It has launched the next phase of its 10-year regeneration strategy.
It will focus on the Broomielaw, Blythswood, Central and St Enoch districts.
The council said it would work with businesses and developers as part of a "conversation with Glaswegians" aimed at shaping the future of their city.
It said the strategy - called the Glasgow City Centre Districts Regeneration Framework - was the first time stakeholders in these areas had been given the opportunity to "put forward their aspirations for regeneration and physical change".
Key priorities for the regeneration of the city centre include:
Launching the latest phase, council leader Frank McAveety said: "The future of Glasgow city centre is of huge importance to so many of us as this area is, without doubt, the economic powerhouse of Scotland.
"This next stage of the regeneration framework for the city centre will look at four districts that play a significant role in our economic and cultural life, to identify and support and then develop the assets they have in new and innovative ways to ensure Glasgow continues to grow.
"There will be an investment of £115m in the city centre from the Glasgow City Region City Deal, and our engagement with the stakeholders of these areas will help decide how this investment is delivered."
He added: "At the end of this process, we can look forward to a city centre that has changed for the better to become an even more attractive place in which to live, work, study, invest and visit."
The first stage in the regeneration of the city centre was carried out in 2015 in the Sauchiehall and Garnethill districts.
After that public consultation, key recommendations included a new cycle and pedestrian bridge and a new urban park over part of the M8 near Charing Cross.
The Scottish Professional Football League's four tiers, the Scottish Cup and the League Cup are all sponsored by betting companies, who have also invested in the shirt sponsorship of clubs such as Rangers and Celtic and in the naming rights for the main stand at Hampden.
On Thursday, SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster praised Ladbrokes for being "a terrific and supportive lead sponsor" for the past two seasons and said his organisation was "thrilled to extend the partnership for next season", saying it was "another clear message of confidence in Scottish football".
BBC Scotland has spoken to former players, the players' union representative, a betting industry expert, a fans' spokesperson and Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers to gather a range of views on Scottish football's bonds with gambling.
"There are more and more high-profile footballers seeking help from gambling addiction.
"A long time ago, I got myself in a lot of bother. It pretty much ruined my football career. It came to a head in 2004, where I tried to commit suicide.
"I'm so fortunate that I don't play football now, where you can bet on first corner, first shy, getting sent off.
"I'd have been doing the lot because I was that engrossed in gambling, totally addicted. Online doesn't help. It's an epidemic, gambling just now.
"I think Joey Barton has been made a bit of a scapegoat. If you went through all the divisions in Scottish football to see how many people are gambling, you wouldn't have football.
"It's so widespread, especially in younger people. It really is a shame because people don't understand the harm and the hurt it causes to them and the families round about them. It's destructive.
"There should be less advertising. It's not like when I played; football is a gambling industry now."
"I liked a bet and I liked a bet on football.
"I've backed against my team once. I wasn't playing in the game. I was at Derry City in 2009 and we had three games in six days, Friday in the League, Monday in the League Cup and Thursday in the Europa League.
"On the Monday, Stephen Kenny rested all the players and played the under-19s in the League Cup - the two big games were the league and the Europa League. I bet against my own team.
"We lost the game, I won my bet and I never did it again. It didn't feel right. But that's not match fixing - that's having inside information."
"It's not just players who are gambling. Managers, referees, directors, chairmen, they've all got inside knowledge.
"Are you telling me they don't have betting accounts? I would suggest they have. When you're Scottish and go to football, from an early age, your father will take you and you stop at two places on the way to the game - the pub and the bookies. That's our culture.
"We've imposed bans and that's not stopping it. There must be another solution.
"Betting companies do a good service to the Scottish game with their financial input, but to ask players not to bet but be standing in a picture beside Ladbrokes and William Hill, that's where the conflict becomes difficult with regards to the players.
"But where would we be in Scottish football without these companies? We would be struggling.
"We're crying out for investment and they've backed us for years. There's a responsibility among all the players, managers, staff, the lot, not to get involved in gambling.
"It's rife, we're not hiding away from it. The majority are probably still doing it.
"You don't just walk into a betting shop now to put a bet on, you don't just have your own account; there are mates, everyone has access to the internet.
"Certain players have been an example of, but there is support for players through the RCA Trust, which is a counselling programme through the PFA.
"But it's a culture and, if we can't stop them with these rules, there must be something else we can come up with to stop gambling in the competitions we're competing in."
"A lot of clubs further down the leagues wouldn't be able to survive without the money that was coming to them via these sponsorships deals, whether that be shirt sponsorships or betting partnerships.
"Players betting on football is a contentious issues. With Joey Barton's case you have to question whether or not there is any actual corruption there - I don't think there is - and I think he has been unfairly castigated.
"There is the need for more money in Scottish football from sponsors and the most obvious source is coming from the betting companies.
"The betting companies see sponsorship of football as a very valuable asset to them in terms of marketing and they are keen to be associated with sport.
"The question of corruption with regard to betting is a very serious matter, but it should be separated from the sponsorship issue.
"I don't think there is a moral issue around gambling - it is fully legal in this country.
"There isn't a huge body of companies willing to sponsor football.
"To try to strip out betting from football would be hugely economically disadvantageous.
"I don't think football is alone in having people who are vulnerable when it comes to gambling."
"There's nothing wrong with a flutter and lots of football fans obviously do.
"But I think, somewhere in between, there needs to be some kind of checks and balances.
"We don't want Scottish football sleep-walking into another controversial area.
"If you really tried hard with all the various betting companies that support Scottish football, you could have £200-worth of free bets.
"That's a fairly big encouragement for people who maybe don't bet or don't have accounts to open up accounts - potentially, it's a slippery slope.
"It's a dangerous precedent that we have is that we're loaded with these sponsorships and we need to have a platform in place that allows Scottish football to move forward and to make sure that all the difficulty that comes with those relationships are in balance."
"It's personal responsibility. You have a choice. You don't have to do it - no-one's asking anyone to go and gamble.
"It's (down to) education and training of young players and people within who are suffering.
"We need to try and help them and educate them and train them. I think what is key for players, and staff, is to lift the burden and speak about it.
"For men, it can be deemed a weakness to talk about it. It's not, it's anything but.
"But gambling, it's personal responsibility. If you choose to do that then there's a consequence to that."
It all sounds pretty momentous. We'll be briefed for an hour by the deputy governor Sir Jon Cunliffe, and we will not be allowed to leave, email, phone or tweet till six o'clock, when the governor will give a speech about all this in the Cairncross memorial lecture at St Peter's College Oxford.
Given all the secrecy and administrative rigmarole, the expectation is that this will be an intervention equivalent in its significance to what the Governor had to say almost two years ago about Scottish independence - and how the growing tax-and-spending autonomy of an autonomous Scotland could put dangerous pressure on the Scottish National Party's hoped-for monetary union with the UK.
Although Mark Carney wasn't explicit, he was seen to be implying that the prosperity and economic stability of Scotland would be damaged by independence.
The widespread presumption therefore is that the Bank of England is a conservative institution (small 'c') and is therefore bound today to come down in favour of the status quo, or continued British membership of the EU.
And this is seen to be made more probable given that the previous incarnation of the individual in charge of the EU in-out review, Cunliffe, was as the UK's Permanent Representative to the European Union - who would be seen as a cautious pragmatist and certainly not a rabid eurosceptic.
However I suspect all that may be to misunderstand the dynamic of the national debate on whether to remain in or leave the EU and also the scope of what the Bank can say.
What is crucial to note is that the Bank is only addressing two issues: would leaving the EU make it harder for the Bank to achieve its target of keeping inflation at 2%; and would quitting the EU somehow make it more difficult for the Bank to prevent banks behaving recklessly or to prevent the City and financial system swinging from boom to bust?
There are arguments in both directions: EU rules have occasionally been seen at the Bank as constraining its room for manoeuvre when regulating banks to keep them safe; on the other hand there is a case that financial institutions' unfettered access to the whole EU market, which could be constrained by exit, makes them more balanced and steady.
That said, the very important point is that the Bank is not opining on whether the UK will be richer or poorer outside the EU. So it won't in any decisive way adjudicate between the passions on each side of this argument.
But it would be extremely odd if its conclusion was other than that it will be able to do its job effectively were the UK out or in the EU.
And if that's the case, that may well cause the pro-Europeans to despair and would presumably make the eurosceptics sing gaily and skip.
Because where fear of the unknown will be a factor in how people vote in the future referendum, if the Bank says that it can and will maintain the underlying conditions for prosperity - low and stable inflation, a sound banking system - in all eventualities, that is bound to be helpful to the cause of the EU outs.
The contents of an ATM on Main Street in Limavady were stolen at around 05:00 BST this morning, police said.
Thieves broke into a charity shop to get access to the machine.
Police are appealing for anyone with information about the incidents to contact them on the non-emergency number 101.
Ellie Rowe, from Glastonbury, Somerset, died after taking the drug at Winchester's Boomtown Fair in 2013.
Robert Boulton admitted being involved in supplying the drug but was not directly involved in the deal itself.
Bradley Rowe called for a debate on sentencing. The Ministry of Justice said "tough options" were available.
Mr Rowe said slightly harsher sentences were in order but added: "I'm not sure that prison is the right place."
He said the debate also needed to look at the legislation surrounding so-called legal highs.
"Plainly, the situation at the moment isn't working," he said.
Boulton, 23, of Goodymoor Avenue, Wells, Somerset, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of ketamine. A charge that he directly supplied the drug was dismissed.
He was given an 18-week suspended sentence and ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work on 3 February.
Since Miss Rowe's death, ketamine has been upgraded from a Class C to a Class B banned substance.
Dealers now face up to 14 years in prison.
A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice said drug dealers were "a blight on society".
"That's why there are tough sentencing options available to the courts to bring drug dealers to justice, including a life sentence for supply of Class A drugs and up to 14 years imprisonment for supply of Class B and C drugs.
"Our approach on drugs remains clear; we must prevent drug abuse in our communities, help dependent individuals through treatment and wider recovery support, while ensuring law enforcement protects society by stopping the supply and tackling the organised crime that is associated with the drugs trade."
Miss Rowe's sister, Iona, who described Ellie as "a happy, vibrant girl", said the family also wanted the dangers of taking ketamine to be more widely known.
"You can think you're being sensible but there's no such thing," she said.
She added it had been the combination of taking a very small amount of ketamine with three cans of lager that had led to her death.
Mr Rowe warned anyone thinking of taking drugs not to do it.
"You could cause an upset which destroys a family," he said.
Correction 16 February 2015: This article has been amended to clarify the charges brought against Robert Boulton.
The annual congressional baseball game in Washington was hailed as a rare and welcome moment of unity among lawmakers of both major parties.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise remains in a critical condition, but improving, after the shooting.
There were huge cheers when his name was heard around the stadium.
"Not here, but in our thoughts and prayers, Steve Scalise," said the announcer before the game, which was won by the Democrats by 11 runs to 2, moving them ahead with 40 wins to 39 in the historic series.
However, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said that his team gave the trophy to the Republicans to put in Mr Scalise's office.
One of the Capitol Police officers, David Bailey, who was hailed as a hero for the way he helped to subdue the gunman, appeared on crutches.
To loud applause he threw the first pitch, which is a longstanding baseball ritual that usually falls to a dignitary or celebrity.
President Donald Trump did not attend but sent a video message of support.
The game, held at Nationals Park, has been a congressional tradition for more than a century.
Both Republicans and Democrats have pointed to the attack as a reason to ease heated political rhetoric.
This isn't just a baseball game. It is a rare and genuine opportunity for Democrats and Republicans to put their divisions aside and show those gathered in the stadium and watching across the US, that they are not just politicians - they are people and players.
One woman who bought her ticket after yesterday's shooting told me she wanted just one feel-good moment after everything that has happened. Another group of Republican interns described the game as the only thing in Washington that really works.
The crowds are holding banners and team colours. Many are tributes and prayers for Congressman Steve Scalise.
There may be fierce rivalry out on the pitch, but there are also a number of players who have become fierce friends.
The suspected gunman, James T Hodgkinson, died from his injuries hours after Wednesday's shooting.
The 66-year-old suspect from Belleville, Illinois, was a volunteer for Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign but whether he was politically motivated is still unclear, investigators said.
A rambling route from Bath through the Cotswolds to Chipping Campden has been captured on Google Street View.
A walker was sent to chart the 102-mile (164 km) path with a backpack containing a 360-degree camera on the top.
The Cotswold Way passes a significant number of historic sites, such as the Neolithic burial chamber at Belas Knap and Hailes Abbey.
This summer also marks 10 years since it became an official National Trail.
The race is run at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey over a distance of one mile, four furlongs and 10 yards on the first Saturday of June each year.
Harzand, ridden by Pat Smullen, held off the challenge of favourite US Army Ranger and Idaho to win the 2016 race.

Not just inherited physical talent, although Greg Rutherford has that: a great-grandfather who played football for Arsenal and England.
Not merely dedication, although Rutherford moved to another continent to train with his coach and then, when he returned to the UK, built a long jump pit and runway in his own back garden so he could train at any time and on any day.
It can't be financial support, because this is a man who lost his kit sponsor a few months after winning Olympic gold and responded by setting up his own clothing line to both wear and pay his mortgage.
Determination? Certainly it helps, for many would give in or try something less capricious, having torn a hamstring at one previous World Championships and limped out injured of another.
All those things, in different ratios, can take you to a major final. But what decides your fate when the battle begins is a recipe more subtle and scarce: fortitude under immense pressure, calmness in the storm, finding your very best when excuses are everywhere to come up just short.
This was a world long jump competition that no-one could get right.
The USA's Jeff Henderson came into the night having jumped far further than anyone else this year. He was out after the first three jumps, fouling twice and coming up short in the other.
Defending champion Aleksandr Menkov, strong enough to succeed with home support two years ago in Moscow, could manage only 8.02 for sixth on distant soil.
Another American, Mike Hartfield, failed to register a single mark. His much-vaunted team-mate, Marquis Dendy, failed to even get through qualifying.
You could find legitimate reasons everywhere. The runway in the Bird's Nest appears unfeasibly fast, the athletes disconcerted by its pace and the way the take-off board seemed to be upon them a foot sooner than normal.
A wide-open final brought its own strange pressures. The three Chinese contenders, Jianan Wang, Xinglong Gao and Jinzhe Li, found the deafening home support not just a wind at their backs but a gale, with jump after jump blowing past the board.
In a blizzard of no-jumps and red crosses on the scoreboard, Rutherford, too, wavered. His first-round jump was huge but so was the foul. So ill had he felt earlier in the day that he doubted if he could even compete. Get-out clauses everywhere. Great effort, better luck next time.
Alone among his rivals, he found not just explanations and excuses but solutions. Back came the throttle. Out went his second effort, safely on the board, for 8.29m. More pressure on those rivals. More over-striding. Less control.
In the fourth round, Rutherford went further still: 8.41m would not just be enough to win it, it was the second longest jump of his life.
After his Olympic triumph in 2012, Rutherford was derided in some quarters as lucky. The big names had messed up. He was competing in an era that paled in comparison to even the recent past.
When he added the Commonwealth title last summer, it attracted the usual asterisk: it's only the Commonwealths. When he won European gold a few weeks later, the critiques shifted only slightly: wait until you're up against the real big boys.
Maybe now, after completing the grand slam of major titles in three years, having beaten everyone there is to beat, on different days, on different tracks, in different conditions, the equivocating will come to an end.
Some might still point dismissively at the distances he has jumped, in an event where the championship record is 8.95m. Rutherford's winning mark in London of 8.31m was the shortest to take Olympic gold since 1972.
To which you can point out one detail, and then the critical one: the previous Olympic final had been won in 8.34m, and if it was all so easy, how come no-one else has been able to do it?
Rutherford, slowly and with several false steps, has learned what it takes. At the Worlds in 2007, he finished 21st in qualifying. Two years later, he jumped a British record of 8.30m in qualifying but could not back it up when it mattered and finished fifth, with a best jump of 8.17m, in the final.
Those lessons were absorbed. Injury destroyed his hopes at the Worlds in Daegu in 2011. Then, with the assistance of an unparalleled coach in Dan Pfaff, he redesigned his technique to ensure it never happened again.
It is not merely by happy chance that all three of Britain's gold medallists in the Olympic Stadium on 2012's Super Saturday have repeated the feat here in the Bird's Nest.
When the Olympics came to Beijing in 2008, all three were as low as sport can take you: Farah, eliminated in the heats; Ennis, watching at home in Sheffield with her fractured right foot in plaster; Rutherford, a footnote in the final in 10th, emotionally shattered after the death of his grandfather and rushed to hospital the following day with kidney and lung infections.
All have come back to the sort of redemption that does not happen by accident and can only be achieved by very few.
In winning the big four, Rutherford has gone further still than those two friends and team-mates and become only the fifth British athlete after Daley Thompson, Sally Gunnell, Linford Christie and Jonathan Edwards to hold all the aces at the same time.
Rutherford has a habit, when taking his three dogs for long walks near his home outside Milton Keynes, of mentally rehearsing big finals, of commentating out loud on the scenes he pictures in his head.
He never sees himself finishing second. Neither, it now seems, do we.
The 18-year-old, Harun Causevic, had been held on a preventative detention order but was released on Monday night and then re-arrested.
He appeared in court on Tuesday, according to local media.
He was one of five teenagers arrested over an alleged plot to carry out an attack during an Anzac memorial event.
Two of the teenagers have since been released but two others were charged with conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts.
Police said in a statement that one of them, Sevdet Besim, had been remanded in custody and would appear in court again on Friday.
The other was an 18-year-old who was also charged on weapons offences.
Meanwhile, it emerged on Monday that a 14-year-old boy from Blackburn in the UK has also been held over the alleged terror plot in Melbourne.
Police said that he had been detained after officers searched some of his electronic devices and found messages to a man in Australia.
The messages on devices linked to the boy led to the Melbourne raids, UK police have said.
A team of UK officers have now arrived in Australia to help with the joint investigation.
On Tuesday, the premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews, said that a "sign of strength and unity" was needed in the wake of these incidents.
He urged people to attend Anzac Day services later this week.
"This is not about faith. This is an affront to faith. This sort of conduct has got nothing to do with religious observance at all," Mr Andrews said, according to ABC News.
Nearly 200 police officers took part in the Melbourne operation early on Saturday morning.
Once of the five teenagers arrested has since complained of mistreatment during the raids.
Some of the men's families have also accused the police of using excessive force.
Acting Assistant Commissioner Tim Cartwright said that police were investigating the complaints.
Police have said that the men were "associates" of Abdul Numan Haider, a teenager shot dead in September after he stabbed two officers.
Anzac Day is an annual day of remembrance for servicemen and women from Australia and New Zealand. A series of events are planned this week to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli, Turkey.
Australia raised its threat level to high last September and has since carried out a series of counter-terrorism raids.
The 21-year-olds have agreed four-year deals with the Black Cats.
McNair, who represented Northern Ireland at Euro 2016, made his United debut in September 2014 and played 27 times for the club.
Scot Love, who spent time on loan at Wigan last season, played twice for United, the first of which was against the Black Cats in February.
BBC Sport NI understands a number of clubs were interested in McNair, who will link up again with former Red Devils boss David Moyes.
Love, meanwhile, is a Scotland Under-21 international who can play at full-back or in midfield.
"I want to add some young players to the squad as well as some senior players and both of them have got really good potential and the opportunity to improve," said Moyes.
"I want to bring in players who are here for the long term as well as the short and hopefully these two are here for the long term."
Moyes succeeded new England manager Sam Allardyce at Sunderland last month.
He made his first signing last week by bringing in defender Papy Djilobodji from Chelsea for £8m.
Adnan Januzaj, who has also been linked with Sunderland, may join McNair and Love in leaving United, with the Belgian wanting a permanent transfer.
Danny Wayte said his property has been turned into a target after goalposts were erected on a playing field nearby.
Mr Wayte said some players became "aggressive" when he refused to hand the ball back after it had been kicked on to his driveway.
The City of Lincoln Council said the men's behaviour was "unacceptable".
Mr Wayte said he has been at the property since 2011 but thought Yarborough Leisure Centre's playing field "got little use" until goals were put up close to his home.
He said in the following years only junior footballers used the field and it was "nice and peaceful".
However, this year, senior teams started using the pitches again and it has made his life a misery.
"It's turned my house into a target and my vehicles on the property... Everything's just being hit by the ball constantly.
"Most disturbing incident was on Sunday. I had half a football team standing at the railings being aggressive shouting abuse while my little girl's there [at the house]."
Simon Colburn, from the City of Lincoln Council, said the football pitches at Yarborough Leisure Centre have been in their current format since the 1980s but would review them and investigate the complaint fully.
He said: "We do not condone the behaviour of the footballers in any way and will be writing to the teams and Lincolnshire Football Association to tell them that their conduct was unacceptable, it will not be tolerated and must not happen again.
"We will take appropriate action against individuals or teams where this occurs."
Lincolnshire FA is also investigating the incident.
The 21-year-old moved to the Premier League champions in 2011 from Luton and has played for their development side.
He has previously spent time on loan at Mansfield and the 2014-15 season in League One with Walsall.
"He plays forward and he wants to create something. I just felt that we needed that in the squad," boss Gary Bowyer told the club website.

Williams, 22, is one of three debutants along with Ebbw Vale's Luke Crocker and Ethan Davies of Cross Keys.
Luke Treharne will captain the side against England, Australia and Kenya in Pool D.
The Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens takes place on 4-5 December.
"It is exciting to have Jordan [Williams] involved from the Scarlets and he has all the attributes to excel on the World Series," said Wales head coach Gareth Williams.
"Luke [Crocker] and Ethan [Davies] have graduated through the intense summer programme and have trained well alongside the Core Group once given that opportunity.
"Ethan's form in the Principality Premiership for Cross Keys has been fantastic and deserves a return to international competition following his time previously with the Under-20s,"
Wales Sevens squad for Dubai and South Africa: Luke Treharne (Wales Sevens, capt), Sam Cross (Wales Sevens, vice-capt), Ben Roach (Wales Sevens), Lloyd Evans (Ospreys), Owen Jenkins (Blues), Luke Crocker (Ebbw Vale), Nicky Griffiths (Wales Sevens), Angus O'Brien (Dragons), Ethan Davies (Cross Keys), Kristian Phillips (Ospreys), Jordan Williams (Scarlets), Chris Knight (Wales Sevens).

Josh Wood's score put the Red Devils ahead after a nervy Leeds start.
Rhinos were then at their superb best, Ryan Hall's muscular run and finish the first of seven tries in a first-half burst of 36 unanswered points.
The hosts improved and hit back with Ben Murdoch-Masila twice crashing over, but Leeds were always in control.
Salford, who are now two points behind the Rhinos and remain 10 adrift of leaders Castleford, had no response to a blistering opening period by the visitors which saw them miss tackles and fail to deal with numerous line breaks.
Tom Briscoe touched down for Leeds' second try after sustained pressure, centre Kallum Watkins went over in the corner after a smart dummy and a fourth try arrived when Matt Parcell dived over after some quick thinking by Keith Galloway.
Centre Watkins then had to be replaced following a high tackle by Junior Sa'u, who was sin-binned, but that did not stop the home side's flow.
Joel Moon stretched the lead further, Jamie Jones-Buchanan carved open the home defence to go over and Briscoe's eighth try of the season ensured a 36-6 interval lead.
The excellent Murdoch-Masila's powerful second-half double gave the Red Devils some hope and Michael Dobson also went over.
But Anthony Mullally settled any nerves and teenage full-back Jack Walker's last-gasp try ensured a 50-point haul and sealed a stylish win.
Salford coach Ian Watson: "Leeds played really well straight from the kick-off and taught us a lesson on how you play a top-of-the-table clash.
"It's a lesson we need to learn. We were not happy with the way we started the game. To say we were off is a massive understatement.
"We are normally a group that work really hard for each other but in the first half our attitude was off.
"Leeds got on the front foot and played too fast for us. If you can't control the speed of the ruck, you are in for a long day and we were constantly on the back foot."
Leeds coach Brian McDermott: "Danny Maguire's involvement is still of an extremely high quality and it was the most dominant I've seen Ryan Hall for some time.
"We were outstanding in the first half and we were very committed in the second half when Salford made more of a contest of it. In the past when we've had a chance to perhaps go top or second, we haven't quite grasped it but we looked very focused in the first half.
"Salford are not in a false position, we knew they are a good team, and sometimes you have got to fear the opposition to bring out the best in you. We were on our guard.
"I don't have much of an issue with the second half because it was more about Salford switching on and being good than us dropping off.
"It was the first dry track we've been on for a while and I think that played a part. Offensively, that's as good as we've been for a long time."
Salford Red Devils: O'Brien, Evalds, Sa'u, Welham, Johnson, Lui, Dobson, Tasi, Wood, Kopczak, Jones, Murdoch-Masila, Hauraki.
Replacements: Brinning, Griffin, Krasniqi, Lannon.
Leeds Rhinos: Walker, Briscoe, Watkins, Ward, Hall, Moon, McGuire, Galloway, Parcell, Singleton, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Cuthbertson.
Replacements: Garbutt, Mullally, Walters, Lilley.

The media have been key players during conflicts - including during the 2011 civil war.
Media outlets were used as propaganda tools during the five-month military standoff between rival claimants to the presidency.
Since the end of the conflict, the media have largely steered clear of using inflammatory rhetoric.

Richard Tait steered home after poor play from County captain Andrew Davies.
Motherwell's second came from the penalty spot as Louis Moult picked himself up to convert following Kenny van der Weg's foul, for which the Dutchman was sent off.
The Dingwall side will be frustrated as they dominated the first half without making their possession count.
Well boss Stephen Robinson's frustration at the three red cards his team received last weekend was well documented, and there were only three minutes on the clock here when stand-in captain Ben Heneghan was shown a yellow for taking out Craig Curran.
Andy Rose and County's Tim Chow would join him in referee Alan Muir's book later in a first half that the visitors edged in terms of possession and chances.
At times the Dingwall men's passing was crisp and clever, despite losing Jim O'Brien early to injury. His replacement - Chris Routis - tested Russell Griffiths with an overhead kick but the Motherwell goalkeeper was perfectly placed to catch it with ease.
Michael Gardyne had County's other best chance of the opening 45 minutes, the Dundonian running on to Jason Naismith's low cut-back from the right and sending a shot towards the corner of the home side's net. Yet again, though, former Everton youth goalkeeper Griffiths was well placed to push it round the post.
Ross County played three at the back, with deep-lying midfielder Jamie Lindsay - on loan from Celtic - looking competent when he had to drop back and help out his defenders.
Motherwell's creative players such as Chris Cadden and Craig Tanner were largely stifled in the first half. The exception was when Moult released Cadden down the right and his teasing cross was nearly headed in by Alex Fisher.
The same theme of County dominance seemed to be developing after the break until the visitors hit the self-destruct button.
Davies took a fresh air kick at a relatively routine low delivery from Cadden that then rolled into the path of Tait, who turned in his second goal of the season from 12 yards.
The Staggies went on to lose two defenders through injury and a red card. Davies limped off with what looked like a hamstring strain before Van der Weg's foul prevented Moult from latching on to a through ball.
Referee Muir flashed the red card at the Dutchman and Moult buried the penalty in the bottom right corner - his third of the campaign.
The home side's second-half display merited the three points, with a tactical change to 3-5-2 helping turn the game in their favour.

Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Comrade Duch, said the four were killed because they had trespassed into Cambodia.
He said "Brother Number Two" Nuon Chea had personally instructed him to execute the four.
Duch is serving a life sentence for his role in running a notorious prison where thousands of inmates were killed.
He is now testifying against two deputies of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot.
A UN tribunal is trying to uncover the truth behind the "Killing Fields" atrocities, in which at least 1.8 million Cambodians were killed between 1975 and 1979.
In his evidence on Thursday, Duch said the four Westerners included two Americans.
All were killed at a school that became a torture centre, he said.
It is thought that at least 15,000 men, women and children deemed enemies of the regime were tortured and then executed while Duch was the commander of Tuol Sleng prison, which became part of the notorious "killing fields" outside Phnom Penh.
Duch said the foreigners - whose identities are unknown - were killed because they had trespassed into Cambodian waters.
"They were interrogated and smashed [as] per instructions," he told the court.
"They had to be burnt to ashes so there is no evidence that foreigners were smashed by us."
Duch has insisted that he was only following orders from senior Khmer Rouge leaders, including Nuon Chea, to execute prisoners.
Most Khmer Rouge victims died from starvation, torture, exhaustion or disease in labour camps, with many beaten to death during country-wide mass executions.
Nuon Chea and former head of state Khieu Samphan - both in their 80s and in poor health - are being prosecuted at the UN-backed court for war crimes and genocide. They were sentenced to life imprisonment in 2014 for crimes against humanity.
The complex case against them was divided to ensure they were punished while still alive. Two of their co-defendants, Ieng Sary and Ieng Thirith, are dead. Pol Pot himself died in 1998.
Correspondents say that there is little optimism the tribunal will be able to bring justice and closure to the time of genocide, because the decade-old process has been fraught with delays, political interference and funding problems.
But just how much do you know about the world's "greenest" football club?
BBC Sport looks at five things you may not be aware of about the non-league outfit, founded in 1889.
They have not kicked a ball yet and Forest Green have already broken an EFL record.
The Gloucestershire town of Nailsworth, where Rovers are based, has become the smallest settlement to ever host a Football League club.
With a population of just 5,800, Nailsworth is home to about 2,000 more people than attended the second leg of Rovers' 3-1 aggregate play-off semi-final win over Dagenham & Redbridge at The New Lawn.
In July 2015, Forest Green unveiled plans for a new stadium within an 'Eco Park', to be ready later this decade.
Owner Dale Vince, who believes the club can "easily win promotion to League One", ambitiously and confidently declared that Forest Green "will be" a Football League club by the time they eventually move in.
The plans for an all-seater stadium and a 100-acre sports and green technology centre - all next to junction 13 of the M5 - have impressed supporters.
Similarities can certainly be drawn with Gloucestershire's newest 'environmentally-friendly' service station, nearby on the same stretch of motorway, serving locally-sourced food, and this new stadium is part of Vince's vision for a green club.
But their existing ground is hardly a menace to the environment...
For example, in December 2012, the club won an award for growing a pitch without using chemicals.
The 'organic' playing surface, spread using Scottish seaweed, is thought to be the first in the world.
The surface was criticised by former manager Ady Pennock last season, perhaps accelerating him being replaced by current boss Mark Cooper.
But with solar panels powering the electricity at The New Lawn and the club even using a solar-powered lawn mower to trim the grass, Vince has gone all-out in his aim to be the greenest club on the planet.
Fans of League Two clubs visiting the Gloucestershire side next season will not be seeing beef burgers and steak pies on the menu at The New Lawn.
That is because owner Vince has introduced vegan-only food for supporters.
But the players themselves are banned from eating red meat and dietary habits have been known to be a factor during recruitment.
The National League side take bringing players in very seriously.
The club use the 'Moneyball' philosophy, using statistics to determine which players to sign.
However, they now have a vacancy in that department after performance analyst Charlie Reeves left to take up a role with Premier League side Everton.
The economics graduate joined the club in October 2015 and said: "I'm extremely grateful to Forest Green for supporting my work - they have always given me all the tools I needed to push the analytics as far as I could.
"At Everton, I hope to have a meaningful effect on the way the club works, utilise the power of data analysis and ultimately the performance of the team on the pitch."
The original version of this story appeared on the BBC Sport website on 13 May 2016.
Head coach Steve Hansen revealed all but two members of his squad have suffered with diarrhoea and vomiting.
But Hansen said it would not affect selection for the match and confirmed Dan Carter will start at outside-half after recovering from an ankle injury.
"Hopefully we've been smart enough to keep energy tanks full," said Hansen.
The majority of the New Zealand team succumbed to severe food poisoning 48 hours before the 1995 World Cup final. The All Blacks went on to lose the final 15-12 to South Africa.
The New Zealander admitted it had been a difficult week but did not anticipate anyone would require a fitness test.
All Blacks number eight Kieran Read said the players had a "guided tour of the bathrooms" on Wednesday before adding that he now felt "a lot better".
"Hopefully it's a 24 hour thing. It's just something you have to handle and we'll be alright for Saturday," said Read.
Hansen has made three changes to the New Zealand team hoping to defeat England and extend their unbeaten run to 21 games.
Carter returns to fly-half after missing the 33-10 victory over Wales on Saturday because of injury, while hooker Keven Mealamu replaces the suspended Andrew Hore and Brodie Retallick is picked ahead of Luke Romano in the second row.
Former Wales coach Hansen said he was not taking a gamble on star man Carter, saying: "He's telling us that he's right to play, his actions are telling us he's right to play, so we'll play him."
Hansen also admitted he was embarrassed by Hore's behaviour after the player was banned for five weeks for striking Wales lock Bradley Davies, and could understand why some believed the hooker's suspension was too lenient.
Hore's ban will run until Sunday, 24 February, which means he will miss Saturday's Test and three Super Rugby pre-season matches for the Highlanders.
"He admits himself the intent was to do something else but he got it drastically wrong," said Hansen of the strike which left Davies needing to be taken to hospital with concussion.
"It's not us that set the rules, it's the IRB [International Rugby Board]. Do we agree with it? Probably not but it's there."
New Zealand: I Dagg; C Jane, C Smith, M Nonu, J Savea; D Carter, A Smith; T Woodcock, K Mealamu, O Franks, B Retallick, S Whitelock, L Messam, R McCaw (capt), K Read. Replacements: D Coles, W Crockett, C Faumuina, L Romano, V Vito, P Weepu, A Cruden, B Smith.
PSA, the owner of Peugeot and Citroen has agreed to buy GM's European operations for £1.9bn.
The head of PSA Carlos Tavares, sought to calm fears of plant closures but said it was up to workers to build profitability.
The UK factories at Ellesmere Port and Luton employ about 4,500 people.
Mr Clark said: "The conversations that I and the Prime Minister have had, both with GM and PSA, tell me [PSA] intend to safeguard the plants, honour their commitments and look to increase the performance and the sales of cars.
"We want to hold them to those commitments, but the messages we've had lead me to be cautiously optimistic." He added.
With GM's Opel and Vauxhall operations, PSA Group will become the second largest carmaker in Europe, behind Volkswagen.
GM Europe has not made a profit since 1999, but Mr Tavares promised to get the business back in the black once again.
The fine print behind the GM deal
Why is Vauxhall being sold to Peugeot's owner?
In a statement, Mr Tavares, said: "We are confident that the Opel/Vauxhall turnaround will significantly accelerate with our support, while respecting the commitments made by GM to the Opel/Vauxhall employees."
PSA said it expected to make savings of £1.47bn per year by 2026, with most of the cuts made by 2020.
Mr Tavares told the BBC that he trusted the Vauxhall staff to work in a "constructive manner" with PSA to improve their performance.
"As long as we improve the performance and we become the best, there is no risk they should fear."
One worker at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port plant in Cheshire told reporters this morning: "I think the deal is good for current GM and Vauxhall employees, but is there a future for younger workers after 2021?"
Next year PSA will decide where it will make the next generation of Astra cars currently made in the UK against the background of Brexit negotiations.
Len McCluskey, general secretary of Unite, said that the union would continue to "work day and night" to fight for Vauxhall staff at plants at Luton and Ellesmere Port.
Vauxhall workers 'in the dark'
Thousands more workers are involved in Vauxhall's showrooms and supply chain.
"The current (Astra) model in Ellesmere Port goes up to 2020/2021 but really it's this time next year, maybe the middle of next year, (when) we would need to secure acceptance of a new model there.
"That's really the challenge for all of us.
"My call to the government is to make certain that our government is at the table, just as the French and German governments will be, batting for their workforce," Mr McCluskey said.
GM chairman and chief executive Mary Barra said it had been a difficult decision to sell Opel and Vauxhall, and insisted the business would have broken even in 2016 had it not been for the UK's decision to leave the European Union, which caused a sharp drop in the value of the pound.
But the Business Secretary, Greg Clark, said the deal had nothing to do with Brexit: "This is a restructuring of the organisation. In my discussions with PSA, the chief executive said today that Brexit isn't an essential driver of this."
"We want to have the best possible trading relationship with Europe, but in any event Carlos Tavares has said that there are opportunities post-Brexit."
Former Business Secretary Sir Vince Cable expressed concerns about jobs because of the government's "lack of commitment to the customs union and the single market".
"Car components have to go backwards and forwards across frontiers and they will acquire tariffs and checks.
"And Vauxhall is particularly exposed to this, [as] about 80% of its exports are to the European Union.
"And if you're a hard-headed car executive looking at the competitiveness of Britain versus German plants, Britain, I'm afraid, is going to slip down the ranking in future."
Professor Christian Stadler, of Warwick Business School, said: "I would expect job cuts. PSA has done it before and there is no other way to realistically achieve the cost savings they have in mind, which might possibly mean plant closures as well.
"Whether this is a Vauxhaul/Opel plant or a Peugeot plant is hard to say at the moment."
PSA Group says it will cut costs to increase profits, which has stoked concerns for more than 4,000 Vauxhall jobs in the UK.
The new owners met government and unions last week and provided assurance that existing production commitments would be honoured at Ellesmere Port till 2020 and Luton for some years beyond that.
However, it is generally accepted that the 24 factories the combined company will have in Europe is too many.
The deal is an exit from Europe for GM which has lost billions here since the turn of the millennium. It will allow them to focus on its home market of the US and its expanding operations in China.
PSA has said many countries are reluctant to buy French cars and the Opel brand will help them expand into new markets.
The chancellor will have extra motivation to be supportive of the car industry when he delivers Wednesday's Budget. He is expected to announce investment in skills, research and development around electric car technology in which PSA has so far lagged behind its rivals.
An interior ministry spokesman said Abdul Rahim al-Faraj was suspected of killing security forces personnel.
Police were shot at when they raided his home in Awamiya on Wednesday evening and responded, it added.
Mr Faraj is reportedly the fifth member of his extended family to have been killed since protests by Shia against the Sunni monarchy erupted in 2011.
The interior ministry spokesman told the official Saudi Press Agency that during Wednesday's raid in Eastern Province police were "exposed to heavy fire from unidentified people, necessitating a response in kind".
No bystanders or security personnel were wounded in the gunfight, he said.
"Later, the security authorities were notified of the arrival of a deceased person as a result of a gunshot in the dispensary of Modhar Association in Awamiya," he added.
An identity check showed it was Abdul Rahim Faraj, who was suspected along with his brother Majid of involvement in a number of "terrorist crimes", including shooting dead several security personnel, the spokesman said.
They were also wanted for allegedly attacking citizens and public property, and for armed robbery.
Awamiya was the hometown of the prominent Shia cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, who was executed on terrorism-related charges earlier this year, drawing condemnation from Iran and its allies in the region.
Sheikh Nimr was an outspoken critic of the monarchy and backed protests by the Shia minority community, which has long complained of discrimination by the state and defamation of their beliefs by state-sanctioned clerics.
Pressure had been mounting on Inacio after the Cairo club missed out on the semi-finals of this season's African Champions League.
Their draw with Al Ahly Tripoli signalled their fate in Africa's premier club competition.
Zamalek also lost to Lebanon's Al-Ahed in the Arab Championship this week.
Zamalek need to be more stable, the coaches must have enough time
That defeat placed more pressure on 62-year-old Inacio with Zamalek's president, Mortada Mansour, summoning the Portuguese coach to a meeting.
There were subsequent claims that the coach had been detained at the club and was prevented from leaving, claims which Zamalek vehemently denied.
Another meeting followed, after which Zamalek announced that a financial agreement had been reached to terminate Inacio's contract.
On leaving Mansour's office, Inacio confirmed to reporters that he was departing the club.
"I have ended my contract with Zamalek. Now I become one of the team's fans," Inacio said.
"I wanted my time with the club to be better but that did not happen.
"Zamalek need to be more stable, the coaches must have enough time. The players must be more professional and do their best," Inacio added.
Gareth Roderick fell four runs short of a ton, bowled by Luke Wood (3-85) who took two wickets in as many balls as the hosts were all out for 303.
The visitors slipped to 74-2 when openers Steven Mullaney (38) and Jake Libby (30) fell in successive overs.
But Patel (78*) and Pujara (67) guided Notts to 221-3 at close, 82 behind.
Both men had to be patient for their runs, with Patel bringing up his half-century off 120 balls, while it took the Indian Test star 13 further deliveries to reach his 50.
Nottinghamshire batsman Cheteshwar Pujara told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"I didn't want to get out. Not on this wicket where I was really comfortable.
"At times it was difficult to score runs, but if you apply yourself out there they can't get you out.
"We don't have to do anything extra, just keep batting the same way. If we can get to 400 it will be tough for them on day four."
Craig Williams, who beat Labour to hold Cardiff North, said the Tories were "here to stay", as they won 11 of the 40 Welsh seats.
The party captured Gower by 27 votes, a constituency Labour had held for more than 100 years.
The Tories also gained Brecon and Radnorshire from the Lib Dems and Vale of Clwyd from Labour.
In a triumphant night for the Conservatives, the party achieved its best showing in Wales since 1983 and won the UK general election with an overall majority of 12 seats.
Overall the parties' share of the vote in Wales, compared to 2010 was:
In terms of voting share across Wales, Labour and Conservative support is broadly similar to the previous general election.
But UKIP's share leapt from 2% to 14%, while the Liberal Democrat's plunged from 20% to 6%.
In terms of seats, the numbers are:
Craig Williams - who succeeded Jonathan Evans as Tory MP for Cardiff North - defied Labour to boost the Conservative majority from under 200 to more than 1,500.
He said: "This is Wales, this is meant to be Labour's pasture but the Welsh Conservatives are really here and here to stay.
"This is a game-changer for the Conservative Party in Wales... let's see what we can do."
Conservative Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said he was "obviously very happy" at a "great set of results".
Meanwhile, the Tories' coalition partners the Lib Dems have been virtually wiped out - holding just one seat.
Plaid Cymru retained three seats but failed to make gains.
In Dwyfor Meirionnydd, Liz Saville Roberts will become Plaid's first female MP, succeeding Elfyn Llwyd who stood down.
Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones said: "Clearly it was not the result we were hoping for last night, and I will be playing a full part in building up our party for the upcoming elections."
Labour's Shadow Home Secretary Owen Smith, who held Pontypridd, said: "I think we fought a great campaign. I thought we fought a very positive campaign."
But former Neath MP Peter Hain added: "Clearly this is a bad night for Labour."
He said he was glad that people in Wales had rejected the "narrow nationalism" of Plaid Cymru but added that the results "show that we need to do much more to win back support from people across the country".
The leader of UKIP in Wales, Nathan Gill, finished fourth in Ynys Mon, but the party came third in terms of share of the vote across Wales, ahead of Plaid Cymru.
Mr Gill told BBC Radio Wales: "We lost every single deposit five years ago - we are now the third party in Wales."
He said under a "first past the post" system UKIP had not benefited from the share of the vote the party received.
But he added: "In the assembly elections, there is proportional representation as well as first past the post. We will get representation there."
UKIP leader Nigel Farage also welcomed the boost in support for his party in places such as south Wales and north east England.
Shortly before learning he had failed to take Thanet South from the Conservatives, he told reporters UKIP would look to future opportunities, such as next year's Welsh assembly and London mayoral elections.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said her party's result was "not as bad as it could have been".
She insisted the party had "gone up in the Rhondda and the western valleys" and the results had "laid some very good foundations for the assembly elections next year".
"We have improved our showing," Ms Wood added.
Speaking to BBC Wales, Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams said it would be an understatement to say she was "gutted" at her party's results, which were "truly devastating".
She added: "It seems a trend across Europe where, if you are the smaller party in a coalition government, you can get severely punished as we have done overnight for taking that decision.
"We made mistakes in that coalition government. The issue with tuition fees was fundamentally damaging to the fact that perhaps people stopped listening to what we had to say... and it was difficult to get across what we were delivering as part of the coalition."
Welcoming an increase in the Greens' Welsh vote share, from 0.4% to 2.6%, the party's leader in Wales, Pippa Bartolotti, said: "We have been overwhelmed by the increase in support for Greens in Wales over recent months.
"We will build on this support over the next year in order to win seats at the assembly elections," she added.
The overall turnout for the election was 65.7%, a slight increase on the 2010 election which saw 64.9% of the population turn out to vote.
Political expert Prof Roger Scully, from Cardiff University, said the night had been historic:
Think tank director Lee Waters told BBC Radio Wales the nation had radically changed from what was once a "Tory-free zone".
"The Conservatives now have 27% of the vote in Wales, they have got 11 seats," he said.
"Only as recent as '97 Wales was a Tory-free zone."
"Labour is still the larger party," he added, "but this is now a plural country. It's far more mixed than the story we have told ourselves."

Officials said a building storing fireworks in the largest market area of Lagos Island exploded, and the ensuing blaze spread to up to nine buildings.
The blast reportedly shook windows in homes miles away and a thick cloud of smoke could be seen over the city.
More than 30 people have been injured.
By Tomi OladipoBBC, Lagos
A cloud of smoke billowed from the scene of the explosion, accompanied by the sparks of fireworks.
The sound of popping and crackling carried on as the fire raged on in this densely populated part of Lagos, full of closely packed buildings in narrow streets.
Residents of the area told me they thought it was a bomb at first when a blast shook buildings around Jankara Market, the largest in Lagos.
A few people showed me shrapnel wounds they suffered even though they were a fair distance from the explosion.
There was little that people could do but watch, with some trying to get photographs of the incident on their mobile phones.
Emergency workers say they had problems getting past the huge crowds of onlookers, similar to a complaint they raised in June when a plane crashed into a residential area in another part of Lagos.
An official from the National Emergency Management Agency (Nema) told AFP news agency that a charred body had been pulled out of the building where the fireworks detonated.
The force of the initial blast was such that some residents reportedly mistook it for a bomb or a falling plane.
Windows in nearby buildings were shattered and a neighbouring school was badly damaged.
Thousands of people in the area gathered to watch, as the fire destroyed neighbouring buildings.
Some were desperately searching the crowd for information on family members while the fire was burning and sporadic fireworks explosions could still be heard.
"Everything has burned now. I don't see my brother now or his son - I've not seen anybody now. They might have collapsed inside there, nobody can enter there," said one man.
Some residents jumped out of windows in panic as fireworks exploded long after the initial blaze, according to a statement from Nema quoted by AFP.
The BBC's Tomi Oladipo described seeing other people who had sustained shrapnel wounds some distance from the fire.
Some were hurt as they tried to put out the flames and were taken to hospital for treatment.
Firefighters took about an hour to reach the scene, partly because of the huge crowds, our correspondent says.
Residents grabbed hoses from fire engines in attempt to fight the blaze, but the water quickly ran out, Associated Press reports.
A government official told Reuters news agency that the firefighting operation was hampered by the risk of new explosions from so many fireworks.
"It's very dangerous for the firemen to go in, because the government don't want any of these men to be injured."
Police and security officials reportedly recovered mortar-like fireworks and empty firework shells from the scene.
Our correspondent says that for years there have been calls to ban fireworks.
However, they continue to be widely used during the Christmas and new year holidays.
Four liners are to visit Invergordon on the Cromarty Firth, with many of the passengers taking coaches to make trips to Inverness and other places.
AIDACara, Disney Magic and Nautica are already in the firth with Hebridean Princess due to arrive later.
The ships carry more than 4,000 passengers, smaller than Invergordon's record of 6,600 passengers in a single day earlier this year.
Two large cruise ships were involved on that day.
Disney Magic previously visited Invergordon last year.

Five men convicted in 2008 for the Staffordshire murder of Kevin Nunes were cleared on appeal in 2012.
But the IPCC said "no evidence of a cover up or of wilful omission" by any of the officers was found.
Police leaders said they were pleased with the outcome.
The body of Mr Nunes was found in September 2002 in a country lane in Pattingham, Staffordshire.
He had been shot in what was believed to be a gangland killing over drugs.
Levi Walker, from Birmingham, Adam Joof, from Willenhall in the West Midlands, Antonio Christie, from Great Bridge in the West Midlands and Michael Osbourne and Owen Crooks, both from Wolverhampton, were found guilty of murder after a trial at Leicester Crown Court in 2008.
They were given minimum tariffs of between 25 and 28 years.
However, the Court of Appeal overturned the convictions in 2012, with Lord Justice Hooper criticising a "very bad case of non-disclosure" regarding the credibility of a witness, leading to "what appears to us to be a serious perversion of the course of justice".
An investigation was launched into the conduct of current Staffordshire Chief Constable Jane Sawyers, Gloucestershire Chief Constable Suzette Davenport, West Midlands Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale and Adrian Lee, who retired as chief constable of Northamptonshire Police last year.
All four were officers at Staffordshire at the time of the murder investigation.
The Independent Police Complaints Committee (IPCC) said it looked at "disclosure issues" before the 2008 murder trial and "how a protected witness was dealt with by Staffordshire Police" but "no evidence of a cover up or of wilful omission by any of the four senior officers" was found.
IPCC deputy chair Sarah Green said: "This has been an extremely complex and lengthy investigation.
"There is broad agreement there were serious failings at Staffordshire Police following the murder of Kevin Nunes in 2002 and the conviction of five defendants for that murder in 2008.
"However, cases for gross misconduct or misconduct have been rejected by the appropriate authorities who are responsible for holding misconduct hearings.
"After careful consideration I have accepted the appropriate authorities' assessments and decided not to issue directions that misconduct hearings be held."
Mrs Sawyers said it was right her actions were "thoroughly investigated".
But she said the management of the investigation by the IPCC "resulted in a lengthy, costly and disproportionate investigation from which there are no winners".
In a statement released by Gloucestershire's Police and Crime Commissioner Martin Surl, Ms Davenport said she had always tried to carry out duties "diligently and professionally" and was "pleased and relieved" the IPCC matters were concluded.
Northamptonshire PCC Adam Simmonds said even though Mr Lee retired last year, this had been "a real burden upon him and his family". Mr Simmonds said he was "very pleased" all those concerned could "move on with their lives".
West Midlands Police declined to comment.

"Thoughts are with the family of the @ChesterFC fan who passed away at the game tonight. The game was insignificant. Awful news. RIP," Chester defender Ross Killock said.
Tranmere won the game 3-2 to move up to second place in the National League table.
Among the Chester goalscorers was striker James Alabi, who said: "Tough game to take. I want to dedicate my goal to the fan that sadly passed away today at the game, my deepest thoughts are with the family."

The phones with this fault were manufactured between September and October 2015, it said in a statement.
Affected devices will suddenly stop working even though the handset's battery has plenty of charge.
Anyone with an eligible phone who takes up the offer will get a free replacement battery for their handset.
In its announcement, Apple urged customers who believe they have a faulty phone to contact an Apple store, an authorised repair shop or the firm's support line to start the process of getting a new battery. A "limited serial number range" was affected, it said.
Phone owners should back up data and then wipe it all off the handset before surrendering it for the replacement, it added. Phones with cracked screens might have to be repaired before Apple would go ahead with swapping the battery, it said.
Apple added that mobile operators would not be taking part in the replacement effort.
The AppleInsider website suggested that the fault with the iPhone 6S could be traced to people charging their handset with generic chargers rather than Apple's own-brand ones.
Using one of these third-party chargers damaged circuitry which meant the amount of charge in the battery was not being reported correctly to the phone's operating system. Apple has not confirmed if this is the cause.
The battery swap programme comes only a few days after Apple announced a separate offer intended to fix a fault on the iPhone 6 Plus.
That problem meant that the touchscreens on some handsets steadily became less and less responsive if they had been accidentally dropped on to a hard surface a few times.
Gadget sites traced the cause to chips used to drive the touchscreen that came loose after an impact. | Apple is offering to replace the batteries of a "small number" of iPhone 6S phones with a fault that makes them unexpectedly shut down. | 38,049,296 | 355 | 32 | false |
Ms Pascal will start a production company that will launch in May 2015.
She has already apologised for certain revelations that came as a result of the leaked emails.
Last month, Sony condemned the "vicious" attack, which led it to suspend the release of the film 'The Interview'.
"I have spent almost my entire professional life at Sony Pictures and I am energized to be starting this new chapter based at the company I call home," said Ms Pascal in a statement.
She added that her transition to a production role had been discussed "for some time".
As part of the agreement, Sony will fund her production company for at least the next four years, and it will retain distribution rights.
Sony did not immediately name a successor to Ms Pascal, leaving Michael Lynton as the sole head of one of Hollywood's biggest production studios.
Ms Pascal was one of the highest profile Sony names whose emails were leaked as part of the hack.
She reportedly commented on the viewing habits of President Barack Obama in a derogatory manner in an email to producer Scott Rudin.
Ms Pascal and Mr Rudin both subsequently apologised for the emails, with Ms Pascal saying in a statement at the time: "The content of my emails to Scott were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am.
"Although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended."
On 24 November, Sony revealed that it had been the subject of a hack by a group calling themselves Guardians of Peace (GOP).
GOP was later traced back to North Korea, who US authorities believe instituted the attack in retaliation for Sony's decision to produce 'The Interview', in which North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un is killed.
The group gained access to the firm's network and stole huge amounts of internal information, including emails and copies of films, such as Annie, that had not yet been released.
Although Sony did withdraw The Interview before its planned release, it ultimately made it available to view online and allowed it to be shown at some cinemas.
The film made about $15m (£9.6m) through downloads alone over its first three days of distribution. | Sony Pictures' Amy Pascal has stepped down as co-chair of Sony's movie studio following a debilitating cyber attack that revealed her private emails. | 31,157,107 | 496 | 35 | false |
Godfrey Bloom was recorded saying payments were being used to buy items like sunglasses and luxury cars.
He also claimed UK aid was spent on fighter planes in Pakistan.
UKIP chairman Steve Crowther said Bongo Bongo Land was an "outdated description of foreign parts".
In footage obtained by the Guardian, recorded last month at a meeting in Wordsley, West Midlands, Mr Bloom said: "How we can possibly be giving £1bn a month, when we're in this sort of debt, to Bongo Bongo Land is completely beyond me.
By Louise StewartPolitical correspondent, BBC News
Godfrey Bloom is no stranger to controversy and he's not shying away from the comments he made.
In fact he took to the airwaves to defend them and said suggestions they carried any racist implications were "absurd" and "laughable".
He's also tried to make light of his comments, saying that bongo bongo land isn't real but if he's offended anyone there he'll apologise personally.
He appears bullish and says he speaks for ordinary people who are unrepresented by the current system.
The comments are embarrassing for UKIP as they come just days before the party is due to publish its list of approved candidates for next year's European elections.
Leader Nigel Farage has pledged to purge UKIP of intolerance and racism. Critics will argue that, if he's serious about that, he must now show that applies to everyone in his party.
"To buy Ray-Ban sunglasses, apartments in Paris, Ferraris and all the rest of it that goes with most of the foreign aid.
"F18s for Pakistan. We need a new squadron of F18s. Who's got the squadrons? Pakistan, where we send the money."
Questioned on the BBC News Channel, Mr Bloom, MEP for Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire, said it would be "absurd" and "ridiculous" to label his comments racist.
He said Bongo Bongo Land was "a figment of people's imagination. It's like Ruritania or the Third World".
He added: "It's sad how anybody can be offended by a reference to a country that doesn't exist."
Mr Bloom told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "If I've offended anybody in Bongo Bongo Land I will write to their ambassador at the Court of St James."
The government has protected the international aid budget from spending cuts.
Mr Bloom said: "What I would argue is that it is for the individual citizen, it's not for the likes of David Cameron to pick up our pockets and send money to the charities of his choice.
"If I want to send money to charity, I will do it of my own accord."
Mr Bloom said there were "people in this country who can't get treatment for cancer, there are people who are waiting in the queue for dialysis machines" and that "charity begins at home".
However, party chairman Mr Crowther told Sky News: "In my opinion it [Bongo Bongo Land] is a rather outdated description of foreign parts.
"To me it doesn't sound like anybody banging drums. It sounds like a shorthand way of saying places around the world which are in receipt of foreign aid.
"It's not in itself the right word to use and it could seem disparaging to people who come from foreign countries and that's why I've asked him not to do it again."
Mr Crowther told the BBC: : "It is lazy language, it is old-fashioned, and it is not language we want to hear used by our senior party members. That is a mistake Godfrey has made and he will not make it again."
For Labour, shadow international development minister Rushanara Ali said: "These are an offensive and narrow-minded set of remarks."
She added: "If Nigel Farage is serious about getting rid of racism and intolerance in his party, he should take action against UKIP politicians who think it's acceptable to refer to developing countries as 'Bongo Bongo Land'."
Laura Pidcock, from campaign group Show Racism the Red Card, told Today that "these crude stereotypes that see Britain as a civilised place and overseas as tribal" were "incredibly damaging".
The annual accounts for the Department for International Development show that £203.1m was spent on Pakistan in 2012-13.
They state that the largest amount of the money of 31.4% was spent on education, benefiting nearly two million schoolchildren, 21.1% on tackling "poverty, hunger and vulnerability", 14.2% on humanitarian aid - such as flood assistance, 12.6% on reproductive, maternal and newborn health and the rest on global partnerships, governance and security (including elections), health and wealth creation.
In 2010, Mr Bloom, a former investment manager, was ejected from the European Parliament for directing a Nazi slogan at a German colleague.
And in 2011, he said small firms would have to be "stark staring mad" to hire young women because of the risk of them taking maternity leave at a later stage.

Stuart Hogg's long-range penalty put the hosts ahead before Finn Russell finished off heavy pressure to score.
Replacement Matt Scott touched down the second for a 15-0 lead, with Italy's Carlo Canna missing three penalties.
The Azzurri botched two scoring chances before further tries from Tim Visser and Tommy Seymour sealed a bonus point.
Four tries brought Scotland's tally for the championship to 14, surpassing their record, set last year, of 11 for a Six Nations campaign.
Despite their three victories, the Scots had to settle for a repeat of last year's fourth-place finish, on points difference, after victories for France against Wales, and Ireland over England.
This was a 12th Six Nations defeat in a row for Italy, who finished with the Wooden Spoon for a 12th time in 18 seasons.
In the Edinburgh rain, mistakes were inevitable but the opening half was an error and penalty-fest, a grind that Scotland slowly but surely took control of.
Italy were a creative desert, a line-out horror-show, a goal-kicking nightmare. They lost four of eight line-outs in the first 40 minutes and missed three out of three kicks at goal. Two of those were straightforward, but Canna made a hash of both.
Scotland were ahead with a booming Hogg penalty, but the hosts had serious problems of their own despite having the lead.
Referee Pascal Gauzere got on their case early and he kept pinging them all day long. The Scots conceded five penalties in the opening 20 minutes, seven in the first 40 and a stratospheric 12 by the early minutes of the second half.
Of course, they also had a healthy lead by then. The first came at the end of mountainous pressure, Ali Price eventually put Russell over in the corner. The downside was that they lost Huw Jones to injury in the creation of the score, Scott replacing him.
Unlike poor Canna, Russell's kick was good and Scotland were ahead 10-0. Canna missed a second sitter and, soon after, Scotland had a second try when Price chipped over the top close to the Italian line for Hogg to win the aerial dual against Giovanbattista Venditti and bat the ball back into Scott's path. The centre had the easiest job in dotting it down.
Scotland had battled their way into the lead with the knowledge that Italy's second-half performances have been a calamity in this Six Nations. Before this game they conceded 70% of their points in the second half and an average of 20 points in the last 20 minutes of the second half.
It was Italy who came back strong, though. They camped themselves in the Scottish 22, forced Hogg into making a try-saver on Angelo Esposito, then went again. They won penalty after penalty. John Barclay disappeared to the bin and they won more penalties after that.
When it looked like they were about to break through, Edoardo Padovani knocked on with the line at his mercy. It was painful stuff for the visitors. They were undone by Scotland's defence, yes, but mostly by their own lack of wit. Italy had a chronic lack of imagination and accuracy.
Just after the hour, Scotland got their third try when Hogg scampered up the left wing, chipped ahead and Visser got the touchdown. Russell's conversion made it 22-0. For them, it was all about the four-try bonus point now.

Scotland started to hit their stride and the crucial fourth try came after multiple phases drained the life out of the tiring Italians, Russell's lovely hands finding Hogg who put Seymour over. Once again Russell, kicking beautifully, was successful with the conversion.
Job done for Scotland. A third win in a championship that has seen them score more points (122) and more tries than they have ever done in the Six Nations. A decent farewell to Cotter, a man who has done so much to take the Scots from despair to hope.

Many people will be there to support him on Friday as he "takes the oath" and makes his inaugural speech - two traditions that happen on the day that a new president starts the job.
Members of the public will stand along the National Mall to watch him being made their new leader and there will also be VIP guests.
One group of people supporting the new president will be his close family.
But who are they? Newsround takes a look:
Melania Trump is Donald Trump's wife.
She was born in born in Slovenia and married Donald Trump in January 2005.
They have one child together called Barron (more on him later!).
In November 2016, it was reported that she won't move into the White House with her husband straight away, as she will stay in New York - where the Trumps currently live - with their son, while he finishes school there.
Barron Trump is Donald Trumps 10-year-old son. His mum is Melania.
He enjoys playing golf with his dad and can apparently speak Slovenian, which is his mum's first language.
He will carry on living in New York with his mum rather than move to the White House straight away, so he can finish the school year.
Ivanka is another of Donald Trump's daughters and perhaps the most well-known of his children.
She was a judge on her dad's reality TV show The Apprentice.
She will move to Washington like her father when he officially starts the job as president, as her husband has been named as one of his chief advisors.
Tiffany Trump, who is 23, is another one of Donald Trump's daughters.
Like her father, she likes to use social media a lot and has just finished a degree at the University of Pennsylvania.
Eric Trump is one of Donald Trump's sons.
He is an executive vice-president of the Trump Organization, which is the business empire that Donald Trump built up.
At the age of 23, he launched a big charity organisation that helps children who have life-threatening conditions.
Donald Trump Jr is Donald Trump's eldest son with his first wife called Ivana, who was Czech, so he grew up speaking Czech.
Now 39 years old, he is also executive vice-president of The Trump Organization.
Donald Trump has handed over management of the Trump Organization to Donald Jr and Eric, as he is not allowed to do this job at the same time as being president.
The £660,000 campaign, which ran during 2010, has now ended.
A total of 94 houses are occupied at Prior's Hall Park.
Daniel Polak, the development's commercial project manager, said 10 of them had been sold due to the North Londonshire campaign.
"Although 10 houses have been sold and that's a direct return on investment, the amount of awareness that was created by the campaign is unfathomable," he said.
Mr Polak said they were pleased with the overall interest in Northamptonshire raised by the campaign.
Prior's Hall Park, to the north-east of Corby, has planning permission for 5,100 houses. The developers anticipate that in 15 years it could have a population of 12,500.
On Saturday, a party was held to mark the first anniversary of the first residents moving in.
The North Londonshire marketing campaign was designed to attract more people from London to Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough and Rushden.
There are no statistics for how many people have moved to other parts of North Northamptonshire because of the campaign.
The campaign was originally meant to run for three years at a cost of £1.3m, but was reduced to one year because of the economic slowdown.
Some local people objected to the North Northamptonshire concept. A Facebook group was set up called "Northamptonshire is NOT North Londonshire".
The North Northants Development Company said the North Londonshire campaign was a success, producing media coverage which would have cost £300,000 to buy through advertising.
A man in his 30s died at at EIS Waste Services in the Nigg area of Aberdeen just before 14:30.
The Health and Safety Executive has been notified.
An investigation is also under way into a death at Thistle Seafoods in Harbour Street, Boddam, Aberdeenshire. Emergency Services were contacted at about 14:20 following an incident.
Finance Secretary Derek Mackay has been urged to hold talks with leaders of the political groups at the authority.
The Scottish government recently announced a 12.5% cap on rises for those in the hospitality sector in the north east, and office premises in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Businesses have expressed concern.
The Scottish government recently highlighted its relief package and said it was up to local authorities to address local issues.
Why are business rates causing concern?
Business rates - what do they pay?
Meanwhile, Aberdeenshire councillors agreed a new council business rates relief scheme aimed at supporting about 1,200 businesses.
Rateable values are changing for the first time since 2010 after a national revaluation by The Scottish Assessors' Association.
Businesses in the north east have complained that they are being hit particularly hard because the valuations predated the slump in the price of oil which has had an impact on the local economy.
Warner was the last of the three big record labels to agree to renewed terms to make its catalogue available to Spotify's 140 million users.
However, Spotify has been forced to agree to some limitations to get the labels to sign.
Artists and labels have in the past complained about minuscule revenue from steaming sites when compared to downloads or physical sales.
But with the deals with Sony, Universal and now Warner in place, Spotify is expected to float on the New York Stock Exchange as early as this year.
"Our partnership with Warner Music Group will help grow the new music economy where millions of artists can instantly connect with fans, and millions of fans can instantly connect with artists,” Spotify’s chief content officer Stefan Blom told the BBC.
Posting on Instagram, Warner Music chief digital officer Ole Obermann said: "It's taken us a while to get here, but it’s been worth it, as we've arrived at a balanced set of future-focused deal terms.
"Together with Spotify, we've found inventive ways to reinforce the value of music, create additional benefits for artists, and excite their fans all over the world. Even with the current pace of growth, there’s still so much potential for music subscription to reach new audiences and territories.”
The “inventive ways” were not outlined, but if Warner Music’s deal is similar to those agreed with Sony Music and Universal, it is likely to include a clause allowing the labels to hold back certain songs from Spotify’s non-paying users for a limited period of time. Such a move would increase the royalties for artists who are unhappy at the lower earnings generated by streaming services.
Speaking about the Universal deal agreed in April, Spotify founder and chief executive Daniel Ek explained that "artists can choose to release new albums on premium only for two weeks, offering subscribers an earlier chance to explore the complete creative work, while the singles are available across Spotify for all our listeners to enjoy”.
According to the latest public figures, Spotify has 60 million paying customers - just under half of its entire user total. Its nearest competitor, Apple Music, has 27 million subscribers.
Spotify has long been expected to float on the New York Stock Exchange, but was holding off until the major deals were struck to offer clarity to investors over future expenses.
Reports suggest Spotify will not have an initial public offering (IPO) when it does go public.
Almost all companies IPO when going public to raise money and offer shares to more investors, but Spotify is expected to simply list on the NYSE without a sale. That tactic which would mean an increase in share value for its existing, private investors.

MSPs were talking tax ahead of the government's draft budget on Thursday.
The Tories put forward a motion opposing the SNP's plans, which would not replicate a UK government tax cut for high earners.
Amendments from all parties, including one from Finance Secretary Derek Mackay were rejected in a series of votes, before the motion itself also fell.
As a minority government, the SNP would need to win support from at least one party to back its budget.
However, there was no consensus on show at Holyrood following the tax debate.
There will be a formal vote on the government's tax proposals prior to the final vote on the budget in February, so both the tax plans and the budget itself will need to win backing.
Mr Mackay will set out his first budget on Thursday, and is expected to use new powers to draw a distinction between the tax regimes in Scotland and the rest of the UK.
This is because the Scottish government does not plan to replicate a tax cut for higher earners proposed by the UK government, via the raising of the threshold for the higher rate.
While the UK government plans to up the threshold for the 40p tax rate to £45,000 and eventually £50,000, the SNP has pledged to raise it by no more than the rate of inflation. This means some Scots will pay more tax than those earning the same amount south of the border.
The Tories said this would "make Scotland the highest-taxed part of the UK" - and, citing a report from chartered accountancy firm Johnston Carmichael, warn it may force firms to top up salaries of high earners affected by the changes.
Finance spokesman Murdo Fraser said: "The reality of the SNP's tax grab is that firms may end up having to pay high quality staff a 'Scottish supplement' simply to persuade them to stay and work here.
"What kind of message does that send out?
"As Johnston Carmichael make clear, if these costs get too high, many firms will conclude that they're better off moving to a part of the UK that actually welcomes employers - not one that punishes them.
"It is utterly self-defeating. The SNP claim the high moral ground, yet if enacted their policies will only end up starving our schools and hospitals of the tax revenues they need to survive."
Mr Fraser's motion for the Holyrood debate read "that the parliament believes business and families in Scotland should not be taxed more than those elsewhere in the UK".
He said the SNP had "lurched to the left" under Nicola Sturgeon, and said the SNP "has 24 hours to think again".
Mr Mackay put forward an amendment, arguing that powers were devolved so they could be used.
The finance secretary said: "The purpose of the devolution of powers over income tax is to allow Scotland to make its own decisions on tax rates. Powers over personal and business taxation should be used in a fair and progressive way that supports a sustainable economy."
He told MSPs: "The Tories are showing their true colours today. Not the tax position, but their position on devolution in Scotland. They have revered to type - do as Westminster does.
"They have reverted to type - London-controlled, tax cuts for the rich, abandon universal services and talk Scotland down. If divergence on tax is coming, it's because we want a different way for Scotland, and I'll be proud to propose that budget tomorrow."
Other opposition parties lodged amendments promoting their own tax policies, with Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens all backing more radical schemes.
Labour's Kezia Dugdale said parliament should agree to a 50p top rate of tax for those earning over £150,000 a year, "so that the richest 1% pay their fair share to help stop the cuts and invest in public services".
She said Holyrood had "substantial powers" which meant it could make "different choices" to those made at Westminster, but said the Scottish government was guilty of just "tinkering around the edges".
Ms Dugdale said this meant any cuts to services resulting from Mr Mackay's budget would not be "trickling down" from the UK government, but would be "SNP cuts".
Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie also backed a tax increase, with his amendment reading: "Investing in skills is the best way to strengthen the economy, and calls for a modest penny on income tax for this purpose, raising £500 million to transform Scottish education."
He said Scottish education needed a "boost" in order to get back to being the best again, having been ranked "average" in recent international scores.
And Patrick Harvie from the Scottish Greens put forward an amendment saying "the SNP's manifesto proposals on tax make no significant changes to current income tax rates and thresholds", saying Holyrood should "support a tax system that will challenge inequalities in wealth and income".
He said it was "absurd" for the Tories to oppose there being different tax rates in Scotland and the rest of the UK, saying they were effectively arguing against the devolution of tax powers.
In the final votes, none of the amendments were passed, with Mr Mackay's falling by 61 votes to 60 before the others were all also defeated.
The motion itself was subsequently also rejected, by a vote of 92 to 29.
The Scottish government's pilot project has been designed to tackle "period poverty".
The move has been welcomed by anti-poverty campaigners, including Ewan Gunn, of The Trussell Trust.
He said there are women and girls in Scotland who use newspaper or toilet paper instead of tampons or towels because they cannot afford to buy them.
It follows a growing campaign demanding "dignity" for women whose budgets do not stretch to sanitary protection.
The pilot scheme will be led by Community Food Initiatives North East social enterprise and it has been launched by equalities secretary Angela Constance.
Mr Gunn told BBC Radio Scotland said period poverty was a "very real, very pertinent issue" in Scotland.
"For me personally, it really came into focus for me a few years ago when a young girl came into the food bank I used to run in Dundee.," he told the Good Morning Scotland programme.
"She refused feminine hygiene products purely on the basis that she hadn't had a period for a number of months due to malnutrition."
He said he would like to see universal provision of sanitary products for women and girls.
"It's something I would hope every woman and girl has access to," he added.
"We've taken evidence across the country of women who supplement that by the use of socks, they would use toilet paper and in some of the worst circumstances, I've come into contact with women who supplemented that by the use of newspaper.
"It's literally as grave as that."
He added: "Schools and colleges will provide condoms for something that you can abstain from, but you cannot abstain from having your period. We need to find a way that we can provide for this issue right now."
Equalities Secretary Ms Constance said: "It is unacceptable that any woman or girl in Scotland should be unable to access sanitary products. That is why, as part of our wider aims to eradicate poverty from our country, we are exploring how to make products freely available to low-income groups.
"The pilot in Aberdeen is a first step to help us understand the barriers women and girls face - and to help us develop a sensitive and dignified solution to making these products easily accessible to those who need them."
Labour MSP Monica Lennon, who has been campaigning on the issue, called for the government to go further.
She said: "I'm pleased the campaign I have started as an opposition MSP has pushed SNP ministers to act, but the reality is that women and girls urgently need national action now.
"A pilot scheme is a welcome step in the right direction, but we must go much further to help women and girls across the country who are facing a monthly struggle to access the products they need.
"After relentless austerity over the last few years from both the Tories and the SNP, there are too many women and girls in Scotland who are unable to afford essential sanitary products during menstruation due to poverty.
"We need to end period poverty and improve access to sanitary products right across Scotland and that's why I will soon be launching a consultation on a Member's Bill proposal which will give all women in Scotland the right to access these products for free, regardless of their income."
The company trademarked the word in Europe in a bid to protect its best-selling Candy Crush Saga game.
The move angered many game developers who have now joined together to mount a protest called Candy Jam.
This involves producing lots of different games that use the word "candy" in their title. So far, more than 100 games have been produced.
The Candy Jam webpage said the protest was in response to King.com's action to defend its trademark. King has told at least one independent gamemaker to stop using the word "candy" in the title for his game.
The Candy Jam page accused King.com of being a "bully" and said the issue had now become one of "freedom and creativity".
In a bid to annoy King.com, the Jam has encouraged developers to make and submit games that also use the word "saga" - which King.com is also keen to trademark. Developers have been given until 3 February to submit games using one or both words to the site.
At the time of writing 111 different games were being featured on the Candy Jam website. The titles of the games included Candy Fight Saga, Candy Growth, Candy Cruiser Planetary Rescue Saga and Super Candy Handy Mandy Saga.
King has yet to comment on the appearance of Candy Jam and the games its backers have created.
The Health and Safety Executive said it was clear Maersk had rescheduled the maintenance on "Gryphon A" without making an assessment of the risks.
The company was issued with an improvement notice.
Maersk said it was committed to continually improving its safety performance.
The inquiry is centred on the 2006 World Cup organising committee which includes former Germany captain Franz Beckenbauer, who has denied corruption.
It has now been broadened to include former senior Fifa official Urs Linsi.
German media reports say that a slush fund was set up to buy Fifa votes.
The inquiry centres on four people - including Mr Beckenbauer - who were part of the German bid.
Investigators have been especially concerned about a payment of about 10m Swiss Francs ($9.8m; £7.9m) to Fifa in 2005.
Fifa corruption crisis: Key questions answered
The Fifa corruption crisis explained
Why corruption scandal is sport's biggest ever
"The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) of Switzerland confirms that on 23 November 2016 it conducted house searches with the support of the Federal Office of Police [fedpol] at various locations in the German-speaking part of Switzerland," the OAG said in a statement.
The OAG began its investigation last year into allegations that four members of the 2006 World Cup organising committee were involved in fraud and money laundering.
On Wednesday prosecutors announced they were also investigating Mr Linsi, who served as Fifa's secretary general between 2002 and 2007.
The case first made the headlines in October 2015, when German news magazine Der Spiegel accused Germany of using the secret slush fund to buy Fifa votes in support of its bid to host the 2006 World Cup.
The money allegedly came from the late Robert Louis-Dreyfus, who in 2000 was head of German sportswear giant Adidas. It was allegedly provided at the request of Mr Beckenbauer, who led the committee seeking to secure Germany's right to host the event.
Mr Beckenbauer previously admitted to making errors in relation to the bid but has denied deliberate wrongdoing.
A separate report into alleged irregularities over awarding the World Cup to Germany in 2006 was published in March by the German Football Association.
It said that while there was no evidence of Germany paying Fifa members in return for votes, payments were made to at least one former Fifa official through a complicated network of bank accounts.
Air force officials said they were unable to fly helicopters to the temple town of Badrinath to bring down the 5,000 pilgrims still stuck there.
And police say the planned mass cremations in Kedarnath town have been postponed following heavy rains.
The floods have killed more than 600 people in Uttarakhand state.
State Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna said at the weekend that he feared at least 1,000 people had died. Officials say 97,000 people have been rescued so far.
Early monsoon rains in India this year are believed to be the heaviest in 80 years.
On Tuesday morning, rescue operations were delayed due to rain, but once the weather improved air force helicopters began preparing for sorties to Badrinath - the last of the areas where thousands of pilgrims are still stranded in the mountains.
In pictures: India floods rescue
But later in the day, air force officials told the BBC that heavy rains in Badrinath had prevented helicopters from landing, forcing them to abandon rescue operations.
Air force officials say they need to get to the affected areas urgently as time is running out for survivors.
"I just need two to three days of good weather and I can get everyone out," Air Commodore Rajesh Issar, who heads Operation Rahat (Relief), said.
Meanwhile, senior police official Sanjay Gunjiyal, who is in-charge of the mass cremations in Kedarnath, told the BBC that it had been raining heavily since the morning and the cremations were unlikely to happen on Tuesday.
Police say lots of bodies are piled up around the temple in Kedarnath and many of them have begun decomposing, the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder reports from Dehradun.
Many of them remain unidentified so they are being photographed and DNA samples are being taken and preserved for the families of those still missing, our correspondent adds.
On Sunday, officials said the severely damaged Kedarnath town had been cleared of survivors and teams were searching for the bodies of victims.
Tourists and pilgrims were among those caught up in the floods, which washed away homes, roads and bridges.
So extensive is the damage that even a week after the devastating floods and landslides, there is still no clarity on the true number of people missing or dead.
Thousands of army, paramilitary and disaster management officials have been working for the past week to help those trapped in remote villages and settlements, but rescue operations have been hampered by rain and poor weather.
On average, the air force has been operating 115 flights a day and Air Commodore Issar has described it as "the single biggest rescue operation involving helicopters anywhere in the world".
On Monday morning, helicopters carrying special forces to find survivors were forced to turn back because of bad weather.
Meanwhile, hundreds of relatives continue to camp in Dehradun, looking for missing family members and friends.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the situation as "distressing" and announced a 10bn rupee ($170m; £127m) aid package for Uttarakhand.
The rainy season generally lasts from June to September, bringing rain which is critical to farming.
Australians Marc Leishman and Adam Scott will not attend because of the infection, which is linked to brain deformities in newborn babies.
However, Rory McIlroy's fears have eased and US Open champion Spieth, 22, said he was "pretty confident" over information received from the PGA Tour.
"Being an Olympian is a tremendous honour," the Texan said.
"Do I think being an Olympian outweighs any significant health threat? No. If I thought that the threat was significant, I certainly would not go," added Spieth, who will defend his US Open title at Oakmont this week.
"But based on what's come to my knowledge at this point, it seems like it's going to be an extremely memorable experience and I look forward to trying to win a gold for the United States."
Their tricks have gone far beyond the infamous fax from a "Nigerian prince" you've never heard of asking you for money.
Now frauds are increasingly sophisticated and you are much more likely to hear from someone you trust.
Fraudsters dupe their victims using a type of psychological manipulation known as "social engineering".
It is essentially a confidence trick that influences a person to take action that may not be in their best interest.
With many technical security defences in place to prevent banks and companies from being hacked directly, it is we humans that represent the weak spot that criminals seek to target.
To explain how they do this, security expert and self-professed 'Human Hacker' Chris Hadnagy uses the psychology behind the parent-child relationship.
"Children are little people that get us to do things we'd never thought we would ever do," he says, and the same psychological principles can be applied to the scammer.
They build rapport, get us to like them, trust them, and often inject a sense of urgency into the scenario, he says: "This all releases certain chemicals in our brain that allow us to take an action we perhaps shouldn't take."
Social engineering fraud has been identified by the international police agency Interpol as one of the world's emerging fraud trends.
In the last two years there has been a spike in this type of fraud, with reported losses in 2015 doubling to nearly $1bn (£675m) - though, by comparison, global credit card fraud was $16bn last year.
It's a lucrative crime.
You don't need a skilled programmer to do social engineering - just someone who's willing to talk to people or write emails.
On top of this, the growth of the internet has played right into the criminals' hands. A key part of social engineering is having information on your target.
Criminals can get this from buying hacked company data and studying their victim's social media profile online.
In June last year Emma Watson, a British businesswoman who was setting up a children's nursery, got a phone call from her bank's fraud team.
They told her that they had stopped some unusual transactions on her account, but because it had been compromised she had to transfer her money into some other accounts they had set up in her name.
"They were completely professional, it was a clear line, they knew my name, they called me on my landline, they used all the language," she says.
"They were very reassuring, saying 'I know this is a distressing time for you and I'm going to help you'."
In fact it wasn't her bank calling at all, but criminals fraudulently posing as her bank's fraud team.
Emma ended up transferring £100,000 into the fraudsters' accounts online. Only a fraction of it has so far been traced and returned.
This type of fraud is called "vishing" where criminals persuade victims to hand over personal details or transfer money, over the telephone. They have a number of techniques at their disposal.
Chris Hadnagy has this advice.
"Don't ever give personal information like banking or credit cards over the phone to someone who has called you.
"If you get a call, hang up, and ring the number on the back of your credit card using a different phone from the one they called you on."
Phishing emails have risen in number and have got a lot more sophisticated.
Jessica Barker, an independent cyber security consultant, explains how they work.
"They play on your trust and they use a front, whether it's a bank, a friend's name, or someone you expect communications from, and they put urgency on you to try and worry victims into responding."
Chris Hadnagy says he was phished only recently, when preparing for a conference in Las Vegas.
"I had 30 things on order from Amazon being shipped out to this hotel in Vegas.
"The week I'm leaving the office is a wreck, I'm packing boxes, running back and forth, and I get this email that just says 'one of your recent orders will not be shipped due to a declined credit card'."
The email looked convincingly like one from Amazon. Chris clicked the link and it opened up what looked like a real Amazon log-in page.
He started logging on until he looked up and saw the address in his browser was from a Russian website.
"It wasn't Amazon.com, and I go 'woah, I just got phished'. The email was for two things I'd never ordered. It's a lesson I tell people, if you hit the right emotional triggers at the right time, anyone can be a victim of phishing."
Phishing emails can look very convincing, copying branding and 'spoofing' email addresses to make them look genuine. Jessica Barker offers this advice for spotting the scam.
"Smishing" is SMS phishing where text messages are sent trying to encourage people to pay money out or click on suspicious links.
Sometimes attackers try to get victims on the phone by sending a text message asking them to call a number, in order to persuade them further.
Unsolicited text messages from unknown numbers should raise alarm bells, but often banks do text their customers for a variety of reasons.
In that case, you should call the bank using a number from a bank statement or a verified source, not a text message.

David Richards lit up the tree in Canberra, with a grand total of 518,838 twinkling lights.
The 22-metre tall tree was topped with a large star filled with 12,000 glowing bulbs.
Mr. Richards broke the record that had been held for five years by Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan.
The first minister is in Iceland to address the Arctic Circle Assembly on the topic of climate change.
She also announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding between VisitScotland and the Icelandic Tourist Board to share information.
Other speakers at the event include UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
About 2,000 delegates from 50 countries were expected to attend the conference in Reykjavik, which is concerned with the development and protection of the Arctic region.
The agreement between the Scottish and the Icelandic tourism boards will see them share information and advice on areas such as quality development and sustainability.
Ms Sturgeon said: "Scotland and Iceland are world-renowned tourist destinations and we share a common interest in developing a sustainable tourism sector that continues to excite and attract visitors.
"New direct air routes between our two nations started earlier this year, so it's a fitting time for VisitScotland and the Icelandic Tourist Board to deepen their collaboration, learn more from each other and enhance the tourist experience in both of our countries in the coming years."
The agreement will lead to collaboration on tourism development, boosting film tourism and making the best of digital markets.
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said: "Both Scotland and Iceland are small countries that punch well above their weight on the global stage.
"Tourism is a key driver of the economies in Scotland and Iceland, with the industry providing a lifeline for our nations during difficult times. VisitScotland and the Icelandic Tourist Board have built a strong and mutually beneficial relationship over the past three years and it's exciting to take this to the next level with the signing of this agreement."
Ólöf Ýrr Atladóttir, chief executive of the Icelandic Tourist Board, said: "Icelandic tourism has been going through enormous growth in the past years.
"Such growth inevitably brings with it new challenges that need to be addressed. Scottish tourism and VisitScotland have a multitude of experiences that we at the Icelandic Tourist Board have been able to learn from and we believe that the signing of this agreement will benefit both countries in years to come."
Ms Sturgeon was invited to the Arctic Circle Assembly by former President of Iceland Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson following the Paris Climate Change talks in 2015, and will take part in a full day of meetings and engagements.
The first minister said climate change was "one of the biggest challenges the world faces".
She announced £1m of funding to support developing countries track and measure the impact of climate change.
She told delegates: "We know the most damaging effects of climate change are in developing nations and fall disproportionately on the very young, the very old and the very poor.
"That's why Scotland was the first national government in the world to establish a Climate Justice Fund, which now supports 11 projects in some of the world's poorest communities in four sub-Saharan African countries."
Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski announced that he had "ordered all work to be stopped".
"We will decide on further developments following consultations with Brussels," he said after meeting with US senators.
The Gazprom-financed pipeline would ship gas to western Europe via the Balkans, thus avoiding Ukraine.
The European Commission had sent Bulgarian authorities a letter at the start of the month, asking them to suspend work on the project.
The EC claimed Bulgaria may have broken EU public procurement laws by choosing local and Russian bidders.
Bulgaria has previously said it is being targeted by Brussels as a means of retaliating against Russia over the situation in Ukraine.
If built, the pipeline would deliver 63 billion cubic metres of natural gas a year, via Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Slovenia before entering Italy.
Construction work on the pipeline began in Bulgaria in October 2013.
He was arrested last Thursday, accused of "disobeying lawful orders", because the play The River and the Mountain was performed without authorisation.
Mr Cecil faces two years in jail if convicted.
The Ugandan parliament is considering legislation aimed at increasing penalties for homosexual acts.
The play, which tells the story of a gay businessman killed by his own employees, was performed at two theatres in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, last month.
Uganda's Daily Monitor newspaper reports that the Media Council had warned the play's backers not to perform it until it had been approved.
Mr Cecil was freed on bail of 500,000 shillings ($200; £124). He was ordered to surrender his passport and must report back to court on 18 October.
His lawyer John Francis Onyango told the AFP news agency that his client was in good health.
Homosexual acts are illegal in Uganda and gay people have faced physical attacks and social rejection.
An anti-gay bill imposing life sentences on those convicted of homosexual acts was re-tabled in parliament earlier this year.
It was first introduced in 2009 but never debated - and the MP backing the legislation says a clause proposing the death penalty will be dropped.
Last week the Information Rights Tribunal rejected the government appeal, in a strongly worded judgment which described the Cabinet Office's approach as "irresponsible", its key witness as "evasive and disingenuous", and her evidence as "of no value whatsoever".
The long-running freedom-of-information dispute focuses on the Reducing Regulation Committee (RRC), a cabinet sub-committee set up in July 2010 to oversee regulatory reform and the drive to scrap unnecessary bureaucratic "red tape". Many important ministerial decisions are taken through the cabinet committee system.
The case stems from a BBC FOI request made over three years ago in August 2012, asking how many times this committee had met. The Cabinet Office refused to say, on the grounds that doing so would undermine collective responsibility and expose ministers to the pressure of public opinion on whether the frequency of meetings was adequate.
The term "pollutant of publicity" was deployed at the tribunal by the government's lawyer, James Eadie QC, who as First Treasury Counsel or "Treasury Devil" is the barrister picked to fight the government's most important cases.
The tribunal dismissed his argument, saying it could see no evidence of a "pollutant" effect likely to distort the actions of ministers. But it reserved its most forceful language for the Cabinet Office's main witness.
The Cabinet Office put forward one of its senior officials, Helen MacNamara, director of the Economic and Domestic Affairs Secretariat. She maintained that ministers would change their behaviour if the frequency of cabinet committee meetings became public.
She also argued "the information is more likely to mislead than inform" and that there was already enough material publicly available on the work of the RRC.
However, the tribunal clearly did not find her a persuasive witness.
She refused to say what discussions, if any, she had had about this with ministers, and the tribunal judgment accuses her of being "evasive and disingenuous on the issues she purported to have considered".
On another part of her testimony the tribunal says it is "incredulous" that she was "offering this evidence if she does not know the relevance of it". At a further point it states she "yet again failed to support this assertion with any tangible evidence".
It concluded that her evidence was "fundamentally flawed and of no value whatsoever to us" on the central issue of the case.
The tribunal also describes the Cabinet Office as "irresponsible" in expecting Ms MacNamara's evidence to count as support for the proposition that disclosing the number of RRC meetings would cause harm. It concluded that the Cabinet Office case was "materially flawed" and "unpersuasive".
The tribunal argued that "we find it hard to accept or believe that hard bitten, street-wise, fighting politicos would scurry about trying to fill a mental quota of meetings simply because this release had taken place."
It therefore dismissed the government's position that "the figure is too sensitive to be released".
In doing so it upheld the earlier finding of the Information Commissioner, who ruled in May 2013 that it was in the public interest to reveal the frequency of RRC meetings. The commissioner said it would help public understanding of the committee's work.
The case has taken over three years since the BBC's initial FOI request because it has passed through an extensive and convoluted series of legal stages. After the Information Commissioner decided the figure should be released, the government appealed to the tribunal for the first time which backed the commissioner.
The Cabinet Office then took the case on some issues of legal procedure to the Upper Tribunal, bringing in its top litigator, the Treasury Devil, Mr Eadie. This was regarded within legal circles as a sign of the importance that the government attached to the dispute.
The government won its Upper Tribunal hearing on a procedural point, with the result that the case then had to be considered again by the lower tier of the tribunal, leading to the judgment issued last week.
A Cabinet Office spokesperson said: "We are disappointed with this judgment and are considering next steps, including appealing".
As it happens it is known that the RRC met at least once, since its initial meeting in July 2010 was actually proclaimed in a government press release at the time.
The future of FOI policy is currently being considered by a government-appointed commission. In its call for evidence, the commission raised the idea that all material relating to ministerial communications and policy formulation might be made absolutely exempt from FOI.
If such a change came into force, it would mean that the government could reject future FOI requests for how often cabinet committees meet, without any possibility that it could be overruled by the Information Commissioner or the tribunal.
Prince William, who opened Child Bereavement UK's Stratford centre in east London in 2015, has been the charity's royal patron since 2009.
The charity supports parents who have lost children as well as helping children who are bereaved.
William and Kate were introduced to staff and volunteers, before meeting families who have used the service.
The duke made a rare public admission about his feelings following the death of his mother, Princess Diana, telling a grieving boy he was "very angry" when she died.
The duke was a teenager and his brother, Prince Harry, 12 when their mother was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997.
He spoke openly during his visit to the centre, where he and Kate sat down with families and made memory jars in honour of loved ones who had died.
As Lorna Ireland, 36, and her son Shinobi Irons, 12, each filled their individual jars with bands of coloured salt - representing memories of the boy's grandmother who died three years ago and godmother who died in 2015 - the future king spoke about his feelings.
Miss Ireland said: "He told my son that when his mum died he was 15 at the time and he was very angry and found it very difficult to talk about it.
"So it was very important that Shinobi talked to somebody about how he was feeling even now years on."
Ann Chalmers, Child Bereavement's chief executive, said she was "honoured" to have the duke and duchess visit the centre.
The charity was set up in 1994, and Princess Diana attended its launch.
One of the charity's supporters, actor Jason Watkins, spoke to BBC Breakfast on Wednesday about the loss of his two-year-old daughter in 2011.
Maude became ill with a cough and a cold and was treated with steroids by a GP. She died from sepsis.
Mr Watkins said: "We put her to bed, did all the things we were told to do by the medical professionals.
"My older daughter had been trying to play with her in the bedroom... and I went in to see if she was alright and she had clearly died."
He told the programme it was an "awful, traumatic, hysterical and terribly painful event" for all of the family.
"You never get out of bed, you spend days in bed, you can't get out.
"It's like people who have had an operation you feel completely obliterated and have no energy. You feel like you're trying to get out of a dark pit that you can't get out of.
"Your heart aches...you feel your heart is broken."
But "that acute phase of trauma, it does pass and you do come through that," he said.
His eldest daughter, Bessie, is nine years old, and wrote in her diary:
"When Maude died I was three, I didn't know what death was. I was in shock for a long time that I would never see her again.
"Maudey will never come back but she will always be in our hearts."
The 42-year-old was appointed acting head coach after predecessor Ashley Giles' move back to Warwickshire was announced in December.
Chapple spent the majority of the 2014 season as player-coach when Peter Moores left to take charge of England, and was first-team coach under Giles.
Former team-mate Mark Chilton, 40, has been named assistant head coach.
"Mark and I are committed to delivering a team that the whole club, the members, the supporters and the county of Lancashire can be proud of," Chapple said.
"We have an incredibly talented and young group of players, and we are hugely excited about the coming season and few years ahead, and what we believe we can achieve."
Former all-rounder Chapple has been with the Old Trafford club since the age of 18 and took 1,373 wickets and scored 11,088 runs in all formats during his playing career.
The highlight of his captaincy came in 2011, when he led the team to their first outright County Championship title in 77 years.
Lancashire begin the 2017 season with a match against Cambridge University before starting their opening Division One Championship game at Essex on 7 April.
Opposition parties have condemned the decision as a "declaration of war".
Previous addresses by Mr Zuma have been marred by protests and brawls as opposition MPs demanded his resignation.
Mr Zuma has been dogged by corruption allegations for more than a decade.
A statement from the president's office released on Tuesday said Mr Zuma had authorised the deployment of soldiers to work with the police.
It is the first time that troops will have a security rather than a ceremonial role.
According to reports quoted in a local media, intelligence sources have warned there could be massive uprisings at tomorrow's event. Their alerts prompted fears that the police would not be able to cope on their own.
Past state of the nation speeches have been marred by chaos in parliament.
Since winning seats in 2014, members of the Economic Freedom Fighters' party (EFF) have caused disruption by chanting and jeering at the president over allegations of corruption.
In 2015, EFF members were removed from the chamber by security guards disguised as waiters.
But the main opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) has condemned the president's decision, describing the move as "deeply concerning".
"President Zuma's deliberate use of the words 'law and order' in his statement points to an excessive use of the army outside of their ceremonial role in the annual fanfare," a statement for the DA said.
Hundreds of people from South African civil rights groups have gathered in Cape Town's St George's Cathedral under the Save South Africa campaign, in what they call the "real State of The Nation" ahead of President Jacob Zuma's address on Thursday.
Many speakers took to the podium to condemn President Zuma's style of leadership.
The campaign's leader Sipho Pityana, an anti-apartheid activist and an African National Congress member, told the meeting that the speaker of parliament must not address President Zuma as "honourable".
He said of Mr Zuma: "You must know that as a nation we no longer have confidence in you as a president."
"You have used every opportunity to bring shame to a glorious movement, the African National Congress," he said.
The EFF called the announcement a "declaration of war" on the country's citizens.
"The military are people who get deployed for war and whose training is about killing the enemies of the state," spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said.
The party has continually denounced Mr Zuma as an "illegitimate" ruler who should step down.
There have been accusations of undue influence on the government by a wealthy Indian-born business family and of violations of the constitution.
An investigation carried out last year by the former Public Protector of South Africa found evidence of possible corruption at the top level of government.
The country's highest court ruled last March that President Zuma had violated the constitution when he failed to repay government money spent on his private home in Nkandla.
Mr Zuma has repeatedly denied any malpractice.
His presidential term is due to end in 2019.
But the governing African National Congress is due to elect a new leader in December, at which point he may also step down as national leader.
Sampaoli, 57, has taken over as coach of his home country after leaving Spanish club Sevilla after one season.
Barcelona forward Messi, 29, announced his retirement from international football in June 2016 before reversing his decision two months later.
"I spoke with Leo and we're both excited," said Sampaoli.
"It's a boost for us to see how excited he is with this new stage [for Argentina]."
Messi has scored 58 goals in 117 appearances for Argentina yet the 1978 and 1986 world champions currently sit outside an automatic qualifying spot for next year's World Cup in Russia after six wins in 14 qualifying games.
Their last four qualifiers are against Uruguay (away) on 31 August, Venezuela (home) on 5 September, Peru (home) on 5 October and Ecuador (away) on 10 October.
"The South American qualifiers are very complicated. There are some very good teams trying to do the same thing as us," added Sampaoli, who has signed a deal until the 2022 World Cup.
Argentina sacked Edgardo Bauza in April after eight matches as coach.
A dramatic 2-2 draw at Hampden left Scotland fourth in Group F, with unbeaten England leading the way.
"Ultimately it could be the point that sees us into second spot," said McGhee.
"I think we have to win the remaining games to be sure of that, but that point could be very, very important."
Scotland are four points behind second-placed Slovakia and three adrift of Slovenia.
With games away to Lithuania and at home to Malta to come at the start of September, while Slovakia and Slovenia meet each other next and both have to visit England, McGhee reckons Scotland's chances of reaching Russia in 2018 could take a significant upturn by the autumn.
"At the moment we're still getting over those last couple of minutes (against England)," said McGhee.
"We're still questioning ourselves - was there anything that we could have done in the time between us scoring and them equalising to avoid it? You examine yourself before you start looking anywhere else. I think because of the importance of it, we're still in that stage.
"Now we need England now to go and beat everyone and of course we need to do the job ourselves."
Scotland's final two games of the campaign are at home to Slovakia and away to Slovenia in October.
"The first two games (against Lithuania and Malta) would be the first two you'd choose to play," McGhee said. "Those are two that we absolutely should and must win.
"I think the confidence we could gain going into the last two games, given we would have another six points in the bag, and somewhere along the line something would have changed with regards to Slovakia's and Slovenia's results, if we can get six points then it will look an awful lot different.
"The first thing we have to deal with is Lithuania and Malta and, if we can deal with Lithuania first, Malta at home is a game we would have no excuse not to win, so that would set us up nicely for the other two.
"We haven't done anything yet - in fact we're almost out of it - so we've got to claw ourselves back into it, but we do have the opportunity and I believe we have the ability to do that."
McGhee's own situation could be different come September as he plots a return to club management, having been sacked by Motherwell in February.
The 60-year-old revealed he had had a meeting over the weekend regarding a job offer with a foreign club.
"I'll take a little bit of time to consider it," he said. "It wouldn't affect my position in the Scotland team. I do have options and I do intend when the right thing comes along to go back in."
Francis Monaghan intended to strike a man in Liquid Nightclub with the bottle but it hit Debbie Strachan in the face instead and smashed.
Monaghan was ordered to complete 255 hours of unpaid work.
Ms Strachan said the community sentence meant the 27-year-old had been allowed to walk away "scot-free".
Monaghan, from Stirling, was also told to pay Ms Strachan £750 compensation.
A sheriff told him if he had been found guilty of assault, rather than the charge of culpable and reckless conduct which was accepted by prosecutors, he would have been jailed for two years.
Ms Strachan, who is also from Stirling, said: "I feel really disappointed they didn't make an example of him.
"I thought it would have been a lot worse than that - £750 to be paid to me is nothing.
"I think it's an absolute joke."
Monaghan, of Ochil Crescent, Stirling, admitted a charge of culpable and reckless conduct committed on 29 March last year at Liquid Nightclub, Dundee.
Ms Strachan has started an online petition to have glass items banned from nightclubs, following the incident.
She said: "He has just walked away scot-free.
"If he went to prison he would have learned some sort of lesson."
Ms Strachan said she still struggled to come to terms with her injuries.
She said: "I have to look in the mirror every day. I have to look at the scars every day.
"It's not just the physical side of things, it's the mental side too."
At a time when the spread of surveillance tech is stoking controversy, I decided to install an app-controlled internet camera in my flat.
The gadget allowed me to look and listen in to my fiancee and pet cat's living-room activities at any time, and would send me an alert if it detected movement or noise I might be interested in.
A night-vision mode meant the dark offered no respite, and just in case I missed anything there was also the opportunity to review and download a time-lapse clip of recent events.
Paula, my partner, was rather nonplussed by the development.
"It's the devil's work," she declared on being introduced to the kit.
"I don't like this, I feel like I'm on Big Brother. I can't pick my nose anymore."
Explaining the experiment to others also raised issues.
My brother asked if we were indulging in some twisted PornHub fantasy, and even my tech-savvy work colleagues struggled to see the appeal.
But I was curious: would getting increased access to Paula and Miggy's private lives over a two-week period make us closer, or just prove a creep-out?
Things did not get off to an auspicious start.
The unit I was testing - the Withings Home - is deliberately designed to blend in, meaning it is easy to forget it is there.
This almost caused a prenuptial catastrophe.
On the first morning of our experiment, I was woken by a notification that prompted me to watch a brief video of an activity the camera had just captured.
It showed Paula unpacking her wedding dress for a quick twirl while she thought I was still dozing.
Luck alone meant the clip cut out before the bridal gown swung into full view.
After revealing this, my Brazilian partner became hugely self-conscious of the lounge-based "intruder". Over the course of the rest of the weekend, she made and received calls to her family in other rooms of the flat even though I do not speak Portuguese, so would not benefit from listening in.
What surprised me was how briefly this transition period lasted before her behaviour returned to normal.
A few ground rules probably helped.
Top of the list: no lurking in a remote location without revealing that I was connected.
This was relatively easy to achieve because I could talk through the camera's on-board speaker via an associated tablet and smartphone app to flag my presence.
It also helped that it soon became clear the main attraction, for both Paula and me, was watching our housebound pet - both via a high-definition live stream and a compressed recap of his activities at the end of the day.
Logging in for feline feeds, it turns out, is not only addictive but feels substantially less shameful than doing the same to a human.
But that is not to say it was a guilt-free experience.
In my imagination, during our long hours away from home, Miggy would stroll round the flat, play with his toys, scratch his post and generally engage in an elaborate domestic exercise programme.
What we discovered was that after staring at the window for a few minutes to see if we would return, he would slump on to the sofa and remain there for 15 hours or more.
As a result I now make more of a fuss of him when we are in.
But the discovery that he lets out three short, sharp, cute mews when he hears us at the front door hardly makes up for the fact I am now struck by pangs of conscience every time I go out.
There were benefits to the system.
Discovering that Paula had held up an "I love you" sign to the camera while I was at the gym was particularly heart-warming.
The camera also proved useful when we went away for a long weekend and could see that our neighbours had repeatedly popped in to keep Miggy company, although in retrospect we should have warned them of the gadget's existence in advance.
But there was more than a modicum of relief when I unplugged the camera and put it away for the last time.
The Home, and competing devices including Google's Dropcam, Netatmo's Welcome and Xiaomi's Yi Smart, are marketed as ways to help parents keep an eye on their children, and families as a whole capture memories that would otherwise be lost.
The companies also suggest that owning such kit acts as a deterrent to thieves whose images would be stored online, even if they took the cameras as part of their haul.
When I quizzed Withings' brand manager Lucie Broto about her product, she suggested that even pets could benefit. She suggested speaking to my cat while I was out to entertain him.
I suspect my disembodied voice would be more likely to freak him out.
More telling was her revelation, when pressed, that her boyfriend often turns their copy of the Home to face the wall or even unplugs it when he is at home alone in their Paris apartment.
After a fortnight of being put under the internet's equivalent of the microscope, the last word deservedly goes to Paula: "These things need to have a purpose. For security you could set up an alarm at the door.
"It seems to me they're more about having control over other people in the house.
"One of the ads they use shows a little kid holding up a drawing to the camera, but in reality it will be about the parents checking when their children came home and if they did their homework. Or jealous boyfriends checking what their other half is doing.

From May, all employers with wage bills over £3m a year must pay 0.5% of that into the new apprenticeship levy.
But council schools below that threshold must still pay as they come under the overall local authority wage bill, while small academies are exempt.
The LGA wants the rules changed to put all schools on an equal footing.
Ministers say local authorities, rather than the schools themselves, will be responsible for paying the levy.
But the LGA says advice agreed with the government is that schools should adjust their spending plans for next year to account for the extra cost of the levy.
The LGA says the levy will unfairly hit the finances of about 9,000 small community schools, usually primaries, with a total of 2.8 million pupils.
This is because where a school is maintained by the council, its staff are employed by the local authority, and those staff contribute to the overall wage bill of the council rather than being counted separately.
This means that the apprenticeship levy is applied to them, and will need to be accounted for in school budgets from April 2017, according to the LGA.
But free standing academies, where the academy trust is the employer, will be exempt.
The same is true of some faith and foundation schools, where the governing body is the employer.
"It is discriminatory," said Richard Watts, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board.
"It is no secret that many schools are struggling with their funding, yet once again, council-maintained schools are being dealt a poor hand compared to academies."
"Clearly what really matters is making sure that all children get the education they deserve, regardless of school structures, so applying initiatives like the levy equally across all schools is only right.
"The government therefore needs to urgently revise the apprenticeship levy to make sure that all schools are on an equal footing."
The National Association of Head Teachers warned that while 0.5% might not sound like much, "it comes in the context of school budgets being at breaking point already".
"It's another example of government policies hurting schools," said NAHT Head of Policy Valentine Mulholland.
"We would definitely support the LGA's call for small local authority schools to be treated in the same way as stand-alone academies."
Once the levy is paid, employers will be able to access funding for apprenticeships, but Ms Mulholland said smaller schools would struggle to do this.
"There are hardly any apprenticeships that are suitable for schools," she said.
Ms Mulholland said large secondaries could develop master's level apprenticeships to help staff teach outside their main subject areas or move into leadership.
But smaller schools, which are often primaries, lacked the flexibility and the resources to be able to do this, she said, so the levy would become "just another tax".
Apprenticeship and Skills Minister Robert Halfon said: "We expect these schools to have full access to funding for apprenticeship training and will support all employers, including schools and local authorities, in using levy funds to invest in quality apprenticeships," said Apprenticeship and Skills Minister Robert Halfon.
The force said most victims trafficked into the area were from eastern Europe.
Romanian children as young as nine are being lured into the sex industry by traffickers with the hope of earning lots of money.
The Romanian officers are expected to join GMP by the end of this year to help break the language barrier and "reassure" victims.
Det Ch Supt Russ Jackson, head of GMP's modern slavery unit, said: "The idea is that, when we go on things like harm reduction visits to brothels or car washes, we have Romanian police officers that work with us, work hand in glove.
"We've found that's really effective in understanding the language but also the cultural differences, and it reassures victims and allows us to get to the bottom of what's going on - whether good or bad - very, very quickly."
Responding to criticism that Romania had not done enough to combat trafficking, Adrian Petrescu, director of the country's National Anti-Trafficking Agency, said: "In 2001, when we had the anti-trafficking law issued, we had one person convicted of trafficking. Now we have an average of 300 people finally convicted of trafficking.
He added: "We have a system in place that is comparable to any system around the world, sometimes better. It can be improved but what is important is that it is working."
The manager of a Romanian shelter for human trafficking victims said girls were being lured to the UK by gangs promising them work as strip dancers.
Iana Matei said: "Mainly the girls come from the former orphanages... They're easily recruited because they don't have anyone. Some of them come from dysfunctional families and are exploited by their own family."
Following research interviews in one of the country's deprived communities, she said her charity Reaching Out Romania found: "All the boys, beginning with eight years of age, in that community said that they wanted to be traffickers when they grow up.
"All the girls in that community said they wanted to be the trafficker's mistress. We were shocked and asked why do you want to be - this is illegal, this is a crime - and they were laughing and said: 'No, big money, no risk'."
She added: "The story [told by traffickers] is, if you come, you'll earn a lot of money - no one touches you, you don't have to have sex, you just strip, dance and make a lot of money.
"But then, as soon as they are there, then the story changes and they are forced [into prostitution] and threatened and then they will do it. "
Victims at the shelter ranged from the ages of 12 to 18, she said, and included one who was sold at the age of nine.
The Romanian collaboration with GMP follows similar work with police in London and the east Midlands.
She said she had given that message to US President Barack Obama when they spoke on Wednesday.
Speaking after the first day of an EU summit in Brussels, Mrs Merkel said France and Germany wanted to hold talks with the US to settle the matter.
Other EU leaders also voiced concern about the scale of US surveillance.
The spying row threatens to overshadow EU talks on economic growth and migration to the EU. Mrs Merkel has demanded a "complete explanation" of the claims, which came out in the German media.

The allegation that the US National Security Agency eavesdropped on the personal phone of a closely allied Western leader, if true, is unwelcome news but hardly surprising.
It has already been revealed that the NSA has been bugging closed discussions inside both the United Nations and the European Union.
The US has many shared interests with European nations like Germany - counter-terrorism being one of them. But when it comes to economic intelligence, their interests can often diverge into outright competition.
The US, UK, Russia, China and many other nations all go to great lengths to acquire inside information on other countries covertly - that's what spies do.
One former insider says that, in the course of targeting other individuals, the NSA may well have eavesdropped on David Cameron's phone calls. The UK-US special relationship, he said, is not enshrined in law.
She grew up in former communist East Germany, where secret police surveillance was pervasive.
Earlier on Thursday, her delegation in Brussels confirmed she had met briefly to discuss the issue with France's President Francois Hollande, who has expressed alarm at reports that millions of French calls have been monitored by the US.
There is concern that the furore could jeopardise EU-US talks on reaching a major free trade deal. The head of Germany's Social Democrats (SPD), Sigmar Gabriel, said such a deal was hard to imagine if the US had infringed citizens' privacy. The SPD is in coalition talks with Chancellor Merkel.
In a separate development, Italy's weekly L'Espresso reported that the US and UK had been spying on Italian internet and phone traffic.
The revelations were sourced to US whistleblower Edward Snowden. It is alleged that the US National Security Agency (NSA) and UK spy centre GCHQ eavesdropped on three undersea cables with terminals in Italy.
Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta described the allegations as "inconceivable and unacceptable" and said he wanted to get to the truth of them.
Meanwhile, the Guardian newspaper reported that the NSA had monitored the phones of 35 world leaders after being given their numbers by another US government official. Again Edward Snowden was the source of the report.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the alleged spying on Mrs Merkel's mobile phone calls was "serious" and added: "I will support her (Merkel) completely in her complaint and say that this is not acceptable - I think we need all the facts on the table first."
Finland's Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen echoed him, saying: "We have to get clarification of what has happened and we also need a guarantee that this will never happen again, if it has happened."

Germany summoned the US ambassador in Berlin over the alleged spying.
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said about his meeting with US envoy John Emerson that he had demanded straight answers from Washington, warning that their friendship is at stake.
Mrs Merkel discussed the issue with President Obama on Wednesday. He told her the US was not monitoring her calls and would not in future, the White House said.
However, it left open the question of whether calls had been listened to in the past.
Former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright said the spying allegations were "not a surprise to people - countries spy on each other", and added that France had spied on her when she was in government.
The formal agenda for the summit focuses on efforts to consolidate Europe's fragile economic recovery and to create a single market in digital services.
British Prime Minister David Cameron will also call on the EU to reduce regulations for business.
But France's President Hollande pressed for the spying issue to be put on the agenda.
How easy is it to listen to mobile calls?
The veteran French EU Commissioner Michel Barnier told the BBC that "enough is enough", and confidence in the US had been shaken.
Mr Barnier, the commissioner for internal market and services, said Europe must not be naive but develop its own strategic digital tools, such as a "European data cloud" independent of American oversight.
The digital economy is on the official summit agenda for Thursday evening.
One of the key initiatives of the European Commission is its Digital Agenda for Europe, which it says "aims to reboot Europe's economy and help Europe's citizens and businesses to get the most out of digital technologies".

Hewitt: Focus on growth
Q&A: Migrants and asylum in the EU
Council officials say investment in the digital economy is vital to boost growth, which is creeping back to the European economy. They want to address market fragmentation and a perceived shortage of IT skills.
Mr Cameron is likely to use the economic discussion to raise what Britain sees as a proliferation of red tape.
He said last week: "All too often EU rules are a handicap for firms," and that small business owners "are forced to spend too much time complying with pointless, burdensome and costly regulations".
The European Commission - which makes the rules - has recognised that it may have gone too far in some places.
President Jose Manuel Barroso says he wants the EU to be "big on big things and smaller on smaller things".
He says the Commission has cut more than 5,000 legal acts in the past five years and wants to do more.
On Friday the leaders will discuss relations with central European countries, ahead of a November summit in Lithuania where new agreements will be signed.
Migration will also be discussed, following the loss of hundreds of lives among migrants trying to reach Europe from Africa and the Middle East.
The Highland club rejected an approach for the 51-year-old from their Premiership rivals in October.
"I was a wee bit disappointed that they didn't let me go and speak to Dundee United," said Hughes, who signed a new two-year deal at ICT on Tuesday.
"That doesn't mean that I was going to go. They might have had a little more trust, I can look after myself."
Dundee United eventually replaced Jackie McNamara with Mixu Paatelainen, while Hughes is pleased to have his own future settled.
"There were one or two things that could have been handled better," he added on the interest from Tannadice.
"I'm always intrigued to see what other people are doing. I was always taught in the classroom to listen to what people have got to say.
"It's never been about money or finances for me, it's about coaching, it's about getting the best out of people."
With Hughes now tied to the club until until May 2018, last season's PFA Scotland manager of the year intends to step up efforts for strengthening his squad and retaining key players.
He revealed that there is "a two-year deal on table for Ross Draper" and there is "scope to bring in one or two in January".
He also said he would explore the possibility of extending the loan deals for top-scorer Miles Storey, who has Swindon Town as his parent club, and midfielder Ryan Christie, who was sold to Celtic in the summer before being loaned back to the Highlanders.
On the search for new faces, Hughes added: "I can always find a bargain. I've been doing this for 14 years now and I think I've spent around £230,000 [in transfer fees].
"A good coach can get the best out of what he's got and that's what we've done over the last couple of years.
"I'm confident that these players have got a lot more to give me - we want to get back to the heights of last season.
"I said to them at a meeting this morning, 'it's simple if it's not you guys then it will be someone else, so you're playing for your livelihoods'.
"If that was me, it would give me the focus to make sure I was here for the next couple of years.
"It's all about moving the club forward and getting clarity on how we are going to do it, right from the top right down to the bottom."
Beijing's chief negotiator in the years before handover, Lu was known for his hard-line stance.
He notoriously called Hong Kong's last British Governor Chris Patten a "sinner for a thousand years" for making the territory's elections more democratic.
Lu also helped draft Hong Kong's mini constitution, the Basic Law.
Lu was appointed director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office (HKMAO) in 1990 and retired in 1997, just days after the handover.
He continued to comment on Hong Kong's future saying in a 2009 interview that the city should stop relying on favours from Beijing and improve its competitiveness, according to the South China Morning Post.
The interpretation of the Basic Law has been widely debated in recent months with some arguing it allows for Hong Kong to eventually have its leaders nominated by the general public.
However, China decided last year that candidates in the 2017 election must first be approved by a pro-Beijing committee, sparking more than two months of street protests by pro-democracy activists.
Sheku Bayoh, 31, died after being restrained by officers in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on 3 May 2015.
His death is currently being investigated by Police Scotland's independent watchdog, the Police Investigations Review Commissioner.
The father-of-two's relatives will be holding a commemorative service on Sunday.
They will lay flowers at the spot where he died in Hayfield Road, Kirkcaldy, and have asked friends to join them in celebrating Mr Bayoh's life at the town's Templehall Community Centre.
His partner Collette Bell, mother Aminata Bayoh, sisters Kadi Johnson, Adama Jalloh and Kosna Bayoh, and brother-in-law Ade Johnson will then meet Frank Mulholland on Monday.
The meeting will take place in Mr Mulholland's office in Edinburgh's Chambers Street and will also be attended by the family's solicitor Aamer Anwar.
Mr Bayoh's relatives have previously met Mr Mulholland when they complained that there were "too many questions and not enough answers" over the death.
The Lord Advocate was asked to update Holyrood on the investigation last September and told MSPs: "Having met the family on two occasions, I know the effect that this tragedy has had on them and they have borne their loss with great dignity.
"They are right to demand answers and a thorough, impartial and objective investigation is what they deserve."
He also confirmed that a fatal accident inquiry into the death would be held, regardless of any criminal proceedings.
In the decade that has passed since then, the man many in F1 still regard as the best driver on the grid has come agonisingly close another three times. And his quest for that elusive third crown has led to the two most trying seasons of his career with his current team McLaren-Honda, who he joined in 2015 after losing faith that Ferrari would ever get him there.
The struggles of 2015 and 2016, and the passing years, have shifted his perceptions about the importance of winning another championship - at least in terms of the simple statistics of it.
Now, in an exclusive and wide-ranging interview at the US Grand Prix, he tells BBC Sport that a third title would mean "probably less than people think".
"It would be nice obviously to win three, to have the same as Ayrton [Senna]," Alonso says. "To win five would be even better, to win seven… It is always a non-stop wish.
"But it will mean a lot more than the number three. It would mean winning for McLaren-Honda - how the project grew up in such a short time. That would be the biggest thing for me now."
Alonso admits that the past two years, fighting to even make it into the top 10 on the grid, have been: "Tough definitely - [I'm] missing the podiums a lot, missing the victories.
"But we work hard, we took that challenge and when we see progress like this year everyone is even more motivated.
"The day that arrives the first victory or the first win for McLaren-Honda will be a massive achievement for all of us. That chase is probably the motivation we are finding now because as you said missing the victories is very frustrating."
Although driving a car unbefitting of his talent, Alonso remains a gold standard, a man admired throughout his sport for the unrelenting excellence of his performances.
It is there almost every weekend - in the incredible first laps, often making up huge numbers of places; in sometimes freakish performances where he can seem to transcend the performance of his car.
One of those came in Austin last year. In a car usually 2.5 seconds off the pace, in the first 20 laps of a wet race he was faster on nine of them than leader Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes.
How does he do it?
"Last year here we had definitely a very difficult weekend - a difficult season - and here [Austin] we had some penalties and some things that didn't work and then in the first corner we had an incident and we were last.
"So when you are last, you are frustrated and then you risk a little bit more.
"The explanation of the fastest laps in the beginning of the race in a wet circuit is probably more about doing something out of the limits because you don't care any more.
"You are not fighting for the championship, you are not fighting for the race even because you are last and so you attack a little bit more. For Hamilton, you don't need to do these kind of things when you are leading the race.
"And then for the recovering places at the beginning of the races, when you start at the back it is easier.
"I would like not to recover any places, start first and be first, but it is a way of probably experience, intuition. I know the circuits quite well after 16 years in F1 and I know where sometimes the incidents happen or what lines to take in which corners, so probably I have a little advantage on those."
Some argue that McLaren have wasted Alonso's $40m (£32m) annual salary while they have an uncompetitive car. But racing director Eric Boullier, who was instrumental in attracting him to the team from Ferrari, says he would do it all over again.
"This guy, first of all, I never saw him being in the wrong place in any session in the last two years - he is always on top," Boullier says. "He is a marker for the car. He is never off his game. He is always there.
"You trust him when he's on the track. And off it, he doesn't waste time with details because he can adapt. He trusts us and he knows we will correct them. He just focuses on what stops him going faster. That's priceless."
This consistency - the ability to drive any car, no matter how it is behaving, to its limit - is something very few drivers can match. And Alonso is well aware of it.
Ask him what is his biggest strength, and he says: "Probably in the car to be fast in most of the conditions, let's say, or with any of the cars. I adapt my driving style more or less to anything, from go-kart to motorbike to wet, more downforce, less downforce, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Michelin, V8, V6, whatever.
"It seems I adapt a little bit quicker than some of my team-mates, at least, who are my only comparison because the other cars it's difficult. Some weak points I won't say obviously because then everyone will know.
"Out of the car, probably I remain more or less focused on the important things, try to always be motivated all the time, training all the time, don't get any distractions. I don't have an exuberant lifestyle or anything like that. I try to concentrate on my job and after I finish F1 one day I will live life differently but now it is time to work."
The roots of his skills, he says, lie in his very early days in motor racing.
"The start of your career has some implications for the rest of your life," he explained. "I did my first go-kart race in Spain at three years old and at 17 I switched to single-seaters.
"I was racing in go-karts in many different conditions, in many different categories. I was always like four or five years younger than any of my competitors.
"So you have to find your way or adapt your way - you can't reach the pedals, you can't reach the steering wheel, you don't have strength to turn the steering wheel, things like that probably put you in a way that defines your future career.
"My mother worked in a shopping mall, my father in an explosive company, and we didn't have money to pay for wet tyres for go-karts. So every time it was raining, I raced with the dry tyres while all the others were racing with the wet tyres.
"Obviously, I was lapped like eight times. It's not like I was winning with the dry tyres - I am not superman; I was losing by a long way. But I had to drive with those tyres because we didn't have any other tyres. So even if you are last, they switch on the engine and you race. So it has been probably a continuous evolution of my style, adapting."
Alonso's career has spanned many eras of F1 - V10 engines, V8s, hybrid V6s, a tyre war, control tyres from Bridgestone and now Pirelli. And he has raced against three generations of drivers.
He was the man who ended Michael Schumacher's reign, and he still regards the great German as the best driver he has raced against. He has battled with the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen for the past 10 years; now he faces a new generation.
His best year, he says, was 2012, when he came oh-so-close to winning the championship in what was probably the third or fourth best car on the grid, in a season's performance that ranks with any achieved by any driver in history.
His best race? He chooses two from his Ferrari era. "I would say Valencia 2012 - very emotional win starting 11th.
"But in terms of pure driving probably Malaysia 2010 was more difficult. I had no clutch and I had to drive touching the throttle in every downshift. We were fighting other cars. I didn't have sixth so from fifth I was changing to seventh all the time. All these things were very demanding, so that was the most difficult race I did."
Ask him who he thinks is currently the best driver, himself excluded, and he says it's a "very difficult question" before picking Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
"In the way he approaches racing, he is always very committed to everything he does. On the track, you cannot see any mistakes when you are together with him," Alsono said.
"In the overtaking manoeuvres probably he is the best out there. When he commits to one movement, 99% of the time he will achieve the result he wanted.
"Obviously 2014 together [as team-mates] with Vettel it was an amazing performance he showed. He was way ahead of Vettel in every single point in the driving, in the approach, in the starts, in the pit stops, in the overtaking, he was beating Vettel so easily. So I have to say he will be right now my choice."
Alonso has kept his patience well over these past two years, but the determination to add to his 32 victories - sixth in the all-time list - remains as intense as ever.
Ask him what winning means to him, and he says: "It is everything. Everything we do in life is a competition, or it is for me. F1 is no different.
"When you win, everything you work on, everything you did for the last 'X' days, everything you dream, everything you eat that morning, you do in your life was a preparation for that moment. So winning is everything. But if you are at school, winning means doing the exam better than anyone else. Everything in life you need these little victories here and there."
He has a contract with McLaren until the end of next season - when he "has to be confident" of returning to winning ways.
He has said many times this year that he will not decide his future until he has tried next year's new cars - and particularly the redesigned tyres from Pirelli, which has been asked to enable the drivers to push flat-out throughout a race again. This, Alonso says, will be crucial to whether he extends his career.
"How the cars will behave is completely unknown. We know they will be four of five seconds quicker. But if it is four or five seconds quicker on the first lap and then two seconds quicker the second lap, it is not any more fun.
"So we need something that is consistent and it gives you adrenaline to drive, and you attack and you drive in an attacking mode. Now we are driving in a safe mode - we save fuel, we save tyres, we save everything. So that is not any more fun to drive.
"In 2017, if the cars are really fun to drive and we are enjoying it, I could stay in F1 for a couple more years. I am 34, er, 35 right now."
He laughs at the fact he has forgotten his own age: "And I will be 35 also next year and the following years and the following year…
"It is not that I am older than Kimi, who is 37 right now, I read. So it is not a problem of age; it is a problem of enjoyment.
"I will not know exactly until mid-next year how much I will enjoy it, and if I keep enjoying, I love motor racing so I will stay for a couple more years. If it's still a 'safe' formula, let's say, I will think of some other alternatives."
Police said they were called to land off Toft's Lane, Stathern, at about 15:50 GMT and two men had been arrested on suspicion of assault.
The League Against Cruel Sports said two staff members were attacked by a group of men, some of whom had been on quad bikes and wearing masks.
The injured men are in hospital.
Darryl Cunnington, a former policeman with the Leicestershire force, sustained neck and leg injuries and his colleague Roger Swaine suffered from severe bleeding.
Their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Eduardo Goncalves, chief executive for the League Against Cruel Sports, said its staff monitor the activities of hunts and record evidence if the law is broken.
A Leicestershire Police spokesman said inquiries were ongoing to work out the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.
The Labour MSP got the job following the resignation of Jim Murphy in June, after Labour lost all but one of its 41 Scottish seats at the general election.
Ms Dugdale vowed to work "night and day" to reverse the party's fortunes.
Labour MSP Alex Rowley, a former aide to Gordon Brown, was elected as the party's new deputy leader.
Ms Dugdale - who stood against Ken Macintosh for the leadership - won the contest with 72% of the vote.
About 15,000 party members and 6,000 affiliated and registered members were entitled to take part in the ballot, which was held under a new one-person-one-vote system.
Ms Dudgale faces her first big test in the Scottish Parliament election next May, where a surging SNP is seeking a third term in office.
In a message to voters while speaking in Stirling, the Lothian MSP said: "Take another look at the Scottish Labour party.
"I am not so presumptuous to ask instantly for your vote. But at the recent election 700,000 of you stuck with us but many chose someone else.
"All I ask is that you take a fresh look at the Scottish Labour party under my leadership."
Scottish Labour has elected its eighth leader in 15 years.
But Kezia Dugdale's victory celebration will be short-lived. Her party is now in a fight for its very existence.
Ms Dugdale's first big challenge will be the Scottish Parliament election - less than nine months away. But right now, it's simply not possible to see how the party can win it.
Labour is one of those parties which hasn't in the past always taken kindly to losers in its senior ranks (Ms Dugdale's predecessor Jim Murphy lasted six months).
But party chiefs have made clear Scottish Labour must now be in it for the long haul.
That essentially means a move away from calls for yet another leader if next May's Holyrood poll produces a repeat of the recent UK election result, in which Labour lost all but one of its 41 Scottish seats.
Ms Dugdale's plan to rebuild the party centres on her - at the age of 33 and with just four years as an MSP - leading the charge of a new generation of Labour activists, while moving away from Scottish Labour giants of the past, such as Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and the like.
At the same time she needs to fix the problem which has dogged Scottish Labour for the past eight years - namely that voters stopped listening to the party because they didn't know what it stood for anymore.
Basically, Kezia Dugdale has just taken on one of the toughest jobs in politics.
Ms Dugdale added: "We are changing. I am part of a new generation. Someone without the baggage of the past."
The new Scottish Labour leader also told gathered members of the party faithful: "I will work night and day over the coming weeks and months to make you proud, to honour that trust that you have put in me today, to give you some hope to renew your faith in our abilities to transform the communities that we seek to serve."
She added: "I want to transform this country - to shake it up profoundly, so that the life chances of a child born today aren't determined by how much their parents earn but by their potential, by their work ethic and by their ambition."
Mr Rowley, who took the deputy leadership on the second round of voting, said: "I grew up in the mining village of Kelty. As I grew up it was quite clear that the Labour party was the party of working people."
He added: "Labour must unite across Scotland to tackle inequality, poverty and create employment."
The SNP's Derek Mackay said a change of leader alone would not solve "the deep, deep problems which the Labour Party in Scotland now faces".
Patrick Harvie of the Scottish Greens said: "There doesn't seem to be much chance of Kezia's party being able to connect with voters in time for the Holyrood election in May."
Levan Merrit fell into the enclosure at Jersey Zoo on 31 August 1986 and paramedic Brian Fox leapt in to save him.
The drama made headlines globally after silverback Jambo seemed to "protect" the child until help arrived.
Looking back, Mr Fox said it was "part of the job" so "got on with it".
He said he made the decision to jump into the enclosure when the "boy turned on his back and went unconscious".
He said: "The keepers were keeping another gorilla at bay so I could treat the boy."
There was panic from the dozens of people looking down as Jambo approached the child.
But he stood protectively over him and stopped other animals coming close to him until keepers were able to move the injured boy to safety.
Richard Johnston-Scott, head of apes from the 1970s until 2011 at what is now called the Durrell Wildlife Park, said the silverback gorilla just sat there as people shouted.
He said: "Jambo looked up as if he was saying 'why are you making so much noise'.
"[I'd] worked with him for the best part of seven years, I got to known him really well. I don't think that child was in any danger from the gorillas."
Andy Wood, second in charge of the apes, first jumped in to protect the paramedic followed by bird keeper Gary Clarke.
Mr Johnson-Scott described them both as "incredibly brave".
Levan had a fractured skull and protruding bones, but Mr Fox says it was the potential skull damage that was the real problem.
He was flown to Southampton hospital and later made a full recovery.
Jambo died in the early nineties.
Police were called to the one-vehicle crash on the A470 just after 12:30 BST.
The male driver was airlifted to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor with what is believed to be serious injuries and a female passenger was taken by ambulance to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd with minor injuries.
The road was shut and diversions have been put in place.
Adrian Brown, 38, was said to have been experiencing a "severe psychotic episode" when he stabbed Muhammed Ali on a London Overground train last year.
Southwark Crown Court heard other passengers saved Mr Ali's life.
Mr Brown agrees he carried out the attack, but denies attempted murder on the grounds of insanity.
Prosecutor Alan Kent QC said Brown, of Brockley Rise in south-east London, left the hostel he was staying in on 12 December armed with a knife and headed to Honor Oak Park.
He added Brown was determined to find and kill Muslim men.
"He walked up and down the train threatening passengers, threatening death to Muslims while looking for any Muslim men to stab and kill.
"He saw the victim, Mr Muhammed Ali, who was sitting on the train with his wife. The defendant approached Mr Ali, who was sitting down, and repeatedly stabbed him to his head and his body."
Mr Ali suffered injuries to his head and torso as well as a punctured lung.
Mr Brown is also accused of carrying a knife and assaulting Filipe Dias, who worked at the hostel, during an earlier incident, both of which are denied on the grounds of insanity.
The court heard Mr Brown had become agitated over a lack of hot water and set upon Ms Dias, who had previously confiscated knives from him.
Mr Kent told jurors that after attacking Ms Dias, he left saying "I'm going to kill some Muslims".
Jurors at the trial of issue must decide if Brown was insane at the time of the attack.
The court has heard that two psychiatrists have determined he was.
The trial continues.
The antique weapon is thought to have been used both in the Siege of Derry and the 1690 Battle of the Boyne.
An anonymous telephone bidder bought the gun at Ross's Auctioneers in Belfast on Thursday.
It had been presented by Mr Paisley to the then Irish prime minister in April 2007 during a historic meeting at the Boyne site in County Meath.
Mr Paisley's visit at the invitation of the Republic of Ireland's government came just a month after devolution was restored to Stormont, and was Mr Paisley's first trip outside Northern Ireland as first minister.
The privately-owned musket was on loan to the Irish state but returned in 2011 to its owner, a County Antrim businessman who wanted to remain anonymous.
Auctioneer Daniel Clarke said it was rare to find an antique gun in such pristine condition.
"The gun was in the same family for around 300 years, and they can apparently trace their ancestor back to the army of King James II," he said.
"In the last 10 to 15 years it has been in the ownership of a County Antrim collector."
Every 12 July, the Protestant Orange Order celebrates William of Orange's victory over the Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne.
The gesture of reconciliation by the then DUP leader, who died in 2014, was in return for Mr Ahern's gift at earlier political talks of a walnut bowl made from a tree at the battle site.
Mr Paisley had joked to Mr Ahern: "I trust you will not allow any of these weapons to be commissioned.
"You'll have to have the person in charge of decommissioning on a full-time job to see that all is well."
The BBC wants a copyright tribunal to resolve the row with collection agency Eos after its members broke away from the Performing Right Society (PRS).
Eos claimed they were being short-changed and the group has accused the BBC of conducting "sham" negotiations.
Mr Davies says he wants an agreement, and the row could not go on endlessly.
Mr Davies said: "There is goodwill and I would rather come to an agreement without having to go to a tribunal hearing and that's what we're working towards."
A tribunal will ensure all the arguments are heard and that a "fair and transparent" agreement is reached if the two sides cannot find a solution, he said.
"It's not a threat," he told Radio Cymru's Post Cyntaf programme.
"The tribunal is an institution for solving this kind of dispute so if we can't come to a settlement through negotiation then this is where this kind of dispute goes."
He added: "I want to avoid going to law. I want to reach an agreement on this without having to go to a tribunal, but we cannot allow this dispute to continue endlessly."
Talks between Eos and the BBC have been underway for months, but they failed to reach an agreement 1 January when Eos officially took control of the rights of its members' music.
As a result, more than 300 composers and publishers withdrew the right to play their music on the BBC, denying Radio Cymru rights to play about 30,000 songs.
Mr Davies said there was a "significant gap" between what Eos was seeking and what the BBC was offering.
The BBC has offered to contribute to the group's legal costs.
However, its chief executive, Dafydd Roberts, said the latest development was "disappointing".
"It appears that the discussions were a sham and in the meantime the BBC has been preparing documents and evidence for the tribunal," he said.
Mr Roberts has said that Eos will consider allowing Radio Cymru to play its members' music while the royalties dispute is sorted out.
Thirty-eight officers cover road policing duties compared to 12 officers three to four years ago.
Ch Supt Julian Innes, the area's divisional commander, said the move had led to an increase in detection rates.
Between April and October 3,755 motorists were detected breaking speed limits - a 40% rise on the same period last year.
Ch Supt Innes said: "That increase has nothing to do with speed cameras on the A9, or camera vans or any of the activity they do.
"We have increased the number of officers that have their dedicated time to road policing."
He said having more officers meant Police Scotland could improve its response to community concerns about speeding.
The senior officer added: "We are catching more folk."
It said pre-tax profits for the six months to 3 August fell to £239m from £344m a year earlier.
Morrisons is one of the "Big Four" supermarkets squeezed between the higher end of the market and discount supermarkets, including Aldi and Lidl.
Like-for-like sales excluding fuel fell 7.4% from a 1.6% fall a year earlier.
Sir Ian Gibson, non-executive chairman at Morrisons admitted trading conditions were tough adding the whole industry was experiencing "unprecedented change".
"Our first-half results reflect the reset of the business we announced in March. Morrisons is now well under way with building the foundations for a better future. The board is confident of the new strategy and Morrisons financial position remains strong," Sir Ian said.
Morrisons has embarked on a three-year £1bn investment programme.
The supermarket said it expected online shopping and convenience stores to drive overall market growth over the coming years.
Online shopping, which Morrisons only launched earlier this year, contributed 0.4% to overall sales in the six months to 3 August.
Despite the fall in profits Morrisons raised its interim dividend by 5% to 4.03p and confirmed its commitment to pay a full-year dividend of not less than 13.65p.
Morrison shares opened 4.3% higher to 183.90p on the London Stock Exchange.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, said: "Morrisons may have confounded its doubters by raising its dividend in contrast to Tesco's recent cut, but there nonetheless remains a tortuous journey to anything resembling a full recovery."
Morrisons sales have suffered as it and the other Big Four supermarkets - Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda - have lost market share to discounters like Aldi and Lidl, and high-end grocers including Waitrose and Marks & Spencer.
In April, Tesco reported a second fall in annual profits and has been forced to issue two profit warnings this year alone. In July the supermarket's chief executive, Philip Clarke, was forced to resign.
In June, the Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips was blasted by the grocer's founder Sir Ken Morrison at its annual shareholder meeting for delivering what Sir Ken called a "disastrous" set of results.
Sir Ken also told Mr Philips that his three year plan for the chain was akin to the manure produced by his herd of cattle.
Mr Philips said he was encouraged by the progress Morrisons had made but admitted there was an "enormous amount of change" still to come.
"Although it is too early to see the benefits of the three-year plan in the sales line, Morrisons is getting back on the front foot, and implementing change and innovation at real pace throughout the business," Mr Philips added.
In the same hour that Jessica Ennis won heptathlon gold and Greg Rutherford snatched long jump victory, Farah buried his illustrious rivals with a blistering final lap.
The 29-year-old world 5,000m champion ran a near-perfect race to cross the line in 27 minutes 30.42 seconds, with his training partner Galen Rupp in silver and Ethiopia's Tariku Bekele in bronze.
Farah's triumph ended a run of four successive Ethiopian wins and stopped Kenenisa Bekele from winning a third consecutive title.
Four years ago in Beijing, Farah failed to qualify for the 5,000m final, and in that moment of defeat vowed to give everything he had to become the best in the world.
On Saturday that undertaking came to glorious fruition as he was roared to unforgettable victory by 80,000 ecstatic supporters.
Farah, who was joined on his lap of honour by wife Tania and daughter Rihanna, said afterwards: "I just can't believe it, the crowd got so much behind me and was getting louder and louder.
"Mo went in with a race plan and he learned from last year. He showed great enthusiasm and guts. I am really pleased for him because he had a lot of expectation on his shoulders. He was expected to win and he came through."
"I've never experienced anything like this - it will never get any better than this, this is the best moment of my life.
"It doesn't come round often and to have it right on the doorstep and the amount of people supporting you and shouting out your name."
Mike McLeod was the last Briton to win a 10,000m medal with silver in 1984, but no British male has ever before won a global title at this distance.
At 5,000m Farah was comfortably set in a large pack going round at a tough but not brutal pace, the leaders going through in 14 mins 39.5secs.
Tadese went to the front with 11 laps to go before Kenya's Moses Masai picked it up 400m later and tried to stretch the field out with a lap of 63.8secs.
Kenenisa Bekele and Rupp followed on Masai's heels.
Wilson Kiprop had already dropped out injured, and Farah stayed on Bekele until, with five laps to go, he made his first move and eased up to third.
To an enormous roar from the crowd Farah then accelerated again at 8,800m and followed as the younger Bekele brother Tariku went to the front.
Farah looked effortless, poised, and with 800m to go held his position in the front two.
At the bell he made his big move, bursting into a lead of a metre on the straight and then kicking again with 90m left to go away clear.
It was an almost unreal end to the most astonishing of nights - and Farah still has the 5,000m to come.
Husband and wife Tony and Julie Wadsworth were found guilty by a majority verdict of encouraging six boys to take part in sexual activity between 1992 and 1996.
The couple were also convicted at Warwick Crown Court of outraging public decency by having sex in woodland.
The pair, of Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, had denied the charges.
Following a three-week trial, Julie Wadsworth, 60, was convicted by majority 10-2 verdicts of nine indecent assaults against boys and five counts of outraging public decency.
Her spouse, 69, who acted as a "look-out", was found guilty of the same charges, also by majority verdicts.
Both were found not guilty of three counts of indecent assault, two of which related to a single complainant.
Some victims, who were aged 11 to 15 at the time of the offences, told the court Julie Wadsworth was variously dressed in a "flasher's mac" trench coat, white high-heels, stockings, suspenders and a split-skirt.
Prosecutors said the abuse took place at a number of locations, including the couple's then home in Atherstone, Warwickshire, as well as on a nearby golf course and surrounding woodland.
During the trial, the Wadsworths - who married in 1994 - told how they had outdoor "hanky panky" in order to empower Julie Wadsworth and help her with body image issues stemming from a troubled past.
She admitted having sexual encounters with "young men" but repeatedly denied any of them had been under the age of consent.
In court it emerged that two groups of victims contacted police after a complainant realised what had taken place in the 90s "was not right and not appropriate".
In videos of police interviews played to the jury, the man claimed he had up to 15 sexual encounters as a teenager with Julie Wadsworth - around half of them before he turned 16.
On one occasion, the court heard, Tony Wadsworth joined in a "threesome" with the teenager at the couple's home after he turned 16.
Tony and Julie Wadsworth were a well-known double act in the Midlands, presenting together for more than two decades for BBC local radio in Leicester and in Birmingham.
The couple were known for their double-entendres and "Carry On" sense of humour - and played up to it on camera and for publicity.
Although little-known outside the Midlands, the case generated lurid headlines in the newspapers as details of the couple's sex lives were revealed in court.
Staff who worked with them said they had absolutely no suspicions about their sexual behaviour.
Another victim, who was 14 at the time, told the court he was "100% convinced" that a couple he saw having sex against a tree in 1992 were the Wadsworths and said she had performed a sex act on him.
One of the complainants told the trial Julie Wadsworth "must have known" her victims were under-age because of their physical appearance.
The sixth witness estimated that he was about 11 when he and older boys saw the Wadsworths having sex against a tree.
He was either 12 or 13 when he and two other boys were indecently assaulted, the man recalled.
Sentencing the pair, Judge Andrew Lockhart QC said the "grave" offences had caused emotional damage to all the victims.
He said Julie Wadsworth, had "loved the attention and that young boys were attracted to you" and her husband had encouraged the offences.
He said it would have been obvious to anyone that the victims - some of whom were riding bikes or climbing trees in parkland - were young boys.
As the verdicts were returned, Julie Wadsworth repeatedly gulped and wiped away tears. Her husband showed little emotion.
Mitigating for her after conviction, David Hislop QC said: "At 60 years of age, hers has been a tragic fall from grace... a period of incarceration will be made even more difficult for her, knowing the stigma attached to her convictions will carry on forever."
Tony Wadsworth's lawyer, Michelle Clarke, said the hardest thing for him would be being separated from his wife.
Speaking after the case, David Rouse, a senior prosecutor with the Crown Prosecution Service, said the couple had lived "double lives".
"In their public and professional lives they were a couple who came across as caring, warm and respectable.
"However, in their private lives, they preyed on young, impressionable victims for their own sexual gratification."
He thanked the victims for their courage in bringing "two sexual predators to justice".
Det Sgt Rhys Bower, from Warwickshire Police, said: "These two individuals gave no thought to the impact their actions were having on the young boys they abused; they were only concerned with their own gratification."
The NSPCC said: "The Wadsworths' behaviour has been exposed for what it is - child sexual abuse.
"Julie Wadsworth's fatuous claim in court that she was a victim in this case is insulting.
"The true victims were young boys who were repeatedly encouraged to engage in illegal sexual activity."
A BBC spokesman said the Wadsworths were last on air in December 2015 and no longer work for the corporation.
Harris Binotti is being sought by the authorities in Myanmar. They want to question him about the death of another British man, Gary Ferguson, in Yangon.
Both men had been working as teachers there. Mr Binotti left Myanmar the day before Mr Ferguson's body was found.
According to the Sun newspaper, Mr Binotti has been living openly in Glasgow.
Last week, Interpol issued a "red notice" - an international alert for a wanted person - for the Scottish teacher over the murder of his colleague.
However, the notice is not an official arrest warrant and cannot be used on its own by UK police to detain someone.
A statement from Police Scotland said: "The Myanmar authorities have the lead in the investigation into the death of Peter Gary Ferguson.
"Police Scotland has no authority to arrest anyone at this stage.
"Police Scotland will continually monitor any ongoing risk and take all appropriate measures."
It is understood UK authorities in Yangon are in contact with the Burmese police and have raised the case with senior officials at the Burmese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Contact has also been made with the Burmese Embassy in London to move the case forward.
The Interpol notice states that Mr Binotti faces a charge of murder and describes him as having brown hair and blue eyes and measuring about 1.68m (5ft 5in) tall.
Mr Binotti, who is from Dumfries, reportedly took a flight from Myanmar to Thailand before Mr Ferguson's body was found in his flat.
Mr Ferguson and the 26-year-old accused are believed to have gone out drinking two nights before his body was discovered and neighbours reported hearing sounds of a fight.
Both men taught English at the Horizon International School in Yangon, in the south of the country formerly known as Burma.
Mr Ferguson, who had a four-year-old son, had worked there for a year while Mr Binotti had been there for three months.
A spokesman for Interpol said: "At the request of Myanmar authorities, Interpol issued a red notice, or international wanted persons alert, for Mr Binotti.
"A red notice is a request to provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition issued upon the request of a member country based on a valid national arrest warrant.
"It is not an international arrest warrant."
Interpol said it did not arrest individuals, but added: "Many of Interpol's member countries, however, consider a red notice a valid request for provisional arrest."
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said last week: "We continue to do all we can to help and support the family of Mr Ferguson at this difficult time.
"We are in contact with the Burmese authorities responsible for the investigation."

She dangled from a helicopter about one hundred metres above the waterfall to perform her tricks.
She dangled from her teeth, did the splits and even hung upside down.
She was attached to a rope harness to keep her safe but she didn't have to use it, phew!
Take a look.
Carwyn Jones was pressed to give a date when workers would be available to all patients in the Senedd chamber.
It comes after BBC Wales revealed accurate information about the number of workers was not available.
A Freedom of Information request found compiling the data is not mandatory.
The Welsh Government said in May 2010 that the NHS would provide key workers to help co-ordinate care by the end of March 2011.
At question time on Tuesday, Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies called for a date when the pledge would be met.
"You made the commitment in 2010," he said.
"Public Health Wales just say one basic point - it's not mandatory to collect the data.
"How can you genuinely say that you know you're progressing in meeting this target?"
The First Minister said he would write to him with a date.
He said: "That is something we are still working towards to make sure that everyone has that key worker and he will see that the amount of money that has gone towards cancer treatment has increased over the years."
Mr Jones initially answered Mr Davies by attacking his leadership during the general election campaign.
The Tory leader accused him of taking "pot shots" and of being "flippant".
The First Minister said he had lost people close to him to cancer, adding: "Indeed I have seen my wife deal with cancer. It affects so many of us."
Mr Jones said key workers had been identified as a priority adding that work was underway to "develop a set of standards and associated measures to review the progress health boards and trusts are making in the provision of key workers".
Welshman Bale, 25, has been jeered by fans of the Spanish club in recent weeks.
He was also criticised by some sections of the media following Saturday's 4-0 defeat by local rivals Atletico Madrid.
"He can handle that no problem at all," said Coleman.
"I'm not worried about him. If you go to Madrid for that amount of money and you know that the spotlight is on you then you can either handle it or you can't handle it."
Bale has been jeered by some Real supporters in the past few weeks for not passing the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo
'Disaster', 'irrelevant' and 'listless' were some of the words the Spanish media used to describe his performance in the European champions' worst derby defeat since a 5-0 loss in 1947.
"In [Bale's] first season they won the Champions League, which was their holy grail - and he was a huge part of that campaign," said Coleman.
"It's his turn now to get some criticism.
"It won't bother him. He'll be fine. He'll get through it."
Coleman is also confident the criticism will not affect his star man before Wales' key Euro 2016 qualifier against Israel in March.
Wales remain unbeaten and second in Group B, one point behind leaders Israel.
The Wales manager believes that the international break next month will work in Bale's favour.
"He can come away with us and forget about [the criticism] and block it out," said Coleman.
"He'll be focused on [European qualification] when he'll be with us. No doubt about it."
About 10,000 people have had to leave their homes because of damage from Cyclone Enawo.
Power supplies are also down in some areas, according to local media.
The emergency services are warning of the threat of flooding, including in the capital, Antananarivo, although the storm has now diminished in strength.
Weather stations say the rain has weakened to drizzle although there are still strong winds.
Parts of Antananarivo were evacuated overnight and aid agencies are providing shelter, water and other basic needs to those affected.
The city's government schools have been closed as a precaution and Prime Minister Olivier Mahafaly told employers to allow workers to stay at home.
Asked about emergency help for those outside the capital, Mr Mahafaly said: "We will do our best with our own resources but we will make an emergency declaration if necessary, if the damage will be significant."
Enawo dumped 12 inches of rain across north-east Madagascar in 12 hours on Tuesday, with winds reaching up to 300km/h (185mph).
The former Doctor Who companion is Nebula in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which topped the North American box office in its debut weekend.
Its takings of $94m (£55.8m) set a record for a film opening in August.
The movie also stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista, while Bradley Cooper voices an alien racoon called Rocket.
Gillan, from Inverness, who played Amy Pond in Doctor Who, told the BBC News Scotland website: "This is my first villain - the first of many one would hope.
"I had to train in martial arts and work out four times a week to be able to handle the fight sequences with Zoe Saldana."
Gillan added: "I was aware of the Marvel films that had gone before, so I knew the standard would be high.
"And to play a villain in one of those was about the most exciting thing ever."
The actress had her head shaved before making her bid for the role of Nebula.
She said: "When I was asked to audition, I had to agree the shave my head before I could even get in the room.
"But that was fine with me, I was looking for something drastic."
For her performances in the film, Gillan was required to spend five hours in make up.
She said: "It was worth every second. And I got to watch films on my iPad while being turned blue."
Guardians of the Galaxy forms part of Marvel's so-called "Phase 2" project.
The first phase involved the development and release of superhero movies featuring well-known comic book characters such as Iron Man, Captain America and Thor.
Gillan said: "I'd never heard of Guardians - like most of the general population.
"But that was exciting because it is new, we are establishing something, taking a risk and we get to be the first actors to ever play these roles in cinema. That's cool to me."
There has been a slight rise in the first week of July but police fear this may not be the full picture.
Supt Liane Bartlett said "there's a tangible feeling that there has been a change in climate".
Businesswoman Shazia Awan has reported six incidents and said hate crime must be "challenged at any opportunity".
She joined Supt Bartlett in an appeal for victims to come forward.
Recorded hate crime in south Wales for the two weeks to the end of June was down slightly on the same period the year before, 104 compared to 113.
But in the first week of July it rose slightly - 47 reported hate crimes in the force area compared to 44 for the same week in 2015.
Incidents include:
Police have been in contact with community leaders and want to be "on the front foot" in tackling issues and providing reassurance.
Supt Bartlett wants people to report more incidents, adding south Wales has "for a long time been an open, tolerant and safe place to be - we need to make people feel safe".
Award-winning businesswoman Ms Awan, born in Caerphilly and living in Cardiff, has already reported six incidents - the first on the morning of the referendum result, which involved abuse on social media by an organised far-right group.
Ms Awan, a former Conservative parliamentary candidate and Remain campaigner, said she had also spoken to friends, including a Congolese man who had been abused in Cardiff on Wednesday.
"He feels different now and doesn't feel welcome any more," she said.
"The daughter of a friend of mine, who's 16, asked 'do we have to pack up and go, because they don't want us here?'"
Another friend in a supermarket was shoved by another shopper and told to "go home".
She said there were sometimes language barriers to reporting crimes and worries people would be wasting police time.
But she said victims were treated seriously by the police - and it could stop further crimes.
Supt Bartlett said reporting incidents also "provides another piece in the jigsaw" in tackling the problem and tracking down offenders.
She said all forms of hate crime were "totally unacceptable" and would be fully investigated.
Victims would also be offered support from within their own communities, she added.
The reality show received 3,784 complaints, mainly about the behaviour of its eventual winner Helen Wood and her treatment of housemates.
Celebrity Big Brother was in second place with 1,874 complaints, many of those about Hollywood actor Gary Busey.
Soaps Emmerdale, Coronation Street and EastEnders, also feature in the top 10.
The majority of complaints about Coronation Street related to a kiss between characters Todd and Marcus.
While most of the complaints about EastEnders were about the storyline where Linda Carter, the Queen Vic landlady, was raped.
The BBC defended the storyline as part of the soap's "rich history" of portraying difficult storylines.
In third place was Channel 4 documentary Cutting Edge: Going to the Dogs. It received 1,805 complaints about animal cruelty and endorsing criminal behaviour.
Another Channel 4 documentary series, Benefits Street, received 967 complaints about the representation of those on benefits, endorsing criminal behaviour and the welfare of children
X Factor was the sixth most complained about TV show of 2014, with 360 various complaints over content and voting.
A Sky News report which saw Colin Brazier going through the belongings of victims of the MH17 air disaster in Ukraine was also in the top 10.
205 people complained about the broadcast, for which the reporter apologised.
The two sides have agreed a batch of reforms that will be presented to the Greek Parliament on Thursday.
The eurozone countries insisted on the measures before releasing €2bn (£1.4bn) in loans and up to €10bn in support for the banks.
The agreement will help pave the way for further payments under the country's third bailout.
The eurozone has agreed to provide Greece with up to €86bn in total.
Like the first two bailouts, the third, which was agreed in July, came with an extensive list of conditions that Greece had to meet before it receives instalments of the loans.
It has so far received €13bn under the third programme.
The next payment had been held up by differences between the two sides over protection from repossession for home owners in arrears with their mortgages and about reforms to the banks.
These and other issues have now apparently been resolved although Greece still has work to do to put the measures it has agreed into effect.
Of the €12bn of delayed funds, €2bn is for general support for the Greek government budget. The remainder is for recapitalising the banks - repairing their financial foundations so that they can function effectively.
The banks are also asking private investors to come up with some cash, but a contribution from the bailout will also be needed.
The Greek Finance Minster Euclid Tsakalotos described it as a difficult negotiation and said the pressure to get the deal finalised came from the need to support the banks.
The eurozone has also held out to Greece the possibility of debt relief after a review of progress under the new bailout.
However, it has said that relief would come in the form of longer delays before repayments start or finish, not a reduction - or so-called "haircut" - in the amount that has ultimately to be repaid.
Emily Gardner, 14, from Gloucester, was trapped under the vessel when the buoyancy aid became caught off Brixham, Devon, in May.
The speedboat capsized after hitting a large wave, the Marine Accident Investigation Branch report said.
The one adult and two other teenagers on board managed to swim to shore.
Emily was wearing an extra-small wetsuit, but the report said the adult extra-large buoyancy aid was not a close fit, increasing the opportunity for it to become snagged.
She was freed 25 minutes after the boat capsized and given medical treatment, but she never regained consciousness.
Source: Marine Accident Investigation Branch report
The report said the speedboat driver, who was a co-owner of the 26-year old vessel bought second hand on eBay the year before, "was not wearing the kill cord" which stops the engine when activated in an emergency or when the driver is thrown from the vessel.
It also said the driver had "relatively limited experience" in that particular speedboat.
A new propeller and "not ideal" sea conditions should have "suggested a more cautious approach when venturing out, rather than applying almost full throttle as soon as the boat was in open water", said the report.
The report did not make any recommendations but said the Royal Yachting Association and British Water Ski and Wakeboard intended to publicise the safety issues.
At Emily's funeral in May the Reverend Susan Cooke, who conducted the service, said: "Emily was obviously a very fun loving and happy girl."
Witold Solski, from Dundee, died after a collision between his car and the lorry at Careston junction, two miles south of Brechin, on Wednesday evening.
The 30-year-old female passenger in the Skoda car and the lorry driver were not injured.
Police said inquiries were ongoing and have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Mark Corallo was a spokesman for Marc Kasowitz, who is defending Mr Trump in an inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in last year's election.
Reports said that Mr Corallo disagreed with the alleged strategy of Mr Trump's lawyers to discredit or limit the team directing the investigation.
There has been no comment from him or the Trump team.
Mr Corallo is close to Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the Russia investigation, and has praised him publicly, Politico website reports.
He had grown frustrated with the operation of the legal team and the warring factions and lawyers, the report adds.
Mr Mueller has hired big names to join his team, which is also investigating whether there was any collusion with the Trump team, which both Russia and Mr Trump have denied.
The New York Times reported that Mr Trump's team was looking to discredit the investigation led by Mr Mueller, analysing the background of the lawyers hired by him in search of any possible conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post said that the president's lawyers were working to find ways to limit or undercut the investigation, also looking into possible conflicts of interest in Mr Mueller's team, and discussing the president's authority to grant pardons. | Plans to boost apprenticeship funding in England will hit school budgets, with small council schools unfairly affected, say town hall bosses.

Exercise Joint Warrior is held twice a year - in April and October - for thousands of army, navy and air force personnel.
The training will see increased military activity at Faslane on the Clyde, RAF Lossiemouth in Moray and ranges at Cape Wrath in Sutherland.
The exercise runs until 23 April and will involve submarines, surface ships and aircraft including RAF Typhoons.
Warships and aircraft have already started arriving in Scotland ahead of the start of the training.
This year's second staging of Joint Warrior, which will also take place in Scotland, will include what the Royal Navy has described as its first "robot wars".
Unmanned Warrior 2016 will involve drones, including unmanned aerial vehicles and machines that can operate underwater.
Companies that manufacture the weapons and Nato member countries have been invited by the Royal Navy to take part.
Croft, who played 21 Tests and 50 one-day internationals, will work with the spin bowlers for a 12-day period.
The 45-year-old is currently on the coaching staff at his former county Glamorgan.
England are also set to re-hire former limited-overs captain Paul Collingwood as a coach for the World T20.
Collingwood worked with England during the white-ball part of their tour of the UAE and assisted then coach Ashley Giles at the 2014 World T20.
Andrew Strauss, director of England cricket, said: "Robert has had success in both domestic and international cricket during his career and he'll have plenty to offer the dressing room."
Croft, who played first-class cricket until the age of 42, said: "It's extra experience for me and if the opportunity presents itself to help the lads I will. I'm there to observe and primarily be a sounding board for the spin bowlers, but will give any additional help as required.
"Looking from afar, this England team seems to have a no-fear attitude at the moment.
"There's a confidence about these England players and the side is well balanced in terms of age and experience."
Flanker Williams, 36, will win his 100th Wales cap against the Barbarians on Saturday, 2 June.
Wales captain and Blues man Warburton said: "I was disappointed, to be honest, with the last game at the Blues when there was only about 3,000 there.
"And for a player like Martyn, you think he deserves a better send-off."
Williams' final game for the Blues came in the Pro12 League at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday, 22 April when they beat Edinburgh 38-13 in front of an official 3,580 attendance.
Saturday, 2 June: Wales v Barbarians (Millennium Stadium, 14:00 BST)
Saturday, 9 June: Australia v Wales (Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane; 11:00 BST)
Tuesday, 12 June: Brumbies v Wales (Canberra Stadium, Canberra; 10:30 BST)
Saturday, 16 June: Australia v Wales (Etihad Stadium, Melbourne; 11:00 BST)
Saturday, 23 June: Australia v Wales (Aussie Stadium, Sydney; 06:00 BST)
That crowd figure and other disappointing support at the home of Cardiff City Football Club prompted the Blues to return to Cardiff Arms Park for regular fixtures from next season.
But Warburton hopes Wales' fans can at least turn up in enough numbers for the Barbarians visit to give Williams "his just reward".
And the player who Williams helped nurture at the Blues also believes the former Pontypridd player would rue missing out on a century of Wales caps if the opportunity had not arisen.
"[It's] brilliant for him, yeah. He does really deserve that 100th cap and it would have haunted him for the rest of his life," said Warburton.
"He might not admit that, but I think he'd desperately want it. So I'm really chuffed for him that he's got that [coming]."
Williams was on the winning side when Wales met the Barbarians in 2011 as the invitation club to a dramatic 31-28 win over his own nation.
That was Williams' only match at that level since Wales' November 2010 Tests and was followed by a 99th cap against Argentina in August 2011 as Wales completed their build-up for the 2011 World Cup.
He was left out of the tournament squad and failed to win favour for the 2012 Six Nations in which Warburton's injury paved the way for Osprey Justin Tipuric to make his mark.
When Tipuric was also injured during the Six Nations, Scarlet Aaron Shingler made his debut at openside having built his reputation elsewhere in the back-five.
Those openside preferences have left Williams on the sidelines for their last 13 Tests.
Earlier in his career he was overlooked in favour of Brett Sinkinson, a New Zealander who won 20 caps while playing for Neath.
Sinkinson won 15 of those caps before being ruled ineligible for Wales amid the Grannygate scandal that broke in 2000, and five more after he later qualified for Wales on residency grounds.
If, as is likely, facing the Barbarians is Williams' Test swan song, he will bow out against long-time Wales team-mates Shane Williams, Stephen Jones and Duncan Jones.
However, former Cardiff RFC and Pontypridd flanker Williams is also on standby for the Australia series.
With only seven days in between facing the Barbarians at the Millennium Stadium and taking on the Wallabies, Wales send a 15-strong advance party down under to acclimatise for the tour opener in Brisbane.
Warburton is expected to be among the advance guard as he continues to recover from the shoulder injury that ruled him out of the latter stages of Wales' 2012 Six Nations Grand Slam campaign.

Benitez was certainly in the mood to add the Europa League to the Champions League he won at Liverpool in 2005 and the Uefa Cup claimed when coach at Valencia 12 months earlier.
If many Chelsea fans refuse to remember Benitez's short interim reign at Stamford Bridge once he has gone, the Spaniard is at least determined to leave a trophy behind with his name alongside it.
Chelsea's supporters may not wish to recall Benitez with any fondness, but you suspect this most divisive of managers may just take added pleasure in giving them no option by delivering success.
Benitez has made much of his reputation on the one-off European set-piece, proving a successful strategist while taking Liverpool to two Champions League finals - and it was clear this stage suits him as he faced the media in Amsterdam.
Having secured owner Roman Abramovich's main priority of a place in next season's Champions League, Benitez can provide an added bonus and add weight to his carefully cultivated CV by beating Benfica on Wednesday.
Much has been made of Benitez's desire to add a trophy to his own list of honours before taking his leave after Sunday's final home game against Everton, in the manner of a personal vanity project - but a coach wanting to add to his reputation by winning honours is hardly a crime.
Benitez was relaxed in familiar surroundings, once more declining to offer any apology when asked about comments relating to Chelsea before his arrival. Smiling he replied: "A manager has to defend his club and I'm defending Chelsea now."
And as Chelsea trained, he was in his element, although there was a certain irony at the ineligible Demba Ba hitting the back of the net from all angles while Fernando Torres looked out of sorts.
Benitez spent a long spell in conversation with Torres during training, no doubt reminding the rather sullen striker he has been Chelsea's specialist since they dropped out of the Champions League and into the Europa League after a dismal defence of their crown.
Rarely has Benitez looked more relaxed, observing from the sidelines before a lengthy and animated discussion with Ramires and David Luiz. And even when Chelsea's players returned to the dressing room he stayed behind to pose for pictures and sign autographs with observers inside this magnificent stadium.
Benfica will present dangerous opponents under coach Jorge Jesus, a man on a personal mission to end the Eagles' run of 51 years without a European trophy, which has included six defeats in major finals.
Jesus wants that curse ended and the quality they have displayed in this tournament marks them out as formidable opposition, but Benitez has a list of victims in European combat that stands the closest scrutiny. AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan all fell to his Liverpool sides.
For Benitez, there is the possibility of forcing Chelsea's followers into accepting his time at Stamford Bridge was fruitful by presenting tangible evidence, while making himself more attractive to prospective employers. He wishes to stay in the Premier League but he also had to deal with inquiries about possible interest from Napoli when he faced the media.
Benitez's history, his ability to craft victories in one-off European games, has been much of his stock in trade. And, while there was not exactly warmth towards him from Chelsea fans gathering in Amsterdam, there was a quiet, almost whispered, acceptance that he is due some credit should they beat Benfica.
One man less likely to be coming to the end of his Chelsea career is Frank Lampard. The expected arrival of Jose Mourinho has increased the prospect of him staying after he became the club's all-time record goalscorer, taking his tally to 203 with both goals in Saturday's 2-1 win at Aston Villa.
Few would bet against this remarkable player adding goal number 204 in his 607th appearance for Chelsea and he is likely to lead them, as he did in last season's Champions League final win, because John Terry has an ankle injury.
Lampard and goalkeeper Petr Cech were at pains to point out Chelsea were not in pursuit of a consolation prize in the shape of the Europa League. These serious professionals are chasing a serious trophy. As Lampard said: "The more we have been in it the more we have grown to love it."
No-one loves the stern challenges and examinations of European football more than Rafael Benitez. Benfica will provide him with both in the majestic surroundings of the Amsterdam Arena.
After a four-year break to pursue solo projects, the band has got back together to try and build on the 25 top 40 hits they had between 1997 and 2012.

The festival will be held on 30 September and 1 October.

The latest construction market survey by RICS and Tughans says NI firms are seeking work in Great Britain in particular.
It says this is due to the lack of a significant recovery in construction activity within Northern Ireland.
Private housing was the one area of construction in Northern Ireland that saw a significant increase in activity.
Overall, the workloads of Northern Ireland construction surveyors increased in the final quarter of last year, according to the survey, but at a significantly slower rate than in all other UK regions.
Infrastructure activity fell significantly in the final three months of the year, the survey found, making it the ninth consecutive quarter in which surveyors reported falling or flat infrastructure workloads.
"All four quarters of 2015 saw growth in overall Northern Ireland construction workloads, but this was from a low base, and in each quarter the rate of growth was significantly lagging other UK regions," RICS Northern Ireland spokesman, Jim Sammon, said.
"One key trend has been the rising amount of work being done by local firms outside of Northern Ireland, particularly in Scotland and England, where there has been much more robust construction growth.
"In some respects this is a positive story, demonstrating the competitiveness and excellence of our construction businesses.
"However, we want to see workloads within Northern Ireland increasing as well, particularly in infrastructure."
In an emailed statement, al-Shabab said the attack was revenge for Western intelligence operations in Somalia.
The Daallo Airlines Airbus 321 with 74 passengers on board made an emergency landing in the capital Mogadishu after the explosion shortly after take-off.
One person, said to be the bomber, was reportedly blown out of the plane.
The explosion happened about 15 minutes into the flight, when the plane was only at around 11,000ft (3,350m) and the cabin was not yet pressurised.
What happened on the plane?
Al-Shabab wants IS to back off
Who are al-Shabab?
Why I left militant group
Most of the passengers had originally been booked on a Turkish Airlines flight but the flight was cancelled due to bad weather a few hours before take-off, Turkish Airlines said.
In its statement, al-Shabab said it had targeted Turkish Airlines because it said the Nato state was supporting Western operations in Somalia.
But the group admitted it had failed in its aim of bringing down the flight.
Somali authorities have released a video showing a passenger being given a laptop that they believe contained the bomb.
In the video, a man in an orange hi-visibility vest is shown walking with a man in a blue shirt holding what looks like a laptop. Another man in a hat approaches them and it is alleged that the laptop is handed over.
More than 20 people have been arrested in connection with the incident, the Somali government said.
There are record numbers of people in work in the UK, but what exactly do they do and what might be on their minds when they head out to vote?
When politicians want to appeal to working people they tend to don hard hats and head to factories or construction sites.
These workplaces may look good in pictures, but they do not chime with most people's experience of work.
Fewer than one in 10 people work in manufacturing and even fewer in construction.
In contrast, four out of five people work in service industries.
This covers everything from bank workers to plumbers and restaurant staff - the businesses that provide work for customers, but which don't manufacture things.
These service sector jobs have grown over time: 20 years ago they made up less than three-quarters of employment.
The biggest growth since then has been in public administration, education and health.
Over the same period, the biggest fall has been in manufacturing, where the share of jobs has halved since the 1990s. The sector now provides employment for just under three million workers.
The world of work may once have been a man's world, but that is no longer the case.
At the start of the 1970s, a little over one third of workers were women.
But rapid growth in female employment during the 1970s and 1980s means that women now make up almost half of the workforce.
However, there are still big challenges in terms of how men and women experience work, like the enduring gender pay gap - which is 18% for all workers and 9% among full-time staff.
Nonetheless, rising female employment has been one of the key drivers of improvements in living standards over the past 50 years.
More recently, the workforce has also grown older.
Nearly one in three people in work is now aged 50 and over, compared to just over one in five back in 1992.
This trend is being driven by rising life expectancy, the progress of the large baby boomer generation through their careers and policy changes like the increasing state pension age.
The changing nature of work and the jobs people do to make ends meet has become an increasingly important issue.
At present, there is a particular focus on the emerging gig economy.
The term is often used to describe short-term casual work, although there is some disagreement about exactly what it means and the number of jobs it includes.
However, what is clear is that ways of working that might be thought of as atypical have increased.
In the UK there are nearly five million self-employed people, from highly-paid management consultants to delivery drivers - an increase of 50% since the turn of the millennium.
In addition, there are 900,000 workers on zero hours contracts and 800,000 agency workers. Both groups have grown markedly in recent years.
Less clear is what is driving this and whether these jobs provide an acceptable balance between flexibility and security for workers.
As a result, the government has commissioned a high-profile review of employment practices in the modern economy which will report later this year.
Although the world of work is changing, it is still the case that most people have what might be called traditional jobs.
Nearly two-thirds of people in work have full-time roles for an employer - a proportion that has fallen only slightly since the early 1990s.
The average working week is 32 hours long, only an hour shorter than it was a quarter of a century ago.
Even if we only focus on workers aged under 30, it remains the case that two-thirds - more than five million of them - have full-time employee jobs. However, this proportion has fallen a bit faster since the early 1990s.
But with 32 million people in work overall and the employment rate at a record high, job numbers have never been stronger going into an election.
For most people, living standards are determined by whether they have a job - and how much they get paid.
For the lowest-paid workers, the introduction of the National Minimum Wage in 1999 set a minimum hourly rate for the first time.
It has since risen faster than both inflation and average earnings.
The bar was raised further with the introduction of the National Living Wage in April 2016, bringing a 70p hourly pay rise to millions of minimum wage workers aged 25 and over.
This meant that the earnings of the lowest-paid are growing faster than average earnings - a trend which is forecast to continue.
The wider picture for earnings is not so positive.
The UK experienced a pay squeeze following the financial crisis of 2008, with wages growing more slowly than prices for five years.
Helped by low inflation, a couple of recovery years followed, but real wages are once again falling as pay fails to keep up with inflation.
Combined with the Office for Budget Responsibility's gloomy economic forecasts for the coming years, it looks likely that average real pay will be lower in the years 2011 to 2020 than it was between 2001 and 2010.
That would make this the worst decade for earnings in over 200 years.
Average earnings are £480 per week, but they would be closer to £600 per week if these two periods of pay squeeze had been avoided.
Improving productivity is going to be key for any government if it wants to deliver for the hard-working people it champions.
Achieving that, however, will not be straightforward.

It also boasts a 7,000-capacity stadium, education facilities and medical and sports science services.
The 80-acre site was officially opened on Monday and attended by Chancellor George Osborne.
"I have never seen anything like it," said City defender Pablo Zabaleta.
The project, funded by City's owners and built in partnership with Manchester City Council, was conceived following the takeover of the Premier League club by Sheikh Mansour in 2008.
Built on the site of a former chemical works, it includes:
City's first team has been based there since October and already stay in the hotel-standard rooms before home games.
The complex is connected to the Etihad Stadium by a bridge and houses all of the club's teams, from age-group sides to men's and women's senior squads - a total in excess of 450 individuals weekly.
Patrick Vieira thinks the facility will help the club attract the best young players in the world.
"If we go into the market and we compete to bring young players or first-team players in, having a facility like this can only help," said the former City midfielder, who runs the club's elite development squad.
"When you are a young, talented player from Manchester - or worldwide - you want the best possible facilities to challenge and improve yourself."
A World Cup winner with France who also played club football for Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan, Vieira, 38, believes City's new complex is like no other.
"Arsenal was really good, Inter was really good, but I think this training facility takes it to a different level," he said.
City visited venues around the world to get ideas for their own academy, parts of which will also be used by the local community.
City's new facility has more pitches (16.5) than Real Madrid's Ciudad training complex (13.5), the Football Association's National Football Centre at St George's Park (12), and Barcelona's Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper (9).
The building that houses City's first-team squad contains a hypoxic chamber where players can run at altitude or in extreme temperatures, a hydro-therapy area for treating injuries and even a hydro treadmill with underwater cameras to monitor a player's movement.
There is also a lounge, a refectory and a 56-seat TV auditorium where coaching staff and players can review video clips from training.
There is also accommodation that includes king-sized beds and en-suite bathrooms, with the decor designed specially by sleep experts.
There is also a department solely dedicated to advising players on such matters as tax, mental health, drinking, drugs and social media.
"Our aim is to see young footballers realise their full potential both on and off the field," said City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
Zabaleta says Lionel Messi and the rest of the Argentina squad were impressed with the facility when they trained there ahead of last month's friendly against Portugal at Old Trafford.
"Everyone was impressed," said the Argentina full-back. "When you come here and see the buildings and stuff, it is fantastic."
Osborne hailed the complex as a model example for others to follow.
"I am a strong believer in improving sporting facilities for young people," said the Chancellor, who used the event to announce a £50m five-year government investment in grassroots football.
The directive aims to "lower the acceptable tackle height" to help reduce the number of concussions.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall fears more players will face cards or suspensions due to "accidents".
His counterparts at Ulster and Ospreys have also voiced concerns.
Contact with the head in "reckless tackles" will be penalised with at least a yellow card.
"Players get bigger over the years, creating bigger impacts," Pearson said.
"Unfortunately the laws haven't changed a lot. We have to be looking more and more to protect players within the current laws."
In September 2015, World Rugby's chief medical officer Dr Martin Raftery told the BBC laws may have to change to help reduce the number of injuries to the brain and head.

The new sanctions took effect officially from 3 January, with players at Ospreys, Scarlets and Ulster sin-binned in the Pro12 last weekend, while Saracens duo Richard Barrington and Brad Barritt have been cited for a dangerous tackle that knocked out Exeter Chiefs lock Geoff Parling.
Barrington was sent off for his role in the collision.
Pearson, who refereed 29 Tests, officiated at the 2007 and 2011 World Cups and works as the Scottish Rugby Union's match officials high performance manager, argues officials are not seeking to punish all forms of head contact.
"We all have to realise accidents will happen on the rugby pitch," the 50-year-old told BBC Scotland. "What we're trying to do with these is get the guy who is targeting the player's head.
"That's the major message - protect the head. There will be tackles where the head contact is made - a player going in low to the ground is pretty difficult to tackle without getting contact somewhere around his upper body.
"That's the kind of tackle that wouldn't be targeting the player's head. The tackles we're after are where players are stood up and you can see the big swinging arm coming in around the upper shoulders, neck, chin, and head area."
The application and timing of the tighter punishments have also drawn criticism, with former Wales fly-half Jonathan Davies saying inexperienced referees have "gone berserk" with their policing of the tackle.
Rugby Players Association chairman Christian Day argues the "massive" mid-season changes have come with "little education or explanation" for players, with the decisive rounds of European Champions and Challenge Cup pool fixtures coming later this month and the Six Nations Championship beginning on 4 February.
Pearson accepts the game may have to endure short-term controversies to provide its players with a safer future.
"This isn't really new", he said. "The directives have come out in the press recently as new, but the referees right back to November had this kind of message.
"One thing that has to be clear is they're not really law changes, they're just enforcing the law a bit tighter than previously. The analogy we're using is, if you're driving and you're caught speeding, the speed limit's the same - all that happens now is the fine's a little bit more hefty.
"We've had November, December, and we're halfway through January - we've had a fair bit of time to be able to adjust to them.
"There were a lot of examples [of players adjusting] over the weekend where rather than going in high to hit a player, one tackler goes in round the legs, another player stands off and tries to jackal the ball as soon as that player hits the floor.
"The professional players are training four or five times a week, they'll adapt pretty quickly. I would imagine in a couple of months' time, we'll not be talking about this subject. We'll have moved on to something else."
Gateshead midfielder JJ O'Donnell, 23, is suffering from Sesamoiditis, a condition which causes inflammation in the bones under his toes.
After an online appeal he has reached the £7,000 needed for surgery which could help him resume his career.
"Hope the operation is a success," Gateshead-born Graham, 29, wrote.
O'Donnell - formerly of Luton Town - had thanked Gateshead for their support in funding treatment when the Conference club explained it could no longer pay.
A group of supporters began fundraising on 2 May and an online charity appeal was set up for donations, with Graham's paid on Monday.
O'Donnell, who has never met Graham, tweeted: "Three weeks ago I was totally lost and hopeless. I'll forever be in great debt and appreciate every single penny.
"I'm not singling Danny out as without everybody I'd not have reached my target, but a donation like that has left me speechless.
"Premier League players take a lot of stick about being role models but this shows just how much of a role model someone can be."
The Cardiff Children's Literature Festival features talks from leading authors and illustrators, while writers have also been going into schools.
Well-known names lined up include comedian and Young Bond author Charlie Higson and Horrible Histories illustrator Martin Brown.
The event, which runs to Sunday, takes place at venues around the city centre.
"This is such an exciting event for the city, and a wonderful addition to our programme," said Cardiff council cabinet member for culture, Huw Thomas.
"We've seen the power that books have to fire youngsters' imaginations, and so we have assembled some of the most popular figures in children's literature in both English and Welsh to bring this to life in March and to enthuse and inspire youngsters to read."
Those taking part include How to Train Your Dragon creator Cressida Cowell, Tintin expert Michael Farr, Wales children's poet laureate Eurig Salisbury and young people's laureate for Wales Catherine Fisher.
Tracy Beaker author Jacqueline Wilson was due to take part but had to cancel due to illness.
Sarah Edmonds of Literature Wales - one of the partner organisations of the festival along with Cardiff council, Cardiff University and the National Museum of Wales - said the aim was to create a love of reading and writing.
"We're trying to broaden literature as much as possible to make it accessible," she told BBC Radio Wales.
"We've got graphic novels, picture books, we've even got a zombie walk based on Dan Anthony's trilogy The Rugby Zombies."
She said the aim was also to put Cardiff on the "literary festival map because it is such a creative and bookish place".
Writing workshops in schools also form a significant part of the event.
"We've also got an exhibition at the festival which is celebrating and showcasing work produced by the schools over the last couple of months," said Ms Edmonds.
"Throughout the spring term, we've had authors and illustrators going into schools and doing workshops so we're displaying all that work."
It marks the third call-back of electric cars over recent weeks.
Earlier this month, Nissan revealed it needed to reprogramme the software that controls its Leaf vehicles' brakes. Days later, Renault said it needed to check and replace faulty brake hoses on its Zoe cars.
The problems appear to be unrelated.
But one expert suggested that the fact that the technology involved in electric cars was both new and complex made the announcements unsurprising.
"The Volkswagen recall is more serious than the others, but even so I wouldn't say there's a fundamental problem," said Jay Nagley , managing director of the Redspy auto consultancy.
"Yes there are teething troubles, but the great thing about electric cars is they don't catch fire - they are the only product I know of, fitted with lithium-ion batteries, for which that is the case."
Details of the VW recall were posted online by the US's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
It said there had been complaints of vehicles stalling unexpectedly, which could "increase the risk of a crash".
The documents state that the German manufacturer had acknowledged that its cars' battery management system could "inadvertently classify a brief internal electrical current surge/peak as a critical battery condition".
The result, it said, was that the battery shut down, which in turn deactivated the motor.
The e-Golf first went on sale in the US in late 2014, and the callback involves all 5,561 of the vehicles shipped to the country, including 157 that are as yet unsold.
The fix involves installing an update to the cars' battery management software, so that its diagnostic check becomes "less sensitive".
A spokesman for the firm was unable to say if it had plans to ask customers in other parts of the world to bring their cars in for the same fix.
Nissan's fault was reported by the same US agency.
The NHTSA said that during cold temperatures, a part used in the Nissan Leaf's electronic brake booster could freeze, requiring more effort to bring the vehicles to a halt.
"Longer distances or additional brake effort would be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash," said its report.
The Japanese firm had already told mechanics to address the issue via a software upgrade when the cars were brought in for a service.
But after Canada's transport watchdog urged Nissan in February to upgrade this to a full North American recall, it complied.
"Electric cars use regenerative braking, which is pretty novel, using energy to recharge the battery from the act of braking," commented Mr Nagley.
"It does make the system an awful lot more complicated than simply adding a pad to a disk.
"So, it's not totally surprising there are problems. But the Leaf is the bestselling and longest established electric car and they have earned a pretty good reputation."
A total of 47,538 Leaf cars - manufactured between November 2012 and July 2015 - require the new code, the vast majority of which are in the US.
Renault's recall is being implemented worldwide.
The French firm said on 24 March that it needed to check the position of the Zoe's brake fluid hose to ensure it would not be damaged by coming into contact with a part designed to protect the vehicle's front wheel arch.
The company said it was not aware of any accidents.
The announcement affects 10,649 of the vehicles - including about 1,000 in the UK - which represents about one in four of the total number sold to date.
Attention on the electric car sector will be raised again later this week when Tesla announces its first model targeted at the mass market.
The California-based carmaker is expected to confirm its Model 3 will cost about $30,000 (£20,100).
The company has largely avoided the need to ask for its cars to be taken off the roads because it can issue "over-the-air" software updates.
These have included a fix issued in 2013 to make its cars' suspension provide more clearance over roads when travelling at high speeds.
However, the firm did recall its Model S vehicles last November to carry out a seatbelt inspection.
Deputy Chief Constable Dawn Copley will return to her substantive role while another candidate is sought, police and crime commissioner Alan Billings said.
Mrs Copley was made chief after the suspension of David Crompton following the Hillsborough inquests.
She had been investigated over her conduct with another force.
Dr Billings said Mrs Copley did not want "any further negative publicity or criticism to be levelled at the force" and would step down "in the interests of the force and the workforce".
"Mrs Copley will need to stay in post for a very short period of time to deal with pressing matters but, at her request, this will be for the shortest possible period."
While Assistant Chief Constable at Greater Manchester Police, Mrs Copley was in charge of the force's professional standards branch which investigated Ch Insp John Buttress over alleged mortgage fraud.
A criminal case against Ch Insp Buttress was thrown out in 20 minutes, but the force pursued a case of gross misconduct against him and he was eventually sacked.
Mr Buttress claimed he was the victim of "corrupt practice" within the force's anti-corruption unit and complained about misconduct within the force.
Dr Billings said Mrs Copley had "fully declared the details of allegations into her conduct" when she applied for the post of deputy chief constable at South Yorkshire Police.
The report of an investigation by Kent Police into the matter has been given to Greater Manchester Police for consideration.
SeaWorld CEO Joel Manby said in a statement on Thursday that his company would no longer use such practices.
The revelation came out after a worker from the San Diego park was discovered posing as an activist last year.
The company has faced intense criticism by animal rights activists who say it is enslaving marine animals at its 11 parks across the US.
"The board has directed that the company's management team end a practice in which certain employees posed as animal rights activists," Mr Manby announced on Thursday.
He said the decision to send people undercover was "to maintain the safety and security of company employees, customers, and animals in the face of credible threats that the company had received".
SeaWorld employee Paul McComb was briefly suspended in July after the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) accused him of trying to incite violence among peaceful protesters whilst posting as an activist.
But SeaWorld announced on Thursday that he has since returned to work in a different department.
PETA says the company's refusal to dismiss Mr McComb shows that it condones corporate spying.
SeaWorld has been struggling with falling visitor numbers across its parks in the US since a critical documentary film, Blackfish, was released three years ago.
In December it announced plans to phase out controversial public displays by killer whales, which have been the centrepiece at three parks operated in California, Florida and Texas.
Animal rights activists argue keeping the mammals - also known as orcas - in captivity is cruel and unnecessary.
The 2014 world downhill mountain bike champion has signed a two-year contract with Radon after six years with left Madison Saracen.
The 23-year-old Welsh rider resumed training before Christmas after breaking a collarbone in September.
"I went over to visit the new team in Germany at the end of last year and it feels like it's going to be a good year," Carpenter told BBC Radio Wales.
"I'd been with Madison Saracen quite a long time really I think with a race team people tend to move around a little bit and I guess I just fancied a change really.
"It was really good being part of Madison Saracen, they kind of brought me up from a junior into the elite ranks ranks and made it possible for me to get where I am today.
"It's kind of cool being part of an international team - I quite liked the idea of that - and I get to do a few more international races."
The 2017 Downhill World Cup starts in Lourdes, France on April 29-30.
The 21-year-old has been summonsed to court following a fight at Livello in October.
Police said "a large altercation" broke out at the club which resulted in a number of people being arrested.
The Jamaican-born winger, who has made five first-team appearances for the EFL Championship leaders, is due in court on 4 April.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said one man was taken to hospital with facial injuries.
Two other men, aged 21 and 22, and two women aged 23 and 45 have also been summonsed for violent disorder.
Two men, aged 22 and 23, have been summonsed for violent disorder and assault.
All seven have been granted bail.
Aarons, who joined the Magpies in 2012, made his first senior outing during pre-season in July 2014 and scored away at German club Schalke.
He has been unable to play since November as the result of a knee injury.
Central midfielder Cullen, 19, made his Premier League debut as a substitute for the Hammers during their 3-0 victory at Liverpool last August.
He has also represented the Republic of Ireland at under-21 level, making five appearances in total.
Cullen will be available for Bradford's League One game at Peterborough on Saturday.

The technology could give devices even faster access to the internet, as the BBC's Robin Markwell explains.
On Wednesday, a jury concluded Mr Duggan was lawfully killed when he was shot dead by police in August 2011.
Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe thanked Mr Duggan's family for "expressing their desire to pursue their case peacefully".
Mr Duggan's death in Tottenham, north London, sparked widespread disorder.
The killing of the 29-year-old was followed by protests which descended into looting and rioting in the capital and spread to other cities in England.
Earlier, his aunt Carole Duggan said: "No demonstrations, no more violence, we will have to fight this and go through the struggle peacefully to get justice."
Sir Bernard said: "I would first like to record my thanks to Mark's family for expressing their desire to pursue their case peacefully, and discouraging further demonstrations or protests.
"That's a very dignified way to respond in what are clearly very distressing circumstances for them."
Following the conclusion of the inquest, the family reacted with anger to the jury's decision that officers had acted within the law.
Ms Duggan has called for the Independent Police Complaints Commission to review the case.
Sir Bernard said meetings with political and community leaders on Thursday had shown him the "tremendous determination there is to strengthen relationships with the Met".
"The leaders I met are committed to work hard with us to ensure that their community is not disrupted now as it was in 2011," he said.
He added the force wanted "more black Londoners amongst our neighbourhood police officers" and had "more to do to further reduce the use of stop and search".
Prime Minster David Cameron welcomed Carole Duggan's message of restraint, but stressed the outcome of the inquest had to be respected.
He said: "These issues raise very strong emotions but I hope people can react calmly and recognise that we have proper judicial processes in this country and they are the ones that must be followed.
"I very much respect Mark Duggan's aunt for saying pursue the case in the courts and not the street."
Mr Cameron did admit more work was needed to improve race relations.
"There's still racial prejudice in our country, there's still discrimination," he said.

How did the Duggan jury come to a conclusion that critics say is baffling and perverse?
It comes down to their judgement of what happened in the heat of the moment.
Police can't gun down a suspect just because they think he is an armed gangster.
They are governed by the same law as the rest of us, which says we are each entitled to use reasonable force to defend ourselves or another from injury.
Reasonable force depends on the circumstances.
The shooter told the jury he believed Mark Duggan was holding a gun and was going to pull the trigger.
Even though the jury found that Mr Duggan probably threw away the gun as police surrounded him, eight of them concluded the officer's use of force was proportionate because of his perception of the threat.
That's why a majority decided Mr Duggan was lawfully killed.
"But I think what you can see is governments...trying to break down these barriers and end discrimination and make sure people are valued for the passion in their heart and the thoughts their head, rather than the colour of their skin."
Meanwhile it has emerged the names of the ten jurors who delivered the verdict are to remain confidential.
The seven women and three men, who come from the north London boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Enfield, Harrow and Haringey, have been offered counselling which is routine in cases deemed to be of a sensitive nature.
During a brief hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice on Thursday, lawyers for the family did not say whether they would challenge the court's conclusion.
Under the law, Mr Duggan's family have three months to bring a judicial review at the High Court, although his aunt said the four-month inquest had left them devastated.
"The family are still in shock right now about the results of yesterday," she said.
"We are in turmoil and we don't really know what is going to happen at this point."
Mark Duggan's family are planning to hold a candlelit vigil for him this weekend.
The Reverend Nims Obunge, a pastor in Tottenham who knows the family, said: "It is a vigil in remembrance and respecting the life or the death of Mark Duggan.
"His family, his children, will be there and we don't expect anybody to come... to create unrest or anarchy."
BBC News correspondent Mike Sergeant, who is in Tottenham, said a friend of Mr Duggan had emphasised the damage that the violence in 2011 did not just to the police officers involved, but to all of the businesses and people in the wider community.
He said there was no desire to see that repeated.
Ms Duggan confirmed there are no plans at present for the family to discuss the case with police officials.
Earlier on Thursday the IPCC said it was "working closely with the Duggan family solicitor to arrange an urgent family meeting" and it was hoped this would take place "in the early part of next week".
After the inquest concluded, Ms Duggan took to the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice and shouted: "No justice, no peace."
She explained the slogan was about the continued fight to discover what happened to her nephew.
"We will want answers. So it is like the struggle will go on, peacefully," she said.
"But we will not give peace to the authorities until we get justice.
"We will still be here for as long as it takes."
However the Met's Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley thinks a further legal appeal is not necessary.
"The legal process has concluded, a coroner's court jury has come to verdict. There is always the High Court to appeal and that is their decision," he said.
"I think we now need to look forward and work with communities on how we can strengthen things further, building on the work we have done on the last two years."
As part of this process the Met is to trial firearms officers wearing video cameras from 1 April in an attempt to be "more open".
Mr Rowley will be questioned by the Home Affairs Select Committee on Tuesday on police communications and lessons learned.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson stressed it was important to note that armed response units operate in highly pressurised situations.
"What I hope that underscores for us in London is the massive restraint of our police in the way they handle the use of force," he said.
He stated that armed police were called out around 10,000 times in the last four years but had only fired on six occasions.
Their reporting was based on documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

How the US spy scandal unravelled
Profile: Edward Snowden
In giving the top prize to The Guardian US and the Washington Post, the Pulitzer committee said the Guardian helped "through aggressive reporting to spark a debate about the relationship between the government and the public over issues of security and privacy".
It said the Post's stories were "marked by authoritative and insightful reports that helped the public understand how the disclosures fit into the larger framework of naional security".
Mr Snowden, in a statement published by The Guardian, called the award "a vindication for everyone who believes that the public has a role in government.
"We owe it to the efforts of the brave reporters and their colleagues who kept working in the face of extraordinary intimidation," added Mr Snowden, who has been charged with espionage in the US and is currently a fugitive in Russia.
Meanwhile, the Boston Globe provided "exhaustive and empathetic coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings and the ensuing manhunt that enveloped the city", the committee wrote of the paper's coverage of the 15 April 2013 attack.
Chris Hamby of the Center for Public Integrity was awarded a Pulitzer for his reporting on how lawyers and doctors conspired to deny benefits to coal miners stricken with black lung disease.
The top prize for US reporting was awarded to The Gazette in Colorado for its examination of mistreatment of wounded combat veterans, while the prize for international reporting went to Reuters for reports of persecution of a Muslim minority group in Burma, also known as Myanmar.
The editorial staff of the Oregonian in Portland won the prize for commentary for pieces explaining pension costs.
Tyler Hicks of the New York Times won for breaking news photography for images captured during a terrorist attack at Westgate Mall in Kenya. Also for the Times, Josh Haner won in the feature photography category for a "moving" essay on a Boston Marathon bomb blast victim who lost most of both legs.
Among other categories, Donna Tartt, author of The Goldfinch, was awarded the Pulitzer for fiction writing, while Don Fagin received the award for general nonfiction for his work, Tom's River: A Story of Science and Salvation.
Members of this year's selection committee included Katherine Boo, a staff writer for The New Yorker, and Eugene Robinson, a columnist for The Washington Post.
Dersalloch wind farm, located on Dersalloch Hill, between Straiton and Dalmellington, has 23 turbines with a capacity of 69MW of electricity.
It is first of eight onshore wind farm projects, worth more than £650m, being delivered by ScottishPower Renewables.
They will have a combined total of 221 turbines, capable of generating almost 500MW - enough to power 130,000 homes.
Keith Anderson, chief executive of ScottishPower Renewables, said he was delighted to see Dersalloch wind farm starting its operational life.
"It has always had the potential to be a significant renewable energy project and, combined with the other wind farms we are currently constructing, will play a significant part in the future of Scotland's energy production," he said.
Harry Studley was taken to Bristol Children's Hospital with a head injury after he was shot at a block of flats in Bishport Avenue, Hartcliffe, Bristol, on Friday afternoon.
Police said the shooting was a "potentially negligent act".
A man, 24, and a woman, 23, who are not related to the baby, have been arrested in connection with the shooting.
Harry's parents Amy Allen and Edward Studley said in a statement issued through the police: "We very much appreciate the help and support of our family, friends and local community at this very difficult time.
"We are concentrating our focus on our son Harry's recovery and would appreciate if we could have our privacy respected in order to allow us to do so."
Police, who believe Harry received the injury from one pellet, say they are not looking for anyone else.
Det Insp Jonathan Deane, from Avon and Somerset Police, said officers were focusing on "unravelling the full circumstances leading up to this tragedy".
He added: "Our thoughts are with the child's family and they are being given all the help and support they need.
"I'd like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding while we carry out our inquiries and reassurance patrols will be carried out tonight and tomorrow.
"If any residents have specific concerns then please speak to your neighbourhood team."
"Operation Wishbone" was launched by Essex Police in the wake of several high-profile domestic-related murders around the UK involving weapons.
Of the 24,500 licensed firearms holders in Essex, 777 were visited by Essex Police to check if it was suitable for them to own guns.
A total of 220 shotguns and firearms were seized.
Earlier this year, licensed shotgun holder Christopher Parry was convicted of murdering his wife by shooting her in the back near her home in Wales.
In October, puppy farmer John Lowe was found guilty of murdering his partner and her daughter in Surrey.
His shotguns and licence had been seized by police but were returned several months later.
Essex Police checked details of licence holders to see if they had ever been the perpetrator of domestic violence, even if they had not been arrested, charged or found guilty.
They prioritised cases, focussing on the highest-risk first, and visiting the holders.
The force's approach was "victim-based", so people could say if they believed their partners or family members should be allowed to keep guns.
"If there were concerns, we took steps to remove guns, ammunition and certificates where we believed there was a danger to public safety," said Chief Insp Tom Simons from Essex Police.
Fifty people gave up their licences or had them revoked, and 86 people were given warnings about how they stored their guns.
Insp Neal Miller, who led the operation, said in future, any incidents where there is a suggestion of the involvement of a licensed firearms holder would be "assessed at the earliest opportunity".
The meal, withdrawn from sale on Tuesday, came from the French factory producing Findus beef lasagne, also at the centre of a row over horsemeat.
Meanwhile, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has told MPs of plans to test all processed beef in the UK.
Romania has rejected claims that it was responsible for wrongly describing horsemeat from its abattoirs as beef.
Tesco took the frozen bolognese off the shelves when it found out Findus was concerned about the source of its meat processed by Comigel, based at Metz, north-eastern France.
It is one of several products that have been withdrawn from UK shelves amid the current scandal over horsemeat in food products in the UK and Europe.
Tesco Group technical director Tim Smith said: "The frozen Everyday Value Spaghetti Bolognese should contain only Irish beef from our approved suppliers. The source of the horsemeat is still under investigation by the relevant authorities.
"The level of contamination suggests that Comigel was not following the appropriate production process for our Tesco product and we will not take food from their facility again.
"We are very sorry that we have let customers down."
Mr Paterson told MPs he had called in representatives of all Britain's producers, retailers and distributors and "made it clear" he expected to see immediate testing of all processed beef products across the supply chain.
He said testing should take place every three months, and the Food Standards Agency should be notified of results.
He told representatives from the British Retail Consortium, the Food and Drink Federation, the British Meat Processors Association, the Federation of Wholesale Distributors, the Institute of Grocery Distribution and individual retailers that he expected to see:
In the Commons, Labour's Mary Creagh accused Mr Paterson of being too slow to respond as incidents emerged.
Q&A: Horsemeat scandal
Healthy alternatives to processed meat
"The secretary of state had to be called back to London from his long weekend to deal with the crisis." she claimed. "Until Saturday's panic summit, he hadn't actually met the food industry to address this crisis."
News of the tests came after the Romanian Prime Minister earlier on Monday denied two abattoirs in his country sold horsemeat purported to be beef to European food companies.
The abattoirs had been linked to the contamination of processed meat products sold in Europe. Victor Ponta said checks were carried out and there had been no breach of rules and standards.
In France, consumer affairs minister Benoit Hamon said that the whole of the food industry would be under heightened surveillance, with more random sampling of products and wider use of DNA tests to determine the origin of meat.
French inspectors were at the Comigel headquarters in Metz in north-eastern France on Monday. Findus meals were made by the company at its Luxembourg factory.
Investigators were also at the offices in the south of France of the importer Spanghero, which brought the meat to France from Romania.
Last week Findus UK took its frozen beef lasagne, made by Comigel, off the shelves after some samples were found to contain up to 100% horsemeat.
Seven French supermarkets have withdrawn frozen ready-meals made by Findus.
And on Monday night, one Dutch supermarket chain took the Prima Frost brand of lasagne produced by Comigel off the shelves, amid fears it may contain horsemeat.
A third of people in the UK who responded to a poll on Monday on their shopping habits said they were less likely to buy processed meat as a result of horsemeat scandal.
A quarter of the 6,221 people who replied said they did not buy processed meat anyway and a further third (36%) said it would not make any difference to their shopping habits.
The poll was conducted by the market research company Kantar.
Mr Paterson said he would meet with his European counterparts and the European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Policy Tonio Borg later this week in the wake of the scandal.
"At the moment this appears to be an issue of fraud and mislabelling.
"But if anything suggests the need for changes to surveillance and enforcement in the UK we will not hesitate to make those changes," he said.
After conceding four in last weekend's loss at Bournemouth, Liverpool shipped two avoidable first-half goals on their way to ceding more ground to Chelsea and Arsenal in the title race.
Adam Lallana's smart low finish had put Liverpool ahead inside five minutes but the visitors were level before the half-hour when goalkeeper Loris Karius - at fault for Bournemouth's winner a week ago - failed to deal with Payet's saveable 25-yard free-kick.
Karius was less culpable for West Ham's second scored by Antonio, but it was a scruffy goal that did not reflect well on a Liverpool backline that has now conceded 20 goals in 15 league games - the worst record among the teams in the top six.
But errors were not the sole preserve of the Liverpool defence, and a big mistake by West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph, dropping a cross into the path of Divock Origi, gifted Liverpool the equaliser.
Randolph made amends with a quite stunning late save to keep out Jordan Henderson's equally sublime strike as West Ham held on for a point that sees them climb to 17th.
Until recently Liverpool's new goalkeeper had largely gone under the radar since joining from manager Jurgen Klopp's former club Mainz in the summer.

After missing the start of the season with a broken hand, Karius was installed as Klopp's number one at the end of September, replacing Simon Mignolet.
The German had a relatively untroubled time of it in his first nine games, although small mistakes were in evidence - but nothing as high-profile as the injury-time spill that allowed Nathan Ake to score Bournemouth's winner last time out.
And the pressure is sure to intensify on the 23-year-old after his part in West Ham's opener, with Payet's free-kick nicely struck but much too central to be considered unstoppable.
West Ham's second goal was also avoidable from Liverpool's perspective.
Havard Nordtveit's hopeful drilled pass from his own half struck the head of the retreating Henderson, deflecting the ball high into the air and wrong-footing Reds centre-back Joel Matip, allowing Antonio in.
The West Ham man might not have had the chance to score had Karius been further advanced in his area, but nothing should be taken away from the finish, a cute poke with the outside of his boot that just had enough force to cross the line.
Liverpool are the top scorers in the Premier League with 37 goals in 15 games, so it is perhaps uncharitable to point the finger at their forward line after this blip.
Yet for all their possession - 68% - they managed just three shots on target in the whole match, with two of those coming from West Ham errors.
The visitors were guilty of snoozing for Liverpool's opener as Sadio Mane picked up the ball in the middle of the park and made unchecked progress to the left wing.
His cross arrived at the feet of Lallana, who had time to control and finish under zero pressure from a static West Ham defence.
Their second was also a gift, Mane's cross inexplicably squirming out of Randolph's gloves and landing perfectly for Origi to score for a fourth successive game in all competitions - the first Liverpool player to do so since Daniel Sturridge in February 2014.
Mane was at the heart of everything good Liverpool did in attack, playing a part in an intricate passing move that ended with a blocked Henderson shot, and then twisting and turning on the edge of the area to create an opening for Georginio Wijnaldum that flew wide.
Wijnaldum also failed to get enough curl on his shot when advancing on goal down the left channel, while Roberto Firmino was guilty of missing the target after good approach play.
Indeed Liverpool's only other shot on target was Henderson's superb long-distance strike, which was reminiscent of his stunning winner against Chelsea in September but met on this occasion by the right hand of the flying Randolph.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "We tried everything. One West Ham goal was a free-kick and one was lucky. They were 2-1 up and we had some great offensive situations and should have had more. We tried everything. We were often in the box, a lot of situations.
"It felt like the whole time we were were in their box. We needed a bit of luck. A draw doesn't feel too good, doesn't feel too bad.
"The goals could have been avoided. For the first goal - don't make the foul, don't lose the ball. The second goal was unlucky. Joel Matip had a fantastic game and in this moment he couldn't clear the ball. Loris Karius was surprised and it was too late.
"Should Karius have saved the free-kick? For this I have to see it again - I only saw it in the match."
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic: "We showed a great reaction after they were one up. In the first half we were very good.
"I wasn't happy with the second half because I expected us to be better on the ball. In the end, well done for the players."
On Darren Randolph's mistake: "It's the nature of their job - when they make a mistake it is obvious. He made a mistake but after and before he showed real quality and he was crucial for us in moments when they had a chance or two."

Households in Bristol will pay 3.95% - in Bath and North East Somerset a rise of 3.25% was agreed while in North Somerset bills will go up by 3.74%.
The new 2% adult social care charge was announced in the government's autumn statement in November 2015.
It is similar to the Police and Fire Authority in that it is designed to be spent of a specific local service.
Included in Bristol City Council's budget is £56m earmarked for capital investment in new and existing council housing and a one-off payment of £500,000 towards the planned Bristol Aerospace Centre, documenting the city's central role in the development of the modern aviation industry.
North Somerset's decision to put up council tax is only the second time the council has agreed to do so in the past six years.
Council leader Nigel Ashton said it was "very much a last resort, but it is a road we have been forced down".
It means the average Band D council tax bill will be £1,208.40 - an increase of less than £1 a week.
In Banes councillors agreed to find £150,000 to upgrade and improve children's play areas and £85,000 to tackle the area's gull problems.
The budget has made £10m of savings - almost a quarter of the £43m needed over the next four years. | One of Europe's largest Nato exercises begins in Scotland this weekend.

London-based Mace will team up with British firm EC Harris to create the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah.
When finished, the structure will stand around 3,280 ft (1km) high, more than three times taller than the Shard.
It will be around 558ft (170m) higher than the current tallest building, the 2,717ft (828m) Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
Construction of the Kingdom Tower, which will overlook the Red Sea, is expected to cost around £780m and take more than five years to complete.
It will consist of a five-star hotel, apartments, office space and an observatory.
Mark Reynolds, chief executive of Mace, said: "Kingdom Tower is a project of international importance and immense ambition and we are delighted to be part of the joint venture team tasked with its delivery."

After Tuesday's session, boss Michael O'Neill said he had "no concerns" about Lafferty's fitness for Sunday's Euro 2016 opener against Poland.
However, Lafferty, 28, was unable to take part in Wednesday's training.
As his team-mates trained Saint-Georges-de-Reneins, Lafferty did a workout on an exercise bike.
Norwich striker Lafferty pulled up in Tuesday morning's training session after appearing to stretch his groin, but O'Neill said it was "just a little twist".
"It was precautionary to take him out of training. We're just being careful," added the Northern Ireland on Tuesday.
"After examination by the doctor, he feels good. We're more concerned about the thunder and lightning, to be honest."

Lafferty was the only member of the Northern Ireland squad to miss training on Wednesday morning as Craig Cathcart and Gareth McAuley took part in the session after not being involved on Tuesday.

He was directed into an ice bath on the side of the pitch at Northern Ireland's training base at Saint-Georges-de-Reneins near Lyon, and afterwards walked gingerly to the changing rooms.

Michael John Fry, 57, of Aigburth Vale, Liverpool pleaded guilty to committing eight offences over an eight-year period ending 1 January 2014.
What began as an administrative failing became "dishonesty" and "an enormous breach of trust", Judge Elizabeth Nicholls told Liverpool Crown Court.
Fry was sentenced to 20 months in jail, suspended for two years.
Fry misled Liverpool diocese about the number of funerals which he had conducted and illegally kept fees from 1,250 parochial funerals.
He spent the money on alcohol, books, and travel, the court heard.
Passing sentence, the judge said "the good you have done in the community outweighs the harm".
She said Fry was a caring and compassionate individual who continued to volunteer with the homeless.
The sums he stole began with £1,751 between December 2005 and January 2007, increasing to £20,049 between December 2011 and January 2013.
He should have sent any fees above his £22,000 annual stipend to the diocese.
Fry's defence lawyer, Martine Snowdon, said the theft was born out of failure to act rather than a scheme devised by him.
Nevertheless, she told the court her client was "deeply remorseful" about failing his peers and society.
Liverpool diocese was originally relaxed about Fry's accounts "given the expectation of honesty and integrity of one of their own", the court was told.
The court heard the money stolen by Fry could have funded four full-time clergy posts.
The Archdeacon of Liverpool, Venerable Ricky Panter, said the "scale of the fraud is staggering" but the church is "pleased" he has been given a suspended sentence.
He said he was "immensely sad and felt let down" but "knows Michael and the demons he has fought against", adding: "I'm looking for him to resume some kind of ministry in the future."
Fry was a member of the St Luke in the City Team, which included three parish churches - St Michael's on Upper Pitt Street, St Bride's on Percy Street and St Dunstan's on Earle Road.
He resigned from his post early in 2014.
Ex-Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti is shadow attorney general and Keir Starmer, who left the team in June amid a wave of resignations, returns as shadow Brexit secretary.
But Dame Rosie Winterton, who had tried to negotiate between Mr Corbyn and many of his MPs, is out as chief whip.
Mr Corbyn's critics have suggested the reshuffle will fail to unify the party.
One senior figure said the reshuffle so far looked "vengeful and cack-handed", and Middlesbrough South MP Tom Blenkinsop accused Mr Corbyn of "seeking submission not unity".
Another MP, Neil Coyle, told BBC Radio 5 live that Dame Rosie's work during a difficult period for Labour had been "underestimated".
He said that, despite everything, "the parliamentary votes have been fairly coherent and that's a direct result of someone who is a unifying figure - and that's Rosie as chief whip."
It is understood that some Labour MPs who were thinking about returning to the front bench are now reconsidering.
But Mr Corbyn's team denied the reshuffle was divisive, saying other MPs who resigned will be returning to shadow cabinet roles later.
A Labour spokesman said: "Jeremy has today spoken to a number of colleagues in the Parliamentary Labour Party and will continue to do so throughout the day. He has begun the process of appointing a new frontbench team."
Jo Stevens, who has been brought in as the new shadow Welsh secretary, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that she thought Mr Corbyn had reached out to unify the party.
"I was one of the senior people in Owen Smith's leadership campaign and he's offered me a place on the shadow cabinet," she said.
"The Labour Party is a collective and we're there to hold the government to account," she added. "That's why I stayed in my post in the summer and accepted the job yesterday."
Ms Stevens said there would be opportunities on "plenty of issues" to unite the party against the Tories.
Mr Corbyn had promised to unite his party following his re-election as leader last month.
Some posts have been vacant since the resignations in the aftermath of June's EU referendum in protest at his leadership.
Former Director of Public Prosecutions Mr Starmer stood down from his shadow Home Office minister post in June. He will now join shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry, shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner, new shadow economic secretary Jonathan Reynolds and shadow chancellor John McDonnell on Labour's "shadow Brexit team".
As well as moving Ms Abbott from shadow health secretary and Ms Stevens, Sarah Champion has been made shadow women and equalities minister.
Announcing the changes to his top team, Mr Corbyn leader said in a statement: "I am delighted to confirm the appointments of four extremely talented women to our shadow cabinet.
"These appointments mean, for the first time ever, two out of the three traditional 'great offices of state' will be shadowed by women."
He added that his front bench would include 10 Labour MPs from the north of England and five black or ethnic minority MPs.
Ms Abbott said of her new role: "I am honoured to serve. My first job when I left university was as a graduate trainee in the Home Office, so my career has come full circle."
The position was vacated by Andy Burnham who quit to run in the Greater Manchester mayoral election.

Jeremy Corbyn's reshuffle sees big promotions for two women seen as his allies - Diane Abbott and Shami Chakrabarti, a year after he was criticised for not putting women in top shadow cabinet roles.
But the real significance is not who is in - it is who is out. The very popular chief whip, Rosie Winterton, has been sacked. She was seen as someone, behind the scenes, who stood up for MPs' interests against the party leader- and who had been working hard to broker a compromise on shadow cabinet elections.
She believed that many more MPs might return to the frontbench if they were answerable to colleagues and not just to the leader. So many Labour MPs tonight are expressing disappointment that she has gone.
And it is interesting that Clive Lewis, the shadow defence secretary who, unlike Jeremy Corbyn, saw no pressing need to challenge Trident renewal, has been shifted to become shadow business secretary.
One senior party figure has called the reshuffle "cack handed and vindictive". Unity has not yet broken out in the Labour Party.
Conservative MP Luke Hall said Ms Abbott's appointment showed Labour had "lost touch with ordinary working-class people". He said: "By appointing a shadow home secretary who disagrees with the public, and her own party, about the need to control our own borders, Labour have abandoned the centre ground."
Baroness Chakrabarti, who was recently made a Labour peer, joins the shadow cabinet for the first time.
Accepting the shadow cabinet role, she said it was "an enormous privilege", and added: "I hope to follow in a great tradition of law officers on both sides of the aisle who have defended rights, freedoms and the rule of law."
Mr Corbyn has also created a new position, shadow minister for black and minority ethnic communities, and appointed Dawn Butler to the role.
New opposition chief whip Nick Brown, who served in the same role under both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, said he hoped to "bring experience" and "play a constructive role" in providing the "strongest possible opposition" to the Conservative government.
Dame Rosie, who was opposition chief whip since 2010, said it had been an "honour" to do the job and thanked the whips and the Parliamentary Labour Party for their support.
Mr Corbyn paid tribute to her "six years' exceptional service" and said she had played "an outstanding role in her support for me as leader and for the Labour Party as a whole".
But the Opposition Whips' office are said to be "deeply saddened" by her departure.
BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said he understood Dame Rosie did not leave her job voluntarily, and that there was "some significance" to her removal.
She had been trying to get a deal agreed on shadow cabinet elections and was seen as a "bulwark against attempts to deselect MPs that disagreed with Mr Corbyn".
Several prominent Labour figures took to Twitter to thank Dame Rosie for her work, including former leader Ed Miliband and former deputy leader Harriet Harman.
A number of MPs unhappy with Mr Corbyn's leadership have said they could not serve in his shadow cabinet, including his former challenger Owen Smith.
Others are said to be considering serving under the leader if he reinstates elections to the shadow cabinet, which were axed by former leader Ed Miliband in 2011.
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn has told the BBC that there will be no shadow cabinet elections before November.
Scott Falconer, 20, Bruce Owens, 19, and Cameron Henry, 17, caused £40,000 of damage at the city cemetery between 15 and 17 July 2011.
They were caught after police received pictures showing the vandals at work.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court, all three men were ordered to carry out 126 hours of unpaid work.
Passing sentence, Sheriff Alayne Swanson branded the damage they caused in the Necropolis "absolutely disgusting".
At an earlier hearing, Falconer, from Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, and Henry from Carluke, South Lanarkshire, pleaded guilty to maliciously spray painting racist remarks and slogans on various headstones.
Owens, from Cranhill, Glasgow, admitted the same offence as well as kicking over and damaging headstones.
The court heard how two gardeners discovered the damage at the cemetery on 17 July 2011.
Swastikas were sprayed on some headstones, along with slogans such as "white power", "dubba", and "punks dead ha".
Some headstones had been kicked over and damaged and there was also smashed glass from broken bottles.
The court was told that on 27 July police received an anonymous email with photographs showing people at the Necropolis that linked them to the case.
Pictures were circulated and Owens was identified as one of the people in the photographs.
Further investigations through Facebook identified Henry as one of the accused and subsequently Falconer.
Timothy Tyrone Foster was convicted of molesting and killing a white 79-year-old retired schoolteacher in 1987.
But the court on Thursday overturned his conviction after ruling that the prosecution had broken the law.
Foster may now face a retrial, 29 years after his death sentence.
A law introduced in 1986 made it illegal in the US to pick jurors based on the colour of their skin.
But the following year all four black members of the potential jury pool in Foster's case were struck from the pool by prosecutors, leaving an all-white jury.
Non race-related reasons were given for striking the black members of the pool, but prosecution notes released to Foster's lawyers in 2006 revealed racial motivations, the Supreme Court said.
The notes show that the prosecution marked the names of black prospective jurors with a "B", highlighted them in green, and circled the word "black" on their juror questionnaires, Reuters news agency reported.
According to Foster's lawyer, Stephen Bright, one handwritten note titled "Definite Nos" listed six people, of whom five were the remaining black prospective jurors, the Associated Press reported.
The sixth was a white woman who made clear she would never impose the death penalty, Mr Bright said.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the notes "plainly belie the state's claim that it exercised its strikes in a 'colour blind' manner".
The eight justices of the Court voted 7-1 in Foster's favour. The sole dissenter was Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative and the only black member of the court.
Foster, who was 18 at the time of the murder, was accused of breaking into the home of Queen Madge White, breaking her jaw, sexually molesting her and then strangling her, before stealing items from her house.
It means the BBC could lose coverage of the Games in the UK from 2022, although Eurosport's parent company Discovery may lease back some of the rights.
The European rights are currently split up, country by country.
The deal will be effective for most of Europe from 2018, and in France and the UK from 2022.
Discovery and Eurosport confirmed they will develop a new Olympic TV Channel across Europe.
Media watchdog Ofcom lists the Olympics as a category A event, which must have live coverage made available to free-to-air channels.
In a statement, Discovery said it was committed to broadcasting a minimum of 200 hours of the Olympic Games and 100 hours of the Olympic Winter Games on free-to-air television, during the games period.
Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee, said: "The revenue generated from this long-term partnership will be redistributed by the IOC across the Olympic Movement to support the development of sport around the world."
The BBC had in previous years been awarded the rights as part of a deal between the IOC and a group of public broadcasters across Europe.
If the BBC wants to broadcast the Olympics in future it will now have to negotiate with a rival broadcaster, Discovery.
The BBC said the Olympic Games remain "a priority" and that it has already secured the TV, radio and online rights to the next three Games in 2016, 2018 and 2020.
It will be "seeking further discussions with Discovery about the UK free-to-air rights to the 2022 and 2024 Olympic Games in due course".
"More than 90% of the UK population watched the BBC's coverage of London 2012 and it remains one of the most popular free-to-air, sporting events for UK viewers," the BBC said.
"It is not unprecedented for sports rights to be sold on a pan-territory basis, and the BBC has acquired other sports rights via sub-licensing deals with either agencies or broadcasters," it added.
In a conference call with the BBC, Mr Bach, said: "Public broadcasters have played a significant role in spreading the Games and broadcasting the Games... (but) Eurosport has contributed a lot to this in the past.
"In Great Britain, BBC has the rights to 2020. There is ample time before 2022 and 2024 to have discussions with Discovery about their cooperation. This deal at the moment is not excluding anyone, but it is showing a new broader approach to Olympic broadcasting."
The first Olympics to be broadcast on the BBC came from London in 1948. Since then, it has broadcast the Games continuously since Rome 1960.
The 2016 Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and the 2018 Winter Olympics will be Pyeongchang, South Korea, while 2020's event will take place in Tokyo, Japan.
The host city for the 2022 Winter Olympics will be announced at the end of July.
Labour's Anne McTaggart has support from MSPs of all parties for her bill.
The current "opt-in" system requires a proactive choice by an individual to register to become an organ donor on their death.

The new legislation would mean people would have to actively opt out or else their name would be added to the NHS Organ Donation Register.
Under the terms of the "soft opt-out" system, families of deceased patients would be given a say on donation if they could confirm their relative had made an unrecorded objection during their lifetime.
Ms McTaggart, who introduced the bill, cited evidence which said that three people died every day across the UK waiting for a transplant. She claimed her legislation could save lives.
"That's what the bill is about. It's about making more organs available to people who need them, ultimately," she said.
According to the government, there has been a 63% increase in the number of transplants carried out on Scottish patients since 2007.
Maureen Watt, minister for public health, said: "There is currently no consensus amongst experts as to whether this would make a significant difference and the international evidence is not clear.
"However the Scottish government welcomes any debate in relation to the important issues of organ donation and transplantation."
Ms Watt added: "In Scotland we lead the UK in increasing donation and transplantation numbers.
"The transplant waiting list is now at its lowest level to date. In addition, 41% of Scots are signed up to the NHS Organ Donor Register - the highest percentage of any of the four UK countries."
Ms McTaggart hosted an event at Parliament to mark the formal introduction of the bill, which was attended by representatives of a number of medical organisations including the British Medical Association (BMA), the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Scottish Kidney Federation, as well as transplant recipients and their families.
Ms McTaggart said she was "delighted" with the event, and the introduction of the bill.
"There's still a long way to go in the legislative process but I'm confident that the overwhelming evidence in favour of my proposals will ensure the success of my bill," she said.
Scottish TV presenter Lorraine Kelly, who had previously offered support, reiterated her backing for the bill via a video message where she stated that being an organ donor was a "unique opportunity for people to leave behind an amazing gift."
The BMA welcomed the publication of the bill. In a statement, Dr Sue Robertson, a member of the BMA's Scottish Council and a renal physician, said: "The whole transplant community works tremendously hard to increase the levels of organ donation with significant support from the Scottish government, but there are still people in Scotland waiting for an organ transplant.
"We believe that more can be done and more lives can be saved and this bill represents a positive step towards that goal," she added.
The British Heart Foundation also backs the bill.
None of the bombs detonated in January 1966, but three fell around Palomares and a fourth was found on the sea bed.
Highly toxic plutonium was spread over a 200-hectare (490-acre) area.
On a visit to Madrid, Secretary of State John Kerry agreed to finalise a deal on disposing of contaminated soil.
Under the agreement in principle, signed by Mr Kerry and Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, the US will remove the soil at Palomares to a site in the US.
Spanish media said the soil would be transported to a site in Nevada. The deal comes a few months before the 50th anniversary of the crash, one of the most serious nuclear incidents of the Cold War.
An earlier consignment of contaminated soil was shipped to a site in South Carolina shortly after the accident and buried in deep trenches.
But further analysis of soil in the area has been carried out in recent years, and the health of residents in the Palomares area is still being monitored.

Simon Murray shot Dundee United ahead on 50 minutes, racing clear and slotting a shot under Robbie Thomson.
Soon after, Murray smacked the post with a looping shot, while Thomson did well to keep out a Tony Andreu effort.
Luke Leahy nodded in a James Craigen free-kick and the Bairns almost snatched victory when Scott Shepherd hit the post from close range.
The top four all drew, with Hibs and Morton sharing the same scoreline at Cappielow.
The Greenock side can overtake the Bairns if they win their game at hand against local rivals St Mirren on Tuesday, while United can close to within a point of Falkirk if they beat Dunfermline on the same evening.
The first half at Tannadice was a tepid affair, with very little goalmouth action.
However, United were roused by Murray's smart break and finish and they will rue a series of missed chances.
Leahy's header arrived on 83 minutes, with Peter Houston's side then going on to look the likelier side in the closing stages.

Mr Assange sought refuge at the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over sex assault allegations.
On Friday, there was a U-turn from Swedish prosecutors who offered to travel to London to interview him.
Sympathisers with placards are expected to gather outside the embassy later.
Mr Assange sought asylum at the Ecuadorean Embassy on 19 June 2012 shortly after the supreme court rejected his final appeal against extradition.
He is wanted for questioning relating to one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation, and one count of rape against two women in 2010.
Mr Assange denies the allegations and has said they are part of a smear campaign against him.
He argues that if he is sent to Sweden, he could then be extradited to the US where he fears he will face the death penalty for publishing leaked US diplomatic cables.
For 1,000 days he has remained in a small room with a bed, sun lamp, computer, shower, treadmill and cooking facilities, the BBC's Jon Ironmonger said.
Last month, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe admitted the total cost of guarding the Embassy had exceeded £10 million.
The new owners have undertaken a review and feel there are "areas of duplication" and are, so far, unable to find alternative roles for 14 people.
Concerns about the future of Dee Valley's 166 workers were raised before February's takeover.
Severn Trent are "in consultation" with workers over possible redundancies.
North Wales AMs Mark Isherwood and Llyr Gruffydd have highlighted fears about the future of the employees of Dee Valley, which has 230,000 customers across the Wrexham and Chester areas.
Before the takeover, First Minister Carwyn Jones had said he would "not support any change that would mean the loss of Welsh jobs".
But Severn Trent have announced possible job losses, which are mainly "support roles", two months since the High Court ruled they could take over Dee Valley Water.
"While the vast majority of employees remain unaffected, it's inevitable that there are areas of duplication when you bring two businesses together," continued the Severn Trent statement.
"We're currently in a consultation period. There are 14 people we've not been able to find alternative roles for so far but we continue to work with them during this period.
"If they're left without a role at the end of this time we'll then offer outplacement support, as well as contacting local employers and local government on their behalf."
Mr Isherwood, Conservative AM for north Wales, recently attended a meeting of the Consumer Council for Water Wales where he sought assurances Dee Valley customers and staff would not be adversely affected by the takeover.
Afterwards, he said: "They told us that they wanted to give everyone in the team at Dee Valley Water at least three options, that they had spoken to them on an individual basis and that just 14 out of 166 team members only had the option of voluntary redundancy.
"They told me team members still have a month before they have to come back with their decisions and that this information would then be shared with us.
"We were told that they remain committed to Dee Valley's Wrexham and Chester sites."
Mr Gruffydd, Plaid Cymru AM for north Wales, has written to Severn Trent asking whether more Dee Valley workers will face redundancy, whether Severn Trent workers are at risk of redundancy and how many staff at their Rhostyllen call centre will face redundancy next year.
"The takeover clearly meant that jobs would be lost at Dee Valley, which is why I was opposed to the proposal," he said.
"This process has begun and my priority now is to ensure that workers in Wrexham don't find themselves at a disadvantage when competing for jobs within the company."
The Manual for the Non-sexist Use of Language is being distributed to government offices across Mexico.
It seeks to reduce comments that enforce gender stereotypes, as well as the default use of the masculine form in the Spanish language.
The manual was written by a body that tackles violence against women.
In its introduction, the manual describes itself as "a tool to familiarize federal public workers with the use of non-sexist strategies in the Spanish language".
It discourages the use of phrases such as: "If you want to work, why did you have children," and: "You are prettier when you keep quiet".
It also advises against referring to women as possessions, as in phrases such as "Pedro's woman".
The manual says workers should avoiding using the masculine form in the Spanish language when it is not appropriate.
"It is very common for us to use the masculine without knowing the gender of the people we are referring to or - even more incoherently - to use masculine adjectives or professional titles even when we know we are talking about a woman," it explains.
The document was drawn up by the National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women, Conavim.
On International Women's Day on 8 March the Mexican government acknowledged that "insults and harassment" of women remained a problem.
On the same day, women's groups protested against an increase in murders of women because of their gender, a phenomenon known in Mexico as femicide.
They were travelling to work at the airport on Saturday morning when two attackers riding a motorcycle opened fire on their minivan, said Samim Akhalwak, a spokesperson for the Kandahar governor.
The five women were killed, as well as their driver.
The women were in charge of searching female travellers at the airport.
Ahmadullah Faizi, the airport's director, said the women had been concerned about their security after receiving death threats from people who disapproved of their career.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but women in Afghanistan are often targeted by the Taliban.
Mr Faizi said an investigation was under way but no arrests had been made.
According to the Afghan attorney general's office, there were more than 3,700 cases of violence against women in the first eight months of 2016, and 5,000 cases in 2015.
The judge told Sara Ege, 33, she subjected Yaseen Ege to prolonged cruelty and a ferocious beating at home in Pontcanna, Cardiff, in July 2010.
She also set fire to his body, and was convicted after a five-week trial.
Ege collapsed as the sentence was read out at Cardiff Crown Court and had to be helped from the dock.
She was also found guilty of perverting the course of justice and given a four-year sentence for that crime.
Her husband Yousuf Ege, a taxi driver, was cleared of allowing the death of a child by failing to protect him.
Sara Ege had pleaded not guilty to murder and claimed her husband was responsible for Yaseen's death.
Mr Justice Wyn Williams said: "I am satisfied that it was his failure to learn the Koran that day that resulted in the beating that caused his death."
He continued: "On the day of Yaseen's death you had kept him home from school so he could devote himself to his study of the Koran.
"He was memorising passages but on that day Yaseen must have failed in some way and it was that which was a trigger for the beating.
"You killed your own son. At the time of the killing he was particularly vulnerable because of his age and because of his relative physical frailty.
"In killing your son you abused a precious relationship of trust which does and should exist between a parent and a child."
After the sentencing, a serious case review was published, making seven recommendations for improvements, and said domestic violence involving the family had first been reported in 2003, and again in 2007.
But the review said while lessons could be learned, Yaseen's death could not have been predicted.
The judge said she had beaten him for three months leading up to his death, adding: "The cause of the beating was your unreasonable view that he wasn't learning passages quickly enough.
"The violence Yaseen suffered was not confined to the day of his death.
"For three months you beat him often with a wooden pestle and I'm confident these beatings left him in a significant amount of pain.
"This prolonged cruelty culminated on the day of his death in what was a savage attack. You then set fire to his body in an attempt to evade responsibility for what you had done.
"I accept you were a devoted and caring mum. Except for the obsession with Yaseen learning you did many fine things to bring him up as a young boy."
After the sentencing, Yaseen's father, Yousuf Ege, paid tribute to his son.
"My memories of my son are that he was a beautiful little boy, a very happy boy who was decent and polite," he said.
"It is hard for me now to describe my loving feelings for my son.
"He was loved by all who had known him due to his beautiful nature and his high academic level.
"I would like to thank all my family, friends for the endless support through these difficult times and I would like to thank all the people who sent messages of condolences."
Tributes also came from Yaseen's former teachers, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
An Arabic teacher said: "He was one of the best children ever. Yaseen was a boy who loved to learn, he was always happy, he was a very good boy, very intelligent and very polite."
Another teacher said Yaseen had a beautiful smile.
"He was a little angel and touched all our hearts with his kindness, we shall all miss him dearly," she said.
Yaseen's primary school teacher added: "He was a delightful little boy and beautifully behaved who always had a smile on his face.
"It was a pleasure having him in school with us."
It was initially thought Yaseen had died in a fire, but tests later revealed he had died hours earlier.
In a complicated series of claims and counter-claims she had confessed to the murder and then retracted that confession.
She claimed her husband and his family forced her to make the confession and that he was the killer.
The harrowing confession was recorded by police and shown to the trial jury in evidence.
In it, Sara Ege described how Yaseen collapsed after she had beaten him while still murmuring extracts of the Koran.
"He was breathing as if he was asleep when I left him," she said. "He was still murmuring the same thing over and over again. I thought that he was just tired."
When she returned 10 minutes later she said she found her son shaking and shivering on the floor. He then died.
She then used barbecue gel to burn her son's body in an attempt to hide the evidence.
The mother also confessed to beating her son for no reason and that her anger often led to her being out of control.
She and her husband had enrolled Yaseen in advanced classes at their local mosque as they wanted him to become Hafiz - an Islamic term for someone who memorises the Koran.
As a child Sara Ege had taken part in competitions showing her knowledge of Islam and had recited from the Koran. The court heard that she had become increasingly frustrated with her son's inability to learn the passages.
She told officers: "I was getting all this bad stuff in my head, like I couldn't concentrate, I was getting angry too much, I would shout at Yaseen all the time.
"I was getting very wild and I hit Yaseen with a stick on his back like a dog."
She later retracted her statement.
The trial heard that Yaseen suffered significant abdominal injuries that were the cause of his death.
They included fractures which were non-accidental. He also had numerous historical injuries.
"Sara Ege made no attempt to seek the medical attention he so obviously needed," the court was told during the trial by prosecutor Ian Murphy.
Sand lizards and smooth snakes are known to live alongside the A338 in Bournemouth, which is being rebuilt.
Work on the road was due to begin in 2010 then was shelved, but not before miles of "reptile fence" was installed.
The new system of encouraging the reptiles to move by removing vegetation and creating improved habitat nearby has been approved by Natural England.
In 2009 and 2010, work to move the creatures involved lane closures and traffic jams.
Ecologists moved smooth snakes and sand lizards, which are rare in the UK and highly protected under European law, and a special fence was erected to stop the creatures returning.
The road scheme was then shelved due to lack of funding.
Now work has resumed, the reptile fence has been removed, along with gorse and bracken, and the verges cut back, making them unattractive as reptile habitats.
Meanwhile, 79 acres (23 hectares) of nearby heathland has been enhanced, with trees and scrub removed and sand patches created.
Dorset County Council's environment councillor, Peter Finney, said: "We're incredibly proud of our natural environment in Dorset and we strive to find new ways to work alongside our many protected areas and species, and enhance it - even when we are doing something as destructive as rebuilding a road."
The £22m rebuild, between Ashley Heath Roundabout and Blackwater Junction, is due to be completed by April 2016.

Tyne Amateur Rowing Club (ARC), which dates back to 1852, has built new facilities with help from a bequest from former member John Dalkin.
Honorary vice-president Ian Boyd said they had built a "state of the art rowing club which is was one of the finest in the country" in a year.
It has "excellent" storage facilities for boats and training, he said.
The club's rowers have competed at the highest levels of the sport.
Former Tyne ARC junior Will Fletcher is due to make his Olympic debut at Rio 2016 after being selected for the lightweight men's double scull.
The Duchess of Northumberland, who opened the facility in Newcastle, said rowing on the Tyne was part of the area's history.
"A lot of people who were involved in heavy industry would do this as a sideline," she said.
"It's really wonderful to see that we're not sweeping that history under the carpet, that actually we're recognising it and it's flourishing."
The building in Newburn also has facilities for local charities including the Percy Hedley Foundation, Norcare, Veterans at Ease and Visually Impaired North East.
The site finds cheap fares by looking for flights that have a stopover at the city someone wants to travel to.
The two firms allege the site is engaged in "unfair competition" and seeks to recoup lost revenue.
The developer behind the site said he was doing nothing wrong by exposing the "inefficiencies" in airline ticketing.
The legal action has been filed in Illinois.
The Skiplagged website works by looking for longer flights that include a stop in a big city en route to another destination. One example might be flying from New York to Lake Tahoe that has a stopover in San Francisco.
If someone wanted to travel to San Francisco they might spend less on the fare by booking the stopover flight and not travelling to Tahoe than they would simply booking a flight to San Francisco from New York. In some cases, the site suggests, travellers can save 40% or more on ticket fares.
The trick only works with one-way flights. Travellers cannot check in any luggage as that would then travel on to the flight's final destination.
Twenty-two-year-old developer Aktarer Zaman, who created the site, told CNNMoney that he had made no profit from Skiplagged. He declined to comment specifically on the case to CNN.
Mr Zaman has launched a fundraising campaign to gather cash to fight the legal battle against United and Orbitz. So far he has raised $10,538 (£6,776) of the $15,000 needed.
In its legal filing, United and Orbitz said the site was "intentionally and maliciously" interfering with the travel firms' business and was making it breach its contracts with its partners.
The documents added that "logistical and public safety concerns" meant using "hidden city" tickets was prohibited and, as a result, using Skiplagged broke these rules.
The two firms are seeking damages of at least $75,000 in revenue they claim they have lost as a result of Skiplagged operating.
State officials have recognised the spirit as a Geographical Indication (GI).
It means only whisky that has been made in Scotland can now legally be sold as Scotch in the country.
The news comes days after Scottish Secretary David Mundell asked Mozambique to grant it legal protection during a visit to the country.
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) said the "legal breakthrough" would give consumers a high level of protection against fakes.
Scotch has been recognised as a GI in a number of markets over the last 12 months, including Botswana which was the first African country to reward it that status.
It has also been given protection in the 17-member countries of the intellectual property body the Organisation Africaine de la Propriete Intellectuelle (OAPI).
Scotch is now officially recognised in the laws of nearly 100 countries, including the whole of the European Union.
Mozambique remains a relatively small export market, with direct shipments of Scotch in 2014 worth £1.6m. However, that was up from £214,000 five years earlier.
SWA chief executive David Frost said: "We expect to see demand for Scotch increase in Mozambique as its economy continues to grow.
"We have the same positive outlook for many African countries with a growing middle class seeking out quality, imported products, such as Scotch.
Mr Mundell said: "This is a great result, and I am grateful to the Mozambique government.
"Whisky is one of Scotland's greatest success stories, a globally-recognised premium product.
"This new protection will help Scottish distillers maximise the value of this important new market.
"It will also give consumers in Mozambique the confidence that the dram in their glass is the real thing."
Originally billed as being for the WBA cruiserweight belt, the governing body's vice president Gilberto Mendoza said it is not a title bout.
That had cast doubt over the meeting, but it will will go ahead on 12 December with Maccarinelli's manager Gary Lockett confident
"He and I are very confident about this fight," said Lockett.
"Even though he is 35, I think technically he is better than he was four or five years ago."
Welshman Maccarinelli, 35, a former WBO cruiserweight champion and Jones, a four-weight former world champion, will fight over 12 rounds.
Welsh boxers Zack Davies and Alex Hughes are also included on the bill at the VTB Ice Palace.
Neither Welshman Maccarinelli or Jones was included in the WBA's latest cruiserweight rankings released earlier this month.
Jones's last defeat was by Russian Denis Lebedev in 2011, while Maccarinelli has competed at light-heavyweight in recent years.
American Jones is one of the greatest fighters of the modern era and in 2003 became the first former middleweight to win a heavyweight world title for 106 years.
However, he has not held a world title since 2004, when he lost his light-heavyweight title to compatriot Antonio Tarver.
Maccarinelli, meanwhile, has not been a world champion since losing his WBO cruiserweight title to David Haye in 2008.
Jones, who is originally from Florida, officially became a Russian citizen after he was presented with his Russian passport in Moscow in October, 2015.
Russian president Vladimir Putin signed a decree to grant citizenship to Jones in September after meeting the boxer in Crimea in August.
Fittingly, this project is being undertaken by the desert state of the United Arab Emirates.
It's the first space exploration mission ever to be launched by an Arab state, and the UAE's space agency has just five years to build the probe and all its components.
The launch date is in July 2020, at a point when Earth and Mars are aligned in their orbits around the sun and closest to one another.
The plan is for the probe to enter Mars' orbit on the 50th anniversary of the UAE's foundation as an independent country.
At the Dubai Airshow, the UAE Space Agency has been showing its project to the public and the international media.
"There's a window of around two to three weeks - the launching window - if you miss that, you have to wait another two years," says the space agency's director general Dr Mohammed Naser al Ahbabi.
"It is challenging. If we miss that, we will miss our 50th anniversary arrival at Mars. So this is another challenge."
At the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre in Dubai, a team of 75 engineers are building the satellite, which is roughly the size of a small car.
They are also making all the components, such as imaging equipment, ultraviolet and infrared spectrometers, solar panels, a star-tracker navigation system and the thrusters that will slow the craft down once it reaches Mars orbit.
Everyone on the team is Emirati, and the average age is 32.
"The goal is unifying and inspiring young people in the UAE," says Dr al Ahbabi. "Now, young Emiratis are desperate to work on this and to be part of this journey into space."
The plan is for the probe to orbit Mars for two years, collecting data about the planet's upper and lower atmospheres. Recent explorations by NASA suggest Mars used to have a cool climate and a lot of water on its surface.
Scientists believe the atmosphere thinned to the point where Mars became so hot that almost all the water evaporated, the molecules escaping though the edge of the atmosphere into space.
The planet does have frozen water its polar ice caps, and Nasa has recently found some evidence that liquid water flows at sub-surface levels intermittently on present-day Mars - but the planet is extremely arid when compared to Earth.
The data collected by the probe will be presented to NASA for analysis. It may help scientists forecast what effect global warming will have on water resources here on Earth.
"Our science mission will validate some of the suggestions of about there having been water on Mars," says Dr al Ahbabi.
"But it will also contribute to a better understanding of Mars, because understanding what happened to Mars may help us understand what is happening to our home - Earth - and how we can protect the atmosphere of Earth. So it is a great contribution to our home planet."
Dubai, which is home to the Mars mission, is already well-known for extravagant, headline-grabbing projects such as building huge islands in the sea, and the world's tallest tower.
The ruler of Dubai and UAE Vice-President, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, unveiled the space mission last year.
The nation's rulers want to put the UAE at the forefront of scientific endeavour in the Arab world and recapture some of the spirit of the Golden Age of Islam when - in medieval times - the Middle East led the world in learning.
"This is the first Arab and Islamic country which has stepped into space exploration," says Dr al Ahbabi. "Space is a great model for international co-operation, regardless of our differences on Earth."
However, with a city as mercantile as Dubai as its base, there are also hard-headed commercial considerations behind the Mars mission.
The US's Space Foundation says the global space industry generates revenues of over $330bn a year. Three-quarters of the sales of space equipment - such as satellites and launch rockets - are to commercial customers such as television and communications companies and the UAE wants to gain a stake in this market.
UAE scientists have, in fact, built satellites before, in collaboration with scientists from South Korea. The first, DubaiSat 1, was designed and built almost entirely by the Koreans, but with DubaiSat 2, the Emirati team built half the satellite themselves.
With the Mars satellite, the mission team is building all its high-technology imaging and navigation components from scratch, rather than buying them off-the-shelf from established manufacturers such as Boeing.
It will then be able to market them to its customers of its own. However, the mission team is receiving technical advice from four US universities.
So far, UAE says it has spent over $5bn on its satellite programme. Billions more will be spent on the Mars mission. It is a high-profile, but high-cost, way for the nation to enter the global space industry.
The 43-year-old died while attempting a wingsuit flight from the 7,500 ft (2,286m) Taft Point promontory in Yosemite National Park, a park spokesman said.
Fellow extreme athlete Graham Hunt also died as the pair attempted to fly at high speed.
Rescuers found the bodies soon after contact had been lost with the men.
The men were wearing skin tight suits with batwing sleeves and a flap between their legs to help them glide.
Park ranger Scott Gediman said that their parachutes had not been deployed.
"This is a horrible incident, and our deepest sympathies go out to their friends and family," Mr Gediman told the AP news agency. "This is a huge loss for all of us."
Such stunts are illegal in the National Park but enthusiasts frequently manage to evade the authorities.
My vision turns black and white except for the searing red line.
Sounds fade. I feel faint, face flushed with heat.
My muscles tense, but I hold calmness in my centre and loosen my arms from the shoulders to my fingertips.
The moment sickens me, and my mind tries to stop it, but I command myself to walk.

Base jumping: 'It's an addiction'
The world of extreme sport has paid tribute to Potter, a climber who continuously pushed the limits of what was possible.
He was a leading practitioner of "extreme highlining": walking across a tightrope between rock formations with only a parachute for safety.
Those who worked with him say that base jumping - basically jumping from a fixed structure like a building or cliff - was possibly his greatest risk.
"Base jumping is the most dangerous thing you can do... every time you jump it's a roll of the dice," photographer Corey Rich told the AP news agency.
"The odds are not in your favour, and sadly Dean pulled the unlucky card."
Last year the nutrition company Clif Bar withdrew their sponsorship of Potter and four other top climbers, as it felt uncomfortable with the risks that they were taking.
Potter was the first to climb Yosemite's three most famous big walls in a single day. Earlier this month he set a record for the fastest ascent of one the park's most well known rock formations, the Half Dome,
He was also renowned for his high-line walks and high-risk parachute jumps, some of which he carried out with his dog, Whisper.
Last year he released a 22-minute long film, When Dogs Fly that chronicled Whisper's extreme adventures. Although it became a viral sensation, it also attracted criticism from animal rights activists.
Climber Doug Robinson told the BBC that Potter had always sought to take on new challenges.
"We're very sad about Dean Potter's death, but not very surprised," he told BBC Newsday, "he was pushing the envelope all his life."
The Typhoons were launched from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire to identify an "unresponsive civilian aircraft", the RAF said.
Communications were re-established and the aircraft was safely escorted to Cardiff Airport, a spokesman added.
The Challenger 300 jet left the airport at 19:20 GMT, thought to be heading to its original destination, Dublin.
Cardiff Airport said the plane had temporarily lost radio contact.
"As a precautionary measure the aircraft was escorted into Cardiff Airport as a safe place to land," it said.
The airport added that it was open and operating as normal.
It is understood that one passenger and two crew were on board the private jet.
All the main emergency services sent crews to Cardiff Airport at about 16:30 BST, including seven fire appliances. Police and ambulance also attended.
The sonic boom caused by the RAF jets was heard across Oxfordshire.
But Prof Sheila Rowan and Prof Jim Hough said the seminal findings were "worth much more" than any winnings.
Both scientists are part of the Ligo collaboration that detected the waves.
Back in 2004, the pair placed a £25 wager at odds of 100/1 that Ligo - then in its first incarnation - would "detect gravitational waves by 2010".
"It was worth a punt," Prof Rowan told the BBC.
Betting agency Ladbrokes offered the wager alongside four other possible scientific breakthroughs, including the discovery of the Higgs boson (odds of 6/1), the arrival of fusion power (50/1) and finding life on Saturn's moon Titan (10,000/1).
Gravitational waves, tiny ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein, started out at 500/1 to be detected by 2010. But the bookmaker slashed that figure after a rush of bets - some of them from physicists - which made headlines at the time.
"If I remember correctly, we were contacted by a colleague," said Prof Rowan, from the University of Glasgow. "Neither Jim nor I are gamblers, so we had to figure out how to set up an account with Ladbrokes. It took us some time to do that and by then, the odds had started to drop."
Eventually they sank to 6/1 before the book closed, she recalled.
"They stopped taking bets, because our community all went - this is too good to miss! We might see something."
Ligo is an international project set up to detect gravitational waves using two huge laser instruments in the US states of Louisiana and Washington. It was decades in the making and UK scientists, including Prof Hough, were key to its development.
Prof Rowan said there was general agreement that detecting gravitational waves with Ligo's first run, from 2002 to 2010, was "possible but not probable". Many researchers thought they would need to wait for the subsequent upgrade to boost the devices' sensitivity. But there was always a chance.
She remembers 2010, and the chance of £2,500 in winnings, whistling past without much sense of disappointment.
"I can't remember what I was doing, but we all remembered the bet," Prof Rowan said.
In the end, of course, a set of Einstein's fabled waves wobbled through Ligo's laser beams in September 2015, just as the team were turning the instruments back on as "Advanced Ligo" after a major revamp.
These minuscule ripples had travelled across the cosmos, at the speed of light, for 1.3 billion years. Their source was the spectacular merger of two very large black holes.
"It was worth the extra six years," Prof Rowan said.
Dr Fred Raab, head of the Ligo lab in Hanford, Washington, said that detecting a black hole merger, in particular, was something that nobody would have bet on. Most of the team's attention had always been focussed on detecting a pair of neutron stars, merging to form a black hole.
"The reason was that binary neutron stars were known to exist and there was a crude estimate of the number within a certain distance of Earth that might merge within the lifetime of the Universe. Those estimates varied by a factor of a thousand, but were the most solid estimates that existed for any of the possible sources of gravitational waves."
By contrast, merging black holes were an unknown unknown.
"Since there were no known black hole binaries, there were only mathematical simulations that varied between predicting we would see them once per year with Initial Ligo (the experiment before its upgrade), and saying they cannot form at all."
That made September's detection historic on multiple fronts, said Prof Rowan.
"The very thing that we detected was a surprise - two black holes. And they're big; their size is very interesting to astronomers. So it's amazing that immediately we're doing fantastic science.
"We're willing to lose out on the £2,500. This is worth much more."
The move ahead of the UK government's budget in March was sanctioned by a meeting of the Scottish cabinet.
Ministers agreed that they would lobby to "remove barriers to exploration" and back reskilling.
A spokesman for the UK government said it was committed to supporting the oil and gas industry.
Concerns are growing for the sector as global oil prices continue to slide.
The cost of a barrel of Brent crude oil has fallen from more than $100 in January 2014 to less than $30 in January 2016.
The Scottish government believed fiscal policy was the "main lever for incentivising investment, exploration and production in the North Sea".
And because tax policy is reserved to the UK government, the cabinet decided that Mr Swinney should seek an "urgent meeting" with Mr Osborne to outline why taxes on the industry "must be lowered".
After the meeting, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that the oil and gas industry was a "huge success story" for Scotland.
It had also fostered innovation, supported energy security and skilled employment, and generated significant economic value, she added.
However, she went on: "There is no doubt the industry is currently facing an extremely challenging outlook, but oil and gas can continue to make a significant contribution to the Scottish economy and energy security for decades to come.
"However, this will only be achieved if we support the industry through this difficult period, encourage investment and ensure it remains well placed to benefit from a future upturn in oil prices."
Ms Sturgeon said the cabinet agreed to;
Following news of the Scottish cabinet meeting, the UK government said that in last year's spring Budget, a package of reforms worth £1.3bn was available to support the sector.
A spokesman added: "This included reducing the headline tax rates and introducing a new Investment Allowance to reward companies investing in the UK Continental Shelf.
"This package is expected to encourage over £4bn of additional investment over the next five years. We also recently set out our strategy to maximise economic recovery through better collaboration between companies and improved cost-efficiency."
The focus on the oil and gas industry comes as financial services company KPMG said that "waning confidence" among potential sector lenders was a "real concern".
KPMG's Geoff Jacobs said: "Although lenders will want to remain supportive, businesses will have to take the initiative to demonstrate they have a strategy to navigate the current challenges to secure the ongoing support of their stakeholders and maximise their chances of coming through the current difficulties.
"Collaboration is a priority for the industry now and that also extends to the financial institutions with a stake in it.
"We know that our industry is cyclical and that the market will recover.
"For now it is a question of not panicking and doing everything possible to ensure that the industry maintains its ability to function when the tide begins to turn."
"I do planting, weeding and harvesting on the farm," says Manal, as she empties her bag of vegetables into a sack held by her younger brother. "It's the same work we used to do on our land back in Homs."
Refugees have long been working illegally on farms in Jordan but risked being deported back to Syria if they were caught.
Now they can get free work permits.
"We feel the difference," says Mohammed. "Before we couldn't work outside easily. We hid from the police. With the permits, it's excellent."
More than 650,000 Syrians are registered as refugees in Jordan. However, until recently, the government allowed only a few thousand to work.
It was worried they would push down wages, take jobs from Jordanians and be encouraged to stay permanently, stirring up resentment.
Now the authorities are experimenting with another possibility - that the presence of so many Syrians could boost the sluggish economy.
About 350 Syrians work for al-Rahman Farms.
"It helped us a lot. They saved us from having to bring in migrant labourers from abroad. They also saved us money," says the farms' owner, Jamal Alzoubi.
"We used to hire Egyptians at two Jordanian dinars (£2.10; $2.80) an hour. They dictated terms. When the Syrians came it reduced wages. We had more workers and we started to cultivate more land. Now we have a big area."
Syrians at the farm come from a nearby refugee camp. They are given breakfast and work for an hourly rate of one dinar. Mr Alzoubi is convinced it is a win-win situation.
"Now these people live in dignity," he says. "The camp where they live is oppressive but now they're free to come and go. They go to the market. They have permits. There's no problem."
The reversal of Jordanian policy was announced at a conference on Syria for international donors in London in February.
European leaders pledged to ease trade regulations in return.
Last month, a key deal was reached to simplify the so-called rules of origin for Jordanian factories exporting to the European Union.
It allows more imported raw materials to be used in finished products that are labelled as Jordan-made, so they get duty-free access to EU markets.
There are quotas for the numbers of Syrians that businesses must employ.
"Having the new rules of origin and having the ability to employ Syrians in sectors - especially blue collar sectors - is very much allowing us to convert this burden and challenge into an opportunity," says Jordanian planning minister, Imad Fakhoury.
"Hopefully this will increase jobs for Jordanians as well as for Syrian refugees and attract new investments, increasing exports which will contribute to economic growth."
Jordan's economy is currently growing at just 2.4% a year. It has suffered from a loss of trade with its war-torn neighbours, Syria and Iraq and there is high national debt.
Now it is being offered international support to turn things around.
The World Bank has already announced a $100m interest-free loan. Next month it is expected to announce a $300m programme to attract investment, reform the labour market and create jobs.
The target is for Jordan to employ 200,000 Syrians.
The EU, in particular, wants more refugees to work; it hopes that by improving their living standards, they will be less likely to head for European shores.
Donors also want to reduce dependence on handouts.
Funds pledged for some 4.7 million Syrians now living in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey has consistently fallen short of targets. Last year's influx of hundreds of thousands to Europe partly resulted from cuts to food aid and cash payments.
So far some 20,000 work permits have been given out in Jordan. Syrian refugees are happy to have them but many say it will take more to improve their lot.
In Amman, I meet a middle-aged carpenter who asks us not to give his name. He is making high-end, custom-made furniture as he once did for his family's shops in Homs.
However, in Jordan, he can be paid only the minimum wage. His permit describes him as doing a different, low-skilled job.
"There's huge suffering even among those who work," the carpenter says. "The salaries aren't enough and the United Nations isn't providing much. I'm behind on my rent, I have debts."
"We don't get healthcare and I spent all my savings on hospital treatment for my wife," he goes on. "I need a heart procedure and I shouldn't work but the day I don't work, I don't eat." | Northern Ireland are awaiting scan results following the groin injury picked up by key forward Kyle Lafferty in training on Tuesday.

Strathspey Steam Railway plans to recreate part of a free celebratory train journey held in 1863 between Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey.
Grantown cannot be reached by train today, but on 3 August's anniversary a steam locomotive will pull a train from Aviemore as far as Broomhill.
Passengers wearing Victorian clothing will travel free.
The steam railway group runs locomotives along 10 miles (16km) of line between Aviemore and Broomhill.
It hopes to eventually add three more miles of track (4.8km) to reconnect Aviemore with Grantown-on-Spey.
The platform at Aviemore will be decorated for next weekend's anniversary celebrations.
The Earl of Dysart, Johnnie Grant, will send off the train.
John Davison, of Boat of Garten, is among the railway enthusiasts encouraging travellers to dress as Victorians by wearing a lum hat and tail coat.
Strathspey Steam Railway's publicity officer, Hendy Pollock, said: "I expect that participants who join in the 'spirit' of this celebratory event will have the most fun and have a very memorable day."
He suggested that people view internet footage of film director Danny Boyle's opening ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics for ideas on Victorian attire.
The ceremony featured actor Kenneth Branagh as Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Speaking at an international conference in Vietnam, Prince William said there was "much to be proud of" when it came to efforts to halt illegal poaching.
But he said the "brutality" of poachers and crime gangs was still escalating.
He called on the UK to pass a total ban on the domestic ivory trade, as has been done by China and the US.
While the international trade in ivory has been banned since 1989, it is still possible to sell antique ivory in the UK as long as it was carved before 1947.
The duke urged the UK government to push ahead with a total ban on the trade, in a bid to protect elephants.
"China has already signalled a total ban, the USA has instituted one, and other nations, including the United Kingdom, are considering it," he told the conference on illegal wildlife trade in Hanoi.
"We know now what previous generations did not - ivory treated as a commodity is the fuel of extinction.
"Ivory is not something to be desired and when removed from an elephant it is not beautiful.
"So, the question is: why are we still trading it? We need governments to send a clear signal that trading in ivory is abhorrent."
A Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokeswoman said the UK was doing "more than ever before" to tackle the illegal wildlife trade.
Prince William is on a two-day official visit to Vietnam to highlight the damage the illegal trade in wildlife has on some of the world's most iconic animals.
"We know that we aren't moving fast enough to keep up with the crisis. Rhinos, elephants, pangolins, lions, they are still being killed in horrifying numbers," he told the conference.
"While we've made progress, the truth is we are still falling behind. A betting man would still bet on extinction."
He said the "organised crime syndicates we are up against are much more agile than we are".
"We are getting cleverer, but we need to admit that they are getting much cleverer as well," the duke added.
"Their brutality continues to escalate, with many more rangers killed since we gathered in London two years ago."
In 2014, the UK hosted a summit in London to bring leaders and key figures together from around the world to focus on tackling the issue.
It resulted in the signing of the so-called London Declaration, strengthening a commitments to stop the illegal wildlife trade.

Officials say the country would instead rely on a new national donation system for organ transplants.
Prisoners account for two-thirds of China's transplant organs, according to previous estimates from state media.
Human rights groups say death row inmates are pressured to donate organs - China denies such allegations.
Correspondents say that China has long said it intends to reduce reliance on prisoners for organ donation, but the sheer volume of organs needed may make this difficult to achieve within the timeframe set out.
Official figures from the health ministry show that about 1.5 million people need transplants, but only 10,000 are performed annually, state-run agency Xinhua says.
Huang Jiefu, vice minister of health, was quoted by Xinhua as saying that a trial system for public organ donation has been launched in some areas.
"The pledge to abolish organ donations from condemned prisoners represents the resolve of the government," he said.
He added that organ donations from prisoners were not ideal because infections are usually high, affecting the long-term survival rates of those who undergo the transplants.
Rights groups estimate that China puts to death thousands of prisoners a year.
Official figures, however, remain a state secret, according to the BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing.
He adds that the country faces a severe shortage of organ donors, partly because many people do not want to donate organs due to the cultural belief of that they should be buried whole.
This has led to a thriving black market. Officials outlawed organ trafficking five years ago, but it still remains a problem.
The Red Cross Society of China has also said that guidelines would be issued regarding financial aid to families of the deceased organ donors to help curb the illegal organ trade.
The firm, Infrastrata, has permission to drill an exploratory well for oil and gas within the catchment area for Woodburn Reservoir near Carrickfergus.
The proposed well head is about 400m from the reservoir.
Woodburn supplies 700 Belfast streets with drinking water.
Opponents claim the well could impact on the quality of the drinking water.
A Green Party motion calling for a review of the decision to allow the exploratory well was passed by 28 votes to 15.
It expressed concern that drilling would involve "harmful chemicals" and that no strategic environmental assessment had been carried out before permission was given for the work.
The company has been issued with an exploration licence by the Department of Enterprise.
The drilling was approved by the Department of the Environment under what are called permitted development rights, meaning it did not require planning permission.
Belfast City Council will now write to those ministers seeking a review of the decisions. It will also write to Mid and East Antrim Council within whose area Woodburn Reservoir sits.
Green party councillor Ross Brown, who proposed the motion, said the public "have not been granted permission to participate in a process where concerns about this activity could be aired and should have been discussed".
"This ought to be the very basis of what is required," he added.
"It is crucial that the most robust regulatory process is applied, especially given the fact that there are a wide range of studies which demonstrate that well casing leakage is a widespread and intractable problem.
"It has been estimated, for example that 5% of new wells leak in the first year and by 30 years, 60% suffer from leaks."
NI Water, which leased the land to Infrastrata for the exploratory well, has always said that it does not believe the work poses any threat to the public water supply.
In a statement, it said: "The safeguarding of water quality is of primary importance to NI Water and the company is satisfied that the proposed work will have no detrimental impact upon the impounding reservoir or the public water supply.
"However, no work will commence until NIEA and DETI are fully satisfied with all of Infrastrata's proposals and their impact on the wider environment."
The drilling project was dealt a blow earlier this month, when it emerged that Infrastrata's partner company had pulled out leaving a £2.8m hole in the project's finances.
The company said work could not proceed until it had closed the funding gap.
If Infrastrata does find oil and wants to extract it, it would then need to apply for full planning permission.
The Scottish Football Association has bid for Hampden Park to host three group games and one knock-out match.
A Uefa report highlighted a lack of "clarity", but praised Glasgow's transport links and hotel accommodation as "impressive".
The SFA say they have re-iterated to Uefa that the commercial requirement would be fulfilled "in its entirety".
Euro 2020 will be held in 13 countries, with England, Republic of Ireland and Wales also vying to host matches.
Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and the Aviva Stadium have been proposed as venues while Wembley could host the final.
Glasgow recently hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games, with Hampden used to showcase athletics and the closing ceremony.
Uefa's executive committee will vote on the host cities on 19 September - the day after the Scottish independence referendum.
The possible outcomes of the referendum are acknowledged in Uefa's report.
It says the legal aspects of Scotland's bid "may have to be re-assessed" if the country becomes independent.
"Scotland being part of the UK, the legal situation is mostly - but not entirely - identical to that of England and Wales," the report adds.
Cardiff's bid gets a generally favourable evaluation report, but inspectors point out fans would have to use airports in Bristol or even London.
Dublin receives one of the best evaluation reports among all 19 bidders while Wembley's bid is generally positive and similar to that of main rival for the final, the Allianz Arena in Munich.
However, the proposed fan zone outside of central London is rated as only "satisfactory" and plans for fan zones in other English cities are "very weak".
Munich's fan zone proposal is rated as "attractive", but plans for fan zones in other German cities were also rated "weak".
Wembley is regarded as the favourite after the German FA announced it may not push hard for Munich in order to concentrate on a bid to host the entire Euro 2024 tournament.

King's College has acquired "the last great collection of Rupert Brooke manuscripts still in private hands".
The John Schroder Collection was bought for £500,000, mostly funded by a National Heritage Memorial Fund award.
They reveal he was "more interesting and difficult" than "the heroic image portrayed at the time of his death".
The poet, who was a student and Fellow at King's, died of septicaemia on his way to Gallipoli, on 23 April 1915.
The Schroder Collection includes 170 documents by Brooke, hundreds of letters from people connected with him and eyewitness reports of his death and burial on the Greek island of Skyros.
King's College Fellow Librarian, Peter Jones, said: "A much more complicated and rounded picture emerges when you can look at the manuscripts already at King's, alongside the Schroder Collection.
"We now know much more about Brooke and he is certainly more interesting and, in some ways more difficult, than the heroic image portrayed at the time of his death."
After his death, his friend Eddie Marsh published 1914 and Other Poems and it became "a huge literary event", selling 160,000 copies.
In 1918, he published a memoir of Brooke which sold more than 100,000 copies.
Mr Jones said: "Some of Rupert Brooke's family and closest friends... thought the picture that emerged from this heroic story was not true to the man.
"He had a major breakdown in 1912 and had disastrous relationships with the women who loved him."
The debate has ranged across the implications of Brexit for cross-border trade, the consequences of the political vacuum at Stormont and, rather less predictably, whether it is OK for one party leader to call another a "blonde".
In addition, the campaign has been interrupted twice as local politicians paid their respects to the victims of terror attacks in Manchester and London.
The March assembly election was a bruising experience for Arlene Foster, with Sinn Féin closing the gap on the DUP, and unionists losing their Stormont majority.
When the DUP kicked off its Westminster campaign, its leader appeared determined to maintain her discipline.
There was no repeat of the "crocodile" remarks which had energised Sinn Féin's base in the spring, and there was a charm initiative aimed at Irish language activists.
This seemed to indicate potential flexibility ahead of the talks due on the other side of polling day.
But others in the DUP quickly hardened the line against an Irish Language Act.
Then we had "Blondegate" - that unfortunate decision by the DUP leader to play a word association game about Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill with a reporter from the Sunday Independent.
When I talked to Michelle O'Neill for BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics, she seemed in unforgiving mood.
That applied both to the "blonde" comment and her party's red line on not sharing power with Mrs Foster until the inquiry into the Renewable Heat scandal has run its course.
"There are ways and means" she told me, for the DUP "to put forward someone who can go into an executive". So, no sign of pre-talks wriggle room there.
More recently, Mrs O'Neill has accused the DUP of setting its own preconditions - pointing to a series of tests for restoring Stormont included in the DUP manifesto.
Sinn Féin is piling its resources into places like Fermanagh South and Tyrone and South Down, where it hopes to make gains.
The DUP, likewise, is pushing hard in areas like South Antrim and South Belfast.
By contrast, the erstwhile official Stormont opposition appears in mortal danger, with both the SDLP and the Ulster Unionists under serious pressure across the board.
Hanging on to what they hold seems the height of their ambition.
The SDLP stresses that its MPs will take any seats they win and fight Brexit on the floor of the Commons, while the Ulster Unionists have also majored on the need for all constituencies to have representation, rather than electing abstentionist Sinn Féin MPs.
But perhaps wanting to avoid another "vote Mike, Get Colum" moment, the new Ulster Unionist leader, Robin Swann, avoided my invitation on Inside Politics to advise his supporters to back the SDLP in a seat like Foyle, where the UUP is not standing and Sinn Féin might run the SDLP close.
Mr Swann is so new to the UUP leader's job that no one is likely to call for him to go even if his party has a second bad election in a row.
But what about Colum Eastwood? In many ways the SDLP had a lucky assembly election in March, experiencing a slight fall in its vote yet hanging on to the same number of assembly members (MLAs).
But if the results of this election mirror that of the recent assembly contest, then the SDLP could be in big trouble in all three of its seats.
On a good day for Arlene Foster, the DUP might make gains at the expense of both the SDLP and the Ulster Unionists.
On a bad day, it could face a re-run of Alliance's 2010 upset, when Naomi Long unseated the then DUP leader Peter Robinson.
With no unionist pact operating in East Belfast this time, nothing can be taken for granted.
On a very bad day for the DUP, its current Westminster leader Nigel Dodds - who is benefiting from a pact - could be under pressure from Sinn Féin's new kid on the block, John Finucane.
Overall, the campaign in Northern Ireland has felt relatively lacklustre.
Given the Renewable Heat Incentive controversy, the resignation and death of Martin McGuinness, and the spring assembly election, it is perhaps hard for the politicians to sustain that level of intensity.
That said, like the March results, the Westminster count could prove dramatic.
Then it is back to Stormont Castle and the talks table where the balance of the negotiations will no doubt be influenced by the public's second verdict on their politicians in the space of three months.

The water company was fined after employee Raymond Holmes died when he was crushed by a reversing vehicle in 2010.
Southwark Crown Court heard how the company had breached health and safety rules at the Coppermill Lane water treatment works where Mr Holmes died.
He had been due to retire after 30 years employment at the company.
Martin Baggs, chief executive officer of Thames Water, said: "His tragic death is something that will never be forgotten, either by myself or anyone else within the company. It is a constant reminder to all of us that safety must be the highest priority for everyone work for us."
BBC London's Sarah Harris reports from court and also speaks to Mr Holmes' daughter Laura Wyer and Tim Galloway of the Health and Safety Executive.
Bobby Douglas also suggested an American woman refused entry to the UK should have "painted herself black" and pretended she could not speak English to obtain benefits.
Mr Douglas will stand as an independent in the Caerphilly council by-election.
He said he deeply regretted any offence caused. The messages have been removed.
The poll is taking place in the Bedwas, Trethomas and Machen ward on 3 September.
The remarks, on Facebook, were made in 2014 and have been revealed by the Caerphilly Observer.
Mr Douglas has now posted a letter he was written to the party: "I deeply regret any offence I have caused by posting and reposting various remarks on Facebook.
"They were made in poor humour at a time when I was not a candidate and not even considering standing for election.
"I was furthermore not even a member of the party at the time these comments were made.
"I accept full responsibility for these comments and am therefore resigning my membership with immediate effect."
UKIP Welsh assembly election campaign co-ordinator Sam Gould said he was "deeply disappointed".
"The comment are disgusting, vile and sickening," he said.
"The Facebook posts weren't visible to us when he was selected.
"We suspended him within two hours of finding out, and he's now no longer a member of the party - we have a zero-tolerance approach to this kind of thing."
After the general election campaign - during which there were several negative stories about the party's candidates - UKIP told BBC Wales its selection process for the 2016 assembly election campaign would be "very rigorous".
The other candidates in the by-election, caused by the death of Labour councillor Ray Davies, are Ray Davies (independent), Ron Davies (Plaid Cymru), John Dew (independent), Lisa Jones (Labour), and Rita Lukins (Conservative).

The BBC Sport's Price of Football study gathers data from 227 clubs in 13 leagues across the UK to find prices on match tickets, away tickets, season tickets, replica shirts, pies, cups of tea and even match programmes.

Season ticket prices are rising across Scotland's four divisions, with 15 of the 42 clubs increasing either their cheapest or most expensive season pass price this summer.
The study found the average prices of tickets, replica shirts, tea, pies and match programmes in all four Scottish leagues are lower than in England.
SPFL chief-executive Neil Doncaster said the BBC's findings show clubs "continue to invest significant time, money and effort in making the game as affordable and attractive as possible to fans".
Hearts raised the price of their cheapest and dearest season and match-day tickets this summer after being promoted from the Championship.
Along with Celtic, they are the only clubs in the top tier that offer match-day tickets for more than £30 - albeit for their biggest fixtures.
But even the most expensive match-day tickets in the Scottish Premiership come in at an average of £26.75, nearly £30 cheaper than the same category in the English Premier League.
Annan Athletic and Elgin City in League Two are the places to head if you are on a budget, with entry available for £10 - nowhere can you watch men's football cheaper in the top four leagues in England and Scotland.
Eleven of the 24 season ticket prices BBC Sport gathered from the Premiership went up year on year - and the price increase in those cases averaged £30.
The cheapest season ticket in the league now costs £299.75 on average, while the dearest reached £403.67, a rise of 4.7%.
But it is through season tickets that many clubs do their best to attract young fans and both Hamilton Academical and Inverness Caledonian Thistle offer free entry for two children with any adult season ticket purchase.
As many as 26 of the 42 Scottish clubs offered a reduction for buying your season pass early.
And, if you really want to save money, Annan (£120) and Queen's Park (£140) offer season tickets at what works out at £6.66 and £7.77 a game respectively.
Football fans north of the border should smile because the likelihood is either the tea or pie you consume at your club's ground will be cheaper this season.
The average price of a pie fell by nearly 5% to £1.86 in the Championship and 1.61% to £2.04 in the Premiership. If pastry isn't your thing, tea fell by more than 6% in both of the two lower leagues.
At £2.50, Rangers have the most expensive cuppa, while Elgin's 60p offering is the lowest we found across the UK.
But it's not all good news as replica shirt prices rose across the leagues, most notably by 3.8% in the Premiership. The average shirt in the top flight now costs £44.73, just under £5 cheaper than in England's Premier League.
Hibernian and St Mirren gave away 5,000 and 3,000 tickets respectively last season in their drive to work with local schools, clubs and communities to engage supporters.
At Premiership level, season ticket purchases can throw up quirky deals, with Celtic offering a free night at Glasgow Tigers speedway. Dundee, meanwhile, build discounts on haircuts into their season pass price.

At the same time, the US Department of Labor said the unemployment rate dropped to a seven-year low of 5.4%, down from 5.5% in March. Big job gains in the service sector helped to offset weakness in mining,
Investors welcomed the report, sending shares broadly higher on Wall Street.
Many see the report as a sign of solid strength in the economy.
The total was a big improvement on March's payroll figures, which were revised to show a gain of just 85,000 jobs.
Experts blamed such factors as the exceptionally cold winter in the north-east of the country for weighing on hiring in March.
April's report also showed gains in employees' wages, with average hourly earnings up 2.2% from the same period last year.
That was a smaller rise than many market watchers expected.
However, it could provide a boost to US consumer spending, a key driver of the US economy.
Investors are paying close attention to all figures to check that the US recovery is maintaining momentum.
The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates later this year if the economy continues to improve. Benchmark lending rates are currently close to zero.
Essex Police were called to a house in Old Street at 10:50 GMT on Friday and found the dead woman, who was believed to be in her late 50s.
A post-mortem test has not yet been carried out and a forensic team is examining the scene.
The man, who is 25-years-old and from Clacton, has been taken to the town's police station for questioning.
The debt-laden airline has been struggling to become profitable amid growing competition from low-cost rivals.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley said the government had given an "in-principle" approval for the stake sale.
India will form a committee to decide on the details, including the size of the government's stake to be sold, he said.
The committee will also decide whether India will write off some or all of Air India's 520bn rupee (£6bn, $8bn) debt pile.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has been looking into ways to privatise Air India, which was given a $5.8bn bailout in 2012 and relies on taxpayer funds to stay afloat.
Privatisation plans have been abandoned before, however, and unions have threatened wide-ranging protests if ministers push ahead this time.
Once the country's only airline, Air India has lost market share to new entrants and suffered from a reputation for poor service and cancelled flights.
It remains India's biggest international carrier, flying to 41 destinations, and has just under a fifth of the market.
Air India has 14.6% of the domestic air travel market.

Australia took the silver and Poland the bronze. The gold came 20 minutes after the men's pair of George Nash and Will Satch won bronze. Alan Campbell then won bronze in the men's single sculls.
Victory brought GB's second rowing success following Heather Stanning and Helen Glover's win in the women's pair on Wednesday.
Watkins and Grainger are now unbeaten in 23 races.
Since they teamed up in 2010, the duo have claimed two World Championship titles, bringing Grainger's total to six world gold medals overall.
"I never had a doubt. With 750m [to go] there was only going to be one winner. That is the story of the British medals so far at these Games."
The pair were the form crew coming to the Olympic regatta at Eton Dorney, comfortably winning gold in all three World Cups.
Grainger said: "It was worth the wait. Steve Redgrave promised me there would be tears of joy this time and there are. For both of us we knew we had the goods to perform and it was about delivering."
Watkins added: "I can't believe it. I've tried to keep my mind away from this moment. It was just another race but it was the right one."
Grainger and Watkins exploded out of the blocks to take an early lead ahead of the Australian crew of Brooke Pratley and Kim Crow.

The Brits extended that lead to half-a-length by 500m and then two-thirds at half-way as the Australians hung on in second.
But it was at this point that Grainger and Watkins stepped it up a notch, upping their stroke rate and pushing ahead towards an expectant crowd that was already on their feet and going crazy with excitement.
Australia realised they were beaten as Watkins and Grainger pulled ahead with clear water and crossed the line to earn Grainger the gold she has been dreaming of since making her rowing debut in 1993.
Victory confirms Grainger, who dropped her shoulders with relief and looked up to the sky before raising her hands in celebration, as the most successful British female rower of all time.
The driver had refused to pull over, police said, and had sped past stop signs and red lights.
Police opened fire when the car began heading the wrong way on a motorway. The driver was later confirmed dead.
A sheriff's spokeswoman said shootings from helicopters were rare but deputies did train for such eventualities.
The incident began on Friday in Devore, east of Los Angeles, when police tried to pull over a man believed to have committed a burglary.
The Chevrolet Tahoe SUV drove through residential districts at high speed, narrowly missing pedestrians, before getting on to Interstate 215 the wrong way, a statement from the San Bernardino County sheriff's department said.
A deputy in a helicopter giving chase opened fire, hitting the SUV several times.
The wounded driver jumped from the moving car and ran a short distance before collapsing and dying by the side of the road, the statement said.
Police say they are awaiting autopsy results to reveal whether the man died from gunshot wounds or from leaping from the vehicle.
Police spokeswoman Jodi Miller said officers decided to open fire because the driver was threatening public safety.
The driverless SUV crashed head-on into a Dodge Durango injuring three people, one of whom remains in hospital, police added.
Emily Vincent, 36, said her Yorkshire terrier Roo was swooped on in her garden in Newquay, Cornwall.
She said the attack was witnessed by her three-year-old and she now fears the birds, which have nested on her roof, may attack one of her children.
Ms Vincent said she was "disgusted" that Cornwall Council says herring gulls cannot be destroyed.
The MP for the area, Conservative Steve Double, described what happened as "disturbing" and said he had written to the secretary of state for environment "to ask what can be done to control the seagull population in Cornwall".
Ms Vincent said she was upstairs when the 2lb (1kg) dog went out through the open back door and she came down to discover him badly wounded with what looked pecking marks on his head.
"It was like a murder scene - he was on his side in a pool of blood," she said.
"He had crawled back into the house and collapsed."
Ms Vincent said her three-year-old was screaming about two birds being involved.
She took Roo to the vet who confirmed the dog had suffered "a blow to the head" that meant she would have to be put down.
Ms Vincent said the seagulls often come down "and steal the dog's food".
She said she had contacted Cornwall Council asking what could be done to remove the seagulls but was told the birds cannot be destroyed as they are a protected species.
"Two of my youngest children have neurological problems. My fear is that it could have happened to them," she said.
"It is disgusting that they are putting gulls' protection above everyone else".
Cornwall Council said it would refer any inquiries about gulls to the information on its website - which states it does not support the destruction of Herring gulls as a method of control.
Serco, which operates the service, said it would use the disruption caused by Network Rail work to trial Oban as a potential new destination.
Fort William is the last stop for the train on the West Highland Line.
Passengers will be bussed there from Oban on the weekends of 12-14, 19-21 and 26-28 February.
Peter Strachan, managing director of the Caledonian Sleeper, said: "We have chosen to stop at Oban rather than provide bus travel from Tulloch because we would like to receive feedback on this route from guests and local businesses to inform our long-term planning.
"Oban is a popular destination for tourists as well as being known as the gateway to the isles, with a ferry service to many islands, including Mull, Lismore and Kerrera.
"As we continue to progress our plans for the Caledonian Sleeper service over the next 15 years we are keen to explore the possibility of extending our route."
Speaking on RTÉ, the Irish education minister said Catholic primary schools will not be able to discriminate.
Richard Bruton said it was unfair parents felt they had to baptise children to get a school place.
However, minority faiths - like the Church of Ireland - may continue to do so, to protect their ethos if they are over-subscribed.
Mr Bruton said there will always be over-subscribed schools and new schools are being built continually.
He said minority religious schools would quickly cease to be religious schools if they were not allowed some special terms.
He said that was not the case for Catholic schools because 90% of schools are Catholic.
The move will require a change to the Equal Status Act, which permits schools to discriminate on the basis of religion.
Mr Bruton said he planned to do this "without delay", but did not provide a timetable.
It is understood that while Mr Bruton has obtained preliminary legal advice on the move, any new legislation will need to be examined by the attorney general.
Parents were not consulted and the issue of consent was left to managers.
At Richmond Hill Approved School in North Yorkshire, housing pupils aged 15 and older, the most disruptive boys were given an anticonvulsant drug to see if it would control behaviour.
The trial of a sedative on girls at a school near Leeds did not proceed.
The proposal had been to give all girls at Springhead Park Approved School in Rothwell, which cared for 14 and 15 year olds, Haloperidol, a powerful sedative now used largely as an anti-psychotic.
Approved Schools were on a level between between a children's home and Borstal.
While children were usually sent there by juvenile courts, they were not imprisoned; the sites were funded and inspected by the Home Office and run by voluntary organisations.
The National Archives files feature discussions about the plans for the drug trials from three doctors who are all now deceased.
In a document dating from late 1967, Dr JR Hawkings, a psychiatrist attached to Richmond Hill, wrote to the Home Office asking permission to conduct a drug trial on boys who were "impulsive, explosive, irritable, restless and aggressive".
He wanted to give some of them a drug called Beclamide. The anticonvulsant, which has sedative effects and was prescribed for epilepsy, is no longer widely in use.
Although Dr Hawkings said this would be " a perfectly normal and legitimate therapy for certain types of disturbed adolescent", he also said that it had not been widely tested on such boys.
It was to be a "double blind" trial, with a control group given a placebo, and another group given the drug.
But there is no indication that the trial was discussed or explained to participants or suggestion that their consent was sought.
The papers show the Home Office psychiatrist Dr Pamela Mason welcomed Dr Hawkings's plan.
On 1 November 1967 she wrote: "From the clinical or practical point of view these are the boys that can produce considerable problems within a school and this sort of research into possible drug treatment is to be welcomed...
"I would recommend maximum support for this project."
According to notes on the file, the trial went ahead in 1968, with boys given the drug for six months.
There is no record of the outcome in the documents, nor could I find any published paper in medical journals
And the files show the school headmaster told the Home Office that "in view of assurances from the school doctor, from Dr Hawkings… and from the doctor acting for the manufacturers, the managers had decided that there was no need to consult the parents".
Bob Hammal, a teacher at Richmond Hill between 1968 and 1972, was appalled to learn of the trial.
He remembered there were challenges - but generally recalls a good relationship between staff and the boys.
"What really did shock me more than anything was that parental consent was not sought and was not thought to be necessary by the powers-that-be," he said.
He believes that had he, or other colleagues, known at the time, they would have tried to stop it, or acted as a whistleblower if that was not possible.
As the Richmond Hill trial got under way, a second trial was proposed, again by a school psychiatrist, at Springhead Park Approved School for girls in Rothwell near Leeds.
This was a sister school to the better known Duncroft in Surrey, a small institution for girls of higher intelligence.
In November 1968, Dr Joyce Galbraith wrote to Dr Mason at the Home Office "in strict confidence".
She said she was increasingly concerned about the tone of the school and unrest amongst the staff.
To calm the situation, she suggested giving Haloperidol to every girl in the school, for 18 weeks.
She wrote: "My suggestion is that we should try some form of drug trial to see if, by allaying the anxiety of the girls chemically, we might perhaps settle the school a little bit more, and give the staff an opportunity to put their own house in order…"
Again, Dr Mason supported the plan.
The papers in the the National Archives show she wrote: "I think this sounds a valuable treatment approach to the very real problems that arise from the special nature of girls in residence and in particular the problems presented by younger immature disturbed adolescent girls."
The files also show that Shelagh Sunner, headmistress of the school between 1966 and 1982, did not support the trial.
Speaking to the BBC about the National Archives material, she said drugs were not the solution for "her" girls.
"They weren't mentally sick kids" she said. "They needed to work through their emotions".
The trial did not take place after the school's managers blocked it, worried about what the girls' parents would think.
Ms Sunner said she was not surprised, though, that the Home Office endorsed it.
"I think they were scratching their head about what they were going to do with this generation of maladjusted kids - because the approved schools were full and there were a lot of them."
Fferm Penglais hall opened in January after delays prevented it opening at the start of the academic year in 2014.
The Chamber of Commerce warned businesses could close if student spending was focused on the campus.
The university said long-term the hall would bring in millions to the town.
Aberystwyth Chamber of Commerce chairman Chris Mackenzie-Grieve said: "You can see by the amount of vacant properties in town now, whereas town before had no vacant properties.
"So those students are not in town. They're up the hill, and what's the incentive for them to come down?
"They're building a lot more facilities up there, not just accommodation facilities but also shopping facilities etc, so it becomes much more campus orientated."
However, Aberystwyth University said it had no plans to develop on-campus shopping facilities.
A spokesman added around half of the student population lived in private accommodation in town, and many of the other halls of residence were also located in town along the sea front.
The authorities in Varanasi have been increasing the network of optical fibre cables as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan of improving internet services in India.
The federal government has planned to lay 700,000 km (435,000 miles) of broadband cable to connect India's 250,000 village clusters within three years.
But officials in the city in Uttar Pradesh state are struggling to stop monkeys from eating the fibre-optic cables, the Reuters news agency reports.
"We cannot move the temples from here. We cannot modify anything here, everything is built up. The monkeys, they destroy all the wires and eat all the wires," communications engineer AP Srivastava told the news agency.
Varanasi, which is also the parliamentary constituency of Mr Modi, is known as as a holy city and millions visit its famous banks along the Ganges river every year.
Many such tourists, and even locals, consider macaque monkeys sacred and often feed them.
Mr Srivastava told the news agency that his team was now looking for alternatives, but there are few to be found.
Varanasi is a crowded city and its infrastructure has hardly changed in the past decades.
Houses and building are too close to each other, making it difficult for authorities to consider laying underground cables.
And chasing away the monkeys is also not an option because it may anger local residents.

They say their review of 61 studies provides the "most conclusive evidence to date" that portion size affects how much we unwittingly eat.
The team at the University of Cambridge also said smaller plates, glasses and cutlery helped people eat less.
Experts said people were "reluctant" to leave a plate with food on it.
Their data, published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, shows that when people are offered more food they will eat it.
And the team warns that in recent decades portion sizes have been increasing.
On average between 1993 and 2013:

About two in three adults in the UK are either overweight or obese, which increases the risk of heart problems, type 2 diabetes and cancer.
The findings, which are based on 6,711 people taking part in a wide range of clinical trials, suggest that eliminating "large portions" could cut up to 279 calories a day out of people's diets.
Dr Ian Shemilt, from Cambridge's Behaviour and Health Research Unit, told the BBC News website: "This is the most conclusive evidence to date that people consistently consume more food and drink when given larger portions, packaging or tableware.
"Consumers do have a role to play - for example, all of us can reduce the size of plates or glasses we use and put pressure on the pubs and restaurants we visit by asking for a smaller portion."
The team also says government measures to force smaller packs to offer better value for money and upper limits on the size of energy-dense foods would help people lose weight.
Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, said: "This study clearly demonstrates that reducing portion sizes is a successful way to cut calories.
"It's important to keep an eye on portion sizes when cooking, shopping and eating out to avoid overeating and help maintain a healthy weight."
Prof Brian Ratcliffe, emeritus professor of nutrition at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, said: "People seem to be reluctant to leave or waste food and so consume what they are served or find larger portions more attractive.
"A limited number of restaurants and food outlets already offer more than one portion size with appropriate pricing differentials and this seems to be a way forward to help people to avoid overconsumption."
The coming of summer has been marked in Edinburgh as revellers gathered for the spectacular Beltane Fire Festival.
The celebrations, based on the the old Celtic May Day, began above the city on Calton Hill as the sun went down on Sunday.
During festivities the Green Man is killed as god of winter and reborn as spring to consort with the May Queen.
The modern Beltane Fire Festival has run since 1988, making this its 30th year.
About 300 drummers, fire dancers and performers acted out the scenes around a large bonfire.
All the fires are put out and relit using a fire made from a piece of wood from last year's festival.
Angus Farquhar , Edinburgh's Beltane Fire Festival founder, said: "Since we restarted it in its modern form 30 years ago, the Beltane Festival has continued to grow and flourish.
"It always felt apt to celebrate spring, warmth coming back into the air and the miracle of renewal as witnessed through the annual arc of growth and fecundity in the natural world.
"I am incredibly proud of its evolution, the energy and commitment of the hundreds of volunteers who make it happen and draw strength from the heart of its rituals and traditions."

