The event is now in its 27th year and organisers have predicted the display will be the biggest yet.
There was an opening ceremony on Friday evening with an aerial display, fireworks and live music.
Weather permitting, attractions over the weekend will include the Red Arrow Display team, parachutists, and a Battle of Britain memorial flight.
Sunderland City Council said that last year the airshow drew an estimated one million visitors over its three days.
Flames could be seen erupting from a pipeline of the Gas Authority of India Limited (Gail) in East Godavari district early on Friday.
At least 10 people were injured. It is not clear what caused the blast.
Gail is India's largest state-owned natural gas processing and distribution company.
The company chairman BC Tripathi told the Press Trust of India that the fire occurred in an 18-inch (46cm) pipeline of the company near a refinery run by the state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Commission in Nagaram village.
"The reasons for the accident are not known yet. We are currently focused on rescue and relief operations," he said.
Andhra Pradesh Home Minister N Chinna Rajappa told BBC Hindi that "at least 14 people are dead".
Neetu Kumari Prasad, a senior official of the East Godavari district, said the fire, which has also gutted scores of houses, had been brought under control and the death toll could rise.
Federal Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told the BBC that a pipeline supplying gas to a local power plant had "ruptured" leading to the blast. The fire had affected one village, he added.
The government had ordered a "high-level probe" to find out the cause of the incident, he said.
Gail operates a 11,000km (6,840-mile) natural gas pipeline network and seven gas processing units across India. The company is also involved in petrochemicals, exploration, city gas distribution and wind and solar power.
Earlier this month, at least six people died from a poisonous gas leak following an explosion at one of India's largest steel plants in Chhattisgarh state.
Pizza made global headlines in July after Animals Asia started a petition to close the "ocean theme park" at the Grandview Centre in Guangzhou, China.
Videos show the "teary-eyed" bear slumped on the floor of his enclosure.
Neither the Grandview Centre nor the Yorkshire Wildlife Park would comment.
The Yorkshire Wildlife Park houses a specially created habitat for polar bears, which is currently home to four animals.
The park's Project Polar is an "innovative habitat" for polar bears, including a research and conservation programme.
"We would be delighted to see Pizza end up at Yorkshire Wildlife Park," said Animals Asia's welfare director Dave Neale.
"There can be a happy ending - Pizza would not only enjoy incredible facilities, he would also be part of a community of bears."
The charity said no financial payment would be offered for the bear, "with the fear that any funds could be used to buy more animals".
The owners of the indoor zoo in Guangzhou insist they have made improvements to the park since July. But Animals Asia said conditions were still cramped, with "nothing natural".
The "ocean theme park" is also home to beluga whales, walrus calves, a wolf and arctic foxes.
The versatile 25-year-old joined the Jags from Whitley Bay in 2011.
He has made 29 appearances this season, helping Thistle to a top-six place in the Premiership, guaranteeing their highest finish since 1981.
Elliott has featured in 167 games for Alan Archibald's side, scoring 13 goals in all competitions.
Glenn Taylor was filmed by a colleague pushing the 170 million-year-old red rock in Goblin Valley State Park and celebrating afterwards.
The two scouts say they have received death threats after the video was posted online.
The two men argue the rock was loose and could have fallen on a passer-by.
Utah State Parks spokesman Eugene Swalberg said the state authorities were considering bringing the charges after the incident.
"This is not behaviour that is appreciated or should exist in state parks," he told the Deseret News.
"This has been formed for literally millions of years, and it's supposed to last for a long time. It doesn't need individuals doing the work of Mother Nature."
The Boy Scouts of America - who have millions of members across the country - also condemned the action, warning that it would take "appropriate" measures.
The scout leaders said the stone was pushed over because of safety concerns.
However, scout leader Dave Hall told the Salt Lake Tribune: "I think we made the right decision, but probably the wrong method.
"We take full responsibility for whatever mistake we made, and we're open to whatever that means from the state, from the Boy Scouts' office, etc."
In the video, Mr Taylor is seen congratulating a colleague after the mushroom-shaped sandstone rock - known as a "goblin" - was toppled.
Halfway through the April-to-April jump racing season - but with the 'core' six month-period that climaxes at the festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree ahead - the most hotly anticipated storyline of the campaign seems to be shaping up neatly.
Richard Johnson, runner-up to AP McCoy in 16 of the record 20 championships he won before retirement in April, holds a lead of almost McCoy-esque proportions as he seeks an elusive first champion jockey title.
And it's no exaggeration to say that there is a universal belief within racing that, if justice is ever to be served, the 38-year-old simply must win the accolade.
It is a view held even among the fiercest of his rival jockeys.
"Obviously most of them are about 15 years younger than me," said Johnson said, a smile spreading across his face, as he spoke to BBC Sport at the first fixture of the main part of the jumps season at Cheltenham. "So they know they'll have plenty of time in the future.
"But, yes, I'm feeling massively the goodwill from them, from owners, from trainers and from the general public via social media, every day I go racing.
"I've had a great time riding - for 22 years in all - and it's nice to now hopefully get a chance to do the best I can and, if I could manage to get that title, it would mean everything to me.
Johnson, from a family in rural Herefordshire that has for generations mixed agriculture and racing in a way typical of jumping's grassroots, is by some way the second most successful jump jockey of all time.
So far, he has more than 2,900 successes to his name, including victory in the 2000 Cheltenham Gold Cup on Looks Like Trouble and the Champion Hurdle of 2003 on Rooster Booster, plus a Conditional Jockeys' title (for National Hunt apprentices), achieved under the tutelage of master-trainer David Nicholson.
How different the record books would look now if Northern Ireland-born McCoy, 41, who rode his first winner in Britain a few months after Johnson had partnered his initial success as a young amateur rider, had pursued alternative employment.
For most of us, being forced to live for such a long time in the shadow of an opponent, however towering, would lead to fury and resentment but, famously, the perennial runner-up to McCoy has never grumbled.
Was he really that philosophical? Johnson insists he was.
"OK, you're frustrated and you're always determined to try to beat him, and everything else, but at the end of the day I can only do my best," he said.
"I'd have been upset if I hadn't given every inch, but I did; unfortunately I never managed to ride as many winners as him.
"And he was a gentleman to work with, even if rather frustrating to ride against."
By way of further explanation, Johnson added: "In our job, the horses are the athletes and our job is to get on the fastest ones.
"But, you never know, you're on a winner one race, and half an hour later you could easily be on the floor, literally. That's why there's no time for bad-will or hard-feeling".
Trainers Philip Hobbs, a longstanding ally, Tim Vaughan, Gordon Elliott, Charlie Longsdon and McCoy's close associate Jonjo O'Neill have given Johnson the bulk of his total so far.
Though well aware that the most important months of the campaign lie ahead, he has galloped serenely past the landmark of a century of winners and, mid-season, holds a healthy advantage in the title race over rising stars Aidan Coleman and Sam Twiston-Davies.
It does put things into perspective, however, when you see that while Johnson reached his 100 in mid-October it was in August of the 2014-15 season that McCoy broke his own record for jumping's fastest 'ton'.
As for this season, Johnson has a single aim.
"To be champion jockey is my target - it has been for 22 years since I started, and that would be lovely," he said.
"I want to ride as many winners as possible every day of the week, whether it's Monday at Ayr or Saturday at Cheltenham.
"There are plenty of miles involved, and if you were doing it to ride one 50-1 shot, as some guys do, it would be much harder, but when things are going well it is only enjoyable."
Final question: has he thought what it would feel like to be Richard Johnson, champion jump jockey?
"I've thought about it for a long time," said the father-of-three, who on Saturday looks to win the prestigious Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby for the second year running on Menorah.
"It's just something that I'd be proud of a long way down the line.
"If I could be mentioned in the same breath as some of the people that have been champion jockeys before it would be amazing, something for me and my children to be very proud of."
There is coverage of the Bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on BBC Radio 5 live, Saturday, 31 October, 15:05 GMT
Sir Gerald Howarth made the comments during a debate on Northern Ireland.
He claimed Barra McGrory issued a notice to news desks advising them he would take "appropriate legal action" if they published any article that "alleges a lack of impartiality".
The PPS said it "would never seek to influence political debate".
Mr McGrory and the PPS had previously been criticised under parliamentary privilege by another Conservative MP, Sir Henry Bellingham over Troubles legacy cases.
Sir Gerald, a former defence minister, was directing his comments to Northern Ireland Secretary of State James Brokenshire.
The Conservative MP for Aldershot said he was making a "really firm plea" to Mr Brokenshire to "protect the interest of former British soldiers, currently being charged by the Sinn Féin supporting director of public prosecutions in Northern Ireland, with murder for events which took place over 40 years ago".
Sir Gerald added: "Is my right honourable friend aware that it appears that the director of public prosecutions issued a notice to news desks, not for publication.
"(It allegedly says) 'We would advise that if you should publish an article which alleges a lack of impartiality on the part of the director or any other prosecutor that the appropriate legal action would be taken, and we will make use of this correspondence in that regard and in relation to a claim for aggravated and exemplary damages'.
"Is this not an attempt to muzzle parliament and indeed to question the right of this house to support those soldiers who sought to bring about peace in Northern Ireland?"
Mr Brokenshire said that he had "some concerns about imbalance within the system" but he would "not comment on any individual decision".
Responding to Sir Gerald's claims, a PPS spokesperson said: "The Public Prosecution Service in Northern Ireland is wholly independent of all political parties and the political system.
"As such, we would never seek to influence political debate on any subject in any way.
"Equally, we must take all appropriate steps to ensure that our decision-making processes are protected from political influence from any source.
"This is necessary both to safeguard the integrity of prosecutorial decision making within the wider criminal justice system and to ensure that PPS staff are able to carry out difficult but important functions strictly in accordance with applicable law and the code for prosecutors.
"We are aware of Mr Howarth's political viewpoint in relation to the prosecution of cases involving soldiers, which is not enshrined in law in the UK.
"The Public Prosecution Service only applies the law as it currently stands in Northern Ireland and does so without fear, favour or prejudice."
Fire crews were called to Bishopbriggs Cultural Centre, in Auchinairn Road, at about 02:15.
Firefighters extinguished a blaze in a lock-up area. Some damage was caused to the building but no-one was injured.
Police Scotland said the fire was being treated as wilful fire-raising and an investigation was under way. They have also appealed for witnesses.
Bishopbriggs Cultural centre is listed as a mosque on the Glasgow Muslims webpage.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "A joint Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service investigation is under way into the cause and circumstances of the fire.
"This is still at a very early stage but it is being treated as wilful fire-raising."
A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and rescue service said: "We received a 999 call shortly after 02:15 this morning, reporting a fire at a building in Auchinairn Road in Bishopbriggs.
"We immediately sent two appliances from Bishopbriggs and Springburn fire stations and crews reached the scene about seven minutes later.
"They found a small fire within a lock-up and two firefighters in breathing apparatus extinguished the fire."
The spokesman added: "Our crews left the scene at around 03:30 this morning, however, specialist officers later attended to assist Police Scotland."
Fred McClenaghan shot Marion Millican at a laundrette in Portstewart, County Londonderry, three and half years ago.
The defendant, from Broad Street, Magherafelt, has already pleaded guilty to her manslaughter but the prosecution refused to accept his plea.
The court heard it was no accident, but "murder, pure and simple".
Mrs Millican, who was a married mother of four children, had begun a relationship with 52-year-old Mr McClenaghan after splitting from her husband in September 2009.
However, she ended the new relationship in December 2010, and was in the process of a reconciliation with her husband, just months before she was shot dead.
Mr McClenaghan killed her with a shotgun on 11 March, 2011, after confronting her as she sat having lunch with a friend in the laundrette where she worked.
In his opening address to the jury, a prosecution lawyer said it was the Crown's case that "the accused was motivated by his anger at Marion Millican ending their relationship".
"That he equipped himself with that shotgun, went to her place of work, and in a frame of mind, informed only by his anger at her, caused by her rejection of him, and his treatment of her, deliberately shot her, killing her.
"We say this is murder, pure and simple," the lawyer added.
The court also heard that during police interviews Mr McClenaghan remained mostly silent, although his solicitor did hand in a prepared statement, which was read to detectives.
In the statement, the defendant said: "It was my intention to kill myself... and that Marion would witness my suicide."
It further alleged that he "did not intend to harm" Mrs Millican.
"Marion's death was accidental, and I am truly sorry," Mr McClenaghan's statement added.
The jurors were told the pair's brief relationship had been peppered with "episodes of violence".
They also heard that in the months before her death, Mrs Millican was warned by police of a death threat from Mr McClenaghan, after he told counsellors of his intended suicide, and of his plan "to kill my girlfriend and then myself".
On the day of the shooting, the accused was filmed on CCTV entering the laundrette armed with a shotgun. He went to the kitchen where he confronted Mrs Millican and her friend Pamela Henry.
Mr McClenaghan was alleged to have grabbed the victim and demanded she come with him to talk, but she refused, fearing she would be "bundled into a car".
At this point Mr McClenaghan fired one shot into the ground between Mrs Millican and her workmate. Mrs Henry then ran and locked herself in a toilet before escaping from the building and raising the alarm.
The defendant claimed that while he was holding the shotgun, Mrs Millican grabbed it and they both struggled with the weapon, falling to the floor.
Mr McClenaghan said as they struggled he told Mrs Millican "to let go of the gun, but she didn't... the gun then went off".
The court heard the victim "sustained a significant chest wound" as a result of the shooting.
She was discovered by another friend, Gillian Johnston, when she called into the laundrette while walking her dog along Portstewart promenade.
The court heard Ms Johnston "saw the body lying on the floor and saw blood".
Mrs Millican's husband and Mrs Henry's husband went to the scene of the shooting, before the police and paramedics arrived.
The trial continues.
The document, released before the general election, incorrectly suggested that Nicola Sturgeon wanted David Cameron to remain as prime minister.
Scottish Lib Dem leader Mr Rennie said Mr Carmichael, the Orkney and Shetland MP, deserved a "second chance".
The SNP said Mr Carmichael faced a "credibility crisis".
The party has highlighted previous comments made by Mr Carmichael which it said was in breach of his own code.
Mr Rennie said: "He deeply regrets his actions, has accepted responsibility for his error of judgement, apologised to Nicola Sturgeon and the French ambassador and declined his ministerial severance payment.
"I have known Alistair for almost thirty years and have worked closely with him in parliament for almost a decade. I have always been impressed by his energy, dedication and professionalism.
"It is clear to me that recent events are an aberration.
"As a liberal I believe that people deserve a second chance. I hope fair-minded people would agree that Alistair Carmichael should be given that second chance."
On Saturday the Scottish Liberal Democrat Party executive agreed Mr Carmichael would not face any disciplinary action.
The leaked memo was a third-hand account of a conversation between Nicola Sturgeon and the French ambassador, in which Ms Sturgeon was reported to have said she wanted David Cameron to remain as prime minister. Both the first minister and the ambassador insisted this was not said.
SNP leader Ms Sturgeon previously called for Mr Carmichael to consider his position as an MP and described the leak of the confidential memo as a "blatant election dirty trick".
The Nationalists have highlighted Mr Carmichael's response to Labour MP Phil Woolas' dishonest campaign in the 2010 general election, for which an election court found Mr Woolas guilty of illegal practice under the Representation of The People Act 1983.
In a Shetland Times feature from November 2010, Mr Carmichael wrote: "The right to freedom of speech is a fundamental one but it does bring a responsibility with it to tell the truth. The right to smear an opponent is not one we should be defending."
The SNP also pointed out that Mr Carmichael supported the 2009 Early Day Motion for parliamentary elections (recall and primaries) bill on the right of voters to recall their MP in certain specified circumstances.
Mike McKenzie, SNP MSP for the Highlands and Islands, said: "Just when Mr Carmichael thought things couldn't get any worse he has been caught in breach of his own code - and this further deepens the credibility crisis he now finds himself in.
"Mr Carmichael misled his constituents during an election, and the only way that he can relieve the pressure he is under is to stand down."
He added: "Mr Carmichael's majority plummeted from nearly 10,000 to just over 800, and there appears to be a very strong reaction in Orkney and Shetland against him this weekend. The people in his constituency deserve to know the whole truth, and in my view would be best served by Mr Carmichael standing down."
Protests have been held in Kirkwall, Orkney, and Lerwick, Shetland, calling for Mr Carmichael to resign.
The confidential memo was published by the Daily Telegraph on 3 April as the general election campaign got under way.
It was written by a civil servant in the Scotland Office and claimed Ms Sturgeon told the French Ambassador to the UK, Sylvie Bermann, that she would prefer Mr Cameron, the leader of the Conservatives, to remain as prime minister.
The memo also claimed Ms Sturgeon said that Ed Miliband, who was then Labour's leader, was not prime minister material.
Ms Sturgeon and the ambassador both said it was incorrect.
The official cabinet office inquiry into the leaking of the memo said Mr Carmichael's former special adviser Euan Roddin gave the details to the Daily Telegraph - but he had Mr Carmichael's permission to do so.
Mr Carmichael said, while he had not seen the document before it was published by the newspaper, he was "aware of its content and agreed that my special adviser should make it public".
The number six seed went down 6-4 7-5 in a match lasting one hour and 33 minutes in south-west London.
One break of serve was enough to give Rybarikova the first set.
Trailing 5-4 in the second, Watson prolonged the match by breaking her opponent, but the world number 192 won the next two games to take the title.
Mr Corbyn was travelling from London to Newcastle earlier this month.
Virgin Trains has released CCTV footage appearing to contradict Mr Corbyn's story. Mr Corbyn's leadership campaign team later said that when the Labour leader boarded the train he had been "unable to find unreserved seats" but that train staff found him some after a family was upgraded to first class.
Here's what the Twittersphere really thinks of the whole affair, which is fast becoming known as #Traingate

Ben Gwynne captured the sight on the moors above Skipton, North Yorkshire at about 19:40 GMT.
Lunar rainbows are formed when moonlight, rather than direct sunlight, is refracted by moisture in the atmosphere.
On Sunday, a Hunter's Moon - also known as a blood moon - lit up skies over the UK.
If you have a picture of the Hunter's moon you'd like to share, email us at [email protected], post it on Facebook or tweet it to @BBCEngland
Mr Gwynne had stopped to take some photos of the supermoon when he caught sight of the rare moonbow.
"We'd gone into the Dales to take pictures and stopped on the way back to photograph the moon over some trees," he said.
"I'd never seen one before and getting to photograph it was amazing."

According to National Geographic, the hunter's supermoon is the first of three giant moons that we will see over the next few months.
The next full moon on 14 November will also be the largest full moon in the 21st century so far.
Bournemouth midfielder Jordon Ibe, 20, was driving home from a training session when his car was hit in Surrey Quays, south-east London.
The £15m former Liverpool player was threatened with a knife by one of the assailants, police said.
Scotland Yard said it was investigating whether the collision, at about 13:45 GMT on November 6, was deliberate.
Ibe, who was uninjured during the robbery, handed over a Rolex watch worth £25,000, according to the Sun newspaper.
The robbery came four days after West Ham striker Andy Carroll was allegedly threatened by gunmen as he drove to his home in Essex from the club's Rush Green training ground.
A man is due to appear in court in connection with the attack on Carroll.
Under the £726m deal, UnitingCare was meant to provide care for older and mentally ill people in Cambridgeshire.
But the consortium claimed the contract was not financially viable and pulled out of the deal in December.
A joint statement from the two organisations in the consortium said the National Audit Office's (NAO) findings provided "clarity".
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group had been been in charge of care for older and mentally ill people but put these services out to contract because it was trying to save money.
The UnitingCare Partnership's business case estimated net savings of £178m to the local health economy by 2020.
But the NAO's investigation into the contract - which ended just eight months after it started - has criticised the planning and the lack of data setting out the true cost of the service.
The report found the consortium had not taken account of VAT costs and underestimated both the changeover and running costs of delivering the service in drawing up its bid for the contract.
The report also found negotiations between the CCG and the UnitingCare were continuing when the contract started.
As a result, one month into the contract UnitingCare asked for £34m in extra funding which triggered fresh negotiations.
The report said: "The wasted cost to the NHS of the contract set-up and bidder costs was £8.9m."
Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office, said: "This contract was innovative and ambitious but ultimately an unsuccessful venture, which failed for financial reasons which could, and should, have been foreseen.
"Limited oversight and a lack of commercial expertise led to problems that quickly became insurmountable."
Meg Hillier, chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, said the report "details an astonishing array of errors" in implementing service changes.
"Despite drafting in specialist expertise from the private sector and the NHS, the assumptions underlying the contract's cost structure were not tested.
"Instead, the contract - which was not remotely ready - was rushed through without due regard for protecting taxpayers' money."
A joint statement from the two organisations behind UnitingCare, the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We believe that the report is balanced and provides clarity on the reasons why the contract ended."
The CCG said: "It is clear that there was a wide disparity between the CCG's contract expectations and UnitingCare's expectations of income.
"The CCG recognises that there were too many outstanding issues at contract signature and that there were also gaps in the procurement advice the CCG has received."
It added there was "much too learn".

The RSPB said volunteers would be at the cathedral with telescopes each weekend throughout June and July.
The peregrines have been nesting at the top of the cathedral for the past 10 years.
The 12 Northern Ireland-based soldiers are on their way to the African country, which has seen widespread elephant killings for their tusks.
Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba requested help in battling the international trade.
Most of the country's elephants have been illegally poached for trade to Asia, leaving the population dwindling.
The elephants inhabit the Minkebe National Park, which has a forest the size of Belgium.
About 15,000 of the forest's 22,000 elephants are said to have been killed by poachers.
The UK soldiers have been drawn from the Royal Scots Borderers, the Rifles and other specialist corps and will work alongside local rangers at a training centre in Mokekou.
"Military input cannot solve this alone, but it can help at the tactical level," said Maj Mark Shercliff.
The ivory trade has been banned since 1989 by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, but a black market is still thriving.
About 30,000 African elephants were killed by poachers last year, according to charity WWF.
The pair had arranged to meet on the border between their countries after exchanging insults on social media. A violent clash was widely expected.
But at the last moment Mr Netanyahu ordered MP Oren Hazan to pull out.
Relations between the two neighbouring countries have been strained since a shooting at the end of July.
On 23 July, an Israeli security guard shot dead two Jordanians near Israel's embassy in Jordan.
One was killed after he attacked the guard with a screwdriver. The second was inadvertently shot dead, Israel says. Jordan has called for the guard to be put on trial.
Mr Hazan - a member of Mr Netanyahu's right-of-centre Likud party - has been described by The Times of Israel as the country's "most unruly lawmaker" and "the enfant terrible of Israel's parliament".
He tweeted on the day of the shooting that Jordanians "who we keep supplied with water and whose butts we defend day and night" required "re-education".
His comments provoked a belligerent response from Jordanian lawmaker Yahya al-Saud, who also has a reputation as a firebrand.
"Let him meet me, if he is a man," Mr Saud said. He went on to call Mr Hazan a "loser" who "without the USA's protection would be defenceless".
The pair arranged to confront each other on Wednesday morning on a bridge crossing that separates the two countries.
But at the last minute, Mr Netanyahu ordered Mr Hazan to withdraw from the engagement. A statement from the prime minister's office did not explain why the order had been given.
Mr Saud turned up at the bridge for the appointment, streaming it on Facebook Live, and later accused his rival of cowardice.
The cancelled duel showed that "cooler heads prevailed", The Times of Israel said.
"It could have gone down in a footnote of history as the Rumble on the Bridge," the paper commented, in a reference to the famous Rumble in the Jungle boxing clash in Kinshasa in 1974 between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman.
The 35-year-old loose-head made his debut for the region in 2004, and has played 164 times for the the Blues.
In addition to his 121 Wales caps, Jenkins has played five Tests for the British and Irish Lions.
"We are very pleased that Gethin has signed to extend his career at Cardiff Blues," said head coach Danny Wilson.
"Gethin is a vastly experienced prop who demands the highest standards from himself and those around him.
"[He] will also be the ideal role model and mentor for the talented young players within our squad and those coming through our system."
Jenkins made his international debut in 2002 and played in the sides that claimed the Six Nations Grand Slam titles in 2005, 2008 and 2012.
His latest Wales appearance came in the 27-23 win over Scotland on Saturday, 13 February when he was a second-half substitute.
Jenkins started his career at Pontypridd before joining the Celtic Warriors when regional rugby was introduced in 2003 and then the Blues following the Warriors' demise.
He has been at the Arms Park ever since, apart from one season in Toulon in 2012-13, when he played in and won the Heineken Cup final.
Morris hopes to announce the recruitment of a top-order batsman "in the not too distant future."
Captain Jacques Rudolph and coach Toby Radford both pointed to the small numbers in the senior squad as a reason for their decline in the Championship.
"It stretched us in the second half of the season," Morris said.
"Quite understandably a number of players didn't have a lot of petrol in the tank at the end of the summer."
Glamorgan won four and drew four in the first half of their four-day campaign, but lost four and drew four in the second half.
"We want to create competition within the squad, we've got some good young players coming through, though some of them are very young," said Morris in his end-of-season review for BBC Wales Sport.
"We want to try and strengthen our seam bowling department, we are actively speaking to people, and we need to create more competition at the top of our batting order.
"we hope to make an announcement in the not-too-distant future."
Fast-bowling all-rounder Craig Meschede is now back on Somerset's books after a year on loan at the SSE Swalec Stadium.
Glamorgan went up from eighth to fourth in the Championship, but missed out on the knockout stages of both T20 and One-Day Cup cricket, the latter campaign being wrecked by a second points deduction for pitch problems.
Morris summed up; "We've made encouraging strides forward. We're not the finished article by a long way. As far as white-ball cricket is concerned I thought we were a bit unlucky, I thought we played really well away from home in Twenty20 cricket but not so well at home."
Captain Jacques Rudolph has spoken of the need to improve the Cardiff pitch for batting, with head groundsman Keith Exton leaving the county after the abandonment of the Hampshire game.
"It's important to try to get the right balance between bat and ball and that's what we always try to produce" was Morris's response.
"It's a good opportunity for Robin Saxton who's been announced as our head groundsman for the next 12 months, he's a very enthusiastic and committed man and he'll be working with the groundstaff to produce the best pitches we can."
Morris says the county is "really pleased" with the staging of England's Test and T20 matches against Australia in 2015.
The men's and women's double-header was sold out, where only 70% sales had been budgeted for.
Cardiff will not host an Ashes Test during the next Australian tour in 2019, while the allocation of games from 2020 onwards has been put on hold.
But with games in the 2017 Champions Trophy and the 2019 World Cup heading to Wales, Morris believes there will be enough high-profile games to boost the county's coffers.
"We've got two global events which we're hosting in Cardiff, which will create a huge international audience which will be great for the club, for Cardiff and for Wales," the former England batsman said.
And that's its conclusion taking an "optimistic" view. The pessimistic conclusion from the report is £1,700 per household.
Where has that come from? The CEP is predicting 1.3% to 2.6% fall in GDP, which is the value of everything produced in the economy, currently about £1.8tn a year. Take 1.3% of that and divide by the 27 million households in the UK and you have your answer.
That's not the same as saying it would cost every household £850. A drop in GDP equivalent to £850 per household would be expected to cut household incomes, but probably not by that much.
So beyond that, is it true? No, almost certainly not - it's a result of economic modelling.
The problem is that any such predictions involve making big assumptions about what would happen in the event of the UK leaving the EU.
The conclusions are extremely sensitive to such assumptions. For example, the losses double if you move from the "optimistic" to "pessimistic" conclusions about what sort of trade deal a post-Brexit UK would reach with the EU.
The losses would be tripled if you moved the trade model from static to dynamic (dynamic models include changes that happen over time such as trade increasing competition or efficiency). In the long run, the report says the losses could get up to between £4,200 and £6,400 per household per year.
The optimistic scenario assumes that the UK reaches a Norway-style deal, which retains full access to the single market, but only predicts a 17% fall in the UK's contribution to the EU Budget (in line with Norway). But nonetheless, trade falls as a result of non-tariff barriers to trade, which are things like rules and quotas that are designed to stop competition from another country's products.
Is that an optimistic view? If you were being really optimistic you could predict that the UK manages to negotiate a fabulous deal that allows full access to the single market without any contributions to the EU Budget. You could also optimistically predict that leaving the EU ushers in a golden age of entrepreneurship and productivity growth, making trade go through the roof.
Similarly, the CEP's pessimistic view is that the UK ends up as just another member of the World Trade Organization, but you could have a really pessimistic view in which the rest of Europe is so cross about the UK leaving that it refuses all deals, deliberately blocks UK products and trade goes through the floor.
So when you look at any economic modelling it's important to look at who is doing it. The CEP is made up of many top-notch, hugely-respected economists from an institution with an excellent reputation. I would have no hesitation in quoting them in a BBC article.
But Vote Leave has pointed out this morning that the CEP is part-funded by the European Commission and in 2000 published a paper by Willem Buiter, who had just left the Bank of England's interest rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee, calling for the UK to adopt the euro.
"These ridiculous claims lack credibility as they come from the same economic sages who said we would better off scrapping the pound," said Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Vote Leave.
Nobody knows what would happen if the UK were to leave the EU, so well-qualified people are trying to guess. There is little reason to believe they are guessing correctly. Predicting things is a thankless task - remember those opinion polls at last year's general election?
Incidentally, this isn't just a point about this particular report. I would say much the same thing about the Civitas study that concluded there was a cost of between £15bn and £40bn to staying in the EU, or the Open Europe model that estimated a cost of Brexit of somewhere between a 2.2% fall in GDP and a 1.6% rise.
If economic modelling should not be guiding your thinking, then why are we covering it?
Because you can bet your last pound or euro that next week somebody supporting staying in the EU will say in a speech that leaving the EU will cost between £850 and £1,700 per household.
And I don't want you to be left wondering where the figure came from.

John McGahan, 71, and Philip Noel Thomson, 64, were charged after a 2012 Police Ombudsman report into the case.
Lt Stephen Kirby was shot by the IRA in February 1979.
In the late 1970s the RUC charged four teenagers with the soldier's murder. They were acquitted of the murder charges and other offences in 1998.
On Monday, the two officers charged with perverting the course of justice, in connection with their case, appeared at the Crown Court in Belfast.
Within minutes of a jury being sworn in, a judge directed the 12 members to find the two former police officers not guilty, after the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) offered no evidence.
In December, the PPS said at the opening of men's trial that it did not intend to offer any evidence against Mr McGahan and Mr Thompson as a result of information it had received from the Police Ombudsmans office.
The PPS said the information was not available to it when a decision to prosecute the two men had been taken.
Responding on Monday to the collapse of the case the four men who were originally charged as teenagers by the RUC, said they had been failed by the PPS.
In a letter to the director of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Barra McGrory QC, they said: "The PPS spent two years reviewing the files and materials before deciding to initiate this prosecution; two more years of our lives where we were forced to sit and wait for institutions of the state to make decisions that profoundly impact on our lives.
"In this two-year period, during which the PPS reviewed, examined, analysed, sought legal advice, sought additional advice, why did the PPS not seek and examine all of the materials relating to this case?
"Why was it left to the 11th hour, once a trial date had been set, for the PPS to finally examine all the materials and then decide not to proceed?"
The theme likely to dominate the political year - the EU - will confront them, almost immediately, in the shape of a statement from the prime minister. They can also expect plenty of discussion of the flooding with a statement to the House.
Elsewhere the Commons ticks over with some serious legislating, a bit of backbench business and some opposition day debates, but the focus may be on internal debate within the Conservatives (on the EU) and within Labour (on the rumoured shadow Cabinet reshuffle).
Here's my rundown of the week ahead.
Tuesday 5 January
MPs return to their Chamber at 2.30pm for Health questions.
Then it's the week's biggest event - the prime minister's statement on the EU summit held just before Christmas, in which he made his pitch for a renegotiation of British membership terms. This could be the opening shot of the referendum campaign (a deal done at the February summit could mean a referendum in June).
The key thing to watch here is the reaction of Tory backbenchers. Hard core "outers" savaged the Europe Minister, David Lidington, when the renegotiation objectives were announced - and can be expected to be tough on their leader; but will he get a rough ride from some unusual suspects? That could portend real trouble ahead.
There will also be a statement on the floods, presumably from the DEFRA Secretary, Liz Truss.
The Labour MP Mike Kane will seek leave to bring in a Ten Minute Rule Bill on Mesothelioma Compensation. This looks like a revival of the bill he introduced last March, just before the election. It would have required a statutory contribution to research into the deadly lung cancer, mesothelioma, from each of the estimated 150 insurance company firms active in the employers' liability insurance market.
After that MPs turn to the detail of the Housing and Planning Bill - report stage. The official Labour amendments from shadow housing minister John Heeley would broaden the purpose of the bill to expanding the supply of all housing, rather than focusing on starter homes, and would call for adequate infrastructure to support them. They also want affordability of starter homes to be defined in relation to local economic conditions, and they want a price cap in London, which could only be changed in consultation with the Mayor.
There are all kinds of amendments from other sources including one from the Lib Dem Leader Tim Farron, which would ensure that new developments include a range of affordable housing options, to rent and buy.
And there's an intriguing alliance of the Conservative former Cabinet minister, Maria Miller and Labour's John Mann. Their new clause would require all starter homes not only to be subject to the statutory regime of building inspection controls, but also to comply with a requirement for site inspection records and a report on compliance, which would be available to home buyers. Mr Mann also has a hand in another amendment (along with Alex Cunningham) to require resilience against flooding to be a consideration in the zoning and design of new housing.
The day ends with an adjournment debate on the future funding for S4C - led by the Welsh Conservative, Simon Hart.
Meanwhile, in Westminster Hall, one of the hard core of "better off out" Tories, Philip Hollobone, will lead a debate from 9.30am to 11am on the renegotiation of UK membership of the EU - an appetiser for events in the Chamber later.
The other mini-debates in Westminster Hall are on: regional theatre (Will Quince) from 11am to 11.30 am; safer neighbourhood policing in London (Karen Buck) 11.30am - 1pm; health effects of air pollution (Paul Flynn) 1pm - 1.30pm and the relationship between the UK and Kazakhstan (Bob Stewart) 1.30pm - 2.30 pm.
Wednesday 6 January
The Commons day opens at 11.30am with Scotland Questions, followed, at noon by Prime Minister's Question Time.
The day's Ten Minute Rule Bill is from the Lib Dem ex-health minister Norman Lamb, who has long called for a process to build a national consensus around the future of the NHS and social care. His bill would establish an independent commission to examine the future of the National Health Service and the social care system.
The day's main debate will be on an Opposition motion - not yet announced, but my guess is flooding and flood defences.
In Westminster Hall the subjects for debate are: child prisoners and detainees in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (Sarah Champion) 9.30am - 11am; assistance to refugees in Calais (Andy Slaughter) 11am - 11.30am; food security (Derek Thomas) 2.30pm - 4pm; broadband speeds in Northern Ireland (Margaret Ritchie) at 4pm - 4.30pm and healthcare in the Yarl's Wood immigration detention centre (Kate Osamor) 4.30pm - 5.30pm.
Thursday 7 January
The Commons action begins at 9.30am with Energy and Climate Change questions, followed by the weekly Business Statement, announcing forthcoming Commons debates, from the Leader of the House. Will he announce a vote on Trident renewal?
Then MPs turn to two debates on subjects chosen by the Backbench Business Committee. The first is on the effect of the equalisation of the state pension age on women - raising concerns that the acceleration of equalisation directly discriminates against women born on or after 6 April 1951 and gives them only a few years to make alternative arrangements. The motion calls for the government to bring in transitional arrangements. The SNP's Mhairi Black leads the debate.
The second debate is on children in care - calling for the government to take steps to help reduce the number of children entering the care system by bringing forward measures to support more children to remain safely at home with their family or extended family. Lucy Allan and Alan Johnson lead.
In Westminster Hall (1.30pm) the subject for debate is the Armed Forces Covenant Annual Report 2015 - which details the government's efforts to deliver a better deal for service personnel on issues like health education and getting on the property ladder. Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Tom Tugendhat and Johnny Mercer lead the debate.
The Commons will not be sitting on Friday.
The Most Reverend Justin Welby, also condemned the treatment of Christian communities in the Middle East.
"They are driven into exile from a region in which their presence has always been essential," he will say.
The Archbishop of Westminster also talked about the plight of Christians who are persecuted for their faith.
Archbishop Welby, who was enthroned in March, spoke at morning service in Canterbury Cathedral.
He said: "Christians are attacked and massacred and we see terrible news in South Sudan, where political ambitions have led towards ethnic conflict. On Saturday I was speaking to a bishop under siege, in a compound full of the dying."
By Robert PigottReligious affairs correspondent, BBC News
Oppression and poverty have preoccupied Christian leaders this Christmas, and the Archbishop of Canterbury has made an explicit link between them.
Justin Welby said the persecution of Christian minorities overseas and destitution at home each represented a form of injustice.
The message is that suffering does not lie only in the visible form of oppression and violence, but is also hidden in private destitution.
Archbishop of York John Sentamu followed his passionate condemnation of malnutrition and inadequate housing, by warning that it rendered people invisible and voiceless.
It comes at the end of a year in which the new leaders of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England have frequently inveighed against a capitalist system they believe is too indifferent to the plight of the poorest people.
Both Pope and Archbishop are determined that Christianity should be seen as a champion of the poor and persecuted alike.
The Archbishop challenged "the causes of poverty".
The former oil company executive - who this year launched a campaign against payday lending firms - referred to "injustices at home... even in a recovering economy".
He added: "Christians, the servants of a vulnerable and poor saviour, need to act to serve and love the poor, they need also to challenge the causes of poverty."
The Archbishop of Canterbury also posted a brief Christmas video message on the photo-sharing website Instagram and tweeted a link to the clip through his Twitter account.
He said: "Christmas means that, through Jesus, God shows unconditionally that he loves us. I pray that he gives you a very blessed Christmas."
Lambeth Palace said the video message was part of a Church of England campaign which aims to encourage congregations and clergy to let people know what they see as the "joy and meaning of Christmas".
It urges Anglicans across the world to complete the sentence: "Christmas means..." and send their message through Twitter.
Archbishop Vincent Nichols, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, in his address, said many Christians, especially in the Middle East, were risking their lives to worship.
Speaking at Christmas midnight Mass in Westminster Cathedral, Archbishop Nichols told the congregation to give "a special thought and prayer" to those Christians.
"Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria," he said.
During his speech, Archbishop Nichols cited similar concerns voiced by the Prince of Wales this month during a visit to the Coptic and Syrian Orthodox communities in Hertfordshire and London.
"As Prince Charles said last week: 'Christianity was literally born in the Middle East and we must not forget our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters'," he said.
"We come to this Cathedral this evening freely and relatively easily, ready to give a simple act of witness to our faith," he said.
"But for many, going to church is an act of life-risking bravery. We thank them and seek to be inspired by their courageous faith."
Meanwhile, in his Christmas message, the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, described poverty as a stain on the conscience of the nation.
He added the Church still has a big influence on today's society and said an estimated 15 million people in England would attend services on Christmas Day.
But he said he would have "no problem" playing against Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir, who served a five-year ban for the lesser crime of spot-fixing and is set to tour England this summer.
"Amir has served his time," said Cook, 31. "If you get caught match-fixing you should be banned for life."
England face Sri Lanka in the third Test at Lord's starting on Thursday.
Left-arm pace bowler Amir, 24, was jailed for three months for his part in a spot-fixing scam against England at Lord's in 2010 which also involved team-mates Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif.
Amir has been named in Pakistan's squad for the four-Test series starting on 14 July, although he is waiting to find out if he will be granted a UK visa.
"It's kind of ironic that his first Test match back will probably be here at Lord's," said Cook.
"He was punished for what he did, and quite rightly so because we've got to protect the integrity of the game.
"That's not to say Amir should not come back, because the rules were probably different then."
Cook confirmed that England will be unchanged for the final Test against Sri Lanka after convincing wins at Headingley and Chester-le-Street, meaning all-rounder Chris Woakes keeps his place ahead of uncapped seamer Jake Ball.

The idea is controversial as prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing can be unreliable, throwing up false positive results that can cause undue worry and even treatment over something benign.
Swedish researchers say checking every man aged 45-49 would predict nearly half of all prostate cancer deaths.
Their findings, in The BMJ, come from a study of more than 21,000 men.
There is no routine screening programme for prostate cancer in the UK.
Men over 50 can request a free PSA test on the NHS if they wish.
A recent prostate cancer screening trial in Europe, ERSPC, showed that screening reduced mortality by 20%. However, this was associated with a high level of "over treatment". To save one life, 48 additional cases of prostate cancer needed to be treated.
In 2010, when the UK National Screening Committee in England last reviewed the issue, it again decided screening should not be introduced.
But Prof Hans Lilia and colleagues from Lund University in Sweden and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in the US say there could be a strong case for routine PSA testing and that men in their late-40s are prime candidates.
Source: Cancer Research UK
They looked back at a study carried out between 1974 and 1984 involving 21,277 Swedish men aged 27-52. All the men had donated blood samples at the start of the study. The researchers used these stored samples to run PSA tests.
Armed with the results, they then checked to see if the PSA reading predicted what had happened to the men in terms of clinical outcomes - ie had those with high/positive PSA results gone on to develop prostate cancer.
A high PSA was linked with an increased risk of prostate cancer.
The researchers then checked the results to see if there was a best age at which men should be screened.
Screening too young - below 45 years of age - detected too few deadly cancers.
And delaying screening until after a man's 50th birthday missed too many.
Screening men at the age of 45-49, however, spotted nearly half (44%) of the cancers that went on to be deadly.
In the study, 1,369 of the men had prostate cancer, 241 had advanced disease and 162 died from it.
They say all men should be offered a PSA test in their mid-to-late 40s. Those with a high result would return for frequent screening and checks (and treatment if necessary), while those with normal results could wait until their early 50s for their next PSA test.
"At least half of all men can be identified as being at low risk and probably need no more than three PSA tests in a lifetime," they say in the British Medical Journal.
"This is likely to reduce the risk of over-diagnosis while still enabling early cancer detection among those most likely to gain from early diagnosis," they say.
Dr Anne Mackie, Director of NHS Screening Programmes at Public Health England, said they reviewed evidence for screening on a three-yearly basis to make sure that the programmes offered by the NHS are based on the best and most up-to-date information available.
She said they would consider the findings of the BMJ study.
"We are currently in the process of a scheduled review for a screening programme for prostate cancer and will make a recommendation towards the end of 2013," she said.
The Prostate Cancer UK said more research efforts should be channelled into finding a better screening test for the disease.
Ms Kagezi was targeted on her way home by motorbike gunmen, officials say.
The trial of the men, accused of links to the 2010 Kampala suicide bombing which killed 76 people, has been suspended.
Last week, the US embassy in Uganda warned of a possible "terrorist" attack.
Ms Kagezi, the senior principal state attorney, headed the directorate of public prosecution's anti-terrorism and war crimes division.
Kampala police spokesman Patrick Onyango said: "They were trailing her on a motorcycle... They shot her dead."
Ms Kagezi was taken to the main hospital in the capital but died on the way.
Her children were with her in the car but weren't harmed in the shooting, according to a statement by the Ugandan Information Minister Jim Muhwezi in the Daily Monitor.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in Kampala says some Ugandans are now wondering whether Ms Kagezi was given enough protection.
Our correspondent says there is now an increased presence of policemen and soldiers on the streets of the Ugandan capital.
Last week the US said it had "received information of possible threats" at city locations where Western nationals gather.
Uganda's government said the US had warned of a possible suicide bomber trying to enter the country.
Uganda was under threat because it is a key contributor to the African Union mission fighting al-Shabab inside Somalia, a spokesman said.
McLaren has adorned its cars with #BillyWhizz stickers for the Russian Grand Prix, which begins on Friday,
It is understood other teams will be joining McLaren in a show of solidarity for Billy.
The 17-year-old from Charlwood, Surrey, hit the back of another car on 16 April and had to be airlifted to hospital.
Woking-based McLaren said it had consistently showed its support for Billy over the last fortnight. It "felt this gesture was appropriate", and added given the sense of communality in Formula 1, it was no surprise the other teams were rallying round in a similar way.
Williams Racing confirmed it would be putting on a similar display, and is also auctioning off a race suit worn by Felipe Massa and signed race boots worn by Lance Stroll.
So far the items have raised £2,600 on ebay, and this money is being donated to a Just Giving page set up by Steven Hunter, head of Billy's team, Derbyshire-based JHR Developments. It will help support the teenager through his life-changing injuries.
More than £760,000 has been donated so far following the crash during the Formula 4 British Championship at Donington Park in Leicestershire.
Formula 1 driver Jenson Button and F1 driver Max Verstappen have both donated £15,000, while Billy's F4 former rival Devlin DeFrancesco gave £26,000.
The Russian Grand Prix begins on Friday with practice sessions, before qualifying on Saturday and race day on Sunday.
The fragment, said to be the inboard section of the right, outboard flap of the plane, was recovered in June.
MH370, flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, had 239 people on board when it vanished in March 2014.
The Boeing 777 is presumed to have crashed into the southern Indian Ocean after veering off course.
The piece is now being examined for any evidence that may indicate how the flap was operating at the time of separation from the wing, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said in a report.
This could help throw light on whether the plane was being flown when it came down in the sea.
The part numbers and a date stamp on the piece, recovered on Pemba island, helped the investigation.
In addition to the Boeing part number, the report said, the identification stamps had an "OL" number, both unique identifiers to part construction.
The Italian part manufacturer then recovered build records for those numbers, confirming that they belonged to the missing plane.
Very slowly, the clues are piling up. All these pieces that keep washing ashore could eventually help to build a picture of the plane's final moments.
Scroll down the Australian investigators' report and you find this, important paragraph:
"At the time of writing, the flap section was being examined for any evidence of interaction with mechanisms, supports and surrounding components (such as the flaperon, which abuts the inboard end of the outboard flap) that may indicate the state of flap operation at the time of separation from the wing."
In plain English, it means that this piece MIGHT just help them work out if the flaps were extended when the plane hit the water. If they were, it COULD indicate that the aircraft was being flown by someone at the end. Flaps never extend automatically. So that starts to suggest a deliberate act.
Equally, if the flaps weren't extended, it points more to an accident. To be clear though, none of this will give anything close to definitive answer. It's just a little clue as to what happened.
A number of other pieces of debris, some confirmed to have come from MH370, have been found in recent months off the coast of neighbouring Mozambique and Madagascar.
They include a section of the wing called a flaperon, found on Reunion Island, and a horizontal stabilizer from the tail section and a stabilizer panel with a "No Step" stencil discovered in Mozambique.
All the debris are believed to have been driven westwards from the presumed crash site on ocean currents.
Australia has been leading the search for the missing aircraft, using underwater drones and sonar equipment deployed from specialist ships.
The search, also involving Malaysia and China, has led to more than 105,000 sq km (40,500 sq miles) of the 120,000 sq km search zone being scoured so far.
But countries have agreed that in the absence of "credible new information" the search is expected to end later this year.
Meanwhile, state school pupils have too few opportunities to forge careers in the arts, Sir Peter Bazalgette said.
"I personally don't see why all the male actors getting Baftas should come from Eton," he told Sheffield Doc/Fest.
"Good for them, and great actors, but why should they all come from Eton?"
Eton has produced actors including Damian Lewis, Dominic West, Tom Hiddleston, Eddie Redmayne and Harry Lloyd.
Other private school graduates include Benedict Cumberbatch, who went to Harrow; Hugh Bonneville, who attended Sherborne; and Rory Kinnear, who studied at St Paul's.
Chiwetel Ejiofor, who won this year's best film actor Bafta for 12 Years A Slave, went to the fee-paying Dulwich College - some years after Sir Peter attended the school.
Sir Peter made his name as a TV producer, is president of the Royal Television Society and became Arts Council England chairman last year.
"Seven per cent of the population go to private schools, and in those private schools they get an absolutely, crackingly good education in the performing and visual arts," Sir Peter said.
"Ninety-three per cent don't go to those private schools and, in some state schools, people get a wonderful education in visual and performing arts as well. But in quite a lot of them they don't.
"Visual performing arts have been marginalised in some areas in the curriculum as the curriculum becomes more instrumentalist and focused on what's known as the Stem agenda - science, technology, engineering and maths.
"If there is one message, we say Steam, not Stem - put the 'a' for arts in."
He pointed to British talents including London 2012 Olympic cauldron designer Thomas Hetherwick, Apple creative guru Jonathan Ive and vacuum pioneer James Dyson as proof that people need "a combination of creative flair and technological ability".
His comments follow concerns from Dame Helen Mirren, who recently warned that acting was becoming the "prerogative only of kids who have money".
And Shakespeare's Globe artistic director Dominic Dromgoole told the BBC last year: "It's becoming harder for children and young actors without means to get into drama school and I think that's an enormous shame."
The musician had gone to a US court, seeking to regain the rights to 267 of the band's classic tracks.
He has been trying to get them back since the 1980s, when Michael Jackson famously out-bid him for the rights.
Jackson's debt-ridden estate sold the songs to Sony last year, along with others including New York, New York.
Sir Paul's legal case, filed in a Manhattan court in January, was over what is known as copyright termination - the right of authors to reclaim ownership of their works from music publishers after a specific length of time has passed.
He claimed that he was set to reacquire the Beatles songs in 2018, but said Sony had not confirmed that it would transfer the copyrights to him.
"The parties have resolved this matter by entering into a confidential settlement agreement," Sir Paul's attorney Michael Jacobs wrote in a letter to US District Judge Edgardo Ramos.

But to do that he needs to encourage more people in the suburbs to take to two wheels.
At the moment, for an example, in Enfield only 0.5% of journeys are done by bike and the ambition is to increase this to 5%.
There is much more emphasis on using cars to get around.
What the mayor and his transport commissioner are doing is focusing money on "three mini Hollands" - three boroughs where Transport for London (TfL) fund council improvements to cycling.
Previously TfL spending in outer London on cycling was £3m, but it will now rise to £100m. Of that there will be £30m each for Kingston, Enfield and Waltham Forest.
But there is opposition.
Take Enfield in north London.
In Enfield Town they want to close Church Street to all traffic apart from buses and bikes.
They also want to create a network of segregated cycle lanes and a much nicer environment for pedestrians.
The argument is it will regenerate the town centre.
TfL and Enfield say these improvements will benefit business and they claim there is evidence funding cycling infrastructure increases turnover.
Some traders though remain completely unconvinced and believe their businesses are intrinsically linked to cars.
They do not want to change the status quo although they are adamant they are not anti-cycling.
Those who live on nearby roads also have concerns the traffic which currently uses the high street will be diverted onto their residential roads.
Enfield Council says it is listening and will change its plans after a consultation.
The reality is City Hall says it could withdraw the £30m if the plans are not up to scratch.
There are various consultations now going on.
If changes are to succeed there is certainly a battle for the hearts and minds of some in Enfield and the suburbs who have no connection at all with cycling and Mr Johnson's cycling revolution - and frankly at the moment don't want it. | Crowds have gathered on the Seaburn and Roker seafront for the Sunderland International Airshow.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is closing a total of five coastguard stations.
The new national rescue centre will be run alongside nine other 24-hour centres around the UK.
The changes have been criticised by some workers, users and politicians but the MCA said people "won't notice any difference to the way search and rescue missions are responded to".
Peter Davies, who was manager at Brixham coastguard station and has taken up a new role at Segensworth, said: "This new state-of-the-art network will ensure that we are better prepared and will improve how we manage the workload.
"I'd also like to thank the staff at Brixham coastguard, who have served the community with the utmost professionalism over many years.
"I am pleased that some are staying with the coastguard and have relocated to roles elsewhere."
The Indomitable Lionesses are one of seven teams desperate to deny Nigeria another African title.
The Super Falcons are the dominant force on the continent, having been crowned African champions seven times.
On the two occasions that they misfired, Equatorial Guinea took the honours.
Florence Omagbemi's side are not exactly hot favourites this time around but they are warm enough to suggest it would be an upset if it went the other way.
As captain of the Super Falcons, Omagbemi won the African title four times but this is her first tournament as coach.
"Yes, it's my first tournament as a coach but my experience as a player has prepared me for this. Teams want to beat Nigeria, we will work extra hard to retain the title," Omagbemi told BBC Sport on the eve of the 10th edition of the continental championship.
Apart from Nigeria, only South Africa and Cameroon have appeared at every tournament since the event began in 1998 as the African Women's Championship.
After finishing third in 2012 and runners-up in 2014, the hosts have set their sights on winning the big prize on home soil.
They have been boosted by the return from injury of the reigning African Women's Player of the Year, Gaelle Enganamouit.
The presence of South Africa and Zimbabwe in their group - two teams that played at the Olympic Games in Rio - compels the hosts to be on their toes in each match lest they find themselves struggling to qualify for the next stage.
But coach Enow Ngachu is unmoved: "Our objective is to lift the trophy and we have what it takes to win. We have faith and conviction that we can win."
Despite enormous resources at their disposal, South Africa have delivered very little over the years and are hungry for something more tangible in Cameroon.
Banyana Banyana have been runners-up three times (2000, 2008 and 2012).
They have an interim coach in Desiree Ellis, the former captain who was appointed following the departure of Dutchwoman and Fifa Best Women's Coach nominee Vera Pauw.
"I don't like the word 'interim' so I'm aiming to do well so that the South Africa Football Association will have no choice but to give us (the technical team) the job full time."
As usual, the eight teams have been split into two groups based in the capital Yaounde and the coastal town of Limbe.
Group A: Cameroon, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Egypt
Group B: Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Mali
The assailant fired at least three shots outside the court, eyewitnesses said. Mr Dundar escaped unharmed but a reporter was reportedly injured.
Police say they have arrested the suspected gunman.
Erdem Gul, a former colleague of Mr Dundar who is also on trial, said the attacker shouted "traitor" as he fired.
Mr Dundar, a former newspaper editor, was briefing reporters outside the courthouse when the incident occurred.
He is standing trial alongside Mr Gul over a series of reports in Cumhuriyet newspaper that alleged Turkish intelligence operatives were transporting weapons to Syria in early 2014.
Both journalists face life in prison if convicted.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has faced international criticism over the decision to prosecute the two journalists.
They are among a number of journalists and human rights activists who have been detained or prosecuted in Turkey in recent months.
The court's decision came after a dispute in Sweden between journalists and a web company that had posted links on its site to online news articles.
A Swedish court had asked the EU court to consider whether this broke copyright law.
The "position would be different" for links that bypass a paywall.
The journalists worked for the Swedish newspaper Goteborgs-Posten and had articles published on the paper's website.
The company Retriever Sverige runs a website that provides links to articles published by other websites.
The journalists argued in the original case that users of Retriever Sverige's website would not know that they had been sent to another website by clicking on the links and therefore had made their articles available without authorisation. They said that because of this they were due compensation.
The case was unsuccessful in the Swedish courts but there was an appeal and the appeal court asked the EU Court of Justice to consider whether copyright law had been broken.
The court had to consider whether by providing links Retriever Sverige had taken part in an "act of communication to the public". Under EU copyright law, authors have the exclusive right to authorise or prohibit any communication to the public of their works.
The court ruled that the law had not been broken because the articles in question were on Goteborgs-Posten's website and therefore already "freely available".
In a statement it said: "The owner of a website may, without the authorisation of the copyright holders, redirect internet users, via hyperlinks, to protected works available on a freely accessible basis on another site."
But they ruled that the "position would be different" if a link led users to material that had purposely been restricted from being freely available - for example if it had been posted on a site that operates a paywall.
"If the decision had gone the other way it would have broken the internet," said Susan Hall, technology lawyer at Clarke Willmott.
"The way we communicate online is predicated on sharing material, whether that's links to Robert Peston on Bank of England interest rates, decisions of the European court or pictures of otters who look like Benedict Cumberbatch," she said.
Goteborgs-Posten told the BBC that it was making no comment on the ruling.
Jamar Clark, 24, had been on life support in hospital since the shooting on Sunday morning.
Police say that he was the suspect in an assault case and was interfering with medics who were working on the victim when he was he was shot.
Protesters have camped outside the police station for two days, and blocked a major highway on Monday.
That demonstration led to the arrest of 51 protesters on Monday night.
Police have released few details about the shooting of Clark - who some say was handcuffed when he was shot. Police have denied that claim.
Monday night's demonstrations came after the mayor's decision to ask the federal government to launch a civil rights investigation.
Mayor Betsy Hodges said she was asking for the investigation in the "interest of transparency and community confidence".
While a state agency has already launched a criminal investigation, the mayor said that the city needs "all the tools we have available to us".
Two officers involved in the shooting are on paid leave - which is standard procedure after incidents such as this.
The police chief has said that the officers were not wearing body cameras, but would not say whether the squad car or other surveillance video captured the incident.
Protesters have welcomed the federal investigation, but have vowed to continue demonstrating until any video of the situation is released and the officers involved are identified.
The protests began on Sunday and included an overnight encampment at a Minneapolis police station near the scene of the shooting.
At least eight tents were seen at the campsite on Monday, and a few protesters were sitting inside the glass doors of the station - including one who was knitting.
"We're still not moving until we get that footage," said Michael McDowell, a demonstrator with the Black Lives Matter movement.
According to police, the incident began early on Sunday when police were called to north Minneapolis following the report of an assault.
At the scene, police found Clark interfering with paramedics who were attempting to help the victim. They attempted to calm him, which resulted in a struggle and a shot being fired, police said.
His father told the Associated Press news agency that his son suffered a single gunshot wound over his left eye.
His brother told the AP that family members assembled at the hospital on Monday night to take Clark off of life support.
A number of high-profile police shootings of black people have sparked protests nationwide about the police use of excessive force against African Americans.
The beer - Allsopp's Arctic Ale - was brewed in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, for an expedition led by Sir George Nares in 1875.
The unopened bottle was discovered in a box in a garage in Gobowen, Shropshire, but auctioneers said it was a mystery as to how it got there.
The bottle is expected to fetch up to £600 when it is auctioned on 13 June.
Auctioneers Trevanion and Dean, in Whitchurch, described it as "very special".
Aaron Dean, a partner at the auctioneers, said: "The beer was brewed for an expedition to the north pole which, unfortunately, didn't get there.
"It was made to a certain recipe, so it lasted, and it was slightly medicinal.
"It went all the way to Portsmouth and it was loaded on to the ship as cargo, to go out with the HMS Alert and HMS Discovery.
"Unfortunately, the expedition didn't quite make it to the north pole, so it came all the way back again."
Mr Dean said he was "not sure" how the beer had ended up in the garage.
"It came from the vendor's father but where he got it from, we are still investigating.
"It's a curio, it's a historical object."
He said he had researched what the beer would taste like.
"A similar bottle has been opened previously and was described as 'sweet tasting with a hint of tobacco'," he said.
Yusuke Katayama played a game of cat and mouse with the authorities, leading them to make numerous wrongful arrests.
He threatened a massacre at a comic book event, as well as to attack a school attended by the grandchildren of Japan's Emperor Akihito.
Katayama's campaign highlighted the difficulties the country's police force has had in dealing with cyber crime.
"He committed the crime, and the purpose of it was [for police] to make wrongful arrests," said presiding judge Katsunori Ohno at Tokyo District Court, adding that Katayama's actions had been "vicious".
Throughout 2012, the 32-year-old used a virus to gain control of strangers' computers. He then issued threats - which appeared to come from the computer's owner - and a series of riddles that captured the attention of the national media.
Among the other threats made by Katayama - who went by the alias Demon Killer - was one to attack a plane.
The case highlighted the Japanese police's tendency to extract confessions from suspects, as four people owned up to crimes which the National Police Agency (NPA) later admitted they did not commit.
Computers belonging to each had been infected with a Trojan Horse virus, introduced via a link on the popular Japanese chat forum 2channel.
The NPA's chief apologised, acknowledging his force had been tricked by the hacker, and promising his cyber crime unit would improve.
Police held one falsely suspected person for several weeks before media and a cyber crime expert received anonymous messages containing information that investigators conceded could only have been known by the real culprit.
Katayama had taunted police in emails that sent them all over Japan.
In one message, investigators were told to go to Enoshima, an island off Tokyo, and to look for a cat that turned out to be wearing a collar on which was a memory card.
The card held details of the code and malicious program he had used to gain remote control of victim's computers.
In December 2012, the police offered a 3m yen (£16,822) reward for information leading to the arrest of the culprit.
But it was the cat that led police to arrest Katayama in February 2013, who was seen on CCTV footage with the animal.
Dr Julie-Ann Maney was giving evidence at the trial of west Belfast man Christopher O'Neill, who denies murdering his baby daughter Cárágh .
Three-month-old Cárágh Walsh died on 7 February 2014.
She died two days after being taken to hospital from her Glasveigh Park home in Twinbrook.
Dr Maney was giving evidence on the second day of the trial at Craigavon Crown Court, sitting in Armagh, of Mr O'Neill, 26, from Whiterock Road.
It was suggested to the jury on the opening day of the trial by a prosecution counsel that a reason for the baby's death was that "perhaps he, ( Mr O'Neill) had snapped because she was crying and he could not get her to settle, only he knows that''.
The lawyer said it was not suggested that Mr O'Neill intended to kill his baby daughter, but that being unable to quieten her, he "must have lost self-control and that he caused those catalogue of injuries identified by the pathologists".
Dr Maney told the trial on Wednesday that on 5 February, 2014, the hospital received a call to the red "emergency telephone'' on the paediatric ward advising that a paramedic crew was on its way with a three-month-old baby girl who was in cardiac arrest.
When the ambulance arrived at the hospital doors, it was met by Dr Maney and her team who rushed baby Cárágh in for emergency treatment.
Dr Maney told the jury: "At this point we took over her airways. She had agonising breathing. Her breathing was not sufficient to sustain her life.
"She needed assisted breathing. She had no heart rate. She was effectively dead.''
The consultant paediatrician said that as a result "time was of the essence'' and her team of experts set about trying to save the baby's life.
The doctor told the trial judge that a needle was inserted into the infant's bloodstream through the bone marrow in her shin bone with "life saving medication to restart her heart''.
"At 12.43pm her heart was resuscitated. We started to feel pulses in her groin. We listened to her heart. She had heart sounds and the chest compressions were discontinued. Her cardiovascular system was responding."
Asked by the prosecution counsel if baby Cárágh was stablised at that stage, Dr Maney replied: "I would say her rate had come back.
"We had taken over her breathing but she was still gravely ill. We needed to support her breathing and give her constant care and support on a life-support machine. An anaesthetist inserted a tube from her mouth to her lungs.''
Earlier, emergency medical technician Paul McParland told the jury how on 5 February, 2014, he received an emergency call to go to Glasveigh Park as an infant had taken ill.
He said that he was about to climb the steps to the second floor flat when he was met by a colleague, Mr Heaney, who was carrying baby Cárágh out in his arms.
Mr McParland said that as he made his way back to the ambulance he was "met by a considerably highly emotional woman who tried to run towards Mr Heaney and I blocked her path''. He added that he did not know at the time that it was the baby's mother.
The court heard from the witness that the baby's father then got into the ambulance and the seriously ill baby was rushed to the Royal Victoria Hospital, arriving within five to seven minutes.
Under cross examination by a defence counsel, Mr McParland confirmed to the jury that he did not notice any marks or swelling on the baby when he attached a defibrillator to her body.
At hearing.
Officers found Anna Marie Marshall, 44, of no fixed abode, walking the bird in Parliament Street in York on 28 June.
She was due to appear at York Magistrates' Court charged with animal cruelty offences and using abusive and threatening behaviour. An arrest warrant has been issued.

A drab first half ended in a rare moment of quality as Vokes got across Jason Denayer to head Tendayi Darikwa's excellent cross into the far corner.
Sunderland created little in response before substitute Gray made sure of the result late on with a low strike.
In round four, Burnley are at home to Bristol City, who won at Fleetwood.
Follow all the reaction from Tuesday's FA Cup ties
Despite making seven changes from the side who beat Southampton in the Premier League at the weekend, the hosts seemed more interested in extending their FA Cup run in the early stages.
George Boyd and Joey Barton forced Sunderland's Vito Mannone into two fine saves in quick succession, before Boyd saw a powerful left-footed drive tipped narrowly over by the Italian keeper moments later.
Midfielder Steven Defour was central to everything Sean Dyche's side tried in attack, as well as providing plenty of cover to the back four - albeit against a blunted Sunderland attack.
Although Vokes' goal just before the interval seemed more than enough to see off Sunderland, the hosts did not settle, sending on Gray inside the final 15 minutes.
Having tormented the Black Cats here with a rapid hat-trick in a 4-1 hammering on New Year's Eve, Gray was a handful once again, collecting Vokes' knock down from a long-ball forward and easily rolling Papy Djilobodji to shoot under Mannone on 83 minutes.
With Burnley sitting 10th in the Premier League, 10 points clear of the relegation zone, and with Championship side Bristol City arriving on 28 January, the Clarets may sense a great opportunity to go beyond their fourth-round defeat by Arsenal last season.
Tottenham and Chelsea have shown their fellow Premier League sides how to play with three at the back this season, but Sunderland's interpretation of that formation was severely lacking at Turf Moor.
A central back three of Denayer, Djilobodji and Billy Jones looked unnecessary at times with Burnley only playing Vokes up front, yet they failed to deal with his threat when it mattered most.
The Wales striker easily got in front of his marker Denayer to score the opening goal - his fine glancing header into the far corner a fitting finish to right-back Darikwa's brilliant curling delivery.
Elsewhere, Sunderland's five-man midfield successfully swamped Barton and Defour at times but with the main effect of just cancelling out their opponents instead of threatening Nick Pope in the Burnley goal.
Sebastian Larsson came closest for the visitors, firstly with a curling lob from 25 yards out just after the interval nearly creeping in over a stranded Pope, before the Burnley keeper made a fine diving save to deny the Swedish midfielder in injury time.
Striker Jermain Defoe could not fashion a chance in the half-hour run out he was afforded, with Sunderland's thoughts seemingly very much focused on Premier League survival.

Shelley Corrigan, 28, has a first class honours in bio-medical engineering.
Despite the qualification, getting through a job interview was Shelley's biggest challenge.
She said living with the condition means she faces a number of issues when faced with an interview.
According to Shelley, there are times when she is extremely anxious, shy and has problems communicating.
"I always found the interview process difficult. While everything looks good on paper and on your CV when I was going through an interview I struggled cause I couldn't get the words out," she said.
Ms Corrigan is one of about 50 adults who have benefited from the support of Specialisterne NI, a specialist recruitment and training consultancy that places and supports people with autism.
Specialisterne is a not-for-profit company that works alongside both the employer and the employee helping to break down the barriers associated with autism.
Jonny McBride said as well as helping people get jobs they are currently working with about 400 employers.
"Clearly, it's difficult to work with people who are on the spectrum so we advise employers about the difficulties around making eye contact, communication skills and just dealing with lots of people in a workplace," he said.
"It's very important that both parties understand each other because we want to make sure that the relationship works for both."
Shelley has been working for Tascomi, a software development company in Hillsborough, since 2015. .
"I wasn't able to talk in front of or out loud to people until my late teens. I struggled with eye contact and I was very fidgety," she said.
"I always came home crying from school if there were social events I had to go to, because I just knew I couldn't communicate the way I wanted to.
"While everything was in my head I couldn't get the words out. Also, sometimes people would smirk or just make me feel uncomfortable."
Shelley said getting help with interviews and just being supported prior to and after interviews helped enormously.
"Everyone is a lot more accommodating to my needs. As a result of getting the job, I feel valued, independent and I now socialise. It's great, I love working here," she said.
Richard Martin is the managing director of Tascomi.
The company has a workforce of 40 people - two of whom are on the autism spectrum.
"We were more than happy to work with Specialisterne and tap into this pool of very talented people who are highly-skilled and benefit our company," he said.
"With Shelley we just gave her extra time in the interview to talk to us. We were aware of not making eye contact, of not asking too many indirect questions. Instead you need to be quite literal.
"Sometimes it is just about knowing in advance, knowing the parameters. Interviews are very tough and you want to help people to be able to go that extra mile."
Despite many initiatives to improve the number of people with disabilities in work, the employment rate of those with autism remains relatively low.
The National Autistic Society claims about 16% of adults in the UK with autism are currently in full-time jobs.
It is not known how many adults in Northern Ireland have autism or to what extent those in the workforce are on the autism spectrum.
Shelley says her confidence has been boosted and most importantly she is extremely happy.
"I am really happy because I have found a job that I love. I meet and socialise with lovely people. Before, I felt trapped. I am even running marathons now."
The country's international creditors made the new proposal so that it could avoid defaulting on its debt - providing it agreed to reforms.
The proposal would have released €15.5bn ($17.3bn) of funding, €1.8bn of which would have been available now.
A statement from the Greek government said it "cannot be accepted".
"The creditors' proposal to the Greek government would require introducing deeply recessionary reforms as a condition for the funding, which is totally inadequate, over the five months period," said the statement.
Greece and its creditors have been deadlocked despite the 30 June deadline for repayment of an IMF loan looming.
Greek PM Alexis Tsipras has called a meeting of the Greek government tonight to discuss the situation.
Earlier, he accused the lenders of blackmail, saying: "Europe's principles are not based on blackmail and ultimatums," he said. "In these crucial hours, nobody has the right to put these principles at risk."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, however, had urged Athens to accept what she called an "extraordinarily generous" offer.
The money is not new, but rather from existing bailout funds, and is still to be discussed by eurozone finance ministers, who are meeting on Saturday.
The president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, said he was "optimistic, but not over-optimistic" about the chances of a deal.
"This is about the Greek people, not the government," he said. "Tomorrow's meeting will try to bring the positions together... There was no ultimatum. We are not running business by announcing ultimata."
The protracted negotiations have stalled over what reforms Athens is prepared to take, with disputes emerging on pensions and increasing Value Added Tax.
An official from one of the creditors told Associated Press that after the latest offer "the difference [between both sides] now is very, very small".
The Greek government has put forward budget proposals that it says meet the targets demanded by its creditors.
Mr Tsipras is returning to Athens to hold emergency talks with his government. Any deal must be passed by the Greek parliament.
If Greece does default, it could exit the eurozone, with possible repercussions for the rest of Europe and the world economy.
Only once agreement is reached will the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) unlock the final €7.2bn tranche of bailout funds for cash-strapped Greece.

Of some 1.7 million journeys made across the entire rail network during this week last year, more than 337,000 were made on 16-25 Railcards - 13% higher than the usual weekly average.
And for railcard journeys originating in university towns, the figure was 28% higher than the usual weekly average.
The only busier period was Christmas.
The five top cities from which 16- to 25-year-olds were travelling in the third working week of October last year were:
With freshers' week already a blurred memory and the workload starting to build, many decide it is time to head home, the data suggests.
"It's interesting to see such a clear spike in Railcard journeys in October," said Andrew Robertson, of Atoc.
"Going to university for the first time can be an exciting but daunting experience for young adults. And our research indicates that for many, the reality of living away from parents can really kick in after just a few weeks."
Mr Robertson suggested that budget constraints, a lack of home-cooked food or maybe even running out of clean clothes could spark a yearning in students for the comfort of their teenage bedroom.
"A trip home seems to be just what students need to recharge the batteries after a few hectic weeks at university," he said.
Chelsea's net outlay amounted to £38m - the fourth-highest in the Premier League - but Nathaniel Chalobah's move to Napoli took the number of Blues players out on loan to 33.
The club are not breaking any rules, and it is a pattern repeated across Europe, with Juventus reportedly owning an additional 58 players not in their first-team squad.
Chelsea's tally could rise even further with the emergency loan window - which opens on Wednesday - giving Football League clubs the chance to sign players for between 28 and 93 days.
Clubs can only register a squad of 25 players for the Premier League - and some have been accused of "abusing" the system by stockpiling talent to the detriment of rivals and the players themselves.
So why does a club recruit players in this way and what are the consequences?
Clubs might not like this analogy, but it can help to think of players in terms of property belonging to a landlord.
If you can afford to own 58 players rather than 25 and no-one is stopping you farming them out, it might make financial sense to do so, especially as big clubs aim to comply with Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules which cap spending in relation to income.
The hope is such players will improve and eventually reach the first team, as Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois did. He was bought for £5m from Genk in 2011, sent on loan to Atletico Madrid for three seasons, and broke into the Chelsea side last season.
Even if they don't, the club may hope that a player's value will increase as he matures. Chelsea sent Romelu Lukaku on loan to West Brom and Everton before making a £10m profit on him when he was sold to the Toffees in 2014.
Best of all for the club bean-counters is the fact the loan club will usually pick up the tab for the player's wages.
"We don't send players out because we are trying to recover money, we send them because we want them to play and develop," Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo has said.
"We felt it is better for players at 18-21 to go on loan somewhere where they get visibility and good competition."
Former Tottenham and Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli also believes clubs have players' best interests at heart, giving them the opportunity to play at a higher level than the current under-21 league, which has drawn criticism for its lack of competitiveness.
Comolli told BBC Sport: "I think Chelsea act in good faith, that they are concerned with the progress of young players. The number of players on loan is amazing, but for me there is no foul play."
Chelsea are not the only club to loan players out in this manner, but with great wealth at their disposal, they are certainly more efficient than other Premier League clubs.
Manchester City enjoy similar financial backing to the west London team, yet despite spending a record £160m in this window, they have 14 players on loan, including two who have agreed permanent deals for next season.
Liverpool have 15 players on loan, while Arsenal weigh in with 12, having extended Carl Jenkinson's contract before loaning him back to West Ham for another season. Manchester United only have six players being paid elsewhere this season.
The only rules that teams need to abide by concern the number of domestic players they are allowed to loan in, which is limited to four in one season, two at any one time and one from a specific club.
There are advantages in loaning to rivals, though. Loan players cannot play against their parent clubs, so Chelsea winger Victor Moses, who signed a new four-year deal before being loaned out to West Ham, can now attempt to score against all of Chelsea's Premier League rivals - but not Jose Mourinho's team.
Then there is the wider issue of Premier League clubs scooping up young talent and farming them out to lower league teams.
Not only can this stunt the development of players who are changing clubs every season, according to a Comolli, but a Championship side might sell a player to a Premier League club and see them back on loan at a rival further down the track.
Hull midfielder Tom Huddlestone started his career at Derby and in 2005 was sold for £2.5m to Tottenham. A few months later he was back in the Championship on loan with Wolves.
Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford, 21, came through Nottingham Forest's youth system but two of his four loan deals since signing for the Blues in 2012 have been at fellow Championship sides.
The way clubs are using the loan system is an issue Uefa president Michel Platini is aware of.
The former France captain has said: "It is not possible that the best teams would have all the best players or competition itself is finished. We have to think about football in all of Europe, not only in two or three clubs."
Fifa also plans to scrap the emergency loan system after this season as it believes it affects "the sporting integrity of the competitions".
There is a cautionary tale for stockpiling, however. At one point, Italian side Parma had 226 players listed as affiliated to the club. Italian clubs can co-own players but with debts amounting to £54m, the club went bust in March.
Andros Townsend was loaned out to nine teams before making his Tottenham breakthrough - but according to his father it was the making of the 24-year-old.
The winger's emergence came at a similar time to fellow England internationals Harry Kane and Ryan Mason, and his father Troy believes the trio made the grade because they were a small group which the clubs had faith in.
He told BBC Sport: "Being educated in the game in the lower leagues helped Andros in his journey. Tottenham always showed an interest even when he was down at Yeovil as it can be quite difficult for a player if they feel detached from the parent club.
"With Chelsea having 33 out on loan, there will be some players coming back wondering if they have a future at the club and even in English football. For some of them they probably won't, and they are being loaned out because they will be sold somewhere down the line."
Comolli is more critical of Tottenham's approach, however. He believes that Kane, Townsend and Mason made their breakthrough in spite of how the club handled them and believes players benefit from a consistent philosophy rather different plans at numerous clubs.
"That was the opposite of what loans should be for," he added. "Can you imagine a business telling its employees to change company nine or 10 times before you are ready to come back to us? I think making that many loan moves is wrong."
Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor admits the current system is "strange" and with clubs owning large pools of players, likens it to third-party ownership, which has been banned in Britain since 2009 and is now outlawed worldwide.
Like Fifa, Taylor's concerns also surround the integrity of competitions as well as opportunities for young players in England.
While Chelsea have five players on loan at Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem, eyebrows were raised in the 2012-13 season when the Pozzo family took over at Watford, then in the Championship, and brought in 12 players on loan from other clubs they also own - Italian side Udinese and Granada in Spain.
Taylor said: "If it becomes uncontrollable, and you think of Watford and their links with Italy, it invites scrutiny with regards to the integrity of the game.
"You don't want the winners of the competition to be the club that has the best relationships with another club and borrows their best youngsters."
Fortunately for English football, wholesale imports in the manner of those seen at Watford are relatively rare and the Hornets only have three loanees this season.
The Premier League's riches mean it is becoming more common to loan players the other way.
And Comolli believes Chelsea have actually made mistakes in loaning out and selling the likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Lukaku before they reached their true value to the team.
Townsend added: "Clubs need to trust their young talent. The loan system can be a good way but it can be abused.
"Victor Moses is still getting Premier League moves on the back of being a Chelsea player, but somewhere down the line younger players will not be getting those moves. They will be sent out on loan before they are sold off.
"That's where we have to look at curbing the loan rules, not to hinder the clubs but to benefit the players."

Dutch Connection, trained by Charlie Hills, made a late challenge in the final couple of furlongs to win ahead of second-favourite Home of the Brave and 13-2 shot Gifted Master.
"He's a world-class jockey and still very young. I think we'll see more of him," Hills told Channel 4 Racing.
"He seems very laid back and he has a good relationship with horses."
McDonald, a New Zealander based in Australia, followed up his victory in the feature race with a second in the Summer Stakes run on 8-1 shot Qewy.
"The track's very tricky," McDonald told BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght.
"The last couple of days I've been studying the map - which way to go. I've got it pretty down pat,"
The Mick Channon-trained Elidor, a 16-1 chance ridden by Silvestre de Sousa, beat McDonald on Qewy to take the Summer Stakes.
Earlier, Adam Kirby was victorious on 8-1 joint-favourite Fire Fighting in the opening race of the day, with Ryan Moore winning the Vintage Stakes on board 6-4 favourite War Decree.
Kirby took his second win of the day on 13-2 shot Boom the Groom in the 16:20BST race, while James Doyle, riding Saeed bin Suroor-trained Best Solution (11-2), won the penultimate race of the day.
The first three home in the final race were all 13-2 joint second-favourites, with Oisin Murphy on Desert Haze leading the way followed by Andrea Atzeni on Haggle and Paul Hanagan on Home Cummins.
Day two's feature race is the Sussex Stakes, which has £1m in prize money, with the Aidan O'Brien-trained The Gurkha a 7-4 favourite in a 10-strong field.

The victim, who is in her 30s, was assaulted in Hermon Hill, Wanstead, by three female suspects at about 09:30 BST on Wednesday.
She was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged.
"As a result of comments made during the attack, police are treating it as a hate crime," Scotland Yard said.
Counter-terrorism police were informed but police are not treating it as a terror-related incident.
Nursery manager Karrien Stevens said the victim told her she was slashed by three Asian women dressed in black.
Ms Stevens, who runs Little Diamonds nursery in Hermon Hill, said the woman told her that she was attacked while on her way to work from Wanstead High Street.
The attackers slashed her arm from the wrist upwards before running off down the street, she said, and shouted out "something to do with Allah and the Koran".
No arrests have been made and enquiries continue, police have said.
An anonymous caller had warned New York police that a bomb was inside luggage on board the plane.
Aeroflot spokeswoman Irina Dannenberg said the pilot decided to land the aircraft, and that it landed safely.
A search of the plane and its luggage turned up no explosives, police spokesman Vidir Reynisson told the BBC.
The 256 passengers, who were searched after being taken off the plane, were to return to Moscow on another Aeroflot aircraft later on Thursday, the company said on its website.
Flight 103 from John F Kennedy airport in New York had been scheduled to land at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport before being diverted to Keflavik.
The anonymous caller warned that there were five suitcases on the plane containing explosives, which would detonate once it reached Moscow.
"The bomb threat was made sometime earlier in the morning and at 05:30 GMT the plane decided to head for Keflavik," said Fridthor Eydal, a spokesman for the airport. "The aeroplane landed safely at 06:27," he said.
Another plane in Russia's city of Voronezh, 500 km (300 miles) south of Moscow, was also searched after an anonymous threat, but no explosives were found.

The aircraft, which set off from China on Saturday, had hoped to reach Hawaii by the end of the week.
But a developing cold front over the ocean is blocking its path and pilot Andre Borschberg has decided to play safe by landing in Nagoya, Japan.
He will now wait in Japan for better weather and then will decide to set off again.
Doyle, 35, will rejoin Coventry City in July after leading Pompey to the League Two title in his second season.
Doyle says no formal offer was made despite manager Paul Cook saying he was part of his plans for next season.
"It's one of those things in football," Doyle told BBC Radio Solent. "Coventry came in and wanted to get it done."
"We've just achieved something special here at Portsmouth," added Doyle. "But we'll never know (about a new deal) as we didn't get into that situation."
Doyle's family are based in the Midlands and the Irish midfielder returns to a club he made more than 300 appearances for between 2003 and 2011.
"I spoke to the (Portsmouth) manager at the start of the week, but then Coventry expressed an interest," revealed Doyle.
"I just thought, 'what's best for me and my family at this time?' It was time to probably move on and family comes first. What's meant to be is what's meant to be.
"It was a hard decision to come to and once I spoke to Mark Robins, who was keen to get it done quickly, I thought it was right to go with a manager who wants me."
Suriname beat Guernsey by six wickets to take the title, although Guernsey have gained promotion to Division Five with their appearance in the final.
"There were contributions made across the board from everyone in the whole squad," Pothas told BBC Radio Guernsey.
"The thing that stands out most is the maturity of a very young squad."
Pothas continued: "It was nice as historically we're always hanging our hats on one or two players."
Guernsey were bowled out for 237 with a ball to spare by Suriname, who the islanders had beaten in the group stages in Essex.
Tom Nightingale, 17, top-scored for Guernsey with 65, while his older brother Ollie scored 59 as Gavin Singh took five wickets for Suriname.
In reply, Singh hit 61 not out to win man of the match, while skipper Mohindra Boodram got 65 as Suriname reached their target with just under five overs to spare.
"We're back to the path that we've set ourselves, which is to become a solid World Cricket League Division Four team," Pothas added.
"You always want to win the trophy, you never play to come second, but it's a one-off.
"If it was a a round-robin there'd have been no question we'd have come first."
His staging of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, wrote the Telegraph's reviewer, is "directed and performed with meticulous care".
Rupert Christiansen, though, doubted it would prove "a perennial crowd-puller".
The Guardian's critic also expressed reservations, saying there is "no major reassessment, no real surprises".
"While [Leigh's] debut certainly isn't a disaster, it's not an outstanding, insightful success either," wrote Andrew Clements.
"There's nothing radical about the way in which any of the characters is conceived [and] the dancing [is] a bit on the homespun side."
Leigh explored Gilbert and Sullivan's creative partnership in his 1999 film Topsy Turvy but has never directed opera on stage before.
First staged in 1879, The Pirates of Penzance tells of a pirate apprentice and his love for Mabel, the daughter of a high-ranking officer.
The latter character sings the comic opera's best-known tune, a 'patter song' that begins with "I am the very model of a modern Major-General".
According to Christiansen, Leigh "has played it straight" with a "traditionally interpreted" and "crisply-paced" production for the English National Opera (ENO).
In Clements' view, though, "the whole evening often seems more like an exercise in affectionate nostalgia".
Mark Valencia gave a harsher verdict on the WhatsOnStage website, bemoaning the production's "stodginess" and "thudding lack of wit".
"Leigh, cinematic and theatrical iconoclast though he is, treats Pirates as a museum exhibit," the critic went on "You can practically see the kid gloves.
"He loves G[ilbert] & S[ullivan] to bits... but on the stage he dares nothing, and it's a bore."
The Pirates of Penzance runs at the Coliseum in London until 4 July and will be screened live in cinemas on 19 May.
For the first time, all of the local authority's seats will be contested. Previously only a third of seats would be up for grabs at each election.
Polling stations opened their doors at 07:00 BST and will close at 22:00.
Elections are taking place for more than 120 councils across England, while mayoral elections are being held in cities including Liverpool and Salford.
Vicente Iborra struck seven minutes from time to earn a 2-1 win that keeps Unai Emery's side on course to lift the trophy for the third straight year.
Timothee Kolodziejczak had levelled for Sevilla after Aritz Aduriz's opener.
There were also 2-1 wins for Shakhtar Donetsk and Villarreal against Braga and Sparta Prague respectively.
Yaroslav Rakitskiy put Ukrainian side Shakhtar in front in Portugal and Facundo Ferreyra pounced to make it 2-0 to the visitors before a late effort by home substitute Wilson Eduardo gave Braga hope.
Cedric Bakambu was the hero for Spanish side Villarreal with both their goals, either side of Jakub Brabec's equaliser for Sparta.
In Thursday's other quarter-final, favourites Borussia Dortmund were held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool.
There were emotional scenes as family members greeted relatives after the plane landed at Stansted Airport shortly after 03:00 BST.
Saturday's 7.8-magnitude quake killed more than 5,000 people.
The Foreign Office has confirmed that one British dual national, Hemchandra Rai, 42, was killed in the disaster.
The married father-of-three lived in Hong Kong. Reports of another possible British victim killed at Mount Everest base camp are still being investigated.
Meanwhile, a boy and a woman have been rescued from collapsed buildings in Kathmandu after surviving for five days in the rubble.
The UK government is preparing to send three RAF Chinook helicopters to help the relief effort as well as giving £2.5m to the UN's Humanitarian Air Service, International Development Secretary Justine Greening said.
The military and UN helicopters will be used to ferry people and aid supplies across remote and hard to reach terrain.
Among those arriving back at Stansted on board the Department for International Development (DfID) chartered Boeing 767 - which flew aid out to Nepal on Sunday - were children and people chosen as a priority because of health conditions.
The youngest passenger was a three-month-old baby.
Husband and wife Grahame and Holly Jobes, from Sunderland, were reunited as he stepped through immigration.
Mr Jobes, who was in Nepal for a friend's wedding, later told the BBC he was in Kathmandu when the earthquake struck.
"Things were dropping down, people were running.
"I am very fortunate, I managed to get out. I was next to people who are no longer here.
"I have three children and a new baby on the way, it was just a matter of staying alive really."
Mrs Jobes, who is seven months pregnant, said she was relieved to have her husband back.
"It has been a long morning and a long night, and long few days to be honest with you, but we are very pleased to be home."
Harry Quinn, 26, from Brighton, said a hotel which had turned him away because it was full, completely collapsed with 80 people inside.
"We were among the lucky ones but we saw plenty of others who weren't so lucky."
Ingrid Chiene, from Stroud, Gloucestershire, was greeted by her sons Harry, 12, and Ethan, 10.
"When it happened the whole building was moving from side to side and we thought it was going to fall down," she said.
"We looked outside and we could see a Mexican wave of other buildings moving."
About 30 British and Irish families are reportedly still waiting for news of their loved ones who may have been in Nepal at the time of the earthquake.
Judy Ross from Bath said she feared for the safety of her daughter, Susannah Ross, 20, who is among a group of trekkers stranded in northern Nepal following Saturday's earthquake.
She has heard her daughter is alive but said she did not know what state she was in, and that she feared boulders "the size of a car" were still falling in the area.
Ms Ross added the family was struggling to get information from the authorities about whether helicopters would be sent in to carry out a rescue.
An appeal launched by the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has raised more than £19m in the UK - including £14m in public donations and £5m from the government, which matched the first £5m of public donations.
The UK government has also pledged £15m to Nepal in aid.
Members of a 60-strong UK International Search and Rescue (UKISAR) team have also started searching for victims on the ground - including in remote parts of Nepal - with specialist rescue dogs.
Hundreds of shelter kits and solar lanterns are among 18 tonnes of supplies from the UK which have arrived in the devastated region, International Development Secretary Justine Greening said.
A team of Gurkha engineers - 12 from 2nd Battalion Royal Gurkha Rifles and six from the Queen's Gurkha Engineers - has also travelled to the country to help operate water purification equipment.
The DEC, an umbrella organisation that brings together 13 British aid charities to deal with international crises, has launched a website and donation line.
Natalia Doherty, 50, a mother-of-three, was last seen in Eastbourne, East Sussex, in April 2003, prompting a murder inquiry.
Police have been searching the garden of a house in Icknield Way, Luton.
Two men, aged 66 and 39, from Luton, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are in police custody.
Updates on this story and others from Bedfordshire
Police said early indications suggested that the remains were those of a female, but no formal identification had taken place.
The older man had previously been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and preventing a lawful burial.
'Skeletal remains'
A 71-year-old man from Port Glasgow, Scotland, is on bail on suspicion of the same crimes.
Det Insp Jerry Waite, of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire major crime unit, said recent inquiries had led them to the garden.
"Police have been working here since last Monday, where we have been conducting ground survey work and we have discovered the skeletal remains of a person," he said.
"As yet there appears to be no formal identification, but we have informed the family of Natalia Doherty that we believe it could be her and we are supporting them.
"Due to the intelligence we had, we strongly believed Natalia would be here."
Detectives believe that shortly before her death, Ms Doherty travelled to Luton to stay with her late ex-husband, Gerald, at the Regents Arms in Hastings Street.
Det Insp Waite said he wanted to hear from anyone who knew the pair around the time of the last confirmed sighting of Ms Doherty on 15 April 2003.
"We would appeal for them to come forward - especially if they knew them in or around 2003 - and were aware of them being in Luton during February to April 2003," he said.
Some Labour supporters on Twitter were puzzled by his words - they said they had never heard of Trotsky and had no idea what an "entryist" was. Mr Corbyn's team accused him of peddling conspiracy theories.
Trotskyism has its origins in early 20th Century Russian politics and the path pursued by one of the founders of the Soviet Union, Leon Trotsky.
Trotsky was the head of the Red Army and a key player in the violent revolution that toppled the Russian tsar and established the world's first socialist state.
But he split with Stalin after the death of his fellow revolutionary leader, Lenin. Stalin believed they could create a socialist society in their own country without a world revolution.
Trotsky believed his country could achieve socialism only if the working classes around the world rose up as one to overthrow the ruling classes - the doctrine of "international socialism".
He believed the Soviet Union had become a dictatorship under Stalin and advocated more democracy in the one party state.
He was murdered by a Stalinist assassin, in Mexico, in 1940, where he was living in exile after being expelled from the Soviet Union.
Trotsky's killer embedded an ice axe in the revolutionary's head.
What has any of this got to do with 21st Century British politics?
Trotsky inspired followers around the world and they still survive to this day on the fringes of British politics.
They have never had much success in elections, seeming to spend more time fighting each other and splitting into rival factions with confusingly similar names than taking on the powers that be.
There is a poignant clip of actress Vanessa Redgrave, whose family were heavily involved with the Trotskyist Workers Revolutionary Party, defiantly lecturing her 1974 general election opponents on the urgent need for a socialist state, after gaining just 574 votes in Newham North East.
The "entryism," or "entrism" as it is sometimes called, that Mr Watson and others have warned about is the practice of entering another group, taking it over, and using it as a way to gain power.
Trotsky himself advocated entryism, advising his British followers, in a 1936 letter, to form a "secret faction" in the Labour Party to push his revolutionary agenda.
But he was not the first revolutionary leader to advocate the tactic - the Labour Party had been expelling hard-left entryists since the 1920s.
British communists, inspired by the Russian Revolution, had little time for the Labour Party's belief in democratic socialism, believing revolution, and the abolition of Parliament, was the only way to free the working classes.
Trotskyist entryism did not begin to bear any real fruit until the 1970s, with the rise of the Militant Tendency.
Militant drew much of its support from young people hungry for social change and disillusioned with what they saw as Labour's watered-down version of socialism - they believed capitalism was beyond reform and the only answer was to nationalise private industry without compensation.
Supporters of the Marxist newspaper Militant, they underwent intensive training in Trotskyist ideology as they set about taking over local Labour Party branches.
It was initially a clandestine organisation, with potential recruits being approached individually and invited to attend secret meetings.
David Cowling, the BBC's former head of political research - who as a special adviser to a Labour minister in the 1970s and 80s had a ringside seat in the party's battles with Militant - says its supporters were "intensely disciplined, giving up their homes and jobs to travel elsewhere to sell the message, with the devotion of a religious sect".
At its height, Militant is thought to have had about 8,000 supporters. The faction's poster boy was Derek Hatton, the brash, Armani-suited deputy leader of Liverpool City Council.
In 1982, after the Liverpool Labour Party defied the Thatcher government's cuts to local government by setting an illegal budget, Militant was banned by the Labour Party and, after a string of expulsions, dwindled in influence.
Some have revived the "entryist" term in light of the resurgence of the left wing of the Labour Party and the influx of new members who back Jeremy Corbyn for leader.
But, as David Cowling points out, it can be used as a "pejorative catch-all" term and "the battle is to distinguish between genuine Trotskyists and those decried as such".
One group that is still happy to call itself Trotskyist is the Workers Revolutionary Party.
The party was reluctant to talk to the BBC over the phone, but members said they believed Trotsky's philosophy had never been more relevant, particularly when it came to the way the Labour Party had "betrayed the working class".
Some of the leading lights in Militant are still active in left-wing politics and its successor organisation, The Socialist Party of England and Wales, is agitating to deselect Blairite Labour MPs and backing Mr Corbyn in his battles with so-called moderate Labour MPs.
Mr Corbyn was never a member of Militant, although he fought against their expulsion in the 1980s.
And Momentum - the grassroots organisation set up to support Mr Corbyn - is clearly a very different beast, operating as it does in an open fashion.
Mr Watson has said he does not believe that the "vast majority" of Labour members that have joined the party are "all Trots and Bolsheviks".
But like many Labour MPs, he sees signs of entryist tactics at work, even though it is sometimes very difficult to get a handle on the allegiances and motivations of the British hard left.
"The followers of Leon Trotsky, like those of Jesus Christ, may all believe in the teachings of the same man, but they have rarely been united," writes journalist Michael Crick in his 1984 book on the rise and fall of Militant.
The book was republished earlier this year with a quote from Mr Watson on the front cover describing it as a "must-read for Labour activists".
He has now written to Mr Corbyn asking him to take action against members of The Socialist Party, and another group, the Alliance for Workers Liberty, which he claims are using the Labour Party "as a vehicle to achieve their revolutionary aims".
He even claims some Momentum members are using Mr Crick's book as a manual on how to take control of local Labour parties. The row is clearly not going to go away.
Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins will also go on tour and are making a TV biopic of their lives.
Speaking at the Mobo Awards in Liverpool, T-Boz said the duo are due to start work on new material soon.
"We're going to still sound like TLC, evolving to whatever level we need to be at this time," she said.
The group were one of the biggest-selling and most influential acts of the 90s in the US, with hits including Waterfalls, Creep and No Scrubs.
After Lopes died in a car crash in Honduras in 2002, the remaining pair completed the group's fourth album 3D but have since only released occasional new songs.
Asked how they would fit into the modern pop scene, T-Boz said: "We've always grown throughout the years and have always had our own sound. That's what works for us and we don't have to worry about anybody else.
"When that stops working, maybe we'll hang up the towel, but that still works. We have to get into the studio and start feeling how we feel. You have to find yourself first and then you find the path and then you have an album before you know it."
There has been speculation that Lopes could be incorporated into the accompanying tour in the form of a hologram.
T-Boz and Chilli are also executive producers of the VH1 biopic and are about to cast actresses to play themselves.

The Premier League leaders suffered only their second home defeat of the season as Palace boosted their survival hopes with a 2-1 win.
Tottenham's win at Burnley means they are seven points behind Chelsea.
"For (the media) it's a good result, because it makes this more interesting in the championship," Conte said.
"But I always said the league finishes when you have the mathematical certainty that you won. Otherwise you must fight, you must play every game to try to win."
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says he and his players still believe they can catch Chelsea following their 2-0 win at Burnley.
"It's an important, a massive three points for us to still believe we can fight for the title," said the Argentine.
"We showed great belief and character and faith. That makes us proud."

"I don't think it can be done. But Tottenham have been brilliant since the turn of the year. They're the two best teams and let's see what they can do."
Prior to Palace's visit, Chelsea had not lost in any competition since a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham on 4 January.
It looked like they were on course for another victory when Cesc Fabregas struck early on, but two quick goals from Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke secured a fourth successive win for Palace.
The Eagles, having looked in real danger of going down earlier this season, are now four points clear of the relegation zone.
"Nobody expected it," said Palace boss Sam Allardyce, who has never been relegated from the Premier League as a manager.
"It's an absolutely outstanding victory for us, particularly in the position we're in."
The agreement will see the launch of five pilot schemes designed to transfer power over NHS services from Whitehall to local groups.
It has the backing of Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, London Clinical Commissioning Groups, NHS England and councils, the Treasury said.
Labour mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan said London could not wait as long as Manchester had for devolved powers.
The five pilot areas include Haringey, Barking and Dagenham with Havering and Redbridge, North Central London - which includes Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington - as well as Lewisham and Hackney.
Hackney will run a health and social care integration pilot, aiming for full integration of health and social care budgets and joint provision of services. This will also have a particular focus on prevention.
The plan for a local-led, integrated health and social care system by 2020 backed by local authorities was outlined in the spending review.
Mr Osborne, who made the earlier announcement at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said it was "another crucial step in our devolution revolution and is the start of us handing over valuable healthcare power to local leaders in London".
He said it would lead to "better, more joined up healthcare in the capital".
What devolution could mean for London boroughs in five pilot areas
The Treasury said that as part of the agreement the partners involved had agreed to look at the "vast NHS estate in London and increase incentives for trusts to make better use of property".
Mr Johnson said: "As we've shown through transport, policing and planning, devolution is already working in London and this agreement paves the way for a revolution in how health and social care are delivered across the capital.
"With our city's population continuing to grow, it is essential that we have a health service better equipped to manage its own resources so that it can become even more responsive to the needs of Londoners."
It was announced in February that Greater Manchester would obtain full control of its health spending from April 2016.
Mayoral candidate Mr Khan said while he supported giving London more power over health services, the city could not afford to wait as long as Manchester, which was promised control "years ago".
He said: "We must ensure that the fine print of any devolution proposal works for London, and that the proper management and financial structures are in place." | The coastguard station at Brixham in Devon has closed as part of a shake-up of rescue services.

The 28-year-old was jailed for six years last March for sexually touching and grooming a 15-year-old schoolgirl.
He was later refused leave to appeal his conviction and sentence, but launched a second bid late last year.
A panel of three judges reserved its decision on the new application at the Appeal Court earlier.
A decision will now be made at a future date.
Johnson was found guilty of sexual touching, but not guilty on a charge relating to another sexual act.
The former Sunderland player had previously admitted grooming the girl and one charge of sexual activity.

The formerly top secret correspondence was between the then UK prime minister and US defence secretary Dick Cheney.
Mrs Thatcher told Mr Cheney the US should consider retaliating "in like manner" if Iraq used chemical weapons.
But President George HW Bush said such a move would "put the US in the wrong in world opinion".
Under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, Iraq invaded the Gulf state of Kuwait in August 1990.
The correspondence, released by the National Archive, details conversations Mrs Thatcher held with President Bush and Mr Cheney before she was forced from office in November 1990, as the countries considered their response to the invasion.
According to a September 1990 account of a meeting with President Bush in New York: "The prime minister asked what we would do in the event of an Iraqi attack with CW [chemical weapons] or BW [biological weapons].
"The president said that world opinion would eat Saddam Hussein for lunch if he resorted to this. The prime minister doubted whether Saddam Hussein would be deterred by world opinion. Did the US itself have CW in the area to act as a deterrent?
"The president said that use or threatened use of CW would only put the US in the wrong with world opinion. It would be better to launch an all-out conventional attack and wipe Saddam Hussein off the face of the earth."
The memo adds that President Bush described reports in the UK press that the US could possibly use nuclear weapons against Iraq as not "at all helpful".
In a subsequent conversation with Mr Cheney the prime minister said she was: "Very worried about Iraq's CW and BW capability. She believed that Saddam Hussein would use them, and we had to decide what our response would be.
"If we wished to deter a CW attack by threatening to retaliate in like manner, we must have CW weapons available."
Mr Cheney said "no final decision had been taken on how to respond" to a chemical weapons attack.
He said that "the president had a particular aversion to chemical weapons", adding: "The US military commanders were not keen on them, because American forces had no experience of using them and many of the weapons themselves were outmoded."
By the time the UK joined US-led coalition forces taking military action against Iraq in January 1991, John Major had replaced Mrs Thatcher as prime minister.
Fierce fighting continued until 28 February 1991 when Iraq, whose military capability had by now been seriously harmed, agreed to a ceasefire.
In 1993 the UK and the US signed a convention outlawing the production and use of chemical weapons. They are among 192 countries to have ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention.
In 2003 Prime Minister Tony Blair used allegations that Iraq still had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons as part of his case for supporting the US-led invasion of the the country, which led to the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
The chief US weapons inspector later concluded that Iraq had no stockpiles of biological, chemical or nuclear weapons at the time of the invasion.
Mr Corbyn told Michel Barnier he was "ready to take up the responsibility for Brexit negotiations" if there was a change in government.
The EU negotiator also held separate meetings with the first ministers of Wales and Scotland, Carwyn Jones and Nicola Sturgeon.
Mr Barnier has stressed he will only negotiate with the UK government.
The Conservatives said Mr Corbyn would "surrender", rather than negotiate with the EU if he was in charge.
Mr Corbyn presented Mr Barnier with an Arsenal football shirt and a copy of the Labour manifesto before the meeting, while Mr Barnier gave the Labour leader a vintage railway poster from his home region in the French alps.
Speaking afterwards, Mr Corbyn said he had told the EU negotiator that "under a Labour government, we will negotiate to make sure we have the trading relationship with Europe that protects industry, protects jobs and protects services".
He added: "We will also make sure Britain doesn't become some sort of low tax regime off the shore of Europe and we will not sign a trade treaty with the USA which is not only at variance with the Paris Climate Agreement but also damaging to living standards and working conditions in Britain."
A second formal round of Brexit negotiations is due to begin on Monday, and Mr Barnier has warned that significant issues remain between the UK and the EU on one of the first issues to be tackled, citizens' rights.
Labour says it would unilaterally guarantee EU nationals' rights and "extend the hand of partnership and friendship" to the rest of the bloc.
"In contrast to the Conservatives' megaphone diplomacy, we will conduct relations with our European neighbours respectfully and in the spirit of friendship," Mr Corbyn said.
"Our strong links with our European sister parties gives Labour an advantage in reaching an outcome that works for both sides."
His visit comes after Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said the EU could "go whistle" if it wanted an "extortionate" divorce bill from the UK, prompting Mr Barnier to respond: "I'm not hearing any whistling, just the clock ticking."
Mr Jones said he would use his meeting to push for "full and unfettered access" to the EU single market and to avoid no deal being reached.
The Welsh first minister said he hoped to demonstrate to Mr Barnier that there were "parts of the UK that are prepared to engage constructively with the EU 27, rather than indulge in playing to the gallery".
Ms Sturgeon's spokesman said the meeting was "an opportunity to brief Mr Barnier on Scotland's priorities and seek to enhance our understanding of the current EU position as Brexit negotiations continue".
He added: "Our priority is protecting Scotland's vital interests, and building consensus against an extreme Brexit outside the single market, which would be potentially disastrous for jobs, investment and living standards.
"This is not about holding separate Scottish negotiations - we have always accepted that the EU will only negotiate with the UK, which is why we will continue to work hard to influence the UK position."
The Conservatives dismissed Mr Corbyn's trip to Brussels, saying Labour was "hopelessly divided" on key issues like immigration.
"Jeremy Corbyn wouldn't negotiate in Brexit talks, he would surrender. He has made clear Labour would accept any deal on offer - even if it was designed to punish Britain," Tory MP James Cleverly said.
The move is part of £12m plans for St Nicholas Park and Newbold Comyn centres being looked at by Conservative-run Warwick District Council.
Labour councillor Judith Clarke said tendering led to risks "because you never really know whether it is going to be a success or not".
Sue Gallagher, of cultural services, said they wanted to improve services.
The council said its executive committee would discuss a report on Thursday about improving leisure and sports services "to respond to increasing demand as the district grows over the coming decades".
"Without this investment, there is a significant risk that these major leisure facilities will no longer be fit for purpose," the report says.
Councillors will be asked to look at seeking outside funding for new fitness facilities, updating reception areas and building a new sports hall at Leamington Spa's Newbold Comyn centre.
Council leader Andrew Mobbs said: "It is important that we consider the best ways to continue to provide this service by seeking to both invest in the future and reduce the financial burden of such facilities."
But Ms Clarke, a Leamington councillor, said if any services were run by outside groups, the contracts would have to be "scrutinised very carefully" to ensure the council got best value for money.
Ms Gallagher, portfolio holder for cultural services, said costs would be considered, adding the centres were very important to people in the area.
"We have always kept them up to high standards and high quality and we just want to make them better," she said.
The executive committee is being asked to approve plans for further studies and reports into the "likely costs and benefits" ahead of a future decision about how the services will be operated.
Hundreds of Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) troops entered Bazwaya, the last village before the city boundary, after launching a dawn assault on Monday.
A BBC correspondent travelling with them says there was some resistance, with car bombs targeting the convoy.
Units of the army's ninth division are meanwhile advancing from the south.
Earlier, the military announced the start of an operation to retake the part of Mosul east of the River Tigris, which flows through the city.
The BBC's Ian Pannell, who is with a CTS unit, says the assault on Bazwaya, about 3km (1.9 miles) from Mosul, began early on Monday.
Hundreds of troops in heavily-armoured Humvees, together with tanks and bulldozers, advanced on the village, supported by US-led coalition air strikes, our correspondent adds.
Within hours the head of the Iraqi military's Nineveh Operations Command, Lt-Gen Abdul Amir Yarallah, announced that they had entered Bazwaya and raised the Iraqi flag.
Our correspondent says that a column of troops is now probing different parts of Mosul's outskirts, as commanders make a plan about where to go next.
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.
One senior officer told the Associated Press news agency that they aimed to enter the city limits later on Monday, while another told Reuters they were already fighting in the Karama district.
CTS commander Lt Gen Abdul Wahhab al-Saidi denied that the troops had entered Karama. But he did say that they were moving on Kukjali, an industrial zone west of Bazwaya that lies about 1km from Mosul's municipal boundary.
It had been expected the CTS would halt its advance until troops and allied fighters on other frontlines also reached the outskirts of Mosul.
Gen Yarallah announced earlier that the army's ninth division had taken control of the village of Ellag, 17km (10 miles) south of Mosul.
Army units also recaptured a number of villages to the south-east and north, the military said, while federal police are moving north from the town of Shura towards Hamam al-Alil.
About 50,000 Iraqi security forces personnel, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, Sunni Arab tribesmen and Shia militiamen are involved in the two-week-old offensive 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.
The approval by the Federal Reserve could give momentum to White House plans to loosen financial rules.
The Fed signed off on the firms' plans to distribute money to shareholders and use it for purposes other than being a buffer against another meltdown.
It said the proposals would not hinder the banks' ability to operate in a severe downturn.
This is the first time in seven years all 34 firms under review have passed the second part of an annual stress test brought in after the financial crisis.
Bank stocks jumped on the news.
Citigroup shares rose more than 2% in after hours trading. The firm said on Wednesday that it would increase its dividend and authorize up to $15.6bn in share buybacks in coming months.
Shares of JP Morgan Chase spiked almost 2%, while Bank of America climbed 1.3% and Goldman Sachs increased 1.2%.
The Federal Reserve last week cleared all 34 financial firms in the first part of the review, which looked at whether the firms had enough of a financial cushion to absorb losses in a severe downturn.
In the second part of the review, the bank said the companies' capital plans, which include share buybacks and dividend increases, would not harm their ability to operate in a crisis.
"I'm pleased that the... process has motivated all of the largest banks to achieve healthy capital levels and most to substantially improve their capital planning processes," said Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell.
The Federal Reserve asked one company, Capital One Financial, to submit a new plan within six months that addresses weaknesses in its capital planning process.
Regulators said the firm did not "appropriately take into account the potential impact of the risks in one of its most material businesses."
The 22-year-old from Queenstown is Wales-qualified through his grandfather from Llanelli and played for New Zealand Under-20s five times in 2013.
Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac said: "Michael is a versatile player with a good skillset.
"He has been brought in to cover injuries to Scott Williams and Liam Williams."
The 34-year-old, who played for Llanelli as well as representing the Barbarians, joined the region in 2000 as part of their academy year group.
"I'm delighted and proud to have the opportunity to continue my coaching development at the Scarlets," he said.
"There's plenty of work to be done, but with a young pack I'm looking forward to seeing the development continue."
Flynn, 36, has been rewarded with a two-year deal after securing League Two survival in a 12-game caretaker spell.
Coach Wayne Hatswell and advisor Lennie Lawrence will also remain at County, who avoided relegation with victory over Notts County.
"Nothing makes me prouder than to take charge of my hometown club," Flynn said.
The appointment means midfielder Flynn has all but hung up his boots as a professional player, despite five League Two appearances this season.
Though he may register as a player, he said: "It will just be an emergency if anything happens, you can take it I am retiring because unless we have a horrendous run of injuries then I won't be doing anything.
"Its a new chapter in Michael Flynn's career and its management not football."

Flynn will immediately set to work on reducing the size of County's squad, while seeking to keep key players who engineered the astonishing late revival.
The former Wigan Athletic and Gillingham player is anxious to take that momentum into next season, but warned: " I am not going to say I am a miracle worker and we are going to win the league by ten points. I am honest it's going to be a tough job but it's an exciting job.
"We have to get the recruitment right. We need payers in who will take us up the league. We are already having a chat about targets and what we think we need.
"For me there was not enough pace in the team so we need to increase the pace around the pitch."
Vastly experienced Lawrence said Flynn's knowledge of the club - he made more than 100 appearances for County - was a key to survival and would be important going forward.
The former Cardiff City, Charlton and Middlesbrough manager said: "If you are at a club like Newport it has to be more than a job. It's a young man's game unless your are at the top. You have to have a good work ethic.
"The fact that he's local, started and finished his career here, is a big advantage. He knows the club he knew the players. Now he has to show skills in a recruitment department."
Meanwhile the club have released Liam Angel, Marcus Beauchamp, Paul Bignot, Jack Compton, Tom Meechan, Kieran Parselle, Finlay Wood following the end of the season.
Darren Jones, who has had two spells with the club, also announced his retirement.

Tidal Lagoon Power (TLP) says it will now negotiate how much subsidy will be paid for the energy.
That is still a big hurdle for TLP, which wants five other lagoons on the west UK coast to harness power, and needs a guaranteed price for it.
There are also concerns about the impact on the environment and migratory fish.
The backing by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is seen as a significant step forward for the developers.
Energy Minister Lord Bourne, who is also Wales Office Minister, said: "We need more clean and home-grown sources of energy, which will help to reduce our reliance on foreign fossil fuels.
"Low carbon energy projects like the tidal lagoon in Swansea Bay could bring investment, support local jobs and help contribute to the Welsh economy and Swansea area."
The tidal lagoon on the eastern side of Swansea Bay, between the docks and the new university campus, would use the flow and ebb of the tide to generate energy, which would then be converted into electricity.
But before the lagoon becomes a reality, there are three main challenges that need to be met:
The attraction for the UK Government is the potential for a new industry.
Thousands of construction and manufacturing jobs could be created, especially if five much bigger lagoons are built in the Severn estuary and off the north Wales coast.
There would also be a boost to the UK's standing as a generator of clean, green energy.
Mark Shorrock, chief executive of Gloucester-based TLP, said the project had the" potential to help transform our industrial economy and the UK's energy mix".
He added: "We see it as a game-changer, a scalable blueprint, paving the way for a fleet of lagoons that can work in harmony with nature to help secure the nation's electricity for generations to come."
Swansea council leader Rob Stewart called the news hugely encouraging for the city, saying it would boost leisure and tourism.
Friends of the Earth Cymru director Gareth Clubb also welcomed the news, adding: "Tidal power could further revolutionise Wales' energy mix - instead of relying on climate-wrecking fossil fuels, it could help us build a clean and safer energy future."
However he called for the government to make the most of existing renewable resources such as offshore wind and solar power.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) will continue to assess the possible effects of the lagoon on the environment. A marine licence could be issued by the end of July.
If the decision is a positive one, work would start next March.
A Welsh government spokesman said: "We welcome this decision. Wales is well-placed to exploit the potential of marine energy and the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project could create thousands of jobs during the construction and hundreds of permanent ones."
ANALYSIS by Iolo ap Dafydd, BBC Wales environment correspondent
Tidal energy has political muscle from both George Osborne and David Cameron behind it, while the developers claim the promised tourism and jobs from the project have strong support in the Swansea area.
But there are challenges too. Big ones.
There are environmental concerns about the impact on migratory fish. The Swansea lagoon would be between the Tawe and Neath estuaries. The potentially larger lagoon in eastern Cardiff could block the Rhymney estuary.
TLP still needs a marine licence from NRW whatever is decided in Westminster.
The impact of dredging and clearing on the bay, as well as sediment pollution, are other considerations. And the project could yet face legal challenges or calls for a judicial review.
Then there's the cost. A cool billion pounds for an energy output that would be a third of an average sized power station.
TLP and the UK Government now need to agree a guaranteed price for the energy generated.
Last year, the company asked for £168 per MWhe - higher than for nuclear, solar and onshore wind energy - but will not say the current detail of negotiations.
Higher tariffs are offered to wave and other marine technologies, but unlike energy lagoons, they are far in the future whereas staff at TLP want to be able to start building next spring.

It will be the second time Bennett will have played under Rovers boss Paul Lambert, following his spell as boss at Carrow Road from 2009 until 2012.
The 27-year-old has moved for an undisclosed fee.
Bennett made 79 appearances for Norwich, scoring three goals. He had a spell on loan at Bristol City earlier this season.
The prime minister said a joint GCHQ and National Crime Agency unit would hunt online paedophiles with the same "effort" used to track terrorists.
Speaking at a London summit, he said online child exploitation existed on an "almost industrial scale" worldwide.
He also unveiled a law to stop adults sending children "sexual" messages.
Labour said it had suggested the same law six weeks ago and the government had said it was "not necessary".
Mr Cameron said the new unit was part of a drive to remove millions of "sickening and depraved" images from the internet.
The term "dark net" refers to parts of the internet that are hidden and can be hard to access without special software, and Downing Street said the new unit would be able to analyse huge volumes of images.
Mr Cameron said progress had been made on blocking online abuse images, but added: "The dark net is the next side of the problem, where paedophiles and perverts are sharing images, not using the normal parts of the internet that we all use.
"What we are doing there is setting GCHQ, our world class intelligence agency, together with the National Crime Agency and we are going to go after these people with every bit of effort that we go after terrorists and other international criminals."
Mr Cameron said children were being "abused to order" by some international gangs.
"One gang in the Philippines was arranging the sexual abuse of children, filming it and then live streaming it to paying customers across the world," he said.
He said this gang was stopped - and 29 people arrested - after an investigation which began when a British police officer examined a sex offender's computer. He said 15 children, some as young as six, were rescued from their "living nightmare".
Speaking at the We Protect Children Online summit in London, Mr Cameron said his proposed new law would make it "illegal for an adult to send a sexual communication to a child".
The law, which would apply in England and Wales, is expected to be included in the Serious Crime Bill currently going through Parliament.
Various laws exist in this area, but Mr Cameron said there should be no "grey areas".
It follows a campaign by the NSPCC charity to close what it dubbed the "flaw in the law".
Mr Cameron said it would also be made illegal to possess material offering guidance on abusing children - what he called "paedophile training manuals".
Representatives from more than 50 countries, 23 leading technology companies and nine non-governmental organisations are attending the summit.
Mr Cameron said they would sign a "landmark agreement" which "amounts to nothing less than a global war against online child abuse".
As part of the agreement, he said a "range of countries" had committed to create "dedicated law enforcement response" to tackle child abuse images.
He said a new "global child protection fund" would be set up, with the UK the first and "most major" donor - paying £50m over the next five years.
Mr Cameron said internet firms had gone "above and beyond" what they had been asked to do in terms of blocking access to child abuse images.
He also said:
Google said it "aggressively" removes child abuse images, adding: "Over the past 12 months our algorithm changes and deterrent campaign have already led to a five-fold reduction in a number of child sexual abuse image-related queries in search."
Responding to Mr Cameron's comments, shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said there were "very serious gaps" in the government's plans because "thousands of cases of abuse are not being followed up by the police".
"We know the National Crime Agency has details of over 20,000 suspected of accessing images of child abuse under Operation Notarise, and yet they have only investigated a tiny proportion of these - and arrested fewer than 1,000," she said.
Ms Cooper also said the new law outlined by Mr Cameron was "in fact a Labour amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill" that the government had said was "not necessary" only six weeks ago.
"It's very welcome that they have changed their minds," she said.
Roy Devine told a council meeting on Tuesday that the airport will not break even until 2021/22.
It is currently running at a £2.145m loss per year, paid for by Derry City and Strabane District Council ratepayers.
While this subsidy has reduced by £1m since 2010, a further £1.3m is owed in charges on historic capital loans.
Mr Devine said that they were in discussions with other airlines to try to attract new routes to the airport, following a number of recent losses.
They have included routes from Derry to Birmingham and Alicante, while a proposed Derry-Dublin Citywings flight was scrapped last month following the Brexit vote.
Mr Devine told the meeting that an "over-supply" of airline routes flying to and from Belfast, an increase in business rates incurred by the airport and cash-strapped customers in the region were all pressing challenges.
"I do acknowledge things are challenging at the moment but we do believe there are better days ahead and we would ask council to stay with us," he added.
"I think the airport is vital to the infrastructure of the north west. I think the city would be poorer without having it."
Mr Devine added that extra costs outlined in a new five year business plan related to money needed to cover staff wages, and cover the recent loss of the Birmingham route.
However, Independent councillor Paul Gallagher said the airport now looked like "a vanity project for this area", the "burden" of which is being endured by ratepayers.
"As a business plan, I would say this concedes more than it gives. It concedes that we need to pay airlines to attract routes and that there is an inability to attract funding and attract and maintain new routes," Mr Gallagher said.
"CODA (City of Derry Airport) cannot keep coming back to this area and just looking for subvention, subvention, subvention."
Those comments were dismissed by SDLP councillor, John Boyle.
"We need connectivity; we have a very poor roads network here. For anyone to say we should give up and wave the white flag, to my mind would be ridiculous," he said.
"We have a responsibility to ratepayers to keep the airport running as well. There are many, many large businesses who depend upon it."
Russia was suspended in November 2015 by the IAAF and the ban has twice been extended meaning athletes missed the Rio Olympics.
They are now set to also miss March's European Indoors in Belgrade.
This extension comes despite Russian President Vladimir Putin approving a law criminalising doping in sports.
In his annual Kremlin speech to parliament and the nation, President Putin said that Russia's new anti-doping programme would be ready in early 2017, so that athletes could qualify to take part in August's World Championships in London.
Although Rune Andersen, the head of the International Association of Athletics Federations Taskforce looking into the steps Russia is taking to combat doping, says the country's athletics federation (Rusaf) has made further progress on the matter since June, it has refused to put any dates on a timescale for a return to the fold.
The final report by Canadian law professor Richard McLaren into Russia's state-sponsored doping programme, is due to be released on 9 December and Andersen said the Taskforce would return to Russia in January to assess the response to it before reporting to February's IAAF Council meeting.
"At that time it hopes to be able to identify a clear roadmap and timetable for Rusaf's reinstatement," said the Norwegian.
In the meantime, Russian athletes can still apply to the IAAF doping review board to compete if they can demonstrate they have undergone a testing system, as the US-based long jumper Darya Klishina did successfully for the Rio Games.
The team principal has faced questions over banned substance use and British Cycling has been investigated due to issues during his time in charge.
But ahead of the start of the Tour on Saturday, Brailsford said he is "proud" and "patriotic" of achievements.
Tour champion Chris Froome said he had "no trust issues" with Team Sky.
Froome, 32, is seeking a fourth Tour de France title and revealed he is close to signing a new contract with the outfit which would extend his stay to 2021.
But since his win in 2016, Team Sky have been criticised for the use of Therapeutic Use Exemptions and questioned over the contents of a medical package sent to Sir Bradley Wiggins at the Criterium du Dauphine in 2011.
Amid widespread criticism of the team, Froome - who has not won a race this season - conceded he could "sympathise" with fans who doubted the credibility of his performances.
"Certainly I've learned to grow a thicker skin over the years and I understand where it's coming from given cycling's history," said Froome, who had urine thrown at him during the 2015 Tour where he claimed fans called him a "doper".
"I do sympathise with people who have had their doubts because I've had my doubts as well about performances post the early 2000s. I can see where those questions are coming from.
"I don't have any trust issues, I can't make it any more plain."
Brailsford faced a Culture, Media and Sport Committee in December to discuss doping in the sport and said the package delivered to Wiggins prior to the first of his two wins at the Criterium du Dauphine was a "decongestant".
Team Sky are seeking a fifth win in six years at this year's Tour and Brailsford is adamant they have never strayed from their "zero tolerance" policy on doping ahead of the off in Dusseldorf.
"I've been involved in this sport a long time, and I've tried to do it absolutely in the way that I've always thought it should be done," he said.
"I wouldn't want to be doing anything else. I'm proud of cycling in Britain, I'm proud of everything that's been achieved, I'm proud of these guys, proud of Team Sky. I love it, I'm going nowhere."
The France international finished at the near post after he received the ball from Maxwell following good hold-up play by Ezequiel Lavezzi.

The guidelines focus on the harm caused to victims of fraud, money laundering and bribery, as well as the monetary amounts involved.
The old rules viewed the pain caused to victims only as an "aggravating factor", the Sentencing Council said.
Justice minister Jeremy Wright has welcomed the change.
Elderly people getting ripped off by unscrupulous builders was the the type of crime the council cited as an example of when the tougher guidelines could be used.
Sentencing Council chairman Lord Justice Treacy said fraudsters "were only in it to make money" but victims were often adversely affected in ways far greater than just financial loss.
He said: "Our research with victims showed the great impact it can have on them, so the guideline puts this impact at the centre of considerations of what sentence the offender should get."
In 2012, 17,926 people were sentenced for fraud, which the council describes as a hugely varied offence that can affect "individuals, businesses, public money and charities".
Fraud against individuals cost victims £9.1 billion in 2012-13, the Council said.
Private sector fraud cost business £21.2 billion in 2012-13, while fraud targeting public money amounted to £20.6 billion.
Mr Wright said: "The upset and embarrassment of falling victim to con artists and fraudsters can often be at least as bad as the financial loss, and we welcome these guidelines which make sure courts will take that into account in future."
The Sentencing Council for England and Wales was set up to promote greater transparency and consistency in sentencing. The courts must follow its guideline "unless it is in the interests of justice not to do so". Most of its members are judges of various sorts but it also includes members of a number of professions connected with the law and the courts.
Chile midfielder Vidal struck early in the second half when his 20-yard shot was deflected past keeper Thomas Kraft.
Brazil winger Costa made sure of victory with a spectacular shot into the top corner 11 minutes from the end.
That would have made Bayern champions had Borussia Dortmund lost, but Thomas Tuchel's side won 3-0 at Stuttgart.
Shinji Kagawa, Christian Pulisic and Henrik Mkhitaryan scored for Dortmund, who trail Bayern by seven points with three games each to play.
Vidal's goal brought a redemption of sorts, after he was criticised heavily for diving in midweek.
The midfielder dived to win a penalty as Bayern beat Werder Bremen 2-0 in their DFB-Pokal semi-final on Tuesday night, with the referee who awarded the kick later apologising for his error and even manager Pep Guardiola admitting that it was the wrong decision.
Guardiola rested captain Philipp Lahm with Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg trip to Atletico Madrid to consider, but still put out a strong side.
Hertha, seeking to qualify for next season's Champions League, threatened the leaders' goal only rarely, with former Bayern forward Mitchell Weiser seeing a first-half penalty appeal rejected as his shot struck Serdar Tasci on the arm.
After Vidal's opener, Kraft made a superb save to deny Robert Lewandowski, but was helpless to do anything about Costa's effort.
During Mr Chavez's funeral in Caracas on Friday, Mr Ahmadinejad was photographed sympathising with Elena Frias de Chavez, 78.
While it is not a full embrace, the Iranian president and Mr Chavez's mother have their faces brushed against each other, with their hands clasped in a moment of shared grief. Several news agencies released photos of the unexpected scene.
Muslim men are by tradition forbidden to touch women who are not members of their close family.
Conservative critics, already irked by Mr Ahmadinejad's effusive eulogy for the leftist leader, reminded him that he has not only committed a sin, but also behaved in a way inappropriate for the president of an Islamic state.
They said it was another sign that Mr Ahmadinejad was influenced by the "deviant current", a term used to label his close aides, and increasingly himself, and distance him from the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iranian government spin doctors tried to deflect the criticism by claiming the photograph was faked.
"They have doctored the picture or took it from an angle that appears to show they (Mr Ahmadinejad and Mrs Chavez) are in contact. There was no handshake," said Mohammadreza Mir Tajeddini, an aide to the president.
Then in an intriguing twist, a clearly Photoshopped version of the picture made the rounds on some Iranian websites. It showed Mr Ahmadinejad with an old balding man in the very same pose.
The president's supporters insisted this was the genuine photo, depicting an uncle of Mr Chavez, while the one with his mother was indeed Photoshopped.
But on close inspection, it's clear that the so-called uncle is the Egyptian opposition leader and former director-general of the UN nuclear watchdog, Mohamed ElBaradei.
In real life, Mr ElBaradei is much taller than Mr Ahmadinejad, but in the doctored picture he appears significantly shorter than the Iranian president.
In another baffling twist, Entekhab, a website that had earlier chastised Mr Ahmadinejad for the original picture of the president and Mr Chavez's mother, issued an unreserved apology to the Iranian president.
It blamed the British Daily Telegraph for "Photoshopping the picture amateurishly".
This was all the ammunition pro-Ahmadinejad websites and blogs needed. A few hours later, Entekhab withdrew its own apology, however.
"After seeing the picture of Ahmadinejad and the old man, one of our reporters thought this was the real photo. Believing that he has made a significant discovery, he published the story without informing his editors. Unfortunately, the photo showing Ahmadinejad and (Mrs) Chavez is genuine," read Entekhab's statement.
There is also another contentious picture published by anti-Ahmadinejad websites, falsely claiming it shows the president hugging one of Hugo Chavez's daughters.
The Iranian president's supporters are claiming a smear campaign to discredit Mr Ahmadinejad and his aides as they attempt to retain power in the June presidential election.
Kevin Hannaway and four others were arrested on 8 August as part of an operation targeting dissident republican activity in Dublin.
Mr Hannaway, 67, from Colin Mill in Belfast was charged on 10 August with assisting the IRA.
Edward O'Brien, 41, of Finglas, Dublin and Eva Shannon, 59, from Oakman Street, Belfast face the same charge.
David Nooney , 52, from Coultry Green, Ballymun, Dublin, and Seán Hannaway, 47, from Linden Gardens, Belfast are each charged with membership of the IRA.
Mr Hannaway is a member of the group known as the 'hooded men' who were detained by security forces during the Troubles.
They are seeking revision of a 1978 judgment of the European Court of Human Rights, which said their treatment was "inhuman and degrading" but not torture.
Mr Hannaway, along with his co-accused, were each granted bail at the non-jury court, on a number of conditions.
A book of evidence is expected to be served on 3 November.
But Zika is no fiction.
The spread of the disease across the Americas is being described as an "explosive pandemic" and now Asia is on alert.
India has already started testing for the virus among its 1.3 billion population. And it will be no surprise if it is found, because India has a surprisingly long history of Zika infection.
Zika is a mosquito-borne virus which has recently been linked to shrunken brains in children and a rare auto-immune disease called Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Scientists who have been studying the outbreak in the Americas say a couple of million people have almost certainly been infected. The virus has been detected in 23 countries in the region and now threatens to spill into the US.
So far Asia is reckoned to be Zika-free. Certainly all the samples analysed for the virus by the National Institute of Virology in Pune - India's centre of expertise on the spread of viral illnesses - have been negative.
But India has had Zika before.
When the Institute was first established in 1952, a group of scientists was commissioned to try to work out what diseases it should focus its efforts on.
They went out across India collecting blood samples to test for exposure to a list of 15 insect-borne diseases. Amazingly they included Zika on the list.
I say amazingly because Zika had only just got into the spotlight.
The virus was first isolated from monkeys living in the Zika jungle of Uganda in 1947. It was only formally described as a distinct virus in 1952.
Yet the researchers discovered that "significant numbers" of people had been exposed to the virus in India. A total of 33 of the 196 people tested for the new disease had immunity.
"It therefore seems certain", they concluded in a paper published in 1953 "that Zika virus attacks human beings in India".
What is particularly extraordinary is that this conclusion was reached even before the first official case in a human being was registered in Nigeria in 1954.
It suggests, one expert on the spread of infectious diseases tells me, that Zika was already widespread even before that first live virus was isolated in a human.
The research team was not particularly concerned by the evidence of Zika infection. Zika was regarded as a very mild illness causing just a slight rash and fever, and with no significant long-term complications.
That perception has changed dramatically over the last couple of months, as Zika has been linked with abnormalities in brain development in pregnancy and autoimmune illness.
Indeed, it is possible that Zika has remained endemic here but has simply not been identified because it is not routinely tested for.
And even if India does not already have Zika, the progress of two other diseases - dengue and chikungunya - demonstrates that it could spread.
All three viruses are carried by the same mosquito, the now infamous Aedes aegypti.
Just a few months ago I was out hunting Aedes aegypti in the narrow streets of Delhi's old town with a government team.
I was there because India suffered one of the worst outbreaks of dengue in its history last year. There were 25,000 confirmed cases, but the real figure was reckoned to be at least 100 times higher.
The spread of dengue across the world has been dramatic. The disease causes high fever and agonising joint pain. About one in a hundred victims die.
Fifty years ago it had only ever been recorded in a couple of countries. Now it is endemic in more than 100, putting more than half the world's population at risk.
There are reckoned to be 100 million cases of the disease a year, and perhaps as many as a million deaths.
And wherever there is dengue, one expert told the BBC, you are likely - in time - to get Zika too.
Professor Laura Rodrigues, a fellow of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says she thinks there is a real chance Aedes aegypti will re-infect Asia with the virus.
Indeed, the findings of the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) are likely to apply to Asia as well as the Americas.
It anticipates that "Zika virus will continue to spread and will likely reach all countries and territories of the region where Aedes mosquitoes are found".
In the meantime the race is on to try to understand how the virus works on the human body and to try to develop a vaccine.
Even the most optimistic estimates suggest that will take a minimum of two years.
The classroom is crammed.
Four or five children squeeze into 1.5m-long wooden desks with the ones at the end forced to stretch a leg out into the aisle to stabilise them.
They are not sitting comfortably but they do seem to be concentrating on the maths lesson.
At the front one of the class is working out a conversion of grammes to kilogrammes.
The rest of them - roughly 100 11-year-olds - recite the answer in chorus.
The teacher walks around the classroom making sure all the pupils are on the same page of the textbook.
This is the scene at Nairobi's Olympic Primary School, which once had a reputation for high academic standards.
But when the Kenyan government introduced Free Primary Education (FPE) in 2003, the school roll almost tripled, without the facilities and resources expanding as fast.
Olympic is in the heart of the Kibera slum area, and the FPE programme gave children there a chance to get an education at no cost.
"Some classes have as many as 120 pupils in one room, handled by one teacher," headteacher Caleb Ochieng admitted.
But he said that in spite of the numbers, his school manages to perform just above average in the national examinations.
This is however a far cry from the days when Olympic was known as one of the best performing schools in Kenya.
Mr Ochieng said that without the teachers' hard work the standards could fall further.
"Sometimes you'll find our teachers, even when they are on the road, marking the books.
"During the weekend they are still marking so that by Monday they are done," Mr Ochieng added.
It is estimated that the country needs 80,000 more teachers to make up the shortfall in personnel.
Education Minister Jacob Kaimenyi told the BBC there have been moves to address this.
The government has employed 20,000 teachers in the last two years, and plans to add 5,000 more this year, but this is still not enough.
"This country spends a substantial amount of the national budget on education," Mr Kaimenyi said. "It is almost 28%, and [because of this] some people think education is overfunded."
Most of that money goes to pay teachers.
Faced with a huge shortage of both teachers and space, some schools have had to be creative.
"We converted some of the [special] rooms like the art room, home science room and the Islamic room, where Muslims were being taught Islamic studies, into classrooms," said Peter Kamau, the deputy headteacher at Nairobi's Milimani Primary School.
"Then, we employed Parent-Teacher Association [PTA] teachers, that is teachers who are paid by parents."
"We have about 10 PTA teachers, because the government cannot cope with the demand for teachers needed to implement the [FPE] programme," added Mr Kamau.
Milimani School is in a middle-income neighbourhood, and most of the residents there prefer to send their children to private schools where class sizes are smaller, facilities more developed and performance in national exams generally better than public schools.
In the poorer areas, like Kibera, the government schools are vital in the effort to raise education standards.
"Most of the children here are very needy - some cannot even afford to buy a pencil," Olympic headteacher Mr Ochieng said.
The Ministry of Education says it will continue to press the finance minister for more money.
"We all believe that education is key, it's an equaliser and a basic human right," argued Minister Kaimenyi.
Education researcher Sarah Ruto says many African governments have been willing to introduce basic education for all children.
But critics have argued that even though these programmes enabled more children to go to school, there was a lack of focus on the quality of education.
Ms Ruto says that Kenya performs best in East Africa for literacy and numeracy skills, but still the average pupil is below the expected level for the previous year group.
In Uganda, only 10% of the pupils can read English to the expected level.
Figure like these, Ms Ruto says, means that despite education now being available to more people there is little to celebrate.
The blasts in Sylhet occurred near an apartment building where commandoes have been trying to flush out a group of suspected Islamist militants.
Earlier many civilians were evacuated from the block of flats. The suspects have refused to surrender.
Dozens of people were injured in the twin explosions on Saturday.
The blasts hit a large crowd which had gathered nearby as troops continued to exchange gunfire with the militants.
The first explosive device was brought by two men on a motorbike and the second was left in a bag of vegetables, police say.
So-called Islamic State (IS) claimed on messaging app Telegram that it was behind one of the blasts.
The suspected extremists are hiding out in a five-storey building, from which 78 civilians have been evacuated.
They keep detonating explosives strewn all around the building, the army says.
Police began their siege on Friday morning, the same day that an apparent suicide attack took place near the main airport in Dhaka, the capital.
Only the bomber died, and IS said it was behind the attack. There was another suspected suicide bombing in the Dhaka area on 17 March, which targeted the barracks of an elite police force, injuring two personnel.
A day later, a man was shot dead at a checkpoint of the same force, and police said bombs were found on him.
The escalation in violence comes at a time when many in Bangladesh thought security forces had managed to curb Islamist militancy, following the deadly siege on a café in Dhaka last year.
Since then security personnel have carried out a number of raids, arresting and sometimes killing dozens of suspected Islamists across the country.
But the recent suicide attacks on security camps and checkpoints have surprised many.
Despite claims by the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda, Bangladeshi police maintain that an offshoot of the banned Islamist outfit Jamaeytul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) is responsible for many of these attacks.
The challenge for the security forces is to find out how many more followers or hard line jihadist sympathisers are still in hiding.
If it is proved that Islamist extremists are responsible for the recent handful of suicide bombings, then it marks a new phase in Bangladesh's fight against militancy.
The rise in violence may also trigger concerns among secular activists, religious minorities, academics and bloggers who bore the brunt of the jihadist violence in the past few years.
Steve Smith's masterful 215 underpinned Australia's 566-8 declared and laid a platform from which to attack with the ball.
In an electrifying spell of fast bowling, Mitchell Johnson took two wickets in seven balls as England lost their first four wickets for 30 runs.
On a pitch that remains slow, Alastair Cook and Ben Stokes spared England further embarrassment with an unbroken 55-run stand but they closed on 85-4, still 481 runs in arrears.
England's deficit reflects two days of complete Australia dominance in response to losing the first Test in Cardiff by 169 runs.
Australia, who were 5-0 victors at home in 2013-14, only need to draw the series to retain the Ashes.
With the comfort of a mammoth total behind them, Australia's pacemen could afford to let rip against England batsmen wearied by nearly two days in the field.
And it took only took two balls to land the breakthrough. Adam Lyth, wafting at a wide away-swinger, edged into the gloves of debutant wicketkeeper Peter Nevill.
Gary Ballance paid a high price for having the cheek to drive Johnson's first ball for four as a 90mph yorker cannoned into his off stump.
Ian Bell was bowled by Josh Hazlewood when he tried to work a straight ball to leg, and Joe Root - so often England's saviour in recent times - edged Johnson behind for one.
With the close of play still 19 overs away, Australia sensed an opportunity to all but wrap up the match, but Stokes counter-punched his way to 38 and Cook dug deep to reach 21 by stumps.
In a textbook piece of pre-Ashes sparring, Stuart Broad had suggested that Smith's promotion to number three in Australia's batting order might play into England's hands by exposing him early to the swinging Dukes ball.
Over the course of more than eight hours of batting at the home of cricket, Smith not only answered any lingering questions but dismissed them out of hand.
The 26-year-old, who began his career as a leg-spinning all-rounder and has batted at every position from three to nine, has now scored six centuries in his past eight Tests, with all of them coming in the first innings of the match.
His 346-ball effort at Lord's saw Australia from 78-1 to 533-6 and could well prove pivotal to the destination of the Ashes urn.
While Smith's curve continues its upward trajectory, Michael Clarke's has been heading in the opposite direction.
The Australia captain made a scratchy seven off 32 balls before looping Mark Wood to square leg.
Since scoring back-to-back hundreds in the last Ashes in December 2013, Clarke is averaging just 31 in 24 innings, a worse record than the ousted Shane Watson, who averaged 34 in 20 innings in the same period.
The solution may be to move the skipper back down to number five, where his average of 61.8 is almost twice as high as his mark when batting at four.
Clarke was out in the middle of a slight Australia wobble either side of lunch, which briefly gave England hope of keeping their total below 500.
Broad picked up three wickets as Chris Rogers played on for 173, Adam Voges edged a leg-cutter into Jos Buttler's gloves for 25 and Mitchell Marsh was bowled by an inswinger to leave Australia on 442-5.
If the momentum briefly appeared to be shifting England's way, Smith and Nevill snatched it back with a breezy 91-run partnership.
Both fell in quick succession to Root, with Smith pinned lbw in front of leg stump and Nevill driving on the up to mid-off.
When Johnson perished in similar fashion to give Broad figures of 4-83, it was the cue for Clarke to declare and unleash his bowlers on England's fragile top order.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan on Test Match Special: "A fantastic day for Australia; they are all patting each other on the back. Smith and Rogers were outstanding but Starc got things going with that wicket to get rid of Lyth and then there was the Mitchell Johnson factor. They looked like the old Australian side of a few years ago. They had that menace about them again."
England's Stuart Broad on TMS: "There are no demons in the pitch but we had a ropey 20 minutes. We've still got a chance to bat big. We have to apply ourselves. We've got 16 wickets to play with in this Test and if people get in and play to their game plan, they're going to be hard to get rid of."
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on TMS: "It started Australia's day and finished Australia's day. Steve Smith went on in his uncomplicated way and England haven't worked out the best way to bowl at him."
Australia's Mitchell Johnson on Sky Sports: "England will be having a good night's sleep and digging in. Hopefully they'll play that aggressive brand of cricket they've been talking about and we'll see where that goes."
Staring at defeat they may well be, but England can take some heart from the fact they were 30-4 against New Zealand at Lord's in May but recovered to make 389 and went on to win the Test.
A repeat would avoid the ignominy of following on and significantly lift their chances of escaping with a draw.
The weather could also play a part, with heavy rain forecast to hit Lord's on Sunday.
Former Rotherham Titans hooker Batty, 29, has been with Bath since 2010.
Ex-London Irish prop Lahiff, 27, joined in 2015 and has made 50 Premiership appearances in Blue, Black and White.