Bayern finish the season 10 points clear of Borussia Dortmund in second.
Bayern's French winger Kingsley Coman hit the post with a header, while Iver Fossum, Waldemar Anton and Edgar Prib missed good chances for Hannover.
Before the game, there was a presentation to Bayern boss Guardiola, who takes over at Manchester City next season.
His final Bayern game will be the German Cup final against Dortmund next Saturday (19:00 BST) as he aims for a second domestic double in three seasons.
The family of Manus Deery, who was shot dead yards from his Londonderry home, welcomed the admission after 44 years.
The Deerys led a long campaign to uncover the truth and clear his name.
Their barrister said the violent death of a child who was wrongly labelled a terrorist was among the worst experiences a family could endure.
The teenager was eating chips with friends when he was hit by bullet fired by a soldier positioned high above him on the city walls.
At a hearing in Belfast's Royal Courts of Justice on Monday, a barrister for the MoD and Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said his clients accepted the boy had not been carrying a weapon and was not posing any threat to soldiers.
"He was behaving lawfully. He was innocent of any wrongdoing at the time of his death," the barrister told the court.
"We accept that there was a breach of the Yellow Card and that the decision (to shoot) was premature and cannot be justified," he added.
"The MoD accept that Manus was unarmed and did not pose a threat. That is undisputed."
The teenager's sister, Helen Deery, who campaigned to clear his name, said she was "delighted".
Speaking outside court, she said: "They have just said what we have been saying for 44 years."
"Manus would have been 60 on Thursday and it was very important for me, especially this week, that on his 60th I can turn around now and say clearly that he was innocent and the soldier was in breach of the Yellow Card; he acted out of law."
The killing, which took place at the height of the Troubles, is one of a number of controversial security force cases being re-examined by the coroner.
At a fresh inquest last month, the name of the soldier who killed Manus Deery was officially disclosed for the first time.
Private William Glasgow was never convicted and has since died.
The soldier had maintained that he fired at what appeared to be a gunman about 200 metres away, missed, and the stray bullet killed the boy.
On Monday, the Deerys' barrister told the court: "No evidence of the existence of a gunman has emerged in 44 years. We say that's significant in this tight-knit community."
The Mod's barrister urged the coroner to take into account Private Glasgow's age and inexperience and the fact that 1972 was the worst year of the Troubles.
However, the family's barrister said: "There is no doubt that 1972 was a terrible year. It was the worst year in terms of deaths and injuries in terms of the Troubles. It is right to acknowledge that the soldiers were in danger.
"They were in danger from explosives and gunfire and they were in danger on Derry's city walls. That's right, but it is not this case."
She added: "Innocent civilians like Manus Deery were also in danger from soldiers who were armed with powerful weapons and could fire with virtual impunity."
After taking final submissions from legal representatives, the coroner said he planned to deliver a verdict in Derry "as soon as possible".
The problematic transactions reached up to thousands of pesos. Some users claimed on social media that their accounts had even gone into the red.
BPI chief executive Cezar Consing apologised on Wednesday morning in an interview with a local TV station.
"This is not a hack, this is an internal issue," he said.
"Over the next few hours, we are making sure the double credits, debits are corrected," he told ANC.
Account holders on social media are claiming to have lost anything from 4,000 pesos ($80; £62) to up to 100,000 pesos.
In a statement posted on Twitter, BPI said some clients might have seen their accounts debited twice or credited twice for a past transaction.
It said they had suspended access to electronic banking while errors were corrected.
However, the move caused other BPI customers to complain they now can't check their accounts to see if they were affected.
BPI had nearly 8 million clients and 1.4tn pesos in total deposits at the end of 2016, according to its latest annual report.
Shares of BPI fell nearly 2% in early stock market trading in Manila.
The 165 year-old BPI counts Philippines conglomerate Ayala and Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC among its major shareholders.
It is not clear whether the test was authentic, and if it was, whether it will be considered a success by the North.
A successful test would be significant because submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) are hard to detect.
It comes as North Korea gears up for a rare and significant party congress next month.
North Korea is banned from nuclear tests and activities that use ballistic missile technology under UN sanctions dating back to 2006.
"North Korea launched a projectile which was believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile around 6:30 pm (0930 GMT) in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) near the north-eastern port of Sinpo," a South Korea defence ministry spokesman said.
"We are keeping close tabs on the North Korean military and maintaining a full defence posture," he said.
North Korea has yet to report the test in its own official media. The secretive state has claimed to have carried out similar tests before but some doubt those claims.
The US says photographs supposedly showing one launch in December were manipulated and others think the North has fired missiles from submerged platforms, but not submarines.
Regarding this latest test, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the missile travelled about 30km (19 miles), whereas a typical SLBM can travel at least 300km (186 miles).
North Korea has so far conducted four nuclear tests - the first one in October 2006 and the latest in January this year.
The UN Security Council responded to the latter by imposing its strongest sanctions to date over the North's nuclear weapons programme.
Last month North Korea said it had developed nuclear warheads small enough to fit on ballistic missiles, although experts cast doubt on the claims.
Analysts believe the North may be gearing up for a fifth test as a show of strength ahead of the North Korean Workers' Party Congress, the first since 1980.
Last week the High Court approved the £84m takeover by utilities giant Severn Trent.
The shareholders of the Wrexham-based company, who called it a "David versus Goliath" dispute, dropped a legal challenge to "end uncertainty".
Dee Valley said it intends to implement the scheme as soon as possible.
It said shareholders had confirmed to the company no appeal would be made.
A further announcement about the timetable would be made in due course, it said, but "it is expected that the scheme will become effective this week."
"We always said we would abide by the court's decision and we have done so," a spokesman said.
Prof Ian Diamond called for fundamental changes, with a shift from support for tuition fees to help with living costs.
It is now for Kirsty Williams, the Liberal Democrat education secretary, and the Labour-led Welsh Government she is part of to decide what to do next.
Tuition fees were widely blamed as a major factor for the Lib Dem's collapse in the 2015 general election at a UK level - but now a consensus has emerged among Wales' politicians that the current system of significant subsidy for students who call Wales home will change.
In 2010, the Conservative-Liberal Democrat UK government decided universities in England would be able to charge fees of up to £9,000 per year by 2012.
The decision, which prompted protests at the time, affected only universities in England directly but it had a knock-on impact in Wales.
In Wales the then education minister Leighton Andrews allowed for the basic level of tuition fees to be raised to £4,000.
Higher education institutions could charge up to £9,000 provided they could demonstrate a commitment to widening access and other strategic objectives. Universities had to have their fee plans approved.
While universities were allowed to charge the higher fees, a grant was provided for students who were from Wales so they did not have to pay more than £3,900. The rest could be covered by loans.
Mr Andrews said at the time: "We are having to raise fees because of the policies of the UK government, which have a distorting impact on our budgets and on the competitive position of Welsh higher education institutions."
The policy drew concerns from opposition politicians that it would likely be unsustainable.
Former Conservative education spokeswoman Angela Burns said the subsidy was a "increasingly uncertain financial commitment for the public purse" - and later said the policy was seeing "tens of millions of pounds of Welsh Government funding to universities outside of Wales".
Worries also came from the higher education sector about the amount of cash heading to English universities as a result and in 2013 Mr Andrews' successor as education minister Huw Lewis commissioned the Diamond review.
Former Welsh Government education advisor, Prof David Reynolds of Swansea University, said the policy had been "brave" and the degree of subsidy was "unique around the planet".
He said: "I think they were trying to help the prospects of lower socio-economic status, more disadvantaged students going to university and I think it was an attempt to show the broader world that Wales was valuing higher education."
He believed there were hints "that maybe the generous subsidy might not have had huge effects on the numbers coming through higher education.
"If resources were available... I think people would have been anxious to stay with what was a trademark, unusual impressive commitment to helping students into higher education and I think people would have stayed with it.
"If there are changes, Welsh Government will do it reluctantly... because they thought, and they were right to think it, that this was a fantastic thing to do to help students in Wales go to HE."
Prior to the Welsh Assembly election last May there was a growing consensus among some of the parties that the tuition fee subsidy would be reformed.
Both the Welsh Conservatives and the Welsh Liberal Democrats - whose former leader Ms Williams is now in charge of implementing tuition fee policy - went into the election with similar commitments to scrap the fee grant and replace it with a system of support for living costs.
Plaid Cymru also pledged to replace the current fee system, but with plans to pay off up to £18,000 of debt for graduates who return to Wales. UKIP, for its part, said it would replace the tuition fee grant with loans for Welsh students choosing to study in England.
Labour also did not say it would continue the current system - Julie James told the BBC before the election the party was not committed to the grant.
She said there may be "nuanced changes" depending on the outcome of the review by Prof Diamond.
Labour won the most seats but not a majority at the election, meaning it and Ms Williams will likely need the support of another party to get any changes through.
Opposition parties also could, in theory, block any new policy.
Plaid education spokesman Llyr Gruffydd said: "If I'm persuaded it is a better way of doing it, I won't stand in the way of changing the emphasis towards supporting a maintenance grant system."
He said there was a "huge irony in the fact that the Lib Dems initially said in Westminster that they wouldn't introduce tuition fees, they did so, and now potentially we have a Liberal Democrat cabinet secretary in Wales doing away with the financial support for those paying tuition fees".
He indicated he would accept new proposals if it could be shown they met the criteria of closing the "funding gap" between Welsh and English higher education, being sustainable over the long term, are not dependent on changes made at Westminster, and have a focus on attracting high skilled people to Wales to boost the economy.
Peter Black, a former Liberal Democrat AM, said there was a "mild concern" from a "minority" of Lib Dems over Ms Williams potentially implementing a policy which could see tuition fee grants taken away from students.
But he said the Welsh Lib Dems policy of replacing tuition fee grants with support for living costs had been backed by the party membership.
"If Kirsty is able to implement that policy I think she will have 100% support from the party in doing that," the Swansea councillor said.
"Clearly people are nervous because we need to sell that policy properly.
"It is not a concern about anybody breaking promises," he said, arguing that if Ms Williams is able to "we are implementing our manifesto".
It was not clear when Mr Black spoke what Prof Diamond's recommendation would be, but he said he would be happy to go on doorsteps in Welsh student areas "and say to students the Welsh Lib Dems minister is going to giving you x amount in grant every year to help you through your studies, whereas if you were in England you wouldn't get a penny".
Jenny Rathbone is a backbench Labour AM who serves Cardiff Central - a constituency with the highest proportion of students in the UK.
She said there should be more support for living costs for students from families on low incomes.
"Our concern ought to be everyone should be entitled to go to university if they have got the ability and the income of their family shouldn't be a barrier," she said.
"We have to be realistic about what we can do at the moment. I think the maintenance grant is much more important because the tuition fee is an investment in that persons future.
"The tuition fee is not something they have to pay until much later, until they are earning a reasonable salary."
Despite having been engaged in peace talks with the left-wing rebels for almost three years, the government had always refused to declare a ceasefire.
The Farc, who have been observing a unilateral ceasefire, have repeatedly called on the government to join them in the truce.
The conflict started in 1964.
Speaking at a public event promoting science, Mr Santos called on the Farc and government negotiators "to make the effort so between now and 31 December we can wrap up the fifth point [on the peace agenda], which is how to end the conflict, so that we can declare an internationally monitored bilateral ceasefire from 1 January".
Mr Santos had in the past refused to enter into a bilateral ceasefire with the rebels arguing that during previous negotiations, the Farc had used it to re-arm and re-group.
An estimated 220,000 people have been killed in the 51-year armed conflict, the longest-running in the Western Hemisphere.
Farc and the government negotiators started official peace talks in the Cuban capital, Havana, in November 2012.
Since then, they have reached agreement on the political participation of the rebels, land rights, drug trafficking, and most recently, transitional justice.
Transitional justice - how rebels who have committed crimes will be punished - had been considered one of the thorniest issues on the agenda.
When the two sides announced a deal on the issue on 23 September, President Santos flew to Cuba and shook hands with the Farc leader known as Timochenko.
The president also set a deadline of six months, until 23 March 2016, for the signing of a final peace agreement.
•An estimated 220,000 killed
•More than five million internally displaced
•More than seven million registered victims
•About 8,000 Farc rebels continue fighting

The Canada-born former Germany right wing takes over from Ryan Finnerty, who left after Clan failed to reach the Elite League play-off semi-finals.
Clan director Gareth Chalmers said: "We wanted someone young, ambitious, well-connected, with the leadership to take us to the next level.
"In John, we believe we have that."
Tripp, who has signed a two-year contract, made more than 50 appearances for Germany, playing for his adopted country at the 2010 Olympic Games.
The ex-wing enjoyed a long playing career in Canada, the United States and Germany before taking over as head coach at Eispiraten Crimmitshau, where he finished his career, in December.
Tripp's team finished bottom of DEL2 but retained their place for next season via a play-off.
Chalmers stressed that the Glasgow club had taken advice from, among others, Eisbaren Berlin head coach Uwe Krupp and Lowen Frankfurt counterpart Paul Gardner before making the appointment.
"He has been recommended to us by Uwe Krupp, Paul Gardner and a number of other well-respected people throughout hockey," he added.

The whale was one of a number that have been feeding off the north coast of Mull.
Last week, the whale was spotted dead in the sea off the island and later washed up on a remote shoreline of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.
Staff of the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust were able to reach its carcase on Tuesday.
Scientists at the Inverness-based Scottish Marine Animal Strandings Scheme were able to confirm from tissue samples and photographs the entanglement was the "most likely" cause of its death.
The amended rule comes into effect at the end of 2020.
World Rugby says the change will ensure that players have a "genuine, close, credible and established link with the nation of representation".
"This is an historic moment for the sport," said World Rugby vice-chairman Agustin Pichot.
"National team representation is the reward for devoting your career, your rugby life, to your nation and these amendments will ensure that the international arena is full of players devoted to their nation, who got there on merit."
It is hoped that raising the residency qualification period from 36 to 60 months will give some protection to the smaller nations - particularly the Pacific Island teams - by discouraging their stars from pledging allegiance to other countries.
Last autumn, England gave starts to Fiji-born Nathan Hughes and Semesa Rokoduguni, who had qualified for Eddie Jones' side having lived in England for three years.
Jones has also recently included Sale's Auckland-born Denny Solomona in his squad, with the former rugby league winger set to become eligible for England in August.
France have previously declared they will only select players who hold a French passport in the hope it will reverse the national team's reliance on overseas-born players.
World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont called the reform an "important and necessary step to protecting the integrity and credibility of international rugby".
The alteration to the residency rule was one of a number of changes made by World Rugby at its council meeting in Kyoto, Japan.
The council also approved expanded voting rights for Argentina and Japan, who will now have three votes each on the decision-making body with immediate effect.
French Rugby Federation president Bernard Laporte has been elected on to the World Rugby Executive Committee.

The issue of nations getting in 'project players' to qualify on residency and build into international sides hasn't been particularly in the spirit of rugby.
There is nothing wrong with it - everyone has been doing it as it's in the laws and why wouldn't you use the laws to benefit your country?
I think it might stop so many Pacific Island and South African players moving abroad, although perhaps they will just come over at a younger age.
Hopefully it will see them commit to their domestic game and we will see those sides improve.
It is a long time for someone to commit to a new country and perform well enough over that time to make an international squad so I think five years is fair.
Angus MacNeil was re-elected in the Western Isles' constituency Na h-Eileanan an Iar.
Drew Hendry was returned as MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey and Ian Blackford was re-elected in Ross, Skye and Lochaber.
The Lib Dem's Jamie Stone took Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross from the SNP.
Paul Monaghan, the SNP candidate, finished in second place after losing 17% of his support.
Mr Stone, a Highland councillor and a former MSP, said it was "old fashioned canvassing" that helped him to win.
He said people told him that they did not believe their concerns about local health and education were being listened to.
The SNP candidates who were re-elected saw reduced majorities.
In Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey in 2015, Mr Hendry took one of the Lib Dem's biggest scalps - Danny Alexander - beating him by more than 10,800 votes.
This time, it was the Conservatives who were the challengers polling a 24.2% swing and cutting Mr Hendry's lead by almost 7,800 votes.
Mr Hendry said he was pleased with the result, but it was a "tough ask" with such a short time to prepare.
In Ross, Skye and Lochaber, Mr Blackford had taken the seat from former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy in 2015 with a majority of just under 6,000.
But in this election his vote fell by more than 4,600.
Mr Blackford said he was re-elected on his record of taking on local issues and representing all the people in his constituency.
Mr MacNeil has held Na h-Eileanan an Iar since 2005, but there was an almost a 14% swing away from him.

"We are out today to express our rage and disapproval over this blasphemous film," Kano protest leader Muhammed Turi told AFP news agency.
"This protest is also aimed at calling on the US government to put a halt to further blasphemy against Islam."
The controversial video was made privately in the US.
Its anti-Islam message has been publicly condemned by US President Barack Obama.
Led by Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, the Islamic Movement of Nigeria has seen its membership mushroom in recent years.
It is less well-known than the Sunni Muslim group Boko Haram, which is fighting for an Islamic state in Nigeria.
The country has been plagued by religious violence between Muslims and Christians for years.
The Safer Bristol partnership found three quarters of inmates had a good or fair experience of having their drug problem dealt with.
But 19% reported a poor experience of the drug treatment service.
For the first time, HMP Bristol agreed to trust prisoners to carry out the review with the support of Bristol's User Feedback Organisation forum.
"Working with those who actually use our service and to be able to give them a platform to influence change is very important for the future development of our service," said Tony Meecham, head of drug services at the prison.
The review was first carried out in 2009 and then again in 2011.
It found waiting times for treatment had significantly improved, with most people being seen on the same day as arrival.
"The responses show that treatment is more prompt and therefore more effective than three years ago," said Paul Moores from Safer Bristol.
"This is helping prisoners become confident that they can become drug free in prison and afterwards.
"Receiving treatment as soon as they enter prison is vital as withdrawing from drugs without treatment can cause huge physical and emotional problems."
Despite the improvements, 19% of inmates reported a poor experience of the drug treatment service.
Areas highlighted for improvement included the need to support those with mental health problems, and a specific treatment for people using crack cocaine.
"It [drugs] ruin your life," said prisoner Paul Bryant, who has been at Bristol Prison for seven months and has received support for his addiction to heroin.
"You lose your family, your support, your job, places to live and you lose your liberty. I've worked through the medication and I'm now completely clean.
"I'm 'number one' on the wing, so I'm in charge of all the other inmates to make sure they do their jobs.
"It [the prison] supported me through it and then I worked my way up from serving food to being number one on the wing."
HMP Bristol receives male prisoners and a limited number of young offenders, both convicted and remand, from all local courts.
It also acts as a category B facility for the West of England.

Although he showed some strength in the early voting state of Iowa, the 44-year-old governor consistently performed poorly in national polls.
He was shut out of the main Republican debates, relegated to secondary stages.
"This is not my time," Governor Jindal said on Tuesday.
The Oxford-educated son of Indian immigrants added diversity to the Republican field, which includes African-American neurosurgeon Ben Carson and businesswoman Carly Fiorina.
However, Governor Jindal sought to distance himself from his Indian heritage during the campaign.
"We are not Indian-Americans, African-Americans, Irish-Americans, rich Americans, or poor Americans. We are all Americans," he told supporters when he launched his campaign in June.
It may be difficult to recall at this point, but there was once a time when Bobby Jindal was a rising star in the Republican firmament - a charismatic policy wonk who could broaden his party's appeal to minority voters in the age of Obama. Now, however, he's a political afterthought - gone before all the autumn leaves have fallen.
By the time he announced his White House bid earlier this year, his star had lost much of its lustre. He had suffered reputational damage from political battles in his home state and was competing in a crowded presidential field where many candidates were vying for the same evangelical slice of the conservative electorate.
Mr Jindal is now the third Republican to drop his presidential bid. All three are current or recent governors, which comes as somewhat of a surprise given the value that voters usually place on candidates with executive-level government experience. This has been the year of the political outsider, however, and that trend shows no sign of changing anytime soon.
Unpopular in his home state after a budget shortfall, Governor Jindal had been considered a long-shot for the nomination.
During his campaign, Governor Jindal sought to appeal to evangelical Christian voters, taking hard lines on gay rights and Islamic extremism.
However, he was courting the same slice of the electorate as rival candidates such as Mr Carson, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.
Governor Jindal joins former Texas Governor Rick Perry and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker who have also suspended their campaigns for president.
Fourteen Republicans remain in the race.

The former Wasps, Leicester and England Saxons player worked as an assistant coach of Samoa during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Skivington won four Premiership titles and two Heineken Cups with Wasps.
"Wasps, Leicester and London Irish have all been great environments in which to play my rugby and each club has been a unique experience," Skivington told the club website.
"I have been proud to captain London Irish during the last three seasons and I know the club is in good shape to return to the Premiership at the first time of asking."
He added: "I would also like to thank Ealing Trailfinders and the Samoan national team for allowing me to gain valuable coaching experience during the last two years, which I hope to utilise going forward."
Foley, 42, died suddenly in Paris on Saturday before the Irish province's scheduled game against Racing Metro.

"The thoughts of Munster Rugby players, management and staff remain with the Foley and Hogan families and assisting them at this time continues to be the priority," read the statement.
Explaining the decision to call off the B&I Cup fixture against Doncaster Knights, Munster A head coach Peter Malone said: "With the Munster A squad featuring a number of senior players, planning for an away fixture would not be suitable at this point in time.
"We thank Doncaster Knights and the B&I Cup for facilitating our request in light of the exceptional circumstances."

After a stint in Slovenia with Domzale, Parker moved to the Serbian capital in January on a three-year deal.
"He has good flexibility but he has real pace and will give us an added dimension up front," said Dons manager Derek McInnes.
He's a talented player that can score goals. I feel we are getting him at a good stage in his career."
Parker, who started his career at QPR, played for Red Star against Aberdeen's Europa League conquerors, Kairat Almaty, in the first round.
Wycombe, Oldham and Oxford are among his former clubs.
"The biggest thing about going abroad was learning a different style of football," he told RedTV.
"When I was playing lower league in England, it was all long ball and 'Josh, you're not big enough to be a striker, because you're not 6ft, 2'.
"I made a conscious decision to step away from it and learn a different style of play. I like to think that will benefit me here.
"I have had so many ups and downs but I think this is a step in the right direction.
"Obviously Red Star has the history but the way the manager spoke to me and the vibe about the club, it feels like if I can do something here it's only going to help me and the club. That's why it felt right."
The seizure comes days after 300kg of elephant ivory was also impounded in the country.
Thailand is seen as a transit point for the illegal trafficking of wildlife.
Several species of rhino are at critical risk of extinction, conservationists say.
The horns arrived at Bangkok's international airport where two Thai women who had travelled from Vietnam and Cambodia came to collect them.
According to Thai police, they ran off when the luggage was subjected to a random check.
Officials describe the incident as an elaborate smuggling effort which involved several other people inside Thailand and abroad.
Wildlife campaigners believe the rhinos were probably killed to order in southern Africa, a BBC correspondent in Bangkok says.
Activists say that despite improvements in Thailand's anti-smuggling efforts, its main airport remains a popular hub for wildlife smuggling in Asia.
Some 29,000 rhinos are left in the wild today compared to 500,000 at the beginning of the 20th Century, according to the International Rhino Foundation.
Earlier this month, poachers shot a rhino dead and hacked off its horn at a zoo in France in what is believed to be the first such incident in Europe.
Last month poachers stormed an animal orphanage in South Africa and killed two rhinos for their horns after taking staff hostage.
Rhino horns are prized in some Asian cultures as an ingredient for traditional medicines believed to be effective in treating ailments ranging from fever to cancer.
Lancashire Police said the baby was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital from a property on Wyre Grove shortly after 04:00 GMT on 10 March.
He was transferred to Manchester Children's Hospital where he died five days later. A post-mortem examination showed he had died from head injuries.
David Christie, 35, of Blackpool, has been charged with murder.
He is due to appear at Blackpool Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
The man threatened a "revenge attack" on Germans in the video, they said.
Germany's federal prosecutor's office has taken on the case due to "the suspicion of membership of a foreign terrorist organisation".
IS has claimed it was behind the attack and the Syrian was an IS "soldier".
Fifteen people were injured, four of them seriously, when an explosive device in the man's rucksack, packed with shrapnel, went off close to a music festival in the small town, which is near Nuremberg.
If the attack is confirmed as IS-linked, it would be the first Islamist-inspired suicide bomb on German soil.
The bomber had been denied asylum in Germany and was due to be deported to Bulgaria, where he had previously been granted refugee status.
He had received psychiatric inpatient treatment and had tried to take his own life on two previous occasions, officials said.
Naming the man as 27-year-old Mohammad D., the federal prosecutor's office said in a statement (in German) that a video in which a masked man pledges allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the IS leader, was found on one of the attacker's phones.
Investigators believe that the masked man is Mohammad D. himself. Authorities are investigating whether other people were involved in the crime.
State Interior Minister Joachim Hermann said two phones, multiple SIM cards and a laptop were found with the body of the asylum seeker or at his accommodation.
The attacker announced in the video "an act of revenge against Germans because they were standing in the way of Islam," Mr Hermann said.
Germany was already reeling after five people were wounded on a train in another part of Bavaria a week ago by an axe-wielding teenager from Afghanistan who had pledged allegiance to IS.
On Friday nine people were killed by a teenage gunman in the state capital, Munich, who then shot himself dead. That incident was not believed to be jihadist-inspired.
What is going on in Germany?
Ansbach attacker: From asylum seeker to IS suicide bomber
What drives individuals to commit mass killings?
Bavarian authorities said that the bomb which exploded in Ansbach was clearly meant to kill as many people as possible.
Further bomb-making equipment was found at the asylum seeker accommodation where the man was living, including a fuel canister, hydrogen peroxide and batteries, they added.
A detailed analysis of the content of all the videos found on the man's electronic devices was ongoing, Mr Hermann said.
"I think that after this video there's no doubt that the attack was a terrorist attack with an Islamist background," the state interior minister said.
A week of bloody attacks has frayed nerves in Germany, which led the way in accepting asylum seekers from Syria. To date, two of the attacks have been linked to a militant group:
Germans shaken by violence

WATCH: 'We must fight hate with love'
The German interior minister, Thomas de Maiziere, acknowledged possible links to international terrorism and IS but also added: "At the same time, we cannot exclude a particular psychological or mental disorder or instability - or we may be talking about a combination of both factors."
Mr de Maiziere has ordered increased police presence in public places.
A neighbour at the asylum seeker accommodation where Mohammad D. lived said he often lied, without any reason, perhaps for attention. He had always said he did not like IS, the neighbour said.
162,510
applications for asylum were lodged by Syrians in 2015
36%
of all first asylum applications were from Syrians
23 Syrian applications were rejected
4,178 applications were closed or withdrawn
135,852 more Syrians arrived in the first five months of 2016
Germany has been the main destination of Syrian asylum seekers entering the EU, most of them arriving irregularly in Greece via Turkey.
Only 23 Syrians had their applications for asylum rejected by the country last year, out of a total of 105,620 decisions on Syrians' applications. A common reason for rejecting an application is when the asylum seeker submits false or incomplete information.
Just under half of asylum seekers rejected by Germany in the past two years were allowed to stay on in the country, according to a recent report in German daily Die Welt (in German).
The Ansbach bomber, who was among those rejected for asylum in 2015, appears to have been placed in a former hotel in the town, designated by the municipal authorities for asylum seekers since 2014.

Fifteen people, including the bombers, died and more than 35 were injured in the attacks at a mosque and house of vigilante leader, they said.
More than 100 people died in similar attacks in the city two weeks ago.
Maiduguri is where Boko Haram Islamist militants were first based when they began their insurgency six years ago.
Some 17,000 people are said to have been killed in that time and attacks by the group have intensified since Muhammadu Buhari became president in May, vowing to defeat the insurgents.
The BBC's Abdullahi Kaura Abubakar in the capital, Abuja, says people were waiting for the final evening prayers when three suicide bombers struck the mosque.
The girl carrying the fourth bomb ran off into the nearby bush where her explosives detonated, killing her.
The vigilante leader was not at home when a suicide attacker struck his house, our reporter says.
Witnesses and security sources said the children were aged between nine and 15.
Earlier reports said all five of the bombers were girls.
Our correspondent says the attacks in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, come as the military says it is winning the war against Boko Haram.
In June, the military's headquarters were moved to the city as President Buhari wanted to centralise operations against the militants.
This year, the security forces have reclaimed most of the territory captured by Boko Haram fighters and freed a number of people kidnapped by the militant group.
But the boosted regional multinational force - central to Mr Buhari's strategy in defeating the militants - has not yet started operations in earnest because of reported funding difficulties, our reporter says.
Mr Buhari has given his newly appointed security chiefs until mid-November to defeat the fighters, who now have ties with Islamic State group.
More than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped in April 2014 from the town of Chibok in Borno state have also yet to be found.

The figure is a "trigger point", but will not be publicly acknowledged, sources told the BBC's John Pienaar.
Prof John Curtice said it was the level the party should be thinking about.
An SNP spokesman said there would only be a second referendum if there was clear evidence of a shift of opinion.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon will not be drawn on whether a second referendum will take place while she is in charge.
But sources close to Ms Sturgeon said the benchmark was vital to ensure support for independence had become the "settled will" of the Scottish people.
"Six months of polls won't be enough," said a senior SNP figure, involved in the discussions.
Speaking on 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics, Prof Curtice, who is president of the British Polling Council, said: "It's entirely the kind of benchmark they should be thinking about.
"I think some of us said, not long after last year's referendum, that this was the kind of scenario the SNP needed to see in play before they could seriously contemplate a referendum."
He added: "I think one of the things that's forgotten about the referendum last year is that there had never previously been a period in which the opinion polls had consistently pointed to a majority in favour of 'Yes'.
"There really isn't much point in the SNP holding a referendum until it's clear that there is a majority - a sustained majority - in favour of doing so, because otherwise the serious risk is loss.
"Why 60% - there clearly is a serious prospect that that figure will come down under the sustained barrage of attack that there will undoubtedly be on the independence project in the event of a second referendum."
An SNP spokesman said: "As the FM set out there will only be a second referendum on independence if there is clear evidence of a shift of opinion.
"The far more urgent question is whether the UK government will honour the vow by strengthening the Scotland Act, end the unnecessary ideological austerity drive that is hurting low income households and act to protect Scotland's place in the EU."
On Thursday, Ms Sturgeon told the BBC that even a "thumping win" at next year's Scottish elections would not be enough to push for a second referendum.
Earlier, she had opened her party's Aberdeen conference calling on those against independence to vote SNP.
In an interview with the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Ms Sturgeon said the timing of a referendum vote would be "down to whether we judge, I judge, that people who voted 'No' last year have changed their minds".
And during her speech at the conference on Saturday, she reiterated that a second independence referendum would only come when the time was right.
She said the time for another Scottish independence referendum would be "when there is clear evidence" that opinion had changed and the majority of people in Scotland wanted it.
She added: "Independence matters and we will never waver in our commitment to it. But what we say about jobs, schools and hospitals matters just as much to people across Scotland."
The 328ft (100m) Leah and its crew of 10 got into difficulty a mile (1.6km) north east of Stroma at about 07:45.
The ship's anchors failed to hold it against the tide and it started drifting. Wick and Thurso lifeboat crews were alerted at about 08:00.
The Leah's crew managed to restart the engines and resume their journey to Straumsvik in Iceland.
Thurso and Wick lifeboats reached the cargo ship when it was still adrift about two miles (3km) south east of Duncansby Head.
The sea conditions were challenging with 6-9ft (2-3m) swell, a force six north-westerly wind and heavy showers.
The lifeboat crews were stood down at 10:30.
Colostrum, the first milk produced by a cow after calving, has been widely celebrated as having health benefits for humans.
Now Colostrum UK, which has a production plant in Bethesda, has started producing it for customers including Olympic athletes and Welsh professional rugby players.
Director John Rolfs described it as "real Welsh gold".
The yellow product is much denser than regular milk and has been sourced from local farms.
The company is also working with Welsh universities to prove the product can boost the immune system and improve a number of digestive conditions.
Mr Rolfs started using it himself after undergoing major surgery five years ago but had to import it from New Zealand.
"It seems strange to me that we have cows standing in the fields here and no-one is collecting it," he told BBC Radio Wales' Country Focus.
"People have been unaware of its qualities."
He said the company now has a "sizeable demand" but is trying to get more local farms on board.
"We need another 3,000 cows signed up to get through the immediate demand," he said.
"We are in the right place, among the right community, at the right time. This is the real Welsh gold; this is the secret."
Paint has been part of the Windows operating system since its release in 1985 and is known for its simplicity and basic artistic results.
Paint's successor, Paint 3D, will still be available.
The list was issued as part of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, which rolls out in the autumn.
Microsoft says that features on the list will be either removed from Windows 10 or "not in active development and might be removed in future releases".
Other features facing the axe include the Outlook Express email client, which is replaced with the built-in Mail app, and the Reader app, which will be integrated into Microsoft Edge.
The BBC has contacted Microsoft for comment.
People have expressed disappointment at the news on social media, with many tweeting "RIP" messages.
Welsh YouTuber Chaotic described Paint as "the greatest thing to have ever existed" - perhaps with tongue in cheek.
The artist known as Jim'll Paint It uses the program to create artwork on outlandish themes, commissioned by strangers. He has nearly 700,000 followers on Facebook.
"Paint hasn't been all that since they messed about with it anyway. I'm running XP on a virtual machine because it's the best one," he tweeted.
"They should just release the source and make it public domain," tweeted games developer Mike Dailly, creator of Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto.

More than 1,100 men have claimed they were abused at Medomsley in County Durham during the 1970s and 80s.
Durham Police have been interviewing former members of staff as part of a long-running investigation.
A spokesman said two men aged 58 and 69 had been arrested on suspicion of sexual and physical assault.
Interviews with former employees at the centre began in November 2014, and 16 had been identified and spoken to, he said.
The majority attended local police stations voluntarily, the spokesman said, however two were arrested and questioned before being released on police bail.
"Efforts are also in hand to trace and interview at least a dozen more former members of staff," he added.
The investigation was triggered after former prison officer Neville Husband was jailed for eight years in 2003 for abusing five youths.
The publicity surrounding the trial led to others coming forward and he was subsequently jailed for another two years for further attacks.
He died in 2010, after being released from prison.
His former colleague Leslie Johnson, who was jailed for six years in 2005, has also since died.
Since August 2013, a total of 1,123 men have contacted detectives to report they were victims of either sexual or physical assaults at Medomsley.
The sisters and their children, aged between three and 15, were due back in the UK on Thursday, Khan Solicitors said on behalf of the family.
Ten are thought to have boarded a flight to Istanbul in Turkey on 9 June.
Lawyer Balaal Khan confirmed concerns about them "travelling to Syria". West Yorkshire Police is investigating.
There has been no contact since 9 June from mother-of-two Khadija Dawood, 30, mother-of-five Sugra Dawood, 34, and mother-of-two Zohra Dawood, 33, after they left Medina in Saudi Arabia.
Their mobile telephones have not been active and their social media profiles have not been updated since then.
According to the solicitors, it is thought the group travelled to Syria where a brother of the three sisters is understood to be fighting with extremists. It is feared they have met up with him.
Police neither confirmed nor denied the claim.
The family travelled to Medina on 28 May. It is thought 10 of them boarded the flight to Istanbul, but no details have been found for five-year-old Nurah Zubair and her sister Haafiyah Zubair, eight, boarding the same flight.
In a statement released by their solicitors, the Dawood family said they were "extremely worried" and felt helpless.
Mr Khan, acting for the fathers of the missing children, said: "One of the possibilities is they travelled to Turkey to travel to Syria.
"The suspicion, and main concern, is that the women have taken their children to Syria."
He said the fathers were "concerned that their children's lives are in danger".
"[They] are distraught, they feel helpless and they don't know what to do. They want the children out of harm's way."
Police were notified five or six days ago but were limited in what they could do because it was out of their jurisdiction, he added.
West Yorkshire Police has contacted the Turkish authorities, however there have been no sightings or contacts made in Turkey, a country commonly used to as a route into Syria.
The force said it was supporting the family and working "extensively with authorities overseas to try and locate them".
Appealing for information, Assistant Chief Constable Russ Foster said: "Our priority is for their safe return; their families are gravely worried about them and want them home.
"One of our primary concerns is the safety and welfare of the young children."
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are in contact with West Yorkshire Police and Turkish authorities and are ready to provide consular assistance."
Lionel Messi's double in Glasgow ensured Rodgers' side will finish bottom of Champions League Group C.
Celtic had opened the group stage with a 7-0 defeat in Barcelona.
Rodgers said: "The team deserve a big credit. If you look at the first game compared to now, we weren't fearful."
Barcelona's victory, combined with Borussia Monchengladbach's 1-1 draw with Manchester City, ensured the final group placings are decided with one match to play.
City, who host Celtic on 6 December, will finish second behind group winners Barcelona, with Gladbach dropping into the Europa League in the New Year.
Rodgers' men fell behind on Wednesday when Neymar's chipped pass found Messi and the Argentine drilled low past Craig Gordon.
After Moussa Dembele had a header saved by visiting goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Emilio Izaguirre fouled Luis Suarez and Messi converted the penalty.
"I thought how we pressed the game tactically was very good," said Rodgers.
"They have huge quality, of course, but they didn't have anywhere near as many chances as you would normally see. I was very pleased with the performance.
"First goal we're disappointed with. We just switch off on the edge of the box. It's the quality and the speed of the movement and the pass that catches us out."
Rodgers felt his side were "always in the game" and that Suarez, whom he managed at Liverpool, had been "clever" to win the penalty.
"We had a big chance with the header, another opportunity when we broke away in the second half and then obviously we get punished for the penalty," he said.
"I didn't think it was a penalty. What Luis is clever at is he grabs hold of the defender and spins around and looks like he's pulled to the ground.
"It was a key moment. The referee didn't give us so much during the night but that's the way it goes sometimes."
Celtic, who failed to reach the group stage in the previous two seasons, came through two qualifiers and a play-off this year.
"We had a huge effort in the summer to qualify," said Rodgers. "This experience was always going to be invaluable, lots of young players in the team that will improve.
"We've played three of the best teams in Europe over the course of this competition and we've gradually got better with each game.
"We've now got to go on and make sure we can get into it next year, and each year the club is in it, it improves on and off the field. That is our ambition."
Winger Scott Sinclair was withdrawn at half-time and Rodgers said he will be monitored in the build-up to Sunday's Scottish League Cup final against Aberdeen.
"We didn't want to take any risks," he said.
Figures from data body NHS Digital show that the amount of NHS land in England earmarked for sale has more than doubled in the past year.
Analysis commissioned by Labour found 117 sites deemed surplus were still in medical or clinical use.
Ministers said selling land would give vital funds for patient care and free up space for much needed new housing.
The government has set itself a target of selling off enough public sector land to generate £5bn worth of income by 2020.
The NHS is asked to contribute as a major property owner.
NHS property being included for sale includes hospital buildings and some ambulance stations.
But Labour said hospitals were being stripped of their assets and forced into a "fire sale".
Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said: "This government's refusal to fund the health service has seen standards of care for patients drop and NHS building and upgrade works pushed back.
"The NHS needs an urgent injection of funding to make up for years of Tory underfunding, but the answer is not a blanket sell-off of sites which are currently being used for patient care."
The Department for Health said disposing of surplus land and buildings reduced running costs and it was right to put sites that were no longer needed to economic use.
It said any income generated would be used to improve the quality of the NHS.
Police said the metal was taken from the roof of Laurieston Parish Church in Polmont Road between Thurday 12 January and Sunday 15 January.
Officers said the church was undergoing repair work at the time of the theft.
They said the thieves gained access to the roof via scaffolding which had been erected as part of the work.
The Grecians made a terrible start and it was their own doing as they fell behind on seven minutes.
Goalkeeper Christy Pym saw a clearance charged down by Luke Berry and he ran out to atone for his error.
Pym then got in the way of team-mate Luke Croll, the two Exeter players leaving the ball for each other, and Berry took full advantage to nip in and roll the ball into the net from 25 yards.
On 10 minutes it was 2-0 and down to more awful defending. A long ball into the box was not dealt with and Harrison Dunk lashed a low shot past Pym from 18 yards.
Pym made a brilliant stop to deny Leon Legge and Cambridge substitute Adam McGurk dragged a shot wide after more error-prone Exeter defending.
Substitute Joel Grant gave Exeter hope when he headed in from Craig Woodman's cross on 73 minutes and Lee Holmes came close to an equaliser late on only for his short to be superbly blocked.

Instead, amid winds that got stronger as the day got longer, it became a hard grind for the best of them in the opening round of the Scottish Open.
Russell Knox was a mixture of contentment and weariness after his level-par 72 in the opening round of the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart.
"It felt like we were out there for about 10 hours," Knox said.
Trooping in after five and a hours spent fighting 25-30mph winds, Knox was three behind the pace, but it could have been a whole lot more had he not kept himself together at the tail end of the draw and in the most difficult conditions of the day.
"It was about as windy as you can play golf in. It was a long ,long day. Tricky conditions. I'm going to sleep good tonight."
Knox was happy, but also frustrated. He levelled criticism at the way par-5 18th hole was set-up, a brute that played directly into the wind.
"It was a terrible set-up on that hole in my opinion. It was 600 yards (actually it was 607 yards) into a 30mph wind. They could have moved the tee up. I disagree with that hole. I hit three good shots and then three bad putts (for a bogey six).
"All day you had to put so much thought into every shot. You know, 140 yards into a 25mph wind plays 180 yards. We were constantly thinking and that makes it hard.
"It was very close to being unplayable. On a couple of the exposed holes the ball was moving a little bit. They could quite easily have stopped it.
"Our group backed off putts about ten times. It took five and a half hours but I don't think we could have played much faster."
An illustration of the havoc the wind was causing came again on the 16th and 17th holes, the former a 337-yard par 4 and the latter a 226-yard par 3.
"I needed to hit more club on the par 3 than I did on the par 4. That shows you. It was goofy golf, but I hung in there. I'm happy but I've got to go out and do it again."
Greek MPs passed a law to give back jobs to some 4,000 workers who were laid off under severe austerity cuts.
It comes as Athens seeks a deal on more financial aid ahead of a meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Monday.
Greece is running out of money as it has to pay €750m ($845m; £555m) to the International Monetary Fund on 12 May.
International creditors have demanded cuts in spending, including plans to trim the civil service and privatisation of state assets, in order for Greece to continue receiving loans.
On Thursday, the Greek parliament adopted a bill to rehire school guards, cleaning ladies and civil servants who lost their jobs or were earmarked for dismissal under the austerity programme.
Last year, 32 cleaning ladies sacked by the Greek finance ministry came to the European Parliament in Strasbourg in France to plead their case.
The insistence of the cleaners - who were replaced by cheaper workers - made them famous all over Greece.
Thursday's bill in the Greek parliament does not violate the terms of a massive bailout by the EU and IMF, which allows Athens to hire one public employee for every five who leave.
But the move - combined with the reopening of the public broadcaster ERT - is likely to face criticism from the eurozone negotiators.
Euclid Tsakalotos, the Greek minister leading the talks with creditors, told the BBC it was time for the EU and IMF to show they supported Athens in its desire to do things a little differently.
"We have said from the beginning that we have red lines and we need to have the flexibility that our partners said would be available to us."
"There must be things that we support, that we bring to the table with a different logic. Because if there was nothing with a different logic, why wouldn't we have just supported the old regime in the first place?"
The talks with the IMF and EU are expected to continue over the weekend.
EU officials say a deal is unlikely before Greece has to make the IMF payment on Tuesday, the BBC's Europe correspondent Chris Morris says.
Eurozone officials say no further loans will be released until further economic reforms have been agreed.
For a radical left-wing government - which was elected on a promise of ending austerity - that is proving a difficult pill to swallow, our correspondent adds.
Greece needs progress at Monday's meeting because that is likely to affect the willingness of the European Central Bank to allow the continued emergency lending that is keeping Greek commercial banks afloat.
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis insisted the country would meet Tuesday's deadline.
He also rejected the view that his country had been reckless with bailout money, saying that 91% of the bailout funds his country had received so far had been spent on repaying banks, particularly northern European banks such as Germany's - rather than helping Greece's economy.
And he again stressed that Greece had no intention of leaving the euro.
Greece met its deadline on Wednesday for a repayment for €200m.

Figures released today show that Nigeria is officially in recession for the first time in more than a decade. But why is it struggling and how are people coping?
He was shot by loyalist paramilitaries in front of his young family at their home in Belfast in February 1989.
Geraldine Finucane challenged former Prime Minister David Cameron over his refusal to hold a public inquiry.
But the Court of Appeal in Belfast has dismissed her appeal, concluding the government had acted lawfully.
It ruled ministers were entitled to depart from the policies of previous governments.
It also emerged during the judgement that the PSNI was close to completing an investigation into new information about the shooting.
In taking the case, Mrs Finucane had argued that in 2004, a previous administration - Tony's Blair's Labour government - had promised that a public inquiry would be held.
But she said Mr Cameron reneged on that and instead commissioned a review of the case by Sir Desmond de Silva QC.
The de Silva report, published in 2012, found that agents of the state were involved in the 1989 killing and that it should have been prevented.
The new information being investigated by the PSNI was uncovered during Mr da Silva's review.
A senior judge told the Court of Appeal it was his understanding that a PSNI report would be finished "within weeks".
The 30-year-old, who is third in the Test bowling rankings, has joined as a replacement for injured Australia all-rounder John Hastings.
He has taken 292 wickets and scored 2,035 runs in 52 Tests for India.
"Ravi is a fantastic international cricketer who is currently in terrific form with his game," said the county's director of cricket Steve Rhodes.
Ashwin took 17 wickets in three Tests as India completed a whitewash in Sri Lanka on Monday.
He also took 28 wickets in India's 4-0 series win against England at the end of last year.
His first spell in English county cricket will be as part of a Worcestershire team chasing promotion from Division Two of the Championship.
Worcestershire are in the second promotion spot with four games left, but Northamptonshire, Sussex and Kent are all within 17 points and also have a game in hand.
"It is a really important last few games in the Championship and to have someone of his class is a huge boost for the club," Rhodes added.
"The good thing about Ravi is he has been successful on all types of pitches in all sorts of different countries. He is a class bowler who will bowl well here."
It is understood India's chairman of selectors, MSK Prasad, wants to give players experience in English conditions ahead of the five-Test series against England in 2018.
India captain Virat Kohli has previously said he "would love" to play county cricket before next summer's Test series.
Following BP, Centrica and Shell, the words of Bob Keiller reveal yet another senior oil and gas executive who has bad news and job losses to announce concerning the North Sea.
Based in Aberdeen, 1,000 of Wood Group's 11,000 strong UK work force have left the business since December.
Globally, a further 4,000 jobs have gone. That low oil price is biting. Revenues and profits are down markedly.
Wood Group is in the oil and gas services industry - providing the plumbing for the likes of BP and Shell which explore for and refine oil. Wood Group builds and supports the vital engineering and technical infrastructure to do it.
The whole sector is important, worth £27bn to the British economy. Malcolm Webb, the former chief executive of Oil and Gas UK, described it as a "core component of the UK's engineering and manufacturing base" which "enjoys a worldwide reputation for excellence and innovation honed over 40 years at the cutting edge of exploration and production".
And it is for that reason that it is worth listening when Mr Keiller says that - despite the rapid fall in the oil price - the North Sea is still a vital part of the UK's manufacturing future.
"We have a fantastic engineering skills base here in the UK," Mr Keiller said.
"It creates high quality job opportunities that can be exported to many different countries around the world. I have people in Aberdeen designing the most sophisticated sub-sea oil and gas developments for deep water offshore for South America and Africa and elsewhere.
"These high quality jobs can exist way beyond the life of the North Sea."
Engineering skills are a valuable export for the UK and go some way to rebalancing the British economy, seen by many as too reliant on the financial services of the City for comfort.
"[It] often goes unnoticed," Mr Keiller says. "There is a legacy that should not easily be let go. Collectively we need to work together to protect that skills base."
Yes, there are significant headwinds for Britain's oil and gas industry, but the sector still employs 400,000 people.
"The North Sea faced three clear challenges," Mr Keiller says. "Firstly the cost challenge [the sector was operating too expensively], also there was the challenge of the punitive tax regime that was in place; and the regulator wasn't necessarily set up to maximise economic recovery."
There has been movement on all three, with costs and taxes cut and a new regulator in the shape of the Oil and Gas Authority.
I ask Mr Keiller whether the oil price is likely to increase any time soon.
"Anyone who is in the business of predicting the oil price probably gets it wrong so I am not really keen [to make predictions]. At the moment there is no immediate sign of upward pressure.
"We have to assume the conditions are not going to improve."
There could be more job losses - although Mr Keiller is careful to say nothing is planned at present.
But, amid the gloomy predictions, many parts of the North Sea oil and gas sector are thriving.
Qatari Diar, the construction arm of the country, has put it under review.
Planning permission is already in place for 448 houses and flats, a sports centre and retail outlets.
Westminster City Council said it wanted to see the scheme move forward but Chelsea Barracks Action Group said it was relieved by the delay.
The barracks housed the Queen's Guard and was built in 1860. It was sold by the Ministry of Defence to Qatari Diar in 2007 for £959m.
The site has remained undeveloped since the last troops vacated the premises in 2008.
Councillor Jonathan Glanz, cabinet member for housing and property at the council, said: "Looking across the site now, there's a huge opportunity to create housing which is much needed in Westminster.
"We would like to see this moving forward, we would like to see these homes coming out of the ground and we would like to see the benefits that were negotiated by Westminster."
If the scheme goes ahead, Qatari Diar would have to contribute £78m to the council's housing fund.
In a statement, the company said it would "review and respond" to the "economic environment" as it prepared for the next stage of the development.
The statement added: "The revised timetable for appointing architects, developing the detailed designs for and submitting the planning application for phase one is not yet finalised. We look forward to providing further details in due course."
Mr Glanz said the pause was disappointing because 123 affordable homes would have been built on the site. Although the council has other funds to help pay for affordable homes in the area, it would have been "a very useful contribution".
He added that, if the company did pull out altogether, he would be surprised if nobody else took over the site because of the success of the nearby Battersea Power Station redevelopment which recently saw £600m worth of homes sold in a day.
He said: "There is a huge opportunity here to provide homes for people who really need them."
Chelsea Barracks Action Group has always opposed the plans, saying the buildings will "loom over this very classical part of London".
Chair Georgine Thorburn said: "We quite like it without anything on the site.
"For all the local residents, we're going to have to put up with five years of building six days a week, it's going to be very stressful.
"While the site is empty and everything is quiet, quite a lot of people living by the barracks have fabulous views and we like the calm so long may it last."
The development of the site has also attracted criticism from Prince Charles who described a previous 17-storey design as "insane" and an "experiment with the soul of the city".
Architect Lord Rogers criticised the prince, saying he was "wrong" to express his views.
And he thinks the 46-year-old Scot is an ideal position to become Europe's Solheim Cup captain in 2019.
Matthew was this week named as vice-captain for the 2017 event.
"I think she is one of the most under-rated Scottish and probably British sportswomen there are," said Paulding about the 2009 British Open champion.
"It is phenomenal what she's done in her career - over 100 top 10s on the ladies tour in the US.
"She has played in something like eight Solheim Cups - and a number of those teams won against the US.
"If she was a male player, she would have a completely different profile than she does."
Matthew, who will compete for Team GB at the Rio Olympics, is hoping to combine her vice-captaincy with playing in the next Solheim Cup team - but could concentrate on captaincy when the event comes to Gleneagles in 2019.
"Catriona has always said she would be winding down her golf [by then]," Paulding told BBC Scotland.
"She has achieved just about everything she can and her Olympics selection is a one-off fantastic opportunity.
"Her vice-captaincy does set her up nicely to be captain at Gleneagles two years later.
"I would hope and love to see her as captain. It would be a glittering recognition of what has been a fantastic career."
Matthew is competing at the Ladies Scottish Open at Dundonald Links, where action began on Thursday morning.
Paulding is hopeful the veteran will help inspire the next generation of top Scottish female golfers.
"Catriona is on our performance committee and she is trying to give back more and more to Scottish golf," he said.
"There is a bit of generational gap, where we've got some successful late 30s and 40-year-old males and we haven't had the mid-20s coming through.
"It's very different on the ladies' game - we've got a great crop of young female players who have come through.
"But the dynamics are different. A number of the females decide that there isn't enough money to make a career out of it and they actually play as amateur golfers a little bit longer."
Bentley, 22, and Sawyers, 24, have agreed four-year deals with the Bees while Egan, 23, has signed a three-year contract at Griffin Park.
Sawyers joins on a free transfer after leaving Walsall while Southend and Gillingham are entitled to compensation for Bentley and Egan respectively.
The Championship club are in talks with the Shrimpers and the Gills.
The trio become Brentford's first three signings of the summer transfer window.
Bentley came through Southend's youth system and made 160 appearances for the Essex club after making his debut in 2011.
Former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Egan, who can play at centre-back or right-back, scored 11 times in 92 games during two years at Gillingham after joining from Sunderland.
Saint Kitts and Nevis international Sawyers, who worked with Brentford head coach Dean Smith at Walsall, scored 19 goals in 162 outings during three years with the Saddlers.
Meanwhile, Brentford have appointed former boss Andy Scott as chief scout at Griffin Park.

The 29-year-old left Swansea in November after agreeing a financial settlement with the club for his departure.
He has been training with the club in north-west Spain since returning home.
Michu was Swansea's top scorer in the 2012-13 season with 22 goals in a spectacular first term following a £2m move from Rayo Vallecano.
But prior to his release, the striker had not played for Swansea since April 2014.
The Spain international spent last season on loan at Napoli but injuries meant he only played six times for the Italian side.
He returned to Wales after the Serie A club opted not to buy him but was not part of former Swansea manager Garry Monk's plans.

David George, 21, Joshua Tiloye, 22, both from Hertfordshire, and Domingo Nsita, 29, from Wembley, raided Justice Jewellers in Winchester on 15 April.
The men pleaded guilty to robbery and possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear.
George and Tiloye were jailed for 10 years while Nsita received a 12-year sentence at Winchester Crown Court.
Police said George and Tiloye entered the store wearing motorcycle helmets and threatened the owner with a gas-powered BB gun.
They grabbed watches and jewellery but officers were already on their way after witnesses, including staff in a nearby travel agents, raised the alarm.
Getaway driver Nsita was arrested after he had his escape route blocked by a bin lorry, while the other two were caught on foot after members of the public pointed them out to police.
The gun, a hammer, face masks and all of the jewellery was recovered.
Judge Keith Cutler praised the role of members of the public in directing police towards the raiders.
He said the crime had "shocked Winchester to the core".
Det Con Darrin Carey said: "Thanks to the swift actions of our officers these three dangerous men have been taken off the streets of Hampshire.

The blizzard of claims and counter-claims by politicians can seem bewildering, so what faith should voters put in the views of their employer?
The BBC has today seen three examples of big employers intervening, by warning staff of the dangers of leaving the EU.
While all of them stressed it is up to individual voters to decide for themselves, they all made it clear on which side the company's bread was buttered. One company's chairman takes the opposite view.
Microsoft told its employees: "As a business that is very committed to this country, our view is that the UK should remain in the EU."
Aviva went further, warning that "the pound is already slipping, the stock market could fall steeply, interest rates could rise and the economy could go into reverse".
And United Technologies - the US manufacturing company behind engine maker Pratt and Whitney and Otis lifts - had the strongest warning. An internal memo to staff warns that leaving the EU "would create years of uncertainty, jeopardising investment and jobs".
In the Leave camp, Tim Martin, chairman of pub chain Wetherspoons, has already penned a long pro-leave article in the company magazine which finished with the line: "Continuing to give away power to the unelected elite in Brussels is a dangerous and unpredictable path."
Is it appropriate for company bosses to get involved in this way?
Yes - According to the CBI, "Responsible business leaders should give their employees the choice to hear what impact a Brexit would have on company growth, their jobs and their local community"
No - Vote Leave said the implicit threat to jobs amounted to intimidation.
John Longworth, chairman of the Vote Leave Business Council, said: "I've never seen such an establishment stitch-up. It's highly regrettable to see big corporate bosses plotting to gang up on their staff and lecture them on how to vote."
As I've said before in this blog, the lessons from the Scottish Referendum on these tactics are inconclusive.
Did the warning from major employers such as RBS and Lloyds (both partly owned by the government) that they would move their HQs to London scare voters into voting to stay, or did it antagonise floaters and end up backfiring?
After all, the referendum is by secret ballot and employers will never know how their staff voted.
There is one common denominator. In both cases, the leavers feel outgunned on the campaign trail. Vote Leave points out that the government's decision to spend £9m of public money on a single pro-EU leaflet is more than the £7m it is allowed by the Electoral Commission to spend over the entire campaign.
That is not to say that Vote Leave is struggling for money - it has plenty of rich friends of its own.
Donations to groups favouring Brexit currently stand at £8.2m - 10% more that the £7.5m raised by the Remainers.
Vote Leave say that is not enough of an equaliser when you are up against "the establishment".

The blaze has been raging at Alexandra Docks in Newport since 17:00 GMT on Saturday.
South Wales fire service said it had broken out at a timber mill and 30 firefighters were at the scene.
Residents are advised to stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed to avoid smoke and ash caused by the the blaze.
Environment body Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said it was working with the site owners, fire service and Public Health Wales to minimise the impact of smoke.
Sarah Jones, a consultant in environmental health protection, said: "Some people may experience symptoms such as nausea, headaches or dizziness as a reaction to odour, even when the substances that cause those smells are themselves not harmful to health."
The 30-year-old Russian was denied a wildcard for the French Open, with tournament officials saying her doping suspension counted against her.
Sharapova will have to win through three qualifying rounds to earn a spot in Wimbledon's 128-strong main draw.
Qualifying in Roehampton will be ticketed for the first time this year.
"Because of my improved ranking after the first three tournaments of my return, I will also be playing the qualifying of Wimbledon in Roehampton, and will not be requesting a wildcard into the main draw," said Sharapova in a statement on her website.
Sharapova is ranked 211th in the world - below the status needed for direct entry into the main draw - but her recent form is good enough to earn a place in qualifying.
Had she reached the Italian Open semi-finals last week, Sharapova would have climbed high enough to make the main draw automatically, but she retired in her second-round match.
Had she applied for a wildcard it would have been reviewed by a Wimbledon committee, with a decision to be announced on 20 June.
Wildcards are "usually offered on the basis of past performance at Wimbledon or to increase British interest".
The Women's Tennis Association criticised the basis for the French Open's decision, saying there are "no grounds to penalise any player beyond the sanctions set forth in the final decisions resolving these matters".
Sharapova herself tweeted in apparent response to Roland Garros' decision.
"If this is what it takes to rise up again, then I am in it all the way, everyday," she wrote.
"No words, games, or actions will ever stop me reaching my own dreams."
However, former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash was one of several prominent figures urging the All England Club not offer the 2004 champion a route straight back into the main draw.
Tickets to Wimbledon qualifying will be £5 each, with all funds going to the Wimbledon Foundation.
Ronaldo looked unhappy after being taken off 18 minutes from the end of Real's 2-2 La Liga draw at Las Palmas on Saturday.
"I know he always wants to play and always wants to stay on the field," said Real coach Zidane.
"But I also have to think about the players and for me it was best to rest and think about Tuesday."
On Tuesday, Champions League holders Real Madrid are away to Borussia Dortmund, who also won their opening Group F match in this season's competition.
Ronaldo missed a couple of chances against Las Palmas as the La Liga leaders dropped points for the second successive game after conceding an 84th-minute equaliser.
The 31-year-old has scored twice in four appearances for Real this season, having missed their opening two La Liga games as he recovered from a knee injury sustained during Portugal's Euro 2016 final win over France.
Ronaldo, the three-time world player of the year, has rarely been replaced during games in his seven years at Real.
But Zidane, who took over as coach in January 2016, warned it may happen again.
He added: "I have to take him off sometimes and tonight we did it. That isn't going to change what we are going to continue to do."
A disturbance, involving a group of youths, took place at Sydney Russell School in Dagenham on Wednesday afternoon, police said.
Three boys aged 12, 13 and 15 have been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
Two of the injured pupils have been discharged while the third remains in hospital.
The three victims are believed to be two girls and a boy.
All those involved were pupils at the school, the Metropolitan Police said.
The school was rated outstanding by Ofsted at its last inspection. The school itself has yet to comment on the incident.
Hundreds of farmers supplying chickens to the poultry processing company are recipients of the heating subsidy.
Earlier Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said the meeting had raised "fresh concerns" over the operation of the scheme.
Poultry farmers use the wood chip boilers to heat the buildings where chicks are housed.
Many took advantage of the scheme to replace LPG heating systems.
In his statement, Mr Ó Muilleoir said the Moy Park briefing with his officials had raised "further issues".
But in a statement the company made no reference to any concerns about the operation of the scheme.
It said it had met officials from the departments of economy and finance in order to help find a solution "to secure the Northern Ireland RHI scheme within budget".
It said it had extensive experience of "benchmarked energy use" in the poultry industry.
That appears to be a reference to attempts to establish what would be considered acceptable levels of heat use by poultry farms.
Moy Park said it advocated "responsible use of heat".
The finance minister also said cost control proposals had been submitted to his department by Department of Economy officials on Monday evening only to be withdrawn 10 minutes later.
Mr Ó Muilleoir has already described the proposed cost control measures as a "sticking plaster".
He said he wasn't interested in a "botched solution to the RHI scandal".
The scheme to create a "strategic business park" off the M1 close to junction 36 in the Dearne Valley was backed by the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority.
Road building along the site is expected to start in October 2015.
The authority said it would allow potential employment and housing sites to develop.
After giving the scheme approval, the authority said in a statement: "This will allow work to take place on the key highway connections along the Dearne Valley Parkway and will see the provision of access roads along with the preparation of additional sites along the route.
"It will provide businesses with the right infrastructure they need to thrive and is essential in helping to attract and retain new and existing businesses.
"There will be significant impact on the number and proportion of private sector jobs in Barnsley."
The Sheffield City Region Combined Authority is made up of councillors from Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster and Sheffield along with others from parts of neighbouring Derbyshire.
The Carroll family, from Newtownabbey, County Antrim, and the Hughes family from Belfast cannot get home because their Easyjet flights were cancelled.
They were offered replacement flights but the planes depart late next week.
Easyjet said the strike was outside its control and was "doing everything possible to limit the inconvenience".
Robert Carroll travelled to Spain 11-days ago for a family holiday with his wife and three children in Salou.
Their flight home from Barcelona to Belfast was cancelled on Wednesday afternoon, on the first day of a two-day strike by air traffic controllers in France.
The dispute, over working conditions, led to several airlines cancelling hundreds of flights across Europe.
The couple, who are both due back at work in Northern Ireland, had not budgeted for an extra week in Spain.
Mr Carroll described a scene of delays and confusion when they got to their airport in Barcelona.
"After waiting in a queue for Easyjet for three hours, we were told we were going to a hotel, so we queued for a bus for another hour," he told BBC Radio Ulster.
After the family were bussed to the hotel, they said they had to queue at reception for an hour and a half before being told that there were no rooms left.
"They then sent us back to the terminal, who then sent us to another hotel, who told us they can only take us for two nights," Mr Carroll said.
"So we're here for two nights. Then after that we have to make our way back to the terminal, at a cost of 60 euros (£44) to ourselves, to find out where we're going to stay for another couple of nights."
Mr Carroll said he accepted that Easyjet had no control over the strike, but criticised the airline for "sending us to places that don't have any rooms".
He added that his wife has had to take unpaid leave from her job because of the unforeseen extension to their stay.
Although Easyjet is providing a replacement flight and free accommodation, the family are running low on money.
"If we had to go out and spend money it would have to come out of money to pay for other things We have been in Salou for 11 days so our spending money is depleted," Mr Carroll said.
Brenda Hughes was trying to get home to Belfast after a week's holiday in Benidorm, Spain, with her elderly mother and teenage son.
She said they were told their flight home was cancelled shortly after they checked their bags in at Alicante airport on Wednesday night.
Ms Hughes described the situation in the airport as "horrendous".
She said they had to stand in a queue for six hours, waiting to speak to the two Easyjet staff members on the information desk.
The airline has offered the family a replacement flight home but no seats are available until next Thursday, 16 April.
Ms Hughes said it will mean her son will miss a week of school and she will have to take extra time off from her job as a GP receptionist in Belfast.
She added that her 76-year-old mother requires daily medication and does not have enough tablets to last another week in Spain.
Ms Hughes also criticised staff at the airport, saying passengers, including children and elderly people, were not offered as a much as "a sip of water" during the six-hour wait.
The family were bussed to a hotel at about 03:00 local time on Thursday.
Ms Hughes said they have no money left after their holiday and are concerned about the cost of food in their four-star hotel.
In a statement to the BBC, an Easyjet spokesperson said the airline "worked hard to secure hotel rooms and transferred all passenger onto alternative flights free of charge".
"Due to the high demand on these routes some upcoming flights may not be available, but our airport staff are currently looking at other rerouting options for passengers."
"Although this is outside of our control, EasyJet would like to apologise to its customers for any inconvenience caused."
Addressing the accommodation complaints, the airline said it has "booked two nights for passengers at the moment as we do expect some will travel back on their own accord".
"We will continue to review the situation and provide hotel rooms for passengers until the next flights are available."
In a televised interview, Mr Hollande acknowledged he had made mistakes since taking office in 2012 but vowed to go "to the end" to reform the economy.
The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Paris says the interview is widely seen as an attempt by Mr Hollande to revive his flagging popularity.
Earlier on Thursday, a new poll put the president's approval rating at 12%.
Unemployment in France is currently at 11% and economic growth has all but ground to a halt.
With Mr Hollande's popularity at an all-time low, the far-right Front National led by Marine Le Pen has been making steady gains.
"I've got a thick skin. For two-and-a-half years I've been hanging on," said Mr Hollande.
"I have made mistakes. Who hasn't?"
The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Paris writes:
Bruised by personal scandal, with his popularity sunk to 12% and a rebellion growing within his party, this was a key moment for Mr Hollande to reclaim some support.
At times nervous, frequently interrupting his challengers, he fielded questions from voters about his personal life, rising unemployment and France's business environment. He had some tough debates, and announced some small initiatives to help those seeking work, but this felt more like an endurance test than a magic bullet.
The stakes, though, were high. France is beset by rising unemployment and high levels of debt, and Mr Hollande's reforms have yet to bear fruit.
"I am not deaf. I hear the anger. I see the dissatisfaction, and I have to go faster," he said.
Having been elected on a promise to boost employment, Mr Hollande admitted that jobs had not materialised and staked his political future on turning the situation around.
Referring to his failed promise to "invert the trend" of unemployment, he said: "Do you think I can say to the French people, 'I didn't manage it for five years, but I promise I'll do it in the next five?' It doesn't work like that.
"If I don't manage it before the end of my term, do you think I will go before the French people in 2017? The French people would be unyielding and they would be right."
However, Mr Hollande vowed to go "to the end to reform France... to make it stronger in the two and a half years I have left".
He also promised that from next year there would be no additional tax "on anyone".
The president was questioned in the live TV programme by journalists and members of the public.
At one point a businesswoman chided him for using overly official language, telling him to "speak French".
John Arthur Jones, 65, of Bodffordd, denies 13 counts of recklessly or negligently acting in a manner likely to endanger aircraft or persons in an aircraft.
The trial at Mold Crown Court heard Mr Jones lived near the Mona airfield.
The jury was told he was "annoyed" by activity in the skies over his land.
John Philpotts, prosecuting, told the court 208 Squadron, which trains fast jet pilots, is based at RAF Valley and uses Mona airfield as part of the training for Hawk pilots.
"An important part of their training involves night flying," he said, including take off and landing.
He added: "It's the prosecution's case that Mr Jones endangered aircraft and their pilots repeatedly... and he did that, the prosecution say, by shining a bright light into the cockpits."
Mr Jones kept detailed notes of RAF activity and, Mr Philpotts said: "He was a man on a mission so far as RAF Valley was concerned."
The trial continues.
The group of around 50 off-road motorcycles and quad bikes brought Kirkstall Road, a major route into Leeds, to a standstill on Monday night.
Witnesses posted videos on Twitter and described the scenes as "utter chaos" and "madness" and compared them to those in the Mel Gibson film Mad Max.
A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Police closed the road until the group had dispersed.
Up to 200 bikers 'rode amok' on roads
Videos posted online show bikers riding in convoy, with some pulling wheelies. Others can be seen riding on the pavement.
There were also reports of vehicles being driven around pedestrianised parts of Leeds city centre, according to some witnesses.
Kirkstall Road was believed to have closed for around 90 minutes while drivers on other roads around the city also reported similar problems.
A police helicopter also attended the incident.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed the event had been organised on social media and the road was closed in order to resolve the situation. It said the group had dispersed by about 22:00 GMT.
The force said detectives were trying to "identify those involved and take robust action against them".
On Sunday, the Met Police arrested eight men for failing to stop during a similar "ride-out" in London.
Officers used tyre deflation devices to stop 17 motorbikes and three quad bikes.

Zane Gbangbola, seven, died after his home in Chertsey was engulfed by what his family believes was contaminated floodwater.
His parents have disputed tests which indicate he was killed by carbon monoxide from the pump.
Zane's mother Nicole told an inquest into his death she felt "vilified" by suggestions she had used it inside.
Ms Lawler found her son not breathing in the early hours of 8 February 2014. He later died in hospital.
On the second day of an inquest into his death at Woking Coroner's Court she repeatedly denied using the device to drain their basement.
Ms Lawler and Zane's father, Kye Gbangbola, believe floodwater was contaminated with hydrogen cyanide from a lake built on an old landfill site next door.
Mr Gbangbola was left paraplegic as a result of the same incident.
Christopher Coltart QC for Surrey Hire and Sales Ltd, which hired out the pump, told the court Ms Lawler made a statement to police in which she said she had used it "sporadically" on 7 February.
He said she also spoke to a doctor the morning Zane died and told him they had been using the pump to drain their basement.
Ms Lawler said the pump was switched on to check it worked then switched off again.
Mr Coltart claimed there was a "fundamental conflict" in Ms Lawler's evidence about how she was advised to use the pump.
He said: "My client's account is that you were told not to use the pump indoors."
Ms Lawler denied this. "Both of them told me as long as the window's open, that's fine," she said.
She continued: "I would not have a child in a house with a petrol pump going."
Mr Coltart put it to her that Mr Gbangbola had a "falling out" with officers who were due to take his statement, leading him to write his own.
She agreed and said: "I know why they were falling out - it was about the disgusting way they spoke about our son's body."
Ms Lawler said she felt under pressure to sign a statement about her son's death.
She said the police behaviour was "abusive" and officers had been removed from the case.
An initial post-mortem examination into his Zane's death proved inconclusive.
The inquest continues.
Player-of-the-match Helen Housby was in inspired form as Thunder ran out 62-37 victors against Team Bath, who had gone into the match with two wins from two.
Hertfordshire Mavericks are the only other team to remain unbeaten, after Monday's 62-45 win at Team Northumbria.
Elsewhere, Loughborough Lightning beat Celtic Dragons 58-53 and Surrey Storm sealed a 59-36 win over Yorkshire Jets.
Storm, champions in 2015, were beaten by Team Bath on the opening weekend but have since bounced back to record two victories in a row, while Jets remain bottom of the table with three defeats from three matches.
Like Team Northumbria, Dragons are also yet to pick up a point in 2016 following their narrow defeat by Lightning.
The hosts started the brightest and striker Mangan opened the scoring on 12 minutes as he found the back of the net with a great curling effort from the left side of the penalty area.
Four minutes later, the former Bolton youth player sent home another chance before the referee's assistant chalked it out for offside, but he made no mistake as he fired through Torquay goalkeeper Brendan Moore's legs to double his tally at the start of the second half.
The Gulls pulled one back just after the hour as Lee Vaughan miscued a pass back to Scott Davies and Dan Sparkes took advantage and reduced the deficit, but Rovers held on for maximum points which saw them move up a spot to fourth.

A spokesperson for the luxury brand said it was too expensive and time-consuming to renovate Temple Works.
Proposals for the £50m manufacturing and weaving facility creating more than 200 jobs are still on hold while Burberry considers its future plans.
The news comes as the retailer unveiled rising first quarter sales.
More stories from across Yorkshire
Chief finance officer Julie Brown said: "We have decided not to push ahead with the Temple Works building. We have let the option lapse."
But the company told the BBC it was "still looking at land" adjacent to the building while it was "continuing to think through our plans" for the factory.
In a statement, a spokesperson said the company remained "committed to the city and the region".
On Wednesday, it reported a 3% increase in retail sales to £478m in the three months to 30 June, while like-for-like sales rose 4%, driven by demand from China and the UK.
Burberry, best known for its trench coats and distinctive checked patterns, announced its intention for a new facility in Leeds South Bank in November 2015.
However in April the group said it was "taking a moment to think through" its plans despite an "exceptional" performance in the UK.
The following month it revealed 300 jobs across finance, HR and procurement, customer service and IT would be relocated from its London offices to Leeds in a bid to save £100m.
US Gen Philip Breedlove said they were "weaponising" migration to destabilise and undermine the continent.
He also suggested that criminals, extremists and fighters were hiding in the flow of migrants.
Migrants are continuing to accumulate in Greece, after Macedonia stopped allowing more than a trickle through.
On Wednesday it allowed around 200 Syrian and Iraqi refugees to cross, with thousands still stuck on the Greek side of the border.
New figures suggest last year's total of one million seaborne migrants arriving in Europe could be matched well before the end of the year.
Another Cold War?
Crisis in seven charts
Desperate migrants plead to flee 'hellish' camp
Europe 'on cusp of self-induced crisis'
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said nearly 129,500 migrants had arrived by sea so far in 2016, plus another 1,545 by land. It said 418 had drowned or were missing.
The crisis has caused tensions to surge, with Greece struggling to cope with the influx and the European Commission criticising Macedonia for using tear gas on a crowd of migrants on Monday morning.
"The scenes we just saw are not our idea of managing the crisis," said EC spokesman Margaritis Schinas.
In the Jungle camp of migrants in Calais, France, the demolition of the southern half of the camp continues - in what the government has termed a humanitarian operation but which critics say will just leave hundreds of desperate migrants without shelter in winter.
A volunteer with an aid organisation in the camp told the BBC that children were in danger in the camp, saying that she had spoken to children who had been raped and who were carrying out sex work.
Gen Breedlove is the head of the US European Command as well as Nato's Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
He told the US Senate Armed Services Committee that the crisis was allowing Russia to use non-military means to create divisions in the Nato alliance and Europe.
Greece is now the bottleneck in the migration crisis and six years of deep financial crisis have reduced the ability of the Greek state to respond quickly and effectively on its own. So the European Commission is assuming that it will have to help Greece look after a shifting population of about 100,000 refugees and migrants for the foreseeable future.
But that figure only makes sense if considerable progress is also made in reducing the number of arrivals by sea, from Turkey into the Greek islands. The rate of arrivals has fallen in recent days, but the average so far this year is close to 2,000 people per day. That means greater co-operation from Turkey remains essential if the EU is to succeed.
One sign of progress is the announcement that about 300 irregular migrants from North Africa are being returned to Turkey from Greece this week, under a little-used bilateral agreement. But its effect will be limited. The vast majority of recent arrivals are from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - three countries in which civil wars continue to rage, and from which asylum applications are routinely accepted.
So the strain on the system in Greece will continue to be substantial. And the fact that huge amounts of European humanitarian aid will be spent here, in the same way that it's spent in conflict zones in the developing world, is a striking symbol of the depth of Europe's migration crisis.
Russia and Syria's leader Bashar al-Assad, Gen Breedlove said, were "deliberately weaponising migration in an attempt to overwhelm European structures and break European resolve".
He cited the use of barrel bombs - unguided weapons - against civilians in Syria. The only purpose of these indiscriminate attacks was to terrorise Syrian citizens and "get them on the road" to create problems for other countries, Gen Breedlove said.
Gen Breedlove added that violent extremists, fighters and criminals - including elements from the extremist Islamic State group - were in the mix of migrants.
He said he had requested that more US forces be permanently based in Europe. Their numbers have dropped from a Cold War high of half a million to about 62,000.
The European Commission has now adopted plans to disburse €700m (£543m; $760m) of emergency humanitarian funding between 2016-18 to help tackle the crisis, says humanitarian aid commissioner Christos Stylianides.
Under the plan, which still needs approval by the European Council and Parliament:
Greece has asked the European Commission for nearly €500m in assistance to help care for 100,000 asylum seekers.
"We cannot bear the strain of all the refugees coming here," government spokeswoman Olga Gerovassili was quoted as saying.
Despite commitments to relocate 66,400 refugees from Greece, EU member states have so far pledged just 1,539 spaces and only 325 people have actually been relocated, Reuters quoted a spokesman for the UN refugee agency as saying.
Meanwhile Turkey has expressed frustration at the lack of a common position from the EU on the crisis.
"If the burden is going to be lifted from Turkey, we should be hearing something about... giving the Syrians a legal possibility so they can go to EU countries without having to brave the waters... the EU has to get its act in order," Selim Yenel, the Turkish ambassador to the EU, told the BBC's HardTalk programme.
Paul Mason, of Ipswich, used to weigh 70 stone (440kg) but has lost more than 40 stone (254kg) with the help of gastric band surgery.
He is to have excess skin removed in New York but his visa application has been delayed due to a conviction.
Mr Mason, 53, said he hoped senator Elizabeth Warren could help his cause.
Ms Warren, who has declined to comment, is a senator in Massachusetts, where Mr Mason's fiancé Rebecca Mountain lives.
"I've asked Rebecca's senator if she could help get my visa application granted, on medical grounds," Mr Mason said. "I think they could take notice if she got involved."
Mr Mason built up a relationship with Rebecca Mountain online, after she had seen the coverage of his battle with obesity.
He travelled to the US in December for a consultation with Dr Jennifer Capla, who has offered to perform the operations, and to appear on the television programme The View.
During the recording, Miss Mountain asked him to marry her.
Mr Mason was due to return to the US for surgery, but his visa application was referred to Homeland Security in March because of a conviction for fraud in 1986.
"It's just a matter of waiting again," Mr Mason said. "But the longer they delay it the more prone I am to infections and permanent damage to my bladder and kidneys. I'm hoping they'll grant the visa quickly."
The excess skin operations could help Mr Mason shed a further seven stone (44kg) from his current weight.
"They will also make me more mobile and allow me to get on with my life," he said.
The distinctive patterned blue and grey number is seen in a picture of Guzman shaking hands with US actor Sean Penn in Rolling Stone magazine.
Penn interviewed fugitive Guzman in October. He was recaptured on Friday.
The company behind the shirt, Barabas, quickly advertised the "celebrity link" on its website.
However, it said it did not know how Guzman had got hold of one of its shirts
Barabas published the now famous picture of the meeting between Sean Penn and Guzman, who at the time that the image was taken, was on the run from the Mexican authorities after escaping from a maximum-security jail.
With the words "Most Wanted Shirt" emblazoned across it, Barabas posted the photograph next to an image of one of its models sporting the same shirt.
On its Facebook page, the company also offered customers the chance to win "our Barabas 'El Chapo' shirts" if they liked Barabas on Facebook or Instagram.
Barabas also posted a screenshot of a video showing Guzman wearing a silk paisley shirt, which the company says is one of its "Crazy Paisley" models.
Both shirts sell for $128 (£89).
The images first appeared in the Rolling Stone article last Saturday.
In the article, Penn recounts how he interviewed the fugitive cartel leader in a remote undisclosed location in Mexico.
Penn came in for scathing criticism over the interview both in Mexico and the US, with Republican Marco Rubio calling it "grotesque".
But a Barabas representative said the shirt maker was benefitting from increased sales.
"This is the shirt! It's the sensation of the moment, the phones haven't stopped ringing and we're making lots of sales and shipping many shirts, and we're expecting more to come," Barabas's Sandra Macia told news agency Efe.
Juventino Romero told Efe he had driven for 20 hours to buy the shirts at Los Angeles-based Barabas to resell them at his clothes shop in Washington state.
"I came for the new shirt that 'El Chapo' was wearing in the interview, people are asking for it," he said.
Despite his reputation for being a ruthless cartel leader, whose men have killed thousands of people, "El Chapo" is seen by some as a folk hero.
After his jail break in July, shirts and baseball caps emblazoned with his name became popular and "El Chapo" masks became a bestseller at Halloween in Mexico.
Following his recapture on Friday, Guzman is being held at Altiplano prison in Mexico awaiting extradition to the United States on drugs charges.
Tui plans to sell its holidays under a single brand in a move that follows the merger of the UK business with its German parent. It will take up to three years to complete.
The two brands have more than five million customers, with the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands and Greece the most popular destinations.
The Thomson name dates back to 1965.
Tui has 30 million customers, as well as more than 300 hotels, 136 planes and 1,800 shops across Europe.
Its joint chief executive, Peter Long, said the firm would begin phasing out other European regional brands in the Netherlands and France first.
The UK's First Choice and Thomson, which was set up by Canadian media baron Roy Thomson, will be the last brands to go because of their size.
The move was announced along with Tui's results, which showed its half-year losses narrowed to 272.6m euros (£195.5m) from 341.4m last time.
Like other travel businesses, Tui traditionally makes a loss in the less-busy winter period.
Bookings for the summer season were picking up nicely, said the company, with long-haul destinations doing better.
Jamaica is popular this year, bookings are up 22% on last year, and Mexico is also attracting more visitors, up 37% over the same period.
A new offence of creating an "individual terrorist enterprise", designed to counter the threat of "lone wolves", would also be established.
Government officials say that two or three young Muslims leave France every day to join Islamist groups abroad.
There are fears they will eventually pose a threat to France itself.
A French citizen arrested for the killing of four people at the Brussels Jewish Museum in May, Mehdi Nemmouche, had returned from Syria, after being radicalised in prison.
Another French-born jihadist, Mohamed Merah, killed seven people in Toulouse in 2012 before being shot by police. His victims were three paratroopers as well as three children and a teacher at a Jewish school.
EU counter-terrorism coordinator Gille de Kerchove announced on Tuesday that interior ministers from nine countries had adopted an action plan to identify people travelling to Syria and stop them falling into terrorism on their return.
The countries that signed up to the plan are Belgium, France, Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands
The French bill would allow the authorities to impose six-month travel bans on people suspected of planning to make the trip to the danger zone.
Young Muslims planning to join militant groups like Isis (the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) travel on low-cost tourist flights to Turkey, then are met by contacts who take them across the Syrian border.
Under the new bill, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve would be able to impose a renewable six-month travel ban on individuals who have been identified by the intelligence services.
These people would have their passports confiscated and in theory be unable to travel - though, in fact, because of the border-free Schengen zone, they will still be able to move about inside the EU, right up to the Greek border with Turkey, the BBC's Hugh Schofield reports from Paris.
The "individual terrorist enterprise" clause is meant to counter the threat of solitary Islamists, acting outside organised structures and planning personal acts of terrorism on French soil.
Details of the EU action plan were confidential, Mr Kerchove said after interior ministers met in the Italian city of Milan. The plan is due to be discussed further in October.
Five ministers were replaced, including Defence Minister Naoki Tanaka. Satoshi Morimoto, an academic, succeeds him.
The opposition Liberal Democratic Party had wanted four ministers removed.
Mr Noda's government wants to double the consumption tax rate to at least 10% by 2015 to help cut Japan's public debt and fund rising welfare costs.
"This reshuffle is to strengthen the cabinet and ensure that the government can make progress on several different policies, including tax and welfare reform," the prime minister told a news conference.
"I cannot allow this bill to be defeated. I will do my best to make sure this bill gets passed."
Mr Morimoto, a well-known security policy expert at Takushoku University, is reportedly the first non-politician to serve as Japan's defence minister.
Apart from Mr Tanaka, the Liberal Democratic Party had also demanded the removal of the ministers of transport, justice and agriculture, who face allegations of misbehaviour.
Mr Noda also replaced the minister for financial and postal reform.
The consumption tax legislation still faces challenges in the opposition-controlled upper house and from within the ruling Democratic Party.
The cabinet approved an outline of the legislation in February but has been stuck in negotiations since.
Mr Noda is looking to present the bill to the lower house before parliament ends its session on 21 June.
The grocery store tycoon and former mayoral candidate took to Twitter to offer a bounty of $5,000 (£3,870).
He told the New York Post newspaper that thieves are stealing cartons of ice cream in order to resell them to smaller shops, known as "bodegas".
Police have received 250 complaints and made 130 arrests, the Post reports.
Mr Catsimatidis, who owns the Gristedes grocery stores, tweeted that the bandits are "wreaking havoc on NYC supermarkets" and told the newspaper that the thefts are being encouraged by the bodegas.
He shared an example of an attempted theft at one of his stores earlier this week in the Chelsea neighbourhood of Manhattan, in which the thieves were filmed on mobile phone cameras.
A man and woman shoved 80 tubs of ice cream into bags and then ran from the store.
But police say that the couple abandoned the frozen treats on the street after they were chased by store employees.
City officials have called the resale of ice cream a public health risk, since the dairy products can become contaminated with germs if left outside of the freezer.
New York City is experiencing a heatwave that is expected to last several more days. Temperatures are expected to reach 110F (43C).
Elliott manoeuvred to force out the previous management and change the way Alliance Trust is run.
Having achieved an improvement in its valuation, the Elliott team has decided to sell up.
Alliance Trust has been seeking to boost its valuation by buying back shares as they come on the market.
It is now proposing to shareholders that it should buy back all of Elliott's 20% stake.
It brings to an end a long-running saga of boardroom battles, which saw off the former chief executive Katherine Garrett-Cox and chairwoman Karin Forseke.
With Elliott's nominees on the board, Lord Smith of Kelvin was made chairman and carried out a review of the way it invests.
Alliance Trust moved its focus to investment almost entirely in equities, getting out of fixed income bonds, and moving its focus away from stocks with an environmental and social emphasis.
It recently moved its funds from its in-house team to eight outsourced fund managers.
A statement from the board said that buying out Elliott's share would let it progress "against the backdrop of a share register that is settled and supportive for the longer term".
The words of Fifa secretary-general Jerome Valcke in the fraught build-up to Brazil 2014 may have surprised some people, but they serve as a reminder that sport's relationship with democracy is an uneasy one.
Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone is another powerful sporting figure who has made no secret of his preference for totalitarianism.
More and more sports events seem to be hosted by authoritarian states, using them to gain political legitimacy and strengthen the power and profile of their rulers
The billionaire provoked outrage in 2009 when he spoke of his admiration for Adolf Hitler for "getting things done".
And yet, ever since ancient Greece, the birthplace of both democracy and the Olympics, sport and self-rule have had a close relationship.
As Professor Paul Christesen points out in his book Sport and Democracy in the Ancient and Modern Worlds, there was a correlation between the advent of mass sports participation on the playing fields of 19th Century Britain and the granting of political rights to the middle class.
Self-governed "horizontal sport", as Christesen puts it, promotes the concept of teams and clubs, levelling social relations between people and acting as a force against discrimination.
At a fundamental level, sport can help us to trust others, encouraging us to adhere to rules without the need for excessive coercion.
Free societies cannot be too controlling of course, so sport's requirement for participants to be willing to stay within the rules can have a strong democratising effect.
Sport does not necessarily equal democracy, however.
The regimented gymnastic displays seen in North Korea and Nazi Germany, where sport was very important, reflect an authoritarian political system while doing nothing to bring about reform.
The recent protests in Hong Kong are evidence that when it comes to democracy, the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing did not achieve anything like as much as many had hoped.
But sport has proven to be an incredibly powerful force for change.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC)'s exclusion of South Africa from the Olympic movement in 1970, along with cricket and rugby boycotts, helped to bring about the end of apartheid.
The 1988 Seoul Olympics are widely credited with sparking the demonstrations that resulted in the downfall of South Korean dictator Chun Doo Hwan.
However, although sport may help to shine a light on repressive regimes, it has also been exploited.
Ever since Hitler's 1936 Olympics in Berlin, dictatorships have used competitive events as a form of propaganda, diverting attention from some of their less appealing activities.
Even now, in the 21st Century, more and more sports events seem to be hosted by authoritarian states, using them to gain political legitimacy and strengthen the power and profile of their rulers.
Where once sports turned to Western democracies as the natural place to do business, they increasingly look east, to countries where money, rather than freedom, rules.
Thanks to its vast wealth, the Arab world is becoming a true sporting hub. Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in particular, are hosting more global events, sponsoring shirts and stadia, and buying up sporting assets. By doing so, they gain exposure, improve their image, and accumulate "soft power" among their trading partners and military allies in the Western world.
No matter that Amnesty International says the United Arab Emirates is a "deeply repressive state", a recent report pointing to "a climate of fear, with authorities going to extreme lengths to stamp out any sign of dissent".
This summer, Azerbaijan will host the first European Olympics, despite ranking 156th out of 179 in the Reporters Without Borders world press freedom index, "a template lesson in how to launder a country's image through sport", according to Amnesty.
Despite grave concerns over its human rights record, the country's capital, Baku, will also stage an F1 race in 2016 and host matches in the Uefa 2020 European championship finals.
Hosts of both the 2014 Sochi Winter Games and the 2018 World Cup, Russia is staging more international tournaments and competitions over the next few years than any other nation in the world, despite controversy over a crackdown on freedom of speech and expression.
Last year, Amnesty demanded the IOC take Russia's leadership to task over a "blatant violation of human rights" in the context of the 2014 Games.
"Its failure to admonish the authorities for their ongoing harassment is a failure to live up to the very principles that form the core of the Olympic Charter," Amnesty said.
After being left with a choice between cities in two repressive states - Beijing and Almaty, Kazakhstan, - as host of the 2022 Winter Olympics, the IOC has now passed a raft of reforms designed to entice more democratic countries to bid for such events.
For the first time, human rights protections will be included in host city contracts.
"For years repressive governments have brazenly broken the Olympic Charter and the promises they made to host the Olympics," said Minky Worden, director of global initiatives at Human Rights Watch.
"This reform should give teeth to the lofty Olympic language that sport can be 'a force for good'."
But as well as being accused of turning a blind eye to human rights violations, sport can even find itself responsible for them.
Fifa has been admonished for its decision to give the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, where the abuse of migrant workers building the infrastructure for the tournament continues to cause concern.
Critics also point to the violent response of the Brazilian police to anti-World Cup protesters in the run up to the tournament there last year.
F1 has been blamed for crackdowns in Bahrain whenever grands prix take place on the troubled island kingdom.
But should we really be surprised?
Play the Game, an initiative aiming to promote transparency and freedom of expression, argues there is little democracy in sport.
Its Global Sports Political Power Index of international sports organisations found only four out of 16 federations published an externally audited financial report and only two had an athletes' commission.
From Fifa president Sepp Blatter to Bernie Ecclestone, sport is no stranger to dictatorial rule.
Scandals over integrity litter the sporting landscape.
The world governing bodies of athletics, football and cycling are all currently struggling to tackle allegations of corruption and cheating.
Repressive regimes have certainly looked to exploit sport for their own political ends.
During the Cold War, Communist countries wanted to use Olympic medals as a means of proving the superiority of their ideology over capitalism.
With greater state control of the population, a more industrial approach to the production of athletes was possible, with talented youngsters hot-housed in dedicated training bases by target-driven coaches in a way seen as too intense in many Western cultures.
State-sponsored sport became a key priority for East Germany, which despite a population of fewer than 17 million people, used a highly organised sports programme - and systematic, state-sponsored doping - to became an Olympic phenomenon during the five summer Olympic Games in which it competed, second only to the USSR in 1976, 1980 and 1988.
Over the course of its nine summer Games, the Soviet Union topped the medal table six times, averaging 112 medals per Games, more than the USA, where professional, commercial major-league sports such as American football, baseball and basketball took priority.
Thanks to Soviet help in training its athletes, Communist Cuba, with a population of just 10 million people, also finished in the top 10 of the medal table in the five summer Games it competed in between 1976 and 2000 (they boycotted 1984 and 1988).
After the end of the Cold War, many Soviet coaches found employment in China, which began a remarkable nationwide push towards sporting success as a means of healing wounds left by the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and to improve its image abroad and its chances of bidding to stage the Games themselves.
Having won just five golds in 1988, China's programme paid off dramatically, winning 10 times that number in 2008, topping the medals table in its own Beijing Games, and establishing itself as the Olympic powerhouse of the 21st Century.
But what role does sport play in democracies?
We are often told here that sport and politics should not mix, that politicians should not meddle with sport, and most sports organisations actively discourage governments from encroaching on their territory.
The prime minister spoke out on the divisive argument around convicted rapist footballer Ched Evans, but was careful to avoid telling the FA what to do about it.
Many were surprised last year, when Sports Minister Helen Grant dared criticise the Premier League over rising ticket prices.
But as the tit-for-tat boycotts of the Olympic Games in the 1980s proved, sport operates in the real world.
And when it comes to the furthering of political causes, sport has often shown itself to be more powerful than elected representatives.
One need only think of Jesse Owens's four gold medals in Berlin in 1936, shattering Hitler's plan to use his Olympics to demonstrate the superiority of the Aryan "master race" or Muhammad Ali's opposition to the Vietnam War by refusing the draft.
The raised, clenched fists of John Carlos and Tommie Smith as they gave the Black Power salute on the podium during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City remains one of the enduring images of sporting history.
As does Nelson Mandela wearing the Springbok rugby jersey, that emblem of white rule, as he presented South African captain Francois Pienaar the Rugby World Cup in 1995.
For all their fame and fortune, sportsmen and women now seems less willing to be political.
Perhaps the financial fortunes at stake make them nervous about offering up opinions in case they upset anyone.
"Athletes today tend to be so focused in their own bubbles, the world passes them by," says Professor Alan Bairner, of Loughborough University.
Sport and politics simply cannot escape each other
"These days, there are few socially concerned sportspeople.
"Even during the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, there seemed to be a truce called ahead of the vote on independence.
"There was pressure not to politicise it.
"Scottish athletes were reluctant to say how they felt."
From Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler expressing his support for striking dockers to NFL stars backing the Ferguson rioters, there are exceptions.
But sport seems increasingly nervous about overt displays of political opinion.
England cricketer Moeen Ali wore "Save Gaza" and "Free Palestine" wristbands during a Test match against India in 2014.
But he was quickly banned from doing so by the International Cricket Council, on the basis that the rules "do not permit the display of messages that relate to political, religious or racial activities or causes during an international match".
Having tweeted his support for the Yes campaign on the morning of the referendum on Scottish independence, tennis player Andy Murray received a torrent of abuse via social media and quickly expressed his regret at having revealed his opinion.
Sport and politics remain uneasy bedfellows.
Politicians may like to associate themselves with successful sportspeople and events, but democracy is rarely influenced by them.
Back in 1970, the outcome of the general election itself may have been swayed by a sporting result - Edward Heath's Conservatives pulling off a surprise victory in a poll that many believe was influenced by England's shock defeat to West Germany in the 1970 World Cup a few days before.
Local Government Minister Tony Crosland famously blamed Labour's defeat on "the disgruntled Match of the Day millions".
Forty-five years on, sports issues will play a much less decisive role in the forthcoming 2015 poll.
There will be some interest in how the parties intend to make the country more active at a time of rising childhood obesity, three years on from the London Olympics.
But it is the economy, the NHS and immigration that will determine how we all vote.
However, the place of sport in society, whether democratic or otherwise, remains significant. Sport and politics simply cannot escape each other.
They remain as interlinked as the Olympic rings themselves.
Podemos was launched nearly two years ago, based on mass anti-austerity protests. It came third, with 69 seats.
Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias rebuffed the PP leader and acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, as did the Socialist (PSOE) leader Pedro Sanchez last week.
New elections might have to be held.
The PP came top with 123 seats in the 350-seat lower house of parliament - far short of a majority. In second place was the PSOE with 90, and the new liberal Ciudadanos (Citizens) party was fourth with 40.
Speaking after talks with Mr Rajoy, Mr Iglesias his priority was "social emergency" legislation to help families threatened with eviction and other socially vulnerable groups, such as poor pensioners.
He refused to support Mr Rajoy "whether actively or passively" - ruling out a coalition partnership or abstention in a confidence vote.
Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera also told Mr Rajoy he would not back him. But Ciudadanos would abstain in the confidence vote if Mr Rajoy managed to put together a coalition, he said.
The PSOE says it will only consider a leftist coalition with Podemos if the latter drops its support for an independence referendum in Catalonia.
Many Catalans want such a referendum, but Podemos is the only one of Spain's major parties to back the idea.
Mr Sanchez called on Podemos to "renounce any position that implies the rupture of co-existence between Spaniards".
Next month King Felipe VI will seek to nominate a party leader for government, but that leader must then win a vote of confidence in parliament. If there is deadlock two months after that the king will call a fresh election.
Ofcom found several scenes in the first episode, broadcast at 18:30 on 25 October last year, "were likely to frighten and disturb younger children".
ITV had argued it had warned viewers about the content and that most of the violence depicted was "fantastical".
But Ofcom disagreed, describing the violent scenes as "dark and menacing".
The media watchdog received more than 500 complaints from members of the public about the episode.
'Editorially justified'
It noted six scenes in particular which were a cause for concern - a man being attacked in a street as the programme opened, a girl trapped under a truck with Mr Hyde leaning over her, another scene featuring a monster called The Harbinger, a fight in an alley, a nightclub fight and a family attacked in their home at night.
ITV said the street attack was "stylised and non-realistic throughout" and the truck scene was "brief and limited" and "editorially justified".
The broadcaster also argued The Harbinger scene "was not unsuitable for children", the alley fight was shot in a "stylised and non-realistic manner" and the family death scene was "suitably limited". It added the nightclub fight scene was "highly unrealistic".
But while Ofcom recognised the programme as a whole did contain elements of fantasy, "the scenes of fantasy noted above depicted relatively realistic and brutal acts of violence".
It also noted five of the six scenes highlighted were broadcast between 18:30 and 19:00.
While it took on board ITV's point the audience might have had some idea of the tone and content given the well-known novel on which the series was based, "viewers may not have expected this programme to contain violent and scary scenes... and in the first 30 minutes".
It also dismissed ITV's defence it was "unlikely that many children, particularly young children... would be preparing for bed at this time".
Ofcom also stated it "did not consider the pre-broadcast warning in this case was adequate".
The watchdog acknowledged the "programme's content was not so strong that, with the appropriate scheduling, it could not be broadcast pre-watershed".
But it "would have exceeded the expectations of viewers, and in particular parents and carers, at this time and on this channel" and ruled that ITV had breached a rule stating "children must be protected by appropriate scheduling from material that is unsuitable for them".
Another programme found in breach of Ofcom rules was the BBC's The One Show, after 11 people complained about a joke made by the comedian Jimmy Carr broadcast on 4 November.
Carr said live on air: "I tried to write the shortest joke possible, so I wrote a two-word joke, which was: 'Dwarf shortage'. Just so I could pack more jokes into the show. (Looking into the camera). If you're a dwarf and you're offended by that: Grow up!"
Towards the end of the programme, just before 20:00, presenter Matt Baker said: "Listen, just a quick word to say that if anything that... Jimmy has let slip tonight that, er - was a little bit close to the mark maybe - but we're sorry, we're sorry."
The BBC said "while The One Show production team takes a particular view on the tone they would like to adhere to, and feels this joke was inappropriate in light of that, the BBC does not believe that it amounted to a breach of the code".
Ofcom rules state that: "In applying generally accepted standards broadcasters must ensure that material which may cause offence is justified by the context…
"Such material may include, but is not limited to, offensive language, violence, sex, sexual violence, humiliation, distress, violation of human dignity."
Ofcom said: "In our view, it would have been clear to the audience - and a substantial level of offence would have been likely to have been caused - by Jimmy Carr combining his initial joke (Dwarf shortage) with his follow-up statement ('If you're a dwarf and you're offended by that: Grow up!') in order to derive humour from people with the medical condition of dwarfism."
In light of the incident with Carr, the BBC said it had amended the letter guests are asked to sign prior to appearing on The One Show to include the following line: "Jokes made at the expense of minorities are likely to cause offence, so please save them for other arenas."
Meanwhile, the watchdog also decided it would not investigate viewer complaints about Channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother.
Ofcom received 418 complaints relating to comments about sexuality made by Winston McKenzie during the programme's launch show on 5 January.
In his entry video, the London Mayoral candidate said he would "cope with a homosexual in the house" by "standing against a brick wall all the time".
Ofcom said it assessed the comments but decided they did not warrant an investigation.
"We are satisfied that Channel 5 broadcast clear and appropriate warnings about the potentially offensive content," it added.
The 31-year-old finished in second place behind Italy's Nadia Fanchini, but extended her lead in the standings to 173 points ahead of Canada's Larisa Yurkiw of Canada.
With just one race left worth 100 points, Vonn secures a record eighth downhill title.
She has now surpassed Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark's 19 titles.
However, Vonn's victory was overshadowed by a fall-out with one of her main sponsors, Head.
A day earlier, Vonn posted a video of an angry outburst on Facebook in which she destroyed her bindings with a hammer following a race where one of her skis detached.
The former world and Olympic champion deleted the video and apologised for her outburst, saying it was "a huge mistake", but it has not gone down well with her ski supplier, where she has a 10-year contract.
`It's a serious thing,'' Head women's racing director Christian Greber told The Associated Press.
"For sure it will reach our [managers] and they will have a couple of discussions about several things."
Cineworld, its subsidiary Picturehouse and Curzon, which own some 135 cinemas between them, will not screen the film.
Odeon and Vue - the two other biggest chains - will be showing it.
The western, which stars Kurt Russell, Samuel L Jackson and Jennifer Jason Leigh, has had glowing reviews and been nominated for three Golden Globes.
Its distributor, Entertainment Film, said Cineworld and Curzon had decided not to show it because they objected to a deal with Odeon to have the exclusive rights for London's West End.
The Odeon Leicester Square will show the film in a "70mm Ultra Panavision presentation" - a format not used for almost 50 years.
A statement from Entertainment Film said: "Due to the special facilities required for the unique 70mm Ultra Panavision presentation we needed the largest theatre and screen possible in the West End and the Odeon Leicester Square was the natural choice.
"The technical elements and costs involved with this special presentation meant that this would need to be the exclusive West End venue."
Cineworld objected to the fact it could not be shown at one of its West End venues, according to Entertainment Film.
"Cineworld had every opportunity to book the film in their other cinemas across the country on the same basis as other exhibitors and declined to do so," the statement added.
"This is despite the fact that there is no dispute over the financial terms for this release."
Cineworld operates around 100 sites and owns Picturehouse, which runs a further 23 cinemas.
A Cineworld statement said: "We can confirm that The Hateful Eight will not be shown at our cinemas. Unfortunately we were not able to reach an agreement with the movie's distributor."
The distributor said Curzon, meanwhile, was "offered The Hateful Eight in eight out of their 13 sites including the Curzon Victoria but sadly declined due to the 70mm exclusive commitments at the Odeon Leicester Square".
On Twitter, Curzon told fans: "We love a Quentin Tarantino movie but it is with great regret that we will not be showing The Hateful Eight from Friday 8 January.
"On this occasion, the distributor has chosen to screen the film only in 70mm in the West End and in selected venues nationwide."
Hundreds of police officers wearing riot gear used pepper spray to disperse the protesters, and arrested dozens of people.
Police said Lung Wo Road had to be cleared as it was a major thoroughfare.
After the scuffles, police said officers involved in beating a protester would be reassigned.
On Wednesday footage aired on local television showed a handcuffed protester being kicked and beaten by police officers during the operation.
Secretary for Security Lai Tung-kwok said later that some officers seen on the video would be removed from their current duties and that an investigation would be carried out.
Demonstrators, a mix of students and a pro-democracy group called Occupy Central, have occupied parts of Hong Kong for more than two weeks. They are demanding fully free elections in the next vote for the territory's leader.
China, which has control over Hong Kong, says residents can vote - but it will vet which candidates are eligible to stand.
The footage shot by broadcaster TVB, showing a handcuffed demonstrator being punched and kicked by half a dozen police officers for several minutes, has been widely shared on social media.
Accusations of police using excessive force were made when authorities fired tear gas as the protests first erupted in late September. But this incident, which took place at around 03:00 on Wednesday (19:00 GMT Tuesday), was different.
The demonstrator, Ken Tsang, a social worker, had already been detained and no longer posed any threat to law enforcement.
Hong Kong's police force has for years prided itself on its professionalism, political neutrality and experience with crowd control. Now, citizens are asking, why did officers appear to behave with impunity toward a protester who had been subdued?
The clashes came on the third day of operations that police say are necessary to ease traffic disruption, but which they insist are not aimed at clearing the protesters.
Their new advance came when protesters blockaded the underpass after being cleared out of other areas of the city on Tuesday.
Local television networks broadcast live footage of scuffles, showing police arresting many protesters, whose hands were tied with plastic cuffs.
It was the worst violence seen since the beginning of the protests on 27 and 28 September.
Tsui Wai-Hung, a police spokesman, said 37 men and eight women had been arrested for "unlawful assembly".
None of those arrested had been hurt, the spokesman said. Four police officers were said to have been injured.
The protesters are now in their third week of occupying key parts of the city in a bid to put pressure on China and Hong Kong's authorities to answer their calls for reform.
Thousands of people took to the streets at the beginning of the demonstrations but the numbers have dwindled in recent days.

The £500,000 cost of the work to Inverness Museum and Art Gallery would be met from £3m of funding provided by the UK government.
The building's front and side is to be clad in aluminium.
The light sandstone-coloured anodised, perforated aluminium would feature a map of the city.
The museum, which is operated by High Life Highland, is in the city centre next to the Inverness Town House and Inverness Castle.
Scottish Secretary David Mundell confirmed the £3m of funding for Inverness during a meeting with Highland Council last year.
The local authority plans to use the rest of the money on upgrading the grounds of Inverness Castle and on creating a free public access wi-fi scheme for the city.
Australia beat England 33-13 at Twickenham in last year's World Cup.
But England regrouped under new head coach Eddie Jones and completed a Six Nations Grand Slam in March.
"Eddie's going down there to win the series 3-0 and why not? It's realistic. It's a good squad," former fly-half Lynagh told BBC Sport.
"The only thing is, it's the end of the season and a lot of the England players will be involved in Premiership and European finals.
"It's going to be a fascinating series."
England and Australia face each other in a three-Test series for the first time when they meet in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in June.
Australia's victory in October saw England exit the World Cup at the pool stage and preceded the exit of head coach Stuart Lancaster.
Australian Jones, who led Japan to a famous victory over South Africa in the same tournament, replaced Lancaster in November and won all five games as England won their first Six Nations Grand Slam since 2003.
Former Saracens playmaker Lynagh, who won 72 caps for the Wallabies and scored 911 points, believes Jones has brought a swagger back to England's performances.

"He's come in and said 'we are going to be arrogant, we have to be like that to win'," said Lynagh.
"I think Eddie looks at the culture of English rugby and there is a perception that arrogance is part of it - so he's said we'll go and do that.
"He's not trying to 'Australianise' England. It would be wrong to do that, you have to come in and work on what culturally works within the country."

Swansea have won three of their last five league games to pull 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Cork, 26, wants the Swans to build on recent results and end the season on a high.
"We've had some great results and it would be a shame if we finished the season slowly," Cork said.
"We need to carry on this momentum and try and get a few more points on the board.
"I wouldn't say we're safe because mathematically we're not.
"But we're in a good position at the minute and we've worked hard over the last few weeks."
Saturday's opponents Chelsea have also had an indifferent season in which manager Jose Mourinho was sacked in December 2015.
Guus Hiddink restored stability in his second interim spell as boss and the Blues are 10th with seven games to go.
Cork expects a tough test against Hiddink's side but says wins over Manchester United and Arsenal this season proved the big clubs hold no fear for Swansea.
"We normally do OK against the bigger teams and against Arsenal we had nothing to fear," Cork added.
"They've [Chelsea] done a lot better in the second half of the season and they seem to be getting back to how they were before.
"But we're in good form as well and it's a home game for us."
Former England Under-21 international Cork began his career as a youngster at Chelsea and has fond memories of his time at Stamford Bridge,
"It's a big game for me personally," said Cork, who joined Swansea from Southampton in January 2015.
"It's the team I grew up playing for and I had some great years there, made some great friends and learnt a lot football wise.
"I'm looking forward to seeing a few old faces." | Who do you trust to give you a straight answer on the effects of the UK leaving the European Union?

The Italian admitted visiting Ferrari, who is banned for life by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada), on 25 October.
Usada claim the doctor masterminded Lance Armstrong's doping programme
"The team doctor has suspended the rider for violation of the internal code of the team," said Lampre spokesman Andrea Appian.
"We await the decisions of the competent authorities and underline that all the issues refer to a period when Scarponi did not ride for Lampre."
Scarponi has previously served an 18-month ban after being implicated in the Operation Puerto blood doping scandal which dated back to 2006.
Frozen canals, rivers and lakes have transformed the Netherlands into one enormous ice-rink.
Sports shops have sold out of skates, bike suppliers are swapping their cycles for sledges and all over the country people are having their blades sharpened ready to take advantage of the ice generated by exceptionally cold winter.
"It's in our genes. We've been skating for centuries," explains Bert van Voorbergen, who runs an online skating museum in the town of Almere.
"Every year when frost comes, there's something indescribable released inside. As soon as there is ice, everyone is the same, everyone is equal. Maybe that's why we love it so much."
What stirred most excitement in the Netherlands was the chance that this year, for the first time since 1997, it might be cold enough to hold the ice race to end all ice races: the "Elfstedentocht" or Eleven Cities Race - the biggest competition held on natural ice in the world.
It covers 200km (124 miles) of land, features 16,000 skaters and can attract more than two million spectators.
The nation was buzzing, Dutch media covering every twist and turn in a story that filled much of the main evening news broadcasts on national TV.
A tweet from Olympic speed-skating Gold medallist Mark Tuitert summed up the sentiments of skaters across the country who say they've been struck by "Elfstedentocht fever".
Bike shop owner Martin de Vries told me he was in school when it was last held 15 years ago.
"We didn't have internet then, only radio, and everywhere you went everyone was tuned in to the race. It was crazy, everyone rushing home to try and catch it on TV. Or if you were lucky enough to get tickets, of course, you'd be up there cheering on the skaters."
But on Wednesday night came the news millions had been dreading - the organisers announced: "It's not on."
For the Elfstedentocht to go ahead, the temperatures must stay below freezing and for the past few days in Leeuwarden my thermometer's mercury has been bobbing around the -3C mark.
But it is also essential that the ice remains thick so as not to crack under the pressure of 16,000 skaters.
The Frisian Eleven Cities Association - set up to measure the ice and monitor the conditions - says it needs 15cm (6in) of ice covering the entire track before they can say those mythical words "it's on".
At the moment some parts of the route have only half the depth required.
Every year the "will-they-won't-they" speculation surrounding this legendary race starts to swirl around towns, villages and all over the media at the first signs of a frost.
The race tradition began in 1909. The last contest was won by a turnip farmer.
And this year the Netherlands recorded its lowest temperatures in 27 years.
Preparations have been underway for days.
A team of eager volunteers - assisted by a small army of soldiers based near the Friesland route - has been helping to shovel away the snow to give the ice the best possible hope of staying strong.
But in the end it seems their best efforts were in vain.
After the decision, the association's "ice master" Jan Oostenbrug urged skaters not to despair and instead get out on the ice and skate their disappointment away.
There is a small chance the race will still go ahead later in the season.
But with a thaw forecast for Sunday, hopes are fading like the frost. Many are resigning themselves to the cold hard fact that they may have to wait another year before Elfstendentocht fever strikes again.
However, skaters have been turning up in their hundreds in the village of Giethoorn, just outside Friesland, to race on a shorter course that runs for more than 25km between villages and does not have the same stringent regulations as the official Eleven Cities race.
Although the skaters are still holding out hope that the main contest can go ahead, for now they are making the most of the freezing conditions.
The film was Le Mans and the dad was Steve McQueen, and a new British documentary, which has screened at the Cannes Film Festival, tells the story of his vision of creating a pure motor racing film and the struggles he faced, not just in film terms but also in his personal life.
Released in 1970, the film continues to divide critics and fans. Some call it visionary filmmaking, the best racing movie ever made. But to others, it is a barely watchable movie with no dialogue for the first half hour.
McQueen's son Chad continues: "The thing has become such a cult classic, that we're talking about it 40-something years later and if a kid comes up to me at a race and says 'I loved Le Mans', that is exactly who my dad wanted to reach."
McQueen Snr died in 1980 at that age of 50 from a rare form of lung cancer.
In a poignant, never-before-heard clip of him talking just weeks before his death in Mexico - where he was receiving experimental treatment for the disease - he uses a racing analogy explaining that he has "just run out of gas".
The story of Le Mans begins with McQueen's long abiding love of motor racing, both as an avid fan and as a driver.
At that time, thanks to films including The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair and Bullitt, Steve McQueen was the biggest movie star in the word with the box office and sex appeal of a combination of Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
His production company, Solar, had just signed a six picture deal to make the movies he wanted to make with himself in the starring role.
The movie McQueen wanted to make was Le Mans - based on the famous 24-hour race which takes place in annually in Le Mans, France.
As a committed driver, McQueen had a vision of making a film that would show people the beauty of his world and let people into the driver's seat if only for a brief time.
After the success of a rival and, according to McQueen, lesser film, Grand Prix - which starred James Garner, it was even more important to him to make a film free from special effects or artifice.
That meant filming real cars and real professional drivers, racing at real speeds, in real time, with a budget of $6m (around $37m today).
"He was a hugely powerful man at the time," says Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans director Gabriel Clarke.
"He was in place to make the ultimate racing film and yet because of that power, he unravelled so there's a real sense of a Shakespearian tragic hero. Which is at the heart of the story."
McQueen moved his entire production company to France to begin principal photography. He had a legendary filmmaker in John Sturges - who directed him in The Great Escape - but there was no script.
On top of the daily fights with Sturges over his refusal to make any concessions to a "Hollywood" style film, he was also in conflict with his wife Neile.
McQueen's reputation for infidelity was legendary and his appetite for casual sex was undiminished in France. His wife confessed to her own affair and the couple began to drift apart.
As a 10-year-old on set, Chad McQueen was sheltered from the worst of it.
"As a father myself, you never want to expose your kids to that kind of stuff and he didn't. I'd see my parents fight every once in a while but until I was older, I never released the depth of the infidelity."
Co-director and producer John McKenna said approaching the McQueen family about such a fraught period had been a difficult task.
"We knew that it would be a tough conversation to have, to persuade Chad about this film about a difficult time in his life.
"There were going to be people who were going to say things about his father that maybe he hadn't heard before or didn't like hearing or wasn't keen on the rest of the world hearing."
Sturges eventually walked after six weeks of filming, grandly stating: "I'm too old and too rich" to put up with it. He and McQueen would never work together again.
The constant battle with his film company took its toll on McQueen and, with the production running over budget, he was forced to sign away full creative control of the film.
It resulted in a rift between McQueen and some of his closest friends and business partners.
The filmmakers had access to hours of rare footage from the film, plus archive interviews and McQueen's behind-the-scenes written correspondence.
Clarke says: "He comes across as obsessive, a perfectionist who wanted total control ...and as somebody who was prepared at this time to sacrifice a great deal for one film. You can like him or dislike him for that."
The film was eventually released towards the end of 1970 after a gruelling seven-month shoot.
McQueen didn't even bother going to the premiere and he never raced in a car again.
Changes to the film industry over the last 40 years mean there is little chance a studio would give an actor a high budget to make what is effectively an art house film with a very specific audience in mind.
That and the very real danger that he could be injured or even killed making it. Tragically, one of the British drivers involved in the film lost his foot and lower leg after a horror crash.
Now 35 years after his death, McQueen remain an icon of cinema. He was nicknamed the King of Cool in the 1960s and little has happened to change that perception of the actor.
"If I could figure out why, then I would bottle it," admits Chad McQueen. "It's cool and my daughters friends will come up to me and say they just watched Bullitt for the first time. Wow. It's cool."
Each party used their time at the weekly first minister's questions session to speak out against division and praise the emergency services.
Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland "stands in solidarity" with the "wonderful city" of London.
A debate on independence, suspended as the attack unfolded, will resume at Holyrood next Tuesday.
The debate and a vote on Ms Sturgeon's plan to ask Westminster for permission for an independence referendum was halted on Wednesday afternoon following the terror attack in London that claimed the lives of four victims and the attacker.
Parliament officials met on Thursday morning and decided that the debate and vote would be rescheduled for 14:20 on Tuesday of next week.
Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh opened the Holyrood session by noting that he had sent a letter to Commons Speaker John Bercow and London Mayor Sadiq Khan conveying "sympathy and sorrow" and "solidarity with fellow parliamentarians".
Ms Sturgeon then made a statement expressing her "shock and sadness at the heinous attack on Westminster".
She endorsed the words of Prime Minister Theresa May, noting that "we stand united in our core values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law - those values are strong, and they will endure".
She added: "We know that, at times like these, it can be all too easy to look for someone to blame. It is important therefore that we are very clear about this:
"Acts of terrorism are not the responsibility of any one faith or section of our society. The only people to blame for acts of terrorism are the individuals who plan and perpetrate them."
Eight arrests have been made in raids following the attack.
Seven of the injured are still in hospital in a critical condition, while a further 29 had received hospital treatment.
The attacker, who was British-born and previously investigated by the security services, drove a car along a pavement in Westminster, knocking down pedestrians before stabbing a policeman after the vehicle crashed.
He was then shot dead by police in the grounds of parliament.
Holyrood's other party leaders also spoke out about the attack, in lieu of their normal questions on government policy.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said the "attack on our values" had "failed", adding: "Once again we express our gratitude to the police officers and security guards who at Westminster - and here at Holyrood - work to keep us safe, whose bravery we only truly appreciate at a time like this.
"People like PC Keith Palmer, who lost his life yesterday doing his job, doing his duty.
"The lesson here is not to tar one religion or one group in the coming days - but to tackle the evil of terrorist ideology itself. Not to vilify or blame whole communities, but instead to show we all stand united against terror, and stand united in defeating it.
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale echoed this point, saying: "No matter the religion, nationality or identity of the attacker, this cannot and must not turn into a war on any one community.
"Bringing people together must be part of the solution to tackling terror, rather than creating further division within communities.
"We must send a strong message that Britain remains an open and tolerant nation that is home to people of all faiths and nationalities."
Scottish Green co-convener Patrick Harvie added his "deep concern" for all those affected by the attack, noting "respect and gratitude to all those who stepped forward, both bystanders who helped the injured and the emergency services who showed professionalism and dedication".
And Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie recounted that he would walk along the route where the attack unfolded on his way to work when he was an MP.
He said he wanted to be free to walk that route again, calling for a balanced response to the attack based on security and intelligence, but not fear.
Flags at the Scottish Parliament are flying at half mast as a mark of respect for the victims of the attack, and there has been an increased police presence in and around the parliament building.
Ms Sturgeon joined other MSPs for a minute's silence as the parliament opened on Thursday morning.
An email to MSPs, staff and Holyrood pass-holders from the Scottish Parliament chief executive's office said: "While there is no intelligence to suggest there is a specific threat to Scotland, Edinburgh or Holyrood, we have increased security with immediate effect at the Scottish Parliament as a precaution."
Parliament officials had initially refused requests to suspend Wednesday afternoon's debate after requests from politicians including Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson.
But Mr Macintosh later decided that news of the London attack was affecting the contributions of MSPs, and announced that the debate would resume at another time.
The decision was welcomed by Ms Sturgeon, but some MSPs - including Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham - were visibly angry at the decision. Ms Cunningham was later said to agree entirely with the suspension of the debate after learning the full details of the London attack.
However other MSPs, including Liberal Democrat Mike Rumbles, argued that halting the debate was effectively "giving in to terrorism".
Ms Sturgeon had been expected to win the backing of a majority of MSPs for her plan to ask the UK government for a section 30 order, which would be needed to hold a legally-binding referendum on independence.
The UK government has already said it will block the move, and will not enter into any negotiations until after the Brexit process has been completed.

Grigg, who is on standby, missed the qualifiers against Norway and Azerbaijan in March and June because of a knee injury.
The Wigan striker has made five club appearances this season although he has only started in two EFL Cup games.
Liam Boyce is rule out by a knee injury as Gareth McAuley also misses out.
Bradford City striker Shay McCartan is preferred to Grigg after winning his first cap in the friendly against New Zealand in June.
Grigg missed the closing three months of last season because of the knee injury and manager Michael O'Neill believes the player will benefit more from game time with his club than a bench role during the international break.
"When you come back after a long-term injury, I think it's important you play for your club before you start to play international football," said O'Neill.
"The club don't want him coming away and potentially getting injured while he is away with us.
"We have watched him and if we need to call him up, we will do so."
Boyce ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while in action for new club Burton in a pre-season friendly while McAuley has not played since exacerbating a thigh injury in Northern Ireland's qualifier win over Azerbaijan in June.

Expertly varying pace and length, England restricted India to 147-7, off-spinner Moeen Ali's 2-21 the standout.
Sam Billings took 20 from the second over of England's reply, with Eoin Morgan (51) and Joe Root (46 not out) completing the chase in 18.1 overs.
The second of the three T20 matches is in Nagpur on Sunday.
England will look to wrap up the series after putting in their best performance of a tour that saw them heavily beaten in the Tests and squeezed out in the one-day internationals.
The home side rested spin-bowling tormentors Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, but even their presence would have been unlikely to derail an England side that won their first T20 match in India since an agonising defeat in the final of the 2016 World T20.
It was England's bowling which was found wanting in what turned out to be the highest-scoring three-match ODI series of all time.
But in Kanpur they learned quickly after initially bowling too full, pace quartet Tymal Mills, Chris Jordan, Liam Plunkett and Ben Stokes mixing back-of-a-length with changes of pace.
Moeen also went through his repertoire, conceding only one boundary and having the incredibly dangerous Virat Kohli superbly held at mid-wicket by Morgan from his first delivery.
KL Rahul, Yuvraj Singh and Hardik Pandya fell to the short ball, the latter giving pacy left-arm T20 specialist Mills his first international wicket.
India found the boundary only three times between the 10th and 19th overs and it was left to former captain MS Dhoni, who took 12 from the final over, to add some respectability.
Still, the hosts seemed at least 20 below par on a good pitch, with England so in control that leg-spinner Adil Rashid was not called on to bowl.
Any suggestion that India would find a way back was snuffed out by Billings, opening in place of the injured Alex Hales.
Jasprit Bumrah was battered for three fours and a ramped six as England's chase began with a sprint.
A slight wobble came when Jason Roy, who himself hit two sixes, and Billings were both bowled in the same over by leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
But, with the required rate under control, Root and Morgan were afforded time to rebuild with pressure-free accumulation.
In between taking the singles on offer, Morgan lofted four sixes over the leg side before holing out to long-off from off-spinner Parvez Rasool one ball after reaching an eighth T20 half-century.
That ended a stand of 83 with Root, who was joined by Stokes and survived being bowled off a Bumrah no-ball to accelerate England home.
England captain Eoin Morgan: "Our bowlers were outstanding. Everyone in the unit executed the plans we talked about. We showed a lot of experience.
"The opening batsmen got off to a flier and that releases any pressure on the guys coming in after them. Sam Billings hasn't played much this tour but he has taken his chances when he has had an opportunity."
India captain Virat Kohli: "England played better cricket - with the ball and the bat they were precise. They were deserving winners and we need to stand up and applaud them.
"This is a format you need to enjoy and play at your intense best. We need to address the things we want to and not take too much stress from this. We need to just enjoy and not put too much pressure on the youngsters."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan on Twitter: "Not many teams give India a T20 masterclass, especially not in their own back yard. England have to find a way of getting Sam Billings in the ODI team."
The last British base, Camp Bastion, was handed over to Afghan security forces in a ceremony on Sunday.
David Cameron tweeted: "We will always remember the courage of those who served on our behalf."
But former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott has questioned whether the results "justified" the 453 UK deaths.
The union flag was lowered at the ceremony at Camp Bastion in Helmand province on Sunday morning, while Camp Leatherneck - the adjoining US base - was also handed over to Afghan control.
The UK forces were part of a US-led coalition which toppled the ruling Taliban in 2001, following the 9/11 attacks, and Bastion has been the UK's main Afghan base since 2006.
The Chief of the Defence Staff, Gen Sir Nick Houghton, said the UK's armed forces had "played a hugely significant role in delivering a security legacy for the people of Afghanistan".
The UK's most senior officer in Helmand, Brig Rob Thomson, said Sunday's ceremony marked the "final step in a deliberate, responsible and measured handover" to the Afghans.
He told the BBC: "There is regret over every single serviceman who has lost their life in this country and all those who have been wounded and we hold them in our hearts to the very end of our days.
"But what I can tell every single member of the armed forces who served here and every single family who have sent their loved ones here is that we have made a difference."
Writing in the Daily Mirror Lord Prescott, who was in the cabinet that sent British troops to Afghanistan in 2001, said he "gratefully welcomed" the return home of service personnel.
"I respect the thousands of gallant men and women who went to Afghanistan and Iraq to save lives and restore peace," he said.
"But they teach us that being the world's policeman carries a heavy price and does not justify the heavy loss of lives."
Ian Sadler, of the Military Families Support Group, said UK troops "could have come out a lot sooner".
Mr Sadler, whose son Jack was killed in Afghanistan in 2007, said Britain should not have tried to "construct a new nation" in Afghanistan.
"The Afghan national army and the Afghan national police will not be able to cope and the Taliban will come back to carry on with their drugs harvest," he warned.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told the BBC that troops were coming home with their "heads held high", having helped make Afghanistan a "much better place".
He said the country was no longer a "safe haven" for extremist group al-Qaeda and Afghans now had a "chance of a better future".
He said there was "no guarantee" Afghanistan would "be safe and stable forever" but the Afghan government now had 300,000 soldiers and police officers.
Asked if the Afghan army might collapse, as parts of the Iraqi army did in the face of Islamic State militants, Mr Fallon said Iraq's forces were "seen as sectarian" while the Afghan army had the "support of the whole population".
He said the UK was not "walking away entirely" and would continue to give help and support, including financial aid and military training.

Maj Gen Richard Nugee, one of Britain's highest ranking commanders in Afghanistan, said Afghan forces had proved they could "hold their ground" and defeat the Taliban.
Asked about Britain's 13-year military operation, he added: "Was it worth it? It's always difficult to say for those who have lost people here, but actually this country is a far better place and I believe we're safer in Britain."
Labour leader Ed Miliband said: "All those who served did so to help ensure Afghanistan could no longer be used as a safe haven for terrorists."
Jack Straw, foreign secretary from 2001-06, said the UK had been wrong to lead international efforts against Afghanistan's opium trade.
He told the Times it had been "very much a diversion", adding: "You have got to make a choice about which front you fight on."
In 2001, then prime minister Tony Blair said more than 90% of the UK's heroin came from Afghanistan's opium poppies.
He said the Taliban was "funded by the drugs trade" and it was "another part of their regime we should seek to destroy."
A US report last week suggested Afghan opium cultivation had increased significantly since 2001 and hit record levels last year, with 209,000 hectares of opium poppies grown.
Nile Ranger later deleted the picture but experts were able to retrieve it.
The former Newcastle United player, who is now at Swindon Town, denies rape and said he had consensual sex with the woman in January 2013.
The 22-year-old told Newcastle Crown Court he had never had sex with a woman against her will.
Previously, the jury heard the woman had met him in a bar after the pair had swapped a number of messages.
She said the next thing she remembered was waking up naked in a hotel room the following morning.
CCTV footage from the Carlton Hotel in Jesmond showed the woman falling out of a taxi.
The court was told that in a police interview Mr Ranger described helping her get up after she dropped her handbag in the road.
He said: "I'm a gentleman... I'm rubbing her back, making sure she's all right, holding her."
Toby Hedworth QC, defending, asked him why he took a photograph of the hotel sheets with the room key the next morning.
Mr Ranger said: "I haven't a clue, to be honest."
He had deleted it because "I knew the picture was wrong. I knew it did not look right."
Mr Hedworth listed the footballer's previous convictions, which included burglary, drinking and driving, and battery, when last year he pulled the hair of his girlfriend at the time.
His barrister asked: "Have you ever had sexual activity with a female against her wishes?"
Mr Ranger said: "Never."
The trial continues.
The Foxes are also guaranteed Champions League football following Tottenham's 3-0 win over Manchester United.
Vardy coolly slotted in the first against Sunderland, before outpacing the opposition defence and tucking home a second deep into injury time.
The hosts' best chance fell to Jack Rodwell, who blazed over.
Sunderland remain 18th in the Premier League table, four points from safety.
Relive the action from the Stadium of Light

Leicester's remarkable surge towards the title shows no signs of slowing up after a battling victory over relegation-threatened Sunderland.
Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel said there is "no pressure" on his side in the run-in and there were certainly no signs of nerves at the Stadium of Light.
England internationals Danny Drinkwater and Vardy combined for the striker's 20th league goal of the season, the first Leicester striker to reach the milestone in the top flight since Gary Lineker in the 1984-85 season.
His 21st in injury time was superb, leaving Patrick van Aanholt floundering before going round Vito Mannone to slip the ball into an open net.
Claudio Ranieri's men have now won their past five league games without conceding, picking up their 14th clean sheet of the campaign on Sunday. They have lost just three of their 33 league games so far.
The supporters stayed inside the ground well after the final whistle chanting "we're gonna win the league" and it now seems only an astonishing collapse will stop them from lifting the trophy.
Sam Allardyce's Sunderland side gave a good account of themselves against the leaders, but that is not enough at this stage of the season as they cling on to their Premier League status.
They left the Stadium of Light without any points and are 18th in the table, although they do have a game in hand on Norwich, who are four points and one place above them.
Centre-back Younes Kaboul, who should have done better with a header in the first half, made 25 clearances in the match - the most by a player in the division this season.
And German Jan Kirschoff, patrolling the space in front of the defence, kept key Leicester man Riyad Mahrez quiet, completing seven tackles and gaining possession back 18 times.
However, their problems lie at the other end of the pitch, having scored just four goals in their past six games.
The result could have been different had Rodwell buried his gilt-edged chance, while top scorer Jermain Defoe, with 12 league goals, was on the periphery for much of the game.
Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce: "I can't accept how we conceded the first goal. We allowed Jamie Vardy to play to his strengths. One ball over the top... not coping with that was the reason why we lost today.
"Our most costly games were not today. A 0-0 draw would have been good for us. The costly ones were the last three, we should have won all three. That wouldn't have seen so much pressure on ourselves and that is what told today."

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri: "The fans must continue to dream but we must continue to be concentrated and focused. Now we have two tough matches at home, the Champions League is on the table and we have to keep it. We haven't achieved anything yet.
"You make this job for the emotion you feel inside, but it is difficult for me to tell what kind of emotion."

The number of people leaving was estimated at 21,500 - down by 5.6% compared to 2014.
The number of people coming to live in Northern Ireland in 2015 was estimated at 23,600.
During Northern Ireland's economic boom years, annual net immigration peaked at almost 11,000.
The overall Northern Ireland population was estimated to be just over 1.85 million in June 2015, an increase of 11,100 on the previous year.
The figures, from the the NI Statistics and Research Agency (Nisra), also show a continuing trend towards an aging population.
The number of people aged 65 and over in Northern Ireland increased by 2.1% in 2015 to reach 291,800 people, almost 16% of the population.
Within that group, the population aged 85 and over increased by 2.9% to reach 35,500 people or 1.9% of the population.
By contrast, the number of children aged 0 to 15 increased by just 0.4% to reach 385,200 or 20.8% of the population.
There's not a precise number on it, but safe to say when the final cheque drops it'll be enough to pay for two or three of those £4m facial recognition systems that are all the rage at the moment, in the land of the bewildered.
The FAI last week announced that they have received 275,000 applications for tickets for the Euro 2016 games against Sweden, Belgium and Italy. Their total allocation for all three games is 26,000, so amid all the feel-good they have a problem to fix. A nice problem, you have to say.
Oh to have that conundrum in Scotland. Here, the post-mortems carry on. The latest contribution is the SFA's refinement of their 2020 Vision, as outlined on Thursday by Gordon Strachan and the association's performance director, Brian McClair.
As you read through the suggested tweaks to the Club Academy Scotland system and the call for the introduction of a draft system in the domestic game there is a temptation to sit back in disbelief.
Strachan, and the SFA, want to talk about the future and fair enough. But what about the present? What about the national team manager doing the job he was employed to do, a job that was eminently do-able? Namely, getting Scotland into the expanded Euro 2016. Nobody wants to talk about that.
The reason Scotland did not make the play-offs for Euro 2016 had nothing to do with academies or facilities or opportunities for young players. It had everything to do with Strachan's team getting it horrendously wrong by losing in Georgia midway through the campaign.
Had they not done so, then Scotland would have finished third with a real shot at qualification through the play-offs.
"We need to be honest in assessing where we are, where we want to be and how we get there," said Strachan on Thursday.
Quite. 'Where we are?' On the outside looking in. 'Where we want to be?' On the inside looking out. 'How we get there?' By beating the likes of Georgia.
Ever since Scotland failed to make the play-offs there has been a strange moving of the goalposts at the SFA. Would qualification have been the panacea for all ills in the game here? Of course not, but it would have been feel-good for fans and brought cash to develop and grow the game.
In the analysis of what went wrong in the qualification campaign, there has been too much big picture stuff and not enough close focus. Strachan is brilliantly qualified to talk about what needs to happen in youth football in this country, but there was still an element of the surreal about his vision last week.
Strachan has chipped in with a draft system idea that would see young fringe players in the Premiership being loaned out to clubs in the Championship to get more first-team football.
It's hardly Scottish football's Eureka! moment. More than 30 young home-grown players from Premiership clubs are already on loan in the lower leagues. Most of them are teenagers.
The Scotland coach wants each Premiership club to put five players into the draft. This would suggest that these clubs lose control - or total control - of where their young players end up. It's wholly wrong.
If, say, Aberdeen, want to loan a player to Falkirk because they like Peter Houston's coaching but are told no, they have to loan the player to another club, where is the fairness in that? It's illogical and unworkable. It's just noise.
It also feeds into the narrative that young Scottish talent is being held back, that impressive youngsters in this country are not getting the game-time they need and, as a consequence, are wasting away.
This is questionable, to say the least. Contrary to being obstructed, it's arguable that this is the greatest time to be a young footballer in Scotland. There is no money, fewer imports and more opportunity. The game is full of young kids. Whether they're good enough is a different point, but in big numbers they're getting their chance to show what they've got.
In the last round of matches in the Premiership the number of Scottish teenagers who saw action was in double figures and the number of under-21s involved was close to 30. Kilmarnock had three home-grown teens in their starting line-up while Partick Thistle, Hearts, Motherwell, Dundee United, Ross County and Inverness also gave game-time to a teenager (or teenagers).
Celtic would have done the same on Thursday but Kieran Tierney was given a night off in their pummelling of Hamilton. Tierney is only 18 and is now considered Ronny Deila's first-choice left-back.
It's a snapshot, sure, and these numbers might vary - but not wildly - depending on what weekend you want to look at. A study of the corresponding round of games 15 years ago - January 2001 when Claudio Caniggia was in his expensive pomp at Dundee and Rangers had Tore-Andre Flo in their attack - shows that Scotland's top division fielded 16 Scottish players with an age of 21 or under.
That number compares poorly to the one from last week. The landscape has changed dramatically.
Dip into last week's Championship fixtures and this notion that young players don't get a fair shot is undermined even further. There were almost 40 under-21s playing in those games. And many of them have already played buckets of first-team matches.
Falkir's Craig Sibbald, 20, has played 176 senior games. His team-mate, Conor McGrandles, also 20, has played 83. Hibs' John McGinn, 21, has played 121 times, most of them at his previous club, St Mirren. Barrie McKay, of Rangers, is 21 and has played 114 games.
Liam Henderson (Hibs) and Mark Russell (Morton) are both 19 and have more than 50 senior appearances already. Many others of the same age have 30 and 40 matches under their belts already. These guys are young but they've already been around for several seasons.
Strachan says that these Scottish boys lack the opportunity. Largely, they don't. If they don't make it at the big clubs they get loaned out to smaller clubs and they play and play and play.
What's lacking is not young players - the leagues are awash with them - but good young players with good skills and technique and mental strength. And the bigger problem is in coaching. Scottish football has all the young players it needs, but not all the progressive coaches.
These failings wouldn't have gone away had Scotland reached Euro 2016, but there would've been a break from the endless reviews and overviews and strategies and blueprints.
Because of a giant failure in qualification, there's more talk about plotting for some distant point in the future. The next World Cup campaign or the Euro qualifiers after that, or the following World Cup, or the new Euros. Always reaching and never achieving.
It's as the American singer-songwriter, John Legend, put it: "The future started yesterday, and we're already late."
Those who bring it into disrepute face a $200 (£154) fine and/or six months in jail, the justice ministry said.
Nobody is allowed to sell the flag without prior permission from the ministry, its statement added.
The flag is being used as a symbol of the calls for change by protesters under the #ThisFlag movement.
It was started in April by a pastor who wrapped a flag around his neck and in a video posted on Facebook calling for Zimbabweans who were fed up with the perceived mismanagement of the country to stand up for themselves.
Evan Mawarire's social-media movement backed a stay-away campaign in July, the biggest strike action since 2005.
He was accused of attempting to overthrow the government but a court dismissed the charges.
At his court appearance he was draped in the flag, as were many of his supporters.
He since fled the country and is currently in New York where he posted a video on Facebook on Tuesday, again wearing the flag around his neck, protesting outside the UN headquarters. President Robert Mugabe is in New York to attend the UN General Assembly.
Over the last month there have been several anti-government protests with people wrapping themselves in the Zimbabwe flag - and the police have now banned marches in the capital, Harare, until mid-October.
"Members of the public who engage in any action or activity, which involves the manufacture, sale or use of the national flag in contravention of the law are therefore warned that they are liable to prosecution and are liable to imprisonment if they are found guilty by a court of law," Justice Ministry official Virginia Mabiza said in a statement.
Promise Mkwananzi, the leader of young activists who protest under the banner Tajamuka, meaning "we strongly disagree", dismissed the warning.
"It is total insanity that government should ban citizens from using their own flag. We are going to continue to make use of our flag. It is our identity," he told the Reuters news agency.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) found staff at Deneside Court in Jarrow were not adequately skilled and medicines were not administered properly.
The commission said its management of "challenging" patient behaviour "was not safe".
The home has been approached for comment.
The 40-bed facility, which cares for adults with learning, physical and neurological disabilities, had "not sufficiently improved to protect people", the CQC said.
Head of adult social care in the region, Ros Sanderson, said staff were not always properly trained to meet the specific needs of residents with diabetes and learning and mental health difficulties.
Some staff reported not feeling safe and inspectors found staff and residents "were not protected from potential harm".
"Some of the care staff told us they were frightened by the behaviour of some of the people who used the service and this led to them not attempting to de-escalate behaviour and thus leaving situations to deteriorate to the point the police needed to be called," the report said.
The home relied on temporary agency staff but failed to check they had the required skills, it said.
Risk assessments were not made and reviewed correctly and necessary improvements not always acted upon.
"This is not good enough," Ms Sanderson said.
Inspectors were "so concerned with the medicines management" at the home they returned to look specifically into the pharmacy.
They found some emergency medicines not available and others being given past their use by date.
The CQC decision can be challenged.
Graham Carroll, 26, will take part in the world's richest sim race - the Visa Vegas eRace in the North American city.
The 28-lap race starts at 00:00 on Sunday (British time) and has $1m (£812,000) worth of prize money over several categories.
His rivals include 20 pro drivers from the FIA Formula E Championship.
Mr Carroll abandoned real-life racing when, after his second Formula Ford title win in 2008, he ran out of funds.
The event is timed to coincide with the last day of the CES tech expo in the city.
Mr Carroll, told BBC Radio Scotland's Kaye Adams Programme it was nerve-racking when so much prize money was at stake.
He said: "These days the simulator is pretty much as real as you are going to get. The simulators I've been using over the last few years can get you ready for driving a real car because they are so like real life.
"When I first started off at this competition to get my ticket to Vegas there was a four round qualifier and I won the first round of the series and the week leading up to that I was on it six hours a day, I was treating it like a job because if you qualify and go to Vegas you win a minimum of $20,000 (£16,000).
"So to get that ticket out there meant a lot to me and its going to be good to be one of the 10 that make it there."
He added: "It's going to be pretty nervy, if you think about it you can make $25,000 if you make it to pole position too, that's going to be nerve-racking."

Correction 10 November 2012: The BBC has apologised unreservedly for broadcasting a report on Newsnight on 2 November over allegations of child abuse which transpired to have involved a case of mistaken identity. As a result the video of the original report has been removed from the website. More details can be found here.
Steve Messham was one of hundreds of children abused in the 1970s and 80s - exploitation brought to light by the Waterhouse Inquiry Report in 2000.
But he told BBC Newsnight the inquiry uncovered just a fraction of the abuse.
He and another victim also told the BBC a leading Thatcher-era Conservative politician took part in the abuse.
Since the Jimmy Savile sex abuse allegations surfaced, politicians have been raising questions about other historic cases.
During the 1970s and 1980s almost 40 children's homes in north Wales were the scene of horrific child abuse in which youngsters were raped and abused by the very people who were paid to look after them.
In the early 1990s, allegations of the abuse started to surface and in March 1994 Clwyd County Council commissioned an independent inquiry into claims of widespread abuse across north Wales, centred around the Bryn Estyn care home.
Professor Jane Tunstill, who was on that inquiry panel, told the BBC in 2000 that along with a "litany of abusive practices going on in the home on the part of the care staff" there were rumours that people outside the care system were also involved in the abuse.
However, the inquiry's report was never published and the copies were pulped to ensure that the local authority was able to maintain its insurance cover.
In the wake of this, and amid growing public pressure, in 1996 the-then Secretary of State for Wales, William Hague, ordered an inquiry into allegations of hundreds of cases of child abuse in care homes in former county council areas of Clwyd and Gwynedd between 1974 and 1990.
The tribunal, led by Sir Ronald Waterhouse, heard evidence from more than 650 people who had been in care from 1974 and took almost three years to publish its report.
Counsel for the inquiry mentioned the existence of a shadowy figure of high public standing, but said that there was no substantial evidence to support the allegations.
An investigation by BBC reporter Angus Stickler at the time of the report's publication revealed allegations of a much wider circle of abuse than that uncovered by the inquiry.
He uncovered allegations of widespread physical and sexual abuse of children not just by care system staff, but that children were being lent to paedophiles from all walks of life including businessmen, police, and a senior public figure in a paedophile ring stretching beyond the borders of north Wales, to Chester, London, Brighton and beyond.
One of the victims that Angus Stickler spoke to in 2000 was Mr Messham, who described some of the abuse he suffered. Now, reporting for BBC Newsnight and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, he has re-interviewed Mr Messham.
"In the home it was the standard abuse which was violent and sexual. Outside it was like you were sold, we were taken to the Crest Hotel in Wrexham, mainly on Sunday nights, where they would rent rooms," Mr Messham recalled in this latest interview.
"One particular night that I always recall is when I was basically raped, tied down, and abused by nine different men."
He also stood by his claims then that his abusers included a leading Tory politician of the Thatcher era.
"You were taken by car, where basically you were sexually abused. Various things would happen, drink would be involved, it was basically rape. But it wasn't just him, there be other people involved as well," he said.
When asked how many times he was abused by the politician Mr Messham said:
"Off my head I couldn't give an exact number as it goes back many years but certainly more than a dozen."
In his new interview, Mr Messham also said that he had gone to the police in the late 1970s to report the abuse, but that he was not believed:
"I was called a liar. I was pinned up against a wall. I could still name to this day the police officer who had done it," he said.
"The police denied it and when they looked back, they finally admitted in the inquiry [that] statements were made. That's all they would say. They wouldn't say who was named in them. But they did admit I did make a statement of sexual abuse."
Mr Messham also insisted that his statements to the police included allegations of sexual abuse against the politician.
In his original investigation Angus Stickler also spoke to another victim who claimed to have been abused by the politician, as well as others.
Newsnight/the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has been unable to track him down for this latest report. However, in 2000 he described how as a teenager he was abused by the politician:
"We went out for something to eat and he pulled over in a layby and then, hey presto, oral sex took place," the man - who wanted to remain anonymous - said.
He told Angus Stickler that at the time, in the early 1990s, he went to North Wales Police to report the abuse, showing them faxed photographs of the senior Tory politician.
However, he said that the two police officers he showed the photograph to dismissed his claims, saying that since the pictures were faxed they were not sufficiently reliable evidence and no further action was taken.
The Waterhouse inquiry, which cost £12m to stage, promised to leave no stone unturned in its endeavour to uncover abuse.
However, there have been complaints that the terms of reference were too narrow, restricting investigations to abuse taking place within the care system, not beyond it.
"I don't understand why on Earth we had an inquiry when we had to leave out 30% of the abusers," Mr Messham said in his latest interview.
"And basically I was told to do that. I was told I couldn't go into detail about these people, I couldn't name them and they wouldn't question me on them."
Mr Messham says he wants a new investigation into what happened:
"I would like a meeting now with David Cameron. He's made a statement, a sweeping statement that abused people need to be believed, we haven't been believed, we've been swept under the carpet.
"It's time he knew the truth. It's time a full investigation took place and until I can meet with him and get some reassurance I don't believe we will get anywhere."
Richard Scorer, a solicitor with Pannone and Partners, who represented 30 victims at the Waterhouse inquiry, believes the original remit of the inquiry and attitudes at the time were at the heart of the problem:
"The terms of reference were an important restriction. It's also fair to say at that time, and we're going back to the mid to late 1990s here, at that time the idea that senior public figures; politicians; celebrities could be involved in child abuse was seen as a bit far-fetched," he told Newsnight/the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
"We now know of course from recent revelations that it isn't far-fetched at all - and that's part of the reason why it's important that these allegations are looked at again," he added.
Anyone with information into these allegations - or who needs support on the issues raised in this article - can call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 or email [email protected], or call their local police station by dialling 101.
The inherited condition leaves her joints weak and susceptible to dislocation.
It means she has to rely on a wheelchair a lot of the time. But when she was given the diagnosis she quickly realised the NHS was not going to be there for her.
She was offered a standard NHS-issue wheelchair - but at 20kg (3st 2lb) it would have been too heavy for her and potentially dangerous, given her condition.
She began to think her dreams of becoming a medic were over.
"I didn't even think I would get through medical school," she says.
A friend suggested she try to raise the money herself.
The NHS offered her £140 towards the costs, but modern lightweight wheelchairs can set you back thousands of pounds.
Ms Barham-Brown, 29, who is working across different hospitals in south London as part of her first year of being a junior doctor, took to crowdfunding and within 24 hours had raised enough to buy a fairly basic one for just over £2,000.
"Without it I wouldn't have been able to work as a doctor," she says.
"The standard one is just too heavy and has a wide turning circle.
"It just would not have been possible to get around the wards.
"Now, I'm the quickest doctor in the hospital - they're always sending me to get the bloods."
The wheelchair also allows her to play sport - she races and plays wheelchair basketball.
"It is so short-sighted not to fund wheelchairs that people need," she says.
"It keeps them active and working. Without them people become isolated, but unfortunately the cuts in the health service mean that is not possible."
Ms Barham-Brown is not the only person to have faced such difficulties.
She says she is increasingly hearing of people resorting to such tactics to get the equipment they need.
"More and more I'm seeing pleas on social media from people begging for support to buy wheelchairs, not only chairs like this - lightweight self-propelling chairs - but electric chairs," she says.
"The guidelines for getting chairs now are so strict, wheelchair services across the country are being privatised and it's just getting harder and harder to get access."
The derelict Westmoreland House on Stokes Croft will be demolished and the adjoining Carriageworks renovated for business units and 118 new homes.
Bristol City Council deferred making a decision on the proposal in April after protests against the lack of social housing in the design.
The scheme was approved after changes to the original plans were made.
These included the removal of gates and increasing the number of affordable properties in the development.
Lori Streich, from the Carriageworks Action Group, described the planning approval as "incredibly good news", and said it is "a very significant step to achieving an end to the dereliction of that site".
Comer Homes currently owns the buildings, but is to sell to Fifth Capital now planning approval has been granted.
The two buildings have been vacant for more than 25 years and Bristol City Council hopes the scheme will help regenerate Stokes Croft.
The area is regarded as the "spiritual home" of the street artist Banksy as his famed mural The Mild Mild West resides near Jamaica Street Junction.
The Junior Switch nightclub, which opened in September last year, hosts events for 13 to 17-year-olds.
For the first time at an event held by the club on Friday night, young people were breathalysed at the door.
A spokesperson said they had been forced to introduce the measure due to the condition of some young people on arrival.
The Monaghan-based nightclub has held a total of seven events since opening.
During its seventh event, held on Friday 12, young people were breathalysed before entering the venue.
This is the first time that the venue has imposed such a measure.
A spokesperson from the Junior Switch nightclub said that it was now a condition of entry for young people attending future events.
"We have a duty of care to the young people who attend our events and we are taking a zero tolerance approach when it comes to the consumption of alcohol."
It is understood that the club enforced the measure after a previous incident in which a bus brought young people to the venue who were unconscious due to alcohol consumption.
Young people gain access to events by purchasing tickets, however since the nightclubs spokesperson said that refunds had been issued prior to Friday night's event.
"We sold tickets and made it clear that those attending the event would be breathalysed. We then issued refunds to those who no longer wanted to attend," the spokesperson said.
"We lost about 40% of our usual turn out, but we don't care about the money. We want to ensure that the young people remain safe.
"Parents are thanking us because they don't want their kids in a situation where other kids are drinking and there may be peer-pressure for them to do the same."
Young people who were tested positive for alcohol consumption were looked after by paramedics from the Red Cross who then contacted their parents.
The spokesperson said that these young people have been told not to return to the venue for future events.
The infection has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains.
Some areas have declared a state of emergency, doctors have described it as "a pandemic in progress" and some are even advising women in affected countries to delay getting pregnant.
But there is much we do not know.
Deaths are rare and only one-in-five people infected is thought to develop symptoms.
These include:
A rare nervous system disorder, Guillain-Barré syndrome, that can cause temporary paralysis has been linked to the infection.
There is no vaccine or drug treatment so patients are advised to rest and drink plenty of fluids.
But the biggest concern is the impact it could have on babies developing in the womb and the surge in microcephaly.
It is when a baby is born with an abnormally small head, as their brain has not developed properly.
The severity varies, but it can be deadly if the brain is so underdeveloped that it cannot regulate the functions vital to life.
Children that do survive face intellectual disability and development delays.
It can be caused by infections such as rubella, substance abuse during pregnancy or genetic abnormalities.
Case study: 'It's not the end of the world'
The WHO says there is "scientific consensus" that Zika causes microcephaly as well as Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Some babies who died had the virus in their brain and it has been detected in placenta and amniotic fluid too.
Some governments have advised women to delay getting pregnant until more is known.
Experts now believe Zika is linked to a broader set of complications in pregnancy, including miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth and eye problems.
The US Centres for Disease Control says Zika lingers in the blood for about a week and can be spread by sexual intercourse.
"The virus will not cause infections in a baby that is conceived after the virus is cleared from the blood," it says.
"There is currently no evidence that Zika-virus infection poses a risk of birth defects in future pregnancies."
The WHO advises couples practice safer sex or abstain for at least eight weeks if they are returning from Zika-affected areas. If the man in the couple planning a pregnancy develops Zika symptoms, then this period of abstinence or safe sex should be extended to six months.
The WHO is worried that Zika is spreading far and fast, with devastating consequences.
Declaring Zika as a "public health emergency of international concern" singles the disease out as a serious global threat. It puts it in the same category of importance as Ebola.
Unlike Ebola, where the focus was on boots on the ground, with Zika the attention will be on understanding the link with microcephaly.
The WHO will co-ordinate countries' health agencies to conduct trials to determine the risk.
It will also encourage efforts to stop the mosquito that spreads the disease as well as finding a treatment or a vaccine to stop the virus.
The work will depend on money donated by countries.
It was first identified in monkeys in Uganda in 1947.
The first human case was detected in Nigeria in 1954 and there have been further outbreaks in Africa, South East Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Most were small and Zika has not previously been considered a major threat to human health.
But in May 2015 it was reported in Brazil and has since spread rapidly.
"Its current explosive pandemic re-emergence is, therefore, truly remarkable," the US National Institutes of Health said.
It is spread by Aedes mosquitoes. They are the same insects that spread dengue and chikungunya virus.
They are found throughout the Americas except for Canada and Chile where it is too cold for them to survive, and across Asia.
And, unlike the mosquitoes that spread malaria, they are mostly active during the day, so bed nets offer limited protection.
If they drink the blood of an infected person they can then infect subsequent people they bite.
The WHO says sexual transmission is also possible.
The best evidence so far suggests that people can spread the virus via mosquitoes for a week after being infected.
In semen it may persist for two weeks.
Countries have advised safe sex and a ban on blood donations for a month after just visiting such countries and for longer if they developed symptoms.
As there is no treatment, the only option is to reduce the risk of being bitten.
Health officials advise people to:
The mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so people are also being told to empty buckets and flower pots.
The US Centers for Disease Control has advised pregnant women not to travel to affected areas.
Brazilian Health Minister Marcelo Castro has said a new testing kit is being developed to identify infections quickly.
He also said more money was being put into the development of a vaccine.
Some scientists are also trialling the use of genetically modified sterile mosquitoes that appear to reduce mosquito populations by 90%.
Meanwhile, efforts are under way to kill the mosquitoes with insecticide.
US experts from the National Institutes of Health say trials of a Zika vaccine will likely start in September this year. Depending on the results, larger trials could begin at the start of 2017.
"The very, very best scenario" would be a vaccine ready for the general public by the beginning of 2018, they say. | Lampre have suspended 2011 Giro d'Italia winner Michele Scarponi for visiting banned doctor Michele Ferrari.

Dan Thompson, 56, who owns Tomson Motor in Giles Street, had to say sorry after receiving a visit from the police.
The mechanic had lain on the road while his colleague stood over him with a pick axe handle after spotting the Google camera car from a distance.
However, a web user saw the image and made a complaint.
The incident happened in August 2012 but it was not until a year later, once the pictures had been uploaded onto the Google site, that police were alerted.
Mr Thompson told the BBC Scotland news website: "By complete fluke I saw the Google car coming along the road but it had to loop the block so I had one minute to rush back inside the garage and set up the murder scene.
"There are pictures of men on Google flashing their bums but we thought we would be more classy.

A video shot by Facebook user Johnny Lester in the Weston Favell store shows people forming a scrum as they cram their baskets full of bargain produce.
A woman is overheard calling the shoppers "disgusting". Mr Lester blamed the store for how the food was put out.
A Tesco spokesman said the "safety of our customers and colleagues is of paramount importance to us".
The video, which has been viewed by almost 1.5m people, starts with a number of Tesco customers surrounding a reduced counter at the store.
Someone is clearly heard telling them: "Sit, sit."
Staff have to fight their way out as customers dive in to grab the goods. Customers are seen piling baskets high with meat produce.
Mr Lester, who took the video on Monday, said he was "shocked and in disbelief".
"I had heard about it, but never seen it happen like that before," he said.
"Tesco were at fault. If you throw a load of trays on the floor like that with people waiting, what is going to happen?"
Former Northampton North MP and Green Party politician Tony Clarke said Tesco were "crass and irresponsible" for putting the food out in the manner they did.
He said: "They put their staff at risk and allowed their customers to wrestle on the floor in the hunt for a bargain."
A woman in the background of the video can be clearly heard saying: "I am sending this to your head office because they are disgusting."
The Tesco spokesman said an investigation had been held and the store manager "will take steps to prevent a similar situation happening again".

Ulster lost 30-18 to their Irish interprovincial rivals to end hopes of a first trophy success since 2006.
"I'm not sure if I'll be back as captain. We'll have to reassess. I'll speak to Les (Kiss) at the end of the season and make a decision," said Best.
Director of Rugby Kiss said he "didn't envisage any change" in the captaincy.
"I will have a good discussion with Rory about the captaincy during the off-season but he'll always be a leader among the boys anyhow," commented Kiss.
"He is always happy for the younger boys to step into leadership roles and is good at bringing the likes of Rob Herring and Paddy Jackson along.
"It may be something we look at, but we'll make those decisions later," added the Australian after the play-off loss in Dublin.
An emotional Best could not his disappointment after seeing his side fall short of securing silverware for a 10th consecutive season.

"Every year we think we have improved enough to answer the questions asked of us at this stage but yet again we have fallen short.
"It doesn't get any easier to take as this year we really thought we were in a good place to go on and do it. We felt the belief of recent weeks would drive us through but it wasn't to be.
"It's very disappointing as we felt we had a big game in us, but we'll be back again.
"It's just not the way we wanted to sign off the season and not the way I wanted to sign off personally."
The Ulster skipper added that he felt the forwards fell short of the standards they hoped to set in a hard-fought derby contest.
"We have a lot of talent in our back-line but if you can't front up and man up around the edge of the ruck and around the set-piece and you lose those little mini-battles there, it doesn't matter what you've got out wide.
"To be fair to that young back-line, they fought and scrapped with everything they had, but as forwards we probably have to take a bit of responsibility."
Mr Cunha is widely regarded as the architect of the impeachment process of President Dilma Rousseff.
He has been accused of lying about undeclared Swiss bank accounts but strongly denies any wrongdoing.
If the full lower house approve the move, he faces losing his partial immunity from prosecution.
He could then be arrested and prosecuted on corruption charges.
The vote in the congressional ethics committee was tight, with members approving the motion 11-9 in favour.
"We are facing the biggest scandal this body has ever ruled on," said ethics council rapporteur Marcos Rogerio, who wrote the report recommending that Mr Cunha be stripped of his seat.
Mr Cunha has insisted he is innocent and vowed to appeal against the decision to another congressional committee.
Swiss authorities say Mr Cunha had secret accounts worth about $5m (£3.2m) which Brazilian prosecutors allege are linked to a corruption scheme at the state oil company, Petrobras.
News of the ethics committee vote, which brings Mr Cunha one step closer to permanent suspension, has quickly been replaced as top headline by other stories.
This perhaps reflects doubt over whether Mr Cunha's suspension will go ahead, taking into account his considerable political influence.
Centre-right daily Correio Braziliense features a headline citing Mr Cunha's reaction to the vote: "I am completely confident that the ruling will not be carried forward."
Left-leaning news portal Carta Capital also views the news with some scepticism, and notes that it took eight months of "manoeuvres, postponements and waivers" for the ethics committee to cast their vote.
Igor Gielow, a journalist at leading daily Folha de Sao Paulo, also highlights Mr Cunha's continued influence in an article entitled "Politically dead, Cunha is still radioactive". However Mr Gielow says that a "miracle" is needed to go against public opinion and restore Mr Cunha to his post.

Mr Cunha, a committed evangelical Christian who often quotes the Bible in his social media messages, has said that the accounts in Switzerland were trust funds that he did not control.
He was suspended last month, accused of trying to obstruct the corruption investigation against him and intimidating lawmakers.
Ms Rousseff and her supporters say it was her government's decision not to give in to Mr Cunha's demands, specifically over the ethics committee investigation, that triggered his subsequent move to begin impeachment proceedings.
Petrobras is at the centre of a massive kickbacks scandal which has led to the arrest of dozens of Brazilian lawmakers and top businessmen.
Think Lyndon Johnson and Vietnam; Richard Nixon and the opening to China; George Bushes Senior and Junior and their Iraq wars.
This election offers voters a real choice. Despite Donald Trump's sometimes incoherent and seemingly improvisational approach to foreign policy, the two candidates do offer quite different visions. Hillary Clinton firmly believes the US role is to uphold a global security order from which it also benefits, the Pax Americana at the core of traditional US military and diplomatic thinking.
Donald Trump's America First approach is more transactional. He frames alliances in business terms, vowing to get better value from them or pull back from historic commitments he says the US can no longer afford.
This is how their differences might play out in key international issues.
In no other area has Donald Trump departed more radically from decades of US foreign policy than his approach to traditional relationships. He has castigated Nato as outdated and obsolete and characterised its members as ungrateful allies who benefit from US largesse.
He says America can no longer afford to protect countries in Europe - and in Asia - without adequate compensation, suggesting he would withdraw American forces unless they pay up.
He's also said Nato members like the Baltic states couldn't count on the US to come to their military aid if attacked by Russia, unless they'd fulfilled their obligations.
Mr Trump is voicing longstanding criticisms. President Obama has also expressed frustration that most Nato members don't meet their goal of spending at least 2% of GDP on defence.
But Mr Obama stands firmly by the military alliance. As does Mrs Clinton, who proclaims Nato one of the best investments America has ever made.
She's said Mr Trump has made himself unfit for office by stepping away from Nato's "ironclad" mutual defence commitments, and some in his own party have warned his approach could embolden Russia.
As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the architect of the "reset" aimed at greater co-operation with Russia, but she left office urging a harder line against President Vladimir Putin. That distrust carries over into her policy proposals to "stand up to Putin" and increase the costs of his actions.
While she acknowledges the US needs to work with Moscow where it can, she vows to partner with allies to limit its "aggression" in places like Ukraine and Syria.
She advocates strengthening Nato and improving the energy security of European states, and is willing to consider new sanctions.
In a reversal of traditional party roles, it's the Republican Trump who has taken a more conciliatory tone to Moscow. But he's gone further than any other presidential candidate ever, amidst charges that Russia is trying to disrupt the election by hacking Democratic Party emails.
That's prompted allegations that his campaign has ties to the Kremlin. The real estate mogul has a history of business dealings with Russia and a number of advisers with Russian connections. The FBI, however, hasn't found any direct links.
Mr Trump says said he believes he can ease tensions with Mr Putin, and has praised him as a strong leader with whom he would love to have a good relationship.
He's said little about what this might involve beyond a desire for a joint fight against the Islamic State militants. But he intends to find out if the Russians would be "reasonable", confident that he could better command Mr Putin's respect than Mrs Clinton or President Obama.
Both candidates see so-called Islamic State as a global threat that must be defeated.
Hillary Clinton mostly adopts what President Obama is doing. Donald Trump talks tougher, vowing to "bomb the shit"out of IS and "take back the oil" from the group.
He's also criticised the current administration for failing to use the element of surprise in attacks, especially in the campaign against the IS-held city of Mosul.
The rhetoric is different, but many of the candidates' policy proposals sound similar.
Both talk about fighting IS with a coalition of Western and Arab states in ways the US is already doing, although they would intensify the campaign. Neither would send American combat troops to fight the group in Iraq and Syria. Donald Trump flirted with the idea at one point but seems to have dropped it.
However, he is much more willing to work with Russia in the fight against IS than Mrs Clinton, and supports harsh interrogation techniques of captured fighters, which she does not.
The candidates might also differ on what happens the day after in Mosul is captured. Mrs Clinton seems more likely to invest in fixing sectarian politics that could lead to new conflict.
Broadly speaking, Hillary Clinton is open to involvement in the civil war and Donald Trump is not.
He does support a safe zone to stop the flood of refugees but says wealthy Arab countries should set it up.
In line with US policy, defeating so-called Islamic State is a higher priority for Mr Trump than persuading Bashar al-Assad to step down.
But he argues that the Syrian president is fighting IS, which Mrs Clinton disputes. He's also suggested he wouldn't back the rebels and that overthrowing Mr Assad could lead to something worse.
President Obama has similar misgivings, but covertly he does supply some rebels with some weapons and overtly he takes their side in peace talks. He also believes the Assad regime is the most destructive force in Syria and has to be replaced in order to change the environment that breeds Islamist violence. He has tried to achieve that through diplomacy but Mrs Clinton is prepared to go further.
She supports a No Fly Zone - a move that could lead to confronting Syrian and Russian warplanes. The idea would be to protect civilians and control some Syrian territory to use as leverage in a future settlement.
She might also be open to supplying heavier weapons to rebel groups. But the bottom line is that Moscow's military involvement in Syria has severely limited options. No one wants to go to war with Russia.
The Iran nuclear deal has reduced the immediate threat of a military confrontation with the US, but the new president may struggle to see it implemented.
Hillary Clinton supports the agreement. Indeed, she laid much of the groundwork for it while she was secretary of state. But she takes a tougher tone than President Obama.
She calls her approach "distrust and verify", promising to penalise Iran for any violations. She's also laid out a broader strategy to confront its "bad behaviour" in the region.
This includes maintaining Israel's military superiority, bolstering security cooperation with Arab allies in the Gulf, and building a coalition to counter Iran's proxies. And she's signalled that she'd take a more forthright stand against human rights violations than the Obama administration.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, hates the agreement and opposes all aspects of it - he's called it 'one of the worst deals ever made by any country in history,' and maintains that Iran got the better of Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton.
He contends he could renegotiate it, although hasn't convincingly spelled out how he'd be able to do that. His pledge to counter Iran's push to "destabilise and dominate" the region doesn't sound so different from Mrs Clinton's, although it lacks the detail.
Both are prepared to use force if Iran tries to obtain a nuclear weapon.
There has been debate within the Democratic party about America's unconditional support for Israel, but that is not reflected in Hillary Clinton's platform.
She promises to guarantee Israel's qualitative military edge in the region, oppose the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, and cut off all efforts to unilaterally recognise Palestinian statehood or achieve it outside of direct negotiations with Israel.
Donald Trump initially pledged to be neutral in any peace talks. But he's since doubled down on promising an unbreakable alliance with Israel and taken a harder line on the Palestinians. He's said he supports a two-state solution but it would only be possible when the Palestinians overcome their "ingrained hatred" of Israel and stop "teaching their children to be terrorists".
His advisers, though, have questioned the viability of a two-state solution, a cornerstone of US policy, and any reference has been dropped from the Republican platform. That's distressed American Jewish lobbyists, who see it as essential to Israel's future as a democratic and Jewish state.
At the same time, Israel's Jerusalem Post newspaper has noted that Mrs Clinton showed limited interest in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as secretary of state. It's suggested Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would most likely welcome such a position after the Obama administration's failed attempts to broker a peace deal.
The new president will inherit a crucial but complex relationship with this rising global power, characterised by disputes over its economic policy, charges of cyber theft, and claims to territory in the Asian seas.
Donald Trump approaches China primarily as a trade issue, singling Beijing out for criticism on dumping exports and devaluing its currency. He has said he would "use trade to negotiate", threatening tariffs as high as 45% and promising to designate Beijing as a currency manipulator.
Hillary Clinton has also vowed to impose consequences for trade abuses but says the relationship doesn't fit neatly into categories like friend or rival. She was a central actor in President Obama's strategic pivot to Asia and would continue to reinforce US alliances with Asian states as a counterweight to China.
She calls for increasing co-operation with Beijing in areas of mutual interest, but would press it to play by international rules.
She'd take a stronger stand on China's human rights record. She'd also continue to challenge its programme of "island building" in disputed waters and might be more hawkish about conducting intrusive air and sea patrols to ensure freedom of navigation.
Mr Trump has attributed China's assertive behaviour in regional waters to American weakness, but he has not spelled out how he would respond to it.
The next president will face a North Korea well on its way to becoming a nuclear power capable of delivering an atomic missile. Current US policy is a mix of sanctions and the promise of negotiations if Pyongyang abandons its nuclear programme.
That hasn't worked and isn't likely to, according to the head of US intelligence James Clapper.
He said recently that pressing the regime to give up its nuclear weapons was probably a "lost cause" because they were its "ticket to survival". The best the US could hope for, Clapper said, was a cap on North Korea's nuclear capabilities.
Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton would do more of the same: work with the UN to increase sanctions, bolster missile defences in Japan and South Korea, and press China to use its influence to deter Pyongyang.
Donald Trump suggests a more confrontational approach: he claims China has "total control" over North Korea and says he would "make trade very difficult" for Beijing if it didn't solve the problem.
He's prepared to talk directly with the isolated leader Kim Jong Un, a major shift in US policy. And he's said he'd be open to Japan developing its own nuclear deterrent, triggering fears of nuclear proliferation in East Asia.
Thomas Keating, 22, had pleaded guilty to reckless driving over the death of Emily Jayne Collie, 20, on the resort island of Phuket last month.
On Thursday, the Phuket Provincial Court handed Keating a one-year suspended sentence and a fine of 5,000 Thai baht (£115; $144).
He will now be able to leave Thailand.
Ms Collie suffered fatal neck and shoulder injuries when the pair collided on separate rented jet skis.
At the time, Keating told police his vision was impaired by sunlight reflecting off the water.
"I respect the judge's decision, and am grateful that the sentence was suspended," said Mr Keating said in a statement.
"This was a very difficult process for me… but the heartbreak that Emily's parents, Ian and Sallie Collie, are going through right now is infinitely and incomparably more difficult."
Ms Collie's parents have said they "do not believe anybody was at fault" in the collision.
Keating had been barred leaving the country until his trial was finished.
Secamb said it was disappointed its bid to provide the service from April 2017 had been unsuccessful.
The contract, which covers Surrey, Hampshire and Hounslow, has gone to South Central Ambulance Service.
The five-year contract was awarded on behalf of six clinical commissioning groups (CCGs).
Julia Ross, chief executive of North West Surrey CCG, said: "The new service will be more responsive and we have put steps in place to ensure the needs of patients are put front and centre."
James Underhay, deputy chief executive of South Central Ambulance Service, welcomed the news. He said: "We will continue to grow as an organisation while maintaining quality of service."
Secamb has been under intense scrutiny over its management of NHS 111 calls and has received a warning from the health regulator.
A spokesman said the trust had ensured its bid would allow it to provide a high-quality and responsive service.
But he said: "This news sadly sees the end of Secamb providing patient transport services in its region after a long and proud history."
Staff who were affected would be contacted to discuss next steps, he added.
Secamb covers Kent, Surrey, Sussex and north-east Hampshire, an area with a population of about 4.5m, and historically ran patient transport across the region.
Patient transport in Kent is now run by G4S and the service in Sussex by Coperforma.
From April, Secamb will provide emergency ambulances only.
South Central serves more than 4m people across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire.
Andrew Frankish, 22, and his brother Daniel, 19, both from Redcar, were given 21-week jail sentences suspended for two years after attacking a bulldog named Baby, who was later put down.

Both brothers, who admitted causing unnecessary suffering to Baby, were also given a six-month curfew and banned from keeping animals for life.
Redcar's Labour MP Anna Turley and UKIP MEP Jonathon Arnott both said the pair should have been jailed when they appeared before magistrates in Hartlepool.
Ms Turley, who has asked Justice Secretary Michael Gove to review the sentence, said: "I am disgusted by their actions.
"Lots of my constituents have contacted me expressing their horror at this cruel attack and the disbelief that the perpetrators have avoided jail.
"My fear is that the leniency of their sentencing will send a message to the brothers and other animal abusers that law enforcement is indifferent to animal welfare, which is why I have written to the minister asking for sentencing practices to be reviewed."
Mr Arnott said: "What more barbaric suffering does someone have to inflict on an animal before they are sent straight to jail?
"I am glad that they have been banned from keeping animals for life but I have no doubt that all right-minded people think that a 21-week suspended sentence was insufficient punishment."
Born into a middle-class family in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and with a dad who juggled three jobs to support everyone, the young Eduardo simply wanted more attention.
Yet he soon found out that he wasn't cut out for being a rebel and getting in trouble.
Thankfully, he then discovered he had a skill that would impress his father - he was rather good at doing business.
"I used to take fruits and nuts from the trees, and then sell them to the ice cream maker, or I used to buy sweets and re-sell them, those were my first micro-business ventures," he says.
That was six decades ago. Today Mr Costantini is 68 years old, and the self-made boss of an investment and property development empire which stretches from Argentina to the US.
He is considered a guru in Argentina for his ability to predict financial trends.
An avid art collector, he also owns one of the largest collections of Latin American art, which is housed in a museum he built in Buenos Aires in the 1990s.
Yet for all Mr Costantini's successes, there have been failures and controversies along the way.
After leaving school Mr Costantini did an economics degree at the Catholic University of Argentina in Buenos Aires, graduating in 1971. He then moved to the UK to do a masters in the same subject at the University of East Anglia in Norwich.
Upon returning to Argentina, Mr Costantini started his business empire in 1975, when he launched his own investment business, Consultatio.
He used the profits to start buying up property, which he then developed and sold on at a higher price.
By the end of the 1970s business was thriving, and Consultatio's property arm has gone on to help build sizeable new suburbs in Buenos Aires.
And from 1991 to 1993 Mr Costantini found the time to serve as vice president of one of Argentina's largest banks, BBVA Banco Frances.
But if Mr Costantini's successful day job involves investment and property development, his passion is collecting art.
I think that life, after all, is a collection of different moments and aspects that you have to build with patience and perseverance
"One day I saw this gallery where I really liked the works of Argentine artist Antonio Berni," he says.
"So I got in and bought my first two paintings. And I couldn't stay away from art since then."
He has since gone on to build a big collection of paintings and other art works from across Latin America.
But rather than lock them away, in 2001 he opened the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires, or Malba, a futuristic building that he paid for.
While such philanthropy has been welcomed by commentators in Argentina, some of Mr Costantini's developments have faced criticism, such as the upmarket new north Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Nordelta.
Built on former swampland in 1999, the large gated community has more than 40,000 residents, who have their own luxury harbour, shopping malls, sports clubs and medical centre.
Only one hour away from the buzz of central Buenos Aires, but a world apart, peaceful and relaxed Nordelta is home to football players, TV celebrities and business people.
Yet Nordelta has also had some unwelcome residents.
The development is sometimes dubbed a haven for Latin American drug dealers who are looking for a discreet retreat for their families. And in recent years some suspected drug traffickers have been arrested there.
Mr Costantini says he is worried about such things, adding that he is working with the authorities to find out the identity of such people, whom he says are a very small number of residents.
He has also faced criticism for only focusing on the expensive end of the property market, but Mr Costantini says he simply enjoys building "high-end projects that are aimed at those who can afford to pay a little more".
The Boss is a series profiling entrepreneurs from around the world.
In terms of overseas property developments, Mr Costantini's main focuses are neighbouring Uruguay and the US.
His American developments are centred on Florida, where he is building luxurious apartment complexes in Miami.
Yet he wasn't always so successful in the US, and looks back on a failed attempt to establish himself as an investor in New York.
"I had this utopian idea of trying to establish myself in New York in the 80s... so I moved there with my family," he says.
The world is getting wealthier - but with the gap between rich and poor feeling bigger than ever, who are the winners and losers of this richer world in 2015?

"But I was like [the legend of] Don Quixote fighting against the windmills, because all the big fishes like Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs were already there.
"So basically, the Big Apple didn't accept me. I came back to Argentina and to my business after a few months."
Despite the failure, he says he has no regrets.
"I could go back now [to New York], I have the money and the expertise, but I think I made the right decision."
Instead he is focusing on his developments in Miami, and building one of the newest skyscrapers in downtown Buenos Aires.
Looking back on his long career so far, he says: "I think that life, after all, is a collection of different moments and aspects that you have to build with patience and perseverance."
Former WBA super-bantamweight champion Quigg, 28, began sluggishly but took control to win the brutal eliminator.
It was the Englishman's first fight since he recruited American Freddie Roach as his trainer.
Earlier, Luke Campbell earned his shot at the WBA lightweight title with a ninth-round stoppage of Darleys Perez.
The 29-year-old Brit, who won a bantamweight Olympic gold medal at London 2012, largely dominated the eliminator contest with the Colombian, who was forced to pull out with what appeared to be an elbow injury.
The Quigg and Campbell contests were two of four fights on the undercard of the IBF and WBA heavyweight title fight between Great Britain's Anthony Joshua and Ukraine's Wladimir Klitschko.
After his fight, Campbell told Sky Sports: "That was exactly what I wanted. He [Perez] is a smart and patient fighter. I had to be smart, that's exactly what I wanted though as I got the stoppage and rounds.
"I wanted the rounds and to show what I can do. When I connected I nearly had him out. He has been in with some very good opponents and he is experienced."
WBA lightweight champion Jorge Linares was ringside for Saturday's fight and Campbell is keen to test himself against the Venezuelan, who beat Anthony Crolla to win the title before also defeating the Mancunian in a rematch in March.
"Linares is a brilliant champion," added Campbell. "To be the best you have to beat the best and that's exactly what I want to do."
Quigg made the step up to featherweight after losing his WBA title in a unification bout against Carl Frampton in February 2016 - his sole loss in 36 career fights.
This was only his second fight since that defeat and his profile has suffered while those of rivals Selby and Frampton have grown.
He was repeatedly caught early on, and it took until the fourth round before he began to make an impression on Romanian Simion, who was as willing as Quigg to exchange.
It was in the ninth when the former world champion, having pinned Simion to the ropes, landed a powerful right hand, but he then took a similar right cross in the 11th.
Ultimately, though, Quigg's superiority showed as he secured the fight via two scores of 117-111 and a 115-113.
Earlier on Saturday evening, Ireland's Olympic gold medallist Katie Taylor inflicted the first professional defeat of Nina Meinke's career by stopping the German in the seventh of 10 two-minute rounds.
The 30-year-old, who won gold at the 2012 Olympics, is now expected to challenge Uruguay's WBA world lightweight champion Cecilia Comunales.
There was also a win for Wales' Joe Cordina, the Rio 2016 Olympian, who stopped Russia's Sergej Vib in the first round to earn his second stoppage from two professional fights.
Analysis of lunar rock brought back by Apollo astronauts shows traces of the "planet" called Theia.
The researchers claim that their discovery confirms the theory that the Moon was created by just such a cataclysmic collision.
The study has been published in the journal Science.
The accepted theory since the 1980s is that the Moon arose as a result of a collision between the Earth and Theia 4.5 billion years ago.
Theia was named after a goddess in Greek mythology who was said to be the mother of Selene, goddess of the Moon. It is thought to have disintegrated on impact with the resulting debris mingling with that from the Earth and coalescing into the Moon.
It is the simplest explanation, and fits in well with computer simulations. The main drawback with the theory is that no-one had found any evidence of Theia in lunar rock samples.
Earlier analyses had shown Moon rock to have originated entirely from the Earth whereas computer simulations had shown that the Moon ought to have been mostly derived from Theia.
Now a more refined analysis of Moon rock has found evidence of material thought to have an alien origin.
According to the lead researcher, Dr Daniel Herwartz, from the University of Goettingen, no-one has found definitive evidence for the collision theory, until now.
"It was getting to the stage where some people were suggesting that the collision had not taken place," he told BBC News.
"But we have now discovered small differences between the Earth and the Moon. This confirms the giant impact hypothesis."
But the difference, some say, could be explained by material absorbed by the Earth after the Moon formed.
And Prof Alex Halliday of Oxford University, is among many scientists who are surprised that the difference between the Theian material found in the Moon rock and the Earth is so small.
"What you are looking for is a much bigger difference, because that is what the rest of the Solar System looks like based on meteorite measurements," he said.
Dr Herwartz measured the difference in what is called the isotopic composition of the oxygen contained in rocks on Earth and Moon rock. This is the ratio of different forms of oxygen.
Studies of meteorites from Mars and the outer solar system show that these ratios are markedly different - rather like a fingerprint. So Prof Halliday and others are puzzled by the fact that the fingerprints of Earth and Theia seem almost identical.
One possibility is that Theia was formed very close to the Earth and so had a similar composition. If that was the case, it raises the possibility that the assumption that each planet in the current Solar System has a markedly different fingerprint needs to be revisited, according to Prof Halliday.
"It raises the question of how well the meteorites from Mars and the asteroid belt in the outer Solar System are representative of the inner Solar System? We do not have samples from Mercury or Venus.
"They may well be similar to the Earth. If that is the case then all the arguments over the similarities of the Earth and the Moon fall away," he told BBC News.
Dr Mahesh Anand from the Open University described the research as "exciting" but noted that the data was from just three lunar rock samples.
"We have to be cautious about the representativeness of these rocks of the entire Moon, and so further analysis of a variety of lunar rocks is required for further confirmation," he said.
Other theories have been proposed to explain why the composition of the Earth and Moon are so similar: one is that the Earth spun much faster before impact, another is that Theia was much larger than current models suggest.
An alternative, controversial, theory proposed by Prof Rob de Meijer of Groningen University in the Netherlands is that the Earth's crust and mantle was blown into space by an accumulation of nuclear material 2,900km (1,800 miles) below the surface. It was this debris that clumped together to form the Moon.
He told BBC News that the new finding - demonstrating that there was a difference in the composition of the Earth and the Moon - did not change his view.
"The difference is too small," he said. "We don't know how the Moon was formed. What we need are manned missions to the Moon and a search for rocks deeper under the lunar surface, that have not been polluted by meteorite impacts and the solar wind."

The half-back, 28, has been capped 24 times by his country, most recently against England last Saturday.
O'Leary said: "I have been lucky enough to be part of winning teams at both Munster and Ireland and hope for even more success as a London Irish player."
He was a member of Ireland's Grand Slam winning side of 2009.
It had originally been speculated that the Cork-born player, who was part of Munster's Heineken Cup winning team of 2008 but has recently fallen down the pecking order internationally and for his province, would move to France.
London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith told the club's website: "It is great to be announcing this week, just ahead of our St Patrick's game, that a current Irish international will be joining us for next season.
"Tomas will be a fantastic addition to our squad. He is a proven scrum-half who has represented his country at the highest level. He will bring with him a wealth of experience and a winning mentality. We look forward to welcoming him to the club this summer."
O'Leary added: "Joining London Irish presents a new and exciting chapter in my career and one that I am really looking forward to.
"I am looking forward to working alongside Brian and the coaching team and testing myself in the Aviva Premiership and playing alongside a very talented squad at London Irish."
Fallon had been criticised for failing to ask tough questions when the presidential candidate appeared on The Tonight Show in September.
Instead, Fallon did a light-hearted interview during which he ruffled Mr Trump's hair.
Corden said Fallon had faced "quite a lot of criticism" that was "really unfair".
Cordon, who hosts The Late Late Show on US channel CBS, said: "I don't think anyone asked [President Trump] the right questions," he said.
"I don't think anyone took him to task or asked the questions that were needed."
Fallon's interview took place two months before the US presidential election - which saw the Republican nominee beat Hillary Clinton in a close election.
Speaking at PaleyFest TV, Corden refused to say whether he would invite the US president to appear on his own programme.
But he did reveal a game he would play with President Trump if he were a guest - called "Stand By It or Take It Back".
Corden said: "I would read things Donald Trump had said on the campaign trail and you've got two panels, you can stand by it or take it back.
"If you take it back, it's taken back forever. If you stand by it, you've got to tell me why. I felt like that was such a good game."
Corden also recalled bringing Mr Trump on stage during the Broadway run of the One Man, Two Guvnors play in 2012.
"I spanked him, I got him lifting up stuff, I fired him, it was great," Corden said.
Fallon defended his interview just after its broadcast, saying: "Have you seen my show? I'm never too hard on anyone. We'll have Hillary [Clinton] on tomorrow, and we'll do something fun with her too."

Irish travel to Yorkshire Carnegie in the Championship final first leg on Wednesday as they bid for promotion.
Scotland back row Cowan, 31, knows how important a return to top-flight rugby will be for the Exiles.
"For what we've got on the line and for a lot of us who really cherish this club, it means a lot to us," he said.
"We've put this in the top ranks of important games for us," Cowan told BBC Sport. "This club has given so much to me and it's my goal to make promotion realistic.
"The board have put so much faith in us as players and we want to do a job for them and the supporters."
Cowan was one of four Irish players named in the Championship team of the year and believes the experience in their squad will prove vital over two legs in the winner-takes-all final.
"We're really lucky to have a lot of boys in this squad who've experienced finals rugby," he said. "That's been a big help and we're prepared for it."
Irish, who secured top spot in the Championship by mid-March, face a Yorkshire side who finished second and hope to give head coach Bryan Redpath the perfect send-off before his departure in the summer.
The first leg at Headingley will be followed by the return leg at the Madejski Stadium on Wednesday, 24 May.
Fishermen alerted the navy after spotting the boat adrift about 80km (50 miles) off Sri Lanka's eastern coast, a spokesman said.
Three ships were deployed. They found one dead person on board. Many others are being treated for dehydration.
Sri Lanka has recently increased naval patrols to intercept migrant boats.
Boat accidents of this nature are not uncommon in Bangladesh, analysts say.
Human traffickers often lure illegal job seekers with promises of lucrative employment in Malaysia, Thailand and other South East Asian nations and take them in overloaded boats.
Fourteen people in the group rescued on Sunday are reportedly from Burma, with the rest coming from Bangladesh. Several women and children were among the survivors.
The navy spokesman said the boat had been adrift for 10 days, but it was unclear where those on board had started their journey from or what their destination was.
Some of those rescued said that when the boat neared Thailand, it was stopped by the Thai Coastguard.
The survivors alleged that they were beaten by the Thais, who confiscated their belongings, throwing them into the sea, before sending the boat on its way.
The account cannot be independently verified.
Many members of Burma's Muslim Rohingya group have been been trying to flee in the past few months, after ethnic violence in the Burmese state of Rakhine left tens of thousands displaced.

Waterworth headed in from close range after meeting a Guy Bates cross from the left in the 27th minute.
The striker drilled the ball underneath Aaron Shanahan on 47 and Mark Haughey headed in the third after 70 minutes.
Mark Hughes grabbed a consolation with a low shot but Waterworth volleyed home on 84 and slotted into the net on 88.
The Blues were eager to bounce back from last week's defeat by champions Crusaders and Aaron Burns had an early chance, but his shot was palmed away by Shanahan.
Waterworth's opener broke down the visitors' resistance and the striker put his team well in command shortly after the interval.
Central defender Haughey converted the rebound after an initial effort from Niall Quinn's corner had been saved, then Hughes fired into the bottom right corner, with Ross Glendinning unable to hold his right-foot shot from the edge of the box.
Waterworth completed his treble with his 13th goal of the season, finding the net with a neat finish from Quinn's left-wing cross.
The former Glentoran forward took his tally for the day to four by rounding Shanahan and slotting into the empty net.
The Victoria state government said the company, QMS, received a series of "abusive and threatening" complaints.
A spokesman for QMS would not detail the nature of the threats to the BBC.
The digital advert, promoting a series of government-backed events, had been the subject of online debate.
Victoria's Minister for Multicultural Affairs Robin Scott said it was disappointing to see "a small minority attacking proud Australians".
"Anyone who considers this a victory needs a refresher on the true meaning of Australia Day," he said in a statement.
"It is about bringing people together and celebrating the diversity which makes this state and this country great."
Australia Day is a public holiday celebrated on 26 January, marking the day Britain's First Fleet arrived in 1788.
The scrolling advert featured about five other images, a government spokeswoman said. The Guardian reported the images featured people of various cultural backgrounds.
It has been the subject of online discussion since Friday when a photo of the billboard was widely shared among far-right groups on Facebook.
People commenting on the posts claimed the image was not a true reflection of Australia Day, with some labelling it "propaganda".
But others defended the advert, saying Australia was a proud multicultural nation.
Richard Di Natale, leader of the left-wing Australian Greens, tweeted he was "disgusted by campaign to take down Australia Day sign featuring Muslim women".
Karen Murphy had to pay nearly £8,000 in fines and costs for using a cheaper Greek decoder in her Portsmouth pub to bypass controls over match screening.
But she took her case to the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
The ECJ now says national laws which prohibit the import, sale or use of foreign decoder cards are contrary to the freedom to provide services.
The decision could trigger a major shake-up for the Premier League and its current exclusive agreements with Sky Sports and ESPN, and pave the way to cheaper viewing of foreign broadcasts for fans of top-flight English games.
However, whereas the decision opens up opportunities for individuals to watch overseas broadcasts at home, it remains unclear whether in future games can be shown in pubs using foreign decoders and broadcasts, as the ruling also threw up a number of copyright issues.
The ECJ said national legislation, which banned the use of overseas decoders, could not "be justified either in light of the objective of protecting intellectual property rights or by the objective of encouraging the public to attend football stadiums".

Today's ruling could lead to a major shake-up in the way TV rights have to be sold in the European Union, not just by the Premier League, but by the Hollywood film studios and independent TV producers as well.
The makers of Spooks have warned that it could hinder investment in UK production if they can't sell the programme country-by-country.
But it's a complicated ruling - and it's not a total victory for Karen Murphy.
She can now watch Premier League matches herself via the Greek service, but it's not clear she can show them to her customers.
The court has ruled that although there is no copyright in the matches themselves, there is copyright in the "branding" around the football - the Premier League graphics, music and highlights.
If those are there, pubs will still need the League's permission to show its matches.
It's now up to the UK High Court to interpret today's ruling, and that is not likely to happen for several months.
But the Premier League's said the ECJ's answers to the High Court's questions were "complex".
"We are pleased that the judgment makes it clear that the screening in a pub of football-match broadcasts containing protected works requires the Premier League's authorisation," the league said.
Only Sky and ESPN are currently authorised by the Premier League to make such broadcasts.
"I'm relieved, very relieved," Mrs Murphy told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It has been a rollercoaster, highs and lows, nerves... It has been a strange time and I am glad it is coming to an end."
She added: "I feel I have taken on the Premier League and Sky."
Mrs Murphy said she no longer had a decoder box in her Red, White and Blue pub and would wait for the "stamp of approval" from the High Court before reinstating it.
The ECJ findings will now go to the High Court in London, which had sent the matter to the ECJ for guidance, for a final ruling.
However, it is unusual for a member state High Court to pass a different judgement from one provided by the ECJ.
Read David Bond's blog on the issue
"In practical terms, the Premier League will now have to decide how it wishes to re-tender its rights," said sports media lawyer Daniel Geey of Field Fisher Waterhouse solicitors.
"There can be little doubt it will have contingency plans ready to go and has various options available.
"Be it a pan-EU tender, selling in only certain EU member states or devising a plan to start its own channel, they will be deciding how best to maximise the value of their product to ensure any revenue shortfall is minimised."
The judges said the Premier League could not claim copyright over Premier League matches as they could not considered to be an author's own "intellectual creation" and, therefore, to be "works" for the purposes of EU copyright law.
However, the ECJ did add that while live matches were not protected by copyright, any surrounding media, such as any opening video sequence, the Premier League anthem, pre-recorded films showing highlights of recent Premier League matches and various graphics, were "works" protected by copyright.
To use any of these extra parts associated of a broadcast, a pub would need the permission of the Premier League.
It remains to be seen whether pubs could broadcast match action without using any of these Premier League "extras", such as just broadcasting from kick-off only and therefore avoid breaching the league's copyright.
By ensuring that its branding was on screen all the time, or including in-match graphics, the league may be able to claim pubs were in breach of this ECJ ruling on copyright.
"It's not a decision that the Premier League or its clubs wanted," Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey told BBC Radio WM after the ECJ ruling was made.
"The Premier League have been aware of the situation and the possibility of the judgement going against them for some time now and have been assessing how it will sell TV rights going forward.
"Football has shown itself to be a resilient business."
He said the Premier's League's financial model had been challenged by the ECJ ruling, and any future sales would need to take the court's decision into account.

Karen Murphy's court victory was dominating conversation at her Red, White and Blue pub after news of the ruling spread.
Pub regular Nicholas Whyley, 50, said: "I am over the moon for Karen. She has been a very brave lady to take them on single-handily."
Derek Woolven, 72, said: "It's a victory for the small person. She put her whole reputation and pub on the line.
He also said he hoped the decision would stand when it went to the High Court.
Mrs Murphy's family, meanwhile, said they were "delighted" she had won her battle.
Her mother Joy Williamson said her daughter "didn't sleep a wink last night".
"It's been a huge effort over the last six years to get here but we are delighted with the ruling," she said.
And Mrs Murphy's husband Patrick Murphy, 56, said it had "always been about the principle".
"On the face of it, it looks like a blow for the Premier League and... broadcasters Sky and ESPN," said BBC sport editor David Bond.
But he said the Premier League had faced many regulatory challenges in the past and would find ways to get round the new situation.
"The League insists the ruling is not clear cut, pointing to a part of the judgment which appears to offer them copyright protection and requiring pubs to seek their permission if they wish to use foreign decoders," added our correspondent.
"It is a confused picture and it is now up to the High Court to try and interpret the judgment. Whatever happens the league is confident it is not about to suffer a major loss in TV income."
A spokesman for Sky said they were considering the implications of the ECJ ruling and how it may affect the way Premier league football rights were sold across Europe in future.
The broadcaster has pumped billions into top flight English football since the league was founded in 1992, with the money given to clubs allowing them to buy some of the top names in the world.
The Premier League's television income from mainland Europe is about £130m, less than 10% of their total £1.4bn overseas rights deal.
However, the court decision could have a significant repercussions for other rights holders outside of sport, with life potentially getting more difficult for the film industry, which also sells its product on an country-by-country basis.
Smithfield Partners is a law firm which represents David Richardson of QC Leisure (a digital box supplier), and SR Leisure Limited (a publican), all of whom were defendants to a civil action brought by the Premier League.
"We consider this ruling to be a significant step in creating fair competition across the internal market, reducing artificially inflated prices which vary across member states," said the firm's Martin Ochs.
"It also provides some clarity in relation to the rights of businesses within the EU to broadcast live football. In fact this decision is likely to have far reaching implications beyond that of football."
The legal battle kicked off six years ago, when Mrs Murphy was taken to court for using the Nova firm to show matches at the Red, White and Blue pub.
Using the Greek service, she had paid £118 a month, rather than £480 a month with the official broadcaster.
Licensed broadcasters encrypt satellite signals, with subscribers needing a decoder card to access them.
Mrs Murphy took advantage of an offer to UK pubs to use imported cards.
In February, an ECJ advocate general said this was in line with the aims of the EU single market - a border-free zone for goods and services.
The Premier League has already taken action against two suppliers of foreign satellite equipment and a group of pub landlords who used imported decoding equipment to show English Premier League games and avoided the commercial premises subscription fees for Sky.
The former Inter Milan goalkeeper, 56, was appointed on Saturday after Kenny Jackett was sacked the previous day.
"Experience is very important in life. I have coached in three continents and eight different countries," he said.
"When you are a citizen of the world and go around the world, you understand the culture. It's not difficult."
Zenga watched from the stands on Saturday as Wolves lost 4-0 to Swansea City at Molineux in their final pre-season friendly before they begin their Championship campaign at Rotherham United on Saturday.
Wolves are the sixteenth side Zenga has managed, after spells in the USA, Romania and most recently the United Arab Emirates, where he coached Al-Shaab for a short spell earlier this year.
Zenga has been given the task of "promotion to the Premier League" after the club were taken over by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International last month.

"Fortunately for me, last year I followed the Championship from February because I was at home and every week I watched it," Zenga told BBC WM.
"It is a competition I love so much because it is like the Premier League. I don't say that I understand everything but some major things are in my mind."
In addition to the signings of goalkeeper Andy Lonergan, winger Helder Costa and defender Silvio, the club are set to sign 22-year-old midfielder Joao Teixeira from Benfica on a season-long loan.
One woman was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after the crash on the A470 between Betws-y-Coed and Llanrwst on Sunday at 13:30 BST.
A man and woman were also taken to hospital after the collision involving a white BMW car and motorbike. The male motorcyclist died at the scene.
North Wales Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash.
While the most popular horse in flat racing seeks to become the first runner to win the Goodwood Cup three years in a row, other big names are also chasing glory.
From the fascinating prospect of a 'Duel on the Downs' between Ribchester and Churchill, to Winter's bid for a fourth straight Group One win of year, the meeting is filled with stellar talent.
Here, BBC Sport guides you through the moments to watch out for.
First things first: don't miss any of the features.
Two of the biggest prizes of the Tuesday-to-Saturday festival, the Goodwood Cup and the Nassau Stakes, have both moved slots.
In changes that could catch out the unwary, the £500,000 Goodwood Cup, now upgraded to Group One status, is to be staged on the opening afternoon, not Thursday.
Meanwhile, the £600,000 Nassau Stakes for fillies and mares - which is already a Group One race - has upped sticks from Saturday to take centre stage on Thursday.
Officials hope the moves will boost attendance for the early part of the fixture, sponsored for the third year by Qatar.
Big Orange, the most popular horse in flat racing, will attempt to rewrite history by becoming the first horse to win the 205-year-old Goodwood Cup three times on the bounce.
Record holder Double Trigger was successful three times in four years - winning in 1995, 1997 and 1998.
In June, the big, powerful son of the stallion Duke Of Marmalade - hence the Big Orange name - raised the Royal Ascot roof with a narrow success over Order Of St George in the Gold Cup there.
Now, with jockey-of-the-moment Frankie Dettori back on board after missing Ascot because of injury, Big Orange faces up to 15 opponents in the two-mile race.
Big Orange's Newmarket-based trainer Michael Bell likes what he's seen from the six-year-old in training of late. The Bell team might not be the only ones to have noticed that.
"When we walk down from Warren Hill [gallops], there's a road beside that runs up towards the village of Moulton, and the school bus invariably goes past at the time he's walking home," Bell told BBC Sport.
"When he sees the bus, my head lad Tyrone Lloyd-Jones, who rides him, has a job to sit on him, though he's always ready for it.
"He goes through a few motions, whips round or throws a few shapes. But it tells us - and maybe the kids on the bus - his well-being. If he doesn't do it, we know he's not 100% himself."
A catchy name and a bold, front-running style have gained a wider and wider following for Big Orange, owned by businessman Bill Gredley and his son Tim.
All fans know that the horse prefers drier ground conditions, so, for them, it would be 'Glorious' if Goodwood's weather could live up to its long-held nickname.
With a nod to Goodwood's picturesque location high up above the cathedral city of Chichester, they call the £1m Group One Sussex Stakes the 'Duel on the Downs'.
In recent years, there have been all sorts of shootouts involving top-notch runners such as Kingman, Toronado, Canford Cliffs and two-time winner Frankel.
In 2017, two more big names are taking aim.
Ribchester, successful in this season's Lockinge Stakes and Queen Anne Stakes, faces the three-year-old Churchill, victorious in the Newmarket and Irish 2000 Guineas.
The Coolmore-owned and bred Churchill, trained by Aidan O'Brien, must bounce back from a defeat at Royal Ascot, and may find the increasingly imperious four-year-old Ribchester, part of Sheikh Mohammed's resurgent Godolphin string and trained by Richard Fahey, quicker on the draw.
No, don't panic, not that kind of winter, but the three-year-old filly named Winter, who is all set to try to make it four stellar wins on the trot in the Nassau Stakes.
A one-mile standard-bearer for Coolmore, she has already mopped up in both the Newmarket and Irish 1000 Guineas, as well as the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Trainer Aidan O'Brien is upping her distance by a quarter-mile, and she has some hardy opponents, but she'll probably freeze them out all the same.
Big Orange is not the only popular runner with an easy-to-remember name going for an historic repeat success at Goodwood.
Take Cover - 'TC' to jockey-turned-trainer David Griffiths and his team at Bawtry, South Yorkshire - attempts to become the first horse to record three wins in the Group Two King George Stakes on day four.
The potentially tricky undulations of the Goodwood track make it one that often attracts the 'horses for courses' brigade, and the veteran 10-year-old is firmly in that camp.
This will be the fifth year running that he has come to either the King George Stakes or to a supporting race, and he has never been out of the first two nor beaten much more than the length of Top Cat's whiskers.
"It seems stupid to say it when he's 10 years old," said Griffiths, "but he seems be taking his races better than he used to - can that be possible?
"He was great when winning at York last time, and seems just as good and strong as last year.
"He's won on heavy [going], but ideally wants it good or firmer. I've been driving the clerk of the course [Seamus Buckley] mad ringing for the latest reports."
Griffiths was an apprentice jockey with trainer Ian Balding when one of his greatest stars Lochsong, looked after by good friend Chris Scudder, became the most recent dual King George Stakes winner, in 1993 and '94.
"You see your mate go to Goodwood with the stable star and win," he said, "and of course you think about doing it yourself one day.
"When Take Cover won the second and emulated Lochsong, it was very special, but to beat her record, and therefore, I suppose, beat the Guv'nor [Balding] would be fantastic, a dream."
Take Cover is sure to go well, but the race favourite Battaash will be hard to beat.
Projection, trained by Roger Charlton, was a fine third at Royal Ascot in the big-field Wokingham Handicap, when he was the first home of the runners racing on the stands' side of the track.
The 21,874 fans at Valley Parade saw City enjoy the bulk of the possession, but they could not add the finishing touches to some attractive football and almost fell victim to some decent counter-attacking play by the visitors.
Bradford created the best chances in the first half but the nearest they went to scoring was in the 33rd minute when James Meredith's left-wing cross was deflected in to the path of Filipe Morais whose left-foot shot was saved by the diving Luke Daniels.
Scunthorpe's best first-half effort was a 25-yard shot from League One's top scorer Josh Morris against his former club but he was denied by Colin Doyle's save.
The Bantams went close to scoring at the start of the second half when Timothee Dieng and then Morais had shots blocked in the box after Scunthorpe's defence failed to clear Meredith's low cross.
At the other end, Morris had a 20-yard free-kick saved at the near post by Doyle and then fired over from 20 yards in the 67th minute after Paddy Madden's through-ball left him clear on goal.
In another counter-attack, Tom Hopper could only divert Madden's left-wing cross wide at full stretch.

The lessons are part of the "Recognise and Remove" campaign for schools on the risks associated with head injuries.
They can be accessed online at the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) website.
The campaign was launched following the death of Benjamin Robinson from Carrickfergus in a rugby match in 2011.
The 14-year-old was allowed to carry on playing despite suffering from concussion.
His parents had argued he should have been taken off the pitch, after being momentarily knocked out during the game.
While most attention has been focused on rugby, Benjamin's father, Peter, said there were risks beyond the rugby pitch.
"We teach swimming, we teach road safety, and concussion can happen anywhere," he said.
"Rugby is probably leading the way when it comes to dealing with concussion, but it can happen in any sport.
"It doesn't even have to be in the sports environment, so it's vital that everyone knows the signs and symptoms."
Mr Robinson was at the launch of the lessons at Lagan College in Belfast, as were representatives from the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), Ulster Rugby, the Irish Football Association (IFA) and Ulster Hockey.
The lessons are not compulsory, but Education Minister John O'Dowd said that it was important they were widely used.
"In extreme cases, lives could depend on this, and we want young people to know that they are not letting the team down if they feel they cannot continue," he said.
"The coach should also not be under pressure to make sure a young person stays on the pitch.
"The best thing to do if someone has a head injury is that they sit the rest of the game out."
The Principal of Lagan College, Amanda McNamee, said it was vital to be prepared.
"It's something we've seen not only on the sports pitch, but when children are playing and moving around at the school," she said.
"We become the parents of the children during the school day when they're in our care, so it's important that we don't put children unduly at risk and we are making sound decisions based on information we have been given."
Northern, Eastern and Western Devon CCG dropped the move aimed at cutting its ??14.5m deficit.
Chief financial officer Hugh Groves said in a report that the failed move was among factors that had "impacted" on its "financial recovery plan".
He said he expected debts to rise by about another ??13m to ??26.7m by the end of the financial year.
He told the clinical commissioning group, which organises delivery of health services, that other factors behind the projected rise were increases in emergency surgery and in patients during the winter.
The CCG called plans to limit surgery on obese people and smokers "urgent and necessary" when it announced them last October.
As part of the cost-cutting measures, patients with a body mass index of 35 or above would have had to shed 5% of their weight, while smokers would have had to quit eight weeks before non-essential surgery.
But the plans were dropped last December after they drew criticism from the Royal College of Surgeons, which said losing weight was not possible for some.
The CCG has agreed new guidance to GPs that patients "will be encouraged but not required to lose weight" and smokers will be "encouraged but not required to stop smoking".
No-one was available for further comment from the CCG.

How did this happen? And can the slide be stopped?
BBC News explains, in 60 seconds.
Video journalist: Mohamed Madi
Davies, 34, and midfielder Hollands, 30, are out of contract this summer and talks have started to re-sign the pair.
"It has to be the right deal for both the players and the club," Catlin told BBC Radio Solent. "We'll only get that deal when it suits both parties.
"They're both great lads who've had great seasons for us."
Pompey missed out on promotion from League Two following a play-off semi-final defeat by Plymouth.
Catlin said any new deals for Davies and Hollands would have to fit within the football budget.
"You can't be sentimental in football," he said. "You have to move forward and look to improve next season.
"I'm not saying that signing Ben and Danny wouldn't improve us but, financially, we've got a strict budget and it's whether or not we can accommodate them."
Drivers parked on the roadside near the Storey Arms over the weekend after the visitor car parks overflowed.
But Dyfed-Powys Police said the number of parked cars led to "significant disruption and traffic issues", and it started handing out notices.
About 115 drivers were issued with tickets, set at £50 each.
The force tweeted: "If your vehicle is one of those parked on A470 Storey Arms you are in the process of receiving a parking ticket. Move your vehicle please."
Tom Martin, 30, said he was "astounded" to see rows of cars with yellow parking tickets plastered on their windshields.
"I couldn't see anything telling people not to park on the side of the road, and there were hundreds of cars there by late morning so it would've looked like a legitimate parking spot to people passing by," he said.
James Morgan wrote on Facebook: "I think people are missing the point here. The roads were impassable.
"It was bedlam there - hundreds of cars parked on grass verge for miles. It made access for emergency vehicles impossible."
Insp Matt Scrase said: "We have to ensure that emergency vehicles have access in the event of an incident.
"This was particularly important over the weekend when road conditions were poor and there was an endurance event taking place."

The former England captain donated £1,600 to the family of Tommi Miller, who he met last year.
He told the Cambridge News he was "totally devastated" to hear he had died.
Tommi's mother Ruth Miller said she was "overwhelmed" by the gesture and is also planning to buy a "special headstone" with the money.
She said the family, who live in Thorpe Way, Cambridge, were "very proud" the footballer remembered him.

"When we visited the stadium, you could tell John Terry was really taken by him and his cheekiness but it was still a shock when we heard.
"Tommi obviously made a big impression on him and he was one of his favourite players so it's very special to us," she said.
Tommi, who was diagnosed with leukaemia aged three, died last month after an unsuccessful attempt was made to carry out a bone marrow transplant.
A family friend contacted Terry on Instagram to ask if he would like to contribute to the costs and he replied saying he would "love to help."
When he was told it was £1,600, Terry phoned up the funeral director to arrange the payment.

The England captain returned to the Saints' side in their 36-31 defeat by Leicester on 25 March.
"I've had a frustrating 18 months I suppose," hooker Hartley, 31, told BBC Radio Northampton.
"I haven't played as much rugby for Saints as I'd have liked, but playing against Leicester was a great feeling."
Due to a combination of England duty, suspensions and concussion absences, Hartley has made only 15 appearances for Northampton in the last two seasons.
But while he has no plans to end his international ambitions to prolong his club career, he is now looking forward to helping Saints' pursuit of the top four.
He said: "I want to play my best and play in the best teams and part of that is going away with England.
"I've done it for almost 10 years now and that's something I'll never give up on, but I love playing for Northampton and I want to play as many games as possible.
"With the intensity England train at, I feel fit and I felt like I played a good game against Leicester, so form-wise I feel good.

The collection of photographs found on a website also show 21-year-old Dylann Roof burning the US flag and visiting a former slave plantation.
In one image he is shown staring down the camera while sitting on a chair in camouflage trousers holding a gun.
It is unclear who posted the images on the site, which was found on Saturday.
The website also carries a racist manifesto, the provenance of which is also unknown. Internet records suggest the website's domain was registered in February but it is unclear who was behind it.
A law enforcement official, quoted by AP, said the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was looking into the website.
Data from the images show many of them were taken in April and May this year.
Many of the photographs show Mr Roof posing with the Confederate flag, a symbol used in the US south during the civil war when southern states tried to break away to prevent the abolition of slavery.
It is viewed by many as symbolising the white supremacy advocated by those states at the time.
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has joined calls for South Carolina to take down the controversial flag flying outside its capitol building in Columbia.
It follows US President Barack Obama's remark that the flag belonged "in a museum".
Hundreds of demonstrators rallied near the flag on Saturday to demand its removal.
Protesters chanted "Take it down" and sang We Shall Overcome, an anthem of the black civil rights movement.
On Friday, South Carolina's Republican state representative Doug Brannon told MSNBC that he planned to introduce legislation to remove the flag.
Elsewhere, Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton has made an impassioned appeal for tougher gun laws, saying that her heart was "bursting" for the families of the victims of the Charleston shooting.
"We can have common sense gun reforms that keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the violently unstable, while representing responsible gun owners," she told a gathering of mayors in San Francisco.
Mr Roof was arrested on Thursday and charged with the murders of nine African-Americans at the Emanuel African Methodist Church in downtown Charleston.
Police said he spent an hour sitting with parishioners inside the church before opening fire on them on Wednesday evening.
Crowds gathered outside the historic church on Saturday to hear pastors from across the US lead prayers. Many travelled hundreds of miles from across the country to pay their respects.
"There was an overwhelming feeling that made me drive here," Monte Talmadge, a 62-year-old army veteran who drove nearly 480km (300 miles) to get to Charleston, told Reuters.
Also on Saturday, a group of congregation members met for the first time in the room where the killings took place.
One of those who attended, Harold Washington, told the Associated Press it was an emotional meeting.
Several rallies were due on Saturday, with one in Charleston organised by the Black Lives Matter movement, which began after the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman over the killing of an unarmed African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin.
Up to 3,000 people are also expected to join hands in a march across the Ravanel Bridge, one of the city's main thoroughfares.
The church is due to reopen on Sunday for a service at 09:00 local time (13:00 GMT).

They say they were not included in negotiations to end the action over pay.
On Friday, state officials threatened to charge more than 700 police with rebellion.
The strike has left a security vacuum, causing a wave of violence that has reportedly left 137 people dead.
Wives and relatives of the officers have been blockading stations because Brazil's military police, who carry out street patrols, are barred by law from going on strike. They face two years in prison if convicted.
Brazil's Defence Minister, Raul Jungmann who was visiting the state, said 3,000 troops drafted in to deal with state security would stay for as long as was needed.
He appealed to the women protesters to allow the police to leave police stations.
"I ask these police wives to not lead your husbands, your partners into a trap. There is no alternative and these actions are not going to lead anywhere."
Similar protests were staged in Rio de Janeiro but most police personnel there did not stop patrols.
Brazil's President Michel Temer addressed the crisis for the first time on Friday calling the strike "illegal" and saying: "The right to protest cannot take the Brazilian people hostage."
The strike paralysed many parts of Espirito Santo with local officials closing schools, clinics and public transport, while shops and businesses remained shuttered.
By Saturday, buses which had stopped running because of concerns that they might be wrecked, had gradually started running again.
In Rio de Janeiro, which has been struggling to pay public sector salaries, family members of police officers organised similar strikes at several police stations but the protest did not stop police patrols in most areas.
Similar protests were attempted in the northern state of Para, in the capital, Belem.
Espirito Santo is one of several Brazilian states struggling with a budget crisis that is crippling public services.
Military police salaries there are the lowest of all 27 Brazilian states.
James Laurence Farrelly, 51, is accused of killing Martin Hamilton whose body was found near West Calder in West Lothian on 17 December.
At Livingston Sheriff Court, Mr Farrelly, from Blackburn, West Lothian, made no plea or declaration andwas remanded in custody.
Hamilton, from Glasgow, was previously one of Scotland's most wanted men.
He was released from prison in September 2014 but went missing in April last year.
Hamilton was nicknamed the Blackhill Butcher, after the Glasgow housing estate from which he operated.
He had been on the police's most-wanted list before he was jailed in 2000 over a string of charges including drug dealing, torture, abduction and sodomy.
Owners and creditors of the airline have a plan to cut costs and jobs, but it needed approval from eight trade unions representing pilots and cabin crew in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
The airline said on Monday afternoon it had reached agreement with the one remaining union that had held out.
SAS wants to cut 6,000 jobs.
Agreement with seven of the unions had been reached by early morning on Monday, with the Danish cabin crew union the only remaining obstacle.
"I am very happy that we managed to get a deal," said Helge Thuesen, the union's chairman. "We have stretched ourselves very, very far to reach out to SAS."
SAS said that the Danish pilots' union still needed to obtain approval from one-third of its members, which will be "finalised in the next few days" according to the airline's statement.
Shares in the company jumped by almost a quarter in Monday trading. Even so, they are still down by 98% since their peak in 2007.
"We have successfully negotiated seven of eight collective agreements, which is gratifying," said chief executive Rickard Gustafson.
"But there remains one union and we must have it on board too. That is a condition for carrying out our plan."
An agreement with all eight unions is a precondition for SAS to receive a 3.5bn-Swedish krona ($518m, ??325m) loan from its three government parents and from seven current lenders.
Despite the encouraging turn of events, rating agency Standard & Poor's said on Monday that it had cut SAS's credit rating from B- to CCC+, and placed it on review for further downgrade.
S&P attributed its downgrade decision to the company's weak cashflow position, noting it had debts coming up for repayment over the next 12 months, and risked a loss of confidence by its suppliers.
The rating agency made no reference to the union negotiations, but said it would make a decision about a possible further downgrade in the next three months, once it becomes clear whether SAS's restructuring plan is successful, including the possible knock-on impact on ticket sales.
SAS has struggled to deal with stiff competition from rival discount airlines, despite several attempts to cut its own costs.
The airline, in which the governments of Sweden, Denmark and Norway control key stakes, had set Sunday as a deadline for an agreement with trade unions on wage cuts, as well as changes to pensions and working hours for staff, but talks were extended into Monday.
In the early hours of Monday, at Copenhagen's main airport, negotiators were seen entering and leaving the company's headquarters, taking a break for food and drink.
"It has been a very gruelling process," said Espen Pettersen, deputy head of the main Norwegian cabin union.
"We have made big concessions in this agreement. We are not very happy, but we felt we had no other choice but to sign to secure the jobs and the company."
According to Norwegian press, pilots have agreed to a pay cut equivalent to one month's salary, as well as an 8% increase in their workload.
The company's turnaround plan - dubbed "4 Excellence Next Generation" - aims to reduce costs by 3bn krona per year, and sell 3bn krona of assets.
Fears have been widely expressed in the Scandinavian media that a lack of a deal might prompt the airline to apply for immediate bankruptcy.
SAS has told crews to ensure planes are fully fuelled, so that they are able to return home if necessary.
The carrier has also given cash to staff to ensure they can get access to hotels in the case of a bankruptcy.
SAS has said that it wants to cut staff numbers from 15,000 to 9,000, as well as cut salaries by up to 17%.
Marcos Rojo is also fit again after a knock but Phil Jones remains sidelined with a bruised foot.
Watford's Christian Kabasele has recovered from a muscle problem and could feature.
However, the game is likely to come too early for Nordin Amrabat, who has returned to training after an ankle injury.
Steve Bower: "I was at Vicarage Road back in September to see Watford's first-ever Premier League points against Manchester United, but Jose Mourinho's team have a much more solid and settled look about them now.
"United are currently on their longest unbeaten league run since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, but they know it is all about winning in the chase for a top-four finish.
"The Old Trafford draws against Stoke, Burnley, West Ham and Hull are still frustrating memories. Had those been victories, United would have been second, six points off Chelsea.
"Those results will be a source of belief for Watford, as will their recent victory at the Emirates; they've enjoyed upsetting the odds at times this season, although will have to be at their very best to do so again,"
Twitter: @SteveBowerComm
United have had problems breaking defences down at home before but I don't think that is a particular strength of Watford's.
Jose Mourinho's side lost 3-1 at Vicarage Road in September, which was one of the low points of their season, but I can see them getting their own back here.

North, 22, left the field on a stretcher and was also twice hit in the head in Wales' Six Nations defeat by England in Cardiff on 6 February.
He was left motionless after a knee to the head from Wasps' Nathan Hughes.
"Thanks for all the messages," North said on his Twitter account on Saturday morning. "Feeling ok, up and about."
Saints' director of rugby Jim Mallinder added on Friday that the Welshman was "walking about in the dressing room" after the game, while the club issued a statement on Saturday to say the player had begun treatment and would see a specialist next week.
"He has been into the club today (Saturday) for treatment and will continue to be monitored by the Saints' experienced medical team throughout the weekend," said the statement.
"As with everyone in the squad, Northampton Saints places the highest importance on player welfare, and as such North will see a specialist early next week for an assessment."
North's knocks against England in the Six Nations opener prompted controversy as he was allowed to play on - but he missed Wales' trip to Scotland after being given an "extended recovery period".
The former Scarlets man was hurt in the act of scoring his second try when he was caught on the head by the knee of Wasps forward Hughes, who was sent off for dangerous play but protested his innocence.
"The opposition have got to then be very careful once the try is scored and it was reckless coming in with the knee," added Mallinder. "Some serious consequences happened because of it."
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young saw his side concede two tries in five minutes after the dismissal which he felt was "harsh".
Young added: "I hope George is okay, Nathan has gone looking for him to make sure he is okay - he is not that type of person [who would injure someone deliberately]."
Jonathan Kodjia came close for Ivory Coast but his toe-poke was well saved by goalkeeper Kossi Agassa.
At the other end, Sylvain Gbohouo rushed out of his goal to save smartly at the feet of Mathieu Dossevi.
Late on, Ivory Coast defender Serge Aurier headed wide from an unmarked position in a rare clear-cut chance.
Neither side found their fluency - not helped by a poor pitch - and even from early on the game had the look of a stalemate.
Wilfried Zaha, making his competitive debut for Ivory Coast after switching international allegiance from England, looked just about the liveliest player on show.
Switching wings regularly, he cut in off the right to send a shot just over and later ended a good run from the left with an effort that was well blocked.
Both sides were guilty of wasting set-piece opportunities. Togo's corners left a lot to be desired, while Ivory Coast fared no better from a series of free-kicks.
Aurier should have snatched a winner for the Elephants but nodded wide from six yards.
Four of the five games at the tournament have now been drawn.

The piece will be for an art installation to be sent out to California. But Ms Shin is planning more than just the future of this piece, she's thinking about her own future too - her retirement.
Ms Shin is part of a group called Artist Pension Trust (APT), an organisation that uses work from professional artists as the basis for raising funds they can use to retire.
"I'm interested in alternative systems for artists," Ms Shin says of the group's approach.
Artists traditionally rely on grants to fund their works, and sell their pieces to galleries or collectors for large one-off sums. Fluctuations in the art market can mean the prices swing massively, leaving artists without a stable income or the ability to put savings away for their retirement.
With this in mind, APT decided to bring artists together to invest not money, but their work in a new type of pension account.
"The idea was to share the risk of financial insecurity," said Al Brenner, chief executive of Mutual Art, the organisation that owns APT.
Like traditional pensions or trusts, APT works by pooling resources and sharing the value that is gained over time with its member. But rather than putting in money APT members must hand in 20 pieces of their art over 20 years.
APT keeps the art typically for ten years, often displaying it at exhibitions and museums before selling and distributing the proceeds.
Ten years ago Ms Shin was approached by a friend and curator, who worked for APT, about joining. She says the invitation felt like a vote of confidence in her work and an opportunity to add financial security to her future.
"At some point when you decide that [you are] going to make art your life and your profession then you are told that the odds of that kind of sustainable living are nearly impossible," says Ms Shin.
Like the other artists in the trust Ms Shin was early in her career when she joined - most artists are between 30 and 45 when they join - but like most she had already had success showing her work at several established galleries and museums.
APT has set up trusts across the world in cities including New York, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Beijing. The number of members in each trust is limited to 250.
Artists are hoping to benefit not just from the increase in the value of their work but in the value of others work.
On 2 March APT participated in its first public auction, selling 13 pieces it has held for close to a decade. The group will participate in a second auction in London on 12 April.
From APT's perspective, this first sale at Sotheby's New York was a success. Collectively the work sold for $231,000 (£188,266). APT's low estimate of how much the work would sell for was $167,000.
"If you put works at auction you want to make sure they will sell well," says Mr Brenner, adding that he felt the auction would help get the word out about APT's collection and help future sales efforts.
But there are uncertainties about selling at auctions. Pieces can sell for lower than expected to buyers looking for a deal or skyrocket in a bidding war.
One bidder at Sotheby's, who would not give his name, noted that the piece he had bid for was an artist's early work which was less valuable. "I would have taken it if I could have gotten it at a discount," he said. He did not win that piece.
Many artists prefer private sales where the price is kept secret. This protects the artist's work from being stuck in a certain price bracket and allows buyers to go into future negotiations without a preconceived idea of what they are willing to spend.
APT does not give their artists a choice of how their work is sold, although they do take artists' input into consideration.
After a sale, the artist whose work was sold receives 40% of the revenue. The remaining artists in the trust split a further 32% of the money and the rest is used for APT overheads.
The artists don't have to be 65 to receive a payout. The money is distributed annually, but most do think of it as an investment for their future.
"Like many people in America I will invest in the future if I have extra funds," says Ms Shin, "I'm not banking on this to work out but I think it's an interesting alternative."
For artists - a class of individuals used to thinking outside the box - this creative approach to financial planning might be just the ticket to a stable retirement.
But like the art itself, the real value will take years to grow.
These gangs have spent years kidnapping oil workers, attacking oil fields, blowing up pipelines and fighting Nigeria's army.
Niger Delta politicians originally created the gangs - by arming young men to use as their private armies and to rig elections.
But later, the young men began to turn the guns on the government, and oil companies, organising into a militant movement, under the banner Mend.
Preaching non-violence to militants
The day Nigeria hit oil
'Blood oil' dripping from Nigeria
They demand that the Delta receive more benefits from its oil, with a fairer share of the wealth invested in roads, schools, hospitals, clean water and power supply.
The Delta is impoverished - in spite of five decades of oil extraction.
But Mend's gangs also run criminal rackets - kidnapping civilians for ransom, and making billions of dollars by stealing crude oil from pipelines.
In the past, they have cut Nigeria's oil production by one-third - causing spikes in the global oil price.
The group was successful, partly because of a sophisticated media strategy.
A shadowy figure, who signed himself "Jomo Gbomo", creates headlines by sending journalists dramatic e-mails - either promising attacks, or denouncing Nigeria's government.
Some security experts believed "Jomo Gbomo" to be Henry Okah, until he was imprisoned, accused of gun-running.
Their authorship today is unclear.
But at present, the Mend web is split.
Nearly all the senior commanders in the field - and their foot soldiers - have accepted an amnesty, and are observing a ceasefire.
One small faction has not. That group is presumed to be behind the Abuja car bombs.
That faction continues to send e-mails to the media - claiming to speak for the whole of Mend - to the irritation of the senior figures on ceasefire.
Authorities have said he left last Tuesday, days before a warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to show up to face charges.
Mr Vorayuth allegedly knocked down the officer while speeding in 2012.
The high-profile case has attracted criticism that the elite enjoy special treatment from Thai authorities.
Singaporean police and aviation authorities did not immediately respond to the BBC's request for comment.
The Associated Press news agency said Singapore airport authorities had confirmed with them that Mr Vorayuth's private plane was in the country as of Tuesday.
A representative at Seletar Airport, which receives private aeroplanes, told the BBC that they were "unable to release any information" and declined to give a reason.
Singapore does not have an extradition agreement with Thailand, but the two countries frequently co-operate in transnational cases.
Mr Vorayuth has repeatedly failed to meet Thai police to face charges of speeding, reckless driving causing death, and fleeing the scene of an accident. Some charges have since expired.
His representatives have said each time that he was either away for business or too ill to meet police.
Thai news outlets quoted police as saying that Mr Vorayuth travelled to Singapore on 25 April, and that they were unable to stop him as this was before the warrant was issued on Friday.
A police spokesman also told The Nation newspaper that they did not put in place a travel ban as the case was about recklessness rather than one of criminal intent.
Thai investigators are now seeking to cancel Mr Vorayuth's passport.
A senior F1 source said Honda was "annoyed" by the development.
It follows the discovery of a loophole and subsequent clarification of the rules by the FIA, the governing body.
McLaren-Honda have been in contact with the FIA about the issue but said it would not comment further for now.
The situation has arisen because of a lack of clarity in the rules concerning permitted engine developments.
The intention was to freeze in-season development, to keep costs down.
Renault and Ferrari had wanted to end the ban in an attempt to close the gap on Mercedes, which had the dominant power-unit in 2014.
Honda has been told by the FIA it must submit its definitive 2015 engine designs by 28 February, whereas Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes can stagger improvements over the season if required.
Because Honda's new engine is racing for the first time 2015, the FIA believes it is "fair and equitable" that Honda complies with the same restrictions as its rivals last year.
Honda feels the ruling puts them at a disadvantage, and will meet the FIA next week to discuss the situation.
A senior figure from one of Honda's rivals said the changes "won't make that much difference".
Honda, which has returned to F1 this season following an absence of six years, has the option of lodging a protest against Ferrari, who discovered the loophole that has led to the change in interpretation of the rules by the FIA.
Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes have so far not responded to requests to comment from BBC Sport.
The season starts with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on 15 March.
Welsh Government buildings and councils observed the silence and the assembly's health and equality committees suspended proceedings for a minute.
Monday's bomb attack at the Manchester Arena killed 22 people and injured a further 64 after a concert by US singer Ariana Grande.
Eight men are in custody following the attack, carried out by Salman Abedi.
Councils across Wales also fell silent as did Swansea University.
Silences were also held in Cardiff, Carmarthen, Swansea, Aberystwyth, Conwy, Prestatyn, Haverfordwest and at the Hay Festival, which started on Thursday.
Proceedings also came to a halt at Mold Law Courts as barristers, solicitors, CPS prosecutors, staff and probation officers were joined by other court users including jury members in the national mark of respect.
Judge Rhys Rowlands said that the minute's silence was to remember those who lost their lives so tragically on Monday night, their families and all those who suffered dreadful injuries.
"Targeting the young, and the very young, is beyond comprehension," he said.
"You have to believe to achieve and we worked hard on getting the boys to believe," he told BBC Scotland after the 1-0 win over Celtic at Hampden.
"Celtic are a young team and there is always that strain on them to succeed, so we talked up their Treble chances.
"I knew it would be difficult for them if we kept the ball because Celtic were the team under pressure."
Kilmarnock goalkeeper Cammy Bell several fine saves and substitute Dieter Van Tornhout, celebrating his birthday, won it for the underdogs with a header on 84 minutes.
"Celtic are a fantastic team and they will go on to to be very successful," added Shiels.
"But they were gone in the last 10 minutes."
We are thinking more about Liam (Kelly) than our triumphalism
Despite Killie lifting the trophy for the first time, Shiels later revealed that the dressing room was "despondent" on hearing the news of midfielder Liam Kelly's father being taken to hospital after collapsing at the end of the game.
For several minutes after the final whistle paramedics treated Kelly senior right beside the Kilmarnock dugout.
Kelly did not join in the celebrations and went up the tunnel.
A sombre Shiels explained: "I am all over the place, I really am.
"It happened right beside this dugout and I am only doing this press conference out of respect to you (the media) so I hope you appreciate that.
"I don't know the medical term, but it is a heart attack, probably. He is away to hospital and the family has gone with him.
"I have gone from so high an emotion to so low an emotion.
"We are not sure of the outcome but he is very seriously ill and that's a tough emotion after going up to one of the best moments of our lives.
"The dressing room is very despondent and I don't know why the man above sends down these messages to us.
"We are thinking more about Liam than our triumphalism."
There was a fright for Kilmarnock in stoppage time when Anthony Stokes went down in the penalty area under a challenge from Michael Nelson.
However, referee Willie Collum chose to book the Celtic striker for simulation, much to the annoyance of Celtic manager Neil Lennon.
Bell was given the man-of-the-match award, having denied Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes with excellent first-half saves as well as making other important interventions.
"It's amazing, I feel very emotional at the moment, brilliant, fantastic," Bell told BBC Scotland immediately after the game.
"It just shows how much commitment the boys had, we did it for the manager.
"Everybody dreams, but we are realistic. I think the boys were fantastic.
"I think we deserved to win, I had a few saves to make, but you are going to have to against Celtic."
The Grade II listed Scenic Railway rollercoaster, badly damaged in an arson attack in 2008, was due to be the centrepiece on 19 June.
The refurbishment of the park - which originally opened in 1920 - has cost £18m and began in September.
The funfair, once home to Europe's largest big wheel, was bought by Thanet council in 2013.
Susan Marsh, honorary secretary of the Dreamland Trust, said the delay in the rollercoaster's completion was "disappointing", but "only a blip".
"We don't have an exact date at the moment [when it will be ready], but it will be as fast as it possibly can be," she said.
"The delay is in respect to the trains and restoration of the trains, because these are quite unique features.
"When the arson attack happened a few years ago they were very badly damaged."
She said she did not know whether the operator would provide a refund to people who have already bought a ticket.
Prosecutors allege some of the girls were befriended and given drink and drugs before being forced to have sex.
Sheffield Crown Court was told one girl was tied to a chair in a bedsit by four of the defendants and made to have sex with men for money.
The offences are said to have taken place in Sheffield between 2005 and 2012. The defendants deny the charges.

Prosecutor Peter Hampton said brothers, Christopher, Shane and Matthew Whiteley, Andre Francis-Edge, Taleb Bapir and Amanda Spencer "in differing ways sexually abused and facilitated the sexual abuse of teenage girls".
He told jurors that Christopher Whiteley and Amanda Spencer had "played a key role in the abuse".
The court was told Christopher Whiteley, who was aged 13 in 2005, would appear "charming" at first before being "aggressive, intimidating, threatening and on occasions violent".
The jury heard that at the time the alleged offending began he had already been convicted of two sexual offences.
Mr Hampton said Miss Spencer had "likely" been the victim of child sexual exploitation but had "turned her dreadful situation on its head and she became a facilitator of sexual abuse herself".
The jury heard Miss Spencer was convicted of 16 child prostitution offences in 2014.
Christopher Whiteley, 23, of Weakland Crescent in Hackenthorpe, Sheffield, is charged with 13 counts of rape, two counts of conspiracy to rape, two child prostitution offences, two counts of sexual assault on a child under 13, one count of theft and one count of sexual assault;
Shane Whiteley, 30, also of Weakland Crescent, is charged with three child prostitution offences and two counts of conspiracy to rape;
Matthew Whiteley, 24, also of Weakland Crescent, is charged with two child prostitution offences, two counts of conspiracy to rape and two counts of sexual activity with a child;
Amanda Spencer, 26, of Canklow Road, Rotherham, is charged with eight counts of aiding and abetting rape and 12 child prostitution offences;
Andre Francis-Edge, of Wheatley Road in Parson Cross, Sheffield is charged with one count of rape, one count of conspiracy to rape and one child prostitution offence;
Taleb Bapir, 39, of Verdon Street, Sheffield, is charged with one count of rape.
Outlining the case in relation to one girl Mr Hampton said she had been befriended by the Whiteley brothers and Mr Francis-Edge after meeting them at Sheffield's former Castle Market.
He said the girl was later taken to a flat in West Street and tied to a chair.
"She was prostituted to men who visited the flat," he said.
"She would tell them she did not want to do it but if she refused she would be subjected to violence by the brothers."
The prosecutor said another girl had been forced to stand on a street corner in Sheffield's red light district by Shane Whiteley as "pay back" for an alleged burglary.
The court heard Miss Spencer was "pimping out" one girl to Christopher Whitely and also took her to an address where she threatened her with violence if she did not have sex with an older man.
Taleb Bapir is said to have paid Miss Spencer £60 to have sex with another 15-year-old girl.
The trial continues.
Victims told IOM that after being detained by people smugglers or militia groups, they were taken to town squares or car parks to be sold.
Migrants with skills like painting or tiling would fetch higher prices, the head of the IOM in Libya told the BBC.
Libya has been in chaos since the 2011 Nato-backed ousting of Muammar Gaddafi.
Hundreds of young sub-Saharan African men have been caught up in the so-called slave markets, according to the IOM report.
A Senegalese migrant, who was not named to protect his identity, said that he had been sold at one such market in the southern Libyan city of Sabha, before being taken to a makeshift prison where more than 100 migrants were being held hostage.
He said that migrants held at the facility were told to call their families, who would be asked for money to pay for their release, and some were beaten while on the phone to allow relatives to hear them being tortured.
He described "dreadful" conditions where migrants were forced to survive on limited food supplies, with those unable to pay either killed or left to starve, the report adds.
Another witness, who was able to raise the funds needed for his release after nine months, was later taken to hospital with severe malnutrition, weighing just 5.5 stone (35 kg).
Women, too, were bought by private Libyan clients and brought to homes where they were forced to be sex slaves, the witness said.
The IOM's chief of mission for Libya, Othman Belbeisi, told the BBC that those sold into slavery found themselves priced according to their abilities.
"Apparently they don't have money and their families cannot pay the ransom, so they are being sold to get at least a minimum benefit from that," he said.
"The price is definitely different depending on your qualifications, for example if you can do painting or tiles or some specialised work then the price gets higher."
An IOM staff member in Niger said they confirmed the reports of auctions in Libya with several other migrants who had escaped.
"They all confirmed the risks of been sold as slaves in squares or garages in Sabha, either by their drivers or by locals who recruit the migrants for daily jobs in town, often in construction.
"Later, instead of paying them, [they] sell their victims to new buyers."
Some migrants, mainly Nigerians, Ghanaians and Gambians are forced to work "as guards in the ransom houses or in the 'market' itself", the IOM employee added.
The organisation has called the emergence of these markets "a disturbing new trend in the already dire situation for migrants in Libya".
In February, the UN children's agency Unicef released a report documenting - in sometimes horrific detail - stories of slavery, violence and sexual abuse experienced by large numbers of vulnerable children travelling from Libya to Italy.
The report, A Deadly Journey for Children, said that almost 26,000 children - most of them unaccompanied - crossed the Mediterranean in 2016, many of them suffering abuse at the hands of smugglers and traffickers.
Tens of thousands of migrants arrived in Italy last year by sea, crossing from North Africa. But before they reach the jumping-off point in Libya, many migrants will have undertaken a perilous journey of up to six days across the Sahara in extreme temperatures.
Reid, 24, beat number two seed Joachim Gerard 7-6 (11-9) 6-4 and will face Stefan Olsson in Sunday's final.
It is Reid's third Grand Slam singles decider of the year, having won the Australian Open in January before losing at Roland Garros last month.
Fellow Briton Jordanne Whiley lost to Aniek van Koot 7-5 6-3 in the last four of the ladies' singles.
Despite beating Gerard to win the Australian Open, Glasgow's Reid had to work hard to win a match that lasted one hour and 40 minutes.
The left-hander led 3-1 in the first set, but was broken three times, allowing Gerard to serve for the set at 5-4 and 6-5.

However, Reid managed to break back both times to set up a tie-break and, after saving three set points, eventually took his third opportunity to win it.
Gerard began to make more errors in the second set and Reid broke twice more and establish a 5-2 lead.
The Belgian, 27, recovered to close to gap to 5-4, but Reid, backed by home support on Court 17, saved a break point when serving for the match a second time and converted his first match point when Gerard mis-hit a backhand.
Wheelchair tennis has been played at Wimbledon since 2001 but this year is the first time men's and women's singles have featured.
Reid said it felt "really special" to make the final and face Olsson, who beat top seed Stephane Houdet 3-6 6-3 6-3.
"It was a long match and the first set was really tight," he told BBC Scotland.
"I didn't feel any pressure as I had a lot of people backing me, with my own squad and members of the public. I tried to enjoy it and make the most of the moment.
"We have been waiting a while to play here and to get the chance to be the first winner, and the first British winner, is amazing. I have got to play my best tennis to win it."
Whiley, the 2015 US Open champion, faced Van Koot on Court 17 immediately after Reid's victory, but could not emulate the Scot's success.
The Ickenham-based right-hander led 5-3 in the first set but her Dutch opponent rallied to win four successive games, while saving a set point, to take the set.
Van Koot then broke Whiley twice at the start of the second set to race into a 3-0 lead and began to exert control over the match, sealing victory when the Briton sent a backhand into the net.
Whiley won the women's wheelchair doubles with Yui Kamiji at Wimbledon in 2014 and 2015 and still has a chance to complete a hat-trick of titles with her Japanese partner this year.

A statement on Bowie's Facebook page also said they were arranging "a private ceremony" in his memory.
They also welcomed the concerts and tributes that have been planned, but pointed out they were not officially endorsed.
Bowie died of cancer on Sunday, aged 69.
According to reports. the singer's body has been privately cremated in New York. In line with his wishes, no family or friends were present at the ceremony, the Daily Mirror reported.
A publicist for the singer told the BBC they were "neither confirming nor denying" the story.
The family statement on Thursday, titled "Thank you", said: "The family of David Bowie is currently making arrangements for a private ceremony celebrating the memory of their beloved husband, father and friend.
"They ask once again that their privacy be respected at this most sensitive of times. We are overwhelmed by and grateful for the love and support shown throughout the world.
"However, it is important to note that while the concerts and tributes planned for the coming weeks are all welcome, none are official memorials organized or endorsed by the family. Just as each and every one of us found something unique in David's music, we welcome everyone's celebration of his life as they see fit."
Bowie had released a new album, Blackstar, just two days before his death, which has been retrospectively interpreted as his epitaph.
Although the record features lyrics such as "Look up here, I'm in heaven," its producer Tony Visconti said the star had written and demo-ed five new songs in recent weeks.
Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Visconti said Bowie had called him about a week before his death and "at that late stage, he was planning the follow-up to Blackstar".
"I was thrilled," said the producer, who worked on key Bowie albums including The Man Who Sold the World, Low and 2013's surprise comeback The Next Day.
"I thought, and he thought, that he'd have a few months, at least. So the end must've been very rapid. I'm not privy to it. I don't know exactly, but he must've taken ill very quickly after that phone call."
Visconti will be one of the musicians performing at a memorial concert for Bowie at New York's Carnegie Hall in March.
The Music of David Bowie had originally been billed as a tribute show, with artists including Cyndi Lauper and The Roots also performing, but the event will now give fans the opportunity to mourn.
Tributes will also be paid at next month's Brit Awards, with a performance celebrating the "extraordinary life and work of one of our greatest icons".
Meanwhile, Blackstar is set to become Bowie's first number one album in the US, as sales surged after news of his death broke on Monday.
The critically acclaimed record is also headed to number one in the UK, while 13 of his previous albums are expected to enter the top 100.

Mr Paisley, founder of the Democratic Unionist Party, died on 12 September.
His funeral was strictly private, limited to immediate family members. However, the Paisleys let it be known they planned a bigger memorial service.
They have now confirmed it will take place at the Ulster Hall on Sunday 19 October. The ceremony will be broadcast live by BBC Northern Ireland.
Due to the number of people wishing to attend, the service will be by invitation only.
In a brief statement, Baroness Eileen Paisley thanked the press for respecting the family's desire for privacy during what she described as the "very sacred days" after her husband's death.
Mr Paisley was one of the best-known and longest-serving figures in British politics.
He was a preacher who founded his own church and later his own political party.
The hardline unionist leader was famous for his opposition to Irish republicanism and any involvement of the Republic of Ireland in Northern Ireland's affairs.
Mr Paisley was both loved and loathed for his outspoken views on politics and religion.
In 2007, after decades of opposing power-sharing agreements, he entered government with his former enemies, Sinn Féin.
Mr Paisley stepped down from politics the following year and delivered his last church sermon in 2011.
He died a fortnight ago at the age of 88 after a long illness.
He was buried in County Down, following the private funeral service at his family home in east Belfast.
Ian Paisley's memorial service will be broadcast live on BBC Northern Ireland on Sunday 19 October from 15:00 BST.
Austria and several Balkan countries have introduced restrictions stranding migrants in Greece.
Mrs Merkel said EU nations had not battled to keep Greece in the euro just to leave it "in the lurch".
She also defended her decision to open German borders to migrants, despite a resulting slump in her popularity.
More than one million people arrived to claim asylum last year, sparking opposition within her governing coalition and a rise in far-right extremism.
Why central Europe says 'No'
EU migration: Crisis in graphics
Migrant stories: The pull of Europe
But speaking on Germany's ARD television, Mrs Merkel said she had no "Plan B" and would not change course, rejecting a proposed limit on migration.
In the coming weeks she faces a major test when voters go to the polls in three German states.
On Greece she said: "Do you seriously believe that all the euro states that last year fought all the way to keep Greece in the eurozone, and we were the strictest, can one year later allow Greece to, in a way, plunge into chaos?"
Greece is the main entry point for migrants arriving in Europe, and was infuriated after a group of countries led by Austria installed controls.
It recalled its ambassador to Austria after the group held talks but did not invite Greece.
A key meeting is scheduled on 7 March between EU members and Turkey and a further summit due later that month.
With more migrants expected to take advantage of warming weather to travel to Europe, it will be a chance for the EU to agree the common response that has so far eluded them.
The money will go to 27 organisations, including Aberlour, Includem, Mentor Scotland and the NSPCC.
The awards are part of next year's Children, Young People and Families Early Intervention and Adult Learning and Empowering Communities Fund.
They were confirmed by Childcare Minister Mark McDonald at Holyrood.
He was speaking during a Scottish government debate on improving the care experience for looked after children.
The funding awards will include an innovative scheme to help looked after children use the law to maintain contact with siblings. and a project that provides therapeutic interventions for looked after children and other vulnerable young people in Glasgow.
Mr McDonald said the money would also help to provide support for vulnerable families that may help prevent more children becoming looked after.
He added: "Over the decades we have learned a lot about what works when it comes to intervening in the lives of children who have been neglected, abused and traumatised.
"We are making real progress through Getting It Right for Every Child, changing culture and practice to prevent children coming into care and to intervene early when they are at risk of becoming looked after.
"This work is vital and must continue."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the SNP conference in October that a "root and branch review" of Scotland's children in care system would be carried out.
The card features a 1970s winter image by the late Phyllis Dodd, artist and wife of former Glasgow School of Art director Douglas Percy Bliss.
It is taken from a series of the art school's Christmas cards collected over 60 years by alumnus, lecturer and World War Two Veteran Conrad McKenna.
The collection survived the devastating fire at the art school earlier this year.
Ms Sturgeon unveiled the card during a visit to the school where she saw the fire damage and artefacts being recovered.
For the first time, this year's card will be made available for purchase by the public through National Galleries of Scotland in time for Christmas 2015.
Ms Sturgeon said: "I am delighted to bring back to life this Christmas card, beautifully designed by Phyllis Dodd and safely kept in Conrad McKenna's impressive collection.
"It is a lovely wintery image that adorned the front of a Christmas card at the art school many years ago.
"Christmas is a time for reflection and this year has been an unforgettable one for all those who have studied, worked or had a connection to this world-leading school of art.
"The fire was a devastating loss, not only for this year's students but for the many who have in some way been inspired or moved by the magic of one of Scotland's greatest artists - Charles Rennie Mackintosh."
She added: "While some artefacts and pieces will sadly never be recovered or replaced, I felt that it was appropriate to demonstrate that there is still hope when some small historical pieces as beautiful as this have survived and can now be enjoyed by many people this Christmas.
"I am sure when it goes on sale to the public next year it will raise vital funds for all of this year's selected charities including the Mackintosh Appeal, so that they can continue to do their great work."
Prof Tom Inns, director of the Glasgow School of Art, said: "We are delighted that the Scottish government has selected an image from Glasgow School of Art Archives and Collections for its 2014 Christmas Card.
"The image is from a very special collection of Christmas cards designed by GSA students and staff which was built up over 60 years by a GSA alumnus and lecturer, Conrad McKenna.
"A unique collection, it provides a snapshot of the creativity of The Glasgow School of Art since the 1940s."
Gerard McSorley, 66, who played Father Todd Unctious in the show, was charged with causing criminal damage to the flower pots at Bunbeg in June.
Originally from Omagh, County Tyrone, McSorley did not attend a hearing in July and an arrest warrant was issued.
A Dungloe District Court judge applied the Probation Act to him on Tuesday.
The court heard that Bank of Ireland manager Marion Boyle called the police to her branch of the bank in Bunbeg following the incident.
"He left after roaring and shouting at Ms Boyle and damaged a flower pot outside the bank," a police inspector said.
The inspector added that McSorley, of Cul Na Toinne, Magheraclogher, Bunbeg, made a full admission and apologised.
A defence solicitor said plastic flower pots were involved and she was not sure of the value, but that McSorley had 40 euros compensation for Bank of Ireland.
She added: "He is very calm and well-liked in Bunbeg."
McSorley has starred in a variety of films including Braveheart, The Constant Gardener and Veronica Guerin.
The England player had drunk two espresso martinis and a glass of champagne less than an hour earlier, Westminster Magistrates' Court heard.
He was said to have had "glazed eyes" and smelt of alcohol when he was arrested after his Mercedes collided with a minicab in London last June.
He denies drinking and driving.
The Wasps fly-half, then playing for Sale Sharks, was breathalysed following the collision shortly after 05:00 BST on 1 June.
He was found to have 67 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath. The legal limit to drive in England and Wales is 35 micrograms.
Giving evidence, the 28-year-old admitted he had been out drinking and eating sushi with other players at Eight Over Eight in Chelsea after an England XV match against Barbarians.
Mr Cipriani, from Raynes Park in south-west London, scored two tries and 10 conversions in the 73-12 win at Twickenham stadium.
The court was told he had two espresso martinis and a vodka cranberry at dinner between 20:30 and midnight, but he said he felt "fine" and was not drunk.
Asked if the meal had lined his stomach, he replied: "Well, we had a lot of rice, some dim sum. I eat a fair bit. We probably had double orders on what we were having."
Afterwards, he went to a nightclub for about 30 minutes before going to a friend's house.
"I had three hours sleep, I woke up and I felt all right," he said.
The player left at 04:00 to have breakfast, which consisted of a fry up, a "small champagne flute" and two more espresso martinis. He then got a cab to his car.
The court heard Mr Cipriani looked "crestfallen" when he was arrested after the collision at 05:15 on Imperial Road in Fulham.
He accused the private hire driver, Muhammad Qasim, of hitting his car, which was written off as a result of the collision.
The court heard he was allegedly "slurring" and driving at speed before the crash.
But he denied speeding and added: "I was not drunk, I felt fine."
When prosecutor Katie Weiss asked him how he felt about the positive results of road-side test, he replied: "I was shocked at the fact that it was over [the limit]."
The player was then asked about the impact a conviction would have on his career.
He replied that it would be difficult for him to get to training and that it depended on the coach as to whether it would stop him playing for England.
Defending, Philip Lucas said the player had been cautioned in the past, for having an "article with intent to damage or destroy property". He said the item had been an egg.
The court was also read a statement from Mr Cipriani's England team-mate, Christian Wade, who confirmed the drinks Mr Cipriani claimed to have had, but said the vodka was consumed at the second venue, not at dinner.
"I know Danny well and he did not seem drunk to me at all. If he had, I would have called him a cab."
Senior District Judge Howard Riddle has reserved judgment until 24 June, telling Mr Cipriani: "I really have got to think about this. That is why I can't give you an answer today - I regret that."
However the Liverpool player is expected to be fit for their tournament opener against Slovakia on 11 June.
Blackburn defender Adam Henley has left Wales' Euro 2016 finals training camp in Portugal with an undisclosed injury.
Walsall striker Tom Bradshaw is ruled out of the tournament in France because of a calf injury, while there is still a doubt over midfielder Joe Ledley.
Ledley hopes to recover from a leg fracture and be named in Wales' Euro squad when it is announced on Tuesday.
The Crystal Palace player injured his leg on May 7 and boss Chris Coleman admits he is "50-50" to make the finals, which start for Wales against Slovakia in Bordeaux.
Danny Ward missed part of Wales' training camp in Portugal as the Liverpool goalkeeper recovered from a knee injury that forced him to miss the end of the season.
Preston goalkeeper Chris Maxwell travelled to the training camp in the Algarve as a precaution but Ward has since rejoined the squad.
Henley, 23, was always an outsider to make the final 23-man squad while Bradshaw - Walsall's 20-goal top scorer - has also left the camp in Portugal, where Coleman's initial 29-man preliminary squad is down to 27.

Keirron Tastagh, 36, and 40-year-old George Shaw are aiming to beat the current record of 28 days for the journey using standard sea kayaks.
They will try to cover up to 50 nautical miles per day whilst wild camping along the route.
The pair, who hold several kayaking records, are raising money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
They said they plan to remain self-sufficient by carrying all their supplies and safety kit with them.
They began their journey by kayaking to Northern Ireland from the Isle of Man and will take a clockwise route starting from Strangford, County Down.
Keirron said they have three main aims.
"Firstly, we want to raise funds for the RNLI which provides an essential service and has a special significance here in the Isle of Man.
"Secondly, we want to use the trip to promote sea safety, and we also hope it will inspire others to challenge themselves and encourage their sense of adventure."
In 2012 the pair set a sea kayaking record during an expedition to the Aleutian Islands in the Bering Sea, completing the furthest paddle west from Dutch Harbor on Unalaska to Herbert Island.
It's the fifth time her face has changed in 63 years and is the first time her portrait has been modified in 17 years.
The new "heads" side of the coin has been designed by Jody Clark who at 33 is the youngest person to design a monarch's profile on the currency.
Coins with the Queen's new image will enter circulation later this year.
Ian Rank-Broadley redesigned the picture of the Queen back in 1998, which means all coins dated since then contain his work.
He told Newsbeat: "It's not an easy job to render the monarch's features as nobody wants to look older than they are.
"If you're approaching your nineties you don't want millions of people to think that you're approaching your nineties."

Ever spotted "IRB" on your pound coin?
Ian revealed they're his initials, tucked underneath the Queen's neck. Newsbeat takes a look at some other secrets of the change in your pocket:
Above the Queen's head it says D G REG F D or DEI GRA REGINA FID. The D G REG has been shortened from 'Dei Gratia Regina' which is Latin for 'By the Grace of God, Queen'.
The F D stands for 'Fidei defensor' which is also a Latin phrase and means 'Defender of the Faith' which reflects her position as Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
It might be an exclusive club to have your design on a coin but the Royal Mint is currently going through competition entries from the public too.
There are a lot more "tails" designs than there are "head" designs. There have been 21 £2 coin tail designs, 23 £1 designs and 50 50p designs (including 29 designs for London 2012 Olympics).
Let's see if you got any right

The Brewers took the lead when Tom Naylor converted Mark Duffy's pass from three yards in the third minute, while John Mousinho twice went close.
There was a long delay at the end of the first half when Posh defender Harry Toffolo was carried off.
Posh rallied after the break and Chris Forrester's flicked header went just wide and Michael Smith also shot wide.
Burton, who surprisingly lost at home to Shrewsbury at the weekend, now have a three-point lead over second-placed Gillingham.
The visitors dominated the first half and after Naylor scored his third goal of the season, Duffy and Mousinho saw shots miss the target.
At the other end, Marcus Maddison's turn and shot was well saved by Jon McLaughlin.
As the half came to a close, Burton came close to a second as Mousinho's header was superbly saved by Posh keeper Ben Alnwick.
Peterborough, who drop to eighth, created better chances in the second half but Nigel Clough's side never looked in any real danger.
It will be the second rugby international to be held at the home of Kilmarnock Football Club
The Scots defeated Tonga 37-12 in Ayrshire in November 2014.
Vern Cotter's men kick-off their Autumn Test Series against Australia at BT Murrayfield on Saturday 12 November, followed by Argentina, also at Murrayfield, the following Saturday.
The 2014 victory over Tonga was the first international to take place on a fully artificial surface.
Glasgow Warriors played at Rugby Park twice last season as a result of flooding to their Scotstoun pitch.
Ayrshire-born Glasgow and Scotland prop Gordon Reid said: "Rugby Park is a fantastic sporting venue. Having played there both for Scotland and Glasgow Warriors, I know there's always a great buzz and atmosphere around the ground on game day.
"Personally, I really enjoy playing on the artificial surfaces which is another bonus of playing at Rugby Park. It makes for a quick game and the skill level is usually higher, so it should prove an exciting game for the fans.
There are fears gonorrhoea is becoming untreatable as antibiotics fail.
The World Health Organization sees developing a vaccine as vital in stopping the global spread of "super-gonorrhoea".
The study of 15,000 young people, published in the Lancet, showed infections were cut by about a third.
About 78 million people pick up the sexually transmitted infection each year, and it can cause infertility.
But the body does not build up resistance no matter how many times someone is infected.
The vaccine, originally developed to stop an outbreak of meningitis B, was given to about a million adolescents in New Zealand between 2004 and 2006.
Researchers at the University of Auckland analysed data from sexual health clinics and found gonorrhoea cases had fallen 31% in those vaccinated.
The bacterium that causes meningitis, Neisseria meningitidis, is a very close relative of the species that causes gonorrhoea - Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
It appears the Men B jab was giving "cross-protection" against gonorrhoea.
Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, one of the researchers, said: "This is the first time a vaccine has shown any protection against gonorrhoea.
"At the moment, the mechanism behind this immune response is unknown, but our findings could inform future vaccine development."
Protection seemed to last about two years.
The disease is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae and spread by unprotected sex.
Symptoms can include a thick green or yellow discharge from sexual organs, pain when urinating and bleeding between periods.
However, of those infected, about one in 10 heterosexual men and more than three-quarters of women and gay men have no easily recognisable symptoms.
Untreated infection can lead to infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease and be passed on to a child during pregnancy.
However, the vaccine in question - known as MeNZB - is no longer available.
Many of its components are also in a new Men B jab - called 4CMenB.
The UK is the only country in the world to be rolling 4CMenB out as a routine childhood immunisation.
Fellow researcher Prof Steven Black, from Cincinnati Children's Hospital in the US, said: "The potential ability of a group B meningococcal vaccine to provide even moderate protection against gonorrhoea would have substantial public health benefits."
The importance of preventing people developing a gonorrhoea infection is of mounting importance as the infection is getting much harder to treat.
Last week, the World Health Organization warned about the global spread of gonorrhoea that could not be treated with antibiotics.
Dr Teodora Wi, from the WHO, said there had even been three cases - in Japan, France and Spain - where the infection was completely untreatable.
She said: "There are high hopes that now there's going to be some cross-protection.
"We are still a long way before we develop a vaccine for gonorrhoea, but we have now some evidence that it is possible."

UKIP have been campaigning hard in the Lincolnshire seat, an area which voted heavily to leave the European Union.
The seat has returned Conservative MPs since it was formed in 1997 - Tory Stephen Phillips had a majority of more than 24,000 votes in 2015.
He resigned in November, citing "irreconcilable policy differences" with the government.
Although he backed leaving the EU, he had since been critical of the government's approach to Brexit.
Mr Phillips won with 56.2% of the vote in 2015, Labour came second with 17.3% with UKIP a close third on 15.7%.
But UKIP has been throwing its weight into the by-election campaign, hoping to bring about a similar upset to last week's Richmond Park by-election, which saw the Lib Dems overturn a 23,000 Conservative majority.
UKIP will be hoping to capitalise on Eurosceptic feeling in Sleaford and North Hykeham, situated in Lincolnshire, west of Boston - which had the highest majority of Brexit voters in Britain.
UKIP's former leader Nigel Farage and his successor Paul Nuttall have been on the campaign trail in the constituency, supporting their candidate Victoria Ayling - a former Conservative who stood for the Tories in Great Grimsby in 2010 - running Labour a close second.
Conservative candidate Dr Caroline Johnson, a consultant paediatrician, stood unsuccessfully for Scunthorpe in 2010, losing to Labour. She has said she is "completely behind the government's plans for Brexit".
Jim Clarke, a refuse driver, is standing for Labour. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has been to Sleaford to give a speech backing Mr Clarke. The party will be hoping for a strong performance after losing its deposit in last week's Richmond Park by-election. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron has been in the constituency backing his candidate, Ross Pepper, an optical assistant.
In all 10 candidates are vying for the seat. The result of the by-election is expected at about 04:00 GMT on Friday.
The full list of candidates is:
The project will involve replacing pieces of the 120-year-old timber at Swanage Pier.
The Swanage Pier Trust, which owns and operates the pier, said a new visitor centre also featured in the plans.
The trust has been allocated £893,800 in Heritage Lottery Funding for the project. It has until November to raise the remaining £900,000.
According to the trust, the Victorian pier - which is one of only 14 remaining timber piers in the country - attracts about 125,000 people each year.
Members of the public have been asked to share their views on the plans, which are on display at the Pierhead Watersports building on Swanage Pier until 8 April. | Images have surfaced online that appear to show the gunman that killed nine people at an African-American church in South Carolina posing with a gun.

The New England Revolution striker, who is 32 on Thursday, returns a self-imposed 10-month international absence.
Kamara withdrew because he felt the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) "lacks respect for players".
Sierra Leone need to secure a victory to qualify for the Nations Cup finals for the first time in 20 years.
That would put them through as Group I winners, leapfrogging their Ivorian opponents, who currently lead them at the top of table by one point.
But a point for Ivory Coast would book their passage to next year's tournament in Gabon.
Kamara's return is a boost for Sierra Leone given his form in MLS.
He has scored nine goals so far this season for New England and his previous club Columbus Crew, where he had an outstanding campaign last year when he was the league's top goalscorer with 22 goals in the regular season and four in the play-offs.
SLFA public relations officer Abu Bakarr Kamara told BBC Sport: "Coach Sellas Tetteh said he has nothing against Kamara and he's welcomed back to the team.
"Kamara is now part of coach Tetteh's plan for the game and he's looking forward to him to giving his best against Ivory Coast."
Meanwhile, Leone Stars will have to play without China-based defender Gibril Sankoh, who has failed to honour Tetteh's invitation.

Costa was shown a second yellow card for his part in the incident, in the 84th minute of Chelsea's 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park, but denied biting Barry.
The Toffees player, who was later sent off, has backed Costa's claim.
The Football Association is awaiting referee Michael Oliver's report before deciding if more action is necessary.

Costa responded to a tackle from Barry by confronting the England international, moving his head towards him and in the direction of his neck.
Blues manager Guus Hiddink said the 27-year-old striker had been "chased a bit in the game" and was provoked by Everton players.
Barry was sent off three minutes after Costa when he was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Cesc Fabregas.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez said the 35-year-old had not complained after the match about his clash with Costa.
Former referee Howard Webb told BBC Radio 5 live: "I'll be amazed if Costa is not punished for his reaction after the second yellow card.
"He fails to leave the field of play, he is aggressive again to Michael Oliver and referees are always told to report that situation. That can lead to another match ban."
But on the suggestion Costa had bitten Barry, he added: "From what I've seen of the footage, it is not sufficient to support a charge for violent conduct retrospectively."
Burnley midfielder Joey Barton has been involved in several controversial incidents during his career and is wary of making too much of Costa's actions.
"It's difficult to get too self-righteous when you're in my position, but what we have to remember is nobody has died," he told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek's programme.
"It's a game of football. You have had two grown men basically square up, no punches have been thrown, nothing serious has happened, both have gone home to their families, one team has lost, one team has won.
"We have to be careful not to get too carried away. We have to remember what makes football football.
"It's that kind of thing, it's goals, it's playing on the edge, it's high intensity, it's high passion.

The website for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) said the shoes had "passed the test of revolutionary years" - but the new black ones cause less odour.
The old canvas shoes have been replaced by combat boots for training but soldiers still wear them off duty.
They came in after the communists won the country's civil war in 1949.
About 180,000 soldiers and officers of the paramilitary branch of the PLA and the Public Security Bureau were asked their views on the new black trainer.
Man Xiangdong, the armed police officer in charge of shoe design, said they were "anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and odour-resistant", according to state-run news agency Xinhua.
Li Zhixiang, a member of the armed police remarked on the army website that the new shoes were light.
"I feel like stepping on spongy cushion while running," he said.
"Our dorm is no longer full of the smell of feet since we got the new shoes last year," he added.
The traditional shoes, in dark green or camouflage, have seen improvements over the years and are still widely used by most PLA units.
The shoes are lightweight and easy to carry, Xinhua reported.
But their disadvantages include not being water-resistant and being so low they allow sand in and leave the ankle unprotected.
In March, China said it would increase its military budget by about 10% in 2015 to help modernise its defence.
The accident, which involved a Vauxhall Astra, happened at about 15:00 on the A85 at St Fillans.
The occupants of the car were uninjured.
The road was closed to allow an investigation into the accident. Police have appealed to the public for any information that could assist them with their inquiries.
The collection includes the infamous Black Album - a dark, funky follow-up to Sign O' The Times, which Prince scrapped a week before release in 1987.
It also features The Gold Experience, which includes his only UK number one, The Most Beautiful Girl In The World.
Prince was a vocal supporter of Jay Z's streaming service before his death.
He pulled most of his back catalogue from services like Spotify and Apple Music last year, and released his final albums Hitnrun Phase One and Hitnrun Phase Two as Tidal exclusives.
Prince said in a statement in August 2015: "After one meeting, it was obvious that Jay Z and the team he has assembled at Tidal recognise and applaud the effort that real musicians put in2 their craft 2 achieve the very best they can at this pivotal time in the music industry.
"Tidal have honoured Us with a non-restrictive arrangement that once again allows Us to continue making art in the fashion We've grown accustomed 2 and We're Extremely grateful 4 their generous support."
The new releases mostly comprise material the star recorded after he ended his contract with Warner Bros in 1996.
As a result, most of the material is far from his best - although some highlights include the jazz-inflected The Rainbow Children and Indigo Nights - which documents the legendary aftershows the star gave during his 21-night residency at London's O2 Arena in 2007.
Triple disc Crystal Ball is also worth investigating, as it features outtakes and "lost" songs from the star's mid-80s heyday, including the expansive, 10-minute title track and the jittering funk of Sexual Suicide.
Prince died on 21 April from an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl, an opioid many times more powerful than heroin.
He was thought to be suffering knee and hip pain, caused by performing in high heels for much of his career.
The star left no will, leaving the court to decide how to divide his estate, which is estimated to be worth more than $27m (£18.5m), plus future royalties and licensing deals.
On Monday, a Minnesota judge fast-tracked the hearing, giving claimants until the end of the week to file sworn statements detailing their claims to have a genetic relationship with Prince that would make them heirs.
The validity of their claims will be determined by a special administrator, who could order DNA testing.
The claimants so far include Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, several half-siblings, and a Colorado prison inmate who says Prince was his father and others.
The next hearing is scheduled for 27 June.
"That was when I felt I needed to get out of England," Ashton told BBC Sport.
The Toulon-bound Saracens wing said "obstacles on both sides" meant he accepted his Test career is over.
"I enjoy it here [Saracens] but I always want to play for England and by going to France it took that out of the picture," he told 5 live's Rugby Show.
His move to Toulon puts the former Northampton and Wigan rugby league winger out of the running for an England recall, with the Rugby Football Union not allowing players based outside the Premiership to be picked.
"It is hard to watch England, although now I have made my decision it is a lot easier," he added.
"The burning desire is always there and always will be, it just changes its path slightly and going to France takes that away."
Ashton has scored 19 tries for England in his 39 caps, the last of which came in the summer of 2014.
He was given a 13-week ban after being found guilty last year of biting Northampton prop Alex Waller, returning to action in December 2016.
It was Ashton's second lengthy suspension after he was banned for 10 weeks in 2015 for eye-gouging, which cost him his place in England head coach Eddie Jones' first Six Nations squad.
"I can't feel hard done by, well obviously I can, but I think that was the easy option," said the prolific try scorer.
"I have put myself in those situations. It can look the way it looks because I have put myself in that place so there is definitely a responsibility on my side.
"Whether I agree with someone telling me I have done something or not is completely different."
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall believes Ashton should be considered for this summer's British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand.
Ashton said: "I think that is just Mark being very nice to me.
"He is always a good guy and always been very supportive of me but I think he was just being very nice."

Since switching to Channel 5, the show has been broadcast twice a year.
Names being mentioned this year include US gossip columnist Perez Hilton, model Calum Best and reality TV judge Michelle Visage.
Even though the line-up is never confirmed until transmission, you can normally have a good guess at who's in it.
So here is the definitive "recipe" for a classic Celebrity Big Brother.
They're used to having their lives micro-managed on TV so getting an already established reality star to go on CBB is usually no trouble.
TOWIE, Made In Chelsea and Geordie Shore have all been well represented in recent years.
The alumni list includes Mario Falcone, Kirk Norcross, Lauren Goodger and Ollie Locke.
This time round, that box could be ticked by Ex On The Beach star Chloe Goodman.
Celebrity Big Brother LOVES getting a Loose Woman panellist to take part, presumably in the knowledge they're a little bit gobby.
Carol McGiffin, Denise Welsh and Coleen Nolan have all taken part before.
This year's representative could be Nadia Sawalha, who had an early stint on the ITV show between 1999 and 2002, before returning to the panel in 2013.
CBB's US stars aren't exactly known for their A-list blockbusters.
Instead, they're best remembered for their retro TV and straight-to-DVD films (although they're often dressed up as the "star billing").
For Series 12, producers got Dustin Diamond who used to play Screech in Saved By The Bell. Diamond is currently facing a different type of confinement - he's been charged with stabbing a man in a bar fight on Christmas Day.
Meanwhile, on CBB series 5 it was Dirk Benedict from The A Team representing the US.
Verne Troyer (Mini-Me in Austin Powers), Michael Madsen and Gary Busey all fitted that bill too.
This year could be filled by Jeremy Jackson, who played Hobie Buchannon in Baywatch.
There's a formula for this one. Normal person gains infamy, notoriety or racks up the column inches in the tabloids.
After weeks in the headlines, Celebrity Big Brother comes around and said person goes into the house.
Deirdre "White Dee" Kelly went on the most recent series after getting everyone's attention on Benefit Street.
And former boxing promoter Kellie Maloney got signed up soon after she revealed herself to be transsexual.
The person to fill those shoes this time could end up being Katie Hopkins, whose comments - on anything from Ebola to overweight people - send Twitter into a tailspin around twice a day.
If you're too young to remember the days of Top Of The Pops and Smash Hits then don't worry because CBB likes to remind you of the stars who were HUGE in the pop world when you were playing with Lego.
Claire Richards from Steps, Abz Love from 5ive, Edele Lynch from B*Witched and Ben Adams from A1 have all taken part.
The rumour this year is that Boyzone's Ronan Keating could be making an appearance with Brian Harvey from East 17 and Kavana also being mentioned.
Putting a glamour model into the Celebrity Big Brother house means certain tabloids can plaster pictures of the model into into their papers for weeks.
Usually, when they're announced the biggest reaction is: "Who? unless you're a regular reader of lads' mags.
Recent signings include Lacey Banghard, Casey Batchelor and Nicola McLean.
The buzz this year is that model Cami Li will be going into the house. She was previously engaged to TOWIE's Kirk Norcross.

But use of the messaging app appears to vary widely between countries.
In Malaysia, more than 50% of those surveyed said they used WhatsApp for news at least once a week. But in the US, the figure was only 3%, and in the UK it was 5%.
The Digital News Report also indicates the Brexit debate has led to growing mistrust of the UK's media.
It said only 43% of respondents declared that the news could be trusted - down from 50% last year - with the BBC in particular criticised for having both a pro-EU bias and failing to expose the "distortions" of the leave campaign.
The research was carried out by the Reuters Institute For The Study of Journalism and covered 34 countries in Europe, the Americas and Asia, in addition to Taiwan and Hong Kong. It was sponsored by the BBC and Google among others.
A total of 71,805 people were questioned by YouGov in January and February to generate its data.
The results indicate that Facebook remains the most popular social media and messaging service for news engagement in all but two countries - Japan and South Korea - where, respectively, YouTube and Kakao Talk dominate.
But it adds that use of Facebook for news had dipped in more than half of all the territories where a year-on-year comparison was possible.
By contrast, sharing news stories and chatting about them appears to be on the rise within private instant messaging apps, and WhatsApp in particular.
According to the report, WhatsApp is now the second most popular social service for news in nine of the 36 locations, and the third most popular platform in a further five countries.
The authors provide several potential explanations for WhatsApp's rise.
Its use of end-to-end encryption means messages can only be seen by their senders and recipients, offering users protection against being monitored by the authorities.
"Some of the biggest growth we've seen is in places like Turkey, where it's positively dangerous for people to express anti-government preferences on open networks like Facebook," explained one of the study's authors, Nic Newman.
"As a result people are using closed groups where they are more confident of expressing their views."
WhatsApp has also benefited from the fact that in much of Latin America and elsewhere mobile networks are offering unlimited data use within the program, so encouraging its use.
Furthermore, several Spanish and Chilean media outlets have embraced the app. Radio stations commonly ask listeners to send in short voice recordings via the service, and local news sites have added share-to-WhatsApp buttons to their pages.
However, Mr Newman said beyond that, it was difficult for the media to take advantage of the app's popularity beyond publishing stories that people want to share.
"You can set up branded areas or groups of people on your own, but it's incredibly clunky and time consuming, and there are few tools to help," he explained.
"And part of WhatsApp's appeal is that users don't get interrupted by brands, making it a very pure form of messaging. That's something [its developers] will really try to hold to."
The report also highlights widespread concerns about so-called "fake news".
It highlights users' suspicions that social media's lack of rules and use of viral algorithms have helped low-quality false stories spread quickly.
But it says there is also strong distrust of the mainstream media, in particular in Asian and central, southern and eastern European countries, where the industry is perceived as being too close to government.
This year's Digital News Report is even more sobering than usual.
Many of the institutions that contribute to democracy in the West are undergoing a crisis of trust. News providers are no exception. UK citizens' trust in news "in general" has fallen by 7% since the Brexit referendum, the report suggests.
That is a worrying drop. Combine it with Reuters' revelation that the proportion of people paying for online news in the UK remains "among the lowest of all countries" surveyed, and alarm bells should ring.
One reason for this could be the BBC, whose dominance in our news ecosystem might mean fewer people feel the need to pay for good information.

For a new generation, the link between high-quality general news and payment for that news might be breaking.
The internet has made general, daily news a very common commodity. With tech giants like Facebook and Google eating ever more of the advertising pie, news providers may find they have to specialise if they are to get audiences to part with cash. And those audiences won't pay for content they don't trust.
Rebuilding that trust, in an era of digital echo chambers and fake news, is going to be tough. But it must be done.
Yahoo News remains the most popular online news brand, in terms of the numbers of people using it at least once a week, across the 36 markets as a whole.
It also ranked as the top online source of online news in the US, Japan and Taiwan.
Its success may have been driven in part by the fact many users said it was better at delivering "amusing and entertaining" content than the competition.
Other findings reported include:
Making money from online news remains problematic.
The study said 84% of respondents had not paid for content in the past year.
However, it highlighted that there had been a "Trump bump" in the US, where several newspapers had attracted hundreds of thousands of new digital subscribers, many of whom have left-wing views and are under 35.
Another development that will be welcomed by the industry is that the use of ad blockers on desktop PCs appears to have stalled and remains low on smartphones, with only 7% of respondents saying they had installed advert removing software on their handset.
Moreover, a "tough love" approach taken by some publishers - whereby they block access to their content if an ad blocker is in use - appears to have convinced many users to at least temporarily suspend the plug-in's use.
The 22-year-old has scored 10 goals in 22 appearances for City since joining the League Two side on loan in January.
"I would hope he wants to stay, we've made him a couple of offers now and the second offer is as good as we can make," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon.
"I'd like to have had that decision back by now," added the City boss.
Stockley made his Bournemouth debut as a 15-year-old in 2009, but last played for the club when they were in League One in March 2012.
He spent much of the following season on loan in the Conference with Woking before spells in Leagues One and Two with Leyton Orient, Portsmouth, Torquay United, Luton Town, Cambridge United and Accrington.
"We'd like to keep him and he's got a lot of work to do," said Tisdale.
"We know him pretty well now as a player and I'd like to think we could make a difference to him, but it's his choice now what happens next."
Abdul Hassib Seddiqi told the BBC's Afghan Service that Mullah Omar had died of health problems at a hospital in Pakistan.
Afghanistan's government says information on his death is "credible".
The latest reports of Mullah Omar's death are being taken more seriously than previous such reports. The Taliban are expected to issue a statement soon.
Sources at the Taliban's two main councils in Quetta and Peshawar in Pakistan told the BBC they were in intensive talks to agree on a replacement for Mullah Omar.
A statement from the office of Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani said that it believed, "based on credible information", that Mullah Omar died in April 2013 in Pakistan.
The Afghan government, elected last year, has embarked on a peace process with the Taliban. In its statement, the government called on "all armed opposition groups to seize the opportunity and join the peace process".
A security official in Pakistan, the country hosting the talks, told AP news agency that the claims of Mullah Omar's death were mere "speculation", designed to destabilise the negotiations.
Pakistan has always denied that Mullah Omar was in the country.
The White House says it believes reports of his death are credible.
Who is Mullah Omar?
Lyse Doucet: What is the future for the Taliban?
The Taliban leaders and members of their religious council (shura) have been locked in talks since Tuesday to elect the new supreme leader.
Who they choose is crucial. The selection of his successor will have a big impact on the war and peace in Afghanistan as well as on the future of the Taliban movement itself. The decision will affect the peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban.
Mullah Omar's death and the choice of his successor will also have an impact on the unity and cohesiveness of the Taliban.
Mullah Omar was the glue that held the movement together since it was launched in 1994. He had become a mythical figure within the group and was "religiously" obeyed by the ranks and files all along.
The selection of a weak person or someone with a questionable legitimacy could result in the fragmentation of the Taliban and possible defections to the Islamic State.
Mullah Omar led the Taliban to victory over rival Afghan militias in the civil war that followed the withdrawal of Soviet troops.
His alliance with al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden prompted the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
Mullah Omar has since been in hiding, with a $10m (£6.4m) US state department bounty on his head.
Over the years, the Taliban have released several messages purported to be from the fugitive leader.
The latest of these statements, from mid-July, expressed support for the peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government.
However, the message was in the form of a text published on a Taliban website, rather than an audio or video recording - fuelling rumours that the leader was dead or incapacitated.
The failure to prove that Mullah Omar was alive was a major factor behind the defection of several senior Taliban commanders to the so-called Islamic State group, according to the BBC's former Kabul correspondent, David Loyn.
On 10 May 2013, he was found guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity.
Born in Huehuetenango in 1926, Efrain Rios Montt joined the army and was a young officer when President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman was deposed in a CIA-backed military coup in 1954.
He rose through the ranks to become a brigadier general and the army's chief of staff in 1970 during the military regime of President General Carlos Manuel Arana Osorio.
He came to power through a coup in March 1982 in the middle of Guatemala's bloody war, in which Marxist rebels battled the military regime.
Civilians - the vast majority of them indigenous Mayans - were caught in the crossfire, and an estimated 200,000 died before a truce was reached in 1996, making the conflict one of Latin America's most violent wars.
Although Gen Rioss Montt was overthrown by his Defence Minister Oscar Humberto Mejia Victores in August 1983, he is considered to have had a major impact on the conflict through the so-called Guns and Beans campaign.
The rebels were offered terms through which they would be fed if they supported the regime, but crushed if they continued fighting.
Prosecutors say that during his 17 months in power, Gen Rios Montt and his chief of military intelligence, Gen Jose Mauricio Rodriguez Sanchez, ordered the deaths of more than 1,700 members of the Ixil Maya ethnic group, whom they suspected were supporting the rebels.
In 2012, Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom apologised to the relatives of the victims of a December 1982 massacre in which Guatemalan soldiers killed more than 200 people in the village of Dos Erres, saying it was a stain on Guatemala's history.
General Rios Montt returned to the political limelight when he ran for president in 2003, despite a constitutional rule that no-one who had overthrown a government could stand for the presidency.
During the campaign, he was accused of orchestrating a violent protest by his supporters against the constitutional ruling.
A journalist died of a heart attack while running away from protesters in what became known as Black Thursday in Guatemala City.
But Gen Rios Montt was cleared of manslaughter charges in 2006, with prosecutors citing a lack of evidence.
He stood for president again in 2006 but was defeated in an election was marred by violence, with more than 22 people connected with political parties killed in the run-up to the vote.
The general returned to public office in 2007 as a member of Congress, which secured him immunity from prosecution over the war crimes allegations.
But that immunity expired with the end of his term in office in January 2012, and within two weeks of leaving office he was summoned to court and formally charged with genocide and crimes against humanity.
Prosecutors called for 75-year sentences to be given to both Gen Rios Montt and his former spy chief.
Although the case was beset with delays, legal loopholes and a temporary suspension, the pre-trial hearing was held in January 2013.
The three-judge tribunal reached its verdict on 10 May, declaring him guilty and sentencing him to 80 years in prison.
Gen Rios Montt did not testify during the court proceedings, but broke his silence to give an impassioned hour-long defence before the three judges retired to consider their verdicts.
On more than one occasion, the 86-year-old apologised for appearing doddery, reminding the judges he was a great-grandfather. But he was crystal clear in claiming that there was no evidence he ordered the extermination of the Ixil ethnic group during his presidency.
"I am innocent," he said. "I never had the intent to destroy any national race, religion, or ethnic group."
He argued that his "mission as head of state was to reclaim order, because Guatemala was in ruins", rather than overseeing the civil war at a local level.
The King's Speech star said he had been unable to find the right voice for the Peruvian bear.
"After a period of denial, we've chosen 'conscious uncoupling'," Firth said in a statement, referencing the term Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin made famous when they separated in March.
Based on the books by Michael Bond, the film is due to be released in November.
"It's been bittersweet to see this delightful creature take shape and come to the sad realisation that he simply doesn't have my voice," Firth told Entertainment Weekly.
"I've had the joy of seeing most of the film and it's going to be quite wonderful. I still feel rather protective of this bear and I'm pestering them all with suggestions for finding a voice worthy of him."
Paul King, the film's director, said the star's exit had been amicable.
"I cannot thank [Firth] enough for his contribution to Paddington," he said.
"We love the voice and we love the bear, but as our young bear came into being, we agreed that the two didn't seem to fit. So, with somewhat heavy hearts we decided to part ways."
King said a replacement would be announced in the coming weeks, promising the new actor would ensure Paddington's "big screen debut is magnificent".
The first trailer for the film was released in March, with a second released last week, however neither feature Firth's voice.
The movie also stars Nicole Kidman as an evil museum taxidermist who has Paddington in her sights, and Julie Walters and Hugh Bonneville as Mr and Mrs Brown - the marmalade-loving bear's adopted parents.
Kodjia, 25, scored 15 goals in 29 games in Ligue 2 last season, helping the club to promotion to the top flight.
The Frenchman collected last term's Ligue 2 Player of the Year award.
"Jonathan has great pace, has scored some fantastic goals, and will fit into the young group we already have," said manager Steve Cotterill.
Kodjia has signed a three-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.

Mr Peake and Nasa astronaut Tim Kopra will venture outside the International Space Station (ISS) on 15 January to replace a failed voltage regulator.
Mr Peake launched on a Russian rocket on 15 December to begin a six-month stay on the orbiting outpost.
This will be the second spacewalk in under three weeks for Mr Kopra, who has flown into space once before, in 2009.
The two Tims will don their spacesuits and exit the US Quest airlock to replace an electrical box known as a Sequential Shunt Unit (SSU), which regulates voltage from the station's solar arrays.
Its failure on 13 November last year compromised one of the station's eight power channels.
The unit is relatively easy to replace and can be removed by undoing one bolt. Once this task is complete, the spacewalkers will deploy cables in advance of new docking ports for US commercial crew vehicles and reinstall a valve that was removed for the relocation of the station's Leonardo module last year.
Mr Peake supported a spacewalk on 21 December last year, in which Mr Kopra and station commander Scott Kelly moved a stalled component known as the "mobile transporter" on the outside of the ISS.
The Briton stayed inside the ISS, helping the Americans don their spacesuits and monitoring their progress for mission control.
This time, he will be the one to get inside the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) - the spacesuit used by US and European astronauts on the station.
The spacewalk is scheduled to start at 12:55 GMT and last for six-and-a-half hours.
Mr Peake and Mr Kopra were both crew members on the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) Soyuz flight that arrived at the ISS on 15 December. As such, they have trained closely with each other.
Mr Peake was selected by the European Space Agency in 2009, and is the first British astronaut to fly into space since Helen Sharman spent a week on the Soviet space station Mir in May 1991. Her flight was privately funded, under a venture known as Project Juno.
The UK government has traditionally been opposed to human spaceflight, which has led other Britons to fly into space with Nasa - wearing the American, rather than UK flag on their uniforms.
Michael Foale, who hails from Louth in Lincolnshire, became the first British-born person to carry out a spacewalk when he stepped outside the shuttle Discovery on 9 February 1995.
Mr Foale flew on six Nasa shuttle missions, with extended stays on both Mir and the ISS. He has dual citizenship on account of his American-born mother.
Piers Sellers, who was born in Crowborough, flew on three space shuttle missions between 2002 and 2010. Over the course of six spacewalks, he accumulated 41 hours and 10 minutes of "extra-vehicular activity" time - the most of any UK-born astronaut.
Another UK-born Nasa astronaut, Nicholas Patrick, travelled into orbit on the Discovery shuttle in 2006.

Other projects being funded by the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) will examine the lives of sea trout, salmon and dolphins.
The centre is run by Swedish power company Vattenfall.
The three million euro (£2.6m) offshore wind research programme is thought to be the largest of its kind.
Half the money is being provided by the European Union.
Vattenfall, which is wholly owned by the Swedish government, said the programme would also put Scotland at the forefront of research and development in the industry.
The first projects to receive funding include:
Adam Ezzamel, the centre's project director, said: "The announcement of these successful projects, including three in Scotland, is an exciting one with each having the potential to unlock fascinating new insights into the offshore wind environment and determine influencing environmental factors."
Mr Ezzamel said the EOWDC's offshore wind test facility offered an "unmissable opportunity" for scientists and researchers.
He added: "We are pleased to be facilitating such innovative research in the north-east which will bring considerable benefits to the region as well as the industry and policy-making."
Almost 100 applications from across the UK and overseas were submitted for the research programme with a shortlist of 16 selected by a specialist scientific panel.
The panel hopes to make a further funding announcement soon.
WWF Scotland said: "Offshore wind is a critical technology in the fight against climate change, helping to reduce emissions, keep the lights on and create thousands of jobs across the UK and Scotland.
"This new package of research and development projects will enrich our understanding of the environmental and economic effects of offshore wind operating in our waters, helping ensure any future development maximises the benefits."
The new facility will include a GP practice and out-of-hours service, specialist clinics, a minor injuries unit and a base for community staff.
Mr Drakeford said it would help to provide care closer to people's homes.
Hywel Dda health board said the opportunities for integrated working would ensure "value for money".
Eirwyn Harries, chair of Cardigan Hospital League of Friends, said it was a "step forward" and hoped the long-discussed new centre would now open in 2019.
The Food Standards Agency says people should use reusable bags separately - reserving one solely for raw meat.
Surveys of supermarkets and smaller shops suggest the bug is sometimes found on the outside of packaging.
Though instances are rare, infections can cause serious diarrhoea and lead to 100 deaths each year.
Campylobacter is the most common cause of food poisoning in the UK, affecting an estimated 280,000 people a year.
The bacteria are most frequently found on contaminated poultry but can be present on other meat.
Most people are ill for just a few days, but in some cases infections can be fatal - children under five and older people are at highest risk.
Food Standards Agency (FSA) tests this year suggest 59% of fresh shop-bought chickens could carry the bug.
And some 4% were found to harbour campylobacter on packaging.
Later this week, the agency plans to publish a list of supermarkets and smaller shops found to sell products with contaminated packaging and meat.
The FSA says: "It is extremely unlikely that someone could become ill from contact with raw poultry packaging alone.
"Our advice on packing raw meat and fish is pack raw meat and fish separately from ready-to-eat foods, in separate bags.
"If your bags are reusable, keep one or two to use just for raw meat and fish, and do not use them to carry ready-to-eat foods.
"Reusable bags and single-use carrier bags should be disposed of if there has been any spillage of raw meat juices, even if the bag looks clean."
The FSA is conducting a year-long survey of campylobacter contamination.

A statement cited "safeguarding security and public order" as the reason for calling off the event.
The order means anyone taking part risks facing intervention by the security forces.
Organisers of the march have denounced the ban as a "flagrant violation of the constitution and the law".
They said the city authorities were failing in their duty to protect the rights of citizens to exercise their rights, and that they would launch legal action.
Security in the city is already tight after bombings in recent months blamed on Islamic State (IS) and Kurdish militants.
Earlier this week, an ultra-nationalist youth group, the Alperen Hearths, called those planning to participate in the gay pride event immoral and said it would "stop the march" if it went ahead.
Last year, Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannon at marchers in an attempt to disperse those taking part.
Organisers said permission for last year's event had been refused because it coincided with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, as did this year's planned date of 26 June.
Twelve previous gay pride events had taken place annually in Istanbul with little trouble reported.
Unlike in many Arab countries, homosexuality is not illegal in Turkey but analysts say homophobia remains widespread.
The parliamentarians felt "anger and disappointment about the placing of the recording device", wrote Iain Wright, chair of the business select committee.
The incident allegedly occurred after a spot-check of the warehouse.
Mr Ashley had earlier suggested that one of the MPs had planted the device herself.
The committee has been investigating working practices at the warehouse and wanted to see if improvements had been made there.
The MPs gave notice on Monday morning that they would visit the Derbyshire site as part of a previous agreement for an unannounced spot-check.
After a three-hour tour, they went to a room for a private meeting and were served refreshments including a plate of sandwiches.
Anna Turley, MP for Redcar, said the lady who had served the sandwiches also left a recording device in the room.
Mr Wright wrote: "I appreciate the time taken by several members of staff to show us round the warehouse and answer questions.
"However, I also have to express our anger and disappointment at the placing of a recording device in a room in which we had requested to hold a brief and private meeting at the end of the visit."
He said the committee wanted an explanation of "how and why the camera came to be placed in the room, who authorised its placing and what steps you have taken as a result".
Mr Wright added that he assumed Mr Ashley's suggestion that one of the MPs had planted the device was "a spur of the moment misjudgement".
Sports Direct declined to comment on the MPs' letter, but in a statement yesterday said: "The [Sports Direct] board is disappointed that reporting of a possible recording device (the veracity of which has yet to be determined) has overshadowed the truly important issues that this visit should have focused on - the true working conditions and worker satisfaction at Shirebrook.
"The board would like to make it clear that it did not authorise or have any knowledge of the possible recording device."
Second-half goals by Christian Bubalovic and Edward Herrera - against the run of play - stunned the home crowd.
Conor Sammon's header gave Hearts hope, but they could not find a leveller.
Earlier, Prince Buaben missed a first-half penalty while Jamie Walker and Sam Nicholson both hit the woodwork.
Hearts had approached the game full of confidence after drawing the away leg 0-0 last week, not least because Birkirkara had won only two of their previous 23 ties in Europe.
The Maltese team were more adventurous than in their performance at home, though, and their ability to break swiftly and sharply on the counter carried them through to face Krasnodar of Russia in the third qualifying round.

Hearts were frustrated by their own shortcomings. Despite periods of possession, they were ragged in their passing and could not use their width to good effect against well-organised opponents.
There were early scares, with the goalkeeper Jack Hamilton having to block from close range. Hearts knew patience would be required, but wastefulness was their undoing.
Nicholson was the home side's brightest player, and he won a penalty kick when he skipped into the box and was brought down by Cain Attard.
As Buaben prepared to take the spot kick, Birkirkara's manager Josef Mansueto shouted to his players that it would go to the goalkeeper's left and Miroslav Kopric duly heeded the advice, diving to that side to save a weak effort.
Hearts were unable to create openings, and even when they did they fell short. Walker met a Callum Paterson cross with an acrobatic volley that sent the ball over his shoulder but onto the underside of the bar.
The same fate befell Nicholson after the break, when he skipped infield on the left and sent a shot crashing onto the bar, with the ball bouncing clear. By then, though, Hearts were behind.
Bubalovic was calm and ruthless when the ball dropped to him inside the penalty area after a free-kick wasn't cleared by the Hearts defence, and he struck a shot high and hard into the corner of the net.
Anxiety now hampered Hearts' play as they urgently tried to rescue the tie, and Arnaud Djoum lacked composure as he steered the rebound over after Juanma's shot was blocked by Kopric.
Birkirkara took advantage of that mindset. When one attack broke down, the visitors moved the ball upfield and out to Herrera, who ghosted in from the right of the penalty area and prodded a shot through Hamilton's legs.
Hearts eventually pulled a goal back when Sammon headed Djoum's cross into the net, but the home side had left themselves too much to do.
"America's force of the future," Mr Carter said, must be able to benefit from the "broadest possible pool of talent".
The move will lead to some 220,000 openings to women, he said.
Mr Carter is to give the armed services 30 days to submit plans to make the change. The US military has been easing restrictions over the past three years.
A ban on women serving in combat roles was lifted in 2013 but the military was given until 2016 to make the case for specific posts they thought should remain closed.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Joseph Dunford, had argued the Marine Corps should be allowed to keep women out of certain roles, citing studies showing that mixed-gender units are not as effective as all-male ones.
But Mr Carter rejected the argument. "There will be no exceptions," he said.
"As long as they qualify and meet the standards, women will now be able to contribute to our mission in ways they could not before.
"They'll be allowed to drive tanks, fire mortars, lead infantry soldiers into combat."
Nancy Duff Campbell of the National Women's Law Center said it was a "thrilling day for women serving in the military, and for women across the country".
It comes as a fifth former player made claims of of sexual abuse against ex-Crewe youth team coach Barry Bennell.
Crewe said they were determined a thorough investigation took place at the earliest opportunity.
Bennell, now 62, has served three jail sentences for child sex offences, including one last year.
In a statement, Crewe Alexandra said it "believes an independent review, to be conducted via the appointment of external legal counsel, is the correct way forward in the circumstances".

Abuse claims: What has happened so far?
Who is football coach Barry Bennell?
Andy Woodward was the first player to go public with his claims last week. The former Bury and Sheffield United player says he was abused while at Crewe Alexandra from the age of 11 to 15.
After Mr Woodward appeared on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme, Steve Walters, Chris Unsworth and Jason Dunford all came forward with their own allegations against Mr Bennell - none of which had formed part of any previous court case.
On Sunday Anthony Hughes claimed Bennell abused him on a sofa while he was at Crewe Alexandra's centre of excellence.
He told the Sunday Mirror Bennell would make children in the club's junior team strip to their shorts and show them pornography.
He told the paper: "He is a beast - and it's vital the truth now comes out."
More than 100 calls have been received by a special helpline set up by the NSPCC for people who wanted to talk about abuse at football clubs.
The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) told BBC Radio 5 live that more than 20 of its members have been in contact about allegations of historical child sexual abuse.
Michael Bennett, head of player welfare at the PFA said: "The floodgates have been opened by those guys earlier this week and the numbers are increasing as we speak."
Police forces in Hampshire, Cheshire, Northumbria and London have opened investigations into historical child sexual abuse claims in football.
Senior figures in both the police and the FA have said they expect more allegations to surface.
Chief Constable Simon Bailey, of the National Police Chiefs' Council, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Saturday: "We are receiving reports of abuse in all sorts of different institutions.
"I am not in the least bit surprised that we are now seeing the lid lifted on exploitation within the world of football and I suspect there will be other sporting governing bodies who will come forward and who will identify the fact that they have similar problems."
Across the sporting industry, Operation Hydrant, the national police hub coordinating historical sex abuse claims, said it is investigating seventeen sports people and allegations of abuse at 24 sporting venues.
The Premier League said it was concerned by the allegations and urged those with information to come forward.
The PFA said it is ready to support anyone who comes forward with its nationwide network of counsellors and therapists.
Former Wales international Robbie Savage, who played for Crewe from 1994-97, also raised fears there could be hundreds of victims of sexual abuse within football.
The BBC football pundit was scouted by Bennell at the age of 11 but told the Mirror he was "one of the lucky ones" who was not abused by the coach.
"These boys were at an age when all they wanted in the world was to be a footballer," said Savage, who called for a full inquiry with "total transparency".
"If they were abused, maybe they were simply too scared to tell someone or they were terrified it was their football career over."
A former director of Crewe Alexandra has said the club was aware in the late 1980s of allegations that Bennell had sexually abused a junior footballer.
Hamilton Smith told the Guardian on Saturday that senior officials had discussed sacking Bennell but decided there was not enough evidence.
Mr Smith said talks had been convened between senior officials at Crewe Alexandra, including then-chairman Norman Rowlinson, who died in 2006.
Despite the discussions, the paper says Bennell was allowed to stay in his position as youth coach.
Mr Smith said a decision was made that Bennell was not to be left alone with boys and he was stopped from having them stay overnight at his home.
Crewe did not comment on the latest allegations, but previously said they were "making inquiries". The English League Two club has also said it is "reflecting from within".
Crewe's director of football Dario Gradi has said the first he knew of Bennell's crimes was in 1994.
According to the Guardian, Mr Smith retained concerns about the set-up at Crewe after leaving the club.
The NSPCC has set up a helpline for people affected by sexual abuse at football clubs, supported by the FA. It is available 24 hours a day on 0800 023 2642
The four bombs on three Tubes and a bus killed 52 and left many more with life-changing injuries.
There was no longer any doubt, al-Qaeda's brand of violent extremism was capable of hitting the UK.
The tenth anniversary of those attacks is now a week away. So are we safer or under a greater threat?
The official government position, for headline purposes, is that there is a "severe" threat from international terrorism, which means security chiefs have concluded an attack is highly likely.
This conclusion is not an exercise of sticking a finger in the air and seeing which way the wind blows. It is based on some cold, hard calculations of what the intelligence picture suggests is going on, both what we can see in the public and what we can't.
And that is why London sees a major counter-terrorism exercise this week, codenamed Operation Strong Tower and designed to test to the limit how the police and other emergency services would respond should the worst come to pass.
Over the last decade, the nature of threat from extremist violence has changed.
The 7/7 attacks were directed at arms length by al-Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
A number of other plots during the same period followed the same trajectory, including the foiled attempt to take liquid-based bombs onto transatlantic airliners in 2006.
But as the US tightened the noose around al-Qaeda's leadership, particularly after it began firing missiles from drones, the would-be jihadists briefly shifted attention to the Horn of Africa.
Deprived of an easy route to one hoped-for land of jihad, British recruits tried to get to Somalia to join al-Shabab. One of those would-be recruits was Michael Adebolajo, one of the two men who killed Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich.
Aside from that attack, the number of major plots had appeared to be falling as al-Qaeda increasingly looked a spent force and al-Shabab too weak and remote to take up its banner.
But the implosion of three countries in the wake of the Arab Spring has changed things yet again. First Libya, then Syria and Iraq. In the remains of each nation, the jihadist cause has found a new lease of life.
The group that calls itself Islamic State has projected a utopian image of a resurrected caliphate and, simultaneously, presented its sectarian ultra-violence as a solution to Sunni Muslims who have suffered in both Iraq and Syria.
That toxic revolutionary mix, projected by young followers through social media, and further wrapped up in an arcane prophesy that the "end times" will begin in a Syrian town, has been its trump card.
Sceptics say all of this poses no threat to us in the UK - but there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
If Tunisia's events were not clear enough, France, Australia, Canada and Belgium have all seen acts of extreme violence that were either directly or indirectly inspired by the ideology and aims of ISIS.
The UK has not suffered an act of ISIS-inspired violence on its streets - but there have been at least two major counter-terrorism operations which can be directly linked to conspirators receiving directions or guidance from jihadists active in the Syrian conflict.
More than 330 people were arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences in the UK in the year to April 2015 - a third more than the previous year.
Crucially, the average age of those being arrested has been falling, with almost a fifth under 20.
In other words, given that the self-proclaimed caliphate isn't going away anytime soon, this is shaping up to be an enduring security problem.
While the jihadist threat persists, the UK also runs the risk of more violence from far-right extremists. One of the most serious acts of terrorism since 7/7 came from a neo-Nazi who tried to bomb three West Midlands mosques and murdered an elderly Muslim man as he returned home from prayers.
That is why London's massive counter-terrorism training exercise over Tuesday and Wednesday is important to the security services.
The emergency services believe they are in a far better place to deal with a repeat of 7/7 - their secure communications systems now all talk to each other, for a start.
But they don't know what's coming around the corner.
Operation Strong Tower, which is focused on a "marauding" attack, such as the shootings in Mumbai or Paris, is the latest and most complex event to date - and it won't be the last.

The Lionesses lost 2-1 to Japan in their semi-final after defender Bassett, 31, scored right at the end.
"I couldn't breathe, my heart was out my chest and I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me," she said.
She has felt so emotional that she has been unable to speak to her parents since the goal.
But head coach Mark Sampson said that Bassett - who he described as a "hero" - will start in England's third-place play-off against Germany in Edmonton on Saturday, which kicks off at 21:00 BST.
"I would prefer [skipper] Steph Houghton and Mark to be heroes for lifting the World Cup, I'd prefer no-one to know my name to be honest," Bassett told BBC Sport.
The Notts County defender briefly thought the ball had not crossed the line after hitting the underside of the bar, at the end of what was England's first Women's World Cup semi-final.
"My intention was to get a touch on the ball, and watching it hit the crossbar, there was a point when Steph cleared it that I thought maybe it hadn't gone in," she said.
"But the referee's watch vibrated and gave it as a goal.
"After the game, I was heartbroken, devastated, just uncontrollable, emotional. For those people who know me and call me a swinging brick and say I lack emotion, nine out of 10 times I'd agree with that, but something took over and I was out of control.
"I wanted to get out of there. I wanted to cry and be on my own and bury my head because one thing we have shown [in this tournament] is we will keep fighting and won't give up.
"But we didn't have time to show that and pull it back. It was so, so cruel."
The former Birmingham and Chelsea centre-back added: "It was all a blur to be honest. I looked around and saw my boyfriend, and that just set me off again.

"I haven't been able to speak to my mum and dad over FaceTime yet because they will just set me off crying. I've messaged them and I know they are so proud but I think about that moment and would do anything to change it.
"The hardest thing is looking at other people who committed themselves to this team.
"Everyone believed for the first time in a long time that England could do it."
Bassett said she has been inundated with messages of support, with #proudofbassett trending on Twitter following the match.
She paid tribute to her team-mates, Sampson and his staff, saying: "I know the long hours Mark's staff have worked and the commitment they have given to this dream and to us as players. They have been there for me so I want to thank them."
Bassett tells BBC Radio 5 live how she wishes no-one knew her name.
In France, Le Figaro's managing editor Alexis Brezet uses a front-page editorial to call on the EU not only to reform - a common European media theme in recent days - but to rebuild itself through a new treaty that must be ratified by referendums in all member states.
He warns France and Germany to avoid the "temptation to try to patch things up".
They should offer real protection against the pressures of globalisation, from "multicultural naivety, dogmatic free trade, and abstract universalism" to "uncontrolled immigration, persistent unemployment, and a squeezed middle class".
The alternative is to accept that the people will "return to the only protection worthy of the name - that of the nation".
He acknowledges the risk of new treaty referendums, but insists that "Europe will not change without the people, and we cannot make them happy against their will".
The idea of a specific French referendum plays out in other papers, with former prime minister and conservative Republican party presidential hopeful Alain Juppe firmly ruling it out as "irresponsible".
"France has no future outside the EU," he tells Le Monde.
The paper's Benoit Hopquin "dives into the France of 'Frexit'", and warns that the contrast between prosperous, metropolitan areas and these "almost nameless towns... with their idling factories and children who've left, never to return", is "similar to the divide in Britain".
Liberation interviews the Republicans' deputy chairman, Laurent Wauquiez, who applauds Brexit as a chance to "consolidate the Europe Union around a core of seven to twelve countries that share a common vision... and are ready to harmonise their social and fiscal policies".
He thinks EU leaders should acknowledge that a "similar referendum would have gone the same way in any European country, and in France by perhaps a larger margin".
Like Figaro's Alexis Brezet, he recalls that the EU "hasn't won a single referendum in 20 years" and needs to move away from neo-liberal economic policies, but in the form of a "two-tier Europe".
German commentators agree that the EU's distance from ordinary voters is the issue, rather than the particular attitudes of the British.
Die Welt's publisher, Stefan Aust, has no doubt that the vote was a "come-uppance for Brussels, whose policies are ever more impenetrable, and for the high-handedness of a bureaucracy whose decision-making process are increasingly removed from the public".
He thinks Britain may have done the EU a favour in revealing the "great project to have been a great illusion, a colourful soap bubble" and in forcing it to decide on whether to accept differences among member-states rather than "fake a consensus".
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung's Brussels economics correspondent Werner Mussler demands the resignation of EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker for pledging deeper currency union, complaining that his "anti-British passions have made him forget that that the need for 'more Europe' is the last thing that should be learnt from the British referendum".
Elke Schmitter of influential news magazine Der Spiegel looks on the bright side, saying that at least there is "clarity now on what it means to be an EU member or not".
Georg Loewisch in Tageszeitung agrees that any "New Deal for Europe" must bind its members closer together in a common identity, and that its terms cannot be negotiable.
Federico Fubini in Italy's Corriere Della Sera sees the British vote as indicative of a new fault line in Europe "not between left and right... but rather between nationalists and internationalists", those who want to deal with global problems by "raising the drawbridge... or working together for prosperity, culture and our open society".
Guido Gentili in the business paper Il Sole 24 Ore does not envy European leaders their task of "reigniting enthusiasm" for an EU whose "wrong or failed answers are at the root of this risky transition".
Like his peers elsewhere in Europe, he calls for a "genuine debate based on the disenchantment of European citizens, their questions and their concerns - primarily growth, employment and immigration".
Not all commentators are as understanding of the Brexit mentality. A searing piece in Austria's Der Standard by London-based German journalist Sebastian Borger uses a topical footballing analogy.
"No football team, no matter how bad its current form, can afford a moaning player who won't contribute, and insists on a transfer but won't leave the bench," Borger writes. "The player has to be got rid of".
In Vienna's Die Presse, Wolfgang Boehm is more understanding of the desire for a sense of "safety and being protected", but fears it is ultimately unrealistic.
"The dream of total sovereignty in a neatly arranged state is not possible anymore," he says. "The British are dreaming of going back to the 18th Century."
Further down the Danube, legal analyst Tamas Adany does not expect Britain to receive much sympathy in the eventual negotiations.
He tells Hungarian conservative daily Magyar Hirlap that EU states "don't want an easy or comfortable divorce, to avoid making the idea of leaving attractive to any other member state".
Czech commentator Ondrej Stindl does not defend the EU elite, but does not spare the "ordinary people" either.
"Perhaps the problem is that both sides are in many ways alike - irrational, self-absorbed, with a tendency to groupthink, conformism, and hysteria," he says on the Echo24 news site.
There is also deep concern in the media of Eastern and Central Europe at the increase in xenophobia in Britain, aimed in particular at Polish migrants.
Influential Polish website NaTemat is typical in reacting with shock to anti-Polish leaflets and graffiti, describing them as "just the tip of the iceberg" of a wave of hatred "hitting all migrants".
Czech newspaper Tyden also covers the graffiti and attacks, and raises fears that the referendum will "encourage extremist elements in society".

It is understood Jim Campbell was walking from Fuerteventura airport to his holiday accommodation on Wednesday night when the accident happened.
The 40-year-old from Downpatrick had landed on the island earlier in the day with friends.
The Foreign Office said it was providing support to his family.
The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust, which helps bereaved families repatriating the bodies of loved ones who have died abroad, has also been supporting the Campbell family.
Colin Bell, who runs the charity, said: "Proceedings have started to bring him home as soon as possible."
The home side took the lead just after the half-hour mark when former Wycombe striker Gozie Ugwu headed home Frazer Shaw's cross for his seventh goal from the last four games.
The Cards' lead did not last long as - three minutes later - Bromley were awarded a penalty for a foul and, although goalkeeper Brandon Hall guessed the right way, Blair Turgott slotted the ball home to level the scores at the break.
But man-of-the-match Saraiva unleashed an unstoppable 25-yard drive into the top-right corner to clinch maximum points for Garry Hill's hosts with 10 minutes remaining.

Mark Crabtree, 42, from Hertfordshire, was killed on the southbound carriageway just before 10:00 GMT on Sunday, between the A40 for Raglan and the A472 for Usk.
Gwent Police said Mr Crabtree died at the scene.
The closure has now taken effect but the unit will remain open as usual from Monday to Friday for antenatal and postnatal care.
NHS Tayside said the unit, which supports about 12 births a month, will resume births in September.
Justine Craig, head of midwifery for NHS Tayside, said the move had been a "difficult decision."
She said: "We know that this may be upsetting for some women who had planned to give birth at Montrose, however, we must provide a maternity service with appropriately-skilled staff which is safe for women and staff."
She added: "Our Montrose maternity team and other support staff will be working out of the community maternity unit at Arbroath Infirmary, alongside the Arbroath maternity team, and this will ensure continuity of care."
Ms Craig said that a "full range of options" of places of birth were available to women, including Arbroath community midwifery unit, Dundee midwifery unit, home birth or the unit in Ninewells Hospital.
She said: "Women who were due to give birth at Montrose are being contacted and advised about the new arrangements and will be able to discuss birth options with an Angus community midwife, where further information will be provided and any concerns discussed."
Peter Morgan's play imagines private meetings between the monarch and her prime ministers over her 60-year reign.
Variety critic Marilyn Stasio wrote: "Maybe she'll add a Tony to her collection for her triumphant return to Buckingham Palace in The Audience."
Ben Brantley of the New York Times described Dame Helen as "smashing".
Dame Helen won the best actress prize at both the Olivier and Evening Standard awards when she first played the role in London two years ago.
The play, directed by Stephen Daldry and written by Peter Morgan, also features political figures such as Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron.
It also sees the Queen transform from a young, inexperienced monarch to steely figurehead.
The Huffington Post's theatre critic, Michael Glitz, wrote: "None of it would matter without Mirren... It's hard to imagine anyone doing it better.
"Mirren is marvellous, letting the few moments of emotional depth pass by without making too much of them."
The New York Post's Elisabeth Vincentelli concurred, writing: "To the surprise of exactly no one, Helen Mirren is absolutely terrific as Queen Elizabeth II in The Audience.
"The physical transformation itself is a lot of fun - how can you not see something that happens right in front of your eyes?!
"But it pales compared with the way Mirren switches roles from an established, ageing ruler to a young woman - not yet crowned - who holds her own against a colossal statesman swinging his weight around."
Time Out New York's David Cote also heaped praise on the British actress, saying she "transforms brilliantly... from the grandmotherly 69-year-old comforting an insecure John Major... to the 25-year-old heir apparent nervously schooled by Winston Churchill."
Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune described the production as a "coup de theatre". "Watching Mirren seem to peel off years and cares," he wrote, "is nothing short of a dazzling experience".
David Rooney, writing in The Hollywood Reporter, observed: "Morgan's take on the Queen in these fictionalised meetings is daubed in skewed sentiment, but Mirren sells it with impeccable finesse."
The production marks Dame Helen's third Broadway outing, following performances in Turgenev's A Month in the Country and Strindberg's Dance of Death, opposite Sir Ian McKellen. Both productions earned the actress Tony nominations.
The Audience will return to London's West End next month, in an updated version starring Kristin Scott Thomas.
Adams had last been on the losing side when Portsmouth defeated former club Northampton on 19 December last year.
His unbeaten run was the longest in the Football League since Scunthorpe's Eddie Nolan went 33 games in 2013-14.
Arsenal's Sol Campbell holds the record in the Premier League, playing 56 games between defeats.
"It's mad that I haven't lost a game of football for so long," 30-year-old Adams said earlier in the week. "The lads keep asking me, 'How many is it now?'
He played 17 league games last season after Northampton bounced back from their loss against Pompey to win promotion to League One.
This season he had made 15 appearances for Carlisle before Saturday's game, scoring once.
Boss Keith Curle predicted that his side would be "dangerous animal" after their first league reverse of the season.
He told BBC Cumbria: "We've had a phenomenal start to the season - 16 games, undefeated in 16. Now we start again."
The 33-year-old scored a crucial 63 in the second innings of the five-wicket victory over Nottinghamshire on Friday, following a first-innings' duck.
England opener Compton had a two-month break from the game earlier this summer in order to "refresh and recharge".
"I was proud of the way I managed to hold things together," he said.
Chasing 235 to win at Trent Bridge, Compton, batting at number three, helped Middlesex from 0-1 to 146-5 in their second innings before John Simpson and James Franklin put on a match-winning partnership of 89.
"As someone who prides myself on tough situations, I wanted to make sure I was on it," Compton told BBC Radio London.
"I haven't been fully in the moment at times this season. I knew how important it was that we stayed solid.
"I can't say enough for how we are growing as a team. There was a calmness and a confidence with how we went about it."
After returning to cricket in early August, Compton hit 131 in his second game back for Middlesex and says his confidence with the bat has returned.
"I went through a period where I wasn't hitting the ball very well," he said.
"There have been a few technical things which haven't helped.
"I felt I moved well in this game and my head led the process well. I felt like I got into strong positions and confidence comes with it."
Middlesex hold a one-point lead over Yorkshire heading into the last two games, with the two sides meeting at Lord's, starting on 20 September, in the final round of matches.
"I felt a bit of pressure because I wanted to get us over the line against Notts," Compton said.
"The intent was to make sure we found a way to do it, because this is the time.
"You don't get too many opportunities to be a county player playing for the title as this stage of the season. It is a fantastic place to be."
Solicitors' associations warn that cutting the number of contracts from 1,600 to 527 will lead to inadequate access to legal advice for defendants.
But judges in London's High Court ruled the plans were not legally flawed.
The Ministry of Justice said savings had to be made in the legal aid system.
In the High Court on Wednesday, Lord Justice Laws and Mr Justice Cranston rejected all grounds of challenge to the Ministry of Justice proposals.
But they gave the solicitors time to seek an appeal to the Court of Appeal.
The Law Society described the ruling as "a deeply disappointing judgement" but said the fight would go on "for access to proper legal representation for anyone accused of a crime".
Society president Andrew Caplen said: "Access to legal advice is a fundamental human right, the absence of which undermines our society.
"We consider there to be an unacceptably increased risk that those accused of crimes, some of whom are the most vulnerable in our society, will have inadequate access to legal representation."
He said there was a risk that "large areas of the country could be left without legal representation".
He added: "We will continue to campaign for an effective, publicly funded defence system to prevent the risk of a sharp increase in miscarriages of justice."
In a joint statement, Bill Waddington, chairman of the Criminal Law Solicitors' Association, and Jonathan Black, president of the London Criminal Courts Solicitors' Association, said the proposed changes would be "a further nail in the coffin for access to justice for vulnerable people".
The bodies have also warned that "many firms have been considering their future" and that lawyers risk losing their jobs.
Welcoming the judgement, a Ministry of Justice (MoJ) spokesman said: "Anyone suspected of a crime will still have access to a legal aid lawyer of their choosing, just as they do now."
The MoJ says that the legal aid system, prior to its reform, was one of the world's most expensive at a cost of £2bn a year - and will still be "very generous" at about £1.5bn a year.
"Given the financial crisis inherited by this government, we have no choice but to find savings in everything we do," the department spokesman said.
"Our reforms are designed to ensure the system is fair for those who need it, the lawyers who provide it, as well as the taxpayers who ultimately pay for it."
It was this time last year that the government announced its plans to cut the number of firms doing duty solicitor work in magistrates' courts and police stations.
It is part of what the Ministry of Justice has said is reform of the criminal legal aid system to ensure it is "sustainable".
Chris Grayling, the Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary, has faced vehement opposition to the plans from lawyers, including strikes and protests outside Parliament. | The armed police division of China's army has tested a new style of shoe which will replace the green canvas "liberation shoe" worn since the 1950s.

The men were arrested on Wednesday in Bradford as part of the National Crime Agency's investigation into historical child sexual exploitation and abuse.
The offences are said to have taken place against two girls aged 16 and 17.
Nine people have now been arrested as part of the NCA's Operation Stovewood.
It was launched at the request of South Yorkshire Police.
Its aim is to investigate non-familial sexual abuse in Rotherham, between 1997 and 2013, after a report found at least 1,400 girls were abused in the town during that period.
The 29-year-old was released by Oxford in May after an injury-hit season where he failed to score a goal.
City boss Paul Tisdale is also looking at forward Alex Fisher, who has played abroad and most recently at Mansfield.
"I'm optimistic about it. We need to see him (Hoskins) train and hopefully that'll turn into something," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon.
"He'll be training with us for a couple of weeks and then we'll see."
Hoskins started his career at Rotherham and has also spent a season with Bristol Rovers.
"We tried really hard to sign him (previously) but someone trumped us, so I've got into the process of looking at his game before," added Tisdale.
"If we can get good value and give someone an opportunity, everyone's a winner. He's someone that's got pedigree."
Fisher, 25, spent last season at Mansfield but was not offered a new contract.
He has played for Belgian side Mechelen and Italian outfit Monza in recent years and spent time at the Glenn Hoddle Academy.
"We've had a little look at him and he'll possibly be coming back. He seems a very likeable chap and has a good touch," Tisdale said.
"He's a 'lead your front line' kind of striker, and so far so good, but the first week of pre-season's really hard to judge because you don't see the decision making so much."
Pearse Jordan was shot in the back by an RUC officer as he ran from a stolen car he was driving on the Falls Road.
The controversial killing has been claimed by some as evidence of a so-called shoot to kill policy.
However, on Monday Mr Justice Horner said he did not accept that there was any evidence that the officer involved was a "cold callous killer".
The coroner did, however, criticise police record keeping and said that some officers had, almost certainly, lied in their evidence to the inquest.
It is the third inquest held into the 22-year-old's killing.
Lawyers representing Mr Jordan's family said that they welcomed the coroner's assessment that the police "failed to provide a satisfactory and convincing explanation for the use of lethal force".
However, they were disappointed that he did not conclude on the evidence that the shooting "was unjustified".
The lawyers said they would now study the detailed verdict closely with Mr Jordan's parents.
This overturns a decision made by former minister John O'Dowd in 2015.
He maintained all exam boards operating in Northern Ireland must give their results using the letters A* to G.
That led to the two largest English GCSE exam boards to say they would not offer GCSE courses in Northern Ireland.
Mr Weir said those exam boards - AQA and OCR - have now confirmed they will reverse that decision.
Therefore, from 2018, many pupils in Northern Ireland will receive results in both letter and number form, as around one in four GCSEs here is studied through an English board.
The local examining body, CCEA, will continue to award GCSEs from A* to G only.
However, they will introduce a new C* grade.
Under the numerical grading system 9 is the highest and 1 is the lowest.
Speaking in the assembly, Mr Weir said that he had "decided to lift the current restriction upon the accreditation of 9-1 GCSEs".
"By re-opening the market in this way, our learners will be able to access GCSE courses leading to both alphabetical grades and numerical grades.
"Depending upon the decisions of schools, some young people will leave school with a record of attainment that consists of a mixture of letters and numbers." he said.
"This in practice is little different from what happens now with the mixture of qualifications at level 2 with GCSEs, BTEC, Level 2 Certificates and Diplomas."
In 2017, English examining boards will give their results in the form of numbers, where nine is the highest grade and one the lowest.
However, the change will not take effect for results in most subjects until 2018.
The body which runs examinations in Northern Ireland, the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA), has welcomed the minister's decision.
It a statement it said: "We are pleased that the Minister has moved swiftly to review policy and provide his decision on the future of grading for GCSEs in Northern Ireland.
"CCEA, as the Qualifications Regulator, has a statutory responsibility to ensure that qualifications taken by learners here are comparable to similar qualifications taken by learners in other parts of the United Kingdom.
"We will start work immediately on the technical implementation of the new grading and continue to ensure that our qualifications remain comparable to other similar qualifications elsewhere in the United Kingdom."
Kevin McLean allegedly forced his way into Agnes Widdis's home in Dundee on 12 February.
Prosecutors at Dundee Sheriff Court allege he seized his grandmother by the arm and robbed her of £50 in cash.
A further allegation states that on the same day Mr McLean, 31, was in possession of two knives in Dundee's South Ward Road.
Mr McLean pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Sheriff Alastair Brown continued the case until 8 July for further investigations to be made.
In its final draft of 2014-2019 rail funding, the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) increased funding for level crossings by £32m to a total of £109m.
Nine people died on level crossings last year, more than double the year before.
Network Rail's overall funding was cut by £1.7bn by the ORR.
The extra funding for level crossings comes a short time after the House of Commons Transport Committee heard about concerns over level crossing safety from the parents of Olivia Bazlinton, 14, who, with her friend Charlotte Thompson, was killed at a crossing at Elsenham in Essex in December 2005.
Network Rail was fined £1m over the girls' deaths in 2012 after admitting health and safety breaches associated with the level crossing.
Olivia's mother Tina Hughes told BBC Breakfast the changes being made to level crossings would save lives.
She said "many of the crossings in this country have got little protection on them" adding that such crossings represented the most danger to the public.
Network Rail said it had already closed 700 level crossings in the last five years and the extra funding would help it continue its work.
The safety measures being introduced at crossings that are not being closed include gates being installed, footbridges introduced, low-cost barriers and warning lights.
ORR chief executive Richard Price said Network Rail believed the measures would enable it to reduce the risk at level crossings by 25% compared to now.
"Closing 500 level crossings is a pretty big deal in terms of the railway overall," he said.
In the ORR's final determination on funding for railways in England, Scotland and Wales, Network Rail will receive more than £21bn over the next five years to fund the day-to-day running of the network.
The savings require Network Rail to bring down the cost of running the network by around 20%.
Many of the targets were included in the ORR's draft determination in June.
Targets and spending announced on Thursday included:
Network Rail has until 7 February 2014 to respond in detail and accept or reject the ORR's determination.
The company's chief executive, Sir David Higgins, said the next five years would be a "critical challenge" for the railway.
"A challenge to continue to respond to rising passenger demand and our need to grow and expand the network while at the same time juggling the ever harder challenges of improving performance, reducing cost and delivering huge investment projects from which substantial social and economic benefits flow."
He added that Network Rail would use the next few months to seek clarification and work through the detail of the determination.
Anthony Smith, chief executive of rail customer watchdog Passenger Focus, said: "Passengers want safe, reliable train services and more and longer trains to cope with rising passenger numbers.
"This large investment is welcome, and these industry targets should help underpin NR's plans. However, passengers will want to see these revised punctuality targets being met.
He said the organisation was "pleased to see a renewed commitment to transparency".
They say he died in fighting in Salahuddin province, north of Baghdad. His supporters have denied the claim.
Douri, 72, led the Naqshbandi Order insurgent group, a key force behind the recent rise of Islamic State (IS).
He was deputy to Saddam Hussein, who was ousted when US-led forces invaded Iraq in 2003 and executed in 2006.
Douri was regarded as the most high-profile official of Saddam Hussein's Baath party to successfully evade capture after the invasion, and had a large bounty on his head for years.
He was the King of Clubs in the famous pack of cards the US issued of wanted members of Saddam Hussein's regime after its defeat.
There have been reports of Douri's death or capture before and the now-dissolved Baath party denied the latest claim.
However, al-Arabiya TV showed a picture of what it said was Douri's body.
The remains have now been transferred to Baghdad for DNA testing, according to the Popular Mobilisation Forces - an umbrella group of Shia militia fighting IS.
Salahuddin governor Raed al-Jabouri said he had died during an operation by soldiers and allied Shia militiamen east of Tikrit - a city that was recaptured by the government two weeks ago.
The death of the last major figure from Saddam Hussein's regime still on the run, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri - if confirmed - is a final twitch of the curtain falling on that era in Iraqi history. But his role after Saddam's fall has been more significant. He led a hard core of loyalists to the defeated regime, who helped fuel and prolong the insurgency against its successors.
An elusive figure, his death was reported and then retracted several times. There were various rumours about where he was based, inside or outside Iraq - and his health was believed to have all but incapacitated him. But he reappeared - on tape, at least - as Islamic State militants were seizing Mosul and Tikrit last year. He urged Iraqis to join the Sunni jihadists' fight.
There's little doubt that Saddam-era officials and military commanders have played a key role in making IS the fighting force it is. How big a role Mr Douri actively played in this is open to question, as is any direct and continuing alliance between his militia and IS. So his death is symbolically significant, but may have little practical effect on the ground.
Douri's Naqshbandi Order is the main Baathist insurgent group. Despite its secular roots, it is believed to have played a key role in a major offensive by Islamic State last year.
IS seized swathes of territory in eastern Syria and across northern and western Iraq, in an effort to establish an Islamic "caliphate".
But in recent months Iraqi forces - backed by US-led air strikes since August - have recaptured 25% to 30% of the territory initially lost to IS.
The jihadist group still controls large areas, including the second city of Mosul, in the north.
Militants staged a number of attacks on Friday. In the capital, Baghdad, a series of bombings claimed by IS left at least 30 people dead.
The deadliest explosion was close to an outdoor market.
In the northern city of Irbil, the capital of the autonomous region of Kurdistan, a bomb killed three people and injured five, near the US consulate. Attacks in this area are relatively rare.
Meanwhile, thousands of civilians continued to flee Ramadi, amid escalating violence in the city. Families have been making their way towards Baghdad, but have criticised government regulations that require each person to have a sponsor in the capital.
One woman told BBC Arabic: "We've been walking for two days and the bridge to Baghdad is blocked. My child was dying before the police came to help."
The violence in Iraq has been fuelled by the sectarian divide between Sunni and Shia Muslims.
The government is dominated by politicians belonging to the Shia majority and backed by Shia militias. IS and other insurgent groups are Sunni.
Clermont Auvergne versus Saracens at Murrayfield will be the 100th game Owens has refereed in the tournament.
It will be the 45-year-old's third Champions Cup final in a row having first officiated in European rugby in the 2001 Challenge Cup.
Owens is the world's most experienced referee and officiated the 2015 Rugby World Cup final.
His assistant referees in Edinburgh will be Ireland's George Clancy and Ian Davies of Wales.

The farm being built in Newtownabbey, County Antrim, will house 15,000 pigs.
Planning permission for the project was granted late last year, despite thousands of objections.
Antrim and Newtownabbey Council said the warning was part of an investigation into "a range of unauthorised signage".
Resident John Holland said he received a letter on Friday warning him he will be fined if the sign is not removed by 7 March.
In a statement, the council said the display of signs of that nature required "advertisement consent from the council" and that signs put up without consent are "deemed to be unauthorised".
Speaking to BBC Radio Ulster, Mr Holland said he erected the sign on his own property because protest banners placed near the council's offices had been torn down.
"What can you do if they're going to turn round and slap a fine of up to £2,500?
"We're two pensioners, I can't afford to pay that," Mr Holland said.
The council said an unauthorised sign is an offence under Northern Ireland's planning laws, and that "compliance and respect for that process (planning) are both essential and expected".
"In this specific case, the council wrote to the owner/occupier on 21 February detailing the nature of the offence, the penalties that could be imposed and requested that the sign be removed by 7 March.
"The owner has now indicated to the council that he intends to remove the sign in question."
The development of the major pig farm has faced opposition, with Queen guitarist Brian May one of those critical of the plan.
There were 856 individual letters of objection and 200,000 people signed an online petition against the original project before planning permission was granted.
There were also two letters of support for the project.
They said those detained worked for Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, the most wanted man in Mexico.
They were arrested during a helicopter raid on a ranch in the north-western state of Durango on Friday.
During the raid, elite troops killed the regional leader of the gang, Luis Alberto Cabrera Sarabia.
The security forces said his death was a severe blow to the Sinaloa cartel's operations in Durango and Chihuahua.
Mr Cabrera Sarabia is accused of having controlled much of the drug trafficking in the two northern states.
Defence spokesman Gen Ricardo Trevilla Trejo said the security forces located the ranch where Mr Cabrera Sarabia was staying last week.
A special operations team moved in on Friday and were fired on, Gen Trevilla Trejo said.
He said that Mr Cabrera Sarabia managed to escape along with his bodyguard, hiding in a cave in a mountainous area near the ranch.
'Family business'
Mr Cabrera Sarabia was killed in a firefight as the special operations team moved in on the cave, the general said.
Three members of the security forces were injured in the operation.
At the ranch, soldiers found more than a dozen long-range weapons and more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition, as well as armoured cars and communication equipment.
Gen Trevilla Trejo said Mr Cabrera Sarabia had been personally chosen to head the Sinaloa cartel's operations in the region by its leader Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman.
He was appointed only last month, after the arrest of the previous regional leader, Luis Alberto Cabrera Sarabia's brother, Felipe.
The Sinaloa cartel controls much of the flow of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines into the United States via air, land and sea, and is believed to have links in as many as 50 countries.
Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman was jailed in 1993 but escaped his maximum-security prison in a laundry basket eight years later, embarrassing and eluding the authorities ever since.
Davies' place-kicking was below par in Wales' 24-6 win over Tonga on Friday, missing three of seven chances, but the fly-half impressed with ball in hand.
Wales now travel from Eden Park to Apia to face Samoa on Friday, 23 June.
"Sam is the main danger for Wales. He's good at making the right decision at the right time, he's classy and he's got a good kicking game," Fonotia said.
"He is a very gifted player. He always seems to have a bit of time when he takes the ball to the line."
Fonotia joined Ospreys from New Zealand side Crusaders in February 2016 and his performances for the Welsh region have helped smooth his way into international rugby.
The 29-year-old, who was born in Christchurch but qualifies for Samoa through his grandfather, made his Test debut in the 78-0 thumping by New Zealand on Friday.
That match was part of a double-header at Eden Park, in which Wales saw off Tonga earlier in the day.
Fonotia will now make his first visit to his adopted country this weekend, hoping to put one over his Ospreys colleagues.
"I've never been to Samoa and it will be my first time, but I'm pumped to get there," Fonotia said.
"I caught up with a few of the Wales guys in New Zealand. I know they're looking forward to the game and playing against your mates is always fun.
"We want to give it a really good crack."

Root made 133 not out and Alex Hales 95 as England, the bookmakers' favourites for the tournament, reached their target of 306 with 16 balls to spare.
Tamim Iqbal hit 128 in Bangladesh's 305-5, with Liam Plunkett taking 4-59.
But England suffered injury concerns as Chris Woakes sustained a side problem and Root appeared to hurt his calf.
Ben Stokes, who required a pre-match fitness test on a knee injury, did manage to bowl seven overs.
However, Woakes only sent down two before leaving the field, while Root hobbled through much of the second part of his innings. Woakes is being sent for a scan on Thursday evening while Root's niggle is thought to be less serious.
England will probably secure a place in the semi-finals if they beat New Zealand in Cardiff on Tuesday, while Bangladesh almost certainly have to beat Australia on Monday to avoid being eliminated.
England are strongly fancied to win their first global 50-over trophy largely because of the strength of their batting, which again impressed on a superb surface.
But their bowling, arguably a weakness, showed room for improvement for sterner tests to come. Pace bowler Jake Ball, preferred to the leg spin of Adil Rashid, went at more than eight an over.
Opener Jason Roy, with a highest score of 20 in his six previous one-day internationals, made only one from eight balls before scooping pace bowler Mashrafe Mortaza to short fine leg.
Still, injuries are starting to look like the biggest problem. After doubts over Stokes, the loss of either Root or Woakes, England's highest ranked ODI batsman and bowler respectively, would be a huge blow.

Even in such perfect conditions for batting, Bangladesh's total was enough to pressure England, especially after Roy was dismissed.
However, Root and Hales calmed any fears of an upset with a second-wicket stand of 159.
Hales muscled the ball through the leg side, played brutal cuts and lofted two sixes, only to be caught on the leg side boundary when looking for the blow that would have taken him to a century.
Root deftly worked the ball off his pads and behind square on the off side and, despite being in obvious discomfort after suffering the injury on 61, completed a 10th ODI hundred.
By that time he had been joined by captain Eoin Morgan. The left-hander survived a spectacular catch which was claimed by Tamim - but not given following a look at television replays - before compiling a typically calculated unbeaten 75.
They added an unbroken 143 for the third wicket, Root accelerating after passing three figures to post his highest ODI score.
Bangladesh took advantage of being invited to bat, led by the sparkling Tamim and cheered on by an energetic crowd.
Tamim was on 19 when he could have fallen to a vicious Mark Wood bouncer but, after that, he despatched anything short and played drives down the ground.
He shared a stand of 166 with Mushfiqur Rahim (79) to move Bangladesh to a dangerous 259-2 with six overs remaining.
But Tamim skied to Jos Buttler and Mushfiqur holed to long on from successive Plunkett deliveries to halt the Tigers' momentum.
Bangladesh posted their highest ODI total against England, but it was still about 30 runs short of really testing the powerful home batting.
Ex-England captain Alec Stewart on Test Match Special: "Whatever you throw at Joe Root, he proves that he can do it. People say he isn't a power hitter or whatever but he hits sixes.
"He has mastered Test cricket, 50-over and Twenty20 cricket. Whenever England need him he scores runs.
"He plays safe shots and scores at a run a ball. That is all you can ask. I don't see his injury being a problem at all. The real concern is Chris Woakes."
England captain Eoin Morgan: "When the guys bat like that it is a lot easier than it used to be. When you have Joe Root in your side and an in-form Alex Hales, that is a huge factor. They struck the ball really well.
"Joe (Root) is the glue in our side. He has scored a lot of runs in the last couple of years and continues to do it. He is not slow. He is batting at pace. He has been working on his power hitting and today it worked."
Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza: "On this wicket we were a little bit short. In the middle patches we couldn't get any wickets and Root and Morgan took the game away from us.
"At the end of our innings with six or seven wickets in hand we could have been a lot better. We need more variety in our attack. We will think about playing an extra bowler."
Myrtle Scudamore, the eight-year-old daughter of jockey Tom - rider of leading Grand National fancy Vieux Lion Rouge - sums up her family's Aintree dilemma.
"What will we do, Daddy," she asks, "if you and Grumpy Grandad's horse come to the final fence together?"
Grumpy Grandad is Tom's father Peter, eight-time champion jump jockey of the 1980s and 90s, who with partner Lucinda Russell has been preparing another major contender, One For Arthur, at their base north of Edinburgh.
Both horses have enjoyed successful seasons, particularly the David Pipe-trained Vieux Lion Rouge, seventh in 2016, and winner of Aintree's Becher Chase in December when defeating four of his big-race rivals including One For Arthur (fifth).
Success for either would be a significant one for the Scudamore clan: Tom is having his 16th go at the race - he's finished eighth twice - while in 12 attempts Peter was never closer than third.
Tom's trainer-brother Michael has saddled a Grand National third, but none of them have emulated Peter's father, Michael senior, who rode Oxo to win in 1959.
"Obviously, we're all itching to win it, and if it's not 'Arthur', of course I hope it's Tom," said Peter.
As for young Myrtle, she'll be cheering on Vieux Lion Rouge, but has promised to happily defect if One For Arthur comes out on top, not least because Grumpy Grandad has promised her a new pony if he wins.
Fact: Vieux Lion Rouge - BBC 5 Live commentator John Hunt says he'd prefer Old Red Lion - seeks to become the first horse to complete the Haydock Grand National Trial/Grand National double; One For Arthur would be only the second Scottish-trained winner after Rubstic (1979).
Verdict: The unique course holds no fears for Vieux Lion Rouge, but will his stamina last out? (It didn't last year, but Tom Scudamore is convinced he's better now). One For Arthur needs to show he's as good in drier conditions, but turns up - with regular rider Derek Fox fit again - in excellent form.
Amid all the anniversaries in 2017 - the bomb alert-delayed race of 1997, Red Rum's Grand National treble completed 40 years ago and Foinavon's shock 1967 win - another significant landmark must not be forgotten.
Though Barony Fort refused at fence 27 in 1977, his jockey Charlotte Brew made history as the first female rider to participate.
Since then, 14 more women have lined up, including Katie Walsh, whose third place on Seabass, behind Neptune Collonges in 2012, is the best finishing position.
Seabass completed the course again under Walsh a year later and went off as favourite or joint-favourite both times.
The sister of two-time winning jockey Ruby Walsh, who is set for her fifth Grand National mount on the Paul Nicholls-trained Wonderful Charm despite a late injury scare, says there is no reason why a female jockey won't one day be successful - it's just a matter of when.
And 40 years on from Barony Fort, my goodness the racing landscape has changed for once-marginalised women; females won all three amateur-rider races at the 2017 Cheltenham Festival.
In Ireland, Rachael Blackmore leads the conditional jockeys' [jumps' apprentices] title race, and Josephine Gordon is British flat racing's reigning champion apprentice.
Fact: Wonderful Charm's trainer Paul Nicholls has up to five runners as he looks to add prize money - it's over £560,000 for first - to his total in the struggle with Nicky Henderson to be champion trainer.
Verdict: Wonderful Charm is likely to go well for Walsh, but the stable's big hope is gallant Cheltenham Gold Cup fifth Saphir Du Rheu, the mount of Sam Twiston-Davies.
It's also 10 years since Gordon Elliott, then 29 and a little-known trainer from County Meath, Ireland, galloped into many in-boxes for the first time when successful in the Grand National with Silver Birch.
When the 10-year-old, bought cheaply out of the Paul Nicholls stable after his previous owner divorced, walked into the hallowed winners' circle at Aintree, Elliott had never won a professional race at home.
A decade later, and now with a 200-strong string of horses, many owned by airline tycoon Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown House Stud operation, Elliott comes to Aintree with a spring in his step having been top stable at the Cheltenham Festival.
He also heads the Irish trainers' championship that Willie Mullins has dominated for nine seasons.
O'Leary scratched several of Elliott's potential runners in a row over the weights they were allotted, so it's three-time Festival winner Cause Of Causes and Ucello Conti, last year's sixth - neither owned by Gigginstown - which head the Elliott challenge.
Having won 19 of the 28 races at Cheltenham, Irish jump racing is on the crest of a wave too, and with around a dozen Grand National contenders hopes are high of following up the now-retired Rule The World's win of 12 months ago.
Rule The World's trainer Mouse Morris has spoken well of his Gigginstown-owned pair, Rogue Angel and Thunder And Roses, while 2016's winning jockey David Mullins is back, riding outsider Stellar Notion.
Fact: After drawing a blank from 1975 (L'Escargot) until 1999 (Bobbyjo), Irish-trained horses have won six times since.
Verdict: The Irish contender I like is the Willie Mullins-trained Pleasant Company who impressed in his prep race at Fairyhouse in February, ridden by Ruby Walsh. I can see him being behind before gradually picking off rivals.
Amid the betting frenzy that surrounds the Grand National, it's being suggested one name may stand out, in the process highlighting one of racing's biggest spelling mistakes.
With Aintree being on Merseyside, where red is so prevalent in sport, and the fact many people worldwide believe it their lucky colour, Definitly Red is sure to be all the rage. (There's an 'e' missing in his name, by the way. It's believed whoever filled out the horse's registration papers wasn't a great speller...)
And the credentials of the Brian Ellison-trained runner, who has an attractive mid-range weight, add up too: he's the winner of three races this season, earning his place in the line-up with a fine-jumping success over 2016 runner-up The Last Samuri (also misspelled, you might have noticed) in Doncaster's Grimthorpe Chase.
The preparation of Definitly Red, one of three fancied runners - along with One For Arthur and Highland Lodge - from jump racing's currently less fashionable Northern and Scottish circuit, is described by Yorkshire-based Ellison as "better than perfect".
On board, riding in the silks of owner Phil Martin, will be jockey Danny Cook, whose appearance on jump racing's biggest stage is, in a way, doubly unlikely.
Not only has Cook successfully rebuilt his reputation after serving a six-month ban in 2015 following a positive test for cocaine - "a catastrophic error of judgement" - he might also have been facing rather more formidable opponents than Becher's Brook and The Chair.
As a teenager, he applied to the Army as well as to the Northern Racing College - it's the Grand National's gain that the NRC answered first.
Fact: Arriving aged 16 at the Racing College, Cook had never sat on a horse and admits to be being scared of them.
Carrying 11st 10lb, compared to 10-8 in 2016, The Last Samuri would be the first top weight to win since Red Rum in 1974.
Verdict: Brilliant last time, Definitly Red has reportedly been doing all the right things on the gallops, but has never been around Aintree and has fallen or unseated on 'standard' courses twice in the last 13 months. Weight is the big issue for The Last Samuri.
Prior to 2010 when he successfully prepared Don't Push It for Grand National glory under AP McCoy, champion jockey-turned-trainer Jonjo O'Neill always had his famous good nature tested at Aintree.
Not only had he never saddled a winner of the big race - though he'd had runners finish second and third - but in his riding days he had not managed to even complete the course in eight attempts.
Don't Push It famously removed that particular monkey from O'Neill's back - and from McCoy's; it was his 15th attempt - and the trainer looks to have a decent chance this time with More Of That.
Once a champion over hurdles, More Of That hasn't reached the same heights over steeplechase fences, however he's given the impression he's gradually getting there and a good run is anticipated.
Fact: The furthest O'Neill got when riding in a Grand National was fence 24 (the Canal Turn, second time around) when unseated by Sir Garnet in 1977.
Verdict: More Of That has plenty of weight, but he's a classy individual, and there's a feeling he's coming to the boil - he was certainly not disgraced in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The Grand National's equal most successful owner, Trevor Hemmings, has, along with Patricia and David Thompson of Cheveley Park Stud, been flexing his cheque book in the build-up.
Hemmings, whose victories have come with Hedgehunter, Ballabriggs and the recently-deceased Many Clouds, has purchased the Paul Nicholls-trained Vicente for whom top North of England-based jockey Brian Hughes has been booked.
The Thompsons will hope lightning can strike again, 25 years on from buying 1992 winner Party Politics just before the race. This time, they've acquired another Nicholls runner, Le Mercurey, plus Highland Lodge who's lined up in Aintree's Becher Chase three times and has form figures of 8-1-2.
Meanwhile, a third Nicholls horse - Just A Par - was also snapped up by the Thompsons at an auction on the course after the first of the three days and will run in their son Richard's name.

Officials at Aintree have made minor changes to three fences, all open ditches, on the National course ahead of this year's race.
Previously, £1.5m was spent on modifications after two fatal injuries in each of the Grand Nationals of 2011 and 2012. Since then there have been none, though in the same period there have been six in the four other races staged over the track during the year.
With the weather set to be generally fine, clerk of the course Andrew Tulloch can rely on a new 'pop-up' irrigation system to ensure the going doesn't dry too much.

It's said the £300m gambled on the Grand National will contribute to an estimated total of £500m wagered on one of the year's biggest betting weekends.
Also taking place are golf's Masters, the Chinese F1 Grand Prix and a string of Premier League matches.
As favourites like Definitly Red and Vieux Lion Rouge are talked up, it's worth bearing in mind the average odds of a Grand National winner since the turn of the century is close to 28-1.
GoFundMe removed some campaigns, saying they fell foul of its rules regarding hate speech and abuse.
James Alex Fields Jr, 20, is being held in police custody after a car rammed into a crowd of protesters.
One woman died in the incident, and 19 other people were injured.
GoFundMe had removed "multiple" campaigns for Mr Fields, a spokesman told Reuters.
"Those campaigns did not raise any money, and they were immediately removed," said director of strategic communications Bobby Whithorne.
Kickstarter and Indiegogo, fellow crowdfunding platforms, said they had not seen any campaigns in support of Mr Fields and a spokesman for Kickstarter pointed out that the site did not allow fund-raising for personal needs or legal defence.
Both platforms added that they were monitoring the situation.
A check by the BBC found no evidence of such fundraising efforts on any of the three sites.
There are several GoFundMe campaigns in support of victims injured while protesting against the white nationalist march.
However, there are at least two campaigns in support of those who marched at Charlottesville at an "alternative" crowd-funding site called Rootbocks, which uses the slogan: "No Censorship. No Limits."
One seeks to gather funds for Nathan Damigo - the founder of a white nationalist group - to bring legal action against the city of Charlottesville.
The campaign argues that Mr Damigo's First Amendment rights were "violated" when he was arrested at the event.
About $9,000 (£6,900) has so far been raised out of a $50,000 goal.
Other technology sites are closely managing the discussion of incidents at Charlottesville.
Facebook said it would remove links to an article on a neo-Nazi website denigrating Heather Heyer - the woman who died - unless links to the piece condemned it.
The site in question, the Daily Stormer, was also forced to switch domain registrars twice in 24 hours after GoDaddy and Google both expelled it from their services that allow customers to register web addresses.
Later on Monday, other tech platforms used by the site - including email newsletter provider Sendgrid and business software firm Zoho - said they had also terminated services.
Companies responsible for content posted on their websites were in a difficult position when it came to policing offensive speech, said Prof Eric Heinze at Queen Mary University of London.
"The problem is with Facebook [and others] you have these large platforms that basically replace the town square and public park," he explained.
"You're giving a private company a censorship function."
He added that while companies are within their rights to remove content that offends them, the action can still prove controversial.
"This issue is not a solved one, it's something our society will not be able to completely iron out in the foreseeable future."
Darian MacKinnon volleyed Accies ahead before the break, but Sean Winter levelled from the penalty spot in the 69th minute.
Louis Longridge flicked in with nine minutes remaining before Ali Crawford clinched the points.
Queen of the South beat Stenhousemuir 3-1 in the other Group H fixture.
Hamilton avoided relegation from the Scottish Premiership last season after a play-off win over Dundee United.
And they had not added to their squad until the day before their opening fixture, with French central defender Xavier Tomas arriving for an undisclosed fee from Swiss club Lausanne-Sport.
They could have fallen behind to East Kilbride early on as striker Aiden Ferris missed two chances.
But Accies had the better chances, forcing home goalkeeper Matthew McGinley into a series of saves.
Midfielder MacKinnon made the breakthrough from a Crawford corner.
East Kilbride's Adam Strachan had already been denied by the crossbar before Winter equalised after after Accies defender Georgios Sarris fouled Craig Howie.
Accies were back in front when Longridge got on the end of Grant Gillespie's delivery, with time left for Crawford to knock in a third.
Stephen Dobbie scored a double as Championship outfit Queens came from behind to win at Ochilview.
Stenhousemuir had taken the lead through a Mark McGuigan penalty after a foul by Shaun Rooney.
However, Dobbie equalised after 69 minutes and grabbed his second five minutes from time, Rooney having made amends to edge Queens ahead of the League Two outfit.

It was one of the bloodiest events of World War One - with 4,000 Welsh soldiers killed or injured on the first day, 31 July 1917.
Among them was Welsh poet Hedd Wyn.
The 38th (Welsh) Division played a central role in the battle, capturing key positions on the ridge at Pilckem.
By the end of the battle - also known as the Third Battle of Ypres - half a million men had died from both sides, with Allied forces having advanced just five miles (8km) in three months.
Events in and around what became known as the Ypres Salient started at dawn on Monday, as a memorial ceremony marking "Zero hour" was held at the Welsh memorial in Langemark.
It was where men from the 38th Division - which was made up entirely of Welsh soldiers - went over the top, with orders to capture Pilckem Ridge, the high ground held by heavily reinforced German troops.
During that assault, three Welsh Victoria Crosses were won.
But by 11:00, Hedd Wyn had died at a dressing station at Hagebos, without knowing he had won the highest prize at that year's National Eisteddfod - the chair.
A ceremony to remember him, and the Irish poet Francis Ledwidge, who was killed on the same day, was held at Artillery Wood Cemetery in Langemark on Monday morning.
It was followed by a UK ceremony at the Tyne Cot Cemetery near Passchendaele itself, the largest Commonwealth war grave in the world.
Prince Charles, Prince William and Prime Minister Theresa May were among those at that ceremony to pay tribute to those who died.
Prince Charles later joined the service to remember the Welsh fallen, giving a reading in English and Welsh, before laying a wreath.
Wales football manager Chris Coleman also addressed the congregation.
Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns, and the leaders of all the Welsh political parties, as well as descendants of those who were killed, also attended the service.
The speeches and readings were delivered in front of the 9ft (2.7m) dragon sculpture, which honours the Welsh men who fought in the conflict.
Mr Jones said: “It is a great privilege to be back in Langemark for this important occasion.
“It has been three years since the memorial was unveiled and it offers us a fitting place to pay tribute and reflect on the sacrifices of all those who took part in the Third Battle of Ypres 100 years ago.
“In this peaceful spot today, it is hard to imagine the horrors of war faced by our soldiers and the agonising wait of families back home who might not know the fate of loved ones for many months.”
A new memorial to the fallen Welsh soldiers was blessed at the end of the service. Seven stones show the cap badges of five Welsh Regiments and two Welsh Divisions involved in the battle.
The day ended with performances from the choir, Cor Rygbi Gogledd Cymru, and Welsh singer Rhys Meirion at the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres.
The gate records the names of another 54,395 missing and dead in the conflict who were never found.
It comes after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a service on Sunday evening, accompanied by the band of the Welsh Guards.
“When you see these 54,000 names that are carved into the wall, you realise that they couldn’t find them. It’s amazing,” said Welsh tenor Meirion.
“It is a stadium full when you think about it. It puts things in perspective and it is very difficult.”
That is more than triple the loss the company reported during the same period a year ago.
Twitter said it had 271 million monthly users - up 24% from a year ago - allaying investor fears that the service is not growing fast enough.
Shares in the firm soared over 35% in after-hours trading.
"Our strong financial and operating results for the second quarter show the continued momentum of our business," said chief executive Dick Costolo in a statement, noting Twitter's strong user figures during the World Cup.
However, in an interview with CNBC, Mr Costolo said that it was not just the World Cup that drove user growth, in an effort to allay fears that the company would not be able to keep the users it gained during the sporting event.
Twitter said it added 16 million new users during the March to June period - 13 million internationally and 3 million in the US.
Advertising revenue grew 129% from the same period a year earlier to $277m. Crucially for investors worried about shifting user habits, a majority of that advertising revenue came from mobile advertising.
Twitter said more than 78% of its clients access the service on their mobile devices.
With the talismanic Parisse rested for the Azzurri's tour, scrum-half Edoardo Gori - the only Italy player with more than 50 caps - leads the side.

Glasgow's Leonardo Sarto is on the wing with Michele Campagnaro at centre.
Former Scotland Under-20 cap Tommaso Allan gets the nod over Carlo Canna at fly-half in an Italy side with an average age of 24 and containing seven players with less than 20 caps.
But after failing to win a match in this year's Six Nations Championship, coach Conor O'Shea is using their tour - which like Scotland's also includes Tests against Fiji and Australia - as a springboard for the future.
"Our guys don't get all the resources that others do, but we are making fundamental changes for the future and we have just brought in a conditioning coach," said the Irishman.
"Our goal is not to be winning World Cups, it is to change Italian rugby for the future.
"Scottish rugby has showed that if you make the right changes, you can make rapid strides and catch up very quickly. Our job this weekend is to put a little more pressure on Scotland and take our chances instead of missing them all."
Scotland flanker John Hardie has warned his side must avoid under-estimating the Italians, who they beat 29-0 in their final game of the Six Nations.
"They are going to be up for the game," said the open-side. "They have a strong set-piece, so we will be on a game there.
"They also have a new defence coach who might change things and I am sure Conor O'Shea has a few tricks up his sleeve. We will have to be careful and have full respect for them."

Jose Chinchilla, who works for a radio station in El Progreso in northern Honduras, said his son was injured when unidentified gunmen opened fire outside the family home.
More than 20 journalists have been murdered over the past three years in Honduras.
None of the crimes has been solved.
Wave of violence
It is not clear whether the attacks were linked to the the victims' professions, but pressure groups say journalists covering rising levels of crime and drug trafficking in Honduras are increasingly at risk.
Two gunmen on motorcycles drove past Mr Chinchilla's home on Friday night opening fire and injuring his 24-year-old son, he was quoted by local media as saying.
Mr Chinchilla is the correspondent for radio station Radio Cadena Voces in the city of El Progreso.
Journalists working for Radio Cadena Voces have been targeted before.
In October 2007, journalist and humorist Carlos Salgado was shot dead as he was leaving the Radio Cadena Voces' offices in the capital, Tegucigalpa.
A month later, the station's director, Dagoberto Rodriguez, left Honduras after receiving death threats.
In May of this year, thousands of people marched in cities across Honduras in protest at the wave of violence against journalists
Haye graphically described injuries he hoped to inflict on Bellew in the run-up to last month's stoppage defeat.
The former world heavyweight champion must appear before the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) on 12 April.
The BBBofC believes Bellew's behaviour improved after both fighters were warned days before the bout.
"Mr Haye was told to behave himself but the board have called him," the board's general secretary Robert Smith told BBC Sport.
"He will now be given the opportunity to come and explain his behaviour."
The BBBofC condemned the actions of both fighters during a fight week which included a boisterous news conference in Liverpool and a media event in London.
According to records on the BBBofC website, Haye, 36, made a donation and apologised for his behaviour to the Southern Area Council at a meeting three days before the bout.
Bellew, 34, was handed a four-month suspended suspension by the board in December as a result of his ringside behaviour when he called Haye out following victory over BJ Flores in October.
Further misdemeanours could have seen his licence withdrawn before the meeting with Haye.
After his 11th-round stoppage win, an emotional Bellew told reporters: "What we have done for boxing tonight is put it on a pedestal.
"Two men fought their hearts out. The board can't say nothing to me and if they do, I will go and get a licence somewhere else."
Haye said after the fight that he expected to be fined for his pre-fight comments.
The ex-WBA heavyweight champion has said he intends on returning to the ring after recovering from Achilles surgery.

The silver dram cup was pinched from Hull's Wilberforce House Museum in 1986 and was lost until last year when it resurfaced in London.
It was identified when an antiques collector took it to an 'opinions day' at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The cup was then offered back to the original museum free of charge.
Tom Goulder, assistant curator of Hull Museums, said the cup was bought in 1969 with a grant from the Art Fund.
He said: "It's really important to Hull because it's a work by Abraham Barachin and he was the last Hull silversmith to use the Hull makers' mark."
The Barachin cup was originally thought to be a medical 'bleeding bowl', used to collect blood during bloodletting but is now thought to have been used to measure and drink small volumes of liquid.
The cup is engraved with an image of the Roman god Mercury holding a caduceus, or staff, along with the initials of its previous owners, 'M.A.R'.
Councillor Terry Geraghty said: "We are looking forward to having this piece returned and back in its rightful home for visitors to view and admire."
No one has ever been arrested in connection with the theft.
Yet, despite enjoying their first win in almost a month, Shrewsbury actually plunged back into the League One bottom four on goal difference, as a result of the size of Bury's 5-1 win at home to Peterborough.
Shrewsbury started brightly, skipper Adam El-Abd heading Joe Riley corner over the bar before Louis Dodds cleverly cut inside to fire powerfully off target.
Bradford winger Mark Marshall's well-struck shot was then pushed away by home goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler but opposite number Colin Doyle then pulled off a fine save to keep out a close-range effort from Ladapo at the other end after he neatly exchanged passes with Dodds.
Shrewsbury then broke the deadlock in the 41st minute when Dodds pounced on a slip from former Shrewsbury defender Nat Knight-Percival on the halfway line.
Although Doyle did well to save his shot, Crystal Palace loan man Ladapo was on hand to tap in the loose ball.
Marshall and Josh Cullen both came close from free-kicks for fourth-placed Bradford in the second half but, with reprieved centre-back Aristote Nsiala also making his home debut, Paul Hurst's side defended impressively.
And the hosts were always lively when they broke, Alex Rodman and Shaun Whalley both firing just over before Whalley volleyed an inviting cross from the lively Ladapo wide. But the size

Mr Evans, who always denied raping the woman, had his conviction quashed at the Court of Appeal in London in April.
The ex-Wales international was jailed in 2012 for raping a 19-year-old at a Premier Inn near Rhyl, Denbighshire.
At a hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, High Court Judge Mrs Justice Nicola Davies said Mr Evans, 27, of Alderley Edge, Cheshire, would stand trial again from 4 October.
The former Sheffield United, Manchester City and Norwich player served half of his five-year term and was released from prison in October 2014.
He has not been signed by a club since.
At the brief court hearing, Mr Evans spoke only to confirm his name and enter a not guilty plea to one count of rape, alleged to have happened on 30 May 2011.
Mrs Justice Nicola Davies will hear the trial, which will be held in Cardiff, and it is scheduled to last for two weeks.
The striker's case was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which investigates possible miscarriages of justice in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, after new evidence emerged.
The appeal hearing was held on 22 and 23 March and following the announcement of the retrial in April, Lady Justice Hallett said the judges heard "fresh evidence".
She said: "In summary, we have concluded that we must allow the appeal and that it is in the interests of justice to order a retrial."
The boards of the two companies had agreed the acquisition in July following protracted talks.
The H&H offer valued John Swan at about £8.2m.
Edinburgh-based John Swan operates livestock centres at Newtown St Boswells in the Scottish Borders and Wooler in Northumberland.
H&H Group operates as a holding company for a number of businesses operating across the auctioneering, commercial print, insurance and property sectors.
In the year to the end of April, John Swan made a pre-tax profit of £123,000 - having made a loss of £369,000 in the previous year.
Mike Russell told the BBC Sunday Politics Scotland programme that no possible amendments to the plan to begin Brexit could win them over.
He said Scotland was opposed to the kind of United Kingdom Theresa May wants it to be.
The prime minister said earlier this week the Scottish government should be "fully engaged" in the Brexit process.
Asked if SNP representatives in the House of Commons are certain to oppose Article 50, Mr Russell said: "Absolutely.
"I can't conceive of circumstances in which we would support the triggering of Article 50.
"As I say, the triggering not only takes this forward in an unacceptable way, it declares the type of country that Theresa May wants this country to be.
"That's not the country that I and my colleagues, and indeed all of Scotland, want it to be."
The prime minister wrote this week of her willingness to take seriously Scottish government plans to retain close trade links with the EU.
She said: "From the start I've been determined that the Scottish government should be fully engaged in the process and my commitment remains absolute.
"I welcome the Scottish government's paper."
John Lamont MSP, the Scottish Conservative chief whip, added: "While the UK government is pressing ahead with plans to ensure Britain is ready for the challenges of the future, the SNP government is leading Scotland down a blind alley of higher taxes and uncertainty over independence.
"The comments from Mike Russell today simply confirm what we have long suspected, that the SNP has no interest in working constructively with the UK government on Brexit.
"The prime minister has made it clear that she wants a deal that works for all parts of the UK, but the SNP are intent only on creating further division."
Crown Currency, based in Hayle, Cornwall, was one of the UK's largest personal currency exchange businesses before it collapsed with debts of £20m in October 2010.
Up to 13,000 people are believed to have lost money, a court heard.
The accused were found guilty of fraudulent trading, false accounting and money laundering.
Established in 2004, Crown allowed individuals and business customers to pre-order foreign exchange at a set price, up to a year in advance.
It provided money in 80 currencies, as well as travellers' cheques and money transfers, sometimes for people to buy property.
The six defendants are:
Prosecutor Peter Grieves-Smith told Southwark Crown Court the firm found holes in profits after poor speculation on the markets and used new customers' cash to pay existing clients.
Crown's day-to-day manager Roderick Schmidt was convicted of two counts of fraudulent trading and cleared of two counts of false accounting.
Crown's former accountant Stephen Matthews was convicted of two counts of false accounting but cleared of two counts of fraudulent trading.
Julian Benstead - who ran Crown's sister company, which specialised in trading cash for gold - was convicted of one count of fraudulent trading. He was cleared of the theft of 25lb (11.3kg) of gold which went "missing" in the days leading up to Crown's collapse.
Susan Benstead was convicted of one charge of money laundering, using nearly £900,000 of customers' money to buy a luxury home in Cornwall.
Former Crown director Edward James, ex-mayor of Glastonbury, was found not guilty of two counts of false accounting. The jury is still considering two charges of fraudulent trading.
Jurors, who have so far spent 45 hours and 30 minutes deliberating, have yet to return verdicts on counts against Peter Benstead, Susan's husband and co-director of Crown.
They are due to continue deliberating on Thursday.
A top secret document sent to newspaper editors has surfaced on the internet.
Issued by the ministry in charge of the press, the two-page document faxed to media organisations relays directives from Iran's Supreme National Security Council. It says editors should praise the deal and the negotiating team.
It stresses the need "to safeguard the achievements of the talks"; avoid sowing "doubt and disappointment among the public"; and avoid giving the impression of "a rift" at the highest levels of government.
It's been the reformist newspapers in Iran that have been the target of such orders in the past - orders that for example sought to stifle debate about the advisability of the whole nuclear programme, and its cost to the nation.
But this secret document seems to target the hardline newspapers for once - newspapers that have been critical of the nuclear deal reached in Vienna on 14 July.
Nuclear deal, main points
The order enacted a few days ago seems to have worked. There is hardly a dissenting voice. This is while the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has not come out for or against the deal, preferring to wait for the time being.
The directive to the editors of the newspapers and news agencies shows how nervous the authorities are about reaction from the hardliners who occupy key positions in many of the country's centres of power, including the Revolutionary Guards corp.
In the first days following the agreement, the hardliners were very critical of the deal, complaining about a host of undertakings that Iran had given at the talks.
But most importantly, to them the deal meant Iran has foregone its ability to build nuclear weapons in return for lifting of the sanctions.
The hardliners have always harboured the idea that Iran should be capable of building the bomb, so that it could boast about it and deter Israel as well as the US from ever contemplating an attack.
They always entertained the hope that Iran could reach the point of being only the turn-of-a-screw away from the building the bomb.
Under the deal, Iran maintains a much smaller nuclear programme while world powers believe they have closed all its pathways to making a bomb.
The silence of Iran's Supreme Leader so far has been interpreted as approval, albeit reluctant.
He has said time and again that Iran went to the talks on the basis of expediency. This is a reference to the chaos the sanctions created for the Iranian economy.
The directive to the editors relaying the orders of the country's top national security body, the Supreme National Security Council, means that Iran has decided it will abide by the agreement and that it will pass the scrutiny of parliament too.
The question now is whether the hardliners will go along. While the directive has worked for the time being, they will not necessarily remain silent. | Two men arrested on suspicion of trafficking young girls for sexual exploitation by officers investigating child sex abuse in Rotherham have been released on bail.

The 56th event started on Saturday morning, with some 2,400 teenagers - many from school and youth groups from across the South West - taking part.
The first team to cross the finish line was Torbay Scouts who took part in the 35-mile (56 km) route.

The event is organised by the Army and assisted by the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force and the Dartmoor Rescue Group.

The 27-year-old former Sale Sharks and Bath forward joined Lyon in 2015 and will complete his second term in France before moving to Kingsholm next summer.
He helped Lyon return to the French top flight by winning promotion last term.
"He's made it clear he wants to play in the Premiership to give himself the best chance of playing for England," director of rugby David Humphreys said.
Fearns added: "I've really enjoyed playing my rugby in France and I feel as though I have become a better player for it. I'm excited to return to the Premiership and get stuck in."
The length of his contract has not been disclosed, but French newspaper L'Equipe reports he has agreed a three-year deal.
Frank, who played at Ibrox alongside his twin in 2004, has been tipped to take over after Mark Warburton's exit.
But Ronald said a bad experience at Inter Milan means Frank will never again enter a job at what he considers the wrong time.
"He will never take a team at this time of year," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
Frank left Ajax for Inter in August 2016 but was sacked after just three months.
And he blamed a lack of pre-season preparation time for the problems that blighted his time in Italy.
"Frank won't go into that (whether there has been an approach from Rangers) but he told me, and I knew this already, that he's waiting probably until the end of April and then he will take his decision on what options are on the table," Ronald added.
"He wants to have a decent run-up. He had this lesson with Inter Milan when he had only two weeks to start the league, he couldn't really prepare the team. I think he learned from that so he wants to have a good pre-season and get to know the players very well.
"He will never take, for example, the Rangers job just now. That's not in question."
And Ronald insists his brother would asses whether Rangers could adapt to his playing style before making any decision.
"He has his philosophy," he added. "Do they stand close to his philosophy and how he wants to play? Is there a chance to buy players, all these kind of things.
"He has to observe the team itself, how strong it is and are the players able to fulfil his thoughts? Frank will play forward so he wants players who can play in small spaces, who can dribble and are willing to go forward. That's really important."
Warburton left Ibrox with Rangers sitting third in the Premiership table, having led them to promotion last season.
And Ronald has sympathy for the Englishman, insisting finances dictate that Scottish clubs must now show more patience with managers and players, much like in his native Netherlands.
"Of course (I have sympathy for Warburton)," he said. "You have to be patient, take your time and of course some players will do great in the Championship and then when you come to the Premiership it's different.
"Sometimes you have to see it happen and then you can judge certain players, because the pressure is suddenly way higher.
"The money is not there anymore, it's in La Liga or the Premier League, in the German league, the Italian - even the French league is more exciting than the Dutch and the Scottish. It's very difficult so we have to accept we have to build with young talent and have to be patient."
This is because the CDF - a fund that will have £340m next year - exists to pay for treatments that would not be bought were cancer subject to normal NHS cost-benefit rules.
Cancer patients are given more support than other patients.
This is seen as a problem for two reasons.
First, basic fairness. Why care more about cancer than other diseases? Second, it undermines the cost-benefit system that officials and doctors work hard to make work for the rest of the NHS.
There remains one big undiscussed element to this, though.
The CDF is a "stop-gap". That's what everyone says.
Andrew Lansley, the former health secretary, said the fund "is not, and was never intended to be, a permanent solution" to the problem the NHS keeps raising about cancer drugs often costing too much.
At the moment, the NHS has an odd system for drug pricing.
It allows "free pricing", which means that pharmaceutical companies can name their price when they come forward with a product.
Then the NHS says "yes" or "no". The state makes a call on whether that price represents good value.
That decision-making role is currently occupied by NICE - the body whose main expertise is in assessing medical technologies.
It works out how much each new technology that it assesses either improves quality of life or prolongs it.
Nice says treatments should not cost more than £20,000 to £30,000 for each extra year of life in good health they bring. But there are exemptions.
Costs can go higher for end-of-life care, for example. But if a drug doesn't meets the criteria, we don't buy it.
This is not the only NHS cost-control mechanism: doctors have budgets to watch. And the total drug bill is capped.
If we overspend, the pharmaceutical companies pay a rebate. But NICE controls which drugs enter the main NHS bloodstream.
This process creates a political problem. Rejecting cancer drugs makes front-page news. It could make the whole NICE system politically toxic - hence why the CDF exists.
The role of the CDF is to shield NICE from campaigners.
But the argument about cancer has distracted us from other problems that the NICE system introduces.
For example, imagine NICE approves a new drug, so hospitals have to offer it. But, to pay for it, hospitals have to cut other treatments for other diseases that might be more efficient than the new product? That happens a lot.
Mr Lansley wanted to change the way we say which drugs the NHS can use when he was health secretary.
Rather than have a system where the NHS just says "yes" or "no", he wanted a process where the NHS would say to the companies: "We want this drug and we will pay £2,000 for a drug of this quality."
This is hardly novel: it's how much of the world works. But changing to his idea - known as "value-based pricing" (VBP) - would also mean a lot of change for the NHS.
Some could be good.
For example, if you are willing to set prices drug-by-drug and disease-by-disease, you can incorporate a wider range of issues into your assessment of value for money.
Technical assessments made by NICE could be supplemented by other work.
Mr Lansley wanted us to be willing to pay more for drugs that save money by reducing a patient's need for carers. So we could raise the maximum price we would be willing to pay for a given treatment for Alzheimer's, say.
We could also systematically pay more for things like mental health treatments, because we need to encourage so much research in that area.
We could do the same to encourage breakthrough research like the new post-statin cholesterol-busters.
And VBP could well lead to a pricing system that lets through a lot more cancer drugs on a more rational basis. Lots are innovative and some of their benefits are not fully captured by the current system.
The system would assume we would buy any drug at a price we would fix based on what it is worth to us, rather than simply saying "yes" or "no" to a price based on the pharmaceutical companies' assessments.
Still, changing this would be tough. The pharmaceutical companies do like free pricing. That's because the UK price can be used as a reference price for selling abroad.
The NHS would also need to cut prices for a lot of drugs. It can't be a one-way ratchet, where it only promises to pay more for stuff.
But there's no guarantee we could save money. There's also no guarantee we'd be good at it, or that we really would have enough pricing power to direct drug research.
A lot of health economists like the idea of VBP, but worry about implementation.
George Freeman, the responsible minister, said VBP "might involve a 10-year programme of deep and long-term change, but we are definitely committed to embracing it and to laying a policy foundation for it."
The argument about cancer drugs will be reignited in March.
This month, NHS England revealed that 25 treatments might no longer be funded by it. They are too expensive or ineffective even for the fund, officials say.
Those decisions will be finalised then, and patients who have been denied drugs will start coming forward soon afterwards.
When this starts again, it's fair to reflect that the CDF isn't really fair on patients of other diseases.
But we should be thinking about whether the CDF is the problem, or whether it is a drug pricing system built around just saying "yes" or "no".
WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT: You may find some of these images distressing.
It was James' first experience with the small unmanned aircraft but it ended in disaster, nearly blinding him and leaving him with serious injuries.
"It all happened so quickly. I didn't realise what it could actually do," James, 43, told the BBC.
On Saturday, the government announced plans to introduce drone registration and safety awareness courses for owners of drones.
Aviation minister Lord Callanan said it would help counter the misuse of drones, reduce the inadvertent breaching of airspace restrictions and protect the public.
James, who lives on the outskirts of Radstock, Somerset, went to spend the day with his friend at Monmouth Beach, Lyme Regis.
His friend, who owned the drone, had taken a few safety lessons but it was the first time they had tried it solo.
"The landing gear wasn't coming down. It was hovering just over two metres from the ground. So I went to grab it so my friend could turn it off.
"I held it for about six seconds until all of a sudden, the landing gear came down on my fingers. I immediately let go and then it hit my arms and face.
"I could see the tendons in my right thumb and the deep cuts on my arms."
"I was taken to hospital where the doctors operated to make sure my tendons and muscles weren't severed and stitched me back up.
"The drone also hit my eye and I was very close to losing my eyesight," James added.
"I've had to take unpaid leave from work which has been difficult as I have a wife and two children to support."
Now, three weeks on from the incident, James says he is recovering and could see himself using drones again.
But he says he would ensure to be fully aware of all the risks involved.
Commenting on the new government plans, he added: "I think it's a good idea because we shouldn't have them in wrong hands.
"What if a child had been in my place? They're like kitchen knives on the ends of these blades. It's very frightening."
Many airports have reported near misses between drones and aircraft. Last November, two orb-shaped drones got as close as 500m to a passenger jet flying into Heathrow Airport.
Thirty minutes after the incident, another passenger jet approaching Heathrow flew within just 50m of what is believed to have been one of the drones.
The UK government says the introduction of new measures both prioritises "protecting the public" while also "maximising the full potential of drones".
Last week, the UK's first police drone unit launched in Devon, Cornwall and Dorset.

Previously a licence was only needed to watch live broadcasts, so catch-up content was technically exempt from the £145.50 annual fee.
But due to a change in the law, a licence will be needed to download or watch BBC programmes on demand.
Those who already have a TV licence will not be affected.
The change comes after the government said it wanted to modernise the current system, so those watching catch-up TV do not get "a free ride".
"When the licence fee was invented, video on demand did not exist," former Culture Secretary John Whittingdale said in March.
"The BBC works on the basis that all who watch it pay for it. Giving a free ride to those who enjoy Sherlock or Bake Off an hour, a day or a week after they are broadcast was never intended and is wrong."
The new rules apply to all devices used to access iPlayer - including laptops, smartphones, tablets, TV streaming devices and games consoles, as well as through third-party services such as Sky, Virgin or BT.
However, a TV licence will still not be needed for watching other on demand services, such as ITV Player, All4, My5 or Netflix.
TV Licensing said fewer than 2% of households would be affected by the change and would "not affect the huge majority of households which are already licensed".
It added all unlicensed households would be notified of the change in law and a publicity campaign to promote awareness will be carried out before 1 September.
TV Licensing is also pushing awareness for students, many of whom will be affected at the start of the new academic year.
Simon Crump and Calvin Payne were arrested over a campaign to protect a 100-year-old plane tree on 2 November.
Protesters gathered outside the city's magistrates' court ahead of the men's appearance on Thursday.
Mr Payne, 44, and Mr Crump, 56, pleaded not guilty to the charges and will stand trial on 9 March.
More stories from Sheffield and South Yorkshire
The two men, both from Sheffield, were charged under Section 241 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, following the protest against plans to cut down the tree in Marden Road, Nether Edge.
The tree was cut down as part of a £2bn scheme to improve streets and get rid of diseased, damaging or dangerous trees.
As a result of the ongoing campaign to protect many of the city's trees, the council set up an independent panel to advise on proposed tree works which attract a certain level of opposition.
In a speech in Nairobi, he said his father's homeland had "come so far in just my lifetime".
But he also said corruption, terrorism and tribal or ethnic division were threats to its future.
"Kenya is at a crossroads, a moment filled with peril but enormous promise," he said.
Young Kenyans nowadays did not have to serve a colonial master or leave the country - like his grandfather and father had had to, Mr Obama said.
"Because of Kenya's progress, because of your potential, you can build your future right here, right now," he said to applause from a huge audience at a sports stadium in the capital, Nairobi.
But he warned that despite the country's political stability, tribal and ethnic divisions could be stirred up.
"A politics that's based on only tribe and ethnicity is doomed to tear a country apart. It is a failure - a failure of imagination," he said.
However, he praised the country for emerging from the ethnic violence that erupted after the disputed 2007 election.
President Obama also warned that the "cancer" of corruption was costing the country 250,000 jobs.
And he condemned the repression of women - including female genital mutilation and forced marriage, which he said did not belong in the 21st Century - adding that the best use of development aid was to spend it on girls' education.
He also urged Kenya to "embrace diversity", a clear reference to gay rights.
Security has been tight for Mr Obama's two-day visit to Kenya.
The trip, which began on Friday, is his first visit as president to the land where his father was born.
Mr Obama has now flown to Ethiopia, the first US president to visit the country. He will also become the first US leader to address the 54-member African Union (AU) on Tuesday.
AU Commission chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma described the trip to Ethiopia as a "historic visit" that would "broaden and deepen the relationship between the AU and the US".
On Saturday, Mr Obama praised Africa's economic and business potential in a speech at a business summit.
He also visited a memorial for those killed in the 1998 US embassy bombing in Nairobi.
After holding bilateral talks, President Obama and President Kenyatta said they were "united against terrorism".
But they differed sharply in their positions on gay rights. While Mr Obama spoke strongly against discrimination, Mr Kenyatta said Kenya did not share the same values.
Campese, 31, has been out since June after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament.
"He's out in Australia at the moment and is getting some very good treatment," Chester told BBC Radio Humberside.
"He's ahead of schedule and we're confident that he will be right for game one."
Fellow Robins half-back Albert Kelly also missed the closing stages of the season with a knee injury.
The 24-year-old scored 15 tries in 20 Super League appearances in 2015 and Chester believes the team's chances will be boosted by having the duo available more regularly.
"His knee's fine and he's fit and raring to go," Chester said.
"We just need to make sure that those two guys are out there on the field at the same time next year because we are a better team when they are playing well."
He added: "Albert's a player I'd like to see here long-term. We've got to make him as happy as possible and I'm confident if we do that then he'll be here for a long time."
The Ordsall Chord will link Piccadilly and Victoria but has 30 "heritage assets" on the route.
Critics focused on the former Liverpool Road station - a terminus on the world's first passenger railway which opened in 1830 - which will be cut off.
A judicial review of the government's backing of the scheme was unsuccessful.
Ministers had decided the public benefits associated with the Ordsall Chord outweighed any harm to the site.
And the judge said she could find "no flaw" in the government planning inspector's conclusions.
As a result of the new rail link, Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) will lose its connection to the main line.
The museum's site is part of the former Liverpool Road Station, the original Manchester terminus of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
The station, the house in which the station master once lived and a warehouse building dating to 1830 are all Grade I listed and sites of pilgrimage for railway buffs.
Construction of the line will also involve the demolition of the Girder Bridge and the Cast Iron Bridge.
Mark Whitby, a former president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, said in his challenge that running the new line further to the west, across Middlewood Locks, would cause far less damage to the historic buildings.
Not enough account had been taken of the serious harm that would be caused, he warned.
But Mrs Justice Lang said the governmentinspector, Brendan Lyons, had given "considerable weight and importance" to the desirability of preserving them.
The viaduct will enable an extra two fast trains per hour between Manchester Victoria and Liverpool and Leeds and Manchester, plus a direct service through Manchester city centre to Manchester Airport.
The scheme is part of the multi-million pound Northern Hub upgrade for rail services across the North of England.

Head coach Eddie Jones has confirmed Daly, 24, will make his first international start, replacing Bath's Jonathan Joseph at outside centre.
Wood, 30, will line up at open-side flanker for his first England appearance in more than a year.
Debutants Kyle Sinckler, Nathan Hughes and Ben Te'o are named on the bench.
Jonny May returns on the wing, while second row Courtney Lawes wins his 50th cap.
Daly, who has won five caps as a replacement, will form a new midfield partnership with Saracens' Owen Farrell.
"We've picked a matchday 23 with a blend of experience and youth," said Jones.
The Australian is without injured back-row contenders James Haskell, Maro Itoje, Jack Clifford, Sam Jones and Mike Williams, while winger Anthony Watson has a broken jaw.
"It's a fantastic opportunity to show how much depth we have in English rugby," added Jones.
"With a few influential players not available for selection, this is a great opportunity for some of the new faces to put both feet forward and we're backing them to do the job for us."
With Daly starting, Joseph - who had been struggling with a groin injury - drops to the bench.
Former England captain Mike Tindall told BBC Radio 5 live Daly's selection was not a big shock.
"I was lucky to play with him at Barbarians - he's just got a fantastic skill-set and the ability to beat people," said the World Cup winner.
"Elliot is a little bit more classy. He will beat you by subtlety rather than when Jonathan Joseph will stand up and go around you."
Back row Josh Beaumont and hooker Tommy Taylor are the two players to drop out of Jones' initial 25-man squad, but will travel as reserves.
South Africa are experiencing their worst run of results for a decade, having lost five of their past nine matches, including a record 57-15 home defeat by New Zealand.
Former Springbok Hennie le Roux believes the visitors are "ripe for the taking".
South Africa head coach Allister Coetzee has given a debut to centre Francois Venter, who lines up in the midfield alongside Damian de Allende.
Coetzee has opted for a heavy forward pack, with lock Pieter-Steph du Toit and Willem Alberts selected on the flanks.
"This game cannot be played without physicality or gainline dominance," Coetzee said. "This pack of forwards that we have selected suits the way we want to play."
Coetzee also says he accepts the criticism of his side from former Springbok players, but is confident his team is moving in the right direction.
"We live in a country of opinions - but we draw belief from within," he added.
"There is a plan, the players understand the plan and we are putting everything into getting the execution of the plan right."

After struggling to settle on a gameplan so far this year, Coetzee's selection suggests the Springboks are reverting to type.
With three locks in the forward pack, South Africa will target England in the set-piece, and with wet weather forecast at Twickenham, we could be in for a tightly-fought, attritional encounter.
England are heavy favourites for good reason, but while South Africa have been poor so far in 2016, no side with the likes of Tendai Mtawarira, Eben Etzebeth, Lood de Jager and Willem Alberts should be taken lightly.
England team: Mike Brown (Harlequins); Marland Yarde (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Owen Farrell (Saracens), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby); George Ford (Bath Rugby), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers); Mako Vunipola (Saracens), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers); Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints); Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Tom Wood (Northampton Saints), Billy Vunipola (Saracens).
Replacements: Jamie George (Saracens), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Kyle Sinckler (Harlequins), Dave Attwood (Bath Rugby), Nathan Hughes (Wasps), Danny Care (Harlequins), Ben Te'o (Worcester Warriors), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby).
South Africa team: Willie le Roux (Canon Eagles), Ruan Combrinck (Xerox Golden Lions), Francois Venter (Toyota Free State Cheetahs), Damian de Allende (DHL Western Province), JP Pietersen (Leicester Tigers), Patrick Lambie (Cell C Sharks), Rudy Paige (Vodacom Blue Bulls); Tendai Mtawarira (Cell C Sharks), Adriaan Strauss (Vodacom Blue Bulls), Vincent Koch (Saracens), Eben Etzebeth (DHL Western Province), Lood de Jager (Vodacom Blue Bulls), Willem Alberts (Stade Francais), Pieter-Steph du Toit (DHL Western Province), Warren Whiteley (Docomo Red Hurricanes).

Mae dyfodol y cyhoeddiad yn ansicr gan fod Tindle, y perchnogion presennol, yn trafod trosglwyddo'r papur i berchnogion newydd erbyn diwedd Mehefin.
Mae disgwyl i Tindle wneud datganiad yn fuan ynglŷn â dyfodol y papur.
Dywedodd Cymdeithas yr Iaith bod "achos cryf" dros roi mwy o arian i'r Cymro.
Cafodd Y Cymro ei gyhoeddi am y tro cyntaf yn 1932, ac mae ei swyddfeydd presennol ym Mhorthmadog.
Dywedodd Carl Morris, llefarydd cyfryngau Cymdeithas yr Iaith: "Credwn fod achos cryf dros gynyddu'n sylweddol y gefnogaeth ariannol i'r Cymro fel bod modd diwygio a buddsoddi i ddatblygu'r papur a'i wefan ymhellach, gan gydweithio gydag eraill lle bo'n bosibl.
"Mae'n bwysig iawn i'r llywodraeth sicrhau bod sawl ffynhonnell newyddion Cymraeg, yn lle ein bod yn gorfod dibynnu ar un neu ddau ddarparwr.
"Yn nhermau darlledu cenedlaethol, y BBC yw'r unig ddarparydd newyddion Cymraeg ac mae hynny'n peryglu democratiaeth. Mae angen ymyrraeth y Llywodraeth er mwyn sicrhau nad oes rhagor o ganoli yn digwydd."
Mewn ymateb, dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru: "Mae cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru i'r diwydiant cyhoeddi yn cael ei sianelu drwy Gyngor Llyfrau Cymru a nhw sy'n penderfynu pa deitl sy'n cael faint o arian ac ar ba sail."
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y Cyngor Llyfrau: "Rydym yn croesawu'r ffaith bod grŵp newydd â diddordeb mewn cyhoeddi'r Cymro.
"Byddwn yn eu cyfarfod yn fuan a disgwylir cais ffurfiol ganddynt am gymhorthdal."
Fell, who was the county's top scorer in the County Championship in 2015, had an operation in October after a tumour was discovered.
"I got the results on 1 November and they broke the good news that it hadn't spread," the 22-year-old said.
"It was really the best news that I could have hoped for."
Fell is now back in training at New Road and is set to spend part of the winter in Australia playing grade cricket in Perth.

"I was quite lucky. I was fairly stupid in the fact I didn't get it checked straight away," Fell said.
"When they did analyse the tumour, it was fairly big at the stage they operated.
"I think if I had left it any longer and I had gone to Australia without being checked, who knows how bad it could have been.
"Because I felt no different, that is why I didn't bother to get it checked sooner than I did."
Fell has chosen not to follow up his operation with any further treatment on the advice of his specialist.
"I was recommended by the professor I saw that if you can avoid chemotherapy it is definitely something I should do - especially as a sportsman - as the side effects and consequences can be quite severe," he said.
"It is something I want to avoid. I've been told there is a 65% chance it is all clear and a 35% chance it can come back and if it comes back, it will most likely be in the next three months and then I would have to go through three cycles of chemotherapy as opposed to two now.
"I've got back into training which has been a bit of a shock to the system this week but it's great to be back - playing cricket is the best thing about it."

For Chinese shares though, the first trading session of 2016 has resulted in more of the same.
More panic, more pessimism and more people selling their shares because of - well frankly, other people selling their shares.
So why did Chinese shares fall by 7% today, causing trading to be halted? And what does it say about confidence in the Chinese market and more importantly - the economy?
Here are four things you should know about the stock market falls in China today:
This was what most analysts said was the reason behind why shares fell. Manufacturing data contracted again - for the tenth straight month. The figures are further demonstration of the ongoing narrative about China's economy, that state led investment into manufacturing is slowing down and that the economy is transitioning into services. China releases services data on Wednesday - which should show things are improving.
This was the first day that China's new "circuit breaker" came into effect, and that's why when shares plunged by 5% trading was halted by 15 minutes. When trading resumed, and shares continued to fall by 7%, trading was suspended altogether. The measures were created last year after the stock market crash in China, but only came into effect today. Circuit breakers in themselves aren't unusual - lots of countries have them for individual stocks, or for a few minutes - but it is unusual to stop trading altogether for a share fall of 7%. An indication perhaps of just how much the authorities want to avoid another crash.
There was a sharp depreciation in the yuan just ahead of the plunge in Chinese shares. China cut the yuan's value against the dollar, making it weaker than 6.5 for the first time in more than four-and-a-half years. There's speculation that the People's Bank of China has abandoned trying to hold the yuan up against the dollar, which means it's signalling that it won't step in to shore up the yuan. There are concerns that this indicates money is flowing out of China, and that the fall could get out of control. Some investors may be worried about what would happen if the yuan continues to weaken - and the fact that policy makers are allowing it to weaken shows they're concerned about the economy's outlook too.
There's nothing like the herd mentality to get things started for the new year. Retail investors in the Chinese stock market are often driven by sentiment and tend to follow the crowd. When they hear of some bad news from brokers or their friends, and other people start selling - they start selling too. Falling prices attract more people to dump their stocks, and although shares are still above their lows, authorities will be keen to avoid the kind of share market crash we saw last summer.
So what do today's falls tell you about the fate of the Chinese economy in 2016? Well, nothing you didn't know already. China is slowing down, people are nervous and that means volatile trading for the rest of the year.
Happy New Year everyone. If the first day of trading is anything to go by, it is definitely going to be an interesting one.
Heurelho Gomes guessed correctly to save both penalties from Berahino in the 67th and 87th minutes.
Ben Watson got the FA Cup semi-finalists' winner, volleying home a near-post corner in the first half.
The result moves Watford above West Brom into 12th on 41 points, 11 points clear of the relegation zone.
Relive all the action for the Hawthorns
History repeated itself for Gomes as the Brazilian became the first goalkeeper to save two penalties in two Premier League games.
He first achieved the feat playing for Tottenham against Sunderland in 2010, saving twice from Darren Bent.
Gomes conceded the first penalty against West Brom, tripping Berahino in the area, after the striker latched on to a through ball from Stephane Sessegnon.
But Gomes dived to his right to save the 22-year-old's shot.
Then 20 minutes later, Sessegnon was brought down by Etienne Capoue, and Berahino once again stepped forward to take the spot kick.
This time Berahino shot to the bottom left corner, but with little power, and Gomes was there again to save the day for Watford.
In eight days' time Watford face Crystal Palace at Wembley for a place in the FA Cup final.
Manager Quique Sanchez Flores had warned his players against becoming distracted by their trip to Wembley, but they put in a composed performance at The Hawthorns.
Flores made four changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Everton last weekend but he was still able to field a strong starting XI with top-scorers Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo up front.
That pair failed to see much of the ball, with just one shot on target between them.
Instead it was Watford's rearguard effort that saw them home, defending deeply against a West Brom side who enjoyed the lion's share of possession.
The home side struggled in the final third and the two penalties aside, it was Gareth McAuley who had the best chance early in the second half, seeing his header was tipped over the bar by Gomes.
Gomes told BBC Radio 5 live: "I did the same against Sunderland [in 2010] but that was a different feeling as we lost the game. This means a lot - it is great for me and most importantly great for the club.
"There is always more responsibility on the player taking the penalty than on me. He has the possibility to shoot anywhere and I need to be prepared to react quickly.
"I always try and wait for the penalty taker's decision. I never think about what he will do, I just waited for him."
West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "It's a cruel game at times. I thought we played really well today - 40 crosses, two penalties - but it was just not our day."
"Good strikers miss penalties, and Saido is a good player - this will only make him better and stronger. He just has to bounce back. The players have been great with him and he will feel it as much as anyone.
"Saido wanted to take [the second penalty], and some top, top players have missed penalties, players who have had the nous to take the next one and that is what Saido did. I hope if we get another penalty in the next few games he is the one to smash it in."
Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores: "It was strange match - not too much football and both teams did not play really well.
"I'm not sure if we have enough points but what is most important is that we have to keep improving. It's creating a very good atmosphere around the team and will be important for the next match."
Watford have a trip to Wembley on Sunday for the FA Cup semi-final at 16:00 BST. The Hornets' next Premier League game is against relegated Aston Villa on 30 April. With 41 points, Watford look sure to play successive Premier League seasons for the first time.
West Brom, who are on 40 points and also look safe, face a trip to Emirates Stadium to play Arsenal in the league on Thursday evening.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced the measures in its final UK air show safety regulation review following the fatal disaster in 2015.
It will also strengthen the requirements of post-display reports to "reflect the importance of feedback".
A vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to the A27 on 22 August, killing 11.
The aircraft had been performing aerobatics at the annual Shoreham Airshow when it plummeted to the ground.
This year's show has been cancelled.
The head of the CAA, Dame Deirdre Hutton, said the measures were being brought in so the public had "every confidence that UK air shows meet the highest safety standards".
She added: "We began this review immediately after the accident at Shoreham last summer with the sole purpose of doing all that we can to make UK civil air shows even safer.
"It has been an extensive review, looking closely at all aspects of air show safety to identify any areas where the system can be strengthened.
"Air shows are enjoyed by millions of people up and down the country and we want them to be successful."
The "enhanced measures" include:
The CAA said restrictions introduced following the crash in August would remain in place until the Air Accidents Investigations Branch (AAIB) had published its final report.
These measures saw Hawker Hunter jets grounded, ex-military jets restricted to fly-pasts over land and air shows subject to enhanced risk assessments.
The CAA also increased its air show charges from 1 April - by up to £2,695 for larger displays - to fund the measures.
Sywell air display in Northamptonshire will not go ahead because of the "likelihood of much higher CAA fees" and the people behind a display at Thockmorton in Worcestershire have threatened to cancel their event.
Organisers of the Manchester Airshow have blamed the timing of the review on the cancellation of its event this year.
Dame Deirdre said the CAA was working with the air-show community to make sure the "measures are implemented" for the upcoming display season and beyond".
The CAA is responsible for allowing air shows to go ahead and monitoring their safety.
She died in a nursing home in Osaka, the city she was born in on 5 March 1898.
She is survived by three children, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Ms Okawa was recognised in 2013 as the world's oldest living person, as well as the world's oldest living woman, by Guinness World Records.
While celebrating her birthday earlier this month, Ms Okawa said that 117 years did not seem such a long time.
She also said the key to a long life was getting at least eight hours of sleep a night and eating sushi - her favourite food.
She said she particularly enjoyed mackerel on vinegar-steamed rice.
Her birthday celebration was shown on national television in Japan.
Born to a kimono-maker, Mrs Okawa married her husband Yukio in 1919. They lived in Kobe where he ran a business. When he died in 1931. she moved back to Osaka.
She lived across three centuries, seeing four emperors of Japan, six British monarchs, and 20 US presidents.
Craig Glenday, the editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said previously of Ms Okawa: "Her impressive longevity... is an inspiration and a testament to the Japanese lifestyle."
Ms Okawa's name has since been taken down for the entry for the world's oldest living person on the organisation's site.
It is not yet known who now holds that record, but the site does state that the oldest living man is Sakari Momoi, also of Japan, who turned 112 in February.
The oldest person who has ever lived according to Guinness was Jeanne Calment of France, who lived 122 years and 164 days. She died in August 1997.
The company said net profits rose to €1.6bn (£1.1bn), up from €1.3bn a year earlier, when it was hit by one-off charges.
The Munich-based carmaker reaffirmed its forecast for increased sales and profit for the full year.
But it warned about the impact of the slowdown in China's economy and of increased competition in the US.
BMW added that it had not been asked to talk to US regulators about emissions testing in the wake of the VW scandal.
BMW said sales for July to September in Europe, the destination of more than 40% of its deliveries, were up 6.9% to 545,062 vehicles.
But it noted that increasing competition in the US, spending on new products and technology, rising personnel costs and slowing demand in China could weigh on its profits for the rest of the year.
"The results are good but the forward perspective looks mediocre," said Frankfurt-based Bankhaus Metzler analyst Juergen Pieper. "The outlook doesn't reveal a particularly large amount of optimism and I don't see great momentum in 2016."
A spokesman for BMW said the company had not been asked to talk to the US regulator that caught rival carmaker Volkswagen cheating emissions tests.
"We have made our vehicles available," the spokesman said when executives were asked on a conference call about BMW's own test results.
"The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has tested them. We have not received any indications one way or the other.
"There have been no talks with the EPA," he added.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder, who signed a new contract at Forest earlier this week, has joined the Daggers until 2 April.

The work has busted a myth that the snakes suffocate their victims.
Researchers took measurements - including blood pressure and heart activity - from anaesthetised rats gripped by the snakes.
This showed that the lethal grip restricted blood flow severely enough to cut off the blood flow supplying oxygen to its vital organs.
The findings are published in the Journal of Experimental Biology.
This "circulatory arrest", the scientists say, is a much more efficient, rapid and definite way of finishing off prey than expected.
As the lead researcher, Prof Scott Boback, from Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, explained, restricting blood flow to the brain would also make a rodent "pass out within seconds".
The researchers believe that recording during a constriction could reveal useful details about how crush injuries cause complex tissue damage in humans.
But Prof Boback and his team are interested primarily in the fundamental question of how and why these snakes evolved their unique killing method.
"The thing I find fascinating is that all snakes have is their mouth to engage with prey," said Prof Boback.
"A [constrictor] has to hold a potentially dangerous animal right next to it.
"And that animal's fighting for its life, so it will absolutely take chunks out the snake if it can."
He and his colleagues realised that, in order to measure this life-or-death battle, they would need to record the very point of death of the prey.
They presented anaesthetised, unconscious lab rats to boa constrictors, and recorded from the rats' arteries and heart as they were squeezed.
The scientists also took blood samples before and after, revealing how the blood chemistry of a constricted victim changed.
From this, they concluded that the constriction "shuts off" blood flow and oxygen supply to the organs.
And this lack of oxygen, or ischaemia, rapidly destroys the tissue of the oxygen-hungry brain, heart and liver.
"If the snake is wrapping around the chest, it could also be limiting breathing, too," said Dr Boback.
"But an absence of blood flow will cause death more rapidly than suffocation.
"So it could be considered a much more precise and efficient method of killing."
This study is the first to test for this circulatory arrest directly - measuring from the body of the snake's prey.
Prof Brad Moon, from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, has studied snake movements, including constriction, for two decades.
He said the study showed constrictors could "squeeze prey hard enough" to interfere with blood pressures, blood gases, blood chemistry, and even heart function.
"It isn't the first test of circulatory arrest from constriction," Prof Moon told BBC News, "but it is the first direct test that measured blood pressures and [heart activity].
"It shows that constriction is stronger, faster and more effective than expected."
In a previous study, the same Dickinson College team discovered that the snakes were able to sense their victim's heartbeat, and stopped squeezing only when it stopped.

The number working in Wales has fallen 42% in recent years, but the workload had increased tenfold, it has claimed.
And the union has also said district nurses would prefer to have more time to spend with each patient.
The Welsh Government said the number of nurses working in the community had increased overall.
Peter Meredith-Smith, associate director of employment relations at RCN Wales, said: "We do have concerns as to whether there is enough investment in the nursing workforce within our community services to ensure the highest quality of care to Welsh citizens.
"We also have real concerns about the pressure being experienced by frontline nurses working in community settings.
"They are, without doubt, over-worked and have less time to spend with each patient than they would wish to have."
BBC Wales' new political programme on S4C, O'r Senedd, spoke to Sian Lewis - a district nurse in Cardigan - who said her team's caseload had "doubled" over the past 10 years, seeing about 50 patients a day.
"Trying to fit 50 people into a day means we're busy and we have to drive quite quickly from one to another," she said.
"People's expectations are huge and sometimes we can't meet those expectations because we're so busy."
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Health boards are keen to develop a more effective skills mix at local level, using highly-experienced district nurses to direct, lead and advise community nursing teams.
"As a result, the overall number of nurses providing community services has increased by 17% over the past six years."
Last week, Health Secretary Vaughan Gething announced £95m to train more healthcare professionals, including district nurses.
I spent a morning with Sian Lewis, a district nurse in the Cardigan area.
She told me things were "much busier" now than when she first started working in the community 10 years ago.
"Paperwork is more of a thing now and the patients have all got older so there's more of them with chronic conditions," she said.
There was a warm welcome waiting when she arrived at Tom and Muriel James' home.
Mr James, 92, said he would be in a home if it was not for the district nurses and his wife called them "angels".
Ms Lewis' visits mean the couple can avoid having to go to hospital or their GP surgery.
There is a political push to reduce pressure on other parts of the health service by providing more care in the community.
But that, of course, places greater strain on those nurses who travel from one home to another and whose caseloads are not limited to the number of beds on a hospital ward.
Hywel Dda University Health Board, which is responsible for NHS care in the area, said it had developed a number of "new and exciting" services to support district nurse teams and these all work in an "integrated way to provide the highest level of community care".
"The health board is very proud of the quality of the work accomplished by our district nurses and we wish to reiterate our gratitude on behalf of our patients and partners," said a spokesman.
O'r Senedd is on S4C at 22:00 GMT on Tuesday 28 February
McLaughlin made 200 appearances for the Cod Army after joining the League One club from Shrewsbury in July 2012.
The Northern Ireland international featured in 42 games in all competitions last season.
"He's a solid, reliable right-back, who is first and foremost a very good defender," Millwall manager Neil Harris told the club website.
The 25-year-old has won 26 caps for Northern Ireland, with his only goal to date coming in the 4-0 World Cup qualifier win over Azerbaijan in Belfast in November.
McLaughlin made his debut as a substitute against Italy in October 2011 and was part of manager Michael O'Neill's squad at the Euro 2016 finals in France.

Since 2014, midwives at Westmorland General Hospital's Helme Chase unit have been on call overnight and at weekends if there are no patients to care for.
The University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust said it has saved 3,000 working hours.
The NHS Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) wants the change made permanent.
Eleanor Hodgson, director of children and families for the CCG, said the majority of mothers now have their babies at consultant-led maternity units at Barrow and Lancaster.
She said: "The interim change (at Helme Chase) released more than 3,000 clinical hours in the first 15 months alone.
"This has enabled the Trust to use its midwives more effectively to improve the maternity care it provides and now we are proposing that the on-call arrangement is made permanent."
About 10 babies a month are born at Helme Chase, which can be used by women assessed as having a low risk pregnancy.
In 2013 the average was 17.
The CCG is holding a six week consultation.
Liberal Democrat MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale Tim Farron has previously criticised the changes to working hours saying the unit should be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
More than 1,000 people have signed a petition started by the MP.
Paul Bradley, 53, was sentenced to eight months in prison suspended for 24 months after admitting causing death by careless driving.
Mariola Martin from Swindon died on the A303 Mere Bypass in July 2014.
She had stopped on the inside lane where her Mazda MX-5 was struck from behind by the articulated lorry.
At a Winchester Crown Court hearing, Bradley - from Cullompton in Devon - was also disqualified from driving for 30 months from his original suspension date.
Ivor Bethell was charged following enquiries as part of Operation Daybreak, which was originally set up to investigate historical child abuse at Nottinghamshire children's homes.
However, the BBC understands his alleged offences are not related to abuse in children's homes.
All the offences relate to one victim.
The 61-year-old, of Barnhill Road, Wembley, was due to appear at Mansfield Magistrates' Court this morning.
Charges facing Bethell:
Operation Daybreak was set up to investigate allegations of abuse at former children's homes across the county between the 1960s and 2000.
In the course of police enquiries, a number of other offences not related to abuse in children's homes are being investigated.
Police confirmed an operation was under way in a street close to the city's main station.
Swiss reports said the three wounded were all adults who had been found in Eisgasse, a small street where an Islamic centre is based.
There was no indication who carried out the shooting but local media said the attacker had fled the scene.
It was unclear if the Islamic Centre was targeted in the attack, which took place shortly before 17:30 (16:30 GMT) on Monday.
Police cordoned off the centre as they searched the building, reports said.
England was awarded the 2021 World Cup in October after seeing off a rival bid from the United States and Canada, with North America recommended for 2025.
The tournament has always previously been played in Europe or Australasia.
RLIF chairman Nigel Wood said the award is "a historic moment in the global development of rugby league".
"It is exciting that our sport is expanding into a new destination for our premier event," he added.
"The USA and Canada provide world-class stadiums allied to a significant multi-cultural population which made the bid so persuasive."
The Toronto Wolfpack - Canada's first professional team - will compete in English rugby league's third tier in this coming season as part of the game's development in North America.
The exotic pet, which is 12 months old, was taken from Lathom Pets and Aquatics in Ormskirk on Tuesday raising concern over his "vulnerable" shell.
Following an appeal, the pet shop revealed on Friday that the tortoise was "anonymously dropped off" at the garden centre tills.
Lancashire Police confirmed it was investigating the theft.
The first thing [the tortoise] did was go straight over to the food bowl to fill up his little tummy, the pet shop reported.
Co-owner Katherine Broxholme said of the incident: "I was serving, chatting..and getting change out of the till for a woman I was serving. The tortoise tank is just a few feet away from the till. We only have five tortoises and when I checked later there were only four."
CCTV footage confirmed a man had taken the tortoise, she added.
Police said the tortoise was valued at £120.
The number of calls to the force flagged up as "cyber-related" in the last year has increased by nearly 150.
Chief Constable Mick Creedon did not confirm how many officers might have to be taken off the street.
He said it was important to meet this "new demand" on the force.
A recent report to the county's police and crime commissioner, said the extent of online crime was "unknown" as current crime figures reflected more "traditional" forms of crime.
However, police told the BBC the number of crimes identified as "cyber crimes" had risen significantly over the last year.
This was put down to likely being due to a better understanding of the issue and improved recording of offences by frontline officers.
Calls to the force flagged as "cyber-related" have risen from 269 in early 2014 to 417 in the last quarter.
The force said that more than 200 cases related to activity on Facebook alone between September 2009 and December 2013.
Mr Creedon said: "It's really important that we have a police service that's able to meet that new demand and not just the old demand that we're used to."
The force added it had trained hundreds of officers in digital investigations.

Shropshire Council has recommended the closure of Wakeman School in 2013, due to falling pupil numbers making it "financially unsustainable".
Lib Dem councillor Roger Evans said the plans would save only £300,000-£400,000 each year.
"There's 30,000 pupils in Shropshire. That's £10 per child going extra to every school in Shropshire," he said.
The proposals, announced by the Conservative-led authority on Wednesday, require approval by the cabinet group on 7 September.
From September some 240 pupils will be on roll at the Wakeman.
Mr Evans said falling numbers over recent years were due to rumours regarding the school's future.
Plans to close the Wakeman have centred on finances, rather than improving educational standards.
In March Ofsted reported that the Wakeman was a good school, with a good capacity for sustained improvement.
Last week the school also achieved its best ever GCSE results.
David Taylor, director of people services at Shropshire Council, said the school's closure would financially benefit the county overall, without damaging the pupils' quality of education.
"This is not an easy part of my job. But at the end of the day I've got to do what's right for all the children in Shropshire," he said.
Mr Taylor said the closure of the Wakeman would make about £1.75m "available for redistribution" to other schools per year.
Mr Taylor added that £1.3m of that sum would "follow the child".
That represents the total allocation for pupils at the Wakeman, a large portion of which would be spent on the cost of educating the pupils at another school.
The difference between the two figures (about £400,000) covers the annual saving made through closing the building, and the associated operational costs, such as administration, heating and electricity.
The council said the pupils could be accommodated at other schools and identified Meole Brace as the preferred option.
The number of secondary pupils in Shrewsbury is expected to rise from 2020.
The council said had not ruled out building another school on the edge of town if required, possibly through the resiting of an existing school.
Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) report said those on low incomes often paid above average for energy, telecoms and financial services.
Bigger bills makes their financial situation worse which further affects health and relationships, CAS said.
The "Paying More To Be Poor" report is based on research conducted by Ipsos Mori.
Researchers found that lower income Scots were more likely to use expensive pre-payment meters.
Less than a quarter of those who used the meters had switched their energy supplier in the last three years. Those living in the most deprived areas of the country were even less likely to switch suppliers, according to the report.
They were also more likely to use mobile phones on pricier pay-as-you-go plans, researchers said.
In addition, poorer people in Scotland were less likely to switch phone suppliers and more likely to be without a mobile at all - and so were hardest hit by the rise in landline costs.
Those polled were also questioned about financial services. The CAS said low income consumers would often take out credit or loans without understanding the full costs involved.
Others had no home contents insurance because they found it unaffordable.
CAS spokesman Patrick Hogan said: "Our new research today shows that many individuals' financial situations are made even worse because poverty levels limit their choices when it comes to accessing consumer services.
"So, if you are poor in Scotland today you pay more for basic services, and so become even poorer. This cannot be right, and needs to be addressed."
CAS has made a number of recommendations for addressing the problem, including raising awareness of "cost traps" and the importance of making informed choices.
Mr Hogan added: "The market must offer better value for consumers of all income levels. Poverty should not breed even more poverty."
The Scottish government said it shared the concerns about people on low incomes paying more for essential goods and services, and is taking action to tackle the issue.
A spokeswoman said: "The poverty premium was raised as an issue of particular concern by many people during our fairer Scotland discussions last year and we will be publishing our Fairer Scotland Action Plan soon which will respond to these issues."
William Liversage, 50, of Birkenhead, filmed jurors on a phone during the trial of a member of his family at Carlisle Crown Court in October 2014.
It is believed he was plotting to scare jurors and had a collection of masks including of a werewolf.
Liversage denied perverting the course of justice but was found guilty during a trial. He was jailed for three years.
The hearing at Carlisle Crown Court was told that the father of four was arrested while driving away from the court and his van was searched.
In addition to the rubber masks, recording equipment and a GPS tracker were found.
The trial of the family member was later halted.
Sentencing Liversage, Judge Barbara Forrester said she presumed he had hoped to be able to identify a juror and intimate them to interfere with the trial of the family member.
Prosecutor Brendan Burke said: "The Crown would say this crime was considered, organised and sophisticated and - were it not stopped - extremely frightening to whoever was going to be confronted at the end.
"We did say that confrontation would have happened, wearing one of these masks; which from one standpoint may be considered trivial or amusing, but in a confrontation of that nature very far from it."
The victim was named by local media as 27-year-old Ziad Awad, a relative of the Islamic Jihad militant being buried, Jaafar Awad.
An Israeli military spokesperson said soldiers had opened fire after funeral-goers threw rocks and petrol bombs.
The clashes took place in the town of Beit Ummar, near Hebron.
A doctor at Hebron's al-Ahli hospital told the Associated Press a man had died after being brought in with gunshot wounds.
Medical officials said several others had been hurt in clashes with Israeli troops.
According to an Israeli military spokesperson, soldiers had feared for their lives as protesters at the funeral threw rocks and petrol bombs and rolled burning car tyres at them.
The spokesperson said the soldiers responded with non-lethal "riot dispersal means" and then with 0.22-calibre "Ruger" bullets.
"Four hits were confirmed," the spokesperson said, adding that the military was investigating reports of a fatality.
The funeral was for a Palestinian militant who had been recently imprisoned by Israel. He was reportedly released early because of ill health.
The clash comes two days after a Palestinian man stabbed two Israeli soldiers in the northern West Bank before being shot dead by one of them.
Michael Martin's son, Chris Martin, was a fit 19-year-old student who played rugby for University College Cork at the time of his sudden death.
Two days after Christmas 2015, he woke up gasping for breath and died as his family tried to get medical help.
His father urged those with mild asthma to manage their condition properly.
"In a million years, I never thought asthma would kill him," Mr Martin said.
"I never thought asthma would kill anyone actually, being honest with you."
However, the condition causes, on average, the death of one person every week in the Republic of Ireland, according to the Asthma Society of Ireland.
The charity has set out to correct a "popular misconception" that only those with severe asthma are at risk of death.
Mr Martin has taken part in the society's latest awareness campaign, which is running on Irish TV and on social media from Saturday.
His son was diagnosed with asthma when he was about four years old, but had never been hospitalised with the condition.
He grew into an active teenager who "lived life to the full" and was involved in several sports, including surfing and mountaineering.
"Chris always carried his reliever inhaler and would use it while playing rugby," Mr Martin said.
"However, he would often forget to take his preventative medication. He might take it on a Monday or a Tuesday but then forget to take it on a Wednesday or Thursday.
"It wouldn't be until he got a bit chesty that he would remember to take it again."
He added that his son did not realised his asthma was not under control, or that he was at risk of a serious attack.
Mr Martin described how Chris went to bed as normal on the night of 26 December 2015, but woke at 06:00 the next the morning unable to breathe.
He said they tried to get him to a doctor so he could use a nebulizer, but Chris "keeled over" as he tried to get dressed, and died in front of his family.
Averil Power, chief executive of the Asthma Society of Ireland, said: "Unfortunately, Michael's story is not unique.
"We have been contacted by the families of other young people who died of asthma in the past 18 months, aged seven, 16, 19 and 21.
"Most were fit and active young people who had no idea they were at risk of dying of an asthma attack."
She added: "There is a popular misconception that only those with severe asthma are at risk.
"This is not the case. In fact, a 2014 study of asthma deaths in the UK found the majority of those who died had mild or moderate asthma and that under-use of preventer inhalers was a major factor."
Ms Power advised patients to take their preventative medicine "as prescribed, even when they are feeling well" and to alert their GP to problems.
"With proper care and treatment, most asthma deaths can be prevented", she added. | Teenagers who trekked across Dartmoor in the Ten Tors challenge have crossed the finish line.

The woman, married to a banker, was found dead near her home in Heidenheim in 2010. She had been kidnapped and fatally stabbed.
The 47-year-old suspect had denied murder and police said they had failed to match his DNA to the crime scene.
The woman's husband, who was head of a local bank, killed himself in 2011.
After the kidnapping in May 2010 he left €300,000 (£257,000) in ransom money at an agreed spot by the A7 trunk road, near Heidenheim, but it was never collected. Heidenheim lies 86km (53 miles) from the south-western city Stuttgart.
Contact with the kidnapper was lost and Maria Bögerl's body was discovered near a woodland the following month.
Police said that last July the man had told witnesses while he was drunk that he had carried out the murder. The conversation had been recorded on a mobile phone and had then been given to the police.
However, the suspect was only identified after a TV appeal on Wednesday night. He was arrested shortly afterwards at his home a few kilometres from Heidenheim.
He was released after detectives established that his DNA did not match traces found in the car used to abduct Maria Bögerl. Police said inquiries into the man would continue. | Police in southern Germany have freed a man they arrested over the 2010 kidnap and murder of Maria Bögerl - one of the country's biggest unsolved crimes. | 39,512,630 | 294 | 42 | false |
Matloob Hussain, Mohammed Sadiq and brothers Basharat, Nasser and Tayab Dad, were convicted at Sheffield Crown Court.
The offences date back to the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the girls were given alcohol and cannabis and intimidated into performing sex acts.
The men are due to be sentenced on 2 February.
More on this story from BBC Yorkshire
Amjad Ali, 36, of Hodthorpe in Worksop, pleaded guilty at a hearing last February to one count of sexual intercourse with a girl under 13. He will be sentenced with the others.
Mark Langan, Crown Prosecution Service lawyer, said the girls were subjected to "appalling abuse" and targeted because they were "naïve and vulnerable".
He said: "These men have been found guilty of a catalogue of vile sex offences against two young girls [who] were given alcohol and cannabis and intimidated into performing sexual acts.
"On one occasion, one was locked alone in a flat for hours without food, water or electricity.
Det Ch Insp Martin Tate, who oversaw the inquiry, said: "The court heard harrowing evidence from two very brave women whose childhoods were robbed by these men."
The girls, one of which was 12 at the time and the other 13 to 14, were "subjected to horrific sexual abuse", the officer added.
Det Ch Insp Tate said: "No child should ever have to experience what these women have had to endure. I hope today's result offers them both some resolution after so many years of anguish."
He thanked the women for their "support and courage" over the past two years, and their families and witnesses who played "vital roles" in convicting the men.

"It's just a lack of goals for me, we dominated the first 35 minutes. I thought we were outstanding. We have got to stick them in, somebody has got to step up and say 'I'm going to start scoring for Wycombe Wanderers'.
"With no money it is really tough to get players in, I haven't got a penny to spare, we will have to get players out before we get any more players in.
"I cannot fault the efforts of the players today - it's just sticking it in the opponents' net, and we will be working on that."
Luton boss Nathan Jones told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"I was really thrilled with the contribution from the Luton fans, they filled the away end and sang all the way through. We gave them a performance they can be proud of.
"I'm so, so proud of them today - what a shift, what a graft, I'm really proud of my team. Today we showed a different side to us - in the second half, we were outstanding."
The charity says nearly two-thirds of people fear a diagnosis would mean their life is over.
But it says an early diagnosis can actually help people to live as well as possible.
And it wants everyone to confront head-on the challenges posed by dementia.
In a survey of 2,000 adults, almost half thought they would have to stop driving immediately while one in five feared losing their partner or friends if they were diagnosed with dementia.
Nearly 60% thought they would struggle to join in conversations and almost half worried people would think they were "mad" if faced with a diagnosis.
But the charity said these myths about dementia were stopping people from getting the best possible treatment and also preventing them from planning for the future.
There are many possible symptoms of dementia, and anyone experiencing them is encouraged to see a doctor as soon as possible. Common symptoms include:

How can we keep Alzheimer's at bay?
One in three people surveyed said they didn't go and see their GP because they thought memory problems were just a natural part of the ageing process.
Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Society, said delays in seeking medical attention were something they wanted to change.
"Too many people are in the dark about dementia - many feel that a dementia diagnosis means someone is immediately incapable of living a normal life, while myths and misunderstandings continue to contribute to the stigma and isolation that many people will feel."
He said he wanted to reassure people that life doesn't end when dementia begins.
"There's no question that it can have a profound and devastating impact on people, their family and friends - but getting a timely diagnosis will enable people with dementia to live as well as possible."
There are around 850,000 people in the UK with a form of dementia - a figure that is predicted to rise to one million in less than 10 years and to two million by 2051.
The MSPs have been looking into the use of the machines, which allow players to bet on the outcome of games and events with fixed odds returns.
The games can include roulette, bingo, simulated horse and greyhound racing and a range of slot machine games.
The committee heard evidence that the machines were highly addictive.
And it was told that players could sometimes lose hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds while playing the fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs).
The Scotland Bill which is currently going through Westminster would give the Scottish Parliament the ability to limit the number of machines allowed in new bookmaker shops.
But Holyrood's local government and regeneration committee concluded that this did not go far enough given the high number of terminals already available.
Committee convenor Kevin Stewart, an SNP MSP, said he believed the maximum stake of £100 per game and the ability to play three games per minute meant FOBTs were a form of "hard gambling" and should therefore be banned from the high street.
He said: "The casino industry told us these machines are a form of hard gambling and unsuitable for the unsupervised environment of a bookmaker's shop.
"We were given evidence about the clustering of bookmakers in some communities - for example, one parade of shops in Glasgow with three bookmakers each offering four FOBT machines - and local authorities have told us they feel powerless to do anything to restrict the number of bookmakers."

£100 maximum stake per bet
£2 what campaigners believe the maximum stake should be
£500 maximum win per bet
34,874 number of FOBTs in betting shops in the UK*
He said planning rules should be changed to give local authorities more control and the ability to address the clustering of machines.
And he said the Scotland Bill would not give the Scottish Parliament any "real and effective powers" to tackle FOBTs.
In its submission to the committee, the Association of British Bookmakers argued that gaming machines "pose no greater risk than any other gambling product".
It said: "Since the introduction of gaming machines into shops over 10 years ago levels of problem gambling have remained relatively stable and declined year on year."
It also argued that reducing the number of fixed odds betting terminals would "disproportionately impact the viability of the (bookmaker) sector which has a strong history in Scotland and risks customer displacement to non-regulated environments".
On Sunday, the BBC reported that a bid to cut the maximum bet on some high street gambling machines in England had been resubmitted.
Newham Council said the machines had "sucked the life blood out of local communities" and urged ministers to reduce the highest stake from £100 to £2.
Abdul Hafidah was stabbed after he was hit by a car on Moss Lane East on 12 May and died later in hospital.
The 17-year-old has been bailed until 25 July pending further inquiries.
Nine other people, eight men and another 17-year-old boy, are on bail after also being detained on suspicion of Adbul's murder.
Police believe Mr Hafidah had been chased near Greenheys Lane before being struck by a blue Vauxhall Corsa and then stabbed.
Current rules require only one space for firms to comply with the Equality Act.
Bridgend Coalition of Disabled People chairman Simon Green said transport companies will always do the legal minimum.
The Department for Transport (DfT) has been asked to comment.
Bus companies said an additional wheelchair space was possible, but would result in reduced capacity, requiring increased tax-payer subsidies on some routes.
In January, the Supreme Court ruled bus companies had to consider further steps when disabled spaces are occupied by pushchairs.
However, even when pushchairs are not in the disabled space of a bus, there can sometimes be a capacity issue.
Mr Green said an increase in wheelchair users meant the rules should change.
He said: "Accessibility on buses has vastly improved. When I first started using a wheelchair I was lucky if I could get on any bus.
"The vast majority of buses, with my very-lightweight wheelchair, I can get onboard it without a problem.
"The problem is that, if I'm onboard, very often someone else in a wheelchair can't get onboard."
He said some buses have two spaces but often a bar does not leave room for a wheelchair and a push chair or two wheelchairs, which is a "huge issue".
Mr Green called for "bigger, wider" spaces with fold-down seats toward the front of the bus, to allow for flexibility.
"I think the law and the regulations should be changed. I think each bus should be able to carry at least two people in wheelchairs," he added.
The plea came after two women in Monmouthshire told BBC Wales they no longer use public transport, after being stranded when the single wheelchair space was already occupied on the last bus home.
Bethan Watkins, from Raglan, tries to regularly catch a bus to and from Abergavenny, which runs every two hours.
She said on one occasion when the wheelchair space was already taken on the last bus home she was left stranded.
"I was left at the bus stop with very little charge on my phone and I didn't think I was going to be able to get home.
"It really did knock my confidence and after the first time I got stranded I barricaded myself in the house and I didn't want to come out."
Phil Anslow, whose company runs the Monmouth-to-Abergavenny route Ms Watkins uses, said he understood the difficulties faced by disabled people, as his father was also a wheelchair user.
He told BBC Wales putting an extra wheelchair space on the bus was not a problem, but it would impact on capacity for other users because of DfT regulations.
"At the end of the day we are a bus service company - we carry people from A to B.
"The more people we carry the better for everybody, but we can only do what the law allows us to do," he said.
Sarah Griffiths, from Abergavenny, said she tried to board a bus from Abergavenny to Cwmbran last month but was refused because another wheelchair user was already onboard.
"It really put me off - I've got to have a taxi everywhere.
"There are quite a few people who have the same problem and it's happening time and time again. They apologise, but it just keeps happening," she said.
A spokesman for Stagecoach, which runs the route, said the company would investigate the incident.
"We recognise that different passengers have different requirements and we work with bus manufacturers to make sure our vehicles are accessible to as many customer groups as possible.
"We have been commended on our approach by disability groups and we work closely with them on improving our services.
"Over the past decade, we have also invested more than £1bn in new accessible buses, which benefit wheelchair users, customers with restricted mobility and families with young children."
The Department for Transport is yet to comment.
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision in January, it said "public transport should be accessible to all" and it would consider the ruling.
"We are working with operators, disability groups and local authorities to ensure that disabled people can easily get onto buses," the DfT added at the time.

The Englishman took advantage of a nervous Ding to open up a 6-0 lead, before Ding pulled two back.
China's Ding had breaks of 103, 89 and 86 in the second session, as well as taking a 66-minute 15th frame.
But Selby, the 2014 champion, won the last two as play ended at 00:24 BST after a tactical 49-minute final frame.
The final resumes at 14:00 BST on Monday, with the last session due to start at 19:00.
Leicester's Selby, competing in his third final, looked fresh despite a late semi-final finish against Marco Fu on Saturday, and took advantage of Ding's edginess early on.
Having not shown his best snooker in the tournament, the 32-year-old signalled his intention with breaks of 91, 76, 70 and 120 to surge ahead.
However, his opponent - playing in his first Crucible final - won the seventh and eighth frames to stay in touch.

Ding, 29, had to come through three qualifying matches to qualify for the main draw after slipping to 17th in the world rankings.
He is bidding to become only the third qualifier after Terry Griffiths in 1979 and Shaun Murphy in 2005 to lift the trophy, and the first Asian world champion.
Selby looked like he might run away with the final when he won the first frame of the second session, but he suffered an unfortunate miscue when in amongst the reds in the next.
That gave Ding a reprieve as he jumped out of his seat to make a counter-attacking 76 break.
He followed it up with a century, his 13th of the tournament, and a cool 89 under pressure to reduce the deficit to 7-5.
Ding grabbed two of the next three, including the marathon 15th frame to go 8-7 behind, but it seemed to take a lot out of him.
Selby, who was clearly struggling with tiredness, pinched the final two frames of the session, punching the table and raising his cue in delight on his way to finally bringing the session to a conclusion.
Six-time world champion Steve Davis: "There were two warriors out there today. When you require one or two snookers you've got to go for them, but the standard of safety play was astonishing and a frame can go on a long time. Nobody is giving an inch. Ding looked as fresh as anything.
1991 champion John Parrott: "Mark Selby has got tremendous stamina. It was a phenomenal performance. His eyes are so tired, he's absolutely gone, but he keeps finding something."
1997 champion Ken Doherty: Mark Selby has shown incredible resolve and mental strength. It looked like Ding was closing to within one frame or even possibly levelling the match, but he came back very strongly despite his tiredness."

It has some oil and gas and a developing gold mining sector, but relies on imports for most of its energy needs.
Resentment at widespread poverty and ethnic divisions between north and south have spilled over into violence, and the country's first two post-Soviet presidents were swept from power by popular discontent.
Settled by Kyrgyz tribes from southern Siberia in the 17th century, the area was ruled by various regional powers before coming under Russian, and then Soviet, rule.
Most of its six million people are Turkic-speaking Muslims.

President: Almazbek Atambayev
Almazbek Atambayev, a businessman and former prime minister, won more than 60% of votes in the October 2011 presidential election, trouncing his nationalist rivals.
His inauguration marked the first peaceful transfer of presidential power in Kyrgyzstan's post-Communist history.
Under pro-Russian Mr Atambayev, Kyrgyzstan joined the Russian-dominated Eurasian Customs Union.
He also refused to extend the lease on the US air base at Manas - a logistics hub for the Afghan conflict - in 2012, soon after accepting a loan from Russia; the base closed in 2014.
1685 - Kyrgyz people settle in the area that is now Kyrgyzstan; area conquered by the Oirats, a Mongol people, after centuries of Turkic rule.
1758 - Oirats defeated by Chinese Manchus and Kyrgyz become nominal subjects of Chinese empire.
Early 19th century - Kyrgyz come under the jurisdiction of the Uzbek khanate of Kokand, to the west.
1876 - Russian forces incorporate what is now Kyrgyzstan into the Russian empire.
1991 - Kyrgyzstan acquires its present name, and declares independence. Askar Akayev is president.
2005 - Mass protests force President Akayev from office in the Tulip Revolution.
2010 - Opposition protests sweep President Kurmanbek Bakiyev from power.
The claim: Migration to the UK puts a heavy burden on housing stock - we would need to build 240 houses a day for 20 years to cope.
Reality Check verdict: The sums add up. Note that the figures include migration from outside the EU and are a projection based on the past.
"We need to build around 240 houses every day for the next 20 years just to be able to cope with increased demand from future migration," he said.
That works out at a total of 1.75 million houses.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) makes assumptions about future levels of migration in its population forecasts. In the latest release, published last October, the suggested figure for population increase due to net migration over a 25 year period is five million. Over the 20-year period from 2014 to 2034, the figure is approximately four million.
The average UK household size is 2.3 people so four million people does indeed equate to about 1.75 million homes, or 240 a day.
There are a couple of caveats. One is that the ONS figure is for immigration from both inside and outside the EU. At the moment, the EU accounts for just under half of total net migration.
And second, the ONS numbers are not a forecast of what they expect to happen. They are an assumption made on the basis of what has happened in the past.

Children's Commissioner Tam Baillie said children could not be expected to thrive unless they were well-nourished.
The Scottish government is consulting on the new social security powers devolved under the Scotland Act 2016.
Mr Baillie said research suggested that almost one in five children in Scotland was living in relative poverty.
And foodbank provider Trussell Trust has estimated that about a third of its food parcels go to children.
Mr Baillie said: "This can only harm children's physical and mental well-being; unless their basic need to be well nourished is met, we cannot expect children to concentrate at school or on other activities."
In June, the government's Independent Working Group on Child Poverty urged ministers to use new social security powers coming to Holyrood to fund an increase in child benefit.
The group said an increase of £5 per child per week would lift 30,000 children out of poverty at a cost of £256m a year.
Publishing a report on the issue - entitled Living is more important than just surviving - the commissioner highlighted the lack of accurate data about the numbers of children experiencing food insecurity.
Food insecurity means children not having enough food to eat or not being certain that there will be enough food for them and their families.
Mr Baillie said the report was prompted by the "rapid" increase of food insecurity in Scotland and the absence of children's input in discussions on the causes and solutions to poverty.
According to the research, conducted with 32 children in four local authority areas in Scotland, young children have well developed ideas around solutions to food insecurity including:
The commissioner said: "The greatest insight of this research is of young children's desire and ability to solve the challenges they see in the world around them, which raises a number of questions about the inclusion of children in public policy and decision making more generally."
Pete Ritchie, executive director of the Nourish Scotland campaign group, said there was currently no population wide monitoring of food insecurity in Scotland or the rest of the UK.
He added: "The Scottish government could include a child-specific measure of food insecurity in the Child Poverty Bill."
The bodies of about 800 children aged under six were unearthed by archaeologists in January during the Freckleton Street link road works.
A total of 1,967 bodies were exhumed from 200 graves from the 1800s
The Bishop of Blackburn Rt Rev Julian Henderson led a service at 12:00 BST at the memorial gardens reburial site in Wainwright Way.
He acknowledged the support given to the project "particularly in the light of the sensitivities involved".
"I am grateful for the care taken by contractors and archaeologists in overseeing the work to ensure this will continue to be a site of remembrance for future generations," he said.
The land where the bodies were found was formerly the burial ground at the old St Peter's Church which opened in 1821 in Blackburn.
The large number of children discovered was put down to a lack of good sanitation and medicines leading to a high mortality rate.
Experts believe one of the men buried at the site was a soldier injured in the Crimean War.
St Peter's Church, which would have seated 1,500 parishioners, became dilapidated in the mid-20th Century and was demolished to ground level in 1976.
Eventually 100,000 eels will be released in UK waterways, including in Shropshire, east of England and Wales.
Eel numbers are falling as they cannot reach their breeding habitats due to man-made barriers in their way.
Andrew Kerr, from the Sustainable Eels Group, said: "You want to see the eel doing well and prospering as it tells us how well we are managing our water."
Mr Kerr added: "What we've had to do is catch them in hand nets and then put them in tanks.
"Sometimes we immediately move them on past the barriers but on this occasion we've taken 100,000 and we've grown them on from two inches long, to four, five, six inches long."
UK Glass Eels used licensed fishermen who caught the baby eels in hand nets during the spring tides along the River Severn earlier this year.
The first batch was released into Blagdon Lake on Monday.
This site was chosen as it has shallow water, lots of reeds for protection from predators like birds, and plentiful food.
The young eels will then grow and mature over the next 15 to 20 years as they live low down in the water.
Once mature they will return to the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic to breed and spawn.
A total of £45,000 is being spent on the project organised by the Bristol and Avon Rivers Trust, the Sustainable Eel Group and UK Glass Eels.
In a message on Facebook she said the blackout was caused by faulty equipment and that only the Southern and Western provinces - supplied by a hydroelectric power plant at the Victoria Falls - were unaffected.
The incident is a repeat of a similar blackout on 11 December.
Zambia - a hydroelectric-dependent country - has had erratic rainfall.
The 1.4 million people who live in the capital Lusaka are suffering after an inconsistent rainy season from last October to March this year.
The rainfall shortages have left some reservoir water levels too low, resulting in load shedding - as a result of which the government says it has had to impose planned power cuts - sometimes lasting eight to 14 hours a day.
Zambia had one of Africa's fastest growing economies - expanding on average 7% annually over the past five years - driven by mining of its huge copper and cobalt reserves.
But global prices for minerals have dropped, coinciding with low rainfall and power cuts. On top of that, Zambia's local currency, the kwacha, has recently tumbled against the US dollar. Many businesses cannot absorb such unplanned costs.
Power cuts typically add 40% to businesses' costs in emerging economies, the World Bank estimates.
Analysts say that Zambia's - and sub-Saharan Africa's - energy crisis is caused by a lack of planning, a lack of investment as a result of low tariffs, prevarication by politicians and poor management of resources.
His opening tweet was: "Can you hear me now?"
In his profile, Mr Snowden says he "used to work for the government. Now I work for the public". He quickly gathered thousands of followers.
So far, Mr Snowden, who is wanted in the US for leaking secrets, only follows one other Twitter user - the US National Security Agency (NSA).
He is believed to be living in Moscow where he is sheltering from US prosecutors.
In his second tweet - a reply to US astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson - Mr Snowden joked: "Now we've got water on Mars! Do you think they check passports at the border? Asking for a friend."
And in another tweet he said: "Hero, traitor - I'm just a citizen with a voice."
The @Snowden account was verified by Twitter and within nine hours of joining, Mr Snowden had accumulated more than 710,000 followers.
In June, former Olympian and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner became the fastest person on Twitter to reach one million followers - in just over four hours.
Mr Snowden left the US in 2013 after leaking to the media details of extensive internet and phone surveillance by US intelligence.
His information made global headlines when the Guardian newspaper reported that the NSA 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.
Although some consider him a traitor for his revelations, many others around the world say he is a champion of civil liberties.
In the US he faces charges that could put him in prison for up to 30 years.
Earlier this year, speaking via video-link to a Geneva audience, he said he would like to be granted asylum in Switzerland.
He has previously worked in Geneva undercover for the CIA.
Regarding a possible return to the US, he told the audience that authorities there had given him no assurances of a fair trial.
"The only thing they've said at this point was that they would not execute me," he said. "That's not quite the same thing as agreeing to a fair and open trial."
The 29-year-old played 42 games for the Us after joining from Scunthorpe in the summer of 2014.
The former Huddersfield player spent time on loan at York City earlier this season, making seven appearances.

Named Quinto by staff at Whitehouse Farm Centre in Morpeth, it was among three born on Sunday.
The additional front limb is fully formed and does not appear to be causing the animal any problems, according to manager Heather Hogarty.
Ms Hogarty said a vet was due to assess Quinto in the next day or so and a decision made whether or not to amputate her extra leg.
Quinto has quickly become one of the star attractions at the farm, which also features llamas, wallabies and meerkats.
Ms Hogarty, who has run the farm's visitor centre for 16 years, said: "We've never come across anything like this before and neither has anyone we've spoken to.
"She's doing absolutely fine at the moment and does not appear to have suffered any adverse effects from being born with an extra leg.
"It looks like it's fully formed, although it's a bit limp in the middle of her lower body.
"As she was being born we just thought it was one of the front legs in an awkward position.
"She and her two sisters are a very healthy weight.
"Having five legs isn't stopping her running about even though it's about the same size as the other legs.
"She is definitely the most unusual birth we've had here.
"We've asked the vet to have a look at her and we would expect the extra leg to be amputated. But that should be straight forward and shouldn't affect her health too much."
Sam Prescott, director of Robson and Prescott Veterinary Centre in Morpeth, said: "It is certainly rare but we will see mutations of different sorts and always have done.
"We'll see lambs born with two heads and Siamese twins, there can be all sorts of deformities that make them nonviable."
Over the 17 days that followed, Great Britain's team enjoyed its most successful Winter Games since the very first edition in Chamonix in 1924.
GB athletes brought home four medals - skeleton gold for Lizzy Yarnold,silver and bronze in curling and a snowboard bronze for Jenny Jones - Britain's first Olympic medal on snow.
Twelve months on, how are winter sports faring in the United Kingdom?
Mike Hay, a former Great Britain curler, was in overall charge of the Team GB delegation in Russia.
He believes the performance in Sochi was a "step change" and stands Winter Sports in good stead in the lead up to the next Games in Pyeongchang in 2018.
"I think we're in pretty good shape. I think that's reflected in the funding. UK Sport have confidence we have podium potential in Pyeongchang," said Hay.
"We have a great age profile of athletes coming through, and we've got much more strength in depth than we've ever had before, so I'm very positive about our chances in Pyeongchang."
UK Sport funding in Winter Olympic Sports has more than doubled for the four-year cycle running up to Pyeongchang.
For the six funded sports the amount awarded has risen from pre-Sochi total of £13,444,638 to £27,374,333.
"I think we can safely say Sochi was a watershed moment for British winter sports," said Simon Timson, UK Sport director of performance.
"Many are still working with a relatively small cohort of athletes, but ones that have the potential to be even more successful in Pyeongchang in three years' time.
"However, no one in British winter sport can afford to rest on their laurels and sit still; we need to make the most of the opportunity that Sochi created.
"We don't expect to see all the fruits in performance terms on the world stage yet."
In skeleton, the extra funding has enabled Team GB to run a talent search programme in order to bring its number of athletes up from 15 to 24 by 2018.
More money is going to sled research and development, while the extra funds have helped send athletes to the Olympic Youth Games and led to the appointment of full-time coaches for the World Cup and Europa Cup.
However, three sports - bobsleigh, short-track speed skating and figure skating - have conditions to meet in year one or they could face cuts to their money.
National Ice Skating Association chief executive Nick Sellwood said the conditions imposed were "only right and proper".
"You've got to keep assessing whether people are on track to deliver medals," he added.
"Our figure skaters have very specific performance targets at the world championships. If they reach those targets, they remain on the programme. If they don't, they'll move off the programme.
"In short-track, UK Sport recognise that we are excelling - we're delivering world, European and world cup medals regularly. But what we haven't done is convert that to Olympic medals.
"We've reviewed all of our programmes and put new strategies and resources in place to address some of the weaknesses in our system so that we're more confident of delivering the medals we're being asked to do."
Many GB athletes who took part in Sochi have built on the team's success in the past year.
Lizzy Yarnold has added to her Olympic gold with three World Cup wins so far this season.
The GB women curlers followed up their bronze with European bronze representing Scotland, although the GB men who won silver in Russia failed to qualify for the event.
There have also been successes for athletes who did not manage to get on the podium in Sochi.
Katie Summerhayes became the first British woman to win a Freestyle World Championships medal when she took slopestyle silver in Kreischberg in January.
In short track, Elise Christie, for whom the Winter Olympics went so badly, refocused to take a world silver medal and was crowned European champion for the first time.
Andrew Musgrave, the cross-country skier who described his Olympic performance as like a 'tranquilised badger', has rediscovered his speed with the best ever finish by a Briton at a World Cup, coming 13th in Lillehammer in December. He also clocked the fastest time by a Brit in a World Cup race earlier this year.
And although they were unable to win another European Championships medal this year, ice dancing pair Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland scored a personal best and won their first prestigious Grand Prix medal with a bronze in Moscow in November.
Ed Leigh is a former professional snowboarder and now co-presents Ski Sunday. He feels snow sports in the UK are enjoying a post-Sochi boost.
"Snow sports in this country are in such rude health," he said. "Jenny Jones's medal has had such an affect on the domestic industry.
"That medal had a genuine trickle-down effect of bringing people into the sport.
"We are the only snowboard industry in the world that is growing at the moment."
Leigh added that Summerhayes's silver medal at the world championships is "an indication of the progress that we continue to make".
Another one of the key things that Sochi has provided is something called 'performance profiling', which looks at the times and performances of the world's best and measures UK athletes against that.
"Snowboard riders like Billy Morgan, Jamie Nicholls and Aimee Fuller are all benefiting from that and we're starting to see real results and a lot of progress being made using that system," Leigh added.
Participation can be tricky to gauge.
Some sports, such as bobsleigh or skeleton, are not readily accessible to a recreational athlete. Other sports have different ways of measuring their numbers - whether it is by website traffic or facility surveys.
However, the general trend is upwards.
Curling recorded over 5,000 people trying the sport in the aftermath of the Sochi Games through the Try Curling website. That number compares to roughly 1,000 people in each year after the 2010 Vancouver Games.
And at the only dedicated curling rink in England they are still witnessing 60% more visitors than they were at this time 12 months ago.
"Immediately after the Games we had so much interest we had to stay open longer than we normally would," said Tracey Brown, manager of Fenton's Rink in Tunbridge Wells.
"We shut between May and October and expected it to level out again but there were still more people coming. We don't know when or if interest will drop."
Ice skating sports have recorded 2,500 more people taking part each week, while in the three months after Sochi Snowsport England recorded a 12% increase in participation at several indoor centres around the country compared to the same period in 2013.
The Army's 5th Division is among three regional headquarters closing to save money under the Strategic Defence and Security Review.
The work of the three will move to a central HQ in Aldershot, Hampshire, with the loss of about 440 civilian jobs, including 63 in Shrewsbury.
Copthorne Barracks will remain the base for 143 (West Midlands) Brigade.
The MoD said the 5th Division's disbandment had meant some staff leaving on voluntary terms, while others placed in the "redeployment pool" may be found jobs with the MoD or other government departments.
A ceremony was held at the Shrewsbury barracks on 29 March to mark the disbandment of the division.
Brigadier Mark Banham, Commander of 143 (West Midlands) Brigade, said the modern day 5th Division was established in 1995 but its roots dated back to 1811.
"I would like to pay tribute and give my thanks to the generations of people, both military and civilian, who spent their careers here at 5th Division, their contribution lives on in its memory," he said.
He added that he wanted people to understand "that just because the division is disbanding as a result of changes to the structure of the Army, Copthorne Barracks and 143 (West Midlands) Brigade, are very much open for business".
There were currently no plans to close Copthorne Barracks, Brig Banham said.
Minister of State for the Armed Forces, Nick Harvey, said in December that the Aldershot move would mean 440 job losses among civilian staff.
However, he said 104 civilian jobs would be created at Aldershot's new Support Command HQ.
About 42,000 MoD civilian and armed forces jobs are to be cut by 2015 as defence spending falls by 8% over four years.
The We Love Manchester Emergency Fund raised £2m in just 24 hours and has now topped £4m. But what checks do crowdfunding organisations make to ensure so-called fake fundraisers are not duping well wishers?
Just Giving, one of the online pages people can use to donate to the fund, was criticised over an appeal for victims of the Westminster terror attack which was thought to be fraudulent.
However, it said it now takes "pre-emptory action" and places all pages set up after an event like the Manchester tragedy into a "quarantine".
"This means that we prevent any money being removed from the accounts until we have spoken with the page owner, worked out if they have a plan to distribute the funds and if not, then we intervene and do it for them," a spokesperson said.
"Therefore, it's unlikely there would be a possibility of any money going to the wrong place."
GoFundme, another online donation page, said it also vetted "every single campaign" to check they were safe for donors to give to.
"We do this by contacting organisers, making sure they are who they say they are and that they have a clear way of getting the money to the intended recipient.
"If they're not clear on that, we'll help them make that connection, but they won't be able to withdraw any donations," its spokesman John Coventry said.
Has there been any fraudulent activity suspected?
Earlier this month, the Fundraising Regulator told BBC News more needed to be done to protect people from fraudulent crowdfunding pages after concerns were raised that a JustGiving page for one of the Westminster terror attack victims could be fraudulent.
Just Giving said it had received about 30 queries relating to crowdfunding pages on the Manchester attack.
GoFundMe said it had spotted "a handful" of fake pages.
"If we spot any suspicious activity we immediately suspend the campaign and contact the campaign organiser. This has happened just a handful of times this week, and were all caught before they had raised any money," Mr Coventry said.
Greater Manchester Police has issued a warning for people to be aware of fraudulent fund raising pages.
The money raised by We Love Manchester Emergency Fund will be used to help the victims of the attack, their families and dependants.
The page said that in the unlikely event that more money was raised than could be "reasonably and efficiently spent", the surplus would be used in the aftermath of similar events in the UK that charity trustees agreed upon.
Pages should always state what any money raised will be used for.
What do you do if you think you have spotted something suspicious?
The sites ask users to immediately flag up anything they feel is suspicious so it can be investigated.
Just Giving said it was currently working through more than 200 pages set up since the attacks and was speaking to the page owners.
GoFundMe is also hosting about 200 pages. It said its biggest campaigns included one for homeless man Chris Parker who comforted an injured girl and a woman who died in his arms, student Georgina Callander and eight-year-old Saffie Roussos.

As the red warning lights started flashing at the Oulton Broad crossing, the driver carried on across the railway line - narrowly missing the descending barriers.
The driver, who was caught on camera on Thursday, also nearly struck a woman pushing a buggy and another woman with a young child on the footpath.
Suffolk's Police and Crime Commissioner Tim Passmore described the driver's antics as "dangerous, reckless and completely unacceptable".
Finola Cash, 32, was out buying crack cocaine when her son Ricky's bath seat fell into water in their hotel bedsit in Edgware, north London, in August.
Cash had been visited by social workers on multiple occasions, including on the day Ricky died, the Old Bailey heard.
The judge said Cash was "grossly negligent".
The baby, who was subject to a child protection plan by Harrow Social Services, died in September 2014 - a month after he was found - in a children's hospice after suffering brain damage.
Judge Charles Wide said: "You were grossly negligent. This was not the result of momentary inattention, this was the culmination of the continual failure to care for him.
He added: "You were more concerned with receiving your consignment of drugs than looking after your child."
Doctors found the 11-month-old had crack cocaine in his bloodstream, which was either the result of passive smoking or contamination from a surface or a finger.
He was also suffering a severe nappy rash caused by neglecting to change soiled nappies.
Cash pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to six years, of which Judge Wide said she is expected to serve half on licence.
Cash, who is from the travelling community, was known to social services because of her history of drug abuse and domestic violence.
She had been moved into the hotel so social services could supervise the family, the prosecution said.
On the morning of Ricky's death on 23 August, a social worker made an unannounced visit to Cash and noted that she had no concerns, the court heard.
Tests on her blood and hair revealed she had taken crack cocaine in the 12 hours before Ricky had drowned and had been a user of heroin and methadone for the previous nine months.
Sarah Plaschkes QC, prosecuting, said Harrow Social Services became "increasingly concerned" about Cash who had already been evicted from two other hotels for disruptive behaviour before she arrived at the Madonna Halley Hotel, in Whitchurch Lane, in August 2014.
Social workers suspected Cash may have been taking drugs after reports from from neighbours, but Cash failed to turn up for drug testing.
A statement from the Met Police said Harrow Council had launched a multi-agency serious case review commissioned by Harrow Local Safeguarding Board.
The television maker has apologised to its customers and told the BBC it would issue an update to correct the problem.
UK-based IT consultant Jason Huntley, who raised the issue in a blog, welcomed the "positive step".
Viewing information helps manufacturers deliver relevant advertising and programme recommendations.
"I hope that their future products will reflect this decision and keep customers clearly informed as to their data collection practices before they take place," he said.
LG launched an investigation in the wake of his blog, which was reported widely in the media.
"We have verified that even when this function is turned off by the viewers, it continues to transmit viewing information, although the data is not retained by the server," LG said in a statement.
"A firmware update is being prepared for immediate rollout that will correct this problem on all affected LG Smart TVs so when this feature is disabled, no data will be transmitted."
It later added: "LG does not, or has ever, engaged in targeted advertisement using information collected from LG Smart TV owners."
Since the issue became public it has emerged that Sony's PlayStation also collects data from every Blu-ray disc that is played.
Samsung, the world's largest TV maker, is yet to respond to questions about its operations.
LG stressed that the information gathered was not personal but viewing information.
"This information is collected to offer recommendations to viewers based on what other LG Smart TV owners are watching," the firm said.
A document uncovered by Harvard's student newspaper included ratings of the attractiveness of female players as well as sexually explicit comments.
University President Drew Faust called the behaviour "appalling".
The team, currently in first place in the Ivy League, will forfeit the rest of its games this season.
In what reports indicate may be a yearly tradition, male soccer players at Harvard circulated documents with pictures of their female counterparts, rating their attractiveness from one to 10 and giving reasons for their decisions.
They also noted which sexual position they thought the women in question would prefer.
Until recently, the Harvard Crimson newspaper reports, documents from 2012 were publicly accessible through a former team's Google Group.
Ms Faust said an investigation had found that the practice had continued to the current season.
She wrote that she "was deeply distressed to learn that the appalling actions of the 2012 men's soccer team were not isolated to one year or the actions of a few individuals".
Ms Faust added in a statement: "The decision to cancel a season is serious and consequential, and reflects Harvard's view that both the team's behaviour and the failure to be forthcoming when initially questioned are completely unacceptable, have no place at Harvard, and run counter to the mutual respect that is a core value of our community."
The discovery of sexually explicit comments made by male Harvard athletes is at the milder end of what has been dubbed US college "rape culture".
Banners regularly appear at the beginning of the academic year bearing slogans such as: "Rowdy and fun. Hope your baby girl is ready for a good time".
Studies have found that members of US college fraternities are three times more likely to commit rape than other male students while members of sororities were 74% more likely to experience sexual assault.
Past scandals include an email sent around one fraternity entitled "Luring your rapebait" and fraternity members chanting "No means yes".
The most recent case involved a Stanford University swimming champion who sexually assaulted an unconscious female student before being jailed for six months - a term condemned by many as too short.
Will Stanford sexual assault case silence future victims?
BBC Pop Up: Fraternity culture and stopping college rape
Last week after the original story came out, the female players in question said they were "appalled that female athletes who are told to feel empowered and proud of their abilities are so regularly reduced to a physical appearance".
In an opinion piece published in the Crimson, they said: "More than anything, we are frustrated that this is a reality that all women have faced in the past and will continue to face throughout their lives."
The university's director of athletics, Robert Scalise, said: "It's very disappointing and disturbing that people are doing this.
"Any time a member of our community says things about other people who are in our community that are disparaging, it takes away from the potential for creating the kind of learning environment that we'd like to have here at Harvard."
The men's soccer coach Pieter Lehrer wrote in a statement to the Crimson that the team was "beyond disappointed that our season has ended in this way, but we respect the decision made by our administration".
Mark Jones, 45, of Cwmbran, denies murdering Amelia Jones while babysitting in Pontnewydd in November 2012.
On Tuesday, Amelia's mother told Newport Crown Court she had "trusted" Mr Jones with her daughter's life.
She said the baby had previously been "quite distressed" in his care.
Sarah Jones, 26, said her father appeared to have had a difficult evening with five-week-old Amelia when she returned home from a night out with friends on 16 November, 2012.
She said Mr Jones swore and said "Amelia had been a nightmare".
She added: "I didn't think anything of it at the time. I trusted him with my life and my children.
"I had no reason not to. He was my father."
Ms Jones left Amelia with her father at 21:30 GMT the next day, on 17 November, 2012, to go to the cinema.
But she said that within a minute of her sitting down in the cinema, Mr Jones phoned her and said: "Love, love she's not breathing, I can't get her to breathe".
Ms Jones said her street "was lit up with blue" when she got home.
She added: "Amelia was being carried from my front door."
Mr Jones was in tears, saying "I'm sorry", his daughter said.
Amelia was initially treated at the Royal Gwent Hospital, Newport, but then transferred to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.
Ms Jones said that when a doctor told her Amelia had a skull fracture she "went into denial" and "thought they had got it wrong".
She told the jury her father said at the hospital: "Whatever you do, don't give up on her, don't allow them to turn her machine off. I'll be there no matter what."
Earlier, Ms Jones told the court Amelia had become "quite distressed" when left in Mr Jones's care in a car during a shopping trip, days before her death.
"Amelia was out of her car seat and sitting on Mark's lap", she said.
"For a normal cry, that wasn't Amelia," she added.
Ms Jones said her father had also made a "shocking" comment a few days before the baby's death, when the youngster's father, Ian Skillern, was leaving the couple's home.
She said it came "completely out of the blue" when Mr Jones said "Even though I don't like her father, I don't hold grudges against a baby".
Ms Jones added: "I was just quite in shock about where that comment had come from."
On Monday, the court heard Mr Jones duped his daughter into thinking he was gravely ill by posing as a doctor in bogus phone calls in a bid to repair their relationship.
Mr Jones claims he dropped Amelia accidentally on the two separate evenings while babysitting on his own.
The trial continues.
Putting Kelis, Gareth Malone, Chaka Khan and Mel Giedroyc together in the same room is, quite simply, a magnificent idea.
Having clearly recognised this, BBC One has duly recruited this dream team to appear in its upcoming singing contest Pitch Battle.
Judges Kelis and Malone will be joined by a different guest judge each week, which will see Chaka Khan rotate with Will Young, Bebe Rexha and Seal to critique the contestants.
Choirs and a capella groups will be pitted against each other in a format you just might recognise from the many, many other talent shows which have preceded it.
"I remember seeing Popstars back in 2001 and it being a genuinely fresh and exciting idea," says Julia Raeside, TV critic for The Guardian.
"To watch the hopes and dreams of these young kids, it didn't feel quite so manipulated back then, and the concept of a judge being a bit of a villain was relatively new."
But, perhaps inevitably, the success of the show sparked a new wave of singing contests such as Popstars: The Rivals, Pop Idol, The X Factor and The Voice.
A number of successful groups and singers such as Girls Aloud, Little Mix, Leona Lewis and Olly Murs came out of these shows over the years - but there were also plenty of potential careers which never took off.
The Observer's pop critic Kitty Empire says: "If you are an artist, quite often going on TV talent shows might not be the best idea for your career, because for every One Direction there are a thousand No Directions.
"If you want a career in music, that sometimes doesn't happen as a result of going on a talent show. However, if you're more versatile and more willing to go on the West End stage, you can certainly turn the TV exposure to your advantage."
It's true - there are plenty of contestants who applied for talent contests as singers, and ended up taking their careers in totally different directions after receiving the TV exposure.
Rylan-Clark Neal was something of a novelty act in the 2012 series of the show, but has gone on to be a successful TV presenter and even released an autobiography last year.
Elsewhere, 2005 X Factor winner Shayne Ward and Popstars' Kym Marsh can now be seen acting in Coronation Street.
While Marsh's bandmate Myleene Klass is now a radio presenter and X Factor 2008 victor Alexandra Burke has starred in multiple theatre productions.
Certainly some of these former contestants have had success, but Empire points out: "There is a wider issue of whether great art is being made.
"For a country that produced people like David Bowie, who is universally acclaimed, we're not seeing that quality of talent on TV shows.
"People are just entertained by these programmes, and a singing contest is something that lends itself to TV watching by all generations. It gets kids and grandparents in front of the TV, in an age when most people are on YouTube.
"So it's much more about the format being successful TV than it is about creating meaningful musical careers."
A successful TV format it clearly is, but it's perhaps surprising that 16 years on from Popstars, singing contests continue to dominate TV schedules.
"I understand the heavy reliance on singing contests - the idea that a show needs a result to make you tune in for the next instalment," Raeside says.
"But I think it's a shame that, by now, light entertainment producers haven't come up with something to replace it.
She adds: "I used to work in TV development, and the wheels do tend to move quite slowly.
"Back then, they were trying to work out what was going to be the next Big Brother. Similarly, these singing shows have a shelf life, and some would argue they've already reached their sell by date."
Empire agrees: "Increasingly now the talent show formula can get a little tired, and I think many people have realised winning these shows perhaps isn't always the best thing to do.
"In Britain we particularly embrace this format, partly because we love an underdog story, like Paul Potts [the mobile phone salesman who won the first series of Britain's got Talent].
"In America, the underdog stories don't play so well - it's the shiniest people with the straightest teeth who win. Whereas in Britain we love unlikely success stories, so it really serves our market.
Looking ahead to Pitch Battle, Raeside says she can see the appeal of using choirs instead of individual singers to attract viewers and thinks it's a good way to get more mileage out of the talent show format.
"There was something quite shrieky about a show like The Voice, because it's one singer trying to make their mark in a 90-second audition, and there's something unrelaxing about watching that," she says.
"When you watch a choir it has a much more positive feeling, so it could have the edge over a show where teenagers are trying to get their break."
Empire agrees that, on paper at least, Pitch Battle "looks like it's a winner".
"Before Glee, it was a very American phenomenon, but now people getting together and harmonising doesn't seem like such a weird thing to do anymore," she says.
"The idea that there will be choirs and a capella groups battling it out means that you're getting quite a variety of people into the TV studio, and presumably they'll be doing mash ups and cover versions, so I can see how the format has been thought up to appeal to the broadest audience."
But, Raeside adds: "I don't know how much longer these shows can keep going for. I can't see where else they'd take this format now, it feels like we're coming to the end of the line."

Villa dominated but failed to capitalise on a lethargic Swans display in a goalless first half.
The visitors were made to pay for their profligacy early in the second when Federico Fernandez bundled in.
Swansea are now 11 points clear of the relegation zone in 15th, while Villa remain 12 points adrift of safety.
A third win in four matches made it a happy return to the dugout for Swans head coach Francesco Guidolin, who had missed their last three fixtures with a chest infection.
And despite the unconvincing manner of victory, they will be increasingly confident of a sixth season in the Premier League with seven games of this campaign to go.
For Villa, meanwhile, a sixth successive league defeat makes relegation almost inevitable.
Relive Swansea's 1-0 win over Aston Villa
Aston Villa had endured another turbulent week typical of a miserable season, with chief executive Tom Fox and sporting director Hendrik Almstadt both leaving the club.
Despite their dismal recent form, Remi Garde's side started the strongest at the Liberty Stadium as Joleon Lescott and Jordan Ayew missed the target with the game's first two shots.
Ciaran Clark then headed narrowly over from a corner, though there was a sinking familiarity to Villa's inability to make their dominance count.
In Guidolin's absence, assistant coach Alan Curtis had taken charge of Swansea's past three games, winning two and losing one.
Guidolin's return to the touchline failed to inspire his players in a listless first-half display, with the hosts devoid of direction, intensity and invention.
There was an improvement in all aspects after the interval, though there was an element of luck to Swansea's goal.
Gylfi Sigurdsson's curling free-kick prompted panic from onrushing Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan, whose hesitation allowed the ball to hit Fernandez's shoulder and loop into the net.
Swansea looked more confident in possession after taking the lead, albeit without the fluency which has become a hallmark of their play in recent years.
Bafetimbi Gomis pulled a shot wide in injury-time but it mattered not to the Swans, who were simply relieved to hold on for victory and haul themselves further clear of the bottom three.

Aston Villa boss Remi Garde: "Once again it is frustrating to get nothing out of the game. That is something we could not afford in our situation and unfortunately that is the end."
"We deserved a bit more. When we controlled the game, we were not dangerous enough to score a goal. I didn't think they were very threatening for us."
On the departures of chief executive Tom Fox and sporting director Hendrik Almstadt this week: "We showed as a team that we were not too much affected by all this stuff.
"This football club has had a lot of problems in the last few years. We are all in this situation today. The problems are within the club and we have to fight until the end."

Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin: "It was not a very good performance but the players were concentrated and focused like a final game.
"Our season has not been a good season. When I came two months ago we had only two points on the relegation zone and we're now better than that.
"This is an important result for us."
Swansea resume their Premier League programme after the international break by travelling to Stoke on 2 April (15:00 BST), when Aston Villa host Chelsea (12:45 BST).

Story of the match:
After 120 tedious and goalless minutes that were in stark contrast to the spectacular shock of the first semi-final between Brazil and the Germans, Argentina prevailed and a repeat of the 1986 and 1990 finals - when they played West Germany - will be played out in Rio.
Goalkeeper Sergio Romero was the hero with penalty saves from Ron Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder, while opposite number Jasper Cillessen was unable to repeat the feats of his deputy, Tim Krul, in the quarter-final win against Costa Rica.
And for Brazil, a nation still coming to terms with their worst defeat after being crushed 7-1 by Germany in Belo Horizonte, there is arguably the even more harrowing prospect of seeing fierce rivals Argentina lift the World Cup in the iconic surroundings of the Maracana.
Germany will be favourites given the manner in which they destroyed Brazil but there is a streak of steel running through Alejandro Sabella's side that offers resilience beyond the genius of Lionel Messi.
Dutch coach Louis van Gaal - who will now complete the formalities by guiding his side in Saturday's third/fourth place play-off before taking over at Manchester United - employed first the returning Nigel de Jong, then Jordy Clasie, to shadow Messi.
The plan succeeded but Van Gaal's problem was his side's failure to pose any attacking threat, with Robin van Persie peripheral and substituted, and Arjen Robben only able to deliver their first shot on target after 99 minutes.
That Argentina's chances were at a premium was down, in large part, to Aston Villa defender Vlaar, the game's outstanding performer at the heart of the Dutch defence. He did not deserve the cruel fate of being one of those to miss a penalty.
"Dutch keeper Jasper Cillessen will be disappointed with that last penalty. That was the one he could have saved with stronger wrists.
"But it was a poor game. A poor level for a semi-final of a World Cup. Let's hope the final is better.
"Argentina have had extra-time, more travelling, you've got to think it's there for Germany to win."
So to Sunday's showpiece and the repeat of the 1986 final, which Argentina won 3-2 to record their last World Cup triumph, and West Germany's 1-0 victory in Rome four years later, which was their last win.
Argentina will see the prospect of winning in Brazil's heartland as the perfect incentive. Earlier in this tournament, their supporters had flooded across the border in thousands in a show of support and they will do so again.
This was not a spectacle of any sort, but as firecrackers went off among Argentina fans and their players celebrated in front of them in the Sao Paulo rain, they did not have a care.
The pattern was set from the opening moments as De Jong's role - upon his surprise recovery from a groin injury - became clear. He was to stay in close proximity to Messi in an attempt to stifle Argentina's main creative force and, to a large extent, it worked.

Messi, however, cannot be kept completely quiet and he produced the only serious test for either goalkeeper in a stale first half when his free-kick was held comfortably by Cillessen after Vlaar fouled Enzo Perez.
Robben's lack of influence was reflected in the statistic that he only had four touches in the first 45 minutes, also an indication of how the Netherlands had failed to test Argentina's defence.
As heavy rain poured down on the Arena de Sao Paulo's uncovered stands after the interval, and some fans decided to seek shelter out of sight of the game, the stretching Gonzalo Higuain came closest to breaking the stalemate when he steered Perez's angled cross into the side-netting.
Sabella made a double change with 10 minutes remaining, sending on Aguero and Rodrigo Palacio for Higuain and Perez, but still there was no invention or ambition.
Van Gaal even sacrificed the listless Van Persie in extra time - his third change, a move which deprived the coach of the opportunity to introduce Krul again - and the tedium was lifted when Robben produced the first Dutch shot on target after 99 minutes. It was saved easily by Romero.
In a rare spell of excitement, Cillessen saved from Palacio and Maxi Rodriguez but there was no escaping the almost inevitable conclusion of penalties.
Vlaar had his opening penalty saved by Romero and, when Sneijder missed their third, the Netherlands' fate was effectively sealed.
Robben and Dirk Kuyt scored but Argentina were unerring, with Messi, Ezequiel Garay and Aguero on target before Rodriguez's kick sent Sabella's side to Rio.

In the latest attack, an Israeli soldier was wounded after being stabbed on board a bus. The attacker was shot dead and one civilian was injured.
Two youths were stabbed earlier at a settlement in East Jerusalem, leaving one of the victims, a 13-year-old boy, in a critical condition.
Two Israeli policemen were also wounded in separate attacks.
Four Israelis and dozens of Palestinians, including several assailants, have been killed in the recent upsurge of violence.
In the fifth attack on Monday, a man described by Israeli police as Arab stabbed an Israeli soldier on board a bus after trying to seize his gun. A civilian was also injured before the attacker was shot dead.
Can Israel and the Palestinians contain spiralling violence?
The day's attacks began when an Arab man stabbed a policeman in the Old City after being stopped when he was seen acting suspiciously, police said. The officer was saved from injury because he was wearing a protective vest. His attacker was shot dead by police.
It occurred near the Lions' Gate, the scene of several other previous stabbings.
Later, an Arab woman stabbed a policeman near police headquarters in the Ammunition Hill area of East Jerusalem, police said. The policeman, who was lightly wounded, managed to shoot and injure the attacker.
One of the Palestinian attackers of the two youths in the Pisgat Zeev settlement was shot and killed by police. His 13-year-old accomplice was shot and seriously injured.
Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri identified the two assailants as 13- and 17-year-old Palestinians from nearby Beit Hanina.
Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have soared recently, fuelled by clashes at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem, in the West Bank, and across the Gaza border, as well as the wave of stabbings.
At the weekend several Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli troops and by an Israeli air strike on a militant site in Gaza in response to rocket fire on Israel.
There has been a spate of stabbings of Israelis by Palestinians since early October, and one apparent revenge stabbing by an Israeli. The attacks, in which some Israelis have died, have struck in Jerusalem and elsewhere, and in the occupied West Bank. Israel has tightened security and clashed with rioting Palestinians, leading to deaths on the Palestinian side. The violence has also spread to the border with Gaza.
After a period of relative quiet, violence between the two communities has spiralled since clashes erupted at a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site in mid-September. It was fuelled by rumours among Palestinians that Israel was attempting to alter a long-standing religious arrangement governing the site. Israel repeatedly dismissed the rumours as incitement. Soon afterwards, two Israelis were shot dead by Palestinians in the West Bank and the stabbing attacks began. Both Israel and the Palestinian authorities have accused one another of doing nothing to protect each other's communities.
There have been two organised armed uprisings by Palestinians against Israeli occupation, in the 1980s and early 2000s. With peace talks moribund, some observers have questioned whether we are now seeing a third. The stabbing attacks seem to be opportunistic and although they have been praised by militant groups, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has said Palestinians are not interested in a further escalation.
Ireland won the first Test in Cape Town but the Springboks overcame a 16-point deficit to win 32-26 in Johannesburg.
"Having secured our first win away in South Africa, I think we can push on to create a bit more history," said Toner.
"That's in the back of our heads but we won't get caught up in the emotion of it to the detriment of our gameplan."
"The main thing is that we get our performance right," added the Leinster lock, who scored Ireland's first try on Saturday.
That touchdown helped Joe Schmidt's side to a 19-3 half-time lead, but four second-half tries saw South Africa bounce back to level the series.
"We're not really over it, we're still hurting and still very much in recovery mode, with a lot of sore bodies in the camp.
"We know that we should have won but we just let it slip in the last 15 or 20 minutes - we'll try to build our way into the week and be ready to peak on Saturday.
"I expect South Africa to play as they did in that last quarter as they will take a lot of confidence from their last 20 minutes but we can't let them do that again - we can't let them run at us and get over the gain line as easy as they did."
Ireland will be without centre Robbie Henshaw for the deciding encounter because of a knee cartilage injury, but Munster flanker CJ Stander is available again after serving a one-week ban.
Toner said Ireland hope to get on top in the scrum on Saturday.
"We are quite confident in our scrum as we have been working on it all year. With the props we have, I think we'll be able to dominate if we get things right, but it comes down to the day," he said.
"We stood off them in the second Test and stood off some tackles - I don't know whether it came down to lapses of concentration or if the lads were just tired.
"We only had five line-outs of our own and messed some of them up because of communication breakdowns. They have fantastic operators in the second row but we fronted up to them and we will have to do that again.
"We pride ourselves in our set-piece and have a lot of confidence in our backs to get over the gainline.
"We will take confidence from our performance in the first game and the first half of the second match and we know that we can do it and negate their threats."
And the former Rangers and Scotland captain, whose side lost to Queen's Park in the play-off final, is already making plans for another attempt.
"I've signed up five players from different clubs for next season, so there will be a few changes," he said.
"There needs to be a few changes and I need a bit more quality."
Ferguson, capped 45 times for Scotland, took over at Broadwood in June 2014 after a six-month spell as caretaker manager of Blackpool during which his side avoided relegation from England's Championship.
"This club's been in the doldrums for the last 10 years," he said of the Cumbernauld outfit who have slumped since being relegated from the second tier in 2009.
"Last year, it wasn't my squad - I think there's only two remaining of the 19 - and obviously I brought my own squad this season.
"I thought they would have been good enough, but a couple of injuries have hampered us, although I am not going to use that as an excuse.
"Overall, we should have had enough quality to win the league, but we weren't consistent enough and I am first to admit that."
Ferguson stressed that he would not be abandoning his "attack-minded" style of play.
"I have had a bit of criticism about that in the past," he admitted.
"I've got my own philosophy. Since I started my coaching badges, I've got a way of playing and sometimes the chairman says I need to calm down a wee bit.
"But that's the way I want to go. I want to play attacking football and take the game to teams."
Clyde finished third in the League Two table, beat runners-up Elgin City in the play-off semi-final but lost to the fourth-top Spiders on aggregate despite winning the second leg 1-0 at Hampden Park.
"In the first 10 minutes, we didn't start well, but then we took control of the game after that and started to pass the ball about like I wanted," added Ferguson.
"We got the penalty and then the second half petered out a bit and it wasn't what I expected.
"I told them they had to go for them and we didn't do that - and we didn't do enough on the day."
Lord Archer, footballer Kevin Keegan and actresses Patsy Kensit and Michelle Collins were among more than 40 cases which were resolved at London's High Court on Tuesday.
The cases were resolved by the payment of undisclosed damages and an apology from the newspaper group.
In some cases damages exceeded £300,000, the BBC understands.
This would exceed the £260,250 record damages awarded to actress Sadie Frost following a High Court trial in 2015.
Former Home Secretary Charles Clarke and actors Joe Swash and Denise van Outen joined a long list of individuals who were the subject of agreed statements read out to Mr Justice Mann at the High Court.
The BBC's legal correspondent Clive Coleman said it was the "biggest tranche of cases" the newspaper group has ever settled.
"The legal costs around these cases are enormous," he added. "MGM put aside £26m to look after all these claims. There are another 50 or so in the pipeline."
Phone hacking was a technique used to listen to people's mobile voicemail. Journalists were able to access private information and use it for stories.
The court heard one of the claimants, James Moir, better known as comedian Vic Reeves, had been suspicious about an article which revealed he and his wife were undergoing fertility treatment - information they had kept private.
Jo Wood - the ex-wife of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, believed tensions between them were increased by the private information appearing in MGN's titles and the distrust caused by the phone-hacking made a potential reconciliation impossible.
David Sherborne, for Mr Clarke, said the activities of MGN in his case had caused "enormous stress" for him and his family.
It caused them to "drastically adapt" their way of life in order to preserve their privacy, he told the judge.
He received a "sincere apology" and undisclosed damages from MGN.
Solicitor Gerald Shamash for author and former politician Lord Archer and his wife Dame Mary Archer, said that MGN accepted that its activities caused "significant damage and distress" to them and members of their family.
Phone hacking: Celebrities win damages from Mirror Group
The judge heard that MGN had paid Ms Kensit a "substantial sum by way of damages".
Her solicitor Callum Galbraith told Mr Justice Mann that MGN's actions caused Ms Kensit distress during "difficult times" when her marriage to Liam Gallagher was breaking down, when her wedding to Jeremy Healey was cancelled and during health scares suffered by her and her son.
In the case of Mr Keegan, the judge heard that MGN had agreed to pay him compensation.
Mr Keegan's solicitor, John Newell, said in a statement: "Discovering that his private communications with his family, friends and associates had been unlawfully accessed was a devastating intrusion."
Mr Newell added: "Kevin is pleased that Mirror Group have acknowledged their wrongdoing and publicly apologised.
"He feels vindicated and believes that justice has been done."
Last year settlement of a number of cases was announced at a hearing before the same judge.
They included actions brought by TV presenter Davina McCall and actors Nigel Havers and Rhys Ifans.
Nottingham Trent University (NTU) said tests showed the blocks have the Reynobond ACM PE panels.
NTU moved 30 students from three of seven blocks at Byron House on Wednesday.
The cladding is thought to have contributed to the spread of the fire that killed at least 80 people.
It is not known when it will be removed, but NTU said it hopes to complete the work by the start of the new academic year in September.
Students who have now finished for the academic year, were relocated to alternative rooms "as a precautionary measure" while investigations took place.
A National Union of Students spokeswoman said: "We are pleased that Nottingham Trent have taken the decision to remove and replace the cladding on it's halls of residence. We hope other universities and halls providers quickly do the same."
The university and University Partnerships Programme, which owns and runs the Nottingham halls, said in a join statement: "The decision has been made to remove and replace the cladding on these three blocks as a matter of urgency.
"This will begin as soon as possible.
"In the event that this is not possible, we will be offering alternative similar accommodation to students who were due to move into one of these three blocks.
"The safety of our staff and students is of paramount importance."
They added that Byron House, which opened in 2013, has a fire detection system with alarms and sensors in every room.
The nine-storey Bryon House is located on Shakespeare Street directly above the university's student union facilities.
Fernando Alonso, fresh from another early exit in qualifying following his McLaren's engine failure, decided to make the most of his spare time to grab a marshal's chair and soak up the sun.
It has been a miserable season for the two-time world champion, who has retired from seven races and finished in the top 10 just twice, but at least he was able to see the funny side.
As did the fans, pouncing on the chance to have a bit of fun with Alonso's antics. And so, #PlacesAlonsoWouldRatherBe was born:
Linda Norgrove, from Lewis, had been working in Afghanistan when she was seized by rebels in September 2010.
She was killed during a rescue attempt by US special forces the following month.
The Linda Norgrove Foundation has so far helped to establish a new school in Kabul in Afghanistan.
It has also awarded university scholarships to 44 girls, five of which are studying medicine, and provided assistance to women's projects.
The charity was set up by 36-year-old Ms Norgrove's parents John and Lorna, who still live in Lewis.
Mr Norgrove told BBC Scotland: "It took our minds off the tragedy of Linda's death.
"The pain does gradually go away with time although it never disappears."
He added: "Four out of 10 people in Afghanistan are under 15 years of age. It is a very young country and their only experience has been one of conflict.
"You cannot just stand by and not help."
Mrs Norgrove said many of the girls the charity had helped regarded her daughter as a role model.
She also said that she believed her daughter would have a mixed response to the idea of her parents setting up a charity.
Mrs Norgrove said: "I think Linda would be both surprised and pleased that we are doing something to help a place she grew to love."
A joint UK and US investigation found that Ms Norgrove was killed by a grenade thrown by one of the American special forces soldiers trying to rescue her.
Her parents spent seven hours with UK and US officers going through the findings, which included footage of the rescue mission.
They said watching the video of the rescue had been "harrowing".
The newspaper has been widely boycotted in the city following a campaign by the Total Eclipse of The S*n group.
Its journalists will no longer be allowed on site to cover matches and press conferences.
The Sun said the move was "bad for fans and bad for football". The club declined to comment.
The Total Eclipse of The S*n group tweeted: "Further to conversations with LFC directors we are happy to inform you that Sun journalists [will] no longer enjoy access to club premises."
A spokesman for the paper said it "deeply regrets" its reporting and understands the damage caused was still felt by many in the city.
"The Sun and Liverpool FC have had a solid working relationship for the 28 years since the Hillsborough tragedy.
"Whilst we can't undo the damage done, we would like to further a dialogue with the city and to show that the paper has respect for the people of Liverpool.
"Banning journalists from a club is bad for fans and bad for football."
On the face of it, it was a low-level embezzlement trial in a small city in a region of Russia best known for its forests and fairy tales.
The case of a former unpaid adviser to the governor of the Kirov region, who was accused of lining his own pockets with unofficial commissions for contracts with a state-owned timber company.
But the trial of Alexei Navalny was much more than that.
For several years he has been a thorn in the side of the Russian political establishment, campaigning against the endemic corruption, and coining a phrase to describe the ruling party United Russia that has stuck in everyone's minds - "the party of crooks and thieves".
In the election years of 2011/12 his significance increased even more, as he became the unofficial leader of the protest movement that brought tens of thousands of people onto the streets. They were the biggest anti-government demonstrations of the Vladimir Putin years.
That was when an old, abandoned investigation into Alexei Navalny's brief time in Kirov was suddenly reheated by the Moscow headquarters of the Russian equivalent of the FBI - the Investigative Committee, or Sledkom.
Sledkom has become a major player in the clampdown on the protest movement, and Alexei Navalny its biggest target to date.
He was arrested, bailed, questioned several times, and then told he would stand trial in Kirov some 500 miles (800km) from his home in Moscow. He had to make the 12-hour train journey for every phase of the trial.
The case was hard fought by both sides, and in his closing remarks to the judge Alexei Navalny was unrepentant.
"We will destroy this feudal society that is robbing all of us," he raged.
"If somebody thought that on hearing the threat of six years in prison I was going to run away abroad or hide somewhere, they were mistaken. I cannot run away from who I am.
"I have nothing else but this, and I don't want to do anything else but to help my country. To work for my fellow citizens."
"This can't go on forever," he added. "A situation in which 140 million people in one of the biggest and richest countries in the world are subjugated by a handful of worthless monsters.
"They are not even oligarchs, who built up their wealth through shrewdness or wisdom. They are a bunch of former Komsomol activists, turned democrats, turned patriots, who grabbed everything into their own hands."
Lilia Shevtsova, an analyst at the Carnegie Center in Moscow, said she had no doubt this was a political trial.
"The whole Navalny case is viewed by the Kremlin as a warning to society. Vladimir Putin would like society to accept the new rules of the game, and the new rules are 'You have to obey us on the principle of total and absolute loyalty. You don't have the right to have ambitions, you have no right to fight for power. Loyalty is the main principle of your behaviour.'"
Only last week Alexei Navalny lodged his papers for his first proper foray into mainstream Russian politics - an attempt to run in the September elections to choose the mayor of Moscow.
Even though he had no access to the government-owned television channels, he was reckoned to be in second place, behind the Kremlin-backed incumbent Sergei Sobanyin.
Before the verdict came through, his campaign team said they would fight on, no matter what.
The campaign chief, internet entrepreneur Leonid Volkov, said: "We will just have to bring more volunteers on to the streets. It's our only strategy. We have made a very clear decision that our campaign will not end.
"He may be in prison, but he won't be expelled from the ballot, because it will take some time for the appeal court hearing to take place."
The analyst Lilia Shevtsova warns that Alexei Navalny's young supporters will be greatly angered by his imprisonment.
"Navalny is becoming a martyr, a new Russian Mandela," she told me. "Of course they will be prepared to confront the authorities in the future."
But she said that his support is still too narrow for this to be a defining political moment.
"There is no danger for the time being of a massive tide. Overall the mood within the population at large is pretty quiet.
"Yes, there is frustration and annoyance, they don't like Putin any more. But few people see a clear alternative. Navalny is not a hero for all people who feel frustrated."
"In order to be a real political figure, not just a social activist and a rebellious figure of the internet, he has to have a political movement behind him - a clear agenda which is much broader and sophisticated than the struggle with corruption."
The 28-year-old Smith, who earned his only cap for Northern Ireland last year, has agreed a two-year contract subject to clearance.
Smith-Brown, 21, came through the City youth ranks and has played for England at youth level.
He has signed a one-season loan deal subject to clearance.
Smith-Brown spent last season on loan at Dutch side NAC Breda and helped them secure promotion to the Eredivisie.
Smith, who joined the Posh from Bristol Rovers in 2014, made 44 appearances as they finished 11th in England's League One last season.
He made his international debut against Slovenia in March 2016.
"As soon as I got here it was clear this is a massive club and it's great to be here," Smith told the Hearts website.
"The facilities, the stadium, the manager, it all seems like a good fit for me. I had a chat with Ian (Cathro, head coach) and everything he said was positive and the way he wants to play suits me down to the ground."
The summer departure of Slovenia's Andraz Struna left Hearts seeking a replacement right-back as competition for 21-year-old Liam Smith.
New signing Smith began his career with hometown club Ballyclare Comrades before moving to Ballymena United, from whom he joined Bristol Rovers in 2011.
Smith-Brown told the Hearts website: "I'm really excited and just can't wait to get started. Hearts are a big club and when you hear they want you to play here then it's hard to turn it down."
He becomes Hearts' sixth signing this summer, with former Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty also joining this week following the additions of Christophe Berra, Cole Stockton, and Rafal Grzelak.

Det Sgt Jan Beasant was found guilty of misconduct in December 2011, following a review of the inquiry into the murder of Blackpool teenager Charlene Downes.
However, a Police Arbitration Tribunal has overturned the finding.
Lancashire Police said it is waiting to view the written reasons for the decision before commenting.
Charlene, 14, disappeared in 2003 and has not been seen since.
Rachel Baines, chair of the Police Federation Lancashire branch said it welcomed the tribunal's decision.
"We only take cases to the tribunal on merit", she added.
The force's head of Professional Standards Supt Simon Giles said: "We respect the decision of the tribunal panel and we are awaiting the written rationale of the panel and we will then consider the findings in detail."
Investigations into the police inquiry began in 2008, after Iyad Albattikhi was cleared of killing Charlene when "grave doubts" were raised around the evidence.
They centred on transcriptions done by Ms Beasant of secretly-recorded conversations between Mr Ilbattikhi and another man, spending 2,500 hours over two years listening to 52 audio tapes.
The quality of the covert recordings was criticised during the trial by defence barristers as "poor" with confidence "low" in the accuracy of the transcriptions.
A review by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said the investigating team were guilty of a strategic and tactical failure in the management of the material.
It added that the covert surveillance was "handled poorly and unprofessionally" and recommended that Ms Beasant face a disciplinary hearing, one officer should receive a written warning and five others should receive words of advice.
Mr Albattikhi was tried in 2007, accused of her murder.
However, a jury at Preston Crown Court was discharged in 2007 when members failed to reach a verdict.
A retrial also collapsed, after the Crown Prosecution Service expressed "grave doubts" about the reliability of the covert surveillance.
Shields, 21, took middleweight gold at London 2012 and Rio 2016 and won her only professional bout in November.
She faces Hungary's Szilvia Szabados at Detroit's MGM Grand on 10 March.
The fight, which tops the bill, airs on the Showtime network, a premium channel which requires traditional cable subscribers to pay an additional fee.
Shields, who ended her amateur career with one loss in 78 contests, will compete for the North American Boxing Federation title - a regional belt - against former world-title challenger Szabados, 26.
The American posted on Instagram: "The NABF was one of the first titles that the great Muhammad Ali fought for and won after his 1960 win at the Olympic Games!!!! To be given the opportunity to follow in his footsteps is an honour! And I'll continue to carry his legacy!"
In December, Great Britain's two-time Olympic champion Nicola Adams said she would "love to see a woman headlining a boxing show".
Adams turned professional in January and makes her debut on 8 April, while Ireland's Katie Taylor - Olympic champion in 2012 - embarks on her third fight in the pro-ranks on the undercard of David Haye's meeting with Tony Bellew on 4 March.
Two people died in the blaze, which broke out at St Michael's Hospice in St Leonards, East Sussex, in the early hours of Saturday.
Police are currently unable to question the suspect because of his ill health.
Jill Moon, 62, and David Denness, 81, from Hastings, died in hospital. Tests are continuing to establish the cause of their deaths.
A 78-year-old woman also died after the fire, but her death is not thought to be linked to the blaze.
Police first arrested the man on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, and later on suspicion of two counts of murder.
Celia Pyke-Lees, hospice chief executive, said police were still waiting to question the man.
She said: "Our main priority now is supporting the patients and their families along with all the hospice staff and volunteers."
Twenty three patients, some terminally ill, were evacuated from the building and are now receiving round-the-clock care from hospice staff at five other sites.
Ms Pyke-Lees said the hospice nursing team, who got all the patients out of the hospice on the night of the fire, were "true heroines".
A social media appeal for items needed by the patients is continuing.
Durban House, which explored the writer's life, was closed by Broxtowe Borough Council to save £80,000 a year.
The authority said the service had not stopped and would merge with Lawrence's birthplace museum in the same town.
Malcolm Gray, chairman of the DH Lawrence Society, said it was a "frustrating" decision.
Alex Khan, cultural services manager at the Conservative-led council, said: "I actually find it quite exciting - it puts the focus of the DH Lawrence Heritage service back somewhere it has a very strong link.
"Lawrence was born there, we've got artefacts that relate to his life and his family and Victorian life - it's a great place to learn about British history as well as about literature and the Lawrence family."
Mr Khan denied the closure was "a slap in the face" following Nottingham's status as a Unesco City of Literature, awarded in December.
However, Mr Gray, who described the writer of Lady Chatterley's Lover as the "greatest author in the English language", said the closure was "disappointing".
"More could have been done in the past to promote the centre, opportunities have been missed," he said.
He said Lawrence's birthplace was too small and had little room to accommodate a school group.
Mr Gray added that the society would "keep fighting" the decision.
The campaign to keep Durban House open was led by Labour MP Gloria De Piero, and supported by screenwriter William Ivory, double Oscar-winning actress Glenda Jackson and actor Robert Lindsay.
Stokes hit an unbeaten 47 as England, currently fifth in the standings, completed a 2-1 series win over Bangladesh in Chittagong.
It was their third successive one-day series victory, following home wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan this year.
"If we carry on like this, we'll achieve our target of being world number one," Stokes told Sky Sports.
Australia are top of the one-day standings, followed by South Africa, New Zealand, India and England.
Stokes scored his maiden ODI international century in the first of three matches against Bangladesh and was named man of the series.
"It's exciting," he added. "The team we have had together for the last 18 months have been playing unbelievable cricket."
In the absence of skipper Eoin Morgan in Bangladesh, Jos Buttler captained the side with Stokes as his vice-captain.
"Me and Jos work quite well," said Stokes. "We're quite aggressive in how we want to play our cricket, not just with the bat and the ball but with field placings."
Bangladesh posted 277-6 after winning the toss and batting first but England won with four wickets and 13 balls to spare.
England coach Trevor Bayliss said he was pleased with half-centuries from inexperienced batsmen Ben Duckett, 21, and Sam Billings, 25, in the pressure of a run chase under the Chittagong lights.
Billings was playing his fifth ODI and Duckett his third, but both have experience from playing for the England Lions development team.
"Billings has a good head on his shoulders," said Bayliss. "The future looks bright for him. Duckett is also a power player. I suppose we are experimenting going forward and some of those are paying dividends."
The coach expects regular ODI skipper Morgan and opening batsman Alex Hales, who both chose not to tour Bangladesh because of security concerns, to come back into the team.
"I would like to think they will," the Australian said. "Morgan has been fantastic for the team and Hales has four centuries this year. The best pressure is from within. It will keep everyone on their toes."
He also praised Buttler for leading the side in the absence of Morgan, saying: "The way he captained the team is a credit to him."
He received a round of applause as he left, something I have never seen with any other departing captain.
I think what he achieved from that very unpromising start was outstanding
Everyone in the media respected and admired him for the way he conducted himself in the job, but much more importantly he took those same credentials and abilities into the dressing room, which is why he was so well respected by his team-mates.
When he became captain in 2009, English cricket was in disarray and he was absolutely the right man for the occasion.
England were going off to the Caribbean with no coach and there was a real air of mistrust and chaos behind the scenes, while just around the corner the Ashes loomed.
No-one really gave them a chance but Strauss and coach Andy Flower formed an excellent bond and a relationship built on trust, with both men keen to develop a strong team spirit and ethic.
What Strauss achieved from that very unpromising start was outstanding. England won the Ashes a few months later before going on to enjoy further success, becoming, amongst other things, the top-ranked Test nation for the first time.
It is always sad to see someone who has given so much effort to the cause have to go. But, although it is a shame, I think it is the right thing to do. Strauss has been very candid in saying that his form has gone and that it will not come back.
What England have to do now is work out what they are going to do - and one of the first things is to grasp the Kevin Pietersen nettle.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Strauss's departure does not change that what has happened. However, there is now a new man at the negotiating table in Alastair Cook and I suspect he will have quite a strong say as to whether he wants to go to India with the baggage that Pietersen represents.
Does he want to have a dressing room which contains a player who has not made himself very popular?
The Pietersen issue is far from cut and dried, but if you had asked the England teams of the 1970s and 1980s if they wanted Geoffrey Boycott in the side, I would bet that quite a significant proportion would say 'no'.
He was not 'Mr Popular' but England got the best out of him, without the help of a team manager or psychotherapist, which did not exist.
My point is that difficult characters can be accommodated within a team.
The difference with Pietersen is that there is a sense of betrayal, not just over the texts he sent but also with his desire to decide which games he played for England and which he did not. That cut against everything that this England team has stood for.
England still have to resolve the issue of Pietersen - and resolve it very quickly. But there will be a very strong feeling that he should prove himself before being recalled.
The first option is to leave him out of the tour to India and see what he does to fight his way back into the team.
Option two is to select him for the matches against India because, when you look at the England team, how on earth are this lot going to win in India without him?
He might not be the most popular man in the world but England need to get the best out of Pietersen. But he would still have to operate within a team environment and show a commitment to English cricket.
That is what Cook faces as he prepares to settle down as England's Test captain.
At the moment, with Strauss retired and Pietersen in exile, the batting line-up against India looks incredibly fragile.
One solution is to promote Jonathan Trott to opener, with Ian Bell batting at three. My own view is that it would be easier to blood a new, young opening batsman rather than ask a middle-order batsman to open.
There are contenders out there for the position of opener alongside Cook, people like Joe Root, Alex Hales and Nick Compton. I think it will be easier to find a replacement up at the top than down in the middle order.
Cook has got an awful lot on his plate, though, and it will not be easy for him. He will need very bit of help and support from his senior players.
Reid Daley, 13, and a friend touched giant hogweed at Moses Gate Country Park, Farnworth on Saturday while playing.
Toxic sap from the weed, which grows near canals and rivers, can increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight, often leading to burns.
Bolton Council said the weed had since been removed from the park.
Reid and three friends found a patch of the plants and started to play amongst them. He woke up the following day with rashes to his skin and was taken to hospital.
He said: "They started to blister up as I was in the sunlight.
"I was in agony, every time I moved or touched something with it it was like someone was poking me with a needle. It just wouldn't stop."
After contact, the burns can last for several months and the skin can remain sensitive to light for many years.
The plant, which resembles cow parsley, can grow about 16ft (5m) high and has leaves up to 5ft (1.5m) wide.
It can be identified by its reddish-purple stem with fine spines, and its spotted leaf stalks.
Mathew Cocklin, Reid's stepfather, said: "I couldn't believe we didn't know about it; most people don't know about it.
"It's just a weed. You are not expecting it to cause severe damage."
The weed originated in the Caucasus mountains and was introduced into Britain by Victorian plant collectors.
An independent panel found the integrity of the process had been "called into disrepute".
It said 25 witness statements from a prior inquiry had been "deliberately withheld" from the panel.
The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) said it would consider the ruling before commenting.
Several schools in Birmingham were investigated amid claims of a Muslim hardliners' plot to control them, known as the Trojan Horse affair, which began in 2014.
The professional conduct panel of the NCTL found its own organisation withheld 25 statements which had been used in an inquiry led by former counter-terror boss Peter Clarke, into the allegations of a plot.
The statements were disclosed at a late stage of the proceedings, the panel said, which was a breach of process and demonstrated a lack of co-operation.
Earlier this year, legal representatives for some of the people whose statements were to be disclosed argued their identities should be protected as agreed when giving evidence to the Clarke report.
But the teachers' lawyers argued the statements should have been disclosed earlier so they could better defend their clients.
The five teachers who had been facing tribunals over alleged professional misconduct are:
The teachers are all worked for the former Park View Trust, a trust which oversaw the running of several schools in Birmingham, including Park View, Golden Hillock and Nansen Primary.
The Clarke inquiry found no evidence of extremism but said "there are a number of people in a position of influence who either espouse, or sympathise with or fail to challenge extremist views".
The inquiry was sparked by the appearance of a letter giving details of an alleged plot to oust some Birmingham head teachers and make their schools adhere to more Islamic principles.
It stated parents could be encouraged to turn against the leadership team if they were told the school is "corrupting their children with sex education, teaching about homosexuals, making their children pray Christian prayers and [carrying out] mixed swimming and sport".
Eventually, the NCTL set up disciplinary hearings against a number of teachers at the schools, accusing them of professional misconduct.
The hearings have been running since 2015.
Lawyers for Monzoor Hussain and Ms Clark issued separate statements saying both parties were relieved the ordeal was over.
"For three years Mr Hussain has been unable to carry out his profession, with all the financial pressures that has caused to his family," a statement said.
Ms Clark's lawyers described the victory as "hollow" as she had fought for a verdict clearing her of any wrongdoing.
An NCTL spokesman said: "The NCTL will carefully consider this latest panel hearing before deciding the next steps in this process."
Teaching union NASUWT said, on behalf of Mr Faraz, that Tuesday's decision raises serious questions about the conduct of the NCTL.
James Fenton, 22, left the ward at the Ulster hospital in July 2010.
His body was found in hospital grounds 10 weeks later, less than 40 metres away.
After the incident, a report was commissioned from Prof Seena Fazel.
Prof Fazel, currently a professor of forensic psychiatry at the University of Oxford, has yet to give evidence.
However, it is understood that his report questioned the way Mr Fenton was assessed and treated when he was voluntarily admitted to the mental health ward.
It suggested that Mr Fenton should have been diagnosed as depressed, and placed under special observation in the ward.
The court heard that if that had happened, he would have been accompanied in the ward smoking area and would have had little opportunity to leave, as he ultimately did.
Prof Fazel reported he believed that Mr Fenton most likely took his own life after leaving the ward.
But two senior psychiatrists have questioned elements of his report.
Dr Neta Chada, a psychiatrist at the neighbouring Southern Trust, also issued two reports, including comments on Prof Fazel's findings.
She told the court she believed the clinicians at the Ulster Hospital had made the correct diagnosis not to consider Mr Fenton as clinically depressed and had made a reasonable decision to place him under general observation, rather than the higher level of special observation which Prof Fazel had considered to be appropriate.
The court also heard from Dr Nial Quigley, a consultant psychiatrist and director of mental health for the South Eastern Trust.
Dr Quigley said he also considered that the junior doctor and other clinicians who oversaw Mr Fenton's admission to the ward did make a reasonable diagnosis.
Both doctors disagreed with Prof Fazel's conclusion that Mr Fenton most likely took his own life and both considered this conclusion to have been speculative given the lack of evidence.
Neither the cause of Mr Fenton's death, nor the date, have ever been established.
Later in evidence, Dr Quigley said that the mental health ward at the Ulster Hospital was a "poor ward for the 21st Century", explaining that an application for a more appropriate facility had been waiting for action for several years.
He also said that Mr Fenton's behaviour suggested a low likelihood of his absconding whilst on the ward.
Dr Quigley also explained that the fence around the smoking area was as much for the privacy of the patients as to discourage them from leaving the area, and was not intended to be "prison-like".
A month before Mr Fenton left the ward, he said, an external body had criticised the ward's smoking area for having "too much security".
Replying to a barrister for the Fenton family, Dr Quigley said he did not accept that James was at high risk of taking his own life after he had left the smoking area of the ward.
He confirmed this, even though nursing staff at the ward had informed the police officers making the initial search for James that he was at high risk.
The inquest later heard from Don Bradley, the assistant director of mental health at the South Eastern Trust.
He gave more details of the level of patients leaving or "absconding" from mental health units.
At Ward 27 at the Ulster in the year before Mr Fenton left it, there had been eight absconding incidents from the smoking area, involving five patients.
Seven of the incidents occurred within just three months when the gate to the smoking area was unlocked.
The gate was later locked using a device which opens in the event of a fire alarm.
The majority of patients in the ward are there voluntarily and can ask to leave if they wish.
Mr Bradley confirmed that there is now more controlled access to the smoking garden, and fewer patients are now absconding from it.
The authority needs to save £37m in 2016/17, £17.5m of which it still has to find, and a total of £80m by 2018.
The public's views are being sought on a 2% rise in council tax, the closure of five fire stations and an overhaul of care for the elderly.
Council leader Stewart Young said the "ambitious" plan must work.
The council said the proposals will "fundamentally change" the way it works and delivers services in the future.
Plans to change the way elderly and disabled people are cared for, including providing more care to people in specially adapted housing rather than in care homes, will save £5m from next year's budget, the authority said.
Like all local authorities, Cumbria County Council is going through difficult times, with major funding cuts in the last five years.
The council leader Stewart Young says it means tough choices - and if the cuts get worse the council could move towards a situation where it only provides services it has to by law.
And, at a time when the number of elderly people in the county is growing, the council is looking to make significant savings in adult social care.
It involves providing more care for people in their own homes and in specially designed housing, rather than in care homes and day centres.
If the plan works, it could save £5m in the next financial year, the council says.
Mr Young admits it's a risky strategy and says "plan B is making plan A work".
Patricia Bell, Carlisle Council's deputy leader, said: "These are extremely tough and challenging times.
"The cuts we have already made have been achieved by internal reshaping and the reduction of the workforce from 10,000 in 2012 to 7,000 now through voluntary redundancy and reduction in the number of managers.
"It is anticipated that this will further reduce to 5,200 by 2018.
"The journey ahead will be difficult but rather than sitting back bemoaning our fate we are actively embracing the change and taking control of our future."
The authority has already saved £150m from its budget since 2011, and in the next three years 1,800 jobs will be cut.
The public consultation runs until 22 January.
Guernsey's environment department is asking the States to defer a debate on the 'width tax' and related charges until January.
They were due to be discussed at December's States sitting but Environment Minister Yvonne Burford says the proposals may be changed.
The plans led to a 2,000-strong protest last month.
The Guernsey Motor Trades Association has also criticised the proposals, claiming charges would cost too much and threaten motor industry jobs.
Campaign group Enough is Enough organised the demonstration in St Peter Port against the 'width tax' as well as plans for a goods and services tax (GST), parking charge hikes and a refuse tax.
K'han Holden, one of the organisers, said: "We're quite proud to have made a difference and to have got the department to look back into the proposals.
"They really do need to throw it out and start afresh - back to the drawing board."
The charges form part of an island transport strategy unveiled in March.
In an email explaining the proposed delay, Deputy Burford said the States remained "committed to introducing this key element of the transport strategy" but wants to address "various concerns".
Deputy Al Brouard, who opposed the strategy, said: "If we as the government have got the strategy wrong, we need to be big enough to admit it.
"Personally I believed we need a new transport strategy which is fit for purpose."
Patrick Lawler, 73, wanted to meet the players before his death so his family launched an appeal on social media.
Granddaughter Kayleigh Lawler Carson posted on Sunday: "I want to get this as a surprise, he's a MASSIVE fan".
Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young and Timothy Fosu-Mensah then turned up at Mr Lawler's home in Wythenshawe before he died on Tuesday.
The initial Facebook plea was shared 1,015 times before the players visited him after training. They posed for photographs and signed autographs while they were there.
Mr Lawler, who had cancer, died 45 minutes later.
Ms Lawler Carson posted: "Please can everyone share I'm trying to get a few of Manchester United players to come and visit my granddad, we asked him the other day if he would like to do anything before his time comes and he said to meet the team.
"And not sure how long we have left with him so I want to get this as a surprise, he's a MASSIVE fan, even tried his hardest to keep his eyes open yesterday to watch the match [Man Utd v Man City derby] but sadly he missed it!
"I know he will be so gutted that he didn't watch it. I'm sure he will be a very happy man if I can get his last wish Thankyou to u all Xxx."
Access to the westbound carriageway at junction 41 has been blocked during morning and evening rush hours since August in a bid to ease congestion.
Transport Minister Edwina Hart said the trial suggested the benefits of partial closure could be worth £180,000 a year.
She said the restrictions would be lifted pending a decision whether to hold a full consultation on closures.
Local traders have complained that the twice-daily closures have hit their business.
But in a letter to assembly members on Friday, Mrs Hart said: "The trial has demonstrated a benefit to the M4 without overall dis-benefit to the local road network.
"The report also states that secondary measures including car parking, footfall, queue lengths and air quality did not show any significant impact attributable to the trial closure."
Peter Black, Liberal Democrat AM for South Wales West, welcomed the decision to end the trial closures but disputed the claim that there was no negative impact on Port Talbot town centre.
"I wonder whether the government officials carrying out this monitoring were in the right town," he said.
"Reading between the lines, I believe that the minister's statement has effectively kicked permanent closure of junction 41 into the long grass."
The slip road had been closed to traffic from 07:00-09:00 and 16:00-18:00 Monday to Friday.
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted 8-1 to leave rates unchanged, but minutes of the meeting showed most members expect the Bank will take some action next month.
Sterling rose as high as $1.3480 following the decision before falling back to $1.3312.
Financial markets had priced in an 80% chance of the Bank cutting rates.
The Bank said: "Most members of the committee expect monetary policy to be loosened in August.
"The precise size and nature of any stimulatory measures will be determined during the August forecast and Inflation Report round."
The only member of the MPC to vote for a rate cut this month was Jan Vlieghe. He was a senior economist at Brevan Howard Asset Management before joining the committee last September.
Interest rates have remained on hold since the Bank cut its key rate to the record low of 0.5% in March 2009.
The MPC is dealing with two competing forces. First, a slowdown in economic growth following the referendum vote, which many economists believe could tip the economy into recession.
Second, a possible increase in inflation sparked by the fall in the value of sterling. At the moment, the data on the former is limited.

The Bank said that some businesses were starting to delay investment projects and postpone recruitment decisions, while a "significant weakening" in activity in the housing market was expected.
Figures released earlier on Thursday showed interest among UK homebuyers fell to its lowest level since mid-2008.
"Taken together, these indicators suggest economic activity is likely to weaken in the near term," the Bank said.
It also said it expected "sizeable falls" in commercial real estate prices in the short term.
However, the MPC raised its expectation for economic growth in the three months to June to 0.5% from a previous forecast of 0.3%.
Aberdeen Asset Management economist Paul Diggle said the Bank had decided that patience was a virtue.
"The next meeting is only three weeks away, and by then Carney and his colleagues will have a few extra post-referendum data points to digest, as well as a new set of forecasts," he said.
"The market should get its way then, with an interest rate cut likely and renewed quantitative easing possible."
Ben Brettell, senior economist at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "It looks almost certain that looser policy will be necessary at some stage to counteract the economic uncertainty posed by the Brexit vote... Rates could conceivably remain at rock bottom for the next five to 10 years."
However, Angus Armstrong, director of macroeconomics at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, was more critical: "The lack of clear direction is more likely to add to economic uncertainty and therefore be detrimental to demand and the economy."
Returns on UK government bond yields rose sharply, with the 10-year yield rising about four basis points to 0.815% after the decision, before easing back to 0.8%.
Bank governor Mark Carney met the new Chancellor, Philip Hammond, on Thursday.
Earlier, Mr Hammond told the BBC he thought Mr Carney was doing an "excellent job".
Star Randel-Hanson killed Derick Marney, 70, at a flat in Vernon Terrace, Brighton, in May 2015.
His body was discovered after suspicious comments Randel-Hanson, 50, made to a tarot card reader on Brighton seafront were reported to police.
He was found guilty of murder after a trial at Croydon Crown Court.
Sussex Police said it was "not clear" what motivated Randel-Hanson to kill his flatmate.
Mr Marney died from a six-inch (15cm) stab wound to his side, which punctured his vital organs.
Det Ch Insp Paul Rymarz said: "He had been living at Marney's flat for several months, apparently on good terms, having first met at a local Spiritualist church.
"However, their relationship seems to have had some problems, culminating a dispute of some kind on the day Marney was killed.
"Randel-Hansen was in the kitchen when Marney came in, and he maintained in court that the fatal injury took place when the victim came in unexpectedly."
The judge sentenced him to a minimum term of 14 years in prison.
The remains of lost World War Two flying boats and anchors from the 18th Century were also investigated and recorded.
The finds were made during the newly-completed three-year Project Samphire.
It involved archaeologists from Scotland and Australia and was funded by the Crown Estate.
Communities from Cape Wrath in the far north to the Solway Firth in the south of Scotland were involved.
A team of maritime archaeologists based in Edinburgh, at WA Coastal & Marine, and also Flinders University of South Australia, led the survey work.
Among the project's highlights were the recording of a group of previously unreported WW2 flying boats in the Firth of Lorn in Argyll.
Divers and fishermen also guided the project team to the locations of 18th, 19th and 20th century shipwrecks.
Wreck sites recorded included that of the Hersilia, an armed iron naval yacht lost in Loch Torridon in 1916, and the Yemassee, an American cargo ship that got into difficulty in Skye's Loch Bharcasaig in 1859.
Also recorded in Loch Torridon were the sites of the Sheila, a ferry that sank in 1927, and another vessel sent to recover it. The Mafeking was lost during the attempted salvage operation.
Near Iona, the archaeologists documented the wreck site of Cathcartpark, a steamship loaded with salt that ran aground on 15 April 1912, the same day the Titanic sank.
The probable remains of Wigtown-based schooner Monreith at Kirkcudbright, and ships' cannons at Shieldaig in the Highlands were also examined.
The project also made 3D scans of ancient grave slabs at Keil in Argyll. Among the carvings on the stones are representations of medieval ships known as Highland galleys.
John McCarthy, of WA Coastal & Marine, thanked scallop divers, beach combers, dive clubs and also scientists at the Scottish Association of Marine Science, near Oban, for their help with the research.
He said: "This project reveals the wealth of knowledge of maritime archaeological sites held within local communities.
"The knowledge gained during the project will help to enrich our knowledge of Scotland's maritime heritage and this will help us to manage and protect this resource for future generations."
The Crown Estate's asset manager, Paul Bancks, added: "What has made the Samphire project special is the way it has harnessed local knowledge to inform how and where investigations took place.
"It's been fascinating to see the discoveries the marine archaeologists have uncovered, with many finds reminding us that leisure, trade, and even conflict have all been played out on the waters around Scotland for many hundreds of years."
McHugh's stoppage-time winner meant the Bairns beat Hibs 3-2, 5-4 on aggregate.
"We're deep into injury time and the two centre-halves are in the opposition box for a long throw-in," Houston told BBC Scotland.
"We take chances. We took a chance tonight, and Bob McHugh scores again - brilliant."
Houston's side now face Kilmarnock in a two-legged final, on Thursday 19 and Sunday 22 May, with the winner playing top-flight football next season.
"We'd have been on our holidays tonight if we'd lost that, and we didn't want that," said Houston, whose side were runners-up in the Championship. "We all spoke about it during the week.
"We wanted to be in that final - normally the second-best team in the league gets to the play-off final. Very difficult game against Kilmarnock - I'll go to their game [against Dundee United on Saturday]. We've already had them watched a number of times."
McHugh has made a habit of coming off the bench to score crucial late goals for Falkirk. He struck late on against Hibs in the sides' previous two meetings - including the first leg of the semi-final - and scored a last-gasp winner at home to Rangers.
On Friday, though, Houston opted to start McHugh, in place of Lee Miller, rather than deploy the striker later in the game.
"He's been chapping my door for three weeks - 'when am I getting a start?'" Houston explained. "I went with tried and trusted, and [John] Baird and Lee have been doing well and scoring lots of goals.
"It was injury that took Bob out the team, not me. But I brought him here because he's a goalscorer. I gave him the opportunity tonight, I thought it was the right time to unleash him because I needed pace in behind a wee bit more, and it worked."
The Falcons are now level on points with Brive and two behind Connacht with two games in the group remaining.
It had been level at the break before 24 unanswered second-half points.
Marcus Watson added to his first-half score and, along with a penalty try as well as efforts from Belisario Agulla and Craig Willis, victory was sealed.
Newcastle: Hammersley; A. Tait, Agulla, C. Harris, Watson; Willis, Takulua; Rogers, Lawson, Welsh, Botha, Robinson, Welch, Temm, Hogg.
Replacements: G. McGuigan, Vickers, Vea, Green, Mayhew, M. Young, Catterick, Socino.
Connacht: Poolman; Parata, Robb, Ronaldson, Adeolokun; O'Leary, Blade; O'Donnell, Harris-Wright, Ah You, Qualter, Browne, O'Brien, Masteron, Naoupu.
Replacements: Delahunt, Bealham, Meunargia, Muldowney, Heffernan, Porter, Carty.
The United States said a decade ago it was making a "long-term strategic bet" on India and the visit showed that India was also ready to reciprocate.
Mr Modi and Mr Obama declared a "global partnership" - indicating that the US was not a mere strategic partner but India's principal strategic partner in the world.
The visit was heavy both on symbolism and substance. Barack Obama became the first US president ever to be the chief guest at India's Republic Day and the first to visit India twice during his presidency.
On the substantive front, the most important takeaway from the Modi-Obama summit is the coming together of India and the US on "grand strategy" in Asia.
The signing of the "Joint Strategic Vision for the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean Region" may sound mild but it is packed with signals - to China. This is the first time India and the US have come together openly to say that they do not want Asia to be dominated by one power.
They will work together to keep freedom of navigation, maritime security and air space safe, especially in the South China Sea. They asserted that all disputes must be resolved within international law.
These are pointed references to China's behaviour in the region where it is embroiled in disputes with the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan and even Indonesia. The statement shows that Mr Modi and Mr Obama share a common assessment on China.
But is also important to remember that this is not an "alliance" against China since both India and the US are economically engaged with Beijing. It is a sort of building of fences to ensure China follows international rules.
The other important takeaway was the renewing of the 10-year India-US defence framework agreement, which envisages more military co-operation between the two countries. The two also decided on four defence projects for co-development and co-production.
Although modest in scope, the projects will help India to start upgrading its defence manufacturing abilities.
The personal equation between Mr Modi and Mr Obama also helped get rid of long-standing problems in putting the civil nuclear deal into operation.
The US made a concession to withdraw its demand to "monitor in perpetuity" any nuclear material it sold to India which, in turn, offered to create an insurance pool to protect US suppliers from law suits.
While some analysts are sceptical of a real breakthrough, at least the two governments have reached an understanding. Now it is up to the private sector companies in the US to take the ball further.
What the latest visit and the personal chemistry between Mr Obama and Mr Modi indicates is that Indo-US relations are set to move to the next level because the top leadership has developed a personal stake in the relationship.
This means pressure on the two bureaucracies to sort out their differences and deliver on the promise of the relationship.
President Obama's public address to Indians as his last event in Delhi was the icing on the cake - he celebrated India's diversity and hoped that the country won't splinter along religious lines or any other lines.
It was a gentle reminder from the visitor that it would take a strong India to face the multiple challenges in Asia.
Differences will remain as between any two friends but the old-style suspicion of each other which manifested itself as knee-jerk anti-Americanism in India and irritation with India in the US, will diminish.
This in the end means a stronger relationship which gives India diplomatic and strategic space against difficult neighbours.
Scientists believe they see evidence of surface material having flowed around mountains and even ponding in craters.
The activity is certainly recent, they say, and may even be current.
But the mission team cautions that it has received only 4-5% of the data gathered during 14 July's historic flyby of the dwarf planet, and any interpretations must carry caveats.
"Pluto has a very complicated story to tell; Pluto has a very interesting history, and there is a lot of work we need to do to understand this very complicated place," said Alan Stern, the New Horizons principal investigator.
In a briefing at the US space agency's HQ in Washington DC, he and colleagues then outlined a number of new analyses based on the limited data-set in their possession.
These included the observation that Pluto has a much more rarified atmosphere than previously predicted by the models.
This statement comes from measurements made by the probe as it was looking back at Pluto following the flyby.
It could tell from the passage of sunlight and radiowaves through the Plutonian "air" that the pressure was only about 10 microbars at the surface (1 microbar is about a millionth of the air pressure on Earth at sea level).
The other key detection was of hazes in the atmosphere. These are likely the consequence of high-up methane being broken apart and processed by sunlight into simple hydrocarbons like ethylene and acetylene, which then fall, cool and condense to form a mist of ice particles.
Some of this material will probably be further processed into more complex chemistry that rains on to the surface to give certain regions their characteristic reddish hue.
But it is the idea of glacial activity having occurred on Pluto that is most likely to capture public attention.
This is interpreted to have happened at the edges of what has become known as Sputnik Planum - the great plain in the western half of Pluto's bright, heart-like feature just north of the equator.
High-resolution imagery from New Horizons' Lorri camera records wavy patterns that look just like the flowing ice of glaciers viewed by satellites at Earth.
And if there was still warmth coming from Pluto's interior then this could allow any surface ices to move and follow a slope, explained co-investigator Bill McKinnon from Washington University in St Louis.
"Water-ice at Pluto temperatures won't move anywhere; it's immobile and brittle," he told reporters. "But on Pluto, the kind of ices we think make up the planum (nitrogen ice, carbon monoxide and methane ices) - these ices are geologically soft and malleable, even at Pluto conditions, and they will flow in the same way that glaciers flow on Earth.
"So, we actually have evidence for recent geological activity."
His definition of "recent" was "no more than a few tens of millions of years". "And what we know about nitrogen ice and what we can estimate about the heat-flow coming from the interior of Pluto - there's no reason why this stuff cannot be going on today."
New Horizons continues to observe Pluto even though it has moved some 12 million km beyond the dwarf planet.
The probe is looking at the world as it makes its slow rotation (one Pluto day lasts 6.4 Earth days).
In about a week's time, this observation will cease and the spacecraft will be spun up.
This will permit systems that ordinarily are used to help maintain three-axis stability to be turned off.
Their power sacrifice can then be diverted to the transmitter to boost its output.
In September, engineers will command New Horizons to start sending back all of the outstanding scientific data it gathered during the flyby.
This stored information will be brought down in a compressed form first of all, followed by an uncompressed return.
The whole process - encompassing all observations of Pluto and its five moons - will not be completed until late 2016.
However, the New Horizons team says it will share the discoveries as they are made during the long downlinking period.

"Mr and Mrs Swan", described as "big friends of the community", have made national headlines for holding up the traffic as they waddled through the Cornish resort of Perranporth.
However, she was killed last week and now he has been hurt in a new attack.
Witnesses said blood could be seen "all over" the stricken bird.
Witnesses to the latest attack, on Saturday, described three or four springer spaniels pinning the swan down as he tried to make his way down the beach.
He was taken to be treated by the RSPCA.
Thankfully, Mr Swan's wound is said to be superficial and the bird has been returned to his boating lake home.
Annie Mayes, who waited with the swan for help to arrive, said: "Everybody is gutted; they are so upset that this has happened again."
Some bird lovers have taken to Facebook to share their anger. One, Nick Joy, said: "This is a warning to people. It's time something was done before it's a person... a child!"
The owner of the dogs - which are not believed to be the same animals that killed Mrs Swan - is said to be "gutted" and offered to pay for Mr Swan's treatment.
Concerned locals are now calling for dog owners to keep their pets on leads at the lake and on the beach.
The Carron Fish Bar in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, attracts tourists from around the world who want to try the recipe.
It proudly displays a banner on the side of the building claiming staff there invented the snack.
But Aberdeenshire Council has now said it must come down "for the good of the wider community".
The deep fried Mars bar has become synonymous with negative aspects of the Scottish diet since 1995 when the Daily Record reported on "Scotland's craziest takeaway" being served at the Stonehaven chippy, previously named The Haven.
"Sweet-toothed youngsters are ordering their favourite choc bars deep-fried in batter," the Record said.
By 2004, the reputation of the snack had travelled the Atlantic and it was mentioned on the Jay Leno Show in the US.
Carron Fish Bar owner Lorraine Watson said the proposed ban was "ridiculous" and she would "definitely not" be taking the banner down.
Mrs Watson said: "Thousands and thousands of tourists come from all over the world to purchase the deep fried Mars bar from the birthplace.
"They stand outside under the banner with their Mars bar, smiling from ear to ear, then go home and let all their friends and family see it.
"We have no idea why the council would want this banner taken down, bearing in mind it takes thousands of visitors to the town.
"Isn't that what we are trying to do? Aren't we trying to boost tourism in Scotland?"
Aberdeenshire Council issued Mrs Watson with the ban as part of a plan to smarten up business premises in the town.
A council letter sent to her said: "Following a thorough walkabout and inspection, an action plan has been drawn up.
"Many of the actions would fall to individual property owners and one of them relates to your property. What needs to be done: Remove banner."
A spokesman for Aberdeenshire Council said: "Together with a range of community organisations we have been looking at ways to improve the look of Stonehaven for the benefit of residents, businesses and visitors.
"An action plan has been created in conjunction with the Stonehaven Town Partnership, Community Council, Stonehaven Business Association and the Horizon Group.
"As part of the action plan we have asked some owners in the area to consider making alterations to their properties. This included asking the owners of The Carron Fish Bar to consider removing their banner.
"We do not wish to prevent the owners from promoting their business and we would be happy to have discussions with them regarding the banner."
It is not the first time Mrs Watson has faced a fight over the treat.
Chocolate giant Mars wrote to her in 2012 distancing itself from the recipe.
The company said it could not authorise or endorse the product which went against its policy of promoting a "healthy lifestyle".
The Supreme Court agreed with insurers who claimed an assembly law passed in 2013 was outside its competence.
The court said Welsh ministers had no right to impose charges to fund the NHS, and insurers should not be given extra liabilities for asbestos exposure which long predated the bill.
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) welcomed the judgement.
"The Welsh Bill would have seen increased insurance premiums for Welsh businesses but no extra compensation for mesothelioma sufferers," said a spokesperson.
"The insurance industry remains committed to doing all it can to help the victims of this terrible disease and would be happy to work constructively with the Welsh Government on this issue, as it does on other public policy."
Pontypridd AM Mick Antoniw, who first proposed the bill, said he was "gutted" at the ruling, having predicted the measure could have raised £1m a year for the NHS in Wales.
The bill had been referred to the Supreme Court by the Welsh government's Counsel General Theodore Huckle following objections from the insurance industry.
The Welsh government said it would give "careful consideration to this judgment".
Presiding Officer Dame Rosemary Butler called for "greater clarity" so everyone understood what laws the assembly could pass.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled in favour of the assembly on changes to local government by-laws and the re-establishment of the Agricultural Wages Board which had been abolished by the UK government.
Haider al-Abadi appeared on state TV wearing combat fatigues and said: "They have no choice. Either they surrender or they die."
Iraqi special forces are now about 1km (0.6 miles) away from Mosul's eastern edge and preparing to enter.
Units of the army are meanwhile advancing from the south.
Using another name for IS, Mr al-Abadi said: "We will close in on Daesh from all angles and God willing we will cut the snake's head. They will have no way out and no way to escape."
Mr al-Abadi is the commander-in-chief of the Iraqi armed forces.
The BBC's Ian Pannell, who is travelling with Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) troops, says there was some resistance to their advance on Monday.
He said IS car bombs targeted the convoy.
When Daesh (a term for IS) entered Mosul, they killed my father because he was a police officer. I got away - they didn't come after me.
My village was besieged for two years and a couple of months. If I had spoken to anyone about being in the police or army, Daesh would have killed me.
It happened to many of my close friends. They would go to their homes and Daesh would just take them away.
Daesh are just beards. They force you to attend all the prayers at the mosque. If your woman is not wearing a hijab, they will whip you - they have complete control.
Units of the Iraqi military recaptured some villages to the east, north and south of Mosul on Monday, according to the army.
It is unclear when the final offensive on Mosul will begin, and resistance from IS in the city has intensified.
About 50,000 Iraqi security forces personnel, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, Sunni Arab tribesmen and Shia militiamen are involved in the offensive, which began more than two weeks ago, to drive IS militants out of their last major urban stronghold in the country.
Mosul fell to the jihadists in June 2014 and their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, chose a mosque in the city as a place to proclaim the establishment of a "caliphate".
Before the offensive began on 17 October, there were believed to be between 3,000 and 5,000 militants remaining in Mosul, along with up to 1.5 million civilians.
More than 17,700 residents have fled so far and, according to the UN's worst-case scenario, as many as 700,000 others could follow suit.
It said Saeed died in Achin in Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province on Friday night.
But IS has rejected the claims, telling the BBC Hafiz Saeed Khan "is alive".
Some 30 other militants were reportedly killed in the strike, but there has been no independent verification.
Although IS denied Saeed's death, the group did confirm that Shahidullah Shahid, a former member of the Pakistani Taliban who defected to the group, was killed in the drone attack.
He was the most prominent of a group of fighters who appeared in a video in January, apparently filmed in Pakistan, pledging allegiance to the self-styled Islamic State.
Malvi Abdurrahim Muslimdost, a leader of the group in Afghanistan, told the BBC another senior member, Gul Zaman, had also died.
It is the first time IS has confirmed the death of two of its top leaders, Inayatulhaq Yasini from the BBC's Pashto service reports.
He says their loss is a big blow for the group in the region.
The Afghan intelligence agency, the NDS, said Friday's strike was carried out by US-led coalition forces in coordination with intelligence provided by the spy agency.
Nato forces have had a new mandate since the start of the year but can still carry out drone strikes.
An NDS spokesman told the BBC that this attack, combined with a drone strike on Tuesday, would have a significant impact on security for Afghanistan.
The Afghan government has not confirmed the deaths.
This is only the third time that US-led forces have agreed to use drones against IS in Afghanistan, says the BBC's David Loyn in Kabul, showing the seriousness which both the government here and the international coalition are taking the threat of the organisation taking root in Afghanistan.
There had been reports in April that Saeed was killed while planting a bomb.
Nangarhar's Achin district is close to the border with Pakistan. The Islamic State group refers to the Afghanistan-Pakistan region as Khorasan state.
Nangarhar has seen an upsurge of fighting in recent weeks, mostly between IS and the Taliban, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes.
The province is one of the areas where IS militants are most active in Afghanistan.
Tuesday's strike also killed another senior IS commander and scores of militants, intelligence officials say.
Another IS militant commander, Mullah Abdul Rauf, was reported killed in a drone strike in February.
The NDS recently released a video on Facebook showing how its special forces were fighting against the IS threat.
IS first made its presence felt in Pakistan in April, when its regional spokesman claimed its fighters had shot dead three Pakistani soldiers.
The 31-year-old was part of the Brazil squad at the 2014 World Cup and has also played for Lazio and Inter Milan.
He joins former Arsenal forward Gervinho, former QPR midfielder Stephane Mbia and former PSG striker Ezequiel Lavezzi at Hebei.
Argentine forward Lavezzi reportedly earns £400,000 a week at the club.
Hebei China Fortune are managed by former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini and are currently training in Marbella, Spain, with the new Chinese Super League season starting at the end of February.

With five tonnes of explosives that's how!
The demolition happened in Wuhan, China and was to make way for a new 700m tall skyscraper and business park.
Officials said “The demolition effect was quite ideal." And also that the massive explosion "didn't affect the light rail and public facilities around the blasted buildings."
Which is a good job as right next to the demolition site are a number of busy roads and also a railway line!
Very few people thought he would actually run, then he did. They thought he wouldn't climb in the polls, then he did. They said he wouldn't win any primaries, then he did. They said he wouldn't win the Republican nomination, then he did.
Finally, they said there was no way he could compete for, let alone win, a general election.
Now he's President-elect Trump.
Here are five ways he pulled off what was unexpected by most and incomprehensible to many.
Toss-ups were tossed aside. One after another, Ohio, Florida and North Carolina went to Mr Trump.
That left Mrs Clinton's blue firewall, and the firewall was eventually breached.
The Democrat's last stand largely rested on her strength in the Midwest. Those were states that had gone Democrat for decades, based in part on the support of black and working-class white voters.
Those working-class white people, particularly ones without college education - men and women - deserted the party in droves. Rural voters turned out in high numbers, as the Americans who felt overlooked by the establishment and left behind by the coastal elite made their voices heard.
While places like Virginia and Colorado held fast, Wisconsin fell - and with it Mrs Clinton's presidential hopes.
When all is said and done, Mrs Clinton may end up winning the popular vote on the back of strong support in places like California and New York and closer-than-expected losses in solid-red states like Utah.
The Trump wave hit in the places it had to, however. And it hit hard.
Mr Trump insulted decorated war veteran John McCain.
He picked a fight with Fox News and its popular presenter, Megyn Kelly.
He doubled down when asked how he once mocked the weight of a Hispanic beauty pageant winner.
He offered a half-hearted apology when the secret video surfaced of his boasting about making unwanted sexual advances towards women.
He gaffed his way through the three presidential debates with clearly lightly practised performances.
None of it mattered. While he took dips in the polls following some of the more outrageous incidents, his approval was like a cork - eventually bouncing back to the surface.
Perhaps the various controversies came so hard and fast that none had time to draw blood. Maybe Mr Trump's personality and appeal was so strong, the scandals just bounced off. Whatever the reason, he was bulletproof.
He ran against the Democrats. He also ran against the powers within his own party.
He beat them all.
Mr Trump built a throne of skulls out of his Republican primary opponents. Some, like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Ben Carson, eventually bent knee. The holdouts, like Jeb Bush and Ohio Governor John Kasich, are now on the outside of their party looking in.
And for the rest of the party insiders, from House Speaker Paul Ryan on down? Mr Trump didn't need their help - and, in fact, may have won because he was willing to take a stand against them.
Mr Trump's pox-on-them-all attitude is likely to have proved his independence and outsider status at a time when much of the American public reviled Washington (although not enough to keep them from re-electing most congressional incumbents running for re-election).
It was a mood some other national politicians sensed - Democrat Bernie Sanders, for instance, as well as Mr Cruz. No one, however, captured it more than Trump, and it won him the White House.
The polls clearly did a woeful job predicting the shape and preferences of the electorate, particularly in Midwestern states. In the final days of the campaign, however, the reality is that the polls were close enough that Mr Trump had a pathway to victory.
That pathway didn't look nearly as obvious about two weeks ago, before FBI director James Comey released his letter announcing that they were reopening their investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.
True, the polls were tightening a bit, but Mr Trump's sharpest rise in the standings came in the weeks between that first letter and Mr Comey's second, in which he said he had put the investigation back on the shelf.
It seems likely that during that period, Mr Trump was able to successfully consolidate his base, bringing wayward conservatives back into the fold and shredding Mrs Clinton's hopes of offering a compelling closing message to US voters.
Of course, Mr Comey's actions never would have been a factor if Mrs Clinton had decided to rely on State Department email servers for her work correspondence. That one is on her shoulders.
Mr Trump ran the most unconventional of political campaigns, but it turned out he knew better than all the experts.
He spent more on hats than on pollsters. He travelled to states like Wisconsin and Michigan that pundits said were out of reach.
He held massive rallies instead of focusing on door-knocking and get-out-the-vote operations.
He had a disjointed, sometimes chaotic national political convention that was capped by an acceptance speech that was more doom-and-gloom than any in modern US political history.
He was vastly outspent by the Clinton campaign, just as he was during the Republican primaries. He turned consensus wisdom about how to win the presidency on its head.
All of these decisions - and many more - were roundly ridiculed in "knowledgeable" circles.
In the end, however, they worked. Mr Trump and his closest confidants - his children and a few chosen advisers - will have the last laugh. And they'll do it from the White House.
The pair charged with the murder of Kepari Leniata, 20, are related to a six-year-old boy they accused her of using sorcery to kill, police said in a statement.
Ms Leniata was doused in petrol and set on fire in Mount Hagen on 6 February.
The case has drawn public condemnation, including from Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, who called it "barbaric".
Cecile Pouilly, spokesperson for the UN's human rights office, on 8 February expressed "great concern" over the incident.
"We urge the government to put an end to these crimes and to bring perpetrators of attacks and killings to justice through thorough, prompt and impartial investigations in accordance with international law," she said.
In parts of the Pacific nation deaths and mysterious illnesses are sometimes blamed on suspected sorcerers. Several reports have emerged in recent years of accused people, usually women, being killed.
In 2009, after a string of such killings, the chairman of Papua New Guinea's Constitutional Review and Law Reform Commission said defendants were using accusations of witchcraft as an excuse to kill people, and called for tougher legislation to tackle the issue.
The police have interviewed at least 40 people in connection with the incident.
The two who have been charged, from a village in the Laiagam district, are the boy's mother and uncle, according to a report in The National newspaper on Monday.
"We are not finished," provincial police commander Martin Lakari was quoted by paper as saying.
"If any evidence or reports come in later saying other people involved are still at large, we will also arrest them."
Police and fire-fighters were unable to intervene at the time because they were outnumbered by the crowd and chased away.
Tolimir's role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre was significant enough to justify the genocide conviction, the war crimes tribunal ruled.
Parts of his 2012 conviction were overturned, including the expulsion of Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) from Zepa.
More than 7,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered at Srebrenica.
The massacre by Bosnian Serb forces was Europe's worst mass killing since World War Two.
Tolimir, 66, was the "right hand man" of Bosnian Serb commander Gen Ratko Mladic, judges ruled in the original trial. Gen Mladic is also on trial in The Hague.
"In light of these genocide convictions alone, the appeals chamber considers that Tolimir's responsibility does not warrant a revision of his sentence," Judge Theodor Meron said on Wednesday.
Nathan Matthews, 29, was jailed for 33 years for murdering his 16-year-old stepsister in a sexually-motivated kidnap plot and dismembering her body.
Shauna Hoare, 22, was cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter and jailed for 17 years.
The latest ruling comes after a judge rejected an earlier application by the pair to appeal.

The Court of Appeal said there was no "reasonable argument" the convictions were unsafe or the sentences "manifestly excessive".
The teenager's dismembered body was found after she went missing from her home in Bristol in February 2015.
Her disappearance was initially treated as a missing person investigation by police.
The trial in November heard she was suffocated by Matthews and her body transported to her stepbrother's home, where it was hidden in a shed.
Jurors were told Matthews and Hoare shared a dislike of Becky and a sexual interest in teenage girls, which were motives in their plot to kidnap her.
The couple shared texts just weeks before the teenager's death, referring to kidnapping schoolgirls and teen-themed pornography was found bookmarked on a phone which they shared.
In March, Becky Watt's father Darren Galsworthy told the BBC the pair "had destroyed his family".
Becky Watts father 'would pull lever himself' if death penalty available
Murder was culmination of 'sexually motivated' kidnap
Teen 'was just beginning to enjoy life'
Det Insp Richard Ocone, from Avon and Somerset Police, said: "Our thoughts remain with Becky's family and friends who have had to endure several court hearings following the trial last year.
"We hope they will be able to take some closure from this decision which was the last attempt by Nathan Matthews and Shauna Hoare to challenge their prison sentences."
In February, a carved wooden bench was unveiled in memory of Becky in the city. A community garden is being created in Barton Hill close to where her body was discovered.
Becky's family has raised £4,000 for the Support After Murder and Manslaughter charity which helps bereaved families.
Two other men - Donovan Demetrius, 29, and James Ireland, 23 - were acquitted of a charge of assisting an offender, related to the moving and storage of Becky's body parts.
Former Dundee United teammates David Goodwillie and David Robertson were ordered to pay damages to Denise Clair following a hearing in January.
Judge Lord Armstrong ruled the men should pay Ms Clair £100,000.
But the finding has now been put on hold for eight weeks while lawyers apply for legal aid to fund the appeal.
Ms Clair, who previously waived her right to anonymity, sued Goodwillie and Robertson at the Court of Session after the Crown decided not to prosecute.
She said the two men raped her at a flat in West Lothian in January 2011.
The mother-of-one maintained she was incapable of giving free agreement to sex because of her alcohol consumption.
Goodwillie and Robertson claimed that intercourse had been consensual, but Lord Armstrong said Ms Clair's evidence was "cogent, persuasive and compelling" and ruled against them.
The trouble was reported early on Monday, a day after the body of a man who escaped from the centre was found near cliffs.
One man being held at the centre told New Zealand's TVNZ that guards had abandoned the centre after "riots".
Australia's Department of Immigration said there were reports of damage.
But it said in a statement that the perimeter of the centre remained secure and there were no reports of injuries.
Australia sends asylum seekers to Christmas Island, a remote outpost 2,650km (1,650 miles) north-west of Perth and 380km south of Java in Indonesia.
They are also sent to Manus Island in Papua New Guinea and Nauru in the South Pacific.
The Christmas Island centre also houses New Zealanders facing deportation. The number of New Zealanders in the centre has increased since Canberra began cancelling visas of those with criminal records.
Media in New Zealand said the man who escaped on Saturday was an Iranian Kurd named Fazel Chegeni.
His body was found a day later, Australia's Department of Immigration and Border Protection said. The death is now being investigated.
"Like so many others, Fazel was suffering the effects of long-term arbitrary detention," Ian Rintoul, of the Refugee Action Coalition group, told the Sydney Morning Herald.
"He had told other detainees that he could no longer stand being in detention and just wanted 'to go outside'."
Kelvin Davis, an MP with New Zealand's opposition Labour party, visited the Christmas Island centre last month and remains in contact with people there.
"A detainee was asking a guard how that person died and got punched in the face for his efforts and that's what's really set things off," he told Radio NZ.
One detainee, Ricky Downs, told TVNZ the guards "freaked out and left".
"There are fires everywhere, holes in the wall and the canteen has been smashed to pieces," he said.
The immigration department said it was working to "restore the good order of the centre".
The government says the journey the asylum seekers make is dangerous and controlled by criminal gangs and they have a duty to stop it. Critics say opposition to asylum is often racially motivated and is damaging Australia's reputation.
Its policy was branded a "disaster" by Human Rights Watch's Australia director in July. The group also raised concern over conditions at the Manus camp.
Last February, an Iranian man was killed during a riot at the camp. The trial of a Salvation Army worker and a camp guard accused over his murder restarts later this month.
The US economy added 173,000 jobs in August, which was slightly below analysts' forecasts.
However, the jobless rate dropped to 5.1%, which is the lowest since April 2008.
The FTSE 100 index - which had been down about 1.7% before the figures were released - dropped further, closing down 151 points, or 2.4%, at 6,042.92.
The jobs report is the last before the US Federal Reserve meets later this month to determine whether to increase interest rates.
Analysts said the jobs data failed to give a clear cut indication of what the Fed would do.
"Although there were no fireworks in the report, it was by no means disappointing," said Ranko Berich, head of market analysis at Monex Europe.
Among individual shares, Next shares dropped 2.9% after Exane BNP Paribas cut its rating on the firm to "underperform" from "neutral".
Retail shares also came under pressure after a downbeat survey from accountancy and business advisory firm BDO.
The study found High Street sales were down 4.3% in August from a year earlier.
In the FTSE 250, shares in online betting company Bwin.party gave up early gains to stand 4.5% lower. Bwin has agreed to a £1.1bn takeover offer from GVC, having previously accepted a rival offer from 888 Holdings. Shares in 888 were up 1%.
On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.46% against the dollar to $1.5187, and dropped 0.4% against the euro to €1.3659.
The high winds have left a trail of destruction in the south-east of the US. They are the tail-end of the first hurricane to hit Florida in a decade.
One person was killed before Hurricane Hermine was reclassified as a storm.
Tens of millions of Americans on the Atlantic coast are still threatened, officials have warned.
The East Coast continues to face a mix of dangerously high winds and heavy rains, they say.
The storm caused considerable damage on Friday and Saturday morning in Florida and Georgia, cutting off power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses.
Hermine remains a threat to Americans who live on the coast between South Carolina and Rhode Island, officials say, and is expected to bring widespread localised flooding.
Storm conditions are expected to reach New York on Sunday.
"Hermine not only threatens to foil weekend getaways at the beach, but has the potential to cause damage in some communities and pose risk to the lives of those who venture in the surf or on the seas," meteorologist Alex Sosnowski told Accuweather.com.
The storm is predicted to make its way northwards along the Carolina coast before gaining momentum and moving into the Atlantic on Saturday, possibly reaching near-hurricane strength by late Sunday, the National Hurricane Center said.
The threat of severe weather has led to the cancellation of concerts over the weekend and the closure of beaches in several coastal communities.
The storm has also interrupted the Labor Day weekend plans of thousands of holiday-makers who traditionally visit beaches along the Atlantic seaboard. Florida's tourism industry has been badly affected.
In the town of Cedar Key, waters rose more than 9.5ft (2.9m), among the highest surges ever seen, according to the National Weather Service.
In total about 150,000 households are without power in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, utility companies reported on Saturday.
Speaking at Labour conference, he said fracking, which involves gas being extracted from shale rock, would make the UK dependent on fossil fuels when the priority should be clean energy.
Labour would focus on developing a low carbon energy industry, he said.
The government says fracking could provide the UK with greater energy security and create jobs.
But opponents argue it is bad for the environment and say shale gas projects will make the UK's climate change targets impossible to achieve.
In an energy and environment policy launch in September, Jeremy Corbyn pledged to outlaw fracking, saying it was "not compatible with climate change prevention".
In a speech to the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Mr Gardiner confirmed plans for a ban.
He said: "Fracking locks us into an energy infrastructure that is based on fossil fuels long after our country needs to have moved to clean energy.
"So today I am announcing that a future Labour government will ban fracking.
Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside.
Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well.
The process can be carried out vertically or, more commonly, by drilling horizontally to the rock layer and can create new pathways to release gas or can be used to extend existing channels.
The term fracking refers to how the rock is fractured apart by the high pressure mixture.
Mr Gardiner added: "We will consult with our colleagues in industry and the trade unions about the best way to transition our energy industry to create the vital jobs and apprenticeships we are going to need for the UK's low-carbon future."
He said the clean energy and low-carbon technologies workforce represented just 6% of the economy but were responsible for 30% if its growth.
"We've got to unlock the full potential of this sector," he told conference, saying it meant skilled jobs, growth, clean air and "a healthy secure future for our children".
"Britain is at the beginning of an incredible transformation of our energy system. The next Labour government will launch a new programme called 'Repowering Britain' that puts you in control," he added, saying the UK needed to "localise" the way energy is produced and stored.
Hannah Martin, energy campaigner at Greenpeace UK, welcomed the proposed ban and "democratisation" of energy in the UK.
"Support for community energy schemes can empower the people of Britain to take back control from the stranglehold of the Big Six, and choose cleaner and increasingly cheaper energy than the fracked gas and nuclear reactors being pushed by the government."
Jesse Norman MP, government minister for industry and energy, criticised Labour's plan to ban fracking, saying it showed the party was "not a credible alternative government".
"As Labour themselves have said, the safe development of shale can create jobs and improve our energy security - that's why the government supports shale and will ensure local residents benefit from the proceeds.
"Labour are totally divided over how to provide the energy our country needs, and even Labour-supporting unions say their plans 'will not keep the lights on'," he said.
Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas also said Labour's commitment to a fracking ban was "extremely welcome", as the process posed "risks to local communities" and "risks undermining our climate change commitments".
But she also urged Labour to "rethink" its support for the Hinkley Point nuclear power plant project.
But Gary Smith, the GMB union's Scotland secretary, said ruling out fracking was "madness", saying the UK would be dependent on gas for decades.
"We will have to confront the fact that we will be buying gas from hangmen, henchmen and head-choppers. We don't think that's ethical. We have world-class regulators and world-leading standards in terms of monitoring. Ruling it out now is madness," he told the Press Association.
Under government plans put out to consultation in August, residents affected by fracking could be paid some of the proceeds of shale gas projects.
A shale wealth fund was announced in 2014 to set aside up to 10% of the tax proceeds from fracking to benefit communities in the UK hosting wells.
But the government is now considering paying the money directly to individual households instead of councils and local trusts.
Maithripala Sirisena said the truth of what happened in the conflict needed to be established and justice delivered.
On Monday for the first time Tamil politicians in the former war zone in the north and east were allowed to hold a memorial event for dead civilians.
However, police surveillance was high. Other demonstrations were banned.
"We were all happy when the war ended. But can we be happy with the developments post-war?" Mr Sirisena said during commemorations on Tuesday.
"We were not able to win hearts and minds of people. The true reconciliation could only be achieved by winning hearts and minds."
In a statement issued on Sunday, Human Rights Watch expressed doubts about the new administration's commitment to address the allegations of human rights abuses and war crimes during the last stages of the civil war.
Mr Sirisena's remarks, however, are another sign of a changed emphasis since his unexpected election victory over the more nationalistic former president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, in January, reports the BBC's Charles Haviland.
Our correspondent says Mr Sirisena appears to be acknowledging that more remains to be discovered about how many Tamil civilians died or disappeared in murky circumstances - and about whether Tamil Tiger leaders were killed after surrendering.
There are also many more unsolved rights issues dating back decades.
For the past five years, the war's end was celebrated as "Victory Day" by the Rajapaksa government, but the new administration has said it will be observed as "Remembrance Day" to mark the sacrifices made by all those died, irrespective of their ethnicity, reports BBC Sinhala's Azzam Ameen.
Monday's memorial event by Tamil politicians was another notable change.
The ceremony was conducted on the beach of Mullivaayikkal in Mulaithivu district where the final battle took place. The ceremony was attended by the Chief Minister of the Northern Province CV Vignaswaran and many other members of the provincial council.
Since 30 years of civil war ended in May 2009, annual victory day military parades in Sri Lanka have been held with tanks and artillery, while fighter jets fly overhead.
In contrast, the Tamil community in the north and east was prevented from any attempts at public memorials. Political party offices and media institutions were surrounded by government troops and roads to some Hindu religious shrines closed in order to deny any attempts at commemoration.
But this year, things were different.
Monday's ceremony at Mullivaayikkal was part of Remembrance Week, which began on 12 May. Several religious events were held throughout the north and east to commemorate the civilian lives lost.
According to UN estimates, between 80,000 and 100,000 people were killed in the conflict. Some reports have suggested about 40,000 Tamil civilians may have been killed in the final few weeks.
Peace campaigners have repeatedly warned against major victory celebrations that could further alienate the country's communities.
Mr Rajapaksa and his supporters commemorated the war anniversary separately on Monday and blamed the new government for not celebrating it as a victory.
The female pug, thought to be three or four years old, was thrown from a car in Writtle, near Chelmsford, on Sunday.
Vets fear the tan-coloured dog, which they have named Crumble, may not survive.
The RSPCA said there are signs she had given birth to several litters and may have been discarded by a breeder. It is not known if she was paralysed before, or during, the incident.
RSPCA inspector Lucy Brennan said: "It isn't clear whether Crumble sustained these injuries during this horrific incident, or whether she had already suffered these injuries and those responsible were simply trying to get rid of her.
"As our extensive investigations into the unscrupulous, underground puppy trade have revealed, puppy farmers have little use for a breeding bitch when she can no longer produce puppies for them to sell."
Ms Brennan added: "If Crumble had come to the end of her puppy-bearing life then it may be that her cruel and callous owners have decided to discard her.
"Similarly, puppy dealers are looking to make as much money as possible from their stock so do not want to be faced with unexpected veterinary costs.
"If Crumble became injured or sick, then that would be another reason for them to get rid of her."
The RSPCA is appealing for anyone who may know where Crumble has come from or who may have seen her being thrown from the car to get in touch with the charity.
Firefighters and specialist search and rescue teams were called to the former Duke of Edinburgh pub on Crabtree Street at about 18:00 BST on Monday.
The six 15-year-old boys had been seen "in and around the building" before it collapsed, Lancashire Police said.
No-one is believed to have been seriously hurt.
An investigation into the cause of the collapse is under way.
Fans were alarmed at the threat of Rangers International Football Club possibly going into administration if a proposed open offer of shares fails.
An announcement was made to the Stock Exchange on Friday.
It revealed RIFC is seeking to raise £3.7m by offering more than 19 million shares to existing shareholders.
The open offer is not underwritten, though, and needs at least 15 million of the shares to be taken up to succeed.
The announcement emphasised that the £3.7m is required to pay creditors and meet working capital needs, and that if the offer fails, RIFC could fail to meet their undertakings.
Emergency funding would need to be sought, with the money required to cover a shortfall in season tickets, with 15,000 fans having refused to renew this summer.
Dissatisfaction with the board is long-standing, as is the club's fundamental financial problems - with a further share issue planned for October - and fans expressed their anger and frustration on Saturday.
Red cards were handed out before kick-off at Ibrox, and disgruntled fans held them up in the 18th and 72nd minutes, with the club having been founded in 1872. A further protest was also planned for outside the main entrance to Ibrox following the end of the game.
Fans have been opposed to the board and the shareholders who have an influence on the directors since the annual general meeting last December. Supporters are also opposed to Mike Ashley, the owner of Newcastle United, raising his stake in Rangers.
That discontent found its voice at Ibrox, and is likely to continue in the following weeks as the financial situation remains unstable.
Scottish Business Minister Fergus Ewing had asked to take part in the talks, which are being attended by his UK counterpart Sajid Javid.
But Mr Javid said it would not be possible to accommodate Mr Ewing's request.
A UK department of business spokesman said Mr Javid was representing the whole of the UK in his meetings.
Last week, Tata Steel announced it would be mothballing Scotland's last two major steelworks.
The move will see 225 jobs go at the Dalzell plate rolling works in Motherwell, and 45 posts at the Clydebridge plant in Cambuslang.
Tata has also announced the loss of 900 posts at its facility in Scunthorpe, while about 2,200 jobs are to go with the closure of the SSI steelworks at Redcar in Cleveland.
The industry blames cheap Chinese imports and high energy costs for the collapse in steel prices.
In a letter to Mr Ewing, Mr Javid said his officials would brief Scottish government officials on the outcomes of the meetings, which were due to be held on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Javid was expected to raise concerns over unfair steel imports with EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom.
He was also to meet Industry and Internal Market Commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska and Commission Vice President Jyrki Katainen.
The UK Business, Innovation and Skills department spokesman said: "The Secretary of State is representing the whole of the United Kingdom in his meetings with EU representatives today, and will act in the best interests of all nations within it, including Scotland."
But Mr Ewing said it was "deeply disappointing" to be excluded from talks about the steel industry, and pointed out that the Scottish government has been able to attend many other meetings in Brussels.
He added: "The Scottish government asked to attend these key talks because we believe we could have made a very substantial contribution to the discussions representing the affected communities in Scotland."
The first meeting of the task force set up by the Scottish government in the wake of Tata's announcement is to be held in Hamilton on Thursday.
Mr Ewing said: "All of those taking part are aware of the challenges in finding a commercial buyer and protecting as many jobs as possible - but we will not give up on Scotland's steel industry and its workers."
Speaking ahead of the meetings in Brussels, Mr Javid said: "We cannot stand by while the steel industry across Europe, not just in the UK, faces such unprecedented challenges.
"The government wants to work with the EU and our European partners to do all we can to support our steel industry."
Emergency services were called at 15:30 on Saturday to a spot near Glenamour Farm.
A Honda 1300 motorbike had left the road and the seriously hurt rider was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment.
However, police said the man, from Lancaster, had died as a result of his injuries early on Monday morning.
Anyone who has information about the incident has been asked to contact police.
Timothy Loehmann told investigators he and his partner repeatedly shouted "show me your hands" before fatally shooting Tamir Rice in Cleveland.
His statement was released to a grand jury as it decides whether the two officers, both white, will be charged.
The issue of excessive force by police against African Americans has become a source of protests and national debate.
Rice was carrying a non-lethal pellet gun when Cleveland police approached him in November 2014, in response to a 911 call reporting a man waving and pointing a gun at people.
The caller said the gun may not be real and the perpetrator could be a juvenile. This information was not passed onto the officers.
Mr Loehmann said when he saw the weapon he believed it to be real.
"I knew it was a gun and I knew it was coming out," he wrote in his statement.
"I saw the weapon in his hands coming out of his waistband and the threat to my partner and myself was real and active."
He said he was concerned that Rice would run into a nearby recreation centre with a loaded weapon.
Rice was shot twice and died a day later due to his injuries.
Campaigners have been particularly critical of the speed at which the officers opened fire after arriving at the scene.
A grand jury will decide whether Mr Loehmann and his field training officer will receive criminal charges.
Three independent reports have said the shooting was justified but two reports commissioned by the Rice family have come to the opposite conclusion.
Sophisticated organisation lies behind the apparent chaos of migrants trying to board lorries and trains in France to cross the English Channel, a BBC investigation found.
Two Afghan researchers for BBC South East Today secretly filmed two men purporting to be people traffickers.
The men offered to help get them across the Channel to Kent.
As soon as migrants arrive at the Calais camp known as "The Jungle" they are approached by traffickers who say they will help them get on board trains or lorries.
Within 30 minutes of arriving, the Afghan researchers were welcomed, given water and told where to get food.
Trafficker Ahmed briefed them, telling them to carry a razor blade to slash their way into trucks heading to the UK.
"You need to climb on to the truck, cut the top and get inside," he said.
"My way is for lightweight people. The way is difficult. There are other traffickers - go and talk to them."
Ahmed invited the researchers into his private tent after nightfall to discuss money, saying his best price was £1,200.
For that the smugglers would ensure migrants would be placed into the back of a truck or a train. If they did not succeed in reaching the UK they would keep trying.
No cash changes hands; money must be wired to an agreed location.
"Where is most convenient for you: London or Kabul?" Ahmed asked.
The BBC did not pay any money to people traffickers during its investigation.
About 3,000 migrants have set up camp near the Port of Calais.
No-one knows how many succeed in getting into the UK but almost every day empty beds are left behind.
Amid the squalor are shops selling groceries and even sit-down restaurants.
A towering razor wire fence separates the jungle from the approach road to the ferry port and it is getting harder for migrants to get on to trucks but during wildcat strikes by ferry workers in Calais three weeks ago many attempted to do so.
Three migrants were injured after a "large number" broke into the French Channel Tunnel terminal overnight.
Last week a migrant died after jumping on a freight train heading for Britain days after 150 tried to storm the Calais Eurotunnel terminal.
Another trafficker, specialising in getting migrants on to trains, again for £1,200, claimed to offer the fastest route through the Channel Tunnel to Folkestone.
"It's a bit of a walk from here, but only 17 minutes on the train," he said.
When asked which way, he said: "Over the fences to the trains, after the security checks."
The researchers spent two nights in The Jungle, discovering the traffickers operating openly.
"They are fearless because they are not citizens or nationals of European countries," said one researcher.
"And they are in the worst place on earth so there is nothing to lose, really."
Home Secretary Theresa May has announced the creation of a "secure zone" at Calais for for 230 UK-bound lorries to prevent migrants boarding queuing trucks.
She said 8,000 illegal attempts to cross the Channel had been made in recent weeks.

The German giants have signed Manchester City and England Under-17 forward Jadon Sancho for a fee in the region of £10m.
The 17-year-old - who wanted to leave Manchester - had stopped training with the club to force a move. City did not give him permission to speak to any British clubs and a long-term deal was agreed with German side Dortmund.
Sancho has not played a first-team game for anyone, but was a regular in City's youth sides last season - scoring 20 goals in 35 games.
He scored five goals in six games - assisting another five - for England at the Under-17 European Championship this summer, as they lost the final to Spain on penalties.
Dortmund had not filled the number seven shirt left by Demeble, when he joined Barcelona for a fee of up to £135.5m in the second biggest deal of all time.
Sancho joined City from Watford in 2015, the then 14-year-old moving for a fee of about £500,000.
Another player to leave City is 22-year-old Belgium defender Jason Denayer, who has joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan.
The Tory MP said he was "thrilled" to succeed Sarah Sands, who is leaving to edit the BBC's Today programme.
Mr Osborne, who is to edit the paper four days a week, intends to stay on as MP for Tatton, in Cheshire.
But he is facing calls to quit politics altogether, with Jeremy Corbyn calling the appointment a "joke".
The Labour leader said he wanted an immediate by-election in Tatton, the seat Mr Osborne has represented since 2001 and is due to be abolished at the next election.
"The appointment makes a mockery of the independence of the media," Mr Corbyn said. "It takes multitasking to a new level and is an insult to the electors he is supposed to serve."
The Standard's proprietor, Evgeny Lebedev, said Mr Osborne was "London through and through" and he was confident that the MP was "the right person to build on the fantastic legacy of Sarah Sands".
"I am proud to have an editor of such substance, who reinforces The Standard's standing and influence in London and whose political viewpoint - socially liberal and economically pragmatic - closely matches that of many of our readers," tweeted Mr Lebedev.
The newspaper said Mr Osborne would work as editor an "average of four days a week" and its schedule would enable him to "continue to fulfil his other commitments, including as an MP; giving him the time to vote and contribute in Parliament in the afternoon after the paper has gone to print, and be in his constituency".
Mr Osborne, who earlier addressed Standard journalists in the paper's news room, said it was a "great honour" to be asked to take charge of one of the UK's most influential newspapers.
The 45-year old sought to play down concerns about his political neutrality, saying he would be "independent" and "fearless" in speaking up for Londoners' interests.
"Growing up as a Londoner, I've always known that the Evening Standard is an institution that plays a huge part in the life of the city and its people," he said.
Mr Osborne added: "I am proud to be a Conservative MP, but as editor and leader of a team of dedicated and independent journalists, our only interest will be to give a voice to all Londoners.
"We will judge what the government, London's politicians and the political parties do against this simple test: is it good for our readers and good for London? If it is, we'll support them; if it isn't we'll be quick to say so."
He told the newspaper's journalists "I've got to learn from you because I may have run the country but I haven't actually run a newspaper. I know there's a lot for me to learn."
Amol Rajan, the BBC's media editor who is a former editor of The Independent, said that as an afternoon paper, the Standard is sent to the printers at 11:00 GMT.
Mr Osborne will get into the office around 05:00 GMT, work until midday, and then balance his other duties thereafter, he added.
Most people who edit newspapers will have spent years crafting headlines, sub-editing copy, designing pages, planning stories, and above all reporting.
Osborne has never done any of that, and will need to grasp some basic skills very quickly if he is to keep Standard staff on-side.

Patti Goddard, president of the Tatton Conservative Association, said it fully supported the former chancellor on his "exciting" career move, insisting it would not affect his reputation as a "hard-working" constituency MP.
Mr Osborne has been congratulated by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said he would be covering the "world's greatest city".
But Labour's John Mann said Mr Osborne was already "invisible" in Parliament and accepting a new job "devalued" democracy while fellow Labour MP Paul Flynn criticised what he said was the "revolving door" between government and the private sector.
Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas said she would be seeking assurances in Parliament that the Conservatives would not exert "undue influence" over the newspaper and called for Mr Osborne to be removed from the Privy Council so he would not have access to any confidential government briefings.
Robert Barrington, director of campaign group Transparency International, said it was an "astonishing conflict of interest" that damaged democracy and "smacks of greed and the accumulation of power".
Former Tatton MP Martin Bell said his first reaction to the announcement was that it "sounds like fake news to me", suggesting on BBC Radio 5 Live that the politician would have to be "superman" to combine his various roles.
Former Labour leader Ed Miliband joked on Twitter that he would "shortly be announced as editor of Heat magazine" while Lib Dem leader Tim Farron suggested his next job would be as editor of the adult comic Viz.
Since leaving frontline politics, the former chancellor has become a visiting fellow at a US university and an adviser to US fund manager BlackRock, for which he is being paid £650,000 for four days work a month.
Mr Osborne, who was chancellor for six years, had ambitions to be a journalist as a young man.
He failed to get a place on The Times' trainee scheme after graduating from Oxford University - at which he edited its Isis magazine - and was briefly a freelance reporter on the Daily Telegraph's diary column.
Defending his new job, he told BBC News "there are plenty of examples of MPs who've edited newspapers and magazines over the years".
His Conservative colleague Boris Johnson edited The Spectator magazine while an MP but agreed to stand down as a condition of joining David Cameron's front bench team in 2005.
The now foreign secretary - who was endorsed by the Standard when he ran for London mayor in 2008 and was re-elected in 2012 - said Mr Osborne's appointment was "brilliant" and "good" for the city.
Most other examples of MP journalists, such as Labour's Michael Foot, who edited the Evening Standard, and Conservative Bill Deedes, who edited the Daily Telegraph, did not do both jobs at the same time.
The National Union of Journalists said the appointment was a "blatantly cynical" political move at a time when staff were facing pay cuts and reduced hours. But it said it looked forward to receiving Mr Osborne's application to become a member of the union.
The 29-year-old has managed to juggle preparing for the "biggest day of my life" while spending much of the last year recording.
"I have been writing a lot, even on race weeks," he told us.
He also talked about having "dark days" and "relationship issues".
But let's look at his music first - is he influenced by his singer girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger? Maybe.
Has he been inspired by some of his favourite artists? Almost definitely.
From the "great greats" like Michael Jackson and Prince, to Kodaline and Jay-Z. The list is long.
However, ultimately his desire to make music stems from something far more basic. He just loves it.
Listen to the full interview with Lewis Hamilton on Soundcloud
"It's something I'm very passionate about," he said. "It keeps me chilled and doing things you love is a good thing.
"When I was in Japan, I was in the studio, Monday to Wednesday. Then, Thursday to Sunday, I was racing. Then I was straight back in the studio."
While Lewis seems to be putting some plans in place for life after racing, Nico Rosberg will be disappointed to know he won't be quitting the track any time soon.
"At the moment music is just a hobby, but I'm very serious about it."
And if music doesn't work out, you won't catch Lewis behind the commentary mic, even though it may seem like the obvious step to take.
"I don't want to stop and go into commentating or anything like that," he said. "I have been racing since I was eight-years-old, I know just as much as anyone else about it, but I want to do something different.
"Like David Beckham, he has stopped and got a great career. A lot of the greats have gone on to do something else and created longevity for themselves, that's what I aspire to do."
Lewis is also concerned about the crisis which has currently engulfed Formula 1.
One team has gone out of business, another is facing collapse, which means more than 400 workers have been made redundant.
"It's shrunk the grid a lot," he said. "It's sad because I know when I'm in my race team factory the guys are working day and night, they live and breathe for racing. It's the same in factories around the world. It's their life.
"To have to stop, and not see the car you have helped put together be out there... My heart goes out to them.
"I'm sure something will work out because we need those teams, they help make the sport. To those guys who are not in a job right now or are having dark days, don't give up. Things will change."
Lewis insists that despite the multi-millionaire lifestyle, he is just like everyone else.
"People watch sportsmen, and think, 'they make a lot of money, they live the life,' but we are still human," he said.
"Speaking for myself, I still have dark days. I still have ups and downs. I still have relationship issues. To go through all those stages and then come out as champion, I feel extremely proud."

Diego Dzodan, an Argentine national, has repeatedly refused to comply with court orders to hand over data for use in a criminal investigation into drugs trafficking, police said.
His arrest relates to the messaging service WhatsApp, owned by Facebook.
In a statement, Facebook called Mr Dzodan's arrest an "extreme and disproportionate measure".
Mr Dzodan's arrest was ordered by a judge in the north-eastern state of Sergipe.
He was held as he left his house in an exclusive area of Sao Paulo on Tuesday morning.
Judge Marcel Maia Montalvao had in two previous instances issued fines against Facebook for refusing to release WhatsApp data.
The information was needed as part "secrete judicial investigations involving organised crime and drug trafficking," he said.
In a statement, Facebook said it was "disappointed with the extreme and disproportionate measure".
"Facebook has always been and will be available to address any questions Brazilian authorities may have," the company said.
In December a judge in Brazil suspended WhatsApp for 48 hours.
The Sao Paulo state judge said at the time that the company failed to comply with court orders to share information in a criminal case.
The centre-back rose highest to head in off the post from Luke Freeman's pin-point corner to open the scoring.
It was 2-0 when, in similar fashion, Flint nodded in Freeman's delivery for his fourth league goal of the season.
Ex-Robin Brett Pitman scored for Ipswich with a low finish, but City held on for back-to-back wins and moved five points clear of the drop zone.
Johnson played for the Robins from 2006 to 2012 and will be delighted with his start after joining from League One side Barnsley on 6 February.
The first half could have yielded more goals for the hosts as Ipswich goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski made an excellent one-handed reaction save from Korey Smith's deflected shot.
Ipswich also had chances, with home goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell saving well from Daryl Murphy's six-yard header midway through the second half.
The hosts nearly extended their lead but Bialkowski made a low finger-tip save from substitute Kieran Agard to keep it 2-1, before Tommy Smith's late drive flew wide.
Bristol City manager Lee Johnson:
"There is still work to do, but it was a good start. A lot of what I saw really pleased me.
"We have some big lads to attack set-pieces and Luke Freeman's quality of delivery makes it easier for them.
"Aden Flint was brave with his headers. At half-time he told me he wanted to take a penalty if we got one - but I wouldn't have let him!
"The atmosphere created by the fans was tremendous and I really appreciated that. Now we have to maintain focus in and out of possession. If we do that we have the quality to hurt opponents."
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy:
"We didn't defend the set-pieces well enough, but credit where it is due because the delivery and movement at the two corners was an example to any young players.
"Having gone behind, it was needs must and we switched back to 4-4-2, which I felt made us more effective.
"Brett Pitman wants more starts and he made us better when he came on. He doesn't like the tag of super-sub, but it was a great finish.
"We have been hit hard by injuries in midfield, which is not an excuse. I expect us to be challenging at the top of the table and can understand the fans' frustration."

The economists, mostly academics, wrote in Le Monde newspaper that Francois Villeroy de Galhau's background posed a conflict of interest.

Hassanal Bolkiah, one of the world's longest-reigning monarchs, became sultan in October 1967 after his father, Sir Haji Omar Ali Saifuddin, abdicated. He was crowned in August 1968.
In 1991 he introduced a conservative ideology called Malay Muslim Monarchy, which presented the monarchy as the defender of the faith.
Apparently aimed at pre-empting calls for democratisation, it is said to have alienated Brunei's large Chinese and expatriate communities.
In September 2004 the sultan reopened Brunei's parliament, 20 years after it was suspended. Observers said it was a tentative step towards giving some political power to the country's citizens.
The sultan was born in 1946 and was educated in Malaysia and Britain. He has two wives and is one of the world's richest individuals. | The surviving half of a couple of "celebrity" swans has been attacked by dogs, only a week after his mate was savaged and put down.

With two matches against bottom side Oyannax still to come, Les Kiss' side retain realistic hope of making the last eight by finishing at least second in their pool.
Having triumphed 38-0 in Belfast a week ago, Ulster began the game at the Ernest-Wallon Stadium in confident fashion and Paddy Jackson landed a third-minute penalty to give his team an early lead.
Ulster continued to enjoy territorial dominance but Pienaar and Jackson were off-target with long-range penalty attempts.
Just after the half-hour mark, Pienaar picked up and dived over the ruck to score the opening try under the posts, following a rolling maul that set up the score.
Jackson converted but three minutes later was sent to the bin when his deliberate knock-on denied the hosts a likely try-scoring opportunity.
Just before the break, replacement Rory Scholes touched down for Ulster but his 'try' was chalked off for an earlier forward pass.
Sebastien Bezy's penalty after the interval reduced the deficit, but Trimble's 45th-minute try, his 24th in the competition, put his side in control again.
Centre Stuart McCloskey broke through the Toulouse defence and Pienaar and Franco van der Merwe played their part in a slick passing manoeuvre, before Trimble stretched to touch down in the corner.
Fickou's try completed a flowing Toulouse move in the 51st minute, Bezy's conversion reduced the home side's deficit to two points and the scrum-half then kicked a penalty to nudge Toulouse in front.
Jackson replied with his second penalty and then helped set up Marshall, who collected an inside pass from Alan O'Connor, before crossing for the ultimately decisive try.
The fly half converted to put nine points between the sides but the four-time champions responded with a late try by French international Picamoles to reduce the winning margin to two points and clinch a bonus point.
Picamoles, the back-row replacement, rumbled over for a try following a maul as Ulster's hitherto reliable defences were breached, with Jean-Marc Doussain adding the additional points.
For Ulster, this was only their third-ever success on French soil while Toulouse have suffered their worst start to a European campaign since 2003.
The Irish province now face important Pro12 assignments against Connacht and Munster, while Toulouse take on fellow Top 14 title challengers Toulon and Stade Francais in their next domestic encounters.

The phrase is revealing in a way the prime minister probably did not intend: it underlines how far the role of religion has been eroded in British life.
For most of our history, most people in this country would have taken it for granted that God's laws should trump those made by man - indeed they would have assumed that "religious doctrine" provided the proper basis for "the rule of law".
Take Magna Carta, which we have heard so much about recently.
In the Preamble, King John states that he is accepting limits to his power "having regard to God and for the salvation of our soul, and those of all our ancestors and heirs, and unto the honour of God and the advancement of his holy Church" and he acknowledges that he is acting on the advice of "our venerable fathers" the bishops.
So this cornerstone of law and liberty was explicitly laid on religious foundations.
The idea of an inherent conflict between law and religion is a very modern one.
But then Mr Cameron leads a country where religious faith, in particular as expressed through the established Church, is in precipitous decline.
The Spectator recently published a cover story about what it called "the death rattle" of Christianity in Britain, in which the Catholic journalist Damian Thompson speculated that "Anglicanism will disappear from Britain in 2033".
He cites British Social Attitudes surveys, which suggest that the number of Anglicans here "fell from 40% of the population in 1983 to 29% in 2004 to 17% last year".
The decline among Roman Catholics is less marked - from 10% of the population to 8% over the same period - but Mr Thompson puts that down to immigration.
It used to be thought that the United States was immune to this kind of secularisation, but a survey published by the Washington-based Pew Foundation last month calls that into question.
It found that the percentage of Americans who described themselves as Christian had dropped from 78.4% to 70.6% between 2007 and 2014.
And while those figures of course show that America is still an overwhelmingly Christian country, the Pew Religious Landscape Survey also suggests that the decline is a trend. It concludes that "the drop in religious affiliation is particularly pronounced among young adults".
Americas: 804 million
Europe: 566 million
Sub-Saharan Africa: 516 million
Asia-Pacific: 285 million
Middle East-North Africa: 13 million
Source: Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life, estimates for 2010
Contrast that to what is happening in, for example, China, where a Pew study put the number of Christians at 67 million in 2010 - a huge increase from the one million or so when Communist rule was established in 1949.
Tracking Christianity's growth in China is difficult (not least because many Christians are still reluctant to admit their affiliation), but it is widely thought that the number of Chinese Christians now exceeds the number of Communist Party members.
Some projections suggest that China will have the largest Christian population in the world (some 250 million) by about 2030 - so at about the moment when the Church of England will, if the Spectator is right, expire altogether.
What's behind the growth in Christianity in China is open to interpretation. The power of the Gospel? Filling a vacuum left by the collapse of faith in communism? Wicked manipulation by the running-dogs of capitalism? Your explanation will depend on who you are.
But this is all the more remarkable because since the 19th Century, Christianity has been closely associated in Chinese culture with unwelcome meddling by foreign powers, and it suggests - at a minimum - that societies do not automatically become more secular as they become richer.
Elsewhere in Asia, religion is booming too, and not always in a benign manner.
In India, something as apparently non-controversial as last week's International Yoga Day became a source of religious tension, with some Muslims accusing the government of pursuing a divisive pro-Hindu agenda. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka and Burma have seen the rise of intolerant and nationalist Buddhism, a bewildering development for many in the West.
And the overwhelming - and often malign - power of religion in the Middle East is of course all too apparent.
In the week of David Cameron's Slovakia speech, the former Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks, published a book which makes an explicit link between the extremism that concerns the prime minister and the growing gulf between a secular West and a religious world.
In the West, Lord Sacks argues, "the old marriage of religion and culture has ended in divorce". Our societies offer no clear values that appeal to young people looking for meaning, so religiously minded youths turn to the world beyond our borders where religion remains such a compelling force.
And very often radical Islam offers, as Lord Sacks told us on BBC Radio 4's Sunday programme, "the sharpest, clearest voices they are hearing". He has coined the term "altruistic evil" to describe the phenomenon of profoundly evil acts committed for idealistic motives.
It is persuasive analysis. Of course the West has powerful values to offer, but they are largely "post-religious"; tolerance and democracy involve respecting the opinions and feelings of others, a more complex and less obviously dynamic process than the kind of message projected by those Mr Cameron called the "firebrand preachers online".
And this is why it matters. If you live within a secular society, it is easy to assume that religions will simply wither away, but Lord Sacks offers the opposite view.
"The world will be more religious a generation from now, not less," he says. "The more religious people are, the more children they have. The more secular they are, the fewer children they have... the religious will inherit the Earth."