Chewing gum and other small packets of sweets are commonly offered instead of small change by shopkeepers according to a police officer who has investigated the thefts.
PC David Walton, of West Mercia Police, said it was a growing problem for supermarkets across the Midlands and North Yorkshire.
On 16 January two Romanian nationals were jailed for stealing £800 worth of chewing gum from stores in Worcester the previous day.
Worcester magistrates ordered Constantin Barbu, 31, and Bogan-Constantin Panait, 23, both from Hounslow in London, to spend seven days in prison after they pleaded guilty to stealing chewing gum from supermarkets.
PC Walton said it was a "widespread problem" with the first case he became aware of happening in April 2011.
He said: "The values we are talking about are £340, £700, £420, £318.
"What they do in effect is they go down the aisles and empty the whole box into their trolley.
"They always have a vehicle outside, they never use public transport and they target stores on retail parks because there is less chance of getting blocked in by traffic, like in the town centres."
He said Sainsburys and Asda stores had particularly been targeted in Shropshire along with a Morrison's store. He said he saw no reason why Tesco would be exempt although the chain had not reported any thefts.
"When we started looking into it the same addresses came up time and time again. They seem to come over for a few weeks and stay with people in London then drive back to Romania with the goods," he said.
Thefts have been reported as far afield as Lincolnshire, Wimbledon, Cambridge and Wiltshire.
Sarah Cordey, spokeswoman for the British Retail Consortium, said the thefts fitted with recent trends they had identified of shoplifting being carried out by "organised criminal gangs".
She said: "It does play into recent trends we've raised that supermarkets are being targeted by more organised criminals often working together.
"It shows retailers are doing a good job at targeting opportunistic thieves stealing the odd item for their own use but there is a hard core left which is often a more serious criminal element.
"Sadly (chewing gum theft) fits into this trend and what's of concern to us is they are more likely to be violent if confronted by staff and are more likely to be responsible for sizable losses because they tend to pre-plan."
Richard Goodchild, who runs the Safer Shrewsbury Pub and Shop Watch Partnership, said at first he thought the problem was just contained to Shropshire.
He said: "I was astounded as I had never come across this before. At first we thought we were the only ones being affected.
"When we raised the issue at the Midlands Retail Crime Partnership forum we felt a bit daft, but when we mentioned it other places said it had happened to them too."
PC Walton and Mr Goodchild are advising stores to reduce the amount of gum they have on display and to heighten their security.
Mr Goodchild said the issue would also be raised at the West Midlands Regional Crime Initiative on Tuesday.
PC Walton said: "There is no market for chewing gum theft in this country, so we are going round making stores aware of it."
Romanian student Ioana Enea, 20, from Moldova, in Eastern Romania, said it was "not uncommon" to receive gum instead of change in her home country.
The digital design student, who is currently studying at the University of Dundee, said: "Bubble gum or other small candies are used as small change but only if the cashier is out of small change and you are asked beforehand if you wish to have a piece of gum instead of currency.
"Usually people use large notes to pay for items and shopkeepers, especially in small shops, don't have much small change and that is why they use gum or candy when they run out of it. This is not an uncommon practice."
It can come as a shock to the uninitiated however.
John Bagley is an engineer from Warwick who started working in Romania in 2010.
He said: "I was given chewing gum at the train station in Bucharest.
"It was a bit of a shock at first. I was just buying some water at one of the little kiosks before I got on the train and had handed over some notes and got given some gum instead of bani [the equivalent of pence in sterling]."
The Ratiu Family Charitable Foundation promotes Romanian culture in Britain.
Ramona Patrica, the foundation's director, said Romanians were not obsessed with chewing gum.
"Chewing gum is not a national sport in Romania or anything like that. I had never heard of this before now, although I think it is quite funny and a bit weird," she added.
The 30-year-old from Peebles made history in September as the first person to win showjumping's grand slam.
Riding Hello Sanctos, he scooped the sport's biggest individual prize of 1m Euros (£725,000).
British Showjumping said they were "naturally extremely disappointed" that he was not nominated for the award.
A social media campaign to have the world number one included in the Sports Personality of Year shortlist has won more than 17,000 supporters.
Brash was part of the four-man jumping team which won gold at the London Olympics in 2012.
This year he had Grand Prix successes in Geneva and Aachen.
He went on to claim the grand slam with victory at Calgary, where he was the only competitor to ride a clean second round inside the time limit.
A spokeswoman for British Showjumping said: "We are naturally extremely disappointed to see that London 2012 team gold medallist Scott Brash's outstanding achievements have not been recognised, not only for him but for the sport as a whole.
"Scott's achievements are unsurpassed; this year alone he has held the world number one spot for eight consecutive months and he has won numerous Grand Prix.
"This is in addition to him securing the Rolex Grand Slam, a feat that many thought impossible."

In an interview with Horse and Hound magazine, Brash said he was "not frustrated" by the decision of the BBC SPOTY panel.
He told the publication: "I'm not frustrated about not being nominated. I focus on my job and it's up to people outside of the sport to take notice."
A spokeswoman for the BBC said the equestrian will be mentioned during the awards ceremony.
She added: "A great many athletes are considered and debated by the panel. The independent, expert panel considered everyone and drew up the shortlist of 12 candidates through consensus agreement."
Earlier this month the BBC awards faced criticism for including boxer Tyson Fury in the shortlist.
Thousands of people signed a petition calling for him to be removed after he spoke out on his views on women and gay people.
BBC director general Tony Hall told the Commons Culture, Media and Sport committee that the shortlist was drawn up by an independent panel and Fury was nominated for his "sporting prowess".
Andy Murray is the bookies' favourite to take home the prize, after helping Great Britain win the Davis Cup.
The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony in Belfast on Sunday.
The second row, an ever-present part of Eddie Jones' England side in 2016, has had minor surgery on an ankle injury.

The provision is for an expected penalty over the sale of financial products linked to risky mortgages before the 2008 financial crisis.
RBS, which is 72% state-owned, has now put £6.7bn aside to cover litigation by the US Department of Justice (DoJ).
It means the bank is set to report a loss for 2016, the ninth year in a row that RBS has lost money.
Chief executive Ross McEwan has been trying to end RBS's legal wrangles so that the government can sell its stake in the bank, which was the result of a £45.5bn bailout during the financial crisis.
Ministers have shelved plans to sell further shares in the lender, in part because of uncertainty over the scale of the potential DoJ fine.
In a statement, Mr McEwan said: "Putting our legacy litigation issues behind us, including those relating to US residential mortgage-backed securities, remains a key part of our strategy.
"It is our priority to seek the best outcome for our shareholders, customers and employees."
RBS's potential US penalty could fall anywhere between $12bn and $20bn, experts say.
It remains to be seen whether the new US administration takes a tougher or more lenient approach to misconduct by European banks.
RBS said it was uncertain about the "duration and outcome" of the investigations into its mortgage selling activities before 2008 - including whether a settlement with the Department of Justice (DoJ) could be reached.
It also said it could face "additional provisions and costs" and that other "adverse consequences may occur".
Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the cost of US litigation was the biggest in a long line of problems for the bank.
"Today's announcement gives the market an additional steer, directly from RBS, as to what the cost of US litigation may be.
"However, the additional provisions will take a toll on the bank's balance sheet, which it was already busy repairing after it failed a Bank of England stress test last November."
He added: "RBS is heading in the right direction, but progress is slow, profitability is elusive, and a return to private ownership is in the long grass."
Most of the big banks have faced litigation over claims they mis-sold toxic mortgage-backed bonds in the run-up to the financial crash.
Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $5.3bn and $7.2bn to settle their respective mis-selling cases in January.
The DoJ is suing Barclays for alleged mortgage securities fraud after the bank walked away from negotiations in December.

In the days that followed, the trial judge rejected evidence from a male prostitute, which lawyers had claimed would illustrate Mr Dewani's motive for murder.
And in the ensuing weeks the credibility of evidence from both the police and Mr Dewani's alleged co-conspirators was called into question.
Judge Jeanette Traverso repeatedly expressed her exasperation at the late preparation of prosecution evidence, stating: "You have had four years to prepare."
At one point, she took prosecution lawyer Adrian Mopp to task, saying: "This is day 20 of the trial and the State is still scurrying around."
Here is an overview of how the prosecution case became unstuck, leading to the collapse of the Shrien Dewani trial.
At the beginning of the trial, Mr Dewani admitted he considered himself bisexual and his relationship with Anni had been volatile. He said she had wanted to call off their wedding.
The BBC's Africa correspondent Karen Allen commented at the time these revelations "may serve to neutralise" some of the press speculation about the case and police statements given by a gay escort, Leopold Leisser, who claimed to have spent time with Mr Dewani.
In the statement, Mr Dewani denied the charges against him, but revealed: "My sexual interactions with males were mostly physical experiences or email chats with people I met online or in clubs; including prostitutes such as Leopold Leisser." Mr Leisser was a key prosecution witness.
This admission was unexpected as Mr Dewani's lawyers had previously written to The Sun newspaper, which paid Mr Leisser for an interview, saying he had never been in contact with him.
It had been the prosecution's intention to argue Mr Dewani was leading a secret double-life and wanted out of his marriage, so arranged a staged hijacking in which his wife was killed.
But email evidence from Mr Dewani's laptop, in which the prosecution said admissions were made about whether he should get married or "come out", was ruled inadmissible by the judge.
She said Mr Dewani's sexuality had been disclosed in his plea explanation and the emails from 2009 had no relevance to the murder in 2010.
Prosecutor Adrian Mopp argued Mr Leisser's evidence should be allowed because Mr Dewani had told him he was either already or about to be engaged and could not find a way out of it without his family disowning him.
But the judge rejected this view.
William Booth, of the South African Law Society, said: "From a tactical perspective, it was important to deal with [Mr Dewani's] sexuality early on.
"At the end of the day, evidence of his sexuality wouldn't have been particularly significant in that if he is gay it's not a reason to kill his wife.
"The issue of motive isn't part of the elements of murder. It's usually used by the prosecution in an instance where the defence later argues no case or reason for someone to behave in a particular way."
Taxi driver Zola Tongo had been billed as the prosecution's strongest witness, the only person to offer direct evidence that Shrien Dewani had offered to pay him to arrange Anni's murder.
He claimed Mr Dewani asked him to arrange the murder after he first picked up the couple from the airport.
But the court was told Tongo had admitted to a fellow convict in prison, Bernard Mitchell, the real plan had been to kidnap Mrs Dewani and hold her hostage and his accomplices had "jeopardised the whole plan".
Mr Dewani's lawyer said to Tongo: "You explained to him... the whole plan went off the rails when... one of them wanted to rape her. A quarrel ensued and she was shot."
The lawyer said Tongo had then told Mitchell he thought about blackmailing Mr Dewani but had been advised it would be better to frame him by telling police he had asked him to kill his wife.
Tongo denied he knew Mitchell and said his account was "all lies" but admitted initially denying involvement in the hijacking before changing his evidence to admit involvement and testify against Mr Dewani.
He said he did this "because what I did was wrong". He was jailed for 18 years, instead of 25, as a result of agreeing to testify.
His version of events also differed from established facts in the case - in phone records and on CCTV.
Tongo said the hijackers did not show up at the agreed time and he had received a text from Mr Dewani asking what was happening. Phone records showed there was no text, however.
He also testified he and Mr Dewani discussed the plan to murder Mrs Dewani while they sitting in his taxi at the hotel. CCTV shows Mr Dewani got out of the car immediately.
Hotel receptionist Monde Mbolombo had admitted putting Tongo in touch with the hitmen and was granted immunity when he agreed to give evidence at the trial of Xoloie Mngeni, who was convicted of firing the shot that killed Mrs Dewani and jailed for life. He died in prison 12 days into Mr Dewani's trial.
However, Mbolombo admitted he had lied during Mngeni's trial when he claimed he did not know those involved in the murder were to receive 15,000 rand.
His testimony also conflicted with phone records and Tongo's evidence.
He said Tongo had received a call from Mr Dewani and kept telling the defendant: "I'm coming." But there was no mobile phone record for any call to Tongo from Mr Dewani at that time.
He also said it had been agreed the hijack would happen after the Dewanis had eaten at a restaurant, but Tongo insisted it was supposed to happen earlier in the evening and the Dewanis only went to the restaurant because the hijackers did not turn up at the agreed time.
Mziwamadoda Qwabe told the court he drove the taxi after he hijacked the vehicle with Mngeni.
He said there was never any discussion over how or where Mrs Dewani would be killed.
The court was also told about about discrepancies in his affidavit and his evidence in court over when the "hit" money was retrieved from the car.
Mr Booth said: "Tongo, Mbolombo and Qwabe were the people this case rested on, in particular Tongo as he was the person who set it all up.
"His evidence is crucial, without him nothing links Dewani to the whole thing.
"But they can't remember things, they contradicted statements they've made to the police and two negotiated plea agreements [for shorter sentences if they testified against Dewani].
"There's been a lot of criticism of the State prosecution, how they dealt with the case. The three most important witnesses let the State down.
"My concern is why, in the witness box, were there contradictions and poor evidence? It should have been checked out long before."
Evidence on where the fatal shot was fired from was important because Mr Dewani's lawyers argued Qwabe was the actual shooter and that, if this was true, this meant he lied during Mngeni's trial.
However, Warrant Officer Pieter Engelbrecht revealed the tests had been conducted in a different model vehicle in September 2014 and then in the original vehicle, but with different seats, during the month of the trial.
Mr Engelbrecht had testified in Mngeni's trial that the shooter had sat in the left front seat but in Mr Dewani's trial he agreed he did not have the necessary evidence to say that.
He said he still did not know which hand the shooter had used or where he was positioned and the original car seats had been unavailable as they were already court exhibits.
Defence lawyer Pieter Botha said Mr Engelbrecht's testimony was "a very clear indication that you are miles away from giving objective evidence".
Mr Botha said the front seat in the "similar" vehicle was tilted back and the back seat tilted forward and suggested this arrangement was made to suit what he wanted to prove.
Mr Engelbrecht said this was not his intention.
The prosecution had also introduced Mr Engelbrecht as a primer residue expert, but he said he was not and the judge did not allow him to give evidence on that matter.
The impartiality and credibility of investigating officer Captain Paul Hendrikse was called into question by defence lawyer Francois van Zyl.
Mr van Zyl read to the court an entry Cpt Hendrikse had written on Facebook after Mr Dewani's extradition was initially denied in the UK.
He said: "Human rights?? Mental Health act? Fair trial? Are these just escape routes to avoid justice and have the learned people of our society been so misled by it that they make decisions hurting the victims of horrendous crimes even further. What has our world become?? I'm lost and slowly loosing [sic] faith."
Mr van Zyl also noted the officer was "friends" with Sneha and Mishma Hindocha [Mrs Dewani's cousins] on Facebook but Cpt Hendrikse insisted he remained impartial.
The police had originally stated the weapon used was a Rossi revolver but later said it was a Norinco pistol. This was changed without a correction affidavit and Cpt Hendrikse agreed "this should not have been done in this way".
The results of gun residue tests were also not made available to prosecutors in August 2014, despite having been carried out years earlier.
Cpt Hendrikse said this was an oversight but the judge was critical, saying: "This happened four years ago, police have had four years to investigate. After they have gone to all the trouble to get Shrien Dewani extradited, this should have been done."
Mr Booth said: "I think there were problems with the police investigation.
"Evidence with regard to where they were seated in the car and what happened with the firing of the firearm, that evidence came in very late."
Green Party councillor Gus Hoyt stood down on Monday after it was revealed he used a four-letter expletive in an exchange over a city farm project.
Mr Ferguson said it was a private exchange between two people who knew each other well.
Mr Hoyt will be replaced by Daniella Radice in the council's cabinet.
He had used the swearword in a private Twitter message to Steve Glover who was lobbying for more land to expand the Severn Project city farm scheme.
Mr Glover then posted the message publicly on his own Twitter account.
In his statement, Mr Ferguson, an independent, thanked Mr Hoyt for his dedication and hard work.
"I know the Severn Project has referenced my support for their good work, but I should be clear that it has been to a large extent as a result of Gus championing their cause," he said.
"I also know that Gus has been mercilessly taunted on Twitter over several issues in recent months.
"I think anyone would appreciate the frustration which led to his response and that this was a private exchange between two people who knew each other well."
Woodyard joined Lincoln from Braintree on a 12-month deal in June 2016.
The 23-year-old has made 41 appearances for the Imps, including seven games during their run to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Lincoln are five points clear of Dagenham and Redbridge at the top of the table, with two games in hand.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing headed the impressive hosts in front in a frenetic first half.
They dominated the second too, Kenneth Zohore tearing through the visitors' defence to set up Junior Hoilett for Cardiff's second.
Mendez-Laing then whipped in a fine third goal to take the Bluebirds top of the table after two games.
Cardiff appeared to be fitter and sharper in the early stages of this campaign, seemingly benefitting from Neil Warnock's gruelling pre-season regime in his first full term in charge.
They set an electrifying tempo in the first half, with Loic Damour and Zohore both forcing Sam Johnstone into saves as Villa struggled to get a foothold in the game.
Cardiff's pressure told when Hoilett's deep cross to the back post found boyhood Birmingham City fan Mendez-Laing, who rose above a static Villa defence to nod in.
The visitors could have fallen further behind had Wales defender Neil Taylor not cleared Damour's shot off the line, and they were booed off at half-time by some of their travelling supporters.
Villa boss Steve Bruce might have thought his team talk had worked when James Chester had a header pushed on to the crossbar after the interval.
But that chance was not representative of what the second half would entail for Villa.
They were run ragged by Zohore, the muscular Cardiff forward running through the heart of the visiting defence and squaring the ball to Hoilett, who converted into an empty net from close range.
Mendez-Laing then struck his third goal in two games in spectacular fashion, wrong-footing Chester with a series of step-overs before curling the ball into the far corner.
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock:
"It's why I'm in football really. Excitement, chances and saves, oohs and ahhs.
"I know Steve will be disappointed. We possibly played them at the right time because, with the quality they've got, he'll turn that around.
"But I'm delighted to get the three points. We competed well and we looked really sharp at times."
Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce:
"It was on the edge of embarrassment, if I'm being brutally honest.
"It's a rude awakening for us, very early again. Arguably that's the biggest doing I can remember having in the Championship.
"We didn't do enough of the basics. We looked fragile every time they broke on us."

Their bodies were then hung from electricity poles in several districts, the office of the UN Human Rights Commissioner said, citing sources.
A man was also reportedly shot dead in public in central Mosul for ignoring an IS ban on using mobile phones.
Iraqi security forces are continuing their push to take Mosul back from IS.
The killings of the civilians appeared to have been carried out on the orders of self-appointed "courts", according to the UN report.
The 40 civilians were accused of "treason and collaboration" and dressed in orange clothes marked in red with the words "traitors and agents of the ISF" (Iraqi Security Forces).
The UN says 20 civilians were also shot dead on Wednesday evening at the Ghabat military base in northern Mosul, supposedly for leaking information.
The UN also expressed concern at IS's deployment of teenagers and young boys. Children are apparently seen in an IS video issued on Wednesday shooting dead four people for spying.
IS also announced on 6 November that it had beheaded seven militants for deserting the battlefield in the Kokjali district of eastern Mosul, the UN says.
Among the sources cited for the UN's information was a man who played dead during a mass killing by IS fighters.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad al-Hussein called for the government to "act quickly to restore effective law enforcement in areas retaken from ISIL [IS] to ensure that captured fighters and their perceived supporters are dealt with according to the law".
Large quantities of ammonia and sulphur, for possible use in chemical weapons, is being stockpiled by IS and stored near civilians, the UN said.
Pro-government forces launched an offensive to retake Mosul last month. The city has been occupied by IS since 2014.
The operation, now into its fourth week, involves some 50,000 Iraqi security forces personnel, soldiers, police, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, Sunni Arab tribesmen and Shia militiamen.
Troops have reportedly been consolidating gains made in the eastern outskirts of Mosul, which they entered nine days ago amid fierce resistance.
There have also been allegations of atrocities committed by government forces.
Amnesty International reported on Thursday that men dressed in Iraqi federal police uniforms tortured and killed up to six residents of villages south of Mosul for having suspected ties to IS.
The federal police deny involvement.
The six-time Olympic champion returns to the track where he won triple gold at the 2012 London Olympics to take part in the event from 22-23 July.
London, which is part of the IAAF Diamond League Series, will host Bolt's final race before Rio 2016.
The 29-year-old retained his 100m, 200m and 4x100m titles at the Beijing World Championships in 2015.
The controversial proposals would appoint a single person - usually a teacher or health visitor - to look out for the welfare of every child.
But the Supreme Court ruled that part of the legislation relating to data sharing breached human rights laws.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the necessary changes to the scheme would be made.
Mr Swinney told the BBC: "What the government is going to do is to consider carefully the judgement of the Supreme Court, which requires us to make some changes to the information sharing arrangements of the named person scheme.
"Then we will proceed to implement the named person scheme, which the Supreme Court judged to be unquestionably legitimate."
Campaigners against named person appealed to the Supreme Court in London after their case was dismissed as "hyperbole" by the Court of Session in Edinburgh last year.
They have described named person as a "state snooper" scheme that would undermine parents and divert resources away from the most vulnerable children.
But the Scottish government accused opponents of misrepresenting the proposals, and insisted they would help to protect vulnerable children while giving a single point of contact for parents who needed help or advice.
In its ruling, Supreme Court judges allowed the campaigners' appeal and said the legislation made it "perfectly possible" that confidential information about a young person could be disclosed to a "wide range of public authorities without either the child or young person or her parents being aware".
This meant that the data sharing part of the legislation was "incompatible with the rights of children, young persons and parents" under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which deals with the right to privacy and a family life.
But the judges also said that the purpose of the legislation was "unquestionably legitimate and benign" and gave Scottish ministers "an opportunity to correct the defects".
Mr Swinney said named person was an "important scheme that is designed to support the wellbeing of young people in Scotland, to provide them with the support when they require it".
He added: "It has been very broadly supported by the Scottish Parliament, and it will be taken forward by the Scottish government."
The scheme was originally to be rolled-out across the country by 31 August, but the Supreme Court ruling means that will not now be possible.
However, BBC Scotland understands that the government is hopeful the legislation can be relatively easily redrafted to make it fully compliant with the ECHR, and that it could potentially be introduced before the end of the year assuming the changes are approved by the Scottish Parliament.
Lawyer Elaine Motion, who represented The Christian Institute and six other petitioners in the legal challenge, said: "This is a highly significant and extremely unusual judgement. Successful challenges to legislation are very rare.
"In layman's terms, the Supreme Court has said that the Scottish Government has overstepped the line drawn by Article 8 to protect and respect private and family life."
The Christian Institute co-ordinated the successful legal action, with its director Colin Hart saying: "This ruling is crystal clear that the named person scheme's cavalier approach to handling private information is unlawful and must not happen."
Simon Calvert, spokesman for the No to Named Persons (NO2NP) campaign group, claimed: "The Big Brother scheme is history.
"It's wonderful news for mums, dads and children all across Scotland who no longer have to worry about this unjustified invasion of their private lives."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said the "important ruling by the most senior court in the land" was a "victory for campaigners who have exposed this from the outset as illiberal, invasive and deeply-flawed".
She added: "We have consistently argued against the named person legislation on grounds of principle and practicality. I hope today's ruling will make the SNP stop and think again."
The Scottish government wants Scotland to be "the best place in the world for children to grow up".
It has said that most children and young people get all the help and support they need from their parents, wider family and community, but sometimes they might need a bit of extra support.
As part of its Getting it Right for Every Child strategy, the government proposed giving all children and young people from birth to 18 years access to a named person under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014.
The Scottish government says the named person is intended to be single point of contact if a child or their parents want information or advice, or if they want to talk about any worries and seek support.
They will also be a point of contact for other services if they have any concerns about a child's wellbeing.
The law had been due to come into force across the country on 31 August of this year, although the policy had already been rolled out in parts of Scotland, including Highland, Edinburgh, Fife, Angus and South Ayrshire.
Mr Swinney said the government would start work to amend the legislation "immediately", so that the scheme can still be rolled out "at the earliest possible date".
He welcomed the judgement as a sign that "the attempt to scrap the named person service has failed".

Labour is broadly in favour of named person in principle, but has previously called for a "pause" to ensure it is introduced "properly and proportionally".
Education spokesman Iain Gray said the handling of the scheme had been "a shambles from the very beginning".
He said: "Labour will always support the need to protect vulnerable children and ensure that families get the support they need and deserve.
"In light of this ruling, however, the implementation of this scheme must be paused for as long as it takes to sort it properly. That is the case Scottish Labour have made for many months now and it is more compelling than ever following the court decision."
Ross Greer of the Scottish Greens said his party would continue to give its full support to named person, but called on the Scottish government to do more to build public confidence and better explain what the scheme means in practice.
The Scottish Liberal Democrats submitted a motion calling for parliament to be urgently recalled.
Education spokesman Tavish Scott said: "A recall of parliament is the only way to ensure that reforms receive the scrutiny required. This is not a decision for a minority minister to make in his office. It needs full parliamentary approval."
Three penalties from Marc Sneyd gave the Black and Whites a 6-2 lead at the break in an error-strewn game, with Sam Williams slotting Wakefield's penalty.
Scott Grix gathered his own kick to score on his debut to give the hosts the lead in the second half.
But new boy Jake Connor collected Sneyd's kick with 12 minutes to go as the Challenge Cup holders won.
They finished third last season but were beaten in the play-off semi-final by eventual champions Wigan, and ground out an opening day win in difficult wet and muddy conditions at Belle Vue.
The loss is Wakefield's eighth in a row in the top flight as they lost all seven games during the Super 8s, after they finished eighth in Super League last season.
Albert Kelly and Josh Griffin also made their first appearances for Hull FC with Williams, Craig Huby and Kyle Wood making their Trinity debuts.
Wakefield head coach Chris Chester:
"I think both teams need commending as completion rates were up around the 75% mark and in those atrocious conditions, I think both teams need a round of applause.
"It was a tough game out there with two physical teams and two tries off kicks, there wasn't much between the two.
"We're obviously disappointed that we've conceded late on but we just need to be a little bit smarter."
Hull FC head coach Lee Radford told BBC Radio Humberside:
"I'm really, really pleased with how disciplined we were and stuck to what we were doing.
"We spoke about this performance all week due to the conditions and this time of year and the footy that you play, ultimately we made sure we had the patience to snag a try.
"One of Marc Sneyd's temptations is to chase the game and overplay but I thought he was patient and that's a really good sign for us."

Mr Hickey, 71, is suspected of being involved in a scheme to sell tickets for higher than their face value.
He was taken to hospital as a precaution, and will probably stay the night there, police said.
The Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) said he had stood down temporarily from his roles after being arrested.
Brazilian police said that when officers went to Mr Hickey's hotel room on Wednesday morning, they found his wife there with his Olympic credentials.
Mrs Hickey told them her husband had left Rio de Janeiro for Ireland at the weekend, they said.
With the help of the hotel they began a search and found Mr Hickey in the room next door, they added.
While police said they had reason to believe he was trying to escape, a video apparently of the arrest on the ESPN Brazil sports news website shows Mr Hickey answering the door naked to officers.
Police said the arrest was related to that of fellow Irishman Kevin James Mallon on the day of the Olympic opening ceremony.
More than 700 tickets organised in envelopes clearly marked for sale were found in a safe with Mr Mallon, Detective Ricardo Barbosa told the BBC.
Police estimate the potential profits of the alleged scheme at 10m reals (£2.4m; $3.1m).
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it would co-operate with any police investigation.
Irish broadcaster RTE reports that Mr Hickey faces three potential charges: facilitating ticket touting, forming a cartel, and "ambush" or illicit marketing.
In an interview with RTE last week, Mr Hickey denied any wrongdoing in relation to ticket sales.
A spokesman for Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade told the BBC: "We are aware of an Irish citizen having been arrested in Rio. The department, through its consulate in Rio, is following up and stands ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance."
Sports minister Shane Ross, who is in Rio and who met Mr Hickey at the weekend to discuss the ticket sales allegations, tweeted simply: "Shell shock here in Rio."
He later said he was returning to Dublin as quickly as possible for crisis talks.
Mr Hickey is president of the European Olympic Committees, the body which gathers the continent's 50 national Olympic committees together.
His passport and Olympic ID were seized and were later displayed to photographers at the press conference.
His arrest is the biggest move yet by police investigating the selling of tickets on the black market.
Mr Mallon is the director of THG Sports, a British sports hospitality company alleged to have resold tickets for Rio 2016 illegally.
Police suspect the tickets found with him when he was arrested on 5 August were to be sold at prices of up to £6,000 ($7,800) each.
THG Sports said Mr Mallon had not sold or sought to sell tickets but had been holding them for collection by clients of the authorised Irish ticket reseller, Pro 10 Management.
But Detective Barbosa told the BBC that investigators believed "Pro 10 was created as a means for acquiring tickets to be resold by THG" as the Irish Olympic Committee had wanted THG to sell tickets for Rio 2016, he alleged.
THG Sports is owned by Marcus Evans Group, which also owns Ipswich Town Football Club.
Marcus Evans was one of four names on a list of arrest warrants issued by a Brazilian judge on Monday in connection with the alleged reselling of Rio 2016 tickets.
None of those four people is thought to be in Brazil and police there have said they will pursue the matter with Interpol.
A further three arrest warrants were issued on Wednesday, Brazilian police said, for directors of Pro 10 Management.
The OCI has said it will launch an inquiry into the ticket sale controversy but has been criticised for rejecting a call by the Irish sports minister to bring in independent investigators.
Last week, the OCI wrote on its website there was "absolutely no suggestion of misconduct or impropriety" by the OCI or any of its staff.
The 46-year-old faces two charges relating to the 2011 purchase, one of fraud and another under the Companies Act.
He has pleaded not guilty to both allegations.
A scheduled start date for the trial at the High Court in Glasgow was pushed back on Tuesday, with preparations taking place at the court.
Mr Whyte was not in attendance.
His defence team, including Donald Findlay QC, and the prosecution lead, Advocate Depute Alex Prentice QC, were in Glasgow ahead of the trial before judge Lady Stacey.
His family said he died peacefully in his sleep.
Vigoda played Sal Tessio, an old friend of Marlon Brando's Don Corleone, who plots to take over the family after the Don's death by killing his son.
The role made him recognisable to millions and led to many more roles, including as detective Phil Fish in the 1970s TV series Barney Miller.
His most memorable line in The Godfather comes just before his character Tessio is taken to his death, when he tells family adviser Tom Hagen: "Tell Mike it was only business. I always liked him."
Before the Godfather films Vigoda had worked in relative obscurity in TV and on the New York theatre circuit.
Many of his later roles were as gangsters, but in Barney Miller he became much-loved in the comedy role and in 1977 his character got his own series, focusing on domestic life.
He also appeared in films such as Cannonball Run II, Look Who's Talking and North.
Towards the end of his life, he often appeared on lists of living celebrities believed to have died and he played along with the hoaxes on TV chat show appearances.
Vigoda was married twice and is survived by a daughter from his first marriage, two grandchildren and a great-grandson.
Leicester's Zimbabwe-born flanker Mike Williams is included, as is Wasps' Fiji-born back-rower Nathan Hughes.
Harlequins' 20-year-old centre Joe Marchant, Wasps' Dan Robson, Sale's Josh Beaumont and Worcester's Ben Te'o are the other uncapped players.
And there is a surprise return for Gloucester number eight Ben Morgan.
The back row forward has not played for England since the World Cup last year.
The 37-man squad will gather in Brighton on Sunday for a three-day camp, with the final squad to be announced on 26 October.
England's first game of the autumn series is against South Africa on Saturday, 12 November, before matches against Fiji, Argentina and Australia.
With James Haskell and Jack Clifford ruled out by injury, Wasps flanker Jones is now a prime contender to play at open-side against the Springboks.
"We're not looking for your traditional seven [open-side flanker] because at the moment we don't have that in England," said Jones.
"We're looking for a more destructive, defensive-type player like a Haskell, so Sam Jones and Mike Williams come into that category."
Haskell will attend the camp but will not train as he continues his recovery from the toe injury that finally gave up on him in the second-Test win against Australia this summer.
Saracens' fly-half Alex Lozowski has been included in a wider 45-man Elite Player Squad, but will be not be part of next week's training camp.
Northampton back rower Teimana Harrison and Exeter back Ollie Devoto will both be involved in the camp next week, but have not been named in the Elite Player Squad.
Captain and hooker Dylan Hartley and fly-half/inside centre Owen Farrell, who are both injury concerns as they are yet to return to action as they recover from back problems, will attend the training squad.
"Owen's injury is one of those where you never really know how long it's going to take to repair," said Jones.
"But he is the sort of player who can come back very quickly. He needs only a small amount of game time, so we're still confident he can be ready for November."
Notable absentees from the 45-man elite squad include Tom Youngs, Tom Wood, Luther Burrell and Danny Cipriani.
"They're are some disappointed players out there but it's not the end of the road for those guys," said Jones.
Expanding on Cipriani's omission, Jones said: "It was a difficult conversation. Danny knows what he's got to do. He's a talented player but at the moment he's not number one or two in England in terms of stand-offs.
"I don't see him as someone who comes in as [third or fourth choice]. He likes to be the main man. When he plays well enough, he'll be in the squad."
Jones also confirmed that England Under-20 backs and attack coach Rory Teague will join his staff in November as a part-time skills coach.

"The 45-man Elite Player Squad is a type of legal agreement between the Rugby Football Union and Premiership clubs, and so it includes long-term injured players such as Haskell, Tuilagi and Clifford.
"Of far more relevance ahead of the autumn internationals is the 37-man training squad. All these players are fit - or nearly fit - for selection, and barring further injury it's from this group of players that Eddie Jones will select his matchday squad to take on South Africa." CJ

If the 33-year-old wins at Glasgow's Hydro Arena on Saturday night, he would become the first Scot to win world titles at three different weights.
Only two British boxers - Duke McKenzie and Bob Fitzsimmons - have achieved the feat before.
"I'm just trying to block all this out just now," said the Coatbridge fighter.
"I don't really bother about stuff like that. As long as I'm fighting, that's the main thing.
"When the fight was announced, I knew the size of it, especially because we'd been away from Glasgow for so long, and you're not going to get a bigger incentive than a third world title at a third weight.
"Whether it was this fight or my debut with four and six-rounders, whenever I'm training, I always give it everything.
"Although the last couple of years I've been on the road, boxing down south quite a bit, out in Texas as well, as long as I was fighting that was the main thing for me.
"Eddie [Hearn, his promoter] had always said that he wanted to come back to Glasgow, but it would have to be for the right fight. We've jumped at the chance, so here we are again."
Burns is a former WBO super-featherweight and lightweight champion, and faces Di Rocco for the vacant WBA super-lightweight title.
The Italian is unbeaten in seven years, and has held the European title for the last three years, but has fought abroad only once. With around 8,000 tickets sold for Saturday night, a partisan home crowd will be rooting for Burns.
"I don't know if he's going to be one of those fighters who caves in, I don't know how he's going to feel when he comes out and 8,000 fans are booing him," Burns said.
"We'll soon find out. But once that first bell goes, I tend to block it all out.
"He's only fought outside Italy once. My attitude to boxing is that a fight's a fight. We've trained for a hard 12 rounds and we know it's going to be tough.
"I've watched two or three of his fights and I know Tony [Sim, his trainer] has been doing a lot of watching as well. I'm 100% confident we're going to go out here and do a job."
Hearn believes that the show, which includes Willie Limond challenging Tyrone Nurse for his British super-featherweight title, will showcase the best of Scottish boxing.
Commonwealth Games gold medallist Charlie Flynn and Gorbals boxer Joe Ham are also on the undercard, and Hearn believes that they can benefit from Burns' efforts at world level.
"I feel a bit for Ricky, because every time he fights in Scotland he's got the weight of Scottish boxing on his shoulders," Hearn says.
"People like Charlie Flynn and Joe Ham are sitting there with their fingers crossed saying, 'Please Ricky, win'. If Ricky wins, we come back in October. You've got so many good young fighters coming through, but also the older generation in Ricky and Willie Limond.
"It's been nearly two years since we've been in Scotland promoting shows and we've missed it.
"Since I told [Burns] he was going to be boxing in Glasgow again, he hasn't stopped smiling. Even during those early morning hill sprints, he's been smiling. If he can get the job done, it's going to be a special night."
Elliot Lord wants to see his beds given to street sleepers and refugees across the country. So far about 12 beds have been handed out in Wolverhampton.
Mr Lord, of Our Own Future project, said: "I wanted to do something for homeless people who have a lack of opportunities and support."
The beds are made from interlocking pieces of strong card.
The bed had been well-received by homeless people who trialled it in Wolverhampton, he said.
"They basically said it was the best sleep they had ever had on the streets and they didn't have the pain from sleeping on the ground," he said.
Birmingham University students who assembled the beds in a workshop also backed the design.
Chemical engineering student Nigel Chow said they were "really comfortable and stable".
"It's actually quite innovative to be able to turn this cardboard around that people would throw out and turn that into things people can really use and really benefit the homeless," he said.
Student Paymann Tahamtan said cutting the card had been "relatively difficult" but the bed was "wonderfully made".
Mr Lord hopes a permanent workshop where homeless people could collect beds will be set up.

A total of 37,105 complaint cases were recorded in 2014-15, figures from the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) show.
The numbers show a 6% rise in the amount of complaints made in 2013-14, with the figures reaching a record high for the second year running.
The most common complaint made was for "neglect or failure in duty".
The IPCC said a survey conducted last year showed public satisfaction following contact with the police was falling, and there was a greater willingness to complain.
The figures also found:
Home Secretary Theresa May announced an independent review of the IPCC's structure and governance in August.
Dame Anne Owers, chairwoman of the IPCC, said the figures showed a complaints system that was "both over-complex and inconsistent, and is clearly failing to satisfy a significant number of complainants".
She said: "We welcome the fact that the government proposes to bring in legislation to simplify and streamline a system that at present satisfies neither those who need it nor those who have to operate it."
Deputy Chief Constable Alan Goodwin, who is the national lead for complaints, added: "We police by public consent so it is always disappointing when somebody is unhappy with the service they have received.
"The system for handling complaints is complex and leads to inconsistencies between forces. The system is being reviewed with the aim improving it for those with a complaint and the forces handling it."
The number of complaints made to the watchdog marks the most it has received since it started collecting data in 2004-05.
A regional breakdown showed that Staffordshire Police recorded the greatest annual jump in complaints, with a 66% rise from 310 in 2013-14 to 516 in 2014-15.
The Metropolitan Police, the UK's largest force, had the highest overall number of complaints with 6,828. However, this number was down by 4% on the previous year.
Alex Duncan, professional standards lead at the Police Federation of England and Wales, said he was "concerned by the length of time it can take to resolve complaints".
However, he said, while the number of complaints was rising, the number of those actually upheld remained relatively low.
Policing minister Mike Penning said: "At the moment, as these figures show, it [system of complaints] is too often complex, opaque and unresponsive to complainants and officers."

A week of coverage by BBC News examining possible solutions to the problems caused by air pollution.
If you have any questions about the BBC's cycling coverage please first consult our main FAQs page.
Nicola Shaw, its executive director, said technological advances will reduce the need to build new conventional power stations in the UK.
An "internet of energy" will allow fridges, washers and dishwashers to help balance energy demand.
Some commentators say the UK needs more gas-fired power to prevent blackouts.
Ms Shaw agreed that more investment in gas-fired power was needed, but argued that between 30% and 50% of fluctuations on the electricity grid could be smoothed by households and businesses adjusting their demand at peak times.
"We are at a moment of real change in the energy industry. From an historic perspective we created energy in big generating organisations that sent power to houses and their businesses. Now we are producing energy in those places - mostly with solar power," she told BBC News.
London-listed National Grid runs electricity and gas networks in the UK and the northeastern United States.
More and more people and companies were adjusting their energy consumption to use more when power was at its cheapest, Ms Shaw said.
"All of that is a real revolution … a smart energy revolution that's changing the way we think about energy across the country," she said.
This change was being driven by people and firms generating energy, storing it and using it flexibly through new controls and online software.
The move toward flexible energy use is supported by the National Infrastructure Commission. And the advances in energy software are described by the World Energy Council as the biggest change in 21st Century energy - along with solar power.
Price signals to consumers will be key to the change, as the UK relies on increasing amounts of intermittent renewable energy.
Already some firms benefit from using extra power when it is cheaper off-peak. That trend is spreading to households: a firm in Cornwall is offering a "sunshine tariff" that aims to persuade households to use cheap solar power when the sun is out, for example.
Energy experts say that in future consumers will be able to ask for their appliances to be connected online to the grid.
A signal could then turn on, say, a washing machine, when there was plentiful energy from wind power, or turn off a freezer for a few minutes to smooth out a spike in demand at teatime.
Prof Phil Taylor, professor of energy systems at Newcastle University, said: "People are used to the idea that they pay more for using the trains at peak time, or they queue more if they use the roads at rush hour.
"Technology has enabled us to bring this price flexibility to energy consumers. No-one will be forced to link their home to the energy internet, but if they do choose to use it, it will save them money, save pollution and save power stations needing to be built."
The challenge for National Grid is to attract more companies to adopt what is known as "demand-side response", or DSR. Some firms are nervous, others have not heard of it - and business models are changing at breakneck speed.
Ms Shaw acknowledged that some were anxious about the lights going out as the smart energy revolution progressed.
However, she said: "I don't think people should fret. There's an awareness of the issues. There's lots of activity on the market that will solve this problem. Be enthusiastic - it's a moment of change that should take us to a better place."
In response, the GMB union called National Grid "naively complacent". Justin Bowden, its national secretary, said: "Avoiding winter blackouts with a 'smart energy' revolution is fanciful nonsense. The smart grid is years away.
"What's needed to guarantee the lights stay on over the coming winters are new power stations and the go-ahead for Hinkley Point C."
But the CBI's head of infrastructure, Michelle Hubert, said: "Over the next decade, the UK's energy system will see a profound shift towards a more flexible and dynamic system. Consumers - both businesses and households - will become much more engaged in how they use, manage, and even produce energy.
"This will play an important role in supporting the UK's transition to a diverse energy mix, helping to meet our goals of affordable, low-carbon and secure energy across the country."
The big questions are how far smart technology can ease the burden on the grid and how quickly it can make its mark.
Deepa Venkateswaran, from Bernstein energy analysts, said: "The smart grid revolution is going to be exciting. However, there's a time frame - we need some time to get wired up and respond dynamically, but in the short term we need new gas stations to replace some of our ageing coal stations which are going to close."
Ms Shaw agrees with the need for new gas power, but is wary of committing to new power stations while technology is producing unexpected improvements at a sharp pace.
The issue is central to the UK's laws on cutting greenhouse gases. Under Ms Venkateswaran's scenario, the UK will be locked into generating gas-fired electricity until well into the 2030s. This would wreck the government's target of ending gas-fired generation in the early years of that decade.
Ministers are working on a long-term climate strategy, which was promised for last November but is now not expected until sometime before the end of this year.
The pressure is on the new Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to devise policies that will both keep the lights on and bills affordable - as well as carbon emissions down.

They would travel trillions of miles; far further than any previous craft.
A $100m (£70m) research programme to develop the computer chip-sized "starships" was launched by the billionaire Yuri Milner, supported by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Interstellar travel has long been a dream for many, but significant technological hurdles remain.
But Prof Hawking told BBC News that fantasy could be realised sooner than we might think.
"If we are to survive as a species we must ultimately spread out to the stars," he said.
"Astronomers believe that there is a reasonable chance of an Earth-like planet orbiting one of the stars [in] the Alpha Centauri system. But we will know more in the next two decades from ground based and space based telescopes.
"Technological developments in the last two decades and the future make it possible in principle within a generation."
Prof Hawking is backing a project by Mr Milner's Breakthrough Foundation, a private organisation funding scientific research initiatives that government funders think to be too ambitious.
The organisation has brought together an expert group of scientists to assess whether it might be possible to develop spaceships capable of travelling to another star within a generation and sending information back.
The nearest star system is 40 trillion km (25 trillion miles) away. Using current technology it would take about 30,000 years to get there.
The expert group concluded that with a little more research and development it might be possible to develop spacecraft that could cut that journey time to just 30 years.
"I'd have said that even a few years ago travel to another star at that kind of speed would not be possible," said Dr Pete Worden, who is leading the project. He is chairman of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation and a former director of Nasa's Ames Research Center in California.
"But the expert group figured out that because of developments in technology there appears to be a concept that appears to work."
The concept is to reduce the size of the spacecraft to about the size of a chip used in electronic devices. The idea is to launch a thousand of these mini-spacecraft into the Earth's orbit. Each would have a solar sail.
This is like a sail on a boat - but it is pushed along by light rather than the wind. A giant laser on Earth would give each one a powerful push, sending them on their way to reaching 20% of the speed of light.
It sounds like science fiction but Yuri Milner, who was named after Yuri Gagarin by his parents, believes that it is technically possible to develop these spacecraft and get to another star within our lifetimes.
"The human story is one of great leaps," he said. "Fifty-five years ago today, Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Today, we are preparing for the next great leap - to the stars."
There are many problems to be overcome before the first spaceships capable of going to other stars are built. These include miniaturising cameras, instruments and sensors so they fit on a chip, developing a solar sail strong enough to be blasted by a powerful laser for several minutes and find a way to get pictures and information of the new star system back to Earth.
Prof Sir Martin Sweeting, who is a researcher at the Surrey Space Centre and head of Surrey Satellite Technology in Guildford, wants to be involved in the project.
He founded a company 30 years ago that reduced the size and cost of satellites.
"A lot of what we did in the 1980s was considered very wacky but now small satellites are considered all the fashion. This (project to go to another star) is currently a wacky sounding idea but technologies have moved on and now it is not wacky it's just difficult," he told BBC News.
Prof Andrew Coates of the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, which is part of University CollegeLondon, agreed that the project would be challenging, but not impossible.
"There would be significant difficulties to solve such as ruggedisation for the space radiation and dust environment, instrument sensitivity, interaction of the high power accelerating laser with the Earth's atmosphere, spacecraft stabilisation and power provision.
"But it is a concept worth looking at to see if we could really reach another star system within a human lifetime."
But Prof Hawking believes that what was once a distant dream can and must become a reality within 30 years.
"There are no greater heights to aspire to than the stars. It is unwise to keep all our eggs in one fragile basket," he told BBC News.
"Life on Earth faces dangers from astronomical events like asteroids or supernovas".

No heat wave - that's for sure - but there have been plenty of showers.
The result of showers will often mean pretty rainbows to look at.
So how does a rainbow form?
A rainbow is an arc-shaped spectrum of light caused by the reflection of sunlight in water droplets. The sun's rays hit the water droplet which reflects some of the light back.
The water droplets are usually rain drops, but could also be spray from a waterfall, a fountain, or even fog.
To see a rainbow, you must have the sun shining behind you and the water droplets in front of you.
Sunlight is made up of a spectrum of different colours that look white when we see them all mixed together.
These colours get reflected by slightly different angles inside the raindrop, so they get spread out.
This is why we see the familiar colours of the rainbow which of course we all remember from school science classes ROYGBIV - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Sometimes we can see a second, larger, rainbow outside the main one. This is called a secondary rainbow. It is formed by rays of light that are reflected inside the raindrop twice.
If you look carefully, you will see that the extra reflection means that the colours in the secondary rainbow are in the opposite order to the first, or primary, rainbow.
The secondary rainbow is also less bright because the light is being spread over a larger area of the sky.
Although quite rare, it is possible to see a rainbow at night.
If the moon is shining brightly enough, light can be reflected through water droplets in the same way that a rainbow is created.
As the moon is much less bright than the sun, moon bows are much fainter than day-time rainbows.
Almost 1,800 athletes are taking part in the contest on Sunday, along with an estimated 10,000 spectators.
It is the last Ironman Wales to be held in Tenby under the current five-year term.
Pembrokeshire council said talks were being held to try to retain the event.
Ironman Wales and the Long Course Weekend - a separate three-day triathlon held in the county earlier in the summer - have grown in popularity and are now said to be worth millions to the local economy.
Concerns have been expressed about the safety of the cycling route after a collision between a cyclist and a van at the Long Course Weekend in July left the rider seriously injured.
But organisers Activity Wales Events said they were talking to the relevant authorities about the possibility of introducing traffic controls on parts of the route in 2016 and they may consider introducing road markings in the long term.
Officers put out an urgent appeal on Wednesday evening to say Amelia Jones was missing in Fairwater, Cwmbran.
But she was found a short time later.
A Gwent Police spokeswoman said on Thursday: "She was found safe and well, playing hide and seek in a front garden, totally unbeknown to the home owner."
The creator and star of BBC One's Mrs Brown's Boys said one of the films would focus on Rory and his screen husband Dino and their hair salon.
Entitled Wash and Blow, it would see O'Carroll play salon owner Mario.
The comedian is also writing a spin-off based on Mr Wang, a new character from the film, which opens on 27 June.
Mr Wang was originally meant to be played by Burt Kwouk, best known for his role as Cato in the Pink Panther movies. But the 83-year-old turned out to be too ill to travel.
O'Carroll told BBC News that he had been reading the part in rehearsals and both his son, Danny - who plays Buster in the film - and producer Stephen McCrum were keen for him to step into the role.
"But I said, 'You can't take the piss out of a Chinese person. If you are going to take the piss out of a Chinese person, you have to have someone Chinese playing the part.'
"So I thought, I'll play the part of a guy, who wants to be Chinese; who thinks he's Chinese; who dresses like he's Chinese; but all he does is deliver Chinese. But he's convinced he's Chinese!
"And out of that came Mr Wang," explains O'Carroll.
He told the BBC he was currently penning a spin-off set in Mr Wang's Detective Agency, with Mrs Brown's sons Buster and Dermot working for him.
"I never laughed so much as the days I played Mr Wang," he says. "There's things Mr Wang can say that nobody else can say."
"That's one of the tricks of Mrs Brown," O'Carroll added. "Mrs Brown gets away with saying things that I would never get away with - not as a man."
He cited Dublin as the inspiration behind the forthcoming film, Mrs Brown's D'Movie, which sees Mrs Brown trying to save her fruit and veg stall as Dublin's real-life Moore Street market is threatened by the plans of a ruthless property developer.
He said his material came from "just listening" to the locals.
"Just spend a week in Dublin. Conversations between women are absolutely hilarious.
"All those conversations I would have done as gags in the past, they're actually real conversations."
"I think it's how we survive," says O'Carroll.
"We talk about this depression and how bad things are. But the way we get past that is we make jokes about it.
"Anybody will tell you if you want to have a really good laugh, go to an Irish funeral - you won't have a better time!"
'Learning curve'
Mrs Brown's Boys took TV by storm when the BBC sitcom first aired in 2011.
Though Mrs Brown - and her witless family - had first appeared on Irish radio station RTE2fm, in 1992 and had been the focal point of a series of books and a long-running stage show, it was not until O'Carroll's irrepressible matriarch hit the small screen that he became an international star.
Christmas specials of the show topped festive viewing polls two years in a row, with 11.7m tuning in last December; the stage show plays to arenas of 7,000 and recently toured in Australia.
Fans come from as far afield as Australia, Tokyo and Mumbai - it is even the number one comedy in Romania, where it has been remade as Tanti Florica.
O'Carroll - who has lived with the character for more than 20 years - says the comedy's global success has been a "learning curve" even for him.
"There seems to be a universal Mrs Brown - a mother or a grandmother - and I think it's one of the secrets of the success of the show."
However, despite its indisputable fanbase, critics remain guarded about Mrs Brown's Boys. No previews have been released of the film, with O'Carroll joking that journalists might "bootleg" pirate copies.
Sitcoms developed for the big screen have a poor track record, but O'Carroll remains positive.
"Every time there is a depression or a recession, people get nostalgic: the summers were longer, they think Christmases were brighter and they weren't as commercial.
"They get very nostalgic and Mrs Brown is nostalgic."
Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie (cert 15) opens across the UK and Ireland on Friday 27 June. | Royal Bank of Scotland has set aside a further $3.8bn (£3.1bn) to cover fines in the US, the bank has said.

During a difficult winter for the NHS, January appears to be the worst performing month in the past 13 years.
The figures also suggest record numbers of people waited longer than 12 hours for a hospital bed once seen in A&E.
The BMA said the prime minister could no longer "bury her head in the sand" over increasing pressure in the NHS.
And it accused the government of failing to grasp the seriousness of the situation.
But a spokesman from the Department of Health said the vast majority of patients were seen and treated quickly, and busy periods in hospitals were supported by an extra £400 million of funding.
The figures come from a document compiled by NHS Improvement, a regulator in England.
It appears to show that from a total of more than 1.4 million attendances at A&E during January:
It comes as official NHS figures for December show that 86.2% of A&E patients in England were dealt with in under four hours.
December A&E figures for Scotland are much higher at 92.6% while Wales and Northern Ireland's figures are lower than England's.
January's leaked figures for England are provisionally the worst monthly figures on record since the four-hour target was introduced in 2004.
The situation in England has worsened since last January when more than 51,000 people had "trolley waits" of between four and 12 hours in A&E and 158 people had waits of more than 12 hours.
Jennifer's 95-year-old mother went into Norwich Hospital A&E with a bad chest infection at 9am and was still waiting for a bed until after 10pm on the same day.
She ended up in a ward, where she stayed for a couple of days - but not before being moved three times during the night.
"At the time I was very upset because there was no care or anything. I was so angry," Jennifer said.
"Previously she'd been to A&E on Monday 30 January but got sent home.
"It wasn't getting any better on the Wednesday, so the ambulance was called again.
"I know the NHS is in a bad way but it doesn't help a 95-year-old."
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt recently suggested the four-hour target could be changed to apply to urgent health problems in A&E, rather than more minor ones.
A spokesman from the Department of Health said they did not recognise the figures.
"It is irresponsible to publish unverified data and does a disservice to all NHS staff working tirelessly to provide care around the clock."
Sorry, your browser cannot display this content.
But the Royal College of Emergency Medicine said their figures backed up those seen by the BBC.
Vice-president Dr Chris Moulton said: "While increasing numbers of doctors is vital, the more pressing problem is a lack of beds.
"We simply do not have any more room to put patients - we have the lowest number of acute beds per capita in Europe."
"As a result, bed occupancy is at dangerous levels and exit block is putting lives at risk."
President Dr Taj Hassan, told the BBC's Today programme that the more crowded emergency departments were, the higher the risk that patients could die.
"The care being delivered results in patients being compromised - because of delays in getting pain relief in time, getting antibiotics in time," he said.
"Delays to assessment will also compromise care," he added.
Dr Mark Porter, who chairs the British Medical Association council, said doctors had reported that this winter had been "extraordinarily tough" in hospitals.
"When social care isn't available, patients experience delays in moving from hospital to appropriate ongoing care settings - preventing patients being admitted at the front end in A&E," Dr Porter said.
And he said the long trolley waits were a sign of a system under too much pressure.
"The government have so far failed to grasp the seriousness of the situation," Dr Porter said.
"The prime minister cannot continue to bury her head in the sand as care continues to worsen.
"The government must urgently look at the long-term funding, capacity and recruitment issues facing the system as a whole if we are to get to grips with the pressures the NHS faces year in, year out, but which are compounded during the winter months."
Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents hospitals, said it had already called for an urgent review of winter pressures on the health service.
"These figures have not been verified and should therefore be treated with caution, but they are in line with the feedback we have been getting from trusts.
"NHS staff have responded magnificently to increased winter pressures, but the situation has become unsustainable.
"The rise in long trolley waits is particularly worrying, as there is clear evidence they can lead to worse outcomes for patients."
Jim Mackey, chief executive of NHS Improvement, said the current level of demand in England's hospitals was causing real problems.
"Such intense pressure on emergency services has had a real impact on elective services and patients are having to wait longer for non-emergency treatment and this is also adding to the financial pressures being felt by NHS providers," he said.
"Even with these pressures, the NHS continues to outperform health systems in other major nations."

The new Edinburgh routes include Baden, Budapest, Carcassonne, Eindhoven, Hamburg, Katowice, Nantes, Prague, Szczecin, Toulouse, Venice, Valencia and Wroclaw.
The two new Glasgow routes are to Krakow and Madrid.
The new routes will mean a 20% growth for Ryanair in Scotland.
They will go on sale later this month.
Ryanair's Michael O'Leary said: "We are pleased to launch our biggest ever Scotland winter schedule, with 15 new routes and 20% growth which will deliver over five million customers per year and support 3,750 jobs at Ryanair's four Scottish Airports."
The collection includes three Military Cross awards, believed to be one of only 25 examples such gallantry was recognised in one person.
They belonged to Sir Peter Hilton, who fought at Dunkirk, El Alamein and D-Day, then became Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire and a veterans' campaigner.
The buyer made a "substantial" direct offer to the owners, auctioneers said.
Live updates and more from Derbyshire
Valued at up to £10,000, the collection also featured a journal Sir Peter wrote to his wife Winifred when he was sent abroad shortly after they married.
Sir Peter was part of the British Expeditionary Force that had to be evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940.
After marrying he was sent to the Middle East, where he was involved in the battle of El Alamein in 1942 and won the Military Cross and bar, as well as needing hospital treatment after being wounded.
His third award of the Military Cross came with the D-Day landings of June 1944.
In charge of a raft bringing vital tanks to the invasion beaches, he struggled against heavy gunfire and a failed engine.
He managed to flag down a landing craft to get a tow, only to discover it was commanded by his brother. He later was caught in a landmine explosion, in which he suffered a fractured skull and lost an eye.
Sir Peter stayed in the army for some years after the war but also served as Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire from 1978 to 1994 and was president of the Normandy Veterans' Association.
He was knighted in 1993 and died in 1995.
Adrian Stevenson, militaria specialist at auction house Hansons, said: "Before the auction a buyer came forward and made a substantial offer to the owners.
"We are assured the medals will stay in Derbyshire and it is hoped to have them on public display."
Lady Winifred served in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) and was also involved with charities and voluntary organisations. Seven of the medals in the 19 strong collection came from her.
She died in 2010.
The Military Cross is the third highest award for bravery against the enemy, after the Victoria Cross and Distinguished Service Cross.
Elizabeth Album took the pictures of director Billy Wilder and members of the cast in June 1969 while she was working for BBC show, Film 69.
The Loch Ness Monster made for The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, sank while being towed by a boat.
A new survey has found the prop 180m (590ft) down in the loch.
Mrs Album said: "I was working for Film 69 and we went up to Inverness to film the filming.
"The monster was still there. It was out on the water buzzing around behind a small motor boat.
"It was June and I remember it was boiling hot. It was very exciting at the time."
The 30ft (9m) model of the legendary monster has been seen for the first time in images captured by an underwater robot, called Munin and operated by Kongsberg Maritime.
Loch Ness expert Adrian Shine said the shape, measurements and location of what was shown in the sonar images pointed to the object being the lost prop.
Released in 1970, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes was made in the US and UK, where filming was done at Loch Ness and also in a studio.
The film tells of the detective investigating the disappearance of an engineer. The case takes him to Loch Ness and an encounter with a monster.
Sir Robert Stephens played Holmes, Colin Blakely was Dr Watson and Sir Christopher Lee was the sleuth's brother, Mycroft Holmes.
Talented special effects artist Wally Veevers, whose other work included 2001: A Space Odyssey, Superman and Local Hero, led the building of the monster model.
Wilder is said to have comforted Veevers after watching his creation disappear into the loch.
The director had a new monster made - but just its head and neck - and moved the filming to a large water tank in a film studio.
The new liaison officer at Raigmore will assist other staff in arranging transport and accommodation at the city hospital for expectant mums.
The role has been set up following changes to the provision of maternity services at Caithness General in Wick.
A new midwife-led community maternity unit was introduced in January.
Maternity services were previously led by consultant obstetricians.
However, Caithness General has no facilities for on-site specialist neonatal paediatric support or adult intensive care.
NHS Highland has also said that the majority of births at the hospital in Wick can be handled by midwives only.
Pregnancies involving complications are handled at Raigmore, as they have been for a number of years.
But the changes at Caithness General were also brought in on the back of internal and external reviews of the maternity services. The reviews followed two "potentially avoidable" deaths of five babies.
NHS Highland is setting up of the new liaison officer role in addition to plans by the health board and the Scottish Ambulance Service to invest in increasing ambulance provision in Caithness to better meet demand for hospital transfers.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said half a billion litres were taken from the pipeline that runs north-east from Lagos.
Long queues have formed at petrol stations across Nigeria in recent days.
Governments blame pipeline vandalism and theft in the oil sector for fuel shortages and damaging the economy.
An NNPC subsidiary told a Senate committee that "incessant hacking" of the System 2B pipeline had "made the task of providing seamless flow of petroleum products to retail outlets more burdensome".
The pipeline stretches 250km from the financial hub Lagos to the city of Ilorin.
The company said it was working to resolve the issue.
"We have been pushing 35 million litres every day to the market and there's no reason why there shouldn't be fuel," said Esther Nnamdi Ogbue, managing director of the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company, a subsidiary.
She blamed "sharp practices" such as hoarding in some areas.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil exporter, but a lack of refining capacity means drivers rely on imported petrol and there are frequent fuel shortages.
In May the country was brought to a virtual standstill after importers shut depots over subsidy payments.
President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged to scrap the subsidy scheme, which critics say is rife with corruption, but a previous attempt to stop the payments led to violent mass protests in 2012.
However, in August NNPC managing director Emmanuel Kachikwu said the subsidies were an unsustainable drain on the economy, which has suffered as global oil prices have fallen.
Though there's not much chatter about what was in the manifesto, it's all about man flu and mentions in the Irish News.
Its front page has a picture of party leader Arlene Foster mid-cough, and a mini word-cloud based on her speech as the headline:
"Mentions of Sinn Féin: 32. Mentions of Adams: 12. Mentions of RHI: None. Questions answered afterwards: None - because she has 'man flu'."
The paper's John Manley says the party appears to be lurching from one crisis to another, and its response is to be diversionary - "ladies and gentleman I give you Gerry Adams and His Radical Republican Agenda".
"Arlene Foster's 'man flu' can perhaps be excused but the refusal of deputy leader Nigel Dodds or other senior party figures to take questions was unprecedented for such an occasion," he adds.
The News Letter, while acknowledging that Ms Foster clearly had a sore throat, also refers to the "hugely unusual situation" that arose at the Stormont Hotel in Belfast on Monday.
On political matters, the paper says that "beneath the myriad warnings about Sinn Féin, there were also olive branches to the only party with which the DUP can hope to form an administration in a fortnight's time."
Sticking to politics, the Belfast Telegraph has a front page exclusive on what it calls the Alliance party's "plot to 'hijack' BBC Talkback".
It claims the plot centres on a Facebook group, where the party's spin doctor urged members to call the BBC phone-in show with "softball" questions during a pre-election interview with Alliance leader Naomi Long.
The party said the group was an informal, private forum run by activists.
"We would be surprised if every other party does not have a similar outlet, where conversations of an equally candid and tongue-in-cheek manner take place. We would, however, be surprised if they were as tame".
The Telegraph's Eilis O'Hanlon takes the opportunity to be a bit tongue-in-cheek herself about the expose and the "holier than thou" Alliance.
"It's like seeing one of those headlines in the old News of the World about a cross-dressing vicar," she writes. "It's shocking for a moment, then you can't help but laugh."
The Belfast Telegraph has another exclusive - the soaring number of children being treated for anxiety disorders across Northern Ireland. It says 50 children are being referred to specialists every week by just two health trusts.
In its viewpoint, the paper says peer and exam pressure are part of the growing problem.
"Added to this is the pressure from social media, including bullying, and the attitude of parents themselves who are under pressure in our increasingly competitive society."
On to matters of conservation.
Plans for a dual carriageway near a protected wetland are being challenged in court and the Irish News is just one of the papers to cover the case.
Environmentalist Chris Murphy, who is opposed to the A6 upgrade, told the court that building the road through landscape made famous by poet Seamus Heaney would be like cutting away at a Rembrandt painting.
Meanwhile, the News Letter is vexed about an historically-significant bridge which could be removed under the latest plans for Belfast's new transport hub, revealed on Monday.
Billy Dickson, who is campaigning to save the Boyne Bridge in Sandy Row, parts of which date back to 1642, told the paper: "If this was an old house on Stranmillis where some well-known artist lived I have no doubt people would be up in arms."
While there are plenty of stories in Tuesday's papers, there is only one picture doing the rounds.
And it features a grinning US President Donald Trump with top golfer Rory McIlroy, who is more grimacing than grinning, though that might just be the sun in his eyes.
After playing 18 holes in Florida, McIlroy said of his playing partner: "He probably shot around 80. He's a decent player for a guy in his 70s."
Inevitably, given the level of anti-Trump feeling around the world, social media has not looked that favourably on the partnership.
The Mirror reports that one Twitter user said: "Absolutely shameful of McIlroy. Should be stripped of his Irishness, if he still has any".
Ouch.
The block measures about 720 sq km in area - roughly eight times the size of Manhattan Island in New York.
Scientists have been waiting for the PIG to calve since October 2011 when they first noticed a spectacular crack spreading across its surface.
Confirmation that the fissure had extended the full width of the glacier was obtained on Monday.
It was seen by the German TerraSAR-X satellite.
This carries a radar instrument that can detect the surface of the ice stream even though the Antarctic is currently in the grip of winter darkness.
The berg that broke away was part of the PIG's ice shelf - the front segment of the glacier that lifts up and floats as it pushes out into the ocean. The shelf will reach tens of km beyond the grounding line.
German researchers have been receiving images from TerraSAR-X every three days or so, hoping to understand better the processes that drive the glacier forward and prompt it to fracture.
This will help them improve the computer models that are used to forecast future changes in the Antarctic.
"We were very keen to see how the crack propagated," said Prof Angelika Humbert, a glaciologist with the Alfred Wegener Institute.
"We need proper calving laws, to be able to describe the evolution of ice sheets over centuries," she told BBC News.
Very big tabular bergs will come off the end of the ice shelf every 6-10 years. Previous notable events occurred in 2007 and 2001.
It is a very natural process and scientists say it should not be tied directly to the very real climate changes that are also affecting this part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Satellite and airborne measurements have recorded a marked thinning and a surge in velocity of the PIG in recent decades.
This has been attributed in part to warmer waters getting under, and melting, the ice shelf. The PIG's grounding line has pulled back further and further towards the land.
The glacier's behaviour means it is now under close scrutiny, not least because it drains something like 10% of all the ice flowing off the west of the continent.
"The PIG is the most rapidly shrinking glacier on the planet," explained Prof David Vaughan from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
"It's losing more ice than any other glacier on the planet, and it's contributing to sea level rise faster than any other glacier on the planet. That makes it worthy of study."
BAS has recently deployed a series of instrumented "javelins" along the PIG to monitor its movement.
When the big crack propagating across the 30km width of the PIG was first photographed in 2011 by a Nasa airborne expedition, many assumed the moment of final calving would come quite quickly.
That it took almost two years for the tabular berg to break away is something of a surprise, concedes Prof Humbert.
What should not be a surprise, she says, is that it has occurred in deep winter when the ocean is covered in sea-ice. This relatively thin covering would always be overwhelmed by the internal stresses in the massive ice shelf.
What will be interesting now, she adds, is to see how long it takes for the berg to move out of the bay in front of it. It could take several months. TerraSAR-X will provide the tell-tale data.
The world's largest recorded iceberg was the tabular block that became known as B-15.
When it broke off the Ross Ice Shelf in 2001, it had a surface area of about 11,000 sq km. It took years to melt away as it moved out into the Southern Ocean.

Mr Finucane was shot in 1989 by loyalist paramilitaries at his north Belfast home.
His family have long campaigned for an independent public inquiry.
However at Tuesday's meeting, Mr Cameron proposed a review conducted by a leading QC.
Speaking outside Downing Street, Pat Finucane's widow Geraldine told reporters she felt so angry she could hardly speak.
Mr Finucane's family said they were "insulted" at the proposal for a review of the case to be led by QC Desmond DeSilva.
They said they would continue their campaign for an independent public inquiry and would not participate in the review.
When he was prime minister, Tony Blair agreed to set up an inquiry, but a fresh investigation was never established.
Before the meeting on Tuesday, the government said they hoped the Finucane family would be satisfied with their response.
Speaking afterwards Mrs Finucane said: "He (David Cameron) is offering a review. He wants a QC to read the papers in my husband's case and that is how he expects to reach the truth.
"All of us are very upset and very disappointed."
The family have said they want an inquiry that is public, effective and independent.
Mr Finucane's son Michael said of the review: "The family of Pat Finucane will not be allowed to participate, we will not be allowed to read documents for ourselves, we will not be allowed to ask questions of witnesses, if indeed any witnesses are going to be questioned.
"We will not be allowed to put our point of view across, we will simply not be a part of this process at all.
"How could anybody sign up to something like that - it's a farce."
A statement on behalf of Mr Cameron said: "The prime minister expressed his profound sympathy for the family and said it was clear from (the) Stevens and Corey (inquiries) that state collusion had taken place in Mr Finucane's murder and he accepted these conclusions.
"On behalf of the government he apologised to the family.
"He confirmed that the government's priority was to get to the truth in the best and most effective way and the secretary of state will set out the details for this process shortly."
In 2004, the then Northern Ireland Secretary of State Paul Murphy announced his intention to hold an inquiry under the new Inquiries Act.
The Finucane family are opposed to the probe being held under this legislation, which they say makes the inquiry accountable to the minister responsible, rather than to parliament.
SDLP justice spokesperson Alban Maginness said the decision was "unacceptable" and accused David Cameron of raising the family's hopes.
"After all this length of time one would have expected better from the British government and prime minister on an issue that runs deep into the British military and security complex," he added.
Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly said the government was guilty of "an extreme act of bad faith".
"It is in the interest of everyone in our society, including all who seek to engender public confidence in the new beginning to policing and justice, that an effective, independent inquiry is held into the killing of Pat Finucane," he said.
The DUP's Nigel Dodds said he understood the desire of relatives to get the full facts about the death of their loved one.
"However, history in Northern Ireland has shown that the kind of expensive open-ended inquiry demanded in some cases has not been able to bring closure for anyone involved and has actually increased community tensions," he said.
Ulster Unionist Mike Nesbitt said while he could understand the Finucane family's frustration, the government was right to end the "costly impasse" which had developed over the inquiry.
He said an agreed mechanism was needed to deal with the past "rather than a series of processes that serve to re-write history, painting the state and the agents of the state as the villains".
Speaking in the Irish parliament, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said if Geraldine Finucane was not happy with the outcome of her meeting with Mr Cameron, then the house would not be happy either.
The pair, aged 12 and 14, are accused of attacking the woman in the Anfield area of Liverpool in September 2014.
She was raped by the older boy, while the younger defendant threatened her with a knife and sexually assaulted her, the city's crown court heard.
Both boys, who cannot be named due to their age, deny all charges.
When paramedics found the woman, who has mental health difficulties, she was at the point of hypothermia, and was covered in paint, jurors heard.
Prosecutors told the court the paint was poured over her head along with cleaning fluid to prevent the recovery of forensic evidence.
Ben Jones, prosecuting, said: "The prosecution case is that these two defendants, acting together subjected [the woman] to a humiliating sexual assault.
"The prosecution say the word 'humiliating' because the word is justified.
"Violent and sadistic might also be accurate descriptions."
Mr Jones said during police interviews the victim, who suffered 27 injuries, including bruising and scratches, described being "unable to cope" in the weeks afterwards.
The 14-year-old is accused of rape and three sexual assaults, while the 12-year-old is charged with two sexual assaults and aiding and abetting rape.
Both boys sat in court next to their parents.
The trial, which is expected to last for a week, continues.
HSBC is paying $1.9bn (£1.2bn) in fines and forfeitures to assorted federal and state authorities for its inadequate controls against money transfers by criminals, terrorists and countries that are subject to sanctions (such as Iran).
In a statement, HSBC apologised and said it had changed its ways. It expects to reach a settlement soon with the UK's Financial Services Authorities relating to the same offences.
The $1.9bn is significantly more than the penalties HSBC expected to pay - even after its recent upward revision of provisions to cover such charges. Also the cost for HSBC of raising its defences against money laundering and illegal money movements will be $700m (£435m) over five years.
Odd as it may seem, it could however have been significantly worse. HSBC has signed a Deferred Prosecution Agreement for breaches of the US Bank Secrecy Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act and assorted money laundering offences. This is in effect putting the bank on probation.
But if HSBC had been indicted for these offences, that would have meant that the US government and others could no longer have conducted business with it - which would have been humiliating and highly damaging.
The punishment of HSBC comes just a day after another UK based international bank, Standard Chartered, agreed to pay $327m (£203m) for past violations of US sanctions laws and "lack of transparency in connection with certain former payments practices which were terminated in 2007".
Standard Chartered, which also signed a deferred prosecution agreement, had already paid $340m to New York State's Department of Financial Services for the same offences.
Now, for the avoidance of doubt, there is a trend here - which is that every big British bank is struggling to keep control of the costs of fines and compensation relating to a great variety of forms of sloppy practices and misbehaviour in the boom years.
It won't be long before we begin to learn the fines that Royal Bank of Scotland will pay to regulators all over the world for its involvement in the LIBOR interest-rate rigging scandal.
RBS is likely to end up paying more than the £290m in fines and penalties paid by Barclays - though that may not be apparent for a while, since RBS is not expected to reach a big bang settlement with all authorities from Tokyo to Brussels to Washington at the same time.
Then there are the stupendous costs of paying compensation to UK retail customers who were missold PPI credit insurance - which, according to the FSA, was more than £7bn by the end of September and looks set to end up being considerably more than £10bn.
And then there are the difficult-to-pin-down costs of compensating small businesses who were sold inappropriate interest-rate swaps - which will certainly be rather more than £1bn in aggregate and possibly (in an unlikely worst case for the banks) a multiple of that.
In addition, most of the banks face civil cases from disgruntled investors related to these and other alleged failings that stem from the exuberance of the boom years.
All of which is of material interest to the banks' customers and shareholders.
The point, as the Governor of the Bank of England said recently, is that banks may not have adequate capital to absorb the full financial cost of all the punishment being meted out for banks' past sins.
And as you will be tired of hearing, capital is expensive. And when banks are obliged to raise more of it, the burden falls initially on investors and subsequently on customers - who are forced to pay more for banking services to reward the providers of the capital.
Or to put it another way, we are all punished when banks are found guilty.
If no-one matches six numbers on Saturday, the next tier of winners will share the Lotto prize.
The winning numbers for Wednesday, drawn at 20:30 GMT, were 8, 30, 40, 50, 54, 57 and the bonus ball was 13.
Camelot said it had sold about 200 tickets per second in the hour before ticket sales closed at 19:30 GMT.
The previous largest National Lottery jackpot was £42m, which was shared between three separate ticket holders in January 1996.
Its website crashed at about 18:00, making ticket purchases for the draw unavailable for about 10 minutes, although problems with logging on persisted for some time.
Parts of the website - including the results page and sign-in page - were down for much of Wednesday night with an error message saying they were "extremely busy".
Wednesday's jackpot is the result of 13 consecutive rollovers and follows the number of balls in the draw increasing from 49 to 59 in October.
This reduced the odds of a player getting six numbers from about one in 14 million to one in 45 million, mathematicians say.
Camelot argues its rule changes have increased the chances of becoming a millionaire with the introduction of a millionaire's raffle.
Lotto changes - behind the numbers
New Camelot rules mean the jackpot prize is shared out in the first draw after the prize reaches £50m.
This means if no player matches all six numbers on Saturday, the prize will be shared between winners in the next tier where there is at least one winner - almost certainly those people who have five main numbers and the bonus ball.
Camelot said this would make it "some of the best odds players have ever had to win a multi-million pound, life-changing jackpot".
In Wednesday's draw, two tickets matched five numbers and the bonus ball - winning £74,900 each.
Former hairdresser Susan Herdman won £1.2m in 2010 and used her money to focus on her hobby of amateur motor racing, and has become a national champion.
Nikki Otterburn, a former fitness instructor, owns a riding school after her £2.2m win in 2001.
Edd and Michelle Edwards won £1.9m in 2008 - Michelle is now working at her own cake baking and decoration business.
Ted and Marilyn Newton bought a woodland for the use of local children and scouts after winning £7.9m in 2009.
Morris and Carol Worrall bought a beach hut with some of the £15m they won in 2005.
The biggest single-ticket National Lottery win was £22.5m, which was shared by work colleagues Mark Gardiner and Paul Maddison from Hastings in 1995.
The biggest individual winner was Iris Jeffrey from Belfast, who won £20.1m in 2004.
Although no-one has won more than Mrs Jeffrey on the National Lottery, her jackpot has been dwarfed in recent years by British winners of the Euromillions lottery.
Money for that prize comes from tickets sales in a number of European countries and the jackpot often rolls over for many more weeks.
The biggest UK Euromillions winners are Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire, in 2011 who collected £161.6m.
The couple gave large donations to several causes, including £1m to the Scottish National Party's campaign for Scottish independence.
The final curtain will fall on the multi award-winning show at the Victoria Palace Theatre on 9 April.
The story about the miner's son who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer is leaving to allow for the theatre's refurbishment, announced last year.
But fans of the production will not be left bereft as it will be embarking on its first tour of the UK and Ireland.
The theatre's makeover comes after it was bought by stage impresario Cameron Mackintosh, which is also part of extensive redevelopment work that is taking place around Victoria station.
The first regional Billy Elliot shows will begin in Plymouth in February before stops around cities including Sunderland, Bradford, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin, with dates currently planned until May 2017.
The Victoria Palace has been the musical's home since it first opened to great fanfare, following the acclaim achieved by the Oscar-nominated film on which it is based and the big names involved in bringing it to the stage.
The film's director, Stephen Daldry, was part of the show's creative team along with Sir Elton John, who wrote its score.
"Billy Elliot has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my entire life. The talented young performers who have become part of our Billy Elliot family have amazed me with their achievements from the very start," Sir Elton said.
"I am so delighted that new audiences around the country will now have the opportunity to experience this extraordinary piece of work."
Daldry and the show's lead producer, Eric Fellner, said they knew it would have to leave the Palace theatre at some point - but had not anticipated it would run as long as it has.
"We knew when we did the original deal that we would leave one day but we had no idea it would be 11 years on," Fellner told the Daily Mail.
He also confirmed plans for a film version of the musical were "chugging along", although he added it was realistically "three or four years away".
The musical has been seen by more than 5.25 million people in London and nearly 11 million people around the globe in worldwide productions.
The next series of The Apprentice is going to look somewhat different.
The 42-year-old comedian has confirmed he will no longer be presenting the BBC Two spin-off show You're Fired.
"After five years hosting You're Fired, I've decided to pass the chair on to someone else," he explained.
His exit comes after PR expert Nick Hewer stepped down as Lord Sugar's right-hand man on the main show.
Dara has revealed he wants to spend more time on his own comedy.
"I'm back on tour again this year and I'd like to enjoy getting laughs off my own incompetence for a while," he said.
"Best of luck to whoever takes over the chair, you'll have lots of fun with them."
More than six million viewers tuned in for the final of the last series of The Apprentice.
Patrick Holland, executive producer of reality show, said: "Dara has been an absolutely fantastic host.
"It has been a great privilege to work with him and we wish him the very best with his next projects."
There is no word on who will replace Dara just yet.

Mr Modi coaxed the United Nations into declaring 21 June International Yoga Day and announced a grand event to be held in Delhi on that day. His government plans to get tens of thousands of people to perform yoga in the heart of the capital on Sunday.
Mr Modi is an enthusiast himself - he told a biographer he tries to do yoga for an hour after waking up in the morning.
So what does Sunday's mass yoga session tell us about India?
Mr Modi's plan to get 35,000 people to perform yoga for 35 minutes on the stately Rajpath (King's Avenue) is aimed at setting a new Guinness World Record. The Guinness people have been invited to document the largest yoga class at a single venue.
Indians already flaunt a number of yoga-related world records: the largest yoga class, longest yoga chain, longest yoga marathon and longest yoga class at multiple venues.
Inspired by Mr Modi's call, even India's National Cadet Corps want to set another record on Sunday - "the largest ever demonstration of yoga by a uniformed organisation on a single day concurrently at multiple venues all across India". It says a million cadets will simultaneously do yoga at 1,900 locations.
Yes, we are crazy about breaking world records.
A reality check: Indians applied for some 3,000 records with Guinness World Records in 2013, just behind record-seekers from the US and Britain. The number of Indian record holders has risen an astonishing 250% in the past five years.
It helps that we are the world's second-most populous nation, so we have also set records in things like the biggest blood donation drive and most number of people shaking hands. Writer Samanth Subramanian describes this as a "fevered subculture of record-setters".
If a place in the Guinness World Records looks remote, no worries. We have our thriving, home-grown Limca Book of World Records and India Book of Records to take care of our achievements.
But Mr Modi, clearly, has set his sights higher.
More seriously, Sunday's gathering is a timely reminder that urban Indians need to get fitter.
Doctors say India's cities are riding a diabetes and heart disease epidemic. India's diabetes rate jumped an alarming 123% between 1990 and 2013, compared to 45% worldwide, a new study found. One in four Indians die of heart disease. Obesity is on the rise.
As the middle class swells and grows richer, more Indians are leading desk-bound, sedentary work lives and enduring stressful commutes in pedestrian-unfriendly cities, where there is no culture of walking. Gorging on junk food and fat-rich diets doesn't help matters.
If Mr Modi's move encourages more Indians to take to yoga - with or without the spirituality attached to it - it would have served a purpose in making more Indians healthier.
The moment Mr Modi's government unveiled its mega yoga plans, political rivals cried foul.
Mayawati, the feisty leader of India's Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) said Mr Modi's party and its hardline allies were trying to use yoga to "vitiate communal harmony".
The main opposition Congress party has taken pot-shots at the event, and a senior party spokesperson issued a snarky broadside:
Some Muslim clerics are uneasy about the government's motives and equate Mr Modi's government's promotion of yoga with promoting Hinduism. A recent story by Reuters was headlined: PM Modi's yoga offensive gets Muslims stressed.
Firebrand ruling BJP MP Yogi Adityanath fanned the flames by saying that those who opposed the surya namaskar - a series of yoga positions designed to greet Surya, the Hindu Sun God - "should drown in the sea" - a remark that was swiftly put down by Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj.
The government has even taken out the sun salutation exercise from Sunday's performance, and is very keen to showcase it as secular.
Political analyst Neerja Chowdhury says Sunday's event serves the prime minister well. "It's a win-win situation for Mr Modi. It boosts his image and keeps the hardliners happy," she told me.
However, critics say Mr Modi's move comes at a time of rising anxiety among India's minorities, many of whom suspect that his party is trying to make India a pronouncedly Hindu nation.
Analyst Ajaz Ashraf says Mr Modi's yoga celebration is a "mix of cultural nationalism, commercialisation and subtle coercion". Historian Dilip Simeon decries what he calls the "deceitful polemic about yoga" and says Indians will learn yoga not to please Hindu nationalists, "but for our health".
"Yoga is part of ancient India's cultural heritage," says Manmohan Vaidya, a spokesperson of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the hardline ideological godfather of the BJP and the largest Hindu nationalist group in India. "By celebrating yoga on a mass scale we are validating our glorious past."
Others say yoga is India's biggest contribution to society after, perhaps, zero and is a symbol of its cultural richness.
There are concerns that India has lost control of "brand yoga" to the West - yoga is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide - although Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj has said India would "never like an Intellectual Property Rights stamp on yoga".
Is yoga essentially a religious activity? This BBC magazine piece has some answers. But closer to home, the Yoga Day is being seen by many as (Hindu) India "reclaiming" yoga.
Wendy Doniger, leading American academic and author of The Hindus: An Alternative History, says many Hindus, concerned about their image, fear that their religion has been stereotyped in the West as a polytheistic faith of "castes, cows and curry". They look at yoga as the poster-child of Indian spiritual wisdom and the essence of Hinduism.
But this, Doniger believes, ignores yoga's complex and contested history: there are at least five conflicting claims about when yoga began, including a provocative assertion by Mark Singleton that the roots of modern yoga actually do not lie in ancient India.
The transnational, Anglophone yoga, Singleton argues, derives from a curious mix of British body-building and physical culture, American transcendentalism, Christian science, naturopathy, Swedish gymnastics and the YMCA. Yoga's appeal grew far and wide. Even Fritz Lang made a film about trippy yogis.
In the end, as Doniger says, "for some people yoga is a religious meditation, for others an exercise routine, and for others, both".
"It is a rich, multi-cultural, interdisciplinary construction, far from the pure line that its adherents often claim for it."
There's no shortage of humour in India - and Sunday's event is no exception.
I think sociologist Shiv Visvanathan puts it best. "[Mr Modi] is looking for a new kind of cultural revolution. I like the comic part of it - the fat cops, the bureaucrats, doing exercise. Here is India, getting fat on hamburgers and milkshakes. Modi is the Benjamin Franklin of India in many ways," he told the New York Times.
Even India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh has managed to encourage officials in his office to practice yoga after work, as he keeps a watchful eye on their moves:
Shripad Naik, the yoga minister, told the New York Times that yoga practice would help lower violent crime and produce better bureaucrats.
"There will be a definite change in the way the bureaucracy functions," he said. "When they are thin, all their energy will go into producing better work."
And popular yoga guru Baba Ramdev told a yoga rehearsal at a Delhi stadium last week that a yoga position would help "rid the world of gas".
But this man practising on the soggy rain-soaked field did not quite appear to be listening to the guru's exhortations to put on the world's best yoga show on Sunday.
Cyclone Cook caused power shortages, landslides, uprooted trees and forced road closures.
Ahead of the storm's arrival, some residents fled their homes as authorities declared a state of emergency in parts of the North Island.
Although the cyclone bypassed much of the country, thousands of homes are still without power.
There is still heavy rain and some roads on New Zealand's South Island remain underwater, with flooding in roads around Christchurch. Several rivers have burst their banks.
New Zealand's Civil Defence ministry is warning people to remain cautious, especially around fallen power lines.
The weakening weather system is continuing to bring heavy rain to parts of the South Island, and is expected to pass over Dunedin later on Friday.
The cyclone formed around Vanuatu on Sunday before moving towards the Pacific islands of New Caledonia, bringing heavy rain and winds and causing cuts to power and water supplies.
It killed one person when it swept through New Caledonia.
The storm made New Zealand landfall in the Bay of Plenty at about 18:30 local time (06:30 GMT) on Thursday. It moved on to batter Hawkes Bay on the eastern coast, where two people were hospitalised after a tree hit their car, the New Zealand Herald reported.
Forecasts said the storm would be the worst since 1968, but meteorologists told local media that the storm system instead tracked away and because it was moving quickly the rain didn't last so long.
Air New Zealand cancelled several flights as the weather worsened in key areas.
Cyclone Cook comes after severe floods caused by the remnants of Cyclone Debbie hit some parts of the country last week. Cyclone Debbie hit Australia at the end of March, before its remnants moved towards New Zealand.

Speaking in Tyne and Wear, she said a vote for any other party was "too big a risk to take" as she appealed to Labour voters to put faith in her leadership.
Voters faced a "stark choice" between a prime minister who was "fixed on the future" and a backward-looking Labour.
Jeremy Corbyn has argued his party's plans will be "very popular".
Speaking in Tynemouth, Mrs May said Labour has "deserted" working-class voters and, urging people to put tribal loyalties aside, said what was important was not how people had voted in the past but what mattered in the future as a result of the changed political landscape.
She suggested the UK's future prosperity hinged on making a success of the UK's exit from the EU and electing a Labour government would jeopardise that.
"The success our country depends on getting the next five years right," she said, promising answers in the party manifesto - expected to be published next week - to the major questions facing the UK.
She said Labour's manifesto proposals, a draft of which were leaked on Wednesday, did not add up, and Mr Corbyn was incapable of delivering them.
She highlighted Conservative policies to cap energy bills, protect workplace pensions and improve mental health provision as proof of her desire to "reach out to all those who have been abandoned by Labour and let down by government for too long".
Long-held Labour values die hard. And with sluggish wages, public sector cuts, pressure on housing, inflation, there is a long list of reasons, on top of historic loyalties, why many voters, whether here or in other traditional Labour areas, will simply never switch.
There is a long way to go.
Jeremy Corbyn's allies believe the gap in the polls will narrow.
But privately many senior Tories are hopeful of a bigger prize in this election than a majority.

"Proud and patriotic working-class people in towns and cities across Britain have not deserted the Labour Party - Jeremy Corbyn has deserted them," she said.
"We respect that parents and grandparents taught their children and grandchildren that Labour was a party that shared their values and stood up for their community. But across the country today, traditional Labour supporters are increasingly looking at what Jeremy Corbyn believes in and are appalled."
She dismissed Labour's call for the rail network to be nationalised, one of the party's flagship policies, saying she was "old enough to remember the days of British Rail" and suggested that privatisation had "enhanced" services and been "good news for customers".
The leaked draft of Labour's manifesto contains policies on nationalising railways, renewing Trident weapons, abolishing university tuition fees and scrapping the public sector pay cap.
Speaking after his party unanimously approved the final version, which will be officially unveiled next week, Mr Corbyn said it would be "an offer that will transform the lives of many people in our society and ensure that we have a government in Britain on 8 June that will work for the many, not the few".
A ComRes survey for the Daily Mirror published on Friday suggests Labour's general election pledges, such as the nationalisation of rail and postal services, are more popular among voters than Mr Corbyn himself.
Theresa May is targeting Labour seats in the north of England which voted Leave in last year's EU referendum. She has accused EU officials of trying to interfere in the election after details of a Downing Street dinner appeared in a German newspaper last month.
Brexit Secretary David Davis told the Daily Telegraph on Friday that he believed European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker and his aides - reported to have been behind the leaks - had "learnt their lesson".
"He is not going to be meddling in British politics any more - or at least if he does he will get the same reaction.
"All these stories are briefing against me, trying to get me sacked - which, of course, is a compliment by the way," he said.

A total of 811,804 passengers used the airport last month, up 5.4% from 2016.
The number of international travellers rose by 13.6% in February, with Edinburgh now officially the UK's fastest-growing airport in terms of international passengers.
The airport said the benefits of its growth would extend outwith the hub.
Edinburgh Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar said: "Once again our passenger numbers have broken a new record.
"This is further proof that the airport is continuing to service the growing demand for what is without doubt one of Europe's leading cities.
"As we grow we deliver greater international connectivity for this city and for Scotland - and the benefits of our growth are felt well beyond this airport."
The footage, from a CCTV camera, shows a man in a yellow shirt leaving a backpack in the Erawan Hindu shrine.
At least 20 people died in Monday's blast, about half of them foreigners, and more than 120 were injured.
In a separate attack on Tuesday, an explosive device was thrown at a pier in Bangkok, but no-one was hurt.
Nationals from China, Hong Kong, the UK, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore are among the foreigners killed in the attack.
CCTV footage of a suspect wanted for questioning
Who were the victims?
The facts - what we know so far
The Erawan shrine - popular with locals and tourists
Thai shares fall sharply
Still images of the suspect had already been released.
In the new footage, he is shown carefully and deliberately removing his backpack inside the shrine, getting up without it and immediately leaving the scene.
The spot where he was sitting is precisely where the bomb went off a few minutes later, says the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok.
"There is a suspect... we are looking for this guy," Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters.
Authorities were "quite close" to identifying the suspect, Thai government spokesman Maj Gen Weerachon Sukhontapatipak told the BBC, but other leads were also being pursued.
He said no motive was being ruled out, but that the bomber did not appear to be Thai and the character of the bombing was "quite different" from previous bombings by southern Thai insurgents.
He said security at transport hubs and tourist sites was being beefed up.
The bomb was detonated at about 19:00 local time (12:00 GMT) on Monday when the shrine, and the nearby Ratchaprasong junction, were crowded.
Mr Prayuth called it the "worst ever attack" on Thailand.
"There have been minor bombs or just noise, but this time they aim for innocent lives. They want to destroy our economy, our tourism."
In Tuesday's incident, a device was reportedly thrown at the busy Sathorn pier in Bangkok. It landed in water where it exploded harmlessly, but police said it could have caused many injuries.
Maj Gen Weerachon said there were similarities between Monday's deadly blast and the explosion on Tuesday, but the authorities had not established links between the two.
"Both were TNT bombs," he told reporters. "There's a pattern, but we have not yet found links."
Monday's bomb was clearly placed to cause maximum casualties, says our correspondent in Bangkok.
In currency trading, the Thai baht fell to its lowest level in six years over concerns about the impact on tourism.
There are suggestions this could be related to the Muslim separatist conflict in southern Thailand, but the political violence has been limited to the three southern provinces - never the capital.
Others have mentioned the Muslim Uighur minority in China. They are unhappy that Thailand deported Uighur refugees back to China, where the minority complain of persecution, and might have wanted to punish the Thai state, the thinking goes. But we don't know enough at this point to support this theory.
However, international terror networks usually claim responsibility quickly after the incident, which hasn't happened in this instance so far.
One thing is clear - this is a failure of the government's intelligence work.

National police chief Somyot Poompummuang described the device as a 3kg (6.6lb) pipe bomb - an improvised device where explosive material is put in a sealed cavity to maximise the explosive impact.
"The impact was so strong it sucked us forward and then pushed us back," one witness, Leify Porter, from Australia told the BBC.
She said she had seen "very graphic" scenes at the site of the explosion.
Erawan shrine is dedicated to the Hindu god Brahma, but is also visited by thousands of Buddhists each day.
It sits between a five-star hotel and a popular shopping centre on the Ratchaprasong intersection, which has been the centre of political demonstrations in recent years.
Bangkok has seen a decade of sometimes violent rivalry between political factions.
The military took over the country in May last year, removing an elected government following months of unrest. The capital has been relatively calm since then.
The tide of people seeking to escape northwards across the Mediterranean from the Libyan coast is now not just a humanitarian issue, but one of the EU's major security challenges.
The plight of the Rohingya boat people fleeing persecution in Myanmar, also known as Burma, presents similar dilemmas for the governments of Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
The Malaysian Navy has now despatched four ships to search the Andaman Sea for the Rohingya refugees and the Malaysian and Indonesian governments have belatedly agreed to accept migrants for one year until they can be settled elsewhere.
Major population shifts caused by war and crisis are of course not a new phenomenon.
Look at Europe in the aftermath of World War Two, or the Indian sub-continent in the run-up to independence.
A catalogue of wars since 1945 have each thrown up their own tide of misery.
But the scale of what is going on today is immense.
Consider the extraordinary statistics from Syria where some four million refugees have left the country and more than seven million people have been displaced within its borders.
By these standards the Rohingya crisis is relatively small scale.
But still more than 120,000 have taken to the seas and an unknown number have perished.
The Muslim Rohingya are fleeing persecution and violence in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar, including state-sanctioned discrimination.
The crisis exemplifies the combination of state action (or inaction); the role of criminals who run the people smuggling networks; and the diplomatic ramifications of the population flow.
If this is the case in South East Asia then it is doubly so when the population movements are prompted by the collapse of any kind of order.
Libya has essentially become a failed state and its coast has become the jumping-off point for a tide of would-be immigrants to Europe.
Many come from Libya or the wider North African region, but many are refugees from sub-Saharan Africa, smuggled to the Libyan coast by elaborate and sophisticated networks whose tentacles extend into countries within the European Union itself.
Mustering the levers of state power, to tackle a crisis that originates in an area where organised government does not exist, is presenting the European Union with a problem from hell.
Deaths at sea prompt a call for action - the humanitarian response to be followed by offering a welcome to at least some of the refugees in EU countries.
But a number of governments have already baulked at the idea of EU imposed quotas.
With economies under strain and populist right-wing parties on the march in several countries, immigration policy is a particularly delicate area right now.
The EU is also looking at what military steps might be taken to interrupt the flow of hundreds of thousands of refugees towards Europe each year.
Planning is already under way, and there is vague talk of destroying vessels before the refugees board.
Libya's rival would-be governments both oppose any action in Libyan territorial waters.
Military steps there would require a UN Security Council resolution - perhaps unlikely given the current tensions between Russia and the West.
To the humanitarian, criminal, diplomatic and domestic political aspects of the crisis facing the EU, you can also add a significant security dimension with fears that jihadists from groups like Islamic State may be using the refugee flow to infiltrate European countries.
This is the kind of problem that western governments struggle to deal with.
They are torn between harrowing images in the media that call for action, with the understandable but more pragmatic considerations dictated by domestic politics.
Who are the Rohingyas?
Myanmar's unwanted people
Unanimity, even within the EU, is difficult.
Hindsight is an easy vantage point, but it looks as though the western intervention in Libya to overthrow the Qaddafi regime that was championed by Britain and France has prompted a series of unintended consequences.
After an initial period when there were hopes that Libyan society could be reconstructed, chaos ensued.
In the wake of the setbacks in Iraq and Afghanistan, western nations neither had the appetite nor the means to step up their involvement.
But a failure of policy was compounded by a failure in the broad strategic assessment.
The so-called "Arab Spring" was largely interpreted in the West through a media prism which focused on the middle-class Twitter generation in the Arab world.
It was believed that a democratic society could be constructed from the ruins of brutal authoritarianism in a matter of months rather than decades.
Such hopes proved an illusion.
They took no account of where power really lay.
Nor any account of the myriad divisions in the region, which are fast making the borders - largely inherited from the post-World War One settlement - as irrelevant as the colonial powers that drew them up.
The consequences of this failed strategic assessment are now washing up on Europe's shores, demanding that they not be turned away.
South Bank Square aims to develop land close to the Caw roundabout with frontages to Crescent Link and Clooney Road.
If approved, the scheme would take about 10 years to complete.
House builders in Northern Ireland are beginning major schemes for the first time since the property crash.
Private house building collapsed when a house-price bubble burst in 2007 and 2008.
Official figures show just over 4,500 private housing units were completed in Northern Ireland in 2014-2015.
That compares to more than 16,500 completions in 2005-2006.
South Bank Square is controlled by Maghera businessman Seamus Gillan.
His main firm, BSG Civil Engineering, mainly carries out engineering work for public sector clients like Northern Ireland Water.
Mr Gillan said the proposed development had got "extremely constructive and positive feedback in consultation with local residents".
He said he knows the importance of addressing traffic issues at the Caw roundabout and the planning application "responds to these issues".
Brian Kelly, the director of Turley and the lead planner for South Bank Square, said recent statistics suggest that housing completions in the Derry City and Strabane Council area have been slower than elsewhere in Northern Ireland.
He added that the scheme would represent 18% of the housing needed to accommodate the projected growth of the city's population over the next 20 years.
Robert Gates said no changes would be made at the meeting, but opened the door to a future policy review.
The former US Defence Secretary cited defiant chapters, possible legal challenges and other developments related to gay rights in the US.
Gay rights groups have welcomed Mr Gates' comments.
"The status quo in our movement's membership standards cannot be sustained," Robert Gates said at the group's annual meeting in Atlanta.
However, he raised the possibility that the organisation could revise its policy to allow local chapters to decide for themselves whether to allow gay adults to serve as leaders.
In 2013, the national organisation decided to allow openly gay youth to participate as scouts, but kept its ban on adults in place. The came into effect in January of 2014, and was the result of a bitter internal debate.
Mr Gates, who was in charge of the US military when congress voted to repeal the ban on openly gay service members, became the BSA's president in May 2014. Upon assuming office, Mr Gates said that he personally would have favoured ending the ban on gay adults. However, he did not want any further debate on the issue at that time.
On Thursday, he said recent developments "have confronted us with urgent challenges I did not foresee and which we cannot ignore".
Citing a defiant chapter in New York that recently hired an openly gay summer camp leader and other developments related to gay rights in the US, Mr Gates said: "We must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be."
"I remind you of the recent debates we have seen in places like Indiana and Arkansas over discrimination based on sexual orientation, not to mention the impending US Supreme Court decision this summer on gay marriage," he said.
He said that while the BSA had the power to revoke the charters of local chapters that defied the ban on gay adults, doing so would be harmful to boy scouts in those regions.
Mr Gates also said that laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation that have been passed in many states could open the BSA up to extensive legal battles.
"Between internal challenges and potential legal conflicts, the BSA finds itself in an unsustainable position, a position that makes us vulnerable to the possibility the courts simply will order us at some point to change our membership policy," he said.
Groups that campaign against the ban have welcomed Mr Gates' comments.
"It seems like the Boy Scouts will continue an internal dialogue about the subject and that a change within the next year or two is imminent," said Zach Wahls of Scouts for Equality.
The member of the country's royal family had hired the Egyptian pyramids, and flown in 300 friends and family members to watch while he popped the question in front of the ancient structures.
With a lavish private party then due to be held at the site, which was sealed off from locals and other visitors, the cost was an eye-watering $40m (£31m).
Thankfully for the prince, his girlfriend said "yes".
When it comes to marriage proposals, this example takes largesse to the nth degree. But even if you have the cash, how the heck would you go about organising such an event?
The answer for the Saudi prince was simply to phone his concierge services provider, a UK business called Quintessentially.
"We made it happen," says Quintessentially's chief executive and co-founder Aaron Simpson.
For those of us that aren't millionaires or billionaires, the concierge services industry needs a little explaining.
Taking its name from the man or woman at posh hotels who can book guests theatre tickets and get them into top restaurants, the sector has discreetly grown up over the past 15 or so years.
And far from just securing tickets for the latest sell-out play, or a table at some hotshot chef's new venture, concierge firms are being used to organise many aspects of clients' lives.
At Quintessentially, which has 70 offices around the world, and 2,500 members of staff, it does everything from organising holidays, to advising clients about private schools, helping buy properties, arranging private concerts by pop stars, or booking a dog walker.
And then there is the weird and wonderful stuff, such as making a client a bouquet of "flowers" made from 100 folded 1,000 Hong Kong dollar notes, so he could give it to his partner on Valentine's Day.
Or covering an entire beach with carpets so a member and his girlfriend didn't have to get sand on their feet, and organising a flash mob in New York's Times Square.
The firm is one of the largest in the sector, and while Quintessentially doesn't reveal its client numbers or price details, it is estimated to have about 100,000 customers around the world, including 800 billionaires who pay up to £150,000 a year.
Mr Simpson, 45, says that the firm's 2,500 employees, known as "lifestyle managers", can, generally speaking, make anything happen.
"We can arrange most things - unless of course it is illegal or there is a moral objection to it, and that very rarely happens - perhaps once or twice a year," he says.
"But otherwise everything is pretty solvable."
Born and bred in Essex, after studying geography at Oxford University, Mr Simpson spent his early 20s working as a film producer.
But given the continuing weakness of the UK film industry, by age 27 he was looking for a change of career.
After brainstorming sessions with friends Ben Elliot and Paul Drummond, they came up with the idea for Quintessentially.
Securing investment from a group of private investors, the business was launched in London in 2000 with a party to which they invited more than 200 movers and shakers. Customer numbers then grew strongly thanks to positive word of mouth.
While Quintessentially won't reveal any members' details, it is widely reported that it is used by the likes of singer Madonna, Indian steel giant Lakshmi Mittal, UK entrepreneur Richard Branson, author JK Rowling and rap star P Diddy.
The company also works closely with 400 premium brands including Ferrari, Channel, Gucci and British Airways.
In addition to running "white label" concierge services for such companies, Quintessentially has expanded its operations in recent years to helping firms with their public relations and marketing, and assisting them in studying customer data to best plan new products and services.
Mr Simpson says that the company now enjoys an annual turnover of £150m, and he intends to continue to grow this. He adds that despite numerous suitors, he and his two co-founders have no plans to sell up.
Alyssa Haak, a New York-based luxury lifestyle expert, says that Quintessentially and other concierge firms have grown in popularity among the world elite because the ease of having someone else book or arrange things for you is "too good to pass up".
However, she is sceptical of one forthcoming Quintessentially project; its plans to build a 250m euro ($272m; £211m) "super yacht" for members.
Due to launch in three years time, the floating private club will be 220m (722ft) long and have 100 rooms, as well as a nightclub, bars and numerous restaurants.
Quintessentially's aim is to move it around the world to places where demand for hotel rooms is likely to exceed those locally available, such as Monaco when it is hosting the Formula 1 Grand Prix, or Cannes during the city's film festival.
Ms Haak says: "I'm really very sceptical of it for a few reasons... there have been a number of firms that have attempted to do yacht 'shares' that have slowly disappeared.
"Yachts are personal, even those that are built with chartering in mind block out the dates the owners want to use them.
"Finally, and I think its biggest problem is going to be dockage... a yacht this size will never be able to get 'front row seats'."
While the three co-founders still run Quintessentially together, Mr Simpson has the boss role, although he says the three men simply "play to their strengths", and he "doesn't necessarily see myself as the leader".
He admits, though, to always having been very driven to succeed in life, but says he hopes that he is a good boss "who puts his colleagues first".
Travelling extensively for the company over the years, overseeing the opening of new offices around the world, Mr Simpson says that since having children - he and his wife have two young daughters - he now tries to travel far less.
"I have a three-line whip to stay within shouting range," he says.

On Sunday, Chelsea play a Manchester United side managed by Hiddink's fellow Dutchman Louis van Gaal.
United have been criticised by shirt sponsors Adidas for their possession-based tactics this season.
Hiddink said: "You must not overrate the amount of possession. Most teams want the ball. What do you do with it?"
Hiddink added: "Say we had 65, 67 and 70% possession, but our opponents said, 'We don't care how much possession you have, we have the score on our side'.
"Do you secure your way of playing? Or do you go as soon as possible into the attack? I prefer the latter option. The first thought must be vertical." | Record numbers of patients spent more than four hours in accident and emergency units in England in January, figures leaked to the BBC suggest.

A report found only a few in Wales set realistic goals to help students develop their communication and work skills.
Inspectors recommended colleges set individual learning plans and design programmes that challenge pupils more.
One college was praised for monitoring pupils regularly and advancing targets.
Twelve colleges in Wales provide programmes for people with learning difficulties and disabilities, which range from autistic spectrum disorder to profound and multiple conditions.
In 2015-16, 1,400 students aged over 16 completed independent living skills (ILS) courses across Wales.
But an inspection found more colleges need to:
It also recommended councils should ensure they give colleges all the relevant information about learners' needs when they start their education and develop broader partnerships with post-16 and voluntary organisations.
It said the Welsh Government should review information on learners' achievements to ensure there is an accurate picture of success rates.
But the report also highlighted good practice at several colleges, including at Grŵp Llandrillo Menai which operates across north and west Wales.
It introduced a six-week assessment at the start of courses to gain information about learners' abilities to ensure long-term goals could be achieved both inside and outside of college.
Inspectors found students made notable achievements, including one student who had difficulty socialising who was now attending a youth club and another who had overcome problems ordering and eating lunch on their own at college. | Colleges must do more to prepare young people with learning disabilities for independent living, education inspection body Estyn has said. | 40,290,766 | 279 | 26 | false |
The body was found at a World War Two shipwreck off the County Donegal coast, according to Irish broadcaster, RTÉ.

Sohagi Jahan Tonu, 19, was found dead in high security military zone in the city of Comilla on Sunday.
There are widespread rumours that she was raped, although results from her autopsy have not been released.
Students have formed human chains at sites across Comilla and Dhaka, demanding police find the killers.
Demonstrators gathered at the Shahbagh intersection on Friday evening, with some protesters reportedly saying they would blockade the area for an "indefinite period".

Ronald Cooke, of Granville Road, Cradley Heath, in the West Midlands, attacked his partner Tina Billingham at their home on February 6, before driving her to a doctor's surgery claiming she had "stabbed herself".
Ms Billingham, a mother of two, died in hospital later that day.
Cooke, 55, was convicted of murder at Wolverhampton Crown Court and ordered to serve a minimum of 24 years.
West Midlands Police described Cooke's 20-year relationship with 54-year-old Ms Billingham as "abusive and controlling".
He had previous convictions for assault and actual bodily harm against two former partners, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
The court heard neighbours had witnessed Cooke shouting at his partner before ordering her to get into his van. The argument continued in his vehicle where he stabbed Ms Billingham twice, piercing her heart.
He then drove to the surgery. Staff there found her bleeding heavily from her injuries.
Cooke told them Ms Billingham had stabbed herself in his van with an ornamental sword stick - a weapon with a blade screwed into the scabbard - following an argument, police said.
A post-mortem examination confirmed Ms Billingham had died as a result of stab wounds to the chest and stomach area.
Det Insp Harry Harrison said: "Cooke was clearly a bully and was the root cause of an awful lot of misery in Tina's life.
"Arrogant to the end, he has shown no remorse.
"Men with his character traits have no place in a civilised society. He has now rightly been brought to justice."
He hopes that motivation will drive the players on when the World Cup qualifiers start on Sunday in Malta.
"It was painful," McGhee said. "I did my best to enjoy the Euros, but I was jealous of nations that were there.
"I kept trying to superimpose us on certain games and wondering just what we might have achieved."
Along with Scotland and Malta, Group F contains England, Slovakia, Slovenia and Lithuania. McGhee acknowledges the importance of making a positive start to the campaign but says a win over bottom seeds Malta should not be taken for granted.
"We're under no illusions, we've looked at the video, we've done an analysis of Malta, we know their strengths and weaknesses and we'll prepare for a difficult game but one we're determined to try to win," McGhee said.
"If we do win, it will represent a very positive start and you need that in a campaign.
"We've made it clear to the players that they will be a more serious proposition than Gibraltar were. Anybody who thinks it's just about turning up, they're badly mistaken.
"They're very tactical, they play an unusual shape. They have a bit of physicality in their back three, they have a centre-forward who will run in behind. They have a bit of everything.
"Tactically, we have to make sure that we understand their shape and then we've got to impose our abilities and strengths on them. We're going there to win the game."
McGhee says that, with a lower average age, there is an "enthusiasm and energy" about the squad as they prepare to start the qualifying campaign.
He admits that the withdrawals of Leigh Griffiths, Kevin McDonald, James McArthur and Kieran Tierney is a "disappointment" but urged the remaining players to "step up" and take their opportunity, with Lee Wallace and Tony Watt having been called up as replacements.
McGhee said that two conversations with Watt during the summer convinced him that the player's attitude and mentality were right to be included in the squad again, if the opportunity arose.
He has since been impressed with the Charlton Athletic forward's form since he joined Hearts on loan but added that Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack is not out of the international frame despite not being called up.
"We've been big fans of Tony since we first picked him," said McGhee. "We brought him in for a training camp in an early squad. He had certain issues at that time.
"I had a couple of conversations with him over the summer, quite long conversations, and I reported back to Gordon [Strachan] that what I was hearing was responsible, mature, a change in a sense.
"It's no surprise to me that he's doing well where he is and he's at a level now where we can bring him in. We're delighted to have that type of player in the form he's in now.
"During the summer, we had a meeting where we drew up a list of those we feel we need to watch regularly, to assess and see how they're playing. That list was 45 players long and there are only 24 of those players here.
"So there's a lot more than just Ross not here. We've got a long campaign, 10 games, and I'd imagine that, by the end of those games, we'll have used maybe 40 for the squads.
"There will be people here next time who aren't here today and people who are here today and won't be next time.
"On this occasion, the manager has picked a group of players who he thinks are appropriate for this game."
A virtue advocated by the ancient Chinese sage and philosopher Confucius, it promotes absolute respect to elders, particularly parents and ancestors.
On 10 February, Qilu Evening Post, a regional paper in eastern Shandong Province, shared pictures of 46-year-old Zhang Jinli, who works for a pharmaceutical company in Beijing, virtually prostrate on the station floor at his parents' feet.
He was apparently begging his parents, who are both in their eighties, for forgiveness. The paper reported that Mr Zhang was "emotional, did not think that he had been a filial son, and believed that he had been unworthy to his parents".
Such an overt and profound display of filial piety was praised as a "touching scene" by many social media users, but some chimed in asking whether it was "a bit much".
More than 7,500 users of Sina Weibo, a popular Chinese social media forum, used the hashtag #StationManKneelstoParents, discussing the importance of showing respect to your elders.
The concept of filial piety goes back to 400 BC and is a core virtue of Confucianism, described in the early works of China's best-known philosopher.
Respect towards parents, elders and ancestors are considered key values in Chinese society and culture, and are commonly the subject of debate on Chinese social media.
In September, the hashtag #SaveMotherOrGirlfriend trended, with thousands of Sina Weibo users debating who they would save if one of the two were drowning.
The majority of users said that they would save their mother, saying that you can "always find another girlfriend", or your partner might not be "the one", showing how important the concept remains in contemporary Chinese society.
But it has also been heavily contested following a string of incidents earlier in the year, which saw Chinese elders reacting violently to younger people not giving up their seats on public transport, with social media users asking whether the concept can be followed blindly without question.
In August, a middle-aged woman beat and stripped a younger girl on the Wuhan subway for not letting her sit down.
And in July, an elderly man in Harbin hit a young girl for not giving up her seat on a bus.
It has also has been a recurring theme in Chinese soap operas and dramas, with relationships tested because a mother cannot approve her child's fiancée, and the boyfriend or girlfriend having to win their future in-law's respect.
Despite the Qilu Evening Post reporting that Zhang had not visited his parents in four years, by kneeling to his parents, he warmed the hearts of Chinese social media users.
Popular comments said that his conduct was a "good move" and commended him for his actions, which they said showed "the greatest courtesy".
"You can miss the train, but filial piety cannot wait!" said one user, receiving more than 800 likes.
Another user said his behaviour was "indescribably sad". "No one wants to leave home and their parents. We love them, really love them." But he added that because the pressures of modern life to move away "life is not easy".
Other users contested his behaviour and asked whether his behaviour was a bid to grab attention.
"Filial piety can be expressed," said one user, "but doing this in a large area with a crowd, I inevitably suspect him of grandstanding".

The former Tory vice-chairman and elections adviser to David Cameron announced the diagnosis via Twitter to raise awareness of the condition.
He has been diagnosed with melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, but says he is "optimistic" because specialists told him they have caught it in time.
The Tory is defending the West Midlands seat of Lichfield after 18 years as MP.
Mr Fabricant, well known in the Commons for his shock of blond hair, said he intended to continue campaigning with his "usual enthusiasm".
"The reason why I decided to tweet this - and I thought long and hard about whether to do so - is because if you deal with it early enough it is probably not a life-threatener," he said.
"So the moral of the story is: if you spot something which is changing on your skin, go and see a doctor."
Mr Fabricant was inundated with get-well messages from fellow Twitter users after making his announcement.
The candidates for Lichfield are:
"I just want to go out on a high note. I can't wait," he said on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Tuesday.
Although some people on social media weren't too thrilled about the news, a lot of fans are excited about the actor's return.
One Twitter user is so happy about the announcement that it's probably going to be all they'll be talking about for a while:

The UK Treasury uses the Barnett formula devised in the 1970s to allocate money to the four UK nations.
The system, based on population and which powers are devolved, gives more money per head to Scotland than Wales.
In a televised debate on Wednesday night, Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy said he would "keep the Barnett formula today, tomorrow and forever, and that's what you get with Labour".
But Mr Jones said Wales' funding needs could be met, without changing the formula.
Jenny Downey, described Michael Freshwater, 49, as the "perfect gentleman" and said she "still can't accept" his death.
He was found dead at his flat in Westridge Road, Southampton, on 29 April.
To date 12 arrests have been made in connection with Mr Freshwater's death, but no-one has yet been charged.
In an emotional appeal, Ms Downey said: "Micky was the love of my life, my rock, my best friend, my world, my everything. I will never stop missing him or loving him.
"I feel so lost without him and the pain never ends. I still can't accept he's gone."
Crimestoppers is offering a £10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.
Ms Downey added: "I just want to know what happened and get justice for something that is so, so cruel."
Hampshire Constabulary said it is believed there was a dispute at the property before Mr Freshwater's body was discovered.
The child fell from a property in Lewiston Drive in the Summerston area of Glasgow at about 17:00 on Thursday.
He was taken to the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where his condition was described as serious.
Police said inquiries were under way to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident. Officers could not confirm which floor the boy fell from.
She succeeds former secretary general Jerome Valcke, who was banned from football-related activity for 12 years.
Samoura, 54, spent 21 years working for the United Nations and will start at football's governing body in June.
"It is essential Fifa incorporates fresh perspectives as we continue to restore and rebuild our organisation," said Fifa president Gianni Infantino.
"She has a proven ability to build and lead teams, and improve the way organisations perform. Importantly for Fifa, she also understands that transparency and accountability are at the heart of any well-run and responsible organisation."
Samoura's appointment, announced at Fifa's congress in Mexico City, completes a new-look to an organisation which has been dogged by corruption allegations under Valcke and previous president Sepp Blatter.
Blatter, who had led Fifa since 1998, stood down last year and was later suspended from football for six years for breaching ethics guidelines.
On his appointment in February, Infantino said he would "work tirelessly to bring football back to Fifa and Fifa back to football".
Samoura, who will undergo an eligibility check before her role is ratified, currently works for the UN in Nigeria, and speaks four languages.
She started her UN career as a senior logistics officer with the World Food Programme in Rome in 1995 and has since served as country representative or director in six African countries, including Nigeria.
"Today is a wonderful day for me, and I am honoured to take on this role," she said.
"This role is a perfect fit for my skills and experience - strategic, high-impact team building in international settings - which I will use to help grow the game of football all over the world.
"I also look forward to bringing my experience in governance and compliance to bear on the important reform work that is already underway at Fifa.
"Fifa is taking a fresh approach to its work - and I am eager to play a role in making that approach as effective and lasting as possible."
BBC sports editor Dan Roan:
"For an organisation that has been accused in the past of being "blatantly sexist", the appointment of the first woman to such a senior position will be seen as a positive move.
"With new reforms limiting the powers of the Fifa president, Ms Samoura arguably becomes the most important figure in world football. Effectively the chief executive of the governing body, she will be in charge of the day-to-day running of the organisation as it attempts to recover from the corruption crisis that has threatened its very existence.
"With sponsors, campaigners and fans demanding more independence in the running of the sport, the arrival of a figure from outside football politics will also please some critics. A veteran of UN humanitarian programmes, it will be interesting to hear Ms Samoura's views on Qatar and concerns over the treatment of workers in the country as it prepares to host the 2022 World Cup.
"A Senegalese secretary general will also help FIfa's European president Gianni Infantino build bridges with Africa and other confederations, some of whom no doubt miss his predecessor Sepp Blatter."
The research, published in The Lancet medical journal, says two-thirds of men in China now start to smoke before 20.
Around half of those men will die from the habit, it concludes.
The scientists conducted two nationwide studies, 15 years apart, covering hundreds of thousands of people.
In 2010, around one million people in China died from tobacco usage. But researchers say that if current trends continue, that will double to two million people - mostly men - dying every year by 2030, making it a "growing epidemic of premature death".
While more than half of Chinese men smoke, only 2.4% of Chinese women do.
The study was conducted by scientists from Oxford University, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Chinese Center for Disease Control.
But co-author Richard Peto said there was hope - if people can be persuaded to quit.
"The key to avoid this huge wave of deaths is cessation, and if you are a young man, don't start," he said.
In many parts of China, meals often fit a comfortable pattern. After putting down their chopsticks, men commonly push their chairs back from the table and light cigarettes. No wonder China has struggled to impose a smoking ban in public places. Here, relationships are often built amid clouds of smoke.
Expensive brands of cigarettes, often decorated with gold detailing on the cartons, are given as gifts. And ordinary brands are affordable to all but the very poor, costing just 2.5 yuan ($0.4; £0.25) a pack.
In a country where smoking is so ingrained in daily life, few understand the harmful effects of tobacco use. According to the World Health Organization, only 25% of Chinese adults can list the specific health hazards of smoking, from lung cancer to heart disease.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that only 10% of Chinese smokers quit by choice. Instead, most are forced to give up their cigarettes because they're too sick to continue.
The country that will not quit smoking
While smoking rates have fallen in developed countries - to less than one in five in the US - they have risen in China, as cigarettes have become more available and consumers richer.
China is the world's biggest consumer of cigarettes - one in three cigarettes smoked globally is in China - as well as the world's biggest tobacco producer.
More than 300 million people - about a quarter of the population - smoke, with the average smoker consuming 22 cigarettes a day.
Authorities have shown concern over the rise, with Beijing even introducing a public smoking ban. But efforts have been hampered by the habit's popularity, and its usefulness as a source of tax revenue - the government collects about 428bn yuan (£44bn, $67bn) in tobacco taxes each year.
Globally, tobacco kills up to half of its users, according to the World Health Organization.
A match played on the field in Eriskay has been filmed for screening in the football governing body's new museum in Zurich in Switzerland.
The Fifa World Football Museum is due to be opened to the public next year.
Eriskay is renowned for a shipwreck that inspired the book and film Whisky Galore.
Martin Macaulay, manager of Eriskay FC, told BBC Alba the playing surface was "well bumpy. It's just all over the place.
"One time we had five corners, now we are down to four corners."
But he added: "It is unique with its views of Eriskay. It is a nice place."
Eriskay's other claim to fame centres on the SS Politician, which ran aground off the island on 5 February 1941.
Its cargo included more than 250,000 bottles of whisky.
Author Compton MacKenzie used the grounding of the ship as the basis of his book Whisky Galore in 1947, and an Ealing comedy followed in 1949.
O'Neill says the West Brom defender has the tactical brain to become a coach.
The former Manchester United and Sunderland player, 29, has already won 60 caps for his country.
The Northern Ireland squad are holding a training camp in Turkey this week to prepare for their World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan on Saturday.
Ahead of the game, O'Neill singled-out the Belfast native when he was asked which of his players was most suited to a career in management.
"Jonny's very bright, very intelligent, he knows the game and has strong opinions on the game," O'Neill said.
"Jonny certainly has all the attributes that you would look for in a manager and he's got good qualities as a human being as well as a football coach."
Evans made his Manchester United debut under Sir Alex Ferguson and the centre-back has also been coached by David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Roy Keane and Tony Pulis during his 11-year senior career.
"Within the squad, they all have capabilities and know the game," O'Neill added. "We have a lot of people who have a lot of good human qualities that I think would make them a good manager."
"But you just never know with players. Everyone comes at different times and has a different career path. The biggest thing now is, 'Are you prepared to do the work? Are you prepared to go and start somewhere and work your way into it?'."
"The modern-day player may not just have that desire. You've so many opportunities outside the game. We're seeing people who were perceived as if they were going to be top managers actually settle for being pundits."
"If you have the playing career that some of those guys had I think that's fully understandable. I had to go and start at Brechin City while I was working in financial services - that was what was open to me."
"You do it, work as hard as you can, and hopefully have success. It's where lads get the opportunity and whether they're prepared to take it and stick at it."
"It's a very challenging career but that's what makes it enjoyable. It's very difficult to find something after your playing career that will give you that level of focus and that level of challenge, and certainly management does that."
Northern Ireland are second in Group C, five points behind Germany but remain on course for a play-off spot.
It is the first time in about 20 years that the loyalist organisation has held such a large parade in the town.
The Parades Commission judged it to be "sensitive" and placed conditions on the march.
The organisers said they expected about 3,600 people, including 61 bands, to participate in the parade.
The Apprentice Boys of Derry is an organisation set up to commemorate the Siege of Derry in August 1689.
It is named in memory of 13 young apprentices - supporters of the Protestant King William III - who closed the gates of the walled city to stop the advancing army of the Catholic King James II.
Passenger Warren Becker told local media that jewellery and $1,800 (£1,300) in cash was stolen from his bag while he slept on a flight from Johannesburg to Hong Kong last month.
SAA says there is a suspicion that a crime syndicate is targeting the route.
Three such thefts occurred over as many weeks in December, a spokesman added.
In 2014, there were thefts of $2.6m on flights to Hong Kong, according to official police figures.
The name and nationality of the blacklisted passenger have not been revealed.
He was not charged.
A fellow passenger alerted Mr Becker after seeing the alleged thieves remove his luggage from the overhead compartment and rifle through it, Traveller24 website reports.
Police boarded the plane and carried out searches on several suspects on landing in Hong Kong, but could not find any of the money, the site added.
The witness, who did not wish to be named, said she suspected that the money had been handed over to another accomplice on board, who had managed to give the waiting authorities the slip.
In another of the reported thefts, money was recovered, but the victims were not willing to hand it over to police for evidence to build a case, according to SAA spokesman Tlali Tlali.
A pilot for SAA quoted in the local Times newspaper, said that if the thefts continued, the airline "might have to start installing additional security measures on board such as CCTV cameras."
The photograph was taken near Dingwall, about 14 miles (22km) north west of Inverness, by Scottish Wildcat Action.
A hybrid, a cat with a mix of domestic and wildcat ancestry, was also photographed by the same camera.
The cats were pictured in Scottish Wildcat Action's Strathpeffer priority area.
Wildcats are not known to have been previously recorded in the location where the photographs were taken.
Meanwhile, the project's camera traps in Strathbogie in Aberdeenshire have photographed unidentified cats.
Scottish Wildcat Action has begun what has been described as the largest ever survey for Scottish wildcats.
The 60-day effort involves more than 300 cameras and more than 130 volunteers.
It focuses on five of Scottish Wildcat Action's six priority areas - Strathpeffer, Strathbogie, Strathavon, North Strathspey and the Angus Glens.
Work will be carried out in the other area, Morvern, later in the year.
Photographs can be used to identify wildcats and hybrids by checking the markings on their coats and tails.
Scottish Natural Heritage, one of the project's partners, said data gathered would help inform wildcat protection measures.
These include an extensive neutering campaign to stop feral and pet cats from interbreeding with the endangered wildcats and passing disease on to them.
Last year, the project identified the Angus Glens as having the "most quality wildcats" of its priority areas.
Few pure-bred Scottish wildcats survive because of crossbreeding with feral cats and also loss of habitat and disease.
In a separate project, not involving Scottish Wildcat Action, locations on the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula in the north west Highlands was designated a Scottish wildcat sanctuary in 2014.
Domestic cats near the area have neutered to prevent them breeding with pure wildcats.
The new cardinals are mainly from developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The appointments on Sunday emphasise the growing influence at the Vatican of clerics from the developing world.
Only one of the new cardinals is from Italy, the nation that has dominated church politics for centuries.
Pope Francis, who celebrates his 80th birthday in December, is putting down important markers for the future of the Catholic Church.
Three of those named are American, his first promotions of US clerics to key positions in the church. They include the recently appointed archbishops of Chicago and Indianapolis.
The move reflects the success of Pope Francis' first visit to North America last year.
Cardinals are the most senior members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy after the pope.
It is the third time Pope Francis has appointed new cardinals since his election in 2013 as the first Latin American to lead the Roman Catholic Church.
The number of tech-savvy scams is rising "exponentially", shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said.
In her speech to the party's annual conference she pledged to create a specific offence of identity theft.
A Labour government would also make lessons about online pornography compulsory in schools, she told delegates in Brighton.
"Fraud is up 30%," she said. "But we know that's the tip of the iceberg because most online crime like credit card and identity fraud goes unreported."
Ms Cooper has herself been a victim of credit card fraud, she told the BBC News website, when "like a lot of people" she discovered payments on her bank statement "from strange places" that she had not made.
She reported the problem to her bank, who "immediately sorted it out", but she said the experience highlighted how much card fraud is not properly investigated.
"It became clear that they (the bank) did not expect me to report it to the police, they were not going to report it to the police themselves, and when I did report to the police they were really surprised to have somebody complain.
"And it's clear that most of these credit card cases - a lot of them - are never reported at all and also that the teams that investigate it in the police are still really limited.
"And yet this is a kind of crime that's growing, it's massively escalating, and of course we all pay for it in the end through higher charges, and businesses and banks lose out too."
Ms Cooper used her conference speech to propose a fast-track, "police-first" scheme to encourage IT graduates into policing, she added: "The police say it's growing exponentially, but the government hasn't got a grip."
The police have identified 1,300 organised crime groups targeting the UK that use fraud as their main means of gaining money. They are believed to be operating out of 25 different countries.
"Alongside reductions in some kinds of crime like car theft, is an increase in online crime," she told BBC Two's Daily Politics programme after her speech.
"That's there we live our lives are now and of course organised crime knows that too."
On the final day of Labour's conference the shadow home secretary also turned her fire on Michael Gove, who she accused of blocking a proposal to update sex education to include lessons about the internet.
The education secretary and the coalition government had not "faced up to the 21st century pressures on our children", she said.
"We need a Labour government to make sure there is updated sex and relationship education for boys and girls - zero tolerance of violence," she told activists.
If the party wins in 2015 such lessons would be "compulsory too", she added.
Officers were called to a property in Beckbury Road in Weoley Castle at 10:00 BST on Saturday, police said.
The child was taken to hospital having suffered a suspected cardiac arrest but was later pronounced dead.
A 35-year-old woman from Weoley Castle remains in custody after police were granted more time to question her.
A 37-year-old man from Stourport in Worcestershire who was arrested on Sunday has been released on bail.
A second man, aged 34 and from Oldbury, has been released on bail and will return for further questioning next month.
A post-mortem examination was inconclusive and further tests will now be carried out.
The collision happened on a stretch of the A63, also known as the Great North Road, at South Milford, on Thursday evening.
A local man was pronounced dead at the scene, while a man and two boys were taken to Leeds General Infirmary with serious injuries.
A third boy suffered minor injuries. They were all travelling in the cart.
The van driver suffered minor injuries and was arrested in connection with the incident. He is currently in custody.
North Yorkshire Police wants to speak to anyone who saw the crash, or a small silver Ford van and the horse and cart prior to the collision on the northbound carriageway.
The much-travelled former Blackburn Rovers, Barnsley, Port Vale and Chesterfield striker is in his second spell at Northampton, where he has hit 62 goals spread over 185 appearances.
"Marc is not just a very good player," said manager Justin Edinburgh.
"He's a captain, a leader and someone who helps set the dressing room tone."
Richards' new deal follows the lead of midfielder John-Joe O'Toole, who signed a new two-year deal with the League One club on Friday.
"We have kept hold of two of our key players from the last two seasons," said Edinburgh. "It is an excellent way to begin our summer's work.
"He has a fantastic attitude, his goal tally this season is impressive, he looks as fit and strong as ever and I know he feels happy and settled at the club."
Richards, who was out of contract in June, was part of the Cobblers' side who drew 0-0 in Sunday's final game of the season against Gillingham to finish the season in 16th.
He has scored 13 goals this season, matching O'Toole's total of 10 in the league.
That has taken his career total to 186 from 591 games with 10 different clubs.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper James Goff and striker Joe Iaciofano have signed their first professional contracts with the club.
Donna Newby was last seen at her home address on Rawlinson Street in Barrow shortly before 10:00 GMT on Saturday.
The 33-year-old, described as white, of slim build, with blond hair and about 5ft 4in (1.6m), is believed to have taken baby Corey Coward with her.
She is thought to be wearing a black puffa-style jacket and black trousers.
A force spokesman said: "Police are concerned for her and the child's wellbeing and appeal to anyone who may have seen Donna or Corey to get in touch."
The British got hold of the 105-carat diamond in 1849 when the East India Company annexed the region of Punjab.
The lawyer behind the suit argues the gem is part of Punjab's heritage, and belongs to Pakistan. Punjab was split between India and Pakistan in 1947.
Analysts say the court is unlikely to hear the case.
The petition comes weeks after an Indian pressure group reportedly instructed lawyers to begin legal proceedings in the High Court in London to demand the return of the jewel.
Over the years politicians in India have urged the return of the diamond to what they see as its rightful home.
In 1947, India was granted independence from the British empire, leading to the formation of two nations - India and Pakistan.
Punjab was one of the states partitioned between the two sides.
The Koh-i-Noor diamond was worn by the late Queen Mother and was displayed on top of her crown when her coffin lay in state after her death in 2002.
Experts say its ownership has changed many times and includes Mughal princes, Persian warriors, Afghan rulers and Punjabi Maharajas.
The Pakistani petition, lodged with a court in Lahore by Javed Iqbal Jaffry, names Queen Elizabeth II as a respondent.
"Grabbing and snatching it was a private, illegal act which is justified by no law," he told Reuters.
He is quoted as saying that he has written 786 letters to the Queen and Pakistani officials about it.
Javed Iqbal Jaffry is known in court circles in Lahore, as he often submits petitions on controversial subjects, the BBC's Shumaila Jaffery reports from Lahore.
There has never been a popular debate or campaign to get the Koh-i-Noor diamond returned in Pakistan, our correspondent adds.
However, analysts say that even if his petition is heard, it is very unlikely to achieve its objectives.
In 2010 David Cameron rejected calls for the diamond to be returned to India, saying such a move would set an unworkable precedent.
Varela, 20, had a trial at Old Trafford last season and is David Moyes's first signing as Manchester United manager.
The defender has made one appearance for Penarol but has nine caps for Uruguay's Under-20 side.
"I'm very pleased to be a part of this club, one of the best in the world," he said after signing a five-year deal.
"As everyone in the world knows, this is a huge club that has won everything and I really hope that continues."
Varela is taking part in the Under-20 World Championships, which runs from 21 June to 13 July, in Turkey.
Last week, Penarol head coach Jorge Da Silva, who is reported to have since resigned, said he believed the youngster has earned the move.
Da Silva said: "This is what he deserves. It is a shame to see him go but you can't deny him the opportunity to join a club like this."
Rafael was United's regular right-back last season, with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling also featuring in the role.
South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay, 50, of Sion Hill, Ramsgate, Kent, is accused of two counts of knowingly making a false election expenses declaration.
His campaign director Marion Little, 62, and election agent Nathan Gray, 28, also face charges.
At Southwark Crown Court, Mr Justice Edis set the trial for 14 May next year.
Mr Gray, of Red Oak, in Hawkhurst, Kent, faces one charge of knowingly making a false election expenses declaration.
Ms Little, of New Road in Ware, Hertfordshire, is accused of three counts related to aiding Mr Mackinlay and Mr Gray in making false declarations.
The judge told the three defendants their trial would start on 14 May and was estimated to last six weeks.
The earliest that children tend to be diagnosed at present is at the age of two, although it is often later.
The study, published in the journal Nature, showed the origins of autism are much earlier than that - in the first year of life.
The findings could lead to an early test and even therapies that work while the brain is more malleable.
One in every 100 people has autism, which affects behaviour and particularly social interaction.
NHS: What is autism?
The study looked at 148 children including those at high risk of autism because they had older siblings with the disorder.
All had brain scans at six, 12 and 24 months old.
The study uncovered early differences in the part of the brain responsible for high level functions like language - the cerebral cortex - in children who went on to be diagnosed with autism.
Dr Heather Hazlett, one of the researchers at the University of North Carolina, told the BBC News website: "Very early in the first year of life we see surface brain area differences, that precede the symptoms that people traditionally associate with autism.
"So it gives us a good target for when the brain differences might be happening for children at high risk of autism."
The study opens up possibilities for big changes in the way autism is treated and diagnosed.
Giving children brain scans, particularly those in high-risk families, could lead to children being diagnosed earlier.
In the long run, it might be possible to do something similar for all infants if DNA testing advances enough to become a useful tool to identify children at high risk.
If it can be diagnosed early, then behavioural therapies such as those that train parents in new ways of interacting with an autistic child can be introduced earlier when they should be more effective.
Prof Joseph Piven, another researcher on the project, told the BBC: "Now we have the possibility that we can identify those who are most likely to go on to to get autism.
"That allows us to consider intervening before the behaviours of autism appear, I think there's wide consensus that that's likely to have more impact at a time when the brain is most malleable and before the symptoms have consolidated.
"So we find it very promising."
The researchers fed the brain scan images into an artificial intelligence. It was able to predict which children would develop autism with 80% accuracy.
Carol Povey, director of the National Autistic Society's Centre for Autism, said: "It's possible that MRI scanning of this type could be developed to help families who already have an autistic child to access earlier diagnosis for subsequent children.
"This would mean those children could receive the right support as early as possible."
However, she warned that autism was manifested in many different ways and "no single test is likely to be able to identify potential autism in all children".
The study also pours further cold water on the debunked claims that the MMR jab causes autism.
One of the reasons the link took hold was that autism tends to be diagnosed around the time that the vaccine is given to children.