In a joint letter to the Observer, they urge ministers to reconsider the plans.
The LGA says the plan to remove all schools from council control has caused "enormous concern" .
But, on Saturday, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan insisted there was "no reverse gear" on the changes.
Speaking at the NASUWT teacher union conference in Birmingham, Ms Morgan said she would not row back on the government's reform agenda, saying the plans would put control over schools into the hands of heads and teachers.
But this did not deter the National Union of Teachers, gathering for its annual conference in Brighton, voting for a ballot for a one-day strike next term over the government's plans.
The Observer letter, signed by Conservative councillors as well as those from opposition parties, says: "There is no evidence that academies perform better than council maintained schools.
"Where a school is failing, there is no question that action must be taken - but converting every school, regardless of performance, to an academy will not tackle those issues."
It goes on: "Schools value the option to become academies - and the support they receive from their local councils to do so - where they believe this is in the best interests of their students and communities.
"Forcing the change upon every school goes against, in many cases, what parents and teachers want, and there will be a large financial implication for local authorities at a time when communities are already suffering the impact of significant budget cuts."
The councillors continue: "We urge the government to listen to the concerns of families, teachers, unions, politicians and experts and rethink the proposals in the White Paper."
The letter is signed by Cllr David Hodge, Leader of the Conservative Group, Cllr Nick Forbes, Leader of the Labour Group, Cllr Marianne Overton, Leader of the Independent Group and Cllr Gerald Vernon-Jackson, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group.
Dennis Vogelaar denies being part of a £1.6bn plot to smuggle "top quality" drugs into the UK.
Co-defendant Leonardus Bijlsma said: "I can't read" when asked about a diary of names and addresses found in a car, Birmingham Crown Court heard.
Both deny conspiracy to supply drugs.
Prosecutors allege the "lucrative criminal conspiracy", fronted by a bogus ambulance company in Holland, may have seen up to £420m of drugs reach the UK, with a street value four times higher.
When National Crime Agency (NCA) officers swooped on a meeting near a scrap yard in Smethwick in June, they found an ambulance with six hiding places, according to Robert Davies, prosecuting.
Inside were neatly-stacked packets of drugs including 193kg of cocaine with a street value of more than £30m, and 74kg of heroin worth £8m in individual deals.
Officers also found 19,920 ecstasy tablets and 2kg of MDMA (ecstasy) crystal powder.
Bijlsma and Vogelaar, both of Amsterdam, were arrested along with two other men - Olof Schoon, aged 38, and 51-year-old Richard Engelsbel.
The jury has already been told that Schoon and Engelsbel have admitted conspiracy to supply drugs.
In interview, 56-year-old Bijlsma told officers he had left school aged 14 and had only been in the UK to look at an old BMW to scrap.
CCTV was played in court showing how, on one occasion in May, the same ambulance seized by the NCA in Smethwick was driven to the Moorside Industrial Estate in Colchester.
The footage also showed Bijlsma and Schoon arriving separately in a Mercedes car just minutes before, then meeting the ambulance crew at a lock-up.
The Crown has alleged that the industrial unit was just one of several locations where the drugs were unloaded for distribution.
Mr Davies described the firm and its operations as nothing more than "a veneer" for the smuggling operation which sometimes even boasted fake patients.
The trial, set to resume on Tuesday, continues.
The MLA for North Antrim stood down amid allegations he helped coach loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson, who gave evidence to a Stormont inquiry about the controversial Nama property deal. Mr McKay was chairing the committee at the time.
Mr Bryson, whose evidence included claims that the then First Minister Peter Robinson was set to profit from the deal, told the BBC the coaching allegations were "absolute nonsense".
"Having reflected on the allegations against me which have arisen in the last 24 hours and consulted with associates, friends and family, I acknowledge and accept that my contact with a witness to the Finance and Personnel Committee's Nama inquiry in advance of his testimony was inappropriate, ill-advised and wrong. I apologise wholeheartedly for this.
"Whilst I don't offer this in any way as a justification for my action, I want to be absolutely clear that my intention was not, as alleged, to coach the witness in question with regard to the substance of his testimony, but rather ensure that the inquiry had full access to the truth with regard to all the issues relating to the Nama scandal.
"This scandal was and remains an unresolved matter of wholesale fraud and corruption at the highest level affecting parties across the board. I hope that my own error of judgement on a matter of process will not provide cover or obscure the real and unresolved questions of substance which remain."
"I have worked with Daithí in the Assembly over the past nine years and he's a very competent person. He was chair of the finance committee, and people saw him on the floor of the house and how he conducted his business. He was a very good MLA and a very good Sinn Fein activist.
"He has accepted that he made an error of judgement, and he acted accordingly and with the type of integrity you would expect from someone of Daithí's calibre.
"He accepts he acted on his own volition and then took appropriate steps."
"For some time, the Democratic Unionist Party has had concerns about the nature of the inquiry, how it was conducted and the way witnesses from the party, including the then First Minister were treated.
"It is clear from what is already in the public domain that what occurred is an abuse of the process and the privilege of the committee and it was used to besmirch the good name of the then First Minister and Party Leader Rt Hon Peter Robinson MLA.
"We are now seeing what many of us believed, that this was a political dirty tricks operation against Peter Robinson. The fact that this information is now in the public light it again demonstrates, as we already knew, that Peter Robinson was innocent of the scurrilous accusations made against him."
"I am shocked by these revelations, which fundamentally undermine trust between parties in the Assembly, and with our constituents.
"The role of committee chair should be carried out with integrity and I am disappointed that this does not appear to be the case in this instance.
"The Standards and Privileges Committee needs to act on this immediately. Given the breach of public office, if this needs to be referred to the PSNI then there should be no obstacles put in the way.
"From the reports, it looks like Sinn Féin effectively took out the then leader of the DUP and First Minister of Northern Ireland. It is political dynamite and indicates that Sinn Féin have run rings around the DUP.
"Where does this start and where does it end? It demands an investigation because if the information is genuine, it begs the question - was Daithí McKay on a solo run or was it a Sinn Féin operation sanctioned from the top? Certainly the long-standing culture within Sinn Féin is one of centralised control and not of solo runs.
"Finally, this situation also raises important questions about the operation of some committees. Is this the only committee on which this happened? We simply don't know. "
"The investigation into alleged malpractice and corruption, involving the single biggest property deal in Irish history, is of critical importance to the confidence and accountability of our political institutions and to the North's business community.
"Interference in that investigation only serves the purposes of those who are alleged to have corruptly benefitted from it.
"Sinn Féin don't do lone wolves, they do scapegoats. Today's statement of absolute denial by Martin McGuinness will therefore be naturally met with extreme scepticism."
"We need a proper full independent inquiry into the behaviour of Daithi McKay and potentially others.
"We have to continue to see if the behaviour of the two largest parties is in the interests of all the people of Northern Ireland or if it's in the interests of their two parties.
"Clearly there are some very significant issues around Nama which have not been fully teased out. If there's a real issue today, it's around the further loss of public confidence in the behaviour of some MLAs at Stormont and that's damaging to the political process and to all of us."
Gail O'Rorke, has denied assisting the suicide of 51-year-old Bernadette Forde between 10 March and 6 June 2011.
Ms O'Rorke, 43, from Kilclare Gardens in Tallaght, faces three charges.
They include attempting to assist in a suicide by making arrangements for Ms Forde to travel to Switzerland.
She is also charged with aiding and abetting a suicide by helping to secure and administer a toxic substance.
A third charge concerns procuring a suicide by making funeral arrangements before Ms Forde's death.
She has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Ms Forde died at her home in Dublin on 6 June 2011 after being denied travel to a clinic in Switzerland.
She was diagnosed in 2001 with progressive multiple sclerosis and her condition was compounded by a car accident in 2008 that left her wheelchair-bound.
Ireland decriminalised suicide in 1993 but the jury was told assisting a suicide remains an offence.
A prosecutor said Ms Forde was facing the bleak prospect of losing mobility and bodily function and the prospect of a distressing and difficult death.
He said the jury would be in no doubt that Ms Forde had made the decision to end her life and had told her family about this.
Ms O'Rorke was a part-time carer and friend to Ms Forde.
The prosecution told the court that Ms Forde had planned to travel to Zurich to end her own life and the travel arrangements had been made with the help of Ms O'Rorke.
However, the plan was abandoned when the police were notified by a travel agent.
The court heard that after the intervention of the police, Ms O'Rorke could not have been in any doubt about the law relating to assisting a suicide.
The prosecution's case is that she later assisted Ms Forde to obtain medication to end her life, the court was told.
The medication was ordered from Mexico on the internet and Ms O'Rorke made the payment and was present when the package was delivered, the prosecution said.
A recording of Ms Forde's last words was played to the jury.
In it, Ms Forde outlined how she could not continue to suffer due to her medical condition.
The court heard her say her plan to die was "me, totally me, and nobody else".
Ms Forde repeatedly expressed her frustration with the law in what she described as "this bloody country".
The case is expected to last for two weeks.
HMS Queen Elizabeth entered Portsmouth Harbour for the first time at about 07:10 BST following extensive preparations at the naval base.
The 65,000-tonne ship has been undergoing sea trials since setting sail from Rosyth dockyard in Fife, where it was built, in June.
The 900ft (280m) long carrier cannot currently deploy planes but flying trials are due to begin next year.
Addressing crew members and contractors on the flight deck, Prime Minister Theresa May said the carrier was a "true testament to British ship building and design".
"Britain truly has the best sailors, marines and officers in the world. And I believe you deserve the very best equipment and that it what we have with HMS Queen Elizabeth," she said.
"This ship is the symbol of the United Kingdom as a great global maritime nation. Clearly she is a stunning piece of 21st Century engineering."
Live: New aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth arrives in home port
Spectators who gathered on the shoreline to watch the ship's arrival saw flypasts of Royal Navy helicopters, the first featuring a Sea King, two MK2 Merlins and two MK3 Merlins which were then joined by two Hawk jets.
A flotilla of craft followed the behemoth aircraft carrier as she sailed into the Solent before heading into Portsmouth, where, at its narrowest point, there was less than 66ft (20m) clearance on each side.
An 820ft (250m) exclusion zone was enforced by armed police in small boats and a no-fly zone was put in place to prevent the flying of drones around the harbour.
The ship's available company stood at the edge of the vessel, with officers and family members also lining the jetty to welcome the ship.
Louise Bond, 30, from Fareham, whose husband, Petty Officer Greg Bond, 33, is serving on board, said: "It's my first homecoming, it's brilliant, I was up at 2.30am, first in line.
"It's amazing, I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Road closures were put in place in Old Portsmouth, Southsea seafront and parts of the city centre.
Isle of Wight, Gosport and cross-channel ferry services also altered timetables.
Preparations for the arrival of the future flagship of the fleet, and its 700 crew, 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 had 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.

Speaking on board before the journey in to Portsmouth, Capt Jerry Kyd said he felt a "huge amount of pride" ahead of the vessel berthing in its home port.
"It sends the right signals to our allies and indeed potentially to our enemies that we mean business.
"The armed forces are fundamentally an insurance policy for the country and you can't just, at the flick of a switch, decide that you need these capabilities."
The ship has been undergoing sea trials off the Scottish coast and sailed with the USS George HW Bush and her carrier strike group, during Exercise Saxon Warrior earlier this month.
F-35B Lightning fighter jets are due to make their first trial flights from the carrier's deck next year with 120 aircrew currently training in the US.
HMS Queen Elizabeth is still far from being a fully functioning aircraft carrier. But she now looks and feels less of a giant construction project and more like a warship. For the last seven weeks she's been undergoing sea trials.
They've tested everything from the propulsion system to the sewage processing plant. The ship's five galleys have been churning out more than 3,000 meals a day for the 700 crew and additional contractors on board.
According to the captain, Jerry Kyd, the tests have gone "really well" for what he admits is a "prototype". But even he suggests that they'll need more manpower when she's fully operational. The slightly larger US Nimitz class carriers have a crew of more than 4,000.
HMS Queen Elizabeth's first deployment is still a long way off. Though helicopters have been landing on her massive deck - the size of three football pitches - it will be another year before the new F35s will begin flight trials. And HMS Queen Elizabeth won't be fully operational until 2023.
L/Cpl Michael Campbell, 32, from Colwyn Bay was shot in 2012 while on patrol with 3rd Battalion, The Royal Welsh.
The Army reservist died at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital last month.
The MoD described him as a "true Welsh Warrior". His funeral will take place with full military honours at St Paul's Church in Colwyn Bay.
Sid Ahmed Ghlam, a 24-year-old Algerian national, was detained on Sunday in Paris after he apparently shot himself by accident and called an ambulance.
He is also being questioned over the murder of a woman on Sunday.
France has stepped up security in the wake of recent attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices and a Jewish supermarket.
Ghlam was known to security services as having expressed a wish to travel to Syria to fight with Islamist militants, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.
When police arrived at the scene on Sunday, they followed a trail of blood to the suspect's car, where they found weapons and notes on potential targets.
The documents established "beyond doubt" that Ghlam planned on attacking churches, said Mr Cazeneuve.
"Several war weapons, hand guns, ammunition [and] bullet-proof vests," were found in his car and home, the minister added.
Documents linked to al-Qaeda and Islamic State were also found at his apartment, the Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said. A contact in Syria had advised Ghlam to target churches, he added.
The authorities have carried out security checks on the suspect twice in recent years but did not uncover anything to justify further investigation.
It is not known yet what link the man has to the murdered woman, Aurelie Chatelain, who was found dead in her car in Villejuif, a Paris suburb, on Sunday.
Passers-by discovered her body as smoke poured out of the car from an overheating laptop.
The 32-year-old was visiting the Paris area to attend a training course.
"Our thoughts and sorrow are with her relatives, her family, and her daughter now deprived of her presence." said Mr Cazeneuve.
Hundreds of French citizens have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside militants, with many at home with links to recruitment cells.
"Terrorists are targeting France to divide us," French Prime Minister Manuel Valls warned on Wednesday.
Tomas Koubek, speaking after Sunday's 3-3 draw with Brno, added: "Women should not officiate men's football."
Injured midfielder Lukas Vacha, meanwhile, described the official, Lucie Ratajova, as "the cooker".
Koubek later posted a picture of his wife and daughter on Facebook and said he wanted to "apologise to all women".
Vacha said his "comment was directed to a specific error which affected the outcome of the game, not for any other women".
Brno midfielder Alois Hycka was several metres offside before scoring the final goal of Sunday's match in injury time.
The Czech Football Association's disciplinary committee is due to deal with Koubek's remarks on Thursday.
Lancaster University sent out an alert on Twitter just after 21:00 BST.
It said the group had fallen ill after taking the drug Spice and urged people to check on their friends and call 999 if necessary.
Ambulances were called to student halls between 18:00 and 19:00, according to Lancaster University's student paper.
Vicky Tyrrell, a spokeswoman for the university, told the Guardian that police had called university authorities to tell them that the students had been taken to the Royal Lancaster Hospital.
"We've got five students who have been taken to hospital with a suspicion that they had taken the drug," she said.
"Of the five, we know that two of them are seriously ill."
It is understood the five students all knew each other.
Spice is a plant-based mix which is coated with synthetic chemicals that work on the same part of the brain as the active ingredient in cannabis.
It was among a number of legal highs outlawed in 2009 amid growing concerns they posed a threat to users' health.
According to drug advice service Frank, side effects of synthetic cannabinoids can include an elevated heart rate, sickness, and hallucinations.

"When David [Moyes] first came to see me, he sat down 11 years ago and we were in a bad state, and he said 'we're not going down'," said Kenwright.
"Roberto's first words were 'I'll get you in the Champions League'."
The Spaniard replaces David Moyes, who is taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson at Premier League champions Manchester United.
During the Scot's stay with the Toffees he was unable to lead them to the group stage of Europe's top club competition.
The closest he came was in 2005 when, after they finished fourth in the Premier League, Everton were beaten 4-2 on aggregate by Spanish side Villarreal in the qualifying round.
After Kenwright revealed what Martinez had told him about his ambitions for the club, the Spaniard said Everton needed "to keep building" on his predecessor's success.
"The chairman has not put any pressure on me," he said. "It is simple to take this job, really.
"The fans need to know they are the most important part of this club, and I will need them. What David Moyes has done is set a real high standard.
"We need to make sure we are a winning side and a strong side, who can carry on achieving more.
"Finishing in the top six was a magnificent achievement, and we need to keep building if we want to improve on that."
Martinez joined Wigan from Swansea in 2009, returning to the side he had played for during a six-year spell.
"Fans assembled outside the stadium warmly welcomed David Moyes's replacement on his arrival, saying they hoped he will employ a more attacking style of football.
"And as Martinez walked into Goodison Park for the first time as manager the club motto, inscribed above the front entrance, read 'nil satis nisi optimum'. Translation? 'Nothing but the best is good enough.'
"Martinez is now fully aware of the ambitions of his new employers."
He won the FA Cup this season when Wigan defeated Manchester City, but asked to leave after failing to keep them in the Premier League.
When asked why he had chosen to leave Wigan now, having been targeted by Aston Villa and Liverpool in previous summers, he added: "It is simple: it came in a natural way.
"It has been a phenomenal time at Wigan but after four seasons this was the right time and I knew Everton was the right club.
"It has been a natural transition to be involved in such an exciting club."
Martinez revealed he had been promised "a few quid to sign a few players" by Kenwright.
The Blues chairman also promised to try to resist offers for current members of his squad.
Martinez went on to name England centre-back Phil Jagielka as his new captain.
The 30-year-old defender replaces Phil Neville, whose eight-year stay on Merseyside ends at the end of this month.
The claim: We get £1,200 back for every £120 we put into the EU.
Reality Check verdict: The CBI figure that this is based on has been widely criticised as being based on research finding unusually large amounts of benefits.
Is it true?
Well, the £1,200 is about what you get if you divide the CBI's figure of £3,000 per household per year by 2.4, which is the size of the average household.
There has been a fair amount of criticism of the CBI figure. It was based on five research papers, which were among those that found the greatest benefits to EU membership.
A report from the House of Commons Library warned that such calculations were based on making hefty assumptions and as such the conclusions "can appear influenced by the prior convictions of those conducting the analysis".
As for the £120 cost, that also comes from the CBI report. It's taken the figure for the UK's net contribution (that's subtracting the rebate and the value of direct payments made back to the UK to support things like agriculture and rural development) and divided that by the population.
But it is based on the figures for 2011. If you do the same calculation with 2014 figures you get to £154.
UPDATE: The CBI has returned to its research since the 2013 publication I linked to above. It still concludes the figure is £3,000.

Crews began working overnight on the removal of the two carriages from the track near Croydon.
They were loaded on to the back of lorries and covered with blue tarpaulin before driven away on Saturday morning.
An investigation into what caused the tram to leave the track as it negotiated a sharp bend continues.
On Friday, an extra minute's silence was added to the Armistice Day ceremony at Croydon Cenotaph to remember the victims.
A crowdfunding website set up by Croydon Council in the wake of the derailment has so far raised nearly £7,000 to help the families of the victims.
Four of the dead have so far been identified as: Phil Seary, Mark Smith, Dorota Rynkiewicz and Dane Chinnery.
British Transport Police (BTP) are investigating claims made in a Facebook post last week that a tram had "lifted on to one side at 40mph" at the same spot days earlier.
The family of Phil Seary, 57, said he was a "much loved wonderful son, faithful husband and a loving and doting father".
Mr Seary's daughter, Karina Mimms, said he was "a gentle giant... He had an absolute heart of gold and would do anything for anybody".
Mr Seary, from New Addington, was a keen Crystal Palace fan.
Mark Smith, who lived in Croydon, was described by his brother-in-law as "a wonderful husband, an amazing brother, amazing son to his parents".
"He will always stay in our hearts and our minds and we will never forget him," Osvaldas Novikovas said.
Dorota Rynkiewicz, 35, from New Addington, was the only woman to die in the crash.
Simon Smith, CEO of SSP UK where she worked, said the company "offered our heartfelt condolences to her family and we are doing all we can to support them at this difficult time."
Nineteen-year-old Dane Chinnery, who was also a Crystal Palace fan from New Addington, was described as "a beautiful lad".
Barbara Dumbleton, a family friend, said the teenager "always had a smile on his face... he was absolutely lovely."
His close friend, Aaron Gilbert, said "nothing will ever be the same without him... [It's] so devastating how something like this can cause so much damage".
Tom Dale, who was on the tram when it crashed, said he saw Mr Chinnery as he boarded.
"It was like walking out of a war zone," the 20-year-old chef said.
Croydon Council has set up a crowdfunding page to raise funds to "help the victims, families and communities".
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) is now calling for passengers to come forward if they think they have information relevant to its inquiry.
Croydon University Hospital said all remaining 38 people it had been treating had been discharged.
St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London, said three patients remained in a serious condition following surgery.
Croydon Council said some had suffered "life-changing" injuries.
BTP said it was still "working with the coroner" to identify all those who died.
In a statement it said: "We have specially trained officers supporting their families and loved ones, helping them through what could be a lengthy inquest process.
"I want to pay tribute to the community of Croydon who have shown incredible strength and resilience during this difficult time, as well as every single member of the emergency services and other agencies who have helped throughout."
An investigator for BTP said "a number of factors", including whether the driver had fallen asleep or blacked out, were being examined as possible causes for the crash.
The left-hand curve where the derailment happened is approached by a tunnel where trams are allowed to reach 50mph, while the bend has a speed limit of 12mph.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) has said the tram, which had been travelling from New Addington to Wimbledon, had been travelling at a "significantly higher speed than is permitted" when it derailed.
Investigators have appealed for anybody who was on the tram to contact them and said they planned to release an interim report next week.
The 42-year-old driver, from Beckenham, has been released on police bail following his arrest on suspicion of manslaughter.
First Group, which operates the Croydon tram on behalf of TfL, said it was "shocked and saddened by what happened".
Its chief executive officer, Tim O'Toole, said the company had "comprehensive safety processes and controls in place" but it "could take some time" to find out why the tram derailed.
A petition has been set up online to create a permanent memorial garden of remembrance at Sandilands station to pay tribute to those who died.

The Black Hawk crashed in Marib Province, east of the capital Sanaa.
The Yemen defence ministry's news website said the helicopter had "misread" the air defence system, which "resulted in the destruction of the aircraft before it landed".
But Saudi Arabia says it is too early to tell what caused the crash and it is still investigating.
The Saudi-led coalition has been fighting in support of the government against Houthi rebels for two years.
The crash victims included several officers, reports said.
It is one of the deadliest incidents involving forces from the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. In 2015, a rebel missile strike on a coalition base in Marib killed 67 coalition soldiers, most of them from the UAE.
Last month, the Houthis claimed that they shot down a Saudi Apache helicopter over the Red Sea port of Hudaydah, which they control.
More than 7,600 people have been killed and 42,000 injured since the conflict began, the majority in air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition backing President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, who was ousted from Sanaa in February 2015.
The conflict and a blockade imposed by the coalition have also triggered a humanitarian disaster, leaving 70% of the population in need of aid.
The governor of Unity state says several people were killed in its capital Bentiu when a plane dropped bombs on a market.
South Sudan also says its troops came under air attack in the oil-producing Heglig region which they have seized.
Sudan's ambassador to the UK, Abdullahi Al Azreg, said Sudan did not target civilians.
He insisted Khartoum had bombed military camps used by northern rebels supported by South Sudan.
"These people are occupying our land. Everybody is witnessing what they are doing. They have killed the civilians, they are doing very bad things. We will target the rebels as long as they are occupying our land," he told the BBC.
South Sudan said earlier on Saturday that it had repulsed an offensive on its positions near Heglig.
By James CopnallBBC News, Khartoum
The events of the last week are a reversal of the expected order of things. Sudan has struggled militarily, despite its greater resources.
Its troops lost the Heglig oilfield - one of its biggest sources of revenue - and so far have not been able to take it back. The Sudanese forces' one great advantage - air power - has not tipped the balance in their favour.
Sudanese political experts say the army's morale is low, and it is overstretched, as it has to fight South Sudan as well as several rebel movements who are co-ordinating together.
But - perhaps to its surprise - Sudan is winning the diplomatic war. The African Union said South Sudan's occupation of Heglig was "illegal and unacceptable".
Perhaps in reaction to these kind of statements, South Sudan then said it would withdraw its troops if UN peacekeepers were deployed to Heglig. This seems unlikely, and South Sudan simply hasn't been able to convince the world it's in the right.
So for the moment South Sudan is in the unusual position of winning the fighting - and losing the war of perceptions.
Vice-President Riek Machar said the ground fighting took place on Friday 30km (18 miles) north of Heglig.
South Sudan seized the oil field on Tuesday, sparking international condemnation and fears of a wider war with its northern neighbour.
South Sudan entered the oil field in response to what it said were attacks from north of the border.
Sudan's leaders are furious after its southern neighbour took over the Heglig oilfield, which is internationally accepted as Sudanese territory.
The African Union has demanded an unconditional withdrawal.
The South seceded nine months ago in a deal that ended decades of civil war, but there remain a number of major disputes, including oil.
Sudan's army confirmed on Friday it was launching attacks to retake Heglig after the Khartoum government vowed to react with "all means" against the offensive by South Sudanese forces.
And Sudanese army spokesman Col Sawarmi Khalid said on Saturday Heglig region was "100%" under their control.
"We are now inside Heglig and we can talk about a few kilometres separating us from the Heglig oilfield."
But Mr Machar told the BBC his country's soldiers had now pushed Sudanese troops back to Karasana, north of Heglig.
South Sudanese Information Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin told Reuters on Saturday: "They tried to attack our positions north of Heglig last night but it was contained. Heglig is [still] under our control."
South Sudan's military spokesman, Col Philip Aguer, told Agence France-Presse two Sudanese tanks had been destroyed.
There is no independent confirmation of the South's claims.
The BBC's James Copnall, in Khartoum, says it seems likely there will be further battles and what started out as a border skirmish now seems perilously close to becoming an all-out war.
Heglig is vital because it accounts for about half of Sudan's 115,000 barrel-a-day oil output and the fighting has stopped production there.
The African Union's Peace and Security Council has called the occupation of Heglig "illegal and unacceptable", but also condemned Sudan for carrying out aerial bombardments of South Sudan.
On Thursday, the UN Security Council called for an "immediate" ceasefire and expressed "deep and growing alarm at the escalating conflict".
The Garden City Mall, one of the biggest shopping centres in the city, has also been evacuated.
One of the men refused to be searched by security guards and was overpowered in a scuffle, a witness said.
In 2013, al-Shabab gunmen killed 67 shoppers at the city's Westgate mall.
Police spokesman George Kinoti told the BBC that the three men in custody were all Kenyans and the explosives were discovered in one of their bags.
"The situation is under [the] absolute control of our security agencies and the entire country is under multi-agency surveillance," he said.
The BBC's Alastair Leithead in Nairobi says it is believed to have been a small explosive device with a battery and a mobile phone attached, which could have been used as a trigger.
A statement from Garden City Mall quoted the governor of Nairobi Evans Kidero as saying it would reopen on Wednesday morning.
Mr Kidero also thanked the local police and mall employees for their "swift handling and containment of the situation."
Following the Westgate siege, security was stepped up at Nairobi's shopping complexes.
Al-Shabab has since launched a number of high-profile attacks, including one in April on a university in the north-eastern town of Garissa in which close to 150 people died.
The Tinkoff-Saxo sports director had to watch in frustration on stage 12 as Thomas helped Team Sky leader Chris Froome maintain his Tour advantage.
Froome is 2 minutes 52 seconds ahead of his nearest challenger and 4mins 4secs ahead of Tinkoff's Alberto Contador.
"Geraint Thomas is a phenomenon, he's a one of a kind almost," Yates said.
"Obviously Bradley Wiggins has won Olympic medals and won the Tour de France, and Geraint looks like he can follow in his footsteps in the long term."
Thomas - a team pursuit gold medallist at the Beijing and London Olympics - fulfilled his domestique duties brilliantly on the gruelling 15.8km climb up Plateau de Beille on Thursday.
The Welshman, 29, helped Froome absorb continued attacking breakaways by his rivals and still held on to his own fifth place in the general classification.
"[Team Sky] are a very strong team; they showed that the first day, they showed that in the past," added Yates, a stage winner in the 1988 Tour de France.
"We've got to keep fighting for the podium to move up one step at a time and you never know what could happen.
"It wouldn't be the first time that the leader had a really bad day and lost time, lost some team-mates... you just don't know."
They say this is the first clear evidence of wild chimpanzees developing a new culture.
As the team filmed the animals at a field station in Uganda, they noticed that some of them started to make a new type of leaf sponge - something the animals use to drink.
This new behaviour soon spread throughout the group.
The findings are published in the journal Plos Biology.
Lead researcher Dr Catherine Hobaiter, from the University of St Andrews, explained that chimps make and use folded up "little sponges that they dip into ponds and then suck the water out".
"We were insanely lucky," she told BBC News. "We saw two new versions of this tool use emerge in the chimps [we were watching]."
Dr Hobaiter noticed a dominant male chimp using moss rather than leaves to make his sponge.
Another picked up an old sponge that another chimp had been using and started using that.
"It might sound trivial, but the chimps [we study] just don't do that," she told BBC News.
"And both of these new versions of the tool use started at this water hole that we had amazing filming access at."
As she sat filming and watching the chimps, Dr Hobaiter saw this behaviour spread from individual to individual.
"Basically, if you saw it done, you learned how to do it, and if you didn't you didn't," she said.
"It was just this wonderfully clear example of social learning that no-one had in the wild before.
"We've had that in captivity, we've had indications in the wild, but this was the final little piece of the puzzle."
The team of researchers from Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Neuchatel in Switzerland analysed the video to work out exactly how the new tool developed and spread.
Dr Thibaud Gruber from the University of Neuchatel explained that the fact that the new behaviours were "variants of the old, well-known sponge-making technique" suggested that chimpanzee culture changes "little by little" - building on previously acquired knowledge to improve an existing tool repertoire.
"With respect to humans, our findings strongly support the idea that the last common ancestors of chimps and humans could learn cultural behaviours from each other, in a similar way," he told BBC News.
Dr Susanne Schultz from the University of Manchester said it was not surprising that chimps used this social learning: "We know from captivity that they are more than capable," she said.
"But there are so few studies that can demonstrate its utility in the wild, and for this reason this paper is a big step forward."

Around 50 people have been evacuated from the 16-storey building in Brixton, and the area has been cordoned off.
A pregnant woman, a man, and a girl were taken to hospital suffering smoke inhalation.
Ten engines and 72 firefighters were sent to the Canterbury Gardens complex after the alarm was raised shortly before 13:30 BST.
The fire started in the ground floor flat and damaged homes on the first and second floors of the 16-storey block.
Thick black smoke could be seen for miles around, with the brigade receiving 36 calls on the 999 emergency number.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
She was invited by MP Philip Hollobone after her "offensive" tweet about the town on EU referendum night.
In a video on her Twitter feed, Miss Lohan said: "I really wanted to make it but with my busy schedule I wasn't able to and I appreciate the offer."
Mr Hollobone said earlier that it was a "big disappointment".
He added: "I think that when you're an international celebrity who says you're going to do something then people expect you to do it.
"I think most of us thought that she wouldn't actually come but I think there was a little bit of all of us that hoped she would."
What does Kettering think of Lindsay Lohan?
Ms Lohan emerged as an unlikely EU referendum pundit on results night with a series of social media posts in which she pleaded with Britain not to leave the European Union.
She tweeted saying "Sorry, but #KETTERING where are you?".
In response, Conservative MP Mr Hollobone said that switching on the Christmas lights would "redeem her political reputation".
Ms Lohan replied: "Direct message me about your offer. Would be happy to light the Christmas tree in #Kettering."
Earlier a spokesman for Kettering Borough Council said the authority had repeatedly contacted Miss Lohan's management but had failed to get a definite answer either way.
He said: "They have not requested any detailed information about tonight's event so we have naturally come to the conclusion that she will not be coming.
Eastenders actress Cheryl Fergison, who is appearing in pantomime in the Northamptonshire town, is set to take centre stage alongside local children on Thursday evening.
The BBC has approached Ms Lohan's representatives for comment.
The 28-year-old grew frustrated at Manchester City before being relegated with Aston Villa but has hit 21 goals so far as Celtic clinched the league title in his first season in Scotland.
"It means so much to me because of the amount I've been through in the last few years," Sinclair said.
"It's worked out even better than I expected."
The Englishman spent five years at Chelsea before moving to Swansea in 2010, where he flourished under now-Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.
His form for the Welsh outfit earned him an £8m move to Manchester City but he was unable to hold down a place in their star-studded line-up and spent much of his three-year spell there out on loan.
After moving to Villa he suffered relegation from the Premier League, but has rediscovered his love of the game at Celtic and capped a superb debut season with a hat-trick in Sunday's title-clinching 5-0 triumph at Hearts.
"Getting relegated with Villa was tough," he said. "You're at a stage in your career when it's frustrating that you can't show your attributes, so it's great that I've come here and can show that week-in, week-out.
"To score a hat-trick that ties down the league, words can't describe how I'm feeling.
"When I came here you guys asked me what I wanted to get out of it and the main thing was to enjoy football again.
"I lost that a little bit. To go to City and for two years you're not even getting a sniff, not even making the bench some weeks and training on your own - it's mentally draining and it can affect you on and off the field. But I dug deep and stuck with it and I'm getting the rewards."
Sinclair says he has always had a inbuilt desire to better himself and revealed he even hired a coach to help him deal with the psychological side of the game during his time at Villa.
"Back at City I signed a contract that was life-changing but that didn't stop me wanting to do even better and wanting to play," he said.
"I had a mental coach that probably no-one knew about, for about six months, his name is Jag Shoker. You get to a stage in your career when you've signed a contract and it's about what you want out of the game - for me it's about enjoying playing football and playing week-in, week-out under a manager who gives me that belief and confidence.
"This is going back around a year when I was at Villa, working with Jag to change my mental state. He's helped me shift that to keep me performing again.
"I've always looked to better myself - I went through a spell when I wasn't really showing what I've got and people were questioning my ability, but coming here and signing with a manager who believes in you, you can't really ask for more."
A statement from Cliftonville said that they are fully aware of the identity of the supporter involved.
The club has asked the supporter to pay the fine by midnight on 25 March.
The Cliftonville statement said the fan's failure to "settle the debt" would affect "other strands of day-to-day activity" within the club.
"With club officials and stewards subject to recent admonishment for an alleged lack of dedication to the fortunes of Ireland's oldest football club, we are only too pleased to take a step back in this particular instance and provide the guilty party with a one-week deadline to meet the financial burden which has been placed upon us," said the Cliftonville statement.
"If, come midnight on Friday, March 25, that individual has chosen not to settle the debt, the fee will instead be paid by the Football Club, who will be left with no choice but to redirect funds from various other strands of day-to-day activity, be it merchandising, youth development or indeed the playing budget."
Cliftonville confirmed on Friday night that the fine had been imposed by the Irish FA.
Linfield earned a 3-0 victory in the Irish Cup quarter-final which set up a semi-final against Lurgan Celtic.
Roofe, 23, scored the opening goal in the 4-2 victory at Morecambe on Saturday but picked up a groin injury.
The former West Brom midfielder has netted 19 times this season and manager Michael Appleton will make an on-the-day decision over his fitness.
"We'll listen to the player and take advice from him on how he is feeling," Appleton told BBC Radio Oxford.
Appleton stressed Roofe would not be risked just because they are facing the division's top team.
"We've got 17 games left to play and plenty of points up for grabs," he added. "It doesn't make any difference to us and we've got some other big games to come.
"Let's take care of Northampton first and see how we do against the best team in the league so far this season."

Benitez guided the Magpies back to the Premier League at the first attempt.
However, he was seeking assurances that he would be able to strengthen his squad again after the club's promotion.
In a club statement, Ashley said Benitez and managing director Lee Charnley can have "every last penny the club generates" to build for next term.
Benitez added: "I'm pleased with how the meeting went and the positive approach we are all taking together to build on what we have started this season.
"There will be challenges ahead of course, the summer will not be easy, but the hard work has been going on for some time and we can now continue positively with the development of the squad ahead of the start of the new season."

Former Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid manager Benitez signed a three-year contract to remain at Newcastle in May 2016, despite the club dropping into the second tier, and the Spaniard led them to the Championship title on Sunday.
More than £50m was spent on new players last summer as Newcastle assembled one of the most expensive squads in Championship history, although almost £70m was recouped from player sales.
However, Benitez did not make any further additions to his squad in January and there were reports that the 57-year-old was considering his future at the club.
The plan requires ISPs to restrict email to official computer gateways by blocking another common route that messages travel over.
It is hoped this will thwart spammers who hijack home PCs and use them to send junk mail.
Critics say the block could do more harm than good to businesses and hit home workers.
South Korea's Internet and Security Agency has been trying for months to persuade its net service providers to sign up to a plan known as "Block 25".
It has this name because of the way computers work out what to do with data they send and receive.
Data is labelled with a "port" number which tells a computer what to do with that information. Port 25 is typically reserved for email, so blocking it could be a way to stop hijacked PCs sending messages via this route.
About 80% of the billions of junk mail messages sent every day are believed to travel through hijacked PCs.
According to statistics drawn up by security firm Sophos, South Korea is the second biggest source of spam in the world.
Instead of using port 25, Korea wants all email to travel via official mail servers to block spam and help spot infected PCs.
A spokesman for the Korean government told the BBC that it was continuing to lobby ISPs to adopt its plan which it wants to be up and working in December.
Jasper Kim, a law professor at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, said the block could have unforeseen consequences.
"No one likes spam mail," he said. "But the anti-spam measures can be viewed as a form of cyber-censorship that could have a disproportionately negative effect on small players - the very type of players needed to create a Seoul-style Silicon Valley."
A national block could also hit businesses that make legitimate use of port 25, said James Blessing, a council member of the UK's Internet Service Providers' Association.
"Many corporate mail servers run authenticated access through port 25," he said. "If you want to connect to that you won't be able to if you block port 25. You'll stop people working from home."
Far better, said Mr Blessing, was to tackle the problem at source and make greater efforts to ensure PCs were not hijacked by spammers in the first place.
Also, he added, criminals who use PCs to send junk mail will probably bypass the block completely by using a different port.
"Blocks do not solve the problem," he said. "They just move it around."

Don't take my word for it.
Scotland's first minister has appeared on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, so these choices of words, records and books are hers, not mine.
"My childhood obsession with the wonderful Cilla Black," the SNP leader tells Kirsty Young, led to "the first ever tantrum I remember".
Her mum and dad had said no when she asked if they would buy her Cilla's new album.
But her "wonderful grandad" saved the day and bought it for her instead.
Nicola Sturgeon's desert island choices:
Records:
Book: Complete Works of Jane Austen
Luxury: Coffee maker, coffee cup and milk
Track to save: My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose.
We learn too that this leader first politicised by Margaret Thatcher - what she describes as "the sense of hopelessness in the community I was growing up in, being inflicted by a government most in Scotland hadn't voted for" - is now reading Charles Moore's biography of the former prime minister.
She is fascinated, she explains, by "the art and science of decision making."
Nicola Sturgeon is a leader still learning her craft.
She took over as Scotland's first minister in 2014 from Alex Salmond, having served as his deputy.
"Nothing quite prepares you for that first moment when you've got a big decision to make," she reflects. "That feeling in my stomach and the guy next door wasn't there to pass it on to!"
It has been quite an 18 months for Nicola Sturgeon.
From losing Scotland's referendum on independence, which left her "in floods of tears… totally and utterly devastated" to the euphoria of this year's general election, where the SNP won every seat in Scotland bar three.
But this was an interview more about what makes Scotland's first minister tick than day-to-day politics.
Her nationalism, her instinct that Scotland would be better off as an independent country, had been shaped, she says, by her grandmother.
Her English grandmother.
"She came from just outside Sunderland and yet had this belief that Scotland should be an independent country," the SNP leader says.
Her views had a lasting impression on a young Nicola Sturgeon, in how she perceives nationalism - and how she sees that at odds with how some perceived her during the referendum campaign.
"I detested that sense that what we were arguing for was a rejection of England as a country, or England as a people."
"It is not about antipathy or hostility towards England," she says, and the implication it was "genuinely upset me."
How much does it matter to her that she is Scotland's first female first minister?
After all, one of her musical choices was 'Sisters are Doin' it for Themselves' by the Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin.
"This is the song that speaks to the feminist in me," she says.
But would a self-styled "feminist" give an interview to Vogue, spread over seven pages of the magazine?
"I do struggle a bit with this, I want politics to be accessible. But there is too much focus on what women wear. I am a wee bit contradicted and conflicted on that," she admits.
She acknowledged too being left feeling hurt by stories about why she never had children.
"People make assumptions about why, and frankly those people know nothing of the reality of that. The assumption that people sometimes make is that I have made a cold, calculated decision to put my career ahead of having a family, and that is not true," she says, adding:
"Sometimes things happen in life, sometimes they don't. I don't have any regrets. If I could turn the clock back… I wouldn't want to fundamentally change the path my life has taken."
Her favourite record of all combines her pride in Scotland and love of her husband, the SNP's chief executive, Peter Murrell.
It is "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" - by Robert Burns and sung by Eddi Reader.
It was played on their wedding day.
But, of course, on Kirsty Young's mythical desert island, Nicola Sturgeon would be on her own; her husband, a good cook, not there.
"I am not practical in the slightest," she said. "I wouldn't survive a week!"
You can hear Nicola Sturgeon on Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 on Sunday from 11:15 GMT.
The 34-year-old from Sheffield earned a commanding 3-0 win over German Simon Rosner in the final.
Matthew beat the world number nine 11-4, 11-9, 11-7 to become the first man since Ramy Ashour in 2013 to win three consecutive tournaments.
"It's just amazing to win this title for a fifth time and I'm going to enjoy it tonight," said Matthew.
His victory in the Canary Wharf Classic followed him winning the Swedish Open and Windy City Open titles.
Royal Navy Sea Kings have been involved in thousands of rescues since the first unit was established 44 years ago.
But the service was replaced by a civilian team at Prestwick Airport on 1 January, bringing an end to military search and rescue in Scotland.
The Sea Kings flew over the scene of many past rescues and started from Prestwick at 10:00.
Two helicopters in formation flew up Loch Lomond, passing over Tyndrum and then through Glen Coe and over Ben Nevis.
The crews then followed the west coast down to Oban before flying over Inverlochlarig, Stirling, Edinburgh, Ayr and finally Troon, finishing at about 14:30.
Bristow Helicopters will eventually operate 10 search and rescue helicopter bases in the UK on behalf of HM Coastguard, a section of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
The company was awarded the contract after a decision to privatise search and rescue in 2013.
The first of the UK bases operated by Bristow, including Inverness, became operational last year. The final UK base will be up and running by 2017.
Lieutenant Commander Charlie Fuller, the commanding officer of HMS Gannet, said: "Over the years HMS Gannet has enjoyed immense support from communities the length and breadth of Scotland.
"The flypast is our chance to say farewell and hopefully people will come out to wave goodbye too."
During 2015, HMS Gannet was the busiest search and rescue flight in the UK, completing more than 300 rescues. The unit also holds the record for the most rescues in one year, with 447 rescues around the country in 2009.
The helicopter was busy right up to the handover to Bristows earlier this month and was called to help during the flooding on 30 December, airlifting 12 people trapped on a bus caught in floodwater near Girvan, South Ayrshire.
HMS Gannet said its final day of operations on 31 December was "relatively routine", with the Sea King crew flying a casualty from the Isle of Rum to Glasgow University Hospital for treatment and assisting the police in the Invergarry area in the afternoon.
The Sea Kings, operated by the Navy from HMS Gannet and the RAF from Lossiemouth, were a familiar sight in the skies over Scotland since the 1970s. They were brought into service here during the Cold War in case pilots defending the UK from Scottish bases had to ditch into the North Sea.
As well as being involved with rescues in the mountains and at sea, they were often used to transport patients from the islands and other isolated areas of Scotland.
They worked with police and civilian mountain rescue teams. The HMS Gannet flight was known by its call sign "Navy 177", which changed to "Rescue 177" after being "tasked" on a job.
Rescue teams in Oban, Arrochar, Lomond, Glencoe and Lochaber stationed themselves along the route to wave farewell to the Navy Sea Kings.
As the helicopters flew past in close formation, members of the Lomond rescue team set off smoke flares on the summit of Conic Hill as a tribute to the crews.
Deputy team leader Jan Miller, who has worked with mountain rescue and with search and rescue dogs for 30 years, said it was an emotional moment to say goodbye the helicopters.
She told the BBC: "Trying to get in and out of a Sea King helicopter with a search dog is quite some feat and it's always been amazing to me how helpful, calm and compassionate the crews of the helicopters have been."
Ms Miller said that the flypast marked the "end of an era".
"It was absolutely superb seeing them in formation like that and being able to speak to them on the radio one last time. They really have done the rescue and the military service proud."
Christopher Halliwell denies murdering Becky Godden between 1 January 2003 and 3 April 2008.
Jurors were told he led police to her body and asked officers if it was "too late to get help".
They also heard Mr Halliwell, 52, is serving a life sentence for murdering Sian O'Callaghan in 2011.
Miss O'Callaghan went missing after a night out with friends in Swindon.
Her semi-naked body was discovered in undergrowth in Uffington, Oxfordshire, while the remains of Miss Godden were found "hidden in the middle of nowhere" in Eastleach, Gloucestershire in 2011.
The court heard that, while in Uffington, Mr Halliwell told Det Supt Steve Fulcher, who was leading the investigation: "We need to have a chat."
Mr Halliwell allegedly informed Mr Fulcher he would show him the "exact spot" where Miss Godden's body was buried.
The jury was told the accused asked what was wrong with him and said to Mr Fulcher: "Normal people don't go round killing each other."
Bristol Crown Court was told: "This defendant, Christopher Halliwell, confessed to the police that between 2003 and 2005 - he couldn't be sure of the date - he had taken a girl from the streets of Swindon.
"He told the police he had sex with her and then he killed her by strangling her. He told the police he stripped the girl of her clothes and concealed her naked body.
"Not only that but the defendant took the police to the location."
The court was told Miss Godden's skeletal remains were recovered from a field in March 2011 and soil from the area was later matched to dirt found on garden tools found at Mr Halliwell's house.
Prosecutor Nicholas Haggan QC told the jury the "last reliable sighting" of Miss Godden, then aged 20, was in Swindon town centre in January 2003.
"After that nothing more was heard from her. She quite literally disappeared."
The court heard Miss Godden's parents separated when she was aged about six.
"It is right to say Becky had a troubled adolescence," Mr Haggan said.
"She became a heavy user of Class A drugs and, at some point during her early to mid- teens, she began earning a living as a sex worker."
Miss Godden was last seen by her mother on 16 December 2002, and 11 days later a police officer recorded seeing her.
Then, in early January a friend spent time with her outside the Destiny and Desire nightclub in Swindon.
A taxi pulled up and Miss Godden approached it, returning to the car a short while later and arguing with the driver, Mr Haggan said.
"A short time later, Becky told her friends that she was leaving and she went back to the taxi," he told the jury.
"She got into the rear of the vehicle and the vehicle drove away."
"Extensive inquiries by the police indicate that this probably was the last known reliable sighting of Becky."

A taxi driver accused of murdering a woman missing since 2003 told police he was "sick" as he confessed to her killing, a court has heard. | 33,256,561 | 16,136 | 992 | true |
Nicholas Farrimond, known as Nick, suffered multiple injuries after being hit in Pope Lane, Whitestake, Preston, shortly before 01:00 BST on Monday.
The 35-year-old died at the scene.
His family said: "There is a void in all our lives that will never be filled," adding he was "a kind and most especially funny young man".
A 32-year-old man, from Preston, arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drink-driving remains in custody.
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) said in early findings patients in its scheme stayed three fewer days than other older patients.
The scheme involves visiting discharged patients within 48 hours to ensure they have everything that they need.
If successful the trial could be rolled out UK-wide, it is thought.
The Community In-reach Rehabilitation and Care Transition (CIRACT) service said a full clinical trial would begin in February 2013.
The project began in July 2011 at Queen's Medical Centre, where its overall capacity is nine patients per week on one elderly medical care ward.
NUH said if successful over an average year it could save 1,258 bed days with a cost saving of £295,630, for one ward.
The decision reflects official alarm at the state of building safety in the wake of last month's Grenfell Tower fire, in which at least 80 people died.
As results of checks on tall buildings have come in, civil servants have expressed shock at how the official rulebooks have been interpreted.
They remain unclear whether the problem is the rules or their enforcement.
Over the past month, officials in the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) have sought both to explain how the catastrophe at the Grenfell Tower in west London came about, and why so many other buildings have been found to have problems with fire safety.
It is not clear when the government review will be officially announced, but it is likely that it will be complicated by the ongoing police investigations and the public inquiry.
The three processes may need to investigate some overlapping questions.
The discovery, in particular, that combustible material has been installed on a wide range of tall local authority and housing association buildings has alarmed officials.
While it is permissible to use combustible insulation on buildings of more than 18m in height, it must follow strict guidelines. Cladding must follow principles which are designed to help prevent fires from spreading across the exterior of buildings.
To get cladding signed off by building inspectors, it must follow one of a few routes. Newsnight has identified weaknesses in each of them.
First, the regulations state that materials used in the construction of the cladding can all be either "non-combustible" or of "limited combustibility".
This is the so-called "prescriptive" route to getting sign-off and is the simplest route to compliance. If every part attached to the exterior of the building meets this standard - which, in practice, means they cannot catch or spread fire - no further action is needed.
This, at least, is how the rule is interpreted by the government and sector bodies, such as the Building Control Alliance.
But ambiguous drafting in the building regulations mean that some developers, cladders and architects have assumed that this rule only applied to the insulation on the outsides of buildings, not the exterior of the cladding.
Adrian Buckmaster, director of TetraClad, a cladding company, said: "The government is now... saying that both the insulation layer and the outer layer they believe should be of a... non-combustible class, whereas if I read the documents as they are at the moment, the clauses specifically say just the insulation and the outer layer is a completely different standard."
Second, if you wish to use materials that cannot meet the prescriptive route, you can commission a fire test.
This entails building a mock-up of your proposed design and then lighting a fire beneath it to see what happens.
The evidence gathered by this process can then be used to persuade building inspectors.
But some industry figures have told Newsnight that they fear this process, officially the "BS 8414" test, is not sufficiently robust.
A critical concern is that the test is based on a perfectly installed portion of wall. In reality, items that have been installed imperfectly or suffered wear and tear may be much more vulnerable to fire.
Philip Preston of IF P&C Insurance, a company that has commissioned its own tests, explained "We were concerned that the laboratory tests... didn't really reflect the risk in the real world.
"The buildings are not perfect and the panels are not perfect... Through the lifetime of the building, they get damaged and that exposes the insulating material."
Third, people can commission so-called "desktop studies".
If an engineer believes your proposed design is very similar to something that has already been tested, you need not test it again. The purpose of this route is to avoid testing functionally similar designs unnecessarily.
But Newsnight found engineers arguing that the results of tests using ceramic tiles could be used instead of tests on designs using aluminium composite panels - a very different material. Fire safety experts consulted by Newsnight said that the documents "extrapolated apples into oranges".
There are broader problems, too.
This part of the system also has problems with confidentiality: the fire test results - and any desktop studies - are confidential to the sponsoring organisation, who is usually the manufacturer.
Developers must, therefore, rely on often vague product information that they choose to distribute.
Newsnight also revealed how a major sector body and building inspection agency stated it would sign off the use of combustible insulation and combustible aluminium panels in a range of circumstances without even commissioning a desktop study.
This was, they said, on the basis of the volume of fire-test data and desktop studies that they had reviewed. But NHBC, the body in question, has now suspended this guidance.
Building control officers, industry figures and fire engineers have separately told Newsnight of their concerns about fire safety issues. These range from specific concerns about cladding, fire doors and paints through to whether the materials that are sold to builders are always the same as the materials supplied to laboratories for testing.
City, who had lost 10 of their previous 13 games, took a shock lead when 37-year-old Aaron Wilbraham headed home.
David Cotterill made it 2-0 soon after, capitalising on a defensive error.
But Korey Smith's own goal and Clark's header extended Newcastle's unbeaten run in the league to seven matches, although Brighton's win in the late game knocked them off top spot.
The Magpies are now one point behind the Seagulls, who won 3-0 at home to Reading.
Bristol City were booed off the pitch following Wednesday's home defeat by Fulham, a result that left them two points above the relegation zone.
But head coach Lee Johnson, who was publicly backed by owner Steve Lansdown on Friday, saw his side go 2-0 up inside the opening 21 minutes at St James' Park.
However, once Smith had turned into his own net with Magpies midfielder Jonjo Shelvey looming, the home side always looked likely to force an equaliser.
Ayoze Perez was denied by Aden Flint's superb goal-saving challenge, before Christian Atsu dragged a shot just wide.
And Newcastle's pressure was eventually rewarded when, with eight minutes remaining, Clark bundled in from close range to secure a point.
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez told BBC Newcastle:
"We didn't start well and we made mistakes, but the reaction was really good.
"When you analyse the whole game I will take the positives.
"It was a pity that we didn't win because I think we deserved something more, but at the same time we have to improve."
Bristol City boss Lee Johnson:
"I'm very proud of the players because this is a very difficult place to come - a Premier League club in waiting. No doubt they will get promoted.
"We had four academy graduates playing in front of 52,000 people. I thought our energy and our work rate was top notch.
"It's not ideal to concede two when you are 2-0 up, but I will take the positives after a very difficult week.
"That's the marker now. Not the result, but the attitude and the willingness to work for the team."

The braincases from three individuals were fashioned in such a meticulous way that their use as bowls to hold liquid seems the only reasonable explanation.
The 14,700-year-old objects were discovered in Gough's Cave, Somerset.
Scientists from London's Natural History Museum say the skull-cups were probably used in some kind of ritual.
"If you look around the world there are examples of skull-cups in more recent times - in Tibetan culture, in Fiji in Oceania, and in India," said Dr Silvia Bello, a palaeontologist and lead author of a scientific paper on the subject in the journal PLoS One.
"So, skulls have been used as drinking bowls, and because of the similarity of the Gough's Cave skulls to these other examples, we imagine that that's what these ancient people were using them for also," she told BBC News.
Gough's Cave is situated in the Cheddar Gorge, a deep limestone canyon on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills.
Palaeo-investigations started there a hundred years ago, with many of the finds now held at the Natural History Museum (NHM).
The site is particularly noteworthy for the discovery in 1903 of "Cheddar Man", the complete skeleton of a male individual dating to about 10,000 years ago.
But the users - and owners - of the skulls discussed in the PLoS One article are actually from an earlier period in the history of the British Isles.
This was during a brief warm spike in a series of ice ages that allowed humans living in southern Europe to venture north into what was otherwise an utterly inhospitable landscape.
These Cro-Magnons, as we now call them, were hunter-gatherers living on their wits and, it seems, eating human flesh when the need and opportunity arose.
Gough's Cave famously held the remains of human bones that had been butchered to extract marrow in exactly the same way as animal bones on the site had been processed.
Our modern sensibilities find the thought of cannibalism repulsive, but these people lived in a different age, Dr Bello said:
"They were a one man band; they were going out, hunting, butchering and then eating their kill. And they were extremely skilled at what they did, but then that's how they survived.
"I think the production of the skull-cups is ritualistic. If the purpose was simply to break the skulls to extract the brain to eat it, there are much easier ways to do that.
"If food was the objective, the skull would be highly fragmented. But here you can really see they tried to preserve most of the skull bone; the cut marks tell us they tried to clean the skull, taking off every piece of soft tissue so that they could then modify it very precisely. They were manufacturing something."
NHM colleague Professor Chris Stringer helped excavate one of the skull-cups in 1987 and is a co-author on the paper.
"We've known that these bones were treated in this way for 20 years; it's been evident that there were cut marks on the skulls," he told BBC News.
"But by applying the latest microscopic techniques and the experience we've got in working on butchered animal remains, as well as human remains, we can start to build up a much more detailed picture of how the Gough's Cave remains were treated. Yes, cannibalism is the most likely explanation. What we can't say is whether these people were killed to be eaten, or whether they died naturally. Were they even members of the same group?"
And precisely how the cups were used cannot be known with total confidence either, although in more recent examples of such practice they have held blood, wine and food during rituals.
At about 14,700 years old, the Gough's Cave skull-cups would represent the oldest, recognised examples in the world.
The museum plans to put a detailed model of one of the skull-cups on display this March so that visitors can get a deeper insight the practices of these ancient Britons.

City and Country, which owns HMP Kingston, showed the proposals for up to 270 homes at the site.
The developer said if social housing was to be included there would need to be 380 homes built, with blocks of up to 14 storeys instead of seven.
The Ministry of Justice sold the prison in 2014 after it had closed in 2013 to cut costs. The plans are being shown at a public consultation event.
After previous public meetings the public showed most support for a museum, with 28% of the votes, or housing with 21%.
Richard Winsborough, associate director of planning at City and Country, said: "The reason the museum doesn't feature is to make sure this scheme is viable, and residential is the highest value.
"If people think we are missing a trick they can come and tell us."
Under the proposals the gatehouse of the Grade II-listed building built in 1877 would be converted to apartments and be used as pedestrian access to the site.
City and Country is hoping to submit a planning application to Portsmouth City Council in December.
A public consultation takes place from 15:00 BST to 20:00 at the former prison.
The victims, aged 52 and 80, were attacked at a house on Woodward Close, Bury, on Sunday afternoon.
Both were taken to hospital but the younger woman died. The other woman is undergoing surgery, police said.
A 62-year-old man was detained near the scene and remains in police custody for questioning.
Det Supt Sara Wallwork, of Greater Manchester Police's Serious Crime Division, said: "One of the victims of this shocking incident has now sadly died and we have launched a full murder investigation.
"I know an incident like this can cause a lot of shock within the community but I would like to assure everybody that we have a dedicated team of detectives currently working to investigate the circumstances leading up the stabbing."
Anyone with information about the incident should contact police or Crimestoppers.
Prime Minister Theresa May announced an early election for 8 June, saying it was the only way to guarantee stability after the Brexit vote.
Mr Jones said the election was "not in the national interest".
But Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said UK ministers were in the position 'reluctantly'.
Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies said the decision was right, while Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood tweeted: "Game on."
Mrs May's decision was taken during a walking holiday in Snowdonia with husband Philip.
Mr Jones reacted to the announcement first on Twitter, tweeting: "Calling an election in the middle of another election is odd. Northern Ireland peace process high and dry?
He later added: "I have to say though that this election isn't in the 'national interest'. Focus should be on Brexit and the economy not opinion polls".
"We won last year's assembly election based on our strong record of leadership and delivery," Mr Jones later said.
"We will enter the general election campaign, whenever it comes, from a position of strength and with a distinctive and innovative offer for the people of Wales."
Shadow Welsh Secretary, Labour Neath MP Christina Rees, said "Labour will be offering the country an effective alternative to a failing Tory Government at Westminster".
Tory Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said: "We're in this position reluctantly.
"We've seen that the opposition parties are using the parliamentary process to frustrate the Brexit negotiations, and leaving the prime minister potentially in a weaker position to negotiate with the European Union.
"This will strengthen the government's hand to get the right deal for Wales."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said the snap election was "the right decision for the country".
"Here in Wales, both Labour and the Welsh nationalists have been in denial over Brexit, and have sought to undermine the process at every stage," he added.
He said every vote for the prime minister on 8 June "will strengthen Britain's hand in the negotiations ahead".
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said: "Plaid Cymru is united and we're up for the opportunity to advocate for Wales' best interests.
"The more Plaid Cymru MPs, the stronger Wales' voice will be."
A spokeswoman for Plaid Cymru said Ms Wood had not ruled in or out standing in the Rhondda constituency.
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Mark Williams, MP for Ceredigion, said the poll was a "chance to change the direction of the country".
"If you want a Britain that is open, tolerant and united, this is your chance," he said.
Senior Welsh Conservative MP David Davies welcomed the announcement, telling BBC Wales: "A strong victory will help us achieve what we want to achieve in our negotiations with the EU."
Leader of UKIP in the assembly, Neil Hamilton, "welcomes the news of a snap general election".
"This is a great opportunity for the electorate to vote out those remain MPs in Wales and elect a UKIP MP who will represent their interests in parliament," a UKIP spokesman in Wales said.
He told BBC Wiltshire his party "will have a candidate in every single constituency" across England and Wales.
Wales will be heading to the polls for the fifth time in two years in June and all the political parties will have to scramble to select candidates and draw up manifestos and strategies for an unexpected contest.
Following a strong showing in Wales in 2015, the Conservatives face a shortage of obvious target seats, although party strategists will hope seats like Wrexham, Clwyd South and Newport West could come into play if the party's current lead in the polls holds up.
Unless Labour's fortunes revive, the party is likely to find itself on the defensive in Cardiff Central and Ynys Mon, where the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru will try to cash in on Labour's current difficulties.
Before engaging in the Westminster contest though, there's the little matter of the local elections on 4 May to deal with.
National politics always has an impact on the council results and that influence can only increase given the imminence of a general election.
Mike Standing, of West Sussex, wants to raise money in memory of his friend Matt Chaplain, who died from a cardiac arrest in 2013 at the age of 38.
The world record for the longest 11-a-side match was set at 105 hours, in Edinburgh in July.
Mr Standing, from Worthing, hopes the game will be played in May.
So far, he has recruited about 10 players to his Heartbeat FC teams but would like at least 36.
"Many of those are playing throughout the season so if anything happens to one of them and they pick up an injury during that time it means we have got someone to take their place," he said.
Mr Chaplain left a wife and two young children - one of whom is hoping to take part in the charity game in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
The final score for the game in Edinburgh, played in memory of the late Falkirk defender Craig Gowans, was 774-707. It raised more than £120,000.
"It would be fantastic if we could equal that," said Mr Standing.
"I had the idea for this game several years ago but Matt's passing gave us a determined focus for it.
"Back when I had the idea initially the record was around 48 hours so it would have been an easier task to achieve."
Mr Standing hopes the game will be played at Lancing College over the spring bank holiday weekend.
It wants to hire 180 pilots, 700 cabin crew and more than 80 engineers across the country as part of the firm's expansion.
The company plans to hold road shows to fill the positions, starting in Leeds in September.
Jet2 operates from eight UK airports, with a fleet of 63 aircraft, and flies to around 220 destinations.
It flies from Belfast, Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle.
"Our family-friendly formula is clearly working with customers and it means that we're one of the UK's fastest growing airlines," said Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays.
"We have exciting plans to expand the number of destinations we fly to, as well as the number of UK bases we fly from, and this means that our team is growing all the time too."
The company was recently in the news after it was forced to divert a flight because of a drunken passenger on board. The customer has been banned for life by the airline and was jailed for six months.
Burgess, 27, spent two nights in hospital after Sunday's clash of heads with fellow Englishman Mike Cooper.
He lay prone on the pitch for several minutes, while receiving medical care, before being taken off on a stretcher.
MRI and CT scans showed no damage to the vertebrae or spinal cord and Burgess is expected to recover fully.
The Rabbitohs say they will continue to monitor the former Bradford prop for any muscle or neurological issues but he will miss Good Friday's NRL game against Canterbury Bulldogs.
Burgess returned to Australia in November after nine months with rugby union Premiership side Bath.
Bevlee Jones, from Newport, who was a huge fan of the Paisley-born singer, died suddenly in March, aged 34.
Her son Ieuan made a plea for Nutini to perform at her funeral through Facebook, but he was touring in Europe.
Nutini has announced he will play his only UK show of 2016 at Newport Centre on 20 July with profits going to Ieuan.
"When I heard of Ieuan's plea, it was with regret that I couldn't attend his mother's funeral and do what he asked of me," said Nutini, 29.
"I wanted to help him in any way that I could and I feel like a concert in aid of Ieuan himself and in memory of his dear mother was the right way to do so."
A BBC Scotland investigation has found only 13 of the country's 32 local authorities carry out roadside emissions testing.
And that is more than a decade since the powers were introduced.
Glasgow tests about 3,000 vehicles a year but other large councils such as Dundee and Aberdeen do not test at all.
Edinburgh, which has some of Scotland's most polluted streets, has never tested - despite having the power to do so.
Drivers can be issued with fixed penalty notices if they fail the tests.
The fine will be waived if drivers have the emissions defect fixed before completing an MoT inspection within two weeks.
The tests are carried out on diesel vehicles by asking drivers to rev their engines and in petrol vehicles, sample probes are inserted into exhaust tailpipes.
The figures emerged following Freedom of Information requests for BBC Scotland's documentary 'Car Sick', which examines the issue of air pollution.
The programme will be broadcast at 19:30 on Wednesday.
Since 2003, councils have had the opportunity to apply to the Scottish government for the power to carry out roadside vehicle emissions tests.
But the research revealed three of Scotland's four biggest cities are not using those powers.
Glasgow was the biggest user of the powers, with 2,926 vehicles tested in 2014-15.
Edinburgh also has the power to do so but said it had never carried out roadside emissions testing.
Aberdeen no longer carries out roadside tests and Dundee has never conducted testing.
Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee city councils all insist they are working hard to reduce air pollution.
The local authorities point out vehicles more than three years old are already subject to an emissions test as part of annual MoT inspections.
They highlight that traffic police also have the power to remove vehicles producing excessive smoke from the road.
Edinburgh's transport and environment convener, Councillor Lesley Hinds, said: "Local authorities make use of a variety of ways to improve air quality and reduce emissions, choosing the most appropriate tools where necessary to make an impact on emissions."
Aberdeen City Council's communities, housing and infrastructure convener, Councillor Neil Cooney, said it was "not cost effective" to purchase the emission testing equipment and train officers.
He said: "Officers would use the equipment only on limited occasions and, as is done elsewhere, are not in a position to share with neighbouring authorities since they do not have air quality problems."
A Dundee City Council spokesman said: "Dundee has previously attempted to seek additional funding to pilot such a scheme and may make a further bid to do so."
Meanwhile, Glasgow's executive member for Transport, Environment and Sustainability, Bailie Elaine McDougall, said the city took its responsibility to reduce air pollution "very seriously".
She said: "We know that vehicles not properly maintained can produce air pollution at levels far higher than they should.
"One way to make sure vehicles in our city are compliant and meet emissions standards is to carry out regular roadside emission testing which we do in conjunction with the police.
"Where a vehicle fails the test the owner has 14 days to have the vehicle repaired or they have to pay a fixed penalty notice.
"While we have seen air quality improvement across most of the city, we recognise that more needs to be done."
The Scottish government said its "vision" was to ensure Scotland had the best air quality in Europe and it has argued that local authorities had a key role to play.
Yet some senior councillors told the BBC they were struggling to cope with the impact of the Scottish government's road building programme, and lacked the resources they need to make a real difference.
It is claimed Scotland spent just £3m fighting air pollution last year, while investing £700m on building new roads.
When questioned about the low uptake of emissions testing powers, Transport Minister Derek Mackay said: "I think that emissions and clean air is certainly more of a topic now than it was before, and I hope that local authorities reflect on that.
"We've had a consensual debate in parliament about actions that should be undertaken, and that now has to work its way through local government as well.
"There are a range of powers that can be deployed to make an impact locally, and I'd encourage leaders to take this very seriously."
The documentary also hears from a range of experts about the health impacts of air pollution from traffic, coupled with low levels of physical activity, due to our reliance on the car.
Scotland's chief medical officer, Dr Catherine Calderwood, said the consequences were wide-ranging and were hitting the most vulnerable people the hardest.
"We risk increasing our rates of diabetes, we're increasing our rates of cardiovascular disease, increase in dementia, increase in depression, people feeling generally less good, less happy, less productive," she said.
"It is a priority because of course this is an inequalities issue.
"Babies, particularly pre-term babies, children with asthma, elderly people with chronic obstructive airways disease, or with angina, they will definitely have those conditions worsened by air pollution. So the most vulnerable people are being more affected than people who are generally healthier."
Prof David Newby, a cardiologist at Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary, has been studying the effects of pollution from traffic and particularly diesel exhausts, which generate tiny particles that go deep into the lungs.
"Over the last five years or so, we have been looking at what happens when you breathe these particles into the body, and specifically what it does to the blood vessels and to the heart," he said.
"We've found that the blood vessels in the body don't react properly when you've been exposed to diluted down diesel exhausts. They don't relax as well, so they're a bit tighter and stiffer, and they tend to form more blood clots in the body.
"Both of those things are important because they're very closely associated with heart attacks.
"We've found from various studies that have looked at population level, that when there is a polluted day, you're much more likely to have a heart attack, so, it tends to trigger heart attacks. And people who live in more polluted environments have a higher incidence of having heart disease or dying from heart disease."
Friends of the Earth Scotland campaigner Emilia Hannah said air pollution was a public health crisis which was responsible for about 3,500 deaths north of the border each year. She called for action from politicians to increase active travel and tackle congestion.
She said: "Although you can't see it, air pollution is having an impact on our health.
"We have a problem with overreliance on cars, and if the Scottish government were to invest more of its money into walking and cycling paths, and into public transport, people would have more options."
When asked why just 1.9% of Scotland's transport budget was spent on active travel such as walking and cycling, Derek Mackay said: "That's the highest ever investment in active travel. It's still at a record level, and it's about behaviour change as well, it's not just about throwing money at certain projects.
"We're spending over £1bn a year on public transport, as well as investing in projects like greener buses and electric vehicles.
"We've invested in a national cycle network, as well as walking strategies."
The Scottish Household Survey revealed that two-thirds of people travelled to work by car or van last year, while 13% of people walked and 2.6% cycled.
The documentary hears from cycling advocates in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, where 45% of commuters travel by bike each day.
Klaus Bondam is head of the Danish Cyclists' Federation and has played a key role shaping Copenhagen's transport policies.
He said: "Bicycle infrastructure is extremely cheap compared to the outcomes of it.
"For every kilometre that we exchange the car with the bicycle, we save the Danish society seven kroners. That's almost a pound, but it's saved the Danish society seven kroners in prolonged life and improved health effects."
Mikael Colville-Andersen runs the urban design company Copenhagenize, which advises cities and organisations about how to establish the bike as a form of transport.
"What is possible here, what has happened here in Copenhagen, taking the bicycle seriously as transport, is possible in every other city in the world," he said.
"Every city in the world used to be bicycle friendly. The bicycle was a primary transport in every city in the world, especially Great Britain.
"We all started to go car-centric - the greatest paradigm shift in transport in history in the UK and in Denmark and in the Netherlands - and what happened was in the 1970s we started to rediscover the bicycle.
"The Danish or the Dutch model, it's just simply cities that are focused on the bicycle as transport, and making the bicycle the most competitive way to get around, time-wise.
"In many, many cities in the UK it's still quicker to take the car. You have to change that paradigm. That's the only way to nudge people to do anything, is to just simply give them the fastest way from A to B. What you see here is possible anywhere."
Alison Johnstone, health and wellbeing spokeswoman for the Scottish Greens and MSP for Lothian, said: "This investigation shows yet again that public health is being paid lip service by both national and local government who remain unwilling to use their powers and budgets to make our streets safe and healthy.
"Successive Labour, Lib Dem and SNP governments have failed to take this issue seriously despite the clear evidence that investing in walking and cycling infrastructure and efficient, affordable public transport delivers much greater public benefit than building new roads."
Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone said: "With detailed emissions testing now part of the MOT test, it can be argued that roadside testing is no longer the best way to pursue this matter.
"It is therefore only reasonable that cash-strapped councils should be permitted to set their own priorities according to local circumstances."
BBC Scotland Investigates: Car Sick will be broadcast on BBC One Scotland at 19:30 on Wednesday 13 January, and afterwards on the BBC iPlayer.
The two pupils became unwell at the school on Monday and were taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock for treatment and were later released.
Police Scotland said the pupils were a 12-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy. Inquiries into the matter are ongoing.
North Ayrshire Council confirmed that two pupils had fallen ill and said it was assisting police with inquiries.
The police spokesman said: "We can confirm that we received a report on Monday the 7th of November of two pupils, a 12 year-old girl and a 13 year-old boy, at a North Ayrshire school, having taken unwell following what is believed to be an incident of drugs misuse.
"Both were taken to Crosshouse Hospital for observations before being released. Inquiries are continuing."
Operator Midland Expressway Limited (MEL) has agreed to let members of the Road Haulage Association access the route free of charge throughout July.
The trial will see if using the road, instead of the M6, benefits businesses.
The road opened in 2003 and links junction 11a of the M6 near Cannock, Staffordshire, to Junction 3a at Coleshill, Warwickshire.
The Black Country LEP, The Association of Black Country Authorities (ABCA) and the Black Country Chamber of Commerce have been lobbying for better use of the road to help with network congestion.
Colin Leighfield, chair of Black Country Chamber of Commerce's transport group, said: "This is an important and long overdue first step in maximising the potential of the toll road, which is one of our region's most under-utilised assets.
"Evidence from members demonstrates that regular use of the toll road for most freight and logistics firms is just not financially viable at current prices."
By Peter PlisnerBBC Midlands Transport Correspondent
For a company that makes its money from charging drivers, including lorries, to use a 27-mile stretch of highway it seems strange that it is now giving it away for free.
Add to that the fact that the M6 Toll has struggled to make a profit since it opened and the decision to allow HGV's to use it for nothing seems bizarre.
However, stand on any bridge above the road and you can't fail to notice the lack of HGV traffic.
The problem is at £11 one-way it is expensive and with fuel costs rising it is a luxury many haulage firms can not afford.
It is thought that the move by Midland Expressway will help to promote the road amongst those firms who don't use it and in the long-term help encourage more HGV traffic in the future.
Currently, the standard toll for a car on weekdays is £5.50 and £11 for an HGV.
Mr Leighfield said that the first indication to measure the trial by is if there are more vehicles using the toll and then feedback by the Road Haulage Association.
Nick Payne, Road Haulage Association Midlands (RHA) and western regional director said: "Hopefully the members will see the benefit of using the toll road.
"Obviously it's good for both of us and in that respect, it will help them [Midland Expressway] get new leads for their database and it will also help our members check whether or not it's a viable proposition for them.
"We negotiated on behalf of the members to make their businesses hopefully more viable with regards to saving time and money by using the shorter, quicker route, and hopefully it will make a difference to them to the point where they will actually want to use it on an ongoing basis."
The Fusilier Museum in Bury, Greater Manchester, wants to show the medals in 2015 on the centenary of the landings.
It owns two and has been loaned three, but the remaining VC, won by a major from East Sussex, was last heard of at auction in the 1980s.
Col Brian Gorski said finding it would be the "last piece of the puzzle".
He added that the hope was to "re-unite" the VC, won by Maj Cuthbert Bromley, with the other five medals "so we can tell their story to this generation".
The major, who had been temporarily promoted from captain, received Britain's highest award for bravery along with Cpl John Grimshaw, Pte William Keneally, Sgt Alfred Richards, Sgt Frank Stubbs and Capt Richard Willis in recognition for their actions when the 1st Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers landed at Gallipoli in Turkey on the morning of 25 April 1915.
The battalion lost more than half of its men as they landed on W Beach, which was later renamed Lancashire Landing.
Sarah Stevenson, collections officer at the museum, said the major's family was from Seaford in East Sussex, where he has been honoured in the local church, St Leonard's, and had a road named after him.
She said there had been no trace of the medal since the late 1980s, but that "someone must still be in possession of the missing medal".
"Our mission is to find it so it can take its place alongside the other VCs in the exhibition."
Lord Ashcroft, who has loaned three VCs to the museum for the exhibition, said the "'Six before Breakfast' comprise one of the most celebrated batches of gallantry medals from any action of the entire Great War".
In total, 18 men from the Lancashire regiment were awarded the VC for their actions during World War One.
A 19-year-old man and 22-year-old woman were badly injured after the crash on the B979 stretch of South Deeside Road on Tuesday night.
One of the cars burst into flames.
Police Scotland want to speak to driver of a dark 4x4 with a personalised registration.
Another driver police wanted to speak to has been traced.
The crash happened about 200m west of the Deeside Holiday Park, near the Peterculter bridge.
It involved a blue Ford Fiesta and a Ford Ka, which caught fire and was completely burnt out as a result of the collision.
Russell McKeever was jailed in January after he admitted causing the 2014 collision which led to the death of Colin Taylor, from Stonehaven.
Prosecutors argued that the sentence handed down to McKeever, of Dundee, was "unduly lenient."
Judges at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh refused the appeal.
The 42-year-old was sentenced at the High Court in Livingston by Lord Turnbull, who reduced the sentence from six years to four to reflect his guilty plea.
McKeever drove on the wrong side of the Brechin to Arbroath road and crashed into Mr Taylor's car, killing him instantly.
His wife Julie underwent 12 hours of emergency surgery after sustaining multiple fractures in the crash.
Her victim impact statement was described as "an eloquent exposition of the devastating consequences for her of the collision".
The appeal was heard before judges Lady Smith, Lady Dorrian and Lord Bracadale.
The Crown argued that Lord Turbull had failed to give due weight to the gravity of the offence.
It said that McKeever was almost three times the drink-drive limit at the time and had two previous convictions for speeding.
In his submission to the appeal judges, advocate depute Bruce Erroch said that while the level of discount was at the sentencing judge's discretion, a discount of one third was "excessive".
In the judges' ruling, Lord Bracadale said: "We consider that the sentencing judge's selection of a headline sentence of six years imprisonment cannot be said to fall outwith the range of disposals open to him.
"As to discount, we consider that the level of discount to be allowed in respect of the plea in this case was primarily a matter for the discretion of the sentencing judge."
McAuley, 50, with an address at Cavan Bank Walk, Ballyconnell, County Cavan, also pleaded guilty to producing a knife during a dispute at Kilderry, Kilnaleck, Cavan.
This was on 24 December last year.
He also pleaded guilty to threatening to kill his estranged wife's brother Tommy Tully.
This was during the same incident.
McAuley spoke only to answer guilty to each of the charges.
The judge remanded McAuley in custody to Castlerea prison, to appear again at Cavan Circuit Court on 24 November, when he will be sentenced.
The judge also ordered the preparation of a victim impact report on Ms Tully and a probation and welfare report on McAuley.
After nearly 60 years Frank, who owns a salon in Belfast city centre, is setting down his scissors.
His clients have included the poet, John Hewitt, and John de Chastelain who helped de-commission paramilitary arms in Northern Ireland.
Frank went into the business as a boy sweeping the salon floor.
Over the decades his family have dressed the heads of top politicians, actors, poets and pop stars.
Of the many famous follicles Frank has trimmed, some characters stand out.
"Van Morrison and me, we're roughly the same age and Van came in when I was about 18 or 19 and he actually taught me the love of jazz.
"He would always give me a couple of records."
Several generations of Frank's family have been barbers, with his great, great grandmother being the "first lady barber in Belfast".
The retiring barber said: "I'm a people person, I like to talk to people and also listen to people, you do an awful lot of listening.
"Sometimes it gets very deep if people are a bit depressed, but normally it's people who talk about football, and boxing and politics.
"But we never allow anyone to have an opinion on politics because you couldn't win in Northern Ireland, you would lose customers from both sides."
Another anecdote that Frank remembers typifies the black humour of Northern Ireland folk.
"There used to be a very famous newsreader over in England, I don't want to say a name, but he was the first one that wore a toupee on TV," he told the BBC.
"He was over here doing a story on Northern Ireland and we were the first barbers to do toupees.
"So, we're doing his toupee and there was a bomb scare and he wouldn't leave without it. We had his toupee off cleaning it.
"I had to literally grab him by the arm and push him down the stairs with the toupee and he's running up Castle Street with all the water round his face trying to get this toupee on in the middle of a bomb scare."
As Frank prepares for a life of leisure, he says he will miss the chat with his regulars.
"I often say to my wife, I think we're the poor man's psychiatrist," he said.
Laura Whitford decorated the centre of Royston with colourful nets and bunting to publicise a craft fair on Saturday.
The nets have been thrown on to a roof and into trees almost every day since she put them up on Sunday night.
However, Mrs Whitford put her story online and said so many people saw it, everyone "now knows about the fair".
She and her friend Anne Walls crocheted covers for bollards in the centre of town and a large net to cover the Royse Stone - a landmark that used to contain a cross, and which gives the town its name.
They put them up, together with crocheted bunting "under cover of darkness, like all good guerrilla knitters and yarn bombers do", she said.
However, on Monday morning they were gone. Mrs Whitford posted "missing" notices on local Facebook group pages. The items mysteriously reappeared that afternoon.
On Tuesday, the nets were discovered strewn on the pavement and thrown into trees. They were retrieved and returned to their rightful positions.
The following day the stone cover was spotted on the roof of a bank.
Staff from a nearby pub brought out a stepladder and retrieved the cover for Mrs Whitford.
However, it has happened again, she said.
"They're back in the trees, but frankly that's where they're going to stay until the fair."
Mrs Whitford added: "Actually, I'd like to thank the vandals because they really have done me a huge favour, and this whole saga of missing netting has given the fair more publicity than I ever could."
MK Dons midfielder Samir Carruthers and Northampton Town loanee James Collins apologised after appearing to relieve themselves on a balcony.
"We don't want this showpiece event linked with drunken culture," festival director Ian Renton told The Times.
"When a line is crossed we will react."
Stephen Atkin, chief executive of the Racecourse Association, told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "That sounds like a perfectly sensible way forward for Cheltenham.
"They would have been entitled to expect a more proactive performance from the hospitality people. But clearly the ultimate responsibility lies with Cheltenham, so they're taking it into their own hands.
"The vast majority of race-goers are extremely well behaved. We were lucky on this occasion that nobody was affected by their behaviour but it is not a risk that Cheltenham would want to take.
"There's a lot going on at the moment to make sure that everybody has an enjoyable time but people don't go too far."
In March, Bristol City's Luke Ayling apologised for any embarrassment caused to his club after being photographed with Carruthers and Collins.
Cheltenham Festival cancelled a booking from a sports management company after the incident.
The four-day Cheltenham Festival is one of the highlights of the horse racing season.
The redundant booth in Wall, near Lichfield, was brought from BT for £1 and contains books donated by charity.
Visitors to the village, which is known for its Roman ruins, have begun taking pictures of the novel booth.
Mr Crowe said: "We have a lot of visitors to the Roman site but now we have almost as many taking photographs of the phone box."

Lord Howe, Margaret Thatcher's longest serving cabinet minister and chancellor from 1979 to 1983, died on Friday.
His resignation speech in 1990 is widely seen as a key factor in Baroness Thatcher's downfall as prime minister.
Prime Minister David Cameron led tributes, saying: "The Conservative family has lost one of its greats."
The former MP for the East Surrey, Reigate and Bebington constituencies, played a "vital" role in "turning the fortunes of our country around" as chancellor, Mr Cameron added.
Lord Howe's family said he died at his home in Warwickshire after attending a jazz concert with his wife Elspeth.
'Reforming and innovative chancellor': Lord Howe Obituary
Tributes to ex-chancellor Geoffrey Howe
During his time as an MP, Lord Howe also served as Mrs Thatcher's foreign secretary, deputy prime minister and leader of the House of Commons.
But BBC political correspondent Robin Brant said his resignation as deputy prime minister - shortly after Mrs Thatcher declared that the UK would never join a single currency project - had been a "devastating blow" to her premiership.
In a famous speech to the Commons, he used a cricket metaphor to describe Mrs Thatcher's attitude to British negotiations in Europe.
"It is rather like sending your opening batsmen to the crease, only to find... that their bats have been broken before the game by the team captain," he said.
Mrs Thatcher resigned shortly after, later saying he had become a "source of division and a focus of resentment".
BBC political correspondent Robin Brant
A wolf in sheep's clothing - Geoffrey Howe was mild mannered and modest with a steely conviction. In the end he was unwilling to let Margaret Thatcher ride roughshod over him.
Denis Healey once famously said that being attacked by him was like being "savaged by a dead sheep". Yet Lord Howe proved devastating when he rose to make his resignation speech in the Commons after he quit the cabinet in protest at the then prime minister's approach to Europe and diplomacy.
His cricket analogy revealed the deep frustration many felt about what they had come to regard as an autocratic leader (who was already on the wane). With that the "dead sheep" inflicted the first blow.
He will be regarded as the man who delivered the radical changes that transformed the UK in the 1980s, by both those who regard that as a good thing and those who don't.
Mr Cameron described Lord Howe - who retired from the Lords in May - as "the quiet hero of the first Thatcher government".
"Geoffrey Howe was a kind, gentle and deeply thoughtful man - but at the same time he had huge courage and resolve," the prime minister said.
Chancellor Osborne tweeted: "I will miss Geoffrey Howe. He was a great source of advice to me; a quietly-spoken radical, whose bitterly contested budgets rescued Britain."
Sir John Major, who succeeded Lady Thatcher as prime minister, said Lord Howe "was a man whose political convictions, turned into law, transformed our nation".
He added: "Geoffrey has left a benevolent mark on our national life, and I hope in death will receive the credit so often denied him in life."
Other former Conservative chancellors were among those paying tribute. Lord Lamont praised him as a "Tory with a social conscience, who wanted opportunity for all".
Ken Clarke said: "He had very strong views about how best to serve the national interest - that's what he saw himself as doing, and having thought through his views with a very good, clear intellect he then stuck to them and succeeded in delivering them."
Former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine said he had been a "political rock".
"He carried huge personal strain for the success of that government," he added.
"They were very controversial times, controversial policies, but Geoffrey was unbending and unyielding but he was a very kind, courteous and gentle man."
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said Lord Howe - who was born in Port Talbot - had been a "towering" political figure who always had a great affection for Wales.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted: "I got to know Geoffrey Howe when he was Foreign Secretary and valued his knowledge and experience. Condolences to Elspeth and family."
And Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell said: "Lord Howe devoted his life to the service of his country and did so with distinction.
"He was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in and famously demonstrated this in his historic confrontation with Mrs Thatcher."
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron described Lord Howe as a "kind, decent and honourable man".
A statement from Lord Howe's family said a private family funeral, followed by a memorial service, would take place in due course.
The plane is powered completely by the sun and has been in Nanjing in China waiting to leave for a month.
So far on its epic round-the-world, Solar Impulse has only had to do short journeys of about 20 hours'.
The plane is now trying to fly non-stop from Nanjing in China to Hawaii in the Central Pacific.
The carbon-fibre aircraft has a huge wingspan of 72m - that's wider than a Boeing 747 jet - but it weighs about the same as a large car.
For a passenger airliner, the 8,000km journey would take around 10 hours.
But for this solar-powered, prop-driven, experimental aircraft - it could take 5-6 days and nights of non-stop flight.
Completing this journey will involve smashing several aviation records - not least the longest-duration journey for a single-seater plane.
The Swiss engineer Andre Borschberg, who will be at the controls, has lots of confidence in the technology, but he knows how tough the next mission will be.
"It's more in the end about myself; it's going to be an inner-voyage," he told the BBC.
"It's going to be a discovery about how I feel and how I sustain myself during these 5-6 days in the air."
Solar Impulse: The journey so far
Mark Hillman, 26, was shot twice in the back and found on a pavement in Lloyd Close, Everton, on 27 April last year.
John Paul Johns, of Broad Lane, Kirby, has been charged with murder and is due to appear at South Sefton Magistrates Court on Saturday.
Two men have previously been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in relation to Mr Hillman's death.
A third man was charged with two counts of assisting an offender and a section 18 wounding offence in October.
This didn't engender a bout of soul searching about Labour's meltdown in Scotland - instead the candidates swiftly and unsurprisingly turned the question to their advantage.
Yvette Cooper said it was time for Labour to break the glass ceiling and elect a woman leader - unsurprisingly Liz Kendall agreed.
The two women each had different pitches, though - the former had run a big government department, she said, while the latter described herself as "a fresh start".
Andy Burnham saw the SNP's success as evidence that people were fed up with a political elite and he was the man to take his party out of the Westminster bubble.
The most left wing of the candidates - Jeremy Corbyn - preferred the nationalists' anti-austerity message.
He had struggled to gain enough nominations to take part. His supporters said his inclusion would broaden the debate and it certainly did that.
Here in Nuneaton in Middle England - a seat where Labour had lost ground since the last election - he argued strongly against those who said immigration was causing problems with public services.
While the others talked of tougher rules or tougher enforcement he passionately put forward the case that the health service and public transport would be struggling without staff who had immigrated here.
Liz Kendall - who is seen as a Blairite candidate but who describes herself as "today and tomorrow" Labour - also defended immigration but was the only contender to suggest she would consider taking away tax credits from migrant workers.
And the shock of Labour's defeat still hasn't subsided.
The nagging doubt that none of the candidates might be right for the 2020 election led to the question of whether they would resign if things were going badly.
Jeremy Corbyn called for more regular leadership contests - every couple of years - while Yvette Cooper said the candidates shouldn't decide the rules.
Unequivocal answers came from Liz Kendall and Andy Burnham - both said they would go - the latter 'for the good of the party', while the former responded with the jibe that she felt the country should come first.
She claimed she was the candidate the Tories fear most - but the others are arguing that in some ways she is too influenced by the current party of government and that for Labour to broaden its support it doesn't have to move away too dramatically from all its previous policies.
Hoey had picked up two shots after 12 holes of his third round to climb to four-under par when play was suspended for the day in New Delhi.
Defending champion SSP Chawrasia, Eddie Pepperell and Carlos Pigem are tied on six-under ahead of the final day.
Over half the field has yet to compete 54 holes after the threat of lightning had disrupted the opening two rounds.
Hoey started his third round on two-under par and birdies on the 5th, 9th and 11th holes saw him move to within a shot of the lead as the light began to fade.
The Ballymoney man finished the day with his first bogey of the round as his par putt on the 12th just lipped-out.
Chawrasia, Pepperell and Pigem are all tied on six-under par after 11 holes of their third rounds with Spain's Pigem picking-up four shots to move into contention before play was halted.
Gavin Green of Malaysia is just a shot off the lead in fourth place after a run of six consecutive birdies during his third round.
Hoey, who lost his European Tour playing card last year, is tied for fifth place alongside England's David Horsey.
Ireland's Paul Dunne missed the weekend cut after a second round 83 left him on 11-over par.
The firm - which is part of the luxury goods-maker LVMH Group - is forming a partnership with Google and the chipmaker Intel to create the device.
Switzerland dominates the high-end watch sector. This marks the first of its companies to join Google's wearable tech ecosystem.
One analyst linked the move to Apple's entry into the market.
The announcement was made at the Baselworld trade show in Switzerland.
Jean-Claude Biver, president of LVMH's watch division, told the BBC that it made sense to look beyond Switzerland's borders once his firm had decided to enter the smartwatch market.
"There are two operating systems: one is Apple's iOS, the other is Android Wear - who are we to invent another language at that level?" he said.
"It would be absurd, it would be arrogant to believe that we could develop our own [operating system]. It would be a catastrophe to believe such a stupid thing.
"There is no doubt that we could eventually go to Apple, but why should we do a partnership with Apple, who is producing watches? On the one side they would be partners, on the other a competitor.
"Google is not producing watches, so the relationship is perfect."
Intel noted that Tag Heuer's 155-year-old brand had long been associated with "being dynamic, disruptive and modern" making it a good partner.
But it added that it wanted to pursue other tie-ups with traditional watchmakers.
"Our hope is that this type of partnership will set a precedent for other brands to consider diversifying into wearable tech and enhancing their products with technology," said spokeswoman Ellen Healy.
About 720,000 watches powered by Android Wear were shipped in 2014, according to market research firm Canalys.
To date fitness tracking wristbands have outsold the smartwatch sector as a whole by a wide margin.
However, next month's launch of the Apple Watch - backed by a big budget marketing campaign - is expected to raise interest in the sector.
Apple's wearable is only compatible with its own handsets, and phones powered by the Android operating system are much more widespread.
"The palpable buzz around the Apple Watch has raised consumer awareness levels to a point that traditional watchmakers can no longer ignore this emerging opportunity," commented Ben Wood from the tech consultancy CCS Insight.
"Tag Heuer's decision to partner with technology companies to deliver a smartwatch will likely be the first of many similar deals. As the Baselworld event shows, the luxury goods space is big business."
The Swiss firm has not revealed any images of what the device will look like yet.
But Mr Biver suggested it would stand out from other smartwatches.
"The whole look of the watch will be different," he said.
"It will be a traditional look. It will not look like an Apple Watch. An Apple Watch looks like a miniaturised copy of its phone. Our watch will never look like a phone.
"Our watch will [have] all the emotion and the DNA of Tag Heuer and it will fit into our collection."
Earlier in the day US-based watchmaker Fossil Group gave a foretaste of its forthcoming "connected accessories" range. It will include Android Wear-powered smartwatches as well as other sensor-equipped models, as part of the firm's own tie-up with Google and Intel.
The company makes a wide range of watches under its own name and for other brands including Emporio Armani, Diesel, Michael Kors and Burberry. To do this it creates modular components that can be used across multiple designs.
Fossil signalled that it would take a similar approach to creating a diverse portfolio of tech-enhanced wristwear.
"There are many many products coming to market that all look the same," said Theresa Palermo, a marketing executive at Fossil, at the firm's Baselworld press conference.
"[But] what we all know and love about fashion is the ability to be unique, the ability to be different.
"That is what we see as the big opportunity - merging the fusion of technology that users need and want… with our incredible ingenuity and design innovation."
She added that the first products would be released this year.
Fossil recently reported a 1% year-on-year drop in watch sales at a time many of its rivals were reporting growth.
It accounts for about 6% of all watch sale revenues, according to market research firm Euromonitor, making it one of the five biggest firms in the sector.

Mr Paisley, son of former first minister Dr Ian Paisley, said Mr McGuinness's "remarkable journey not only saved lives, but made the lives of countless people better".
Mr McGuinness forged a friendship with the late Dr Paisley when they shared power at Stormont, despite previously being sworn enemies.
When Dr Paisley died, Mr McGuinness said he had lost "a friend".
On Thursday, Mr McGuinness confirmed he would not stand in the Northern Ireland Assembly election citing health issues.
The 25-year-old broke the world number 25 in the opening game and dropped only four points on serve in the first set.
The world number 10 wasted four match points on her own serve in the eighth game of the second set, but broke Gavrilova in the ninth to seal victory.
Konta will play Russian world number 26 Daria Kasatkina in the quarter-finals.
The 19-year-old beat world number one Angelique Kerber earlier. Third seed Dominika Cibulkova and fifth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova were also beaten on Tuesday.
Konta said: "It's such a strong tournament, such depth. I know going into every single match that it's going to be a tough one and I'm just going to have to, first and foremost, take care of things my end."
Shire led through Thomas Orr but Jordan Cairnie's headed own goal levelled matters.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the jobless total fell by 17,000, or 0.6%, over the three months to April to stand at 109,000.
The Scottish unemployment rate now stands at 4%, which equals the figure recorded between March and May in 2008.
The UK rate is 4.6%, with a total of 1.53 million unemployed people recorded in the latest quarter.
Meanwhile, employment in Scotland rose by 14,000 over the same period to stand at 74.1%.
But the ONS also reported a fall in UK average earnings, which grew by 2.1% in the year to April - down by 0.2% on the previous month.
The fall was greater when measured over a three-month period, confirming that wages are falling behind the 2.9% inflation rate.
Employability and Training Minister Jamie Hepburn said: "Scotland's unemployment rate is at its lowest rate since the recession and matches the lowest on record for Scotland since the series began.
"With the employment rate rising, it's clear this is hugely positive news for our economy and the jobs market."
The UK government's Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "Today's figures show that Scotland's labour market continues to improve and I am pleased that the unemployment rate has fallen to the lowest rate on record.
"But a number of significant challenges remain and I want to see Scotland's economic performance improve, catching up with the rest of the UK.
"This is why it is more important than ever that Scotland's two governments work together to help ensure Scotland's prosperity."
Dr Stuart McIntyre, from the Fraser of Allander economic research institute, said: "At a time when the Scottish economy is struggling, at first glance the labour market appears to be holding up rather well.
"However, almost all of the growth in employment over the year to the latest quarter is accounted for by growth in self-employment rather than in traditional employee jobs.
"Not nearly enough is known about the nature and composition of this recent growth in self-employment to judge whether this is a positive development."
Scottish Chambers of Commerce welcomed the figures but said there were still "some areas of concern", with average earnings continuing to lag behind inflation.
Chief executive Liz Cameron said: "Low productivity rates dictate that earnings growth may be unlikely to improve significantly over the short term and, with inflation having risen by more than expectations, the pressures on consumer demand, business margins and future business investment continue."
She added: "Scotland has also experienced a significant rise in the number of people dropping out of the labour market altogether over the past year.
"Coupled with continued reports of hard to fill vacancies amongst Scottish businesses, this underlines the need for government to increase investment in training opportunities, not only for young people but also for older workers, to enable people to upskill and reskill and get back into the workforce." | A pedestrian who died when a car mounted a grass verge and struck him was "wonderfully caring", his family has said.

The average Norwegian has 33 apps, the Norwegian Consumer Council says, whose terms and conditions together run longer than the New Testament.
To prove the "absurd" length, the council got Norwegians to read each of them out in real time on their website.
The reading finished on Wednesday, clocking in at 31:49:11.
Some of the world's most popular apps were chosen, including Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, Skype, Instagram and Angry Birds.
"The current state of terms and conditions for digital services is bordering on the absurd," said Finn Myrstad from the Norwegian Consumer Council.
"Their scope, length and complexity mean it is virtually impossible to make good and informed decisions."
The council is calling on the industry to write shorter, clearer terms and conditions and to adopt a common standard.
The firms have agreed to sell a range of assets to ease the path of the deal.
The move comes after the Competition and Markets Authority found the merger could curb competition in the supply of services to the UK oil industry.
It told the firms to offer a remedy or face an in-depth investigation.
On Tuesday, the CMA said it was considering new undertakings put forward by the companies.
The proposals would see Amec Foster Wheeler sell off "almost all" assets which contribute to engineering, construction and maintenance services in its upstream offshore oil and gas business in the UK.
The watchdog added that there were "reasonable grounds" for believing these undertakings, or a modified version of them, might be acceptable.
It will now open a public consultation on the proposals.
The CMA's decision-maker in the case, Kate Collyer, said: "It is crucial that competition is maintained in this major UK industry.
"We will consider the undertakings offered by Wood Group and Amec Foster Wheeler further, and carefully consult interested parties, in order to make sure that they fully address our concerns."
The CMA's final decision on the takeover is due by 12 October.
Wood Group chairman Robin Watson described the CMA's announcement as an "important milestone", adding that it gave the firm "further confidence in our ability to complete the transaction in quarter four this year".
Amec Foster Wheeler also welcomed the latest development.
Chief executive Jon Lewis said: "Our offer of a proposed remedy in May and the early commencement of the sale process to potential buyers of the upstream oil and gas business has ensured we have navigated this process ahead of schedule, increasing the likelihood that the transaction with Wood Group will close in quarter four this year."
If it goes ahead, the deal would create a company with a combined value of about £5bn.
Countries on both sides of the conflict are seeking to narrow considerable gaps which stand in the way of progress.
These include the fate of Syria's president, which groups could join talks with the regime, and which should be classed as terrorists.
The UN Security Council is expected to later vote on a text backing the broad plan for a truce and negotiations.
It follows a meeting of the so-called International Syrian Support Group (ISSG) which met in Vienna in November and agreed on the parameters of a political plan for the war-torn country.
There, 19 countries, including Syria's allies Russia and Iran, set a target of 1 January for the start of peace talks between the regime and the opposition.
The delegates signed a UN statement calling for a ceasefire to be agreed by 14 May 2016 and for free elections to be held a year later.
There are some smiles, but no answers. In two previous meetings diplomats agreed a broad timetable for a ceasefire and political negotiations. But that was the easy part.
Now they're trying to forge a unified opposition delegation for the talks and decide which armed groups are terrorists. Russia and Iran, which back Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, have made clear they're unhappy with the results so far.
And opposition groups are unhappy that there's no mention of Mr Assad's departure. The Western and Arab states that support them have accepted he'll stay for part of the transition, but want guarantees he'll eventually leave office.
Building on the diplomatic momentum, Saudi Arabia, a staunch foe of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, held a meeting earlier this month of dozens of disparate rebel and Syria opposition groups to try to forge a common approach to possible peace talks.
They agreed to a programme of six months of negotiations followed by the formation of a transitional body from which President Assad and his aides would be excluded.
However, Russia, Iran and Syria dismissed the meeting, saying the groups were unrepresentative and unacceptable.
There are still significant areas of disagreement between the two sides in the war and their backers.
One of the major sticking points is which rebel groups should be considered terrorist outfits and consequently excluded from any talks or ceasefire. Jordan has been tasked with drawing up a list.
The Syrian war, which is heading towards its fifth year, has killed more than 250,000 people and displaced nearly 12 million, the UN says.
The United States, which supports the Syrian opposition, wants a negotiated settlement based on the 2012 Geneva Communique, which calls for the formation of a transitional governing body. It says President Bashar al-Assad must go.
Russia, which launched an air campaign against Mr Assad's opponents in September, also calls for the implementation of the Geneva Communique. But it says Mr Assad's future is for the Syrian people, and not external powers, to decide.
Most of Syria's political and armed opposition factions now agree on the need for a managed transition, but they demand that the president leave at the start of it.
Bashar al-Assad says peace talks cannot begin until "terrorism" is eliminated, and that his departure is out of the question before elections are held.
The bugs construct this defensive barrier in a complex process that depends on a key dual-protein molecule.
Its structure has been mapped using the intense X-rays of the Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire.
Researchers tell the journal Nature that drugs can now be developed to interfere with this LptDE protein.
"We identified how LptDE builds up the outer membrane," explained Prof Changjiang Dong, from the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School.
"It does this through a 'path' and a 'gate', and we have shown that if we block the path or the gate, the bacteria will die. To do this, you would design and use another, much smaller molecule," he told BBC News.
The experiments targeted gram-negative bacteria, which cause a large number of infections, ranging from salmonella to meningitis.
This class of bugs is getting increasingly smart at warding off attack from antibiotic treatments thanks in part to the impermeability of its lipid-based outer coating.
The protein complex LptDE is the "bricklayer" that pulls up the lipopolysaccharide "bricks" from inside the bacterium to insert them in the cell wall.
Crystalline forms of the complex were sent to the Diamond synchrotron, which uses especially brilliant X-rays to illuminate structures at the atomic scale.
The team used this information to then model LptDE's behaviour and determine its weaknesses.
What makes LptDE such a fascinating target for new drugs is that it is highly "conserved" - its role is common across gram-negative bacteria.
Is rise of drug-resistant bacteria the biggest threat we face?
What is more, by attacking the functioning of the outer membrane new drugs would not need to get inside the bugs before starting their work.
And, in any case, resistant bugs seem to have evolved a mechanism to simply pump antibiotics back out when they do get through.
"If the bacteria do not have the outer membrane, they cannot withstand environmental changes. It also makes it easier for the human immune system to kill them," said Prof Dong.
Prof Mark Fielder, from the Society for Applied Microbiology, commented: "The work reported is at a very early stage but does offer some potentially useful information in the fight against bacterial resistance.
"What is needed now is the development of a usable inhibitor that can be tested against gram-negative clinical strains of bacteria to see if there is a longer term value to the research," he told the Science Media Centre.
And Prof Brendan Wren, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, added: "New antibiotics against gram-negative bacteria, including many hospital superbugs, are notoriously difficult to develop and the problem is exacerbated as many of these bacteria are increasingly resistant to currently used antibiotics.
"The authors have unravelled the structure, architecture and mechanism of transport of a critical surface structure in gram-negative bacteria named the lipopolysaccharide. The studies open new avenues to design a novel class of antibiotics to disarm and kill pathogenic bacteria."

Ms Daoud, a former BBC journalist, was detained by plainclothes policemen at her home in Cairo on Monday and put on a plane to Beirut.
The move came hours after her contract was terminated by privately-owned OnTV.
Her show, Al-Soura Al-Kamila (The Full Picture), controversially aired views critical of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and his government.
Mr Sisi has cracked down on dissent since leading the military's overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Ms Daoud's 10-year-old daughter, an Egyptian national, was at their home when her mother was led away by police. Officers reportedly confiscated Ms Daoud's mobile phone and British passport.
There was no formal explanation for Ms Daoud's deportation, but a security official told the Associated Press (AP) that her residency permit had expired.
Shortly before her arrest, Ms Daoud had written on Twitter: "I am announcing the official termination of my contract with OnTV after five years that began in 2011."
Ms Daoud's lawyer, Zyad el-Elaimy, said her first comment after landing in Beirut was that she would challenge the decision.
"It's the first time someone is deported in this fashion in Egypt," Mr Elaimy told AP by telephone from Cairo.
The Egyptian authorities, he added, were "not prepared to hear any diverse voices or to hear anyone who is supportive" of the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
"This is a campaign against respectable media and free journalism," said Al-Soura Al-Kamila's editor-in-chief, Amer Tamam.
"All we were doing was presenting a respectable show... so we don't know what we are being punished for."
OnTV was sold last month by the billionaire businessman Naguib Sawiris to Ahmed Abou Hashima, a steel magnate and Sisi supporter.
Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who served briefly as interim vice-president after Morsi was ousted, praised Ms Daoud for her "professionalism, credibility and courage".
"One day we may have enough self-confidence to understand the value of having different opinions," he wrote on Twitter.
Satirist Bassem Youssef, whose TV show was taken off air for its criticism of the government, said her arrest was "just the beginning".
"Egypt... can't tolerate the rest of the world,'' he wrote on Facebook.
In May, the head of the Egyptian journalists' union and two other top members were recently charged with harbouring fugitives following a police raid of the union's headquarters that saw two journalists for an opposition website arrested.
Also on Monday, the prominent feminist activist Mozn Hassan was banned from travelling to Beirut for a meeting of women human rights defenders.
Nazra for Feminist Studies, which Ms Hassan founded, said she was barred due to her alleged involvement in a case in which non-governmental organisations have been accused of receiving foreign funds with the aim of sowing chaos.

But the majority of Myanmar's population still lives in rural areas, which have recently been affected by devastating floods.
The BBC's Karishma Vaswani has been to rural Yangon to talk to the man who runs Unilever in the area.
The claim: The government is spending record amounts on education in England.
Reality Check verdict: The absolute amount of money in the pot for schools in England is at record levels but once you factor in rising pupil numbers, inflation and running costs, schools will have to cut approximately 8% from budgets by 2020.
She was talking about England, because education is a devolved matter and is funded separately in the other UK nations.
But head teachers in England have been raising the alarm about growing holes in their budgets.
When the prime minister talks about record amounts of funding going into education, she is referring to the Dedicated Schools Grant, which is the whole block of money going to schools in England. This stands at £40bn this year.
It is true that this is the biggest pot in cash terms, but, of course, how generous the pot is depends on how many pupils there are in the system.
There was a baby boom in the early 2000s, which has been hitting primary schools for several years and is now moving up through the secondary system.
Between 2009 and 2016, the school system expanded to take in an extra 470,000 pupils.
The Department for Education says that between 2016 and 2025 there will be a further increase in the state school system, up from about 7.4 million pupils to about 8.1 million.
So looking at how much is being spent per pupil is a more meaningful figure.
David Cameron in 2015 committed to freezing school spending per pupil in cash terms. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) warned that this would result in an 8% real-terms cut in school spending per pupil due to inflation and the rising cost of wages, pensions and National Insurance contributions.
This amounts to the biggest fall in spending on each pupil in 30 years.
The National Audit Office estimates that schools will have to make £3bn worth of cuts as a result of these factors.
The government is consulting on a new funding formula, which it says will be a fairer way of allocating the cash to schools around the country. Under current plans, almost 11,000 schools stand to gain and around 9,000 will lose funding.
How the funding formula could work
The following types of schools would get extra funding:
This model is what the Department for Education wants every school to move towards eventually but, for the first two years, transitional protections are in place meaning no school can lose more than 3% of their funding.
This means that the best-funded schools under the current system will still get more than £4,312 basic funding per Year 11 pupil for the two year period because of these protections.
For now, one pupil might attract more funding than another with the same characteristics in terms of deprivation, attainment and so on in another part of the country. The idea is that, eventually, two pupils with the same characteristics will attract the same amount of funding no matter what school they attend.
It's fair to say the majority of the schools at the very bottom of the pile are in urban areas and the biggest winners are mostly in rural areas.
The top 30 winners are almost all in Cumbria, Shropshire and Cornwall, while 13 of the bottom 30 are in London or Birmingham. Other losers are in Coventry, Rotherham and Wakefield.
However, it's not quite as simple as urban loses, rural wins. There is a chunk of losers in the funding formula in Lincolnshire, for example, while some London schools are gaining too because of the changes in the way the government assesses need.
But analysis from independent think tank the Education Policy Institute suggests the gains made by some schools will be wiped out by the overall cuts they will need to make to keep up with rising cost pressures.
It's also worth pointing out that the schools budget, which is for five to 16-year-olds, is distinct from overall education spending.
Mrs May claims spending on education is at record levels in absolute terms. In fact, while schools have done well in terms of funding per pupil in the longer term - it will be at least 70% higher in real terms in 2020 than it was in 1990 - the IFS says spending on pupils in sixth forms and further education will be no higher in 2020 than it was 30 years previously.

The second seed won 6-2 6-4 7-5 under the Centre Court roof to reach the last 16 without dropping a set.
"Murray is so comfortable in these surroundings now. He's maturing as a player and as a person. It's great to watch. It's been a disconcerting week for the top players, but Andy will be delighted with the way he has played."
And over Mariana Duque-Marino on the same court means Britain could still have two players in singles action at the start of week two.
Robson must return on Saturday to play Marina Erakovic, while Murray can enjoy a weekend off before he comes back on Monday to face Mikhail Youzhny or Viktor Troicki.
The 26-year-old is now three wins from a return to the final next Sunday, and in the absence of the beaten Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, is well placed to reach his fourth successive Grand Slam final.
"People are putting even more pressure on me because of the nature of how the draw has worked out," said Murray.
"It would be a lot easier if we just concentrated on each match at a time. Upsets are never far away and you have to be very focused on your game to avoid that."
Robredo, 31, has battled his way back from 471 in the world last year to his current ranking of 29 after a leg injury, but overcoming the world number two proved a challenge too far.
With the roof closed after rain began to fall as the players first made their way to court, Murray cranked up the pressure early on.
He grabbed a break in game three with a heavy cross-court forehand that Robredo could not handle, and moved 4-1 up when the Spaniard fired a forehand long.
The Scot's double break lasted only a couple of minutes as a sloppy service game followed, but a blistering backhand winner helped him to a third break and the set was his in just over half an hour.
Robredo's Centre Court debut was in danger of being embarrassingly swift when the world number two cracked a backhand past him to break at the start of the second set.
"Before the tournament I would have said there's slightly less pressure on Murray because he's won a Grand Slam now and won the Olympics at Wimbledon, but now because of the draw opening up it has all been 'he's got to get to the final at least!' I think it would be a classic match if he and Djokovic were to play, I respect the other players but I hope it happens."
The Spaniard managed to cling on gamely, and Murray showed a rare chink in his armour as he slipped break point down while trying to serve it out, but a huge forehand that sent Robredo tumbling at the baseline saw off the danger.
Robredo had come back from two sets down in three successive matches at the French Open earlier this month, and did not crumble this time.
It took a Murray backhand volley that landed on the back of the baseline to set up the chance of a decisive break at 5-5, and Robredo netted to effectively end his challenge.
Murray saw one match point slip by when Robredo fired a spectacular forehand winner, but moments later the Spaniard failed to repeat the trick and the British number one took his now customary place in week two.
"I thought I struck the ball really well from the start of the match," said Murray. "I had a lot of winners and that was probably the most pleasing part.
"The third set was a tough one so I've been tested and come through it well. I hope I can keep playing better."
Paddy Dear, 16, was found near Dale Fort, at about 01:00 GMT on Friday, after a search by Dyfed-Powys Police.
He was visiting the Dale Fort field centre, Haverfordwest, with Campion School, in Hornchurch, Essex.
Head teacher Keith William told parents in an email his death had a "devastating effect" on the school.
In an announcement on the school's website, Mr Williams said Paddy was a "keen sportsman" and a "popular, very friendly and caring young man".
"His team members remember him as a talented, all-round sportsman, loved by all who got to know him, fantastic company and the life and soul of any party," he added.
A special memorial mass for sixth-form students was held at 11:30 at the school.
Paddy was reported missing by his teachers with his body later recovered after a joint search by police and the coastguard.
Dyfed-Powys Police said his "family had been informed" and they were being supported by officers in Hornchurch.
The force asked anyone with information to get in contact.

England led 14-11 at half-time, but the visitors dominated after the break despite having Dane Coles sin-binned.
Lancaster said: "We haven't got the right result, but we don't feel we're far away. In the first half we were pretty close if not level."
It is New Zealand's fifth win over England in 12 months.
The losing run suggests England have some way to go if they are to triumph at next year's World Cup, but Lancaster remains optimistic.
He added: "We've got some good players watching the game, so we'll keep our confidence and maintain the direction in which we're going.
"The All Blacks have played eight games and two-and-a-half months together since we last played them and I thought we put them under pressure.
"We created opportunities in attack but obviously there's a period of play they constructed that shows why they have the experience to close out a game like that.
"That's what we've got to get."
Jonny May's first try for England had given Lancaster's side the perfect start but they squandered a handful of excellent opportunities to turn their early domination into points.
England were left to rue those missed chances as the All Blacks began to dominate and they were rewarded with second-half tries from captain Richie McCaw and replacement Charlie Faumuina.
"We've had one-and-a-half week's preparation and we've got young lads who are 20 and 21 years old making their debuts at Twickenham against the All Blacks - that's a positive," Lancaster continued.
"The performance of the pack was excellent - it couldn't have been far off 100% line-out. We put a lot of pressure on their ball and there was some good rugby on show in the first half.
"We missed one opportunity in the first half which could have made a difference.
"We need to work on the accuracy of our kicking, the pressure we put on ourselves playing in and around our halfway line.
"When the weather turned New Zealand maximised that opportunity well and when the hooker was in the sin-bin they managed that well as well.
"We couldn't get the territory to get close to them in the second half."
New Zealand's match-day squad had 1,023 caps compared to England's total of 437 before kick-off, but Lancaster's counterpart Steve Hansen does not believe his side's greater experience was the decisive factor.
"If your team has more caps than the other and you lose they tell you they are too old and should retire - it's just an excuse," he said.
"The big thing that changed in the second half was that we got a wee bit urgent.
"In that first half England were probably half a click in front of us the whole time, showed a bit more desperation and urgency to get to places."
May will recall his first England try with relish as he fizzed through a narrow gap down the left and then skinned full-back Israel Dagg on the outside.
The Gloucester wing said: "That has been coming for a while. I have kept going and getting opportunities, and that try put us in a good position. I will remember it forever."
His body was found in an apartment at Holborn Street on Monday afternoon.
He was in his late 50s and lived alone. A man and woman, both in their 20s, were arrested on Monday night.
A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out later.
Fr Roy Donovan said childbirth and menstruation meant women "were more used to sacrifice and suffering".
A woman saying "this is my body, this is my blood," during the sacrament of the Eucharist could give it more meaning, he said.
"Many females give up their bodies, just as Jesus did," he told the BBC.
Fr Donovan, parish priest of Caheronlish/Caherline in County Limerick, is an outspoken supporter of women priests.
He said he was trying to counteract the Catholic Church's argument that only a male could celebrate the Eucharist - a ritual service of thanksgiving to God which centres on the consecration of bread and wine and their distribution at Communion.
Roman Catholics believe the bread becomes the body of Jesus, and the wine his blood, in the process of their blessing by a priest, and that sharing it at Eucharist or Holy Communion commemorates the Last Supper shared by Jesus and his apostles, and Jesus' sacrificial death by crucifixion.
"The bottom line is that despite being equal to men by virtue of their baptism, women are excluded from all positions of authority, decision making and ministry," he said.
He first made the comments in an interview with the Irish Times, where he also expressed his objection to the introduction of a male-only permanent body of deacons in his archdiocese before completion of a report by the papal commission on women deacons.
Deacons are a clergy rank one below priest.
Currently all Catholic priests and deacons are male. Priests must be celibate, but deacons can be married men.
The BBC has contacted the Diocese of Limerick for comment.
The ex-diplomat, who has argued for more immigration controls, will sit as a crossbencher in the House of Lords.
Former Commons Clerk Sir Robert Rogers, former MI5 boss Sir Jonathan Evans and education expert Professor Alison Wolf are also honoured after being nominated by Prime Minister David Cameron.
Downing Street said it reflected their proven track record of public service.
The peerages have been approved by The Queen.
Sir Andrew Green founded Migration Watch in 2001 after serving in the Diplomatic Service for 35 years, including as UK Ambassador to Syria and Saudi Arabia.
The organisation, which campaigns for a more managed immigration policy, said the nomination was a "clear endorsement at the highest level" of the work it had done.
UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said Mr Green had "doggedly applied statistics and hard evidence to the thorny questions surrounding migration into this country".
He added: "Without his clear work, the debate in this country would still be typified by attempts to blank out debate. The political class and the country at large owes him a debt of gratitude."
Sir Robert Rogers served in the historic role of Clerk to the House of Commons and chief executive of the House of Commons Service for three years before his retirement earlier this year, having worked in the House of Commons for four decades.
His retirement triggered a row over the scope and duties of the role with many MPs unhappy about the proposed choice of Australian Carole Mills to succeed him.
The recruitment process, overseen by Commons Speaker John Bercow, has now been paused, with MPs conducting an inquiry.
Sir Jonathan Evans retired as director general of the domestic Security Service, better known as MI5, last year after six years at the top of the organisation.
He joined MI5 as a 22 year old in 1980 and had a key role in shaping the UK's counter-terrorism response to the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington.

The majority of non-political nominations for life peerages are made by the House of Lords Appointment Commission, although a handful of crossbench nominations are recommended directly for approval by The Queen by the prime minister.
In a statement, Mr Cameron said he was "extending the criteria for these recommendations to ensure they can properly encompass a range of individuals with a proven track record of public service, not solely public servants on retirement".
The four nominations will still be vetted by the Commission but without the power of veto.
The elderly pair, who have not been formally identified, were killed after their car came off the road and fell into Hooe Lake in Plymouth on Thursday.
About 60 people attended the service in Hooe near the spot where the crash happened.
The chairman of the residents association said the turnout showed the community's "solidarity to the family".
The death of the local man and woman was a "tragic loss", John Wheeler from the Mountbatten & Turnchapel Residents Association said.
"Terrible accident but it's not that anyone round here had not thought of it and said 'it's just an accident waiting happen'", he said.
Plymouth City Council has said it is looking into how safety can be improved at Hooe Lake after local residents called for some form of barrier to be erected to stop a similar incident happening again.
Margaret Mountford, chair of judges, said the final six were chosen after "a long and often passionate debate".
Cynthia Bond, Lisa McInerney and Hannah Rothschild are the debut writers, while Hanya Yanagihara and Elizabeth McKenzie complete the shortlist of six.
The winner of the award - formerly the Orange Prize - will be named on 8 June.
"Our choices reflect a really diverse mix of brilliant writing from new and established authors around the world," Ms Mountford said.
"We hope that everyone will find much to enjoy in them."
The shortlisted books are:
Enright, the first laureate for Irish fiction, was shortlisted in 2012 for The Forgotten Waltz. The Green Road was shortlisted for the 2015's Costa novel award.
Yanagihara's A Little Life was shortlisted for last year's Man Booker Prize.
Rothschild's The Improbability of Love is also shortlisted for this year's Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize.
But among the novels on the 20-strong longlist that didn't make the final cut were Kate Atkinson's Costa novel prize-winning A God in Ruins.
The Baileys shortlist was announced on Monday evening at London's Royal Festival Hall by novelist Kate Mosse, who co-founded the prize in 1996, and the winner will be announced at the same venue on 8 June.
"We are very proud of our shortlist, all of the books are written with passion," said author Elif Shafak, one of this year's judges.
"Everyone had an equal chance: debut writers and well established authors. There is an amazing diversity of styles, genres and subjects."
Asked about Kate Atkinson's non-appearance, she told the BBC: "We loved her work very much but the shortlist reflects the choices of all the judges in unison so inevitably the some very good titles do not make it from the longlist to the shortlist."
Shafak said the final six books shared universal themes such as family and dealing with "the traumas and beauties of the past".
The Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction is awarded for the best full-length novel of the year written by a woman and published in the UK.
The winner will receive a cheque for £30,000 and a limited edition bronze known as a Bessie.
Last year's winner was Ali Smith for How to be Both (2015).
Ruby by Cynthia Bond (Two Roads)
Ephram Jennings has never forgotten the beautiful girl with the long braids running through the woods of Liberty, a small town in Texas. For Ruby Bell, Liberty was a place of devastating violence from which she fled to seedy, glamorous 1950s New York.

The pair split after two years with new mother Mauresmo saying she could not devote enough time to the job.
She also described the Scot, 29, as "complex" and said his on-court behaviour was confusing.
But he said: "To say that is why we stopped working together is untrue. We have a good relationship."
The world number three began working with Frenchwoman Mauresmo in June 2014, winning seven titles - including his first two on clay - during their time together.
But the two-time Grand Slam champion has failed to add to his major wins at the 2012 US Open and 2013 Wimbledon.
On Tuesday he reached the second round of this year's French Open after needing five sets to beat Czech veteran Radek Stepanek.
Afterwards Murray clarified reports about the reasons behind his split with Mauresmo, which came after his Madrid Open final defeat by Novak Djokovic.
"I've supposedly been 'hitting back' at Amelie's comments, disagreeing with everything she said and that we had a really tough break-up. Simply it is not true," he said.
"When we sat down in Madrid, anyone who says it was heated is lying and was not there. It was far from heated.
"We spoke very calmly the whole time. To say the reason we stopped working together is because of my behaviour on the court is not true.
"When we were working together we discussed many things on the court and there were times when, like with all of my coaches, she said 'you need to concentrate on the match and stop directing your frustration at your box and being distracted from what's going on on the court'.
"But to say that is why we stopped working together is untrue."
Murray said ahead of the French Open he is not in a rush to replace Mauresmo, having added fellow Briton Jamie Delgado to his team in February.

Former Chelsea trainee Lalkovic, 23, started his first game since 1 March and scored as the promotion-chasing Saddlers beat Gillingham 2-1.
"I was very angry when I didn't start against Oldham," the Slovakian told BBC WM 95.6.
"I was ready and just wondering when it was going to happen, but it was a great goal and I should do more of this."
Lalkovic, who is in his second spell at The Banks's Stadium following a season-long loan two years ago, notched his eight goal of the campaign - and first since Boxing Day - at the Priestfield Stadium after seven successive appearances from the bench.
"In my (goal) celebration I was dusting myself off - I've been in the cage for the last five weeks," Lalkovic said.
"All the frustration came out of me. I think I've only played three bad games this season. I was always thinking 'why am I being dropped?'- I was top scorer from midfield.
"Talking to (professional development coach) John Ward really helps me when I'm in this kind of situation.
"People talk about my potential but I think I'm starting to show it now and there's still more to come from me in terms of goals and assists."
Walsall's win against the Gills moved them to within five points of Burton in the second automatic promotion place in League One ahead of Saturday's home game with Southend.
"If we don't win the Gillingham victory will be for nothing," Lalkovic added.
"We want to aim for automatic promotion - no-one really wants the play-offs - but it's out of our hands.
"We just need to keep doing what we're doing and if we can, I don't see why we can't do it."
Cpl Anne-Marie Ellement was bullied for two years after accusing two colleagues of rape. She took her life in 2011.
Her mother, Alexandra Barritt, said: "I don't want to feel like she's died in vain and she's wasted her life."
She now wants her daughter to feature on the posters, which the Army says it will consider when more are produced.
Cpl Ellement, from Bournemouth, endured two years of bullying and harassment by colleagues who accused her of being a liar.
She took her own life, aged 30, in October 2011 at Bulford Barracks in Wiltshire.
Ms Barritt said: "I hope that no-one else who reports sexual assault ever has to go through what she went through: calling her names, banging on her door, shouting out abuse."
Her mother secured a second inquest into her death in 2014, which found bullying was a factor in her suicide.
A court martial in April cleared former soldiers Jeremy Jones and Thomas Fulton of rape - which they had both denied - but they were told by the judge their behaviour was "disgraceful" and "extremely unpleasant".
The Army has now produced a series of posters featuring images of sexual assault, intimidation, inappropriate touching and bullying among soldiers.
"They're shocking images and I think anyone who's bullying and who looks at those photos might think, 'Is that me?' and what it would feel like to be the other person on the receiving end," added Ms Barritt.
Head of Army personal services, Brigadier John Donnelly, said: "I think the tragic death of Ann-Marie Ellement... has really made people far more aware of it and I think everyone is doing all that they possibly can to prevent a reoccurrence of it."
The posters all feature models dressed as soldiers but Cpl Ellement's mother wants her daughter on them.
"Not only would it be a tribute to her but it would hammer the message home to see a real person who's been through that on the posters."
Bellew, challenging for a world title for a third time, was floored by a left hand in the opening round.
However, Bellew rocked Makabu with a left hook and right uppercut before rendering him unconscious with a barrage of blows.
He becomes the 13th current British world champion.
"He broke my nose with that left hand," Bellew told BBC Radio 5 live on Monday.
"I'm talking through my nose now and it's smashed to bits, but I have a green and gold belt. If you had to take my nose off my face for that belt I'd take it."
In winning the belt, Bellew made fantasy real life, having fought for a world title at the home of his beloved Everton FC in the latest Rocky film.
An estimated 15,000 fans gathered for the first ever boxing show at Goodison and the atmosphere was fevered by the time Bellew walked to the ring, to the strains of the Z-Cars theme tune, the traditional Everton anthem.
Bellew had the better of the opening exchanges but found himself on the canvas at the end of the first round, Makabu having soaked up a flurry of blows before springing from the ropes and landing with a peach of a left hand.
The home fighter, 33, probably nicked an uneventful second before the fight was blown open in the third.
The Congolese southpaw had won 19 of his 20 previous pro fights, 18 of them by knockout, and clearly believed he would prevail in a war.
But having thrown caution to the wind and abandoned his defences, Bellew softened Makabu up with a succession of juddering right hands.
And when Makabu was rocked by a left-right combination and retreated to the ropes, Bellew hunted him down and finished the job with a lethal left hook.
There was genuine concern as Makabu lay unconscious on the canvas but he was revived after about a minute and lifted onto his stool.
Bellew, who now has 27 wins (17 KOs) and two defeats from 30 pro fights, had lost his two previous world title challenges at light-heavyweight.
Afterwards, Bellew called out Russia's WBA and IBF champion Denis Lebedev and former cruiserweight world champion David Haye. Haye, however, now campaigns at heavyweight and is highly unlikely to drop back down.
Bellew told Sky Sports: "I told you I am Everton. That's why I got up [after being knocked down in the first round]. Nothing was going to stop me tonight. I achieved the dream tonight, I am world champion, that's what I am.
"The last time I saw that [at Goodison Park] was in a Hollywood film. Michael Buffer was here tonight!
"It was a disaster of a training camp. Four weeks ago I had a detached rib, I had a messed up left hand.
"Two weeks ago I was in a hyperbaric chamber. But who cares?!"
On the undercard, European super-middleweight champion Callum Smith made it 20 wins from 20 pro fights with a sixth-round stoppage of game Argentine Cesar Reynoso.
Liverpool's Smith, who had Reynoso down three times, is the mandatory challenger for the WBC title. However, the 26-year-old might have to wait for a proposed world title unification match between James DeGale and Badou Jack before he gets his shot.
Sweden's Jack is the current WBC champion while Smith's compatriot DeGale owns the IBF belt.
Two more of the fighting Smith brothers were also in action. Former two-time super-middleweight world title challenger Paul beat Poland's Bartlomiej Grafka on points, while Stephen, who lost a challenge for the IBF super-featherweight title only last month, stopped Argentina's Daniel Brizuela in round seven.
Liverpool heavyweight David Price continued to rebuild his career with a second-round knockout of Vaclav Pejsar.
Former Olympic bronze medallist Price was knocked out twice by American Tony Thompson in 2013 and also by Germany's Erkan Teper last year. However, both Thompson and Teper subsequently failed drug tests.
In a joint statement, the companies said both management boards had reached a "conditional agreement".
FedEx has offered shareholders €8 per share, a 33% premium on TNT's closing share price on 2 April.
It comes two years after United Parcel Service (UPS) pulled out of a €5.2bn bid for the Dutch firm.
UPS pulled out of the deal following opposition from EU competition authorities, saying it saw "no realistic prospect" of approval for its bid from the European Commission.
Since then TNT has undertaken a restructuring programme, cutting costs, selling operations and investing heavily in its road network to hold on to customers in what has been a weak European market for business package deliveries.
FedEx and TNT Express expect the deal to be completed in the first half of next year and say they are confident any European competition concerns can be overcome this time.
The European regional headquarters of the combined companies will remain in the Netherlands, while FedEx has promised to maintain the TNT Express brand "for an appropriate period".
Tex Gunning, chief executive of TNT Express, said: "This offer comes at a time of important transformations within TNT Express and we were fully geared to executing our stand-alone strategy.
"But while we did not solicit an acquisition, we truly believe that FedEx's proposal, both from a financial and a non-financial view, is good news for all stakeholders."
However, the terms of the takeover allow for a competitor to make an offer within the next eight weeks and for the current deal to be terminated if that offer exceeds the existing proposal by 8%.
TNT warned in February that it expected adverse trading conditions to continue in its main western European markets this year, as it reported a €196m annual loss on revenues which fell 3.2% to €6.6bn.

Germany won 4-3 on penalties in Poland as England's Tammy Abraham and Nathan Redmond had spot-kicks saved.
The game finished 2-2 in normal time, with no further goals in extra time.
"We have practised and practised and practised penalties," Boothroyd told BBC Radio 5 live.
England's senior side have lost six of the seven penalty shootouts they have been involved in at major competitions.
Two of those defeats came in semi-finals against Germany - at the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship.
Earlier this summer, England's Under-17s lost 4-1 on penalties to Spain in the final of the European Championship.
Asked why England teams struggle with spot-kicks, Boothroyd said: "I have no idea. We've looked at good practice, bad practice, the speed penalties are taken at - we've gone through it all.
"In the end, their goalkeeper makes two good saves from guys that usually put them in with their eyes closed."
This has been a successful summer for England's youth teams, with the under-20s winning their age group's World Cup, the under-17s reaching the European final and a squad made up predominantly of under-18s players winning the Toulon Tournament.
"There's plenty to be optimistic about," said former Coventry boss Boothroyd.
"We've reached a semi-final, won the World Cup with the under-20s, the under-17s did ever so well getting to a final.
"English football is on the up but at the minute we're all a little bit gutted because we thought we could win this tournament.
"I'm sure there will be future senior players in this team."
Former England captain Terry Butcher on BBC Radio 5 live
What a heroic effort from all these England players. They matched Germany - the application and spirit has been magnificent throughout this competition.
Great guts and spirit - they've carried the badge and the jersey, and they've made everyone proud.
Salem was convicted earlier in the month for the March 1995 killing of builder Pradeep Jain, who was shot outside his Mumbai home in a property dispute.
Salem, who is also a prime suspect in the 1993 Mumbai bombings, was arrested in Portugal in 2002.
He was extradited to India in 2005 and has been in prison since then.
There are at least another 25 cases of murder, extortion and kidnapping registered against him and he is also accused of terrorising Bollywood film stars and producers.
Indian authorities say Abu Salem, an Indian Muslim, is a key associate of crime lord Dawood Ibrahim, who is believed to be the mastermind behind the 1993 bombings which killed more than 250 people.
Salem fled India after the bombings with his companion and former Bollywood actress Monica Bedi.
The couple were arrested on an Interpol warrant and Portugal agreed to extradite Salem and Bedi after assurances from India that they would not face the death sentence.
The 47-year-old gangster is lodged in Taloja Central Jail in Raigad district near Mumbai.
Judges and magistrates would be expected to consider such behaviour a "serious aggravating feature" when sentencing offenders aged 10 to 17.
Footage was sometimes used to embarrass, humiliate or blackmail victims, the Sentencing Council said.
The new guidance aims to reflect the harm caused, and to "stop reoffending".
It comes a month after two teenage girls were given life sentences for murdering 39-year-old Angela Wrightson in Hartlepool.
The girls, then aged 13 and 14, took photographs of the attack, and uploaded them to the social media application Snapchat.
Draft Sentencing Council guidelines on the "overarching principles" for how courts handle youth criminals list a number of potential "aggravating factors", which are to be consulted on.
They include "deliberate humiliation of victim, including but not limited to filming of the offence".
They also include "deliberately committing the offence before a group of peers with the intent of causing additional distress or circulating details / photos / videos etc of the offence on social media or within peer groups".
Such behaviour is also cited as a possible aggravating factor in new guidance for sentencing youths specifically for sexual offences, along with online grooming.
If adopted, it will be the first time the issue has been explicitly covered in guidelines for dealing with young offenders - although the body said they do not aim to make significant changes to sentence levels.
Sentencing Council chairman Lord Justice Treacy said young offenders should be sentenced "fairly and proportionately", with the primary aim of stopping them reoffending.
"These guidelines will help achieve this.
"No-one wants young people turning into hardened adult criminals and sentencing must play its part in fostering a sense of responsibility and helping them reintegrate rather than become alienated."
Sentencing guidelines must be followed, unless a judge or magistrate feels it is not in the interests of justice to do so.
Raffi Freedman-Gurspan started working as an outreach and recruitment director for presidential staff on Tuesday.
Her commitment to transgender rights reflects "the values of this administration," a senior White House official said.
It is President Barack Obama's latest move in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights.
"Raffi Freedman-Gurspan demonstrates the kind of leadership this administration champions," said Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president.
Ms Freedman-Gurspan previously worked as a policy adviser for the National Center for Transgender Equality (NTCE).
Her appointment to the White House has been hailed as an important step by key members of the LGBT community.
"Our government works best when it reflects the reality of who we are as Americans," said Aisha Moodie-Mills, the head of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Institute.
The Department of Defense is reviewing its ban on transgender men and women from serving in the military, and the White House has said it welcomes that move.
The result means Ireland have not won any of their last four Group D fixtures and they stay in fourth place, two points behind their Dublin opponents.
"We wanted to get ahead of Scotland and they will be delighted to go away with something on the board," said O'Neill.
"But there is still a distance to go and we have not given up on this."
O'Neill felt the Republic had dominated the first half and had been unlucky to see Shaun Maloney's shot deflecting in off skipper John O'Shea for the equaliser early in the second.
"We had been dominant and did not want half-time to come," added the Republic manager.
"Their goal was poor for us. The shot looked like it was going miles wide before hitting John O'Shea and going in.
"That put us on the back foot for about 10 minutes and Scotland had their best spell of the game.
"But we fought back well and piled on a little pressure and I felt we were going to win it in the end."
GB won the team of the year award and Andy Murray was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year on Sunday.
Murray has previously said that talking to the Lawn Tennis Association about the future of British tennis was "a waste of time".

But Smith said: "We've had really good discussions with everyone at the LTA recently to really take it up a gear."
He added: "On the court, we need to keep winning but off the court we have a great chance to do something."
LTA plans for 2016 include taking the Davis Cup trophy on tour and issuing 10,000 free junior tennis racquets.
Recruitment will start in January for a team of 1,000 coaches to deliver 10,0000 free junior tennis courses where free racquets will be offered.
Fifty different venues across Britain will have the chance to host the Davis Cup trophy in their local community, park or club, with some surprise visits from players.
"We want to try to inspire as many young people as possible to get into the sport, and more importantly stay in the sport," said Smith.
"Part of the legacy is training up as many grassroots coaches as possible to help them. That first interaction with a coach at school or the local club, I think all of us can help that story.
"We talk about showcasing our support. I think what we can do for our first round match against Japan in Birmingham in March is pretty amazing - the lead-up to the event, the event itself, and afterwards. It will be packed for that tie, and with Andy confirmed to play, it's going to give us a lot of momentum."
Murray, who went 11 games unbeaten in the winning 2015 run, is committed to playing in the first round of the title defence.
But Smith knows he may be without him should GB make July's quarter-finals, which are sandwiched between Wimbledon and the 28-year-old Scot's defence of his Olympic title.
"It's a huge challenge. The nature of the competition is it is determined by who plays for each nation in any given year," said Smith.
"It's very, very busy especially for the likes of Andy who is going to be featuring in the latter stages of the biggest tournaments, it's tough to fit it all in.
"We'll see how it goes because once you start in the competition, when these group of players get together, the bond stays pretty close. It's a great feeling.

"We've got a strong team, and in the years before had some very big wins, notably against the likes of Russia (in 2013) when Andy wasn't playing."
Smith said he was keen to avoid the mistakes of some previous Davis Cup winners that fielded a below-strength side in their first round match the following year, and faced a relegation tie after losing.
"The most important thing is we win that first round tie, which brings us into the quarter-finals again and it guarantees World Group status for the following year, which is very important as we try to build on what we have achieved," he added.
Gray wants to coach Scotland one day but is looking at other options.
"Scotland's got itself sorted out at the moment," said Gray, who worked under the Springboks' then-head coach Heyneke Meyer at the World Cup.
"All the coaches are in place. I think one more would muddy the waters slightly."
Gray, who helped South Africa reach the semi-finals, told BBC Scotland's Sportsound: "I'll make a decision into the new year what I'm going to do.
"I've got a big decision to make what I'm going to do next, but I'll definitely be coaching somewhere."
Gray joined the South African coaching staff in 2013 as breakdown coach, but with Meyer leaving, Gray is contemplating a future elsewhere.
"The head coach of South Africa resigned a couple of weeks ago," said Gray. "He decided not to put his name forward.
"They've obviously had a discussion about what I would like to do as well.
"I never really thought I'd stay longer than three years in South Africa.
"Going backwards and forwards, it's been quite a commitment, especially with my family still back in Scotland.
"There's two or three options on the table for me regarding clubs in England, France, there's also things in Japan going on.
"I just love coaching. I coach because I want to make players better and you want to remain in the game. That's the two key things."
Galashiels-born Gray has coached Scotland at youth level and admits he would like to be part of the international set-up at some point, but he says now is not the right time.
"One day you want to coach your own country - I'd like to think that might happen," he added.
"But, for me, I like to put myself into places that really challenge you, places where you're given no chance and you can come out and prove myself so I might continue to do that."
The image, posted online on Sunday, shows a heavily bearded Jumpei Yasuda holding a sign saying: "Please help me. This is my last chance."
Mr Yasuda is believed to have been seized by the jihadist group al-Nusra Front, allied to al-Qaeda, in July.
Japan's government said it was doing everything it could to help him.
Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida said on Monday: "We believe the photo is of Yasuda."
Cabinet Spokesman Yoshihide Suga said the government was "making use of a broad net of information and doing everything we can to respond".
In March, a video emerged of Mr Yasuda apparently accusing the Japanese government of ignoring him.
Last year, the so-called Islamic State (IS) in Syria beheaded Japanese war correspondent Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa, leading to accusations that Japan had not done enough to save them.
Japan's Kyodo news agency quoted an unnamed source claiming to be a mediator for the Nusra Front saying Mr Yasuda would be passed to IS if the government did not negotiate.
An opponent for the Belfast fighter has yet to be confirmed.
Conlan, 29, won the title in April after stopping holder Anthony Nelson in the eighth round in London
"The Commonwealth belt seems to propel fighters onto bigger things - it's another step on the road to a world title," said Conlan.
He added: "Everything is moving steadily in the right direction. Each fight is another step up the ladder and a box ticked on my journey towards a world title.
"I'm thrilled to be boxing back in Belfast. I grew up watching a local guy from my area called Eamonn Magee become Commonwealth champion and it's always been a title that has stood out for me.
"To be defending the Commonwealth title front of my home crowd will be a great experience and I know I'll have big numbers there watching me successfully defend it."
Conlan's younger brother Michael was controversially beaten in the Olympic Games bantamweight quarter-finals last month.
It was a long road to eventual stardom, during which she struggled to raise a family after a broken marriage.
She became best-known for her roles in The Vicar of Dibley and The Royle Family but her talents encompassed serious drama too.
And while she made something of a name playing slightly dotty old ladies, the real Liz Smith was far removed from these on-screen personas.
She was born Betty Gleadle in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, on 11 December 1921.
Her early life was not happy. Her mother died in childbirth when she was just two years old and her father abandoned her when he remarried.
"My father was a bit of a sod, really. He just went off with loads of women and then married one who said he had to cut off completely from his prior life and that meant me."
She started going to the local cinema with her grandfather when she was four and she quickly gained a fascination for acting.
By the age of nine, she was appearing in local dramatic productions, often playing the part of elderly ladies.
World War Two thwarted her plans and she joined the WRNS because, as she later told the BBC's Desert Island Discs, she loved the cut of the naval uniform.
She continued appearing in plays and entertainments while serving in the Royal Navy. She met her future husband Jack Thomas while she was stationed in India and the couple married at the end of the war.
Her grandmother had left her enough money to buy a house in London. Smith later remembered that she had picked it at random from a magazine and bought it without crossing the threshold.
But what had been an idyllic marriage failed shortly after the family moved to Epping Forest in Essex and she was left to bring up her two children alone.
With money tight, she worked in a number of jobs including delivering post and quality control in a plastic bag factory.
But her love for acting remained and she began buying the theatrical magazine, The Stage, and sending her photograph to casting agents.
Eventually she became part of a group studying method acting under a teacher who had come to the UK from America.
She performed at the Gate Theatre in west London and spent many years in repertory, as well as spells as an entertainer in Butlins holiday camps.
In 1970, she was selling toys in London's Regent Street when she got a call from the director Mike Leigh to play the downtrodden mother in his film Bleak Moments.
Leigh cast her again in Hard Labour, part of the BBC's Play for Today series, a role that allowed her to shine.
She received critical acclaim as the middle-aged housewife who endures a life of domestic drudgery, constantly at the beck and call of her demanding husband and daughter.
It was the breakthrough she had sought for years and, as she later recalled: "I never went back to grotty jobs again."
She was seldom off the screen over the next 20 years, with appearances in a number of TV programmes including Last of the Summer Wine, The Sweeney, The Duchess of Duke Street and The Gentle Touch.
She was cast as Madame Balls in the 1976 film The Pink Panther Strikes Again, but her scenes were left on the cutting-room floor. However, she did appear in the role six years later in The Curse of the Pink Panther.
In 1984 she received a Bafta for Best Supporting Actress when she played Maggie Smith's mother in the film A Private Function.
Two years later she appeared as Patricia Hodge's alcoholic mother in the BBC drama The Life and Loves Of A She Devil.
It was a part, she said, that she really enjoyed as it gave her the chance to wear more glamorous outfits than her usual roles required.
And she was able to dress up again for her next film appearance, this time in the role of Grace in Peter Greenaway's film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
She was still much in demand at the beginning of the 1990s, appearing in the sitcom 2point4 Children and in the series Lovejoy and Bottom.
In 1994 she became a household name with her portrayal of Letitia Cropley in the series The Vicar of Dibley.
The character was famous for her idiosyncratic recipes such as parsnip brownies and lard and fish paste pancakes, but was killed off in 1996.
Two years later Liz Smith starred as Nana in The Royle Family, a sitcom that ran for nearly four years. She took the part again in 2006 in a special edition in which Nana died.
Typically, she attributed her success to Caroline Aherne's scripts rather than her own talent.
"They were great roles," she later remembered. "I was so lucky that things did come my way then."
Unlike some actors, she watched recordings of her own performances looking for ways in which she could improve her acting.
She continued to appear in feature films, playing Grandma Georgina in Tim Burton's 2005 version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and she was the voice of Mrs Mulch in Wallace & Gromit -The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
In 2006 she published her autobiography Our Betty and moved into a retirement home in north London but continued acting.
She appeared in the BBC's Lark Rise to Candleford, finally announcing her retirement in 2008 at the age of 87.
It was a belief in her own talent that drove Liz Smith on when her life was at a low ebb. "All I wanted was a chance," she told the BBC. "It was wonderful when it did happen."
Jayden Stockley, on loan at Pompey earlier in the season, twice went close with early headers for the home side.
Portsmouth's Conor Chaplin opened the scoring when he capitalised on a mistake by Troy Brown and side-footed into the bottom corner from 18 yards.
Stockley hooked wide as City pushed for a leveller before Watkins did equalise after a one-two with Clinton Morrison.

The Presbyterian Church said that it intends to buy the former Four Seasons care home in Garvagh.
Plans are at an "advanced stage" and if they go ahead, would include the closure of Ard Cluan care home in Londonderry and York House in Portrush.
Nearly 40 residents and more than 60 staff would have to be relocated to Garvagh, almost 30 miles away.
The Presbyterian Church said the proposed new £1.5m residential home could open as early as 2017.
The council for social witness oversees the running of the Presbyterian Church's six residential care homes in Northern Ireland.
Group secretary Lindsay Conway said in a statement on Wednesday the move was down to changing legislation, increasing standards and what he called the "rising expectations of residents and families".
"The envisaged relocation to the new site, which is only 20 years old, would increase our ability to provide much needed residential care for older people in the north west region, including services for those with dementia.
"There is huge potential in Garvagh to create a wonderful, modern and welcoming home with a Christian ethos that will be fit for purpose for many years to come,"
Mr Conway told BBC Radio Foyle on Thursday that a final decision had not been taken.
"It's not a done deal because we haven't purchased the building yet, that hasn't been finalised," he said.
"All the ducks are in the right order but we will continue to negotiate and if there are other viable alternatives we will listen and we will engage."
Iris May Boyd who lives at Ard Cluan in Derry said she would be very disappointed if it closed.
"I just love it to bits here, it's a great place," said Ms Boyd "I'm not here very long, nearly a year and I love it and Its central for everybody.
"I haven't got any family, I've a brother in Scotland but he comes over whenever he can.
"Even when he doesn't come over there's people who come in and we have quizzes which is great and then we get taken out," she said.
Iris May celebrates her 87th birthday on Friday and hopes that she will still be there next year.
"The staff's all lovely. I'd be very disappointed if we had to leave and go away so far.
"I didn't realise what they were talking about, they were crying.
"I asked what are they crying for? but I realise now. A lot of people and relatives wouldn't be able to come," said Ms Boyd.
Brian Ferguson from the Unison union said they first became aware of the plans when contacted by the BBC on Wednesday.
"It came as a shock to ourselves.... we have great concerns in relation to the closure of those two homes and whether the staff can relocate to Garvagh care home.
"It's a considerable distance and is going to cause a considerable cost to our members in travel," he said.
"We'll be calling for an urgent meeting with the church in relation to discussing their plans for the residents and the members we represent."
Rev David Latimer has been the chair of Ard Cluan House committee for more than 25 years.
He said families of the residents were devastated by the news that the relocation is going to be in Garvagh, across country 30 miles".
"It's not a huge distance, but for Northern Ireland people it may as well be at the other end of the world," he said.

The US has Ally Bank, an internet-only bank focused on its smartphone interface.
China recently has launched an internet-only bank of its own, WeBank, led by gaming and social network group Tencent Holdings.
With British and US retail banks in low repute since the credit crunch, the field is ripe for nimble new entrants, unencumbered by physical branches, bad loans, and ageing infrastructure.
Meanwhile, many British banks continue to operate back-end systems in pounds, shillings, and pence.
And a botched 2012 attempt at an IT upgrade by the RBS group left 6.5 million people unable to make payments for up to three weeks.
Nudging open the teller's window for new competition: banking scandals, rate-fixing and payment protection insurance, and bankers' bonuses have played their role, too.
The bank of the internet is increasingly open.
And you no longer need to be a bank to offer a bank's services.
Former Google vice-president Douglas Merrill's ZestFinance uses similar maths to the search engine to offer a big-data approach to underwriting payday loans.
With banks still a bit frugal with lending, AvantCredit, a 2012 personal loans start-up active in the US and UK, uses machine learning and a host of big-data variables to identify worthy near-prime borrowers.
And Sheffield-based Ffrees offers current accounts without being a bank (but a 75p withdrawal fee).
Each company says it can provide one of retail banking's key services better than the banks themselves.
AvantCredit's chief executive, Al Goldstein, says his two co-founders were former interns of his, who attempted to get a loan at a physical bank branch.
"And the experience was so terrible. I thought, it doesn't need to be, and we had the ability to work something new."
He says his company's current models use nearly 500 individual variables to predict the propensity of an individual consumer to default.
"The key is to aggregate as much data as possible," he says, "the better our predictive modelling capability is, the cheaper price we can offer to an individual customer."
Alex Letts, Ffrees's chief executive, says "You won't find me saying banks are crooks - wrong; they have a problem, they can't make money."
By offering current accounts for free, he says, retail banks lose money on the vast majority of them.
"It's not a good model - 60-80% of the bank's customers are people out of whom the banks only make money by charging for their mistakes or helping them get into debt."
"This creates the foundation for a quite adversarial relationship," he adds, "and this all blew up in the miss-selling scandals."
It was the unprofitability of most personal banking, not payday lending, that caused the last banking crisis, he says - and it hasn't gone away.
The challenge, then, is "finding a way of being able to say to people, you have to pay for this stuff, man up, it can cost you up to £10 a month to run a current account, but won't cost you any more," as opposed to making profit by sleight of hand.
The answer, he says, is thinking of a current account as data.
"It's a spreadsheet, sitting on a mainframe somewhere - there is no pile of gold in a vault that is associated with you."
"What you need is something to provide a very slick spreadsheet manipulation technology, to give you an amazing experience, and help you manage this little pile of poo that is your money, that causes you so much stress in life, and get you to a better place."
If Mr Letts says retail banks' personal current accounts are unsustainable, ZestFinance's Mr Merrill argues the maths behind their loans are 60 years out of date.
In the 1950s, says the former Google vice president, the application of new maths - logistic regression - to credit bureau data, offered a standardised way of offering credit, and expanded the amount of available with mass social impact.
But logistic regression is hypersensitive to data that is missing or wrong.
As a result of data being slightly warped, he says, "people are given very low credit scores and being priced out of the credit market unfairly. I look at that problem, and it's a maths problem."
Google's indexing algorithms have learnt to be resilient against misspellings and missing words.
He says applying similar strategies to those he had used at Google to cope with erroneous or missing data permits his company to recognise good credit risks in the great swathe of those who aren't.
We have seen internet banks before.
In the first dot com boom, the web-only bank First-e launched in September 1999, operating from Ireland under a licence from a French bank.
It succumbed to the ensuing collapse of the internet bubble, while others were purchased by retail banks.
Atom Bank's chief innovations officer, Edward Twiddy, says they were limited by being 'just a browser experience', and those bought by banks received too small investment afterwards.
"I had a First-e account and it was good value, but it was just sort of what it was, a thing for holding cash in, and not particularly titillating," he says.
Mr Twiddy describes current internet banking as not having evolved very far since then, and "going through several layers of authentication, and that's where you are until you leave."
He says Atom is working on designing "more horizontal customer journeys", and says other banks have underinvested in their delivery mechanism.
"They spent 20 years doing quite nicely out of a model that ultimately proved to be not sustainable."
For new entrants like Atom seeking to become banks, manoeuvring through regulations and raising capital is difficult.
"It's a long burn," he says, with a lengthy pre-application engagement with banking regulators the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority.
"The regulator sets us homework to do, marks our homework, asks us to hand in our exercise book at the end, then goes away and says subject to these restrictions, we will authorise you," he adds.
"It hasn't been easy but it hasn't been hugely unpleasant."
In the US, internet-only Ally Bank's parent company Ally Financial failed the Federal Reserve's 2013 stress test thanks to concerns it lacked enough capital to weather an extreme economic downturn.
Ffree's Mr Letts says new ventures like Atom Bank remaining within the retail banking model is the "final sharpening of the pencil to make a point, after which you can't sharpen it any more". He predicts in five to ten years, half of current accounts will not be in the major retail banks.
"And major retail banks will be doing what they're brilliant at - providing infrastructure, managing mortgages, all that sort of stuff."
Yet fintech accelerators like Barclays's in East London and large new funds from Santander and HSBC shows that high street banks recognise the need to jettison legacy systems and learn from innovative start-ups.
So for there to be continued profit in big banking, there also will have to be a little small change. | In Durham, Atom Bank is poised to launch shortly as a bank with no branches, living solely on the internet. | 31,735,979 | 1,660 | 27 | false |
Ward's goal to make it 2-0 at Villa completed a remarkable 13 months for the Wales striker, who started the season on maternity leave.
Doncaster, who had already secured promotion to the top flight alongside the Royals, beat Millwall 4-0.
Reading's victory made it nine league wins from nine games in 2015.
For two minutes of the first half, Beth England's opening goal for Doncaster was enough to put the Belles ahead in the title race.
However, Harriet Scott's first-half strike for the Royals edged Kelly Chambers' side back in front.
Ward added a second to effectively seal the crown and Bianca Brown made it three before Alicia Robinson and Tash Baptiste hit back for Villa, while at the Keepmoat Stadium two further goals from Sue Smith and Hope Knight's effort to make it 4-0 were not enough to elevate the Belles above Reading.
Elsewhere, Everton's thrilling 5-3 win over Oxford United was enough to see the Toffees - relegated from WSL 1 last season - finish third ahead of Yeovil Town, who beat Durham 1-0 thanks to a late Corinne Yorston penalty.
Bottom side Watford held London Bees to a goalless draw in manager John Salomon's final match in charge.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it will "explore the legal options" before deciding whether to implement "a collective ban" on all Russian competitors for the global showpiece, which starts on 5 August.
In the meantime, the IOC says it plans to re-test all Russians who competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
This follows the findings of the McLaren report, which said urine samples of Russian competitors were manipulated across the "vast majority" of summer and winter Olympic sports from late 2011 to August 2015.
The IOC also said it will:
Calls for a blanket ban on Russia - from both the Olympics and Paralympics - followed the publication of the McLaren report on Monday.
IOC president Thomas Bach said the findings of the report were a "shocking and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and on the Olympic Games".
Wada president Sir Craig Reedie described the "scope and scale" of the findings as a "real horror story".
He said his organisation wanted the IOC to "decline entries, for Rio 2016, of all athletes" submitted by the Russian Olympic and Paralympic committees.
Mutko, meanwhile, has denied that the government directed the doping programme in Russia.
He also told the Interfax news agency he was hoping for a "reasonable" decision from the IOC on Russia's participation in Rio.
BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway:
"Is what Russia has done here so bad that it warrants a collective ban, as no Russian can be above suspicion and therefore no Russians should go to Rio? Or is it a case that individual sporting federations should decide for themselves if certain Russian athletes can go? It's a very complicated area.
"It looks, on the face of this statement, as though the IOC is edging towards a blanket ban. Russia want to be at the Olympics. It would be a national humiliation for them not to be. So they will fight on to try to make sure their athletes are there next month."
Commissioned by Wada, it looked into claims made by Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of Russia's national anti-doping laboratory.
He alleged he doped dozens of athletes, including at least 15 medallists, in the build-up to the Sochi Games.
He said this was the result of an elaborate plot with the Russian government, which exploited its host status to subvert the drug-testing programme.
Russia topped the table in Sochi, winning 33 medals, 13 of them gold.
Rodchenkov, now in hiding in the United States, also alleged he doped athletes before the 2012 Olympics in London, the 2013 World Athletics Championships in Moscow and the 2015 World Swimming Championships in Kazan.
It has already suspended a number of senior sports officials following the publication of the McLaren report.
Despite his denial of any state-sponsored doping programme, sports minister Mutko told the R-Sport news agency he had suspended anti-doping advisor Natalia Zhelanova as well as Irina Rodionova, deputy head of Russia's state-funded Sports Preparation Centre, and two other officials.
McLaren said Zhelanova and Rodionova had worked closely with Russian deputy sports minister Yury Nagornykh to cover up positive tests since 2011. Nagornykh has also been suspended.
Football's world governing body Fifa will look at claims in the report that Mutko was involved in covering up positive dope tests by footballers.
Mutko is a Fifa council member, the president of the 2018 Russia World Cup organising committee, president of the Russian Football Union and a member of Uefa's executive.
Russia's track and field athletes are already barred from competing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio as a result of doping violations.
The International Association of Athletics Federations, the body that governs world athletics, voted in June to maintain a global competition ban on the All-Russia Athletic Federation (Araf).
Araf hopes to overturn the suspension and will find out by Thursday if its appeal to Cas has been successful.
He is the Canadian law professor who led the independent commission that looked into allegations of state-sponsored doping in Russia.
He said his investigative team had found 580 positive tests were covered up across 30 different sports in the build-up to the 2012 Olympics in London and during the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Russian city of Sochi.
McLaren added he had "only skimmed the surface" in his 57-day investigation.
Now the IOC and Wada want him to "complete his mandate" by identifying athletes who benefited from the doping programme.

Toni Minichiello, coach of British Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, told BBC Radio 4 there was "no need to ban a nation".
"Who are the real victims here?" he said. "The real victims are athletes that missed out on medals.
"Let's ban these hundreds of athletes, re-test them all and not allow them to go to Rio or any future Olympics. That decimates a Russian team anyway.
"There needs to be a huge investment in anti-doping at major championships to make sure things don't happen again."
In a statement, her family said it had been "emotional week" after a farmer found what he suspected to be a grave close to where she disappeared in 1994.
They thanked him for contacting police, even though her remains were not found.
Arlene, who was 15 and from Castlederg, County Tyrone, was last seen in a car with the child killer Robert Howard.
He was acquitted of her murder in 2005 by a jury not told about his conviction for killing another teenage girl in England.
At Belfast Coroners Court on Monday, a statement from a senior police officer investigating Arlene's murder was read to the inquest.
Det Ch Supt Raymond Murray said police first received a phone call last Tuesday from the current owner of an unoccupied property in Killen, County Tyrone.
The owner informed them that a farmer, Noel Doherty, had discovered what he believed to be a grave in what would have been the back garden of the property.
"The actual excavation of the site took place on Friday 16th September 2016 and the experts concluded no human remains were present", the statement read.
"However, when they were present at the scene they indicated another area close by where, at some point, soil may have been disturbed.
"The scene was then held for a further day and this, too, was excavated. It was discovered to be an old sceptic tank.
"Nothing suspicious was found at either of the excavation sites. There are no outstanding lines of inquiry generated as a result of the search operation."
The Arkinson family did not attend the hearing but in a statement read by their legal representative, they said it had been "a very emotional week" and they thanked police, the media and the community for their help and support.
"They particularly want to thank the farmer, Mr Doherty, for reporting his suspicions to the police," their solicitor said.
"The family have to remain hopeful and do so while being bitterly disappointed that Arlene's remains haven't been found yet."
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) believe Arlene, who has been missing for 22 years, was murdered.
Howard, who died in prison last year, remains their only suspect.
Howard was originally from County Laois in the Republic of Ireland and he picked up Arlene on 14 August 1994, after she attended a school disco in Bundoran, County Donegal.
Belfast Coroners Court was told on Monday that new legislation has now been passed in the Republic of Ireland that will enable An Garda Síochána (Irish police) to cooperate fully with the inquest.
The inquest was told that the coroner's legal representatives are to meet the Irish state solicitor in the next few days to identify what, if any, evidence Gardaí can contribute to the inquest.
The coroner said: "The elephant in the room is none of us knows what the Gardaí have concerning this and that is going to be question number one".
The inquest was adjourned until 7 October.
Bitcoin payments are already accepted in a handful of places but an industry expert says, if the States allow banks to accept and trade with it, Jersey could become a magnet for new business.
Robbie Andrews, of bit.coin.je, an industry body set up to promote and campaign for the currency, wants to create a "Bitcoin Isle".
Treasury Minister Senator Philip Ozouf said he wanted Jersey to be an early leader in the field.
There have been issues around the digital currency, including a lack of regulation and concerns over potential for money laundering and other illegal activity.
Bitcoin was founded in 2009 although nobody knows by whom, only that they took the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
Each Bitcoin, like other forms of crypto-currencies, is simply a long string of computer code protected by a personal key which provides both ownership and security.
All Bitcoins in circulation and their transactions histories are recorded in a giant ledger known as the blockchain. This prevents each Bitcoin from being spent twice.
No middleman is required to verify the transaction so they are quick, secure and cheap to use.
Are crypto-currencies the future of money?
In October 2013 the FBI shut down online marketplace Silk Road. The site traded in drugs and other illegal goods and took payments using "crypto-currencies" such as Bitcoin.
In December 2013, Fiona Le Poidevin, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance, said the current lack of regulation was an area of concern.
She said the Bitcoin concept had become "increasingly familiar, but it is still in its infancy and this brings with it both challenges and opportunities".
Senator Ozouf said: "[This] is a sector that could hold significant opportunities for Jersey.
"Our infrastructure of world-class financial services and digital expertise gives us the tools to be an early leader in the field. Innovation will be central to Jersey's future prosperity.
"We are keen to support local businesses by helping to create a well-regulated and responsive environment for investment in the sector."
Early in 2014 the Chinese government said Bitcoin was not a currency and banned financial institutions from dealing with Bitcoin exchanges.
BBC chief business correspondent, Linda Yueh, said: "It is clear that regulators around the world are unsure about what to make of Bitcoin and are still in the process of making up their mind if and how it and other crypto-currencies should be regulated."
Mr Andrews said Bitcoin was vital to the future of Jersey's economy and would be used globally.
"In the same way email changed how we send files globally, Bitcoin will change how we transact our lives. It is a network you can use for payment that is global and not managed by one industry body."
He said he would like to see more places accept payment in digital currency.
"My plan would be that you get the bus and pay using your phone. You get the paper, you pay with your phone. And at no point do you constantly give people your credit card details."
Tiffin tearoom on St Helier's waterfront already accepts Bitcoin. Owner Giles Day said: "It is fast, reliable and a very secure payment method. It is the way of the future. It is what the digital and finance industry will be using and those two industries are key to Jersey.
"With a credit card, we get charged and it takes a while to get the money. We get Bitcoins into our account straight away, without any charges."
Mr Andrews said the next step would be Bitcoin banking, meaning workers would get paid in Bitcoins.
"That would require new legislation and the States need to act quickly if they want to capitalise on it," he said.
"At the moment there is a big push for a digital industry in Jersey to grow and if you asked any technologist what is the one technology that fits between technology and finance, it would be a crypto-currency like Bitcoin."

The pieces, dating to the 14th Century, were removed from the Lincolnshire parish church, considered to be one of the finest in England, in 1946.
Heckington's St Andrews Church now needs to raise thousands of pounds to install the pieces in a new window.
Only 5% of all medieval stained glass survives today, according to experts.
The fragments are believed to be about 700 years old, dating back to when the church was founded by Richard de Potesgrave, a chaplain to Kings Edward II and Edward III.
Keith Barley discovered the fragments at his glass studio in York, where they had been stored 70 years ago after the west window of St Andrew's Church was replaced.
"This is a chronicle of the destruction of the period of the Reformation and Puritanism subsequently," he said.
"That makes these pieces such a remarkable survival."
Lesley Pinchbeck, from the church, said returning the fragments to the church will let visitors know "what a beautiful monument there is here".
But the project could cost thousands of pounds, she added.
Dr Jim Cheshire, art history lecturer at the University of Lincoln, said medieval fragments were very rare.
"We probably have about 5% of the stained glass we had in the Middle Ages," he said.
"But, to get fragments we know originally came from a parish church is really very valuable."

Thrips are a major agricultural pest around the world, and can damage whole fields of crops, literally sucking the life out of them. But introduce amblyseius cucumeris and you have a bloodbath and then no thrips.
For farmers who wanted to protect their fields from thrips - and the many other pests out there - the method developed in the 20th Century was to spray liberally with chemical pesticides.
But as authorities around the world have in recent decades increasingly clamped down on the usage of such products, this has led to the creation of a growing multi-million dollar global industry - biological pest control.
Biological pest control is the means of controlling pests using other living organisms - breeding ladybirds to eat aphids, for example.
While it may come as a surprise to some, the East African nation of Kenya is at the forefront of the sector.
The country is helping to lead biological pest control development due to the importance of agricultural exports for the Kenyan economy.
In 2013, Kenya exported $355m (£250m) of agricultural products to the European Union (EU), from fruit and vegetables to fresh flowers, grown by hundreds of farmers.
And as the EU has over the years increasingly banned or limited the use of chemical pesticides, Kenya's farmers have had to follow suit to continue selling their produce in Europe.
As a result, Kenya has increasingly turned to biological pest control to ensure that its agricultural exports to Europe are still in the best possible condition, be they green beans or bunches of roses.
Henry Wainwright and his wife Louise, both agricultural scientists, set up their biological pest control business, Real IPM (Integrated Pest Management), seven years ago.
Both are British citizens who had moved to Kenya to work for another such business called Dudutech, before starting up their own company in 2009.
They now sell, breed or grow seven different bio-control agents, ranging from the aforementioned amblyseius cucumeris to Real Metarhizium anisopliae 69, a fungus that kills insects, including types of flies and beetles, and Real Bacillus subtilis, a bacterium that attacks mildew.
Mr Wainwright says that while Real IPM's products are far more environmentally friendly than chemical treatments, farmers have to be more patient before they see the benefits.
"Unlike chemicals, where you see the results soon after spraying, bio agents works over a longer time," he says. We're talking weeks rather than days.
Real IPM, based 50 miles north east of Kenyan capital Nairobi, now employs 230 people, including 30 university graduates.
Some 75% of its sales are in its home market, with the remainder exported to Ethiopia, Tanzania, Ghana and the UK.
Real IPM staff train Kenyan farmers on how to use the products, and the company has a research partnership with the Nairobi-based International Centre for Insect Physiology, and UK-based business Syngenta Bioline.
Mr Wainwright, 64, says: "We decided to do this business in Kenya due to, among other things, the tropical, warm climate; availability of the right personnel; and a good work ethic that seems to thrive here.
"As awareness grows we are likely to see many more farmers, including small holder growers who greatly contribute to Kenya's fruit and vegetable exports, embrace IPM in pest and disease control."
At Dudutech, which is Real IPM's larger competitor, 13 different bio-control agents are now produced, and it spends $1m a year on research. Typically it takes three years before a new bio-control agent receives regulatory approval.
The company was set up in Kenya in 2007 by Dick Evans, a businessman of British origin who then owned one of the country's largest flower and vegetable growing businesses. In the Swahili language "dudu" means insect.
Dudutech is today a subsidiary of Kenyan agricultural business Flamingo Flowers, which in turn is owned by US investment firm Sun Capital Partners.
Tom Mason, Dudutech's managing director, says the business now employs 340 people, all Kenyans, and including 40 scientists.
The company also had partnerships with UK agricultural research organisation Rothamsted Research, Greenwich University in London, and the University of Virginia.
Mr Mason adds: "That aside, we do not buy production technologies from outside, we do our own research, and all the agents we produce are sourced locally."
However, all this research costs money, and bio-control agents are typically twice the price of chemical pesticides.
In Kenya, this means it costs between $200 and $400 to treat one acre of crops using biological pest control, compared to between $100 and $200 using chemical spray.
Back at Real IPM, Mr Wainwright says the increased cost is well worth it if it means you can export your roses, for example, to the UK.
But wherever a farmer sells his roses, Mr Wainwright says that no man should want to give pesticide covered roses to his girlfriend.
And it's because of this Dick Costolo is stepping down. The 51-year-old announced he'll no longer be Twitter's chief executive as of next month.
He achieved a lot in his five-year tenure - Twitter, now a public company, has established itself in various countries around the world. It's far more stable than it used to be. And it's still the best place for breaking news online (when it's true, that is).
The problem Costolo couldn't solve was how to attract new users. Or, at least, enough new users to keep growth-hungry Wall Street investors happy.
And of the people that did sign up, analysts say they weren't being given enough reasons to stick around for very long.
Remarkably, some don't even bother tweeting at all - one report last year suggested as many as 44% of Twitter's users had never posted a single message.
Meanwhile, rivals like Facebook were racing away - growing healthily, and acquiring companies that kept things fresh.
Just today we were given a glimpse at the consumer version of Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset bought by Facebook for $2bn last year - an investment in the future of how we communicate, and in a different league of ambition when compared to anything in Twitter's plans.
Admittedly, Twitter is a much smaller company which is focusing on its core product. But even here it is being outmanoeuvred by the likes of ephemeral image-sharing network Snapchat - a social network that rose to fame as a way to send naughty pictures to loved ones, but has now established itself as a thriving place to communicate - especially among young people.
All this adds up to a worrying outlook for a company that is relying on advertising to provide its revenue. Despite a massive push into offering promoted tweets, it's just not attracting anywhere near the kind of spend it needs to turn its balance sheet around.
According to eMarketer, Facebook commands a 7.93% share of the $145bn worldwide digital advertising market. Google, the runaway leader, has 31.42%.
Twitter: just 0.87%.
Part of the reason is that attention span problem - people just aren't looking at the site often enough.
Twitter used to measure this using its "timeline view" metric, a gauge of how often a user visits Twitter and refreshes their timeline.
It made for miserable reading. Like overall user numbers, the average timeline views were not increasing enough. In its latest earnings report, Twitter didn't even include timeline views at all, saying it wasn't a trustworthy way to judge engagement.
These issues wouldn't be so much a problem if Twitter was seen to be innovating its way out of the hole - but some of its investors had lost confidence in Costolo's steering of the ship.
One investor in the company, Chris Sacca, was concerned enough to outline his worries in an open letter, posted earlier this month, and running to a mighty 8,500 words.
"I believe in Twitter," he began.
"I am very bullish on Twitter's future and I can't imagine life without it."
But he went on to outline several issues he said needed to be solved:
The second one on that list is perhaps the most intriguing. What is it about Twitter, you may wonder, that is making people go as far as joining… but not using?
For those who have been on Twitter for years, the drip-drip of new features and users has been manageable, enjoyable even. But for a newcomer, it is perhaps an overwhelming, confusing place full of journalists shouting "BREAKING!!!" whenever someone so much as sneezes.
And after a year of headlines about trolling and bullying - not to mention the regular Twitterstorms that ignite the community in fury over issues most people will forget in a day - Twitter may not seem like an altogether fun place to be.
Or perhaps there's a more basic worry, writes Chris Sacca.
"Feeling obligated to post to Twitter creates so much anxiety that it actually keeps hundreds of millions of people from sticking around. The company hears it all the time, and I have no doubt that you have heard it from friends as well."
A committee has been set-up by Twitter, led by interim chief executive and founder Jack Dorsey, to work out who should take over long term.
Their biggest task was eloquently outlined (in a tweet, naturally) by Ray Sultan, who works for Buzzfeed.
"Requirement for next CEO: find a way to explain Twitter to actual human beings."

The Magpies are 19th in the Premier League after three straight defeats.
The club's board met on Monday to discuss the situation, with McClaren expected to take training on Tuesday.
"Someone has to be accountable and decisions must be made," said the statement from the NUFC Fans' Forum.
"What Newcastle fans want is a team of 11 players in black and white shirts that understand their role to perform to their maximum - week in, week out.
"We have entrusted the board of NUFC to ensure that the right personnel are in place to carry out this basic expectation."
Former England manager McClaren took over in the summer, but has only won six of his 28 top-flight matches in charge.
Spanish forward Ayoze Perez insisted on Monday that the players are still behind the 54-year-old - but the squad's effort has also been criticised in the supporters' statement.
"Whilst we have 10 games to go, fans cannot accept the current work ethic of the players," it added.
"Our players frequently look jaded and our playing style often appears outdated. We lack organisation and the players continue to lack discipline."

McClaren should be sacked as the club embark on a "rescue operation", according to former Newcastle owner Sir John Hall.
And ex-captain Alan Shearer, the Magpies' record goalscorer, says the club is "a mess from top to bottom".
The team were booed off the pitch following the defeat by Bournemouth - their third straight Premier League loss.
"Maybe it's time to accept that the 'head coach' role simply doesn't work at NUFC and accept that a manager is required, a person who will not only coach but motivate and manage," continued the NUFC Fans' Forum letter.
"We must urge you to review our position and initiate any changes that you see fit to correct the current attitude of the playing staff.
"It's time for action, it's time for accountability."

The supporters' statement also included a number of statistics to illustrate their team's failings under McClaren:
Williams lost 10-7 in the final qualifier after trailing 6-3 from the morning session and was one of five Welsh players to exit at Pond's Forge.
Williams' defeat means he misses out on a place at Sheffield's Crucible for the second time since his debut in 1997.
He also failed to qualify in 2014 when he was beaten by Alan McManus.
Jamie Jones lost 10-8 after leading overnight against Scotland's 2006 world champion Graeme Dott.
Both Michael White and Dominic Dale were also knocked out in the final qualifying stage, Dale losing 10-5 to Belgium's Luca Brecel and White was defeated 10-3 by Englishman Gary Wilson.
Newbridge's Lee Walker, who beat Reanne Evans in the second round, lost to Thailand's Noppon Saengkham 10-8 to complete a disastrous day for Welsh players.
Ryan Day will be the only Welshman at this year's World Championships. It will be the first time there has only been one Welsh player at the event since it was first held at the Crucible in 1977.
Oscar, a spaniel, once tipped the scales at 3st 6lb (21kg) - 80% above his ideal weight - due to too many Sunday dinners and leftovers.
But after walks left him out of breath, his Wolverhampton owner, June Lawrence, knew things had to change.
Now, after hydrotherapy sessions and a diet, Oscar is PDSA vets' slimmer of the year at a healthy 2st 1lb (13kg).
Mrs Lawrence's daughter, Karen Allen, said: "He is a completely different dog now - like a puppy again.
"People don't recognise him because he's changed so much, in looks and personality."
Mrs Lawrence admits she spoilt the 10-year-old following the death of her husband last year and, as she is disabled, was not able to give him enough exercise.
"As he piled on the pounds, he wanted to exercise even less and it became a vicious cycle," Ms Allen said.
"He couldn't even jump on the sofa, he was that big."
The family enrolled Oscar into a fitness and slimming club through the vets, who changed his lifestyle and introduced more exercise.
When he started in the pool, Oscar could barely manage 15 seconds without stopping but now he can swim around for 10 minutes, Ms Allen said.
PDSA vet nurse Kay Brough said Oscar had done "amazingly well" at Pet Fit Club and, thanks to his family sticking to his diet, he has "virtually halved in size".
Other successful slimmers include Tyty, a Chihuahua from Glasgow and Kaspa, a Labrador from Cardiff, who both lost 29% of their body weight.
Mikey the cat, from London, recorded a 17% loss.
There was no live TV coverage, but later video showed the vehicle leaving the pad at about 12:00 GMT.
The test flight carried a dummy payload and was not intended to reach an orbital altitude.
Angara is designed to give Russia full control over its space activities, reducing its reliance on technologies and facilities of former Soviet states.
These include the rocket components currently sourced from the Ukraine, and use of the famous Baikonur spaceport sited in Kazakhstan.
The maiden flight had been repeatedly delayed. In June, national TV had given the previous attempt extensive live coverage only then to see a technical glitch force yet another postponement.
Reporting of Wednesday's attempt was more muted, therefore.
Confirmation of a successful first flight came through the Russian military news agency Interfax-AVN.
It said that Defence Minister, Army General Sergey Shoygu, had reported the positive outcome to the supreme commander of the Russian Armed Forces, President Vladimir Putin.
And later in the day, it added that parts of the rocket had come back to Earth as expected: "An inseparable dimension and mass mock-up of the payload, together with the second-stage, has fallen in the designated area of the Kura range in Kamchatka peninsula at a distance of 5,700km from the launch site."
Russia's Deputy Prime Minister, Dmitry Rogozin, tweeted that the launch was a "winning start".
Like a number of the world's launchers, Angara is modular in concept.
It has a main core that burns kerosene and liquid oxygen. This "universal rocket module" can then be supplemented with additional boosters for extra power, and different designs of upper-stage to place satellites at their correct altitudes.
Wednesday's test version used the simplest configuration - the Angara-1. When this is in service, this will be expected to put up to four tonnes of payload into a low-Earth orbit - the kind of orbit used by Earth-imaging satellites.
Other variants are planned, including a heavy-lift version designated Angara-5.
This should be capable of putting up to 7.5 tonnes into the geostationary transfer orbits used by telecommunications spacecraft as they make their way up to 36,000km above the equator.
Russia wants to launch the Angara family both from Plesetsk and the Vostochny Cosmodrome, which is currently being constructed in the Amur Oblast, in the Russian far east.
The new rockets would allow the country to phase out a suite of older vehicles, including the heavy-lift Proton launcher. This has had a torrid reliability record of late.
The immediate plans are to use the Angara family for unmanned launches only, but manufacturer Khrunichev is developing a human-rated Angara-5 for launch from the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
Russia currently operates Soyuz rockets for manned flights from Baikonur.

Jawad Fairooz and Matar Matar were detained in May after resigning from parliament in protest at the handling of the protests.
Mr Matar told the BBC they had been tortured in prison.
They were prosecuted in a security court on charges of taking part in illegal protests and defaming the country.
It is not clear if they still face trial in a civilian court.
Civilian courts took over jurisdiction after King Hamad Bin Issa Al Khalifa lifted a state of emergency in June.
Mr Matar told the BBC he believed his arrest had been intended to put a pressure on his al-Wifaq party.
"At some stages we were tortured," he said. "In one of the cases we were beaten."
Human rights lawyer Mohamed al-Tajir was also released.
He was detained in April having defended people arrested during the Saudi-backed suppression of protests in March.
Correspondents say their release appears to be an attempt at defusing tensions in the country, a key US ally in the region that hosts the US Navy's 5th Fleet.
Bahrain's King Hamad Bin Issa Al Khalifa recently accepted a series of reforms drawn up by a government-backed committee created to address grievances that emerged during the protests.
The kingdom's Shia community makes up about 70% of the population but many say they are discriminated against by the minority Sunni monarchy.
The BBC looked into the music people search for on their phones.
Data was provided by Shazam, a company that helps its 100 million users to identify any song they hear by playing an excerpt into their phone.
Tech house group Format: B was most searched for in Aberdeen and R&B rap collective WSTRN in Glasgow.
Tropical house DJ Sigala was top choice in Inverness, Dundee and Edinburgh.
The BBC has used the data to discover musical "twin towns" - far-flung places with similar tastes in music.
Inverness and Aberdeen's "twin" was Queenstown in New Zealand, Dundee matched up with Dunedin also in New Zealand, and Glasgow and Edinburgh's listening choices were similar to Melbourne in Australia.
Smith, from Peterborough, was banned for two months by British Gymnastics after the video emerged on 7 October.
The 27-year-old apologised over the clip, in which he was seen laughing and imitating Islamic prayers.
But city councillor Mohammed Jamil said Smith's apology meant he had "done enough" to earn his forgiveness.
Mr Jamil, who is a Muslim, said he had wondered if it were appropriate that Smith should "represent such a diverse city of Peterborough" while considering the honour.
He said he also had several people contacting him who asked: "Are you really sure about this?"
But he said his view changed after Smith instantly apologised, missed the Olympic celebrations in order to visit mosques and spoke on Islam Radio in Peterborough.
Labour councillor Mr Jamil said: "Part of our religion is to forgive. He had done enough to earn my forgiveness."
A panel of Peterborough leaders unanimously voted to give Smith and two Paralympians, James Fox and wheelchair basketball star Lee Manning, the honour.
In a Tweet, Smith said he was "humbled and honoured".
A city council spokeswoman said: "Each of the nominations were unanimously approved by councillors, and each will now be officially awarded in a ceremony in the new year."
In October, Dr Omer El-Hamdoon, deputy secretary general of the Muslim Council of Great Britain, praised British Gymnastics for taking action against Smith, and fellow gymnast Luke Carson, who was also featured in the leaked film.
He said: "We hope they reflect upon their actions and realise the need for people to follow their faith with dignity."
The Upper Lough currently stands at 14 centimetres below the pre-Christmas peak.
A number of roads in the county remain closed following the recent flooding.
Water levels at Lough Neagh recently reached a 30-year-high after heavy rain from storms Desmond, Eva and Frank.
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 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".
On Thursday, Ms O'Neill held an urgent meeting with the environment and regional development ministers to discuss the response to the recent flooding.
Road closures in Northern Ireland
The Liberal Democrats released the results of a survey which it said suggested many Scottish GPs would not repeat their career choice.
And Scottish Labour claimed funding for medical students had been cut since the SNP came to power.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said Scotland had more GPs and medical students per head than England.
She said the Scottish government "greatly valued the contribution made by GPs" and pointed out that the number of GPs employed in Scotland had risen to record levels under the SNP.
And she said Labour's figures on medical student funding "fail to take account of a number of complex changes" to the system, and that funding for general medical services had increased by 10%.
The Lib Dems said they had sent a questionnaire to 986 GP practices. It had been completed by 389 GPs at 352 of these practices - equivalent to about a twelfth of the workforce.
In the survey, the doctors were asked whether they would choose to be a GP if they had their time again.
Of those who responded, 42% said they would, while 33% said they would not and a further 25% said they did not know.
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie claimed the results suggested that GPs were "all too often taken for granted by the Scottish government".
He said the full results of the survey would be released next week, and added: "The Royal College of GPs have warned that Scotland will be 740 GPs short by 2020. My survey will show how this shortfall is already having a real impact on local doctors."
Meanwhile, Labour MSP and former GP Dr Richard Simpson said his research indicated that funding for medical students had fallen by 5% over the past six years.
Dr Simpson said that 900 medical students received funding in 2008/09 but the number decreased to 848 students in 2014/15.
He accused the Scottish government of being "negligent" as the country "heads towards a GP recruitment crisis".
Dr Simpson said: "Instead of investing in the future of our NHS the Scottish government is making existing problems even worse."
Responding to the attacks, Ms Robison said: "Record funding for general practice of £768m has brought GP numbers to nearly 5,000, 7% more GPs under this Scottish government - the highest ever - and there are more GPs per head of population in Scotland than in England.
"Scotland has more medical students per head of population than the rest of the UK and we are carefully considering the future workforce requirements, focusing especially on widening access to medical school for applicants from more diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds.
Many small-scale farmers are unable to buy their own and often have to rent them at high rates.
Now, vehicle-maker Mahindra and Mahindra has launched an app called Trringo offering hourly rental for between 400 and 700 rupees ($6; £5).
The service will also be available via a call centre - important as much of rural India does not have net access.
The service has been so far been rolled out in the state of Karnataka and will be available in others, including Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, soon.
Requested tractors and a driver will be sent to farmers via 20 hubs across Karnataka.
Speaking about the app to the New York Times, chief executive Rajesh Jejurikar said the current hiring model took "a toll on the self-esteem of the farmer", adding many felt they had "to beg for it".
The company is considering offering other farm machinery for hire in a similar way.
The hosts started brighter, but Neil Etheridge saved a Luke Norris penalty after Paul Downing's handball.
That spurred the Saddlers on and Milan Lalkovic picked up a loose ball to curl the ball in and break the deadlock.
With the Gills pressing, Walsall broke, Jordy Hiwula slotting in after Romaine Sawyers' composed pass, and Norris's bicycle kick was only a consolation.
Gillingham, who have now failed to win any of their last nine matches against Walsall, drop down to sixth place.
The Saddlers were playing their third straight away game in 11 days, having lost the previous two, to Sheffield United and Oldham. But, having won the first of their two catch-up games caused by Easter postponements due to international calls, they are now five points behind second-placed Burton Albion.
They have now won four of their six matches since Jon Whitney became interim boss following last month's sacking of Sean O'Driscoll.
Walsall boss Jon Whitney told BBC WM:
"It was a huge game and we approached it with belief. I have sensed people doubting us and I hope those people now realise what we are about.
"That was an outstanding performance from my boys. I don't think Gillingham could live with us. We passed them off the park, ran them off the park and the most pleasing thing for me is that we were more physical than them.
"I said from the start that it's going to be an up and down season. It is going to go right to the wire. The Burton players will be having their tea and biscuits but they won't taste as nice because we're hunting them down."
Liverpool are still scoring lots of goals, have won 11 games in a row, and are seven points away from guaranteeing their first title in 24 years.
With the finish line in sight, Blues boss Jose Mourinho would usually be the last manager you would want to come up against.
Mourinho did a job on Manchester City in February, winning 1-0 when they were the team in form, but there are a few reasons why that is a lot less likely to happen again at Anfield.
This does not feel like the title showdown it was shaping up to be because even a Chelsea win will not put things back in their own hands. Mourinho has already said that next week's Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid is his priority. I can understand why.
Another reason this game could not have come at a better time for Liverpool is that Chelsea have injuries and suspensions in key areas. As we have found out over the last few weeks, the Reds have the attacking players to punish any kind of defensive weakness.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers called Raheem Sterling the best young player in Europe after his performance in their win over Norwich last week. The way he is playing right now, you have to believe him.
It is clear Sterling has been improving all season but, against the Canaries, he showed the different sides he now has to his game.
There was his finishing, with a 25-yard strike for Liverpool's first goal; then his sensational pass to set up Luis Suarez for their second and. Finally, there is his running with the ball that saw him get the third.
I have already talked about how Rodgers's flexible formations have put them on top of the table and Sterling's own versatility plays a huge part in making them as effective as they are. Teams do not know where he is playing, or how to stop him.
In the last few weeks, Sterling has been used out wide when needed - notably against Tottenham where he played mainly on the right but sometimes switched wings with Suarez - in a 4-3-3 formation.
But his best performances have come when he has played through the middle, using the space between the opposition midfield and defence, and looking to run in behind their back line.
Against Manchester United and Manchester City he played at the tip of a midfield diamond behind Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge while, against Norwich, he was alongside Philippe Coutinho and playing off Suarez in what started as 4-3-2-1. He has been brilliant in all of those matches.
At the start of the season I thought of Sterling as a winger and did not see him playing in that 'number 10' position at all.
The player he has become shows what hard work on the training ground can do.
You have to give Rodgers massive credit for developing his game in the way he has, and also to Sterling for his dedication to improve himself.
From a shaky start under Rodgers, who gave him a dressing down in front of the TV cameras in a documentary that was being made about the club in the summer of 2012, Sterling has worked hard, shown great character and come back to prove himself.
He was not a regular at the start of the season but has kicked on so much since coming back into the team at the start of December that he has to be one of the first names on the teamsheet now.
Sterling is only 19 but has emerged as a key player, as important to Liverpool's title bid as Suarez, Sturridge or Steven Gerrard.
Like those three, he has different dimensions to his game. He offers a different threat to Suarez and Sturridge and has hit form at exactly the right time to freshen up the Liverpool attack for the run-in to the end of the season.
Sterling's pace is phenomenal but the reason he is such a dangerous player through the middle is not simply because he is fast.
It comes down to the timing of his runs from deeper positions - like the one he made when he scored against Manchester City - and the different angles at which he comes in.
There is an end product now too. The way he manipulates the ball is fantastic and his finishing seems to get better and better.
I remember him missing a great chance when Liverpool lost at Etihad Stadium in December, when he skied the ball with only Joe Hart to beat, but he has looked cool in front of goal recently.
Sterling has found the net six times in Liverpool's 11-game winning run - and at some crucial times in those matches: the opening goals against City and Norwich for example.
His performances in the big games for Liverpool have been so good that it is not enough for him to just be part of Roy Hodgson's squad for this summer's World Cup - he has to be a starter for England in Brazil.
Sterling played on the right wing in a 4-3-3 formation when Chelsea beat Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on 29 December, but the Reds had Gerrard and Sturridge out injured that day and they look a different team now.
If Sturridge is fit, I would expect Rodgers to go with the same system and shape that saw his team beat Manchester City at Anfield, only using Joe Allen or Lucas Leiva instead of the suspended Jordan Henderson.
That would keep Sterling at the tip of their midfield diamond, in the position where he has been so wonderful recently, and his movement will create lots of problems for Chelsea.
The Blues' back four has been brilliant all season with John Terry and Gary Cahill, but they will be without Terry for their biggest test of the campaign. As usual, Liverpool will go for them right from the start.
David Luiz and Branislav Ivanovic have both played at centre-back before, but having an unfamiliar face alongside Cahill will not help them as a unit, and neither will Petr Cech's injury or Ramires' suspension.
On top of those absences, it is the timing of this game that will help Liverpool the most. It could not have fallen better for them than between the two legs of Chelsea's Champions League semi-final.
Mourinho knows he has a much better chance of reaching the Champions League final than he does of winning the Premier League title. Europe is his priority, and that will surely influence his selection for positions in which he still has a choice.
No Mourinho team is ever easy to break down, but where Chelsea are more likely to be weaker is when they go forward.
Like Sterling, Eden Hazard has had a brilliant season, and has made a dramatic improvement most of his attacking statistics compared to the 2012-13 campaign. Just as Rodgers deserves credit for Sterling's progress, Mourinho is clearly able to get the best out of the Belgian.
Hazard was superb against the Reds in December and, if he plays, he could easily be the difference between the two teams again on Sunday.
But Hazard is on his way back from a calf injury and, if he is going to be fit soon, surely Mourinho will want him be fit for Wednesday instead of this weekend?
In an ideal world, I am sure Mourinho would go to Anfield planning a repeat of the masterclass in counter-attacking that saw Chelsea beat Manchester City at Etihad Stadium.
But, without Hazard, Chelsea will be far less of a threat on the break. He is not just their top scorer, he has made more assists, creating more chances than any other Blues player.
This time, instead of thinking about winning, Mourinho might have to try to kill the game in the same way he did when picking up a point at Manchester United and Arsenal this season.
But my feeling is that Mourinho's tactics will be less relevant this time because his line-up will not be strong enough to carry out his game-plan. Besides, a draw would not help Chelsea much.
I see Liverpool winning again, to move one step closer to the title. And, if Mourinho cannot stop them, it is hard to see anybody else doing it now.
Everything has fallen nicely for Liverpool this weekend with Chelsea's circumstances, but the season is over 38 games, not just this one match.
Liverpool have been the best attacking team in the Premier League, have scored the most goals, and been a joy to watch. If the Reds do go on to become champions, they will fully deserve their success.
Robbie Savage was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan
He angered Pakistan when he suggested it was promoting the export of terror.
At the weekend, a Pakistani intelligence chief cancelled a UK trip, and President Asif Ali Zardari has been under pressure to cancel a visit to Britain on Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for Mr Cameron said he "stands by his comments".
During his trip to Pakistan's regional rival India last week, Mr Cameron said: "We should be very, very clear with Pakistan that we want to see a strong, stable and democratic Pakistan.
"We cannot tolerate in any sense the idea that this country is allowed to look both ways and is able, in any way, to promote the export of terror, whether to India or whether to Afghanistan or anywhere else in the world."
In the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Monday morning, Britain's high commissioner Adam Thomson answered a summons from Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
By M Ilyas KhanBBC News, Islamabad
The manner of Pakistan's summoning of the British high commissioner indicates Pakistan feels seriously offended by the British PM's recent remarks.
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi chose to see the British diplomat personally, instead of leaving the matter to the foreign secretary, as is the norm.
The chief of Pakistan's ISI intelligence service, Lt Gen Shuja Pasha, has already cancelled his scheduled visit to the UK.
And there is mounting pressure on President Asif Ali Zardari to do the same; he has refused to reschedule his European tour.
But the souring in relations can only be short-term: the UK is Pakistan's second largest trading partner and collaboration between the two countries on intelligence and military issues is widespread. There is no indication that any of this is being scaled back.
The Pakistani government's reaction to Mr Cameron's remarks is mainly designed to defuse pressure from the opposition parties and possibly the military.
The UK Foreign Office said in a statement afterwards: "The high commissioner and Foreign Minister Qureshi discussed a broad range of bilateral issues, including President Zardari's upcoming visit to the UK."
The Pakistani leader has a five-day UK visit planned, including potentially fraught talks with Mr Cameron on Friday.
After holding talks in Paris on Monday with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Mr Zardari said France saw Pakistan as a "reliable partner in the world".
Speaking at the Elysee Palace, he said President Sarkozy would visit Pakistan later this year.
Pakistani Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira has said Mr Zardari will seek to correct Mr Cameron's "misperception" during his UK visit.
Mr Cameron's spokeswoman said he had acknowledged Pakistan was taking action against extremism and insisted his comments last week had referred to elements within Pakistan supporting terrorism, not to the Pakistani government.
Asked about the burning of an effigy of the prime minister in Karachi, she said: "People have a right to protest."
Mr Kaira told the BBC the Pakistani government had reacted properly, and that Pakistan had been "hurt" by the comments as the country was a victim of terror as well as a key fighter against it.
"But the president and our government feels we should interact with the British government and we should explain and discuss, and put the proper and right perspective in front of the British government and British prime minister so that any misperception or misconception should be over," he said.
The diplomatic fallout from the comments led Pakistan's spy agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), on Saturday to cancel a visit to Britain to discuss counter-terrorism with UK security services.
Mr Cameron's remarks followed the leaking of US documents on the Wikileaks website in which the ISI was accused of secretly helping the Afghan insurgency.
According to the classified files, Pakistani agents and Taliban met to organise the fight against US soldiers in Afghanistan and plotted to assassinate Afghan leaders.
But Islamabad says it is as much a victim of terrorism as any other country - home-grown Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked bombers have killed more than 3,500 people in a three-year campaign.
Pakistan's military won plaudits from the international community last year when it launched major operations against the militants in South Waziristan and the Swat valley on the Afghan border.
The "cream of the crop" of British endurance mountain biking are taking part in the event over a gruelling 75km course around the Scottish Borders.
"The standard is high," says event organiser Paul McGreal.
Although the race proper starts on a forest trail on Bowhill estate, there is a "grand depart" from Selkirk town centre.
Mr McGreal told BBC Scotland: "We work closely with Chamber of Trade and other organisations within Selkirk and they are incredibly receptive and supportive.
"In the centre of Selkirk there are displays in shop windows, bikes that have painted and chained to railings, there is all sorts cycling-related stuff that has been done completely off their own back by the businesses in the town."
Cais said the focus was on the older generation who had been long-time drinkers.
The charity's chief executive Clive Wolfendale added the next task was to stop younger people turning to alcohol.
He pointed to positive signs on that front but said teenagers were experimenting with newer substances like "legal highs".
"The alcohol problem is going to be with us for the next decade," said Mr Wolfendale, who is a former acting chief constable of North Wales Police.
"We can't give up on people who have got themselves in a mess and we'll certainly treat them. We've got to stop the next generation from becoming fixated with the stuff.
"If you look at drinking patterns among teenagers, it's reducing and that's to be welcomed.
"That's down to lifestyle education and skills and a new awareness of fitness and keeping well but I think young people will be experimenting with newer substances.
While north Wales-based Cais has seen the balance shift towards dealing with more alcohol cases than drugs over the last few years, Mr Wolfendale believes "legal highs" are the main problem going forward.
Earlier this year, his charity, along with Sands Cymru in south Wales, opposed UK government plans for a blanket ban on the drugs.
They argued the Psychoactive Substances Bill would only drive the drugs underground.
Mr Wolfendale said dealing with "legal highs" would be the "biggest challenging area" going into 2016.
"It's a huge problem that is present across the board. These things come on to the streets at alarming speeds and can be a significant problem.
"Over the next few years, the impact will really hit home."
More than 5,000 people complained about the programme, which imagined a future where Nigel Farage won the upcoming general election.
Ofcom said it might be in breach of rules on "offensive material, misleadingness and due impartiality".
"We are also considering fairness and privacy complaints," it said.
The programme mixed real news footage with fictional scenes, focusing on the career of Deepa Kaur, a newly-elected UKIP MP for Romford, played by Priyanga Burford.
It also depicted rioting on the streets in the wake of the UKIP election victory, mass, forced deportations and the establishment of a new "National Pride day".
The show was broadcast outside the election period, meaning Channel 4 did not have provide balancing views from other parties.
A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: "We are confident that the programme did not breach the Ofcom code and we will be providing a response to the investigation."
It had previously said "a lot of research" went into the film and that Mr Farage had been invited to watch it before the broadcast and then to do an interview afterwards but declined.
The UKIP leader tweeted after the drama went out that it was "a biased partisan depiction" of his party.
Critics were unkind, too. The Telegraph called it "fatally flawed", saying it stereotyped UKIP supporters as "an army of bald-headed, beer-swilling thugs".
The Guardian agreed that the drama "lacked nuance", adding: "It won't aid UKIP's cause in the run up to the election, but it probably won't make much of a dent in it either."
Higher domestic demand and manufacturing activity fuelled the pace, taking the rate of growth above that of China.
India's central bank is meeting to set the level of interest rates on Tuesday.
Last month it cut rates by half a percentage point to 6.75%.
India's economy has benefitted from a fall in commodity prices, which have made imports of heavily bought-in goods such as fuel and gold less expensive.
India's growth has recently been outpacing China, which is growing at a rate of 6.9% according to the latest figures.
But although headline growth appears buoyant in India, the way the statistics are compiled has changed recently, making comparisons difficult.
In parts of the country a drought has damaged agricultural output and farm wages for the second year running.
The numbers released today come as good news for India's government, which has been facing criticism for not delivering on their promise of economic reform so far, and has politically been on the back foot after a heavy defeat in a recent state election.
The data shows India continues to be the fastest growing major economy in the world. But while growth of more than 7% would be a dream for most countries, India needs to grow even faster if it is to create jobs for its large population.
For that, it needs big investments. And for those to come, the country needs to create a business friendly environment.
This week will be an important test for the government as it hopes to push a key tax bill through parliament, which will cut the multiple layers of taxation business owners here face, and introduce one single tax across the country.
If passed, it will be a landmark moment and will be the first major reform by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government since it came to power in 2014.

Six months later, on 16 January 2016, international sanctions on Iran have been lifted.
This means money to and from Iran will flow more easily, and that US companies, among others, will see increased opportunities for trade with Tehran.
Since the deal was announced, one subject has been getting quite a few Iranians talking on social media - is it now inevitable that one of the most American of brands will arrive in Iran?
Well, hang on - not so quick. The sanctions, in place since 2002, have only just been lifted, and the implications of the move are not yet clear.
Having said that, a simple search on Twitter of the Iranian term for McDonald's brings up plenty of posts since the deal was agreed last year.
Some of the tweets are full of anticipation, some full of despair, some full of sarcasm.
And not all Iranians are happy, as this protest from November shows:
There are also signs the chain might be eyeing up a potential Iranian franchise.
If you are interested in running a McDonald's franchise in Iran, you can apply to do so.
But its international website says: "We have not set a firm date for the development of McDonald's restaurants in Iran," adding that, in the future, they "may take steps to do so".
It says the same for all countries where it does not have a franchise. McDonald's did not respond to the BBC when asked if it was looking to open in Iran.
"To the rest of the world, McDonald's is a little slice of Americana," said John Stanton, a professor of food marketing at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia.
"When it opened in Moscow, people weren't going for hamburgers, it was for a piece of America. In the US, it is targeted for children. But in the rest of the world, it can represent a certain level of middle-class comfort.
"You are now being recognised as having made it."
Well...
Not quite.
There is a rogue chain of Mash Donald's restaurants in Iran - you will not be surprised to hear that this brand is not endorsed by its US counterpart.
Mash Donald's is not alone - there are plenty of other imitation restaurants in Iran, some more convincing than others.
Like this one:
In 2012, it was widely reported in Iran that KFC had opened its first official franchise in Iran, in the city of Karaj - but our colleagues with BBC Persian found out that it was unauthorised.
At the time the deal was announced, Yum! - the company that owns KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut - said it was not taking applications for any new franchises in the Middle East, but there is now a way to enquire about opening new franchises in the region.
It's not known whether the American-owned Mexican grill chain Chipotle plans to open in Iran.
But it, too, may want a word with its unauthorised imitator in Tehran:
It's what many import and export companies have been waiting for - and the lifting of sanctions bodes well for them.
Last year, the British-Iranian Chamber of Commerce said it had "already seen clients ramp up their marketing efforts in Iran over the last 12 months."
Now sanctions are lifted, expect easier access to Iranian pistachios, dates, saffron and herbs.
Among those who stand to benefit is Sally Butcher, the co-owner of Persepolis, an Iranian cafe and shop in south London.
"There have been difficulties as a small business, and the sanctions are not aimed at us," she said.
"It will be much, much easier now. We can have a much greater range of things we can bring in. It will have a slightly adverse effect as money will buy us a lot less in Iran.
"But it is the beginning of a new era."
Now aged 82, he is a billionaire and is leaving his entire business empire to the Roman Catholic Church, keeping only £10m for himself.
He started out as a sweet-seller on the streets of Rhyl, struggling to earn a living to support his young family.
"I was at my wits' end thinking what on earth am I going to do," he said.
"I was desperate and didn't know where the next penny was going to come from."
His father ran stalls in North Wales in the 1940s and growing up there has had a lasting impact on him.
"I had a very hard father. I had two sisters. He was soft on them and hard on me," he said.
"I was always made to work at a very early age. I finished school at 4pm and by 5pm I was working. It was seven days a week."
Frugal 'little rules'
Mr Gubay, who admits to being a workaholic, founded the first Kwik Save store in 1965, going on to sell the supermarket chain for £14m in 1973.
He then founded the Total Fitness network of gyms, which were sold in 2004 for £70m, and has since built a vast property empire, which he still runs from his home in the Isle of Man.
He puts his success down to a "lot of luck" and applying frugal "little rules" to cut costs.
When the BBC visited him at home in the Isle of Man, he used one tea-bag for two cups of tea.
"Why would you want to waste anything?" he asked, squeezing the bag.
And this is how he has lived his life, wasting nothing and living as frugally as he can, so that he could give away as much money as possible, in particular to the Roman Catholic Church.
In 1998 Mr Gubay's cash helped fund a church built in Onchan in memory of his Roman Catholic mother.
He has given millions to churches in the Liverpool Diocese and pays for the city's archbishop and staff to fly to Lourdes every year.
On 23 February, the Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols presented Mr Gubay with a Papal knighthood - the highest award a Roman Catholic lay person can receive - for his charity work.
After the service held at the church Mr Gubay built for his mother, the archbishop said: "I think it would be true to say that Mr Gubay feels overwhelmed.
"I only know of one other person in the British Isles, who is not a Catholic, who has the same award.
"This is very rare but Mr Gubay's generosity is also very rare."
Mr Gubay says he has no intention of retiring and will continue running his companies until he dies.
He hopes to push the value of his empire to more than £1bn.
After his death, the newly-founded Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation will distribute his money to the Church and other charitable causes.
When asked what his great achievement in life is, Mr Gubay replied: "To be able to keep the promise I made to God, I think that keeps me going.
"No matter how much the money had been I would have always fulfilled my promise as that's the way I am."
The 27-year-old man was accused of shooting unarmed or wounded soldiers following a battle in the city of Homs.
The man, who has not been named, had denied the charges. He was arrested in western Austria in June.
It is thought to be the first time that a case involving war crimes in Syria have been tried in Austria.
The sentence was handed down by a court in Innsbruck, the Austria Press Agency reports.
Previous reports in local media said the man had told others at a refugee shelter that he had shot dead government soldiers when he was fighting with an Islamist rebel group called the Farouq Brigade, linked to the Free Syrian Army.
But his lawyers said his account of events was mistranslated and that he was expected to appeal against his conviction.
According to Der Standard, he is a stateless Palestinian who grew up in a refugee camp in Homs.
The suspect was placed under investigation when officials were alerted to his account of events in Syria last year.
Austria is unable to extradite the man to face charges in Syria because of the ongoing civil war there.
Killing injured soldiers is prohibited under the Geneva Convention.
Officials had previously said the actions that he had allegedly described qualified as terrorism and could be prosecuted under international counter-terrorism agreements.
The garden sits in the grounds of the crematorium, and includes specially designed plaques inscribed with the names of 149 babies.
It was created as one of the recommendations in the report by Dame Elish Angiolini in January 2013.
A second memorial is also proposed, in Princes Street Gardens, as some parents do not want to return to Mortonhall.
Dorothy Maitland, a former operations manager for infant deaths charity Sands, said: "I think it's very important to have a memorial and I know some parents will find it very difficult to go back to Mortonhall but I'm hoping that they will change their mind when they see the garden.
"Some parents are still finding it so difficult to accept what happened that right now a memorial is not of any comfort.
"I really hope that in time when they heal a bit more that they will be able to visit the garden and have their baby's name added and find comfort by doing this.
"It means so much to many parents to have somewhere where they can go that is nice and tranquil. It shows to everyone that each of these babies matters whether their names are on the memorial or not - it's for all babies.
"Obviously there has been a lot of hurt but the council have taken what has happened very seriously and made sure all of Dame Elish's recommendations have been met. The memorial has been done in a very sensitive way which speaks volumes."
Dame Sue Bruce, former Edinburgh city council chief executive, said: "This has been a very difficult process for so many people over the past three years so I want to acknowledge my personal appreciation of the support and feedback from parents in helping choose such a fitting memorial.
"The design reflects their wishes for a garden that will provide a private and peaceful place for personal contemplation and reflection."
Andrew Kerr, chief executive of Edinburgh city council, said: "The work of the Mortonhall Multi-Agency Working Group will continue so nothing like this can happen again.
"Lessons have been learnt and the action plan produced last year has now been fully implemented so we can ensure the highest possible standards are adhered to at Mortonhall." | Helen Ward's eighth goal in six games helped Reading beat Aston Villa 3-2 to pip Doncaster to the Women's Super League Two title on goal difference.

Ministers are drawing up plans to convert the first jails to be smoke-free next year.
PGA president Andrea Albutt "cautiously" welcomed the move but said it must be done in a "safe and staged" way as 80% of prisoners smoked.
The Ministry of Justice said safety and security remained its "top" priorities.
The government intends to ban smoking in all 136 prisons in England and Wales to reduce health risks - it is currently allowed only in prison cells and exercise yards.
The move follows a series of legal challenges by prison officers and inmates who have complained about the effects of passive smoking.
Mrs Albutt, who has governed four prisons, most recently Bristol, is heading a team that will be implementing the changes.
The privately run Parc Prison, in south Wales, is expected to go smoke-free next year, and publicly-run jails in Wales and south-west England are likely to follow.
Speaking on behalf of the Prison Governors Association, Mrs Albutt said the organisation agreed with the ban but said it had to be done in a managed and gradual way to avoid unrest, as about 80% of prisoners were smokers.
Stopping them smoking could result in "stability issues", she told BBC News, in her first interview since becoming the organisation's president on an interim basis.
She added that banning tobacco would create "potential problems" because it risked turning it into an illicit item to be smuggled in and traded by prisoners as "currency".
Joe Simpson, assistant general secretary for the Prison Officers Association, compared the effects of passive smoking on prison officers with the risks posed to bar workers before smoking in pubs was banned.
"All we are asking is for something that will help protect our members," he said.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "We are continuing to consider how to reduce the prevalence of smoking across the prison estate but the safety and security of prisons will always be our top priority."
Razor Smith, who served three decades in prison for a spate of armed robberies, said:
I served time in a juvenile prison in the 70s where there was no smoking and I can tell you... there was a great black market in tobacco goods.
There's a black market in anything, in any banned goods.
Whether you like it or not, tobacco is a way of dealing with stress and a lot of prisoners smoke.
If you were to take it away from them, after they've had it for so many years, it becomes like a war of attrition with the prison system and they then see the prison system as taking something away that is legitimate, that you're allowed to do outside - and obviously there will be violence.
They tried it in Australia a couple of weeks ago I think and there was an immediate riot.
Scotland is also considering tighter restrictions on smoking in jails.
The Scottish Prison Service said it aimed to have plans in place by December 2015 on how indoor smoke-free prison facilities would be delivered.
But the Northern Ireland Department of Justice said it had no plans to change the current rules, under which smoking is permitted in prison cells and certain open spaces.
Mrs Albutt, the first woman to lead the Prison Governors Association since it was founded 28 years ago, said the current priority of governors was to address the problems caused by new psychoactive substances (NPS), sometimes referred to as "legal highs" - synthetic drugs that mimic the effects of cannabis, ecstasy and cocaine.
"The problem is... an epidemic across the prison estate. As such it needs to be tackled strategically," she said, adding that many offenders would not be able to engage in education and training until prisons were clear of the "mind-altering" drugs.
The Ministry of Justice acknowledged the "huge challenge" posed by NPS and agreed it had to be tackled before preparing offenders to lead better lives.
The move has prompted debate on both sides of the argument: | Banning smoking in prisons in England and Wales could make them more unstable, the Prison Governors Association (PGA) has warned. | 33,617,492 | 867 | 28 | false |
Take Greece. The embattled country's economy has shrunk by 25% since 2008, youth unemployment stands at 50%, while total debts are pushing €323bn (£234bn).
Enlightening as these numbers are, they tell you little about the extreme hardships suffered by many living in the country.
And it's not just casual onlookers that can become detached.
As Prof Simon Johnson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), says: "When economic policymakers get together, it gets very abstract and the human dimension can be forgotten."
But the human consequences of financial crises are very real. Some are obvious - people lose their jobs and therefore their income, they can lose their home, watch their money become worthless in the face of rampant inflation or see their life savings wiped out.
Others are less so. "There are a number of health issues, primarily stemming from stress, a feeling of not being in control of your life and feeling powerless [to influence events around you]," says Prof Johnson.
"This affects people's health in a number of ways, such as excessive drinking, and can lead to a fall in life expectancy."
Indeed studies have shown an increase in suicide rates, in alcohol-related deaths and in mental health issues in countries hit by economic crises.
And the people who are hit hardest are invariably the poor.
"Better educated, [richer] people are more able to cope - they may see a fall in their paper wealth, but their prospects remain largely unchanged. The poor find it much harder to find a new job - they get hit really hard," says Prof Johnson.
"Inequality is compounded by financial crises."
Here, we speak to three people whose lives have been turned upside down by various financial crises across the world.
Indonesia 1997-1999
The wider Asian financial crisis started in Thailand.
The devaluation of the Thai baht in July sparked a chain of devaluations across South East Asia. Indonesia was one of the worst affected countries, and was forced to ask the IMF and World Bank for help after the rupiah quickly fell to an all-time low.
At the peak of the crisis, prices for basic foods shot up by as much as 80%, with Indonesians, fearing food shortages, clearing store shelves of staple goods. The crisis sparked nationwide protests that forced President Suharto to resign after 32 years in power.
Purnomo is 54 years old. He is from the city of Yogyakarta in Java, but lives and works in Utan Kayu, East Jakarta, selling chicken noodle soup by the roadside. He remembers the crisis all too well.
"About two years before before the economic crisis, I decided to set up a chicken noodle soup street stall.
"I was working at a batik textile factory at the time, and I wanted to increase my income so that I could pay for my two children's education. It was going well and we were making money. Chicken noodle soup is relatively easy to make and there was a demand for it.
"But when the Asian economic crisis started to hit Indonesia, it became very hard to keep our little store open. The price of everything went up dramatically. The price of wheat that made our noodles soared. Back then we used kerosene instead of gas for our stove and the price of kerosene became too much for us.
"It was frightening because as one of the 'little people' I didn't understand what was happening. I was forced to close down the stall.
"I felt incredibly vulnerable during the crisis because I didn't have an education. The powerful people were making decisions that we weren't part of. We saved money by eating very simple and cheap food at home. We never ate meat during those years.
"It wasn't until the presidency of Suslio Bambang Yudhoyono in 2004 that the Indonesian economy started to recover and I decided to quit my day job and open my roadside chicken noodle soup stall again.
"The thing that I am most proud of is that even during the hard years of the economic crisis I was still able to keep my two children in school. I said to them the most important thing is your education. Both my children have graduated from university now. My daughter is a French language teacher at an international school and my son works in aviation. I am very proud of them."
Argentina 1998-2002
Argentina is a country with a turbulent history of economic crises. The 1998-2002 period was one of the hardest in its history, the economy shrank by almost 30%. At that time, bank deposits were frozen, the country defaulted on its debts and Argentina's currency, the peso, depreciated dramatically against the US dollar. All sectors of society were affected.
Jose Juan Fernandez Reguera is 66 and is president of Losada, a publishing house founded in 1938.
"With humour, I can say that we are the kings of the financial crisis in Argentina, because we passed through all kinds of money problems, but finally stayed afloat."
He will never forget the 1998 crisis.
"In just a few short months, sales of books fell sharply, the price of inputs tripled and importing books became very expensive.
"With the Argentine peso you could buy a US dollar. All of a sudden, you needed three to four pesos to buy a dollar, and this in a country where the dollar still rules.
"The 'corralito' [freezing bank accounts and forcing those with dollars to convert their accounts into devalued pesos] was terrible. There was an economic crisis, but also a mental one, as a consequence. The mood of the people was on the floor.
"The situation made me very sad. In front of my library there are two banks, and it was heartbreaking to see the despair of people taking out their savings.
"Equally the uncertainty of not knowing what would happen to my business was very difficult to cope with. I tried to hide the situation from my employees but it was hard, really hard."
"Argentines did not trust the banks and we had no access to credit - the crisis greatly affected my business."
The revival of the economy five years after the crisis began, together with the reading culture of the Argentines, meant the book industry finally recovered.
In fact, Mr Fernandez Reguera has just bought a new publishing house called Aique.
"With subsidies and other measures, the government sent money to the street. People increased their standard of living and consumption.
"I remain confident in this country and I believe that behind every crisis there is an opportunity. When everyone takes two steps back, I take one forward."
Cyprus 2012 -
An overblown government sector and a stubborn refusal to reform, together with overexposed and mismanaged banks, led to Cyprus asking international lenders for financial assistance in early 2013. The EU, European Central Bank and IMF agreed to a €10bn (£7bn; $11bn) bail-out package but set strict conditions, including a one-off 48% levy on deposits over €100,000 held at the country's two biggest banks.
Pambos Charalambous, a 39-year old prison guard, and his 36-year old wife Helena were struggling to get their life in order at a time everything around them was collapsing. They got married in 2012 and, like many newlyweds, immediately set out to buy a place of their own.
With a combined income of €3,000 a month and state housing aid on the way, the couple was looking at a bright future. They bought a three-bedroom house in the outskirts of the capital Nicosia for €166,000 and started paying off the loan.
Everything changed in late 2013, when the government went into full austerity mode.
"We didn't know what was going to happen. How could we have known? We were not economists. The government didn't even know," says Pambos.
Following the deposit levy, struggling banks imposed far stricter conditions on housing loans, and soon enough the property market plummeted.
Economic growth went into reverse and many businesses had to cut back on staff and slash salaries to make up for huge loses in revenue. One of the victims was Helena, who lost her job, while Pambos saw his salary reduced by almost a third.
Soon welfare benefits also fell victim to austerity, including the housing aid upon which the couple was counting and was assured they would receive. Stricter lending criteria were then imposed, adding in a stroke €70,000 to newlyweds' debts.
"You feel helpless, angry, trapped," says Pambos. "I mean, it wasn't our fault the economy crashed. We weren't in this situation because we were lazy. We were in this mess because the fat cats wanted to line their pockets, no matter who they trampled on."
In the space of one year, Pambos found himself with a €162,000 bank debt instead of the €100,000 he had planned for, and with less than half the money coming in to service it.
"When I stopped paying, the bank notices came pouring in but there was nothing I could do. It's either pay daily expenses or service the loan and starve."
They have tried to sell the house but in the past two years have received not a single offer.
Unable to cope, Pambos made headlines recently when he announced on Facebook he was raffling off his home. Authorities soon put a stop to it and now he is working with a lawyer to find a way to press ahead with the sale.

Outlets operate under tight Communist Party control. The opening-up of the industry has extended to distribution and advertising, not to editorial content. However, there is leeway for independent coverage that is not perceived as a threat to social stability or the Party.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has described President Xi Jinping as the "planet's leading censor and press freedom predator".
The Communist Party has taken repression "to new heights", the group said in its 2016 World Press Freedom Index. "Journalists were spared nothing, not even abductions, televised forced confessions and threats to relatives."
Beijing tries to limit access to foreign news by restricting rebroadcasting and the use of satellite receivers, by jamming shortwave broadcasts, including those of the BBC, and by blocking websites.
Overseas Chinese-language news outlets that are not state-owned are blocked in mainland China. However, international English language websites like the BBC are often available to view. But content that is contrary to Communist Party rhetoric is filtered and English-language news sites can be filtered at times of tension.
Fears that the media in Hong Kong would lose their independence when the territory reverted to Chinese control in 1997 have generally not been borne out. Hong Kong still has editorially-dynamic media, but worries about interference remain.
TV is available in most homes and the sector is competitive, especially in cities. There are more than 3,300 local, regional and national TV channels.
State-run Chinese Central TV (CCTV) is China's largest media company. Its dominance is challenged by provincial TVs, which are on the air nationally via satellite. China is a major market for pay TV, which is almost entirely delivered by cable. All of China's 2,600-plus radio stations are state-owned.
There are around 1,900 newspapers. Each city has its own title, usually published by the local government, as well as a local Communist Party daily.
China spends hugely on TV, radio, online and press outlets targeted at international audiences, aiming to extend its political influence and boost its image. It is less keen to allow foreign players into the domestic market.
With 731 million users (China Internet Network Information Centre, CNNIC, January 2017), China has the world's largest internet-using population.
The CNNIC says 92.5% of China's online population can access the internet via a smartphone.
There are three powerful online giants, known collectively as "BAT": Baidu is the top search engine; e-commerce leader Alibaba has allied with Sina, which operates the Weibo microblog platform; and Tencent owns instant messenger WeChat.
Because of official censorship, Weibo is losing some of its appeal as a forum where relatively uncensored news can be shared.
WeChat, Tencent's take on the WhatsApp instant messenger, has more than 846 million monthly active users, making it the most popular social media platform in China.
China has the world's largest online video market. Streaming platforms, including market leader iQiyi, Youku Tudou and Sohu have a huge following and pose a challenge to traditional TV.
An extensive web filtering system, dubbed the "Great Firewall of China", blocks tens of thousands of sites using URL filtering and keyword censoring.
Thousands of cyber-police watch the web and material deemed politically and socially sensitive is filtered. Blocked resources include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and human rights sites.
The use of circumvention tools, including virtual private networks (VPNs), became harder after China strengthened its firewall to allow it to intercept data traffic to and from individual IP addresses.

John Cooper, 58, and Sharon Cooper, 56, of Gorleston in Norfolk, died when their Harley Davidson motorbike was in collision with a Landrover Freelander.
The accident happened near Sanquhar at about 13:15 on Sunday afternoon.
The road was closed for nearly eight hours while police carried out investigations. Police have asked any witnesses to contact them.
Wales led in the fifth minute thanks to Cameron Lewis' try, but Henry Hutchison touched down in the corner to give Australia a 10-7 half-time lead.
Dane Blacker's breakaway put Wales back in front, only for Harry Johnson-Holmes to plunge over for Australia.
Arwel Robson's 77th-minute drop-goal drew Wales level, but then Perese sped clear to score the clinching try.
Despite producing an encouraging performance in parts, Wales will feel this was an opportunity missed.
After Lewis' early try, Jason Strange's side could have strengthened their hold on the game when Australia wing Simon Kennewell was sent to the sin bin for a tip-tackle on James Botham.
However, it was the Wallabies who reduced their deficit thanks to a Harrison Goddard penalty, before Hutchison put them ahead with a score wide on the right flank.
He almost claimed a second minutes later in the same corner, but an excellent tackle from Will Talbot-Davies forced him to spill the ball.
Wales regained the lead in fine fashion in the second half, as James Botham broke from the base of a scrum and freed Blacker to canter clear.
But just two minutes later, Australia were back in front as replacement prop Johnson-Holmes burrowed his way over the line.
Wales enjoyed long spells of possession in Australia's 22 and appeared to have secured at least a draw with Robson's sweetly-struck drop-goal.
But less than a minute later, Perese scythed through the Welsh defence to snatch a dramatic late win for the Wallabies.

Starting on 153-6, the visitors added just 23 more runs to trail by 42 as Ben Sanderson finished with 5-52.
Max Holden and Newton (108) made 92 for the first wicket, and Newton added 133 alongside Alex Wakely (79).
Tony Palladino removed Holden and Newton for the visitors, before another McKerr wicket left it 247-4 at stumps.
Derbyshire were a man light with Luis Reece spending Friday night in hospital after complaining of breathing difficulties on day one, but the club say he is "feeling much better in himself".
Newton, who has also scored four half-centuries this season, recorded the 12th first-class ton of his career to help his side to a healthy 289-run advantage.
He tested positive for banned substances but claimed his food was spiked with steroids by two fellow wrestlers and made a police complaint.
The 26-year-old was provisionally suspended from competing at the Rio Olympics and replaced by Parveen Rana.
However, India's wrestling federation (WFI) will now try to reinstate Yadav.
The WFI says it will write to the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) and United World Wrestling (UWW) regarding the issue.
"There is no fault or negligence on the athlete's part and he is a victim of sabotage," said Navin Agarwal, the National Anti-Doping Agency's director-general.
Yadav was picked over two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar after he won India's quota place with bronze at last year's World Championships.
"I want to thank everyone who supported me," he said. "It's a triumph for truth. Now I want to go to Rio and bring back a medal for India."
The men's freestyle wrestling competition starts on 19 August.
Indian shot put champion Inderjeet Singh also claimed he had failed a drugs test because of a "conspiracy" against him.

British number two Watson, who went through qualifying to reach the main draw in Rome, defeated the 2012 French Open finalist in two hours and 16 minutes.
Italian Errani needed two medical time-outs during the first set, which featured seven breaks of serve.
But she levelled at one set all before Watson powered away in the decider.
It means that Guernsey-born Watson, currently 55th in the world, will go through to face the Czech Republic's Barbora Strycova, ranked 36th, in round two.
And Watson admitted that the battle to qualify for a place at the Olympic Games in Rio is never far from her thoughts at the moment.
The top 56 players in the singles rankings are guaranteed qualification, with a few extra places likely to be available when the cut-off is made on 6 June.
"It was totally on my mind as we started that third set today," Watson told BBC Sport.
"It's just a big goal of mine and with it in the back of my mind it just motivates me and gives me that little bit extra.
"The Olympics is every four years, it's for your country. I can't even describe the atmosphere, it's unbelievable, and I just love being around the other athletes."

The 16-year-old died after being stabbed with a knife at Cults Academy in Aberdeen in October last year.
His killer is serving nine years detention for culpable homicide.
The independent review, led by Andrew Lowe, is expected to be published in September.
As part of the investigation, a "detailed timeline" will be drawn up showing which agencies were involved with the killer, who cannot be identified for legal reasons. In the review he will be referred to as Child A.
It will also look at information sharing between agencies during his childhood.
In addition, the scope of the review will include:
The review was commissioned by Aberdeen City Council, NHS Grampian and Police Scotland in the wake of the trial of the schoolboy's killer at the High Court in Aberdeen.
The court heard that the schoolboy was fatally stabbed in the heart after a row over a biscuit.
Following the verdict, it also emerged that concerns were raised about the 16-year-old killer nine years ago, when he was in primary school.
During the review, its chairman, a former lawyer, will have access to all the necessary case files from the council, health board, the police and the Scottish Children's Reporter.
Andrew Lowe will also be able to draw on any additional independent professional expertise he requires to meet the terms of the review.
Mr Lowe is the independent chairman of child and adult protection for Renfrewshire and the chairman of the Glasgow Public Social Partnership for Learning Disability.
Johnston, which owns The Scotsman and more than 200 other titles, said the purchase was subject to shareholder approval.
It will pay £22m in cash once the deal is completed and the rest on 20 April.
The announcement came as ESI confirmed that the i's sister titles, The Independent and Independent on Sunday, will halt print editions in March.
In a statement, Johnston said the i acquisition would create the UK's fourth-largest print publisher with more than 600,000 paid copies a day.
The i became Britain's first new daily national newspaper in nearly 25 years when it launched in 2010 with a cover price of 20p. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC), the newspaper sold nearly 270,000 copies daily in December.
Johnston said its directors believed the i provided a "strong strategic fit" and would help build the group's national print and digital display advertising revenues.
The move is also expected to strengthen its existing portfolio, which includes The Scotsman, The Yorkshire Post and the Belfast-based Newsletter.
Johnston chief executive Ashley Highfield said: "This is a transformational acquisition for Johnston Press and an important step towards delivering our long-term strategy.
"i is a highly-regarded newspaper with a clear market position and a loyal readership.
"By joining with Johnston Press the combined circulation will be equal to 9% of national daily circulation, making us the fourth-largest player in the market.
"This enhanced reach represents a significant growth opportunity for Johnston Press in terms of national print and digital advertising revenue. It also rebalances our revenues towards less volatile circulation revenues.
"With our considerable digital experience the combination of Johnston Press and i will also allow us to grow digital audiences and revenues through the creation of inews.co.uk."
Johnston Press recently revealed plans to cut editorial jobs across its operations in the UK as part of a bid to reduce costs following a decline in revenue.
Shares in the publisher rose earlier this month after it said it expected a major reduction in its pension scheme deficit.
The Denmark international, 21, has played 161 games for Ajax and scored 32 goals since joining in 2008.
"Everyone has followed the development of Spurs and it's something I want to be part of," said Eriksen.
He became Spurs third signing in 24 hours, following Romanian defender Vlad Chiriches, 23, and Argentina striker Erik Lamela, 21 to White Hart Lane.
Chiriches became the club's fifth summer purchase when he completed his £8.5m move from Steaua Bucharest.
In a statement, Spurs said they were "delighted" with the deal for the player, capped 19 times by his country.
Later in the day Lamela signed from Roma in a deal that the Italian Serie A side claimed to be worth £25.7m. It also includes up to £4.2m in bonus payments.
The purchase of Eriksen is likely to take their summer spending to just under £105m in this transfer window and paves the way for Gareth Bale to join Real Madrid in a world-record move.

It is one of several stunts planned for World Emoji Day, which celebrates the colourful symbols used in instant messages, on 17 July.
London's Royal Opera House will present 20 well-known operas and ballets in emoji form online.
There are 2,666 emojis currently on the official Unicode Standard list.
The Unicode consortium lays out the framework for emojis and decides what should be depicted, but companies such as Apple and Google are free to create their own designs.
This year, Twitter is expected to crowdsource ideas for new emojis.
The founder of World Emoji Day, Jeremy Burge, who is also on one of Unicode's committees, said the consortium considered hundreds of applications for new emojis every year.
"You can't buy your way in - and it makes companies mad," he said.
"You need to fulfil criteria. There has to be demand for it. Brands or logos are not permitted."
Recent additions to the emojis, which appear on smartphone device keyboards, have included a range of skin tones and Scotland's saltire.
Some celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber, have launched their own range of icons for fans to purchase - but Mr Burge said that consumers should be aware that they have limitations.
"Kimojis and Justmojis are stickers. They don't work in every app, you need to download them, they won't come with your phone," he said.
Emojis have been around since the 1990s and Apple first included them in its iPhone keyboard in 2011.
The first World Emoji Day took place in 2014. The date - 17 July - was chosen because it is the date which appears on the emoji for "calendar".
Mr Burge, who also works at the emoji search engine Emojipedia, said he did not accept any sponsorship for the event.
"I think emojis are OK. Some people don't like them because they're not formal," said Dr Laura Dominguez, associate professor in linguistics at the University of Southampton.
"I think they are useful for certain things and sometimes an emoji has more meaning and expression than words.
"If an emoji can express the same message as you could say with a whole sentence, why not use an emoji?"
However, despite their popularity, emojis are unlikely to replace written language and be recognised as a language in their own right, she said.
"The purposes of language are communication and thought," said Dr Dominguez.
"You need language to think. Can you think in emojis? I would imagine that even people who use them a lot to communicate probably don't use them when they are thinking."
According to the digital keyboard firm Swiftkey, the most used emoji of 2016 in the UK was the one of a face crying with laughter, second was a face blowing a kiss, with a red heart third most popular.
The firm said it analysed 400 million bits of "emoji data".
Mr Burge said his current favourite is the rocket - for "let's go".
"I do get bored with [a favourite emoji] after too long," he said. "You don't want to eat too much of your favourite food."

The Kiwi captain top-scored as his side looked to be heading for a win before play was halted in the second innings.
Australia were 53-3 after nine overs, chasing a revised target of 235 from 33 overs, when rain intervened.
The two teams pick up a point each as England top the group after Thursday's win over Bangladesh.
Australia needed to bat for at least 20 overs for a result to be declared through the Duckworth-Lewis method.
New Zealand opener Luke Ronchi got his side off to a flying start, showcasing a repertoire of shots with an aggressive approach.
The Australian bowlers struggled to find their line and length as a long rain delay in the morning reduced the number of overs to 46.
Ronchi raced to his half-century from just 34 balls before he was caught by Glen Maxwell off the bowling of John Hastings for 65, handing the reins over to his skipper Williamson.
Williamson batted superbly, starting with a patient approach. Accompanied by Ross Taylor, who scored 46, he kept the scoreboard ticking along between some high-scoring shots.
He registered his ninth one-day-international century in a knock that included eight fours and two sixes, before being run out on 100.

Australian seamer Josh Hazlewood registered career-best ODI figures, taking six wickets for 52 runs, as New Zealand's middle and lower order collapsed soon after their captain's dismissal.
New Zealand stuttered as they lost their last seven wickets for just 37 runs.
Hazlewood ensured the opposition didn't see see out their allotted overs, mopping up the tail with three wickets in four balls,

Another rain delay at the midway point set Australia their revised target.
David Warner and Aaron Finch did not get off to the most convincing start, with both openers dismissed in the space of eight balls.
New Zealand's Adam Milne struck again to leave their opponents reeling, before play was called off.
The result is reminiscent of the last time the sides met at Edgbaston, which was also rained off in the second innings.
Ex-New Zealand batsman Jeremy Corney on Test Match Special: "Kane Williamson has such good hands, plays the ball very late and is able to see the length and line at the last moment.
"It's very hard to keep him scoring just down to singles, he keeps on scoring. At his best I think he is one of the top four players in the world. "
Ex-England batsman James Taylor on TMS: "The partnership between Williamson and Taylor laid the perfect platform for New Zealand but the crescendo never came.
"If they are to win the tournament, they can't afford to collapse like they did."
Australia captain Steve Smith: "I thought it was probably one of the worst bowling displays that we've put on for a very long time. We bowled both sides of wicket.
"We gave them a lot of freebies. And it was pretty ordinary, to be honest with you. Let's hope it's rust and let's hope it's gone."
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson: "We were playing some good cricket. Would have been nice to see how the game would unfold if we were able to get out and finish it. But it is a funny game, cricket.
"And when there's rain around, the Duckworth-Lewis does tend to help the side batting second; but, like I say, the guys who were going well with the ball in hand, and it would have been interesting to see how it unfolded."
Another six people were injured in the fire, which broke out at the privately run Kangleyuan home in Pingdingshan city on Monday night.
Two of the injured were in serious condition, said the Xinhua news agency.
President Xi Jinping ordered "all-out efforts" to care for the injured and bereaved relatives and to find out what had gone wrong, Xinhua reported.
Fifty-one people were reported to be living at the home. One survivor, 82-year-old Zhao Yulan, said only two of the 11 people she shared a room with had escaped.
A search and rescue operation was still under way on Tuesday morning at the apartment building which housed the rest home.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
In 2013, a fire at a home for the elderly in Heilongjiang province left 11 people dead. It was determined to have been started by one of the residents, who was among the dead.
Former Gillingham boss Edinburgh replaced Rob Page at a club currently five points above the relegation zone.
In 2016, the Cobblers won League Two and had a 31-match unbeaten run.
"We need an enthusiasm and a smile on people's faces. When we started out in football we did it because of our enthusiasm," said the 47-year-old.
"That's what we've got to have. That smile can become greater and enthusiasm can become bigger when we win games.
"And confidence is key, it's a big part of football. We've got to instil that, get that belief back into the players and I believe I can do that."
Edinburgh watched from the stands as the Cobblers were beaten 2-1 at home by second-placed Scunthorpe United on Saturday, as they continued a run of just two league victories since the start of November.
Former Tottenham defender Edinburgh, dismissed by Gillingham on 3 January, said he was grateful for the opportunity given to him by chairman Kelvin Thomas.
"Kelvin rang me on Sunday and asked me whether I had been scared off (by the defeat) and I said 'no, certainly not'," Edinburgh told BBC Radio Northampton.
"I'm delighted to get this fantastic opportunity. We know what kind of industry we're in, you can sit and twiddle your thumbs for a very long time and not get a phone call, opportunity or interview.
"I've had time to reflect. I was lucky enough to have a holiday away in the short space of time between jobs but I can't wait to get started. Getting out on the training ground on Monday morning was a joy."
Following the arrival of David Kerslake as assistant manager, Paul Wilkinson, Paddy Kenny and John Harbin have all left the Sixfields coaching staff.
The 25-year-old, who has 27 caps, was taken off on a stretcher during the second half and has since had surgery.
The Cherry and Whites say Morgan will "commence an appropriate rehabilitation programme over the coming weeks."
England's campaign starts against Wales on 6 February and finishes on 21 March.
Coach Stuart Lancaster is set to announce his squad for the Six Nations after next weekend's round of European club games, and Morgan's injury could open the way for Saracens' Billy Vunipola to regain his starting place.
Alternatively, Wasps' in-form captain James Haskell could fill in at number eight.

Morgan was one of England's most impressive performers during the autumn internationals, scoring a try after coming on as a replacement against South Africa, before being promoted to the starting XV against Samoa and scoring two tries in the win over Australia the following weekend.
He signed a new contract with his hometown club last week, having joined them in 2012 after a spell with Welsh regional side Scarlets.
Morgan made his England debut against Scotland in February 2012, turning down the chance to represent Wales, for whom he would have qualified on residency ground from his time at Parc y Scarlets.
Markus Reichel admitted handing over more than 200 documents over four years to the CIA in exchange for at least €80,000 (£63,000, $90,000).
The court in Munich heard that these included the real and cover names and addresses of German agents abroad.
The 32-year-old was also found guilty of treason for giving three documents to the Russian secret service.
Reichel had been employed at the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) since 2007, working in the mail room where he had access to classified documents.
He also had clearance to handle top secret information, the Munich-based Sueddeutsche Zeitung paper reports.
During his trial, which began in November, Reichel said that he had handed over the intelligence not only for the thrill and adventure of it, but also for the recognition.
"No-one trusted me with anything at the BND. At the CIA it was different," he told the court.
"I would be lying if I said that I didn't like that."
His department was responsible for the protection of soldiers serving abroad, according to the Reuters news agency.
Between 2008 and 2014, he received between €10,000-20,000 a year in cash for the secrets he shared at secret meeting points in Austria.
Reichel used to copy sensitive documents at work, smuggle them home where he scanned them and sent them on to his handler, the AFP news agency reports.
After several years of doing this, he itched to "experience something new" and offered his services to the Russian consulate in Munich, the agency says.
But his email to the Russians, with classified documents attached, was intercepted and this led to him being uncovered.
In his closing remarks in court, Reichel apologised and asked for forgiveness, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reports.
His arrest in 2014 came in the wake of strained relations between the US and Germany after leaks by former CIA agent Edward Snowden revealed the extent of US spying activities in Germany.
Belgium striker Benteke received a red card 25 minutes from the end of Villa's 2-1 Premier League defeat on Sunday for pushing a hand into Ryan Mason's face.
"You cannot condone what he did, but it is not like he threw a Mike Tyson punch," Lambert told BBC Sport.

"My daughter can punch harder."
Villa were leading 1-0 through an Andreas Weimann goal when Benteke was dismissed.
Television replays appeared to show Mason pushing his head into the face of Benteke, who was making only his third start for Villa after six months out with a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Lambert said: "He was provoked. If you go back a frame in the video, you can see the lad puts his head into Christian's face. I can understand what Christian's done, even though I can't condone it."
Weimann's 16th-minute opener ended a Villa goal drought stretching back to 13 September, when Gabriel Agbonlahor scored in a 1-0 victory at Liverpool.
Nacer Chadli and Harry Kane struck in the final six minutes to consign Villa to a sixth straight defeat, which marks their worst league run since 1967.
But Lambert felt Villa's performance was much improved on the one that resulted in a 2-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers last Monday.
"I thought we were excellent throughout the game," he said. "OK, we lost but the red card changed the game. There were so many positives today but one disappointment.
"We were up against a good side but I thought we looked like the team likely to score. The way things are going, sometimes things go against you. Performance wise I could not have asked for more.
"Christian Benteke was showing great form, Tottenham could not handle him and it is disappointing with the red card."

The 43-year-old, capped 67 times by his country, takes over from Brian McDermott, whose second spell in charge of the club lasted just six months.
A coach at Ajax last season, Stam had been favourite to succeed McDermott.
"Reading are very ambitious like I am and want to get back to the Premier League," he said. "Hopefully we can have a good partnership and get there."
Stam, who was part of United's 1998-99 treble-winning side during his three years at Old Trafford, joins the Championship club on a two-year contract.
The former Lazio, AC Milan and Ajax centre-back's new role with the Royals is his first in management.
"Everyone knows that teams in the Championship are very competitive," he added. "It's not going to be easy, but we'll work very hard."
He becomes Reading's first non-British or Irish manager. Dutch duo Andries Ulderink and Said Bakkati will join his coaching team having worked with him at Ajax.
First-team coaches Steven Reid and Dave Beasant will both remain in their positions.

Chairman Sir John Madejski, who sat alongside Stam as he was presented to the press on Monday, admitted he was disappointed to see the club part with McDermott in May.
McDermott led the Royals to promotion to the Premier League in 2011-12, but won only nine of 30 games in charge during his second spell as the Berkshire side finished 17th last season.
"I wish that Brian had been given a bit longer," said Madejski. "But the shareholders decided it was time for a change.
"I respect the shareholders' decision, although I didn't agree with the decision that Brian shouldn't have stayed longer.
"That's in the past now, so we have to move forward. I wish Jaap every success for the future and I really do mean that."
Stam, meanwhile, said he spoke to fellow countrymen Southampton boss Ronald Koeman and former Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink before deciding to take the Reading job.
"It's very important to speak to people who have been working at the top level as well as in the UK to ask them for advice about the way to go," he said.
Applications for homelessness assistance stood at 10,269 which was down from 11,604 on the same period the previous year.
Homeless numbers were at their lowest level for more than a decade.
Housing and Welfare Minister Margaret Burgess said the Scottish government was "working hard to ensure that priority is given to prevention".
Legislation which came into effect at the end of 2012 entitled anyone finding themselves homeless through no fault of their own to settled accommodation.
Ms Burgess said: "It is difficult to imagine, or overstate the trauma that comes with losing the roof over your head.
"I've worked with many people in that situation and that is why there can be absolutely no complacency when it comes to tackling homelessness.
"I am confident that by working together, Scotland can pave the way and set an example to the rest of the world when it comes to preventing homelessness."
Director of the housing charity Shelter Scotland Graeme Brown said: "It is good news that 13% fewer families and individuals are experiencing the tragedy of homelessness.
"But homelessness in Scotland is still too high. Indeed, with the homelessness rate up to six times that of England, we cannot afford to be complacent or lose sight of the fact that over 10,000 households still lost their homes in just three months."
The Scottish Greens said the number of homeless households in temporary accommodation such as bed and breakfast remains over 10,000 compared to the 4,000 recorded 10 years ago.
Scottish Greens' Co-Convenor Patrick Harvie said: "It's a scandal that in 2013 we have so many families and individuals being housed in inappropriate places. The housing minister says it's a priority but her colleague the finance secretary has cut the budget.
"The current year's housing budget in Scotland is £389m - this is due to drop by £121m over the next three years."
Mr Harvie continued: "Instead of raiding these important funds Scottish ministers should be increasing their investment in social housing to help ensure a decent home for all."
That was echoed by Leslie Morphy, the chief executive of Crisis, a charity which works with single homeless people.
She said: "Today's figures prove that with sufficient political will, a real difference can be made in tackling homelessness even during the economic downturn. By strengthening its homelessness safety net, the Scottish Government is making excellent progress in saving people from the horrors of homelessness.
"Sadly, this progress is under threat. Independent research warns that welfare cuts - particularly cuts to housing benefit including the bedroom tax, alongside a chronic lack of social housing - could scupper this progress.
"We fear homelessness could begin to rise again unless these issues are tackled."
The Scottish government said the number of people in temporary accommodation had fallen 5% in the last year.

Neither man scored an attacking point, sending the bout to golden point, in which the first to score wins.
However, Oates, 33, committed a third shido, or foul, leaving le Blouch to progress.
Fellow Briton Ashley McKenzie exited the judo competition on Saturday, beaten by world champion Yeldos Smetov.
Striker Karim Benzema instinctively headed Villarreal keeper Sergio Asenjo's parry back into an empty net to give Real a 1-0 lead at the break.
Lucas Vazquez drilled in a low second, before Luka Modric slid in to wrap up Real's eighth straight La Liga win.
Third-placed Real are a point behind the top two with four games left.
But there was a late concern for coach Zinedine Zidane when Cristiano Ronaldo limped off in injury-time.
Relive the action from Wednesday's La Liga games
Real knew they needed a victory to maintain their push for a first La Liga title since 2012 after Barca ended their three-match winless run by thumping Deportivo and Atletico edged past fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao.
And they responded with an efficient display against a toothless Villarreal side.
Real had dominated without stretching away keeper Asenjo, finally making their superiority count through Benzema's 27th goal of the season.
Vazquez, given a rare start as Gareth Bale missed out with a slight back injury, took advantage of his opportunity by converting Benzema's neat lay-off after the break.
Real never looked like letting Villarreal back into the game, sealing a routine victory through Croatia midfielder Modric.
He will use the G7 summit in Germany to call for an international effort to clean up governments and business.
And he will condemn the international "taboo" on pointing the finger at corrupt institutions.
Fourteen people have been charged by the US over alleged corruption at world football's governing body.
The US justice department alleges that the 14 accepted bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period.
British officials said David Cameron would speak of a "cancer of corruption that poisons and stifles" the progress the G7 hopes to make on development and growth, and that the kind of scrutiny being applied to Fifa should not be restricted to the footballing body.
He is not, however, expected to name organisations and businesses that he would like to see put under the spotlight.
Speaking ahead of the summit, Mr Cameron said the issues surrounding Fifa were an "opportunity to learn a broader lesson about tackling corruption".
He added: "Just as with Fifa, we know the problem is there but there is something of an international taboo over pointing the finger and stirring up concerns.
"At international summits, leaders meet to talk about aid, economic growth and how to keep our people safe.
"But we just don't talk enough about corruption. This has got to change. We have to show some of the same courage that exposed Fifa and break the taboo on talking about corruption."
In an article for the Huffington Post website, the prime minister said corruption threatens "security and prosperity across the world."
He added: "World leaders simply cannot dodge this issue any longer."
The UK prime minister will join US President Barack Obama, French President Francois Hollande, Italian PM Matteo Renzi, Canadian PM Stephen Harper and Japanese PM Shinzo Abe for the two-day G7 summit, hosted at Schloss Elmau in the Bavarian Alps by Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Mrs Merkel has put climate change and sustainable development at the top of the agenda for the annual summit of the world's leading industrialised economies, which gets under way on Sunday.
The talks will also focus on growth, security and the threat from terrorism and disease epidemics.
But Mr Cameron will argue that the issue of corruption has a bearing on all these areas and must be discussed openly as part of the talks.
He will cite World Bank estimates that corruption adds 10% to business costs worldwide, with the equivalent of one trillion US dollars (£650bn) paid in bribes every year.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) believes corruption costs about 5% of global GDP annually, while in developing countries it can add 25% to the cost of procurement, Mr Cameron will say.
Seven of the 10 countries considered to be the most corrupt in sub-Saharan Africa are also in the bottom 10 on the human development index and infant mortality is twice as high in countries with the most corruption as in those with the least.
Mr Cameron will say that there is an onus on world leaders to do what they can to tackle the issue.
He will call for action in the coming months to focus the efforts of the various international organisations tasked with combating corruption to ensure that they are working effectively with one another.
Anti-corruption measures should be at the heart of the new United Nations development goals for the coming 15 years, due to be agreed in September, he will say.
Mr Cameron has spoken about the theme of corruption before, writing an article on it ahead of last year's G7.
"Because of the events of Fifa, which have sent shockwaves around the world, that could perhaps make a difference and get this moving forward," BBC political correspondent Alan Soady said.
Diane Sheard is UK director of the One Campaign, which campaigns for an end to poverty and preventable disease.
She said corruption within Fifa should be a wake-up call for G7 leaders.
"Transparency is the only reliable vaccine against the disease of illicit finance, money-laundering and secret payments," she said.
University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust said by showing people the workings of the department, "warts and all", it hoped to improve services.
It currently treats about 90% of patients within the time, against a target of 95%.
The trust has 12,000 staff and sees over one million patients a year.
Richard Mitchell, chief operating officer, said: "There are two aims to the day - the first is to give the public an insight into life in one of the NHS's busiest emergency departments and show what happens here every single day of the year.
"The second is to explain that emergency performance is not just an issue for the A&E at the Royal Infirmary - it is an issue for all of our hospitals and health partners."
Mr Mitchell added: "We have made lots of progress over the past 12 months but getting feedback from the public will help us to improve further."
The trust runs three hospitals in Leicester - the Royal Infirmary, General and Glenfield.
Messages posted on Twitter include cases studies, staff profiles, ambulance requests and information about how different departments work.
His comments come as a poll for BBC Wales found almost two-thirds of voters think the Welsh assembly should have at least some influence over taxes.
Only about one in three wanted to keep the current system where the assembly has no power to vary taxes.
Support for Welsh independence remains weak, with 7% backing it.
This would rise to 12% if Scotland leaves the UK, according to the research.
The poll also shows strong support for the Welsh government's public sector-only approach to the NHS.
Pollsters ICM found 28% of people thought the assembly should have the power to reduce or increase all taxes.
A total of 36% said some tax-varying powers should be devolved within limits agreed with the UK government.
But 32% thought the assembly should have no powers over taxes.
The institution gained primary law-making powers in a referendum last year, but has no say over taxation.

It appears that while there's no real demand for independence - even if Scotland leaves the union - Welsh voters have yet to be convinced the current settlement is the right one.
It's striking that less than one year since the referendum more people want to see the assembly's powers increase than think that the current powers are sufficient.
Politicians have always believed that there's no real desire among voters for the assembly to have powers over taxation.
It's clear from the poll that almost two-thirds of voters believe the assembly should have taxation powers - even if they disagree about the extent of those powers.
Maybe it's not a great surprise that voters in the home of the health service aren't that impressed by the changes the UK government in England - but the four-to-one rejection of the suggestion that Wales should copy the English reforms is one of the clearest results I've seen in any Welsh poll.
Worth noting, perhaps, that neither the Conservatives nor the Liberal Democrats in the assembly have proposed that Wales should go down the English route when it comes to health.
The poll found 29% were satisfied with the powers the assembly has, while 36% said it should be more powerful.
A fifth (22%) thought the assembly should be abolished.
Seven per cent thought Wales should be an independent country, rising to 12% if Scotland votes for independence.
Mr Jones told Radio Wales the assembly has "substantial" new powers following the referendum but the poll showed that there were "still areas that need to be looked at in order to see that the devolution settlement works well".
He said the Welsh government's lack of control over energy policy meant Wales was "losing out big time in terms of jobs creation" in the sector.
He said there were some areas of tax, such as landfill tax, the aggregates levy, housing stamp duty and air passenger duty which he would like to see devolved to Wales.
But he said he would be "immensely suspicious" if the Welsh government was offered power over income tax.
He said independent assessments had shown Wales was underfunded in its grant from central government to the tune of £300m each year.
He said: "We're underfunded. If we took on powers over income tax, that would lock in the underfunding forever and that clearly isn't in Wales' interest."
He added: "Independence is simply not in the interests of Wales."
The Conservatives' leader in the assembly, Andrew RT Davies, said Welsh people had rejected independence.
"The arguments for the United Kingdom are clear," he said.
"The union has been a cultural and political strength which advantages all corners of it."
Plaid Cymru, the only one of the four main parties in favour of independence, said the support for further powers showed Wales was "growing in confidence".
Plaid AM Llyr Huws Gruffydd said: "The people of Wales are increasingly putting their trust in the assembly and devolution and they want to see more decisions made in Wales."
Rachel Banner, of True Wales, which campaigned for a No vote in last year's referendum, said politicians had interpreted the yes vote on primary law-making powers to seek control over more issues.
She said: "Last March, we were told that a yes vote would not lead to tax powers and here we are - we have a Silk Commission. Tax powers are on their way, it's inevitable.
"We've got this chain of event arising from the referendum last year that we never had a debate about."
Prof Richard Wyn Jones, director of the Wales Governance Centre at Cardiff University, said the plurality of support for more powers but very little support for independence was "striking".
He said: "People shouldn't be looking at Wales through Scottish lenses. What happens in Scotland makes very little difference to what people in Wales actually want for Wales."
There appears to be little appetite for the kind of NHS reform being pursued by the UK government, with 77% believing service delivery should stay as it is.
Only 18% thought that changes similar to those being introduced in England by the Westminster coalition should be imported.
ICM Research interviewed a random sample of 1,000 Welsh adults by telephone on 24-26 February. Interviews were conducted across Wales and the results have been weighted to the profile of all Welsh adults.
Mark Reckless said he did not feel it was appropriate to take part in the vote in the early hours of Wednesday because of the amount he had drunk.
The Conservative MP for Rochester and Strood told BBC Radio Kent: "I made a mistake. I'm really sorry about it."
Labour MP Hazel Blears said she returned to the library after it became "a bit lively" on the terrace.
Mr Reckless is one of 227 new MPs who started work at Westminster following the general election on 6 May.
He said: "I'm terribly, terribly embarrassed. I apologise unreservedly and I don't plan to drink again at Westminster."
Mr Reckless denied claims that he fell asleep on the terrace or got a taxi back to his constituency.
He added: "I remember someone asking me to vote and not thinking it was appropriate, given how I was at the time.
"If I was in the sort of situation generally where I thought I was drunk I tend to go home.
"Westminster is a very special situation and all I can say... is given this very embarrassing experience I don't intend to drink at Westminster again."
Mr Reckless was having drinks on the night of the second reading of the Finance Bill, which lasted until 0230 BST on Wednesday.
Commons leader Sir George Young described it as the first "seriously late" sitting of the new parliamentary term.
Hazel Blears told Sky News on Sunday: "On Tuesday night, it was a hot night, and we all knew we were going to be there until two o'clock so I went out for a drink on the terrace.
"I was there until about half past 10. Then I thought this is getting a bit lively so I went back in the library and did a bit more correspondence and then I popped out and had a drink somewhere else with my friends."
She added: "I think the lesson is [that] there's a lot of new members in the House. He said, Mr Reckless, he said it was a bit like a lock-in so maybe he does that in his pub.
"But I think he's probably learnt his lesson."
IndyCar said the Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver was "alert" after the crash but had a thigh injury.
The incident was reported to be the result of a mechanical failure, with Hinchcliffe going straight into a wall.
The 28-year-old is in a stable condition in intensive care.
Rule changes have been introduced amid concerns over the cars' designs.
In an effort to reduce speed and increase downforce, the cars - which can travel at up to 230mph - must now run race-level aerodynamics and engine-boost settings during qualifying.
Hinchcliffe had just completed a lap at 221.3 mph when the accident occurred.
Three-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves lost control of his car before it hit the perimeter wall and went airborne during Wednesday's practice.
The following day, fellow Chevrolet driver Josef Newgarden lost control going into the first turn at Indianapolis Motor Speedway before the car flipped and rested on its side after hitting the wall.
On Sunday, their CFH Racing team-mate Ed Carpenter was unhurt after his car crashed into a wall and flipped over during practice.
Hinchcliffe's accident followed a day later, as the drivers prepared for the 500-mile race on 24 May.
British driver Pippa Mann, of Dale Coyne Racing, also crashed this week but said her car's design had not been a factor, describing the incident as "just one of those things".
Police had been called to the property in Forsyth Street, Greenock, at about 11:05 on Friday.
A Police Scotland spokesman said the death was currently being treated as unexplained.
A post-mortem examination will be carried out to establish the cause. The woman has not yet been identified.
Ball took 4-25 as the visitors were skittled for just 119 in 25.4 overs in a match reduced to 35 overs because of rain earlier in the afternoon.
Opener Lumb then hit 46 from 38 balls to put the hosts totally in command.
Samit Patel (43no) and James Taylor (20no) took Notts home with an unbroken third-wicket stand of 60 in 122-2.
Things started badly for Somerset when Marcus Trescothick lost the toss and his side were forced to bat first.
And the former England opener's misery was compounded when he was out fourth ball for a duck, caught behind by Chris Read off Harry Gurney.
Craig Kieswetter and Peter Trego then got the visitors up and running with a quickfire partnership of 37 but, a ball after lofting Ajmal Shahzad for the second six of his innings, the England one-day wicketkeeper became another Read victim when on 22.

Nick Compton fell to a great catch by David Hussey for 14 to give Steven Mullaney the first of his three wickets and James Hildreth was bowled by Ball for five to spoil his 29th birthday.
A lot then rested on Trego, who had been holding the innings together, but after he was caught and bowled by Mullaney for 40, the rest of the team quickly folded.
Craig Meschede was left on 20 not out and Lewis Gregory hit 12 but the last five wickets fell for 28 in less than seven overs.

Ball was even close to a hat-trick after dismissing Alfonso Thomas and Jamie Overton, but Steve Kirby survived.
Notts' innings was briefly interrupted by a rain delay after nine balls and two balls after the resumption, Alex Hales was lbw to Kirby for five.
But Lumb took over with his 41-minute innings and when he was out to leave the score 62-2, the match already seemed won.
And so it proved as Patel hit his entertaining unbeaten 43 from 26 balls as he and Taylor secured victory.
Notts will now play Glamorgan in the final at Lord's on 21 September.

The passengers were allowed on the 20 January flight to Medina despite every seat being filled, the airline said.
Details of the flight have only emerged now because of extensive investigations by Dawn newspaper.
Staff had issued additional handwritten boarding passes, the paper reported.
Such an over-crowded flight would have caused problems in an emergency evacuation, aviation experts said, and passengers would not have had access to oxygen if it was suddenly required.
This is the first time the airline is known to have boarded excess passengers on a flight.
The flight in question went from Karachi to Medina carrying a total of 416 passengers, on a Boeing 777 with a total seating capacity of 409, including staff seats.
Dawn accuses Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority of "not taken punitive action against the airline or its staffers for putting the passengers' lives at risk".
The newspaper quoting airline sources accuses PIA ground traffic staff of issuing handwritten - rather than computer-generated - boarding passes to the extra passengers.
It quotes flight captain Anwer Adil as insisting that he was not told about the extra passengers until after take-off.
"I … noticed [that] some people were those who were categorically refused jump [staff] seats by me at the check-in counter before the flight", he was quoted by Dawn as saying.
"I had already taken off and the senior purser did not inform me about extra passengers before closing the aircraft door.
"Therefore after take-off [any] immediate landing back at Karachi was not possible as it required a lot of fuel dumping which was not in the interest of the airline."
PIA spokesman Danyal Gilani told the BBC that "the matter is under investigation and appropriate action will be taken once responsibility is fixed".
When asked how long the inquiry will take, he said it was "not possible to put a time frame on it".
In December, all 48 people on board a PIA plane were killed when it crashed in the north of the country.
At a historic news conference, Mr Castro said if he was given a list of political prisoners, he would "release them tonight".
The White House has said it has given Cuba lists of dissidents in the past.
Mr Castro does not view the prisoners as dissidents, US officials said.
That disagreement is central to the conflict between US and Cuban officials.
More needs to be done to lift the US embargo on trade with Cuba, Mr Castro said, adding that the Guantanamo Bay detention camp must close.
Mr Obama, the first serving US president to visit Cuba since 1959, said the trade embargo would be fully lifted.
"Cuba's destiny will not be decided by the United States or any other nation... The future of Cuba will be decided by Cubans not by anybody else," Mr Obama said.
Mr Obama and first lady Michelle Obama were later welcomed at a state dinner, along with some members of US Congress and senior White House staff.
The Failde Youth Band entertained the guests, who dined on shrimp mousse, cream soup flavoured with rum, and traditional pork with rice and plantain chips. Waiters passed round Cuban cigars after dinner.
Earlier on Monday, Mr Castro defended Cuba's record on human rights and pointed to problems in the US.
"We defend human rights, in our view civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights are indivisible, inter-dependent and universal," Mr Castro said.
Mr Castro is not usually subject to any aggressive questioning from reporters and called the prisoners question "not polite", later ending the news conference by saying "I think this is enough".
"Actually we find it inconceivable that a government does not defend and ensure the right to healthcare, education, social security, food provision and development," he said.
Speaking to ABC News after the conference with Mr Castro, Mr Obama did not directly say he would be giving Mr Castro a list of political prisoners.
"We have given them a lists in the past and they have responded intermittently to our engagement," he said. "And this I think is an example of why it was my belief that this would be a more successful mechanism for us to advance the values that we care about than an embargo and silence and no communications."
President Obama and his aides hoped that the Cuban President, Raul Castro, would approach the news conference with an open mind.
The White House officials also hoped that Mr Castro would be receptive to new ideas and to new ways of doing things. Specifically, the US officials hoped that he'd take questions from reporters. Surprisingly enough, he did, marking a departure from his past.
The two men joked around during the question-and-answer period, and they worked out some of their differences. When one of Mr Castro's aides interrupted his boss during the conference, for example, Mr Obama looked annoyed. But he and Mr Castro moved on, talking about the future of Cuba.
In a similar way, Mr Obama and his aides hope they can overcome other issues, including difficult ones such as human rights, as they forge a new relationship between the two countries.
Mr Obama could not say exactly when the trade embargo would be lifted, but recognised it was necessary.
"The reason is what we did for 50 years did not serve our interests or the interests of the Cuban people," he said.
His administration has done what it can on lifting trade restrictions, he said, but further action will require Congress which is "not as productive in an election year".
He also said further easing of the trade embargo will depend on actions Cuba takes on human rights.

Internet access still restricted in Cuba - Only about 5% of Cubans have web access at home
Mr Obama said it is not just Cuba that the US has "deep disagreements" about human rights with - it also has disagreements with China and Vietnam.
"I believe if I engage frankly, clearly, stating our beliefs but I can't force change on any country - it ultimately has to come from within - that is a more useful strategy," he said. "I have faith in people".
Reporters described the press conference as "tense" and "remarkable".
Karla Olivares, an independent journalist from Cuba, told the BBC that Mr Castro "talked more than usual" and the claim that Cuba does not have any political prisoners was "complicated".
Before the speech, it was announced that Google was opening an online technology centre for free Internet access at much higher speeds than what is available on the island now.
Google hopes the centre will be part of a larger effort to improve Internet access in Cuba.
David McFarlane, 35, Jack Craig, 21, and Robert Prowse, 20, were onboard the Purbeck Isle when it went missing.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report said it was "entirely possible" they could have survived if the raft had inflated.
The report also said the boat lacked distress signal devices, so the coastguard was not alerted for hours.
The boat was not found until the day after it sank, south of Portland Bill at a depth of 164ft (50m).
The MAIB report has strongly advised fishing vessel owners to ensure life rafts are stowed and secured properly.
The fishermen had set off from Weymouth on the wooden potting vessel when it foundered on 17 May last year.
The boat sank so quickly they were unable to broadcast a mayday call, collect their lifejackets or manually launch the vessel's four-man life raft before they went overboard, the report said.
A release unit used to secure the life raft in its cradle activated as the vessel sank.
But the raft failed to float free and inflate because it had not been properly stowed and sank to the seabed.
"Because the life raft canister did not fit snugly into its cradle, the skipper had applied additional lashings to prevent it from falling off the wheelhouse roof in heavy seas," the report said.
"These additional lashings had been intertwined with the life raft's main lashing rope and they prevented the raft from floating free."
The life raft was stowed upside down which would have allowed water to build up, the report said.
Meanwhile, the coastguard was not alerted to the Purbeck Isle's plight for seven hours as it was not fitted with an emergency position-indicating radio beacon or similar distress signalling device.
The body of Mr McFarlane, from Weymouth, was found entangled in ropes attached to Purbeck Isle's two lifebuoys the day after the sinking. The wreck of the vessel was found later that day.
The search for the two missing fishermen was called off on 19 May.
The body of Mr Craig, from Portland, was recovered from the seabed in Lyme Bay by a trawler on 9 August. The body of Mr Prowse, from Weymouth, has not been found.
A spokeswoman from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said it was implementing the recommendations from the MAIB report.
"This was a tragic accident and our deepest sympathies are with the families and friends of the three men who sadly lost their lives.
"Regulations, standards and good safety practices are vital to ensure the safety of lives at sea. Working together with the Fishing Industry Safety Group, we are all keen to nurture improvements in the safety of commercial fishing vessel operations."
The 1314 battle, fought on 23 and 24 June, saw Robert the Bruce defeat the forces of Edward II.
Events including a wreath-laying, an exhibition and guided walks around the battlefield, will lead up to a full-scale re-enactment of the conflict at Bannockburn Live at the weekend.
Clans are to travel from across Scotland and the UK to mark the event.
The battle in 1314 formed a key moment in the Scottish wars of independence, when Edward II marched north in a bid to lift a siege of Stirling Castle.
Despite being heavily outnumbered, Robert's forces triumphed in the two-day battle and forced Edward's armies to retreat with heavy losses.
The victory sealed Scotland's political independence and confirmed Robert's kingship, although it would take another 14 years of fighting and negotiation before the English throne recognised Robert as the rightful king of an independent Scotland.
In one of the first events to mark the anniversary, a group of children laid a wreath at the restored Rotunda at the site of the battle.
The children, representing Stirling, the Highlands and Isles, Turnberry, Yorkshire and Wales, share the heritage of those from across the UK who formed the armies at Bannockburn.
Led by a local young drummer, they walked from the new Bannockburn Visitor Centre to the Borestone marker, where Robert the Bruce is said to have planted his standard the night before the battle.
A genealogy exhibition in partnership with the University of Strathclyde and a fine art exhibition by Iona Leishman is also running through the day at the new visitor centre, which was built as part of a £9m project by the National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland.
The biggest celebration of the battle's anniversary takes places over the weekend at Bannockburn Live, a two-day festival featuring musicians, artists and comedians as well as historic displays and re-enactments.
More than 300 warriors and camp followers will recreate the battle three times a day, in a "brutally realistic" display choreographed by Clanranald, who have worked on Hollywood blockbusters such as Gladiator, Robin Hood and Thor 2.

Terrance Watson, 55, of Napier Avenue, Jaywick, Essex, died a week after being hit in Broadway in the village on 8 July 2013.
Alan Baker, 73, of Brooklands, Jaywick, denied the charge but was found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court.
He has been given a 36-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, and a two-year driving ban.
Mr Watson was crossing the road outside The Stores when he was struck by Baker's Ford Focus.
Det Sgt Catherine Offord, of Essex Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said Baker was driving between 32 and 34mph when the crash happened.
"Coupled with the speed, Mr Baker was faced with a number of hazards as he approached the scene such as a school minibus, pedestrians, junctions and cars to be overtaken.
"He should have reduced his speed to deal with them. Had he done so the collision would not have occurred," she said. | Police have identified a couple who were killed in a crash on the A76 in Dumfries and Galloway at the weekend.

Curtis Allen twice put the Glens ahead but Crusaders levelled twice through a Gavin Whyte penalty and a late goal by former Glens player Richard Clarke.
Linfield are back in second place, Andrew Waterworth (2) and Mark Stafford scoring in a 3-0 win over Carrick.
Fra McCaffrey got both in Ballymena's 2-0 win over bottom club Portadown.
Crusaders' season has been characterised by an ability to score late goals and they repeated the feat to stretch their unbeaten home record to 27 games.
Allen converted from close-range to put the visitors ahead after 11 minutes. However, Jonny Addis' blatant foul on Jordan Owens led to Whyte levelling from the penalty spot.
Glentoran's top scorer struck again just shy of the hour mark, poking Aaron Harmon's cross under keeper Sean O'Neill.
Crusaders poured forward in search of a second equaliser but were met with a resolute Glens defence and an inspired Elliott Morris in goal.
The keeper produced a string of first-rate saves to deny the champions, most notably from a towering Owens header.
Morris was beaten though when Clarke fired a right-footed drive past him for the equaliser with just four minutes remaining.
Morris clashed with a Crusaders supporter at the final whistle after claiming he was spat on.
"I can take all the verbal abuse and name calling - I can take that all day," Morris said.
"But when someone spits at you from two yards it is hard.
"But, listen, it was a good game today and I think both teams were disappointed they did not win."
Linfield made light work of Carrick Rangers at Windsor Park with a convincing 3-0 win.
Striker Waterworth struck twice before defender Stafford wrapped up another three points for David Healy's Blues, who duly responded to Cliftonville's win over Coleraine on Friday night.
Ballymena beat Portadown 2-0 at the Showgrounds to move into fourth thanks to a quickfire double from McCaffrey.
"There were not that many clear cut chances," Ballymena captain Allan Jenkins said.
"We had a lack of quality in important areas but we regrouped at half-time and in the second half we were much better and perhaps shaded a narrow victory.

Olivia Giles OBE was presented with the Robert Burns Humanitarian Award 2015 at a special ceremony at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway.
She set up a charity to provide people in developing countries with prosthetic limbs so they can walk.
The award recognises those who have saved or improved other people's lives.
The award was presented by Minister for Europe and International Development Humza Yousaf in Alloway - Robert Burns' place of birth.
Ms Giles was selected as the winner from 120 nominations - the highest number ever received for the award.
Ms Giles contracted meningitis in 2002 and went into a medical coma during which she suffered from toxic shock and gangrene.
Surgeons had to amputate her hands and feet to save her life.
She was later fitted with prosthetic limbs and learned to walk again.
Since her illness, Ms Giles, 42, has been involved in fundraising in Scotland and the UK for meningitis charities.
She set up the charity 500 Miles with Jamie Andrew, also a quadruple amputee, to help rehabilitate amputees in deprived areas of the world.

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.

VisitScotland has teamed up with online travel and lifestyle publisher Matador Network to produce a two-minute video.
It hopes to boost visitor numbers across the Scottish Borders and Midlothian.

The BBC has seen papers that show England and Wales' College of Policing said there were human rights "risks" but argued this could be monitored.
Rights group Reprieve said the training was "scandalous" and might help Saudi police target activists.
But the college said it could cut the likelihood of miscarriages of justice.
The revelations are contained in documents obtained following Freedom of Information requests from Reprieve and the BBC.
These show that since 2009 the college has provided training to the Saudi Ministry of the Interior in finger-printing, forensics and crime scene investigation, as part of a "trusted professional partnership".
It now wants to expand the training to include cybersecurity, mobile phone analysis, CCTV systems, voice recognition, DNA use and IT digital forensics including decryption and the retrieval of deleted files, documents show.
Maya Foa, who campaigns against the death penalty for Reprieve, warned that mobile phone analysis has, in the past, been used in Saudi Arabia to prosecute protesters, who can then face execution.
The details appear in a form submitted earlier this year to the International Police Assistance Board (IPAB), which vets plans to provide police assistance overseas according to "British values and interests".
In the form, the college noted there were human rights "risks" that "skills being trained are used to identify individuals who go on to be tortured or subjected to other human rights abuses".
But, it said, if it was shown that the skills learned had been used in human rights violations, the Foreign Office and the college would "reconsider the training".
It also said if the college declined to support the training, there might be "wider risks to UK partnerships and trade".
There was also concern raised that media attention might highlight UK involvement in a country with "a poor human rights record".
But the BBC has learned the training has been officially supported by the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) lead for international policing.
Labour MP Andy Slaughter, the shadow minister for human rights, called the document "astonishing", saying: "This is a regime which executed 47 people in one day this year, that still has minors on death row.
"We shouldn't be having anything to do with this criminal justice system."
A relative of one of those executed, who the BBC is not naming, told Radio 4's World At One programme: "Britain shouldn't train them and support them because this is how they continue to get stronger."
But the college argues that through police training, they might improve human rights in Saudi Arabia.
"Decisions to carry out the training must reconcile the difficulties of working with countries whose standards of human rights may be at odds with our own with the opportunity to contribute to reform and address national security concerns," a spokesman for the college said.
"Modern forensic investigation techniques can contribute to a move away from confession and witness-based convictions, helping to ensure innocent individuals are identified quicker and more easily, and reducing the likelihood of miscarriages of justice."
According to the documents, the objectives of the training were diplomatic, development and security benefits, and they highlighted how co-operation with Saudi Arabia on counter-terrorism had helped find a printer cartridge bomb in a cargo plane at East Midlands airport in 2010.
The College of Policing said any payments from Saudi Arabia would only cover costs, not make a profit.
A NPCC spokesman said: "Before any IPAB [application] is approved an Overseas Security Justice and Assistance Human Rights assessment is made", adding that in the most serious cases ministerial approval was required.
The Foreign Office declined to comment on the plans.
Last October, the UK government withdrew from a controversial £5.9m prisons deal with Saudi Arabia, to provide a "training needs analysis" for prison service staff.
Downing Street said the move reflected the government's decision to focus on domestic priorities and was not connected to the case of expat Karl Andree, jailed in Saudi Arabia after being caught with homemade wine.
Police received a report of the 58-year-old man being injured in Udny, near Pitmedden, at about 17.15 on Wednesday.

President Assad made the comments in an address at Damascus University,
His forces have been steadily recapturing rebel-held towns near the Lebanese border for several months.
More than 150,000 people have been killed in the conflict, with millions forced to flee their homes.
"This is a turning point in the crisis," President Assad said.
He added that his army was winning what he called "the war against terror".
Government forces have secured the main north-south highway in Syria in recent months, and have cut off vital supply routes for rebel forces.
President Assad is expected to announce that he will stand for a third term as leader.
The BBC's Lyse Doucet says the comments make clear that he is not willing to stand down despite repeated calls for him to go by armed opposition groups and their Western and Arab backers.
Meanwhile, the Syrian air force carried out bombing raids on areas near Damascus on Sunday, rights groups said.
Activists said 20 people were killed in government air attacks in the Douma suburb.
Syria's official news agency reported that a man was killed and twenty injured in a mortar attack in central Damascus.
On Friday, the government and opposition forces accused each other of using poison gas in the village of Kafr Zita.
The attack killed two people and left dozens injured.
In August last year, a chemical attack near the capital killed hundreds of people.
The young men scaled a barrier and then used suspension wires as handholds to climb to the top of the bridge, which is 156m (510 ft) high.
Humberside Police and the Humber Bridge Board said they were working together to discuss security measures.
Police urged people not to take part in "such potentially hazardous activity".
Charity Humber Rescue also condemned the group's actions.
The climbers, led by London-based vlogger and urban explorer Harry Gallagher, who goes by the name of Night Scape, made the ascent on Monday before posting their antics on Youtube.
The group are seen making a quick exit after CCTV cameras turned on them.
The footage, labelled 'Climbing the tallest bridge in England - Almost caught' has so far had more than 135,000 views.
A spokesperson for the Humber Bridge said: "Although security at the cable access points is sufficient to stop the vast majority of people from gaining access, we are reviewing it."
A police statement said: "We're aware of the incident in question and our security advisors are working with the Humber Bridge Board to discuss ongoing and future security measures.
"From a safety perspective we'd recommend people do not put themselves at risk by taking part in such potentially hazardous activity."
Humber Rescue founder Paul Berriff said he had helped recover 95 bodies from the stretch of water.
"I know all to well what the consequences of being on the bridge can be. This is extremely dangerous and just putting one foot wrong would result in death."
He told the new assembly at its first sitting that the move "heralds a new era for devolved politics at Stormont".
Mr Nesbitt added: "Let battle commence."
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said his party has not decided yet whether it would go into opposition or government.
Earlier, Mr Nesbitt said his party's decision was a "big, bold step forward to normal democracy".
The UUP's 16 assembly members unanimously agreed on the decision to enter opposition.
He said: "We had two tests which would determine whether we went back into the executive.
"The first was whether it was a progressive programme, and it's clear we won't have the answer for that perhaps until the end of the year.
"The second test was whether the DUP and Sinn Féin were going to allow a sort of collective spirit in terms of delivery.
"And in our short discussions over the last two days, it's very clear the DUP and Sinn Féin are going to retain ownership of the programme for government and what's going to be published is motherhood and apple pie.
"We're not really interested in discussing what type of apples go in the pie. Our concerns run a lot deeper than that.
"So, both tests have been failed. We add in the fact that the chief constable says that nothing has changed in terms of the security situations since last October.
"So, on that basis, we're out."
Mr Nesbitt added that opposition would be stronger and there would be a "more honest" executive if the SDLP and Alliance Party joined the UUP in opposition.
He said that he had not talked with the SDLP yet but "would welcome a discussion with Colum at this point".
Mr Eastwood said his party would decide on whether to go into opposition until after talks over a programme for government had finished.
"We're not focused on big announcements. We're focused on working hard to get a programme of government we can sign up to," he said.
"There's been many negotiations over the last number of years and we've always stuck in to the end.
"We wait until all the negotiation is done and then make a decision. That's the right way to do a negotiation."
He added: "We have a job to do, because now we're the only party holding the DUP and Sinn Féin's feet to the fire to achieve a proper progressive programme for government."
Alliance party leader David Ford congratulated Mr Nesbitt on the "soundbite of the day".
"Some of us recognise that government is a bit more substantial than the soundbite of the day" he said.
Martin McGuinness said he was "deeply disappointed" that the UUP had decided to go into opposition.
"I do think that rather than it be seen as leadership, it will be seen as a lack of leadership," he said.
"It will be seen as a lack of the Ulster Unionist Party's ability to accept the democratically expressed wishes of the people who have charged the DUP and Sinn Féin to lead this administration forward."
He added: "We now wait with considerable interest to see if the SDLP are going to stand by the principles of the Good Friday Agreement."
Bahman Daroshafaei was arrested at his home in Tehran on Wednesday, according to the opposition website Kaleme.com.
Mr Daroshafaei, who has dual British and Iranian citizenship, has been working as a translator since leaving BBC Persian about two years ago.
Officials have so far given no reason for his arrest, which came on the eve of a visit to the UK by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
In November, two prominent journalists were arrested as part of what appeared to be a crackdown on writers, artists and other cultural figures in Iran.
A lawyer for Isa Saharkhiz and Ehsun Mazandarani said earlier this week that they had been accused of acting against national security.
Mr Saharkhiz's son linked his arrest to this months' elections for Iran's parliament and Assembly of Experts, in which reformists are hoping to make a comeback.
In October, poets Fatemeh Ekhtesari and Mehdi Mousavi and a filmmaker Keywan Karimi were handed lengthy prison terms by a court after being convicted of charges including "insulting sanctities and propaganda against the state".

The march, organised by Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, was part of a global campaign ahead of the United Nations' meeting in Paris.
The campaign is urging politicians to agree plans to cut carbon emissions.
It is also asking for support for developing countries who are "suffering most from catastrophic climate change".
Marchers gathered at The Meadows before heading to the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens for a rally.
Marchers, who gathered in the rain, were asked to wear bright colours and unite around the slogan Climate, Justice and Jobs.
Organisers said about 5,000 people were at the event, which was also attended by Environment Minister Aileen McLeod.
Dr McLeod said Scotland "wants and expects an ambitious and fair climate treaty to be agreed" at the conference.
She said the Scottish government had "high ambition" for climate change - "with a world-leading target of 42% cut in emissions by 2020 compared to 1990."
Tom Ballantine, chairman of Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, a coalition of 60 organisations, said: "We're proud that so many people in Scotland are coming together to show they care about the fate of others across the world and that they want to protect the planet that we all rely on.
"Scotland and the UK as a whole benefited massively from the era of fossil fuels - now we need to take our fair share of responsibility for the world's growing climate crisis."
At next week's United Nations talks in Paris, international leaders will attempt to agree a deal on cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Patrick Harvie MSP, co-convener of the Scottish Greens, said Scotland could lead the way in the transition from fossil fuels to a low-carbon economy.
He said: "The negotiations in Paris must strike a bold deal to protect our society.
"The trend of rising global temperatures is clear and the impact will be felt by the poorest people in the world. The pollution that has caused this is the responsibility of developed nations such as ours.
"The scientific consensus is clear - we need to leave fossil fuels in the ground if we're to limit the damage that climate change will cause."
Scottish Labour's environmental justice spokeswoman, Sarah Boyack, said her party in government at Holyrood would deliver regulatory change to make warm homes that tackle climate change "a 21st Century reality".
She said: "These are worrying and challenging times for renewables, so the SNP government needs to redouble its efforts to get on with tackling climate change.
"Without the political will to support low- carbon heat and power, we won't tackle fuel poverty and Scottish companies will miss out on becoming leaders in making this globally important technology commercially viable."
The Court of Appeal in London considered mitigating factors including his diagnosis for Asperger's Syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum.
He was previously sentenced in August to 14 years in prison for conspiracy to defraud.
Hayes was the first person to face a jury trial for manipulating the rate.
Libor is used as a benchmark for trillions of pounds of global borrowing and lending.
Many of the world's leading banks have paid heavy financial penalties for tampering with the benchmark.
The final sentence in the Appeal Court judgement on the Tom Hayes case is the one that carries significant weight.
It will serve as a wake-up call to any in the City that may still believe financial crime is somehow not as serious as other crimes.
Or, that because the rules were arguably unclear, the guilt of those involved is debatable.
"This court must make clear to all in the financial and other markets in the City that conduct of this type will result in severe sentences of considerable length," the three Appeal Court judges said.
Yes, Hayes had his sentence reduced slightly, but the court appears to want to make it clear that long sentences for manipulating markets - above the 11 years finally settled on here - could well be handed down in the future.
Lawyers failed to overturn the conviction of the former UBS and Citigroup trader.
Lord Thomas, sitting with Sir Brian Leveson and Lady Justice Gloster, said that none of the grounds of appeal on conviction had any merit.
"Those who act dishonestly in these markets must receive severe sentences to deter others from criminality that is often hard to detect and has such a damaging effect not only on the markets, but more broadly on the general prosperity of the state," he said.
Hayes said in a statement: "Today I lost a battle to have my conviction in relation to Libor overturned.
"Whilst I am immensely disappointed with this result, I am relieved and grateful that the extremely long sentence imposed on me has been reduced."
He added: "I continue to maintain my innocence."
The case was originally brought by the Serious Fraud Office, which said Hayes set up a network of traders over 10 financial institutions and persuaded them to help rig Libor rates for profit.

Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko each scored twice as City tore United - who had Jonny Evans sent off - apart.
Ferguson said: "It's the worst result in my history. The impact will come from the embarrassment of the defeat."
The warning signs have been there for Manchester United in home games against Chelsea, Basle and even Liverpool last week as they all had a host of chances. The defence left Silva in oceans of space at times and for the first goal there wasn't any pressure on the ball. The sending off might have changed the game but it was a horror story for United
Sergio Aguero and David Silva also scored for City in United's biggest Old Trafford defeat since 1955.
Ferguson believes the loss - which ended their run of 19 consecutive home wins in the Premier League - was self-inflicted, and criticised his team's gung-ho approach.
"It was a horrible defeat but it was suicidal," added the United boss.
"Jonny Evans's sending off was a killer for us. With 10 men we kept attacking - it was crazy football and ended up being an embarrassment. We should have just said: 'We've had our day'.
"I believe you shouldn't bring down a man on the edge of the box. Evans is young but he should let Balotelli go through and see what he can do.
"I thought with the experience we've got - Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra - they would have defended more but we just kept attacking. Sometimes there has to be common sense about it. It was a bad day."
Despite the manner of the defeat, Ferguson insisted that United will recover and close the five-point gap that now separates them and City.
"We'll come back," he said. "We usually get the show on the road in the second half of the season and that will have to be the case.
"We've played all the teams around us and they all have to play each other so the second half of the season is important to us now.
"We will react, no question about that. It's a perfect result for us to react to because there is a lot of embarrassment in the dressing room and that will make an impact.
"I can't believe the scoreline. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1. That's a challenge for me too."

The Fermanagh and South Tyrone MP said he provided a statement about a man who was convicted of benefit fraud.
However, the politician insisted he did not make a character reference.
Clive Miller, a former soldier from Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, claimed housing benefit while he owned properties in Spain.
He got income support despite having more than £280,000 in his bank accounts and was overpaid almost £40,000 in benefits between 2002 and 2010.
Miller was was given a suspended jail sentence at Dungannon Crown Court on Monday.
The court heard that his legal team had a reference from "an esteemed source" which spoke "glowingly of his work in the voluntary sector".
Mr Elliott said he is not sure if he is the esteemed source referred too.
However, he said he did provide a statement about Mr Miller but insisted it was not a character reference.
He told the BBC: "I confirmed that I knew him. That is what I was asked. I knew him in the context of him coming to me with constituency issues."
The MP also declared: "I did take the step of writing to the judge to let him know this was not a character reference, in case there was any doubt about it "
Mr Elliott now intends to take the matter further, saying: "Obviously I will be taking it forward with the lord chief justice."
He added: "I would have concerns if that simple acknowledgment or answering the question that I confirmed I knew the person is taken as a reference ".
Miller, of Coleshill Crescent, admitted four charges of failing to declare a change of circumstances to the Social Security Agency.
Two charges of money laundering were left on the books.
The judge sentenced 47-year-old Miller, to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years.
They also have multiple entries in the singles chart, where Drake remains top.
Beyonce's "visual album" sold 73,000 copies, making it the second-fastest selling artist record of 2016, behind David Bowie's Blackstar.
Fifteen of Prince's albums made it into the chart as fans rushed to buy his music following his sudden death.
Six are in the top 40 with The Very Best Of, Ultimate and Purple Rain at two, three and four.
In the midweek chart Prince had held every spot in the top five, but many retailers ran out of physical stock at the start of the week and could not keep up with fan demand. The singer's catalogue is also only available on streaming service Tidal, limiting its reach.
Record label Warner Music, which published most of his classic albums, said more CDs were being pressed this week.
Ultimate, which was released in 2006, reached a new peak at three after first only making it to number six when it was first released in 2006.
The Purple Rain soundtrack at four, is up on its previous peak of seven when it was first released in 1984. Dirty Mind, which entered the chart at 61, did not previously chart in the UK.
Beyonce's Lemonade sold 10,000 copies via streaming - which is the biggest streaming sales since they were introduced into the chart last year.
In the singles chart, Beyonce has six tracks in the top 40 - the highest being Hold Up at 17. Formation, Sorry, 6 Inch, Don't Hurt Yourself and Freedom also made the top 40.
Six Prince tracks entered the top 100, with Purple Rain the highest entry at number six. The track peaked at eight when it was first released in 1984.
When Doves Cry, Kiss, Raspberry Beret, 1999 and Little Red Corvette also all charted.
Drake remained at number one for a third consecutive week with One Dance with sales of 129,000, which include 50,000 downloads and a record-breaking 7.86 million streams.
It is the highest number of track streams in a week ever recorded, beating Adele's Hello which reached 7.32 million plays on its release week in October.
Elsewhere in the album chart Adele's 25 fell out of the top five for the first time since its release in November.
Katherine Jenkins was at seven with Celebration, her album commemorating the Queen's 90th birthday. It is also number one on the classical album chart - giving the singer a record 12th UK classical number one, ahead of violinist Andre Rieu's 11.
Three other new entries in the album chart top 40 were Katy B's Honey at 22, Sandy Denny's I've Always Kept A Unicorn at 31, and Julian Ovenden's Be My Love at 37.
The officer was shot in the arm, according to local broadcaster KSDK, but the circumstances are not known.
Ferguson, a suburb of St Louis, has suffered outbreaks of violence since the shooting dead of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown on 9 August.
He was shot by white policeman Darren Wilson, leading to protests.
St Louis County Police spokesman Brian Schellman told AP news agency that an officer had been shot but he had no further information.
There have been violent clashes between police and demonstrators since the shooting of Mr Brown, 18.
Last week, police in Ferguson said they would not tolerate further violence after protesters looted shops and harassed officers.
Also last week, a street memorial where Mr Brown was shot was burned down in suspicious circumstances.
Police said the cause of the blaze was under investigation, and local residents suspected arson.
A St Louis grand jury has yet to decide whether or not to charge Mr Wilson with Michael Brown's shooting.
It is unclear when they will make a decision. A separate investigation by the US justice department is continuing.
The clubs meet again next Saturday in the second leg of the semi-final and a home draw will be enough to take the team from the Algerian capital into the decider for the first time.
Another Sudanese side, Al Merrikh, fared better in the first semi-final 24 hours earlier in another Omdurman stadium by winning 2-1 against TP Mazembe from DR Congo.
Hilal made the perfect start on Sunday, with Mudather 'Careca' Eltaib scoring after just two minutes before a capacity 35,000 crowd at the Al Hilal Stadium in Omdurman.
But USM shrugged off the stamina-sapping 35 degree celsius night-time heat to level 15 minutes later through recent signing Mohamed Amine Aoudia.
Karim Baiteche scored the 67th-minute match-winner with his first goal of the Champions League campaign.
Just before the decisive goal, Hilal squandered a great chance to regain the lead when Brazilian Andrezinho had a penalty saved.
Hilal were runners-up twice when the competition was called the African Champions Cup, while the best previous showing by USM was reaching the 2003 semi-finals.
Algerian outfit Entente Setif won the Champions League last season, edging Vita Club from the Democratic Republic of Congo on away goals after both legs of the final were drawn.
On Saturday, Al Merreikh of Sudan scored 10 minutes from time to grab a 2-1 first-leg lead over TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo in their semi-final.
Local star Babeker 'Al Medina' Bakri snatched the winner in front of the 45,000 supporters who filled the Omdurman stadium.
Ghanaian Francis Coffie had put semi-finals debutants Merreikh ahead against four-time African champions Mazembe three minutes before half-time.
Thomas Ulimwengu, one of two Tanzanians in the multi-national line-up of the Congolese outfit, levelled for Mazemebe on 77 minutes.
It was the first goal Merreikh had conceded at home in seven Champions League matches this season, and could prove crucial overall.
A 1-0 victory for Mazembe in the southern mining city of Lubumbashi next Sunday would take them into the final on away goals.
Before Saturday's contest, Merreikh coach Diego Garzitto had admitted he was realising a dream by facing Mazembe with his Sudanese club.
The 65-year-old Italy-born handler had steered DR Congo's Mazembe to victory in the premier African club competition six seasons ago.
The first leg of the other semi-final will also be played in Omdurman with Al Hilal of Sudan hosting USM Alger of Algeria on Sunday at a different stadium.
Drug cheat and leading USM Champions League scorer Mohamed Youcef Belaili has been ruled out of the Hilal tie after receiving a two-year international ban this week.
Belaili, who scored four Confederation of African Football goals this season, tested positive for an unspecified banned substance last month after a group victory over fellow Algerians Mouloudia El Eulma.
USM, whose best previous showing was reaching the 2003 semi-finals, are returning to Omdurman two weeks after losing 1-0 to Merrikh in a group game.
Twice runners-up Hilal are a multi-national squad coached by Tunisian Nabil Kouki and captained by Saif Masawi, a defender with a fondness for scoring goals.
The second legs are scheduled for next weekend in Algiers and Lubumbashi.
Tourist guide John Alasdair Macdonald captured his image on a compact camera near Dochfour at about 21:00 on Sunday.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency got calls from people in the Highlands, Dumfries and Galloway and Cumbria concerned it was a distress flare.
Mr Macdonald described his images as a "fluke".
Mr Macdonald said: "I was taking some new pictures to put on my Facebook page using a Sony RX100 compact camera.
"It was a beautiful, clear night and I got some nice pictures but capturing the meteor was a fluke. I will never take a picture like that again."
Mr Macdonald, who runs the business The Hebridean Explorer, said he had seen messages on social media of a meteor being seen elsewhere, including Sleat on Skye.
Meteor sightings were also said to have been made from North Uist, Oban and Mull.
A "meteorite" mistaken for a distress flare also sparked a lifeboat search operation off the English coast on Sunday.
Maryport Coastguard Rescue Team said it received numerous reports of a moving red object over the sea between Workington, Cumbria, and the Isle of Whithorn in Dumfries and Galloway.

The deal for the 17-year-old to be fast-tracked into F1 is part of an investment in Sauber by a group of Russian companies.
A statement from the Swiss team said they would set up a development programme for Sirotkin "to prepare him as racing driver for the team in 2014".
A spokesman added: "The goal would be to have him in our car next year."
Sirotkin races this year in the Formula Renault 3.5 series and lies eighth in the championship, with a best result of second place.
This extensive co-operation will showcase Russian innovation at the pinnacle of motorsport. At the same time, the Sauber F1 Team will have a solid foundation to increase its competitiveness on a long-term basis.
On the face of it, he does not qualify for the 'super-licence' required to be an F1 driver, and would have to win the Renault 3.5 championship to ensure he did.
However, there is a catch-all clause that Sauber could use to argue his case, which states a driver must have "consistently demonstrated outstanding ability in single-seater formula cars".
Sauber's race drivers this year are German Nico Hulkenberg, who is expected to move on next year, and Mexican Esteban Gutierrez, who also owes his presence in the team to sponsorship from his home country.
Sauber have been in financial trouble for some time and the deal with a group of Russian companies secures their future for the next few years.
The spokesman said there had been no change in shareholding at the team "for the time being", with founder Peter Sauber retaining two-thirds of the shares and team principal Monisha Kaltenborn one-third.
The Sauber statement said: "This extensive co-operation will showcase Russian innovation at the pinnacle of motorsport. At the same time, the Sauber F1 Team will have a solid foundation to increase its competitiveness on a long-term basis."
Sauber will also promote Russia's inaugural grand prix in Sochi in 2014.
Teenage Korean amateur Choi Hye-Jin and compatriot Amy Yang are tied in second having both shot two-under-par 70s at Trump National Golf Club.
Fellow Koreans Sung Hyun Park (-6), Mirim Lee, Ryu So-yeon and Jeongeun6 Lee (all -5) complete the top seven.
England's Charley Hull is tied for 18th on one under par after a one-over 73.
Compatriot Georgia Hall hit four birdies but two double bogies to card a five-over 77 and sits in tied 55th place.
Having hit eight bogeys, Scot Catriona Matthew dropped to 57th on six over after a third-round 79.
The 31-year-old understands the criticism of fans who want to see the top talent regularly in action.
But ahead of the first Welsh Pro12 derby in which Ospreys host Cardiff Blues on Friday, Jones backed the dual deals.
"It's a great invention," said Jones.
"Hopefully you can keep that player, look after him and you'll have them for longer."
Jones signed an extension to his national dual contract (NDC) in January 2016 and is among a number of Welsh players whose deals mean 60% of their salaries are met by the WRU with the rest paid by their teams.
However, the two-time British and Irish Lions tourist admits players can be "walking contradictions" over the limits on game time they sign up to when accepting dual contacts.
"There are advantages and disadvantages for the players and supporters alike," said Jones.
"Obviously players want to play a lot of rugby.
"We're walking contradictions at times. We want to play a lot of rugby, but we don't want to play too much rugby and we want to be available for all the big games.
"But then there's times when we might have to sacrifice that because of game limits etc, etc.
"But also from the supporters' point of view if you're paying money for a season ticket you want to see all the best players - or all the perceived best players - playing all the rugby all the time.
"But where we find ourselves with the game now we can't expect to do that because there are so many internationals, so many domestic games, hence the inception of the NDC.
"So the NDCs are advantageous for that."
Ospreys team-mates Dan Biggar, Dan Lydiate and Rhys Webb are among the other Wales international on national dual contracts.
Jones says players who are at a stage at which they are becoming established will benefit most from being on dual deals.
"If you're a 24 to 25-year-old player that's getting on to an NDC and you're established or getting established at a regional or breaking into your international career, you'll be playing in front of the supporters for longer, albeit less games per year, but you'll have them for longer in the country," he said.
"So if we can be as positive and see the foresight that actually we'll potentially get a player for longer, then it's great.
"But obviously we can be short-sighted in that respect sometimes because we're available for less [overall time]."
Ospreys defence coach Brad Davis hopes Wales flanker Lydiate will be declared fit after his recovery from shoulder surgery to face Blues.
The Swansea-based team are aware of the ball-carrying threat posed by Blues' number eight Nick Williams and Lydiate's defensive strengths could be a boost for the hosts.
"Dan's progressing well and hopefully he'll come into selection and give [head coach] Steve [Tandy] a few headaches in terms of the team he wants to pick Friday night," said Davis.
After their 9-7 defeat at Ulster on the weekend, Ospreys lie fifth in the table, two points behind fourth-placed Welsh pacesetters Blues.
Sergey Andreyev said Poland had blocked a coalition against Nazi Germany several times in the run-up to war.
He also said the USSR's invasion of Poland in 1939 was not an aggression.
Relations between Poland and Russia have been poor in recent years, with Poland one of Moscow's sharpest critics over its intervention in Ukraine.
The row comes a day after Poland's ambassador in Moscow was summoned over the vandalising of graves of Soviet soldiers in a Polish village.
Poland has also condemned the desecration at the Milejczyce cemetery.
In an interview with a private Polish TV station aired on Friday evening, Mr Andreyev said that Poland had stood in the way of an alliance against the Nazis.
"Therefore Poland partly bears responsibility for the catastrophe that ensued in September 1939," he said, referring to the Nazi invasion of Poland.
He appeared to be referring to Poland's refusal to allow the transit of Soviet troops through its territory.
Mr Andreyev also said that the Soviet invasion of eastern Poland later that month was not an aggression but "to ensure the safety of the USSR" when the outcome of the German invasion of Poland was already clear.
The ambassador added that relations between Poland and Russia were at their lowest ebb since 1945, because Poland had frozen political, cultural and humanitarian contacts.
The Polish Foreign Ministry said Mr Andreyev had "undermined historical truth".
"We take it as a lack of respect for the memory of the victims of the NKVD [Soviet secret police]," it said in a statement, referring to the repression which followed the Soviet invasion.
The move comes after last week's suspension of a referendum process seeking to remove Mr Maduro.
The government said the vote was meaningless, referring to an earlier court ruling that had declared parliament illegitimate.
President Maduro later accused MPs of attempting to stage a "coup".
What is behind the crisis in Venezuela?
He said a meeting of the country's defence council would be held on Wednesday.
The further rise in tensions comes despite the fact that on Monday both the government and the opposition agreed to hold crisis talks.
During Tuesday's session, MPs also voted for President Maduro to appear before parliament in a week's time.
"We will show clearly to Venezuela and the world that in this crisis, responsibility for breaking the constitution has clearly been Nicolas Maduro's," parliament majority leader Julio Borges said.
Reacting to the vote, Vice-President Aristobulo Isturiz said that "legally, the National Assembly does not exist".
He was referring to the Supreme Court's ruling that parliamentary resolutions were null and void until the removal of three MPs linked to vote-buying accusations.
The parliament's trial of Mr Maduro is unlikely to result in any sort of action against him, the BBC's Will Grant in Central America reports.
The country's military top brass also delivered an address on national television supporting the Socialist government. The army said it was watching the political situation carefully.
Mr Maduro, a former bus driver and union leader, is blamed by the opposition for Venezuela's dire economic situation. The oil-rich country is facing widespread food shortages and spiralling inflation.
The opposition is trying to hold a recall referendum that would allow Mr Maduro to be removed from office - but electoral authorities suspended the process last week.
The official reason was allegations of fraud during the gathering of signatures for the first petition required to enable the referendum.
However, opposition lawmakers have long accused the National Electoral Council of being under the government's control.
In an emergency parliamentary session on Sunday, MPs approved a resolution accusing Mr Maduro's government of engaging in "an ongoing coup d'etat".
The Organization of American States (OAS) also said it was "profoundly worried" by the electoral authorities' decision.
Hundreds of students protested on Monday in San Cristobal, a city near the Colombian border. Nationwide protests are planned for Wednesday.
Mr Maduro has accused the opposition of having links to foreign states, the US in particular, and of seeking to overthrow him to "lay their hands on Venezuela's oil riches".
Keane said last week that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho had been talking "garbage" and that he was "sick to death" of the Portuguese.
Coleman said his "ears will be closed" to anyone but Republic counterpart Martin O'Neill this week.
"He's a shrewd and intelligent man and he's done a great job," said Coleman.
"If Martin says something, I'll pay attention to that as he's one of the managers I respect the most."
Wales go into Friday's game at Dublin's Aviva Stadium third in the group, four points behind the table-topping Republic.

And, though tensions will be high, Coleman is not expecting any incidents on the touchline.
"Sometimes it gets the better of you, but nothing's going to happen," he said.
"I've only ever reacted if the opposition manager or coach has said something derogatory about one of my players.
"If it's going to get a little bit spiky, it's not really my style. I'll be concentrating on what we need to do against the Republic."
Coleman says his team must match their opponents' "togetherness".
"They've probably had more gifted teams, but this is a together team who work for each other," he said. "That's down to Martin."
Liverpool teenager Ben Woodburn has been included in the squad, and the 17-year-old could win his first cap from the bench.
But Wales' main dangerman remains Gareth Bale - and Coleman says the Real Madrid forward has made a full recovery from ankle surgery.
Bale completed Real's 2-1 La Liga win at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, but it was only his sixth appearance since the end of November.
"It's always a worry because when he got injured he was out for three months," Coleman said.
"I was out in Madrid last month and having a chat and watching him train put my mind to rest.
"He's an absolute specimen, a machine. He won't be undercooked. He's ready."
The famous Cold War nuclear warplane crossed Woodford Aerodrome near Stockport, where it was made in the 1960s, at about 15:20 BST.
It will be grounded later this month after backers withdrew support.
Huge crowds have gathered to catch a last glimpse of the plane on the first of a two-day tour of the UK .
The bomber, introduced as part of the UK's nuclear programme during the Cold War, saw action during the 1982 Falklands War.
A part of the RAF since 1952, the last remaining model left service in 1993 according to organisers Vulcan to the Sky.
The XH558 bomber will make a flypast tour over the southern half of the UK on October 11 as police warned against making efforts to see it take off and land at Robin Hood Airport near Doncaster.
It will then make one final flight towards the end of October, details of which are yet to be confirmed.
His climbing partner, Jamie Fisher died of hypothermia. My brother, now 45, survived but had to have all four limbs amputated to save his body from septic shock.
Since then my "limbless mountaineer" sibling has been attempting to push back the boundaries of what people with disabilities can achieve.
His latest venture has been to encourage other people with disabilities to try rock climbing.
He was one of the organisers behind Scotland's first paraclimb competition, held at the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena near Ratho on Sunday. I went along to see what he was up to.
Media playback is not supported on this device
When you walk into the world's largest indoor climbing arena, you can't fail to be impressed. Built into an old rock quarry, it boasts thousands of square metres of wall with routes of up to 28m high.
At first glance I can see that the walls are busy with people carefully, methodically and gracefully scaling the walls.
Then I notice some of the climbers have a prosthetic leg or a missing arm. On the ground are a couple of discarded wheelchairs, and a guide dog left to watch.
As we walk around my brother causally reels off introductions: Keith, an amputee base jumper; Alan, who lost a leg in motorbike accident; Cody, a US war veteran...
Jamie adds quickly: "But I don't want to imply rock climbing is just for people into extreme thrills."
As if to illustrate his point, I turn round and see a boy who looks about three or four, climbing on a wall behind me.
There is something very natural about climbing. It presents a physical challenge, as well as an exercise in problem solving.
It's an individual sport which can be done at any level, yet it also involves selfless team work between climbing partners.
There's not much difference between able-bodied climbing and paraclimbing.
Many paraclimbers can simply compensate for their disabilities through ingenuity and gutsy determination.
But there are also adaptive devices available, such as special harnesses and pulley systems, and prosthetic climbing feet for leg amputees.
"Paraclimbing is entirely inclusive," explains Jamie. "We don't care if your disability is a physical one, or whether it's a mental disability.
"I believe everyone should have the chance to try climbing and see if it's something they enjoy, and even to be able compete at the highest level.
"Two weeks ago I wasn't sure if anyone would show up, but there are about 30 people taking part in the competition another 30 or so have turned up for the 'come and try' session."
Ryan MacDonald, 33, a successful wheelchair tennis player, is one of those trying climbing for the first time.
After trying out the pulley system, he says he'll definitely be coming back with his kids.
"It's so refreshing to see that the guys here are so open," he says. "Even if someone comes along with a disability that doesn't seem to be catered for, they'll make sure it happens for them.
"A lot of times those people would have been left as spectators.
"With disability sport, it's sometimes just seen as a separate disability club, but this is something you can come and take part with your friends and family, which I think is absolutely massive for people."
I watch Kat Langton stand up from her wheelchair and walk tentatively over to climb a wall, leaning on both her boyfriend and coach.
The 22 year old has cerebral palsy, which affects her muscle control and movement.
"For me climbing is basically freedom," she tells me later. "I get on the wall and it's like I'm free, just like everyone else.
"Someone actually once said to me that I don't look any different from anyone else when I'm on the wall, and that is the essence of climbing for me."
She's right - on the wall her limb movement looks incredibly strong and controlled.
Cody Elliott has such a "big fire" in his heart for paraclimbing that he's travelled from California especially for the event.
Three years ago the 24-year-old was blown up by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Afghanistan.
The US veteran suffered facial injuries and his left leg was amputated above the knee.
He says: "I've seen the worst it can get for people in terms of pain medication and not wanting to live life again.
"Just last year in 2013 I was in an bad place, but since I found rock climbing it's saved my life.
"I truthfully believe in my mind it can save other people's lives.
"If I could come all the way from the States and influence a couple of lives here, hopefully they can take that into their own community."
Cody's spirit of comradeship and support is evident in all the competitors.
Even though these climbers are taking part in a competition, they shout up encouragement and offer suggestions on how to master tricky moves. Everyone cheers when someone reaches the top of a climb.
The biggest cheer of the day goes to Ethan Brown who is trying climbing for the first time.
The six-year-old from Musselburgh has brittle bone disease, which has prevented his bones from growing properly and means he has to use a wheelchair.
The slightest of knocks can cause his bones to fracture. Understandably his parents find watching him scale the wall a nail-biting experience.
The arena holds its breath as Ethan towers higher and higher above his wheelchair, laughing, kicking and shouting: "higher" each time he edges further into the sky.
Watching the pure joy on Ethan's face proves to me that everyone should indeed have the opportunity to try rock climbing.
A day earlier, Jamie and the other event organisers held a paraclimb training day for climbing wall instructors from throughout Scotland.
"Things don't end here today," he says. "We want anyone with a disability to be able to go to their local climbing wall and have their needs catered for.
"We want to ensure paraclimbing continues to grow as a sport in Scotland."

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

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

Family and friends of Ms Fawell attended a funeral service followed by a private function.
Ms Fawell and Ms Davis Osborne were waiting to collect their children when the attack took place.
Her daughter, Charlotte Fawell, 15, was taken to hospital in Oldham, with Ms Davis Osborne left seriously injured.
Adam Fawell, her 29-year-old son, previously said: "Mum was a wonderful woman, she'll be sadly missed.
"I would like to add how much it means to us what everybody at home and in Manchester have done to support us at this time."
Ms Davis Osborne, who wore bright clothing to the funeral in tribute to her friend, described Ms Fawell as "very caring and loving".
She said: "I think about it all of the time, when I go to bed I just see me and Wendy walking into the foyer, that's all I see when I shut my eyes.
"I can't see an end to how I feel at the moment, I'm still finding it really difficult to comprehend what happened and Wendy isn't coming back."

Fatima Dyczynski, 25, described as a "bright" and "ambitious" aerospace engineer, had been working in the Netherlands, a long way from her family.
Making her way home to see her parents in Australia, she was one of 298 victims killed when the Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot down on 17 July last year.
Ten days later, her parents, Angela and Jerzy Dyczynski, were the first relatives of the 38 Australian victims to arrive at the crash site in eastern Ukraine, ignoring the Australian Government's travel warnings.
As they flew back to Perth in Western Australia, facing the incomprehensible reality that their daughter would not be coming home, the Dyczynskis clutched a small, symbolic keepsake from the crash site: a bag of sunflower seeds.
When they landed, Australian Customs made the heartbreaking decision to confiscate the seeds because of the island nation's strict quarantine laws.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Australian journalist Paul McGeough and photographer Kate Geraghty were still at the scene of the crash, and hatching a plan to import some of the sunflower seeds from the site.
They wanted to give the families back home a tangible connection to the foreign resting place of the Australian victims.
It was a year-long mission that saw a batch of seeds cross three continents to arrive at a bio-security compound in Melbourne.
In a phone interview from his base in Washington DC, Mr McGeough, chief correspondent for Fairfax Media, told the BBC he had expected some issues with Australian quarantine.
What he did not anticipate was the lengths staff in Australia's Agriculture Department would go to - literally - bring the project to life.
Last December, he wrote about the sunflower project in a Fairfax newspaper column in the hope of reaching out to relatives.
"It is quite a decision to make about how you intrude on the grief of people after a disaster such as this," Mr McGeough said.
Department of Agriculture official Nicola Hinder contacted the seasoned war correspondent after she read the story and talked to him about the risks of bringing foreign seeds into the country.
For various reasons, sunflower seeds are deemed high risk imports.
Mr McGeough was cautious about trusting Ms Hinder - whom he has since dubbed the Quarantine Queen - but he now says he and Ms Geraghty "could not have done it without her".
When the seeds arrived in Canberra, Ms Hinder and her team set about cultivating sunflower plants in a secure quarantine facility.
In turn, those plants generated a new batch of seeds. If those seeds were free of pests and disease they could be safely distributed to the families.
And so it turned out.
By March this year, the plants had grown to about 1.5m (5ft) and by June there were enough high-quality seeds to fill 200 packets.
Mr McGeough said the Dyczynskis were "ecstatic" to learn the seeds had finally been cleared for delivery.
He described the symbolism of the sunflower in the face of the devastation wreaked by the crash on so many people.
"All these nodding heads in a field hiding below what is an abomination, much of the bodies and possessions obscured beneath a comforting blanket of sunflower heads," he said.
Ms Hinder credits many people for the project's success.
"There are a lot of unsung heroes along the way," she told the BBC, adding that her entire department felt "immense pride" that they were entrusted with handling the seeds and to be able to help bring a memento to the loved ones and relatives.
Photojournalist Kate Geraghty saw firsthand how much the second-generation seeds meant for families like the Dyczynskis.
She recently watched the West Australians plant a seed for their daughter at a friend's orchard where Fatima stayed when she first arrived in Australia as a teenager.
"Angela (Fatima's mother) was in tears, as was I," Ms Geraghty said.
Relatives and friends of all of the 38 Australian victims have contacted the two journalists asking for some of the seeds and dozens more requests have come from abroad.

At his swearing-in ceremony, Mr Rouhani said Iran would continue to abide by the terms of the deal as long as the other signatories do the same.
The White House says Iran is complying with the deal but Mr Trump says Iran is violating its spirit.
Last month the US state department announced new sanctions on the country.
The US says the sanctions relate to Iran's missile programme and alleged support for terror groups but Tehran says they violate the nuclear deal.
Mr Rouhani - being sworn in for a second term after winning presidential elections in May - said he had nothing to do with "newcomers to the world of politics" and urged "old-timers" to see the nuclear deal as an example of how to manage international relations.
"Those who want to tear apart the JCPOA [nuclear deal] should know that they would also be tearing apart their political life," he said in a ceremony broadcast live on state TV.
He accused the US of a "lack of commitment" to the deal and said it was an "unreliable partner".
Meanwhile Iranian officials have been urging Europe not to side with the Trump administration.
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said Mr Trump was "trying to destroy the nuclear accord at Iran's expense" and said "Europe should be conscious of this", private Tasnim news agency said.
Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, asked Europe to "take a more independent policy towards Iran", state media reported.
Mr Rouhani won 57% of the vote in May's election after promising to create jobs and build bridges with the outside world.
In Iran the ultimate power lies with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He has been ruling the country for nearly three decades, increasingly like an absolute monarch.
Constitutionally he has power to lay down the general guidelines. He is commander-in-chief with the power to declare war or peace and appoint all the top generals, as well as the head of the judiciary.
Informally he has been demanding to approve ministers in several key ministries. All this leaves little to the president.
But the supreme leader is not elected - he is chosen by a group of clergymen. In May, nearly 24m people voted for Mr Rouhani - a source of power that the hardliners, even the supreme leader, cannot ignore.
Dozens of world dignitaries attended Mr Rouhani's inauguration at Iran's parliament, reflecting an easing in Iran's isolation since the nuclear deal.
Guests included EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and the chairman of the North Korean parliament, Kim Yong-nam, signalling a growing closeness between Tehran and Pyongyang particularly over defence matters.
Last month, the US state department accused Iran of undermining stability, security and prosperity in the Middle East.
It criticised Iran's support for the Syrian government and groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas and accused it of prolonging the conflict in Yemen by providing support for Houthi rebels.
The state department announcement came a day after the Trump administration certified that Tehran was complying with its nuclear deal obligations.
A new 420-place primary school is planned for the Montague Park housing development, with a £17m secondary school proposed for Arborfield.
The borough council's executive committee has approved the development of the Arborfield scheme proposals.
It has also agreed that potential sponsors be invited to express interest in running the Montague Park school.
The report about the Arborfield secondary school plans, said the Department for Education (DfE) guidance indicates it would cost £17m to build.
It said projections indicate a new school would be "viable and necessary" to serve the south of the borough by 2016. The school would be either a Free School or an Academy, it added.
Under the Montague Park school proposal, there would be an option to create up to 630 pupil places, the report stated.
It comes as the Brazilian real nears a five-year low against the US dollar.
The real and other emerging market currencies have fallen steadily over the last three months on speculation of higher US interest rates.
The central bank said it would spend $500m a day on Mondays to Thursdays and $1bn on Fridays buying reais in the currency markets.
The Monday-to-Thursday interventions will target currency swap markets - financial derivatives used by companies and investors to hedge their currency exposure - while on Fridays, the central bank will buy the national currency directly in return for US dollars.
The interventions will run up until December.
"This shows the firm determination of monetary authorities to keep the exchange rate from slipping further," said Andre Perfeito, chief economist at Gradual Investments in Sao Paulo.
It is the first time the central bank has pre-announced daily interventions in this way since 2002 - a time when markets were speculating over a possible Brazilian debt default, following the financial collapse of neighbouring Argentina and with the imminent election of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
The weaker currency is raising the cost of imports, which in turn increases the cost of living for Brazilians and raises concern that inflation could get out of control.
By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service Economics correspondent
It's a response to something that hasn't even happened yet. Currencies across the emerging markets have been under the cosh because the US Federal Reserve is rolling up its sleeves and getting ready to… well, to stop doing something.
The Fed will at some stage reduce the $85bn a month it's pumping into the markets. Already the mere expectation is reducing the flow of cheap money to emerging economies and it will have far-reaching effects on their international trade and financial markets.
Indonesia has also announced new measures - tax changes to stimulate exports and reduce imports.
The responses will vary from country to country, but the impending changes at the US Fed are now the big challenge for many emerging economies.
And, bizarrely you might think, it's all because the US economy is gradually getting stronger and has less need of the Fed's strong medicine.
It could also put pressure on any Brazilians who have taken on large debts, particularly if the debts are denominated in foreign currency.
Brazil and India have been at the brunt of the recent change in market sentiment, with the real down 16% against the dollar since May.
Both countries benefited from inflows of foreign money over recent years as investors and speculators have been able to borrow cheaply in the dollar.
That process now appears to be unwinding, as the long-term cost of borrowing rises on speculation that the US Federal Reserve is preparing to curtail its monetary stimulus programme, perhaps as soon as next month.
Another victim of the loss of market confidence in emerging markets has been Indonesia, whose currency, the rupiah, has fallen to a four-year low.
Indonesia's finance minister has announced measures to return the country to a trade surplus, including the lifting of restrictions on mineral exports and the imposition of taxes on imports of luxury cars and branded products.
Concerns over Brazil have been heightened by inflation rising well above 6% in recent months, and doubts about the central bank's willingness and ability to contain it.
The country suffered from hyperinflation in the 1980s and 1990s, although price rises have remained in single digits ever since.
The central bank faces a difficult dilemma. The weak currency and rising inflation would normally be tackled by higher interest rates.
However, the country's economy has ground to a halt as Chinese demand for the country's mineral exports has weakened.
The authorities' room for manoeuvre has also been limited by recent street protests.
A helicopter has been deployed to help firefighters tackle the blaze which covers over 100 hectares (247 acres) in Wattsville near Crosskeys on Thursday.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service say it was started deliberately.
A total of 12 fire appliances and water bowsers, as well as a mobile command unit, were sent to the incident on Wednesday night.
So far, it has affected about 300 hectares (741 acres) making it the biggest such grass fire this year.
Fire crews in south Wales have dealt with over 620 deliberately-set grass fires since 1 April.
In Wattsville, the blaze is near an industrial area where Tata Steel has a plant.
William Hill said it took the decision after canvassing views from a number of major shareholders.
Last week, its biggest investor, Parvus Asset Management, heavily criticised the tie-up.
Canada's Amaya, which owns PokerStars, said that remaining independent was the best move for shareholders.
Amaya said: "Discussions have concluded, and Amaya and William Hill have determined that they will no longer pursue the merger."
News of the talks emerged earlier this month, with William Hill saying a merger would create "a clear international leader across online sports betting, poker and casino".
However, Parvus said the deal had "limited strategic logic" and would "destroy shareholder value".
The FTSE 250 bookmaker is looking to keep up as many of its close rivals merge. Paddy Power and Betfair have merged to create a FTSE 100 betting firm, while Ladbrokes and Coral are combining to become the UK's biggest High Street bookmaker.
Ladbrokes reported a 12% rise in third-quarter revenue on Tuesday, boosted by online growth and poor results for fan-favourites Manchester United and Barcelona.
William Hill, which ousted its chief executive in July after a string of profit warnings, saw off a takeover approach from casino firm Rank and online operator 888 two months ago.
Meanwhile, Amaya's shares have fallen 30% in the past 12 months amid an insider trading investigation into its former chief executive, the threat of a $870m (£710m) fine in Kentucky, and slowing prospects for online poker.
The bank is allocating £450m for SME loans north of the border this year - £50m more than in 2015.
It said the increase was in response to growing demand for financing from smaller firms.
The money is part of a £10bn SME lending fund which HSBC is allocating regionally across the UK this year.
HSBC said it was also offering a broader package of support for Scottish SMEs, including a free banking offer of up to 18 months for start-ups.
Susan Rowand, HSBC's head of business banking in Scotland, said: "We want to be the bank of choice for Scottish SMEs, reinforced through our desire to lend more to local businesses, by committing the funds to do so, and by making banking easier and cheaper to help our customers grow.
"There is a strong desire from ambitious local SMEs to grow their businesses, and we are responding by ensuring HSBC is providing the funds they need to realise these ambitions."
Europe Minister David Lidington was in Edinburgh for talks with his Scottish government counterpart Fiona Hyslop.
He said there was a "clear legal position" that "we have to leave the EU".
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said ruling out any options for Scotland would be "seriously premature".
Voters in Scotland backed remaining in the European Union by 62% to 38%, while the UK as a whole voted 52% to leave in a referendum on 23 June.
The Scottish government has pledged to study all possible options for the future - one could include a special deal allowing Scotland to retain access to the EU, another could be a second independence referendum.
Asked if there was a way Scotland could remain in the EU, Mr Lidington said: "The legal position is very clear, we have to leave the EU, before you can apply to be a member again, and the Spanish government has made it very clear that they don't see this as a prospect.
"The important thing is that the Scottish government works very closely with the UK government to get the very best possible deal for Scotland and its people in the forthcoming negotiations."
When asked if Scotland's future relationship with the EU would be from the outside, he replied "yes".
Mr Lidington added: "I'm very sad about the result, but it has to be respected."
Ms Sturgeon said she would not read too much into Mr Lidington's comments, adding that there might not even be a Europe minister when the new UK government is set up following the Tory leadership contest.
The first minister said she remained of "the very firm view that Scotland voted to remain in the EU", and that her job was to make sure all options were considered to "achieve that outcome".
She said: "For anyone to rule out these options before they've been considered is seriously premature.
"We have no sense of how things are going to move forward. The complete lack of planning [from the UK government] has been exposed over the last few days.
"The fundamental point is that Scotland didn't vote to leave the EU. Scotland voted to stay in the EU and that should be our starting point of principle."
The first minister later tweeted BBC Scotland business and economics editor Douglas Fraser to underline her view that the legal position on Scotland remaining in the EU remains to be clarified.
Mr Lidington also met members of the first minister's Standing Council on Europe, as well as Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson.
Ms Davidson said she had stressed the importance of the European single market to Scotland's economy, and the "over-riding priority" to retain access to it.
She added: "We both agreed that it is vital for the voice of Scotland to be heard in these talks, and that the Scottish government should be involved at all stages of the negotiations.
"Protecting our trade with the European Union will boost our economy, sustain jobs and help to fund vital public services."
Marler apologised to Lee for calling him a "Gypsy boy" during Saturday's Six Nations match at Twickenham.
Gatland made his comment on Tuesday, but, in a statement on Wednesday, said: "I don't condone racism of any kind."
Lee added: "I personally believe the comments to have been intended as banter and accepted Joe's apology."
After Gatland referred to Saturday's incident as "banter", ex-Wales captain Gareth Thomas tweeted: "I'm sorry, but I cannot agree with this as banter. Poor excuse."
Romany Gypsy advocate and activist Shay Clipson earlier told BBC Radio Wales Gatland should be "held accountable" for his comment.
Cardiff North Welsh Assembly member and former MP Julie Morgan said on Twitter: "Gatland dismissing 'gypsy boy' taunt as 'banter' has sent rugby backwards."

Gatland's statement continued: "I apologise for any offence my use of the word banter may have caused.
"My intention was to take the focus away from Samson, a private individual, and enable him and the rest of squad to prepare for the final game of the championship.

A Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) statement added: "The WRU does not condone racism of any kind. The incident is being investigated by the Six Nations and we would welcome a definitive and speedy conclusion to their investigation.
"The WRU recognises that Warren's overriding intention was to protect Samson by playing down the incident and that his comments were made following a thorough consultation with Samson and with his support."
In the same statement, Lee, who is from a Traveller background, added: "I stand beside Warren.
"Warren is fiercely protective of the team and his comments were made based on conversations with me and with the intention of deflecting attention away from me."
The body of Mohammed Abdurezek, 31, was found in Gibbs Lane, Siston, at 10.10am on Saturday.
Officers want to retrace his steps in the hours before his death, locate his mobile phone and identify the vehicle he was transported in.
A post-mortem examination confirmed Mr Abdurezek died of multiple stab wounds.
Det Ch Insp James Riccio, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: "We have a team of officers and staff working tirelessly to find out who killed Mohammed and why.
"We don't believe he was murdered at the location where his body was found, and we're actively tracing his movements in the hours and days leading up to his death to establish where he was killed.
"Our focus is also on trying to identify the vehicle used to transport Mohammed's body to Siston and CCTV is being examined from the local area."
Police would like to speak anybody who may have seen a suspicious vehicle, or a parked vehicle, in the area around Siston Lane between the evening of 21 December and Christmas Eve morning.
Mr Abdurezek was based in Bristol but had links to other locations in the UK, including Swansea and Newcastle.
Mr Riccio added: "We're in contact with some of Mohammed's friends and associates to try to trace any family members or next of kin, who we believe live abroad.
"I firmly believe someone has information which could help establish who killed Mohammed. I'd ask them to call us immediately."
Six per cent of pupils aged under 11 said they had used e-cigarettes, compared to 2% who had tried tobacco, the Cardiff University study found.
Six per cent of 10 to 11-year-olds and 12% of 11 to 16-year-olds said they had used an e-cigarette at least once.
Only 15 to 16-year-olds asked said they smoked tobacco more than e-cigarettes.
The research, carried out on behalf of the Welsh government, used data from two national surveys conducted in 2013-14 involving primary and secondary school pupils.
The study found:
The Welsh government's chief medical officer, Dr Ruth Hussey, said she was concerned e-cigarettes could normalise smoking among a generation which had grown up in a largely smoke-free society.
"This research demonstrates that e-cigarettes are being used by young people who have never smoked," she said.
"We should be doing everything we can to prevent a new generation becoming addicted to nicotine, because it is a highly addictive substance and has been shown to impact on brain development."
She added a Welsh government white paper would set out proposals to restrict the use of e-cigarettes in public places in line with restrictions on conventional cigarettes in a bid to protect people's health.
If approved, Wales could be the first part of the UK to ban them in enclosed public places.
The ex-PM said the scheme, which he set up during his time in office, was "the Big Society in action".
The NCS aims to prepare teenagers for work through team-building activities and community projects.
Mr Cameron will be chairman of NCS Patrons, aiming to make the course "a normal part of growing up".
Having resigned as prime minister in the aftermath of the EU referendum, Mr Cameron also quit his Parliamentary seat last month.
In an article he has written for the Daily Telegraph, he said setting up the NCS was one of his proudest achievements, with more than 275,000 having taken part.
He said it was "building bridges across social divides", creating lifelong friendships between teenagers and "building the soft skills, the resilience, the self-confidence and the creativity that can help them get on in life".
He said his new role would involve "bringing together a senior cross-party and cross-sector group of patrons and ambassadors who can help NCS to reach more youngsters".
"By bringing together expertise from every part of society we can embed NCS in our national fabric," he said, adding that he hoped to "make it a reality for generations to come".
The former PM said he was "delighted" his successor, Theresa May, was pressing ahead with a National Citizen Service Bill, which would put the NCS on a permanent legal footing.
"But making NCS a rite of passage requires more than political leadership," he added.
"It requires leadership from every part of society."
NHS Highland's plan for the future shape of maternity services at the hospital in Wick was raised at First Minister's Questions (FMQs).
The move is opposed by a local campaigners who want obstetricians to still be available to the hospital.
Pregnancies with complications are to be handled in Inverness under the plan.
Inverness' Raigmore Hospital is about 102 miles (165 km) from Wick.
At FMQs in Holyrood, Conservative MSP Edward Mountain told how a woman was in labour in an ambulance while being taken from Wick to Inverness.
He said women giving birth faced a journey time of two-and-a-half hours to get from Caithness to the city hospital by road ambulance, and longer if the weather was bad.
Caithness General maternity services
Ms Sturgeon said NHS Highland's plan was backed by a review of maternity services at Caithness General.
She said the health board was not proposing to consult on setting up a Community Midwife Unit (CMU) at Wick, and the plan would not be put before ministers.
The first minister said: "However, they are proposing to consult widely on the proposal to strengthen services in Raigmore and provide facilities for parents to make sure they meet local concerns.
"I hope all members will recognise that where a report makes a recommendation on the basis of patient safety, and it is clearly on the basis of patient safety, it is incumbent upon the local NHS board to act accordingly."
The £58m facility will house the university's School of Computing Science, with 1,500 staff and students.
It is the latest addition to the £250m Science Central project - a partnership between academia, the public sector, business and industry.
The site, a former colliery, was the home of Newcastle Brown Ale, until production moved to Gateshead in 2005.
Professor John Fitzgerald, a lead member of the university's Science Central team, said: "This is a significant step in the design and development of the Urban Sciences Building and gives us an opportunity to make the plans more widely available to staff, students, our key partners in business and industry and the public.
"The vision for the Science Central site is urban sustainability underpinned by digital technology and the School of Computing Science will be central to that plan."
The Romanian international, 27, played 18 games for the Premier League champions last season but was allowed to leave the club on a free transfer.
Pantilimon is Sunderland's third signing this summer and will vie with Vito Mannone for the number one spot.
"It is a great privilege and honour to join a club like Sunderland," he said.
He joins Jordi Gomez and Billy Jones as manager Gus Poyet's free transfer acquisitions at the Premier League club.
Pantilimon added: "Sunderland have an amazing history and tradition and, of course, passionate fans.
"When I left Manchester City it was important that I chose a club with good ambition and a manager who has the hunger and desire to take the team forward.
"After speaking with the boss, I knew this was the right place and he was the right man. I can't wait to start."
Artist Marc Treanor knew he had to pay tribute to his music idol, so he did it in the only way he knew how.
He visited his favourite beach, Mwnt, near Cardigan in Ceredigion, and recreated Bowie's last album cover, Blackstar, in a sand circle.
The "simple" work of art was created in just an hour using only a rake, string and some sticks.
"Bowie has been such a key figure in my life, and it's very strange when someone who was important to you, but had never met, dies," he said.
"Mwnt is one of my favourite beaches and I felt I just had to do something."
Mr Treanor said his hobby is rapidly turning into a job.
"It all started off on a beach in north Cornwall - the kids and I thought we could re-create the crop circles on the sand and that was about seven or eight years ago," he said.
"I love it."
The incident happened at the Auchenharvie filling station in Boglemart Street at about 07:45 on Saturday.
The man is expected to appear at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court.
The prestigious Palme d'Or is to be handed out, having been chosen from a selection of 19 films in competition.
The jury, headed by Spanish director Pedro Almodovar and including Jessica Chastain and Will Smith, select winners for acting, writing and directing too.
Film critics have given the BBC their views on the hits and misses from the festival.
Jon Frosch, reviews editor at The Hollywood Reporter, said: "My favourite was French film BPM (Beats Per Minute), about AIDS activists. It's a really no-nonsense drama - both a group portrait of activists and a love story. It is really unsentimental, beautifully done, and would be my choice for the Palme d'Or."
He also had praise for Good Time - a heist film set in New York about a man trying to free his brother from jail - and The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), starring Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson and Ben Stiller, about a dysfunctional family coming together amid a crisis.
"I also really, really liked the Safdie brothers film Good Time," said Frosch.
"It's a very dynamically shot crime thriller with a great performance from Robert Pattinson, who has a really good Queens accent - he's fantastic. He's magnetic and doesn't have any of those methody mannerisms that pretty actors can sometimes do when playing low-lifes.
"And I really liked Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories, which I thought was his most mellow film in a long time. Another surprise, other than Pattinson, was Adam Sandler in that movie - he was just really funny and tender."
Finn Halligan, chief film critic at Screen Daily, said this year's offering was not up to the standard of last year - which saw the Palme d'Or go to Ken Loach for I, Daniel Blake, with Oscar nominated Elle also debuting.
"Having seen all the competition titles, I'd say it hasn't been a banner year - although there were some good fun films in there, like the Safdie brothers' Good Time and Francois Ozon's L'amant Double," she said.
The latter film is a thriller about a model who is in a love triangle with twin brothers - and involves one of Cannes' most explicit sex scenes ever seen.
She also had praise for You Were Never Really Here by Briton Lynn Ramsay, about a man - played by Joaquin Phoenix - trying to save a kidnapped girl, describing it as "the flip-side of Sofia Coppola's delicate sensibilities in The Beguiled".
That film, one of four works shown at Cannes featuring Nicole Kidman, is about an injured soldier taken in by a girls' boarding school in the American Civil War.
But Halligan was more taken by Kidman's role in The Killing of a Sacred Deer, where she plays the wife of a surgeon who brings a teenage boy into their home, with dangerous repercussions for the family.
"When she's great, she's amazing. She's completely unadorned and playing, and looking, her age - which is not a bad thing, but done in a really realistic way. It's her at her absolute best."
Jason Solomons, critic for Radio 4's Front Row and The New European, said: "It was an average, quite conservative selection this year - not a vintage year. They could really do with a bit more variety and a bit more looking forward.
"It all felt too white, too male and too Western and looking at the past. I still think we need to see more African cinema, more Chinese cinema and more Indian cinema."
He singled out Russian films Loveless - about a warring couple searching for their missing son - and Gentle Creature, which tells the story of a woman visiting her husband in jail.
"Russian cinema was very strong this year, particularly the film Loveless which I thought was tremendous and powerful but also very funny and is a film meaty enough to win the Palme d'Or - it had that heft.
"Its director, Andrey Zvyagintsev, has been at the top of his game for a long time so it's time to recognise that. He's bold and brave and takes on Russia.
"Sergei Loznitsa's Gentle Creature was rather divisive - it has two good hours, then a half hour I'd cut, with a terrible rape scene which is rather brutal, and a dream sequence that doesn't make sense."
He added: "I think we'll be seeing a prize for BPM, which I found terrific. I found The Meyerowitz Stories sweet and funny, and it could see a supporting Oscar nomination for Dustin Hoffman.
"And I still don't know what's going to happen to the Michael Haneke film Happy End - about a bourgeois family living in Cannes. I don't know if it's a bad film or absolute genius. I'm not sure if it's the film to win Haneke his third Palme d'Or."
Freelance critic Damon Wise, contributing editor at Empire, described it as a "funny year" which left people "feeling a bit short-changed".
He said: "I certainly know that some are wondering whether planning a starry 70th birthday party was a bigger priority for the festival."
He said Netflix's other film Okja - Bong Joon-ho's work telling the story of a young girl's battle to save her pet superpig from an evil corporate giant - along with The Beguiled and The Killing of a Sacred Deer were among his favourites.
He added: "Something that hit me in the gut was Robin Campinello's 120 Beats Per Minute, which I think might strike a chord with Pedro Almodovar, being an account of the Paris-based Aids activist group ACT UP in the early '90s.
"My favourite film came right at the last minute - Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here - it's so brutal and at the same time so subtle.
"I had to see it twice, just to make sure what I thought of it. It sounds obvious - a hitman wants to get out of the game - but Ramsay crafts something unexpectedly fantastic from a really familiar story. There's a terrific, totally unnerving score from Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood that kept me glued to my seat."

The 10-year-old, who won the 2012 Champion Hurdle race at Cheltenham, had 12 victories from 27 races.
Rock On Ruby finished out of the first four just once, in the 2014 Arkle.
Trainer Harry Fry said there "were quite a few tears shed by our staff" when he told them that the "horse of a lifetime" was being retired.
"If he was a younger horse we might have considered treating the injury and bringing him back a year or more later," added Fry.
Rock On Ruby was officially trained by Paul Nicholls when he beat Overturn and odds-on favourite Hurricane Fly to win the Champion Hurdle, but much of the credit for the win went to Fry, who looked after the satellite yard from which he was trained at the time.
But Mr Castro said the role of the state would be reduced in some areas, with more workers allowed to be self-employed or to set up small businesses.
Urgent measures would aim to cut the "overloaded" state payroll, he said.
Speaking to Cuba's National Assembly, Mr Castro nonetheless insisted the socialist system was "irrevocable".
By Michael VossBBC News, Havana
You have to remember that in Cuba not only does the state centrally control the major industries - the banks, the farms etc - but virtually every economic activity on the island.
It looks as if what they are saying is that they are prepared to step back and allow self-employment and small co-operatives but they will not go further than that.
There's a liquidity crisis in Cuba so bad that they're not paying foreign companies that they do business with at the moment. The economy is in very deep trouble.
He was conscious that the Cuban people expected measures to pull the country out of a deep economic crisis, the president told the assembly.
He said some restrictions on issuing licences to small businesses would be lifted, and they would also be allowed to employ staff.
A scheme launched earlier this year under which some hairdressers are allowed to work for themselves is likely to be extended to many other areas, says the BBC's Michael Voss, in Havana.
Mr Castro, 79, also warned that unproductive or under-employed workers in the state sector would have to find other jobs.
"We have to end forever the notion that Cuba is the only country in the world where you can live without working," he said.
Mr Castro stressed there would not be massive sackings of workers.
"No-one will be simply left out in the cold," he said.
Mr Castro rejected reports in the foreign press that had suggested he had been planning economic reforms based on "capitalist recipes".
He also dismissed speculation that there were conflicts in the Communist Party leadership over the pace and depth of change, insisting the unity of the revolution was "stronger than ever".
Speaking to reporters before Mr Castro's speech, Economy Minister Marino Murillo said that while the state would reduced its role in small businesses, it would continue to direct a centralised economy.
"We are studying an updating of the Cuban economic model in which socialist economic priorities will be at the forefront, and not the market," he said.
Cuba's state-run economy has been gripped by a severe crisis in the past two years that has forced it to cut imports.
It has suffered from a fall in the price for its main export, nickel, as well as a decline in tourism.
Growth has also been hampered by the 48-year US trade embargo.
In his speech, President Castro also made his first public mention of his decision to release 52 jailed dissidents.
Mr Castro said none of the prisoners had been jailed for their ideas, but had committed "counter-revolutionary" crimes in the service of the US.
"The revolution can be generous because it is strong," he said, adding that there would be "no impunity for enemies of the fatherland".
Mr Castro became Cuba's leader when his brother, Fidel Castro, stepped aside because of ill-health in 2006.
Rebeca Schaefer and Peter Schmidt are accused of kidnapping, manslaughter and membership of an illicit organisation.
They handed themselves in after a judge ordered their arrest on Monday along with five others.
The judge issued a warrant for the arrest of Hartmut Hopp, the deputy leader of Colonia Dignidad who is thought to have fled to Germany.
Ms Schaefer is the adopted daughter of the former cult leader and Nazi sympathiser, Paul Schaefer, who died in prison in April 2010.
He was serving a 20-year term for sexually abusing children at Colonia Dignidad.
The Baptist preacher founded the commune in 1961 in a remote area about 390km (245 miles) south of the capital Santiago.
Ms Schaefer and her husband Peter Schmidt were detained after travelling to a police station together.
The justice ministry told the BBC that Chile had filed an international warrant via Interpol for the arrest of Hartmut Hopp.
Hopp, 66, disappeared last Friday while on bail awaiting trial.
"We are aware of press reports that he may have fled to his native Germany," justice ministry spokesman, Hector Cruzac, said.
The Chilean authorities are currently investigating how the German national managed to flee from house arrest.
Hopp, who is a medical doctor by profession, was convicted by a court last year of child sex abuse.
However, the authorities had not yet jailed him as they wanted to put him on trial on additional charges, including membership of a banned organisation.
The fugitive's daughter-in-law, Baerbel Schreiber, told a Chilean investigative website that he had arrived in Germany several days ago and was still there.
Colonia Dignidad served as a torture centre during the military rule of Gen Augusto Pinochet.
The colony was taken over by the Chilean government in 2005.
A subsequent investigation showed how it operated as a state within a state, with children forced to live separately from their parents.
The Commons Brexit committee's first report urges ministers to publish their Brexit plan by mid-February and give Parliament a vote on the final deal.
Jonathan Edwards, the committee's only Welsh member, accused Labour MPs of "gagging" Labour ministers in Cardiff.
The Welsh Government said it would work to ensure Brexit talks take account of "the interests of all parts of the UK".
As well as calling for clarity on the Brexit plan, the cross-party committee said the UK government should "strive" to ensure there was no return to tariffs or other trade barriers.
Chairman Hilary Benn said: "This is going to be a hugely complex task and the outcome will affect us all.
"The government needs to publish its Brexit plan by mid-February at the latest, including its position on membership of the Single Market and the Customs Union, so that it can be scrutinised by Parliament and the public."
He added that ministers should make it clear that Parliament would get a vote on the final deal.
Mr Edwards, MP for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, welcomed the committee's support for continued free trade, but was unhappy it would not back his call for the devolved nations to be given a say on the final Brexit deal.
"By blocking my amendments to give Wales a voice, the Labour MPs on the committee have effectively gagged their Welsh Government colleagues," he said.
"That should ring major alarm bells for us in Wales. Westminster is intent on turning the UK into a unilateral state, dictating everything from Westminster, regardless of the needs and interests of Wales."
A Welsh Government spokesman welcomed the report's support for keeping trade open, and said it was involved in "ongoing discussions" with the UK government and other devolved administrations on the approach to Brexit.
"This is important work to ensure that the overall UK negotiating position takes into account the interests of all parts of the UK," the spokesman said.
"We look forward to continuing this constructive relationship after Article 50 has been triggered."
A UK government spokesman said it welcomed the report, but stressed: "We will set out our plans, subject to not undermining the UK negotiating position, by the end of March and that parliament will be appropriately engaged throughout the process of exit, abiding by all constitutional and legal obligations that apply."
Welsh Conservatives leader Andrew RT Davies said: "The committee recognises the damage that would be done if the Prime Minister were to be forced to disclose the government's negotiating position, and that is to be welcomed in what is by and large a sensible report."
Laurie told presenter Kirsty Young on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that the former comedy duo "often" talk about a reunion.
But he said whatever they came up with, it would not be a sketch show.
"I think probably sketching is a young man's game because, by and large, it's about mocking people much older than you," he said.
"We are now not only the age of cabinet ministers, we are actually probably older than half the cabinet."
The pair met at Cambridge University and made four series of the sketch show A Bit of Fry and Laurie.
They later worked together in a TV adaptation of PG Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster.
Laurie said he had a "pretty instantaneous" friendship with Fry, and they have "barely" had a cross word between them in all the years of their friendship.
"That's not really natural, is it, to never have a cross word? It seems odd," he admitted.
Laurie said he hoped their future project would be a revue-style show like those of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann, who were popular in the 1950s and 1960s.
Listen to the show
"A sort of Flanders and Swann-type stage revue with a couple of wing chairs and a rug and a decanter of Madeira and my colleague will recount amusing stories and I will sit at the piano and play ditties," he said.
"I know no more than that - we have not advanced with this idea but that would be my pick of the way to go."
Laurie has moved back to the UK after eight years in Hollywood starring in the hit medical drama House. The show reached a global audience of 81 million.
Laurie said he has a different level of fame in the UK as House was not as big as it was in other countries.
"I became a very big cheese in France, Italy and Germany," he joked.
In the US he said there were "things I don't do and places I can't go to".
He said he had not learned to surf in California because he knew he would be photographed.
"You're not allowed that sort of tentative first experience of anything without having your picture taken."
Laurie said digital cameras did not exist when he signed up to play the main character, Doctor Gregory House, and now they are everywhere.
"People photograph everything and nothing - no interaction is deemed to have actually happened unless somebody has a picture of it," he said.
"Nobody is satisfied with having met a person without having a picture to prove it."
He added: "I think that is odd and I think it's so odd I think it might actually be starting to alter the way we think about each other and the way we think about general day-to-day social interaction."
Holmes, 27, has signed a two-and-a-half year contract after scoring once in a four-game loan spell with the Cobblers.
Left-back Newey, 32, had a loan spell with Northampton last November and was released by Oxford on Monday.
"I thought he was outstanding when he came here," manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Northampton.
"He was superb for me at Oxford, we had a great defensive record there and he was a part of that."
"Tom's a good player, it was a great opportunity to get him in and I'm sure he'll have a decent career here with us."
Newey joined the U's in July 2013, when Wilder was in charge, and made 62 appearances for the club.
The former Grimsby and Rotherham defender had his loan spell at Northampton cut short by an ankle injury after only three appearances.
Real, without the rested Cristiano Ronaldo, fought back from 2-1 down in the final six minutes to restore their six-point advantage over arch-rivals Barcelona, who won 3-0 at Osasuna earlier on Saturday.
Zinedine Zidane's side laboured in an uninspiring first half which saw Depor midfielder Celso Borges head against the post.
Striker Alvaro Morata's 20-yard drive shortly after the restart appeared to ease the tension among the home fans.
However, Depor substitute Joselu - on loan from English Premier League side Stoke - swung the match dramatically in favour of the visitors.
He powered in the equaliser with a rising drive into the top-left corner after on-loan Aston Villa midfielder Carles Gil dispossessed Casemiro on the edge of his penalty area.
And Joselu, who came through the ranks at the Bernabeu, increased the nervousness by pouncing on more defensive uncertainty to slot home.
But the drama did not end there.
Real equalised with six minutes left when substitute Mariano Diaz scored his first La Liga goal with a fortuitous effort that flew in off his shoulder.
Then, skipper Ramos - whose late equaliser earned Real a vital draw at Barcelona last weekend - headed in Toni Kroos' corner to spark jubilant celebrations at the Bernabeu.
It means that Zidane's men have surpassed Real's previous record of 34 games unbeaten, set under Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker in 1988-89.
Madrid have not won La Liga since 2012 but will end the calendar year in pole position after rediscovering their resilience since club legend Zidane replaced Rafael Benitez in January.
Los Merengues went into Saturday's game having taken 87 of the 102 points on offer in their previous 34 league matches and, although Zidane's side have not always been fluent, they have developed a useful knack of refusing to acknowledge when they are beaten.
The French World Cup winner has instilled a never-say-die attitude in his side that has yielded some important points in the biggest moments.
And, just seven days after Ramos salvaged a draw in El Clasico, that fighting spirit was apparent again against fifth-bottom Deportivo.
Madrid were missing a number of stellar names as Zidane named a much-changed side with one eye on next week's Club World Cup in Japan.
Without Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema, plus injured Wales forward Gareth Bale, they lacked fluency and looked defensively vulnerable.
But the home side continued to believe they could turn the game back in their favour as Depor dropped deeper.
The pressure eventually told. The visiting defence buckled as Ramos rose highest, the away players buckling to the turf in despair.
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane: "We know that we can do big things like we did tonight. Thirty-five games without a loss gives you strength. One day we will lose, but the good thing about this team is that it always believes."
Match-winner Sergio Ramos: "You fight until the very end, with faith, with enthusiasm, with commitment, and things go your way."
A trip to Japan for Real Madrid. The Champions League winners go to the Club World Cup, where they will play either South Korea's Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors or Mexican side America in the semi-finals on Thursday (10:30 GMT).
Deportivo, who have won just once in nine matches, will be eyeing next Sunday's home game against bottom side Osasuna as an opportunity to move away from the bottom three.

Evha Jannath, 11, was on a school trip on Tuesday when she fell from a boat on the Splash Canyon ride.
The park has stayed closed for a third day as police and the Health and Safety Executive investigate.
Alton Towers and Legoland Windsor have reopened similar water-based white knuckle rides.
The latest on this and other stories across Stoke and Staffordshire
Drayton Manor has not yet announced when the park, in Tamworth, Staffordshire, will reopen and Staffordshire Police could not confirm how long the force would remain at the scene.
Earlier, theme park operator Merlin Entertainments reopened the Congo River Rapids at Alton Towers and Legoland Windsor's Vikings River Splash, which had been closed as a precautionary measure following the schoolgirl's death.
The firm said Thorpe Park's Rumba Rapids was due to reopen on Friday afternoon.
The family said their "world was torn apart" following Evha's death.
Erfana Bora, the head teacher at Jameah Girls Academy the Islamic day school in Leicester that Evha attended, described the pupil as a "lovely, sweet-natured girl [who] was loved by everyone".
Staffordshire Police said Evha's post-mortem examination was expected to take place on Monday.
The Splash Canyon ride, which opened in 1993 and features up to 21 boats each with a capacity of six people, promises "a wild ride" with "fast-flowing rapids". Height restrictions are imposed and in some cases children are required to be accompanied by an adult.
The English FA wanted to field men's and women's teams at the Games but the plans provoked strong opposition from the other home nations.
"We are disappointed not to be able to go ahead, given the fantastic opportunity it would have afforded the players and the broader exposure it would have brought to the game in our countries," said an FA spokesperson.
On Monday, it was confirmed the proposal had been formally withdrawn.
GB entered men's and women's teams at London 2012, with both sides knocked out at the quarter-final stage.
Several players from the home nations featured for Team GB in London despite Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland refusing to give their official backing.
Manchester City and 39-times capped Wales forward Natasha Harding tweeted her reaction to the decision, saying: "Being Welsh and maybe having an opportunity to represent Great Britain at an Olympics would've been a dream. Now that's been taken away."
Former Wales captain Jess Fishlock told BBC Radio Wales she has mixed feelings about the opposition: "I'm not all that surprised as I knew the FAW are against it for their own reasons and their reasons are justifiable.
"But then from a playing point of view and to see what the Olympics in 2012 did for women's football, it's a shame, it's a really big shame.
"In the women's game it is classed as a major tournament, as big as the World Cup."
However, Scotland head coach Anna Signeul believes there is no need for British football to be represented at the Games.
"I thought last time was a one off because we were hosting, so for me it was a surprise when England came out and said they wanted to be a part of the Olympics again," she told BBC Scotland.
"We have the same opinion as we had of it last time: we don't support it but if the players want to take part, we would be positive towards it.
"I think the raised profile came because it was hosted in London. I can't see it being the same profile in Rio."
Adrian Solano landed in France on 19 January on his way to a training camp in Sweden but police turned him back.
Solano said border agents doubted he was even a skier and asked if there was snow in Venezuela.
He is currently competing in Finland, but the episode cost him a month's lost training.
The dubious honour of being called the "world's worst skier" came after a disastrous performance in the qualifying round of the Nordic World Ski Championships.
He nearly did not make it out of the blocks as he wobbled his way to the starting line, but it was his first time skiing on snow having previously only trained on wheels.
Read more about his performance in Lahti.
Solano said he was questioned upon landing in Paris. "They did not believe that I ski in Venezuela," he told the Agence France Press news agency.
"I told them that we train on wheels. I only had €28 with me and the police accused me of trying to immigrate because things were going badly in my country."
"They discriminated against me because of my dress, my face or appearance," said Mr Solano, who was deported a few days later.
His trainer said that the police laughed at him. "They said skiing didn't exist in Venezuela," coach Cesar Baena said.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez tweeted on Thursday that "following instructions by @PresidentMaduro we will deliver a strong protest to the French government for the affront against the Venezuelan athlete".
In a second tweet, Ms Rodriguez said that "the insult against Venezuelans is absolutely unacceptable" and blamed opposition groups for bringing Venezuelans into disrepute.
The country is deeply divided into those who support President Nicolas Maduro and those who blame him and his socialist policies for the economic crisis the country is experiencing.
Jones will name a 33-man squad on Wednesday, but is not set to reveal his captain for another two weeks.
Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley could replace Harlequins flanker Chris Robshaw as skipper, although Hartley has lost his place in the Saints side.
Jones, 55, recently said he will select players who "express themselves".
However, Sale fly-half Cipriani is not expected to be a part of the Australian's initial plans.
The 28-year-old, who has won 14 caps since making his debut in 2008, missed out to Saracens' Owen Farrell and Bath's George Ford in England's doomed World Cup squad.
Jones was named as England's first foreign head coach in November, replacing Stuart Lancaster.
Lancaster was sacked following the World Cup, which saw hosts England eliminated in the group stage.
A lengthening injury list means Jones will be without Exeter centre Henry Slade and back row Dave Ewers, Bath lock Dave Attwood, Leicester lock Ed Slater, Northampton props Kieran Brookes and Alex Corbisiero, and Gloucester wing Jonny May, for some, or all, of the tournament.
Exeter wing Jack Nowell and Gloucester number eight Ben Morgan should recover from less serious injuries picked up at the weekend, while Saracens lock George Kruis was taken off on a stretcher against Harlequins with concussion.
However Morgan, 26, who started England's opening World Cup match against Fiji, is unlikely to be picked.
Away from fitness issues, there are question marks over the inclusion of several World Cup squad members. Saracens centre Brad Barritt, Northampton flanker Tom Wood, Harlequins pop Joe Marler, Exeter lock Geoff Parling and Saracens scrum half Richard Wigglesworth could all be left out as Jones looks to add more pace into the team.
The 33-man group is very likely to include exciting newcomers Elliot Daly, the Wasps centre, Saracens forward Maro Itoje and Harlequins flanker Jack Clifford.
Exeter back Sam Hill and Sale Sharks number eight Josh Beaumont - son of England's 1980 Grand Slam-winning captain Bill Beaumont - have also been mentioned as potential squad debutants.
Leicester centre Manu Tuilaigi - not considered by Lancaster for the World Cup after an assault conviction - could return after 15 months out with a groin injury.
And Saracens' in-form, prolific try-scorer Chris Ashton, who won the last of his 39 caps in June 2014, plus once-capped winger Semesa Rokoduguni, of Bath, are both thought to be in Jones' plans.
Under Rugby Football Union rules, Jones can change 11 players - including code convert Sam Burgess who left rugby union after the World Cup - from Lancaster's last squad.
Coach Joe Schmidt is without eight front-line players as his team start their defence of the title.
And attack coach Howley believes the way Wales coped with injuries in the World Cup shows what can be done.
"The players were able to adapt and apply themselves. I've got no doubt Ireland will be the same," he said.
"It gives you a stronger belief in yourself to go out and prove other people wrong."
Cian Healy, Marty Moore, Ian Henderson, Peter O'Mahony, Tommy Bowe and Luke Fitzgerald are all long-term absentees for Ireland, while full-back Rob Kearney and back-row Sean O'Brien were left out of the team after picking up injuries in training this week..
Wales reached the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup in spite of injuries which eventually ruled out seven backs including Leigh Halfpenny and Rhys Webb.
But Howley is not expecting the challenge to be any easier because of the injuries.
The former British and Irish Lions scrum-half added that the forecasted tough weather conditions as much as the injuries will dictate how the game is played.
With gales and rain predicted, Howley expects a lot of kicking and catching.
"I think that will have a huge impact on Sunday," he said.
"It's going to be blustery, high winds, and rain. So we have to adapt.
"We've spoken about what we can influence and what we can control. It's about dictating the speed of the game and dictating who controls the game in the areas we need to.
"We're going to have to be accurate because I'm certain there's going to be a fair number of kicks on Sunday afternoon."
Children aged five to 16 spend an average of six and a half hours a day in front of a screen compared with around three hours in 1995, according to market research firm Childwise.
Teenaged boys spend the longest, with an average of eight hours.
Eight-year-old girls spend the least - three-and-a-half hours, according to the study.
Screen time is made up of time spent watching TV, playing games consoles, using a mobile, computer or tablet.
The Connected Kids report, compiled by market researcher Childwise, has collated data from 1995 to the present day to create a comprehensive picture of children's media habits.
Each year, its report, which is not available online, surveys around 2,000 children, aged five to 16.
It finds that teenaged girls now spend an average of seven-and-a-half- hours watching screens, compared with 3.5 hours of TV viewing in 1995.
Younger children fare slightly better - in 1995, five to 10-year-olds averaged around two-and-a-half-hours of TV.
Fast-forward to 2014 and screen time has risen to four-and-a-half hours.
Children are also now multi-screening - using more than one device at the same time, for example, watching TV while surfing the internet on a tablet or mobile so some of the screen time will be concurrent.
"The main difference from the 1990s is that then TV and magazines were the main ways for connecting kids to the media and now they have different devices from tablets, mobiles, games consoles and they have a much higher screen time," said research executive Matthew Nevard.
Children's TV viewing habits have changed dramatically, with the majority now watching television via catch-up services and YouTube rather than the traditional TV set, according to the report.
YouTube is the most popular on-demand service with more than half of respondents accessing TV and video via the site since 2013.
Paid-for on-demand services, such as Netflix, have also risen rapidly in recent years and are expected to continue to grow in popularity.
It is not great news for the terrestrial channels - BBC One has seen its audience of seven to 16-year-olds drop from over 80% in 1995 to just over 40% in 2014. ITV's audience follows a similar trajectory.
The transition to digital, coupled with dedicated children's channels, is another reason for the the drop in children's viewing of the main channels with children now watching more content on dedicated channels such as CBBC, CITV, Nickelodeon and Disney.
The study also looks at how the internet has changed the way children engage with information.
"The internet is pivotal to their lives and they are now able to access a wealth of content," said Mr Nevard.
The internet has given children more freedom to explore their own interests rather than being tied into the content offered to them from the TV schedules or magazines.
"They can find the content that they want," he said.
The study describes connectivity as "a fundamental need for young people now".
"Children now don't remember a time before the internet," said Mr Nevard.
Ubiquitous online access is also likely to influence the way children interact with their families and "their willingness to participate in family holidays and trips out", the report finds.
For the last 10 years, Childwise has charted the most popular websites for young people.
YouTube has remained in the top three since 2007 while Facebook has seen its appeal dip in recent years, as children turn to newer services such as Snapchat.
Children enjoy the privacy of WhatsApp and Snapchat, according to the survey, and the use of such services is also changing how they communicate.
"It reflects the image culture which has emerged, where pictures are utilised to give a better representation of current moods and or activities," the survey said.
Google is one of the few sites to remain popular across 10 years of data with sites.
The report also attempts a bit of future-gazing and predicts that in the next 10 years, children growing up will have little understanding of a world without the internet.
The internet of things - where household objects communicate and share data - will be regarded as normal, it suggests.
"Having appliances which cannot be controlled using a smartphone or some kind of online dashboard may be seen as outdated, or at least increasingly rare," the report concludes.
It also thinks that most children will have some form of wearable technology, be it a smart watch, smart glasses or a virtual reality headset.
The Joint European Torus (Jet) in Culham is home to the world's largest fusion reactor.
The EU covers 88% of the running costs, but the UK's contract to host Jet ends in December 2018.
The UK government has committed to paying its "fair share" of the project if the EU extends the contract to 2020.
The EU currently provides £60m towards Jet and the government said a discussion on an "appropriate funding split" would take place after any contract extension.
Science Minister, Jo Johnson said: "Our exit from the EU has not altered our desire and willingness for the UK to continue playing a leading role in furthering our scientific understanding.
"Today's announcement aims to provide the necessary reassurance for us to continue this partnership."
Professor Ian Chapman, chief executive officer of the UK Atomic Energy Authority, which manages Jet, said the authority was "pleased" with the government's commitment.
Justin Tomlinson told BBC News there would still be an increase in the number of people claiming Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
And more money would be directed at the people who "needed it most".
Labour and some Tory MPs are threatening to derail the change, spelt out in Wednesday's Budget.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Mr Osborne had "declared war on the disabled" and Tory MP Andrew Percy said he had gone "too far" and the changes were "just not acceptable".
"This hits exactly the wrong people, potentially. I think it sends out the wrong message about the priorities of the government," Mr Percy told BBC Radio 4's The World at One.
He said the changes were more about helping Mr Osborne meet his self-imposed cap on overall welfare spending than reforming the benefits system.
Mr Tomlinson told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg 640,000 people would be affected by the changes in 2020-21 - but it did "not necessarily mean they will lose their benefit".
"They might lose one of the points in the assessment but a significant chunk of that 640,000 will continue to receive the benefit," he said.
He said it was a "future measure", which would only affect current claimants when they came up for reassessment.
"We will still see an increase in the numbers of people using PIP and the amount of money paid out," he added.
He said the government was committed to improving the system and that more people were receiving the payments at the highest end of the scale.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies said 370,000 people would lose out under the planned changes, with an average loss of £3,500 a year.
PIP claimants can get between £21.80 and £139.75 per week and are assessed using a points system to determine what level of help they receive.
The money is meant to help people cope with the extra cost of living with a disability or long-term health problem and are used to fund everything from mobility cars to adapted baths and showers.
The weight given to the use of aids and appliances in two of the 10 daily living activities - dressing and managing toilet needs - will be reduced from January.
It follows an independent review, commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions, which said a "significant number of people" were likely to be getting the benefit despite having minimal-to-no ongoing daily living extra costs.
But disability campaigners say the changes will make it harder for some disabled people to qualify for the benefit and prevent people hit by other benefit cuts from living independently.
Asked on BBC Breakfast about whether cuts to PIP were harming the most vulnerable in society, Mr Osborne said: "We have got to make sure we have a system that works.
"I'm always happy to listen to proposals about how improve on that but we have got to control our disability budget and make sure help goes to the people who need it most."
Labour's Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Owen Smith said: "There is no political, economic or moral justification for George Osborne's decision to cut support for disabled people while increasing tax benefits for the wealthiest, symbolising the unfairness of his Budget.
"I do not believe that those who voted Conservative at the last election did so to see a further £4 billion stripped away from people who may require assistance when washing or dressing."
He said Labour would resist any attempt by the government to push through the changes in secondary legislation, without a full debate in Parliament.
Why George Osborne has a problem with disability benefits.
1. Introducing the new Personal Independence Payment for disabled people has saved much less money than expected. There was "little evidence" for the original optimistic savings assessment says the Office for Budget Responsibility, which has repeatedly reduced its forecast.
2. More people are getting PIP than the government expected, and they are being paid more. Average awards were expected to be £86 a week. In fact they will be £100.
3, The government can boast it is spending more on disability benefits. The bill rises by about £1bn over the next five years. Had it not been for the most recent cuts it would have been yet higher - by an extra £1bn. Despite the overall bill rising individuals will see cuts to their payments.
4. The problem could get worse. Even after the latest cuts there is "considerable uncertainty" about the figures on future savings says the OBR.
5. It's a big political problem. If Mr Osborne U-turns he will have to find more than a billion pounds of savings elsewhere, and doubts about his ability to reach a surplus will intensify.
One lifelong Conservative voter, Graeme Ellis, said he had quit the party over the cuts - and made his views known on the official website of the Conservative Disability Group, on whose executive he has served.
"This website is temporarily closed owing to Disability Cuts," a message read after Mr Osborne confirmed the cuts.
"The owner of the hosting package, Graeme Ellis, has resigned over disability cuts from the group and will no longer develop or host this site."
The message was later amended to stress that no other member of the group was involved in the action and they had not known about it in advance.
Mr Ellis, a former NHS worker who has diabetes and uses a wheelchair, said Mr Osborne was "destroying lives".
"I've been a Conservative voter since I could vote. But as a lifelong Conservative I could no longer agree with what the Government's doing," he told the Mirror.
A Conservative Party spokesman said: "The Conservative Disability Group has not deactivated its website.
"The owner of the domain, who is no longer a member of the group, has deactivated it without any instruction to do so." | Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has warned US President Donald Trump he risks political suicide if he scraps the nuclear deal with Tehran.

Kelly was a veteran of stage and screen, his career lasting 60 years.
He had more recent roles in Emmerdale and Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie.
Kelly revealed last November that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, although he said he would continue to work.
He had received the all-clear from bowel cancer in 2011. He was treated for skin cancer last year and also had heart problems.
The actor passed away exactly 18 years after the death of his Father Ted co-star Dermot Morgan.
Morgan died on Sunday 28 February 1998. His son, Don Morgan, tweeted about the coincidence of the date.
Graham Linehan, the writer of Father Ted, tweeted his condolences.
"Just hearing from various sources that Frank Kelly has passed away," he tweeted.
"Terribly sad news. Thanks for everything Frank."
The sitcom's co-writer, Arthur Mathews, also responded on Twitter.
"Sad news," he said. "Comedy legend. So thrilled we had him in Father Ted."
Kelly's co-star Ardal O'Hanlon, who played Father Dougal McGuire, called him a "gentleman".
"Very sad news. We had lunch together at Christmas when he was in his usual feisty form," he said.

Resuming day two on 71-0, Notts lost regular wickets and had slumped to 175-6 when Alex Hales was out for 85.
However Read fought back with his 137-ball knock to take the visitors to 330 all out, a first innings lead of 61.
Worcestershire then lost four wickets, including stand-in skipper Alex Gidman for 21, as they closed on 115-4.
After England opener Hales was bowled by Jack Shantry, Notts still trailed by 94 with just four wickets in hand.
But Read's innings, which included 12 fours and a six, along with Ben Hutton's 40 and a rapid 38 from Jake Ball gave the away side a slender advantage.
Hutton then did the damage early in Worcestershire's second innings, taking two of the four wickets to fall, but teenager Joe Clarke (43 not out) and Ross Whiteley (22 not out) steadied things with a stand of 47. | Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read hit a crucial 90, before late wickets put his side on top against Worcestershire in their Championship game at New Road. | 33,830,604 | 225 | 32 | false |

Visitors to the General Register House exhibition can search towns online for registered Italian immigrants.
It shows local names such as the Macaris in Galashiels; Fortes in Gala as well as Jedburgh, Kelso and Duns; Valentes in Coldstream; and Serafinis in Selkirk and Hawick.
There are artefacts, too, such as a birthday telegram to an Italian man who had been interned - from his wife and children in Peebles.
"The majority are in the central belt but in fact there are many who find their way into the Borders and set up shops and prospered down there," explained the exhibition's curator Dr Tristram Clarke.
"That's right through the Borders from the east to the west.
Italy and the fascist involvement in World War II brought many hardships on Italians settled in Scotland.
Families were separated as adult males were interned. Family members that were left behind were forced to cope with mistrust and discrimination.
"The telegram is actually sent to the father and husband Biagio Boni in internment in the Palace Hotel internment camp in Douglas in the Isle of Man.
"It is a birthday telegram - it is just as if it is normal and then you look at the addresses and you suddenly realise what the story is going on there.
"It is a fascinating document."
The records themselves still belong to the Italian government.
Their ambassador to the UK, Pasquale Terracciano, said he believed they would be of interest to families around the region.
"Those Italians who came to the Borders and settled down - they opened their ice cream parlours and coffee shops and so on and gave, I think, an important contribution to the catering business in Scotland," he said.
"They can now reclaim their origins and get information on their roots.
"We know that they are all perfectly integrated in Scottish society but they might be interested in knowing something about the history of their families."
Historian Dr Terri Colpi's new book, Italians' Count in Scotland: The 1933 Census, looks at how they became part of our communities.
"They didn't come to Scotland and set up in Hawick or Peebles," she said.
"They'd have come to Edinburgh or to Glasgow and sort of found out what was going on and who was where.
"Maybe they were quite young and they had to work their apprenticeships with uncles or the padroni (bosses) in already established businesses before they set out looking for nice little Scottish towns with little markets that they knew would support their family."
The exhibition Family Portrait: The Scots Italians 1890-1940 is on at General Register House in Princes Street until 29 January.

The hosts had the better first-half chances and moved into the lead when Rob Kiernan headed in James Tavernier's free-kick.
Hearts had earlier netted through Don Cowie, but the midfielder was flagged offside.
A long throw-in by Lee Wallace found its way to Barrie McKay to poke home Rangers' second.
Mark Warburton's side now lead Hearts by five points and go four clear of Aberdeen, who have a game in hand. Celtic, with three games in hand, lead the division by eight points.
Hearts had beaten Rangers 2-0 in Robbie Neilson's last match in charge on 30 November, with Jon Daly in interim charge for last weekend's 2-2 draw with Ross County.
Warburton's men had recovered from their loss at Tynecastle by beating Aberdeen to reclaim second place and Rangers were determined to hold on to it with several openings before Kiernan scored.
Wallace was wide with one effort and saw another saved and Kenny Miller lobbed wide from a promising position.

However, the home fans would see their team in front by half-time, Kiernan powerfully nodding home Tavernier's free-kick. It was the defender's first goal since joining Rangers in June 2015.
Rangers continued where they left off in the second half and took advantage of sloppy defending by Igor Rossi and Facyal Rherras when Wallace's throw was not cut out and McKay applied the finish - his first goal since netting in the League Cup in July.
Joe Garner and Miller's replacement Martyn Waghorn had further efforts as the home side finished strongly, with one of Waghorn's shots requiring a fine block by Jack Hamilton.
Hearts' best spell had come in the first half and Cowie celebrated after finishing on the rebound following a Callum Paterson shot that was saved by Wes Foderingham.
However, the visitors and their new head coach, who joined after spells on the coaching staff at Rio Ave, Valencia and Newcastle, would be left frustrated by the linesman's raised flag.
Hearts' Jamie Walker fired wide but was later booked for simulation in what proved to be a disappointing debut for 30-year-old Cathro.

After World War Two he worked to document what happened at Sobibor, one of three secret death camps built by the Nazis in occupied eastern Poland.
About 250,000 people, mainly Jews, were murdered there from 1942-43. More than 34,000 were from the Netherlands.
Jules Schelvis lost most of his family in the war and survived six more camps until he was finally freed in 1945.
He was a co-plaintiff in the trial of Sobibor guard John Demjanjuk, who was found guilty in 2011 of being an accessory to the murder of 28,000 Jews.
The Nazis tried to cover up the existence of Sobibor and little was known about it as so few people had survived. Schelvis was one of only 18 Dutch people to come back from Sobibor.
He died at his home in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam.
Schelvis began writing about the camp in the 1980s when he retired and set up the Sobibor Foundation .
He was transported to Sobibor aged 22 from the Westerbork camp in June 1943, along with his wife and in-laws who were murdered within hours.
Schelvis himself was later sent to a labour camp after speaking to an SS officer using German he had learned at school.
Initially he believed he was the only Dutch survivor but eventually found another 17 people who had returned home.
Asked why he had devoted years of his life to documenting the horrors of Sobibor, he once said: "I did it for everyone who was murdered there. First of all for my wife and the family and everyone else."
The funds have also accused Mr Quinn of trying to "drive a wedge" into the management team running the businesses.
The comments are from an email obtained by the Impartial Reporter and seen by the BBC.
Mr Quinn responded that both he and his family "condemned and will continue to condemn all negative activity".
The former billionaire businessman, from County Fermanagh, lost control of his manufacturing businesses in 2011 following a disastrous bet on shares in Anglo Irish Bank.
The consortium of banks and other lenders that took over the group gradually sold off its various divisions.
The packaging and construction materials business, based in Counties Cavan and Fermanagh, was sold to Quinn Industrial Holdings.
It is run by some of Mr Quinn's close associates but is jointly owned by three funds - Brigade Capital, Contrarian Capital and Silver Point Capital.
Mr Quinn is a consultant for Quinn Industrial Holdings and is the highest paid person at the company.
In the email the investor group said "threats...false personal attacks and vandalism" were adversely impacting on its "willingness to continue to invest and grow".
They called on Mr Quinn to take an "active approach" against the "increasingly negative activity in the community".
The email added that the funds have no plan to sell the firms to Mr Quinn.
The investor group also said that Mr Quinn needed to "rectify his relationship with our senior management team".
In a statement, Quinn Industrial Holdings said that Mr Quinn has his own advisor who is in "direct discussions with the investors in relation to his role within the business".
"Any decision related to the outcome of those discussions is exclusively a matter for the US investors," it said.
After previous attacks on former Quinn businesses, Mr Quinn said he condemned unlawful acts and that anybody carrying out such acts were not acting in his name.
A statement from the Quinn family on Friday said: "Séan Quinn and the Quinn family's stated position is that they have always condemned and will continue to condemn all negative activity in the local area.
"Séan has a good working relationship with the US investor group and all discussions between those parties are private and confidential.
"Séan has no comment to make on the management team, save to say that he has drawn the US investor group's attention to matters that he believes need to be addressed to protect the Quinn Group and the jobs that it provides to the local community."
The data, taken from 261 companies in the UK, suggests fraudsters are increasingly getting people's personal information from social media sites.
Cifas said Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn had become a "hunting ground" for identity thieves.
It said there were more than 148,000 victims in the UK in 2015 compared with 94,500 in 2014.
A small percentage of cases involved fictitious identities but most fraudsters assumed the identity of a real person after accessing their name, date of birth, address and bank details. More than 85% of the frauds were carried out online.
Some personal details were found by hacking computers but increasingly fraudsters used social media to put together the pieces of someone's identity, Cifas said.
It urged people to check their privacy settings and think carefully about what information they share online.

Unmasking the fraudsters
The curious case of Leah Palmer
The Get Safe Online campaign warns people not to give away details such as phone numbers, addresses or date of birth, or pictures of their home, workplace or school, in either profile information or posts.
Often victims did not even realise they had been targeted until a bill arrived for something they did not buy or they experienced problems with their credit rating, the fraud prevention service added.

A report out earlier this year estimated the annual cost of fraud in the UK was £193bn - equal to nearly £3,000 per head of population.
Business fraud accounted for £144bn, the study said, while fraud against individuals was estimated at £9.7bn.
Simon Dukes, Cifas chief executive, said: "Fraudsters are opportunists. As banks and lenders have become more adept at detecting false identities, fraudsters have focused on stealing and using genuine people's details instead.
"Society, government and industry all have a role in preventing fraud. However, our concern is that the lack of awareness about identity fraud is making it even easier for fraudsters to obtain the information they need.
"The likes of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other online platforms are much more than just social media sites - they are now a hunting ground for identity thieves.
"We are urging people to check their privacy settings today and think twice about what they share. To a fraudster, the information we put online is a goldmine."
Minutes of the Fed's October meeting showed that the conditions may "well be met" by the next gathering in December.
Fed officials saw the jobs market improving and inflation starting to move towards their 2% annual target.
The US looks to have weathered turbulence in global markets without signs of stress, the minutes said.
Wall Street rallied following the release of the minutes, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq indexes closing well above 1% higher.
"The market today is just reinforcing the view that most likely the Fed is going to move in December, and that's not necessarily a bad thing," said Jeremy Zirin, chief equities strategist at UBS Wealth Management Americas.
The Fed has kept its benchmark for short-term rates near zero since late 2008, but there has been increasing speculation about the timing of a rise.
Earlier this year, many economists thought that a rate rise might come in September or October, but US market volatility and worries about economic growth in China put this on the back burner.
However, the Fed minutes indicated that officials felt the US had come through these difficulties.
"The US financial system appeared to have weathered the turbulence in global financial markets without any sign of systemic stress," the minutes said.
"Most [officials] saw the downside risks arising from economic and financial developments abroad as having diminished and judged the risks to the outlook for domestic economic activity and the labor market to be nearly balanced."
The October meeting came after the release of disappointing September jobs data, which was noted in the minutes. But since then, the jobs market surged in October.
Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank, in New York, said: "December is a very, very live date for action, and frankly, given the stellar 271,000 jobs report since the October meeting, we would be astounded if they don't raise rates finally."
Speculation about an imminent interest rate rise has in the past unsettled financial markets. But some analysts believe markets are now prepared for a normalisation of policy.
"I think the market is ready and comfortable for an increase," said Alan Rechtschaffen, portfolio manager at UBS Wealth Management Americas.
"We just have to turn this aircraft carrier around, get out of this zombie-like economy which is being fed on an elixir of low interest rates and get to a process of normalisation," he said.
The court said that the five had been abducted and killed, and their bodies thrown into the sea.
Investigators said they were killed in revenge for the abduction of an army colonel by left-wing guerrillas.
The five are believed to have been the last people kidnapped under the rule of Gen Augusto Pinochet from 1973 to 1990.
Those sentenced are former members of the CNI intelligence service, the army's intelligence battalion and the army's flight commando.
Among them are former CNI head Gen Hugo Salas Wenzel and the CNI's ex-chief of operations, Maj Alvaro Corbalan Castilla.
The two, who are already serving sentences for human rights abuses, were given 15 years in prison each.
The remaining defendants were sentenced to jail terms ranging between five and 10 years, with one released subject to conditions.
The five disappeared activists were members of the Communist Party and its militant wing, the Manuel Rodriguez Patriot Front, which used guerrilla tactics to fight the rule of Gen Pinochet.
They were arrested in September 1987 by the secret police in retaliation for the abduction of Col Carlos Carreño by the Manuel Rodriguez Patriot Front.
Col Carreño was kidnapped on 1 September 1987 and released three months later after his family agreed to the kidnappers' demand for $50,000 (£40,000) in food and clothing for Chile's poor.
The bodies of the five were never found but Judge Mario Carroza's investigations revealed that they had been thrown into the sea from a helicopter off the coast of Valparaiso.
It is not clear whether they were still alive but drugged at the time or if they had already been killed in detention.
More than 3,200 people were killed or disappeared during Gen Pinochet's rule, according to official figures.
Gen Pinochet came to power in a military coup in 1973, when he overthrew the socialist government of President Salvador Allende.
Outside Chile, he is remembered as a ruthless dictator whose military regime tortured and killed thousands of opponents and drove many into exile.
But inside Chile he still has a small but ardent group of right-wing supporters who regard him as a hero for "saving the country from becoming another Cuba".
He stepped down from power in 1990, two years after he lost a referendum on whether he should remain in power.
Keepers said the animal's hormone levels and behaviours show she has reached the end of her breeding cycle.
Two giant pandas arrived at the zoo five years ago but have so far failed to produce a cub.
Tian Tian, which means Sweetie, and male Yang Guang (Sunshine) were the first giant pandas to live in the UK for 17 years.
The last pandas in the UK, Ming Ming and Bao Bao, left a zoo in London in 1994 after failing to mate.
Iain Valentine, director of giant pandas at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), said: "It now appears clear that Tian Tian, our resident female giant panda, will not give birth to cubs this year.
"Tian Tian's hormone levels are returning to normal and her behaviours signal the end of her breeding cycle for this year.
"Over the next few weeks we will conduct a thorough review of the scientific data and our processes to ensure we learn from this year's breeding season.

The British cyclist, 30, has been training on both road and track this winter before a busy year.
"If I don't win any of them it is not a failure because they are the biggest things you can do in cycling," Cavendish told BBC Sport.
"If I won one I'd be happy but I'll try to win all three."
Cavendish, who will ride for Team Dimension Data-Qhubeka, was speaking in Manchester, where he has been training at the Velodrome.
"I've been mixing road and track," he added. "I've been doing more specific track stuff.
"I don't know how that is going to affect my road racing. I could be flying, I could be catastrophic, I could be indifferent. I don't really know - we will have to see when I get racing."
Cavendish, who is hoping to earn a place in the omnium for Great Britain at the Rio Olympics, will compete at the next round of the Track World Cup in Hong Kong on 16-17 January.
"If I don't do anything in Hong Kong you won't be talking to me about the Olympics," added Cavendish.
The Manxman has not won an Olympic medal and faces competition from Ed Clancy and Jon Dibben for the omnium place.
British track coach Heiko Salzwedel told the Times: "Cavendish has to deliver in Hong Kong, full stop. I can't think of sentiment.
"We have a luxury problem. Three world-class omnium riders fighting for one spot. It's probably easier to win the Olympics than win selection."
The Tour de France starts on 2 July with a flat stage that will suit the sprinters, and Cavendish is hoping to win that stage to claim the yellow jersey.
The Olympics start in Rio on 5 August, and the World Road Championships take place in Doha, Qatar in October.
BBC Sport's Matt Slater:
If everything goes to plan, Mark Cavendish's 2016 could go down as one of greatest and most colourful stories in British sporting history: yellow in France (even for just a day), gold in Rio, a rainbow in Doha.
But like one of those Choose Your Own Adventure stories, there are dozens of potential endings for the British star.
Failure in the omnium in Hong Kong next week and the Olympic plot line is over. Success and it rolls on until London in March, when another make-or-break moment arrives. And that is before we think about his road campaign.
It is going to be like that all year. It should be a rollicking good read.
Justice Secretary Liz Truss will announce the scheme on Sunday - a day before a review of the system is due to be published.
The two pilot schools will focus on maths and English, and will also provide apprenticeships.
The scheme will cost £15 million, including frontline staff.
As well as "driving up standards", the minister hopes the schools will reduce violence in the system and help young offenders into an apprenticeship that will continue after they leave custody.
Ms Truss said of the pilot scheme: "Prisons rightly punish people who break the law, but they should also be a place where offenders are reformed.
"While young people are in custody we need to make sure they get the right education and training so they can lead law-abiding lives - and in turn make our streets and communities safer too."
The review into the youth justice system was launched in September 2015. Charlie Taylor, a former head teacher and child behavioural expert, is due to publish his full report on Monday.
In an interim report launched in February this year, he called for a "fundamental change" to the system and raised the possibility of secure schools - which would be set up like free schools in England.
He also found that young people already in the system were only receiving 17 hours of education a week - compared to an expected level of 30 hours.
Mr Taylor welcomed Sunday's announcement from the justice secretary and its focus on education and training.
"Education needs to be central to our response to youth offending," he added. "It is the building block on which a life free from crime can be constructed.
"If children who offend are to become successful and law-abiding adults, the focus must be on improving their welfare, health and education - their life prospects - rather than simply imposing punishment".
The Ministry of Justice said the majority of Mr Taylor's recommendations would be taken forward and it wanted all young people "earning or learning" when they were released.
The schools will work closely with businesses to build relationships with the young people and plans are being developed to offer mentors to stop offenders "returning to a path of crime" when they are released.
Each school will also be measured to keep an eye on their progress and a head of operations post will be established to focus on "tackling violence, driving up performance levels and taking decisive action in the event of failures or falling standards".
There are no dates as of yet for the schools to open and the MoJ has not released numbers of how many young offenders they hope to house.
There are currently five young offender institutions and three secure training centres for young people in England and Wales.
The under-18 youth custody population has dropped below 1,000 in recent years. However, reoffending rates have gone up, with two in three juvenile offenders committing a new offence within a year of release.
The MoJ said the two schools were "the first step" in a number of reforms for the youth justice system that would be set out in spring 2017.
Wider reforms for the justice system as a whole, including the treatment of female offenders and those under probation supervision, are due to be announced in the New Year.
Some 163 people are missing after a boat reportedly sank off the Libyan coast on Sunday, the UN said.
Another sank on Friday night and, though some 50 people were rescued and taken to Sicily, about 82 are missing.
The central Mediterranean route for illegal migration to Europe is currently the busiest. It is also one of the most deadly, the UN says.
"Since the beginning of 2017, one person out of 35 has died on the sea journey from Libya to Italy," UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said two days ago.
The latest shipwrecks mean more than 1,300 people have died or disappeared while trying to cross from North Africa to Italy since the beginning of the year, the UN's refugee agency said.
More than 43,000 migrants and asylum seekers used the central Mediterranean route to reach Italy in that period, it added.
Mr Grandi praised the efforts of rescue groups including the Italian coast guard, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and non-governmental organisations, saying they had saved tens of thousands of lives.
But he added: "There is an urgent need to address the root causes which lead people to move, as well as to offer credible alternatives to these dangerous crossings for people in need of international protection, including accessible and safe ways to reach Europe such as family reunification, relocation and resettlement."
The numbers crossing the Mediterranean are vastly reduced on 2016: almost 190,000 this time last year, less than 50,000 this year.
But the death toll is the same - more than 1,300 so far, meaning the Mediterranean is becoming deadlier.
Aid agencies say smugglers are using ever flimsier boats and that there is now a form of piracy between smuggling gangs, in which migrants already at sea are robbed of their mobile phones, boat engines are stolen, and the vessels and passengers left to drift.
Three months ago, human rights groups heavily criticised an EU deal with Libya which attempted to reduce the flow of migrants.
The deal provided Libya's UN-backed government with €200m ($215m, £171m), including funding to reinforce its coastguard and block smuggling routes.
But in their criticism, the groups pointed to the continuing instability in Libya and the limited extent of the government's territorial control. They said Libya was not a safe place for migrants.
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.
South Wales Police said the boy was struck by a white Land Rover Freelander close to the entrance of Glais rugby club on Birchgrove Road at about 16:00 BST on Monday.
He was taken to the city's Morriston Hospital.
The road was closed for three hours but has since reopened.
Police have asked witnesses to call 101.
Emergency services were called to the incident near Bargrennan at about 05:50.
Police Scotland said there were no reports of any injuries and diversions had been put in place.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said the fire had been put out by about 08:25.
Two crews were sent to the scene and found the lorry "well alight".
They used water from the nearby river to help douse the flames.
"Firefighters in breathing apparatus quickly extinguished the blaze and thankfully the driver of the vehicle was not injured," said an SFRS statement.
"The cab of the HGV was completely destroyed by fire."
Kenneth Wheeler stabbed Scott Mackenzie to death and wounded his victim's son at his home in Shotts, North Lanarkshire.
Wheeler, 33, was convicted of rape, murder and attempted murder after trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
He was ordered to serve at least 22 years behind bars.
The court heard that Wheeler plied the young schoolgirl with alcohol before raping her.
She later revealed what had happened to her, and Mr Mackenzie and his son Jamie were among those who confronted Wheeler.
Judge Lady Carmichael told Wheeler: "You set in train a series of events of the most awful and tragic nature.
"You stabbed Mr Mackenzie three times. One of the wounds damaged an artery."
The judge said it was "particularly reprehensible" that Wheeler had no insight into the damage he had caused.
Lady Carmichael told him: "You took the life of a hard-working, much-loved husband and father and deprived his grandchild of ever knowing him."
Delivery driver Mr Mackenzie, 41, had been enjoying a summer evening with family and friends after a barbecue when he heard of the sex attack on the teenager.
He and son Jamie, 20, went to near-neighbour Wheeler's home to confront him and both men were stabbed.
Wheeler then went to the Mackenzies' family home with a blood-stained knife and threatened to kill Mr Mackenzie's wife Tracy.
A teenage witness said it was as though Wheeler "was possessed".
The incident ended when police officers arrived and used pepper spray to subdue Wheeler.
Wheeler was found guilty of raping a 14-year-old girl at his home in Inverkip Drive, Shotts, on 5 June after supplying her with alcoholic drinks.
He was also found guilty of murdering Mr Mackenzie and attempting to murder his son Jamie at his home on the same date.
The court was told that Wheeler's extended family have had to leave the area, but have maintained contact with him.
Wheeler showed no emotion as he was led away to begin his sentence.
The Nantucket wooden chair was on the first class promenade deck of the luxury liner when it sank in 1912.
Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said it was "one of the rarest types of Titanic collectable" which came with extensive paperwork to prove its provenance.
The chair, which is too delicate to sit on but which has been carefully preserved, will be sold on 18 April.
The deckchair was picked up by the crew of the Mackay-Bennett which was sent to recover the bodies of the victims after the Titanic sank.
According to the ship's log records, it was one of six or seven taken back to port in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Mr Aldridge said it was probably given to French cable ship captain Julien Lemarteleur by a crew member of the Mackay-Bennett, along with the piece of cork from a Titanic lifejacket.
"The in-depth provenance documentation confirms the chain of custody of the deck chair through from Capt Lemarteleur in 1912 through to the present day," he said.
The current owner, an English Titanic collector, has kept it for 15 years.
About 1,500 people died when the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg on April 14 during its maiden voyage to New York from Southampton.
The auction is taking place at Henry Aldridge and Son in Devizes.
The "Fighting Bradfords", from County Durham, between them won two Victoria Crosses, two Military Crosses and a Distinguished Service Order.
Only one of the quartet returned alive from the conflict.
The charity Groundwork will use the cash to retell the brothers' story through a year-long series of events.
The brothers were born in Witton Park, near Bishop Auckland. Roland received the Victoria Cross and Military Cross, George the Victoria Cross, James the Military Cross and Thomas a Distinguished Service Order. Only Thomas survived the war.
At the age of 25, Roland also became the youngest Brigadier General in the history of the British Army.
A memorial garden and statue are already in place at Witton Park, but Groundwork North East and Cumbria, together with Durham County Council, want more people to know about the brothers' achievements.
The cash from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) will pay for a series of school workshops, public talks and the performance of a play based on their lives.
Neil Foster, Durham County Council's cabinet member for economic regeneration, arts and culture, said: "The bravery, heroism, service and sacrifice of the Bradford brothers is rightly still remembered today.
"We are proud to be involved in a project that will see a lasting memorial to them and that with the backing of the HLF will allow local people to discover more of their own personal histories and that of their community."
Ivor Crowther, head of Heritage Lottery Fund North East, said: "The story of the Bradford brothers provides an incredible and emotive perspective on the impact of the First World War.
"We're pleased to support this project which will see people in Witton Park come together to remember George, James, Roland and Thomas, share their own memories of the conflict and reflect on how it has shaped the place in which they live today."
Joanne Norman, Senior Project Officer at Groundwork, said "Over the next year we would like to involve as many residents of Witton Park, past and present, to build up a picture of the village during that time.
"Inspired by the Bradford family, local people will discover their own family's contribution to the Great War and experience what life was like for them."
The title, which has sold over 54 million copies, allows players to build structures with retro Lego-style blocks, as well as explore a large map and battle others.
The deal was announced by Xbox chief Phil Spencer.
Mojang, whose three founders will leave the company, assured fans that "everything is going to be OK".
Some analysts have speculated the deal is designed to attract more users to Microsoft's Windows Phone devices.
The acquisition comes a year after Microsoft bought the handset and devices division of Finnish mobile phone firm Nokia.
Minecraft is one of the top-selling apps on both Apple's iOS store and and Android's Google Play, and has recently been released for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, further boosting sales.
Last month, it was the third most popular console game, according to market research firm NPD Group, despite being on sale for a while.
The game's developer, Mojang, which was founded in 2009, brought in over $100m in profit last year, and employs about 40 people.
Microsoft said the Mojang team would join its game studio, which is responsible for titles such as Halo, Forza and Fable.
The tech giant's chief executive, Satya Nadella, said: "Minecraft is more than a great game franchise - it is an open world platform, driven by a vibrant community we care deeply about, and rich with new opportunities for that community and for Microsoft."
Mojang's founder, Markus "Notch" Persson, has previously criticised Microsoft, and commented to Reuters that the market for Windows phones was "tiny" and not worth developing apps for.
Minecraft has a large and enthusiastic cult following, many of whom have reacted angrily to what they see as a corporate takeover of a communally-spirited independent company.
"Makes me sick, and sad," wrote one user on a popular Minecraft forum. "It would kill the gaming community," EvilBatsu added.
Others expressed concerns about whether fans would be able to exhibit their skills.
"Not only will it cost more money to play the game it will cost people their jobs too. Many people play Minecraft and upload it to YouTube as their career, but if Microsoft takes over there will for sure be copyright issues."
However some enthusiasts made the point that Microsoft could devote larger resources to upgrading and expanding the game.
In a statement, Microsoft said it would maintain Minecraft across all its existing platforms, with a "commitment to nurture and grow it long into the future".
It added that the acquisition was expected to be concluded by the end of 2014.
In an announcement confirming the deal on its website, Mojang reassured gamers, saying: "Please remember that the future of Minecraft and you - the community - are extremely important to everyone involved. If you take one thing away from this post, let it be that."
With regard to Microsoft, Mojang said: "There are only a handful of potential buyers with the resources to grow Minecraft on a scale that it deserves."
The firm added that "Notch" had decided that he "doesn't want the responsibility of owning a company of such global significance".
Developer Notch on selling Minecraft:
"I've become a symbol. I don't want to be a symbol, responsible for something huge that I don't understand, that I don't want to work on, that keeps coming back to me. I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm not a CEO."
Read his statement in full
James McQuivey of analytics firm Forrester, noted that "Minecraft is one of the most important gaming properties in the world".
"Not only is it profitable, but it continues to increase in profits years after its release, largely due to the passionate fan base that invests in building out their own Minecraft worlds.
"That helps explain why Microsoft would want Minecraft and would want to ensure it is always available on Microsoft's gaming platforms.
Prof Mark Skilton, from Warwick Business School, said the acquisition was about building a "strong customer base" for Microsoft.
"The online gaming industry is fast moving from niche collective enthusiast to mass market and Minecraft is a logical move as big business follows the traffic numbers in the digital world."
Last month, Amazon bought Twitch, a site which allows users to watch other people play video games, for $970m (£597m).
The hosts were 2-0 up after just 17 minutes thanks to goals from Julien de Sart and Darren Bent.
Kadeem Harris scored either side of half-time to bring the visitors level, and Craig Noone put them ahead with a fine curling effort.
Bent's header made it 3-3 but Ralls' injury-time penalty won it for Cardiff.
Victory lifts Neil Warnock's side up to 12th in the Championship table, just one place and five points behind Derby, who fall to 11th and are now eight points adrift of the top six.
Steve McClaren's men had recovered from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 at home to Bristol City on Saturday, but on this occasion it was the Rams who were on the receiving end of a dramatic turnaround.
Derby looked in total control when De Sart struck on the rebound and Bent converted from Tom Ince's pass to put the home side 2-0 up.
But four minutes before the interval, Harris gave Cardiff hope when his deflected strike looped over Scott Carson in the home goal.
Harris then scored less than two minutes after the restart as he pounced on a loose ball in the penalty area.
Cardiff led for the first time when Noone skilfully found the top corner from the edge of the box, but Bent appeared to have salvaged a point for Derby when he rose higher than Sean Morrison to head in.
However, there was a final twist in added time as Bluebirds substitute Rhys Healey was tripped by Alex Pearce, allowing Ralls to calmly stroke his penalty into the bottom corner.
Derby County manager Steve McClaren:
"You score three goals at home and you expect to win but we haven't done that in the last two games. Why? Because we conceded seven goals.
"We've gone from a team who were hard to beat and defended very, very well to conceding seven in two games and you don't collect points doing that.
"This is the first defeat at home since September so let's not panic and over-react and say the wheels have come off, but we have to work hard on the training field."
Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock:
"That's what you call old-fashioned football, end-to-end stuff and that's why I love the game. It was great to be involved in one like that, especially coming out on the right side.
"It gives me a lot of pride when I see us come to a place like this and stand up and be counted, and that's why I love the Championship more than any other league because you get genuine lads in this level.
"The goal before half-time helped us enormously. We talked about not thinking about drawing the game but trying to win it. I think we can go anywhere and give people a good game now. The biggest problem we've got is ourselves."

In the 1970s and 1980s, some blood products used to treat NHS patients were imported from the US.
They included donations from prisoners, who were at risk of hepatitis C or HIV.
More than 2,000 patients across the UK are thought to have died as a result of what was called "the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS".
Now Northern Ireland's health minister has announced a reform of a payment scheme that was established for patients infected following treatment.
The changes, which will also benefit patients' families, will bring Northern Ireland into line with England.
Announcing the news, Michelle O'Neill said: "I'm well aware that, although no amount of money could ever make up for the life-changing and tragic impacts that these events have had on a number of people, those who have been adversely affected should be given the financial support that they need."
Key features of the reformed scheme include all those infected receiving an annual payment.
This will include the £500 winter fuel payment as standard, without the need to apply for it.
Those infected with hepatitis C at stage One will get a new flat rate annual payment of £3,500, rising to £4,500 from 2018/19.
Partners or spouses at the time of death of a primary beneficiary will be entitled to a £10,000 one-off lump sum where the HIV/hepatitis C infection contributed to the death of their partner or spouse.
This will apply both to those who have already been bereaved and those who are newly bereaved.
More details of the changes can be found on the Department of Health website.
Net profit came in at 36.9bn ($5.7bn; £3.96bn), the firm said.
Strong sales in China and Western Europe have seen Huawei's smartphone business grow quickly.
Popular for its low-cost devices, Huawei is one of the biggest smartphone vendors behind Samsung and Apple.
The company is also one of the world's largest telecommunications firms.
But it has been blocked from running broadband projects in the US and Australia over espionage fears.
Its telecommunications devices for carriers, such as routers, are effectively banned in the US.
However, its other businesses, such as consumer electronic products, including mobile devices, are allowed into the US market.
The firm said its three business groups generated 395bn yuan ($60.8bn; £42.3) in annual revenue worldwide, up 37% from a year earlier.
It said a major highlight for the period was consumer division revenue, which rose 73% from a year earlier.
It said the rise had been driven by demand for its "high-quality products that deliver a premium user experience, as well as Huawei's growing influence as a consumer brand."
The firm has previously said it wants to shed its low-cost appeal and produce high-margin premium devices to challenge Samsung and Apple at the top end of the market.
Sandra Brotherton was found dead by relatives at the house in Redwood Drive in Bredbury, Stockport, on New Year's Eve in 2014.
A post-mortem examination found the 60-year-old died from blood loss as a result of multiple stab wounds.
Her son David, 30, was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order at Manchester Crown Court.
He admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Senior investigating officer Duncan Thorpe said Brotherton had "a history of mental health problems" and was "clearly not well" when he attacked his mother.
He said the death had "devastated a family [who] have had to come to terms with the shock and distress of losing Sandra".
Schools and colleges in the city and neighbouring districts of Tamil Nadu were ordered shut on 12 November.
At least 280 people died in the floods, which brought normal life to a standstill and closed Chennai's international airport for six days.
The rains, the heaviest in 100 years, were blamed on climate change.
With the rains stopping last week and water levels receding, the city has been limping back to normal. A major clean-up operation is under way.

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

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

The victory helped United stay seven points clear at the top of the table.
Ferguson said: "Some of our defending after [our lead was halved] was a bit erratic and even desperate at times.
"But we managed to get through it. The name of the game is winning. There are moments where you have to defend. This was one of them."
United had opened up a two-goal lead through Robin van Persie and Nemanja Vidic before Daniel Sturridge pulled one back for the visitors.
Manchester United now have 55 points from 22 Premier League matches - this represents their highest tally at this stage of a top-flight season

And Sturridge failed to convert a late chance as the home side held on for a win which maintained their advantage over second-placed Manchester City, who later won 2-0 at Arsenal.
"I would have taken that score [against Liverpool] before the game," said Ferguson.
"The first-half performance, and until we scored the second goal, was absolutely brilliant.
"It was as good a performance as we have had for a long time and we should have been three or four up, but when they got their goal they got inspired by it.
"Their supporters got going and it was hard work after that. I am just glad we won the match."
United are now 24 points ahead of eighth-place Liverpool, and before the game Ferguson had claimed he did not know where the Merseysiders were in the table.
But he added: "Winning against Liverpool is important. It doesn't matter where you are in the league.
"Manchester United-Liverpool games are fantastic challenges.
"They are the two most successful teams in the country. Today hopefully those three points will be very important."
The Lady Cilento Hospital in Brisbane said the year-old girl will not be released "until a suitable home environment is identified".
The daughter of asylum-seeker parents suffered serious burns at an immigration camp on Nauru island.
The government says its controversial offshore detention policy is necessary.
It is aimed at preventing asylum seekers trying to reach Australia on unseaworthy boats.
Ellen Roberts, a spokeswoman for campaign group GetUp, said protesters were "standing in solidarity" with the baby's parents - who are in Brisbane - and the hospital.
"We are calling on [Prime Minister] Malcolm Turnbull to do the right thing and let the family stay," she told Reuters.
More than 500 people are currently held on Nauru, a tiny island in the South Pacific.
In September, a senate committee report said conditions there were "not adequate, appropriate or safe" and that allegations of rape and abuse should be investigated.
The centre's facilities have reportedly improved and asylum seekers are now allowed to freely move around the island.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has not commented on the girl's specific case.
"All decisions relating to a patient's treatment and discharge are made by qualified clinical staff, based on a thorough assessment of the individual patient's clinical condition and circumstances," the hospital said in a statement.
Any child who is taken to hospital is only released if a suitable environment exists, it said.
The baby suffered the burns after boiling water was accidentally spilled on her in the tent she lived in with her parents, the ABC reports.
Earlier this month, the High Court upheld the constitutionality of offshore detention, allowing the government to deport 267 people, including 37 babies, who were brought to Australia for medical treatment.
Their cases have sparked national protests under the banner #LetThemStay.
Ten Anglican and Uniting church leaders offered their churches as a refuge for those facing deportation.
Victoria's leader Daniel Andrews also wrote to Mr Turnbull offering to settle the asylum seekers in his state, a position that received the support of several other state premiers.
Mr Turnbull has said deportations of the group will be decided on a case by case basis and that they will be treated "with compassion".
The People's Pier project, which is also looking at Hastings Pier in East Sussex, is a joint scheme between the universities of Bristol and Brighton.
The £48,000 Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded study started this month and will run for 10 months.
Clevedon Pier in North Somerset is the only operational Grade I-listed pier in the country.
Dr Olu Jenzen, senior lecturer at Brighton's College of Arts and Humanities, and lead researcher, said it was important to "gain an updated understanding" of 21st Century pier culture.
"Piers are more than just metal and wood, more than treasured architectural landmarks," she said.
"They are lived experiences shaped by the mood of the time and the socio-cultural make-up of their location."
Dr Jenzen said she hoped the study would highlight "innovative ways" of using piers as urban community spaces, and to empower local communities.
Dr Nick Nourse of Bristol's department of history, who is also involved in the project, said it was important to preserve Clevedon Pier's "unique and varied" history.
"The people of Clevedon are right to be proud of their pier; it is a beautiful reminder of Victorian engineering and the then new concept of leisure," he said.
"And although the pier itself remains largely as it was when it opened in 1869, leisure, and how the pier has accommodated leisure activities, has changed many times since."
The Clevedon Pier and Heritage Trust raised the funds to help rebuild and repair the 1869 pier between 1984 and 1998 after its partial collapse in 1970.
Hastings Pier, which opened in 1872, was badly damaged in a fire in 2010. It is due to reopen in 2016 following a £14m redevelopment.
Ikpeazu has scored eight goals in 36 matches for the U's this campaign, but left the pitch during Saturday's defeat by Portsmouth with his arm strapped.

We'll have to wait until the autumn for the answer, when The Great British Bake Off begins afresh on Channel 4.
There has been some heated reaction to its new line-up, which is perhaps only to be expected for a show that revolves around cooking.
What can't be denied is the show will have some interesting new ingredients when it returns later this year.
Here's everything you need to know about the show's new stars - and what people have been saying about them.
Comedian and actor Fielding is best-known for surreal BBC sitcom The Mighty Boosh, which ran for three series between 2004 and 2007.
The 43-year-old played a number of outlandish characters in the cult comedy hit, among them nominal hero Vince Noir, the malevolent Hitcher and merman Old Gregg.
He made frequent appearances as a panellist on music quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks, eventually becoming a team captain in 2009.
He is also a familiar face on Channel 4 thanks to his appearances in Nathan Barley, The IT Crowd and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.
According to the Daily Mail, the "eccentric" performer is "known for his 1970s-style glam rock outfits" and "trippy" brand of comedy.
The paper also highlights his history of "extravagant" drug-taking while conceding he has "calmed down" in recent years.
The Guardian describes Fielding as "the wild card in the new Bake Off pack", while the Telegraph said Channel 4 had "served up a surprise" by recruiting him.
The Times, meanwhile, points out that the sometime artist "held his first exhibition as a patissiere with Soho" - suggesting perhaps a prior affinity with cakes.
Fielding's new role has been welcomed by former Bake Off contestant Selasi Gbormittah, who said the comedian was "very funny".
"It's what new bakers need in the tent," he told Good Morning Britain on Friday. "I'm very excited about it."
Radio 1 breakfast host Nick Grimshaw also expressed his approval, while admitting Fielding was "a really random choice".
"We love Noel Fielding because he is very funny and very weird," the DJ told his listeners earlier.
Born in South Africa in 1940, Prudence "Prue" Leith learned to cook at Le Cordon Bleu school in London.
She opened her first restaurant, Leith's, in 1969 and founded her own cookery school in 1974.
The columnist and novelist has written many cookbooks, most famously Leith's Cookery Bible.
The 77-year-old was a judge on the BBC's Great British Menu for 11 years before stepping down last year.
Leith, who became an OBE in 1989 and a CBE in 2010, is a former chair of the Children's Food Trust.
Her new role as Bake Off judge was widely trailed after it emerged she was interviewed by Channel 4 in January.
According to The Guardian's Mark Lawson, Leith is "about as near to a like-for-like Mary Berry replacement as it would be possible to find".
He does suggest, though, that "her slightly spikier style" will make her pairing with Paul Hollywood more "spice-and-spice" than "salt-and-sugar".
Comedian Toksvig was a member of Cambridge University's famous Footlights theatre group and wrote the society's first all-female show.
She started out in children's television before moving on to panel shows like Call My Bluff, Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You.
Her hosting duties include nine years as chair Radio 4's The News Quiz and her current role as host of the BBC's QI.
The openly gay 58-year-old was made an OBE in 2014 and co-founded the Women's Equality Party the following year.
The Telegraph's Michael Hogan called Toksvig and Fielding "a random pairing which could rise like a well-whipped souffle or sink like poorly proved dough".
Slate, meanwhile, said Toksvig would "maintain the tradition of having at least one very funny lesbian on the set at all times" - a reference to Sue Perkins, the show's previous co-host.

The man was stopped near the border with Laos after avoiding a police checkpoint.
The driver told police he had been paid 15,000 baht ($490; £300) to transport the cubs.
Thailand is one of the centres of the illegal trade in tigers. Tiger body parts are prized in many parts of Asia for their reputed medicinal properties.
The cubs were found packed into eight plastic crates.
The driver now faces the possibility of a four-year jail term or a fine of 40,000 baht ($1,300; £800) on wildlife-smuggling charges.
The animals are now in the care of wildlife officials.
Only six subspecies of tiger remain in the wild, with fewer than 1,000 tigers thought to be left in each group.

Cycling in the UK could be said to be going through a golden period in recent years.
There are no shortage of figureheads, from the Team GB cyclists' 12 medals in Rio at last month's Olympics to Chris Froome winning his historic third Tour de France in July.
But has any of this high-profile success had any impact on the levels of cycling at a grassroots level?
Figures from transport charity Sustrans Cymru at first glance could make depressing reading for those hoping to see a boost for the ordinary cyclist in Wales.
Statistics from 2012 - when the London Olympics also gave cycling a high-profile boost - showed journeys by bike accounted for 1% of the total volume of traffic in Wales.
Although this was an increase of 4% on the previous five years, the situation has not changed in the intervening four years - at least on paper, according to Sustrans Cymru.
Chris Roberts, from the organisation, said one of the important things that needed to change was how figures were recorded.
He explained: "The major issue is about the ways cycling is counted, for a start. Getting accurate figures on it is quite difficult.
"People cycle in all sorts of places and people who cycle on paths aren't counted. It's a matter of surveys, and survey numbers are quite small.
"We are arguing proper monitoring is needed."
In September 2014, the Active Travel Act became law in Wales and local authorities have had a legal duty to plan suitable routes for active travel, and improve their walking and cycling infrastructure every year.
Last month Rebecca Evans AM, the minister with responsibility for active travel, led a launch of a campaign by walking and cycling groups to encourage the public to contribute to local authorities' plans to improve travel on foot and by bike in their locality.
Mr Roberts argued there were two main strands needed to bring about a significant change in the numbers taking to their bike: the proper infrastructure and the active promotion of cycling.
"The big thing that's happening at the moment is we've now reached the stage where local authorities have to put in place their vision for the long-term future of cycling," he said.
"If they don't get this right... the whole point of the bill was there would be an integrated network travel map linking schools, shopping centres, places where people would otherwise use cars."
He said it was vital the public, as required, was involved in helping to plan the routes so they were put "in the right places" that people would actually use.
"So much of this is about having the confidence to take space off cars, having a council saying [to cyclists] 'what you're doing is an improvement and is really going to make a difference [to how people travel]'," he added.
"The specific figures for Cardiff show the number of people [cycling] is improving."
In 2013, Newport and Cardiff councils announced they would be working jointly on a cycle commuting route between the two cities.
The route, using the Marshfield area, utilised some existing roads, while other "green lanes" were surfaced to provide a continuous route.
The path opened in 2015 and while there are still some improvements to be made, Newport council's transport member Ray Truman said the council had noticed a significant increase in the number of people using the route.
He added: "We will have figures once we have the results of surveys which are planned this year prior to the installation of cycle counters for which the council has had support and funding from Welsh Government."
Mr Roberts said Cardiff council had just been awarded a grant to provide cycling infrastructure in the Greenway Road area of Trowbridge, which formed part of the route.
But he added a caveat: "That will only take you to Newport Road, where there are major issues with the cycle path, and getting from Newport Road to the city centre is really problematic."
The "gold standard" in cycling uptake is the Danish capital, Copenhagen, which is hailed round the world for the impressive numbers of two-wheeled users taking to the road - through summer and snowy winter - every day.
Although Copenhagen is already - pardon the pun - streets ahead in terms of bike use, with 41% of the population cycling to work or school every day, the city has not rested on its laurels.
It is building a network of 26 bike superhighways which will be completely separate from cars and other routes. Two have already opened, one connecting the capital city to a town 14 miles (22km) away, and a third was due to open over the summer.
Is this ultimately the only way to get more people using their bikes in Wales? Topography aside - we are mountainous, Denmark is flat - safety is a very big concern for both potential and current cyclists.
Former Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman, now British Cycling's policy adviser, has joined a raft of top cyclists including Laura Trott, Mark Cavendish and Wales' Owain Doull in signing a letter to Prime Minister Theresa May calling for the UK government to tackle "chronic underfunding" in cycling, including providing networks of segregated cycle lanes.
Boardman said he was even more determined to campaign on the issue following the death of his mother Carol after a collision with a truck while cycling in Connah's Quay in north Wales in July.
A survey by Bike Life Cardiff found only one in three people rated the Welsh capital as good or very good for cycling safety, with that figure dropping to one in four when the question related to children.
More than eight out of 10 wanted better safety for cyclists, and 90% of those who currently do not ride a bike but would like to said having traffic-free routes would help them to start cycling or cycle more. Tellingly, the figure was nearly as high among regular cyclists at 88%.
Mr Roberts said the solution would have to be a "mixture" of the options on offer.
He boiled it down to segregated routes being more appropriate in areas of high density road traffic.
But he pointed out: "Safe travel starts from your front door. Every street should be transformed to be safely used."
He said the use of 20mph speed limits and "changing street design so there isn't any area that cars can go through streets as fast as they want" would make a huge difference to how people perceived cycling.
So how does Cardiff measure up to the Danish city? There are encouraging signs: a 28% rise in trips by bike between 2013 and 2014; 11.5 million bike trips annually; nearly 80% of people want to see more spent on cycling.
Compared to the 41% commuting in Copenhagen, only 6% said they rode a bike every day, with the figure rising to 8% when it included people riding five to six days.
Last year, the council took a step towards altering the heavy balance in favour of motorised transport by backing plans for a car-free day every year in the city centre, following places such as Paris and Delhi, in a bid to reduce air pollution.
Great news for active travel, one would think - until it was revealed in July the planned day on 22 September would only see a single street closed. There were promises of reviews after the event, with the potential to increase the car-free area in future years.
Small steps...
Let's face it, we all like a good grumble. So get a few hundred people together who do the same job and it's pretty much inevitable those grumbles will be thoroughly aired.
But what did the Education Secretary have to offer teachers in England?
Not more money. George Osborne is holding fast to his limit of an average 1% pay increase across the public sector.
Instead in her speech at the NASUWT teachers' union she brandished copies of not one, not two, but three workload reviews.
One particular bone of contention is marking - or rather deep marking. That could mean the teacher marking with written remarks, the pupil responding, then the teacher commenting in writing again.
The first time I read a thread on social media about whether the watchdog, Ofsted, really cared about what colours a dialogue of this kind was written in I thought it was a joke.
The bit about glittery pens was most definitely satire.
Ofsted says it's all a myth and took to social media with coloured pens to point that out in in a pithy fashion over the weekend.
But if you speak to teachers, these myths have somehow become part of the fabric of expectations.
The marking workload review suggested that instead there should be a clear understanding of what is meaningful and what is manageable.
On lesson planning there was a message for ministers too. In future changes should be brought in with enough of a lead in time to allow proper planning.
A challenge to say the least with all the curriculum changes in England.
And on data the report advocates a minimal approach to gathering only what can definitely be useful.
All three reviews are short and couched in very sensible language. The test for weary teachers will be whether they do actually help common sense prevail.
So back to pay.
It's around now the reports from the independent public pay review bodies are usually published. These expert panels pronounce after hearing evidence from the government, employers and trade unions.
They keep a profile lower than a pancake. That means shunning the company of journalists.
The School Teachers Review body report this year will make interesting reading.
With little room to suggest an actual pay increase, it is the story the panel weaves around the data which will matter.
Within the careful paragraphs there are likely to be some more pointed sections on recruitment to teacher training, and the retention of teachers.
Who knows, they might even say something about workload.
"This is not just a good opportunity," he told an audience at a BBC debate on the fringe of the SNP conference in Aberdeen.
"It's an unambiguously a great one. Scotland has much to offer. Benefits can flow both directions."
Iran struck a deal in July over its disputed nuclear programme.
Under the terms of the agreement, once Iran delivers on its commitments the European Union and the US will end sanctions on Iran's trade, financial and energy sectors.
It is expected that this will happen sometime early next year.
Within months Iran will be producing about 500,000 barrels of oil a day, and $100bn (£65bn) of Iranian government funds, currently frozen in overseas bank accounts, will be freed up to spend in key sectors such as petrochemicals, oil and gas, mining and construction.
The economies of Scotland and Iran both rely on crude oil, and Scottish engineers were heavily involved in prospecting for oil in Iran and developing the oil industry there in the early 20th century.
But future ties between the two countries may go beyond oil.
Mr Salmond said he was taking a delegation of Scottish business leaders to Tehran shortly to promote cooperation in agricultural technology among other areas.
Scottish companies are also looking for openings in the fields of education, digital technology and gaming.
A generation of Iranian gamers grew up on Grand Theft Auto, the computer game developed by Edinburgh-based Rockstar North.
According to Mr Salmond, Scottish expertise in digitally mapping archaeological sites could one day be of interest to Iran.
Also taking part in the BBC event were a number of UK business people, with long experience of working in Iran. All agreed that exporting know-how would be a key component of future business ties with Iranian companies.
Paddy Collins is the chief executive of Aubin Group, based near Aberdeen, which supplies chemicals to the oil and gas industry.
"Iranians know what's going on and what technology they want and need," he said. "You've got a huge workforce of highly educated people who can easily be trained up."
"The key thing is transfer of technology, Iranians want that with every major project," said Nigel Coulthard, another Iran veteran, who is president of Franco-Iranian economic exchange group Cercle Iran Economie.
But underneath the optimism is a deep concern in Aberdeen about what lifting Iranian oil sanctions will mean for oil prices.
Iran says it could add one million barrels a day to its production a year after sanction are removed.
This will add to a global market is already oversupplied by three million barrels.
Some analysts say this could put more downward pressure on oil prices that are hovering around $50 a barrel for Brent crude. Last year, the price was $90.
That's not good news for Scotland's oil industry, which already has some of the highest production costs in the world at about $40 per barrel, compared with just $5 in Iran.
But Iran also says it wants to invest some $185bn in developing its oil and gas resources over the next decade, most of which will have to come from international oil giants.
Mr Salmond said: "The oil industry here is an international one. The ability of Scottish-based companies depends on international prospects."
Senior executives from Scottish-based oil services firm Amec Foster Wheeler, and industrial giant Weir Group, accompanied Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond on his August visit to Tehran.
If Scottish companies do succeed in capturing new markets in Iran they will be doing so from very modest beginnings.
Compared with the rest of Europe, the UK's trade-turnover with Iran has always been relatively low, even before sanctions.
Iranian customs authority statistics show Scotland exported $4.7m worth of goods and services to Iran in the year to March 2015, and imported almost zero.
Iran's imports globally were $52bn, including some $600m from England. In other words, Iran's trade with the UK is tiny, and negligible with Scotland.
For companies going into Iran there are also considerable political risks too.
The country may be opening up for business but it is still dominated by political hardliners who often see change as a threat to the system.
"Progress is likely to be slower than people anticipate," says Professor Ali Ansari of St Andrews University's Institute of Iranian Studies. "There will be problems inside Iran adjusting to the new realities."
So did anyone have advice for Scottish businesses thinking of investing in Iran?
"Don't go there unless you have a good Iranian partner," says Paddy Collins. "We have the know-how. They have the know-who."
"Iran is a country of 80 million people. It has a young population and it is a consumer country," said Maryam Kiaie, business development director of Rah-Shahr International, an Iranian construction group.
"Iran's opening up is brilliant news for everyone."
An accompanying radio discussion on this topic will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight on Friday, 16 October at 21:00 GMT, and then available via the podcast. It will also be broadcast on the BBC World Service's In The Balance show on Saturday, 17 October at 07:32 GMT.
The company has launched a consultation with staff affected by the planned closures.
The retail shops, which sell electrical and white goods, are predominantly sited across the north of Scotland.
The outlets, along with Scottish Hydro Electric's online shop, are expected to close by 15 May. SSE said it aimed to avoid redundancies "wherever possible".
Locations affected include Aberdeen, Crieff, Dingwall, Dunblane, Dundee, Forfar, Lerwick, Oban, Nairn and Perth.
SSE director of domestic retail Stephen Forbes said changing shopping habits and more customer choice meant the shops have been loss-making for a number of years.
He said: "Customers' shopping habits have changed considerably since these shops were first opened with more and more people shopping online, especially for larger electrical items.
"We know some of these shops have been on local high streets for a long time so we did not take this decision lightly but footfall and sales have reduced considerably and there is, unfortunately, no realistic prospect of that long-term trend reversing.
"Our priority is to ensure our colleagues are fully supported during this time and we will work to redeploy staff within the SSE group where possible."
SSE employs about 6,000 people across Scotland.
Scottish Hydro Electric shop locations:
Aberdeen, Banchory, Banff, Blairgowrie, Bowmore, Brechin, Brodick, Buckie, Campbeltown, Crieff, Dingwall, Dunblane, Dundee Wellgate, Dunoon, Forfar, Grantown On Spey, Huntly, Inverurie, Kirkwall, Kyle, Lerwick, Lochboisdale, Lochgilphead, Nairn, Oban, Perth, Peterhead, Pitlochry, Portree, Rothesay, Stonehaven, Stornoway, Thurso, Tiree, Tobermory, Ullapool, Wick.
Rachel and Nyomi Fee deny murdering the two-year-old in a house near Glenrothes on 22 March 2014 and blaming his death on another child.
Jurors at the High Court in Livingston retired to consider their verdicts on Friday morning.
They were sent home on Friday afternoon after the case was adjourned over the weekend.
The judge, Lord Burns, told them to consider the evidence dispassionately and without speculation.
Rachel, 31, and Nyomi Fee, 29, who are both originally from Ryton, Tyne and Wear, deny all the charges against them.
The trial has been running for seven weeks.
A police officer outlined the case as a man and woman appeared before Strabane Magistrates' Court on various charges.
Gyorgy Orsos and Evelyn Covacs, both of John Street, Dungannon, were charged with kidnapping and human trafficking for sexual exploitation.
Mr Orsos, 32, was also charged with two counts of raping the woman.
The couple, who are originally from Hungary, were also jointly charged with controlling prostitution.
The police investigation began after concerns were raised about the safety of a woman in Dungannon, County Tyrone, two days ago.
A detective constable told the court that when officers visited a house on Tuesday it was in a poor condition.
They noticed locks on bedroom doors, both inside and out, and found boxes of condoms.
The court heard there were signs that one room was being used for prostitution.
When officers spoke to the alleged victim, she said she had been brought to Northern Ireland from Hungary seven months ago by the two defendants.
She told police she thought she would be getting a regular job with income to help look after her family back home.
However, she claimed that Mr Orsos raped her on two occasions when she arrived and then she was forced to work in the sex trade.
The woman also told police that he smashed her mobile phone and stole her bank cards.
The court heard that his 20-year-old co-accused exploited the woman as a prostitute.
It was alleged Ms Covacs took her photo, placed adverts on escort websites and organised clients.
The woman told police all this was done against her will and both defendants were made aware of this but continued to use her in this way.
In addition to the kidnapping, human trafficking and controlling prostitution charges, Ms Covacs is further charged with concealing criminal property that was the proceeds of crime, namely money.
Mr Orsos faces additional charges of stealing the alleged victim's bankcard and destroying her mobile phone.
A defence solicitor said his clients had no criminal records and both strongly denied the offences.
He said they were a couple in a three-year relationship who arrived from Hungary without passports just over a year ago.
He said both had made prepared statements to police.
Bail was refused.
Both defendants will appear again in court in Dungannon on 14 June.
"I am deeply grateful to all those in Malawi who helped make this possible," she wrote.
The singer also appealed for privacy from the media during "this transitional time".
She got permission for the adoptions by a court in Malawi on Tuesday.
She already has two children from the African country - David, adopted in 2006, and Mercy, adopted in 2009.
Less than two weeks ago, during a charity visit to Malawi, Madonna denied reports she had applied to adopt any more children.
But court papers on Wednesday revealed the singer felt duty-bound to adopt the four-year-old girls, named Esther and Stella, from an orphanage after discovering information about their backgrounds through her charity work.
Their mother died soon after giving birth, the papers show, while their father married a different woman, leaving only their grandparents who were overwhelmed by the prospect of having to bring up the twins and their siblings.
Madonna granted permission to adopt two children from Malawi
Madonna denies adoption 'rumours'
Judge Fiona Mwale said the singer was able to supply a loving home life for the twins in "a luxurious, spacious and comfortable abode in an affluent neighbourhood" of the US.
She said that although the 58-year-old performer was "above the age normally considered within the ranges of parenting", she had supplied medical evidence to support her argument that she was in good health.
"Her charity work brings her into contact with orphanages... and it was as a result of this contact that she felt compelled to fill a gap in their lives and open up her home to them," the judge said.
Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said his government had authorised a €20bn ($21bn; £17.9bn) fund to support Italy's embattled banking sector.
The announcement came after Monte dei Paschi failed to raise €5bn from private investors.
The Italian bank said it would request a capital injection from the state to stay afloat.
Under new EU rules on bank bailouts, the bailout will entail a forced conversion of the bank's junior bonds - many of which are held by small investors - into shares.
A state bailout risks losses for thousands of ordinary retail investors, who are estimated to hold some €2bn of Monte dei Paschi's bonds.
However, the government will need to stick to new European Union rules designed to stop tax payers bearing the brunt of supporting weak banks.
Live reaction: Banks pay price for financial crisis
Italy's economy minister, Pier Carlo Padoan, said: ''This intervention will guarantee the capital requirement of Monte Paschi and will therefore allow the bank to proceed with its business plan, which European authorities will need to approve.
"It will be the third Italian bank which finally will return to operate at full throttle in support of the Italian economy and with the confidence of its savers and employees.''
The Italian parliament had already authorised the government to create a fund to prop up the banking sector.
A bailout for Monte dei Paschi was almost inevitable. The question now is how the government contains the political fallout.
The bank, which has been crippled by years of losses and loans that may never be repaid, could not be allowed to collapse. That could have triggered further failures in Italy, and potentially started a new European banking crisis.
But EU rules designed to protect taxpayers insist that banking investors now bear some of the costs of rescuing troubled lenders.
In Italy those who stand to lose money as a result include tens of thousands of ordinary savers. The government says they will be compensated.
Analysts warn that a failure to do so could provoke political unrest, potentially undermining the government, and playing into the hands of anti-establishment parties. It could also weaken other banks if savers rushed to withdraw their cash.
Founded in 1472, Monte dei Paschi is said to be the oldest surviving bank in the world.
It failed an EU stress test in July due to billions of euros of risky loans on its books, made to clients who cannot afford to repay them.
The situation has worsened since then.
On Wednesday, Monte dei Paschi revealed that it could run out of funds by next April, using up nearly €11bn.
Previously it had said it had enough funds to stay afloat for 11 months.
It added that by next May, it could burn through even more - €15bn in total.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the total trade deficit - covering goods and services - shrank to £3.5bn from £3.7bn in December.
The deficit in goods alone narrowed to £10.29bn - down from £10.45bn the previous month.
However, the goods trade deficit with the EU widened to £8.1bn, from £7.4bn.
Trade with the EU is coming under more attention because of the UK referendum on EU membership on 23 June.
Howard Archer from IHS Global Insight said UK exports remained "lacklustre in January, with the modest narrowing in the trade deficit being primarily due to a fall in imports".
The ONS said the narrowing of the total goods deficit between December and January was down to a drop in imports of £0.2bn.
Separate figures from the ONS showed that output in the UK's construction sector fell by 0.2% in January.
The figure was weaker than expected and comes after a 2.1% increase in output in December.
However, the ONS also said that during the final three months of 2015, construction output rose by 0.3%, whereas it had previously estimated that output fell by 0,4% in the quarter.

Seventeen bedrooms, a kitchen and meeting rooms were affected when the blaze tore through part of Crathorne Hall, near Yarm, Teesside, last week.
Repairs are under way and managers said they hoped the hotel would be reopened in about a month.
The public services ombudsman for Wales asked Bridgend council to pay £3,310 to Rob Johnson, 18, after he said some of his money paid for trips, but the council said it raised national issues.
Nick Bennett warned of further action if the payment was not made.
The council said it took its role as corporate parents extremely seriously.
Mr Johnson, who was two when he was fostered, said he felt "let down" by the council.
"It would make me feel a lot much more relaxed, I would have something to fall back on if anything went wrong. It would make my life better," he said.
The ombudsman's report noted the council's monitoring of the savings was "intermittent and inadequate" and amounted to maladministration.
There was no criticism of the foster carers in his report, which only dealt with the council's actions.
The council failed to keep adequate records or retain his saving books at the end of his placement, meaning it was unclear why the amounts were as low as they were.
Mr Bennett said: "The only way in which we can see justice done and to really put things right for this young man, who has just come out of care, is to make sure that he receives this payment."
The ombudsman will meet Bridgend council officials on Wednesday.
Mr Bennett said he hoped he would be able to persuade them it would be "a very disappointing message to the people of Bridgend and further afield if they cannot see that they have a responsibility to put this wrong right".
If the council does not budge, Mr Bennett warned he would issue a further special report about the case - the cost of which would have to be borne by the authority.
He added: "It might well be that there is a resistance to implementing this specific recommendation because it sets some kind of precedent.
"My interest is not in that; my interest now is in ensuring that justice is done for the individual that came to see us."
Bridgend council said it would comply with all of the ombudsman's recommendations except making the payment.
A spokesman said: "The issue here is that councils are powerless to make carers save on behalf of looked-after children as there is no legal requirement or national policy in place requiring them to do so.
"As we cannot enforce this, we are limited to asking foster carers to either save themselves or encourage the children to start saving.
"As the ombudsman has recognised that this case raises issues at a national level, it is inappropriate to seek to deal with it on a local level."
Children's Commissioner Sally Holland said the case highlighted a "crack in the system," set against a background of hundreds of children leaving care and facing struggles to make ends meet.
She added: "The Welsh Government and the Welsh Local Government Association need to be looking together at the consistency of how rights to savings and to pocket money are being applied right across Wales and to make sure that that's consistent and fair right across the board for all looked after children."
ARC21, the group behind the £240m development in a former quarry in Newtownabbey, is appealing the decision to deny it planning permission.
The facility had been intended to deal with black bin waste from six councils.
The refusal is being reviewed by the Planning Appeals Commission (PAC).
The hearing had been due to take place in May, but has now been rescheduled for October.
The PAC agreed to the new date after being told that a report on the environmental impact of the project needed to be reviewed.
Planning consultants for ARC21, representing the councils involved in the project, said surveys on newts and bats needed to be looked at again.
The head of ARC21 had also written to the commission saying it couldn't complete "due process" with its constituent councils in time.
ARC21, is the umbrella waste management group for the six councils, but there's a dispute about the appropriateness of the appeal.
The chief executive of Antrim and Newtownabbey Council, a member of ARC21, has written to the Planning Appeals Commission to say ARC21 has "no authority to proceed with the appeal" unless the council approves.
That approval has not been granted.
Col Winthai Suvaree, an official spokesman for the ruling military junta, said Thai security agencies had been co-operating with the agencies of allied countries, and from those consultations had come to the preliminary conclusion that the bombing was unlikely to be linked to international terrorism.
He also stated that Chinese tourists, who make up a high proportion of foreigners visiting the shrine, were not the target, which appears to rule out any connection with Uighur militants. Thailand controversially deported a large group of Uighur asylum-seekers to China last month.
The Thais may have asked for information from China, and agencies in neighbouring south-east Asian countries, as well from the United States, which is a treaty ally.
Thailand and the United States have a long history of intelligence collaboration, and strong collaborations between their police forces. Relations have been strained following last year's military coup, and the only official US statement so far has been that they have not been asked for assistance by Thailand.
But it is very likely the Thais will have asked for information from US intelligence agencies about well-known international groups like al-Qaeda and Islamic State.
If none of these countries has intelligence suggesting the involvement of an established militant group, that leaves two uncomfortable possibilities: one, that the bombing was the work of a new or little-known overseas group or, two, that it was the work of a Thai group.
Either would be a shocking development. Outside the four southern Malay provinces, where a violent insurgency has killed more than 6,000 people over the past decade, an attack on this scale has never occurred in Thailand.
Much depends on how efficiently the Thai authorities conduct their investigation, and so far their performance has not been encouraging.
There have been conflicting and confusing statements from different officials working for different agencies.
The crime scene was not sealed off for several hours after the explosion. The area around the shrine has now been cleaned up with surprising speed, the bomb crater cemented over, rather than leaving it for further forensic work.
Despite the availability of multiple CCTV cameras around the shrine, the police are making slow progress in identifying the names and nationalities of the suspects seen on video at the shrine just before the blast.
It is not clear how systematically they have interviewed all those who may have come into contact with these suspects, or how thoroughly they are using data like immigration records. They still do no know whether the suspects are in the country or not.
The police chief has said he believes they are looking for a group of 10 people or more, but has not said what the evidence is for this number.
In previous criminal investigations that have attracted international attention, notably the murder of two British tourists on the island of Koh Tao last September, the Thai police have seemed incompetent and disorganised. This time, given the seriousness of the attack, they may do better.
It is still too early to say.
The cardinal told an Australian Royal Commission into child abuse that a student at St Patrick's College in Ballarat said Brother Edward Dowlan was "misbehaving with boys" in 1974.
He said it was "casually mentioned" and the boy did not ask him to act.
Dowlan, who has since changed his name to Ted Bales, was jailed last year for abusing boys in the 1970s and '80s.
The many sins of 'disturbed' priest Peter Searson
Cardinal Pell is giving evidence from Rome to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse.
He was excused from flying back to Australia due to a heart condition.
A group of abuse survivors and supporters have flown to Rome to face Australia's most senior Catholic as he testifies.
Peter Blenkiron was abused by Brother Dowlan and spoke shortly after the cardinal admitted he "should have done more" about the paedophile priest.
"That's me in 1973 six months before I went to St Patrick's," Mr Blenkiron said, pointing to a photograph on his T-shirt.
"If action would've been taken that little boy wouldn't have gone through what he went thought."
Pell said it was a "disastrous coincidence" that five paedophiles came to be at the same school and parish in Ballarat in the 1970s.
His words struck a nerve with abuse survivor Stephen Wood, who has previously said he was bashed and molested starting from age 11.
"Coincidence my foot, it was clearly systemic," he said.
Cardinal Pell also denied claims that he tried to bribe the nephew of notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale.
David Ridsdale, who was abused by his uncle, has alleged that the cardinal offered him a bribe to "keep quiet".
The inquiry heard David Ridsdale did not initially want to get the police involved because his grandmother would find out about his uncle's actions.
On the eve of Cardinal Pell's final day of testimony, David Ridsale said he was hopeful the group's request to meet with the Pope would be approved.
"Most likely we will meet with Cardinal Pell and we have a good chance of a Papal meeting on Friday," he said.
"We want an understanding and an acknowledgment this is a global systemic problem."
Survivors told reporters that Cardinal Pell's office had removed some of the conditions he had set for holding the meetings.
Cardinal Pell released a statement on Wednesday where he offered to meet victims in small groups, without lawyers or media present.
He also said he would be "happy to assist with requests to meet Pope Francis", but warned he had to "rely on the officials responsible for considering these requests".
Dylan Ramsay was swimming at Hill Top Quarry in Whittle-le-Woods, near Chorley, on Sunday.
Emergency crews were called to the site shortly after 1500 BST but Dylan was pronounced dead at the scene, a police spokesman said.
Dylan's mother, Rebecca Ramsay, paid tribute to her son who she described as a "bright young man who enjoyed life to the maximum and was a thrill seeker".
"He was funny, special and a talented athlete," she said.
"He was loved by all his family and friends and was a brilliant big brother to his brothers and sister and a fantastic son."
She said the family had been left "totally devastated".
"It has left a massive hole in our lives and our family is incomplete without him, though he will never be forgotten. Life will never be the same."
Ms Ramsay urged people to learn the message of her son's death.
"As Dylan's mum, I want people to know that Dylan was a strong lad and a very capable swimmer, despite this he still found himself in trouble and unable to swim a short distance to safety.
"This message is to highlight the dangers of open water and the devastation it can bring to any normal family."
Flowers and tributes to the Parklands High School pupil have been left by the gates surrounding the quarry.
Councillor Eric Bell, of Chorley Council, said the local areas of open water had always been popular with young people.
"We are surrounded by water and the water is a big attraction to kids when it is nice weather," he said.
"This is used quite a lot and has been for many years."
An appeal court sided with the drivers, saying the lack of a comma in the state of Maine's overtime laws made the regulations too ambiguous.
The ruling has been branded "profoundly nerdy" by Quartz, while the Guardian says it "will delight grammar nerds and Oxford comma enthusiasts anywhere".
Well, Maine's law says the following activities do not qualify for overtime pay: "The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of: (1) Agricultural produce; (2) Meat and fish products; and (3) Perishable foods."
The drivers said the lack of a comma between "shipment" and "or distribution" meant the legislation applied only to the single activity of "packing", rather than to "packing" and "distribution" as two separate activities.
And because drivers distribute the goods, but do not pack them, they argued they were therefore eligible for overtime pay - backdated over several years.
A district court had earlier ruled in favour of the dairy firm.
But circuit judge David J Barron overturned that, writing: "We conclude that the exemption's scope is actually not so clear in this regard.
"And because, under Maine law, ambiguities in the state's wage and hour laws must be construed liberally in order to accomplish their remedial purpose, we adopt the drivers' narrower reading of the exemption."
Their employer, Oakhurst Dairy, is likely to appeal.
But if it were to ultimately lose, it would not be the first business to fall foul of punctuation problems, spelling mistakes and typos.
When US defence giant Lockheed Martin signed a deal to build Hercules military transport aircraft for an unnamed air force, it knew manufacturing would take several years.
So the contract it drew up in 1999 stated that the price of the planes would increase over time, to account for inflation.
Unfortunately the formula used to work out the price of the aircraft had a typo: a comma that was one decimal place out.
A senior Lockheed executive at the time was quoted as saying: "That comma cost Lockheed $70m."
But before we feel too sorry for the firm, in the previous year it had reported total profits of about $1bn.
In December 2005, stock market trading in a newly listed Japanese company was thrown into chaos by a broker's typing error.
Shares in J-Com plunged after the broker at Mizuho Securities tried to sell 610,000 shares at 1 yen each. They had meant to sell one share for 610,000 yen.
A fault at the Tokyo Stock Exchange meant the deal could not be reversed, costing Mizuho about 40bn yen (worth $333m or £190m at the time).
We're guessing the trader's bonus wasn't great that year.
Officials at Companies House - the official UK register of businesses - led to the demise of a Welsh engineering firm after a spelling mistake.
Records had been amended to show Taylor & Sons had been wound up in 2009.
But the failing business was another firm called Taylor & Son - with "Son" in the singular.
Taylor & Sons dated back to 1875 and more than 250 people lost their jobs when it went under.
Former co-owner, Philip Davison-Sebry, claimed £8.8m in damages over the mix-up.
This week the BBC learned that Companies House had agreed a confidential settlement.
Fancy flying business class from Toronto to Cyprus for $39?
Well back in 2006 you had the chance to do just that after Alitalia listed that fare instead of the usual $3,900.
In the time it took to correct the mistake, some 2,000 passengers took advantage of the bargain.
And when the airline tried to cancel the tickets, the backlash was so big that it decided to save its reputation and honour the price as a goodwill gesture.
The cost to the carrier was estimated at $7.7m.
In the world of beer collecting, Allsopp's Arctic Ale gets the pulse racing.
And when one collector put an unopened 155-year-old bottle of one of the planet's rarest beers on eBay in 2007 he was expecting a big payday.
Unfortunately it was listed as "Allsop's" with just one "p" meaning it was not widely seen and received just two bids, closing at a winning price of $308.
Two months later the winning bidder sold the beer on.
Listed as "Allsopp's", he received more than 150 offers, and sold it for more than $500,000.
Or so he thought.
Sadly for him though, it later emerged that the winning bid had in fact come from a prankster. The owner reportedly decided to keep the bottle in a safety deposit box instead.
The $3m (£2m) effort will move the 400-tonne Gay Head Lighthouse in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
The 160-year-old structure helped mariners navigate foggy coastlines during the peak of the whaling trade in the region in the 1800s.
The historic lighthouse should arrive at its destination farther away from the Atlantic Ocean by Saturday.
As it stands now, it is only 46ft (14 metres) from the edge of a cliff.
Gay Head Lighthouse is a popular tourist destination for holidays, on the western side of Martha's Vineyard.
The lighthouse has been hoisted off the ground to prepare for the move.
The lighthouse will be passed along steel beams and rollers by hydraulic jacks, which will move it 129 feet (39 meters) southeast of its current location.
Within two years, the lighthouse would have been too near to the edge to move safely.
The call to move it has become more urgent in recent years due to landslides, strong ocean waves and groundwater, eroding the surrounding Gay Head cliffs.
The World Happiness Report measures "subjective well-being" - how happy the people are, and why.
Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and and Finland round out the top five, while the Central African Republic came last.
Western Europe and North America dominated the top of table, with the US and UK at 14th and 19th, respectively.
Countries in sub-Saharan Africa and those hit by conflict have predictably low scores. Syria placed 152 of 155 countries - Yemen and South Sudan, which are facing impending famine, came in at 146 and 147.
The World Happiness Report was released to coincide with the United Nations' International Day of Happiness on 20 March.
It mainly relies on asking a simple, subjective question of more than 1,000 people every year in more than 150 countries.
"Imagine a ladder, with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top," the question asks.
"The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?"
The average result is the country's score - ranging from Norway's 7.54 to the Central African Republic's 2.69. But the report also tries to analyse statistics to explain why one country is happier than another.
It looks at factors including economic strength (measured in GDP per capita), social support, life expectancy, freedom of choice, generosity, and perceived corruption.
Can we all be as happy as Scandinavians?
This year's report also contains a chapter titled "restoring American happiness", which examines why happiness levels in the United States are falling, despite constantly-increasing economic improvement.
"The United States can and should raise happiness by addressing America's multi-faceted social crisis - rising inequality, corruption, isolation, and distrust - rather than focusing exclusively or even mainly on economic growth," the authors said.
"America's crisis is, in short, a social crisis, not an economic crisis."
Jeffrey Sachs, the director of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which published the report, said President Donald Trump's policies were likely to make things worse.
"They are all aimed at increasing inequality - tax cuts at the top, throwing people off the healthcare rolls, cutting Meals on Wheels in order to raise military spending. I think everything that has been proposed goes in the wrong direction," he told Reuters.
The report also suggests that professional "white collar" jobs are associated with improved happiness over "blue collar" roles - but that having a job at all is one of the biggest factors.
And while "those in well-paying jobs are happier and more satisfied with their lives", that effect has diminishing returns - "an extra $100 of salary is worth much more to someone at the lower end of the income distribution than someone already earning much more."

The report has been published for the past five years, during which the Nordic countries have consistently dominated the top spots.
The clear dominance of those countries - and Denmark in particular - has encouraged other nations to adopt the Danish concept of "Hygge" - a cultural concept of cosiness and relaxation.
The pilot of the Rotorsport MT-03 aircraft died in the crash at Turweston Aerodrome in Buckinghamshire on 28 July 2016.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said there was no evidence of mechanical problems with the aircraft.
Its report said the pilot had a serious "undiagnosed cardiac condition".
He died "as a result of multiple injuries sustained in the accident", the report said.
The severity of the pilot's cardiac condition meant it may "caused unconsciousness", causing the crash.
The AAIB report said he was an experienced private aeroplane pilot who was nearing the end of a course to get a gyroplane pilot's licence.
He had completed 41 hours of gyroplane flight instruction and was undertaking solo flights and practising landings.
A gyroplane, sometimes called an autogyro, uses an unpowered rotor to develop lift and an engine-powered propeller to drive it forward.
The former UK PM admitted he was still "a bit baffled" by the rules of the sport - despite seeing a previous game with avid fan President Obama in 2012.
Mr Cameron, who has kept a low profile since leaving Parliament in September, is giving a speech in the US later.
He tweeted: "My second basketball game with a US president and I'm still a bit baffled by some of the rules!"
He also congratulated one of the teams - SMU Men's Basketball - adding their hashtag #ponyup at the end of the message.
The former PM is on a trip to the US where he is set to give a speech at DePauw University, on "The Historic Events of 2016 and Where We Go From Here". It will be among his first public speaking appearances since he quit as PM in June, and resigned as an MP in September.
He is treading a well worn path - Tony Blair gave a speech there in 2008, the year after he resigned as PM, and John Major spoke there in 2001.
It is the second US basketball game which Mr Cameron has attended a US president. He and Barack Obama enjoyed a college basketball championships game in Dayton, Ohio in March 2012.
David Chadwick, 58, was released from prison recently having been sentenced to three years.
Dorset Police were searching for Chadwick who they said had breached his licence conditions.
On Saturday evening detectives said Chadwick had surrendered to police in Suffolk and would be returned to jail.
An appeal for sightings had been issued after Chadwick was spotted on a train. He had also hitchhiked as he made his way east across southern England.
Det Insp Joe Williams from the Dorset force said: "Earlier this evening David Chadwick presented himself to police officers working in Lowestoft, Suffolk. He will be immediately recalled to prison.
"I would like to thank members of the public, as well as the media, for their assistance in this investigation."
The book will trace the rap crew's origins as a New York high school punk band through to their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Band member MCA, real name Adam Yauch, died from cancer aged 47 in May 2012.
Publishers Faber & Faber said the book was "a landmark acquisition".
"Beastie Boys have entertained us for years with classic albums like Paul's Boutique and Hello Nasty," said Faber's Lee Brackstone.
"They will now entertain us on the page, in this book which celebrates the 30-plus years of their unique story and influence."
Initially a hardcore punk band called the Young Aboriginals, Yauch and co-founders Mike D, aka Mike Diamond, and Ad Rock, real name Adam Horowitz, met in high school in Brooklyn.
They switched to hip-hop, renamed themselves the Beastie Boys and, in 1986, launched their debut album Licensed To Ill.
Its hit singles included (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) and No Sleep Till Brooklyn.
Although the music was acclaimed, the band's brash and bratty personas earned them more than their share of negative headlines.
Their penchant for wearing Volkswagen badges around their neck was also blamed for a rise in car vandalism.
But subsequent albums such as Paul's Boutique and Ill Communication are considered classics of the genre and cemented their reputation as one of America's most popular and enduring rap outfits.
In 2009 the band delayed their release of their album Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 following news that Yauch was suffering from cancer of the salivary gland.
Although Part 1 was delayed indefinitely, the album's second part was released by the band in 2011.
The band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Yauch died just a few weeks later.
Musicians from across the spectrum paid tribute, with electronic DJ Moby calling him "a wonderful, generous, remarkable and inspiring man and friend".
The new book, to be compiled by hip-hop writer Sacha Jenkins, will include contributions from writers exploring Yauch's musical legacy.
The Resolution Foundation study supports the principles of universal credit (UC) but calls for far-reaching changes to address "flaws".
Suggestions include allowing second earners to retain more of their benefits when they start work.
The government said universal credit was helping claimants into work faster.
The report follows a nine-month review by the think tank.
It says that with significant numbers of families due to start claiming UC next year, the start of a new Parliament provides a "perfect opportunity to reflect" on its design.
"Failure to revisit and revise policies now... would represent a missed window of opportunity that may not present itself again once the system becomes fully bedded in," it says.
The introduction of universal credit began under the coalition government, driven by Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan-Smith.
It has, however, been beset by difficulties and "remains a monumental challenge for the newly elected government", according to report chairman Nick Timmins.
"For much of its life, it has looked like a rudderless tanker heading for the rocks," writes Mr Timmins in his foreword.
Mr Timmins says the report's aim is to suggest updates and reforms to allow UC to cope with changing economic conditions and balance the needs of tax payers and claimants.
The authors welcome the stronger incentives to work provided by UC's "work allowances", which allow people to retain their full benefit entitlements as they enter work and earn up to a certain level.
But they say some second earners on low incomes will lose out.
For example, they calculate, a second earner starting work on an annual salary of £10,600 would see their disposable income rise by £3,600 under UC, considerably lower than the £6,000 rise under the current system.
They therefore recommend adding a new "work allowance" to allow second earners to keep more of their benefits, increasing disposable income in this case to £7,000 a year.
They also recommend:
The report also urges greater efforts to make the system more user-friendly and less bureaucratic.
Overall, the authors say, their suggestions could help between 180,000 and 460,000 more people into work.
But, they argue, with nearly two-thirds of poor families already having someone in work, UC should focus more on helping them escape low pay.
David Finch, a senior analyst at Resolution Foundation, said that while UC had "many advantages" over the current system, "it hasn't caught up with big changes in the UK's labour market, such as rising in-work poverty".
He said: "The government's flagship welfare reform programme needs a reboot so that it can deal with the big labour market challenges of the next decade and beyond, such as helping people escape low pay, rather than trying to tackle the problems of the past."
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said research showed UC was effective.
"Universal credit is simplifying the welfare system to make work pay, and research shows that it's getting claimants back into work faster and helping them earn more," he said.
"Our reforms under UC also make it easier to start work if you're a parent, with increased help towards registered childcare costs, no matter how many hours you work.
"When fully rolled out, universal credit will make three million people better off, with a £7bn boost to the economy every year."
This month thousands of Romanians took to the streets to demand action against dubious sales of forested areas.
Green campaigners back the new code, hoping it will curb illegal logging.
The anti-corruption agency DNA is investigating some officials in the state forest administration Romsilva, as well as some politicians.
The Carpathian Mountains, sweeping in a big arc through Romania, have vast tracts of virgin forest, home to almost half of Europe's wild population of brown bears, wolves and lynx.
But Gabriel Paun, head of activist group Agent Green, complains illegal logging has inflicted losses of at least €5bn (£3.6bn; $5.7bn) on Romania since the communist regime was toppled in 1989.
Deforestation has reduced Romania's forest cover to about 26% of the total land area, he said, "but scientists say 36% should be the minimum".
"Here the national parks are administered by forestry people, but in other countries the parks administration is independent from forestry," he told the BBC.
Agent Green reports that 366,000ha (904,020 acres) of Romanian forest was illegally chopped down in 1990-2011 - some 80m cubic metres (2.8bn cu ft) of wood.
A majority of MPs in the Romanian parliament approved the new forestry code on Wednesday, despite disagreements over it.
Prime Minister Victor Ponta's centre-left Social Democratic Party (PSD), the largest group in parliament, backed the code. The PSD emerged out of the old Communist Party.
It was a setback for President Klaus Iohannis, leader of the centre-right National Liberal Party (PNL), who had called for revisions to the text, arguing that it might infringe EU competition law.
He also said illegal logging was serious enough to warrant investigation by the Romanian National Security Council (CSAT).
Romanian politicians are even considering imposing a temporary ban on timber exports, so that the legal loopholes in forestry management can be sorted out.
The officials under investigation by the DNA include Romsilva head Adam Craciunescu, PSD politicians Ioan Adam and Viorel Hrebenciuc, and PSD senator Ilie Sarbu, who is Prime Minister Ponta's father-in-law.
There are suspicions that some 43,000ha of forest was sold off illegally, when state-owned land was returned to private ownership. The losses to Romsilva are estimated at €300m.
About half of Romania's 6.3m ha of forest is in state hands, the other half held privately.
Doina Pana, the PSD politician who drafted the new forest code, told the BBC that illegal logging had occurred "especially in private forests, not in the forests managed by Romsilva".
Ms Pana said the new code would make it easier for the many smallholders - owning 10ha or less of forest land - to make money legally, instead of resorting to illegal logging. It would also help them "through anti-monopoly measures", she said.
An Austrian firm, Holzindustrie Schweighofer, dominates Romania's timber processing sector. It operates four sawmills and a fifth - at Reci - will open soon, giving the firm a 29% share of all the Romanian resinous wood on the market.
In a letter to Mr Ponta published on its website, Schweighofer objected to a clause in the forestry code which sets a 30% maximum market share per tree species for any one timber firm.
According to Schweighofer, that 30% limit violates EU competition law and, if adopted, the firm could sue the Romanian authorities at an international tribunal and dismiss workers from its Romanian sawmills.
In a statement to the BBC, the European Commission said it was assessing the planned forestry changes in Romania.
It warned that the new legislation must comply with EU law. "While the rules for the management of forests - whether state-owned or privately owned - are set at the level of member states, trade in logs and other forest products is subject to the EU's rules ensuring the free circulation of goods on the EU internal market, as well as to EU rules governing trade with third countries," it said.
Gabriel Paun praised the forestry code's 30% limit, as well as the new rules for Romania's many private smallholdings. "Currently there is half a million hectares with no management structures," he complained.
Mr Paun accuses Schweighofer of complicity in illegal logging - something the firm strongly denies.
"We totally refuse wood from national parks - even though it is legal from certain regions according to the Forestry Law. Every supplier who does not adhere to our rules or who breaks the law loses his contract with us," the firm says.
Schweighofer opened its first Romanian sawmill in 2003 at Sebes, and it has invested €778m in its Romanian wood processing operation. It says it is employing more than 3,000 Romanians at its sawmills and more than 10,000 in related jobs.
In a video - now on YouTube - Mr Paun reported that he monitored truckloads of logs which police confirmed as illegally harvested. But he was violently prevented from filming at the gates of the sawmill in Sebes.
Mr Paun told the BBC that he had met Schweighofer managers since that incident and "they presented a better checking mechanism for refusing wood from a national park - we welcome that model".
Allegations were also made against the company by a Washington-based group, the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA).
An undercover video on the EIA's website appeared to link Schweighofer to illegal logging. Again the company denied the allegation.
Romania joined the EU in 2007 and is among Europe's main timber producers. More Romanians work in forestry and wood processing than is the case in most other EU states.
The EU's Timber Regulation obliges timber firms to make sure they do not source and place on the EU market products made from illegally harvested logs.
But Romania's experience suggests that enforcement remains a problem, and that the EU may have more to worry about than just illegal tropical timber.

Shadow Sports Minister Clive Efford MP told the BBC: "What has gone on in school sport is absolutely disastrous."
Education Secretary Michael Gove is expected to announce a new strategy for school sport later this month.
We need a long-term strategy blueprint to get sport into our schools. If we don't, we're storing up a huge problem for ourselves, for the economy and for the NHS. Doing nothing isn't an option
Despite record investment in elite and community sport, the Government has made some cuts in schools sports.
Ministers say they are spending £1bn on youth sport over the next five years through Sport England.
But the government has abolished ringfenced funding for the national School Sport Partnerships (SSPs) and ended recommendation for two hours of PE in schools each week.
The SSP network enabled well-equipped 'hub' secondary schools to lend PE teachers to those that needed them, especially primary schools.
Two years ago it lost its £162m funding. Following protests, £65m was reinstated allowing the programme to run partially. But that is due to cease before the start of the next academic year in September, leaving concern about the future.
Against this backdrop, the government is preparing its strategy, with the help of advisor and London 2012 chairman, Lord Coe.
The focus will be on primary school children, but Efford is concerned that the Olympic legacy has already been undermined.
He said: "The SSPs were the foundation for building a national sports plan where we could get children active and keep them active.
"They took £162m, all of the budget, away from the Youth Sport Trust, who organised it. What we've seen is a postcode lottery now.
"That was just completely destroyed, we have nothing. The Olympic legacy is seriously undermined by what's going on in our schools.
"We need a long-term strategy blueprint to get sport into our schools.
"If we don't, we're storing up a huge problem for ourselves, for the economy and for the NHS. Doing nothing isn't an option."
Research has shown a 60% drop-off in the time dedicated to organising school sport, while a third of children leaving primary school are now obese or overweight.

An Ofsted report into levels of sport in schools over the past four years will be published in the next fortnight and is expected to show a fall in participation.
In addition to the £1bn spending on youth sport, the government also intend to extend the School Games, a scheme intended to boost competitive sport. Prime Minister David Cameron has said competitive team sports will be made compulsory for all primary-age children.
Lord Coe told the BBC plans were being put together by the Department of Education.
"The focus will be on primary school sport and that's important," he said.
"That's moving in the right direction. What we really want to do is give good quality physical education within the timetable, competitive sport in a properly managed environment, and give young people - particularly in state schools - the opportunity of high quality PE."
The 22-year-old has made 32 appearances since joining the U's from Crystal Palace on an 18-month deal in January 2015, after a loan the previous season.
Wynter missed three months of this season after a clash of heads with team-mate Tom Eastman against Tottenham in the FA Cup on 30 January.
He returned on Saturday against Burton, when Colchester were relegated.
"I'm pleased that I've signed a new deal, it gives me a bit of stability and allows me to concentrate fully on playing football," he told the club website.
"It's been a frustrating season for me personally but hopefully, that's all behind me now."
The length of his new contract has not been disclosed.
The incident took place in the tribal Kinnaur region, bordering Tibet.
Officials said the avalanche buried eight people in two homes in Kafnu village, some 200km (124 miles) from the state capital, Shimla. Three of them were later rescued.
There has been heavy snow in the remote Kinnaur region since Monday.
Popular scenic villages like Kalpa, the regional headquarters, are under more than 1.82m (6ft) of snow, officials say.
Last month, five people were killed in an avalanche in Kinnaur. At least 38 yaks, domesticated and owned by the locals, were also killed.
Much of Shimla has also been cut off - the area is without electricity as power cables and poles have been uprooted in many places.
The 29-year-old met with his brother, Bristol back Luke, at their team hotel the night before Bristol's 24-23 Premiership win at Sale on 1 January.
The RFU investigation found Bristol were aware of some of Sale's defensive tactics but there was "no evidence to demonstrate" a change in strategy.
Arscott was given a written warning.
In addition, Arscott - who was suspended by Sale on 4 January and sacked 16 days later after an internal investigation - will be required to undertake a relevant World Rugby education module.
The RFU interviewed 25 people from both clubs after it was alleged Arscott breached regulation 17, which relates to anti-corruption and betting.
He was cleared of breaching that law as there was no evidence of betting or fixing, but the details that were passed were "inside information" relating to regulation 17.2.
Bristol boss Mark Tainton insisted "nothing of any sporting value" had been passed on to his coaches when it was claimed initially that Arscott had provided them with confidential details.
The RFU stated that two Bristol coaches were aware of Sale's proposed defensive structure and line-out details, but it was found that they "did not fail to comply with the relevant reporting requirements in relation to the inside information that the club received".
Neither Tom nor Luke Arscott entered the field during the match.
RFU head of discipline Gerard McEvilly said: "In determining what action should be taken following the investigation, we have taken into account that Tom Arscott has already paid a heavy price for his conduct in having been dismissed from his employment by Sale Sharks.
"These issues have arisen because of the inappropriate sharing of information while players were socialising in the same hotel before the match.
"Therefore, the RFU is strongly recommending to both clubs that all their players are reminded of their contractual and ethical obligations to their employing clubs and of the problems that may arise should confidential/inside information be passed between individuals."
Arscott, who has played for Bristol, Plymouth, Worcester and London Welsh, has responded to the decision by saying he wants to start playing again.
"I wish to state that although I am disappointed with the outcome, I would now like to draw a line under this episode," he said in statement from the Rugby Players Association.
"This has been an extremely difficult period for me, my family and friends and I would like to thank all those who have supported me. I look forward to resuming my playing career as soon as possible.
"I will not be making any further statement on the matter."
Andrew Green, 33, was last seen driving away from Yew Tree Farm in Chorley, near Bridgnorth, on 22 June.
About 70 people searched an area around the farm on Saturday at the request of this family.
About 50 took part in a second search in an area further away from his home on Sunday.
Mr Green's mother, Julie Green, said she was delighted so many people gave up their time to take part.
"I can't describe how wonderful everyone has been," she said.
Mr Green was last seen by his partner after putting his two young daughters to bed.
He had been going through the breakdown of a relationship.
His car was found abandoned a mile from his home.
More than 500 acres were covered during the search on Sunday.
Mrs Green said it was emotionally challenging.
"It's hard, but I have just got to stay strong," she said. "I keep hoping and praying he comes home or we find him."
Sandra Weir, 40, is accused of killing her neighbour Mary Logie, 82. Both women lived in Green Gates in Leven.
The pensioner was found dead in her home on 5 January.
Ms Weir appeared on petition at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court and made no plea or declaration to five charges. She was fully committed for trial.
She initially appeared in court last week facing a single charge of murder. Prosecutors have now added a further four charges.
She now faces charges of murder, theft, theft by opening a lockfast place, attempting to pervert the course of justice and attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
Solicitor David Fitzpatrick made no motion for bail on her behalf and she was remanded in custody.
The sale of the shares, worth up to $3.3bn (£2.2bn), will mean that the UK bank owns less than half of Citizens.
It is part of a plan by the state-owned bank to concentrate more on its main UK retail business and reduce its operations abroad.
RBS bought Citizens for $440m in 1988 and turned it into one of the biggest regional banks in the US.
It first sold part of the US company in September last year in an initial public offering.
RBS, which has been 80%-owned by the UK government since being bailed out in 2008, is expected to have sold all of its stake in Citizens by the end of 2016.
On Friday, Citizen shares closed at $24.80 each - a rise of 15% since they started trading in September.
RBS has been trying to streamline its business in order to return to profit. It is pulling out of 25 countries, lowering the number that it operates in to 13.
Thousands of job losses are expected - most of which are likely to be outside Britain.
"The days when global domination mattered more to RBS than great customer service are well and truly over," chief executive Ross McEwan said in February, when the company reported results.
"RBS will be stronger, it will be simpler and it will be much more focused on the UK large corporates and the western European corporates and our big financial institutions," he said.
The bank reported a loss for 2014, largely as a result of writing down the value of its Citizens business by $4bn.
However, its underlying profits showed it benefitting from an improving UK economy. | As commuters are encouraged to take to two wheels on Cycle to Work Day, BBC News looks at the successes and challenges for cycling in Wales.

The male soldier, serving with the Royal Regiment of Scotland, was shot on the military ranges in Otterburn during a live firing exercise at about 23:15 BST on Monday.
Northumbria Police said the soldier sustained a "serious head wound" and was pronounced dead at the scene.
He has not been identified by the Ministry of Defence.
Latest updates from the North East of England
An MOD spokesman said the Defence Safety Authority was investigating. It said there were no details on whether any other personnel were involved.
Armed Forces Minister Mike Penning said: "My thoughts are with the soldier's family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time.
"The safety of our personnel is our absolute priority and while deaths in training don't happen often, any death is a tragedy.
"As well as a police investigation, MOD accident investigators are looking into the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident."
A police cordon is in place at the training area and the soldier's next-of-kin have been informed, police say. The force said no arrests had been made.
Between January 2000 and 20 February 2016, 135 UK armed forces personnel died while on training or exercise.
Eleven of those 135 deaths occurred during a live fire exercise.
The police are now investigating and they need to work out if anything is suspicious, if any crime has been committed. I think it's probably unlikely.
These are live fire exercises, in other words real ammunition is being used. I understand it was just rifles at the time; it wasn't mortars or artillery involved in this particular exercise.
There are strict controls in place, and there are marshals involved to supervise the safety.
Also, there are strict lines of fire where the live fire goes, to ensure that those taking part are not hurt. But clearly something went wrong in this incident.
This wasn't basic training, this was someone who was already trained and was going through a refresher. If the police don't find anything suspicious then the army will have their own investigation into what went wrong.

"He told me he purchased the ticket out of sympathy for the physically-challenged seller," local police official UK Shahjahan told the BBC.
Three days later, Mr Sheikh discovered he had won the prize.
He spent two days at the police station, keeping safe his valuable ticket, until the banks re-opened after the Hindu holiday of Shivaratri.
"He came here on Sunday saying he feared for his life," another police official, AV John, said.
"He came with his luggage and everything... It was difficult for him to handle the pressure and excitement. By Tuesday, he was normal."
Mr Sheikh, who is married and has an eight-month-old daughter, was planning to work and save the money to build a house.
His relatives were reportedly planning a big reception in his village in Bardhaman district.

PepsiCo will be the official food and drinks partner of the NBA, the Women's National Basketball Association, NBA Development League, and USA Basketball.
The deal, which starts next season, covers North America, and also China, where NBA is growing in popularity.
Financial terms of the sponsorship were not disclosed.
"The NBA has established itself as one of the most exciting and innovative sports leagues in the world," PepsiCo chief executive Indra Nooyi said.
"We look forward to working together to redefine the meaning of sports marketing partnership."
The new deal will involve the Pepsi range, as well as the company's Aquafina and Lipton Brisk drinks, and Doritos and Ruffles crisp brands. Mountain Dew will become the NBA's lead soft drink brand.
Coca-Cola said it had "made the decision not to renew our global contract" with the NBA, but would continue sponsoring individual teams and players.
Meanwhile, Coca-Cola said it had signed a multi-year agreement with the US Soccer Federation and Major League Soccer, and that it would be the beverage sponsor for the US football and the Mexican national teams' US tours.

Borthwick is believed to have been approached by Lions boss Warren Gatland about a role on the coaching staff for the tour of New Zealand.
"For any coach it would be a huge honour," ex-England captain Borthwick told BBC 5 live.
"But right now my focus is solely on England v Argentina this Saturday."
Borthwick, who won 57 caps for England during his playing career, retired in 2014 to join the Japan coaching team under current England coach Eddie Jones.
He then moved to Bristol following the Rugby World Cup, but was quickly recruited by the RFU to join Jones' staff.
Borthwick has masterminded England's forward effort this year, with the team on a run of 11 consecutive wins in 2016.
"It would be an honour if I was asked to be involved [with the Lions]. It would then be something I would discuss with Eddie," Borthwick added.
Jones and RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie have already confirmed that any coach approached by the Lions would go with their blessing.
Meanwhile, Borthwick thinks Saracens lock George Kruis is ready to play Test rugby again after his ankle injury.
Kruis missed England's first two autumn Tests following surgery, but has joined up with the squad ahead of the match with the Pumas.
"He has worked so hard to get back from injury so quickly," Borthwick said.
"He is a top quality player. What's great is we have competition for places [in the second row]."
Vice-Chairman Kirk Kristiansen told The Wall Street Journal an employee had misinterpreted the company's policy on political neutrality.
In October, Ai said his request was declined because Lego considered his planned exhibition to be too political.
The artist is known for criticism of the Chinese government.
"It was an internal mistake," Mr Kirk Kristiansen said.
He said the decision had been made "very low in the organisation by our consumer service department", and that Lego's board had not been involved at the time.
Mr Kirk Kristiansen's son and successor Thomas added: "It is a typical example of what can go wrong in a big company."
Lego's refusal to provide bricks for Ai's artwork on political dissidents prompted people around the world to donate bricks at "Lego collection points" set up in different cities.
The artist ended up making a new series of artworks based on the incident as a commentary on freedom of speech and political art.
In January, Lego decided to stop asking bulk customers what they wanted to do with the bricks.
It said such customers should instead make clear that the company does not endorse works shown in public.
Ai later told the BBC that Lego's U-turn was a "victory for freedom of speech".
The artist also appeared to react to Lego's decision by posting a picture on Instagram of a young boy sticking bricks onto his face, accompanied by a grinning emoji caption.
The Swiss, 34, meets sixth seed Milos Raonic - who is advised by McEnroe - on Friday in his 11th SW19 semi-final.
"I've never seen someone love playing as much as Roger. That's the thing what I admire more than anything about him," said McEnroe, a three-time winner.
"The one thing I wish I could have taken from him is his joie de vivre."
The American added: "He's so competitive but is able to shrug off his losses so well."
Federer, a 17-time Grand Slam winner, has already won more major titles in the Open Era than any other man and is gunning for an eighth Wimbledon title that would move him into an outright lead ahead of Pete Sampras.
The third seed showed remarkable determination to reach the last four, fighting back from two sets down to beat Croatian ninth seed Marin Cilic on Wednesday.
Now he faces another tough test against Raonic.
"It is going to be an interesting battle and about how well Roger can handle Milos' serve and forehand," Lleyton Hewitt, the 2002 Wimbledon champion, told BBC Sport.
"I give Federer a good chance because he played himself into form in the quarter-final against Cilic.
"He has the added confidence now of thinking he could have been out of the tournament, surviving a scare and is now in another semi-final.
"Roger, physically, could be feeling it after the Cilic match, but the kind of match he is going to have to play against Raonic will be nowhere near as physically taxing.
"It will be quicker, deeper points out there."
Federer tried to play down expectations ahead of this year's tournament, claiming he was not even thinking about reaching his 28th major final after an injury-hit year.
The Swiss needed knee surgery in January - after injuring himself running a bath for his twin daughters - then pulled out of last month's French Open with a back injury.
"He's starting to get a couple more niggles than he has had in the past but it is all about how well he has handled his body for so many years," said Hewitt.
"He plays a real efficient type of tennis, how he moves around the court is different to a lot of other players. We're harder demanding on our bodies in some way.
"How he handles the pressure and expectation is remarkable. Every time he goes on court he is top dog and someone is trying to knock him off.
"That is not an easy thing to deal with and very few before have been able to stay at the game for so long.
"That is what everyone admires about him."

Many experts believe 25-year-old Raonic, aiming to become the first Canadian man to reach a Grand Slam final, has the tools to push Federer all the way.
The 6ft 5in right-hander has added more aggression into his game since McEnroe joined his camp, blasting down 114 aces - more than anyone else in this tournament - and stepping forward more to pressurise his opponent.
"Raonic has played extremely well this year," said Hewitt.
"His match against Andy Murray at the Australian Open, despite him eventually losing in five sets, was the best I had seen him move, especially around the baseline.
"Now he has taken that onto the grass court.
"He has such a dangerous game, not just his serve but also his forehand. He is learning to move a lot better coming forward into the net and that has added another dimension to his game.
"But we saw in the 2005 final against Andy Roddick how Federer was able to beat heavy firepower."
Arguably the greatest player of all time is staring back at you from across the net. He's playing on his favoured surface. In a venue where he has been there, done it and won countless times - including a 2014 semi-final win against Raonic.
Do those factors combine to leave his opponents - even those who have also won Grand Slams - slightly nervous?
"When he was at the top of the game it was hard to escape that aura he had," said Hewitt, who lost to Federer in the 2005 Wimbledon semi-final.
"He was hardly losing matches through the year. I always knew it would be awfully tough and knew I would have to play on the edge a little bit.
"Everyone needed to play as well as they possibly could and need him to be a little bit off.
"That's easier said than done. At his very best, his sliced backhand and how he was able to change pace was key.
"It will still be key in this year's semi-final because Raonic will be trying to hit ball as hard as he can.
"It is about whether Roger can block those balls and then use his net game with his sliced backhand to be effective."
They were finding it difficult to get homes and jobs, so they held protests.
The Loyalist community held their own protests in response.
Even before this, the different views of both sides of the community was a long-standing problem, so there was a lot for people to get annoyed about.
British troops were sent in to deal with the problem, but they soon came into conflict with an armed group who wanted a totally independent Ireland - the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
It led to armed Loyalist groups attacking the Catholic community.
From the 1970s to the 1990s, armed groups on both sides held violent campaigns.
The IRA carried out deadly bombings in Britain and Northern Ireland. Armed Loyalist groups responded by killing Catholics.
Thousands of people died. The conflict is known as the Troubles.
Murray, the 2013 champion, faces Australia's Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round on Monday.
"There are some pretty decent players left in my way, so I'm not getting carried away," Murray wrote in his BBC Sport column.
Day seven also features Roger Federer and Serena Williams.
Kyrgios has yet to beat Murray in any of their previous four meetings.
Yet the 21-year-old is confident of causing an upset against the world number two after the 15th seed turned on the style to outclass Spain's Feliciano Lopez on Middle Sunday.
"I definitely have the tools to beat Andy," he said. "I definitely feel like he's beatable. He's only human, but at the same time he's a great player.
"He is one of the best in the world and is probably the favourite now Novak is out.
"I've got a game plan, we both know what to expect and I'm really looking forward to it. I know what to do but it's hard to execute it against such a top player like him."
Kyrgios has come under fire for his on-court behaviour, but Murray believes the media is guilty of "winding him up the whole time".
"Nick is an extremely good server who is improving all of the time," he added.
"He likes the big courts, the big matches and has performed well in those situations before.
"Every time he's in here you're trying to wind him up the whole time. It's not really fair on him, to be honest."
Lleyton Hewitt, former Wimbledon champion: "Nick will have to use all his weapons and firepower. Andy will try to turn it into a physical battle.
"Nick plays pretty short points and it's hard to turn points into a physical battle against him. Andy backs himself against anyone when it gets physical, especially over five sets and I'm sure that's what he's going to try and do again.
"It's how many balls Andy keeps getting back. Can he keep making Nick play the extra ball? But Nick on his day can hit anyone off the court."
John Lloyd, 1977 Australian Open finalist: "If Nick Kyrgios stays like this, with this concentration and focus, Andy Murray will be in for a tough match. Andy will win. He might drop a set, possibly two, but he will come through."
Tim Henman, four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist: "Andy has to stay focused on the things he can control - that's his preparation and performance. Djokovic has dominated but Andy has separated himself from the others as world number two.
"He was my favourite before the tournament and still my favourite now. But there's a long way to go."
Steve Johnson will draw inspiration from doubles partner Sam Querrey as he attempts to pull off an upset against seven-time Wimbledon champion Federer.
Querrey produced a huge shock when he beat Djokovic on Saturday and unseeded Johnson, in the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time, said his fellow-American's exploits had given him hope.
"You see Novak lose, you sense the locker room, like believe there is a chance," the 26-year-old said.
Federer has yet to drop a set at Wimbledon 2016.
Querrey will return to action, facing Nicolas Mahut two days after pulling off the biggest shock of the tournament so far.
Querrey knocked out defending champion Djokovic in a four-set thriller to end Djokovic's run of 30 successive victories.
His opponent Mahut completed a three set win over fellow Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbet on Saturday.
Mahut was part of Wimbledon's infamous 11-hour game against John Isner in 2010, the longest match in tennis history, which Mahut lost 70-68 in the final set.
Will it be a showdown between the Williams sisters in the women's singles final next Saturday?
Serena needed just 51 minutes to clinch the 300th Grand Slam win of her career on Sunday as the defending champion made the Wimbledon last 16.
Both will be in action on Monday, with Venus facing number twelve seed Carla Suarez Navarro on Court Two and Serena returning to Centre Court to face Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova.
"I wouldn't bet against it," former French Open doubles finalist Jeff Tarango told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Venus has had two days off and she is going to feel like a whole new woman next week."
Serena and Venus last met at Wimbledon in 2015, with Serena claiming a fourth round victory on her way to her sixth Wimbledon title.
Last year's semi-finalist Richard Gasquet returns to the action on Court One against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, giving the 31-year-old Frenchman just 24 hours to recover from an epic four-hour battle that saw him win 19-17 in the fifth set against Isner.
Dominika Cibulkova, who knocked out Eugenie Bouchard on Saturday, plays 2012 finalist Agnieszka Radwanska, while 10th-seed Tomas Berdych faces fellow Czech Jiri Vesely on Court Three.
The first game on Court One is Simona Halep against Madison Keys, who beat Barbora Strycova to win the Aegon Classic in Birmingham last month.

Ben Stokes, who helped England seal the one-day international series against South Africa on Saturday, was rested for Monday's game with an injury.
All-rounder Stokes, 25, has returned from his £1.7m stint at Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL.
"Injuries are part and parcel of the life generally," said Strauss.
Stokes has had two sets of scans on his knee over the past week before the Champions Trophy, which starts on Thursday.
England seamer Chris Woakes, who has also returned from playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, sat out two of the three ODIs against South Africa because of tightness in a thigh muscle.
"That is the slight risk you take when you make people available for a chunk of cricket that is outside the international schedule," added Strauss.
"On one hand you weigh up the potential risk and on the other you ask what they can potentially gain from that experience."

Olympian Chris Boardman of British Cycling tells Tom Edwards it is a "massive opportunity".
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, Liz Green, leader of Kingston Council and Jules Pipe, chairman of London Councils also appear in this report.
McGregor, 20, who is on loan with Airdrieonians, and Gogic, 22, have agreed deals until May next year.
Gogic joined Accies in February after being released by Swansea City.
He made his debut as a substitute in this month's 4-0 defeat by Hearts and started in the following game, also a 4-0 defeat, this time by Rangers.
Gogic began his youth career with Greek champions Olympiacos, where his father, Sinisa, a former Cyprus striker, was youth coach, before joining Swansea in 2013.
He did not make a first-team appearance for the Premier League club.
McGregor joined Accies from Hibernian last summer and made three League Cup appearances for the Scottish Premiership side but did not feature at all in their league campaign.
He joined Airdrieonians in January and has played seven times for the League One outfit.
Manxman Cavendish, who has now won 20 stages of the race in his career, crossed the line first after a frenetic sprint finish on the Champs-Elysees.
"I've been trying to get the green jersey for the last few years, it is a special day," said the 26-year-old.
Cadel Evans took the yellow jersey to become Australia's first Tour winner.
The polka-dot jersey for the Tour's best climber went to Spain's Samuel Sanchez, while Frenchman Pierre Rolland was confirmed as the best young rider with the white jersey.
Welshman Geraint Thomas, who spent the first six days in white, finished 31st overall ensured him the honour of the top British rider in the general classification in his third Tour de France.
Cavendish had amassed 15 stage wins over his previous three Tours, but his failure to take green before this year had been been one factor in the organisers' decision to increase the rewards on offer at the end of each stages.
The Isle of Man cyclist finished with 334 points, while Spaniard Jose Joaquin Rojas was second with 272 and Belgian Philippe Gilbert had 236.
However, despite the relatively comfortable final margin of victory Cavendish was not assured of securing the green jersey until he won the final sprint.
If Rojas had won the stage then Cavendish would have needed to finish second or third to claim the jersey he so highly coveted.
"I've been incredibly lucky to have a group of team-mates who have been committed to me winning races and it has paid off," said the HTC Highroad cyclist.
"I can't stress how lucky I am, I couldn't do it alone. I'm super emotional, super happy."
Evans had assumed the lead in the overall standings from Leopard-Trek's Andy Schleck in Saturday's time trial and a flat 95km stage into Paris did not offer any opportunities to attack his advantage of one minute 34 seconds.
Cavendish had a less comfortable cushion in the green-jersey standings with 15 points separating him from Rojas at the start of the final day.
Any hopes Rojas harboured of making early inroads on his rival were ruined however, as Slovenian Kristjan Koren led an unexpected six-man breakaway through the intermediate sprint to earn 20 points.
Cavendish was the first of the peloton over the line while team-mate Matt Goss held off Rojas to extend the Manxman's lead to 17 points.
With Team Sky's British rider Ben Swift playing a full role, the escapees pushed their lead up towards 45 seconds.
But the leading group disintegrated as Lars Bak, an HTC team-mate of Cavendish, pushed the pace, having previously been content to trail along on the back of the group.
Twenty Tour de France stage wins, five this year, three in a row in Paris and now, finally, one box-fresh green jersey: it's official, Mark Cavendish is the fastest sprinter on two wheels. He is also a massive star. In France. True fame has yet to come in the UK (with the honorable exception of his birthplace, the Isle of Man), but if he keeps pulling stunts like this one it will come eventually. With 30km to go on the Champs- Elysees, Cav was by the side of the road, changing his bike. As cool as a cucumber. Half an hour later, he was rolling through the line, arms outstretched, grinning from ear to ear. British rider David Millar has just told me Cavendish is Britain's greatest current sportsman. Hard to disagree on a day like this
The peloton mopped up the breakaway with two kilometres to go, just as the HTC Highroad team fell into formation behind.
A well-drilled procession followed with Cavendish breaking off the wheel of Australian lead-out Mark Renshaw with 170m to the finish.
Team Sky's Edvald Boasson Hagen came closest to overhauling Cavendish, but could not close to within less than a bike length.
Andre Griepel, Tyler Farrar and Fabian Cancellara completed the top five, with Rojas a distant 21st.
Cavendish's stage win followed successes on the Champs-Elysees in 2009 and 2010, making him first man to have won three final stages in succession since the legendary Belgian Eddy Merckx in 1972.
Evans, 34, finished 56th, well within the 150-strong group who clocked the same time behind Cavendish, to confirm himself as the oldest overall winner since the Second World War.
He is the first winner to wear the yellow jersey for only the last stage of the race since Greg LeMond's success in 1990.

Aid has bought HMV's six shops in Hong Kong, two shops in Singapore and branding rights in China, Macau and Taiwan, the administrators said.
No details have been given of how much Aid has paid for the business, which generates annual sales of more than 300m Hong Kong dollars ($39m; £25m).
Aid Partners is a Hong Kong-based firm that specialises in investing in China.
"We are delighted to have completed the sale of HMV's Asian business and wish Aid Partners and the HMV Asia team every success for the future in developing this iconic brand further," said joint administrator Rob Harding.
HMV went into administration on 15 January.
It has so far announced the closure of 103 of its 219 shops in the UK.
The administrators say they are hoping to keep a smaller, restructured group operating as a going concern.
The Indian state of West Bengal has been identified in the National Health Survey as one of the pockets with the highest use in India. Although there are treatment centres dotted around the country, there is a gap between the number of centres and the prevalence of drug abuse. Many who seek treatment end up lapsing back into addiction.
Photographer Ronny Sen documents the struggles of some recovering addicts in the city of Kolkata (Calcutta) in West Bengal.
All images and stories have been used with the permission of the subjects.
"You've got to get up in the morning and be ready to go," his dad, Samuel, would say.
But when Samuel reached his 80s and was recovering from a quintuple bypass, Joe urged him to rest.
His father had other ideas - deciding his next project would be to try to rejuvenate their home city of Trenton, New Jersey by, of all things, buying a baseball team.
Fearing the project would damage his dad's health, Joe tried to put him off.
But Samuel persevered, persuading the city to build a $16m (£9.5m) stadium and then calling baseball team owners across the US until he found a team and persuaded his son to help him buy it.
Joe is now a co-owner of the Trenton Thunder team, and the stadium's presence has attracted further development including restaurants and offices, delivering his dad's dream.
"My father believed anything was possible so I believe anything is possible," he says.
Joe's career, he is currently vice chairman of global payments firm First Data, has been driven by this philosophy. The former chief executive and chairman of global insurance broker Willis, he successfully returned it from private to public ownership and led its $2.1bn purchase of Hilb Rogal & Hobbs - one of the largest insurance brokerage deals of the last decade.
And he is not alone in business in taking on board the pearls of parental wisdom. Chief executives of some of the world's biggest firms credit their success to their upbringing.
Sir Martin Sorrell is the founder and chief executive of the world's largest advertising firm WPP. He says his father had to leave school at 13 and was particularly ambitious for his son after his other son - born a year before Sir Martin - died at birth.
And it was his dad's advice that persuaded Sir Martin to choose one firm as the path to growth, buying a stake in the British firm that initially made wire shopping baskets, and, via acquisitions, building it into a company now worth an estimated £16.4bn.
"He always said, 'Build a reputation in an industry that you enjoy. Then if you want to get involved in running a company that's already established, make it your life's work. Don't flit from opportunity to opportunity.'"
Sir Martin, now in his late 60s, says the hands on approach he takes to running the firm, for example signing off on all senior employees who are hired, stems from his father's advice.
He warned him: "If you... withdraw yourself from the detail, you lose touch."
Leadership expert Steve Tappin says chief executives' success is often down to their parents' influence.
"The drive and values that came from their upbringing and their parents is what sets many chief executives apart," he says.
Walter Robb, co-chief executive of natural foods supermarket chain Whole Foods, says he still calls his dad to ask for his advice about work issues, and says his father has had an "incredible influence" on him, particularly on how he treats his staff.
"He just continues to be a real mentor to me in terms of thinking about how I show up and how I speak and I think probably ultimately ethics and integrity, like do the right thing by people and that sort of basic value system."
Similarly, Guo Guangchang, the founder and chairman of one of China's most powerful companies Fosun, believes his business would not exist at all if it were not for his parents.
When he decided to set up the Hong Kong-listed conglomerate after graduating from university, his sole motivation was to earn money so he could provide a better standard of living for his parents.
"The priority was to have the money to support my parents, so that they could have a better life," he says.
Despite his success, his parents urged him to use his wealth to contribute to society rather than their comfort. Thanks to them, he says he has learnt to focus not just on the financial side of growing his firm, but also on its philosophy and long-term culture.
His parents' main concern, he says, would be that he treats his staff well.
And John Donahoe, chief executive of online auction site eBay, says that after each quarterly results, whether good or bad, his dad sends him an email telling him he's done a good job and that he's proud of him.
Mr Donahoe says he currently depends most on the advice his father gave him growing up.
"'Ask questions, probe, listen, learn.' I got that advice from my father 50 years ago when I was growing up," he says, "and that's still probably the advice I apply the most each and every day."
This feature is based on interviews by leadership expert Steve Tappin for the BBC's CEO Guru series, produced by Neil Koenig and Evy Barry.
Construction at Monks Cross was due to start this month, but developers Oakgate said the wet summer had meant a huge rise in newt numbers.
The great crested newt population had grown from nine to 300, said Oakgate.
All the newts would have to be rehomed before building work could start at the site, said the developers.
A John Lewis store, which was due to open at Monks Cross at Christmas 2013, will now open at Easter 2014 at the same time as a Marks and Spencer and a Next store, Oakgate said.

How warm water gets newts in mating mood
Under rules laid out by Natural England - the authority which issues "newt licences" and enforces the species' protected status - all the great crested newts on the site will have to be individually caught and rehomed to a nearby specially created £300,000 wetland habitat.
Dr Mark Hampton, whose job it is to safeguard the newts during their relocation, said the newts' breeding prowess was down to one of the wettest summers on record.
"The two males and seven females, which have been found both this year and in previous surveys of newts at the Monks Cross site, have been using trenches dug as part of an archaeological dig in 2005 for breeding.
"These trenches usually dry up in May and, because newt larvae need wet conditions to survive, this small newt population hasn't successfully bred before.
"However, because 2012 was the wettest summer in 100 years, the trenches have remained wet and the newts have had an exceptionally successful breeding season."
Richard France, director of Monks Cross (Oakgate) Ltd, said while he was disappointed that work could not begin at the site, the firm took its responsibility to the environment seriously.
The hosts led when Godden fired in from Steve Schumacher's cross and he scored a second just before half-time with a close-range finish.
After the break, Ben Kennedy fouled Sid Nelson and Godden fired from the spot.
Dan Butler scored a consolation for the Exiles late on but it was too late to overturn Stevenage's lead.
The result means Newport County remain bottom of the League Two table and five points from safety, while Stevenage move up two places to 13th.
Newport manager Graham Westley told BBC Radio Wales: "I thought it was a very positive afternoon.
"It was always going to be difficult to start the game, as in five new lads in the side, 2-0 with the error and 3-0 with the soft penalty.
"The boys could have been forgiven, but sides would have dropped their heads and would have gone under.
"But we didn't. We showed a character. We showed a strength. We showed resilience.
"We showed a willingness to go and get something out of the half and we did. We fought back."

The joint-venture company they own, Samarco, does not have enough resources to cover the potential damages, estimated at 20.2bn reais ($5.2bn; £3.4bn), the judge ruled.
Samarco owned the dam, which held back waste water from iron ore mining.
It burst last month, flooding a vast area and killing at least 13 people.
Anglo-Australian company BHP Billiton and Vale, from Brazil, said they had not been officially notified.
Judge Marcelo Aguiar Machado's ruling was published on Friday.
The two companies will also have to implement "immediate damage-mitigating environmental measures" or they will be liable to a daily fine of 150m reais ($38m; £25m), ruled Judge Machado.
On 28 November the Brazilian government filed a lawsuit against Samarco for the environmental damage caused by the accident.
Environment Minister Izabella Teixeira said the accident in the south-eastern state of Minas Gerais had "a huge impact from an environmental point of view".
The village of Bento Rodrigues was totally destroyed and the toxic mud generated by the 5 November dam collapse polluted drinking water over a vast area.
The money will be used to compensate the victims and help repair the environment.
"It is not a natural disaster, it is a disaster prompted by economic activity, but of a magnitude equivalent to those disasters created by forces of nature," said Ms Teixeira when the lawsuit was filed.
About 500km (310 miles) of the Rio Doce - one of Brazil's most important rivers - will have to be dredged in parts, vegetation replanted and fresh-water springs cleared, she said.
Less than a week after the accident, Samarco had its mining licence suspended.
It also agreed to pay 1bn reais (£170m; $260m) temporary compensation to the victims.
The ARU is reducing the size of the competition from 18 teams to 15 because of falling revenues and fan interest.
South Africa are to lose two sides in 2018 with Australia losing one.
The decision to drop Western Force has been "guided primarily by financial outcomes", the ARU said.
"This is a sad day for rugby, especially for Western Force fans," ARU chairman Cameron Clyne said.
"We accept that there will be anger and resentment over this decision and we sympathise with those fans. We sincerely hope that they are not lost to the game forever."
Rugby Western Australia plans to pursue "every possible means" to ensure the Force stay in the competition.
The organisation said in a statement: "RugbyWA is considering all options including bringing urgent proceedings in the Supreme Court and legal action relating to the circumstances which led it to enter into the alliance agreement with the ARU."
The Super Rugby competition, which features sides from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Japan, initially expanded to 15 teams from 2011 before adding three further sides in 2016.
South African sides Cheetahs and Kings will now play in the Pro14.
Zach Kibirige, 21, of Premiership team Newcastle Falcons, had denied seven sex offences against the woman he met on dating app Tinder in November.
The woman had told Newcastle Crown Court the England Under-20s international gripped her throat before raping her in her bedroom.
But the player claimed nothing had happened "against the woman's will".
A jury unanimously found Mr Kibirige, from Middlesbrough, not guilty of four counts of rape, attempted rape, sexual assault and another serious sexual assault.
Earlier the court heard the pair had exchanged almost 1,000 WhatsApp messages over a fortnight before Mr Kibirige went round for "cuddles" and to watch a film.
He told the court they began kissing passionately on her bed and he claimed she said at one point: "You are going to have to try harder than that."
The complainant, who cannot be identified, claimed the player put his hands round her neck and she was too scared to shout for help. Mr Kibirige denied the accusation.
Mr Kibirige said that after they had sex he left because he had training the next morning.
"I don't think she was best pleased," he told the jury.
Driving home, he received messages from the complainant saying what had happened was "not OK".
Nicholas Lumley QC, defending, asked Mr Kibirige: "Did you think for one moment you had done anything wrong?"
He replied: "Absolutely not."
Later, he received a message from one of the woman's friends accusing him of rape.
He said he did not reply, explaining: "I couldn't see any good coming out of it."
Mr Kibirige's girlfriend, Samantha Whatmore, whom he started dating after the rape allegation was made, gave evidence to say he was not aggressive and had never made her do anything she did not want to do.
Members of Mr Kibirige's family wept in the public gallery after the verdict was read out.
Judge Penny Moreland made no comment to Mr Kibirige except to say he could leave the dock.
Following the verdict, Newcastle Falcons said in a statement: "This has been an extremely stressful time for Zach, and his hugely promising rugby career has effectively been put on hold during this very difficult period.
"The club are satisfied that their faith in Zach has been borne out by the verdict in his trial.
"Zach remains an important member of the club's playing staff and is available for all rugby and non-rugby-related duties."
Warnock left on 18 May after securing Rotherham's Championship status during his three months in charge.
Ex-Blackburn manager Gary Bowyer and former England boss Steve McClaren have been linked to the vacant position.
"My view and the board's view is that we're going to take our time," Stewart told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"That is the calibre that you've mentioned of managers that have been putting their hat in the ring.
"It would be wrong for me to start naming certain candidates because most of them are in jobs already, but it's quite complimentary that we have managers wanting to come along and be part of the team."
Steve Evans left Rotherham in September 2015 and was replaced by Neil Redfearn, who became the shortest-serving boss in Rotherham's history when he was sacked after four months.
Warnock led the Millers to Championship safety as they finished 21st in the table, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
"We'll make sure we get someone who has the knowledge, bite and enthusiasm we have seen lately with Steve Evans and Neil Warnock," Stewart added.
"The drive, push and passion is what Rotherham is about. It's in the DNA and we want to go forward with that in mind."

Caroline Jones, 47, from Harpenden in Hertfordshire, began Knickers Model's Own to raise money for Cancer Research UK in memory of her mother Mary Benson, who died of breast cancer last October.
About 1,000 items of clothing and accessories went on sale at Harpenden Public Halls on Wednesday.
The sale raised just over £2,600 to add to more than £26,000 raised to date.
Updates on this story and more from Beds, Herts and Bucks
Mrs Benson had been a volunteer at the charity's Harpenden shop for 13 years.
Mother-of-three Ms Jones started volunteering as a window dresser soon after her mother died and on New Year's Eve last year decided she would post a photograph every day on social media of her wearing a different outfit.
She hoped to raise £1,000 in a year, but her daily posts became so popular she increased her fundraising target to £36,500 - or £100 a day.
She recently won a prize for the most creative fundraiser of the year.
At the one-off event on day 308 of her campaign, she modelled some of her outfits on the catwalk before the audience was invited to buy their favourite pieces - which raised a total of £2,693.25.
The few unsold items - which amount to about two clothes rails - will be sold through the CRUK Harpenden shop.
"I have mixed feelings about the sale," she said.
"Obviously I am very attached to some pieces as they all hold memories for me. Seeing other people touch them is strange.
"But my intention was always to sell the collection on, with the funds going to my campaign."
She felt her initial £1,000 target was "ambitious" and described the response as "incredible".
"The money raised [so far] will pay for a year's bursary for a researcher," she said.
Fallout 4, the first addition to the series since 2010, will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
The hugely anticipated title has not yet been given a release date, but developer Bethesda said more details would be shared later this month.
Drug references in a previous version of the game led to it being temporarily banned in Australia.
Content in Fallout 3 had to be amended to appease regulators, and the game was given a 15+ age rating. Fallout 4 has a provisional 18+ rating.
Fallout 3 was the first in the series to be in a 3D "open world" - meaning the player was free to roam the game's environment of a devastated Washington DC.
As was widely rumoured, Fallout 4's open world will be set in Boston.
A trailer broadcast on Wednesday set up the game's storyline - one in which a nuclear war has destroyed civilisation.
A dog features heavily in the trailer, suggesting the animal may be a controllable character.
"We know what this game means to everyone," said game director Todd Howard.
"The time and technology have allowed us to be more ambitious than ever. We've never been more excited about a game, and we can't wait to share it."
Rob Crossley, UK editor of Gamespot, said he did not expect Bethesda to drift too far from the winning formula of Fallout 3.
"I wouldn't be shocked if the Fallout 3 formula with a new lick of paint would satisfy everyone.
"Fallout 3 wasn't the most handsome game in the world, it was a bit rough round the edges, and so a version with modern visuals could be enough.
"But there needs to be a level of innovation. I'd expect some new elements, but it won't steer too far from the template.
"They're not going to reinvent the wheel."
More details about the game will be announced ahead of video games conference E3, which takes places in Los Angeles later this month.

Full coverage of E3 will be available across the BBC from Sunday 14 June. You'll be able to follow the team's reporting on Twitter via #e3BBC.
Swissport said the jobs will include positions in passenger check-in as well as baggage and freight handling.
The salaries of the new posts average out at £16,000.
The expansion will bring its workforce at Belfast International to about 350, making it the biggest employer at the airport.
Swissport said its expansion was based on planned airline growth, with Ryanair due to begin operating a new hub at Aldergrove later this year.
"These jobs are demand driven," said the airport's operations director Alan Whiteside.
"The fact they do not depend on a single penny of support from the government means we are seeing a win-win for the wider economy and the taxpayer," he added.
Earlier this month, security company ICTS announced it was taking on 40 extra staff at the International, partly because of Ryanair's arrival.

With Wanderers already three goals ahead at half-time after efforts from Sam Wood, Paris Cowan-Hall and Dominic Gape, Kashket entered the action on 62 minutes before scoring twice in the next seven minutes.
George Cooper netted a consolation but the night belonged to Wycombe, who scored five for the first time under manager Gareth Ainsworth.
Wood broke the deadlock with an easy finish from Paul Hayes' cut back.
The goal looked to have galvanised Crewe but the Chairboys struck again with a looping header by Cowan-Hall from Michael Harriman's cross in the before Gape's curled finish made it 3-0 before half-time.
Crewe looked to fight back in the second half, with a spell of possession, but conceded again when Kashket beat keeper Ben Garratt to the ball and finished into an open goal.
The Wycombe man then added another on 69 minutes from close range while Cooper pulled one back two minutes later following a corner.

Dennis, 69, quit after being told by fellow shareholders on Tuesday that he must give up his position as chairman and chief executive of McLaren Group.
He did not want to step down and failed in a High Court bid last week to prevent McLaren putting him on 'gardening leave'.
In a statement, Dennis said he was "disappointed" and called the grounds for his removal "entirely spurious".
He remains on the boards of McLaren Technology Group and McLaren Automotive and retains significant shareholdings in both.
Dennis owns 25% of McLaren Group, Bahrain's Mumtalakat investment fund owns 50% and the remaining 25% is held by Dennis' long-time business partner Mansour Ojjeh, a Saudi-born Frenchman.
Dennis and Ojjeh, the chief executive of the TAG Group, fell out some years ago and the 64-year-old Ojjeh has sided with the Bahrainis in trying to remove his former friend.
It was felt Dennis' autocratic style was ill-fitted to growing McLaren in the future.
Dennis said the other main shareholders "forced through" the decision "despite the strong warnings from the rest of the management team about the potential consequences of their actions on the business".
He added: "My management style is the same as it has always been and is one that has enabled McLaren to become an automotive and technology group that has won 20 Formula 1 World Championships and grown into an £850m-a-year business.
"Ultimately it has become clear to me through this process that neither TAG nor Mumtalakat share my vision for McLaren and its true growth potential.
"My first concern is to the business I have built and to its 3,500 employees. I will continue to use my significant shareholding in both companies and my seats on both boards to protect the interests and value of McLaren and help shape its future.
"I intend to launch a new technology investment fund once my contractual commitments with McLaren expire."
Dennis' departure is seismic move in the context of modern F1, in which he has been a central figure since 1981.
Dennis joined McLaren in 1980 and took full control in 1981, after which he led the team to several periods of domination and turned it into the most successful outfit in history after Ferrari.
Under Dennis' leadership, McLaren won 10 drivers' titles with Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen and Lewis Hamilton, and seven constructors' championships.
However, the team has slipped from the front in recent years and the decision to join forces with engine partner Honda led in 2015 to the worst season in their history.
Honda entered F1 when it was not ready, a decision at least partly down to McLaren, whose engine partnership with Mercedes was ending in 2014 and who pushed for the Honda deal to start as soon as possible.
Dennis has also failed to secure a new title sponsor to replace mobile phone giant Vodafone, which left at the end of 2013.
Other lost sponsors have been replaced by similar deals but, notwithstanding Honda's significant financial contribution over and above the provision of free power units, the absence of a title sponsor for the past three years has cast doubt in Dennis's fellow shareholders' minds on his ability to procure major sponsorship contracts in the digital age.
American Zak Brown, a leading commercial figure in F1, remains the most likely candidate to replace him.
The 44-year-old's links with McLaren were revealed by BBC Sport last month and he has moved closer to accepting a leadership position at McLaren since then.
However, Brown has also been linked with a role with new F1 owners Liberty Media, heading up their commercial operation once they complete their takeover of the F1 Group next year.
Sources close to Brown say he is more likely at this stage to accept the McLaren offer but has not made a final decision.
Dennis' departure also raises questions about the future of McLaren Racing chief executive officer Jost Capito.
The German, the former boss of Volkswagen Motorsport, was appointed in January but only started work in September. He is strongly linked to Dennis, raising questions about his position once Dennis leaves the company.
Dennis' involvement in Formula 1 began as an 18-year-old mechanic for the Cooper Formula 1 team, before moving to Brabham two years later in 1968.
After a spell working in Formula 2 and 3, where he formed company Project Four, Dennis returned to Formula 1 and began his involvement with McLaren in September 1980.
In 1981 McLaren became McLaren International in what Dennis called "a reverse takeover" and 18 months later the then 32-year-old gained a controlling interest in the company.
Ojjeh joined Dennis as a McLaren shareholder in 1984 and has been his business partner ever since.
Of McLaren's 20 titles, 17 came during Dennis' time, along with 158 of the team's 182 grand prix wins.
McLaren had not won a grand prix since James Hunt in 1977 and a constructors' championship since 1974 before Dennis' arrival - but in 1982 and 1983 drivers Lauda and John Watson scored victories.
In 1984, they took both the drivers' and constructors' titles - winning 12 of the season's 16 races as Lauda edged team-mate Prost to the individual title.
Dennis oversaw the team's successful defence of both titles the following year.
McLaren's dominance resumed in 1988 when they claimed both titles as Prost and Senna won 15 of 16 races between them, despite a public feud between the pair.
That was the first of four successive years winning both championships, though McLaren would have to wait another seven years to follow that success when they took both the drivers' and the constructors' titles with Hakkinen the main driver in 1998.
Hakkinen would retain his title in 1999, but Ferrari had emerged as the sport's most dominant team.
McLaren would not celebrate another world championship until 2008, a season after they were stripped of their constructors' points and fined £49.2m for using information leaked from title rivals Ferrari.
Briton Hamilton was the man to provide McLaren with that last title eight years ago, having signed for the team's Young Driver Support Programme as a teenager.
Hamilton would remain at McLaren until 2012, racing alongside compatriot Jenson Button, but despite a handful of victories Dennis and the team have been unable to add to their world championships.
In the years following Hamilton's departure, Dennis also saw top designer Paddy Lowe and engine supplier Mercedes leave the team.
Legislation to create the new authority is currently being fast-tracked through the Northern Ireland Assembly.
MLAs who wanted representation for four school sectors previously not included on the new body have won a compromise.
The community seats will instead go to the Irish medium, integrated, voluntary grammar and controlled grammar sectors.
An extra post has been created for the Catholic maintained sector, to redress a possible religious imbalance on the new education authority.
However, job adverts had already been placed for a chairperson and four community members to join the new authority.
The community members would have been paid a salary of ??8,000, for up to five days work a month.
The education authority is being created to replace Northern Ireland's five existing education and library boards with one, single body.
The aim is to save money by reducing bureaucracy in the education system, and to accommodate planned changes in local government, when Northern Ireland's new super councils begin work next spring.
The new education authority is set to come into being in April 2015.
It will now have 21 members, including eight political representatives.
British Transport Police officers attended Port Talbot railway station at about 19:20 BST on Sunday following an altercation on the 15:37 Paddington to Swansea service.
A 65-year-old man from Neath and a 44-year-old man from Swansea have been arrested on suspicion of affray.
A number of passengers were also asked to leave the train.
Both houses of Congress had voted on Thursday to begin impeachment proceedings over his handling of clashes between farmers and police last week in which at least 17 people died.
Mr Lugo likened the move to a coup by the right wing-controlled parliament, but said he would accept the decision.
Vice-President Federico Franco has already been sworn in as president.
He will serve the remainder of Mr Lugo's five-year term, which ends in August 2013.
After previously trying to get the Supreme Court to stop the impeachment vote, the fallen president said he accepted "what the law has stated, even though the law was twisted".
Calling on his supporters to remain calm, he added that "the history of Paraguay and its democracy have been deeply wounded".
Mr Lugo's 2008 election ended 61 years of rule by the right-wing Colorado party.
The two main political parties, Colorado and Liberal, had put aside their differences and voted in favour of the motion to begin the impeachment trial.
The Liberals are part of Mr Lugo's ruling coalition.
In an appeal filed with Paraguay's Supreme Court on Friday, Mr Lugo's lawyers had said the proceedings do not ensure due process and that the president should have been granted more time to prepare.
A centre-right legislator, Carlos Maria, denied allegations of unconstitutionality. "There's nothing illegal here, there's no constitutional rupture, no coup," he told AP.
The impeachment sparked clashes between police on horseback and supporters of Mr Lugo massed outside the National Congress building in the capital Asuncion.
"We do not want the return of dictatorship," one protester who had travelled to the capital from the Brazilian border told the AFP news agency.
Water cannon was used by police to drive the protesters back.
The impeachment motion accused Mr Lugo of a "poor performance" during the forced land eviction last Friday, in which seven police officers and at least nine farmers were killed.
Speaking on national television on Thursday, Mr Lugo said he would not resign, but "face the consequences" of the trial. He accused his opponents of carrying out an "express coup d'etat".
The Union of South American Nations has send an urgent mission of foreign ministers to Paraguay to "ensure the right to defend democracy".
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa warned that the regional bloc could invoke its "democracy clause" to sever ties with Paraguay and even close its borders if Mr Lugo is not tried according to "due process".
BBC regional analyst Leonardo Rocha says South American countries are worried that Mr Lugo, Paraguay's first left-wing president, is the victim of a political trial by the Colorado party and other right-wing groups.
Several South American countries, including neighbouring Argentina and Bolivia, have already said they do not recognise the new government, reports say.
During the clashes in eastern Canindeyu province that prompted the impeachment move, more than 300 police officers tried to evict 150 landless farmers from an estate owned by a wealthy businessman who is also a political opponent of Mr Lugo.
The eviction escalated into violence and the farmers opened fire on the police.
The farmers have argued the land was illegally taken during the 1954-1989 military rule of Gen Alfredo Stroessner and distributed among his allies.
Land disputes are not unusual in Paraguay, where a small fraction of the population owns about 80% of the land.
Mr Lugo - a former Catholic bishop who abandoned priesthood to enter politics - campaigned for the needs of the poor.
Before being elected in 2008, he promised land for some 87,000 landless families.
On Wednesday, in an attempt to calm tensions over the incident, Mr Lugo said he would open an investigation into what happened. | England forwards coach Steve Borthwick says it would be a "huge honour" to be involved with the British and Irish Lions next summer.

The American won the Tour de France in 2006, but was later stripped of the title after failing a dope test.
Last year, he confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs throughout his career.
Landis's former trainer, Arnie Barker, was also convicted by a Paris court and received the same suspended sentence.
Neither men were present for the trial and both are the subject of international arrest warrants.
Landis was found guilty by a French court of masterminding the hacking into the computer of the lab, south of Paris, that found abnormal levels of testosterone in his system.
Prosecutors accused the pair of using the hacked documents to prepare their failed legal challenge to the Tour de France disqualification.

But hours later, in an attempt to charge the gunman, he was shot five times.
The 30-year-old is now in hospital and could make a full recovery, according to a Facebook post by his cousin.
Shortly after shooting Mr Mintz, gunman Chris Harper Mercer was killed in a shootout with police.
The gunman entered a classroom in the rural community college's Snyder Hall, reportedly asking students if they were Christian before shooting.
The Army veteran rushed the gunman to try to stop him, his family told CBS This Morning.
Mr Mintz first blocked the door to try to prevent the gunman from getting in the classroom, and was then shot three times.
He hit the floor, told the gunman it was his son Tyrik's sixth birthday, and was shot twice more.
Surviving the attack, he spent most of Thursday in surgery at Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg, where he is stable.
"He's going to have to learn to walk again, but he walked away with his life," one family member said.
Mr Mintz's cousin Derek Bourgeois described the scene in a Facebook post, saying he "took five shots on his son's birthday."
People flooded Mr Bourgeois' Facebook post with words of support and encouragement for Mr Mintz, calling him a "hometown hero" and a "legend" and asking if they could visit him in the hospital or start funds for his medical bills.
"You saved lives Chris Mintz. You are the one who will be remembered. You are a hero in my eyes with a warrior's spirit. God bless you and your recovery," one person wrote.

Kent County Council's study of NHS figures said 4,509 days were lost in December to patients who were medically fit but whose transfer was delayed.
In the same month for the previous year, 2,331 days were lost, the figures showed.
One factor was a rise in fragile and elderly patients in A&E, said Kent county councillor Graham Gibbens.
The Kings Fund health charity pointed to cuts in social services and "process issues in NHS hospitals".
The charity's analyst James Thompson said: "It is not good for (patients) to be lying on a bed not using their muscles, in a setting very different from their homes."
Roger Goldfinch said his late wife Margarita "was fit to come out of hospital before Christmas" but was not discharged "until February".
"There was an argument about who would fund her care when she came home and who would organise it," he said.
Mr Gibbens said: "Sometimes one carer is not sufficient. We have to work with GPs and providers to make sure the right provision is there."
Figures issued on Thursday indicated delays in Kent rose further in February, to 4,929 days lost.
Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust said there were a "variety of reasons" which "involve the whole Kent care system - not just our Trust" and it was working with partners "to achieve a system-wide improvement".
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust said some patients were "waiting for nursing home placement and continuing healthcare in the community" and it was "a challenge for the whole health economy".
The collapse of Iraq's armed forces in the face of the IS advance led to these militia playing a pivotal role in government security operations over the past year, most notably in Tikrit.
However, they have also come under criticism for alleged human rights abuses, a charge their commanders deny.
Iraq's Shia militia are part of a broader mobilisation of the majority Shia community, which has traditionally aimed to contest power in the country and, prior to 2003, remedy the Shia's history of oppression at the hands of the Iraqi state.
Shia mobilisation and activism in Iraq intensified with the Baathist coup in 1968 and the regime's collective suppression of the community, although some Shia were co-opted.
After the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, Shia actors, like the Islamic Dawa Party (of Iraq's current prime minister), mobilised the Shia community to try to overthrow the Baath regime but the attempt failed.
The 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war then saw various Shia groups take up arms against Saddam Hussein, with patronage from Iran, but this was to no avail as neither side was able to defeat the other during the costly war of attrition.
Another rebellion was launched in 1991, following the first Gulf War. Looking to capitalise on a weakened Iraqi army, as well as an apparent endorsement from then US President George HW Bush, Iraqi Shia launched an uprising in mainly Shia provinces of the south.
But no US support materialised and the regime's indiscriminate crackdown on the population saw tens of thousands killed. Shia shrines, centres of learning and communities were also destroyed.
Following the fall of Saddam Hussein, Shia fighters that had previously fought the Baath regime were integrated into the reconstituted Iraqi army and the country's police force.
However, some also remained militia members and fought a sectarian war with Sunni militants, which reached its apex in 2006.
As a result of sectarian warfare and disastrous post-conflict reconstruction, Shia militia that functioned independently of the state became increasingly widespread and powerful.
They were responsible for much of the lawlessness and crime in the country, including attacks on US and British occupation forces, as well as Western civilians working in Iraq.
Shia militia have their own differences and fought one another over the past decade. However, when IS seized control of much of northern and western Iraq they unified as part of a concerted effort to defend their country and places of worship.
This is not to say that intra-Shia clashes will not take place again in the future.
To swell the ranks of the anti-IS forces, in the absence of a functioning Iraqi army, Iraq's Grand Ayatollah Sistani, the leading cleric in the Shia world, issued a religious edict calling on Iraqis to take up arms.
Tens of thousands of Shia volunteers, as well as many Sunni tribal fighters, were immediately mobilised as a result to form what is known as the Popular Mobilisation. The Washington Post reports that Shia militia comprise up to 120,000 fighters.
The proliferation of Shia militia in Iraq after 2003 was also fuelled by the support Iran gave Shia bodies willing to act as its proxies.
Iran has actively supported Iraq's Shia groups since 1979. The most powerful militia group in Iraq today is the Badr Brigade, which was formed in and by Iran in the early 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq war.
Iran has considerable influence over Iraq's Shia militia because of its heavy on-the-ground presence.
Iran was the only outside power that deployed advisers and special forces in the country when IS took control of Mosul and directly organised the anti-IS offensive.
However, it does not have the same level of influence over all militia.
The Badr Brigade, whilst considerably close to Iran, could still function without Iranian support and has done so before, given its entrenchment in the Iraqi state (its head, Hadi al-Ameri, is a former Transport Minister).
A large number of the militia in the Popular Mobilisation also report to local Iraqi figures, as opposed to Iran.
On the other hand, weaker splinter groups which emerged after 2003 are more dependent on Iranian support and some are widely reported to be receiving orders directly from Iran.
In the near future, Iraq is likely to continue to depend on the militias to contain IS and maintain security in the country.
While Iraq's Shia militia cannot be eliminated, given their entrenchment within the Shia community and the Iraqi state, they can be regulated but that is only likely to happen once the threat from IS has abated and the country has a fully functioning army.

Just as predictable as the changing seasons is Pyongyang's reaction to the annual military exercise between South Korea and the US, known as Foal Eagle.
The US says it has detected no signs that North Korea is actively preparing to go on the offensive - there has been no large-scale mobilisation of forces, for example.
Pyongyang's threats are usually conditional - if there is a real danger of a US attack, there will be a response, or a pre-emptive strike.
The tension usually goes down when the exercises end - until the next round of theatre and threats. But the possibility of an accident provoking a military confrontation is always real.
North Korea has been a vexing problem for Washington for years, and so far the Obama administration has also failed to successfully engage Pyongyang and break this cycle - or curb its nuclear programme.
This year, the threats emanating form North Korea have sounded even more bombastic for several reasons.
There's a new young leader sitting in Pyongyang who's still asserting himself domestically and consolidating his power.
And South Korea has just elected its new president, Park Geun-hye - the country's first female leader. So, Kim Jong-un is - no doubt - testing her too.
The US reaction has remained mostly the same - with a few variations, officials in Washington repeat the line that North Korea's actions are not helpful and only further isolate the reclusive nation. There seem to be no creative ideas on the horizon.
During the Clinton administration, the US repeatedly cancelled military exercises to assuage Pyongyang's fears and defuse tension.
But more recently, Washington has matched the intensity of Pyongyang's rhetoric with a display of hardware.
After a deluge of 20 threats in a just a few weeks, the Obama administration also dispatched B-2 stealth bombers over the Korean peninsula.
The move was also meant to decrease pressure on South Korea to take unilateral action to sound tough in the face of its northern brethren.
But every attempt by the US and the international community to hold Pyongyang accountable, with sanctions for example, leads to even more erratic behaviour by the North Koreans.
And every time the US ignores Pyongyang's pleas for attention, responding with a resolve to continue military exercises, the North Koreans are further infuriated - partly because their thinking is driven by a different rationale.
They perceive US-South Korean defensive military exercises as potentially offensive, and analysts say the North Koreans believe their nuclear weapons are the only thing keeping them safe from a US attack.
President Obama spoke at the start of his first term about his willingness to extend a hand if America's foes were willing to unclench their fist.
Efforts to restart the six-party talks, which stalled in 2009, have failed.
And Pyongyang's behaviour makes it difficult for Mr Obama to be bold and engage in open, direct talks with the North Koreans without risking being lambasted by critics for caving in to threats and legitimizing Kim Jung-un.
Administration officials did travel to North Korea on secret missions last year in an effort to persuade the newly-anointed leader to moderate his foreign policy.
One of the trips took place in April 2012 and was led by Joseph DeTrani - a North Korea expert who then headed America's National Counter-Proliferation Center.
Mr DeTrani, who is now president of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, an industry group, would not openly confirm to the BBC that he had been on a mission to Pyongyang.
But he spoke about the need for diplomacy while indicating that the American approach had been rebuffed.
"The North Koreans know the US and China are available in the six-party talks. Their rhetoric is over the top and puts them in a difficult position."
Mr DeTrani added that the US was handling the situation well and that it was up to North Korea to break the cycle.
US policy towards North Korea is partly driven by Washington's support for Japan and South Korea and efforts to show that the US remains in lock-step with allies in the face of North Korea.
Diplomacy with North Korea takes place mostly through the six-party talks, which also involve Japan, China, South Korea and Russia.
Denuclearisation is always the stated end goal of every discussion. Because of North Korea's fears, justified or not, this often undermines the basis of the talks.
Over the past four years, the Obama administration's posture on North Korea was also dictated by former South Korean president Lee Myung-bak's hardline stance towards the North.
But Christopher Nelson, an Asia expert and vice-president of Samuels International Associates, points out that while the new South Korean leader has responded with tough words to Pyongyang's rhetoric, she has also indicated that if the North Koreans are willing to resume North-South talks, denuclearisation would not have to be the state end goal.
Mr Nelson said there are indications from the North Korean team at the UN that Pyongyang is now willing to engage.
While this still needs to be tested, what's unclear is whether the US is ready to go along with this approach.
In public, and for now, it's unlikely that the US will signal any easing of its policy towards North Korea.
But if Mrs Park persists with her offer, the US could say it respects its ally's choice and will support the approach.
There will be many opportunities to explore this and other diplomatic options in policy towards North Korea.
The South Korean foreign minister is in Washington this week.
The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, will be heading to Asia next week for his first trip to the region in the new job - with stops in Beijing, Tokyo and Seoul.
And President Park herself will meet President Obama in Washington in May.
The move comes after the bank failed to apply correct interest payments to some accounts for several years.
The lender told the BBC it had received a complaint about the issue in 2013 and that the error dated back to 2007.
ANZ said a system error was to blame and that it was resolving the problem and had apologised to customers.
"There was an issue where some customers were either underpaid or overpaid the correct amount of bonus interest on their progress saver account," ANZ's media spokesperson Emily Kinnear told the BBC.
But Ms Kinnear said the bank would not recoup the amounts that were overpaid.
The bank said the issue had affected 0.5% of saving accounts each month and that the majority of refunds were for amounts of A$35. About 100,000 customers were owed less than A$5.
Ms Kinnear said a thorough review had been conducted and reimbursements should be completed this week.
Australia's banking watchdog, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), said the lender had reported the matter to the regulator.
It said ANZ had taken its breach reporting obligations seriously and that the refund payment included an additional amount "to recognise the time elapsed since the initial breach".
"Breach reporting helps ASIC ensure affected consumers are returned to the position they would have held if it were not for the breach occurring at all," ASIC's deputy chairman Peter Kell said.
Earlier this year, ANZ won an appeal against a landmark court ruling that some of its fees for late payments were unfair.
One of the largest in the country, the class action suit began in 2010 and involved some 43,500 customers.
Last month, the lender posted a record annual cash profit of A$7.2bn ($5.1bn; £3.34bn). The result for the year to September marked a 1% rise on cash profits from a year earlier.

The American world number one served superbly to win a pulsating final 6-3 7-6 (7-5) after Sharapova fought back in the second set.
Williams, 33, moves past Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert with a 19th major singles title.
She has now beaten Russia's Sharapova, the world number two, 16 times in a row dating back to 2004.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I have to congratulate Maria, she played a wonderful match and she really pushed me," said Williams.
"She played so well and gave me a great final not only for the fans, but for women's tennis. I'm really honoured to play her in the final."
Despite feeling so unwell during a rain delay in the first set that she left the court to vomit, Williams hit 18 aces and 38 winners as she won in one hour and 51 minutes.
Seemingly unsure for a moment that an ace had sealed victory, she then shook hands with Sharapova and bounded over to the corner of Rod Laver Arena towards her player box.
It was a brilliant performance in a final that exceeded many expectations, bearing in mind the players' head-to-head record.
Sharapova made a nervous start, double-faulting to drop serve in game one, while Williams appeared keener than ever to shorten the points, possibly because of her ailment.
The American crushed the Russian's second serve and was not disrupted by a 12-minute rain break that led to the roof being closed.
Still feeling the effects of a heavy cold that has dogged her over the last week, Williams headed off court - in contrast to Sharapova - but the top seed returned at the potentially dangerous score of 3-2, 30-30, to calmly produce an ace and a forehand winner.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Breaks of serve were swapped before Williams took the set in 47 minutes with a backhand and a scream.
Sharapova was looking at another one-sided defeat when facing break points early in the second, but showed why she is a five-time Grand Slam champion.
She served her way out of trouble and managed to cling on in a set in which Williams hit 15 aces and won almost 90% of first-serve points.
A gripping contest developed, with Serena escaping at 3-2, 0-30 thanks to three aces and a service winner.
Another game of three aces led to the American being called for hindrance after shouting "Come on" before the point had finished, and she mockingly mouthed "calm down" to herself after another winner soon after.
Sharapova would not give in, saving a match point with a screaming forehand winner to make it 5-5, and seeing off a second in the tie-break behind a bold second serve.
Williams had a third opportunity, however, and after an apparent ace was called a let - much to her disbelief - she clinched it with another unplayable serve.
"I've not beaten her for a long time, but I love every time I play her as she is the best and you want to play against the best," said Sharapova.
"I gave it everything. I love playing in the Rod Laver Arena, I've had some of my best memories and toughest losses but that is the life of a tennis player."
The 25-year-old impressed after scoring in a friendly against St Mirren.

However, he has now moved up to the Championship with the Blue Brazil.
Meanwhile, Cowden midfielder Greig Renton has joined junior club Lochore Welfare until January on loan.

Carl Worrall, 49, of Pyle Street, Newport, Isle of Wight is accused of a public order offence.
Jack Stevens, 26, of Oxford Street, Long Eaton, was charged with criminal damage in connection with the throwing of a flare.
Nottinghamshire police commissioner Paddy Tipping said the cost of policing the march will probably reach £200,000.
About 100 EDL supporters attended, with several hundred people gathering to oppose the protest.
Mr Tipping said he will be asking the Home Office to introduce tougher laws to stop disruptive protests.
"We have to be clear that demonstrations like this are disruptive and they do cause concern in the wider community," he said.
"I am not sure we have got the balance right. People have a right to demonstrate but normal citizens have a right not to have their lives disrupted."
Police said of four other people arrested in connection with the demonstration, one was bailed and the other three released without charge.
They said they had received no reports of injury or assault during the march.
The force was supported by 21 other police forces - including specialist officers, police dogs and mounted officers.
India batted first and collapsed from 83-0 to 200 all out, with Steven Finn taking 3-36 and Ajinkya Rahane top-scoring with a patient 73.
England were in deep trouble at 66-5 but were rescued by a sixth-wicket partnership of 125 between James Taylor (82) and Jos Buttler (67).
England will play Australia in the final at the same venue on Sunday.
Eoin Morgan's side have lost both of their games against the hosts in the tournament.
The final will be England's last one-day international before the World Cup starts on 14 February, although they also have warm-ups against West Indies and Pakistan.
Reigning world champions India, who failed to register a win in the tri-series, have warm-up games against Australia and Afghanistan.
Having lost the toss at the Waca and been asked to bat, India openers Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan overcame a nervous start on an uneven pitch to put on 83 for the first wicket.
But the dismissal of Dhawan, who was caught behind by Buttler off the bowling of Chris Woakes, triggered the collapse.
Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina both perished cheaply trying to take on the off-spin of Moeen Ali.
Rahane lost another partner when Ambati Rayudu edged behind, handing Stuart Broad his first wicket of the series.
The powerplay saw India lose further ground, with only 23 runs scored for the loss of Rahane and Stuart Binny.
Finn accounted for both, dismissing Rahane caught behind and Binny courtesy of an outstanding slip catch by Ian Bell.
When captain MS Dhoni fell - undone by a ball that kept low from James Anderson, five balls after being hit on the helmet by the seamer - India looked unlikely to make it to 200.
However, some lusty hitting from Mohammed Shami saw 35 runs added for the last wicket.
Woakes eventually ended the innings with 11 balls remaining, but not before Shami had made the second-highest score by an India number 11 against England.
Finn was the pick of England's bowlers, while Anderson returned miserly figures of 1-24 from nine overs.
In reply, Bell was trapped in front by Sharma before Moeen threw his wicket away, chipping Axar Patel to Rayudu at long-off.
And when Joe Root fell for a duck in the following over, having driven a return catch to Binny, India were suddenly back in the match.
Morgan was undone as much by the unpredictability of the pitch as the medium pace of Binny, squirting a catch to mid-on.
In contrast, Ravi Bopara had no such excuses, steering a long-hop from Binny straight into the hands of Ravindra Jadeja at point.
Rahane should have run Buttler out when the Lancashire man had only three runs to his name and the missed chance proved to be the crucial turning point.
Taylor and Buttler slowly rebuilt the England innings, the former making his fourth fifty in eight matches since being recalled to the one-day team.
With Taylor playing the anchor role, Buttler was able to play some shots and his sixth fifty in ODIs came from 58 balls and included a couple of sweetly-timed off-drives.
England had a late wobble - Taylor top-edging a pull shot to long-leg and Buttler holing out in the covers - but Woakes and Broad saw them home with 19 balls to spare.
The move was confirmed in a statement to the Stock Exchange on Monday.
An extraordinary general meeting is being held at Ibrox on Friday, when the future of the current board is to be decided.
It is unclear if chief executive Derek Llambias and finance director Barry Leach will also go before Friday.
The Rangers Supporters Trust (RST) says it is "delighted" at Somers' resignation, describing him as "inept and embarrassing".
It has also announced that it has been given the proxy vote for the shares owned by former Rangers manager Walter Smith and now claims to have voting rights for 6.3% of the shareholding.
The EGM was called by shareholder Dave King, who has tabled resolutions aimed at ousting the current board and appointing himself, Paul Murray and John Gilligan in their place.
Somers, 66, had been chairman since October but has faced numerous calls to step down by fans who have been protesting for change.
He said in a statement: "I have worked in the City of London, the world's greatest financial centre for decades and enjoyed considerable success.
"When I was approached about the chairmanship of Rangers, friends warned me that the world of football has different rules and codes of behaviour.
"I now know that is a gross understatement.
"I am a non-confrontational man and have always tried to bring harmony to boardrooms and with stakeholders.
"At the risk of antagonising my army of critics, I would point out that Rangers managed to pay its bills and avoid going under during my tenure.
"These critics might not agree with how we achieved this.
"I look forward to alternative solutions from whoever is running the club in the future.
"Despite the personal attacks on me from various sources, I genuinely wish the club the very best in the future and I am confident that with such a passionate and vociferous fan base they will be restored to their former glories."
Director James Easdale last week resigned from the board, giving his reason as a lack of support from the club's fans.
In a damning statement, the RST said Somers' comments were "entirely in keeping with his behaviour" during his tenure.
It said: "His lack of ambition or ability, rampant self interest, contempt for shareholders and fans, and disastrous dearth of understanding of the position of responsibility he held will be his legacy.
"He will be remembered as one of the most inept and embarrassing chairmen of our wonderful sporting institution."
And the fans' group has called for the remaining directors, Llambias and Leach, to "follow Mr Somers out of the door".
"Mr Leach should have resigned when he made disparaging comments about major shareholders in a meeting with fans," said the RST statement.
"This amounted to gross misconduct in our opinion and in any normally operating business he would no longer be in position. He should be suspended and subject to disciplinary procedures after the general meeting.
"Mr Llambias has serious questions to answer over the recruitment process which saw him appointed as chief executive. Not least whether the inaccurate information which appeared in his bio on the Rangers website, and was circulated to shareholders, formed part of the information relied on to support his application.
"His ham-fisted attempt to use legal threats to silence legitimate criticism from the outgoing Fan Board has further alienated supporters. Taken together we believe these make his position untenable. He should also be suspended and subject to disciplinary procedures after the general meeting."
On the subject of Smith passing his voting right to the RST, a spokesman said: "Obviously we are delighted that Walter has agreed to proxy his shares to us.
"We are sure he shares our hope that things are about to change for the better."

A police spokesman said it was not clear how those found had died, but that tests were being carried out to establish their identities.
The camp was found on Friday on a route regularly used to smuggle Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma).
One very ill survivor was also found.
Police General Jarumporn Suramanee told the AFP news agency that one of the 26 bodies recovered was a woman.
"There are no more bodies," he went on. "Every hole has been searched."
A police spokesman said earlier that human traffickers were believed to have abandoned the sick man a few days ago, as they moved people across the border from the camp, in Songkhla province.
The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Myanmar says that it is not immediately clear how the people died but that, from looking at the remains, police officers believe that many perished from disease or starvation.
The purpose of the camp is also unclear but our correspondent says that smugglers are known to hold people in camps for months while ransoms are demanded from their families back home.
Every year thousands of people are trafficked through Thailand and into Malaysia.
Rohingya Muslims in particular have used the route to flee persecution and sectarian violence in neighbouring Myanmar.
In 2012, more than 200 people were killed and thousands left homeless after violence broke out between Buddhists and Muslims in Myanmar. Anti-Muslim violence has flared several times since then.
In December, the UN passed a resolution urging Myanmar to give access to citizenship for the Rohingya, many of whom are classed as stateless.
Lawro's opponent for FA Cup fourth-round weekend is former Cambridge United and Manchester United striker Dion Dublin.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Dublin made his name as a striker with the U's, who sold him to United for £1m in 1992. He believed that Cambridge, who are mid-table in League Two and the lowest ranked side left in the competition, had a chance against the 11-time winners. And he was right!
"Anything can happen," Dublin told BBC Sport before the game. "There is always a chance in the FA Cup, there's always a twist.
"I don't think Cambridge will win the tie, best scenario is to get a draw. Underdogs do tend to find a few extra percent against teams like Manchester United."
How right he was as the sides battled out a goalless draw in front of the BBC cameras.
* Dion specified a scoreline, but declined to pick a winner. However, he says he wants a draw.

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 four correct results from 10 Premier League games, with no perfect scores.
His score of four points was beaten by comedian Seann Walsh, who picked five correct results, with one perfect score for a total of seven points.

The 153 skiers were stuck on the slopes of the Cervinia resort for seven hours on Saturday after wires carrying the cabins became tangled in strong winds.
The cars stopped at an altitude of more than 2,500m (8,366ft), and the rescue ended just before midnight.
No cases of hypothermia were reported during the incident in the Aosta Valley, near the French border.
"Luckily the wind wasn't too cold... everything is under control," Adriano Favre, the head of the local rescue teams, was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
Television pictures of the rescue showed the skiers using wires to slide down the cable to the ground.
In September, more than 30 tourists spent a cold night trapped in several cable cars high above the French Alps.
They were eventually freed after rescuers managed to restart the cabins by relaxing the tension of tangled cables.
Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA), the only charity-funded helicopter air ambulance, has been upgraded to a new model.
The new helicopter was revealed by Health Secretary Shona Robison and SCAA chairman John Bullough.
The UK government has provided £3.3m of funding for the new helicopter from Libor fines on banks.
The money comes from fines imposed on the banking industry for rigging the Libor benchmark interest rate.
The EC 135 replaces the current charity-funded air ambulance, the country's last Bolkow 105, which will be taken out of service.
The new helicopter was unveiled at the SCAA's Perth Airport base.
Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife said: "The new helicopter will provide a modern, spacious, powerful and all-round more capable aircraft that could increase operational capacity by over 50%.
"Since the charity Air Ambulance was launched it has attended over 750 time critical emergency callouts.
"The £3.3m funding provided by the UK government from Libor fines on banks is very welcome and has helped to put the air ambulance on strong and sustainable footing for the future.
"Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance is one of the best things that has happened in Perthshire. It has successfully brought together the public, big business and local community groups. I wish the charity the very best going forward."
So far, Putin has driven past all of them and shows no sign of changing course. A recent Pew poll provides at least a partial explanation: Putin has a considerable domestic political wind at his back.
Even though there is growing concern among the Russian people about the state of the economy, 88% of those surveyed nevertheless trust Putin's leadership.
Putin may well be driving Russia into the wilderness but so far the Russian people are enjoying the ride. The current dynamic reminds them of the halcyon days of the Soviet Union.
With no obvious end in sight, Europe, the United States and Russia are left with a series of reciprocal moves that do not necessarily represent an escalation but certainly deepen the chasm between East and West.
The European Union recently renewed sanctions against Russia for another six months as part of a Western strategy to increase the costs to Putin to a degree that it changes his calculus.
At least for now, Putin's domestic political gain outweighs the international pain.
US Defence Secretary Ash Carter, on a visit to Estonia, announced additional support for Nato's rapid reaction force.
While the prepositioning of equipment and increased exercises communicate the alliance's preparedness to defend its allies, the same Pew poll suggested that there is a discernible sentiment across "Old Europe", notably in Germany, against a military response, even if Russia attacks a Nato ally.
One key factor in that scepticism is Germany's preoccupation with keeping the European Union intact and the eurozone afloat.
In fact, if the EU fails to reach a revised financial agreement with Athens in time to meet a scheduled repayment to the International Monetary Fund on 30 June and Greece defaults, it may be forced out of the eurozone.
If that happens, the fallout could weaken either the existing European consensus on sanctions against Russia or their effectiveness, since Athens might increase its economic reliance on Moscow to help with its economic recovery.
Either way, Putin gains.
Putin for his part pledged to strengthen Russia's nuclear forces, the only genuine strategic card that Russia has left. And it plays well with the home crowd.
Nato is also committed to helping Ukraine improve its ability to defend itself, a process that will be likely to take a decade or more.
Recognising that stability will take years to achieve under the best of circumstances, as there is a growing understanding that the crisis is larger than Ukraine.
Until now, Europe has been guided by a sensible policy of isolating Russia over Ukraine while leaving all doors open for political, economic and military co-operation if and when Russia stops its destabilisation strategy against Kiev.
For example, Russia still has an ambassador at Nato and all the structures for defence co-operation remain in place, if dormant.
But Putin is challenging how the international system works, the degree to which international norms will be enforced and what regional prerogatives his country should have. Russian policy under Putin is far more about counterbalancing than co-operating.
Thus, the new Nato with 28 member states finds itself wrestling with an old question: what to make of Russia and what are the implications for transatlantic security.
To the extent Ukraine is not a temporary diversion but a manifestation of a more permanent challenge to Western interests and values, it raises the question of whether the current Russian revisionism is a reflection of its leader or the system that produced him.
If the leader is driving the system, the existing antagonism could last as long as a decade. If the system is driving the leader, then it requires a fundamental rethinking of the strategy that has guided European and American policy since the end of the Cold War.
That's not a question that needs to be answered now. Putin and Russia are currently one and the same.
But just to put that in perspective, presidential campaigning is under way in America. If the next president serves two terms, he or she will still be dealing with Putin in his or her eighth year in office.
If there is another attempt at a reset with Russia down the road, it will be the president after next who makes that attempt.

"I in no way advocate the gender pay gap," he said, claiming his remarks had been "taken out of context".
Chambers faced a social media backlash after claiming men's salaries should be higher as they had families to support.
The actor also said his Casualty co-star Derek Thompson deserved to be the BBC's highest-paid actor.
"It's like being a footballer - you earn your credits," he was quoted as saying at a book launch.
"I've just done six months on Casualty, but Derek has done 31 years of service."
"My wife works really hard as a stay-at-home mum, but I'm the only one bringing in a salary for our family," he reportedly went on to say.
"Many men's salaries aren't just for them, it's for their wife and children, too."
Thompson's salary was among those disclosed in the BBC's annual report, which highlighted a disparity between what the corporation's male and female celebrities are paid.
"I am completely mortified by the stories that have run today and didn't mean to offend anyone by my comments," Chambers told the Press Association on Tuesday.
"I was explaining that I thought it had stemmed from that past, and shouldn't be how things are now.
"I truly believe that change needs to happen."
Chambers, a former winner of Strictly Come Dancing, plays Sam Strachan on Casualty and its sister show Holby City.
His comments come amid continued debate about the BBC's pay disclosures and the wider issue of gender pay disparity.

Four people have been taken to hospital and a further eight treated for asthma symptoms since the fire began at a recycling plant on Thursday.
Described by authorities as "the size of a sports field", the fire is likely to burn for at least two more days.
It has cast smoke and ash as far as 15km (nine miles) away.
Metropolitan Fire Brigade Commander Brendan Angwin said the blaze is being fuelled by thousands of tonnes of plastic, cardboard and paper.
"It is extremely difficult to gain access to the fire," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"We are really concerned for firefighter safety."
The local Environmental Protection Agency has described air quality in the vicinity as "very poor".
Authorities have urged anyone near the fire, at Coolaroo in Melbourne's north, to take shelter indoors. An emergency relief centre has been set up.
It is the third fire this year at the facility, reports say.
German Under-21 international Kachunga, who is on loan from Bundesliga side Ingolstadt, headed past Daniel Bentley five minutes after the break.
The Bees pulled level through Nico Yennaris after he slipped the ball through loan keeper Danny Ward's legs.
However, Palmer netted with his second touch two minutes later after Bentley had saved well from Rajiv van La Parra.
After enjoying the lion's share of the ball in a goalless first half, the Terriers finally made the most of their most of their dominance when 24-year-old striker Kachunga nodded in at the far post from Tommy Smith's cross, leaving Bentley stranded.
Going a goal behind spurred Brentford into life, as Lewis Macleod's shot went just wide from 25-yards following Sam Saunders' free-kick.
Moments later, Macleod caught the Huddersfield defence napping, as his neat flick was collected by Yennaris for a simple tap-in.
However, 19-year-old Chelsea loanee Palmer - who came off the bench following the visitors' equaliser - brought the ball down brilliantly before scoring to ensure the hosts' first opening-day win since 2010.
Huddersfield manager David Wagner: "It was an outstanding performance and we had many opportunities in the first five or six minutes. In the second half we came into the game more and scored a great goal.
"Then we struggled for 10 or 15 minutes and defended too deep but then Kasey did a great job when he came on.
"What made me really proud was the togetherness we showed. The starting XI must know what the game plan is and those on the bench have to make an impact. Our substitutes were outstanding."
Brentford manager Dean Smith: "The game was a tactical stalemate until the first goal and that changed the game. I was disappointed with the first goal but overall the lads showed a lot of spirit.
"We brought on two subs - Yennaris and Sam Saunders - and we looked more lively. Nico gave us great energy when he came on and scored the goal. He had an infected toe and needed an injection so he could get on the field.
"At the moment we need wide players and that is what we are looking for."

Last week a High Court judge said the curb meant "real misery" for families with children aged under two.
Labour's Debbie Abrahams told the BBC the party would consider removing the £20,000 limit on household benefits if it came to power.
Ministers say the cap encourages work and help is on offer for lone parents.
The cap, first introduced in 2013 but reduced in 2016, limits the income households receive in certain benefits. The idea behind it was that no household should get more in benefits than the average working household.
Single parents win benefits challenge
Is the cap working?
Cap starts amid fears for single parents
The cap now stands at £23,000 for those in London and £20,000 a year outside London. Parents must work for at least 16 hours a week to avoid the cap.
But four lone parent families won a judicial review last week. Their solicitor said their benefits were, or were expected to be, cut as they were unable to work the 16 hours required.
The government says it will appeal against that ruling.
Mrs Abrahams, the shadow work and pensions secretary, said a Labour government would "make sure we would uphold the ruling from the court decision".
Asked whether the cap would go altogether under a future Labour government, Mrs Abrahams said: "We would be looking to see how we do that."
She admitted that Labour had not yet costed the measure but said: "We know that, for example, the court ruling is about £50m so it's not an astronomical figure."
She said she recognised that for some people the capped level "might seem like an awful lot of money".
However, she highlighted "the implications for people in the poorest circumstances, the implications around child poverty which affects children not just while they're young but for the rest their lives - it affects how their brains develop and everything."
Last week a judge in London ruled he was "satisfied that the claims must succeed" against the work and pensions secretary.
Mr Justice Collins said: "Whether or not the defendant accepts my judgment, the evidence shows that the cap is capable of real damage to individuals such as the claimants.
"They are not workshy but find it, because of the care difficulties, impossible to comply with the work requirement."
The solicitor who represented the claimants said she thought around 17,000 families were affected by the cap in this way.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman said: "The benefit cap incentivises work, even if it's part-time, as anyone eligible for working tax credits or the equivalent under Universal Credit, is exempt.
"Even with the cap, lone parents can still receive benefits up to the equivalent salary of £25,000, or £29,000 in London, and we have made discretionary housing payments available to people who need extra help."
They will forensically examine captured drones to try to find out who was flying them.
The invention of easy-to-fly, remote-controlled aircraft has caused a huge security headache for prisons.
But critics have called the plan a "red herring" to distract people from "chaos and crisis" in prisons.
The national initiative will see police and prison officers share information about the quadcopters and methods used.
Prisons Minister Sam Gyimah said: "We are absolutely determined to tackle the illegal flow of drugs and mobile phones into our prisons and turn them into places of safety and reform.
"The threat posed by drones is clear but our dedicated staff are committed to winning the fight against those who are attempting to thwart progress by wreaking havoc in establishments all over the country.
"My message to those who involve themselves in this type of criminal activity is clear: we will find you and put you behind bars."
The Prison Service could not give details about how many officers would be involved, but reports suggested £3m would be spent on the new task force.
John Podmore, former head of the service's anti-corruption unit, said whilst there was an issue with contraband in prisons, targeting this money at drones was a "PR stunt".
"I have seen no evidence that there is a real problem with drones," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "I think the number of incidents last year was 33.
"There are some 10,000 mobile phones found every year in prisons. My question to the Prison Service would be, how many of those were found hanging from drones?"
Instead, Mr Podmore thought the service should be looking the wider issue of contraband smuggling, including the "main route [of] staff corruption".
Mike Rolfe, national chair of the Prison Officers Association, said prisoners had told him that they had seen two or three drones a night delivering packages over the walls.
However, he said he agreed with Mr Podmore that the initiative was an attempt to distract people from "the real issue [of] jails in complete chaos, in a crisis and flooded with drugs, mobile phones and weapons".
BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford says prison walls are now not much of a barrier for those wanting to smuggle contraband into jails.
There have been some recent successes in finding and punishing those who are behind the drone flights, says the Ministry of Justice.
In December, Dean Rawley-Bell, 21, was jailed for four years and eight months after he used a drone in attempts to smuggle drugs and mobile phones into Manchester Prison.
Renelle Carlisle, 23, was sentenced to three years and four months in October after he was caught outside Risley Prison in Warrington with a drone in his bag, trying to smuggle drugs inside.
In July, 37-year-old Daniel Kelly was jailed for 14 months for trying to supply contraband to offenders in Elmley and Swaleside Prison in Sheppey, Wandsworth Prison in London and the Mount Prison in Hemel Hempstead.
The prime minister ruled out running for a third term in office ahead of the 2015 general election.
He said if he won he would serve the full five years of this Parliament, until 2020, and then leave Number 10.
Mr Cameron has been the MP for Witney, in Oxfordshire, since 2001.
He was re-elected in 2015 with a majority of 25,155.
Speaking to BBC deputy political editor James Landale last March, Mr Cameron had said: "I've said I'll stand for a full second term, but I think after that it will be time for new leadership.
"Terms are like Shredded Wheat - two are wonderful but three might just be too many."
There has since been much speculation over who will succeed him as prime minister, with Mr Cameron tipping Home Secretary Theresa May, Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson as potential leaders.
Mr Cameron was asked at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday if he would resign as PM if the UK voted to leave the EU - against his recommendation - in June. He replied: "No".
Victory for Mrs Clinton was widely expected but it gives her momentum ahead of the "Super Tuesday" primaries in 11 states this week.
"Tomorrow this campaign goes national," she told cheering supporters.
Mr Sanders has congratulated her but said the campaign was just beginning.
With almost all the votes counted Mrs Clinton leads Mr Sanders by an almost 50-point margin.
Eight out of 10 black voters backed Mrs Clinton, exit polls suggested, a key section of the Democratic electorate.
It is Mrs Clinton's third victory in four contests, after wins in Iowa and Nevada. She lost to Mr Sanders in New Hampshire.

Eight years ago, she lost the South Carolina primary overwhelmingly to then Senator Barack Obama.
It was a different story this time. Soon after polls closed she told supporters: "You sent a message - in America when we stand together, there is no barrier too big to break."
On the Republican side, billionaire Donald Trump leads a field that has dwindled to five from 12 a month ago.
He won the Nevada caucus on Wednesday by a wide margin - correspondents say he is beginning to look unstoppable.
In her victory speech, Mrs Clinton aimed a dig at the man tipped to be the Republican presidential candidate.
"Despite what you hear, we don't need to make America great again. America has never stopped being great," she said, referencing Mr Trump's campaign slogan.
Mr Trump's closest challengers in the Republican field, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, sought to put him under pressure by releasing several years of their tax returns.
The property magnate says he will not release his until an audit has been completed; his rivals accuse him of holding back the information to hide exaggerations about his wealth.
Mr Sanders, a veteran senator from Vermont, said he was now focussing on the Super Tuesday vote.
"In politics, on a given night, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Tonight we lost," he told reporters in Minnesota, one of the states taking part.
"I congratulate Secretary Clinton on her very strong victory. Tuesday, over 800 delegates are at stake, and we intend to win many of them."
But there was some welcome news for Mr Sanders after he was endorsed by Robert Reich, a former official in Bill Clinton's presidential administration.

In depth: Primary calendar
Sheffield City Council's cabinet agreed to set aside £262,000 from public health funds so voluntary groups can bid for cash to help running costs.
The idea came after thousands of people objected to council plans to close several of the city's 28 libraries.
The authority said it would work with community groups to finalise business plans by June.
Those libraries are: Broomhill, Ecclesfield, Frecheville, Gleadless, Greenhill, Jordanthorpe, Stannington, Totley, Upperthorpe and Walkley.
The council said if groups did not make "sufficient progress, or fail to submit a business plan to the required standard" closures would still be needed.
Speaking to business leaders, he called for London to have more autonomy in the aftermath of the EU referendum.
His speech came as a petition for London to become an independent state reached 175,000 signatures.
Responding, Mr Khan said: "As much as I might like the idea of a London city state, I'm not seriously talking about independence today."
He added: "I am not planning to install border points on the M25.
"But on behalf of all Londoners, I am demanding more autonomy for the capital - right now.
"More autonomy in order to protect London's economy from the uncertainty ahead, to protect the businesses from around the world who trade here and to protect our jobs, wealth and prosperity."
Mr Khan said he was not "asking for London to get a bigger slice of the British pie", but for Londoners to "get more control over the slice of the pie we already get."
City Hall said the mayor was looking for the devolution of fiscal responsibility, including tax raising powers, as well as more control over business and skills, housing and planning, transport, health and policing and criminal justice.
BBC London political editor Tim Donovan said Mr Khan wanted London to retain income from stamp duty and business rates, and he backed calls for a revaluation of council tax.
He was also calling for more control of suburban rail routes and the scope to borrow more for infrastructure, Donovan said.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said that London would have a seat in the negotiating table following Brexit.
London Councils supports the mayor and its chair, Jules Pipe, said: "London government is speaking with one voice on this issue. We need more power over our own destiny to help cope with the fallout of leaving the EU."
The mayor of London has insisted he is not getting involved in the Labour leadership issues facing Jeremy Corbyn.
He told BBC Radio London he has "not had time" to look at internal Labour Party politics because he has been focused trying to secure London's economic future and to reassure businesses following the Brexit result.
Mr Khan - who campaigned for a Remain vote - addressed business leaders at the Times CEO Summit this morning, where he asked for their help to push for London to have more autonomy over its finances.
He also said we can't blame the referendum campaign for decisions made by the public.
In the Democratic race, Bernie Sanders had a surprise victory in Michigan, but Hillary Clinton increased her overall lead with a big Mississippi win.
Ted Cruz won a Republican-only race in Idaho.
The states are the latest to choose candidates to compete in November's presidential election.
It was a terrible night for Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who came in a distant fourth in both Michigan and Mississippi, a week before his must-win contest in his home state.

Election results - as they come in
Mr Trump is leading Mr Rubio in his home state of Florida 40% to 24%, according to new CNN/ORC polls.
On Wednesday, he called on the Republican party to unite behind him, after a week of stinging criticism from party leaders.
"Instead of fighting it, they should embrace it," he said.
Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina came out in support of Ted Cruz, calling him a "constitutional conservative".
"Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are two sides of the same coin," she said at a rally in Miami. "They're not going to reform the system. They are the system."
"We're going to have to beat Donald Trump at the ballot box, and the only guy who can beat Donald Trump is Ted Cruz."
With his victories, Donald Trump has solidified his position as the Republican front-runner, withstanding a barrage of negative advertisements questioning everything from his business acumen to his use of vulgar and profane language.
Rather than deliver a conventional victory speech, the billionaire held a news conference and conducted what looked in parts like an infomercial, arguing that products that bear his name, like bottled water and wine, are commercial successes.
But it's the Trump political brand that's not only proving highly popular but also resilient to attacks from establishment Republicans who have intensified their attacks in the hope of slowing his momentum.
Showing how the normal political rules do not apply, Trump reckoned that one of the attack ads, bleeping out various swear words he's uttered during the campaign, actually boosted him because it showed that he's not bound by political correctness and tells it like it is.
In search of Trump's Scottish roots
How extreme are Trump and Cruz?
The Democratic opponent Mr Trump is most likely to face if he gets the Republican nomination, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, addressed voters in Ohio after her Mississippi win.
"Running for president shouldn't be about delivering insults," said Mrs Clinton, in a thinly veiled dig at the outspoken Mr Trump.
"It should be about delivering results."

Mr Sanders' win in Michigan came as a shock after weeks of polling that suggested Mrs Clinton was well ahead.
"I am grateful to the people of Michigan for defying the pundits and pollsters and giving us their support," Mr Sanders said in a statement following his win.
"This is a critically important night. We came from 30 points down in Michigan and we're seeing the same kind of come-from-behind momentum all across America."
Analysts say conservative firebrand Mr Cruz appears to be the only candidate capable of stopping Mr Trump, who has been fiercely attacked by the Republican establishment.
The party's 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, described Mr Trump as a bully and a fraud who would lose a general election because of his extreme positions on immigration and Islamic State.
A central plank of Mr Trump's campaign is to deport 11m undocumented migrants and build a wall on the southern border, paid for by Mexico.
The primary and caucus elections determine the number of delegates assigned to each of the candidates.
The delegates then endorse their candidate at the party conventions in July. To secure their party's nomination, a candidate must win a majority of delegates.
A gunman opened fire in Reina nightclub at about 01:30 local time (22:30 GMT), as revellers marked the new year.
Suleyman Soylu said efforts were continuing to find the attacker, who was believed to have acted alone.
At least 69 people were being treated in hospital, the minister added. Four were said to be in a serious condition.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the attackers were trying to "create chaos" and pledged to "fight to the end" against terrorism.
Addressing reporters, Mr Soylu said: "A manhunt for the terrorist is under way. Police have launched operations. We hope the attacker will be captured soon."
Only 21 of the victims had been identified, he said. Fifteen or 16 were foreigners, he said, and at least three of the Turkish victims may have been employees at the club.
"This was a massacre, a truly inhuman savagery,'' he said.
Early media reports suggested the attacker may have been wearing a Santa Claus outfit, but newly-obtained CCTV footage shows the suspected attacker in a black coat outside the club.
Mr Soylu said the gunman was wearing a coat and trousers, but "we were informed that he was wearing different clothes inside".
Reina nightclub, in the the Ortakoy area of Istanbul, is an upmarket venue on the banks of the Bosphorus.
Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin said the attacker killed a policeman and a civilian outside the club before entering and opening fire.
"Before I could understand what was happening, my husband fell on top me,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted Sinem Uyanik, who was inside the club, as saying.
"I had to lift several bodies from (on) top of me before I could get out. It was frightening.''
There were reportedly as many as 700 people in the nightclub at the time of the attack, some of whom jumped into the water to escape.
The Turkish authorities have imposed a media blackout on coverage of the attack, citing security and public order concerns, but it does not extend to official statements.
Some media reports spoke of more than one attacker and Dogan news agency reported that some witnesses claimed the attackers were "speaking Arabic", but there is no confirmation of this.
Despite there being no official statement about who might be behind this brutal attack, the finger of blame is being pointed at the so-called Islamic State.
In the last two years of attacks in Turkey, Kurdish militants have mostly targeted military forces and police, while IS is known to target civilians.
IS leaders have threatened Turkey and called on their followers to carry out attacks inside the country.
Turkey began a ground operation against IS as well as Kurdish groups inside Syria four months ago.
In a statement, President Erdogan condemned those trying to "demoralise our people and create chaos with abominable attacks which target civilians".
"We will retain our cool-headedness as a nation, standing more closely together, and we will never give ground to such dirty games."
US President Barack Obama, who is on holiday in Hawaii, was among the first international leaders to make a statement after being briefed by his team.
"The president expressed condolences for the innocent lives lost, directed his team to offer appropriate assistance to the Turkish authorities, as necessary, and keep him updated as warranted," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said in a statement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the "cynical" murder of civilians. "Our shared duty is to decisively rebuff terrorist aggression," he said in a telegram quoted on the Kremlin website.
Turkey and Russia are working together on efforts to end the fighting in Syria, though they support different sides in the conflict.
Istanbul was already on high alert with some 17,000 police officers on duty in the city, following a string of terror attacks in recent months.
Many were carried out by so-called Islamic State (IS) or Kurdish militants.
Less than a fortnight ago, Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov was shot dead by off-duty Turkish policeman Mevlut Mert Altintas as he gave a speech in the capital Ankara.
After the shooting, the killer shouted the murder was in revenge for Russian involvement in the conflict in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

Penelope Davis, 47, known as Pennie, was discovered in a field at Leygreen Farm, Beaulieu, on 2 September where she was tending to her horses.
Hampshire Police said Justin Robertson, 36, of no fixed abode, has been charged with murder following a joint decision with the Crown Prosecution Service.
He is due to appear before Southampton Magistrates' Court on Monday.
John Montague, prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service said: "I carefully reviewed all the available evidence provided to me by Hampshire Constabulary and I am satisfied that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute Justin Robertson with the murder of Penelope Davis."
The body of Mrs Davis, a mother of five, was found by her husband, Pete. The couple had married in May.
A post-mortem examination found she died from multiple stab wounds.
Mrs Davis, who worked in a local a supermarket, visited the field on a daily basis to tend to her horses.
A total of five people have been arrested in the case.
A 28-year-old woman from Hythe, Hampshire, arrested on Thursday on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder, has been released on bail until 3 November.
Leanne Doyle, 24, of Beech Crescent, Hythe, was charged on Monday with assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice.
She has been bailed and is due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on 1 October.
A 22-year-old man, previously arrested on suspicion of murder, has been released on bail, while a 37-year-old man held on suspicion of assisting an offender was also bailed.
The unusual sight was at Rosemarkie Beach in recent days.
Most are now believed to have been washed back out to sea.
Experts at Plymouth University's Marine Institute coined the starballing phrase after observing starfish changing their location last year.
Dr Emma Sheehan, a research fellow at the Marine Institute, told BBC Scotland of their initial discovery: "It was not until we were filming near Brighton and the tides were very strong.
"Suddenly we just started seeing these starfish roll up in a ball and fly along with the tide.
"This looked like a behavioural change so they could move efficiently.
"We suspect that if there is too much tide and wind it could end up in a mass stranding."
DCH says it has been reviewing its services after the government announced a 1% rent cut for social housing in England over four years.
A spokeswoman for the association said it was reviewing staffing and there could be up to 40 redundancies.
She said it would have to save up to £4.5m a year.
The spokeswoman said this was between 2.6% and 3.4% of the association's annual income.
"The consultations will consider changes to 85 roles and we anticipate that around 40 staff may be made redundant. Our focus now is on minimising redundancies."
She said it was not possible to go into more detail on what the budget cut would mean for services at the moment.
The national Housing Association Federation said the 1% rent cut could see the whole sector lose up to £3.9bn per year.
A spokesman said: "Housing associations are the most successful public-private partnerships in history and have created their business plans based on the current rental formula.
"Housing associations want to work with the Government to meet its housing ambitions, but this policy will make it much harder for them to do so."
A spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "Social housing rent has risen by 20% since 2010, more than double the increase in the private sector.
"Lowering social rents will help protect social tenants from rising housing costs, while ensuring fairness for taxpayers."
The firm asked for Note 7s to be returned following cases of phones that exploded during or after charging.
An ad announcing the move appeared on the front page of the JoongAng Daily newspaper.
The software update to limit batteries seems intended to provoke users who haven't yet returned their handsets.
It will begin to be rolled out from 20 September, the ad says.
The Associated Press reported that a similar advertisement also appeared on the front page of the Seoul Shinmun paper.
It has not yet been confirmed whether or not a similar update will be pushed out to phones in other countries.
The recall of faulty Galaxy Note 7 affects 2.5 million devices.
In the UK, Samsung has offered to replace the handsets from 19 September and has asked customers to contact the retailers or mobile operators from whom they bought the phones.
There have been more reports about exploding Note 7s causing problems in recent days.
The New York Post reported that a six year-old boy in Brooklyn was burned after a Galaxy Note 7 exploded in his hands.
He was taken to hospital but has since been discharged. Other reports have, however, suggested the case involved a different Samsung phone.
And a Florida man claimed that the device exploded while charging in his Jeep, setting the vehicle on fire.
Nathan Dornacher, who was interviewed by Fox News, said the car had been destroyed as a result.
"Keeping the battery at 60% or less and an over-the-air update to resolve a hardware problem will not be acceptable to the majority of users, and Samsung's competitors can have a field day with this in device battery life comparisons," Chris Jones, an industry expert at Canalys told the BBC.
"Most users will want to get rid of the device as soon as they can if they haven't already."
"I would say it's not the best solution," added Will Stofega at market research firm IDC. "You don't want to limit the functionality at all."
A spokesman for Samsung said that the firm had worked "intensively" to ensure that the quality of batteries was now assured.
"Based on a thorough inspection, we are now confident that the battery issue has been completely resolved in the replacement devices that will be arriving in Europe shortly," he said.
English Heritage refurbished Housesteads Visitor Centre in Hexham after an overhaul of the museum at the site last year.
Carole Keltie from English Heritage said the centre would host events over the summer focusing on the period when Housesteads was home to the Roman army.
About 100,000 people visit the attraction each year.
The redevelopment was supported by the National Trust and the Northumberland National Park Authority.
Film and Television Institute of India director Prashant Pathrabe told reporters that he was "mentally traumatised" by striking students.
Mr Pathrabe was held hostage for several hours over a disagreement in the assessment of their final projects.
Students are also unhappy over the appointment of a new chairman who they say is driven by "rightwing interests".
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Mr Pathrabe said that he had been rescued by police after "eight to nine hours of torture while being illegally detained by students".
"Is it just students' freedom that matters? What about my freedom?," he asked.
The late night arrest of the students had generated outrage in India, with many describing the action as "draconian". The students have been accused of seven different offences, including a non-bailable offence.
The incident is the latest point of confrontation between the students and authorities at the institute which is located in the western Indian city of Pune.
The students have boycotted classes for more than 60 days to protest against "insidious attempts" to fill the administration with people sympathetic to a "hardline Hindu nationalist agenda".
They insist that the new chairman of the institute, Gajendra Chauhan, does not have sufficient credentials to take up the post, and allege that he has merely been appointed because of his affiliation with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
They have refused to attend classes unless he was removed from the post. The government and institute authorities have rubbished the charges and threatened to expel the protesters.
The issue has taken on a political flavour with the Congress party vice-president Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal publicly expressing support for the students.
Mr Kejriwal has gone on to offer the students "space in Delhi" until the federal government agrees to their demands.
Prominent actors and directors have also taken up the issue which has been dominating Indian media headlines.
Director Dibaker Banerjee defended the students in a column for the Indian Express, while Bollywood actors like Ranbir Kapoor and his father Rishi Kapoor have also said they are "doing nothing wrong".
The Norwegian side created more chances in the Champions League third qualifying first leg and host Celtic for the return game next Wednesday.
"We'll look forward to that when it comes," Rodgers told BBC Scotland.
"We know we can go there and win. We actually score more goals away from home."
Celtic comfortably beat Linfield over two legs in the previous round while Rosenborg overcame Dundalk.
But the Scottish champions lost Moussa Dembele to a lengthy injury, with fellow striker Leigh Griffiths suspended for the first leg and also carrying a knock.
Midfielder Tom Rogic and substitute winger Jonny Hayes were deployed in central forward roles at different times in the match but Kare Ingebrigtsen's side were largely untroubled.
James Forrest fired wide and Stuart Armstrong had an effort saved but Rosenborg had the better openings with Vegar Eggen Hedenstad and Matthias Vilhjalmsson denied by Craig Gordon and Yann-Erik de Lanlay and Nicklas Bendtner unable to convert good chances.
"Of course, you're a wee bit frustrated with the result but 0-0 in European football's never a bad result," Rodgers said.
"I was delighted with the players. Their control of the game was excellent, in particular first half.
"[Rosenborg are] halfway through their season and at a really good level of fitness and you could see that.
"[It's] important you don't concede. We didn't concede and now we know that they'll come out a little bit more in the second leg and we know we score goals away from home.
"Of course, they're a good side and you can see that. They had some chances as well but, for us, or course, you're frustrated you didn't get the win.
"Normally in these types of games, there's very few chances and you hope that you can take them but if you don't, what is equally important is that you don't concede.
"So, they'll be happy with zero-zero but we're equally as happy because we know that we can go there and score goals."
Asked about the striker shortage, Rodgers replied: "I can't think too much on it, we don't have one, simple as that. We need to worry about other ways in which we can find the solutions to scoring goals.
"We had enough pressure in and around the box.
"I don't know [if Griffiths will be fit for next week]. We'll see how he is over the next few days and we'll assess it from there."
The builder told the Reuters news agency it would also review its commitments of land on which to build, after the UK voted to leave the EU.
Despite increasing new property completions by 5% last year, it said there was greater uncertainty facing the UK economy.
Mortgage lenders also said there would be uncertainty among potential buyers.
"Brexit, and its likely effect on the market, is a question to which the answer will not immediately be forthcoming," said Paul Smee, director general of the Council of Mortgage Lenders.
"Lenders will continue to be open for business as usual, but lending volumes may be affected by uncertain consumer sentiment."
The CML said that the number of mortgages advanced to first-time buyers, movers and buy-to-let investors rose in May compared with the previous month.
"There was a sense of the market regaining some equilibrium in May," Mr Smee said, adding that lenders might be affected by the subsequent referendum result.
Barratt Developments said the impact of the vote would require a more long-term assessment.
"Following the EU referendum, we are mindful of the greater uncertainty now facing the UK economy. Consequently, the immediate outlook for our industry is less clear and it is too early to draw any conclusions regarding market conditions from the short trading period since the referendum," it said.
"We had contingency plans in place and we have taken appropriate measures to reduce our risk, such as reassessing land approvals, as we continue to monitor the market."
Speaking to Reuters, Barratt chief executive David Thomas said: "We would look at future land commitments, our current commitments, we would also look at our build programmes and the extent to which we should slow down our build programmes."
Since the vote, Barratt's share price has fallen more than 25% - alongside falls among other housebuilders - as economists warn of a slowdown that could end up hitting the housing market.
However, it said its annual pre-tax profit would increase to £680m from £565.5m last year, and that its average selling price had risen by 10.6% to £260,000.
Where can I afford to live?
The figures come as analysis by the Yorkshire Building Society suggested that the UK has built one million fewer houses since 2004 than the number needed to keep up with demand.
It pointed to the 2003 Barker Review of Housing Supply, which suggested that 270,000 houses were needed a year in England alone to bring house price inflation under control.
The building society found the number of housing completions across the UK had never reached the 270,000 level - and it said at least 1.2 million additional homes would be needed.
"The Brexit decision and the uncertainty it creates around the prospects for private sector house builders, not to mention the country's economic outlook, is likely to heighten the housing crisis," said Andrew McPhillips, chief economist at Yorkshire Building Society.
"Addressing the shortage of homes must remain high on the government's agenda regardless of the work required following the EU vote. The longer we leave the supply crisis to worsen, the more difficult it will be to resolve.
"The UK has failed to build the number of homes needed to meet demand year after year, which has consequently inflated prices and made it even more difficult for those looking to buy."
The large snake was spotted at a house in Yeovil and reported to the RSCPA by a "worried man".
RSPCA's Alison Sparkes said: "I think he got a bit of a surprise. It's not everyday you stumble upon a 4ft snake in the bushes."
It is currently being cared for by staff in the exotics department at nearby Lufton College while the charity tries to track down its owner.

The animal welfare charity said it was seeing a growing number of exotic animals - including snakes - being abandoned because people "do not realise what they are taking on".
"It's hard to know for sure how this snake came to be in the undergrowth here - it may have escaped from a vivarium or may have been abandoned," said Ms Sparkes.
"But if anyone thinks they may know who this snake belongs to then we would urge them to get in touch with us."
The quarterly survey from the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) is the latest indication that the UK's economic recovery is strengthening.
There was further good news from a survey of the UK's construction sector.
The Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index indicated the sector grew for the second month in a row in June.
"The UK upturn is slowly strengthening," said David Kern, the BCC's chief economist.
The BCC said export sales had grown by their fastest rate since it began publishing its survey in 1989.
By Hugh PymChief economics correspondent, BBC News
Two swallows don't make a summer and two positive economic indicators don't guarantee a sustainable recovery.
But the upbeat noises from the British Chambers of Commerce and construction purchasing managers today (and manufacturing yesterday) reinforce the assumption amongst many economists that growth picked up in the second quarter of this year.
It adds up to a brighter background to Mark Carney's first Monetary Policy Committee meeting at the Bank of England.
On Thursday he will have to cast his first vote alongside colleagues who have voted against a further loosening of policy in recent months.
There is little in recent data which might persuade the six out of nine on the committee who have voted against more money creation (quantitative easing) to change their minds.
So Mr Carney will have to decide whether to go along with them or start off his tenure in a minority favouring more quantitative easing, as his predecessor Sir Mervyn King was.
It now expects GDP to grow by 0.6% in the second quarter of 2013.
That is significantly more positive than its previous forecast, where it predicted growth of 0.9% for the whole year.
The survey adds to a slew of recent positive data suggesting the UK economy is beginning to strengthen after a long and slow recovery from the global financial crisis.
On Monday, PMI data also suggested UK manufacturing is growing at its fastest rate in two years, while Bank of England figures showed that mortgage approvals hit a three-and-a-half-year high in May.
Last week, official data showed the services sector, which accounts for about three-quarters of the economy, was continuing to grow.
Mr Kern said the services sector in particular was benefitting from rising exports.
"The remarkable export balances show that the service sector is capable of increasing its trade surplus over time and can work to reduce our overall trade deficit," he said.
"Developing the export potential of this sector is critical to long-term prosperity."
The BCC said the number of businesses looking to export had increased in the face of a flat domestic market, and exporters were increasingly looking to the rest of the world outside Europe.
However, there are still concerns that the recovery could yet be derailed.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, BCC director general John Longworth said there had been "false dawns" of recovery before, where business expansion had been choked off by banks being unwilling to lend the money required.
He also said inflation remained a worry among businesses.
But UK businessman Luke Johnson, the former chairman of Pizza Express, told the BBC he believed there was a "real recovery" under way.
"I think the consistency of all the surveys and statistics coming through over the last six to 12 months is pretty compelling," he said.
"I sense a rising tide of animal spirits. Of course there are always threats and challenges ahead [but] sentiment is now much better, and this is now a real recovery."
The woman identified as Miriam Carey of Stamford, Connecticut, had a one-year-old girl in the car. She was unharmed.
Authorities have searched a home in Stamford believed to be Ms Carey's.
On Thursday, police said she attempted to bypass a security gate at the White House, and officers opened fire as she sped off towards Capitol Hill.
Ms Carey, a 34-year-old dental hygienist, was said to have suffered mental illness in recent months.
Law enforcement officials suggested the incident may have stemmed from a delusional obsession with US President Barack Obama and a belief he was stalking her, local media reported.
Chief Jonathan Fontneau of the Stamford police said that officers had been called to her home there "at least once" but that she had no criminal background.
Her mother, Idella Carey, told reporters on Friday her daughter suffered post-partum depression after the birth of her daughter last August.
"A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed... She was hospitalised," she said.
Stamford police said they were notified immediately following the incident on Thursday afternoon and searched the suspect's home for any related evidence.
"We did not deem there to be any danger," Mr Fontneau said after the search was completed.
Although the reason for Thursday's incident remains unclear, police said it was neither an act of terrorism nor an accident.
At 14:12 local time (18:12 GMT) on Thursday, a black Infiniti sedan rammed security fencing at the outer perimeter of the White House, police said.
Tourists, congressional staff and senators watched as a convoy of police vehicles chased the car down Constitution Avenue outside the Capitol, where the two houses of Congress meet.
Footage showed the car at one point surrounded by police but the driver managed to escape, speeding around a roundabout.
Images showed police pointing guns at the car before the driver rammed a Secret Service vehicle and carried on driving.
Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier told reporters that officers later shot and killed the woman on a nearby street.
Capitol Police briefly locked down the building where members of the House of Representatives and Senate were debating how to end the current government shutdown.
Police said the two injured officers were in good condition and expected to recover.

Sir Elton appointed Taylor as Watford manager in 1977, a year after the singer took ownership of the club.
Within five years, Taylor took the Hornets from the old Fourth Division to runners-up in the top flight, going on to reach the 1984 FA Cup final.
"We will cherish Graham and drown our sorrows in the brilliant memories he gave us," Sir Elton wrote on Instagram.
"This is a sad and dark day for Watford. The club and the town. We went on an incredible journey together and it will stay with me forever.
"I love you Graham. I will miss you very much."

Taylor, who managed England between 1990 and 1993, died on Thursday morning following a suspected heart attack, his family said.
He was a highly successful club manager who also worked at Lincoln, Wolves and Aston Villa, guiding the latter to second place in the First Division in 1990.
After resigning as England boss in 1993 following the team's failure to qualify for the 1994 World Cup, he managed Watford for a further five years, between 1996 and 2001.
He retired from football in 2003, later becoming a respected BBC pundit.
Sir Elton sold his stake in Watford in 1987, the year Taylor left for Villa, but he returned again as chairman in 1997.
"I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear about Graham's passing. He was like a brother to me," he added.
"He took my beloved Watford from the depths of the lower leagues to uncharted territory and into Europe. We have become a leading English club because of his managerial wisdom and genius."

Watford will hold a minute's applause in honour of their former manager before Saturday's home Premier League match against Middlesbrough, and their players will wear black armbands.
They will also organise additional tributes, involving officials and supporters from the club.
The club say they are "inviting supporters to tweet their tributes to the club's most successful manager by using the hashtag #thankyouGT".
The EFL said a minute's applause will be held before this weekend's fixtures, while clubs will have the option of wearing black armbands.
Football Association chairman Greg Clarke described Taylor as "a hugely popular and respected figure in the game".
He added: "He had an exceptional knowledge and a love for the game that never diminished over the years. He will be much missed by us all at Wembley and St George's Park."
Match of the Day host and former England international Gary Lineker said Taylor was "an outstanding manager, lover of football and thoroughly decent man".
He added: "He made me his England captain and I will be eternally grateful to him for giving me that honour."
Former England striker Alan Shearer, who made his international debut under Taylor in 1992, said he was "completely shocked" by the news of Taylor's death, adding he "held him in the very highest regard".
Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore said: "You will struggle to find a more decent individual in football, one who cared passionately about all levels and aspects of the English game."
Howard Wilkinson, chairman of the League Managers' Association - of which Taylor was the first president, paid tribute to his "lifelong friend".
"I greatly admired Graham for his honesty, tenacity, professionalism and his capacity for innovation, which earned him richly deserved success," he said.
"Football has lost one of its greatest servants and our thoughts and condolences are with his wife Rita, his daughters Joanne and Karen, and the rest of his family."
Burnley manager Sean Dyche, who was given his first managerial job by then Watford chairman Taylor, said: "For such a legend at Watford to be helping you have that chance, and helping me along the way as a young manager, I'm absolutely devastated."
Former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne said Taylor's "enthusiasm for life and football was incredible".
Professional Footballers' Association chairman Gordon Taylor said he had known Graham Taylor since they were both aged 15 at England schoolboy trials.
"He was a real quality human being. He cared about his fellow pros and the good of the game. He should be remembered as a man who added to the game, who really showed his ability as a manager," he said.
"I'm proud and privileged to have been able to call him a friend."
The 20-year-old signed a professional contract with the Hammers in 2015 but was released in the summer.
The right-back is manager David Flitcroft's 10th signing since taking charge at the County Ground.
"I'm delighted to have got my future sorted and Swindon is a great place for my development," Knoyle told the club website.