In June 2010, a man now in his 40s, made an allegation of sexual assault at St Benedict's School in Ealing, west London.
The wanted man has been named by police as Lawrence Soper, 68.
Police believe he may be in Italy and are appealing to the public to notify them of his whereabouts.
Mr Soper was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault in September 2010.
He was bailed to return to a west London police station in March last year but failed to appear, said police.
A European Arrest Warrant requires member states of the European Union to arrest and surrender a suspect for prosecution.
George Smith, 55, punched, kicked and stamped on 45-year-old Steven Larkin before throttling him at Stravanan Road, Castlemilk, on 7 December 2014.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that Mr Larkin was attacked inside Smith's home then dragged from the flat and killed.
Smith denied murder but was found guilty by a majority verdict. Sentence was deferred until next month.
The court was told that the brutal beating Mr Larkin suffered was not life-threatening.
It heard his death came from being strangled with his scarf.
It emerged after the guilty verdict that Smith has a number of previous convictions, including one for violence.
Since the inception of the club 10 years ago, the former Reading captain has taken the club from part time to full time in the Women's Super League.
An anterior cruciate ligament injury ended her playing career but prompted Chambers into management in 2012.
Chambers' quest for success has seen her take on almost every job title.
"The club has been close to my heart for a long time," said Chambers, 30, who currently works as both the club's director of football and first-team manager.
"If I look back to 2006 when the women's team was formed, you would not have ever dreamt of it being here," she told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"It has been a lot of hours, but it was not something that I was going to let fall.
"I would say I'm a workaholic but it is more because of my drive and where I want this club to go."
Chambers is in her second spell as boss, having taken charge of the club when it was in the third tier of English football.
Jayne Ludlow became manager after the club reached Women's Super League Two, but then left to become manager of Wales.
Chambers took charge once more, masterminding promotion to the top flight with a group of players working part time.
"If you think of all the roles that a WSL team needs to have, it was just me that was trying to manage that," she added.
"I was able to do day-to-day stuff in the office and then training in the evenings. We only trained four hours a week and had to produce quality on a Sunday."
Jon Horton, the club's former general manager, says Chambers was the driving force behind their meteoric rise.
"She's taken it from scratch and taken them all the way to the top tier," said Horton.
"It's clear she has devoted her life to get women's football at Reading to the highest level."
That devotion was tested earlier this year, when Horton left the club to join Ludlow's Wales setup.
It came towards the end of the busiest period in the club's history.
Many players had signed full-time contracts and they had completed an ambitious move to the 12,000-seater stadium Adams Park.
And while the club searched for Horton's replacement, Chambers had little choice but to assume control of that role too.
"She is seven months pregnant and in the office first thing in the morning and is the last one to leave," said Reading's current club captain and club secretary Kirsty McGee.
"She pushes things off the pitch that you do not always see."
Chambers' task has become a little less frantic after Russell Fraser was appointed the club's new general manager on 3 May.
"There's now someone looking after the club off the pitch, and driving it where it needs to go," said Chambers
"I can now focus solely on the football, and making sure we get more and more points on the board."
The hard work will not stop at reaching WSL 1 however, with Chambers and her staff pointing to lofty ambitions for the future.
"I wanted this club play in the top flight of women's football, and we're there," she added.
"But now I want us to be pushing for the top of the league, and even the Champions League."
Reading Women's short-term aim is to simply establish themselves in WSL 1 for years to come yet.
If the hard work of Chambers is anything to go by, they certainly have a chance.
The victims, believed to be mostly Muslim and Christian labourers, consumed the toxic drink at two parties in the central city of Faisalabad.
Only non-Muslims are allowed to buy and consume alcohol in Pakistan, but many people illegally brew alcohol at home.
The provincial governor has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
Victims fainted after drinking the alcohol at a birthday party and another private event in Faisalabad, authorities said.
Most reportedly died before they could be rushed to hospital.
"The death toll from the two parties has reached 18," senior police official Javed Ahmed Khan told the AFP news agency.
"Around two dozens others are heavily affected by the toxic liquor and battling for consciousness."
Drinkers often buy illegal liquor because legal wine shops are closed during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Locally brewed alcohol has been traditionally available in two forms - kuppi and tharra- in Pakistan.
Buyers are said to often mix the two, leading to a more potentially lethal drink.
The 30-year-old will join the Stags on a free transfer after League One club Southend decided not to offer him a new contract for the 2016-17 season.
"I'm just looking forward to getting my fitness levels to where they need to be so I can be ready to provide for the team," he told the club website.
Hurst made 151 appearances in four years with Southend, scoring 19 goals.
Mansfield will complete the deal on 1 July, but the length of his contract has not been disclosed.
His people confirmed to Newsbeat he was treated for Basal Cell Carcinoma after the Wolverine actor was recently pictured with another bandage on his nose.
But his representatives say he's "all good" after the procedure.
BCC is a slow-growing skin cancer and is linked to sun exposure. It accounts for about 75% of skin cancers but rarely kills.
Last night, the 46-year-old tweeted "Sunscreen" with a picture reference to Baz Luhrmann's 1998 song Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen.
Jackman first revealed he was diagnosed with BCC in November, when he posted a picture of himself online after a similar procedure.
At the time, he said his prognosis was good and pleaded with fans to stay protected from the sun.
He then had more cancerous cells removed in May.
He's recently said he believes he'll have many many more scares but claims it's the most "minor" of all the skin cancers.
His wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, first persuaded him to get the mark on his nose checked by a doctor.
Surgery is the main treatment for BCC. If left untreated, it doesn't usually spread to other parts of the body, but it can damage or disfigure surrounding tissue.

Researchers say more than half the deaf children they assessed had reading difficulties as severe as the problems faced by hearing dyslexic children.
The team found there are no specific interventions routinely offered to deaf children to support reading.
The Department for Education says it is giving £1m to councils in England over two years to help deaf children.
The study was carried out by a team from City University London, and was funded by the Nuffield Foundation.
It compared two groups of children across the UK aged 10 to 11.
One was made up of deaf children who communicate orally rather than by using sign language (known as "oral deaf"), and the other hearing children with dyslexia.
In all, 79 children with a severe-profound level of deafness took part in the study, representing a significant proportion of oral deaf children in the UK in this age group.
As a result of their hearing loss, deaf children have difficulty hearing the speech sounds that make spoken language and upon which reading is based.
The report says that hearing children with literacy difficulties are "likely to be described as dyslexic", which results in them being given the specialist support they need.
The team found that the oral deaf children were not offered the right kinds of support, and were "needlessly falling behind" their peers.
Dr Rosalind Herman, one of the report's authors, said: "Too many deaf children continue to fail at reading.
"Poor reading is not an inevitable outcome for every deaf child," she said.
"With a proper understanding of their reading deficits and appropriate support, the outlook for deaf children in the UK can change."
Josh Hillman, of the Nuffield Foundation, said the report "reveals the extent to which the education system is currently failing to address the needs of deaf children with reading difficulties".
However, he sees some cause for optimism.
"It also demonstrates that it is possible to identify and address those difficulties at an early stage," he said.
"We now need to see specialist reading interventions for deaf children who communicate using spoken language to ensure they receive the equivalent support to their hearing classmates."
The Department for Education points out that in 2013 "more deaf children than ever before achieved five good GCSEs including English and maths" in England.
Last year, 42.7% of deaf children achieved 5 GCSEs at A* to C including English and maths. This is compared with 37.4% in the previous year and 28.3% in 2007/08.
"We are providing £1 m over two years so that councils can work together more effectively to help deaf children," a DfE spokesman said, "and we are also funding the National Deaf Children's Society and the National Sensory Impairment Partnership to look at how well councils support deaf students."
Belfast man Ciaran Hinds received a degree from Queen's University in his home city for services to film and drama.
Roma Downey, from Londonderry, was honoured by the University of Ulster, of which she is an alumna.
She received a Doctorate of Fine Art (DFA) for her contribution to acting and philanthropy.
The university also gave honorary degrees to author and former BBC correspondent Fergal Keane and screenwriter Frank Cotrell-Boyce.
Ciaran Hinds has appeared in a number of major films, including Road to Perdition, Munich and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two.
He also voiced the Troll King in Frozen, appears as Mance Rayder in hit HBO drama Game of Thrones and was Julius Caesar in the series Rome.
Speaking after the ceremony, he said: "It is not something I usually go for in my life, but it is such an honour and a privilege to be considered for a doctorate.
"My father was a doctor and I was never going to follow in his footsteps because I am not very good with blood, but here I am."
Hinds studied at Queen's 40 years ago and left to become an actor.
"I'm the slowest graduate in Christendom but it was lovely to see all the graduates," he said.
Roma Downey recently starred as Mary in the film Son of God, and has appeared in a number of TV series, including Touched by an Angel and The Division.
Talking about the honorary degree, she said: "It is very special, my entire family will be showing up. I am delighted and thrilled.
"It is so nice to be home, I have come back regularly over the last 25 years - I reside in Los Angeles, but I love coming home, it is like coming back to the well, I feel it is restorative and regenerative."
Over the past week ministers and their officials in England have been putting real thought into how and when they should make their move. Given the latest developments, expect it any day.
Why now? Quite simply, they've been told the time has come. Senior NHS officials have advised them that the health service needs to start making plans if a new contract is to be brought in this summer as planned.
That's because hospitals would need to carry out a detailed review of rotas and staffing before contract offers are made in May, in time for the August start date.
But once that has been done, the contract could be imposed quickly. Within six months about 80% of junior doctors would be on a new contract - this is because as trainees, most of them quickly rotate through jobs.
That's the theory anyway. But imposition is fraught with difficulties - and ministers know this. If they do impose the contract there will be a collective holding of breath in the corridors of power as they wait to see what junior doctors do next.
That's because the anger and determination of the profession to resist these changes has time and again taken ministers by surprise.
The junior doctors row explained
What exactly do junior doctors do?
How does your job compare?
Analysis: Why should we care?
So how would the BMA react? The union has so far refused to be drawn on the issue in detail publicly.
One option is to carry on with strikes, which they have the mandate to do - although privately there is concern within the union that they could lose public support if they do (the latest poll by Ipsos MORI shows two-thirds back the medics).
Legal challenges are also being discussed behind the scenes, while a mass non-signing of the contract or symbolic resignation from the NHS could take place - but if doctors subsequently turned up at work it could be argued they're effectively accepting the terms.
The fact is there are limited options. The NHS is effectively a monopoly employer after all.
But it would be a risk though to assume that doesn't mean there will be no impact on the numbers staying in the health service. Already one in two doctors who finish the foundation stage of their training - the first two years after graduating from medical school - step off the junior doctor training ladder by not going straight into speciality training.
Some go abroad - to travel and to work - while others are tempted by opportunities in alternative sectors, including the pharmaceutical industry and (apparently) cruise liners who employ ship doctors. And Scotland and Wales would no doubt welcome some of the best English trainees into their health systems given half the chance.
Significant numbers are also working as locums in the NHS, in the knowledge that the demand for doctors means there is good money to be earned by working in a freelance capacity.
Of course, many of these medics do end up returning to training. But even under the existing contract that has not been enough to fill the gaps - there are shortages in a whole host of specialities from GPs to A&E.
If the government does go ahead with imposition and that situation is made worse, questions will be asked in years to come whether the government did the right thing. Imposition may solve a short-term problem, but the long-term effect is unknown. The stakes could not be higher.

While earnings beat expectations, sales guidance for the current quarter was lower than analysts expected.
Apple said it sold a record 51 million iPhones and 26 million iPads.
"We are really happy with our record iPhone and iPad sales," said Apple boss Tim Cook in a statement.
Apple said it expected revenue of between $42bn and $44bn for its second quarter of 2014, slightly less than analysts had forecast.
Crucially for analysts, the firm said revenue rose by 29% in the greater China region, which includes China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, compared to the same period last year.
On a conference call to discuss the earnings, Mr Cook said: "We really turned in a stellar quarter in greater China."
Apple announced a deal with the world's biggest mobile phone network, China Mobile, in December, and many investors had been closely watching the earnings for hints on the company's performance in the region.
Apple's phones have been available on China Mobile since 17 January.
"Last week was the best week for activations we've ever had in China," said Mr Cook, while noting that iPhones are only available on China Mobile in 16 cities at the moment.
By the end of the year, Apple hopes to expand its offerings to more than 300 cities.
However, Apple said sales in the rest of the Asia-Pacific region fell 9%, and that profits were hurt by currency fluctuations, particularly with the Japanese yen.
Apple also reported a sales dip in the Americas as well.
This was partially due to stronger than expected sales of the more expensive iPhone 5S.
Apple executives said on the call that it took the firm some time to change its supply chain to provide the US market with more of those phones compared with the cheaper iPhone 5C, primarily aimed at Chinese consumers.
Apple also noted that some US carriers changed their upgrade policies, which hurt sales in the region, as consumers became more reluctant to upgrade aging iPhones.
Sales of iPods - Apple's once iconic music player - fell 52%.
"I think all of us have known for some time that iPod is a declining business," said Mr Cook.

Bayley, 28, will be hoping to improve on the Class 7 individual silver and team bronze he won at London 2012.
Welshman Davies, 31, who broke his back playing rugby in 2005, claimed Class 1 individual bronze four years ago.
Eleven of the squad have previous Games experience with Liverpool's Jack Hunter-Spivey making his debut.
Aaron McKibbin and Ross Wilson, who won team bronze with Bayley in the Class 6-8 competition, return again along with fellow team bronze winners Sara Head of Wales and Jane Campbell who competed in the Class 1-3 event.
Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sue Gilroy has been named for her fifth Games in the Class 4 event while Paul Davies will team up with his namesake and fellow Welshman Rob in the Class 1 team competition hoping to add to the European title they won in 2013.
European team silver medallists Paul Karabardak of Wales and David Wetherill have also been included while Kim Daybell completes the squad.
Performance Director Gorazd Vecko believes the squad can improve on their performance at the London Paralympics.
"Four years ago we had nine players qualified for London and we now have 12 players qualified for Rio so we are in a better position," he said.
"Our target is four to six medals and we are on track to achieve that. For the first time we have two athletes who are world number one in their class - Rob Davies and Will Bayley - and we have three other players in the top five in the world." | World champion Will Bayley and European champion Rob Davies have both been included in the 12-strong GB table tennis team for the Rio Paralympics. | 35,742,545 | 322 | 33 | false |
Noor Salman, widow of Omar Mateen, is accused of obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting his material support to the so-called Islamic State.
A California federal judge said Ms Salman is not a flight risk or a danger to public safety.
But she agreed to hold the decision for two days as prosecutors appeal.
The June 2016 attack was the worst mass shooting in modern US history.
Who was the Orlando club gunman?
Wife of gunman 'knew of attack'
Orlando Police Chief John Mina said in a statement that he was "disappointed" by Wednesday's move to free 31-year-old Ms Salman.
A survivor of the shooting, Chris Hansen, expressed shock at the decision.
"You've got people who are behind bars for selling marijuana but she might be allowed free, how does that make any sense?" he told the Orlando Sentinel.
"This whole situation is heartbreaking. It's going to make it hard to sleep at night - again."
Oakland-based Judge Donna Ryu ruled that Ms Salman could live with her uncle in northern California, but must wear an electronic ankle monitor.
The judge said there is no evidence the accused is directly linked to any terror groups, or that she personally holds extremist views.
She added that it was "debatable" whether the government had enough evidence to convict the accused.
Ms Salman's lawyer, Linda Moreno, said it was "extraordinarily rare" for bail to be given in terrorism cases.
The accused's attorneys said the bond would be $500,000 (£407,000).
Ms Salman has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and claimed she was victim of domestic abuse.
During pre-trial proceedings, federal prosecutor Sarah Sweeney said the couple had run up $25,000 in credit card debt and spent about $5,000 in the days before the attacks.
Included in the purchases was an $8,000 diamond ring for Ms Salman.
The couple also made her the beneficiary of Mateen's bank account in the event of his death, prosecutors said.
Earlier this month, the same judge ordered that Ms Salman undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
She was not arrested until 16 January 2017, at her parents' home near San Francisco.
A date for her trial has not yet been set.
Prosecutors say Ms Salman "knowingly misled" FBI interrogators in the hours after the attack, in which her husband pledged support to multiple terrorist groups, including the self-styled Islamic State.
They say she helped her husband in scouting the nightclub before the attack.
Her lawyers have argued she was a victim of a "tragic marriage" to Mateen, and that she had no prior knowledge of the attack.
Court documents filed by the defence state that Mateen suffered erratic mood swings due to steroid abuse and that he threatened to kill his wife if she left him.
Mateen opened fire at the Pulse nightclub as it was about to close for the night. He was killed by police.
The suspects are thought to have used fake accounts to join the scheme. They then disabled the cars' GPS-trackers and sold the cars for parts.
Police were alerted when car-sharing service Enjoy said 100 of its red Fiat 500s had been stolen in six months.
The service's owner ENI said it had lost €1.5m (£1.25m; $1.6m).
According to police, the thieves, based around Naples, joined the car-sharing scheme by creating fake accounts using stolen identities and credit card details.
They would then take the train to Rome, take as many as three of the distinctive red cars at a time and disable their GPS trackers before driving back at high speed by motorway to Naples. At that point the cars were dismantled and their parts sold off.
After police began investigating the gang, a second GPS tracker was installed in the cars which helped lead investigators to the suspects.
However, the gang soon spotted the second device and threw it into the street.
Police said their breakthrough finally came when they raided a house belonging to two of the suspects where they found credit cards, ID cards, phone Sim cards and social security numbers, all in other people's names.
Many of the details had been used to create car-sharing accounts, police said. The three suspects were detained on allegations including aggravated theft and unauthorised use of a credit card.
In his first comment since the UK prime minister wrote to him setting out his objectives, Mr Tusk said there was "no guarantee" of a deal by December.
"I have to say that it will be really difficult to find an agreement," added the European Council president.
Talks and sounding out other countries will start next week.
Mr Tusk made his comments at an emergency EU summit on migration, in Malta, which Mr Cameron was not able to attend because of the visit of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi to the UK.
The council president said the chances of getting a deal on the UK's demands by the time EU leaders next met at a summit in a month's time were not high.
"Their requests are tough and this is why this matter was so interesting for me, but I have to say that it would be really difficult to find an agreement and, for sure, there is no guarantee that we can do this by December," said Mr Tusk.
Speaking to BBC Newsnight, French digital affairs minister Axelle Lemaire suggested there was "no willingness, at least in the short term" to change EU treaties to accommodate the UK's request to restrict newly-arrived EU citizens' access to benefits.
"This is not something that the French government would see as being reasonable... So there's the question of is it legal or not and there's the question of is it good to raise the issue at the moment and this, the timing is probably not so good," she said.
Ms Lemaire also sounded a note of caution over the proposal to exempt the UK from "ever-closer union", questioning what it actually meant.
"If it's getting nearer to a protocol like the ones that were signed for Denmark and for Ireland, this is a matter open for discussion.
"But if it's a complete re-questioning of the sense of the original treaties, this is probably not something we could agree on," she told Newsnight.
Mr Cameron bowed to pressure from other EU leaders and set out the UK's four key demands in the negotiations on Tuesday.
He is keen to press ahead with an in/out referendum but has said he will not announce the date of it, which must be before the end of 2017, until he has secured an agreement from the other EU leaders.
In his letter Mr Cameron said four objectives lay at the heart of the UK's renegotiations:
Examining the four key points from Cameron's letter
If the demands are met, Mr Cameron said "I am ready to campaign with all my heart and soul to keep Britain inside a reformed European Union".
At a press conference on Tuesday, he hit back at claims by former Tory Chancellor Lord Lawson that the four goals were "disappointingly unambitious", saying they reflected what the British people wanted and would be "good for Britain and good for the European Union".
"It is mission possible and it is going to take a lot of hard work to get there," said the prime minister.
But his demands were met with ridicule by some Conservative Eurosceptics, with backbencher Bernard Jenkin stunning MPs by saying: "Is that it?"
Former Tory cabinet minister John Redwood said Mr Cameron should be asking for "much more" and there was nothing in Mr Cameron's speech to suggest Britain would get "anything like the protection we need" from European laws.
"It's about more than borders and migration," he added, "it's about who governs".
Referendum on the UK's future in the European Union
The UK is to have a referendum by the end of 2017 on whether to remain a member of the European Union or to leave. The vote is being proceeded by a process of negotiations in which the Conservative government is seeking to secure a new deal for the UK.

Bill Potts's sexuality will be revealed pretty much straightaway in her second line of dialogue when the show returns to BBC One on 15 April.
"It shouldn't be a big deal in the 21st Century. It's about time isn't it?" Pearl Mackie, who plays Bill, told the BBC.
"That representation is important, especially on a mainstream show."
She added: "It's important to say people are gay, people are black - there are also aliens in the world as well so watch out for them.
"I remember watching TV as a young mixed race girl not seeing many people who looked like me, so I think being able to visually recognise yourself on screen is important."
"[Being gay] is not the main thing that defines her character - it's something that's part of her and something that she's very happy and very comfortable with."
Gay and bisexual characters have featured in Doctor Who before, such as Captain Jack and River Song, but this is the first time the Doctor's permanent companion has been openly gay.
Although Captain Jack - played by John Barrowman - travelled with the Doctor for a number of episodes, he was not a full-time companion in the traditional sense.
Mackie said it had been "kind of insane" to be the centre of attention since she was announced in the role last April, despite not being seen on screen until this Easter.
"My Twitter follower count went from 400-and-something to 16,500 in about two hours, so that was pretty mental," said the actress, who is taking over from Jenna Coleman as the Doctor's companion.
"But it's been really nice, everyone seems to be really excited. It's sort of like being welcomed into a family and all the fans have been really welcoming."
The actress, who was performing in the West End production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the time she was cast, said the role of Bill was "the biggest job I've ever done".
"Looking at previous alumni, it's only done wonderful things for their careers - Matt Smith is phenomenal in The Crown, Jenna Coleman has just gone on to do Victoria and Billie Piper is doing incredible things," she said.
"For me if I even get to do [a small amount] of those kind of things it would be incredible. It's an amazing platform for me and it opens a lot of doors that wouldn't necessarily have been open before - it's very exciting."
This series of Doctor Who will be Peter Capaldi's last, as the actor is due to hand over the key to the Tardis during this year's Christmas special.
Speculation is mounting over who will take over the role, with Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge among the potential candidates.

Simon Hammersley, Alex Tait and Micky Young tries and Craig Willis' penalty put Falcons 22-3 up at the break, with Thomas Laranjeira responding for Brive.
Tries from Nicolas Bezy and Christopher Tuatara and two penalties from Laranjeira edged the French side ahead.
Hammersley then neatly kicked and gathered to seal victory late on.
The return of captain Will Welch was one of 11 changes the Falcons made from the ultimately costly defeat by Russian side Enisei-STM, as Newcastle looked to book a place in the last eight.
However, with Newport Gwent Dragons and Montpellier already securing safe passage as two of the three best runners-up in the group stage, progress was impossible even before Falcons kicked off at Kingston Park.
Newcastle Falcons: Hammersley; Tait, C. Harris, Socino, Kibirige; Willis, Young; Rogers, Lawson, Foster, Botha, Thompson, Wilson, Welch (capt), Chick.
Replacements: McGuigan, B. Harris, Ryan, Green, Mayhew, Dawson, Powell, Marshall.
CA Brive: Sola; Namy, Laranjeira, Tuatara-Morrison, Masilevu; Bezy, Pejoine (capt); Lavergne, Da Ros, Jourdain, Lebas, Steenkamp, Sanconnie, Luafutu, Hauman.
Replacements: Ribes, Pointud, Tuncer, Koyamaibole, Whetton, Iribaren, Petre, Mafi.

The "zig-zag" at Highcliffe, near Christchurch, was initially closed in March amid fears about its stability.
A survey has since found failure of the timber support is "potentially imminent" and it needs rebuilding.
So far, £530,000 has been earmarked for the project but it is not yet known how much it will cost.
Christchurch Borough Council said it hoped to re-open the path in time for Easter 2018.
The bottles were seized as part of an operation to tackle organised crime within the city's Albanian community, Sussex Police said.
Several premises are being investigated for breaching licence conditions, a spokeswoman added.
Earlier raids also saw eight people charged with drugs offences and 11 people arrested.
Details of the businesses involved have not been released - but police said the pub, two kebab shops, three cafe bars and an off-licence were still being investigated.
They were visited on Thursday by officers from Sussex Police, the Immigration Service, HM Revenue and Customs, and Brighton council licensing, trading standards and environmental health.
"I think he probably would if I'm honest," says Nick Bagnall, who's directing a new version of Romeo and Juliet, as the Bard (maybe might possibly have) intended it - with two men in the lead roles.
We know Shakespeare intended Juliet to be played by a young man - all female roles were played by boys and men at that time.
But this version, staged by the Liverpool Everyman, is the first time a major British theatre has made it about gay lovers.
One theory - put forward by Oscar Wilde, among others - says Shakespeare wrote Juliet and other girls' roles for a young actor who was the object of his affections.
"There's a huge debate around what he thought about the actor playing Juliet," says Bagnall.
"I'm pretty good on the archives and research, and I think he probably would have quite liked to have done that [written Juliet as a male] if he'd been allowed, I really do."
The Liverpool production keeps the play's original title, but in the play itself Juliet is now Julius - played by 20-year-old Elliott Kingsley.
"I think he'd totally love it," Kingsley says, continuing the speculation about Shakespeare's true feelings.
"Shakespeare wrote this part for a man. A boy played Juliet originally, and it's widely believed that it was a boy that he was in love with, and that this was his love letter to this actor.
"So it's not beyond the realms of possibility for a man to say these words with truth because originally that's the way it was."
'I'd unearthed something exciting'
The speculation about Shakespeare's sexuality stems from his sonnets, which are dedicated to "Mr WH" and many of which are addressed to a mysterious young man known as the "Fair Youth". But there's scant evidence about who this figure was, or where the Bard's affections lay.
The idea to turn Romeo and Juliet into a gay love story came when an actor delivered one of Juliet's yearning monologues during an audition.
Bagnall says: "Watching a male speaking that rather feminine language about the frustration of needing Romeo to come to him that night, I just thought, I wonder [what it would be like] if I read the whole play again with that in mind.
"And with a few trims and changing 'she' to 'he' and 'mistress' to 'master', I felt like I'd unearthed something really exciting in that play."
In the original Romeo and Juliet, the hero is initially in love with Rosaline before falling for Juliet. In the Liverpool version, Bagnall says Romeo is confused about his sexuality.
"I think when he sees Julius it unlocks an inner turmoil in him and it makes that journey really muscular, and the inner turmoil he lives with is really interesting."
That manliness lends the story unexpected new meanings, says the director. He is speaking just after the cast have rehearsed the final death scene.
"It was a really violent scene, which I've never really seen before," he says. In the past, he's found that ending "quite flowery" and has been "disappointed".
"But watching it this morning with muscularity and a 6ft 2in lump of a lad in tears - there are certainly [new] things that are pinging out more and more."
And there's another meaning pinging out now. In this version, Romeo is white and Julius and the Capulet family are not. That raises questions about attitudes towards homosexuality in some countries and communities.
"It makes it incredibly exciting and devastating when we open up a discussion about young gay men in certain countries around the world where, still happening to this day, they're banished, tortured, abused, sent from their families, disowned for being a gay man.
"Within the company of people I'm working with, that's been quite a big decision that we've embraced - the race, and how you can justify anything, which the Capulets do anyway, with the phrase 'in God's name.'"
Romeo and Juliet opens on Wednesday, but the 14-strong company has been together for three and a half months - performing in the Liverpool Everyman's first rep season for 25 years.
They are following in the footsteps of the likes of Julie Walters, Bill Nighy, Pete Postlethwaite and Jonathan Pryce, who emerged from the illustrious Everyman rep companies of the early 1970s.
This year's company started with a five-star Fiddler on the Roof, followed by the surreal Conquest of the South Pole, children's show The Story Giant, austerity musical The Sum, and ending with Romeo and Juliet.
"If Romeo and Juliet had been the first show in the season I don't think I would be able to do some of the things I've been doing, in terms of just letting your guard down," says George Caple, who plays Romeo.
"I genuinely believe the work is better when people properly trust each other in the room, which we all do."
Romeo and Juliet runs until 7 June, then all five Everyman Rep shows will play in rotation until 1 July.

Justin Wilson, 37, was struck by a piece of flying debris in the ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania in August.
An inquest in Northampton heard race leader Sage Karam hit a barrier at 200mph, scattering debris on the track.
Father-of-two Wilson was hit on the helmet and died the next day.
Coroner Anne Pember read a statement from Wilson's father, Keith, who described the event in lap 179 of 200 as a "freak accident".
It said: "[Karam] was unhurt but debris from his car flew high into the air and a large, heavy piece hit Justin on the head as he approached the scene of the accident.
"Justin was unconscious, he was extracted from the car and rushed to hospital. He underwent surgery and was kept on a life support machine until the following day.
"The decision was then taken to switch off the machine. Justin was a kind, caring and loving son who is sadly missed by all of his family and friends."
Mrs Pember concluded that Wilson's death was accidental.
Sheffield-born Wilson, who lived in Northampton and Colorado, formerly raced in Formula 1 for the Minardi and Jaguar teams and was competing for Andretti Autosport at the time of his death.
He enjoyed greater success in Champ Car, finishing as series runner-up in 2006 and 2007 before switching to IndyCar racing in 2008, after Champ Car merged with the Indy Racing League.
He finished second in the previous IndyCar race in Mid-Ohio on 2 August, his first podium finish since 2013, while his final victory came at the Firestone 550 at Texas Motor Speedway in June 2012.
About 500 people attended Wilson's funeral at Paulerspury in Northamptonshire in September.
About 100,000 saw just the start of the final day of the race in Middlesbrough. The 136km route finished in Scarborough.
Welcome to Yorkshire said a million saw the second stage on Saturday, in which male and female cyclists were riding the same route for the first time.
Chief Executive Sir Gary Verity said: "Crowds were once again phenomenal".
The race is split into three stages and covers 515 km (320 miles) across the Yorkshire landscape.
Frenchman Thomas Voeckler sped to the finishing line in Scarborough stealing an electric win in the last leg of the race.
On Saturday, Team Sky's Danny van Poppel snatched victory in the men's stage while Dutch rider Kirsten Wild won the women's.
Fellow Dutch cyclist Dylan Groenewegen won the first stage between Beverley and Settle on Friday.
Otley rider and Olympian Lizzie Armitstead, 27, who finished in the chasing pack, said the start of the second leg was "brilliant".
The road race world champion said she had "a goose-pimple moment at the beginning to be supported by my community".
"It's not something I ever thought would happen to me - to start a race in my hometown and as world champion - both are a surprise and a bonus."
Wild said she would share the £15,000 prize money with her fellow Team Hitec Products' mates.
"It was a great opportunity for women's cycling and it has been really good to race here, in front of enthusiastic crowds," she said.
British Olympic champion Sir Bradley Wiggins pulled out of the first day of the race towards the end of the stage.
Despite the heavy rain, many children from local schools cheered the riders on as they made their way through villages in the Yorkshire Wolds and headed into North Yorkshire.
A number of riders were involved in a crash soon after the start of the race as they cycled over open fields outside of Beverley.
As well as the professional race, there is a mass-participation "sportive" for amateur cyclists along the same roads as the Tour de Yorkshire.
The idea for the event was launched after Yorkshire hosted the Tour de France Grand Depart in 2014.
Starting in Beverley, the race weaves through the Wolds, crossing the A64 at Tadcaster before heading north past Wetherby and into the Yorkshire Dales.
Once the cyclists leave Pateley Bridge and after a tough climb at Greenhow Hill, riders travel downhill from Grassington to Gargrave and along the A65 before a finish in Settle.
The second leg, which begins in the hometown of Olympic cyclist and 2014's Otley Grand Prix winner, Lizzie Armitstead, sees male and female cyclists ride the same route for the first time.
Past Harewood, the start of last year's Grand Depart, the route loops to the east of Leeds, then heads south towards Pontefract and into South Yorkshire for a finish in Doncaster.
The final day starts in Middlesbrough, which forms part of the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, before riders take a tour of market towns including Stokesley and Northallerton.
From Thirsk they will head on to Sutton Bank and through the national park before going over the moors to Whitby and finishing along Marine Drive in Scarborough.
The ceremonial start takes place at 11:10 BST with the race proper getting under way at 11:35 BST. It is expected the riders will finish the route at approximately 16:30 BST.
Veteran photographer Elsa Garrison is part of Getty Images's team of 40 specialist sport photographers who will be at this year's Olympic Games in Rio which begin on 5 August. Here Garrison has picked out some of her favourite images from past Olympics.
What grabs my attention in this picture is the sheer joy in Timea Nagy's face after retaining the gold medal for women's fencing. I am drawn to reaction pictures as they really show the human aspect of the sport. It doesn't matter if it is a winning moment or a moment of defeat, these types of pictures tell the best story.
Taken at the 1948 Olympic Games, this picture illustrates a moment that photographers strive to capture at every Olympic Games. Technology and demands for imagery have changed significantly since then, but the moments we look to capture have not.
What is great about this picture is that unlike today, this image then was a lot harder to get. It was shot on film - which had exposure limitations. The camera had no motor drive so you had one chance to get it right. And you had to manually focus on runners coming towards you.
Today, you still need a lot of skill to capture such a moment, but there are a lot more demands to get more out of each one. We are shooting multiple remote cameras at the same time as we are using our camera in our hands to get as many views of that one moment as possible.
The opening ceremony for the Olympic Games is always a show of pageantry. This image from the Sydney Olympics is a nice artistic view of the scene inside the stadium. The clever use of colour and light draw you into the frame. The composition reminds me of a blooming flower.
This picture has a nice clean background so the celebration of Usain Bolt jumps out at you. You feel as if you are right there with him.
What I like about this picture is you have happiness and sadness all in the same frame. This was from the quarter-finals at London's Earl's Court in 2012.
In my opinion, emotion pictures tell more of a story than action pictures in sport photography.
This is the moment I remember from the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Gymnast, Kerri Strug completed a vault while injured to secure the gold medal.
This is one of my favourite all-time Olympic images by one of my favourite photographers, Doug Pensinger. Doug and I worked on many assignments together and I have always looked up to him and his work. He had a knack for getting the moment of the event better than anyone around him. He was a solid action photographer but he also had a very artistic eye and could make sport look like art.
Every time the opening ceremony is more elaborate and action-packed than the previous Olympics. Larger fireworks shows, fly-overs and choreographed dance routines all add to the ceremony's spectacle. It is always tough to find another vantage point from which to cover the opening ceremony.
What draws me to images like this one is that they are outside the stadium and so give you a sense of place. The dark clouds pictured here during the fly-over at the 2012 Games in London make the coloured smoke from the planes stand out even more.
Bob Beamon's long jump from 1968 maintained the Olympic and world record until the latter was broken in 1991 by Mike Powell.
This picture signals a change in the way people began to cover sporting events. Records and historic moments became more of a priority to capture. Peak action shots with telephoto lenses came into fashion because of this picture and many images like it from that time.
I like the heart shape of the water as the diver heads to the surface and this lends a beautiful graphic element to the picture.
This was taken with a remote camera placed in the pool set up several hours beforehand. Underwater camera shots are hard to get and at this year's Rio Olympics, Getty Images are using underwater rigs to capture more of this imagery which shows a fresh and unique perspective.
When covering doubles tennis it is important to have both players in the frame - otherwise it would look like singles.
Patience is the key but once both players magically come together you have to be ready to capture it as it doesn't happen often. This was a nice moment where Laura Robson and Andy Murray both went for the ball and were mirror images of each other.
The tax investigation it is facing in Luxembourg and the general worldwide crackdown on the movement of profits between different tax jurisdictions to minimise payments are likely to have been two.
A third is the fact that McDonald's already has a significant business in the UK.
But, taking a step back from the specific decision that is dissected by my colleague Simon Jack, there is also a broader trend starting to take shape.
The McDonald's announcement - which may not actually mean much in job terms - is part of a wider bet on the shape of the UK economy after the departure from the EU.
Yes, many businesses are concerned about the effect on the economy if any trade deal with the EU is replete with damaging tariffs.
And the City is braced for thousands of jobs to move to the continent as London loses at least some of its attractions as an entry point into the EU.
However, Google, Facebook, Apple, Boeing and Nissan have all now committed to the UK since the vote to leave the EU.
That suggests a belief the tax and investment approach of the UK government will be at least as "business friendly" as that available in the EU - and, quite possibly, more so.
Of course, the impact of businesses that have not invested here or have delayed decisions because of the vote is harder to define.
And economists from the Bank of England to the Office for Budget Responsibility predict a slowdown in growth next year because of uncertainties about the UK's relationship with the EU.
The Prime Minister has said she wants an economy that works for all, and that she wants to lead a relentlessly pro-business government.
That is not necessarily a contradiction.
But, low business taxes, flexible labour markets and borders open to immigration (all high on the list of many businesses' needs) are likely to be controversial for many voters.
Theresa May is treading a difficult path.
Many people would like to see more intervention by the state to "control" business and redistribute wealth.
The commitment of many global businesses to the UK is likely to be for very different reasons.
The 16-year-old was tipped to become a pro and in May fought his way to become the 58kg 2014 champion in the North West Amateur Boxing Association.
The teenager had trained with Gorton Amateur Boxing Club and his head coach Kevin Williams revealed he was "very entertaining and charismatic to watch".
He said: "Macauley was good enough and he had the style to be professional."
Kevin Williams told Newsbeat that he was a brilliant boxer who drew in the crowds but he was also "intelligent and he had a big heart".
Many professional boxers have been expressing their shock at hearing the news of the teenager's death.
WBO Inter-Continental lightweight champion Antony Crolla tweeted: "Woke up to some horrible news. Very sad to hear about Macauley Moran, God bless him #rip"
Pro boxer Frankie Gavin posted a picture with Macauley, tweeting: "Gutted to hear the sad news my lil mate @cauleybox has passed away. Rip mate x"
Macauley had suffered with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and his dad Mario Conway told Newsbeat he had been feeling depressed in the last couple of weeks.
The teenager started boxing at the age of 10 to help him deal with his ADHD.
Mario Conway said: "He used to get into trouble. He needed to think all the time. Boxing helped him."
Macauley hoped to turn pro at 18 and earlier this year he was in the top eight in the country for his age.
Mario revealed his son "could have been world class, he would have been world class".
In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and they had referred his case to the coroner.

Lee Roberts told Mold Crown Court Anthony Munkley shot Sion Davies after a row over £7,000 drugs money.
Mr Davies, 25, died after falling off a balcony at Mr Munkley's Caia Park estate flat in Wrexham last October.
Mr Roberts, 33, and Mr Munkley, 53, both deny murder. His wife, Gwenythe Munkley, 55, denies helping her husband evade arrest.
Mr Roberts said he was at Mr Munkley's flat because he believed cannabis was due to be delivered.
He told the court Mr Davies arrived and Mr Munkley said he would get the money and went to his bedroom.
But he returned with a crossbow and shot Mr Davies, he claimed.
Mr Roberts said he had nothing to do with the killing himself.
The prosecution say Mr Davies was stabbed and slashed with knives, shot with a crossbow, and was pushed or fell three storeys from the flat.
Mr Munkley has claimed Mr Roberts was not there and previously told the court the attack was carried out by a Geordie man he did not know. He has denied owing Mr Davies money.
Mr Roberts told the jury he used cannabis daily but was not a minder for Mr Munkley and was not involved in his cannabis business.
He said: "They [Mr Munkley and Mr Davies] were arguing about money, Munkley was going mad and was saying money he had given him to pay for drugs had gone missing."
Mr Roberts said he broke up fighting between them, but Mr Munkley then shot Mr Davies twice with a crossbow.
He said Mr Davies ran onto the balcony, jumped over the railings and began to slide down.
"I grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back up, but I couldn't," he said.
Mr Roberts said he had identified himself on mobile phone footage, previously shown to the jury, which showed him holding a knife in his hand at the scene.
He said he picked the knife up for his own protection and did not see Mr Davies injured with a knife or knives.
The trial continues.
The Streets Ahead scheme has seen more than 3,000 trees replaced since 2012.
Campaigners claim they were not properly consulted about it and successfully applied for a temporary injunction to stop felling, but this was later overturned.
The council said the scheme is to remove dead, diseased or dangerous trees from roadsides in the city.
The Labour-run authority said the programme, being carried out by contractor Amey, was essential if Sheffield's 36,000 street trees are to be managed for future generations.
David Dillner, who lives in the city, took legal action and claimed the council failed to assess the environmental impact of the felling.
Delivering his ruling, Mr Justice Gilbart said Mr Dillner's claim was "in truth devoid of merit".
He said his job had been to determine the legal merits of Mr Dillner's High Court action and added: "Nothing in this judgment is to be read as criticising the residents of Sheffield for seeking to protect the trees in their streets and roads whose presence many of them appreciate so much."
Mr Gilbart said the council was required to maintain roads and streets and it was "unfortunate in the extreme" that the objectors "failed to address both sides of the argument".
The judge said Mr Dillner must pay £5,000 of the legal costs run up by the council, as well as footing his own lawyers' bills.
Mr Dillner said he was "extremely disappointed with the court's decision".
"My legal team does not accept the strident criticism in the judgement and will be appealing the decision to the Court of Appeal before the end of this week," he said.
"I will be seeking the council's immediate assurance that it will not recommence felling until the Court of Appeal has considered whether to grant permission for my appeal to be heard."
Simon Green, of Sheffield City Council, said: "The decision demonstrates that we have been right to say we are following best practice guidance and working hard in the best interests of the city."
They began the day at an event for young entrepreneurs in Mumbai, then laid a wreath in New Delhi at the India Gate memorial to 70,000 Indian soldiers who died in World War One.
The royal couple then paid tribute to independence leader Mahatma Gandhi.
They also attended a party at the British High Commissioner's residence.
India royalist, 93, meets royal couple
In pictures: Day one of the royal tour
The party celebrated the birthday of the Queen, who turns 90 on 21 April.
Prince William described himself as the "Queen's representative" and said his grandmother was "still very much the boss", as he read out a message from her and Prince Philip.
"I have fond memories of our previous visits to India and this event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the enduring friendship between our two countries, our shared culture and the business opportunities we can create together," the message said.
"It is with great pleasure that I entrust another generation of my family to strengthen and renew our bonds."
Having delivered the message, he said he could "report back to granny that I have done my duty".
The duke also paid tribute to his grandmother, describing her as "remarkably energetic" and a "dedicated guiding force for her family".
"I am so glad that children have the chance to get to know the Queen," he added.
"George and Charlotte too will discover how lucky they are to have such a wonderful great-grandmother, a role model for the rest of their lives."
By Peter Hunt, BBC royal correspondent
One Mumbai newspaper headline has declared "Royal couple charms crowds".
Images of a future king and queen demonstrating their sporting, competitive edge have proved irresistible to many British newspapers and broadcasters.
But such coverage doesn't mean that royal fever has descended on India.
Security concerns in the modern world mean that presidents and princes travel in a bubble, and only meet those who are invited and checked out in advance.

Why the Indian soldiers of WW1 were forgotten
At the Gandhi museum in Old Birla House, the duke and duchess paid their respects at the memorial marking the location where the statesman was assassinated in 1948.
On Tuesday the couple, who are visiting India for the first time, will meet the country's Prime Minister Narendra Modi before travelling to Kaziranga National Park in Assam to learn about the conservation work being done there.
On Sunday night, Prince William spoke of his admiration for India, during a speech at a charity gala in Mumbai attended by Bollywood film stars.
He praised "an India whose traditions, culture and civilisation go back thousands of years, and yet co-exist with an India that is young, creative, entrepreneurial".
Earlier, at the same venue - the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel - the couple spoke to survivors of the 2008 terror attacks in the city.
The seven-day tour will also see them travel to the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
Chantelle Fitzgerald, 18, of Canvey Island in Essex, lost her mother in August and thought the state would cover the cost.
However, the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) said it would not pay and the funeral directors have issued their bill to her.
A family friend called it "disgusting" and has launched a fundraising appeal.
Vicki Fitzgerald died aged 47 from a liver disease, while the children's father died when they were a lot younger.
For more on this and other stories, visit the BBC Essex Live page
When Mrs Fitzgerald died, Chantelle applied to become her brother Shane's legal guardian to prevent him being taken into care and, with his help - and that of her boyfriend's mother Michelle Gray - organised the funeral.
Chantelle signed the forms with the funeral director.
"I think mum hid it [her illness] from us in many ways," she said. "If I had known, I would have prepared everything a lot better.
"I've an older brother and they [DWP] said it was down to him to pay as next-of-kin, but I hadn't seen him in years and we don't have contact, although he did come to the funeral."
Ms Gray, 47, who also lives on Canvey, said "it's disgusting".
"I blame the government department - Chantelle's been left to sort out a funeral and now they're both frightened of getting into trouble with the courts and they're only kids."
A spokesman for the funeral directors E Sargeant & Son said: "They agreed to this fee and it is our normal business practice to follow this up if payment is not forthcoming.
"We are in ongoing dialogue with the family and have invited them to discuss the matter further."
A DWP spokesman said: "Funeral payments provide a safety net for those in need during a difficult time and last year we supported over 32,000 claims.
"If a claim is unsuccessful, claimants can request a mandatory reconsideration and then a right of appeal."
The family and Michelle Gray said they had already been through the appeal process and it had failed.
Adrian Gard was charged in February of making a false statement to police after the listening device was found during a check of the hotel room.
A court in Sydney dismissed the charge on Friday.
Gard was found guilty of another charge of operating without a proper licence.
He will be sentenced for that charge in September.
All Blacks captain Kieran Read told the court that Gard, who had worked for the team for a long time, was a "pretty good man" and had been "pretty honest and loyal in what he does".
Read's side begin their Rugby Championship defence against Australia on Saturday - the first of three games in the annual Bledisloe Cup.

Lewis-Francis, 33, who won Olympic gold as part of the 4x100m relay team at the 2004 Athens Games, missed Beijing 2008 and London 2012 through injury.
The GB Bobsleigh team finished fifth at both the 2014 Sochi Games and at last season's World Championships.
"I can be a great track athlete and a great bobsleigher," he told BBC Sport.
"My problem has always been my start and hopefully bobsleigh can help me improve that because I'd love to make the Rio 2016 team."
Lewis-Francis insists though that bobsleigh will be his major focus as he is determined to add to his Olympic medal collection.
"Some of my greatest moments have come in team events, like the 4x100m relay [in Athens], so bobsleigh plays to my strengths," he said.
The 2010 Commonwealth relay gold medallist has also been impressed by the talent he has seen in the British team.
"I watched the last Winter Olympics on the TV and was very intrigued, but I've found it's not as easy as it looks and I have so much respect for the guys here," he said.
"They [GB] already have a good team and I'm a big lad, I'm strong, I still have a little bit of fast-twitch fibre left too so perhaps with a bit of MLF speed in there we can finish a bit better than fifth."
Lewis-Francis' former GB team-mates Simeon Williamson and Joel Fearon are already part of the British bobsleigh setup, whilst fellow 2004 Olympic gold medallist Jason Gardener competed in the 2008 GB Bobsleigh championships.

Other ex-sprinters who have previously made the switch include Marcus Adam, Allyn Condon, former world champion GB bobsleigher Nicola Minichiello and Beijing Olympian Craig Pickering.
"I was quite surprised when I came here and saw a lot of people that I used to line up against and race," he said.
"There's a lot of young sprinters here as well so you can see the making of the switch from athletics to bobsleigh and I think it's good for the sport."
USA sprinter Lauryn Williams won Olympic relay gold at London 2012, before partnering Elena Meyers-Taylor to a second-place finish at the Sochi Winter Olympics last year.
GB Bobsleigh performance director Gary Anderson hopes Lewis-Francis can make a similar difference for the British team.
"To win an Olympic medal in 2018 we need to have one of the quickest start times in the world, we were near that in Sochi but just need that little bit more," he told BBC Sport."
On Lewis-Francis, Anderson said: "He is an Olympic champion and has taken to the bobsleigh training really well - it's an exciting time for the team."
The Commonwealth 100m silver medallist's eldest child, Romeo, was less than a year old when the men's 4x100m relay team secured victory over the USA in Athens.
"Most of my kids are too young to remember 2004," he reflected, and added that a medal "would be amazing and a dream come true.
"To have another moment where they can actually watch it and see their daddy actually doing something amazing - that would be great for me."
Lewis-Francis has made impressive progress since joining the team for pre-season training in Bath in August and has been selected for the team push start trials in Switzerland later in September.
He is expected to make his debut on ice next month with the bobsleigh American Cup series a possible target in late October.
Since July 2015, at least four journalists have been arrested, two others left the state and many more continue to face harassment daily.
"The large number of journalists who have quit their profession in the past six months is probably unprecedented and that shows how grave the fear is," said Kamal Shukla, president of Patrakaar Suraksha Kanoon Sanyukt Sangarsh Samiti, a group fighting to bring a law to protect journalists in the state.
The Chhattisgarh government on 20 May announced the formation of a high-level committee, consisting of journalists and civil servants, to investigate the arrests.
Even though this move seems like a successful culmination of their protest, journalists say they will wait to see the working of this committee before rejoicing.
The mineral-rich state of Chhattisgarh has witnessed an armed conflict for more than three decades. While the government encourages mineral extraction industries in the area, an armed left-wing rebel guerrilla group, called the Maoists, opposes it.
The rebels say they are fighting for the rights of indigenous tribespeople and the rural poor who, they say, have been neglected by governments for decades.
The southern Bastar region of the state is the epicentre of the violence. The conflict intensified after the state government signed agreements in mid-2015 to set up mega steel plants in the region.
Activists say that to implement these agreements, the government had to weaken the rebels. Pledging to "eradicate Maoists from the region" by the end of 2016, the police launched an all-out attack against everyone they felt were Maoist sympathisers.
"Under the garb of attacking those supportive of the Maoist cause, the state began to indiscriminately target innocent tribal groups, so they could be coaxed into leaving their lands and migrate," said Bastar-based Aam Aadmi Party leader and human rights activist Soni Sori.
"In order for the state to win its bloody war against the tribal groups, any witnesses to their exploitation needed to be removed," she added.
Journalists in Chhattisgarh are often the only credible source of information from far-flung areas.
The northern and southern parts of the state have many remote villages, which are often unconnected by roads. In these forest-covered villages, people speak tribal languages, making local journalists, who work as freelancers for national newspapers, significant news gatherers.
When tribal journalist Somaru Nag was arrested and charged with "anti-state activities" in July 2015, it largely went unnoticed. His family was informed about the arrest after three days.
But activists started seeing a pattern after more journalists were subsequently arrested. Santosh Yadav, a freelancer for a Hindi newspaper, was arrested last September on more severe charges than Mr Nag.
"There was a lot of pressure on him to become a police informer and report on Maoist movements in his area," said Isha Khandelwal, Mr Yadav's lawyer.
"He had made the administration uncomfortable by reporting on state excesses," she told the BBC.
However, Amit Kataria, the district collector of Bastar, insisted that Mr Yadav was a Maoist.
Mr Yadav's arrest was enough to make other journalists anxious.
On 10 October, about 300 journalists from all over the state protested in the capital city of Raipur. They sought the release of their arrested colleagues and demanded a legislation to protect journalists. The government did not respond.
The protest was repeated in December in Bastar's largest commercial city, Jagdalpur. The state gave meek assurances, but nothing significant was announced.
In January, a group of men belonging to a civil vigilante group began harassing Malini Subramanium, a contributor for news website Scroll.in. She was later forced to leave Bastar.
BBC Hindi's Alok Putul got into trouble for his reports over the threats to Ms Subramanium.
He was also investigating an alleged extrajudicial killing in Darbha Valley in Bastar when he was forewarned of a threat. A month later, Mr Putul was forced to move to Raipur to ensure his safety.
In March, within a span of a week, two journalists - Prabhat Singh and Deepak Jaiswal - were arrested on different charges.
The four arrested journalists continue to be in jail.
In a report released in late March, the Editors' Guild of India said they could not find "a single journalist who could claim with confidence that he/she was working without fear or pressure".
"The state government wants the media to see its fight with the Maoists as a fight for the nation and expects the media to treat it as a national security issue, and not raise any questions about it," the guild said in its report.
The fall of journalism in Bastar
In a press conference in Raipur in February, the Inspector General of Police of Bastar region, SRP Kalluri, said he expected journalists to aid his fight against the Maoists.
"We don't care about the national media. You have a different way of looking at things. We work with the media in Bastar, that sits with us, eats with us, and comes in helicopters with us," he said.
With several Hindi newspapers in circulation in Bastar, there is no dearth of information. However, what kind of information reaches the ordinary man in the region needs inspection.
With hotels in Jagdalpur denying rooms to journalists and their phones being tapped indiscriminately, gathering news has become a challenge.
"Those who live in Bastar cannot report fearlessly," said Bappi Rai, president of South Bastar Reporters' Association.
"Now, it is getting tougher for those from Delhi and other places to come to tell our stories," he added.
Care is preferred to Ben Youngs, while Marler gets in ahead of Mako Vunipola.
Back rower Jack Clifford, prop Paul Hill and centre Ollie Devoto are set to make their international debuts off the bench at Murrayfield.
Lock Courtney Lawes is included among the replacements after passing a fitness test on his hamstring injury.
"There were some tight calls on selection, but we have picked a match-day squad with a blend of experience and youth," said England head coach Eddie Jones, who succeeded Stuart Lancaster.
England: Mike Brown; Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Owen Farrell, Jack Nowell; George Ford, Danny Care; Joe Marler, Dylan Hartley (captain), Dan Cole, Joe Launchbury, George Kruis, Chris Robshaw, James Haskell, Billy Vunipola.
Replacements: Jamie George, Mako Vunipola, Paul Hill, Courtney Lawes, Jack Clifford, Ben Youngs, Alex Goode, Ollie Devoto.
Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley skippers an England side attempting to retain the Calcutta Cup, which they have held since 2009.
Owen Farrell, Billy Vunipola and Mike Brown have been appointed vice-captains. The starting XV boasts 512 caps, but no debutants.
Former captain Chris Robshaw is moved across the back row to blind-side flanker, with James Haskell taking over at open-side.
George Ford plays at fly-half with Farrell at inside centre in their second Test start together.
"The boys have worked hard since coming into camp to understand how I want the team to play going forward," added Australian Jones.
"We are confident we can go to Edinburgh and win, but we're in no doubt it will be a huge challenge.
"Playing at Murrayfield in front of a passionate Scottish crowd will be a real test for this team but one I know we can rise to."
BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce:
New head coach Eddie Jones has gone for experience over promise after selecting a battle-hardened England XV to open their Six Nations campaign against Scotland.
It means nine of the men who started England's last match - the meaningless World Cup win over Uruguay - will get the chance to kick-start the new regime.
When Stuart Lancaster's own spell began with the same fixture four years ago, his first XV featured three new caps and only six survivors of a team that had lost to France in the quarter-finals of the preceding World Cup.
Yet Jones has been far more conservative with Scotland chasing a first win over England in eight years.
It is five years now since England last won the Six Nations Championship and 13 since their last Grand Slam, but they have won on their past two visits to Murrayfield, keeping Scotland scoreless two winters ago.
However, with their hosts coming off a more successful World Cup - only a controversial late penalty decision denying them a place in the semi-finals - Saturday afternoon is likely to prove a testing baptism.
Speaking to reporters following Thursday's team announcement, Jones looked to be handling the scrutiny in his stride.
"If Eddie Jones feels under any pressure ahead of his first match in charge of England, he's not showing it so far," said Fordyce.
"He was all relaxation and smiles, combative when pushed on the lack of new faces but clearly excited.
"He admits to nerves but only positive ones: 'I don't sit there biting my nails or scratching my head.'
"With his years of international coaching experience, the former Australia and Japan coach has seen bigger occasions than this - and, in a frenetic Six Nations build-up, his calmness is so far shining through."

The Northampton woman, who was the only female rider at the meeting, crashed at a chicane near the start/finish area.
"I'm totally gutted to tell you that due to a little broken bone from my off on Thursday, I won't be competing in the NW 200," Costello said on Facebook.
The 40-year-old was competing at the event for a 10th year.
Costello also missed Thursday night's opening races because of her injury.
She walked away from the incident and the practice session was resumed after a short delay to clear the track.
They said their process is fast, clean and cheap. It can store energy from the sun and wind.
Writing in the journal Science, the Glasgow researchers said their process is thirty times faster than the current method.
Without using any more energy, it is claimed to store the hydrogen in a carbon-free liquid.
Prof Lee Cronin, of the university's School of Chemistry. said: "The process uses a liquid that allows the hydrogen to be locked up in a liquid-based inorganic fuel.
"By using a liquid sponge known as a redox mediator that can soak up electrons and acid we've been able to create a system where hydrogen can be produced in a separate chamber without any additional energy input after the electrolysis of water takes place.
"The link between the rate of water oxidation and hydrogen production has been overcome, allowing hydrogen to be released from the water 30 times faster than the leading PEME process on a per-milligram-of-catalyst basis."
These were just some of the strands to the colourful and exuberant opening ceremony at Celtic Park for the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Was Glasgow kissed by Caledonian Cool or did it deliver Tartan cringe amidst a haze of Scotch myth?
Here's what others thought...
Australia
Writing in The Australian, Wayne Smith said: "Name a Scottish icon, it got an airing, be it Nessie, the Loch Ness monster, Susan Boyle, tossed cabers or Rod Stewart, pumping out his signature "The Rhythm of My Heart".
Not that the Scots were showing their dour side, not on this night, even parodying their own weather in a cute takeoff of Men at Work's "Land Down Under".
India
The Times of India online edition said: "Scotland rolled out a spectacular opening ceremony on Wednesday with dazzling and colourful display of their unique culture and heritage on a breathtaking night, which also had some Indian flavour to set the stage for the 20th Commonwealth Games."
Canada
Writing in the Toronto Star, Rob Harris said: "The Loch Ness Monster, tartan-clad bagpipers and giant pieces of shortbread took the place of footballers on the Celtic Park pitch as the Commonwealth Games began with a celebration of Scottish mythology and traditions on Wednesday.
"Scotland is hosting the 20th edition of the games for former British colonies as its own future as part of Britain could be coming to an end.
"With an independence referendum coming on September 18, the issue of Scotland's national identity is in sharp focus, and organizers made light of perceptions of the country with a self-deprecating start to the ceremony attended by Queen Elizabeth II."
New Zealand
Writing in The New Zealand Herald, APNZ senior reporter Rebecca Quilliam said: "The 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has opened today in Scottish style.
"Bagpipers, dancers and kilt-clad singers welcomed a packed stadium and millions of television viewers to Scotland...
"Hundreds of performers packed the stadium in a colourful display depicting Scottish life and the country's history."
United Kingdom
Writing in The Telegraph, Jim White said: "On a beautiful, balmy evening, in weather apparently borrowed wholesale from the World Cup host Brazil for the occasion, Glasgow produced a vibrant, joyous opening to the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
"Taking the lead from Danny Boyle's magnificent ceremonial launch of the London Olympics this was an event rich in humour, jollity and self-deprecation.
"Plus the magnificent Londoner Rod Stewart, warbling gleefully in the football stadium he cites as his spiritual home."
The Guardian's Lyn Gardner took a different view: "London 2012 got Danny Boyle; Glasgow 2014 got a clearly nervous Susan Boyle singing Mull of Kintyre and forgetting the words, and John Barrowman in an eye-watering haze of purple tartan.
"Those hoping against hope that Sean Connery and the Queen would parachute into Celtic Park in a cheeky Scottish nod to the James Bond sequence of the London Olympics Opening Ceremony were always going to be disappointed.
"The budget was never going to run to that kind of grandstanding, but there were times during David Zolkwer's oddly lacklustre and unfocused production when you wondered whether someone - maybe all those people who should have been sitting in the glaringly empty seats in the stands - had scarpered down the pub with the entire budget.
"Or maybe they were just hiding under the seats in mild embarrassment that this was how this great, gritty, glorious city was being portrayed to the rest of the world."
The Independent's Jonathan Brown said the opening ceremony gave an "exhilarating start" to the Games.
He said: "From the moment the giant kilt lifted to reveal pantomime star John Barrowman, it was clear that the wit as well as the famous wisdom of the Scots was being showcased. So too the irrepressible spirit of the people of Glasgow.
"Where else would the disfigurement of a national symbol (albeit an Anglo-Irishman) - the traffic cone which has repeatedly and drunkenly been used to adorn the head of the Duke of Wellington in Royal Exchange Square for the past 30 years - be celebrated as part of a national story before a billion-strong television audience?"
Referring to the ongoing Scottish referendum campaign, The Daily Mail's Robert Hardman said: "After the fractious introspection and months of angry debate about what it means to be Scottish, the people of Scotland enjoyed a well-deserved break from it all last night - as they welcomed the world.
"And by the end of an exuberant, good-humoured, periodically chaotic evening - starring everyone (and everything) from a giant haggis, cabers, golf clubs, a gay wedding, 41 Scottish terriers, Rod Stewart, rousing cheers for the Queen and lashings of self-deprecation - Scotland seemed to have answered her own question.
"All of the above, we can safely say, encompass what it means to be Scottish. Quite what last night's opening of the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow means for that referendum campaign, on the other hand, is anyone's guess."
They've won more than 100 big awards over the last 20 years for their shows and their presenting.
But what's the story of their success?
It all began when Ant and Dec met on the set of CBBC show, Byker Grove, when they were just 13 years old.
Their characters, PJ and Duncan, were mates in the show and Ant and Dec soon became friends in real life.
From acting to singing - in 1993 the series led to the guys signing a record contract and over the course of four years they had 14 top 20 hits.
And from singing to presenting - in 1996 they got a taste of Bafta glory when the Ant and Dec Show, which used to be on the BBC, won an award.
In 1998 they launched SM:TV Live and CD:UK, mixing music, comedy and cartoons. The show was co-hosted with Cat Deeley - a British presenter who now hosts So You Think You Can Dance in America.
The pair have hosted lots of other programmes and game shows over the years and among the many awards they've won, they've picked up 14 at the National Television Awards in the category of most popular entertainment presenter. They won it for the first time in 2001 and have kept winning every year since!
Among the well-known shows they present are I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, which they've hosted since it started in 2002, and Britain's Got Talent, which launched in 2007.
The miner, which will be erected on a plinth in the heart of Laxey, is currently being constructed in Bali by an artist called Ongky Wijana.
The Great Laxey Mine employed more than 600 miners between 1825 and 1929.
Co-ordinator Ivor Hankinson said: "The miners were so brave, and this statue will mean they are remembered forever."
He added: "In addition we will have a plaque on the wall showing the names of 32 people who died in the mine. I think that is important because they did so much for the Isle of Man and worked so hard at a very difficult job."
Once erected on its plinth, the stone miner statue will stand at about 13ft high.
It will replace a wooden carving of a miner which was removed in 2008 after it disintegrated with age.
Funding for the statue was provided by a benefactor, a Laxey resident who left money for the project in her will.
"This lady died in 2012 at the age of 97, but she would have been so pleased that one of her final wishes is coming to fruition," said Mr Hankinson.
"She was saddened when the wooden miner had to be taken down so this would have meant a lot to her - as it will for everybody in the village."
Stone Carver Ongky Wijana said: "I was honoured to be asked to do the Laxey piece. It's a big public piece of work so I'm very proud that people from all over will be able to see it and it will represent Laxey, which is such a beautiful town."
The Laxey mines were among the riches sources of zinc, lead and silver anywhere in the British Isles in the latter half of the 19th Century.
Declan Aaron McCallion, from Elaghmore Park in the Galliagh area of Londonderry, is the husband of Sinn Mayor Elisha McCallion.
He has been charged with physically assaulting a man.
He is also charged with assaulting the man's wife by placing her in fear of immediate violence.
He was released on bail and ordered not to be intoxicated in public.
Mr McCallion has been further charged with disorderly behaviour and with resisting a police officer in the due execution of his duty.
The four offences are alleged to have happened before midnight on 19 May at Academy Road.
A police officer told district judge Barney McElholm that he could connect the defendant to each of the four charges.
A defence solicitor said he had no questions for the officer and added that the case should not trouble the court.
The solicitor applied for the case to be adjourned until 17 June to allow him to receive information on other matters.
His application was granted by the district judge.
As part of his bail conditions Mr McCallion must submit to a preliminary breath test if he is ever asked to do so by the police.
The judge also ordered the defendant not to have any direct or indirect contact with the injured parties or with any prosecution witnesses in the case.
The Washington Hotel on East Parade, Llandudno, was most recently a nightclub until it closed in 2012.
Dylan's restaurant chain, which has two other premises in north Wales, hopes to reopen it in 2017 after renovation work, creating 40 jobs.
The building first opened in 1885 but was rebuilt in 1925 after being destroyed in a fire.
Research by the charity showed the numbers getting help had fallen from just over one million three years ago to 850,000 last year.
Age UK said the cuts were one of the major causes behind the growing pressures on A&E units.
But councils said they had been left with little choice because they were "chronically underfunded".
The overall cut in numbers getting help from councils represents a drop of one-fifth.
But the research - based on an analysis of official figures - also provided a detailed breakdown of which individual services had been cut.
It found between 2010-11 and 2013-14:
Age UK director Caroline Abrahams said: "Our state-funded social care system is in calamitous, quite rapid decline.
"The more preventive services like meals on wheels and day care are being especially hard hit, leaving the system increasingly the preserve of older people in the most acute need, storing up big problems for the future.
"Hundreds of thousands of older people who need social care are being left high and dry. The lucky ones have sufficient funds to buy in some support, or can rely on the goodwill of family, neighbours and friends. But there are many who are being left to struggle on entirely alone."
Previous research by the charity has shown there are nearly 900,000 people who do not get any help for their care needs.
"Until recently the impact of the decline in social care has been relatively hidden, but social care is a crucial pressure valve for the NHS and the evidence of what happens when it is too weak to fulfil that function is clear for us all to see," Ms Abrahams added.
Over the past three months waiting times in A&E units have reached their worst level for a decade with hospitals reporting they are experiencing particular problems trying to discharge old and frail patients because of the lack of support available in the community.
Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said the system was "chronically underfunded".
"Councils have protected our most vulnerable people as far as possible, often at the expense of other services, and we will continue to prioritise those most in need.
"However, the combined pressures of insufficient funding, growing demand, escalating costs and a 40% cut to local government budgets across this parliament mean that despite councils' best efforts they are having to make tough decisions about the care services they can provide."
But a Department of Health spokeswoman said the April launch of the Better Care Fund - a £5.3bn pot predominantly funded from the NHS to encourage greater integration between health and care - would help.
"We know we need to work differently to respond to our growing ageing population."
She added the fund would "focus resources on helping people to live independently, which will save money and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions". | A judge's decision to grant bail for the wife of a man who killed 49 people at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, pending her trial, has sparked outrage.

Colwyn Baker, David Hennessy and Nigel Putman are accused of 49 counts of abuse against 24 boys at the now-defunct Swaylands School in Kent.
Maidstone Crown Court heard children abused at the school "were positively encouraged to abuse other pupils".
The men have denied carrying out sex assaults.
They are accused of preying on children from 1963 to 1993 while they were residential child care officers at the school in Penshurst.
Prosecutor Philip Bennetts QC said: "Abuse and the age of pupils abused led some pupils to consider that there was nothing wrong with abusing other pupils."
Swaylands School, which catered for boys with emotional and behavioural difficulties, closed in 1993.
Mr Bennetts said one boy was so scared of Mr Baker he often stayed awake or slept in stairwells, and another boy was abused by him almost nightly for three years.
He said one boy told investigators he resisted Mr Baker for a long time but eventually caved in after the defendant made sure no-one spoke to him.
Another alleged victim said he was abused on his first or second night by Mr Hennessy who told him: "It's not worth crying, it won't help you."
Mr Baker, 71, of Craighouse Avenue, Morningside, Edinburgh, faces 24 indecent assault and three serious sexual assault charges.
Mr Hennessy, 74, of Westfields, Narborough, King's Lynn, Norfolk, is accused of 17 indecent assault charges, one of gross indecency with a child, and one serious sexual assault.
Mr Putman, 62, of Kings Road, Slough, Berkshire, is accused of three indecent assaults.
The jury was told Mr Baker was convicted in 1994 of four counts of indecent assault on a boy and one of gross indecency.
Mr Bennetts also disclosed Mr Hennessy was convicted in 1993 of four counts of indecent assault on a boy and two sex offences against a pupil.
The trial was adjourned.

The Carbon Trust has warned that when trees are left to decompose, they produce gas which is bad for the environment.
Instead, some trees are recycled by being turned into wood chippings or compost.
Martin's been to a waste centre in Greater Manchester, to see how it's done.
Jill Archer said officers took away gold bracelets, chains and earrings for forensic tests in November 2013 when she suspected stock was being stolen.
She has complained to the Independent Police Complaints Commission and will meet Kent Police on Friday.
The force said it had taken responsibility for the loss.
Kent Police said a financial claim for the loss from its Sittingbourne station store was being dealt with by its insurers and compensation would be paid after Ms Archer provided documentation confirming the value of items lost.
But she claims her Sittingbourne shop has since had to close due to the lack of stock, and claimed her losses had reached £125,000.
She also said although she was insured, her insurers would only pay out £10,000 because the jewellery had been taken out of the shop.
She continues to runs her business from her other shop in Ashford.
In 2013, Ms Archer requested police fingerprint the jewellery after she noticed items were missing from the shop's safe and suspected a member of staff.
Officers took 70 packets of jewellery to the secure unit at Sittingbourne police station on 23 November of that year.
However, according to the force's investigative report, they were not booked in until three days later.
When Ms Archer asked for the items back a few weeks later she was told they were being retained as evidence.
She was "totally shocked" when police told her on 28 January 2014 that they could not find the items, and since then had felt "fobbed off" in subsequent dealings with the force.
In a statement, Kent Police said no other items had gone missing from the property store in the same time period.
It added that it had undertaken "a thorough review of the security measures" in its property stores across the county.
Kent Police said there had been no prosecutions in connection with the case.

One goal was enough, a superb second half strike from Kris Doolan.
The Tannadice club were made to regret missing a glut of first half chances.
Thistle had luck on their side, but an improved second half showing brought them three vital points and to within touching distance of the top six.
The result leaves Mixu Paatelainen's men bottom, five points behind Kilmarnock with just six games left.
It was the Tayside club who responded to a vociferous travelling support of 1,909 in a crowd of 4,533.
Ryan Dow had a shot held by Tomas Cerny, and then a great free kick from Paul Paton curled into a dangerous area but could not be cashed in by the United players in the six yard box.
Dow had about four chances in the opening spell, the best of which was a four on three break in which Guy Demel played him in, but he shot over.
Billy McKay was next to nearly take advantage of some comic cuts Thistle defending with a lob just over the bar, swiftly followed John Rankin having a go but being denied by a fabolous save from Cerny.
Rankin went close again with a sizzling 25 yarder just past the post.
At this stage it was King Canute versus the tide.
Against all this, just before half-time Partick should have had a penalty when Gavin Gunning clearly had a grip of Doolan, but referee Andrew Dallas waved play on.
It would have been astonishing had Thistle gone in ahead. It was a miracle that the half finished 0-0.
The injury gods continued to conspire against Thistle right at the start of the second half. Frederic Frans went down with no-one near him and limped off to be replaced by Mustapha Dumbuya, with the home side having already lost Gary Fraser in the first half.
But that tide was turning. There was one fabulous move which ended with Callum Booth volleying just over the bar and there was a new pace and appetite about the home side.
One way or another a goal had to come. And so it did. For Thistle.
Doolan scored his ninth of the season with a magnificent drive from the edge of the box after a sweet build up.
It was joy for Thistle and happiness for Kilmarnock who desperately need United not to close in on their tail.
Researchers analysed genetic data from skeletons dating to the Bronze Age, a period marked by the emergence of writing, complex urban planning and magnificent art and architecture.
These ancient Aegean people were mostly descended from farmers who had settled the region thousands of years earlier.
But they showed signs of genetic - and possibly cultural - contact with people to the north and to the east.
Dr Iosif Lazaridis, from Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts, and colleagues focussed on burials from the Minoan civilization, which flourished on the island of Crete from 2,600 to 1,100 BC, and the Mycenaean culture, which was existed across Greece from 1,600 -1,100 BC.
"They're important because they are the first known civilizations in Europe that had writing and a level of complexity that was not present in earlier cultures... It's always been a puzzle: where did these people come from and how did they create this amazing culture," Dr Lazaridis told BBC News.
"With ancient DNA we can now begin to answer this question."
Dr Lazaridis explained that most of the people who created these civilizations appear to be local - deriving between 62% and 86% of their ancestry from people who introduced agriculture to Europe from Anatolia (modern Turkey) in Neolithic times, starting from about 7,000 years ago.
But the Bronze Age Mycenaean and Minoan skeletons revealed ancestry from populations originating in either the Caucasus mountains or Iran. Between 9% and 17% of their genetic make-up came from this source.
In addition, the team's paper in Nature journal reports, the Mycenaeans - but not the Minoans - show evidence of genetic input from people who lived further north, on the flat grasslands that stretch from eastern Europe to Central Asia. Between 4% and 16% of their ancestry came from this northern source.
This fits with previous evidence from ancient DNA studies, showing that there was a major migration into Europe from this region during the Bronze Age. These nomadic livestock herders from the Steppe had a major impact on the gene pools of Northern and Central Europe. But the influence of Steppe migrants on populations from southern Europe - including Greece - was much more modest.
The researchers don't know exactly when the northern and eastern influxes of people occurred, but both genetic components are missing from the stone age farmers who inhabited Greece during the Neolithic. This suggests that these later waves of migration arrived in either the third or fourth millennium BC - a time gap for which the researchers lack ancient DNA data.
Dr Lazaridis says that both waves of migration might have acted as "cultural disruptors".
"The migrants could be the bearers of innovation... a vehicle through which some new elements of culture arrived in Greece," he explained.
By contrast, the researchers found no evidence for proposed migrations to Greece from ancient Egypt or from the areas of the eastern Mediterranean occupied by the Phoenician sea-faring culture.
The work could also provide clues to the origin of Greek language. Like the majority of languages spoken in Europe today, Greek belongs to a family known as Indo-European. The members of this language family share common features of vocabulary and grammar.
But how and when Indo-European speech spread across Europe remains a subject of debate. Some scholars believe the languages were introduced by the first farmers migrating from the Near East.
Other researchers believe they were spread later, during the Bronze Age, by the herders who migrated west from the Steppe.
But the much more minor influx of Steppe people into Greece compared with northern Europe has led some to conclude that this migration could not have effected a change in language. This might imply that progenitors of Greek - and perhaps other Indo-European languages - were already established in the Aegean by the time the Steppe people arrived.
While the Mycenaeans are known to have spoken an early form of Greek, the earliest recorded language spoken by the Minoan people on Crete - known as Linear A - can be read but not translated. This implies that it belonged either to a distinct branch of Indo-European or to an entirely different language family.
Sarah Poole, of Westenhanger Castle in Hythe, said her business had lost £30,000 from wedding and meeting cancellations due to Operation Stack.
"Our business cannot survive if this carries on," she told BBC South East debate Gridlock Kent.
Her comments came as 600 migrants got through the Eurotunnel fence overnight.
A total of 400 were pushed back through the barrier by security teams, 180 were removed from the secure area and 20 were detained, according to BBC reporter Amanda Kirton in Calais.
The ongoing situation in the French port involving migrants and striking ferry workers has led to Operation Stack being implemented on 26 days this summer.
Ms Poole's wedding and conference venue is just off the M20, where lorries unable to cross the English Channel are parked or "stacked".
"I urge the Prime Minister to come down to see our small businesses because it is us that is being affected," she said.
"We are bringing the economy out of recession, but you are putting us straight back in it.
"It's down to the French to sort out their own problems and us English to sort out the English side."
B&B owner Mark Walker said holidaymakers were no longer visiting Kent from the continent.
"They hear it is no longer the Garden of England - they hear it is the lorry park of England," he said.
No senior member of the government was available to attend Monday's debate.
But Craig Mackinlay, Conservative MP for Thanet South, said the impact of ferry worker strikes in Calais and migrants trying to enter the UK via the Channel Tunnel had been "unprecedented - complete chaos and disaster".
He said he had been in regular discussions with transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin.
"I can assure you the government is trying to get to grips with this," he said.
"The ultimate solution is what is happening on the French side.
"We have got two of the most advanced nations on the planet - Britain and France. Are you telling me, seriously, that we can't defend a port?"
He said the British government would be spending money to make the Eurotunnel entrance in Calais more secure by Friday.
Kent County Council leader Paul Carter said Operation Stack was necessary and was likely to be implemented again.
He said logistics experts from the Ministry of Defence had been looking at three alternative sites to park lorries over the past three days "at David Cameron's insistence".
Sites put forward are at the disused Manston airport, Westhanger and Ebbsfleet.
"It is for national government to fund the solution and it has got to be a top priority to keep the Queen's highway open in Kent at all times," he said.
David Cameron admitted on Friday that more work needed to be done to tackle the migrant crisis in Calais.
"We rule nothing out in taking action to deal with this very serious problem," he said.
"We are absolutely in it. We know it needs more work."
The band headlined a show at Cornwall's Eden Project, opening with Paper Gods, the title track of their latest album.
They followed it up with a brace of 80s hits - Wild Boys, Hungry Like The Wolf and A View To A Kill.
Will Young, Laura Mvula and Shaun The Sheep have also taken part in the UK-wide celebration of music.
Choristers Only Men Aloud launched events at 06:50, singing with Amy Wadge - who was singing on a platform atop of the Severn Bridge.
The singer, who won a Grammy for co-writing Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud, penned a song specially for BBC Music Day. Called The Bridge, it also marks the 50th anniversary of the Severn Bridge bridge being built.
Nile Rodgers, who co-founded Chic and has worked with Prince and David Bowie, is an ambassador for BBC Music Day, and said music had the power to change lives.
"I've had some really rough years as of late," said the star, who is currently in remission from cancer, "but the music keeps us going".
"When I have my worst times, I just pick up my guitar and I start practicing in my room. And people wonder, 'well, do those songs become hits?'.
"And I go, 'I don't care, I just do it because it makes me feel good'. I love to play."
Almost 400 events took place across the UK on Friday, including a children's "vegetable orchestra", led by Shaun The Sheep at Bristol's Colston Hall.
Rock band Travis played a unique, one-off show with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Glasgow's Barrowlands.
Birmingham's New Street Station saw a flashmob by singer Ruby Turner and the Town Hall Gospel Choir, who opened their set with gospel classic This Train (Is Bound For Glory).
Meanwhile, the Ulster Orchestra performed in the grounds of the Stormont Parliament Buildings in Belfast.
Their programme included the theme to TV show Game Of Thrones, much of which is filmed in Northern Ireland.
A UK-wide bell-ringing event took place at 19:00 BST, with more than 180 church towers ringing simultaneously, including Bristol and Manchester cathedral and smaller parish churches such as Saint Francis Xavier's in Liverpool and St Mary's in Turville, Buckinghamshire.
BBC Radio 2 honoured five "unsung heroes" of music, including Dr Jane Bentley, who runs music groups for people with mental health difficulties, alzheimers and dementia.
And children's choirs from around the UK joined forces together to perform a specially-written song for BBC Music Day.
Our Song was composed by Sasha Johnson Manning using words provided by listeners to CBeebies radio.
At lunchtime, pop star Will Young serenaded workers at Bristol's Pukka Herbs tea factory, marking the 75th anniversary of Workers Playtime - a BBC radio programme which was started to boost morale among workers during the Second World War.
Dressed in hygienic scrubs, the singer said he was taking part because music "crosses boundaries" and brings communities together.
"I get as much joy singing in the shower as I will singing here today," he added.
Under the banner Take It To The Bridge, live music was staged on more than 40 bridges around the UK.
A Borders piper and a Northumbrian piper played on opposite sides of the Union Chain Bridge, which unites England and Scotland over the River Tweed, before meeting in the middle.
Singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti battled vertigo on London's Tower Bridge - playing his set on a glass-bottomed walkway 42 metres above the River Thames.
"I was clenching my eyes together," he admitted after the performance.
The Military Wives Choir sang Sailing - as made famous by Rod Stewart - on the bridge of HMS Victory in Portsmouth; while Middlesbrough's Tees Transporter Bridge featured live music throughout the day.
In Yorkshire, Rebecca Newman played Bridge over Troubled Waters on a temporary crossing over the River Wharfe. The footbridge was constructed after Tadcaster Bridge crumbled during floods last Christmas.
Full details of events around the UK can be found on the BBC Music Day website.
Duran Duran's concert will be broadcast live from 21:00 BST on Radio 2, while highlights will be shown on BBC One on Sunday, 5 June.
"Can I say thank you to the BBC for Music Day?" said singer Simon LeBon, four songs into their set.
"I think it's an amazing thing to bring people together over music."
#Maggi became the top trending tag on Twitter, with most celebrating the verdict.
The Bombay High Court called the ban by food safety authorities "arbitrary" and said it violated the "principles of natural justice".
Nestle will not be able to sell Maggi until fresh tests ordered by the court clear the popular snack.
The six week rider has however been mostly lost on what is clearly a Maggi craving public.
Some drew ironic comparisons to another popular hashtag "taste of freedom" relating to India's Independence Day which falls on 15 August.
Maggi is one of the most popular snacks in India, and ban and food safety concerns notwithstanding, many hoarded away packets to tide them over the ban.
"The young and old ones in my home can't go without Maggi. So, I got about 30 packs before it went out of stores. Turns out, there are still six of them left", Gargee Borah, a 30-year-old professional from Assam told the BBC.
Facebook shout outs where people have pleaded for Maggi from others who have hoarded packets have also been a common sight since June, when the ban was enforced.
"Cravings happen. All the time. Especially when at the middle of the day (or night), the wind carries the whiff of some selfish neighbour's meal menu", Mala Magotra complained.
"One such day, I pleaded to anyone who was ready to listen - "do you have Maggi? And are you ready to share?" Several replied "I do". Only one offered to send me some. But never did."
Food writer Sourish Bhattacharyya explained India's enduring relationship with its favourite noodles saying, "When Maggi instant noodles arrived in India in 1983 - the year when India lifted the cricket World Cup for the first time - they instantly caught the nation's imagination."
"When the brand launched the Me and Meri Maggi campaign (Me and My Maggi campaign) in its silver jubilee year in 2008, inviting people to send in their personal Maggi stories, its advertising agency Publicis Capital was deluged with more than 30,000 entries."
The High Court order is by no means a complete reprieve for Nestle and Maggi, and even in a best case scenario Indians will have to wait six weeks, assuming the fresh tests declare Maggi safe for human consumption.
The 30-year-old - whose third album Caustic Love topped the charts in 2014 - was arrested in his home town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, on Tuesday.
Police Scotland said: "We can confirm that a 30-year-old man was arrested in Paisley on 21 February in connection with alleged road traffic offences."
Nutini was released on an undertaking to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court at a later date.
But you would be wrong, at least according to the man himself.
As far as Murray is concerned, the next "big goal" lies Down Under.
Winning January's Australian Open is now the top target for a man who has lifted most of the sport's other major prizes, winning his second Wimbledon and retaining his Olympic title in 2016 alone.
"The Australian Open is obviously the next big goal that comes along," said Murray.
"It's less than three months away now. Obviously we've got a break between now and then, so I'll have some time off, but I've been in the final there five times. I'd love to win there.
"It's a tournament I've really enjoyed playing at. I love the conditions. I love Australia. I love playing in Melbourne.
"I've been close, but it's just not quite happened for me, so it's a big goal and I'll be working towards that in December when I'm over in Miami training."
Before the long flight to Melbourne, however, Murray could cap the best season of his life by winning the World Tour Finals, something he's never done, thereby clinching another career milestone: the year-end world number one spot.
Neither of those two achievements seem uppermost in his thoughts at the moment, despite the fact he concedes the event at London's 02 arena is huge for exactly those reasons.
"I never expected to finish the year at number one, so I'm not putting any added pressure on myself this week to do it," said the two-time Wimbledon champion.
"The last few months have been the best of my career. I want to keep that going this week if possible, but if not then I just want to play well."
The chances of that are significantly improved by Murray's status as tennis's new top dog.
He boasts 19 straight wins and four titles in a row, which has helped him get there, but the Scot is phlegmatic about the effect finally reaching world number one has had on him.
"I feel the same, I don't feel different," he said. "I mean, it's just how it is. I don't feel much different to how I felt last week.
"I think maybe when you step on the court or are playing matches then maybe you have a little extra edge, a little more confidence maybe than in the past, but this week I've not felt any different really."
One thing is different about the boy from Dunblane these days. Modes of transport.
As we walked from the TV compound in the back of the O2 Arena back round to the players' lounge and the main court, I reminded Murray that, when he broke into the top 100 as a youngster, he sent his mother a simple text message: "We did it, Mum."
There was a serious upgrade after he became world number one. He and Judy celebrated the achievement with a glass of champagne aboard a private jet from Paris to London.
"It was the only way to get back that night to be at home with the family, so I managed to get out of Paris nice and quickly which was good," he explained.
He'll see plenty of young daughter Sophia and wife Kim this week instead of staying in a central London hotel as he has in previous years.
Murray is commuting into the World Tour Finals from his home in Surrey.
Time with the family has helped him put tennis into perspective. It's also brought out the very best in him and his game. That could be underlined come next weekend.
If he at least matches Novak Djokovic's progress at the O2, a truly spectacular season will finish with Murray's status as this year's best player made official as the year-end world number one.
He said private diesel cars, lorries and buses could be barred from the city at certain times from 2022.
Mr Anderson aims to create a "clean air zone" by no longer licensing new diesel taxis and encouraging zero-emission vehicles.
Unite's Tommy McIntyre, who represents taxi drivers, said: "It's crazy to just bring it in without proper discussion."
Mr Anderson also suggested cruise liners docking in Liverpool should be powered by electricity so they do not have to run diesel engines in port.
The mayor's proposals will be considered by Liverpool City Council's cabinet in early June.
Mr Anderson's ideas follow those of London mayor, Sadiq Khan, who hopes all new taxis in London should be capable of zero emissions from 2018.
The Royal College of Physicians estimates that 40,000 early deaths a year can be attributed to poor air quality in the UK.
Liverpool City Council cited a Public Health England report which found 292 people aged under 19 in the city were admitted to hospital with asthma in 2014-15.
Only Manchester and Birmingham had a higher admission rate.
Mr Anderson, who is in post until 2020, said: "By 2025 I want the city to have developed a central heart where walking, cycling, electric vehicles and clean fuels will dominate, and from which polluting diesel traffic will be discouraged.
"It will also be important to introduce these changes in order to stop older, dirtier vehicles that have been banned in other cities from being relocated to Liverpool."
Liverpool-based Mr McIntyre said: "We don't oppose having eco-taxis, in fact we need them. But it will take at least 10 years, not five.
"This could really impact taxi drivers' livelihoods.
"I don't think many could afford one of these new eco-taxis."
These plans were due to come, perhaps more fully formed, to the city council's cabinet in June and the idea of addressing air pollution in Liverpool will be welcomed by most. But for those who drive diesel vehicles for a living, it's causing a great deal of uncertainty.
London is being used as a comparison, as new diesel taxis there won't be granted a licence from next year. The draft plans in Liverpool suggest adopting a similar scheme.
Liverpool city centre is small and easily walkable, so it won't be hard to create a 'beating heart' for pedestrians. Cyclists, however, still bemoan the lack of provision for bikes.
A big question mark hangs over buses, although work is being done by operators to make them 'greener'. It's worth noting too, that public transport will soon come under the remit of the Metro Mayor for the city region. He or she will be elected in May.
The party, which won two seats in Stormont last year, describes itself as the anti-establishment alternative.
It said its' target of gaining seats in the 2 March election has been made easier because of public fury over the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.
The party is standing seven candidates and said it was very confident.
Gerry Carroll, who topped the poll in west Belfast last May, said: "Last year, we knocked on doors and we said there is an alternative.
"There's an alternative to austerity; there's an alternative to running down the health service; to running down education and under funding education and it took a while to explain to people.
"But now, you just say three letters - RHI, RHI, RHI."
The party is hoping to take a second seat in west Belfast, to retain the Foyle seat won by Eamonn McCann, and it is aiming to win a seat in North Belfast as well.
"This election is about the record of the executive," Mr Carroll said.
"Sinn Féin want to make it about the DUP; the DUP want to make it about Sinn Féin but, for us, this election is about the record of the Sinn Féin/DUP executive."
The party's manifesto calls for an end to corruption at all levels; an end to links between paramilitaries and the State and the introduction of an Irish Language Act.
They also support rights for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community; reform of the rates system and an end to privatisation.
Mr McCann claimed Sinn Féin was "spooked" by the People Before Profit Alliance.
"The DUP and Sinn Féin depend on Catholics and Protestants being hostile to one another," he added.
"If that went away and there was no hostility between the communities, what would Sinn Féin and the DUP do?"
Mr Carroll said: "What we're calling for is a different type of politics, a politics which is not about corruption.
"Also, we're calling for the books to be opened; the books for RHI, the books for Nama, Red Sky, Social Investment Fund and all the scandals, because we think the public should have their say and give their verdict on what's been going on."
The firm has published a patent that describes devices that would turn their heads towards users and listen to what they were saying, before sending commands to remote computer servers.
The three-year old patent was spotted recently by the legal technology firm SmartUp.
It described the proposal as "one of Google's creepiest patents yet".
Privacy campaigners have also raised concerns.
A spokeswoman for Google was unable to say whether this was a product the firm might develop and sell.
"We file patent applications on a variety of ideas that our employees come up with," she said.
"Some of those ideas later mature into real products or services, some don't. Prospective product announcements should not necessarily be inferred from our patent applications," she added.
The patent was originally filed back in February 2012, but has only just been published.
Its inventor is named as Richard Wayne DeVaul, whose job title is "director of rapid evaluation and mad science" at Google X - the firm's secretive "skunkworks" lab.
The patent describes how the toys would include microphones, speakers, cameras and motors as well as a wireless connection to the internet.
It states that a trigger word would cause them to wake up and turn their gaze towards the person addressing them, and would be able to check if the person talking was making eye contact.
The document suggests the device could respond both by speaking back and by expressing "human-like" expressions of interest, curiosity, boredom and/or surprise.
"To express interest, an anthropomorphic device may open its eyes, lift its head and/or focus its gaze on the user," Mr DeVaul wrote.
"To express curiosity, [it] may tilt its head, furrow its brow, and/or scratch its head with an arm."
Drawings show that the machine could be made to look like a bunny rabbit or teddy bear, and the text suggests other alternatives that include dragons and alien life forms.
The patent adds that making the device look "cute" should encourage even the youngest members of a family to interact with it.
"Young children might find these forms to be attractive," it says.
"However, individuals of all ages may find interacting with these anthropomorphic devices to be more natural than interacting with traditional types of user interfaces."
The document suggests the toys could be used to control a wide range of devices, from televisions and DVD players to home thermostats, motorised window curtains and lights.
It adds that they might prove so popular that families would wish to buy several, placing them around the house including inside their bedrooms.
The idea echoes the "super toy" teddy bear featured in Steven Spielberg's 2001 movie AI.
But Mikhail Avady, from SmartUp, said he thought it belonged in "a horror film", and the campaign group Big Brother Watch has also expressed dismay.
"The privacy concerns are clear when devices have the capacity to record conversations and log activity," said its director Emma Carr.
"When those devices are aimed specifically at children, then for many this will step over the creepy line.
"Children should be able to play in private and shouldn't have to fear this sort of passive invasion of their privacy. It is simply unnecessary," she added.
The Center for Democracy and Technology - a research group that helped shape child protection laws in the US - said that parents would have to be "especially vigilant" over the coming years, whether or not Google ever put such toys on sale.
"In general, as technology moves forward, markets will offer a steady stream of products that push or even break mainstream social norms - on privacy as well as other things," said its director of European affairs, Jens-Henrik Jeppesen.
"Responsible companies will understand they need to provide full transparency about how such devices handle data.
"Some consumers may find such products appealing - I suspect most will not," he added.
Google is not the first firm to see the appeal of a family-friendly voice-activated control for the home, as an alternative to using remote controls or smartphones.
Amazon already sells the Echo in the US - a cylindrical internet-linked device that can be used to control music playback, check the weather and order food.
A marketing video for the device shows children using it.
But the fact that it does not look like a toy may have helped it become relatively uncontroversial.
By contrast, Mattel's recent announcement of Hello Barbie - a doll that uses a wi-fi connection and voice recognition to chat with young girls and recall things they said in earlier conversations - has prompted a backlash.
A lobby group called the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood has launched petitions calling for the toy firm to drop the idea.
The petitions have attracted more than 42,000 online signatures.
The 21-year-old defender has made just two Championship appearances for his parent club in 2016-17.
The move is likely to help the Silkmen provide cover for captain Andy Halls, who suffered a hamstring injury in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by Barrow.
Evans could make his debut in Saturday's match at home to Braintree Town.
The visitors led at the break after two tries from Darnell McIntosh and efforts from Lee Gaskell and Alex Mellor, while retiring back-rower Gareth Ellis and Jake Connor went over for the hosts.
Tyler Dickinson and Gaskell extended Huddersfield's lead.
Josh Griffin reduced the arrears but Kruise Leeming and Gaskell scored his hat-trick.
It was a hugely disappointing night for the Airlie Birds, who take on Wigan in the Wembley final on Saturday, 26 August.
They twice took the lead, first through Ellis, who was making his 450th Super League appearance and first since announcing he was retiring at the end of the season, and then through Connor but they never recovered after going into the break 10 points down.
The hosts struggled in defence all night and Gaskell's third summed up their night as he touched down after Mahe Fonua spilled a kick in the in-goal area.
Victory for Huddersfield means they are now just three points outside the play-off places with four games to play, while the Black and Whites remain third.
Hull head coach Lee Radford:
"It has made my job [picking a team for the Challenge Cup final] super easy for one or two. This was down to attitude, real plain and simple.
"It took Danny Brough 46 minutes to kick from his own end which tells its own story.
"Huddersfield ran harder than we hit. And it is a really simple game when you break it down like that."
Huddersfield head coach Rick Stone:
"A few weeks ago we played Hull here in a bit of a knock them down, drag them out affair.
"We learned a bit from that game and tried to play through them a bit more. We got some good results with that and the boys stayed at the plan which was nice.
"Our ball control was better and the result showed in the end."
Hull FC: Connor, Michaels, Fonua, Griffin, Talanoa, Tuimavave, Sneyd, Bowden, Houghton, Watts, Minichiello, Turgut, Ellis.
Replacements: Green, Thompson, Washbrook, Manu.
Huddersfield: Rankin, McGillvary, Mellor, Turner, McIntosh, Gaskell, Brough, Wakeman, Leeming, Ikahihifo, Hinchcliffe, Ta'ai, Clough.
Replacements: O'Brien, Lawrence, Smith, Dickinson.
A broken-down trawler with six fishermen onboard was towed to Lochinver in Sutherland by Lochinver RNLI on Wednesday night.
Earlier on Wednesday, Kyle of Lochalsh RNLI went to the aid of a man stuck on his small boat in rough conditions in Glenelg Bay.
A Met Office warning of high winds is in place until 13:00 on Thursday.
Forecasters warn that winds could gust to 75mph across the Hebrides, Sutherland, Caithness and Orkney.
Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely in many areas of Scotland during that period of the warning, which started from 01:00 on Thursday.
High winds have already been affecting large parts of Scotland west coast and the Highlands.
Ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne said poor weather conditions has been causing disruption on many of its routes.
Kyle of Lochalsh RNLI's call-out on Wednesday afternoon saw the crew help a man get to shore from where his small boat was tied up in Glenelg Bay.
The man was safely dropped off at the ferry slipway at Glenelg.
"I accept the sentence. I will not appeal. I realise the crime I've committed and what I've cost the party," he said.
He was convicted of accepting bribes of 130m yuan ($21.3m; £13.8m), abusing his power and leaking state secrets. The state news agency said the trial was held in closed session due to the secrets charges.
A commentary from the Communist Party's flagship newspaper, The People's Daily, was read on state television's main evening news broadcast: "No one is above law. This case shows that our country is practising the rule of law and our party is determined to eradicate corruption."
The official account of the closed trial said Zhou Yongkang himself conceded the court process was fair and reasonable.
It included videotape testimony from his wife and son, and the court heard that most of the bribes involved family members.
Although the trial was only reported after the event, the official account was robust in its defence of China's judicial process. It said defence lawyers had many opportunities to talk to their client and were also able to cross-examine witnesses.
Few members of the public are weeping for Mr Zhou tonight.
"Tiger Zhou didn't escape lawful punishment. It should ring a warning bell for others", "Support justice. Everyone should obey laws!", "He knows law but breaks law. He deserves to be punished. We're determined to battle corruption," were some of the comments on the website Weibo.
Zhou is just the latest victim of the Orwellian security system he once ran.
Although the key charges relate to corruption, his trial is about politics much more than it is about money.
Zhou is in court because of a power play which went wrong.
During three and a half decades of high-speed growth, bribery and abuse of power have become commonplace among China's Communist Party elite and the charges Mr Zhou faces could be hung round the neck of many of those who currently wield power.
As for deliberately revealing state secrets, almost every aspect of the life and work of China's leadership is deemed a state secret and so this charge too can cover a multitude of sins.
In 2015, Chinese politics is still living through the fall-out of the vicious succession battle which brought Xi Jinping and a new top team to power - a battle in which a murder dealt the winning side a sensational wild card.
But is unlikely that Zhou Yongkang's trial revisited the poisoning of a British businessman in a Chongqing hotel room; and politics watchers will be disappointed that holding the trial entirely in secret has denied them any new insights into the 2012 succession struggle.
This way the current leadership can control the narrative around the theme of corruption, and avoid reminding the public of the dangerous and deadly ways the party elite operates.
But Chinese history is full of palace intrigue over which princeling will succeed the emperor - and a diet of TV soap operas keeps the public conversant with the Byzantine plots and murderous vendettas habitual to its political class.
Xi Jinping himself said recently that the "gene of traditional Chinese culture" is deeply planted in China's governance strategy.
It is unlikely he was referring to blackmail, poisoning and police cover ups.
But when it is no longer treason to tackle the subject matter, the year which began with a murder on 14 November 2011 and ended with the coronation of Xi Jinping exactly 12 months later will provide rich material for historians and scriptwriters alike.
Zhou Yongkang is one of the key protagonists of this drama, and mistakes made then are key to his disgrace now.
His key crimes are political, and the offences for which he has now been sentenced to life imprisonment merely provide the weapon for exacting revenge and ending his career.
So what really happened to bring Zhou Yongkang to the dock?
The short answer is that he was unlucky. He picked the wrong ally in Bo Xilai.
Mr Bo is now also serving a life sentence, but until his wife murdered a British businessman and he fell out with his police chief over the cover up, the Chongqing Party Secretary was aiming for China's top decision making body, the Standing Committee of the Politburo.
It is important to remember that the political battle in the run up to the 18th Communist Party Congress of November 2012 was less about Xi Jinping's accession to the role as party leader for the next decade and more about which men would share the top table with him.
Mr Zhou was required by party rules to retire from the Standing Committee, and it seems plausible that he had decided on Bo as his successor.
Like most party elders, Mr Zhou probably intended to continue his politics from retirement, with his protege Bo protecting his business interests and those of his family and patronage network.
There is no way of confirming rumours that the two plotted to remove Xi Jinping from office, but after the decade of elite bloodletting which accompanied the Cultural Revolution, and the disagreements which threatened to split the leadership two decades later over how to handle the 1989 democracy protests, Beijing is acutely sensitive to the danger of fractures at the top.
In March this year, the Supreme People's Court highlighted questions over what Zhou and Bo were planning when it said in its annual report that Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai had "trampled the law, damaged unity within the Party and conducted non-organisational political activities".
Timeline: Zhou Yongkang
1942: Born in Wu Xi city in China's eastern Jiangsu Province
1964: Joins the Communist Party and spends the next 32 years in China's oil sector
1998: Becomes party secretary of China National Petroleum Corporation
1999: Appointed party secretary of Sichuan
2002: Appointed member of the Politburo at the 16th Party Congress; becomes minister of public security later that year
2007: Further promoted to member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo - China's highest state organ
2012: His lieutenants begin to get sacked and investigated; he appears with Bo Xilai at Chinese National People's Congress session
December 2013: His son Zhou Bin is arrested on corruption charges
December 2014: Arrested, expelled from party
June 2015: Sentenced to life in prison
But even in the densely plotted world of Chinese politics, the best laid plans can go awry.
Neither Zhou Yongkang nor anyone else could have predicted that in November 2011, Bo's wife Gu Kailai would murder a long time British business associate, Neil Heywood, over a business quarrel.
Murder in itself was not enough to rock a high-flying Chinese political career.
Everyone involved seemed to feel invulnerable at the time.
The Chongqing police chief, Wang Lijun, had actually helped Gu obtain the poison she used, and subsequently it was he who organised the cover up.
But events soon started to spiral out of control when the conspirators fell out.
Wang tried to use his knowledge of the murder as political leverage, Bo sacked him and the police chief then pulled the sensational stunt of fleeing to the American consulate in nearby Chengdu to beg for asylum.
Suddenly this was no longer an everyday tale of murder and intrigue in Chinese politics but an international incident which had exploded into the cauldron of Beijing's succession struggle just as the party leader in waiting, Xi Jinping, was about to visit the US.
The charismatic Bo Xilai had earned enemies among the leadership in Beijing through his Maoist slogans and populist campaigns.
As the spreading scandal of murder and cover-up threatened to engulf Bo's hopes of promotion, Zhou fought hard to protect him.
In March 2012, just as the rest of the Standing Committee were uniting against Bo Xilai, Zhou spoke up to defend him.
For the man who once controlled police, paramilitary, intelligence services, prisons and courts, the three-year march to the dock of the Tianjin Intermediate Court must have provided an enlightening vantage point from which to view the empire he built.
Zhou Yongkang's last public appearance was on 1 October 2013, a week after his protege was sentenced to life in prison for bribery, embezzlement and covering up a murder.
With Bo's case concluded, the Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection could turn their attention to Zhou.
This is a story full of rich ironies.
Three years ago, Zhou praised the court officials who delivered Gu Kailai's murder conviction for serving the Communist Party well and "holding a fair trial which would stand the test of history".
Today, his life spared but his family in the hands of his enemies, the once mighty boss of China's court system pronounced a similarly positive verdict on his own trial.
Frankie Davies had gone to Boscastle to do some shopping when she fell "in a heap" on the street and had no mobile signal to call for help.
She said by "incredible luck" a man watching the webcam saw her and phoned his mother who lives in Boscastle.
She then helped Mrs Davies who was treated in hospital.
More on the rescue story, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
Mrs Davies, from St Teath, had gone into the seaside town to get a present for her son.
"I crossed over the road and my left foot shot out in front of me and I just went down," she said.
Minutes later Becky Galvin, who lives in Boscastle, got a call from her son in Worcester.
"I suddenly noticed this lady coming to me and we hobbled back to her place," said Mrs Davies.
"It was amazing that someone in Worcester saw me lying there and and phoned his mum to say 'Can you help her?'"
She said there was nobody around as the weather was bad.
"I was in a lot of pain, so just laid there getting my breath, unable to move hoping things would improve.
"It just shows you how lovely people are really at heart doesn't it?
"They are absolutely wonderful people."
And she did not know there was a webcam, at the Riverside Hotel.
Owner Ross said: "I love the webcam, it was installed for visitors and friends to keep in touch with Boscastle.
"It's used all round the world and it's great that it's been used to help this particular lady."
Mrs Galvin and her son were unavailable for immediate comment.
The University and College Admissions Service says 6,910 students were matched with places through clearing.
This leaves 154,850 students still looking for a university place.
With the student numbers cap lifted this year, experts say universities are competing with each other for students.
Mark Bramwell, Associate Director of Sixth Form Colleges, said: "This year it's the universities who are competing, rather than the students, with increased use of unconditional offers, a 2% increase in students getting their first choice and extensive use of bursaries."
"Universities still have places to fill, and many will accept students who may have only missed the grade by a small margin," he added.
Last year nearly one in eight students were eventually placed through the clearing system.

The businessman took over from Michael Johnston at last year's annual meeting of the Scottish Premiership club.
"I am now 69 and have suffered some health issues in recent months," Mann pointed out in a club statement.
As he lives in Milton Keynes, he said remaining chairman of Kilmarnock had become "unsustainable".
He added it had become difficult to combine the role with his business and other interests.
"There is no reason other than that for my decision to stand down and I hope that the club's shareholders and supporters will give their full support to the board of directors as it embarks upon the process of appointing a new chairman while steering the club away from relegation," he said.
"It is with considerable regret that I have to announce my decision to stand down as chairman of Kilmarnock Football Club at the forthcoming annual general meeting. I will also retire as a director from that date."
Mann, who lived in Kilmarnock until 1972, was a senior executive with TUK Travel plc until his retirement shortly before taking over as chairman at Rugby Park.
Shortly after Mann took over, Gary Locke was made permanent manager having had a spell as caretaker, but the former Kilmarnock midfielder resigned in January with his side sitting second bottom of the table.
The Ayrshire side are in the same position despite the appointment of Lee Clark as Locke's successor and it was not until Saturday that they recorded their first victory under the new boss, at the seventh attempt - a 3-0 defeat of St Johnstone.
"Having been born and bred in Kilmarnock but having spent most of my career working in England, it was a dream come true to be appointed chairman of the club I have supported throughout my life in March 2015," Mann added.
"So this has not been an easy decision for me to reach, particularly at this difficult stage of the season with the club in a precarious league position.
"I wish Lee Clark, his backroom staff and the players the best of luck in the weeks ahead.
"Everyone at the club is fully focused on the task at hand and determined to succeed.
"I have enjoyed working with the club's directors and staff, from all of whom I have received full support and unstinting loyalty. I leave the club in good hands."
The 4-3 victory in their EuroHockey Championship II semi-final ensured they will play in the eight-nation A Division for the first time in 2019.
Wales, who were also unbeaten in their group campaign, will play hosts Scotland in the final.
That will take place on Saturday, with both of the nations guaranteed promotion to Europe's elite.
Wales took the lead after 13 minutes after Rupert Shipperley deflected the ball superbly past the French keeper.
But the French equalised before the break through Gaspard Baumgarten's excellent reverse stick finish.
James Carson restored Wales' lead before Gareth Furlong scored from a penalty corner.
France again pulled one back before Luke Hawker scored Wales's fourth from another penalty corner.
A late French goal set up a nervy finish but Wales held on for victory.
"This is a huge moment for Hockey Wales and the squad," said Wales captain Lewis Prosser.
"We have been building towards this for the last two years and we are playing the best hockey we have ever played.
"I am so happy we got to the A division and I can't quite believe it."
Scotland beat Russia 4-3 in their semi-final.
While English and Welsh are the usual forms of communications in the Senedd, it opted for the native tongue of the enemies of Star Trek's Captain Kirk.
Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar had asked for details of UFOs sightings and asked if research would be funded.
A Welsh government spokesman responded with: "jang vIDa je due luq."
The Welsh government statement continued: "'ach ghotvam'e' QI'yaH devolve qaS."
In full it said it translated as: "The minister will reply in due course. However this is a non-devolved matter."
It is believed to be the first time the Welsh government has chosen to communicate in Klingon.
Mr Millar, shadow health minister and AM for Clwyd West, submitted three questions to economy, science and transport minister Edwina Hart about UFO reports around the airport and across the rest of Wales.
Responding to the government's unusual diversion into trilingualism, Mr Millar said: "I've always suspected that Labour ministers came from another planet. This response confirms it."
Mr Millar asked:
The 24-year-old, who went on loan to Rotherham this term after injury, has played eight times since his return.
"We've got a (12-month) option on him (in the summer) and clearly I'm going to take that up," said McCarthy.
"We are in negotiations with him about a new contract. Whether he's happy with what we've offered him I don't know - Marcus (Evans) is dealing with it."
Hyam, who has made 105 league appearances for Ipswich, played in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Reading which lifted Town into the Championship play-offs, with Brett Pitman's 89th-minute winner securing the Portman Road win.
"We worked unbelievably hard and scrapped and fought for everything," McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk of his side's performance.
"That was one of our hardest games all season, physically. We didn't play particularly well but we were playing against a really good team full of quality Championship players.
"All the things I talk about, resilience, determination and endurance, that is sometimes much maligned because people and I want sexy football - but it's not always a league you can do it in.
"As I've found over my 24 years doing it, you tend to get more out of it with all those physical, tough qualities than you do with just wanting to be a nice football team."
The 0.2% rise in house prices last month was down from a 0.8% rise in December, although that left prices 4.3% higher than at this time in 2016.
"The outlook for the housing market remains clouded," said Nationwide economist Robert Gardner.
The average price of a house in the UK dropped slightly to £205,240.
Mr Gardner said that so far there had not been a negative impact on the economy following the vote to leave the EU.
"The economy has remained far stronger than expected in the wake of the Brexit vote.
"Recent data indicates that the economy didn't slow in the second half of 2016 and the unemployment rate remained stable at an 11-year-low in the three months to November."
However, he added: "There are tentative signs that conditions may be about to soften.
"Employment growth has moderated and while wage growth has edged up in recent months, in real terms, earnings growth has already slowed."
Even though the Nationwide reckons that house price inflation was 4.3% in January, it still believes the average figure for 2017 will end up at 2%. That implies a fairly dramatic dip in inflation during the months ahead.
In fact it looks like house prices could soon be rising at a slower rate than the cost of living as a whole.
In the smartest parts of London, prices have already fallen by up to 12% in the last year, according to some analysis.
But Nationwide's gloomy outlook for the economy and house prices may be good news for house-hunters.
Among those sites set to open are the historic Durbar squares or "noble courts", which were badly damaged.
Unesco raised some concerns over the safety of reopening the sites. But media reports cite officials as saying the necessary measures are in place.
More than 8,000 people were killed and the destruction was widespread.
Shortly after the quake, Unesco's director-general Irina Bokova described damage to the Kathmandu valley as "extensive and irreversible". It sent a team to assess the damage and is continuing to monitor the situation.
On 11 June Unesco issued a statement asking the public to be extra cautious at the sites, adding that it hoped the decision to reopen them could be re-examined.
Security will be in place, tourists will be given guided tours and signboards will indicate specified routes to cause minimal disturbance to structures, officials are quoted as saying in local media.

The Durbar Square in Kathmandu's Old City is a mesh of palaces, courtyards and temples. Unesco calls it "the social, religious and urban focal point" of the Nepalese capital. The UN has urged security perimeters be put in place here.
Unesco says the process of salvaging the artefacts at the Buddhist temple complex at the Swayambhunath temple complex - founded in the 5th Century - is still ongoing. It also believes that opening the area could risk the theft of art and cultural objects.
The main temple in Bhaktapur's Durbar Square lost its roof, while the 16th Century Vatsala Durga temple, famous for its sandstone walls and gold-topped pagodas, was demolished by the quake. Local media reports that tourists to severely damaged Changu Narayan of northern Bhaktapur will be carefully monitored .
Patan's Durbar Square, the 3rd Century site across the Bagmati river to the east of Kathmandu, was opened to the public last week.
The body was found on Sunday night on what police said was an inaccessible area of waste ground next to the M6.
Zahid Mirza's car crashed on the southbound carriageway between junctions 4A and 5 near Coleshill, Warwickshire, on 15 January.
The car was empty and Mr Mirza, 40, has not been seen by his family since.
The body was found after two days of intensive searching, police said.
Mr Mirza is from Chelmsley Wood, near Solihull.

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

Pardew was appointed on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2015 but the 55-year-old has been dismissed after a run of one victory in 11 games.
Palace have taken just 26 points from the 36 Premier League matches they have played in 2016 and are only one point above the relegation zone.
Former England boss Sam Allardyce is the bookmakers' favourite to take over.
The ex-Sunderland, Newcastle and West Ham boss is among those expected to be considered.
Chairman Steve Parish told BBC Sport: "We all bought into the decision to play a more expansive style of football. We all believed in it. That hasn't worked. It's no-one's fault. The players have been running their socks off for Alan, the spirit is good.

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

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

Released by Swansea in 2016, he most recently played for Welsh Premier League side Aberystwyth and has played four pre-season games for Yeovil.
"How Daniel has been playing non-league football for Aberystwyth Town is beyond me," said Yeovil manager Darren Way.
"It's up to him now to take this opportunity and aim for 40 league games this season."

The 26-year-old scored 23 goals in 48 appearances last season as the Dons won promotion to the third tier via the League Two play-off final.
"Neal Ardley's style of management, his philosophy, and his ethos is the reason for me signing this contract," Taylor told the club website.
The Dons have not disclosed the length of Taylor's new deal at Kingsmeadow.
Mohammed Rehman, 24, from Reading and Sana Ahmed Khan, 23, from Wokingham, were arrested last Thursday in a "pre-planned operation", police said.
Officers said the pair were arrested to "safeguard public safety" but added that they did not pose any imminent threat to the UK.
They will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Mr Rehman also faces a charge of possessing articles for terrorist purposes.
Police said they were arrested by officers from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit in a joint operation with the South East Counter Terrorism Unit.
"The arrests were intelligence-led and made to safeguard public safety," West Midlands Police said in a statement.
"However, the action taken was pre-planned and police assess that the pair did not pose any imminent threat to the UK.
"Following the arrests, their home addresses were searched and a number of items were removed for forensic examination."
Before holding talks with King Salman, he said he hoped to lift "co-operation in various fields to a new level".
Later this week, Mr Xi will travel to Saudi Arabia's regional rival, Iran.
China buys large amounts of oil from both states, and says it does not want to take sides in a bitter dispute over Riyadh's execution of a Shia cleric.
Saudi Arabia recalled its ambassador from Iran earlier this month in protest at the storming of its embassy in Tehran by a crowd angered by the killing of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
"Regarding some of the region's problems, China has always taken a balanced and just position," Vice-Foreign Minister Zhang Ming told reporters on Monday when asked whether the president would attempt to mediate in the dispute.
Mr Xi was greeted at Riyadh's airport on Tuesday by Saudi Arabia's Deputy Crown Prince and Defence Minister, Mohammed bin Salman.
"Since China and Saudi Arabia forged diplomatic ties 26 years ago, our relationship has developed by leaps and bounds, with mutual political trust deepening continuously and rich results in co-operation in various fields," Mr Xi was quoted as saying by China's official Xinhua news agency.
"I believe that my visit will be a friendly trip with fruitful achievements, thus conducive to lifting our co-operation in various fields to a new level and to elevating the collective co-operation between China and [Gulf Co-operation Council] nations," he added.
Xinhua reported that Saudi Arabia was China's biggest supplier of crude oil, and bilateral trade reached $69.1bn (£48.7bn) in 2014.
On Wednesday, Mr Xi and King Salman will inaugurate an energy research centre in Riyadh and open remotely the Yasref oil refinery, a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and China's Sinopec.
The official Saudi Press Agency reported that the two companies signed a framework agreement for strategic co-operation on Tuesday, and also that the Saudi and Chinese governments had signed a memorandum of understanding to build a high-energy nuclear reactor.
After his visit to Saudi Arabia, Mr Xi will travel to Egypt, where he will meet President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and deliver a speech to the Arab League on China's policies in the Middle East, and then Iran.
Mr Xi will arrive in Tehran only days after crippling economic sanctions against Iran were lifted as part of a long-term nuclear deal with world powers, including China.
Ken MacBrayne has been told he will receive no more support from the party after a string of posts came to light.
The 72-year-old is seeking election to Western Isles Council.
The Tories said the comments were "totally unacceptable" and said Mr MacBrayne was "no longer a member".
However, he will still appear on the ballot for the Benbecula and North Uist ward on 4 May as the nomination list is finalised.
Publicly viewable posts on social media platforms by Mr MacBrayne included insults directed at Ms Sturgeon and calls for her to be physically gagged.
He also shared posts by right-wing group Britain First calling for immigrants and asylum seekers to be denied benefits and predicting a religious war in the UK and Europe.
An SNP spokeswoman said: "Mr MacBrayne's comments are extremely offensive, with rants of this nature completely inappropriate from someone standing for public office.
"The disturbing, extremist views include what is essentially neo-Nazi propaganda gloating about a coming race war from a self-proclaimed 'resistance' group.
"It is staggering that this bile is coming from a Tory candidate."
A Scottish Conservative spokesman said: "These comments are totally unacceptable, and the party have informed the candidate that he shall be receiving no further support for his campaign.
"The party has also suspended Mr MacBrayne, and he is no longer a member."
Romanian Halep was trailing 2-6 6-3 1-0 when she withdrew saying she "had a headache" and "felt sick".
In the men's event, Kei Nishikori beat Tommy Paul 3-6 7-6 (10-8) 6-4 to set up a semi-final against Alexander Zverev.
Canada's Milos Raonic lost 7-5 6-4 to American Jack Sock, who will play Kevin Anderson in the other semi-final.
South Africa's Anderson, who knocked out Austrian top seed Dominic Thiem, hit 21 aces to defeat 200th-ranked Indian qualifier Yuki Bhambri 6-4 4-6 6-3.
World number 10 Raonic's exit means he has now gone 30 tournaments since lifting his last trophy in Brisbane in 2016 - a drought of 19 months.
Japan's Nishikori saved three match points against American Paul in a contest which lasted two hours and 40 minutes, compared to German Zverev's 57-minute 6-2 6-4 win over Russia's Daniil Medvedev.
Next up for Makarova in the women's draw is a semi-final on Saturday against French fifth seed Oceane Dodin, who beat Germany's Sabine Lisicki 5-7 6-4 7-6 (7-4).
The other women's semi-final will be an all-German tie as fourth seed Julia Goerges, who beat Monica Niculescu 6-3 6-4, takes on unseeded Andrea Petkovic following her 6-7 (3-7) 6-1 6-2 victory over Bianca Andreescu.
Meanwhile, in the Stanford Bank of the West Classic in California, Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza reached the semi-finals with a 6-1 6-3 win over Croatia's Ana Konjuh.
However, two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova was comprehensively beaten 6-2 6-0 by 18-year-old American Catherine Bellis.
Kvitova, who only returned to tennis in May after a knife attack that threatened her career, hit 26 unforced errors in the match.
The semi-final line-ups will see Bellis, 18, take on compatriot Coco Vandeweghe, while Muguruza faces American Madison Keys, who beat Lesia Tsurenko, of Ukraine, 6-4 6-3.
But the country's complex tax system seems to be one of its biggest hindrances.
The former head of Greece's tax collection agency, raising taxes in the midst of the financial crisis, told the BBC "it was not an easy job to do".
Probably a masterful understatement, given Greece's recent past.
Harry Theocharis is now an MP, but used to be the most wanted man in Greece - and not in a good way.
It was his job to try to raise taxes in the middle of the financial crisis and try to reform the notoriously inefficient tax system itself.
"You make everybody's life difficult... it doesn't make you popular at all," he said.
To give just one example of the complexities Mr Theocharis wrestled with: in Greece there are six different rates of VAT. The normal rate is 23% - there are two reduced ones for items such as food, fuel and medicine.
But the Greek Islands enjoy reduced rates of VAT to encourage people to stay in remote parts of the country and to help the vital tourism industry there.
That makes six rates in all, and creates plenty of opportunities for dodging tax.
A recent surge in tourism on the island of Mykonos for instance seems to have led to lower payments of VAT to the Greek government.
Greece also has a pension system that is amazingly complex, with numerous exceptions for different jobs allowing for early retirement.
The pensions are not very generous on average, but overall the Greek government is spending 30% more on pensions than the British government does. The whole system is in desperate need of simplification in order to make it cheaper to run.
Then there are the privatisations. At the start of the crisis, the Greek government committed itself to bringing in €50bn from the sale of state assets. According to Mr Theocharis, that target was soon reduced to €30bn and then €20bn.
In total, the government has managed to raise about €2-3bn so far.
Things like the privatisation of the port of Piraeus are supposed to be bringing in more, but they have been delayed, cancelled and then relaunched.
Then there are the cuts that have been reversed, such as the reopening after two years of the state broadcasting company ERT, which started programmes again this year.
The problem therefore is not so much that Greece is incapable of reform or does not know what needs doing, but that it has wasted five years of the bailout without making serious attempts to fix the structural problems that beset the economy - and in many cases it is actually going backwards.
If it had started five years ago, it might have been seeing the results by now as countries like Ireland and Spain have done, but one of the reasons that the Greek bailout has reached another crisis point is that it has hardly started.
It is not the kind of record that is likely to make the countries that are lending Greece all that money trust them with some more.
Prosecutors say six former officials in his government were also held.
Mr Saca, 50, has not publicly commented on the accusations. He held office from 2004 to 2009.
He is one of three former presidents - who were in power in the last 16 years - currently under investigation by the country's prosecutors.
Mauricio Funes, who succeeded Mr Saca and left office in 2014, is facing a civil action in connection with funds discovered in his bank accounts, allegedly obtained illegally.
He is also facing a related investigation into possible political corruption during his time in office.
Mr Funes denies the accusations.
In January, Francisco Flores died from a stroke as he waited his trial on charges of embezzlement and illegal enrichment.
He was in power from 1999 to 2004.
In its announcement, the prosecutor's office said that Mr Saca was accused of fraud and money laundering.
Friday was dubbed Bill Murray Day by organisers, who put on free screenings of the star's films.
Murray himself was on hand to take part in events, including a special question-and-answer session for fans.
"I like to feel that every day is Bill Murray day. At least for a second every day," the star said. He is in town to promote his latest film, St Vincent.
It sees him play a cantankerous war veteran who finds himself having to look after his neighbour's 12-year-old son.
Speaking about Murray's special honour, co-star Melissa McCarthy said it was overdue.
"He's just kind of an amazing person and his body of work is so varied and so good - I think it's about time that we have a Bill Murray Day," she said.
Irish star Chris O'Dowd, who also stars in the film, joked about how he would be marking the occasion.
"Well we're going to sacrifice a goat at seven - that's probably the normal thing - and then just have a nice early night," he said.
"I think it's really great they said to him that today, and every 5 September, he can kill a man. They said he can kill just any one man, and the next day they're like, 'Don't worry about it'."
Murray told fans at the Q&A he was honoured to be recognised at the festival for his life's work.
"The only reason I've had the career I've had is someone told me some secrets early on about living - the more relaxed you are the better you are," he said.
Earlier, fans dressed up in costumes of Murray characters in honour of the star.
The actor picked out a baby in the crowd, who was dressed as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, saying: "That is one good-looking baby."
It follows the death of an osprey in Mynydd Hiraethog, Conwy county, when its wings touched high voltage cables.
Wildlife enthusiasts have been working with electricity firm Scottish Power to make overhead lines safer for large birds such as ospreys and buzzards.
Man-made osprey nests are also being put up to deter the birds from perching on wooden electricity poles.
"I just felt that this can't be allowed to happen again," said volunteer Gail Edgley, who has been co-ordinating the work.
The modifications to power lines are taking place in areas where the birds have been known to nest or hunt for fishing.
It involves moving the wires further apart, fitting rings on the lines to deter birds and making it harder for them to perch on transformer boxes which supply homes.
Liam O'Sullivan from Scottish Power said: "The death of the osprey in May was the first fatality that I can ever recall in our north Wales district.
"We wanted to act quickly to help to prevent any future incidents."

Overall, 174 awards went to products from Wales, with 122 entries achieving one star, 42 getting two stars and 10 receiving the three-star accolade.
Of the 10,000 international entries, only 130 have been awarded three stars.
Judged in Wales for the first time, products including haggis made in Knighton, Powys received the rating.
The products now have a chance of being crowned Great Taste Supreme Champion 2015. The winner will be announced in London on 7 September.
The body of James Nicholls, 29, from Long Eaton, was discovered on Tuesday by workmen at High Melton College where he was a student.
South Yorkshire Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious.
Deputy Principal of the college Catherine Parkinson said: "Our sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to the family at this unimaginably sad time".

High Melton is a campus of Doncaster College.
A force spokesman said inquiries were ongoing to determine the exact circumstances around Mr Nicholls' death.
The Grade II listed buildings in the Grangetown area of Cardiff were put on the market 18 months ago.
The council has confirmed its received offers for the Victorian buildings, and is looking for a "viable and sustainable solution" for the site.
Local politicians say arts and culture must play a part in any new development.
A deadline for interest parties has now ended and the council has confirmed bids have been received.
A spokesman said the council was now looking to "see the building fully refurbished in line with its listed status, including potential community uses".
It is understood one of the bids involves a mix of business and living space.
The building at Pendyris Street, which is on the edge of Grangetown, is across the river from a new enterprise zone which is seen as key to the city centre's regeneration.
Conditions of the sale for business use have been to include a community room, with hopes also of potentially developing arts and dance studios, an auditorium or cinema, alongside small businesses and work units.
The building was formerly earmarked as a contemporary art gallery as part of the city's failed European City of Culture bid more than a decade ago.
Over the last year, pop-up photographic exhibitions have been held as part of a city-wide festival, as well as a dance and animation event to showcase the building's potential.
The depot was used to house trams, which ran in the area from the early 1880s, and then trolley buses until they stopped running 60 years ago.
The building had been used for repairing council vehicles over recent years but its redbrick facade with arches is listed.
David Drake, director of Ffotogallery - which is looking for a new Cardiff home - has met with universities, arts organisations and innovations group Nesta, about a partnership to develop the building.
He said it was good news a credible developer had come forward and he was keen to speak to them once negotiations with the council were complete.
"We think it's a fantastic space and we'd love to do something again there with the Diffusion festival next year," he said.
"With the BBC's plans for the front of the station, that whole area will be changing in character and it would bring the Tramsheds back towards what's going on in the city centre.
"It's also a very interesting building with a lively residential community in Grangetown and Riverside nearby and it would be fantastic to develop community and cultural provision for that area."
Local councillor Ashley Govier said he was encouraged there had been interest.
"I still want to see a cultural centre, similar to what you see at Chapter but reflecting the different cultures in this area."
Kevin Donaghy, from St Ronan's Primary School in Newry called the situation faced by the school a "crisis".
In a letter to parents, he said politicians had failed to "put aside old animosities and work for the benefit of our children".
He also warned of "devastating cuts".
"It was widely hoped that the different political parties would, for the betterment of all, be able to put aside their differences," he wrote.
"Unfortunately we see that this continued failure to reach an agreement means that education will now not have a budget."
The letter - headed "schools in financial crisis due to NI Executive failure to set a budget for education" - has been sent to the parents of all 390 pupils in the school.
In it, Mr Donaghy told parents that he has to make a further £46,000 of cuts in 2017-18, having already saved £30,000 in 2016-17.
"The amount of money we have to run and maintain the school has been dramatically decreased," he wrote.
He said that this would mean the school would have to reduce "special education support and classroom assistant support".
"We will have to ask you to financially contribute to programs such as after-school programmes and our music, which we as a school have paid in the past," he said.
"We can no longer afford to do this."
Mr Donaghy said that he will have to end Spanish lessons for all pupils if the school parents association cannot raise the money to pay for them.
He also told parents that the school would gets less funding as fewer than 30% of its pupils are entitled to free school meals.
"The money we now receive from the Department of Education will not cover our expenditure," he wrote.
"Within three years, unless funding is dramatically increased, we as a school will be in substantial deficit."
St Ronan's Primary School currently receives annual funding of more than £1m from the Department of Education (DE).
It has been able to balance its books and remain within budget in recent years.
However, a separate document published by DE shows that the school is forecast to be in the red by £47,000 in the 2018-19 school year.
Last month, all schools were told that they faced "an extremely challenging budgetary position in 2017-18".
The warning came in a letter from the finance director at the Department of Education, Gary Fair.
Suarez took his tally to 40 goals as Barca beat Granada to win the title.
Suarez, who scored 14 in the final five games, finished five clear of Real Madrid's Ronaldo - last year's winner.
Diego Forlan was top scorer seven years ago for Atletico Madrid, with Messi and Ronaldo each winning three Pichichis.
Messi, who plays alongside Suarez for Barca, was third this season with 26.
Former Liverpool striker Suarez, who played 35 times in La Liga this season, has scored 60 goals in 52 games in all competitions in 2015-16.
"I score goals thank to hard work and the help of my team-mates," said Suarez. "They give me the chances and I just put them away.
"[The Pichichi] would not have meant anything if we had not won the league."

The Brewers, who were in League Two in 2014, ensured their survival on the Championship's penultimate weekend.
Skipper Mousinho told BBC Radio Derby: "The overwhelming feeling was that it was a bit underwhelming, compared to how we thought it was going to be.
"At the time it was a feeling of job done and that reflects well on the lads as to where they see themselves."
Burton, who finished a point clear of the relegation zone in 20th place, ensured Championship football next season with a 1-1 draw at Barnsley, and Sunday's 4-2 home defeat by Reading was irrelevant.
"It is a massive achievement and maybe we should have been more elated about it," continued 31-year-old Mousinho.
"In some ways it is more of an achievement than getting promoted, it is more of a stiff task to stay in the Championship than to get out of League One perhaps.
"It was a different feeling and one which will take a bit of time to sink in."
Brewers manager Nigel Clough turned down the chance to manage Nottingham Forest in January, instead focusing on keeping Burton in the Championship.
The 51-year-old returned for a second stint at Burton in December 2015 and led the team to promotion from League One.
"I think it is incredible what he has done, not just this season and last but for the club in general," said Mousinho
"He has done unbelievably well and I don't have a bad word to say about him.
"He has given me the opportunity to lead the club into the Championship and play in the Championship.
"It is a combination of the tactics, man-management, motivation and the recruitment - and that comes from the manager and the staff."
Evans was advised by the club's chairman Massimo Cellino not to talk to the media following Monday's 4-0 defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion.
"I 100% have to believe that I am going to be here in the summer," the 53-year-old told BBC Radio Leeds.
"I never lay in fear of my job because I work too hard at it."
He continued: "People have to make decision whether they want you or not and I've always respected that no matter where I have been at."
Evans, who took over at Elland Road in October following the sacking of Uwe Rosler, is the sixth head coach to work under Cellino since he became Leeds owner in April 2014.
The Scot said he agreed that it was the best option for him to not speak to the press after Monday's defeat.
"The first thing I need to do is apologise to every Leeds United supporter," he added. "I was told there was a preference for me not to speak to the media and when I learned the reasons I respected that.
"I am an emotional guy and people know I wear my heart on my sleeve, possibly too openly at times."
Leeds, currently 18th in the table, host struggling Bolton on Saturday.
The 500lb device was discovered 2.5 nautical miles from the coast, about 8m below the surface.
Divers conducting a survey for the construction of the new power station found the ordnance on Monday.
It was destroyed in a controlled explosion at about 15:00 BST on Tuesday.
The "unusual" ordnance was found off Lilstock Range, just west from Steart point and Bridgwater in Somerset.
The coast around Lilstock was used as part of a practice bombing range for the Royal Navy.
Latest on the operation to destroy the bomb in the Bristol Channel.
HM Coastguard said it first received a warning yesterday and advised vessels in the area to keep clear.
The Royal Navy Bomb Squad based at Devonport naval base was called in and a 1km exclusion zone was set up.
EDF Energy said its team of divers made the discovery 8m below the surface while checking the seabed ahead of the construction of the main cooling water tunnels for new Hinkley Point C nuclear power station being built.
David Eccles from EDF said: "We have put a cordon zone around the area and are working closely with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and the Royal Navy."
Shadow Culture Secretary Chris Bryant said the Welsh language broadcaster had "triumphed" despite cuts to its budget in recent years.
S4C receives £75m, the bulk of its money, from the BBC licence fee.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said S4C was an "important part" of UK broadcasting.
The channel also receives £7m funding from the UK government, as well as some commercial income.
Negotiations over the future size and funding of the BBC will begin in the summer as part of the renewal of its royal charter.
Mr Bryant, the MP for Rhondda, said he did not trust the new government with the future funding and feared S4C could suffer as a result of any changes to the BBC's arrangement.
"I think that they want to shrink the BBC and if they're shrinking the BBC and S4C is (partly funded by) the BBC, then there's a real danger that S4C will be shrunk as well," he said.
S4C had "triumphed" in the face of a 36% cut to its budget since 2010, he said, but added that "now we need to make sure they can continue to do so into the future".
"I will be holding [new Culture Secretary] John Whittingdale's feet not just to the fire, but frankly in the fire, if they get this wrong."
Mr Whittingdale turned down a request for an interview.
The DCMS said: "Future decisions on the licence fee will be considered as part of the Charter Review process."
S4C chairman Huw Jones welcomed Mr Whittingdale's appointment and said he wanted to ensure S4C was fully considered in future negotiations over the BBC's structure and funding.
"We don't want something to happen, as happened in 2010, where discussions took place behind closed doors and S4C wasn't involved, and the people of Wales weren't involved. And we've had assurances, pretty generally, that won't be the case again."
Conservative MP for Montgomeryshire, Glyn Davies, said he could understand why S4C wanted financial security and it was "inevitable" that Welsh MPs from all parties were concerned.
"Clearly there's a case over the few years of the government having to cut back and the discussions I had at the beginning of the last parliament were difficult because we were breaking the link between inflation and S4C.
"I'm confident in the future. It's unique and it's hugely important and I'm sure the UK government will recognise that."
O'Flaherty clocked 10:05.10 - almost 23 seconds outside her personal best - as she slowed after attempting to match the fast early pace in hot conditions.
The 34-year-old set her personal best of 9:42.61 in early July.
That was both a World Championship and Olympic Games qualifying standard.
O'Flaherty and her two Irish team-mates Sara Treacy and Michelle Finn were all some way down on their personal bests as they struggled amid hot and humid conditions in the Chinese capital.
Treacy also finished 13th in her qualifier in 9:48.24 although her time was only four seconds outside her best with Finn clocking 9:55.27 to place ninth in her heat.
"I'm disappointed about the time but I'm delighted to be here," said O'Flaherty after the race.
"Hopefully on the road to Rio now it's given me the chance to run against the best in the world and experience the call room and everything."
In the last of the three heats, Turkish athlete Tugba Guvenc produced a fast early pace as she reached the first kilometre in 3:05.66.
O'Flaherty battled to stay with the leading group during the early stages of the race but then lost touch with the leaders as the Turk also paid for her early endeavours.
Finn Valley athlete Tori Pena missed out on a place in the women's pole vault final after her best leap of 4:30m left her 20th overall.
Californian native Pena set her personal best of 4.60m two years ago.
More than 10 remain unconscious, police said. Some were covered by the debris.
The eruption at the 3,067m (10,120ft) peak, situated between Nagano and Gifu prefectures, trapped hundreds of climbers who were forced to seek shelter in lodges near the summit.
Some 230 have managed to descend - some 40 have yet to be rescued.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe authorised army units to help those trapped.
Officials warned residents within a 4km radius of the risk of debris.
Mount Ontake last erupted in 2007.
"It was like thunder," a woman who runs a lodge near the summit told Japanese broadcaster NHK.
"I heard boom, boom, then everything went dark."
"There are 15cm [six inches] of ash on the ground," she said.
One of the climbers who managed to descend told NHK, "I escaped with my bare life."
"Immediately after I watched the eruption, I rushed away but I was soon covered with ash."
The 56-year-old took over in August with Genk 13th in the 16-team table after four games.
He steered them to within a point of the top six, failing to reach the play-offs for the league title.
"Communicating this decision creates clarity and will allow us now to put our focus on winning a Europa League place," said McLeish.
"Myself, the staff and players promise to give every ounce of energy as we did in the regular competition."
McLeish, who managed Birmingham City, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest after resigning as Scotland boss in 2007, signed a two-year contract on his arrival in Belgium.
The teams ranked seven to 14 in the Jupiler Pro League split into two play-off groups, with the winners of each section meeting over two legs.
The winners of that tie go on to meet either the fourth or fifth team from the top six, depending on where the cup winners finish, for the final Europa League spot.
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.

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.
McGeehan scored his 10th of the season with a half-volley that looped over debutant keeper Ryan Allsop.
The hosts, who drop to 10th, had the ball in the net after the break, but Paris Cowan-Hall's header was disallowed for a push on the keeper.
Paul Benson hit the post late on for Luton as they held out for the win.
Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"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:

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

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."

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. | Yeovil Town have made defender Daniel Alfei their ninth summer signing following a successful trial period.

It was one of 42 affected at the hospital in Londonderry due to a nursing shortage and vomiting bug.
The Western Trust said that 25 beds across the hospital remain closed a week after its medical director confirmed it was facing challenges.
A spokesperson for the trust said that they do not comment on individual cases.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said she was told there were not enough beds.
She said she is in constant pain, which she can only treat with over-the-counter pain killers because of complications caused by other health conditions.
"I was looking forward to getting the surgery done. I just felt disappointed because I was all ready to go and built up for it.
"I have to have surgery on my toe as I have an extra bone in my toe," she said.
"I would like some clarity."
Representatives from the Royal College of Nursing met the trust on Thursday to voice their concerns.
Garrett Martin, deputy director of the RCN in Northern Ireland, said there are a large number of nursing vacancies.
"Nurses are telling us that they don't feel valued at this moment in time," he said.
"They are telling us that they are not getting breaks and working additional hours."
Dr Dermot Hughes, Medical Director for the Western Trust, said: "Any patient whose appointment had been postponed will be offered an alternative date. The trust is working to recruit more nurses.
"The situation at the hospital is reviewed on a daily basis with a view to making best use of our available bed capacity, and to ensure our most clinically urgent patients receive their scheduled operations and treatments".
Completion of the main building work was marked at the Cubric centre at Cardiff University, which will have one of the most sophisticated MRI scanners in the world.
It will allow scientists to look at how brains work in minute detail.
The hope is to understand more about the causes of conditions like dementia, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia.
Cubric at Maindy Park, which opens in a year, will bring together four hi-tech scanners to look at how the brain works and what is exactly happening when things go wrong.
One of the scanners is a European-first and will allow scientists to study brain cells only 1000th of a millimetre across.
The hope is to make important breakthroughs in treating conditions over the next 20 years.
Prof Derek Jones, Cubric director, said: "It's the most exciting and important development in neuro-imaging in the last 10 years.
"It's going to be the largest imaging centre built in Europe, which is going to allow us to expand massively the breadth and depth of imaging we can do."
The new Connectome - or micro-structure scanner - is being supported by the Welsh government to the tune of £3.4m.
It will be a first outside the United States and allow scientists to unravel the full connectivity map of the human brain and hopefully unlock many of its secrets.
Prof Jones compares the conventional scanner to pointing a telescope at a galaxy and seeing a blur.
The Connectome will enable scientists to focus on what lies there for the first time.
"We will be able look in exquisite detail at the information we get from brain cells and can start to look at how these affect how the brain connections vary and how people perform in different tasks," he said.
Within 10 years, the team hopes to know more about the biology of the brain within a whole range of disorders and, within 20 years, "to do something about it".
It will be a shared resource across Europe, with interested collaborators in the United States, Taiwan and China.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford, who visited the site for a topping-out ceremony, said: "There will be things that go on here that we know won't go on anywhere else in Europe".
He said it would attract some of the top researchers from around the world and was a "significant development for Wales".
"We want to make sure that research translates into treatments and that's why as a government we've put our money alongside others into what you see today".
Mohit Goel was held after one of the phone's distributors claimed it had not received handsets it had paid for.
The Freedom 251 phone, priced at 251 rupees ($3.70; £3), went on pre-sale in February 2016.
But while many customers got their phones, Ringing Bells is accused of not fulfilling all of its orders.
Is India’s $3.60 smartphone too good to be true?
Donkeys, Trump and an Indian election
The distribution company, Ayam Enterprises, said it paid 3m rupees ($45,000; £35,800) after Mr Goel persuaded it to distribute the phone.
But it claimed only 1.4m-worth of devices were delivered and alleged staff received death threats if they "kept asking for the money again and again".
Police spokesman Rahul Srivastava confirmed the arrest to the BBC, and said that Mr Goel would appear in court on Friday.
"A number of similar complaints have been filed against him from other parts of the state. We want to investigate these claims thoroughly," he said.
"It's important for us to expose these scams because innocent people end up losing their hard-earned money.
"We are seeing an increasing number of technology-related frauds. I appeal to people to be sure before investing money into such schemes."
Ringing Bells first started taking money for the phones in February last year, initially promising delivery by June.
Demand for the cheap handset, which it sold through its own website, caused the company's servers to crash.
At the launch, Mr Goel had said the phone would be locally made as part of the Make in India program, promoted aggressively by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
But there were plenty of questions around the firm's business model, with many asking how it could be offered so cheaply. Several analysts have described the phone as a "ponzi scheme".
Cuba's Communist youth newspaper Juventud Rebelde invoked the lyrics of the Cuban revolutionary anthem Hasta Siempre in its tributes to late President Fidel Castro.
The paper describes him as a "hurricane chaser" whose achievements in life were "evidence of the possible".
The rest of Cuba's tightly-controlled media took a similar line. The Communist party newspaper Granma hailed Castro's "discipline, loyalty and courage" while Radio Reloj called him a "symbol of humanity".
The Cubadebate website said: "We will always love you, as well as defend the revolution that you sparked."
Elsewhere in the world there is a greater divergence of opinion on Castro's legacy, although there is little doubt about his impact on history.
Argentina's Clarin calls him "a major revolutionary... and one of the protagonists of the 20th century", while Mexico's Jornada says he "will remain one of the leaders who will be most remembered and analysed".
Nicaragua's El Nuevo Diario says: "He was both admired as a revolutionary myth and accused of being a dictator but even his enemies acknowledged his charisma and leadership skills.
"No-one stayed indifferent to his controversial personality," it concludes.
Russia's state-controlled Channel One TV says Castro "symbolised a whole era and was one of the most striking politicians in the world, irrespective of what one may think of his politics".
Russia's NTV says: "The longest Latin American soap opera has drawn to a close. And its main character, true to the laws of drama, left the stage undefeated."
Algerian State TV said Castro was "characterised by his humanity" and noted that his last TV appearance occurred during the Algerian prime minister's visit to Havana.
In Germany's Die Welt, Cuban migrant Carlos Alberto Montaner says Castro turned from "revolutionary to disillusionist... his dream remained to a large extent a dream".
Many media outlets in Western Europe are quick to point out that Castro was no hero. Spain's ABC calls him "a cheating tyrant," saying: "He served Marxism to impose a totalitarian regime that brought Cuba to the brink of economic collapse."
"With the tyrant's death, a historic chance arrives to take on a true political and economic U-turn," it concludes.
Italy's Corriere della Sera details the history of Cuba under Castro with the headline "from utopia to torture" .
Writing in Germany's Stern magazine, Conrad Schuhler describes the "death of an immortal" .
"He survived so many assassination attempts that he did not believe in his death any more. Now Fidel Castro - one of the last political dinosaurs of the Cold War - has died," Schuhler writes.
Palestinian author Murid al-Barghouthi tweets: "Goodbye Fidel Castro. He protected his revolution until the last day in his life. A small country managed to stand up to the biggest imperialist country."
Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera airs a video report saying: "Controversy over Castro will not end even after his death. He will be remembered forever as the leader who challenged America until the last day of his life."
Russia's state-run Rossiya 1 says: "A charismatic Fidel Castro... became a symbol of opposition to American imperialism... To his last days, Fidel Castro fought to make sure that even after his death, Cuba remained true to the ideals of social justice."
China's state-run Global Times says: "During and after the Cold War, the US waged wars against smaller and weaker countries in Latin America and in the rest of the world.
"It has toppled regimes in many countries, but not Cuba.... In the end, the Obama administration gave in, extended an olive branch and restored bilateral ties. This proves Castro to be an outstanding strategist."
The Miami Herald says that Castro's legacy had already faded before his passing.
"Few fired the hearts of the world's restless youth as Castro did when he was young, and few seemed so irrelevant as Castro when he was old — the last Communist, railing on the empty, decrepit street corner that Cuba became under his rule," it says.
"No one is sure if the force of the revolution will dissipate without Mr. Castro.," says the New York Times.
"But Fidel Castro's impact on Latin America and the Western Hemisphere has the earmarks of lasting indefinitely. The power of his personality remains inescapable, for better or worse."

Fire crews stopped the bonfire spreading to the apartment near Sandy Row but the building's windows cracked.
About 30 residents held a meeting on Wednesday to express their concerns.
Bonfires are traditionally lit in loyalist areas on 11 July, marking the Twelfth of July commemorations.
Politicians and representatives from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS), PSNI, Belfast City Council and Housing Executive also attended the meeting.
The Housing Executive, which owns the land where the bonfire was built said "further meetings" would take place to address residents' concerns.
"A number of key stakeholders and partner agencies also attended this evening's meeting, and we look forward to working together to achieve a positive outcome for residents as soon as possible".
The meeting came nearly a week on from a similar meeting held to discuss who will pay for repairs.
One resident told the BBC there was now a "plan of action" in place and meetings with residents to discuss making the bonfire safer in future years had been planned.
However she said the meeting did not resolve the matter of paying for repairs.
After criticism that he did not attend last week's meeting the DUP MLA for South Belfast Christopher Stalford told the BBC that he had not received an invitation to the meeting.
"I have a constituency office in Sandy Row, if any person who wishes to meet with me and I will make myself available," he added.
The BBC spoke to residents and politicians afterwards.
One female resident, who did not wish to be identified, said the meeting had been "productive".
"Everyone still seems confused over who is responsible for what. The fact that there is a lack of legislation as regards bonfires means we don't know who the buck stops with, so there is a lot of passing the buck going on.
"We do have a plan of action in place. The residents are going to be in touch with different governmental bodies, safety organisations and local groups to see what can be done to make the bonfire safer in future.
"Sandy Row is a great place to live and the Eleventh night can be a great, fun night but this year safety wasn't ensured," she added.
A male resident said: "Ultimately I think residents feel someone is now listening. Is there anything being done - no? Are we hopeful something could be done? Possibly.
"That in 2017 a building of this size nearly caught fire, because of a bonfire that was entirely predictable, is reprehensible.
"We aren't opposing the bonfire, just damage to our homes," he explained.
Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw described the meeting as "very useful".
"There were a good number of representatives from the main statutory agencies.
"The highlight of the meeting was that the Housing Executive have now realised what they have to do. They are going to look to see how they put in place a framework and process so they can deliver this into the future.
"This was an issue last year and the year before and the residents were concerned as to why it has taken so long to wake up," she added.
Green Party MLA for South Belfast Clare Bailey, agreed that it had been a good meeting.
"All the agencies finally presented themselves to come and talk to the residents. The residents are still feeling fearful and need to be reassured they are being listened to.
"The agencies were here, listening and they were offering to help.
"No-one has accepted liability yet and there have been no promises as regards fixing the damage but as far as I am aware there has been safety film put over the broken glass to avoid further damage".
Sinn Féin councillor Deirdre Hargey said she was "thankful" agencies had attended: "This meeting was long overdue.
"There is no clarity in terms of moving forward they did give a commitment that what happened cannot happen again next year.
"They have agreed to start engaging with residents."
SDLP MLA Claire Hanna said there was still "huge frustration" from residents.
"There is no silver bullet but there is a commitment by agencies and political representatives to work with the residents. We may not get rid of these activities but we can mitigate and protect their property.
"I don't blame the agencies - we need a legal framework for this. The agencies want some legal protection. There needs to be political leadership and a conjoined effort so each individual public body doesn't have to pick through the mire and deal with the flack themselves. "
The word "move" has been scratched into the bonnet of the Vauxhall Corsa, which is parked outside owner Peter Maddox's cottage in Arlington Row, Bibury.
Panels on the car have also been scratched and the driver's side window and rear windscreen have been smashed.
Mr Maddox could face a £6,000 repair bill, The Telegraph has reported.
However, the defiant 84-year-old said if the car was too expensive to repair, he would buy a replacement - in lime green.
His daughter-in-law, Marie Kraus, said: "Peter is understandably upset at the loss of his car and his independence, but he is also very fond of his lovely yellow car.
"Everyone in the village is very supportive. It is horrible to think whoever has done this has come out of their way down this little road to do something like this. It will be a struggle to get another car.
"It will leave Peter out of pocket."
In 2015, a photo of the car was posted by Lee McCallum on Twitter with the comment: "Picture postcard street photobombed by ugly little yellow car."
Afterwards, numerous visitors to the village took to Twitter claiming the car "ruins" the view and is a "shot spoiler".
Bibury, near Cirencester in Gloucestershire, was once described by William Morris as "the most beautiful village in England".
The National Trust-owned cottages of Arlington Row are featured on the inside cover of the British passport and are some of the most photographed dwellings in the country.
Police said the woman, armed with a suspected gun, stole money from the 20-year-old man in Great Victoria Street at about 03:00 BST on Thursday.
The suspect was in a blue Volkswagen Golf with two other men at the time and the gang escaped with a sum of cash.
Det Con Gareth Hussey said: "I would ask anyone with any information about this incident to contact detectives."
Paul Feig, who also directed Bridesmaids, confirmed the follow-up to the hit supernatural comedy in a tweet.
Feig wrote: "It's official. I'm making a new Ghostbusters & writing it with @katiedippold & yes, it will star hilarious women.
"That's who I'm gonna call."
There had been rumours about a third instalment to the movie franchise for a while.
As Paul Feig confirmed his involvement he also revealed he is working with Parks And Recreation writer Katie Dippold on a script.
The original Ghostbusters in 1984, directed and produced by Ivan Reitman, was a commercial success which earned nearly $300m (£385m) at the box office.
The sequel movie, Ghostbusters 2 in 1989 wasn't quite as well received with mixed reviews and taking $215m (£132m).
Paul Feig was the favourite to take-over directing the movie franchise since Ivan Reitman - who directed the first two Ghostbusters films - decided in March that he would not be involved.
The first movie starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.
They played three unemployed parapsychology professors who start a ghost removal service and end up having to save the world from an ancient god.
Harold Ramis whose character was Dr Egon Spengler in the supernatural comedy, died in February at the age of 69.
Dan Aykroyd, who starred as Dr Raymond Stantz is expected to be a producer on the new film.
Whilst Murray, who played Dr Peter Venkman in the original, gave his backing to the idea of an all-female update to the series.
He told the Toronto Star last month: "I'm fine with it. I would go to that movie, and they'd probably have better outfits too."
Murray tipped Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig - who worked with director Feig on Bridesmaids - The Amazing Spider-Man's Emma Stone and Linda Cardellini from Freaks And Geeks as possible stars.
On Newsbeat's Facebook page, Andy Toogood said: "All female cast? Why? Ruining a classic."
Lee Bateman commented: "Anna Kendrick, Alexandra Daddario and Emma stone are names I put forward.
"I really really really hope Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd make some sort of appearance." He added.
Jonross Swaby said: "I can see Sarah Silverman in this role."
"Jennifer Anderson" was the suggestion Bernadette Pritchard made on Newsbeat's Facebook.

The bodies were discovered in Dawson Avenue, Spalding, at about 12:15 BST on Friday. Their identities are yet to be released.
Two people arrested on Friday in connection with the deaths remain in police custody for questioning.
Lincolnshire Police said they believed it was an "isolated incident".
The force appealed for anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area on Friday to come forward.
Supt Paul Timmins said: "I would like to make clear that this type of crime is extremely rare and not something we often see.
"There is still a lot of police activity in the area and extra officers in the neighbourhood and I would encourage anyone who has any concerns to please talk to our officers."
The ceremonial lighting will take place in Windsor on the evening of 21 April.
The event will follow a royal walkabout in the town.
Later, members of the Army cadet force will take beacons to the top of the highest peaks of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Some of the beacons will be specially built gas-fuelled structures. Others will be traditional bonfires, or braziers on top of tall wooden posts.
They will be taken by cadets to the summits of Ben Nevis, Mount Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Slieve Donard.
The Queen will be accompanied at the beacon lighting by the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
Royal jubilees, coronations and birthdays have often been celebrated with the lighting of beacons.
The last such occasion was in 2012 for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Before the walkabout, the Queen will unveil a plaque for the Queen's Walkway - a four-mile walking trail connecting 63 "points of significance" in Windsor, the palace said.
The walkway was designed by the Outdoor Trust in recognition of the moment on 9 September last year when the Queen became Britain's longest reigning monarch, after more than 63 years on the throne.
The Queen's birthday celebrations also include the Patron's Lunch - a street party on The Mall in London on 12 June for charities of which the Queen is patron.
Tickets for the not-for-profit event were priced at £150 each.
They face having to make £200m of cuts between October and April, equivalent to 4% of all departmental budgets.
While a paper by Finance Minster Simon Hamilton was circulated, it was not formally tabled for discussion and no decisions were taken.
Justice Minister David Ford said there had been "an unwillingness to have a serious, meaningful discussion".
"In the face of difficult spending issues, intransigence on the streets that is causing difficulties for the community, and intransigence around economics at the executive table, we have simply failed to live up to the responsibilities that the people of Northern Ireland gave the executive parties as a whole," the Alliance Party leader said.
"Unless the executive gets agreement, then we have difficult problems and there seems to be no sense of understanding as to where we are."
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy said there was a "general discussion but not a formal one".
"It's now clear that irrespective of what is happening to other parties internally, that shouldn't impact on the good government of Northern Ireland and we need to deal with these financial issues as quickly as possible," the Ulster Unionist assembly member said.
Mr Hamilton has been stressing the need to find £200m in savings during this financial year.
That includes nearly £90m in fines imposed by the Treasury because of Stormont's delay in implementing welfare reforms.
The Northern Ireland Executive's financial pressures are estimated to be increasing at a rate of £5m per week.
While DUP ministers said they believe the budget shortfall must be addressed urgently in order to avoid breaching Treasury spending limits, Sinn Féin ministers have continued to resist paying any Treasury fines.
Their party has argued that the welfare changes should be subject to further negotiation with Westminster.
The first half was particularly drab. For the home side, Morgan Ferrier was denied by Nathan Baxter, while at the other end, George Carline had a shot blocked.
In the second period, Harry White nearly scored for Solihull at his old stomping ground, but Grant Smith blocked superbly to deny him.
The Moors took the initiative as the match wore on.
Omari Sterling-James went close when he hit the side-netting, and White struck just over late on as the home side held on for a point.

Gatwick Airport said it was trying to minimise the impact of aircraft noise.
Ian Hare, from Pulborough Against Gatwick Noise and Emissions, said: "It goes in fits and starts, when we have an easterly wind then we have a very intense and persistent flow of aircraft overhead."
He said in the nine minutes following 0600 BST, there were six flights going over him at between 4,500 and 6,000 feet.
"It's the continuous droning noise which makes it a bit like a motorway in the skies above us," he added.
A Gatwick spokeswoman said the airport was receptive to feedback on all aspects of its operations.
"It is absolutely the right approach for all concerned to work together to agree ways to minimise the impact of aircraft noise," she said.
"We have been doing this for some time at Gatwick but welcome discussions on how this process can be improved."
A spokeswoman for the Civil Aviation Authority said it had "consistently challenged" the industry to be more ambitious in tackling aviation's environmental impacts.
Intan Olivia Marbun was severely burned after an attacker threw petrol bombs at a group of small children playing outside the church on Sunday.
Three other children were injured.
Police arrested a suspect after he was captured by local people following the attack.
The attacker has been identified as a militant linked to local extremists supporting the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.
"The man passed by the church and threw what we suspected was low-explosive cocktail bombs, causing light injuries to four children who were playing there," local police spokesman Fajar Setiawan told the AFP news agency.
Police say the attacker was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word "jihad", the agency adds.
"Marbun suffered extensive burn injuries and respiratory problems and doctors could not save her," Mr Setiawan said.
The other children suffered "less serious injuries and were still being treated in hospital" but would likely be discharged soon, according to Reuters, which quoted a hospital spokesman.
Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population and is home to significant numbers of Christians, Hindus and Buddhists.
The country has suffered a series of attacks inspired by the IS militant group in recent times.
Adeyemi, 24, spent last season with Leeds United on a similar deal where he scored two goals in 24 games.
The ex-Norwich trainee joined the Bluebirds on a free transfer from Birmingham in August 2014 but has made just 23 appearances, scoring once.
"He's got real good energy and athleticism," boss Alan Stubbs told the club website.
Meanwhile, midfielder Chris Dawson, 21, has joined Norwegian side Viking FK on loan until January with an option of a permanent move.

In just five hours he amassed more than 20,000 followers, with more joining in.
His first post read: "Hello China! Looking forward to interacting with Chinese friends through Weibo."
Mr Modi, set to visit China this month, got mostly welcoming responses. But posts calling for India to return territory to China were also popular.
Here are some of the themes that excited and exercised his new Chinese audience in the few hours his account has been in existence.
Thousands posted welcoming messages for Mr Modi. Some invited him to visit their home provinces in China, while others expressed hope of greater Sino-Indian co-operation.
"China and India are the countries that have the biggest influence in Asia and are fast developing nations. There is no reason why we can't advance together," wrote one user.
Others took the opportunity to respond in English using the literal translation of the Chinese greeting "ni hao ma", which means "how are you?" and sometimes came out as "Are you OK?"
A number of Weibo users also called him "ah san" or "san ge".
These are derivations of an old colloquial term for Indians - "hong tou ah san" - which some consider racist or derogatory these days, says BBC Chinese's Martin Yip in Hong Kong.
Mr Modi's second post referenced Buddhism and unity in Asia. India celebrates Buddha's birthday on 4 May.
"I wish everyone happiness on Buddha's Birthday. Today we remember Buddha's ideals and commands, he preached the ideals of harmony and brotherhood and had a vision of a peaceful world. Buddhism is a unifying force across Asian countries. It can be one form of strong cohesion as the world enters the Asian era," he said.
There are believed to be many adherents to Buddhism in China, and an estimated 18% of China's population are Buddhist.
Mr Modi did not reference the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, who has made his home in the Indian town of Dharamsala.
The most popular responses (which garnered the most number of "likes") were on an area under Indian control referred to as South Tibet, called Zangnan in China, and located in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
The top five replies to Mr Modi all called for India to give back the territory, which was ceded to India in 1962 following a border conflict.
"Zangnan belongs to China", and "Welcome, welcome! By the way, Zangnan is ours," were among the responses.
Mr Modi's countrymen were also intrigued, with some Indians asking on Twitter if he was going to pick up a new language.
Mr Modi joins a growing list of international figures and celebrities, such as David Cameron and Ellen Degeneres, who have signed up for Weibo to connect with a Chinese audience.
Mr Modi is known to be an avid social media user, and has 12 million followers on Twitter alone.
Nearly five million self-employed people, company directors and those with more than one source of income may have to pay tax by 31 July.
The major filing deadline for those in the self-assessment system is 31 January.
However, those who make payments on account face a deadline on Monday.
Paul Haywood-Schiefer, of accountants Blick Rothenberg, said: "Individuals completing annual tax returns within the self-assessment regime and making payments on account should be making a payment.
"Typically self-employed traders, those with rental income and those with large amounts of investment income are included in this group, which paid over £6.6bn to the Revenue in July last year."
Payments on account are based on the previous tax year's income tax liability, assuming that this will not change.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, head of taxation at the accountancy association, the ACCA, said that summer getaways often led to people forgetting about the deadline - but such a mistake could lead to a fine of 5% of the tax owed.
"Ignorance and naivety are no excuse when it comes to tax filing," he said.
"Many holidaymakers have probably been more focused on exchange rates and how to afford those extra holiday treats.
"However, this [tax payment] is not something that can be left until you come back from your summer break, or even leaving it until the last minute and trying to do it yourself. The consequences of not paying on time or paying the wrong amount are high."

The 25-year-old former Everton Ladies forward is the first English player to join the Catalan club since Gary Lineker's move to the Nou Camp in 1986.
Duggan has scored 15 goals in 47 senior appearances for England and is part of their squad for Women's Euro 2017.
BBC Sport understands no transfer fee was exchanged, as Duggan's contract had been set to expire in November 2017.
After arriving from Everton in November 2013, Duggan helped City win the Women's Super League One title for the first time in 2016 and was part of the squad that won this year's Women's FA Cup.
She was also part of the England side that finished third in the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada.

"FC Barcelona are known all over the world for playing attractive football and I naturally wanted to be part of that," Duggan said. "I think my style of play will suit the team and I'm honoured to be part of the club.
"My new coach Fran Sanchez has told me that their ambition is to win the Women's Champions League and the club have made that very clear with their signings over the years.
"I've had a lot of success in England and I've really enjoyed my time with Manchester City but I wanted to challenge myself even further by playing abroad. I'm also looking forward to learning Spanish and living in the city."
Like City, Barcelona reached the Women's Champions League semi-finals for the first time in their history in 2016-17, and finished second in the Spanish top flight last term.
They have increased their investment in women's football markedly in recent years, re-signing Spain midfielder Vicky Losada from Arsenal in November.
Barcelona are in talks with the American National Women's Soccer League about entering a team for 2018, having opened a permanent office in New York in September.

The NWSL has never previously included a European side but is fully professional, in contrast to the Spanish top tier, which includes some semi-professional sides.
Duggan scored four goals in four league appearances in the 2017 Spring Series and a fine individual goal in the Women's Champions League.
The Liverpool-born striker will become the only member of the current England Women squad to be based abroad.
In total, she scored 31 goals in 74 appearances for Manchester City.
NHS England said ambulances heading to Medway Maritime Hospital will be diverted to others in Kent on Wednesday and Thursday morning.
This is to allow "breathing space" for the department and extra training.
An NHS spokesman said: "Ensuring the delivery of safe care to patients... is our absolute priority."
Between 07:00 and 12:00 BST ambulances will be sent to either Maidstone Hospital, Darent Valley Hospital, in Dartford, or the Kent and Canterbury Hospital.
However, some will continue to be sent to the Medway Maritime, in Gillingham, if the problem is either paediatric, cardiac or maternity related.
The decision was made after the latest Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection found the hospital could not cope with the number of patients during its busiest periods.
It was already in special measures after being rated inadequate in July 2013.
In a weekly message to staff, chief executive of Medway NHS Foundation Trust Lesley Dwyer said "simple and basic things" were not happening.
She also said: "The final CQC report will not be available for some weeks and this should not be a reason to 'wait' or 'stand still' - there is a lot to be done."
An NHS spokesman said: "Following a recent inspection of Medway Foundation Trust by the CQC the trust has asked for support from across the local healthcare system to help them in making the improvements needed."
Throughout Monday and most of Tuesday, the personal banking site was not allowing customers to log on, while business accounts were running slowly.
HSBC said business and personal customers had been able to log on since Tuesday evening.
In a video posted on Twitter, the bank's chief operating officer, John Hackett, again apologised to customers.
"We continue to monitor the service very closely, and are ready to respond should any issues arise, but all the evidence is positive," he said.
But the bank, which has 17 million customers, has still not given a precise explanation as to what went wrong.
It blamed the problem on a complex technical issue within its banking and mobile systems.
Mr Hackett said that no one's personal data was put at risk during the failure, and that all customers would be compensated for losses caused by it.
The chair of the Treasury Select Committee, Andrew Tyrie, promised to grill HSBC's chief executive on why such failures keep occurring.
HSBC was hit by a previous IT glitch in August 2015, which prevented 275,000 payments going through just ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend.

Cavendish, 26, recorded the 20th Tour de France stage win of his career on Sunday to become the first British winner of the prestigious green jersey.
"The UK needs to understand we have one of the greatest of all time," Millar told BBC Sport's Matt Slater.
"At the moment, he's the UK's greatest athlete. He is probably the greatest sprinter in the history of cycling."
Millar, who finished 76th overall riding for Garmin-Cervelo, added: "It's sad that it's not appreciated to the degree it should be. In France, Belgium and Italy, he is like David Beckham."

Cavendish, who rides for the HTC Highroad team, is now joint sixth on the all-time list of stage winners and has won at least four stages in each of the last four years.
Belgian Eddie Merckx holds the record of stage wins with 34 but Cavendish is being tipped to overhaul the tally of the five-time Tour winner by Sean Kelly, who won the green jersey, awarded to the Tour's best sprinter, four times in the 1980s.
"It's incredible in such a short number of starts in the Tour de France to have 20 stage wins," Irishman Kelly commented.
"It's a huge record he has chalked up already. Going forward he should be able to match Merckx's record.
"He has time on his side, he's still very young and, if he's in a team doing what HTC have done this year, there's no reason he can't win three or four stages every year."
Eddy Merckx (Bel) 34
Bernard Hinault (Fr) 28
Andre Leducq (Fr) 25
Lance Armstrong (US) 22
Andre Darrigade (Fr) 22
Nicolas Frantz (Lux) 20
Mark Cavendish (GB) 20
*individual stage wins
Cavendish, whose next big target is September's World Championships in Denmark, has said he is not concentrating on matching Merckx's haul.
"I'll just keep trying to win as many as possible," the Manxman stated. "There's not a number I'd like to win.
"Catching him [Merckx] is not an objective. I'd like to come back and consistently win at the Tour de France."
Cavendish has been linked with a move to Team Sky but was full of praise for his current team-mates after his latest victory.
Lead-out men Matt Goss and Mark Renshaw peeled off at the front with 160m to go to leave Cavendish to accelerate to the line ahead of Team Sky's Edvald Boasson Hagen.
"It's an incredible group of guys," Cavendish reflected. "They got me through this Tour and won me the green jersey."
The overall race was won by Australian Cadel Evans. The BMC rider finished 94 seconds ahead of Luxembourg's Andy Schleck, whose brother and Leopard Trek team-mate Frank was third.
Spain's Alberto Contador, who won the event in 2007, 2009 and 2010, was fifth, almost four minutes adrift of Evans.
Evans said that he "couldn't be any happier" with his win, having finished runner-up in 2007 and 2008.
"What can I say? I've been dreaming of winning the Tour de France for the past 20 years, ever since I was a 14-year-old," he said.
"I went through some difficult periods. For two years I was really unlucky coming so close to winning but maybe it's just made it all that more special now.
"A few people always believed in me. I always believed in me. And we did it.
"To be here wearing the yellow jersey for my team, my country, a group of people around me... it leaves me a little lost for words."
Evans only won the fourth of 21 stages, but always remained within striking distance.
He becomes the first Australian - and at 34 the oldest rider since World War II - to win the Tour de France.
After being 6-3 up at half-time, a Luke McGrath try extended Leinster's lead only for Tom Brown to quickly reply.
Josh van der Flier was gifted a try by Sean Kennedy before a Fergus McFadden score extended Leinster's lead to 25-8.
Ian Madigan's mistake allowed Mike Allen to reply but after McFadden scored his second try, Kennedy's score left Leinster hanging on.
Edinburgh lost centres Chris Dean and Phil Burleigh to injuries at half-time and, despite having to play several players out of position in the second period, fought back impressively to earn a losing bonus point.
Indeed, the visitors went in search of a converted try in the closing stages and Leinster wing McFadden looked fortunate to avoid at least a yellow card for a high tackle on Edinburgh's Damien Hoyland.
Leinster unsuccessfully attempted to bludgeon their way through a dogged Edinburgh defence in the first half and only had two Madigan penalties to show for their efforts, with Tovey scoring at the other end.
A brilliant Luke Fitzgerald break set up McGrath's 43rd-minute score but Tovey's superb looping pass set up Brown to reply in the corner within two minutes.
However, Tovey's missed touch from a penalty on the Leinster 10-metre line and Kennedy's woeful pass gifted Leinster a try almost immediately as Van der Flier ran in unopposed.
McFadden finished off a period of Leinster pressure to extend the lead to 25-8 in the 58th minute but Madigan then gift-wrapped a try to Edinburgh as former Ulster wing Allen read the Ireland fly-half's inside pass.
A second McFadden try on 63 left Leinster 30-15 ahead but Edinburgh dominated thereafter with Kennedy scoring on 70 before Sam Hidalgo-Clyne's penalty left only seven points between the teams with five minutes left.
Leinster's win moves them five points clear of Connacht in the table while Edinburgh edge above Munster into the sixth spot, which would be enough to secure a European Champions Cup place.

At seven, some 20% of Indian children are tutored but only 3% of white children, according to research on 19,000 pupils born in 2000 and 2001.
Ethnic minority children also spend longer on homework, the study suggests.
Academics will present the findings to the British Educational Research Association conference in Belfast.
Researchers from Newcastle University and the NatCen social research institute analysed data on children included in the Millennium Cohort Study.
Children of self-employed parents were the most likely to receive private tuition aged seven, with 7% having extra help in at least one subject.
By the age of 11, some 22% of children were receiving help from private tutors - but again there were differences along ethnic lines:
Extra tuition also broke down according to background:
Most 11-year-olds spent one to two hours a week on homework.
Some spent five hours or more, but again this varied on ethnic lines:
Prof Liz Todd, of Newcastle University, said: "Does this mean some parents are lacking confidence in what goes on during school hours or are they just more likely to see tuition as a worthwhile route to help their children succeed?"
The next step should be to look at gains in pupil attainment across groups "and ask to what extent these are due to changes in teaching, school reforms or the provision of tuition at home", she said.
Members of the Communication Workers Union and Unite began their 24-hour walkout at 03:00 GMT on Monday.
It is the second strike in two months and unions said there could be further industrial action before Christmas.
The latest strike affects larger branches, but the Post Office said most of its network would not close.
The two unions estimated that more than 3,000 workers would take part in Monday's strike across 300 branches - although the final turnout has not been confirmed.
The Post Office said about 80 of its branches had been forced to close.
The action is focused on Crown Post Offices - which are the larger branches usually located in high streets - and workers are also holding a rally at Post Office Headquarters in central London.
Speaking at the rally, Brian Scott, Unite union officer for the Post Office, said members would not be afraid to walk out again if needed.
He told the BBC: "We are hoping the Post Office sees sense and gets around the table, but they can't reject everything we put forward.
"It may well be that there has to be other action in the run-up to Christmas, but we are willing to talk."
Crown Post Office, administration and supply chain workers are involved in the dispute about the closure of the final salary pension scheme, job losses and the franchising of Crown Post Offices.
In April 2016, the Post Office announced plans to transfer up to 61 branches into WH Smith stores over the following year.
It said the move was part of a 10-year plan to cut costs and save cash, and would act as a way of "safeguarding the future of the network."
But the CWU said it faced up to 2,000 job losses as a result and it would lead to the closure of its pension scheme.
In August, over half of the union's 3,500 members voted in a strike ballot, with 83% backing the plans.
The first 24-hour walk-out took place on 15 September and the second on 31 October.
Communication Workers Union general secretary Dave Ward said: "We have had great support from our members and the public on today's strike.
"We are now calling upon the government and the company to bring all stake holders together to thrash out a new future for the Post Office that is more than a glorified closure programme."
The Post Office said moving post office services into retail outlets means longer opening hours.
Speaking before the strike, Kevin Gilliland, the Post Office's network and sales director, said: "The Post Office wants to reach a constructive way forward through talking with our unions.
"More than 99% of people in the UK live within three miles of a Post Office branch, but we must make changes to safeguard that level of service for future generations.
"The Post Office is committed to keeping its branches at the heart of communities. But we must also respond to changing customer needs."
The Ibrox side took a 1-0 first-leg lead to Luxembourg but fell behind to a second-half Emmanuel Francoise finish.
Sebastian Thill sealed progress, scoring only the third European goal in the minnows' history to secure their first ever win in Europe.
Niko Kranjcar, Josh Windass and Kenny Miller hit the woodwork for Rangers.
But the Ibrox men had failed to dominate the game the way they had in the first leg, ensuring their first foray into Europe for six years was short-lived as they went out in the first qualifier.
Boss Pedro Caixinha brought Daniel Candeias, Alfredo Morelos and Jordan Rossiter into his starting line-up as he looked for more of a cutting edge in the second leg.
The visitors had the bulk of the early possession but again lacked the final pass that could punish Progres.
Miller had a shot blocked following a Kranjcar corner but it was all too untidy in the last third.
That seemed to give the hosts the confidence they had lacked in the first half at Ibrox, with Olivier Thill curling a long-range free-kick narrowly wide with goalkeeper Wes Foderingham struggling to get across.
Miller was inches away from connecting with a Lee Wallace cross but it was at the other end where the chances started to come.
Mike Schneider hit one over the bar when in a good position before the home side came very close. Olivier Thill drove forward and fired a long-range shot that had Foderingham beaten but slid just wide.
The second half started with Progres going even closer, this time Francoise bursting clear on the right and drilling a low effort towards the corner that Foderingham saved brilliantly.
As the second half wore on the home side looked the more threatening, with a few nerves evident in the visiting defence.
Home keeper Sebastian Flauss had gone off injured in the first half but Rangers failed to test stand-in Charly Schinker until after the hour, when Ryan Jack's close-range header was directed straight at him.
Moments later Caixinha's side almost grabbed a crucial away goal as Wallace sent in a cross that Kranjcar headed off the bar.
Then came the opener for Progres as Olivier Thill crossed for Francoise to finish at the near post.
The second arrived soon after as Sebastian Thill curled a free-kick into the box that evaded everyone and crept in at the back post.
Rangers rallied in the closing minutes with Windass' diving header coming back off the bar before Miller, in stoppage time, lobbed an effort off the face of the bar.
There was no way through though, and the visitors slumped to a shocking result.
BBC Scotland senior football reporter Chris McLaughlin
"For the Rangers fans it's humiliating. For the players, humbling, and when the dust settles on what some are calling the worst result in the club's history there will be huge questions to answer for the Rangers board and manager Pedro Caixinha.
"Where some saw the appointment of the Portuguese last year as a gamble, the Ibrox board believed it to be progressive. They had patience in their man despite a poor start to his managerial career in Scotland. They backed him with significant funds to rebuild and get Rangers back to where they wanted to be. And where they wanted to be was the group stages of the Europa League.
"Now that has gone, they must count the cost. Caixinha's squad may well improve and they may even go on to close the gap on Celtic in the season ahead, but falling at the first hurdle in Europe is a massive blow financially and psychologically.
"Chairman Dave King has continually pointed to funds gained through European football as being key to them closing the gap on their rivals and now that badly needed revenue stream has gone before the season has even started. Only those providing the loans will know the true cost and implications of that.
"It's not the only thing being cut unexpectedly though. The window of goodwill for the new manager has just been slashed drastically. Caixinha needs a blistering start to the season or he and his new recruits could be under serious pressure."
The locals of Halji village in Humla district of western Nepal practise the Drikung Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, which has an 11th-Century monastery at its heart.
They are very worried that the Rinchenling monastery - one of the oldest in Nepal and highly revered in Tibet - could be swept away or damaged by floods and mudslides caused by the outburst of a glacial lake on the mountain overlooking their village.
For the past five years, Halji has been hit by glacial lake floods almost every summer and the last one, nearly two months ago, damaged two houses and swept away four horses.
Several crop fields were washed away and many remain covered with sands, rendering them barren for many years to come.
Villagers say the historic monastery now stands only around 15m away from the river bank that has been eroded by flood waters.
They fear the next time the Tak Tsho lake bursts like it did this year, it may hit the 1,000 year-old sacred site.
"It is our identity," said Kojuk Objang Tamang, the head of Halji village. "We cannot even imagine about our community without the monastery which is the base of our religious culture," he told the BBC.
So strong is the community's belief in the monastery that they are convinced that it has saved them from the floods and mudslides so far.
"It is because of the blessings of the monastery that the village is hit by floods at day time only and so there is no loss of human lives because we can run to safety during daylight," said Mr Tamang. "Had it happened in the night when we were asleep, God knows how many of us would have been dead by now.
Astrid Hovden of the University of Oslo, who has been conducting her PhD research in Halji, has witnessed how central the monastery is to the community of around 100 households.
"At the night of the flood (last June), after the water level in the river started to get back to normal, the monks performed an elaborate ritual in the monastery to pray for the safety of their village.
"Since the villagers became aware of the problem, they have invited important lamas (priests) from outside to perform rituals to protect their village."
Prayers apart, the villagers have also done whatever they could to save the monastery and their settlement.
Although almost all of them are uneducated, they have knocked on the doors of the prime minister's office in the capital Kathmandu, the local authority and the national planning commission.
Those efforts had secured some funding, which they used to build defences using rocks and gabion wires to tame the flood waters.
"Every family in our village worked free of cost for the construction of those infrastructures," says Tamang.
But villagers say that every year, the floods and mudslides hurtling down from the glacial lake - at a height of around 5,300m on the Gurla Mandhata mountain - become increasingly dangerous.
"Our effort to save the village is proving to be no match for the force of the floods," said Mangal Lama, a social worker from the region.
Mr Lama and other locals said they hiked up to the area where the Tak Tsho lake is located and found that it is hidden behind a hanging glacier.
"We saw huge cracks on the glacier, and that explained why we used to hear big sounds around the same time in June every year before we were hit by floods.
"Apparently, it appears that the huge pieces of ice sheet from the cracked parts of the glacier might have fallen into the glacial lake which then overflowed, causing floods and mudslides downstream."
Some scientists say climate change has accelerated glacial meltdown in the Himalayas, creating many new glacial lakes and filling up existing ones to dangerous levels.
Most of the 4,000 or so glaciers and their lakes in the Nepalese Himalayas are not monitored, like the one above Halji in Humla district.
Nepal's National Adaptation Programme of Action, prepared under the United Nations climate convention, has rated the district's vulnerability to glacial lake outburst flood as "very low" - something which has been disputed.
Mr Lama said some villagers are so frustrated that they are considering going to Tibet across the border to become refugees.
"It takes five days walk to reach the nearest local authority of Nepal while Taklakot (the nearest Tibetan market) is only 12 hours away and moreover the villagers speak the Tibetan language and follow all traditions of Tibet."
Locals say they cannot move the monastery and their settlement to a safe place.
"The moment we move the monastery, its religious and historic value will drop to zero," says Tamang. "And that, in turn, means our century-old intact religious and cultural community will break and it will all be over."
Robert Lighthizer will become America's chief trade negotiator, tasked with reducing the US trade deficits which Mr Trump criticised during his campaign.
Mr Lighthizer, who served under President Ronald Reagan, will "fight for good trade deals that put the American worker first", Mr Trump said.
He is considered to have deep roots with the Republican establishment.
He is known as an advocate for greater trade protection, and an expert in trade law who worked under Mr Reagan in the 1980s as deputy US trade representative to block cheap Japanese imports of steel and vehicles.
"He will do an amazing job helping turn around the failed trade policies which have robbed so many Americans of prosperity," Mr Trump said in a statement.
The people around the president-elect
"I am fully committed to President-elect Trump's mission to level the playing field for American workers and forge better trade policies which will benefit all Americans," Mr Lighthizer responded.
He has been supportive of Mr Trump's defensive approach to trade with China since at least 2011 when he praised his possible presidential candidacy in an op-ed.
Like Mr Trump, he has opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership pact and has called for tariffs on Chinese imports to the US.
Under Mr Trump, he will work closely on trade issues with Wilbur Ross, who has been picked for commerce secretary, and Peter Navarro, a vocal China hawk who has been tapped to lead the new White House National Trade Council.
A petition for an inquiry has amassed nearly 12,000 signatures, enough for the government to have to respond.
Concerns surround a system on the northbound carriageway that triggers a series of traffic signals and barriers for restricted vehicles.
The scheme was introduced in response to the 2014 Dart Charge scheme, where crossing tolls are paid online.
While southbound vehicles cross via the Queen Elizabeth II bridge, northbound vehicles travelling from Kent to Essex use the Dartford Tunnel.
The latest delays came as one side of the tunnel was closed for scheduled roadworks in the early hours.
Drivers were stuck on the Kent side for up to five hours, while two lanes out of four closed until 05:20 BST.
Haulier Alan Pattison, who is behind the petition, said the removal of toll booths under the Dart Charge scheme in favour of online or phone payments has improved the southbound crossing but made the northbound journey "abysmal".
He said: "It's so much worse, I don't know what they've done.
"If you've been through [the crossing] you know how many sets of lights there are.
"If there's the slightest incident, the dealing with it is so slow... it's a general accumulation of all things."
Mr Pattison said his company, AP Ashdown Ltd, which is based in Essex, can be fined if a lorry misses a delivery slot.
He said: "This year alone we're looking at £4-5,000 worth of losses due to traffic disruption."
Highways England denied the changes had caused problems, adding the removal of tool booths had saved motorists "six minutes" on average.
A spokesman said: "Dartford is successfully speeding up journeys, saving motorists an average of about six minutes.
"The government will respond to the petition in due course."
The 44-year-old leaves the Saddlers fourth in League One, after nearly five years in charge, and will succeed Dutchman Marinus Dijkhuizen.
"We believe Dean is exactly the authentic and strong leader we need to take Brentford forward," co-director Rasmus Ankersen said.
Smith's assistant Richard O'Kelly will also join the Bees, who have paid compensation for the pair.
Dijkhuizen was sacked on 28 September after just eight matches in charge.
Lee Carsley has since been in interim charge, and takes Monday's game at Bolton, but he will leave the club at the end of next month.
"We have been hugely impressed by Dean's work at Walsall and especially how he has managed to turn a club with such a low budget into one pushing for promotion," added Ankersen.
"It is a similar challenge to the one Brentford face. We can't win by spending more money than our competitors so we have to identify competitive edges which will allow us to compete with clubs who enjoy much bigger budgets.
"In that respect Dean is a great fit to Brentford FC."
John Ward, Jon Whitney and Neil Cutler have been put in temporary charge of Walsall.
A former centre-back, Smith made 166 appearances for Walsall before going on to play for Sheffield Wednesday, Leyton Orient, Hereford and Port Vale.
He took over as Walsall boss when Chris Hutchings was sacked in January 2011, and last season he led the Saddlers to their first-ever appearance at Wembley, where they were beaten by Bristol City in the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Last month the League One club rejected an approach from Rotherham, who wanted to speak to him about their manager's job.
Smith signed a new one-year rolling contract the following week but was targeted by Brentford after their talks with Swansea assistant manager Pep Clotet stalled.
Walsall chairman Jeff Bonser said: "We categorically did not want him to leave this football club and did all we could to keep him at the helm. "
Zdenek Makar, 31, from the Czech Republic, died near All Saints DLR station in Poplar on Wednesday night.
The Met said it was believed he had been followed and attacked after an altercation inside Perfect Fried Chicken in East India Dock Road.
Two men, aged 19 and 29, have also been arrested on suspicion of murder.
A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Makar died from head injuries.
Woodside Wildlife Park said: "It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing away of Tango the tiger."
The park asked people to share their memories and photographs of Tango, who was moved to Lincolnshire in 2014 after being rescued from a German circus.
Tango and his partner were saved hours before they were due to be put down.
On his 20th birthday, Tango was given a cardboard birthday cake filled with meat to celebrate his milestone.
Speaking at the time, Ben Pascoe, head keeper at the park, said: "He's the equivalent of about an 80-year-old man and I don't know of any 80-year-old men that are still running about."
Tigers usually live to about 16, and occasionally into their late teens, he said.

"Even the national team coach Herve Renard tried to persuade me to choose France," Azaro said at his unveiling on Thursday.
"I know that Mohamed Aboutrika was one of the club's best ever players and I hope that I can emulate him."
"I can assure the Al Ahly fans that I am happy to be here and that I will do my best to help the club to more titles.
Azaro becomes the first Moroccan international to move to Egypt since Abdessalam Benjelloun spent a season at Ismaili in 2010.
Moroccan under-23 player Omar Najdi spent two stints with Misr Lel-Makkasa firstly for a season from 2011 and again between 2014 and 2016.
John Paul O'Rourke from Glengrainne Gardens in Park stabbed his victim three times in the back with a kitchen knife.
The man suffered life threatening injuries after what was described in court as "an alcohol fuelled house brawl".
The judge told the defendant that his actions were cowardly.
O'Rourke also kicked his 45-year-old victim three times to the head and head butted him.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent following incidents which occurred inside and outside a house at Summer Meadows in the Waterside in the early hours of 20 July 2014.
Londonderry Crown Court was told that the victim sustained two punctured lungs and that he would have died if he had not received immediate treatment at Altnagelvin Hospital.
Both men had what the judge described as "a great deal of alcohol" before going to a house at Summer Meadows in the city where a fight broke out.
The police found the victim lying outside the house in a pool of blood, the court heard.
The court was also told that O'Rourke had shouted "I will cut his throat from ear to ear" before he stabbed the victim.
When arrested, O'Rourke told the police he had no memory of stabbing and head butting his victim and denied kicking the victim on the head.
He told the police that the victim had threatened members of his family.
The Judge told O'Rourke that the threats did not justify his subsequent violent behaviour.
Second-row Markham, 24, is leaving for France after four seasons with the islanders to join Stade Rouennais.
Prop Herriott, 23, is moving to fellow Championship side Rotherham.
Meanwhile, hooker Martin Garcia-Veiga, 29, will return to his native Argentina, and back Aaron Penberthy is undecided if he wants to stay.
The 23-year-old told BBC Radio Jersey: "I'm not too sure what I want to do. This season hasn't been my greatest in terms of game-time, so I need to think about what's best for me.
"I'm pretty sure we'll find out what's happening in the next few weeks. I've been through a lot at Jersey and we'll see what happens in the next few weeks."
Herriott confirmed he would be moving back to England to join a side four places below sixth-placed Jersey in the second tier for family reasons.
"I'm going to Rotherham because my girlfriend is pregnant, otherwise it would have been a nice place to stay," he said.
Jersey finished the season with a 34-0 home defeat by Yorkshire Carnegie, the first time this millennium that Jersey have failed to score in a home league game.

His comments come after UKIP's only MP, Douglas Carswell, said the party needed a fresh face at the top.
Mr Crowther said Mr Carswell was an "independent thinker" who was "musing aloud" but it was "absolutely wrong" to suggest Mr Farage had peaked.
He said UKIP's ruling executive committee would want to talk to Mr Carswell when it met in January.
Clacton MP and Conservative defector Mr Carswell told the BBC on Friday that the party needed to "change gear and to change its management if it's to go the next level".
He did not mention Mr Farage but said "no party is defined by any one person."
Mr Farage responded to his comments by saying he should "put up or shut up" and called for him to "stop sowing division".
Despite the party gaining nearly four million votes across the UK in the 2015 general election, Mr Carswell was UKIP's only winning candidate.
Mr Farage failed to get elected in Thanet, after which he briefly resigned.
His party won control of Thanet District Council - the first authority in the UK to have a UKIP majority - but they have since lost overall control.
Mr Crowther told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that political life was not "without its speed bumps".
"We are continuing to progress. We took control of the council, we had four million votes in the general election, and our poll ratings are holding up."
The party chairman said a recent survey among UKIP voters put Mr Farage's satisfaction ratings at 93%.
He also said there was a "time and a place" to have discussions about the leadership of the party but on the eve on an EU summit and the BBC was neither of those.
"All political parties have conversations about how it's going," he said. "But these are things that ought to be held within the party."
TheProtect Intellectual Property Act(Pipa) is the parallel bill being considered by the Senate.
The proposed legislation is designed to tackle online piracy, with particular emphasis on illegal copies of films and other forms of media hosted on foreign servers.
The bills propose that anyone found guilty of streaming copyrighted content without permission 10 or more times within six months should face up to five years in jail.
The US government and rights holders would have the right to seek court orders against any site accused of "enabling or facilitating" piracy. This could theoretically involve an entire website being shut down because it contains a link to a suspect site.
US-based internet service providers, payment processors and advertisers would be outlawed from doing business with alleged copyright infringers. Sopa also calls for search engines to remove infringing sites from their results - Pipa does not include this provision.
The bills would also outlaw sites from containing information about how to access blocked sites.
The bills originally demanded that internet service providers block users from being able to access suspect sites using a technique called Domain Name System (DNS) blocking.
This would effectively make them "disappear" from the internet - and is a process already used in China and Iran. However, after opponents claimed this could disrupt the internet's underlying architecture, the chief sponsor of each bill agreed to ditch the measure.
To protect sites against false claims of illegal activity Sopa proposes penalising copyright holders who knowingly misrepresent a site's activity - however, Pipa does not contain this safeguard.
Both bills offer immunity to ISPs that block access to websites if they have "credible evidence" that the third party's pages contain unsanctioned copyright material. Critics claim this could create a conflict of interest as it may encourage firms to block access to competitors' sites.
It could also encourage firms to take a "safety first" approach resulting in users being prevented from viewing legal material.
Sopa's supporters are trying to reach consensus on the bill before putting it to a vote in the House of Representatives, which suggests that any vote may be some way off.
Senate majority leader Harry Reid plans to put Pipa up for a vote in the upper house on 24 January.
Supporters of the billsinclude television networks, music publishers, movie industry bodies, book publishers and manufacturers.
Critics includeGoogle, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo, eBay, LinkedIn, AOL and Zynga.
The white paint has pooled across the M606 southbound in Bradford after 12 containers fell off the lorry.
The motorway is shut from Staygate to the Euroway industrial estate while a clean-up operation gets under way.
West Yorkshire Police said it was trying to establish what caused the crash. Highways England said the road needed to be resurfaced.
Nigel Fawcett-Jones, from the force, said: "One of the challenges is that it's hazardous to the environment and they can't just flush it down the drain.
"So they are trying their best to find a method to get it off the carriageway and dispose of it in a safe and appropriate manner."
Motorists have been urged to avoid the area.
The series of shots in Paper magazine show her in various states of undress; topless, bottomless; front and back.
Unsurprisingly, the images of her greased-up behind are the most looked at pictures online with more than 100,000 searches.
So we've looked into the science of... having a big behind.
From Victorian human freak shows to modern day music videos there seems to be an appetite for a big bottom.
It's no secret the lyrics to Meghan Trainor's recent number one hit All About The Base covers the same subject.
She sings: "Yeah my mama told me don't worry about the size, boys like a little more booty to hold at night."
And Jason Derulo in his Wiggle track featuring Snoop Dogg opens up with: "I got one question How do you fit all that... in them jeans? You know what to do with that big fat butt...wiggle."
So while these tracks and the latest photos of Kim Kardashian celebrate the love of a big bottom, it seems there is also an upside health-wise.
In 2010, scientists at Oxford University discovered, after a study of 16,000 women, that those with larger than average butts are not only increasingly intelligent but also very resistant to chronic illnesses.
The researchers also found big-bottomed people need more Omega 3 fats, which have been proven to help brain development, ABC News reported at the time.
Another bit of scientific research related to this part of the anatomy comes from Dr Alice Roberts, an expert on human evolution.
For her BBC Two Origins of Us programme, she looked at why human beings have larger bums compared with ancestral apes.
It appears to be based on a theory from a famous study called The Naked Ape in 1967 by zoologist Desmond Morris.
He concluded that humans needed to be upright for longer than apes; so the buttock muscles known as the gluteus maximus evolved to support standing up.
Dr Alice Roberts also explained in a scientific test that humans needed bottom muscles to engage in running, more so than apes.
Not that you see Kim Kardashian and her famous behind running very often.
If the web had been around in the 1800s, the name people would be typing in would be Hottentot Venus, real name Saartjie Baartman, who was born in 1789 in South Africa.
She was bought and sold to perform in human freak shows in Europe because of her big bum.
But while Kim Kardashian is riding high around the web, the story of Hottentot Venus is one of enslavement and degradation.

BBC director of sport Barbara Slater said it was "critical the BBC targeted its resources to provide maximum value for money for licence fee payers".
The oldest of golf's four major championships will now be broadcast live on Sky from 2016, rather than 2017, as had been announced in February.
"We know that many fans are unhappy with the loss of rights and in an ideal world the BBC would still be the home of live coverage of The Open," added Slater.
"The BBC is faced with some challenging financial savings targets. Sport on the BBC is not immune to those pressures and they are compounded by the highly inflationary nature of the rights market."
Martin Slumbers, chief executive of the R&A, said: "The relationship between the R&A and the BBC spans more than 60 years and we understand the challenging circumstances that the BBC is currently presented with."

Tribute band, The Cornish Wurzells, released their song Drink Up Yer Scrumpy as an mp3 download in November.
Keyboard player Terry Pascoe, who also played in the Wurzels in the 1980s, said no-one had bought a copy.
The group wants to raise £40,000 for a statue to be erected in Mr Cutler's home town of Nailsea, North Somerset.
"We've not had a single download from either iTunes or Amazon," said Mr Pascoe.
"But we're not quitters, we'll let it run its course and review it in a year's time."
He said the idea for a life-sized bronze statue may have to be abandoned if not enough money is raised.
The Wurzels had hits with songs such as Combine Harvester and I Am A Cider Drinker in the 1970s.
"Without Adge there would be no Combine Harvester or Cider Drinker," said Mr Pascoe.
"He was a quality writer, there's alliteration in his songs - all the things you find in classic English language."
Adge Cutler died in a car crash at the age of 42 in 1974.
A government minister and official at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's office told the Reuters news agency that cabinet had cleared the bid.
An announcement was expected to be made over the weekend during Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to India.
China is also bidding to build high-speed bullet train lines in India.
The highly-anticipated multi-billion dollar deal is being touted as one of the biggest foreign investments in India's ageing infrastructure.
"We expect to make an announcement during the visit," the official told Reuters, adding that issues had been sorted out ahead of Prime Minister's Abe visit, which begins on Friday.
The bullet train line is expected to link the financial capital Mumbai and Ahmedabad in the state of Gujurat, cutting the 505km journey from at least eight hours to just two.
Japan is expected to lend India more than half the cost for the project - about $8bn - at very low interest rates for up to 50 years.
The Modi government has committed to invest $137bn in the country's vast, but antiquated railway system over the next five years.
Last month, US's General Electric and France's Alstom also won billion-dollar contracts to provide India's railways with new locomotives.
With air fares still out of reach for many people - train is the way most Indians make long-distance journeys across this vast country.
Tickets are cheap but limited and often need booking months in advance, all for the privilege of riding in carriages that are usually old and fairly rickety.
If the first bullet train really can be up and running in just seven years it'll be the most spectacular outcome of Narendra Modi's pledge to invest $137bn in the antiquated railways.
But for most passengers who want more comfortable, reliable trains which can carry more people, the recent multi-billion dollar contracts awarded to GE and Alstom to build new locomotives for routes across the country will have a greater impact than this one sleek, shiny, high-speed service.
Cheshire West and Chester Council originally proposed to introduce a public space protection order, which would ban sleeping on the streets.
Following public consultation, however, a report recommends councillors should scrap the proposal, which would also have prohibited unauthorised busking.
Under the plans, anybody in breach of the rules faced a fine of up to £1,000.
Of the original idea to fine rough sleepers, police and crime commissioner John Dwyer said: "I don't think it's appropriate - I think there needs to be a proper discussion about how we deal with people who sleep rough.
"Clearly you've got to feel sorry for these people. Some of them aren't genuine... but for genuine rough sleepers, genuine people who've got nowhere else to go, I think we need to have a discussion properly at all sorts of levels as to how we deal with that problem."
Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) were introduced under last year's Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act.
The Chester plans, which were outlined in July by the council and Cheshire Police, would have "controlled and restricted" seven activities, including rough sleeping.
Activities that could be "controlled and restricted":
Activities removed from proposals:
A council consultation found 58% of respondents were against the rough sleeping proposals, while 77% of respondents recommended the council scrap the plans to fine unauthorised buskers and instead introduce in a code of conduct.
Councillor Nicole Meardon said: "We have responded to this feedback by recommending that these measures are removed from the proposals and I look forward to continuing discussions about the measures where public opinion is mixed."
Cheshire West and Chester Council said it would also improve emergency provision for rough sleepers.
A final decision on the proposals will be made in early 2016.
Chad McVeigh, 18, from Devizes, and Nathan Cox and Jordan Taylor, both from Trowbridge, died on Quartermaster Road, Westbury, at 22:30 GMT on Friday.
The men, who were in a Citroen Saxo, were pronounced dead at the scene. The Scania lorry driver was uninjured.
Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses to get in touch.
Interior Minister Muammer Guler told Turkey's NTV the bombs had gone off near the town hall and post office.
Video showed injured people being carried to safety amid shattered buildings and twisted wrecks of cars.
No group has said it had carried out the attack, but a senior Turkish official suggested Syrian involvement.
"Our thoughts are that their Mukhabarat [the Syrian intelligence agency] and armed organisations are the usual suspects in planning and the carrying out of such devilish plans," Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said shortly after the bombings.
Later on Saturday another Deputy Prime Minister, Besir Atalay, said initial investigations showed the attackers were linked to Syrian intelligence, NTV reported.
By Mahmut HamsiciBBC, Reyhanli
Reyhanli residents were in a state of shock after the attacks. But there was anger in the town as well. They were angry at the Turkish and Syrian governments, at Syrian refugees and the media.
One eyewitness shouted at the others: "Don't talk to media. They will not write anything against the government." Some who wanted to talk said: "We welcomed the Syrian refugees supported by our government but they destroyed our lives. They took our jobs, bullied us."
Another young boy said: "All of the Syrians have now gone into hiding. They know that people will attack them."
Leaving the town, I saw vehicles with Syrian plates damaged by rocks, their windows smashed in and bodywork dented - vandalised by residents. It is perhaps a sign that tension between locals and Syrian refugees may increase in the coming days.
Reyhanli is an entry-point for refugees from the war in Syria and local people attacked cars with Syrian number-plates and Syrian refugees after the attack, according to local media.
The Turkish government has been a key supporter of the Syrian opposition, and has allowed rebels as well as refugees on to its territory.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and others have condemned the bombing and offered their condolences.
Hours after the initial blasts, reports came in of a third blast in a residential area but the government said it was the fuel tank of a car exploding and not connected to the attacks.
It appears that the first bombs went off 15 minutes apart and video posted on Turkish media shows people running to help victims of the first when there is the sound of a second explosion.
Emergency services looked for possible victims buried under the debris.
"I was sitting in my pharmacy and suddenly we heard a massive explosion," eyewitness Ismail Akin told Reuters news agency.
"When I looked from my window I saw wounded people and dead bodies."
Another witness, Hayrullah Bal, said: "We were a bit far away from the explosions, it suddenly happened and everybody started to run. It was so strong that all the windows shattered."
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said his country would protect itself.
Mr Davutoglu, who was visiting Berlin, said: "There may be those who want to sabotage Turkey's peace, but we will not allow that.
"No-one should attempt to test Turkey's power. Our security forces will take all necessary measures."
He added that the blasts had taken place to deflect attention from efforts to solve the Syrian crisis.
Mr Kerry said: "The United States condemns today's car bombings and we stand with our ally, Turkey.
"This awful news strikes an especially personal note for all of us given how closely we work in partnership with Turkey."
Mr Rasmussen described the bombing in a statement as "despicable" and said Nato stood by Turkey, a member of the alliance.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague sent a message of solidarity to the people of Turkey.
"Appalling explosions in Reyhanli, Turkey," he wrote on Twitter. "My thoughts are with family & friends of the victims. We stand with the people of Turkey."
The border area of Reyhanli has itself been attacked in recent months.
In February, an explosion near the town killed 17 people and wounded 30.
Five people were killed last October when a mortar round hit the Turkish border town of Akcakale.
On the eve of Nigeria's presidential election, residents of the capital, Abuja, were rushing to shops and markets to stock up on everything from bottled water and bread to other essential supplies.
This resulted in clogged supermarkets and queues at ATMs.
I was told that in one bank you could not withdraw more than 100,000 naira (about $500, £340) from your account in the week leading up to the 28 March electoral contest between President Goodluck Jonathan and opposition leader Muhammadu Buhari.
At one supermarket I went to, the shelves for bread were empty and there was a long queue of people waiting to get loaves being brought in hot from an adjoining bakery.
All this frenzy was because of the fear that the poll could result in violence, similar to that seen after the disputed 2011 election when some 800 people died.
The prospect of an upset in the 28 March election led many local and international groups to try to ease concerns of violence erupting by getting President Jonathan of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Gen Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to sign a peace agreement and to pledge that they will abide by the verdict of the electorate.
The two candidates straddled the religious and regional fault lines in Nigeria, with President Jonathan a Christian from the south and Gen Buhari a Muslim northerner.
The desperate campaign rhetoric had not improved the atmosphere with some highly provocative claims by the politicians.
There was a flurry of international intervention - most notably by the US.
President Barack Obama released a statement on the eve of the election reminding Nigerians that "to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done", echoing the mantra heard after the 1967-1970 Biafran civil war which threatened to break up Africa's most populous state.
International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda also had a clip repeatedly broadcast on some television channels, warning that those responsible for hate crimes committed during the election could be tried at the ICC.
On the day itself, the permanent voter cards and biometric card readers introduced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec) helped to sanitise the election and made it difficult for the 100% voter turnout that used to occur in the past - and through which dubious figures used to be returned as votes.
With supporters of the two main candidates heavily mobilised, the vote passed off generally peacefully in spite of some minor hitches.
The one time when everyone in Nigeria held their breath was at the collation centre where results were being announced a few days later.
A PDP agent and a former government minister, Godsday Orubebe, nearly disrupted the whole process by accusing the electoral boss of bias - a charge he dismissed after a tense few minutes that seemed like hours to most Nigerians glued to their televisions and radios that were broadcasting the whole drama live.
Before the matter was defused, many Nigerians feared either a repeat of what happened in Ivory Coast in 2010 when the announcement of election results was halted and the result sheet was torn up live on television by a ruling party agent, leading to a brief civil war
Or a repeat of the Nigerian situation in 1993 when a court halted the announcement of results and the military subsequently annulled the poll, leading to a prolonged political crisis in the country.
When it emerged later that day that President Jonathan had called and congratulated the opposition candidate and conceded defeat, Nigeria erupted into celebrations several hours before the formal announcement was made by Inec that Gen Buhari had won the election by a margin of more than two million votes.
It is a sad irony that the scores of deaths which followed were not as a result of political clashes, but the reckless way in which some people were celebrating the victory through dangerous driving and other stunts.
And while some of the credit for the historic week must go to the electoral commission and to a president who found a redeeming feature in a generally lacklustre term in office, it was also the Nigerian people who were determined to show they had come of age.
They are savouring the fact that they have broken the jinx that an incumbent cannot be defeated through the ballot box.
These strengthened democratic credentials leave a sweet taste for Nigerians and should also be as a warning to the president-elect that it is no longer possible to take the voters for granted.
Two Chris Noakes penalties put the Exiles 6-0 ahead at the break.
Alex Lewington's try straight from kick-off at the start of the second half and Topsy Ojo's score three minutes later sent Irish well clear.
Falcons hit back through Andy Goode's penalty and tries from Nili Latu and Marcus Watson, but the Exiles held on.
With this pair of sides having finished in the two places immediately above bottom spot last season both were tipped to struggle again in 2015-16, and they went into their meeting in Berkshire with only one win apiece from eight games and occupying the bottom two slots in the table.
A sparse crowd inside the Madejski Stadium were made to endure a cagey and try-less first 40 minutes, with two Noakes penalties the difference between the teams.
But, while the opening period was short of action in either 22, Lewington and Ojo both touched down within four minutes of the restart as the contest quickly opened up.
Latu then crossed in the corner and Goode, playing against the side for whom he signed in the summer but never played because of injury problems, landed a penalty to reduce the deficit.
Watson's converted try, while Irish hooker David Paice was in the sin bin, dragged Newcastle back to within five points - but the Falcons could not force another score despite heavy late pressure and had to be content with as losing bonus point.
London Irish head coach Tom Coventry told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"I was squirming in my seat there with a couple of minutes to go. It was a tough game, both teams probably played with a lack of confidence.
"We all played probably to not lose rather than go out there with a positive attitude and compete with the ball.
"It ended up being a bit of a dire spectacle even though we had a 20-point lead at one stage. We're still not managing those big moments well enough.
"I think it was our own doing that put us under pressure in the closing moments. We got the win, but we still need to be much better than that."
Newcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards:
"I feel sorry for (backs coach) Dave Walder in many ways. You look at the guys who are injured - we're probably lacking that little bit of X-Factor which you get with guys like (Alesana) Tuilagi, Sinoti Sinoti, Mike Delany, (Gonzalo) Tiesi, (Sonatane) Takulua and (Ruki) Tipuna.
"We've got a full international backline which is out at this moment in time and even though we scored twice and created four more opportunities, we're still not scoring and converting as many as we want to.
"London Irish didn't look like scoring (a try) other than on those two occasions and that was the disappointing thing."

Maria Boncza-Tomaszewska, Geoff Collier, Ken Crellin, Julie Maddrell and Mike Murley took an oath of allegiance and justice on Thursday.
A government spokesman said the community volunteers were now ready to hear cases at Douglas court house.
Deemster Doyle said they would play a "vital role" within the justice system.
He added: "They all bring with them their individual strengths, experiences of life and their sense of justice and fairness. The justice system will be stronger for that.
"The justices play a vital role at the sharp end of the administration of justice in this wonderful island. It is very healthy that members of the community are willing to actively engage in the administration of justice within the community."
The spacecraft is expected to crash into the planet's surface at 20:26 BST on Thursday; it made its final powered manoeuvre on 28 April.
After reaching Mercury in 2011, Messenger has far exceeded its primary mission plan of one year in orbit.
It is only slowly losing altitude but will hit at 8,750mph (14,000km/h).
That means the 513kg craft, which is only 3m across, will blast a 16m crater into an area near the planet's north pole, according to scientists' calculations.
All of Messenger's fuel, half its weight at launch, is completely spent; its last four manoeuvres, extending the flight as far as possible, have been accomplished by venting the helium gas normally used to pressurise actual rocket fuel into the thrusters.
The high-speed collision, 12 times faster than sound, will obliterate this history-making craft. And it will only happen because Mercury has no thick atmosphere to burn up incoming objects - the same reason its surface is so pock-marked by impact craters.
During its twice-extended mission, Messenger (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) transformed our understanding of Mercury. It sent back more than 270,000 images and 10 terabytes of scientific measurements.
It found evidence for water ice hiding in the planet's shadowy polar craters, and discovered that Mercury's magnetic field is bizarrely off-centre, shifted along the planet's axis by 10% of its diameter.
Messenger traces a highly elliptical orbit around Mercury, drifting out to a distance of nearly twice the planet's diameter before swinging to within 60 miles (96km) at closest approach. To maintain this pattern in the face of interference from the Sun, it needed a blast of engine power every few months - but its fuel tanks are now empty.
After circling the planet 4,104 times, Messenger made its penultimate pass at a distance of between 300 and 600 metres - one or two times the height of the Eiffel Tower - at about 13:00 BST on Thursday.
"If you could see that, it would be a real spectacle," said Jim Raines, the instrument scientist on the craft's FIPS instrument (Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer) and a physicist at the University of Michigan. "It would cross the horizon in just a second or two, flying low overhead at ten times the speed of a supersonic fighter."
The next time it swings back close to Mercury's surface, eight hours later, it will be curtains for Messenger; the impact has been precisely modelled using maps produced by the craft's own data.
Mercury has towering cliffs left by its shrinking, wrinkling history, but the predicted path has Messenger missing these.
"It's a pretty flat area of the planet," said Nancy Chabot, the instrument scientist on the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS), Messenger's twin cameras. "It's going to be a skimming impact."
But it will leave a mark.
"It will probably be an oblique crater... because the impact angle will be so shallow, so grazing to the surface. But at over 8,000 miles per hour, it's going to make a crater."
The impact will happen on the side of the planet facing away from Earth. This puts the craft out of contact, and means it will probably carry more than 1,000 unseen images to its final, explosive resting place.
MDIS can take hundreds of photos every day. Earlier this month, mission scientists released fresh images which superimposed years of spectrometry data about the chemistry of the planet's surface, illustrated by different colours, onto black-and-white images built up from thousands of smaller MDIS photos.
The planet has been mapped and studied to a level of detail far beyond the original mission plan. Many of the results themselves have also been surprising.
"A lot of people didn't give this spacecraft much of a chance of even getting to Mercury, let alone going into orbit and then gathering data for four years instead of the original scheduled one-year mission," said William McClintock from the University of Colorado Boulder, principal investigator on MASCS (the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer, another of the seven scientific instruments on board).
"In the end, most of what we considered to be gospel about Mercury turned out to be a little different than we thought."
Dr Chabot remembers the tension of processing the first image ever recorded by a spacecraft orbiting Mercury, back in 2011. She had only recently taken over as the instrument scientist on MDIS.
"It was exciting but for me personally it was also a bit stressful," Dr Chabot, who works at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, told the BBC. "But then the first image came back and it looked amazing and beautiful, and we realised we were here at Mercury to stay. I take a lot of pride in that image."
Despite being able to look back with pride, Dr Raines said this is still a sad day for Messenger scientists.
"Pretty much all the instruments are still doing great, so that makes it a little harder," he told BBC News. But the mission was always going to be limited by the fuel needed to maintain its difficult orbit.
"To be honest, I've seen this day coming for a long time and it's just one of these things that I've not been looking forward to. I'm really going to be sad to see it go."

He got a solid majority among MEPs in a secret ballot - 422 votes - and the support of 26 out of 28 EU governments.
But British MEPs in particular - the UK Independence Party and the Conservatives - were vocal in their opposition to him.
Mr Juncker, 59, based his claim to the EU's top job on being the Spitzenkandidat (lead candidate) of the centre-right European People's Party, which won the May elections.
His election is seen as a triumph for the European Parliament, which pioneered the Spitzenkandidat procedure. It was an effort to make the European elections more relevant to voters and give the EU more of a "human face".
But UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the parliament had usurped the right of government leaders to choose the EU's top executive. In the past that choice was made behind closed doors, and by unanimity, without a formal vote.
Mr Juncker is a controversial figure, as a leading advocate of deeper EU integration, and is often called a "federalist".
A veteran of Brussels deal-making, he headed the powerful Eurogroup - the eurozone finance ministers - at the height of the eurozone crisis, when crucial decisions were taken about austerity and bailout conditions.
In a speech setting out his agenda for the EU on 15 July he stressed that the euro "protects Europe" and he praised former Commission president Jacques Delors, the man credited with launching the single currency.
Mr Juncker was prime minister of Luxembourg from 1995 to 2013 and one of the architects of the euro.
But according to Pierre Leyers, financial editor of the daily Luxemburger Wort, it is misleading to call him a "federalist". "He wants deeper integration, but not a European superstate," he told the BBC.
Mr Leyers argues that coming from a tiny country has enhanced Mr Juncker's influence in the EU, odd though that may seem to people unfamiliar with Brussels politics.
Luxembourg was a founding member of the community which became the EU and, sandwiched between France and Germany, "it had no choice but to try to be on good terms with its neighbours", Mr Leyers said. "So some Luxembourg politicians were always good negotiators and diplomats, to get France and Germany together."
The drive for post-war reconciliation shaped Mr Juncker's political views.
Early in his political career he worked for Prime Minister Pierre Werner, who helped to forge the Franco-German bond at the heart of the European project.
Mr Werner came up with a plan for monetary union which was later developed by Jacques Delors.
Mr Juncker went on to become one of the world's longest-serving democratically elected leaders.
But some of his past remarks have raised eyebrows, suggesting a less than firm commitment to democracy.
Ahead of the French vote on the European Constitution in 2005 he said: "If it's a Yes, we will say 'on we go', and if it's a No we will say 'we continue'".
And in 2011 he said "monetary policy is a serious issue - we should discuss this in secret, in the Eurogroup... I am for secret, dark debates".
His greatest EU challenge has been shoring up the eurozone since the 2008 financial crash, when Greece's colossal debts, and those of other struggling eurozone countries, threatened the very survival of the single currency.
In a high-profile TV debate on 15 May Mr Juncker said he had worked "night and day" to rescue Greece.
According to Mr Leyers, at the height of the crisis he was working 14 hours a day and that took a toll on his health. He is a heavy smoker.
He is by far the most popular politician in Luxembourg, added the journalist at the Grand Duchy's leading daily.
In the TV debate, Mr Juncker said it was now time for the EU to "replace debt by ideas" and achieve a digital single market, while ensuring "minimum social standards for workers".
He also called for an EU-US free trade treaty. The negotiations are controversial, amid widespread European anxiety about powerful US corporations.
Mr Juncker is a strong advocate of a European "solidarity" union - an EU that strives to raise living standards in its poorest regions and sectors.
He has not explained how an EU-US free trade deal might impact on EU social protection policies, which currently cost the EU many billions through support for farmers and projects to help poor communities.
He claimed that such a deal would give each European an extra 545 euros (£443; $742) - an exaggeration, according to a fact check by Eurovision, which hosted the debate.
He has also defended the Common Agricultural Policy, saying agriculture employs about 30 million Europeans. But the UK government is among the many critics who say the CAP is wasteful and want more of the EU budget spent on digital technologies, research and investment in small businesses.
Mats Persson, director of the Open Europe think-tank, says Mr Juncker is associated with the EU of the 1980s and 1990s, echoing a criticism attributed to Prime Minister Cameron.
After an election that saw a surge in support for Eurosceptic parties, that connection with past EU policies may be a disadvantage, Mr Persson told the BBC.
However, Mr Juncker is not vague about the political risks of taking tough economic decisions. He once said, "We all know what to do, we just don't know how to get re-elected after we've done it."
Henry did not to return to his home at the castle following an afternoon display for visitors on Saturday.
The castle said it was not uncommon for young birds of prey to spread their wings and fly off for a few days, but the public is being asked to remain eagle-eyed.
However, people should not approach Henry, who is about a year old with a 6ft wing span.
The eagle is not a danger to the public but for his safety, handlers have asked people to report any sightings to the castle.
More updates on this and other stories in Warwickshire
Henry is described as brown but does not yet have his full adult feathers and was last seen with a bell on his tail and wearing jesses - thin straps, usually leather, used to tether birds.
"Our guests enjoy two birds of prey displays each day which can involve up to six birds being in the air at one time," the spokesman said.
"Sometimes, the birds will decide to explore the local countryside for a while before returning to their home at the castle.
Stanley, a white tailed sea eagle went missing during a show at the tourist attraction in 2012.
But despite sightings and attempts to recapture him he has not since returned.
The ceiling came down shortly before 20:00 BST at the Al-Miraj Banqueting Suite in Small Heath, Birmingham.
Most of the people inside managed to escape but six people, including two girls aged nine and 10 and a young boy, had to be treated by paramedics.
The 10-year-old suffered facial injuries caused by shattered glass and was taken to Heartlands Hospital.
The nine-year-old girl and a woman in her 40s were treated for shock.
A man in his 20s suffered leg pain and a man in his 30s injured his shoulder.
The relative of a young boy who had been taken home later called 999 when he was suffering from shock and leg pain. He was taken to hospital.
The event was arranged by the Al Ameen School in Birmingham and was to feature live performances from musicians and give out awards to pupils.
A teacher answering the phone today said the school would be issuing a statement but added: "All the children are fine."
Firefighters and paramedics searched the venue to see if anyone was trapped inside, but all were accounted for.
West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman Claire Brown said: "Thankfully, everyone had managed to escape and there were no further patients found.
"Whilst we treated six people following the incident, it was incredibly lucky that no one was more seriously or even fatally injured."
This year the competition, which happens in Lincolnshire in the UK, was won by a team all the way from New Zealand.
Nick Hornstein and Robbie Hollander travelled across the world to compete and they won gold!
They took part in the Egg Throwing event which sees teams of two people throwing an egg as far as they can without breaking it.
The pair managed to throw their egg a huge 81 metres, frying both their opposition and the old world record of 76 metres.
Teams from England, Australia and Germany also participated in the games, but Julie Moens of Canada was the championships' most eggs-ceptional competitor.
The Canadian won gold in both the Russian Egg Roulette and the Egg Catapult events.
The Russian Egg Roulette challenge is probably the messiest of the lot. It sees two players take turns to pick from six eggs and smash them on their heads.
The catch is that five eggs are boiled and one is raw - whoever avoids the raw egg is the winner!

Welcome to Afghanistan's "190" election hotline.
Around 60 staff, juggling computer, mouse and headphones provide an everyday information service, from 07:00 in the morning to 20:00 at night advising on everything you need to know about the crucial 2014 presidential and provincial polls.
The Taliban have threatened the election and everyone associated with it, so the building where they work is secured by guards and blast walls.
Qais Safi, one of the mostly young workers manning the phones says that callers usually have practical questions.
"People ask how they can get voting cards, who the presidential candidates and their deputies are, what symbols they use and what number they are on the polling papers."
Because two-thirds of Afghans are thought to be illiterate, the logos chosen to identify candidates during the campaign and on ballot papers are important, and include anything from an oil lamp to a bulldozer.
The call centre staff have been trained for three days, with more workshops to follow as the campaign unfolds.
Syed Baryali Shuaib, the head of the centre, says they get 5,000 to 6,000 calls every day, and expects numbers to rise. But only 10% of callers are female.
The Election Commission has other means to reach voters too: it produces TV and radio slots and installs roadside billboards.
And in a country with almost 20 million mobile users, SMS texts have become as important as messages read out in mosques after Friday prayers.
They are a 317-unit development in the Athletic Stores building on Queen Street and an 11-storey, 380-unit development on Little Patrick Street.
The Athletic Stores scheme will involve retaining the building's facade and demolishing and rebuilding behind it.
The Ulster Architectural and Heritage Society had objected to the scheme.
It said a facade retention approach should only be used as a "last resort".
However, the planners said that "on balance" the approach was appropriate and would not cause harm to the area's overall character or appearance.
Belfast City Council's planning committee is due to make a decision on the applications at a meeting on Tuesday.
A series of major student schemes, mainly close to Ulster University's Belfast campus, have been given planning consent in recent months.

It worked for 60 hours before its solar-powered battery ran flat.
The comet has moved nearer to the sun since and Philae has enough power to work again, says the BBC's science correspondent Jonathan Amos.
The Philae craft made three short contacts of about 10 seconds each at roughly 9.30pm on Sunday.
The probe sent the message: 'Hello Earth! Can you hear me?"
Scientists say they now waiting for the next contact.
What is the Philae lander?
Philae is designed to analyse ice and rock on the comet.
The Rosetta probe took 10 years to reach the comet, and the lander - about the size of a washing-machine - bounced at least a kilometre when it touched down.
Before it lost power, Philae sent images of its surroundings which showed it was in a type of ditch with high walls blocking sunlight from its solar panels.
Its exact location on the comet has since been a mystery.
The Grade II-listed building in the heart of the town was built in 1855 but has been unused for a decade.
After securing £2.4m of Heritage Lottery Fund cash, the council plans to create a library and business hub.
Following an ownership row, the council took it over in July 2016 and has announced work will start in January.
Originally, the building housed assembly rooms and a court.
However, it passed into private ownership about a decade ago and concerns were raised about its deteriorating condition as it fell into disrepair.
After the council failed to find a solution with the owner, the Welsh Government successfully applied for a compulsory purchase order.
Conservation work on the main structure and exterior of the building will now begin in the coming weeks.
Anglesey council's planning portfolio holder Richard Dew called it an "ambitious project" which will preserve "a significant piece of Holyhead's rich history".
The information was released during Monday's funeral service for Freddie Gray, which was followed by more street clashes between protesters and police.
Gray, 25, died a week after sustaining serious and unexplained spinal injuries during his arrest.
His death sparked daily protests about police force against African Americans.
On Saturday the protests turned violent, with some elements confronting police officers and smashing cars.
A statement released by police said that its Criminal Intelligence Unit learned "that members of various gangs including the Black Guerrilla Family (BGF), Bloods, and Crips have entered into a partnership" to target officers.
Some protesters had warned on Saturday that the gangs would come together in this way, says the BBC's Aleem Maqbool.
One man told him: "We gonna unify, you got Bloods, Crips, Muslims, BGF, you got everybody out here, you ain't never see it like this before. Everybody together just to go against these pigs [police].
Meanwhile, around 2,500 people are reported to have packed into the New Shiloh Baptist Church to pay their respects to Gray.
President Barack Obama has dispatched three officials to the service.
There have been some large, very peaceful protests in Baltimore since the death of Freddie Gray, attended by hundreds upset by what they perceive to be years of police discrimination and brutality.
But in many respects they have been overshadowed by more violent displays by small numbers of angry young protesters.
Over the weekend, as we watched young men hurling abuse, bottles and even spitting at police officers, we saw other demonstrators try to stop them and argue that only peaceful means would work.
But those confronting the police told us they felt the only way to stop officers killing black men was to "make the police pay" and to harm them.
They said the various gangs in the city would come together to make that happen until they saw a change, and felt they had got justice.
Elijah Cummings, a member of the US House of Representatives, was one of the speakers.
Looking at the heavy media presence, he said: "I'm used to a lot of cameras, I ain't seen this many cameras in a long time.
"I put my nephew in the grave four years ago - blasted away, still don't know who did it," he told the crowd as he fought back tears.
"We will not rest until we address this and see that justice is done," he said referring to Gray's case.
On Sunday afternoon, mourners - many of whom did not know Gray - streamed into the funeral home for his wake.
Some stood outside holding signs emblazoned with "We remember Freddie" and "Our Hearts Are With The Gray Family".
The same day, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake appealed for peace after protests the night before turned violent.
There were 34 arrests as peaceful demonstrations by about 1,200 people outside City Hall on Saturday afternoon got out of control.
Small groups and individuals splintered from the main group, looting a storefront, tossing a flaming rubbish bin at police, and smashing police cars.
Six police officers sustained minor injuries.
The protests, the largest to date, were just one episode of near-daily demonstrations that have taken place since Gray's death.
Gray lay in a coma for one week before his death, a week after police chased him through a West Baltimore neighbourhood and dragged him into a police van.
Police say they arrested him after he made eye contact with officers and ran away.
Officials have already accepted that procedures were not properly followed during the arrest.
During the arrest and van ride, Gray asked for medical attention a number of times, but was refused.
After a 30-minute ride with several stops, including one to place Gray in leg shackles, paramedics were called.
Authorities have so far not explained when or how Gray's spine was injured.
The Perpignan fly-half has not recovered from a bout of chicken pox and his bench place will be taken by Stephen Jones.
Scarlets veteran Jones will extend his Welsh caps record to 105 if he takes to the field.
Lock Alun Wyn Jones and captain Sam Warburton return from injuries for the encounter at Twickenham.
A Wales statement read: "Although Hook is physically well it was felt that, in the best interests of the Welsh team and the opposition, he should be withdrawn from the game.
"Whilst this decision has not been taken lightly, it was concluded that this was the most responsible course of action."
Unbeaten Wales made three changes to the pack that started their 27-13 win over Scotland.

Hooker Ken Owens makes his first Wales start because Matthew Rees and Huw Bennett have calf injuries.
Osprey Alun Wyn Jones will play his first Wales game since the World Cup, ousting team-mate Ryan Jones, who hands back the captaincy to openside Warburton.
Warburton was forced to miss the victory over the Scots because of a dead leg.
Alun Wyn Jones, who win his 60th cap, is back after recovering from a dislocated toe he suffered in training in November.
Owens won the second of his two caps as a replacement in the victory over Scotland after making his debut from the bench against Namibia in the pool stages of the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The Wales backline remains unchanged from that which started both victories so far in the Championship, against Ireland in Dublin and Scotland in Cardiff.
Full Six Nations table
The only injury concern in the backline had been George North's twisted ankle but the 19-year-old wing has recovered.
"A fit again Alun Wyn Jones is selected based on his Rugby World Cup form and his experience as an international lock," said Wales head coach Warren Gatland.
"He gave us a selection dilemma but it has been a great problem to have and, whilst Ryan Jones is particularly unlucky to miss out on this occasion, this is just that kind of competition for places we have been striving for.
"Ken Owens has been waiting patiently for his chance and injuries elsewhere have meant he gets his opportunity this weekend and we are expecting him to take it."
On the bench Osprey Richard Hibbard provides the hooker cover with Rees and Bennett both injured.
Ryan Jones replaces Sale Sharks back row Andy Powell, with Justin Tipuric completing the forward replacements.

That means there is no place in the 22 for Aaron Shingler, who made an impressive Wales debut against Scotland.
Blues scrum-half Lloyd Williams and Scarlets centre Scott Williams are retained to provide cover for the backs along with recalled 34-year-old Stephen Jones.
Meanwhile, Gatland has said Wales are not intimidated by the task facing them against England.
Wales have won only once at Twickenham in the last 20 years - a 26-19 victory during the Grand Slam season of 2008 and have never completed any of their previous 19 Triple Crowns at the ground.
"There is definitely not that fear factor now," Gatland told BBC Wales' Sport Wales.
"If we go there with our heads right and get some quality ball, we have got a good chance. We are not afraid of going to Twickenham now, we are excited about it.
"I expect England might have the attitude that if they can get four penalties, a try and conversion and get 19 points, and they can squeeze us, that might be enough.
"It is a great challenge for us going to Twickenham as favourites. This young team has got to learn to accept that and deal with those expectations, because in Wales there is nothing in between - it is all or nothing.
It will not be as mild as recent days but a pleasant afternoon in store weather-wise at Twickenham. With light winds and some sunshine, a very reasonable 11 or 12 degrees is expected.
Full Twickenham forecast
"There is only one consequence of being built up and that is you get quickly knocked down. We have got to make sure we keep our feet on the ground.
"A lot of people are talking us up which is going to add to England's motivation, and we have got to handle that.
"I have generally got fond memories of Twickenham [where he began his tenure as Wales coach with victory in 2008], but talking to some Wales players who played over the past 20 years, it was a bit different when they were fully loaded with [Martin] Johnson, [Lawrence] Dallaglio, Back and all the others."

The event has been called for Sunday evening in the city's Taksim Square.
Authorities banned the march for third year in a row, citing security concerns after threats from far-right groups.
Homosexuality is not illegal in Turkey - unlike in many Muslim nations - but analysts say homophobia remains widespread in the country.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose ruling AK Party is rooted in conservative Islam, has denied wanting to impose traditional religious values, saying he is committed to secularism. But he supports Turks' right to express their religion more openly.
He has been accused of growing authoritarianism in recent years.
Lara Ozlen from the Gay Pride organising committee told AFP news agency: "It is obvious that a peaceful march is part of our constitutional right".
"It's been known for years. Instead of protecting us, to say 'do not march' just because some will be disturbed is undemocratic," she added.
Earlier, Istanbul's governor office banned the march, following threats from far-right groups to disrupt the event.
The city officials also said they had not received a formal request to hold the march - a claim denied by the organisers.
Last year, riot police fired tear gas and plastic bullets after transgender rights activists gathered in Istanbul - in defiance of a ban on marching.
The Culzean field is expected to produce enough gas to meet 5% of the UK's needs when it reaches peak production.
It holds reserves equivalent to about a quarter of a billion barrels of oil.
Maersk Oil said its plans to develop the field were boosted by tax changes announced recently by the chancellor.
The company said the project is expected to support an estimated 6,000 UK jobs and create more than 400 direct jobs.
The field was discovered in 2008. Gas is expected to start flowing from the development in 2019 and continue for at least 13 years with peak production of 60,000-90,000 barrels per day.
Three billion pounds of investment and 400 direct-employed British jobs: a lot of buck for not so much employment bang. The Culzean field is top heavy with the money required to unlock high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) gas.
The economic impact is reduced by two other factors: half of that investment spend is not to be made in Britain. Danish-owned Maersk has ordered the gas platform topsides - three of them - from Singapore. The UK gets to fabricate the jackets (the legs for the topsides), the bridges between them, the power generation module and the flare stack. Aberdeen is getting some of that work. So are firms in Hartlepool and Lowestoft.
And the tax revenue will be reduced by a range of incentives. HPHT technology was already given its own tax break, even before other fiscal carrots were dangled in the March Budget.
Does this suggest that the worst of the industry downturn is over? No. Culzean is a gas field, and gas has not fallen as sharply as the oil price. And having been discovered in 2008, there was a momentum towards investment which was hard to stop as the industry slammed the brakes on investment. The key decisions for Culzean equipment were made in May last year, when prices were still riding high.
From 2019, Culzean will help boost output from the North Sea and it should propel Maersk into the top five UK producers.
There are other such fields being readied. But they're not replacing the depleting reserves. Only last week, Maersk joined the operators planning to close down platforms.
The Janice field, which began producing in the late 1990s is now down to only around 7000 barrels per day. The company has applied for regulatory permission to close down the platform, with a likely loss of 200 jobs. What happens to the cluster of fields - Janice, James and Affleck - is yet to be made clear, but it seems likely two of them will shut down.
Chief executive of Maersk Oil, Jakob Thomasen, said: "Culzean is an important development for the UK and also for Maersk Oil and our co-venturers.
"We are pleased the field will support UK economic growth as well as extend understanding of HPHT development.
"Culzean is the latest in a series of large investments by Maersk Oil in the North Sea where we are active in Denmark, Norway and the UK - reflecting our commitment to the future of the North Sea region."
Andy Samuel, chief executive of the Oil & Gas Authority, said: "Maersk Oil and partners' £3bn investment to develop the Culzean discovery is excellent news for the UK during a period when the decline in global oil prices has created difficult operating conditions for this critical sector of our economy."
News of the approval was also welcomed by Chancellor George Osborne, who visited Aberdeen.
He said: "Today's announcement sends a clear signal that the North Sea is open for business. Already the UK's oil and gas industry supports hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country and this £3bn investment comes on the back of massive government support for the sector."
Scotland's Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said: "Development of the Culzean field brings welcome investment, jobs and supply chain opportunities and, as the largest new field in a decade, it also demonstrates that there remain considerable opportunities to extend production for decades to come."
However, he added: "We are extremely concerned that there are a large number of fields which may be forced to stop production prematurely - when there is a great deal of oil and or gas to be extracted."
Deirdre Michie, chief executive of industry body Oil and Gas UK, said "Oil and Gas UK welcomes the development approval of the largest new field discovered in the UK North Sea in more than a decade.
"This investment by Maersk Oil and its co-venturers is very encouraging at this challenging time for the industry and reinforces the fact that that the UK Continental Shelf continues to have much to offer."

The last 12 months have seen UK acts setting the bar for Grammy nominations and making chart history in the US (no points for guessing which boyband).
For some, meeting an idol was the most memorable moment of the year while for others it was all about awards season.
Here are some of the UK's biggest acts' highlights of 2014.
It's an obvious one for these boys right? Glastonbury headliners at last? Well, another show was just as big a highlight in 2014 for Tom, Serge and co.
"The home show in Leicester and then Glastonbury," says Serge Pizzorno.
"One was just like an emotional 10-year trip to play in front of that many people where we were born and inspiring the next generation of kids from our town.
"And the weekend after was closing the greatest festival in the world, there's not really anything else to say."
Actually, they had a few more things to say on the matter.
"I've never quite been as high as that - for two weeks I was on the ceiling of every establishment I went in to," says the guitarist.
"[It was] just pure emotion," said frontman Tom Meighan.
"The summer was a wonderful time, I think it was probably the best year of us as a band, we won't ever top that forever, that was our moment."
Ahhhh.
Sam Smith certainly has plenty to choose from; this time last year, we hardly knew who he was.
In fact this time six months ago, we still weren't entirely sure - (watch this nonsense for further explaination...)
So despite having a number one album and single, and breaking America, his top moment is all the fun times he's having now he's a massive pop star.
"I think one of the highlights would be the MTV VMAs," he explained.
"I watched that as a kid every year and being there and performing, sitting in the seat I was sat in was very, very surreal."
He was sat perched in between Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, with Ariana Grande and the Kardashians nearby and they all knew who he was.
"It's really odd what's happened over there [America] in such a short space of time, it's incredible.
"But do you know what? I do miss the UK when I am there and I can't wait to be back when I am gone."
We miss you too.
Foxes is another new artist who has had a stellar year and picked up a few famous fans along the way.
Her highlight was supporting Pharrell Williams on tour and meeting a couple of other huge, sorry, gargantuan stars.
"Supporting Pharrell, it was scary but it was an honour," she told Newsbeat.
"To be on that for 30 days was just mind-blowing. I learnt so much, made so many friends. I am sad to not be on it now."
As for Pharrell?
"He was lovely, he treated me and my team like family," she explained.
"It was just the most amazing tour to be on. I kept having to look around and be like, 'Oh my God there's Jay Z and Beyonce and Pharrell' and they are all there."
Actual Beyonce?
"I talked to her for about 15 minutes about make-up and I just didn't even know what to say," said Foxes.
"She asked me what mascara I use and I felt really silly because it is like Beyonce, you probably have your own mascara and so it was a moment."
He performed at the O2 arena in London, virtually on his own, while six different couples got engaged.
He had another number one album, hung out with the cast of Friends, Taylor Swift and everyone else in the world and announced he'd perform at Wembley Stadium.
But it was meeting his idol that really stood out for Ed Sheeran.
So who is this musical hero Ed?
"Van Morrison," he told Newsbeat.
"Growing up as a kid, he was the person I listened to starting off, so being able to chat to him for two hours, it kind of made my job feel very, very surreal.
"We chatted about music and what is happening now in the digital age.
"From the looks of things on the media forefront people might not think anyone likes me.
"So it's nice to see people I look up to and admire say good things."
This time last year, Ella Eyre was that girl, with awesome hair and incredible voice on Rudimental's Waiting All Night.
Now she is an artist in her own right, with a Mobo for best newcomer under her belt and her debut album on the way in 2015.
But let's not forget, she already has a Brit Award to her name as Waiting All Night was named best British single and that is her highlight of 2015.
"I was one of my first and biggest award ceremonies to be a part of," she said.
"It is such a highlight for it to be so early on in my career to have won a Brit Award and to be performing on the first world streamed Brit Awards.
"Also releasing my solo stuff after being known as a featured artist for quite a while now, it's just nice for people to know me on my own."

Team Sky's Mikel Landa broke clear on the race to the summit finish to win stage 19 but the drama was behind him.
Tom Dumoulin, who had led since winning stage 10, cracked on the final climb, and his 31-second advantage evaporated.
The Dutchman is 38 seconds adrift of Quintana and five ahead of third-placed Vincenzo Nibali but Sunday's final stage time trial will favour Dumoulin.
Movistar's Quintana, the 2014 Giro champion, immediately warned that the 100th edition of the three-week race was "far from over" and that he had to try and "take more time" from Dumoulin on Saturday's "decisive" final day in the mountains.
Italy's defending champion Nibali, who rides for Bahrain-Merida, agreed, saying: "We have to give it everything, we have to take as many seconds as possible before the time trial."
Stage 20 features two big ascents as the riders tackle a 190km route from Pordenone to Asiago and 27-year-old Quintana and Nibali, 32, are more accomplished climbers than Dumoulin.
Sunday's final stage is a largely flat 29.3km time trial from Monza to Milan and 26-year-old Dumoulin is expected to comfortably beat his rivals in the race against the clock.
Sunweb team leader Dumoulin, who is trying to become the first Dutchman to win the Giro, won the time trial on stage 10, completing the 39.8km course more than three minutes quicker than Quintana and more than two minutes clear of Nibali.
Friday's winner Landa rode solo over the finish line after two near misses earlier in the race.
The Spaniard has twice been beaten in the final metres of a stage this week but he made sure on stage 19, riding clear from the breakaway in the final 10km of the climb to Piancavallo.
Landa leads the King of the Mountains classification after taking victory from Rui Costa by one minute 49 seconds.
Orica's British rider Adam Yates finished in a group alongside Quintana, more than eight minutes behind Landa, to move up to eighth in the overall standings.
Nibali crossed the line a couple of seconds after Yates and Quintana with Dumoulin more than a minute further back.

Pte Cheryl James, 18, from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was found with a bullet wound to her head in November 1995.
She was one of four soldiers who died at the Surrey barracks between 1995 and 2002 amid claims of bullying and abuse.
The inquest in Woking is expected to last seven weeks and hear evidence from more than 100 people.
In 2014, the High Court quashed the original 1995 inquest, which recorded an open verdict.
Her father Des James is due to be the first witness to give evidence before coroner Judge Brian Barker on Monday.
Mr James told BBC Radio Wales' Eye on Wales programme: "There's no wrong verdict for me in this.
"As long as the process is impeccable, as long as I can look back and say everything we could do, we've done, that's the important thing."
He said he would approach the hearing with an "open mind" and wanted questions about the events leading up to her death answered.
Last summer, the recruit's body was exhumed and a fresh post-mortem examination was carried out.
Metallic fragments were recovered which have been analysed by a ballistics expert.
The family had repeatedly called for her body to be exhumed to resolve a dispute over the ballistics evidence.
Pte James was one of four soldiers found dead at Deepcut, in Camberley, between 1995 and 2002.
Ptes Sean Benton, James Collinson and Geoff Gray also died from gunshot wounds.
June Kelly, BBC home affairs correspondent
This new inquest is the culmination of a battle by Cheryl James's parents, Doreen and Des, to find out about events on and before the November morning when their teenage daughter was found dead.
Together with the families of the other soldiers who died at Deepcut, Mr and Mrs James campaigned for a public inquiry. The families didn't succeed with that and so their lawyers began looking at the possibility of fresh inquests.
Cheryl James's parents who, like two of the other families, are represented by lawyers from the human rights organisation, Liberty, were the first to be granted a new inquest.
This was after Liberty had gained access to the material held by Surrey police: 44 volumes of statements, documents, notes and photographs. Now for the first time this will come under detailed scrutiny in a public forum.
Christopher Tappin, 69, from Orpington, south east London, served his 33-month term in Pennsylvania and the UK.
He claims he was kept in solitary confinement in the US as punishment for fighting extradition.
The Home Office said safeguards were in place to protect British nationals.
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Tappin said during his jail term a US prison warden asked him if he knew why he was being kept in solitary confinement and whether he had fought extradition.
"I said 'yes, I went through my legal process through the channels that are open to me' - he said 'well boy, that's the reason why. You oppose the US, this is what happens to you'."
In a call for an "even playing field" with the US over extradition, he said: "They won't allow anyone to come over to our country without a prima facie case. We shouldn't do either."
Tappin said he could have been jailed for 35 years at age 65 and therefore had no option but to make a plea bargain.
Plea bargaining is common in the US, with defendants often able to secure a more lenient sentence if they admit an offence.
A Home Office statement said: "This government has reformed the UK's extradition arrangements to make them more open and transparent and to put in place robust safeguards to protect British subjects."
But extradition lawyer Julian Knowles said the problem was not so much the treaty as the US criminal justice system.
He said: "In the US, if you fight your case you quite often get a savage sentence and that's what Mr Tappin was threatened with.
"Many people are just forced to plead guilty because they can't take the risk of fighting the case and losing, and if they plead guilty they get a lesser sentence.
"The problem is the US has such a savage sentencing regime so people whose extradition is sought from the UK feel they have to go back and just give in rather than fight because the price they will pay for fighting is just too high."
Tappin admitted aiding and abetting the illegal export of defence articles in 2012 and was jailed in January 2013.
He was returned to the UK that September and released in 2014.
The former director of Surrey-based Brooklands International Freight Services and former president of Kent Golf Society had denied trying to sell batteries for surface-to-air missiles to be shipped from the US to Tehran.
Mr Ban called on "the government of Sudan to cease all hostilities immediately", saying there could be no no military solution" to the two countries' simmering border dispute.
On Monday Sudanese warplanes dropped bombs near the South Sudanese town of Bentiu, witnesses said.
Later, Sudanese leader Omar al-Bashir ruled out talks with South Sudan.
Mr Bashir was speaking while visiting the oil field and border town of Heglig, which South Sudanese troops had occupied for nearly two weeks.
South Sudan says its forces withdrew from Heglig, but Sudan says it expelled them, killing 1,000 soldiers.
"We will not negotiate with the South's government, because they don't understand anything but the language of the gun and ammunition," Reuters news agency quoted Mr Bashir as telling troops on his arrival in Heglig.
By James CopnallBBC News, Bentiu
First came the throbbing noise of a jet engine. Then the dull thump of one, then several, explosions.
People ran into sturdy buildings. Others, cooler, sauntered into the shade, sure this was not their time to die. From all over Bentiu came the irregular chatter of small arms fire, as soldiers and men in uniform tried to take out the warplane.
The men continued to fire for some time after the sky was clear. It was a futile, one-way conversation. But the jets did not achieve their aim either - the bridge that links Bentiu to Rubkona, and then the oil fields and the disputed border from the north, is still intact.
As on several previous failed attempts, civilians suffered from the bridge's good fortune. At least one was killed, his body a grotesque, mangled lump, in Rubkona market. It is far enough from the bridge for everyone here to believe this was a deliberate attempt to target civilians.
The past few months have seen sporadic fighting in the oil-rich areas along the two countries' undemarcated border, prompting concern the violence could escalate into a full-blown war.
Mr Ban called on Mr Bashir and South Sudanese President Salva Kiir "to stop the slide toward further confrontation and... to return to dialogue as a matter of urgency".
US President Barack Obama has said both countries "must have the courage" to return to the negotiating table and resolve their differences peacefully.
However, Sudan's ambassador to the UN Daffa-Alla Elhag Ali Osman accused the South of "aggression" and said his country had the right to defend itself.
"We have been targeted by... the South. We have every right to militarily repel that attack and aggression," Mr Osman told the BBC's World Today programme.
"Let me make it clear: We will not cross the international border and attack the South... inside their territories," he added.
Sudan's military commander Kamal Marouf said that 1,000 southern soldiers had been killed during the fighting for Heglig, reports the AFP news agency, whose correspondent saw an "uncountable" number of dead bodies wearing South Sudanese military uniforms.
But these casualty figures were rejected by South Sudan's Information Minister, Barnaba Marial Benjamin, who told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that "not even a single SPLA soldier have they killed".
The air raid by Sudanese forces on the South Sudanese border town of Bentiu killed at least one person, according to witnesses.
Taban Deng, governor of Unity state, said the bombs fell on a key bridge, which leads to the border, and a market between the state capital Bentiu and the nearby town of Rubkona.
The witnesses described seeing a huge plume of smoke rising from a market and the body of a dead boy.
Mr Deng said that three civilians had also been critically wounded in the raid and were not expected to survive.
South Sudan's deputy head of intelligence, Mac Paul, described the bombing as a "declaration of war", according to the Associated Press.
The UN Security Council demanded that South Sudan withdraw its forces from Heglig and the neighbouring Abyei regions, as well as a "complete, immediate, unconditional" end to all fighting.
It also called on Sudan to stop aerial bombing raids on South Sudanese territory.
On Sunday, South Sudan's army said its withdrawal from the area was complete.
Satellite pictures of the Heglig area released on Sunday suggest key oil installations were badly damaged in the fighting and are no longer operating.
Meanwhile, South Sudan's President Kiir has arrived in China for a six-day visit during which he will meet his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao.
China has traditionally been an ally of diplomatically-isolated Sudan, but observers say Chinese officials are likely to push for an end to hostilities, as it is the major buyer of oil from both countries
The former rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) has governed South Sudan since it seceded from Sudan after an overwhelming vote in favour of independence in a July 2011 referendum.
The vote was the outcome of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which put an end to the 22-year civil war between the former north and south of Sudan. About 1.5 million people are thought to have lost their lives in the conflict.
The new state took most of the former united Sudan's oil reserves with it, but relies on pipelines to seaports in Sudan to export it.
In January, South Sudan decided to shut down oil production, which provides 98% of the government's revenue, after Khartoum impounded South Sudanese oil shipments amid a dispute over transit fees.
From this summer, GCSE results will begin switching from letter grades such as A* or G to a numerical system, with 9 the highest grade.
The government wants to "promote understanding" of the new grades.
The exams watchdog Ofqual says explaining the new system to the public is "essential".
In a parliamentary written answer, ministers revealed that more than £380,000 would be spent on information for students, parents and employers about the new 9 to 1 grades.
This summer will see pupils getting their English and maths results in numerical grades, with other subjects to convert over the next few years.
It will end letter grades for GCSEs, used since the 1980s.
This switch will apply only in England, with GCSEs awarded in Wales and Northern Ireland to retain their letter grades.
The question about spending on the new format was asked by Labour's former shadow education secretary, Lucy Powell.
She warned that the changes could cause "chaos and confusion" and labelled the switch to number grades as an "expensive vanity project".
"With just weeks to go before GCSE results are announced, parents, business and pupils remain unclear on what these new GCSE grades mean in practice," she said.
The new grading system is intended to send a signal that these are a different type of GCSE, moving away from coursework and modules to results based on final exams.
But there have been warnings over confusion in what will constitute a pass in the new grading arrangements.
There are going to be two different pass grades - a grade 4 as a "standard" pass and a grade 5 as a "strong" pass.
Universities which can require a pass at maths and English GCSE as a requirement have varied in which "pass" they are accepting.
Head teachers' leader Malcolm Trobe said pupils had a good grasp of the new grading system but he thought parents would be less well informed and that employers would be even less aware of the changes.
Professor Jo-Anne Baird, director of the department of education, St Anne's College, University of Oxford, said the cost of the information campaign had been a "drop in the ocean" in the wider costs of exam changes.
"The costs of the examination reforms have been colossal and it is questionable whether it has been worthwhile," said Prof Baird.
"Our examination system is in a perpetual state of reform, caused by different ministers wanting to put their stamp on the system."
A spokesman for Ofqual said 600,000 students would have taken the new GCSEs this summer and it was "essential to communicate these changes to a wide audience, including students, teachers, parents and employers".
"The money has been spent on the development of original films, which have been viewed around 10 million times, as well as printed materials and social media advertising.
"Independent research conducted on our behalf indicates that understanding of the new grades and the reforms has increased as a result of the work we have done."
The 2 Sisters chicken processing factory in Llangefni ends its staff consultation on Wednesday amid plans to cut a whole shift, affecting 300 jobs.
Unite union officials put proposals to factory managers on Tuesday and they are due to meet again on Thursday.
Around 800 people work at the site, including a number of agency workers.
British Medical Association members voted 58% to 42% against the deal.
BMA leaders had urged members to accept the terms, which were announced in May after talks with the government resumed following six strikes.
Government sources told the BBC they were "minded" to impose the deal.
Officials are now assessing the government's legal position, but with an equality impact assessment already carried out that is thought to be a formality.
A final announcement is expected in the coming days.
Following confirmation of the result, BMA junior doctor leader Johann Malawana resigned.
In a letter to members, Dr Malawana said the NHS was lurching "headlong into a wider crisis" that was of the government's making.
"I only hope that the next government realises that this vote is a demonstration of just how appalling frontline staff have been treated and undermined."
The BMA still has a mandate to take strike action, but it will be up to a new junior doctor leader to decide what the next steps are.
Ahead of the result of the vote being announced, senior sources at the BMA had indicated there was little appetite for prolonging the dispute given the climate in the country following the EU vote.
During the voting period, the government has been pushing ahead with introduction of the contract. New rotas are due to start for 6,000 newly qualified doctors in August, with the new pay system due to kick in later in the year.
Much of the rest of the 55,000-strong junior doctor workforce are then due to be moved on to the new contract from that point onwards. The government has yet to confirm whether there will be any change to these plans, with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt only saying the outcome of the vote will now be considered.
In May it was announced that talks at conciliation service Acas had finally resulted in a deal being agreed to end the long-running dispute, but the union said it would put the terms and conditions to a vote of members.
More than 100 road shows were organised where union leaders met with members to explain the new deal, which differed substantially from what the government had previously offered.
Instead of dividing the weekend between normal and unsocial hours, a system of supplements to be paid depending on how many weekends a doctor works over the course of a year was drawn up.
But many members remained unconvinced, believing it still did not properly reward them for the demands of the job, while they remained sceptical that the government's plans for a seven-day service would be properly funded.
December 2012 - The government invites the BMA for talks over new contract
October 2014 - BMA withdraws from talks
July 2015 - Independent pay review body publishes recommendations for a new contract
August 2015 - BMA refuses to re-enter talks
November 2015 - The government makes contract offer to junior doctors and BMA announces strikes
December 2015/January 2016 - Talks re-start at conciliation service Acas and strike for 1 December called off
January 2016 - First of four strikes, involving emergency cover being provided, is held
February 2016 - Ministers announce imposition of contract following second strike
April 2016 - First-ever all-out strike by doctors held in the history of the NHS
May 2016 - Talks restart after intervention by leaders at the royal colleges of medicine and a contract is finally agreed
July 2016 - BMA members vote to reject the contract
GP trainee Dr Francesca Silman, from London, said she voted against the new deal because of worries over working hours.
Dr Silman, who is part of the campaign group Justice for Health, said: "Moving forward, the government must now acknowledge that it is not possible to provide a seven-day NHS without extra staff and funding.
"That it is not possible to create a contract that doctors feel is safe, by stretching the current workforce."
Danny Mortimer, chief executive, NHS Employers, who was one of the government's chief negotiators in the talks, said: "I am profoundly disappointed the BMA has rejected the proposed new contract for junior doctors.
"It is imperative that patients will not be made to suffer any further impact as a result of the rejection of the contract."
The vote was open to 54,000 BMA members - junior doctors and medical students in their final two years of their degree. Over two thirds took part.
Labour Shadow Health Secretary Diane Abbott said: "Today is yet another sorry episode in the saga of the government's mishandled negotiations with junior doctors."
Katherine Murphy, of the Patients Association, added: "There have been no winners in this ongoing dispute, instead it's patients who have been the losers."
The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and 68 Russian athletes attempted to overturn the suspension, implemented by the body that governs world athletics.
But the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) has ruled it can stand.
A handful of Russian athletes could still compete as neutrals at the Rio Games, which start on 5 August.
"It's sad but rules are rules," said Olympic 100m and 200m champion Usain Bolt, who is targeting more gold medals in Rio.
He said it was important to send a strong message to the dopers.
"Doping violation in track and field is getting really bad," said the Jamaican, 29. "If you cheat or go or against the rules, this will scare a lot of people."

However, Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva, 34 - one of the 68 to appeal to Cas - said the ruling was "a blatant political order", while the Russian Foreign Ministry called it a a "crime against sport".
Isinbayeva, who won Olympic gold in 2004 and 2008 and bronze in 2012, told the Tass news agency: "Thank you all for this funeral for athletics."
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said it was "pleased Cas has supported its position", adding that the judgement had "created a level playing field for athletes".
IAAF president Lord Coe added: "This is not a day for triumphant statements. I didn't come into this sport to stop athletes from competing.
It would be naive to assume that what we're going to watch in Rio will be entirely clean, but today - at least - it got cleaner
"Beyond Rio, the IAAF taskforce will continue to work with Russia to establish a clean safe environment for its athletes so that its federation and team can return to international recognition and competition."
Separately, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is considering calls to ban all Russian competitors from the Rio Games following a second report into state-sponsored doping. It found evidence of Russian urine samples being "manipulated" across the "vast majority" of summer and winter Olympic sports from late 2011 to August 2015.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada), which commissioned both independent reports into Russian doping, called on other sports to "consider their responsibilities".
Wada president Craig Reedie said the Cas verdict was about creating a "level playing field", not "punishing some athletes for the actions of others".
Some Russian athletes could compete in Rio as neutrals if they meet a number of criteria, including being repeatedly tested outside their homeland.
At least two - 800m runner and doping whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova and US-based long jumper Darya Klishina - have gone down that path.
Now the ruling by a three-person Cas panel has cleared the way for others.
Cas said the ROC could still nominate athletes to compete as neutrals. However, a Cas spokesman said the panel had expressed concerns that this left "no possibility" for athletes to comply with the criteria.
Three lawyers from Italy, Britain and the United States, widely regarded as amongst the most experienced judges on the court's list of around 400 approved arbitrators.
The chairman was Milan-based Luigi Fumagalli, who also sat on the panel which upheld Fifa's four-month ban on Uruguay's Luis Suarez for biting Italian defender Georgio Chiellini opponent at the 2014 World Cup.
Retired judge Robert Reid, from England, has chaired disciplinary committees for the Premier League and sat in judgment of Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt's failed appeal to Cas against a ban for fixing.
Finally, Jeffrey Benz from Los Angeles is a former legal adviser to the United States Olympic Committee.
Russia was suspended from track and field events by the IAAF in November 2015 following the publication of an independent World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) report that showed a culture of widespread, state-sponsored doping.
Sports minister Vitaly Mutko apologised for Russia's failure to catch the cheats but stopped short of admitting the scandal had been state-sponsored.
However, another Wada-commissioned report delivered earlier this week - the McLaren report - contained more damaging allegations and suggested senior figures in Russia's sports ministry were complicit in an organised cover-up.
The report implicated the majority of Olympic sports in the cover-up and claimed that Russian secret service agents were involved in swapping positive urine samples for clean ones.
Following Monday's publication of the McLaren report, the IOC faced calls to ban all Russian competitors from the 2016 Olympics and will hold an second emergency meeting on Sunday to decide its course of action.
The Russian authorities have already suggested that they will look at ways to continue legal action.
Following the ruling, sports minister Mutko said Cas had set "a certain precedent" by punishing a collective group for doping offences by individuals.
Mutko, who was implicated in this week's McLaren report said he would not be resigning, and added: "I think there will be further defence of honour and dignity. Athletes may not have time to do this before the Olympic Games, but I think that it is probably time perhaps even to turn to civil courts. After all, these are rules that simply infringe human rights."
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added: "The principle of collective responsibility cannot be acceptable. The news is not very good."

Sir Matthew Pinsent, Britain's four-time Olympic rowing champion:
"I hope the IOC will take courage from the fact there will not be a legal comeback to these decisions. Any other option will be a nonsense."
Louise Hazel, a former Olympic heptathlete from Britain:
"It's a sad business but it's also a step in the right direction. I commend everybody involved for taking a hard line. I'm really pleased to see they have taken a really strong stance and that the ban has been upheld."
Vera Rebrik, a javelin thrower from Ukraine who switched allegiance to Russia following the annexation of Crimea in 2014:
"I don't know whether to laugh or cry... I can't find the words."
Yafai meets 31-year-old Japanese Muranaka in Birmingham.
The 27-year-old became the city's first world champion when he beat Panama's Luis Concepcion in December.
"Unification bouts are very much part of my plan, and sooner rather than later," he said.
"Whatever my team puts in front of me, that's what I'll take. I've got the best team in the business around me who advise me what to do and when to do it, so I listen to them first and foremost.
"But I like to take it all one fight at a time. I've got to concentrate on this fight and then we'll go from there and see what is next."
Muranaka's countryman Naoya Inoue holds the WBO belt, Filipino Jerwin Ancajas is the IBF champion, and Thailand's Wisaksil Wangek claimed the WBC title from Roman Gonzalez in March.
"Ancajas could be the likeliest of unifications, but it depends on when they are available," Yafai added.
"I'd love to fight Gonzalez. Obviously he's the name in the division. In the rematch, which seems to be on the cards, I think he'll beat Wangek convincingly.
"If I had to hold out and have another defence or two before fighting Gonzalez, then I'd do that."
The 24-turbine Stranoch scheme near New Luce and 18-turbine development at Cloich Forest near Peebles have been given the green light.
Economy Secretary Keith Brown agreed with the findings of public inquiry reporters in both cases.
However, a planning appeal over a wind farm at Hag Law near Romanno Bridge has been refused.
Mr Brown said: "Once the Cloich wind farm is operational it will generate £6m for local people and community groups while producing enough electricity to power almost 26,968 homes.
"When complete, the development at Stranoch will power the equivalent of around 34,959 homes and both wind farms will provide a boost to their local economies, creating jobs and supporting local suppliers.
"Renewable energy sources generated more than 57% of gross electricity consumption in Scotland in 2015.
"The growth of onshore wind in recent years has been the key factor in the expansion of renewable energy in Scotland: creating jobs, providing secure and low-carbon energy and delivering significant community benefits."
Hampshire Constabulary was called at 11:46 BST on Sunday to the westbound carriageway between junctions 3 and 2 at Nursling.

The 26-year-old scored six goals in his last five league games, earning him the player of the month award for April.
Boyce has one year left on his contract but says he has ignored speculation about interest from other clubs.
"I try not to let it go to my head, [or] start trying to impress people that are watching you. I'm just happy to be here," Boyce said.
"I just try to forget about it and keep doing what I'm doing on the pitch."
The Northern Ireland international remains the second top scorer in the Premiership with 20 goals, behind Celtic's Scott Sinclair.
His scoring form in April - which included all four goals in the Highland derby victory over Inverness - helped to lift Ross County up to seventh in the Premiership table, seven points clear of second-bottom Motherwell.
Boyce is in his third season at the club after joining from Cliftonville on a free transfer three years ago, after returning to Ireland following a spell with German side Werder Bremen.
"Obviously, when you're getting linked with clubs you're obviously doing something right," Boyce told BBC Scotland.
"I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. I was in Germany and came back to Ireland and found it tough. I didn't think I would probably would have got another chance.
"My family is all happy here and I'm just buzzing to be where I am at the minute and enjoying it."
Boyce admits it has been a frustrating season for County, having missed out on a top six place but he believes they'll finish strongly, on the back of five games unbeaten.
"Every year we go on a wee run where it sort of drives us over the line or pushes us into the top six like we done last year," said the 26 year old. "We hadn't done it this year.
"We've won three and drew two of our last five games and that's cemented our place.
"When we're under pressure we seem to do better. Thankfully we got that run together, the pressure will be off and we can go out and show what we can do."
The world was looking to the US, Mr Obama said, but added that the outbreak required a "global response".
The measures announced included ordering 3,000 US troops to the region and building new healthcare facilities.
Ebola has killed 2,461 people this year, about half of those infected, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.
The announcement came as UN officials called the outbreak a health crisis "unparalleled in modern times".
The funds needed to fight the outbreak have increased 10-fold in the past month and $1bn (£614m) was needed to fight the outbreak, the UN's Ebola co-ordinator said.
Mr Obama said that among other measures, the US would:
Mr Obama called on other countries to step up their response, as a worsening outbreak would lead to "profound political, economic and security implications for all of us".
Ebola only spreads in close contact, and there is no cure and no vaccine. The outbreak began in Guinea last December before spreading to its neighbours Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Mr Obama said the outbreak had reached epidemic proportions in West Africa, as the disease "completely overwhelmed" hospitals and clinics and people were "literally dying on the streets".
Mr Obama announced the sort of help that the WHO, Medecins Sans Frontieres and others have been calling for for many weeks.
The promise of 3,000 American troops to help build treatment centres and train thousands of medical staff in Liberia will be a crucial boost to fighting this epidemic, though much more is needed.
The health systems of the three worst-affected countries are among the weakest in the world and can't deal with this massive outbreak alone.
Several months into this crisis, there are still very few isolation and treatment centres. It means that when infected, people who pluck up the courage to get help are often turned away from medical facilities because there simply isn't room or enough medical staff to treat them.
That means they end up going home and infecting others.
Meanwhile in Guinea, a team of health officials was attacked on Tuesday in a village they were visiting to raise awareness of the illness.
People in Wamey, in the south of the country, threw stones at the team, which included WHO and Red Cross representatives. At least 10 officials were hurt, and several who escaped into the bush are still missing.
This is not the first such incident. There have been many reports of people in the region saying they do not believe Ebola exists, or not co-operating with health authorities, fearing that a diagnosis means certain death.
In Sierra Leone, people are preparing for a three-day lockdown ordered by the government in an attempt to stop the spread of Ebola.
The BBC's Umaru Fofana in the capital Freetown says many residents are stocking up on food.
A number of aid agencies, including MSF, have criticised the lockdown, saying it would not help contain the virus.
Also on Tuesday, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, told a US congressional committee that 10 volunteers in a study on an Ebola vaccine had shown no ill effects from an early stage trial.
Earlier, the WHO welcomed China's pledge to send a mobile laboratory team to Sierra Leone.

How bad can it get?
'Biological war': A week on the Ebola frontline
Italian media say the structures - used in Onna after a devastating 2009 earthquake - are favoured over tents, such as those currently being used, or converted shipping containers.
The 6.2-magnitude quake last Wednesday shattered Amatrice and two other towns in mountains north-east of Rome.
Some 290 people died in the disaster.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi discussed reconstruction plans on Sunday with Renzo Piano, one of Italy's most renowned architects.
The authorities face the challenge of getting survivors into safe, warm accommodation before the winter, which can get very cold in the quake-hit region of the Apennine mountains.
Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper reports (in Italian) that the wooden huts would be erected close to people's damaged or destroyed homes, which is where most of them want to be.
Despite the tented camps, some survivors still prefer to sleep in their cars, near their homes, fearing that looters could steal their possessions amid the rubble.
When the weather gets colder, people will be given temporary rooms in hotels by the sea, before moving into the huts, or "mini-chalets", Amatrice mayor Sergio Pirozzi said.
The wooden huts will have one or two bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom, costing €1,400 (£1,200; $1,564) per square metre (10.7 sq ft). A small hut of 40 sq m would cost about €55,000 - much more than a container of similar size, Corriere della Sera reports.
Jamie Penny shouted at Mr Izzard on several occasions, once threatening to "do" the 54-year-old's house after an altercation.
A month later he yelled to Mr Izzard that he was a "poofter" after seeing him in the street.
Leaving Westminster Magistrates' Court, Penny, who has autism, said: "Eddie Izzard is going to burn in hell."
The 24-year-old, who also has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), was sentenced after being found guilty of two counts of using threatening and abusive words or behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Mr Izzard told Penny's trial he pressed charges to take a stand against "thousands of years of transgender people being aggressively attacked".
Penny, from Pimlico, also damaged a police cell after being arrested, and was sentenced for two previous unrelated charges - bombarding his ex-girlfriend with threatening and abusive phone calls and text messages and damaging her father's car, both of which he pleaded guilty to last month.
Penny's trial heard on 3 April he threatened Mr Izzard in Pimlico telling him "Izzard, we are going to do your house when you are away" when the actor refused him and a friend a ride in his car.
On 4 May, the court heard Penny shouted "you're a poofter" at Mr Izzard across a road near Victoria station.
In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mr Izzard said: "I would like to say that I do not scare easily and I refuse to be easily scared but this has made me very wary of who is on the street and who may be next to me."
Penny, whose prison sentenced was suspended for a year, was also ordered to pay £500 costs and £100 compensation to Mr Izzard.

The Chelsea striker, 19, has joined on a season-long loan and hopes to make a similar impact in the Premier League than he did in the Championship for Bristol City last year, scoring 26 goals.
Fernando Llorente will miss the opening game at Southampton on 12 August, which could see Abraham get an early chance.
"I can't wait, I'm so excited right now," Abraham said.
"I came here to score goals and help the team as much as I can... it's good to score goals, it lifts your confidence going into the season especially and I'm looking forward to it.
"I'm going to prove to the gaffer [Swansea manager Paul Clement] why he brought me in... and I'm going to do my best and try as hard as I can."
Abraham, who scored for England in the semi-final of the Euro Under-21 Championship in June, already has two goals in three pre-season games for Swansea.
While he starred for Bristol City last season on loan, scooping the club's Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year and Top Goalscorer awards, he realises it will be a big step up to the Premier League.
"Of course it's a different level, this is the best league in the world so I know I'm going to come across some world-class players," said Abraham, who signed a new five-year deal with Chelsea during the summer.
"I just want to do the best I can and hopefully to beat last year's goal tally, by all means that's what I'll go for.
"It's a fantastic squad and I'm playing with players I grew up watching, so it's a dream come true.
"I have to show the fans what I'm truly made of and what kind of player I am.
"I score goals but I've got good feet, good pace as well, so I would like to show the fans and help the team as much as I can while I'm here."
Petrol bombs were hurled inside the courthouse and a fire broke out in the office of judge Nikolai Didyk, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported.
Last month the Ukrainian lawyer of one of the two Russians was found dead. He had been kidnapped and brutally beaten.

Alexander Alexandrov and Yevgeny Yerofeyev were captured in eastern Ukraine last May. They are suspected of serving with Russian military intelligence, the GRU.
Russia says they were volunteers who had left active service.
A shaky ceasefire is holding in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian rebels control large swathes of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Western leaders and Nato accuse Russia of helping the rebels with heavy weapons and regular troops - something Moscow has repeatedly denied.
The Kiev fire was quickly extinguished and no vital court documents were damaged, reports say.
Ukraine's chief military prosecutor, Anatoliy Matios, was quoted as saying several men had infiltrated the court premises and hurled several petrol bombs, before fleeing the scene in a car, which was later found abandoned. He called it an attempt to intimidate the judge.
The trial of the two Russians is a high-profile case - they are accused of "terrorism" and waging a war of aggression against Ukraine.
Lawyer Yuriy Hrabovsky was defending Mr Alexandrov but disappeared last month mid-trial. His body was found in a forest 125km (78 miles) south of Kiev.
Ukrainian officials say Mr Alexandrov and Mr Yerofeyev confessed to serving in the Russian special services, but later retracted their confessions.
The two men deny charges of terrorism. Prosecutors have called for life sentences.
During his kidnap, on 6 March, Hrabovsky made a video statement, saying he was giving up defending Mr Alexandrov. Investigators say he appeared to be drugged in the video.
A kidnapper asked him "Why? Why?", to which he replied: "I made a mistake."
He was last seen rushing into his office and grabbing something from the safe, accompanied by an unidentified man, Anna Nemtsova of BBCRussian reports.
Two men have been detained in connection with the murder, but their possible role has not been explained. According to Iosif Bronz, vice-president of the Ukrainian lawyers' union, the murder "looks like a special operation".
At least 147 people died when al-Shabab militants stormed Garissa University in north-eastern Kenya, near Somalia.
The mortuaries in Garissa have been unable to cope, and many of the students killed came from other parts of the country.
Four of the gunmen involved were killed by security forces.
The BBC's Anne Soy saw ambulances leaving the Garissa campus on Friday. Hundreds of survivors are also being sent home, and our correspondent saw students with suitcases boarding buses.
Burials for the Muslims killed in the attack are expected to start taking place.
A dusk-to-dawn curfew has been imposed across north-eastern Kenya.
The masked attackers rampaged through the campus at dawn on Thursday, shooting and shouting "we are al-Shabab".
The heavily armed gunmen killed two security guards first, then fired indiscriminately at students, many of whom were still asleep in their dormitories. They singled out Christians and shot them, witnesses said.
Eric Wekesa, a student at Garissa, told Reuters he locked himself in his room before eventually fleeing.
"What I managed to hear from them is 'We came to kill or finally be killed.' That's what they said."
How attack unfolded
1. Militants enter the university grounds, two guards are shot dead
2. Shooting begins within the campus
3. Students attacked in their classrooms while preparing for exams
4. Gunmen believed isolated in the female dormitories
5. Some students make an escape through the fence
Attack as it happened
Who are al-Shabab?
Who is suspected mastermind?
"It was horrible, there was shooting everywhere," another student, Augustine Alanga told the BBC's Newsday programme.
More than 20 security officers were killed by a sniper at the university, the BBC's Caroline Karobia reports.
The gunmen were eventually cornered in a dormitory by Kenyan security forces. Four of them died when their suicide vests detonated. A fifth gunman was reportedly arrested.
More than 500 students managed to escape.
Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, said it carried out the attack. The group says it is at war with Kenya, which sent troops to Somalia in 2011 to fight the militants.
Al-Shabab was also blamed for the Westgate Mall massacre in Nairobi in 2013 in which 67 people died.
Kenyan authorities are to hold an emergency meeting to assess security in the region. There has been criticism that Garissa should have been better protected.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered "urgent steps" to ensure police recruits could begin training immediately. "We have suffered unnecessarily due to shortage of security personnel," he said.
The government has offered a reward of $53,000 (£36,000) for the man it says planned the killing - Mohamed Kuno, a former Kenyan schoolteacher, now thought to be in Somalia.
Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud condemned the attack, in a statement quoted by Somali state radio.
He said it showed the need for a co-ordinated effort against al-Shabab militants.
"I am sure we will defeat these terrorists. Kenya is a brotherly nation that has extended its support to us, which the terrorists don't want. The aim of the terrorists is to dispirit us, but they will not succeed in that," he said.