Kev Largey, from Belfast, was invited to 'make hay' while the sun did or didn't shine in County Tyrone by Sliabh Beagh Arts Project.
The group wants to bring the arts into rural communities and Kev's graffiti art has proved a hit.
He has painted up a huge pyramid of silage bales.
"I get lots of beeps from passing cars," he said.
"People come up and ask me what I'm doing. They also want to take photographs. It's been very positive."
The switch from painting walls to painting silage bales took a little time but, armed with his spray paints, he has converted the huge black plastic wrapped bales into something to smile about.
They are eye catching and motorists stop on the A4 Belfast Road outside the town to have a proper look.
"I normally do walls and buildings. Black plastic is a bit different," he said. "The paintings on the bales are not going to last forever, but that is part of the beauty of it."
And the art work should prove a little food for thought for the local livestock too. It's not often you get such colourful wraps on your dinner.
Kev's mainstay is street art and wall murals. He has been working as a graffiti artist for 10 years.
Painting bales needs a certain level of fitness, he said.
"It involves a lot of long days and a lot of climbing. The bales are high."
But he relishes the fact that so many people are interested.
"One of the days, I seemed to be chatting to people more than painting. And then there was the day of the massive downpour. Luckily a man was able to give me shelter in his car. People have been great. They have been so very friendly."
Kev has painted the fronts of 14 bales so far, piled up in a pyramid structure in the field.
His is very much "a work in progress", he said.
Fans have formed long queues outside Falkirk Stadium this week ahead of the two legs against Kilmarnock.
"It's the talk of the dressing-room," said manager Houston.
"It tells you that the fans are right behind the club, they want to be here to see the ambition to try to get back into the Premiership."
The Championship side, who defeated Hibernian in Friday's semi-final, host Kilmarnock in the first-leg on Thursday.
And they have already sold out the home allocation, while only a few hundred tickets remain for the second-leg at Rugby Park on Sunday.
"I've spoken to friends who are publicans up in the city centre who said the place was jumping on Friday night," said Houston.
"That's what you expect, because Falkirk fans are passionate about their club and they're not shy to show it.
"When you're not winning games, they're not shy about that either."
Houston is confident his Falkirk players will maintain the form that carried them to second place in the Championship.
His side lost only four league games all season, only one of which was to a team - Livingston - outwith champions Rangers and third-top Hibernian.
Kilmarnock have struggled all season in the Premiership and were unable to avoid finishing second bottom despite replacing Gary Locke as manager with Lee Clark.
Houston admits that Kilmarnock's inconsistency means that Falkirk cannot predict what kind of games they will face in the two legs but says that his players are in a positive frame of mind following their dramatic, last-minute winning goal in Friday's 3-2 victory over Hibs.
"We're really looking forward to two games against Kilmarnock and we know they're going to be very difficult games," he said.
"When you look at the results that Hibs have had against good clubs in the Premiership this season, and Rangers as well, who beat Kilmarnock, then you say to yourself that we'll have a go and we shouldn't fear anything.
"With the way that we're playing, we've proven this season that we've been difficult to beat.
"We hope to put Kilmarnock under pressure and give them a right good go over the two games.
"We have a great desire not to get beaten, we work very hard in every match.
"We don't always play well, but these are the characteristics of teams that can win football matches."
Houston, whose side reached last year's Scottish Cup final before losing to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, says his players have begun to show they have the mentality to perform in front of "big, partisan crowds".
"They've gone to Hamdpen in the cup final and they didn't freeze," he said. "That experience will stand them in good stead in the next couple of games."
Robbie has become something of a celebrity in Usk since flying the nest, with his loud squawks giving neighbours early morning wake-up calls.
People have tried to catch him but he cannot be coaxed down from the rooftops.
Now the council has appealed for a bird specialist to help return him home.
Robbie has taken up temporary residence between the rooftop of resident John Davies' home and the terrace of the town's Mad Platter bar, where he now has a cocktail named after him.
For the past three weeks the bird, which is green with red and yellow markings and a little bigger than a crow, has become neighbours' newest alarm clock - screeching loudly at 05:00 BST.
Despite a few early scuffles with the native wildlife, Mr Davies said Robbie was managing to fend off unwanted attention from other birds and was starting to "hold his own".
Mr Davies said: "He's a character. The first time I heard him, I thought 'what the heck is that?' The noise is very loud, very shrill.
"It was annoying as hell. But he wasn't there on Sunday, I thought something bad had happened to him, but I was glad to see him back.
"He's always on the chimney pots. Somebody said the owners had been around and he just flies off. Maybe he's enjoying his adventure.
"It was a massive annoyance at first but now I am kind of attached to him. But I'd like to see him go home."
Monmouthshire council launched a bid to return him to his owners after he was seen out in the rain on Thursday night.
In an appeal on its Facebook page, the council wrote: "Parrot expert wanted to save Robbie the parrot... Robbie is a local celebrity who has escaped his home in Usk and is currently living on local buildings, he's totally beautiful, very noisy and has a cocktail in the Mad Platter named after him!
"It's time for him to be returned home - can you help please?"
It had allowed defendants to reduce criminal responsibility by claiming provocation due to an unwanted sexual advance.
In 2008, it was used as a partial defence to reduce two men's murder charges to manslaughter.
The case prompted a campaign for the controversial law to be changed.
Wayne Ruks was bludgeoned to death in a Maryborough church ground in 2008 by two men after one said he had grabbed his crotch.
After successfully using section 304 of the Criminal Code [killing on provocation] the two men charged with his murder received lesser jail terms.
One of his attackers was released after just four years of a nine-year manslaughter sentence.
Queensland Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Yvette D'Ath said: "The passing of this legislation sends an important message that discrimination is not acceptable and that we value the LBGTI community."
Wayne Ruks's mother, Joyce Kujala, said she had waited eight years for the change.
"It can't bring Wayne back but it's some small justice and it could save a lot of lives in future," she said.
The commercial featured a conversation between two puppets about the costs of a Wonga short-term loan.
The Advertising Standards Authority upheld the complaints, saying it was misleading by implying a representative APR of 5853% was "irrelevant".
The authority said the advert must not appear again in its current form.
In the advert, the puppets said: "Right, we're going to explain the costs of a Wonga short-term loan.
"Some people think they will pay thousands of per cent of interest. They won't of course - that's just the way annual rates are calculated. Say you borrowed £150 for 18 days, it would cost you £33.49."
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 31 complaints about the advertisement.
Wonga said it was not fair or reasonable to view the advert as confusing.
The company insisted the information that appeared on screen had followed industry regulations and was intended to clarify the costs of a loan.
The ASA said: "Whilst we acknowledged that viewers taking out and repaying the loan within the stated time period would not repay 5853% of the loan, we were nevertheless concerned that viewers would be left without a clear understanding of how the information in the on-screen text could be applied to a Wonga loan, given the ad's assertion that the representative APR was not indicative of the cost of the loan.
"We considered that, though it attempted to clarify the costs associated with a Wonga loan, the ad created confusion as to the rates that would apply. On that basis, we concluded that the ad was misleading."
The ASA also found that the representative example, including the representative APR, was not sufficiently prominent in the advert and that the ad irresponsibly encouraged viewers to disregard the representative APR.
Barack Obama was gifted a kilt and a pair of trousers in his new family tartan when he attended a charity fund-raising dinner at the EICC in May.
It has navy blue to represent the flag of Hawaii where the 44th, and first African-American, president was born.
Green from the Kenyan flag, where his father was born, has also been used.
Sky blue and white are taken from the flag of Chicago where Mr Obama lives and works.
Tartan designer Brian Halley of Glasgow-based Slanj Kilts, who was asked to design the special tartan, said he had been "sworn to secrecy" over the project.
He told BBC Scotland: "When I received the email asking me if I could make a tartan quickly, and who it was for, I felt very excited and honoured.
"I don't think there is a more famous man and I think he has the second most Twitter followers in the world, so it was very exciting.
"I was sworn to secrecy at the time, it was all very hush-hush.
"Apparently, he loves the tartan and said he would wear the trousers rather than the kilt as he thinks his legs are too thin.
"I don't think his legs are too thin, anyone can wear a kilt."
Now that Mr Obama has officially registered the tartan under his name, he has the rights to it.
The charity fund-raising dinner raised £670,000 for charities taking part in the Kiltwalk campaign including the Maggie's Centres and Glasgow's Beatson Clinic.
It was shut at 22:00 GMT on Wednesday, leading to delays for motorists as traffic queues built up on both sides of the Dartford Crossing on Thursday.
Clockwise traffic used the east bore of the Dartford Tunnel with anti-clockwise traffic diverted to the west bore.
Delays were still being reported for drivers on Thursday evening.
Earlier, ferry services from Dover were also delayed because of rough seas.
The Port of Dover said all P&O services to Calais and DFDS ferries to Dunkirk were affected, with passengers being advised to contact the operators for further information.
Southern and Southeastern railways both said a number of services in Kent had been disrupted because of trees and obstructions on the line.
On Tuesday, the QEII Bridge was also closed for several hours because of high winds, which caused widespread disruption across south-east England.
Van driver Christopher Hayes, 51, died as a beech tree fell on his cab in high winds in Tunbridge Wells.
Injuries to summer signing Matt Toomua and Manu Tuilagi have left Tigers struggling for numbers in the backs.
Mauger told BBC Radio Leicester that Mermoz, 30, is "definitely" a target.
"Nothing has been agreed, but he is one of the players we are looking at. We have been searching for a replacement for Manu and Matt," said Mauger.
The entrepreneur and philanthropist founded the Kwik Save supermarket chain in 1965 before amassing a fortune in excess of £1bn.
In 2011, Mr Gubay was honoured by the Pope for his charity work.
His firm The Derwent Group said: "It is with the greatest sadness that we have to announce the death of our founder.
"Our thoughts are with his wife Carmel, his children and grandchildren," added a spokesman.
In 2011, Albert Gubay revealed to the BBC that, as a young businessman, he had made a divine pact.
"One Saturday, I didn't know where the next penny was coming from and I lay on my bed and I had this conversation with God," he said.
"I said 'God, help me and whatever I make over the years of my life, when I die, half will go to the church.'"
Since then, profits from his business empire have been distributed each year to charitable causes.
Half of his money, from his £1bn fund, goes to causes identified by the Roman Catholic Church, with the other half going to good causes selected at the discretion of the trustees.
In recognition of his generosity, he was awarded a Papal Knighthood - the highest award a Roman Catholic lay person can receive.
Mr Gubay was born in 1928 in Rhyl to an Irish mother and Iraqi Jewish father.
He began his business career in North Wales selling sweets during rationing in the aftermath of World War Two.
He went on to launch several successful business including the Total Fitness empire and acquiring property developments in Liverpool and Manchester.
One venture, the Mount Murray Country Club on the Isle of Man was badly damaged and subsequently closed down after a fire in 2013.
Mr Gubay amassed a fortune in excess of £1bn, a number he argued was "so great it does not mean anything".
"I know some people who don't want to give anything away," he told the BBC.
"I don't know what for because there comes a time you can't grab on to it so you might as well try to do some good with it."
Indiana state police found Kevin Bell, 39, along a US road three days after he and his girlfriend, Nikki K Reed, lost control of the car and struck a tree.
Ms Reed, 37, died in the crash and Mr Bell sustained leg injuries that had prevented him from seeking help.
The couple had been reported missing by Ms Reed's family.
Family members said that Ms Reed, a mother of three, had been expected to return home from a trip to Dover, Pennsylvania, where she had picked up Mr Bell.
She was last heard from on her trip back to Seymour, Indiana, on Saturday. Mr Bell's family had also been unable to reach him since Saturday.
Kristie Bevers, Ms Reed's friend, said she missed a call from her on Saturday morning.
"It bothers me because I could've talked to her. I could've heard her voice one more time," Ms Bevers said.
Mr Bell appeared to lose control of the car, which slid down an embankment and struck a tree, killing Ms Reed.
He managed to crawl to a road three days after the accident and was taken to hospital. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening, police said.
Jesse Quaye, 18, and Ayomindy Bile, 15, stabbed Connor Barrett, in Norfolk.
Mr Barrett, 20, died while trying to protect a friend at the private event in Hemsby, on 10 May last year, Norwich Crown Court heard.
Quaye, of Crittens Road, and Bile, of Howard Street North, both of Great Yarmouth, will each serve a minimum of 15 years.
Judge Stephen Holt said the pair, who had denied the charge, had to be sentenced as if they were adults.
Judge Holt said: "It is quite clear Connor Barrett was a much loved young man and the life and soul of many parties - he preferred to talk rather than resort to violence."
Mr Barrett's family and friends would have to live with the tragic events for the rest of their lives, he added.
Quaye, Bile and others had seen details of the party on social media, the court heard.
The killers were also found guilty of actual bodily harm against Ricky Halliday, whom Mr Barrett was trying to defend.
Bile had two previous convictions for street robberies.
He had earlier been arrested for possession of a kitchen knife in a public place and was on bail, the court was told.
Stephen Spence, defending Bile, said: "This was not a premeditated attack but a moment of madness."
Paul Keleher, for Quaye, admitted his client was part of a knife-carrying culture.
"Some young men feel the need to carry a knife - usually out of bravado, sometimes out of a misguided sense it is needed for self defence," he added.
Mr Barrett's family said in a statement after the sentencing: "Connor was a considerate, kind, caring and loving great grandson, grandson, son, brother, nephew and cousin.
"He was also a dedicated and devoted father to his own son.
"His life has been cruelly stolen from him and his family, when he was coming into the prime of his life just a month away from his 21st birthday.
"We accept the sentence but in no way feel that justice will be served, as no length of time will ever help us come to terms with what we have lost."
Bignone and 14 other military officers were found guilty by a court in Argentina after a three-year trial.
Many left-wing activists were kidnapped and killed in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Bolivia.
Human rights activists have hailed the ruling.
Judges at the court in Buenos Aires announced the sentencing of Bignone, Argentina's last dictator, on Friday.
Former Uruguayan Col Manuel Cordero - the only non-Argentine defendant - was jailed for 25 years.
The judges are continuing to deliberate the sentencing of the rest of the former military officers.
Since the trial started in 2013, five defendants, including Jorge Rafael Videla, the head of Argentina's junta during its first three years, have died.
"This ruling, about the co-ordination of military dictatorships in the Americas to commit atrocities, sets a powerful precedent to ensure that these grave human rights violations do not ever take place again in the region," Jose Miguel Vivanco, Americas director for Human Rights Watch, said.
The verdict hearing took place in the largest courtroom in Buenos Aires and it lasted over an hour.
The hall was full of survivors and relatives of victims who had travelled from neighbouring countries.
A Uruguayan flag was hanging in the hall, marking the first time a former Uruguayan officer had gone on trial for torture in Argentina.
The only defendant present was Angel Furci, who was found guilty of illegal kidnapping in 67 cases and 62 cases of torture - for his actions at the Automotores Orletti illegal detention centre.
At the end of the sentencing process, families of victims shouted "Presente!" (present), the chant dedicated to those who disappeared.
Operation Condor - named after the largest vulture in South America - began in 1975 at a meeting of intelligence chiefs from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
It later came to include Brazil, and - in a more peripheral role - Ecuador and Peru.
The operation, which continued in the 1980s, brought together the military of neighbouring nations that had previously been at war with each other in order to fight a new common enemy - the spread of Marxist ideology throughout the region.
The wounded man is said to have been captured. Earlier an intruder was arrested at district offices of Turkey's ruling AK Party.
On Tuesday two members of a Marxist group took a prosecutor hostage at an Istanbul courthouse. All three died later in a shootout with police.
The banned DHKP-C claimed that attack.
Governor Vasip Sahin said that in Wednesday's attack, the woman assailant was carrying a bomb. At least one police officer was injured in the clash.
TV footage showed the dead woman lying on the road near the police building.
Earlier on Wednesday hundreds thronged to the funeral of prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz at the courthouse where he was shot dead.
He had been investigating the death of a teenager who was hit on the head by a police tear gas canister during anti-government protests in 2013.
The DHKP-C revolutionary group said their militants had acted to avenge the death of 15-year-old Berkin Elvan.
Before the fatal shootout, the hostage-takers said the police blamed for Elvan's death must confess and be tried by "peoples' courts".
At the prosecutor's funeral, Justice Minister Kenan Ipek called the attack "a gun directed at our nation".
"We don't see this as an attack on our deceased prosecutor, but on the whole justice system," he said.
His funeral later moved to the city's Eyup Sultan mosque, where Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and ex-President Abdullah Gul were among the mourners.
At least 19 members of the DHKP-C were detained in the southern city of Antalya on Wednesday, but it is not clear if this was connected to the hostage-taking.
The station is being doubled in size and will include a number of new shops, cafes and larger waiting areas.
Northampton Borough Council leader David Mackintosh, said: "This will be a facility we can be proud of and will present a fitting welcome for visitors to our town."
Construction is due to be completed in the autumn of next year, with a new car park to be built at a later date.
The West Northamptonshire Development Corporation, which is overseeing the project, said without a bigger station the town's economic growth would be "constrained".
The government is funding half the project, with the rest of the money coming from Northamptonshire County Council and Network Rail.
The station is being built next to the existing building, which will be knocked down once completed.
Prior to building work, excavations of the new site found remains dating back to Saxon times.
Chairman Tony Fernandes has indicated he would appeal against a fine from the Football League, which would be around £54m if losses for Rangers' promotion season matched the £65.4m in 2012-13.
If the club don't pay, the league can block entry to its competitions.
"Fair play would be everyone having £30m a year to spend," said Redknapp.
Rangers are expected to release their 2013-14 financial figures at some point before the end of November.
It has been argued relegated clubs are at greater risk of FFP penalties due to the huge wage costs associated with the Premier League.
QPR, who visit Manchester United on Sunday, were promoted to the top-flight after being relegated at the end of the 2012-13 season.
Their swift return to the top tier had the potential to cause the Football League (FL) difficulties as they could be left trying to collect fines from clubs who are no longer in their jurisdiction.
The FL governs the Championship, League One and League Two, as well as the Capital One Cup and Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
"To make it fair play we should be able to spend as much as Manchester United have spent before we play them on Sunday," added Redknapp on Friday.
"That would be fair play, wouldn't it?
"What is fair play because one club can spend £200m on a team and another might spend £8-10m on their team. That's not fair play really, is it?"
Meanwhile, Redknapp says he could sign a new contract with QPR on Friday or Saturday.
The 67-year-old former Tottenham manager has been in charge at Loftus Road since November 2012.
"Maybe today or tomorrow it will get done," said Redknapp.
Speaking after Scotland voted by a 10% majority to remain part of the UK, Mr Jones said the union must be rebuilt.
He called for the "underfunding of Wales by £300m a year" to be addressed by the UK government.
Prime Minister David Cameron said Wales must have more say in its own affairs.
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said he had been talking to Mr Cameron about the need for Wales to be "front and centre" of any talks and said he was "totally reassured" it would be.
However, speaking at a press conference, Mr Jones said he had yet to talk to Mr Cameron about how that would happen.
"He needs to get us all around the table," said Mr Jones.
"It's time for our constitution to be put on a coherent footing, no more tinkering at the edges year after year.
"The UK has suffered a serious injury and a sticking plaster will not do.
"Sudden declarations of English votes for English laws is an example of that sticking plaster. The old union is dead. It's time for a new union."
He added: "We need to start these talks now. The establishment nearly lost the union The people of these nations must now rebuild it".
The first minister was keen to speak about the estimated £300m shortfall in funding that Wales receives. It is currently given £1.5bn a year from Westminster.
"It's important that we're able to get the fair share of funding that we need in order to ensure that we have the NHS that we all want," he added.
"Wales cannot and will not play second fiddle."
While saying he was pleased with the Scotland referendum result, Mr Jones warned: "The prime minister almost sleepwalked to disaster last night.
"The promises from the three UK party leaders now have to be delivered."
Speech makes "powerful claim"
Prof Laura McAllister, professor of governance at Liverpool University, said Mr Jones made a very strong case in his speech for Wales to be treated equally in future devolution discussions.
"The first minister is making a powerful claim - that Wales must be treated as an equal when it comes to the consideration of constitutional realignment," she said.
"There is a certain language... the four of us, equal partners around the table. I think this is entirely appropriate and entirely strategic.
"There was always a danger Wales would be viewed as a junior partner.
"Carwyn Jones makes a very strong case and quite rightly. He is the leading Labour politician in the UK at this point in time."
Stephen Crabb told BBC Wales: "What's really important is that the aspirations of the people of Wales are satisfied and I can well see that aspiration and ambition increasing for Wales, and we're a government who wants to see that aspiration met.
"I'm open minded about tax powers in Wales... Scotland makes the case for looking at the issue again."
At a press conference, Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said the status quo was "not an option".
"The prime minister has reaffirmed to rebalancing power - action must now follow words," she said.
"We know Scotland will be offered new powers. It would be unthinkable and unacceptable for powers for Scotland but a second rate bill for Wales.
"We cannot continue to play catch up."
Kirsty Williams, Welsh Liberal Democrats leader, agreed that the current situation could not continue.
"I was always very, very clear that whatever the results, the status quo was not an option and there was an opportunity for profound constitutional change, and rebalancing here within the United Kingdom," she said.
"What's crucial for me is that Wales plays a central part in that, that we're not forgotten and that we can move forward to see the creation of a proper Welsh parliament and the long-cherished liberal goal of home rule for Wales."
Carwyn Jones speech - the highlights
ANALYSIS by BBC Wales parliamentary correspondent David Cornock
Welsh politicians in Westminster and Cardiff Bay are worried Wales will end up playing second fiddle and that the fall out from the Scottish referendum becomes an Anglo-Scottish question.
A lot of work went into David Cameron's statement to make sure he talked about the 'family of nations' across the UK but there wasn't an awful lot of detail.
There was talk about putting Wales at the heart of the debate.
But what we do know is that Scotland now has a cast-iron guarantee that its generous funding settlement will be protected. But that is a formula which the political consensus in Wales says short changes Wales.
We're waiting for commitments from any UK party to deliver on that.
Mr Cameron has set a very tight timetable. He wants draft new laws for Scotland early next year as well as a timetable for giving English MPs more of a say over English issues.
But there is a general election coming up next May and that is the key date for all parties.
After an uneventful first 40 minutes, Mawson took too much time on the ball in a dangerous area and Etienne Capoue, on his return from injury, nicked the ball off the young defender and fired home at the second time of asking.
Swans captain Gylfi Sigurdsson strolled through the Watford defence right at the death but gave Heurelho Gomes an easy save as his side fell to their sixth straight away defeat. Their only consolation is that relegation rivals Hull were well beaten at Stoke.
Swansea, now winless in six Premier League games, face a continued battle to survive, but Walter Mazzarri's Watford look to have earned another season of Premier League football.
Sigurdsson was once again the bright spark for Swansea and had their best chance of the first half, but his effort was turned away by Gomes at his left post.
Watford captain Troy Deeney, reinstated to the starting XI after he was dropped to the bench for their 4-0 loss to Tottenham, could have put his side ahead but his first-time shot was tipped over the bar by Swans keeper Lukasz Fabianski.
The game looked to be winding down to half-time when centre-back Mawson hesitated in a dangerous area and, as he turned to send the ball back to Fabianksi, Capoue stormed in.
The Watford midfielder's first shot was blocked by Swansea keeper Fabianksi, but his rebound found the target as Swansea looked stunned.
The second half offered very little, but Watford's defence, which has been leaky of late, looked far more assured with Sebastian Prodl back in the mix and they held on to take all three points.
Paul Clement took over from Bob Bradley as Swansea manager in January and saw an initial upturn in form after his appointment - he won three of his first four games in charge.
And his side were five points clear of the bottom three at the start of March.

But a horror run of just one point from six games has seen them slide back into the relegation zone - a stalemate with Middlesbrough is all Clement's men have to show for their efforts in recent weeks.
Swansea have five games left to secure their top-flight survival and extend their six-year run in the Premier League.
It looks increasingly like it could be a straight shootout with Hull City, who sit just two points above them having lost 3-1 at Stoke on Saturday.
But of the two, Swansea look to have the trickier fixtures, with next week's home game against Stoke probably one they have to win.
Watford manager Walter Mazzarri's fears of a slide down the table towards the end of the season will have been eased by his side's third home win in a row.
And the three points, which keep Watford 10th in the the table, will also have delighted the club's somewhat over-zealous owners.
The Pozzo family completed a takeover of the club back in 2012 - and have sacked seven managers in their time in charge.
Wanting to improve on a disappointing end to the 2015-16 season, they let manager Quique Sanchez Flores go with the club in 13th place - and his predecessor's fate will surely be at the forefront of Mazzarri's mind.
The Italian has faced criticism this season over his grasp of the English language and coaching techniques.
But his side, who have been plagued by injuries in recent weeks, were buoyed by the return of Capoue and ground out a tough victory.
They can start preparing for life in the Premier League next season - a campaign Mazzarri plans on being a part of.
Former Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard: "I understand if Paul Clement seemed downcast at full-time. It was disappointing from Swansea's perspective - the one thing you expect as a manager is effort and a desire to get out of the situation they are in. That was slightly lacking from the start today.
Swansea were short in their energy and what they put into the game. It's a confidence issue - they are on a bad run and gave sloppy balls away throughout the game.
"It looks like a straight fight now between Swansea and Hull for that last relegation position. I watched Hull today and they are a team creating chances. You can see that they have some momentum."
Watford manager Walter Mazzarri:
"We knew it was going to be a very tough game. We could have killed the game off but we didn't and we had to suffer until the end.
"It is normal that when a new manager comes, he has to give his identity to the team and it takes a bit of time. Now the squad are playing good football.
"Until the numbers say we are safe, we are not. I don't want my players to relax and I want to play with the same formation in order to get ready for next season."
Swansea boss Paul Clement:
"I think we did enough defensively. The goal has come for an individual error and Alfie [Mawson] knew that straight away. It's a big mistake.

"Offensively we got the ball into some good areas but we were missing a clinical edge in the final third. That for me was the difference.
"We had over 45 minutes to try and get out of that situation but we couldn't get the breakthrough.
"Hull not winning today keeps things the same but for me it's a missed opportunity not to get a point today.
"The next one is a must-win game for us. It's the biggest game the club has had in years.
"We will probably need three wins out of the last five to stay up. And I'm not even sure that would be enough."
Swansea are at home to Stoke, while Watford host the Swans' relegation rivals Hull - both games are next Saturday and 15:00 BST kick-offs.

Leanne Maguire's daughter Sophie died in Great Ormond Street Hospital in London two years ago.
The family said they have been told they do not qualify for legal aid because their daughter died in London.
A spokesperson for the hospital did not want to comment while an investigation is taking place.
The findings of the chief coroner for England and Wales are due to be presented at an inquest in July.
Sophie Maguire was transferred from Derry's Altnagelvin Hospital to England after her birth but died days after surgery in April 2013.
She suffered from a rare health condition called VGM, or vein of Galen malformation, which affects blood flow to the brain.
Sophie underwent a brain operation at Great Ormond Street Hospital but there were complications after the surgery and she failed to recover.
The family received a letter from the chief coroner of England and Wales in September last year, informing them that an investigation into Sophie's death had been ordered.
Leanne Maguire told BBC Radio Foyle that the legal, transport and accommodation costs of the inquest will fall upon the family.
"It's out of our Jurisdiction so everything has to be paid by us. Apparently we were supposed to be part of the UK, but when it comes down to stuff like this we don't qualify.
"It's awful, it's really stressful on the family because we're worried from one day to the next as to where we are going to get this money because we need our answers."
She added: " If it happened here in Derry or we had to go to Belfast then legal aid would have covered everything for us, but because it's across the water, over in London, then we have to pay for absolutely everything."
Ms Maguire said that the inquest could have been prevented had a post-mortem examination taken place.
"It could cost up to nearly £8,000 and that's just a rough estimate.
"It will be money well spent so that we could actually grieve and even tell Katie how her baby sister actually died," she added.
A spokesperson for Great Ormond Street said: "Providing the best patient care in a safe environment is the trust's number one priority and we take all concerns around the care we provide extremely seriously.
"However, at this time, whilst we understand an investigation is taking place, we do not feel it appropriate to comment on this patient's care." | A man has been charged with the murder of a woman found stabbed to death in the New Forest.

Police said Leonard Robinson's car had broken down in the fast lane of a major highway when the incident occurred.
He was struck by his own "Batmobile" after another car careered into it.
Robinson, 51, rose to fame in 2012, when a video went viral of him being pulled over by police because his car had invalid number plates.
Known as the "Route 29 Batman", Robinson had spent the last 14 years visiting sick children in hospital and handing out Batman paraphernalia in full superhero dress.
According to the Washington Post, he sold his commercial cleaning business to help fund his "Batmobile" - a black Lamborghini. The paper said he spent more than $25,000 (£16,000) of his own money on Batman toys, T-shirts and books to give to children.
"I'm just doing it for the kids," Robinson told the paper in a profile of him from 2012.
He also drove a replica of the car from the 1960s Batman TV show, which he went on to use to visit children in hospitals across the country.
His son would occasionally join him on hospital visits dressed as Batman's sidekick, Robin.
Robinson was never charged in the 2012 incident that thrust him into the public spotlight, telling police he was on his way to cheer up children at a cancer ward in a nearby hospital.
Montgomery County police department, to which the officers belonged, said it was "saddened by the news" of his death.
"The footage depicted a positive and humorous interaction between officers and Robinson. It was evident that the officers and Robinson had a mutual respect for each other and the job that each was trying to accomplish that day," it said in a statement.
A number of people have paid tribute to him on Twitter, including the Bowie Baysox - a minor league Baseball team in Maryland - which said: "The Baysox offer heartfelt condolences to Lenny Robinson's family. He appeared as Batman at the Baysox several times."
According to the Washington Post, he was returning from a car show in Virginia when the incident occurred.

The rogue National Park Service account @AltNatParkSer has attracted even more people, with more than a million followers after less than 300 tweets.
There are also rogue accounts for the US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
They use similar phrases such as "resistance" to describe themselves and post a mixture of scientific information and attacks on Mr Trump.
Some of those running the other alternative accounts also claimed to be disgruntled government agency workers, at least going by their tweets.
The @AltNatParkSer account tweeted on Tuesday that they were "being run by several active NPS rangers and friends".
However, on Thursday they said they were handing over to a different group of people - activists and journalists who were former scientists.
On Tuesday the official account of Badlands National Park in South Dakota started tweeting about global warming, but those posts were later deleted.

Francis Green, 32, arrived at the Asda carpark in Robroyston shortly after Mr Carroll was killed on 13 January 2010.
He said he took the phone as it was ringing to check if it was his sister, who was Mr Carroll's girlfriend.
Mr Green was giving evidence at the trial of William Paterson, 35, who denies murdering Mr Carroll, 29.
Mr Green, a car valeter from Milton, told the High Court in Glasgow he had been friends with Mr Carroll for 15 years.
He said his sister was the victim's boyfriend and that he had spoken to him earlier on the day he was killed.
In evidence, he said a man named Stephen McLaggan phoned him after the shooting.
Mr Green told the jury: "He (McLaggan) said Gerbil had been shot."
Asked why Mr McLaggan would phone him, the witness said: "He was my sister's boyfriend."
Mr Green was asked if he was "in charge" of Mr McLaggan and John Bonner, who had been in the car with Mr Carroll seconds before the shooting, but fled. Mr Green said that he was not.
He was asked if he took a phone from Mr Carroll after seeing that he was dead and said "yes".
The jury was told Mr Green answered the phone and then kept hold of it.
He denied the suggestion that it was to stop it falling into the hands of the police.
Mr Green told the court that he took his own sim cards out of his phones and snapped them up and "chewed them in to wee bits".
Asked why he did that, he said: "I had something in my phone I didn't want anybody to get. Unrelated to the matter."
Earlier, the trial heard from Emma Busby, 35, who was in the carpark at the time of the shooting.
She described seeing one man with a "Clint Eastwood western-style gun" and hearing eight to 10 shots being fired.
She told the jury she was "hysterical" when she went back inside the supermarket, adding: "I went in to the chemist and sat down and was sick."
Asda manager Steven McKenna, 49, told the jury he saw the incident unfold from an upstairs office.
He described the Audi, where Mr Carroll was, being blocked in by another car and two men, from the passenger and driver side, getting out with guns.
The court heard he watched "shocked" and "motionless" but then activated a nearby panic alarm and phoned the emergency services as he made his way down to the car park.
Mr Paterson denies the charges and is incriminating six other people.
He has lodged a special defence of alibi claiming he was at an address in Cumbernauld on the day of the shooting.
The trial before judge Lord Armstrong continues.
After spending the first year of his life in Jamaica, Lindsay moved to the UK with his mother in 1986.
The family settled in Huddersfield in West Yorkshire - thought to be the place where Lindsay met fellow bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan.
His home life was not stable. His natural father remained in Jamaica and appears to have played little role in his life. His mother moved in with another man, who was a harsh stepfather to Lindsay.
By 1990, that relationship dissolved and Lindsay's mother moved in with another man.
Lindsay was much closer to his second stepfather, who remained with the family until 2000.
The year 2000 represented a watershed in Lindsay's life - as both he and his mother converted to Islam. He took the name Jamal.
In Islamic groups around Huddersfield and Dewsbury, he was admired for the speed with which he achieved fluency in Arabic and memorised long passages of the Koran, showing unusual maturity and seriousness.
But at around the same time, he started to associate with troublemakers and was disciplined at school for handing out leaflets in support of al-Qaeda.
Lindsay was influenced by an extremist preacher, Abdallah al-Faisal, a fellow Jamaican, who was jailed in 2003 for soliciting murder and race hate.
But before al-Faisal was jailed, his mother decided to move to the US to live with another man, leaving Lindsay alone at the family home in Huddersfield.
He left school, lived on benefits, and did odd jobs selling mobile phones and Islamic books.
He married Samantha Lewthwaite, a white British convert to Islam whom he had met on the internet and later at a Stop the War march in London, on 30 October 2002.
They lived initially in Huddersfield but moved to Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, where his wife's family lived, in September 2003. Six months later, their first child was born.
While in Aylesbury, Lindsay worked as a carpet-fitter, a job he had obtained with the help of his brother-in-law, although he was later sacked.
In September 2004, he rented a house close to Mohammad Sidique Khan in Dewsbury.
Since the bombings, more evidence has emerged about Lindsay's extremist views, violence and criminal activities. School friends reported his racial hatred towards Jews, and in late 2004 he assaulted his wife.
The inquests also heard that Lindsay was linked to a suspected armed robbery in Bedfordshire weeks before the bombings - and although his car was linked to the scene, the lead was never fully followed up.
In the weeks leading up to the bombings, Lindsay attempted to date an Aylesbury woman, Nicki Blackmore. At first, she did not know what to make of him - but on the second meeting, things took a turn for the worse.
"He asked me if I could get hold of a gun for him," she said in a statement read at the inquests. "He did not mention any type of gun. I told him no and asked him why he would need a gun. He told me that he was going to London with some of his mates to teach some people a lesson. He said it was to do with drugs."
He read her al-Qaeda poems and later suggested she stayed with him in London on the evening of 6 July.
Ms Blackmore was afraid and turned him down. She let him down gently by suggesting they meet a little over a week later on her birthday.
Lindsay replied: "I might be around then, but then again I might not."
The next day he boarded a Piccadilly Line train at King's Cross. Shortly afterwards, he detonated his bomb, killing himself and 26 others and injuring more than 340.
Samantha Lewthwaite gave birth to his second child after the bombings.
The papers, from an investigation into a BAE Systems deal, contained evidence relating to 64 people.
They were wrongly sent to a witness in the case in an "astounding" lapse, the Information Commissioner's Office said.
The SFO said it had "substantially overhauled its procedures".
It is the first time the SFO has been fined by the UK's privacy regulator.
The documents - including bank statements, hospital invoices and passport details - related to the SFO's investigation into allegations that executives at BAE received payments as part of an arms deal with Saudi Arabia.
The al-Yamamah deal involved the sale of tens of billions of pounds worth of arms by BAE to Saudi Arabia, beginning in the 1980s and ending in 2006 with the sale of 72 Typhoon fighter jets.
Allegations of corruption and bribery led to an SFO investigation in 2004 but it was closed in 2006 on grounds of public interest, amid concerns that relations with Saudi Arabia were being harmed.
After it was closed, the SFO sent more than 2,000 bags of evidence to "Witness A" between November 2011 and February 2013.
It was later discovered that a "relatively inexperienced" temporary worker had mistakenly sent 407 of the bags belonging to 64 people to the witness, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said.
Despite the witness contacting the SFO to say he had wrongly received some evidence in November 2011, the SFO sent him more in May 2012, the regulator added.
This was despite the witness's concerns being raised at a "senior level".
The breach was likely to have caused "substantial distress" to witnesses, the ICO said, as there was evidence some of the information was disclosed to a national newspaper and "possibly disseminated overseas".
The SFO began investigating the breach after details were requested in response to a parliamentary question in June 2013.
At that time Labour MP Emily Thornberry told Parliament the documents had been found in a storage facility which was also being used as a cannabis farm in east London.
People will be "quite rightly shocked" the SFO failed to keep the information of so many individuals secure, ICO deputy commissioner David Smith said.
"Given how high-profile this case was - and how sensitive the evidence being returned to witnesses potentially was - it is astounding that the SFO got this wrong," he said.
The SFO has since recovered 98% of the documents and taken action to ensure adequate security checks, the ICO said.
A SFO spokeswoman said the fine was "expected", adding: "The SFO took immediate action to recover the data and, following two independent reviews, substantially overhauled its procedures to ensure this mistake could not be made again."
The boy, thought to be aged in his mid-teens, was discovered by police in Roebourne Way, North Woolwich, on Friday at about 22:45 BST.
He was treated by paramedics but was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other victim was taken to hospital after being found in nearby Claremont Close. Police said his injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
No arrests have been made.
Scotland Yard said they were in the process of informing the teenager's next of kin and a post-mortem examination would take place "in due course".
Graham Short, from Birmingham, carried out the engraving to mark the Jubilee celebrations later this year.
He said it took 90 attempts over nine months to engrave the portrait on the 2mm wide pin.
To carry out the intricate work, he said he had courses of Botox around his eyes to keep them "rigid" as well as taking tablets to slow his heart rate.
Other minute work he has completed includes engraving the entire Lord's Prayer on a pinhead and the first chapter of the Koran on a 2mm platinum pin.
He said he swims 10,000m a day to achieve a "low resting pulse rate" and to be "perfectly still" when working under a powerful microscope.
He also does his etching between midnight and 05:00 to avoid any traffic vibrations.
He said: "I have a course of Botox around my eyes every now and then just to make sure my eyes are rigid.
"I'm so used to it. It doesn't seem different to me.
"It's only when I tell people, it doesn't sound like a proper job."
Mr Short, who lives in Bournville and has had an engraving business in the Jewellery Quarter area of Birmingham since 1974, hopes his latest work will go on display.
Cook was run out in bizarre fashion on 190 as he moved to avoid Virat Kohli's throw before making his ground.
The captain had earlier shared a stand of 173 with Jonathan Trott (87), while Kevin Pietersen added a belligerent 54.
And, with Matt Prior and Graeme Swann adding an unbroken stand of 56, England closed on 509-6, a lead of 193.
"England haven't got quite as many runs as I would have liked but if the lead is 200-odd it may tempt India to go for it a bit more. If they are positive, it opens up a channel for England because they may give us a bit more chance of getting them out. There are plenty of runs around but if the odd ball turns you can take wickets. If England bowl like they did in the first innings, they have a very good chance of winning."
The late flurry pushed England towards a position from which they can earn a 2-1 lead in the four-match series and potentially secure a first victory in India since 1985.
The swift progress of the seventh-wicket pair was also in contrast to the rest of the day, as India's bowlers stuck to their task well to prevent the tourists accelerating away in the opening two sessions.
However, on a pitch that remains good for batting despite increasing signs of turn and uneven bounce, wickets were usually only the result of batsman error and England will want further runs to be added by Prior on the fourth morning to feel confident of not facing a tricky final-innings chase.
The wicketkeeper was characteristically busy at the crease to punish a tiring India attack, building on the platform set by Cook and Trott earlier in the day.
With England resuming on 216-1, the second-wicket pair made steady progress through the morning session, seeing off the new ball in the process.
Cook, who had scored an England record 23rd Test century on day two, was less fluent on his return and was reprieved on 152 when Ishant Sharma put down the simplest of return catches.
Trott had struggled in the first two Tests of the series but showed more authority than his captain, driving in front of square on both sides of the wicket and regularly sweeping the spinners.
It was, however, the Warwickshire man who was first to go, getting a thick edge when left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha found some sharp turn, with wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni taking a good catch.
With India seemingly now out of ideas on how to dismiss Cook as he approached 550 runs for the series, the home side eventually removed the visiting skipper in the most unusual way.
Returning to the non-striker's end as Kohli fielded off Pietersen at square leg, Cook took action to avoid a shy at the stumps before grounding his bat.
However, the throw hit directly with Cook still short of the crease and, after the umpires consulted, he was given run out for the first time in his first-class career.
That was Pietersen's cue to accelerate either side of tea - dancing to strike Ojha for a straight six before the break and hitting the same bowler for three successive fours afterwards.
Ian Bell tried to match his partner's intent, but was caught behind wafting at Sharma, with Pietersen then falling lbw as he attempted to sweep Ravichandran Ashwin.
After Samit Patel's breezy 33 was ended by an edge to slip off Ojha, India may have had hopes of running through an England tail elongated by the absence of Stuart Broad.
But Prior, sweeping and cutting, raced to 40 in a 46-ball stay that included an imperious pull for a maximum off Sharma.
And, in tandem with Swann, he took advantage of some weary bowling to push England's lead towards 200.

Known as MyShake, it can sense an earthquake even when the cell device is being carried in a pocket or a bag.
The researchers want users to download the app, in the first instance, to help test and improve its capabilities.
But ultimately the idea is that recruited phones will be part of a network that not only gathers data but also issues alerts.
Destructive ground motions take time to move out from the epicentre of a large tremor, meaning people at more distant locations could receive several seconds' vital warning on their phones.
"Just a few seconds' warning is all you need to 'drop, take cover and hold on'," said Prof Richard Allen from the UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory.
"Based on what social scientists have told us about past earthquakes, if everyone got under a sturdy table, the estimate is that we could reduce the number of injuries in a quake by 50%," he told BBC News.
Prof Allen has a paper about MyShake in this week's Science Advances journal, but he has also been demonstrating it here in Washington DC at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The app relies on a sophisticated algorithm to analyse all the different vibrations picked up by a phone's onboard accelerometer.
This algorithm has been "trained" to distinguish between everyday human motions and those specific to an earthquake.
The achieved sensitivity is for a Magnitude 5 event at a distance of 10km (6.2 miles) from the epicentre.
In simulations, the app detects a quake correctly in 93% of cases.
All this is done in the background - much like health apps that monitor the fitness activity of the phone user.
Once triggered, MyShake sends a message to a central server over the mobile network. The hub then calculates the location and size of the quake.
False positives are filtered out because the server is connected to existing seismic and GPS monitoring stations, and - if the public take up MyShake - thousands of other phones.
"We took the data from our traditional network gathered during the 2014 La Habra earthquake near Los Angeles, and downgraded its quality to something similar to what might be recorded on your smartphone, and then we applied the MyShake algorithm blindly to that data," Prof Allen explained.
"The system triggered rapidly and accurately, and that's really given us the confidence to now take MyShake out to the public for its big, real test."
For this release, MyShake is available for Android devices; an iOS version is very likely to come in the future. And to be clear, enrolled phones will not be receiving alerts of earthquakes - not yet.
Prof Allen is a leading figure behind ShakeAlert, the earthquake early warning system now in development for California.
Only a few such systems exist in the world.
They work on the principle of being able to detect the faster-moving but not-so-damaging P-waves in a seismic event ahead of its S-waves, which cause most destruction.
California has several hundred state-of-the art seismic stations in the ShakeAlert system, and during the 2014 South Napa earthquake an eight-second warning of shaking was delivered to trial participants in downtown San Francisco. This included the city's metro system, BART, which wants to be able to slow its trains ahead of the biggest tremors.
The phones enrolled to MyShake would eventually get such warnings as well (see this dramatisation).
"The MyShake approach can contribute to and enhance earthquake monitoring in those parts of the world that have traditional seismic networks, like California. But perhaps even more importantly, because we can do a lot of this 'in the cloud', MyShake could help provide earthquake early warning in locations that have no traditional seismic network - places such as Nepal or India where we get very damaging earthquakes."

But Victorino Chua, 49, told a jury at Manchester Crown Court the suggestion was untrue.
The Filipino father-of-two denies murdering three patients and poisoning 18 others at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport, in June and July of 2011.
Earlier this week a 13-page handwritten letter was read to the court.
Peter Wright QC, prosecuting, returned repeatedly to the letter as he cross-examined the defendant, citing the words Mr Chua had written in the "deeply personal" document, found by police at the nurse's home after his arrest for murder.
Mr Chua, of Churchill Street, Stockport, said he wrote the letter after a counsellor suggested he use it as an "outlet" for his anger and frustration.
But Mr Wright suggested the reason why he wrote "if I go, I go straight to hell" was as an admission of guilt.
"The reason I suggest is because of what you had done and were prepared to do," the prosecutor said.
Mr Chua replied: "Like what?"
Mr Wright continued: "Like contaminating products in the hospital. Like altering the prescription charts of patients.
"Like administering insulin to patients who were not diabetic and non insulin dependent. Like these things, Mr Chua?"
The defendant replied: "No, that's not true."
Mr Chua said he was writing about "evil thoughts" not deeds.
The prosecution alleges Mr Chua used a hypodermic needle to puncture saline bags and ampoules and inject them with insulin between June 2011 and January 2012 and that they were used unwittingly by other nurses leading to a series of insulin overdoses and three deaths.
Mr Chua, is accused of killing Tracey Arden, 44, Arnold Lancaster, 71, and Alfred Weaver, 83,

"Today was tricky conditions and the first hour I wasn't able to play as well as wanted. After that I felt more confident," said Serb Djokovic, who has reached at least the semi-finals of every Grand Slam event since losing to Jurgen Melzer in the quarter-finals at the 2010 French Open.
His third-round opponent is Portugal's Joao Sousa, who overcame Finn Jarkko Nieminen in a five-set match lasting just short of three hours.
Sloane Stephens (US) [15] bt Jamie Hampton (US) [23] 6-1 6-3
Stephens, 20, will play Serena Williams in the last 16.
Stephens criticised Williams in a magazine interview in May, saying that their relationship had deteriorated since she beat her compatriot in the Australian Open quarter-finals.
But Stephens is now happy with how she and Williams get on. "I think that's all old news now and we've moved on," she said.
"We are competitors, we are co-workers so it is definitely tough, but I think now we are in a good place," she told ESPN.
Lleyton Hewitt (Aus) bt Juan Martin Del Potro (Arg) [6] 6-4 5-7 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-1
Hewitt, who lifted the 2001 US Open title as a 20-year-old, beat world number six Del Potro in their most recent meeting at Queen's in June.
"I don't know how many years I have left to play and I was hankering to get out on this court again and put on a show," Hewitt said.
"A couple of years ago, I had a few foot surgeries and I didn't know if I would ever play tennis again. But it's a hell of a lot of fun coming out to play and I cherish every match."
Del Potro, who hit 70 errors in the match, stated after the match that a long-standing wrist complaint was "not the way I'd like".
Hewitt will play Russian world number 102 Evgeny Donskoy in the last 32.
"I hit with him a couple of days ago,'' Hewitt said of his third-round opponent. "First time I'd ever seen him.''
Serena Williams (US) [1] bt Yaroslava Shvedova (Kaz) 6-3 6-1
Williams, 31, is aiming to become the oldest US Open women's champion by winning her fifth title at Flushing Meadows.
She praised Stephens' play ahead of their keenly-anticipated fourth-round encounter.
"It's going to be tough, Sloane is playing so well," she said.
"I'm always so happy for her. She's doing great. I'm really proud of Sloane. It's going to be a really good match."
Agnieszka Radwanska (Pol) [3] bt Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (Rus [32] 6-4 7-6 (7-1)
It might have been a straight-sets win for third seed Radwanska, but the 2012 Wimbledon runner-up needed nearly two hours to beat Pavlyuchenkova.
If she wins her next match, against Russian 24th seed Ekaterina Makarova, Radwanska will become the only woman to reach the last eight at all four Grand Slams this year.
Tomas Berdych (Cze) [5] bt Denis Kudla (US) 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-3) 6-3

Tommy Haas (Ger) [12] bt Yen-Hsun Lu (Tai) 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-3)
"It's always about being smart, about how you train and what you do off the court," said the German of still competing at the age of 35. "If your body allows you to do all that stuff, then it's really up to you in many ways."
Ekaterina Makarova (Rus) [24] bt Sabine Lisicki (Ger) [16] 6-4 7-5
Lisicki, who beat Serena Williams en route to the Wimbledon final earlier this year, is still yet to get beyond the fourth round in any of the other three Grand Slams.
Florian Mayer (Ger) bt Donald Young (US) 7-5 6-3 6-4
Mayer came out on top in a match that saw 10 breaks of serve, setting up a third-round clash with defending champion Andy Murray.

Sara Errani & Roberta Vinci [1] bt Daniela Hantuchova & Martina Hingis 6-3 7-5
Hingis, who was making a return to Grand Slam tennis as a wildcard after retiring in 2007, double-faulted on the final two points of the match.
The 32-year-old, who has won five Grand Slam singles titles during her career, also lost in the mixed doubles. She and India's Mahesh Bhupathi were beaten 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-5) by Sweden's Robert Lindstedt and Taiwan's Chan Yung-Jan.
"God, give me a break," said the Swiss, when asked if she had considered making a singles comeback after her doubles return.
"No, I haven't given any more thought to it. I have a hard time covering half the court and trying to be there. Full court is completely different ball game."

Laura Robson had a worried look on her face after defeat by Li Na, and it was down to an imminent trip to the dentist to have her wisdom teeth removed. "All the other girls in the locker room are telling me their horror stories," she said. "Oh yeah, I pulled my gauze out and it was just blood. So that's not too nice."
Novak Djokovic has been quizzed as much about his diet as his tennis in week one, and day five was no exception. "The toughest for me [to give up] was definitely chocolate. My father is addicted to chocolate in a way. Was. Not any more. During events I don't have milk chocolate. If I have chocolate I have cacao or dark chocolate - a very little bit."
Li Na is struggling to believe the quality of her own serving, after 11 aces against Laura Robson took her to 21 for the tournament - more than any other woman. "After the match my team said I had over 10, I said 'No like eight or something', my husband said, 'I think even less, maybe six.'"
Sloane Stephens has plenty of confidence off court as well as on. "It's tough to have friends on tour, but I don't lack in the social department. I have some good friends. That's not an area that I struggle in."
"Belgium is a very good team," says Andy Murray when asked to give his opinion about the Scottish football team's next World Cup opponents. "A lot of good, young players. I think they're kind of sort of dark horses for the World Cup. I think they're very, very good. I wouldn't expect Scotland to beat them."
"Everybody has their own issues," says Jamie Hampton when asked about the psychology of tennis. "The girls differ from the guys. Girls are a little bit more emotional. We'll just leave it at that."
Howard Gayle, 58, was born in Toxteth and made his Reds debut in 1977.
He said he had to decline the nomination, for his Show Racism the Red Card campaign work, as his ancestors would be "turning in their graves".
The Cabinet Office said it did not comment on individual cases.
The former footballer wrote on Facebook: "Most of you who are on my FB page are aware of the work that I do tackling racism and the work I do for Show Racism A Red Card. And for that work yesterday I was nominated for a MBE."
He added: "Which unfortunately I had to decline the nomination for the reason that my ancestors would be turning in their graves after how Empire and Colonialism had enslaved them.
"This is a decision that I have had to make and there will be others who may feel different and would enjoy the attraction of being a Member of the British Empire and those 3 letters after their name, but I feel that It would be a betrayal to all of the Africans who have lost their lives, or who have suffered as a result of Empire."
As well as representing England at Under-21 level, Gayle played for Blackburn Rovers, Fulham, Birmingham City, Halifax Town, Sunderland, Newcastle United and Stoke City.
Facebook users reacted to the post, saying "respect" and calling the former Liverpool star a man of principle.
Paul Al-Naqib wrote: "So sad that a history of oppression can still have a negative effect today... years after.
"You are a good honest man... many crumble and forget their morals when presented with their pieces of silver. You'll always be Sir Howard Gayle of Tocky to me."
Kenny Norton added: "You don't need an MBE to be the person you are. Well done Howard."
Kevin Edgar wrote: "Takes a lot of mental strength and self belief that Howard. Standing up for what you believe has real dignity too."

Fans who buy a ticket before the end of May will receive 25% of their money back if the club sell less than 15,000 tickets by the end of July or 50% if they sell more than that amount.
Leeds have not finished in the top six of the second tier since 2006.
The Elland Road side can not finish in the play-off places this season.
The club said in a statement: "We are more determined than ever to gain promotion from the Championship and are fully committed to doing everything we can to return this great club to the Premier League in 2016-17.
"With the full support of our fans, we believe we can achieve this goal next season."
Leeds have not played in the top tier of English football since relegation from the Premier League in 2004.
Head coach Steve Evans said on Monday that he believed he was the right man to lead the club back to the top division.
Scot Higgins, 19, started his youth career at Celtic before moving to Dens Park and made four appearances for Dundee last season.
Former Republish of Ireland Under-21 player Power, 29, leaves English League Two club Lincoln City, where he made over 250 league appearances.
Both players have agreed two-year contracts with the Rugby Park club, with Power's move subject to clearance.
"It feels good to be here, as it's a club that's definitely going in the right direction," Higgins told Kilmarnock's website.
Manager Lee McCulloch said Higgins fits Kilmarnock's philosophy of developing young players.
"He came through Celtic's academy, which has seen many impressive young players come through," said McCulloch.
"For the second half of last season he gained experience at Dundee and through time will only get better, which is only a good thing for this club."
And Power said: "I've heard a lot about the town and the club's history and I can't wait to get started. The manager spoke about his visions for this club and it was an easy decision to make."
McCulloch said he watch Lincoln's run to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup last season and said of Power: "Alan played in all of those games and was the cub captain.
"He has an aggressive style of play, has a hunger to get better, and has great experience that he can pass on to the younger kids."
Kilmarnock begin their league campaign at home to St Johnstone on 5 August.

Kirsty Williams spoke out despite comments backing the idea from Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander.
Mr Alexander, a Liberal Democrat, said he was "keen to see local, market-facing pay introduced across the UK".
His comments came in a letter to First Minister Carwyn Jones released under the Freedom of Information Act.
But Ms Williams said: "We are strongly and firmly opposed to the introduction of regional pay in Wales.
"Welsh Liberal Democrats do not believe that regional pay will stimulate the local economy; in fact the introduction of regional pay would be disastrous for Welsh workers and the Welsh economy."
She said Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Business Secretary Vince Cable had spoken out against the idea of regional pay.
"I have been lobbying the UK government to stop the introduction of regional pay and I will continue to put pressure on them so that regional pay is not introduced," said Ms Williams.
All parties in the assembly, including the Welsh Conservatives, have
expressed concern
at the idea of differential pay rates around the UK.
In his Budget in March, Chancellor George Osborne said local factors, such as the cost of living and private sector pay rates, should be taken into account in future when awarding salaries.
Mr Clegg said last month that no decision had been made.
Bergdich has joined from Spanish side Real Valladolid for an undisclosed fee and has signed a four-year deal with the Championship club.
The left-back, 26, spent the second half of last season on loan at Genoa.
Ceballos, 22, was a free agent after his release by Tottenham earlier this summer and has agreed a three-year deal at The Valley.
The Spaniard did not feature for Spurs after joining from Barcelona in the summer of 2011 but spent the 2013-14 season on loan with Portuguese Primeira Liga side Arouca.
Bergdich, who spent three years with Lens before moving to Valladolid in 2013, has won 17 caps for Morocco.
"Cristian is a very technical player, who has a lot of quality and skill," Addicks boss Guy Luzon told the club website.
"We identified Zakarya as a player who possesses a lot of pace on the left side of the pitch."
The duo become Charlton's fifth and sixth signings of the summer, following the arrivals of Patrick Bauer, El Hadji Ba, Simon Makienok and Ahmed Kashi.

The National League side need the money after signing a 99-year lease to regain control of the Racecourse Stadium home.
But Bircham has denied that finances will impact on their on field goals.
"We've secured Gary's budget. The first thing we do is get that sorted. We've protected that, we've ring fenced that. Bircham told BBC Wales Sport.
He continued, "It's a budget that's competitive. It starts at the same level as last year then we work on the same principle.
"If Gary takes us beyond budgeted games, in other words the FA Cup or FA Trophy or whatever means of income he may secure like the transfer of a player, we'll then be in a position to offer him more.
"I want to reassure the fans that we have a competitive budget. Our target will always be promotion, or at least the playoffs. Gary's well aware of that target and that target stands."
Wrexham missed out on the National League play-offs in Mills' first season in charge and next season will be their ninth year outside of the Football League.
The club have so far made seven signings this summer, including the return of defender Martin Riley from Tranmere Rovers.
Mills is keen to add further new faces before the start of the campaign in August and is still awaiting news on contract offers to existing squad members Connor Jennings and Simon Heslop.
Wrexham are instead hoping to plug the gap in finances with a rise in season ticket prices, the first rise in four years, and are currently on track with sales.
"There is a shortfall that we need to balance this year and that figure we've talked to the fans about that," Bircham added.
"It's around £200,000 and we need their support with that. But moving forward it will bring great commercial streams that will benefit the football club.
"It also brings big responsibilities, significantly heavier work load, but it's wonderful to have an asset particularly our great stadium which is so historic and means so much to the fans.
"We'll see great benefits towards the end of next season."
The Welsh region are level with Exeter at the top of Pool Two after their 19-16 home win over the French side.
But Ospreys struggled to subdue Bordeaux, who were reduced to 14 men for most of the second half.
"Potentially you could say it was indifferent at certain points of the game," admitted 30-year-old Jones.
"There were a lot of unforced errors early on and we probably tried a bit too hard at certain times, two things we can control."
The Bordeaux trip on Saturday falls at a crucial time of the season for Ospreys.
They follow that match with a trip to neighbours and Pro12 leaders the Scarlets on Boxing Day, before hosting Newport Gwent Dragons on New Year's Day.
"It's the business turning point of the season," added Jones, speaking during an Ospreys squad visit to Swansea's Morriston Hospital.
"When we go into the New Year, we'll see where we end up off the back of the Christmas derbies and going into the final rounds of the Champions Cup.
"It's a tough turn of the year, but hopefully it can set us up for the back side of the season."
Flanker Justin Tipuric added: "We've started the month off well but it gets harder and harder now.
"We've got to go away to Bordeaux, the best-supported team in France and try to get a result."
Jones and Tipuric were part of an Ospreys contingent handing out presents and posing for photos on the children's ward at Morriston Hospital, while other members of the squad were at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend.
"There are a lot of boys in the squad that want to do it, we've got a lot of fathers in the squad," said Jones.
"It's nice to get round and see people to try to put smiles on faces, to give out Santa hats and gifts.
"It's not just to see the patients and give them a smile and help them on the road to recovery, but also the families, and the doctors and nurses who do a great job."
The tournament was set to replace the Champions Trophy, a one-day competition that was last held in 2009.
"I am disappointed it is not going to take place sooner," said International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Haroon Lorgat.
The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) described the announcement as "a setback for Test cricket".
The Test Championship, due to involve the top four teams in the ICC rankings, had been planned as a way of reviving international interest in the five-day format.
England currently lead the rankings, with South Africa second, India third and Australia in fourth.
Lorgat added that the proposed 2017 Championship, also scheduled to be held in England, would be "the first opportunity" to resurrect the tournament.
The delay comes because of a lack of "support and consent" from the ICC's broadcast partner.
England were originally awarded the 2013 Champions Trophy, which would have made way in the international cricket calendar for the Test Championship.
Lord's was set to be the venue for the final of Test Championship, but after missing out on welcoming the touring New Zealand team for a five-day game, the ground may only host one Test in 2013.
MCC head of cricket John Stephenson said: "The club's priority, given there will be a gap in the calendar in 2013, will be to secure the best possible major matches it can for Lord's to supplement the Australia Test and the New Zealand one-day international being played that year."
The picture, titled Misty Minster, beat more than 250 other entries to the international contest.
The competition for photographers with Down's syndrome was launched in partnership with the Shifting Perspectives project led by photographer Richard Bailey, one of this year's judges.
Alongside him were actress and writer Sally Phillips and GlaxoSmithKline's director of UK corporate contributions, Katie Pinnock.
When asked about his winning photo, Kenward said, "This is York Minster taken on a foggy, snowy morning. It is a mysterious, moody picture."
Joint second place was awarded to Emily Buck, with her photo The Old Tree, and Edward Phippen, with Sunrise, Gorges du Verdon.
Emily Buck said: "Me and my dad went walking one day and thought it would make a good picture with the blue sky in the background."
The winner took home a Canon EOS1200D and a canvas print of his winning image.
Here are some other entries that made the shortlist.

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

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

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

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

Nerijus Gudelevicius, 34, of Westlea, Swindon, enticed fellow Lithuanians to the UK and made them work long hours collecting charity clothing bags.
Police said he confiscated their passports, housed them in substandard conditions and paid them a pittance.
Gudelevicius was convicted of two charges of trafficking and jailed for two years at Salisbury Crown Court.
Judge Tim Mousley QC told Gudelevicius he made two people's lives "a compete misery" and "exploited them by deceiving them".
"They took your promises at face value. You exploited their ambition by a cruel but carefully planned deception," he said.
Det Supt Tom Straker from Wiltshire Police said the force was "extremely pleased" with the sentence, which "sends a clear message to those criminals who trade in human lives".
"Wiltshire Police will always treat human trafficking as a priority and vigorously investigate such incidents, along with our partners," he added. | Englishman Anthony Wall won the Paul Lawrie Match Play to claim his first European Tour title in 16 years.

Susan Rennie, 51, engineered 105 fraudulent payments into her personal account by doctoring company invoices, a court heard.
She used the stolen cash to pay off her son's £200,000 drug debt and spent the rest on holidays and cars.
Rennie pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position and was jailed for four-and-a-half years at Bolton Crown Court.
The mother-of-three, who had previous convictions for benefit fraud and theft from a previous employer, worked as a purchase ledger for IT provider Ascribe Ltd.
She moved to Lytham, Lancashire, while on a suspended sentence, and began working for the firm in 2007.
'Desperate addiction'
The fraud was uncovered after Rennie's resignation, when the firm realised profits were down and launched an investigation.
Passing sentence, Judge Graeme Smith said Rennie "appeared to have an addiction to taking money".
"Once discovered, the fraud was easily traced back to you - there was no attempt to cover your tracks," he said.
"You chose not to stop your offending but continued it up to the point of resignation, increasing the amount you took."
As a result of the fraud, the company was sold by Ascribe Ltd at a reduced rate, the court was told.

Brown, who guided Scotland to the Euro 96 finals and the World Cup in France two years later, believes the Scots can progress from Group D.
"I still feel we have a chance," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Off The Ball.
"I agree with Gordon that we didn't do enough to win the game [against Georgia] but we shouldn't have lost."
The loss in Tbilisi, coupled with Republic of Ireland's victory in Gibraltar, saw Scotland slip to fourth in the group.
With world champions Germany visiting Hampden on Monday, Gordon Strachan's side will be aiming to breathe new life into their qualification campaign.
After facing the Germans, Scotland also have a home game against Poland on 8 October, before finishing the group away to Gibraltar.
"Forty-eight hours ago I was coming onto this programme [Off The Ball] to eulogise to say how well Scotland were doing and how brilliant Gordon is," said Brown.
"I still feel he is and I still feel we have a chance.
"Being Scotland, having lost to what you might call a minnow team, we'll beat the world champions on Monday, then we'll beat Poland at home.
"The way we played against Germany and Poland [earlier in the Group D campaign] I don't think we need to be too pessimistic at all.
"There's great pessimism now and you know what it's like with the press: you're polarised and either brilliant or hopeless.
"This morning, I'm reading that we're 'hopeless' and 'abject failure' - things like that.
"But it wasn't as bad as they're making out. There wasn't a shot on goal, I admit that, but it's very difficult when they pull everybody back as they did."
Brown said he would not offer excuses for Scotland's display in Tbilisi, adding: "It wasn't a good performance.
"But I think they're rated 49th out of the 54 countries in Europe; so it's not a good result.
"I agree with Gordon that we didn't do enough to win the game but we shouldn't have lost. It was a perfect summing up of the situation.

Sports and music fans have been warned by Trading Standards teams to beware of fake tickets for sale this summer.
Major events, including Euro 2016 and music festivals, are expected to be targeted by fraudsters.
In 2015, £5.2m was lost by customers, police figures suggested - a 55% rise from the previous year.
Online ticket fraud revenue had been £3.35m in 2014, police said.
Targets for ticket fraud this year could also include Wembley concerts by Beyonce, Rihanna, Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen, music festivals such as Glastonbury, and sporting events including Wimbledon, according to the Local Government Association (LGA).
Cllr Simon Blackburn, chairman of the LGA's safer and stronger communities board, said criminals were faking tickets by using photocopiers, selling the same ticket "over and over again using a barcode which won't work when you get to the venue".
He said trading standards teams in England and Wales were cracking down on online ticket fraud, and called on social media sites to "do more to help prevent people being conned paying for tickets on their sites".
He warned people to be "very wary of ticket offers for 'sold out' events as these situations are exploited by criminals".
"Similarly, if the price seems too good to be true, it's likely to be a scam," he added.

In a sample of 3,000 reported ticket scams between May and October 2015, victims lost on average £444 per transaction, police found.
More than a quarter of fake tickets sold online in 2015 (26%) were for big sporting events such as the Rugby World Cup and Premier League football matches.
More than a fifth of ticket fraud (21%) was instigated via Facebook, with Gumtree accounting for 22% and Twitter 6%.
Last year, more than 200 concert-goers complained to Action Fraud after tickets purchased for shows including Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and AC/DC from an online ticket website failed to arrive.
Jonathan Brown from Star (the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers) told BBC Radio 5 live that people should use credit cards to buy tickets.
"I know it sounds boring, it's tedious and very often people feel like they're up against the clock," he said.
"But... take the time and do a bit of research, and pay with a credit card and protect yourself that way."
Mike Andrews, of the National Trading Standards eCrime Team, said criminals selling fake tickets online were becoming "more and more prevalent", and urged fans to be on guard.
People should report suspected cases to the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 03454 04 05 06, he said.

A spokesman said: "For other ticket categories, Gumtree complies with all UK laws on the resale of tickets, and includes safety advice prompts when you visit the tickets category, as well as preventative advice messaging on every advert.
"We also advise our users to always independently check the resale terms of the ticket issuer before buying, and encourage users to report ads they suspect are fraudulent."
Twitter said it prohibited the sale or promotion of counterfeit items on the site, and that it suspends accounts that violate its rules on such goods.

After a period of momentum from the hosts before the break, hopes of a Dragons comeback seemed to be extinguished in the last play of the first half, when Dorian Jones hit the crossbar with a penalty.
Despite being stunned by an influx of tries by Leinster in the second period, Matthew Screech crossed to keep the home fans entertained.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland confirmed that a man had been detained in connection with the incident.
Local area commander Ch Insp Mandy Paterson said: "Our inquiries into how the woman died are ongoing, and detectives and forensic officers are carrying out a thorough investigation at the scene.
"For this particularly quiet area within the community this will be an unsettling time, however, I can confirm that we currently have a man in police custody.
"I would ask residents to be patient with us while we carry out the necessary door-to-door inquiries and we are committed to returning the area to normality as soon as possible."
Bielsa, 61, coached Marseille in 2014-15 and was also manager of Italian club Lazio in July 2016, before resigning two days later.
The Argentine will replace Franck Passi, named on Wednesday as interim coach for the rest of the season.
Lille last won the title in 2011 and they are currently 14th and 30 points behind leaders Monaco.
Former Bolton midfielder Passi was also Biesla's assistant when he was at Marseille. During a news conference on Wednesday, the 50-year-old said: "I speak often with Marcelo, everyone knows my relationship with him.
"I've chosen to be Lille coach from now until the end of the season. After that, I'll decide my future from 30 June onwards."
Lille director general Marc Ingla was delighted with the appointment of Bielsa, who led Argentina to Olympic gold in 2004 and Athletic Bilbao to the final of the Europa League and Copa del Rey in 2012.
"Marcelo Bielsa is without a doubt one of the most respected and influential coaches and to bring him here is an immense satisfaction and proof of the ambitions of the club," Ingla said.
"Even if we are absolutely concentrated on the next games and the highly important fixtures to come before the end of the season with Franck Passi, it's good news that we have announced today for the Lille of tomorrow."
It said the measures, restricting gaming depending on the player's age, were "to dispel parents' worries".
According to state media, there has been rising concern over Chinese children's excessive gaming habits.
Parents reportedly worry in particular about both the time and money spent playing Tencent's popular King of Glory game.
From Monday, players aged under 12 will be allowed to log in for only one hour a day, and not after 9pm. Older children will be allowed to play for two hours.
Tencent claims the measures are the most strict in the country's booming online gaming industry.
Chinese state media quoted a company spokesperson saying that "even though as of now, China has not yet passed clear regulations dealing with gaming addiction, we have decided to take the lead".
The firm said it was also working on better implementation of its identity verification, so that those who have not yet completed the verification will not be able to play.
King of Glory is thought to have about 50 million daily active users, and there are numerous reports of parents and teachers expressing concern and frustration about children's gaming habits.
Reports range from a 17-year old gamer in Guangzhou diagnosed with cerebral infarction after playing for 40 hours straight, to children using their parent's credit cards to spend thousands of dollars on the game.
The record-breaking result saw Wales claim second place in the 2016 Six Nations Championship behind England - the first time they have taken the runners-up spot since 1980.
But it's a tournament when the Welsh have come in for criticism at home for the style of their play. Even a fourth consecutive win over France could not stop the media sniping.
Gatland was out of the blocks like a rush defence when asked if the development would continue on the summer tour of his homeland.
"It depends on how much you criticise us," the New Zealander replied.
"It kind of has an impact on us in spite of what you might think.
"We've been criticised for playing same way rugby, playing the touch lines. I think if you are observant, we haven't been playing that way as much.
"We've played other players in wider channels and some different patterns and yet we still get criticised as same old same old."
Gatland's response was perhaps understandable at the end of a week when he had to apologise for describing Joe Marler's "Gypsy boy" comment as banter and found himself involved in a controversy over promotion and relegation from the Six Nations.
It's also a reasonable response given the level of success Wales have enjoyed under him since 2008.
His team has walked the walk the Kiwi has talked. They have three Six Nations titles and a World Cup semi-final to show for it.
Gatland says Wales are changing their game, but asked for patience.
"We've mixed it up with forwards in some of the wider channels and it hasn't always quite clicked," he said.
"But there are times when it has like the last part of that second half against England and today and parts of other games. It looks like a game we can develop."
Wales' tournament swung on a point dropped in Ireland and a defeat by England, which has had a profound impact.
Ireland deserved credit for their performance in the 16-16 draw in Dublin, but the first half against England which saw them trailing 16-0 before hitting back late to lose 25-21 was the real cause of Welsh disappointment.
The silver lining in that very black Twickenham cloud was the nine-try route of Italy, said Gatland.
"That was not good enough. But the players responded after half-time last week and they certainly responded today," he said.
Looking ahead, Wales face England next at Twickenham on 29 May, before three Test matches against a New Zealand rebuilding after losing key players after winning the World Cup.
Wales have not beaten New Zealand since 1953, and face a daunting challenge in June.
Even in the absence of Carter, McCaw, Nonu and Smith, the All Blacks will be formidable opposition.
"With any team you have to believe in your own ability and we're wasting our time getting on the plane if we don't think we can go there and push New Zealand hard," said Gatland.
"We've got to believe in ourselves and this group of players and the squad.
"We have to go down there and believe that if we're on our game and things go our way we're good enough to win.
"There's a lot of pressure on those new players coming in to the [New Zealand] squad and for both sets of teams there's 12 months later and a Lions tour to look forward to as well."
New Zealand rugby is not big on sentiment or sensitivity.
And Gatland is a product of the tough Waikato school of the game - a hard-headed coach whose teams play hard rugby with considerable success.
He wants the Welsh public to get behind him and his team.
"You have no idea what it means to these players when people believe in them and get behind them - it has a massive influence," said Gatland.
There'll be no argument with that on the streets of Cardiff.
They just really love it when their team plays with style - the way they did in the final 10 minutes at Twickenham and in the second half against Italy.

The shortlist of seven international artists includes Bedwyr Williams from Caernarfon, Gwynedd.
The exhibition will run at the National Museum Cardiff and Chapter Arts Centre on 21 October 2016- 26 February 2017.
On 25 January 2017 an international panel of judges will award one of the artists the £40,000 Artes Mundi Prize, the UK's largest cash prize for contemporary art.
The shortlist of seven artists was selected from more than 700 nominations submitted from 90 countries.
It also includes Ghanaian-born British director, writer and theorist John Akomfrah OBE, award winning French-Algerian artist Neïl Beloufa, California-based artist Amy Franceschini and her collective FutureFarmers, performance artist Nástio Mosquito from Angola, Lebanese artist and filmmaker Lamia Joreige and Berlin-based artist and writer Hito Steyerl.
In 2015 the winner, Theaster Gates, chose to split the prize fund equally between the whole shortlist.
Mr Cameron was speaking after flowers were left at the scene of Moat's death in Northumberland and messages of sympathy to him were left on Facebook.
Pc David Rathband, shot by Moat as he sat in a patrol car, has said he was now blind as a result of the attack.
But he told The Sun newspaper he would not let the incident ruin his life.
Moat shot Samantha Stobbart, 22, and killed her boyfriend Chris Brown.
The gunman went on the run and apparently shot himself in Rothbury on Saturday.
Speaking during Prime Minister's Question Time, Mr Cameron said: "It is absolutely clear that Raoul Moat was a callous murderer, full stop, end of story.
"I cannot understand any wave, however small, of public sympathy for this man.
"There should be sympathy for his victims and the havoc he wreaked in that community.
"There should be no sympathy for him."
Conservative MP Chris Heaton-Harris asked him to contact Facebook requesting the RIP Raoul Moat group page, which has attracted more than 30,000 members, be taken down.
He described it as carrying a "whole host of anti-police statements".
Mr Cameron said he was making a "very good point".
But a spokeswoman for Facebook said the page would not be removed on the grounds the site encourages public debate about issues in the media.
She added: "Facebook is a place where people can express their views and discuss things in an open way as they can and do in many other places, and as such we sometimes find people discussing topics others may find distasteful, however that is not a reason in itself to stop a debate from happening.
"The site has measures in place which allow people to report any material they find offensive and each complaint would be investigated on an individual basis."
As well as tributes posted online, flowers and cards have been left outside Moat's home in Fenham, Newcastle, and at the scene of his death in Rothbury.
Meanwhile, Mr Rathband told The Sun newspaper about the moment Moat approached his patrol car, wielding a gun.
"He looked at me and I looked at him and he lifted the gun and discharged the weapon through my window.
"It was a noise I had never heard before but it was a noise that was so painful. My first assumption was it was the noise that was ripping my face off."
Mr Rathband said after a second shot was fired to his shoulder, emergency crews arrived at the scene.
He added: "I asked a paramedic to tell my wife that I loved her and to tell my children that I loved them.
"I knew I was going to die."
Northumbria Police have said they would not comment on the story in the newspaper but that Mr Rathband was interviewed as a victim of a crime, not as a police officer.
Floral tributes have been placed near Moat's home
Gunman Moat 'should be in jail'

On Wednesday, police arrested three men on suspicion of assisting an offender.
A total of 13 people have now been arrested in connection with the Moat inquiry.
Four men and a woman held on suspicion of assisting an offender are currently on police bail.
Two other men have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder and possessing a firearm with intent.
The hunt for Moat began on 3 July after he was suspected of shooting Ms Stobbart and Mr Brown in Birtley, near Gateshead.
Pc Rathband was shot the following day in East Denton as he sat in his patrol car.
After a week on the run, Moat was discovered armed with a shotgun on the banks of the River Coquet at about 1900 BST on Friday.
Armed police cornered him and negotiators were brought in to speak to him.
The Manxman beat Germany's Marcel Kittel to the line during stage six to take him one above France's five-time Tour winner Bernard Hinault.
He is now five behind another five-time Tour winner, Eddy Merckx of Belgium.
Fellow Briton Dan McLay was third in a bunch sprint with Team Sky's Chris Froome safely home in the peloton.
On a relatively flat stage from Arpajon-sur-Cere to Montauban, set up for sprinters, there was no great movement in the general classification as Belgium's Greg van Avermaet remained in the yellow jersey.
The BMC rider still leads France's Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx-Quick-Step) by five minutes and 11 seconds, with 2013 and 2015 champion Froome a further six seconds behind.
Relive the final stages of Cavendish's thrilling win
Having already won the opening stage of this year's Tour to take hold of the yellow jersey for the first time, and won a photo finish on stage four, a third Cavendish victory came after the Team Dimension Data rider emerged from the back of the pack.
It also ensured he took hold of the leading sprinter's green jersey, overtaking Slovakia's Peter Sagan (Tinkoff).
"Oh my god, that was terrifying," he told ITV4. "That was like the old days, just wheel surfing. There are almost two finish lines, and I was a little bit too far back so it was carnage in the final straight, there were guys coming from everywhere.
"I was fighting to be on Marcel Kittel's wheel, I wasn't sure if they were that organised, but I knew it would be the right thing to go early because it was downhill. I went for the line and I had to come again, I did what Marcel has done to me in the last four years and held on."
Fortuneo-Vital Concept's McLay, who earned a fourth top-10 finish of his maiden Tour, was actually finishing faster than Cavendish or Kittel but the 24-year-old ran out of tarmac.
Despite Van Avermaet eking out a five-minute lead on Wednesday, there was no desperation from the main general classification contenders given he is not considered a main rival, and they will get a better chance to claw it back when the Tour heads to the Pyrenees on Friday.
The main task for the likes of Froome, and Movistar's Nairo Quintana and Alejandro Valverde, was to stay out of trouble as the sprinters jockeyed for a last chance of glory before the ascents take their toll.
Once the breakaway pair of Jan Barta (Bora-Argon) and Yukiya Arashiro (Lampre-Merida) were caught by the peloton with 21km to go, Froome's team-mates kept him at the front of the main pack to ensure he was not involved in any crashes.
Fellow yellow jersey rival Alberto Contador remains six minutes and 39 seconds off the leader's pace, while Vincenzo Nibali looks unlikely to mount a challenge after winning the 2016 Giro D'Italia.

This is despite figures showing almost 200 assaults on doctors, nurses and other NHS staff in England every day.
One A&E doctor said "most NHS staff" could say they had been attacked or felt unsafe at work.
NHS Protect said it could not comment before a staff consultation ended but the government said it believed a new approach was needed to protect staff.
The body was tasked with overseeing the measures that trusts were taking to stop physical attacks on doctors and nurses.
It has co-ordinated safety standards and held trusts to account since 2003.
Dr Jess Brittain-George, who works in accident and emergency, said: "Most NHS staff can say they've been attacked or felt unsafe at work, especially those of us on the front line.
"Everyone is on alert and looking out for the patient who is going to kick off.
"When I joined as a student in 2008 it was never mentioned. I did an A&E placement and no-one talked about it.
"Now it's a running joke in the staffroom - 'What's happened to you today? I've been hit again', or something like that."
Dr Brittain-George works in a hospital that takes staff security seriously and has seen attacks decline, but she says elsewhere in the health service security "isn't stellar" and has been frustrated by the unwillingness of police officers to investigate.
She says a man told an A&E receptionist that he intended to wait outside to kill her when she left work.
"The police didn't care. They said, 'It's just a threat and it isn't important.' But everyone knows that a threat to your life is an offence and it is prosecutable."
Nurses' leaders say the intense pressure on the health service has fuelled attacks on staff.
In total, 70,555 NHS staff were assaulted in 2015-16, according to NHS Protect figures - up 4% on the previous year.
Kim Sunley, of the Royal College of Nursing, described it as "an absolutely shocking figure".
"You see some horrible physical assaults - people being punched in the face, grabbed by the throat, limbs being broken, chairs being thrown at people.
"There's the physical impact of the injury, but also the psychological impact, the long-term effect. People are traumatised.
"Where people are frustrated and are having to wait a long time, an environment that isn't fit for purpose so you have trolleys in corridors, it's going to increase tension, it's going to increase frustration and it's a tinderbox atmosphere."
Many assaults are carried out by people who lack mental capacity, but it is thought some claim mental disability as a way of dissuading the police from investigating.
NHS Protect has stepped in to secure convictions in cases when the police have decided not to act.
On the issue of ending security work, NHS Protect said in a statement that it was "not appropriate for us to comment in detail" before the consultation with staff ended on 1 March.
But it confirmed that it was consulting staff about plans under which "our organisation would not be tasked with security management work".
It added: "Work continues on the potential of identifying who might be best placed to take the lead on guiding this work, if it is felt appropriate that another body should take it forward".
A Department of Health said its proposals come amid a "persistently high numbers of these unacceptable incidents".
A spokesperson added: "NHS staff work incredibly hard in a high-pressure environment, and it is completely unacceptable for them to be subject to aggression or violence.
"Trusts should have no hesitation in involving the police and pressing for the strongest penalties against offenders."

"Me and my coaches have taken each day as it comes and we've not really spoken about Rio," Tinkler added.
"Getting to the World Championships was incredible and we didn't think that was going to happen so it's amazing."
Fifteen crew members from Dorset Fire and Rescue Service pulled the pair out of the water in Factory Lane, Duntish at about 08:45 BST.

The Gunners failed to register a shot on target in a lacklustre display that drew criticism from fans and pundits.
"If some people feel as if I am the problem, then I am sorry that I am the problem," Wenger told Sky Sports.
"But we want our fans to be with us even in a losing performance like that."
He added: "The only thing we can do is come back and give them a better performance."

Wenger signed a new two-year deal at the end of last season, despite calls from some supporters for him to be replaced.
The club finished fifth in the league, meaning they missed out on Champions League football for the first time in Wenger's 21-year tenure, but won the FA Cup.
Wenger left club record signing Alexandre Lacazette on the bench at Anfield, but was able to give forward Alexis Sanchez a first start of the season.
However, the Gunners were overrun by goals from Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Daniel Sturridge and when asked what was wrong with the performance, Wenger said "everything".
"We were not at the right level from the first minute - physically, technically and mentally - and we were punished," said the Frenchman.
"Today our performance was not acceptable. It is true today we were an easy opponent for Liverpool.
"Our performance was absolutely disastrous. Not to become too emotional, we have to take some distance, and there are some reasons behind it, and the players now go on their international break, but we do have to take the consequences of our performance today,"
BBC Radio 5 live pundit Robbie Savage at Anfield:
Liverpool haven't beaten Arsenal, they have destroyed them. Thumped them. Torn them apart.
It doesn't matter what formation you play or your tactics, it's also about desire and winning second balls. I don't think enough Arsenal players want to play that kind of football.
Where are the leaders on the park for Arsenal, getting the likes of Granit Xhaka and Nacho Monreal by the scruff of the neck and demanding to know what they are doing?
If I was an Arsenal fan I'd want to see my manager. Arsene Wenger and Steve Bould are simply sitting there doing nothing. Get out there and give your team a rollocking.
Talk about body language. Think of the Arsenal teams of the past - leaders like Tony Adams, Martin Keown and Bould.
Former Arsenal striker John Hartson on Radio 5 live's 606:
When you travel to a notorious place, Anfield, mentally you've got to be prepared for a tough game, you've got to be prepared to run back, to tackle and to earn the right. Arsenal did not earn the right - they were lacking all over the pitch.
Blame Arsene Wenger all you want but if the Arsenal players cannot muster up some fight then there must be something seriously wrong at the football club.
I would have liked to have seen Wenger leave at the end of last season after winning three FA Cups in four years. He'd have left with the respect of the crowd and with his head held high.
The club needs freshening up.
The 21-year-old has been at Tannadice since summer 2013 but has only made one first-team appearance as a substitute.
Englishman Oyenuga began his career with Spurs and had loan spells with MyPa in Finland, Bury and St Johnstone before being released.
He spent a season with Conference club Hayes and Yeading United before heading for Tannadice.
Oyenuga spent the second half of last season on loan to Conference South outfit Boreham Wood.
Now he has joined Jimmy Nicholl's Blue Brazil in the Scottish Championship until January and could make his debut in Tuesday's League Cup tie away to Falkirk.
The defender, 33, rejoined the Easter Road club at the weekend, 10 years after leaving for Rangers.
And Whittaker says the side promoted from the Championship in April are determined to pip the likes of Aberdeen and Rangers to a second-place finish.
"I think (second place) is something we need to aim for, something we need to believe we can achieve," he said.
Celtic ran away with the Premiership title last term with Aberdeen second and Rangers third.
And Whittaker reckons the recent positivity at Hibs can help them finish best of the rest this season, with Celtic expected to lift the title again.
"It's a squad that is on the up," he added. "They have had two successful seasons and there is a good feeling about the club.
"The manager (Neil Lennon) has come in and demanded high standards so we will look to carry that on this season.
"We'll be expecting the best from ourselves and hopefully we'll get the best possible outcome that we can.
"There's no chance the manager will let us slack and we'll keep trying to produce."
Whittaker, who signed a three year deal with Hibs after leaving Norwich, the club he joined from Rangers in 2012, knows he cannot take his place in the side for granted.
As well as securing the Championship title under Lennon last season, Hibs also ended their 114-year wait for Scottish Cup glory in season 2015-16 under Alan Stubbs.
And David Gray, who scored the winning goal in the cup final against Rangers, just happens to play in Whittaker's favoured right-back slot.
"Depending on the opposition, the manager knows I can fill in along the back four or in midfield if needs be," the versatile former Scotland player said.
"So we will just wait and see what that brings. I'm just happy to be back playing and wherever that is I'll get on with it."
Whittaker quit Rangers following the Ibrox outfit's financial collapse in 2012.
Like team-mate Steven Naismith, he refused to transfer his contract over to the new company set up by Charles Green - sparking anger among Rangers fans.
Hibs visit Ibrox on 12 August and while Whittaker is unsure how he will be received, he is sure about what he hopes to take from the game.
"It was a difficult time for everyone," Whittaker said of his decision to leave Rangers. "A lot of pressure got put on the players when they were not to blame.
"We were trying to take care of business on the park with everything else going on outside, so it was difficult.
"But it was what it was and we all had to continue on as we chose.
"I don't know what kind of reception I'll get when I go back.
"I enjoyed my time there, I've got a lot of fantastic memories. It's a great place to go play your football and it's a game we at Hibs will look forward to and hopefully get the three points."
Six elements are considered essential for life - oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur - so the announcement in 2010 implied one of biology's golden rules had been broken.
The findings provoked an immediate backlash and now two new scientific papers suggest the bacterium needs phosphorus to grow after all.
The studies appear in Science journal.
One of the papers
is authored by Tobias Erb from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and collagues;
the other
comes from a team led by Marshall Reaves of Princeton University in New Jersey.
In December 2010, the
same journal published a paper
claiming to show that the GFAJ-1 micro-organism, found in the arsenic-rich sediments of California's Mono Lake, could incorporate arsenic into its DNA when phosphorus was unavailable.
The team, led by Felisa Wolfe-Simon - then based at the US Geological Survey (USGS) - had acknowledged very low levels of phosphate (a phosphorus-containing molecule) within their study samples.
But they concluded that this contamination was insufficient to permit GFAJ-1 to grow.
The new papers suggest instead that although the organism is able to survive in high arsenic and low phosphorus (phosphate) conditions, it still needs phosphorus to grow.
They conclude that Dr Wolfe-Simon's samples did in fact contain enough phosphate contamination to support GFAJ-1's growth.
The researchers argue that the bacterium - being highly adapted to the arsenic-rich environment of the lake - is thrifty, and has become adept at scavenging phosphorus under harsh conditions.
This helps explain why it can grow even when arsenic is present within the cells.
The latest studies also found no evidence that arsenic was incorporated into the microbe's DNA - as the authors of the original paper had suggested.
Despite the criticism directed at the December 2010 study, Science journal has never retracted the study by Dr Wolfe-Simon and her colleagues.
However, Science's editors have released a statement to accompany the new papers, in which they comment: "In conclusion, the new research shows that GFAJ-1 does not break the long-held rules of life, contrary to how Wolfe-Simon had interpreted her group's data.
"The scientific process is a naturally self-correcting one, as scientists attempt to replicate published results."
The original finding was the subject of a Nasa press conference, in which participants speculated about the finding's possible implications for life elsewhere in the Universe.
Dr Wolfe-Simon and her colleagues have
already responded to a number of specific criticisms
in the pages of Science journal, as well as in the press - where the subsequent debate was also played out.
The lead author subsequently left the USGS lab where she was based. It was originally reported that she was seeking a location with better molecular and genetic research facilities.
But in an
interview with Popular Science magazine
she said she was effectively "evicted" from the laboratory.
The blaze caused thousands of pounds of damage to Bishopbriggs Cultural Centre, in the town's Auchinairn Road, at about 02:20 on 17 November 2015.
The CCTV footage shows the man pouring liquid around and setting it alight.
He is about 5ft 10in tall and was wearing a blue tracksuit, a hat with an luminous rear band and dark shoes.
Det Con Stephen Cooke, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a deliberate and dangerous act which has caused extensive damage to the centre.
"I would appeal to anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV images to contact police as he may hold information vital to our inquiry."
William Tolcher, 51, denied attacking Alex Cusworth, 37, with the 10in (23cm) knife at Dartmoor Prison last November.
A jury at Plymouth Crown Court found him guilty of murder and he is due to be sentenced on Friday.
Tolcher, from Liverpool, is serving a life sentence for the murder of a woman in Newquay, Cornwall, in 1996.
Mr Cusworth suffered internal bleeding after the attack and died at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
Judge James Dingemens said he was considering a minimum 30-year jail sentence.
Tolcher was convicted of murdering a woman in Newquay, Cornwall, in 1996 and was already serving a life sentence.
Here is what you need to know:
Britain first took over Hong Kong island in 1842, after defeating China in the First Opium War. After the Second Opium War, Beijing was forced to also cede Kowloon in 1860, the area on the mainland opposite the island.
In 1898, to enforce its control of the area, the UK leased additional land, known as the New Territories, promising to return them to China in 99 years.
Hong Kong developed rapidly under UK rule, becoming one of the world's major financial and business centres.
Then in 1982, London and Beijing began the difficult process of negotiating the territory's return to Chinese rule.
Hong Kong had developed a vastly different political and economic system from mainland China, which since 1949 had been under authoritarian one-party Communist rule.
China agreed to govern Hong Kong under the principle of "one country, two systems", where the city would enjoy "a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs" for the next 50 years.
Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region. This means it has:
The territory has its own mini-constitution to enshrine these special rights.
Called the Basic Law, it states that "the ultimate aim" is to elect the territory's leader, the chief executive, "by universal suffrage" and "in accordance with democratic procedures".
The leader is the chief executive, elected by a 1,200-member election committee. A majority of the members of this committee are viewed as pro-Beijing.
The parliament is the Legislative Council (LegCo). It is made up half of directly elected representatives and half by representatives chosen by professional or special interest groups.
Political activists argue that the election process gives Beijing the ability to screen out any candidates it disapproves of.
Pro-democracy activists have been campaigning for years for Hong Kong people to have the right to elect their own leader.
In 2014, Beijing said it would allow direct election of the chief executive, but only from a list of pre-approved candidates.
That lead to mass protests from people who wanted full direct democracy. The protests shut down central parts of the city for weeks. The move was later reversed.
There are also a lot of people in Hong Kong who are concerned that China is increasingly meddling in Hong Kong politics in other ways, undermining more politically liberal traditions.
So Hong Kong is increasingly divided into:
The anniversary of the handover is usually also marked by large demonstrations from both camps of the political divide.
That's the date after which mainland China is no longer obliged to grant the autonomy agreed on with Britain before the handover.
While there are some who call for full independence, China has ruled out that option.
The likely paths therefore will be:
With an increasingly politicised younger generation, most observers expect a tough political struggle over the city's future.
Drivers in the city spend an average of 31 hours a year in traffic, according to the latest figures from traffic information website, INRIX
However, the number of hours drivers in Belfast spend in congestion has dropped by nearly eight hours in 2012.
All of the 18 UK cities analysed showed a decline in traffic congestion in 2012.
Bryan Mistele, chief executive officer, INRIX, said: "There has always been strong correlation between the state of the economy and the level of traffic congestion on our roads.
"It tells us if people are employed and driving to work, going out to eat or doing some shopping, as well as whether or not businesses are shipping products," he added.
"Considering unemployment hit record highs in 2012 and European household wealth dropped 13.6% to 10.9 trillion dollars (£7.13 trillion) , it is hardly surprising that traffic levels have dropped significantly."
He is accused of two counts of fraud by abuse of position and conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation.
Mr Philpott is also charged with possessing criminal property and concealing criminal property.
He is expected to appear at Newry Magistrates Court on 19 October.
Police said a 52-year-old woman, also arrested as part of their investigation, has been released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.
Lenny Harper, who retired in 2008, led the investigation centred on homes such as Haut de la Garrenne.
He gave evidence to the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry over video link from Edinburgh rather than in person.
Mr Harper said this was on the advice of his lawyer over concerns Jersey law officers had prepared a "nasty surprise" for him.
States of Jersey Police said he would not have been arrested if he had returned.
Mr Harper said: "We were told by several people that the States lawyers had been discussing in the office that they had a nasty surprise for me if I arrived back in Jersey.
"Bearing in mind they had already launched investigations a few years back without telling me. The lawyer advised me against going back so I took his advice."
Mr Harper gave two days of evidence to the care inquiry this week about the historic child abuse investigation he led, called Operation Rectangle.
He said he did not know what form the "nasty surprise" would take, but suspected it was in connection with "baseless" allegations he had leaked documents.
"I have got previous experience of them manoeuvring so I don't know what they were planning.
"I am happy that the only crime I've committed in their eyes is covering up child abuse.
"I'm not losing any sleep over it but my lawyer felt their capability to produce anything out of the dishonest hat, it would be best if I gave my evidence from Edinburgh."
The show was broadcast at 18:00 BST on 6 October and featured Homer Simpson hanging by a noose from a tree.
A viewer felt this was "inappropriate for an early evening broadcast when families would be watching".
Channel 4 has apologised for "any offence caused" and said "it took its compliance responsibilities seriously".
The broadcaster added that, after receiving two complaints about the episode, edits considered necessary to correct it "were not put into effect".
The show, it went on, would not be repeated before the watershed.
Ofcom noted that the plot of the episode "prominently featured strangulation", raising issues around its scheduling.
Rule 1.3 of the watchdog's code of conduct says: "Children must... be protected by appropriate scheduling from material that is unsuitable for them."
The course, from Pearson's Edexcel exam board, will cover factors leading up to the banking crash of 2007-08.
It will also ask pupils to compare the crash and the way governments handled it, with the Great Depression of 1930s.
"It is vitally important that our A-levels reflect the realities of an ever changing world," said Mark Anderson, Pearson's UK managing director.
"We know that students and teachers are eager to study the biggest financial crisis to take place in our lifetimes, and it is so important that tomorrow's business leaders understand and debate these key economic events."
Pearson says its new A-level economics will ask students to consider the factors that contributed to the crisis "including moral hazard, speculation and market bubbles".
They will also look at the role of banking regulation and the methods governments adopted to deal with the crisis.
These include "quantitative easing" - when central banks print or create money electronically and use it to buy bonds from banks or pension funds to increase the amount of cash in the financial system, boosting lending to businesses and individuals.
The theory is this should allow them to invest and spend more, hopefully increasing growth.
Arguably government efforts to manipulate the money supply and interest rates in the recent recession helped avoid the crisis becoming a 1930s style depression.
Students will also for the first time study the use of "national wellbeing" and "national happiness" as economic measures.
They will also look at the limitations of these and more traditional economic measures in comparing living standards between countries and over time.
The syllabus will also include the study of economic theorists such as Karl Marx, John Keynes, Friedrich Hayek and Adam Smith, as well as a section on new theories in behavioural economics and the ways in which psychological, emotional and social factors contribute to people's economic decisions.
Students will also study emerging and developing economies and consider economic theories and concepts in different contexts.
Exam boards OCR and AQA have also redeveloped their economics A-levels in response to new government specifications for the subject.
These require students to develop an "appreciation of economic concepts and theories in a range of contexts and develop a critical consideration of their value and limitations" in explaining real-world events.
AQA qualifications manager Sam Livesey said his board's A-level economics course, developed with help from the Bank of England, would include the 2008 credit crunch "as a real-life example to teach students how the financial system operates and give them real-world knowledge of economics.
"The topic will give students an understanding of how financial crises occur and what measures can be put in place to avoid them," said Ms Livesey.
The chancellor is working with Whitehall officials and the international Financial Stability Board (FSB) on new regulations which will be imposed on the market. At the moment, foreign exchange (known in City shorthand as "forex") is largely unregulated and left to the bank traders who execute deals on behalf of global companies. Companies use forex deals to move money between different currencies and a large part of the market is dealt through London.
One senior official I have spoken to agreed that the public would be "very surprised" that such a major market was clearly open to abuse. The Treasury is likely to announce a set of measures to "clean up the market", probably in the next fortnight.
The prices in forex are set by traders who are doing the deals. Traders are able to pick a selection of the trades they have been asked to execute, meaning they can choose those most advantageous to their bank. The prices are set at the 4pm "fix", a daily City benchmark against which currencies are priced. I have written a short "How It Works" at the end of this blog on the allegation that forex is manipulated.
Regulators around the world including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in London and the US Department of Justice are investigating allegations of forex manipulation. It has been reported that at least 15 banks are involved and nine are thought to have suspended or fired traders. No allegations have been proved and no admissions of fault made.
Martin Wheatley, the head of the FCA, said the allegations, if substantiated, could be "every bit as bad as Libor", referring to the revelations three years ago that the market which governs how banks lend to each other was regularly fixed.
As forex is an international market governed by international rules, the UK government is limited in what it can do alone. That is why it is working with the FSB - chaired by the Bank of England governor, Mark Carney - which is due to produce a major report on controlling the market at the G20 summit in Brisbane in the autumn.
Options include ensuring that a broader selection of trades are included in setting the price of forex deals; making the trading transparent on electronic trading platforms; limiting the negotiations between traders before the prices are set and changing the trading culture with the possibility of new professional codes of conduct for those executing trades. A single "fix" at 4pm could also be changed, giving a wider range of prices for currencies.
More importantly for Mr Osborne, there is a wider political point he wants to make, I am told. If the public is to regain trust in the financial system, then people must have faith that the markets are operating fairly. Allegations of manipulation around Libor and forex undermine that trust and leave the public believing there is one rule for them and another rule for "insiders", those close to the chancellor believe.
In a passage of his important speech on Inclusive Capitalism last week, Mr Carney laid out some of the key arguments which I am sure will be repeated by Mr Osborne in the near future. "In recent years, a host of scandals in fixed income, currency and commodity markets have been exposed," Mr Carney said. "Merely prosecuting the guilty to the full extent of the law will not be sufficient to address the issues raised. Authorities and market participants must also act to re-create fair and effective markets."
Ever the strategist, Mr Osborne is already looking towards the next general election in May 2015. Before the 2010 election, the then shadow chancellor made great play that Labour had failed on regulation and that the government was asleep at the wheel as the banks made hay (and lots of money) before the financial crisis.
The Coalition's nightmare scenario is that billions of pounds of forex fines are announced in 2015 and Labour accuses the government of a lack of action. Mr Osborne is looking intently at tightening the forex rules to try and head off just such an eventuality.
A picture of the former Labour leader blowing his nose was used by NBC to introduce a news item warning that not enough people were being vaccinated.
The photo was taken at the Labour conference in Liverpool in 2011.
On Twitter, Mr Miliband said he was "proud" of his "new role", coining the hashtag "#flulabour".
The photo, which NBC captioned "flu risk", is the top result from a search for "sneeze" on the Getty picture database.
It triggered a flurry of tweets after viewers recognised the ex-Labour leader.
With the Doncaster North MP blowing his nose in the background, the NBC presenter warned of "fresh concerns" that not enough people were being vaccinated for flu.
It is packed with saturated fat which can raise "bad" cholesterol, says the American Heart Association in updated advice.
Coconut oil is commonly sold as a health food and some claim the fat in it may be better for us than other saturated fats.
The AHA, however, says there are no good studies to support this.
The advice around which fats to eat can be very confusing.
Animal fats, such as lard, are generally seen as bad, while plant oils, such as olive and sunflower, are seen as healthier options.
That theory is based on how much of one particular type of fat - saturated fat or "sat fat" - these products contain.
Saturated fat is said to be bad for our health, although not everyone agrees.
Eating a diet high in saturated fat can raise the level of "bad" (LDL) cholesterol in the blood, which, in turn, may clog the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
According to the AHA, 82% of the fat in coconut oil is saturated. That's more than in butter (63%), beef fat (50%) and pork lard (39%). And, like other saturated fats, studies show it can increase "bad" cholesterol.
Some claim that the mixture of fats in coconut oil still make it a healthy option, but the AHA says there is no good-quality evidence for this.
It says people should limit how much saturated fat they eat, replacing some of it with unsaturated vegetable oils - olive oil and sunflower oil, and their spreads.
According to the AHA, studies show swaps such as this can lower cholesterol by the same magnitude as cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Dr Frank Sacks, lead author of the AHA advice, said: "We want to set the record straight on why well-conducted scientific research overwhelmingly supports limiting saturated fat in the diet to prevent diseases of the heart and blood vessels."
In the UK, Public Health England advises people to cut down on saturated fat:
Nutritional labels on food display how much saturated fat is in products.
But experts stress that fat is still an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet. We shouldn't cut out too much. Fat is a source of essential fatty acids and helps the body absorb vitamins, such as A, D and E.
Victoria Taylor from the British Heart Foundation said: "To eat well for your heart health it is not just about reducing fat but reducing specific types of fat and taking care over what these are replaced with - unsaturated fats and wholegrains, rather than sugars and refined carbohydrates.
"Any change should be viewed in the context of a whole diet approach. The traditional Mediterranean diet has benefits for a range of risk factors for heart disease, not just cholesterol levels.
"We recommend replacing the saturated fats in the diet with unsaturated fats - using oils instead of butter and choosing foods like avocado, oily fish, nuts and seeds instead of foods high in saturated fats like cakes, biscuits, chocolate and fatty meat."
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said the government will instead introduce faster trains with more seats and better on-board facilities.
He said: "We are making the biggest investment in the railways since the Victorian era."
Andy McDonald, Labour's Shadow Transport Secretary, accused him of "taking people for a ride".
Routes between Cardiff and Swansea, and between Kettering, Nottingham and Sheffield, and between Windermere and Oxenholme will be affected.
Mr Grayling said said the new trains on the Great Western and Midland Mainline would be bi-mode, meaning they could run on electrified sections of track and then transfer to non-electrified sections.
He said: "Thanks to this new technology disruptive electrification works... will no longer be needed.
"Passengers will benefit sooner and experience less disruption compared with putting up intrusive wires and masts along routes where they are no longer required."
However, Mr McDonald said: "The Tories have been promising the electrification of the Great Western Mainline from Paddington to Swansea since 2012 and today's announcement confirms that they have been taking people for a ride."
Eight years ago Network Rail dramatically over-promised how quickly and how cheaply it could electrify some of Britain's busiest rail lines.
Reality soon hit home.
A recent report by the Public Accounts Committee described the electrification of the Great Western line as "a stark example of how not to run a project".
The budget went from £874m in 2013 to £2.8bn two years later.
Why? Because when Network Rail first did their sums, it was based on guesswork. They hadn't looked in detail at what needed doing and it was just much harder than they thought to upgrade Victorian bridges and tunnels on a line that was being kept open at the same time.
So having kicked some of the promised electrification schemes into the long grass a while ago, the government's finally chopped them.
New trains which are part diesel, part electric, will be used instead.
Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary, Jenny Randerson, said: "The Liberal Democrats secured vital investment for rail electrification when in government.
"That was then delayed by the Tories and now has been scrapped altogether."
The government said it would introduce new Intercity Express trains in Wales with around 130 more seats and faster services.
Wales' Economy Secretary, Ken Skates, told Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme: "I don't buy it."
He accused the UK government of "years of broken promises" and said Mr Grayling had not responded to his requests for a meeting on the issue.
"I'm urging the UK government to clarify the situation immediately," he added.
The Department for Transport said the new services meant long distance journey times from Nottingham and Sheffield would be reduced by up to 20 minutes in peak periods.
It said four direct services a day in each direction between Windermere and Manchester Airport will be introduced from May 2018.
He replaces Phil Blake and is making the switch from New Zealand along with new head coach Aaron Mauger.
Coaches Geordan Murphy and Richard Blaze have extended their contracts, with all four signing three-year deals.
"Aaron knows Scott very well and comes very highly recommended as a coach," Cockerill told the club website.
"He has worked in some top-class environments and we look forward to sharing that experience and knowledge with the playing squad here."
Blake is leaving the Premiership club, who are fourth in the table and will play Wasps and leaders Northampton in their final two games of the season.
"Aaron has already had a lot of input on our plans for next season, while he has continued to work with the Crusaders in New Zealand, and we look forward to having him here as we build up to next season," added Cockerill.
"We're delighted that Richard and Geordan have agreed new contracts, because they are outstanding young coaches with a big future."
Many people - not only journalists - will be disappointed.
In the High Court on Tuesday, Mr Justice Hildyard granted a second 24-hour adjournment after lawyers for both RBS and the thousands of shareholders who feel they were duped into putting extra money into the failing bank told him the two sides were close to a deal.
Back in 2008, RBS sold £12bn of new shares to investors at £2 each to bolster its finances. It wasn't sufficient and the government was forced to rescue it six months later with £45bn in taxpayers' money which wiped out most of the value of those new shares.
Shareholders big and small cried foul, saying the bank had misled them about how secure the bank's finances were when it asked them to put in their extra money.
Many of those shareholders, mostly big institutions, have already settled with RBS - accepting between 41 and 43 pence for each share. But thousands of smaller shareholders and some institutions fought on and proceedings were due to start on Monday.
A last minute offer of 82 pence was offered over the weekend and that was enough for the judge to grant one and now two extra days to try to get a deal preventing an already astronomically expensive case from rumbling on for many more weeks.
It seems very likely that the two sides will reach agreement later on Tuesday and that will make it very unlikely that those who lost money will have the satisfaction of seeing Mr Goodwin squirm under a spotlight he has successfully avoided for most of the last decade.
One shareholder I spoke to in court said that, while he would go along with any settlement, he was sorry that he would not get to see Mr Goodwin and the other directors face the music.
"I just want to see Fred and the directors who waved through his recklessness held to account," he told me.
In many ways it is a shame that we won't get to relive the sorry tale of the demise of what was once the world's biggest bank.
The RBS collapse continues to cast a huge shadow. The bank is expected to lose money again this year - for the 10th year in a row - with total losses for that decade expected to be around £60bn.
But more than the colossal sums of money lost, the RBS story is arguably the most significant episode in the way the relationship, the contract if you like, between business, government and society has changed since the financial crash.
Legendary investor Warren Buffett once famously said, "it's only when the tide goes out that you see who's swimming naked". The financial crash and the subsequent scandals like Libor exposed naked greed, vast pay and poor ethical standards.
The intense anger at having to foot the bill to clear up the mess may have subsided slightly, but the distrust of business and finance lingers on years later and is evident in the campaign manifestos of all political parties - including the Tories.
RBS remains more than 70% state-owned. The wider public may feel that entitles them to see the dirty linen of the past washed in open court. That now looks unlikely.
Nearly 400 others were injured at the Puttingal temple in Paravur when a faulty firework fell onto a large stockpile of fireworks.
A building at the temple then collapsed, causing many of the deaths.
Thousands had gathered to watch the fireworks display as part of a local new year festival.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who visited the scene and spoke with victims in local hospitals, said the incident was "heart-rending and shocking beyond words".
"The incident is so grave that it is very difficult to describe in words," he added. "People who were 200 metres away were also hurt."
In pictures: India temple fire
The explosion happened at about 03:30 (22:00 GMT Saturday), hours after the event started in Kollam district.
Yogita Limaye, BBC News, at the scene
Outside the Puttingal temple there was an eerie silence the night after the fire tragedy.
Rubble and firecracker shells were scattered all over the ground. And shoes. Lots of them.
A pink flip-flop, one black sandal, a white sports shoe that's upside down - they were all lying not far from each other, all signs of the mad scramble that erupted as people tried to save themselves.
Read Yogita's full report
There were scenes of chaos as emergency teams were slow in reaching the area and rescue teams used bulldozers to clear the area looking for survivors.
A power outage hit the complex after the first explosion, further complicating rescue efforts.
Many of the dead were charred beyond recognition and would have to be identified by DNA tests, said Kerala police chief TP Senkumar.
The temple had been denied permission on safety grounds to hold the fireworks display but it had gone ahead under pressure from the crowd, officials said.
Police are planning to take action against the temple administration and the contractors who were putting on the display.
Kerala's government said it had ordered a judicial inquiry that would work alongside the police's criminal investigation.
The incident happened as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Mumbai for a seven-day tour of India and Bhutan, and Kensington Palace said the couple's thoughts were with those assisting victims.
Kerala is in the middle of an election for a new state assembly, but political parties have called off campaigning as a mark of respect for the victims.
Voice recording booths were popular in the UK and USA between the 1930s and 1970s and were fixtures at train stations, seaside arcades and tourist attractions.
While the discs they created have largely disappeared, one featuring women singing to a baby found in a Cardiff charity shop was the catalyst for the rediscovery of a long-forgotten way of communicating.
The story is told in a Radio 4 podcast called Keepsake For My Lover.
It began when the boyfriend of BBC radio producer Hannah Loy came across an old recording while sifting through records in a Cardiff charity shop.
"When he got it home, it actually played and we heard two women singing to a baby," she said.
"It was so exciting and evocative to hear those voices from the past, we created a whole back story to their lives."
Along with presenter Janine H Jones, Ms Loy began looking into the history of the booths, summing up their role in British culture by adding: "If you've seen Brighton Rock you'll know what we mean."
The 1947 movie, based on a Graham Greene novel, is a gangster film where a voice recording made at a fairground plays a central part in the plot.
One of the characters does not have a gramophone to play it on, with the content only revealed towards the end of it.
While most traces of the booths have long-since disappeared, the pair found details of somebody who still repairs them, living near Washington DC in the United States.
"Luckily, Janine was going on a trip to the states anyway so that's when everything fell into place," Ms Loy said.
"She spoke to everyone she could over there about the discs and the booths and came back with some amazing recordings."
Booths had a strict time limit and you spoke or sang when a green light came on.
Ms Loy added: "I think that flummoxed people, it was like a performance, people got tongue tied or their minds went blank.
"Often they spoke about mundane things."
To try and recreate the feeling of the booths, the pair set one up at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay, putting on a time limit and one chance to record.
"People engaged with it straight away but what struck us was how similar some of the recordings were to the ones from over 60 years ago featured in the documentary," she said.
The podcast Keepsake for My Lover is part of the Seriously podcast collection for Radio 4.
"(It) emphasises the power and timelessness of recorded speech and the beauty and significance in mistakes and the mundane," Ms Loy added.
"[It is] particularly poignant now, when we live in a world where everything can be airbrushed, faked and edited."
A 48-hour walkout was staged by security staff at 11 airports operated by Highlands and Islands Airports (Hial) last week as part of the industrial action, which saw flights cancelled at Dundee airport.
Hial bosses said they would make a formal offer to "resolve this issue as quickly as possible".
The Prospect union welcomed the move.
Hial, which is owned by the Scottish government, operates airports in the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland, Dundee, Argyll, Inverness and Wick.
About 120 staff from security company AMSL took part in industrial action last week as part of a dispute over pay.
Hial managing director Inglis Lyon said he hoped the issue could be swiftly resolved.
He said: "We will submit a formal offer to the union this week which we hope will provide the basis for a meaningful, constructive dialogue.
"It has always been the intention of the company to address the concerns of security staff, but it is impossible to do so under the threat of industrial action.
"It is important that we resolve this issue as quickly as possible. The threat of further industrial action is in no one's interests, particularly as we approach the busy summer season."
Prospect national secretary Alan Denney said he was "pleased" that Hial had "made progress".
He said: "We look forward to receiving a written offer and entering into a constructive dialogue with Hial on the basis of this. We hope this will lead to a swift resolution of our dispute.
"The legal mandate for further strike action remains, but if Hial makes a reasonable offer which addresses our objective of securing equal treatment for AMSL workers, we should not need to exercise that option."
Prospect represents 120 of AMSL's 160 workers at the 11 Hial airports.
Sophie Lindsay, 15, was reported missing after being last seen at about 13:15 in the city's Sherbrooke Avenue at the weekend.
At the time, police said she had been missing before but not for a prolonged period of time.
However, officers said on Wednesday that the teenager had been found safe and well.
A thumping 241-run victory in the first Test in South Africa was England's sixth win in 14 matches this year.
They regained the Ashes in the summer but lost to Pakistan in the UAE and drew with New Zealand and West Indies.
"There is still a lot of improvement in this team. It's only just the beginning of a journey for this young team," said Bayliss, who was appointed in May.
England, who are sixth in the Test rankings, needed only 24 overs on the final day in Durban to beat the team who top the standings.
"If you want to be the best team in the world you've got to put in consistently good performances and I think we've got a way to go in that," Bayliss told BBC Sport.
"We can by no means rest on one win. We know it's going to be a tough series.
"We've only got to look back at the Ashes. We were up and down in results and that's one of the things we want to work on - consistency over a series."
Nick Compton, playing Test cricket for the first time since May 2013, made a watchful 85 in England's first innings, while James Taylor scored 70.
Joe Root hit 73 in the second innings to take his total for 2015 to 1,385 Test runs, while Jonny Bairstow added 79 from 76 balls to ram home England's advantage.
Moeen Ali was named man of the match after taking 7-116, but all of England's frontline bowlers took wickets.
Bayliss said: "I thought it was a team effort. Most guys scored some runs and the wickets were shared around as well."
The Australian added he was "a little disappointed" with England's scores of 303 and 326.
He said: "I thought we left 100 runs or so out there in both innings so we've got things to work on. Our bowling before tea on the fourth day was a little ordinary as well, but we regrouped and hit those right areas.
"The very best teams that get to the number one position in the world have one or two guys that will make 130.
"We had some guys bat very well for 70s and an 80 but if one goes on and gets 130, 140, 150, it could mean 100 extra runs and then the result is completely out of reach. That's something we will work towards.
"Most of the guys in this team are fairly young and inexperienced, so I think naturally that will come, but we've got to keep challenging them to do that."

Yasmin Kauser, 46, hit the single decker, causing it to crash into a Guide Dogs UK shop on Broadway, Peterborough, on Christmas Eve.
She had earlier admitted one count of careless driving.
Peterborough magistrates heard she had a clean licence for 20 years and her husband, who has cancer, relied on her.
The court heard Kauser, of Park Road, Peterborough, was driving her Kia Sportage at about 11:45 GMT on 24 December when she hit the side of the bus after failing to stop at a junction.
More on this and other news from Cambridgeshire
"She pulled out without stopping or slowing," Graham Allen, prosecuting, said.
"This caused the bus to collide with the shop front, causing substantial damage."
The bus driver and several passengers were injured during the impact.
Kauser and her passenger also sustained minor injuries.
Although no-one inside the Guide Dogs UK shop was hurt, the front of the shop was destroyed and staff were forced to find a new office in the city.
At the time of the accident, Alex Caruso, a passenger on the bus, said: "We didn't see where the car was coming from.
"The bus driver started braking, veered away from other cars and came to a stop in the building, but to avoid any other people and cars was a miracle."
In mitigation, the court heard Kauser was normally a careful driver and needed her car to get to hospital appointments in Birmingham, where she was being treated for the autoimmune disease lupus.
Her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer, also relied heavily on her.
Chair of the magistrates' bench, Alan Jones, said: "It is an unfortunate offence where one mistake has caused both injury and significant damage.
"Your driving record suggests you're normally a careful driver and we are prepared to deal with this as a one-off incident rather than general bad driving."
As well as the points and fine, Kauser was ordered to pay £105 in costs.
The Tunisian, whom Islamic State have named as Abu Yahya al-Qayrawani, lived in Jaafour until he was 19 or 20. He then went off to university at Kairouan but continued to visit the village regularly.
Officials said his named was Seifeddine Rezgui. He was shot dead by police after the attack on Friday.
His parents and sister and all of his close friends have been detained for questioning, but an uncle and a cousin in the village were both visibly extremely upset and shocked.
They seemed to have been pretty much traumatised by the news that it was their relative who carried out this deadly attack.
They said they had seen him literally two or three days before the event and that there was nothing in his behaviour to indicate he had been radicalised or that he was about to carry out an attack.
It seems that just the day before the attack, on Thursday, he was in Jaafour and he had his beard shaved off, presumably the better to make his way onto the beach without arousing suspicion.
Fifteen Britons among the dead
Everybody we talked to in Jaafour, whether his family or just fellow villagers, said he was just a very normal man - he prayed like other people here, he fasted like other people here, but he showed no signs at all of extremism.
The tendency in the village is to blame Kairouan - the big town where he went off to study.
Relatives believe he may been radicalised there but managed to hide it until he carried out this attack, leaving people in the village more shocked than they can say. | Police Scotland have launched a murder investigation after the body of a woman was found at a house in Falkirk.

Within two weeks of taking charge of Notts County in January, the Scot felt swamped by the demands on his time and the invasive nature of the pressures and stresses of the job.
He lasted 70 days at Meadow Lane, a 12-game spell that delivered three victories and a stark introduction into the realities of management.
There were off-field issues to contend with since the owner and chairman who appointed him, Ray Trew, had stood down as he tried to sell the club and the chief executive also left his position.
Turmoil was commonplace, not least in Fullarton's mind, as he tried to grasp an opportunity to succeed as a manager at a time in the game when short-term thinking is rife.
"It's exciting, you look forward to it - then reality hits," Fullarton says of management. "When you're on the training field, that's your solace. Why? No phone. No-one asking you questions, no-one making demands of you.
"Everybody wants five minutes of your time. It's all the baggage that comes with being a manager that is something you need a coping strategy to deal with.
"I found it impossible to switch off. Maybe that's personality. You're a bit OCD and what happens when things are going well, it absorbs you. That's a choice, because things are going well and you want to be there, you spend more time.
"When things aren't going well, it consumes your life, you're affected in terms of your thought processing. As a manager, you're paid to make decisions and they become clouded under that pressure.
"We've done our badges, but at no point do they talk about coping strategies, about dealing with theses stresses and pressures. Wellbeing is a key factor, how you look after yourself."
Fullarton played in the top-flight in Scotland for St Mirren and Dundee United, in France with Bastia, in England's top-flight for three seasons with Crystal Palace and for a number of lower league sides.
At 41, he had been coaching at various youth levels for many years, as well as earning his coaching qualifications. He was an impressive interviewee, with Trew selecting him ahead of a field of candidates that he described at the time as a "high standard".
A hard-edged, combative midfielder, Fullarton was assertive and articulate and felt ready for the role. Notts County were 21st in League Two at the time, with his predecessor, Ricardo Moniz, only having been in the job for eight months and, reflecting back now, Fullarton concedes he made mistakes.
He wanted to bring in his former Crystal Palace manager, Steve Coppell, as an experienced figure in the backroom staff. He also wanted to assess the coaches already in place before making changes so left himself without an assistant he knew and felt comfortable enough to trust explicitly.
Ultimately, though, it was the pressures of the job, of coping with all the responsibilities that come with the position.
"It went from me planning to have the five days, with the two days off to spend with the family, which is the normal routine, to becoming the six days, then seven days," he says.
"It went from getting on average seven to eight hours sleep, to four, from three meals a day to two to one, to living off caffeine and sugar. And turning up on a Saturday physically and, more importantly, mentally tired, fatigued. Ultimately, you are paid to make decisions on a Saturday that can influence or help players.
"I found over a short period of time that it consumed me, I wasn't controlling it. The pressure of it. It's a lonely job, whether it's 5,000 people in the stadium, you feel very alone on the touchline."
Fullarton, now 42 and running a coaching school in Spain, believes that the coaching qualifications should provide more help in how to deal with the stress of the role, although he acknowledges the work that the League Managers Association and the Professional Footballers' Association in England are doing with masterclasses now being made available.
"The sobering point for me was on the Sunday morning [after he was sacked], five in the morning, my little daughter, Gabriella, and son, Joseph, came in and they were saying, 'what's happening today'?
"And I said, 'daddy's got a bit of time off now'. They said, 'what do you mean'?
"I said, 'I've lost my job'. And they said, 'what, you've been sacked'? They were jumping on the bed, cheering.
"I said, 'why are you happy guys'? And they said, 'we're going to see more of you'. That burst a bubble for me and made me realise where I'd been for the past few months and that it had consumed me.
"You feel a stigma, where you shouldn't have to reach out for support, and we need to break that down so that managers feel comfortable to reach out."
Panicked people smashed windows to flee as black smoke spread through the Inul Vizta building in Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi province.
But others were trapped in the building, which reportedly had only one access door.
Most of the victims are said to have died from smoke inhalation.
About 70 others are in hospital.
The fire broke out at about 01:00 local time on Sunday morning (Saturday 17:00 GMT) on the second floor of the building, where hundreds of people were singing in private rooms, witnesses told authorities.
"The fire filled the rooms and corridors with thick black smoke and people started panicking and running helter-skelter in the dark," provincial police spokesman Wilson Damanik told AFP news agency.
"Some inhaled the smoke while others tried to escape by jumping out of the windows onto the street," he said.
Associated Press quotes witnesses as saying firefighters took about an hour to arrive, leaving workers to try to put out the fire with extinguishers.
All 12 confirmed dead were Indonesia, Mr Damanik said.
An electrical short circuit has been identified as the likely cause but an investigation is under way.
"Membership of the EU has cleaned up our beaches, improved our water supplies and without the EU we would not even be debating the silent killer that is air pollution."
It's true that these issues are covered by EU laws, which have pushed for higher standards over time and that European rules are among the toughest in the world.
For example, the quality of water at beaches is governed by the revised Bathing Water Directive.
But outside the EU ,Britain might have implemented its own laws on environmental issues, as some other countries have done.
And it's surely going too far to say we wouldn't even be discussing air pollution without the EU.
The Clean Air Act, for example, was passed in the UK in 1956, long before we joined the European Community.
Reality check verdict: Over the top.

The 55-year-old Italian was in charge of the Hornets, who are 16th in the Premier League, for less than a year.
Watford's next manager will be their ninth in five years and the eighth since the Italian Pozzo family took over the club in 2012.
Chairman Scott Duxbury announced the latest exit after the board "discussed goals and aspirations" with Mazzarri.
"It was decided he will be stepping down from his position as the club's head coach," said Duxbury.
Monday's 4-3 defeat at champions Chelsea was their fifth loss in a row, although the Hornets avoided relegation and are six points above the drop zone with a game to play.
The club announced in May 2016 that former Inter Milan boss Mazzarri would become head coach on a three-year deal from 1 July after the departure of Quique Sanchez Flores.
Flores left despite taking the club to the FA Cup semi-finals and comfortably retaining their Premier League status, while Slavisa Jokanovic exited a year earlier after leading Watford into the top flight.
Mazzarri, who guided Napoli to the 2012 Copa Italia title and runners-up spot in the 2013 Serie A, won 11 of his 37 Premier League matches at Watford.
The Italian, who conducted his press conferences through an interpreter, was hampered by injuries to key players but certain sections of the supporters did not warm to him.
Popular club captain Troy Deeney had been relegated to the bench in recent weeks, and there were reports of player unrest.
Former Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri and Hull City's Marco Silva are the early bookmakers' favourites to replace Mazzarri.
BBC Three Counties Radio sports editor Geoff Doyle
There have been problems rumbling at Watford all season with Mazzarri in charge and it was just a question of when it would come to a head.
These have included training issues (players undercooked pre-season, overcooked towards the end of the season) causing unrest in the squad and possibly the reason for long-term injuries to five or six current key players.
His relationship with skipper Troy Deeney has appeared strained for most of the season with the influential captain dropped three times in the past two months.
There seems to have been unhappiness within the squad with the tactics, formations and philosophy of the 'old school' boss. It certainly appeared Mazzarri had 'lost' the dressing room weeks ago.
His lack of English has irritated the club, fans, media and players with instructions on the training ground and in games via interpreters.
When the bad run came, Mazzarri had little or no support anywhere around the club. The inevitable has occurred.

One administrator of "secret" groups on the network raised concerns that old members would be able to access "highly sensitive" information.
Others have complained of having to leave the groups, one-by-one, again.
Facebook says the glitch would not give access to users' personal details if they were hidden via its settings.
The firm advertises the groups facility as a "private space" where updates, polls and chat messages can be shared between family, co-workers and pupils in a school class.
It adds that a group can be made "secret" to ensure that not only are messages limited to those within it, but that those outside cannot see who else is a member.
"Some users appear to have been re-added to groups that they have left in the past," the firm said in a statement.
"We are investigating the issue."
The problem comes at a time the company is involved in a separate privacy controversy.
It wants to be able to share information between its social network and its other businesses such as recently acquired photo service Instagram, and to stop its members having the right to vote on further changes to its privacy policy.
The move is opposed by campaign groups including the Electronic Privacy Information Center and the Center for Digital Democracy.
The Swiss, 35, can overtake the mark set by Pete Sampras in 2000, and Williams Renshaw in 1889, with victory in his 11th Wimbledon final.
Cilic, 28, held match points against Federer at last year's Wimbledon and hopes to add to his 2014 US Open win.
"It makes me really happy, marking history at Wimbledon," said Federer.
"It's a big deal. I love this tournament. All my dreams came true here as a player. To have another chance to go for number eight now, to be so close now at this stage, is a great feeling."
There will be a British champion on Sunday, with the men's final followed by the mixed doubles final, which features top seeds Jamie Murray and Switzerland's Martina Hingis against defending champions Heather Watson and Finland's Henri Kontinen.

Federer had to wait five years to take his Grand Slam tally to 18 titles with his stunning Australian Open victory in January, and just six months later he is the favourite to make it 19.
The oldest male finalist since the 39-year-old Ken Rosewall lost to Jimmy Connors in 1974, the fact that Federer is a month short of his 36th birthday has been irrelevant to his form on court.
It is 14 years since Federer won his first major title when he beat Australia's Mark Philippoussis on Centre Court, and five since he beat Andy Murray to win his last Wimbledon title.
"I don't feel like [2012] is that long ago, to be honest," said the Swiss.
"2003 feels like ages ago, because of the ponytail, the beard, whatever, you name it. This one is different. I kind of look the same as back in 2012, or at least I hope so."
His hairstyle might have changed but Federer's game is, if anything, better than ever in his mid-30s.
He has yet to drop a set and has lost just four service games over the course of six matches at the All England Club.
Cilic will provide a familiar challenge, with Federer leading their head-to-head 6-1, but their last two meetings suggest a close final could be in prospect.
Federer fought back from two sets and three match points down to win their Wimbledon quarter-final last year, which followed Cilic's three-set demolition job on his way to winning the 2014 US Open.
"He was confident and feeling it and seeing it," recalled Federer. "It was very, very impressive."
However, the seven-time champion remains the favourite he was labelled before the tournament began.
"Unbelievably excited," is how Federer described his mood. "I hope I can play one more good match.
"Eleven finals here, all these records, it's great. But it doesn't give me the title quite yet. That's why I came here this year. I'm so close now, so I've just got to stay focused."

Cilic has come through a side of the draw where reigning champion Murray and French Open winner Rafael Nadal were fancied to battle it out for a final place, but the Croat has been the man in grass-court form.
After losing to Feliciano Lopez in the Queen's Club final having had a match point, Cilic has looked like a contender throughout Wimbledon.
He arrives in the final in second place in the aces chart with 130, but also top of the first-serve return standings.
And Cilic is taking the positives from last year's agonising loss to Federer in the quarter-finals.
"Twelve months ago, I was one point away from winning a match here against him," he said.
"Definitely I believe in my own abilities to get through and to win it. But I still know that it's a big mountain to climb.
"Roger is playing maybe some of his best tennis of his career at the moment, having a great season, so I know it's going to be a huge challenge. But I believe I'm ready."
A huge serve with an excellent return, it has been an ongoing surprise that Cilic has not threatened for Grand Slam titles more often, something many put down to his affable nature.
Cilic said: "Obviously people are asking always, 'Do you need to be more arrogant? Do you need to be more angry on the court, to be more selfish to be able to win more constantly?'
"For me, I wouldn't agree. There is not one formula for that.
"I'm still a nice guy on the court, too, I believe. You should ask players around."
His could not be more different in nature to Goran Ivanisevic, the first Croat to win Wimbledon in 2001 - a match watched at a tennis camp by the then 12-year-old Cilic.
One win from matching his former coach's achievement, Ciic said: "It would mean the world to me. It would be absolutely a dream come true to win Wimbledon."
Tim Henman, four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist:
Cilic has grass-court pedigree, he's massively confident and he's beaten Federer before. He's the underdog but will fancy his chances.
He has to got out there with a clear game plan and try to bully Federer. The more time you give Federer, the more opportunity it is for him to make you do the running.
Cilic needs to have the mindset that he's had a fantastic tournament, Federer is the favourite and he hasn't got much to lose and really go for it. He doesn't want to be passive and come off the court and wish he'd gone for it more.
John McEnroe, three-time Wimbledon champion:
Federer is playing at a far higher level than he was last year, and he's healthier and moving better. You throw in those factors and it swings heavily in his favour. It's important to point out that it's Cilic's first final here, but it's not his first Grand Slam final. Although, you play Kei Nishikori or Roger Federer, that is a huge difference mentally.
This is going to be a tall order for Cilic any way we paint it, but I believe he's got the weapons. He's got to take the racquet out of Federer's hands.
Joy Robson, 51, from Skye, died after a rally car crashed at the Snowman Rally near Inverness in February 2013.
The car struck a large rock at the side of the track, causing the driver to lose control and the Honda Civic to somersault for about 40m (131.2ft).
Investigator George Lemmon said what happened next was beyond the driver.
The car was driven by 31-year-old Graeme Schoneville, who earlier told the inquiry that it had "just somersaulted in the air" during the crash.
The inquiry heard that the car came to rest 10m (32ft) off the track, uprooting a tree which fell on Ms Robson.
Traffic officer Mr Lemmon told the fatal accident inquiry (FAI) in Edinburgh that it was not possible to say how fast the car had been travelling, but said the average target time would have been 60 to 65mph.
Asked if the driver could have "done anything to take control" after the rear wheel was broken by the stone, Mr Lemmon said: "It was completely out of his control. It had launched itself after hitting the stone.
"He's been launched by this large stone and it's simply a case of where the car comes to rest."
Mr Lemmon said he and a colleague had driven along the track, at between 20 and 30mph. He said: "I would not like to have gone much faster. Forest tracks are a different kettle of fish. Nice area for walking dogs, but not for traffic."
John Clayton, 72, was one of two marshals at the hairpin bend where the crash happened. He told the inquiry that he had contacted managers to ask that the rally be stopped as he was concerned about the "wall" of spectators gathered in the area.
Cars that had not started the race were stopped immediately, but there were already six vehicles heading for the bend. The fourth car was the one which crashed, with Mr Clayton describing a "bang" and the car "spiralling up in the air".
He said that since the crash the Snowman Rally had a much better spectator area and methods of handling spectators.
A joint FAI is being held into the death of Mrs Robson as well as the deaths of three people - Iain Provan, Elizabeth Allan and Len Stern - at the Jim Clark Rally near Coldstream in the Borders in 2014.
The inquiry continues.
The court ruled that the ban, challenged by Corinne Cestino and Sophie Hasslauer, was in keeping with the constitution.
Activists had hoped France would join states like Spain and Belgium in legalising same-sex marriage.
An opinion poll suggests most French people are in favour.
The TNS Sofres survey of 950 people suggests that 58% of French people approve while 35% oppose gay marriage.
Caroline Mecary, a lawyer for pro-gay marriage associations in France, described the court's ruling as a missed opportunity to put an end to discrimination.
But the idea that the court should rule at all on gay marriage was condemned by the leader of France's far-right National Front, Marine Le Pen.
The court, or Constitutional Council as it is formally known, reached its decision through a panel of eight judges, six men and two women.
While many European states recognise homosexual civil unions, only Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, Norway and Iceland legally acknowledge same-sex marriage.
Ms Cestino and Ms Hasslauer have lived together 15 years, are raising four children together, and already benefit from a French law recognising their partnership, but they cannot marry.
"It is not so much about getting married but about having the right to get married," Ms Cestino, a paediatrician, told the Associated Press news agency.
"So, that is what we are asking for: just to be able, like anyone else, to choose to get married or not."
At issue for the court was the legality of two articles in the civil code stipulating that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.
On a separate issue, that of whether gay couples were being discriminated against because the law treated them differently to heterosexual couples, the court ruled: "It is not up to the constitutional court to substitute its assessment for that of legislators."
Lawyers for the lesbian couple are hoping the decision will encourage lawmakers to draw up a parliamentary bill on homosexual marriage, which could make the issue an election issue next year.
Under their civil union, the lesbian couple have tax benefits and other financial advantages.
But the couple told AFP news agency: "Marriage is the only solution in terms of protecting our children, sharing parental authority, settling inheritance problems and eventual custody if one of us were to die."
After a Green Party mayor in the south-western town of Begles officiated over a wedding of two gay men in 2004, France's highest court annulled the marriage.
Ms Le Pen said she was "totally" opposed to same-sex marriage and that the French people, not the constitutional court, should decide on its validity.
She said she believed that most homosexuals did not want the right to marry either.
"The vast majority of homosexuals are not demanding the right to be different but the right to be left alone," the far-right leader said.
On a visit to India, the PM told the BBC businesses were "very keen" to strengthen their ties with Britain.
She played down the Institute for Fiscal Studies' warning about increased borrowing, saying the "fundamentals" of the economy were strong.
The IFS says future public finances have deteriorated by £25bn since March.
It said weak growth would lead to lower-than-expected tax receipts, increasing borrowing by £25bn by 2019-20.
Asked about this by BBC deputy political editor John Pienaar, Mrs May said the government was "determined to continue to live within our means", adding: "What matters is us taking the opportunities that are now open to us to develop trade around the world."
During her visit, Mrs May has faced questions about her twin goals of expanding the UK's global trade relationships after it leaves the EU while curbing migration, which the government wants to get below 100,000.
On Monday she said an expansion of the Indian visa rules would be considered if Indians who overstayed their visas in the UK could be returned more swiftly and in greater numbers.
Asked whether she was worried her crackdown on immigration could trigger a slowdown in trade negotiations, she said Indian businesses had told her they were keen to do business in the UK and that the Indian government wanted to "remove the barriers to trade and investment".
Once it leaves the EU, the UK will be able to strike its own free trade deals with other countries, with the government promising to make it a "global leader in free trade".
Such deals will involve negotiations on top of those involved with separating the UK from the EU, which are due to be triggered by the end of March 2017.
Mrs May predicted these talks would be "complex" but said she was "determined to grasp the opportunities for global Britain".
The 25-year-old re-joined the club last week after leaving Kidderminster Harriers at the end of his contract.
Rowe-Turner spent two seasons with the Gulls, having joined the club 2010 after leaving Leicester City.
"He's a rough diamond still and he's got a huge amount of potential and I back him to do extremely well," Nicholson told BBC Sport.
"Physically he's got all the attributes and he's at a stage in his career where he knows he's got to really put the work in, because he could still have a really good career ahead of him.
"When he first came in when I was here as a player I thought I could be struggling.
"I managed to fend him off but I think he's a different player now and a different character and I'm looking forward to working with him again."
Rowe-Turner replaces Dan Butler, who turned down a new contract at Torquay to join League Two side Newport County.
"We offered Dan a very good contract and the chance to progress his career here," Nicholson said.
"We thought he should have another year in our system before he tried to take a bigger step up than just one division, but the opportunity came up and he felt he had to do it.
"We wish him well, he's a great lad, I loved working with him, as did everybody here, and his attitude and performances were a big part of what we achieved last season."
The 29-year-old forward, who helped England to a series win over New Zealand on Saturday, joined the Giants from Castleford in July 2012.
Injury limited him to just 13 Super League appearances last season.
The Giants confirmed in a statement that they would not be making any further comment at this stage.
Dumfries and Galloway Council has backed Dalbeattie community council's call for a 30mph limit on a stretch of the A710.
Police favoured a 40mph limit. and opposed the lower speed on the grounds that it went against national policy.
However, a meeting of the council's economy, environment and infrastructure committee went with the 30 mph limit.
Councillors voted 15 to three in favour of the 30mph proposal.
Insp Neil Hewitson said the police objection had been to try to avoid causing an "enforcement problem" on that section of the route.
"We don't have a casualty rate for crashes in that area," he said.
"So, ostensibly, there are no problems which would cause me to have patrols patrol there in the first instance.
"I feel that by introducing a 30mph (limit) there will be a desire by the community for that to be enforced."
He stressed that they would now work with the community to make the new limit work.

Seren Bernard's body was found in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, in April 2012 but police ruled out crime.
Her mother Sarah Pollock complained to an ombudsman after the death claiming her concerns and views were ignored.
The Local Safeguarding Children Board which published the report said the death of any child was a profound loss.
The review, in which Seren was referred to as Child M, was written by an independent author provided by the British Association for Adoption and Fostering.
It said when she died she was settled in a foster placement that seemed to be meeting her needs well and was where she wanted to stay.
It added: "Following her attempted suicide in September 2011, Child M's vulnerability was such, and research regarding suicide would indicate, that a further attempt on her life was a possibility.
"However, in the days prior to her death, her mood is recorded to have lifted and her behaviour gave no indication that she was contemplating suicide.
"It must remain uncertain whether there were any steps that, if taken, would have prevented Child M's death."
The report said there were points, with the benefit of hindsight, at which different actions could have been taken by all agencies involved with Seren while making several recommendations for improvement.
These include a call for better multi-agency planning and co-operation, and to offer foster carers training to identify self-harm and suicide risks.
A spokesperson for the Local Safeguarding Children Board said: "The death of any child is a profound loss and all the professionals involved feel a deep sympathy for the child and her family.
"Lessons can always be learnt from these tragic events and all agencies on the Local Safeguarding Children Board are fully committed to implementing the recommendations made."
Ms Pollock, from Haverfordwest, has yet to comment on the review, saying she wants to take time to read it and speak to her legal advisors.
Following Seren's death in 2012, Ms Pollock told BBC Wales she used to be close to her daughter and described her as a grade A student who loved sport.
She said that about two years earlier Seren started behaving aggressively.
Ms Pollock said her daughter started smoking, drinking and playing truant. Seren's mental state had deteriorated, she added, and she tried to get counselling for her.
Ms Pollock says: "Her escalating behaviour was really attitude towards others, aggressive, which was why I requested the counsellor."
Seren rejected her, she said, and claimed she did not want to live with her mother on the grounds that she was aggressive.
"It was easy to see for everybody that this was a child going down the slope," Ms Pollock said, but she does not believe that she as her mother was the problem.
Ms Pollock said her daughter "didn't like the rules and the boundaries that were being put down" about such behaviour as smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol.
Following Seren's death Pembrokeshire council referred the matter to the Pembrokeshire Local Safeguarding Children's Board saying a child's death was "a matter of great concern and sadness" in all circumstances.
Asif Malik, 31, Sara Kiran, 29, their daughter Zoha, seven, and three sons Essa, four, Zakariya, two, and Yhaya, one, were last seen on 7 April.
Police said online rhetoric from Islamic State (IS), the family's direction of travel and concerns voiced by relatives made officers "concerned" that they were heading for Syria.
In a statement, Mr Malik's family said they were "heartbroken".
"With the reality that our loved one Asif Malik and his family have left the UK without any notice, our lives have been completely devastated," they said.
"We are totally distraught, upset and in shock. The greatest sadness is the decision by Asif and Sara to travel with their young family, such beautiful children."
In a direct plea to Mr Malik, the family added: "Please Asif, we ask you to think about what has happened and the decisions you have made. Please can you ring us or send us a message to let us know that you and the children are well."
The family, from Slough in Berkshire, were reported missing on 16 April.
They left Slough without mentioning any travel plans to relatives and boarded a ferry from Dover to Calais at 00:30 BST on 8 April, police said.
Officers believe they travelled through Europe, possibly by train, and passed through Budapest, Hungary, on or around 12 April.
There has been "no trace" of the family since then, police added.
A police spokesman earlier said there was "no suggestion [the family] were doing any fighting" in Syria, and added that he was unable to confirm whether they were sympathetic to any group fighting in the country.
BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford said it had become clear that Mr Malik had regularly attended demonstrations led by the radical preacher Anjem Choudary.
"He was part of that group around Anjem Choudary and Anjem Choudary himself has confirmed to me that he did know Asif Malik," our correspondent added.
Mr Choudary is the former UK head of the Islamist group al-Muhajiroun or Islam4UK, which was banned in 2010.
At a Thames Valley Police press conference on Sunday, acting Deputy Chief Constable John Campbell stressed police were conducting a missing persons inquiry - not a criminal investigation.
He also said there was nothing to suggest Mr Malik and Ms Kiran were anything other than loving parents.
Mr Campbell said the "general direction" of the family's travel was towards Turkey, and there was "a concern" that they may already be in Syria.
"We hope we will be disproved on that," he said.
He confirmed UK police had been in touch with Turkish authorities and the family were travelling on British passports.
"We are concerned about anyone who has or is intending to travel to the part of Syria that is controlled by the terrorist group calling themselves Islamic State.
"It is an extremely dangerous place and not a place where young children should be taken," he said.
Xinhua quoted officials who said workers were trying to repair the pipeline at the time of Friday's blast.
Pictures of the scene showed shattered concrete slabs and black smoke rising. More than 100 firefighters were involved in putting out the fire.
The pipeline is owned by Sinopec, China's largest oil refiner.
The leak was spotted early on Friday, and the explosion happened several hours later, the Qingdao government said on its official microblog.
"We will investigate the incident with responsibility and give timely reports," Sinopec said in a statement quoted by the Associated Press news agency.
A man quoted by Xinhua said he had only seen something similar to the blast "in a disaster film".
The authorities have ruled out terrorism but say the incident remains under investigation.
Correspondents say that the blast ripped roads apart, turned cars over and sent thick black smoke billowing over the eastern coastal city.
Reports say that the number of dead could rise - at least 136 people were injured.
Because the scene of Friday morning's explosion was close to the coast, barriers were been erected to stop oil leaking into the sea, reports said.
The UK's biggest commercial broadcaster said it expected to outperform the television advertising market in 2016.
Advertising revenue rose 6% to £1.72bn, with total revenue up 14% to £3.38bn.
However, total viewing across its channels fell by 3% last year, with the share for the main ITV channel falling from 15.6% to just 15%.
The broadcaster, which shows dramas such as Downton Abbey and Coronation Street, said ratings came under pressure in 2015 from the launch of new digital channels, a strong year for the BBC and a poor performance from some programmes.
Chief executive Adam Crozier said ITV had an additional 50 hours of drama in the schedules for 2016 as well as major sporting fixtures including the Euro 2016 tournament.
Shares in ITV fell 3.5% to 241p in afternoon trading in London.
Steve Clayton, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown, said its shares had done well last year, driven by an improving advertising outlook and a series of acquisitions.
"ITV looks to be in a good position; its balance sheet is sufficiently strong to keep funding the acquisition of new production houses. That gives more content to use at home and to sell abroad," he said.
"Earnings are enhanced by the deals, and ITV becomes less dependent on terrestrial advertising revenues, which are still an important source of income for the group."
ITV Studios has become a global production business with total revenue up 33% to £1.2bn and with 53% of revenues now coming from outside the UK.
Last year's acquisition of Talpa brought John de Mol onto the ITV team. He founded Endemol, which went on to develop the Big Brother reality franchise.
Sir Peter Bazalgette, the man credited with bringing Big Brother to the UK, was appointed as chairman of ITV last month.
He replaced Archie Norman, who has chaired the broadcaster since January 2010.
The former Endemol UK chairman is already a non-executive director at ITV and will take over from Mr Norman on 12 May.
ITV director of television Peter Fincham has announced he is leaving ITV and has been replaced by managing director of ITV Studios Kevin Lygo.
Julian Bellamy, managing director of ITV Studios in the UK, has succeeded Mr Lygo.
A charity backed by actor Robbie Coltrane is planning to bring the TS Queen Mary back from the Port of Tilbury in Essex.
She has been languishing at the docks for years after falling into disrepair.
Friends of TS Queen Mary plans to make her seaworthy and tow her to Glasgow.
The group, which was set up by Glasgow businessman Iain Sim, secured more than £300,000 of donations to enable the ship to undergo essential repairs.
It hopes to give the 250ft steamer a permanent berth near the Finnieston Crane in Glasgow.
But she will need a further £2m of restoration work before making her debut.
Built in 1933, The TS Queen Mary was one of the last steamships to be launched from the famous Clyde dockyards.
She sailed passengers 'doon the watter' from Glasgow to destinations such as Dunoon, Rothesay, Millport and Arran.
At the outbreak of World War Two, the steamer - known as TS Queen Mary II at the time - became a lifeline for Scotland's island communities.
While other vessels were commandeered to sweep for mines or to protect Scotland's skies from German bombers, she helped maintain a vital passenger and freight service between the mainland and the islands.
As cars became more affordable and British holiday habits changed, she was eventually retired in 1977 and spent several years as a floating restaurant.
In 2008 she was sold to a private owner but plans to restore her failed and she fell into disrepair.
The charity's patron, Robbie Coltrane, said: "It'll be absolutely fantastic to have her back where she belongs.
"Young people will be able to see just how beautiful boats were in the thirties and people my age will be able to gaze at her nostalgically. How bonnie she is."
The charity behind her return has been supported by businesses and organisations such as Forth Ports, V Ships, Ferguson Marine and The RHS Charitable Foundation run by Lord Smith of Kelvin, as well as Caledonian MacBrayne (Calmac).
Graeme MacFarlan, from Calmac, said: "The history of TS Queen Mary is very much part of our own heritage. And we are proud to be able to play a small part in bringing her home to the Clyde.
"This is a chance for everyone to be part of saving a unique piece of Clyde shipbuilding history."
Mr Sim said: "It's been a tremendous effort to fundraise such a vast amount so quickly. It wouldn't have been possible without the fantastic support from prominent businesses like CalMac and the people and communities of Scotland.
"With an estimated £2m required to fully restore and refurbish her, the hard work will really start in earnest when she returns home.
"It's exhausting to think about it but we've come so far so fast and we're absolutely determined. With the people and businesses of Scotland behind us, I'm confident we'll succeed."
Hart, 29, joined the Serie A club on a season-long loan in August after being told he was free to leave City by manager Pep Guardiola.
The England goalkeeper has said he is "surplus to requirements" at City.
"Hart wants to stay at Torino but we are all aware, both him and the club, we can't buy him," Mihajlovic said.
The Serb told Gazzetta dello Sport: "At the most we could take him on loan for another year but that depends on both Manchester City and him.
"We will need to know if Hart is going to be here next year because if he's not then we'll need to change the way we play."
In March, Hart told the BBC's Premier League Show that he does not see himself playing for City again, adding that a return to the Premier League was not top of his wish list.
Hart, who has played for England 70 times, has had "no communication with anyone" about a transfer after his loan spell at Torino ends in May.
Speaking on Thursday, Guardiola refused to discuss if Hart could have his loan spell extended in Turin.
"At the end of the season we are going to speak about the players who are under contract next year and about the loan players," he said.
Hart's 33-year-old replacement, Claudio Bravo, has been criticised by fans for his performances since his £15.4m arrival from Barcelona in August. Willy Caballero, 35, has featured in the squad for Premier League and Champions League matches since 21 January.
But Bravo was restored to the starting line-up for City's win against Hull last weekend. City play Southampton at 17:30 BST on Saturday.
"Every weekend I will decide who is in goal, " added the Catalan manager. "Last week I decided on Claudio.
"It depends on if the opponent makes a lot of high pressing or not and what I see in the training session. I have confidence with both. We will see."
In the year to May house price inflation fell to 3.3%, down from 3.8% in the year to April.
Over the last three months there has been virtually no change in prices, the Halifax said.
Since March property prices have fallen by 0.2%. This was only the second quarterly drop since November 2012.
However between April and May, prices actually rose by 0.4%.
That is in contrast to recent figures from rival lender Nationwide, which said that prices had fallen every month since March.
The average cost of a house or flat in the UK is now £220,706, according to the Halifax research.
Martin Ellis, Halifax housing economist, said the shortage of property on the market was likely to keep prices buoyant over the rest of the summer.
"The fact that the supply of new homes and existing properties available for sale remains low, combined with historically low mortgage rates and a high employment rate, is likely to support house price levels over the coming months."
However Howard Archer, chief economic adviser to the EY ITEM Club, said prices were likely to come under further pressure.
"The fundamentals for house buyers are likely to deteriorate further over the coming months with consumers' purchasing power squeezed further by a combination of higher inflation and muted earnings growth," he said.
"It is also possible that the labour market could increasingly falter despite its current resilience."
The Halifax said housing supply remained very low, with the number of properties coming onto the market falling for 14 months in a row.
However it noted there had been a rise in private sector house-building at the start of 2017.
Where Can I afford to live?
It is a case where the need for national security rubs up against the UK's legal duties to protect the human rights of suspects.
So what brought us to this point - and what are the issues?
Eight years ago, a Siac judge ruled Omar Othman, to use his real name, was a "truly dangerous individual... at the centre in the United Kingdom of terrorist activities associated with Al Qa'ida".
Abu Qatada has never been charged with a criminal offence in the UK. That may strike people as odd - but the case against him is largely based on secret material gathered by MI5 which cannot be used in criminal trials. The government, instead, sought to deport the preacher.
Someone who is deemed dangerous to the UK does not need to be convicted of a crime to be deported. The Home Secretary Theresa May eventually convinced the courts that the preacher's presence was not conducive to the public good and judges said he could, in principle, be removed.
But the question remained whether he could be deported to Jordan given its much criticised record on human rights.
The preacher had already been convicted in absentia in relation to two terror plots - and he would be retried for the same offences if returned.
His lawyers said he could be tortured. Secondly, the retrial would be unfair because the key evidence came from men who only pointed the finger at the cleric while Jordan's secret police were torturing them.
The government solved the first problem by convincing judges, including the European Court of Human Rights, that a Memorandum of Understanding from Jordan guaranteed Abu Qatada would be treated properly.
But in January this year, the government lost on the second critical complaint that he would not get a fair trial because Strasbourg decided (largely echoing the UK's own Court of Appeal) that the original torture evidence would be used against the cleric.
Strasbourg said it was unconvinced Jordan's legal guarantees against torture evidence would have "any real practical value".
And so, in the absence of any assurance from Jordan on this point, the deportation was off. Cue a media firestorm and weeks of frantic talks between the UK and Jordan over how to solve the situation.
Once Mrs May thought she had a deal with Jordan guaranteeing a fair trial for the preacher, she had to present it to Siac to see if deportation could now be approved, in line with Strasbourg's conditions.
And that is basically what this case is now about. It's not Abu Qatada on trial - but Jordan's legal system.
So has the UK got what it needs?
During two weeks of hearings last month, Mrs May's lawyers told Siac there was now ample documentary evidence proving Qatada would get a fair trial.
The home secretary's lawyers emphasised the Jordanians have enshrined into their constitution an "express prohibition on the admissibility of evidence obtained as a result of torture". They stressed the judges at the State Security Court would be civilian, not military.
The men said to have been tortured into implicating Abu Qatada would be expected to give fresh evidence at retrial - in which they could explain how they were tortured - putting their original tainted statements in context.
But Abu Qatada's lawyers say nothing has changed. In tense questioning of the lead British diplomat, Anthony Layden, it emerged Jordanian ministers would not give a specific assurance on what exactly would happen to the original torture-tainted statements.
Jordan's ministers kept saying that would be a matter for the trial judges. These judges would be able to call the witnesses afresh and dismiss the original statements.
Edward Fitzgerald QC, counsel for the cleric, repeatedly said the UK had achieved nothing new to satisfy Strasbourg's expectations. There was not a single piece of paper declaring the original evidence would be banned from trial, he argued.
So on the one hand there is the government saying it has gone to exhaustive lengths to prove Abu Qatada will be treated justly. It says Jordan is a country that will stick to its word because it has a reform-minded pro-West King and it doesn't want to be part of the international club of states that abuse human rights.
But on the other hand, there is the long-standing opposition of judges to any whiff of torture and questions over whether the UK has got anywhere near to the assurances European judges want.
That judicial opposition to torture evidence didn't just spring from the European Convention of Human Rights.
The Strasbourg judges pointed out in their January judgement that the British courts historically opposed torture evidence long before the convention was written.
They quoted the late Lord Bingham, who said in a 2005 judgement that such evidence was "unreliable, unfair, offensive to ordinary standards of humanity and decency and incompatible with the principles which should animate a tribunal seeking to administer justice".
It was a very deliberate reference. They were arguing it is the British rule of law, not just Europe's, that expects Abu Qatada to remain in the UK - and he shouldn't be deported until we are sure that Jordan has cleaned up its act, no matter how politically painful that may be.
Make no mistake. Monday's decision on whether the radical cleric can be deported to Jordan is an extremely difficult one for any judge.
The Bears are 85-9, still 123 behind Yorkshire's 381, after Coad and David Willey reduced them to 7-5.
A rain delay looked to have ended the day, but when play resumed Coad removed William Porterfield to allow Yorkshire to take the extra half hour.
In poor light Yorkshire could only bowl spin and must wait for their first win.
It will be a second innings defeat in as many weeks for Warwickshire, who were crushed at Surrey on the opening weekend.
Bowled out for 91 and 178 this term, their top order was decimated as Coad and Willey exploited grey, damp conditions with relentless accuracy and hostility.
Both men swung the ball while 23-year-old Coad, playing only his fifth first-class match, found both extra bounce and movement off the seam.
It was Willey who struck first, having Alex Mellor caught at first slip by Tim Bresnan and then, from the next delivery, pinning Jonathan Trott lbw.
Coad found bite to take the shoulder of Ian Bell's bat and, in the space of three deliveries bowled a shotless Sam Hain and trapped Tim Ambrose leg before. Of the first five wickets to fall, no batsman made more than one.
Warwickshire were six down when play stopped for two hours, with 10.2 overs scheduled when it resumed.
Keith Barker edged Steven Patterson behind and, when Coad had Porterfield held at first slip, he had his second five-wicket haul in the match, his 18th scalp of the season and Yorkshire were permitted extra time to force victory.
But with the gloom closing in and Jeetan Patel holding firm, the Tykes were forced to bowl spin pair Adil Rashid and Adam Lyth.
Though Rashid bowled Chris Wright, last man Oliver Hannon-Dalby hung around long enough for the light to end the day.
Warwickshire first-team coach Jim Troughton:
"We are very disappointed. It just hasn't clicked for us going into the season. The guys were well-prepared but, as a batting unit, we just haven't been able to withstand any kind of pressure.
"We have a lot of questions to ask ourselves individually and collectively as to how we are going to address that and get through those difficult periods.
"We are not giving our bowlers anything to bowl at so, straight away, we are behind the eight-ball. In both games we have lost clusters of wickets and you can't afford to do that."
Yorkshire captain Gary Ballance:
"The guys batted very well to get us a lead of just over 200, which was perfect. We put a lot of pressure on them. Then, the way the guys bowled, Dave and Coady set it up brilliantly.
"I've seen Ben bowl for the last two months, and I knew that he could bowl well and put in good performances. But, honestly, I can't say I would have seen him doing this well.
"He's done it by getting top players out. It's deserved. The hard work he's put in is paying off now. You don't expect someone to come in for their second Championship game and tear it up like he is."
The 23-year-old was taken by helicopter to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where her condition is not known.
Fire crews were called to the blaze at a property in Lochlea Drive, Ayr, just after 16:00.
Three fire engines were sent to the scene but the flames were extinguished before the crews arrived. Police are investigating the incident.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Emergency services attended and the woman was taken by heli-med to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment.
"Her current condition is unknown. Nobody else was injured and inquiries are at early stage to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident."
With Burton losing 2-1 at Rochdale the Gils would have gone top, but instead Redshaw moved Blackpool five points clear of the relegation zone.
The only goal came when Mark Yeates was fouled by Max Ehmer in the area and Redshaw slotted home from the spot.
Tom Aldred cleared an Ehmer strike off the line as Blackpool held on to record a third consecutive home clean sheet.
The result means Gillingham stay second, three points behind Burton, while Blackpool move up to 18th.
Footage showed protesters surrounding the van and hitting it with batons taken from police. The vehicle then drives into the crowd several times, injuring a number of people.
Hundreds had met to demand the US end its military presence in the country.
President Rodrigo Duterte has queried long-standing ties with the US.
Duterte in China: Conciliator-in-chief?
Police arrested at least 23 people, who threw red paint at them and a member of the US forces at the embassy.
Tear gas was used against the demonstrators, after they broke through a line of riot police. They also took control of the water hose of a fire truck being used to douse them and threw stones at police.
It remains unclear how many people were injured by the police van and how serious their injuries are.
Television footage of the incident shows the van driving into people at speed. At one point it knocks over a woman and drags her body along the road. The van brakes and she appears to scramble away.
Renato Reyes of the left-wing activist group Bayan said at least three people were taken to hospital after being rammed by the van.
"Even as the president avowed an independent foreign policy, Philippines police forces still act as running dogs of the US," he said, adding there was "no justification" for the police violence.
A spokesperson for the US embassy told the BBC it had "seen reports" of injuries, but declined to comment further, directing inquiries to police.
President Duterte is in Beijing, seeking to deepen ties and economic relations with China. Bilateral relations were strained under his predecessor over acrimonious territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
Relations with the US, a longstanding ally, have deteriorated in recent months over Mr Duterte's controversial war on drugs.
The US has questioned the crackdown, which has led to the deaths of 2,300 people. In response, Mr Duterte has insulted US President Barack Obama and the US ambassador to the Philippines.
Wang Sijun, who teaches at a university in Sichuan province, has been giving tardy students a complex character to write out on paper 1,000 times.
The Chinese character for "biang", is made up of 56 pen strokes.
The word holds no meaning but local media said Mr Wang drew inspiration for it from the name of a noodle dish he had while visiting Shaanxi province.
The Chengdu Economic Daily newspaper reported that two unfortunate students had received the penalty so far.
The first student said she could not continue writing the word after the 200th time as it became "so tiring".
In the end, she had asked Prof Wang to commute the punishment, and promised that she would never be late for class again.
The second latecomer volunteered instead, to draw one hundred Terracotta Warriors, also a specialty from Shaanxi. He took more than four hours to finish his drawings.
Chinese characters are often rated among the most difficult languages in the world to write and master.
They are made up of simple strokes, variations of eight basic ones, which are combined into characters. Those in turn, are used to form words and sentences.
Experts often say that the only effective way to master the art of writing Chinese is by repetition.
So students frequently practise handwriting exercises, writing out multiple lines of Chinese characters by hand.
Following news of the professor's punishment, the "biang" character has spread widely online.
On Chinese social media, many netizens exchanged praise for the professor's "creative" form of punishment.
"One look at that and I won't ever be late for class again," commented one user on popular micro-blogging platform Weibo.
"This sounds like an interesting and refreshing mode of punishment," said Luying Yang, a teacher on Weibo.
Another said: "The professor was not asking for too much from his students to not arrive late for class - so I think this was actually quite a reasonable penalty. The word looks painful to write but it was not an outrageous punishment overall."
Mei Wei Zhu said the punishment could have been worse: "Imagine if he made them write out their punishment in traditional calligraphy."
Chloe Cowan, 20, from Margate in Kent, pleaded guilty to stalking involving serious alarm or distress at an earlier hearing at Canterbury Crown Court.
She had posed as one of the toddler's killers and as his ghost in the tweets.
Cowan was given a restraining order, prohibiting her from making any contact with James' parents or their family.
In addition, she was banned for 10 years from using any device with internet capability without it being able to store the history of its use.
Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS South East, Jaswant Narwal, said Cowan had "targeted and tormented" the two-year-old's mother with "cruel tweets".
James was murdered in 1993 by schoolboys Jon Venables and Robert Thompson after they abducted him from a shopping centre in Bootle, on Merseyside.

Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan were removed for "gross indiscipline and anti-party activities", the party said in a statement.
The party also expelled senior members Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha.
The AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) staged a spectacular victory in the Delhi assembly in February.
Led by Arvind Kejriwal, a former tax inspector who reinvented himself as a corruption buster, the party won 67 of the 70 assembly seats in India's capital in what was a huge setback for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mr Kejriwal promised to bring in good governance, end corruption and make Delhi safe for women.
But the party has since suffered from infighting, reportedly between Kejriwal supporters and more left-leaning factions.
The decision to sack the rebels was taken late on Monday night after the party said it was not satisfied with the explanations they had given about their "anti-party activities".
A statement by the party said it had "carefully considered" their responses but found them "unsatisfactory", accusing them of "gross indiscipline and anti-party activities".
Mr Yadav said he was upset by the decision.
"I am not surprised as from the past few days the matter was moving in such direction. Though I also cannot deny the fact that I am hurt by it. How would you feel if someone drags and throws you out of your own house?" he told reporters.
It is not clear whether the rebels will now form a new party.
Mr Yadav and Mr Bhushan had been earlier dropped from the party's main decision-making committee after criticising Mr Kejriwal.
The pair, who are seen as leftists, had been at loggerheads with Mr Kejriwal over his leadership style.
Mr Bhushan had said that the party was at risk of becoming a "one-man show" and admitted there had been a "breakdown of communication" with Mr Kejriwal.
The AAP - whose party symbol is a broom - was born out of a strong anti-corruption movement that swept India two years ago.
Coach James Webster has also included forwards Graeme Horne and James Greenwood, despite them picking up injuries in the win over Salford.

Mr Erdogan is leading a delegation of businessmen in talks expected to focus on economic ties.
But discussions may also cover Turkey's controversial plans to buy a Chinese long-range missile system.
His visit comes after recent diplomatic tensions over China's treatment of its Muslim Uighur people who have close cultural and religious ties with Turks.
About 100 Turkish business leaders and investors are accompanying Mr Erdogan on the visit which ends on Thursday.
The BBC's John Sudworth in Beijing says the visit is a reflection of the growing importance of a trade relationship now worth about $24bn (£15.4bn) a year.
But Turkey's current border crisis with Syria may give renewed impetus to its on-again-off-again deal to buy a Chinese long-range missile system, a plan that has caused alarm among other Nato members, says our correspondent.
The state visit also comes a few weeks after protests, some violent, in Istanbul and Ankara over what are perceived as heavy-handed restrictions by Beijing on its Uighur population.
The protests were sparked by the deportation of a group of Muslim Uighurs from Thailand to China - a move that rights groups criticised saying Uighurs face persecution in China - as well as reports that China had banned Uighurs from fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.
China has denied such reports, and said the deportees were illegal migrants.
Who are the Uighurs?
Why is there tension between China and the Uighurs?
But the Argyle boss, who has led his club to next Monday's League Two play-off final, says any move to a structure that has five divisions made up of 20 teams must be looked at carefully.
"There's no doubt from a coaching point of view having 38 games rather than 46 is beneficial to a manager," he said.
"But it's not beneficial to the revenue of a football club."
He added to BBC Sport: "They're going to miss out on four home games, so to speak, so that's where it becomes a wee bit difficult."
Under the proposals, which were unveiled by the Football League last week, an additional division would be created if 90% of the organisation's 72 clubs agree to the plans at the 2017 annual meeting.
If they go ahead there would be no relegation from the current League Two in the 2018-19 season and eight teams would join from the National League. | Jamie Fullarton spent 11 years working towards becoming a manager, but the preparation could never have been extensive enough.

Owners of St Andrew Square, where the festival venue has been since 2014, want to return the area to a "relaxation space".
Essential Edinburgh, which manages the garden, said the owners wanted to have activity that "did not adversely impact on the look and feel of the space".
The 97-year-old tent's owner, David Bates, criticised the decision as "ill-considered".
Roddy Smith, chief executive of Essential Edinburgh, said: "We have been in discussion with City of Edinburgh Council and the owners of the Garden for some time about its ongoing use.
"These discussions have been aimed at finding a balanced and sustainable way of managing the use of the garden for the future.
"Everyone agrees that the garden is a superb green space in the heart of the city to be enjoyed by local people, visitors and those who work in the city centre all year round.
"In other words, it is a space for relaxation, as well as providing a pleasing interlude in the pedestrian journey through the city centre.
"There was unanimous agreement that - at appropriate times of the year - the garden will be animated with high-quality activity that will not adversely impact on the look and feel of the space, and that activity will be designed to minimise disruption to the garden."
Mr Bates said: "Final word that The famous Spiegeltent is no longer welcome in St Andrew Square was only received this month and despite intensive lobbying to the Edinburgh City Council and Essential Edinburgh, no viable alternative site has yet been confirmed.
"Consequently, major programming has already been forced to register with alternative venues, major international artists are no longer available, Fringe deadlines have passed, and availability of contractors, staff, equipment and infrastructure is severely compromised - after 33 years, and in the 70th anniversary of the Edinburgh Festivals, it looks like time has finally run out for Edinburgh's Grand Old Dame.
The fire service said it was proposing to cut four full-time posts from the current 27 positions.
Area manager Owen Hayward said it was hoped the cuts would not be compulsory and a consultation was under way.
The fire service said improved control room technology meant there was a reduction in control room staff work.
The measures should provide savings of £400,000 per year, it is claimed.
Mr Hayward said that under the proposals, three staff would be on duty at all times, rather than between three and five at present.
Nottinghamshire Police has been investigating abuse in the county's care homes since 2010, and 263 victims have reported offences so far.
The inquiry will also look at children cared for by foster carers and adoptive parents.
The councils involved have both welcomed the inquiry.
Nottinghamshire County Council and Nottingham City Council said in a statement: "From the outset, we have taken these allegations seriously, some of which date back to the 1940s when predecessor organisations were in charge of children's homes.
"We welcome the independent scrutiny that the Goddard Inquiry (Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse) will bring to cases of historical sexual abuse and will engage fully with it."
Complainants from Nottinghamshire include actress Samantha Morton, who said she was sexually abused by two residential care workers in a Nottingham children's home.
The offences reported in the county are not all of a sexual nature.
However, the Goddard inquiry will focus on the "sexual abuse and exploitation" of children in care, and will investigate the extent of any "institutional failures" of the councils to protect children from this.
The Goddard inquiry was expected to come to Nottinghamshire. We knew that they were aware of the scale of abuse here as we met with them earlier in the year to discuss how survivors were going to be engaged with.
The big difference it will make is that the inquiry intends to highlight any failings made within the local authorities and services and will be more thorough than just an investigation of a crime.
My own experiences included being sexually abused in my home as a child and then in a children's home that I was in where I was prostituted as a child.
Having worked with survivors of abuse since 1986 I am very aware of the many thousands of survivors who have been ignored and re-abused by the failings of local authorities and services over many decades.
Even inspectors of care homes who were bringing up problems were harassed and forced out of the system.
East Midlands Survivors on Facebook
Nottinghamshire will be one of 12 separate investigations in England and Wales.
Nottinghamshire's Chief Constable Chris Eyre and Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping have held discussions with the inquiry team over the last eight months to encourage it to focus on Nottinghamshire.
Mr Tipping said in a statement: "This is a huge step in the right direction and I'm really grateful that the Goddard team has listened to our appeals for Nottinghamshire to become part of the national inquiry.
"I have met a good many of the survivors and they have impressed upon me the importance of this inquiry and their wish to have the opportunity to tell their story and to have that story heard."
He encouraged any victims of abuse to come forward and go to police if they have not done so already.
IAG posted a pre-tax profit for July to September of €1.1bn ($1.2bn; £792m), up 48% from last year.
The company owns British Airways, Iberia, Vueling, and bought Aer Lingus earlier this year.
IAG announced on Thursday that it would be paying its first dividend, which will be 10 euro cents per share.
It has not paid a dividend since the company was created in 2011 by the merger of BA and Iberia.
It has slightly raised its forecast for operating profits for the full year to a range of €2.25bn to €2.3bn, having previously said it would be over €2.2bn.
Analysts had been expecting strong results from the airline group and shares fell 4% in early trading in London,
Chief executive Willie Walsh said: "We're reporting strong quarter results with a positive contribution from all of our airlines."
On Thursday, Air France-KLM and Lufthansa both reported improving results.
The airline sector has been boosted by low fuel prices and recovering demand for air travel.
The region have won just twice this season, both times against Italian opposition, and find themselves second bottom in the Pro12 table.
They face Ospreys in a Welsh derby on Saturday and Wilson says rebuilding will take time to get right.
"Knee jerk reactions don't lead to long term success," said the former Dragons and Scarlets assistant coach.
Wilson left the role of Bristol forwards coach to take over at the Arms Park in the summer.
He has also coached Wales Under-20 and promises to make changes needed at the Blues, but warned it is "a patience game".
"The long-term plans and goals are part of our discussions with the players signing for the club, whether they're re-signing or are new players," he said.
"We here know... what we need to change and bring long-term success to this region.
"Sometimes it's hard. We all lack patience including myself, but it is a patience game.
"We've got to get through certain things and through certain times now that will help us in the future.
"We've made changes to the way we train and the working week and so on.
"Now we've got to make changes in all aspects of our current performance end of the game."
Blues will be without flanker Ellis Jenkins for the Ospreys game because of a knee ligament injury, but Josh Navidi does have a chance of being fit.
Wilson says individual errors have been their particular downfall this season, but the whole squad will do all they can to eradicate them.
"It's not just training - there's the whole off-field approach to the game as well as on the field, there's a number of things that change in an environment to get to where you want to get to," he added.
"But, as you know, the most successful environments in business and in sport take time to get to. They don't happen overnight.
"We'll get there, but it will take time."
Shares in gunmaker Smith & Wesson rose to their highest value since 1999 ahead of the President's announcement.
On Monday, Smith & Wesson raised its sales estimate, saying the market was "stronger than originally anticipated".
The number of background checks on potential buyers - a guide to future sales - has also risen.
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System said that checks were up by about 38% last month compared with December 2014.
Smith & Wesson's trading update said that for the three months ending 31 January it expected sales to be about $175m-$180m. Earlier guidance put the likely figure at between $150m and $155m.
The company said that "the sell-through rate of its products at distribution has been stronger than originally anticipated, resulting in reduced distributor inventories of its firearms". That means guns are being bought faster than Smith & Wesson is supplying them.
The firm said its net profit was $14.2m (£9.46m) for the period, compared with $5.2m for the same period last year.
In December, the company reported that profits had nearly tripled for the three months to October and net sales have increased 38% over the last five years.
On Monday, the White House unveiled proposals for gun control measures that require more sellers to get licences and more gun buyers to undergo background checks.
The US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will require that people who sell guns at stores, at gun shows or over the internet be licensed and conduct checks,
The bureau is also finalising a rule requiring background checks for buyers of dangerous weapons from a trust, corporation or other legal entity. President Obama is due to disclose further details about the plans on Tuesday.
The president has said he will curb gun violence and unregulated sales after a series of mass shootings, which included last month's attack in San Bernardino, California, that killed 14 people.
James Hardiman, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, said the increase in gun sales was probably due to buyers fearing tougher controls.
News of the stronger gun market saw Smith & Wesson's shares up 11% on Tuesday, despite stock markets in general falling sharply. Competitor Sturm Ruger's share rose 7.28% to a 52-week high.

A total of 11.1m people watched Jason Kenny win keirin cycling gold on BBC One, while BBC Two and BBC Four had their highest viewing figures of 2016.
BBC Sport's online coverage set new records, reaching 68.3m devices in the United Kingdom, and 102.3m globally.
The biggest single day for digital traffic was Sunday, 14 August - with 19m unique browsers across the world.
That date became known as 'Super Sunday' after Great Britain won five gold medals, making it the country's most successful day at an overseas Olympics.
Cyclist Mark Cavendish helped BBC Two reach a peak audience of 7.5m when he won silver in the omnium on Monday, 15 August, while BBC Four drew in a 2016 high of 3.4m viewers.
Britain were second in the medal table in Rio, with 27 gold medals, 23 silvers and 17 bronzes, as they finished behind only the United States.
Barbara Slater, the BBC director of sport, said: "We are delighted that so many people came to the BBC for our Olympics coverage and joined us in celebrating the extraordinary success of Team GB.
"We are incredibly proud to bring moments of national significance such as these magnificent Games to the widest possible audience."
A total of 29.3m global browsers have followed the Games in Rio via live pages on the BBC Sport website and app with streams, text updates, clips, medal tables, schedules and catch-up.
No fewer than 30.2m UK browsers have streamed the action on BBC iPlayer and on BBC Sport. The most popular streamed event was the men's singles tennis final, in which 1.9m browsers followed Britain's Andy Murray as he retained his Olympic title by beating Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina.
The total of 'unique browsers' is calculated by the number of devices - televisions, computers, mobile phones and so on - being used to view online coverage, which is why it was possible for the UK digital audience to total 68.3m, even though that is greater than the country's population.
Ben Gallop, BBC Sport's head of digital and radio, said: "With Team GB performing heroics, we wanted to deliver all the medal moments and breathtaking action to audiences wherever they were online - and in doing so we're delighted BBC Sport has cemented its position as the number one digital destination for sport."

MPs who backed Mr Compaore's unconstitutional bid last year to extend his 27-year rule would be barred from office, the law states.
The vote comes after the arrest this week of several allies of Mr Compaore.
The former president was deposed after violent mass protests in October.
For the latest news, views and analysis see the BBC Africa Live page.
The West African state is currently being led by an interim government, which is hoping to organise presidential and parliamentary elections in October. They will be the first elections since the overthrow of Mr Compaore.
The former ruling party, the Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP), has opposed the new law.
A spokesman for the party, Boubacar Bouda, told the BBC that it was waiting to see if it was unconstitutional.
Three former ministers are among the eight allies of Mr Compaore whose arrests have been confirmed by the authorities. They include the former ministers of interior, mining and infrastructure - Jerome Bougouma, Salif Kabore and Jean-Bertin Ouedraogo respectively.
The police said on Tuesday that they were investigating the three ministers for "alleged embezzlement".
Meanwhile, unions have called for a general strike over high living costs.
It is a four word description that a friend of more than twenty years says best sums up Lord Adonis, the peer who has been appointed by the Chancellor George Osborne as the head of the new National Infrastructure Commission (NIC).
Andrew Adonis is not your typical politician.
His political career began as a councillor for the Social Democratic Party in the 1980s, a new outfit formed by Labour types who felt their party was drifting too far to the left.
He later became a Liberal Democrat and was selected to fight a parliamentary seat for them, before quitting and joining the Labour Party.
He became Tony Blair's head of policy, was given a seat in the House of Lords as Lord Adonis of Camden Town, and then became a schools minister and then transport secretary.
But he will now sit on the crossbenches in the House of Lords - alongside independent peers, without a party political affiliation - whilst he chairs the NIC.
It is a CV which suggests a loose affiliation to any political party, although his friends point out he remains a member of the Labour Party even though he won't be sitting with his Labour colleagues in the Upper House.
"There's an overlap between those on the left wing of the Conservative Party and those on the right wing of the Labour Party. He is right in the middle of that," his friend adds.
Others who have known him for a similar length of time reflect a similar sentiment.
"He's not a tribalist. He brings an almost unique combination into politics," Stephen Pollard, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, explains.
Lord Adonis was Mr Pollard's tutor at Oxford University, and the two men went on to write a book "A Class Act: The Myth of Britain's Classless Society," in 1997.
"Andrew is an academic with an academic's outlook, but with huge political and practical antennae," Stephen Pollard adds.
"He is almost unique in the combinations he brings, the political, the intellectual and being obsessed with doing things. He loves policy and delivery and has a very pragmatic approach," he says.
But his lack of tribal instinct unnerves some of his Labour colleagues.
When the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, probably never described by anyone as a centrist, described Lord Adonis as "a bit of a political chameleon", it didn't sound like it was meant as a compliment.
But Mr McDonnell did reflect what plenty of Lord Adonis's friends say too: "I think he just wants to get on with the job."
His enthusiasm in government for giving schools freedom from local authority control, the academies programme, provoked scepticism from some Labour colleagues, but praise from his opponents.
When he became Transport Secretary in 2008 and so stopped being a schools minister, both Michael Gove for the Conservatives and David Laws for the Liberal Democrats worried that that might spell the end, or at least the watering down, of the pace of schools reform - reform that was embraced and then turbo charged when Mr Gove and Mr Laws became education secretary and education minister respectively in the coalition government.
"He is the most effective minister I ever worked with," Lord Knight, a former Labour education minister says.
"He is very effective at getting things delivered. He is the right appointment for this job. This Commission was Labour's idea in the first place, so he would have been a great candidate to do the job if we had been elected too," he added.
And yes, it is not just Lord Adonis who is comfortable with an element of political cross dressing.
The man who has given him his new job, the Chancellor George Osborne, is too - swiping the idea of the National Infrastructure Commission from page 19 of Labour's election manifesto.
"We will set up an independent National Infrastructure Commission to assess how best to meet Britain's infrastructure needs," it read.
Having been announced as the chair of the new Commission at the start of the Conservative Party Conference - an announcement the timing of which is dripping in politics - Lord Adonis has decided to stay away from the cameras this week as best he can, and not give any interviews.
But his friends sum up what motivates him.
"I think Andrew found the period when the coalition government was in power very frustrating," Stephen Pollard says.
"He wanted to do something to help and probably thought it was pretty centrist, and he could work with it, but, as a Labour peer, he couldn't."
But now, he has found a way to do what his admirers say he does best - get stuck into the detail, and try to get things done, even if Labour are in opposition.
Many activists saw him as a godfather for their cause, and have paid tribute to a man who was branded a criminal by Chinese authorities for his activism and jailed several times for "subversion".
One source of inspiration was the well-documented love between Liu Xiaobo and his wife, Liu Xia, who has also been placed under house arrest.
This image of them, which was circulated recently by their activist friends, particularly resounded with many.
It has prompted several artworks paying tribute to their love, such as this one by political artist Badiucao, entitled The Patient of China.
The Australia-based artist also put up a version of the work on a wall on Hosier Lane in Melbourne on Wednesday, calling for Mr Liu's release.
Prominent political cartoonist Rebel Pepper drew and tweeted an alternative take on the photo.
Chinese cartoonist Xiaoguai also drew inspiration from the same picture and tweeted this image of two candles symbolising the couple.
In 2010, Mr Liu was not allowed to travel to Sweden to receive his Nobel Peace Prize.
An image of his empty chair has been inspiration for artists - such as in this work by Badiucao.
Rebel Pepper meanwhile drew a tribute to the chair with Liu Xiaobo's striped pyjamas.
In Hong Kong, where activists had been calling for Mr Liu's release, 17-year-old student Anson Hui told AFP news agency earlier this week that he feared what Mr Liu's death would mean.
"I feel scared. If we lose Liu Xiaobo, nobody could replace him... If there's no Liu Xiaobo we can't unite the whole world to speak out.
"The world will lose a spiritual leader."
Recent law changes have seen lobbying registers created in Scotland and at a UK level, but Wales does not have such a system.
The assembly's standards committee is currently probing lobbying in light of the changes.
But the outgoing standards commissioner Gerard Elias has said he has had no complaints about lobbying in Wales.
Lobbyists are companies or individuals paid to influence government decisions.
Plaid Cymru AM Neil McEvoy used an assembly debate earlier this year to call for lobbying in Wales to be regulated and for lobbyists to be required to register.
He argued regulation would ensure a transparent culture in the assembly so it is known for whom commercial lobbyists work.
His party group has now agreed for his calls for a register, with his office saying Plaid Cymru will call for the inquiry to recommend an official register of lobbyists.
In 2013, the then assembly standards committee concluded AMs should face tighter scrutiny but not a full official register.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "While the standards commissioner has recently said he has had no complaints about lobbying in Wales, we welcome the inquiry and will respond positively to any recommendations."
First Minster Carwyn Jones has said lobbyists do not have access to Welsh ministers.
Assembly members on the committee agreed to hold a written consultation on the issue at its meeting earlier in November.

Carolyn Harris's son Martin died in a road accident in Swansea in 1989. A whip-round among friends raised £1,000 from friends but the Swansea East MP had to take out a bank loan to pay for the rest of the funeral.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn asked Theresa May to tell councils to scrap charges for the burial of infants.
The prime minister said help was available through a social fund for funerals.
Firearms offences had dropped over the past 10 years but the problem was back, said David Jamieson.
Deputy Chief Constable Dave Thompson said he had not known such frequent shootings during his five years with the West Midlands force.
Overall, gun crime figures dropped from 524 in 2014 to 357 in 2015, figures show, but there has been a fresh spike.
Updates on this story and more from Birmingham
A recent spate of attacks in areas such as Handsworth, Lozells and Hockley was causing concern, said police.
"It's fair to say that the problem has come back and we need to re-double our efforts," Mr Thompson told West Midlands Strategic Policing and Crime Board on Tuesday.
"We have had some very serious incidents and there has been a concerning regularity of shootings that I have not seen in the five years that I have been here.
"There is a concern from me that there are more weapons or more ammunition available."

West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Mr Jamieson told BBC WM's special programme on gun crime: "Over a 10-year period there's been a reduction in the number of crimes with guns in the West Midlands.
"There's a spike upwards and this of course is a great concern to the people in that part of Birmingham... the thing that has to happen in that area is getting the communities to work together to get to the very source.
"This gang culture - one group of people, often involving drugs and criminality, who are fighting each other - that's the thing the local community have to tackle with the police."
Goals from Lukas Schubert, Ronan Curtis, Aaron McEneff and Rory Holden clinched the victory to keep the Candystripes in fifth place.
Schubert headed in the first in the 32nd minute and Curtis drilled in the second on 62 minutes.
McEneff made it three with a penalty before Rory Holden came on as a sub to score his first goal for City.
Derry are now one point behind Shamrock Rovers and two behind third-placed Bray Wanderers.
Sunday's game came just three days after Derry's 10-2 aggregate defeat by Danish side FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Despite that experience, Derry are determined to get back into European football next year and this win over a ragged Rovers keeps them right in the mix.
Derry were on top for most of the match against Sligo who have not won on the road in the league this year.
Although boosted by a home win over Shamrock Rovers, Gerard Lyttle's men failed to make an impression at Buncrana.
Schubert, whose only goal of the season had been on the first day of the season, nodded in the opening goal after the ball spun up in his favour.
Sligo keeper Micheal Schlingermann made a string of fine saves to keep Sligo in the match but there was nothing he could do when the ball fell for Curtis who chested down to drill in his sixth goal of the season.
McEneff netted a 74th-minute penalty after Ben Doherty was fouled by defender Kyle Callan-McFadden.
Then 19-year-old Holden beat three players and finished superbly on 84 for his first goal in Candystripe colours.
The 37-year-old was arrested on suspicion of stealing from heritage and protected sites after the items were discovered at an address in Little Linford Lane, in September.
Objects were taken to a park to be destroyed.
Munitions had also been found in Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire.
Glasgow Warriors back row Strauss, 28, and 29-year-old Edinburgh prop Nel will qualify to play for Scotland later this year under residency rules.
Scarlets flanker Barclay, 28, last featured in a Scotland squad in 2013.
Warriors loose forward Ryan Wilson, who is serving an international ban until late August, is also included.
And there are places for the uncapped Hugh Blake, Mike Cusack, Allan Dell, Damien Hoyland and Rory Hughes, with head coach Vern Cotter naming 46 players in his initial squad.
Strauss, Nel and Cusack are all 'project signings'; players recruited by the country's Pro12 teams for a period of three years so they can qualify for the national team.
Scottish Rugby banned Wilson from representing his club for three months after being found guilty of assaulting a fellow rugby player and a further suspension for international matches was applied ruling him out until after 23 August.
He returned to Glasgow's starting line-up in Saturday's Pro12 final win over Munster.
The Warriors have 22 players in the squad while Jim Hamilton and Duncan Taylor - Premiership winners with Saracens - also feature.
Castres' Johnnie Beattie and Edinburgh's Dougie Fife are omitted from the squad having played in this year's Six Nations. Scotland finished last with no wins from five matches.
Once again, former skipper Kelly Brown is overlooked.
Scotland warm up for the World Cup with an away match against Ireland (15 August), home and away meetings with Italy (22 and 29 August) and another away Test against France (5 September).
Cotter's side are in Pool B with Japan, Samoa, South Africa and United States with their opener against Japan in Gloucester on 23 September.
Nel can play in the pre-tournament Tests while Strauss will only become eligible four days before the Scots face Japan.
"The selection process was made easier by some good performances from a number of players, especially in the latter part of the season," said Cotter, who will need to trim the squad to 31.
"Hopefully the confidence the players have gained from their successes will filter through into the rest of Scottish rugby. We'll need that for this campaign.
"This is not a firmly fixed squad, it's a living document.
"We know that teams play better in the Rugby World Cup, and we want to be one of those teams.
"Every team entering wants to win, but to win a World Cup you first have to qualify from your pool, and that's our major focus: two games in five days [Japan and USA] followed by another in six [South Africa] and another in seven [Samoa].

Rebecca Williams, known as Bex, was rescued from the New Year's Day fire in which her boyfriend Cameron Logan died.
His parents were treated for smoke inhalation after the fire at their home in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire.
Police said they still wanted to trace dog walkers and were seeking information about a dark-coloured car.
They want to speak to a man seen in the Craigton Wood area around the time of the fire walking a brown "pitbull" type dog, as well as another man walking along Craigton Road onto the West Highland Way with two Springer Spaniels.
Detectives have said these people could be potential witnesses.
The dark-coloured car was spotted in a layby on nearby Craigton Road near Clober Golf Club that had a door open and engine running around the time of the fire.
Ms Williams, a 24-year-old journalist at Global Radio, is being treated in hospital in Glasgow.
On Friday, her father Phillip Williams posted on Facebook that his daughter was "fighting hard".
Her condition later went from critical to "serious but stable" and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed on Sunday that Ms Williams was continuing to improve.
Governing body the FIA has requested tyres that allow drivers to push to the limit for the first time in years.
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said the latest prototypes "looked like a good step forward".
Pirelli racing manager Mario Isola told BBC Sport: "We feel we're on the proper way for compounds and technology, even if we still have a big job ahead."
Isola said the most recent test, using a Red Bull car in Abu Dhabi earlier this month, had been "quite encouraging".
Red Bull reserve driver Pierre Gasly told BBC Sport the tyres he ran were greatly improved in allowing a driver to push hard for a significant number of laps.
That is in contrast to the tyres Pirelli has supplied to F1 since 2011, which require drivers to lap at least a second off the pace during races to prevent them overheating and irreversibly losing grip.
Horner said: "It was a pretty sensible test. The car ran round for the three days and it definitely looked like a good step forward for next year in terms of grip, durability and giving the drivers a proper workout. It looks like a good direction."
After the first series of tests, there had been concerns Pirelli might not be able to make the required changes to tyres, which will be wider next year and fitted to cars designed to new rules aimed at making them faster and more dramatic looking.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel conducted the first development test at Ferrari's Fiorano test track at the beginning of August, when he ran for half a day in the dry before conducting the rest of the two-day test on wet tyres.
In public, Vettel said the test had been "an interesting experience". In private, he said the development tyres behaved in exactly the same manner as the current ones, sources told BBC Sport.
Swiss former F1 driver Sebastien Buemi reported the same experience after a subsequent test at Mugello with Red Bull.
Mark Webber, another former F1 driver, said he had spoken to both Vettel and Buemi and they were "not hugely happy". He added Pirelli still had "a lot of work to do".
However, progress was made at a test conducted by Ferrari at Spain's Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in September, after which Vettel told Pirelli there was one tyre he particularly liked.
This, Pirelli says, was a tyre of the 'soft' compound, and was also of the same design as the tyres Gasly felt in Abu Dhabi were a great improvement.
A spokesman added the company had also found in Abu Dhabi a 'medium' compound tyre that provided a similarly good behaviour.
Pirelli says it is pleased to have found a direction that seems to allow it to provide the tyres F1 wants for 2017, but says it is aware it still has some work to do and would have preferred more testing.
It lost a test with Mercedes at Barcelona earlier this month to poor weather.
There has also been a dispute over whether pre-season testing should be held in Bahrain, as Pirelli wanted, or in Spain, as most teams preferred. This has been resolved with a compromise that will see the two four-day pre-season tests conducted at Barcelona and an in-season test in Bahrain after the race in April.
Pirelli has also been concerned that the 'mule' cars used for the tests - 2015 cars modified in an attempt to replicate the effect of the new rules for next year - are not fast enough.
They are showing an increase in downforce of only 10%, while a document from the FIA seen by BBC Sport shows one team is predicting a 31% increase in downforce for the start of next year. Many expect at least a 20% increase.
These concerns were heightened when the fastest lap time set by Vettel at the September Barcelona test in the mule Ferrari would have qualified him at the back of the grid for this year's Spanish Grand Prix.
But senior figures said the lap times were irrelevant because the test cars are much heavier than the race cars will be next year and are using old engines being run at low power to ensure reliability.
Pirelli's desperation to have more representative cars to test with was also questioned by Fernando Alonso at the drivers' briefing at this month's Japanese Grand Prix.
The McLaren driver pointed out this year's grid has a four-second spread between the Mercedes and Manor cars, and the tyres worked across all of them.
Team bosses and drivers attending the meeting told BBC Sport they felt Isola did not satisfactorily answer Alonso's subsequent question as to why, in this context, Pirelli could not simply extrapolate from the test data the extra loads that would be created by the actual 2017 cars.
Pirelli has another test in Abu Dhabi, with Ferrari from 15-17 November, before a final 2017 development test with Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull in attendance after the final race of the season at Yas Marina.
The desire for what F1 drivers would regard as 'better' tyres next year came after increasing dissatisfaction with the current rubber.
This focused on the fact it prevented drivers pushing flat out throughout races but also arose from a number of failures that have happened at high speed over recent years.
These concerns led to a meeting between Pirelli, several leading drivers and team bosses at the tyre manufacturer's base in Milan in February, at which Pirelli requested a 'target letter' from the FIA stipulating what F1 wanted from the tyres for the faster cars that will be introduced in 2017.
The key points of this letter were that:
The FIA feels these requirements will guarantee Pirelli has to produce a product more like what would be considered a normal racing tyre - one on which the requirement for management by driving under the limit to control thermal degradation is greatly reduced, and drivers can therefore push hard throughout a race.
The letter is part of Pirelli's new contract to supply F1 from 2017-19.

Twenty-five people are still in hospital. State-run oil company Pemex says that all those who had been missing are now accounted for.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon has ordered an investigation into Tuesday's blast in northern Tamaulipas state.
Pemex has ruled out foul play, saying it was an "unfortunate accident".
The plant sustained serious damage and could take a month to restart operations, Pemex said.
In an interview with Mexican radio, Pemex executive Carlos Morales said the firm would have to import more natural gas from the US.
The company had already been importing increasing amounts to meet higher gas demand and make up for shortages, he said.
'Catastrophe averted'
Pemex said preliminary investigations suggested that the blast near the town of Reynosa had been caused by a build-up of gas.
Pemex Director Juan Jose Suarez said that there was "no evidence that it was a deliberate incident, or some kind of attack".
Company officials said that maintenance work had been carried out on the plant just minutes prior to the explosion.
President Calderon praised the emergency workers, who he said had managed to contain the fire before it could spread to the massive tanks of a neighbouring gas processing plant.
There have been several fires at Mexican refineries over the past month.
While investigations into those blazes have not yet concluded, preliminary evidence suggests they could have been caused by thieves tapping the lines to steal petrol.
Net profit was 43bn yen ($436m; £280m) in the year to 31 March, compared with a 457bn loss a year earlier.
Sony said the yen's recent fall, which makes its goods cheaper for foreign buyers, boosted sales. A weak yen also lifts profits when firms repatriate their foreign earnings back home.
But some analysts said gains from asset sales had skewed the latest numbers.
The firm said it expected its profits to rise to 50bn yen in the current financial year, with the yen forecast to remain weak.
The Japanese currency has fallen more than 20% against the US dollar since November last year, after policymakers unveiled a series of aggressive measures aimed at spurring growth in the economy.
Sony, which was once a market leader in various product categories, has seen its fortunes plummet over the past few years.
Increased competition, falling prices and narrowing profit margins have hurt its business, especially in the TV segment which has been making a loss for the past eight years.
As a result, Sony has been trying to restructure its business model and reduce its costs.
As part of the restructuring process, the firm has sold key assets over the past few months, including its US headquarters in New York and some of its shares in M3, a medical research and marketing firm.
The firm has also offloaded its "Sony City Osaki" building in Tokyo.
Sony said the sale of all these assets had resulted in gains of nearly $2.5bn during the last financial year - and the figure contributed to the rise in its earnings during the period.
Analysts said that given the impact these sales have had on its profit - the numbers were not a true reflection of the firm's success.
Gerhard Fasol of Eurotechnology Japan said that these gains "really need to be subtracted from the results, to understand the regular operating results".
Mr Fasol pointed out that the firm's results indicated that its electronics division continued to struggle and that the unit had not been turned around yet.
Police are investigating damage to a statue of the Virgin of Lujan, Argentina's patron saint.
Argentina's Foreign Ministry has written to the British embassy in Buenos Aires, asking the UK to launch an investigation.
Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan said he was "appalled" by the incident.
Argentina's ministry said in a statement that the vandalism was "particularly regrettable" given the recent decision by Argentina and Britain to identify the remains of 123 Argentine soldiers buried in the cemetery in Darwin, East Falkland.
The work on identifying the unknown men is expected to take place between June and August this year, according to a report on the Argentine news agency Telam.
"This significant advance in such a sensitive humanitarian issue is not matched by the intolerance and violence displayed by those who attacked the final resting place of the Argentine combatants fallen in 1982," the ministry said.
The Falkland Islands government said the vandalism was "clearly distressing to the families and regretted by the people of the Falkland Islands".
Police said the statue and its case had been damaged.
Sir Alan wrote on Twitter: "Appalled to hear of act of vandalism at Darwin Cemetery in Falkland Islands. Welcome urgent response & investigation by FIG."
During the two-month conflict in 1982, 649 Argentine soldiers were killed, while 255 British service personnel died.
The conflict saw a taskforce recapture the British overseas territory in the South Atlantic after an invasion by Argentina.
City are 21st in League One, having won just four of their 11 games since Venus replaced Tony Mowbray in September.
Fans have staged a number of protests this season against the club's owners, the hedge fund Sisu.
"Everyone can see the team needs a new manager, but they need some new players as well," Venus told BBC Sport.
"It's a sad state, it's a sorry football club."
After being appointed interim boss until at least January when Tony Mowbray left on 29 September, Venus did have an initial positive impact, lifting the Sky Blues off the bottom of the table, to where they had briefly sunk.
But City's league form had already dipped before being knocked out of the FA Cup 4-0 by League Two side Cambridge United in the second round, while their EFL Trophy second round win over Crawley attracted the lowest crowd in the club's history.
"I work 12 hours a day. I care about the football club," Venus told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. "I'm trying very hard to keep it going,
"It [the team] isn't doing very well, it needs help. Does it hurt? What do you think? It's the toughest part of my career. Of course it hurts."
City's next game is at home to third-placed Sheffield United at the Ricoh Arena this Thursday night.
If they suffer a sixth straight league defeat, it would be the club's worst losing run since leaving Highfield Road in 2005.
Rodney Smith, 67, of Quarry Hill, St Leonards, was charged following the blaze on 11 July.
The charge relates to a fire at St Michael's Hospice in St Leonards.
Two patients, Jill Moon, 62 and David Denness, 81, suffered smoke inhalation and died later in hospital. The family of Jill Moon have paid tribute to "an amazing person".
Mr Denness's family have previously said: "Our thoughts are with every family involved in these very sad circumstances."

Named the Storr Lochs Monster, the fossil of the sea-living reptile was found in 1966.
Fifty years on from the find, scientists from the University of Edinburgh and National Museums Scotland are preparing a detailed study of it.
It has been identified as being from a family of animals called ichthyosaurs.
The ancient reptiles grew to about 4m (13ft) in length and had long, pointed heads filled with hundreds of cone-shaped teeth, which they used to feed on fish and squid.
The Storr Lochs Monster is the most complete skeleton of a sea-living reptile from the "Age of Dinosaurs" that has ever been found in Scotland, the researchers said.
Skye is one of the few places in the world where fossils from the Middle Jurassic Period can be found.
The period saw the appearance of some of the first mammals, birds and reptiles such as snakes.
Welcome to Scotland's Jurassic Park.
Its dinosaurs might be long dead and no threat to puny humans, but Skye's rich fossil record has provided palaeontologists with important clues to the lives of prehistoric predators and their prey.
According to Dr Neil Clark, of the Hunterian Museum at the University of Glasgow, the Misty Isle's fossils include "very rare" dinosaur remains from the Middle Jurassic, a period of Earth's history still a mystery to scientists because of a shortage of fossil evidence from the time.
Eight years ago, scientists revealed that the earliest turtles known to live in water had been discovered on the island.
The 164 million-year-old reptile fossils were found on a beach at Cladach a'Ghlinne, on the Strathaird peninsula in southern Skye.
The new species, Eileanchelys waldmani, which translates as "the turtle from the island", formed a missing link between ancient terrestrial turtles and their modern, aquatic descendants.
Evidence of dinosaurs and ancient large reptiles from the Middle Jurassic and other periods have also been found on the island.
There are dinosaur footprints that can be seen on the beach at An Corran, Staffin, and also, at low tide, near Duntulm Castle in Trotternish.
Staffin Museum at Ellishadder, Staffin, also has the world's smallest dinosaur footprint in its fossil collection.
While you will not find the dinosaurs of Eilean a' Cheò (Gaelic for Skye) chewing on the scenery, the fossils have come under threat from rogue collectors.
In 2011, tonnes of rock were disturbed at a Jurassic site in what has been described as one of Scotland's most reckless acts of fossil collecting.
Rock was dug away from cliffs near Bearreraig Bay in an apparent organised search for valuable specimens.
A partnership between the University of Edinburgh, National Museums Scotland and energy company SSE has enabled the fossil to be extracted from the rock that encased it for millions of years.
The fossil was discovered on a beach near SSE's Storr Lochs Power Station by the facility's manager, Norrie Gillies, who died in 2011 aged 93.
It has been preserved in National Museums Scotland's storage facility for 50 years and now, by pooling expertise, the new collaboration will enable experts to form a clearer picture of the fossil.
A team of palaeontologists from the university and National Museums Scotland are preparing to carry out a detailed examination.
The scientists hope the study will help increase understanding of how ichthyosaurs evolved during the Middle Jurassic Period.
Once analysis of the fossil is complete, the public will have the chance to view it at a number of locations, including SSE's new visitor centre at the Pitlochry Dam in Pitlochry, which opens in a few months' time.
Dr Steve Brusatte, of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences, said: "Ichthyosaurs like the Storr Lochs Monster ruled the waves while dinosaurs thundered across the land.
"Their bones are exceptionally rare in Scotland, which makes this specimen one of the crown jewels of Scottish fossils.
"It's all thanks to the keen eye of an amateur collector that this remarkable fossil was ever found in the first place, which goes to show that you don't need an advanced degree to make huge scientific discoveries."
Dr Nick Fraser, keeper of natural sciences at National Museums Scotland, said: "The Storrs Loch Monster highlights the rich fossil heritage of Skye.
"Collaborations between scientists at National Museums Scotland, the University of Edinburgh and elsewhere in the UK are beginning to shed new light on the Middle Jurassic of Skye - a time when dinosaurs were dominant on land but mammals were also diversifying."
Inmates from HMP Featherstone, near Wolverhampton, have teamed up with British inventor Peter Morrison to make the "Featherstove".
The stove diverts harmful fumes through its chimney and produces clean water.
The World Health Organization estimates there are 1.9m premature deaths per year due to people inhaling smoke.
Almost half of the world's population still cook and heat their homes using solid fuels in open fires and rudimentary stoves.
The invention is the result of the prison's Eureka programme, an employment course which aims to tackle reoffending behaviour.
It is the first product developed by the scheme and is set to be manufactured within the prison's workshops.
Maxwell-John Cox, who is currently on the programme, said: "To know that I could use my time in prison to positively impact on the world and change lives of those less fortunate than myself is a very humbling experience.
"It has broadened my understanding of the world and given me a genuine hope for the future."
Peter Morrison, the 2003 and 2004 winner of British Inventor of the Year, has helped to shape the patented design.
He said: "There are lots of great ideas that die because knowledge on how to progress from concept to reality is daunting.
"This programme gives the participants these skills which in turn help them build their self-esteem and equipping them to contribute positively to their communities and the local economy on their release."
The prison holds more than 650 category C inmates - considered dangerous but unlikely to escape - who are serving sentences ranging from three years to life.
Angela Wrightson, 39, was subjected to a seven-hour attack in her Hartlepool home by the pair, then aged 13 and 14.
Serious case reviews revealed multiple failures by officials but concluded the murder could not have been prevented.
But they found the girls' parents were unwilling to accept parenting help.
Ms Wrightson was beaten with a shovel, a TV, a coffee table and a stick studded with screws during the attack in 2014.

Both girls, who were not named in court because of their age. were jailed for a minimum of 15 years in April last year.
Three separate reports tell of "overly optimistic" care services, a failure to address poor parenting and an "insufficient understanding" of neglect.
The reports found the younger of the two girls, referred to in the report as "Yasmine", was subjected to physical and emotional abuse by her parents.
But they concluded officials were too ready to accept her mother's claims she was disruptive because she had been "spoilt".
by Bethan Bell, BBC News
The reports stop short of allocating blame - but there is no doubt parental neglect emerges as a root cause of what happened that terrible night.
Angela Wrightson, "Olivia" and "Yasmine" all had difficult backgrounds. Ms Wrightson's chronic alcoholism was said to have stemmed from an unhappy and traumatic childhood spent in different care homes. The times she had felt the happiest and safest were those times when she was in prison. She was vulnerable and lonely.
Olivia had a fractured, abusive and unstable upbringing. One of six sisters with different fathers, drug and alcohol abuse and physical violence were common in both her mother's and father's homes. She once returned to a care home with a black eye caused by her mother.
The report highlighted a time when aged 12, Olivia had been in a serious car accident. She had to spend two weeks in hospital. Her father, on the one occasion he visited, was "unsupportive and complaining of the trouble she had caused him". Her mother did not visit at all.
Yasmine's parents abrogated all responsibility for her. The review described their parenting as "hostile, physically abusive and blaming".
Both had alcohol problems and a history of domestic violence. They showed no insight into how their behaviour could affect their daughter.
At a meeting with social services, her mother said: "Yasmine has hurt me so much, it will be hard to forgive her." At the time, Yasmine was 12.
It is perhaps not surprising that both girls sought comfort in aggression, roaming the streets and drinking.
The friendship that ended in murder
A chaotic life and brutal death
Can children be natural born killers?
Report writers said the older girl, referred to in the report as "Olivia", had a chaotic home life and was placed into care after her mother claimed she was "going to parties, possibly having sexual intercourse and hitting" younger siblings.
The younger girl also confessed to a care worker that she had spent a weekend drinking and smoking cannabis with friends, and had spent a night with a boy, but denied any sexual activity.
Two months before the murder, the older girl was arrested for assaulting three members of staff and causing damage to the premises.
The reports into both teenagers found their parents were quick to criticise their daughters' behaviour, but unwilling to accept help to improve their parenting.
About the younger girl's parents, the report stated: "They blamed Yasmine for their inability to be warm and caring to her."
Of the older girl, it said: "When the reviewer visited Olivia in prison, she expressed her feelings that she had always been held responsible for the family problems, both by her parents and, she felt, by professionals."
Ms Wrightson, who was known locally as "Alco Ange", had also received a high level of intervention from social services.
The report found she had received help for alcohol addiction, but that it ceased in 2011.
Between January 2012 and her death, Ms Wrightson made 219 calls to the police with another 253 made by people about her.
There were also reports of her being "bothered" by young people whom she was too afraid to take formal action against due to a previous "serious" altercation with a teenager.
"There was growing evidence in 2014 that (Ms Wrightson) was being targeted by young people and adults," the report said.
It concluded there was a lack of awareness among various agencies about how she should be treated and best helped.
Because officials did not fully speak to each other, the "fullest picture of [Ms Wrightson's] experience and risk" was not complete.
Her family has said they want to see her situation treated with the same seriousness as domestic abuse.
The report said: "[The family] say the number of vulnerable adults whose homes are taken over and who suffer regular abuse are unknown, yet there is no law making this type of home invasion illegal."
Niece Rachel Tressider said they hoped to launch "Angie's Law" to protect vulnerable people against harassment, bullying, torment and extortion.
She said: "This is what she went through. In the report it said she was 'home jacked' by two females who used her property... without her permission.
"It's an horrendous thing, a very serious thing, [it's] not recognised and it needs to be, and that's where Angie's Law would come in."
The report into Ms Wrightson made five findings calling for better communication between agencies, increased awareness of mental health issues and improved connection between children's and adult's services.
The reviews about the girls made six, including the need for improved understanding of the effect of neglect on adolescents and removing a "tendency to sympathise with parents, leaving emotional abuse unidentified and children vulnerable to continued abuse".
Dave Pickard, the chairman of Hartlepool Safeguarding Children Board, said there was "a very difficult balance" between keeping children with their families and putting them into care.
He said: "Both families received a great deal of support and guidance from a consistent, caring and hard-working group of professionals.
"Neither girl had any history of violent offences, although they were, at times, angry, abusive, hostile to those around them.
"There is considerable evidence [they] experienced abuse and neglect which had had an impact on their wellbeing and behaviour.
"Although we have learnt lessons about how we understand adolescent neglect more broadly and the likely trauma it creates, we cannot predict how this will manifest itself on a daily basis or how it might interact negatively with other factors.
"These issues are beyond professional control."
Scunthorpe needed to better Barnsley's result at Wigan to secure the final play-off position but the Tykes' victory ended their top-six ambitions.
Tom Hopper put the Iron ahead as he slid Paddy Madden's deflected effort past keeper George Long from 15 yards.
Madden fired past Long after half-time as Scunthorpe kept pushing but they ended the season in seventh place.
Scunthorpe started the day on equal points with Barnsley and began strongly, with Luke Williams' long-range effort well held by Long.
Billy Sharp curled Matt Done's cross wide of the post as the Blades struggled to make any impact, before the unmarked Hooper tapped the Iron's first goal past Long.
The home side looked stronger after the break as Sharp saw his low effort from distance turned wide, but a defensive mix-up in the box allowed Madden to score his 23rd of the season.
Long pulled off two excellent saves as Williams and Madden came close for the visitors, but Barnsley's win scuppered their chance of reaching the play-offs.
Summer signing Ahmed Musa scored his first goal for the club, while Shinji Okazaki and Christian Fuchs struck after the break - the latter's effort a superb volley - to secure a convincing win.
Yohan Cabaye scored a consolation for the Londoners and Palace pressurised the hosts in the final five minutes as they attempted an unlikely comeback.
But it was too late against a Leicester side who showed something of the form that won them the title last season, even without England striker Jamie Vardy in the starting line-up.
Vardy, who played in the 1-0 win over Copenhagen and has not scored in eight games, was rested with manager Claudio Ranieri saying he needed to rotate his players as they juggle European and league commitments.
The Italian's decision was justified as Okazaki added guile to the Leicester attack, while Islam Slimani was a menacing presence up front.
Leicester are one victory away from the Champions League knockout stages after making it three wins from three in their group with victory over Copenhagen on Tuesday, but their Premier League form has been less satisfying - they have already lost one league fixture more than in the entirety of last season.
But this victory will give Foxes fans confidence their team can cope with the rigours of Champions League and Premier League football.
It is not that the defending champions have suffered European 'hangovers' this season - they have picked up seven points in the league after their three Champions League games.
It is in matches leading up to European nights - all away from home - that they have suffered, although the three defeats that have preceded their Champions League wins did come against Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Ranieri was criticised for resting players during last week's 3-0 thumping by Chelsea, leaving Riyad Mahrez and Slimani out of the starting line-up at Stamford Bridge. This week it was Vardy who stepped down, but he was not missed as others starred in what was the Foxes' best league performance of the season.
The hosts attacked with pace, with Musa, Okazaki and Mahrez in particular giving Palace problems. The opener by the lively Musa was deserved, with the Nigerian's manager saying the winger is now "ready" for the Premier League.
Okazaki also caught the eye, doubling Leicester's advantage by drilling Damien Delaney's clearance in at the near post for his first goal in 14 appearances.
Fuchs' volley across goal was the icing on the cake, however, as the full-back - who extended his contract with the club this week - gave Steve Mandanda no hope in the Palace goal. "I just hit it as hard as I could," said the Austrian.
Palace manager Alan Pardew talked this week of creating a legacy at Selhurst Park, and specifically of qualifying for Europe, but back-to-back league defeats will knock confidence.
Yet there are positives for Pardew to take in defeat.

His team fought until the final whistle, ending the match with 23 shots - six more than Leicester - and edged their opponents in possession and territory.
Wilfried Zaha was bright throughout, assisting the returning Cabaye as he beat both Andy King and Fuchs on the right wing, but unfortunately for Palace Andros Townsend on the opposite wing had a quiet match.
The match could have unfolded differently had Christian Benteke's header hit the back of the net instead of the crossbar in the first half with the score goalless, but once the visitors fell two goals behind defeat seemed the only likely outcome as the Foxes thrived on the counter-attack.
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "I feel good. For the first 20 minutes I felt not so good but after that we started to play our pressing, fast football against a very good team.
"That was our best performance so far this season. It was the shape and model of last season and we concentrated on doing our job. We knew our weaknesses but also strengths.
"This was not a game for Jamie Vardy just like last game was not a game for Riyad Mahrez. I want to rotate my players and now everybody is ready to fight for their place on the pitch."

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew: "The scoreline wasn't a fair reflection. We had a great start, hit the bar and that could have changed the course of the game.
"But then they cranked it up for the last 20 minutes of the first half and we struggled to hold on to them.
"The second half we had loads of chances but failed to capitalise. We were OK but their pace and power were too much for us at the end. They are champions for a reason."
Leicester's next match will be at White Hart Lane against Tottenham on 29 October. They will then travel to Denmark to face FC Copenhagen on 2 November in the Champions League, where victory would ensure their progress to the knockout stages.
Palace have a less hectic schedule, but their next league match is also a tough test, at home against Liverpool on 29 October.

He was transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital where he underwent a procedure.
Mr McGuinness said he took Mr Robinson a bowl of fruit during his visit on Wednesday night.
"It was my bowl of fruit, because I hadn't eaten anything all day yesterday, so I sacrificed that in the interests of the first minister's health," he joked.
The deputy first minister said: "But hopefully he's on the mend, I would hope he will be out of hospital very shortly.
"I'm not going to speak about his physical condition. I think, knowing Peter, he will talk to the media about that whenever he's able to do so and I'll leave that to him.
"But I obviously felt it was important to go and see him and wish him well and his family well." | The famous Spiegeltent has lost its home during the Edinburgh Festival.

Sam Allardyce left his post as England boss after the newspaper investigation claimed he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.
He had been in charge of England for one game before his exit.
But police said Allardyce "is not part of the investigation".
In a statement, 62-year-old Allardyce said he welcomed the confirmation, adding: "I was always confident that this would be the case as there was no evidence against me. I now ask that the Football Association deals with this matter as quickly as possible.
"While I am sad that my tenure came to an end early, I am nonetheless proud to have been chosen to manage the England football team and hope that today's confirmation from the police will give me the opportunity to move on."
The FA, English Football League and Premier League have all been waiting for the City of London Police to complete its review of the Telegraph's evidence so they can proceed with their own inquiries.
William Hanks, 83, was found inside the house by firefighters called to the incident at about 17:40 on Wednesday.
The fire was brought under control by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), who said no-one else was in the property at the time of the blaze.
SFRS and police have begun a joint investigation into the cause of the fire.
Det Insp Richard Baird, of Police Scotland, said: "Enquiries are ongoing into the circumstances and a comprehensive examination of the scene by specialists from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland is taking place today after work was carried out to ensure the building is safe to enter.
"I would like to thank the local community for their patience while emergency services attended this tragic incident."
"Our thoughts are with Mr Hanks' family at this difficult time."
A black Ford Fiesta and a black Renault Kadjar were involved in the collision on the B4278 between Penrhiwfer and Tonyrefail at 11:35 BST.
Stephen Woodland, who was driving the Fiesta died, while a 43-year-old driver of the other car and her daughter, three, were taken to hospital.
Mr Woodland's family said they were "heartbroken".
In a statement, they described how they were "coming to terms with the tragic loss" of the father-of-two, and added their "thoughts are also with the other family involved".
Police said the injuries sustained by the mother and daughter are not thought to be serious and appealed for witnesses.
Half a century on, consumers are used to a range of convenient ways to pay, but back in 1966 there was a feeling of change when people tried to brandish their exciting new plastic cards.
"When it arrived I didn't really know what it was," admits Liz Hodgkinson, who was a fresh-faced 22-year-old just out of university.
The company sent out some 1.25 million plastic cards to Barclays customers from 29 June 1966 and while some sent them back or never used them, many, like Liz, a writer, embraced the new way of paying.
"There was an explanatory letter from Barclays which said it was issuing the cards to its best customers. It was a terrific revolution as far as women were concerned as previously you had to have a male guarantor to get credit."
At the time, the bank said: "[Barclaycard's] purpose is to reduce the use of cash in shopping and other transactions and the scheme is designed to appeal not only to those who must travel and spend a good deal of money in restaurants, but also to the everyday shopper throughout the country."
It also stressed the benefits to retailers and businesses by pointing out that the card would help in "reducing or eliminating the book-keeping now needed to maintain customers' credit accounts."
Once she'd worked out its advantages, Liz used her card as soon as possible.
"I realised that I could buy something without having to pay for it there and then and could have three weeks' grace. It meant I didn't have to wait until payday.
"It made me feel very special. My husband banked at Lloyds at the time so didn't get one."
In fact it took Barclays' High Street rivals six years to respond.
By the time a group comprising Lloyds, NatWest and Midland (now HSBC) launched the now-scrapped Access card in 1972, there were 1.7 million Barclaycard holders.
Today the company says it has 10.5 million consumer customers as well as many more business customers.
In the intervening period, the world of plastic cards has changed completely.
In 1966 Barclaycard charged an annual interest rate of 1.5% but expected payment by the end of the month.
The idea of revolving credit, where a card can be used to maintain a longer borrowing, only started in 1967 when Barclaycard offered up to three months' credit. Now, of course, it's possible to be in debt to a credit card for a lifetime and the average interest charged on outstanding balances is 18.9%.
The borrowing limits in 1966 were much more modest, too. Cardholders were offered up to £100 worth of credit. Now the average is around £4,000, the company says.
Looking ahead, plastic cards will take over from cash to become the UK's most frequently used payment method by 2021, reckons Payment UK.
The growth will be driven by "the next generation of account holders", says the UK Cards Association as "younger people are more likely to embrace new technologies such as contactless cards and mobile payments."
But the older generation is getting in on the act, too. Liz Hodgkinson, now 72, reveals: "I have an app on my phone to make contactless payments," although she admits: "It was set up by my grandson!"
While the introduction of plastic in 1966 may have given cardholders like Liz a feeling of confidence, the evolution of the credit card also meant the danger of getting into debt very much became a reality.
"I was elated to get an Access card when I was aged 18," says Karen Wake, 55, a pension expert. But her happiness didn't last. "By the age of 25 I had built up £30,000 worth of debt.
"I worked hard to pay it off in five to six years and have had no debt since then," she says. "Despite the fact I now work in the financial services industry, that didn't equip me to manage my finances at a young age."
Today, many people happily use credit cards for convenience - often earning rewards or cashback - while paying the balance off every month to ensure there are no charges.
But overspending and building up long-term debt remain big problems.
Mike O'Connor, chief executive of the debt charity Step Change, says: "The average credit card debt we see is £8,403 and last year we dealt with more than 200,000 people with £1.7bn of credit card debts."
He says the Financial Conduct Authority should reform the market to ensure that credit cards work better for consumers, especially those in financial difficulty.
"Small changes to existing rules, such as increasing minimum payments from 1% to 2% of the balance or fixing minimum repayments so that they don't fall as the balance declines, could save people thousands of pound and cut years off repayment periods," says Mr O'Connor.
Transparency International (TI) says it has seen no improvement in powerhouses Nigeria and South Africa.
Its corruption index puts Somalia at the top of the list of the world's most corrupt countries.
The annual index looks at factors such as the prevalence of bribery and the perception that government officials go unpunished for corruption.
The watchdog said the countries perceived to be the most corrupt tend to be in conflict; have weak institutions such as the police and the courts and lack independent media.
Somalia has not had an effective central government since its long-serving ruler, Siad Barre, was overthrown in 1991.
North Korea, which has been one of the world's most secretive societies, shared the spot of most corrupt with Somalia.
The "cleanest" countries, such as Denmark, Finland and Sweden, tend to show the public how money is spent and have judges that don't differentiate between rich and poor, the report says.
TI picked out Ghana - which has been rocked by an undercover film showing judges allegedly taking bribes - as a pocket of hope where activists "worked hard to drive out the corrupt".
Senegal, where the government has introduced a series of anti-corruptions laws, was one of the biggest improvers this year, TI said.

Acting taoiseach, Fine Gael's Enda Kenny, was rejected with 52 voting for and 77 against.
His rival, Fianna Fáil's Micheál Martin, was defeated with 43 votes in favour and 91 against.
It is the third time TDs (members of the Irish parliament) have voted for a new leader.
Following February's election, Fine Gael had 50 seats, Fianna Fáil 44, Sinn Féin 23 and the Labour Party got seven.
But no party was able to form a majority government and TDs have failed to elect a leader on two previous occasions.
Following the second vote, Fianna Fáil, rejected an offer of a partnership government with its rivals, Fine Gael.
Caretaker Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, said Fianna Fáil's refusal of the offer was a "serious mistake".
The Fine Gael leader claimed the rejection was "driven by narrow party interests rather than the national interest".
However, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin told a press conference "the best interests of the Irish people are not served by a government made up of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael".
Sinn Féin is the third largest party with 23 seats, the Labour Party has seven TDs while smaller parties and independents make up the other 34 seats.

At least 1,000 people have been killed and nearly 200,000 displaced in the conflict, which has taken on ethnic undertones. Mr Kiir is from the Dinka community and Mr Machar from the Nuer group.
The BBC's Alastair Leithead was travelling with government troops from the capital, Juba, on Sunday when the convoy came under attack about 25km (15 miles) from Bor.

The rebels are not just a ragtag group of civilians with guns - although there is an element of that.
It's actually a whole division of the South Sudan army that has joined the rebel side.
So you've got army fighting against army. They're both very well armed.
The government has been trying for a few days to retake Bor. It still hasn't managed to get through.
We've seen bodies on the road and two burnt-out tanks. We've seen very heavy fighting between two trained armies.
Q&A: South Sudan clashes
The commanding general - who has not been named - was killed in the ambush.
The government has been sending reinforcements to try to retake Bor in recent days, bringing the total number of army troops involved to some 2,000.
A whole division of the South Sudanese army has joined the rebel side, so the fighting in Bor in effect involves two trained armies, our correspondent adds.
He says he saw evidence of the intensity of the fighting, with burnt-out tanks by the side of the road.
Fighting is also continuing in other areas. Army spokesman Philip Aguer said there had been clashes in the oil-producing states of Unity and Upper Nile in the north.
Up until Friday, the talks in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, were conducted by mediators. Now, teams representing the opposing factions are expected to negotiate face-to-face.
A preliminary meeting was held late on Saturday. Key issues are establishing a ceasefire, and the rebels' demand for the release of what they see as political prisoners.
But substantive talks failed to get under way on Sunday, delayed by disagreements over the agenda and - an official was quoted as saying - by "protocol issues".
It seems each side is trying to gain as much leverage on the battlefield before they even consider a ceasefire, says the BBC's Africa editor Richard Hamilton.
International mediators may be losing patience with South Sudan's leaders whose delays are costing hundreds of lives, he says.
It is now hoped talks will begin in earnest on Monday.
South Sudan spokesman Michael Makuei said the government would resist international pressure to free supporters of Mr Machar arrested in Juba at the start of the conflict.
He said releasing "those who attempted to overthrow a democratically elected government" would set a "bad precedent".
"Are we not risking the governments of Africa and the rest of the world to such attempts? We should not be arm-twisted because we are a new nation."
Meanwhile the first aid flight to South Sudan funded by the UK government has arrived in the country. The aircraft, carrying emergency aid and sanitation supplies, landed in Juba, on Sunday.
South Sudan is the world's newest state. It was formed in 2011, gaining independence from Sudan after decades of conflict.
The latest trouble has its roots in tensions that go back long before 2011.
The depiction of Tiddler - another of Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson's characters - will be sold in Bridge of Allan later this month.
Money raised from the sale of Axel Scheffler's drawing will go to Artlink Central.
The charity provides arts programmes for adults and children with additional support needs.
Mr Scheffler said: "Art is so important for everyone; I think it's wonderful what Artlink Central do, especially for children.
"Julia has been a major supporter of the charity for many years now and I am always happy to help when I can.
"I really hope the auction piece will do well on the night. It's an alternative version of an illustration for the book Tiddler, which features a little grey fish who loves to tell tall tales."
He added: "Often I start a picture for a book but I don't finish it, I don't always know why.
"But if I like it, like this one, I will go back and finish it later. Sometimes the ones which don't go into the books are even better."
Players and staff were not paid two months' wages by the club because of a winding-up petition over unpaid taxes.
It led the Professional Footballers' Association to step in and pay the players' wages.
"We can only pay tribute to the staff and players for their commitment and professionalism," said Thomas.
"It was a priority for us to pay the wages as soon as technically possible for our employees especially in the build up to Christmas."
The winding-up petition from HM Revenue & Customs was withdrawn following a court hearing on Monday after Thomas paid the £166,000 tax bill.
On December 11, an administration petition brought by Northampton Borough Council against the club is set to be heard.
But Thomas and the council have a memorandum of understanding in place over an unpaid £10.25m loan to the club for redevelopment work at Sixfields Stadium, which would would see the debt wiped out, with the council acquiring land near Sixfields for development in return.
Ozzy received the PDSA Gold Medal for his actions during the incident in Falkirk in 2015.
Police dog Sweep and civilian dog Sabby were awarded the PDSA Order of Merit, which the charity has dubbed "the animals' OBE."
The three dogs and their handlers received the awards at a ceremony in Edinburgh.
Ozzy, who is nine and has since retired from police service, was called to the incident in Falkirk with his handler PC Brian Tennant.
A man had severed a gas pipe after assaulting two people at knifepoint and was threatening to blow up the building by attempting to ignite the gas with a lighter.
Ozzy tackled the man to the ground where he was disarmed and arrested by PC Tennant.
The officer said: "Ozzy has been a loyal and exemplary police dog throughout his career.
"He has assisted with apprehending numerous criminals, saved lives and prevented countless injuries to members of the public and fellow police officers.
"Receiving the PDSA Gold Medal is a fitting end to his distinguished career, I am incredibly proud of him."
Cocker Spaniel Sweep received his award for outstanding devotion to duty while working as detection dog for Lothian and Borders Police and Police Scotland.
Sabby retired in 2016 after a ten-year career working with the NHS Lanarkshire learning disability occupational therapy service team.
The 22-year-old winger is preparing for the summer tour of Japan after an eye-catching campaign with Edinburgh.
"It would have been great to be involved at the World Cup, but for me it was a win-win situation," he said.
"I learned a lot from the more experienced guys [in the pre-tournament training squad] and that helped kick-start my season."
Hoyland was among the 16 players cut as head coach Vern Cotter selected 30 players for his World Cup pool.
Scotland went on to reach the quarter-finals, suffering a narrow quarter-final defeat by Australia at Twickenham in October.
"After training with them, I felt quite comfortable," he explained. "I did feel ready for it, but I'm in a much better place now.
"I felt way better for being involved in the pre-World Cup stuff and, if it wasn't for that, I maybe would have been a bit slower to start for Edinburgh and not done as well.
"How it worked out was maybe the best thing that could have happened for me.
"If I'd gone to the World Cup and not got much game-time then I would have missed a lot of games for Edinburgh.
"There's always disappointment, but it was quite easy to get back to reality and to focus on trying to play well for my club."
Hoyland was a late replacement in Scotland's second World Cup warm-up game, against Italy in Turin, but admits he did not seize the opportunity to impress.
"I didn't see any of the ball, maybe made one or two tackles," he recalls. "It was just the way the match went."
However, he was a bright light in another frustrating season for Edinburgh.
Having made his club debut in February 2015, Hoyland can boast eight tries from 22 starts for Alan Solomons' side.
Tommy Seymour, Sean Maitland and Sean Lamont are the other wingers in the squad for the two-Test visit to Japan, with the latter a call-up for the injured Tim Visser.
Hoyland said it was a confidence boost to originally be selected ahead of Lamont, who has 104 caps.
"I'm just embracing it, and trying to get on with it, without thinking about it too much," he added.
"From being involved last year, I know what's expected of me. I know I'll have to give everything.
"It's more about trying to bring what I've done for Edinburgh this season, although this is a much higher standard.
"This was the dream I had as a kid. It's about not getting caught up in that and trying to move on to the next level."

Ellen ap Gwynn sacked Gethin James from the cabinet for joining UKIP, but he had remained in the Independents group.
The Independents group accepted Mr James's resignation on Wednesday.
The group then voted to continue in coalition with Plaid Cymru, Independent Voice and a Labour councillor.
Plaid leader Leanne Wood made a strong attack on UKIP at her party's spring conference last week.
She said "a vote for UKIP is a vote against Wales", describing its politics as having "no place in our country".
On Tuesday, it emerged that the council leader had dismissed Mr James from his role as cabinet member for lifestyle services and waste.
It is understood Ellen ap Gwynn then told the Independents' group leader, Ray Quant, a decision needed to be made on Mr James's continued membership of the group, or the coalition would be in question.
Mr James was elected as an independent councillor representing the Aberporth ward.
He told BBC Wales that he joined UKIP three weeks ago and "challenging the vast amount of EU legislation doesn't make me un-Welsh or against Wales".
The visiting fans had to wait till late in the game for a winner to arrive.
Declan Hughes was penalised for a foul on Faissal El Bakhtaoui and McCabe's free-kick found its way into the net off the defensive wall.
The result sends Cowden to the bottom of the division - a point behind Forfar Athletic and Brechin City.
Clinton Sentance, 36, of Tennyson Street, Gainsborough, admitted three charges of robbery in the town.
The crimes, which took place in March, were at addresses in Ropery Road, Portland Terrace, and South Street, Morton, near Gainsborough.
The defendant was remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced on 15 June.
Appearing at Lincoln Crown Court, Sentance also admitted three linked charges of possession of a knife.
They say anyone able to prove their eggs were taken from the wild before 1981 should not be prosecuted.
The law was changed in 2004 to require a licence and proof eggs were taken before 1954 but this was ruled unlawful because of a lack of consultation.
Ministers say reinstating the so-called "pre-1981 defence" against liability would be a proportionate step.
Officials said "clarifying" the law in England and Wales would have the effect of focusing resources on prosecuting those currently collecting and trading eggs rather than punishing people who have built up or inherited historical collections.
The move, it is hoped, will encourage those with collections of scientific value to hand them over to museums for research.
While the practice of collecting wild bird eggs is in decline, the two governments' joint consultation found that illegal activity was still going on and there was a need for legislation outlawing it - which first came into force in 1981 - to remain on the statute book.
The majority of those who responded to a consultation carried out by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs called for the so-called pre-1981 defence - which takes its name from the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act - to be reinstated.
When the Act was passed, it was specified that no-one would be prosecuted who could establish that their eggs were taken from the wild before the legislation came into force.
However, this was superseded in 2004 when the law was changed to make eggs taken after the passage of the 1954 Protection of Birds Act the "burden of proof" for criminal liability.
Critics of the move argue this has had the effect of retrospectively criminalising anyone who collected bird eggs legally between 1954 and 1981.
The regulations were approved by Parliament in 2004 via a statutory instrument, without a full debate, and were designed to bring the UK into line with an EU directive on the definition of wild birds.
But they were later deemed unlawful because the public had not been properly consulted on the issue of removing the pre-1981 exemption.
In a high-profile case, John Dodsworth's 2009 conviction for the illegal possession of nearly 1,000 wild bird eggs was quashed by the High Court in 2012 on the grounds that the 1981 pre-defence had been "effectively removed without consultation".
Lawyers for Mr Dodsworth, who had previous convictions for wildlife offences, argued he could not have known he was breaking the law by being in possession of a collection of eggs assembled by others over decades and given to him before 2004.
They also warned the law as it stood had major implications for museums and other holders of potentially valuable collections.
Defra has now concluded there would be no significant benefit to wildlife conservation in maintaining the existing regulations.
By reverting to the 1981 pre-defence, the department says it would ensure the UK complied with EU laws while making it more likely valuable collections were preserved and not disposed of in a hasty fashion.
"Reinstating the pre-1981 defence is a proportionate response to, what is now, a declining activity," it said.
In reaching its decision, the UK and Welsh governments noted that there was no forensic method to authenticate the age of eggs to determine the legality of individual collections.
The RSPCA said egg collecting had been "on the wane" since tougher penalties, including the risk of jail sentences, were introduced in 2001 but still posed a serious threat.
The charity, one of 16 organisations - including police forces and museums - and 18 individuals to respond to the consultation, said the 1981 law had been full of "loopholes" and it would have preferred the 2004 regulations to stay in place as part of the "legislative armoury" against offenders.
"We are going to go back to where we were," said Guy Shorrock, the organisation's senior investigations officer. "I suspect that there will be some egg collectors who will be pretty happy with this because they think it will make their life a bit easier."
But Mr Shorrock said it was not a "huge issue" and was unlikely to have a big impact on the amount of prosecutions brought by the Crown Prosecution Service. The CPS says it weighs up all the evidence, not just dates of possession, before deciding whether to launch proceedings.
A document posted to Facebook showed his tax bill last year came to £23,080 on an income of £121,738.
Leaders of the Welsh Lib Dems, Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru followed the prime minister earlier this week in releasing details on what they pay in tax.
But UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill said he would not "jump on the bandwagon".
Information about David Cameron's 2009-15 tax and earnings was released on Sunday in an attempt to defuse a row about his investment in his late father's offshore fund.
The row was sparked by a leak of documents from Panamanian firm Mossack Fonseca.
Mr Davies, who made the disclosure on Wednesday, said: "Hopefully we can all now focus on the assembly campaign and the issues affecting people the length and breadth of Wales."
The document, titled a "personal tax computation", shows Mr Davies' income for 2014/15 came to £121,738, including £49,495 understood to relate to his farming income.
He had income tax due of £41,949, but after deductions of £20,639.60 his total liability came to £23,080.
Earlier this week it was disclosed that Labour leader Carwyn Jones had to pay £41,147 on a total income of £119,184.
Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood also took to Facebook to show she was charged £9,045 on a total income of £48,547.
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams faced a bill of £15,281 on income of £64,143.
Mr Jones', Ms Williams' and Ms Wood's disclosures also cover the tax year 2014/15.
The late Labour MP would want people to stand up for her beliefs "in death as much as she did in life", he told political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
He said his late wife, who would have been 42 tomorrow, was concerned about "coarsening" of the referendum debate.
He also spoke about the need to support their children to "make sure something good comes out of this".
The MP for Batley and Spen died after she was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire, on Thursday.
A fund set up in her memory has raised £1m in donations while a series of events will be held around the country on Wednesday to mark what would have been her 42nd birthday.
Mr Cox said that his late wife - who was a passionate campaigner for human rights, international development and the plight of refugees during her parliamentary career and in her previous role working for Oxfam - "died for her views".
"She was a politician and she had very strong political views and I believe was she killed because of those views," he said. "I think she died because of them and she would want to stand up for those in death as much as she did in life.
"I don't want people ascribing views to her that she didn't have but I certainly want to continue to fight for the legacy and for the politics and the views she espoused.
"Because they were what she was, she died for them and we definitely want to make sure that we continue to fight for them."
The Labour MP, who was a Remain supporter, was concerned about the conduct of the referendum on EU membership and the direction of political debate in general, he said.
"She completely respected that people could disagree for very good reason. But more about the tone of whipping up fears and whipping up hatred potentially.
"I think the EU referendum has created a more heightened environment for it but actually it also pre-existed that. It's something that's happened over the last few years I think and again not just in the UK but globally."
He also spoke about the grief of their two children, who were present in the Commons when MPs paid tribute to their mother on Monday, and how important public support had been.
"The two things that I've been very focused on is how do we support and protect the children and how do we make sure that something good comes out of this.
"And what the public support and outpouring of love around this does, is it also helps the children see that what they're feeling and other people are feeling, that the grief that they feel isn't abnormal, that they feel it more acutely and more painfully and more personally but that actually their mother was someone who was loved by lots of people and that therefore, it's ok to be upset and it's okay for them to cry and to be sad about it."
And Mr Cox said he would remember his wife as somebody who had "energy, a joy, about living life" and who would have no regrets about her life.
"She cherished every moment... I remember so much about her but most of all I will remember that she met the world with love and both love for her children, love in her family and also love for people she didn't know.
"She just approached things with a spirit, she wasn't perfect at all you know, but she just wanted to make the world a better place, to contribute, and we love her very much."
Mr Cox ruled out seeking the Labour nomination for her Batley and Spen constituency as a way of honouring his late wife's memory, saying his overriding priority was caring for his family and helping them through the ordeal.
He said he hoped she would be replaced by a woman, saying it would be "a lovely symbolism" if they became Labour's 100th female MP.
In the short window of good weather that blows across the Himalayas before the summer monsoon, several hundred climbers are hoping to make it to the top.
But, not far from everyone's mind, will be the tragedy that struck the start of Everest summit season last year.
On 18 April 2014, falling blocks of ice killed 16 Sherpas as they attempted to fix guide-ropes through the glacial Khumbu Icefall at the base of the peak.
The accident led to angry protests by the mountain guides who demanded more compensation and higher insurance payouts from the government.
It also highlighted a recent increase in tension between Sherpas and Western climbers, which boiled over into a heated confrontation in 2013.
After the avalanche, the Sherpas cancelled summit season in honour of their dead comrades and hundreds of disappointed mountaineers were forced to return home.
A year on, much of this anger appears to have dissipated and the Sherpas are returning to work.
"Almost two-thirds of our demands have been fulfilled," says 39-year-old Pasang Sherpa, who scaled Everest seven times. "The rest are under implementation."
The government has increased the amount of insurance coverage for high-altitude workers by 50% to $15,000 (£10,000) and raised medical insurance by a third - with these increased costs paid for by expedition companies.
It has also provided more medical staff and helicopter rescue cover.
Most importantly it has moved the route through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall away from overhanging ice-blocks that could break free and fall on climbers. The route is now further to the right - a path that is considered harder but less avalanche-prone.
This is important to the Sherpas who make the journey many times to bring supplies up and down the mountain, though experts say it's impossible to know whether the route is actually safer.
Representatives of the Sherpa community say they are satisfied for the moment, but would still like to see more done.
"The government also needs to make arrangements to provide education for the children of mountain guides," says 32-year-old Phura Geljen Sherpa, who was involved in the rescue effort after the avalanche last year.
"And if good climbers are provided with pensions on their retirement, then their future will be secure," he says.
But the government say they are doing as much as they can.
"We have to look at our ground reality," says Tulasi Gautam, director-general of the Department of Tourism.
"If we continue to increase the facilities, the cost of climbing goes up. Foreign climbers then may opt to climb from the Chinese side or go to other countries for mountain climbing."
It's not just the Sherpas who would like to see the government invest more in the Everest industry.
"There has never been a formal inquiry into the avalanche," says Simon Lowe, managing director of the British mountaineering company Jagged Globe.
"We need to try to work out what factors led to the tragedy. But no-one took statements. It's one of the frustrations of dealing with Nepal."
Lowe has issued his Sherpas with avalanche transceivers that transmit a continual beep to help search teams locate them if they become buried.
But without an inquiry into last year's accident, he says he doesn't know how useful they are.
"We don't know whether the Sherpas died from trauma from being hit by falling ice, or whether they were buried. If they were buried these will help get them out," he says.
Special Report: Climbing Everest
Lowe would also like to see the government change its business model.
At the moment Nepal charges $11,000 for a group permit to climb Everest, an increase of $1,000 from last year.
It would be better, says Lowe, if the government forced Everest hopefuls to scale lesser Nepal-based peaks first, and to charge them more for doing this. He believes this could generate increased income as well as solve the problems of overcrowding and inexperienced climbers on Everest's slopes.
It's clear that the changes brought in this year are just the start of much-wanted reform of the Everest-climbing industry.
But, despite the continuing issues and danger, the allure of conquering the tallest peak on earth has not diminished.
"Disasters happen," says Pasang Sherpa.
"I was once swept away by an avalanche and was unconscious for almost an hour. But I came out of it and have still not lost my interest in climbing."
Mrs May will hold face-to-face meetings with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande.
Britain's exit from the European Union and its future relationship with the bloc is set to be on the agenda.
Mrs May's two-day trip will get under way after she holds her first Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "The prime minister will make her first overseas visits this week."
He said Mrs May would hold a bilateral meeting and have a working dinner with Mrs Merkel on Wednesday.
"This will be an opportunity to discuss the bilateral relationship, co-operation on a range of global challenges, and of course how the UK and Germany can work together as the UK prepares to leave the EU."
The spokesman said Thursday's meeting with President Hollande at the Elysee Palace would cover Brexit, "as well as Thursday's attack in Nice and counter-terrorism co-operation".
Meanwhile, Mrs May made her first visit to Wales as prime minister on Monday for talks with First Minister Carwyn Jones, covering Britain's exit from the EU and the future of the Tata Steel plant in Port Talbot.
It follows Mrs May's trip to Scotland on Friday when she held discussions with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on Scotland's future relationship with the EU.
The hosts stormed into a 5-0 lead after 19 minutes with Colin Shields, Mike Radja, James Desmarais, Mike Forney and Matt Nickerson on target.
David Rutherford pulled one back and Trevor Gerling gave the Scots hope by netting early in the second period.
Rutherford made it 5-3 before Mike Wilson sealed the points for Belfast.
Nottingham Panthers and Cardiff Devils both trail the Giants by three points but they have played fewer games.
Belfast take on the Devils in Cardiff on Saturday night in a top-of-the table showdown before facing Dundee Stars at the SSE Arena on Sunday.
A total of 51 refugees will arrive in Belfast from Lebanon, under the Vulnerable Persons Relocations Scheme.
Eleven of them are children under the age of five, including a baby.
Cards and drawings by local children to greet the refugees are on display at a special welcome centre where they will spend their first few days.
After the initiation process, the families will move into housing in the private rental sector until alternative arrangements are made.
This is the first time Northern Ireland has participated in a refugee resettlement program.
The first group will be settled in the Belfast area.
The second group of refugees will arrive in the first quarter of 2016 and will be settled in the north west.
Prime Minister David Cameron announced the expansion of the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme on 7 September.
The scheme will resettle up to 20,000 Syrian refugees across the UK over the next five years.
Refugees from countries neighbouring Syria will also be resettled under the scheme, mostly Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.
It does not extend to those who seek asylum in Europe or countries like Libya.
The Haxey Hood is contested by patrons of pubs in the neighbouring villages of Haxey and Westwoodside in North Lincolnshire, and can run for hours.
The Hood, a leather tube about one metre in length, is pushed in a scrum until it reaches one of four pubs.
The contest is held annually on the Twelfth Day of Christmas.
There is also a procession around participating public houses, The Carpenters Arms in Westwoodside, and the Kings Arms, The Loco and the Duke William, all in Haxey.
The King's Arms were crowned this year's winners.
The tradition is said to have started when Lady de Mowbray was out riding between Westwoodside and Haxey - between Gainsborough, Scunthorpe and Doncaster - when her silk riding hood was blown away by the wind.
She is said to have been so amused to see local farm workers chasing it she rewarded them land - on condition the chase be re-enacted every year.
The story says the worker who caught the hood was too shy to approach her and handed it to a fellow worker to return.
It is said Lady de Mowbray thanked the man who returned the hood and said he had acted like a lord. The worker who caught it was labelled a fool.
The main event starts when the hood is thrown into the middle of the scrum, or sway, as it is known locally.
The sway pushes through the villages, with each team trying to direct it towards their pub.
The contest ends when the Hood is touched by the landlord of the winning team's pub.
Lewis Siddall, 24, from Skellow in Doncaster, was found dead at his home at around 05:20 BST on Friday.
South Yorkshire Police said he had reportedly been assaulted in the VDKA bar in Silver Street, Doncaster, shortly after 23:00 BST on Thursday.
The arrested man remains in police custody.
Police said Mr Siddall is reported to have returned home and gone to bed following an incident in the bar. The cause of his death has not yet been confirmed.
Anyone with information should contact South Yorkshire Police on 101.
Dauda arrived at Hearts on loan from Vitesse Arnhem having had a previous spell in Serbia with Red Star Belgrade.
"I don't think it will be more than what I've experienced before," the Nigerian said of Sunday's Scottish Cup fifth round clash with Hibernian.
"It's the same experience I had with Red Star and Partizan."
Dauda says his experience of the intense rivalry between the Belgrade clubs has taught him not to get too swept up in the emotion surrounding derby matches.
"The fans there, they're crazy," the striker told BBC Scotland.
"The week before the game the training ground is packed full of fans trying to let us know how important it is. It was hard.
"In the beginning I was thinking it would be like a do-or-die thing, but you get to understand that these games are for the fans, not for the players. Just do it for them. That was my experience there. After that everything becomes easier to play."
Dauda admits he knows little of Hibs or the history of the rivalry between the Edinburgh clubs, but he is still relishing the prospect of the Cup tie at Tynecastle.
"This is a game for the fans and we have to respect that," he said.
"Ever since the draw was made we've been looking forward to this day so there is a lot of tension now and talk about the game but it's a derby so it's normal to be like this.
"I think it will be a really great atmosphere based on what I've seen in videos so I'm looking forward to seeing how it will be."
Joseph Phelps of Newbridge RFC cannot play for four years, making him the 13th Welsh rugby union player to currently be serving a ban.
United Kingdom Anti-Doping says Phelps' use of nandrolone was detected in June 2015 and he is banned until July 2019.
A summary of the tribunal published by Ukad said Phelps claimed he had taken Viagra and a "test booster" product to treat erectile dysfunction.
He also claimed not to have taken anything "for performance enhancement in sport" but to treat symptoms he had suffered after sustaining a testicular injury.
A report by Professor David Cowan, Director of the Drug Control Centre at King's College London, confirmed to the tribunal that "the human body does not naturally produce nandrolone in measurable quantities and that nandrolone is a drug administered via deep intra-muscular injection".
Ukad legal chief Graham Arthur said athletes are "solely responsible" for banned substance found in their system.
Arthur added: "This case highlights that all athletes, regardless of level, must be aware, and understand, the risks to their sporting careers if they test positive.
"They must ensure they manage that risk at all times."
Phelps' ban comes less than a month after Ukad chief executive Nicole Sapstead said a "societal problem" could be the cause of steroid drug use in Welsh rugby.

The Reds started third - three points behind leaders Chelsea - but defeated Bristol 3-0, while the Blues lost 2-1 at Manchester City.
Birmingham began the day two points behind Chelsea, but could only draw 2-2 against Notts County.
Goals from Natasha Dowie, Lucy Bronze and a penalty from Fara Williams gave Liverpool victory.
The afternoon had started with Chelsea boosted by the absence from the Manchester City team sheet of several key players, four days ahead of City's Continental Cup final against Arsenal.
And when Birmingham went a goal down inside three minutes, Aileen Whelan heading Notts in front, the prospects for Emma Hayes' team appeared still brighter.
Fiona Sullivan's close-range strike then doubled Notts County's lead as Birmingham began to drift out of the reckoning, but Chelsea's fortunes also took a downward turn when Jill Scott's 24th-minute drive flew into the net for a Man City opener.
Ten minutes later Toni Duggan fired in from 18 yards to double the lead and suddenly Chelsea had to hope that results elsewhere would remain in their favour.
Birmingham pulled a goal back through Kirsty Linnet and were then awarded a penalty two minutes before half-time - but Karen Carney's spot-kick was saved by Carly Telford.
As Carney's shot was being saved, Liverpool were going agonisingly close to taking the lead against Bristol Academy, Bronze heading against the bar - but 10 minutes after the interval they finally got their noses in front, Dowie giving them the lead in Widnes.
By that time however, substitute Hannah Keryakoplis had equalised for Birmingham to put Dave Parker's side back in the hunt.
The Reds doubled their lead when Bronze drilled in a low cross-cross shot, and 20 minutes from time the unlikely title defence looked on as Williams' penalty virtually assured victory and gave a crucial boost to their goal difference.
But even as the Reds' celebrations were going on, Chelsea were putting themselves back in contention thanks to Gilly Flaherty's header.
That left Blues with 19 minutes plus stoppage time to get the goal and point they needed to make sure of taking the title.
The task was made a little easier when City defender Abbie McManus was sent off for elbowing.
But despite piling on the pressure they were unable to force an equaliser and - once full-time was confirmed at Birmingham too - it was Liverpool's former Chelsea manager Matt Beard who ended the season with the biggest smile in the WSL.
Saul Perlmutter and Adam Riess of the US and Brian Schmidt of Australia will divide the prize.
The trio studied what are called Type 1a supernovae, determining that more distant objects seem to move faster.
Their observations suggest that not only is the Universe expanding, its expansion is relentlessly speeding up.
Prof Perlmutter of the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded half the 10m Swedish krona (£940,000) prize, with Prof Schmidt of the Australian National University and Prof Riess of Johns Hopkins University's Space Telescope Science Institute sharing the other half.
Prof Schmidt spoke to the Nobel commitee from Australia during the ceremony.
"It feels like when my children were born," he said.
"I feel weak at the knees, very excited and somewhat amazed by the situation. It's been a pretty exciting last half hour."
The trio's findings form the basis of our current understanding of the Universe's origins, but raises a number of difficult questions.
In order to explain the rising expansion, cosmologists have suggested the existence of what is known as dark energy. Although its properties and nature remain mysterious, the predominant theory holds that dark energy makes up some three-quarters of the Universe.
But at the time the work was first being considered, no such exotic explanations were yet needed.
"It seemed like my favourite kind of job - a wonderful chance to ask something absolutely fundamental: the fate of the Universe and whether the Universe was infinite or not," Prof Perlmutter told BBC News.

He led the Supernova Cosmology Project beginning in 1988, and Prof Schmidt and Prof Riess began work in 1994 on a similar project known as the High-z Supernova Search Team.
Their goal was to measure distant Type 1a supernovae - the brilliant ends of a particular kind of dense star known as a white dwarf.
Because their explosive ends are of roughly the same brightness, the amount of light observed from the supernovae on Earth should be an indication of their distance; slight shifts in their colour indicate how fast they are moving.
At the time, the competing teams expected to find that the more distant supernovae were slowing down, relative to those nearer - a decline of the expansion of the Universe that began with the Big Bang.
Instead, both teams found the same thing: distant supernovae were in fact speeding up, suggesting that the Universe is destined for an ever-increasing expansion.
Prof Perlmutter said the fact that the two teams were rivals was probably best to set the scene for a surprising outcome.
"It was fierce competition in those last four or five years of the work," he said.
"The two groups announced their results within just weeks of each other and they agreed so closely; that's one of the things that made it possible for the scientific community to accept the result so quickly."
That result in the end sparked a new epoch in cosmology, seeking to understand what is driving the expansion, and Prof Perlmutter is enthusiastic that such fundamental problems have been highlighted by the Nobel committee.
"It's an unusual opportunity, a chance for so many people to share in the excitement and the fun of the fact that we may be on to hints as to what the Universe is made out of. I guess the whole point of a prize like this is to be able to get that out into the community."
Commenting on the prize, Prof Sir Peter Knight, head of the UK's Institute of Physics, said: "The recipients of today's award are at the frontier of modern astrophysics and have triggered an enormous amount of research on dark energy."
"These researchers have opened our eyes to the true nature of our Universe," he added. "They are very well-deserved recipients."
The Nobel prizes have been given out annually since 1901, covering the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace.
Monday's award of the 2011 prize for physiology or medicine went to Bruce Beutler of the US, Jules Hoffmann from France and Ralph Steinman from Canada for their work on immunology.
This year's chemistry prize will be announced on Wednesday.
Planners had recommended that Derry City and Strabane District Council reject the proposal to remember the thousands of women who worked in the city's bygone textile industry.
On Wednesday, councillors rejected that recommendation and backed the artwork.
Artist Louise Walsh said it made for a very happy International Women's day.
"What was fantastic was the sense of people coming together, and it was so fitting that it was International Women's day," said Ms Walsh.
"I know there is expertise in the planning, but there's also expertise in our councillors' experience and there was so much expertise in our factory workers ability to pull the economy through awful times.
"I got phone calls from factory workers yesterday, there were women crying on the phone to me."
Ms Walsh had threatened to walk away from the project because of the planning delays.
Derry once boasted nearly 30 shirt factories, one of which is the now demolished Tille and Henderson's.
The rectangular, red brick-building, located at the end of the Craigavon Bridge, was thought to be the largest shirt factory in the world.
It allowed factory girls to become the working backbone of their families in a city where there were little or no jobs for men.
They were immortalised by the songwriter Phil Coulter in The Town I loved so Well: "In the early morning the shirt factory horn called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog."
The factory girls' sculpture consists of a large steel wheel and a decorative steel archway to resemble a needle panel.
Stonework would be laid on the ground between the two, depicting the surface of a sewing machine.
The cost of of installing the artwork was last projected to be about £150,000.
"I think it would have been a travesty for the city if we didn't overturn that planners' decision," said Sinn Féin councillor Patricia Logue.
"I am extremely proud to be able to propose that we do overturn it for the recognition that the women of this city has contributed to the makings of this city.
"This has been a long time in the making."
It is understood that the plans will return to council next month, before being put before the Department of Infrastructure.
Ryk Downes' collapsed with a heart attack in January, but was saved thanks to a defibrillator at the Post Office in Pool-in-Wharfedale, near Leeds.
Two passing motorists stopped and administered CPR, using the defibrillator to restart his heart.
Mr Downes, a Lib Dem councillor, is raising money to buy more of the devices.
The 51-year-old, who is running the race in Leeds later, told how he was on his daily run when he collapsed yards form his home.
"It was a congenital condition, it could have happened at any time," he said
"I was totally unaware. I don't even remember it happening. I was very lucky.
"I was the first person to be saved in the area by a community defibrillator so I want to raise money to help others."
The 29-year-old, who won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics, was targeted as she was answering questions during a show about women in sport.
"I think it's always difficult when it's attacking how you look because there is not a lot you can do about changing that," she tells Radio 1.
"It is hard when you hear people saying you look like a horse."
Sky Sports was forced to issue a statement last January condemning the "unacceptable and offensive abuse" she received while answering sports-related questions in a slot called The Everyday Sexism Project.
One man tweeted, "Are all sportswomen lesbians?" while another said, "Do you think pregnancy is a poor injury excuse and women should be able to run it off?"
Beth says she was shocked but wasn't really tempted to reply.
"If you start to reply to them you're giving them the satisfaction that they know that you've read it - and it has hurt you.
"Whereas if you ignore it, because it is at the end of a computer or a phone, they don't even know whether you've seen it.
"If you start to retaliate it's only going to make it worse because then they'll retaliate back and it'll just end up as a Twitter war."
Beth competed at three Olympic Games and won three gold medals at world championships and six golds at European championships.
Since retiring in August 2013 she has made guest appearances on BBC show Tumble and was a judge on Junior MasterChef.
She also finished third in the final series of ITV's Dancing on Ice.
Beth, from Bunbury, Cheshire says she forgave most of the people who sent offensive messages because many said sorry.
"Quite a lot of the people that sent the comments actually apologised to me. They would later send tweets saying, 'We didn't realise how hurtful they would be.'
"A lot of the time you're sat behind a computer or behind a tablet phone or whatever it is that you use the social media on, and these people - they don't realise that actually it's a person at the end of that that's going to receive that Twitter message or that Facebook message.
"Whether they were told to apologise, I don't know, but I accepted their apology and I moved on from it."
Beth is speaking out as part of a week of shows on Radio 1 tackling cyberbullying.
She says if you're being bullied online, or in person, you have to tell someone.
"It is OK to speak about it and it's not always easy.
"You know what it's like when you're in school and there was something said to you. You don't want to say something in case the backlash is worse than what it is.
"But it's better than suffering in silence.
"The one thing that gymnastics taught me was, 'Before you sent the tweet, would you like your nan to read it?' And that is one thing that I've always stuck to."
You can hear more from Beth on Radio 1 Stories: Anti-Social Media on Tuesday night at 21:00 GMT.
Radio 1 has linked up with YouthNet to host an hour of live advice on how to deal with online bullying between 10-11pm every night (Mon-Thurs) and there's help at BBC Advice.

A report, put before councillors, said both locations are close to the city and would attract the largest number of users from the A4, A46 and A363.
It recommended if "site B", with 800 spaces, cannot be secured then "site F", also 800 spaces, should be sought.
A meeting of Bath and North East Somerset Council on 25 January will consider both options.
Councillors were told neither site was in a flood plain and that "site B" had potential for a future rail link.
Conservative leader Councillor Tim Warren said the park-and-ride was crucial to the council's plan to improve transport, tackle congestion and grow the local economy.
"The debate we need to have is not about whether Bath needs new infrastructure. It's about how we can deliver new infrastructure in a way that protects Bath's heritage and is sensitive to its surroundings, whilst at the same time meets the needs of a growing, thriving city," he said.
The proposed eastern park-and-ride would join the city's other three at Newbridge, Lansdown and Odd Down.
The ability of the malaria parasite to shrug off the effects of artemisinin has been spreading since it emerged in South East Asia.
Tests, published in Lancet Infectious Diseases, now show this resistance on the verge of entering India.
Experts said the development was "alarming" and an "enormous threat".
Deaths from malaria have nearly halved since 2000, and the infection now kills about 584,000 people each year.
But resistance to artemisinin threatens to undo all that hard work, and it has been detected in:
Blood samples from 940 people with malaria from 55 sites across Myanmar showed this resistance was widespread across the country.
One site, in the Sagaing region, showed that resistant parasites were just 25km (15 miles) from the Indian border.
One of the researchers, Dr Charles Woodrow, from the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit, in Thailand, told the BBC News website: "We can see artemisinin resistance is clearly present quite close to the Indian border, that's clearly a threat and in the future is likely to lead to extension of the problem to neighbouring areas."
Artemisinin is normally given as part of combination therapy.
Initially the other drug will pick up the slack to keep the combination effective, but Dr Woodrow says this resistance will "inevitably" lead to it failing.
"If this were to spread into India, malaria will continue to affect rural populations there, but there may not be an immediate effect on cure-rate," he said.
"But beyond the short term, there is very likely to be a problem, and there are very few [other] drugs on the table."
This has all happened before.
Chloroquine probably saved hundreds of millions of lives, but resistance was discovered in 1957 around the border between Cambodia and Thailand.
Resistance spread around the world and reached Africa 17 years later.
There is no evidence of artemisinin resistance in Africa yet, although there is concern that history is about to repeat itself with deadly consequences.
Dr Woodrow told the BBC: "The evidence from the global spread of chloroquine resistance is this translates to a large increase in the number of cases and a higher number of deaths."
South East Asia has been implicated in the rise of resistance to both chloroquine and artemisinin.
The main explanation is that lower levels of natural malaria immunity exist in the region than in Africa.
With no background resistance, the drugs have to do all the work in infected patients in South East Asia.
But there are far more cases of malaria in Africa, and repeat infection is common so people there develop some immunity.
It means the natural immune system and the drug share the load of fighting off malaria.
This makes South East Asia a riper region for the parasite to develop resistance.
Prof Philippe Guerin, the director of the Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network, said: "This study highlights that the pace at which artemisinin resistance is spreading or emerging is alarming.
"We need a more vigorous international effort to address this issue in border regions."
Prof Mike Turner, the head of infection and immunobiology at the Wellcome Trust medical charity, said: "The new research shows that history is repeating itself, with parasites resistant to artemisinin drugs, the mainstay of modern malaria treatment, now widespread in Myanmar.
"We are facing the imminent threat of resistance spreading into India, with thousands of lives at risk."
Coinciding with the Year of Food and Drink, a Scottish government-led celebration, dairy products will be the focus of events in August.
The trail is designed to allow visitors and locals to travel around Scotland's best ice cream sellers.
Leaflets have been produced to highlight more than 100 businesses. The trail has been launched at The Milk Barn in Falkirk.
The government estimates that Scotland generates over £2.5m every day through food and drink tourism.
Scotland's Food Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "I'm delighted to hear that Scotland's Ice Cream Trail has been launched - our dairy produce is among the best in the world and it extends to so much more than milk.
"It's great that this has been launched during the Year of Food and Drink and couldn't have been timed better for the start of Delicious Dairy Month in August."
Suzannah Reid, from The Milk Barn, added: "We're delighted to be part of Scotland's Ice Cream Trail and look forward to welcoming lots of new visitors as a result.
"Our ice cream is made using milk from our very own herd of cows, which are milked just yards away every morning, to make a wonderful and diverse range of flavours which delight our many customers."
Police said they were investigating a "series of incidents" involving several men in the Splott area between 11:00 and 14:00 GMT on Monday.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to the incidents in Mercia Road, Splott Road, Habershon Street and Wilkinson Close.
A 31-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the assault.
The victim was taken to the University of Hospital of Wales via air ambulance.
Detective Inspector Tracey Rankine, of Cardiff Bay CID, said: "Incidents of this nature will not be tolerated and we have already made one arrest and are also pursuing other lines of enquiry concerning this investigation.
"I want to reassure residents that assaults of this nature are unusual and we have increased our patrols in the area." | Police have opened a criminal investigation into an allegation of bribery after reviewing material from the Daily Telegraph's investigation into suspected corruption in football.

The president said that the two countries would stay close to ensure "economic growth and financial stability".
He said the UK and EU were still "indispensable partners" for the US.
The UK's decision to leave the EU had raised questions about its relationship with the US, a long-time ally.
"While the UK's relationship with the EU will change, one thing that will not change is special relationship that exists between our two nations," Mr Obama said.
The president said he was confident that the UK was committed to an orderly transition from the EU.
During a visit to the UK in April Mr Obama urged Britons to vote to stay in the EU.
He warned that a Brexit would put the UK at "the back of the queue" for negotiating a trade deal with the US, which is focused on striking a free trade deal with the EU.
Mr Obama said he valued his relationship with David Cameron, who said today he would step down as prime minister by October. The two men will have been in office for nearly the same period of time.
The president was speaking at Stanford University on Friday at an entrepreneur summit.
"Yesterday's vote speaks to the ongoing changes and challenges that are raised by globalisation," he told the audience.
The General Dental Council (GDC) said a lack of communication between senior managers is damaging the education of dental students.
The head of the School of Dentistry said he was "embarrassed" by the report but that steps were under way to deal with the issues highlighted.
The report called for urgent action.
It also said it was putting the safety of the public at risk and called for greater modernisation of the training programmes for students.
"There is very poor communication between the various parties involved in the delivery of the programme and an overall lack of joined-up thinking," the interim report added.
The training programme will be deemed sufficient pending a re-inspection in early 2012.
The GDC also said there was an urgent need for greater leadership and more specialist teachers.
The inspection, which took place at short notice last May, was arranged after concerns were raised with the council regarding the suitability of training provision at Belfast School of Dentistry.
After a two day visit, they concluded that "single-handed" consultants were working in oral surgery and paediatric dentistry, which they said was unacceptable.
It also said the shortage of strategic leadership for restorative dentistry undermined the programme.
Students who attend Queen's University gain their practical experience at the Royal School of Dentistry on the Falls Road site.
However, the GDC found that students were failing to gain that vital experience as timetables did not include enough clinical sessions.
Speaking to the BBC, Professor Patrick Johnston, Dean of the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences at Queen's University Belfast said the team had welcomed the inspectors and had learned greatly from the visit.
"We have already taken on board much of what they have said - now it's time to move forward. We recognise there was a lack of communication between the various bodies and that may have impacted on students," he added.
The various bodies which Professor Johnston refers to include senior management at the School of Dentistry, the Belfast Health Trust, the Health Board and the Department of Health.
Professor Johnston said that the university "accepted the report" but stressed that much work to address its findings had already been undertaken.
According to the professor, some of the problems relate back to the reorganisation of medicine and dentistry departments at the university which began in 2008.
This was also highlighted by inspectors who said there was a general feeling that more focus was being placed on medicine with dental staff feeling they had been left behind.
The report said: "There are concerns that the dental school has become collateral damage, while the main focus has been on raising the profile of the medical school."
Inspectors said it was clear that staff are feeling over-stretched and under pressure.
Last year, the Belfast's Royal School of Dentistry, came under the spotlight when 117 dental patients were recalled after the Belfast trust discovered their files had not been properly reviewed.
Four of them were cancer patients who died - three from oral cancer.
While this incident was not mentioned by inspectors, a source has told the BBC it was no coincidence they arrived when they did.
Professor Johnston said that while there was "no direct link to this report he would accept that people may be concerned about the two".
The school of dentistry has already put in place a series of measures addressing some of the issues. An additional four new posts have been filled with three more to be created within the next six months.
Barkley had two simple tap-ins, the first after Brad Guzan saved from Gerard Deulofeu, the second following some awful Villa defending.
In between, Lukaku headed his 50th Premier League goal, then finished a wonderful move soon after half-time.
Villa are without a win in 12 games since the opening day of the season.
A tally of five points after 13 matches is their worst return in any of their previous top-flight campaigns and they remain five from safety.
Everton, meanwhile, have scored 10 goals in recording back-to-back home wins for the first time since April and climb to seventh.

If a creditable goalless draw with Manchester City in Remi Garde's first match in charge gave Villa some optimism about beating the drop, then this was the starkest of reality checks.
Garde looked to build on the solidity of that draw, his intention clear in the early stages with Villa happy to to concede possession and keep men behind the ball.
However, the visiting defence was not up to the task of dealing with Lukaku, Barkley and the excellent Deulofeu.
Not only that, but Villa also created problems for themselves. For Everton's third goal, no fewer than four defenders and the on-rushing Guzan failed to deal with the ball bouncing in the area, with Barkley eventually rolling into an empty net.
On top of all this, Villa showed virtually no attacking threat, with not one of their players posting an average position in Everton territory during the first half.
By this evidence, Garde faces an almighty task if he is to keep Villa from relegation.
Pinning this result solely on the inadequacies of Villa would be unfair on Everton, who put in a ruthless, clinical and entertaining display of attacking football.
Deulofeu tormented Kieran Richardson down the Everton right, from where the majority of the home team's attacking threat came.
His shot, after good work from Lukaku and James McCarthy, led to Barkley's opener, with Seamus Coleman again supplying from the right for Lukaku's header to make it 2-0.
Barkley nipped in to take advantage of the defensive chaos for the third, but it was Everton's fourth that was most impressive and came as their three stars linked up.
Deulofeu surged through the middle, fed Barkley, whose one-touch pass was perfectly placed into the path of Lukaku, who lifted over Guzan.
Lukaku's first goal was his 50th in the Premier League, the 22-year-old becoming only the fifth man - alongside Robbie Fowler (92), Michael Owen (91), Wayne Rooney (71) and Cristiano Ronaldo (54) - to reach that landmark before his 23rd birthday.
This was the 201st league meeting between Everton and Villa, and it is the most played fixture in English league football.
If Villa fail to improve, then the 202nd in March could be the last for some time.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It was a really strong performance. You're are always worried how you will react after an international break, but it was very pleasing. It was a complete performance.

"You get used to hearing Lukaku's name, but it's a good reminder that he is such a young man. It is a very elite group that he has joined. It is great to see him growing all the time and this season he has gone to a different level.
"Ross Barkley is coming into his mature best. To play the amount of football he has in the last seven days and still get to that level is remarkable."
Aston Villa manager Remi Garde: "In the first 30 minutes we were not good enough to resist. We didn't want to concede an early goal and we did. After that it was too difficult.
"When you concede four goals it is not a good performance. We will have to work on that. The second half was better. I was not pleased at all with the first half.
"I knew the size of the task before I came. Today we lost 4-0, I prefer to lose one game 4-0 than four games 1-0. We have to be ready for the next game, because that is very important."
Villa's long quest for a win next takes in the visit of Watford next Saturday. Everton make the long trip to Bournemouth on the same day.
Universities feared the uncertainty could put off applicants from the EU.
But will free tuition for EU students continue after Britain leaves the Union in 2019?
Scottish politicians will need to take a lot into account before deciding what to do.
The students in the spotlight are the 13,500 or so students from other EU countries who plan to study for the whole of their degree at a Scottish university - not exchange students here for a limited period of time as part of their course.
The Scottish government sees the abolition of tuition fees for Scottish university students as one of its proudest achievements.
Former first minister Alex Salmond famously said "the rocks would melt in the sun" before they would be charged fees.
European law means students from other EU countries also have to be able to access free tuition in Scotland in exactly the same way as Scots.
Free tuition for EU students was never an active aim of Scottish government policy - it was seen as the price worth paying for a policy which the government believed was right for Scots.
But it is still possible to charge tuition fees to students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Essentially, this is because it is possible under European law to discriminate between students from different parts of one member state - in other words different parts of the UK - but not against people from other states.
Free tuition for students from other parts of the UK could have led to Scotland being swamped by students seeking to avoid fees but there is a natural limit on the number of students from further afield who would want to spend four years at at university in an English-speaking country.
In practice, EU students compete against Scots for the same publicly-funded university places though, of course, the overwhelming majority of places go to Scots and the number of Scots at university is around its highest level.
Students from other parts of the UK and countries outside Europe pay tuition fees. Universities can decide for themselves how many to admit, essentially using the law of supply and demand.
Scottish universities proudly see themselves as international institutions.
They are determined to ensure that EU students continue to feel welcomed and valued in Scotland after Brexit and many have practical concerns - for example over what rights EU students may have to work in Scotland or whether they can use public services after Brexit.
But on the narrow issue of free tuition, might new EU students start to be charged fees for courses which begin in 2019 and after?
The answer may well be a political calculation. Would it be politically acceptable to voluntarily provide free tuition to EU students while those from other parts of the UK are charged fees?
If the Scottish government was trying to seek to maintain the closest possible links with the EU then it may conclude that free tuition was an appropriate use of its resources.
Similarly, if Scotland was on the path towards independence and hoped to rejoin the EU, then it is unlikely that the government would want to do anything which would need to be changed once Scotland actually rejoined.
But there are strong arguments the other way too.
If Scotland is not in the EU, would voluntarily providing free tuition to EU students be acceptable to the public? By implication, any EU student with a free place has a place which may otherwise have gone to a Scottish applicant.
The Scottish government wants to help ensure that more youngsters from disadvantaged areas get to university.
Universities support the aim but warn that unless the total number of available places increases at a similar rate, it could become even harder for those Scots who are merely "not disadvantaged" to get in. Ending free EU tuition could help make more places available for Scots at no extra cost to the taxpayer.
Nobody in the mainstream would want to suggest that EU students are anything other than welcomed or valued by Scottish universities. The question would be whether it would be reasonable to charge them fees.
And if so, would they be charges on the same basis as students from other parts of the UK? Or would they pay the uncapped fees levied to students from countries outside Europe.
If students from other parts of the UK are charged fees, it could seem like active discrimination against them if EU students are being offered free tuition.
The Scottish government will need to decide at some point in the next year or so just what should happen in 2019. There are strong arguments to consider on both sides.
Meanwhile many real worries and practical uncertainties remain for current students from EU countries.
They know they will be able to complete their studies without being charged fees. But much still needs to be discussed and agreed about their position after Brexit or whether they would need a visa to work here after they graduate
Speaking on a visit to the front line to the east of the city, Haider al-Abadi said government-led forces "will not retreat and will not be broken".
He said his message to the people of Mosul was "we will liberate you soon".
The city has been under IS control for more than two years.
Mr Abadi called on IS fighters to surrender after government forces gained a foothold in Mosul's eastern suburbs.
"My message to IS, if they want to save their lives, they should lay down their weapons now," the prime minister told reporters.
Government forces on Saturday also gained control of Hammam al-Alil, about 15 km (10 miles) south of Mosul on the Tigris river, despite fierce resistance, the army said.
Lieutenant-General Raed Shakir Jawdat said security forces were in control of the centre of the town, but did not say whether IS militants had been pushed out completely.
The operation to take back control of Mosul continued as government forces tried to clear the eastern districts, including al-Zahra, which they entered on Friday.
Government troops and IS fighters exchanged sniper fire from residential rooftops, with both sides also firing mortar rounds. The fiercest clashes were in the al-Bakr area.
Satellite images of Mosul reveal how IS fighters constructed multiple barricades across key routes into the northern Iraqi city.
Concrete barricades and rubble can be seen blocking key streets, while buildings near Mosul airport were levelled for line-of-sight reasons.
Mosul fell to the jihadists in June 2014 and their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, chose a mosque in the city as a place to proclaim the establishment of a "caliphate".
Before the offensive began on 17 October, there were believed to be between 3,000 and 5,000 militants remaining in Mosul, along with up to 1.5 million civilians.
"Do you like it?" he asks her. "Yes," is her reply.
It is an innocuous scene, except that the young man, Kanhaiya, has waited a long time to give his mother a gift.
Nineteen years ago, his mother Vijai Kumari was convicted of murder - wrongfully, she claimed.
She was granted bail on appeal but she did not have the 10,000 rupees ($180; £119) she needed to post bail. Her husband abandoned her and no-one else came forward to help her.
"I thought I'd die in prison," she says. "They told me in there that no-one ever gets out."
She was pregnant when she went to jail. Four months later, Kanhaiya was born.
"I sent him away when he got a bit older. It was hard but I was determined. Prison is no place for a young child," she says.
So she stayed in prison all these years, lost in the system and forgotten.
All she had to keep her going was a passport-size photograph of her son and his visits to her every three months.
Kanhaiya spent most of his childhood growing up at various juvenile homes. And he never forgot his mother.
"I would think of her and cry," he says, speaking softly and with a lisp.
"She was in prison, all alone. No-one else ever visited her. And my father turned his back on her."
As soon as he turned 18, he was trained to work in a garment factory. And he began saving up to get his mother out.
Eventually, he hired a lawyer.
"Someone told me about him. He was surprised to hear about my mother's case."
The lawyer took on his case and earlier this month, his mother was freed from prison.
Judges expressed their shock at her situation and the "callous and careless" behaviour of the authorities.
They have now ordered a sweep of all the prisons in Uttar Pradesh state to see if there are others like Vijai Kumari.
The reality is that hers is not an isolated case.
There are an estimated 300,000 inmates in India's prisons, 70% of whom are yet to face trial. And many of them have spent a long time in custody.
It is a reflection of India's shambolic and sluggish legal system where it can often take years for a case to be heard and a trial to be concluded.
But, for the moment, mother and son are reunited and anxious about their future.
"All I want is for my son to be settled," Vijai Kumari says, her voice breaking and her eyes moist.
"He's all I have in this world."
Kanhaiya and his mother plan to approach his estranged father and fight for their rights, including a share of the family property.
But for now, they are taking in the present and trying to make up for all the time they have lost.

Anderson's Inner Circle and Dean Holdsworth's Sports Shield completed a takeover from Eddie Davies last month.
The Wanderers, £179.2m in debt, have already been relegated this season.
"Our initial job is to make sure we perform on the pitch and then make sure we get our finances in order and give the best opportunity to go forward," he told North West Tonight.
"As I sit now I'm the current custodian, along with Dean, at this club and we've got to try and change things and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Fans are happy if things perform well on the pitch, if they don't they're very unhappy."
Saturday's 4-1 loss at Derby confirmed Bolton's drop into the third tier of English football for the first time since 1992-93.
They were in the Premier League as recently as 2012, having competed in the Uefa Cup in 2008, and Anderson aims to return the club to that level as soon as possible.
"Short-term [the ambition is] to get promoted again next year," he said.
"And then like everybody else's dream to get back in the Premier League. That's a very tough call nowadays.
"If we could emulate what Bournemouth have done, I'd be very happy."
Anderson confirmed that they have a shortlist of three candidates as they search for a new manager and an appointment could be close.
Neil Lennon left shortly after the takeover, but interim boss Jimmy Phillips could not prevent relegation to League One.
"I think with the three candidates we'll have a second interview with all three of them," said Anderson.
"Hopefully we'll be able to reach a decision as to which manager we would like to appoint.
"It's probably likely to be next week, as a couple of them are still in jobs."
Asked if ex-Bolton captain Kevin Nolan, who was demoted from his position as player-manager at Leyton Orient on Tuesday, was one of the three, Anderson responded: "As far as I know, he hasn't applied."
They want to align the number of people coming to the UK - 596,000 in the year to last September - with those leaving, which was 323,000 over the same period.
Unskilled and low-skilled labour would be banned for five years while skilled workers and students would need visas.
Party leader Paul Nuttall said the "radical" plan would put "clear water" between it and the Conservatives.
It comes amid signs that Theresa May will retain a controversial target to reduce levels of net migration - which totalled 273,000 in the last recorded figures - to the tens of thousands in her party's manifesto.
The target, first set by David Cameron in the run-up to the 2010 election and criticised by business, has been repeatedly missed since then but the prime minister said it was still important to continue to aim for "sustainable" levels.
Net migration is the difference between the numbers of people moving to the UK for more than a year, and the numbers of people leaving the UK to live elsewhere for a year or more.
UKIP, which is seeking to bounce back from a poor set of local election results, said the Conservatives could not be trusted over the issue and only it had the "political will" to bring about a sizeable reduction in immigration, before and after the UK leaves the European Union.
Announcing its policy for June's general election, immigration spokesman John Bickley said England was the "sixth most overcrowded country in the world", with immigration levels putting pressure on public services and community cohesion and depressing wage levels for British workers.
Under its "one-in, one-out" plan, annual levels of migration would be reduced from 600,000 to about 300,000. There would be a five-year moratorium on unskilled and low-skilled labour, although seasonal workers, such as fruit pickers, would still be able to apply for six-month visas. (Under current rules anyone moving to the UK less than a year is not counted for the purposes of migration figures.)
The number of workers, students and family members given visas would be determined by an Australian-style points system while the whole system would be overseen by a new Migration Control Commission.
Even though the free movement of EU workers will still apply until Brexit, expected to happen in 2019, and the common travel area with the Republic of Ireland is expected to be maintained, UKIP believes it can bring net migration into balance within five years.
Although it will not set annual targets, it is committed to then keeping the average figure at zero over a rolling five year period.
"Net migration has been the equivalent of a city the size of Birmingham over the past three years," Mr Nuttall said. "This is clearly unsustainable and it is clearly unfair, particularly to inner city communities."
Of the 596,000 people who came to the UK in the last year, 268,000 were from the EU while 257,000 were from elsewhere in the world, with the remaining 71,000 being British citizens returning. At the same time, 323,000 people left the UK.
Mr Bickley said UKIP still wanted to attract the "brightest and best" to the UK, including foreign students, but there could not be an unlimited number of people coming to study due to the pressures it placed on housing and other infrastructure.
He said the number of visas for seasonal workers from abroad would be gradually reduced as British workers were trained to take their places.
"There used to be a time when it was a rite of passage that people going through, if you like, an internal gap year in this country... that to get some extra cash... they'd go fruit picking," he added.

Police were called to a site in Parnell Road following the discovery of the unexploded ordnance.
The explosion was carried out in Victoria Park and captured on camera by Guy Shelton.
Teachers at Ysgol San Sior primary school, in Llandudno, hope to show students the value of economics as well as how bees produce honey.
Their produce will go on sale at the historical Conwy Honey Fair on Tuesday.
Pupil Grace, 10, said: "It's quite amazing, not many schools have what we have, I feel very privileged."
The school also farmed chickens for their eggs in 2014.
Since the Carl Frampton-Leo Santa Cruz rematch was announced, thousands of Frampton fans have been busy making their plans, saving their money, and buying their T-shirts for the trip of a lifetime to come to the mecca of boxing to support their local hero.
Not since the halcyon days of Ricky Hatton has a fighter from the United Kingdom brought such a following to Vegas. While it will take some doing for any boxer to match the estimated 33,000 supporters Hatton brought over in December 2007 for his highly anticipated bout with Floyd Mayweather, Frampton has a large and loyal fan base that continues to grow.
It all led to an incredible atmosphere on the Strip with a sea of green and chants of 'mon the Jackal' emanating from many a hotel casino in the days leading up to the fight.

The sense of anticipation continued to build in the MGM Grand Hotel on Friday at the weigh-in and on Saturday ahead of the fight. The MGM's Grand Garden Arena has hosted many iconic fights down the years, and given the quality of their first world featherweight title contest, the rematch was widely expected to be another classic.
Vegas is notorious for the chancers and spivs who weave their way round the Strip. The way Frampton and Santa Cruz conducted themselves in the build-up to, during and after their fights has been in stark contrast to that, with honesty, sportsmanship and mutual respect emanating from all their actions.
The bonhomie between the fighters extended to both sets of supporters on fight night with the Irish and Mexicans mixing well before and after the fight. This led to some unexpected sights including a group of Santa Cruz supporters singing "everywhere we go - it's the Ulster boys making all the noise" and Frampton fans trying to explain to a rather bemused group of Mexicans who Gareth McAuley and Stevie Davis are, and why they were being continually celebrated in song.
While 'Sweet Caroline' was sung with the usual gusto and the fans gave feverish support to Frampton as he made his way to the ring, his supporters were acutely aware that the two fighters are evenly matched and that the fight was likely to be another tight affair. So the tension was palpable in the arena at times during the fight.
The bout was another demonstration of boxing at the highest level and the majority decision in favour of Santa Cruz reflected the closeness of the contest.
But Frampton was heroic until the end. His gracious comments in his post fight interview did him immense credit, proving he is as class an act in defeat as he has always been in the ring.
He did not attempt to make any excuses for the loss - but simply conceded his opponent was the better man on the night. The way he has conducted himself since the result has left an indelible mark in Vegas, with a number of Mexican and American fight fans commenting on how they were struck by the dignity and humility Frampton demonstrated in defeat.
One of the reasons Frampton generates such devotion from his fans is that he has remained genuinely unaffected by the great success he has achieved and the fame that has come with it. It is very evident he appreciates the huge level of support and loyalty he generates in his fans, and he is keenly aware of the financial sacrifices his fans have made to support him on his quest to conquer America, which is why he is adamant his next fight will be in Belfast.
The loyalty is reciprocal as it is clear the support means a great deal to Frampton, and in the immediate aftermath of his first career defeat he spoke of feeling he had let his fans down. But none of his supporters felt let down at all, they were all aware that Frampton had lost narrowly to an excellent fighter, and they wanted to show the Tigers Bay man that they would be backing him now more than ever.
This was evident in the feverish cries of "there's only one Carl Frampton" as soon as the result was announced in the ring and in the raucous welcome Frampton received the following day when he attended a post-fight party in a local Irish bar.
At that gathering in the Irish bar, the overwhelming feeling from the fans was that while they were of course disappointed the Ulsterman had lost, they felt it was a very close fight and they just wanted to be there to demonstrate to Frampton that they would support him in the tough times as well as the good.
As many of the Jackal's fans began their long journey home on Monday, they were in upbeat mood, in spite of the result, as Jonathan from Antrim explained.
"While the result was obviously not what we wanted, Frampton fought well, and certainly did not disgrace himself in the ring. The way he has accepted defeat has also reflected well on him," said Jonathan.
"The whole trip has been amazing. Seeing so many people from Northern Ireland descend on the Vegas Strip to support one of our own has been fantastic. Northern Ireland is on a real sporting high at the minute with the success of our golfers, our football team and of course Carl's achievements. Long may it continue."
Throughout fight weekend in Vegas, as the song goes, the Ulster Boys really were making all the noise with casino bosses eager for another Frampton fight on the Strip before too long.
For many Frampton fans, recovering physically, emotionally and financially from this "trip of a lifetime" may take some time!
The 35-year-old, who has 15 New Zealand caps, will make the switch should he receive a visa and pass a medical.
Flynn has played 42 times since joining the French Top 14 club in 2014.
Warriors coach Gregor Townsend said: "We're excited about his arrival, which will be the first time a Rugby World Cup winner has played for Warriors."
Flynn, who was a member of their Rugby World Cup winning squad in 2011. had joined Toulouse after 12 years in Super Rugby with the Crusaders and also played for Southland and Canterbury in his homeland.
"Corey is a very experienced player, who has played at the highest level of the game," said Townsend.
"He will strengthen our leadership group, having captained Canterbury and the Crusaders, as well as the Junior All Blacks.
"He has shown his ability to adapt to a different rugby environment having been involved in 32 games for Toulouse last season, starting in all but one of them.
"Corey is also going to play an important role to help mentor some of our our younger players and bring the best out of the other hookers in our squad."
Flynn, who will compete for a place with Scotland hookers Pat MacArthur and Fraser Brown, has already played at Scotstoun with Toulouse, having started both of their European Rugby Champions Cup games against the Warriors last season.
Flynn said: "When I played at Scotstoun last season, the atmosphere was fantastic and it shows the club has a really good support base.
"I jumped at the chance to join the Warriors after chatting to Gregor and I'm good friends with Scotland full-back Sean Maitland and he couldn't say enough good things about Glasgow.
"I want to help the young hookers at the club by passing on my experience and helping them come to terms with professional rugby in a similar role to the one I had at the Crusaders."
Ben Williams, a teacher at Ysgol-y-Deri in Penarth, denies unacceptable professional conduct over three separate incidents in December 2014.
Two involved pupils with Down's Syndrome and the third a pupil with autism spectrum disorder and behavioural difficulties.
The Education Workforce Council hearing in Cardiff continues.
A fitness to practice committee was told Mr Williams was suspended from the school after the third incident at the school, which had opened two months earlier.
Matthew Richards, representing Mr Williams, said he had been the victim of a "vendetta" by headteacher Chris Britten and governors following earlier disciplinary issues.