Anne Marie Waters, who founded the Sharia Watch pressure group and has called Islam "evil", has been allowed to stand in UKIP's leadership election.
Mike Hookem said he was not prepared to "turn a blind eye" to extremism.
He resigned after UKIP chief whip Stuart Agnew declared his support for Ms Waters.
In a letter to interim UKIP leader Steve Crowther - sent before Ms Waters was passed by the party's national executive as a leadership candidate - Mr Hookem said he was "disturbed" by Mr Agnew's support.
In a later statement, he elaborated: "I strongly disagree with the views Ms Waters and Mr Agnew promote and I would like to put as much distance between me and them as possible."
He said he was not a racist and would not support someone "who seeks to single out a section of our society simply due to their religious beliefs".
Mr Hookem subsequently told the BBC News Channel: "I believe she should not be in the party and she should not be standing as a candidate.
"She could not stand for a Westminster seat because she was not a member of good standing.
"She could not stand as a Police and Crime Commissioner as she was not a member of good standing - and now suddenly she's standing for the top job."
Mr Hookem continued: "It doesn't make sense. God forbid she does become leader."
He said he would not quit the party if Ms Waters was elected, but he would not support her.
Ms Waters believes her anti-Islam message, including a proposed ban on the burka, the closure of all Sharia councils and a temporary freeze on all immigration, will strike a chord with many voters.
But fellow MEP Nathan Gill has said he would leave the party if she became leader.
"She shouldn't be a member of this party, but we are where we are," he said.
"If she was elected, I would have to leave."
Former leader Nigel Farage has warned that UKIP will be "finished" if it becomes an anti-Islam party.
But the party's deputy leader, Peter Whittle, said it was right that Ms Waters be allowed to stand.
Mr Whittle - who is also competing to be leader - said she had passed the vetting process.
"If you get through that then you should be allowed to stand," he said.
Mr Whittle told the Today programme he was concerned by the number of Sharia courts in the UK.
"There is one law in this country and that is British law," he said, denying it was an anti-Islamic viewpoint.
He added that he was for a "cohesive multi-ethnic society ... united under British values and British laws", adding that multiculturalism had led to "a more fragmented society".
Voting papers will be sent to party members over the next few weeks and the new leader will be announced at the party's annual conference in Torquay, held on 29 and 30 September.
Mr Whittle and Ms Waters are among 11 candidates vying to be leader after Paul Nuttall - who has previously said Ms Waters' views made him "uncomfortable" - stood down after UKIP's poor performance in June's general election.
The 11 candidates are (in alphabetical order):
Firefighters were called to the semi-detached house in Llandow village at about 15:45 GMT on Friday.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the roof was "well alight" when four crews and a water bowser arrived.
The fire, which caused extensive damage to the roof and first floor, has since been put out. There are no reports of any injuries.
Meanwhile, three crews were called to a house in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent, after the roof was seen on fire at about 15:35.
It's Pi Day, a once-a-century calendar date, but one which only works if you use the American way of writing dates out.
In the US the month and day are round the other way - so Saturday is 3-14-15 and so are the first five digits of the mathematical constant pi: 3.141592653.
The next time that happens in that way will be in March 2115.
But in the UK we write down dates with the day first, so Saturday is 14-3-15 and Pi Day doesn't work.
But hey - who are we to burst the #PiDay bubble.
For everyone else, University of California mathematician Edward Frenkel explains why they're celebrating.
"It's a portal into this magical mysterious world of mathematics," he says. "Pi is special."
Pi, if you were wondering, is the constant used to calculate the area of a circle, as in pi times the radius squared, but it appears all over other parts of mathematics.
Welshman William Jones became the first person to use the Greek letter π to represent Pi in 1706.
And it is a basic atomic building block for maths, according to Temple University mathematician John Paulos in America.
In some places, Pi Day is celebrated with the edible type of pie.
"It's a real exciting moment for maths enthusiasm," said Nathan Kaplan, a Yale University maths professor.
He's called it a time for people to "remember how much fun they found some of the stuff in school".
One interesting aspect of pi is that it is irrational, which means the decimals after 3 go on to infinity with no repeating patterns.
"We cannot change it. It's not subject to opinion or taste or time," said Frenkel.
"How many things like this in the universe mean the same thing to everyone through time and space?"

The ceremony was adjusted last year so that the then 90-year-old monarch could use a lift rather than walk up some stairs.
This year it will be a pale shadow of its former self.
A "dressed down" head of state will turn up in what is described in certain circles as a "day dress". And a hat.
Missing will be any robes and the Imperial State Crown will be present, but the Queen won't be wearing it.
Constitutional purists may be further troubled by the absence of any carriages.
The reduction in pomp is being blamed on time pressures and the need to rehearse properly.
Trooping the Colour will take place two days before the State Opening of Parliament, which is scheduled for 19 June.
Officials insist the temporary changes have nothing to do with the Queen's age.
Normal ceremonial service will resume next year.
Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said the multi-billion pound commitment would be a "central plank" of Labour's next manifesto.
"The communities who stand to lose out most from Brexit must be looked after first," she told Labour's conference.
The government has said it will guarantee EU-funded projects signed before November's Autumn statement.
It has also said agricultural funding now provided by the EU will continue until 2020.
Ms Thornberry told conference delegates in Liverpool the government's offer was "hedged in conditions" and claimed it had "said nothing" about after 2020.
"Without long-term certainty over funding, our most deprived regions and communities cannot plan ahead. They cannot attract other investment. They cannot make progress," she said.
"So thanks to John McDonnell, Labour's shadow chancellor, we can guarantee that a future Labour government will make up any shortfall in structural funding into the 2020s and beyond."
Regions likely to benefit most from the scheme would be Wales, which is allocated £2.1bn under the current seven-year programme.
South west England is due to receive £1.3bn and the North West has been allocated £979m.
In her speech, Ms Thornberry also praised Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who was re-elected on Saturday, and accused the government of having "no plan" for Brexit.
"We cannot turn the clock back and run the Brexit vote again. We have been given our instructions by the British people and we must act on them," she said, promising Labour would "stand up" for EU migrants, UK businesses and workers' rights.
Labour also committed itself to opposing any attempts by the government to scrap any of the legal rights and funding programmes derived from Britain's membership of the EU.
It will publish a document setting out the full range of such benefits, saying regional funding is "one of the most directly and imminently under threat from the Tory government".
It will say: "The Labour Party therefore commits that - as a central plank of our future manifesto and budget plans - we will establish a properly-managed domestic fund for less prosperous regions currently in receipt of EU structural funds, and we will ensure that level of funding is protected in full, into the 2020s and beyond.
"Funding this commitment will be our top priority for allocating the estimated net savings deriving from Britain's withdrawal from the EU."
The procession, which included floats, pipe bands and dancers, set off at 12:00 GMT in the Digbeth area of the city.
Last year, more than 80,000 people turned out to celebrate the occasion.
The parade, which has passed through Digbeth since 1996, is regarded as the third largest in the world after those in New York and Dublin.
This year's celebrations have been taking place on the actual date of St Patrick's Day and have the theme of The Gathering, which organisers say is about encouraging people of Irish descent to visit the county, town and or village of their ancestry.
Pat Murphy-Wright, cultural development officer for the charity Irish in Birmingham, said: "The parade is about people embracing their roots and helps to teach children at local schools about their cultural background."
John Lines, the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, told BBC News the celebrations were going really well.
He said: "The weather looks fine and everyone's smiling. Such wonderful costumes - people must have spent all year preparing for this.
"Aren't we lucky in Birmingham?"
The Scot, 24, won silver medals in the 500m and 1,000m in Moscow, Russia.
She finished 0.273 seconds behind Fan Kexin of China in the 500m and missed the 1,000m gold by 0.052 secs, with South Korea's Choi Minjeong winning.
Christie's participation in Moscow had been in doubt after her paternal grandmother died earlier this month.
GB Short Track performance director Stuart Horsepool said: "I'm really proud of Elise."
Christie won the European title earlier this year and stormed to victory at the World Cup in Turkey last month.
She said: "Under the circumstances, I'm really pleased with silver, but I believe I could have got more out of it if my head was in a different place."
Christie was controversially denied medals in each of her three events at last year's Sochi Winter Olympics.
She became the first British woman to win an individual short track speed skating world medal by finishing third at the 2013 Championships in Hungary.
Briton Wilf O'Reilly won a gold and silver at the 1990 and 1991 World Championships.
Tricia Lorenz, a patient at the North West Regional Spinal Injuries Centre in Southport Hospital, married her partner of four years, Steve McEntee.
Ms Lorenz, from Wrexham, north-east Wales, was left paralysed and on a ventilator following a medical procedure in March last year. She has been in hospital since.
About 50 family and friends gathered to watch the couple take their vows.
Staff from the spinal unit also joined in the celebrations.
Special permission from the registrar was given for the couple to marry in the centre's day room.
Suppliers to Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust donated the food.
Ms Lorenz said: "We've had such a lovely day. Steve and I would like to say thank you to all the staff who have made our wedding possible, and to our family and friends who have travelled here to be with us."
Her husband is supervising the adaptation of his home in Frodsham, Cheshire, for when she can leave hospital.

JacobTaute crossed the line either side of Andrew Conway's score and the hosts were awarded a penalty, with Rhys Buckley hitting back for the Dragons.
Munster led 31-10 at the break before Elliott Dee's converted try gave the visitors hope of a comeback.
But this was Munster's night as Dave Kilcoyne and Ronan O'Mahony touched down to seal a six-try win.
Munster began well and out-half Tyler Bleyendaal kicked their first penalty although the Welsh side responded through a Dorian Jones penalty.
It was 3-3 after 11 minutes but the Munster forwards put in all the work before Duncan Williams' pass sent Taute over for a try in the 14th minute.
Bleyendaal converted and then brilliantly set up Conway's converted try - the fly-half intercepted a pass near his own line and kicked down-field for Conway to re-gather and touch down.
Munster led 17-3 after 20 minutes and it got worse for the visitors when Springbok Taute scored his second try in the 28th minute.
Bleyendaal added the extras again and despite a consolatory try from Buckley in the 37th minute, Munster secured the bonus point before half-time.
Williams' pass was about to send replacement Dan Goggin over in the corner, but a deliberate knock-on from Carl Meyer meant that the Dragons number 15 got yellow and Munster had a penalty try.
Munster led by 21 points at half-time but after Darren O'Shea got a yellow card for a shoulder charge on Jones at ruck-time, the Dragons pressurised their opponents and mauled their way over the home side's line for Dee's try in the 59th minute.
Dragons trailed 31-17 at that stage and the losing bonus point was in sight but Kilcoyne touched down in the 64th minute and O'Mahony in the dying seconds.
Munster: Conway, Sweetnam, Taute, Scannell, R. O'Mahony, Bleyendaal, Williams, Kilcoyne, Marshall, Archer, Kleyn, Foley, D. O'Callaghan, O'Donnell, O'Donoghue.

Jeremy Middleton said the new role should be free from "party politics", with voters expected to go to the polls in May 2017.
The position is being created as part of the government's Northern Powerhouse plan.
Labour accused him of "acting in self-interest" over fears voters would be turned off by his Tory links.
Mr Middleton, a former parliamentary candidate and ex-chairman of the Conservative National Convention, told the BBC the North East had "suffered from London Westminster politics".
The 55-year-old said: "I want to challenge the government about the deal we have for the North East. I also want to challenge our local leaders.
"The region has been let down. If you look at our situation in relation to Scotland or in the way we've come to devolution late, you see our quality of leadership is poor."
He announced his intention to stand as a Conservative in February, but now says the contest is being used "to fight party political battles".
Mr Middleton is the only candidate in the region to have so far put himself forward for the position.
Jude Kirton-Darling, Labour Member of the European Parliament for the North East of England, said: "This is Jeremy Middleton seeing Jeremy Middleton's best interests.
"Somebody who stood eight times as a candidate for the Conservative Party and failed eight times is obviously concerned that if he stood as a Conservative candidate he might fail to become the mayor of the North East. This is self-interest really, not above party politics."
During this period, cash tills in shops hardly stop ringing as the mainland tourists flock to the international designer labels, snapping up luxury branded goods.
It is a "golden period" for retailers and other businesses, which would generally see a boost to their bottom lines.
But recent events have taken the shine off the beginning of this year's Golden Week.
Since the weekend, tens of thousands of protesters in the Occupy Central movement have stationed themselves in several parts of Hong Kong for pro-democracy rallies in the lead-up to China's National Day, despite a call by Hong Kong leader CY Leung to work with Beijing.
And that could pose a threat to Hong Kong's retail and tourism sectors.
"It is believed that some visitors will postpone or even cancel their plans to visit Hong Kong for the time being," the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) told the BBC, without giving any details.
"The HKTB has been closely monitoring the development of the movement."
Based on the tourism board's records, international visitor arrivals into Hong Kong, including from the mainland, during the Golden Week have been increasing by a minimum of 10% over the last few years.
"Naturally, the protests will put a dent on tourism from the mainland, but bear in mind that in general October is not peak season for mainland visitors to Hong Kong," says David Yang, who covers political and regulatory risks at consultancy firm IHS.
"Golden Week brings a slight bump, but by my estimate it amounts to a modest extra 100,000 to 200,000 visitors."
Mr Yang says the category most likely to be affected are tour groups coming to Hong Kong for overnight stays, who make up about a third of the mainland tourist traffic.
"In a 'normal' year, about 30,000 to 60,000 extra mainland visitors would arrive with tour groups during the Golden Week. According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the average overnight visitor spends 8,123 Hong Kong dollars ($1,046; £644) during his or her stay."
He adds that the sectors most likely to be affected are retail, food and drink, and accommodation. "The impact will last for as long as protests continue."
The protesters want China to withdraw plans to vet candidates for the next Hong Kong leadership election in 2017. Their rallies have gathered at the main sites in the Central business district (Connaught Road), Causeway Bay and Mongkok.
Around the corner from the protest area in the city's Central, Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) houses more than 100 bars, restaurants and retailers. The bustling entertainment and shopping district ranks high among the places to visit in Hong Kong and comes alive after sundown.
Allan Zeman, chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Group which manages the district, told the BBC that businesses within LKF generally see a 20% boost to their revenues in the month of October, from the extra tourists flowing through Hong Kong during China's Golden Week.
But that could change this year.
When the protests began, several restaurants and bars decided to close earlier than usual, says Mr Zeman. "Obviously safety is our first priority."
The number of revellers and patrons in the area has dropped by about 15%.
"There will be an impact from the protests, but not too much," he says. That is because even though the number of tour groups may have dropped, they are not the main customers at LKF. Instead, the group's typical customer is "the FIT" (Free Individual Traveller).
Despite the proximity to the protest zones, Mr Zeman is confident there will be no spillover from the demonstrators.
"We are an entertainment and dining district, and we do not anticipate Occupy Central will move into LKF. It is not a political place and we also have a lot of experience dealing with crowds."
Not everyone is cancelling their planned trip to Hong Kong though.
Curtis Bergh, a Singapore-based businessman from the US, travels to Hong Kong about four times a year, for both business and leisure.
Last week he booked a 10-day trip to Hong Kong starting on 2 October. He is still going ahead with the trip.
"I don't feel it's necessary to cancel my trip as the protests are still quite concentrated in certain areas of Hong Kong and most of my plans and activities are away from the protest zones," he says.
"I've adjusted my itinerary to avoid the protest areas as much as possible. I'll just have to keep an eye out on the situation as it is very fluid, and adjust my movements and plans accordingly."
While tourism is one area of economic growth for Hong Kong, it is not the main driver.
"More important to Hong Kong are domestic retail spending, banking and finance, and social services," says David Kuo, director at investment advisory firm Motley Fool Singapore.
He says that as the protests have been well contained to parts of Central and Mong Kok, and have generally been promoted as being friendly and good-natured, they "should do little to affect the rest of the country or its position as a place to do business".
And he points out that China, politically, needs Hong Kong more than it would like to admit.
"Hong Kong, with its sound legal framework, freedom of speech and fair judicial system, is and will remain, the acceptable face of China to the outside world."
He adds: "There could be a short-term impact on tourism but it is something that Hong Kong has learnt to weather over the years. Hong Kong people are a resilient bunch." | Colombian Nairo Quintana has taken the overall lead at the Giro d'Italia with two stages of the race remaining.

Peter Greste arrived in Cairo in December 2013. Two weeks later, his room in the Marriott hotel was raided and, along with two colleagues from the al-Jazeera TV news network, Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and Baher Mohammad, he was thrown into the notorious Tora Prison.
They were not the first journalists from al-Jazeera to feel the force of the Egyptian state.
During the second half of 2013, a number of reporters, cameramen and producers from the Qatar-based media organisation had been arrested, beaten up and had their equipment confiscated.
But most were held for a short time before being released.
The army-backed regime of interim President Adly Mansour regarded al-Jazeera as sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood, which had been deemed a terrorist organisation after Egyptian President and Brotherhood member Mohamed Morsi was deposed by the military in July 2013.
The authorities accused Greste and the others of falsifying news and having a negative impact on overseas perceptions of Egypt - but it was clear the underlying accusation was one of backing the Muslim Brotherhood.
"How do you accurately and fairly report on Egypt's ongoing political struggle without talking to everyone involved?" Peter Greste wrote.
"We had been doing exactly as any responsible, professional journalist would - recording and trying to make sense of the unfolding events with all the accuracy, fairness and balance that our imperfect trade demands."
29 December 2013: Peter Greste, Bader Mohamed and Mohammed Fadel Fahmy arrested
February 2014: Put on trial in Cairo on terrorism-related offences
23 June: Convicted and jailed for seven to 10 years
There were hopes that Greste and his colleagues would be released quickly. The campaign at first was low-key - discussions behind the scenes - but it soon became clear that the three were in for the long haul.
As the days and weeks went by, the clamour for the men's release grew.
Members of Peter Greste's family shuttled between Australia and Cairo, lobbying for his release.
There were protests around the world from governments, the United Nations and fellow journalists.
From prison, Greste wrote:
"Our arrest doesn't seem to be about work at all, it seems to be about staking out what the government here considers to be normal and acceptable. Anyone who applauds the state is seen as safe and deserving of liberty. Anything else is a threat that needs to be crushed."
Before one court hearing in February, Peter Greste's brother, Andrew, described the cell his brother and the two others were being held in:
"It was approximately 3m (10ft) square. There's a single bed on one wall and a double bunk bed on another wall. Then there's a small ablutions, you know, screened-off toilet area. So conditions are, you know, pretty tough."
After six months, the men were put on trial.
Striking images of Greste and his colleagues in a steel cage inside the court room were beamed around the world.
Then, in late June, came the verdict - all three men were found guilty. Peter Greste and Mohamed Fadel Fahmy were sentenced to seven years in prison; Baher Mohammad got 10 years.
Peter Greste's family was devastated.
Both brothers were in court for the verdict.
"I'm just stunned," said Andrew Greste, as police jostled reporters from the courtroom. "It's difficult to comprehend how they can have reached this decision."
In Australia, Greste's father, Juris, said only: "That's crazy, that's crazy, that's absolutely crazy,".
The international outcry was substantial.
US Secretary of State John Kerry described the verdicts as "chilling and draconian", a day after he had met newly-elected President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and the United States had restored economic and military aid to Egypt.
The human rights group, Amnesty International, called the decision a "dark day" for press freedom.
It said: "The prosecution failed to produce a single shred of solid evidence linking the journalists to a terrorism organisation or proving that they had 'falsified' news footage."
But Egypt's leaders were unmoved. President Sisi said he would not interfere with the judicial process.
And so the three men began the long process of preparing their appeals.
But at the beginning of November, there was a chink of light in the case.
President Sisi issued a decree permitting convicted foreigners to serve their sentences in their own countries. At that point, Peter Greste's parents gave the announcement a cautious welcome.
Speculation grew over whether the regime was considering a change of heart as the January date for the appeals to be heard drew closer.
In the event, appeals judges ordered a retrial, with the prosecution acknowledging that there were major problems with the verdicts.
Then, after a day of rumours, Peter Greste was deported on 1 February, while the fate of his colleagues remained unclear.
The Egyptian authorities may be hoping that they can begin to rebuild their reputation internationally.
But human rights groups are swift to point out that thousands of political prisoners remain incarcerated in Egypt's jails. Where, they ask, is the outcry for them? | It was meant to be a routine three-week deployment from his base in Nairobi to cover the ongoing see-saw that is Egyptian politics. | 30,517,250 | 1,188 | 30 | false |
Some officers were given a standing authority to carry guns following the creation of a single Scottish force.
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) agreed to the principle that officers should not carry firearms on regular duties.
A report criticised a lack of consultation and the effect on the public's perception of the force.
Strathclyde Police, Tayside Police and Northern Constabulary allowed specialist officers to carry guns on routine patrol before the creation of the new single force.
The approach was adopted across the country in April last year.
Earlier this year by independent MSP and former Northern Constabulary officer John Finnie raised concerns about the rollout of the policy.
Highland councillors have also questioned the deployment of officers visibly carrying handguns in routine incidents in a region with low levels of violent crime.
The Cosla report, backed unanimously by council leaders meeting in Edinburgh, invited them to agree "to the principle that police officers should not carry firearms on regular duties".
It also asked leaders to agree to write to Police Scotland to seek clarification and respond to three separate reviews of the policy being carried out by Police Scotland, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority.
The report accepts that the deployment of armed officers is an operational matter decided by the chief constable.
But it notes that there is "no clear recourse for local government, or indeed Scottish government, to hold the chief constable to account" if there is dissatisfaction.
It also suggests inviting Police Scotland Chief Constable Sir Stephen House to a meeting with council leaders.
Police Scotland has said that it has 275 firearms officers - 1.6% of the force's personnel - and they are deployed on a shift pattern basis.
For every 1,000 officers there will be 10 officers armed and on shift.
These specialist officers carry a Taser stun gun and a holstered handgun.
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "Decisions on the use of resources, including armed police officers, are clearly a matter for the Chief Constable of Police Scotland.
"However, it is important there is appropriate oversight to ensure transparency in decision making and to reassure the public and Parliament, which is why scrutiny of Police Scotland is in place through the statutory role of the SPA as well as the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner and HMICS.
"In addition, the Parliament's Justice Sub-Committee on Policing is able to scrutinise all aspects of policing in Scotland and is currently looking at the issue of armed policing in more detail."
Peter Liang could face up to 15 years in prison for killing Akai Gurley.
Advocates for police accountability have closely watched the case because US police officers who injure or kill civilians rarely face criminal charges.
Gurley's death in 2014 came amid several high-profile cases in which officers killed unarmed black men.
The deaths of black men such as Eric Garner of New York and Michael Brown of Missouri sparked protests across the US.
Authorities declined to bring charges against the officers involved in those cases.
The officer's supporters have said Liang, who is Chinese American, is being made a scapegoat for previous injustices. His defence team said the shooting was an accident, not a crime.
However, prosecutors said Liang, a newly recruited officer, handled his weapon recklessly and did little to help Gurley after he was shot.
"Instead of shining a light, he pointed his gun and shot Akai Gurley," prosecutor Joe Alexis said in his closing argument.
Liang, 28, testified that he was patrolling a stairwell inside a public housing complex in Brooklyn when he was startled by a sound and fired his weapon by mistake.
The bullet ricocheted off the wall and hit Gurley, 28, who was standing on a lower floor.
"I was panicking. I was shocked and in disbelief that someone was hit," said Liang who wept during his testimony.
In recent years, it has become not only the largest but also one of the most internationally recognised firms in Latin America.
It has discovered huge deep-water oil reserves, which experts predict could turn Brazil into a top energy player.
And in one of the biggest share sales in history it raised $70bn in 2010.
But recent investigations by the Brazilian Federal Police and public prosecutors have added an unfortunate addition to this record.
They have put Petrobras at the centre of what is thought to be one of the biggest corruption scandals in Brazil's history.
"This [scandal] may change the country forever," President Dilma Rousseff acknowledged during the recent G20 summit in Australia.
A number of Petrobras directors are accused of taking bribes from construction companies and funnelling funds to parties of the ruling coalition.
The investigation - dubbed Operation Car Wash - actually started eight months ago. But it was only in recent days that it became clear how far it might go.
Last Friday, Brazilian Police carried out raids across six Brazilian states.
They arrested 23 people - among them, the former Petrobras Service director Renato Duque and 19 presidents and executives of some of the country's largest construction and engineering firms.
Apart from the allegation of bribing Petrobras employees, the companies are accused of forming a cartel to drive up the prices of major Petrobras infrastructure projects.
The large number of prominent Brazilian businessmen detained was unprecedented for an anti-corruption investigation.
Values involved in the scandal are breathtaking.
According to the Brazilian Federal Police the group under investigation moved more than $3.9bn in what police describe as "atypical" financial transactions.
Brazilian Courts blocked around $270m in assets belonging to various suspects and federal agents revealed contracts worth $22bn are regarded as suspicious.
Former Petrobras director Paulo Roberto Costa, who worked at the company from 2004 to 2012, has told investigators that politicians received a 3% commission on contracts signed during this period.
On Tuesday the Brazilian press reported that, as part of a deal to avoid detention, one Petrobras manager, Pedro Barusco, agreed to return $100m to the company.
On the eve of Friday's raids, Petrobras was obliged to announce that it would have to delay the publication of its third quarter results due to the investigation.
According to the news agency Agencia Estado, the auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers refused to sign off the firm's results.
Market analysts and investment banks say the impact on the Brazilian oil giant could be enormous.
Morgan Stanley, for instance, estimates it could have slashed the value of the company's assets by $8.1bn.
UBS estimated the damage may amount to something between $10bn and $15bn.
The scandal at Petrobras began to unravel as a result of the confession of Costa and black-market currency dealer Alberto Youssef - accused of money laundering, and both men's images are now a daily part of the Brazilian news cycle.
The two were first arrested in March and were the first to enter a plea bargain deal with the prosecutors - a strategy that is likely to be extended to other suspects.
Federal Police say nine of Brazil's biggest construction firms are now under investigation: Camargo Correa, OAS, UTC, Odebrecht, Mendes Junior, Engevix, Queiroz Galvao, Iesa and Galvao Engenharia.
The group includes some of the most important donors to political party campaigns.
And as the next phase of the operation is set to focus on politicians favoured by the scheme, local newspapers have reported that the raids have created an atmosphere of panic in the capital Brasilia.
"In the short term, the scandal puts new pressure over the recently re-elected government of President Dilma Rousseff - already troubled by weak economic growth and inflation rates that are too close to the top of the Central Bank's target," says Adriano Pires, from the Brazilian Infrastructure Center (CBIE).
"In the medium and long term, however, this scandal may impose a major overhaul of the relationship between private companies, politicians and state-run firms in Brazil," Pires adds, pointing to regulations in the area of campaign financing.
Ms Rousseff herself chaired the Petrobras board of directors from 2003 to 2010, although she denies knowledge of any wrongdoing, and stresses her government's full backing for the investigation, and determination that wrongdoers will be punished.
According to public prosecutors, the corruption scheme has been in operation at Petrobras for at least 15 years - and if that is true it would have pre-dated the Workers' Party government.
The impact of the case on the country's growth prospects is as yet unclear.
Economist Silvio Campos Neto, from the Consultancy firm Tendencias, is very pessimistic.
"This is the most important company in the country and at times when we are struggling to recover growth, such a huge bribery scandal will not give a positive message to potential investors," he says.
Sergio Lazzarini, a professor at the business school Insper, however, has a slightly more positive view.
He says corruption is an endemic problem in emerging markets: "At least this scandal shows that Brazil has strong institutions, which are able to investigate and expose a case that involves powerful businessmen and politicians."
The county council's cabinet has voted to replace the current three-tier system in Alnwick with two tiers.
Lindisfarne, The Duke's, Seahouses and St Paul's middle schools will shut and the county's first schools will expand to take children up to 11.
Branton Community and Embleton Vincent Edwards CofE first schools, previously proposed for closure, will instead expand to become primary schools.
The Duchess Community High School being built in Alnwick will convert to a secondary school on one site and add 11 and 12 year olds to its current 13-18-year-old intake.
Seahouses Middle School has fought stay open.
Northumberland County Council said it had reviewed existing provision at the request of schools, in order to consider the impact of any individual changes on other schools in the area.
It had "no plans to alter school structures" across the county but would consider similar consultations in other areas if asked by schools, it said.
The council pledged to allocate about ??9.6m to support school alterations.
McGovern replaces Kevin Cuthbert, who did not agree terms after a starring role in the penalty shoot-out win over Hibernian that secured promotion.
Hamilton hope to announce another new arrival later this week.
Neil, who succeeded Billy Reid last year, has signed a new one-year rolling deal with the Premiership newcomers.
Dougie Imrie became Accies first summer signing on Saturday, the forward returning to the club after a spell with Morton.
Now they have added 29-year-old McGovern, who had spent three years with Falkirk, on a one-year contract.
The goalkeeper, capped once by Northern Ireland and who started his career with Celtic before spells with Dundee United and Ross County, was in the losing side as Accies beat the Bairns in the promotion play-off semi-final.
MacDonald joined Clyde after leaving Motherwell in 2012 but rejected the offer of a new contract after the Bully Wee missed out on promotion from League Two after a play-off defeat by East Fife.
He made 42 appearances last season, scoring five goals for the Cumbernauld club.
The 31-year-old Cuthbert, previously of St Johnstone, Morton and Ayr United, had been with Accies since 2012 and made 43 appearances last season.
While he exits, 33-year-old midfielder Neil has extended his stay at New Douglas Park after guiding Accies to promotion in his first season in charge.
They narrowly missed out on the Championship title to Dundee on the final day of the league season then defeated Falkirk and Hibs in play-off matches to secure a return to the top flight after a three-year absence.
The remains were accompanied by Karen's parents and brothers on a special flight from Glasgow.
Ms Buckley's funeral will take place in the north Cork village of Mourneabbey on Tuesday afternoon.
The qualified nurse moved to Glasgow in February to study occupational therapy at Glasgow Caledonian University.
She went missing following a night out at the Sanctuary nightclub in Glasgow's west end on 11 April.
Her body was later found by police at High Craigton Farm, Drymen.
Alexander Pacteau, 21, from Glasgow, has appeared in court charged with Ms Buckley's murder.
The initiative introduces nine "pillars" that the government will expand on, in its push to try to bridge the country's digital divide. Prasanto K Roy explains the significance of each pillar and what challenges the government faces in trying to implement them.
Digital India aims to have broadband networks that will span India's cities, towns and 250,000 villages by end-2016, along with a system of networks and data centres called the National Information Infrastructure.
The vision is grand.
If successful, it could transform citizen access to multimedia information, content and services. It also gives the government access to a great deal of information.
However, laying cables doesn't ensure they will be used.
After years of broadband and nationwide fibre-optic infrastructure targets, India remains stuck at a total of 15 million wire line broadband users. Yet mobile broadband use has exploded, currently standing at 85 million users, driven by apps like Facebook and WhatsApp, and the sharing of images and videos.
Experience shows that it is communications and content, not empty pipes, that drive network usage. And manufacturing content is not a government strength.
This project needs content and service partnerships with telecom companies and other firms, with new entrepreneurs.
This focuses on mobile network penetration, with a plan to fill the gaps in connectivity in India by 2018. Though mobile networks have reached most populated parts of India, the last mile is a long one: 42,300 villages still exist outside the reach of a mobile signal.
"Universal access" does not, however, guarantee a working network. Even in its major cities, India's mobile network is so stressed that many say it's broken, with call failures and drops a common complaint.
An intense shortage of spectrum has driven up costs and driven down service quality for India's telecom industry.
But the problem is much bigger than dropped calls. As many as 85% of India's 100 million broadband users are mobile.
As users ramp up multimedia use, and the next 100 million mobile broadband users come on board, networks will not be able to keep up. Digital India needs more spectrum.
This aims to increase the number of government-run facilities (Common Service Centres or CSC) that provide digital services to citizens, especially in remote or rural areas with low connectivity.
The objective is to increase the 140,000 facilities to 250,000, or one in nearly every village. It also aims to convert 150,000 post offices into multi-service centres. The vision is that the longest distance a villager or tribesperson should have to travel should be to the nearest CSC.
This project was first approved in 2006, but moved slowly in its initial years. One of the big boosts from Digital India could be the dramatic ramp-up the mega-project is setting as a target. Citizen services will be one driver of adoption.
Of all the "pillars" of Digital India, this is the oldest and most mature initiative.
For decades, hundreds of e-governance projects have been piloted across India. Many were quick successes that however died out once the chief promoter, often a bureaucrat on a two-year posting, moved on.
The processes and services include digitising manual databases, introducing online applications and tracking, using online repositories for citizen documents, introducing publicly-visible government workflow automation, and public grievance redress.
Experts say that almost every e-governance project that India needs has been successfully piloted somewhere in the country. The daunting task for Digital India will be to take successful pilot projects, replicate and scale them up.
e-Kranti comprises 41 large e-governance initiatives, called "mission mode projects". They span e-education (all schools to get broadband and free wi-fi, as well as MOOCs - Massive Online Open Courses), e-Healthcare and technology for farming, security, financial inclusion, justice, planning and cyber-security.
The sheer scale of these projects helps ensure that they do not meet the fate of most e-governance projects in India, which remain pilots.
Several have been completed successfully, including the overhauled passport service, and the "MCA21" project for company registration from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
This set of web, mobile and social media platforms aims to connect citizens with the government. It is already well under way, both on social media, and the citizen portal MyGov.in.
The present BJP-led government has been widely lauded for its social-media savvy and its use of digital outreach tools. Prime minister Narendra Modi is one of the world's most influential Twitter users, with over 13 million followers (and another 7 million on his official @PMOIndia account)
But critics say that these digital channels are used mostly in broadcast mode, with Mr Modi responding to very few, filtered, questions, and no criticism, especially from media. His supporters say he uses them to connect directly to citizens, bypassing media.
This plan aims for "net zero imports" in electronics, or imports that match exports by value, by 2020.
This is ambitious.
As of now, India stands to import three quarters of the $400bn worth of electronics products it will consume in the next five years. Hardware exports as of now are still under $10bn. This calls for a very big ramp-up in local manufacturing.
The plan includes incentives for big chip fabrication as well for mobile and set-top box manufacturers, and clusters and incubators for start-ups.
That's probably the biggest push and global image makeover being attempted by the Modi government, via its "Make in India" campaign launched last year.
Critics of the programme say that the "manufacturing first" focus can slow progress when the objective should be on something else, like education (such as with the UPA government's Aakaash tablet programme).
There is also a school of thought that "net zero" imports should be seen on a wider canvas - for instance across technology products and services.
India exports nearly $100bn worth of technology and business process services.
This is a project to train 10 million students from smaller towns and villages for IT sector jobs over five years.
Among the plans: Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) locations in every north-eastern state, 300,000 service delivery agents to be trained for IT services, and 500,000 rural workers to be trained by telecom operators for their own needs.
The challenge here is not just the numbers, but quality. The technology sector increasingly finds that the dwindling manpower resources available for its jobs are under-trained and mismatched to its needs.
Most firms are forced to invest a great deal into their own training for "fresher" recruits.
These are the low-hanging fruit, and the projects already under way.
For instance, a new messaging platform for government employees has over 13 million mobiles and 2 million emails in the database; biometric attendance for all central government offices in Delhi, wi-fi in universities and in public locations, eBooks in schools, SMS-based weather information, disaster alerts.
The challenge remains usage.
For instance, the project aims to provide secure email as the primary form of communications within the government, and to the outside world.
Official email has been available for well over a decade in India, though its security is debatable. Yet most government officials and politicians prefer to use personal email services from Gmail and other public providers that can be accessed on their mobile phones.
Most experts see this as a huge risk.
The Oscar winner was promoting her latest film, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, which features a fictional bourbon that serves as a business front for US secret agents.
When it was produced at the Comic-Con event, Berry was poured a large glass which she initially ignored.
But when a fan asked her a difficult question, she chose to drink it.
What was the tough question? She was asked whether her action spy film - which also stars Colin Firth and Taron Egerton - was more British than James Bond.
When Berry said she'd rather drink the whiskey than answer, panel moderator Jonathan Ross led a chant encouraging her to "chug" it.
"Oh I can you know, would you like to see that?" Berry replied and then downed the drink while grimacing and pretended to fall off her chair.
"Kingsman would like to remind you to drink responsibly," Ross said after, adding: "She's a professional, she can handle it."
Here's how it happened in pictures.
After the panel, Berry was asked if it was real bourbon she drank.
"Let that be a mystery to the world," she told Entertainment Tonight. "Never dare a girl like me to do anything, because I just take the challenge."
The sequel to Matthew Vaughn's 2014 film, about the recruitment of a young secret agent, was the first big film to kick off Comic-Con in the San Diego Convention Centre's famous Hall H.
The film's other stars including Egerton, Firth, Channing Tatum, Jeff Bridges and Pedro Pascal were on hand to talk about the movie and give fans a sneak peak of new footage.
As well as a longer trailer which was released just ahead of the panel, three clips were shown - the opening sequence, the introduction of Tatum as Statesman agent Tequila (the American equivalent to the Kingsmen), and the introduction of Julianne Moore as Poppy, the film's villain.
The stars also revealed more about their characters, with Tatum saying he "was begging" to have a part in the sequel as he was a fan of the franchise.
Berry said her character, Ginger Ale, was "kind of the techy, brain, nerdy character", while Firth kept tight-lipped about his role.
Fans of Kingsmen will know the Oscar winner didn't make it to the end of the first film alive, although he appears in the sequel.
"It's all a mystery to me, really. I mean, I'm in the trailer! I seem to do a lot of shaving and, that's really all I can say," he said.
The film is released in cinemas in September.

The BBC reported in February that Lewis-based Hebridean Sea Salt was the subject of a probe by local authority environmental health officers.
It has now emerged that its product is no longer stocked by a supermarket and cannot be bought online.
There is no activity at its factory or on its social media sites.
The BBC has been unable to contact the owner Natalie Crayton for comment.
The probe by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar's environmental health department is understood to have been prompted by concerns raised by a former employee.
Hebridean Sea Salt was formed six years ago and became a well-known brand in delis and shops across the country.
It began as a small operation before successfully securing orders from high street stores such as Sainsburys, which had been offering the product at its 360 stores in a deal worth £180,000.
Hebridean Sea Salt had also been making inroads into international markets.
The company has had financial backing from the public purse with Highlands and Islands Enterprise contributing £174,573 to expand the business.
O'Donnell has agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Robins.

The blue "Please offer me a seat" badge, and accompanying card, were trialled by 1,200 people in September.
It is believed TfL is the first European transport provider to officially recognise hidden conditions in such a way.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the badges "will make a real difference".
There is no set definition of conditions that qualify for the badge and card, but TfL say the system will be based on trust - as with the existing "Baby on board" badge scheme.
The scheme was created, TfL said, in response to comments from its customers who struggled to get a seat because their need was not obvious.
During the trial last year 72% of journeys were said to be easier as a result of the badge, while in 86% of trips participants reported feeling more confident when asking for a seat.
Mr Khan said: "These blue badges will make a real difference to passengers who need a seat but just haven't felt confident enough to ask for one."
James McNaught, who took part in the trial, previously made his own "cancer on board" badge after chemotherapy on his throat left him unable to speak and doses of morphine made him appear drunk.
He said: "This is a brilliant scheme and I am very glad that it is being introduced by the mayor.
"The anxiousness of needing a seat but being unsure whether you will get one can rob people of the confidence to use public transport.
"This simple initiative will make a huge difference to the lives of many people."
Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) is consulting on the unit's future as part of a review of animal disease surveillance services across Scotland.
Prospect said shutting the site, which employs 15 people, would mean dead animals being transported further.
SRUC said it was only at the "very beginning" of the consultation.
Part of the SRUC organisation in Inverness is to relocate to the new Inverness Campus at Beechwood on the outskirts of Inverness.
However, Prospect said no provision has been made for relocating the laboratory.
Union spokesman Clive Davey told BBC Radio Scotland that its closure would result in dead animals having to be taken to Perth, Aberdeen or Thurso for examinations.
SRUC's said its consultation involved staff, unions, vets, farmers and crofters.
In a statement, it said: "We are at the very beginning of the consultation period and over the next six weeks will be taking on board a range of views about the future of the veterinary surveillance service.
"We will then work with the Scottish government to consider these views and determine the best way forward before finalising plans."
Brian Rouse, 48, from Watford, was jailed for four months on 30 March after pleading guilty to four charges at Aylesbury Crown Court.
He was dismissed from Hertfordshire Constabulary without notice at a public misconduct hearing on Wednesday.
A spokesman for the force said his conduct "fell way below what is expected".
"Hertfordshire Constabulary is committed to ensuring that its officers and staff uphold the highest standards of integrity and that we are accountable to the public we serve," the spokesman added
"Where those standards are not met, it is right that a full investigation takes place and appropriate action taken."

Rouse, who was based at The Mount prison in Bovingdon, had been suspended from duty since the case came to light.
The National Crime Agency uncovered his offences, that took place between 2010 and 2015, during an investigation into online child abuse.
Rouse has been placed on the sex offenders register for seven years and is the subject of a Sex Offenders Prevention Order, that will run for seven years.
At well over 2m tall and serving as head of the FBI as the US president sparred openly with the agency, James Comey was, until Tuesday, a significant figure in all senses of the word.
His downfall has caused a seismic reaction in Washington that is continuing to reverberate, and it appears the dust will not settle for some time.
If you've been tuned out of the news in the last few days, or are simply feeling lost amid the maelstrom of headlines, conflicting explanations, leaks and speculation (and who could blame you), we're here to set you straight.
Put your feet up, and let's go back to the basics of this complex story.
James Comey was fired on Tuesday by President Trump, and the first, official explanation for the decision given by the White House was that it was due to his botched handling of the conclusion of the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state.
That explanation would almost immediately be contradicted by news reports and later the president himself. But let's put that aside for one moment.
To understand why James Comey is a household name in the first place (his predecessor Robert Mueller headed the FBI for 12 years - but you may not know his name) it's important to recall that he made two key interventions during the presidential campaign.
In July 2016, he publicly stated that Mrs Clinton had been careless but not criminal in handling sensitive material on her private email server, and that she should not be prosecuted.
Then, 11 days before November's election, when Mr Comey dropped a bombshell, saying he had reopened the inquiry because new Clinton-related emails had been found. The Clinton camp were furious but Donald Trump said the decision "took guts".
Two days before the election Mr Comey said the emails had been reviewed, and nothing had actually changed - Mrs Clinton should still not face criminal charges.
Mr Trump changed his tune, and the FBI director was later blamed by Democrats for Mrs Clinton's election loss.
This is the piece of the James Comey story that explains why his firing has led to such a furore.
As you're probably aware, the US intelligence community believes that the Russian government hacked Democratic Party and Clinton campaign emails in order to help Mr Trump win the election.
President Trump has continuously pushed back against that finding, and has been angered by an FBI investigation into the alleged interference that is also specifically examining possible links (and cooperation) between figures in his campaign and the Russian government.
In March, Mr Comey said publicly the FBI would "follow the facts wherever they lead".
It is for this reason that there has been so much shock and outrage to Mr Comey's sacking.
For many commentators, it was a blatant attempt to hurt the investigation - and Democrats are now calling for a special counsel to be appointed to lead the inquiry to protect its independence.
Comey fired: The shifting explanations
The firing of James Comey was always going to be controversial but President Trump had at least one strong argument to deploy: many Democrats had called for the FBI director to step down after the Clinton email saga - so why should they kick up such a fuss now that it had happened?
But from the outset, President Trump made it clear that there were other things on his mind when he took the decision to fire Mr Comey aside from his handling of the Clinton email investigation.
In his initial letter saying he was acting on recommendations from Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, he explicitly noted that Mr Comey had informed him "on three separate occasions" that he was not personally under investigation in relation to the Russia inquiry.
From there, things began to unravel. In his first in-person explanation Donald Trump said he fired Comey because he was "not doing a good job".
He spoke while sitting next to Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's former national security adviser, which made for a bizarre optic given that some comparisons were already being made to the Watergate scandal.
Later on Wednesday, Mr Trump also met the Russian foreign minister and Russian ambassador to Washington in another bit of awkward timing.
Nick Bryant: It's not Watergate
Then on Thursday, in an NBC interview, the US president said he had actually alone decided to fire Mr Comey - who he called a "showboat" and "grandstander".
He also said that he was thinking about the "Russia thing" when he made the decision.
Anthony Zurcher: How the White House Comey story collapsed
Oh, I was gonna fire [James Comey] regardless of recommendation.
These comments of course contradicted his team's earlier explanations that the recommendation from Mr Rosenstein in particular - painted as a man of integrity and independence - had prompted the firing, rather than any politically-motivated reasoning.
On Friday, the president admitted on Twitter there had been inaccurate and conflicting statements, but then angrily suggested that all White House press briefings should be cancelled for "accuracy".
In his NBC interview the US president also described a January dinner with James Comey at which he was told he was not under investigation. He said Mr Comey had requested the dinner because he wanted to keep his FBI job.
The New York Times is also reporting that the president asked Mr Comey for a pledge of loyalty - and he said no. The White House denies the story.
Katty Kay: Is Trump's thin skin to blame?
It's unlikely that Mr Comey will not eventually respond to Mr Trump's assertions, and the stage is set for further dramatic confrontation as the president has suggested he might have recorded their conversations.
He tweeted on Friday: "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"
In front of the TV cameras hours later, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer wouldn't comment on whether the president is recording conversations.
If we've re-learnt one definite lesson this week, it's that it's not easy to be a spokesperson for the 45th president.
Earlier this week, US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen said the Fed should "proceed cautiously" before raising interest rates.
Wall Street was also spurred by the comments and saw its second day of gains on Wednesday.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 was up 0.41% to 16,943.48in early Thursday trade.
Tokyo-listed shares in Sharp were down 3.7% however after Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn said it had finally agreed a deal to take over struggling Japanese electronics company.
Foxconn said the deal was worth 389bn yen ($3.5bn; £2.4bn) and would give it a 66% stake in Sharp.
In Australia, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index was up 1.56% to 5,088.7 points as the prospect of slower rate rises in the US buoyed investor sentiment.
Meanwhile, South Korea's benchmark Kospi index started in positive territory, but was later down 0.19% to 1,997.97.
Fresh official numbers released earlier showed industrial production in Asia's fourth largest economy had increased by 3.3% from a month earlier, marking the biggest monthly increase since late 2014.
In China, markets opened in positive territory despite some of the country's largest banks reporting lacklustre earnings growth late on Wednesday.
Profits for the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and China Construction Bank both grew at less than half a percent. Industry-wide, nonperforming loans rose to 1.67% of total loans last year, up from the previous year.
Agricultural Bank of China, the country's third-largest lender, is expected to report its results later.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was up 0.11% to 20,831.47 in early trade, while the Shanghai Composite was up 0.28% to 3,008.98.
The hosiery, dating from the 1870s, is embroidered with the royal VR monogram and went under the hammer at Tennants Auctionneers in Leyburn.
The auctioneers had expected the stockings to fetch between £400-£600 despite their less than pristine condition.
The firms said the hosiery might still be bought by an after-auction bidder.
Under garments belonging to Queen Victoria do sometimes come up for sale as she would give away hosiery as gifts to people who worked for her.
The black and cream silk stockings were not in pristine condition with several areas of discolouration and stitched repairs.
The centre-back, 29, appeared to be in tears after turning his left ankle after half-time at White Hart Lane.
"We need to wait for tomorrow and Monday to assess him better. It looks bad," said Pochettino.
"He is disappointed and in a very difficult period but we will push him to recover quickly to try to help him."
Vertonghen has played 20 of Tottenham's 21 league matches this season, forming part of a defence that has conceded just 14 goals - the best record in the league.
Former England midfielder Danny Murphy: "Dele Alli did some magical things. There is nothing he can't do.
"He loves nutmegs… poor old Darren Fletcher. I didn't know he had this quality and vision… he just gets better every week. He's a wonderful talent."
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright: "Full-backs Danny Rose and Kyle Walker are just unbelievable. West Brom's Nacer Chadli had the thankless task of dealing with Rose, who is one of the best left-backs in Europe right now.
"When you have the insurance of midfielders Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama, Rose can go forward."
Spurs travel to Manchester City on 21 January and will do so buoyed by seven wins in a row, including one over leaders Chelsea on 4 January.
They are second in the table, although Liverpool and Manchester City could climb above them with victories on Sunday.
Pochettino's side capitulated in last season's title race, failing to win any of their last four games of the campaign, but the Argentine says Spurs are in "good position for big things".
"We are much better than last season," he said. "We are more mature.
"If you want to fight and challenge for big things we need to follow performances like Chelsea with this one. After Chelsea we feel confident, with a good energy."
The party is in first place in some other towns it is targeting, according to projections.
President Francois Hollande's Socialists have lost ground overall and may lose control of some major towns.
The vote is seen as a key test for the Socialists, deeply unpopular after nearly two years in power.
The Socialists were also hit by the low turnout in the first round of the elections - exit polls suggest up to 35% of voters stayed at home.
The vote is to choose councillors and mayors in more than 36,000 villages, towns and cities.
The anti-immigration National Front (FN) took 50.26% of the vote in the northern town of Henin-Beaumont, which has historically voted for the left.
Elsewhere, in Avignon and Perpignan in the south, the party's candidates for mayor had the biggest number of votes.
In some 200 places FN candidates have won through to the second round next weekend.
Marine Le Pen, National Front leader since 2011, hailed the results, saying her party had "arrived as a major independent force - a political force at both national and local level".
The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says that in most cases, these candidates have little chance of gaining control of the town halls as they will be beaten in round two.
However, it is a big advance for the far right and an expression of the growing popular exasperation with the establishment parties of the right and the left, he says.
Many people who voted for President Hollande two years ago chose to abstain, which has meant losses for the Socialists, our correspondent notes, and in many important towns they will struggle in the second round to hold off challenges from the main centre-right UMP opposition party.
Earlier, pollsters identified half a dozen towns that could see National Front rule as a result of the elections, giving it the chance to show it can be trusted with power after attempts to run four towns in the late 1990s revealed its lack of competence, Reuters news agency said.
Centre Mark Percival crossed twice for the 2014 champions, who were beaten in the semi-finals of both Super League and the Challenge Cup last season.
Atelea Vea, Jordan Turner and Luke Thompson also went over for the hosts, with former Hull FC player Turner scoring the 100th try of his career.
Huddersfield replied through Aaron Murphy, Ukuma Ta'ai and Jake Connor.
In tricky wet conditions, Saints avoided a repeat of the 40-4 humbling by the Giants on the opening day of the 2013 season.
But their win was tempered by the loss of influential hooker James Roby to a shoulder problem midway through the second half.
Huddersfield also lost key players to injury, with captain Danny Brough and full-back Scott Grix both failing to complete the match.
Giants coach Paul Anderson had been unable to select Joe Wardle, Craig Huby, Kyle Wood and Luke Robinson because of injuries.
St Helens head coach Keiron Cunningham: "The halves were brilliant and Luke Thompson changed the game when he came on. He was phenomenal.
"Atelea Vea also played the full 80 minutes straight and I'm pleased all over. Defensively we were very good and we played the conditions really well.
"We looked comfortable for a large part of the game."
Huddersfield head coach Paul Anderson: "The effort and endeavour was very good, considering the youth out there.
"We were masters of our own downfall with penalties and errors, but Sam Rapira was outstanding and caused a lot of problems.
"The difference was Luke Walsh's kicking game and he played as though he was in a dinner jacket. The first half was very even, although the scoreline may show otherwise."
St Helens: Owens; Makinson, Peyroux, Percival, Swift; Turner, Walsh; Amor, Roby, Tasi, Wilkin, Vea, McCarthy-Scarsbrook.
Replacements: Walmsley, Richards, Savelio, Thompson.
Huddersfield: Grix; McGillvary, Cudjoe, Connor, Murphy; Brough, Ellis; Rapira, Hinchcliffe, Crabtree, Ta'ai, Lawrence, Patrick.
Replacements: Smith, J. Johnson, Leeming, Roberts.

Speaking in Moscow, where he met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, he urged those involved to "refrain from using belligerent rhetoric".
Mr Putin said both wanted to see "peaceful, constructive dialogue" between the opposing parties.
Relations between North Korea and the US have plunged in recent weeks.
The two countries have traded angry words and threats as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un persists with missile tests, despite repeated warnings to stop.
This week, the US announced it was set to activate a missile defence system in South Korea "within days", and tighten sanctions against the secretive state.
It came after President Donald Trump announced the US was sending a naval carrier group to patrol the Korean peninsula.
North Korea, meanwhile, threatened to launch a "super-mighty pre-emptive strike" against what it called US aggression.
North Korea is also believed to be on the verge of conducting another nuclear bomb test.
Washington fears it could develop a nuclear device small enough to fit on a long-range missile which could reach the US, though some experts say this is some way off.
But if North Korea did decide to launch a missile attack, neighbours South Korea and Japan could be targeted.
Mr Abe is keen to ensure the situation does not deteriorate further.
Speaking on Thursday, Mr Putin said: "In my opinion, and in the opinion of the prime minister, the situation on the Korean peninsula has unfortunately got a lot worse.
"We call on all governments involved in regional matters to refrain from using belligerent rhetoric and to strive for peaceful constructive dialogue."
He urged Theresa May to "condemn these ideas", saying they were very similar to events in Europe in the 1930s.
He said there had been an "enormous" rise in attacks on Czechs in the UK since the referendum.
The government says firms will not have to list individual foreign staff.
At the Conservative Party conference last month, Home Secretary Amber Rudd proposed that firms could be forced to disclose what percentage of their workforce was non-British as a way to encourage them to hire more locals.
She told the BBC she wanted to "flush out" companies abusing existing rules and "nudge them into better behaviour".
Briefing notes from her department also suggested they could be required to "be clear about the proportion of their workforce which is international", a practice which the Home Office said was standard in the US.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon later clarified that, if the plan went ahead, it would mean firms providing numbers overall rather than individual names.
But, speaking to BBC Radio 4's Analysis, Mr Prouza, the Czech Republic's state secretary for European affairs, said: "I think the performance at the Conservative Party conference was again stoking the fires.
"When you had all these ideas of British companies that would have to report the number of foreigners they employ, maybe even the names of the foreigners they employ, that is very similar to what we have seen on the continent in the 1930s.
"I think we all remember what it led to. So I think we see it as very dangerous and I was really hoping that Prime Minister May would condemn these ideas very quickly and it's not happened. So that is a worry."
A UK government spokesman said: "There is no plan to list foreign workers and never has been. The proportion of international workers in a company is one of the pieces of information that companies may be asked to provide to the government. This information will not be published.
"This already happens in the US and is one of several proposals we will be consulting on as part of our work to ensure that companies take reasonable steps to recruit at home before looking to bring in workers from abroad.
"The purpose of having a consultation is so that we can listen to business and use that feedback to inform our decisions".
Racist or religious abuse incidents recorded by police in England and Wales increased by 41% in the month after June's EU referendum, according to Home Office figures.
It said the sharp increase had declined in August but had "remained at a higher level than prior to the EU referendum".
Mr Prouza said: "At the moment we need to support the security of Czechs. We've seen an enormous increase in attacks on Czechs and other foreigners on British soil.
"We've had dozens and dozens of people complaining to the Czech embassy in London, sharing their negative experiences in places where they have lived for five or 10 years and never had a problem.
"In the last six months there is more and more of these issues."
Mr Prouza said that, in a recent conversation with Mrs May, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka had told her: "We would really like to see the British government doing something about these xenophobic, nationalistic attacks."
Ms Rudd has said: "We should be able to have a conversation about the skills we need.
"I don't think we should have a situation where we can't talk about immigration.
"We must not ignore the fact that people want to talk about immigration and if we do talk about immigration, don't call me a racist."

They've been burning for several months and the smoke has spread to nearby countries like Malaysia.
It's a problem that affects Indonesia every year, but scientists say this year could be the worst since 1997.
Big companies, as well as farmers with small areas of land, are thought to have started many of the fires.
They do it to quickly clear the land to make way for palm oil, pulp and paper plantations.
But high temperatures have made the situation worse.
The heat has made the land very dry making it easier for the fires to spread quickly over huge areas.
The fires have created a smoky haze, which have spread to nearby countries including Thailand and Malaysia.
Many schools have been forced to close because of the smog, and some flights have been cancelled.
Scientists are also very worried that the air pollution could lead to problems with people's breathing in the future.
The fires have also been devastating for the animals who live in the forests.
Wildlife experts fear that as many as a third of the world's orangutans are at risk of dying in the fires.
The flames destroy their habitat and force them into areas where humans live - where they're often not welcome.
Sadly, many creatures have gone into villages to escape the fires, but they've been attacked by humans who see them as pests.
Animal charities have been working hard to save the orangutans and move them to safety.
Lots of animals are also suffering from the effects of breathing in smoke.
The Indonesian army is trying to put out the fires on the ground, and countries like Japan and Australia have sent help too.
One of the more unusual ways they're trying to put out the fires is by using specially trained elephants.
The elephants carry water pumps and other equipment to make sure the fires stay out.
It's hoped the flames can be brought under control so that the situation can improve soon.
The new Warwickshire captain, who has said he wants his place back in England's Test side, struck 10 fours in his 134-ball innings as the MCC chased down a target of 256 in Abu Dhabi.
Earlier, Yorkshire, who resumed on 239-7, were bowled out for 299.
Essex batsman Tom Westley also made 58 as the MCC reached 257-6.
Bell, who has 118 Test caps, was dropped by England for their winter tour of South Africa before being named Warwickshire skipper in January.
The 33-year-old, captaining the MCC side, looked in fine touch before he was dismissed by teenage spinner Karl Carver for the second time in the match when he skied him to Alex Lees at mid-off.
Bell's wicket left the MCC 199-5, still needing 57 for victory, but Warwickshire team-mate Rikki Clarke (33) and Ben Foakes (32 not out) helped them home.
The 2016 County Championship campaign gets under way on Sunday, 10 April, with Yorkshire's first game against Hampshire at Headingley starting on 17 April.

Greig Laidlaw's four successful penalties out of five gave the Scots a 12-7 advantage at half-time, Amanaki Mafi having crossed for Japan.
John Hardie and Mark Bennett touched down after the break and Tommy Seymour raced clear for the Scots' third try.
Bennett's second score secured a bonus point and Finn Russell celebrated his 23rd birthday by crossing late on.
Japan had caused a major upset when they beat South Africa 34-32 on Saturday but, despite a spirited first half, they were overwhelmed by Vern Cotter's side, who now top Pool B.
Mafi scored after a successful line-out and Ayumu Goromaru converted but that 7-6 advantage would be Japan's only lead in the match as Laidlaw largely kept his composure with the boot before the Scots fully took control.
Relive Scotland's win over Japan
Some of the attacking rugby Scotland produced was sumptuous. They did it against a team that was tiring but there was pace and wit in the backline and a reason to believe big things are to come.
Bennett and Matt Scott were outstanding, cutting through the Japanese defence and causing mayhem.
Scotland have often toiled miserably when it comes to breaking down defences, but not now.
In Bennett and Scott in the midfield, the electrifying Stuart Hogg at full-back, the predatory Seymour on the wing and such cleverness at half-back in Russell and Laidlaw, Scotland are not lacking in game-breakers anymore.
The game turned when Japan suffered the cruel loss of their totem Mafi to injury early in the second half.
The back row forward had been a colossus. As soon as he was carried off on a stretcher, Scotland ran amok.
When he departed it was still just a two-point game and Scotland were beginning to wobble.
His exit had the twin impact of demoralising Japan and galvanising Scotland. Eddie Jones's team quickly tired and they were picked off relentlessly and clinically.
Hardie and then Bennett found gaps on Japan's right for Scotland's opening two scores and the pace of Seymour and Bennett left opponents trailing in their wake as the bonus point was secured.
Russell added gloss to the scoreline under the posts, with Laidlaw converting four of the five tries.
Scotland: Hogg, Seymour, Bennett, Scott, Lamont, Russell, Laidlaw, Dickinson, Ford, Nel, Gilchrist, J. Gray, Wilson, Hardie, Denton.
Replacements: Maitland for Hogg (66), Horne for Bennett (80), Grant for Dickinson (65), Brown for Ford (73), Welsh for Nel (72), R. Gray for Gilchrist (51), Strauss for Wilson (59). Not used: Pyrgos.
Japan: Goromaru, Matsushima, Sau, Tamura, Fukuoka, Tatekawa, Tanaka, Inagaki, Horie, Yamashita, Thompson, Ives, Leitch, Broadhurst, Mafi.
Replacements: Hiwasa for Tamura (69), Hesketh for Tatekawa (76), Mikami for Inagaki (41), Kizu for Horie (73), Hatakeyama for Yamashita (53), Ito for Thompson (69), Makabe for Ives (61), Tui for Mafi (46). Sin bin: Matsushima (24).

Johnson, 21, joined the League Two strugglers in time to start against Mansfield on Tuesday.
The forward scored 59 goals for Gainsborough in the Northern League last term, earning him a summer move to Championship side Cardiff, where he has yet to feature at senior level.
"He's a fantastic goalscorer who'll be a real threat for us," Rovers boss Micky Adams told the club website.
He is the second signing made by new boss Adams, following the arrival of Armand Gnanduillet from Chesterfield on Monday.
Black-cab drivers are angry that Hailo is opening up its service to private hire vehicles.
The word "Scabs" was scrawled on the wall of its London office and police were called after a fight broke out.
Discontent is growing across Europe between licensed taxi drivers and alternative private hire vehicles.
The app firm, co-founded by three London cabbies, had been exclusively for black cabs and allows people to hail a cab through their smartphone.
In an open letter to London taxi drivers, chairman Ron Zeghibe explained why the firm had applied for a private hire licence.
"There is no point burying our heads in the sand - people want a choice," he said.
"When we started, it was a straight fight between taxis and private hire. Now, it's not so simple. These are tough times that call for tough decisions - and that means doing what's right, not what's popular."
He was referring to services such as Uber, a San Francisco-based start-up that describes itself as a "pick-up" service.
It connects those needing a ride with a background-checked private driver, and takes a cut - typically 20% - of the fee.
It now operates in more than 100 cities across 30 countries.
Steve McNamara, head of the London Taxi Drivers' Association said that "feelings were running high".
Of the incident at the Hailo office he said: "Things turned a little bit nasty, punches were thrown and the police were called."
Beyond that, he said, drivers were deleting the app and "queuing up" to have the Hailo stickers removed from their cabs.
Licensed taxi drivers around Europe are getting increasingly frustrated by the proliferation of new services such as Uber, which they say are not subject to the same regulation and licensing regime as them.
In the Italian city of Milan, taxis have been sitting idle for the past five days in protest at what they say is "unfair competition" from Uber. In Paris, the government is considering banning Uber drivers from using GPS-enabled apps and in Spain the National Taxi Federation has called for it to be banned saying it is putting 100,000 jobs at risk.
In London too, black-cab drivers are planning a protest on 11 June over the way Transport for London has handled Uber's arrival in the capital.
"Our beef is not with Uber but with the regulator which is not enforcing the law and kowtowing in the face of Uber's money," said Mr McNamara.
"The reason for the complete collapse of a normally strong and vigilant regulator can only be put down to the fact that TfL are intimidated by the money, power and influence being brought to bear by the enormous presence of Uber's backers Google and Goldman Sachs."
He said that the protest, likely to cause gridlock in central London had "united the taxi and minicab trades in London".
At the heart of the dispute is why Uber is classified as a minicab service when it uses a smartphone app to calculate fares. Black-cab drivers argue that the app is akin to a taximeter and it is illegal for such vehicles to be fitted with these.
The discovery was made by Jinru He, a student in marine biology in China.
Several years ago, he picked up a baby moon jellyfish from the sea, and kept it until it was fully grown.
When the jellyfish died, he put its body into a new tank. Three months later, a polyp, or baby jellyfish, appeared on its back.
They also found that the tissues from adult jellyfish can regenerate to become baby jellyfish again.
Scientists are hoping that studying how the moon jellyfish regenerates could help them work out ways to cure diseases in humans.
Several radio and television shows will be live from the festival, from 22 May and 1 June, with a global audience on BBC World News.
Some of the headline events will also be streamed live on the BBC website.
The BBC said the "unprecedented" coverage would make the festival more accessible than ever before.
This year's link up is the start of a three-year partnership between the festival and the broadcaster, bringing Sky Arts's coverage to an end.
A full programme of events will be broadcast over BBC Radios 2, 3, 4, 6 Music as well as BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru.
There will also be a BBC Tent, which will host appearances and performances from well-known presenters and guests such as singer Cerys Matthews.
The One Show will be live from Hay for the first time and the BBC's Talking Books programme will have five special episodes dedicated to the event.
BBC Wales will also host live coverage and a documentary about the festival and the town of Hay-on-Wye will be made by BBC Four.
Daily stories and videos will be available on the BBC website along with live feeds of some of the most popular events.
BBC Director General Tony Hall said: "Our coverage this year will demonstrate our ambition to join up arts on the BBC like never before - across television, radio and digital.
"By doing so we can give the public access to the greatest writers, performers and thinkers in a way that no one else can."
Peter Florence, director of Hay Festival, added: "The BBC will give everyone, everywhere, the best seat at the table."
Rhodri Talfan Davies, director of BBC Wales said: "The Hay Festival has established itself as a true festival of ideas - bringing together some of the world's leading thinkers and writers.
"And I'm absolutely delighted that this new partnership will enable BBC audiences right across Wales - and right across the UK - to savour the real magic of Hay."
The festival is now in its 27th year and one-time festival speaker, the former US President Bill Clinton, famously described the 10-day event as 'the Woodstock of the mind'.
TAP HERE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF COFFEE
Wrexham council has bid to host the 'Wave' at Llwyn Isaf green in the centre of the town.
The installation marked 100 years since the outbreak of WWI.
Armed forces champion, councillor David Griffiths, said the location would be "accessible to all" and would "showcase the sculpture in a fantastic way".
The outcome of the bid will be known by 30 September.
"The matter has caused a lot of frustration and confusion, for which I apologise," he said in a TV address.
He said he would abide by a court ruling that he must repay government money spent on upgrading his rural home with a swimming pool and amphitheatre.
The case was brought by the opposition, which urged him to stand down.
The public protector, an anti-corruption body, ruled in 2014 that $23m (£15m) of public money had been improperly spent on Mr Zuma's rural home in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province, and ordered him to reimburse part of the expense.
In Thursday's unanimous judgement, the Constitutional Court ruled that Mr Zuma's failure to repay the money violated the constitution.
In his live address on Friday, Mr Zuma said: "I respect the judgement and will abide by it."
The president added that he had acted "in good faith" and "never knowingly and deliberately set out to violate the constitution".
"Any action that has been found not to be in keeping with the constitution happened because of a different approach and different legal advice," he said, before issuing an apology for the "frustration" caused.
He has been described as the quintessential escape artist, and he has done it again. South Africans were glued to their TV screens awaiting an address. Speculation was rife that the president would resign. Instead people got an apology, the first since the Nkandla saga erupted six years ago.
The immediate reaction for many is disappointment. Remember though that Mr Zuma is a master tactician who rose to the highest office against all odds. He is not about to let that go without a fight.
True to his smoothness, Mr Zuma peppered his address with denials and promises to never allow this to happen again. He even spoke about how this could only make the country stronger.
The man that has been the cause of anger for many presented himself as a victim of unclear rules, but said that he now knows better and that the country should forgive him and move on. It takes a lot of charm and confidence to display such boldness, and the president lives to fight another day.
Mr Zuma has been in office since 2009, and his government has been widely accused of corruption and cronyism.
The case had been brought by two opposition parties, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the Democratic Alliance (DA).
The EFF urged Mr Zuma to step down and the DA called for his impeachment.
Following the president's address, Gwede Mantashe, secretary-general of Mr Zuma's ANC party, described the calls as an "overreaction" by the opposition.
Sean Kennedy took 90s dance classic Freed from Desire by Gala, rewrote the lyrics and renamed the tune 'Will Grigg's on fire' - in honour of the 28-goal Latics forward.
After filming himself singing it, Kennedy's song was adopted by the Wigan fans in the stands, and the players sang a rousing rendition on the pitch when they celebrated winning the League One title earlier this month.
Even the club's chairman David Sharpe is a fan.
Sharpe tweeted on Monday: "Signed him for his goals but this Will Grigg chant was worth paying money for alone! It's gone worldwide!
"For inventing the best chant ever known to man, you've earned yourself a free season ticket for next season @KennoUTJ. Will Grigg's on fire."
Kennedy's inventive lyrics include: "He will score goals, he will just score more and more. He will score goals, that's what we signed him for. Will Grigg's on fire, your defence is terrified."
He also parodied Alicia Keys' 2012 single Girl on Fire and dedicated it to 24-year-old Grigg... but it hasn't quite caught on yet.
Norway's Consumer Council (NCC) said Fitbit, Jawbone, Garmin and Mio had broken local laws governing the handling of consumer data.
It said all four gathered too much data, did not say who saw it and failed to say how long it would be kept.
The complaint has been lodged with Norway's data protection authority.
The wristbands may help people monitor fitness activities, but anyone who used them gave up data on "asymmetrical and obscure terms", said Finn Myrstad, director of digital services at the NCC, in a statement.
"We fear that this information can be exploited for direct marketing and price-discrimination purposes, and that basic privacy principles are being neglected," he said.
The complaint came out of a research project carried out by the council, into the terms and conditions used by the four wristband makers.
This revealed that users of the wristbands had little access to the information gathered about them, who saw it and how it was used.
"It is important that we don't give up basic rights in order to use the products and services of the future," said Mr Myrstad.
The BBC has asked the four companies named in the complaint for comment.
In a statement, Jawbone said it was reviewing the NCC report.
"We want to reassure our users and let them know that we only share their data if they ask us to - for example to integrate with a third party app," it said.
A spokesman said Jawbone was a "custodian" of users' data and sought permission to share it.
Users could also download their data and take it elsewhere, he said.
And requests to delete data would be honoured.
The Everton defender, 28, was given oxygen before being carried off following the challenge with Neil Taylor, who was sent off.
The incident happened midway through the second half of the important World Cup qualifier.
Republic manager Martin O'Neill said the defender suffered a "bad break".
"Seamus has gone to hospital, it's been confirmed by a doctor that he has broken his leg," added O'Neill.
"Obviously, it's a real blow to him. He's having the season of a lifetime at club level. He's a big player for us, a great captain and a great character.
"It's a big loss to Everton, a big loss to us. But he'll fight back I hope. It puts things in perspective."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Wales manager Chris Coleman said defender Taylor was "despondent" following the game.
"First and foremost, the most important thing is Seamus Coleman," he said. "We are told that it is not so good, which we are sorry for.
"Neil Taylor is not really that type of player, but it's a tough one for Seamus. Our thoughts are with him. I have not seen it again."
Everton return to Premier League action with the Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, 1 April.
Everton midfielder James McCarthy was scheduled to start for the Republic, but was withdrawn from the team-sheet before kick-off due to a hamstring injury.
"He thought he was going to be OK with the couple of days (training) he had done," added O'Neill. "He was feeling it and I just didn't want to take any chances."
The draw in Dublin meant the Republic missed out on returning to the top of Group D, after Serbia beat Georgia earlier on Friday, with Wales four points behind in third.
Gareth Bale twice went close for Wales from long range, but the visitors had to withstand a spell of heavy pressure following Taylor's sending off.
Wales will also be without Real Madrid forward Bale when they visit Serbia on 11 June after he was booked for a foul on John O'Shea.
The Republic's next Group D qualifier is at home to Austria, also on 11 June.
The festival, visiting Abergavenny this year and running until 6 August, opened in a ceremony at 13:35 BST.
Before that, there were brass bands and disco dancing competitions on Saturday morning.
The Eisteddfod is returning to Abergavenny for the first time since 1913 and is being held on the grounds of Castle Meadows.
The Woodland Trust is displaying a model of a war horse carrying a wounded soldier to mark 99 years since Hedd Wyn, Ellis Evans from Trawsfynydd, won the chair for his poem The Hero.

But have you ever wondered who does Graham's job elsewhere in Europe? We spoke to a few of the other commentators who've been reporting from Kiev this week.
How long have you presented Eurovision?
This year is my third time I have been co-hosting with Jose Maria Inigo. It's a big challenge and a big responsibility, but for me it's been a real blast.
What are you known for in your own country?
I spent 10 years as a reporter and co-host on Radio 3, a station similar to BBC Radio 2. I've had the chance to interview a lot of famous figures in Spain as well as bands like Vampire Weekend. I've also been a reporter for the morning show on TV.
What do you take with you into the commentary booth?
Jose has more than 40 years' experience of commentating on Eurovision and speaks in a very deep voice. He has a calm style which I think mixes well with mine, which some have defined as cheerful! He is the veteran and I am the younger one, and we make a very happy couple.
Do you have any pre-commentating rituals?
I don't have any talismans or lucky objects, but maybe this year I will take with me a photo of my five-month-old baby. This is my first year being a mother!
What do you think of your country's entry?
The odds don't place Spain in a very good position, but at Eurovision I'm always ready for a surprise! Anything can happen on the night.
Watch the video for Spain's entry.
How long have you presented Eurovision?
It's my 17th time. My first one was in 1999 in Jerusalem.
What are you known for in your own country?
I do a mid-morning radio show every day in Austria and I present awards shows on television. I'm that guy who does almost everything.
How would you describe your commentating style?
I love Eurovision and when you love something you can tease it a little bit. You can't take it all seriously because there are still ridiculous dresses and boring songs. You have to stay on that thin line of making fun and completely slaughtering it.
What do you take with you into the commentary booth?
No booze - I get hammered before I go on air! No, I just have my notes and a small Austrian flag - that's enough.
How do you think your own country will fare?
I think Nathan Trent is a very nice and talented guy, and once you've heard Running On Air twice it sticks in your head forever. But it's tricky with Austria. If we don't bring someone like Conchita Wurst it's always 50/50.
Watch the video for Austria's entry.
How long have you presented Eurovision?
I'm here for a second year; my first time was last year in Stockholm. Eurovision is an inspiration for me because you see top-quality performances and so many ideas that you can watch and take home. It's a joy and a pleasure to be here, and I've already booked a week off next year so I can come back!
What are you known for in your own country?
I'm a TV and radio host and I present various shows like I Love My Country, music awards and all the music talent contests.
How would you describe your commentating style?
I hosted the European Football Championships in 2008 and 2012 so my approach is to create the same emotions you get at a sport event. My style is really that of a sports commentator.
What do you take with you into the commentary booth?
I have all my gadgets - computer, tablet and mobile phone. No mascots!
How do you think your own country will fare?
It will be a huge success for us to be in the final for the second year in a row. Martina Barta is a true singer who doesn't need special effects; it's just her on stage and she's great.
(Unfortunately the Czech Republic were knocked out in the first semi-final.)
How long have you presented Eurovision?
I've been commentating since 2004 but I've been coming as a journalist since 1993.
What are you known for in your own country?
Most people know me in the Netherlands for my comments on Eurovision, which is not always an advantage as Eurovision was very unpopular a few years ago. The rest of the year I'm a bit like Louis Theroux, interviewing actors, directors and so on.
How would you describe your commentating style?
I give information about the songs and the artists and their backgrounds as well as the staging and the choreography. There's a slight sense of irony in my comments but not much as the Dutch viewers don't really like it. Of course, there's nothing wrong with a joke every now and then!
What do you take with you into the commentary booth?
Lots of notes. I would love to have a bottle of wine with me but it's not allowed!
What do you think of your country's entry?
OG3NE won The Voice Holland and are very popular in the Netherlands. Lights and Shadows is a good song but it's not new - it reminds me of Wilson Phillips.
Watch the video for The Netherlands' entry.
How long have you presented Eurovision?
This year is my eighth time. I started when we were hosts in 2010 in Oslo.
What are you known for in your own country?
I'm quite known as a stunt reporter on television and radio. I've flown paragliders and transmitted live from the North Pole. I also have my own heavy metal programme on radio.
How would you describe your commentating style?
I'm quite calm and collected - I'm not a guy who starts screaming. I'm also not as ironic or sarcastic as Terry Wogan used to be. If someone is singing like a crow I'll say so, but it's not my goal to be mean to anyone as they're all doing their best.
What do you take with you into the commentary booth?
Loads of water to drink and wine gums to chew on. I also have a big picture of my friends in Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir, so I don't forget where I come from!
What do you think of your country's entry?
I think we're going to do quite well as we have a contemporary pop song in Grab the Moment by JOWST. It's in the EDM sphere which we are known for in Norway right now.
Watch the video for Norway's entry.

The Cheshire zoo, which is home to more than 11,000 animals, was also rated the second best in Europe.
The 2014 Travellers' Choice Awards feature categories including landmarks, hotels and beaches.
Jamie Christon, managing director of Chester Zoo said: "We're absolutely delighted."
He said: "Our sincere thanks go to every single person who has come here because, as a registered charity, their visits help us to carry out all of our vital conservation work - saving species from extinction both here in the UK and overseas."
According to the poll, the UK has the most award-winning zoos of all European countries.
Among the other venues winning plaudits were Colchester Zoo, Essex; Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, Devon; Blackpool Zoo, Lancashire; Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens, Burford, Oxfordshire; Knowsley Safari Park, Merseyside; and South Lakes Safari Zoo, Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria.
The 30-year-old midfielder embarks on a move to the two-time Coupe de France winners having also played in Kazakhstan and Sweden.
"I'm delighted to sign for Guingamp and I'm really looking forward to joining a club of their stature," Nwabuoku told BBC Sport.
"Football in France is totally different from what I have experienced elsewhere but I'm ready to give my best."
Guingamp announced on its website that signing the free agent Nigerian is in line with its desire to build a very competitive women's team next season.
Nwabuoku, who has 49 caps for Nigeria, captained the Super Falcons to the 2014 African Women Championship title and at last year's Fifa Women's World in Canada.
More success followed at club level when she helped Biik Kazygurt retain the Kazakhstan Women Premier league in 2015 before switching to Swedish club Östersunds DFF in April. But six weeks after arriving in Sweden she left the club by mutual consent.
And Guingamp's first summer signing said she was excited at the prospect of playing alongside international teammate Desire Oparanozie.
Oparanozie emerged as the French league's sixth top goalscorer in the 2015/16 season, scoring 11 goals in 22 games as Guingamp finished eighth in the league.
"I've joined an ambitious club and it will be a tremendous experience to reunite with my compatriot and sister Oparanozie," Nwabuoku said.
"I will be doing all I can, and working as hard as possible, to bring more success to the club."
The fire in January destroyed the biomass fuel plant which would have powered the £90m development at West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven.
No final cause for the fire has been established but Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service said there was no evidence of malicious intent.
The site was originally due to open in April.
The Appeal Court has ruled that the lender, which is an arm of the West Bromwich Building Society, was wrong to increase its charges for buy-to-let tracker mortgages.
In September 2013 it announced a 1.9% increase in its tracker rate, even though base rates had not risen.
The lender said it was disappointed, but it had acted to protect its savers.
As many as 6,500 landlords with multiple properties now stand to be refunded an average sum of more than £400 each.
So-called tracker mortgages are supposed to follow the Bank of England's base rate, which has remained at 0.5% since 2009.
The case was brought by Mark Alexander, a former mortgage broker who subsequently set up an advice website.
He was backed by around 400 landlords who were in a similar position to him.
Previously the High Court had ruled against Mr Alexander, but the Court of Appeal has now reversed that decision.
The West Bromwich Building Society said it would record a loss in the current financial year as a result, but that its capital position remained strong.
"At all times we acted to ensure we were treating customers fairly and that our approach was in the best interests of the Society and its members as a whole," said Jonathan Westhoff, the company's chief executive.
"We will now contact all affected borrowers and ensure we process promptly any reimbursement they are due."
Rhys Atkinson, 23, assaulted the officer during a match between Chesterfield FC and Barnsley FC, at the Proact Stadium, on 8 August.
He was fined £216 and ordered to pay £50 in compensation to the officer and £620 towards prosecution costs.
Atkinson, of Mansfield Road, Barnsley, pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer at Chesterfield Justice Centre.
PC Roger Brown, of Derbyshire Police, said: "Mr Atkinson's behaviour at the game between Chesterfield and Barnsley has led to him being banned from all regulated football matches for three years."
The banning order covers all Premier and Football League matches.

Irishman McGregor, 27, will attempt to claim the 29-year-old Brazilian's title in Las Vegas on Saturday.
McGregor told BBC Sport his meeting with the man rated the best pound-for-pound fighter in UFC would generate upwards of $100m (£65.7m).
"It's a big one - like they all are when I'm involved," he added.
"It's up there as one of the biggest fights in combat sport history."
Dubliner McGregor has been credited, along with former women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, with widening the appeal of mixed martial arts.
He was initially set to face Aldo in July until the Brazilian - whose last defeat came 10 years ago - pulled out with a rib injury.
McGregor beat Chad Mendes with a second-round knockout to be named interim featherweight champion.
"I simply see victory," said McGregor. "I simply see dominance - a clear-cut first-round KO.
"I'm not just going to beat Jose. I'm going to embarrass Jose in there. I don't need to gather any more intel, any more research. It's done. He has already lost."
Aldo said: "I'm going to hit him, and he's going to sleep.
"I always beat Americans, and this time I'm going to beat an Irishman."
Latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show a 38% fall in money invested in the UK by foreign-owned firms between 2012 and 2014.
But the Cardiff economists said jobs and projects coming to Wales through inward investment are growing steadily.
They suggest Wales is outperforming the UK as it did in the 1980s and 90s.
Meanwhile, the value of exports from Wales has dropped by 8.6% over the last year - with the biggest drop involving trade with the European Union.
Cardiff Business School's Welsh Economy Research Unit has been tracking inward investment for many years.
UK government figures earlier this year revealed a record high of 101 investment projects in Wales in 2014/15, creating and safeguarding around 9,600 jobs.
Set against the latest UK ONS figures, the Cardiff economists say Wales "might be performing quite strongly in attracting inward investment at a time when the UK is seeing some pressure on inward investment flows".
INWARD INVESTMENT - WHY WALES?
Wooing inward investment to Wales has been a policy of governments since World War II in London and Cardiff.
The Treforest Industrial Estate was one of the first visible examples. Since then many big international names like Ford and Sony have come to Wales and stayed for many decades.
As global economic patterns changed, others like Bosch, Hoover and Hitachi left Wales to produce elsewhere.
It was the move towards a Single European Market in the 1980s and 1990s that made the UK and Wales particularly attractive.
Shoppers in Europe were buying more and more consumer goods from Japan and companies like Panasonic, Sony and many others decided that it made sense to move production closer to customers and the European market.
Massive shake-up
For them, the easiest place to do that from was the English-speaking UK.
Wales was going through a massive shake-up with many thousands of workers losing jobs in the traditional industries like coal and steel and so Wales could supply a large number of semi-skilled workers, flat land for industrial parks and significantly generous grants.
In return, many thousands of Welsh workers found employment and in some cases the foreign-owned firms brought new technology and different ways of working, which were later embraced by Welsh firms.
Between 1980 and 1995 Wales performed well at attracting inward investment. By 1992, it was winning 11.8% more than twice its share of the projects invested in the UK.
But by the mid-1990s that had halved (5.6%) and by 2005 that, in effect, halved again (2%).
In recent years, Wales has been winning greater proportions of inward investment again. Despite having only 5% of the UK's population, Wales in 2013/14 won 7.9% of the inward investment projects.
In terms of exports, those to the EU from Wales fell by 17% during the last year, according to new regional trade figures.
Countries where export values rose the most were the United Arab Emirates (up £80m, 7.2%) and Mexico (up £48m, 168%).
But the United States is still Wales' biggest trading partner - accounting for nearly a quarter of all exports, worth £2.9bn.
Wales' export trade with Ireland fell by more than a third in value or £591m.
The closure of the Murco oil refinery last November is reflected in the £1.1bn drop in exports of fuel products.
With the continuing problems inside the Eurozone, it is no surprise that businesses exporting there are feeling the impact, writes BBC Wales business correspondent Brian Meechan.
The US has always been a big market for Wales, more so than some other nations and regions in the UK.
Many businesses try to export to numerous different nations, the hope being that, if sales aren't going well somewhere because a country's struggling with growth, it will be mitigated by trade elsewhere.
As for imports, these fell 4% over the year although the biggest jump was in goods from China (up £86m). Germany remains the largest import partner for Wales and the EU now accounts for half of imports.
Perhaps just ever so slightly paranoid, but then Gerald Howarth was making a reference to China's recent controversial ambitions to invest in the Hinkley C power plant - the first nuclear power station in the UK for a generation.
It was also a telling insight into what some in Beijing call the UK's "China-phobia" - brought into sharp focus by the proposed investment in Hinkley.
The Chinese could, and many said should, have walked away from Hinkley following UK Prime Minister Theresa May's eleventh-hour decision to delay the deal, and frankly many thought they might.
After all, the episode was seen as a major snub, one that the Chinese ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming described as a "test of mutual trust" between the UK and China.
But the Chinese stayed in the game, and now state-owned firm China General Nuclear Power Group, or CGN, is welcoming the deal, saying it is "delighted" that Theresa May's government has approved the deal, despite the earlier trouble.
So why is Hinkley so important to the Chinese?
The biggest reason is that the Hinkley deal gives China the credibility to do more deals of this sort. China is the most prolific builder of nuclear power plants anywhere in the world, according to King & Wood Mallesons, (KWM) a global law firm who advised CGN on the Hinkley deal.
In their words, "China… has a very good story to tell when selling its technology and new-build skills abroad."
But it would also be fair to say there's fear and suspicion surrounding China's ambitions, as illustrated by Mr Howarth's comments above.
Getting this seal of approval from the UK government means that China can win international credibility at a time when it is being rejected over national security issues in other markets such as the US and Australia, as I've written about before.
Q&A: What is Hinkley Point and why is it important?
Hinkley approval: Reaction from Somerset
KWM says China wants generic design approval (GDA) for its Hualong nuclear reactor technology in the UK.
Regulatory approval in the UK is seen as a stepping-stone to getting approval from other countries who regard the UK's approval process as a guide for their own. It's not clear whether Hinkley gives the Chinese that right away - but it's something that will be under consideration in the future.
And here's what's really at stake. China's future nuclear ambitions were evident from CGN's statement on the deal's approval.
"We are now able to move forward and deliver much-needed nuclear capacity at Hinkley Point, Sizewell and Bradwell with our strategic partners… and provide the UK with safe, reliable and sustainable low-carbon energy."
China wants to build more nuclear energy plants in the UK, and around the world. The Bradwell plant in Essex is thought to be next.
So, as KWM says, the "Hinkley C investment is about much more than providing… capital. It is about the long game: deploying Chinese technology, applying Chinese expertise, and ultimately having the Chinese supply chain build new nuclear power plants in the UK and many other jurisdictions".
It isn't smooth sailing though - the UK has also set new conditions for China's investment, without specifically singling it out. Which may mean future investment by foreign countries in critical infrastructure projects in the UK will be more keenly scrutinised than ever before.
But in a world where the Chinese are awash with cash, and increasingly the only ones willing to spend it on massive infrastructure projects, expect more of these sorts of global deals to be announced in the future. China is already building dams, railways and power plants all over Asia, spending billions of dollars of its cash and, according to its critics, buying influence along the way.
This trend is only likely to continue if recent history is anything to go by. As one South-East Asian official told me on the side-lines of the Asean summit last week, when I asked him about increasing Chinese investment and influence in his own country versus the US's and Japan's, "if you were given a choice between $2m and $2bn, which would you choose?"
Jennifer Worbey from north Belfast discovered the plant growing at the rear of her home a number of weeks ago.
Initially no-one would accept responsibility for the piece of ground behind her house, but eventually the Housing Executive accepted it was their problem.
It has agreed to pay for treatment to remove the Japanese knotweed.
"I contacted my local MP to find out who owned the land because I knew it wasn't just my property that was affected," Mrs Worbey said.
"In a sense, it's a lot of people in Premier Drive and on the other side of the waste ground that are affected by it.
"Currently we can't use the back gate, there's no access up and down the back entry at all which means that all of our bins are kept in the front gardens which is a bit of an eyesore.
"We did have plans to do something with the second back garden which are now currently on hold until the problem gets resolved."
Mark Johnston from Knotweed Northern Ireland said it was an "annual plant".
"It dies back completely in the winter and then in the spring you'll start to notice small shoots coming through," he said.
"They'll look a bit like asparagus spears, often with a red tip.
"Don't stand looking directly down on them because they grow about two inches a day and they take on very quickly and they spread.
"If you try and pull it out, it will just spread underground and you will find you have an even wider stand of Japanese knotweed."
Mr Johnston said it was not a surprise that the Japanese Knotweed could come through concrete.
"It basically started off life on the side of Japanese volcanoes so it was well used to coming up through lava that had solidified over the top of it," he said.
Householders who have the plant growing on their property have found it difficult to sell their homes or to get a mortgage to buy a property in close proximity to where it is found.
Mrs Worbey, who lives in her home with her husband and children, said: "We've put a lot of money into it to make it a family home.
"To be told my property could be devalued due to, in a sense, a weed which is growing on a piece of land that doesn't belong to me, that has now impacted on my property.
"I'm sure there's probably a lot of people like myself who actually even don't know what it is, you just think it's overgrown weeds."
The plant, which can grow through concrete and affects drains, walls and driveways is becoming more of a problem for property owners across Northern Ireland.
The issues around Japanese Knotweed are due to brought before a Stormont committee.
Nicola Cross, 37, was stabbed to death at her home in Dunlin Road, Hemel Hempstead on Monday night.
Marcin Porczynski, 23, of Claymore Avenue, appeared at Hatfield Remand Court charged with murder, two counts of kidnap and trespass with intent to inflict GBH.
In a tribute, Mrs Cross was described as "kind, generous and brave".
Mr Porczynski was remanded in custody to appear at St Albans Crown Court on Friday.
Using a Polish interpreter, he spoke only to confirm his name, age and address.
Officers were first called at 22:30 BST after receiving reports a man was acting suspiciously, police said.
They later admitted a man had been spoken to an hour before Mrs Cross's death but they let him go.
Her body was found when police responding to a separate call about a burglary at a neighbouring home heard a disturbance next door.
Hertfordshire Police have referred the incident to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
A tribute statement issued by police on behalf of her family said: "Our Nikki is the heart and soul of our family.
"She was kind, generous, brave and incredibly talented - the most beautiful person inside and out, Nikki was the perfect wife and the most amazing mummy.
"She installed core belief in our children to never give up and we will continue what she has built, which is a solid loving family who will remember her with undying love."
A 19-year-old man arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to burgle has been released on police bail until 24 September.
The 38-year-old, whose contract expires at the end of the year, wrote on Instagram that his time at the club had "come to an end".
He said he will reveal "the next stage" of his career "very soon".
Lampard scored 15 goals in 31 appearances for New York, in a two-year spell that was interrupted by a loan spell at Manchester City.
New York City were beaten 7-0 on aggregate by Toronto FC in the MLS play-offs this month.

In an interview with Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker in October, Lampard said he was keen to move into coaching.
Lampard said: "I have very much enjoyed my time, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to play for such a great club and in such an incredible city.
"I leave with many great memories."
Lampard left Chelsea in 2014 as the club's record scorer with 211 goals.
He signed a deal with New York City in July 2014, before joining their sister club Manchester City on loan in August, a move which "outraged" New York City fans.
He scored eight goals during a loan spell that was extended to cover the 2014-15 season.
In May 2016, he was described as "the worst signing in MLS history" as injuries and his spell back in the Premier League restricted his appearances.
But he rediscovered his form for New York City, scoring 12 goals in 14 games, and the city celebrated "Frank Lampard Day" in September.
Former England team-mate and Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard could also be set to end his spell in the United States.
Gerrard, 36, is out of contract at MLS side LA Galaxy and has suggested he could go into coaching at former club Liverpool.
Hull City Council, which brought the action, said the chain should provide sanitary facilities if food and drink are consumed on the premises.
Newcastle City Council, Greggs' home town authority, opposed the move.
An earlier ruling in Greggs favour said outlets serving simple takeaway food did not need toilet facilities.
More on this and other local stories in Hull and East Yorkshire
Hull City Council took legal action after Newcastle City Council issued guidance relating to toilet provision in food outlets.
The guidance, approved by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills' Better Regulation Delivery Office, argued bathroom provision at food outlets should be based on a predominant trade test.
Officials said, that if "takeaway trade was predominant" food and drink would not "normally" be sold for consumption on the premises, and outlet owners should therefore not be required to provide toilet facilities.
Hull City Council said that approach could not be right, as such an interpretation gave the two Greggs' bakeries in Hull an "unlawful and unfair" commercial advantage.
In his ruling at a hearing in Leeds on Tuesday, Mr Justice Kerr said Hull council's claim was "well-founded" and the advice given by Newcastle council "flawed".
He said he would quash the Better Regulation Delivery Office's decision to approve Newcastle council's guidance.
The judge added: "It is obvious that if a person sits down in a Greggs outlet at the seats provided and proceeds to eat a pasty and a fizzy drink just purchased at the counter for that purpose, that is a normal use of the premises.
"The fact that most customers take away their purchases and those who stay do not normally stay long, does not change that."
A Department for Business, Innovation & Skills spokesman said: "We have lodged an appeal."
Responding to the latest ruling, a Greggs spokesperson said: "This is the first time the statutory Primary Authority scheme as set up in 2008 has been challenged in the courts.
"Until this matter has been finally determined by the courts it would not be appropriate for us to comment."
The firm said it expected a final decision within the next nine months.
The so-called Fagin's Law would target those "procuring young people to commit offences" in the state of Victoria.
The name refers to the fictional ringleader of child pickpockets in Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist.
The crackdown comes after a series of crimes committed by young people in the state.
Victoria's Attorney-General Martin Pakula said the legislation would be introduced to state parliament early next year.
It would go further than an existing law of incitement, which requires authorities to prove a specific crime has been procured.
"This is more general, this is about criminals who, for example, just tell young people to steal things and bring them to them for payment," Mr Pakula told the ABC.
"There is a gap in that law at the moment."
It comes as the state announced it would increase its police force by 20% over four years.
The incident on Wednesday night took place when an airport worker allegedly snatched the soldier's gun after an altercation and shot at him.
Angry airport workers blocked the runway with vehicles after the clash, leading to flights being diverted.
India's airports are mainly guarded by paramilitary soldiers.
At least two airport workers were injured in the clash, reports said.
Kerala's Home Minister Ramesh Chennitala told BBC Hindi that the trouble began when an airport worker tried to enter the airport without showing his security pass to the soldier.
"In the heated argument that followed, the worker is alleged to have taken away the soldier's gun and shot him. The soldier died on his way to the hospital," he said.
Following the incident, security personnel clashed with airport workers, and the worker who challenged the soldier was also injured.
A number of flights coming into Kozhikode were diverted after airport workers blocked the runway with fire service vehicles.
The police cleared the runway and the airport became operational on Thursday morning, police said.
Born and raised in Thailand to a wealthy family, Chatri was studying at the prestigious US college in the late 1990s when the Asian financial crisis hit.
Back in Bangkok, amid the sharp economic downturn, his father's property company collapsed and the family lost everything.
Their home was repossessed, and bank accounts seized. Then Chatri says his dad ran away, abandoning them.
His mother then homeless and alone, scraped together enough money to fly to Boston, US, where Chatri had to smuggle her into Harvard.
"I had a single dorm room, and you needed to use an electronic card pass to get into the building," says Chatri, now 45.
"So I'd coordinate with my mother to meet her at the entrance. She had nowhere else to go."
Surviving on $4 (£3) a day at his "lowest point" at Harvard, Chatri says his younger self vowed to to restore his family's fortunes using the mental strength he had gained from his life-long dedication to martial arts.
"We were left in completely bleak circumstances," he says. "It was my years of martial arts training that gave me the courage, the work ethic, and the desire to fight for my dreams, that enabled me to bring my family out of poverty."
Within a decade Chatri was a multi-millionaire who ran his own investment fund on Wall Street. And today he is the founder and boss of One Championship, a televised East Asia-wide mixed martial arts competition that is broadcast to more than one billion homes.
To be able to afford to stay at Harvard, where he was doing a master's degree in business administration, Chatri took out bank loans and started to teach muay Thai, the Thai martial art that resembles kickboxing.
Chatri had spent his teenage years training in the discipline, and even competed professionally a few times.
Juggling his studies at Harvard with teaching muay Thai, Chatri also found the time to launch a start-up company with a fellow student.
Their business was a software start-up called Next Door Solutions.
Continuing to run the firm after graduation, Chatri and his business partner moved to California and secured $38m of investment.
A few years later they sold the business for an undisclosed fee. While Chatri says he didn't pocket "enough to retire on", it was his "first taste of escaping poverty".
After Next Door Solutions, he decided on a complete change, and moved to New York to pursue a career on Wall Street.
"I was always fascinated by the stock markets, I wanted to learn about the world of global finance," he says.
Working for two large investment funds, Chatri was so impressed that in 2005 he got backing to launch his own. His business Izara Capital Management looked after $500m of investments.
But aged 37, and by then a multi-millionaire, he says he realised he wanted another change.
"When I was dirt poor, I always felt that when I made millions I'd be happy, and all my problems would be solved," says Chatri. "But something was still missing, I didn't feel fulfilled, I didn't feel I was doing what I wanted to be doing."
So in 2008 he decided to quit banking and go back to his "first love" of martial arts.
Chatri was living in Singapore at the time where he had located himself to launch an Asian branch of his investment fund.
Wanting to set up some sort of martial arts business, his brainwave was the fact that there wasn't a pan-Asian martial arts competition.
So he decided to launch such a thing, which he would televise.
It would be a mixed martial arts tournament, meaning that fighters could use any form of martial arts. So a person expert in muay Thai could go into the ring against someone who has a black belt in karate.
Thanks to Chatri's decade on Wall Street, he had the contacts he needed to raise the required funds. And at the same time his martial arts background meant that the various sports governing bodies were confident enough in him to come on board.
And poaching sports broadcast talent from around the world, his business, the One Championship, was launched in 2011.
An immediate success, One Championship fights are now broadcast on Fox Sports Asia.
There are 10 different weight classes for men, and one for women. Meanwhile the events are held in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.
While One Championship has not released its financial details, Chatri says it is on track to achieve a market value of $1bn "in the near future" thanks to broadcast revenues and ticket sales.
James Goyder, a sports journalist who has been writing about Asian mixed martial arts for almost a decade, says Chatri is undoubtedly "determined, focused and driven".
"In less that five years he has grown One Championship into one of the most recognisable sporting brands in Asia," adds Mr Goyder.
Although One Championship is currently a lot smaller than its US mixed martial arts rival, Ultimate Fighting Championship (which was recently sold for $4bn), some commentators say that One has bigger growth potential because of its dominance of the Asian marketplace, and the region's vast population.
One Championship is holding 15 events across East Asia this year, compared with just one for Ultimate Fighting Championship.
While a One Championship fight can look pretty brutal, Chatri - who still practises muay Thai - insists that people in the West still have a "misconception that martial arts are all about fighting and violence".
"The reality in Asia is that it is a lifestyle, and a platform to unleash your potential as a human being."
Resuming on 15-0, the visitors looked in danger of a three-day defeat when they slumped to 103-6 just after lunch.
But Hosein (108) shared a 96-run stand with debutant Greg Cork, son of former England Test all-rounder Dominic Cork.
After being bowled out for 248, Derbyshire then closed on 15-1.
Worcestershire vice-captain Leach, who took 5-60 in Derbyshire's first innings, struck an early blow in the second innings when he removed Ben Slater.
That took him past his previous best of 59 to 64 Championship wickets for the season, in addition to scoring more than 600 runs.
Hosein's fourth successive fifty-plus score was a great response by the 20-year-old to the arrival of Gary Wilson from Surrey on a three-year contract, which was announced earlier this week.
Assistant coach Matt Mason told BBC Herefordshire & Worcestershire:
"It was a flat, slow pitch but a fantastic day really. To take 11 wickets was a great effort from the boys. I'm really pleased for the bowling group as they've had it tough this year.
"It was one of the few occasions where the group of bowlers strung overs together from both ends and, even when they had that good partnership, they still hung in there and got their rewards.
"'Leachy' is on 64 with wickets now which is a fantastic effort. It's not a fluke or coincidence that he gets his rewards like that because he works so hard. He never stops trying.
"He puts the ball in the right areas, he bowls what I call a very brave length, a bit fuller than most bowlers do in this competition."
Derbyshire's Harvey Hosein told BBC Radio Derby:
"It was a really special feeling, getting my maiden first-class hundred. I've felt in good form in the last few games and long may it continue.
"I've worked very hard on my technique and temperament and things and luckily it is paying dividends. Hopefully I can keep improving and get even bigger scores. I just want to be a consistent performer.
"The wicket is still doing a bit off the seam but it seems to be a bit quicker now than earlier in the game so hopefully we can apply ourselves and get the runs we need."
Officials in Texas said that Ethan Couch, 18, and his mother Tonya, planned his escape out of the country.
They were arrested in the resort town of Puerto Vallarta on Monday night.
Couch made headlines by avoiding jail for the crash, which killed four people, after claiming his privileged upbringing was to blame.
An arrest warrant was issued earlier this month for Couch after he failed to report to his probation officer.
Police believe he fled because he had broken the terms of his probation, which prevented him from drinking.
At a news conference on Tuesday, Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said a warrant would be issued for Tonya Crouch on charges of hindering and apprehension.
She and her son planned their disappearance and even held a going-away party, he said, which showed how "pre-meditated" his escape was.
Couch dyed his hair and beard to change his appearance, said the sheriff, adding that it clearly did not work.
There is no evidence that the father was involved but the investigation continues, he added.
In 2013, when aged 16, Couch crashed into a stationary car while drunk, killing four people and injuring several others.
He pleaded guilty and a judge sentenced him in juvenile court to 10 years' probation and a stint in a rehabilitation centre.
A psychologist at this trial successfully argued that his privileged upbringing - an unrecognised condition known as "affluenza" - meant his parents had not properly instilled in him a sense of responsibility for his actions.
Texas authorities will now try to move his case from the juvenile system so that he can be treated as an adult - raising the possibility of a prison sentence.
The EU does not allow state support of a business if it would distort competition in the single market.
The final decision on whether state aid is allowed is down to the European Commission.
It applies rules agreed by every country in the EU.
But the steel industry is a special case.
Because the European Union already produces more steel than it needs, the member states of the EU agreed to allow uneconomical producers to go bust, rather than let governments save them.
So that is the first question for Port Talbot and the other parts of Tata Steel UK - can they survive on their own? If they can't then the government's hands are tied.
There are some ways round the rules.
The first is national security. Under the 1957 Treaty of Rome, one of the founding treaties of the EU, countries can "take any measures necessary" if an industry is essential to national security.
This is supposed to refer to arms, munitions and "war material". Does it apply to hot rolled steel? Legal experts think it's unlikely, although Lord West, the former First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff has told the BBC that UK production is vital for the defence sector.
The second is a move to avoid "a serious disturbance to the economy". This was one of the arguments used to justify the bank bailouts.
It might also be used to justify aid to the Greek banking system.
But the loss of 15,000 UK jobs - or even 40,000 UK and European jobs - may simply not be considered a serious enough disturbance by the European Commission to justify a government handout.
The last option isn't state aid at all. A government can own a company under state aid rules but it is not allowed to keep it going if it would otherwise fail.
This is the closest the government can come to "nationalisation".
If the government can convince the European Commission that buying a business is a sensible move that any investor would make for a profit then it is not classified as state aid.
However with Port Talbot reportedly losing £1 million a day this may be a tough sell.
State aid is not banned in the European Union, but it is tightly controlled, and in 2008 the banks met the necessary criteria for a bailout.
As well as being vital for the stability of the economy, it was generally accepted that the UK banking sector had a profitable future.
The aim of the EU state aid rules is to ensure any government intervention produces a sustainable independent industry.
As far as the rules are concerned, it is hard to make that argument for the UK steel industry.
However, in the coming weeks many people will be doing just that, and adding that it is the government's role to provide a bridge - of some sort - to a sustainable future for UK steel.
The Orica-BikeExchange rider had broken clear of the peloton when he crashed as an inflatable arch that marks 1km to go collapsed in front of him.
Tour organisers have taken the seven-second lead that Yates held over the peloton at the 3km mark into account.
Yates is second behind yellow jersey holder Greg van Avermaet of Belgium.
The Bury rider is five minutes 50 seconds adrift of BMC Racing's Van Avermaet following the revision, one second ahead of Etixx-Quick-Step's Julian Alaphilippe.
"There's not much you can do," said 23-year-old Yates, who also holds the white jersey for highest placed under-25 rider. "I had no time to react. It's a good job it was just me on my own or it could have been a lot worse."
The stage was won by Britain's Steve Cummings, while defending champion Chris Froome of Team Sky was unaffected by the crash and is sixth overall.
1. Greg van Avermaet (Bel/BMC Racing) 34hrs 9mins 44secs
2. Adam Yates (GB/Orica-BikeExchange) +5mins 50secs
3. Julian Alaphilippe (Fra/Etixx-Quick-Step) +5mins 51secs
4. Alejandro Valverde (Spa/Movistar) +5mins 53secs
5. Joaquim Rodriguez (Spa/Katusha) +5mins 54secs
6. Chris Froome (GB/Team Sky) +5mins 57secs

The 32 year old had already eagled the 10th to add to three birdies before birdieing the final two holes for a round of 66 to reach 14 under.
Overnight leader Henrik Stenson dropped to second after a 70 with two dropped shots in his final three holes.
Defending champion Danny Willett is 10 strokes adrift in a share of 11th.
Leishman, whose 2012 Travelers Championship victory on the PGA Tour remains his sole professional title, was in a three-way play-off for The Open at St Andrews in July, won by Zach Johnson.
He defied temperatures which at times exceeded 40 degrees celsius at the picturesque Gary Player Country Club in the North West province, sending his approach to seven feet to set up an eagle at the 547-yard par five 10th.
At both of the closing par fours he pitched to within five feet for further birdies and said: "It was fun, I was driving the ball really well there on the back nine and managed to roll in some putts. It was a good day.
"I've been in this position a few times in big events so it's great to draw on that experience. I've come up short a couple of times but I've won tournaments before and I'm looking forward to having a chance."
Stenson, who gave himself just a 5% chance of playing this week after spending three days in bed with the flu, said: "I was feeling better when I started but playing in 38 degrees certainly takes it out of you."
Walking behind the tall, concrete tower blocks of Brixton's Loughborough Estate there's an unlikely sight. Against a backdrop of railway arches, young people trot around the floodlit manege of the Ebony Horse Club, an organisation founded in 2006 to teach equestrian skills to local children.
In this inner city neighbourhood, some children battle with a plethora of problems at both home and school, leading to truancy, high rates of teenage pregnancy, self harm and homelessness.
These issues are epitomised by the murder of Nathan Foster - a member of the club - who was shot in gang-related activity just a year after it was founded.
The organisation intends to be a safe haven away from these problems, mentoring children through a mix of sessions with youth workers, as well as helping them get into colleges and employment using their newfound equestrian skills.
One member who benefited in this way is Natasha, who is now studying equine performance and business management at Writtle College, a partner of the University of Essex.
She first came to the club when her confidence was at a low ebb.
"If Ebony wasn't there for me, then I certainly wouldn't be in halls at university," said Natasha.
"I don't know if I would have ever gone through any sort of higher education, since I didn't believe I had the confidence to study away from home."
As well as building confidence and teaching a practical skill, working with the horses teaches the children responsibility as, in addition to riding them, they must groom and care for the steeds.
Linda Hinds, the operations manager of the stables, also believes that due to the size of the horses, the children are made to think about their actions, giving many of them their first positive contact with an animal.
Nahshon is one of Ebony's oldest members, having started to ride at the age of nine.
Having overcome a lot, he now works at Trent Park Equestrian Centre in North London.
"Learning to ride kept me out of trouble, and being at Ebony definitely helped me become a better and more independent person," he said.
"I was encouraged to step up and take control of my life.
"Without it, my life would be very different, and I would probably would have been in prison.
"In the future, I always want to be around horses."
With membership numbers having grown from five to 79 over the past decade, about 140 young people now visit the centre every week.
The waiting list is more than a year long, but priority is given to children from the immediate area, alongside referrals from social services and doctors, such as one young man with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Lynden, 14, who has been riding for the past five years, said: "Ebony Horse Club pushes me to be more, and gives me time and space to let go of what's happening in the outside world."
The F40 group, which campaigned for 20 years for the funding overhaul, is warning that some poorly funded areas, and schools within them, will lose out.
Its vice-chair, Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk, says it is important "one injustice isn't replaced with another".
Ministers say their plans will end unequal funding across the country.
Education Secretary Justine Greening has highlighted how a school in Barnsley could receive 50% less than a school facing similar challenges in Hackney, east London.
This is due to extra funds having been directed in the past to areas of higher deprivation and need.
But many argue this is based on historical levels of need now out of date.
The cross-party F40 group represents 41 local authority members with historically low education funding.
Supported by MPs, councillors, education directors, heads, teachers and parents, it has long argued that the existing funding model is outdated, has no rationale and is unfair.
It has highlighted how pupils on different sides of a council boundary can attract very different levels of funding.
Ministers agreed the existing system was outdated and unjustifiable, and after a series of delays the government published a final consultation on the proposals in December 2016.
The plans are set to be implemented in 2018-19.
F40 chairman Ivan Ould, a Leicestershire County Council member, said: "The proposed funding formula indicates a total gain of £183m for F40 member authorities once the national formula is fully implemented from 2019-20.
"But that has to be tempered by an outcome that none of us really anticipated: that some poorly funded authorities will not gain, and that many schools, both primary and secondary, within poorly funded authorities will actually lose out."
Earlier this week, the group lobbied MPs, many of whom are alarmed that so many schools in their areas are losers.
The group argues:
The proportion of black and Asian officers is "simply not good enough", Mrs May said, adding that stop and search reforms "must continue".
But some say it is hard to recruit BME officers while funds are being cut.
How does your local force rank?
The pool at Fivemiletown College was the vision of the headmaster at the time, Dr John Burrell, who wanted to ensure there was somewhere people could learn to swim after a young boy drowned in a local lake.
"I said nobody else should drown and it was also part of my plan to make it into a community school as well," he added.
"The vision was to have a facility, the start of a community school if you like, where the school buildings are used, not just left at half three or four o'clock."
On Wednesday, Dame Mary Peters, who opened the facility four years after claiming an Olympic gold medal in Munich, returned to unveil it again following recent refurbishments to upgrade the facilities.
She described the pool as a "very valuable asset for Fivemiletown" and hoped that more people would come and learn to swim there.
The refurbishment inside and outside includes new anti slip tiles and additional sports facilities for the school and local community.
It was originally built as an outdoor pool by sixth form pupils in a pre-apprenticeship class, with the help of staff and even the school bus drivers.
Dr Burrell said: "We had a professional digger to dig out the ground and they (the pupils) built it over two or three years."
The pool was constructed using hollow core concrete blocks and reinforced steel rods, and was officially opened by Dame Mary in 1976.
She returned when a roof was built over the pool to enclose it in 1995 so that it could be used all year round.
The pool has stood the test of time and Dr Burrell's vision for a community facility has been realised.
The youth annexe and sports facilities are used after school until 22:00 GMT, at weekends and during school holidays.
There are big plans for the future to develop a sensory pool, disabled facilities and an indoor arena.
Afghan-born Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, is undergoing surgery for a gunshot wound after the confrontation in New Jersey.
Republican Donald Trump immediately seized on the news as vindication of his hard line on immigration and vowed to defeat "radical Islamic terrorism".
The FBI said no other suspect was being sought over the weekend's blasts.
A huge manhunt was sparked on Monday after police publicly identified Mr Rahami as chief suspect.
Officers have refused to discuss what led them to him but senior law enforcement officials have told US media that a fingerprint collected from an unexploded device in New Jersey was key.
Linden Mayor Derek Armstead said the suspect was found sleeping in the doorway of Merdie's Tavern in Linden, New Jersey.
When a police officer went to investigate and wake him, the suspect fired on him and two police officers suffered injuries, before his arrest.
He was later charged with five counts of attempted murder of police officers over the shootout, prosecutors said.
Federal prosecutors are still determining charges over the New York-area bombings, the AP reported.
At a rally in Florida later on Monday, Mr Trump said Mr Rahami would be indulged by US authorities and this was evidence the country had become weak.
"Now we will give him amazing hospitalisation. He will be taken care of by some of the best doctors in the world."
He repeated calls for "extreme vetting" that would include an assessment of whether potential immigrants share American values.
Mr Trump also addressed revelations that the Department of Homeland Security mistakenly granted US citizenship to at least 858 immigrants who came from "special interest countries", which present a security concern or have high rates of immigration fraud.
He warned that Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's "open border" policy would only lead to more incidents such as the attacks in Minnesota and New York.
A week before the first debate between the two candidates, Mrs Clinton accused him of enabling terrorists and instead pledged to build trust between law enforcement and Muslim-American communities.

Will NYC blasts affect race for White House?
What we know so far
Profile of Ahmad Khan Rahami
The FBI said they have evidence linking Mr Rahami to devices in both New Jersey and New York, but there was no indication a terror cell was active in the area.
The bombing in the Chelsea district on Saturday night injured 29 people. An unexploded device was found nearby.
Other devices have been found or have exploded in New Jersey over the past few days.
Early on Saturday, a pipe bomb exploded in a shore town ahead of a charity race. No-one was hurt.
One of several devices found in an abandoned backpack near the railway station in Elizabeth exploded as a police robot was trying to disarm it in the early hours of Monday morning.
Local residents in Elizabeth, who had encountered Mr Rahami in his work at the family's fried chicken bar, said the family were ordinary and "Americanised".
"He's a very friendly guy, that's what's so scary," said Ryan McCann.
President Barack Obama, speaking in New York, said officials did not believe there was a connection between events in New York and New Jersey and a stabbing attack in Minnesota, also on Saturday, in which nine people were injured.
That attack was apparently carried out by a 22-year-old ethnic Somali.
The president said that the US would continue to go after so-called Islamic State (IS).
"We will continue to lead the global coalition and the fight to destroy Isil [IS] which is instigating a lot of people over the internet to carry out attacks," he said.
The rarely-seen sketch is a precursor to An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump, and is on the reverse of a self-portrait of the artist.
It has been loaned to Tate Britain as part of a display of Wright's work.
The paintings show a white cockatoo being deprived of oxygen as the formation of a vacuum is demonstrated.
Tate Britain curator Greg Sullivan said: "Having an opportunity to compare the early sketch with the final version will give us some insight into his original ideas about the work and what decisions he made to get to the final painting."
In the finished work, Wright depicts the demonstrator with his hand poised over the valve of the air pump, leaving it unclear whether the bird will die or be saved at the last minute.
However, the newly-displayed sketch shows that Wright originally planned to show the demonstrator holding his hand out to comfort a small girl, presumably offering reassurance that the bird would not die.

Derby Museum curator Lucy Bamford, who is in charge of a collection of Wright paintings, said it was rare to find an oil sketch of his work.
The sketch shows how Wright decided to "ramp up the drama" in the final version, she said.
The final version of the painting was donated to the nation in 1863 and usually hangs in the National Gallery.
It was painted in 1768 and is Wright's most renowned painting.
On the way, he became one of the most recognisable entertainers in the business, driven by what appeared to be inexhaustible energy.
He became synonymous with the plethora of game shows that seemed to dominate television light entertainment in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, although he often felt he had become typecast as the genial quizmaster.
And at an age when most performers would have put their feet up, his career enjoyed a huge revival with the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
Bruce Joseph Forsyth-Johnson was born in Edmonton, north London, on 22 February 1928.
His father owned a local garage and both his parents were Salvation Army members who sang and played music at home.
The young Bruce was a direct descendant of William Forsyth, a founder of the Royal Horticultural Society, whose name was given to the plant forsythia.
His interest in showbusiness was kindled at the age of eight and he was reportedly found tap-dancing on the flat roof after watching his first Fred Astaire film.
"As soon as I got home from school," he recalled, "I'd take up the carpet, because there was lino underneath, and start tapping away."
He made his stage debut at the age of 14 as Boy Bruce, the Mighty Atom, appearing bottom of the bill at the Theatre Royal, Bilston.
Live entertainment was a way of escaping the pressures and dangers of wartime Britain, and there was a huge demand for acts, no matter how bad they were.
Many years later he explained his motivation on a BBC chat show. "I wanted to be famous and buy my mum a fur coat."
But there was to be no fast track to success. For the next 16 years he performed in church halls and theatres across the country, sleeping in train luggage racks and waiting for the big break.
It came in 1958, at a time when he had been unemployed for more than three months and was seriously considering giving up on showbusiness.
He was asked to present Sunday Night at the London Palladium, a televised variety show, made by Lord Grade's ATV company for the ITV network.
He'd finally found the fame he had always craved, appearing not in front of a couple of hundred people in a theatre, but the more than 10 million who regularly tuned in to the show.
"The pubs would empty when it came on," he told an interviewer. "We would get calls saying: 'Can't you start it later?'"
Originally booked for two weeks, he stayed five years, by which time he was Britain's highest-paid entertainer, earning £1,000 a week (£18,700 in today's money).
But he continued touring with his variety show and the strain of combining this with his Palladium appearances took a toll on his private life.
He divorced his first wife, Penny Calvert, a dancer he'd met in the theatre, and she wrote an account of her husband's perpetual absence, called Darling, Your Dinner's in the Dustbin.
A popular element in his Palladium show was a feature called Beat the Clock, in which contestants, egged on by Forsyth, had to complete quirky tasks as a huge clock ticked down.
The segment gave a hint of his future television role and he went on to host some of the most popular television game shows of the 1970s and 80s.
With his catchphrases of "Nice to see you, to see you nice" and "Didn't he do well?" he reigned supreme at the helm of the BBC's Generation Game for six years from 1971, and again at the beginning of the 1990s.
At its peak, the programme attracted 20 million viewers, who tuned in to watch Forsyth seemingly having more fun than the competitors, enthusing over the mundane prizes on the conveyor belt.
The presenter argued with his BBC managers about the show's early evening timeslot but he eventually accepted his role as the "warm-up man" for Saturday night television.
His co-host on the show, Anthea Redfern, was each week encouraged to "give us a twirl". The couple married in 1973 but divorced six years later.
It was on the Generation Game that he introduced his famous "thinker" pose, appearing in silhouette at the beginning of each show.
The idea came from the classic circus strongman pose, something he'd perfected during his days in variety.
He repeated his success on ITV's Play Your Cards Right, where the audience joined in the cries of "higher" or "lower" as the contestants tried to guess the value of a series of playing cards.
Michael Grade said of him: "He knows how to get laughs out of people but it's never cruel and he leaves their dignity intact."
In 1995, a year after his final Generation Game appearance, he received a lifetime achievement award for variety at the British Comedy Awards and began hosting ITV's The Price is Right.
The entertainer was, by this time, a Rolls-Royce-driving multimillionaire and married since 1983 to Wilnelia Merced, a former Miss World.
He later claimed that he regretted becoming so associated with game shows and wished he'd done more variety work on TV.
Play Your Cards Right was axed in 1999 and, with changing tastes in entertainment, his TV career began to slide.
He returned to the theatre - but experienced an unexpected revival after his wife watched an edition of the satirical quiz, Have I Got News For You, and suggested he could present the programme.
After calling show regular Paul Merton, he landed the gig and offered to be "a little bit deadpan".
"But the team said, 'No, be Bruce Forsyth,'" he said.
He used the occasion to parody some of his old game shows, much to the ill-disguised disgust of team captain Ian Hislop.
But the appearance led to Forsyth, an accomplished tap dancer, being offered the job of hosting Strictly Come Dancing, which began a year later.
Viewed with scepticism when it launched, the celebrity dance show became one of the most-watched programmes on TV by the time it reached its fifth series in 2007.
He brought his own brand of avuncular good humour to the proceedings - reassuring many of the contestants with the phrase "you're my favourites".
"His particular character and personality went a long way to making the show what it is," said former contestant Ann Widdecombe.
But the presenter once revealed that Strictly "was never the show that I thought it would be".
"I thought it'd be a comedy show - me getting among the contestants and showing them how to dance, and them all falling over," he told ITV's This Morning. "It was a different show."
After missing a handful of episodes because of illness, he decided to "step down from the rigours" of presenting Strictly in 2014.
"But I'm not retiring," he insisted. "That's the last thing in the world I want to do. This isn't Brucie walking into the sunset."
He continued to host the Christmas and charity editions of Strictly until 2014 - all of which were taped, as opposed to live broadcasts.
Away from entertainment, Forsyth's biggest passion was golf and he took part in many pro-celebrity tournaments.
His house was next to the course at Wentworth, where he played with many of the world's best players, practising in the bunker in his own back garden.
During his career, Forsyth's multiple talents and years of application sparked an enduring appeal.
In 2011 he was knighted after years of campaigning by his fans and a parliamentary Early Day Motion signed by 73 MPs.
But he suffered from ill health towards the end of his life, and in 2016 his wife revealed he still had "a bit of a problem moving", following major surgery a year earlier.
Sir Bruce was one of the last entertainers from the tradition of music hall to be working on British television.
In many ways his act barely changed. The same corny gags, the same toothy smile and, above all, the same manic enthusiasm.
"On stage I think I'm 35," he once said. "Working takes over my whole body and I become a younger man - that's why I won't stop."
He will be particularly remembered for his ability to transform run-of-the-mill party games into glorious moments of mayhem that enthralled contestants and audiences alike.

Ian Walters, 51, is accused of steering his vehicle off the road at about 80mph, in Leicestershire, to kill his wife Tracy.
The Swindon couple were returning from a Yorkshire holiday described as make or break, Leicester Crown Court heard.
Mr Walters denies murder and described his wife as a "big ray of hope".
The driving examiner, who retrained after taking redundancy from Barclays Bank, met Mrs Walters in 2011.
The pair, who both had children from previous relationships, moved in together within a few months and were married in Cyprus the following year.
Asked what he felt about her, he said: "She was my world, I couldn't believe that she was interested in me, couldn't believe the attention she was showing me.
"It was absolutely wonderful after a very hard time dealing with my first marriage break-up."
The prosecution alleges he killed his wife after a series of rows caused by his unreasonable sexual demands.
He told the court they had a "dramatic and adventurous" sex life but often argued because of poor communication.
But he admitted he had caused physical injury by trying to stop her from leaving a room during a row, instead hoping she would stay to sort out their problems.
The incident caused bruising to her upper arms the court was told.
The jury also heard about Mr Walters' difficulty sleeping and the drugs he had been prescribed to help and it was alleged he used sex as a way of helping him sleep.
He told the court he had fallen asleep while driving on two previous occasions but that nobody had been hurt in either incident.
They had been part of the reason he decided to leave his job as a senior credit compliance manager, he said.
The case continues.
Hampshire County Council is consulting over plans to merge Fort Hill Community School in Basingstoke with Cranbourne Business and Enterprise College.
The authority said just 39 parents picked Fort Hill as a first choice for their children in September 2017 out of a possible 145 pupil places.
Critics said the council should help the school improve instead of close it.
Hampshire County Council has already announced separate plans to build a new secondary school at the Manydown development, which is near Fort Hill, where a further 4,000 homes are planned.
Campaigner Deborah Chowney said: "I think this is about them not being able to get this school to where it should be.
"Fort Hill requires improvement and Cranbourne is inadequate, says Ofsted. You're not going to send your child to a school that's struggling."
Basingstoke and Deane borough councillor Paul Harvey, Labour, said more than 1,000 people had so far signed a petition to save the school, which has space for 750 pupils.
He said: "The county council needs to be supporting the school to become the school we all want it to be."
Stephen Reid, Conservative county councillor for Basingstoke North West, said: "It's not the county council that's proposing to do this - the governing body which runs Cranbourne and Fort Hill has instigated this consultation.
"It's very sad but I can understand the governors are taking this route because, if the parents are voting with their children's feet and only having 39 registering for next September, it would be impossible for a secondary school to attract the teachers and the quality of education that it wants.
"We have to provide a quality education locally that people want and I think the best way to do that is the new school at Manydown."

Niall Rowland, Stefan Campbell, Niall Grimley, Andrew Murnin, Rory Grugan and Anto Duffy netted for the Orchard side in a one-sided Athletic Grounds game.
It was much closer in Drogheda with Eoin O'Connor and Ryan Burns getting the Louth goals while Ryan Murray was on target for the Saffrons.
Armagh move up to second with Antrim remaining in relegation trouble.
The Orchard side were aiming to build on last weekend's win over Longford and they made a superb start, surging to a 1-7 to 0-0 lead after just nine minutes.
Rowland fired into the bottom corner while the points came from Stephen Sheridan, Campbell (2), Charlie Vernon, Duffy, Grugan and Murnin.
Offally registered the next four points but there was to be no comeback as the remainder of the game became a procession of Orchard scores.
Murnin set up Campbell for the second goal and Grimley's clinical strike left it 3-10 to 0-6 at the break.
Murnin fisted in after a goalmouth scramble on the restart before Gurgan was presented with a simple finish after a classy Armagh move.
Duffy netted the final goal from a Gavin McParland pass as Armagh put themselves in contention for promotion.
"We planned to get a good start and we backed that up with a decent half-time advantage," said Orchard forward Grugan.
"It just clicked for us - there has been a fresh influx of players which has created a buzz and we've pushed on."
Antrim pushed Louth to the end in a close encounter but lost out by two points.
The opening two goals came early in the game with O'Connor hitting the Antrim net before Murray replied for the Ulster visitors.
Saffrons forward CJ McGourty slotted over to level but points from Bevan Duffy and Paraic Smith gave Louth a 1-3 to 1-1 lead at half-time.
The teams exchanged scores after the interval with Kevin Niblock (2), CJ McGourty and Paddy McBride adding Antrim points.
Louth were just a point ahead when Ryan Burns scored a point before netting a penalty after he was fouled.
The goal proved decisive although Antrim stayed in touch with the impressive CJ McGouty sending over three points.
Despite the defeat Antrim have moved out of the bottom two on points difference after a heavy defeat for Laois.

Glasgow North was first to declare in the city, where Patrick Grady ousted Labour's Ann McKechin.
In doing so, he became the first SNP member of parliament to be elected in Glasgow at a general election.
Former shadow Scottish Secretary Margaret Curran and former interim Scottish party leader Anas Sarwar were among the other Labour casualties in the city.
Leader Nicola Sturgeon described the newly-elected SNP politicians as her "magnificent seven".
Natalie McGarry claimed victory over Ms Curran in Glasgow East with a swing of 31%.
In Glasgow South West, Iain Davidson lost his seat to the SNP's Christopher Stephens, while in Glasgow North East a UK-record swing of 39% saw Willie Bain lose to Anne McLaughlin.
Stuart McDonald took Glasgow South from Labour's Tom Harris.
Carol Monaghan won the Glasgow North West constituency, with Labour's John Robertson losing his seat.
The final victory for the SNP in the city came in Glasgow Central where Anas Sarwar, who had succeeded his father Mohammad Sarwar as the Labour MP, lost out to the SNP's Alison Thewliss.
Natalie McGarry, who ousted Ms Curran to become the new MP for Glasgow East, said the SNP had had "a fantastic campaign".

The letters are intended to confirm the accuracy of HMRC's records for the 2.6 million taxpayers who live in Scotland and who will pay the new rate.
Recipients will not need to take any action if the address details HMRC holds for them are correct.
The Scottish Rate of Income Tax comes into effect on 6 April next year.
It will be paid by UK taxpayers who live in Scotland, regardless of where they work, with the rate to be announced by the Scottish government in its draft budget on 16 December.
Those paying the new rate will see their tax code prefixed by an 'S' and their income tax will continue to be collected from pay and pensions in the same way as it is now.
The new system was a recommendation of the Calman Commission and has been devolved under the Scotland Act 2012 along with powers over stamp duty and landfill tax
It will see the UK income tax rate being reduced by 10p in the pound across all bands in Scotland, with the Scottish Parliament then setting its own rate, which could be lower, higher or exactly the same as the rest of the UK.
The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has already hinted that her government is likely to keep the Scottish rate at the same level as the rest of the UK as any tax rises or cuts would need to be applied across all tax bands.
The Scottish Parliament is to receive greater powers over income tax under the new Scotland Bill proposals which are still going through the UK Parliament and which are expected to come into force in 2018.
The Scotland Bill will hand Holyrood control over income tax rates and bands, which would give the Scottish government greater flexibility to introduce a higher rate of income tax for high earners if it wished to do so.

The Briton had not set a time when he came into the pits with the rear of his car in flames and will start from the back for the second race in succession.
Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg took pole and, barring problems, will extend his 14-point title lead on Sunday.
It is the sixth straight race in which Hamilton has hit trouble in qualifying.
Sebastian Vettel took second place after a much-improved performance in the Red Bull, with Williams' Valtteri Bottas in third.
"The engine just died," said Hamilton. "I thought I'm right next to the pit entry, so I'll roll back and at least get them to fix it. And then I looked in my mirrors and it was on fire."
At last weekend's German Grand Prix, Hamilton fought up from 20th on the grid to finish third behind Rosberg and Bottas following a brake failure in qualifying.
But overtaking is much more difficult at the tight and twisty Hungaroring than it is at Hockenheim, so Hamilton faces a long afternoon trying to make up ground.
He will start from the pit lane rather than the grid because Mercedes need to build up a new chassis and fit a new engine to it.
Rosberg, by contrast, can expect another comfortable race as long as he converts his pole position into a lead at the first corner.

Mercedes said Hamilton had suffered a fuel leak.
"I would prefer to be out there battling with Lewis and that would give me the maximum adrenaline rush," said Rosberg of his team-mate's misfortune.
It is the sixth successive race in which Hamilton has suffered problems in qualifying of one kind or another and he has not started from pole position since the Spanish Grand Prix in early May.
In Monaco, he failed to get in his final lap when Rosberg went off the track ahead of him, causing yellow caution flags to be waved and in Canada and Austria, Hamilton made mistakes on his qualifying runs.
At Silverstone, he misjudged a drying track and was knocked down from first to sixth by other drivers when he failed to do a final lap, although he did go on to win the race.
Hamilton had been keen to reverse his qualifying form and take pole and a victory at a track on which he has won four times in seven races and go into the four-week summer break having cut his deficit to Rosberg.
After Hungary, there are eight races and a maximum of 225 points available, following the controversial decision to award double points at the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.
But such is Mercedes' dominance that closing the gap on Rosberg will not be easy for Hamilton as if both cars finish they tend to be first and second, between which there is only seven points.
There was a dramatic beginning to the final top 10 shoot-out when rain started to fall just before the start of the session.
All the drivers went out on slick dry-weather tyres. Rosberg was first out and was caught out by the amount of water on the track and ran wide at the first corner but managed to rejoin the track.

McLaren's Kevin Magnussen, in the car right behind him, was not so lucky. The Dane locked up and smashed into the tyre barrier, forcing officials to stop the session for 10 minutes while repairs were made to the safety facilities.
When the session resumed, the leading positions changed consistently as the drivers swapped fastest times on slick tyres on the drying lap.
Rosberg ended up 0.486secs quicker than Vettel, who was 0.15secs ahead of Bottas.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo starts fourth ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, Williams's Felipe Massa and the second McLaren of Jenson Button.
Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne was eighth ahead of Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, with the unfortunate Magnussen 10th, although the Dane will start from the pit lane following a chassis and gearbox change.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was the victim of a terrible misjudgement by his team.
They decided to not go out for a second run in the first part of qualifying with either car.
But while Alonso progressed comfortably, Raikkonen was 0.7secs slower than his team-mate and he was pipped in the final seconds by the Ferrari-engined Marussia of Jules Bianchi. Raikkonen will start 17th.

Hungarian Grand Prix coverage details
Mr Tsang, who led Hong Kong from 2005 to 2012, had faced three charges of misconduct and bribery.
He was cleared of a second count of misconduct and the jury failed to reach a verdict on a third charge of accepting an advantage.
Mr Tsang is the most senior Hong Kong official to face a corruption trial.
The case has worried a territory that prides itself on its relatively clean reputation.
The charges, which each carried a maximum of seven years in prison, related to events which took place near the end of his term between 2010 and 2012.
Prosecutors accused Mr Tsang of engaging in a number of conflicts of interest without declaring them, including renting a luxury flat in mainland China from the shareholder of a broadcast company, Wave Media, whose license applications he approved.
They alleged the flat was redecorated for free for him and that he later nominated the interior designer for an honour.
The jury, which deliberated for two days, found him guilty of misconduct over his failure to disclose the lease of the flat, but dismissed the charge related to the designer.
It did not reach a verdict on whether he accepted a bribe in the form of the refurbishment. Sentencing will take place on Monday, AFP reported.
Mr Tsang, 72, has previously insisted his conscience is clear.
A career civil servant, he rose through the ranks to become Hong Kong's second chief executive, following Tung Chee-hwa.
His deputy, former Chief Secretary Rafael Hui, was jailed for accepting bribes from a property tycoon in 2014.
Just days after being treated to a veritable treasure trove of strange presidential assertions and non sequiturs in a previously unreleased Wall Street Journal interview, the public has been offered a blast from the (recent) past in leaked records of Mr Trump's phone conversations with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
The conversations took place on the same day in January, in the US president's first week in office, during a marathon session of phone calls to world leaders. It gives an inside view into how Mr Trump talks when he doesn't think the public is listening (hint: it's not much different from his public performances).
Here are some highlights.
TRUMP: "Well, Canada is no problem - do not worry about Canada, do not even think about them. That is a separate thing and they are fine and we have had a very fair relationship with Canada. It has been much more balanced and much more fair. So we do not have to worry about Canada, we do not even think about them."
AZ: This could be an example of the Trump administration's seeming preference for bilateral trade negotiations, rather than multi-party agreements like Nafta. While the president professed to have "no problem" with Canada, since his conversation with Mr Pena Nieto, Mr Trump has been quite critical of his northern neighbour, blasting the nation's policies on dairy and soft lumber exports.
TRUMP: "I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den."
AZ: Donald Trump lost New Hampshire in the general election, but he won its Republican primary last February, which cemented his status as the front-runner for the party's nomination. While he was campaigning there he acknowledged the state's opioid addiction epidemic, but never in such derogatory terms.
TRUMP: "You have some pretty tough hombres in Mexico that you may need help with, and we are willing to help you with that big-league. But they have to be knocked out and you have not done a good job of knocking them out."
AZ: The "tough hombre" line had leaked - and been roundly derided as insensitive - shortly after the president had his conversation with Mr Nieto. Now it can be viewed in context, which doesn't do much to help the president appear diplomatic.
TRUMP: "If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that," he said. "You cannot say that to the press".
AZ: One of Mr Trump's key campaign promises runs up against a cold hard reality critics had pointed out from the very beginning. Mexico just isn't going to pay for the border wall. The president seems to recognise his predicament and the public relations fiasco that could result. His solution? Trying to convince Mr Pena Nieto to stop talking about it to the press.
TRUMP: "It is you and I against the world, Enrique, do not forget."
AZ: Well, this is a strange sentiment given that Mexico - and undocumented Mexican immigrants - were a regular punching bag for Mr Trump for much of his presidential campaign. Mr Pena Nieto's flattery throughout the conversation seems to have softened the president's attitude, at least for the moment.
TRUMP: "Your words are so beautiful. Those are beautiful words and I do not think I can speak that beautifully, okay? It would be great to put those words at the end of the statement."
AZ: During the campaign, Mr Trump once boasted: "I know the best words." Perhaps the president is acknowledging that, in Mr Pena Nieto, he's finally met his match.
TRUMP: "This [refugee resettlement deal] is going to kill me. I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."
AZ: Mr Trump apparently walked into his phone call with Mr Turnbull with no clear understanding of the details of the refugee resettlement agreement, aside from what "somebody" told him the day before.
TRUMP: "I guarantee you they [refugees] are bad. That is why they are in prison right now. They are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people."
AZ: The refugees in question were being detained, not imprisoned - a key difference. And, as Mr Turnbull points out, the US did not agree to admit all 1,250 individuals, but rather to screen them and then admit only those who would pose no threat to the "milk people".
TRUMP: "That is why they lost the election, because of stupid deals like this. You have brokered many a stupid deal in business and I respect you, but I guarantee that you broke many a stupid deal. This is a stupid deal."
AZ: One seldom has to wait for long for Mr Trump to bring up the 2016 presidential election, whether it's in a phone call with a foreign leader, a White House event for a championship sports team or a speech to a Boy Scout jubilee. That - and the art of successful deal-making - are the president's two favourite topics of discussion. Mr Turnbull gets a two-for-one special.
TRUMP: "What is the thing with boats? Why do you discriminate against boats?"
AZ: One of the things Mr Trump doesn't seem to understand is why Australia will not grant asylum to anyone who arrives on its soil by seagoing vessel. As Mr Turnbull tries to explain, the reason is to discourage human traffickers and make the dangerous water voyage less appealing to refugees. It has nothing to do with the country of origin of the refugees or the perceived risk associated with granting them residency.
TRUMP: "I have had it. I have been making these calls all day and this is the most unpleasant call all day. Putin was a pleasant call. This is ridiculous."
AZ: There were news reports after the conversation that Mr Trump's interactions with Mr Turnbull were less than cordial. The president and the White House denied it, but the transcript tells a different story. The line about Vladimir Putin is just the icing on the cake.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) report was released in July 2014 "with many words left out", a council spokesman said.
Following a unanimous vote, the council will write to Defra, asking for the report to be published in full "in the interests of transparency".
Defra said that was not possible.
A spokeswoman for the department said while the redacted draft paper was online, the full report was "an internal document" which would not be published.
Councillor Marcus Johnstone, who proposed the motion to ask for the Shale Gas Rural Economy Impacts report to be published in full, said it could be "a valuable source of information, but it was heavily redacted".
"Many people have concerns about the potential development of a shale gas industry, including the availability of relevant information about how the industry might affect the community they live in.
"The council will now formally ask the government to release the report in full, in the interests of transparency."
Fellow councillor Gina Dowding, who seconded the motion, said "a large amount of information has been left out of the published version and it appears that the omissions include some significant details".
The council is due to decide whether to grant energy firm Cuadrilla planning permission to frack at two sites in Lancashire in April.
Council planners recommended refusal in January, prompting Cuadrilla's successful request for a deferral until 30 April.
Fracking - or hydraulic fracturing - is a technique in which water and chemicals are pumped into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas.
Taylor took an indefinite break from cricket in May 2016 to help deal with anxiety problems.
The 28-year-old returned to England action for a one-day international against Ireland in Dubai in April.
"She'll have learned a lot about herself and faced up to a lot of battles," Robinson told BBC Sussex.
"She feels confident enough to put herself forward for selection. We've got a bit of time to go yet for her to keep doing what we call a graduated return and that's what she's done.
"She's managed to conquer most of her battles at the moment, so the medical team are confident enough, she's confident enough and she's ready to go."
Taylor has played in 101 one-day internationals for England, averaging 39.76 with the bat.
"Sarah's mental wellbeing and mental health is the most important thing, and that's the same for any cricketer," Robinson continued.
"What I do know with Sarah, and with you with me or with any of us, is if you're physically fit and mentally fit you can do a lot in our jobs and in our lives so we have to protect that side of Sarah.
"If she keeps ticking the right boxes and doing the right things to keep her mental health going and her physical fitness going, she's got every chance of having a really successful World Cup."
The group, which included nine Britons, were detained on 10 July during a tour of ancient China and accused of watching banned terrorist videos.
The tourists said that the incident was a misunderstanding, and that they were watching a documentary about Genghis Khan.
The BBC's Carrie Gracie reports from Ordos.
The Belfast Telegraph and the The Irish News reported on Wednesday that the book had received funding from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland (ACNI).
The book was written by the graphic novelist Gerry Hunt and published by O'Brien Press in Dublin.
Bobby Sands was one of ten hunger strikers who died in the Maze Prison in 1981. Unionists described the book as "republican propaganda".
The Arts Council has been criticised for funding the publication of the illustrated book called "Bobby Sands, Freedom Fighter".
The council is funded by Stormont's culture and arts department.
The BBC understands that the fact that Bobby Sands would be the subject of the book would have been made known to ACNI in O'Brien's application for a grant, but not the title or content of the book.
The UK National Lottery also part-funded the publication.
In a statement, the Arts Council said it had received a "strong application" from O'Brien Press, which is described as one of Ireland's largest publishers, and said it had "satisfied all of our criteria".
The Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott said he believed the book glorified terrorism.
"What does concern me is that the Arts Council have given money to this book that is really a glorification of Bobby Sands' life as a terrorist," he said.
Danny Morrison is the secretary of the Bobby Sands Trust and one of the characters featured in the graphic novel.
"Bobby Sands spent a third of his life in jail," he said.
"He was 27 years of age when he died after 66 days on hunger strike. He was the MP for Fermanagh-South Tyrone. He was a poet and a writer.
"Bobby Sands is a role model because he's an Irish patriot."
The hunger strike began in the prison as a protest by republican prisoners over their right to be treated as 'special category' political prisoners rather than criminals.
During his time on hunger strike Bobby Sands stood for election as an MP for Fermanagh-South Tyrone and was elected. He died less than a month later on 5 May 1981.
The BBC One comedy reached 9.69 million viewers, up from a live Christmas Day audience of 7.61 million.
Call the Midwife was the second most popular show, attracting 9.4 million.
Viewing figures were generally down on last year, with nearly two million fewer people watching the number one rated show than last year.
Irish-based sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys, starring Brendan O'Carroll, also topped the Christmas Day ratings last year, but the number of viewers dropped from the 11.5 million it attracted then.
The Queen's Christmas Message, the most watched programme live, fell to 7th position with a total of 8.04 million viewers.
BBC One had six of the top 10 most watched programmes while ITV had four - the channels shared the Queen's Christmas Broadcast at 15:00 GMT, which was also aired on Sky News and Sky One.
The Queen used her broadcast to highlight the importance of reconciliation between people, speaking of the impact of the Scottish independence referendum, and recalling the moment German and British soldiers put down their weapons and met on Christmas Day in 1914.
Strictly Come Dancing's Christmas special, which saw gymnast Louis Smith scoop the champion title for a second time, attracted 8.98 million viewers, putting it in third position.
Sitcom Miranda, which drew to a close on 1 January in a two-part special, was in fourth position with 8.65 million viewers and an audience share of 30.6%.
BBC drama Doctor Who was in 6th position with 8.28 million viewers, a decline on the 11.1 million viewers last year, when former Doctor Matt Smith was seen regenerating into Peter Capaldi.
ITV's highest rating Christmas Day show was for Coronation Street with 6.65 million viewers tuning in. ITV's figures do not include ITV+1.
Rea, 29, saw off the challenge of his Kawasaki team-mate Tom Sykes, pulling away in the latter stages for the 10th double win of his career in the series.
The Northern Irishman finished 2.96 seconds ahead of Sykes, who also had to settle for second in Saturday's opener.
Davide Giugliano was third on Sunday, but Chaz Davies crashed out on lap two.
"I'm so happy to have made it a double win here. I learned some things from the race that I didn't see on Saturday and I was able to apply that at the end of the race," said Rea.
Rea began the eighth round of the championship by taking victory in a thrilling race one by just 0.09 seconds on Saturday.
Dutchman Michael van der Mark finished third, before being taken out by Welshman Davies in race two.
After winning five of this season's opening eight races, Rea had been without a victory in six starts, before returning to winning ways at the Italian circuit.
His successes made it 16 podiums from as many starts for the Northern Irishman this season.
The Isle of Man-based rider secured his maiden win in the global series at Misano in 2009 and has gone on to add a further 35 triumphs since then.
Huddersfield's Sykes has won four times this season and took victory in both races at the previous round at Donington Park.
The next round of the series will be staged at Laguna Seca in the United States on 9 and 10 July.
That will be followed by an eight-week break, before the final run of rounds which takes in Germany, France and Spain, before concluding in Qatar on 29 and 30 October.
The volume of sales grew by 0.3% compared with June, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
However, the figure for June's retail sales growth was revised down from 0.6% to 0.3%.
The latest data shows that the volume of food sales rose by 1.5% in July, having fallen by 1.1% in June.
The ONS said all other sectors saw a fall in volume sales apart from household goods.
Ole Black, ONS senior statistician, said that overall it was a "relatively subdued picture" in retail sales".
"Strong food sales have been responsible for the growth of 0.3% in July compared with June, as all other main sectors have shown a decrease. Whilst the overall growth is the same as in June, trends in growth in different sectors are proving quite volatile," he said.
However, Ruth Gregory, UK economist at Capital Economics, said the July figures were "fairly encouraging given the recent intensification of the squeeze on consumers' real incomes and suggest that talk of a sharp consumer slowdown has been overdone".
She said there had been few signs of a sharp slowdown in spending growth away from the high street.
"What's more, with annual retail sales values growth remaining at a still strong 4.1% in July, this suggests that consumers haven't been tightening their belts as a result of Brexit uncertainty," she said.
Ben Brettell, senior economist at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the figures showed the UK consumer was "extraordinarily resilient".
"Spending has defied expectations of a slowdown since the Brexit referendum, and currently seems to be holding up despite weak wage growth and above-target inflation," he added.
"This could bode well for economic growth - the UK economy is heavily reliant on the consumer, and economists had expected falling real incomes to eventually translate into weak retail sales."
However, the continuing difficulties for retailers was underlined on Thursday when Kingfisher reported a 1.9% fall in like-for-like sales for the three months to 31 July.
The group's operations include DIY chain B&Q, whose sales fell 4.7%.
PwC economic advisor, Andrew Sentance said the underlying picture on the High Street remained one of "subdued growth".
"Consumers may also be becoming more cautious about spending because of the political uncertainty following the General Election and surrounding the Brexit process.
"However, the main factor squeezing consumers is the weakness of the pound against other major currencies which is pushing up import prices and fuelling inflation," he added.
"UK consumers are watching and waiting - for inflation to subside and for the post-Brexit to become clearer. Until there is some relief on these two key issues, subdued growth of retail sales looks set to continue through this year and into 2018."
Prof Sir Mark Walport will be responsible for all public research spending in Britain next year.
In an exclusive interview with BBC News, Prof Walport said that he wants to be a "powerful voice for science" in dealing with government.
In the first interview in his new role, he sets out his vision for the new research agency he heads.
Currently, UK research is funded by nine separate organisations. Each body specialises in specific fields, such as environmental research, the physical science and the biosciences.
The system has contributed to Britain leading the world in many areas of research.
The government is replacing it with the United Kingdom Research and Innovation agency (UKRI), which will oversee and co-ordinate the work of the research organisations when it formally takes control on 1 April 2018.
But as its new chief executive, Prof Walport - currently the government's chief scientist - is already working to ensure that the new agency hits the ground running.
Critics of the reform fear that the "super research council" will direct research centrally and be driven by economic priorities and the whims of ministers - rather than support the best curiosity-driven research as the current system allows and encourages.
Prof Walport told me that these fears were "completely wrong".
"We are going to continue to support the brightest minds to tackle the problems as they see them," he told BBC News.
"Our job quite simply is to help the scientific community tackle the whole range of fundamental questions. It simply wouldn't be to anyone at the top of UKRI to pose the questions."
Prof Walport said the individual councils will stay and have a high degree of autonomy. And he pledged to appoint "the strongest people" to lead them.
So if the research councils are going to be left to get on with what they already do so well, why add an extra layer of bureaucracy?
Quite simply, it was because the Treasury was sceptical of what it saw as an uncoordinated research funding system with no strategic oversight or coordinated planning.
The creation of UKRI has already been a success in this respect. Reassured by the restructuring, the Prime Minister announced an extra £4.7bn for research spread over four years. In 2020, Prof Walport will have a total of £8bn to spend.
But he will be under pressure to deliver, so the investment from the Treasury continues.
He tells me his aim is to make the UK funding system "the best in the world", one fit for purpose in the 21st Century.
"By bringing it all together under the umbrella of UKRI we can have a powerful voice for research and innovation at a time when we really need that voice with the global challenges the world faces," he said.
"It's about having a strong voice representing those (research) communities that have so much to offer to society in terms of solving societal problems."
A key role for UKRI will be to get researchers out of their silos and encourage scientists from different fields to work together. Another is to help deliver the government's industrial strategy which aims to focus efforts on areas of scientific and technological strength for the benefit of the economy.
And one of the main challenges Prof Walport will face is the impact of Brexit. British universities employ about 30,000 scientists from EU countries and in collaboration with small businesses, receive £850m in research grants each year from the European Union.
Prof Walport says that he takes heart from the fact that the Prime Minster has on several occasions said that she appreciates the importance of UK science.
"There is no doubt about the vitality of our future research and innovation infrastructure depends on having the most skilled people from wherever they come," he told BBC News.
"I think that that is a message that is well recognised by government. Our job is to provide the support and the leadership and the mechanisms to enable us to remain at the forefront which we will do by remaining very global in our outlook.
"We have to have the confidence that there will be a solution that recognises that research and innovation are international activities."
Prof Walport was also keen to stress that the new agency includes the Arts and Humanities Research Council whose ideas he hopes the other research councils will draw on.
The acronym "Stem" is used to describe activities in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics. Prof Walport said: "The Industrial Revolution was driven by the steam engine. And I think that this industrial revolution is driven by "Steam" as well by which I mean science, technology, engineering arts and mathematics.
"And if you think what it is that makes modern technology usable is the sort of design element. So if you put all that together, then the opportunity [exists] to strengthen what's already a very strong research and innovation mechanism in the UK. That means getting the synergies and making the whole greater than the sum of the parts."

It protects the A174 route between Whitby and Sandsend in North Yorkshire.
Worn-out defences have been replaced along a 0.6 mile (1km) stretch of the road, a popular tourist route, where it runs close to the shoreline.
Several landslips had led to costly repairs over the years and road closures, North Yorkshire County Council said.

Darren Stephenson-Bennett, from Newton Aycliffe, crashed on a roundabout at the junction of the A68 and A1(M) near Darlington, County Durham.
The 28-year-old was last seen at a party on Saturday 27 August and was found dead by police seven days later after a phone call from the public.
He was confirmed dead at the scene but police say they are not sure when the crash happened.
It is thought Mr Stephenson-Bennett failed to negotiate the roundabout and went through a chevron board before hitting some trees, police said.
Insp Ed Turner said: "It's inevitable those questions will be asked of the police as to why we haven't found him before this time.
"There was a comprehensive missing from home investigation undertaken by Durham Constabulary. We didn't locate him.
"He went missing on the Saturday and wasn't reported missing until the Tuesday so we had a bit of catch up to play with."
In a statement, Mr Stephenson-Bennett's family said: "Darren was a much-loved husband, father, son and brother who was devoted to his family and his daughters.
"Darren was a popular person who would do anything for anybody.
"He was well-liked by all who knew him, extremely laid back and easy going, and no-one had a bad word to say about him."
The 23-year-old Slovakia-born former Chelsea trainee made the announcement on his Facebook page.
"After thinking about my future I chose not to accept the terms offered from Walsall for a simple reason," he said. "We did not agree on the new deal so it was best to move on."
Lalkovic was in his second spell at the Banks's Stadium.
He first arrived from Chelsea on a six-month loan in the summer of 2013, before returning last summer.
All 14 of his goals in 126 appearances in English football have come with Walsall.
He had a loan spell in his Chelsea days with Doncaster Rovers and was then signed by Barnsley on a short-term deal in January 2015, prior to returning to Bescot.
The Condor Liberation struck the quayside at St Peter Port, in windy conditions, on Saturday afternoon.
In a statement, the company said the vessel suffered "minor damage above the waterline" and as a result, would be out of action for a couple of days.
No-one was injured but some passengers remain on Guernsey as alternative travel arrangements are made for them.
While Condor Liberation under goes repairs in Poole, Dorset, the Commodore Clipper will provide passenger services between the UK and the Channel Islands.
Sunday's sailings had already been cancelled due to forecast bad weather.
Condor Liberation completed its maiden voyage to Jersey on Friday.
The 102m (335ft) long vessel was built by Austal shipbuilders in Australia and can carry up to 880 passengers and 245 vehicles.
It is now the only fast ferry operating between Guernsey, Jersey and the UK.
Following its purchase, the firm sold the smaller Vitesse and Express ferries to Greek company Seajets, with Vitesse already delivered and Express due to follow once Condor Ferries is happy with the new ferry in service.
The Liberation is supposed to be able to operate in bigger waves than the smaller ferries, but is not yet licensed to do so.
The bigger ferry cannot operate to Weymouth so sailings to the UK port ended on Monday.
The accident took place at a power plant in Fengcheng where a cooling tower was under construction.
There were a number of people still trapped at the scene, China's Xinhua news agency reported.
Jiangxi province's fire services said 32 fire trucks and 212 soldiers had been deployed.
A total of 68 people were at the construction site at the time of the accident.
Photos posted by Chinese media showed iron pipes and concrete slabs lying on the ground inside the large cooling tower.
According to Jiangxi Daily, two 168m-high cooling towers were being built at the site as part of a project to add two 1,000-megawatt coal-fired power units to the power plant.
The project will cost 7.67bn yuan ($1.11bn; £0.89bn) .
Fatal accidents are common at industrial sites in China and there have been growing demands for more stringent safety standards.
He told BBC News NI that direct rule was a not "a good option".
Mr Corbyn added that he was surprised that a number of unionist politicians had raised the prospect of its introduction.
"I don't know quite why they'd say that unless that is something that they actually want," he said.
Martin McGuinness resigned on Monday in protest against the handling of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.
Under Stormont rules, Sinn Féin have until next Monday to nominate a new deputy first minister, or the secretary of state must call an election.
Sinn Féin have made it clear they will not renominate and have called for an election to be held.
In his first interview about the crisis at Stormont, Mr Corbyn said he understood why Martin McGuinness resigned and that the Sinn Féin politician "obviously felt he had no alternative, otherwise he would not have done so".
The Labour leader also said that if DUP leader Arlene Foster had stepped aside as first minister because of the RHI controversy it "would have avoided the crisis".
Asked if the British and Irish governments should establish joint authority in the absence of devolution, the Labour leader said: "Joint authority would operate only for an interim period, but I am not sure that is really necessary.
"Surely we get through the election period as quickly as we can, if we have to go into the election period in order to ensure there is administrative government in Northern Ireland."
He added: "It is not a good situation. I am not presenting it as anything other than difficult."
He also said he hoped a last-minute deal could stop the executive collapsing and elections being called.
"I hope there can be talks even in this immediate period to try to restore the operation of government in Northern Ireland."
Mr Corbyn said having a power-sharing administration in Belfast was crucial at this time because of the Brexit negotiations but he ruled out delaying the triggering of Article 50 if there was no executive in Northern Ireland.
"I think it is quite difficult to delay it now because parliament has actually voted that it should be triggered by the end of March."
He also confirmed it was "extremely unlikely" that there would be official Labour candidates if an election is called.
Labour Party activists in Northern Ireland have fought a long-running campaign to persuade the party's ruling executive committee to stand candidates.
In an interview last September, Mr Corbyn said the party was considering the issue.
When asked why the party had delayed its decision on Northern Ireland candidates, he said: "Four months ago we were just coming towards the end of the leadership campaign of the Labour Party. The national executive of the party will no doubt be discussing this matter.
"It has not be discussed since then."
The Labour leader is also concerned about the political make up of Stormont following a fresh poll.
He said the reduction from 108 to 90 seats could lead to the assembly being "less diverse in its political representation".
Alexander Hilton, 24, encouraged Robert Forbes to drink the wine containing methanol before a ball in Fife.
Mr Forbes needed kidney dialysis after the incident in March 2011 and was left temporarily blind.
Hilton admitted assaulting him to his severe injury, permanent impairment and to the danger of his life.
Passing sentence at the High Court in Edinburgh, judge Lord Burns told Hilton: "This was a wicked and deceitful act and it could have had fatal consequences."
The judge said Mr Forbes "has been left with the agonising prospect of going blind in the future".
He is Ghassan Hitto, a Damascus-born IT expert who spent decades in the US. He was elected at a meeting of coalition leaders in Istanbul in Turkey.
Mr Hitto's first task will be to form a government to oversee services in areas captured from government forces.
Meanwhile, the US and France denounced a Syrian airstrike on the Lebanese border as a "violation of sovereignty".
Reports from Lebanon say Syrian aircraft fired four rockets at the border between the two countries, near the Lebanese town of Arsal on Monday.
There were no casualties from the raid. Lebanese officials had earlier said it was not clear whether the rockets had landed inside Lebanese territory.
The US described the attack as a "significant escalation" of the conflict. France said the raid constituted "a new and serious violation of Lebanon's sovereignty".
In Monday's vote in Istanbul, Mr Hitto won with 35 out of 48 votes, in what coalition leaders described as a "transparent, democratic" election.
Government forces
Rebel groups
But some senior coalition leaders are reported to have withdrawn from the vote in protest over Mr Hitto's lack of military experience.
Last November, the 50-year-old moved from Texas to Turkey to help co-ordinate aid to rebel-held areas.
Earlier, the commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army said his group would work "under the umbrella" of any new government.
"Any institutions not following this government would be considered to be acting illegitimately and would be prosecuted," Gen Selim Idriss Idriss told AFP news agency.
Large swathes of northern Syria have been seized by rebels in recent months.
They are currently administered by a patchwork of local councils and armed groups who have been running some institutions, such as courts and prisons.
But reports say basic supplies such as electricity and water are limited.
Also on Monday, the US said it would not stand in the way of other countries arming Syrian rebels.
Last week France and the UK said they supported lifting the EU arms embargo on Syria to allow weapons to reach anti-government forces, citing guarantees from rebels that arms would not fall into the wrong hands.
However, other EU countries have expressed scepticism over any such move. The embargo is expected to be discussed at a meeting of EU foreign ministers later this week and a vote is due in May.
US Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters on Monday: "The United States does not stand in the way of other countries that made a decision to provide arms, whether it's France, or Britain or others."
But top US military commander Gen Martin Dempsey warned against acting too quickly.
"I don't think at this point I can see a military option that would create an understandable outcome. And until I do, it would be my advice to proceed cautiously," he told the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank.
Last week saw the second anniversary of the Syrian uprising against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad, which initially began as a wave of peaceful protests but which is now often described as a civil war.
An estimated 70,000 people have been killed and more than one million people have fled Syria since the uprising began.
Pauline Cafferkey, 40, was admitted to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after being taken from her home in South Lanarkshire at 09:30.
She is undergoing routine monitoring by the Infectious Diseases Team and remains in a stable condition.
Ms Cafferkey contracted Ebola while working as part of a UK team in Sierra Leone in 2014.
A spokeswoman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: "Ms Cafferkey was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital under routine monitoring by the Infectious Diseases Team.
"She is undergoing further investigations and her condition remains stable."
Paramedics arrived at the nurse's flat in Halfway, Cambuslang, on Thursday morning.
Residents told the BBC that an ambulance, escorted by police cars left the flats on Lightburn Road, at about 09:30.
Police confirmed that officers had "assisted in the transfer of a patient" on Thursday morning.
Following news that Ms Cafferkey had been admitted to hospital, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Sending my very best wishes to Pauline Cafferkey. She has already suffered way too much - & all for trying to help others. Thoughts with her."
Ms Cafferkey contracted Ebola while working as part of a UK team at the Kerry Town Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone.
She spent almost a month in isolation at the Royal Free hospital in London at the beginning of 2015 after the virus was detected when she arrived back in the UK.
Ms Cafferkey was later discharged after apparently making a full recovery, and in March 2015 returned to work as a public health nurse at Blantyre Health Centre in South Lanarkshire.
But it was later discovered that the virus was still present in her body, and she was readmitted to the same London hospital in October 2015.
She again recovered, before being treated at the Royal Free for a third time in February of this year due to a further complication related to her initial Ebola infection.
More recently, the nurse faced a number of misconduct charges by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
These were for allegedly allowing a wrong temperature to be recorded during the screening process at Heathrow on her arrival back in the UK from Sierra Leone in 2014.
The NMC's conduct and competence panel dismissed all charges at a hearing in Edinburgh last month after being told that Ms Cafferkey's judgement had been impaired by illness.
Two girls, aged 15 and 16, and two boys, aged 15 and 17, allegedly attempted to murder Gordon Friel in Forbes Place, Paisley, on 24 September.
A 13-year-old boy also faces a charge in connection with the attack.
Lawyers for the five - who cannot be named for legal reasons - pled not guilty on their behalf at the High Court in Glasgow.
The attempted murder charge against the four, aged between 15 and 17, includes claims Mr Friel was repeatedly punched, kicked and stamped upon.
Prosecutors further allege he had his head struck off a wall knocking him unconscious.
The 13 year-old is then said to have spat on Mr Friel as he lay on the ground.
The four charged with the murder bid, face a separate accusation of racially aggravated harassment towards Yao Yao and Yan Zhou in Paisley on the same day.
The 17-year-old boy is then accused of damaging property in the street.
The group - along with the 13 year-old - are also alleged to have acted in a threatening and abusive manner.
Judge Lord Burns set a trial due to start in June. The case could last up to 10 days.
Officer cadet Kidane Cousland, who grew up on a housing estate in Tottenham, says had he not signed up as a 16-year-old he would be dead or in prison.
Now 24, he served in Afghanistan in 2011 with 29 Commando, Royal Artillery.
He is among only a handful of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) cadets to be awarded the "sword of honour" for coming top of his intake.
Known as Danny to his Army colleagues, Officer Cadet Cousland will be presented with the accolade during Friday's graduation passing out ceremony at the military academy in Surrey.
It has been nine years since the last black officer cadet, Charlie Mulira, who is currently serving with the Irish Guards, received the award.
Officer cadet Cousland left school at 15 without being able to read but he has excelled in the academic challenges at Sandhurst, where he was among the May 2015 intake.
He did better than Oxbridge graduates in his war studies essay and hopes to complete a Bachelor's degree in the subject before doing a Master's.
"I went to school, I was completely disconnected, I didn't get on, I didn't do very well, I wasn't motivated... I was in a bad way really," he said.
"But something I always wanted to do since I was a child was join the Army."
He was brought up by a single mother who initially refused to sign his application form because of her perception of the Army as a "predominantly white organisation" and no place for her mixed-race son.
However, Officer Cadet Cousland said: "I either did that or my anger issues and frustration would actually see me move in a different direction, and probably end up killing me or I'd be in prison."
He came top of both the Army selection board when he applied and his Commando course, aged 18. He served as a bombardier in Afghanistan and was later recommended for officer training.
The Ministry of Defence says about 2.5% of Army officers and 4% of all recruits are currently from BAME backgrounds. It says it is on track to meet a target of 10% of all recruits being from BAME backgrounds.
But the Army insists officer cadet Cousland's award is not about tokenism. He beat 200 fellow recruits to the sword of honour.
Officer Cadet Cousland does not believe the Army is racist as an institution but admitted he had experienced some problems from individuals.
"As I learned from when I was a kid, my response to racism is just to prove them wrong by being the best I can be, every day," he said.
Ethel Irene Ditcher was killed when she was struck on Leigh Road, Leigh, at about 11:45 GMT on Wednesday.
Police said a man was seen to steal her purse before leaving. Officers are still trying to locate him.
Her family said they hoped "their conscience gets the better of them and they hand themselves into the police".
The man is described as white, about 6ft (1.8m) tall, between 30 and 40, and of medium build with a brown beard.
In a statement, her nephew and niece said: "We cannot believe that someone has done this to our auntie. We are absolutely disgusted by this person's actions."
Det Sgt Neil Lawless, from Greater Manchester Police, called it "one of the most disgusting crimes" he had ever investigated.
The Metropolitan Police said it was looking into "allegations of drug-related offences involving a member of the House of Lords".
It said a search warrant was executed at 18:00 BST at a central London address and no arrests had been made.
Lord Sewel is to be granted a "leave of absence" from the House of Lords.
He has already quit as deputy speaker and chairman of the Lords privileges and conduct committee.
Lords officials referred the matter to the police.
The Met said the warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act was granted by Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Police with sniffer dogs and a battering ram were seen at a building in central London.
News of the criminal investigation came after Lord Sewel said he would not attend the Lords until the outcome of any investigation into his conduct, after which he would review his "long-term position".
During that time, he will not be able to claim any expenses or allowances.
There have been calls for him to be expelled or to quit the Lords.
BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins said requesting a leave of absence was "not a resignation, not a throwing in of the towel. It's an acceptance that it may not be possible for him to return to the red benches until the investigation is complete".
Lord Sewel was appointed as a Labour peer in 1996 but has sat as a non-affiliated (independent) peer since taking up his standards role.
The original footage, released by the Sun on Sunday, appeared to show Lord Sewel snorting powder from a woman's breasts with a £5 note.
The Sun then published further photographs of the peer in Monday's newspaper, along with details of new footage in which he is said to make disparaging remarks about a number of other politicians.
What are the rules for Lords?
As the House of Lords is currently in recess, the leave of absence will take effect from 7 September, when peers return.
Under the rules, he will have to give three months' notice before returning.
"I wish to take leave of absence from the House as soon as it can be arranged," Lord Sewel said in a letter to the Lords authorities.
"I also wish to make clear that in doing so I have no intention of returning to the House in any way until the current investigations have been completed, when in the light of their outcome I will review my long-term position.
"I believe this is compatible with due process."
Baroness D'Souza, the speaker of the House of Lords, has written to Lords Standards Commissioner Paul Kernaghan asking for an investigation.
He is expected to decide in the next 48 hours whether to look into the allegations.
Lib Dem president Baroness Sal Brinton said Lord Sewel should "resign immediately", while former Commons Speaker Baroness Boothroyd said he should "take a quiet way out of the back door of the House of Lords".
The company was put up for auction earlier this month and attracted interest from global food companies including Danone and chip giant McCain.
Quorn, a meat substitute made from fungus, is produced in North Yorkshire.
The company expects to increase the number of people employed at its sites.
Quorn is sold on its own for use in recipes at home or in ready meals and products that mimic items such as burgers and sausages.
It is available in 15 countries.
Quorn's chief executive, Kevin Brennan, said the deal would help the business grow: "We have an ambition to be the world leader in meat alternatives, ultimately creating a $1bn business. Monde Nissin... provides the capability to expand the brand into Asia."
Quorn Foods has around 620 employees on three UK sites and internationally: Stokesley in North Yorkshire, Billingham on Teesside and Methwold in Norfolk, as well as Frankfurt in Germany, and Chicago in the US.
Now, Prince George has fulfilled this royal rite of passage on the Queen's official birthday.
Here are some pictures of other first appearances for royal youngsters on the famous balcony.
Princess Elizabeth was just 14 months old when she appeared for the first time on the palace balcony in June 1927.
She appeared with her parents, then known as the Duke and Duchess of York, and her grandparents, George V and Queen Mary, following Trooping the Colour.
In 1937, when her father was crowned King George VI, Princess Elizabeth and her younger sister Princess Margaret took to the balcony to wave at the crowds with their parents.
The Duke of Cambridge - Prince William - made his debut on the balcony for Trooping the Colour when he was about to turn two in 1984.
His son, Prince George, wore the same outfit his father wore more than 20 years previous.
In 1985, Prince Harry made his first appearance at the Queen's Birthday parade when he was only nine months old.
Harry was carried by his parents while William, now nearly three, stood much taller above the edge of the balcony.
When Harry was three, he was photographed sticking his tongue out as he was carried by his mother after the 1988 parade.
Some youngsters have found the noise of the crowds and the flypast too much to bear.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's bridesmaid Grace van Cutsem put her hands over her ears and frowned during her balcony appearance on the royal wedding day in 2011.

Social media users slammed the decision to get rid of the food, equivalent to 1,500 regular sized bowls.
The Plaza Merdeka in Kuching cited safety reasons for the move.
But it said the wastage was an "unfortunate oversight and misjudgement".
It took 15 cooks and 18 hours to prepare the dish.
100kg laksa paste
225kg rice noodles
90kg prawns
1,008 eggs
90kg bean sprouts
80kg chicken
Cheah Kheng Mun, the shopping centre's general manager, told reporters they could not "simply give away" the laksa because they had been advised to maintain the soup gravy at a certain temperature.
He also revealed that the giant bowl of laksa had started to give off an odour.

After being flooded with angry comments on its Facebook page, the shopping mall issued an apology.
"We are very grateful to the public for pointing out the issue of food wastage. We would not try to justify ourselves in this respect. We apologize for the oversight and misjudgement," it said.
The angry comments included Justin Lim, who wrote: "To the organiser who throws away a few hundred kilos of meat, prawns, veg and over a thousand eggs, please google "famine" first and then after that live in shame for the rest if your life."
Shar Izat Kasumajaya said: "All that the organisers thought of was acquiring the record. There are hundreds of thousands of people living under the poverty line. To throw away the equivalent of 1,500 bowls of food is just wrong. It's shameful. It's foul."
But some other users, such as Patricia Kim, hoped the apology would put an "end to the saga".
Celebrity chef Datuk Redzuawan Ismail, better known as Chef Wan, took part in the event.
Originally from the Sarawak state on the Borneo Island, the eponymous dish is a spicy rice noodle soup.
Official figures show that 15,000 tonnes of food is discarded in Malaysia every day, even though 3,000 tonnes of it is still good for consumption.
Other mail order companies were also found giving out the wrong information about their refund policies.
A customer returning goods within seven working days is entitled to a full refund and the initial delivery charge, under the Distance Selling Regulations.
Next told the BBC it would change its policy from the start of August.
The Distance Selling Regulations (DSRs) are legally binding rules and were introduced in 2000 to protect customers who, unlike High Street shoppers, are unable to inspect goods before they buy them.
Even if you simply inform a company that you wish to return the goods within the seven working days, you should get a refund of the initial delivery costs.
The law does not cover the cost of returning the unwanted items.
But Next has been breaching the regulations by billing customers for delivery costs - even if goods are returned within the seven working days.
A spokesman for Next said: ''During the last three years, Next has not offered a refund of the delivery charge.
"This was in line with our interpretation of the Distance Selling Directive. However following clarification from the European Court of Justice in April this year on interpretation of the Directive, Next is in the process of implementing the necessary changes to ensure that delivery charges will be refunded. "
The spokesman pointed out though that customers had not had to pay for returning the goods.
There is no obligation for retailers to offer free returns.
Trading Standards said that since the DSRs had been legally binding in the UK for ten years, there was no excuse for not adhering to them.
Andy Foster, operations director at the Trading Standards Institute, said: ''If there is a failure to refund delivery charges that is clearly wrong and we will interpret that to be a breach of contract."
Mr Foster said there were steps customers could take if the rules were not adhered to.
"What they should do is approach the retailer and ask them to give them their money back or they can take their case to the small claims court," he said.
He added: ''The majority of businesses we speak to are law-abiding, but there is a small minority that are not and those are the companies we need to take action against.''
Other major companies appear confused about the DSRs.
On its website, Debenhams says it only refunds delivery charges if the product is faulty.
Helpline staff said that was the case even if the item was returned within a week.
But a spokeswoman from the retailer said this was not actually the company's policy and that staff would be re-apprised of the rules: ''Unfortunately the wrong information was given out. Delivery charges are refunded within seven days, even for goods that are simply unwanted.
"We will make sure all our customer services staff know the correct policy and we will look at updating the website.''
Littlewoods call centre staff told BBC researchers that customers must pay the delivery fee no matter how quickly the product is returned.
Its website states it will not refund delivery charges unless the product is faulty.
Littlewoods said it was operating within the rules: "We believe that we do comply with the requirements of the Distance Selling Regulations and many of our brands offer free delivery and returns.''
Matt Bath, technology editor of Which?, said many customers were not aware of their online rights.
''People face an uphill struggle when trying to convince online stores to give them the money back that they are rightfully owed, the only recourse we have [is] to complain to Trading Standards or go to the small claims court," he said.
"Both are long and laborious processes and it's unfair that consumers have to go through that.''
Shopper Kate Porter from Sydenham in south-east London buys lots of clothes online but was not aware of the DSRs.
''I have not been refunded the delivery charge on a number of occasions. I didn't mind because I buy so much online rather than going to the shops, but now I know I feel a bit cheated,'' she said.
If consumers do believe they have been unfairly charged Trading Standards is now urging them to get in touch.
Consumers do not have the right to full refunds under the DSRs for perishable goods, personalised or custom-made products, magazines and unwrapped CDs.

Hedgehog officer Simon Thompson works at the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and knows all about caring for hedgehogs.
These are his top tips...
When hedgehogs wake from hibernation they are hungry, so you can leave some dry or wet cat food out for them to eat. Avoid giving them bread and milk.
If you have a pond, make it safe by providing a ladder or ramp. Hedgehogs are good swimmers but can't always climb out of a pond without a ramp.
A small hole at the bottom of your garden fence will let hedgehogs pass to the neighbouring garden. Remember to ask permission before making holes in your hence!
An untidy area of the garden with a log pile will provide places for hedgehogs to hide. It will also attract insects for the hedgehog to eat!
Earnshaw is the only player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League, FA Cup, Championship, League One, League Two, League Cup and an international.
He represented Wales 59 times in an 18-year career that saw him score 236 goals for 11 clubs in six countries.
"I've always been scared to see the end of my playing days and now that it's here I'm sad," said Earnshaw, 34.
The Zambian-born striker broke goal-scoring records at his first club Cardiff City as his 35 goals in their 2002-03 League One promotion season beat Stan Richards' 56-year club record.
Earnshaw won the first of his Wales caps against Germany in 2002 and scored the winner against a team who were World Cup runners-up later that summer in Japan.
Earnshaw ended his Wales career joint seventh alongside Mark Hughes and Cliff Jones on Wales' all-time list of scorers with 16 goals, the highlight being a hat-trick at home to Scotland in 2004.
West Bromwich Albion broke their transfer record to sign Earnshaw from Cardiff for £3.5m in 2004 before he signed for Norwich in 2006.
He became Derby County's record £3.5m signing in 2007 and also played for Nottingham Forest, Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel before finishing his career in North America's Major League Soccer with spells at Toronto, Chicago Fire and Vancouver Whitecaps.
Having retired from playing for the Whitecaps he will now become their first-team striking coach and work with their under-14 side.
"In a way, football has been like a father to me. It has taught me about life, about working hard and staying focused," he explained.
"Football taught me how to be a man on and off the field and to be a better person." | League One side Charlton Athletic have signed former MK Dons and Brighton & Hove Albion defender Adam Chicksen on a one-year deal.

The factory Quay Fresh and Frozen Foods is hoping to renew its marine licence to deposit clean, crushed whelk shells off New Quay.
A public meeting on Thursday invited residents to have their say, which Natural Resources Wales said was a "vital part" of the application.
The company said it would not comment while the application was under review.
Valerie Bowen, an 88-year-old retired doctor, said: "I used to play on the beach when I was a child. I wouldn't even walk on it now barefoot in case the washed-up shells cut my feet.
"I won't even allow my own grandchildren to play on the beach after they complained their feet were hurting. It's such a beautiful beach, it's very frustrating."

He needs to beat Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel by nine points and his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg by two in the US on 25 October to seal a third title.
The Briton said: "I've never felt it's ever been done and dusted. There are still a lot of points available.
"I'm going to take my time and, at the next race, work as hard as ever."
Hamilton dominated in Russia following Rosberg's retirement early on with a throttle problem, the German having converted pole position into a lead on the first lap.
"The goal is to win a third title," Hamilton added. "Until I achieve that there is no other goal. I feel incredibly fortunate to have this car.
"I love going to Austin and the track has been amazing for me since the first race. I am looking forward to it, it is a track you can race on and get close to people."

Rosberg's retirement meant he slipped back to third place in the championship, seven points behind Vettel. But he refused to concede his chances were over.
"I don't know," Rosberg said. "It has made it more difficult, of course. But I am never going to win it anyway with such normal things like that [the throttle] breaking.
"But of course I will keep pushing and keep attacking."

Russian Grand Prix coverage details
Hélène Turon, an economics lecturer at Bristol University, was subjected to remarks made on a social media site.
The comments are said to include sexual innuendo and derogatory remarks about her teaching.
In a statement, the university said it takes "cyber-bullying very seriously, whether the victim is a student or a member of staff".
It added that students "involved in such activities would be dealt with under our disciplinary procedures".
The comments were made on the social media Yik Yak which allows users to anonymously post comments on discussions in their locality.
The story was reported by Bristol University student newspaper The Tab.
The publication reported that Ms Turon chastised her first-year students, explaining how she was concerned her teenage children could have seen the comments, before walking out.
She told the paper there is a "difference between public and private gossip" and there should be a discussion about "what the appropriate amount of respect students should have for staff and fellow students is".
Kin Knappett, president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, said it has "seen an increase in cyber bullying" amongst its members.
She added: "Young people think they have a free range to say what they want, how they want and where they want, without thinking about how it will affect anyone else."
The union is calling for better education around the issue of cyber bullying and the "long-term implications" of online comments.
Paul Bridge, University and College Union head of higher education, said they "strongly condemn any form of bullying against staff or student".
He added that victims of cyber bullying "experience the same feelings of fear, intimidation, stress, low morale as other forms of bullying and all steps must be taken to ensure cases are reported and fully investigated".
They were on a shore excursion on the Caribbean island of Dominica on Wednesday when their tour bus was involved in a collision.
The P&O ship Azura sailed from Southampton on 28 October with more than 3,000 passengers on board.
P&O has confirmed that all those injured are British, and have been treated at a local hospital.
In a statement, the firm said: "P&O Cruises regrets to confirm that a bus operated by a shore excursion provider was involved in a collision in Dominica on Wednesday lunchtime.
"The bus was carrying 12 passengers, including 10 guests from Azura. The cause of the accident is not yet known."
The company said the majority of those injured had been discharged from hospital.
Senior vice-president Paul Ludlow said: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone touched by this tragic event.
"Our employees and crew are working to do everything we can to extend support and assistance to those affected and their loved ones."
The Foreign Office confirmed the deceased person and nine injured bus passengers were all British nationals.
It said: "Our staff are providing support and we will remain in close contact with P&O Cruises and the local authorities."
Marchant de Lange defended eight from the final over at Somerset as Glamorgan went top of the South Group.
And Alex Hepburn produced the best figures by a Worcestershire bowler in T20 cricket, but could not prevent an 11-run defeat by Nottinghamshire.
Birmingham Bears are on the cusp of qualifying after winning at Durham, while Essex beat Gloucestershire.
Finch starred on a golden afternoon at The Oval with his third T20 century - his first in county cricket - and became just the second batsman to make a hundred for Surrey in the shortest format after Jason Roy.
The Australia international batsman exploded in the 18th over, taking 30 from the bowling of David Wiese with four sixes, and reached his century off 58 deliveries in the next over.
In total, he struck seven fours and seven sixes and lifted Surrey to 193-2.
"Between Jason and I we've got the team into some good positions but then probably let the middle order down by not being there at the end," Finch told BBC Radio London. "So it was nice for one of us to go through.
"The middle of the innings was a bit frustrating and we just had to bide our time for one big over and thankfully it came."
Chris Nash responded with 53 for Sussex but the visitors were always behind the chase and will now have to win their final match to have a chance of reaching the quarter-finals.
Surrey also need to win their final two games to qualify from a tightly-packed South Group, which is now headed by Glamorgan.
Nick Selman's 66 from 42 balls in just his fourth T20 appearance helped Glamorgan reached 183-6 at Taunton, before Johann Myburgh appeared to be steering Somerset home with 87 from 51 balls.
But Myburgh fell to De Lange, who then held his nerve to close out the game for Glamorgan.
Victory over Middlesex in Cardiff on Friday would see Glamorgan finish top of the South Group, while Somerset's campaign was left hanging by a thread with one game to play.
Essex could yet join Glamorgan in the last eight after Varun Chopra made 44 in 20 balls to help Essex win a low-scoring game at Bristol.
Victory continued Essex's impressive revival after a slow start to the tournament, but they still need to win their final two games to guarantee a top-four place. Gloucestershire also need wins from the final two matches to go through.
Hepburn, 21, playing only his third T20 match, took a record 5-24 to rip through the Nottinghamshire middle and lower order as the visitors were bowled out for 145 at New Road.
But only Daryl Mitchell of the top five got into double figures for Worcestershire as they slumped to 108-7 and they could not get home when 15 runs were needed from the final over.
Notts have secured a quarter-final spot and are now very likely to gain a home tie at Trent Bridge, even if they lose their final game at home to Leicestershire on Friday, because their net run-rate is far superior to that of Northamptonshire.
The Bears could grab the other home quarter-final as they moved second in the North Group with an easy eight-wicket win at bottom-club Durham.
Fifties from Ed Pollock and Dom Sibley saw them chase 146 with more than five overs to spare. Their final game is against Lancashire on Friday.

Schlesinger, 28, beat Poland's Karolina Talach in her opening bout, but then lost to Germany's Martyna Trajdos.
She regrouped to beat Italy's Edwige Gwend on her way to third.
"It feels good to win another European medal and this time for Great Britain," Schlesinger said.
"I have only had one competition this year due to injury, so it was good to have some fights and get back into things."
Meanwhile, team-mate Amy Livesey (-63kg) lost in the last 16 against Agbegnenou despite a spirited performance, with her opponent taking the contest by ippon.
On Thursday's opening day, Britain did not win any medals as Bekky Livesey (women's -57kg), Ashley McKenzie (men's -60kg), Chelsie Giles and Kelly Edwards (both women's -52kg) missed out.

Jimmy Ball had given National League North side Stockport the lead, and added another in the second half, but goals for Joey Jones, Ugwu and Fabio Saraiva sent the side one division above through.
Stockport took the lead in the ninth minute at Edgeley Park after a stunning 25-yard strike from Hatters' forward Ball.
Woking defender Jones levelled the scores nine minutes later when he headed in his side's first corner of the game.
The visitors then took the lead for the first time just after the half-hour mark when Woking striker Ugwu slotted past Hatters' goalkeeper Ben Hinchliffe from six yards out following a smart Woking break.
Ball then scored his second of the match to equalise for Stockport on the stroke of half time, side-footing home from close range.
Woking then punished the Hatters' failure to be clinical early in the second half when they regained the lead just before the hour when Ugwu stroked a low hard shot past the onrushing Hinchliffe.
And substitute Saraiva sealed the victory at the death with a low drive that nestled into the bottom corner.

The team announced on Wednesday that Allison was leaving, before this weekend's German Grand Prix.
Vettel admitted the team faced "a big change", but added: "We have the right people on board. Things are heading in the right direction."
The four-time world champion has backed internal changes made by Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne.
"There has been a lot in the press, especially about our president and what he expects from us," Vettel said.
"It is good to see he is involved and is pushing the team very hard. He spends a lot of time in Maranello and knows what he is taking about."
Vettel said he believed in team principal Maurizio Arrivabene as the right man to lead.
"Maurizio has been in the business a long time," he said. "He is our leader and we are happy he is with us."
Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, who also worked with Allison at the Lotus team between 2011 and 2014, said he had "a lot of respect for him" and "I don't want to get involved".
Allison split with Ferrari, in what was said by the team to be a "joint decision", three years after joining them with a view to bringing about a revival following a slump in form.
It was his second spell at Ferrari - he worked as chief aerodynamicist during the dominant Michael Schumacher era of 2000-04.
The technical director's first car last year won three races with Vettel, but Ferrari have made no further progress in catching world champions Mercedes and are yet to win a race this season.
Allison has been replaced by Mattia Binotto, the former head of Ferrari's engine department, whose reputation as an engineering manager is strong within the team.
Binotto was put in charge of the engine department after former head Luca Marmorini was dismissed at the end of the team's dismal 2014 season.
He then brought about a major improvement in performance from the engine into 2015.
It is now considered to be the second best engine in F1, reputedly less than 10bhp behind the standard-setting Mercedes in terms of outright power.
Ferrari do not intend to replace Allison directly, instead preferring to promote from within, feeling they have enough talent in the team to produce a winning car.
Allison is widely regarded as one of the best technical leaders in the sport, and will be in strong demand among other teams.

Reform Scotland said only an outright ban on short sentences could bring about change in the justice system.
The organisation said the move should extend to a year if automatic early release for short sentences remains in place.
The Scottish government said it believed that only the most serious offenders should be jailed.
It does not want the courts to jail anyone for three months or less.
While judges are still able to pass sentences of under three months, legislation says they should only do this when no alternative is available or appropriate
Reform Scotland has raised concerns, however, that this policy is not being adhered to.
Three-month prison sentences accounted for almost 30% of prison terms in 2015-16.
In addition, the think tank said automatic early release meant 65% of offenders that year served three months or less.
Speaking ahead of the publication of a new report on prison reform, research director Alison Payne said: "The Scottish Prison Service itself has said that there are limited opportunities for rehabilitation during short sentences.
"Furthermore, the disruption of a short sentence, including loss of income and employment, and problems with childcare and family relationships, often makes the sentences disproportionate to the crime.
"A presumption against short sentences is well meaning but, in the final analysis, if we don't want short sentences then we have to prohibit them.
"People make mistakes and we need to help ensure that such mistakes are not repeated, not just because of the emotional and financial cost of crime to victims, families and society, but because of the loss of human potential.
"Such a view is neither ideological nor controversial, but is human and compassionate. However, it is not a view that is reflected in Scotland's sentencing regime."
But the Scottish Conservatives said short-term sentences still have a role to play in the justice system.
The party's justice spokesman Liam Kerr said: "Our experienced, highly trained sheriffs use these punishments for a reason, and removing their ability to do so and indeed their discretion - where they feel the facts fit that sentence - would be wrong.
"If criminals know they can turn up to court and won't be jailed, it will do nothing to deter them from illegal activity.
"Many people, especially victims of crime, already think Scotland's justice system is too soft touch and would view an abolition of these jail terms as an extension of that."
Last month, Scotland's chief inspector of prisons David Strang called for an end to jail terms of under a year.
Mr Strang said the current presumption against three-month sentences should be extended to 12 months, arguing the approach does not cut crime.
The Scottish Liberal Democrats have also backed ending jail sentences of under 12 months, urging the Scottish government to act following a 2015 consultation on strengthening the presumption against short-term sentences.
Ministers have consulted on extending the current presumption against three month sentences to 12 months, and hope to publish plans later this year.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "Our recent vision paper makes clear that Scotland's prison population remains unacceptably high.
"The associated plan sets out a range of actions we are taking to provide alternatives to ineffective short-term prison sentences and to prevent re-offending, for example through investment in community sentences and electronic monitoring, and learning from our successful preventative approach to youth justice.
"The Scottish government is committed to the principles of the McLeish Commission that imprisonment should be reserved for people whose offences are so serious that no other form of punishment will do and for those who pose a threat of serious harm.
"We believe that more can be done to strengthen the current presumption so that it has a more direct impact on sentencing decision, and have consulted on proposals to do just that.
"The responses to that consultation are informing our decisions and we have been taking time to consider these views, including discussions with relevant partners and other stakeholders."
It comes as concern grows that Iran could restart oil exports flooding a market already under intense pressure from global oversupply and weak demand.
Brent crude fell more than 4.5% to $29.46 and US West Texas intermediate oil fell to $29.47
Iran could restart exports if the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports it has complied with measures to curb its nuclear programme.
The IAEA could publish its report as early as Friday, following a meeting in Vienna.
Iran has the fourth largest proven oil reserves in the world, according to the US Energy Information Agency and any additional oil would add to the 1 million barrels a day of over supply that has led to a more than 70% collapse in oil prices since the middle of 2014.
"With sanctions on Iran likely to be lifted, more oil is flooding the markets," Commerzbank analysts wrote in a note.
"Although the additional supply had been imminent for some time, current sentiment ought to send prices further south."
Commerzbank cut its 2016 forecast for oil prices, changing its year-end expectation for Brent to $50 per barrel, down from a previous forecast of $63.
Iran's oil exports were already on target to hit a nine-month high in January, with 1.10 million barrels a day of crude, to load.
Oil prices have fallen by about 70% in the past 18 months as supply has outstripped demand. The demand for oil from China has fallen as its economic growth has slowed. Meanwhile supply has increased, partly due to the rise of US shale oil. In addition, the world's largest exporter of oil, Saudi Arabia, has refused to cut production - something it has done previously to support oil prices. Analysts estimate that about one million barrels of oil are being produced above demand every day.
Consumers and some businesses have benefitted from lower oil prices. UK motorists have seen the price of petrol and diesel fall from about £1.40 a litre 18 months ago to about £1 now. Transport operators and airlines should also be benefitting from cheaper fuel. The lower fuel costs have also helped to keep inflation close to zero in many countries.
Oil exporting nations that rely on a higher oil price to break even are suffering, such as Russia, Nigeria and Venezuela, as are oil firms generally. There have been thousands of job losses in the North Sea's oil industry. Investment in exploration has also been cut by big oil firms such as Shell, BP, Total and Exxon Mobil.
Iran is expected to target India, Asia's fastest-growing major oil market, as well as its old partners in Europe, such as Greece, with the increased exports.
It is the wrong time for Iran to be returning to the oil market, both for the market and likely also for Iran," brokers Phillip Futures said in a note on Friday.
The continuing collapse in oil prices has also added to pressure on oil producing nations that rely on exports including Algeria, Venezuela, Nigeria and Russia.
Earlier this week, Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev warned tumbling oil prices could force his country to revise its 2016 budget.
He said that the country must be prepared for a "worst-case" economic scenario if the price continued to fall.
Taxes from oil and gas generates about half the Russian government's revenue.
The 2016 federal budget that was approved in October was based on an oil price of $50 a barrel in 2016 - a figure President Vladimir Putin has since described as "unrealistic".
Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) leader Cemil Bayik said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was "escalating this war".
"The Kurds will defend themselves to the end, so long as this is the Turkish approach - of course the PKK will escalate the war," he said.
Separately, an aide to Mr Erdogan ruled out any negotiations with the PKK.
Turkish presidential adviser Ilnur Cevik told the BBC's Mark Lowen that the PKK was "trying to create a separate state in Turkey - this is outright secession".
When asked if there was any chance of negotiation, he replied: "At the moment, no".
He added that Mr Erdogan had popular support for the military campaign.
But Mr Bayik, the PKK's military leader, insisted that "we don't want to separate from Turkey and set up a state".
"We don't want to divide Turkey. We want to live within the borders of Turkey on our own land freely... The struggle will continue until the Kurds' innate rights are accepted."
He said Turkish intransigence had made the PKK ready to escalate the conflict "not only in Kurdistan, but in the rest of Turkey as well".
A two-year-old Turkey-PKK ceasefire broke down last July. Since then clashes have escalated, including Turkish air force strikes against PKK bases in northern Iraq.
Turkey, the EU and US refer to the PKK as a terrorist organisation. The military has imposed curfews in parts of Kurdish-majority south-eastern Turkey.
According to the International Crisis Group, more than 340 members of Turkey's security forces have since been killed, along with at least 300 Kurdish fighters and more than 200 civilians.
Turkey v PKK - in quotes:
Ilnur Cevik, chief adviser to Turkey's President Erdogan: "What they [the PKK] are doing at the moment is trying to create a separate state in Turkey. This is outright secession.
"We are going to struggle right to the bitter end to stop this. And the Turkish people are now determined - public opinion polls say. They say, 'don't stop'."
PKK leader Cemil Bayik: "He [President Erdogan] wants the Kurds to surrender. If they don't surrender, he wants to kill all Kurds. He says this openly - he doesn't hide it.
"The Kurds will defend themselves to the end, so long as this is the Turkish approach - of course the PKK will escalate the war. Not only in Kurdistan, but in the rest of Turkey as well."

Speaking in northern Iraq, Mr Bayik said the struggle for Kurdish rights "can only be resolved through negotiations" - but the PKK would only negotiate "if the Turkish state gives up its genocidal politics".
The PKK's political leader Abdullah Ocalan was jailed by Turkey in 1999. Mr Bayik said Turkey must improve Mr Ocalan's prison conditions before any ceasefire talks could take place.
"For over a year there have been no visits to him, there is no information on or from him. There cannot be any negotiations under these circumstances."
Mr Bayik said "there is no concrete contact at the moment" with the Turkish authorities. "There have been calls made to us. Letters have been sent to us to stop the war and we answered them," he said, refusing to specify who had approached the PKK.
An offshoot of the PKK called TAK (Kurdistan Freedom Hawks) said it carried out a bomb attack last month that killed 37 people in a busy commercial district of the capital Ankara.
TAK called it retaliation for Turkey's military crackdown in the mainly Kurdish city of Cizre. TAK also said it carried out a suicide bombing against a military convoy in Ankara in February that killed 28 people.
When asked about those bombings, Mr Bayik said they were "nothing to do with the PKK - TAK carries out these actions".
"TAK is another organisation - we don't know who belongs to it."
The Turkish government has condemned not only the PKK but also the Kurdish HDP (People's Democratic Party), which won 59 seats in the 550-seat Turkish parliament in November.
Mr Erdogan accuses the HDP of supporting the PKK.
The PKK launched an armed struggle against the Turkish state in 1984, in a push for Kurdish independence. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
Mr Cevik said that "once... the PKK has been driven out, then Turkey is going to start talking not to the PKK or HDP or whatever, but to Kurdish opinion leaders, serious people".
The lull in fighting before last July had been used by the PKK to boost its presence in south-eastern Turkey, he alleged. "They took us for a ride, they took Erdogan for a ride... he had no idea he was going to be double-crossed like this."
Carl Sargeant said communities in Powys would lose millions of pounds and an opportunity to create jobs, claiming energy supply would be put at risk.
The UK government turned down plans to build four wind farms in Powys on Monday after a lengthy public inquiry.
A fifth was approved, but a plan for connecting powers lines was refused.
UK ministers ordered a combined public inquiry which ran from June 2013 to May 2014, following public opposition to the plans.
Mr Sargeant told BBC Wales: "We recognise that there's a great opportunity for renewable energy in Wales, but they [the UK government] are doing everything they can to stop that, in planning terms and also some of their subsidy schemes.
"In Wales we are pro-wind power and renewable energy - in the UK government and, under the Conservatives, [they are] pro-fracking, which we are certainly not."
As part of plans for further devolution, the Welsh government is in line to acquire new powers over energy.
That will move responsibility to approve projects larger than 350 megawatts from Westminster to Cardiff.
Mr Sargeant said businesses would find it difficult to understand why the UK government had not followed the advice of a planning inspector to approve some of the schemes in Powys.
"Wales is open for business," he said.
"We want to make sure that people want to invest in our communities, make sure that we have energy security long term."
The UK government has been asked to respond.
In a letter, he requested a resolution authorising immediate support for "the legitimate authority by all means" against the advancing rebels.
Mr Hadi is now in the southern port city of Aden after fleeing the capital Sanaa last month.
On Tuesday, the rebels reportedly seized two key towns in the south.
They took full control of Sanaa in January, putting Mr Hadi under house arrest and declaring that a five-member "presidential council" would rule the country.
Recent developments have raised fears that regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia could be drawn into the conflict.
On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia moved its heavy military equipment to areas near its border with Yemen, US officials were quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.
In the letter, President Hadi asked the UN Security Council to authorise "willing countries that wish to help Yemen to provide immediate support for the legitimate authority by all means and measures to protect Yemen and deter the Houthi aggression".
"All our efforts for peaceful settlement have encountered absolute rejection by the Houthis who continue their aggression to subdue the rest of the regions out of their control".
The president earlier called on the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) and the Arab League to intervene.
The letter comes just hours after the rebels and soldiers loyal to Mr Hadi's ousted predecessor, Ali Abdullah Saleh, reportedly entered the provincial capital of Dhalea and the Red Sea port of Mukha on Tuesday.
Pro-Houthi troops also killed at least four people protesting in and around the third city of Taizz, medics said.
Yemen - who is fighting whom?
The Houthis: A minority Shia from the north, the group seized control of Sanaa last year and have since been expanding their control.
President Hadi: Backed by military and police loyalists, and by militia known as Popular Resistance Committees, he is trying to fight back against the rebels from his stronghold in the south.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula: Seen by the US as the most dangerous branch of al-Qaeda, AQAP opposes both the Houthis and forces loyal to President Hadi.
Islamic State: A Yemeni affiliate of IS has recently emerged, which seeks to eclipse AQAP.
Yemen: Waiting for the war
President Moncef Marzouki was speaking on the second anniversary of the country's first free elections.
Earlier, PM Ali Larayedh confirmed the government would resign after talks with the opposition on appointing a caretaker administration were complete.
The negotiations are aimed at ending months of political crisis in Tunisia.
The prime minister said his moderate Islamist-led government was committed to the "principle of relinquishing power in line with the different phases envisaged in the roadmap".
"We will not submit to anyone except the interests of the country," he said.
His address came after thousands of anti-government protesters marched through the capital, Tunis, calling for the government to go.
The political crisis was triggered by the assassination of two prominent opposition politicians earlier this year.
The deadlock has threatened to disrupt a democratic transition that began after Tunisians threw out their decades-old authoritarian government at the beginning of the 2011 uprisings, widely referred to as the Arab Spring.
Earlier this month, the governing Ennahda party agreed to step aside in favour of a caretaker government, which would run the country until fresh elections are held.
Ennahda and the opposition now have three weeks to appoint the interim cabinet. They also have one month to adopt a new constitution, electoral laws and set an election date.
Since the 2011 revolt, Tunisia has seen a rise in attacks by militants.
The president paid his respects to the "souls of the martyrs who were martyred today" in a speech broadcast live on national TV.
Members of the National Guard had surrounded a building in the village of Sidi Ali Bououn, following a tip-off that a suspicious group was hiding there, officials said.
A fierce gun battle ensued during which both security forces and militants were killed.
The president said the militants were responding "to the painful blow" on 17 October, when security forces killed at least nine suspected Islamist militants who the authorities said had carried out a deadly attack on a police patrol.
At least three other suspects were arrested in the operation in the Mount Taouyer area, about 70km (44 miles) west of Tunis.
The interior ministry blamed militants belonging to the Salafist Ansar al-Sharia group, who were linked to the murders of prominent left-wing figure Chokri Belaid in February and opposition politician Mohammed Brahmi in July.
Their deaths triggered mass protests against the government.
Ennahda condemned the killings but the opposition accused it of failing to rein in radical Islamists - charges it strongly denies.
Several other militant groups - including al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb - also operate in the region.
It appears likely the decommissioned craft came down between 03:23 and 05:09 GMT - with a best estimate of 04:16.
If correct, this means any debris that survived to the surface probably went into water and not on land.
The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is the largest American space agency satellite to return uncontrolled into the atmosphere in about 30 years.
The fall to Earth was monitored by the Joint Space Operations Center (JSPOC) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Its best estimate for the timing of the re-entry would have seen UARS come in at a point well out into the North Pacific.
However, if UARS re-entered many minutes after 04:16, it is possible debris could have reached the American landmass.
There were some unconfirmed reports of glowing wreckage moving across the sky in western Canada, but Nasa said it had yet to receive credible evidence that this was so, less still that any debris items had been found.
"I've got no reports that I've seen that talk about people who think they might have recovered debris," Nick Johnson, Nasa's chief scientist for orbital debris at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, told reporters during a media teleconference.
"Obviously, we're going to continue to keep our eyes and ears open, and if we receive any reports like that we'll try to go verify."
Most of the 20-year-old satellite should simply have burnt up on re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, but modelling work indicated perhaps 500kg could have survived to the surface.
Calculations estimated this material would have been scattered over an 800km path. Nonetheless, with more than 70% of the Earth's surface covered by water, many experts had offered the view in recent weeks that an ocean grave was going to be the most probable outcome for UARS.
"Because we don't know where the re-entry point actually was, we don't know where the debris field might be. If the re-entry point was at the time that JSPOC has its best guess of 04:16 GMT then all that debris wound up in the Pacific Ocean," Nick Johnson reiterated.
UARS was deployed in 1991 from the space shuttle Discovery on a mission to study the Earth's upper atmosphere.
It contributed important new understanding on subjects such as the chemistry of the protective ozone layer and the cooling effect volcanoes can exert on the global climate.
In the past few days, Nasa had warned members of the public not to touch any pieces of the spacecraft that might survive the fall to land, urging them to contact local law enforcement authorities instead.
"I've seen some things that have re-entered and they tend to have sharp edges, so there's a little concern that they might hurt themselves if they try to pick them up," said Mark Matney, an orbital debris scientist from Nasa's Johnson Space Center.
Under the terms of the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, the US government retains ownership of the debris and could, if it so wished, seek to take possession of any items found on the ground.
With those ownership rights also comes absolute liability if a piece of UARS is found to have damage property or injured someone.
"There is something called international responsibility; they're internationally liable," explained Joanne Wheeler of law firm CMS Cameron McKenna, and an expert representative for the UK on the UN Subcommittee for the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.
"The Americans have to retain jurisdiction and control, and that pretty much can be interpreted as ownership. So they own it up there, they own it if it comes down to Earth and they're liable if it crashes into something."
Tracking stations will typically witness the uncontrolled return of at least one piece of space debris every day; and on average, one intact defunct spacecraft or old rocket body will come back into the atmosphere every week.
Something the size of UARS is seen perhaps once a year. Much larger objects such as space station cargo ships return from orbit several times a year, but they are equipped with thrusters capable of guiding their dive into a remote part of the Southern Ocean.

Envoy Sigrid Kaag was speaking as Syria appeared to miss a Sunday deadline to remove its arsenal from the country.
All Syria's chemical weapons are scheduled to be destroyed by 30 June.
The Russian-US deal to eliminate Syria's arsenal was drawn up last year after hundreds of people died in a sarin rocket attack outside Damascus.
Destroying Syria's chemical weapons
Syria chemical weapons removal plan
The multinational mission to get rid of the weapons is overseen by the UN Security Council and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
Although the UN deadline for the total destruction of Syria's chemical weapons is 30 June, Damascus had vowed to complete the removal of its stockpile by 27 April, after missing several deadlines.
"The biggest bulk of the chemical weapons material is removed but not yet destroyed and that counts towards the 30 June deadline. That's why it's so important to get the remainder of the chemical weapons material that is still in one site," Ms Kaag, the head of the OPCW-UN Joint Mission, told the BBC.
She also said the UN was concerned by recent reports that Syrian forces had used chlorine gas as a weapon.
Chlorine was not a substance included in the deal, which is widely seen as having averted US military action against the Syrian government.
Damascus has denied using chlorine gas as a weapon.
Most of Syria's chemical weapons substances exist as separate materials that only create the highly toxic warfare agents when mixed together, according to the OPCW.
Ms Kaag said the facilities need to produce, prepare and launch a chemical weapons attack had been destroyed.
"What remains are the elements of a chemical weapon, but the chemical weapons programme of Syria, as per the current declaration to the OPCW under the Chemical Weapons Convention is no longer in existence," she said.
Five-time world champion Gomez broke clear with around 7km to go to claim the Olympic distance race in one hour 47 minutes 52 seconds.
The Spaniard finished 15 seconds ahead of Norway's Kristian Blummenfelt.
Brownlee had been in a group with Gomez and Blummenfelt but faded and was passed into third by South Africa's Richard Murray on the final lap.
The Briton, 27, also finished fourth in Edmonton last week and is yet to win a race in this year's series, but moves up three places to seventh in the overall standings.
"I had a really good swim. On the bike it was set up perfectly, but I don't know what's wrong with me, I felt really tired and really flat," Brownlee said.
"I should be winning that kind of race, not coming fourth like that, but well done to Javier and Kristian, they worked hard on the bike.
"I was off my best today. I'm training all right, but I'm not racing well. I'll carry on racing for the rest of the year, but at some point I need some good rest."
Compatriot Gordon Benson was 18th, but Grant Sheldon did not finish, while there were no British athletes in the women's race, won by Ashleigh Gentle.
The Australian crossed the line 23 seconds ahead of Bermuda's Flora Duffy, with New Zealand's Andrea Hewitt in third.
Duffy, 29, has now extended her lead in the women's rankings to 654 points over Gentle, 26, who moves into second overall with victory in Canada.
A second victory of the season for Gomez, 34, together with four for defending champion Mario Mola, 27, means Spanish athletes have won six of the seven races so far this year - Britain's Alistair Brownlee won the other in Leeds.
Despite finishing 14th in Montreal, Mola still leads the men's standings on 3,664 points, with Gomez moving into second on 3,361 and Murray up to third on 3,197.
Two of the nine races remain this season. Stockholm hosts an event on 26-27 August, with 800 points awarded to the winner.
The WTS Grand Final takes place in Rotterdam in September, with 1,200 points for the winner.
The film, Where You're Meant To Be, was premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival in February.
It follows Moffat, former singer with indie rock band Arab Strap, as he explores Scottish music and folklore.
The documentary features rival Loch Ness Monster hunters and 79-year-old folk singer Sheila Stewart.
Moffat and Fegan also documented a crofter singing at his kitchen table on the Isle of Skye and chainmail clad re-enactors portraying events from history in a village cemetery outside Oban.
The tour starting later this month includes dates in Aberdeen, Dundee, Drumnadrochit, Bo'ness, Blairgowrie, Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh.
Neil "Nello" Baldwin - former Stoke City kit man and mascot - and Gordon Banks, England's 1966 goalkeeper and Stoke City president, are being honoured by the city council.
Mr Baldwin, 69, was the subject of a BBC film Marvellous, which won two Baftas earlier this month.
Stoke City said it was "delighted" with the honour.
Banks, 77, was capped 73 times for England. Among his achievements was a "wonder save" from Pele during the 1970 World Cup match against Brazil.
He spent five seasons with Stoke City and lives in the area.
Mr Baldwin, who has learning difficulties, is a lifelong fan of the club.
During the early 1990s, he struck up a friendship with then-manager Lou Macari who gave him a job as kit man and mascot.
The story of his rise to legendary status at the club was dramatised in Marvellous, which starred Toby Jones and won Best Single Drama at the Baftas.
Both men were nominated for the freedom of Stoke-on-Trent by members of the city council in October.
They will be presented with the honour by Deputy Lord Mayor Kath Banks.
The presentation will begin at 19:00 BST.
Potteries pop star Robbie Williams was the last person to be awarded the freedom of Stoke-on-Trent in July.
Stoke City said in a statement: "The dramatisation of Neil's life in Marvellous really painted Stoke City and the city of Stoke-on-Trent in such a positive light.
"He's a wonderful ambassador for the club and the city and proof a positive outlook on life can help you overcome anything.
"We're delighted that Neil has been awarded the freedom of the city of Stoke-on-Trent - it's an honour he thoroughly deserves."
Skipper Jamie Grimes got the hosts off to a perfect start, heading home from a corner in the fourth minute.
Nathan Arnold nearly found himself in a great position to equalise after 22 minutes, but his heavy touch made it easy for Dover goalkeeper Steve Arnold to race out and smother the ball.
That was as close as the visitors came as Moses Emmanuel doubled his side's lead with a clinical finish after 53 minutes.

For more than 20 years, he acted as secret back-channel between the British government and the IRA leadership.
He was at the centre of a chain of events that ultimately led to the historic IRA ceasefire of 1994 and the Good Friday peace agreement.
BBC reporter Peter Taylor, who made a documentary about Mr Duddy, said he was the "unsung hero of the Troubles"
The veteran journalist, who has reported extensively on the Troubles, told the BBC: "I don't think the part he played has ever been fully recognised and his place in history will be quite rightly secured.
"The fact we have a relative peace in Northern Ireland would not have happened without the remarkable efforts Brendan made.
"I'm sure that took its toll on him. He was a very fit, athletic, agile man. I think it took its toll in the long term and he did it at great risk to himself and his family."
Tributes are being paid on social media to Mr Duddy, who was born in Londonderry on 10 June 1936.
Danny Kennedy, from the Ulster Unionist Party, tweeted: "Sorry to learn of the death of Brendan Duddy. I served with him on the NIPB for a brief period. He was a fine and honourable man."
The SDLP's Mark Durkan tweeted: "Brendan Duddy RIP - Ear for thinking, tongue for explanation, eye for nuance, head for ideas, heart of peace. "Tutored" me during Hume-Adams."
Sinn Féin's Elisha McCallion said he was a "key figure in the business life of Derry for decades".
"His firm belief in dialogue also helped resolve parading issues and, through his membership of the Policing Board he helped shape the accountable policing we have today," she added.
During the civil rights demonstrations of the late 1960s, Mr Duddy ran a fish and chip shop whose beef burgers were delivered by young van driver called Martin McGuinness, the future IRA leader and deputy first minister, who died in March this year.
While Mr Duddy's public face was the family business, he got a taste of the role as go-between just before Bloody Sunday in 1972, when he was asked by the police to persuade IRA members to remove their weapons from the Bogside.
After Bloody Sunday, Mr Duddy met an MI6 officer called Michael Oatley and became the secret channel between the British government and the IRA, that would last until the 1990s.
Codenamed "Soon", he was the key link between then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the IRA during the 1981 hunger strikes.
In the early 1990s, he hosted talks at his own home in Derry between Mr Oatley and the intelligence services, and Mr McGuinness and the republican leadership.
According to Mr McGuinness, Mr Duddy's successful role in the peace process was so renowned it even reached Colombia.
In 2014, the Sinn Féin politician said that when he met President Juan Manuel Santos, the Colombian leader told him that when his government opened a back channel with the rebel group Farc, the negotiator was codenamed "Brendan".
While playing the role of peacemaker, Mr Duddy also grew his business empire - the family firm, Duddy Group, has interests in property, bars, restaurants and hotels, including Derry's City Hotel and the Ramada Hotel in Portrush.
Barry Imray, 35, of no fixed address, denies killing Lee Irving, who was found dead near a footpath in Newcastle last year.
Another man, James Wheatley, 29, from Studdon Walk, also denies murder.
Mr Wheatley's mother, Julie Mills, 51, and his girlfriend, Nicole Lawrence, 22, deny "causing or allowing" Mr Irving's death.
Mr Imray told Newcastle Crown Court he had not harmed 24-year-old Mr Irving, but panicked when he realised he was not moving, and alerted the others.
He denied that he had moved Mr Irving's body as a result of being responsible for his death.
He said he had taken the body away from the house all five shared in Kenton Bar because he had been told to.
When asked by Mr Wheatley's defence barrister, Francis Fitzgibbon QC, why he had not refused, he said: "You can't say no to James [Wheatley]."
The jury heard that Mr Imray accepted he had lied when he told police he had merely come across Mr Irving's body by the footpath. He lied because he was frightened, he said.
It is alleged that Mr Irving, who had learning difficulties, had been sedated by the defendants, rather than taken for medical treatment.
The court has heard he was found about half a mile from the house with 27 rib fractures and a broken nose and jaw.
The trial continues.
On average, three soldiers were allegedly assaulted or harassed sexually each day, often by a superior.
Female soldiers (15% of the military) were four times more likely than males to report being sexually assaulted.
Army head Gen Jonathan Vance said the findings were "regrettably sobering".
Canadian Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan described the findings as "completely unacceptable".
"We need to do better, and we will do better," CBC News quoted him as saying.
More than 50% of the Canadian army participated in the Statistics Canada survey.
About 960 Regular Force members - or 1.7% - reported being victims of sexual assault during the last 12 months, the report found.
More than a quarter of all women in the military - 27.3% - reported sexual assault at least once over their military careers, according to the survey.
Types of assault and harassment experienced include "unwanted sexual touching, sexual attacks and sexual activity to which the victim is unable to consent".
The findings follow a damning report last year by retired Supreme Court Justice Marie Deschamps which accused the military of being "hostile" to women and homosexuals. It said steps to address the problem had not been successful.
Gen Vance said 30 officers had been relieved of their command or positions of responsibility for paying no attention to his order last year that all troops should refrain from such behaviour.
"I am more motivated than ever to eliminate this behaviour and the perpetrators from our ranks," he said.
The report revealed that:
"Harmful sexual behaviour is a real problem in our institution," Gen Vance said. "We know it and we're trying to tackle it head-on."

A study, reported in the journal Science, has now shown that eels can use their electric organs to remotely control the fish they hunt.
A researcher from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, found that the electric discharges from eels made the muscles of their prey twitch.
This makes the fish easier to capture either by immobilising it or making it "jump" to show where it's hiding.
Kenneth Catania, who led the study, set up small aquatic arenas to test the eels' hunting abilities - putting an eel and an unfortunate fish into the same tank.
When they spotted their prey, the eels released pulses of electricity that appeared to immobilise the fish.
Further study revealed that the eels' electric pulses directly activated the nerves that controlled their prey's muscles.
"When the eel's pulses slow down - when the eel gets tired at the end of its attack - you see individual fish twitches, with one twitch from every pulse," said Dr Catania.
"That tells us that the eel is reaching in to the prey's nervous system, controlling its muscles."
In further observations of the eels' hunting strategies, Dr Catania noticed that the hungry creatures would emit pairs of pulses when their potential meal was out of view.
"People had known since 70s that eels give off these pairs of pulses - or doublets - as they explore looking for food," he said.
"Usually when they're excited and they know that food is around but can't find it.
"It actually turns out that this generates very rapid and strong [muscle] contraction."
This essentially makes the fish "jump" and reveal their whereabouts.
"So the eels have an efficient way to induce a massive twitch in their prey.
"You and I couldn't activate every muscle in our bodies at once, but the eels can do that [remotely] in their prey.
"They can completely immobilise prey or they can make prey move, depending on what they would like to do."
Other researchers are studying eels at the molecular level, to find out how they and other electric fish have managed to "build" a battery from muscle tissue.
Dr Catania thinks they are "just fascinating animals in their own right".
"It's amazing in the first place that they can give off electricity," he said.
"To use that to control their prey's nervous system is incredible."

The former Paralympic gold-medallist swimmer also claimed another place for GB Para-canoe at next year's Rio Games.
Likewise, Rob Oliver sealed a Rio spot for Britain in the KL3 class with a silver in his final in Milan.
GB disability athletes have now booked four places in Brazil next September.
The victory for Chippington was her ninth Para-canoe world title since she switched to the sport from swimming.
Starting in Seoul in 1988, the athlete, who suffers from a condition affecting the spinal cord, competed in five consecutive Paralympic Games as a swimmer, winning two golds in Atlanta in 1996.
"This has been the toughest of them all with a lot of pressure in the lead up to it," Chippington told BBC Sport.
"Getting the boat place for Rio is another weight off my mind and I'm pretty proud of myself to have qualified the boat."
Omid was diagnosed in 2014 with the non-terminal neurological condition multiple system atrophy.
He told the Victoria Derbyshire show he cannot walk, struggles to talk and tried to take his life in 2015.
Assisted suicide is currently unlawful in the UK, but Omid is seeking to take his case to the High Court.
His lawyers have asked for a full hearing. The judgement has been reserved and is expected to be announced in the coming days.
Omid - whose surname cannot be revealed - told the BBC in his first interview: "I cannot walk or write. I cannot talk OK and [there is an] effect on my mind.
"I can only get out of bed and get up with help and in two or three months' time it's going to get worse."
Aged 54, with children, he is now largely confined to his bed. He has to wear a catheter bag and needs help with all personal care.
Omid's condition is incurable, but he is not sure how long he has to live.
"We don't know how long it could take. It could take more than 10 years - more than 15 years," he explained.

In September 2015, MPs rejected plans for a right to die in England and Wales, in their first vote on the issue in almost 20 years.
Noel Conway, who is terminally ill, is currently challenging the law in the High Court - hoping to seek the right to die for people with a terminal illness with six months or fewer to live.
Omid's case - his lawyer Saimo Chahal QC explains - aims to achieve the right to die for people with incurable conditions that badly affect their lives, but who may still live for many years.
This could include people with motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis and locked-in syndrome.
Omid is aiming to raise funds for his appeal via crowdfunding site CrowdJustice.
It is currently an offence under section 2 of the Suicide Act 1961 to encourage or assist the suicide or attempted suicide of another person in England and Wales.
Assisted suicide is also unlawful in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Omid strongly opposes MPs' 2015 decision to reject plans for a right to die.
"If these MPs who voted against assisted dying or assisted suicide, if their loved ones had the same thing as I have, would they vote against it? No, I don't think so.
"They talk about human life. What's human about this?" he questioned, pointing towards his bed and catheter bag. "This is human? My life is human?
"Even animals live better than me. Even animals, when they can't do anything, they put them to sleep. Don't I have the right for this?"
Disability rights campaigners, however, argue that changing the current law - the 1961 Suicide Act - would be dangerous.
Baroness Campbell - who has spinal muscular atrophy and founded the organisation Not Dead Yet - told the BBC in January that "disabled people want to be valued by society and would see any legal change as a real threat".
"We already have to fight to live; a right to die would be a huge and frightening burden."

The Boston Protest Group said the "peaceful demonstration" was aimed at highlighting the pressure put on local services by migrant workers.
About 300 people gathered at the Herbert Ingram memorial for the demonstration, which organisers said was not aimed at individuals.
An estimated 9,000 foreign workers have settled in the town in recent years.
By Scott DaltonBBC Radio Lincolnshire reporter
In the shadow of Boston Stump with the statue of the town's former MP Herbert Ingram as a backdrop, scores of people both young and old gathered for the protest.
They held banners ranging from "Free Us From The Shackles of Europe" to "Get Back Our Country".
Many told me they felt it was a chance for them to finally air their views in public after feeling they had been ignored too long by politicians.
There were impromptu speeches on a loudspeaker from some of the crowd, while organisers stressed their beef was not with migrants themselves but with the immigration policies of successive governments.
At one point there was even a good-natured conversation between a demonstrator and a Polish man who made the point he always worked hard himself but sympathised with the protesters and wished them well.
Protest organiser Dean Everitt said: "We had a good turnout of people, the right people, and we put our point across peacefully.
"I hope national government are going to know what we've done - we'll take it to Westminster until we get this issue sorted out."
He added: "We've proved a point - we're not right-wing thugs, we're not racists, we're just everyday people that are fed up and sick to the back teeth of migration.
"I work with Polish people and even they've said there are far too many here now."
But migrant worker Martins Zagers said some English people were not prepared to work in local factories because "it was a hard job".
"I work in a factory where there are only Polish, Latvian and Lithuanians," he said.
"From my side I am working hard and I will not take benefits - I am too proud to take benefits."
A protest march planned for last year was cancelled after the borough council agreed to set up a task force.
A report on population change was published as a result, but campaigners said it had not gone "far enough" and government still needed to listen.
The Home Office said it was working to cut net migration from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands by the end of this Parliament and its tough new rules were already taking effect.
Mr Everitt said further protests were being organised - with the next one likely to take place in Spalding. | People living in a Ceredigion seaside village have said shellfish waste on the beach causes injuries.

Liverpool have been allocated only 10,236 tickets for the 18 May final against holders Sevilla in Switzerland.
Klopp said: "Last time I spoke about Basel, I spoke like a supporter and I invited all Liverpool fans to Basel.
"That was not too smart, to be honest. Basel is a nice city but it is not ready for us and it was my mistake."
Uefa was forced to defend its decision to stage the final at St Jakob-Park, which has a capacity of 35,000.
Liverpool may receive a small number of extra tickets should Sevilla not sell their full allocation, but thousands of their supporters are still set to be disappointed.
Klopp, who made his initial suggestion the day after Liverpool had beaten Villarreal at Anfield to reach the final, added: "Please only people with tickets go there because everything else will be chaos and we don't want this.
"We have to concentrate on football. It is wonderful to be in the stadium but if you cannot be there then stay at home or come to Liverpool and watch the game together with friends and let's have a party after this.
"It is really, really, really necessary that you now listen. Most of the time you can ignore what I say but now it is important."
But several start-ups are trying to give this most conservative - and sometimes vexing - of professions a digital makeover.
Basha Rubin, for example, co-founded New York's Priori Legal, an online marketplace that connects lawyers with businesses, after she perceived that there were too many obstacles in the way of businesses trying to find legal services.
Lawyers listed on Priori Legal are vetted by the company and have to have five years of relevant practice experience and good references. The lawyers are also interviewed face-to-face or via Skype.
"In order to stay in the network, lawyers need to maintain a 95% approval rating from Priori clients," explains Ms Rubin, but the start-up declined to reveal how many lawyers are currently on its marketplace.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong's Dragon Law is trying to bridge the gap between start-ups and legal services by helping budding companies become incorporated, draft contracts, or register trademarks online.
Dragon Law's goal is to help start-ups adopt a DIY approach to their legal issues rather than turn to traditional law firms.
The company needing help fills in a questionnaire about its situation, then Dragon Law's software analyses the answers and comes up with the relevant forms and a plan of action.
One of the reasons why legal cases can take so long - and prove so costly - is that it often takes ages to root out relevant documents and research cases.
So Docket Alarm has developed a search and alert tool to helps lawyers find and track cases. Chief executive Michael Sander, previously an attorney specialising in intellectual property, wanted to find a better way of searching for legal documents.
The Docket Alarm tool builds a profile of a case and helps lawyers guess the most likely outcomes based on a number of parameters.
"You can see things like how often did people win, and how does that compare to the national average?" Mr Sander explains. "You can see if a particular judge may be more biased in one way. I'll want to switch judges if I can do that."
The better informed lawyers are, the more effective their decisions will be, Mr Sanders argues.
"Maybe I want to settle the case really quickly because I know I'm going to lose. Or if I think I'm going to win, I can request more money from the other side.
"You can use it as a tool to build a strategy for a case, rather than finding a specific case that matched up," he says.
Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) promise to remove much of the grunt work involved in law. For example, Finland's TrademarkNow has come up with an AI tool for searching and managing trademarks.
But there are pitfalls with this approach in such a heavily regulated sector.
Pittsburgh's LegalSifter originally developed an algorithm that scanned contracts for freelancers and then gave advice on how to improve the terms based on comparisons with standard contracts.
But this fell foul of the regulations, explains LegalSifter's new chief executive, Kevin Miller, who joined last September: "[The company] got some nice press, but unfortunately got some feedback from more than a few attorneys who said that it was unauthorised practice of law."
So the founders and investors decided to take the company in a different direction.
With its ContractSifter program, the start-up now targets companies that need to make sense of a large amount of contracts and terms. Crucially, the new product doesn't offer advice.
It's imperative for any company to state whether or not formal legal advice is being offered, says Ray Berg, managing partner at law firm Osborne Clarke.
"So in the case of start-ups offering guidance, they need to be absolutely explicit about the nature of that advice. Founders will still need to have a trained lawyer to interpret the offerings of any software."
And wrongful interpretation of legal documents by automated programs - or humans - can have serious implications, he adds.
Gaining access to raw data from often opaque legal systems is a huge challenge for digital start-ups wanting to expand globally, says Docket Alarm's Mr Sander.
Companies face hefty fees or being denied access altogether, he says.
"You actually need the data to drive these more advanced tools. In the 21st Century, data is the oil."
Harvard Law School is attempting to address this by scanning reams of court documents dating back centuries and making them available to the public.
Californian data analytics start-up Ravel Law is assisting in the project, which will allow it to benefit from the huge database, while companies like Docket Alarm will be keeping a keen eye on the ambitious digitising process.
A report from the Judiciary of England and Wales proposed the introduction of "online courts" to handle minor civil cases of up to £25,000. It would, in theory, free up the courts and be "largely automated", wrote its author Lord Justice Briggs.
But the UK's Law Society has "grave concerns" over this level of technology in the court system, which may preclude people with no access to IT facilities, who aren't IT literate, or who have learning or language impairments.
"An online court must not be used as a way of normalising or condoning a two-tier justice system where people who cannot afford professional advice are forced to represent themselves, putting them at an unfair disadvantage," says Jonathan Smithers, president of the Law Society.
"We aren't just experts in the law; we're experts in our clients' varying sectors and markets, and so we are able to help them plan for the future," adds Mr Berg. "In this respect, a piece of software simply cannot compete."
"When we started we had a lot of sceptics but over the past three years we've just seen a tidal wave of change in how lawyers are thinking about their business and practices," says Ms Rubin.
"There's still a huge amount of regulatory uncertainty about legal tech companies across the spectrum, and that has a chilling effect, but personally I feel that we're seeing the beginning of an almost cataclysmic change."

Patrick Young from Doune, Perthshire, conned a number of homeowners during a lucrative four-year swindle.
One victim, a 84 year-old woman from West Dunbartonshire, handed over £132,000 oblivious that the work should have cost around £59,000.
Young, 56, admitted 13 charges including fraud and extortion when he appeared in court last month.
On Friday, at the High Court in Paisley, Young was remanded in custody and jailed for eight years and nine months.
Judge Lord Matthews said: "Many of your victims were elderly, and, or vulnerable and as is recognised by Mr Robertson, there was in some cases a breach of the trust which they had reposed in you over some time."
Young, from Doune, Perthshire, was told it was "somewhat alarming" that according to his social work report he showed "no real insight" into the nature of his crimes and the judge said he could not detect any "real expression of remorse".
Lord Matthews said Young's crimes resulted in "significant financial loss" to many and "incalculable" emotional and psychological loss.
Young targeted mostly vulnerable householders over a four year period between 2009 and 2013. His first victim was 84 year-old Katharine Liston, who lived at her cottage in Gartocharn, West Dunbartonshire.
An employee of Young initially turned asking about any maintenance needing done. But, a simple report of a damp patch at her porch ended up in massive upheaval at the OAP's home.
Prosecutor David Nicolson said: "Not knowing any better and trusting the builders, Mrs Liston agreed to the work."
She believed Young was the "boss of the operation". Included in the supposed repairs, the pensioner was told the roof needed replaced and steps required fixing.
Young also insisted "substantial drainage and excavation work" had to be carried out. He went on to state that unless work was done it could flood a neighbour's home.
In July 2013, police spoke to Mrs Liston during a probe into Young's business dealings. A surveyor later calculated that the true cost of the work would have been £58,740. The court heard, however, that Mrs Liston had handed over a total of £132,207.
Young moved on to con a number of people across Edinburgh and Stirlingshire.
Graham Robertson, representing Young, said the conman was aware the crimes were "extremely serious matters".
Young also faces a further hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act next year.
His three sons - Thomas, 28, William, 26, and Michael, 21 - also faced charges of being involved in the scam, but their not guilty pleas were accepted by prosecutors.
Some of the men, who are all British citizens or residents, were detained at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba.
At least six of them alleged UK forces were complicit in their torture before they arrived at Guantanamo.
Foreign Secretary William Hague denied the deal was an admission that security agencies colluded in any mistreatment.
In response to questions, he said the settlement reflected the desire to "move on" and be able to conduct an inquiry.
Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke told the Commons that the settlement was "significant", but had the cases gone to court, it would have cost taxpayers up to £50m.
The coalition government made clear in the summer that it wanted to avoid a massive court case which would also have put the British secret intelligence services under the spotlight. Prime Minister David Cameron offered to enter settlement talks with six men seeking damages, an offer that has now been accepted.
Bisher al-Rawi, Jamil el Banna, Richard Belmar, Omar Deghayes, Binyam Mohamed and Martin Mubanga had led a High Court case against five government departments including MI5 and MI6.
They had claimed that officials in London were complicit in their transfer to Guantanamo Bay and should have prevented it and their ill-treatment.
In May, the Court of Appeal ruled that the government could not rely on secret evidence to defend itself against the six cases, saying allegations of wrongdoing had to be heard in public.
By Dominic CascianiBBC News home affairs correspondent
The government has resisted this legal claim tooth and nail. The court hearings became an exhausting battle of legal wits, as massed benches of government lawyers refused to give ground.
So why settle, given critics will inevitably accuse ministers of a cover-up? The decision should come as no surprise.
The Court of Appeal rejected ministers' pleas to hear secret evidence in closed courts and the drip-drip of secret material from MI5 and MI6 vaults could have become a flood.
Settling the case therefore achieves the government's greater aim.
It triggers the launch of a judge-led inquiry into complicity and rendition. That inquiry will now go about its business but the main accusers won't be appearing in public demanding the exposure of a secret paper trail from Afghanistan to government offices in London.
Paying out millions looks bad, but ministers know that exposing state secrets is worse still.
Since then, more than 60 government lawyers and officials have been sifting through some 500,000 documents at a secret location. The case was estimated to cost millions and could have lasted for at least another three years.
The BBC understands that both the Intelligence and Security Committee and the National Audit Office will be briefed in detail about the nature of the payments. But the settlement also paves the way for the government to launch an inquiry headed by former judge Sir Peter Gibson into the claims made against the intelligence and security agencies.
Mr Hague said it would up to the inquiry to determine whether the case had been damaging for MI5 or MI6, but said it was good for Britain's intelligence agencies to be able to "look entirely to the future, and not spend years going through court cases".
Binyam Mohamed's solicitor, Sapna Malik, said: "I can't confirm any details about the settlement package. All I can say is that the claims have been settled and the terms are confidential.
"Our client was horrendously treated over a period of almost seven years, with a significant degree of collusion from the security services in the UK."
The UK security services have always denied any claims that they have used or condoned the use of torture.
Last month, the head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, described torture as "illegal and abhorrent" and defended the service's need for secrecy.
Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, said of the payments: "It's not very palatable but there is a price to be paid for lawlessness and torture in freedom's name. There are torture victims who were entitled to expect protection from their country.
"The government now accepts that torture is never justified and we were all let down - let's learn all the lessons and move on."
Mr Mohamed, from west London, was held in Pakistan in 2002 before US agencies moved him to Morocco, where he was tortured, before he was sent on to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, via Afghanistan.
During court hearings, it emerged that a British intelligence officer visited him in detention in Pakistan and that his interrogators in Morroco asked him questions supplied by MI5. Around a dozen men who accused British security forces of colluding in their rendition overseas are to get millions in compensation from the UK government.
BBC News website readers have been reacting to the news:
The case in the UK will have little effect on the processes relating to the Guantanamo prison facilities. The Obama administration has made decisions based on domestic criteria. Furthermore the US displays concerns relating to the viability of British Intelligence, security and military assets following failures in Iraq and Afghanistan and pending the defence cutbacks. The most that can be said is that US media will report this which will put pressure on the remaining democrats in marginal seats. Marc, London
Sure, let's move forward but what about the torture undergone by the troops serving in places like Iraq or Afghanistan? Where are the millions for that? Roger, Lichfield
With respect to Guantanamo it is a meaningless move on the part of the UK government. George Bush wanted to close it down and failed, Barack Obama also pledged to shut it down and has failed so far. Why? While some innocent people may have been swept up into it, the vast majority are dangerous men who can neither be set free, nor returned to their home countries where they are liable to experience real torture and death. Niall Firinne, London
Guantanamo should never have existed. What is more the UK government should never have been complicit in its existence and should have said so clearly and unequivocally. It should also have demanded that any British citizens "entrapped" in activities which might have led to their being incarcerated in this abomination should have been handed immediately to the UK authorities to undergo the due process of UK law. We must never be a poodle to the US in such matters again. Whether this will lead to Guantanamo closing is a matter for US law. As much of US law is based on UK law it might suggest that the US is in for a mighty big compensation claim! Keith Foord, Battle
How can a government which has no money give it away so easily? We have to put the security of UK citizens first, even if it means sometimes arresting and interrogating some suspects. There is a price to pay for the justice process to work. We are so soft in the head, it is laughable. This is giving in even more to the culture of compensation. Nabil Zakher, Bexhill
Why are these people being allowed to claim against the people of Great Britain when their alleged crimes were committed in other countries, and their arrest and detention happened in other countries? When the alleged torture and abuse happened in other counties? When the supposed collusion in their alleged torture by our security forces is not proven? When their link to this country is in many cases tenuous at best? Michael, Lincoln

Citing top law enforcement officials, the New York Times said the two devices used flip phones and Christmas lights designed to trigger the explosive.
The blast, in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, injured 29 people.
Officials call it a terror act, but no motive or suspect has been identified.
The second device was found four blocks from the site of the explosion and was removed safely.
New York governor Andrew Cuomo said it appeared to be "similar in design" to the exploded device.
Both were different from a pipe bomb that detonated earlier on Saturday on the route of a charity race in New Jersey, Mr Cuomo added. That explosion caused no injuries.
The unexploded second device was destroyed by police in a controlled explosion late on Sunday.
No group has said it carried out the attack.
New York Mayor Mayor Bill de Blasio said: "Was it a political motivation? A personal motivation? We do not know."
"We know there was a bombing. We know it's a very serious incident. But we have a lot more work to do to be able to say what kind of motivation was behind this.
"All possible theories of what's happened here and how it connects will be looked at but we have no specific evidence at this point in time."
Mr Cuomo said: "Whoever placed these bombs - we will find them and they will be brought to justice."
Some 1,000 extra security personnel are being deployed to New York's transport hubs, police said.
The Chelsea explosion occurred at about 21:00 (01:00 GMT on Sunday) on West 23rd St.
The force of the blast blew out windows and could be heard several blocks away.
Some reports said the bomb went off in a black metal construction toolbox, others that it was in a rubbish bin.
Police refused to give many more details on Sunday, although New York Police Commissioner James O'Neill said that "components indicative of an IED" (improvised explosive device) had been found.
Chelsea is among the most fashionable districts of Manhattan and its bars and restaurants are usually crowded at the weekend.
On Tuesday President Obama and other world leaders are due to attend the UN General Assembly in New York.
Mr de Blasio said there would be a "bigger than ever" police presence in New York in the coming week.
In the Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013, two pressure-cooker bombs packed with shrapnel exploded near the finish line, killing three spectators and injuring about 280.
A police officer was killed during the operation to catch suspects Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, two brothers believed to have converted to radical Islamists. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died in a shoot-out.
Governor Andrew Cuomo called it a politician's "nightmare scenario" - a late-night phone call with news of a crisis. The weekend's attacks in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota have put national security squarely back in the centre of the US presidential election.
A similar scenario unfolded in June following the Orlando nightclub shootings. That was an opportunity for Donald Trump - the "change" candidate who touts his hard line on security issues - to make his case... and he blew it. Mrs Clinton's lead grew as Americans soured on Mr Trump's bellicose response.
This time Mr Trump has been more measured, offering only condolences on Twitter. He did call the New York incident a "bombing" before official confirmation and said the US needed to "get tough", but that was hardly comparable to his jarring comments on Orlando.
Meanwhile, Mrs Clinton cautioned against premature conclusions - perhaps hoping her opponent would again overreact.
With the race tight once again and the first TV debate just over a week away, both candidates are under intense pressure to display their leadership qualities. Saturday's "nightmare scenario" was another test - and it probably won't be the last.
From spectacular views to Victorian period features, a visit to the loo can be an enlightening experience.
Take Skokholm Island off the south west tip of Pembrokeshire.
It is known for its wildlife - particularly its puffins - and its flora but its many visitors can now enjoy a new attraction.
The loos on the island have never been bog standard due to their location and art work from wildlife enthusiasts, but they now boast a stained glass window.
The toilet is also in the process of being twinned with one in Africa which will be on a migratory route for some of Skokholm's birds.
Here are some of the interesting loos in Wales.
Closed last year to save Cardiff council £120,000, the Victorian underground toilets on The Hayes in the city centre are set to reopen under new ownership.
The operators of a nearby snack bar will now look after the Grade II-listed loos.
The highest toilets in Wales with what must be the most spectacular setting, located on Snowdon in Gwynedd, in the visitor centre.
The Hafod Eryri building on the 1,085m (3,560ft) peak opened in 2009 and receives around half a million visitors a year.
These loos at the South Stack beauty spot on Anglesey certainly deserve a mention not only for their stunning views but also because they were auctioned for £87,000 last year.
They are within an area of outstanding natural beauty and of special scientific interest which, according to the RSPB, is "one of the best places for wildlife in the UK".
But they are no longer in use after being sold with planning permission for conversion to a residential dwelling.
The conveniences at the Wales Millennium Centre already have an advantage being located in one of Cardiff Bay's major landmarks.
But they have more to offer than just location and picked up an honour in last year's Loo of the Year awards.
They were judged as the best toilets in the UK in the entertainment venue category.
Another loo of the year winner in Wales was the colourful convenience at the Gypsy Wood activity park in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, which won in the visitor attraction category.

A Libyan interior ministry official told the BBC's Rana Jawad that authorities could not "at this stage speculate on the motive of the crime".

The businessman and professor has control over around 10,000 acres of land, much of it in the Southern Uplands where South Lanarkshire, Dumfriesshire and East Ayrshire meet.
These comprise seven sites of special industrial ugliness, because that is where vast diggers and trucks tore away at hillsides to expose coal seams.
When you visit them, the most striking thing is how fast this happened. They look like it should have taken centuries to have such an impact, yet most were worked in the past quarter century and for less than ten years each.
The area has been worked for coal for eight centuries, some of it deep-mined. Removing topsoil and rock to get at these narrow seams of soil only became commercially viable when the machinery got to the right scale and robustness.
I went with a TV camera crew to the Glenmuckloch opencast site near Sanquhar, being worked by coal company Hargreaves and on land owned by the Duke of Buccleuch.
We watched in awe as each scoop from the digger picked up 15 tonnes. Four scoops goes into each truckload. They could take 100 tonnes each, but that would not be an efficient use of the vast engines. For every tonne of coal removed, around 22 tonnes of rock has to be extracted around the coal seam.
For those who, child-like, wonder at the scale of these machines, the tyres give you some idea of the money involved. Each truck has six tyres, they cost £7,000 each, and because of wear and tear on rocks and gravel, they need to be replaced at least twice a year.
For several other such sites, the money ran out. Fracking in North America undercut coal. US power stations were converted to cheap gas, so as demand for coal fell, the price plummeted.
Scotland had been the biggest player in UK opencast mining. At the start of 2013, the two companies dominating Scottish opencast production - ATH and Scottish Resources Group - went bust. About 1,000 jobs went.
The insolvency experts who took them over quickly found the firms were nowhere close to being adequately funded for the clean-up costs, to which they had committed.
Filling in the giant holes and landscaping Scotland's opencast coalmines would take almost as much earth-moving as the original mining. The cost of that is estimated at £200m.
But the liquidators had only £4m they could hand over, while councils had to go after the bonds (a form of insurance policy) which the companies had taken out.
According to Prof Griggs, if all the bonds were paid out they would raise perhaps £30m to £40m. But as some are being contested by insurance companies, he anticipates between £20m and £25m will be available to him.
The failure to fund the clean-up clearly reflects badly on the defunct firms, which had thought they could finance each restoration project with cash from the next site.
It also reflects poorly on the local councils, which failed to nail down the financial assurances when they awarded the planning approval. Fife was also caught by this. We're assured lessons have been learned, and it won't happen again.
But to salvage what it could, the Scottish government turned to Prof Griggs as its adviser on business regulation. It asked first if red tape was one reason things had gone so badly. His answer was that it was only a part of the explanation.
But having got him interested, ministers then asked if Prof Griggs would lead the newly-created Scottish Mines Restoration Trust, and do what he could to sort out the mess.
The Sanquhar resident began with that £4m budget, employing four people, to secure the sites, fence off ponds where swimmers sometimes unwisely go, and to monitor water quality.
He turned to a wildlife charity, and gifted it some moorland and forest. He is, cautiously, considering options on selling parcels of land to local farmers.
Griggs has been working with the Duke of Buccleuch, owner of Glenmuckloch, from which £100,000 of community funds are expected to come from two wind turbines being installed this summer.
He said: "I'm getting on in life and I decided that if we were looking 25 years into the future, with £100,000 a year to invest in the community, maybe we should ask the young people to do it.
"So the investment committee - the people who'll make the decisions where the money will go - will be the rolling fifth and sixth form of Sanquhar Academy."
In their first year of operation, the pupil committee has compiled a short list of applications for funding, focussing on facilities for the young and for older local residents.
"Having worked with these young people for the last year in putting this together, they've risen to the task amazingly," said Prof Griggs.
"My Trust is giving them a little pump priming at the beginning.
"We've given them £25,000 to start, because it's unlikely that the income from the wind turbines will start to come through until August or September this year."
Prof Griggs turned to the British Geological Survey to see if its members could make use of other sites. What they found astounded them. One told him - perhaps with a little exaggeration - that the Spireslack site in South Lanarkshire, excavated in only the four years to 2007, is the geologists' equivalent of the Large Hadron Collider.
The diggers have exposed layer upon layer of geological pre-history, ripe for study instead in place of geology textbooks or computer generated 3D images.
"This is a geologists' playground," Prof Griggs told me
"When they come here, they go gooey-eyed. These are things you won't see anywhere else in the world."
Where seams of coal and sandstone have been forced up by volcanic activity, and then cleared away in the 21st century, the sheer 'pavement' under it is exposed at around 45 degrees, offering an enticing prospect for geologists and for climbers and abseilers. The last thing they would want to do with £200m, if it were available, would be to fill it this 1km long, 80-metre deep valley.
The disturbed rocks offer abundant opportunities for fossil-hunters. Nearby, flattened terraces of disused coalfield is being considered for lease to chicken farmers.
And while the area could become a public geo-park, turned over to both study and geology education, the leisure potential ranges from a very long zipwire, to mountain and quad biking, to redevelopment of the football pitch where the legendary Glenbuck Cherrypickers team played.
Scotland and Liverpool legend Bill Shankly was born in Glenbuck village in 1913, and was one of dozens of locals who went into professional football.
Although Glenbuck village has been flattened by the earthmovers, scores of fans still make the pilgrimage from Anfield to Shankly's birthplace each year.
If the Restoration Trust's plans work out, the pilgrims could have the opportunity to stay in holiday cottages and play on a restored Glenbuck pitch. The local mining heritage could be explained in a museum. Griggs is looking for the entrepreneurs to make it happen.
Along the valley and a rock's throw from the M74 motorway at the Happendon/Cairn Lodge services, Mainshill Wood opencast site offers more, highly unusual geological formations, where the pressures from millennia ago have left vertical coal and limestone seams.
The topography and location suggest this has more potential as a family-oriented leisure attraction, whereas Spireslack could work better for the committed thrill-seeker.
The ponds on the site are considered ripe for arrays of solar panels or (safety-conscious) leisure boating. As it currently stands, some of the site would work well as a science fiction film set.
According to Prof Griggs, local communities often see only vast scars on the landscape around them, and want them healed. He is encouraging them to see the sites as opportunities to make something out of the new contours of the land.
"I never thought I'd become one of Scotland's biggest landowners," he joked. "It's been great fun doing this. I've learned things. I think everyone should go through life and learn new things. I've met some fascinating people as I've gone through this, and I understand a bit more about geology now.
"But I'm sure the communities will say 'it's not fun having a big hole on my doorstep'. So my real fun will be when I get all the communities back to getting these sorted out for them".
Marnick Vermijl is a doubt with a hernia problem, while Alex Baptiste remains out with his knee injury.
Birmingham are without midfielder David Davis, who is suspended after his 10th booking of the season in Friday night's 3-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday.
Clayton Donaldson (ankle), Michael Morrison (groin), Ryan Shotton (groin) and Jacques Maghoma (knee) are all out.
But Robert Tesche is likely to be available again, after missing Friday's defeat with a sore ankle.
Sue Sim, chief constable of Northumbria, admitted raising her voice out of "frustration" at "significant challenges" faced by the force.
Recorder Joel Bennathan QC investigated Ms Sim's conduct after officers complained to Police and Crime Commissioner Vera Baird about rudeness.
But, he concluded said there had been no breach of standards.
Sue Sim, who led the manhunt for Raoul Moat in 2010, has previously said she will retire in June after 30 years' service.
Ms Baird said if she were not retiring, Ms Sim would have been sent on a management training course to "moderate" her style.
The commissioner also said she had directed Ms Sim to apologise to two particular officers.
Ms Sim said: "I have always accepted that there have been times when I have raised my voice. This has always been about work-related issues and, as a result of the significant challenges we faced, my frustration at the speed of progress.
"It was never my intention to cause any upset and, if I did, then obviously I apologise wholeheartedly.
"I am saddened that some senior members of the organisation chose to act in this manner and have also raised my concerns with the commissioner in respect of the motivations and intent of some of those involved in making complaints against me."
Hourly rates of pay excluding bonuses rose by 0.5% in the last three months of 2015 compared to 0.6% in the prior quarter, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Annual wage growth was 2.2%, the lowest rate since the survey began in 1997.
Analysts said the soft wages growth was a "mixed blessing".
"On the one hand it's a drag for household income growth and hence consumer spending," said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy and chief economist at AMP Capital in Sydney.
"But on the other it's helping limit the upwards pressure on unemployment and helping to further improve the competitiveness of the Australian economy. It also means that there is no inflationary pressure coming from wages."
Australia's economy has seen growth moderate in recent years after its decade-long boom in the mining sector came to an end.
The country's resource companies are in the midst of scaling back operations and cutting production costs to cope with slumping commodity prices.
Earlier this month, data showed the unemployment rate rose to 6%, the highest level since September 2015.
"Business investment is likely to remain negative as the unwind of the mining investment boom continues to weigh," Mr Oliver said.
To counter the slowdown, the Reserve Bank of Australia has cut interest rates to record lows, which has helped boost the housing construction sector.
John Leathem, 32, killed the 15-year-old in a "savage and frenzied" knife attack at his shop in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, last March
He stabbed the schoolgirl 61 times before dumping her body in woods.
Companies House has now given two months notice that his business will be struck off the register and its assets handed to the Crown.
Leathem was originally ordered to serve at least 27 years in prison after admitting the murder but the minimum term was cut to 23 years last month on appeal.
A court heard last year how Paige had gone into the delicatessen, on Fleming Avenue, to buy a sandwich before travelling to her Saturday job at a hairdressers.
Leathem, a married father of two, claimed he panicked after Paige threatened to report him for sexual assault when he did not give her a job.
He then launched a "frenzied" knife attack, inflicting more than 140 injuries and stabbing the teenager 61 times.
CCTV footage showed how he later carried her body, wrapped in bin bags, to his car and drove away.
A notice issued by Companies House now gives his business, Delicious Deli Clydebank Ltd, two months notice that it will be struck off the register and dissolved.
The notice adds: "Upon dissolution all property and rights vested in, or held in trust for, are deemed to be bona vacantia and will belong to the crown."
Members of parliament applauded as President Ram Baran Yadav signed the document in the capital Kathmandu.
Earlier on Sunday police fired on protesters in the south, where some members of ethnic minorities oppose the constitution. At least one person died.
The document defines the majority Hindu nation as a secular republic divided into seven federal provinces.
It was agreed by parliament last week, after years of political wrangling.
Why Nepal's new constitution is controversial?
"We believe that the adoption of the new constitution has now opened the path for development of the country," Mr Yadav told the assembly.
Firecrackers went off in Kathmandu in celebration, and some Nepalese spoke of their relief that the country could now move on.
Student Shyam Sharma told the Associated Press news agency that he hoped politicians could "focus on other important issues like developing the country, improving the economy".
But others across the country are not happy.
Before the signing, clashes broke out between the security forces and a crowd of Madhesi people who had defied a curfew to demonstrate in the town of Birgunj, Parsa district, in southern Nepal.
One person was killed and a number of people were injured.
"They attacked with stones and glass bottles. Some of the security forces have been injured as well as the demonstrators. The situation here is tense," Parsa's chief district officer Kesheb Raj Ghimire told the AFP news agency.
At least 40 people have been killed amid protests by the Madhesi and Tharu ethnic groups in the south in recent weeks.
They are concerned that changes to the borders and election rules will further marginalise them.
The demand for a new charter was raised by Maoists rebels whose 10-year civil war ended with a peace deal in 2006.
In 2008, the Maoists won elections to a constituent assembly, leading to the abolition of the 240-year-old monarchy. But amid squabbling, the assembly failed to draw up a new constitution.
Simon, 29, scored two tries in 65 games for the Dragons before moving to Belle Vue in 2015, making 44 appearances.
He joins Sam Moa, Greg Bird, Iain Thornley, Luke Burgess, Luke Walsh and Brayden Wiliame at the Stade Gilbert Brutus for 2017.
"I'm delighted to come back at the club who allowed me few years ago to turn my passion into a career," Simon said.
"I want to show my determination to win and to be a part of a team who will compete for a trophy."
Be Lucky includes lyrical references to Australian rockers AC/DC and French electro band Daft Punk and will be included in a double album featuring the group's greatest hits.
The band will donate royalties from the new track to teenage cancer sufferers.
One of the most influential rock bands of the 20th Century, their hits include My Generation and I Can See for Miles.
Earlier this year, surviving members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend announced they would play a tour, which starts in the UK in November, to mark their 50 years in the industry.
Daltrey described the tour as "the beginning of the long goodbye".
The new track Be Lucky features the lyrics "You wanna climb without a safety line/ AC/DC's gonna be fine," and a similar refrain, "You want to climb without a safety line/ Daft Punk will tell you that it's gonna be fine."
Daft Punk's single Get Lucky was one of the biggest hits of 2013.
Recorded at British Grove and Yellow Fish Studios, the Who track features long-time collaborators Zak Starkey on drums and Pino Palladino on bass.
In a statement on their website, The Who said: "In keeping with their ongoing support for Teenage Cancer charities, the band have donated their royalties from the song to Teen Cancer America."
Daltrey was instrumental in founding the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2000.
In 2011, Teen Cancer America was founded by Daltrey and Townshend in the US.
In April, Daltrey was presented with the outstanding contribution prize at the Music Week awards for his work with the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Singer Paul Weller praised Daltrey's "tireless, fantastic work" for a "very worthwhile charity".
The Who were formed by singer Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle in London in 1964 and were joined by drummer Keith Moon before recording their first single.
Moon died of a drug overdose in 1978 and Entwistle died of a drug-induced heart attack in 2002.
You simply cannot avoid it. The media is awash with interest in Sunday's World Cup final, with the 'Nationalelf' (national 11) involved against old rivals Argentina.
The stunning 7-1 semi-final win over hosts Brazil resulted in football euphoria only seen before in the country when West Germany won previous World Cup tournaments in 1954, 1974 and 1990.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Three days to go", "two days to go", "one day to go" - these have been the headlines from Germany's biggest selling tabloid Bild. It's the countdown to the final or the 'finaaaaale o-ho' as German fans always sing when their team reaches this biggest of big games.
"Only one more victory to glory" proclaims the twice-weekly football-magazine Kicker.
One thing is for certain: this is a nation with a yearning hunger to win the World Cup, a hunger formed in the 24 years of waiting since the last triumph against, who else, Argentina in 1990.
A Germany versus Argentina final also brings heavy work for all the heroes of 1990, especially Lothar Matthaus, Andreas Brehme, Rudi Voller and goalkeeper Bodo Illgner.
They are suddenly hot property again for the media, who want them to re-tell the story of how the Germans edged out Argentina thanks to an 85th-minute penalty scored by Brehme as then coach Franz Beckenbauer, who captained the nation to glory in 1974, became the first player to win as both captain and coach.
Jurgen Klinsmann, head coach of the US team and beaten by the Germans in the group stage in Brazil, posted via Facebook, holding a German shirt: "Our team will take the crown. Enjoy the moment!"
All the past heroes are certain that the new generation of 2014 will make it.
Confidence in Germany is sky high, with flags draped on balconies, from windows and attached to cars. So much schwarz-rot-gold (black, red and gold) has not been seen since 2006, when Germany hosted the event and Italy beat France in a penalty shootout in the final.
That was the time when the word 'schland' was born - a nickname for the football nation and easy for fans to bawl in stadiums.
Everybody, it seems, expects Germany to win against Argentina on Sunday. Anybody who doubts it risks being called a moaner, a spoilsport. However, the near-hysteria of the media is not excessive; the media merely reflects the atmosphere of an expectant nation.
Losing against Argentina is just not an option. Not at all.
Not after this outstanding tournament. Not with Thomas Muller, Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in such great form. Not after a 7-1 routing of Brazil in their own backyard. Not after these huge reactions from fans and VIPs alike.
From Heidi Klum to Steffi Graf, from actor Til Schweiger to former F1 driver Nick Heidfeld, from basketball player Dirk Nowitzki to Boris Becker - everybody cheered the Low team on Twitter, Facebook or on TV.
German chancellor Angela Merkel and president Joachim Gauck are going to attend the final in Rio de Janeiro, so important is this occasion.
In Germany the feeling is they are all but champions already; the mood here is one of total confidence and belief going into Sunday's game.
It is worth pointing out that being critical about the team had almost become a type of sport in itself in Germany, such was the relatively low belief in Low and his squad going into the 2014 Fifa World Cup.
Results during the preparation period disappointed. A subdued goalless draw against Poland and a 2-2 draw against Cameroon left many observers - both media and fans - believing that Germany might risk not even qualifying for the knockout stages of this tournament. How things have changed since the beginning of June.
The stunning 4-0-victory against Portugal in the opening match was regarded as being comparable to the start in 1990, when Beckenbauer's side hammered Yugoslavia 4-1.
And so to the all-important question: can Die Nationalmannschaft (the national team) repeat the outcome of 1990?
The longing and hunger for the ultimate title in world football is enormous. After winning Euro '96 in England (and knocking the hosts out in the semi-finals), a veil of gloom descended on the team when they were beaten 3-0 in the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals by Croatia in Lyon.
That was followed by a new low point in Euro 2000 when Germany failed to win a single match during the group stages - an outcome which resulted in the youth system being re-organised across the country.
Youth academies were set up with new rules and the promotion of more home-grown players in the Bundesliga.
After losing the 2002 final against Brazil in Yokohama, the first success for the new generation of football was the Sommermarchen (summer fairytale) of 2006 when Germany finished third on home territory, beating Portugal 3-1 in Stuttgart.

Jurgen Klinsmann and his then-assistant coach Joachim Low created a new style, an optimistic, more attacking way of playing as the Germans reinvented themselves on the international stage.
They were runners-up to Spain at Euro 2008, gained another third place at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and featured in the semi-finals of Euro 2012. Now, the uncrowned Golden Generation is at its peak and ready to go one step further.
Miroslav Klose, now the highest World Cup finals goalscorer of all time, Per Mertesacker, Lukas Podolski and the captains Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm were already part of the team in 2006 and all are now mature enough to expect victory.
According to all the experts in Germany, it seems Argentina should be an "easier" team to beat than losing semi-finalists Netherlands would have been.
The Germans are confident that any Brazilian supporters in Rio will cheer for them despite their humiliation in the semis. Surely the locals will not support arch-rivals Argentina on the hallowed turf of the Maracana.
Low has pointed out the significance of this final and has tightened up how his squad are approaching the game.
There have been no more open training sessions for the media, no one-to-one interviews, just press-conferences. Wives, girlfriends of the players or family members are allowed into the self-built exclusive base camp of Campo Bahia. But a glass of beer or wine is forbidden.
Germany are planning (and hoping to have) a big party in Rio on Sunday night at which all the relatives and friends will be welcome. And the German football federation will present the full squad at the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin on Tuesday - but only if they are winners. National heroes.
This third meeting in a final of the two rivals will be different from the previous encounters. There will be no Diego Maradona against Matthaus. It will be Lionel Messi against a team rather than a single German star.
"The atmosphere in the squad has been enormous," Low said. "Even the players on the bench and the ones who did not play a single minute were enthusiastic and got the others water."
The last encounter between Germany and Argentina in a World Cup was the quarter-final in 2010. Germany dominated Argentina, featuring a below-par Messi, coached by Maradona, and won 4-0. Muller scored, Klose twice.
Will there be a new edition for Schland?

Norway, Canada and Denmark also backed the agreement signed in Oslo.
Although the central Arctic is unlikely to have fish stocks for some time, scientists believe they will arrive as thinning ice melts in the summer.
Several neighbouring nations have submitted claims to Arctic territory.
A 21-member UN arbitration panel is considering the competing claims, with the focus on the Lomonosov Ridge, a 1,800km-long (1,120 miles) underwater mountain range that splits the Arctic in two.
Denmark's claim is on behalf of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
Earlier this year, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin opened a Russian drifting base on an Arctic ice floe, in defiance of a Norwegian travel ban.
A deal barring fishing was almost completed last year, but Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula in March 2014 brought talks to a halt.
US officials said that although commercial fishing in the region was not likely to take place in the near future, a "precautionary approach" was necessary.
The five countries had agreed to allow fishing in the area "only once one or more international mechanisms are in place to manage any such fishing in accordance with recognised international standards", a US statement said.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Boerge Brende said in a statement that it was important to persuade other states not part of the deal not to fish in central Arctic Ocean.
Environmental group Greenpeace welcomed the agreement but complained it was not permanent, accusing most of the countries involved of being motivated by resource extraction as well as fishing, rather than protection.
Mane, Africa's most expensive player, was denied by Fabrice Ondoa, Vincent Aboubakar hitting the winning penalty.
Much fancied Senegal had a great chance to win it in normal time but Moussa Sow volleyed wide from close range to leave the game scoreless after 120 minutes.
Cameroon are four-time winners of the tournament.
The result means Mane is likely to make a swift return to his club Liverpool, who suffered a surprising 2-1 home defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.
There were striking similarities to this game and 15 years ago, when Cameroon and Senegal met in the 2002 final in Mali.
On that occasion, Cameroon beat Senegal 3-2 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes.
Senegal were made to pay for missing a number of chances in both normal time and extra time.
West Ham's Cheikhou Kouyate headed an early chance over the bar while Stoke City's Mame Biram Diouf was close with a lob from inside the area.
Cameroon, who will now face the Democratic Republic of Congo or Ghana on Thursday for a place in the final, failed to register a noteworthy shot in the opening hour.
Their first serious attempt on target came in the 65th minute when Robert Ndip Tambe volleyed straight at Abdoulaye Diallo before the Senegal keeper produced a low one-handed save to keep out Benjamin Moukandjo.
Diallo was responsible for ensuring the tie went to penalties after a fine stop to keep out Jacques Zoua in extra time.
In the shootout, there was nothing to choose between the two teams as the first eight penalties went to plan.
At 4-4, Mane stepped forward but Ondoa saved his kick. That presented Aboubakar with a chance to seal victory and the Besiktas forward made no mistake.

"On climate we know what our differences are," Mr Macron said in Paris on Thursday, adding that it was important to move forward.
Speaking alongside Mr Macron, Mr Trump then hinted that the US could shift its position but failed to elaborate.
"Something could happen with respect to the Paris accord," he said.
Mr Trump added: "We'll see what happens."
The US president withdrew from the 2015 Paris climate agreement last month, citing moves to negotiate a new "fair" deal that would not disadvantage US businesses.
Mr Macron said it was right to put the climate issue to one side while the two leaders discussed how they could work together on other matters such as the ceasefire in Syria and trade partnerships.
"We have disagreements; Mr Trump had election pledges that he took to his supporters and I had pledges - should this hinder progress on all issues? No," Mr Macron said.
Mr Macron and Mr Trump then talked about their countries' joint efforts to combat terrorism and in particular the so-called Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.
"The US is extremely involved in the Iraq war," Mr Macron said, "I would like to thank the president for everything done by American troops in this area".
"We've agreed to continue our joint work," he added, "in particular building the post-war roadmap".
Mr Macron said that France would seek to "undertake several robust initiatives" to help produce greater stability and "control over the region".
Mr Trump, who is in Paris for a two-day visit, was earlier welcomed by Mr Macron with an official military ceremony.
The US president then visited the tomb of Napoleon before Friday's Bastille Day celebrations.
The trip is aimed at reaffirming historic ties but comes amid tension due to the two leaders' different positions over climate change.
Air Force One touched down at Orly airport in Paris earlier on Thursday; Mr Trump and the First Lady emerging from their flight across the Atlantic in an effort to help strengthen US-France relations.
"Emmanuel, nice to see you. This is so beautiful," Mr Trump said as he was met by Mr Macron at the Hotel des Invalides, near the site of Napoleon's tomb.
Despite their clear differences, Paris has emphasised that Mr Macron will work to reaffirm historic ties between the two allies to prevent the US from being isolated.
Following the ceremony at Les Invalides the leaders moved on to the Élysée Palace.
Mr Trump will also dine with Mr Macron at the Eiffel Tower and watch the Bastille Day parade on the Champs-Élysées.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of US forces entering World War One, and for this occasion US and French troops will be marching together in the parade.
Speaking to the BBC, the former US diplomat and state department official, William Jordan, said the visit was likely to be viewed by Mr Trump as an opportunity for the US president to be "taken seriously in the world".
"I think that there's a lot of symbolism in this," he said, adding: "I doubt that there's going to be very much more beyond substantive discussion."
Demonstrations are expected. French protesters have planned a "No Trump Zone" at the Place de la Republique. The Facebook page for the event states: "Trump is not welcome in Paris".
Mr Trump's visit comes amid fresh allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, with his eldest son admitting he held a "nonsense" meeting that had promised Russian government information about his father's democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Mr Trump has since described the mood in the White House as "fantastic" and told Reuters that the administration was "functioning beautifully".
Heidi Loughlin, 32, discovered she had a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer after falling pregnant with her third child.
Ally Louise Smith was born by C-section on 11 December weighing just 2lb 5oz but died on Saturday.

In it, the Metropolitan Police officer wrote: "Yesterday afternoon our hearts broke in two. For we had to say goodbye to you."
She added that "the pain in my body and heart and my soul feels it will consume me and leave me un-whole".
Doctors discovered Ms Loughlin's cancer in September after she noticed a rash on her breast while feeding her baby son Tait.
She was given the option of terminating the pregnancy so she could begin aggressive chemotherapy.
But she decided to keep her baby and begin a less aggressive form of treatment which is expected to start on Wednesday.
Writing on her blog after Ally's birth, the mother-of-three said she was "absolutely thrilled" to announce the baby had been born safely.
"She was born today via c section at 1237. She came out foot first and is breathing on her own. She weighs 2lb 5ozs. She has a Laughlin (sic) nose and she has more hair than me!!!"
England's Schools Minister Nick Gibb announced a change of heart after an outcry over the lack of female thinkers in the draft politics syllabus.
"We've seen the strength of feeling," said Mr Gibb.
Science campaigner Jacquelyn Guderley said: "This should act as a springboard for more female role models."
Ms Guderley, co-founder of the Stemettes group, which encourages girls into science, maths and engineering careers, said there should be more female representation "across the board, particularly in science, technology, engineering and maths".
"You can't be what you can't see, which is why including varied female role models across all subjects is of crucial importance."
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said there was still a long way to go before women were fully represented across the curriculum.
"Women's achievements are under-represented and undervalued in a wide range of subjects from history to English literature," said Ms O'Grady.
In a House of Commons debate on Monday, Mr Gibb admitted the government had not properly recognised the role of female political thinkers in its draft plans for politics A-level.
He said the final content of the A-level politics course would give students "the opportunity to study the core ideas of feminism".
Exam boards were already making changes to the final syllabus, he said.
The original proposals, announced late last year, included three core political ideologies: socialism, liberalism and conservatism - but feminism was dropped as a named topic.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, who is also equalities minister, intervened personally to make the change after a consultation on the plans revealed widespread opposition, said Mr Gibb.
Mary Wollstonecraft - author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman - had been the sole feminist voice in the draft proposals but the final content would include names such as Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt and Rosa Luxemburg, he suggested.
"We recognise that the work of female political thinkers was not given due weight in the draft content and the final content will set out clearly those female political thinkers whose work should be studied."
Opposition to the original plans was kickstarted by a petition set up by student June Eric-Udorie. The petition gained more than 46,000 signatures.
"It's great news! It's a victory!" wrote Ms Eric-Udorie on change.org.
"Removing women and feminism from the syllabus would have been an insulting move.
"Women have and will continue to contribute to their societies and their contributions must be recognised and seen for how valuable they are.
"I am pleased to say that they will be returned to where they rightfully belong."
In December a separate campaign to include women composers in the music A-level syllabus resulted in exam board Edexcel adding compositions by female composers including Clara Schumann, Rachel Portman and Kate Bush to the final syllabus.
The draft new syllabus had not included "even one female composer", according to student Jessy McCabe, who set up the petition.
A Department for Education spokesman said recent updates to the curriculum had boosted the number of women being studied, particularly in history, music, politics and science, while citizenship education also included sections on feminism.
"It is vital pupils are exposed to a curriculum and qualifications promoting equality and the achievements of women," said the spokesman.
"Our new curriculum sets out the essential knowledge and frees teachers to develop lessons that will excite and inspire pupils about key figures such as the Suffragettes, Rosa Parks, Jane Goodall or Marie Curie."
Two boys named locally as Corey Price and Rhodri Miller, both aged 17 and from Barry, and a girl, also 17, named locally as Alesha O'Connor, died in the collision near Storey Arms, Brecon.
Margaret Elizabeth Challis, 66, from Merthyr Tydfil was also killed.
Seven teenage male drivers were arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after the incident on Friday.
It is believed they had been travelling in convoy at the time. All have now been released on bail.
Corey Price had been a member of the Cardiff City Academy since the age of nine. A one-minute applause in tribute to him was held in the 17th minute of the Bluebirds' match against Charlton on Saturday.
Rhodri Miller was a former junior player with Dinas Powys FC and his father still coaches at the club.
A club spokesperson said: "We are all deeply saddened by the loss of Rhodri Miller. His father is respected by the coaches, players and parents at the club.
"Our thoughts are with all the families involved in this tragic incident."
Dylan Jones, head teacher at Ysgol Bro Morgannwg school in Barry, paid tribute to the boys, describing them as "talented". He said the school would come together on Monday to remember them.
"They will be remembered as sociable and jolly and a little bit mischievous, I'm sure - the both of them," he said.
"But on Monday we will come together and we will share our thoughts and will be able to reflects on their lives and hopefully celebrate their lives."
Supt Chris Curtis, from Dyfed-Powys Police, said the force was investigating what happened.
"This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the families at this difficult time," he said.
A green Volkswagen Golf and a black Volkswagen Golf estate were involved in the collision at about 22:15 GMT on Friday.
One motorist who arrived on the scene shortly after the crash described seeing a car engine lying in the road.
The New Jersey businessman has bought a "significant minority share".
However, a statement confirmed chairman James Brent will keep his majority shareholding and has not sold any of his shares.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be involved with Argyle - it's the realisation of a boyhood dream," Hallett said.
"I've learned from talking to James and his colleagues, and from doing due diligence, that this is now a really well-run club."
The Pilgrims went into administration in 2011 and were taken over seven months later by Brent's Akkeron Group.
Hallett, who went to school in the city, has been joined on the now eight-member board of the League Two side by his associate John Morgan.
"Our ambitions for the club are well aligned and we look forward to their contribution in moving the club forward as we leave the shadows of administration well behind us," Brent commented. | Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he regrets telling Reds fans without tickets to travel to Basel for their Europa League final.

Electronic roadside signs will display fuel prices, enabling drivers to choose the cheapest place to fill up.
Mike Wilson from Highways England, which is behind a trial of the signs, said: "We want road users to be more informed and in better control of their journeys."
The 18-month trial starts next spring.
Mr Wilson said it would help drivers to be "better prepared, more inclined to plan breaks and have a positive driving experience".
He added: "It's still very important for motorists to properly plan their journeys and ensure they have sufficient fuel.
"Running out of fuel on motorways can be hazardous to yourself and other drivers."
Drivers will be alerted to the cost of petrol and diesel from Gordano, Sedgemoor, Bridgwater, Taunton Deane and Exeter services.
If the project is successful it could be rolled out nationally.
Roads minister Andrew Jones said: "This trial will allow drivers to be much better informed about the cost of fuel and make it easier to plan their breaks around the cheapest deals."
Highways England said it would monitor whether there are any safety implications, including drivers running out of fuel.
Mr Modi invited them to "make in India", the name of a national programme which aims to make India a global manufacturing hub.
He said "reform in governance" was his top priority to ensure accountability.
Mr Modi's five-day visit to the US will also see him meet top Silicon Valley leaders and attend a Facebook townhall.
Among the CEOs who met Mr Modi were Citigroup Chairman Michael O'Neill, MasterCard CEO Ajay Banga, Boeing International President Marc Allen and Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn.
Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch tweeted after the meeting that he had a "great hour" with the Indian prime minister.
"Best leader with best policies since independence, but massive task to achieve in most complex nation", the tweet read.
India's ambassador to the US Arun K. Singh told a media conference later that chief executives had been "upbeat" after the interaction and said: "They felt that the initiatives being taken by the government were inaccurately assessed and reported, and appreciated the trend and direction in India."
India's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Vikas Swarup added that "Everyone was happy with the changes in India. Their only demand was that the changes be faster".
Meanwhile the White House has confirmed that US President Barack Obama will meet Mr Modi on the sidelines of the UN summit on Friday.
Senior Obama National Security Aide Ben Rhodes said the discussions would include issues related to a major climate conference, where countries are being asked to set emissions targets, the AFP news agency reported.
It follows a public inquiry last year into the airport's bid to remove a cap on the number of seats it can sell each year on departing flights.
It is currently set at two million seats.
The Planning Appeals Commission (PAC) report does not object to the move.
However, it recommends a stricter system of noise controls than the City Airport has put forward in its planning application.
The Environment Minister Mark H Durkan wants feedback by next month, before making a decision on the airport's application.
The airport has been attempting to lift the seats cap since 2004.
Residents' groups in the surrounding areas have been opposing the idea, arguing it will mean many more flights and bigger aircraft.
The PAC report states: "We strongly believe while the growth of the airport is desirable from an economic perspective, a balance must be struck with the noise impact."
It adds the controls put forward by the airport "would allow noise levels to affect more people than is presently the case".
A spokesperson for George Best Belfast City Airport said: "We welcome the recommendation by the Planning Appeals Commission to remove the seats for sale limit which has been a long standing barrier to our business.
"We will consider in more detail the findings of the report and will submit our views to the department."
Voting numbers show a 34% increase from advance polling in the 2011 election, according to Elections Canada.
Long lines at polling stations included people dressed up in costumes to make political statements.
Voters are allowed to wear costumes and masks as long as they take an oath and provide identification.
Some voters wore costumes and masks to protest over the proposed Conservative law banning wearing niqabs during citizenship ceremonies.
The number of people who came out to vote exceeded predictions.
"So in that sense, it was exciting that so many people are coming out to vote," Elections Canada spokesman Dugald Maudsley told the CBC.
Polls were open throughout the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in Canada.
Some voters waited 45 minutes to two hours to cast their ballot in early polling, according to the CBC.
"One is that usually there is a big rush at the very beginning of advance polls. This has happened every federal election and that, as people tend to get going and get used to the process, things do tend to move more quickly," Mr Maudsley said.
For most of the campaign season, the incumbent Conservatives, the left-centre Liberals and the New Democratic Party have been tied in the polls, but a new poll tips in favour of the Liberals.
Tightened election laws from the Conservative government did not have a large effect on early voting, Mr Maudsley said.
"Maybe it's the good weather, maybe it's the fact that ... it's a weekend and they're on holidays," he said.

He was talking about diversity in UK acting when he made the comment.
Anti-racism charity Show Racism the Red Card says the term is "outdated".
The Oscar-nominated actor was telling American television presenter Tavis Smiley that he believes Hollywood offers more opportunities for black actors than the UK does.
He said: "I think as far as coloured actors go it gets really difficult in the UK, and a lot of my friends have had more opportunities here (in the US) than in the UK and that's something that needs to change."
His comments were quickly criticised online and charity Show Racism the Red Card said that he had "highlighted the issue of appropriate terminology".
They said: "The term 'coloured' is now outdated and has the potential to cause offence due to the connotations associated with the term and its historical usage."
In a statement the 38-year-old said: "I can only hope this incident will highlight the need for correct usage of terminology that is accurate and inoffensive.
"The most shaming aspect of this for me is that I was talking about racial inequality in the performing arts in the UK and the need for rapid improvements in our industry when I used the term.
"I feel the complete fool I am and while I am sorry to have offended people and to learn from my mistakes in such a public manner, please be assured I have.
"I apologise again to anyone who I offended for this thoughtless use of inappropriate language about an issue which affects friends of mine and which I care about deeply."
Newsbeat's entertainment reporter Natalie Jamieson looks at if this could affect Benedict Cumberbatch's career.
"Benedict Cumberbatch has apologised profusely and while no time would've been good for this type of controversy, the timing is particularly bad.
"As you're probably aware, Benedict is a nominee for actor in a leading role at the Oscars and the voting for that is still taking place.
"It's fair to say his fellow nominees Eddie Redmayne, Michael Keaton, Bradley Cooper and Steve Carell probably just got an indirect voting boost.
"Benedict's also nominated for best actor at this year's Baftas.
"If you watch the full interview between Benedict and Tavis Smiley, his words leading up to this comment were all about praise for fellow Brits David Oyelowo and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
"Benedict's career will be fine after this, but any unease he felt before about walking those red carpets at the Oscars and Baftas just intensified."