Semenya set a new national record to win in one minute 55.28 seconds and finish well clear of silver medallist Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi.
Kenya's Margaret Nyairera Wambui took the bronze medal, while Scot Sharp set a new personal best of 1:57:69.
Semenya, 25, has now won two Olympic medals, after a silver at London 2012.
There she finished behind Russia's Mariya Savinova, who has since been named in a doping report, with the World Anti-Doping Agency saying she should receive a lifetime ban.
Four years on, Semenya finished more than a second clear of Niyonsaba to take the title.
Her time was two seconds adrift of the world record of 1:53:28, set by Jarmila Kratochvilova, running for Czechoslovakia, in July 1983.
"Every athlete's dream is to win a medal, especially in the Olympics," said Semenya.
Semenya has faced continued questions over her eligibility to race after she was subject to gender testing after winning the world title in 2009.
She has since been diagnosed with hyperandrogenism, which means her testosterone levels are far in excess of the vast majority of women.
Semenya was cleared to compete by the International Association of Athletics Federations in 2010 after being sidelined for 11 months while she had tests.
New regulations requiring female athletes to take testosterone-lowering medication if their natural levels were above the legal mark were suspended for two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport last July.
"I have tried to avoid the issue all year," said Sharp.
"You can see how emotional it all was. It is out of our control. We rely on people at the top sorting it out.
"The public can see how difficult it is with the change of rule but all we can do is give it our best."
Former marathon world champion Paula Radcliffe:
"That is why Lynsey Sharp is getting so upset. However hard she goes away and trains, however hard Jenny Meadows goes and trains, they are never going to be able to compete with that level of strength and recovery that those levels of elevated testosterone brings.
"The big issue is, it is not cheating. Caster has done nothing to be in that situation and have those high levels.
"Either they take the medication to suppress the levels, which may affect how they are able to react and perform within races and training, or they choose to have an operation or they choose not to compete.
"It is not a situation they can come out of winning."

Gillespie, 53, slipped and fell into the crowd late on Thursday.
A message on the official Primal Scream Twitter account thanked fans for their support.
The band tweeted: "Thanks everyone who has asked about Bobby, we're waiting for more news but hoping to be back on the road as soon as we get the all clear X."
The band also posted one of Bobby's jackets on Instagram with the message: "M.I.A."
Primal Scream, formed in 1982, are promoting their 11th studio album Chaosmosis.
The band will be playing a number of tour dates in the UK this summer.
Years and years later, it feels her first manifesto pitch as prime minister is the logical conclusion of that.
In her manifesto she tried to make a bold claim, that the Tories had never been the party of untrammelled free markets, that they had always believed that government could be a force for good - indeed that it is time for an end to political tribes, that she is for and represents the mainstream.
The manifesto explicitly rejects the idea of a centre ground that is defined by what she described as Westminster "elites". Instead, she is putting forward the notion that somehow, she can genuinely represent everyone - well, everyone who is in the middle.
Her close team will tell you this is genuinely what she believes, that her long years of campaigning with the Tory voluntary party make her a different political animal to her predecessors and the Cameron clique, placing her firmly in the solid mindset of middle England.
Her values of hard work, more fortitude less flash, match more closely the views of most voters than the Notting Hill gang of before. She went much further too than rejecting the recent past, seeming to spurn what would be considered more Thatcherite values. The roots of her hoped-for "great meritocracy" that includes social obligations go back much further than that.
But don't imagine for one second that this message has not also been tested and discussed with political number crunchers, with Lynton Crosby, the campaign chief and political supremo of the Tory backroom.
The message of new "mainstream" could, they hope, work on many levels. Core to their campaign is to scoop up millions of votes in parts of the country where traditionally the Tories have been considered toxic, where huge numbers of the public would agree with her characterisation all those years ago of the "nasty party".
So whenever she is questioned about being a "red Tory", or a "proper Tory", that fits precisely the narrative that Tory central office are trying to create. That for voters who've never chosen the Tories before, it's "safe" to do so because she is somehow not like the rest of them.
Of course "proper" Tories may be irritated that balancing the books has been pushed back, again. Free-marketeers will be annoyed by the arbitrary immigration target that may have a cost to the economy.
More intervention in industry, no new significant tax cuts, and more or less matching Labour's promised spending on the NHS might rankle.
Like the Labour Party, but on a very different scale, there will be more spending, and borrowing for longer. But rather than trying to please the diehard of her own party, Theresa May wants to win, and win big, by trying to reach out.
The much bigger test of whether her claim to be "mainstream" will come later, if she wins.
How policies are actually delivered is rarely a mirror of their grand-sounding claims in their manifestos. But is her rhetorical redefinition really likely to bring an end to the divisions of left and right?
In this election, the gulf between the two sides is greater than it has been for many years. The Tories were heckled and jeered by protestors as they gathered in Halifax today, where they hope to take Labour seats. Her desired goal of putting an end to political tribes seems a very long way off.
Hamilton was 0.652 seconds clear of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, whose car stopped on the track with an electrical failure halfway through the session.
Nico Rosberg was third, 0.867secs off team-mate Hamilton, but did not set a representative lap on the faster tyre.
The German was just 0.14secs behind Hamilton on the slower 'soft' tyre.
Sunday's Russian Grand Prix - which is live on the BBC Sport website and BBC Radio 5 live Sports Extra - begins at 13:00 BST. Qualifying is at 13:00 on Saturday.
It was exactly the start to the weekend Hamilton would have wanted. The Englishman arrived in Sochi on the Black Sea coast determined to notch his first win of the season and peg back Rosberg's already sizeable advantage in the championship.
Rosberg is leading Hamilton by 36 points after winning all three races so far. The world champion has had a troubled start to the season and has finished second, third and seventh.

Mercedes appear to be in a league of their own so far this weekend.
The trend of the season so far has been Ferrari have tended to look competitive in practice only for Mercedes to extend their advantage in qualifying.
But in Russia, Mercedes have been comfortably quicker from the start of running - with well over half a second of advantage over the red cars.
And Hamilton showed highly impressive pace on his race-simulation run later in the session, comfortably clear of anyone else, including Rosberg.
"It's been a constructive day to start the weekend," he said. "I think we're looking strong here - but we need to keep working hard if we are to try and stay ahead of the Ferraris."
In addition to an apparent lack of pace, Ferrari will be concerned about another reliability failure, especially as they have brought a new, upgraded engine design to this race.
The team have suffered two in-race engine failures so far this season and the impression is forming that they have pushed their reliability too close to the edge in an attempt to close the performance gap to Mercedes.
Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was fourth fastest overall, but more than 0.5secs slower than the German.
"The feeling was all right," said Vettel, who must take a five-place grid penalty on Sunday after being forced into an unscheduled gearbox change.
"The balance was not quite where I wanted it to be, but the circuit should come our way. It was quite slippery. Lacking a bit of information from my side but other people did their homework and hopefully we can copy that a bit."
Vettel handed five-place grid penalty
Behind Mercedes and Ferrari, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was fifth quickest, just 0.101secs ahead of Williams driver Valtteri Bottas, with the second Red Bull of Daniil Kvyat only 0.008secs further adrift.
Behind them, there was some encouraging pace from the McLaren-Hondas, with Jenson Button eighth and Fernando Alonso 10th, sandwiching the second Williams of Felipe Massa.
Next in line were the Toro Rossos, Carlos Sainz edging Max Verstappen, and the Force Indias, with Nico Hulkenberg pipping Sergio Perez.
The new Haas team - who impressed in the first two races in Australia and Bahrain - were struggling, with Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez 16th and 17th respectively, and the Franco-Swiss saying "something is not working on the car" since the Chinese weekend a fortnight ago.

In the morning session, Ricciardo gave the first on-track test to the 'aeroscreen' cockpit head protection design, which Red Bull are hoping will be adopted next year instead of the 'halo' device tried by Ferrari pre-season.
The Australian said: "The vision seemed OK; the first impressions were fine. It was definitely drivable. I would not say you are hindered any more than we are now with visibility."
Governing body the FIA has made it clear it intends for one of the devices to be used next season.
Ricciardo is among the vast majority of drivers who back the move - despite criticism in some quarters - because of the number of accidents in recent years in which drivers have been killed or injured by head impacts.
"The talk has been about the open cockpit and that is what people know F1 for, and that is fair enough," he said.
"It would be great to keep it that way but obviously with accidents that have happened, especially more recently, I think at least not to explore this route seems a bit disrespectful.
"If this becomes the norm, I think everyone will get used to it. I don't think it is as bad as some people are saying."
McLaren driver Alonso re-iterated his support for some from of head protection to be introduced.
"It is a must that it will come from next year," he said. "It is a must for safety - we don't need heroes in the sport right now.
"We don't want anyone getting hurt in the future if there is a solution in place, and it seems there can be a solution so let's introduce it."
Team-mate Button praised design of the 'aeroscreen' device, saying: "I prefer the look of it. I think it looks better than a normal F1 car."

She said she thought Greece could reach an agreement with its creditors - the EU, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank.
Mrs Merkel also told the Bundestag that Germany was working hard to keep Greece in the euro, but said Athens had to follow through on reform commitments.
"I'm still convinced - where there's a will, there's a way," she said.
"If those in charge in Greece can muster the will, an agreement with the three institutions is still possible."
Mrs Merkel added: "In February there was an agreement - the Greek government pledged to carry out structural reforms, and that must be done."
In February, she said, Greece had also "agreed to fulfil its commitments to bondholders".
She was speaking ahead of a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Luxembourg on Thursday.
Greece has less than two weeks left to reach a debt deal or face defaulting on an existing €1.6bn (£1.1bn) loan repayment due to the IMF.
The country has already rolled a €300m payment into those due on 30 June.
Greece's chief negotiator and junior foreign minister, Euclid Tsakalotos, told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme that any deal had to be one that was economically feasible.
"A couple of weeks ago, we presented our ideas, which we thought was the common ground of the negotiations of the last two or three months," he said.
"We think that we have been in a compromising mood, we've been suggesting ideas, whereas the institutions presented a paper that was very close to their original bid.
"So what we are saying is that further compromises can be made, we can search for common ground, but the end product of what we agree on reforms, on the financing for the future, on the investment programme must be economically feasible."
He also said the country must be able to keep its fiscal promises.
Mr Tsakalotos added: "So if we agree for a fiscal surplus of 1% this year and 2% next year, then I have to be able to tell [the Greek prime minister] that we can meet that, not that we're going to have more recession that will make those targets unfeasible, and then the Europeans will come back and say: 'You can't talk to the Greeks because they never deliver their promises'."
Earlier, Mr Tsakalotos told Reuters news agency that without help, Greece would be unable to meet its obligations to the IMF on 30 June.
"At the moment, we haven't got the money," he said.
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said the country had a "political and moral duty" to reach an agreement with creditors over its debt crisis.
But he said Thursday's meeting of eurozone finance ministers was unlikely to bring an immediate solution.
In return for more funding, creditors want further reforms from Greece.
But the ruling Syriza party is resisting those demands and, with talks deadlocked, fears are growing that Greece may default on its debts.
The European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) could extend fresh finance, but are insisting on reform and further austerity measures.
Mr Varoufakis, when asked if there could be an agreement at the meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Luxembourg on Thursday, said: "I do not believe so."
"Tomorrow we will set the scene for what we consider to be our political and moral duty, and that is to reach an agreement very, very quickly with our partners and the institutions," he said.
On Wednesday, Greece's central bank warned that the country could be on a "painful course" to default and exit from both the eurozone and the EU.
The Bank of Greece also warned that the country's economic slowdown would accelerate without a deal.
"Failure to reach an agreement would... mark the beginning of a painful course that would lead initially to a Greek default and ultimately to the country's exit from the euro area and, most likely, from the European Union," it said in a report.
The bank added that about €30bn was withdrawn from Greek bank deposits between October and April.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is set to travel to the St Petersburg International Economic Forum in Russia on Thursday and is scheduled to hold talks with President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
Greece has two weeks remaining to strike a deal with its creditors or face defaulting on an existing €1.6bn (£1.1bn) loan repayment due to the IMF.
The country has already rolled a €300m payment into those due on 30 June.

What impact would Grexit have on UK?
BBC Europe correspondent Chris Morris says that both Greece and its creditors appear to be waiting for the other side to make the next move - and all the while the risk of miscalculation, or of waiting too long, increases.
Tensions between the two sides became clear on Tuesday during a news conference held by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
Mr Juncker, who had been seen as more sympathetic to the Greek government, said that Athens was responsible for the deadlock.
"I am blaming the Greeks for telling things to the Greek public which are not consistent with what I told the Greek prime minister," he said.
Mr Tsipras did call Mr Juncker on Wednesday and they agreed to talk further, but did not set a date, according to the AFP news agency.

On Thursday attention will also be focused on a speech by German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the German parliament at 09:00 local time (07:00 GMT).
Mrs Merkel is under pressure from politicians in her own coalition to take a hard line with Greece.
On Wednesday Andreas Scheuer, the secretary-general of the CSU party, said the Greek government had not "realised the seriousness of the situation yet".
In an interview with Rheinische Post newspaper he said: "They are behaving like clowns sitting in the back of the classroom, although they have received explicit warnings from all sides that they might fail to pass to the next grade."
On Wednesday, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Greece did not want to present new proposals at Thursday's meeting of finance ministers, which "means time is even more pressing".
Greek shares fell sharply again on Wednesday. The Athens General Index closed 3.2% lower which takes its loss for the past four trading sessions to almost 19%.

The 28-year old midfielder has joined the League One side following a successful trial, following his December departure from Levski Sofia.
He can fill the void left by the likely summer departure of ex-England winger Joe Cole, who is reportedly linked with a move to Tampa Bay Rowdies.
Gadzhev's deal includes a one-year extension option in the club's favour.
Sky Blues manager Tony Mowbray said: "Vladimir joined on a two-week trial and we've been really impressed with what we've seen from him.
"It's obvious to me that he has a lot of technical quality with the ball. Looking over his career, he has vast experience in the Greek and Bulgarian top flight and he's an experienced international so he has plenty of pedigree which is a valuable asset to any club.
"Whilst he's available for the rest of this season, it's important that we make sure Vladimir settles in as we continue to build a squad for the future."
Coventry currently lie eighth in League One, two points from the play-offs, having won just twice in 12 games going into the Good Friday night trip to Peterborough.
Gadzhev began his professional career with Greek side Panathinaikos, which included loans to Levadiakos and OFI Crete, before moving back to his native Bulgaria with Levski Sofia in 2008.
Having initially moved on loan to Sofia, he made the deal more permanent in 2009, since when he has scored 25 times in 186 games, which included both the Champions League and the Europa League.
He won the first of his 25 Bulgarian caps in 2010, scoring his only goal for his country in a 2-1 win against Belarus.

Teimana Harrison had shunted over from close in to give Saints the lead, but three Finn Russell penalties put Glasgow 9-7 up soon after the break.
Christian Day's try restored Saints' lead but two more penalties saw Glasgow open a three-point advantage at 15-12.
But Glasgow were reduced to 14 men and punished by Mallinder's late score.
With Racing 92's 64-14 win over Scarlets earlier in the day securing the French side top spot in Pool Three, only Northampton can now gather enough points to qualify as one of the three best runners-up and progress to the last eight.
Currently on 14 points in standings, Saints are likely to need 18 points at least to qualify and will be targeting a bonus point as well as victory when they travel to Scarlets next weekend.
Glasgow might well have been in the running for the last eight had replacement lock Tim Swinson not thrown a punch late on to earn a yellow card.
Down to 14 men, their previously comfortable defence began to creak and Stephen Myler's high crossfield kick was knocked down into 19-year-old Mallinder's hands by George North to ensure the Warriors will fall short of the knock-out stages.
Northampton made heavy weather of their win and will need to show more cohesion in attack and aggression in defence if they are to be involved with the latter stages of the tournament.
While JJ Hanrahan was inconsistent at fly-half, replacement Stephen Myler provided a composed platform for his side's late push for a winning try.
Mallinder's performance on his European debut - as a replacement for injured wing Tom Collins - was another highlight as he attacked with energy and pace.
Northampton: Foden, Collins, G. Pisi, Burrell, North, Hanrahan, L. Dickson, A. Waller, Hartley, Hill, Lawes, C. Day, Gibson, Wood, Harrison.
Replacements: Mallinder for Collins (25), Myler for Hanrahan (53), Kessell for L. Dickson (74), E. Waller for A. Waller (63), Haywood for Hartley (56), Denman for Hill (72), Fisher for Harrison (56).

The company says it will take at least 40 days to destroy all the noodles.
India's food safety regulator says tests have found Maggi "unsafe and hazardous" and has accused Nestle of failing to comply with food safety laws.
Nestle has 80% of India's instant noodles market.
Nestle India has begun a massive logistical operation to source and destroy over 27 tonnes of Maggi across the country. Nestle India has said that this is one of the largest ever recalls not only of its own history, but the entire food industry.
27,420
tonnes
400m
packets
Taking 40 days
Requiring 2,500 trucks
Further complicating matters is the fact that Nestle is not in possession of all the noodles earmarked to be destroyed.
The company says that 17,020 tonnes of Maggi are currently with distributors, retail outlets and consumers. They have begun buying back noodles by the carton in order to destroy them.
Once the Maggi is all collected, it will take thousands of truck trips to bring them to five facilities where they will be mixed with fuel and subjected to high temperature thermal destruction in cement kilns.
Nestle says that the current capacity is 700 tonnes a day across five facilities, meaning that it will take at least 40 days to destroy the whole stock.
Earlier this month, Nestle began withdrawing the Maggi brand from stores, after regulators said they found higher-than-allowed levels of lead in some packets.
Nestle's global chief executive Paul Bulcke has asked to see the results of the laboratory tests and promised to return Maggi to store shelves soon.
Several states have also been testing the noodles for the chemical monosodium glutamate, widely known as MSG.
On 12 June, the Bombay High Court denied Nestle's request for a stay of the nationwide ban on Maggi.
On Friday the court ruled that as the noodles are being withdrawn anyway "the question of granting stay... at this stage does not arise".
However judges ordered the food authorities to file their responses to Nestle's petition that the ban be completely revoked in time for a further court hearing on 30 June.
Nestle has argued that the tests that found lead are flawed and inaccurate. It says it has carried out its own tests on over 1,000 batches of Maggi noodles, plus commissioned tests at external labs on a further 600 batches.
"All results indicate that Maggi noodles are safe and well within the regulatory limits established in India," the company said.
The instant noodles arrived in India in 1983 and can be found in corner shops across the country.
Michael McGibbon, 33, was shot in an alleyway at Butler Place and died from his injuries in hospital on 16 April 2016.
The PSNI said the "brutal and callous attack" bore the "hallmarks of a paramilitary murder".
It said they wanted help tracing two men who called to Mr McGibbon's home the night before the attack.
"These men asked Mr McGibbon to step out the house. When he refused, they stated that they would be back," said Det Ch Insp Alan Dickson.
One of the men is described as being in his early 20s and slim while the other is described as being in his late teens.
"I am asking these men, or anyone who knows their identity, to get in touch with police," he said.
"If there is an innocent explanation for your presence at the house on that night allow us to eliminate you from this enquiry.
"I am also aware that other people in the area may also have been visited in a similar manner in the days surrounding Michael's murder, and I am asking for these people to make contact with police."
Det Ch Insp Dickson said Mr McGibbon was shot a number of times in the leg "in a densely populated residential area" and that his wife "desperately tried to save him by administering first aid".
"Easter is traditionally a time for families to spend time together and I would urge everyone to spare a thought for Michael's family who have been deprived of a cherished husband and father.
"One year on, and the McGibbons are still coming to terms with their grief, pain and loss. They deserve to see his killers brought to justice and pay for their ruthless actions."
He added that Mr McGibbon was a "man with no criminal record, no apparent criminal connections or associations".
"Those who carried it out have no legitimacy in this community and today I would like to mark the first anniversary of Michael's killing by appealing to local people to help us find them," he added.
It comes after one group, Wildcat Haven, revealed gamekeepers were to be allowed to shoot feral cats trapped as part of a conservation project.
That has led to counter claims from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.
It alleged Wildcat Haven was using "underhand and distorting ploys to further its own agenda."
Dr Paul O' Donoghue, Wildcat Haven's chief scientific advisor, has published an application for a trapping licence submitted by the RZSS to SNH.
The document was released under Freedom of Information legislation.
It states: "Any individuals which are obviously feral domestic cats will be dispatched according to standard predator control practices, by the land manager, with appropriate firearm in one shot with minimal time to death."
Dr O' Donoghue said he was "deeply saddened" by the discovery.
He added: "SNH has chosen to allow the RZSS to trap feral cats, only to shoot them in the face with a shotgun.
"It is barbaric and entirely unnecessary.
"This process also carries an inevitable risk to wildcats being shot through misidentification in the trap, and an equally unacceptable risk that someone's pet could be killed in this way."
Wildcat Haven argues feral cats should be neutered, rather than shot, and is now calling for a moratorium on the plans.
But the RZSS has accused Wildcat Haven of deliberately hampering collective efforts to save the Scottish wildcat.
Prof Christ West, the organisation's chief executive officer, said: "Feral cats have been legally controlled across the UK for many decades by landowners and gamekeepers, including via shooting.
"RZSS is instead encouraging land managers to cage trap feral cats instead of night shooting or snaring, which present a much greater risk to wildcats.
"It would be irresponsible for us not to develop best practice guidelines using advice from veterinary professionals...to help prevent any unnecessary animal suffering."
He added: "Any feral cats trapped by or handed into RZSS that do not meet the criteria for wildcats, and which landowners refuse to take back, will be humanely euthanised by our veterinary team and not shot by a gamekeeper as Wildcat Haven's statement misleadingly claims."
Eileen Stuart, head of policy and advice at Scottish Natural Heritage, said: "Wildcat Haven's actions misrepresent the progress we have made in the conservation of the Scottish wildcat.
"To be able to work with them, we need them to produce evidence and information relating to their activities.
"Our national project is supported by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, contrary to Wildcat Haven's claims.
"There are no credible alternatives offered by Wildcat Haven."
The official Scottish Wildcat Action project is supported by Scottish Natural Heritage, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh University's Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, the Cairngorms National Park Authority, the National Trust for Scotland, Forestry Commission Scotland, the Scottish Gamekeepers' Association, and the Scottish Wildlife Trust.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was created in 1927, a year before Mickey Mouse was born, and the rabbit starred in 26 cartoons in the 1920s and 30s.
Archivists have used dozens of drawings from Disney's personal sketchbook to create a new Oswald cartoon.
Harem Scarem was unveiled at Disney's D23 fan event and can be seen
online
.
Walt Disney and long-time collaborator Ub Iwerks created the rabbit while working at Universal before he set up his own empire.
Oswald's oversized ears, big eyes and shorts bear a striking similarity to Disney's next creation, Mickey Mouse, who was inspired by a mouse who would visit his drawing board.
However, Disney had to relinquish control of the character when he left Universal, aged 27.
In 2006, Disney chief executive Bob Iger and NBC Universal struck a deal to see ownership of Oswald return to the company. He has already featured in video game Epic Mickey, and is thought to have a starring role in the game's forthcoming sequel.
"Walt would be so excited about having Oswald back," Disney archives director Becky Cline told Yahoo News. "And for a Disney fan, to get the character back in the fold, is really exciting. To see something they've never seen before."
The new 90-second animation does not alter the original sketches, but sees them placed in order to create a basic animating effect.
Disney has just announced plans to update the tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for a new TV animation.
Aimed at young children, The 7D will premiere on Disney Junior in 2014 after a successful pilot.
The reinterpretation sets the classic tale in a world known as Jollywood, where the dwarves help Queen Delightful keep the kingdom in order and battle villains called Grim and Hildy Groom.
Skygazers should be able to spot it from 7.08am (British Summer Time) when the moon is on the exact opposite side of the Earth as the sun.
But will the moon actually be pink?
Newsround has everything you need to know.
In many cultures, including Native American tribes, people named the full moons throughout the year as a way to keep track of time.
So although April's full moon is known as the Pink Moon, don't expect it to look particularly pink!
It's named after pink flowers called wild ground phlox, which bloom in early spring and appear throughout the United States and Canada.
It is also called the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and the Fish Moon in other parts of the world.
April's full moon marks important festivals and holidays for people around the world too.
The date of Easter is the first Sunday following the full moon, which itself follows the spring equinox. This year Easter falls on 16 April, a week after the Pink Moon.
Hindus celebrate the birth of Hanuman in India in a festival called Hanuman Jayanti.
The April full moon will also mark the beginning of Jewish Passover.

India has a rich and long history of these shows - the first one was held in 1896 and flourished under the patronage of the British colonial elite. Today, these are organised by the Kennel Club of India.
The average person may consider a dog show to be a glorified beauty pageant for dogs, but these canine owners and breeders take these competitions very seriously.
There is usually no prize money to be had but breeding a pedigreed dog can lead to big financial returns and many people aspire to be at the top of the dog show world in India.
The breeders spend great sums on importing pedigreed dogs, hiring professional handlers from abroad and flying these dogs to various shows across India.
Delhi-based photographer Karan Vaid, whose parents are dog show judges, has been travelling around India for the past three years, covering these events. Here are some photographs from his album.
Free events are being held in leisure centres, parks and beaches across the country from 27-29 August.
GB Beach volleyballer Jake Sheaf said: "The Go Spike Big Weekend is a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages and levels to get involved in this exhilarating sport!
"Take your friends, family or just yourself to one of the events and I guarantee you'll have a great time."
The sessions are open, flexible and friendly, providing an opportunity for people of different ages, gender and sporting ability to participate in beach volleyball.
The first Go Spike Big Weekend took place back in May and Belper Hammers Volleyball Club was one of the groups that ran a 'come-and-try session' with over 20 people attending.
Will Hughes, club secretary, player and coach said: "The Go Spike Big Weekend events have become a staple part of the Belper Hammers Volleyball Club calendar.
"We were able to showcase volleyball and give some people in our community the opportunity to engage with a sport that they would never imagine they would be able to play."
Rachel Laybourne, who competed for Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics said: "I know I am a little biased, but I find volleyball incredibly fun and exciting for loads of different reasons.
"To start with it is a fantastic team sport that the whole family can play regardless of age or ability.
"It is also incredibly versatile so you can pop up and play in the local park, on the beach or in a community hall, where you can find some space.
"The other great fact is that is a fun way to get fit and burn calories, without purposely trying you get a great full body workout.
"So if you want to have a great time with your friends or family give volleyball a go over the Bank Holiday weekend at your nearest Go Spike Big Weekend Event!"
A number of locations will also be hosting sitting volleyball, an inclusive version of the sport open to able bodied and disabled players.
Martine Wright was part of the 2012 London Paralympics sitting volleyball team after losing both legs in the 7/7 bombings and later received the BBC Helen Rollason award in 2012.
"Sitting Volleyball is a great activity for people of all ages and abilities, it's social, fun and a good workout," says Martine.
"Sitting Volleyball is a great sport - we'd love to see you play soon."

It followed a decision by opponents to drop a legal appeal after the High Court ruled the acquisition could go ahead.
Those trying to halt the takeover said they feared job losses and bill rises.
But Severn Trent Water said it was committed to keeping "bills low".
Announcing the deal was complete, the water company said Dee Valley's 230,000 customers across the Wrexham and Chester areas could expect to see "new customer service initiatives, low bills and investment".
"This is all about working together for the benefit of Dee Valley's customers," said Severn Trent chief executive Liv Garfield.
"I'd also like to stress to our new customers that we're absolutely committed to keeping bills low.
"And, on behalf of everyone at Severn Trent, I'd just like to say that we're really looking forward to building the business together and working with colleagues and customers on that journey."

Speaking on a visit to Turkey, he said Russia would instead look at creating a gas hub on the Turkish-Greek border.
Mr Putin blamed European opposition to the South Stream plan, which was funded by Russia's state gas giant Gazprom.
The pipeline was to have run under the Black Sea to southern and central Europe, providing another transit route for Gazprom.
But the EU has been worried about the gas producer also owning a pipe network.
Construction work on the 930km (580-mile) South Stream project began in Bulgaria in October 2013 but was suspended in June after the European Commission said it may be breaking EU competition rules.
Russian officials accused the commission of blocking the work for purely political purposes.
"Taking account of the fact that until now we have not received permission from Bulgaria, we believe that in the current conditions Russia cannot continue with the realisation of this project," said Mr Putin, speaking alongside Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.
"If Europe does not want to carry out (South Stream), then it will not be carried out, We are now going to focus our energy resources in other directions."
Mr Putin said Russia could build a gas hub on the Turkish-Greek border to supply Europe with gas to compensate for the loss of South Stream.
The head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, later confirmed that the pipeline was finished.
"The project is closed," he told reporters.
Relations between Russia and the EU have been badly hit by the crisis in Ukraine.
The EU and the US have imposed sanctions on a number of Russian individuals and companies following Russia's intervention in Ukraine, but Gazprom has not been targeted.
Gazprom supplies 30% of Europe's gas - some 15% of it via Ukraine.
Bulgaria, an EU state, has said it feels it is being targeted by Brussels as a means of retaliating against Russia over the situation in Ukraine.
Russia and Turkey are major trading partners. Russia provides the bulk of Turkey's gas requirements and is set to build Turkey's first nuclear power plant. | Russian President Vladimir Putin says the proposed South Stream gas pipeline will not go ahead. | 30,283,571 | 447 | 18 | false |
Kyle Byfield, 23, was found injured at a property in Jubilee Court, Banbury, on Thursday and taken to Horton General Hospital but later died.

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed they have received offers for Muller, 25, who was reported to be a target for Manchester United.
He added: "There are some players who don't have any price tag. We would be out of our minds to sell Muller."
Vidal, 28, has agreed terms with Bayern and will have a medical this weekend.
The German champions will pay a reported £26m for the player, who is on holiday after helping Chile win the Copa America last month.
Bayern have already signed midfielder Douglas Costa from Shakhtar Donetsk, Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich and former Stuttgart midfielder Joshua Kimmich this summer.
Long-serving midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has been their highest-profile departure - the 30-year-old having joined Manchester United.
Rummenigge, speaking on Bayern's pre-season tour of China, also said no talks are planned to discuss a contract extension for coach Pep Guardiola.
The former Barcelona boss, who has been linked with a future move to Manchester City, reaches the end of his deal next summer.
Rummenigge said: "I can't currently think of any reason why Pep would leave us. Maybe we'll just meet for an espresso and clear everything.
"But if Pep doesn't want to stay, our world would not fall apart."
Guardiola, 44, has led Bayern to the domestic title in his first two years in Germany but not beyond the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Since 2005, he has worked from home on Wednesday mornings and then taken the rest of the day off.
Simmons and Simmons offers flexible working to all staff and makes this clear in recruitment ads.
It is a stance employers' organisation the CBI wants other firms to emulate, arguing it will improve diversity.
In a report aimed at encouraging employers to hire a broader range of people from varied social backgrounds, age groups, races and gender the CBI suggests advertising flexible working at the outset.
Just one in ten job adverts mention flexible working, despite more than half of employers offering it, meaning they miss out on a wider pool of applicants, according to the report.
The CBI also suggests that firms remove candidates' names from job applications in a bid to reduce "unconscious bias" in hiring decisions.
The organisation argues that firms with a broader pool of staff will perform better.
CBI president Paul Drechsler says: "Inclusive workplaces give firms the chance to get ahead of their competitors by making better decisions, through diverse teams which draw on a wider range of ideas and experiences."
Since 2014, Simmons & Simmons has allowed almost all its staff to work remotely one day a week of their choice without having to request permission from their boss.
It says the move was aimed at making "flexible working a right rather than an exception" and has seen a "significant increase" in the number of people who have taken up flexible working.
Mr Taylor says in 2005 when he asked to work flexibly it was "quite unusual", but said he was granted permission in just three weeks. Being at home one day a week has enabled him to spend more time with his three children now aged 14, 12 and 9.
"At the time [when I asked] I was a relatively new partner and also a relatively new dad and had two young children and was worried i was not seeing a huge amount of them during the week."
Now the children are older, he says he can pick them up from school as well as drop them off at activities. "I haven't done anything particularly dramatic with the time, but it's nice to be there day-to-day and talk about what's going on at school."
The change has also enabled Mr Taylor's partner to work later on a Wednesday, helping her progress at work, as well as make him feel loyal to the firm.
It is these sorts of factors that the CBI wants companies to be aware of. Mr Drechsler argues that flexible working should no longer be seen as "a bonus for staff", but instead as something that also has clear benefits for employers.
Other recommendations in the report include:
The report said data from earlier this month showing the UK's productivity still lags well behind other major economies meant employing a broader range of people was now more crucial than ever, and would help create more engaged employees.
"The economic and social challenges that the UK faces have been thrown into sharp relief by Brexit, in particular around issues like productivity, inclusion and opportunity," Mr Drechsler says.
"As businesses, it is up to us to seize the opportunities that exist to make some positive changes, becoming firms that will be competitive into the middle of the 21st century. If we get it right, business growth and greater opportunity will go hand in hand."
The MacArthur Foundation has donated more than $173m (£111m) to Russian civil society projects since 1992.
But Russian MPs have called for it to be deemed "undesirable" and banned under a new law on national security.
The fund says the Russian government clearly regards it as "unwelcome".
Although it regrets its decision to leave, the organisation says it is also concerned about the potential risk to local staff and anyone who receives its funding.
The MacArthur Foundation now features on a "stop list" of 12 organisations drawn-up by Russian politicians who accuse the groups of working to destabilise Russia and topple President Vladimir Putin.
Russia's leader has previously warned that foreign non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are a tool of hostile Western governments.
Russia's concerns grew last year. It believes foreign-backed NGOs helped stoke the mass protests in Ukraine that led to the ousting of pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych.
The MacArthur Foundation has stressed that its activities have been aimed only at benefitting Russian citizens and society.
"The closure is a loss for all civil society," Russian human rights activist Natalya Taubina told the BBC.
Her own NGO, Public Verdict, used MacArthur grants for work with victims of abuse by Russian security forces. But the US foundation has also funded many projects in science and culture.
"This will be a blow not only to Russian NGOs, but to education," Ms Taubina adds.
Foreign-backed NGOs that conduct any kind of political activity in Russia are already forced to register as foreign agents.
This week the justice ministry issued an official warning to 12 of them for failing to make that "subversive" status clear when distributing material.
The list includes such long-established human-rights bodies as Memorial and the Sakharov Centre.

"My contribution to public life is now at an end," Mr Prentice said as he conceded defeat, blaming the collapse in oil prices and the subsequent financial problems.
Alberta witnessed a political earthquake last night.
The major oil producing province in Canada, it has been the country's major economic engine for several years.
However, the precipitous drop in the price of oil created a $7bn hole in the province's finances.
Prentice decided to base his campaign on a budget that increased taxes/fees (except for corporations), slightly cut government spending and ran a $5bn deficit.
However, this budget angered many Albertans and they responded by electing Notley who campaigned on a very different vision.
Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley called the surprising win "a fresh start for our great province".
The result could be seen as a warning to Mr Harper, a Conservative, with a general election looming in October.
"I look forward to working with future Premier Notley on issues of importance for Albertans and all Canadians, including creating jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity across the province and country," Mr Harper said in a statement on Wednesday.
The NDP, which has never held more than 16 seats in the 87-seat legislature, looks set to win about 55 seats.
The PCs got around 11, behind the newer and even more conservative Wildrose Party.
Wildrose leader Brian Jean said his party would serve as the opposition and would keep NDP "on its toes".
The Conservative-led county council plans to change the station name from Northampton to Northampton Castle.
Labour opposition councillors said Network Rail informed them it would cost £200,000 for new signs and maps.
A council spokesman said they were still discussing the cost with Network Rail but intended to make the changes.
The new name for the station, which is currently undergoing a £20m refurbishment scheme to double its size, would reflect the fact it is built on the site of the town's former castle, council leader Jim Harker said.
"It is apparent... that the people of Northampton know their station as Northampton Castle and I am pleased that the council is able to arrange for this important piece of our heritage to be recognised," he said.
John McGhee, leader of the council's Labour group, said: "It's shocking that Northamptonshire Tories want to squander taxpayers' money on a railway station name change.
"Quite clearly we want to celebrate our county's heritage and the significance of Northampton Castle, but there are far more cost-effective ways of doing this."
In a statement, Network Rail said: "Changes [to names] can include updating announcements at stations and on trains, creating new signage for the station and route, plus redesigning and producing new travel maps.
"Some of these costs would be borne by Network Rail as the owner and operator of the railway infrastructure and some by London Midland, which manages Northampton station... however, funding is needed via third parties for ideas of this nature to progress."

Gemili, fourth at the Rio Olympics in 2016, was a distant sixth as Mitchell-Blake's time of 20.18 seconds broke the British championship record.
Danny Talbot finished second in 20.20 and also guaranteed his selection.
Shannon Hylton held off both Bianca Williams and Desiree Henry to win the women's 200m race in 22.94secs.
A top-two finish in the weekend's trials guarantees a place at the World Championships beginning on 4 August, provided athletes have achieved the qualifying standard.
It was the first time that 23-year-old Mitchell-Blake - born in London, raised in Jamaica and based in the USA - had raced in the UK since he was 13.
Wearing a Louisiana State University vest, he proved that his formidable early-season form could survive the trip back to Britain as he powered away off the bend and held on for victory to break John Regis' 30-year-old record.
Third-placed Leon Reid also ran the qualifying time but Zharnel Hughes, who could only manage fourth on Sunday, is now likely to be Gemili's main competition for a place on the British team at the Worlds.
Gemili appeared to be holding his thigh after the race but refused to blame the strain for his below-average performance.
"That's nowhere near my standard - I didn't come in and execute a good race at all," he said.
"I'm not fit and where I need to be at the moment but I had to race here and I gave it my best shot.
"I have to put forward my case based on my history but at the moment I've got a lot of work to do. "
It was an afternoon of upsets in Birmingham as 20-year-old Hylton stormed to a comfortable victory in the women's 200m.
The Kent athlete, whose twin sister Cheriece is also a British sprinter, saw off the challenge of more experienced athletes in Williams and pre-race favourite Henry to equal her lifetime best.
Williams edged out Henry, who won an Olympic bronze medal in the 4x100m relay in 2016, to take the second guaranteed spot on the British team.
"I had so many emotions when I crossed the line," Hylton told BBC Sport. "It was such hard work this year, but I can't believe I'm going to London now."
British record holder Dina Asher-Smith looks likely to be handed the discretionary third 200m slot in place of Henry despite disappointing in Saturday's 100m as she continues her comeback from a serious foot injury.
Henry's best chance of an individual place in London could now be as the third entrant in the 100m.
Elsewhere, Rio Olympic finalist Jazmin Sawyers endured a miserable afternoon in the long jump as she fouled out with three successive no-jumps.
Lorraine Ugen took the title with a jump of 6.59m before later withdrawing from the event, with rival Shara Proctor missing the trials following a minor car accident on Saturday.
In the women's 1500m, contested in the absence of Scotland's Laura Muir who has already qualified via her Diamond League series victory in 2016, Laura Weightman took the title in four minutes 6.50 seconds.
And the talented Jessica Judd, who missed out on selection for both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics, secured her place on the British team with a second-placed finish.
"It's been so hard but everyone has been so supportive," Judd, 22, told BBC Sport.
"When I missed out on London 2012 my Dad said 'our aim is to get to the World Championships' but I just never thought we would do it.
"Thanks to everyone who made sure I didn't give up, it's for all of them."
Mo Farah - who will seek to defend his 5,000m and 10,000m titles in London - and long jumper Greg Rutherford will be part of the British team courtesy of their status as world champions.
Farah will be joined by Andrew Butchart in the 5,000m after the Scot secured a win in Birmingham on Saturday, where 20-year-old Morgan Lake produced a lifetime best mark of 1.96m in the high jump to qualify.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson has already reached the qualifying mark in the heptathlon, and Ashley Bryant has done so in the decathlon.
Steeplechaser Rob Mullett won his third British title ahead of Zak Seddon on Saturday as both men made the team.
European indoor champion Andrew Pozzi - who was exempted from the trials - was instead competing in the 110m hurdles at the Diamond League meeting in Paris on Saturday night and set a new personal best of 13.14 seconds to take second place.
Mr Altalawy, 24, described life in parts of Homs under government siege for over a year-and-a-half.
He said those under siege had had to rely on supplies of food, medicines and fuel left over from the time the siege was imposed - and they had now run out.
"If we don't die from bombardment or snipers, we die of hunger or the cold," he told the BBC via Skype from Homs.
Mr Altalawy said those under siege were desperate for peace talks in Geneva to result in safe routes out - but said that if the regime really wanted to help them, it would have done so already.
There are 13 districts, including the ancient Old City, which are "totally under siege", he said.
"There are families, women, elderly, injured people, and a lot of the elderly are in need of medicines because they have chronic illnesses.
"There has been no help arriving to us, all we see is daily clashes. The rebel fighters who are in the besieged areas are doing all they can to stop the regime forces from entering."
"We are now eating anything that comes out of the ground, plants, even grass. We pick it, then cook it with some water using wood because we have no gas...
"These shrubs and grass that we're eating causes illnesses, such as indigestion and fever. A few days ago an elderly man died within six hours from eating the grass and shrubs."
The unrelenting bombardment to which the besieged are subjected is also a cause of great suffering, with the regime forces "directly targeting civilian populated areas", Mr Altalawy told the BBC.
"Many have died because we don't have the equipment or medicines to save their lives. What little medicine we have has expired, but we have to use it.
"The medical situation is no better than the humanitarian situation. When a person is injured, all we can do is pray to God to alleviate his pain because we can't treat him or even give him food," Mr Altalawy said.
As well as those under siege, 700,000 people had been displaced by the siege, the journalist said - many living in public buildings and tents outside the area under siege, waiting for the right conditions to return to their homes.
Mr Altalawy said the people were desperate for a good outcome from talks under way in Geneva, but had little hope they would get it.
He said the government was simply engaging in "political manoeuvres", and if they had wanted to establish safe routes out for civilians or allow food in, they would have done so already.
"We are on the edge of death, and there is no way to get the injured or sick out. And anyone who tries to escape the siege, we know that he will be killed for sure."
Unison, the Royal College of Midwives, GMB and Unite made the announcements in a coordinated response to the pay deal put forward by the government in March.
It is the first time in their history that midwives have been balloted.
Ministers have given NHS staff 1%, but it does not apply to those who get automatic progression-in-the-job rises.
These are designed to reward professional development and are given about half of staff and are worth 3% a year on average.
But the decision by ministers went against the recommendation of the independent pay review board, which had called for an across-the-board rise.
In Scotland, the recommendation was agreed to in full. Northern Ireland is yet to make a decision, while Wales is doing the same as England but has given extra money to the lowest paid.
Unison has about 300,000 health members, including nurses, therapists, porters, paramedics, medical secretaries, cooks, cleaners and healthcare assistants, while 26,000 midwives are being balloted.
Unite is balloting nearly 90,000 members, including those in Northern Ireland and Wales, while the GMB has about 30,000 NHS members, including ambulance staff.
If they vote yes to industrial action, it is likely to start in October.
Unison head of health Christina McAnea said: "Balloting for strike action is not an easy decision - especially in the NHS. But this government is showing complete contempt for NHS workers."
Cathy Warwick, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives, added: "Midwives are at the end of their tether."
The main nursing union, Royal College of Nursing, has decided not to ballot members over industrial action.
Instead, its general secretary, Peter Carter, has urged his members to campaign against the pay deal, including targeting MPs in marginal seats in the run-up to the election.
Dean Royles, of NHS Employers, said: "I completely understand the frustration and anger staff and trade unions feel.
"They are clearly annoyed at the government and I understand they will want to protest.
"But timing ballots and industrial action for the busy winter period is bound to impact on care. This is a critical time when a union campaign risks a prolonged period of real distress for patients this winter."
A Department of Health spokesman said: "We cannot afford a general pay rise on top of incremental pay increases without risking frontline jobs.
"We are disappointed that unions are balloting for industrial action. There is still time for the unions to put patients first and accept our offer to come back to the negotiating table."
Indonesia - Australia's biggest live cattle market - has told the market it would issue 50,000 import permits between July and September.
That compares with an expected 200,000 permits for that quarter and is well below the usual third quarter figure.
The Australian Livestock Exporters Council said the decision was both a surprise and a disappointment.
However, Council Chief Executive Officer Alison Penfold rejected local media suggestions it was linked to the uneasy relationship between the two countries.
"Absolutely not. I know there have been some suggestions in the media today and I am disappointed [some people] have decided to play politics," Ms Penfold told the BBC.
The import cut comes amid political tensions between the two countries over asylum seekers departing Indonesia by boat for Australia.
Also, earlier this year, Indonesia ignored pleas from the Australian government to grant clemency to two Australian convicted drug traffickers on death row.
In recent years, the live cattle industry has been rocked by a serious of scandals about poor treatment of the animals in some of the countries Australia exports to.
In 2011, Australia halted live cattle exports to Indonesia after shocking footage of cruelty at some Indonesian abattoirs was broadcast in Australia.
A spokesman for Australian Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce told local media the Australian Government respected Indonesia's right to make the decision but was "disappointed" by the cut.
However, the Opposition's Agriculture Spokesman Joel Fitzgibbon said the decision was a reflection of the tense relationship between the two countries.
"Of course the Abbott Government's relationship with Indonesia or the deterioration of it won't be helping at all," Mr Fitzgibbon told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Ms Penfold said over the past five years import permits for the third quarter had fluctuated between 62,000 and 184,000, averaging out at about 105,000 head of cattle.
"[This quarter] will present challenges for us but we have a constructive relationship with Indonesia and we want to support its food security needs," she said.
She said it was too early to say whether exporters would find other markets for their cattle.
She said she did not think any lobbing by the Australian government would change matters.
Of the Premier League's four contenders, only Manchester United failed to make it through, suffering a heartbreaking exit against Wolfsburg on Tuesday night.
So how did each and every group finish? Here's what you need to know ahead of Monday's last-16 draw at 11:00 GMT.
Qualified: Real Madrid, Paris St-Germain
Europa League: Shakhtar Donetsk
Eliminated: Malmo
This week's fixtures: Real Madrid, who had already qualified for the next round, ended the group in style by crushing Malmo 8-0 - Cristiano Ronaldo scoring four.
Paris St-Germain will join them, and they also finished on a winning note as Lucas Moura and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored in a 2-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Qualified: Wolfsburg, PSV Eindhoven
Europa League: Manchester United
Eliminated: CSKA Moscow
This week's fixtures: It was a disastrous evening for Manchester United, who took the lead against Wolfsburg before being pegged back and eventually beaten 3-2 by the Germans, who top the group.
United would have qualified if CSKA had beaten PSV Eindhoven - and the Russians took a late lead. But it didn't last long and the Dutch side go through as runners-up, while Louis van Gaal's side drop into the Europa League.
Qualified: Benfica, Atletico Madrid
Europa League: Galatasaray
Eliminated: Astana
This week's fixtures: This group was wrapped up before Tuesday evening and Atletico secured top spot with a 2-1 victory over Benfica.
Qualified: Manchester City, Juventus
Europa League: Sevilla
Eliminated: Borussia Monchengladbach
Manchester City were desperate to top the group because it means they are likely to get a more favourable draw in the next round as they will face one of the group runners-up.
And they did it! A 4-2 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach was enough after Juventus slipped up against Europa League-bound Sevilla.
Qualified: Barcelona, Roma
Europa League: Bayer Leverkusen
Eliminated: BATE Borisov
This week's fixtures: Barcelona breezed through the group without defeat, leaving Roma and Bayer Leverkusen to fight it out for the spoils of second place.
The Italians sealed qualification, despite conceding 16 goals in six games, with a 0-0 draw against BATE Borisov.
Qualified: Bayern Munich, Arsenal
Europa League: Olympiakos
Eliminated: Dinamo Zagreb
This week's fixtures: Arsenal made hard work of qualification - losing their first two games, against Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos - but came good when it mattered with an accomplished 3-0 away victory against the Greek side on the final match day.
Qualified: Chelsea, Dynamo Kiev
Europa League: Porto
Eliminated: Maccabi Tel Aviv
This week's fixtures: Despite finishing with 13 points, Chelsea took until the final group game to secure qualification. They did, however, top the group which means they are likely to get a more favourable draw in the next round.
Already qualified: Zenit St Petersburg, Gent
Europa League: Valencia
Eliminated: Lyon
This week's fixtures: All eyes were on Gary Neville, who took charge of Valencia with the La Liga side needing victory against Lyon in their final group game to stand any chance of pipping Gent to second place in the group.
As it was, Gent beat Zenit St Petersburg 2-1 meaning Valencia's defeat at home to Lyon mattered little.
Arsenal's possible last-16 opponents: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Wolfsburg or Zenit.
Chelsea's possible last-16 opponents: Paris St-Germain, PSV, Juventus, Roma, Benfica or Gent.
Manchester City's possible last-16 opponents: Paris St-Germain, PSV, Benfica, Roma, Dynamo Kiev, Gent.
The visitors went ahead when the Rams failed to deal with Marc Roberts' long throw and on-loan midfielder Matty James headed home.
The lead lasted only two minutes as Tom Ince fired into the net after Barnsley's defence failed to clear.
Ince then hit the post before David Nugent struck with the help of a deflection - his first goal for Derby.
The three points lifted Steve McClaren's Rams, who had lost three of the previous four games, above their opponents into 10th place in the Championship table - but 10 points adrift of Sheffield Wednesday in sixth.
It took the hosts half an hour to muster a shot on goal as Paul Heckingbottom's Tykes made a lively start with striker Adam Armstrong, in particular, threatening an early breakthrough.
The home team put their sluggish opening behind them as Johnny Russell and Julien de Sart tested goalkeeper Adam Davies, but they paid the price for poor marking when James nodded into the corner after the break. It was his first goal since scoring for parent club Leicester in a 2-2 draw with Watford more than three years ago.
Ince pounced for the equaliser as Barnsley's defence failed to deal with a ball into the box, but although Davies tipped over from Russell's curler, he could do nothing with Nugent's effort which wrongfooted him after hitting defender Angus MacDonald.
Derby boss Steve McClaren: "It's a big win for us and I have to say it was fantastic character from 1-0 down from a long throw and everyone could have gone down.
"It was important to react quickly which we did and then it was quite an open game, but we got the goal and then hung on at the end.
"It's one game at a time, I hate losing and I've been angry in the last couple of weeks. It's not a pleasant taste and we talked about finding a way to win today.
"Two defeats put us back in terms of confidence and we're now just trying to build confidence."
Barnsley head coach Paul Heckingbottom: "The players are an honest bunch and they are disappointed with the two goals we have conceded.
"I'm disappointed with a few performances in that we weren't positive enough and didn't have a big enough effect on the game to make us win it.
"If you think you are conceding sloppy goals and some of your players aren't at their best, the fact we've lost 2-1 and could have got something out of the game shows how far we've come.
"I'm generally not bad at getting the result in perspective, good or bad, but I feel a bit thrown today from the feedback I'm getting from other people and how I feel about the game."

Roared on by a vocal pocket of supporters on court 17, Willis saw off Lithuania's Berankis 6-3 6-3 6-4.
Willis, who came through six rounds of qualifying to earn his debut at the All England Club, will next face seven-time champion Roger Federer in round two.
The 25-year-old from Slough guarantees himself £50,000 in prize money.
"It's gotten a little bit out of hand," he said afterwards. "I'm enjoying it. Yeah, keep it rolling."

On an opening day when most of his compatriots struggled, it was the unlikely figure of Willis who got the first British win on the board.
Willis had won just £220 in prize money in 2016 before Wimbledon, and was set to give up playing professionally to coach in the USA earlier this year before his girlfriend persuaded him otherwise.
"I've been coaching at the Warwick Boat Club," he explained. "I had options in Philadelphia. Nothing was dead set. But I met the girl, she told me not to, so I didn't. I do what I'm told."
To come through three rounds of pre-qualifying and three rounds of qualifying was remarkable in itself, but events on court 17 were simply extraordinary.
Willis saved 19 of 20 break points and broke the Berankis serve five times, leaving the 26-year-old Lithuanian looking understandably forlorn by the closing stages.
The Briton was smiling broadly from the moment he walked on to court, punching his fist and nodding along with the singing from his supporters before a ball had been struck, and he carried that attitude into the match.
A delicate lob set up an immediate break point and Berankis duly double-faulted to hand the Briton an early advantage that would give him the set.
Willis kept Berankis guessing with clever use of slice, some fine passing shots and nerveless serving under pressure, and the shock was very much on when he broke to love for a 3-1 lead in the second set.
A bemused Berankis finally converted his 12th break point in the following game but Willis responded by breaking to love on his way to clinching a two-set lead.
When the Briton made a spectacular lunging backhand volley to save break point early in the third set, Berankis looked like a man who knew it was not to be his day.
The decisive moment came in game five when Willis thumped a forehand winner down the line to break serve for the fifth time, and he then came back from 0-40 down in game eight to make it 5-3.
With a little under two hours played Willis got the chance to serve for the win, and two magical passes propelled him to match point, which he converted with a big serve and a huge roar.
Asked about the prospect of playing Federer on Wednesday, Willis said: "Obviously it's an amazing dream come true. I get to play on a stadium court. This is what I dreamed of when I was younger.
"I'm going to go out there and try to win the tennis match. I probably won't. I might not. But I'm going to give everything, as I have the last seven matches."

Brent crude sank to $36.05 a barrel - its weakest since July 2004 - before recovering slightly to $36.56.
A global oversupply has dramatically driven down the price of oil, with suppliers failing to reach agreements to address the glut.
Just 18 months ago, in June 2014, the price of oil was traded at $115 per barrel.
The price of US crude was also down on Monday, dropping 40 cents to $34.17 a barrel - the lowest since 2009.
Analysts and oil bosses have said there is little sign that the downward trend will change, with more US and Russian oil reaching the markets.
Iranian oil supply will also resume in 2016, following the lifting of sanctions.
In November, the 12 members of Opec maintained production at 30 million barrels per day, as first agreed in December 2011.
Many consumers have enjoyed the falling price of fuel in the form of lower petrol prices; several UK supermarkets have begun selling petrol at below £1 per litre - which they last did in 2009.
However, oil firms have had profit margins squeezed, forcing them to cut spending in investment and exploration.
Governments of some oil producing countries have also been forced to cut spending as revenue from oil plunges.
The falling price has also led to questions about the merger of energy giants Royal Dutch Shell and BG Group. Earlier this month, David Cumming, head of equities at Standard Life Investments, told the BBC that the deal no longer "makes financial sense" with the oil price at current levels.
Security correspondent Frank Gardner says he was still waiting for help to disembark his flight at London Gatwick when the plane was about to be cleaned.
Mr Gardner, who uses a wheelchair, said the incident was "a generic problem" at UK airports, not an exception.
Easyjet has apologised and said it had raised the issue with the firm which provides special assistance at Gatwick.
Mr Gardner, who was returning from the French Alps on Sunday night, said he was left waiting for assistance for 20-30 minutes after landing at Gatwick.
He was still on the aircraft long after the other passengers had left.
Mr Gardner tweeted while he waited for assistance, saying he has since been contacted by disabled passengers who have shared his experience.
Mr Gardner has used a wheelchair since being shot six times by militants while reporting in Saudi Arabia, in 2004.
He said disabled people travelling on planes were frequently left waiting for assistance when flights landed at gates without a passenger boarding bridge, or air bridge.
He said he had been told airlines often choose not to land at boarding gates with the retractable walkways to save money.
Instead, passengers are given assistance by a portable platform, called an ambulift, which at Gatwick is provided by outsourcing group OCS.
"None of this is the exception, which is why I am raising it. This is what happens frequently when there is no air bridge," Mr Gardner said.
He said he last filed a complaint about the issue in 2009, after which he received a letter of apology, but the problem was now "tedious" and was not confined just to Easyjet or Gatwick.
He added: "I am pretty cynical about this because I have been travelling with a wheelchair for 12 years and I've not seen any improvement.
"Nothing will change unless there is perpetual bad publicity, or there are financial penalties."
A spokeswoman for Easyjet told the Guardian the firm was "sorry that Mr Gardner was delayed disembarking upon arrival at London Gatwick last night.
"We have taken this up with OCS who are the special assistance provider to all airlines at London Gatwick airport and are in contact with Mr Gardner about his experience."
OCS told Mr Gardner it had conducted a survey of more than 500 disabled passengers, which recommended more collaboration between airlines, airports and service providers.
Following the publication of the report, Steven Wheeler, customer services director for OCS, said: "Airlines, airports, baggage handlers and PRM service providers such as OCS Group are all committed to excellent customer service but it is clear that we need to collaborate more effectively."
The BBC has contacted OCS for a direct response to Mr Gardner's complaint.
Fry will voice an aristocratic deer called Lord Stag in Driftwood Bay.
The show, which will air on Nick Jr in the UK in May, is about a young girl who creates an imaginary world from treasures she finds on the beach.
Horrocks will play Wee Rabbit while Mullan, best known for hard-hitting dramas, will be Salty Dog the sailor.
Broadcaster, actor and presenter Fry is known as the host of BBC panel show QI and as The Hobbit's Master of Laketown while Mullan's credits include starring in TV drama Top of the Lake and the film Tyrannosaur.
Mullan said: "I've never done any voice work on animation so I thought this was a nice chance to do something that my children can actually see me in for a change!"
Driftwood Bay is to be made by Sixteen South, a Belfast-based children's TV production company.
Horrocks was the star of stage play and film Little Voice and recently appeared alongside Mullan in the film Sunshine on Leith.
The voice cast also includes Father Ted star Ardal O'Hanlon, Tameka Empson, who plays Kim Fox in EastEnders and Annette Crosbie, known for roles in TV shows like One Foot in the Grave and The Six Wives of Henry VIII.
The Sons defender converted confidently after Gregor Buchanan was judged to have been shoved in the box at a corner kick.
Ryan Stevenson's free-kick from the edge of the box had earlier hit the crossbar for the hosts.
United struggled to turn possession into chances but came close when Jamie Robson's volley was saved.
Home goalkeeper Alan Martin was called upon again late on to deny Coll Donaldson a leveller in a match where the visitors often looked out of sorts.
It leaves Ray McKinnon's side without a win in the Championship after two games, although contrasting good form came in the League Cup against Partick Thistle.
The impressive and raucous orange and black flag display by United fans pre-match deserved more of a performance and initially it seemed it would come.
But early possession failed to penetrate as Scott Fraser and Blair Spittal missed opportunities.
Hibernian twice came to the foot of Dumbarton Rock last season as favourites yet left with nothing, and taking big scalps at home is becoming a habit for Stevie Aitken's Sons.
You could tell the hosts were gradually getting their teeth into the frustrated Tangerines and it really began to show after halftime.
Robert Thomson - a former United striker - hit a tame shot when clean through before Stevenson's rocket of a set-piece rattled the woodwork, but his corner soon led to the match-winner.
Amidst the jostling, referee Gavin Duncan spotted a more severe shove on Dumbarton defender Gregor Buchanan by Mark Durnan and Docherty's left foot thumped the penalty to Cammy Bell's right hand side.
It was Docherty's third penalty conversion in two games after netting a couple in the defeat to Dunfermline last weekend.
Simon Murray and Nick van der Velden were introduced to inject more into United's attack but once Dumbarton had their valuable lead they were not for giving it up.
Dumbarton manager Stevie Aitken: "We deserved that result. Without the ball today we were terrific in shutting them down.
"When we did get the ball we played well to make some good chances in the second half and on another day might have got another couple of goals.
"I'm just delighted we've got a win against a side who will be up there challenging at the end of season.
"It's just as well Mark Docherty's not on a goal bonus because he'd be bleeding the club dry."
Dundee United manager Ray McKinnon: "I'm very disappointed that we can play so well on Tuesday then not play to that standard today.
"Far too many players didn't realise how tough this is, so it's a learning curve and they have paid the penalty today in not taking anything from the game. It's a rude awakening.
"After half an hour we came down to their tempo and it suited Dumbarton.
"I'd need to see it back [the penalty award] but if that's what it is [a shove] then there's going to be penalties galore this season."

The driver used an offensive term for homosexuals while using his radio to talk to the bus firm's control centre.
He said he was unable to drive along one of the city's main streets because of the crowds at Saturday's event.
It was reported that when he was challenged, he stood by what he said by repeating the offensive comment.
In a statement, bus operator Translink apologised to its passengers and staff for the driver's "offensive language".
"We take incidents of this nature very seriously and we expect all our staff to deal with their passengers and colleagues in a friendly, helpful and professional manner at all times," Translink said.
"A full investigation has been carried out and appropriate action is being taken."
A whistleblower wrote to BBC Radio Ulster's The Stephen Nolan Show to highlight what had happened.
John O'Doherty from the Rainbow Project, a gay and lesbian support group, said the incident was an indication of the "everyday homophobia" that "still exists within our society" and which "in many ways is tolerated".
"It shouldn't be tolerated in the workplace especially in relation to public employers but the reality is in too many places and too many parts of our society it is still acceptable," Mr O'Doherty said.
He added that it was "hugely disappointing" that the comments had been made on the day of the Pride parade.
"It was such a positive day for our city.
"Tens of thousands of people came out on the street to celebrate an amazing community, an amazing culture and we've seen such positivity and such benefit to the people of this city as well, not least of all financially."
The ruling could allow him to travel abroad to seek medical treatment.
The charges relate to the former general's imposition of a 2007 state of emergency and the assassination of former PM Benazir Bhutto the same year.
Mr Musharraf, 70, denies all the charges and has called them politically motivated.
He was treated for chest pains in January and says his condition is now much worse. He was in hospital on Monday and Tuesday with spinal problems.
A spokeswoman promised Mr Musharraf would return to Paksitan if he were allowed to travel.

Will Pakistan let Musharraf off the hook?
Dismissing an appeal by government lawyers, the Supreme Court upheld a high court judgement removing the former military ruler from a list of people barred from leaving the country.
However, it said it was up to the federal government and the special court trying him to decide whether to pass "any appropriate legal order for regulating his custody or movement", Dawn newspaper reports.
Mr Musharraf seized power in a coup in 1999, when he was army chief. He remained president until 2008, when a democratically elected government came into power.
He left the country soon afterwards to live in self-imposed exile in Dubai and London.
However, he returned in 2013, hoping to lead his party into elections - but was disqualified from standing and found himself fighting an array of charges relating to his time in power.
He faces a murder claim for failing to prevent the assassination of Ms Bhutto. Other charges relate to events in the same year - the state of emergency, his suspension of judges during that period and the death of a cleric during a siege at the Red Mosque in Islamabad in 2007.
In January he was cleared over the 2006 killing of Baloch rebel leader Akbar Bugti, his first acquittal in the cases in which he is charged.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) vice-president John Coates has also branded Russia's anti-doping agency and athletics body as "rotten to the core".
Russia was suspended following accusations of state-sponsored doping.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) meets on Friday to discuss lifting the ban.
Russia was suspended from all track and field by the IAAF in November after an independent report from the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) depicted a culture of widespread state-sponsored cheating by Russia's athletes, with even the secret services involved.
The country's sports minister Vitaly Mutko has since apologised for cheating athletes not caught by Russia's anti-doping systems but stopped short of admitting the scandal had been state sponsored.
A task force has been studying the Russian reforms, but a fresh Wada report, issued on Wednesday, made more damaging claims.
It said that Russian athletes have continued to fail drug tests in large numbers and that doping control officers have been stopped from carrying out their work.
Mutko has written directly to IAAF president Lord Sebastian Coe, urging him to lift the ban on Russian athletes.
"Russia fully supports fighting doping," said Mutko. "However, we firmly believe that clean athletes should not be punished for the actions of others.
"Russia is doing everything possible to ensure our athletes are a part of clean and fair Olympic Games.
"In light of our efforts, I urge you to reconsider the ban on our athletes."
According to Mukto, Russia has been reforming its anti-doping program since it was banned in November 2015.
It says it has:
Mutko insists Russia "has done everything that IAAF" has asked it to do in order to be "reinstated to athletic competition" and has hinted his country could take legal action if its athletics federation is not reinstated.
Russia says it is being unfairly victimised, claiming other countries have fallen foul of the Wada code, such as Kenya and Ethiopia, but are free to compete.
The latest Wada report also detailed the lengths Russian athletes allegedly went to both to avoid tests and fool doping control officers, who were also allegedly being threatened by security services.
Wada highlighted the case of an athlete who, it says, used a container - "presumably containing clean urine" - that had been inserted inside her, which then leaked.
It is clear a number of key sporting officials have yet to be convinced by Russia's desire to reform, among them Coates.
He made his critical comments while attending a medal ceremony in Melbourne on Friday for Australian race walker Jared Tallent.
Tallent received the 50km walk gold medal from the 2012 Olympics a few months after drug cheat Russian Sergey Kirdyapkin was stripped of his title.
"Presenting an Olympic medal is always an honour, but more so on this occasion to be part of rectifying, in some way, the massive injustice perpetrated on Jared by a doping cheat and aided by a Russian Anti-Doping Agency and Russian Athletics Federation that were rotten to the core," said Coates.
"I expect that the IAAF will maintain the sanction against Russian athletics."
Canada's athletics federation has also backed a continuing ban of Russian track and field athletes.
"Athletics Canada feels strongly there is little evidence of a reversal in a systematic and deep rooted doping culture in Russian Athletics," said chief executive Rob Guy. "Therefore, there is no justification to grant re-inclusion."
If the ban remains in place, the IOC could still decide to allow Russian athletes to compete at the Rio Olympics, which begin on 5 August.
IOC officials gather in Lausanne on Tuesday to discuss the matter, with some concerned that a suspension will punish innocent athletes.
Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva has already written an open letter to the IAAF making that very point.
"If some Russian athletes have failed doping tests, why must Russia's clean athletes face a ban?" she wrote.
"Why shouldn't we be able to compete in Rio against the clean athletes from other countries in Rio?"
British world marathon record holder Paula Radcliffe recognises that view but has urged the IAAF to take a tough stand.
"No-one wants to see even one innocent athlete suffer in this," she said.
"But such blatant disregard for the rules of our sport and the concept of fair play should receive a strong message that it will not be tolerated."
About 50 firefighters tackled the blaze on Bishop Street after they were alerted by a fire alarm around 01:30 BST on Thursday.
It is understood 100 gas canisters were inside the building at the time and exploded.
The cause of the fire is still unknown and an investigation is under way. No-one was injured.
The fire has been brought under control and roads have reopened.
The fire service said officers had stopped the blaze spreading to premises on either side of the building.
Group commander Mark Deeney said: "The building is destroyed.
"The fire is under control but we are keeping an eye out for hotspots. It's as good as out.
"We have been here for a long time because access to the building is restricted.
"All four storeys were involved in the fire and there is a risk that walls might collapse.
"It is dangerous for firefighters but we have assessed all risks."
Maria Brown, a member of staff at Poundstretcher for 16 years, said she was "completely shocked".
"I got a phone call from the manager this morning and I couldn't believe it," Ms Brown told BBC Radio Foyle.
"I went to the scene and there was smoke everywhere. It's so sad."
Michael McMenamin, who also worked at the store for almost five years, said he is worried about not having a job.
"It was such a shock to the system to see all the smoke," said Mr McMenamin.
"We are so lucky no one was injured.
"I am worried about my job now because I just moved out and I might have to move back to my mother's now.
"I loved my job. We were like a family there."
John Hamill, Poundstretcher store manager in Derry, said: "I was so concerned when I arrived and saw the smoke.
"There is structural and fire damage to the building.
"We have a 4,000 sq ft extension at the back of the building, That will need to be pulled to the ground.
"The company has invested a lot in the city over the past 25 years and we will look to restructure this store and rebuild the extension.
"There have been tears this morning but we will look at possibly relocating the business elsewhere."
But midfielder Ledson, 19, trusted recommendations from his Merseyside mates before agreeing a summer switch to the Kassam Stadium.
Some 28 appearances later for the Yellows, he has no regrets at taking their advice. Being named EFL Young Player of the Month for February comes just ahead of a Wembley final and a potential chance to represent England at the Under-20 World Cup.
"I'd heard a lot of good things about Oxford when I was on loan at Cambridge United last season," Ledson told BBC Sport.
"I'd seen how they'd gone up last year, they got to a Wembley final (in the EFL Trophy) and one of my good mates Jonjoe Kenny had also been on loan from Everton.
"He'd always tell me what a great club they were and when the call came they were in for me in the summer, I asked Jonjoe's opinion and also (club captain) John Lundstram, who I also know very well.
"The feedback I got was very good, so that turned my head."
So impressive has Ledson's first season at Oxford been, he is simultaneously in demand with club and country.
He missed Oxford's stoppage-time victory over Scunthorpe on Saturday as he met up with the England Under-20 squad for a four-nation tournament in Brittany this week.
An opener against Portugal on Thursday, followed by games against France and Senegal, all serve as preparation for May's Under-20 World Cup in South Korea.
"That will be a massive thing for us," Ledson admitted. "We've got a new gaffer (Paul Simpson) so we can see how he works and for 10 days, it's going to be crucial for our preparations later in the year.
"To go away and play a few games before taking part in the third biggest tournament in the world in South Korea, it's just all experience for me.
"Being a young lad, to go and play there will be a fantastic opportunity."
Ledson goes on England duty this week with the blessing of Oxford manager Michael Appleton, someone Ledson identifies as key to his on and off-field development this season.
"It's a blow to lose him for a period of time and games," Appleton said. "But sometimes things happen for a reason.
"It will be a positive thing for Ryan. It will allow him to step out of the environment, play in a different type of game, spend time with some other people and hopefully come back refreshed."
Ledson cited the progression of former Oxford players Kemar Roofe and Callum O'Dowda - now at Leeds and Bristol City respectively - as testament to Appleton's pedigree for bringing young players on in the game.
"I spoke to him in the summer before I signed and everything he said then, he's stuck to," Ledson said.
Ledson's first game after England duty will be Oxford's EFL Trophy final against Coventry City on 2 April.
But which would mean more - winning a Wembley final or a chance to represent his country at a global tournament?
"Let's hope we can do both," he replied.
Should Oxford's first season back in League One finish with a flourish and a late surge into the play-offs, Ledson could find himself at the centre of a club v country dilemma.
England's Under-20 World Cup group matches start against Argentina on 20 May, the very same day as the League One play-off final.
"We'll have to just wait and see what happens," he said. "If we do get to the play-offs and the World Cup overlaps, then me, the club and the FA will have a decision to make and it will be in their hands."
In the short-term, being named one of the best young players in the EFL this season is just another thing Ledson has taken in his stride.
"I've just been focusing on playing as many games as I can and developing as a player," he said.
"I'm still a young player, but the more games I get under my belt, the better player I'll become."
On Wednesday, Italy's parliament approved a plan to send naval boats to Libya to stop migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
Italy is the main recipient of migrants making the dangerous trip from Libya.
Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar has now ordered naval bases in four Libyan cities to block Italian ships.
While the LNA said it would repel "any naval vessel that enters national waters without permission from the army", it did not specify whether it would be ready to use force.
Libya is torn in two between the eastern-based government, which supports Field Marshall Haftar, and the UN-backed government based in Tripoli, which supports the deal.
Libya's eastern-based government said Italy wanted to "export the illegal immigration crisis from its territory to Libya's", adding that the return of tens of thousands of migrants would have a "dangerous impact" on Libya's security, economy and society.
It said the actions of Italian ships in Libyan waters were "a violation of sovereignty".
Meanwhile the competing UN-backed government will co-operate in all operations and must give permission for any Italian ship to deploy off Libya.
Italy will initially deploy two ships, in what the government says is an operation to help the Libyan coastguard and target people smugglers.
The Italian Defence Minister Roberta Pinotti said there would be "no harm done or slight given to Libyan sovereignty", and stressed the mission would not be a "blockade" preventing migrant boats from leaving.
However, rights groups have warned that those sent back to Libya face abuse at the hands of traffickers.
More than 94,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy so far this year, according to the UN - a record number. More than 2,370 have died trying to reach Italy.
Arrivals in July though were down dramatically on the same month last year - 11,193 compared with 23,552, according to the Interior Ministry.
Migrants picked up in Libyan coastal waters - and not international waters - can be legally returned to Libya, but aid workers say conditions in migrant reception camps there are dire.
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.
Sidney Fillery was accused of the crime following the murder of private detective Daniel Morgan, who was found with an axe in his head outside a London pub in 1987.
But the High Court ruled Mr Fillery was unfairly prosecuted on the evidence of a "doubtful witness".
Damages have yet to be agreed.
The judge, Mr Justice Mitting, threw out the claims of three other men accused of carrying out the murder of Mr Morgan - who was found dead in the pub car park.
Daniel Morgan, from Llanfrechfa, near Cwmbran, worked for a private investigations agency, Southern Investigations, during the 1980s.
He was killed after leaving the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham, south-east London.
Mr Fillery's civil proceeding follows a series of failed police investigations into Mr Morgan's murder, which were dogged by allegations of police corruption.
Several investigations in 1990s and 2000s led to a prosecution being brought in 2011 against Mr Morgan's business partner, Jonathan Rees, and two brothers, Glenn and Gary Vian.
But the case collapsed and it emerged a senior police officer, Det Supt David Cook, had established improper contact with a witness and concealed it from prosecutors.
As a result, Mr Fillery and the three others claimed the Met had falsely and maliciously prosecuted them.
Mr Justice Mitting decided Det Supt Cook "deliberately withheld" details of his contact with the witness from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) - which decided to press charges.
He concluded this amounted to '"misfeasance in public office" but said it was the decision of the CPS as to whether to prosecute all four men, not the Met.
He added the prosecution would have gone ahead even if the evidence of the tainted witness had been left out.
But Mr Justice Mitting found Mr Fillery was prosecuted entirely on this witness's evidence, which made his prosecution unfair.
The Daniel Morgan case remains unsolved and is the subject of an independent Home Office inquiry
In a statement, Mr Morgan's brother Alistair said the case had "focussed simply on the conduct of David Cook."
"Whatever the conclusions of this judgement, we consider that it would be a travesty of justice if David Cook is allowed to become the scapegoat for the failures of the Metropolitan Police over the decades in failing to confront the police corruption that lay at the heart of this case," he added.
Andrea Constand claims the US comedian drugged and molested her at his Philadelphia home in 2004. Mr Cosby's lawyers argue the sex was consensual.
The jurors entered a second day of deliberations after failing to reach a verdict on Monday night.
If convicted, Mr Cosby, 79, faces up to a decade in prison.
Dozens of women say he assaulted them, but statutes of limitation rules mean he is on trial for only Ms Constand's allegation.
She claims he gave her three blue pills, which he described as "little friends", before sexually assaulting her.
Ms Constand, the 44-year-old at the centre of the case, settled a civil lawsuit with the embattled star in 2006 and was given an undisclosed cash sum.
She was in court on Tuesday morning, while the accused's wife, Camille Cosby, who accompanied him to court for the first time on Monday, was absent.
After deliberating for more than four hours on Monday, the jurors asked Judge Steven O'Neill to hear excerpts from Mr Cosby's unsealed 2005 deposition to clarify the context in which the comedian describes the pills he gave her during the encounter.
Mr Cosby declined to testify in this case, but extracts from his previous deposition were read aloud for about 30 minutes in court.
These related to the number and type of sexual contacts Mr Cosby claimed to have with Ms Constand as well as his description of the night in question.
"Your friends," Mr Cosby said he told her in the 2005-06 deposition. "I have three friends for you to make you relax."
He later told police the pills were Benadryl, a cold and allergy medicine, and that what transpired was consensual.
"I wanted her to be comfortable and relaxed and be able to go to sleep after our necking session," he told police.
Closing arguments on Monday came after just six days of testimony, which included another woman who accused Mr Cosby of sexually assaulting her in a similar manner and Ms Constand's mother.
Defence lawyers for Mr Cosby rested their case after presenting a single witness.
Detective Richard Schaffer appeared for just six minutes on the defence's behalf, in which he told a jury that Ms Constand had visited Mr Cosby at an out-of-state casino.
Mr Cosby's lawyers argue that Ms Constand's account changed several times and that she hid her romantic relationship with the comedian when reporting the incident a year later.
But Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele insists Mr Cosby was a sexual predator who altered the story to make it appear that the two were involved in a relationship. | A 26-year-old woman has been charged with murder after a man was fatally stabbed in Oxfordshire.

The home side might have had a penalty before surprisingly taking lead when City defender Nicolas Otamendi could only head a clearance straight to Clarets midfielder Dean Marney, who volleyed in from 25 yards.
City struggled for fluency but Aguero equalised when he poked in a shot at the far post after a corner was deflected into his path.
The visitors controlled the game after the break and took the lead when a Fernandinho cross hit Aguero and went in after some sloppy Burnley defending.
Clarets defender Michael Keane had a late header blocked by Aleksandar Kolarov and an overhead kick from Ashley Barnes was saved by City keeper Claudio Bravo but Burnley failed to prevent a third home loss in the top flight this season.
Relive Burnley v Manchester City
Follow the rest of Saturday's Premier League games
This was hardly City at their best but their battling win highlighted their squad strength and battling spirit at what is proving one of the tougher trips in the Premier League this season.
City boss Pep Guardiola was worried about the toll on his players after his side's Champions League exertions at Borussia Moenchengladbach on Wednesday, with his side having lost one and drawn two of their past three games following outings in Europe.
He made five changes to his starting line-up, including leaving out defender John Stones and putting key player Kevin de Bruyne on the bench, as he wanted "fresh legs".
However, City conceded early on - and now have just two clean sheets in their past 16 league games - before they improved and dominated the second half to claim a sixth away win out of seven in the top flight.
"If you want to be a champion you have to play a game like this," said City skipper Fernandinho.
Aguero's goals were not exactly collectors' items but it was his ability to be in the right place at the right time which proved key against Burnley.
The Argentine's movement, desire and ability on the ball kept the Burnley defence occupied and he has now scored more than 10 goals in each of his six seasons in the Premier League.
Aguero has now scored against 29 of the 30 different teams that he's faced in the Premier League, only failing to score against Bolton.
"He played really well and moved really well. He had a really good game," said Guardiola.
"From the beginning he was ready, his body language was very good."
Burnley boss Sean Dyche wanted a reaction from his side after the 4-0 hammering by West Brom on Monday, and he certainly got it as they were back to their tenacious selves against City.
Dyche's side had a strong shout for a penalty after Otamendi shoved Jeff Hendrick before Marney gave them the lead with his first top-flight goal in 2,558 days.
The home side were helped by 37-year-old keeper Paul Robinson, making his Clarets debut and first Premier League appearance since May 2012. He produced three key saves before a "comedy of errors" cost them the winner.
"I can't believe we haven't had a penalty again," said Dyche. "You need those decisions in these games. It's an obvious smash in the back and is a penalty."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Burnley boss Sean Dyche: "We deliberately made it awkward for City, by pressing them and playing it forward earlier than I usually believe in.
"Generally it worked very well. I was pleased with our understanding and execution of our tactical plan, and we created enough to get something out of the game."
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "I have to learn how to control the second balls because in Spain and Germany teams do not play long or with these flat balls and crosses with the same intensity, or so frequently as Burnley did.
"All of our players showed huge character and we are so happy because this week was very important for us.

"The other thing I have to learn about English football is the referees. Sometimes it is a foul, sometimes it isn't. I am not judging them but it is simple like that - here it is completely different to other countries."

The practise was banned in 2013 after annual harvests of the molluscs plummeted from 200 to 20 tonnes in the space of five years.
TV presenter and adventurer Ben Fogle has backed the Blue Marine Foundation project and will help transfer the first 1,500 oysters.
Olympic champion Sir Ben Ainslie has already supported the bid.
Oyster fishing in the Solent was banned after the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Project found the molluscs were failing to reproduce as a result of water quality, invasive species and over fishing.
A pilot project, involving adult oysters, was previously held at Ainslie's racing team's base and at the University of Portsmouth's raft in Langstone Harbour.
Following its success, Blue Marine Foundation said 10,000 juveniles would be transferred to cages at the two sites, as well as at four marinas across the Solent over the next month.
Former BBC Countryfile presenter Fogle said his experience of travelling the world's oceans had "opened his eyes to the scale of marine destruction".
"Restoring the native oyster to the Solent would be another step closer to turning the tide against the large-scale degradation of our oceans," he added.
"These oysters will change the whole dynamic of the Solent. They're going to improve the water quality, bring back other marine life and perhaps tourism will benefit."
Tim Glover, of Blue Marine Foundation, said the pilot project showed the technique of suspending cages of oysters under floating pontoons "can result in healthy reproduction and low mortality".
He said the group aimed to introduce up to a million oysters to the Solent during 2017.
Blue Marine Foundation said restoring oyster stocks would "help to ensure a sustainable supply of oysters for harvesting in the long term".
A final report on the project is expected in 2021.
But the 35-year-old insists that the injury was not the only factor in ending his career.
"It was part of the decision but not the only part," he said. "My age, opportunity to coach, young family."
Blair has yet to fully recover from a concussion suffered in January and will consult a specialist neurology team.
Capped 85 times by Scotland and selected for the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa in 2009, Blair will now use that experience as an assistant coach with the Scotstoun club next season.
He made 12 appearances for Gregor Townsend's reigning Pro12 champions and was voted player of the month in October, but says time has run out for him to be fit again before the end of the season.
"I actually planned to retire last season, but Gregor Townsend persuaded me to join Glasgow," said Blair, who would have ended his playing career this summer even if he had not been presently sidelined.

"It's a difficult day, but the amount of time I've had in the game I knew it would have to end."
Blair started his professional career with Edinburgh in 2001 and had spells with Brive in France and Newcastle Falcons in England's top flight before joining Glasgow last summer.
"I guess I've been fairly fortunate and it's something I've never really thought about," he said. "I just love playing rugby.
"Being captain of Scotland was a really big thing for me, being involved with a Lions tour and playing in the semi-final of the European Cup with Edinburgh in 2009 will all live long in the memory."
Despite suggesting that he never planned for his long career, Blair said he always had an intensity to win, both in and outside rugby.
"For me, it was always about individual battles," he said. "It was a team game and you did everything to help the team win, but for me if you've got a one-on-one tackle or you're trying to beat somebody, that contest is something that I loved.
"I hate being beaten one-on-one. I remember playing a game of table tennis when my wee brother beat me when I was 14. He was nine. I hated losing those battles."
That determination to win will now be seen from the touchline as Blair prepares to move into full-time coaching at Glasgow next season, but he realises that his experience as a player is no guarantee of success in the new role.
"I don't know if I'm going to make a great coach," he said. "Just because I've played rugby at a high level doesn't mean I will pass that on.
"But I've been working with scrum-halves Henry Pyrgos and Ali Price and really enjoying it.
"Next year is a great opportunity to work with an incredible group of players and management group and I just want to learn as much as I can."
Blair admits he will miss being a player.
"I don't feel it yet," he said. "I feel like an injured player who's not been playing.
"Maybe in six months or a year's time I will. One of the hardest things I've had to do is tell my kids."
Townsend praised Blair for a significant contribution during his short spell at Scotstoun.
"He exceeded our expectations on the field with some outstanding performances and would have been in the running for player of the season before picking up his recent injury," said the Glasgow coach.
"In my opinion, he is one of Scotland's best-ever rugby players and it was great to see him play in a Warriors jersey this season.
"It's disappointing that he's not able to finish his career on his own terms, but he can reflect on a brilliant career both at club and at international level.
"Mike's influence off the field has already had an impact at the club, as our three scrum-halves, Ali Price, Grayson Hart and Henry Pyrgos, are all playing well and that is partly down to Mike's coaching and guidance."
The software, launched globally on Wednesday, is the company's attempt to reverse its fortunes in the mobile industry.
Windows 10 will be offered as a free upgrade to most consumers.
However, companies will have to pay for their version, as will PC-makers to pre-install it. Analysts say the strategy is designed to speed adoption.
Speaking exclusively to BBC News, Satya Nadella said: "Windows 10 is a huge milestone for us as a company, and quite frankly the industry."
Microsoft is staggering the release over several weeks, so not everyone will be able to get the upgrade on the launch day.
What's in Windows 10 and how do you get it? Read more.
Microsoft has until now released a new version of Windows every few years.
Windows 10 will be the last launch of this kind, the company said - from here on it will gradually update the software for free over months and years.
Mr Nadella said he hoped features like digital personal assistant Cortana - comparable to Apple's Siri, and Google Now - would set Windows 10 apart.
"I'm really excited about Cortana," he said.
"I think of it as [being] as profound as perhaps the PC operating system.
"If you think about our history in technology, we've had concepts that have changed how people have interacted with their computing resources.
"One of them was a graphical user interface, the second was the browser and the web. I think of Cortana as the third platform."
Speaking about possible privacy concerns, Mr Nadella took aim at companies like Google who use data to sell advertising.
"One of the foundational pieces of making anything more personal is trust," he said.
"We're not trying to sell you advertising, we're trying to in fact sell you software or devices so you as a user can trust it, that it's working on your behalf.
"I as a consumer may want to sometimes trade off my data to get a free service, and that's ok. But it's the other users of that same data - that is where trust matters.
"I absolutely want Microsoft to be trustworthy. How consumers make choices between companies, I'll leave it to them."
Mr Nadella argued that future devices, like augmented reality headset Hololens, would maintain the relevance of Windows 10.
The developer version of Hololens, which is placed over a user's eyes and displays graphics in their surroundings, is on course to be released within a year, Mr Nadella said.
Consumer versions of the software would follow at a later date.
But Microsoft's poor track record in mobile means Mr Nadella has had to change the firm's focus.
He has ramped up the company's efforts in creating apps for rival systems - Apple's iOS and Google's Android.
Mr Nadella told the BBC this wasn't simply "plan B" after falling so far behind in the sector.
"I don't think so. I think this is Plan A to me.
"I don't think of this as some zero-sum construct where our presence on other platforms is taking away from the Windows ecosystem.
"If anything, if you're using a lot of Microsoft applications on these other platforms, you might in fact find any one of our devices pretty attractive in your life."
Analysts still see Microsoft's small presence in the mobile world as a serious Achilles heel.
"Consumers are spending the most time on smartphone," said Geoff Blaber, a Silicon Valley-based analyst for CCS Insight.
"This is Microsoft's big, big challenge, because they're only on 3% of smartphones.
"They need to be engaging people on the mobile screen to ensure that their surfaces are being used as far and as widely as possible."
While the company is still to make a small number of mobile devices - a couple of smartphones, and its Surface tablet-laptop hybrid - it has significantly lowered its ambitions in the area.
Earlier this month, Microsoft wrote off last year's $7.5bn (£4.5bn) acquisition of Finnish mobile giant Nokia, while laying off thousands of the employees it gained from the phone company.
The write down resulted in the company's biggest ever quarterly loss.
The deal was made by Mr Nadella's predecessor, Steve Ballmer.
But Mr Nadella refused to call the Nokia move a mistake.
"That's not how to look at it," he said.
"When you acquire and you bring large organisations together there is a certain amount of unfortunate rationalisation that happens."
Windows 10 is muliti-platform - meaning essentially the same software can power PCs, smartphones, tablets, games consoles and wearables.
Mr Nadella hopes this will prove an incentive for developers to design software for the system.
The previous version of the operating system - Windows 8 - was so badly received the company leapfrogged making Windows 9 altogether in an attempt to distance itself from its previous outlook.
In the run-up to launching Windows 10, Microsoft launched its Insider Program - a scheme which allowed millions of users to test out new features and provide feedback which was monitored and acted upon by the team.
Initial reviews of the software have been positive.
Mr Nadella said: "We want Windows to go from where users need it, to choose it... to loving it."

But World United, who have just celebrated their 10th anniversary, have made foreign signings their specialty.
The team was initially set up in Belfast as a way for immigrants and asylum seekers to meet other people with shared experiences.
Over the years more than 100 players have come through the team.
Reginald Vellem, originally from Zimbabwe, has been living in Northern Ireland for 11 years and acts as the team's chairperson.
"Initially when World United was set up it was catering for people like myself coming into Northern Ireland," he said.
"It gave guys an opportunity to get together, to get to know about Northern Ireland - it then grew from that to serving the local community.
"Currently what we do is workshops focusing on racism and sectarianism issues.
"We work with community groups - the likes of the PSNI community relations team and local authorities as well."
Kingsley Burrows from South Africa has been playing with the team for more than three years.
"With World United I met people in the same boat as myself whereas if I was playing in local clubs I was just meeting people from this country," he said.
"So it was nice to share experiences with people coming to this country, not just sharing with people that live here already."
The team play around every six to eight weeks, and although their main aim is not to become a league team, some of their players have graduated on to some of the local league teams.
"Over the past year we've been getting some amazing players coming through," said team manager Adrian Murphy.
He picks out a closely fought match between World United and the PSNI team as being particularly memorable.
"The match actually got abandoned after about 70 minutes," he said.
"We were 5-2 down at half time and we came back to 5-5 after some great football, but things got a wee bit out of hand and we just called it off but it was all in good fun and good-natured."
With many of the players coming from different countries with their own problems, team members felt disappointed in recent weeks to see reports of racist attacks and incidents in the news.
Reginald remembers that after leaving Zimbabwe in 2002, while most people welcomed him, he did experience racism in Belfast.
"I've been a victim of racism, it's not a good experience," he said.
"I've had graffiti written on the house once, but the local community did come out to offer their support and a local councillor also came out to reassure us.
"Going through a racist attack was a very traumatic thing but there was a lot of positive support that came from it."
Comparing his experiences to life in South Africa, Kingsley said it saddened him to see racist attacks in Northern Ireland.
"It was 1994 when Mandela came into power and the peace process started around the same time here," he said.
"I didn't think I would leave South Africa and experience or see acts of racism or things like that in other countries.
"I think South Africa's come a long way to come out of their problems, so to see it in another country seems sad and weird."
On the success of World United so far, Reginald says the best thing about the team is the help it provides for people coming to Northern Ireland for the first time.
"The integration process doesn't have to be a painful one," he said.
"I would encourage people to move to Northern Ireland - it's good craic."
In a post on her blog, Siobhan Curham said she is "not allowed to go into" the details of the problems, but they "have nothing to do with Zoe".
Earlier this week Zoella, whose real name is Zoe Sugg, confirmed she had received "help" writing her novel.
Ms Curham also said she was not looking for "fame" or to "get rich" when she agreed to work on Girl Online.
"I love writing books and I love helping others write books," she wrote.
"When I was offered the opportunity to help Zoe, I also saw the opportunity to help get important and empowering messages across to her incredibly huge fan-base.
"Messages about self belief, anxiety, sexuality and - oh the irony - online hate. That was my sole motivation for taking the job."
The author, who has written a number of young adult novels published under her own name, said the success of Girl Online had helped many bookshops turn a profit.
"Penguin, and many other publishers around the world, are now able to afford to offer more unknown writers book deals," she wrote.
Ms Curham also alluded to the issue of "transparency in celebrity publishing" and said Zoella should not be blamed for a practice that has been going on for a number of years.
Earlier this week, Penguin issued a statement saying it was part of a publisher's role to "help" new talent.
Many of Zoella's fans sent positive messages to the YouTube star after her announcement, saying that they still "loved" the book.
More than 78,000 copies of Girl Online were sold in its first week of publication.
After the figures were released, Zoella tweeted: "I'm legit blown away by this. I never in a million years thought that so many of you would pick up a copy of Girl Online. Almost want to cry."
The record is the highest since sales recording system Nielsen BookScan began collecting information on the book market in 1998, according to The Bookseller.
It is the first of a two-book deal Zoella has with Penguin.

In extreme cases claimants had handed over photographic and video evidence of "highly personal sexual activity" in an effort to persuade officials, the Home Affairs Committee found.
The gay rights group Stonewall called the testing system "distressing".
The Home Office promised to monitor and maintain standards.
In its report on the asylum system, the committee said it was concerned by the quality of the UK Border Agency's decision-making, as 30% of appeals against initial decisions had been allowed in 2012.
And a backlog of 32,600 asylum cases that should have been resolved in 2011 was yet to be concluded, while the number of applicants still waiting for an initial decision after six months had risen by 63% last year.
Some had been waiting up to 16 years, while the housing with which they were provided was sometimes "appalling".
It also said poor decision-making by officials was raising the risk of the UK harbouring war criminals.
The committee also focused on the situation facing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people seeking asylum.
In its report, the committee said they faced "extraordinary obstacles" in persuading immigration officers of their case.
Its chairman, Labour MP Keith Vaz, told BBC News: "It is absurd for a judge or a caseworker to have to ask an individual to prove that they are lesbian or gay, to ask them what kind of films they watch, what kind of material they read.
"People should accept the statement of sexuality by those who seek asylum. This practice is regrettable and ought to be stopped immediately."
A Supreme Court ruling in 2010 stated that the "underlying rationale" of the United Nations Refugee Convention was that people should be able to "live freely and openly" in their own country without fear of persecution.
This judgement, the committee said, had effectively overturned the Border Agency's previous emphasis on "voluntary discretion" - which had meant it should be seen an option for claimants to conceal their sexuality in order to avoid abuse.
The report said: "The battleground is now firmly centred in 'proving' that they are gay. In turn, this has led to claimants going to extreme lengths to try and meet the new demands of credibility assessment in this area, including the submission of photographic and video evidence of highly personal sexual activity to caseworkers, presenting officers and the judiciary."
The committee said: "We were concerned to hear that the decision making process for LGBTI applicants relies so heavily on anecdotal evidence and 'proving that they are gay'."
It added that "it is not appropriate to force people to prove their sexuality if there is a perception that they are gay. The assessment of credibility is an area of weakness within the British asylum system.
"Furthermore, the fact that credibility issues disproportionately affect the most vulnerable applicants - victims of domestic and sexual violence, victims of torture and persecution because of their sexuality - makes improvement all the more necessary."
The Refugee Council said the committee's report reflected its "grave concerns" about the UK asylum system.
Chief Executive Maurice Wren said: "Failing to treat asylum seekers with dignity and, simultaneously, failing to deal effectively and fairly with their claims has created an expensive and counter-productive bureaucratic nightmare that all too often denies vulnerable people the protection from persecution and oppression they desperately need."
Stonewall says LGBTI people in some countries have suffered rape, torture and death threats.
Spokesman Richard Lane said: "Being gay isn't about what nightclubs you go to; it is a fundamental part of who you are.
"Sadly, in far too many cases, valuable time is spent attempting to 'prove' a claimant is gay in this way rather than establishing whether they have a legitimate fear of persecution.
"This is not only a waste of time and resources but can be deeply distressing to asylum seekers, many of who have fled for fear of their lives."
A Home Office spokesman said: "The UK has a proud history of granting asylum to those who need it. We are committed to concluding all cases as quickly as possible, but asylum cases are often complex and require full and thorough consideration.
"We have robust mechanisms in place to monitor standards of housing provided to asylum seekers."
He added: "We will continue to monitor performance to ensure that standards are met."
The Prince's Regeneration Trust has spent about £9m revamping Middleport Pottery in Burslem.
The trust said it bought the Grade II-listed building in June 2011 to save 50 jobs and preserve skills. The factory has produced Burleigh china since 1888.
A visitor centre, workshops and a cafe have been put in and the original bottle kiln has been refurbished.
The factory was officially reopened on Tuesday by Prince Charles.
Trust chief executive Ros Kerslake said it had brought the factory up to "21st Century standards but kept the huge uniqueness of how it was in 1888".
She said: "It did need a lot of significant construction work, the roof needed substantial repair, for example, but we tried to be sensitive to not over restore or over modernise the place."
The trust said it hoped to boost its visitor numbers from about 8,000 to 30,000 people a year through its new museum exhibit and by encouraging schools to use the new classroom spaces.
As part of the refurbishment, 19,000 historic pottery moulds and cases belonging to factory tenants Burgess, Dorling and Leigh, were moved out of the factory.
The pieces, collected over the past 130 years, were stored for seven months at the old Spode pottery site in Stoke town centre.
The plaster moulds have been catalogued and returned to a new storeroom at the factory.
Visitor centre manager Theresa Fox-Wells said: "[They] were up on the third floor, the weight was putting quite a strain on the building.
"It was a huge exercise to transport them from site to site. They're now safely stored here again, but on the ground floor this time."
The trust said since it had taken over the factory 30 new jobs had been created on both the administrative and manufacturing side.
It said it was aiming to create 30 more.
Money for the project had come from a range of sources including English Heritage, the government's Regional Growth Fund, the Heritage Lottery Fund and private donations, the trust said.

A season of high-profile cup upsets looked like it could claim yet another victim when Scott Laird fired the League One side ahead soon after the break.
But United's disjointed attack finally found some fluidity when expensive loan signing Radamel Falcao was replaced after an hour, and recalled midfielder Ander Herrera led the revival.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Herrera, making only his third start in three months, squeezed home the equaliser with Wayne Rooney avoiding contact with the ball in an offside position, before Marouane Fellaini's close-range finish gave United the lead in a thrilling tie.
Rooney, back playing in a more advanced role, made certain of victory with a late penalty that he won and converted himself to give the scoreline a gloss that Preston did not deserve.
If United boss Louis van Gaal did not quite restore Rooney to his front line for this tie, he did at least push his captain higher up the pitch from the deeper midfield position he has occupied recently.
His movement was impressive early on but being closer to the sharp end did not allow Rooney more scoring opportunities, with a blocked shot from Luke Shaw's pull-back his only effort on goal in the first half.
His United team-mates were also frustrated as they struggled to break down a well-drilled and hard-working North End side, roared on by a noisy home support.
Angel Di Maria bent a free-kick a few inches wide but that was the closest the 11-times winners came to making the breakthrough before the interval.
However you described Van Gaal's latest formation - 4-1-2-2-1 being a close approximation - it was not helping United turn their vastly superior possession into chances.
When they did find time and space in dangerous positions their delivery was frequently disappointing, with Di Maria a repeat offender with wasted balls.

It all meant Preston goalkeeper Thorsten Stuckmann did not have a shot to save before the break
North End's own threat had been restricted to a couple of tame shots from distance and a Joe Garner header that looped over the bar.
But that all changed two minutes into the second half when Garner sent Laird galloping into the box to power in a shot that was heading wide before deflecting off Antonio Valencia and squeezing under De Gea.
United's response was hardly venomous, with the Preston defence easily dealing with the crosses hoisted into their box.
In fact the home side went closer to making it 2-0 when Tom Clarke got on the end of a whipped free-kick but could not connect with his shot in front of goal.
After an hour, Van Gaal had seen enough. He hauled off the ineffective Falcao for Ashley Young in a change that helped turn the game in his side's favour.

Young supplied the pass for Herrera's equaliser and Fellaini, pushed further forward as part of the switch, followed up his own saved header to power home United's winner from close range.
Preston were not quite finished yet, with Kyel Reid fizzing one shot wide and Callum Robinson firing another straight at De Gea from the edge of the area.
But United made sure of their progress with two minutes to go when Stuckmann sent Rooney tumbling, although there were some suggestions he might have dived, and he stepped up to send his penalty high into his net.
Preston boss Simon Grayson:
"We did create some good chances at times and the players can wake up in the morning and be very proud of what they've done.
"Hopefully we can use this as motivation for the rest of the year. Our sole aim at the start of the season really was to get promoted to the Championship.
"We'll take a lot of positives and we'll take the money - we need more money to get some more players in."
The Australian led the first 28 laps but was switched to a three-stop strategy and ended up finishing fourth.
"I'm a bit devastated. A big part of me is happy the team are on winning form but it's hard to celebrate," he said.
"To not be on the podium sucks. I will pull the guys aside who I need to ask them what the deal was today."
The decision handed the lead to Verstappen, who hung on despite pressure from Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen to win on his debut for Red Bull, following his promotion from the junior Toro Rosso team.
"I don't want to come across as a bad sportsman," Ricciardo said. "Whatever happened on track, Max crossed the line first.
"Sure, it is every man for himself and I'm bitter, but not at Max, he did what he had to do, but I'm bitter at the situation."
Team boss Christian Horner said Red Bull split the drivers' strategies because they were under pressure from both Raikkonen and Ferrari team-mate Sebastian Vettel in quicker cars.
"It was always going to be tricky to keep the Ferraris behind us," Horner said.
"In clean air, Ferrari probably had a slight car advantage on us.
"We elected to split the strategies because it wasn't obvious which was going to be the quicker route, the three-stop or the two-stop, and we felt Sebastian in clean air looked to be the fastest car and we were asking: 'How do we beat Vettel?'
"We felt by splitting our strategies it gave us both options because we knew the two-stop was going to be under a lot of pressure at the end of the race in terms of degradation.
"Max looked after his tyres incredibly well to make sure he had just enough left to fend off Kimi in the last few laps."
Horner paid tribute to Verstappen's achievement in becoming the youngest driver ever to win in F1.
"Max's performance has been exemplary," Horner said.
"The biggest aspect has been his calmness. He has a lot of capacity when driving the car.
"He is a young man completely in control of what he was doing.
"He did a 27.5 on his first flying lap and since then he has not put a wheel wrong all weekend."

Spanish Grand Prix coverage details
Andrew Ferguson, 35, attacked his victim in the complex at Ninewells Hospital in 2000 before going on to rape another woman years later and assaulting a third.
Ferguson was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow.
He was earlier convicted at a trial in Edinburgh of eight charges including rape, indecent assault and assault.
The crimes, which Ferguson continues to deny, took place between 2000 and 2014.
Ferguson raped the woman at the nurses' residence before carrying out similar attacks on a second victim at houses in Cairneyhill and Inverkeithing, both in Fife.
A jury heard a third woman was then assaulted in Inverkeithing.
Brian McConnachie, defending, said Ferguson knew he would be jailed, but that he "maintained he did not commit the offences".
Mr McConnachie added: "His partner is standing by him. She is here in court to support him."
Judge Lord McEwan also placed Ferguson on the sex offenders' register.
Det Insp James Leeson, of Police Scotland, said: "The suffering that these women endured and the subsequent trial as a result of Ferguson refusing to take responsibility for his horrific crimes was incredibly distressing.
"However, if it wasn't for the courage that they showed by coming forward then it wouldn't have been possible to bring him to justice, and we welcome this sentence.
"I would like to thank each of these women and our partner agencies for all of their assistance and support throughout our inquiries and the subsequent trial.
"I hope that this sentence will give these women some comfort and that they can now begin to move forward with their lives."
Members of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) are campaigning against plans to cut about 180 firefighters and control room jobs in the county.
The union said it would lead to a 20% reduction in full-time uniformed staff.
The fire authority said "strong resilience arrangements" were in place to cover the strike period.
FBU official Keith Handscomb said Essex Fire and Rescue Authority was "putting people's lives at risk" with the cuts.
"They will trot out statistics, but the fact is more than three people are rescued from emergencies by Essex firefighters every day," Mr Handscomb said.
"That is three people every day in Essex who cannot afford any cuts in frontline fire and rescue services."
The union said it had planned to strike for short periods but had effectively been "locked" out until Friday evening.
In a statement, the authority said: "In the interests of public safety, Essex Fire Authority has decided that on this occasion, it will not accept partial performance and therefore will put its well-rehearsed resilience arrangements in place to cover the entire strike period.
"This means that firefighters withdrawing their labour for any part of a shift will not be required, or paid, for the whole shift.
"The service will have greater availability with its resilience arrangements in place than it would under the complicated arrangements set out by the FBU for strike action among various work groups at different times over the three-day period."
The union is involved in an ongoing dispute with the government over pensions.
Sunday's race was won by UK athlete Ben Fish with a time of 01:05:16 and the fastest female runner was Ruth Barnes.
The annual event is in its 36th year but had some changes to the route due to the North Quays works taking place.
Organisers said they believed no African athletes had entered because of better prize money elsewhere in Europe.
The 2016 race was won by Kenyan Robert Mbithi with a time of 1:01:45, setting a new course record.
Some of the celebrities who competed in Sunday's race included actor Will Thorp, broadcaster Sophie Raworth and retired rugby player Lewis Moody MBE.
For Iceland's Reykjavik Grapevine newspaper, the result was not a big surprise. History was on their side.
Throughout Euro 2016, the newspaper has provided coverage of Iceland's sparkling campaign, which is rivalled only by the breathless TV commentary of Gummi Ben. Even before a ball was kicked, Iceland was ready for "Brexit 2 - The Smiting".
But elsewhere England's shock defeat to the tournament debutantes was greeted with a mixture of shock, sensationalism and not a little schadenfreude.
Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung calls England's laboured attempts to gain control of the game a "testament to the helplessness of a team of the disillusioned".
Der Spiegel is baffled by Roy Hodgson's approach to the game, and calls his resignation "his best decision of the day".
For Spain's El Pais, England's plight was not a matter of tactics or team selection, but a product of a mindset built on past tournament failings.
"A throw-in was enough to instil the doubt and everlasting stench of defeat that always accompanies England."
Iceland will go on to face France in the quarter finals and the host nation's media are careful not to underestimate their opponents.
"They are not afraid of anybody," says Le Monde, while Le Figaro warns the French team not to give in to complacency.
"Les Bleus will have celebrated. But they hope one thing: not to become the next victims of these incredible football players who have come in from the cold."
Few nations will have enjoyed the result as much as Wales. Popular website Wales Online posted on Facebook: "Nope, no sympathy."
However, the jeering was too much for leading Welsh-language campaigner and Rhyl FC fan Ffred Ffrancis, who wrote on Twitter:
"Instead of revelling in England's loss, Wales should congratulate Iceland, another small country that's shown how to win at #EURO2016."
In Russia, a country that endured an even worse Euro 2016 campaign, the focus is less on a humiliating defeat than a stunning victory.
Sport Express asks: "How many exclamation marks are needed to reflect the emotions brought on by Iceland's victory?"
SovSport notes that Iceland "draw strength from collectivism", adding: "In the north it is difficult to survive without esprit de corps. The 'Vikings' are patient and courageous at the same time - running, guns blazing, towards the enemy's gates just to test their mettle."
But state-run Channel One TV could not resist a jibe at England's travelling support, stating:
"In contrast to English fans, the Icelandic supporters are extremely peace-loving, although overflowing with emotions. Experts say Iceland's victory is further proof that money does not play football."
Naturally, most papers could not resist drawing parallels to last week's EU referendum. Switzerland's La Tribune de Geneve sas: "England woke up this morning with a terrible hangover for the second time in less than a week. This time it is not the vote of its people which is to blame, but its national team which has disappointed on all fronts."
The result reverberated beyond Europe.
Iran's Khabar Online calls the result "humiliating", and for South Africa's Daily Maverick, England were "a shambles".
In Australia's Daily Telegraph, Martin Gibbes says: "To understand the true depth of England's defeat to Iceland you need every letter of the alphabet." Gibbes then goes on to list every letter: A for apologies, B for blunders, C for clueless... Y for yawn... and so on.
But it was the Reykjavik Grapevine that provided the most insightful explanation for the result.
"This team is playing for the #ISL people, because this team *are* the #ISL people

The Mourne county trailed by a point at the interval after goals by Armagh's Mark Shields and Andrew Murnin.
But Kieran McGeeney's men managed just three point in the second half while Down landed six to clinch the victory.
It was Down's first Championship win over Armagh since 1992 and they face Monaghan or Cavan in the semi-finals.
Armagh, who had been favourites to go through, will now face the difficult task of picking themselves up for the All-Ireland qualifiers.
This was the first time Down had started their Championship campaign at their Pairc Esler home and the result will be a great boost to them and their manager Eamon Burns.
They made the better start and were four points up within the opening nine minutes.
But Armagh's opening score was a 13th-minute goal scored by the right boot of wing half-back Shields which reduced the gap to one point.
Armagh, the top goal scorers in the league earlier in the year, found the net for a second time through Murnin.
As with the first goal, Jamie Clarke was instrumental, feeding forward Murnin whose left-foot finish edged Armagh into a one-point lead.
Murnin almost scored another goal but his shot was touched on to the post by Down defender Anthony Doherty.
Many might have expected Armagh to pull away to win, but they had a dismal second half and Down grabbed the opportunity to progress.
When Darragh O'Hanlon (2) and Conor Maginn scored, it meant Down had got seven of he last eight points.
Down wasted chances to stretch their lead but Armagh, with manager McGeeney serving a touchline ban, failed to take advantage.
In stoppage-time they needed a goal but, after the match was held up by a brawl between players, it was Down who were celebrating at the end.
The Mourne county will face the winners of next Sunday's fourth quarter-final between Cavan and Monaghan.
Down: M Cunningham; A Doherty, G McGovern, D O'Hagan, D O'Hanlon, C McGovern, C Mooney; K McKernan, N McParland; P Turley, C Maginn, S Millar; J Johnston, R Johnston, C Harrison.
Armagh: B Hughes; J Morgan, C Vernon, P Hughes; A McKay, B Donaghy, M Shields; S Sheridan, J McElroy; A Forker, O O'Neill, R Grugan; J Clarke, S Campbell, A Murnin.

But Shabana Basij-Rasikh, who set up the women's college in Kabul in Afghanistan, has been driven by her own daunting early experiences.
The young founder of the School of Leadership, Afghanistan, speaking at the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai, says she wants to start by emphasising the positive.
She has plans to expand her college to teach 340 young women the skills that will help them lead a modern, outward-looking Afghanistan.
The college provides a crash course in civic leadership - with lessons in government and international relations, visiting courts, attending round-table debates, listening to current affairs radio programmes and using Skype to talk to overseas experts.
It wants to break down the ethnic tensions within the country, recruiting from different regions and teaching in English as a neutral language.
There are also practical skills, such as learning to drive a car, from which many women would otherwise be excluded.
But there's no escaping the grim childhood experiences that made education such a passion.
As a girl living in Kabul under the Taliban, Ms Basij-Rasikh wasn't allowed to go to school.
But her parents were determined that she should not miss out and sent her to one of the secret, underground schools operating in the city.
Here women who had been teachers covertly taught lessons, using private houses as classrooms.
It wasn't a game. She said they heard stories of secret schools being raided and the teachers being beheaded in front of their pupils.
Ms Basij-Rasikh says she went to school by a different route and time each day, to avoid setting any pattern. It could take an hour to walk there. Books would be disguised as groceries and male relations would act as lookouts.
She says that even as children they were fully aware of the seriousness of the risks. "It was horrible, horrible, this terror.
"I was compelled to mature faster. I lost the years of fun."
And it was even more traumatic for the parents of these hidden scholars.
"Parents sent us to school every day knowing that we might not come back."
It seemed impossibly and irrevocably bleak, she says.
"I felt I could be caught any day by the Taliban driving around. And I didn't see any future. As a woman, I wasn't going to be able to work.
"There were times when I told my parents that I didn't want to go to school any more.
"But they told me that in life you could lose everything. But there was one thing that no-one could ever take away from you - an education."
It's also worth remembering how recent this was. It was only 13 years ago that she was living in a society where girls' education, not to mention television and music, were out of bounds.
While in the UK we were still moaning about the Millennium Dome, she was living a life closer to Anne Frank hiding from the Nazis.
The only contact with the outside word had been listening to music on black-market Bollywood tapes and listening to the BBC World Service. A BBC soap opera called New Home, New Life, was their biggest entertainment.
After the defeat of the Taliban, she was able to go openly to school for the first time.
"There was an overwhelming sense of freedom," she said. Wearing a school uniform was a great liberation and source of pride.
"Everyone had a huge desire for school. There was a hunger for learning."
She turned out to be very good at school and was put on an exchange programme, which brought her to Wisconsin in the rural US Midwest.
This was another sharp change of culture and she was innocently asked there whether she personally knew Osama Bin Laden.
She was shocked by the stereotypical views and lack of understanding of ordinary life in Afghanistan - and decided that she wanted to do something to bridge that gap.
And after later attending college in the US, she went back to Afghanistan to build a school.
Without education, she says she could have been married off at a young age, illiterate all her life, like many women in Afghanistan.
After founding a school, she turned to her current project in Kabul, the School of Leadership, Afghanistan - or Sola.
She wants the girls who attend here to become the next generation of her country's leaders, the opposite of her own isolated, frightened years of learning.
"Working in education is like planting date trees. It takes 50 years to bear fruit. You have to be patient and you might never get to see it."
Ms Basij-Rasikh's story provided a gritty contrast to the dazzling high-rises of Dubai, where the Global Education and Skills Conference was held this week.
Organised by Unesco and the Varkey Gems Foundation, this international gathering looked at ways of widening access to education and improving its quality.
Former-US president, Bill Clinton, now with more of a gravelly southern drawl, shared his own impressions.
He said he saw how improvement in education across South America was closing the gap in the inequality of incomes - while at the same time that gap was getting wider in the United States.
And he looked back on being a young governor in Arkansas and the feeling that he had failed because he had never managed to find how to replicate and spread the success of the best schools.
Looking back across four decades, he said that he had concluded that it was the quality of teachers that mattered above all else.
Appropriately, the conference saw the launch by Sunny Varkey, founder of the GEMS Varkey Foundation, of a $1m (£610,000) international prize for an "exceptional teacher".
Former UK prime minister Tony Blair called for leading economies to co-operate to support education in developing countries.
Andreas Schleicher, of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, spoke of the need for teachers to have regular access to training.
And Anant Agarwal, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and head of the edX online education platform, predicted that digital content would soon be fully integrated into everyday secondary school classes.
Irina Bokova, director general of Unesco, in the cavernous hall of the world's tallest hotel, reminded the conference of the tens of millions of children around the world without any education at all.
The body of Chinese student Mingzi Yang, 29, was found at her house in Sincil Bank, Lincoln, in June, 2014.
She had been battered to death by Wai Hong Tsang, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for her murder.
A Lincolnshire Community Safety Partnership review found "it would have been difficult for any organisation to have taken steps to prevent it".
Tsang, from Scartho, near Grimsby, was originally interviewed by police as a witness.
More on this and other local stories from across Lincolnshire
He was jailed for life in January 2015 after being convicted of his ex-wife's murder.
During his trial, Tsang was described as a "cold and calculating man".
On the day of the murder, he claimed he left his home in Grimsby early in the morning and drove to Sherwood Forest where he went mountain biking.
But police were able to prove he had travelled via Lincoln, stopping off for more than two hours in a secluded lay-by on the edge of the city - giving him enough time to cycle to Ms Yang's home, kill her and cycle back to his car.
The report found that although there was a history of domestic abuse, the couple had divorced in 2012, and were in new relationships when she was murdered.
However, it found evidence of domestic abuse dating back to when the couple married in 2007.
There were three reported incidents in Humberside in November 2009, November 2011 and December 2011.
Tony McGinty, Independent Chair of the Review Panel, said part of the review looked at how organisations responded to previous incidents involving the couple.
He said that although procedures were followed, agencies were sometimes limited because "the nature of the abuse suffered was often coercive control".
Vauxhall's pension scheme is one of the largest in the UK, with 15,000 members.
Pensions expert John Ralfe said Peugeot owner PSA would not want to touch it "with a barge pole", saying he thought it had a deficit of about £1bn.
Half of the members were pensioners, Mr Ralfe told the BBC's Today programme.
The proposed sale will be discussed in the Commons on Monday afternoon after the Speaker granted an urgent question on the matter to the Labour MP for Ellesmere Port and Neston, Justin Madders.
Meanwhile a Downing Street spokesman confirmed that Prime Minister Theresa May was planning to meet Carlos Tavares, PSA chief executive, but a time and date for the meeting had not yet been fixed.
According to company filings to the end of 2014 - the latest available - the Vauxhall pension scheme had assets of about £1.8bn but liabilities of about £2.6bn, leaving a deficit of £840m.
Since then record low interest rates have hit the returns on government debt in which big pension schemes invest heavily, so the deficit had probably grown, Mr Ralfe said.
Last week it emerged that PSA Group, which also makes Citroen cars, was in talks about taking over GM's loss-making European business, Opel.
Mr Ralfe told Today the size of the deficit was a "major issue for the takeover". "At best it's a stumbling block, at worst it could be a deal breaker," he said.
He said he was clear that PSA would not want to take on the pension scheme so they would only buy the operating assets, including the plant and the Vauxhall brand, leaving the pensions with General Motors UK.
"The trouble with that is that would then be a company with no assets, so what would have to happen ... is that General Motors US would have to issue a guarantee for that UK company," Mr Ralfe said.
PSA, which already works with GM in Europe on several projects, said a takeover was among "numerous strategic initiatives" being considered.
Any deal would involve Opel's UK arm, Vauxhall, which employs 4,500 staff at plants at Ellesmere Port and Luton.
Unite union leader Len McCluskey is also due to meet Mr Tavares this week to discuss the deal and any impact it might have on jobs.
Mr Ralfe said he did not think the Vauxhall pensioners needed to be worried about their position, but said that while politicians were "running around all over the place asking about jobs, they should also be running around asking about pensions".
Matsuyama, 25, who started two shots behind Zach Johnson and Thomas Pieters, sunk an eagle and seven birdies to equal the course record at Akron.
American Johnson carded 68 to finish five shots behind the Japanese on 11 under, one ahead of Charley Hoffman.
Paul Casey, Rory McIlroy and Russell Knox all finished on seven under.
Matsuyama becomes only the fourth player, after Jose Maria Olazabal, Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia, to shoot 61 on Firestone Country Club's South Course.
"I played with Tiger four years ago when he shot 61, so I knew 61 was the number today," said Matsuyama.
"I was thinking about that at 16 - I knew if I birdied 16, 17 and 18, I could get there."
Victory continues a fine run of form for Matsuyama since the end of last year. This was his sixth win in his past 20 starts - during which time he has also managed four top-five finishes and five more top-25 placings.
He claimed his second WGC title - after becoming the first Asian player to win one last October, in Shanghai - with a flawless final round.
An eagle on the par-five second, where he chipped in from just off the green, got him moving before he added birdies at the third, sixth and ninth.
He had a one-shot lead after the 10th over American Hoffman, who climbed the leaderboard with five birdies in his first 11 holes.
Johnson was 10 under after nine holes, following two birdies and a bogey on the front, while Belgian Pieters made a promising birdie at the second but closed the front nine with back-to-back bogeys to fall four off the lead.
Northern Ireland's McIlroy started three shots off the lead and birdied three of the first six holes, only to make three bogeys in the following nine. A birdie at the last saw him finish one under for the day.
The Scottish government this week warned that it could step in to force football authorities to take action.
It followed the failure of disciplinary action over disorder at last season's Scottish Cup final.
"I have not spoken to anyone in any clubs who have any appetite for it," Gray told BBC Scotland.
"We have raised the bar in terms of our league rules should fans misbehave, so I'm not sure if government interference is the way forward and I don't think it can be enforced.
"I am not sure that punishing a club like Hamilton Academical for a fan who throws a punch at a Motherwell fan is the way forward."
More than 70 people have been arrested over the violent scenes that took place after Hibernian lifted the cup for the first time since 1902 with a 3-2 victory over Rangers.
But the SFA panel dismissed as "irrelevant" charges over damage to advertising equipment and, in the case of Hibs, the Hampden pitch and goalposts, following a pitch invasion.
Neither club was punished because the SFA's disciplinary procedures are not underlined by "strict liability" - where clubs are responsible for their supporters' behaviour.
European governing body Uefa imposes greater responsibility for fan behaviour on clubs in European competition and this week Celtic and Legia Warsaw were among clubs disciplined.
"I think the government have been on our case about this - and particular the board of the Scottish Professional Football League and the board of the Scottish FA," added Gray.
"There's been some issues in Europe regarding this and strict liability hasn't worked where it has been applied and Uefa are getting into all sorts of bother because of this and our league does not see this as the way forward," said Gray.
"If a fan was to misbehave here at New Douglas Park, we see that as a criminal act punishable by law and we pay the police to come and police that, so for us it is nice and simple and I think most clubs will think like that.
"There are a few of the bigger clubs who have different issues and they have more problems than small clubs like mine and they have to deal with it in different ways and police it in a different manner.
"I can't see how strict liability would work for 35-37 clubs out of 42 clubs in this country."

Coulson remains there because he faces a possible retrial at the Old Bailey.
But Mr Justice Saunders said any retrial was "way down the line".
The Ministry of Justice said it would not comment on individual cases.
Prisoners deemed to be of low risk are usually assessed and sent to a suitable prison as soon as is practically possible.
Coulson, who was sentenced to 18 months for conspiracy to hack voicemails, is facing a possible retrial on two counts of conspiring to cause misconduct in public office.
It relates to allegations he was involved in conspiring to pay a police officer for royal telephone directories.
He may have to appear at the Old Bailey.
During legal argument, it emerged in court that, due to the unavailability of counsel, a new trial could probably not take place before Christmas.

Mr Justice Saunders, who was the judge in the eight-month hacking trial, said he was "concerned to hear" that Mr Coulson was still at Belmarsh.
He said he would contact the prison governor to explain that any possible retrial would not go ahead quickly.
The judge was speaking during a court hearing at which Crown prosecutor Andrew Edis QC made an application for prosecution costs against the PM's former communications chief.
At an earlier hearing it was revealed that the Crown Prosecution Service estimated that Coulson was liable to pay up to £750,000.
In reference to financial statements supplied to the court, Mr Edis said: "A lot of money has passed through Coulson's hands over the years and there does not appear to be very much left."
Timothy Langdale QC, who represents Coulson, said that his client had been "fully co-operative" in supplying financial information to the court.
It was also revealed that News UK, formerly News International, the company Mr Coulson worked for while at the Sun and the News of the World, may be liable to pay for any costs order made against their former employee.
In 2012, the company was ordered to pay his legal fees in connection with the phone hacking trial.
Mr Justice Saunders reserved his judgement on the issue of costs to a later date.
The 41-year-old Labour MP was killed in her home village near Leeds on Thursday.
Oxfam had already been planning to record a live album to raise money to support their work with refugees.
The charity, which the Batley and Spen MP used to work for, has now announced it will release Stand As One - Live at Glastonbury 2016 in her memory.
When the album was first announced, the festival's co-organiser Emily Eavis said: "The scale of the refugee crisis is so huge we simply had to do something.
"We want people who are far from home and frightened to know we are doing whatever we can to help."
In a statement, Glastonbury headliners Coldplay said: "Right now there are more refugees in the world than at any other time in recent history. They could be us and we could be them."
Laura Mvula, Jack Garratt, The 1975, Editors, Years & Years, Fatboy Slim, Wolf Alice and Chvrches will also appear on the album.
Oxfam said proceeds from Stand As One - Live at Glastonbury 2016 will fund the charity's work with people forced to flee conflict, disaster and poverty.
The album will be released on 11 July.
A statement from Pakistan's foreign ministry condemned the "vitriolic statements" by India.
It called India's stance a "blatant attempt" to deflect attention from human rights abuses in Kashmir.
Indian Home Affairs Minister Rajnath Singh called Pakistan a "terrorist state" soon after Sunday's attack.
Seventeen soldiers died in the raid. One soldier succumbed to his injuries on Monday, taking the death toll to 18.
The attack comes as violent protests against Indian rule in the disputed region continue, with a curfew imposed.
More than 80 people, nearly all anti-government protesters, have died in more than two months of violence.
India held a high-level meeting to discuss an "appropriate response" to Sunday's attack - the worst on its security forces in Kashmir in years.
Local media reported that Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and several top level government officials attended the meeting, held at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's official residence.
Both India and Pakistan claim all of Muslim-majority Kashmir in its entirety but only control parts of it.

Earlier, Mr Singh said on Twitter that "there are definite and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of the Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped".
"I am deeply disappointed with Pakistan's continued and direct support to terrorism and terrorist groups," he said.
Indian army military operations head Lieutenant-General Ranbir Singh said there was evidence the attackers were members of an Islamist militant group in Pakistan.
The gunmen had "some items which had Pakistani markings on", he said.
Pakistan's latest statement said that the situation in Indian-administered Kashmir was "not of Pakistan's making but a direct consequence of illegal Indian occupation and a long history of atrocities".
It added that India's decision to blame Pakistan without conducting an investigation was "deplorable".
The attack has caused a great deal of anger in India, with many calling on the government to "strike back".
#UriAttacks was trending on Twitter in India for much of Sunday and Monday, with many calling for action against Pakistan.
The militants infiltrated across the Line of Control from Pakistan before attacking the base, west of Srinagar, an army officer told the BBC on Sunday.
Gunfire and explosions were heard for several hours.
All four of the attackers were killed. Carrying guns and grenades they stormed a base in Uri, close to the Line of Control with Pakistan-administered territory in a pre-dawn ambush.
Many tents and temporary shelters caught fire during the attack, according to the army's Northern Command.
Twelve soldiers were killed by fires and the others died on Sunday in gun battles, the Hindustan Times reports, citing army sources.
Disputed Kashmir has been a flashpoint between India and Pakistan for more than 60 years, causing two wars between the neighbours.
A militant attack on an army camp in Uri in December 2014 saw at least nine members of the security forces killed.
The last attack of this scale on the Indian army was in June 2015 in Manipur, north-east India, when at least 20 soldiers were killed in an attack on a troop convoy.
The drugs are asthma medication Advair and anti-depressants Paxil and Wellbutrin.
GSK did not admit any wrongdoing, and said the charges came from past issues.
"We don't feel like this is who we are today," GSK spokesperson Mary Anne Rhyne told the BBC.
"These are historic matters - they relate back to the federal government settlement in 2012 so some of these events are as long ago as 14 years," she added, noting that the company had already set aside money to cover the cost of the agreement.
As part of the settlement, GSK must extend its Patient First Program until 2019, which prohibits financial incentives to its sales people, and it is prohibited from paying doctors to speak about GSK's products or attend conferences.
"This settlement requires GSK to pay a significant penalty and imposes strong new rules designed to prevent future misrepresentations of GSK products," said California attorney general Kamala Harris in a statement.
GSK insists that many of these practices are already in place.

Whether soft or hard-boiled, fried or whisked into an omelette, eggs appeared to give infants a boost.
It could be a cheap way to prevent stunting, say researchers in the journal Pediatrics.
The first two years of life are critical for growth and development - any stunting is largely irreversible.
Poor nutrition is a major cause of stunting, along with childhood infections and illnesses.
According to the World Health Organization, 155 million children under the age of five are stunted (too short for their age).
Most live in low- and middle-income countries and health experts have been looking at ways to tackle the issue.
Lora Iannotti and her colleagues set up a field experiment in the rural highlands of Ecuador and gave very young children (aged six to nine months) free eggs to eat to see if this might help.
Only half of the 160 youngsters who took part in the randomised trial were fed an egg a day for six months - the others were monitored for comparison.
The researchers visited the children's families every week to make sure they were sticking to the study plan and to check for any problems or side-effects, including egg allergy.
Stunting was far less common among the egg treatment group by the end of the study - the prevalence was 47% less than in the non-egg group, even though relatively more of these egg-fed infants were considered short for their age at the start of the study.
Some of the children in the control group did eat eggs, but nowhere near as many as the treatment group.
Lead researcher Ms Iannotti said: "We were surprised by just how effective this intervention proved to be.
"And what's great is it's very affordable and accessible for populations that are especially vulnerable to hidden hunger or nutritional deficiency."
She said eggs were great food for young children with small stomachs.
"Eggs contain a combination of nutrients, which we think is important."
Prof Mary Fewtrell, nutrition lead at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "In a way, it is surprising that more research has not been conducted using egg in this situation - although I know that in some cultures, parents do not necessarily find egg to be an acceptable early food mainly because of concerns about allergy.
"Egg is a good nutritious complementary food that can be introduced as part of a varied diet once the mother decides to start complementary feeding - never before four months."
She said eggs should always be well cooked to avoid any potential infection risk.
The WHO recommends mothers worldwide to exclusively breastfeed infants for the child's first six months to achieve optimal growth, development and health. After the first six months, infants should be given nutritious complementary foods and continue breastfeeding up to the age of two years or beyond.
The British Nutrition Foundation advised: "While eggs are a nutritious food to include, it's very important that young children have a variety of foods in their diets. Not only is this necessary to get all the vitamins and minerals they need, but also to allow them to become familiar with a wide range of tastes and textures.
"A range of protein-rich foods should be provided when feeding young children, which can include eggs but can also feature beans, pulses, fish, especially oily fish, meat and dairy products." | An egg a day might help undernourished young children grow to a healthy height, according to a six-month study in Ecuador. | 40,158,358 | 717 | 31 | false |
Currently in non-league's top flight, the four clubs finishing directly below the one automatic promotion place play two-legged semi-finals before a final.
Under the proposals, teams down to seventh in all three of the National League's divisions would be involved.
At the AGM, clubs can vote to amend the proposals, decline them or accept them.
Forest Green won this season's National League promotion final, beating Tranmere Rovers at Wembley 3-1.
FC Halifax Town and Ebbsfleet United won the National League North and South finals respectively, after one-legged semi-final victories.
It is understood that under the proposals all play-off matches will be played over a single leg.
Teams that finish second and third would progress to a semi-final at their home ground, while the teams in fourth and fifth would host seventh and sixth clubs respectively in a "qualifying round".
The winners of those matches would then move into the semi-finals before a final - at Wembley for the National League and a club ground for the North and South divisions.
In theory, that would give teams that finish higher up the division an advantage, as they would play one match less and have a home tie.
According to the report, 42% of children in that age bracket are suffering from malnutrition.
Mr Singh said the level of malnutrition in India was "unacceptably high".
The Hunger and Malnutrition Report also said that one in three malnourished children in the world is Indian.
India was also found to have the highest rate in the world of stunted growth among children.
The report, by a group of non-governmental organisations, surveyed 73,000 households across nine states.
Mr Singh said the government could not rely solely on the Integrated Child Development Services Scheme (ICDS) - India's largest nutritional programme - to tackle malnutrition.
He said the findings of the report were both "worrying and encouraging".
"The survey reports high levels of malnutrition, but it also indicates that one child in five has reached an acceptable healthy weight during the last seven years," he said.
The prime minister emphasised the need for a more integrated approach towards tackling hunger in the country.
Mr Singh said that "health professionals cannot solely concentrate on curative care. Drinking water and sanitation providers cannot be oblivious to the positive externality of their actions. The school teacher needs to be aware of the nutritional needs of the adolescent girl."
The report' findings reflect others by international organisations like Unicef, which says that in India 20% of children under five years of age suffer from wasting due to acute under nutrition.
At the end of 2011, the government tabled a landmark bill aimed at guaranteeing cheap food for more than half the country's population.
Councillors "unanimously agreed to the proposals", a spokesman said.
Coventry councillors supported a deal to sell the authority's share in ACL - the company that runs the Ricoh Arena - to the Premiership rugby club, but the move has angered many Wasps fans.
The council said the move guaranteed Coventry City Football Club's continuing tenancy at the stadium.
The football club would also have "primacy over match fixtures", it added.
The move by Wasps, who were traditionally a London team but have played at Adams Park in High Wycombe for the past 12 years, has been approved by the Professional Game Board.
The city already has a long-established rugby union club, Coventry, which was formed more than 130 years ago and currently plays in National League One.
Wasps said they were "delighted that Coventry City Council have unanimously approved the sale of their shares in ACL to Wasps" and that final details of the agreement would be confirmed on Wednesday.
"This decision has not been taken lightly, it has been a very thorough and detailed process and we truly believe this is the best option to secure a successful long-term future for the club," a statement said.
It added: "It is no secret that the club has been searching for a permanent home for many years.
"We are very excited to be in a position to fulfil this ambition and to be able to move to the Ricoh Arena; it is an outstanding arena in a truly fantastic city.
"We understand this is an unsettling period for our supporters and we will be holding a series of meetings for our season ticket holders, starting this week, where we can speak face-to-face to explain our decision and to address their concerns."
But there was an angry response from many fans on Twitter. James Higson tweeted: "What do you suggest we do now then? 6 hour round trip to Coventry every weekend? Total disgrace, I'm no longer a Wasps fan."
Shane O'Brien tweeted: "Every single one of your ST holders should boycott the remainder of your games this year." And Kristian Ross wrote: "Makes me sick to the stomach. The day rugby died and money won."
And Wasps player Tom Varndell said on Twitter: "Lots of tweets from @WaspsRugby fans who feel v upset & angry, as a player I ask plz keep giving us ur cont support, big games coming!!"
Wasps' move to the Ricoh Arena was ratified by the Professional Game Board (PGB) a ruling body made up of members from various bodies, including The Rugby Football Union and Premiership Rugby.
Wasps' relocation to the Midlands would be purely for matches - and will not come into conflict with the academy systems run by the neighbouring professional clubs to the Coventry area - champions Northampton, Premiership rivals Leicester and Championship side Worcester.
The council jointly owns the stadium with the charity the Alan Higgs Trust.
The council spokesman said: "The deal ensures the council makes a return on its original investment of £13.7m into the Arena development alongside significant investment into grassroots and community rugby development across the city."
In August, League One side Coventry City agreed a two-year deal with ACL to return to the stadium, following a long-running row over rent.
The councillors' vote was held in private because of "commercial confidentiality".
Ann Lucas, leader of the Labour-run city council, told the public part of the meeting councillors were aware of the "seriousness" of the decision and that they represented residents.
"We are people who live in Coventry, who love Coventry," she said.
She later said in a statement: "This deal would not have happened if it threatened the future of the Sky Blues or Coventry Rugby Club.
"This is the most important decision this council has ever made about the future of one of its best community assets and we would not have made it unless we were confident it was the right thing to do."
Coventry City FC supporters' group Sky Blues Trust and several other groups earlier issued an open letter urging the council not to take a final decision at the meeting and to include the organisations in a consultation process.
However, following the meeting, Sky Blues Trust spokesman Jan Mokrzycki said it was a "new start" and the trust would seek a "good relationship" with its new landlord and hoped the football club could stay at Ricoh for longer than the two-year agreed deal.
Wasps said: "It's important to us to make clear that we see the Ricoh as the home of Coventry City Football Club and are committed to it staying that way, and that we are already working with Coventry Rugby Club to ensure both clubs thrive and grow."
Root took his score from 190 not out to 213 before seamer Ravi Rampaul (4-153) had him caught at mid-off.
Only 13.2 overs of play were possible, with champions Yorkshire advancing to 557-6, a lead of 227.
All-rounder Adil Rashid was 60 not out, having been dropped on 30 and 57, with Liam Plunkett on four.
Having drawn their opening three matches, Yorkshire still have a chance of victory if the weather improves on the final day.
Root brought up the fourth double century of his career, from 232 balls, with a single off Rampaul, and hit a six and 22 fours in total.
His partnership with Rashid was worth 95, the latter riding his luck to reach a 70-ball half-century with the help of 10 fours.
Rashid's first let-off came when Jason Roy failed to hold on to a slip chance, and Matt Dunn was later unable to hold a catch off his own bowling.
Surrey batsman Ben Foakes told BBC Radio London:
"We started quite well (on day two) and took three early wickets, but with Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root in bat you have to take your hats off to them and accept that they did play very well.
"Yes, we could have done a little better, but it was two very good innings from the England players.
"Bairstow and Root made it look easy, and once the new ball went it made it even easier for them.
"The rain has helped us out so far and there's everything chance we can draw the game. The new ball could be crucial.
"If you get to the crease you can stay in. The wicket looked to be a good one for batting. Hopefully nothing changes."
The 21-year-old, Britain's highest-ranked female golfer, was part of the team that won in Colorado in 2013.
But Hull was also present when the US came from 10-6 down to win in Germany two years ago, as Europe were accused of "breaking the game's moral code".
"I love playing in front of big crowds," she told BBC Sport.
Hull was involved in the 2013 controversy when the Americans were given a penalty stroke following a misunderstanding over a 'gimme' putt on the 17th.
However, she says the European team have a "good mindset" as they prepare for the competition, which begins at Des Moines on Friday.
"As the saying goes: 'Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me,'" said Hull.
"So if people shout things out I'll use it to my advantage and try to make lots of birdies."
Team-mate and fellow Briton Melissa Reid added: "I'm sure the crowd will be extremely loud. As long as we accept what it's going to be like with the crowds there is no reason we can't win out here."
Eddie Jones' side play four Test matches in as many weeks, with Argentina and Australia still to come.
"The autumn is pretty intense and is probably little bit harder mentally to stay focused," Marler told BBC 5 live.
"Eddie mentioned it's very similar to a World Cup [in terms of] the intensity you have to go through in order to get through your pool."
Ahead of Saturday's match with the Pumas, Marler says the England squad have spoken this week about the challenge of staying mentally refreshed after being in camp together for over a month.
"We have discussed how this could be a tough week for boys who are missing home a bit," the Harlequins forward added.
"It's a collective buy-in from boys to help each other out. We haven't got a specific senior leadership group, but there are boys who have been around long enough.
"The Six Nations brings a lot of history and tradition but you get those two fallow weeks in the middle of it that breaks it up a little bit more - you get more of a change of environment and maybe a couple more days to get home and see the family.
"It is tough, but it's part and parcel of rugby life, and you get on with it."
However, Marler insists that the facilities at England's training base in Surrey means the players have no excuses around their preparation.
"We haven't exactly got it hard, the accommodation and facilities we have here are incredible," the 26-year-old said.
"They are here for a reason, and that's for us to improve as players and as a team. We have the best facilities; there is no excuse."
Marler also says he has learnt from his past experiences, and is now able to act as a mentor to the younger members of the England squad, such as his Harlequins club team-mate Kyle Sinckler, who recently made his international debut.
"Kyle Sinckler has been brilliant for the past 18 months and has finally got his shot, but there have been times with Kyle when I've had to sit down with him and say 'what are you doing?'" Marler said.
"He'll listen and nod, but part of me also thinks is he saying 'what are you going on about Joe, you have done this and that before, you were bad once?'
"I was once, but I like to think I am working on that now.
"So it's little things like that, just to help each other out. It's all about that experience."

The man, from Truro, died following the collision between a Toyota RAV4 and a Land Rover Defender on the A390 at Probus.
The emergency services were called to the crash at 11:00 GMT on Monday. The 65-year-old driver of the RAV4 suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.
The A390 was closed at Probus while police investigated the incident.

Their teeth contain DNA from the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis and their graves have been dated to 1348-50.
Records say thousands of Londoners perished and their corpses were dumped in a mass grave outside the City, but its exact location was a mystery.
Archaeologists now believe it is under Charterhouse Square near the Barbican.
They plan to expand their search for victims across the square - guided by underground radar scans, which have picked up signs of many more graves.
Crossrail's lead archaeologist Jay Carver says the find "solves a 660-year-old mystery".
"This discovery is a hugely important step forward in documenting and understanding Europe's most devastating pandemic," he said.
"Further excavations will follow to see if - as we expect - we are coming across a much bigger mass burial trench."
Between 1347 and 1351 the "Great Pestilence" swept westward across Europe killing millions of people. It later became known as the Black Death.
It arrived on Britain's shores in 1348 and is believed to have wiped out up to 60% of the population at the time.
In London, two emergency burial grounds were dug outside the walls of the City. One has been found at East Smithfield, while the other is known to lie somewhere in Farringdon.
In March 2013, Crossrail engineers uncovered 25 skeletons in a 5.5m-wide shaft - alongside pottery dated to the mid-14th Century.
Samples from 12 of the corpses were taken for forensic analysis. In at least four cases, scientists found traces of the DNA of the Yersinia pestis, confirming they had contact with the plague prior to their death.
To pinpoint which historical plague outbreak the "Charterhouse 25" could have fallen victim to, the researchers used radio carbon dating.
They determined the burial ground was used in at least two distinct periods - the earliest within the Black Death in 1348-50, followed by a later outbreak in the 1430s.
In a bid to understand just how far the grave extends across the square, Crossrail approached the University of Keele to undertake a forensic geophysics survey - using ground-penetrating radar.
The initial scan detected signs of further burials across Charterhouse Square and also the foundations of a building - possibly a chapel.
"We will undertake further excavations in Charterhouse Square later this year to confirm some of the results," said Mr Carver.
The skeletons provide a rare opportunity to study the medieval population of London, according to osteologist Don Walker, of the Museum of London Archaeology.
He said: "We can start to answer questions like: where did they come from and what were their lives like?
"I'm amazed how much you can learn about a person who died more than 600 years ago."
Analysis of the skeletons' bones and teeth indicates that:
Mr Carver said: "We can see from the people here that Londoners weren't living an easy life.
"The combination of a poor diet and generally a struggle means they were very susceptible to the plague at that time and that's possibly one of the explanations for why the Black Death was so devastating."
By sequencing the ancient bacterial DNA, researchers hope to understand how the plague has evolved and spread over the centuries.
Globally the infection still kills 2,000 people a year, including countries like Madagascar. Antibiotics are available, but if untreated the disease kills within four days.
Scientists hope to confirm whether the 14th Century strain was the grandmother of all plague that exists today.
The £14.8bn Crossrail project aims to establish a 118km-long (73-mile) rail link with 37 stations across London, and is due to open in 2018.
The excavations have already unearthed Roman skulls washed down a lost river, a Bronze-Age transport route, and the largest piece of amber ever found in the UK.
The latest announcement comes ahead of a Channel 4 documentary, Return of the Black Death: Secret History, on 6 April, which follows the Charterhouse Square discovery.
Milton Keynes police boss Supt Gez Chiariello is alleged to have breached standards in relation to authority, respect and courtesy.
The 46-year-old joined Thames Valley Police in 2007 and became the town's area commander in 2014. He has been suspended from duty with immediate effect.
Acting Supt Vince Grey has been appointed to fill his role.
A date is yet to be scheduled for the misconduct hearing.
Deputy Chief Constable John Campbell said: "Thames Valley Police's professional standards department is currently investigating allegations of misconduct into Supt Gez Chiariello.
"The facts will be heard by a panel, chaired by a legally qualified independent chairperson, who will determine if there is a case to answer for gross misconduct and if there is, the appropriate sanction to be applied."
Aribo set up three goals in Monday's 4-1 win over Bristol Rovers, adding to an assist against Southend on 31 December.
Robinson worked with Alli at previous club MK Dons before the 20-year-old moved to Tottenham Hotspur.
"Four assists in two games is incredible. I have seen it before with a very special talent who is working in north London now," he said.
Robinson handed Alli his Dons debut as a 16-year-old in November 2012, and the midfielder scored 24 goals in 88 appearances for the Buckinghamshire club before joining Spurs in the summer of 2015.
Aribo, 20, made his first-team debut for Charlton in October, and last month extended his contract with the Addicks until 2019.
"South-east London is a hotbed for talent and I do class myself as a developer," Robinson added to BBC Radio London.
"I spoke to the owner [Roland Duchatelet] after the game at Southend and he was really excited about Joe.
"My job is to keep that fire fuelled and this club moving forward."
Meanwhile, Robinson says he has taken Ademola Lookman "out of the firing line", with the winger linked with a move away from The Valley in the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old is on the brink of a £10m move to Everton and has missed the Addicks' last two matches.
"A deal has not been done," Robinson, 36, said.
"But there is so much talk surrounding the young man I can't see it being too long. There is no smoke without fire."
In its survey of more than 50,000 junior doctors, 43% said their daytime workload was "heavy" or "very heavy".
The GMC says time allocated for training must be protected so junior doctors can gain the experience and skills they need for their development.
Health ministers say improving support for training is a priority.
In the survey, many of the doctors training to be consultants and senior GPs said they frequently had to cope with problems beyond their expertise.
And those who complained of a heavy workload said they were three times more likely to leave a teaching session to deal with a clinical call.
Doctors working in specialties, including emergency medicine, acute internal and general internal medicine, respiratory medicine and gastroenterology, reported even higher workloads and said these had grown worse in the past five years.
About 13,000 - or one in four - reported feeling short of sleep on a regular basis.
Charlie Massey, chief executive of the GMC - which regulates the medical profession - said: "Medical training is so often a bellwether for the quality and safety of patient care, and patients are directly at risk if support and supervision of doctors in training is inadequate.
"We have clear standards about protecting doctors' training, and valuing trainers that we expect education bodies and providers to meet.
"Where our standards are not met, we can and we will take action."
Mr Massey later told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he agreed that there were a lot of pressures on the NHS but said "standards at the GMC have to be our standards whatever those pressures are".
He added: "It's really important employers design rotas to address fatigue, workload pressures and to ensure that trainee doctors are working within their competencies."
In England, NHS Employers said the new contract for junior doctors would help address many of the problems - a point some medics disagreed with in the report.
Meanwhile, the Department of Health in England said there were plans to improve training, including increasing senior support.
An official said: "The health secretary has announced plans to improve junior doctors' training, including more support from consultants, more notice of future placements, including where couples are placed, reviewing the appraisals process and investing £10m to bring doctors back up to speed when they take time out to have a family or other caring responsibilities."
In Scotland, officials said they would make use of the data from the survey to ensure training was excellent.
Prof Stewart Irvine, medical director of NHS Education for Scotland, said: "It helps us ensure that we provide doctors in training with the best possible experience, that we learn from areas where things are working well, and can take action to improve matters where training is not up to standard."
In Wales, a new education contract for junior doctors announced last month guarantees ring-fenced time for their learning every week.
Lyle Taylor opened the scoring a minute into the second half, netting his third goal in two games following an optimistic long ball by Ryan Sweeney.
Five minutes from time, substitute Ade Azeez added a second, tapping in from George Francomb's cross.
Mathew Stevens pulled one back for the Bees from close range, but Neal Ardley's side held on for the points.
Barnet manager Martin Allen told BBC Radio London:

"I don't think we really played as well as what we can do and as well as we have done here.
"This place has been a fantastic home for us, and I don't say it very often, I thought today they were better than us in far too many areas."
"We're used to this. We know how to play against the wind and the rain and it's very, very difficult to play here."
AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley told BBC Radio London:

"First half against the wind was always going to be about making sure we stayed strong.
"We played well, we defended well for most parts and it's a great away win.
"Let's just enjoy it, keep going and enjoy trying to chalk these points up on the board.
"If we don't, we're going to have had a good season anyway."
Twenty-three people in Lincoln have received more than one card, the city council confirmed.
It blamed the errors on people already on the electoral roll registering again online but with different details.
City of Lincoln Council said its electoral register has been amended. It has notified the Electoral Commission.
The council said, after a full search of its records, 23 duplicate names out of 66,000 voters on the register, were identified.
"Processes are in place to prevent dual voting and polling station staff would never issue any person with more than one vote per election," a spokesman said.
People could have used a shortened version of their name or added a middle name while registering via the internet despite already being on the electoral roll, the council suggested.
It has resulted in some people being sent more than one card containing different electoral numbers.
Other candidates are:
Voting more than once is illegal and could result in a fine of more than £5,000, according to the Electoral Commission.
Professor of public policy at the University of Lincoln, Hugh Bochel, said the potential for people being able to vote twice in a marginal seat like Lincoln could affect the outcome at the general election.
"If we know it's only 23, they can put safeguards in. If it were to get up to 50 or 60 it may become more of an issue," he said.
"This might suggest people might find some ways of using this for slightly nefarious ends."
He said the new system of individual registration, where each person is now required to register individually rather than by household, could be to blame.
The 35-year-old came on in the second half with England leading 5-0 thanks to Amy Cokayne's first-half try.
But France pounced on a loose ball to send Christelle le Duff clear to level.
Camille Grassineau's dangerous tackle late on saw her sent from the pitch and England capitalised to drive Marlie Packer over the line for a 10-5 win.
The try sealed a scrappy win at the Twickenham Stoop but the match will be remembered for Clarke's historic cap.
Speaking to BBC Sport on Facebook live Clarke - who was in tears during the national anthem - said reaching 114 caps was "amazing", adding: "Blood sweat and tears have gone into it.
"It's been such hard work over the last 13 years but every time you pull on that white shirt it makes such a difference to my life and I really want to keep doing it. It's been really tough but worthwhile. The World Cup coming up next year is my minimum but I want to keep going until they say I can't do it anymore."
The Worcester player calls Leonard her "idol" and she could surpass his mark when England play against Ireland in Dublin on Sunday - a match which does not form part of the autumn international series.
Simon Middleton's side will return to the competition against the world's number one side New Zealand at Twickenham on 19 November, before facing Canada, ranked second in the world, a week later.
The Red Roses are looking to build momentum before next year's World Cup in Ireland, where they will look to defend the title they claimed in 2014.
France, winners of this year's Six Nations, provided a stiff test and an England team boasting four players who competed at the 2016 Olympic Games at times looked disjointed.
They were hampered by multiple handling errors early on and were forced to defend doggedly after half-time but made their one-player advantage count when Packer crossed with three minutes to go.
England lock Abbie Scott told 5 live Sports Extra: "It's been the first time we've seen the sevens players brought in. It's been good to see how the dynamic works and it's exciting. England have shown tonight they have statements to make."
They have formed a housing cooperative in Oxford because they are "fed up" with rising rents and unaffordable housing.
The Kindling Housing Cooperative hopes to raise £10,000 from investors and top up the fund with donations from an online crowdfunding campaign.
It insists private investors who pledge £5,000 to help buy a property will see a return of up to 3%.
Figures last year showed house prices in Oxford were about 16 times the average earnings of people living in the city.
Oxford City Council warned the city was facing a "catastrophe" due to a lack of affordable housing.
The group, which has six members, wants to buy a house in the east of the city.
It hopes to create a secure and affordable housing model and build a network of housing co-ops in the city.
"Our model means we are in control of rents and we will ensure they are kept affordable," said member, Andrew Edwards, 31.
Fellow member Hannah Smith, 33, said the pressure brought by rent hikes forced her to look at alternatives.
"The agent I rent through is increasing our rent by £150 per month this year," she said.
"While rents are rising and house prices in the area shoot up, the co-op model seems like a way forward."
Professor Peter Kemp from the Blavatnik School of Government said the model was an "interesting idea", but did not deal with the underlying issues of unaffordable housing.
"It might work well provided the co-op's rules are well structured and the members can successfully find the investors to fund it," he said.
"By itself it won't tackle the underlying problem of insufficient new housing supply."
In the year to the end of March, the total number of crimes reported to police dropped by 3.2%.
There were 49 murders - down six on the previous 12 months, to the lowest figure recorded using modern methods.
But violent crime rose slightly and sexual crimes also increased - although police said many of these offences were historical.
The latest figures showed that there were 246,243 recorded crimes in Scotland during the year, with 127,126 crimes detected. The detection rate has risen from 50.6% to 51.6%.
Reductions in crimes of dishonesty accounted for a significant part of the overall fall, with drops in housebreaking, motor vehicle crime and thefts.
The figures showed that:
Deputy Chief Constable Iain Livingstone said police had committed "significant resources" to the investigation of historical cases of sexual abuse, domestic abuse and rape.
He added: "The overall reduction in recorded crime is to be welcomed - it means fewer victims of crime in our communities.
"There were fewer than 50 murders last year across the whole of the country, with major investigation teams working closely with local policing officers to detect those crimes and manage the impact in communities. The loss of any life is a tragedy and we will continue to do all we can to reduce violent crime."
The recorded crime statistics are published on a quarterly basis, with the latest figures covering the period between January and March this year.
They provide a snapshot of recorded crime over the full year from April 2015.
The Scottish government welcomed "the indication that total crime recorded by the police continues to fall".
A spokesman added: "We are committed to tackling all forms of violence across Scotland and we recognise that violence is a complex issue.
"That's why, in addition to enforcement, our focus is on prevention and early intervention, on tackling the causes not just the symptoms and since 2006-07, we have provided significant investment in violence reduction programmes including over £7m since 2008 in the National Violence Reduction Unit."
The Scottish Conservatives said there were a number of areas of concern within the statistics, with increases in attempted murder and assault with intent to rape.
The party's justice spokesman Douglas Ross said: "Any drop in overall crime has to be welcomed but the SNP shouldn't get too excited about patting itself on the back.
"Crimes of violence and sex crimes are all up while areas which the Scottish government is meant to be targeting like knife-possession and fraud are also on the rise.
Labour's justice spokeswoman, Claire Baker, said: "Whilst an overall reduction in crime is to be welcomed, it is important to look behind the headlines.
"It's concerning therefore, to see the first rise in violent crime in five years and a further increase in sexual crimes."
Greens justice spokesman John Finnie said: "There are still unacceptable levels of violence in our communities and a further 5% increase in crimes of violence is worrying."

Slovakia's Sagan, 26, beat 2011 champion Cavendish after a 257.5km (160 miles) race as Belgian Tom Boonen, who won the 2005 title, came third.
Cavendish had followed Sagan but his sprint was checked when he was caught behind Australia's Michael Matthews.
"I am just disappointed I messed up tactically," Cavendish told BBC Sport.
"I came with so much speed and power. I wanted to be on Peter's wheel. I knew the Norwegians would hit out early into the headwind and I knew Sagan would just get the right wheel and I could float off him.
"I told Adam (Blythe) to come with a few hundred metres to go and when he came alongside, it spread everyone and everyone jumped and I had nowhere to go.
"The hard thing was losing Luke Rowe to a puncture which would have given us three in the front and he would have been valuable at the end. I am just going to have to settle for another second this year."
Cavendish's podium finish rounds off a year that has seen the 31-year-old win four stages of the Tour de France, the madison track world title with Sir Bradley Wiggins and his first ever Olympic medal, with silver in the omnium.
Crosswinds in the desert split the peloton with 172km to go but Cavendish and fellow Briton Adam Blythe, who eventually finished 12th, managed to stay in the main group.
Fancied names caught out included German sprinters Marcel Kittel and Andre Greipel and France's Nacer Bouhanni, who could not close the gap and they knew their races were over a long way from the finish line.
Five Belgian riders, including Olympic champion Greg van Avermaet made it into the front group and they were able to dictate the tactics as they tried to set up Boonen for the win.
However, Sagan, who in July won the points jersey at the Tour de France for the fifth successive year, timed his sprint for the line to perfection.
"I don't believe it, I'm still in shock, " said Sagan. "I'm very happy because in the crosswinds I was the last to make it into the lead group.
"It felt a bit like a headwind at the finish so I had to go from a long way back in the sprint."

Richard Barklie, from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, and Joshua Parsons and William Simpson, both from Surrey, were banned for five years at Stratford Magistrates' Court.
Jordan Munday from Sidcup in Kent was banned for three years.
They were told they could not attend games at home or abroad.
District Judge Gareth Branston said: "Racist hatred was displayed by Chelsea fans on the Paris Metro that evening."
He told the court the incident had "tarnished the reputation of English football in Europe".
Violence flared when Chelsea fans were in the French capital to watch the west London club's Champions League match against Paris St Germain on 17 February.
Afterwards video surfaced showing Frenchman Souleymane Sylla pushed off the train amid chants of "we're racist and that's the way we like it".
The French commuter previously said the whole episode was "humiliating".
Barklie, 50, of Victoria Street in Carrickfergus, a director with the World Human Rights Forum, had admitted twice pushing Mr Sylla, but blamed the Parisian for using "aggression" and shouting.
The judge, however, said Barklie, a former policeman, "proved to be a menace" and had "demonstrated aggressive, disorderly conduct".
He said Parsons played a leading role too and displayed "aggressive and disorderly conduct as part of a pack of Chelsea fans".
It was heard Parsons later lost his job at a Mayfair financial company as a result of his involvement.
Another Chelsea supporter, Dean Callis, 32, of Liverpool Road, Islington, received a five-year banning order ahead of the court hearing for a number of incidents, including the one in Paris, Scotland Yard confirmed.
Police said the 45-year-old sustained life-threatening injuries in the crash, which happened on a bend of the A4095 near Radcot at 13:40 BST on Thursday.
It involved a Toyota MR2, whose driver was cut free by firefighters and taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, and a Ford van.
The male van driver sustained minor injuries and did not go to hospital.
Station Manager Graham Turner said two off-duty firefighters were passing the scene and helped provide medical assistance to the driver.
He said: "This was a very serious incident. There had been a huge impact between the two vehicles.
"The crews were under pressure to release the driver from one of the cars as a priority in order to get him the full medical treatment he needed.
"Fire crews worked extremely hard and managed to release him as quickly as possible."
The charity tried to launch a review four months ago after it emerged Devon and Cornwall police kept a seized dog called Stella caged without exercise for two years.
The force said the review could not start until a parliamentary inquiry into animal welfare was completed.
But the government said there was no reason the review should be delayed.

Devon and Cornwall Police said Stella was considered potentially dangerous and she was subsequently made the subject of a destruction order, but on appeal was freed from the death sentence. She has now been re-homed.
A campaign team which has fought Stella's case, made up of lawyers, independent experts and former kennel staff, said the force should 'hang their heads in shame'.
Neil Parish, Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton and member of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee, has pledged a parliamentary inquiry and called for a "uniform" country-wide policy for how police forces deal with seized dogs.
Stella's story
A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: "The Defra review supersedes the RSPCA review, therefore we will not be considering the RSPCA review until Defra publish the committee's findings.
"It is entirely reasonable for the police to wait to be informed of the outcome from the DEFRA Select Committee's inquiry before we embark on our own review with the RSPCA, as DEFRA have the power to make changes in the law that must be implemented, compared to the RSPCA who can only make recommendations."
The force submitted a report and written statements to the Defra's sub-committee inquiry in March.
The Defra sub-committee, which plans to publish its findings in the autumn, said: "Devon and Cornwall Police are able to carry on with their review".
A committee spokesman said: "Parliamentary inquiries do not prevent police forces conducting their own reviews or taking any other action."
The inquiry is looking at the animal welfare of domestic pets, which includes dogs, cats and horses.
An RSPCA spokesman said: "The RSPCA agreed to Devon and Cornwall Police's request to review the way in which dogs seized are cared for in kennels.
"Devon and Cornwall Police have since been asked to submit written evidence as part of the Animal Welfare and Domestic Pets inquiry, which is currently being heard by the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Sub-Committee.
"Until the sub-committee has reported back on its findings, Devon and Cornwall Police, and therefore the Alliance Dog Team, are unable to take part in any other reviews. This includes the RSPCA's assessment of the kennel management of seized dogs, which as a result is on hold.
"We remain happy to support them in their attempts to find the best way to provide for the animals in their care in any way we can."
Campaigners following Stella's case, made up of Wheldon Law, independent experts, and whistleblowers, said: "The police have a duty of care to these dogs and the kennels have a responsibility to ensure that their welfare needs are met.
"The local authority, which licences kennels, are supposed to ensure that they are properly run and the RSPCA should investigate any suspected offences diligently.
"All of them should hang their heads in shame."
Teignbridge District Council, the licensing authority for Foredowne Boarding Kennels, said the investigation remains active.
The 30-year-old had picked up two men and a woman in Hamilton Road, Cambuslang, and taken them to an address in Altyre Street at 02:00.
At the address one of the men produced a knife.
The taxi driver got out of the car, at which point a group of people came out of a property. They surrounded him before attacking him.
The group then went back inside the property.
The victim got back into his taxi and drove a short distance before stopping and calling an ambulance.
He was taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment to a stab wound. Medical staff have described his condition as stable.
The first male passenger is described as short, in his late 20's, of medium build and spoke with a Glasgow accent. The other male passenger also had a Glasgow accent.
Police described the female passenger as being about 5ft 4in and of slim build. They also said the trio were involved in the assault.
Det Insp Tom McKean said: "Why a group of people would target an innocent man in this brutal fashion is beyond me and we are currently working to establish the motive for this horrendous incident.
"This type of behaviour is disgraceful and simply will not be tolerated and our officers will do everything they can to find the people responsible for this despicable crime.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in Altyre Street or the surrounding area in the early hours of this morning, who may have witnessed a disturbance or saw anything suspicious, to get in touch."
It's one of those paradoxes of the 21st century, which was underlined this week by the Resolution Foundation.
The think tank - based in London, with a focus on jobs and income for low and middle-earners - had a right good go at the Scottish economy.
Its most interesting conclusion was that Scottish median income has passed that of the rest of the UK. I wrote last weekend about why that might be, and whether it's still true (to save you time: probably not).
The report showed that household income, since 2007, has increased slightly faster than in London. Only the East Midlands has seen faster growth.
But the general thrust of the analysis is that Scotland has closed quite a few gaps, not just on pay, but Gross Domestic Product, or total income per head.
It has closed the "jobs gap" - the dip in the employment rate below the pre-recession peak - though the think tank pointed out that it still has a way to go to catch up with England on unemployment and job creation, and that self-employment is much lower than in England.
On a measure of under-employment, at which Scotland was in a better position in 2008, the sharp rise and slower decline has left Scotland close to the UK average.
The proportion of people aged over 50 and still working has risen more steeply in Scotland, nearly matching the UK rate.
The churn of workers voluntarily leaving jobs to get employment elsewhere, has tracked that of England.
So Scotland is no longer an outlier. It is no longer England's poor relation. In some ways, it is more typical of the UK than any region of England - and most of all, London.
But in one area, there's a huge difference - housing.
We've heard quite a lot about housing in the past week.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) issued its measure of prices in the year to November. It found London and south-east England up by 9.8%, and Scotland up by 0.4%. It was far behind every region of England except the north-east.
The UK average, according to the ONS, was a rise of 7.7%, to reach an average price of £288,000.
The official register for England and Wales includes cash purchases of homes, and has a lower figure - house prices up by 6.4%, and a much average price.
The nearest comparison, from Registers of Scotland, covers the year to last September. Reflecting on actual transactions rather than surveys, it found prices falling 0.5%, and the average price at below £170,000.
Survey evidence looking ahead suggests the housing cost gap will keep growing this year, though things might slow up a bit.
BBC news online found estimates of the increase in UK prices during 2016 of between 2% and 6%.
RICS, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, reported this week that its members in Scotland reckon prices will rise this year, but they're far from being unanimous on that.
Comparing those expecting a rise with those foreseeing a fall, there was a 24% majority for higher prices. However, that does not tell us how much higher the surveyors expect them to be.
A more specific question put to RICS members at the UK level found an expectation of London prices rising at 5% per year in the next five years, and 4.5% across the whole UK.
That may look good if you're a home owner. But it brings the concern that those selling up and moving out of high-cost regions are able to inflate prices in lower-cost ones.
It's obviously much less appealing if you want to get on the property ladder. That has been made more difficult in recent years by tougher tests of mortgage applicants than before the financial crash.
Uncertainty about the market, slow wage inflation, higher deposits on mortgages, a fall in the number of new homes being built, along with graduate debt and rising private rents making it harder to save: they have all combined to build a significantly higher obstacle to home ownership.
That helps explain why the proportion of people living in their own homes has fallen. The Resolution Foundation report says it is down in Scotland from 47% to 38% since the start of last decade.
The proportion in the private rented sector has more than doubled, from 10% to 22%.
That is linked to the most significant point made in the Resolution report - about the link between home prices and earnings.
The report has compared the average house price with the average male earnings around the UK. It finds that average house costs 5.9 times more than earnings.
In London, it is 9.1 times higher. In Scotland, it is 4.1 times.
That is relatively good news for Scots. The share of income required to afford a home is much less, leaving more money for other things......with even hard-pressed Londoners more likely to put at least something aside.
In London two years ago, every local authority area had the average home-owner with a mortgage spending more than a third of net income on housing. In Scotland, none did.
In the private rented sector, all of London's local authority areas had average housing costs above a third of income. For south-east and the east of England, more than a quarter did. In Scotland, that was the case in only one local authority area (or 3%).
And while prices have been rising fast, and may continue to do so at that RICS estimate of 5% per year, no-one expects average wages to rise as fast. That ratio is set to increase.
It's no surprise, then, that Londoners are most concerned about what happens when interest rates on mortgages go up, as they must eventually.
According to a Bank of England survey last year, a third of UK home-owners with mortgages are concerned about their household finances when that happens.
In London and the West Midlands, it was 37%. Scotland had the lowest level of concern, at 27%.
That puts the pre-Holyrood election debate about Scotland's housing "crisis" into some context.
Demographics point to more demand for homes, and pressure for house-building if prices are not to go up fast. But for now, from the household finance point of view, it is much less of a concern than for the southern neighbours.
Viewed from London, where monetary policy is set, the pressure from house prices is intense. The push for more house-building is a higher priority. And the risk of another price bubble is rising.
David McMillan drilled home low into the corner from 10 yards out in the third minute to give Dundalk the lead.
The hosts were reduced to 10 men in the 55th minute when Chris Shields was sent-off for a second yellow card.
Barry McNamee hammered in the equaliser on 67 minutes after Rory Patterson's low effort cannoned off the post.
Harry Monaghan had made the original break and picked out striker Patterson.
The league champions had a good chance to clinch all three points three minutes from the end but Stephen O'Donnell's brilliant header was superbly saved by Ger Doherty.
The Candystripes remain unbeaten in five league fixtures, having won their previous four matches prior to this game.
Kenny Shiels's side will entertain Shamrock Rovers at the Brandywell in their next league outing on Friday 8 April.
The six-year-old won four races at Group One level, including the King George VI Stakes at Ascot and the Coronation Cup at Epsom.
He was trained first by Luca Cumani and more recently by Roger Varian.
Varian said he was "very grateful to Postponed for proving such a willing and talented ally".
BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
As well as being amongst Flat racing's major talents, Postponed was also central to one of its most surprising controversies.
Soon after success in a thrilling King George in 2015, the horse was switched - for many, inexplicably - from trainer Luca Cumani by owner Sheikh Obaid al Maktoum.
Still ridden by jockey Andrea Atzeni, with whom the horse won all his major prizes, he continued to thrive with new trainer Roger Varian in the spring and summer of 2016, but had no more wins after York in August.
Varian has called him "magnificent" and there's no argument with that.
The We Are The Reality Party fought three seats at the 2015 general election, with Bez gaining 703 votes in Salford and Eccles.
But the Electoral Commission said it failed to submit spending records and Bez - who is also party treasurer - ignored demands to pay an earlier fine.
The treasurer of a party formed by late union boss Bob Crow was also fined.
Bez, a former Celebrity Big Brother winner who found chart fame as a maraca-shaking dancer with the Happy Mondays in the 1990s, was in trouble with the Electoral Commission before he had even officially launched his party in January last year.
He was forced to change its name after the watchdog ruled it sounded too similar to another group, The Realists' Party.
The rechristened We Are The Reality Party, which campaigned against fracking and austerity, is now under fire for failing to submit a campaign expenditure report and other paperwork required by law, including quarterly donations and loans reports.
In a statement, the Electoral Commission acknowledged Bez's party was "relatively small and does not have substantial resources".
But it added: "Despite the Commission's ongoing efforts to engage with the party it continues to fail to meet its statutory requirements. The level of the fine reflects this."
In a separate move, the treasurer of No2EU Yes to Democracy, Mary Bryce, has been fined £3,750 for non-compliance.
The now defunct party was set up by Bob Crow's RMT union, with backing from the Communist Party of Britain among others, to fight the 2009 European elections on an anti-EU, pro-workers rights platform.
It de-registered in 2010 when activists drifted away but was brought back for the 2014 European elections, when it fielded 46 candidates, including Mr Crow, who died of a heart attack two months before polling day.
The party was wound up again in October 2014 - but its treasurer failed to deliver a spending report for the 2014 election, despite appearing to "spend a substantial sum" and delivered donations and loans reports late, the Electoral Commission said.
The commission said it had chosen to fine the treasurer rather than the party because of the lack of co-operation specifically by the treasurer.
An initial fine of £3,000 has been increased to £3,750 and will go up to £4,500 if the fine is not paid by 31 March, it added.
Louise Edwards, Head of Regulatory Compliance and Casework at the Electoral Commission, said: "Transparency around party spending does not become less important because a party ceases to be registered.
"It remains the treasurer's legal responsibility to ensure all required reports have been delivered to the Commission.
"Despite our efforts, NO2EU's spending almost two years ago at the European Parliament Elections still remains unknown as a result of this lack of co-operation."
Stakeknife, named in the media in 2003 as Belfast man Freddie Scappaticci, was alleged to have infiltrated the IRA but has also been implicated in 50 murders.
He denies all the allegations.
The six international experts include senior police officers from the US, Scotland, an Australian ex-officer and ex-NI police ombudsman Nuala O'Loan.
They have been asked to "provide a layer of critical scrutiny" to the complex Stakeknife investigation, known as Operation Kenova.
It is to examine possible crimes by paramilitaries, agents and Army and police handlers linked to the man who was alleged to have been the Army's highest-ranking spy within the IRA.
In addition to the policing experts, a second of team of six victims' representatives has been appointed to address the needs of Stakenife's alleged victims and their families.
Due to the allegations of misconduct by members of the security forces, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) asked for the investigation to be conducted externally.
Operation Kenova is now being led by the Chief Constable of Bedfordshire Police, Jon Boutcher, who was appointed in June.
Under the terms and reference of the investigation, which were published on Friday, Mr Boutcher will "have the full delegated authority" of the PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton to direct the operation.
The terms prohibit anyone who currently or has previously served in the PSNI, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), the Ministry of Defence or the UK security services from joining the investigation team.
However, the PSN will still be "responsible for financial support to all elements of the investigation".
If the investigation team finds evidence of wrongdoing on the part of former or current police officers, they will refer it to the PSNI chief constable, who in turn report the matter to the Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland.
The scheme includes shops, 350,000 sq m of offices, a hotel and 2,000 homes around the Curzon station site.
Birmingham City Council said the plans were dependent on HS2 being approved.
Curzon would serve as a hub linking phase one from London to Birmingham with phase two towards Leeds and Manchester.
The government's HS2 bill is expected to be debated in Parliament next month, although a completion date of 2026 has been mooted for the first phase of the scheme.
Source: Birmingham City Council
Birmingham City Council said its 25-year masterplan for the area around Curzon Street was entirely dependent on HS2 being given the go ahead.
However, council leader Sir Albert Bore said: "We're not waiting around for HS2 to get built before we get started - we're announcing our plans today, and we're ready to start building as soon as the new railway gets the green light."
Waheed Nazir, director for planning and regeneration, said the proposed development would see Digbeth and the Eastside area around Millennium Point revamped to "welcome" people into the city.
He also revealed plans for a station square in front of Curzon Street, which would lead people towards the city centre.
Currently much of the area is waste ground stretching from the remains of the old Curzon Street station, although a new park was recently opened between the station site and the city centre.
Mr Nazir said: "If we did nothing, people would come in on HS2 and what they would see... we don't think that's something they would want to see."
The council plans include a further extension to the Midland Metro, to run trams directly through the Curzon station into the city centre.
Sir Albert said the council had also negotiated with HS2 Ltd to free up part of a site in Washwood Heath, earmarked for an HS2 maintenance depot, which would also serve as a building yard during the construction of the rail line.
The council said it would be putting forward plans for the area, which has high unemployment levels.
However, the plans have been questioned by Prof David Bailey, from Aston Business School, who called for a greater emphasis on manufacturing in the city rather than more retail.
He said Birmingham had seen a lot of new shops in recent years, with more in the pipeline, and questioned the benefit of building further retail space.
"I'm a lot less confident of retail as a driver of economic benefit in the city," he said.
"But even so, the real benefits of HS2 are only going to come if we can improve the regional transport network in the West Midlands."
Bouabre created many of his hundreds of small drawings while working as a clerk in various government offices.
He also created an alphabet of pictograms to transcribe the oral traditions of his people, the Betes.
In the last 25 years his work has been exhibited at several of the world's most important art galleries and museums.
His work was displayed at last year's Venice Biennale, both at the international exhibition, called The Encyclopaedic Palace, and at the Ivory Coast pavilion.
"Bouabre is himself a kind of builder of encyclopaedias because his personal work consists in inventing a specific African alphabet," the Ivorian curator and art critic Yacouba Konate told the BBC at the time.
"He thinks it's easier for an African to learn, to get new knowledge, when he works inside an African writing system, an African language."
Mr Konate said Bouabre also documented the scarification on people's faces in various West African countries.
According to the Venice Biennale organisers, Bouabre worked as a civil servant until 1948, when he had a vision after which he dedicated himself to art.
Jonathan Watkins, from the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham and curator of a recent an exhibition of Bouabre's in Seoul, said during the vision he saw different coloured circles in the sky.
"It lead him to the conclusion that he was put on earth as a kind of prophetic character. He called himself 'Cheikh Nadro'.... 'the one who never forgets,'" he told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme.
His visual alphabet language was portrayed on more than 400 small cards using ballpoint pens and crayons, with symbolic imagery surrounded by text.
John O'Sullivan lifted the visitors into an early advantage while Reggie Lambe struck after the interval to ensure a miserable afternoon for the Glovers in which their midfielder Ben Whitfield was also shown a straight red card.
Keith Curle's men, who had lost six of their previous seven games, move back into the play-off places as a result of Blackpool's defeat at Luton.
O'Sullivan broke a goal drought for Carlisle that had stretched to 701 minutes at the point he found the net in the 16th minute, heading a quickly taken Danny Grainger free-kick past Artur Krysiak.
The hosts struggled to respond, not creating any chances of note until just before half-time as Tom Eaves nodded a cross just wide.
Yeovil's task was made even harder on 53 minutes when Whitfield appeared to elbow Tom Miller and referee Trevor Kettle immediately sent off the Bournemouth loanee.
The Cumbrians wasted no time in making their one-man advantage count as Lambe was played in behind in the 55th minute and although Krysiak saved the winger's first effort, he turned it in at the second attempt.

But there has been a small recompense (with the emphasis on small).
Monies coming back from financial institutions in the form of fines from the regulator have rocketed in recent years, with almost £500m handed out in penalties by the Financial Conduct Authority - and the Financial Services Authority before it - this year alone.
This compares with just £5m in 2007, the year before the financial crisis really took hold.
Dodgy dealings within the City are the main reason for the dramatic increase.
This year the regulator has penalised Rabobank and Royal Bank of Scotland to the tune of £193m for attempting to rig Libor - the crucial interbank lending rate that is a key benchmark for interest rates across the economy.
In 2012, Libor fines from UBS and Barclays totalled £220m.
The regulator also fined JP Morgan £138m this year for the so-called London Whale scandal, for failing to control a single trader who wracked up huge losses on derivative plays.
But it's not just shady goings-on at banks that have contributed directly to the surge in fines.
The regulator has ploughed greater resources into a new enforcement division, where dedicated staff are more willing to unearth misconduct - as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) itself says, "basically a tougher, more focused and resourced regulator."
But where does all this money actually go?
All firms regulated by the FCA have to pay a membership fee to cover the regulator's costs. Prior to April 2012, the money collected by the FSA went towards reducing these fees, quite substantially so in some years.
In effect, then, financial institutions fined by the regulator benefited from lower membership fees, although given that the FCA regulates about 26,000 firms, the numbers involved are pretty small.
Since April 2012, however, the money collected from fines has gone straight to the Treasury. Last tax year, after "enforcement fees" of £40m, the government received £341m in fines from financial institutions - not a significant sum relative to the government's total receipts of about £600bn, but a not insignificant bonus none the less.
This tax year, the total will be higher still.
The money goes into what is called the consolidated fund, which is effectively the government's current account for general expenditure.
But the Treasury has stated specifically that it intends to give money collected in Libor-related fines so far to military charities. In October, the government announced it would pay £35m to the armed forces community .
Among the recipients are Help for Heroes - which will receive £2.7m to support veterans suffering from mental health issues - the Royal Marines Families and Veterans Centre in Dorset, which is getting £2.3m, and Army Play, which was awarded £1.5m.
The government has also committed to transfer £10m a year from Libor fines "in perpetuity" to armed-forces charities.
And in the recent Autumn Statement, the chancellor announced that a further £100m of Libor-related funds would go not only to "our brilliant military charities" but "to extend support to those who care for the work of our police, fire and ambulance services".
However, the Treasury has given no indication of what the money will be spent on in future years.
It may well get swallowed up in general government expenditure but, for now at least, the money collected from bankers' dodgy practices is being put to good use.

The 23-year-old left the field during the first half of the Dragons' defeat by Ospreys on New Year's Day.
"Dorian has had a pectoral injury, which looks quite serious," said Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones.
"It could be a few months, which is a blow to us because he's right on top of his game, starting to challenge for national honours behind Dan Biggar."
Scrum-half Sarel Pretorius was also forced off at the Liberty Stadium with a recurrence of a calf injury.
But the Dragons will welcome back Hallam Amos and Tyler Morgan later this month.
The Wales internationals have not played since suffering shoulder injuries during the World Cup but at least one could be fit in time for the crucial European Challenge Cup ties at home to Castres on 15 January.

"They are big-time players who can offer something different," added Dragons boss Jones.
"There's a good chance one of them will be back [to face Castres], which one I'm not sure.
"They've made really good progress and the medical department need to be congratulated for getting them back with such speed.
"They've recovered very well and we expected both of them to be playing some part in the European competition shortly." | A proposal will be put forward to all National League member clubs to change to six-team play-offs at the Annual General Meeting on 10 June.

Royal Tank Regiment corporals Matthew Hatfield, 27, from Wiltshire, and Darren Neilson, 31, from Lancashire, died when an ammunition round exploded as they were in a tank at Castlemartin Range on 14 June.
One other soldier remains in a serious condition in hospital.
The MoD, Dyfed-Powys Police and Health and Safety Executive are investigating.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of all those killed and injured in this terrible incident."
Speaking after their deaths, Lt Col Simon Ridgway, Commanding Officer of The Royal Tank Regiment, said Cpl Hatfield and Cpl Neilson were "exceptionally talented soldiers who loved what they did".
"The regiment has lost two real characters and feels truly honoured to have served with them. They will both be sorely missed," he added.
The MoD suspended tank live firing exercises as a precaution following the incident until the outcome of the investigation is known.
This applies to all British military, wherever they are in the world.
The 1st and 2nd Royal Tank Regiments merged in August 2014 to form The Royal Tank Regiment, which is based in Tidworth, Wiltshire.
The Army's website said the regiment was "preparing for a live fire exercise at Castlemartin in Wales", which was scheduled to take place at the range between Monday and Friday last week.
In May 2012, Ranger Michael Maguire died during a live firing exercise at the training base. An inquest later found he was unlawfully killed.
Arter, 25, and his partner lost their child at birth in midweek.
Despite his loss, Arter played for 86 minutes as the Cherries added to last Saturday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.
"I just felt coming in and trying to take my mind off things would make it a bit easier. My family would want me to play," Arter told the club website.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Republic of Ireland international Arter was close to tears after being booked after 84 minutes, and was substituted two minutes later before being embraced by his manager Eddie Howe at the full-time whistle.
Howe said the player "handled himself with real dignity throughout the process".
"While people maybe grieve in their own way, I found it easier to come in and play and try and do everyone proud," Arter said.
"I said before the game that one reason I wanted to play was to dedicate the game to everyone associated with my family - my family that are here and not here."
Arter also paid tribute to his team-mates and staff at AFC Bournemouth.
"The support of everyone at the club is why I felt like I wanted to play as well," he said.
"They have been unbelievable for me this week and made things a tad easier. I am sure my partner at home will be really proud too. It's a game that we can look back on with a lot of pride."
Up to 20 members of the playing squad are suffering with a stomach complaint.
Thursday's training session was cancelled, but Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac is hopeful the majority of the stricken will recover for kick-off.
"We're hoping a lot of those who come tomorrow (Friday) morning will be feeling a lot better," said Pivac.
"We've rearranged our day tomorrow to compensate for that and we'll have a bit of a walk-through in the afternoon, and then another walk-through on game day. It's not ideal."
The former Fiji coach says he has never experienced such a large number of players being ill at the same time.
"It's a first for me, but these things happen and nothing surprises you as a coach when you've been around a while," said the New Zealander.
"You've always got to have a Plan B and a Plan C, and that's why we have the larger squads."
Scarlets may have to draft in players from lower-tier feeder teams.
However, two Welsh Premiership clubs that Scarlets have close ties with are involved in Swalec Cup semi-finals on Saturday, with Carmarthen Quins hosting Cross Keys and Llandovery at Pontypridd.
Pivac's men have been in the top four all season, but face a stern challenge from defending champions Glasgow, who have won seven in a row and overtook the Scarlets in third place last weekend.
Wyke College, in Hull, was closed after receiving a threatening email on Friday morning.
Humberside Police sent officers to the school but later said on Twitter the threat was thought to be "one of a number of hoax emails sent to educational facilities worldwide".
Details of other sites targeted have not been released.
The force said the college had been closed as a "precautionary measure" while an investigation takes place.
The spokesperson said: "It is not thought that there is a threat to the safety of the staff, students or public, however Humberside Police officers have been deployed to the location to provide reassurance and complete an investigation into the threats received."
College principal Jay Trivedy said: "There was an email that was sent to our offices this morning and the email indicated that there was a security issue.
"Obviously our students and our staff are our top concern and and what we've done is make the decision to close the college today."
However, he said he was "disappointed and angry" at the disturbance to student.
"It's very sad that something like this can disrupt so many individuals and their work," he said.
The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment and the Department of Health and Social Services would get more money next year under the proposals.
The biggest losers would be the Departments of Culture, Arts and Leisure; Employment and Learning; and Environment.
Each is facing budget reductions of almost 13%.
Employment Minister Stephen Farry said the impact of the proposed cut to his department would be "severe".
He said it would amount to a "four figure reduction" in places in each of the Northern Ireland universities under the current proposals and "many thousands of places being lost within further education".
"It will seriously limit our ability to invest in skills, that is the key driver of the transformation of our economy," he added.
"We will see cuts in the number of university places, we will see reductions in terms of what we can offer through further education.
"That will mean restricted life opportunities for young people."
Mr Hamilton has said next year's budget is "the most challenging task this executive has ever faced".
He has suggested the Department of Health receives an additional £200m for front line services. However, other areas within the department's responsibilities, such as the Fire Service, would be subject to cuts.
Sinn Féin has said it will have further discussions on the budget paper circulated by the finance minister.
The paper includes proposals to reduce the size of the public sector wage bill, through a voluntary redundancy scheme and "pay constraint".
Overall, the budget, if agreed by Sinn Féin, would see the health budget increase by 3% and the enterprise budget by 5%.
However, education would see a 1% cut.
On Monday, Mr Hamilton said he felt education should no longer be protected from cuts.
If next year's draft budget is not agreed by Friday, Stormont will lose out on a £100m loan from the Treasury.
Sinn Féin said the executive is facing "very difficult decisions".
A spokesman for the party said "the Tory cuts to public services" were an "ideologically driven assault on the welfare state" and were at the heart of the financial crisis the Northern Ireland Executive is facing.
However, despite the reduced funding, he said the party would continue to work to reach an agreement on a budget "which defends core public services, particularly health and education".
Earlier, Mr Hamilton said he believed the education budget could no longer be protected from cuts.
The education ministry is held by Sinn Féin, but ,so far, the party has given no indication it is prepared to accept the proposals contained in Mr Hamilton's paper.
Without agreement between Sinn Féin and the Democratic Unionist Party the budget could not be passed.
Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers has said the job of resolving budget questions would be taken from the Stormont parties, unless they agree a draft budget by the end of the month.
Ms Villiers said that while there was some flexibility in the process of consultation, it was crucial the parties stuck to the timetable.
Khaled El Azibi, Ibrahim Naji El Maarfi and Mohammed Abdalsalam fled Bassingbourn Barracks and carried out the attacks last October.
Cambridgeshire Police said the men have been released from prison and were at secure immigration units.
A lawyer for one of their three victims said the woman was "dismayed".
Solicitor Richard Scorer said: "It's difficult enough to recover from a situation where you're set upon by a stranger and sexually assaulted.
"But if you have to do that in the knowledge that that person has now come to this country and is trying to build a life here, I think that is very, very, very difficult to deal with, and completely wrong and unacceptable.
"I think it's a breach of their human rights and really we can't allow this to happen".
The cadets, who were among 300 being trained to support the newly-formed Libyan government, stole bicycles and rode into Cambridge city centre on 25 October.
During the early hours of the next day they were involved in attacks on three teenagers near Corn Exchange Street.
They each received sentences of between 10 and 12 months and have since been released from prison.
Two other cadets were convicted of raping a man in the city on the same night and were jailed for 12 years.
The grounds for El Azibi, El Maarfi and Abdalsalam claiming asylum have not been revealed.
But immigration experts have told the BBC they could claim they were being persecuted in their home country, or there is now a "fear of persecution" for bringing Libya into disrepute as a result of their criminal convictions in the UK.
The attacks led to the UK government cancelling the training and sending the troops back to Libya.
At the time it was revealed a "very small handful" of Libyan soldiers had claimed asylum, with Prime Minister David Cameron telling MPs that no soldiers should be allowed to stay in the country.
Daniel Zeichner, Labour MP for Cambridge, said: "Most people would be astonished that people who committed sex crimes be rewarded for it. It's a pretty bitter blow to those who have suffered pretty horrible attacks."
However, he added that "everyone has the right to be treated the proper way" and blamed the Conservative government and Ministry of Defence for the "appalling mess" that led to the attacks taking place.
The Conservative MP for South Cambridgeshire, Heidi Allen, has been contacted for comment.
The Home Office, which does not comment on individual cases, said: "Those who break our laws should be removed from the country at the earliest opportunity and we will seek to remove any foreign national offender who receives a custodial sentence for a criminal offence."
But was the episode concocted to generate maximum publicity for the group's controversial views? Did a master troll take the media and politicians for a ride?
Daryush "Roosh V" Valizadeh, the founder of Return of Kings (ROK), openly and unashamedly courts outrage.
"There is nothing the media can do anymore to hurt me, and even if they paint me as a baby murderer, I will still gain readers because of it," he wrote after a BBC documentary was critical of his ideas.
"As long as my name exits the mouth of my enemies, I win, and I will continue to win."
Roosh V cancels 'Return of Kings' events
By that criterion, Roosh V was well and truly a winner this week.
Opposition to ROK's proposal to hold a men's "social happy hour" in cities around the world on Saturday started with a petition in Australia that quickly gathered thousands of signatures.
Valizadeh's reaction was to announce on Twitter that he had booked a trip to Australia.
A storm of media outrage followed, prompting Australia's Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to request an urgent briefing and foreshadow denying the 36-year-old American blogger a visa.
"I will sneak into your country, hold my meetings, laugh, and then slip out. Your gay authorities won't stop me," Valizadeh wrote in response. He baited female journalists with sexual requests and claimed he would enter Australia by boat.
But he had never applied for a visa and the "ticket" he posted to Twitter of his planned trip was an itinerary screen grab that could be generated without booking a trip.
In fact, Return of Kings' anti-feminist position is so extreme that some commentators believe it is a "troll" group that exists solely for the purpose of upsetting people.
The site feature such headlines as "The myth of date rape drink spiking", "How to turn a feminist into your sex slave" and "How to convince a girl to get an abortion".
The group's community beliefs state that "a woman's value significantly depends on her fertility and beauty", whereas "a man's value significantly depends on his resources, intellect and character".
Return of Kings' leaders say their campaign is sincere, but they don't deny setting out to provoke strong reactions from the feminists, gay rights campaigners and their other perceived enemies.
"We write our ideas in a way that draws attention to our work and entertains our audience, because we believe our perspective has value and is worth spreading. Do not confuse provocative art with trolling," writes one contributor to the site.
Australian cybercrime expert and former police officer Susan McLean agreed that the group's actions did not constitute trolling in the "classic" sense.
"Trolling usually involves groups or individuals that would concentrate on one person and hammer them online, as opposed to threatening to stick it to them at the local pub," Ms McLean said.
"But it certainly is a misuse of technology, [using] threats and harassment to cause upset among us here in Australia."
Ms McLean said she believed Valizadeh's targeting of Australia was considered, given the climate of increased awareness towards abuse against women and the debate on free speech.
Domestic violence and women's issues have been hot-button topics in Australia, driven by 2015 Australian of the Year Rosie Batty's advocacy on the issue.
"His views grate against those that are held by Australian civilised society and he's using that as a springboard, knowing full well he'll create a media frenzy, angst and anger," she said.
Australia has in recent years refused to issue visas to a number of people whose views were considered out of step with community standards.
Rapper Tyler the Creator and pick-up artist Julien Blanc were both refused entry to the country after campaigns accused them of promoting misogyny.
Simon Breheny, director of the Legal Rights Project at the Institute of Public Affairs, said this had prompted strong debate about the limits of free speech and whether Australia's laws went too far in restricting that right.
"These cases have given the individuals concerned a very high degree of prominence in the media and so it's seen as a bit of a tactic they can use to get a lot of free exposure," Mr Breheny said.
As outrage spread from Australia to the UK, US, Canada and elsewhere, Roosh and ROK remained defiant, attempting to move their meet-ups to private forums.
"Since this meetup was never intended as a confrontation with unattractive women and their enablers, I'm moving to save as many of these meetups as I can before Saturday," he wrote on the ROK website on Wednesday.
In the UK, a Scottish National Party MP urged the home secretary to block Roosh from attending events in Scotland or England, although there was no indication that he was planning to do so.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson also weighed in, tweeting that "your pro-rape, misogynistic, homophobic garbage is not welcome".
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi and a host of other politicians voiced similar sentiments.
On Thursday Valizadeh announced he was cancelling the meet-ups because he could not "guarantee the safety or privacy of men who want to attend".
It was a victory of sorts for ROK's opponents. But the name Roosh V is far better known than it was at the start of the week. The ROK website doubled its usual traffic to 82,000 unique users on 1 February.
On Thursday, Valizadeh tweeted: "I'm currently more popular than Jeb Bush … lol." It seems likely that Valizadeh got exactly what he was looking for.
The Perth-based firm put the dramatic decline in profits down to the global fall in oil prices. In 2015, Brent crude prices fell more than 45%.
Woodside's net income came to $26m (£18.18m) from $2.41bn a year earlier.
However, the firm's chief executive said it would be able to withstand the current oil price landscape.
"Woodside, with its low cost of production, is well positioned to withstand this commodity cycle," chief executive Peter Coleman said.
"A strong performance from our operating assets, disciplined financial management and productivity gains reflect our ongoing commitment to delivering value for our shareholders."
He added that the company had maintained strong levels of liquidity and low levels of committed capital expenditure.
Woodside's Sydney-listed shares finished the day down 7% on the profit report. Over the last 12 months, the firm's shares have shed close to 22%.
Woodside has a long history of liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations and concentrates much of its domestic production in Western Australia.
Its exploration operations span the Asia Pacific region, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Atlantic margins and Latin America.
The company has a Singapore office that supports its trade and shipping activities as well as interests in Canada and Timor-Leste.
Five viewers complained after former police minister Nick Herbert used the swear word while quoting another guest.
Presenter Jo Coburn interrupted Mr Herbert and offered a full apology at the end of the show, which was broadcast at midday on 22 May.
Ofcom will investigate whether the BBC breached broadcasting standards.
During the programme, Mr Herbert had been asked whether police would react badly to a recent speech made by Home Secretary Teresa May.
In his response, he quoted a disparaging remark which he claimed fellow guest and former policeman Peter Kirkham had made on Twitter about Mrs May.
'Slip-ups'
Coburn interrupted the politician, telling him "we won't have any more of that" and cautioned him to speak "without repeating any of those expletives".
Mr Herbert later defended his actions, saying he had used the term "disapprovingly".
In addition to the presenter's on-air apology, the BBC also issued a formal apology saying: "Daily Politics is a live programme and, as with any live broadcast, occasionally slip-ups may happen.
"We apologised to viewers for any offence caused."
Ofcom has an obligation under the broadcasting code to investigate cases which might cause potential harm or offence.
An investigation does not necessarily mean the broadcaster involved has done anything wrong and not all investigations result in breaches of the broadcasting code.

The Argentina Football Association confirmed the 28-year-old picked up the injury during City's 3-1 Premier League win over West Ham on Sunday.
No timescale has been given for his return, with Aguero potentially facing FA charges for elbowing Hammers defender Winston Reid.
Argentina play Uruguay on Friday, before facing Venezuela on 7 September.
Lionel Messi has also been training with Argentina after reversing his retirement decision, which was made at the start of August.
However, the 29-year-old Barcelona man has suffered a hamstring injury ahead of travelling to South America and whether he plays "will depend on how the injury develops", according to his club.
Argentina are currently third in the qualifying table after winning three of their six games.
Father Michael Higginbottom was found guilty of the "cruel and sadistic" abuse of a teenage boy at St Joseph's College in Upholland, Lancashire.
He was convicted at Liverpool Crown Court of four counts each of a serious sexual offence and indecent assault.
The 74-year-old, of West Farm Road, Newcastle, was jailed for 17 years.
The court heard the victim, now in his 50s, was aged between 13 and 14 at the time of the abuse, which began about a week after arriving at the school.
He said he was locked in Higginbottom's living quarters and ordered to undress before being sexually assaulted.
The victim said he would be hit with a strap if he did not go to the physics teacher's quarters at allocated times.
In a statement read to the court, he said: "My sexual abuse happened so often I became numb to what was happening to me.
"I cried so often I believe I could have drowned in my own tears."
He said he used to pray that he would die to escape the abuse.
"There are worse things than death - living with an evil man and being left alone at Upholland," he said.
Higginbottom denied ever sexually abusing a boy in his care.
The court heard Higginbottom would give electric shocks to pupils as a punishment.
Sentencing, Judge Andrew Menary QC said: "For a period of six months in the late 1970s you made a young boy's life a living hell.
"What you did to him there effectively destroyed the remainder of his childhood and did a good job of destroying any faith he ever had."
He added: "You employed methods which today, if not then, would be recognised for what they were - cruel and sadistic bullying."
During the trial, the court heard previous allegations had been made against Higginbottom in 2007 by another former pupil and the Catholic Church had settled out of court for £35,000.
Police had investigated the claims and, although Higginbottom had been charged, no evidence against him was offered in court and not guilty verdicts were entered.
St Joseph's College, in Upholland, which has now closed, was attended by boys aged 11 to 18, many of whom were considering becoming priests.
The court heard the victim also made allegations against two other priests at the school, but both had since died.
Higginbottom was told he would have to sign the sex offenders register for life.
The USAF announced last year that it would be pulling out of RAF Mildenhall, RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth by 2020-23.
The three bases are among 12 sites the MOD said it could sell for an estimated £500m.
The MOD said the 12 sites would provide land for 15,000 homes.
Source: MOD
Mark Lancaster, defence minister, told the House of Commons more detailed plans for each site would be released later this year.
He said: "Defence has the strongest incentive to become more efficient with every pound we make by disposing of excess land reinvested into a defence budget that keeps Britain safe.
"Every acre that we can free up will ensure more people have the opportunity to own their own home."
The USAF calculated the closure of RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk, coupled with changes at neighbouring RAF Lakenheath, would see the loss of 2,900 local jobs.
After last year's announcement by the USAF, the Mildenhall, Alconbury and Molesworth (MAM) Working Group was formed by local councils and business groups to look at future uses for the bases.
Matthew Hancock, Conservative MP for West Suffolk and chairman of MAM, said: "This early decision by the government on the future of RAF Mildenhall is very good news and I am pleased there is a clear plan of action.
"Of course those affected and working on the base need to be supported through these changes and I will ensure this happens."
Alconbury and Molesworth provide about 1,500 civilian jobs.
Jason Abelwhite, Conservative leader of Huntingdonshire District Council, said: "In terms of civilian jobs, it is some years away, so we've got plenty of time to think about it.
"Alconbury is in a growth area near Huntingdon, so that element doesn't present us with a great problem, but Molesworth would be a stand-alone, middle-of-nowhere, development which could bring huge, huge challenges."
Hundreds of residents and relatives of those on board lit candles and observed a minute's silence for the victims.
Flight QZ8501, carrying 162 people from Surabaya to Singapore, disappeared on Sunday. Debris from the flight was located in the sea on Tuesday.
Seven bodies have been retrieved, but weather conditions have hindered further salvage efforts.
There were 137 adult passengers, 17 children and one infant, along with two pilots and five crew, on the plane.
The majority of those on board were Indonesians.
Hundreds of people, including young children, turned out to the vigil in Surabaya on Wednesday evening.
Surabaya's Mayor Tri Rismaharini said: "Let us pray for the grieving families of those on board the plane. Let us pray this will be the last tragedy for Surabaya."
All New Year's Eve celebrations in East Java province were cancelled.
In Jakarta, the capital, residents began new year festivities with a prayer for the victims. A number of other cities cancelled or scaled down their new year celebrations.
Earlier on Wednesday, the first two bodies from the crash were flown back to Surabaya. The bodies were in coffins numbered 001 and 002, as they had not yet been identified.
The other five bodies are reportedly on board a ship headed to a harbour near the town of Pangkalan Bun in the Indonesian part of Borneo.
Four of the seven bodies are male and three female, one of them a flight attendant.
Family members of those on the flight have been asked for DNA samples to help identify the victims.
It is not yet clear what happened to the plane but its last communication was a request to air traffic control to fly higher to avoid bad weather. The pilot did not respond when given permission.
A three-day search culminated on Tuesday with the discovery of remains including aircraft parts, luggage and three bodies in the Karimata Strait, south-west of Pangkalan Bun.
Search teams recovered four more bodies on Wednesday, before the search was called off for the day due to adverse weather.
Strong winds and 2m waves left helicopters grounded and prevented divers from searching the waters.
Ships have been deployed to search for wreckage from the plane. Officials are hoping to recover the black box flight recorder, which could provide information about the crash.
The Associated Press news agency quoted one official as saying the bodies of victims could end up being washed up on beaches.
"It seems all the wreckage found has drifted more than 50km (31 miles) from yesterday's location," Vice Air Marshal Sunarbowo Sandi said.
The search is being led by Indonesia but is a multinational effort. Singapore has sent ships equipped with sensors to detect pings that may be emitted from the plane's black boxes.
Malaysia, Australia and Thailand are also involved, while the US destroyer USS Sampson has been sent to the zone.
AirAsia previously had an excellent safety record and there were no fatal accidents involving its aircraft.
Capped 43 times by Scotland, the centre has signed a six-month contract with the Premiership club and hopes to stay for longer after a largely frustrating two-year spell in France with Biarritz.
De Luca, 32, said: "Mentally, I'd kind of prepared myself for retiring.
"There wasn't much out there (in terms of offers) apart from in lower leagues and I didn't want to do that again."
Dumfries-born De Luca started his career with Edinburgh and rejoined the capital outfit after a year with Border Reivers before moving to the French second division in 2014.
"My family all came out to watch my last game for Biarritz and they were very emotional," he told BBC Scotland.
"I started talking to Wasps just after that, so it was a weird time but a time I've learned a lot from. Hopefully I can take that forward going into this opportunity.
"To be honest, the last few years at Biarritz I thought the chance had passed me by for high-level rugby again.
"So to be given this opportunity with such a high-end club, I'm really looking forward to the challenge and seeing if I can still cut it.
"It's a six-month contract, so I've got to hit the ground running and really impress from the word go because I want to stay here and be part of what seems to be a really exciting club."
De Luca is Wasps' 11th signing of the summer and the Scot is looking forward to teaming up with the likes of England fly-half Danny Cipriani and mercurial Australian Kurtley Beale, who are also among the new batch of recruits.
"It was one of the reasons I wanted to come," he said. "I want to play with the best and be part of that.
"I'm really looking forward to hopefully linking up with these guys, playing some exciting rugby and adding to what already is a fantastic backline."
Despite securing the move to Wasps - who finished third in the Premiership last season - De Luca is not expecting a return to the Scotland squad under Vern Cotter.
"Of course we never give up, we always put our names in the hat, but realistically there are better players than me there now who have done more in their short term than I did in my 40 caps," he admitted.
"It would be wonderful, but I'm not expecting that fairytale to continue."
Scotland's encouraging strides in the Rugby World Cup and Six Nations impressed De Luca, who believes the mindset of the squad under Cotter is a long way from his days in the dark blue jersey.
"I was involved in what was a predominately tough phase for Scottish rugby," he recalls.
"For whatever reason, we've all taken our fair share of blows and it's just part and parcel of the game unfortunately.
"I'm still in touch with a lot of the boys. I've got good friends there, including the current captain (Greig Laidlaw), and they just seem to know exactly what it is they're trying to do.
"It's really refreshing. They've been given this confidence and the ability to go out and show what they've got.
"A lot of the time when I was involved, across the board really, it was about minimising mistakes and all the attention was on your mistakes.
"Therefore, when you go out and play, that's all you're thinking about. Just subtle things like that change the mindset.
"I think you see that, when they go out there, they play with fun, they have a smile on their face.
"If something goes wrong, they smile and laugh it off - it's not the end of the world.
"They've got some great players and it's great to see them playing with a swagger. It's a situation to envy and I just hope it continues for them."
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said Saudi Arabia had confirmed munitions bought from the UK in the 1980s had been dropped.
Since 2010 it has been illegal under British law to supply the bombs, which put civilians at risk by releasing small bomblets over a wide area.
Labour said it was "deeply worrying" cluster bomb use had been confirmed.
The UK is supporting the Saudi-led coalition which is fighting the Houthi rebel movement in Yemen.
In a statement to MPs, Mr Fallon said the UK had not supplied any cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia since 1989.
But he added that Saudi investigations had concluded that some UK-made cluster bombs had been dropped.
The BL-755 bombs will no longer be used by the coalition, he added.
Source: United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs
Amnesty International, which says it has documented the use in Yemen of a cluster bomb manufactured in the 1970s, has called on the UK to trace weapons made and sold before the ban.
Earlier the Saudi state news agency reported a coalition spokesman saying cluster bombs were only used against "legitimate military targets".
He added: "It has become apparent that there was limited use by the Coalition of the UK-manufactured BL-755 cluster munition in Yemen.
"This munition was used against legitimate military targets to defend Saudi towns and villages against continuous attacks by Houthi militia, which resulted in Saudi civilian casualties."
Piper, born Roderick Toombs in Saskatchewan, Canada, was one of the main stars of the wrestling circuit from the mid-1980s.
During his career, he won more than 30 titles and was inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame in 2005.
His death comes a month after that of Dusty Rhodes, another Hall of Fame member, aged 69.
The cause of Piper's death was not revealed. He had successfully fought Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2006.
"Roddy Piper was one of the most entertaining, controversial and bombastic performers ever in WWE," said chairman Vince McMahon.
The 13-time world champion Paul 'Triple H' Levesque tweeted that Piper was "a legend and an icon".
He was best known for his rivalry with Hulk Hogan and together they headlined some of wrestling's biggest events.
Hogan and his partner, Mr T, beat Piper and his partner, 'Mr Wonderful' Paul Orndorff at the first WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden in March 1985.
Cast as a villain early in his career, Piper once cracked a coconut over the head of one of his rivals, Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka.
But he gained praise after branching out into acting, starring in the cult 1988 film They Live.
Its director, John Carpenter, said: "He was an under-rated actor and just a marvellous entertainer and I feel like I've just lost one of my close friends."
They had long argued a dedicated channel would provide a better service for Gaelic speakers than individual Gaelic programmes on the major channels.
They also argued that a dedicated Gaelic channel could play a major role in helping to safeguard the future of the language itself.
Uniquely for a BBC service within the UK, it is a joint venture.
Some of the programmes are paid for by the BBC - others are the responsibility of MG Alba, funded by government money.
However, there was disappointment once it became clear that the channel would only be broadcast on satellite TV - watched in 43% of Scottish homes - although programmes can also be accessed online through the BBC Iplayer.
Supporters argued it was vital that the channel should also be broadcast on Freeview, like all the other public service channels.
BBC management came up with a plan which would make this possible.
The downside was that it would mean that the BBC's radio stations would have to come off Freeview whenever BBC Alba was on the air.
The BBC Trust put off a decision earlier this year as it was also due to carry out a wider review on how all BBC services should be broadcast.
It has now backed the scheme after extensive research, although no date has been set for BBC Alba's appearance on Freeview.
Some are hopeful it will be appear on Freeview by the time the digital switchover takes place in central Scotland next May and June.
In practice, BBC Alba will be available in almost every home in Scotland and the challenge for the station will be to demonstrate that it can offer value to as many people as possible and appeal to viewers who cannot speak Gaelic.
Some newspaper commentators have claimed it is difficult for Alba to show it is doing this, as normal viewing figures are not available for the station.
Instead, other forms of research have been used.
It is understood one reason for this is that the sample used to compile normal ratings does not include viewers in the islands of Scotland.
Although the BBC's radio stations will no longer be broadcast on Freeview once this happens, it is possible that they may return in the future as a result of technological improvements.
Despite this, the main radio stations will still be broadcast on FM and medium wave as usual while the digital stations - such as 1 Extra and BBC7 - will still be available on satellite, cable, through digital radios and online.
Deciding between the merits of BBC Alba and the radio stations was a difficult decision.
However, the alternative to this could have involved the BBC buying capacity on another part of the Freeview system at commercial rates - capacity which might not have been able to reach viewers served by relay transmitters.
The BBC Trust has also ruled that Gaelic programmes should remain on BBC Two Scotland, although it will no longer be specified as the BBC's key channel for Gaelic.
However, the way Gaelic is scheduled on BBC Two Scotland is changing.
Gaelic programmes were broadcast in a two-hour block on Thursday evenings until recently.
Individual programmes are now appearing in a variety of slots across the schedule although the overall amount of Gaelic in peak viewing hours should stay the same.
Smith suffered the injury against Edinburgh in September 2013 and had six operations in the following 12 months.
He will now concentrate on his role as an Ospreys coach, which he had been combining with his playing duties.
"It's been a tough three years for me physically. I've given it everything I can but it's the only decision available to me now," said Smith.
"I've worked hard over the last two years or so trying to get my fitness back to where it needs to be as a pro rugby player, and it's been a long road."
Smith made his Ospreys debut against Connacht in February 2007 and made 94 appearances, scoring three tries.
The former Wales youth international took over as Ospreys' elite youth performance manager in December 2014.
The 72-year-old attended London's High Court on Monday at the start of a two-week slander and libel trial where he faced his accuser, Karin Ward, 56.
Mr Starr, of Studley, Warwickshire, is suing her after she said he assaulted her at a Jimmy Savile show in 1974.
Ms Ward denies the damages claims against her and relies on the defences of justification and public interest.
Mr Starr is suing over interviews given to the BBC and ITV in October 2012, statements on a website and those made in an eBook about Ms Ward's life.
He claims he has lost £300,000 because of shows cancelled as a result of the allegations.
He said the police undertook a full investigation into the allegation made by Ms Ward and a further 13 additional complainants who also put forward allegations.
The Crown Prosecution Service decided that no charges would be brought.
Mr Starr told the judge Mr Justice Nicol, who is hearing the case without a jury, that he did not initially recall appearing on Clunk Click in March 1974.
However, footage emerged which showed him in the studio, with Ms Ward in the audience behind him.
During the hearing he rejected the allegation that he had groped the teenager in Savile's dressing-room.
He said: "It just never happened. It was not in my moral compass. My moral compass will not allow me to do that."
He also said had never groped anyone and denied having "wandering hands".
The father-of-five also denied Ms Ward's claim that he smelt of alcohol which frightened her, saying he had never drank.
As well as the financial loss, he had suffered loss to his reputation and damage to his health and family life, the court heard.
"I had been recovering very well from heart surgery up until the allegations were made," Mr Starr said.
"The stress and embarrassment of the false accusations have contributed significantly to a decline in my health. I have had suicidal thoughts."
Ms Ward's advocate, David Price QC, dismissed the evidence of another 15-year-old girl as "garbage".
He also dismissed as "fiction and lies" a claim by a third 15-year-old girl who attended the show that he had engaged her in a "passionate French kiss".
Mr Starr said that Ms Ward and the other two women who made allegations about him, who all attended Duncroft Approved School at the time, had stayed in touch over 40 years.
He added: "They all went to the same school, wore the same school tie and they are all telling lies, and that's the truth of the matter. This whole thing is ridiculous."
Mr Starr has finished giving his evidence and the hearing was adjourned until Tuesday.
The German champions looked set for a frustrating draw when Lewandowski missed from six yards.
But the Poland striker put his side ahead after Javi Martinez's threaded pass, then set up Joshua Kimmich for the second.
Schalke's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar hit the crossbar when the game was goalless.
Substitute Kimmich, 21, followed up his first goal for world champions Germany on Sunday - in a 3-0 World Cup qualifying win in Norway - with his first for Bayern.
Bayern's 19-year-old midfielder Renato Sanches, who helped Portugal win Euro 2016, made his Bundesliga debut following his summer move from Benfica.
Bayern have taken six points from Carlo Ancelotti's first two league games in charge.

Infantino is in Wales for the 130th International Football Association Board annual general meeting, which takes place in Cardiff.
The 45-year-old was elected Fifa boss last month.
He succeeded fellow Swiss Sepp Blatter as president of world football's governing body in February.
Previously Uefa secretary general, Infantino polled 115 votes, 27 more than closest rival Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa.
Glen Daly, 24, of Chadwell St Mary, near Grays, died when his motorcycle was involved in a collision with a lorry on the Greek island in June 2009.
The lorry driver has been charged with negligent homicide.
Mr Daly's parents Les and Dorothy are due to travel to Heraklion for the start of the trial on Thursday.
The trial has been delayed three times: it was adjourned in 2010, 2011 and again in February this year.
"I have mixed emotions," said 55-year-old Mrs Daly. "I am relieved it's going ahead, but at the same time I'm worried about it.
"All I've ever asked for is the truth."
Mr Daly was on the third day of his holiday with his friend Tony Atkins when he died.
The trial will hear evidence from Mr Atkins, 27, who witnessed the crash.
Eighteen motorcyclists have died in the two force areas covering Dyfed-Powys and North Wales Police, compared with eight in 2013.
North Wales Chief Constable Mark Polin said the good weather had brought out more bikers with a minority seeking to "abuse our roads through excess speed".
Road safety charity Brake wants the 60mph limit on rural roads to be cut.
The Dyfed-Powys Police area has had 11 fatalities between January and September this year compared with four in 2013.
Figures for north Wales show there have been seven fatal bike crashes this year with four in 2013.
Also, 85 bikers have been seriously injured in north Wales this year compared with 55 in 2013.
Mr Polin, who rides a police motorbike, told BBC Radio Wales' Country Focus programme that rider error was a big factor in many accidents although other motorists also played a part in other incidents.
He said the force was trying to tackle the problem with education, including using a scheme called BikeSafe which helps and advises motorcyclists, as well as targeting those who speed.
"There is a minority who quite clearly seek to abuse our roads through excess speed," he said.
"Our approach is, for those who do not ride safely and break the law, then, of course, we will seek to identify and prosecute them."
Brake campaigns officer Ed Morrow said a survey this summer showed one in three motorists admitted to speeding on rural roads.
"There is a problem here that we have speed limits of 60mph on many country roads and that is just far too fast for safety when you think about the unexpected hazards that you get on these roads," he said.
The "Kon-Tiki2" expedition began in Peru in November and the rafts reached Chile's Easter Island in 43 days.
However, the expedition organisers said they had decided to bring the return voyage to an end as it had "proven more difficult due to atypical winds".
The Chilean government said the rescued crew were well.
The crew had set off for Chile on the return voyage in January but strong currents pulled them off course.
Crossing the Pacific on tree trunks
The Chilean Navy said in a statement (in Spanish) that the rafts had been about 1,000 miles (1,600km) west of the city of Puerto Montt.
The expedition put out a distress signal on Wednesday, asking for help.
"We realize that reaching South America will take too long and we prefer to evacuate to ensure safety for all," expedition leader Torgeir Higraff said in a statement.
He blamed the El Nino weather phenomenon for creating "atypical" weather patterns, adding that in "a normal year, we would have reached South America by now. Instead, we are still 900 nautical miles from land and the weather forecasts are not promising".
Some of the crew on board were carrying out research on climate change, pollution from microplastics and the impact of the El Nino weather effect.
The original 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition saw a mainly Norwegian team travel across the Pacific on a raft.
That was led by the Norwegian Thor Heyerdahl, considered one of the great adventurers of the 20th Century.
The expedition he led proved that it would have been possible to travel by raft from Peru to Polynesia, contrary to the received wisdom at the time.
The Ministry of Sound, in Elephant and Castle, south London, successfully fought to prevent developer Oakmayne building a residential tower block nearby.
The club feared noise complaints from the completed homes would result in it being closed down.
But the three Liberal Democrat councillors who voted to refuse planning permission in October did not tell the rest of the seven-person committee their party had received £21,000 at a local level and £57,300 nationally from the club.
When the donations were revealed last week, Southwark Lib Dem leader Anood Al-Samerai said: "I contacted the borough solicitor in advance. He came to me with advice that we did not have to declare it."
BBC London has now obtained the verbatim legal advice, which referred to the Local Government Act 2000.
It reads: "The risk is that by voting on this application they may bring themselves into disrepute or breach rules against using their position improperly to advantage themselves or someone else."
The advice continued: "Councillors need to ask whether they can approach this with a completely open mind and judge it on its merits irrespective of consequences for their party's funding.
"If they believe they can then they can legitimately take part in the committee.
"If they think this issue will impact on their decision, they should stand down."
Oakmayne Chairman Christopher Allen said: "This evidence casts serious doubt on the decision.
"For the committee to ignore what appears to be clear legal advice and vote against a development is absolutely shocking.
"Public confidence in local Liberal Democrats' ability to determine this application objectively has been very badly damaged."
Oakmayne is now raising the issue with the Mayor of London, who can call in planning decisions.
Mr Allen added: "Given the circumstances we hope the mayor will determine this quickly."
Ms Al-Samerai said: "I read the advice to mean there was a risk of bad publicity for the Lib Dems, but not a breach of planning rules."
She added: "Our councillors who vote on planning take their responsibility very seriously and judge each application on its merits and according to planning law.
"All donations are properly declared."
Tony Travers, an LSE local government expert, compared the councillors' decision not to declare the donations to the MPs' expenses scandal.
He said: "It's a good example of something that conforms to the letter of the law but not the spirit.
"When you're in the middle of an acrimonious planning row, perception is all."
A spokesman for Labour-run Southwark Council said: "We are confident the right advice was given and correct procedures were followed."
BBC London has also learned the nightclub has complained about the planning process.
It has said it is concerned that former Southwark Council employees advised Oakmayne's bid.
The club said these included the former leader of the council Jeremy Fraser and a former project manager for the Elephant and Castle area.
One of the architects involved is chairman of the council's design review panel, which examines potential developments in the borough.
In an official complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman, also obtained by BBC London, Ministry of Sound's Lohan Presencer said: "This is not conducive to fair decision-making.
"An extremely close relationship exists between the council and developers, particularly Oakmayne."
Mr Presencer said it was of "desperate concern".
He continued: "Council officers seemed determined to push through these applications.
"Council officers are offered money in section 106 commitments [by which developers fund community projects if planning permission is granted].
"Southwark Council's very short of money. That could be a motivating factor."
A council spokesman said: "The Ministry of Sound have made a number of claims and we are looking in to them."
Oakmayne said: "Many talented officers move from the public to private sector - it's neither unusual nor illegal."
The Southwark Labour group is refusing to comment on the row for legal reasons.
Van Geneugden, who was appointed in April, is preparing for a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Comoros on 10 June.
Banda, who plays for local side Kamuzu Barracks, has captained the Flames for their last three matches.
"His form has dropped and his club aren't playing the style of football I'm looking for," the coach explained.
"I think it will be a strong group that is ready to play the passing game and stick to the game plan.
"We have a strong squad, we selected the players because we think they have the technical skills to give quality to the group."
Striker Chiukepo Msowoya is another notable omission from the 27-man squad, he has failed to score in six months for his South African club Golden Arrows.

Mrs Hussain's success on the BBC baking competition was watched by a record audience of over 13 million people last November. Since then, she has become the star of her own television series, written numerous books and baked a birthday cake for The Queen.
It's one thing when you're writing recipes, this is very different. There are no chocolate cakes to hide behind. I ended up creating the story by starting with the characters first. What I realised is that I really enjoy writing about strong women. I grew up in a family of very strong women... it was really nice to write about strong, defiant women who have a voice, but kind of almost don't have a voice. And that's something I can relate to. It's about an immigrant family - first-generation Bangladeshis - very similar to me, but it is in no way autobiographical. Living in quite a close community you hear lots of different stories, anecdotes, funny tales, and I just kind of took bits from things that I've heard. When you write, everything's material!
When I went into the show I was just me. I suppose my headscarf, the way I look, the way I choose to dress is incidental. It's been a part of my life since I was 14, so I don't know anything else. So when I walked into that [Great British Bake-Off] tent it was all about just getting through the bakes. When I came out of the show and during the transmission I realised that what I thought would be incidental was actually highlighted and almost magnified. To this point I've only ever worked really hard to be a role model to my children, never ever thinking about the wider world and it's an absolute honour to be able to be in this position and to say: "Yes I am Muslim, I'm Bangladeshi and I'm British and I'm proud of all those things."
It's not, because I also maintain that I'm not perfect. As a mum nobody gave me a manual - I kind of worked it out at 21. I was like: "Oh so the aim is to keep him alive!"
From the moment I've worn my headscarf that almost comes with the territory. I don't feed negativity with negativity. I receive it with a smile and I say: "You know what? I don't need to balance the scales." For me that's really important because my foremost and most important job is my children. I live in a lovely country. I don't want my kids to grow up with a chip on their shoulder. Those negative people and those negative comments are the minority and I don't let that dictate how I live my life.
I think when you're in the public eye and then you're on on social media, the world is a much smaller place. It's really how I deal with it that matters to me. If there's somebody negative in my life I choose not to have their mobile number in my phone - we're not friends. It's the same with social media. If somebody's mean to me, I just block them. Do I regret [entering Bake-off]? No. Not for a second. There are times when I am tired, but I'm human. This last year I've grown so much as a person and grown in ways I never would have.

Near the end of transmission of Bake-Off there was lots of negativity and it was quite difficult to read some of the stuff. We had to have a police presence round the house and people in the house and things, and the kids had a great laugh. They were like: "We've got extra people staying with us." And they were none the wiser. As much as I put a smile on my face I did think: "Gosh, what have I done? Are my kids safe?" That did scare me, but I soon learned that there are keyboard warriors out there who will just sit there at 2 o'clock in the morning and say things that they can't say to your face, because I can almost guarantee that if I met those people today they would not be able to say those things to me.
I'd hope so. I'd like to think that this is a starting point for other Muslims in the future. Originally I remember feeling like: "Will I be accepted? It is going to be a big deal that I wear a headscarf?" And then [I remember] actually coming out and thinking: "Yeah there's negativity but I'm comfortable in myself. I'm really comfortable being me." It's not about whether you choose to cover your hair or whatever religion you are, it's about finding the confidence within yourself to think: "Yes I'm different, but I can do this."
It genuinely doesn't upset me that people look at my headscarf first, because it's there to be looked at. I'd like to think people are comfortable to ask me those questions that they are curious about. Ask me whatever you want to ask and then we can go on to cake!
I think it's sometimes really hard to be all three [Muslim, British and Bangladeshi] at the same time. Sometimes you have to mute one part of you [so] another bit shines a little bit more, and I think that's magnified more since having the children. What I've learned is [that] it comes naturally, and I quite like the organic process. I like that we are all of these beautiful things, and I think it's such a beautiful thing to be a part of so many different worlds.
The telephone conversation is the second between the two leaders since they met in Florida earlier this month.
It highlights Chinese fears that tensions between the US and North Korea could erupt into conflict.
Mr Trump criticised Pyongyang's belligerence, the White House said.
On Sunday state media said North Korea's forces were "combat-ready to sink" US aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, which the US says is due to arrive off the Korean peninsula "within days".
The aircraft carrier was despatched by Mr Trump amid a warning that US "strategic patience" over the North's nuclear ambitions had come to an end.
The bombastic message - the ruling Workers' Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun called the carrier a "gross animal" - was the latest in a series of bellicose statements and threats from Pyongyang.
In the telephone call, Mr Xi urged all parties to "maintain restraint and avoid actions that would increase tensions", according to the Chinese foreign ministry.
The White House said Mr Trump "emphasised that Pyongyang's actions are destabilising the Korean Peninsula".
The two leaders met on 7-8 April at Mr Trump's Florida resort and then spoke about North Korea by telephone on 12 April, as tensions rose.
Pyongyang says it will press ahead with missile tests despite Mr Trump's warnings. Experts also believe that it may be preparing for another nuclear test, defying UN resolutions.
Tuesday is the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army and North Korea has previously marked such anniversaries with missile or nuclear tests.
China has traditionally been North Korea's ally and the nation with the most influence over Pyongyang, but its stance towards its northern neighbour appears to be hardening.
In recent weeks it has faced repeated calls from the US to impose tougher financial sanctions that would hurt the regime in Pyongyang.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said that call between the two leaders was a sign of their close communication.
The US president also held telephone talks on North Korea with Japanese leader Shinzo Abe on Monday. The two agreed to "keep a high level of vigilance and respond firmly", Mr Abe said afterwards.
Two Japanese destroyers have joined the carrier group for exercises. Envoys from the US, South Korea and Japan are also due to meet in Japan on Tuesday to discuss the current crisis.
North Korea says its nuclear programme is defensive but it is trying to develop weapons small enough to put on ballistic missiles.
There is no evidence yet it has done so or that it has missiles with the range to reach long-distance targets like the US mainland, but experts believe it will achieve these goals in the future. | A soldier involved in a tank incident at a live firing range where two others died has been discharged from hospital.

China's president has called for "restraint" from all parties in a call with US President Donald Trump, a day after Pyongyang said it was "ready" to sink a US aircraft carrier. | 40,341,547 | 15,160 | 1,016 | true |
Recent data suggests that despite the uncertainty created by Brexit and the upcoming general election, Asian investors are flocking to the UK's shores more than ever before.
Research from property investment firm JLL indicates that Asian investors accounted for 28% of the transactions in the UK property market in 2016, up from the 17% the year before.
London in particular continues to be a strong attraction, especially for Asian families who have long had a link to the city.
Pamela Kirpalani's family is originally from India, but she now lives and works in Singapore and runs her own training consultancy, Singapore Inner High Living. Her family are long time investors in the UK property market.
"London for us will always be a safe haven," she told me.
"Our families are spread across India and Singapore and eventually we would like our kids to go to college [in the UK]."
Pamela's family has recently bought their third place in the heart of the city.
"London is London," she said. "Even with the panic of Brexit, and things go up and down in the economy, property prices in the centre of London just always bounce back. So you just can't go wrong with that kind of investment."
It's investors like Pamela that led Manchester-based Select Property to set up an office in Singapore in 2015.
Elliot Vure is the Asia sales manager for the firm. He showed me a model of the latest development - Affinity Living - that the company is building in Manchester, and selling in Asia. On average one of the flats in the building costs about £275,000.
"We've probably seen 30% to 40% of the development being sold to Asian investors," he told me as we toured the firm's offices in Singapore.
Mr Vure added that there's a unique aspect to the way Asians buy their property in comparison to other buyers.
"The vast majority of almost all of the investors in this region are cash purchasers. There's no real desire to get a mortgage," he said.
"People in the UK look for financing and a mortgage, but in Asia it seems to be the opposite."
A lot of that wealth is coming from China, which has been one of the biggest buyers of UK property in the last year, buoyed by the weaker pound in the wake of the uncertainty caused by Brexit.
According to Juwai.com, which calls itself China's leading international property portal, growth in the enquiries into UK property in the last 12 months has jumped 60%, and Chinese buyers are increasingly interested to the UK.
"A lot of our buyers are the average Chinese mom and pop looking to invest overseas," Sue Jong, the chief operating officer of Juwai.com told me.
"The large portion is the middle to upper middle class, that's interested in a good stable investment and may be thinking about emigrating or sending their kids to school there."
The demand for property amongst Asian investors has convinced many that this is a market worth expanding in.
But it's not just physical properties that Asians may be interested in buying.
Prop-X is a property exchange launching later this year, offering Asian investors a shot at owning a share of a property, without so many of the risks.
"What seems to be a fundamental part of the culture is that Asian investors have had a preference for investing in bricks and mortar," chief executive Rohin Modasia told me.
"It's a long standing trend. Post the global financial crisis, the UK has performed pretty well. And Asian investors now are more willing to say I've seen it happen, I've seen my friends do it, and I'm keen to get in on the action."
By some estimates, two thirds of the global middle class by 2030 will be living in Asia. They've been the driving force behind investor appetite in global real estate markets, including the UK's.
As Asia's middle classes get richer and more aspirational, that appetite is only likely to grow. | Investing in property is a mainstay of most Asian portfolios and the UK has typically been among the most desirable of destinations. | 39,732,816 | 873 | 29 | false |
Betfred, owned by billionaire Fred Done, will buy 322 shops and Stan James the other 37 for a total of £55.5m.
Competition regulators ruled in July that Ladbrokes and Coral must sell 350-400 shops for their merger to be cleared.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will now assess the shop deals.
Jim Mullen, the chief executive of Ladbrokes, said: "The sale of these shops will clear the last significant hurdle to delivering on the merger with Coral and paves the way for our focus on completion and quickly delivering on the opportunities the merger offers."
The two bookmakers said they would seek approval from the CMA to complete the merger once they sell one further shop.
Ladbrokes and Gala Coral are the UK's second and third largest retail betting firms, behind William Hill.
Ladbrokes has about 2,150 outlets in Britain and 77 in Northern Ireland. Coral runs 1,850 shops in Britain.
A merger between the two would make them the UK's largest High Street bookmaker.
However, William Hill is seeking its own tie-up with Canadian operator Amaya, owner of the PokerStars franchise, to keep up with the competition and bolster its online offering.
It was widely reported over the weekend that William Hill plans to press ahead with the £4.5bn deal despite misgivings from its largest shareholder.
The tiny Pacific state signed a memorandum of understanding with California's Seasteading Institute in San Francisco on Friday.
It outlined objectives the institute must meet to get possible go-ahead for its first "seastead" community, off the island of Tahiti.
But the floating futurists themselves admit it will be anything but plain sailing to realise their dream of sea-borne social experiments floating around the world.
"I don't think it will be terribly radical at first," the institute's executive director Randolph Hencken, told the BBC.
For a start, it will be in French Polynesian territory, close to shore and protected from the high seas.
Seastead plans often involve them being in international waters to create a libertarian utopia free of landlubbers' laws.
This agreement leaves open the question of what freedoms the floating community will be granted by the government.
Mr Hencken is confident that having invited them to make their proposal, the authorities will grant them "leeway" to govern themselves and their "special economic sea zone".
The deal specifies two points the project has to prove - whether it will benefit the local economy and whether it can avoid damaging the environment.
Only then will work begin on developing what the institute calls a "unique governing framework", and even that will need to be approved by the local government, and potentially France, which ultimately holds the territory.
"I'm confident it'll happen but there are a lot of moving parts," Mr Hencken admits.
Not least of which is considerable uncertainty over what the sea-going village - visions of a marine metropolis are still floating over the horizon - will look like, architecturally or socially.
The former is little more than computer generated images so far, and as for public services and paying for them, Mr Hencken admits it is a blank slate.
"A lot of these things, while they've been discussed over camp fires, haven't yet been selected," he says. "Our ultimate goal is to create space for any experiments... not exclusively libertarianism."
The institute says its communities will be sustainable, shunning fossil fuels and destructive use of the seas.
But with many prominent seasteading supporters famously keen on eliminating taxes and regulations, critics are unconvinced sustainability is the real goal.
The institute itself was co-founded by Silicon Valley's best-known Donald Trump supporter, Peter Thiel, and several of his associates are among its staff.
Mr Hencken insists living closer to the sea will reverse the attitude that "oceans are a hunting ground, a superhighway and a garbage can."
Whatever the motivation, it is a dream that is not short of ambition - floating social Petri dishes where each can experiment with new ways of living - but it is ironic that the first practical steps towards achieving it are in territory owned by one of Europe's most interventionist states, France.
Mr Hencken praises the stable institutions, friendliness and security of the "paradise" of Tahiti, in contrast to some more freewheeling and corrupt places they have considered in the past, he said.
If it fails, it will join a long list of doomed futurist daydreams, but if the "pilot project of just two or three platforms" grows into a global social experiment, it may ironically have landlubbers to thank for helping set them out to sea.

Archbishop Tutu retired from public life in 2011 but continues to travel.
The statement said Mr Tutu has expressed his thanks to staff at the Cape Town hospital.
"The love, prayers and good wishes expressed by people around the world had been just as important as the medical attention in aiding the arch's [Tutu's] recovery," his daughter Rev Canon Mpho Tutu said.
Mr Tutu was readmitted on 20 August two weeks after being discharged.
The first black archbishop of Cape Town played a vocal role opposing white-minority rule in South Africa.

Daniel Hegarty, 15, was shot twice in the head during an Army operation to clear "no-go" areas in the city.
A 2011 inquest found the boy posed no risk and was shot without warning.
The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) said there was no reasonable prospect of a conviction. His sister has said she will continue to fight for justice.
The family will be applying for leave for a judicial review of the decision.
Margaret Brady, Mr Hegarty's sister, said: "We have never got our day in court. I just can't understand the justice system.
"The house was never the same after it. My mummy and daddy didn't speak very much about Daniel and if they did they were always in tears."
The initial inquest was held in 1973 and recorded an open verdict. A second inquest was ordered by the Attorney General in 2009 following an examination by the Historical Enquiries Team.
The report found that the RUC investigation at the time was "hopelessly inadequate and dreadful".
As a result of the report, an inquest in 2011 found that the teenager posed no risk and dismissed claims that soldiers had shouted warnings before firing.
Daniel, a labourer, was unarmed when he was shot close to his home in Creggan during Operation Motorman, an army-mounted attempt to re-take areas of the city.
His cousin Christopher, 16, was also shot in the head by the same soldier, but survived.
The prosecution service's Assistant Director of Central Casework, Michael Agnew, said that careful consideration had been given to all of the available evidence and information.
"Our assessment remains that there is no reasonable prospect of proving to the criminal standard that Soldier B did not act in self-defence having formed a mistaken but honest belief that he was under imminent attack.
Overall, missed GP and hospital appointments cost the health service in England nearly £1bn a year, Jeremy Hunt said in a speech this week.
He said he sympathised with the idea of charging patients for missing GP appointments, although there are no plans for this to happen.
But he said people would have to "take personal responsibility" for NHS funds.
In a measure announced in a speech to the Local Government Association on Wednesday, Mr Hunt said he planned to display the cost of prescription medicines on packets.
The figure and the words "funded by the UK taxpayer" will be added to all packs costing more than £20 in England.
The move is part of efforts to reduce the £300m bill for "wasted" medication, which is prescribed but not used.
In the same speech, he said missed GP appointments cost the taxpayer £162m and missed hospital appointments cost £750m.
Mr Hunt told the Question Time programme that NHS resources were stretched already, adding there would be more than one million extra people aged over 70 by the end of the current parliament.
"If we're going to square the circle and have a fantastic NHS, despite all those pressures, then we have to take personal responsibility for the way that we use NHS resources," he said.
Mr Hunt told the audience in Essex he did not have a "problem in principle with the idea of charging people for missed appointments."
But he added: "I think in practical terms it could be difficult to do, but I've taken a step towards that this week by announcing that when people do miss an appointment they will be told how much that's cost the NHS."
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn, who is standing to succeed Ed Miliband as party leader, accused pharmaceutical companies of holding the NHS "to ransom" by charging high prices for medicines.
On the idea of charging for missed appointments, My Corbyn added: "I don't think it would be a very good idea. I think it would be very hard to collect it.
"There are lots of reasons people miss appointments - some because they are lazy and can't be bothered, sometimes because they couldn't get there, all kinds of things."
Shadow health minister Andrew Gwynne said the real reason people were struggling to see a GP was because David Cameron had scrapped the right to a GP appointment within 48 hours and cut Labour's scheme for evening and weekend opening.
"Patients have a responsibility to attend GP appointments and to let their surgery know if they cannot attend," he said.
"Many GP surgeries already remind patients about appointments using text messages and emails, and the first priority should be to expand the use of these services, rather than cutting the funding for them, as the government is planning to do."
Smith, 44, had been lined up to come in as successor to Steve Evans following his departure last week.
Walsall have confirmed that the approach was 'categorically rejected'.
The Saddlers, second in League One, currently stand just five places below Rotherham in the league pyramid.
The Millers lie 21st in the Championship, having lost six of their 10 matches this season.
A Walsall statement read: "In response to media speculation, the club can confirm it received an approach from a Championship club for permission to speak to Dean Smith. This approach was categorically rejected.
"As one of the longest serving managers in the country, Dean has been instrumental in the club's progress since his appointment and is fundamental to our future plans."
Meanwhile, Saddlers eight-goal top scorer Tom Bradshaw has been nominated for League One's player of the month award for September.
Mr Obama told ABC News some, but not all, hacking originating from China was state sponsored, although he played down congressional talk of a cyber war.
He spoke a day after US intelligence chiefs said cyber attacks had replaced terrorism as the main security threat.
China denies such hacking and says it is the victim of such attacks.
Mr Obama was asked in the interview with ABC News, broadcast on Wednesday, about claims from US lawmakers that the scale of attacks on American firms and infrastructure amounted to a cyber "war" with China.
"You know, there's a big difference between them engaging in cyber espionage or cyber attacks and obviously a hot war," the president said.
"What is absolutely true is that we have seen a steady ramping up of cyber security threats. Some are state sponsored. Some are just sponsored by criminals.
"We've made it very clear to China and some other state actors that, you know, we expect them to follow international norms and abide by international rules.
"And we'll have some pretty tough talk with them. We already have."
China has long been suspected of a role in cyber attacks, prompting Pentagon warnings that America must guard against a "digital Pearl Harbor". A US congressional report last year named China as "the most threatening actor in cyberspace".
The issue has become a growing bone of contention between Washington and Beijing.
On Tuesday, US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told a Senate committee that cyber attacks and cyber espionage had supplanted terrorism as the top security threat facing the country.
A day earlier in New York, US National Security Advisor Tom Donilon called on Beijing to take steps to stop cyber crime.
Last month, a report from US security firm Mandiant said a unit of China's People's Liberation Army had mounted data raids on the computer systems of more than 140 mostly US-based organisations.
US state department officials have said hacking comes up "in virtually every meeting we have with Chinese officials".
In January, the New York Times said it had been subject to cyber attacks from China, following the newspaper's report on the wealth of outgoing Premier Wen Jiabao's family.
The glitzy event draws celebrities, journalists and politicians, normally including the US president.
Mr Trump said he would not attend a day after the White House excluded several major broadcasters and newspapers from a press briefing.
He has frequently described negative news coverage as "fake".
The announcement comes as relations between the White House and some media outlets continue to deteriorate.
On Friday, the BBC, CNN, Buzzfeed and the New York Times were among media groups barred from an off-camera informal briefing held by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
Hours before the briefing, Mr Trump had delivered a strong attack on what he called "fake news" in the media, targeting stories with unnamed sources.
He said "fake news" was the "enemy of the people".
Mr Trump announced his non-attendance at the correspondents dinner via Twitter.
He wrote: "I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!"
Bloomberg News and the New Yorker magazine are among media outlets who have said they will not hold their usual after-parties this year.
There have been some calls for journalists to boycott the event itself.
Every sitting president since 1924 has attended the correspondents' dinner at least once, according to the New York Times.
They traditionally make a light-hearted speech at the annual event. Former US President Barack Obama attended eight times.
Mr Trump has himself attended the dinner in the past
In 2011, Barack Obama joked that Mr Trump would turn the White House into a casino if he became president and made fun of rumours, then propagated by Mr Trump, that President Obama was not born in the US.
Obama sends up Trump's ambitions at 2011 dinner
The New York businessman was shown on camera sitting stony-faced through a barrage of jokes at his expense, including some from host Seth Meyers, although he said last year that he "loved that dinner".
In a statement the White House Correspondents' Association said it took note of the president's announcement and said the dinner would "continue to be a celebration of the First Amendment and the important role played by an independent news media in a healthy republic".
Ronald Reagan was the last sitting US president not to attend the dinner, but this was after he was shot in 1981 and he still phoned into the event.
According to NPR, Richard Nixon was the last president to simply skip the event, doing so in 1972.
Matty Taylor netted on his full debut and Tammy Abraham scored twice from close range as the Robins dominated an abject home side in the first half.
Headers from Bent and Tom Ince, though, set up a thrilling finale.
And Bent's penalty, after Scott Golbourne fouled Ince, denied City a third away league win of the season.
Bent's composure from the spot - for his sixth goal in seven games - took the Rams to within five points of the play-off places, and came after a second-half performance which was in stark contrast to a miserable opening period when the Rams lacked both urgency and quality.
Taylor's tap-in, in his second match after a controversial move from Bristol Rovers, put the visitors ahead.
They wasted several chances to double the lead before Abraham's double - the first set up after a flowing team move and both involving the excellent Taylor - seemingly settled the match by the break.
A second successive City win, which would have taken them five points clear of the relegation zone, started to look in doubt as the Rams hit back through Bent's diving header and Ince's downward header.
And Bent's coolly taken penalty made it 3-3 with 10 minutes left, but the Robins survived some strong home pressure to go home with one point.
Derby boss Steve McClaren: "For the neutral it was one hell of a game, but we talk about game ready or game head on and we didn't have it on first half, it's as simple as that.
"You can't do that against any opponent. We had to change attitude and it was up to the players to respond, which they did, but I think it's a lesson for us.
"We said that at the end, it's a lesson and if you're not right and your game head isn't on, you can lose to anyone.
"It was Jekyll and Hyde, we know the direction we want to take and it's up to the players."
Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson: "You know when your kid runs out in the road and you quickly grab them back in and you don't know whether to give them a smack on the bum or a cuddle, that's how I feel.
"So much of our work was excellent today, the way the players passed and moved the ball in the first half, and even in the second we created numerous really good chances and could have scored six.
"But obviously I'm massively disappointed, I'd be lying if I told you I was happy with the group and taking a point from a winning position and three goals up.
"We are very, very close to being a decent side but we've got to learn and grow together."

The Spanish defender, 27, could be followed out of the Premier League side by fellow countryman Jose Canas.
In an open letter to fans posted via social media, Flores said: "Two years ago I came to Swansea with many hopes.
"I knew I was joining a great, "small" club and to the best league in the world - the Premier League."
Flores, who has made 74 appearances for the Swans, had signed a one-year extension to his contract which committed him to the club until 2016.
His exit continues a Spanish exodus from Swansea after striker Michu left for Napoli on loan and Alejandro Pozuelo joined Rayo Vallecano.
And winger Pablo Hernandez has been linked with Qatari club Al Arabi.
"I have experienced so much in these two seasons that, by far, exceeded my expectations," added Flores
"That is why today I am sad to leave a club that has been like a family since the beginning and allowed me to enjoy and experience football in a very special and intense way.
"At Liberty Stadium I felt at home thanks to all the fans that welcomed me wonderfully and supported me until the very last minute of every game."
Other activity at Swansea during the summer has seen Tottenham signing Ben Davies and Michel Vorm, with Gylfi Sigurdsson moving the other way.
Swansea also signed ex-Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis,Ecuador winger Jefferson Montero and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski from Arsenal.
They have also started contract negotiations to extend South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-Yeung's stay at the club.
Meanwhile Canas, who has made 26 appearances for the club, joined Swansea City on a free transfer from Real Betis in 2013.
The Mid Norfolk MP and government minister George Freeman has taken the highly unusual, some are saying dramatic, step of writing to business leaders in Cambridgeshire appealing to them to lobby the county council there to join the Norfolk/Suffolk bid.
In his letter, he talks about the "massive potential" of the East of England: "I am concerned that if we don't capitalise on this potential and link Cambridge properly to its surrounding counties, this potential could be lost."
And just to pile on the pressure, he adds that the plans for a Cambridgeshire/Norfolk/Suffolk combined authority has the support of the chancellor, the local government secretary Greg Clark, local MPs and the man overseeing the government's devolution project, Lord Heseltine.
Suffolk and Norfolk county councils have been talking about taking more powers from Whitehall for the last year.
They want more control over things like transport, planning, health services and flood defences but ministers considered their bid too small.
They were advised to cast their net wider and invite Cambridgeshire to join them.
Last month, though, Cambridgeshire politely said no.
It would be interested in more closer working, it said, but didn't want to be part of a combined authority.
This has clearly frustrated MPs like George Freeman, who are great advocates of an "Eastern Powerhouse".
"We have in Cambridge a global growth city and yet within 40 minutes we've got pockets of real deprivation and that's because our infrastructure has not been planned strategically," he said.
"We've got to think much more strategically about our area. If we were more ambitious and worked together we could raise a lot of investment internationally for East Anglia."
We understand that Mr Freeman has been one of several MPs quietly lobbying behind the scenes for a joint Cambridgeshire/Norfolk/Suffolk bid.
Other key players, we are told, have been the Conservative West Suffolk MP Matthew Hancock and the Cambridge MP, Labour's Daniel Zeichner.
The rebuff from the Cambridgeshire side, including views from the County Council, the Greater Cambridgeshire and Greater Peterborough Local Enterprise Partnership and other public bodies, has clearly spurred them to take further action.
As well as Mr Freeman appealing to the local business community, we understand Lord Heseltine is to visit Cambridge for talks, possibly accompanied by Greg Clark.
And the group that represents businesses in Norfolk and Suffolk, the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, is also believed to be doing its own quiet lobbying.
"The pressure is building, you are going to see things happen soon," one senior minister has told us.
But the initial response from Cambridgeshire has been lukewarm.
"We are keen to listen and question them about what benefits we can achieve for the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough who we serve." said a spokesman for the county council.
"However, any devolution deal would require support from our partners and authorities."
A couple of business leaders in Cambridge have told us that they believe Norfolk and Suffolk are just trying to get a share of the city's economic magic, while Cambridgeshire is still trying to spread its money as far around the county as it can.
Devolution should be local decision-making, but Westminster seems to be behind this latest banging of heads.
His comments come after two recent incidents in Premier League matches.
Robert Snodgrass apologised for going down without contact to earn a penalty for Hull against Crystal Palace, while Dele Alli won a debated spot-kick in Tottenham's 5-0 win over Swansea.
"Introduce retrospective bans and it will be gone. I'm stunned it's not been introduced," said Dyche.
"Certain teams would have three or four players done immediately, from a warning in private to the manager up to a three-game ban.
"It's simple to officiate. You have a panel of experts and give out bans.
"Within six months the panel would be defunct because people wouldn't be doing it anymore."
Hull boss Mike Phelan believes it is only a matter of time before video technology is introduced to ensure that correct decisions are made in Premier League games.
"I think video technology is just around the corner," he said.
When asked why, he added: "I think because of the high demand for the correct decisions and because the rewards are so great now.
"We've created this environment now where everything is scrutinised so closely, because it can be, that it's just a matter of time before things are going to be judged in real time."
Earlier this month, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was quizzed about Alli's penalty against Swansea and said he could not give a "definitive view" about whether the England international had dived while under pressure from Kyle Naughton.
Meanwhile, Snodgrass was already on a yellow card when he won the penalty in the 3-3 draw with Palace at the weekend, and would have been sent off had referee Mike Jones thought he dived and issued a booking for unsporting behaviour.
The Scotland international later tweeted: "Apologies from my end, it was never a penalty. But genuinely thought defender was going to slide, so tried to ride the tackle."
Phelan commended Snodgrass for apologising and said he had spoken to the winger about the incident, but Dyche continued: "It's got to a level now that it is so theatrical that I'm surprised people don't just start laughing.
"It's gone too far. It's ridiculous. There are fans out there who must be tired of seeing it and I'm tired of how it's crept into our game to become accepted.
"My son plays and I can assure you there are kids diving all over the place. That cannot be right. If you caught your kid cheating in a maths test what would you say? You'd go mental, absolutely mental.
"Seemingly in football it's OK if little Johnny dives, it's clever. But is it clever to cheat? I don't think so.
"Kids copy the coloured football boots, the haircuts, the skills, they're going to copy the way they act as well."
Under current Football Association rules in England, players who pretend to have been fouled should receive a caution for simulation, which comes under the category of unsporting behaviour.
The rules are different in Scotland, where players can be banned for diving retrospectively. At the start of the current season, Hearts' Jamie Walker was handed a retrospective two-match ban for diving to win a penalty against Celtic.
The Scottish FA found him in breach of disciplinary rule 201 as the "simulation caused a match official to make an incorrect decision". The player contested the charge, but the compliance officer's verdict was upheld.
However, incidents of diving are not currently retrospectively punished in English football.
No, it's not. The highest number of yellow cards dished out for diving was 33 in the 2012-13 season - 2.64% of the total for the campaign.
The second highest was 27 (2.13%) in 2008-09.
This season, there have been eight bookings for diving - 1.28% of the total of 623 yellow cards. That ratio would be the second lowest since 2007-08 if it continues.
We asked Match of the Day Facebook followers for their views on what was the best and worse things about British football. Here are the responses on the subject of diving:
Joshua Thomas: Bans and fines have no impact. If you want to see it stopped (and I do) then take three points off a team where video replays show a player has dived and cheated to try and con the referee. Alli last week, Snodgrass this week. Neither came under any contact. Take three points off Spurs and Hull and I guarantee the managers will put a stop to it within a week.
Sam Cope, in response: As much as I hate diving, a punishment like this would be crazy, and would just lead to massive appeal situations that would on go for weeks.
Andrew Bates: Straight red for diving. If a keeper touches a striker he's off so it should be the same for a striker trying to get a penalty. If it's not caught in the game and brought up after, then a red card should be applied as well.
Timothy Cormack: Give each manager two calls per half. If a manager sees a ref has got a decision wrong, he can challenge the decision. If the manger gets the challenge right he gets to keep the call and the decision is made there and then. If he gets it wrong he loses that challenge.
Speaking at Mr Cameron's final Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Robertson said he could not applaud such a record.
The prime minister said his successor Theresa May was a "brilliant negotiator" who would secure a good deal for the UK and for Scotland.
David Cameron is due to be replaced as prime minister by Mrs May.
Mr Robertson did however wish Mr Cameron and his family well "notwithstanding our differences".
During a raucous PMQs in which Mr Cameron was loudly praised by his own MPs, the SNP's Westminster leader said: "The prime minister's legacy will undoubtedly be that he has taken us to the brink of being taken out of the European Union, so we will not be applauding his premiership on these benches.
"What advice has he given his successor on taking Scotland out of the EU against the wishes of Scottish voters?"
The prime minister responded that the UK should "should try to be as close to the European Union as we can be, for the benefits of trade, of co-operation and of security".
He added: "The channel will not get any wider once we leave the European Union and that is the relationship we should seek. That will be good for the United Kingdom and for Scotland."
Angus Robertson also used Mr Cameron's final appearance at the dispatch box to attack Mrs May and draw further attention to the Brain family, who are facing deportation from the UK after coming to the Highlands from Australia in 2011.
He told the House of Commons: "The prime minister's successor is very, very well known in Scotland...because of the threat to deport the very much liked and loved Brain family from the Highlands."
Mr Robertson said one of Mrs May's first tasks would be to impose Trident "against the will of almost every single MP from Scotland".
The prime minister said he was hopeful that the Brain family would secure a work visa to remain in Scotland.
Mr Cameron said: "We've given them an extension to the 1 August to put in an application for a work visa in the normal way, and I very much hope that will happen.
"On Trident, there will be a vote in this house and it's right that this house should decide and many people in Scotland support our nuclear deterrent, maintaining it and the jobs that come to Scotland.
"He asks about the record of this government when it comes to Scotland, well I'll tell him what it is - 143,000 more people in work in Scotland, massive investment in the renewable industries in Scotland, the two biggest war ships ever built in our history built in Scotland, a powerhouse parliament, a referendum that was legal, decisive and fair and, I might add, a Scotsman winning Wimbledon twice while I was prime minister.
"Never mind Indy2, I think it's time for Andy2."
The 45-year-old Glaswegian says he was always fated to take on the mysteries of the deep.
"I was actually born with webbed feet, and my father used to comment that I looked like a merman so I was destined for the sea," he says.
His father's prediction was borne out.
Lochridge has spent much of his adult life in marine-related jobs, including commercial diving and piloting submarines.
But he is preparing for his biggest challenge yet.
Next year he will be taking dozens of paying passengers down about 12,500ft (nearly 2.4 miles or 3.8km) to the wreck of the Titanic, 370 miles south-southeast of Newfoundland.
OceanGate, the US firm behind the dives, says more people have been into space or climbed Mount Everest than have visited the Titanic's final resting place.
The firm stresses that it is a survey expedition and not a tourist trip.
Over six weeks from next May, David will make repeated dives in a new carbon fibre submersible called Cyclops 2, designed to withstand depths of up to 4,000m.
On each trip to the bottom of the ocean, he will take three "mission specialists" - passengers who are underwriting the expedition - and a "content expert" with a good working knowledge of the wreck.
Titanic facts:
The expedition doesn't come cheap. Each one of the 54 people who have signed up for the deep dive is paying $105,129 for the privilege.
That's not a random number.
The "mission support fee" is the inflation-adjusted cost of first-class passage on the ill-fated Titanic voyage in 1912.
The adventurers range in age from 28 to over 70 and include cave divers, mountain climbers and scuba divers, as well as nine Virgin Galactic "future astronauts".
They come from around the world, including the UK, US, Australia, Japan and China.
According to OceanGate, they will take an active role in areas such as communications, navigation, sonar operation, photography and dive planning.
It won't be David's first expedition to a famous shipwreck. Last year he piloted a sub down to the Andrea Doria, a passenger liner that sank off Massachusetts in 1956, with the loss of nearly 50 lives.
But this time he will be entering unknown territory as he heads down more than 3,800m to the Titanic.
His deepest dive so far has been just under 600m (about 1900ft)
But he points out that the riskiest part of a subsea mission tends to be near the surface, rather than deep down.
"The worst things that can happen take place at shallow depths - that's where you see the biggest pressure changes," he says.
"The biggest hurdle, especially with the Atlantic, is that the weather conditions are at the beck and call of Mother Nature.
"We have a mobile subsea launch and recovery system, which we can deploy from once the sub is down at depth, so we should be out of the way of all the topside weather conditions."
He adds: "The thing is, when you are in the water in a submersible, the minute the ambient light disappears, you could be at 40m, 400m or 4,000m.
"Now obviously you have got an immense amount of pressure going against the hull but you are not actually going to feel that inside because everybody inside the submersible is at atmospheric pressure."
David estimates that it will take about 90 minutes to descend to the scene of the wreck - and another hour-and-a-half to get back to the surface.
Once down there, each team will spend several hours surveying the wreck.
David explains: "Everybody knows that the Titanic is starting to crumble. There have been reports that in the next 30 to 40 years, all it will be is a pile of debris on the seabed.
"We are not going to pick anything up. We are going to go down and look at the bow area, which is going to be main focus here."
The Cyclops 2 crew will be able to see the wreck via cameras fitted around the sub or through a viewport at the front.
The expedition team plans to produce a detailed 3D model of the shipwreck and debris field using multi-beam sonar and laser scanning technology.
It will also document the condition of the Titanic using high-definition photographs and video.
OceanGate says it hopes to return to the site each year to update survey records.
"Basically it is going to provide knowledge to the world on what is happening down there at that depth to one of the most famous shipwrecks in the world," says David.
"The bow and the stern sections are a good distance away from each other, so there is a huge debris area which has not been looked at thoroughly on the previous dives that have been done.
"We want to map where these items are for future reference."
Cyclops 2, which is currently under construction, is due to undergo pressure tests before being put through its final paces in a submarine canyon in Monterey Bay, California, later this year.
Although David is heading for deeper depths than he has ever been before, he maintains he is not nervous.
"I am very excited about it," he says. "You have to be slightly different to want to do this job day in and day out.
"It is not for everybody - just having an obsession with the sea, this is what it is all about for me.
"I couldn't see myself doing anything else."
Taller than her classmates, when she waves a small Afghan flag, it flutters above a sea of white headscarves in the courtyard of the Zarghuna Girls' School in Kabul.
"I'm proud of my flag, and proud to go to school, so I can build my country," she declares as she approaches me at the start of the school day on a chilly winter morning in Kabul.
"Do you think a girl in Afghanistan can now do what she wants?" I ask this poised teenager, expecting another burst of youthful enthusiasm.
"Oh no, absolutely not," she shoots back, without a moment's hesitation. "If you want to go out, you can't go out alone. As you know, there are a lot of rapes."
Girls like Rita know sheer force of personality is no match for the very real threats to Afghan girls and women.
Listen to the voices of those who boldly speak out, and you're constantly struck by this double-edged sword that hovers, all too closely, over all their lives.
My recent trip to the Afghan capital was intended to build on the true stories in a new play "Even If We Lose Our Lives" commissioned by the human rights organisation Amnesty International.
But the three women featured in the script lost their voices in the more dangerous drama of daily life.
A gynaecologist who only uses her initial Dr D, as well as school headmistress Parween, were forced to go into hiding because of threats linked to their work. Women's activist Maneesha also faces risks.
So, I went in search of other voices for our programme "Speaking out, Losing Lives" for BBC Radio 4 and the World Service, produced by Beaty Rubins.
At Kabul's Rabia Balkhi hospital, I found a more reassuring window on a women's world.
Well-educated Afghan women doctors are in charge, trained female nurses attend to female patients.
In the hallway I run into a gaggle of young women in lilac-coloured medical coats and caps. They've come to the capital from remote impoverished areas of Daikundi province to train as community midwives.
Meela Sarwar, who heads the training programme, is also brimming with confidence, and the conviction of her mission.
"After two years we will send them back to their own areas, where there is no clinic, no nurse, no doctors, they are the nurse, doctor, midwife, everything," she tells me.
Afghanistan's maternal mortality rate, once one of the highest in the world, is now said to be inching down, partly because of the growing presence of competent midwives, and more clinics and better practises in some areas.
A comforting sense of order and routine is suddenly shattered when an elderly woman holding a baby swaddled in a tiny white blanket hurries toward us.
"Girl or boy?" I ask as she approaches.
"Dead," replies a grieving grandmother as she draws her arms more closely around the stillborn child. The distraught mother then rushes out the door in her all-enveloping blue burka. The garment, which only reveals a woman's eyes, cannot conceal her grief.
In a country where many women's main role in life is simply to bear children, it's a tragic turn.
Meela shakes her head. "She waited seven years to conceive but then waited through nine months of pregnancy before she came to the hospital to see us."
It's still the story of all too many women.
Female professionals in hospitals are also fighting on another front. A new department has been established to tackle gender-based violence.
"We deal with many cases - physical trauma, emotional trauma, sometimes sexual trauma including rape cases," Dr Aweed Dehyar, head of Rabia Balkhi hospital, explains as she sits in her office in her crisp white medical coat and cap.
She tells me about cases involving teenagers and even children as young as five, or even three years old. "Are there many cases that age?" I ask.
"I think one case in three months but in Afghanistan, all cases don't come to the hospital. Out of ten cases, maybe one comes here."
Last month the case of three-year-old Neelofar, attacked by an 18-year-old boy, shocked many. But women's activists hailed the fact that at least it came to light.
There are more legal weapons to protect Afghan women now. The landmark Law on the Elimination of Violence against Women went into effect in 2009 but, aside from a few exceptions, most evidence shows it is largely unimplemented and unenforced.
To advance women's rights, education is fundamental which is why the scenes at schools like Zarghuna in Kabul are so significant.
When the impressive Rita Faizi takes me along to her English class, I ask what seems like a whole classroom of confident girls whether they fear the return of the Taliban which once banned their education.
"With our knowledge, with our education, we want to defeat them," rises the defiant young chorus from the neat rows of wooden desks.
Last week, at the London Conference on Afghanistan, their newly elected President Ashaf Ghani made it clear that empowering women is one of his top priorities.
When I ask him whether he's ahead of his time in his still deeply conservative country he insists: "We have gone back in time. I just want to give opportunities to Afghan women that my grandmother had. What's wrong with that?"
In Kabul, I meet his wife Rula Ghani in her new office inside the heavily fortified palace for the first First Lady most Afghans have known.
"You know the expression, show don't tell?" Lebanese-born Rula Ghani asks. "I think my husband is showing in the way he's allowing me to proceed that women can have a role."
Now, as Afghanistan enters a new political chapter, millions more men, and women, are being called upon to do the same.

Botanical Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) compiled the tree list by using data gathered from its network of 500 member organisations.
It hopes the list will be used as a tool to identify rare and threatened species in need of immediate action to prevent them becoming extinct.
Details of the study appear in the Journal of Sustainable Forestry.
The data revealed that Brazil was the nation with the greatest number of tree species, home to 8,715 varieties.
Apart from the polar regions, which have no trees, the near-Arctic region of North America had the fewest number of species, with less than 1,400.
Another fact to emerge from the data was that more than half of the species (58%) were only found in one country, suggesting that they were vulnerable to potential threats, such as deforestation from extreme weather events or human activity.
About 300 species have been identified as critically endangered as they had fewer than 50 individuals remaining in the wild.
BGCI secretary general Paul Smith said that it was not possible to accurately estimate the number of tree species in the world until now because the data has only just been digitised.
"We are in a unique position because we have 500 botanical institutions as members," he told BBC News.
"A lot of the data is not readily available to the public. The digitisation of this data, in effect, is the culmination of centuries of work."
An important factor of the study is the geo-referencing of the tree species, which allow conservationists to locate individual species, Dr Smith explained.
"Getting location information, such as which countries do these these trees occur in, gives us key information for conservation purposes.
"That is hugely useful for us in prioritizing which ones we need to do conservation action on and which ones we need to do assessments to find out what their status is," he added.
BGCI identified a species that was on the edge of extinction as a result of overharvesting. Karomia gigas is found in a remote part of Tanzania. At the end of 2016, a team of scientists found a single population of just six trees.
They recruited local people to guard the trees and to notify them when the trees produced seeds.
The plan is for the seeds to be propagated in Tanzanian botanical gardens, allowing the species to be re-introduced back into the wild at a later date.
BGCI said that it did not expect the number of trees on its GlobalTreeSearch list to remain static as about 2,000 plants were newly subscribed each year. It would be updating the list whenever a new species was named.

The policeman, known as Vincent, infiltrated a group known as the Three Musketeers, who are accused of plotting an attack on British soil
A fellow covert officer told the Old Bailey Vincent, who has denied planting incriminating evidence, was "honest".
The four men deny preparing terrorist acts.

They were arrested in August, after a partially constructed bomb, a hatchet and imitation gun were found by security services.
Vincent has been cross-examined over his role in the discovery of an explosive device in a car of convicted terrorist Naweed Ali, 29, of Sparkhill in Birmingham.
Ali's Seat Leon had been parked at the Birmingham depot of Hero Couriers, a fake firm operated by undercover officers tasked with infiltrating Ali and his co-accused Khobaib Hussain, 25, also of Sparkhill, through delivery shifts.
Vincent has repeatedly denied the allegation of Ali's defence team that he planted incriminating evidence.
Fellow undercover officer Andy, who was the joint owner of Hero Couriers, was questioned by prosecutor Gareth Patterson QC about allegations levelled at Vincent.
Giving evidence anonymously, Andy said: "I find that extremely hard to believe. There's nothing to be gained by doing that.
"He has always been absolutely professional in dealings I have had with him."
Mr Patterson said: "Were you under any pressure in the undercover team to find evidence that would allow an arrest to be made that Friday August 26?"
Andy replied: "No, absolutely not."
He also said there was nothing about Vincent's behaviour that looking back seemed suspicious.

Dean Ovel, 40, from Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, completed the challenge in Southend High Street from midday on Saturday to midday on Sunday.
Mr Ovel designed and built the 8ft (2.4m) tall wheel himself, and only escaped it for "short comfort breaks" during the challenge.
His efforts are part of a £100,000 dementia appeal at Southend Hospital.
Mr Ovel worked on a 1:15 scale Lego model before constructing the real wheel, which was positioned at the top of the street.
His two grandmothers both had dementia, and Mr Ovel said it was a cause close to his heart.
"Believe me, I have no strong desire to run on what is essentially a self-powered treadmill, within a 2m high cage, in Southend High Street, over a busy weekend," he wrote on his JustGiving page.
"But, the more I think about the reason why, the stronger my will to attempt it becomes."
Mr Ovel fell to his knees as he ran through the finish time, saying he was "glad it is over".
He said: "At about 6am this morning I wasn't sure I could get back in the wheel but friends picked me up and told me to get on with it. I really appreciate everyone who has got involved."

Mr Santos called the development "a great step towards peace".
The ELN, or National Liberation Army, is not part of the peace talks with Colombia's largest rebel group, the Farc, but its leaders have expressed interest in joining the negotiations.
The government has insisted that the ELN must first release its hostages.
The left-wing group has around 1,500 members, officials say.
The 30-strong group surrendered their arms in the south-eastern region of Cauca.
Speaking in Cali, Mr Santos personally greeted the rebels, among them three pregnant women, who surrendered their arms and equipment.
"This is what the [peace] process is about. So every member of the ELN and the Farc follows their path fighting for their ideals, but without violence and without arms," he said.
This is the biggest single ELN contingent to surrender, Mr Santos said.
On Monday, Farc's chief peace negotiator said the armed conflict that has lasted nearly five decades was nearing its end.
Ivan Marquez, who is taking part in talks with the Colombian government in Cuba, called on left-wing parties and unions to join the effort to achieve peace.
The government wants to sign a peace accord by November.
But Mr Marquez warned against rushing into a settlement.
"It is possible [to reach an agreement by November]. But to achieve peace you need time. A bad peace deal is worse than war," he said in an interview with Colombian network RCN.
The first direct talks between Colombia's largest rebel group and the government were launched in November last year.
So far, however, the ELN has been left out of the talks.
Last month, in what was seen as an attempt to get the rival rebels to join the talks, the Farc issued a statement saying the two groups were discussing "unification".
Q&A: Colombia peace talks
But the government insists that the rebels must first lay down their arms and surrender all hostages.
The group recently released a Colombian soldier but is believed to be holding other hostages.
Chief government negotiator Humberto de la Calle said the aim of the Cuban peace talks was to get the rebels to give up their armed struggle and join the political process.
Agreement has already been achieved on land reform, but the negotiations are continuing on five other items on the agenda.
The Farc negotiator said recently that a Constitutional Assembly should be called to endorse the agreements reached in Cuba.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) are thought to have some 8,000 fighters, down from about 16,000 in 2001.
This is the fourth attempt at a negotiated peace deal since the beginning of the conflict in the 1960s.
Ryan McCord hit a hat-trick as the Red Lichties beat Elgin 3-2 while Forfar drew 1-1 at bottom side Cowdenbeath.
Cowden remain three points behind Berwick and Clyde, who fought out a 1-1 draw at Broadwood. Neither are yet safe in the battle to avoid bottom spot.
Annan Athletic sealed their place in the promotion play-offs with a 5-1 thumping of Montrose.
Rabin Omar, Barry Cuddihy, Steven Swinglehurst and Raffi Krissian put Annan four up inside 18 minutes and any hopes of a comeback were ended by Iain Campbell's 33rd-minute dismissal.
Peter Weatherson grabbed a fifth before Kerr Hay nabbed a late consolation for Montrose, who remain in fourth - a point ahead of Elgin in the race to claim the final play-off spot.
Elgin's Jamie Reid endured an eventful afternoon for the visitors at Gayfield Park, cancelling out McCord's opener, only to get booked celebrating and then picked up a second yellow seven minutes later.
Arbroath's Jassem Sukar headed a late own goal to set up a tense finish.
Forfar went a goal down at Cowdenbeath when Robbie Buchanan fired into the top corner but the hosts' Shaun Rutherford was sent off after 54 minutes for violent conduct.
Danny Denholm's low effort levelled the contest, but Forfar failed to find a winner in the last 20 minutes despite their numerical advantage.
A win for Cowdenbeath at Elgin in the final round of fixtures next Saturday could see the Fifers secure safety on goal difference if either Clyde - who visit Montrose - or Berwick, who host Edinburgh City, suffer defeat.
David Gormley's penalty put Clyde ahead at Broadwood, but Johnny Fairbairn equalised 10 minutes into the second half.
Edinburgh City, who ensured their survival with last week's win over Annan, moved further clear of the bottom with a 1-0 victory over Stirling Albion thanks to Derek Riordan's last-minute winner.
Bridge operators Amey said the problem was found during a routine inspection.
A contraflow is in place on the northbound carriageway to allow a single lane of traffic to flow in each direction.
Engineers were due on site at first light on Wednesday morning to do a more detailed assessment of the damage.
Motorists were warned to expect "very long delays" and avoid using the bridge if possible.
Mark Arndt, operating company representative, said: "We've taken the decision to close the southbound carriageway as a safety precaution after one of our engineers spotted a new defect to a piece of steelwork.
"Unfortunately this defect is located in a particularly hard to access area so the full detailed inspection cannot safely be carried out in darkness or during high winds. Our inspectors will however be monitoring the situation overnight and we will be ready to move in as soon as conditions allow.
"We apologise for the short notice to these essential traffic restrictions and are aware that they will result in very long delays, so our advice is to avoid Forth Road Bridge and divert via Kincardine or the A9 and M9, use public transport or travel outwith peak times."
Amey said it would provide further updates when there was new information.
The company said it sympathised with drivers who would be affected by the closure, but that "safety must come first".

Gulmurod Khalimov is seen in the footage dressed in black and holding a gun. He went missing in early May.
He says he joined IS in protest at Tajikistan's policy towards religion, which he says is anti-Islamic.
Hundreds of Central Asians are thought have left for Syria, but this is the first known case of such a high profile officer joining the militants.
The authorities in Tajikistan have refused to comment on his whereabouts since his disappearance, reports the BBC's Abdujalil Abdurasulov in Almaty.
Khalimov used to fight extremists at home and was one of the best trained officers in the country, our correspondent says.
In the video, which is believed to have been recorded in a Syrian camp, he says he plans to return to Tajikistan and "bring slaughter".
He voices his disillusionment with the Tajik police and talks about the hardship of thousands of Tajik working migrants in Russia.
The news of a high profile Tajik commander joining IS is bound to have shocked Tajikistan's authoritarian government. YouTube - where Gulmurod Khalimov's video could be seen - was blocked almost immediately. So far no officials have been available for comment.
It's an unprecedented case for Tajikistan.
Khalimov did not belong to the thousands of Muslims in the country routinely targeted by a government intent on fighting what it sees as extremism, but was part of the very security establishment meant to counter such threats.
Many in Tajikistan are puzzled by the speed of his departure; after all he was still working in the country in April. With Central Asian militants now battling Afghan security forces just across the border in Afghanistan, the authorities in Dushanbe will be extremely concerned about the wider implications.
Khalimov's position and profile are significant enough to potentially influence other members of the security forces.
There are no official figures for the number of Tajik citizens fighting alongside Islamic State, but in January sources in the security services were quoted saying they range from 200 to 500.
Central Asian fighters have also formed their own groups such as Sabri Jamaat and Imam Bukhari Jamaat, the BBC's Abdujalil Abdurasulov says.
Many of these militants have reportedly been seen in major battles in Syrian cities, including Aleppo, Kobane and lately in Palmyra.

BBC London reporter Sarah Harris reports.
The merged firms will operate under the Ryden name, with Mason Philips' London office becoming Ryden's base in the capital.
The deal significantly increases the size of Ryden's property management business in England.
It will manage a portfolio with a rent roll of about £40m, from 2,100 tenants.
Mason Philips provides specialist advice on UK commercial property investment and asset management to institutional, private and property company clients based in the UK and overseas.
As a result of the merger, almost half of Ryden's management income will come from English property, and about 20% of its total turnover will be generated outside Scotland.
Edinburgh-based Ryden said the merger formed part of its strategy for growth in England. Last year, it merged with Leeds-based asset management firm Hill Woolhouse.
Managing partner Bill Duguid said: "We have a large and growing number of English-based clients who know and value the service levels Ryden provides.
"It has been a cornerstone of our business planning over the last three years to continue to reinforce our market leader position in Scotland but also, beyond that, to grow the presence of our brand in England."
Ryden is one of the largest commercial property advisers in the north of the UK, with 35 partners and 110 staff across six offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Leeds, Dundee and London.
The resort cities of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee have suffered the majority of the damage.
More than four dozen people have been injured by the fire, and hundreds of buildings burned to their foundations.
Authorities say the fire is about 10% contained and "could still rear its head".
Over 14,000 people have been evacuated, and schools across the region have been closed.
As the flames die down in some areas, other risks to firefighters are becoming a greater threat, Gatlinburg's fire chief says.

"A new challenge that the weather is creating for us after the fire is we are experiencing some small mudslides and rock slides because there's no longer that foliage that's holding everything together," Chief Greg Miller said at a press conference.
Police raised the death toll to seven on Wednesday afternoon after discovering three more bodies.
They did not provide any details regarding the circumstances of the deaths.
Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters told reporters: "We certainly want to pray for those families, the folks involved in the fatalities. We continue to try to identity them. We haven't been able to yet."
Officials in Gatlinburg hope to allow residents to return to the town on Friday, but for now the mandatory evacuation order remains in place.
Gatlinburg Mayor Mike Werner called for tourists to support the area by coming to visit the region which includes the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and draws more than 11 million people annually.
"We're going to be OK - that's our message - we're going to be OK," said Mayor Werner, who lost his own home and business in the blaze.
"If you really want to do something for Gatlinburg ... come back and visit us."
Dollywood, the resort owned by country music star Dolly Parton in the mountain town of Pigeon Forge, was largely spared, though the flames licked its doorstep.
There is a rain system currently moving through the area, but officials fear that not enough will fall to stem the spread of the fire, which has already burned for several weeks due to drought conditions.
In other parts of the US South, severe thunderstorms and tornados have led to five deaths and dozens of injuries.
Anbang had raised its all-cash offer for Starwood to $14bn (£9.75bn) it sought to challenge the merger between the hotel groups.
However, the bid is being scrapped because of "market considerations" a statement released on Thursday said.
According to reports, there were questions over its financing sources.
Anbang has been making an aggressive push into the US property market over the last few years but little is known about the company.
The exit of Anbang from the bidding process means that Marriott is one step closer to becoming the world's largest hospitality group.
However, the whole saga has highlighted the growing role of Chinese companies in global mergers and acquisitions.
There have been $92bn worth of foreign takeovers by Chinese companies this year, according to data provider Dealogic.
Starwood - which owns several hotel brands, including the Sheraton, Westin and St Regis - saw its shares fall 4.5% in after hours trade in New York.
Marriott shares lost 5%, showing some investors may be concerned the firm now has to pay an additional $1bn to purchase Starwood because of the bidding war.
The European Court of Justice ruling instead recommends the introduction of alternative tax measures.
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon have both welcomed the ruling.
The legislation to bring in a minimum price of 50p per unit was passed by the Scottish Parliament in May 2012.
A legal challenge was brought by the SWA, which argued the Scottish government's legislation breached European law.
The European court ruling said: "The Court of Justice considers that the effect of the Scottish legislation is significantly to restrict the market, and this might be avoided by the introduction of a tax measure designed to increase the price of alcohol instead of a measure imposing a minimum price per unit of alcohol."
It added: "The court states that it is ultimately for the national court to determine whether measures other than that provided for by the Scottish legislation, such as increased taxation on alcoholic drinks, are capable of protecting human life and health as effectively as the current legislation, while being less restrictive of trade in those products within the EU."
Reacting to the judgement, Ms Sturgeon tweeted: "ECJ opinion on minimum pricing welcome.
"We believe it is most effective way of tackling alcohol misuse. National court will now decide."
Health Secretary Shona Robison added: "This ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union indicates, importantly, that it will be for the domestic courts to take a final decision on minimum unit pricing.
"While we must await the final outcome of this legal process, the Scottish government remains certain that minimum unit pricing is the right measure for Scotland. We believe it is the most effective mechanism for tackling alcohol misuse and reducing the harm that cheap, high-strength alcohol causes our communities.
"We maintain that minimum unit pricing would target heavy drinkers as they tend to drink the cheap, high strength alcohol that will be most affected by the policy.
"The case will now continue to the Scottish courts, and we look forward to a hearing in the new year to determine the outcome in this case."
David Frost, SWA chief executive, said: "The SWA always said European Union law issues were central to this case, and so it has proved. This settles EU law issues once and for all.
"The court has confirmed that minimum unit pricing is a restriction on trade, and that it is illegal to choose MUP [minimum unit pricing] where there are less restrictive ways of achieving the same end.
"The Scottish courts will now reflect on the implications of the ruling and all the evidence, before issuing a final judgement."
Plus ça change, plus ça même chose. Wednesday's ruling from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) is far from the end of a legal process which began in 2012 when the Scottish Parliament passed legislation allowing a MUP for alcohol to be set.
The matter will now return to the Court of Session in Edinburgh, which had asked the ECJ to rule on whether MUP contravenes EU law.
The Scottish judges will have to examine all of the evidence to help them decide whether improvements in public health - which the government says is the desired aim of MUP - could be achieved by other means, notably increasing tax rates.
Ministers have argued that MUP would specifically hit high-strength alcoholic drinks which cause significant problems, particularly among young people.
Whatever the Court of Session decides, it is almost inevitable there will be a further appeal to the UK Supreme Court, either by the Scottish government or the Scotch Whisky Association, whose challenge to the policy has halted its implementation.
Alison Douglas, chief executive of Alcohol Focus Scotland, said the ruling showed Scotland would be able to introduce minimum pricing "provided it is more effective than taxation".
Ms Douglas argued minimum pricing was a better measure than alcohol taxes, which are "limited in their ability to raise the price of the cheapest alcohol to a level that will actually reduce harm".
She also criticised the Scotch Whisky Association, saying it had "blocked the democratic will of the Scottish Parliament and sacrificed public health to protect their members' profits".
The chairman of BMA Scotland, Dr Peter Bennie, added: "The case for minimum unit pricing has always been based on the fact that it achieves what taxation cannot when it comes to reducing the harm caused by alcohol, so the decision of the European Court setting out the test that must be applied to the policy is a welcome one.
"Today's ruling returns the case to the Scottish courts and puts Scotland a step closer to implementing minimum pricing."
Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (Shaap), which represents medical professionals, also welcomed the judgement.
Shaap director Eric Carlin said it "effectively confirms that the Scottish minimum unit pricing policy has to be justified as a regulatory measure to work alongside taxation increases.
"We hope that the Scottish courts will now move quickly to gather evidence to conclude this case and that the Scottish government will then implement this key policy without delay."
Holyrood ministers have previously said minimum pricing was vital to address Scotland's "unhealthy relationship with drink".
Under the plans, the cheapest bottle of wine (9.4 units of alcohol) would be £4.69 and a four-pack of 500ml cans of 4% lager would cost at least £4.
It would mean a 70cl bottle of whisky could not be sold for less than £14.

Scott Ellis reports on the soldiers and air crews from the region were in the battle.
Last year, the tech firm acquired a 2,900-acre power facility in Monterey County, giving it 130 megawatts of solar energy capacity.
Now it has the go-ahead to sell that energy into wholesale markets.
Apple said renewable energy generated at the site could power 60,000 California homes.
"This is not the first time that Apple has invested in substantial quantities of renewable power and solar in particular, but it is a particularly large investment," said Dr Niall Mac Dowell, a lecturer in energy and environmental technology at Imperial College London.
"While other forms of renewable power, such as wind, are in general cheaper than solar, the fact that the cost of solar power is decreasing rapidly is also well-known and investments such as this one may help to accelerate this trend, which is also positive."
However this sort of power supply still requires backup, Dr Mac Dowell added.
"The caveat remains that both solar and wind power are intermittent sources of energy, and one cannot rely on them entirely.
"Thus, exactly as Apple is doing, some form of backup power is required. In the energy system as it currently stands, this back-up is largely provided by fossil fuel combustion in thermal power plants."
On Thursday, energy officials in Washington DC said Apple could sell its power at market-based rates.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission also noted that Apple owns a similar 20-megawatt facility in Nevada, as well as a 50-megawatt facility in Arizona.
Last year, Apple said the Monterey County site could supply enough electricity to power all its stores, offices, headquarters and a data centre.
James Court, the head of policy at the Renewable Energy Association, described Apple's investment as "a hugely positive step".
He told the BBC: "A decent-sized gas power station can produce between 200 and 400 megawatts, so Apple's capacity is sizeable."
Apple's $850m investment in the Monterey County facility was announced last year as part of the corporation's bid to reduce its carbon footprint.
Other major tech firms have investments in renewable energy.
In June last year, Google purchased 236 megawatts of energy capacity from two wind farms in Sweden and Norway.
Then in February, Microsoft announced it was experimenting with underwater data centres to reduce the energy consumed when cooling the facility.
Mr Court expects energy self-sufficiency will become more commonplace across businesses in the future.
"One of the growth areas in the UK is going to be companies self-supplying though solar power. I think we're seeing a rise of self-supplying already," he said.
The US owns 11% of the global solar power market, according to industry body SolarPower Europe. That's about three times as much as the UK's share (4%), and not too far off from the leading country China (19%).
Correction: A quotation that suggested the UK gets 0% of its energy from solar power, which appeared in the first version of this story, has been removed.
Robert Stewart, 43, of Duns, made no plea or declaration when charged with wilful fire-raising at the Newtown Street site on Thursday.
Bail was refused by Sheriff Kevin Drummond and he was remanded in custody.
The case, at Jedburgh Sheriff Court, was continued.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show a 22.3% rise in reports in two years.
Gareth Johnson, a Conservative MP in Kent, has called for a specific crime of pet theft to be introduced.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said courts were told to account for emotional distress.
Figures from police forces who replied to the BBC's request show at least 5,288 dogs reported stolen since 2013.
They indicate 1,490 taken in 2013, 1,599 in 2014 and 1,776 in 2015. In the first four months of this year, there were a reported 423 thefts.
Some forces reported the theft of several dogs at the same time as a single offence.
Thieves target Staffordshire bull terriers and tiny toy-designer breeds, like miniature French bulldogs, and pugs, popular with celebrities, the figures suggest.
Nik Oakley, from Dog Lost - which reunites lost and stolen dogs with their owners - said gun dogs such as Labradors, cocker spaniels, and springer spaniels were being taken for working purposes and illicit breeding.
Anna Rigano, from Forest Row in East Sussex, had her Jack Russell, Buster, stolen in March.
"I went to the field with some friends... I let him loose because I felt confident and he knew the area, and he never really goes away from me for very long.
"I started calling him and he didn't come to me, I think he was picked up because he was such a friendly dog and I've never found a body," she said.
Vet Louise Marsh, from Woking in Surrey, was reunited with her pet dog Toby after he was stolen from her street in 2014, and later dumped in a field in Kent.
The Border Terrier was discovered following a high profile social media appeal supported by the tennis player, Andy Murray, and the band, One Direction.
Ms Marsh said some were stolen because they were worth a lot of money for breeding.
"A British bulldog, for example, you can get £1,800 for a puppy.
"So if you can get hold of a British bulldog bitch, and get her pregnant, you're looking at thousands of pounds worth of puppies," she said.
It is a legal requirement for all dogs to be micro-chipped but vets do not have to routinely scan new dogs brought into their surgeries.
"Many dogs may stay lost or stolen until they actually get scanned by somebody," said Ms Oakley.
"We want it to be compulsory to all vets, local authorities, rescuers, to scan every dog that goes past them," she said.
Gareth Johnson, the MP for Dartford, wants the government to recognise the growing problem of dog thefts and the effect they can have on owners.
Mr Johnson said stealing a dog was currently deemed no more serious than stealing other possessions.
"It would be good to have a specific offence of the theft of a pet.
"Too often, the theft of a dog is treated in the same way as the theft of a laptop or a mobile phone," he said.
Ms Oakley added that Dog Lost would like to see custodial sentences.
The Ministry of Justice said: "We are aware of the distress the disappearance of a pet can cause, especially if there are suspicions it has been stolen.
"The maximum penalty for theft is seven years imprisonment and there are no plans to change this.
"The independent Sentencing Council recently issued revised guidelines for dealing with theft which make clear courts should take into account the emotional distress."