The hosts struggled with the bowling of Dan Lawrence (3-35) and Graham Napier (3-50) as they made 219-8 with James Franklin's 55 boosting their innings.
Essex started well, with Nick Browne hitting 79, but they struggled when he was removed by Franklin.
The visitors needed 11 runs off the last six balls but lost Ashar Zaidi and finished five runs short on 215-9.
Toby Roland-Jones (4-40) had kept Essex pegged back in their innings with the paceman doing the damage as time ran out for the visitors.
Despite the defeat, Essex remain in second place in the One-Day Cup South Group table, with a game still to play.
The Austrian will retire from racing after this weekend's World Endurance Championship finale in Bahrain.
However, he has told Manor boss Stephen Fitzpatrick he has other plans.
Wurz, 41, told BBC Sport: "After a period of consideration, I have informed Stephen Fitzpatrick that I have taken the decision not to make myself available to Manor."
Manor team boss John Booth and sporting director Graeme Lowdon have resigned - their last race with the team will be the season finale in Abu Dhabi in November - and Dave Ryan has been appointed as racing director.
Fitzpatrick said he and Wurz had discussed the role of team principal but that a formal job offer was not made.
Former McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh has also been linked with the job.
Fitzpatrick said: "We haven't offered the post of team principal to anyone but I have been talking to a lot of people and asking for advice.
"I have asked a lot of people a lot of things."
Whitmarsh said he had been in contact with Fitzpatrick but added: "I do not intend to become team principal at Manor."
Whitmarsh was ousted by McLaren chief executive Ron Dennis in a boardroom coup in January, and said he was "not looking for a team principal role in F1 full stop".
He added that he would "definitely say no" if he was offered the position by Fitzpatrick.
Whitmarsh is chief executive officer of the Ben Ainslie Racing America's Cup team as the multiple Olympic champion prepares for the next America's Cup in 2017, following his victory with Oracle Team USA in 2013.
Wurz, who is president of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association and also an adviser to the board of the Williams team, praised Fitzpatrick's decision to save Manor from oblivion last winter and his decisions to secure Mercedes engines and a technical partnership with Williams for next year.
Fitzpatrick, the boss of the energy firm Ovo, bought Manor last winter after the team, which raced as Marussia in 2014, went into administration and missed the final three races of last season.
"Stephen did a smart move to buy the team, and his signing with Williams and Mercedes show he's both serious and ambitious about the team's future."
Manor have yet to name any drivers for 2015, but among those linked to the team are current drivers Will Stevens, Alexander Rossi and Roberto Merhi, as well as Indonesian GP2 driver Rio Haryanto and former McLaren driver Kevin Magnussen.
Magnussen, who raced for McLaren in 2014 but has been released by the team after a year as their reserve driver, is also in the running for a position with the Porsche World Endurance team after impressing in a test last week.
The Republicans passed a budget measure that eases passage of a new law and would overcome any Democratic block.
But lawmakers in both parties remained concerned about a lack of replacement for the law, known as Obamacare.
The political showdown raises a big question mark over medical coverage for more than 20 million Americans.
The measure passed in the House nearly on a party-line vote, 227-198, delivering a blow to President Obama's legacy a week before he leaves office.
It instructs four committees on Capitol Hill to draft repeal legislation by 27 January.
The Senate passed the resolution by 51-48 on Thursday.
Can Obamacare be repealed?
US patients await Obamacare's fate
"By taking the first step toward repealing Obamacare, we are closer to giving Americans relief from the problems this law has caused," House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement following the vote.
"This resolution gives us the tools we need for a step-by-step approach to fix these problems and put Americans back in control of their health care."
Obamacare has provided healthcare subsidies and medical coverage for millions who are not covered through work.
It has banned insurers from refusing coverage to people who are already ill, and curbed medical charges to the sick and elderly.
But the law has been rocked by rising premiums, large fees and national insurers exiting the marketplaces.
Egged on by Donald Trump, Republicans have vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act but conservatives have not yet agreed on a new plan.
Republicans have provided few details on their plans to replace Obamacare.
It is expected the replacement would seek to end the statute's unpopular requirement that many individuals buy coverage and that larger companies provide it to workers.
However, experts say these mandates are needed to keep the insurance marketplace solvent.
Mr Trump's choice for health and human services secretary, Tom Price, will play a key role in shaping the planned overhaul.
The Georgia congressman has previously touted his own Obamacare replacement plan.
The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said this month that repealing Obamacare would cost about $350bn (£286bn) over the next decade.
Republicans hope a budget reconciliation bill - which would strip Obamacare of funding - will now be drafted in committee and could pass a month after that.
It would be able to pass with a simple majority in the Republican-controlled Congress, making it filibuster-proof.
He made the comments at a meeting of political leaders in Yangon.
The National League for Democracy (NLD) has won about 80% of contested seats with just a few results still to be announced.
If power is transferred, it will end more than 50 years of military-backed government in Myanmar.
At a gathering of all Myanmar's political parties, the president said all duties would be transferred to the next government systematically and on schedule.
He said: "We will make sure it will be smooth and stable without having to worry about anything."
Thein Sein has made similar comments online before, but he has now repeated them in public.
The president also said that the successful election was a result of the reform process put in place by his Union Solidarity and Development Party, which has won only 41 of the 478 seats that have so far declared. The NLD has 387.
The military has already said it will abide by the election result.
Ms Suu Kyi is expected to hold talks with the president and the army chief in Nay Pyi Taw next week.
The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Yangon says they will face the thorny issue of the upcoming "lame duck" parliamentary session. The old pre-election Burmese parliament is due to gather next week for a final session that runs until the end of January.
Only once the "lame duck" session ends will the new NLD-dominated parliament gather. It will immediately choose a new speaker, quite possibly Ms Suu Kyi, before selecting two vice-presidents and a president.
Election results came in slowly following the vote on 8 November.
It was only on Friday - five days after the poll - that the NLD finally won the two-thirds majority it needs to form the next government. It needs that amount because the constitution reserves 25% of seats in both houses of parliament for the army.
The process of choosing the next president will begin in January, when the new parliament gathers.
Aung San Suu Kyi has told the BBC that she, as the leader of the winning party, will be Myanmar's next de-facto leader.
Does the NLD now control Myanmar?
Not really - it has enough seats in the upper and lower house to choose the president but the army has 25% of seats and controls key ministries, so they will need to work together.
Will Aung San Suu Kyi be president?
No - the constitution, written by the military, bars people with foreign spouses or offspring, as she does, from the top job. The clause was widely seen as being written specifically to prevent her from taking office. But Ms Suu Kyi she has repeatedly said she would lead the country anyway if the NLD won.
Can the NLD just change the constitution?
No - the military can veto any moves to change it.
Was the election fair?
"Largely," said Ms Suu Kyi. But hundreds of thousands of people, including the minority Muslim Rohingya, were not allowed to vote, and no voting took place in seven areas where ethnic conflict is rife.
About 30 million people were eligible to vote in the election - turnout was estimated at about 80%.
It was widely seen as a fair vote though there were reports of irregularities, and hundreds of thousands of people - including the Muslim Rohingya minority, who are not recognised as citizens - were denied voting rights.
Stewards decided the Ferrari driver was "predominantly" responsible for a collision that caused Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg to spin and drop back.
Vettel has also been given two penalty points on his licence for the incident.
The four-time champion felt the clash was a "racing incident" but stewards said he had made a "small error".
The decision was made even though the stewards accepted Vettel's explanation he had not been going excessively fast.
They ruled that "although the cars involved in the incident were all going at relatively similar speed" Vettel should be punished because he had caused Rosberg to "lose multiple positions".
The Japanese Grand Prix takes place next Sunday at the Suzuka Circuit, 30 miles from Japan's third-largest city, Nagoya.
Vettel had been trying to overtake Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who used an expletive in calling the German "crazy", adding: "He smashed into Rosberg like an idiot."
After the race, Verstappen said: "I braked late but I was still behind Nico, and then Sebastian just dived up the inside, just went really deep and there was definitely no space for that and he T-boned Nico."
Rosberg said: "Oh, I just got T-boned by a four-time world champion out of control!"
Vettel said: "If anything I was braking the same point as him [Verstappen]. I was going side by side, he was squeezing me down to the inside. It's racing.
"I think both of us will make the corner, not a problem. Obviously Nico decided to take a different line, he's ahead, he's got nothing to do with it and doesn't have to bother what people are doing behind.
"I think there are two things that are wrong. First that Nico, without any blame, gets turned around. And second that I'm standing here and the race is still going on."
"Racing him is moving around, everybody knows by now," Vettel said.
"If you get squeezed to the inside your angle doesn't get any better for Turn One, and then it was, I don't know the word, it was quite bad, the angle.
"I was trying to do everything to turn and get the corner. I do get the corner no problem, I'm not braking too late. Nico obviously tries to cut back, I guess to fight Lewis. At that point we made contact."
Several homes were evacuated during the search operation in Donegall Avenue off the Donegall Road.
The devices, described by police as viable, were made safe by Army explosives experts before being taken away.
Police said the operation was part of an ongoing investigation into serious crime.
They said on Saturday that their enquiries were continuing.
Elizabeth Edwards, 49, and her 13-year-old daughter Katie were found dead in Spalding in April.
The 15-year-old denies murder, but has admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, at Nottingham Crown Court.
A boy, also 15, has already pleaded guilty to murder.
Neither teenager can be named because of their ages.

On the second day of the trial a transcript of the girl's police interview was read.
She told officers she and her co-accused, who was 14 at the time, had planned the killing of Elizabeth and Katie Edwards in the days before their deaths on the evening of 13 April.
She also said they had attempted to carry out the killings on two other occasions.
The jury heard her tell police her co-accused had stabbed Ms Edwards in the neck and then smothered her before going into 13-year-old Katie's room and stabbing her.
The trial continues.
The breach came after the laptop of an employee at Hewlett Packard Enterprise working on a naval contract was "compromised", the Navy said.
It added that "unknown individuals" accessed the sensitive information on current and former sailors.
The data included names and social security numbers, but the Navy does not currently believe it was misused.
"The Navy takes this incident extremely seriously - this is a matter of trust for our sailors," said Vice Adm Robert Burke, the chief of naval personnel.
"We are in the early stages of investigating and are working quickly to identify and take care of those affected by this breach."
The US Navy has about 430,000 sailors on active duty or in ready reserve.
Sailors are being contacted in the coming weeks and the Navy said it was looking into credit monitoring services for those affected.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which separated from US computer firm HP last year, informed the Navy on 27 October about the laptop.
After a Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) investigation, it was found that the data of 134,386 sailors had been accessed.
A spokesman for Hewlett Packard Enterprise said: "This event has been reported to the Navy and because this is an ongoing investigation, HPE will not be commenting further out of respect for the privacy of our Navy personnel."
David Davis said a "sustainable" system would take into account the needs of the NHS and different industries.
He also said the government had a "huge contingency plan" for the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
Mr Davis was speaking on a special edition of BBC Question Time ahead of Wednesday's formal Brexit notification.
The government has yet to specify how the UK's immigration system will work once it is no longer bound by EU free movement rules, but has promised to restore "control" to borders with new curbs in place.
Mr Davis said the new system would be "properly managed".
It would be for the home secretary to decide the system to be used, he said, but added: "I cannot imagine that the policy will be anything other than that which is in the national interest.
"Which means that from time to time we will need more, from time to time we will need less.
"That is how it will no doubt work and that will be in everybody's interests - the migrants and the citizens of the UK."
The Brexit secretary was urged by a German NHS worker in the audience to "do the decent thing" and guarantee EU nationals the right to stay in the UK.
He promised the issue would be a priority when talks begin.
On Wednesday Prime Minister Theresa May will invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which begins the negotiation process.
During the Britain after Brexit debate the panellists, who included former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond and Labour Brexit spokesman Sir Keir Starmer, were asked what would happen if no deal was reached.
Mr Davis said the government had spent the nine months since June's Brexit vote preparing a plan.
He said it was not a scenario the government wanted to see, but added: "We have got a huge contingency plan, exercised across all of these issues, every department of government."
Mr Salmond said the government's view that no deal is better than a bad deal was "nonsensical".
But UKIP's Suzanne Evans criticised "hyperbole" about "crashing out" of the EU.
Mr Davis also said the UK would abide by its obligations when it comes to settling outstanding liabilities with the EU, but played down claims these could amount to £50bn.
Former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said the EU was "simply going to ask us to settle the tab before we leave", and Mr Starmer said the UK had to honour its debts "otherwise no country is going to want to deal with us" in future trade negotiations.
But a man in the audience compared the EU's demands with "the bully in the playground taking our lunch money".
On Wednesday, the prime minister will send a letter to the president of the European Council telling him officially that the UK wants to leave.
Triggering Article 50, the letter will set in motion a two-year process in which the terms of the UK's departure from the EU will be hammered out, as will the outline of the UK's future relationship with the remaining 27 EU members.
As things stand, the UK is set to leave the EU on 29 March 2019 although this deadline could be extended if both sides agree.
More than 33.5 million people voted in a referendum last June on the UK's future in the EU. They voted to leave by a margin of 51.9% to 48.1%.
Police said it was believed the men were injured during a fight close to Basingstoke Leisure Centre at about 18:30 BST on Thursday.
The men, both in their late 30s, are being treated in hospital. One of them is described as being in a serious condition.
A cordon was put in place overnight while investigators examined the scene.
Police have appealed for anyone who may have witnessed the attack to come forward.
The suspects have been detained on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Taxi firm owner Nasser Rezaie, 63, ran down fellow cabbie and mechanic Allan Frampton, 60, with his Mercedes S Class in a cul-de-sac in Chelmsford on 9 May.
The city's crown court heard the killing was premeditated and the new couple had faced threats for months.
Mr Rezaie admits he was driving the car but denies murder.
He claims "loss of control" due to the emotional turmoil, which he argues makes him guilty of manslaughter.
The court heard Mr Rezaie had warned he would cut both their throats and decapitate them.
Jurors heard tracking devices fitted to a car belonging to Mr Rezaie's wife, Jane, sent location alerts to the defendant's mobile phone so he could follow her.
Peter Gair, prosecuting, said: "The defendant was not willing to accept the marriage was over, despite being told a number of times by family and friends."
Mrs Rezaie began a relationship with Mr Frampton, from Hatfield Peverel, who maintained some of the family firm's taxis, in 2012.
He died from multiple injuries after being hit several times by the car in Osea Way in May. The attack was caught on private CCTV cameras in the street.
Before the killing, Mr Rezaie wrote on Facebook he believed Mr Frampton was only interested in Mrs Rezaie's money.
In other posts he wrote "jail is free" and "I believe justice will be done".
A violent attack on Mrs Rezaie was recorded in a voicemail message, on another occasion, jurors were told.
Before the killing Mr Rezaie told her he had earlier considered running Mr Frampton over but did not as he was standing close to somebody else, the court heard.
In another voicemail, he told his wife: "Don't walk to close to him when you walk together."
The trial continues.
The Hong Kong player won eight frames in a row to claim his first ranking event since the 2013 Australian Open.
The Scot, 41, began with three straight centuries and a 78 break to go 4-1 up, but Fu won three frames to level it.
He took the first four before the evening session interval and sealed victory after play resumed.
"I played great at the start and was feeling good but from 4-1, Marco just totally froze me out and played fantastically," said world number three Higgins.
Four-time world champion Higgins had been hoping to move clear of Steve Davis and Ronnie O'Sullivan's 28 ranking titles in the overall list behind Stephen Hendry's record of 36.
For Fu, this was his ninth victory in 15 career meetings and his second ranking title in Scotland, having won his first at the Grand Prix in Aberdeen in 2007.
He hit his 11th ton of the week to get to 3-1 and had runs of 89, 59, 59 and 60 in the second session.
"The way John started the match I thought it was going to be 9-1 or 9-2," said the world number 14, who collected a winning cheque for £70,000 and was presented with the inaugural Stephen Hendry Trophy by the seven-time world champion himself.
"In a short spell I think I kind of dragged John down to my standard a little bit, and those three frames from 4-1 to get to 4-4 were very crucial.
"I was feeling over the moon after the first session, and tonight I played much better match snooker.
"I just can't believe I am the champion. In the first part of the season I was really struggling but I somehow found some form at the UK Championship [where he reached the semi-finals] and now I have won 15 out of 16 matches. It is probably the best win of my career."
Cloak uses public location data from other social networks, Foursquare and Instagram, to determine the locations of others you know.
Users can choose to receive an alert when certain people are believed to be nearby.
It is the latest in the recent trend of "anti-social", or secretive, apps.
Apps such as Snapchat - which deletes photographs and videos seconds after they have been viewed - and Secret - which broadcasts messages anonymously - are growing in popularity.
Likewise WhatsApp, a private-messaging service recently bought by Facebook for $19bn (£11.4bn), indicates a shift back to conducting online conversations in private.
Cloak describes itself as a method to "avoid exes, co-workers, that guy who likes to stop and chat - anyone you'd rather not run into".
It was created by programmer Brian Moore and the former creative director of viral news site Buzzfeed, Chris Baker.
Mr Baker told the Washington Post that his service was typical of the direction social networking was taking.
"Personally, I think we've seen the crest of the big social network," he said.
"Things like Twitter and Facebook are packed elevators where we're all crammed in together… I think anti-social stuff is on the rise. You'll be seeing more and more of these types of projects."
Nick Jones, editor-in-chief of App Magazine, told the BBC he was unconvinced - though tempted.
"It does sound like a gimmick," he said. "But I might use it myself!"
He suggested that these niche apps were being developed not because of any great consumer need, but because developers are keen to corner some of the few remaining untapped social-media markets.
"People are having to diversify their apps and find some unique angle to their app, and then try and sell it to Facebook and make a pretty penny."
However, he admitted: "Secrecy has its advantages for people. It's quite attractive."

Autism can affect the way you live your life and see the world around you.
It's not a disease or an illness, but a condition you're born with.
Alex says he finds it difficult to cope in busy environments and can get upset if there are too many people or if it's too noisy.
He's been helping to make the film to try and let other people understand more about autism.
The BBC's disability reporter, Nikki Fox, went to meet him.
A total of 252 soldiers of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers were killed at Festubert in France on 15 May 1915 in what was the first planned night attack of the war.
In total, more than 20,000 men died over 10 days of fighting.
The Enniskillen-based regiment suffered its heaviest losses of World War One, enduring a higher rate of casualties than at the battle of the Somme.
While the Somme lives on in popular memory, evoking military slaughter on an industrial scale, the battle of Festubert is often overlooked.
Inniskillings Museum, which is devoted to the history of the regiment, has released some startling photographs taken of soldiers in the days before they went into battle.
During the month of May 1915, 392 men from the regiment were killed in battle. Some of them featured in photographs taken just a few days before.
In the months following the battle, reports would appear in the regiment's journal, the Sprig of Shillelagh, documenting the extent of what had happened.
Sgt R Langford wrote: "Many of our wounded were buried by shells in dug-outs where they had been placed for safety."
Wives would search for news of their husbands, while others supplied photographs of where their husbands were known to have died for obituaries.
The battle is also being commemorated on the Scottish isle of Skye, where the town of Portree lost 10 men in a single night.
Many of the men from Skye, Kingussie and Beauly who died at Festubert had played shinty, a fact recalled in some of the events.
Shinty commentator and historian Hugh Dan MacLennan is among those taking part in the commemorations.
He said: "Festubert is our focus because it was one of the first great killing battles, which saw death on an industrial scale.
"Not only that, but its impact on Highland communities is beyond belief."
Writing to Mr Jones, Mr Davies called the comment, made on The Wales Report, a "false assertion", and "misleading".
Mr Davies said he had texted Mr Jones an offer to work with him, and had also made other offers publicly.
A spokesman for the first minister called the letter "ridiculous".
Mr Jones was asked on the BBC Wales television programme on Wednesday why other party leaders had not been invited to help formulate the Labour-Plaid Cymru Brexit plan unveiled on Monday.
Referring to Mr Davies, Mr Jones replied: "At no time has he ever said that he wanted to be part of the process to work out what the journey should be for Wales."
In his letter to Mr Jones, Mr Davies said: "I regret that your inability to reflect the truth in a televised interview has forced me to formally wrote seeking an apology for your actions which have distorted my position.
"In light of your false assertions being made publicly, I would expect your apology, which will assert the truth, to be made equally as publicly."
Mr Davies enclosed a copy of a text message sent to Mr Jones on the day after the referendum, 24 June, where he said: "We have disagreed on the outcome we [were] seeking to achieve.
"But the results are in and Wales has spoken. I am ready if you want to work with [me] to deal with the new landscape.
"However appreciate you may find that difficult politically and personally but the offer is there."
According to a copy of the text message, Mr Jones replied: "Thanks. Let's touch base next week."
In his letter, Mr Davies said he had made subsequent offers publicly, and added: "Your misleading remarks are regrettable."
A spokesman for the first minister said: "In the seven years of Carwyn Jones being first minister, this is the most ridiculous letter we've ever received.
"But, we will of course respond within 17 working days."
Secretary of State Theresa Villiers and First Minister Peter Robinson attended the event at Belfast City Hall.
Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan also attended the Belfast commemoration.
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny laid a wreath in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
More than 200,000 Irish-born soldiers are estimated to have served in the British army and navy from 1914 to 1918.
Thousands of soldiers also left the country and the Irish army to join British forces during World War Two.
Hundreds of people gathered at the cenotaph at Belfast City Hall for a two-minute silence to honour those killed in World Wars One and Two and later conflicts.
The band of the Royal Irish Regiment played during a wreath-laying ceremony.
Ms Villiers said: "I always find Remembrance Sunday profoundly moving as an experience, and it was so today, all the more so, now that we're in this decade of centenaries, with the centenary of the Somme coming up next year which has so much resonance for many people in Northern Ireland."
Ms Villiers said it was important that the Remembrance Sunday service was a shared experience.
"It's a welcome change over recent years that the Irish government has been represented here, because it's undoubtedly true that men from throughout the island of Ireland served incredibly bravely in the armed services over many years," she said.
Mr Flanagan said: "I believe that it's important for all Irish people to reflect on the memory of our loss, and to commemorate it in a way that perhaps we haven't in the past."
In Enniskillen, the Remembrance Sunday commemorations took place 28 years to the day since an IRA bomb at the war memorial killed 11 people.
Mr Kenny became the first Irish prime minister to attend a Remembrance Day service in Northern Ireland when he took part in commemorations at Enniskillen in 2012.

In his latest film Testament Of Youth, it's short and straight. So Kit turned to a wig.
"It was one of those things I was quite concerned about, We knew we couldn't cut my hair because it was close to the filming of Thrones so we wigged it.
"It was done really well by a really good guy and it didn't distract because it can be one of those things that really takes away from a performance if there's a wig that looks wrong."

The Whites won a 15th-minute penalty when Bruno handled, but David Stockdale saved Stefan Johansen's spot-kick.
The hosts dominated the first half and were rewarded after the break as Lucas Piazon curled into the corner.
However, the game turned when Tomer Hemed levelled from the penalty spot after he was fouled, before Lewis Dunk was quickest to a loose ball to score Brighton's winner two minutes later.
The win for the visitors, coupled with Newcastle's surprising loss at Blackburn, sent the Seagulls two points clear at the top after they extended their unbeaten run to 18 league games.
Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic left striker Chris Martin out of his squad, with the forward linked with an early return to parent club Derby County from his season-long loan.
It did not seem to affect the hosts in the opening hour. They forced the early penalty and also had Matt Smith go close in the first half, before Piazon's opener soon after the break.
The Seagulls drew level when Ragnar Sigurdsson brought down Hemed in the box and the Israel striker scored his sixth goal of the season.
And before Fulham had time to gather themselves, Dunk was on hand to head in the rebound after Anthony Knockaert's effort had been saved.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton:
"We probably didn't deserve the win but we showed enough.
"There were periods in the game where Fulham looked very good. It is very difficult when you are playing a team as expansive as these are. You have to make sure you don't allow them opportunities to play.
"We found it difficult but we came away with the best chance in the first half but we needed a goalkeeper who was very good today and sometimes those ingredients win you games."
"The challenge for the players is to stay at the top. We have stressed to the players the second half of the season will be harder because everyone is pushing harder, expectation levels rise and we have to manage that.

The attack on a guesthouse in the Zari district of Balkh province is the latest of several on aid workers in Afghanistan recently.
The charity - People in Need (PIN) - said the victims were "killed in their beds while they were sleeping".
The attack has not yet been claimed by any group or individual.
PIN condemned the attack, saying in a statement published on its website that it was "unprecedented in its brutality".
"Those killed include two drivers, two guards and five project staff, which included a woman," PIN country director Ross Hollister told reporters.
PIN said it had suspended all of its work in Afghanistan and was adopting measures to strengthen the security of its employees in the country.
The charity has been working in Afghanistan since 2002, delivering aid to remote communities in the east and north of the country.
Balkh police chief Abdul Razaq Qaderi told AFP news agency that police had launched a search operation for the gunmen, who are believed to be Taliban militants.
Tuesday's attack comes just weeks after 14 people were killed in a Taliban attack on a guesthouse popular with international aid workers in the capital, Kabul.
They play two Tests against the hosts on 25 and 26 February, before facing Germany on 1, 3 and 4 March in three unofficial practice matches.
There are 11 players who could make their England debuts in the squad.
Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch is unavailable because of commitments with Dutch club SCHC and is replaced by Amy Tennant.
Giselle Ansley, Joie Leigh, Shona McCallin, Lily Owsley, Laura Unsworth, Ellie Watton and Hollie Webb are the players included in the squad who won Olympic gold in Rio last summer.
England, who are ranked second in the world, play world number one side the Netherlands on 11 June at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park followed by the EuroHockey Championships and World League tournaments. The team is building towards the World Cup in London in 2018.
In January, Kerry announced a 33-woman squad to lead England and Great Britain into the next Olympic cycle. Captain Kate Richardson-Walsh has retired since Rio, while a number of other players have chosen to take a break from international hockey.
Kerry said: "We have laid some good early foundations in other parts of the programme and we now start the very first steps in building and experimenting with how we are going to play.
"The matches will see us put out brand new combinations and explore new ways of playing based around the strengths of the new squad."
Full squad: Giselle Ansley, Emily Defroand, Sarah Haycroft, Sabbie Heesh, Jo Hunter, Hannah Martin, Hollie Webb (Surbiton), Grace Balsdon (Canterbury), Susie Gilbert (Reading), Kathryn Lane (Leicester), Joie Leigh (Clifton Robinsons), Shona McCallin, Ellie Watton (Holcombe), Lily Owsley, Livy Paige, Erica Sanders, Anna Toman, (University of Birmingham), Suzy Petty (Wimbledon), Ellie Rayer (Loughborough Students), Zoe Shipperley (Buckingham), Amy Tennant (Grossflottbeker), Laura Unsworth (East Grinstead).
He spoke to the Commons after the BBC revealed the findings of an NHS England report into mental health patients at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust.
He offered a "heartfelt apology" to families affected.
Southern Health said it had made "substantial improvements".
Mr Hunt described the findings of the report - which was commissioned by NHS England and carried out by Mazars, a large audit firm - as "totally unacceptable".
Southern Health is one of the country's largest mental health trusts, covering Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and providing services to about 45,000 people.
The leaked report, which was passed to BBC News, looked at all deaths at the trust between April 2011 and March 2015. During that period, it found 10,306 people had died. Most of these deaths were expected but 1,454 were not.
Of those, 272 were treated as critical incidents, of which just 195 - 13% - were treated by the trust as a serious incident requiring investigation (SIRI).
Mr Hunt told the Commons there was an "urgent need" to improve the investigation and learning from the estimated 200 avoidable deaths that happen every week across the NHS system.
He outlined a three-point plan to try and improve the situation. This included:
Labour's shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander described the findings as "truly shocking revelations".
The report was ordered in 2013, after 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk drowned in a bath following an epileptic seizure while a patient at Southern Health hospital in Oxford.
An independent investigation said his death had been preventable, and an inquest jury found neglect by the trust had contributed to his death.
His mother, Sara Ryan, told BBC News earlier the behaviour of the trust was "barbaric".
"I can't express how shocked we were, we had no idea at the level of disregard and disinterest that Southern Health were demonstrating towards a group of their patients," she said.
"Scrutiny should be put on other trusts across the country to see if this is common practice, you know, it's absolutely barbaric."
Beverley Dawkins, who was an adviser to the report, said its findings were "just the tip of an iceberg".
"Until there is a proper ongoing mortality review we won't understand the scale of the problem," she said.
The report also found that the likelihood of an unexpected death being investigated depended hugely on the type of patient.
The most likely group to get an investigation were adults with mental health problems, where 30% were investigated.
For those with learning disability the figure was 1%, and among over-65s with mental health problems it was just 0.3%.
The average age at death of those with a learning disability was 56 - over seven years younger than the national average.
Even when investigations were carried out, they were of a poor quality and often extremely late, the NHS England report, which is yet to be officially published, said.
Mr Hunt told the Commons the culture change required in the NHS remained "unfinished business" from the Mid Staffs scandal.
"The fundamental question that we all need to reflect on is why is it that we don't currently have the right reporting culture in the NHS when it comes to unexpected deaths," he said.
Health Select Committee chairwoman Sarah Wollaston described the report's findings as "deeply disturbing" and welcomed the measures announced by Mr Hunt, particularly the pledge that it will not be treated as an isolated incident.
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust said it accepted its processes "had not always been up to the high standards our patients, their families and carers deserve".
"However, we have already made substantial improvements in this area over a sustained period of time," a spokesman added.
"These issues are not unique to the trust and we welcome the opportunity to shine a spotlight on this important area.
"Though the trust continues to challenge the draft report's interpretation of the evidence, our focus and priority is on continuing to improve the services we provide for our patients."
The Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) confirmed it had told Tesla to scrap the "misleading" term.
It said the term gave customers "incorrect expectations" that they could stop concentrating on the road and let Autopilot take over completely.
Tesla said it had always told drivers to keep their hands on the wheel.
The Autopilot software helps cars:
However, Tesla has been clear that the feature should only be used on the motorway, and drivers must still pay full attention to the road.
The firm has been under scrutiny after one of its vehicles running Autopilot crashed, killing the owner.
"It can be confirmed that a letter to Tesla exists with the request to no longer use the misleading term Autopilot for the driver-assistance system of the car," a KBA spokeswoman told news agency Reuters.
According to the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, the letter to Tesla said: "We demand that the misleading term Autopilot is no longer used in advertising the system."
In a statement, Tesla said the term autopilot had been used in aviation for decades.
"Tesla's Autopilot operates in conjunction with the human driver to make driving safer and less stressful. This is how the term has been used for decades in aerospace: to denote a support system that operates under the direct supervision of a human pilot," the company said.
"We have always been clear with our customers that Autopilot is a drivers assistance system that requires the driver to pay attention at all times.
"Just as in an airplane, when used properly, Autopilot reduces driver workload and provides an added layer of safety when compared to purely manual driving."
The company's co-founder Elon Musk had been expected to make an announcement related to Tesla on Monday, but he has now tweeted that it has been delayed until Wednesday for "refinement".
Hull Magistrates' Court heard a catalogue of failures resulted in one of the vessels sinking after colliding with a larger transport ship.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency prosecuted David Carlin and Thomas Neilsen after the 19 May incident.
The court heard the men had "shown a blatant disregard for the rules designed to prevent collisions at sea".
The coastguard agency said Mr Carlin left Grimsby Docks in the early hours making his way to Hull in his 15m (50ft) vessel, Peggotty.
More on this and other local stories from across Hull and East Yorkshire
Despite the thick fog, he failed to comply with a number of regulations to keep his and other vessels safe, the court was told.
These included failing to make his vessel's radar operational, failing to make sound signals and failing to ensure all the navigation lights were working.
He had also not prepared an effective plan for the journey and was relying on an untested mobile phone app, the court heard.
At the same time, Mr Neilsen, from Denmark, was on the bridge and in charge of the Petunia Seaway, a 200m (656ft) transport vessel making its way down the Humber towards Grimsby.
The court heard he allowed the vessel to move at speeds of 14 knots (about 16mph) in zero visibility.
He also neglected to properly monitor the ship's radar, and "failed to spot they were bearing down on the other boat".
After the incident, the crew of the smaller boat were rescued before it sank.
Gwen Lancaster, from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, said the collision could "easily have resulted in far worse consequences for those onboard the Peggotty".
"Both vessels were under the command of experienced professional captains who should have known better," he added.

The additional two days' paid leave will be used by officers to engage in sport or community activities.
Other initiatives introduced by newly-appointed Chief Constable Bill Skelly, include a temporary tennis court at the force's headquarters.
Mr Skelly said it was "an investment" in the workforce to try and improve the physical and mental health of officers.
More on this and other Lincolnshire stories
The chief constable said Lincolnshire officers were averaging six days a year in sick leave, costing the force about £1m per year.
Mr Skelly said the idea was to help staff deal with "the stress and anxiety of an increased workloads and reduced [police] numbers".
"This isn't about distracting or diverting from their core duties that the public pay for," he said.
"The whole thrust of the wellbeing agenda is that if people are happier, people are feeling well about themselves and they are healthier and more active, then the job that they are employed to do, to help reduce harm in our communities to protect our public they will be able to do that better."

Arriving at 71-4, Stokes counter-attacked in thrilling fashion, reaching his sixth Test hundred off 122 balls.
He was dropped twice, including the ball before making his century by Shannon Gabriel, who removed Stokes for 100 as the hosts were all out for 258.
Anderson snared Kieran Powell as the tourists closed on 19-1, 239 behind.
Following a dismal showing in the first Test at Edgbaston, West Indies bowled menacingly in the first two sessions, inspired by Kemar Roach (4-71) and returning fellow fast bowler Gabriel (4-51), to edge an engrossing first day.
However, they will rue dropping four catches in total and a ragged spell after tea that helped England - who lead the three-match series 1-0 - recover from yet another fragile top-order display.
England's batting flaws were exposed again but Stokes belied his team-mates' struggles with an enjoyable innings of power and poise.
He had to grind at the start but found fluency by getting onto the front foot to hit thumping cover drives, reaching his half-century with one that whistled to the fence.
The longer his innings went on, the better Stokes looked, deftly punching down the ground and also charging the fast bowlers to clip forcefully through mid-wicket in hitting 17 boundaries in total.
It was far from a chanceless knock - Kraigg Brathwaite's drop was tough but catchable, Gabriel shelled a very simple chance at mid-on with Stokes on 98, while there was also an inside edge that dropped short of wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich.
But in the context of where England were when he came to the crease, this was perhaps Stokes' most important Test century.
In his five previous hundreds, England's lowest score when the Durham man arrived at the crease was 120-4 - this innings underlining how the vice-captain is thriving on increasing responsibility.

Reactions to West Indies' demoralising defeat by an innings and 209 runs at Edgbaston encompassed pity, scorn and frustration.
The problems are far-reaching, but it was heartening to see this side respond with a disciplined bowling display infused with the odd burst of fire from Roach and Gabriel.
The latter proved how much his side missed him in the first Test, regularly bowling up near 90mph as he found the outside edge of Alastair Cook's bat to remove the in-form opener for just 11.
The burly 29-year-old has previously struggled to replicate that pace in subsequent spells but returned to have Jonny Bairstow caught well in the slips by Jason Holder before exchanging words with Stokes after gaining quick revenge for his poor spill.
The bowling was threatening but the fielding was forgiving - Powell dropping a straightforward chance with Joe Root on just eight before the England captain went on to hit a world record equalling half-century in 12 consecutive Tests, later edging Devendra Bishoo to first slip.
Windies captain Holder also let Root and Stokes accumulate after tea with some questionable field settings on an otherwise promising day for his side.

England's problems at two, three and five show no signs of being solved.
Opener Mark Stoneman played watchfully for his 19, only to drive loosely at a pitched-up ball from Roach and inside edge him behind.
Tom Westley looks to have been sussed out in just his fourth Test match - once again his head falling over a full, straight ball that trapped the number three plumb lbw.
And Dawid Malan edged the nagging but gently-paced Holder on to his own stumps - the number five holding a lovely pose entirely at odds with just having played down the wrong line.
The uncertainty over these positions since the last Ashes series has contributed to England having just the sixth best average number of runs at the fall of the third wicket of all Test-playing nations over the past two years.
Australia are top by some distance, adding to the fear England will arrive down under this winter both unsure of their best team and unequipped to defend the Ashes.
That feels a long way away. For now, an under-strength West Indies are proving too much for a trio being forced to adapt to Test match cricket in a rush.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan on Test Match Special: "It's been a nice day to have the ball in hand. Edgbaston was a one-sided contest but today it's been a two-sided contest. Gabriel was magnificent but Roach was the pick - he bowled the perfect length for Headingley.
"Some of Stokes' strokeplay was as good as anything you'll see. He has the knack of hitting the ball where the fielders aren't. Root played nicely and will be disappointed with his dismissal. He didn't need to take any risks against Bishoo."
West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach, speaking to Sky Sports: "We had a big meeting about discipline, we weren't good enough in the first Test and we came out and were much better here.
"It was a pretty tough day, you've got to keep mentally strong. Stokes batted really well - it didn't go our way today with those catches but we will talk about that too.
"I can't really fault the fielders much - we fielded well in the warm-up games but today was not a good day at the office."
England's Ben Stokes, speaking to Sky Sports: "We might be a little disappointed with 258 but we won't know if it's a good score until the end of the West Indies innings.
"I tried to be positive today - they were trying to bowl wide to me so I tried to hit into the leg side to upset their plans.
"I had a brain fade on 98. It was one of those moments, where I thought 'what am I doing?' I was annoyed at myself for getting out too."
At 09:35 BST, the chimps at Twycross Zoo escaped into an area they were not meant to be, leading to safety concerns.
A police spokesperson later said "everything was now in order".
Twycross Zoo, which reopened two hours later, said the animals were encouraged back into their enclosure with ice cream and fizzy drinks.
A zoo spokeswoman said: "At no time were the public at risk, and no people or chimps were harmed during the incident, however it is part of our safety procedures that we close the zoo whilst such events are resolved.
BBC Nature: Chimpanzees
"All of the chimps are fine, if not a little excited about having ice cream for breakfast. They are all on view to the public as normal."
Sharon Redrobe, the zoo's director, told BBC Radio Leicester: "Eight adventurous chimps got into the service corridors, but still within the main building, so it was still reasonably safe.
"They had a fun time running up and down, opening and closing cupboards. It took about an hour to get them into their day place.
"We apologise for closing but it was for a very good reason."
An internal investigation will now take place to discover how the animals escaped.
Leicestershire Police said the problem occurred during the moving of eight chimps and officers were called as a precaution.

In a strong display with contributions from all 13 players, GB started well and improved throughout the first three quarters to establish a winning lead.
Gabe Olaseni led their scorers with 16 points and Dan Clark and Teddy Okereafor added 11 each.
GB will face Greece in Tuesday's final after the hosts beat Romania.
The first match of a summer that will feature a minimum of 12 games - including at least five in the Eurobasket finals - featured some encouraging signs for GB coach Joe Prunty.
They took the first quarter 26-17 with the aid of two three-pointers each from Clark and Ben Mockford, but it was the crispness of their passing and the energy in their defensive hustle that extended the lead to 41-23 in the second period as they held their opponents scoreless for four and half minutes.
Ahead by 19 at the interval, GB kept up the defensive pressure virtually to the end of the game, allowing their opponents just 35 points in the second half.
Prunty was enthused by the display: "There were a lot of positives, and they came from a lot of people," he told BBC Sport..

Rates are property taxes paid by households and businesses and are based on the value of the property.
He said the reforms are part of "the biggest shake up in rating policy in a generation".
But the DUP's Emma Little Pengelly said the proposals have yet to get executive approval.
"These are the minister's views. He has put forward his proposals and there will now be a consultation," she said.
"As chair of the finance committee, we are undertaking a process of taking evidence from a wide range of people impacted by this.
"We will be making up our minds during this process and the proposals will come back to the Northern Ireland Executive."
Households who pay their entire annual rates bill in one chunk currently get a 4% discount as part of what is known as the early-payment discount.
But Mr Ó Muilleoir has proposed phasing this out.
The proposed plan will also mean charity shops, which currently pay no rates, will have to contribute.
The minister pointed to the rest of the UK, where such shops get an 80% discount.
Currently, if a house has a rateable value above £400,000 its rates bill is assessed as though it is valued at £400,000.
The minister is proposing to change the system so that rates are now levied on the portion above £400,000.
That would raise about £4.5m for the executive.
But Mrs Little Pengelly said that the DUP support the capped rate as it stands.
The small business rates relief scheme, which was introduced in the depths of the recession, is to be refocused on retail and hospitality businesses.
A review found that while the current scheme was popular, it had not helped create jobs or economic growth.
The new scheme will provide more support for fewer businesses at a cost of £22m.
A pilot scheme is also proposed for additional rate relief to businesses along the Falls and Newtownards Roads in Belfast.
These "Business Empowerment Zones" will be designed to encouragement investment.
Measures to increase the rates charged on empty commercial properties will raise about £16m.
Currently, an empty property pays no rates for three months and 50% after.
The new proposal is for empty properties to attract a rate of 75%.
Truro councillor Lance Dyer published a tweet saying '"Holocaust hoax" suggesting that six million Jews weren't killed in the genocide.
Mr Dyer's membership of Mebyon Kernow, the Cornish nationalist party, has been suspended pending an investigation.
The party leadership said the views expressed on the website were "wholly repugnant".
The website claims the true number of Jews killed in concentration camps in the World War Two was just 271,000 - but six million is the usual figure cited.
Mr Dyer has now said he had been "very foolish" and that he wished he had taken more care to understand "the full significance of the false claims made on the website".
He said he hoped to "make amends in the coming week" and that he was not a Holocaust denier.
Shortly after posting the tweet he made attempts to justify his reasons for doing so to other Twitter users.
Jeremy Jacobsen, from Kehillat Kernow, Cornwall's Jewish community organisation, said: "It seems absurd to me that anyone should question something which has been so well-documented.
"What was his point in drawing attention to this?"
The Mayor of Truro, Rob Nolan, said Mr Dyer's remarks were "abhorrent in the extreme" and called for a full investigation by Truro City Council.
Mebyon Kernow's party leadership said the investigation into Mr Dyer's actions would begin in the next 48 hours.

PC Rangeley and PC Bridger are due to appear before Hastings magistrates on 26 April.
About 20 firefighters tackled the blaze on Piccadilly, which started at 22:55 BST on Wednesday.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said nearby buildings were evacuated but there were no injuries or arrests.
It comes as figures reveal the number of pavement explosions have increased from 49 in 2013 to 64 so far this year.
In 2011, there were nine pavement explosions, but this more than tripled to 31 in 2012, according to figures obtained by BBC London from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
A spokesman for UK Power Networks said it was carrying out an investigation into "a fire from a cable pit".
Restaurant manager Georgina Pectu, who saw the blaze on Wednesday night, said: "It was very, very scary because we could hear the explosion down there and we were afraid that any moment there could be a big huge explosion."
In February, 50 people were evacuated from Caledonian Road, Islington, north London, after a pavement burst into flames.
In April last year, a pavement exploded on Pimlico Road, in central London, narrowly missing a passer-by standing just yards away.
In 2012, a woman was injured in Shepherd's Bush, west London, when an explosion in a manhole knocked her off her bicycle.
The HSE said it has told the company which delivers electricity through London to do more to protect people.
John Steed, the principal specialist inspector for the HSE, said: "We called UK Power Network directors in and we've had a couple of meetings for them and we made it very clear that it's up to them to manage their assets a lot better and to carry out more inspections.
"As a result of that, they have got a couple of dedicated teams working in London on these link boxes and inspecting them."
The company has to check all 100,000 electrical link boxes under the capital's pavements.
UK Power Networks says it is investing £10m a year for the next eight years and that the safety of Londoners of its top priority.
China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei all have competing claims.
China has backed its expansive claims with island-building and naval patrols. The US says it does not take sides in territorial disputes, but has sent military ships and planes near disputed islands, calling them "freedom of navigation" operations to ensure access to key shipping and air routes.
Both sides have accused each other of "militarising" the South China Sea.
There are fears that the area is becoming a flashpoint, with potentially serious global consequences.
It is a dispute over territory and sovereignty over ocean areas, and the Paracels and the Spratlys - two island chains claimed in whole or in part by a number of countries.
Alongside the fully fledged islands, there are dozens of rocky outcrops, atolls, sandbanks and reefs, such as the Scarborough Shoal.
Although largely uninhabited, the Paracels and the Spratlys may have reserves of natural resources around them. There has been little detailed exploration of the area, so estimates are largely extrapolated from the mineral wealth of neighbouring areas.
The sea is also a major shipping route and home to fishing grounds that supply the livelihoods of people across the region.
China claims by far the largest portion of territory - an area defined by the "nine-dash line" which stretches hundreds of miles south and east from its most southerly province of Hainan.
Beijing says its right to the area goes back centuries to when the Paracel and Spratly island chains were regarded as integral parts of the Chinese nation, and in 1947 it issued a map detailing its claims. It showed the two island groups falling entirely within its territory. Those claims are mirrored by Taiwan.
However, critics say China has not clarified its claims sufficiently - and that the nine-dash line that appears on Chinese maps encompassing almost the entirety of the South China Sea includes no coordinates.
It is also not clear whether China claims only land territory within the nine-dash line, or all the territorial waters within the line as well.
Vietnam hotly disputes China's historical account, saying China had never claimed sovereignty over the islands before the 1940s. Vietnam says it has actively ruled over both the Paracels and the Spratlys since the 17th Century - and has the documents to prove it.
The other major claimant in the area is the Philippines, which invokes its geographical proximity to the Spratly Islands as the main basis of its claim for part of the grouping.
Both the Philippines and China lay claim to the Scarborough Shoal (known as Huangyan Island in China) - a little more than 100 miles (160km) from the Philippines and 500 miles from China.
Malaysia and Brunei also lay claim to territory in the South China Sea that they say falls within their economic exclusion zones, as defined by UNCLOS - the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Brunei does not claim any of the disputed islands, but Malaysia claims a small number of islands in the Spratlys.
The most serious trouble in recent decades has flared between Vietnam and China, and there have also been stand-offs between the Philippines and China. Some of the incidents include:
China prefers bilateral negotiations with the other parties. But many of its neighbours argue that China's relative size and clout give it an unfair advantage.
Some countries have argued that China should negotiate with Asean (the Association of South East Asian Nations), a 10-member regional grouping that consists of Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodia.
However, China is opposed to this, while Asean is also divided over how to resolve the dispute.
The Philippines has sought international arbitration instead. In 2013, it announced it would take China to an arbitration tribunal under the auspices of the UN Convention on the Laws of the Sea, to challenge its claims.
In July 2016, the tribunal backed the Philippines' case, saying China had violated the Philippines' sovereign rights.
China had boycotted the proceedings, and called the ruling "ill-founded". It says it will not be bound by it.
Chris Phillips said shortages meant extremists were not properly monitored, enabling them to recruit others.
A parliamentary report has said jail safety was compromised by staff cuts.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling rejected the claim and said a "very careful watch" was kept on the issue.
"Prison overcrowding is at virtually its lowest level for a decade, and we have increased spending on measures to prevent radicalisation," he said.
"We will never be complacent about the issue."
Mr Grayling said he had found "no evidence" that Mr Phillips' claim was correct, adding that the former detective chief inspector had left the civil service four years ago.
There are more than 12,000 Muslims in jails across England and Wales and the latest official data shows that more than 100 Muslims are in jail for terrorism offences in Great Britain.
The worry particularly concerns converts to Islam, as research from the former chief inspector of prisons, Dame Anne Owers, suggests they are more vulnerable to extremism.
But her report also said suspicion of Muslim prisoners could be both unfair and counter-productive, fuelling resentment and causing even more trouble.
Mr Phillips, who used to lead the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, a police unit that works closely with the government on its counter-terrorism strategy, said: "What we have actually is a prison population that's growing.
"We have less officers generally in prisons than ever before and we also have less police officers to deal with them, so what we have is a growing haystack of extremists where we still have to find the single needle that's going to go off and do something really nasty.
"But of course we've got less people to go and look for them as well so it's a really difficult thing for the police service and prison service to deal with."
Home Secretary Theresa May rejected the claim that staff shortages were hindering efforts to stop Islamic radicalisation in prisons, adding that the government was looking at "and continue to look at" preventative measures.
Mrs May has already said she wants new "extremism officer" roles in prisons to deal with radicalisation.
And the government has said all high-security jails have units who work with the security services to root out extremism. It also said there were faith-based interventions, led by a team of expert imams.
Ex-prisoner John Shelly said: "Over the last few years there's been a real sort of noticeable change of people becoming radicalised and getting themselves involved in violent situations - and being coerced into doing that by some of what you might call the more prominent Muslims that are inside for various offences."
He spent time in more than 40 jails including HMP Whitemoor, a prison with a large Muslim population. Last year, chief inspector of prisons Nick Hardwick said some of its inmates who had been convicted of terrorism offences were trying to influence and pressurise others.
Mr Shelly, who was released from prison a few months ago after serving a 15-year sentence for armed robbery, said prisoners would often "join the extremists" because they were promised protection.
He claims to have seen prisoners plotting acts of terror as well as endorsing groups such as Islamic State and al-Qaeda.
He said: "Extremism - it's grown and grown by the day and they've found themselves in a situation where they can't separate anyone because wherever they separate them to, they're just mixing them with other people who have the same view and same sort of message."
Mr Phillips said: "The answer is to get into the prisons and to make sure the most susceptible people are kept away from those that might turn those into extremists and, at this moment, we cannot even keep drugs out of prison, we can't keep mobile phones out of prison, so clearly there is not enough staff to do that."
Muslim former prisoner Hassan said he had been unfairly discriminated against, however.
"I was inside for 14 years, and a lot of people became Muslim through me," he said. "You're looked at as, 'Oh, a lot of people are becoming Muslim because of this man, he must be recruiting,' and it's far, far from the truth. They think you're a radical or a fundamentalist."
Stephen O'Connell, president of the Prison Governors' Association, told the BBC that the threat from radicalisation in prisons was "real" but he said he was not aware that it had got any worse over the last year because of staffing changes.
"I understand the correlation between staff numbers and prisoner numbers but when it comes to dealing with extremists, we are talking about a small number of prisoners with some very dedicated resources to actually managing those," he said.
The Justice Select Committee recently criticised the government for cutting the number of prison officers by almost 30%, a reduction of 12,530 staff, between 31 March 2010 and 30 June 2014.
The committee's report also said the prisoner-to-staff ratio rose from 3.8 in September 2010 to 4.9 in September 2014.
It claims that this has led to a significant deterioration in safety - with fewer staff to monitor inmates.
And former Lord Chief Justice Lord Woolf recently said that Britain was heading for a crisis within prisons because of overcrowding and staff shortages.
The government denies that.
But the explosive mix of radicalisation, fear over discrimination and staffing pressures could spell even greater trouble inside the country's jails.
The latest prison population statistics from the Ministry of Justice show there were 85,681 people in jail in the week ending 27 March, up from 85,252 in the same period last year.
Kathleen Fegan, who suffered from dementia, was critically injured when the fire broke out in her bathroom at Owenvale Court in 2012.
Br Michael Newman, acting manager at the time, said all steps were taken to protect 81-year-old Mrs Fegan.
However, he said: "I don't think she was able to understand the rules."
The inquest heard that on a number of occasions Mrs Fegan was found to be smoking in areas she was not meant to be, including her bedroom.
The court also heard that Mrs Fegan had burnt her underwear and trousers, and left cigarette butts burning in her bedroom bin.
At the time of Mrs Fegan's death, care at the west Belfast home was provided by St John of God Association and Br Newman was acting manager between 2010 and January 2012.
Under questioning, coroner Patrick McGurgan asked him as to the appropriateness of simply "having a conversation about the dangers of smoking in a bedroom with a woman who had dementia?"
Br Newman replied he believed all steps were taken to protect Mrs Fegan from herself and her smoking.
Pushing the matter further, a solicitor for Mrs Fegan's family questioned whether she fully understood the rules.
Brother Newman replied: "No, I don't think she was able to understand the rules."
The home is now under new ownership.
The inquest continues on Tuesday.
The frontman was left free to head in a Marcus Maddison corner in the 14th minute at the ABAX Stadium to provide the hosts with the perfect start.
And the same supply line was responsible for Posh doubling their lead eight minutes before the break as another Maddison corner was converted by Ryan Tafazolli.
Paul Taylor was denied further Posh goals by a fine Adam Smith save and a terrific Brendan Moloney goal-line block in the early stages of the second half.
But the home side then had to soak up Cobblers pressure before sealing victory with a late breakaway goal involving two substitutes.
Gwion Edwards burst into the box and clipped the ball perfectly into the path of Tom Nichols, who had replaced the injured Coulthirst just before the break, to volley past Smith.
It was Nichols' sixth goal of the season and snapped a 13-game drought while ensuring Posh leapfrogged Northampton in the League One table.

Everyone is fair game. Most often his fellow Germans. The ones who hate foreigners.
And the vehemently nice ones, determined to save the planet and help refugees.
But Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is clearly not amused. In fact many in Germany do not find Boehmermann's controversial obscene poem particularly amusing either.
It is seen even by some of the satirist's fans as puerile and vulgar, with childish references to genitalia as well as sex with goats and sheep.
But the general consensus is that whether you find the poem itself funny or not, the comedian should not be prosecuted for it.
In true Boehmermann fashion, the poem was more complicated than simply a string of obscenities.
It was prefaced with an explanation that the poem was illegal in Germany, in reference to an Erdogan parody on German TV that the Turkish president had taken offence to days before.
The joke presumably was that in Germany you could be fined or even jailed for saying something so childish; and it highlighted Germany's own problematic issues with free speech.
That is why Boehmermann refuses to back down. "What appears to have been overlooked is that the poem was not broadcast on its own, but rather as part of an overall presentation about what is allowed in Germany and what isn't," as his lawyer explained on Thursday.
President Erdogan's German lawyer has urged the satirist to "make a commitment not to recite [the poem] again."
That does not seem likely. Boehmermann has made it clear he will not sign a cease-and-desist declaration.
President Erdogan holds leverage over Angela Merkel at the moment, and he knows it. The German chancellor used to chide the Turkish president over freedom of expression, stressing her opposition to Turkey's EU accession.
Suddenly Turkey is essential to stopping the migration flow to Europe and Mrs Merkel is treading very carefully.
Turks have almost stopped raising eyebrows when a case of "insulting the president" is opened, so often does it happen. Initially, when a former Miss Turkey, the country's most famous cartoonist or a 13-year-old boy were accused of insulting Mr Erdogan, there was shock among the president's opponents.
But now, with almost 2,000 such cases opened, there is little surprise left - even when the target is a German citizen.
Mr Erdogan's critics cry foul, his diehard fans rally. And as long as he has his support base, Turkey's president is secure.

Jan Boehmermann's style is complicated self-parody at its best.
"We are Germans," he sings in one video, renowned for "our world-famous sense of humour".
The song mercilessly highlights how, during the Greek debt crisis, German society was simultaneously terrified of a vengeful Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, and in thrall to his biceps and upturned silk collars.
"Our minister of finance doesn't even have legs" - referring to the wheelchair-using German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble - is not a line most comedians would feel comfortable delivering.
President Erdogan may not get the joke but Mr Varoufakis does.
"He did me a lot of harm as minister of finance, but I have to say I appreciated the quality of his satire," Mr Varoufakis told German TV channel RTL. "I'll be damned if I see someone like him being prosecuted by people who oppose basic democratic liberties."
The legal fight is complicated by the fact that some of the references to Mr Erdogan could be interpreted as discriminatory against Turkish people, Germany's largest minority.
German public prosecutors have now launched a criminal investigation into Boehmermann and some of public broadcaster ZDF's programme directors.
However, an investigation does not mean that a crime has been committed. No one has yet been charged, let alone convicted.
Here's article 103 of Germany's criminal code: Defamation of organs and representatives of foreign states
(1) Whosoever insults a foreign head of state, or, with respect to his position, a member of a foreign government who is in Germany in his official capacity, or a head of a foreign diplomatic mission who is accredited in the Federal territory shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding three years or a fine, in case of a slanderous insult to imprisonment from three months to five years.
Criminal code in full (in English)
This case has now turned into a political problem for Germany's government.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has defended artistic freedom and insists that Article 5 of the constitution protects "freedom of opinion, freedom of science and of course the freedom of art". Given Germany's painful 20th-Century history of oppression and dictatorship, these values are not taken lightly here.
But the chancellor has to decide whether Germany's state prosecutors should start criminal proceedings against the satirist, because article 103 of the criminal code can only be triggered with authorisation from the German government.
Chancellor Merkel uncharacteristically waded into the debate precipitously on Tuesday by saying the poem was "intentionally insulting". Her allies covered her back, saying she was simply expressing a personal opinion about the quality of the poem.
But the damage was already done, particularly because the legal question revolves around whether the poem was meant to be intentionally insulting or not.
The difficulty for the chancellor is that if she allows the prosecution to go ahead she will be criticised for letting President Erdogan limit free speech in Germany.
But if she blocks it, she risks antagonising Mr Erdogan at a time when Europe needs Turkey to help solve the migrant crisis.
The information was not shared because of a fraud investigation, a spokeswoman for Belgium's food safety agency said.
Tests found the chemical fipronil, which can harm people's kidneys, liver and thyroid glands, in Dutch eggs.
Supermarkets in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands have removed potentially contaminated eggs.
"We knew since early June there was potentially a problem with fipronil in the poultry sector," spokeswoman Katrien Stragier told reporters.
"We immediately launched an investigation and we also informed the prosecutor because it was a matter of possible fraud," she added, without giving more details.
German Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt expressed concern about the revelation, and planned to call his Belgian counterpart on Monday.
One German official said up to 10 million of the contaminated eggs may have been sold in Germany.
The Netherlands is Europe's largest exporter of eggs and egg products, and one of the biggest in the world. It exports an estimated 65% of the 10 billion eggs it produces every year.
About 180 poultry farms in the country have been temporarily shut while investigations are held.
Johnson had eight birdies in a score one shot outside the course record, set by Dewi Claire Schreefel in 2012.
The world number 283 leads Florentyna Parker, with India's Aditi Ashok third as she chases a third win in a row.
The event has been shortened to three rounds after the death of caddie Maximilian Zechmann on Wednesday.
Zechmann, 56, was caddying for Anne-Lise Caudal when he collapsed on the 13th fairway during the first round, and later died in hospital.
Play was suspended and the event reduced to 54 holes.
Johnson, 29, won the most recent of her two Ladies' European Tour titles in 2011.
She produced four birdies either side of the turn to move ahead of compatriot Parker, who led after round one but went round in par on Friday.
About 30 people had been living in tents on St Peter's Square, outside the Central Library, since 15 April.
Manchester City Council had been issued a warrant to close the camp, with campaigners losing an appeal.
The demonstrators have now set up another settlement about half a mile away, in St Anne's Square.
Police and bailiffs arrived at about 08:00 BST to break up the St Peter's Square camp.
Some protesters packed up their tents and equipment and left the area peacefully, but others resisted.
Campaigners said they wanted to highlight a crisis in temporary housing and the plight of homeless people.
The council said some demonstrators had been behaving "entirely inappropriately" in a public area.
Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council Bernard Priest said: "While it is entirely legitimate to raise concerns about homelessness, there have been issues with offensive graffiti and other forms of vandalism, fighting, public urination, street drinking, litter and loud music being played.
"The camp has now cost the council and Greater Manchester Police more than £88,000 in additional policing, security and legal costs. In the current climate, this is not an extra cost any public body can shoulder lightly.
"Over the last month, our homelessness service has provided support and advice to more than 20 members of the camp - as they work regularly with other homeless people across the city - and officers were present prior to and during the eviction to provide accommodation to anyone willing to accept it."
Patrick McDonald told officers in Florida that he took out the weapon, despite the firm's firearms ban.
The two got into an altercation when the driver tried to forcibly remove Shane Fabry from the car.
Uber said Mr McDonald, 67, has been suspended and that it would co-operate with police.
Mr Fabry and his fellow passengers told police they were picked up by Mr McDonald on Friday last week as they made their way home.
During the journey, Mr Fabry said he felt ill and asked the driver to pull over in case he was sick but, when Mr McDonald did so, the passenger said he felt fine to continue after all.
Mr McDonald was accused of trying to drag Mr Fabry out of the car by his arm, telling him he must not be sick in a $75,000 (£52,600) vehicle. They said the driver took up an "aggressive fighting stance" and that, after a verbal altercation, he drew a black semi-automatic gun from the driver's side.
In sworn statements, the passengers said the Uber driver pointed the gun at Mr Fabry. While Mr McDonald admitted to police that he drew the weapon, he said he did not point it at his passenger.
According to the police report filed with the Manatee county sheriff's office, he said he had "grabbed it (the gun) because he was in fear for his life".
The report read, that when asked exactly how he was in fear, he said he had heard the passengers making threats.
The 67-year-old driver was released on bail by police in Florida, where the incident took place. He is due to appear in court on Tuesday morning on charges of aggravated assault, with a further appearance on a charge of battery scheduled for 19 February.
Uber spokesman Bill Gibbons told the local paper, the Bradenton Herald, that Mr McDonald's account was deactivated while the firm investigated the incident.
"We stand ready to provide law enforcement with any information that would be helpful to their investigation into this matter," Mr Gibbons said, adding that Mr McDonald started working as an Uber driver in mid-January.
The background checks carried out by Uber, which does not employ its drivers directly, have been criticised in the past, including by a California district attorney and the UK's Licensed Taxi Drivers Association.
It was reported in June last year that Uber changed its firearms policy to ban weapons after one of its drivers shot someone soon after dropping off a passenger in his car. But, later that month, the Washington Times reported that another Uber driver was accused of shooting a passenger who was allegedly choking him, despite the policy.
Roger Chapin of the Florida Taxicab Association said that the latest incident came as the state's lawmakers were considering a bill to "strip away virtually all regulations for Uber".
They are due to vote on the draft law shortly.
"Uber can do their screening but it may not be enough," Mr Chapin said.
"If Uber is the only one with the names of their drivers, how can the public verify they are following the rules?"
The building in Cairo near Tahrir Square was torched in the 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak.
Demolition workers also began tearing down a nearby office block that was once the centre of state bureaucracy.
Egypt's government approved the move in April and said that the land would be given to the neighbouring Egyptian Museum.
Mubarak's National Democratic Party (NDP) was dissolved in April 2011 and its assets, including its headquarters on the River Nile, were seized.
BBC Middle East editor Alan Johnston says that those who rose up against Mubarak will certainly welcome the demolition work.
But he says that many will be deeply disappointed that in other, more important ways, their revolution failed to fulfil their expectations.
Mubarak was sentenced to three years in jail on corruption charges after a retrial earlier this month.
His original conviction was overturned in January over legal procedures.
The ex-leader remains in the Maadi Military Hospital in Cairo where he has been held amid his trials.
His two sons were also given four years in prison in the same case, which centres on the embezzlement of $14m (£9.2m) earmarked for renovation of presidential palaces.
In June, Egypt's highest court is due to decide whether to allow an appeal against a lower court ruling that dropped murder charges against Mubarak.
The UK correspondent of Germany's Die Welt, Thomas Kielinger, believes the impact of Brexit on Britain may not be as negative as many "prophets of doom" on the Remain side fear, and argues that the country's history shows its ability to adapt and "turn the ship around".
"England is not yet lost," he insists, before adding: "You just need to look at the Olympic medal table."
In Spain's El Pais, migration researcher Carmen Gonzalez Enriquez believes the referendum victory of the "xenophobes" will in practice have little effect on immigration to Britain, arguing that non-EU migration will continue, and that Britain needs its EU migrants too much for its economy to give it a strong bargaining position in Brexit negotiations.
"Britain will end up having to settle for the crumbs that the EU offered before the referendum to appease the Eurosceptics," she predicts.
In El Pais's business pages, economist Santiago Carbo warns against jumping to conclusions - either positive or negative - about the economic impact of Brexit, arguing that doing so on the basis of short-term indicators is "absurd and opportunistic".
"Brexit will be the great economic, social and political experiment of the beginning of the 21st century, with implications for almost everyone reading these words," he adds.
But in French news magazine Le Point, economist Patrick Artus is convinced that Brexit will be "to the detriment of the British people".
In the short term, he argues, the weaker pound will make British households "the first victims" of the UK's decision to leave the EU, while after Brexit, a likely loss of some access to the common market will hit investment, growth and employment - and all this amid further fiscal consolidation.
In Czech daily Pravo, commentator Michal Mocek warns his countrymen that Britain is delaying the start of negotiations to extract the maximum benefit for itself - to the disadvantage of the rest of the EU, including the Czech Republic
"Let us count with it that Britain will let nothing stand in its way - mainly not us, Czechs, Slovaks, Poles etc," he concludes. "The more time London gets, the worse it could be."
In Italy's La Stampa, international security expert Stefano Stefanini bemoans the fact that the debate about how to treat the departing British - with Germany and French potentially in opposite corners - will "absorb an EU already exhausted by crises and emergencies", and this at a time of numerous international challenges and threats.
"Why exactly do we have to have Brexit now?" he wonders. "Historians will find this difficult to explain to future generations of Europeans."
Joaquim Gay de Montella - the head of Catalonia's business federation - argues in Spain's La Vanguardia that, while Brexit may have delivered "powerful blow to the heart of the EU", now is the time to create a Europe that is "more united, stronger and fundamentally better prepared" to deal with its problems.
He adds that Spain must actively take part to defend the interests of its business community in Britain, and improve its presence "in the axis of power of influence of the new Europe".

Mr Capriles accused President Nicolas Maduro of inflicting "savage repression" on the Venezuelan people.
"How long can Maduro stand denying Venezuelans the right to vote? I don't think much longer," he added.
Nearly 30 people have been killed in protests this month and the economy is beset by shortages and inflation.
"Nothing that the government is doing is in defence; it's repression, savage repression that violates our constitution and human rights," Mr Capriles told BBC Mundo's Daniel Garcia.
Mr Capriles lost the 2013 presidential election to Mr Maduro.
Earlier this month, he was banned from political office for 15 years over alleged "administrative irregularities" in his role as governor of Miranda state.
He described the ban as unconstitutional.
Mr Capriles denied that the country was divided and said that "no more than 20% of Venezuelans" supported Mr Maduro's socialist government.
"There is no fight between different sectors of the Venezuelan people. That's over in Venezuela. There is no division among Venezuelans," he said.
The current wave of protests began after the Supreme Court took over powers from the opposition-controlled National Assembly on 29 March.
When the court reverted its decision three days later, it was too late to stop the street protests.
"When this is going to stop? I don't see the people giving up fighting for their country," said Mr Capriles.
The opposition is calling for presidential elections scheduled for late 2018 to be brought forward as they blame the socialist president for the political and economic crisis engulfing the oil-rich nation.
"There is no electoral calendar. We're the only country in the Americas where you ask when the elections are and there's no answer," he told the BBC.
He also demanded the release of opposition politicians arrested since Mr Maduro took office four years ago.
"They [the government] are, at this moment, like a kidnapper who's surrounded by police but believes he will be able to kill the hostages, kill the police and escape unharmed.
"They are wrong; they made a miscalculation," said Mr Capriles.
The move comes as the party's Trevor Lunn announced at an event in Belfast that he would now support gay marriage.
The Lagan Valley MLA told the BBC a number of things had changed his mind.
"The vote in the south which is certainly very impressive - a very conservative country," he said.
"I've been certainly heavily lobbied by the various groups and friends - I've lots of gay friends.
"The big rally in Belfast, which I thought was very impressive.
"Overall, I have decided it's time to get a bit progressive, perhaps, and fall into line with this measure."
Welcoming the development, gay and lesbian support group the Rainbow Project said: "Trevor has long been a supporter of the LGBT community in Northern Ireland and has been a strong voice for the rights of LGBT young people in education.
"We are enormously happy that Trevor has now come out in favour of equal marriage."
On Saturday, Alliance Leader David Ford said he was delighted to see party members come out in force to support this year's Belfast Pride.
Mr Ford was joined by a number of Alliance elected representatives during the parade.
The fire started shortly after 22:30 GMT on Saturday in the kitchen of a semi-detached property in Britford Close, Kings Heath.
The woman was found in the building by firefighters and was treated by paramedics at the scene.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said "nothing could be done to save the woman and she was confirmed dead at the scene".
West Midlands Fire Service said investigators were trying to establish how it started.
About 62% of homes across Scotland are "unhealthily cold", new estimates have suggested.
A coalition of groups is asking for a commitment to make all homes energy category C standard by 2025.
About 1,482,000 homes in Scotland are rated below C, which is the minimum level of warmth needed to reduce the risk of death and ill health.
More than 50 major civil society and business organisations have signed a joint-statement calling for the next Scottish government to make a commitment that "No one in Scotland is living in a hard-to-heat, draughty home, by 2025."
Alan Ferguson, chairman of the Existing Homes Alliance said: "These figures show that if the next Scottish Government set an objective to bring all homes in Scotland to at least a 'C' energy performance standard by 2025, they could end the scourge of cold homes currently affecting thousands of households across Scotland."
The figures were compiled using recent data from the register of Energy Performance Certificates, known as EPCs.
The coldest homes are in Highlands and Islands, where 76% of people live in a property that falls below category C for energy performance.
Dr Sam Gardner, head of policy at WWF Scotland, said: "Heating Scotland's buildings accounts for over half of our climate change emissions.
"Ensuring every home reaches a C Energy performance standard by 2025 is the minimum level of ambition required to allow our climate change targets to be met.
"A political commitment that no-one should live in a hard-to-heat, draughty home would be good for millions of households, and would drastically reduce emissions too."
The figures also show that the households in the lowest energy efficiency bands are also more likely to be living in fuel poverty.
Only three constituencies in Scotland had more more than half of households living in a home of an "acceptable" energy efficiency rating.
These are Glasgow Shettleston, Edinburgh Northern and Leith, and Glasgow Anniesland.
Crispin Blunt, the MP for Reigate near Gatwick, said the delay until next summer was "disgraceful vacillation" and an act of "political cowardice".
Mr Goldsmith denied "holding a gun" to David Cameron's head by promising to quit if Heathrow gets a new runway.
But the London mayoral candidate did speak to the PM before the decision.
The current London mayor Boris Johnson, who like Mr Goldsmith is against a third runway at Heathrow, said the government's claim the delay was needed to produce a new environmental plan was "a load of cobblers".
The Tory cabinet minister told BBC Radio 5 Live there was "an element of political fudgerama" to the decision, adding that a new Heathrow runway would be "an environmental catastrophe" and "it was getting clearer to people in government that this is undeliverable".
The government has delayed a decision over increasing airport capacity in the south of England, and the location of any new runway, until the second half of next year at the earliest.
Ministers say the delay is to allow further environmental tests to be done on the three main options under consideration - a new runway at Heathrow, a new runway at Gatwick and extending one of Heathrow's existing runways.
But critics say it is largely a political decision to avoid embarrassment to Mr Goldsmith and his party in the run-up to May's mayoral election.
Mr Goldsmith has promised to quit as MP for Richmond Park if the government approves a new runway, saying he will not go back on a commitment he made to his constituents before he was first elected to Parliament in 2010.
The MP told the BBC that "promises matter" in politics and that the government had made a "pragmatic" decision to take a new runway at Heathrow "off the menu" claiming it could never comply with air quality and noise pollution standards.
Mr Goldsmith revealed that he had had a meeting with the prime minister in the run-up to Thursday's decision but insisted that it was a "one-way conversation" and he "did not have any kind of tip-off".
"I took the opportunity, as you would expect me to do, to put my position very much on the agenda at the end of a much broader-ranging conversation," he told Daily Politics. "The prime minister did not respond to me in relation to Heathrow."
Mr Goldsmith described media reports that had given the PM an ultimatum as a "red herring" and while he said he may have mentioned his promise to stand down during the meeting, he insisted the commitment was not a new one and was never made in the "context of the mayoral campaign".
"My job as an MP and a mayoral candidate is to use every opportunity I have to talk to these people," he added.
"If through what I have done, I have managed to influence the debate, along with thousands of other residents, councillors, and other people, then so be it. I am not going to apologise for that. That's my job."
But Mr Blunt, who is opposed to the expansion of Gatwick, attacked the government's "prevarication" and said there could be no justification for further delaying a decision after the independent Davies commission named a new runway at Heathrow as its preferred option.
"We were promised a decision by the end of the year," he said. "Recently we were promised a direction. What we have is neither decision, nor direction, but political cowardice, weakness and prevarication.
"People will see through this pathetic effort to avoid criticism in the run-up to the London mayoral election. Zac Goldsmith should not be allowed to exercise a veto over the national interest."
The Tories face a tough battle to hold onto City Hall next May, with their main opponent, Labour's Sadiq Khan, opposed to Heathrow expansion.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said any suggestion that a decision over Heathrow expansion had been put on the back burner to give Mr Goldsmith a better chance of succeeding Boris Johnson was "cynical".
"I believe that by the summer of next year we will be in a position to have done the extra work," he told Radio 4's Today programme. "The summer of next year would still allow us to get the extra capacity we need by 2030."
President Donald Trump was in the building at the time.
The intruder was arrested on the south grounds without incident and no hazardous materials were found in the backpack, the Secret Service said.
Mr Trump and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly were briefed on the incident.
Court documents identified the suspect as California resident Jonathan Tran, 26.
Speaking to reporters about the incident, Mr Trump praised the Secret Service for doing a "fantastic job" and called the intruder a "troubled person".
The Secret Service said agents searched the grounds and found "nothing of concern to security operations".
Intruders have broken into the grounds of the White House before by scaling the perimeter fence. They are usually handed over to local police.
In 2014, 42-year-old Omar Gonzales made it through the north portico doors into the building, armed with a three-and-a-half-inch (9cm) folding knife.
He was arrested just after making it inside the doors, the Secret Service said at the time.
David Cameron promised "an all-out assault on poverty" in his leader's speech. The prime minister also launched an attack on Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, accusing him of having a "Britain-hating ideology".
George Osborne said the Conservatives are "the true party of labour", and called on the party to "extend our hand" to people who feel "completely abandoned" by Labour's new leadership.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told a fringe meeting the government was right to press ahead with cuts to tax credits because the UK must become as hard working as China. David Cameron said Mr Hunt's comments had been "rather unfairly misinterpreted"

Some 590,000 voters were registered to cast ballots for a 50-seat parliament, choosing from about 250 candidates.
The party of Mr Bainimarama, who quit as military chief to contest the polls, is expected to win the most seats.
The polls are being keenly watched by the international community, which has been urging a return to democracy.
After voting ended, election supervisor Mohammed Saneem said the day had gone smoothly.
"We haven't received any reports of any altercations in any of our polling stations and, as such, we can say, from the current information available, that there was no violence," he told reporters.
The Fijian Elections Office said counting of the votes had begun.
Earlier on Wednesday, long queues formed at polling stations with reports of voters dressed in their Sunday best eager to cast their ballots.
Will poll bring democracy?
"This is a historic election," Suva taxi driver Anil Kumar told the Associated Press news agency. "I'm excited that I will be able to cast my vote. I'm looking forward to it."
Fiji experienced four coups between 1987 and 2006.
Mr Bainimarama has ruled Fiji since ousting elected leader Laisenia Qarase in the most recent of them.
Mr Bainimarama says he wants to end tensions between indigenous Fijians and ethnic Indians at the heart of the political unrest.
To that end he has reformed the electoral process, ending the race-based communal voting system.
But in the past eight years he has also ruled with an iron grip, clamping down on free speech, compromising the judiciary and imposing media censorship.
In a recent report, rights group Amnesty International accused him of creating a "climate of fear" in Fiji through his use of draconian laws, and intimidation and harassment of government critics.
Critics also suggest that Mr Bainimarama, whose FijiFirst party is one of seven contesting the polls, has enjoyed a campaigning advantage because of the lack of any formal political opposition.
The Social Democratic Liberal Party (Sodelpa), led by indigenous Fijians, is seen as FijiFirst's closest rival.
Asked if he would accept the election result, even if he lost, Mr Bainimarama said: "I'm not going to lose, I will win, so you ask that question to the other parties."
Official results are not expected for several days but a preliminary count could come in the early hours of Thursday.
The dig, in part of the Roman Baths complex, was partly excavated in the 1960s but then sealed up and left.
Archaeologists will investigate the masonry and also examine the materials used to backfill the baths.
The site will eventually become part of an exhibition at the new Archway Centre which is expected to open in 2019.
Archaeologist Simon Cox said it is a "really rare opportunity" to examine the world heritage site.
"We don't get to do that sort of stuff everyday, a lot of what we do look at is fairly mundane...to come down and work in the heart of one of the most significant Roman bathing complexes is remarkable and exciting," he said.
One of the baths will be given a protective lining and filled with earth so it can be used as a digging pit for school groups, where children can uncover a variety of replica Roman objects.
Councillor Patrick Anketell-Jones said it was a milestone in the development of the Archway Centre and will provide "access to Roman remains that have never before been on display."
It was a win for youth democracy with a reported surge in 18 to 24-year-olds at the polls eager to get their voices heard.

Elsi, 19, a midwifery student from Headingley said her vote was "strategic".
"I'm an NHS student so that was a factor. Labour is very supportive of funding the NHS and supporting that. It wasn't just for my career but it was for helping other people too," she said.
Rashelle Thomas-Jarrett, 23, a healthcare student also from Headingley, said: "I thought if I did vote Labour there was more of a chance of getting Theresa May out."
Meanwhile, some students at Keele University in Staffordshire in say they were unable to vote after being told their "names were not on the list" at polling stations.
In the West Midlands, Sandwell councillor Preet Gill became the first ever female Sikh MP, holding Birmingham Edgbaston for Labour. She takes over from Gisela Stuart, who stood down after 20 years.
In Sheffield Hallam, former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg was one of the highest-profile figures in England lose his seat, with Labour's Jared O Mara winning by more than 2,000 votes.
But fellow Liberal Democrat Sir Vince Cable regained the Twickenham seat he had lost to the Conservatives in 2015.
Paul Nuttall, UKIP's leader, failed in his bid to win Boston and Skegness and subsequently stood down as head of the party.
First-time candidate Mike Hill was reduced to tears as he hugged wife Glynis as it became clear he had held the Hartlepool seat for Labour, the Hartlepool Mail reported.
"It's an emotional experience. It's being proud of an achievement and proud that people have had faith in a fresh face," he told the paper.
The election brought out the best in English eccentricity with a candidate dressed as a giant fish finger, tongue sandwiches at the count and cat fights over Downing Street.
A 26-year-old city councillor gained a seat in Stoke-on-Trent South for the Conservatives for the first time in more than 80 years. Jack Brereton unseated Labour's Rob Flello with a majority of 663.
In was a close call for some seats with the Tories taking Richmond Park by just 45 votes. Zac Goldsmith was back in seven months after losing the seat in a by-election.
In Dudley North, Labour's Ian Austin held on by a slender 22 votes while in Southampton Itchen, Conservative Royston Smith has a majority of 31.
UKIP received less than two per cent of the vote nationally and was reduced to third place in Clacton, the one seat it won in 2015.
The party had chosen not to field candidates in 247 constituencies where it stood in 2015, 197 of them in England.
The survey of almost 2,000 people in the UK found 73% were sceptical about the motivation of politicians.
One in four also said they were dissatisfied with the way the NHS was being run.
The survey was commissioned by the British Medical Association (BMA).
The poll carried out by Ipsos Mori also found two-thirds wanted the NHS to manage itself without the involvement of politicians.
Another 46% also said politicians should have low or no involvement in how the NHS is run.
That was one of the aims of the reforms introduced by Andrew Lansley when he was health secretary.
But commentators have noted that since Jeremy Hunt has replaced him there has been a push to retain a much more hands-on approach.
The poll was released at the start of the BMA's annual conference, which is being held in Harrogate.
BMA leader Dr Mark Porter said: "The government promised to remove micromanagement from the NHS and yet the opposite has happened.
"There are even claims that NHS England, set up to be independent of Whitehall, is being manipulated for political purposes."
He also mentioned a key policy put forward by Labour - the pledge to offer GP appointments within 48 hours - adding: "Patient care is taking a back seat to scoring points over the dispatch box."
Dr Porter said "doctors want to see politics taken out of the NHS once and for all", saying it was "clear that the public feel the same way".
He went on to accuse the government of wasting money on "untested policies" and promised doctors would continue to "fight" for what was right for the NHS in the lead up to the election.
Both the government and Labour party defended their approaches.
Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter said: "Our reforms cut unnecessary red tape and gave doctors and nurses, who know their patients best, the power and freedom to make decisions in the best interests of their local community."
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Labour said access to GPs was a real problem and its plans, which include additional funding, were a "serious" attempt to improve services.
Doctors at the conference also raised concerns about the push to create seven-day hospital services in England.
The move - set out by NHS England last year - involves improving access to a whole range of urgent and emergency services on a Saturday and Sunday over the next three years with the idea that more routine services, such as non-emergency operations, could follow afterwards.
A motion passed at the conference said extra resources and payments for anti-social hours would be needed.
Anaesthetist Dr Robert Harwood, of the BMA's consultants committee, said: "We have real reservations what whether it can be afforded within the current budget."
Bruce Hughes, a member of the BMA's GP committee, attacked the idea of a "24 hours a day seven day a week utopia which is just for the sake of a political gimmick". He accused politicians of policy by soundbite, saying the plan was "a pathetic attempt to get re-elected in 12 months".
He said: "You don't expect routine appointments with your lawyer or accountant on Sunday evening."
The Brussels-based International Crisis Group says the language is "chillingly similar" to that used in Rwanda before the genocide of 1994.
President Pierre Nkurunziza has issued an ultimatum for gunmen to lay down their weapons this weekend.
The violence began in April when the president said he would stand again.
He argued that his first term as president did not count towards the constitutional two-term limit as he was chosen by MPs.
Mr Nkurunziza was duly re-elected to a third term with 70% of the vote in July.
This weekend's weapons ultimatum has led to a spike in killings.
In a statement, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the discovery of bodies in the Burundian capital, Bujumbura, was now a regular occurrence - and many victims showed evidence of summary execution.
Mr Ban said Burundian authorities had a responsibility to protect civilians.
France has called for an urgent UN Security Council meeting to discuss the crisis.
The International Crisis Group and others were commenting on remarks by Burundi's Senate President Reverien Ndikuriyo - who threatened to "pulverise" opponents who did not lay down arms.
Thomas Perriello, the US special envoy for the Great Lakes region, told the BBC it was not too late for Burundi to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict:
"There is still time for [peace talks], though obviously the language of ultimatums, the language of 'last calls', senior government officials talking about 'exterminating and pulverising' enemies - this is the worst kind of rhetoric to try to de-escalate the situation."
Uganda is leading regional efforts to broker peace talks.
Joachim Iroko, a market trader also known as Joe Fortemose Chinakwe, was arrested in 2016 accused of conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace.
A judge in south-west Ogun state found the prosecution had failed to substantiate the charges against him.
The arrest sparked nationwide outrage. Critics accused the police of stifling constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
At the time, presidential spokesman Garba Shehu said that Mr Buhari must be having a good laugh about the story and that anyone linking him to the dog incident was displaying their ignorance.
Speaking to Nigeria's daily Vanguard newspaper after the ruling, Mr Iroko said he had been vindicated and thanked all those who had spoken out on his behalf.
Mr Iroko's lawyer said the prosecution had repeatedly failed to present witnesses and that the complainant was also absent.
The man who lodged the complaint in August 2016 was reported to be a neighbour.
Mr Iroko walked his pet - with the name Buhari painted on both flanks - in an area where support for the president was high, police said at the time.
Officers said they were worried the move could antagonise people, though he insisted it was meant as a compliment and that people had misunderstood him. Mr Iroko said he named his dogs after his role models, and that others had been called Nelson Mandela and Obama.
"I named my beloved pet dog Buhari, who is my hero....My admiration for Buhari started far back when he was a military head of state."
He later told local media he had received death threats over the perceived slight.

The 5-2 favourite, ridden by Ryan Moore, beat Wings Of Eagles, with The Anvil a nose further back in third.
O'Brien said all three could run in next month's Epsom Derby, for which Venice Beach is rated fifth favourite.
"I thought it was a very good performance. We are still learning an awful lot about him," said Moore.
On Sunday, Winter won the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket to give O'Brien a third double in the Guineas - following Saturday's victory with Churchill.
The trainer also won both Classics in 2005 and 2012.
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
Venice Beach, another son of super stallion Galileo, won this like a useful performer - though it was his third run of the year - and the eye-catcher was perhaps Wings Of Eagles, racing for the first time in 2017, who was, as they say, doing his best work towards the end of the race.

Clucas, 26, has signed for four years for an undisclosed fee after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.
The Swans had an earlier £12m bid for Clucas rejected.
He arrived as Swansea sought a replacement for Gylfi Sigurdsson after the Iceland midfielder's £45m move to Everton.
The new arrival could make his Swans debut when they seek a first win of the season at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
While Swansea survived in the Premier League last season, Clucas shone even as Hull were relegated.
Kingsley, 23, has signed a three-year deal with Hull, also for an undisclosed fee.
Before the deal was confirmed, Swansea manager Paul Clement underlined the player's versatility - he can play in defence, midfield, on the wing and was a striker while at Leicester's academy.
From there he went to the Glenn Hoddle Academy before rising to the top flight via Hereford, Mansfield and Chesterfield before joining Hull in 2015.
"He has experience of playing at Premier League level, he has a lot of experience of playing in British football," said Clement.
"And I also like the story, I like his background. He's had to fight to where he's got to through the route he's come in the lower levels.
"He was at the Glenn Hoddle Academy, he became a very strong and established player at Hull and I think he's going to be a really good addition to us."

London City airport diverted all inbound flights on Saturday while Heathrow and Gatwick have also reported disruption.
Passengers have been told to expect delays and to contact their airline before travelling to the airport.
There will be further disruption for travellers over Christmas because of industrial action over pay disputes.
The poor visibility in south-east England caused at least a dozen British Airways flights to be cancelled.
"In common with other airlines, we are experiencing some disruption to our flights," a BA spokesperson said.
BA warned that there would be knock-on delays due to disruption at Heathrow. It said to expect delays and a "small number" of cancellations, as the airport has restricted landing and take-off.
On Friday, BA cabin crew based at Heathrow said they would strike on Christmas Day and Boxing Day in a row over pay and conditions.

London City airport told passengers that "significant fog in London is continuing to cause flight delays" and that it was closing from around midday on Saturday until Sunday.
The Met Office said to expect cloudy weather throughout Saturday evening in London, with areas of mist and fog becoming widespread.
Sunday will "start on a grey and murky note with patchy fog persisting", a statement added.
Other parts of the country also experienced reduced visibility on Saturday.
The disruption to flights comes days before a planned 48-hour strike at UK airports called by the Unite union over pay and conditions.
More than 1,500 check-in staff, baggage handlers and cargo crew employed by Swissport will walk out on 23 December.
It is unclear exactly how many airports will be affected, but airlines at Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Leeds/Bradford, Liverpool, Newcastle, Heathrow, Stansted and Manchester airports all employ Swissport staff.
Swissport said it had made numerous offers to Unite since April 2015 to resolve the dispute. It said the planned strike was "another in a series of recent examples where a minority of trade union members are acting in a cynical fashion".
The company said it would do "everything within its power to limit any impact of the proposed industrial action on the airlines it serves and their passengers".
Virgin Atlantic pilots have voted to work to rule from 23 December in a row over union recognition.
Deutsche Welle reported that suspected members of Reichsbuerger group were allegedly planning attacks on police officers, asylum-seekers and Jews.
About 200 officers were involved in the operation.
The federal prosecutor's office said the raids targeted six people accused of founding the group.
A seventh person is suspected of helping obtain supplies for them, including arms and ammunition.
The 12 raids took place in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Berlin, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony-Anhalt.
No details of any arrests have been released.
A statement from the prosecutor's office said: "The goal of today's search measures was to obtain further evidence of the actual creation of a formal group, as well as the alleged planned criminal acts and any potential tools."
The suspects were largely connected via social media, said Deutsche Welle, and were believed to have begun planning armed attacks in spring 2016.
However, the news website said investigators had not found "concrete" evidence pointing to a terror attack.
The Reichsbuerger ("Reich Citizens") group does not recognise the authority of the post-war German federal republic.
It believes in the continued existence of a German empire, or Reich, dating back to 1937 or even earlier.
Bavarian officials said the group's ideology was "nationalist and anti-Semitic... clearly extreme right".
The party's assembly election manifesto pledges to find £200m of annual savings within 100 days of taking power.
The proceeds would largely fund policies such as cutting hospital waiting times and providing free social care for the elderly, Plaid Cymru said.
Leader Leanne Wood said Plaid had the "ideas and drive to build our nation".
By Spring 2017 Plaid would aim to raise annual savings to £300m, with the NHS saving a further £300m in efficiencies, and a new tuition fee policy £250m.
Students from Wales currently only pay £3,810 towards their tuition fees wherever they study in the UK with the rest, up to £5,190 a year, paid for by the Welsh government.
Under Plaid's plans, Welsh students working in Wales after graduation would receive £6,000 a year after graduating, up to a maximum of £18,000.
A cap on redundancy payments in the public sector would also save £40m, the party said.
Details: What is in Plaid's manifesto?
The party said NHS efficiency savings would be ploughed back into the health budget. It also said the overall annual health budget would be £925m higher by 2020-21 than in 2015-16.
Plaid Cymru's plans for government include integrating much of health and social care, with local councils put in charge of community services, such as GPs' surgeries, district nurses and mental health.
An extra 1,000 doctors and 5,000 nurses would be recruited, to help drive down waiting times.
In schools, there would also be a 10% pay boost for teachers who gain extra skills.
Severn crossing tolls would be abolished for people living in Wales, if the powers are devolved from Westminster, the party said.
"We recognise Wales as a political nation in its own right," Ms Wood said.
"Which is why our country should have the tools to act like a nation, to innovate, to create jobs and to deliver world class-class public services."
She said there was a chance to build a "new kind of society" in Wales that "promotes equality, creates wealth, shares wealth and broadens life chances".
The manifesto states an independent Wales "remains our long-term aspiration as a party" but there are no plans to hold a referendum on the issue "in the near term".
Plaid said its government programme had been independently checked, for the first time, by academics at Cardiff Metropolitan University.
Prof Brian Morgan and Prof Gerry Holtham said the "overall income projections and the estimated costings" seemed to be "reasonable".
But they warned the "greatest uncertainty" concerned the efficiency savings.
"It is certainly the case raising these sums from efficiency gains is not going to be easy or painless," they said.
Plaid's 194-page document was the first party manifesto to be published during this assembly election campaign.
Plaid Cymru is trying to bring an element of freshness to the Welsh Government, partly by getting rid of old programmes and also by making efficiency savings to fund new ones.
So by spring 2017 the party says it will have found £1bn in savings to spend on its priorities - £300m will come from asking the NHS to work more efficiently.
But in a period when the Welsh Government budget has been feeling the pinch, it won't be easy.
Many of the policies have been announced before, including changing the tuition fee system so students will build up debt in future but can claim back up to £18,000 if they work in Wales after graduation.
After 17 years of Labour government Plaid says it is the change Wales needs.
To achieve that goal it will have to transform the electoral landscape, after a difficult few years since Leanne Wood took over as leader.

Team-mates Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan and Andy King, and manager Claudio Ranieri, have all signed new deals this summer.
Drinkwater said: "I couldn't be happier. I've loved playing for this club, it's been perfect for me and my career and I want to be here for a long time to come.
"We've been through so much together and I'm sure there's a lot more to come."
Ranieri added: "Since I joined, Danny has been one of our most consistent players. He's a fantastic player and a fantastic man.
"He's an important player for us and a very popular player in the dressing room. I want him to stay with us for a very long time."
Drinkwater, who joined Leicester in 2012 from Manchester United, won three England caps last season, but failed to make the final squad for Euro 2016.
He played in 35 of Leicester's 38 league games last season and formed an impressive midfield partnership with N'Golo Kante, who joined Chelsea in July.

Mr Litvinenko died from radiation poisoning in a London hospital in November 2006, nearly three weeks after drinking tea laced with the substance.
Two Russians, Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun, have denied any involvement.
The 43-year-old may also have been poisoned in October that year, counsel to the inquiry Robin Tam QC said.
Mr Litvinenko had fled to the UK where he became a vocal critic of the Kremlin and worked for the UK intelligence service MI6.
He had recalled feeling unwell around the time of a meeting at a security company in mid-October and "vomiting on one occasion about two or three weeks before being hospitalised," Mr Tam said.
"Hair samples that are available indicate that Mr Litvinenko may well have been poisoned twice and that the first occasion being much less severe than the second."
BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera earlier said investigators had followed a radioactive trail across London.
It suggested Mr Litvinenko was poisoned not on the first attempt, but on the third, he said.
The two men suspected of killing Alexander Litvinenko made three trips to London in the run up to his death and brought Polonium to try to kill him each time, the BBC understands.
The judge-led inquiry was officially opened by presiding judge Sir Robert Owen at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Sir Robert said Mr Litvinenko's death from radiation poisoning in London in 2006 had attracted "worldwide interest and concern".
Mr Litvinenko's widow Marina says he blamed the Kremlin as he lay dying in hospital, but Russia denies any involvement.
Her lawyer has described his murder as "an act of state-sponsored nuclear terrorism on the streets of London".
Mr Litvinenko was poisoned with radioactive polonium-210, following a meeting with two Russians at the Millennium Hotel in central London.
The pair, Dmitry Kovtun and former KGB bodyguard Andrei Lugovoi - whom the UK police have identified as suspects in the case - have been invited to give evidence via videolink from Russia, Sir Robert said.
Mr Lugovoi told Russian television station LifeNews TV on Tuesday that there could be no fair trial in Britain.
"They classified the materials, saying Litvinenko co-operated with English intelligence. How can it be investigated impartially after that?" he said.
"This is why we pulled out in protest - we want it to be investigated but we want it to be impartial and, moreover, we want it investigated in Russia."
Sir Robert said sensitive evidence had established there was a "prima facie case" as to the culpability of the Russian state in Mr Litvinenko's death.
The judge said the use of polonium could have killed large numbers of people "or spread general panic and hysteria among the public".
"The issues to which his death gives rise are of the utmost gravity and have attracted worldwide interest and concern," he said.
Sir Robert was originally appointed as the coroner at Mr Litvinenko's inquest but he called for a public inquiry because the inquest could not consider sensitive evidence due to national security fears.
The UK government resisted the move at first but later changed its stance last July, amid worsening relations with Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine.
BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera: Will inquiry find answers?
Robin Tam QC said many theories had been put forward about what happened to Mr Litvinenko, including suggestions that he had committed suicide, or accidentally poisoned himself when handling the radioactive substance as part of a smuggling deal.
"As we shall hear over the coming weeks, for some of these theories there is considerable supporting evidence, for others less, and for yet others none at all," he said.
Mr Tam said Mr Litvinenko and his family had fled Russia and their journey to the UK "would not disgrace the pages of a thriller".
They arrived in the UK in November 2000 and claimed asylum. Mr Litvinenko and his family were granted British citizenship just weeks before he died.
Mr Tam listed numerous issues which would have to be considered by the inquiry, such as Mr Litvinenko's relationship with the late Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky and his links to journalist Anna Politkovskaya, a fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin who was killed in 2006.
The inquiry heard other considerations included Mr Litvinenko's criticism of President Putin's regime.
"Could the Kremlin have regarded him as an irritant or worse?" asked Mr Tam.
The QC said evidence would be heard - both in the open and closed sessions - that Mr Litvinenko had been working for MI6 - a claim which the government refuses to confirm or deny.
He asked: "If Mr Litvinenko was working for MI6, could this have become known in Russia and might this have provided a motive to anyone in Russia whether in authority or otherwise for wishing Mr Litvinenko dead?"
The inquiry heard one of the suspects, Mr Lugovoi, had alleged that the UK intelligence services were involved in Mr Litvinenko's death.
It will also hear evidence that Mr Litvinenko could have been assisting the Spanish security services with investigations into organised crime, as well as taking on private security work for Western businesses.
Internal documents also reveal that many of the officers who will receive the increase were already receiving allowances of £4,000.
The details were not included when the pay rise was announced by Justice Secretary Liz Truss.
Officials deny they have given out any inaccurate or misleading information.
When the announcement of the new allowances was made, the Ministry of Justice said it would apply to "Band 3" front-line prison officers in 31 jails where it had been hard to recruit and retain staff.
The jails are in London and south-east England, and include Bedford, Belmarsh, Brixton, Chelmsford, Feltham, Pentonville, Wandsworth, Whitemoor and Wormwood Scrubs.
The Prison Officers Association said at the time that although it welcomed any additional pay for its members, it was a "divisive" decision because it "ignored" many other grades of staff.
The department said "thousands" would get an "immediate" pay boost.
But an internal briefing note seen by the BBC reveals that the number benefiting immediately is 1,617 prison officers out of more than 30,742 staff working in public-sector prisons - 5.26% of the workforce.
The document also reveals that the new allowances, worth £3,000 in some jails and £5,000 in others, replace existing payments of £2,500 and £4,000.
When the rises were announced, the Ministry of Justice did not disclose how much the current payments were worth, saying only that the new allowances replaced "existing pay increments".
Its decision to leave out important details may have led to the impression that the pay increase was more widespread and substantial than it really was.
In March, Ms Truss's department was heavily criticised by Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, for its handling of an announcement to extend a programme to allow vulnerable witnesses to be cross-examined before a trial.
Lord Thomas said there had been a "complete failure" by the ministry to understand the practical difficulties of extending the scheme, saying judges had to correct a "serious misapprehension" about the roll-out.
The Ministry of Justice has not issued an official statement in response to the latest disclosures, but officials said its February press release did not contain anything that was factually incorrect or misleading, and pointed out that staff joining the 31 prisons would also be entitled to the payments.
The document said about 2,400 new prison officers, who are expected to join the selected jails during 2017-18, would be eligible to receive the allowances which will be available annually at least until March 2021.
As part of other changes, Band 3 prison officers at the jails will be paid from the "midpoint" of their pay range.
It means they can expect to earn between £26,456 to £31,453, including the allowances, as a "minimum".
Cafwyd hyd i Matthew Williams, 34, yn ymosod ar Cerys Yemm, 22, yng ngwesty'r Sirhowy Arms yn Argoed, Sir Caerffili ar 6 Tachwedd 2014.
Cafodd Mr Williams ei saethu gyda gwn Taser gan swyddogion ddaeth i'w arestio, a bu farw'n ddiweddarach.
Dywedodd Mandy Miles, perchennog y Sirhowy Arms, wrth y gwrandawiad fod "gwaed ym mhobman" a bod yr olygfa "fel rhywbeth o ffilm arswyd".
Ar y pryd, dywedodd Ms Miles mewn galwad 999 ei bod yn credu fod Williams yn bwyta Miss Yemm, ond dywedodd wrth y cwest ei bod hi'n gwybod bellach nad oedd hynny'n wir.
Dywedodd: "Roedd ei ben i lawr wrth ei phen hi. Wnaeth e ddim ymateb i'n llais i. Dywedais 'Matthew beth wyt ti'n wneud?'.
"Dywedodd fy mab, 'Wyt ti'n ei bwyta hi?'. Er bod gwyddoniaeth yn dangos nad oedd e'n gwneud hynny - yn fy meddwl i, dyna roedd e'n wneud."
Ychwanegodd: "Roedd yna weiddi o'r ystafell wedi i swyddogion yr heddlu fynd i mewn yno. Roedden nhw'n gweiddi 'cer i lawr'.
"Rwy'n credu fod Matthew wedi ceisio dianc. Petai e wedi dianc, fe allai fod wedi lladd pawb."
Yn gynharach clywodd y cwest dystiolaeth gan fam Mr Williams, a ddywedodd nad oedd ei mab wedi cael unrhyw gymorth i'w broblemau iechyd meddwl.
Dywedodd Sally Ann Williams mewn datganiad fod ei mab wedi dioddef o broblemau iechyd meddwl ers ei fod yn ei arddegau, a'i fod yn cymryd cyffuriau ac mewn trafferth â'r heddlu yn aml.
"Doedd e ddim y math o berson fyddech chi am ei groesi," meddai.
Dywedodd nad oedd hi'n credu mai carchar oedd y lle gorau i'w mab, a bod angen iddo fod yn rhywle lle y byddai'n cael gofal i'w broblemau.
Ychwanegodd Mrs Williams nad oedd ei mab wedi cael "unrhyw gefnogaeth o gwbl" wedi iddo gael ei ryddhau o'r carchar bythfenos cyn y marwolaethau, a bod y ddau wedi methu yn eu hymgeision i sicrhau apwyntiadau i weld meddyg a thîm iechyd meddwl.
Clywodd y cwest hefyd gan Rhodri Moore, ffrind i Matthew Williams, oedd wedi bod yn yfed a smocio canabis gyda Williams a Cerys Yemm yn yr oriau cyn ei marwolaeth, a ddywedodd ei fod yn gallu gweld nad oedd Williams yn ei iawn bwyll.
"Roedd e'n dweud wrth ei fam, 'dwi angen help', roeddwn i'n gallu dweud nad oedd pethau'n iawn gyda fe," meddai.
Roedd Mr Williams hefyd wedi bod yn gweld wynebau mewn caniau diodydd meddal, meddai, ac yn gweld drychiolaethau.
Ychwanegodd Mr Moore bod Matthew Williams a Cerys Yemm wedi bod yn treulio amser gyda'i gilydd yn y dyddiau cyn eu marwolaethau a bod nhw'n "fflyrtio", ond nad oedd unrhyw arwydd o drais tuag at Ms Yemm.
Mr Brown said a "No" vote would be the "starting gun" for Holyrood to be handed greater control over finance, welfare and taxation.
It is understood the three main Westminster parties will formally back Mr Brown's proposals on Tuesday.
The SNP has said the "No" campaign is in a state of "absolute panic".
A Downing Street spokesman said of Mr Brown's announcement: "We welcome this Labour initiative and we are content with the proposed timetable".
On Sunday, Chancellor George Osborne pledged to set out a "plan of action" on the implementation of new powers.
It came in the wake of a YouGov poll which gave the pro-independence campaign a narrow lead for the first time in the campaign ahead of the referendum on 18 September.
In other developments:
Mr Brown formally unveiled his proposed timetable for those new powers, in a speech at the Loanhead Miners Welfare and Social Club in Midlothian on Monday evening:
Despite the apparent momentum building behind the Yes campaign, Downing Street insists there will be no change of strategy, no surge of announcements, no rush of ministerial visits.
Instead, the UK government intends to stick doggedly to its core strategy of warning about the economic dangers of separation and doubts about a future Scottish currency. No 10 hopes this, coupled with the promise of more powers for Scotland, will be enough to save the Union.
But among MPs on all sides, there is mounting anxiety. One senior Tory told me it was "typical last-minute panic from Cameron and Osborne".
Anxiety centres on what is seen as a lack of passion and a call for Mr Cameron to inject more emotion into the case for the union, to talk less about sterling and more about family and values.
There are also demands for the prime minister to show more urgency, to sweep aside the rest of his diary and to focus solely on Scotland.
As for Ed Miliband, there are similar worries that he has failed to shore up the Labour vote and made little impact in its Scottish heartlands.
In short, leaders may not be panicking just yet but there are plenty of their MPs who are already deeply fearful that the break-up of the union may be just 10 days away.
Mr Brown went on to restate what new powers Labour would be pushing for, in 12 policy areas. They included the option of a non-profit making railway company and devolving powers over the work programme and housing benefit.
He said: "There never again could be a bedroom tax imposed by Westminster on Scotland because we would give the power to set housing benefit to the Labour people and everyone else who is in the Scottish parliament.
"These are big changes that we are proposing. To strengthen the Scottish Parliament but at the same to stay as part of the United Kingdom for pensions, for social security for funding out health service, for the currency, interest rates, the economy, defence and security."
A Downing Street source earlier said Mr Brown's timetable was "not a million miles away from our thinking" while another added: "This is in line with the fruits of the cross-party discussions."
The poll by YouGov in The Sunday Times at the weekend has led to an "intensifying debate on how to react", according to a very senior business figure close to this debate I spoke to this morning.
Two banking sources have also revealed that bank branches north of the border have started holding more cash at branches, in case members of the public decide they want to take out their money.
That is how seriously the banks themselves, and the Bank of England (which has been informed about this cash move), are taking the possibility of a Yes vote on 18 September.
Let's be clear. There appears to be no evidence yet of "deposit flight" - people moving money to English domiciled banks. And sources have said that moving some additional cash to branches is often a reaction to electorally volatile situations - a close general election, for example.
But financial institutions are preparing for all eventualities with movements of cash (a very small percentage of the liquidity they hold) and short-term buffer arrangements, should the need arise.

Speaking ahead of Mr Brown's announcement, Alistair Darling, the head of the pro-UK Better Together campaign, stressed that no new powers would be put on the table beyond those already announced by the three main Westminster parties earlier this year.
He added: "The additional powers coming to the Scottish Parliament were announced by the party leaders, north and south of the border, some time ago.
"People have said, 'Yes we want to know the timetable and the process' and that is something the government is going to announce this week.
"But remember this, this is a referendum on whether or not we stay on the United Kingdom. It is not a referendum on what further powers we are going to get. We are going to get them anyway, if we stay in the United Kingdom.
Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said plans to increase the powers of the devolved Edinburgh parliament were a "panicky measure" announced without credibility, because the Yes Scotland campaign for independence was "winning on the ground".
Speaking on behalf of Yes Scotland, former Scottish Labour Party chairman and Labour for Independence campaigner Bob Thomson said: "This smacks of utter panic and desperation by the 'No' campaign as they lose their lead in the polls.
"Gordon Brown is in no position to offer anything - he is a backbench MP, and the Tories are in power at Westminster.
"The choice is to vote Yes for all the powers we need to create jobs and protect Scotland's NHS - or No for a Tory-led talking shop.
"The people of Scotland will not trust the Tories to deliver powers that in any event fall far short of what we need. The sure fire way to achieve the full range of powers Scotland needs to build a fairer society and more prosperous economy is to vote Yes a week on Thursday."

Labour leader Ed Miliband is to welcome Gordon Brown's proposals in a speech at a TUC dinner later.
Arriving at the event in Liverpool, he said many trade unions were campaigning for a No vote for "solidarity and social justice".
He insisted Labour would deliver the timetable outlined by Mr Brown if elected to government in May 2015.
"Voting No in this referendum is not a vote for no change, we will deliver change, we are determined to deliver change," Mr Miliband added.
"Change for greater social justice for Scotland but also change for greater devolution to Scotland. We know things need to change and a No vote will deliver that change."
African football body Caf says the Harare event, which Zimbabwe FA boss Phillip Chiyangwa says is a birthday party, is a bid to 'destabilise Caf.'
Long-standing Caf president Issa Hayatou has not been invited.
"When you do your party, invitations are sent at your own discretion," said event organiser Chamu Chiwanza.
"I'm not saying he's not close to the Caf president but if you're not friends, why would you invite them just because they have a position?"
Chiwanza, the chair of Zimbabwe's Affirmative Action Group, is head of the organising committee for this event.
The function is officially to celebrate Chiyangwa's 58th birthday and his unexpected appointment as president of the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (Cosafa) in December.
However, some claim the gathering is a platform to bolster support for Madagascar FA head Ahmad, who takes on Hayatou in next month's Caf presidential elections.
The Malagasy is seen as the most serious challenger to the Cameroonian, who took charge of Caf in 1988, for many years.
Some 24 heads of African football associations are expected for the event hosted by Chiyangwa, Ahmad's campaign manager.
Earlier this month, Cosafa pledged its support for the Malagasy ahead of the 16 March elections in Addis Ababa.
Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick, who will also be in Harare, has already told the BBC he will vote for Ahmad as well.
That theoretically accounts for 15 votes, with a total of 28 needed to unseat Hayatou.
Caf warned Chiyangwa not to hold the gathering, insisting that he is not allowed to discuss football matters with leaders outside the Cosafa region.
"Rest assured there is not going to be any meeting to discuss crucial football matters with the Fifa president - it's about celebrations," said event organiser Chamu Chiwanza.
"Phillip is known for doing extraordinary things. He brought Michael Jackson to Zimbabwe in 1998 and who knows, maybe even Donald Trump will be part of the delegation next year!"
Also attending the Harare event is Fifa secretary general Fatma Samoura - the second-most powerful person in world football - and several business people, including South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe.
Infantino will arrive in Zimbabwe on Thursday evening prior to departing for Uganda on Friday night.
Derrick, 53, is still undergoing medical treatment after surgery for a brain tumour.
"John has been involved in cricket for more than 35 years so it is a very easy phone call for us to make asking people to support him" said ex Glamorgan player Mike Powell.
It is hoped the funds will help Derrick adapt his house.
Powell is working alongside county chief executive Hugh Morris, Professional Cricketers' Association official Ian Thomas and current wicket-keeper Mark Wallace, the former chairman of the PCA.
The four are organising a major dinner at the SSE Swalec Stadium on December 8, with former England spinner and national selector Geoff Miller speaking free of charge.
The PCA has already started to help Derrick.
"John has been my coach since I was ten. He was a bit of father figure throughout my career," said Powell.
"If it wasn't for John I would definitely not have played first-class cricket, so I owe my career to him.
"We said that we would raise as much our end to marry up with what the PCA Benevolent Fund was doing. We got our heads together and decided to do a dinner for John."
Derrick played for Glamorgan from 1983 to 1991 and coached them to National League titles in 2002 and 2004.
He is currently performance manager of the Cricket Board of Wales and has continued to play at club level, but was taken ill in August 2016.
He did stints on BBC Wales commentaries earlier in the summer.
A JustGiving page has also been set up so that those who cannot attend the dinner can donate.
"It's been very humbling to see Welsh cricket pulling in tight when we have needed it" added Powell.
"Cricket clubs around Glamorgan have been phenomenal. A lot of them have taken a table at the dinner, which shows how much John is loved in this part of the world."
About 45 of the 297 pupils and four teachers at Holy Family Primary School have been struck down by the virus, which can cause diarrhoea and vomiting.
Head teacher Karen Bathe said the decision to close had "not been taken lightly" but they had to "contain the outbreak as much as possible".
The school is due to reopen on Monday following a "thorough deep clean of the premises".
"This morning, there were a greater-than-normal number of children poorly and, as the morning progressed, more and more children were being ill and having to be sent home," said Ms Bathe.
"Closing a school is a very important decision, however I feel, after advice from Environmental Health, that this warrants it."
Gastroenteritis is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contact with an infected person or contaminated food and drink.
Symptoms can include vomiting, fever and stomach ache.
Shanay Walker's aunt and grandmother were jailed for child cruelty in 2015.
Coroner Mairin Casey told Nottingham Coroner's Court "information was withheld" months before she died.
It is thought at least 10 safeguarding referrals were made about Shanay. A post-mortem report showed she had more than 50 injuries to her body.
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
Mrs Casey said: "There is evidence that information was withheld from the local authority in the months before she died.
"Communication channels failed miserably between the school, local authority and health professionals."
Dr Emma Fillmore, a consultant paediatrician told the inquest she had no contact with the seven-year-old, but gave an overview of the case.
She said, given the evidence of her injuries, all the professionals involved should have met to discuss it and that such a meeting would happen now.
Lisa Hyland, of Southglade Primary School, said she had suspicions someone was "deliberately causing injuries" to Shanay, the inquest had heard.
The assistant head teacher, who taught Shanay a year before her death, said she reported her concerns on six occasions.
A trial at Nottingham Crown Court heard Shanay was placed in her aunt Kay-Ann Morris's care after her mother, Leanne Walker, suffered post-natal depression.
Shanay died of a brain injury at a house in Nottingham while in the care of Morris in July 2014.
Morris, of Beckhampton Road, was cleared of murder but both she and grandmother Juanila Smikle were convicted of "about the worst case" of child cruelty.
Morris was jailed for eight years. Smikle, of Easegill Court, was found guilty of cruelty at a retrial and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The inquest continues.
Google Maps now refers to the reef by its international name, Scarborough Shoal. Previously, the area was also named as part of the Zhongsha Islands.
Both China and the Philippines claim the shoal and its rich fishing grounds.
The Philippines has filed a case against China's claims at a UN tribunal - but Beijing has refused to take part.
Google Maps removed the Chinese name from the reef following an online petition that said the name gave credence to China's claims to the shoal, known as Huangyan Island by China and Panatag Shoal by the Philippines.
Scarborough Shoal was the scene of a tense stand-off between the Philippines and China in early 2012, when vessels from the two countries refused to leave the area for a number of weeks.
"We understand that geographic names can raise deep emotions which is why we worked quickly once this was brought to our attention," Google said in a statement emailed to the BBC.
Google's policy on disputed regions say that it considers "guidance from authoritative references, local laws and local market expectations", and strives to include "all points of view where there are conflicting claims".
China claims ownership of large parts of the South China Sea, including the Scarborough Shoal, which lie a little more than 100 miles (160km) from the Philippines and 500 miles from China, and the Spratly Islands.
Last week, a United Nations tribunal in the Hague began deliberations on whether it can hear a legal challenge over territorial claims in the South China Sea.
The Philippines filed the case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2013, but China has refused to take part in the proceedings.
Even if the Philippines is successful in its attempts to pursue China at the UN tribunal, China would not be obliged to abide by the ruling.
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said on Tuesday that China "will never accept the unilateral attempts to turn to a third party to solve the disputes", and urged the Philippines to negotiate with China directly.
Aside from the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan also have competing claims with China over various islands, reefs and shoals in the region.
The Department of Commerce said it will impose tariffs of between 14.78% to 15.97% on Chinese firms.
This compares with an earlier level of between 2.9% and 4.73% it announced in March.
China has criticised the move saying it will hurt trade relations and will provoke trade friction.
"The US is provoking trade friction in the new energy sector, and sending a negative signal to the world that stirs global trade protectionism and obstructs the sector's development," Shen Danyang, spokesman for China's Commerce Ministry was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.
The export of solar cells and solar panels has been a contentious issue between the US and China.
The US-based manufacturers of these products have alleged that government subsidies provided to Chinese firms have helped them cut their prices and flood the market with cheap products.
In its latest report, the Department of Commerce concluded that Chinese firms were selling products in the US at rates below fair value, a practice know as "dumping".
It said it would levy anti-dumping duties against these firms.
However, the department added that it would issue the orders for the anti-subsidy tariffs and anti-dumping duties once the US International Trade Commission (ITC) affirmed that these practices were hurting US firms.
The ITC is expected to announce its decision on the matter by 23 November.
Timothy Brightbill, a legal representative for SolarWorld Industries Americas, one of the firms that has been the most vocal opponent of Chinese companies, said it would keep up the pressure on authorities to implement strict measures.
"In our view, all Chinese cells and all Chinese modules are dumped and subsidised," he said.

British hopes were ended when Thomas crashed on the final descent, after Froome and Adam Yates had failed to stay with the leaders.
Thomas still finished the race as the best-placed British rider, in 11th.
Froome, who was 12th, goes for gold again in Wednesday's time trial, hoping to better his bronze at London 2012.
A thrilling finish saw Van Avermaet win the sprint to the line, leaving Denmark's Jakob Fuglsang to take silver and Poland's Rafal Majka bronze.
Yates came home in 15th while the other British riders, Ian Stannard and Steve Cummings, did not finish.

Before the race Froome had described the picturesque 237.5km road-race route as the most brutal course in Olympic history, but the three-time Tour de France winner's challenge did not falter until the final 20km.
By then, fewer than 40 of the 144 starters were left in contention after almost six hours of racing but Britain's riders remained well placed, with Thomas part of a six-man lead group that had opened up a 30-second gap on what was left of the peloton.
Froome and Adam Yates were back in that pack along with pre-race favourites Alejandro Valverde of Spain and Italy's Vincenzo Nibali, who was waiting to make his move.
It came on the penultimate descent of Vista Chinesa when Nibali bridged the gap. Yates got across too but was dropped early on the final set of ascents when the race completely split and Froome was left with too much work to do.
Thomas was left as Britain's last chance of a medal but did not have the legs to stay with the three leaders - Nibali, Colombia's Team Sky rider Sergio Henao and Majka.
That trio looked set to contest the medals until the final descent when Nibali and Henao both crashed out, with Thomas sliding off the road soon afterwards.
Majka was left clear but could not hold off Fuglsang or Van Avermaet, who won the sprint to the line along the Copacabana.
"Crazy day out there today! Team GB were amazing all day. So gutted for Geraint Thomas crashing when he did," Froome tweeted.
Thomas also tweeted: "Thanks for all the messages guys. Gutted to end like that, with it all the play for!!!"
Three of Britain's five riders were involved at the front of the race until almost the very end and the other two, Stannard and then Cummings, had sacrificed their individual chances to haul in an early breakaway.
Olympic gold medallist and BBC cycling co-commentator Chris Boardman said: "We did not win a medal because ultimately we did not have the legs for it but, tactically, that was the best Olympic road race I have seen from the British team, so hats off to them.
"They gave themselves plenty of options rather than concentrating on one rider, and used them superbly. All five rode a tough course fantastically well and I was really impressed by how they managed their resources.
"Thomas did a phenomenal job, the whole team did. Britain's best rider was expected to be Froome but for me Thomas would have been the better sprinter if it had come to that."
British coach Rod Ellingworth said: "Looking at Geraint there he was proper, proper disappointed. He knew that was a proper gold medal chance.
"He's all right. He's fallen heavy, he's got plenty of skin off, but he's okay, I think.
"I knew from the test event that descent was going to perhaps be a deciding factor in the race. And it was.
"When you think about how many riders crashed round there it was pretty mad really."

The Apple 1 was one of the first 50 built by Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in Jobs' parents' garage.
The computer - consisting only of a motherboard, signed by Mr Wozniak - went to an anonymous buyer from Asia.
Last year, an Apple 1 sold for 490,000 euros (£418,000; $633,000).
Only about 200 Apple 1s were ever made. About 46 remain in existence, but only six of those are still in working order.
Bob Luther, author of The First Apple, called the Apple 1 the "holy grail of collectable technology".
The one sold at auction in the German city of Cologne on Saturday was purchased together with an original monitor, tape-player and keyboard. The documentation was signed by Steve Jobs.
Tydfil Jenkins, 80, was pronounced dead at the scene after the crash on Bethania Street in Maesteg, just after 17:00 GMT on Tuesday.
The driver of a black Renault Clio was arrested on suspicion of causing death by driving without due care and attention while unfit through drugs and without a licence and insurance.
The man, 34, remains in custody.
The military has been in charge since a coup last year and an election was expected in the middle of 2016.
But a constitution re-drafted after the takeover is now to be put to the public.
Meanwhile, Yingluck Shinawatra, forced to step down as PM before the coup, is on trial on charges of negligence.
Thailand has seen almost a decade of divisive political conflict.
The military had ruled out a referendum, planning instead to seek opinion from a thousand selected respondents in each of Thailand's 77 provinces.
But a referendum has now been agreed. Before it can take place a committee meeting on 6 August needs to approve the draft constitution.
Once that has happened it will be at least three to six months before the referendum can take place, partly because 47 million copies of the constitution will need to be distributed to the public.
That could mean no election until the second half of 2016.
The draft constitution's contentious elements include:
Critics say the constitution is aimed at preventing the return of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra who was ousted in 2006, after being accused of corruption. He now lives in self-imposed exile.
Thailand's Constitutional Court forced his sister Ms Yingluck from office in early May 2014 after finding her guilty of abusing her power. Weeks later, the military seized power saying it needed to restore order following months of street protests.
The Shinawatras, or parties allied to them, have won every Thai election since 2001.
Their opponents accuse them of cronyism, corruption and financially ruinous policies.
Meanwhile, Ms Yingluck's trial on charges of dereliction of duty over her role in a controversial rice subsidy scheme has started. She pleaded not guilty.
The scheme paid rice famers in rural areas - where her party has most of its support - twice the market rate for their crop, in a programme that cost the government billions of dollars.
Ms Yingluck says she was not involved in the scheme's day-to-day operations and has defended it as an attempt to support the rural poor.
In January, she was retroactively impeached for her role in the scheme. She was also banned from politics for five years.
She told crowds outside the court in Bangkok she would prove her innocence.
Ms Yingluck maintains the charges she faces are intended to keep her out of politics. The next hearing in the trial has been scheduled for 21 July.
Her brother, Mr Shinawatra made a rare public appearance in South Korea earlier saying he believed "democracy will prevail" in Thailand.
In a decision that has caused outrage among Jewish and Muslim groups, the court said that a child's right to physical integrity trumps religious and parental rights.
The case involved a doctor who carried out a circumcision on a four year-old that led to medical complications.
Thousands of Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in Germany every year.
Although male circumcision - unlike female circumcision - is not illegal in Germany, the court's judgement said the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents".
Circumcision, it decided, contravenes "interests of the child to decide later in life on his religious beliefs".
The doctor involved in the case was acquitted and the ruling is not binding, but correspondents say it sets a precedent that would be taken into account by other German courts.
The president of Germany's Central Council of Jews, Dieter Graumann, called it "an unprecedented and dramatic intervention in the right of religious communities to self-determination".
He urged the country's parliament to clarify the legal situation "to protect religious freedom against attacks".
Male circumcision is part of the ancient religious rituals of both the Jewish and Muslim faiths, as well as the traditions of some tribal groups.
In some countries, such as the United States, it is also not uncommon for parents to request that young boys are circumcised for health reasons.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Germany says it is unclear what the next legal step will be, but this issue is a moral and political minefield.
But could the spring perennial hold the key to future antibacterial, antiparasitic and anti-cancer treatments?
Daffodils have already provided a compound used in an Alzheimer's disease drug, galantamine.
BBC Wales spoke to scientists at Bangor University who are now trying to isolate more disease-fighting compounds from the nation's favourite bulb.
Dr Patrick Murphy, an organic chemist, said his work with daffodils tends to generate more public interest than some of his other research areas.
"I think people can relate to daffodils. Everybody has seen daffodils growing in the spring," he said.
"My other areas of research are working on natural products isolated from marine sources, so sponges and bacteria, and I think these might appear less attractive."
The daffodil was introduced as an emblem of Wales in the 19th Century and popularised by Prime Minister David Lloyd George. The flower, which is often worn on St David's Day, is also commercially grown in mid Wales.
Dr Murphy and his team are hoping to isolate compounds called alkaloids in the flower for medical purposes.
He said: "The alkaloids people might know of tend to be the ones that have a powerful spectrum of activity within humans, for example, alkaloids such as caffeine (tea/coffee), nicotine (tobacco) or morphine (poppies).
"We're interested in alkaloids from daffodils and one quite well-known one is galantamine. This is a compound which has been isolated previously and used for treatment of early-stage Alzheimer's disease.
"We're interested in, not just this compound, but other compounds, which have not been exploited to a wide range because of a lack of available amounts of them.
"So, we hope to isolate larger amounts of these alkaloids for use in biological-activity studies."
The problem is it can often be quite difficult to isolate the compounds without impurities arising during the process.
"But we've found a relatively straight-forward way of doing it without involving too much expense," Dr Murphy said.
"That's often the sticking point, keeping the costs down to a minimum. So, we're quite pleased with where we are at the moment."
The team is looking at compounds from a common variety of the classic yellow daffodil sold in supermarkets.
Dr Murphy said: "There is a reliable variety that produces the major compound of interest. What we're trying to do is to take the waste from the our commercial partner's galantamine production and to actually get something from the waste rather than throwing it away."
But how close is the team's work to creating a viable treatment?
"That's a bit of a long way in the distance - it takes a long time to develop a compound from isolation to use in humans," Dr Murphy explained.
"But it would be interesting to isolate these compounds and to test them for ranges of activity such as antibacterial activity, antiparasitic activity and various other disease, possibly antiviral [or] anti-cancer activities."
Kittel finished ahead of compatriot John Degenkolb, with Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen third on Tuesday's 178km stage from Perigueux to Bergerac.
It was the 29-year-old's 13th Tour stage win, taking him one ahead of Erik Zabel's German record of 12.
Froome claimed his 50th yellow jersey.
French pair Elie Gesbert and Yoann Offredo launched an early break, but their lead of more than five minutes was reined in with a little under 7km to go.
Kittel's power in the bunch sprint could not be matched, as the Quick-Step Floors rider beat Degenkolb by more than a bike length to extend his lead in the points classification.
Degenkolb said after the stage that Kittel was from "another planet" and he certainly seems peerless in the race this year, winning four of the five bunch sprints he has contested.
Kittel found the wheel of Britain's Dan McLay close to the finish and catapulted beyond his rivals with such ease that he was able to raise his arms in victory salute as he crossed the line.
The 29-year-old also won four stages in 2013 and 2014 but looks well placed to beat his previous best - and could even achieve that on Wednesday with another sprint finish expected at the end of the road to Pau.
Mark Cavendish, who crashed out of this year's race after tangling with Peter Sagan, won six stages in 2009 and it is very possible that Kittel could at least equal that tally given he has also won twice previously on the Champs Elysees in Paris.
"I can't really believe it," Kittel told ITV4. "To win four in one Tour, it is super nice. I'm really, really happy.
"I feel like I live in a small little bubble in a small little world and it cannot be true."
The victory for Kittel saw him extend his lead at the top of the sprinters' green jersey standing to 102 points over Australia's Michael Matthews.
The race resumed on Tuesday after the rest day and it was arguably the most pedestrian and incident-free stage so far.
Froome could be seen happily chatting to other riders as the main group criss-crossed the Dordogne on the road to Bergerac and there were no alarms for the Team Sky rider, who ended by claiming the 50th yellow jersey of his career after finishing in the bunch.
"It was quite relaxed as far as Tour de France flat stages go," said Froome. "It is another day out of the way."
There was no change at the top of the general classification standings. Briton Simon Yates retains the white jersey worn by the best rider under 25 and Frenchman Warren Barguil kept the King of the Mountains polka dot jersey.
The Pyrenees loom on the horizon - the race gets there on Thursday - but it should be another day for a bunch sprint on Wednesday.
The stage takes us 203.5km from Eymet to Pau and with one intermediate sprint and one category four climb.
Would anyone bet against another win for Kittel right now?

Much of the area lies in rubble, with shattered statues and a ziggurat reduced to a fraction of its size.
IS circulated video footage showing militants blowing up or smashing up monuments and artefacts last year.
Government forces recaptured Nimrud as part of a wider assault on Mosul, the last major IS stronghold in Iraq.
A senior source in the Iraqi military's Nineveh Operations command reported significant advances around the city on Tuesday.
Warplanes bombed IS positions in Mosul's airport, on the southern outskirts, as units of elite Rapid Response Division encircled the nearby village of Albu Saif.
Counter-Terrorism Service personnel meanwhile fought fierce battles with IS militants in the eastern district of Qadisiya al-Thaniya, according to the source.
The city of Nimrud, about 32km (20 miles) south of Mosul, was founded more than 3,300 years ago. Then known as Kalhu, it was a capital of the Assyrian empire.
The site covered some 3.5 sq km (1.35 sq miles) and included a prominent "citadel" mound, the palaces and tombs of Assyrian kings, temples to their gods, colossal statues depicting lions and winged bulls, and widely revered frescos.
IS militants captured Nimrud in June 2014, shortly after they overran Mosul, routing the Iraqi army.
In March 2015, the Iraqi tourism ministry reported that militants had used bulldozers and other heavy vehicles to vandalise the site.
A month later, IS published a video showing militants smashing statues and frescos with sledgehammers before blowing up much of what remained.
On Tuesday, a pro-government tribal militia commander visiting the site for the first time in two years told the AFP news agency: "When you came here before, you could imagine the life as it used to be. Now there is nothing."
"One hundred percent has been destroyed," Ali al-Bayati added. "Losing Nimrud is more painful to me than even losing my own house."
The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) described the destruction of Nimrud last year as a "war crime", saying IS was "clearly determined to wipe out all traces of the history of Iraq's people".
The jihadist group has denounced pre-Islamic art and architecture as idolatrous, and has destroyed several other ancient sites in Iraq and neighbouring Syria.

But the fact it was Facebook doing the buying came almost out of nowhere.
News of the $2bn acquisition immediately trended on Twitter - provoking a mixture of surprise and, in a lot of cases, anger.
Here's a round-up of reaction from around the web.
Gaming news website Kotaku began by reflecting the tone of discussion with this opening line: "Facebook has just announced that it's buying Oculus Rift for $2 billion. Seriously."
It goes on to point out a posting on social news site Reddit one month ago in which an anonymous user wrote: "No way to confirm this, but my friend works in the same building as Oculus, and he ran into Mark Zuckerberg taking the elevator to Oculus' floor."
Following the news, a user returned to the prophetic post to write simply: "I laughed at this, now I'm crying."
On The Verge, Joshua Topolsky speculated on the bigger picture.
"As a service, Facebook is inspiring, as a platform, Facebook is scary," he wrote.
"That company now controls one of the most exciting technologies of the past fifty years.
"A truly revolutionary product that has reignited a dream many felt was all but dead and gone. What it will do with that technology is the only question that remains."
While Oculus Rift can be used for many purposes, it is, at its heart, a device with which to play video games.
For the past couple of years, a raft of games developers has been experimenting with the kit, adapting their games to work well with the hardware.
But Markus "Notch" Persson, creator of the wildly popular online game Minecraft, did not hide his views.
"We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus," he tweeted.
"I just cancelled that deal. Facebook creeps me out."
But another high-profile developer, Doom-co-creator John Carmack, dismissed any suggestion it was bad news.
"For the record, I am coding right now, just like I was last week.
"I expect the FB deal will avoid several embarrassing scaling crisis for VR."
Then again, Mr Carmack's views are to be expected - he was hired by Oculus VR last year to be its chief technology officer, and stands to make some serious money from the deal.
A perhaps more independent view comes from Dutch gaming company Vlambeer. The firm's "business and development guy" Rami Ismail told Engadget that Facebook was the "household name" Oculus needed.
"Facebook is a huge established tech presence, has amazing engineers, hardware, software, public mind-share and lots of money," he said.
"I mean, I am not a big fan of exits as a business model at all, but in light of not really having a profitable business model, it makes total sense for them to exit."
Oculus Rift's development was possible thanks to crowdfunding - 9,522 backers pledged $2,437,429 (£1.5m) to get the product off the ground.
Many of the product's early backers returned to the fund-raising page to give their opinions on the buyout.
"Shame on you Palmer, shame on you," wrote user Xod, referring to Palmer Luckey, Oculus VR's founder.
"A terrible move indeed, I'm so upset at the idea that this great community of generous people kickstarted Facebook. Believing you'll keep full control on Oculus and the Rift is very naive."
Another user, Drew Madson, wrote: "I backed this concept in the hopes they'd make something wonderful. Sadly all they did was make themselves wonderfully rich."
But others were more optimistic, and congratulated the team on the sale.
"It's going to take significant resources to make VR truly mainstream," wrote backer Jeff McMorris.
"I am not sure why everyone's so upset. Facebook is going to increase resources available to Oculus.
"Facebook is smart they saw the future, just like the rest of us here and bought it for two billion. They got a bargain."

The network would allow smart devices to talk to each other via the network.
Phone carrier SK Telecom is behind the initiative, which uses technology that will allow it to reach 99% of the country's population.
Aside from South Korea, the Netherlands also has a nationwide IoT network.
There will be charges involved as users will have to subscribe to monthly price plans that range from 350 Korean won ($0.30, ??0.20) to 2,000 won.
SK Telecom is investing up to 100 billion won by the end of next year to further develop the infrastructure, which it hopes will be a new source of revenue.
In a statement it said the price plans are "highly affordable" and cost one-tenth of its current LTE-based IoT services which will ease the cost burden of startups and small and medium enterprises.

Grabban, 29, scored three goals in 19 games while on loan at Championship play-off finalists Reading last season.
Steele, 26, has signed a four-year contract with the Championship side.

"The size of the club and its history attracted me, as well the manager. It's a good opportunity for me," he told the Championship club's website.
"He told me what he wanted and what his ambitions were, and that's why I'm here."
Cherries boss Eddie Howe said Grabban would be able to leave "for the right offer" and has not been given a squad number at the club.

Rakuten is accused of being the world's largest online retailer for elephant ivory, but will now phase out its sale.
The trade is legal in Japan for items imported before 1989 - but no new stock can be brought into the country.
Many other countries have banned the trade outright over concerns that it contributes to elephant poaching.
Rakuten also banned the sale of sea turtle products on its site, telling AFP news agency it was responding to "growing international concern".
"We expect it will take 1-2 months for all listings of these prohibited products to be removed," it said.
On the day of the announcement, a large number of ivory items were still listed for sale, including many carved personal seals known as "hanko".
Sellers of such items are expected to maintain careful records of their origin, and use only government-regulated ivory stockpiles.
But activists believe the rules are often circumvented and the precious material is often smuggled across borders.
Yahoo Japan, another site which allows the sale of ivory, has previously come under fire for the practice.
However, a spokesman told Reuters it did not plan to halt the trade, saying: "We don't think that the legal ivory trade in Japan has any impact on African elephant numbers."
"It is important to recognise there are cultural differences between different countries," he added.
African elephant numbers have plummeted in the last century, and there are an estimated 500,000 remaining on the continent.
China, a traditional powerhouse in the ivory trade, announced in December that it would ban all ivory activities and trade by the end of 2017.

In a five-hour closed session, Lula rejected allegations that he received a flat as a bribe in a scandal linked to the state oil company, Petrobras.
He called the case "illegitimate" and a "farce".
Lula faces a prison sentence if found guilty. If cleared, he says he will run again for the presidency next year.
The 71-year-old former president, still considered a hero to many in Brazil, was questioned by Judge Sergio Moro, who oversees the corruption investigation into Petrobras, known as Car Wash.
It was the first time that both faced each other in court, in the southern city of Curitiba, where security had been stepped up.
Wearing a sober suit and a tie striped with the colours of the Brazilian flag, Lula repeatedly denied the accusations against him.
"I consider this trial illegitimate and the accusation a farce," he said, according to a video released after the testimony.
He also strongly criticised the media for a coverage that, he claimed, "demonised" and "criminalised" him. The press, he added, wanted him "dead or alive".
But Judge Moro rejected this: "The press has no role in this case whatsoever," he said.
"The judgment will be made on the basis of law and exclusively according to the proof presented."
Lula went from the courtroom to a campaign style rally where thousands of his supporters gathered, many wearing the red colour of his Worker's Party. He was cheered on as a "warrior of the Brazilian people" and defied his accusers.
He said they had produced no evidence against him - and that he wanted to be judged on proof, not on interpretations.
Excerpts of the hearing started being shown on TV immediately afterwards, with commentators trying to decide which side had prevailed.
But this call will only be clear in the coming weeks: Judge Moro is expected to hand down his verdict in 45 to 60 days.
This is the first of the five charges that Lula faces related to the Car Wash scandal, Brazil's biggest ever corruption investigation.
He is also accused of money laundering, influence peddling and obstruction of justice.
Meanwhile, a much smaller group of opponents of the former president also gathered, raising an inflatable caricature of Lula dressed in prison garb. | Brazil's former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has made a fiery defence against corruption charges he faces in a much-anticipated testimony. | 39,880,243 | 536 | 39 | false |
Rankin will miss Ireland's forthcoming one-day matches against Pakistan, South Africa and Australia as well as the Intercontinental Cup and Twenty20 games against Hong Kong.
The 32-year-old fractured his left tibia during a training session.
Ireland will not replace the paceman in their squad for the games against Pakistan at Malahide.
"It's obviously a blow to lose a bowler of Boyd's quality and experience at such a crucial juncture of the season, but these things happen in sport," said Cricket Ireland head coach John Bracewell.
Rankin, who has taken 308 wickets in 92 first-class matches, was injured on his Test debut for England against Australia in January 2014 in Sydney.
"It's extremely frustrating to lose Boyd during such a key point in the season," said Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown.
"He will now go through a rehabilitation programme with our medical team to rest, strengthen and be ready for our 2017 pre-season schedule."

Three gold and 25 silver English coins from the reigns of Edward III, Richard II and Henry VI, along with three pennies, were found near Bronington.
The coins were found in 2013 by Cliff Massey, and a gold ring was also found by Mr Massey and Peter Walpole in 2014.
Wrexham County Borough Museum has expressed an interest in acquiring the coins and the ring.
National Museum Wales said the earliest coins, from the the reign of Edward I or II, were struck between 1280 and 1327 and are considerably worn through use.
Those from the era of Henry VI (1422-61) are relatively unworn and it is thought all the coins come from a single hoard which was lost or deposited after 1465.
It is not known what era the pennies are from.
Steve Grenter, heritage services manager at Wrexham museum, said: "We have relatively little material relating to the period of the Wars of the Roses, so the hoard would be a significant addition to our archaeological collections." | A hoard of medieval gold and silver coins found in Wrexham has been declared treasure. | 33,195,515 | 228 | 21 | false |
The man, in his 30s and from London, died at the scene, on the London-bound M26 at Kemsing in Kent.

No other vehicles are believed to have been involved. Officers are appealing for witnesses.
Three villages in Wokha district in Nagaland state have signed a resolution to penalise offenders who hunt Amur falcons.
They are located in the Doyang area, which is the main roosting site for the birds during their flight from Siberia to Africa.
Tens of thousands of these falcons have been hunted every year for their meat.
Hunters use fishing nets near a reservoir in Doyang to trap the birds when they come to roost.
The Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) has signed an agreement with a local non-governmental organisation and leaders of Pangti, Asshaa and Sungro villages to protect the migratory birds.
"This is a significant milestone for conserving these birds who have been threatened because they are hunted in thousands when they pass through Nagaland," says Sunil Kyarong, regional head of WTI.
Under the agreement, local tribespeople will set up groups to keep a watch on the roosting or foraging sites of the falcon, build watch towers to curb poaching and begin an awareness campaign to protect the birds.
Those who hunt and kill the bird will also be fined up to 5,000 rupees ($80, £48).
A local NGO, Natural Nagas, has also helped over 30 families involved in hunting falcons for a living to set up poultry farms as an alternative source of livelihood.
In a report last year, wildlife NGO Conservation India estimated that 12,000 to 14,000 Amur falcons were being killed in Nagaland every year.
"India is a signatory to the Convention on Migratory Species and is duty bound to prevent this massacre, provide safe passage, as well as draw up appropriate action plans for the long-term conservation of this bird," the group said.
Flibanserin, marketed as Addyi, has been dubbed the "female Viagra".
It is designed to help women regain their sex drive by boosting levels of chemicals in the brain.
The deal is subject to regulatory approval but Valeant said it should go through by the end of September.
Under the terms of the deal, Valeant will pay $500m when the deal is finalised and a further $500m during the first three months of next year.
"This partnership allows us the capacity to now ensure broader, more affordable access to all the women who have been waiting for this treatment," said Sprout's chief executive Cindy Whitehead.
Previous versions of the drug, which has been criticised for having only marginal benefits, were not given regulatory approval - it was rejected by the FDA twice for lack of effectiveness and side effects like nausea, dizziness and fainting.
But an FDA advisory meeting on 4 June concluded by 18 votes to six that it should be approved.
The FDA said strict measures would be put in place to ensure patients were aware of the risks, including a warning not to drink alcohol with the drug.
It will be made available in the US from October.
The development on land at Home Farm, Gresford Road, Llay, was blocked by county councillors in October 2015, following objections from residents.
An inquiry was held after developers lodged an appeal with the planning inspectorate.
Mr Jones said the need to address the lack of housing supply was a "material consideration" in his decision.
He was acting on the advice of planning inspector Richard Duggan, who conducted the inquiry in November 2016.
Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths would normally have had the final say, but as the proposed development falls within her Wrexham constituency, the matter was passed to the first minister.
Residents had complained the scheme was too big for the area and that local schools and health services would not be able to cope.
But Mr Jones said the council's education department had raised no objection and Mr Duggan had not been presented with evidence that health facilities were at capacity.
He added: "I am satisfied the inspector has considered the impact on local economic, social and environmental infrastructure and no unacceptable impacts have been identified which would justify withholding planning permission."
Plaid Cymru councillor Marc Jones said: "The decision undermines the democratic decision of the planning committee locally."