Police recorded 4,749 offences involving dogs stolen between 2013 and April 2016. The figures showed a rise of more than a fifth over two years.
They indicate 1,305 offences in 2013, 1,393 in 2014, 1,596 in 2015 and 394 in January - April 2016. Some included more than one dog taken. North Yorkshire Police provided a figure of 61 crimes over the whole period but did not break it down further.
Nottinghamshire Police recorded the highest rate of dog thefts between 2013 and 2016. There were some two dogs stolen per 10,000 people served by the force.
However, Nottinghamshire is one of 10 forces where the number of reported canine thefts has dropped.
In 2013, there were 92 reports of dogs stolen, rising to 94 in 2014. The following year it was 59.
The other forces who recorded a fall compared with their 2013 figures were West Midlands, Durham, Warwickshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Cheshire, North Wales and Gwent.
Two other forces, Kent and Devon and Cornwall, had the same number of reports of thefts in 2015 as they did two years previously. A breakdown was not available for North Yorkshire.
Of the 37 forces that responded to the BBC's request , 24 reported more thefts in 2015 than two years earlier. Ten saw a rise in both 2014 and 2015.
Norfolk, Dyfed-Powys, Northamptonshire, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Lincolnshire, the Metropolitan Police and West Mercia all saw rises in both years.
Of those, Norfolk and Dyfed-Powys saw the biggest percentage rise, with more than two and a half times the number of reported dog thefts in 2015 compared with 2013.
The number of reported dog thefts has almost doubled in Northamptonshire, up from 14 in 2013 to 27 in 2015.

Pietersen, sacked in February 2014, was told this year by director of cricket Andrew Strauss he would not play for England in the "short term".
However, Strauss offered him a role as an advisor on a board to improve the one-day side, which he turned down.
Asked if would now like to help, the 35-year-old said: "Of course I would."
He added: "I haven't got a clue if I will be asked but I don't worry about it."
Pietersen revealed he had been offered a coaching role by a national side apart from England but that the "timing was not right" for him to take up such a position while still playing.
The South Africa-born batsman last played for England in the final Test of a 5-0 Ashes series defeat in Australia in January 2014 before he was sacked a month later.
He then released an autobiography in October 2014 criticising several players, saying there was a "bullying culture" in the squad.
He now believes some players do not want to contact him as it would be "frowned upon".
"I think that it is a sad, sad state that the messages that I receive from some of the current players are that it is difficult for them to ask me questions and advice because they fear they might get into trouble for getting in touch with me," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"I know for a fact that there was a little bit of a worry that getting advice from me would be frowned upon.
"It's a sad position that with what I have achieved in the game with England that it seems to be sort of a no-go."
Pietersen reduced his Indian Premier League commitments this year and played for Surrey after incoming England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman Colin Graves suggested an international return might be possible if he were to score runs in domestic cricket.
But, despite a career-beat 355 not out for Surrey, Pietersen was told in May that he would not be considered for the Ashes and said his treatment had been "incredibly deceitful".
England won the Ashes and are currently playing a Test series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.
Asked if he held out hope of an England recall, he said: "It's something that has long gone from me now.
"I live every day trying to be better at stuff I do. If it happens it happens, if it doesn't, so what?"
Darren Barr had an effort saved as the Sons tried to force a lead.
Morton's Ross Forbes hit the post with 10 minutes left, Denny Johnstone firing the rebound wide.
Gregor Buchanan went close moments later at the other end but Derek Gaston was alert to smother the chance.
The Linen Green in Moygashel changed hands for "an undisclosed sum" to the Neptune Group.
The company, which has a number of residential projects in Belfast, said it plans to "rejuvenate" the outlet.
As well as shops, it also has restaurants and offices.
"We feel that the scheme still offers fantastic potential," said Patrick Heffron, director of the Neptune Group.
The Linen Green was first developed as a designer outlet in the early 1990s.
It was formerly owned by Jermon Developments, which collapsed in 2011, before being placed on the market by the Republic's National Asset Management Agency (NAMA).
Last year, NAMA's entire property portfolio was sold to the international investment firm, Cerberus Capital Management, based in New York, for more than £1bn.
The campaign includes a social media campaign and adverts in medical journals.
It comes as junior doctors in England are locked in a bitter dispute over pay and conditions with the UK government.
The Scottish health secretary said junior doctors were "valued members of our healthcare team here in Scotland".
Shona Robison also said they were "integral to our continuing drive to improve care to the people of Scotland".
Strike action planned in England for Wednesday could see thousands of operations, procedures and appointments cancelled, with junior doctors providing only emergency care over a 24-hour period.
The dispute centres on weekend pay and the point at which a premium rate of pay kicks in for junior doctors.
Ms Robison said: "I would encourage junior doctors across the UK and beyond to consider the exciting opportunities that the NHS in Scotland provides."
The campaign includes videos following four trainee doctors working in the Scottish NHS, as well as Scotland's top doctor, chief medical officer Catherine Calderwood.
These are part of the #juniordocscot social media campaign, which will run until 8 March - the deadline for submitting applications for medical speciality training places across the UK.
Ms Robison added: "These videos feature the real-life experiences of junior doctors who are working and training in our NHS right now. Their stories illustrate the fantastic opportunities for training available in Scotland - whether that is working in inner city communities or with remote and rural populations, all within a flexible and supportive training environment."
Dr Calderwood said: "I am delighted to be involved in this drive to encourage more junior doctors to consider the opportunities Scotland provides for their future careers.
"I am extremely proud of the strong record we have of delivering high-quality training, as well as our fantastic academic research and development opportunities.
"The NHS in Scotland has a strong focus on continual development and improving the quality of services we provide. We aim to grow junior doctors into the medical leaders of the future - providing opportunities for clinicians at all stages to deliver the highest quality of patient care."

The Englishman had made seven birdies in his opening round but could manage only one in round two, with two bogeys leaving him on five under par.
Australia's Brett Rumford improved on his opening 66 with a 65 to lead on 13 under par.
Scotland's Duncan Stewart moved up to 10th with seven birdies in a 65.
The event in Perth involves three strokeplay rounds and two cuts, before the top 24 contest a six-hole knockout match play on Sunday.
The top eight players will get a bye through to the last-16 of the match play finale.
"For any players, that's why it's going to be so unique and so interesting as well," Rumford told the European Tour.
"There's sort of cuts within cuts this week and if you're not thinking about it, maybe it's a good thing, maybe a bad thing, I'm not too sure, but definitely the top eight is where you want to be."
At the end of August, nearly nine in 10 (89%) schools were at least good at their latest inspection - up five percentage points on last year.
However, the gap between primary and secondary schools is widening.
The Ofsted data shows 90% of primary schools were rated good or outstanding, compared to 78% of secondaries.
Ofsted chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw has raised concerns about secondary education, warning in his annual report last year that there was a "growing geographical divide" in standards after age 11 between the North, the Midlands and the South of England.
The newly released statistics also show that more primary schools run by local councils were considered to be good or outstanding by inspectors than academies - state-funded schools which have control of areas such as the curriculum and staff pay and conditions.
In total, 91% of primary schools run by local authorities were rated as good or better at their last inspection, compared with 86% of primary academies.
Around 80% of primaries are currently under local council control.
"The increase in the proportion of good and outstanding schools is a direct result of the number of local authority primary schools improving from less than good to good or outstanding in 2015-16," Ofsted said.
The statistics coincide with a push by ministers for schools to become academies.
School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said: "There are now almost 1.8 million more pupils in good or outstanding schools than in August 2010 - including almost 420,000 additional good or outstanding school places in the last year.
"But we know there is more to do, and that's precisely why we have set out plans to make more good school places available, to more parents, in more parts of the country - including scrapping the ban on new grammar school places, and harnessing the resources and expertise of universities, independent and faith schools."
Malcolm Trobe, interim General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "The high proportion of schools judged good or outstanding reflects the enormous efforts being made across the country by dedicated school leaders and teachers in all phases.
"These outcomes are particularly impressive given that there is a crisis in teacher recruitment and retention, and severe funding pressures.
"We once again call on the government to urgently address these issues in order to ensure that schools have the resources they need to be able to continue to raise standards."
The regulator ordered telecoms operators to block mobile access to certain sites, reports AFP.
The government has banned protests, deployed the army and shut down the main independent radio station.
There have been days of protests over President Pierre Nkurunziza's decision to stand for re-election in June.
Social media messaging services have been used to coordinate the protests which are the biggest in Burundi since the civil war ended in 2005.
African Public Radio, known as "voice of the voiceless", is one of three radio stations whose live broadcasts have been stopped. The government said the radio station was disrupting the peace.
Mr Nkurunziza, a former rebel leader, has warned that anyone who wants to create problems for the governing party would find himself "in trouble".
At least three people were killed on Sunday as police dispersed crowds with live ammunition.
Under the constitution, presidents can only be elected to two terms in office but Mr Nkurunziza's allies say his first term does not count as he was appointed by parliament.
Mr Nkurunziza has been in power since 2005, when a 12-year civil war officially ended.
More than 300,000 people died in the conflict between the minority Tutsi-dominated army and mainly Hutu rebel groups, such as Mr Nkurunziza's CNDD-FDD.
The United States has condemned the president's bid for a third term saying in a press statement that the country is "losing an historic opportunity to strengthen its democracy".
Robert McGill, 23, is also accused of having a screwdriver and a large kitchen knife in a hospital.
The charges relate to an incident at Acton Street, where Mr McGill lives, early on Sunday morning.
The victim was taken to hospital with a stab wound to the chest. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
Mr McGill appeared before Belfast Magistrates Court on Monday, charged with attempted murder and two counts of having offensive weapons at the city's Mater Hospital.
A defence solicitor told the court: "My client is 23 and, unfortunately, there are some mental health issues which need to be explored."
Mr McGill was remanded in custody until 19 October.
Northumbria Police said they empathise with Sunderland and Newcastle United supporters as both teams strive for Premier League survival.
But they hope recent improvements in relations between fans will continue.
About 3,000 Sunderland fans are expected to attend the game in Newcastle's St James' Park.
Newcastle are second from bottom of the Premier League, one point and two places behind Sunderland who are just above the relegation places on goal difference.
Ch Supt Steve Neill said police will be present but fans will be allowed to make their own way to the stadium unlike in previous years when they have been escorted to the ground.
He said tension between the supporters has softened since two Newcastle United fans, Liam Sweeney and John Alder, were killed in the MH17 air disaster in July 2014.
Sunderland fans raised funds in memory of the pair and also paid tribute at matches.
Ch Supt Neill said: "In the last couple of derbies there has been a marked change as a result of fans having a bit of respect for each other but also because of the change in neighbourhood policing style we have adopted.
"We are aware of the relevant league positions and how important it is to both clubs and to both sets of supporters.
"We will show some empathy with regards how the result goes but we will still be very positive and engaging with people in the city."
Sunderland are running 25 free coaches which police are encouraging fans to use.
Both the Metro and Northern Rail will also be providing non-stop services between Sunderland and Newcastle.
Kick off will be at 13:30 GMT.
The blaze, at a two-bedroom home on Bond Street in Tunstall, broke out at 04:20 GMT.
Staffordshire Fire Service said an occupant had dropped a lit cigarette end or hot embers from an ashtray on a settee before going upstairs to bed.
Firefighters rescued a man and a woman from the house. They were taken to the Royal Stoke University Hospital.
The service said the woman had fallen asleep in the living room but was unable to escape as she could not find her key. They smashed the windows and rescued her.
Four firefighters then tackled the blaze using two hose reel jets.
They discovered a man in an upstairs bathroom and rescued him using a ladder.
The service said two Staffordshire bull terriers who were upstairs had died.
Both the man and woman were treated for smoke inhalation.
Station manager Neil Pedersen said: "The couple had an incredibly lucky escape and the situation could have very easily been catastrophic for them."
Manchester United's loan deal for Radamel Falcao will capture the headlines - but there were other vital issues to emerge as a hectic 24 hours came to a conclusion.
Here we look at some of the key points and who can emerge with satisfaction from this summer's window.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was under serious pressure to bring in a striker after Olivier Giroud was ruled out injured for three months - especially after Manchester United pulled off the coup of landing Radamel Falcao, who had been strongly linked with the Gunners.
And, after a day that started with Manchester United's England striker Danny Welbeck being linked with Tottenham, he ended up in north London with Arsenal in a deal confirmed at 01:00 BST.
Welbeck, 23, has never been a prolific goalscorer but Wenger clearly believes the raw materials are there to work with. It is a practical signing which Arsenal will hope develops into an excellent one.
The move brought a mixed response from Arsenal fans, who may have wished for a so-called bigger name, particularly the Old Trafford-bound Falcao, but Welbeck is an England international with an exemplary attitude and there is room for his game to grow.
There was an inquiry made for Manchester City's Matija Nastasic as Wenger pondered strengthening his defensive resources and some will question the absence of a powerful central midfield player.
Wenger, however, has a strict transfer policy of refusing to pay over the odds or simply making a signing for a signing's sake.
Now it is up to Welbeck to repay the faith - and there is every chance he will improve under Wenger's guidance.
Chelsea and Manchester City spent transfer deadline day pruning the margins of their squads, or in the latter's case accepting an offer from Valencia for Alvaro Negredo that includes an obligation to complete a 30m euros deal at the end of the season.
Both clubs had clear plans in place for the players they wanted to bring in, those they wanted out - with City also securing all of the big contract renewals for key players.
Chelsea moved swiftly to sign Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa, as well as defender Felipe Luis, so manager Jose Mourinho was able to enjoy a relatively relaxed deadline day. The main business was done.
Costa, in particular, and Fabregas have both made outstanding starts. It has been a smooth transition.
City's summer was well structured. Eliaquim Mangala and Fernando were earmarked some time ago and they were able to avoid any late panics or trolley dashes.
Like Mourinho, Manuel Pellegrini had his pieces in place and City were able to be part of the Falcao conversation without feeling the need to become more seriously involved, the deal pushed in their direction rather than the other way around.
Manchester United produced the most eye-catching piece of business as news broke early on transfer deadline day that they were signing Falcao.
The Colombian striker, who missed the World Cup with a serious knee injury, had been touted around many clubs and linked with Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Manchester City.
No-one can doubt Falcao's quality or pedigree - the main questions surrounding the deal are whether he is what United need and how manager Louis van Gaal will utilise him.
With the presence of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney, as well as British record £59.7m signing Angel Di Maria, Juan Mata and youngster Adnan Januzaj, Van Gaal has an embarrassment of riches that enabled United to sanction the sale of Welbeck to rivals Arsenal.
However, they have looked short of strength and numbers in central defence and central midfield. Have they put the roof on the house while the foundations remain in need of serious attention?
Van Gaal will be hoping Marcos Rojo's work permit issues are swiftly resolved to bolster United's defence, while AS Roma's Kevin Strootman will be a January target.
One solution may well be to drop Rooney into a deeper role and use Falcao and Van Persie as his main strikers. A nice problem to solve - but other problems may not be quite as palatable for Van Gaal.
Liverpool have been major players in the transfer window as manager Brendan Rodgers revamped his squad with the £75m he received from Barcelona for Luis Suarez.
Plenty of attention will be centred on Mario Balotelli after his shock £16m arrival from AC Milan and the early signs were good as he worked hard and well alongside Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge in the 3-0 win at Tottenham. Caution required though - Mario nearly always starts well before the rot sets in.
Rodgers has brought in nine players to flesh out the squad that performed so well to finish second in the Premier League last season and the likes of Dejan Lovren and Alberto Moreno, along with Adam Lallana and Lazar Markovic, will be important figures.
Spurs had trouble getting an influx of new players to adjust following the £86m sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid last summer - Rodgers will introduce his new faces more carefully and hope for greater success.
Southampton fell prey to rival clubs this summer with manager Mauricio Pochettino moving to Spurs and the likes of Luke Shaw, Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Calum Chambers lured away.
All eyes were on new manager Ronald Koeman but there has been a strong response on the pitch with an unfortunate opening weekend loss at Liverpool and a fine win at West Ham United.
Off the pitch Koeman has been backed with much of the money Saints brought in, with the £10m signing of Senegal forward Sadio Mane from Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg on Monday taking spending to around £75m.
There was much pessimism associated with St Mary's as the exodus went on - but the early signs are good that Southampton can move into the new era with confidence.

Hull City's transfer deadline day activity was proof of how far manager Steve Bruce has brought the club in a short space of time.
Uruguay striker Abel Hernandez arrived from Palermo in a club record £10m deal while the arrivals of Hatem Ben Arfa from Newcastle United and Gaston Ramirez from Southampton will capture the imagination. Mo Diame's arrival from West Ham United will beef up midfield.
Bruce did a superb job in establishing Hull in the Premier League last season, as well as reaching the FA Cup final, and these deals signpost the new ambition and hope under Bruce, who has a history of being able to persuade big-name players to come to his clubs.
The Russians have also been fined 150,000 euros (£119,000) following violent scenes at the game against England in Marseille on Saturday.
The suspended disqualification and fine relate only to incidents that happened inside the stadium.
There were reports of minor disturbances between rival fans in Lille on Tuesday evening.
Russia play Group B rivals Slovakia in the city on Wednesday, while England fans are congregating there before Thursday's match against Wales in the nearby town of Lens.
Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has written to members of the England Supporters Travel Club, asking them "to act in a positive and respectful way".
French authorities are increasing security before the games - 4,000 extra police and security officials will be on duty - and the sale of alcohol will be restricted in both Lille and Lens.
The BBC's James Reevell said although English and Welsh fans were singing boisterously in bars in Lille on Tuesday night, the streets of the city were calm.
Mobile phone footage posted on Twitter on Tuesday showed two sets of fans confronting each other outside a bar, with chairs strewn across the pavement on the Place de la Gare in central Lille.
However, other footage posted on social media showed fans playing football in a calm city square.
Meanwhile, groups of Russian fans are being deported from France as a result of trouble at the tournament.
A bus carrying fans was stopped in a police operation near Cannes on Tuesday.
Officials said 43 Russian supporters had been arrested and would be charged, released or expelled from the country.
Russian supporters from the bus were later transferred to a Marseille police station where the fans were expected to be held overnight.
Russia coach Leonid Slutsky, whose team still have to play Wales and Slovakia, is confident his squad will not be excluded.
"We are sure our supporters will not do the same and will not give any reasons to disqualify our team," he said.
Russia forward Artem Dzyuba added: "We're not at a street-fighting championship. Please, let's focus on football."
But he added Russian fans were not the only ones to blame for trouble.
"I don't really understand the reaction of the British media, who have this impression England supporters are like angels who just behave themselves," he said.
"You have to be objective, there is 50-50 in every conflict. I don't see that the Russians are the only ones at fault."
England were also threatened with disqualification from Euro 2016 but were not formally charged by Uefa.
New measures, including the alcohol bans, were announced on Tuesday after Greg Dyke, chairman of the FA, expressed "serious concerns" about the security situation.

The British government has said it will send more British police officers trained in football disorder to France before England face Wales.
England manager Roy Hodgson and captain Wayne Rooney have urged fans to "stay out of trouble".
And the FA says it has contacted the families of players to give them advice after the wife of striker Jamie Vardy was caught up in the violence in Marseille.
England midfielder Adam Lallana, who has friends and family coming to the match against Wales, said: "We've just got to hope the security is there."
Meanwhile, Slovakia football officials have urged their fans to avoid Russian and England supporters in Lille and Lens.
They say fans should not react to any provocation and to immediately leave a scene of a conflict.
Russia was given a six-point deduction, suspended for three and a half years, after supporters behaved badly during Euro 2012.
Russia can appeal against the latest Uefa decision, but although sports minister Vitaly Mutko, who is also president of the Russian Football Union, called the punishment "excessive", he indicated that would not happen.
French police blamed 150 "well-trained" Russian hooligans for clashes before Saturday's 1-1 draw against England.
Six England fans were jailed on Monday for their roles in the disorder.
Over three days of disorder in Marseille, 35 people were injured - most of them England fans - and 20 people were arrested.
French-led forces captured Kidal's airport last week but have not yet secured the town itself.
After Islamist fighters fled, separatist Tuareg fighters took control of the town.
UN, European and African officials are meeting in Brussels to discuss how to finance and organise rebuilding Mali.
One question is how to hold elections, which have been set for 31 July.
French special forces have had control of Kidal airport for several days.
By Mark DoyleBBC international development correspondent
It is no surprise that Chadian troops were used to help retake Kidal, the last major town held by the Islamists, and a key objective.
Battle-hardened and used to desert conditions, the Chadians are not part of the West African force that has been gathering in southern Mali to support the government army. The Chadians are, rather, directly backing their French allies.
The two armies have worked together before: France has a permanent military base in Chad, from which it is flying Mirage fighter jets to attack Islamist targets north of Kidal.
The French defence ministry said its warplanes had recently hit what it called Islamist "training and logistical bases" in the mountainous areas of Ageulhok and Tessalit near the border with Algeria.
It has been about two weeks since the French took control of the other two main towns in northern Mali - Timbuktu and Gao.
It appears that Kidal may have taken longer because it is the power centre of the ethnic Tuaregs who started the rebellion in the north last year before it was hijacked by the Islamists.
The Tuareg National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad has now tried to distance itself from the Islamist groups.
It is believed the French may have done a deal with them, so postponing till now the military occupation of Kidal by the French and Chadian armies.
But the Tuareg rebels did not want Mali's army, which has been fighting alongside the French forces, to enter Kidal - accusing its soldiers of killing Tuareg civilians in other towns they have recaptured with France's help.
The French intervened in January, fearing that al-Qaeda-linked militants who had controlled Mali's vast north since April 2012 were about to advance on the capital, Bamako.
The French-led forces recaptured the other main town in northern Mali, Timbuktu and Gao, without a fight.
Islamist fighters are believed to have fled into the mountains around Kidal, near the Algerian border, where French forces have been carrying out air strikes against them.
Correspondents say the rapid progress of the French-led force has put the diplomatic focus on how to ensure lasting security in Mali.
"The threat concerns all civilised countries," AFP news agency quotes Mali's Foreign Minister Tieman Coulibaly as saying as he arrived for the international support group for Mali in Brussels on Tuesday.
"The entire world must gather around us to chase the jihadists from our soil," he said.
Before the meeting began, one senior EU official told Reuters news agency: "When a state falls apart, it takes a while to put it back together again. Nevertheless, we need to try.
"In the medium term, we need to look at ensuring the north has adequate funds for development so the communities there can build real livelihoods," the official added.
The meeting will also look at how to fund, equip and train an 8,000-strong African force, which has UN and US backing, expected to eventually take over from the 3,500 French troops currently in Mali.
The EU aims to send about 500 military trainers to Mali by the middle of this month. Several hundred troops from Niger and other African countries have also begun to arrive to secure southern and central regions.
Funding for humanitarian aid will also be debated in Brussels. Aid agencies warn that food and fuel supplies to some parts of northern Mali are starting to dry up.
About 45 delegations are expected at the Brussels meeting including international lenders such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank.
EU foreign ministers have already agreed to resume sending aid to Mali gradually, having suspended it after the March 2012 coup, which allowed the rebels to seize the north.
Ellie-May Clark, five, and her mother, from Newport, were told to return the next morning by Dr Joanne Rowe because they were late.
Dr Rowe was given a warning by the General Medical Council (GMC).
Sir Donald Irvine, former president of the GMC, called for greater "transparency" in the case.
The GMC has apologised to the girl's family, saying it strives "to keep patients and their families fully informed" about investigations but failed to do so in this instance, adding that it would re-examine the rules around such cases.
It said it published the warning "on the online register for all patients and employers to see".
Ellie-May's relatives have called for a criminal inquiry into the doctor's actions, saying she should be struck off the GP register.
Dr Rowe, 53, who lives in Cardiff and has now moved to another practice, declined to comment when contacted by the BBC.
The warning she was issued by the GMC will stay on her record for five years.
The council said her conduct risked "bringing the profession into disrepute and it must not be repeated" but did not go into any further detail as to why it chose that sanction.
Sir Donald said a number of recent GMC disciplinary hearings had been heard in private with no clear explanation, in the same way.
"I do think, where hearings are in private, the council has to be extremely careful that it gives very good reasons and publishes good reasons as to whatever decision it comes to," he told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme.
When asked if he believed the details of the GMC investigation and "confidential" findings that led to the warning should have been made public, he said: "I do.
"I believe in transparency. This is a public record and I think that any relatives and any patients are entitled to have a very clear understanding of why the GMC reached the decisions it did.
"And where you have a situation where there's a reprimand, if it just appears out of the air, with no explanation as to why that is appropriate, that's very unsatisfactory."
Speaking at the weekend, Ellie-May's grandmother, Brandi Clark, 43, said of the GP visit: "They were a few minutes late and Shanice [Ellie-May's mother] even told the receptionist they wouldn't be there on time.
"But Dr Rowe sent them away. Her decision cost our gorgeous little girl her life."
As The Mail on Sunday reported, Dr Rowe's practice had been warned by a paediatrician that Ellie-May was at risk of a life-threatening asthma attack.
She was sent home from school early on 26 January 2015 because teachers were concerned her asthma was "deteriorating".
Her mother, 25-year-old Shanice Clark, made an emergency appointment at the Grange Clinic in Newport and was told to get there at 17:00.
This gave her 25 minutes to arrange childcare for her two-month-old baby and ask a friend to give her a lift to the surgery a mile away.
Ms Clark claims her mobile phone was showing 17:04 when she arrived, but that she then had to queue at the reception desk.
After being turned away, Ms Clark took her daughter home and dialled 999 at 22:35 when she suffered a seizure and stopped breathing.
She was taken to the Royal Gwent Hospital, in Newport, by ambulance but later died.
Dr Rowe was a senior partner at The Grange Clinic for 22 years where she was in charge of child safeguarding at the practice.
An inquiry by the Aneurin Bevan health board, which controls the surgery, also found Dr Rowe had "failed to make any clinical assessment".
After being suspended on full pay for six months, Dr Rowe has since joined the Cloughmore Surgery in Splott, Cardiff.
The health board said it had referred the matter to the GMC, which investigated it "in accordance with their procedures".
A GMC spokesman said that, if a case is raised by an NHS body, such as a health board or trust, it is currently only required to report back to that body.
However, if an investigation is requested by a patient or a patient's family, the GMC reports back to those individuals or their representatives.
Charlie Massey, chief executive of the GMC, said: "We strive to keep patients and their families fully informed about the progress of our investigations.
"We accept that this didn't happen in this case and we would like to apologise to the family for not doing so. We will contact the Clark family to discuss this further."
Mr Massey said a warning is issued when two case examiners decide it is appropriate and when the doctor has not disputed the facts.
"We publish the warning - detailing the shortcomings in the care provided - on the online register for all patients and employers to see," he added.
UK Sport has invested £350m of public money into elite sport since 2012 and says it could win as many as 79 medals when the Games begin on 5 August.
GB finished with 65 medals at London 2012, surpassing its previous best of 47 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
UK Sport wants at least 121 Paralympic medals to beat the London 2012 total, setting the target range as 113-165.
Paralympics GB won 120 medals (34 gold, 43 silver and 43 bronze) four years ago.
Liz Nicholl, UK Sport chief executive, said there was an "aspirational goal" to surpass both Olympic and Paralympic medal tallies from London 2012, but that it would be "incredibly challenging".
She added: "Those of us who were in London felt the impact of medal success on the whole nation. We felt the pride and how it brought people together like never before and it's something that was very significant which made people proud to be British, so there's a real opportunity that our athletes can do the same in Rio."
UK Sport director of performance Simon Timson previously said if the "stars align and things go perfectly", 79 Olympic medals is the maximum GB could win.
Team GB have selected 246 athletes so far, with the final number expected to be around the 350 mark.
Who is in the Team GB squad?
Timson told BBC Sport: "We felt a real need to galvanise and unite everyone in the high performance system behind a really ambitious medal target hence the aspiration to be more successful than we were in London.
"Of course as we've gone through that process over four years we've refined and honed the medal targets with each of the sports and the new insight that we have from a range of sources is that it's going to be a real stretch - 66 medals is still within range and it is possible but we know it's not probable. It's more realistic to target a historic best-ever away Games and better than Beijing."
In their home Games four years ago, Team GB finished third in the medals table behind USA and China with 29 gold, 17 silver and 19 bronze.
Sport statistics company Infostrada are forecasting GB will finish fourth in the Olympics Rio 2016 medal table with 51 - 18 gold, 16 silver and 17 bronze.
No host country has ever improved on its medal tally at the next summer Games.
Tim Hollingsworth, British Paralympic Association chief, said it was sending its "most competitive team ever to the most competitive Paralympic Games ever".
He described the medal target as an "ambitious one".
GB won six athletics medals at the London 2012 Olympics, including golds for Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Jessica Ennis-Hill. UK Sport has raised the medal target for Rio to between seven and nine.
Cycling, one of British sport's so-called 'medal factories', produced 12 medals at the 2012 Olympic Games, but UK Sport expects between eight and 10 in Rio. London gold medallists Bradley Wiggins and Laura Trott are part of a 27-strong team.
Timson said he had confidence in the sport delivering medals despite the recent resignation of British Cycling technical director Shane Sutton amid claims of sexism and discrimination towards elite cyclists.
"It's been well documented in recent months that cycling have had a few bumps in the road but they have responded very quickly," Timson said.
"They're creating a good environment which we think will lead to a lot of wonderful performances from our Olympic and Paralympic cyclists."
Another prolific 2012 sport, rowing, brought nine London Olympic medals and UK sport predict between six and eight this time.
Tennis and golf - which are not funded by UK Sport - have been set medal targets of between one and two Olympic medals.
Andy Murray won singles gold and mixed doubles silver with Laura Robson in 2012, while golf is back in the Olympics for the first time since 1904.
The GB team is Danny Willett, Justin Rose, Charley Hull and Catriona Matthew, while the sport has seen a number of its top stars pull out of the Games - citing concerns about the Zika virus.

Phillips has been partnering New Zealand legend Dan Carter at half-back for the French Top 14 club.
But the 33-year-old Welshman has yet to receive a fresh offer from Racing.
He told BBC Radio Wales: "I do really enjoy it at Racing and hopefully something can be organised there, but that's pretty much it, really."
Phillips also indicated he would be unlikely to seek a return to Wales, where he played for Scarlets, Cardiff Blues and Ospreys.
"I enjoyed those times in Wales and they're very special to me," said the 2009 and 2013 Lions tourist. "I like to keep on moving forward, really, not that it [going back to Wales] is a backward step or anything.
"Hopefully [I will] try and stay in Paris and if that doesn't happen, then see what happens."
Phillips retired from international rugby in December as Wales' most-capped scrum-half after being an unused member of Warren Gatland's 2015 World Cup squad.
Racing host Glasgow in the European Champions Cup on Saturday, with Phillips' former club Scarlets travelling to Paris on Sunday, 17 January.
The businesses all rely on the US company's cloud computing division - Amazon Web Services - to power their internet operations.
Amazon has acknowledged that some of its servers lost power early on Sunday morning.
This coincided with a major storm.
Local reports have linked the severe weather conditions to the blackout, but this has not been confirmed by Amazon.
Affected services included:
AWS's status dashboard indicated that its automated systems had managed to restore the majority of its affected compute servers within 70 minutes.
However, it noted that "a couple of unexpected issues" had caused problems to persist into Monday.
By this point, however, most of the affected services were working as normal again.
AWS is designed so its customers can choose to power their online services via several of its data centres at the same time.
In theory, this means that even if one site stops working, the client's online service should continue uninterrupted.
It is not clear whether the affected services had made use of the facility.
Amazon competes with Microsoft, Google and others to sell virtual computing facilities.
They suggest they can save companies the greater cost of building and maintaining their own servers.
Sunday's fault - and others before it - highlight a potential risk in centralising online services together in this way.
But one expert highlighted how quickly AWS had been able to handle its blackout.
"The speed at which Amazon got stuff back up and running is impressive and represents one of the big plus points of going down the distributed cloud route," said Chris Green, a tech analyst at the consultancy Lewis.
"When problems do happen, it can rectify them or shunt systems off to another data centre far faster than most companies could do in-house."
Several banks in Australia also reported problems with their apps over the weekend.
Some customers were unable to make online purchases, while others could not use smartphone fingerprint sensors to log into their accounts.
Melbourne-based Members Equity Bank blamed "server issues that have affected several banks following the storms on the east coast".
An AWS spokesman told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper that it was not involved with the banks' issues. | Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos has met 30 rebels of the ELN, the country's second largest armed group, who laid down their arms.

The Wallabies led by a point at half-time courtesy of the boot of Bernard Foley, after Dan Cole and Mike Brown had crossed for England, and Foley and Dane Haylett-Petty for the hosts.
Michael Hooper and Israel Folau tries cancelled out a Billy Vunipola score.
But Owen Farrell's boot kept England in touch and Jamie George's try helped them to a record score and a 3-0 win.
It was England's biggest ever points total against the Wallabies, and earned them the first 3-0 series win by a touring side in Australia since South Africa in 1971.

After their defensive heroics in the 23-7 second Test win last weekend the tourists were keen to show more of their attacking game in Sydney, and they duly delivered as what could have been a flat dead rubber turned in an epic encounter as both sides looked to move the ball at will.
It was not a day for the defence coaches as the sides shared nine tries between them, and in the end the difference probably came down to the narrow ascendancy of the English pack.
Shorn of the tackling machine James Haskell through injury, coach Eddie Jones turned to Teimana Harrison in his only change.
But the flanker was withdrawn after only half an hour, with Courtney Lawes coming into the second row, Maro Itoje moving to blind-side flanker and Chris Robshaw shifting to open-side.
And, with a steady supply of replacements reinforcing the visitors' eight, England finally killed the game off with five minutes remaining - the giant Taqele Naiyaravoro's try doing no more than applying late gloss to the scoreboard for the wounded Wallabies.
The game was tit for tat from the opening stages, with England prop Cole finishing off from short range a move started by front row colleague Mako Vunipola's barrelling run, before Australia hit back as the loping Folau beat Jack Nowell down the left wing and linked with Matt Toomua to send Foley cruising over.
Haylett-Petty soon strode over out wide on the right for the hosts but England went back in front as Brown raced on to Anthony Watson's classy chip.
With Farrell landing his kicks the visitors looked set to lead at the break, but a late Foley penalty made it 18-17 at half-time.
If the first half had been exciting, the second half was dizzying.
Billy Vunipola rampaged over from a five-metre scrum to put the visitors back into the lead, but Australia looked dangerous every time they managed to wrest the ball from England's grasp, and flanker Hooper stretched over before the Leicester-bound Toomua burst through in midfield and gave 6ft 5in Wallaby full-back Folau a run to the line.
Australia suddenly led by four points with 20 minutes to go, but replacement hooker George dotted down for England's fourth try to put them back in front, and Farrell's accurate kicking ensured the tourists finally pulled away.
His 79th-minute penalty gave them a decisive nine-point lead and although Naiyaravoro had the final word, the Wallabies had already had to accept they had been whitewashed for the first time by England.
England captain Dylan Hartley: "We have scored 44 points and not played the perfect game yet, so there is still a lot to work on. We can all be proud of what we have achieved down under. We are very happy with the tour."
Australia captain Stephen Moore: "To England's credit they deserve it. They've played well. They deserve to win the series."
England: Mike Brown; Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Owen Farrell, Jack Nowell; George Ford, Ben Youngs; Mako Vunipola, Dylan Hartley (captain), Dan Cole, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Chris Robshaw, Teimana Harrison, Billy Vunipola

Justices said Oklahoma could not execute Richard Glossip, John Grant and Benjamin Cole by lethal injection using midazolam while the case is pending.
The men's lawyers argue that midazolam presents an unconstitutional risk of pain and suffering.
The drug was used in three executions seen as botched in 2014.
Richard Glossip's execution had been scheduled for Thursday night while the other two were scheduled for lethal injection in the coming weeks.
Correspondents say the court's brief ruling left open the possibility that Oklahoma could carry out the executions using different drug combinations.
However, Oklahoma Department of Corrections spokesman Jerry Massie said the state has not been able to find an alternative drug.
The case is now due to go before the Supreme Court in April and be decided by late June.
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said: "I disagree with the necessity to grant Glossip yet another round of legal appeals. However, given that the US Supreme Court has decided to hear his case, it is entirely appropriate to delay his execution until after the legal process has run its course."
Lawyers for the three inmates argue that midazolam cannot achieve the level of unconsciousness required and is therefore unsuitable for executions.
They say its use amounts to "cruel and unusual punishment" which violates the US constitution.
Without the coma-like sedative effect, Oklahoma cannot ensure the prisoner does not experience intense pain when other drugs are injected to kill, lawyers argue.
The execution of Charles Warner on 15 January was the first in Oklahoma since the botched lethal injection of Clayton Lockett in April 2014.
Lockett's execution was stopped after 20 minutes when one of his veins ruptured, preventing the drugs from taking full effect. He writhed and shook uncontrollably after the drugs were administered and died of a heart attack soon afterwards.
Prison officials said Warner did not suffer before dying.
Sunderland Hospital is no longer taking new referrals and dozens of patients are having to be treated at other hospitals.
Sunderland's Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said it could no longer provide a consultant-led service.
But a spokesman added that patient treatment was not being compromised.
He said he hoped the service would resume soon, but it would take months rather than weeks.
Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust said it had had around 100 more referrals from the Sunderland area since the service was halted in December.
Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary said it used to have five referrals from Sunderland a month, but that had gone up to 50.
A spokesman for Sunderland Hospital said: "This difficult decision was made in the interests of patient safety as we cannot currently provide a consultant-led service for our local population, despite our best efforts.
"We continue to work to ensure local residents have access to a high quality local breast service.
"This is clearly not an ideal situation, but the quality and safety of the breast service that is provided to local residents is of paramount importance."
Hospitals taking on extra breast cancer patients include the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI), in Newcastle and Bishop Auckland General Hospital.
A spokeswoman for the RVI said the extra workload had not "compromised" treatment quality and waiting times were being met.
Judges at the Court of Appeal said the six year prison term that was imposed on James Richardson for killing Natalia Czekaj had been "unduly lenient".
The 35-year-old of Berridge Green, Edgware had admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
His sentence was increased to 12 years.
It is believed that both Richardson and barmaid Ms Czekaj, 34, were functioning alcoholics and had been drinking on the evening of the killing.
The court was told that while they celebrated, the jobless plumber took three knives from the kitchen and stabbed his girlfriend more than 20 times.
Richardson, who was found to be four times over the drink-drive limit, then called 999 to report the attack.
During the original trial, prosecutors had accepted James Richardson's alcohol dependency was a medical condition that substantially impaired his responsibility.
His defence lawyer had told the court although his client could not remember the killing, "his remorse and shock have been wholly genuine".
However, Solicitor General Robert Buckland said he had referred the sentence imposed at trial as he "felt that it did not properly reflect the severity of the case".
He said Ms Czekaj had been "stabbed in the back deeply enough to penetrate her heart" and her throat had been cut "so severely that all the structures of her neck were severed".
"I hope this increased sentence gives some comfort to the victim's family," he said.
An extended licence period of five years originally imposed at trial remains in place.
The Assembly's independent Remuneration Board is considering a change in the rules to allow AMs to claim more than £8,000 for Cardiff accommodation expenses if they live in England.
The idea has been criticised by Plaid Cymru AM Bethan Jenkins.
But the board said it is required by law to put in place financial resources to allow AMs to carry out their duties.
Mr Hamilton, the leader of the seven-strong UKIP group in Cardiff Bay and is AM for Mid and West Wales, lives in Wiltshire.
A consultation on the proposal is underway until 16 September.
Under existing rules, AMs who live in the "outer area" of Mid and West Wales and North Wales can claim up to £8,820 per year.
AMs are allowed several options which include claiming the cost of renting a furnished property in Cardiff, reimbursing expenses relating to a property in Cardiff used by a member, or claiming the cost of overnight stays in Cardiff.
Under the proposal, outlined in a letter to AMs from board chairwoman Dame Dawn Primarolo, this rule would be amended so those who live outside Wales would be eligible - extending the outer area.
The letter said the existing rules were based on the assumption all AMs live in Wales.
There is nothing in current legislation that says AMs should reside in any particular location "either when they are elected or subsequently", Dame Dawn said.
It is understood rules which reduce the expenses allowed if you live nearer Cardiff would remain under the proposals - effectively extending the outer area to England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Currently, members who live in the "intermediate area" of Gower, Neath, Swansea East and Swansea West constituencies can get £3,420 for overnight stays.
Those in the inner areas of South Wales West, Central and East can get "overnight stays in exceptional circumstances".
But Bethan Jenkins, Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales West, criticised the proposals.
She said: "I genuinely believe that AMs should live and work in Wales if they are serious about representing their constituents.
"If you live outside Wales how can you possibly be as in touch and as close to your community?
"If there were interim proposals in place to help AMs who live outside Wales to move here then I would be relaxed about that, but I am worried immensely about the precedent this sets - that it will say to people, become an AM for Wales and live elsewhere."
Labour's Llanelli AM Lee Waters said on Twitter: "Remuneration Board plans to let AMs who don't live in Wales to claim for [a second] home in Cardiff.
"Shouldn't be allowed to stand, let alone claim."
Dame Dawn said: "The independent Remuneration Board is required by law to put in place financial resources that enable assembly members to carry out their duties as elected representatives."
She said: "No member should be impeded from undertaking the role they have been elected to do.
"The people of Wales decided who they wanted to elect on 5 May and they expect the board to ensure that those 60 members have appropriate and reasonable resource in place to represent them to the best of their ability."
She said she would welcome "any comments" the public and AMs may have.
At the time Mr Hamilton became group leader he said he lived "less than an hour from Cardiff".
"For the time being I'm living where I lived for the last ten years," he said, adding there was a "big logistical problem to solve" about where he based himself.
A spokesman for Mr Hamilton has been approached for comment.
Messi and his father Jorge, who manages his financial affairs, are accused of defrauding Spain of more than €4m (£3m; $4.5m) between 2007 and 2009.
The authorities allege that the two used tax havens in Belize and Uruguay to conceal earnings from image rights.
The Spanish tax agency is demanding heavy fines and prison sentences. They deny any wrongdoing.
The trial is expected to last for three days, with Messi appearing in court on Thursday.
The income related to Messi's image rights, including contracts with Banco Sabadell, Danone, Adidas, Pepsi-Cola, Procter and Gamble, and the Kuwait Food Company.
Is Messi best of all time?
How Messi reached his 500-goal milestone
Messi's lawyers had argued that the player had "never devoted a minute of his life to reading, studying or analysing" the contracts.
But the high court in Barcelona ruled in June 2015 that the football star should not be granted immunity for not knowing what was happening with his finances, which were being managed in part by his father.
Messi and his father made a voluntary €5m (£3.8m, $5.6m) "corrective payment" - equal to the alleged unpaid tax plus interest - in August 2013.
Messi is the five-time World Player of the Year and one of the richest athletes in the world.
Diego Simeone's side were without seven players because of injury and suspension but strikes by Koke and Filipe Luis sealed a deserved win.
Koke capitalised on good play by Fernando Torres to put Atletico ahead after 26 minutes, while Torres was also involved for the second as Filipe Luis chipped home his first of the season.
Defeat leaves Malaga six points above the drop zone.
"We didn't make mistakes and when we got our chance in the second half, Filipe finished it fantastically," said Simeone.
"The 2-0 [scoreline] makes it look like something it wasn't. I always felt there were difficulties and danger."
Atletico move on to 58 points, above Sevilla who host Sporting Gijon on Sunday. Leaders Real Madrid, who have 65 points, entertain Alaves on Sunday, while champions Barcelona, two points behind, visit Granada.
Also on Saturday, Real Sociedad's hopes of a top-four finish were hit by a 1-1 draw at home to Leganes, who went ahead through Alexander Szymanowski. Juanmi levelled for Sociedad in the second half.
Eighth-placed Eibar maintained their hopes of qualifying for Europe for the first time with an impressive 3-2 win at Villarreal, while Athletic Bilbao were 2-1 winners at bottom side Osasuna.

Beto O'Rourke, a Democrat from El Paso, and Will Hurd, a Republican from San Antonio, had their flights from Texas to Washington DC cancelled due to heavy snow in the capital.
The two men, who did not know one another well, decided to share a car and make the 30-hour drive.
They livestreamed much of the trip on Periscope and Facebook Live.
O'Rourke called it "the longest bi-national congressional live town hall in the history of the United States".
They used the time to interact with their constituents and share their views on hot button political issues, from immigration (both men live along the US-Mexico border) to the terrorist threat posed by the so-called Islamic State (Hurd is a former CIA analyst.)
It wasn't all high-level policy debates. The men sang along to Willie Nelson, The Clash and Buddy Holly, and made several stops for coffee, burritos and donuts.
Votes in DC were scheduled for 630pm Wednesday night. The men left San Antonio at 7am on Tuesday and stopped in Nashville at 3am the next morning, after a day spent on the road and on camera.
"The last couple hours were tough," O'Rourke told the audience.
"You stuck with us, kept us company, suggested songs for the playlist, gave us some good questions. Settled the pie v cake dispute," he said, referring to a battle of dessert supremacy that ignited a lively debate.
While travelling, they received phone calls from current and former members of congress, including House Majority leader Kevin McCarthy, Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Wisconsin Congresswoman Gwen Moore, and retired Majority leaders Bill Frist and Tom Daschle.
The current elected officials who called in were asked to talk about a programme they were working on in Congress - and who they would choose as a bipartisan road-trip buddy.
"Joe Kennedy would be a good one - he'd have some good Kennedy family history and is a great guy," said Republican Randy Webber.
Though O'Rourke and Hurd both oppose President Trump's plan to build a wall along the Texas-Mexico border, they differ on several key issues.
"Beto likes to get the tank down close to E before we fill up," Hurd, who had a more conservative petrol policy, told viewers.
O'Rourke also prefers to drive without stopping, while Hurd favours more pit stops.
"Will wanted to stop at every school house along the way," and engage the students, O'Rourke said, but school schedules and their tight timeline made such a request impossible.
"It would have been fun, man!" Hurd insisted.
The men were not above stunts to boost their ratings - or ease the monotony of the road.
"We're at 600 live views," O'Rourke said on Wednesday morning. "We peaked early at 750 when Will was doing 20 push-ups in the Pilot gas station parking lot in cowboy boots."
As the day went on, viewership grew to as many as 4,000 viewers, helped by interviews the men gave to news programmes and shares on social media. They attracted comments from India, the UK and Philippines.
With three hours and thirty minutes left before votes in the House, their GPS showed them three hours away from Capitol Hill - but they would be driving through Washington during rush hour.
At 5:51pm local time, they arrived in front of the Capitol building, having reached their destination ahead of schedule and together.
"We always talk about the things that divide us, when we could be talking about the things that unite us," Hurd said during the trip.
"Even if we do disagree, we don't have to be disagreeable,"

Johns, 25, is undefeated in his 13 professional MMA fights, including his UFC debut in Belfast in November.
The Welshman takes on England's Entwistle at UFC Fight Night 107 at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.
"I'm feeling brilliant, it's an amazing atmosphere and I can't wait. It is a Battle of Britain," Johns said.
He added to BBC Wales Sport: "It's the first ever Wales v England fight and fingers crossed the Welsh will have that first win.
"It feels strange. This is a home fight for me but I'm behind enemy lines."
Johns had no problem making the bantamweight ahead of his fight, however his his opponent Entwistle came in 3 pounds over.
"I can't slate anyone for missing weight as I have done that in the past. It means that I get a bit of his money so I'm looking for a big pay cheque, now," Johns said.

Johns is one of 12 British fighters on the bill for the event as the UFC arrives in London.
It is the first UFC event of 2017 to be held in Europe as the sport looks to win more fans, with around 15,000 people expected at the O2 Arena on Saturday.
"It's a massive stage and will only get bigger from here, but I'm not looking forward to the fight or Entwistle. This is going to be a hard fight. Stylistically this is going to be a different match up but I'm ready to gom" he added.
"I'm going to punch him in the head as that's the only trick I've got, but tomorrow it will be 14-0. I will stay undefeated and the journey goes on."

An "administrative error" was blamed when the Trust claimed former director Leigh Dineen had been reappointed to the board without its consultation.
The club's new American owners had previously apologised to the Trust for a lack of communication.
Bradley hopes fans get behind the side for Saturday's visit of Crystal Palace.
"Supporters speak up and voice their opinions," he said. "It's all fair. They are the heart and soul of the club.
"But supporters also know that when that team steps on the field, for that 95 minutes, the only thing that matters is what happens with the result."
The Swans are bottom of the Premier League and five points from safety, having failed to win since the opening day of the season.
Bradley has not won in five games since succeeding Francesco Guidolin as manager while Palace have lost their past five games - conceding 13 goals - and are 16th.
"We're just focusing on making sure we put a bad stretch behind us and it's going to happen this week," added Bradley.
"There will be plenty of time for the other things to work themselves out. But let's make sure that the relationship between the team and the supporters carries us through this stretch.
"I want the players to feel that support and the supporters to know the players are going to give everything for them."
Swansea signed Borja Baston, Fernando Llorente, Alfie Mawson, Leroy Fer and Mike van der Hoorn in the summer, but Bradley will look to the January transfer window in order to turn his side's fortunes around.
"The discussions have been positive about identifying ways we can improve the team. The idea is that we are going to look to improve our squad," Bradley said.
"We have a road ahead that will require looking at all the possibilities and fighting like crazy.
"You can make cases for different parts of the field [where we need to strengthen]. Just before January we will make a decision."

Shares in the Canadian firm, which has been investigated over its business and accounting practices, sank 14% in pre-market trading.
Valeant posted a loss of $373.7m for the first three months of 2016, against a profit of $97.7m a year earlier.
The company's new chief executive Joseph Papa said it had been a "difficult" period for the company.
It now expects full-year earnings per share of $6.60-$7, compared with its previous estimate of $8.50-$9.50.
"The first quarter's results reflect, in part, the impact of significant disruption this organisation has faced over the past nine months," said Mr Papa, in a statement.
"This has been a difficult period for Valeant and its stakeholders, and while there are some challenges to work through in certain business operations in 2016, such as our US dermatology unit, the majority of our businesses are performing according to expectations."
Sales at Valeant's dermatology business sank 43% to $228.6m in the first quarter.
Mr Papa took over from Valeant's previous head, Michael Pearson, in May.
Last week, it emerged that Mr Pearson would receive $9m (£6.2m) in severance payments along with thousands of dollars in consulting fees.
Valeant came in for criticism for buying older drugs and raising the prices without investing in research and development of new drugs.
Earlier this year, the company's financial results for 2015 were delayed while Valeant's board looked into its accounting practices.
"We have made progress toward stabilising the organisation over the past few months, and we expect to file our financial results in a timely manner going forward," Mr Papa said.
Shares in the company have fallen by nearly 90% over the past year.
The violence broke out in Turpan prefecture early on Wednesday.
Police opened fire after a mob armed with knives attacked police stations and a local government building, Xinhua news agency quoted officials as saying.
There are sporadic outbreaks of violence in Xinjiang, where there are ethnic tensions between Muslim Uighur and Han Chinese communities.
Confirming reports from the region is difficult because information is tightly controlled.
By Celia HattonBBC News, Beijing
China's state media have been quick to issue an official version of events regarding the latest round of violence in Xinjiang, but it will be tough to verify those reports.
Xinjiang lies on China's remote north-west border and it is difficult for foreign media to travel there. Many people on both sides of the conflict are reluctant to speak to visiting journalists for fear of reprisals if they dispute the government's stance.
Unfortunately Xinjiang usually hits international headlines when violence flares between the region's minority ethnic Uighur Muslims and the majority Han Chinese. Many Uighurs contend that their language and religion are being smothered by an influx of Han Chinese migrants.
Xinjiang is a large geographic area rich in oil and gas deposits. Soon it will also become a major supplier of coal to China's energy-hungry cities. The region's fertile land also grows produce that is shipped to the rest of the country. The Han Chinese who move to Xinjiang hope to benefit from the region's untapped resources.
The violence occurred in Turpan's remote township of Lukqun, about 200km (120 miles) south-east of the region's capital, Urumqi.
The Xinhua news agency report, citing local officials, said rioters stabbed people and set police cars alight.
Seventeen people, including nine security personnel and eight civilians, were killed before police shot dead 10 of the rioters, it said.
At least three others were injured and were being treated in hospital, it added.
The Xinhua report did not provide any information on the ethnicity of those involved in the riot or on what sparked it.
But Dilxat Raxit, a spokesperson for the World Uighur Congress, an umbrella organisation of Uighur groups, told the Associated Press news agency the violence had been caused by the Chinese government's "sustained repression and provocation" of the Uighur community.
In 2009 almost 200 people - mostly Han Chinese - were killed after deadly rioting erupted in Urumqi between the Han Chinese and Uighur communities.
In April an incident in the city of Kashgar left 21 people dead.
The government said the violence began when "terrorists" were discovered in a building by officials searching for weapons.
But local people told the BBC that the violence involved a local family who had a longstanding dispute with officials who had been pressurising the men to shave off their beards and the women to take off their veils.
Uighurs make up about 45% of Xinjiang's population, but say an influx of Han Chinese residents has marginalised their traditional culture.
Beijing authorities often blame violent incidents in Xinjiang on Uighur extremists seeking autonomy for the region. Uighur activists, meanwhile, accuse Beijing of over-exaggerating the threat to justify heavy-handed rule.

Kenya missed a deadline last week to prove to Wada it was tackling cheating.
It comes after a spate of positive drugs tests among some of the country's athletes and allegations of corruption.
"We have to be much more proactive," said Coe, president of the sport's world governing body the IAAF.
Coe said he would impose serious sanctions on any nation guilty of attempting to cover up drug-taking.
Kenya is to be placed on a 'watch-list' of nations at risk of breaching Wada's code and could be banned from international competition if non-compliant, as happened with Russia's athletes.
"We know that a disproportionate amount of reputational damage is caused by a relatively few countries," he told BT Sport's The Clare Balding Show.
"If it means pulling them out of World Championships or Olympic Games then we will have to do that.
"I know the World Anti-Doping Agency has looked very closely at the Kenyan National Anti-Doping Agency. We, of course, monitor that through the IAAF, so that work is ongoing."
On Tuesday, the chief executive of Athletics Kenya said he wanted to step down temporarily amid allegations he asked athletes for bribes to reduce doping bans.
Isaac Mwangi denies wrongdoing but wants to leave his post for 21 days while the claims are investigated by the IAAF.
For several months, Wada has been trying to persuade Kenya to set up an effective national agency so more drug tests can be conducted, but progress has been slow.
The East African country, whose athletes are dominant in distance running, topped the medal table at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing with seven gold medals.

But since 2011, more than 40 of its athletes have failed drugs tests.
David Howman, Wada's director general, said "a fully functional" anti-doping agency is "a vital step for a country of Kenya's sporting stature" if it is to "effectively protect clean athletes".
He added that it must be established "at the earliest opportunity".
Meanwhile, former marathon world record holder Wilson Kipsang has urged Kenya's government to strengthen their fight against doping.
Kipsang, 33, is president of the Professional Athletes Association of Kenya and was among 80 athletes who met in Eldoret on Wednesday to formulate an appeal to Kenya's government to fast-track legislation criminalising doping.
He told the Daily Nation newspaper: "We must all step up the fight against doping because if we are banned, Kenya will never be the same again. This is a country which has made its name as an athletics giant."
Since 1945, the world's population has tripled to seven billion, and feeding that population has relied increasingly on artificial fertilisers.
Phosphates, among the most important fertilisers, come from an ore that is in limited supply. It is mined, processed and spread on to our fields, whence it is ultimately washed away into the ocean.
So what will happen if one day we run out of the stuff?
"Crop yields will drop very, very spectacularly," chemist Andrea Sella, of University College, London, told Wednesday's Business Daily programme on the World Service.
"We will be in very, very deep trouble. We have to remember that the world's population is growing steadily, and so demand for phosphorus is growing every year."
As Dr Sella explains, phosphorus is essential for life. The element - which is so reactive that it spontaneously combusts in its pure form - is used by plant and animal cells to store energy.
It also forms the backbone of DNA, and it is an essential ingredient of our bones and teeth.
Farming without it is not a realistic option.
While this may sound rather alarming, there are two important caveats.
First, the supply of phosphates is forecast to last for many decades, if not centuries, to come.
US Geological Survey
So humanity is at no immediate risk of running out of the means to feed itself, even at the current rate at which it is gobbling up phosphates.
Second, one of the biggest problems with phosphates over the past 60 years is arguably that they have been far too cheap and abundant.
There has been no incentive to use them sparingly.
Only a small fraction is actually absorbed by plants, and much is washed off by rain.
And this glut of fertilisers being washed into river systems, both phosphates and also nitrates, has created a nasty environmental problem - eutrophication.
This is where the abundant nutrients feed algae in rivers and ponds, creating blooms that turn the water green.
The algae then die, providing a feast for microbes, which in turn multiply and suck the oxygen out of the water, killing off all the fish and other animal and plant life.
It is a common problem in the lower reaches of major rivers such as the Thames and Rhine in Europe, and the Yangtze in China.
Similar algal blooms occur in our oceans, where large areas - notably the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Mexico - have become "dead zones".
Purely from an environmental perspective, the price of phosphates has clearly been too low.
Yet this now appears to be changing. The price of phosphate ores has risen fivefold over the past decade as demand, particularly from the developing world, has grown steadily.
Meanwhile, the cost of fertiliser production has also risen as the richest, cheapest phosphate seams have already been mined.
"Commodities are priced on the cost of extracting the next tonne that you need," says Jeremy Grantham, of US fund managers Grantham Mayo van Otterloo. "It is a hopelessly bad system.
"As long as we can mine a vital resource cheaply, we will price it cheaply, and run through the reserves until they become very expensive. And then we'll start to conserve."
There are various options:
And then there is the sewage option.
Why not just capture the phosphorus from our own waste and recycle it? Sweden and Germany have been leading the way.
There is also a cottage industry among the eco-friendly in Western countries of "compost toilets".
Now the UK's Thames Water is getting in on the act, launching a new "reactor" that turns sewage sludge into nice clean fertiliser pellets.
How much of future supply could ultimately be provided by recycling is open to debate - Thames Water says 20% using the current technology.
But perhaps the more important point lies in the fact that Thames Water and Canadian partners Ostara, which developed the technology, expect to make a profit.
This should come from selling the pellets as well as from saving the cost of cleaning and replacing pipes that have become blocked by a phosphorus-based sediment called struvite.
Any benefits, as far as the environment or the long-term sustainable usage of a limited resource are concerned, are but a happy by-product.
The important point is that it is the rising price of phosphates that has made it worthwhile to start recycling the stuff.
So should we welcome the higher price? Well, it depends who you are.
In general, the lower your income, the more of it you spend on food and therefore the more sensitive you are to the higher food bills that might come with more expensive fertilisers.
In other words, rising phosphate prices hurt the poor most, which is hardly a recipe for social cohesion.
And that goes for whole countries too.

As Jeremy Grantham points out, many North African countries depend on food imports, and rising food prices contributed to the discontent behind the 2011 Arab Spring.
One of those countries is Morocco, which by a freak of geography controls about three-quarters of the world's remaining good-quality phosphate reserves.
"Morocco has the most impressive quasi-monopoly in the history of man," says Mr Grantham. "It makes oil look unimportant in comparison."
That could make Morocco a very rich nation in the future, one that the rest of the world will be keen to court.
And it gives the country a great responsibility in pricing its product in a way that eventually weans the world off it in a manageable way - much like Saudi Arabia and oil.
Ironically, the higher prices that monopolists like to set may actually be what the planet needs.
But Morocco's unique position could also make it a centre of intrigue.
For example, much of its phosphates are actually located in the territory of Western Sahara.
It is occupied by the Moroccan military, which currently has an uneasy ceasefire in place with the local Algerian-backed Saharawi resistance.
This poses moral questions for the multinational companies that mine the stuff there, as well as some obvious strategic issues for the rest of the world about securing future food supplies.
Mr Grantham points out that half of nearby Mali - admittedly the sparsely populated Saharan half - was recently briefly overrun by militants affiliated with al-Qaeda, and he warns that Morocco itself may one day become the scene of rising social tensions, terrorism or revolt.
"I would almost guarantee to you that the major militaries of this world are well aware of this problem.
"They would not allow Morocco to become a hopelessly failed state," he says reassuringly.
"You don't want to look forward to the great fertiliser wars of 2042."

The document, photographed in Downing Street, proposes expanding current grammars before opening new schools.
It then raises doubts whether plans for more selective school places would pass through the House of Lords.
A government spokeswoman said it would be "inappropriate to comment on internal government documents".
"The cat is out of the bag," said Labour's shadow education secretary Angela Rayner.
Liberal Democrat education spokesman John Pugh said: "It looks like a desperate plan to avoid parliamentary scrutiny and their inevitable defeat."
The document, being carried into 10, Downing Street, seems to have been written by Jonathan Slater, permanent secretary at the Department for Education.
It refers to Conservative plans to "open new grammars", although with the provision that they would have to "follow various conditions".
Analysis: Education correspondent Sean Coughlan
What does this document tell us? And does it suggest that as well as more grammars, there could be a new style of grammar, admitting pupils on more than test results.
There have been concerns that grammars have a disproportionately affluent intake - and these "conditions" might suggest that new grammars might have obligations to admit more poorer pupils.
There are also hints at a difference in emphasis within Conservative ranks - with the education secretary wanting to expand the current grammars before opening any new schools.
A long-running dispute in Kent was resolved this year when an existing grammar school was allowed to open another branch in another town, on the basis that this was the expansion of an existing school, rather than opening an entirely new school.
Education Secretary Justine Greening is described as wanting new grammars to be presented in the consultation document "as an option" and "only to be pursued once we have worked with existing grammars to show how they can be expanded and reformed".
But the note says: "I simply don't know what the PM [prime minister] thinks of this."
And it says: "I simply can't see any way of persuading the Lords to vote for selection on any other basis."
Before opening any more grammars, the government would have to change the law, which at present outlaws the creation of new grammar schools in England.
If the government thought that this would face too difficult a path through Parliament, existing grammar schools could open such "satellite" campuses on other sites.
There have been suggestions that new grammars could be opened as part of the free school programme, which could be adapted to allow selection by ability.
The prospect of a return to grammar schools has had some strong support among Conservative backbenchers.
They have argued that admission by ability is more likely to promote social mobility, providing an opportunity for bright, poor pupils who do not live in the catchment areas of good schools.
But Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw said this week that the idea that poor children would benefit from a return of grammar schools was "tosh" and "nonsense"
Sir Michael said a return to selection at 11 years old would be a "profoundly retrograde step".
Labour's Angela Rayner said: "Behind closed doors the Tories are planning a return to the bad old days of grammars, ignoring all the evidence which has told us time and again that they do not aid social mobility."
John Pugh, of the Liberal Democrats, said: "This lays bare the desperate lengths the Conservative party are willing to go to deliver grammar schools through the cloak of expansion.
"The government should be ashamed of themselves. If they think this is the right thing to do, they should bring it to Parliament and win the argument."
But Graham Brady, a leading Conservative backbencher and prominent supporter of grammar schools said: "Grammar schools are popular wherever they remain and opinion polls suggest that 75% of people in Britain want more of them.
"It must be good news that the government is looking at repealing a statutory ban new grammar schools.
"Why ban something that is proven to work and popular?"
Mr Brady said grammar schools should be available as "part of the mix where parents and communities want them".
Kevin Courtney, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "Theresa May said on the steps of Downing Street that she wanted 'a country that works for everyone'.
"Yet now we hear of proposals to take education back to the 1950s, when children were segregated at age 11 and their life chances determined by the type of school they attended.
"Opening new grammar schools would not only be a backward step but is also a complete distraction from the real problems facing schools and education. For every grammar school there are three or four 'secondary modern' schools."
A government spokeswoman said: "The prime minister has been clear that we need to build a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few.
"We are looking at a range of options to allow more children to access a school that lets them rise as far as their talents will take them.
"Policies on education will be set out in due course, and it would be inappropriate to comment further on internal government documents."
The epicentre of the tremor was detected near Reepham, about five miles (8km) east of Lincoln, at 14:15 BST on Monday.
"People in the area may have heard a bang or felt a shudder for a second or two," said seismologist David Galloway.
Maxine Soroka, of Langworth, said: "I heard it and the house shook, but I had no idea what it was until this morning."
"My parents who live in Reepham said they also heard and felt it," she added.
Lincolnshire Police said it did not receive any reports of damage.
About 250 to 300 earthquakes hit the UK each year, although most go unnoticed by the public, according to British Geological Survey seismologist Mr Galloway.
In 2008, a 5.2-magnitude quake hit Market Rasen - 32,000 times more powerful than the tremor on Monday.
A small number of specially-trained officers in the area have been routinely carrying side-arms since before April last year.
Police in the former Strathclyde and Tayside forces also allowed specialist officers to routinely carry guns before the launch of the new single force.
Police Scotland has adopted the approach across the country.
Fifty nine Highland councillors support a motion by the local authority's depute leader, David Alston, calling for the policy to be reviewed.
Earlier this month, the officer in charge of policing in the Highlands and Islands said he could have done more to make the public aware of changes to firearms policy.
Ch Supt Julian Innes said he "probably had not explained" the police tactic as well as could have.
He told BBC Radio Scotland officers had been carrying Tasers and holstered handguns for 13 months before it had become an issue.
A political row over specially-trained officers routinely carrying side-arms started in May when Independent MSP John Finnie raised concerns about the change in policy.
He said previously firearms officers had to retrieve their weapons from locked safes in armed response vehicles with permission from a senior officer.
Mr Finnie said following the change in policy there had been occasions when firearms officers had supported unarmed police on routine duties, such as dispersing late night crowds from outside pubs and clubs.
The search was part of an investigation into an allegedly fake job given to his wife. He denies any wrongdoing.
Mr Fillon has vowed to continue his presidential campaign, despite growing pressure for him to step down.
He was once seen as the favourite to win the election but his poll ratings have dropped since the scandal emerged.
The allegations circling around the Fillon family focus mainly on his Welsh-born wife Penelope, who is also reported to be facing an investigation.
The Le Canard Enchaine newspaper alleges she was paid €831,400 (£710,000; $900,000) over several years for working as a parliamentary assistant for Mr Fillon and his successor, but had no parliamentary pass - raising questions over whether she did the work she was paid for.
The raid on Thursday morning happened as the candidate visited winegrowers in southern France. His parliamentary office had already been searched last month.
Many on the right will see the operation as another sign of how the scandal has totally eclipsed Mr Fillon's ability to run a campaign, the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris reports.
For the first time since the affair broke out a month ago, there is open dissension in the ranks about his candidacy, our correspondent adds.
Senior Republicans have gathered support for ex-Prime Minister Alain Juppe, 71, who was defeated by Mr Fillon in the primaries.
On Thursday evening, thousands of supporters turned out to his rally in the town of Nimes. "You have a fighter before you," Mr Fillon told a cheering crowd. "I have no intention of giving in."
On Wednesday, Mr Fillon said he had been summoned to appear before a judge over the case.
He complained he was the victim of a "political assassination", and vowed to continue his run for president - despite previously pledging to stand down if his case was placed under formal investigation.
Following his announcement, several key allies resigned, including his foreign affairs spokesman and deputy campaign director.
Mr Fillon will appear in court on 15 March, just two days before the deadline for candidates to submit their final applications.
The first round of the election takes place on 23 April, followed by a run-off on 7 May.
Jan Jedrzejewski, 41, died in hospital after being found on Keene Street, Lliswerry, last Thursday at 23:00 GMT.
Richard Wallis, 43, Shaquile Crosdale, 18, and Callum Banton, 18, were charged with murder and remanded in custody at Newport Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
A boy, aged 17, appeared separately and was remanded in youth custody.
All four will go before the city's crown court on Wednesday.
Experts say many children do not get a proper workout which helps them develop coordination, strength and agility.
The British Association of Sports and Exercise Medicine wants all schools to use a short exercise routine called "five-in-five".
But the government said PE was a matter for individual schools.
Specialists in sports and exercise medicine say that too often PE lessons focus on developing sports skills rather than encouraging flexibility and movement.
The British Association of Sports and Exercise Medicine (BASEM) has endorsed a quick training programme designed to address this.
Five-in-five provides five exercises in five minutes. A leading international sports coach, Kelvin Giles, has devised more than 20 five-minute routines.
He has worked with elite sports men and women around the world, from athletics and rugby to football and tennis.
"Catastrophic" fitness
He also spends a lot of time in schools, and said PE lessons in the UK do not give children a proper workout.
Zoe Biggs started the programme with her class of nine and 10-year-olds at Camps Hill Primary School in Stevenage last year.
The children have been delighted as their fitness has improved.
"Some of them really struggled at the beginning, and once they worked at it and persevered they really came alight," said Ms Biggs.
"They looked so happy they could do it and they'd achieved it and done it themselves."
Progress was closely monitored through the academic year.
The improvements - in terms of flexibility, co-ordination and strength - were dramatic.
Children said they enjoyed it.
"It's quite hard at first but when you do lots it's actually quite easy," said one.
Another said it was fun, but confessed that it sometimes left him feeling "hot and bothered".
They have worked their way through several sets of exercises, many of them with catchy names such as "upside-down bug" or "hot-foot lizard".

"Out of the 40 minutes there's eight minutes of activity going on. Very often the kids are standing around and just listening to the teacher talk. So heart rates aren't being raised. Mechanical efficiency isn't being looked at."
As a result, he says, the level of fitness in most children is "catastrophic".
The five-in-five routines involve squatting, lunging, pushing, bracing and rotating.
"You can get stronger, you can get more stable, you can have a much better posture, by exposing yourself to five minutes a day," said Mr Giles.
The initiative has won the backing of the UK's leading sports doctors. To mark its annual conference in London, the British Association of Sports and Exercise Medicine has called on UK governments to incorporate the programme in all schools.
The Association's chairman is former Olympic gold medallist rower, and chief medical officer for the London Olympics, Dr Richard Budgett. He is deeply concerned about PE in schools.
"If you're not a natural athlete, not attracted to sport and exercise, there is a real problem. It's very easy to drop out."
"By using a programme like five-in-five in schools we can get young people with the skills that they can then use as they get older. So they can keep fit, keep their joints working properly and prevent all sorts of diseases, from osteoarthritis through to diabetes and heart disease."
The Department for Education in England says it will be up to schools to decide if they want to adopt this.
It wants them to focus more on competitive sport. Sports physicians say five-in-five will help gifted children to excel, while ensuring all receive a proper physical education.
Webb, 27, has not played since injuring a foot during a World Cup warm-up match against Italy in September.
Wales begin their Six Nations campaign with an away match against Ireland in Dublin on Sunday, 7 February.
Ospreys will also be without back row Tyler Ardron for eight weeks because of a knee injury.
The 24-year-old, who was injured while playing for Canada at the World Cup, had surgery in October.
Ospreys had hoped Webb would make an early return from injury and be available this month.
But, though he has returned to training, he is still short of match fitness.
"His recovery is going well and we're now concentrating on getting him to the physical level he needs to be in order to perform as we want," said Chris Towers, Ospreys' medical performance manager.
"He has begun running again, starting doing some skills work, and the focus is on getting him available for selection at the end of February, which would be five months post-op."
Webb, capped 16 times by Wales, has renewed his national dual contract with Ospreys and the Welsh Rugby Union.
He turned down offers from elsewhere to stay at the region for whom he made his debut in 2007.
The streets of Savile Town in Dewsbury are quiet. A couple of homeowners are tending the neat gardens of these tidy terraced houses and an elderly woman laden with carrier bags makes her way back from the corner shop.
Nobody is willing to share their views on the death of Talha Asmal, a seventeen year old who has reportedly carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq.
In the town centre, away from the teenager's former home, people are more willing to talk.
Sidra Hussain, 21, said: "I believe that if you follow Islam, you can't even take your own life, you know it's the wrong path.
"I'm a Muslim and [what he's done] isn't something I approve of. Islam is about peace and what Isis is doing isn't a reflection of that.
"That young lad was probably gullible and led into it. I think everybody in the community, not just Muslims, need to [stick] together."
"People think they're doing something good, but they aren't. The true meaning of what these youngsters are led into [is something] they don't understand."
Qari Asim, an Imam in Leeds, said radicalisation was not taking place in mosques, but young people were being "brainwashed" online by people for their own "political aims and gains".
Sarah Hussain, 22, said the knowledge the teenager was lured to Syria by Islamic State was "scary".
"I just want everything like that to end, I want Dewsbury to get back to normal," she said.
It's not the first time this West Yorkshire market town has been under scrutiny.
In July 2005, Mohammad Sidique Khan, a 30-year-old married father-of-one, was the oldest of the four suicide bombers who attacked London's transport network. The classroom assistant detonated enough explosives on a Circle Line underground train near Edgware Road to kill himself and six others.
Then, in 2008 Shannon Matthews, "disappeared" from her home in Batley Carr - only to be found three weeks later in her stepfather's uncle's house.
The area has struggled to shake off its bad reputation ever since, said a man, who gave his name as Tom.
"There's nothing in the last few years that's been said about Dewsbury that's good," he said. "It's embarrassing for the town and the community and [this] doesn't paint the town in a good light."
Referring to Talha Asmal, he said: "People have their religions and their beliefs and some are just brainwashed and that's what happened with this lad. He will have thought he was doing it for the greater good.
"But he hasn't become a martyr, he's become a statistic."
What's important to remember is the number of those leaving the country for Syria are small, said Professor Paul Rogers, from Bradford University.
"IS presents itself as a guardian of Islam and for a tiny proportion of people it gets through to them, and IS manipulates them particularly for suicide bombing," he said.
"You can't explain who will do it and in the great majority of cases, family have no knowledge this is going on."
But what can be done to stop another youngster following Talha's lead?
"We've got to get to the root of it," says one man, who wished to remain anonymous. "Communities can't do anything, they can go out and go on demonstrations, but Imams and political leaders need to clean all this rubbish out.
"It gives us a bad name, it gives the town a bad name."
In July, the government announced that all sales of new petrol and diesel cars in the UK will cease by 2040. Volvo, meanwhile, has said every vehicle it launches from 2019 will have an electric motor.
The National Grid predicts that by 2050, there could be up to 26 million electric vehicles on the road in the UK.
They'll all need charging regularly if we're to stay on the move, so how might our homes, roads and forecourts adapt to this exhaust-free future?
The short answer from the National Grid is yes.
How you access that electricity is what requires some thinking.
A top-of-the-range electric car will have a battery capacity of 90kWh. Using an average sized charger (3.5kW) it would take around 19 hours to go from 25% to fully charged.
That's a long time to wait to nip to the shops, but charging time can be cut dramatically by using a larger charger - ideally, you'd plug in something hefty with up to 50kW to reduce the time to about 80 minutes.
However, chargers that big aren't suitable for an average home - a more likely option would be a charger of about 11kW.
A typical home is fitted with a main fuse of 60-80 amps, and the National Grid points out that an 11kW car charger would require 48 amps.
That means using a kettle, oven or immersion heater during charging would cause the main fuse to trip.
So no cuppa while you wait?
Well, one solution could be to increase the amperage of your main fuse.
Only the distribution network operators can do this - as opposed to an electrician or your supplier - and the cost can vary depending on the age of a property.
With a 100 amp fuse, a 22kW charger could be used which would have a faster charge time of around three hours.
This would, however, still require all other electrical appliances in the house to be turned off during charging.
The National Grid predicts that by 2050, if there are 20 million electric cars on the road, about 8.5 million of them will not have the facilities to charge at home.
And for the aforementioned reasons - primarily the need for a cuppa or a hot bath - home charging won't always be the preferred option.
There are currently more than 4,700 locations with charging points around the UK, according to website Zap-Map.com.
New locations are being added daily - with an increase of 480 in the past 30 days alone.
This trend looks set to continue, with petrol stations and motorway services due to be made to install charge points, under the government's Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill.
Electric charging company Ubitricity has begun installing charge points in adapted lamp posts in parts of London.
The posts are fitted with with a charging point which uses the electricity source for the lamp.
This provides on-street parking for electric car users - and uses an established electricity network.
Ubitricity argues it reduces the cost of installing an electric charging point by 90%. The company charges 13p per killowatt hour.
Suppliers such as Ecotricity - who currently have 300 "pumps" in the UK - also offer faster charging points. And car manufacturers themselves are working together to create charging networks.
Smart charging, which intelligently controls when vehicles draw electricity from the grid to avoid peaks and troughs, is one way of managing consumption.
This will be vital, according to think tank Green Alliance, who are warning of potential localised "brown-outs" - a drop in voltage of supply - in wealthier areas where initial electric vehicle take-up will be higher.
It cites an example of "responsive charging" in California, where internet connected chargers respond to signals by reducing or cutting off car charging if the grid is unstable.
The National Grid has set out how it thinks the UK's infrastructure could be reconfigured to cope with a world in which almost all cars will be electric.

The double Six Nations Grand Slam winner is joined by fellow Welshmen John Dawes and Arthur Gould.
Jonny Wilkinson is one of four English players inducted, along with former team-mates Jeremy Guscott and Lawrence Dallaglio and 2014 Women's World Cup winner Maggie Alphonsi.
Former Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll is also on the list.
Scotland's 1925 Grand Slam-winning captain GPS Macpherson, former Canada wing and Winter Olympic bobsleigh gold medalist Heather Moyse, ex-Japan wing and world-record try-scorer Daisuke Ohata and Daniel Collins - a former Australia and USA international and World War I lieutenant - are the other inductees.
O'Driscoll is recognised for a stellar career during which he led Ireland to their first Six Nations grand slam in 61 years and became his country's record try-scorer and cap-holder with 46 tries in 133 Tests.
Wilkinson is England's record points-scorer and his extra-time drop-goal against Australia clinched the 2003 World Cup for a team which also included number eight Dallaglio.
Centre Guscott's crowning moment was also a drop-goal, as his for the British and Irish Lions against South Africa in 1997 set them up for a series win.
Alphonsi was a key member of the England side that dominated the Six Nations with seven straight titles - six of them Grand Slams - between 2006 and became the first female recipient of the Rugby Writers' prestigious Pat Marshall Award.
As a player, Dawes led Wales to a Grand Slam in 1971 and the Lions to their first series win in New Zealand. As Wales coach, he guided his country to two more Grand Slams in 1976 and 1978.
A charismatic back, Gould was captain for 18 of his 27 Wales caps - a record that lasted almost a century. He retired in 1897 and remained Wales' most-capped centre until overtaken by Steve Fenwick in 1980.
The full list of new inductees (with induction number and country) is:
Brian O'Driscoll (121, Ireland), Shane Williams (122, Wales), Jeremy Guscott (123, England), Lawrence Dallaglio (124, England), Heather Moyse (125, Canada), John Dawes (126, Wales), GPS Macpherson (127, Scotland), Arthur Gould (128, Wales), Jonny Wilkinson (129, England), Daniel Carroll (130, Australia and USA), Daisuke Ohata (131, Japan) and Maggie Alphonsi (132, England). | England completed a series whitewash in Australia with victory in a pulsating third and final Test in Sydney.

Iran had agreed to provide information to help allay concerns about a military dimension to its programme, but had failed to do so, the IAEA reported.
These include suspected work on detonators which can set off nuclear bombs and high explosive charges.
It comes weeks before a deadline for Iran and world powers to reach a final deal to resolve the nuclear issue.
The US, EU and other powers suspect Iran is secretly seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has strongly denied the charge, insisting its programme is purely for peaceful purposes.
Since the election of President Hassan Rouhani last year, Iran has promised to further co-operate with the IAEA.
Last November, Iran and the IAEA reached an agreement which outlined how Iran would co-operate with the agency's investigations into Iran's past nuclear activities and address the agency's concerns.
In an IAEA report released on Friday, the agency said that some of five steps that were meant to be completed by 25 August had been missed.
It also said more activity had been conducted at a military base in Parchin, where research on developing nuclear weapons is alleged to have taken place.
"These activities are likely to have further undermined the agency's ability to conduct effective verification," the AFP news agency quotes the report as saying.
The IAEA negotiations are separate from a parallel diplomatic process between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the US, Russia, China, Britain and France - plus Germany, known at the 5+1 group.
Two months ago, they agreed to extend the deadline from 20 July to 24 November to reach a comprehensive agreement under which Iran would curb its nuclear activities in exchange for the easing of economic sanctions.
US and Iranian officials are currently meeting in Geneva to hammer out a deal.
Sir David, who famously sold the Ibrox side for £1 to Craig Whyte, was told by Lloyds Banking Group that he could retain ownership of his metals business if he sold Rangers and reduced the club's debts.
Mr Whyte is accused of a fraudulent acquisition of Rangers.
He denies a charge of fraud and another under the Companies Act.
The High Court in Glasgow heard a second day of testimony from Ian Shanks, a relationship director with Lloyds Banking Group.
During cross-examination with Craig Whyte's defence QC, Donald Findlay, Mr Shanks said the bank had told David Murray that he could split Murray Metals from his wider company interests and retain ownership of the business on the condition that he sold Rangers and repaid its debts.
The court heard claims that the metals business was important to Sir David as it was where the tycoon made his fortune.
In an email dated from April 2010, Mr Shanks wrote: "When we did the Murray Group restructuring last year, we agreed that the metals business could be 'spun out' to David once he sold his shares in Rangers."
The court was told that the bank gave Sir David a year to sell the Ibrox side and pay off its debts, which included an £18m overdraft.
Donald Findlay put it to Mr Shanks that: "That's an incentive, surely, to get the deal done."
Mr Shanks replied: "I agree."
The trial was later told of a draft letter written by Alastair Johnston, who was then chairman of Rangers, for Mr Shanks in January 2011.
In the letter, Johnston claimed the Rangers board were "masquerading as directors", effectively "stooges" for the "objective" of the bank.
He then insisted Lloyds wanted to "drain every single penny out of the club... to the extent Rangers as a thriving concern would be throttled into submission".
The then chairman spoke of "carnage" and referred to the "impoverished remains" of the club.
He also described the "head count" of the playing squad as "dangerously under water".
The banker told the court he did not remember receiving the letter.
But, Mr Findlay asked: "The approach of Alastair Johnston was 'this was everybody's fault, but mine'?"
Mr Shanks: "That is a fair assessment."
The QC suggested Johnston had been presiding over a "financial disaster".
Mr Shanks said the club had been in "difficult circumstances", but that it was "still operating".
The court was also told of contact between Mr Shanks and then Rangers chief executive Martin Bain in 2010.
There was mention of the transfer of striker Nikica Jelavic to Rangers from Rapid Vienna.
It was said the Austrian club "required the balance of transfer funds" to be "cash backed".
Rangers wanted to facilitate this by "seeking to increase the funding from Ticketus" - but that there was to be no mention of the firm on the year-end accounts.
Mr Findlay asked: "They hid the use of Ticketus?"
Mr Shanks: "Yes."
Prosecutors allege Mr Whyte pretended to Sir David Murray, and others, that funds were available to make all required payments to acquire a "controlling and majority stake" in the club.
The Crown alleges Mr Whyte had only £4m available from two sources at the time but took out a £24m loan from Ticketus against three years of future season ticket sales.
The court has heard the sale was eventually made to Mr Whyte for £1 but came with obligations to pay an £18m bank debt, a £2.8m "small tax case" bill, £1.7m for stadium repairs, £5m for players and £5m in working capital.
The second charge under the Companies Act centres on the £18m payment between Mr Whyte's Wavetower company and Rangers to clear a bank debt.
The trial before eight men and seven women continues.

Police say they killed the man in the Norrebro district after he opened fire on them.
It came after one person was killed and three police officers injured at a free speech debate in a cafe on Saturday.
In the second attack, a Jewish man was killed and two police officers wounded near the city's main synagogue.
Police say video surveillance suggested the same man carried out both attacks. They do not believe any other people were involved.
The head of Danish intelligence said investigators were working on the theory that the gunman could have been inspired by the shootings in Paris last month. The attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine, a kosher supermarket and a policewoman claimed 17 lives.
Jens Madsen told reporters the man had been identified and had been on the agency's radar for some time.
Police were working to determine whether the man had travelled to Syria or Iraq, he said.
Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt said it was "a very sad morning" and described the shootings as "a cynical act of terror against Denmark".
"We do not know the motive for the alleged perpetrator's actions, but we know that there are forces that want to hurt Denmark. They want to rebuke our freedom of speech,'' she said, according to the Associated Press.
Ms Thorning-Schmidt later visited the synagogue and said Denmark would do everything to protect its Jewish community.
On Saturday a gunman attacked a free-speech debate hosted by controversial Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks.
One man - identified by Danish media as film director Finn Norgaard, 55 - was killed and and three police officers wounded.
Officials said the gunman fled by car. A black Volkswagen Polo was found abandoned a short distance away.
Police said the gunman then called a taxi to take him home.
They used information from the taxi driver to identify the address, near the railway station in Norrebro. They released photos showing the alleged attacker wearing a purple balaclava and thick puffer jacket.
Hours later, a gunman opened fire outside a synagogue in Krystalgade street, about 5km from the scene of the first attack, killing a Jewish man and wounding two police officers.
The victim was named as Dan Uzan, 37. He had been on security duty while a bat mitzvah ceremony was taking place inside the synagogue.
Early on Sunday, police said they had been keeping the Norrebro address under observation, waiting for the occupant to return.
When the man appeared, he saw the officers, pulled out a gun and opened fire, police said. They returned fire and shot him dead.
It was always a case of not if but when. What's surprising is that it has taken this long for Denmark to be scarred by a fatal terror attack.
In September it will be 10 years since the Jyllands Posten newspaper inflamed the Muslim world with the publication of 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, including one of him with a bomb in his turban.

Kurt Westergaard, the 79-year-old cartoonist who drew the seminal turban caricature, has spent the past decade living under a death fatwa (religious ruling). He narrowly escaped an attempt to kill him at home, and had to lock himself into a panic room when a Somali militant broke into his home in the city of Aarhus.
He continues to live under police protection.
Why Denmark was steeled for attack
French President Francois Hollande said Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve would visit the Danish capital on Sunday.
US National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said they had been in touch with their Danish counterparts and were ready to help with the investigation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Jewish people in Europe to migrate to Israel following attacks on Jews in recent weeks.
"This wave of attacks will continue. I say to the Jews of Europe - Israel is your home," he told a cabinet meeting.
The occupants of the car had been wearing fake suicide vests and had knives and an axe, officials said.
Seven people were injured in the attack, one of whom later died.
It came hours after a van was driven into crowds in Barcelona, leaving 13 people dead and scores injured.
Police say the van driver, who fled the scene, could be among those killed in Cambrils, but this has not yet been confirmed.
"The investigation points in this direction," said Catalonian police official Josep Lluis Trapero, but there was no "concrete proof".
He added that, despite police training, it was "not easy" for the officer who had shot dead four of the five suspects.
The attack in Cambrils unfolded when an Audi A3 was driven at people walking along the seafront in the early hours of Friday.
The car overturned and those inside then attacked people with knives. Police said four were shot dead at the scene and the fifth was killed a few hundred metres away.
Waiter Joan Marc Serra Salinas heard the shots that rang out on Cambrils promenade.
"It was bang, bang, bang. Shouting, more shouting. I threw myself on to the ground on the beach," he said.
The Mayor of Cambrils, Cami Mendoza, praised the "speed and efficiency" of the police response.
A total of 3,186 passengers used the service between Brixham and Torquay in Devon from when it started in December 2014 to April last year.
During that time, the Brixham Express company received £544,000 in subsidies from Torbay Council.
The authority said the payments, which have since stopped, were in line with the firm's contract.

Figures released to the BBC following Freedom of Information requests show a cost per passenger journey of £171, based on the total subsidies paid by Torbay Council in January and April 2015.
Steve Darling, leader of the Liberal Democrat group on Torbay Council, said: "It's extremely disturbing, they might as well have given them a stretch limo with champagne on ice between Brixham and Torquay."
The Conservative-controlled council said it stopped the subsidies last April because the firm started using smaller vessels which did not comply with its contract.
When Brixham Express won the contract in 2014 as part of Torbay Council's green travel plan, it promised a catamaran. but it has not arrived yet.
The firm has blamed delays in getting a safety certificate.
The service started with a number of large hired vessels including the Pride of Exmouth, but since last April it has been using small fishing boats with a maximum capacity of 35.
A council spokesman said: "Post-April 2015 no subsidy has been paid to the company, as they have not been able to comply with the vessel specification contained within the contract."
The Department for Transport (DfT) said the subsidies came via the council from the government's Local Sustainable Transport Fund.
A DfT spokesman said: "Since 2011, we have provided £600m to transport projects across England to improve journeys for local people. It is for the relevant local authorities to make sure these projects are delivered."
No-one from the ferry firm was available for comment but Brixham Express skipper John Ford said: "With the new fast ferry still not on site people have lost faith in the whole situation which is totally understandable.
"But this has never been tried before in Torquay and we're going to do our utmost to make it work."
Archaeologists say the skeletons are in good condition and they expect to find as many as 40 in the coming weeks.
The land was home to a friary between 1290 and 1538, making many of the remains 450 years old.
The discovery was made in the university's New Museums site, which is about to undergo a major redevelopment.
It is currently home to the many of the university's science departments and examination halls as well as the David Attenborough building and the Museum of Zoology.
The team from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) will spend the next four weeks on the site before renovations get underway.
Site director Craig Cessford said building work through the centuries has left a number of skeletons "chopped through".
He said: "The bones are really perfectly preserved apart from where early 20th Century foundations have chopped through them so in places you'll only get half a body.
"Even when the friary was in use they sometimes chopped through the burials - so it's not just in the modern period that the skeletons have been disturbed."
The Augustinian friary was founded in 1290 but fell victim to the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538 under Henry VIII.
"They come in, they set up their friary and mark off an area as a cemetery and they start burying people in nice neat rows," Mr Cessford said.
"Eventually, after 100 or 150 years they fill up their area and they just start back at the beginning again and we know they did that at least three times.
"It still has the potential for surprises."
The skeletons will now be processed, washed and studied by specialist osteo-archaeologists.
The CAU is working closely with the university's Department of Archaeology on a project called After the Plague, based around the discovery of around 400 skeletons in a burial site at Cambridge's Hospital of St John in 2010.
It's hoped the friary remains will become a "comparative collection", Mr Cessford added.
The 25-year-old Scot won the inaugural title with a 6-1 6-4 success against Stefan Olsson and begins his defence against the Swede on Thursday.
Reid is also the reigning doubles champion and again pairs up with England's Alfie Hewett.
"It feels great to be back, it gets the excitement flowing," said Reid.
"To be the first person to win the trophy was special and to retain it would be even better.
"I've got great memories but now it's about focusing on trying to do the same this year. I'll take it one match at a time.
"Stefan is in good form and enjoys playing on the grass, so it's not going to be an easy match at all."

Reid, who collected an MBE from the Queen in Edinburgh last week, added the first Wimbledon singles title to his Australian Open victory last year.
He began 2017 by collecting the doubles prize in Australia, completing the set of majors, with two previous French Open wins and US Open success in 2015.
"Singles-wise, this year has not been ideal but the doubles has been good," Reid told BBC Scotland.
"Hopefully, I can use this tournament to get some confidence for the second half of the season."
Reid, who also won Paralympic singles gold last year, recalls "drinking champagne with the Murray team" last year following Andy Murray's second Wimbledon title.
Murray has reached the last eight as he attempts to defend his title and Reid is aiming for another Scottish double, with the help of some superstition.
"I'm trying to get the same lucky number 13 locker as last year," he laughed.
"There's someone else in there, so I've reserved it for when they leave."
The AU lobbied intensely for the 50-year-old Gambian, endorsing her candidature in June after repeatedly accusing Mr Moreno-Ocampo - an Argentinian whose nine-year term expires next year - of selective justice by only investigating atrocities in Africa.
"Frankly speaking, we are not against the ICC. What we are against is Ocampo's justice," AU commission chairman Jean Ping said earlier this year.
"What have we done to justify being an example to the world? Are there no worst countries, like Myanmar [Burma]?"
The appointment of Mrs Bensouda, who has been Mr Moreno-Ocampo's deputy throughout his tenure, was unanimously approved at a meeting of the legislative body of the ICC, the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), in New York on Monday.
Mrs Bensouda, a former senior legal adviser at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, which is trying key figures responsible for the 1994 genocide in the Central African state, got the job ahead of three other short-listed candidates.
They were Andrew Cayley, the British co-prosecutor at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Cambodia; Tanzania's chief justice Mohamed Chande Othman; and Canadian war crimes specialist Robert Petit.
"The AU has been adamant that an African candidate would be selected, and they got their wish," writes UK-based law blogger Mark Kersten on the Justice in Conflict blog.
He says the AU's hand was strengthened by the fact that African countries form the largest bloc in the ASP. Yet the ICC's various organs - including the presidency and registry - were headed by people from other continents.
"Bensouda clearly satisfied all of the political and merit-based criteria to become the ICC's chief prosecutor," Mr Kersten says.
Born into a polygamous family - her father had two wives - Mrs Bensouda is married to a Gambian-Moroccan businessman. They have three children - one of whom is adopted.
"I come from a big family, let's say it that way," she said in an interview earlier this month with the AFP news agency.
She told the BBC's Newshour programme that her African background would give her an additional insight into life on the continent, which would help her perform her new job.
However, she said she had been "proud" to have worked with Mr Moreno-Ocampo and so may not bring a radically different approach.
Mrs Bensouda was once a politician, with Gambian President Yahya Jammeh - who took power in a coup in 1994 and is accused of harassing the opposition and the press - appointing her as justice minister in 1998.
But the two fell out and Mr Jammeh sacked her about two years later.
"She was relieved of her duties while she was abroad," Gambian opposition leader Ousainou Darboe told the BBC.
"She is a fantastic person, and showed genuine concern about human rights issues [in The Gambia]."
Mrs Bensouda's appointment as chief prosecutor has been welcomed in the legal profession and among non-governmental organisations.
"She always struck us a very thoughtful person of great intellect," says Human Rights Watch senior counsel Liz Evenson.
A senior lecturer at the Melbourne Law School in Australia, Kevin Jon Heller, says Mr Cayley would have been an "excellent" chief prosecutor, but Mrs Bensouda was also "very qualified" for the job.
"She offers the best of both worlds - an ICC insider who offers institutional continuity, which will be critical in the coming years, but has a strong, independent voice that has not been tainted by Moreno-Ocampo's incompetent tenure," he writes on the Opinio Juris blog.
"Having spoken to numerous individuals involved in the ICC, from OTP [Office of The Prosecutor] staff to legal officers in chambers to defence attorneys, it is clear that Bensouda was the primary reason that the OTP didn't fall completely apart over the past eight years."
"I have also had the good fortune to spend time with Bensouda over the past couple of years. She is, to put it mildly, an incredibly impressive woman: smart, articulate, thoughtful (a welcome change from Moreno-Ocampo) and compassionate."
South Africa-based legal expert Shadrack Ghutto believes that Mrs Bensouda will keep a lower profile than Mr Moreno-Ocampo.
"He had a media-attracting personality and a propensity to make pronouncements before going through judicial processes," Mr Ghutto told the BBC.
"The chief prosecutor must not overshadow the court. I think it will now come to the fore."
The ICC has so far investigated conflicts in seven countries - all in Africa: Sudan; Libya; Ivory Coast; Kenya; Uganda; the Democratic Republic of Congo; and the Central African Republic.
Several of the cases are in court, with a verdict in the first trial - that of eastern DR Congo militia leader Thomas Lubanga - expected early next year.
"For many observers, it [the case] has been going on for too long, but a lot of things needed to be worked out," says Ms Evenson of Human Rights Watch.
"The two other trials [including that of former DR Congo vice-president and rebel leader Jean Pierre-Bemba] are going much more quickly."
Despite AU accusations of "selective justice", Mrs Bensouda is unapologetic about the ICC's focus on African conflicts.
"We say that the ICC is targeting Africans, but all of the victims in our cases in Africa are African victims," she said earlier this year.
"They are not from another continent. And they're the ones who are suffering these crimes."
Mr Heller says that while Mrs Bensouda will avoid "needlessly alienating" governments, he expects her to vigorously pursue justice.
"From what I know about her, she'll do what she believes is right - no matter how many feathers get ruffled. So if states think they are getting a shrinking violet, they're bound for serious disappointment," he says.
Mr Ghutto says for the sake of the ICC's credibility, Mrs Bensouda must address concerns that only Africans are being targeted by investigating conflicts in other parts of the world.
"The court has to be seen to be international in the way it operates," he says.
"Cases must be brought without fear, favour or prejudice."
The ICC says it is conducting preliminary investigations into eight other countries, including Afghanistan, Colombia and Korea.
Ms Evenson says part of the problem is that many powerful states, including the US and China, have refused to recognise the ICC, meaning that they cannot be investigated unless the UN Security Council - which is a "highly politicised" body - agrees.
"There has to be pressure to get more countries to join the ICC," she says.
Maciej Gabryś posted on Facebook asking people for advice on possible jobs he could apply for where he would be working with English people.
The 32-year-old said he also wanted to learn more about the English language, as well as the culture and history of the region and country.
"I am in England, and I want to know England," he added.
More on this and other local stories from across Yorkshire
Mr Gabryś, who previously worked in a bank in Jelenia Góra, Lower Silesia, south-western Poland, came to Doncaster about a month ago
He said he came up with the idea of using social media to help him find work shortly after.
Speaking about the post in the Doncaster Talk group, Mr Gabryś said: "Some are saying good luck, some are sending me adverts for jobs."
He said he hoped the advice would help him to integrate and learn about English culture and history.
In response, people have posted messages of support and suggestions about where he might get a job.
Others offered advice about integration, suggesting going to the pub with English friends or joining a local sports club.
One tongue-in-cheek post suggested he learn about local football teams, but added "don't favour either United or Wednesday" in a reference to the two biggest Sheffield clubs.
Another post praised him for his efforts, adding: "Of course, we excel at learning other languages when we go abroad!"
Mr Gabryś said he was surprised by the the number of people who responded, but said he was very grateful for all the advice he has received.
The Xperia XZ Premium captures video at up to 960 frames per second (fps).
The achievement was made possible by a new type of image sensor that has built-in memory of its own.
Sony's smartphone market share is small, but it usually makes its sensors available to rivals about six to 12 months after they debut.
Apple, Samsung, LG and Xiaomi are among those to have used its technology in recent handsets.
The new phone was unveiled alongside several lower specification devices on the first day of the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona.
"Despite this being one of the best devices at MWC, I don't see it changing Sony's fortunes," commented Francisco Jeronimo, from the market research firm IDC.
"If you go through Sony's financial statements you can see it now makes more money from selling phone cameras to its competitors than selling its own smartphones, which is quite remarkable
"So, its phones are a way to show off its capabilities, and the new camera is outstanding - not just the slow-mo but also the picture quality."
Sony shipped about half as many smartphones in 2016 as the previous year and has about 1% share of the market, according to IDC, putting it in 17th place.

Sony calls the new technology Motion Eye.
It uses a three-layer stacked sensor fitted with one gigabit of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). Doing so lets the component temporarily store a rapid burst of video data locally before it is transferred to other memory components, which takes more time.
When the firm first announced the sensor earlier this month it said it was capable of 1,000 fps in 1080p "full high definition".
However, on the Xperia XZ Premium it has been restricted to slightly fewer frames per second at 720p resolution.
In practice, users can only capture 0.18 seconds of footage at this speed, which produces six seconds of video when played back.
But they can do so in the middle of filming normal footage to create a slow-down-and-speed-back-up effect. The challenge is to press the button at the right moment.
"It's only a very brief amount of time and you've got to be really on the ball to use it effectively," commented Tim Coulling from the Canalys tech consultancy.
"But it's a great feature."
The built-in DRAM memory also lets users record action that happened a second before they pressed the record button.
This buffer function is intended to help them avoid missed moments, but only works if the device detects motion, which triggers the facility.
Other unusual features include:
Analysts were less positive about another of the Japanese firm's announcements.
Sony confirmed its Xperia Touch projector would go on sale later "this Spring".
The Android-powered device was first teased at last year's MWC.
The machine uses ultrashort-throw projection technology to display apps on a nearby wall or table. The resulting 720p image can be configured to be between 23in to 80in (58.4cm to 203.2cm) in size.
Built-in sensors let the surface used act like a large touchscreen.
Sony says it expects families to "huddle" around the image when using it, and showed the BBC a multiplayer game where several players interacted with graphics projected onto a table at once.
The machine is designed to be used while connected to a power source, but can work for up to an hour unplugged.
A potential problem, however, is its price: Sony plans to charge €1,499 ($1,584; £1,269) when it goes on sale in Europe and Japan.
"I think Sony should be applauded for being bold enough to push into a new category, but unfortunately it's out of reach to all but the most affluent gadget addicts," commented Ben Wood from CCS Insight.
Mr Jeronimo was more harsh in his criticism.
"It's a huge mistake," he said.
"If Sony combined a projector with a device like the Amazon Echo or Google Home for a third of the price, that would be a very interesting.
"But asking for more than $1,500 - there's no way they will sell them."
But in Hong Kong, students at the Academy for Performing Arts have turned an otherwise staid event into potent political theatre.
Dressed in black caps and purple gowns, about a quarter of the graduating students - who study music, dance, drama, film and television - took the opportunity last week to send a clear message of discontent to Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong's top leader, who was on stage officiating.
One student showed him her middle finger.
Another got down on her knees asking him to resign.
Yet another graduate bent over to show Mr Leung his backside, though he did keep his trousers on.
A group of students then held up placards spelling out demands for universal suffrage, which has been promised but not granted to the seven million residents of this former British colony.
Tam Lok Hang, 22, did not join the group protest, but he gave Mr Leung a thumbs-down sign to loud applause when he walked onstage.
He told BBC News he had shouted: "689 step down! I want universal suffrage."
'689' has become a pejorative nickname for the chief executive, who is commonly known as CY.
It refers to the number of votes Mr Leung received last year from an elite committee of electors largely loyal to Beijing.
That he was elected by a small group, and not by eligible Hong Kong voters, has angered many residents, tens of thousands of whom took to the streets earlier this week on the 16th anniversary of the city's handover to China.
They marched for hours in the rain to protest against Mr Leung's government and the lack of direct voting rights here.
The most commonly heard refrain was: "CY step down!"
The size of the pro-democracy, anti-CY rally, which drew even more people than last year, was consistent with results from the most recent survey from the University of Hong Kong's Public Opinion Programme.
One year into Mr Leung's administration, the survey showed his popularity rating at an all-time low.
Anson Chan, a former head of the city's civil service, has been scathing in her criticism of the chief executive.
"He needs to demonstrate he has the essential ingredients of a good leader: political legitimacy, competence, clear evidence that he shares our core values and empathy with the community, especially those who are less well off. So far, he has not demonstrated he meets any of these criteria," she said.
In order for Mr Leung to redeem himself, the administration must introduce a blueprint that will allow all eligible voters to select their next chief executive in a free and fair process by 2017, according to Mrs Chan.
Earlier this week, the chief executive promised to start the public consultation process at "an appropriate juncture", but did not specify a time.
Mrs Chan, who heads a new group called Hong Kong 2020 that fights for democratic reforms, said she was concerned that time was running out and that residents would find their suffrage hopes dashed yet again.
She pointed out that public consultations which eventually paved the way for Legislative Council elections in 2012 actually started five years earlier in 2007.
What she and other pro-democracy activists do not want to see is a rushed, shoddy proposal for democratic reforms that would be rejected by the public.
When Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997, residents were promised a high degree of autonomy and, eventually, the right to directly elect their own chief executive and lawmakers.
The opposition to Mr Leung has become so strong that a group of hunger strikers have set up tents in a corner of Chater Garden in the Central business district.
Calling themselves the Anti CY Alliance, nine people were striking in 50-hour shifts early this week, before handing over to a fresh group of volunteers.
The goal, they said, was to continue until the chief executive resigned.
Some of the strikers were affiliated with political groups, but one of them, Dicallan Wong, was a 51-year-old scuba diving enthusiast who works in the tobacco industry.
Mr Wong, who said he was generally apolitical, took four days off work to join the hunger strike because he was fed up with what he called Beijing's interference in Hong Kong affairs.
"I have a problem with the whole system," he said, as fellow strikers took their blood pressure with portable machines.
"CY is just a cog in the wheel. He doesn't represent the people. He doesn't consider our interests. I think he acts in the interest of the central government."
Mr Leung was in fact not the Chinese government's first choice to become chief executive.
The early frontrunner was Henry Tang, a previous financial secretary who was perceived to have the backing of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin.
But the revelation that Mr Tang's home sat atop an enormous illegal basement, dubbed an underground palace, derailed his campaign.
Running on a populist platform, Mr Leung won Beijing's backing.
During his year in power, the chief executive has been credited with stopping pregnant mainland women from easily crossing the border to give birth in Hong Kong.
Stopping the flow of so-called birth tourism is seen as his biggest success.
Mr Leung has also promised to boost the supply of property and increase the amount of housing available to low-income residents.
But no matter how successfully he delivers on bread and butter issues, critics like Mr Wong believe the chief executive has no legitimacy because of the way he was chosen.
And due to Mr Leung's long association with the Chinese government, helping officials there formulate land policy, there are persistent rumours that he is actually a Communist Party member.
He has consistently denied those reports, but his denials sound hollow to Mr Tam, the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts graduate.
"Actually I have no personal hatred of CY Leung," he said. "CY Leung is just a Communist puppet. What we have to do is to oppose Communist tyranny."
Hardliners have been on a political warpath this week after the first visit to Tehran by the European Union's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton.
"Do you think our country has no order that you can go anywhere you want and see anyone you want to see?" the head of the judiciary, Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani, demanded on Tuesday night.
Leading clerics from the holy city of Qom have now added their voice, accusing the West of "reviving the plot of the soft revolution", a reference to the widespread street protests - blamed on foreign powers - that were sparked by the disputed 2009 presidential election.
When Baroness Ashton first landed in Tehran last weekend, moderate newspapers hailed her arrival as an "achievement" of the reformist President Hassan Rouhani.
His Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has established a good working relationship with Europe's top diplomat during their months of negotiations which led to November's landmark interim deal on Iran's nuclear programme.
Now Mr Zarif, as well as Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi, has been summoned to appear before parliament to answer questions.
Hardliners have zeroed in on what is being denounced as Baroness Ashton's "controversial meeting".
Their target is a small gathering with seven female human rights activists at the very start of her mission, which coincided with International Women's Day.
The presence of Narges Mohammadi, the acting head of Iran's Centre for the Defenders of Human Rights, attracted some of the greatest attention.
She has been to prison five times since her days as a student activist, and is now on bail.
"The better Iran's relations with the world become, the more open the political climate in Iran becomes, and the more active our civil society," Ms Mohammadi told me.
Baroness Ashton spoke of "the great privilege to meet women to talk about issues for women in Iran and across the world," as she stood next to Mr Zarif at a news conference on Sunday.
On Wednesday, a small crowd of protesters, mainly from an Islamic Association of University Students, gathered outside the residence of the Austrian ambassador in Tehran where the meeting with the female activists - meant to be a low-key discussion - was held the previous Saturday evening.
"If Mrs Ashton is concerned about women and human rights, she should go take care of the women in Europe," one student association declared earlier this week.
"This backlash was to be expected," a prominent editor of one of Iran's conservative media told me. "It will subside."
But it is also clear the deeply-rooted suspicion will not go away.
Hardline politicians, still smarting from President Rouhani's emphatic victory in last year's elections, also see this as an opportunity to step up the pressure to try to weaken the reformist government, including negotiations on the future of Iran's nuclear programme.
"They will try to keep the flame alive," said one Iranian commentator.
There has been less comment so far from more moderate media.
But a cautious appreciation of her visit was quoted earlier this week.
"It can have a positive effect on the process of Iran's nuclear talks and the promotion of our country's relations with the European Union," remarked Ahmad Shohani, a member of the parliament's security and foreign policy committee.
As we walked through Tehran's crowded bazaars this week, Iranians often asked us what kind of impact her visit would have.
"When senior officials visit it gives us hope," said Mehdi whose family has been in the carpet business for more than three decades. "When more junior officials come, we worry."
"We definitely welcome her visit," emphasised a woman carrying bags of Iranian nuts and sweets in preparation for the upcoming Persian New Year on 21 March. "It's not good to live in isolation."
"Ashton and her friends should deal with the government," insisted another man who lamented the high prices caused by years of international sanctions. "We cannot make a long wall around ourselves but the EU and the Iranian government have to show good intentions."
Baroness Ashton was clear from the start that human rights were an important part of her greater engagement with Iran.
She often makes a point of talking to women wherever she visits.
"She would have been criticised if she did not reach out to Iranian women, especially since it was International Women's Day," commented one of her advisers.
Her approach in Iran was carefully framed as a "potential human rights dialogue in future".
European diplomats say the idea to put human rights on the agenda was first suggested by Iran's delegation during a meeting at the United Nations in September.
Both Baroness Ashton and the Iranian leaders she met in Tehran have spoken positively about their talks earlier this week.
"I've met people who've played a role in Iran, not just now but historically, and we were able to talk about the potential to do other things, including human rights," Baroness Ashton told me and the few other journalists who came to cover her visit.
After meeting her, President Hassan Rouhani spoke of the need to "interact constructively" with the entire world, including Europe, based on "common interests and mutual respect".
His unofficial Twitter account @HassanRouhani used the hashtag #Constructive_Engagement.
Mr Minister Zarif also spoke about the potential to co-operate in other areas, including action against drug trafficking from neighbouring Afghanistan, the battle against "terrorism", and the "dangerous" situation in Syria.
But Baroness Ashton also made it clear that progress on any front would depend on the success or failure of difficult talks on a long-term comprehensive nuclear accord, which will resume on 17 March in Vienna.
"I am leaving here knowing there is support for those who are going to come to negotiate," she told me. "But there's so much to do and we have to be cautiously optimistic."
Even deeper scepticism was reiterated again this week by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"Our officials have started negotiations. We hope they will come to a conclusion but we are not optimistic," he commented during one of his audiences.
Ayatollah Khamenei has repeatedly warned that the nuclear talks are a "pretext in the hands of the West" to interfere in Iran's affairs.
"Ashton has given some hope to the moderates, some food to the hardliners," was how one Iranian observer summarised this rare visit by a senior Western official. "This is Iran."
Dr Carl McQueen, 34, said he felt "unsupported" whilst working for the organisation.
He hanged himself in his grandfather's shed in Solihull after attending a patient who died, the inquest heard.
West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) accepted that it should have given him more support.
Dr Mcqueen, who was staying in Solihull at the time, had confided to his supervisor, Dr Nicholas Crombie, in June last year that he was unhappy with the way he was being treated.
Colleagues had left chicken bones in his cup and left remarks on the rota next to his name. One had verbally abused him.
Dr Crombie said that the father of two was desperate not to complain because his PhD depended on data from the ambulance service.
"Finances and work life balance" were additional issues in his life, he said.
They agreed that he should be taken off active duty. He was later brought back under supervision before being allowed to fly solo.
On 30 December, a patient suffered a cardiac arrest after being treated by Dr McQueen. Rather than begin a formal investigation, a decision was taken to wait for a post mortem report, the coroner, Louise Hunt, was told.
Dr Mcqueen was advised by Dr Crombie on 11 February that it was being classed as a "serious incident".
He took his life the following day.
An independent investigation by Tracy Nicholls from East of England Ambulance Service found that policies and processes had not been followed by WMAS.
The supervision of doctors is now included within WMAS's ambit.
Steve Wheaton for WMAS said: "The death of Dr Mcqueen has had a profound effect on the way the trust views support for the doctors who work with and alongside us.
"The circumstances surrounding Carl's death have resulted in a huge amount of reflection. The trust fully accepts the findings of the independent review."

But why is there fighting in Syria in the first place?
Watch Ricky's report to find out what's been happening there.
In part, this is a response to the growing body of evidence from investigations in Bulgaria and Cyprus that indicate Hezbollah's role in carrying out or planning attacks.
But equally it reflects a growing frustration with the Lebanese Shia grouping following its decision to intervene in Syria's civil war on the side of President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
There are growing concerns in Western European diplomatic circles that Hezbollah is playing with fire and that Syria's bloodshed could easily spill over into Lebanon. Indeed, there are early signs that this is already happening.
The British government is pushing its European partners to designate the military wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist entity. This comes in the wake of the organisation's role in an attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria and the recent conviction of a Hezbollah operative in Cyprus.
The Foreign Office minister in London, Alistair Burt, said that this was "the appropriate course of action, especially after we have confirmed that the military wing has been carrying out terrorist acts for a long time.
"We have proof of this," he went on, pointing to the bomb attack on an Israeli tourist bus in Burgas airport in Bulgaria in July of last year, and the more recent conviction of a Hezbollah member in Cyprus for planning to carry out what he called "terrorist acts."
Hezbollah denies involvement in the Burgas bombing.
Up to now, only Britain and the Netherlands have placed the military wing of Hezbollah on their national terrorism blacklists. Germany now seems more willing to designate Hezbollah's military arm, and this has given some impetus to the British move.
The French position has also shifted. Hezbollah's growing role in the Syrian fighting has changed the calculus in Paris.
France has up to now been cautious, fearing what pressure upon Hezbollah might do to stability in Lebanon, where the French, among others, have a significant number of peacekeeping troops.
Quite apart from the continuing debate within the European Union about lifting the ban on arms sales to rebels in Syria, the fate of peacekeepers (Unifil in southern Lebanon and the UNDOF disengagement monitors on the Golan Heights) is also a growing concern as tensions grow in these crucial border regions.
The British move to list Hezbollah's military wing comes as the image of the Lebanese organisation - long hailed in the region as one of the principal resistance forces against Israel - is coming under strain.
Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian civil war has raised concerns about its motives in Lebanon and beyond. Its troops have had a significant impact on the fighting.
US Secretary of State John Kerry noted only recently that there were thousands of Hezbollah fighters in Syria.
Hezbollah seems to have thrown in its hand with President Assad, confirming the views of many of its critics that it is playing out a wider game plan inspired by Tehran.
The Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis is under clear pressure now. The risks for all parties are great.
Hezbollah, for one, risks sacrificing the reputation it has built up in Lebanon to help prop up the failing Alawite regime in Syria.
Stephen McGown was kidnapped from a hotel in Timbuktu along with two other foreign nationals.
In December 2015 a video of Mr McGown and another hostage - Swede Johan Gustafsson, freed in June - was posted on YouTube to show they were alive.
Authorities say he was released after efforts by the two countries' governments and NGO Gift of the Givers.
Africa Live: More on this and other stories
He was freed on 29 July and is now home with his family. But it is not clear why news of the release was delayed - some believe this was a security precaution.
"It was a big surprise when I saw Stephen walk through the door. When I hugged him, he felt as strong as ever," his father told Malcolm McGown told reporters in Pretoria where the announcement of his son's release was made.
He thanked South Africans of "every race and creed" for their support over the last few years.
"I wouldn't ever wish this to happen to anyone else, but they will have the support of the government...I would like to thank President Zuma for everything they did," he said.
The government says no ransom was paid for Mr McGown's release.
"We are happy to announce that finally these efforts have culminated in Mr McGown's release on 29 July 2017. We would like to warmly welcome him back home and wish him good health and good fortune in his life as a free man," International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane told a media briefing in Pretoria.
"It is with sadness though, that his dear mother, Beverly passed on in May 2017 without seeing her son again. The government extends, its deepest condolences to Stephen and his family. May her soul rest in eternal peace," she added.
It is widely expected that the ruling in the case brought by the Philippines will go against China, but that hasn't stopped its ambassadors making a push to convince the world that China is in the right.
English-language state media has released cutesy English-language videos discussing the history of the area and has entire website sections dedicated to analysis and discussion of the issue.
But over the last few months, Chinese ambassadors across the world have been targeting the foreign press as well, writing signed articles in national newspapers to put forward China's case.
The Philippines has gone to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague to ask for a technical ruling about the extent of the territorial waters that can be claimed on the basis of the possession of various coastlines, islands and rocks.
The ruling is not widely expected to favour China, and may even go so far as to invalidate its most expansive claim - the "nine-dash line" that encompasses up to 90% of the disputed Sea.
China has said it will neither take part in the tribunal nor accept the authority of its ruling.
Q&A: South China Sea dispute
China's Island Factory
Mysteries and maritime claims
Chinese jets "intercept" US spy plane
Flying close to China's new islands
The articles are not identical, although it would be fair to say that they are very similar. Unsurprisingly, they all adhere strictly to the official government position on the dispute.
It's perhaps no shock that the Chinese ambassadors to regional players like the US and Australia might be keen to make their case to the people of the country they're stationed in. They have done so in the past and so it makes sense that with the judgement due on 12 July, they are doing so again.
You might wonder what influence small countries like Cyprus, thousands of miles away from the action, might be expected to have though.
Some of the countries the signed articles have appeared in:
Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, New Zealand, Malaysia, Fiji, Australia
Cyprus, UK, Iceland, Macedonia, Germany, France
Kenya, Lesotho, South Africa, Ghana, Sierra Leone
US, Jamaica
So what's the big deal? The job of an ambassador is to promote the interests of their home country abroad, after all.
"In the past, there were such media pushes, but usually only to accompany visits of Chinese leaders to specific countries. It is rare to see this sort of global approach," says Professor Kerry Brown, an expert in Chinese politics from King's College London.
"It is almost certainly a concerted push from the centre to have ambassadors and representatives write these, and to proactively send out such messages."
The BBC contacted several Chinese embassies to ask if the articles were centrally commissioned, but received no response.
Many of the articles start with a general observation such as this one: "The South China Sea issue is a hot topic nowadays in the international media" (from the Fiji Sun) or this: "In recent times, the South China Sea issue has caught the international limelight" (from the Cyprus Mail.)
They then go on to make the following points:
- There is misinformation and/or misunderstanding around China's claims
- The islands (called Nansha islands by the Chinese) have been China's since ancient times
- The arbitration process was started unilaterally by the Philippines
- Bilateral, local negotiations are the way forward
- Territorial sovereignty is not within the scope of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)
Some take the form of essays, whilst others are divided into bullet points.
It's tempting to view them as being templated, but it could just be that they all closely follow the official government rhetoric on the matter, which might be expected on such a sensitive issue.
There are some regional variations - the Chinese Ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, is far more forthright when he warns "Stop playing with fire in the South China Sea," whereas an article in the Malaysian Star calls for the Malaysian approach to the South China Sea to be used as a model for other disputes. (Malaysia also claims islands in the area but is far less vociferous about its claims than countries like the Philippines.)
These articles fit into a wider pattern of China wanting to demonstrate that international opinion is on their side - or at least, that some of it is.
China has shown no pickiness in who it's courted for support in the South China Sea dispute - the government claims that more than 40 countries have offered China their backing.
That list also includes geographically diverse and distant countries like Sierra Leone and Slovenia.
"[These articles] show firstly just how nervous China is about the impact of the ruling when it comes, and also how much more proactive their attempt is now to use the western press and media to get their message across," says Kerry Brown.
"I suspect we will see more of this."
An upgrade to a Swiss supercomputer has bumped the US Department of Energy's Cray XK7 to number four on the list rating these machines.
The only other time the US fell out of the top three was in 1996.
Chinese supercomputers currently occupy the top two slots in the respected Top 500 list.
The US machine has been supplanted by Switzerland's Piz Daint system, which is installed at the country's national supercomputer centre.
The upgrade boosted its performance from 9.8 petaflops to 19.6.
The machine is named after a peak in the Grison region of Switzerland.
One petaflop is equal to one thousand trillion operations per second.
A "flop" (floating point operation) can be thought of as a step in a calculation.
Supercomputers are often used to carry out incredibly detailed simulations, handle weather forecasts and tackle problems in physics, computational science and geophysics.
The performance improvement meant it surpassed the 17.6 petaflop capacity of the DoE machine, located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
The US is well represented lower down in the list, as currently half of all the machines in the top 10 of the list are based in North America.
And the Oak Ridge National Laboratory looks set to return to the top three later this year, when its Summit supercomputer comes online.
This is expected to have a peak performance of more than 100 petaflops.
While both the Swiss and ORNL systems can handle huge amounts of data, the Chinese machines in the top two slots are much more powerful.
In second place is China's Tianhe-2 (Milky Way-2) machine , which has a throughput of 33.9 petaflops.
But this is dwarfed by the 93 petaflops available to the Sunway TaihuLight machine at the nation's supercomputing centre in Wuxi.
Japan is currently building a supercomputer, the AI Bridging Cloud, whose number-crunching ability will go beyond the Sunway machine.
Once completed, the AI Bridging Cloud is expected to have a peak performance of 130 petaflops.
Keal Richards, of Francis Street, Chapeltown, appeared before Leeds magistrates charged with the murder of Raheem Wilks, 19.
Mr Wilks, the brother of Leeds United's Mallik Wilks, was found seriously injured on Gathorn Terrace in Harehills at 13:20 GMT on Thursday.
Mr Richards, 21, was remanded to appear at Leeds Crown Court on Thursday.
More on this story from BBC Leeds and West Yorkshire
In court, he spoke only to confirm his name and address and answer the charge of murder.
A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Wilks died as a result of a single gunshot wound to the chest.
A 49-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman previously arrested in connection with the death have been released on bail.
More than £4bn of UK aid goes to global organisations such as the World Bank.
In an interview in Kenya with the BBC's James Landale, Ms Patel also said that she wanted to use the aid budget to help pave the way for trade deals.
But Labour said Ms Patel had "no mandate" for changing how aid was given and called on her to abandon the plans.
Ms Patel, who was speaking on her first visit to Africa since she was appointed to her new role, witnessed what some of her department's £12bn budget is supporting on the ground.
She saw humanitarian aid being delivered, via a payment card that gives Kenyan women £20 a month from the British taxpayer to buy the food they need to survive.
She said: "We have to make sure that our aid works in our national interest and also that it works for our taxpayers. Much more openness, much more transparency and much more accountability."
She is about to publish a review of the work of big multinational aid organisations that spend money on behalf of the UK, and said she would cut off funding if they did not meet new performance targets by spending better and wasting less.
"The government's approach is focused on ensuring that we drive taxpayer value - so when it comes to multilateral organisations, focus on performance agreements," she said.
"If they are not performing then obviously we'll look at the contributions that we give to them. We need to be challenging."
Ms Patel was referring to agencies such as the World Bank, the European Union and other smaller bodies. They spend 40% of the UK's aid budget.
It is the first time this multilateral funding has been reviewed as a whole for five years.
Our diplomatic correspondent says Ms Patel also wants to use bilateral aid to secure new trade deals and make allies in the World Trade Organization, which the UK will need after Brexit. She also hopes to use aid to reduce the flow of migrants to Europe.
Ms Patel said: "British soft power is exactly where DfID (the Department for International Development) and our aid and other relationships around the world come together to deliver in our national interest and deliver for Britain when it comes to free trade agreements but also life post-Brexit."
Government officials would not name specific projects potentially at risk in the Multilateral Aid Review but pointed to criticism levelled at the World Health Organisation for its handling of the Ebola crisis as an example of where reform was needed.
Ms Patel has been a longstanding critic of some aid spending and her remarks will unnerve many multilateral agencies and non-governmental charities opposed to the idea of further so-called "conditionality" being imposed on their spending, our correspondent says.
She told him she wanted to use Britain's aid budget to boost economic development, announcing a £30m programme to encourage more job-creating investment in Kenya.
And she promised £95m to help Kenya break down barriers to trade, particularly by speeding up the flow of goods through the port of Mombasa.
She said she would undertake joint missions overseas with International Trade Secretary Liam Fox to gather what she called "intelligence" about economic opportunities for British businesses.
"We are a global leader when it comes to international development, we have a strong footprint overseas and it is right that we use that footprint in the national interest," she added.
Kate Osamor, Labour's shadow development secretary, said "Priti Patel has no mandate or evidence to fundamentally change the way UK aid is distributed.
"She seems fixated on imposing her dogma of the free market over the clear evidence that UK aid is the most efficient and effective in the world.
"It reaches the people who need help, including many young girls and women."
Dave and Angela Dawes from Wisbech were the only winners of the jackpot in Friday's draw, banking £101,203,600.70.
Mr Dawes, 47, is a shift supervisor, and his partner, 43, is a volunteer for the British Heart Foundation.
Chelsea fan Mr Dawes, said he now plans to buy a house near the ground - and ask Frank Lampard round for tea.
He said: "We were watching TV and the Euromillions draw show came on so we kept watching, not thinking we would win anything.
"We got our tickets out and watched in shock as, one by one, the numbers came up on the line I'd chosen.
"We couldn't believe it. It was too late to call Camelot so I kept the ticket on me all night until the morning but we didn't sleep a wink."
The ticket was bought at WH Smith on the Market Place in Wisbech.
Mr Dawes, who works at Premier Foods, said he wanted to buy a season ticket to watch Chelsea FC.
He said: "I'm not worried about getting a box - I want to stand with the real fans and watch my team play.
"I'd also love to live near the ground and have Frank Lampard come over for a cup of tea."
The couple, who have been together for four years, said they would continue with their plan to get married in Portugal next year.
Ms Dawes, who has already changed her surname to her partner's, said: "It's an excessive amount of money but we intend to make our friends and family millionaires."
She added that they had already broken the news to some of the people that they would be helping.
"They are absolutely gobsmacked, amazed," she said.
"Obviously it's exciting for us and exciting for them."
In July, Colin and Chris Weir from Ayrshire won a record European lottery prize of £161m.
UK ticketholders have banked the Euromillions jackpot more than 15 times in the past two years.
Last year two anonymous UK winners scooped £113m and £84m.
The couple's success means they are £1m better off than David Bowie, the 703rd richest person in the country, according to The Sunday Times Rich List 2011.
They move ahead of celebrity couples such as Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne (£95m) and Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin (£48m).
The winning numbers were 18, 26, 34, 38 and 42. The Lucky Star numbers were five and eight.
Nine countries participate in Euromillions - the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Austria.
Ticket sales in all those countries contribute to the Euromillions jackpot.
Darya Safai's sign read: "Let Iranian women enter their stadiums."
Women have generally been banned or restricted from attending all-male sports events in Iran since shortly after the Islamic revolution in 1979.
The International Olympic Committee bans political statements at the games.
After she refused to leave, security staff abandoned their attempt to remove her and she carried on holding up the banner for the rest of the game.
Ms Safai says she plans to attend all of Iran's volleyball matches. The next one is on Monday.
Ms Safai, who was born in Iran but lives in Belgium, held her protest on Saturday at a men's preliminary volleyball match between Egypt and Iran.
Although she seemed to smile throughout that protest, Ms Safai did at one point burst into tears when security staff came to try to remove her.
She said to them: "I am so sorry. What I am fighting for is for the right for Iranian women to be at matches. It is my right to be here. It is the basic right of Iranian women."
She said she cried because "it hurts to explain again and again that this peaceful action is not a political message, but a positive message of peace and human rights".
"I kept the banner up for the whole length of the match," she told the BBC News website. "My hands were shivering from holding the banner. But I kept it until the end."
Not everyone was supportive - one Iranian fan sitting behind her at the match yelled at her, she said.
Ms Safai, has lived in Belgium since 2000, after being arrested in Iran in 1999 and put in prison for taking part in anti-government demonstrations.
She has been staging sports protests since 2014.
"I love volleyball, football, because I love our national team. We want to enjoy [the team], men and women. I want to cheer my national team, it is my right and that of all Iranian women whose voice is muted.
"Where better than the Olympic Games to bring people together?"
She says her protest is "to let the Olympic committee know that they have an important mission to let Iranian women enter the stadiums".
"They have a lot of power in the world of sports and I hope they will use it to fight gender discrimination. That's what the spirit of the Olympic Games is," she said.
Since 2012, the Iranian government has banned women from attending volleyball tournaments as the sport became increasingly popular in Iran with both sexes.
It has arrested women for trying to enter stadiums, human rights groups say.
The girl was discovered in Pulka in northern Borno state, spokesman Sani Usman said.
The announcement came nearly a month after another 21 Chibok girls were freed after negotiations with Boko Haram Islamist militants.
More than 270 schoolgirls were seized from the north-eastern town in April 2014, sparking international outrage.
Mr Usman said the latest girl to be found was discovered by soldiers screening escapees from Boko Haram's base in the Sambisa forest.
Boko Haram has been fighting a long insurgency in its quest for an Islamic state in northern Nigeria. The conflict is estimated to have killed more than 30,000 people.
What lies ahead for freed Chibok girls?
Boko Haram has kidnapped thousands of other people during its seven-year insurgency in northern Nigeria and many people have been made homeless.
The freeing of 21 girls in October came after talks mediated by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Swiss government.
Until then, there had only been one confirmed release of a student kidnapped from Chibok - a 19-year-old woman found by an army-backed vigilante group.
More than 50 managed to escape on the day they were captured.
Officials have promised to find the remaining 200 still being held.
Sky Ballantyne, 12 and sister Kia, 14, will appear on the BBC Two show on Sunday.

The harness, worn by children learning to ride a bicycle, has a handle on the back for parents to hold on to, putting a stop to bad backs and scraped knees.

Lukasz Artur Kubik, who is originally from Poland, was convicted earlier this year of raping and sexually assaulting the 52-year-old woman in January 2013.
The judge told the court Kubik, who has lived in Northern Ireland since 2006, had 28 previous criminal convictions both in Northern Ireland and Poland.
She said he had been deemed to present a significant risk to the public.
The judge added that she was extending his licence for a further three years - meaning that after serving four and a half years of his sentence, Kubik will be eligible to apply for parole.
During the trial, the jury heard the woman was attacked as she made her way home from a relative's house during the early hours of 31 January 2013.
She had gone to a taxi depot in east Belfast, but it was closed.
She then spoke to a group of men and women outside the depot, including Kubik.
The trial was told he later raped her in the nearby car park, shortly after the rest of his group left the area.

Edna Atherton was 88 when she fell from the platform, suffering broken ribs and a cut head at Birkenhead's Hamilton Square station in July 2015.
The prosecution had claimed Martin Zee, 33, had not followed Merseyrail's door closure safety procedure fully.
But the defence argued the fall was an accident, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
They said there was a "fundamental failing" in the 17-point safety procedure itself, because the curve of the platform meant there were several blind spots.
The trial was shown CCTV footage of Mr Zee leaving the back of the train and walking to the wall of the platform to check all passengers had got off and on the carriages.
After Mr Zee pushed the button to close the doors, two women can be seen trying to board the front of the train. As the doors were reopened and closed, one of them fell between the train and the platform.
Mr Zee, of Coronation Road, Runcorn, Cheshire, had pleaded not guilty to a charge of endangering the safety of railway passengers by wilful omission or neglect.
The jury cleared him after two hours of deliberations.
A Merseyrail spokesman said its internal investigation and another by safety regulator the Office of Rail and Road "found there was no case to answer".
"The door closure warning alarm is in place to alert passengers to the danger of closing doors and we rely on passengers heeding that warning and not attempting to board or alight while the doors are closing."
A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "It is our duty as a police force to investigate and present the evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service."

Harry Chivers, from Bangor, received the £80,000 miniaturized ventricular assist device (MVAD) at Newcastle upon Tyne's Freeman Hospital two weeks ago.
His health was failing after he suffered a heart attack in last August.
Experts have said the new pump is a "huge step forward" for heart patients.
Mr Chivers, 63, was waiting for a heart transplant when the possibility of pioneering the pump arose.
The retired father-of-three travelled to the Freeman Hospital for the treatment by Prof Stephan Schueler.
Since then he has made good progress and could be allowed home next week.
His consultant cardiac surgeon said the device, that is smaller than predecessors and with settings that allow it to adapt to the patient's lifestyle, sits on the tip of the heart and helps it to pump blood.
Prof Schueler said there were hundreds of thousands of people with advanced heart disease, but in the past treatment was limited to an "elite" few who could receive a transplant.
"They have now the choice to get these revolutionary devices. It is the fourth generation and they are tiny," he said.
The MVAD weighs 78g and is about the size of a golf ball, and is said to be about half as large as previous devices.
It is powered by a battery pack from a wire that passes out of the patient's abdomen.
The pack can be carried in a bag or around the waist.
Mr Chivers said he was "getting a lot better" after having the MVAD fitted.
"I feel great, it has really improved my breathing and the operation has gone really well," he said.
"I was quite happy to volunteer here because I have 100% confidence in the fantastic hospital.
"I'm eating a lot better, I'm getting around and working on my physio.
"There's a long way to go but I'm going to do it."
The Freeman's ventricular assist device co-ordinator Neil Wrightson said the new pump's size made it a huge step forward.
He said Mr Chivers was slumped in his chair and looked "appalling" when they first met in a Belfast hospital.
The pump's availability had come "in the nick of time" for him.
"He is not a dying man anymore," Mr Wrightson said.
Patients would need to be ill enough to require a heart transplant but well enough to recover from the treatment, he added.
He said because of its small size it could be suitable for children with heart disease, and it will now go through a lengthy trial process.
Worst hit was Moore, south of the city, where neighbourhoods were flattened and schools destroyed by winds of up to 200mph (320km/h).
About 120 people are being treated in hospitals. Earlier reports said more than 90 people had died.
President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in Oklahoma.
He also ordered federal authorities to join in the search efforts which have continued throughout the night.
By Jonny DymondBBC News, Moore
There is lightning in the sky above Moore, flickering on and off every 10 or 20 seconds; at ground level the only light is from the blue and red flashing lights of emergency vehicles and the bright portable lights with generators at their bases.
It is deceptively calm; insects chirrup in the background. Everywhere is covered in a light spray of soggy debris and a film of mud.
At the deserted Moore police station, cars are spattered with mud. Larger concrete structures are still standing - a cinema, a supermarket, reminders of what there was before the tornado struck.
But houses, offices and shops have been torn apart by the force of the winds that ripped through here, sturdy telephone poles snapped at their bases, street signs sent flying.
And most disconcerting - though unsurprising - is the complete absence of any residents.
In pictures: Tornado before and after
Monday's twister hit Moore, a suburb of about 55,000 people, at 15:01 (20:01 GMT) and remained on the ground for about 45 minutes.
On Tuesday morning, the chief administrative officer of the Oklahoma City Medical Examiner's Office told reporters that the death toll had been revised down.
"Fifty-one deaths were reported to the OCME during the early phases of the recovery efforts yesterday," Amy Elliott said.
"To date, 24 deceased victims of the tornado have been transported to our Oklahoma City Office, and positive identification have been made in the vast majority of those, and these are ready for return to their loved ones."
Earlier, local authorities said a further 40 bodies had been found but not identified.
Several children are believed to have been killed when Plaza Towers Elementary school took a direct hit. The storm tore off the building's roof and knocked down walls.
"The school was flattened. The walls were pancaked in," Oklahoma's Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb told the BBC.
"There's still roughly two dozen children that are missing. There have been some bodies recovered from that school and it's absolutely horrific and devastating."
Another school - Briarwood Elementary - was also damaged, and teachers were later seen leading pupils out to safety.
Lt Gov Lamb said Moore had been prepared for a tornado, but not of this strength: "There was a warning in place, but when it veers and is as extensive as this one is - two miles wide - on the ground for 45 minutes, that is just wreaking havoc that it's hard to get out of the way of."
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said it was a "tragic" day.
More than 200 Oklahoma National Guardsmen as well as out-of-state personnel have been called in to assist the search-and-rescue effort.
The storm destroyed several areas, leaving a tangle of ruined buildings, piles of broken wood, overturned and crushed cars, and fires in some places.
The BBC's Alastair Leithead in Oklahoma says many tornadoes in the region hit the open plain, but this one struck a residential area.
Many houses are built on hard ground without basements, so residents did not have recourse to shelter, our correspondent adds.
"We locked the cellar door once we saw it coming, it got louder and next thing you know is you see the latch coming undone," survivor Ricky Stover said.
"We couldn't reach for it and it ripped open the door and just glass and debris started slamming on us and we thought we were dead, to be honest."
Melissa Newton, another survivor, said: "There's shingles and pieces of sheet rock and wood in our yard and all across our neighbourhood. Some homes are completely gone. It's devastating."
James Rushing said he had hurried to Plaza Towers Elementary School, where his foster son Aiden was a pupil, to see it destroyed by the storm.
"About two minutes after I got there, the school started coming apart," he told the Associated Press news agency.

The National Weather Service (NWS) said Monday's tornado had generated winds of up to 200mph.
"It's certainly the most powerful tornado that I've ever dealt with in my 20 years with the weather service," NWS meteorologist Rick Smith in Norman, Oklahoma, told the BBC.
The NWS said the tornado measured EF-4 on the five-point Fujita scale - the second most powerful type.
The town of Moore was hit by a severe tornado in May 1999, which had the highest winds ever recorded on Earth.
But Betsy Randolph of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol told local news station Skynews 9 that the damage on Monday appeared to exceed that of the 1999 tornado.
Tornadoes, hail and high winds also hit Iowa and Kansas, part of a storm system stretching from Texas to Minnesota.
On Sunday, a tornado smashed a trailer park on Highway 102 near Shawnee, Oklahoma.
Oklahoma's state medical examiner confirmed earlier on Monday that two people had been killed in the area.
The star played 18 songs over two hours, in what was her first UK concert in four-and-a-half years.
Dedicated fans had travelled from Japan and South Africa to see her perform, but Adele also had a message for anyone attending under duress.
"I know some of you have been dragged along," she joked, "but I'm going to win you over."
"Although some of my songs get a bit depressing."
By the end of the night, however, even the steeliest of hearts would have been forced to concede she had brought the goods.
Adele: The full story
Even if they weren't moved by the songs - Set Fire To The Rain, Make You Feel My Love, Rolling In The Deep - there was always Adele's disarming and bawdy humour.
She first addressed the audience 15 minutes into the show, explaining: "They told me not to talk for three songs so my nerves could calm a little."
After that the floodgates opened. She discussed perspiration ("I need to wipe the puddle off me face"); Bob Dylan ("I couldn't understand what he was saying"); and being a working mum ("you should have seen me in the dressing room - I had to do an emergency shave on my legs").
The 27-year-old, who openly admits to suffering stage fright, also talked about her toilet habits for the day.
But for many fans, this no-frills honesty is what makes Adele so endearing - and sets her apart from contemporaries like Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Rihanna.
"She's just so down to earth. She's not a superstar, she's normal," said Rosemary Shield, who attended the show from Belfast.
"She talked about her wee boy and she talked about going to the zoo. Just normal things that we all do."
"I love how she acts on and off stage," agreed Melissa Gordan, who had travelled from Johannesburg for the opening night.
"She's just human. I think she's a phenomenal person."
Hiroki Takahashi, who had flown 18 hours from Saitama, near Tokyo, to attend the concert, added: "She has a powerful energy and an amazing voice.
"My dream has come true."
The concert began simply enough, with a moody black and white projection of Adele's eyes on two gigantic silk screens, as the refrain from Hello echoed around the arena.
Then, to the audience's surprise, the star rose out of a satellite stage in the middle of the auditorium (she had been smuggled underneath it, inside a black box, 10 minutes earlier).
It was one of a small handful of production flourishes in what turned out to be a simple, stripped-back stage show.
For the most part, Adele stood, or sat, at the front of Belfast's SSE Arena, belting out the hits with a large grin plastered across her face.
There were no pyrotechnics, no video interludes and no costume changes. She wore a black sequinned custom Burberry dress all night, exuding an old school glamour.
"It's not a Beyonce show," she noted, drily at one point.
Despite a few jitters at the Grammy Awards two weeks ago, her voice was flawless throughout.
It's no secret that Adele possesses a powerful set of lungs (a high note on When We Were Young made some people around me gasp) but she refrains from the showboating that ruins many divas' performances, instead aiming directly for the emotional core of her songs.
The show also highlighted the subtlety of her phrasing, particularly when she dipped into her low register on Million Years Ago - although that may have been helped by the fact she "woke up sounding like Arnold Schwarzenegger" after leaving the air conditioning on in her hotel room.
Further highlights included her Oscar-winning Bond theme, Skyfall, during which searchlights dramatically swept over the arena; and a warm-hearted audience singalong to Someone Like You.
Musically, the songs stayed true to the recordings - except for a playful acoustic take on Send My Love (To Your New Lover) - aided by a 21-piece backing band that included an eight-strong string section.
In the tour programme, Adele said the production was guided by two big questions: "How do I make an arena show feel intimate?" and "how do I put my stamp on a big industrial room?"
The answer turned out to be deceptively simple: Play the hits and have a chinwag.
No doubt the show will develop over the coming months - there are more than 100 dates pencilled into Adele's diary before November - but the pacing, flow and sound design have already been meticulously and thoughtfully honed.
"This was the best way to kick off our world tour," Adele declared as she left the stage.
"I could get used to this."
Needing a point to end a wait stretching back to the 1958 World Cup, Chris Coleman's side were beaten by Milan Djuric and Vedad Ibisevic's second-half goals.
But they went through anyway thanks to Cyprus' 2-1 victory in Israel, which sparked wild celebrations from the away fans in Zenica.
Wales' first defeat of the campaign saw them overtaken at the top of Group B by Belgium, who qualified with a 4-1 win in Andorra.
Relive the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
Those success-starved supporters can now look forward to next summer's tournament in France, and consign half a century of heartache to history.
Littered with false dawns and squandered opportunities, Welsh football has come to be defined by agonising failure - but not any more.
The current generation of Wales players grew up watching agonising near-misses. Paul Bodin struck the bar with a penalty in a defining World Cup qualifying defeat against Romania in 1993, while Mark Hughes' side lost a European Championship play-off against Russia 10 years later. It is the anguish of the past which has inspired this generation.

A year ago, Wales and Bosnia were inseparable in an absorbing goalless draw in Cardiff, and Coleman's men knew a repeat would clinch Euro 2016 qualification.
Top seeds at the start of the campaign, Bosnia needed a win to keep alive their play-off hopes but were without their captain and all-time leading scorer Edin Dzeko.
The Manchester City striker, on loan at Roma, failed to recover from a knee injury but, despite his absence, Bosnia began confidently with another Roma player, Miralem Pjanic, orchestrating matters in midfield.
Coleman had said beforehand Wales would "take the game to Bosnia" and, although there was attacking intent from the visitors, they were deprived possession for long periods.
Their best chance came moments before half-time as Aaron Ramsey jinked his way to within a yard of goal - but his and Neil Taylor's scrambled close-range efforts were thwarted by Bosnia goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.
The hosts improved in the second half and, roared on by their hostile crowd, took the lead as Djuric's header looped over Hennessey.
Bosnia sealed victory as Ibisevic tapped in from close range, and Welsh attention turned to the match between Israel and Cyprus.
While a point in Zenica would guarantee their place in France, Wales also knew they would qualify if Israel failed to win their final two fixtures against Cyprus and Belgium.
Israel were expected to beat Cyprus but, after 58 minutes, fell behind to a goal from Dossa Junior.
When news of that strike reached the 750 Wales fans in Zenica, their little pocket of the vociferous Bilino Polje Stadium erupted.
Delirium soon turned to anxiety when Israel equalised and Djuric headed Bosnia in front, much to the deafening delight of the home crowd in Zenica.
But there was a sense of mutual joy moments later, as Walsall defender Jason Demetriou put Cyprus back in front against Israel and put Wales back on the brink of history.
Regardless of the result against Bosnia, Wales knew they had the insurance of Tuesday's home game against an Andorran side without an away win in their competitive history.
The final fixture of a momentous campaign, the match at the Cardiff City Stadium has long been earmarked as the opportunity for Wales fans to welcome home their heroes with an almighty party.
The result will be academic now that qualification has been secured but, having suffered a first defeat of the campaign in Bosnia, Wales can end it on a high and toast their historic achievement in front of a delirious home crowd.

Wales manager Chris Coleman: "I've wanted this not only as a player and manager but as a fan, as a child growing up.
"We didn't know what the other result was but now we do and wow, I can't explain how it feels. We got a bit flustered in the second half but in the circumstances, you can understand that.
"It is a dream come true. All the players from my generation, and generations before, nearly got there, and it was really tough. But this group have gone that extra yard."
Wales forward Gareth Bale: "This is right up there in my career. It was a dream from when I was a small child to play in a major tournament. It doesn't stop here. We have business to do in France.
"We can breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the occasion. We can now test ourselves against the best."
Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey: "What a great moment for Welsh football. What an achievement to have made history, we are finally going to a major tournament.
"This group of players is quite special. It didn't quite happen tonight, but the togetherness, we've been really hard to beat.
"We're only a small nation, but we've done it. We're over the moon. Thanks to all the supporters. See you in France!"

Australian couple Sean and Shelley Thomas found it in a sand dune at Rattray Head on the north-east coast.
The note inside is dated 15 January 1971 and was written by then 14-year-old Raymond Davidson from Carlisle at the start of the 1970s.
Mr and Mrs Thomas tracked down Mr Davidson and his wife Denise after a social media campaign to find him.
Mrs Thomas said Mr Davidson has given it to the couple to take back to Brisbane as a souvenir.
He said he was "overwhelmed" by the social media campaign and he has had more friend requests since it started than when he opened his account.
A treaty signed by Australia and East Timor in 2006 outlined the allotment of billions of dollar in revenue from oil and gas fields in the sea between the neighbours.
Dili says Canberra was spying during these negotiations giving Australia an unfair commercial advantage.
It wants the treaty torn up and a new maritime border negotiated.
Claims were made before a tribunal in The Hague that the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (Asis) used listening devices, planted in East Timor's cabinet office under the guise of refurbishment, to obtain information about a Timor Sea gas treaty in 2004.
More than 10,000 activists gathered in Dili on Tuesday with schools across the capital closed for the day, organisers say.
"This is possibly the biggest demonstration we've seen since we declared independence," protest coordinator Juvinal Dias told the AFP news agency.
Timorese supporters in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines are expected to stage protests in solidarity.
Inside the sad, expensive failure of Google+ (Mashable)
After last week's uncoupling of Google+ and YouTube, many have been saying that's essentially it for the search giant's lonely social network. Here, Mashable has the inside line on how the site came to be. "Facebook is going to kill us," warned the maker of Google+, according to a Google exec quoted in the piece.
Smartphone survives 9,300ft fall (Times Record News)
Man drops smartphone out of a plane door, and incredibly, the device survives. Even more incredibly, it's an iPhone - a phone that doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation for handling falls. Not only was the phone intact, but it was working well enough to tell Wilson where to find it. Pretty remarkable.
Hitchhiking robot viciously attacked (AP)
A friendly robot named hitchBOT has been hitchhiking, on its own, across many parts of the world. First it was Canada, then Europe. Its latest journey was supposed to be from Marblehead in Massachusetts to right here to San Francisco. But it only got as far as Philadelphia before some mean-spirited hoodlum (they don't know who… yet…) attacked it, putting it out of action and leaving it untraceable. Bye hitchBOT, we hardly knew you.
Woman at centre of Reddit storm speaks (Adweek)
Victoria Taylor was the Reddit employee who was laid off recently, kicking off a chain of events that eventually ended up with the resignation of interim chief executive Ellen Pao. Taylor hadn't spoken about the whole ordeal until this weekend, where she gave a talk at a bloggers' conference in New York City.

Twenty-nine-year-old Harry Thornton, who was a father of six, was shot dead by another soldier as he drove past Springfield Road police station.
The witness was a teenage soldier in the Parachute Regiment at the time.
He has been giving evidence from behind a screen during the inquest in Belfast and is referred to only as "Soldier C".
He told the court on Tuesday that he believed a passenger in the van that Mr Thornton was driving had pointed a weapon out of the window of the vehicle and that two shots had been fired.
Soldier C also told Tuesday's hearing that he did not believe the two bangs he heard were the van backfiring.
On Wednesday morning, counsel for the Thornton family questioned the former paratrooper's version of events.
The lawyer produced Ministry of Defence (MoD) personnel files showing that before the shooting, Soldier C had pleaded guilty to Army charges of being asleep while on sentry duty, and of being inattentive while on patrol.
He also produced evidence of a traffic incident in 1975 where Soldier C had made false statements.
The family's lawyer told the witness: "You cannot tell the truth, you manipulate the truth."
Soldier C replied: "That is incorrect"
Looking at the comments of commanding officers about Soldier C, the Thornton family's lawyer quoted an Army captain and a major from redacted documents.
One of them said of Soldier C: "He must learn to tell the unvarnished truth."
The commanding officer added: "He always has a plausible injured innocence."
Soldier C told the court that he was still in the Army 26 years later and had been awarded the British Empire Medal.
"If I was that bad a soldier... why was I still in the regiment?" he asked.
Counsel for the MoD and the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) pointed out that Soldier C had travelled to Belfast and co-operated with the inquest voluntarily, despite ill health.
After completing his evidence to the inquest, Soldier C made a brief statement saying he felt that it was important that someone who was there at the time of the shooting said "sorry".
The man who fired the fatal shot, known at the inquest as Soldier A, has since died.
Mr Thornton was an unarmed civilian who had no connection to any paramilitary group.
Following his death in 1971 there was sustained rioting in west Belfast.
The killings of 10 people who were shot dead by the Army, in a period later known by the victims' families as the Ballymurphy Massacre, began two days later.
In 2012, the government wrote a letter of apology to Mr Thornton widow, Mary, confirming that her husband had been an "innocent man".
The actor and comedian took his own life at his Californian home at the age of 63.
Ms Williams told NBC's Today Show there was "no point" in asking why her father killed himself.
"We don't have an explanation," she told reporter Kate Snow. "There's no point questioning it... blaming yourself or the world. It happened."
The 25-year-old said it was "going to take a lot of work to allow myself to have the sort of fun, happy life that I had, but that's important".
"Anybody who has ever lost anyone works very hard to continue that memory in a positive way."
Williams, who was famous for films such as Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society and Mrs Doubtfire, was understood to have been battling depression at the time of his death.

"A lot of people feel his absence," said his daughter. "The side of him that people know and love... is the characters that he had so much fun being."
"I do think that's what a lot of people will hold on to. That's not going anywhere. They knew a dad that he was proud of them knowing. Laughter was incredibly important to him."
But she added he was also very private, calm and subdued.
Reflecting on her own memories she said: "They are mine and I love that. They are private and lovely and perhaps very different. Who knows?"
She revealed she had acquired a hummingbird tattoo on her right hand shortly after his death.
"I like hummingbirds. They're fun and flighty and strange. It's hard to keep them in one place and Dad was a bit like that," she said.
"Sometimes there are going to be days where things are really difficult and having a reminder that is permanently there is nice."
The NFL imposed the punishment following the "Deflategate" scandal.
NFL officials found that Mr Brady had colluded with New England Patriots team members to deflate footballs below the allowable limit during a playoff game.
Mr Brady can now play on 10 September against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman found that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's penalty suffered from "several significant legal deficiencies" including failing to notify Mr Brady about the possibility of a punishment against him.
"The court finds that Brady had no notice that he could receive a four-game suspension for general awareness of ball deflation," Judge Berman wrote.
Commissioner Goodell's inquiry concluded that Mr Brady "knew about, approved of, consented to, and provided inducements and rewards" to ensure that game balls were deflated.
Deflated footballs are considered easier to throw and catch.
In an appeal hearing last June Mr Brady admitted to NFL investigators that he had destroying his mobile phone, but claimed it was to preserve his family's privacy.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement that the league will appeal the judge's ruling.
"The commissioner's responsibility to secure the competitive fairness of our game is a paramount principle.... While the legal phase of this process continues, we look forward to focusing on football and the opening of the regular season."
Experts say Thursday's ruling is unlikely to put an end to the controversy, which has dominated sports headlines in recent months.
On Twitter, football fans are using the term "Teflon Tom," referring to a non-stick coating used on cooking pans, to either support or disparage Mr Brady.
"No one likes a cheater. Terrible message it sends to the youth and adults when obstruction of justice goes unpunished," one message on Twitter read.
ESPN sports reporter Steve Levy tweeted that while in a Boston hospital, he heard an announcement over the loudspeaker saying that "Tom Brady is free".
In the South West, home to plenty of the many voters who chose Brexit and voted for UKIP last time round (3.8 million UKIP voters at the last election), a message that says unashamedly she is ready to do battle over the After Eights is hardly likely to be a problem.
Around the country too, there are 71 currently Labour constituencies where the number of UKIP voters in 2015 was bigger than the size of the Labour majority.
We have, of course, to be wise to what is going on. In the Brexit negotiations there will be dozens and dozens of episodes of spin wars. And our election will be full of it too.
But Theresa May's comment is revealing about her strength, and also her weakness. No political leader wants to be seen to be pushed around. When the UK talked tough as a member of the EU the others had no choice but to listen.
But now the UK is on the way out, the incentives for the others to pay attention - let alone do our bidding - is very different.
Refusing to be pushed around is one thing, refusing to show any sign of compromise or listen quite another.
PS Remember of course that there is a strong argument we've discussed here, that pushing for a bigger majority will ultimately allow Theresa May to compromise over Brexit much more than she has so far signalled. But it's perfectly possible, if deeply ironic, that her language to get her to the majority she hopes for becomes tougher towards the EU.
Open data published by Nasa was used to make the map, which has been posted on the OS Flickr account.
This is the first time that OS has produced a map of territory from another planet.
It has also been printed in a one-off edition for a British scientist helping to plan the landing of a rover on Mars in 2019.
"It was a little hard at first to actually understand the data itself in terms of things like the elevation and the scale and so on," said the OS cartographer behind the map, Chris Wesson.
"But actually the physical process was almost identical to what was used to make an Earth map, or any OS map."
The map itself covers roughly 10 million sq km (3.8 million sq miles) - or about 7% of the total Martian surface.
Mr Wesson said he could imagine a future astronaut using a copy of the map - perhaps in digital form - when exploring Mars.
"You have these large areas that looked flat but they're actually really rocky and uneven surfaces - that was the most difficult bit of the map, to try to show that but put it in proportion to these huge craters," he told the BBC.
OS was asked to make the map by Dr Peter Grindrod, a British scientist at Birkbeck, University of London.
Dr Grindrod is helping to plan the landing of the European ExoMars rover in early 2019.
"He's given extremely good responses so far," said Mr Wesson.
Dr Grindrod said he had always admired OS maps and pointed out that they are good at including lots of information in an easily read format.
"It's wonderful to see the same style applied to Mars, and especially such a fascinating region," he said.
Profits at Bank of America were $4.35bn (£3.44bn), up 44% from the same period in 2016, with gains across its major divisions.
Goldman Sachs profits rose 80% from a year earlier to $2.2bn.
But the firm disappointed analysts with a decline in revenues from institutional investors.
Shares in Goldman Sachs fell more than 3% after the market opened.
Goldman chief executive Lloyd Blankfein said: "The operating environment was mixed, with client activity challenged in certain market-making businesses and a more attractive backdrop for underwriting in our investment banking franchise."
Goldman said revenue in the January to March period was about $8bn. Investment banking revenue rose 16%, but its institutional client services unit - the largest division by revenue - declined 2% from the 2016 first quarter.
Total costs at the bank increased by 15%, driven by higher pay.
At Bank of America, gains in the global banking unit helped to boost profits in the January-to-March period. The division's net income was $1.7bn, rising 58% year-on-year due to record investment banking fees.
Total revenue increased 7% to $22.2bn.
"The US economy continues to show consumer and business optimism, and our results reflect that," chief executive Brian Moynihan said.
Bank of America, which serves some 46 million households, last year was hurt by losses related to property and the energy industry in the first quarter. Those have declined, but the firm said it saw an uptick in credit card losses from the end of 2016.
Gwent Police said the incident happened at about 00:10 BST on Saturday on the A472 between Tredomen and Nelson.
It involved a Volkswagen Polo and a Mini and the force said one of the drivers had been taken to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales.

Jen Offord, by her own admission, is not naturally sporty or athletic. Like many Londoners, she says, she was worried about the prospect of the world turning up on her doorstep last summer.
"As the Olympics were approaching," Jen told Get Inspired, "I was feeling pretty cynical about them. I live in London - I thought it would be a nightmare.
"I thought the transport system would grind to a halt, nothing would work and there would be too many people here, it would all be a bit annoying.
"But as the Olympics got closer and the torch relay was getting under way, I was getting more excited - and London became a really fun place to be. I got quite into it all."
Plenty of people shared Jen's experience of Olympic and Paralympic London last summer, but few have since indulged in a turnaround quite so extreme. Shedding her Olympic cynicism, the 30-year-old embarked on a mission to try all 38 Olympic sports in one year.
"I was watching the triathlon with some friends in St James's Park, and was really getting excited by it all. I was thinking: 'Why don't I take up a sport?'
"I was thinking about all the different sports I had seen over the course of the Olympics that I could try. My friend said, why don't I have a go at all of them and then write a blog about it.
"I set myself a challenge of trying all the different Olympic disciplines within the space of a year, starting at the end of August last year. I'm determined to get them all done. I can't remember everything I've tried because there are so many of them, but I know I've tried lots of sports."
Jen's only previous sporting endeavour of this nature was the 2009 London Marathon, but she insists she was not "naturally athletic" as she embarked on her post-Olympic adventure.
"I didn't like sport at school, there weren't any sports that I played regularly. I ran the marathon in 2009 because it was an ambition I had always had, and after that I did a bit more exercise and went to a few more classes here and there, but the primary motivation for that was to enable me to eat more cake."
After setting up her blog, Jen managed to receive help from Team GB athletes who offered tips.
"Twitter has been responsible for a lot of it, I managed to get Team GB to retweet a link to my blog and Twitter feed, and off the back of that Sebastian Prieto retweeted it and I contacted him.
"He put me in touch with some of his team-mates and some other Olympians, so Chloe Rogers from the Team GB hockey team contacted me, and I got a tweet from Dame Kelly Holmes which was a big moment."
Jen now believes perspective plays a large role in people's attitudes to sport.
"A lot of people out there were like me. They maybe didn't like sport that much at school, they have a vague aspiration to get involved now, but they don't really know what they would try and how they would go about doing it.
"I've had people getting in touch who told me they enjoyed reading about the different sports I've tried, and thinking maybe they would have a go. It's been really nice to see other people either have an interest in it or be inspired by the project itself.
"I've tried so many things I wouldn't have tried otherwise. I'm definitely fitter, I'm definitely stronger and I'm happier as well. There are so many positive things about sport that have completely changed my view."
At the time we spoke to Jen, she had tried 28 of the 38 sports. Diving, mountain-biking, triathlon, sailing and more are yet to be conquered.
"The one thing I want people to take away from this is that there is a sport for everyone, but you may not know it yet," she concludes. "Go out and try the different sports and you will find the right sport for you."
Can Jen see herself continuing with any sports when the challenge has finished?
"I definitely want to keep up something, that may be the next challenge - to see how good I can get at one sport in a year."

The Northern Irishman joined Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win three of golf's modern majors by the age of 25.
McIlroy, 25, now just has the Masters left to complete a career Grand Slam.
Starting six clear, McIlroy fired a final-round 71 to finish 17 under as Garcia, who three times got to within two strokes, shot 66 and US Open runner-up Fowler 67.
American Jim Furyk, 44, matched his fourth place in 2006 with a 65 to end 13 under.
McIlroy added the Claret Jug - and a cheque for £975,000 - to the 2011 US Open and 2012 US PGA titles and became the second Northern Irishman to win the Open in four years after Darren Clarke's victory at Royal St George's in 2011.
Only five players have won all four majors in their career - Nicklaus, Woods, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.
"It feels incredible," McIlroy said. "It wasn't easy - there were a few guys making runs at me and I just needed to stay focused. To win three legs of the Grand Slam at 25 is a pretty big achievement."
Going into Sunday's final round, many observers suggested the tournament was McIlroy's to lose after three days of majestic golf over the links of Royal Liverpool.
Two stunning rounds of 66 gave him a four-shot lead at halfway and banished talk of "freaky Fridays" after his recent trend of spoiling a low opening round with a bad second one. A spectacular finish to his third round, with two eagles in his last three holes, took McIlroy six clear of Fowler, with Garcia seven back, going into the final day.
Urged on by a vocal crowd, McIlroy made a birdie at the first to reach 17 under and extend his lead to seven - an ominous sign for his rivals.
But if there was a feeling that the final day would become a procession, Garcia, bidding for a first major title at the 61st attempt, had other ideas. The 34-year-old, who played in the final group with Woods when the Open was last played at Hoylake in 2006, picked up two shots in his first three holes to join Fowler at 11 under after the American had birdied the second.

A wayward approach to the right of the long fifth cost McIlroy his first shot of the day, and Garcia's third birdie of the day minutes earlier at the same hole meant the lead was down to four.
The first stirrings of trouble for McIlroy came at the short sixth when his tee shot dribbled off the green and he missed a seven-footer for par to drop a second consecutive shot - cutting his lead to three.
He birdied the ninth to edge back four ahead of Garcia and five clear of Fowler at the turn but the drama ramped up again when Garcia, enjoying plenty of on-course support, eagled the par-five 10th to get within two.
McIlroy nudged three clear with a birdie of his own - only to find thick rough to the left of the short 13th and let another shot slip.
However, Garcia, who lost in a play-off to Padraig Harrington at Carnoustie in 2007, made arguably his biggest mistake of the day on the short 15th when he left his ball in the bunker with his second shot and made a bogey four.
The crowd were becoming increasingly raucous, and McIlroy had to single out one offender on the 16th tee, but he held his nerve to reach the 18th with a three-shot lead over Garcia and the resurgent Fowler.
After an iron off the tee for safety, McIlroy's second shot then found the right greenside bunker but a par five was enough to keep his rivals at bay. He pumped his first and threw his ball into the crowd before inviting his mum Rosie on to the green to celebrate with him.
"The lead never got less than two," McIlroy added. "I always felt I had that little bit of a cushion. I knew I had some holes where I could make birdie and 16 was the real hole for me which I think settled the championship.
"This is the first major my mum has been to that I've won, so mum, this one's for you. I just can't wait to get back and defend this thing at St Andrews next year."
For Garcia, it was a third runner-up finish in a major and a 19th top 10, while Fowler recorded his third top-five in this year's majors after finishing fifth at the Masters.
World number one Adam Scott ended 12 under, while defending champion Phil Mickelson was five under.
Woods, still chasing a 15th major title, carded 75 to finish six over in only his second tournament since March after returning from back surgery.
The 64-year-old Tom Watson, playing in what is likely to be his penultimate Open Championship before retiring at St Andrews next year, carded 68 to end one over.

Coleman, 46, has a contract until after the 2018 World Cup but has been linked with the vacancy at Crystal Palace as well as hinting he could walk away if Wales lose ground in qualification.
"I said if it comes to a point and we cannot affect our future, I need to sit down with the powers that be," he said.
Wales are third in qualifying group D, four points behind leaders Serbia.
Wales will travel to Serbia for their next qualifier on 11 June after naming a youthful pre-match training camp that included Exeter's 16-year old Ethan Ampadu.
However, Coleman has distanced himself from speculation linking him with his former club Crystal Palace, who are seeking a successor to Sam Allardyce.
Allardyce has resigned as the Selhurst Park club's manager, five months after he joined the Premier League club.
"I would love to go back to the Palace - I am not sure Prince Charles is just ready for me yet," joked Coleman, who recently received an OBE at Buckingham Palace.
"All I care about now is Wales. I don't think about after Serbia. I cannot afford to think past one game.
"Lots of things have been said on the back of comments I said at the start of the campaign [about leaving if Wales were not competitive] when I signed a new contract. That hasn't happened yet.
"But honestly I cannot go into a game of football thinking 'if we lose' because then I will have lost, we will have lost and I have never thought like that.
"When it comes that we cannot [qualify] - if it comes that we cannot - then there is a conversation to be had.
"But I think we will [qualify]. I am confident we will. I know it's a huge task for us. I still have the same excitement to do the job. I still have the same belief in the players and the team."
Coleman has named a 26-man squad for a training camp at the Vale do Lobo resort in Portugal before the qualifier in Belgrade which follows four successive draws in Group D.
The squad, which is without the suspended Gareth Bale and Neil Taylor, will be reduced to 23 for the trip to Belgrade.
"We are four points behind going to Serbia and we haven't got our best player, what can happen here?" Coleman added.
"I will tell you what can happen. We can go there and get a result that is what can happen.
"And then in the four games remaining we need to be looking at maximum points. We did that in the last campaign so why can't we do it again?
"This is one of the toughest groups but I think we are one of the best teams.
"I don't believe we are far off at all. And I will not start to think if this happens and it's a negative and my future.
"My future is Serbia, Belgrade that is what my future is. Can we produce and can we perform?"
When Wales travel to Serbia, they will be returning to the country where Coleman suffered the lowest point of his managerial career - a 6-1 thrashing in 2012.
That is another reason why the former Wales centre-back does not want to leave his role now.
"It wouldn't look very good now if I did jump ship before we go back to Serbia," he added.
"It would look cowardly as well, going back to Serbia where I got my backside spanked.
"It is a game I am really looking forward to. I don't know what is going to happen but I am used to the speculation.
"I am not ready to say to the FAW and Wales and to my players and to ring them up and say thanks for that. I don't think my journey is finished yet. I am not ready to hand this over to someone else, not yet I am not.
"So I am not thinking about anything else other than Serbia that is for sure."
But in our modern age, the digital moving trucks must also roar into action, as prime presidential online real estate gets a makeover, and eight years of President Obama's social media chat is confined to the national archives.
Let’s start with WhiteHouse.gov, the official website for the President, which as of noon Friday, has a brand new look - and has already provoked mild panic.
Many noted that pages about climate change were swiftly deleted. So too were pages about LGBT rights and various science policies.
But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Pages about everything were deleted as what was essentially Obama’s homepage was replaced with Trump’s.
That means posts about any former policy positions no longer exist on the White House website if you follow the original links.
So while the web address pointing to the White House’s position on climate change no longer works, the same can be said about Obama’s pages relating to the economy. Unpredictable as he is, no-one is suggesting Donald Trump is about to describe “money” as a hoax.
That said, on the new whitehouse.gov, a search for “military” will yield 154 results. “Climate change”? None.
Nervous internet sleuths have found one reference to climate change, a promise to lift the "harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the US rules".
Make of that what you will. People on Twitter certainly are.
Also wiped clean was the White House's petition website. On Friday, by 4pm in DC, only two petitions were posted on the site. The first demanded the release of the President's tax returns. The other demanded he put his businesses in a blind trust. If either petition gets 100,000 signatures, the White House has to provide a response - at least, that was the rule the previous administration set itself.
From @POTUS to @POTUS44
Speaking of which, it’s all change on Twitter too.
From today @POTUS - President of the United States - has been taken over by the Trump team. All previous tweets from Obama’s team - and Obama himself - have been deleted from that account, but archived under @POTUS44. The 44 relating of course to the fact Obama was the 44th US President.
The tweets were not, as a smattering of people blurted out, “deleted by Trump” once he had control of the account.
Twitter removed them - and that's because scrubbing the account of Obama’s tweets is a smart move for everyone involved. Had Twitter left the old tweets in place you’ll find yourself seeing people retweeting Obama’s words but with Trump’s identity attached, a recipe for misinformation disaster.
Trump’s first tweet on @POTUS posted a picture and a link to his inaugural address - the full text of which was posted on Facebook. Is Trump having a change of heart over his social network of choice?
Maybe. Facebook certainly offers the chance to speak more clearly at length, and, as the leader of the free world, it would be more useful to post to an audience of almost two billion rather than Twitter’s rather limited 300m.
We won’t know for sure until about 3am, DC time, tomorrow morning. Everyone will be surely waiting for those twilight hours to see if the President springs back into life posting his thoughts on his own personal account, @realDonaldTrump.

He previously declined an invitation to appear before the Business, Innovation and Skills select committee.
In a letter he accused MPs of "abusing Parliamentary procedure in order to create a media circus".
The committee has warned him that he could be in contempt of Parliament if he ignores the summons.
It will require Mr Ashley to give evidence at Westminster on 7 June.
A spokesman for the committee said it "reserved the right to take the matter further, including seeking the support of the House of Commons in respect of any complaint of contempt" should Mr Ashley not appear.
The invitation followed a BBC investigation into the work practices at the company's warehouse in Shirebrook.
In a letter to Mr Ashley, committee chairman Iain Wright MP said: "The committee would like to hear about the action that you have taken in response to reports in the media about the treatment of workers at Sports Direct and about the scope, progress and timetable of your own review of working practices that you announced in December.
"The treatment of low paid workers and enforcement of the national minimum wage are issues that the committee will be keeping under review over the coming months."
The Newcastle United FC owner was given a deadline of 21 March to respond to the letter.
In his response, on 10 March, Mr Ashley asked the committee to come to the Sports Direct premises in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, instead.
He wrote: "By refusing to visit Sports Direct to see things with your own eyes, you are missing out on a genuine opportunity to gain a detailed and balanced understanding of the matters you wish to discuss.
"I believe you are abusing parliamentary procedure in an attempt to create a media circus in Westminster, which is not in the best interests of any of the people who work at Sports Direct."
As president Mr Rajapaksa was credited by many Sinhalese people with winning the war against Tamil Tiger rebels who fought for more than 20 years for self-rule.
But his time in office - especially during the final defeat of the rebels in 2009 - was dogged by allegations of serious human rights abuses.
It may be that for the rest of his career he will gave to defend himself against these allegations, and also claims - which he strenuously denies - that he was corrupt while in power.
While he and his supporters argue that he had to act firmly and decisively to defeat one of the world's most dangerous terror groups, critics say that he presided over the indiscriminate shelling of civilians at the end of the war and has done little or nothing to stop the alleged rape and torture of Tamil civilians by the Sri Lankan security forces since it concluded.
Furthermore it is alleged that he made no real effort to seriously engage with Tamils - who comprise about 15% of the population - but instead opted to order a wave of repression directed at those who questioned his authority.
Mr Rajapaksa is a former lawyer who has described himself on his website as "a rebel with a cause". His core support is rural, conservative, Buddhist and dominated by the Sinhalese majority.
Renowned as a cunning political manoeuvrerer, his career throughout 2015 underwent a significant nosedive. He underestimated the level of support for his rival to the presidency, Maithripala Sirisena, in January and failed the following August to secure full political rehabilitation by winning the premiership.
Mr Rajapaksa won power in 2005 and went on to become South Asia's longest-serving leader. He sought an unprecedented third stint in office in January 2015, having defeated his last challenger - former army chief Sarath Fonseka - to win re-election to a second term in January 2010.
Gen Fonseka was later jailed for implicating the government in war crimes.
In both triumphs, Mr Rajapaksa's critics say he displayed a ruthless streak and a capacity to condone or overlook the use of violence if it served his political purposes.
The former president has consistently denied this, arguing that at the end of the war it was the rebels who failed to separate combatants from civilians, thereby exposing innocent people to incoming fire.
Whatever the truth, his hold on power was not seriously challenged for almost a decade, either from within his own party or from the ranks of the opposition. Reports abounded that he was grooming his eldest son, Namal, to succeed him.
However, Mr Sirisena - a former cabinet minister and ally - stood against him in the most recent election and won the backing of many voters and main opposition parties. Mr Rajapaksa accepted defeat and left the presidential palace hours before official results were announced.
Mr Rajapaksa used his time in power to consolidate his position. The constitution was changed to allow him to serve a third term, and three brothers were awarded influential positions, leading to accusations that he was running the country like a family firm.
The dynasty effectively controlled much of the national budget.
He was also accused of condoning a crackdown on dissent, and his supporters are alleged to have been involved in the murder of journalists who were critical of the government, claims rejected by the authorities.
The most high-profile example of this was the murder of newspaper editor Lasantha Wickrematunge in January 2009.
His case was all the more remarkable because he wrote an editorial - published posthumously - which accused President Rajapaksa's government of being responsible for his death.
"In the name of patriotism you have trampled on human rights, nurtured unbridled corruption and squandered public money like no other president before you," Mr Wickrematunge's editorial said in words addressed directly to the president.
The president and his supporters insisted that they had nothing to do with the murder.
His tenure was also characterised by impressive economic growth and ambitious infrastructure projects, including the construction of a new section of motorway connecting Colombo's international airport with its political and commercial centre.
His supporters say that continued economic growth also brought other benefits, ensuring for example that food supplies remained constant after the devastating 2004 tsunami.
When money from the West dried up because of concerns over human rights abuses towards the end of the civil war, Mr Rajapaksa tried to offset this by making overtures to China.
Some $360m (£226m) of borrowed Chinese money helped build a huge deep-water port at Hambantota - near the former president's birthplace - on the southern coast. It has been a project mired by corruption allegations.
Other major projects include a 35,000-seat cricket stadium, a convention centre, a new international airport and a broad-gauge railway.
Mr Rajapaksa, 69, became the country's youngest ever parliamentarian in 1970 at the age of 24.
He went on to become leader of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, prime minister in 2004, and then president in 2005.
He comes from a political family - his father, DA Rajapaksa, represented the same region of Hambantota from 1947 to 1965.
His cause was helped by his image as a folksy, back-slapping man of the masses. The former president is renowned for remembering peoples' names, and stripping to the waist when he visited temples.
Spiralling costs had forced the scrapping of renowned architect Zaha Hadid's futuristic original design.
The new design, by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, will cost 149bn yen ($1.2bn; £825m) to build.
Ms Hadid's plan would have cost 252bn yen, making it the world's most expensive sports venue.
Mr Kuma's design will cost an additional 4bn yen to design and maintain.
The scrapping of the design caused a row that eventually led to the resignation of Japan's Education and Sports Minister Hakubun Shimomura in October.
Mr Kuma's design echoes Japanese temple styles, with a low-lying steel and wood structure, surrounded by trees. It will sit more than 20 metres lower than the previous design and supporters say it fits better with its immediate environment, which includes the greenery around the nearby Meiji Shrine.
"I think this is a wonderful plan that meets criteria such as basic principles, construction period and cost," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said when he announced the choice.
Japan's Taisei Corp will lead construction of the new design.
It beat a rival proposal by architect Toyo Ito. That too was simpler than Ms Hadid's proposal, which was compared with a gigantic bicycle helmet or an oyster, and which would have taken up a much larger area - 78,100 sq m (840,660 sq ft) against 72,400 sq m for Kengo Kuma's concept.
Construction or the new design will also be quicker. Necessarily so when the International Olympic Committee deadline for completion is January 2020, ahead of the Games' start in July that year.
The new winning design has also attracted colourful comparisons, with some saying it looks like a stack of pancakes, or a hamburger.
Sixty-eight thousand spectators will pack the stadium, though that can be expanded to 80,000 after the Olympics, if needed. The old design had a capacity of 80,000 from the start and was expected to host the final of the Rugby World Cup in 2019.
The new stadium will not be built in time to host that event.
While there was Scottish 10,000m gold for Liz Lynch, now Liz McColgan, the Games came at a heavy financial cost due to the boycott by 32 out of the 59 competing nations.
Teams withdrew after being angered by the British government's attitude to apartheid-era South Africa.
One of the nations that pulled out was Bermuda.
As Scotland prepares to host the Games once more, memories of the Edinburgh Games were brought back this week when the Queen's Baton Relay - the main curtain raiser for the Games - passed through the North Atlantic island.
For Bermudian swimmer Victor Ruberry and 100m runner Bill Trott, 1986 was a farce.
It is an episode of their lives which still causes frustration.
Before the Games, Ruberry and Trott were gravely concerned like thousands of others about apartheid in South Africa. They remember discussions on the island about boycotting, but no decision was made and the athletes made their way to Scotland.
They just wanted to compete. However, the Bermuda Olympic Association (BOA) - the governing body of the team - was still considering what to do.
When the athletes arrived in Edinburgh, there were reports of safety concerns for the Bermudians. According to team manager John Morbey, this was one of the reasons given behind the team's eventual withdrawal.
"The night before the opening ceremony, a teammate and I caught a taxi and we went to a disco," recalls Trott, who was looking forward to his first Commonwealth Games having competed in the 1984 Olympics.
"There was no-one supervising us, and that is how safe we felt. As we came back late at night, we bumped into John Morbey and he had just found out that the Bermuda Olympic Association had pulled us out.
"That is when all the drama started. I was deflated."
Trott and Ruberry woke up on 24 July, the day of the opening ceremony, with no idea what was going on.
After a day of discussions, Trott remembers a call was eventually made to Bermuda's leader John Swan while the opening ceremony was taking place on television screens behind them.
Swan offered his support, and Trott and his teammates frantically got dressed into their Panama hats, blue blazers and beige shorts and rushed to Meadowbank Stadium to take part.
Having missed their slot, they marched on just before the host nation and received one of the biggest cheers of the night, with Scottish fans - facing a Commonwealth Games without half the Commonwealth - showing their delight.
Ruberry, meanwhile, missed the ceremony as he prepared to take part in his 100m breaststroke the following day.
He remembers Morbey coming into his room around midnight to confirm he would be swimming in the morning. By the time he had reached the pool, Ruberry knew it was all in vain.
The BOA had finally decided to remove the team from the Games.
Ruberry was disqualified for keeping his head under water at the end of his race.
He said: "Your mental state was not one where you were focused on competition.
"It was an abysmal swim. It was nowhere near what I was prepped to do prior to that. I am not making excuses, I just did not feel ready. At one point we were packing our bags, the next moment we were unpacking our bags."
After the team's withdrawal, Morbey went on television in disgust over the BOA's decision while the athletes hung their bed sheets out the window with 'Bermuda wants to stay, don't penalise our athletes' written on one.
When the Bermudians returned home, Trott remembered an island sympathetic towards the athletes but behind the decision to boycott.
Twenty-eight years later, the athletes still reflect on what the 1986 boycott meant for them.
Trott said: "It was unfortunate that we were put in a situation like that. What I learnt from all of that was politics can play a role in some cases that it shouldn't."

For Ruberry, the Edinburgh Games were the second time his dreams had been shattered by a political boycott after missing out on the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
He gave up swimming, believing the countless hours of training were not worth it when it could all be scuppered by a boycott.
He returned to the pool for the 1988 Olympics, and now works as a swimming coach on the island.
He said: "Any sporting event brings people together. Boycotts serve to divide.
"They are a huge disappointment for the athletes who have been training so hard for something like that, and all of a sudden you take away the goalposts.
"I still to this day don't believe there is a place for boycotts in sport. There is so much more that can be accomplished by the positives - the healthy competition, people coming together.
"If you are going to do something political, then don't use the athletes as pawns."
Eileen Means said the cause of "hundreds" of suspensions was unclear as the party had failed to notify them.
She said the process was "extremely unfair" as those affected "don't know what offence they've committed".
A Labour spokesman said those suspended will also have their votes cancelled in the party's leadership elections.
The party added it has a "robust validation process" to ensure all votes meet "Labour Party rules".
Labour's ruling body, the National Executive Committee (NEC), issued new social media guidelines which party members had to sign up to this week.
Ms Means believes most of the suspensions - from the 6,700 strong Bristol membership - were down to infringements of the new guidelines.
She described the suspensions as "too heavy" for some of the "so-called offences".
"There's a grave suspicion that it is a purge and a lot of members are using that term," she said.
"I think they are suspending anybody who does abuse anybody [else] but there's no doubt that people who support [Jeremy] Corbyn outnumber the people who support Owen [Smith] - certainly in Bristol."
During the past month, three Labour councillors - Harriet Bradley, Hibaq Jama, and Mike Langley - have been suspended, pending further investigations, costing the party its majority on the city council.
In an open letter to the NEC, a number of Bristol Labour members protested against the councillors' suspensions claiming the move had "done serious damage to the local party".
It said the councillors were given "so little information" it was "nearly impossible" to determine why they were suspended.
In a statement, Labour said it would not comment on individual cases but confirmed decisions "about individual members" was taken by the NEC.
"Members who have been contacted by the Labour Party to confirm they are not deemed eligible to vote can contact the party to obtain the evidence considered by the NEC," it said. | A golf ball-sized heart pump could transform thousands of dying patients' lives after a County Down man became the first person in the world to have it fitted.

Elizabeth-Anne Dixon, 35, pled guilty at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
Dr Stewart Rhind and Dr Julian Dawson suffered fatal injuries after the car they were travelling in collided with another vehicle on the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen road two years ago.
The loss of both lives was described as an "immense loss" to Scottish science.
According to court papers, the 35-year-old drove her blue Volkswagen Golf from the central reservation onto the southbound carriageway of the road, near Fordoun, when it was "unsafe to do so".
Her actions then caused fellow motorist William Spiers to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
In doing so Mr Spiers was said to have lost control of his black SAAB 9-3 estate, crossing the central reservation before colliding with the silver Vauxhall Astra estate carrying a scientific team from the Institute.
Dr Dawson and Dr Rhind, who were based at agricultural research centre the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen, both died from their injuries at the scene.
They had been returning to Aberdeen with colleagues after attending a meeting in Stirling.
Mr Spiers and the driver of the Vauxhall, Geoffrey Elliot, were also injured in the crash.
The A90 was closed for more than eight hours to allow collision inspectors to examine the scene.
Dixon, from Laurencekirk, had her sentence deferred until next month for reports and she was released on bail.
She has been disqualified from driving in the interim.
Dr Rhind, from Westhill in Aberdeenshire, worked internationally and had collaborated with scientific teams in the US and Australia on animal research issues.
He had worked at the Hill Farming Research Organisation, which later became the James Hutton Institute, since 1979 and had worked there ever since.
He was also the postgraduate student liaison officer for the Aberdeen branch of the Institute.
Dr Dawson, 42, was a graduate of Aberdeen University and had returned to the city to work for the Hutton Institute three years before the fatal crash.
He had completed his PhD at the University of Aberdeen in 2000.

Larissa Muldoon's converted first-half try, against a Mahalia Murphy score, had Ireland 7-5 ahead at the interval.
Shannon Parry's touchdown edged the Wallaroos in front but replacements Ciara Griffin and Sophie Spence crossed to put Ireland on the road to victory.
The 2014 semi-finalists survived a late scare after prop Hilisha Samoa's try was converted by Ashleigh Hewson.
Ireland face Japan in their second group match on Sunday at the same venue, the UCD Bowl in Dublin, while Australia must try to re-group against France.
Defending champions England opened up this year's tournament by running in 10 tries in a 56-5 victory over Spain, while the USA beat Italy 24-12 in the other Pool B match.
New Zealand and Canada are the favourites to progress from Pool A and both started with victories, the Black Ferns beating Wales 44-12 and Canada winning 98-0 against newcomers Hong Kong, while France thrashed 14-woman Japan 72-14 in the other match in Pool C.
Bereft of regular captain Niamh Briggs because of an Achilles injury, Ireland were led into the tournament by Claire Molloy as they set out to at least match their achievement of three years ago, when they lost to England in the last four.
Ireland, the 2013 and 2015 Women's Six Nations champions, went in as strong favourites, even though opponents Australia are just one place below them in the world rankings, in sixth.
Their opponents had lost all five matches they had played since the 2014 competition, albeit against highly ranked sides in England, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia have been concentrating on the Sevens version of the game, winning gold at the first Olympic tournament in Rio in 2016.
Yet they dominated territory and possession in the opening 10 minutes, before Ireland started to pile on the pressure.
Scrum-half Muldoon found a gap in the Australian defence midway through the half as she picked up and darted over for the match's first try, Nora Stapleton converting.
Australia were matching the Irish for physicality and responded eight minutes later when Murphy went over at full pelt in the corner after full-back Samantha Treherne sent an accurate looping ball over to the winger following a quick throw from a lineout.
Treherne was unable to add the extra two points after the ball fell off the tee just as she was about to kick the conversion.
Australia captain Parry barged over from close range 15 minutes after the resumption to nudge her side three points ahead, Treherne fluffing the conversion well wide of the posts.
A powerful drive by Ireland's forwards helped Griffin barge over for a converted try and Ireland looked to be well in control when Spence was adjudged by the television match official to have grounded the ball in the corner with 10 minutes left.
Soon after, Samoa managed to twist and turn and dot the ball down at the other end despite the attention of four Irish defenders who were unable to halt the progress of the Australia prop.
"That was a tough match. We knew Australia would be a physical side and they really put it up to us," Ireland captain Molloy told ITV after the game.
"I am proud of the grit, resilience and resolve shown by the girls. We knew we would create scoring opportunities if we stuck at it."

Commentary on Ireland's pool matches will be on 5 live sports extra and the BBC Sport website
The advert, which appeared in Elle UK magazine, featured a photo of a woman whose rib cage was visible and appeared prominent, the regulator said.
It upheld a reader's complaint that the advert was "irresponsible" for using a model who appeared unhealthily thin.
Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) and Elle UK declined to comment on the ruling.
The ASA said YSL "indicated that they did not agree with the complainant's view that the model was unhealthily thin" but did not provide a detailed response.
Elle UK told the watchdog it had no comment to make on the complaint.
The ASA said the model's pose and the lighting drew particular focus to her chest, where her rib cage was visible and appeared prominent, and to her legs, where her thighs and knees appeared a similar width.
It said: "We therefore considered that the model appeared unhealthily underweight in the image and concluded that the ad was irresponsible."
It ruled that the advert must not appear again in its current form, adding: "We told the advertisers to ensure that the images in their ads were prepared responsibly."
The charity Anorexia and Bulimia Care (ABC) said it hoped the ASA's ruling sends a "clear message" to other media and fashion companies, which it said have a "great responsibility".
An ABC spokesperson told the BBC: "We applaud the ASA for taking the necessary action to ban the YSL advert on the grounds of it being 'irresponsible.'
"While eating disorders are most often caused by underlying emotional issues or events, the impact of the media on vulnerable young people can act as a dangerous catalyst - triggering disordered thinking and behaviour.
"Adverts using underweight models are promoting a distorted image of beauty and yet this has become the norm in the UK."
The ASA's ruling came as figures from the NHS showed that the number of hospital admissions across the UK for teenagers with eating disorders has nearly doubled in the last three years.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists said much of the increase was down to social pressure made worse by online images.
College spokesperson Dr Carolyn Nahman said she was worried about what she described as the sometimes fatal consequences of vulnerable teenagers putting themselves under pressure by looking at pictures of "ideal bodies" repeatedly on social media.
The eating disorder charity Beat cautioned that the rise in disorders reported by the NHS could also be due to better diagnosis and awareness, but said it showed it is "vital" that we protect young people from "excessive influences".
A Beat spokesperson told the BBC: "The ASA ruling is not about whether this person in the picture is healthy, but whether the images of her are being used in a way that can have an irresponsible effect on others and we are really pleased to see that they are taking action to uphold their responsibility for the social impact of adverts, as well as judging whether they are legal, decent, honest and truthful."
The charity said that the "constant portrayal" of a very slender look needs to challenged in order for young people to grow up with a robust sense of self-worth.
In April, French MPs approved a law to ban the use of catwalk fashion models deemed to be excessively thin.
Under the new law, modelling agencies which employ models below a certain Body Mass Index (BMI) level face fines or prison terms.
The law also penalises magazines which fail to state when photos have been retouched - with a fine of €37,500 or up to 30% of the amount spent on the advertising featuring the model.
Ian Twinn, direct of public affairs at Isba, a trade body which represents advertisers, said Wednesday's ruling from ASA was "useful in drawing a line over which advertisers must not cross".
He added: "But there can be no simple template. Some people are naturally thin, some of us are sadly not. Advertisers and regulators need to apply common sense, as the ASA has, and not vilify the thin, the rounded and the simply overweight."
Earlier this year, a campaign for the YSL perfume Black Opium was cleared by the ASA in January following complaints that it glamorised and trivialised drug use and addiction.
The French designer Yves Saint Laurent made his name when Christian Dior picked him to become his assistant at the age of 17. When Dior died three years later, Saint Laurent took over the Dior house.
He went on to co-found what was to become the multi-million-pound Saint Laurent fashion and perfume empire in 1962. He died in 2008.
The first major UK exhibition of the fashion of Yves Saint Laurent is to be staged at the Bowes Museum in County Durham next month.

Eriksson, the head coach of leading Chinese Super League team Shanghai SIPG, believes everything is now in place for China to succeed.
"This season it's gone crazy, totally crazy," said the Swede, 68.
"The president of the country is pushing for football. And if the government push for something in China things will happen."
While China excel at the Olympics and Paralympics, its men's team have only qualified for one football World Cup, in 2002.
But Eriksson believes that record will change and says winning the tournament is a realistic target.
The former Manchester City and Leicester City manager, who led England from 2001 to 2006, added: "Why not? Not the next World Cup. It will take 15, 20 years at least."
China's government set out plans in April to become a "world football superpower" by 2050, with a drive to get 50 million children and adults playing the game by 2020.
The head of China's Super League, Ma Chengquan, says his country sees hosting the World Cup as a catalyst that would improve the popularity of the game and the fortunes of the national side.
"After Qatar in 2022, for China our earliest target will be in 2030," he told BBC Sport in a rare interview.
"A country's capability to host such a big tournament depends on whether a country has developed to a certain level, it has the financial ability and can also provide facilities such as proper stadiums.
"Stadiums are not a problem for China - it has already hosted the 2008 Olympics and it's going to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
"It's more important right now for China to improve the level of our national team so it can perform better at the World Cup and so we can prepare for it."
Other targets established by the Chinese government include:
China's government also wants to diversify the Chinese economy by building a vast £550bn sports industry, with football set to play a leading role.
"The sports industry plays an important role in the economic development of a country, but in China the CSL was quite weak. So we really want to improve it and make it better," said Ma.
"We want CSL to be a leading example of the sports industry and to help the development of economic growth in China."
The growth in the CSL has seen some of the biggest names in world football sign for Chinese clubs in recent years.
In January, Brazil international Ramires joined Jiangsu Suning from Chelsea for £25m, while Argentina's Ezequiel Lavezzi left Paris St-Germain for Hebei China Fortune for a reported fee of £23.5m
China's transfer record was broken three times in 10 days during the most recent window.
It culminated in Liverpool being beaten to the signature of Alex Teixeira when the 26-year-old forward moved from Shakhtar Dontesk to Jiangsu Suning for a fee of £38.4m.
Speaking to BBC Sport, one of China's leading agents has warned fans of European clubs to expect more big names to head east.
"It's going crazy right now. We have a saying that the only two players who are not coming to China right now are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi," said Romain Woo, the founder of Van Hao sports agency.
"The other names? It's all highly possible. I know most of the big agents in Europe and they are all trying to push their clients to China right now if they're not having a good time in Europe."
Woo manages more than 50 of China's leading players and says Chinese clubs have also rejected transfer approaches from leading European clubs.
"Three of my players got chances to go to FC Copenhagen, to Real Madrid and Chelsea," he said.
"The problem is that they are way too important to their clubs here and they don't care about how big the transfer fee is."
That points to the collective will within China to set aside personal agendas and play a role in the government edict to improve the national team's fortunes.
"Maybe when their contract has expired or at another stage of Chinese football they can go," Woo said.
"But now it's a different stage of Chinese football and we want to keep all our best players in the league."

Pistorius has spent 10 months in jail for shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, after his conviction for manslaughter last year.
The Olympic athlete insists he mistook Ms Steenkamp for an intruder.
State prosecutors want his conviction to be reviewed and converted to murder, with a minimum sentence of 15 years.
Pistorius was jailed for five years in 2014 for the culpable homicide of Reeva Steenkamp, a charge equivalent to manslaughter.
Under South African law, Pistorius is eligible for release under "correctional supervision", having served a sixth of his sentence.
After being freed, he would serve the rest of his term under house arrest.
During sentencing, Judge Thokozile Masipa said the state had failed to prove Pistorius' intent to kill when he fired.
His defence team now has a month to file its response.
Ms Steenkamp's parents have said that the time he has served is "not enough for taking a life".

The double amputee shot and killed Ms Steenkamp through a locked bathroom door at his Pretoria home, believing she was an intruder, he told his trial.
In March a Johannesburg court blocked his legal team's attempts to stop the prosecutors' appeal.
Pistorius was born without the fibulas in both of his legs, and had surgery to amputate both below the knee while still a baby.
He went on to become one of South Africa's best-known sports stars, and was the first amputee to compete against able-bodied athletes, at the 2012 London Olympics.

Ralph Torres was sworn in as governor of the Northern Marianas in December 2015 following the sudden death of his predecessor Eloy Inos.
At 36, he became the youngest governor in Northern Marianas history.
During his inaugural speech, Mr Torres pledged "to do what's right".
The Northern Marianas government has sought to rebuild public trust since former governor Benigno Fitial was convicted of corruption in 2015.

Throughout 2015, the cameras will be positioned at 84 locations, allowing a team of scientists to record the type of animals passing through the area and where they make their home.
In the first four months since the cameras were deployed, the team has "trapped" more than 10,000 images of animals, suggesting the 30km zone, established shortly after the April 1986 disaster when a nuclear reactor exploded, ejecting radioactive material across the surrounding terrain and high into the atmosphere, is now home to a rich diversity of wildlife.
The network of cameras is gathering data that will help scientists choose the most appropriate species to fit with collars that will then record the level of radioactive exposure the animal receives as it travels across the zone.
"We want an animal that moves over areas of different contamination - that's the key thing we need," explained project leader Mike Wood from the University of Salford, UK.
"So we would consider some of the larger animals, such as wolves, because they would be ideal because the way the animal moves through the areas actually affects its contamination levels."
Commenting on the herds of Przewalski's horses, Dr Wood observed: "They seem to have adapted quite well to life within the zone.
"From the images from our cameras, they are clearly moving around in quite large groups," he told BBC News.
Dr Wood's team's project is part of a five-year research programme called Transfer, Exposure, Effects (Tree), which will aim to "reduce uncertainty in estimating the risk to humans and wildlife associated with exposure to radioactivity, and to reduce unnecessary conservatism in risk calculations".
Most of the fieldwork will be carried out within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ).
Late last year, one of Dr Wood's Ukranian colleagues - Sergey Gashchak - captured what was believed to be the first photographic evidence of brown bears within the CEZ.
But the tantalising glimpse of the bear is not enough to make it a candidate to fit with a collar.
Fitting collars to smaller animals, such as a fox, has disadvantages - such as limiting the size of the battery pack that can be fitted within the collar. Larger mammals are not without problems either.
"Once you start considering larger animals then it would be necessary to bring in a trained marksman," observed Dr Wood.
"There are difficulties with using firearms in Ukraine and will require additional permits to be put in place."
This means the team currently favours using bait to trap animals in cages, which will allow them to be fitted with the collars and for the individuals to be assessed by a vet before being released.
Illegal poaching is a problem within the CEZ, and one image captured by the cameras suggested that the elk in question had a narrow escape.
Dr Wood said that the team had to bear in mind the activity of poachers when they chose the most suitable species to wear the collars.
He explained that if the animal was killed then it would mean that the collected data would be limited or lost.
He added: "However, this is a concern that could be applied to any of the species because poachers going into the zone are unlikely to be overly selective."
"This image is a great example of how you could be going through an area and have a lynx just 20 or 30 yards away from you, yet you'd have no idea it was there," said Dr Wood.
"They can literally disappear into the background as they are so well camouflaged in this environment."
It also highlights why the camera traps, which will be capturing images until October 2015, are an important tool for the researchers.
They provide a more representative picture of what animals are found in an area, and whether they regularly visit particular locations.
Once the team has collected images from the 84 randomly selected locations across the exclusion zone, the next stage of the project - which is being undertaken by researchers from the University of Salford, the UK's Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, and the Chornobyl Centre - will be to fit tagging collars to the selected species.
This is expected to be carried out during 2016.
The proposed 40,000-seat building in Old Oak will replace the club's current Loftus Road ground, in Shepherds Bush.
The stadium will be part of a regeneration of the area, which is provisionally called New Queens Park.
"Loftus Road is - and always will be - a special place for the club and our supporters, but we need more than an 18,000 capacity," QPR chairman Tony Fernandes said.
"With no option of expanding here, we have to look elsewhere and we welcome the Mayor's and Hammersmith & Fulham Council's commitment to regenerate the area.
"Not only will this give us a top-quality stadium to cater for QPR's needs as the club progresses and grows over the years ahead, but we are very excited about being the driving force behind creating one of the best new urban places in the world."
The plans include a residential area with 24,000 new homes and a commercial space which will include a 350-room luxury hotel, studios, offices, cinemas and restaurants.
The regeneration is expected to generate 50,000 jobs.
Chief executive Philip Beard wants the new ground to retain some of the characteristics of Loftus Road.
He said: "We will look to build a stadium QPR fans and local residents can be proud of.
"Loftus Road is renowned for its atmosphere and with the help of our supporters, replicating that at our new stadium will be one of our top priorities."
Fernandes completed his takeover of the club, who were relegated to the Championship last season, in August 2011.
He first revealed the club were looking at alternative sites to Loftus Road in West London in November 2011 and Rangers confirmed they were in talks about the Old Oak site since August.
Antony Spencer, who is developing the masterplan for the project along with Sir Terry Farrell, said the area will be a "vibrant" development.
Old Oak is an area of industrial and railway land in between Old Oak Common Lane, Wormwood Scrubs, Scrubs Lane and Willesden Junction in west London. It is the site of a proposed new hub station for the HS2 rail line north, which will also incorporate the trans-London Crossrail project. It is two-and-a-half miles from QPR's current ground at Loftus Road.
"We are talking to a number of world-class architects to design iconic tall buildings akin to New York, the Far East and London's finest, as well as improving and incorporating the waterside environment of the Grand Union Canal."
He added: "We are now in a position to forge ahead as we have secured strategic land holdings in excess of 100 acres. We are confident of securing a planning permission by early 2015 and starting development shortly afterwards."
QPR is working with the Greater London Authority (GLA) and Hammersmith and Fulham Council on the plans, which need planning approval.
As part of the proposed redevelopment scheme, Old Oak is to be the main hub station in the capital for the HS2 high-speed rail project.
The GLA recently consulted residents on the plan for Old Oak, which it says will improve the local economy and see thousands of homes built.
If plans do go ahead, the area would be redeveloped by 2043, with the station open in 2026.
Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said he would scrap his ability to block some laws made in Wales about water.
He said the decision puts right a "long outstanding injustice" 50 years after the flooding of a Gwynedd village to create a reservoir to supply Liverpool.
The Welsh Government said it had called for the devolution of these powers "for some time", so welcomed the move.
In 1965, the village of Capel Celyn was flooded to create the Tryweryn reservoir to provide Liverpool with water, under a law passed in 1956.
Mr Cairns told BBC Radio's Good Morning Wales programme the changes settled an injustice "where Wales was failed".
"Every secretary of state up until now has ducked this tough issue whereby water within Wales and England is inter-related" he said, saying intervention powers over water legislation were maintained "from Ron Davies to Peter Hain".
Why does it matter that the UK government will no longer be able to block some Welsh laws on water?
There is the symbolism.
Today, planning laws might stop another Tryweryn but water remains a sensitive political issue.
It is also significant that Whitehall - after bruising negotiations between the Wales Office and DEFRA - has agreed to give up its veto.

The changes will be made as amendments to the Wales Bill, which is being debated in the House of Lords on Tuesday.
The Welsh secretary's powers to intervene on water-related legislation will be replaced by a legal agreement between the Welsh and UK governments.
The Wales Office said it was too early to say exactly when that would be, but said there would be no cost to the taxpayer and no change in how customers in England and Wales receive their water.
Former Plaid Cymru leader Lord Wigley said: "Plaid has fought hard over many years to get a fair settlement for Wales regarding water and to ensure that never again can a Tryweryn-type issue arise.
"I look forward to seeing exactly what the government has to say on Tuesday."
The changes will take effect once a formal agreement between the UK and Welsh governments has been signed.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We look forward to receiving further details on this as soon as possible."
The decision follows pressure from the Welsh Government and from opposition politicians who believe the Wales Bill leaves too much power at Westminster.
Hughes, 21, made his debut at the age of 16 during manager Steve McClaren's first spell in charge and has already played 170 games for the club.

"Will is an exciting young talent and a really important player."
Levi-Blu Cassin was found dead at an address in Nightingale Avenue, Castle Bromwich, on February 20 last year.
Danielle Cassin, 26, and Mark Piper, 31, will appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Friday, West Midlands Police said.
Both are also charged with neglect and causing or allowing the death of a child.
Police said a post-mortem found Levi-Blu had died as a result of "substantial abdominal injuries".
The Saints took the lead in the 30th minute when Gabbiadini converted from Ryan Bertrand's cross.
The Italian scored again seconds before the break with a brilliant turn and finish inside the penalty area.
Jason Denayer's own goal and Shane Long's simple finish late on gave the visitors a fully-deserved, comprehensive win.
Sunderland came into the game on the back of a stunning 4-0 win at Crystal Palace, but remain bottom of the table after managing just one shot on target, a tame 30-yard strike from Didier Ndong.
The win for Claude Puel's side is just their second in the Premier League since Christmas and their first points on the road in 2017.
Gabbiadini is a name famous on Wearside with Marco Gabbiadini scoring 87 goals in 183 games between 1987 and 1992.
But it was Manolo - no relation to the former Sunderland man - who impressed in Southampton's fine victory.
The striker signed for £14m from Napoli in January and now has three goals for the club, following his debut goal against West Ham last week.
His first strike could be viewed as lucky with the ball coming off Sunderland centre-back Lamine Kone's head before deflecting into the net off Gabbiadini's forearm.
There was no doubt about the second however, which came at the end of an excellent team move.
The 25-year-old turned brilliantly in the area before an excellent right-footed finish beat Vito Mannone.
Sunderland were buoyed by their win last week but now must feel like they are back to square one.
David Moyes' side started the game bottom but would have gone 16th with a victory after relegation rivals Crystal Palace and Hull City both lost.
The Black Cats started relatively brightly in the game but had no answer when Southampton got into their stride.
Substitute Fabio Borini headed Sunderland's best chance wide late on but the hosts failed to provide any service to top scorer Jermain Defoe, who did not have a shot in the 90 minutes.
"This is a game gone and the games are running out. We have to win some if we have a hope of staying up, simple as that," Moyes said afterwards.
On Thursday, Saints boss Puel said the team were "angry" at recent results after six league defeats from seven matches.
The Frenchman's side responded however with a fine confidence-boosting performance with the EFL Cup final against Manchester United just two weeks away.
Long and Gabbiadini both missed good chances with the score at 2-0 before the late goals rounded off the win.
Gabbiadini starred with two goals but Oriol Romeu was also excellent in midfield.
The former Chelsea and Barcelona man had more touches (91) and completed more passes (72) than any other player and also made six interceptions and won seven aerial duels.

Sunderland manager David Moyes: "We didn't play well, not as well as last week. We made some defensive mistakes.
"We had a great chance to maybe move out of the bottom three had the games gone for us, but unfortunately it didn't fall for us. Southampton themselves had fragile confidence, but they got a goal off their centre-forward's arm.
"We played OK without creating too many clear-cut opportunities, and the more attacking changes we made the worse we became."

Southampton manager Claude Puel: "Today, first of all, was about the clean sheet. We showed a very good spirit and attitude in a difficult game. A good team performance showing plenty of confidence and quality.
"Manolo Gabbiadini is a technical player of quality who can finish well. It's great for us, and as a team it's now important to continue this work."
Sunderland are heading to New York for some winter training next week as they are without a game because of the FA Cup's return.
They next play in the Premier League on 25 February against Everton (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Southampton's next game is the EFL Cup final on 26 February (kick-off 16:30) and do not play again in the league until Watford on 4 March.

The company, which reported strong quarterly sales of its other businesses, said it wanted to concentrate on shoes and clothing.
The German firm launched a review of its golf unit last August.
The popularity of golf has fallen sharply in the US since 2000, the year Tiger Woods was at his peak. It accounts for half of the global market.
Brands Adidas hopes to sell are the TaylorMade, Adams and Ashworth brands, which represent about 60% of its golf unit.
Adidas has owned TaylorMade since 1997, adding Ashworth in 2008 and Adams four years later to make it the world's biggest golf supplier.
In 2015, golf unit sales fell by 13% to €902m ($1.04bn)- about 5.3% of group sales.
Analysts at UBS said the sale should "remove the earnings volatility of an equipment business with higher fixed costs and lower sales visibility than traditional sportswear".
That aside, the company announced a 31% rise in quarterly sales of its core brand in North America, thanks to a rise in marketing, including a series of partnerships with high-profile people including Kanye West.
His name's been trending on Twitter as people mocked his outfit on Match of the Day.
The former Fulham midfielder appeared alongside Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer for Arsenal v Hull in the FA Cup.
Hair tied back and wearing a black shirt, which was half unbuttoned, he was likened to Peter Stringfellow and Harry Styles in 20 years.

About 10 tonnes of the animal swill spilled onto the A354 near Winterborne Whitechurch, between Dorchester and Blandford, at about 00:30 BST, Dorset Police said.
Specialist equipment was used to clear the "greasy" non-hazardous waste from the road, the force added.
The road was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
The Press Association found the details via a freedom of information request.
Eleven Scottish councils responded and listed the animals they had granted licences for in their area.
Dangerous wild animals (DWA) licences allow people to keep undomesticated animals as pets, subject to safety measures and a small fee.
The Scottish councils which responded, and the animals involved, were:
The Scottish SPCA said it was important anyone keeping such an animal knew how to keep them and could afford to do so.
Ch Supt Mike Flynn said: "There is a licensing regime in place which is run by the local authority for species listed under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act.
"The local authority would usually involve a vet who has specialist knowledge of the particular species requiring the licence.
"As with any animal being kept as a pet, owners should have the knowledge and resources to ensure the animal's welfare."
The city's Museum of Science and Industry is playing host to a two-day Mini Maker Faire.
Amateur hardware hackers, makers and other tinkerers will show off their creations at the event.
Also on show will be a chandelier made of lost earrings, a musical milk float and a home-made volcano.
The first three UK Maker Faire events were staged in Newcastle but this year the event has moved to Manchester.
The Faire brings gives together people who have a passionate interest in turning out their own gadgets or have used electronics to turn everyday, or discarded, objects into something more usable.
"Maker Faires celebrate the human spirit of inquisitiveness, creativity and ingenuity and aim to inspire others to try and make their own creations," said organiser John Beckerson.
While most Faires are testament to the diverse interests of the exhibitors, a mini-theme has emerged at the Manchester Maker Faire as several of those attending are showing off giant-size versions of well-known family games.
Visitors to the Faire will be able to see a dress shop mannequin that has been converted into a full-size version of Operation.

Moores, 19, has joined because Jos Buttler is on England one-day duty while Alex Davies has a knee injury.
The left-handed batsman has played for England at under-19 level and is the son of Peter Moores, the national team's former head coach.
"Tom is highly regarded and is an exciting young talent," said Lancashire cricket director and head coach Ashley Giles.
"He has a good pedigree and we are looking forward to him joining up with the squad."
Moores is set to make his Lancashire debut in Friday's T20 Blast fixture against Worcestershire.
He runs the Hook and Cleaver butcher in Ealing, west London.
"At the time trade really did go through the roof, especially with mince products, burgers, sausages, things like that," he says.
Consumers had lost confidence in some supermarket products and favoured local butchers like Mr Dzido who could tell them more about the meat they were buying.
The scandal emerged in mid-January, when Irish food inspectors announced they had found traces of horsemeat in some frozen beefburgers stocked by UK supermarkets including Tesco, Iceland and Lidl.
Over the next few months a number of stores and suppliers across the UK and Europe had to remove products labelled as beef after test results revealed they contained varying quantities of horsemeat - in some cases up to 100%.
As a result sales of frozen burgers and frozen ready meals plunged. The most dramatic decline came in March and April of last year when frozen burger sales tumbled 41% compared with the same months in 2012, according to figures from industry analysts Kantar Worldpanel.
Frozen ready meals also saw a sharp drop in sales, falling 11% in March and 15% in April.
But since that panic the frozen burger has made a comeback. For the 12 weeks to 8 December 2013, burger sales were down just 1% compared with the same period in 2012.
The reason? Heavy discounting. Food retailers, including Iceland, discounted burgers after the crisis and shoppers found that hard to resist, particularly at a time when many households were struggling with tighter budgets.
"If something is out there at half price you get huge spikes in sales, people immediately react to that," says Ed Garner, communications director at Kantar Worldpanel.
However, frozen ready meals have not seen the same kind of recovery. The most recent figures show sales still down 6% compared with a year ago.
Analysts say that is probably because shoppers were uncertain about the quality of frozen ready meals, even before the horsemeat scandal broke.
"People were already predisposed to suspect frozen foods were somehow inferior," says Mr Garner.
"It kind of confirmed matters when people saw that a frozen ready meal turned out to be all horse and no meat."
As well as affecting sales, the horsemeat scandal has changed the way some customers shop for food.
An Ipsos Mori poll run in partnership with the Grocer magazine shows that almost a third of respondents said the incident had "permanently impacted" the way they chose and bought food.
And a survey carried out on behalf consumer organisation Which? in late November found that 49% of respondents said the horsemeat incident had changed their shopping habits, with 25% saying they bought less processed meat and 17% saying they bought more products from butchers and farmers' markets.
And it seems that value for money is still the main concern for many shoppers.
"Twenty-six per cent of the British public are buying cheaper food than they were a year ago, which may suggest that price is still a central factor in food choices," says Stephen Yap, head of Ipsos MarketQuest.
According to the Ipsos Mori poll, Tesco and Iceland suffered more damage to their reputations from the incident than other supermarket chains.
Ipsos Mori asked if people felt more or less favourable towards the six major UK supermarkets after the incident. In response, 20% of those polled said they felt less favourably about Tesco, and 14% felt less favourably about Iceland.
But both chains would probably point to the fact that almost 70% of respondents "felt the same" about them.
A Tesco spokesperson told the BBC: "The horsemeat issue impacted customer confidence across the retail industry. In response to the issue, we promised our customers we would make significant changes, and we have done so.
"We take nothing for granted and will continue to work hard to ensure customers know our food is of the highest quality."
Iceland did not respond to a BBC enquiry.
Retailers have been working hard to regain trust, according to industry body the British Retail Consortium: "Over the last 12 months suppliers have been reassessed, supply chains are less complex including an increase in sourcing from the UK, there has been an increase in the unannounced audits of suppliers, and increased testing of ingredients."
Back in Ealing, Mr Dzido is proud of the fact that he travels to Smithfield meat market and personally selects the meat sold in his shop.
"We offer a bit more than supermarkets do. We are in more direct contact with the farmers, there's less people in the chain before we process any of the meat.
"I know every ounce of meat hanging in my fridge, what it is and where it's come from."
Mohammad Uddin, from Ilford, was charged with engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts and appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
He was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on 28 August.
Mr Uddin was charged under section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006.
Naomi Long of the Alliance Party was reacting to Mr Johnson's appointment as the UK's foreign secretary.
She pointed to his 2002 use of the word "piccaninnies" and his past remarks on President Obama's part-Kenyan ancestry.
Mrs Long said she was fine with him appearing on comedy shows, but not on the "world stage".
Mr Johnson was the most prominent politician in the Leave campaign, which lobbied for a British exit from the EU in last month's referendum.
His appointment as foreign secretary - the UK's top diplomat - has been met with some surprise by the international press, with newspapers citing his history of faux pas.
Mr Johnson said he was "very humbled" by his new role.
He said there was a "massive opportunity in this country to make a great success of our new relationship with Europe and with the world".
However, Mrs Long said: "I don't doubt that Boris Johnson is an intelligent man.
"But he has cultivated the persona of a clown in order to avoid responsibility for some of the quite offensive things he has said over the years."
She cited a previous article Mr Johnson wrote about Mr Obama that referred to the "part-Kenyan president's ancestral dislike of the British empire".
Mrs Long also mentioned a 2002 article in which Mr Johnson referred to the Queen being greeted in Commonwealth countries by "flag-waving piccaninnies".
Writing about the then prime minister Tony Blair's visit to Africa in the same article, Mr Johnson said that "tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird".
He later apologised for the remarks.
But Mrs Long told the BBC's Stephen Nolan Show: "This is not a man that I would wish to be representing me on the international stage.
"Ultimately, we all know that people will buy tickets to the circus but we don't want our politics to be a circus.
"We don't want clowns to be running important departments.
"Boris may well be diverting and entertaining and I don't mind if he's on Have I Got News For You?.
"That's all well and good, but I'm not sure that it's necessarily good - certainly given the international reaction to his appointment - for our standing."
Mrs Long, a former MP for East Belfast, now represents the constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
A 29-year-old man was arrested at an address in the city by officers from West Midlands Police's counter-terrorism unit, the force said.
A 28-year-old woman taken into custody earlier has been bailed.
Officers are continuing to search three addresses in the Foleshill and Radford areas. Police say the arrests were intelligence-led.
The latest arrest was pre-planned and there is no risk to public safety, said the force.

They had been training on Tullan Strand on Saturday morning and had entered the water to cool down after their session.
Surfers, one of whom was a crew member with Bundoran RNLI, entered the water and helped the footballers to safety.
Both the inshore lifeboat from Bundoran and a Sligo based rescue helicopter attended the scene.
The lifeboat crew gave first aid to eight of the players, some whom were bruised and had swallowed sea water, before ambulances arrived.
A number of the casualties were taken to Sligo University Hospital as a precaution.
Following the incident, Bundoran RNLI helm James Cassidy warned potential visitors to the area about the potential dangers:
"We would remind locals and visitors alike that Tullan Strand and particularly the area along the cliffs is notorious for rip currents and under currents and is really not suitable for swimming.
"Rips are strong currents running out to sea which can catch even the most experienced beachgoers out.
"Should you get caught in a rip, the best advice is to stay calm and don't panic. If you can stand, wade. Don't try to swim.
"If you have an inflatable or board, keep hold of it to help you float. Raise your hand and shout for help loudly. Don't swim directly against the rip or you will get exhausted.
"Swim parallel to the beach until free of the rip, then make for shore," he added.
Secretly-filmed footage passed to Newsnight shows examples of patient neglect and ignored safety procedures.
Incidents include one healthcare worker cleaning a feeding and medicine tube with a pen nib and one patient marked as nil-by-mouth being given drinks.
NHS England told the BBC it is working to improve specialist rehabilitation for patients with such complex needs.
However, one leading expert told Newsnight that some patients were not recovering as fully as they might because of these problems with their care.
Professor Michael Barnes, a specialist in neurological rehabilitation medicine who chairs the UK Acquired Brain Injury Forum, said: "There are some very good rehabilitation centres in this country, but equally I'm afraid there are units in this country that really don't provide proper co-ordinated rehabilitation at all.
"And yet that's what they are called. And that, I think, is a sad reflection and something needs to be done about that."
Every 90 seconds someone in the UK suffers a brain injury. There can be many causes, such as a bleed to the brain, a fall, an assault - often it is the result of a road accident.
Following an injury of this sort, the brain has to rebuild pathways to allow the person who has suffered the injury to re-learn the things they once took for granted, and that is why specialist rehabilitation and good care are so vital.
Grant Clarke had a massive brain haemorrhage last year, at the age of 43. He was left severely disabled, but during 12 weeks in hospital he made steady progress.
His family believed with the right help he would be home within four months.
But they say his recovery was undermined by poor care and a lack of appropriate rehabilitation when he was transferred to the West Kent Neuro-rehabilitation Unit in Sevenoaks.
"He didn't have his teeth brushed," Mr Clarke's partner Binny told us.
"He didn't have his armpits washed. He was left in urine, all the time. Every time I went to see him he was wet to his armpits, and cold."
After raising her concerns on a number of occasions she decided to take the extreme action of installing a secret camera in his room. She was shocked by the footage it recorded.
Mr Clarke's injuries had left him unable to swallow, and so a tube was inserted to bring food, liquids and medication straight to his stomach.
The tube had to be cleaned with care to avoid infection, but the secret filming shows a healthcare worker cleaning the top of it with the nib of a pen.
Despite him being nil-by-mouth, another healthcare assistant was seen giving Mr Clarke drinks of water five times over two nights.
And though he can barely speak, his call bell was removed three times in 10 days.
Binny later discovered that only one of the nursing staff at the unit had training in brain injuries, even though it was described as a specialist unit.
Following a complaint made by the family the healthcare worker who gave Grant the drinks was interviewed by police, but they decided not to take action against him.
The worker gave a letter to the police in which he expressed his regret for his actions. He no longer works for the West Kent Neuro-rehabilitation Unit.
Mr Clarke's family made 26 complaints to the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust. Most were upheld - including the removal of the call bell and the use of a pen to clean the top of Mr Clarke's feeding tube.
In a statement to BBC Newsnight the Trust said: "We remain appalled by what happened."
It continues: "We subsequently created a robust action plan to address all concerns," and adds that compulsory, specialist training for all staff has now been introduced.
Mr Clarke, who is now in another rehabilitation unit that is providing him with the care and support he needs, is making progress and starting to spend time at home with his family.
But concerns of a similar nature have been raised by the family of Mark Courtney.
He had a severe asthma attack in March 2007 that left him severely brain damaged. His family say they have experienced failings in basic care ever since.
"He has been in four different placements in the last six-and-a-half-years and I have found that not any of the placements are ideal," his wife Chammelle told BBC Newsnight.
Mrs Courtney's concerns about her husband's care include unexplained cuts and bruises, medication errors and a failure to position him correctly.
She believes patients in all of the facilities where he has been treated are at serious risk of harm.
Professor Michael Barnes says that investment in brain injury rehabilitation could save the state money in the longer term.
"There is good evidence that although rehabilitation costs more money clearly than someone going home, or going to a nursing home, that money is recouped over two to three years by that person requiring less support from the state, getting back to work and earning money."
Dr John Etherington is the National Clinical Director for Rehabilitation and Recovering in the Community at NHS England.
He told BBC Newsnight: "This role bolsters a number of initiatives already underway which will start to enhance provision. These include the establishment of a Clinical Reference Group to examine the commissioning of specialised rehabilitation services, the development of regional trauma networks to review services - which has already led to service improvements - and a review of funding for long term conditions which is underway through the 'Year of Care' initiative that will enable a more flexible and patient centred distribution of funding.
"We have also for the first time, put in place a national specification for specialised rehabilitation to combat variation in services and ensure more equitable access across the country. This work is vital to improving outcomes for patients."

Under the terms of the deal, Zimbabwe will be able to sell some stockpiles.
It may be able to resume full exports after a review of conditions at the Marange diamond fields in September.
The Kimberley Process suspended the diamond exports in November in response to allegations of atrocities committed by security forces at Marange.
There have been weeks of deadlock over the negotiations and the deal in Russia came only after a Zimbabwean human rights activist was released on bail earlier this week.
Farai Maguwu is accused of providing false information about the diamond trade and was arrested after meeting a representative of the Kimberley Process on 3 June.
His continued detention scuppered attempts to reach a deal on Zimbabwe's diamond exports at a Kimberly Process meeting in Israel last month.
Campaigners said a crisis had been averted by a last-minute deal.
"The ball is now in Zimbabwe's court to make good on its promises and act to end one of the most egregious cases of diamond-related violence for many years," Annie Dunnebacke of Global Witness said in a statement.
"We fervently hope that the governments in the Kimberley Process will, for their part, hold Zimbabwe to its commitments in order to begin to restore the battered integrity of the scheme."
Zimbabwe Mines Minister Obert Mpofu said the country was "ready and willing" to work with the Kimberly Process.
"We know the value of co-operating with the organisation," the Wall Street Journal quotes him as saying.
The army took over the Marange mines in 2008 and has since been accused of committing widespread abuses there - killing some 200 miners and forcing others to work in the mines.
Campaigners say the diamond money is being used to fund President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.
Zimbabwe's army has denied the allegations.
In February, President Mugabe threatened to leave the Kimberley Process after Zimbabwe was given until June to prove that its mines were properly run.
The Kimberley Process was set up in 2002 after the diamond trade was accused of fuelling several conflicts in Africa.
The diamonds from the Marange field could see the country become one of the world's top six exporters and generate $1.7bn (£1.1bn) a year.
Zimbabwe has accused the West of trying to hold back its economic development.
She says: "One board member threw down his pen and said 'this isn't going to work, women aren't interested in sex'.
"Obviously it said a lot more about his sex life than it did about my idea."
This exchange took place back in 1981 when Ann Summers, part of a wider adult entertainment business called Gold Group International (GGI), was just a four-store chain.
GGI is still to this day owned by Ms Gold's father, David Gold, who is also the co-owner of West Ham Football Club.
Ms Gold had joined the family firm in 1979, aged 19.
After doing a number of basic admin jobs, her big idea was to try to transform the Ann Summers brand by setting up a new Tupperware-style party service solely for women, and introducing lingerie that was actually comfortable and flattering to wear.
Under Ms Gold's plan, a female Ann Summers representative would visit a woman's house with a range of lingerie and sex toys for the woman and her friends to see and potentially buy.
Ms Gold's central thinking was that it would open up a whole new market of women who would have been too embarrassed or unwilling to walk into an Ann Summers store.
Despite the reluctance of some members of the GGI board, Ms Gold was given the go-ahead, autonomy and funding.
The parties were an immediate hit, and within a year Ms Gold has signed up 500 party organisers.
With the party side of the business then continuing to see its turnover grow at more than 20% every year, Ms Gold started to invest the money into building a network of new stores.
Again aimed at women, the shops were to be a world removed from the grubby, backstreet sex shops of old. Instead they were to be clean, bright, and located on High Streets. The aim was for them to be socially acceptable.
Today Ann Summers has 140 stores across the UK and Republic of Ireland, and an annual turnover of £140m ($215m). Meanwhile Ms Gold, 55, who was formally made Ann Summers' chief executive in 1987, has a personal wealth estimated at more than £500m.
She says: "When I joined Ann Summers its customer profile was only 10% women, today it remains 100% women going to our parties, and 80% women to our stores.
"I always say that I have taken the company from the raincoat brigade to a female institution."
With no business qualifications, or prior experience of running a company, Ms Gold says she had to rely on her "gut instinct" when it came to making decisions in her early years.
She adds: "When you are younger you just do things so differently. You'd think, 'I don't know this, I don't know that', but you just get on with it, and I worked really hard.
"We were growing really fast, and of course we had lots of teething problems.
"One mistake was to throw people at problems because we didn't have the money for a strategy, and I wasn't savvy on how to put a proper business plan together.
"Instead it was all my own gut feeling, and having to rely on feedback from my customers, which at the time I thought was a disadvantage, but any business leader will now tell you is an advantage."
Key problems along the way at Ann Summers have included being unable to source sufficient supplies to keep up with demand, which ultimately forced the company to source all its lingerie from China instead of the UK, says Ms Gold.
"The sex toys have always come from Hong Kong, but I used to be proud to say our lingerie was made in Britain," she says.
"Unfortunately we ultimately had to switch to China because the suppliers in this country just could not cope. [By contrast] in China they are so set up for huge orders."
The business also had to put up with copycat companies along the way, but Ms Gold says she was able to see them off by focusing on offering both better quality products and customer service.
And she has successfully fought against regulatory constraints against the business, such as winning a 2003 court case against the UK government to allow Ann Summers to advertise for staff at job centres.
Although Ann Summers' bricks and mortar stores were affected by the last recession, with a few closing, sales have since recovered. At the same time, online turnover has continued to rise strongly.
Ms Gold says the parties part of the business also remains popular, especially for women over 35, while those aged 18 to 25 are the primary customers of the physical stores.
While still a very much hands-on chief executive, in her spare time Ms Gold likes to mentor other female entrepreneurs, and lobby the government to help improve gender equality in business.
But how does she respond to any suggestion that she is only successful because of her father giving her the top job at Ann Summers?
"That amuses me," says Ms Gold. "When I'm asked that question I say that if it wasn't for my success at Ann Summers he wouldn't have been able to buy two football clubs - Birmingham City and [then] West Ham.
"I'm glad in my own indirect way to have played a big part in that... but I built up Ann Summers on my own."
The 32-year-old defender, who joined from local rivals Nottingham Forest in 2012, has a year to run on the three-year deal he signed in 2014.
Morgan told BBC East Midlands Today: "I love it here and would love to stay.
"But now I am focusing on what we can achieve as a group and trying to get over that finishing line."
Morgan added: "First and foremost I need to concentrate on the pitch and see what happens after that."
The Foxes have 53 points and are two points clear at the top of the table with 12 games remaining.
North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham have 51 points, with Manchester City in fourth place on 47 points.
Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan would be executed together because they had committed their crime at the same time, Attorney General MS Prasetyo said.
Sukumaran's appeal for clemency was rejected last week. Chan is still waiting for a response to his appeal.
Indonesia's use of the death penalty in drugs cases has been widely criticised.
Australia opposes the death penalty and its government has said it will continue to campaign for its citizens who are facing execution abroad.
Rights group Amnesty International has urged the Indonesian government to halt executions immediately, and eventually abolish the death penalty.
Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws. The country resumed executions in 2013 after an unofficial four-year moratorium.
No executions were carried out in 2014. However, President Joko Widodo has said he will not grant clemency to anyone on death row who was convicted of drugs offences.
Six people are due to be executed this Sunday, Mr Prasetyo said. Five of the six have foreign citizenship. The executions will mark the first use of the death penalty since Mr Widodo took office in October.
No date has been set for the execution of Sukumaran and Chan, and Chan has yet to receive a response from the Indonesian president to his appeal for a pardon.
Mr Prasetyo told reporters that the men would have their sentences carried out simultaneously.
"When a crime is committed by more than one person, the execution must be conducted at the same time," he said. "So Myuran will wait for his turn."
Sukumaran, from Sydney, was one of nine Australians arrested in Bali in April 2005 with more than 8.3kg (18lb) of heroin.
He and Chan were named as ring leaders of the group and sentenced to death in 2006.
The eight men and one woman of the Bali Nine were aged between 18 and 28 at the time of their arrests.
Following various appeals, the other seven are now serving either life or 20 years in prison.
Executions are carried out by firing squad in Indonesia.
The motorway was closed northbound for more than eight hours between junction 9 at Bicester and junction 10 at Cherwell Valley services, following the crash at about 07:45 GMT.
Thames Valley Police said one man died at the scene and another person was "critically ill".
Six people were seriously injured and more than 50 have minor injuries.
Police said the person who was critically injured had been taken to hospital, along with those who had been seriously injured and six people with minor injuries.
A further 49 people were assessed at the scene.
The family of the man who died have been informed, police said.
Ch Insp Henry Parsons, of Thames Valley Police, said: "The cause of this collision is under investigation, however, we believe that fog played a major part.
"This has been an extraordinarily large collision, we have not had a collision on this scale for many years in Thames Valley and one man has sadly lost his life."
He added it was a "serious blessing" more people were not killed in the pile up.
The road was closured during investigations and reopened at about 16:30.
Four miles of queues had been reported northbound, with delays of about an hour, according to BBC Travel.
A couple of southbound lanes were also shut along the same stretch.
The Highways Agency also warned of "significant delays" on the diversion routes.
On Twitter, Zara Smith, 31, who was stuck at junction 9, said a number of lorries had jackknifed in "thick fog".
"It was very dense, you could probably see about two cars in front of you when we stopped and that was it," she said.
BBC Berkshire reporter Tim Dellor, who was on his way to Derby for the football match against Reading, said he was held up in the diversion along the B430.
"Part of the problem is all the diverted traffic is congested down these narrow B roads," he said.
"The M1 is closed as well, and the trains have problems with a landslip so it's very difficult for any football fans, or anybody else for that matter, travelling north."
Drivers also faced more delays as two Boeing 747 fuselages were transported along the M4 and M5 from Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire to a scrapyard in Herefordshire.
More than a dozen vehicles are still standing where they crashed - front wings missing or bumpers crumpled, pressed together at odd angles.
Towards the back of the crush, which reaches right back to the slip road onto the motorway at junction 9, there's a white lorry with a large gash in its side.
The brown boxes it was delivering are clearly visible inside. Next to it sits a private ambulance. In front, a black mini with most of its front gone.
Police investigators have marked the position of each car on the tarmac in yellow spray paint.
Where many other cars have already been moved, there's a thick layer of debris scattered right across all three lanes. | Hosts Ireland won a nail-biting Women's Rugby World Cup Pool C opener against battling Australia in Dublin.

On 27 April 2014, Rodgers was being carried along on a crest of euphoria that looked certain to make him the first Liverpool manager to win the title in 24 years.
A 2-0 loss to Chelsea, including the infamous slip from Steven Gerrard, started a chain of events that ended with his dismissal an hour after the 1-1 Merseyside derby draw with Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
So how did it go so wrong for a manager who seemed to have a glittering Anfield future in front of him?
At the heart of Rodgers's demise at Liverpool was a failed, flawed recruitment policy that saw nearly £292m spent since the 42-year-old's arrival in the summer of 2012 - but most of the world-class talent he possessed walk out of the door.
And to add to the dysfunctional decline Rodgers presided over was Liverpool's infamous "transfer committee", the group that led the club's buying strategy and was responsible for far more failures than successes.
The committee consists (or we should now say consisted) of Rodgers, scouts Dave Fallows and Barry Hunter, the man in charge of analysis Michael Edwards, owners Fenway Sports Group's (FSG) Anfield representative Mike Gordon and chief executive Ian Ayre.
They sought value, often in young and unproven players who could be considered versatile - although in many cases jacks of all trades who were masters of none.
Twenty-three players were signed on permanent deals during Rodgers's reign. How many were unqualified successes?

Certainly Brazilian Philippe Coutinho at £8.5m from Inter Milan and Daniel Sturridge at £12m from Chelsea until he was struck down by a run of injuries that have wrecked his last 12 months.
After that you are struggling and some have been out-and-out flops, particularly the £20m spent on defender Dejan Lovren and the same sum spent on Lazar Markovic, who is out on loan at Fenerbahce after one unfulfilling season.
By targeting potential rather than the finished product, Liverpool have tried to navigate a route around a transfer system that can simply not be circumnavigated.
It also daubed a grey area on Liverpool's policy. Who was ultimately responsible? Rodgers said he had the final word but in many senses he was beholden to member of this committee whose track record suggests they were simply not up to the task of finding players for a club of Liverpool's ambition.
It certainly gives Rodgers a get-out when he can point, with justification, to the fact that Liverpool's struggles were not all down to him.
The other edge of this sword was that during this time of financial waste on an industrial scale, Liverpool saw the world-class Luis Suarez leave for Barcelona in a £75m deal, Raheem Sterling off to Manchester City for £49m and Gerrard quit Anfield to move to LA Galaxy. Transfer double jeopardy.
When Liverpool received the cheque for Suarez after the Uruguayan shamed himself at the 2014 World Cup by biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini, it presented an opportunity for Rodgers to fulfil a prophecy he made when Spurs sold Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for £85m a year earlier.
He said: "Look at Tottenham - when you spend over £100m you'd expect to be challenging for the league."
Rodgers did. And Liverpool didn't.
Sadly for Rodgers, when Suarez took his stardust out of Anfield it was followed by the cash from his departure - most of it squandered.
Liverpool targeted a player coming through the Nou Camp's revolving door, Alexis Sanchez as his replacement. He would have been a near-perfect replacement (if not quite as good) for Suarez but the lure of Arsenal in London proved too much.
This seemed to plunge Liverpool into transfer inertia. With no "Plan B" and only the somewhat off-the-wall £4m deal for Southampton's Rickie Lambert in the bag, they were left with three choices on transfer deadline day.
They could do nothing (which ultimately should have been the preferred option), sign Samuel Eto'o, whose legs could no longer stand the pace, or Mario Balotelli from AC Milan.
Rodgers had stated "categorically" that Balotelli would not be coming - so imagine the surprise and embarrassment when the Italian last resort arrived in a £16m deal with predictably abysmal results.
So not only was there no replacement that came anywhere close to giving Liverpool the flash of genius Suarez provided, the rest of the money was largely wasted on Lovren, Markovic, £12m defender Alberto Moreno, £25m Adam Lallana, as well as £10m on Emre Can, who may yet come good.
And not only did Liverpool lose a player who could grace any team in world football, they lost the money they raked in for him. This proved to be a toxic combination.
The beginning of the end for Rodgers started back on 22 March with the home defeat by Manchester United.
Liverpool went into the game on the back of a 13-game unbeaten run and back in top-four contention after Rodgers switched to a back-three system to cure a poor start to the season.
He was once again being feted as the coach of his generation, with tales of sitting up at 3am writing down his thoughts on a 3-4-3 formation that looked to have rejuvenated their campaign.
It all came crashing down that afternoon as United won 2-1 and captain Gerrard lasted only 38 seconds after coming on as a half-time substitute for Lallana.
Rodgers never quite recovered.
It was followed by a heavy 4-1 beating against Arsenal on 4 April, then 15 days later the biggest setback of all, a pathetic, lame display in losing to Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
The die was cast as Liverpool lost away to soon-to-be relegated Hull City, celebrated captain Gerrard's Anfield farewell with a comprehensive 3-1 defeat by Crystal Palace before the ultimate indignity of a 6-1 thrashing at Stoke City on the final day of the season, the first time the Reds had conceded half a dozen in the league for 52 years.
After another summer of spending, which included £29m Roberto Firmino from Hoffenheim and Christian Benteke at £32.5m from Villa, wins at Stoke and against Bournemouth rekindled mild optimism but a 3-0 home defeat by West Ham and a 3-1 loss at Manchester United probably sealed Rodgers's fate.
Like FSG's decision, the end was swift and decisive.
FSG conducted a full review into Liverpool's last season, raking over the wreckage of a Champions League campaign that failed to crawl out of the group stage or make the top four.
Rodgers was hardly going in on a position of strength after that 6-1 loss at Stoke but knees do not jerk in Boston and the manager was given another crack, complete with the £49m raked in from Manchester City for Sterling and more besides.
It will be a source of regret to main man John W Henry and chairman Tom Werner that they have dispensed with the services of a man and manager they felt was the embodiment of their ethos - but they clearly feel he can no longer deliver what they demand.
The question is - do they now wish they had sacked him in the summer?
It does a grave disservice to Rodgers to paint his reign as a complete failure - this is a relatively young manager who has time to come again and make good on the potential he showed at Liverpool.
In 2013-14, in a blaze of attacking football and against all odds, Rodgers took Liverpool to the brink of the Premier League title. He was effectively a Gerrard slip away from writing his name into Anfield's rich history.

There has been some cheap rewriting of that season, claiming Rodgers rode to glory on the back of Suarez's brilliance.
This is a nonsensical argument akin to claiming Sir Alex Ferguson was only successful because of Eric Cantona.
Rodgers had a world-class player and devised a system that allowed him to flourish. He can hardly be criticised, or be expected to apologise, for that.
He always wanted to give Liverpool's fans the attacking, passing football they wanted. He fell short - but it was not for the want of trying.
Lancashire, who were promoted from Division Two in 2015, began day four at Old Trafford needing 86 runs to win.
Jake Ball removed openers Karl Brown and Haseeb Hameed cheaply, reducing the hosts to 27-2 on the final morning.
But Alviro Petersen and Luke Procter saw Lancashire to their target before lunch, securing a win worth 22 points.
Procter, who ended 35 not out, finished the match with a six over deep mid-wicket, as Samit Patel was hit for 19 runs off what proved to be the final over of the contest.
Victory was set up by an excellent bowling performance from Kiwi seamer Neil Wagner, who took 11 wickets on his Lancashire debut.
Notts' defeat was their first of the season, having beaten last summer's Division Two champions Surrey by three wickets at Trent Bridge in their opening Championship match of 2016.
Lancashire captain Steven Croft: "After losing the toss on a pretty good wicket, that was one of the best bowling displays I've been involved with at this club.
"It was a win against a really good side with a lot of international cricketers in it and we didn't scrape over the line as we usually do."
Lancashire director of cricket Ashley Giles: "It was a really disciplined performance with the ball. That's got to be the benchmark, whether Jimmy Anderson's playing or not.
"Neil Wagner has settled in straight away. He'd do anything for the team and clearly would run through a brick wall when he's got the ball in his hand."
Notts director of cricket Mick Newell: "I'm a Liverpool fan. If we had been able to pull it off today, it would have been like (the 2005 Champions League win in) Istanbul or something like that.
"It's been a disappointing game. We've played some poor cricket. We haven't batted well enough in either innings and that's been our undoing.
"Jake Ball's been terrific. He's picked up six wickets in the game. He's got 12 wickets already. That's a fantastic start to the season and he's setting a great example.
"Alex Hales will be available for the next game against Yorkshire and he will play. That's a given."
A three-year ban is in place on killing fish outside estuary limits with strict controls on numbers in inland waters.
The Annan Common Good Fund holds the rights to traditional fishing methods such as haaf, poke and stake netting in much of the area.
It has worked up a £50,000 compensation bid which Marine Scotland said it hoped to have resolved by next month.
The annual cost of applying the regulations in the area has been estimated at nearly £17,000 due to lost fish licence income.
A report to go to the common good fund sub committee outlined progress in efforts to claim the funds.
A letter from Marine Scotland confirmed it would consider the bid but it could only be done after compensation for coastal netting had been agreed.
It added that it understood the issue was one they were "anxious to resolve" and hoped to respond by the end of February.
It also flushes its toilets with rainwater, has a robot security guard that will challenge you if you wander around at night and a whole range of clever technology to make the building sustainable.
The developers behind it, Dutch firm OVG, liked it so much that they moved in when it was finished.
So is the office that has already been dubbed the world's greenest, really as smart as it seems?
The building, whose main tenant is consultancy firm Deloitte and was designed by London-based architects PLP Architecture, boasts "smart" ceilings embedded with 28,000 sensors, which measure temperature, light, motion and humidity. The lighting, designed by Phillips, is also smart - each one of the LED panels is ultra-efficient and requires only a tiny amount of electricity.
Workers can control the temperature, lighting and blinds via a series of apps on their smartphones and work is ongoing to unify them.
Read more about how technology is changing our workplaces:
Users select the temperature they want from a sliding gauge on their phone and it will in turn adjust the valves in the pipes above their head. Each valve controls the temperature of around four desks so they do have to hope that the colleague sitting next to them is also happy with the change.
Facilities manager Wybe Van der Mey tells me, with some degree of pride, that in the first year of opening he only received a handful of complaints about the heating.
"In a traditional building that would be our headache number one," he said.
Workers can also use one of the apps to book meeting rooms, open lockers and check in to their desks.
When The Edge first opened its doors in September 2014, around 20% of the workers checked themselves in via the app. That quickly fell to 10% and is now at around 1%, according to Mr Van der Mey.
"We hoped everyone would check in to their desks daily but they haven't done that."
Each floor of Deloitte's office is laid out exactly the same, making it the ultimate hot-desking environment. It should in theory mean the firm can allocate desks - if people used the app.
"The dream of a facilities manager is to tell people where to go based on available space. Technically it is possible, but behaviourally it is not. People want to go to the same place every day and sit with their peers."
Neither is the app-based system to book meeting rooms running entirely smoothly. Many don't use it, leading to double-booked rooms, while others book rooms that they never intend to use because it gains them an extra parking space.
It is unclear how many use the stickers with QR codes which adorn all the meeting rooms, allowing users to connect to everything inside the room via their smartphone - including powering up the 4K screens to show their own presentations, controlling the lighting and heating and even lowering the blinds to stop their audience from daydreaming out of the window.
There is no doubting The Edge's green credentials however.
In December 2014 it received the highest ever BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) which has become the de facto test for sustainability in buildings.
It got an outstanding rating with the highest-ever score of 98.36%, making it a star pupil in a business world that is increasingly being pushed to go green.
It means that Mr Van der Mey has become used to a new job role - as tour guide. He has hosted architects, developers and news outlets and rejected a request from the Amsterdam tourist board to show a group of Chinese tourists around the building.
They come to see a range of features, including an innovative approach to solar power.
When it became clear to developer OVG that covering the roof with solar panels was not going to be enough to provide 100% of The Edge's electricity it turned to its neighbours - the VU University of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences - to install a further 4,100 sq m (44,100 sq ft) of solar panels on their rooftops in return for the free use of any spare electricity.
The slanted atrium also has a job to do - draining off rainwater to be collected in troughs and reused for cleaning and flushing the toilets.
The building is doing its bit to encourage its workers to go greener. There is a huge space for bikes and a whole wall dedicated to electric car charging points in the underground car park.
The building is heated and cooled via an aquifer thermal energy storage system. Hot water is stored in wells in the ground during summer to help heat the building in winter and cold water in the same way in the winter to cool the building in the warmer months.
There are no radiators in the building - all the heating is provided by cables that run through the ceilings. One carries data and the other water to provide an ambient temperature across the whole structure.
Both Deloitte, the building's main tenant, and OVG, the developer, are open about the fact that The Edge is an experimental project and that not everything has worked.
One of its biggest challenges is making sense of the mountains of data generated by the sensors.
Maintaining the smartness of The Edge has, Mr Van der Mey jokes, turned his hair grey.
"It is challenging to cope with all the data and we are still learning how to read it," he told the BBC.
For the moment the answer lies in data dashboards, which both the facilities teams and workers can access.
It displays a variety of real-time data points - including the number of workers in the building at any given time, how many visitors, energy consumption and temperature.
It also has some more fun data sets, such as a pie-chart showing how much coffee, and what type, is being consumed in the building at any given time.
It became apparent from the data that lattes and cappuccinos were by far the most popular choice, meaning milk was frequently running out so Deloitte asked the manufacturer to make a new bespoke model with a larger compartment for milk - a real world example of how access to data can improve working lives.
Every coffee machine is also connected to the internet, meaning facilities staff can see which ones are getting low and refill them before someone finds it empty.
The towel rails in the bathrooms are similarly connected.
The hours that cleaners work have also been changed as a result of the data and Mr Van der Mey is keen for this to happen more often.
"We want to predict how things will happen in the building - that will be the really smart thing," he said.

Mr Cook said he did not agree there was a "moral equivalence" between white supremacists and "those who oppose them".
Mr Trump has disbanded two business councils after top bosses resigned.
Mr Cook said Apple will also make donations to human rights charities.
In an email to staff obtained by BuzzFeed News Mr Cook said: "I disagree with the president and others who believe that there is a moral equivalence between white supremacists and Nazis, and those who oppose them by standing up for human rights.
"Equating the two runs counter to our ideals as Americans."
He added that "in the wake of the tragic and repulsive events in Charlottesville, we are stepping up to help organisations who work to rid our country of hate".
Apple will donate $1m to both the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. It will also match two-for-one any staff donations to these and several other human rights groups until 30 September, Mr Cook said.
On Wednesday, Mr Trump said he was scrapping two business councils after more bosses quit over his handling of the violent clashes in Virginia.
Business leaders left the White House manufacturing council after the backlash against how he reacted to the far-right rally last weekend.
The clashes culminated in a woman's death and nearly 20 wounded when a car ploughed into a crowd of anti-fascist protesters.
Mr Trump's reaction has sparked outrage and generated global headlines.
His announcement on Twitter came as the heads of 3M, Campbell Soup, Johnson & Johnson and United Technologies announced their resignations on Wednesday.
Mr Trump said: "Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both."
Before Mr Trump's announcement, the Strategy and Policy Forum announced it was a joint decision to disband the council.
Businesses have been under pressure to distance themselves from Mr Trump over his handling of the clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.
On Monday, Mr Trump belatedly condemned the white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups that rallied in a small Virginia town on Sunday.
But in a rancorous news conference on Tuesday he backtracked and again blamed left-wing counter-protesters for the violence too.
JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon, a member of the Strategy and Policy Forum, released a separate statement on Wednesday saying he strongly disagreed with Mr Trump's recent statements, adding that "fanning divisiveness is not the answer".
"Constructive economic and regulatory policies are not enough and will not matter if we do not address the divisions in our country. It is a leader's role, in business or government, to bring people together, not tear them apart," he said.
Denise Morrison of Campbell Soup said she could not continue to participate in the advisory panel after Mr Trump's comments. Activists had called on Campbell Soup, among other firms, to take action.
Australian Jones, 55, who has signed a four-year deal to be England's first foreign coach, wants to name a skipper to take the team to the 2019 World Cup.
"It's a role Joe would grow into and get better at all the time until he's a natural," Young said. "He's somebody the players would get right behind.
"I think he would be a great choice and would make a great England captain."
England endured a miserable World Cup campaign, becoming the first host nation to go out of the competition at the group stage, and coach Stuart Lancaster left his job after nearly four years in charge.
Jones criticised skipper Chris Robshaw during the competition but is planning talks with the 29-year-old, who was made captain by Lancaster in 2012.
Launchbury, 24, has won 28 caps since making his England debut in 2012 and was part of the squad that won two and lost two of their four World Cup group games.
Former Cardiff and Wales captain Young was coaching Cardiff Blues when Warren Gatland installed Sam Warburton as Wales captain in 2011 and he sees similarities between the Welsh talisman and Launchbury.
"Both are very sensible, don't go chasing the limelight, don't do things that will draw attention: Joe leads from the front, and doesn't speak for the sake of it," said Wasps director of rugby Young.
"One of the greatest England captains, Martin Johnson, didn't speak for the sake of it. When he spoke people listened. I think Joe would be very similar."
Audit Scotland's annual review of the sector found there were 220,680 students by headcount in 2015/16, the smallest number since 2006/07.
It said the financial health of colleges remained "relatively stable" but it has deteriorated since 2014/15.
The Scottish government disputed some of the figures used in the report.
But it sparked criticism of the government by opposition parties and unions, which claim the further education sector needs more funding.
The report found that part-time students fell by 8% from 2014/15, to 151,498 in 2015/16 while full-time students were down 1% over the same period to 77,332.
However, as overall demand for college places is not recorded nationally, it is not known whether this decrease is due to a fall in demand.
Auditor General Caroline Gardner said: "There is a growing risk to colleges' ability to keep delivering what the Scottish government requires from the sector as a result of major financial challenges and a declining student population.
"Colleges need to plan ahead so their future budgets can withstand the impact of cost pressures.
"Demand for college courses and the effects of demographic shifts also need to be assessed so educational provision can be designed around these."
Government funding will increase between 2015/16 and 2017/18, but most of this relates to a capital project at Forth Valley, with the sector still facing several financial challenges, the report states.
Colleges Scotland has estimated that implementing national bargaining, to harmonise pay and conditions for all college employees, could cost about £80m over three years.
Since 2012/13, the government has set a national target for the colleges to deliver a specific volume of learning.
Despite the fall in students, the sector exceeded the target in 2015/16, with 1,752,536 credits achieved against a target of 1,689,431, but performance has declined since 2013/14.
Demographic changes - such as a decline in 16 to 19-year-olds - are also expected to make it harder for the sector to continue to meet the target in future years.
The Scottish government said some of the figures used on student numbers were not directly comparable with data gathered a decade ago and that overall student headcount had increased slightly over the past year.
A spokeswoman added: "This report highlights that Scotland's college sector is financially stable overall and that colleges continue to exceed their targets for student learning opportunities.
"It also identifies areas where improvements can be made."
She said the government would work closely with the Scottish Funding Council and colleges to consider the report's findings.
Scottish Conservative education spokeswoman Liz Smith said: "These figures show fewer people are entering college than at any time since the nationalists came to power and they have to explain why they've let this happen."
Larry Flanagan, general secretary of teaching union EIS, said: "The EIS is concerned with the continuing drop in student numbers which follows on from last year's similar decline - particularly in the number of part-time students.
"We are concerned that funding across the sector for the year 2017-18 will only increase by 1% after some exceptional capital funding at Forth Valley College is excluded."
Scottish Labour MSP Monica Lennon said: "This report highlights the mess SNP ministers have made of pay deals for college lecturers and the huge cost it will take to settle the deal. The theme here is constant - further education simply needs more funding."
Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott, said: "The Scottish government's narrow, short-term focus has slashed opportunities for lifelong and part-time learning, depriving many of the chance to gain the new skills they and our businesses need.
"This report rightly calls into question the sustainability of this approach."
As world number one Jason Day led after a course-record equalling 63, McIlroy could only manage two birdies on a low-key opening day.
McDowell also carded two birdies in his 72 which was also matched by Dubliner Padraig Harrington.
Shane Lowry sharing second spot two behind Day after an opening 65.
Lowry was joined on 65 by England's Justin Rose and American trio Cameron Tringale, Bill Haas and Brendan Steele.
With 82 players under par at Sawgrass, McIlroy and McDowell will need an improved showing on Friday to survive into the weekend.
The Northern Irish duo were joined on 72 by Jordan Spieth, who was playing his first event since surrendering a back-nine lead at the Masters last month.
Masters winner Danny Willett opened with a two-under-par 70.
It said the drop was as a result of new rules introduced by the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The FCA tightened the regulations in April 2014, and introduced a cap on payday loan charges in January 2015.
Between January and March 2014, before the changes, Citizens Advice received 10,155 complaints about lenders.
In the same period a year later, the number fell to 5,554 - a drop of 45%.
"The drop in the number of problems reported to us about payday loans is good news for consumers," said Citizens Advice chief executive, Gillian Guy.
"It demonstrates the impact a strong stance against irresponsible lending can have on people's lives."
When the FCA took over regulation of the payday loan market in April 2014, it introduced new rules.
These included a limit on the number of times a loan could be "rolled over", or continued from month to month; stricter lending criteria; and limits on advertising.
Since January this year there have also been caps on repayments.
No one has to pay more than 0.8% a day of the amount borrowed, and no one has to pay back any more than twice what they borrowed.
Since April 2014, the size of the payday loan market has shrunk considerably.
While there were up to 400 high-cost short-term lenders registered back then, just 247 applied to the FCA for authorisation in February.
Two months ago Wonga - the largest payday lender - reported a 36% fall in the number of loans it was making. It said the number of customers had fallen from over a million to 575,000.
The review by the National Audit Office said last year this cost nearly £500m - almost a fifth of all spending on maternity.
Public Accounts Committee chairwoman Margaret Hodge said the figure was "absolutely scandalous".
The Department of Health said the NHS is one of the safest places in the world to have a baby.
Having a baby is the most common reason for admission to hospital in England.
The number of births has increased by almost a quarter in the last decade, reaching nearly 700,000 live births.
The public spending watchdog said maternity services were generally good for women and babies, but there was still a lot of scope for improvement.
Its report highlighted "wide unexplained variations" between trusts in rates of complications such as readmissions, injuries and infections.
Laura Blackwell, director of health value for money studies at the National Audit Office, told the BBC the number of maternity claims had risen significantly in recent years.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, she said: "There has been an increase in claims and we don't cover exactly why. It is the same across the NHS.
"I think it's a complicated picture... further complicated by the fact it takes an average of four years for a claim to be settled... so it's quite hard to draw conclusions about the current state of care."
The NAO also pointed to a shortage of midwives and consultants on labour wards. The report concluded that a further 2,300 midwives are required, though their distribution across England varies substantially.
And although it said the level of consultant presence has improved, more than half of units are not meeting the standard recommended by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
The report noted that between April and September last year more than a quarter of maternity units were closed to admissions for at least half a day because demand outstripped capacity.
Clinical negligence claims for maternity have risen by 80% in the last five years. The cost of cover last year was £482m, and the average payment per claim was £277,000.
Figures from the NHS Litigation Authority released last year showed the health service in England paid out more than £3bn in compensation claims linked to maternity care between 2000 and 2010.
Ms Hodge said: "I find it absolutely scandalous that one fifth of all funding for maternity services, equivalent to around £700 per birth, is spent on clinical negligence cover."
She said the NAO report had shown an urgent need to improve maternity services.
"The department needs to buck up and take responsibility for this. It needs to review its monitoring and reporting process to ensure that all relevant bodies can work effectively together to deliver maternity services that are value for money and fit for purpose."
James (not his real name), a recipient of medical negligence money, told the Today programme the money had helped give his son a better quality of life.
He and his wife did not claim for negligence until six months after the birth of their son, when they realised the costs involved in his care. Their son had been starved of oxygen during birth and now suffers from quadriplegic cerebral palsy, severe brain damage, visual impairment and epilepsy.
Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter said the health service should always learn from any mistakes to improve patient care in the future.
"The NHS remains one of the safest places in the world to have a baby, but on rare occasions care falls below acceptable standards and unsafe care should never be tolerated."
He said the service was making progress.
"This report shows that most women have good outcomes and positive experiences of maternity care. We know 84% of women now say they have good care, which has gone up from 75% six years ago. But we are determined to improve further."
Royal College of Midwives chief executive Cathy Warwick said the report backed up what the college had been saying for a long time.
"We are many thousands of midwives short of the number needed to deliver safe, high quality care. Births are at a 40-year high and other figures out this week show that this is set to continue. As the report states, births are also becoming increasingly complex putting even more demands on midwives and maternity services."
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists president Dr David Richmond said the NAO report raised valid concerns.
"Although the UK is generally a safe place for women to give birth, we have known for some time that pressure on maternity services is growing in some areas, particularly inner city conurbations, placing stress on clinicians, managers and patients alike."
The £2.6m station will be built at Craig-y-Don on the Victorian resort's North Shore.
It will house the latest £2m Shannon class all-weather lifeboat, which is expected to be delivered in 2017.
The current boathouse is landlocked on a busy street, with the lifeboat towed through the town to the sea by tractor.
"All the crew are delighted - it's been the culmination of over a 20-year search for a new lifeboat station," said Capt Marcus Elliot, the RNLI's volunteer operations manager in Llandudno.
"We operate from a very cramped station in the centre of the town, and the new lifeboats that are being put out would not fit in that lifeboat station.
"Had we not acquired this new site, the all-weather lifeboat service - which has been in Llandudno since 1861 - would have come to an end."
Plans for a new lifeboat house in the town have been under discussion since the 1990s, with original plans to site it near Llandudno Pier thrown out by planners back in 1998.
It left the volunteer crews stuck in their Lloyd Street station, which they describe as no longer fit for purpose.
In addition to the length of time it takes to drag their Mersey class lifeboat through the streets before it can be launched, there are inadequate changing, drying, training and meeting facilities at the boathouse.
"To get to this stage really is the realisation of a dream to everyone involved with Llandudno RNLI," added Capt Elliot.
"We would like to thank the large number of people who so kindly took the trouble to show their support for the RNLI's planning application by calling, phoning, posting items on social media, writing letters and emailing - your support was invaluable and has been greatly appreciated by everyone at Llandudno Lifeboat Station."
The RNLI said it hoped to complete the new station in about 14 months, when it will become operational with the new Shannon boat.
BBC Scotland has confirmed his name is Abdul Rakib Amin, and he is known to his friends as Rakib, but also seems to go under other names.
He is believed to be aged 25.
It is understood he attended Sunnybank Primary and St Machar Academy in Aberdeen.
Fellow pupil Naz Hussain said: "I just knew him as a nice guy, a normal lad that was up for playing football.
"He was outgoing. He got into trouble now and then but nothing major. He was just a normal guy.
"The Bangladeshi community in Aberdeen are really great people. They are really hard-working and I just don't want this to damage them.
"This is just one individual that's maybe lost touch a little bit."
He added: "Everyone's just shocked really. It's just such a weird thing to happen in a city like Aberdeen."
The mosque imam, Ibrahim Alwawi, rejected the idea that Rakib could have been radicalised at the mosque in Aberdeen.
He said they would welcome him back there, but not if he had been radicalised.
The 13-minute video, There Is No Life Without Jihad, emerged on Friday, posted by accounts linked to Isis.
Two of the six fighters shown in the film urging Muslims to join a holy war have been identified as Nasser Muthana and Reyaad Khan from Cardiff.
The news has stunned people in Aberdeen.
Muslim leaders across the country have called for continued dialogue between local communities and the police.
Dr Salah Beltagui from the Muslim Council of Scotland said: "We have issued a statement saying going to Syria or Iraq is not helping.
"You are making things worse for your family here in Scotland.
"There should be a better way of helping people in Iraq and Syria."
Dr Beltagui said he was not aware of other men leaving Scotland to fight with Isis and other terror groups.
He said: "These men who have gone out there were not recruited through open channels.
"They have been recruited through the internet.
"This (type of recruitment) has been going on for three years, so there is nothing new there.
"It is a pity we haven't done anything earlier."
Scottish government minister for external affairs Humza Yousaf said he "does not doubt the enormity of the challenge" in tackling radicalisation at home and abroad.
He said: "Police Scotland have been working with the Muslim community in Scotland for 10 years.
"It is important that close co-operation of intelligence services continues.
"There is close co-operation in the UK but also across boundaries and across borders."
Mr Yousaf added: "The Muslim community and the police have a great relationship in Scotland.
"When I go to Friday prayers in the mosque, very often there will be a police officer there talking to young people.
"Having that close relationship is imperative because intelligence is incredibly important in a situation like this.
"I have said in the past, the best way to tackle extremist ideology is by empowering moderate ideology.
"The vast, vast majority of Muslims and Muslim preachers and scholars in Scotland are moderate.
"To give them a voice whilst doing the important work the police are doing is the two-prong strategy to keep the people of Scotland safe."
Carwyn Jones was responding to a claim by Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb that arguments about the constitution could harm the economy.
It comes after Mr Crabb published proposals for the next stage of devolution in the draft Wales Bill.
Mr Jones said Mr Crabb was the one "banging on" about the constitution.
In a speech in Cardiff on Thursday, Mr Crabb attacked the Welsh government for failing to make progress on the M4 relief road and rail electrification in the south Wales valleys.
But Mr Jones told BBC Wales: "The one banging on about the constitution is him - I haven't mentioned it once.
"What he has to realise is that what he's produced is a rusty old banger, given it a paint job and then tried to pretend it's a flashy new car. That's not what the people of Wales want."
He said the Wales Bill was "so unstable, potentially we will be talking about the constitution forever and a day".
The M4 relief road cannot be built faster, he said, because there is a legal process to follow and some Conservative AMs were opposed to the project.
Delays to rail electrification were the fault of the UK government, he added.
Mr Smith praised his rival but said he was "not a leader", saying he had "sloganised" on austerity without setting out what he would do instead.
Mr Smith also described as "nonsense" criticism of him over the NHS, based on comments made while working for Pfizer.
Unnamed Corbyn allies in the Times seized upon the 2005 remarks that choice in the NHS was a "good thing".
The former shadow work and pensions secretary is now the only challenger to Mr Corbyn after the withdrawal of Angela Eagle on Tuesday.
In a series of interviews on Wednesday morning, Mr Smith said Labour would split if Mr Corbyn was re-elected, saying he had personally warned the leader the party was "teetering on the brink of extinction".
He said he was the candidate to "save the Labour Party" and make it a "credible government in waiting" as he faced a wide range of questions.
These included a focus on a 2005 press release by medical charity the King's Fund in which Mr Smith, then working for Pfizer, says that "we believe that choice is a good thing", adding that patients and healthcare professionals "should be at the heart of developing the agenda".
He was referring to a report about public attitudes to a range of ideas on healthcare provision, including care outside hospitals and further expansion of private providers. The study included focus groups exploring "the use of direct payments".
Mr Smith said the Times story, which included anonymous criticism of him as a "Blair lite" candidate, was a "a hatchet job" designed to damage his leadership campaign.
He said: "It is a gross exaggeration and extrapolation of one comment in a press release about a report commissioned by Pfizer before I worked there, at a period in which the last Labour government was using the word choice to describe getting private providers to do hip and knee and cataract operations."
He said he had "never advocated privatisation of the NHS".
Mr Smith was also asked about the time he called a police hotline - rather than 999 as previously reported - to get a comment for a story during his time working as a BBC researcher.
He acknowledged it had been a "stupid mistake".
He said he would be willing to press the nuclear button if elected as prime minister and said the government should consider nationalising the steel industry if necessary to save it.
He praised Mr Corbyn for helping Labour "rediscover its radical roots" and said he would offer his rival the role of party president if he won so he could "speak for the party" to the wider membership.
But he said Mr Corbyn was "not a leader", saying his rival had "sloganised" about being anti-austerity but had "never spelt out what he wants to spend".
Mr Smith will go up against Mr Corbyn in a head-to-head contest over the next two months, in which party members who joined Labour before 12 January, members of trade unions affiliated to Labour and registered supporters who sign up by paying £25 before the 17:00 deadline on Wednesday will be able to take part.
Meanwhile, in a statement on his Facebook page, former leader Ed Miliband urged Labour supporters to register to vote in the leadership election and back Mr Smith.
"Labour isn't fated to be a disunited party arguing with each other. Turning inwards not outwards," Mr Miliband says.
"We can be a strong party, putting forward progressive ideas, challenging the Tories, and being in a position to win an election, reaching out to voters across the country, not talking to ourselves."
Mr Corbyn acknowledged the party was divided but said he was proud of his achievements over the past 10 months and believed he should be given the chance to build on them.
"My vision is built around an economy that delivers for everyone, in every part of the country," he said. "Let's have a comradely debate this summer - and emerge stronger and more united to protect our communities and defeat this Conservative government."
There are fears that a period of political uncertainty will hamper efforts by Italian banks to raise fresh finance.
Shares in Monte dei Paschi, one of Italy's most troubled banks, fell 4% on fears that its rescue plan might fail.
Banca Popolare di Milano ended almost 8% lower and Banco Popolare Societa Cooperativa finished 7% lower.
Many Italian banks are struggling with a burden of bad debt and are in need of refinancing.
It was thought that a victory for the Yes camp in the referendum would have seen investors stepping in to help recapitalise the banks.
But given that the No voters won, analysts are now unsure about what sort of help will be forthcoming:
"The economy is gradually recovering but it is also being held back by the problems in the banking sector which haven't been addressed properly so far," said Lorenzo Codogno, former chief economist at the Italian Treasury and founder of LC Macro Advisors.
"So I think the combination of domestic and international factors plus the open issue of the banking sector are at the root of not particularly brilliant growth."
Poll defeat risks Italy political crisis
Referendum adds to Italian banks' woes
Why Italy's vote matters
Latest market reaction
The euro was hit after Mr Renzi said he would resign.
At one stage it hit $1.0505, its lowest level against the dollar since March 2015.
But it recovered to trade 0.7% higher at $1.0737 by the close in Europe on Monday.
Kathleen Brooks, research director at City Index Direct, said there was caution among investors but not panic.
"While the markets are likely to remain nervous as we start a new week, they haven't fallen off a cliff, so far," she said.
"Either markets are becoming immune to political risk, or they are taking the view that the Italian issue will be a slow-burner, even if the president can't form a government, he still has 70 days to try, and that seems quite far away at this stage."
If the consortium of investors does decide the plan to rescue Monte dei Paschi is now too risky, then the government may have no choice but to nationalise the bank.
That would trigger a so-called "bail in" which means people who lent the bank money would have to write it off.
Unfortunately, 65% of those creditors are ordinary retail investors so the damage would be widespread and politically toxic.

The size of Italy's government debt is also a concern.
Government borrowing, depending on which figures you look at, is one of the largest in the eurozone.
Italy's cost of borrowing rose on Monday.
The country's 10-year government bond yield was up from 1.896% at the end of last week to 2.034%.
Yields rise when the price of bonds falls.
Mr Renzi's defeat adds to pressure on the European Union following June's Brexit vote in the UK.
"It's not very hard to see a new election on the horizon, and it's not very hard to see the 5-Star Movement taking power with stated aims to either leave the EU, drop the euro, or both," said Mark Wills from State Street Global Advisors.
"For Italy, establishing stable governance and a plan to guide the nation is of critical importance given the fragility of the economy, challenging policies and the liquidity problems in the banking system."
It happened when kidnap and firearms officers were involved in an operation in Uxbridge earlier on Saturday.
The Met said there was an "unintentional discharge of a firearm" and no one was injured as a result.
A man was found with multiple stab injuries at the scene and taken to hospital in a "serious condition".
Two men have been arrested in connection with the operation, which the police refused to comment on.
The Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed of the firearms incident.
Mr Kerry told the BBC the situation could concentrate minds on the need to negotiate a two-state solution.
A 72-hour humanitarian truce is holding in Gaza, halting a four-week conflict that has claimed more than 1,900 lives.
Israel and the Palestinians have sent delegations to Cairo to discuss the possibility of a longer-term truce.
Mr Kerry, in a BBC interview, said the US fully supported Israel's right to defend itself against militant rocket attacks.
"No country can live with that condition and the United States stands squarely behind Israel's right to defend itself in those circumstances. Period."
Mr Kerry said that Hamas, which controls Gaza, had "behaved in an unbelievably shocking manner engaging in this activity and, yes, there has been horrible collateral damage as a result".
Asked whether he supported Palestinian demands for a lifting of Israel's blockade of Gaza, Mr Kerry said: "What we want to do is support the Palestinians in their desire to improve their lives and to get food in and to open crossings and to reconstruct and have greater freedom."
But he said that had to come "with a greater responsibility towards Israel, which means giving up rockets".
8 July
Israeli offensive began
4,760+ air strikes on Gaza
3,488 rockets fired at Israel
1,973 people killed in Gaza
UN estimates +70% of deaths are civilians
3 civilians killed in Israel
64 Israeli soldiers killed
Mr Kerry said all this would only come together with a "bigger, broader approach to the underlying solution of two states" that would provide security for Israel and "a better life and greater freedoms for the Palestinians".
Mr Kerry added: "I believe that the situation now that has evolved will concentrate people's minds on the need to get back to the negotiations and try and resolve the issues of the two states."
Tuesday's truce came into effect at 08:00 local time (05:00 GMT) and has so far held.
Israel withdrew all forces to positions outside Gaza and many Gazans began to return to discover the state of their homes following the four-week conflict.
Manar Abu Louli returned to find that her home in Rafah had been used by the Israelis as a makeshift field HQ.
"She is lucky," a relative told Associated Press (AP). "If they had not wanted to use her home for shelter, they would have shelled it to bits."
Some Israelis close to the border were unconvinced the military had finished its job removing tunnels used by militants to infiltrate Israel.
"Who can promise me that all the tunnels have been destroyed? I am angry that they are not pressing on with the offensive," Leah Musafi, who lives on the Nir Am kibbutz, told Reuters.
Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza have been returning to their homes. Many have found nothing left.
We met the Za'Noun family in Beit Hanoun, one of the worst affected areas right on the border with Israel. Their family home has been destroyed for the third time.
The Za'Nouns will rebuild again. "Where else can we go?" Khalil Za'Noun, 80, asked me.
One of his 34 grandchildren, Mohammed, has already lived through four wars in his short life. He's just 14.
But this will not be the last war in Gaza. This truce is only a short-term fix. None of the big issues between Israelis and Palestinians has been fixed.
The latest ceasefire was brokered by Egypt in talks between Palestinian delegates in Cairo on Monday.
Israel did not take part but has now sent a team for indirect negotiations.
The main Palestinian demands include the end of Israel's blockade of the territory and the opening of border crossings. They will also want internationally funded reconstruction.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said Israel's main focus for a longer-term deal would be on demilitarising Gaza to achieve a "sustained period of quiet".
But senior Hamas official Izzat Rishq told AP: "We'd take the life of anyone who tries to take the weapons of resistance."
Israel launched Operation Protective Edge on 8 July with the stated aim of ending rocket attacks and destroying tunnels used by Palestinian militants.
The latest figures from Gaza's health ministry list 1,867 deaths. Some 63 Israeli soldiers and four civilians in Israel have died.
Gaza's Deputy Economy Minister Taysir Amro said the cost could be up to $6bn (£3.55bn).
Separately on Tuesday, Israel revealed it had arrested a Palestinian suspected of involvement in the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in June. Hussam Kawasme was arrested on 11 July.
The deaths and subsequent apparent revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager were key factors in escalating tension.
The announcement has sparked strong reaction on both sides of the debate.
Nazif, 37, is Muslim. Originally from Afghanistan, he has lived in the UK since 2002.
While his relatives do not regularly wear either the burka or the niqab, he is not in favour of an outright ban.
"If it came about voluntarily I would welcome it," he said.
"I'm not in favour of the burka.
"But if women want to wear it or they don't, it should be up to the women themselves."
Mr Nuttall has cited security concerns as one of the motivations behind the proposed ban.
But for Nazif and his family, back in Afghanistan it was the burka which offered security on otherwise dangerous journeys across the country.
Travelling to Pakistan, he says they were forced to travel through checkpoints controlled by non-government forces.
"Having your face revealed was a sign that you are part of the government," he said.
"My sisters wore the veil in order not to arouse suspicion."
When they were safe, they would remove the veil again.
"If they want to ban the veil it must not be banned under the pretext of security," he said.
"Paul Nuttall sees it as an election chip but he doesn't know the full reason.
"In my own family's experience it was a way of getting from point A to point B.
"I am 100% behind a move towards phasing out the veil. But encourage those who wear it to feel safe."
Writing on Twitter, social media user Rachel Robbins was equally sceptical of the security pretext for UKIP's proposed ban.
But others disagree. Brian, from Lichfield, reflected the mood of much of the correspondence the BBC received.
"It's a security issue," he wrote.
"You can't go into a bank or building society wearing a crash helmet or other 'western' headgear that covers the face.
"The same should apply to the burka and the veil."
Mr Nuttall also highlighted concerns about integration as a key reason for proposing the ban.
"I don't believe you can integrate fully and enjoy the fruits of British society if you can't see people's faces," he said on the BBC's Andrew Marr programme.
Jennifer, who works in Bradford, agreed that full-face veils could be a barrier to integration.
"I've worked in Bradford for a long time," she said.
"I'm increasingly seeing more women with their faces covered.
"I see the increase in women wearing it as evidence of the polarisation of these communities and the isolation of these women from mainstream society.
"It seems like a deliberate barrier to separate them."
Marwa, from London, disagrees. Two years ago she decided to start wearing a hijab - a headscarf worn by many Muslim women. The hijab would not be included in the proposed ban.
"A lot of my family don't wear the hijab," she said, "but it was my individual choice.
"I liked the way I felt when I wore it.
"I'm not sure that banning religious expressions and beliefs will help Muslims feel like they're part of Britain.
"It's this kind of barely tolerant attitude that makes Muslims feel further excluded and alienated.
"It seems to me that Mr Nuttall believes that in order to allow women to be free and to be 'integrated' they must first be told how to dress.
"The hypocrisy of his argument is baffling. What is it that he really wants?"
Others have also questioned the motivation behind Mr Nuttall's announcement.
Writing on Twitter, Brendan Cox, the activist and husband of murdered MP Jo Cox, suggested the move had more to do with UKIP's poll numbers.
Some European countries, including France, already enforce a public ban on full-face veils, while in December 2016 German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that wearing full-faced veils should be prohibited in Germany "wherever it is legally possible".

Kvyat's place at Toro Rosso had been in doubt after a loss in form following his demotion from the senior Red Bull team in a swap with Max Verstappen.
But a revival in the past few races has secured his position.
"I always told Daniil his future was in his hands and he has stepped up to the mark," said team boss Franz Tost.
"In recent races, it has been clear that Daniil is back on top form."
The 22-year-old thanked Red Bull "for their support and the faith they have shown in me since I returned to the team earlier this year".
He added: "I'm very happy to stay with a team that feels like home to me. I'm really looking forward to continuing the hard work together in 2017 and I'm really aiming high.
"I will always be fully dedicated, giving my '200%', and I will be pushing as hard as I usually do."
The decision is a blow for Frenchman Pierre Gasly, the next Red Bull junior in line and the team's reserve driver. Gasly is in contention for the GP2 championship.
Team-mate Carlos Sainz's position was confirmed as long ago as June, but both drivers have been of interest to other teams in recent weeks.
Renault made a move for Sainz and Force India have talked to Kvyat since Nico Hulkenberg's decision earlier this month to move to the French team next year.
Toro Rosso's decision leaves relatively few teams without confirmed driver line-ups and the main interest is now in Williams, Force India and Renault.
Williams are to promote the Canadian rookie Lance Stroll and are expected to retain Valtteri Bottas as his partner, although the Finn has been in talks with Renault, who are also keen to sign him.
The identity of team-mates for Sergio Perez at Force India and Hulkenberg at Renault remains the subject of speculation.
Renault will decide between their current drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer, and Manor's Esteban Ocon.
Force India are also interested in Ocon, while Palmer and the other Manor driver Pascal Wehrlein are in the frame as well.
United States Grand Prix coverage details
Mason Beau Jennians, 17, died after falling while working in Devon in December 2014.
Colin Jeffery, 58, from Durham Close, Paignton, boss of Devon-based Utterley Gutterley, was found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence.
At Exeter Crown Court police said Jeffery had a "total disregard for the safety of his employees".
Mr Jennians, who was known as Beau, was working at the Coach House in Abbotskerswell without proper safety equipment and precautions when he fell, the court heard.
Police said the "vast majority" of Jeffery's employees "were young men who were vulnerable to the risks of dangerous work by virtue of their youth, inexperience and inability to appreciate risk".
Det Insp Steve Davies, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said Jeffery engaged his staff "with a flagrant disregard for the regulations which govern work at height" with the sole aim "of providing a cheap quote to customers that would secure him work".
He said: "He completely failed to consider or implement even the most basic of safety measures.
"His working practices were inevitably going to lead to the serious injury and death of one his employees at some point in time."
Jeffery pleaded guilty to four other health and safety offences over work carried out at four other properties in the Torbay area.
Couples will now be allowed to have two children, it said, citing a statement from the Communist Party.
The controversial policy was introduced nationally in 1979, to slow the population growth rate.
It is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births. However concerns at China's ageing population led to pressure for change.
Couples who violated the one-child policy faced a variety of punishments, from fines and the loss of employment to forced abortions.
Over time, the policy has been relaxed in some provinces, as demographers and sociologists raised concerns about rising social costs and falling worker numbers.
The decision to allow families to have two children was designed "to improve the balanced development of population'' and to deal with an aging population, according to the statement from the Community Party's Central Committee carried by the official Xinhua News Agency (in Chinese) on Thursday.
Currently about 30% of China's population is over the age of 50. The total population of the country is around 1.36 billion.
The Communist Party began formally relaxing national rules two years ago, allowing couples in which at least one of the pair is an only child to have a second child.
China's one-child policy
What was China's one-child policy?
Trauma and sympathy shared online
Correspondents say that despite the relaxation of the rules, many couples may opt to only have one child, as one-child families have become the social norm.
Critics say that even a two-child policy will not boost the birth rate enough, the BBC's John Sudworth reports.
And for those women who want more than two children, nor will it end the state's insistence on the right to control their fertility, he adds.
"As long as the quotas and system of surveillance remains, women still do not enjoy reproductive rights," Maya Wang of Human Rights Watch told AFP.
I was born in 1979, the year the one-child policy was implemented. And even then, I wasn't supposed to be born.
In my parents' work unit, there were also quotas for babies. By the time my mother announced her pregnancy, the quotas were all used up for the year.
But kind-hearted officials decided to look the other way and allowed my birth. My would-be siblings were less lucky.
As a result of the policy, my mother had to endure two abortions. Even today, she talks about 'Number Two' and 'Number Three' and what they might have been like.

Carrie Gracie: U-turn may not bring prosperity
Writing in The Conversation, Stuart Gietel-Basten, associate professor of social policy at the University of Oxford, says the reform with do little to change China's population and is instead a "pragmatic response to an unpopular policy that made no sense".
The announcement in China came on the final day of a summit of the Communist Party's policy-making Central Committee, known as the fifth plenum.
The party also announced growth targets and its next five year plan.
The Scottish Information Commissioner ordered the Scottish government to release data to campaigners.
Producers of farmed salmon are issued with licences which allow seals to be shot to protect fish stocks.
There were 176 seals killed in the past two years - 95 in 2013 and 81 last year - but the numbers shot have declined steadily since 2011.
The Scottish government publishes headline figures online regarding licences and shootings on a quarterly basis.
But campaigners have long argued detailed information about the number of seals being shot should be published, to enable consumers to make informed choices about whether or not to buy farmed salmon.
Ministers said fish farm staff, and their families, could receive threats if the information was released.
The Information Commissioner did not accept that disclosing the information would represent a substantial threat to public safety and ordered its release last month.
The newly-released figures have a level of detail which reveals for the first time exactly which salmon farms shot seals to protect their stock.
The majority of seals were shot at farms owned by Scottish Sea Farms (58), Hjaltland Sea Farms (38) and The Scottish Salmon Company (23) during the two-year period.
However, the number of seals shot at Hjaltland Sea Farms reduced drastically from 32 to six between 2013 and 2014.
Its location at Lax Firth on Shetland killed 24 seals over the two years.
A spokesman for Hjaltland told BBC Scotland: "Seals attack our cages, killing and damaging salmon and tearing nets which may end in salmon escaping."
He said the company lost £3m of salmon due to seal attacks in 2013 and 2014.
The massive reduction in shooting was because the worst-affected sites had been equipped with "predator nets", he said.
"Where we installed predator nets or the new net types, seal attacks and seal losses stopped," the spokesman said.
A spokeswoman from The Scottish Salmon Company, which shot 23 seals, said: "We operate more than 40 marine sites around the west coast of Scotland and the Outer Hebrides and, in line with industry best practice, we apply rigorous measures to exclude and deter persistent predator attacks.
"The action highlighted was taken as a last resort under a government licence over a two-year period, when rogue seals persistently interfered with the integrity of the nets.
"We have implemented an investment programme for farm infrastructure which includes nets, acoustic devices, and mooring replacement to ensure seals do not cause stress to or damage our fish."
Scottish Sea Farms, which killed the most seals, did not respond to the BBC's requests for comment.
Each year the Sea Mammal Research Unit at the University of St Andrews calculates the number of individual seals that can be removed from the population without causing a decline in the population.
This number - known as the Potential Biological Removal (PBR) - is then used to determine how many licences may be issued each year, and how many seals may be legally shot.
The number of grey seals killed declined from 79 in 2013 to 56 last year but there was a slight increase in the killing of the more rare "common" seal (16 to 25).
However, both these totals were below the PBR limits for grey and common seals (3,002 and 617 respectively) for 2014.
Don Staniford, of the Global Alliance Against Industrial Aquaculture, has been the man behind pursuing the freedom of information requests.
He said: "Scottish salmon is dripping with the blood of dozens of seals."
Mr Staniford said thanks to information commissioner the public could now read "the gory details".
He added: "Salmon farmers may be armed with guns but the public has an even more powerful weapon - Freedom of Information.
"The process of naming and shaming has forced the industry to reduce the killing of seals. People-power can eventually force a complete ceasefire and bring the figures down to zero."
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "The level of seal shooting has reduced by 56% overall between 2011 and 2014 and in fish farms specifically has reduced by 66% in the same period.
"All fish farms which have applied for a seal licence already employ at least one, and many a range of, non-lethal alternatives, with shooting to be used only as a last resort.
"There are a range of views on the effectiveness of the various non-lethal measures and none have, to-date, entirely eliminated the risk of seal predation.
"There are also restrictions on the use of some non-lethal measures, including anti-predator nets and acoustic deterrents, as a result of their potential impact on other marine species."
St Helens' Livesey, 21, started slowly against Krygyzstan's Kseniia Beldiagina but, with 90 seconds to go, executed a big throw for waza-ari and saw it out.
It was her second Grand Prix medal after -57kg bronze in Zagreb last year.
"I felt rusty and slow but I'm really pleased," said Livesey, who will fight in this month's European Championships.
"Returning from injury is really hard because you doubt yourself, thinking you're not as good as you were but it's really great to be back on the podium."
On Saturday, Livesey's sister Amy (-63kg) fights for Britain, as do junior world number one Lubjana Piovesana (-63kg), Gemma Howell (-70kg) and Ebony Drysdale-Daley (-70kg).
Darsh Patel, 22, and four friends encountered the bear on Sunday inside the Apshawa Preserve, about 40 miles (64km) north-west of New York City.
The bear was circling Patel when officials found the student's body. Police killed the bear at the scene.
As many as 2,400 bears live in the forests of northern New Jersey.
The state has one of the highest black-bear densities in the nation but no human has been killed by a bear since 1852, Reuters news agency reports.
Any bear attacks on humans are unusual, experts say.
"It is definitely rare," said Lawrence Hajna, the state's environmental protection department spokesman.
Patel and his friends were hiking in the preserve on Sunday when they saw the bear following them. The group split up but when they regrouped, Patel was missing.
His friends called the police and his body was found two hours later. West Milford Police Chief Timothy Storbeck said the approximately 300 pound (136kg) male bear was about 40 yards (37m) from the body and would not leave when officers tried to scare it away.
In a statement, Rutgers University, which Patel attended, confirmed he was a final year student of information technology.
"As we grieve over his tragic passing, please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones, and to all his friends and fellow students at Rutgers," the university's chancellor, Richard Edwards, said.
Kelcey Burguess, leader of the state's black bear project, said the bear could have been predisposed to attack but more likely was looking for food, as wildlife officials believe there is a shortage of acorns and berries.
Officials do not believe the hikers provoked the bear but they may have showed their inexperience when they decided to run instead of moving slowly while avoiding eye contact with the animal.
One car driver, a man in his early 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene. The other, an 82-year-old man, had to be freed from his car and admitted to hospital.
The lorry driver was uninjured in the incident.
The crash occurred on Shipston Road, between Alderminster and Stratford-upon-Avon, at 14:00 GMT on 1 December.
Warwickshire Police confirmed the road was shut overnight, adding they are investigating the incident. | Brendan Rodgers was sacked as Liverpool manager after travelling from the brink of history to Anfield oblivion in the space of 18 months.