The Swiss-made device is so advanced Network Rail has set up its own engineering course to train contractors how to install it.
The work will eventually lead to a complete closure of the tunnel in September for six weeks.
Diversions will go via Gloucester.
The component, called the Overhead Conductor Rail System, has been customised in Switzerland and this version of the system has not been installed on a British public track before.
Anthea Dolman-Gair, senior programme manager for Network Rail, said: "A system similar to this has been used on the continent for a while, but this is the first time it's been adapted to be part of the new overhead electric system we are fitting into this country.
"Several years of engineering design and development have been put into this system. We use high-grade stainless steel that's typically used in the maritime industry so it doesn't corrode."
Installation and maintenance of the system requires a qualification not previously taught in Britain.
Network Rail engineers have set up a section of the new rail system in a workshop in Coleg Y Cymoedd in Nantgarw, Rhondda Cynon Taff, to train local contractors.
Some are former miners, and instructors say they have a natural aptitude for this kind of engineering.
Judith Evans, principal of Coleg Y Cymoedd, said the institution could expand off the back of the electrification programme.
"We've got four campuses across Rhondda Cynon Taff and Caerphilly. This particular facility in Nantgarw is easily accessible from the M4.
"I've already started having discussions within the college about whether or not in the next year or two we might even consider expanding. If the growth continues at the speed it is, I can see us having to put on an extension in the future."
The component is designed to have very little maintenance once installed, saving money.
The tunnel will be completely closed for six weeks in September to finish the work. Trains will be diverted around the tunnel via Gloucester.
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."
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman said: "The decision to charge was made following detailed consideration of the evidence and in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors."
It presents a detailed picture of torture, forced abortions and public executions in a vast network of secret political camps.
The research backs previous evidence that more than 150,000 political prisoners are being held in North Korea.
The authors are calling for an international commission of inquiry to investigate.
The report - by the Washington-based Committee for Human Rights in North Korea - uses detailed satellite photographs to identify barracks, work sites and execution grounds
in forced labour camps hidden in remote mountain areas.
"An entire system of political repression in North Korea needs to be eliminated," said the committee's chairwoman, Roberta Cohen.
The researchers relied for their information on some 60 former prisoners and camp guards, who have escaped to South Korea.
They describe a complex web of prisons and work camps built to punish those seen as resistant to North Korea's system of total state control, including those who try to escape to South Korea.
They say that many inmates die from malnutrition and harsh working conditions as they labour in mines, factories and on farms.
The researchers also document witness accounts of public executions - mainly of prisoners who try to escape or are caught stealing extra food rations.
They also present fresh evidence of routine torture, beatings and forced abortions - mainly for women who are repatriated from China and are thought to have conceived children by Chinese men.
Former inmates say they were sent to the camps - sometimes for decades - without any judicial process or often without hearing the charges against them.
Children and other family members of the accused can also be incarcerated in an effort to eradicate all criticism of North Korea's political system.
One woman said she was imprisoned for singing a South Korean song, and others for having relatives with South Korean or Japanese connections.
The report's author, David Hawk, first documented the extent of the North Korean camp system in his report "Hidden Gulag" in 2003.
He says he was able to update his research because many more North Korean refugees have since escaped from the country with fresh evidence. There are currently about 30,000 refugees in Seoul compared to just a few thousand a decade ago, hundreds of whom have experienced life in the camps.
North Korean officials have told the United Nations in the past that there are no political prisons in the country.
Opinion polls suggest that Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic's pro-EU Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) may get enough votes to form a new government.
But politicians who oppose Mr Vucic's pro-EU course also appear to be gaining ground. They include nationalist Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj.
Last month the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague acquitted Mr Seselj.
He was found not guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the Balkan wars in the 1990s.
That controversial ruling opens the way for him to return to parliament in Serbia. He has called for an alliance with Russia - historically an ally of Serbia, with shared Orthodox Christian traditions.
But a stronger rival to Mr Vucic is likely to be the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), led by current Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic. It has been in coalition with the SNS, but formed a separate election alliance with three other parties.
The SPS is generally more cautious over pro-EU reforms than the prime minister's party. Mr Dacic has said that joining the EU should not harm Serbia's relations with Russia and China.
Mr Vucic brought the election forward by two years, saying he needed a new mandate to implement tough reforms required to make Serbia eligible for EU membership.
Early results are expected soon after polls close in Serbia at 20:00 local time (18:00 GMT) on Sunday.
'Enemies in the EU'
Mr Seselj's Radicals failed to win seats in the last two elections, but the firebrand former deputy premier is expected to lead them back into parliament after a virulently anti-Western campaign.
"We do not want to be in the European Union. All Serbia's traditional enemies are there!" he told a rally last month, also lashing out at Nato for bombing Serbia during the 1998-1999 Kosovo war.
And not all members of Prime Minister Vucic's ruling coalition are pro-EU. Some oppose EU integration and advocate closer ties with Russia.
Thus the future of the reforms will be heavily influenced by coalition partners in the new government.

Three women had accused Mr Ghomeshi of attacking and sexually assaulting them.
Mr Ghomeshi, 48, had denied the charges, describing the encounters as consensual "rough sex".
The judge said that the three complainants' stories had been inconsistent and said reasonable doubt existed in this case.
A group of protesters - holding slogans "We believe survivors" - later gathered outside the court building in Toronto.
Ghomeshi trial rattles assault survivors
The alleged assaults took place between 2002 and 2003.
"Each complainant was less than full, frank and forthcoming in the information they provided to the media, to the police, to Crown counsel and to this Court," Justice William Horkins wrote in his judgement.
"The evidence of each complainant suffered not just from inconsistencies and questionable behaviour, but was tainted by outright deception," he said.
"At the end of this trial, a reasonable doubt exists because it is impossible to determine, with any acceptable degree of certainty or comfort, what is true and what is false."
The trial, which attracted a flurry of media attention, has spurred debate about how victims of sexual assault are treated by the Canadian legal system.
A demonstration in support of victims of sexual assault happened after the verdict was read, according to reports on Twitter.
Mr Ghomeshi's three accusers came under intense scrutiny from the defence during the eight-day trial, with defence lawyer Marie Henein questioning why they remained in contact with or on good terms with Mr Ghomeshi after the alleged assaults.
One sent Mr Ghomeshi a picture of herself in a bikini after she said he had punched her in the head. She told Ms Henein that she had wanted to bait Mr Ghomeshi into incriminating himself.
But prosecutor Michael Callaghan said "post-assault contact was not relevant to the sexual assault that took place" and every victim coped with assault differently.
Some advocates for sexual assault victims worried that the women were being put on trial rather than the alleged attacker.
Others were concerned the scrutiny would discourage other victims from coming forward in future cases.
Mr Ghomeshi, who hosted the radio show Q, was sacked by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 2014 after the allegations became public.
The CBC began an inquiry into Mr Ghomeshi's sexual activities after the Toronto Star newspaper began investigating allegations by an ex-girlfriend that he had engaged in non-consensual, violent sex with her.
The report found that CBC management knew about Mr Ghomeshi's behaviour, or should have known. It said the members of management did not take steps to stop it.
A number of women came forward after the Star's report, accusing him of punching, strangling and battering.
Stephen, 19, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, died last May after launching an appeal that raised more than £5m for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Jane Sutton said her son was a "keen runner" but his illness prevented him from completing a marathon himself.
She finished the 26-mile course in a time of six hours and three minutes.
She aims to raise £10,000 for the trust during the event.
"I am fulfilling my wish to Stephen, he has been my driving force and when I have been going out running he has been the person I am thinking about and hopefully I've got the same determination as him so I will cross that finish line," she said.
In September the trust announced £2.9m of the money raised would be invested in specialist cancer units for young people, and a further £1.2m used to train future cancer nurses and support staff.
In a televised statement on the last day of the trial, he said that if he was convicted "millions of Dutch citizens will be convicted with me".
The charges were brought after he led a chant for fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands at a rally 18 months ago.
He denies inciting racial hatred.
Mr Wilders has denounced the trial as an attempt to suppress freedom of speech. If convicted, he faces a fine and a year in prison. The verdict is due next month.
The populist politician, who had previously refused to attend the trial, addressed a three-judge bench at a high-security courthouse near Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.
In a long speech, he portrayed himself as part of a growing anti-establishment movement that had resulted in the UK's vote to leave the European Union and Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
"Worldwide, a movement has started that is making short shrift of the politically correct doctrines of the elite and their subordinate media," he said.
"Brexit proved it. The American election proved it."
He said that neither he nor his supporters were racist.
"They are people who want their country back and who are sick and tired of not being listened to," he said.
"If you convict me you will convict half of the Netherlands. Many Dutch will then lose the last bit of trust in the rule of law."
Mr Wilders has repeatedly criticised Islam, calling for the Koran to be banned and for the closure of all mosques in the Netherlands.
But prosecutors say he crossed a line when he asked supporters if they wanted "fewer or more Moroccans" in the Netherlands.
After supporters chanted back "fewer", he replied: "We'll organise that."
In 2011, Mr Wilders was acquitted of incitement after being accused of encouraging hatred towards Muslims.
The Netherlands will hold a general election in March and some opinion polls suggest Mr Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV) is a close second behind Prime Minister Mark Rutte's liberal VVD, or even slightly ahead.
The Silverlake Stadium surface was deemed unfit after an 11:30 inspection on Friday.
It is the second successive home game Eastleigh have had postponed after their fixture against Bromley also succumbed to the weather.
No new date has yet been arranged for the fixture. Eastleigh are currently fifth in the league, Barrow 16th.
Swansea are close to buying Bony, 24, from Dutch top-flight side Vitesse Arnhem for a club record fee of £13m.
The Welsh club broke their transfer record in August 2012 when they
"This is called living with the big boys," said James, the former Swansea and Wales winger.
"I think we have got to this stage at the Liberty... nobody is going to get another Michu.
"It is not going to happen again, where you pick up an absolute bargain.
"There are once-in-a-lifetime deals that come your way. Fortunately, it came our way.
"Bony now is £12 or £13 million and that is the market value of strikers of his calibre."
Swansea manager Michael Laudrup signed striker Michu for £2m from Spanish side Rayo Vallecano last summer and called it "the bargain of the season" after the Spaniard led them to Capital One Cup success and a ninth-placed finish in the Premier League.
Bony, 24, is an Ivory Coast international and scored 31 goals in 30 league appearances for his club in the Dutch league last season.
His arrival would take some of the pressure for goals off Michu, who scored 22 times for the club in 2012-13.
Bony was named Dutch footballer for his efforts in the same season and had spells at Issia Wazi, in his homeland, and Sparta Prague before joining Vitesse Arnhem in January 2011.
"To compete in the Premiership, in Europe and the domestic cups, which brought us real success, you have to have more players of this kind of calibre," said James.
Bony would be Swansea's seventh permanent summer signing.
They have also recruited Jonjo Shelvey from Liverpool, Alejandro Pozuelo from Real Betis, Jose Canas from Real Betis, Jordi Amat from Espanyol, Gregor Zabret from NK Domzale and Alex Gogic from Olympiakos.
Midfielder Jonathan de Guzman has also rejoined the club on a season-long loan from Villarreal.
The investment in the squad is a show of support for manager Michael Laudrup, who had said the Liberty Stadium side would have to strengthen for the 2013-14 campaign to build on last season's success.
Swansea won the Capital One Cup - beating Liverpool and Chelsea on the way to lifting the trophy - to qualify for the Europa League and finished in the top half of the Premier League.
The military said they had captured an immigration officer who confessed to being an active member of Boko Haram.
His confession led to the arrest of a number of other officials.
Boko Haram has killed hundreds in northern and central Nigeria since 2009, when it launched a campaign to install an Islamic state.
The group's fighters have bombed government buildings and churches and assassinated Muslim clerics who disagreed with their views.
Their attacks have killed woman and children, Muslims and Christians.
Lt Colonel Sagir Musa said the immigration official was arrested last month while impersonating an army officer.
"He confessed to being an active member of the Boko Haram terrorist sect," said Col Musa.
"He also confessed to having been trained alongside 15 other members of the sect on weapon handling, assassination and special operations in Niger."
Col Musa said his testimony helped the military root out a number of others who had carried out attacks for Boko Haram.
Analysts have in the past said that the fight against Boko Haram was undermined because the Islamist group had managed to infiltrate the military.
Boko Haram shot to prominence in 2009 when hundreds of their members attempted to storm police stations and government buildings in Maiduguri.
The security forces quelled the rebellion and killed dozens of the sect's members, as well as its leader.
Since then, their attacks have been better organised and caused many more civilian deaths.
Nigeria is roughly divided between a largely Muslim north, and the south, where Christianity and traditional religions dominate.
Irish Ferries has cancelled some services between Holyhead and Dublin due to adverse weather conditions.
BBC Wales forecaster Derek Brockway said wind speeds of 55mph (88kph) could be felt at Holyhead on Wednesday.
Drivers of HGVs and caravans have been advised not to cross the A55 Britannia Bridge onto Anglesey.
North Wales Police said anyone choosing not to cross the bridge westbound should leave at junction 11 where they would be directed to rest facilities.
They advised those coming from the ferry at Holyhead who did not want to cross the bridge to remain at the Holyhead port facilities.
Another yellow gales alert is in place for most of Wales over Thursday night and into Friday morning.
The death of the tiger - possibly frightened by fireworks celebrating Chinese New Year - sparked an investigation.
On Wednesday Yang Wenzheng, Zhang Fucai and Cui Jingguang were found to have illegally reared eight tigers.
They apologised and have been fined.
Chinese Central Television (CCTV) reported the surviving animals had been moved to a local zoo.
The seven-month-old cub was found dead in the car park of an apartment building on 19 February.
Yang Wenzheng, a member of the local legislature, was quoted on web portal Dahe Online saying: "I was raising two tigers - not long after they were born I started taking care of them, just like they were my children.
"It's very possible that the tiger got scared because of the noise, so it squeezed out of its cage and fell to its death."
He said he found a gap in the cage and broken glass nearby.
He told the reporter he had constructed a 3m (9ft) tall steel cage on his roof and arranged for someone to feed the tigers beef, chicken and other meat twice a day.
With one of his fellow deputies, Yang had obtained two tigers from a third councillor, who had eight of the animals but found the costs of raising them too expensive to bear.
They bred at least three cubs that later died, CCTV reported.
The officials were found to have kept the tigers without permits and fined 3,000 Chinese renminbi (£326), reports said.
Tiger meat and bones are said to have curative properties in traditional Chinese medicine and farming them can be lucrative, the China Daily said.
It added tigers can fetch 1m RMB on the black market.
After trailing 20-6, second-half tries from Chris Hill, Kevin Brown and Tom Lineham, two minutes from time, added to Ryan Atkins' first-half effort.
Declan Patton missed with one of his four conversion attempts.
But Wire outscored Trinity four tries to three from Ashley Gibson, Mason Caton-Brown and Tom Johnstone.
Liam Finn kicked three conversions and a penalty for Trinity, who remain seventh, but now only a point ahead of Warrington, who climb above St Helens to eighth, having totally put behind their six-game winless start by stretching their unbeaten run to five matches.
Wakefield made a dream start, hitting their hosts with two tries in two minutes to take an early 12-0 lead, Kyle Wood kicking ahead for Gibson to touch down before Jacob Miller broke from deep and the supporting Caton-Brown was on hand to take the stand-off's pass to score under the posts.
Although Patton and Stefan Ratchford combined to send centre Atkins off on an 80-metre run from deep to get Wire on the scoreboard with a converted try, Finn's penalty earned a 14-6 interval lead.,
And the visitors still looked to be on their way to a comfortable victory when winger Johnstone scored their third try early in the second half.
But, although weakened by the loss of suspended duo Ben Westwood and Daryl Clark, as well as Mike Cooper, injured against Huddersfield on Easter Monday, tries by Hill and Brown set up a frantic finish capped by Lineham's spectacular winning dive for the corner.
Warrington coach Tony Smith:
"The character isn't in question at all. Some of our processes and methods are questionable but the players are trying hard in all departments - and sometimes a little bit too hard.
"The desire is to play the ball quickly. But there were errors and we were dropping the ball which are just little lapses in concentration. We need to be better because it's hurting us.
"We felt if we held the lion's share of the ball we would score points and we also felt if we gave the ball over to Wakefield they would score points because they are a dangerous and good attacking team.
"But you can't be too critical because for a lot of the players it's their fourth game in two weeks and rugby league is too hard to play physically and mentally in that space of time."
Wakefield coach Chris Chester:
"It was one of those games that just got away from us. It's a tough one to take because we were the best team for large parts of the game and we have just come up short again.
"I'm proud of the boys' efforts. To come to Warrington and be really disappointed with a loss just shows how far we have come in a such a short space of time.
"We just needed to be a little bit smarter in the second half. Our game management needed to be better to slow the game down. We played like we were chasing the game.
"But the effort was fantastic and two weeks on the bounce we should have got something. It's been tough just talking to the boys after the game because they are gutted."
Warrington: Ratchford; Evans, Livett, Atkins, Lineham; Patton, Gidley; Hill, Dwyer, Sims, Jullien, Hughes, Westerman.
Replacements: Philbin, Brown, G King, Savelio.
Wakefield: Jowitt; Jones-Bishop, Gibson, Caton-Brown, Johnstone; Miller, Finn; England, Wood, Fifita, Hadley, Kirmond, Arona.
Replacements: Williams, Batchelor, Hirst, Huby.

Costas Contostavlos, 30, appeared by video link at Luton Crown Court from Peterborough Prison.
A plea of not guilty to common assault on Imani Campbell was accepted by the prosecution.
The row took place at the couple's home in Hatfield, Hertfordshire on 10 May.
The court heard neighbours first heard a commotion in the early hours of the morning.
Prosecutor Neil King said mobile phone footage taken by a witness in the street showed the rapper came out of his home, he then went to a bush in the front garden from where he picked up a knife that he took back inside.
He said Miss Campbell then came out of the house with the blade described in court as a long thin boning knife.
The couple was seen outside at one point before going back inside.
Contostavlos, a Big Brother runner-up and cousin of ex X-Factor judge Tulisa, emerged once more carrying a large butcher's knife with a curved blade.
He is also said to have pointed the knife at members of the public making intimidating remarks.
Police, including armed officers, attended the address in Roe Green Close, shortly afterwards and forced the door open.
Contostavlos was arrested later that afternoon.
Judge Richard Foster, The Honorary Recorder of Luton, adjourned the hearing for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.
A further charge of using threatening words and behaviour has been discontinued by the Crown.
The judge said it was likely the rapper, who was denied bail, would receive a custodial sentence.
The Thaad missile system, aimed at intercepting attacks from North Korea, was made operational in South Korea last week.
But Beijing says the system will spy on its territory and has strongly criticised its deployment.
Relations between Beijing and Seoul have deteriorated over the issue.
Liberal Moon Jae-in was elected South Korean president on Tuesday. He is facing a delicate task balancing ties with the US, Seoul's traditional ally, and China - both of whose help he needs to tackle North Korea and its nuclear ambitions.
A South Korean presidential spokesman said that the Chinese leader - who initiated the call - "explained the reasons for Beijing's strong and repeated opposition" to the deployment, Yonhap news agency reported.
"President Moon said the Thaad issue can be resolved when there is no further provocation by North Korea," spokesman Yoon Young-chan said.
Mr Moon also raised the issue of apparent economic retaliation against South Korean firms in China, he said. He will send a delegation to Beijing to discuss both North Korea and Thaad.
The Thaad deployment was agreed by Mr Moon's predecessor, conservative leader Park Guen-hye. She is currently in prison awaiting trial on corruption charges.
Washington says the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (Thaad) system will play a vital role in curbing the missile threat from Pyongyang, but Beijing says that the system's radar affects its security.
The deployment is also unpopular among South Koreans who live near the site that hosts the system because they believe it makes them a target.
Mr Moon's position on Thaad is not yet completely clear - his comments have been ambivalent in the past. His spokesman called a US decision to roll it out in the weeks before the election "very inappropriate", as it stripped the next government of the right to make its own decision on the system.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said that the two sides expressed willingness "to bring [relations] back to a healthy and stable development track".
Both Mr Moon and Mr Xi agreed that denuclearising North Korea was a "common goal". Mr Moon has advocated dialogue with the North as well as sanctions, adopting a more conciliatory stance than his predecessor.
What impact will S Korea's expanded missile defence system have?
1. The enemy launches a missile
2. The Thaad radar system detects the launch, which is relayed to command and control
3. Thaad command and control instructs the launch of an interceptor missile
4. The interceptor missile is fired at the enemy projectile
5. The enemy projectile is destroyed in the terminal phase of flight
The launcher trucks can hold up to eight interceptor missiles.
The club say they have "engaged legal advisors and are currently considering all legal options available in relation to this matter."
Hooker Segeyaro, 26, recently returned to his native Australia.
He subsequently told the Australian Sunday Telegraph that he was homesick and did not want to return to the UK.
Segeyaro joined the Rhinos from Penrith in June and is contracted to the Super League side until the end of the 2018 season.
"We take this matter very seriously," chief executive Gary Hetherington told the club website.
"James' decision has created a big problem for us and created uncertainty throughout our organisation.
"We are aware of the interest in him from a number of NRL clubs but we have our interests to protect as well and need to consider all avenues in this matter."
Super League club Castleford Tigers recently announced they will be taking legal action against winger Denny Solomona after he failed to return for pre-season training.
Solomona is understood to have held talks with rugby union side Sale.
McIlroy, 26, ended the day on four under par after an even-par round of 72, which left him six shots behind leader Rafa Cabrera-Bello of Spain.
The Northern Irishman made four bogeys on the outward nine and slipped back to level par with a fifth at the 11th.
He salvaged the situation with birdies on the 13th, 16th, 17th and 18th holes.
Cabrera-Bello, the 2012 champion, carded a second consecutive 67, while England's Danny Willett (65) and Ernie Els (67) were tied for second on nine under.
"I struggled in the wind a little bit," McIlroy told the European Tour website.
"I didn't get off to the best of starts again. The middle of the round was tough but I bounced back well and persevered and got something out of the round."
McIlroy bogeyed his opening hole for the second day running and then tossed away his ball after three-putting the fourth on his way to reaching the turn at three over for the day.
A three-putt bogey on the 11th then saw McIlroy slip back to level par and outside the projected cut, and it required a testing putt to avoid the same fate on the next before a run of birdies rescued his round.
"I was definitely thinking about (missing the cut), especially over the putt on 12," added McIlroy.
"If I missed that and went one over for the tournament it would have been a long way back.
"I've come back from bigger deficits than this and if I can get off to a faster start tomorrow, you never know."
Ex-military chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi and former heads of military intelligence, the navy and air force are expected to be tried in absentia.
The nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed after Israeli troops boarded their ship, the Mavi Marmara.
They had been hoping to breach Israel's naval blockade and deliver aid to Gaza.
A prosecutor at the court in Istanbul has called for each of the four Israeli officers to face nine life sentences, Turkish news agency Anatolia reported.
The other three commanders are ex-naval chief Vice Admiral Eliezer Marom, former head of military intelligence Major General Amos Yadlin, and former head of the air force Brigadier General Avishai Lev.
If they are convicted, the Turkish court could issue a warrant for their arrest.
Israel carried out its own investigation but has not prosecuted anyone involved in the raid.
The Mavi Marmara was intercepted by the Israeli navy in international waters as it sailed towards Gaza's coast on 31 May 2010.
A UN inquiry found that Israel's blockade of Gaza was "a legitimate security measure".
It said Israeli troops had faced "significant, organised and violent resistance" when they boarded the ship.
But it said Israel's decision to board the ship and the use of substantial force was "excessive and unreasonable".
The incident has led to a major rift in relations between Turkey and Israel.
This story contains language which you may find offensive.
The 24-year-old reposted an image of computer game character Super Mario on Instagram, which included the words "jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew."
The Italian tweeted to deny the post was offensive, before apologising.
He has until 18:00 GMT on 15 December to respond to the charge.
A Liverpool spokesman said: "We acknowledge the FA's decision and the player will work through the process to answer the charge.
"While that process is on-going the club will make no further comment."
An FA statement read: "It is alleged the Liverpool player breached FA Rule E3[1] in that his posting was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper.
"It is further alleged that this is an 'Aggravated Breach' as defined by FA Rule E3[2] as it included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race and/or nationality and/or religion or belief."
Balotelli had until 18:00 on Friday to submit an explanation for his comments to the FA and he reportedly provided evidence of the discrimination he has faced during his career.
The picture posted by the player had an image of Super Mario with the heading: "Don't be a racist!"
The text read: "Be like Mario, he's an Italian plumber, created by Japanese people, who speaks English and looks like a Mexican."
"He jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew."
After receiving criticism on Twitter for the image, Balotelli tweeted: "My mom [sic] is Jewish so all of you shut up please."
He also described reposting the image as "my unlucky moment".
However, he later wrote: "I apologise if I've offended anyone.
"The post was meant to be anti-racist with humour. I now understand that out of context it may have the opposite effect.
"Not all Mexicans have a moustache, not all black people jump high and not all Jewish people love money.
"I used a cartoon done by somebody else because it has Super Mario and I thought it was funny and not offensive. Again, I'm sorry."
Balotelli, who will miss Liverpool's match against Sunderland on Saturday with a groin injury, has scored only two goals in his 14 appearances for the club this season.
Deputy PM Numan Kurtulmus said the Middle East was "already a powder keg".
He criticised attacks on Saudi missions in Iran but also Saudi Arabia's execution of a Shia Muslim cleric, which triggered the dispute.
Saudi Arabia has broken off diplomatic relations with Iran and is cutting trade and air links.
On Monday, some of Riyadh's allies joined diplomatic action against Iran.
The US has also called on both countries to calm the escalating row.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are respectively the key Sunni Muslim and Shia powers in the region and back opposing sides in Syria and Yemen.
Great rivalry explained: Why don't Iran and Saudi Arabia get along?
Spiralling tensions: Why crisis is 'most dangerous for decades'
How row is playing out: Iran and Saudi media reaction
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr: Who was leading Saudi Shia cleric?
"We want both countries to immediately move away from the situation of tension that will obviously only add to the already severe tensions existing in the Middle East," Mr Kurtulmus was quoted as saying by the Anatolia news agency.
"The region is already a powder keg. Enough is enough. We need peace in the region."
He called on Iran to protect all diplomatic missions and said that Turkey was against "all instances of capital punishment especially when it is politically motivated".
"For us it is not possible to support capital punishment by any country," he added.
"Saudi Arabia and Iran are our friends and we don't want them fighting because that's the last thing this region needs."
Sunnis and Shia: Islam's ancient schism
On Saturday, Saudi Arabia executed cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr and 46 others after they were convicted of terror-related offences.
The move prompted an angry reaction from Iran. Protesters set fire to the Saudi embassy in Tehran and a consulate in the city of Mashhad before being driven back by police.
Saudi Arabia announced late on Sunday that it was cutting diplomatic relations with Iran after the storming of the embassy in Tehran.
It said all commercial and air traffic links were being cut and that Saudi citizens were banned from travelling to Iran.
Saudi UN ambassador Abdallah al-Mouallimi said on Monday that the dispute could be resolved if Iran stopped "interfering in the affairs of other countries, including our own".
Riyadh has previously accused Iran of interfering in Arab affairs.
Speaking in New York, Mr Mouallimi said peace efforts in Syria and Yemen should not be affected by the spat but criticised Iran's contribution to the process.
"The Iranians even before the break of diplomatic relations have not been very supportive, not very positive in these peace efforts," he said.
"They have been taking provocative and negative positions... and I don't think the break in relations is going to dissuade them from such behaviour."
Bahrain and Sudan also severed relations with Iran on Monday, and the UAE has downgraded its diplomatic team.
Bahrain, which is ruled by a Sunni monarchy but has a majority Shia population, gave Iranian diplomats 48 hours to leave the country.
The Sudanese foreign ministry said its action was on response to "the barbaric attacks on the Saudi Arabian embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad".
On Monday, a White House spokesman called on both countries to "show some restraint and to not further inflame tensions that are on quite vivid display in the region".
But Iran's foreign ministry accused the Saudis of "continuing the policy of increasing tension and clashes in the region".
The row also affected global markets, sending oil and gold prices higher on Monday.
Army explosives experts were called out to deal with a suspect package at the offices on the Newtownards Road on Friday night.
Roads were sealed off and traffic diverted as a controlled explosion was carried out.
The premises, used by East Belfast MP Naomi Long, have been targeted a number of times.
Most recently, petrol bomb attacks were carried out on the offices on consecutive nights in April and May.
The attacks began following a Belfast City Council vote in December 2012 restricting the flying of the union flag at the City Hall.
Condemning the latest hoax, Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle said: "It is a serious incident for the local area, it causes serious disruption, it puts people's lives at risk, it can prevent emergency services reaching the area.
"Ultimately we need people with information to share that with the police in order for them to do their job and bring these people to justice."
But the Midlands director of Rogue One hopes to use the film to help educate people about Angelman Syndrome.
Gareth Edwards has made a video about his niece Ella Court, 14, from Nuneaton, who has the condition.
Made by Lucasfilm and filmed on set, it has already been viewed tens of thousands of times on Youtube.
Mr Edwards is the patron of the Assert charity and the video is aimed at raising awareness of the organisation's work.
The film features clips of famous Stars Wars scenes and Ella's family.
Mr Edwards said: "When I first found out about my niece's condition, it was hard for me to get my head around what it was and how it would affect Ella and my sister and the rest of my family.
"People often feel bad for children like Ella, but she's incredibly warm and sociable and energetic and a tactile person."
His sister and Ella's mother Lisa Court is also a trustee of the organisation.
She said: "I jokingly said to him quite a few years ago, that when you're famous, you can be our patron.
"To be able to say Star Wars and Angelman Syndrome in the same sentence just opens up a whole new world."
But rather than a gym-soaked t-shirt, it needs just one millionth of a litre of sweat to do the testing.
The team - in South Korea - showed the sensor was accurate and think it could eventually help patients with diabetes.
And in extra tests on mice, the sensor was hooked up to a patch of tiny needles to automatically inject diabetes medication.
The team at the Seoul National University were trying to overcome the need for "painful blood collection" needed in diabetes patients.
This is how patients with diabetes would normally keep track of blood sugar levels:
And this could be the future:
The sensor is flexible so it can move with the skin it is stuck onto.
However, the scientists needed to overcome a series of challenges to make it work.
There is less sugar in sweat than blood so it is harder to find, and other chemicals in sweat such as lactic acid can disrupt the results.
So the patch has three sensors keeping track of sugar levels, four that test the acidity of the sweat and a humidity sensor to analyse the amount of sweat.
It is all encased in a porous layer that allows the sweat to soak through and bathe the electronics.
All this information is passed onto a portable computer which does the analysis to work out the sugar levels.
Tests before and after people sat down for a meal, published in the journal Science Advances, showed the results from the sweat patch "agree well" with those from traditional kit.
However, for the next stage the researchers turned to mice with diabetes.
They used the blood sugar monitor to control an array of microneedles to give the mice doses of the diabetes drug metformin.
The researchers conclude: "The current system provides important new advances toward the painless and stress-free" care for diabetes.
However, there is a leap between proving something can sense sugar levels in a lab and turning that into something that is so reliable people can put their lives in its hands.
So the researchers next want to test how the patches work in the long-term.

The 24-year-old Irishman left Tannadice in 2014 to join Birmingham City in the English Championship.
But he was released in August after only one game for League One outfit Oldham Athletic.
Gunning has agreed a contract until the end of the season but is awaiting international clearance to play.
He spent three years with United after leaving Blackburn Rovers following a loan spell with Motherwell.
Gunning made 99 times for the Scottish Premiership club, but he has made only two first-team appearances since leaving Tayside, both in the Capital One Cup.
He played for Birmingham in a 3-1 win over Cambridge United in August 2014 and only featured once for Oldham - in a 3-1 home defeat by Middlesbrough a year later.
United manager Mixu Paatelainen has played down any suggestions that Alexia Eremenko will also be joining the club.
The 32-year-old playmaker, who ended his second spell with Kilmarnock last summer, has left Jaro after they were relegated from the Finnish top flight.
Meanwhile, United are still waiting to hear if Japan goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima has been granted a work permit to join the club.
Paatelainen says this is proving to be frustrating for both parties.
AMs passed the Welsh Labour-led government's final budget for the next financial year on Tuesday evening, with the support of Plaid Cymru.
The budget includes £50m for a bypass at Llandeilo.
Llanelli AM Lee Waters warned against offering schemes "for political parties to show they have exerted influence".
"It is not my preference that we make annual deals like this," said Mr Waters, in a debate on the final budget in the Senedd on Tuesday.
"But if that is to be the way then inevitably we are going to be tempted towards the lowest common denominator."
"I'd hate to see us go the way of other democracies, most notably the American political system, where we descend towards pork barrel politics," he said.
"It's a mark of the American budget system that hardly a budget is passed without a museum or a bridge or a bypass being awarded in the name of the chair of various committees."
Accepting commitments to planning for the long term and taking into account carbon emissions "do have policy and spending implications that we need to build into our thinking, and not simply revert to the practices of the past, and not simply to revert to projects to win support for political parties to show they have exerted influence."
Mr Waters otherwise welcomed "moves in the budget to implement some of the key pledges in the Welsh Labour manifesto from last year".
Adam Price of Plaid Cymru said his party "has been able to have an influence for the benefit of the lives of the people of Wales".
"I would encourage other parties to have this more constructive attitude towards politics, to put forward ideas and if they disagree to be part of the dialogue".
The leaked US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) report, dated March 2016, was obtained by the Sunday Times.
"If Usada or any other anti-doping body has evidence of wrongdoing they should publish it and take action rather than allow the media to be judge and jury," said Farah, who has won 5,000m and 10,000m gold at the past two Olympics.
The coach in question, Alberto Salazar, has been under investigation since a BBC Panorama programme made allegations about drugs use at his US training base.
According to the Sunday Times, the leaked report also alleges Salazar, head coach of the world famous endurance Nike Oregon Project (NOP), routinely gave Farah and other athletes legal prescription drugs with potentially harmful side-effects without a justifiable medical reason.
The investigation into Salazar, who is also a consultant to UK Athletics (UKA), has been under way since at least June 2015.
Salazar and Farah deny they have ever broken anti-doping rules.
"It's deeply frustrating that I'm having to make an announcement on this subject," said 33-year-old Farah in a statement.
"I am a clean athlete who has never broken the rules in regards to substances, methods or dosages and it is upsetting that some parts of the media, despite the clear facts, continue to try to associate me with allegations of drug misuse.
"I'm unclear as to the Sunday Times's motivations towards me but I do understand that using my name and profile makes the story more interesting but it's entirely unfair to make assertions when it is clear from their own statements that I have done nothing wrong.
"As I've said many times before we all should do everything we can to have a clean sport and it is entirely right that anyone who breaks the rules should be punished."
The Usada interim report was passed to the Sunday Times by the suspected Russian hacking group Fancy Bears.
The BBC has so far been unable to verify its authenticity with Usada, or establish whether any of its reported conclusions are out of date.
In a statement, Usada said it could "confirm that it has prepared a report in response to a subpoena from a state medical licensing body regarding care given by a physician to athletes associated with the Nike Oregon Project".
It said: "We understand that the licensing body is still deciding its case and as we continue to investigate whether anti-doping rules were broken, no further comment will be made at this time.
"Importantly, all athletes, coaches and others under the jurisdiction of the World Anti-Doping Code are innocent and presumed to have complied with the rules unless and until the established anti-doping process declares otherwise. It is unfair and reckless to state, infer or imply differently."
Contents of the report
According to the Sunday Times, the leaked report claims that Salazar:
Salazar maintains that drug use has always fully complied with the Wada code and that athletes were administered with L-carnitine in "exactly the way Usada directed".
The Sunday Times claims the Usada report also reveals:
The report, apparently written in March 2016, allegedly states: "Usada continues to investigate circumstances related to L-carnitine use" by Farah.
Farah told the Sunday Times two years ago that he had "tried a legal energy drink" containing L-carnitine but "saw no benefit" and did not continue with it.
The newspaper also claims the report says Dr John Rogers, a medic for the British athletics team, told Usada in an interview that conversations he had with Salazar at a training camp in the French Pyrenees before the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, gave him such "concern" that he wrote an email at the time to his medical colleagues at UK Athletics.
It also says Rogers told Usada that Salazar had told him about "off-label and unconventional" uses of the prescription medications calcitonin and thyroxine (hormones) and high doses of vitamin D and ferrous sulphate.
The revelations will pile more pressure on Britain's greatest ever endurance runner, who has steadfastly refused to end his association with Salazar.
It raises questions too for UKA, which gave the Briton the all-clear to continue working with Salazar after an inquiry was launched following the BBC Panorama programme.
Background
In June 2015, in conjunction with the US website ProPublica, the BBC's Panorama programme Catch Me If You Can made a series of allegations about the methods at NOP, and included testimony from a number of former athletes and coaches, including Kara Goucher and Steve Magness.
The film alleged Salazar had a fixation on the testosterone levels of his athletes, and may have doped American Olympic medallist Galen Rupp with the banned steroid version when he was 16. The programme also alleged Salazar had conducted testosterone experiments on his sons to see how much of the drug he could apply to them before it triggered positive tests.
The film also alleged Salazar used thyroid medicine inappropriately with his athletes, and encouraged the use of prescription medication when there was no justifiable need.
Salazar denied the wrongdoing alleged in the programme, and issued a 30,000-word rebuttal.
Usada took the unusual step of confirming it had launched an investigation into NOP following the BBC and ProPublica's revelations in 2015. Earlier stories by the New York Times and the Sunday Times had also raised concerns about some of Salazar's methods.
It is not clear why the Usada report remains unpublished.
The BBC has sought comment from Alberto Salazar and UK Athletics.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan
Nine months ago, amid rumours Usada had dropped an investigation into his coach, Sir Mo Farah said he felt vindicated after standing by Alberto Salazar, the man who has helped him achieve so much success. This will raise more questions over that association.
Last year Farah distanced himself from another controversial coach - Somalian Jama Aden. And he could now face renewed pressure to do something similar with a man who we now know Usada is still looking into.
This could also be awkward for Salazar's employers Nike - and for UK Athletics; not least how they came to clear Salazar in 2015 - even though it now seems one of their senior medics - Dr John Rogers - says he had raised concerns to them over the coach's methods. | A driver was killed when his car came off a motorway in Kent and hit an embankment.

The personal banking website is not allowing customers to log on, while business accounts are running slowly.
On Tuesday afternoon, HSBC said it was getting closer to solving the problem, which affected online accounts for up to nine hours on Monday.
A spokesperson said it was "a complex technical issue within our systems".
The bank is running tests across its servers to try and identify the exact problem, and said that its IT team had been working "non-stop" since yesterday to find a solution.
HSBC said it was not a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack and was not caused by anything external.
"This is not a cyber-attack or any other malicious act," said John Hackett, HSBC's UK chief operating officer.
The bank said its mobile app for personal customers was still functioning.
In total, HSBC has 17 million account-holders in the UK.
Business customers were experiencing "significantly reduced capacity", with all services running much more slowly than normal, the bank said.
Customers of HSBC's subsidiary, First Direct, are not affected.
HSBC said that no customers would lose out as a result of the issue.
"Any fees customers incur as a result of this outage period will be waived," said Mr Hackett.
Nevertheless, angry customers took to Twitter to complain. One described the situation as "shocking disgraceful customer service".
Others said they had been charged a £5 daily overdraft fee, but were unable to put money into their accounts.
Sam Middleton-Bray, from Hampshire, said she had had difficulty getting information about what was happening.
"It's incredibly frustrating and we're not getting a lot of information from HSBC other than their brief messages on Twitter. Their website says to call the 0345 number, but I called it yesterday three times and got an engaged tone," she told the BBC.
One or two customers complained that the mobile app was not working either, despite HSBC's assurances.
HSBC was hit by a previous IT glitch in August 2015, which prevented 275,000 payments going through just ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend.
One senior MP called on the boss of the bank to make sure such failures are not repeated.
"The frequency of these failures across the financial services sector suggests a systemic weakness in IT infrastructure. This is concerning." said Andrew Tyrie, the head of the Treasury Select Committee.
"I will be asking the chief executive of HSBC, and the regulators, for an explanation of these failures and action taken to sort them out. They just keep coming."
HSBC customers affected by the problem are being advised to use the automated telephone banking service, on 03457 404 404. Business customers should call 03457 60 60 60.
Those with business accounts are usually restricted to transferring a maximum of £10,000 via telephone banking, but this limit has been raised to £100,000.
Otherwise, customers should go to their local branch, HSBC said.
The Severn Rivers Trust will create a fish pass on the Teme at the Mill Street weir in Ludlow.
It will increase the spawning potential for Atlantic salmon, which can currently only cross the weir in very high water flows, the trust said.
Trout, bullhead, eel, grayling and dace will also benefit from the pass.
The pass is a Larinier design, which is a set of baffles or plates on a slope shallower than that of the existing weir, meaning the fish can swim up it.
It will give fish access to a further 85km (53 miles) of river above the weir.
Chief executive Tony Bostock said it was "a fantastic opportunity to greatly increase all fish species throughout the Teme catchment".
The funding has been provided by Sita Trust, which awards grants through the Landfill Communities Fund.
The company said the fall in sterling since the EU referendum, had boosted exports, enabling it to cut prices.
Asos, which targets people in their twenties, now has more than five million active customers in the UK.
Profits for the six months to the end of February rose by 14% to £27.3m. Sales hit £889.2m, a rise of 31%.
UK retail sales rose by 18% and international sales leapt by 42%.
"As a net exporter, sterling weakness has created a FX tailwind for the business which has enabled investment above previously planned levels into both price and proposition," said chief executive, Nick Beighton.
As a result, Asos said it expected full-year retail sales to rise by between 30 and 35%. Previously it said it expected sales to go up by 25-30%.
However, its gross profit margin fell because of the price cutting, and its full-year profit before tax is predicted to be "broadly in line with market consensus".
Its shares fell by more than 6% in early trade, before recovering some ground. At lunchtime they down by nearly 4%.
Asos now has a total of 14.1 million active customers worldwide, up from 10.9 million in February of last year. It sells more than 85,000 products all over the world. As well as the UK site, it also has local websites in the US, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia and Russia.
In February, its websites were visited 127 million times.
"Things have been pretty bleak for the UK's High Street retailers recently, which may be in part due to the sustained success of online giants like ASOS," said George Salmon, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
"ASOS' market cap now exceeds that of several FTSE 100 companies. However, with plenty of untapped potential across Europe and the US, the king of the AIM market [a junior stock market] has plenty of gas left in the tank, and looks set to continue its impressive record of double digit sales growth for years to come," he added.
Signed letters from the world champion boxer were slipped under the door of the players' hotel rooms, the morning of the 2002 championship final.
Hugh Campbell had been recruited as part of the Armagh coaching staff in 2002 by manager, Joe Kernan.
Despite no prior background in Gaelic games, Hugh specialised in sports psychology.
After reading "The Fight", by Norman Mailer, a book which documented the build up to the famous Muhammad Ali and George Foreman fight in 1974, Hugh began using Ali's quotes and stories throughout the season to inspire the players.
He said: "At the time Ali was a huge underdog and most thought that Foreman would be too strong for him.
"So much so, that they actually feared for his safety.
"Ali, however, had a contrasting attitude and was even dancing in the changing room moments before the fight.
"Like Ali, Armagh at the time were huge underdogs and were seen to always fall at the final hurdle having lost a few semi-finals in the previous years.
"I wanted to get it through to them that it was just a label and often used Ali as an example of overcoming it."
Hugh, however, didn't want to 'sicken' the players about Muhammad Ali and chose his moments carefully when to refer to him.
When Armagh made it to the final, he thought it would be a 'massive boost' if he could get Ali to somehow deliver them a message.
"My next door neighbour is a TV producer and she got me the number of Ali's organisation", he said.
"I didn't have much hope in him actually replying but figured it was worth a shot and gave them a ring.
"They were incredibly warm and helpful, so I put together a portfolio about Armagh, sending them newspaper clippings, photos and a jersey to try to give them an idea of how big an event it is, as I know they wouldn't hear anything about it over there.
"When they rang to tell me that they would send letters to each player with Muhammad Ali's signature, I was electrified.
"The evening before the match I didn't tell the players about the letter as I wanted to surprise them in the morning, but in my presentation I did ask say 'If Ali was here in his prime right now, what do you think he would say to you?'
"Amazingly one of the players thought the letter was a joke and threw it in the bin, before realising it was real and had to go rummaging for it."
The coaching staff didn't want the letter to become a sideshow and distract the players, but simply give them the boost they needed.
They took extra care to do everything discreetly and that's why the Armagh backroom staff got in touch again in 2003.
"Ali sent another letter the following year", Hugh added.
"Once again, we made it to the final and he sent us another letter saying that we defied the critics by being the defending champs.
"When we lost, Ali's wife rang me to tell me that he wanted to know what happened and to deliver a personal message to me.
"That message was 'keep going' and they later sent me back the jersey I had sent them, this time with Ali's signature and I have it proudly hung up and framed."
Steven McDonnell, who kicked the winning score in 2002, said: "Ali is the greatest sports person of all time, you just have to look at boxing then compared to now to see the difference he made.
"As a sports fan, I always have been interested in the man, but when the coaches, Hugh Campbell and Des Jennings, started using his quotes and stories to motivate us throughout the 2002 season, I really started to get inspired by him.
"Joe Kernan identified our weaknesses as well as our strengths and a big weakness he saw was a lack of belief in ourselves.
"Ali always believed that he was the greatest and we wanted to be the greatest.
"His letter helped us believe that we were.
"I have a lot of jerseys, medals and memorabilia collected over my career but that letter certainly has the most sentimental value."
The 'Greatest' had experienced GAA sports first hand in 1972, during his visit to Dublin.
He received lessons from Kilkenny hurling legend, Eddie Keher, but said: "They look pretty rough these football and hurling players - I think I'll just stick to boxing."
The man's daughter, seven, is in a stable condition after the incident at Killowen Primary School in Lisburn.
It is understood that school staff used a defibrillator on the man, 36, and he was resuscitated at the scene.
He was taken to Lisburn's Lagan Valley Hospital before being moved to the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald.
The children were taken to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children and are thought to have suffered burn injuries.
Fiona Douglas, the school's principal, said that staff and parents treated the family before the emergency services arrived.
"Following this all other pupils, accompanied by staff, went safely to nearby Laurel Hill Community College, where they were collected by parents," she said.
"The thoughts of the entire school community are with the family at this time."
According to the school's website, a sports day was held on Tuesday for children aged four to seven.
Parents arriving to pick up their children were visibly distressed by what had happened.
The school will be closed on Wednesday.
Social Democratic and Labour Party councillor Pat Catney said people were "stunned" by the news of the injuries to the family.
"This is an absolute tragedy" he said.
"We have to think of the family.
"I'm thinking of the young father and the children who were injured as well.
"There's no preparing for an incident of this nature - it was just one of those freak, tragic accidents that has stunned me and shocked me."
Mr Catney praised police and the ambulance service who had "responded very quickly".
He also paid tribute to parents and teachers at the school who had helped to direct traffic and ensure that children were able to leave safely.
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said it arrived seven minutes after receiving a report just before 14:00 BST that a man had been struck by lightning.
It said people should "remain very vigilant when they are out and about" due to the possibility of more thunderstorms.

A new book claimed the then home secretary failed to support plans to curb EU immigrants coming into Britain.
It claims Mrs May urged Mr Cameron not to demand an "emergency brake" in 2014 for fear of upsetting other EU leaders.
But supporters of the prime minister say she wrote to Mr Cameron twice to make the case for such a measure.
Iain Watson, BBC political correspondent, said sources close to Mrs May had now taken the "unusual step" of releasing details of private correspondence between her and Mr Cameron.
Our correspondent said those close to Mrs May had calculated it is "politically important to rebut the suggestion that she took a softer line on immigration".
According to the book - All Out War, by Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman - Mr Cameron had wanted to push for a so-called emergency brake as part of his EU renegotiation.
Such a measure could have convinced voters he would be able to reduce immigration if Britain remained in the EU, it argued.
However, the book claims the former prime minister was persuaded against doing so by Mrs May and then foreign secretary Philip Hammond, now the chancellor.
Analysis, BBC deputy political editor John Pienaar
"Lily-livered May" are not words Downing Street wants to see in the same headline in a national newspaper. Not ever.
Seeing them as the prime minister embarks on a nerve-testing game of chicken with European leaders, as she tries to negotiate new relationships outside the EU, was guaranteed to have Theresa May and her team choking on their cornflakes.
Team May could simply not afford to leave unchallenged the suggestion she baulked at the idea of seeking an "emergency brake" on EU migration for fear of upsetting the German chancellor.
Satisfying the public demand for a tough line on migration - the single greatest influence underlying the vote to leave the EU - will be tough enough. Any suspicion the prime minister lacks the stomach for the fight could make that task far harder.
So the rebuttal was swift.

Mrs May feared demanding such a measure would upset German Chancellor Angela Merkel, it says.
Mr Shipman quoted an aide to Mr Cameron as saying: "Hammond spoke first and argued we just couldn't do something that would receive an immediate raspberry in Europe.
"Theresa said very, very little, and simply said that we just couldn't go against Merkel."
The book said a "visibly deflated" Mr Cameron was said to have turned to one official and said: "I can't do it without their support. If it wasn't for my lily-livered cabinet colleagues...."
However, according to details released by Mrs May's camp, she twice wrote to Mr Cameron - in November 2014 and May 2015 - arguing for an emergency brake.
The first letter came a week before Mr Cameron was due to give a key speech on Europe.
In it, she is said to have proposed an emergency brake as part of a series of measures to rebalance the rights of citizens to move within the EU.
Sources said she argued it would allow national governments to act in the best interests of their resident populations.
In the second letter, she is said to have argued that an emergency brake was crucial to cutting numbers and convincing the public the government was capable of policing its own borders.
Sources close to the prime minister have defended their decision to release details of the letters, but said they would not be publishing them.
One source told the BBC: "We are not going to attempt to justify our media strategy. We are very happy to explain the facts."
They also pointed to articles from 2013 and 2014 in which Mrs May called for reforms to freedom of movement.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Tim Shipman said his account was based on the testimony of two aides to Mr Cameron.
He added: "Everything Downing Street are putting out is wholly consistent with what I've written and they are not in any way disputing the details of what happened in that meeting."
It comes after a second book - by former Downing Street director of communications Sir Craig Oliver - claimed Mr Cameron felt "badly let down" by Mrs May during the EU referendum campaign.
Sir Craig said the former home secretary failed to back the Remain campaign 13 times and was regarded by some as "an enemy agent".
However, former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith urged Remain campaigners to "get behind Theresa May instead of carping".
"Craig Oliver's is one of a growing number of foolish attempts by ex-government Remainers who lost to shift responsibility for their failure.
"The grown-up thing for them to do, instead of carping, is to show some humility and get behind Theresa May as she seeks to get back control of migration with the EU as we leave," he said in a statement.
John O'Dowd had planned to introduce new legislation that would give parents more control over when their children began their primary school education.
However, he has now said there is not enough time to pass the legislation before the next assembly elections.
Campaigners who lobbied for the change have criticised Mr O'Dowd's "U-turn".
They include the campaign group, ParentsOutLoud, and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) education union.
Mark Langhammer of ATL said: "This move by the minister beggars belief. We were told by his department a few months ago that the preparatory work on the legislation was well advanced.
"Officials have also detailed to us the key legislative changes which the department believes need to be made - and those appear to be few in number and very straightforward."
"This simple and highly popular measure would have benefited thousands of children and improved educational outcomes," Mr Langhammer added.
At present in Northern Ireland, children who reach the age of four on or between 1 September and 1 July in the same school year, have to start school at the beginning of the next school year.
Children whose birthdays fall between 2 July and 31 August in the same calendar year have to start school in the September following their fifth birthday.
Brenda Pierse, whose son Emmet is due to celebrate his fourth birthday in June, said he is not ready to start school.
Emmet's birthday falls two weeks before the 1 July cut-off point, meaning he will have to begin primary school in September.
Mrs Pierse said her son is already struggled at the pre-school centre he is attending. She said Emmet would benefit far more from a further year in a pre-school setting, as opposed to starting formal school.
She added that she was "bitterly disappointed" that the proposed legislation has been postponed.
In a statement, the minister said: "Given the limited assembly scrutiny time available, it is not likely this legislation could be passed in the current assembly mandate.
"I have had to prioritise legislation being brought forward focusing on the commitments I have given at Stormont House and to my assembly colleagues.
"I understand there will be some disappointment, however, the current consultation provides an important starting point and will help inform the interim guidance which I intend to publish in the coming months," Mr O'Dowd added.
Arconic said it was discontinuing sales of Reynobond PE for tower blocks due to "issues" identified by the fire, which is feared to have killed at least 79.
The government said 75 buildings in 26 council areas had now failed fire safety tests - every one tested so far.
Theresa May said councils need to speed up tower block safety tests in England.
Communities and Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid said all hospitals and schools had also been asked to carry out "immediate checks".
He said the fact all tested samples had failed the so-called combustibility test underlined the "vital importance of submitting samples urgently".
"The testing facility can analyse 100 samples a day and runs around the clock. I am concerned at the speed at which samples are being submitted.
"I would urge all landlords to submit their samples immediately," Mr Javid told the House of Commons.
Four more Grenfell fire victims' inquests have been opened and adjourned, including that of a boy aged five.
The body of Isaac Paulos, who lived with his family on the 18th floor, was found on the 13th floor, Westminster Coroner's Court was told.
A preliminary cause of his death was given as "inhalation of fire fumes".
The inquests of Mary Ajaoi Augustus Mendy, 54, her daughter Khadija Saye, 24, and Mohamednur Tuccu, 44, were also opened.
Questions about the cladding used on Grenfell Tower, in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea, were raised in the days after the fire.
Engineering and manufacturing company Arconic later confirmed Reynobond PE (polyethylene) - an aluminium composite material - was "used as one component in the overall cladding system" of the block.
The material has a plastic core, which it is feared may have helped accelerate the spread of the fire.
In a fresh statement, the firm said it had stopped sales of Reynobond PE for tall buildings, citing concerns about the "inconsistency of building codes across the world".
Following the Grenfell Tower fire, issues have arisen "regarding code compliance of cladding systems", it added.
Cladding from as many as 600 tower blocks across England is being tested for safety.
Housing minister Alok Sharma told the BBC Radio 4's Today Programme some councils were acting "very quickly".
Mr Sharma added: "People should not wait for the checks to come back from these (tests).
"They should act now, get the fire service in, check the buildings that they think may be affected, put in place mitigation measures, if required, or, as in the case of Camden, if they need to evacuate, that needs to happen."
Insulation and cladding taken from Grenfell Tower failed preliminary safety tests last week.
Despite the prime minister promising to rehouse all of the tower block's residents within three weeks, Mr Javid says this might not be possible.
"For example...some of the families have first asked for something in Kensington as close as possible to where they lived but then when they have been shown the home and they see the tower and what is left of it, they have changed their minds and quite understandably said, 'Look, we would like to have some other options,'" he said.
Mr Javid added the government was working at the residents' pace and promised they would be made offers of housing within the three week time period.
Over the weekend, Camden Council moved to evacuate 650 flats from four tower blocks in the Swiss Cottage area, after London Fire Brigade had raised concerns about cladding, gas pipe insulation, and fire doors.
Mr Javid told MPs more than 1,000 fire doors were missing from five blocks in the Camden borough and a number of stairways were not accessible.
Some 103 households are currently refusing to leave the tower blocks, the BBC understands - an increase on Saturday when 83 households remained.
The apparent increase suggests some families have returned home since the weekend despite the warning.
Residents on Colonsay have been intrigued by the three carcasses with some suggesting they could be polar bears washed down from the Arctic.
But scientists at the Scottish Marine Animal Strandings Scheme said they were more likely to be marine animals.
They said decomposing blubber has a fur-like appearance.
The Friends of Colonsay Facebook page has carried a series of photographs of the remains, which look like they are covered in dirty white fur.
The group speculated on the possibility of the remains being those of bears, but has since acknowledged the scientists' explanation.
Inverness-based SMAS carries out examinations of whales, dolphins and other large marine animals found washed up on Scottish beaches.
On the Colonsay discoveries, it said: "We have had a number of these sort of cases over the years, and are confident that these are highly autolysed cetacean carcases.
"The 'fur' referred to is decomposing blubber, which becomes stringy in appearance as the lipids from the blubber are drained into the sand.
"Once the bones are exposed we may be able to identify these animals to a species level with help from the experts at the National Museum of Scotland."
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which has three polar bears at its Highland Wildlife Park, has also said it did not believe the remains to be those of bears.
Six years ago, RSPB Scotland did an April Fool's Day joke about a polar bear being washed up on the Isle of Mull to highlight concerns about climate change.
Though not reaching as far as Scotland, polar bears are known to stray far from their usual range.
Earlier this year, a polar bear was shot dead in northern Iceland, the first such incident of its kind since 2010.
The female bear came within 500 metres of an inhabited farm before it was shot by a marksman.
Some 2,000 girls in the city are thought to be at risk of FGM, which can cause fatal blood infections, urinary incontinence and chronic pain.
It is illegal for British nationals or permanent residents to be taken to another country for the procedure.
However, girls are regularly taken abroad to undergo FGM during the summer.
FGM is carried out in more than 28 countries, including those in Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Africa, including Somalia and Sudan.
According to the city council, Bristol is thought to have the UK's third largest Somali population, outside London and Birmingham.
Aiding and abetting the crime can lead to 14 years in prison, but there is yet to be a prosecution in the UK.
Dave McCallum used to lead the public protection unit of Avon and Somerset Police and is a trustee of Integrate Bristol, a charity that helps young people from other countries integrate and adapt.
He said: "The whole process needs to work for the police to get the information they need to act upon.
"Members of the community have not been passing this on as they really ought to."
Nimco Ali, co-founder of campaign group Daughters of Eve, agreed communities were not reporting FGM.
She said the organisation worked to try and make senior figures in the public sector take the problem seriously.
"The onus falls on the public sector as opposed to waiting for those who are perpetuating the crime to report the crime themselves," she said.
"The community haven't changed their position on FGM, they say it's something they're going to carry on doing."
The woman, 19, was found at City Warehouse ApartHotel on Great Ancoats Street, Manchester, at about 06:30 GMT.
Greater Manchester Police said they are concerned about any others who may have taken the pills and have advised them to seek medical attention.
Supt Stephen Howard said: "Even if you took it some hours ago this pill could be seriously harming your health."
The charges relate to alleged "historical" incidents, police in the Australian state of Victoria said on Thursday.
The allegations were made by more than one person, said Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton.
Cardinal Pell has consistently and vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
The Vatican treasurer, who is based in Rome, will be required to face the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 18 July, police said.
Representatives for the Catholic Church in Australia did not immediately return a request for comment.
Victoria Police made the decision to charge Cardinal Pell after receiving advice from prosecutors last month.
Deputy Commissioner Patton said police "process and procedures" had been no different from any other investigation.
"Cardinal Pell has been treated the same as anyone else in this investigation," he said.
Details of the allegations were not revealed.
The charges were served on Cardinal Pell's legal representatives in Melbourne on Thursday.
Smith's debut In The Lonely Hour passed one million sales in the UK in the past 24 hours, according to the Official Charts Company.
Nielsen Music confirmed that Smith had sold a million copies of his record in the US on Wednesday.
In America, only Sam Smith, Taylor Swift and the Frozen soundtrack have passed the million mark this year.
In The Lonely Hour is the second album to pass a million sales in the UK this year after Ed Sheeran's X, which achieved the figure in November.
Sam Smith told OfficialCharts.com: "Officially sold one million copies of In The Lonely Hour. To say I am ecstatic is a huge understatement.
"Thank you so much to every single person who has purchased my album."
2014 is also the first year since 2011 when more than one album has passed one million sales in the UK.
In 2011, Adele's 21 and 19, Michael Buble's Christmas and Bruno Mars' Doo-Wops & Hooligans all passed the mark.
In The Lonely Hour became the fastest-selling debut album of the year in the UK when it went straight in at number one on the Official Albums Chart in May with first week sales of 102,000.
It spent a second week at the top before returning for another fortnight 12 weeks later.
Sam Smith's album includes number one singles Money On My Mind and Stay With Me, as well as Top 10s I'm Not The Only One (number three) and Like I Can (nine).
Tracks downloaded from his album total 2.48 million, have been streamed 87 million times and viewed on video streaming sites in the UK 48 million times.

Weeks after details of the US Prism programme first leaked, some of the details of what it entails have been confirmed but others have yet to be clarified, and may not do so for years to come.
What is Prism?
A surveillance system launched in 2007 by the US National Security Agency (NSA).
A leaked Powerpoint presentation, dated April 2013, states that it allows the organisation to "receive" emails, video clips, photos, voice and video calls, social networking details, logins and other data held by a range of US internet firms.
One of the slides names the companies as: Microsoft and its Skype division; Google and its YouTube division; Yahoo; Facebook, AOL, Apple and PalTalk - a lesser known chat service owned by AVM Software.
The presentation says the programme costs $20m (£13m) a year to run and is designed to overcome earlier "constraints" in the NSA's counterterrorism data collection efforts.
Details of the initiative were first published by the Guardian and the Washington Post newspapers on 6 June.
Late that day the US director of national intelligence confirmed the initiative's existence and declassified some information about it.
James Clapper said that there were "strict, court-imposed restrictions" on how the data was handled and that only a "very small fraction" of the information was ever reviewed as most of it was not "responsive" to anti-terrorism efforts.
A 1978 law - the Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance Act (Fisa) - had set out the conditions under which a special three-judge court would authorise electronic surveillance if people were believed to be engaged in espionage or planning an attack against the US on behalf of a foreign power.
Following the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration secretly gave the NSA permission to bypass the court and carry out warrantless surveillance of al-Qaeda suspects and others.
After this emerged in 2005, Congress voted to both offer immunity to the firms that had co-operated with the NSA's requests and to make amendments to Fisa.
The relaxation to the rules, introduced in 2008, meant officials could now obtain court orders without having to identify each individual target or detail the specific types of communications they intended to monitor so long as they convinced the court their purpose was to gather "foreign intelligence information".
In addition they no longer had to confirm both the sender and receiver of the messages were outside the US, but now only had to show it was "reasonable" to believe one of the parties was outside the country.
Details of the programme were leaked by Edward Snowden, a 30-year-old who had formerly worked as a technical assistant to the US Central Intelligence Agency.
He has since been charged in the US with theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information and wilful communication of classified communications intelligence.
Mr Snowden initially moved to Hong Kong, but its government says he left the city voluntarily on 23 June. There have been conflicting media reports about where he has gone.
Officials say that Prism cannot be used to "intentionally target any US citizen, any other US person, or anyone located within the United States".
According to the Washington Post, the NSA identifies suspect communications using search terms designed to give it a 51% confidence rating that the target is foreign.
The paper says the queries are then checked by the FBI to ensure no US citizen is named as a target.
Once this is done and a suspect identified, it says that anyone that person has contacted or been contacted by can also become subject for review and then, in turn, everyone in the inbox and outbox of this extended group may also be targeted.
On 20 June the Guardian published a document spelling out the precautions the NSA is supposed to take to minimise the risk of inadvertently examining data about US citizens and residents.
It says that if officials discover details about US persons they should either pass them onto domestic law enforcement or destroy them "at the earliest practicable point". The exception to this is if the data is encrypted.
But some experts have questioned whether such safeguards are effective.
"The only way you can be reasonably be sure that somebody is a resident of a particular country from their email is to go and read all of their stuff," says Ross Anderson, professor of security engineering at the University of Cambridge's Computer Laboratory.
"The NSA appears to be claiming magical powers for itself with claims it can search automatically through large numbers of webmail inboxes and pull out the right material, because even the webmail companies have said in most cases they can't figure out the nationality, residence and domicile of a user without getting a person to look through their stuff."
Even assuming the NSA checks are adequate, that still leaves overseas residents who use services provided by the named tech companies as potential targets.
President Barack Obama has sought to offer reassurance by saying US security services are not "rifling through the ordinary emails" of German, French or other citizens, but are rather following a "circumscribed, narrow system".
One of the leaked slides says that "collection [of data was] directly from the servers" of the US tech firms.
Initial reports suggested that the NSA did in fact extract the data via special equipment they had installed on the companies' computers which acted as a "back door".
However, the tech firms issued statements denying that they provided "direct access".
The New York Times then suggested that the companies had created the digital equivalent of "locked mailboxes" - secure areas on their networks onto which they copied the requested files for the agency to inspect.
However, Google later denied this in an interview with Wired magazine.
It said it had complied with court-ordered requests by either sending data over secure FTP (file transfer protocol) - an encrypted transmission sent from its computers to the authorities' - or by physically handing over the information "in person".
The other tech firms have not been as specific.
Although several of the tech firms involved said they had never heard of Prism before the newspaper reports, they have provided limited information about how they handle national security requests.
Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo and Facebook have all published figures giving a rough indication of the total number of requests they have received from law enforcement agencies over a period of time.
However, they say they are not able to provide a figure for Fisa-related requests alone as this data remains classified.
By contrast, Google declines to provide an aggregated figure saying this would mark a "step back" for its users.
The firm already sub-divides the different kinds of government requests it receives into different groups - including the number of national security-related letters received from the FBI.
Its figures do not include requests from the NSA. It says to do so would involve "lumping together" the Fisa requests with those related to other cases which it says would be less transparent.
Security researcher Ashkan Soltani has posted a blog saying there are still five key unanswered questions about Prism:
NSA director Keith Alexander says that his agency's communication surveillance programmes have helped prevent more than 50 "potential terrorist events" since 9/11.
He adds that at least 10 of those had been set to take place in the US, but says that some details need to remain classified to ensure the efforts remained effective.
President Obama adds that: "You can't have 100% security, and also then have 100% privacy and zero inconvenience."
The Guardian says it has obtained official documents that state "special programmes for GCHQ exist for focused Prism processing" - suggesting that spies at the UK's Government Communications Headquarters are making use of data sourced from the US tech firms.
The newspaper says that in the year to May 2012, the British agency was able to generate 197 intelligence reports as a result. These would normally be passed on to the MI5 and MI6 intelligence agencies, it says.
Foreign Secretary William Hague says that law-abiding citizens have "nothing to be worried about".
The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg adds that there are "exacting checks and balances in the way in which all intelligence agencies access information".
But Labour's shadow defence secretary Douglas Alexander says the government needs to be more open about the subject.
Professor Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity consultant who has worked for the UK government, suggests at the very least it should put limits on how long the information can be stored.
"Regimes do change and you don't want your data to be misused by any future government," he says.
"The key to that is how long the data is kept for. The reassurance needs to be that the data is not kept for any more than a reasonable amount of time - perhaps a couple of years."
Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee says it will receive a full report on the matter from GCHQ shortly and will then decide what action to take.
The EU's justice commissioner, Viviane Reding, says she has concerns that firms complying with Prism-related requests might be handing over data in breach of European citizens' data privacy rights.
As a consequence the US has agreed to set up a joint working group to examine the issue.
China's government says it is "gravely concerned" by other recently disclosed US "cyber attacks" on its citizens. The country's official news agency, Xinhua, says the affair proves the US is the "biggest villain in our age" while the South China Morning Post accuses Washington of "hypocrisy".
However, Russian President Vladimir Putin says that this kind of surveillance is "becoming a global phenomenon" and a practical way to fight terrorism.
Freedom Watch, a Florida-based activist group, is suing various government agencies and the tech companies involved, claiming that Prism violates the US constitution.
But the White House says that the programme is legal under the Fisa amendments first passed by Congress in 2008 and then renewed in 2012. These are not due to expire until 2017.
There have, however, been suggestions that US firms could face lawsuits in the EU for complying with the requests.
The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has issued a statement saying: "Aspects of US law under which companies can be compelled to provide information to US agencies potentially conflict with European data-protection law, including the UK's own Data Protection Act."
Finland's communications minister Pia Viitanen has also raised concerns.
However, researchers at the University of Amsterdam suggest that national security exemptions mean the firms have a valid legal defence.
Far from it.
The Guardian has published details of another Fisa-sanctioned programme which demanded US phone network provider Verizon hand over phone records belonging to millions of its customers to the NSA. The US director of national intelligence says this was limited to "telephony metadata" including the numbers dialled and length of calls but not the contents of the conversations. Even so, the American Civil Liberties Association has filed a lawsuit against the government claiming it was in breach of the US Constitution.
The leaked Powerpoint slides also point to a separate effort to collect "communications on fibre cables and infrastructure as data flows past", in other words as it travels across the internet. The Guardian has reported that GCHQ is doing something similar as part of a project codenamed Tempora, and says the agency is storing collected data for up to 30 days. Germany's justice minister describes the claims as "nightmarish".
And Reuters has reported that the US government is now the biggest buyer of malware, noting that the NSA declines to comment on its own role in buying such tools because of the "sensitivity" of the topic.
Richard Cox - a security specialist who previously worked in the UK's telecoms industry - warns the appearance of being over-zealous could prove self-defeating.
"Trust is vital - if the intelligence agencies appear to be overstepping the bounds of trust then there will be distrust," he says.
"We need greater oversight of the mechanisms being used so that we know they are being used in accordance with the law and so that we don't have to restrict officials' capabilities which might harm our security."
Several websites have published advice on how to avoid Prism's reach. Suggestions include:
But the University of Cambridge's Prof Anderson says the NSA can still overcome such measures.
"It won't break the encryption, but will put malware on your phone or laptop," he says.
"If you come to the attention of the NSA it will simply compromise the end devices."
Security consultant Prof Woodward agrees a certain amount of paranoia is justified, but adds that concerns need to be put in context.
"You should assume other countries are trying to spy on you - that's what they do," he says.
"Because of the way the internet has developed much of it is based in the States, so Americans have a prime opportunity.
"One of the comforts that the British have about the Americans and vice-versa is that we've been working hand-in-glove since 1946 sharing the material.
"But this doesn't mean the British intelligence services can get round local legislation and go to the Americans for information they've gathered on a UK citizen.
"That is still illegal. If they want information collected by an ally they still have to go through the legal process."

The proposals for North Wales Hospital in Denbigh have been put forward by Prince's Regeneration Trust.
Denbighshire council won a compulsory purchase order earlier this year from the site's owners amid concerns about the Grade II-listed building.
Freemont (Denbigh) Ltd is expected to retain ownership until early 2017.
Subject to the change of ownership, Denbighshire council plans to hand over the former Victorian asylum to North Wales Buildings Preservation Trust.
It will operate as a not-for-profit organisation raising the money to preserve the listed buildings on the site via its "enabling development" plans, with profits made from the sale of new properties elsewhere on the site.
Freemont bought the hospital site in 2003 following its closure in 1996.
Planning permission was granted in 2006 for a redevelopment scheme but it has since expired and no work was carried out.
In 2015, the council spent £900,000 on emergency repairs in a bid to protect it from deterioration.
Freemont, which is based in the British Virgin Isles, had opposed the compulsory purchase, while Ayub Bhailok, speaking on the company's behalf, called the latest plans "flawed and unsustainable".
On Wednesday, Denbighshire council's planning committee approved the latest proposals.
Ward councillor Colin Hughes said the development would "be very good for the town", bringing an increase in residents and visitors.
"The importance of this development to the future of Denbigh is immeasurable," he said.
"Nothing has happened here apart from deterioration in the last 21 years," he added, referring to the building itself which, he said, had played a large part of people's lives in the past.
"As it is now it is absolutely useless to us."
The killings by members of the Parachute Regiment took place in Ballymurphy over a three-day period in August 1971.
A preliminary inquest hearing has been scheduled for 30 November.
But it will not be completed unless the Coroner's Courts service is given additional funding.
The decision to prioritise the Ballymurphy deaths follows a review of more than 50 so-called legacy inquests, involving more than 90 deaths in some of the most controversial incidents of the Troubles.
They include killings by police officers and soldiers, and others where there are allegations of collusion.
The Lord Chief Justice, Sir Declan Morgan, has written to the families of the Ballymurphy victims informing them that their inquest is deemed to be at an advanced stage of readiness.
Those killed included a mother-of-eight and a priest.
A solicitor representing the families has welcomed the scheduling of a hearing date, but stressed that this does not mean the inquest will be completed at this time.
"The families have received notification that the inquest has been prioritised by the Lord Chief Justice," said Padraig Ó Muirigh.
"However, he was very clear that this doesn't mean that the inquest can be completed at this time.
"He warned earlier this year that legacy inquests can't be completed unless extra funding is made available and that position hasn't changed."
The decision means the Ballymurphy inquest will be among the first to be heard if the Stormont Executive or Westminster government agree to a request from Sir Declan Morgan for additional funding for the coroner's court service.
The Lord Chief Justice has drawn up a five-year plan to hear all outstanding legacy inquests.
It has been estimated that the cost would be at least £10m.
His request for additional funding has been blocked by First Minister Arlene Foster.
The BBC revealed on Thursday that lawyers acting for families of more than 30 people killed in some of the most controversial incidents of the Troubles have launched legal action in an attempt to have the funding released.
They are seeking a court order instructing the Stormont Executive, department of justice and Westminster government to give the Lord Chief Justice the resources he has requested.
A hearing for a judicial review application has been listed for 14 December.
The impressions were made when some of our distant relatives walked together across wet volcanic ash.
Their makers, most likely Australopithecus afarensis, appear to have had a wide range of body sizes.
Scientists say this gives clues to how this ancient species of human lived.
Australopithecus afarensis is one of the longest-lived and best-known early human species.
The fossil of "Lucy", a young adult female who lived in Ethiopia 3.2 million years ago, is perhaps the most famous individual.
The newly discovered footprints may have been made by a male walking with smaller females.
"This novel evidence, taken as a whole with the previous findings, portrays several early hominins moving as a group through the landscape following a volcanic eruption and subsequent rainfall. But there is more," said lead researcher Prof Giorgio Manzi, director of the archaeological project in Tanzania.
"The footprints of one of the new individuals are astonishingly larger than anyone else's in the group, suggesting that he was a large male member of the species.
"In fact, the 165cm stature indicated by his footprints makes him the largest Australopithecus specimen identified to date."
In 1976, preserved footprints thought to be made by Australopithecus were discovered at a site in Laetoli, Tanzania.
At 3.66 million years old, they are the oldest documented bipedal footprint trails.
Now, the discovery of a second set of footprints has been revealed in the journal, eLife.
"Now that we've found a new set of footprints it opens up a completely different window and there could be a number of new possibilities to study what is a photograph in time of the everyday life of this species," said Jacopo Moggi-Cecchi of the University of Florence.
The tracks were found during excavations for a museum only 150m south of the original discovery.
The researchers, based in Italy and Tanzania, think the two sets could belong together, giving clues to the lifestyle of Australopithecus.
"A tentative conclusion is that the group consisted of one male, two or three females, and one or two juveniles, which leads us to believe that the male - and therefore other males in the species - had more than one female mate," said Dr Marco Cherin, director of the school of paleoanthropology at the University of Perugia.
The finding of a male perhaps walking with several females could mean their social structure was "closer to a gorilla-like model than to chimpanzees or modern humans".
In gorillas, one male and a number of females form a mating and child-rearing group.
The study also raises questions about how human feet were made for walking.
Australopithecus were capable of walking upright on two legs, but we don't know how much they resembled modern humans in the way they walked.
Prof Robin Crompton of the University of Liverpool, who is not connected to the study, said the latest footprints will give more information, once statistical work is done.
"Some people have argued that they have a slightly different gait, but I don't think there's any good evidence for that," he told BBC News.
"If humans have been walking the same way as we do now for more or less 3.65 million years, and human ancestors - in another genus - Australopithecus - then that's really fairly exciting."

Witnesses said the militants opened fire on soldiers after arriving in pick-up trucks. Other reports said they came on motorbikes and on foot.
One report said Malian soldiers fled the attack; another said troops fought back and clashes lasted several hours.
The militants have been fighting the Malian army for a number of years.
The latest phase of the insurgency began after a French-led military intervention in January 2013, aimed at driving out Islamist militants from towns they had seized in northern Mali and declared to be an "Islamic state".
The French military action dispersed but did not destroy the extremists and sporadic attacks have continued.
Nampala is about 550 kilometres (340 miles) north-east of the Malian capital, Bamako.
A defence ministry spokesman said the army had sent reinforcements to Nampala, following the latest attack.
There were conflicting reports on whether the militants had subsequently been expelled or were still present in the town.
The mayor of the neighbouring district of Diabaly, Oumar Diakite, said seven soldiers had been killed.
A military source at the United Nations mission in Mali put the number of deaths at five.
He said the identity of those killed had not been confirmed but "they were all wearing military fatigues".
The attack came less than a month after Mali confirmed it had freed four Islamist militants in exchange for the release of a French hostage, Serge Lazarevic.
Mr Lazarevic was seized by armed men in Mali in 2011 and had been the last French hostage in the region being held by al-Qaeda-linked militants.
Those released in the prisoner exchange included two Malian members of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) who allegedly took part in Mr Lazarevic's abduction.
The other two militants released were believed to be a Tunisian and a man from Western Sahara.
Amber Rudd told the Home Affairs Select Committee the inquiry must "look at the historic element of these abuses".
She also said that criticisms from the inquiry's former chairwoman, who wrote to the committee, were "not correct".
Justice Lowell Goddard's letter said the inquiry should focus on current child protection and future changes.
The inquiry was set up in 2014 and announced that 13 initial investigations would look into allegations against local authorities, religious organisations, the armed forces, public and private institutions and people in the public eye.
It has been beset by problems, and last month Dame Lowell became the third chair to quit the inquiry.
Giving evidence to the committee, Ms Rudd said there would be no review of the inquiry's terms of reference.
"Understanding what happened is so important to getting right what we think is going to help now and in the future," she said.
Asked why she thought Dame Lowell had stepped down from her role, Ms Rudd said she believed "ultimately she found it too lonely, she was a long way from home".
"I never met her, so I can only conclude from what she set out in the letter that she knew what she was doing, because I thought that the letter was pretty well informed about what the issues were and really show that she cared about the issues.
"But she did set out in the letter that she didn't feel she could actually deliver on it," she said.
MPs raised a number of questions about the truth of some of Dame Lowell's criticisms, which included saying the inquiry was under-resourced and that she had felt she did not have enough independence in her role.
Ms Rudd said it was "incorrect" of Dame Lowell to suggest that the inquiry had suffered from "operational difficulties" and a lack of resources, because the inquiry had spent less than it was allocated last year and returned about £2.5m to the Home Office.
"The Home Office and the now-prime minister were always determined to ensure that there were sufficient resources available," she said.
Ms Rudd was also asked to respond to Dame Lowell's comments that she had been "handicapped by not being given a free hand to recruit staff".
The home secretary said the chairperson could "appoint who they want to the inquiry" and encouraged the committee to put the issue to Dame Lowell "if you feel it is of such importance".
Professor Alexis Jay, Dame Lowell's replacement, will be able to reassure the public and survivors, Ms Rudd said, because she is confident the chairwoman aims to "proceed with pace, clarity and confidence" and does not want the inquiry to "go on endlessly".
Ms Rudd added Prof Jay would be paid "substantially less" than the £500,000 a year paid to Dame Lowell, and she promised to disclose the new chairwoman's salary to the committee as soon as it was finalised.
The BBC understands Apple removed the products as part of a wider switch to favour smart home devices compatible with its own HomeKit platform.
However, Apple continues to sell the Thermostat in the UK and across Europe.
Nest is owned by Google, which is developing rival technologies to link "internet of things" kit together.
The search firm announced in May that it was working on Weave - a library of common commands - and Brillo - an Android-based operating system for IoT machines.
Nest's Thermostat can already be controlled via its own iPhone or Android app. The division also promotes its own "Works with Nest" programme, which allows third-party products to communicate with the devices.
Mercedes, LG, Whirlpool and Philips are among firms that have taken advantage of the access this grants to Nest's application programme interfaces (APIs) - the code that controls how different software programmes interact with each other.
By contrast, Apple is promoting HomeKit - its own platform that lets users control and co-ordinate the use of smart home devices via its voice-activated virtual assistant Siri.
The firm requires accessory-makers to prove they have adopted tough encryption standards before it will certify them, and has designed the system to limit the collection of data about who used what and when.
"HomeKit introduces a new way for you to control supported devices in your home... and we've taken great care to make sure that the convenience this enables doesn't come at the expense of your privacy," Apple's website states.
The first products to support the standard began going on sale recently, including a thermostat made by Ecobee and a light dimmer switch from Lutron.
A spokesman for Apple declined to comment about its US sales restrictions, which were first reported by Mashable.
Nest's Protect smoke and carbon monoxide detector has also been removed from sale.
But a spokesman for the firm said it expected Apple to stock a next-generation version soon, despite the fact it would not be HomeKit certified. This may be because there are no similar alarms yet available for Apple's platform.
In an interview before Apple's move, Nest's chief executive told the BBC he was confident his firm was already doing enough to protect people's privacy.
"We're taking very much a cross-platform approach," said Tony Fadell.
"Through the Works with Nest programme and the protocols that we use inside, it's going to be a very robust thing.
"At the end of the day though, customers do not buy platforms, they buy products first and foremost.
"So, anybody who is selling a product-like platform or trying to convert you on a platform, they're not going to be successful because that's not where customers start."

Buchanan, 25, joined the Scottish Championship club after being released by League One outfit Dunfermline.
He made 36 appearances for Athletic after joining from Airdrieonians last summer.
Gallagher, 24, follows Aitken from Stranraer, where he has spent his whole career, playing 44 times this term.
Both players have signed one-year contracts with the Sons, who appointed Aitken on Wednesday to succeed Ian Murray, who moved to St Mirrern last week.
A 36-year-old male cyclist was thrown from his bike after being struck from behind while travelling west through Eaglesham onto Moors Road on Monday.
He was treated in hospital for back and leg injuries and later discharged.
Police said a 78-year-old man had been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged road traffic offences.
Tripp was born in Canada but represented Germany, where he coached Eispiraten Crimmitschau before agreeing a deal with the Glasgow outfit.
And he has ambitious plans to make improvements to his pool of players.
"I've had a lot of conversations with friends and people I know - I've got a big list, but there are still plenty of players out there," Tripp said.
"I've got an idea of who I want but whether I can get them or not will be the story at the end. You can't always get what you want, but if we can, then it's a bonus."
Tripp, 40, spent 12 years in Germany and is excited by what awaits him in Glasgow.
"Braehead wanted someone young with good hockey knowledge and I was looking for another challenge," he said.
"I had some opportunities in Germany as well, but when this one came up, it was one I wanted to jump on and take advantage of."
Hampshire, 14 points adrift at the bottom of the table, closed on 319-6 after new opening pair Jimmy Adams (86) and captain Will Smith (67) shared 160.
Michael Carberry, batting at four, made 48, while Barry McCarthy took 2-73.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes, on his return from knee surgery, was named in the Durham side but did not bowl.
For the hosts, in the chasing pack behind leaders Lancashire, a disappointing day that began with asking Hampshire to bat after winning the toss was compounded by the loss of opening bowler Chris Rushworth to a hamstring injury.
In his absence, the medium pace of Keaton Jennings made the breakthrough, enticing an edge from ex-Durham skipper Smith, leading Hampshire in the absence of James Vince on England duty, to end the opening stand.
Adams drove McCarthy to mid-wicket five overs later, but Hampshire continued to progress - Tom Alsop and the recalled Adam Wheater also passed 40, the latter in a stand of 74 in only 15 overs with Carberry.
They took 28 off five overs delivered with the second new ball, but three wickets for 21 runs at the end of the day gave Durham some late solace.
He told MPs this would be "an appropriate means of indicating our sentiments" during the occasion.
There was a "profound dignity through silence," Mr Bercow added.
The silence will last throughout events on Wednesday, covering the procession from Westminster and the ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral.
The chiming of Big Ben, the name often used to describe the Great Bell, the Great Clock and the Elizabeth Tower - clock tower - in the Palace of Westminster, is one of London's most famous sounds.
It has not been silenced as a mark of respect since the funeral of former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill in 1965, although it was out of action for repairs for a period during the 1970s.
In a statement to the Commons, Mr Bercow said he had received "direct and indirect representations" over the best way for Parliament to mark the funeral of Lady Thatcher, who died last week aged 87.
He added: "I've considered all of these, but I concluded that the most appropriate means of indicating our sentiments would be for the chimes of Big Ben and the chimes of the Great Clock to be silenced for the duration of the funeral proceedings."
Mr Bercow also said: "I believe there can be a profound dignity and deep respect expressed through silence."
Responding for the government, Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said it was a "very dignified and respectful gesture on behalf of Parliament".
"As you know, Lady Thatcher held Parliament in very great reverence in her time both in this House and in the Lords," he said."
Lady Thatcher's children, Sir Mark and Carol Thatcher, said they appreciated the "great honour".
The former prime minister has been accorded a ceremonial funeral with military honours, one step down from a state funeral.
A military rehearsal of the procession took place in central London during the early hours of Monday morning.
On Wednesday, Lady Thatcher's coffin will travel by hearse from the Palace of Westminster to the Church of St Clement Danes - the Central Church of the RAF - on the Strand.
It will then be transferred to the gun carriage and taken in procession to St Paul's Cathedral.
The film - in which Sir Anthony Hopkins made his first appearance as serial killer Hannibal Lecter - was one of 25 new additions announced.
Others include Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks, classic Disney animation Bambi and Charlie Chaplin's The Kid.
The titles were chosen from 2,228 films nominated by the public.
Every new addition must be considered "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant in order to be added to the registry.
Other additions include the 1979 Sally Field film Norma Rae, Robert Rodriguez's 1992 debut feature El Mariachi and the 1953 version of War of the Worlds.
They are joined by such lesser-known titles as A Computer Animated Hand - a one-minute film made in 1972 that is one of the earliest examples of 3D computer animation.
The oldest entries are silent films dating from 1912. One documents the pre-World War I child labour reform movement, while the other is a farce starring comic actor John Bunny.
Gump, which in 1995 won Hanks his second Oscar for best actor, is the most recent of the new additions.
"These films are selected because of their enduring significance to American culture," said James H Billington, who has been the US Congress librarian since 1987.
"Our film heritage must be protected because these cinematic treasures document our history and culture and reflect our hopes and dreams."
Its demise was approved by MPs without a vote this afternoon. The lockstep, for those among you who have better things to do than focus on fiscal devolution, was the clause of the Wales Bill that would have ensured any change in the basic rate of Welsh income tax had to be mirrored by a similar change in the higher or top rate. Our devolution dictionary is here, should you require further assistance.
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb told MPs: "By removing the lockstep we are removing what was widely seen as a deterrent to the Welsh government accepting the devolution of income tax in Wales."
He accused Labour First Minister Carwyn Jones of hiding behind "the self-imposed barrier of funding" in opposing the partial devolution of income tax until Wales gets a better financial settlement from Westminster. Mr Crabb suggested only Colin Jackson was capable of clearing all the hurdles Labour wanted to erect over income tax.
His Labour shadow, Owen Smith, said the UK government had performed a hand-brake U-turn on the lockstep months after it opposed its removal. He suggested that in the light of the Smith Commission report in Scotland there was now a case for going further with the devolution of income tax to Wales.
Mr Crabb said the tax powers transferred by the bill - and the full devolution of income tax - could see the Welsh government becoming responsible for raising around a quarter of the money it spends.
That share will only be reached after a referendum Carwyn Jones appears to be in no hurry to hold. Montgomeryshire Tory MP Glyn Davies suggested Mr Jones was now adding the non-devolution of air passenger duty to the list of hurdles stopping him holding a referendum.
Mr Davies's solution? Ditch the referendum and devolve tax powers if they're proposed in the winning party's (or parties') manifesto in next May's election. Wales Office Minister Alun Cairns gave a non-committal response to Mr Davies's suggestion.
There is sympathy in UK government circles for the tax referendum being a general plebiscite on a wider package of devolved powers but - if the Conservatives are still in power after the election - the more resistant Welsh government ministers appear to the idea of an early referendum the more chance there is of Mr Davies's campaign to scrap the vote being successful.

She met Jerry Brown for talks in Sacramento during a five-day visit to the United States.
They discussed how the two administrations could work together to achieve the ambitions set out in the Under2 memorandum of understanding between subnational governments.
This aims to cut CO2 emissions.
Mr Brown has criticised President Trump for his executive order overturning many climate change policies introduced by President Obama.
Ms Sturgeon and Mr Brown also discussed the importance of offshore wind in tackling climate change and considered how the two governments could share knowledge and best practice in developing this technology.
The Scottish government committed to pressing ahead with plans to both set and deliver ambitious domestic measures to reduce carbon emissions and provide leadership and example in the spirit of the MoU and the historic Paris Agreement.
Following the meeting, the first minister said: "Scotland is making huge progress in delivering our climate change ambitions, but we are not complacent and there is still much to achieve.
"Today's meeting strengthened our relationship with the government of California and I'm confident we can work together to achieve the targets set out by the Under2 MoU.
"We have also offered to help the Under2 Coalition, representing over one billion people, to prepare for a major summit in 2018 which will bring together the public and private sectors, alongside NGOs, to build support and action aimed at persuading national governments to increase their efforts to tackle climate change, in what will be an important year for taking stock against progress of the Paris Agreement."
WWF's US senior vice president of climate change and energy, Lou Leonard, said: "It is good to see climate action high on the agenda of Scotland's first minister on her trip to the United States. This is a strong reminder that climate change is a priority for our allies around the world.
"Over the years, California and Scotland have inspired the world by setting bold targets and investing in a clean economy. Now both governments are looking to collectively up their game. To successfully address the climate challenge, it is essential that the leading players work together to do even more."
On Tuesday Ms Sturgeon will be giving a speech at Stanford University on Scotland's place in the world.
The Scottish Conservatives have questioned Ms Sturgeon's priorities, saying she should "get back to the day job". | First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has signed a joint agreement with the governor of California committing them to work together on climate change. | 39,485,807 | 495 | 29 | false |
The data, obtained by the Financial Times, showed £2.7bn was collected in the six months after an online system was introduced in October 2014.
Critics had warned the change would lead to confusion among motorists.
The National Audit Office said the change had likely caused "an initial increase" in non-payment.
But it added that "overall non-compliance remains very low".
The figures obtained from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) show that between October 2014 and March 2015 some £2.7bn was collected in vehicle tax - £223m lower than the same period a year earlier.
Since the paper tax disc was abolished, authorities have been using a network of cameras linked to a database to work out which vehicles are being driven illegally.
Luke Bosdet from the AA said motorists were often caught out after changing address or not updating who is the registered keeper of a vehicle, meaning they missed any reminders from the DVLA.
"It's not surprising payments have fallen and ironically the change was supposed to save money.
"It looks like it will work itself out but there are still many people who are not familiar with the new system."
DVLA chief executive Oliver Morley said almost 99% of all vehicles on the road were taxed.
"That's around £6bn in vehicle tax passed to the Treasury every year," he said.
"We write to every registered vehicle keeper in the UK to remind them when their tax is due and we have introduced a range of measures to make vehicle tax easy to pay, such as direct debit or online.
"At the same time we are taking action against those who are determined to break the law."
The first assault happened in Derby Road, Lenton, near Hill Side at about 08:00 BST on Sunday, and the second in Woodyard Lane, Wollaton.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of two attempted rapes and three sexual assaults.
He has been remanded in custody and will appear at Nottingham Magistrates Court on Friday.
Both victims are being supported by specialist officers.
A 17-year-old boy arrested earlier has been released without charge.
The blaze broke out at about 06:30 near Junction 3 of the motorway.
The crane was moved to the hard shoulder and one southbound lane was closed while an oil leak from the fire was dealt with.
Traffic Scotland said the incident had now been cleared and the motorway was fully open.
Amy Adams plays Dr Louise Banks, a linguistics professor chosen by the US Government to communicate with Heptapods, the species that suddenly appears on Earth in disc-shaped spaceships. She says she welcomed the chance for her character to lead the way.
"That was something Denis was constantly in touch with, that this film be all from a woman's perspective," she explains. "He was always saying 'at the end of the day, it's this woman's story, it's her journey, that's all we need to worry about. Nothing else matters as much'."
This is the third time the Quebec-born film-maker has chosen a woman as his lead character, and admits he often places them in dangerous situations - his last film, Sicario, saw Emily Blunt as a female police officer in a drugs raid in Mexico.
But he points out: "It shouldn't ever be a question as to why we would choose a female lead for an action movie, and I hope that one day it will be normal rather than unusual.
"In some ways it's not my choice this time as the short story on which Arrival is based, The Story of Your Life, depicts a woman scientist going through the process.
"But there is no doubt that a woman will have different reactions to communicating with alien life than a man, and it's no surprise that it's the woman in the group, Dr Banks, who is patient enough to break through and communicate with the Heptapods first."
Avengers actor Jeremy Renner plays a supporting role in the film as a scientist and explains that "being the back up in the movie" is the reason why he wanted the role.
"It's not like the character was a departure for me or someone I had never played before," he says, "but I loved the script, loved what it was about and I wanted to be there for Amy. That's a powerful female perspective Denis has put on screen and I was raised by women and am raising a girl - I wanted to support it."
The hard hitting sci-fi drama, based on the short story from 1998 by author Ted Chiang, focuses around humanity's efforts to communicate with Heptapods and learn their language - Heptapoid - in order to discover whether their purpose on Earth is friendly or not.
Villeneuve, who is currently in the middle of making Bladerunner 2, jokes that he "always wanted to make a science fiction story and now I have two at once".
"But really, I had been looking for a subject for a long time and then I read this short work that we ended up basing Arrival on. Initially I was worried I couldn't adapt it.
"The story is all about the linguistics, and it's beautiful, but without the dramatic structure you need. Fortunately we had a screenwriter who managed to bring drama into the framework.
"But Arrival's a different concept to a lot of previous explorations of extra-terrestrial life. It's really about how would you actually go about communicating with aliens. That was exciting to me."
While Renner and Adams's characters lovingly nickname the alien figures they meet as "Abbott and Costello", powerful politicians start talking the rhetoric of war. Adams believes the deeper message of Arrival - that language is the ultimate weapon - is timely.
"The wrong words can matter more than the right words and so being careful of what you say is important," she says.
"We live in a world where media is so quickly and immediately available and easily taken out of context. Some people do need to be edited - I won't name names - but hopefully we can have honest voices in society that aren't inflammatory."
Villeneuve agrees: "Language is available to be used as a weapon of hate and I have a strong feeling of regression at the moment.
"We hailed the start of the internet as something that could bring communities together and yet it seems full of the worst of humanity - speaking without reflection, and a general narcissism."
Arrival's first screening at Venice Film Festival drew praise from critics for its "eerie poetic grandeur" and "spectacular ideas" - although it's been pointed out that Adams may end up in competition with herself during awards season as she also takes the leading role in another heavyweight contender for Oscar glory, Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals.
While some critics have drawn comparison between her character's journey and that of Sandra Bullock's astronaut in 2013's Oscar winner Gravity, Adams dismisses the idea that Arrival is a "space film".
"This is so much more about language, and ideas about time, rather than just action and adventure. We present time in the film the way the aliens, the Heptapods, think of it - as circular and non-linear.
"It will make you think of time as very precious - that it's all too fleeting and too quickly become memory. That's the nature of being human - we are doomed to miss so much."
Arrival was screened as part of the Venice Film Festival and is also part of the Toronto Film Festival, which runs until 18 September.
The film is released in the UK on 10 November.

The film, in which Elba plays an escaped convict, made $24.5m (£15m) on its debut, almost double its budget.
Feel-good release Dolphin Tale 2 entered the chart at two, while sci-fi caper Guardians slipped to third.
Guardians is the biggest film of the year so far in North America, taking more than $300m (£184.7m).
The Marvel release becomes the first film of the year to pass that milestone, while its box office takings around the world have reached the $600m (£370m) mark.
Another notable new entry in the rundown is The Drop, starring the late James Gandolfini and British actor Tom Hardy, which landed in sixth spot after opening in a limited number of cinemas.
No Good Deed, which co-stars Taraji P Henson as a woman terrorised by Elba's character, was hailed as a success by makers Sony, who marketed the film heavily prior to release.
"It's a movie that we really loved and felt that it was going to win," said Rory Bauer, the company's head of distribution.
He praised the leading pair's fantastic chemistry for making it a box office draw.
Box office analyst Paul Degaradebian said the film is the first post-summer release to make an impression, just a week after the slowest weekend of the year so far.
Overall ticket receipts were down 23% on the same weekend of 2013.
The film chart is rejuvenated after last weekend, when there was no new release inside the top 10.
Elba is best known for his portrayal of Nelson Mandela in Long Walk to Freedom, and playing the lead role as maverick police detective John Luther on BBC TV, which earned him a Golden Globe award in 2010.
This is according to a study of the performance of chimpanzees in a test called the "ultimatum game".
Traditionally, the game is employed as a test of economics; two people decide how to divide a sum of money.
This modified game, in which two chimps decided how to divide a portion of banana slices, seems to have revealed the primates' generous side.
The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was part of an effort to uncover the evolutionary routes of why we share, even when it does not make economic sense.
Scientists say this innate fairness is an important foundation of co-operative societies like ours.
Lead researcher Darby Proctor from the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University, US, explained why she and her colleagues chose to use the ultimatum game, which has been used in the past to illustrate the human tendency to share.
During the game, one participant is given an amount of money and asked to "make an offer" to the second player. If that second player accepts the offer, the money is divided accordingly.
But, if the second player refuses that offer, both players receive nothing. This is the basis of the fairness versus economics quandary; if the first player proposes a selfish, unequal offer, the affronted recipient might refuse.
And this is exactly what happens in humans. Although it makes economic sense to give away as little as possible and accept any offer that's proposed, people usually make roughly equal, or "fair" offers, and tend to refuse unequal or "unfair" offers.
Dr Proctor and her colleagues trained their chimp participants to play a similar game, using coloured tokens to represent a reward.
"We tried to abstract it a little - to make it a bit like money," Dr Proctor explained.
Discover how chimpanzees communicate
"We trained them with two different tokens.
"If they took [a white token], they would be able to split the food equally, and taking the other [blue] token meant that the first chimp would get more food than the partner."
The researchers presented both tokens to the first chimp, which would then choose one and offer it to its partner.
As with the human version of the game, if the partner accepted the token, both animals received their reward.
Three pairs of chimps played this game, and the results revealed that the animals had a tendency to offer a fair and equal share of the food reward.
In another experiment, the team repeated the test with 20 children between the ages of two and seven. They discovered that both young children and chimps "responded like humans typically do" - tending to opt for an equal division of the prize.
"What we're trying to get at is the evolutionary route of why humans share," explained Dr Proctor.
"Both chimps and people are hugely cooperative; they engage in cooperative hunting, they share food, they care for each other's offspring.
"So it's likely that this [fairness] was needed in the evolution of cooperation.
"It seems to me that the human sense of fairness has been around in primates for at least as long as humans and chimps have been separated."
Dr Susanne Schultz from the University of Manchester said the study was very interesting and showed "the potential for chimps to be aware of fair offers".
"It is interesting that changing the study design - primarily by not using food rewards it seems - one can elicit fairness behaviour in chimps," she told the BBC.
She added though that is was not clear that the chimps completely understood the design of the game and that, with just six chimps involved in the study, further evidence would be needed to show clearly that chimps had a natural tendency towards fairness.
Thirty-five others were injured by the blast in a commercial area crowded with people near the municipal stadium in Jableh, the Sana news agency said.
Three was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing.
Last May, 45 people died in attacks in the town claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS) that targeted President Bashar Assad's minority Alawite sect.
Footage from the scene of Thursday's attack broadcast by state television showed charred, mangled cars, damage to shops, and pools of blood on the road.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, put the death toll at 15.
The bombing happened despite a week-old nationwide truce, which excludes IS and the rival jihadist group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham - known as al-Nusra Front until it broke off formal ties with al-Qaeda in July - as well as the Syrian Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) militia.
The initiative, negotiated by Turkey and Russia, is aimed at restarting peace talks in Kazakhstan's capital, Astana, later this month.
However, several rebel groups said on Tuesday that they were halting preparations for the talks, complaining of major breaches of the truce by the government.
On Thursday, UN humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland said there remained "tremendous dramas" for the country's civilian population, especially in Damascus were 5.5 million people have had their water supplies cut or severely reduced.
Rebel and government officials have accused each other of cutting the flow of water from Wadi Barada, a valley in the hills north-west of the capital that is the location of several springs.
Troops and Iranian-backed militiamen are trying to recapture the valley. The government says fighters from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham are present there - something rebel groups have denied.
Mr Egeland said the consequences for the population were "dramatic", with emergency efforts in place to supply water to schools, hospitals and bakeries.
He also said the government had denied the UN's requests for access for aid convoys for five of 21 locations they planned to visit in January.
Turkey and Russia, he added, had pledged to facilitate humanitarian access across the country as part of the truce.
The UN special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, meanwhile said the Astana talks should aim to consolidate the truce and pave the way for UN-backed negotiations in Geneva in February.
He said the UN's new Secretary General, Antionio Gutteres, had been involved in internal "brainstorming" on the Syria crisis.
Aaron Lee, 19, from the Hamilton area, died after two cars crashed on the B7078 Carlisle Road at about 18:15 near Blackwood on Friday.
He was a passenger in a Seat Ibiza car. The 25-year-old male driver was taken to hospital where he was in a serious condition.
A five-year-old girl in the other car, is also in a serious condition.
That car, a Nissan Micra, was being driven by a 55-year-old man who is in a stable condition in hospital.
Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
The series includes Bangalore's landmarks as well as the artist's ancestral home.
"Ten years ago, our old house was torn down to build a set of apartments for me and my nine siblings. It was a huge house, with beautiful gardens and 40 fruit trees," Mr Fernandes says.
"When it all came tumbling down, it compelled me to look at the changing city. And I started drawing places that I remembered fondly while I was growing up."
The result is a collection of about 75 paintings and drawings - "completely nostalgia driven" - looking at the "good old days" in a happy, humorous way.
Here, Mr Fernandes explains the stories behind some of his works.
The Bangalore Club, one of the finest examples of British architecture in the city, is still looked after well. Established in 1868 by a group of British officers, the club boasted some exclusive members, including former British prime minister Winston Churchill who still owes the club 13 rupees (20 cents; 14 pence) in unpaid bills. It is also the place where famous filmmaker David Lean filmed parts of his critically-acclaimed Passage to India.
"It is still looked after very well and it still has very exclusive members," Mr Fernandes says.
In the "good old days", people didn't have to go to barbers; they instead came to people's homes.
"He would ride in on a bicycle, carrying his tools in a cloth bag. A chair would be brought out and placed under a tree and the entire family - men, boys and girls - would queue up to get their hair cut."
There was one disadvantage though, Mr Fernandes says. The barber knew only one style and he would cut everyone's hair in the same fashion.
"My sisters would show him fashionable hairstyles from international magazines and ask for a similar cut. They would, of course, never get one.
"And then in the 1970s, we all started to grow our hair, hippie-style," says Mr Fernandes. "The barber didn't like it one bit, he said it was bad for business."
The Coffee House on MG Road was "the centre of our universe", it was "very popular" and often frequented by journalists, Mr Fernandes says.
The place did - and still does - great coffee, it served dosa and omelette and was always packed at meal times.
"Sometimes, we would have journalists sitting on the next table and they would chat about headlines and it would be in the next day's papers. It was so thrilling."
Commercial Street was the centre of shopping in Bangalore - it's a place where one could buy anything, from clothes to jewellery to household stuff to footwear. It also had toyshops and many tailors.
"My mother would drive me and all my nine siblings there once a year at Christmas to buy us clothes," says Mr Fernandes. "She would buy the same bale of cloth, take us to the tailor who would take our measurements, and all of us would get identical clothes."
The Cubbon Park police station is a "very beautiful" building. It was an old British house that was converted into a police station in 1910 and it is still "pretty much the same".
"In the 60s and 70s, Bangalore was a very laid back place and there was no real crime, occasionally maybe a cycle would be stolen," Mr Fernandes says.
"I was in school then and my friends and I would cycle around the city and the policemen looked so silly in their flowerpot hats, so we would tap them and run away. But once I got caught and was detained in the room you see on top here. I was let out only after my mother came to the police station and apologised," he remembers.
This house in this illustration is the cartoonist's ancestral home and the girl was one of his sisters.
"She was very pretty and young boys would come by to greet her. A protective uncle would be hovering nearby, scowling, with an airgun, trying to scare away the boys," Mr Fernandes says.
Just below the British Council in Bangalore was the very popular Koshy's bar and restaurant. It is still hugely popular, so much so that even the state's chief ministers come here for a coffee or a drink. During a visit to the city in the 1980s, Britain's Prince Charles dropped by for a cup of coffee.
"This very picturesque railway line crossing is barely half a kilometre from my present home," Mr Fernandes says.
In the 1960s and 70s, a daily train from Madras (now Chennai) to Bangalore used to pass through the area and the gates would shut for 10 minutes.
"Whenever we were at the gate, we would wave at the passengers, and they would wave back at us."
The Brigade Road was Bangalore's "most iconic hangout" place in the 70s - all the city's fashionable people would go there in the evenings for fun.
An Indian-American couple set up a restaurant there and introduced Bangaloreans to apple pie and waffles, there were a couple of pinball machines and musically-inclined people would hang out with their guitars; and there was a coffin-maker nearby.
"In those days, we used to say you come to Brigade Road for recreation, sustenance and death. Unfortunately, it's all gone now, replaced by a huge mall," says Mr Fernandes.
The cartoonist's "sprawling home ground" was filled with trees, birds and dogs and this artwork shows a corner of that house.
"It was customary for gentlemen in the house to have a good lunch and a siesta in the gardens. It was a man's domain - by some unwritten rule a lady would never sit out there. I was told it was considered not dignified for a lady to sit there."
The Plaza was the iconic cinema hall where the finest Hollywood movies were shown.
"My favourite story of the theatre is when an aunt went there with her family to watch Gone With The Wind. When she came out of the cinema, she found that all four tyres of her car had been stolen.
"They were gone with the wind," he says.
Russell Market was built in 1927 by the British and was named after civic engineer TB Russell.
"It still exists as one of the busiest markets in Bangalore. It's crowded and wonderfully chaotic and you can buy nearly anything you want here," Mr Fernandes says.
Norman Lamb was being questioned by 26-year-old Newsbeat listener Annabelle Harris who is recovering from an eating disorder.
She started to develop the disorder from the age of 10 but it wasn't picked up until three years later.
After Annabelle told Newsbeat her story we took her to meet Norman Lamb.
She asked him some key questions about his plans on helping people.
The Liberal Democrat MP has pledged £150 million over the next five years in improving services, reducing waiting times and supporting families.
The idea is we introduce access waiting time standard so you know that you'll access support within a defined period of time.
Critically it has to be access to an evidence based service that will work - such as places like Slam in London.
It seems to me that they have a really impressive service, there is rapid intervention and it's community based.
Critically, it involves getting access to specialist support really quickly and results show that they achieve recovery much more quickly.
That's the approach I want to take but I just want it mainstreamed, it should be available everywhere but it takes time to build the capacity in the system.
We've made the judgement there is an overwhelming moral and economic imperative to invest in mental health across the board.
Will other parties do it? Well I just think we have to all hold whoever's elected to account on this.
I think we've got to that point in our history where mental health's time has come.
There's a growing understanding and recognition of the complete false economy in thinking you can trim back on mental health and no one will notice.
There is loads of evidence that if you invest in mental health you'll make further savings down the track and you can make a massive difference to people's lives
I think it is.
NHS England is leading on this - we've set the standard, we've got the money and the investment is there to do it.
We expect that standard to be met by April 2016 which includes six week standard to access psychological therapies for anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions.
But another critical standard is to access treatment within two weeks if you have first episode for psychosis which again has a massive impact on young people.
Labour says it will end the "scandalous'" neglect of mental health services if Labour takes power in May's General Election.
Ed Miliband says he wants his party to raise budgets for children's mental health services, expanding early intervention work and widening access to school-based therapy.

Mr Xi was speaking at the swearing-in of the territory's new leader Carrie Lam, as Hong Kong marked 20 years since its handover to China from Britain.
On Saturday afternoon, after Mr Xi had left Hong Kong, thousands of people took part in an annual march calling for greater democracy.
During Mr Xi's visit there was little opportunity for protest.
An earlier protest had led to clashes with pro-Beijing demonstrators.
Mr Xi's visit to the city - his first since becoming Chinese leader in 2013 - came amid tight police security.
Several people were detained in the morning, when a small group of pro-democracy activists clashed with pro-Beijing demonstrators close to the site where the lavish ceremony took place.
Organisers said 60,000 people took part in the later pro-democracy march, though police said the figure was much lower.
Heavy rain affected the march, which started at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay. Some protesters carried yellow umbrellas, a symbol of the demonstrations which gripped the city in 2014.
Lam Wing-kee, one of the five Hong Kong booksellers who went missing in 2015 and re-surfaced in detention on the mainland, addressed the march.
The Chinese leader oversaw the swearing in of Ms Lam, the newly-elected chief executive of the territory, along with the rest of her cabinet. She is Hong Kong's first female leader.
In a speech he said that Hong Kong needed to "improve its systems to uphold national sovereignty, security and development interests".
"Any attempt to endanger China's sovereignty and security, challenge the power of the central government... or use Hong Kong to carry out infiltration and sabotage activities against the mainland is an act that crosses the red line and is absolutely impermissible," he said.
He added that Hong Kong now enjoyed more freedom than ever before.
But while the territory's Basic Law guarantees wide-ranging freedoms under the "one country, two systems" formula, Beijing's refusal to grant universal suffrage has triggered sometimes violent unrest.
In Saturday morning's small-scale protests, pro-democracy party Demosisto said police had arrested five of its members, and four members from the League of Social Democrats.
Among those said by the group to have been arrested was Joshua Wong, the leader of the so-called umbrella protest movement.
It was meant to be a routine demonstration by pro-democracy protesters.
The leaders of the League of Social Democrats and Demosisto had gathered to make their way to the square in the Wanchai district where the flag-raising ceremony was taking place. They were demanding greater voting rights for Hong Kong, as well the immediate release of the Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
But without warning, scuffles began between the demonstrators and the police. Faces were slammed to the ground. And then pro-Beijing supporters turned up, waving flags and blaring patriotic music. Each side was shouting abuse at the other.
The tussle went on for more than an hour, with it ending only after the leaders of the pro-democracy demonstration were led away by police, who called it an illegal gathering.
During the ceremony, the flags of China and Hong Kong were raised alongside one another to mark the 20-year anniversary of the city's handover of British rule.
Helicopters flew overhead as onlookers cheered at the ceremony in Golden Bauhinia Square, central Hong Kong.
On Friday, an official protest zone near the convention centre where Mr Xi was guest of honour at an anniversary banquet and variety performance was heavily patrolled, as demonstrators gathered chanting "end one-party dictatorship".
There is growing concern that the Chinese central government is undermining Hong Kong's more politically liberal traditions, despite its promise to give it a high degree of autonomy.
Joshua Wong and 25 other activists were arrested on Wednesday for "breaking the 'public nuisance' law" after climbing into a golden sculpture of a bauhinia flower, Hong Kong's emblem.
The sculpture, which sits by the city's harbour front, was a gift from China and an iconic landmark symbolising the handover.
Kathryn Burge, 41, died when she was in collision with a car on Main Road, in Kirk Michael, on Monday evening.
Police said a dark blue Range Rover was involved in the crash.
A spokeswoman from Noble's hospital, where Ms Burge worked as a physiotherapist, said she was "a valued and much loved member of staff", whose loss was "a shock".
She added: "We are so sad today- all of our thoughts are with Kate's family, friends and close colleagues at this difficult time".
Richie Stevenson, chairman of Manx Fell Runners, where Ms Burge was a member, said: "[She was] a very pleasant and likeable person and a talented athlete who could perform to a very high standard on fells, road and cross country.
"Manx Fell Runners would like to pass on their condolences to all Kate`s family and friends," he said.
Kim Yang-gon, 73, was a secretary of the ruling Workers' Party and was in charge of ties with South Korea.
He was part of a high-level delegation from North Korea that helped ease a stand-off with the South in August, after an exchange of artillery fire.
The state news agency called him Kim Jong-un's "closest comrade and a solid revolutionary partner".
"Comrade Kim Yang-gon, a Workers' Party secretary and member of the party Central Committee Politbureau... died in a traffic accident at 6:15am, Tuesday, at age 73," KCNA said, without giving details.
It added that Kim Jong-un would lead an 80-member state funeral for Mr Kim on Thursday.
Tension between North and South Korea increased in August when a border blast injured two South Korean soldiers.
Meetings at that time eventually led to the two countries stepping away from a military confrontation.
T53 wheelchair racer Kinghorn, 21, added the 100m title to her 200m gold and 400m bronze.
The Scot can claim a fourth medal in the 800m later on Sunday.
There were also British silver medals for Polly Maton in the T47 long jump, Jordan Howe in the T35 100m and Mickey Bushell in the T53 100m.
The hosts have now collected 39 medals, eight more than their total in Doha two years ago.
Kinghorn, who is paralysed from the waist down after an accident at her home in 2010, has announced herself in London as the top T53 sprinter in the world and clinched 100m gold in a time of 16.65 seconds ahead of Australia's Angela Ballard.
After missing out on medals at the Rio 2016 Paralympics, she is now a two-time world champion and will be among the favourites for the 800m at 18:51 BST.
"I literally had no idea where I finished. I was staring straight across the line. I heard the roar so I thought I must have medalled but had no idea where. I can't believe it," she told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I felt like halfway down I panicked a bit and I have some scrapes on my arm from slipping slightly.
"You don't know where you'll come in the 800m because it's tactical, so I'll get myself in a good position and hope for a sprint finish."
Heard will give half to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to prevent violence against women, and half to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
The actress said she hoped to "help those less able to defend themselves".
She earlier accused Depp of striking her and throwing a mobile phone during a fight. He denied the allegations.
Depp's lawyer claimed she had made the accusations in order to obtain a more favourable settlement.
Announcing their divorce settlement on Tuesday, the pair said their relationship was "intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love".
In a statement, Heard said: "Money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves.
"As reported in the media, the amount received in the divorce was $7m and $7m is being donated. This is over and above any funds that I have given away in the past and will continue to give away in the future."
The 30-year-old said the money donated to the ACLU would have a "particular focus to stop violence against women".
She added: "I know these organisations will put the funds to good use and look forward to continuing to support them in the future. Hopefully, this experience results in a positive change in the lives of people who need it the most."
Heard married the Hollywood star in February 2015 and they announced their split this May.
She then took out a temporary restraining order against the 53-year-old obliging him not to get in contact and stay 100 yards away from her.
Their settlement came a day before a court hearing into the restraining order was due to take place. The order was then withdrawn.
A joint statement released on Tuesday said: "Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm."

Celebrations carried on after dark in Gaza City on Tuesday, as people poured into the battered streets, clapping and singing, after the truce was announced.
On Wednesday, fishing boats ventured out to sea as restrictions were eased.
The ceasefire brokered by Egypt brings to an end 50 days of fierce fighting in which more than 2,200 people have been killed, most of them Palestinians.
Hamas, the militant Islamist movement that dominates Gaza, said the agreement with Israel represented a "victory for the resistance".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also claimed victory.
In a televised news conference, he said Hamas has been "hit hard" and threatened an even tougher response should there be so much as a "sprinkle" of rocket fire from Gaza.
Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz told the BBC's Hard Talk programme that the reoccupation of Gaza had been "seriously considered" during the conflict.
It would be the "only alternative" if Hamas were to resume rocket fire into Israel, he said.
Life in Gaza was returning to normal on Wednesday, as thousands of people began returning to their homes.
Engineers meanwhile struggled to repair infrastructure damaged by Israeli air strikes and shellfire.
The BBC's Kevin Connolly says while the streets were packed with celebrations during the earlier hours of the ceasefire, questions are now being raised by the price that was paid for it.
The beach here in Gaza is almost unrecognisable. It is busy again. There are children playing in the surf; fishermen are out tending to their nets. It is something we have not seen for a very long time.
It is more than 12 hours since the ceasefire was declared. Overnight, we did not hear any shelling from Israel or any rockets being fired from Gaza.
The big question is whether this ceasefire will hold. The previous eight did not, lasting for anything from a few hours to a number of days.
US Secretary of State John Kerry has said the ceasefire is "an opportunity, not a certainty". It does not promise peace. It allows normal life to resume in Gaza. A lot of work needs to be done to ensure this is a lasting truce.
In Israel, sirens warning of incoming rocket fire were silent and the military said there had been no violations of the ceasefire since it took effect.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the end of hostilities, but warned that a brighter future for civilians who have been affected depends on a sustainable truce.
"After 50 days of profound human suffering and devastating physical destruction, any violations of the ceasefire would be utterly irresponsible," he said.
The ceasefire deal calls for the relaxing of Israeli and Egyptian border controls to allow humanitarian supplies and construction materials into Gaza, and the widening of the territory's fishing zone.
5,226
air strikes on Gaza
4,591
rockets and mortars fired at Israel
2,104 people killed in Gaza - UN estimates 69% of deaths are civilians
6 civilians killed in Israel (including one Thai national)
67 Israeli soldiers killed
Both sides have agreed to address more contentious issues - including Palestinian demands for a seaport in Gaza and the release of Hamas prisoners in the West Bank, and Israel's demand for Gaza's militants to be disarmed - at indirect talks that should begin in Cairo within a month.
Israeli media reported that Mr Netanyahu had chosen not to put Egypt's ceasefire proposal to a vote in his security cabinet because of opposition from ministers who wanted to continue the offensive on Gaza.
Israel launched Operation Protective Edge on 8 July with the stated aim of ending rocket fire.
At least 2,140 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Another 11,000 people have been injured.
The Israeli authorities say 64 Israeli soldiers have been killed, along with six Israeli civilians and a Thai national.
The UN says more than 17,000 buildings in Gaza have been destroyed or severely damaged, and that there are at least 475,000 internally displaced people (IDPs), more than a quarter of the territory's population.
Google published details of the yet-to-be-fixed bug on Monday after giving Microsoft a week to react.
Google said the issue was "particularly serious because we know it is being actively exploited".
But Microsoft said the alert could do more harm than good at this point because it needs more time to develop a patch.
"We believe in co-ordinated vulnerability disclosure, and today's disclosure by Google puts customers at potential risk," a Microsoft spokesperson told the VentureBeat news site.
The flaw involves a file called Win32k.sys, which the operating system requires to display graphics. It should not be deleted or otherwise altered by users because doing so can cause system errors that result in the so-called "blue screen of death".
However, Google outlines a way hackers can exploit the file to cause a "security sandbox escape", meaning that once it is compromised they can access and alter other unrelated computer functions to cause problems.
Since 2013, Google has operated a policy of giving developers 60 days to fix a flaw it has identified if it does not believe anyone else is making use of it, but only seven days if it thinks it is being actively abused.
It acknowledged at the time that this was "an aggressive timeline" that might be too short to create a fix but added that it should be enough time to publish advice about "possible mitigations".
"By holding ourselves to the same standard, we hope to improve both the state of web security and the co-ordination of vulnerability management," it added.
The search firm suggests one way users could limit their exposure would be to use its Chrome web browser, which it says is not exposed to the vulnerability.
For its part, Microsoft says that so long as Flash users have installed the latest version of the media plug-in, they should be safe.
"We disagree with Google's characterisation of a local elevation of privilege as 'critical' and 'particularly serious' since the attack scenario they describe is fully mitigated by the deployment of the Adobe Flash update released last week," a Microsoft spokeswoman told the BBC.
"Additionally, our analysis indicates that this specific attack was never effective in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update due to security enhancements previously implemented."
One cybersecurity expert said it was hard to say which tech giant was in the wrong without knowing more.
"What Google has done is understandable, bearing in mind it says the bug is already being exploited," commented Dr Steven Murdoch from University College London.
"But whether or not it was right to have made the flaw public is a matter of debate - there are reasonable arguments on both sides, and we still don't know who are the attackers and who are the targets."
Sally Adey, 57, of Caynton, Shropshire, was one of more than 20 people killed at the National Bardo Museum in Tunis on 18 March.
The mother-of-two was on an excursion from a cruise ship with her husband Robert, 52, who survived the attack.
The inquest was opened in Shrewsbury and adjourned until 2 July.
John Ellery, senior coroner for Shropshire, was told at the short hearing at The Shirehall, Mrs Adey's husband identified her body at the Charles Nicolle Hospital in Tunis, the day after the attack.
The couple were on a holiday cruise aboard the MSC Splendida, which had docked at the port in Tunis on the day of the shootings. Mrs Adey was one of 17 cruise ship tourists who were killed.
Coroner's officer Julie Hartridge said: "It is reported the museum came under fire from gunmen and she received fatal gunshot wounds."
Ms Hartridge said a post-mortem examination carried out in the UK by a Home Office pathologist, on 25 March, had established provisional cause of death as "consistent with gunshot wounds to the abdomen and pelvis".
Islamic State militants have said they were behind the attack, which also left the two gunmen dead.
On Sunday, the Tunisian government said another leading suspect implicated in the shootings had been killed near the Algerian border.
Christopher Langley, from Pontypridd, teamed up with publican James Lovegrove to put the paintings together.
The Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) said two pubs close every week in Wales.
Mr Langley has painted 13 so far, and hopes to complete another 20 over the coming months - saying there is "so much history that could be lost".
Pubs featured so far include The Vulcan - recently saved by St Fagan's Museum - as well as the York Hotel, the Pantmawr Inn and the Glendower.
"It has broadened my awareness," Mr Langley said.
"I was never brought up around pubs, but meeting James and talking to him about the pubs of Cardiff has really opened my eyes to that culture.
"There is so much history there that could be lost. This is a way of preserving and sharing that history."
The paintings are done from drawings or photographs if the buildings no longer exist.
"I had never appreciated the architecture of pubs before.
"But when you stand there and paint them you see just how much effort has gone into creating these places."
Shane Smith of Stainforth Close, Newton Aycliffe, was driving north at 20:45 GMT on the Close House Road near Bishop Auckland on Saturday when he crashed.
The 25-year-old suffered head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said another man, 25, who was also in the car was uninjured. The road was closed for about three hours.
It comes as part of a criminal investigation into her possible use of the server for classified emails.
Mrs Clinton denies doing anything wrong, in a case that has dogged her US Democratic presidential campaign.
Thousands of emails have been released except for those deemed "top secret".
In January, the Department of State said about 2,000 emails contained classified information, including 22 classified as "top secret", its highest level. Hillary Clinton, who served as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, has since apologised for using a personal email account for official business during that time.
But she has continued to deny that she had broken any government rules or laws, saying none of the material sent via email had been marked classified at the time.
According to the Washington Post, quoting a senior law enforcement official, the FBI is working with Bryan Pagliano, a former 2008 presidential campaign aide who helped set up the server in 2009, in the criminal case.
Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, said he was "pleased" Mr Pagliano was cooperating with prosecutors.
The email saga has at times overshadowed Mrs Clinton's 2016 run for the White House. However, she is leading the Democratic race for presidential nominations, after sweeping up seven more states in primary and caucus voting on Super Tuesday this week.
The former UKIP leader is one of 11 contenders named by the US publication, which cites his role in helping bring about Brexit.
Others on its list include US President-elect Donald Trump and his defeated opponent Hillary Clinton.
Time announces the winner of the accolade next Wednesday.
Revealing the shortlist, which is chosen by Time editors, the magazine said: "As head of the UK Independence Party, Farage was a face of the successful campaign for Britain to leave the European Union, positioning the referendum as the start of a global populist wave against the political establishment."
The other contenders are:
Last year's Time person of the year winner was German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Banners have been posted every few kilometres, emblazoned with the faces of the leadership of Marxist guerrilla group the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - both past and present.
They say: "52 years seeking peace," citing the length of Colombia's arduous civil war, one of the longest armed conflicts in the world.
One of the bloodiest too: as many as 220,000 lives are thought to have been lost during those years of fighting, which only now look like drawing to a close as a peace deal with the government moves ever closer.
We spend a couple of hot and muggy days in one of the riverside villages poking out among the banana and tropical cedar trees, killing time by drinking weak coffee and playing cards until our contact appears.
Part of the rebel army's civilian support network, he ushers us back on to a boat and takes us deeper into the jungle.
A day later, a group of guerrillas are waiting for us at the bottom of a rocky brook, M-16's slung over their shoulders.
They guide us in a trek up along steep mountain paths and across streams until the camp of the 30th Front of the Farc's Occidental Bloc emerges beneath the thick canopy.
The camp commander, a wiry moustached man called Roque, welcomes us with the hospitality Colombians are famous for.
While the Farc's shameful history of kidnapping - including journalists - shouldn't be overlooked, it is also immediately clear that we are in no danger and that this isn't the ill-advised trip that it might have been a number of years ago.
The Naya River marks the dividing line between two of Colombia's Pacific departments, Cauca and Valle de Cauca, and Roque explains the area has been calm for months.
As someone who has spent the past 33 years at war, the quiet still makes him twitchy.
Despite the historic agreement being reached in Havana, the local commander feels like the group is "effectively already in a bilateral ceasefire [with the military]", he says over a meal of white rice and a meat-less sancocho, a Colombian stew.
"There's such a great sensation of tranquillity that it almost makes you nervous," he says.

The Farc in the 21st Century is a strange beast.
Gone is the bipolar vision of the Cold War, and gone too are most of its original intellectual architects, many killed in combat.
Today, somewhat anchorless, the rebels continue to go through motions of an armed insurgency - but they know a new future is beckoning.
They remain primed for war; machine guns by their beds, handguns under their pillows, all night lookouts keeping watch for an enemy that no longer seems to be searching for them.
Every day begins before dawn, with the first troop inspection at 05:00.
After coffee and breakfast in the dark, daylight begins to break and the morning's activities begin.
Whereas once they might have carried out stealth missions to set bombs around military checkpoints or ambush an army patrol as it makes its way through the forest, now they hold "capacitation workshops" to discuss the latest developments in the peace process.
The guerrilla army - of which this camp contains only a handful of combatants - is still largely made up of young men and women from poor rural backgrounds.
At 27 years old, all Camilo has known his entire adult life is the jungle and the Farc.
He admits that it shows up in some unlikely ways: he has never had a hot shower, for example, as he and his comrades bathe in the icy waters of a spring.
Softly spoken and with a disarming smile, Camilo hopes to put his guerrilla skills to good use once the peace is declared.
But what would a Farc explosives expert do outside the jungles of Colombia? "Maybe a civil engineer," he suggests.
"In terms of carrying our arms, we're still ready for war. But psychologically, we're already at peace," Camilo adds with an erudite turn of phrase that will serve him well in a future Farc political party.
Like Camilo, Tania joined the organisation while still a teenager.
She chose her nom de guerre after Tamara Bunke, Tania the Guerrilla, the East German revolutionary killed fighting alongside Che Guevara in Bolivia.
She used to admire the Farc women who came through her village dressed in green fatigues "carrying their backpacks through the rain, all of them so good-looking".
They spoke to her about joining up when she was still a girl, and she doesn't regret her decision to enlist but admits they left out the hardest detail: she would have to kill other Colombians.
"It's definitely not easy," she says. "After all, we're all brothers, all children of the same country. But that is just the way of the world."
Tania talks to us on the sidelines of an inter-camp football match, held in a jungle clearing the Farc has turned into a makeshift pitch.
The women's matches are as fiercely contested as the men's, and Tania says she loathes the traditional gender roles of wider Colombian society.
But the Farc bans women from having children in their ranks, and about 150 cases of allegedly forced abortions within the group are currently under investigation by the attorney general's office.
"As a woman, I hope to have my own family one day, but not while we live in these conditions," Tania says, referring to both life in the jungle and her uncertain future in a post-conflict Colombia.
Most guerrillas say their main fear is retribution from the country's paramilitary groups and argue that the state must guarantee their security.
After a deal is reached, many combatants will live in "concentration zones" or "encampments", the exact details of which still aren't clear.
But given that the Farc is largely financed through drug trafficking, some doubt whether the rank and file will be able to quietly step away from the lucrative cocaine trade without another glance over their shoulders.
Comandante Walter Mendoza, of the Occidental Bloc, insists his troops will comply with the order to disarm when he gives it.
"They know what they must do," he says. "We receive our orders from our superiors at the talks in Havana. We know we're about to take a very important step."
Still, he clarifies that they will not hand their guns in to the state in a televised event.
"That media show they want - of us suppliantly giving over our weapons - that show will not happen," he says.
As we leave the camp, we again speed past the Farc's propaganda on the riverbanks.
Over and over the words flash by: "52 years seeking peace."
Many Colombians reject such a one-sided description of the violent civil war.
But, if its slogan is to be believed, the Farc is now tantalisingly close to finding it.
Polls have now closed and votes are being counted, with a result expected later.
Most voters, some 6.4 million, were eligible to vote, but around 37,000 Rwandans living overseas were able to vote on Thursday.
The change would allow Mr Kagame to potentially remain in power until 2034.
Rwandans are expected to vote overwhelmingly in favour of changing the constitution.
As President Kagame cast his ballot at a polling station in the capital Kigali, the BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga asked him why it was necessary to change the constitution:
"I did not apply for this, you go and ask Rwandans why they got involved in this," he said.
The New York based Human Rights Watch has warned of Rwandans censoring themselves out of fear of the government.
"No suspense in Rwanda referendum when so many dissidents silenced, civil society stifled" HRW executive director Kenneth Roth tweeted earlier.
People have been steadily streaming in to Rugunga polling station close to State House in Kigali. It is a streamlined and efficient process. Several classrooms in the school here are being used for the ballot, so waiting times do not seem long. The only excitement is the music playing on the speakers put up.
There has been no campaigning in this referendum - the law does not allow it. Public rallies have been carried out around the country to give people information about the ballot. The government views this as a national non-partisan exercise. Blue, yellow and green colours of the Rwandan flag can be seen everywhere including around the polling booths.
Mr Kagame is praised at home and abroad for bringing about development and economic growth, but his critics accuse him of heavy-handed rule and human rights abuses. The president himself has said he will wait for the outcome of the referendum before making his decision on whether to run in 2017.

Paul Kagame: Visionary or tyrant?
The arrogance of power
One 22-year-old voter in neighbouring Uganda's capital Kampala told AFP: "I came to vote... because we want our president to continue leading us".
But another said voting was a waste of time "because we know the results already".
"Kagame wants to stay in power... he can have what he wants," he said.
1) Presidential term limits:
2) Senators' term limits: To be extended from one eight-year term to two five-year terms
3) Gacaca courts: References to the community courts set up to deal with those accused of involvement in the 1994 genocide are to be removed as they have finished trying nearly two million people
If more than 50% of voters agree to the amendments, Mr Kagame could leave power after 34 years as president - he was first elected to the position by MPs in 2000.
Mr Kagame's Rwanda Patriotic Front, an ethnic Tutsi rebel force, ended the 1994 genocide perpetrated by Hutu extremists and has been in power ever since.
Some 800,000 people - Tutsis and moderate Hutus - are estimated to have been killed.
Donor countries, which support the Rwandan government, have been very critical of the move to change the constitution.
The US urged Mr Kagame to step down in 2017, saying he had "an opportunity to set an example for a region in which leaders seem too tempted to view themselves as indispensable to their own countries' trajectories".
The president has hit back at "other nations" for interfering in Rwanda's internal affairs.
The issue of African presidents seeking a third term in office has caused unrest elsewhere on the continent this year, including in Burundi and Congo-Brazzaville.

"I'm absolutely delighted. It's gone really well and I'm feeling fit still," Wilbraham told BBC Radio Bristol.
"At the start of this season, there was a discussion that I would not be involved as much as the season before.
"As it's turned out, I've played a lot more than people expected."
Bristol City are 19th in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone with eight matches remaining.

Thousands of Liverpool fans walked out of the game against Sunderland at Anfield on Saturday in protest at a £77 ticket in the new Main Stand next term.
It comes after the Premier League sold television rights in 2015 to its games for £5.14bn, kicking in from 2016-17.
"I do not think any fan in the country - at all - should be asked to pay more for tickets next season," said Shearer.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Speaking in his role as a pundit on BBC Match of the Day, he added: "With the TV deal that starts next season, if anything, fans should be rewarded for their loyalty.
"They should be getting them for £10 or £20 - fill the stadium up. Why not?"
Liverpool led 2-0 at the time of the walk-out after 77 minutes but ended up drawing the game 2-2.
Reds chief executive Ian Ayre highlighted the freeze or decrease in 64% of season ticket prices and 45% of match-day tickets.
"Liverpool didn't lose points because the fans left the stadium after 77 minutes," said Shearer. "Liverpool lost the points because they're very poor defensively.
"Having said all that, the club say that some tickets are cheaper next season."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes extra television revenue will be used to buy players rather than cut ticket prices to meet the rising cost of transfer fees and player wages.
"I believe the pressure on spending the money will become bigger and you cannot necessarily distribute the money to other people," he said.
Writing in the Independent, Rona Fairhead said the BBC's future must be "driven by evidence and fact, not by prejudice and not by vested interest".
She also complains of MPs attempting to interfere in the broadcaster's affairs.
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale has said a debate was needed over whether the BBC should become more "precise".
The corporation's Royal Charter is up for renewal next year.
Ms Fairhead, who became the head of the BBC's governing body last October, said there is "good evidence" that audiences "very much" wanted the corporation to continue to be "part of their lives".
She added that people "believe that a significant public benefit arises from the existence of a strong, independent BBC that provides a universal service".
Ms Fairhead said the public wanted independent scrutiny and regulation of the BBC, but that they wanted this done by a separate body representing licence fee payers, not by politicians.
"That independence has needed defending over decades, not just from governments but also from parliament, with a growing tendency in recent years for select committees to question BBC executives about detailed editorial decisions," she said.
"We believe that this charter review gives us a chance to codify the relationship between the BBC and the state, and the BBC and its public, so that the terms of engagement are clear, the processes transparent, and the BBC can be seen to be both accountable and independent."
She also said that the corporation "cannot sit still" when it came to creating and offering new technology.
"It has a strong history of initiating highly valued technological change - the iPlayer being only the most recent example.
"But the iPlayer is now more than seven years old - which makes it venerable in digital time-scales.
"Everyone wonders where the next great innovation in delivery will come from, so the BBC must have the technical and research capacity, if not to invent new technologies, at least to adapt and exploit them."
She goes on to say that the broadcaster is dealing with "ever-tighter funding constraints" along with "arguably the greatest external challenges in its lifetime".
While accepting that "the status quo is not an option", she says changes "should happen through a proper debate where the public's voice is heard loud and clear".
She added: "The BBC's future is simply too important to be settled behind closed doors."
Mr Whittingdale has launched a Green Paper on the corporation's future, saying he wanted the corporation to "thrive".
But the corporation has said the review suggested "a much diminished, less popular, BBC".
It has already agreed to take on the cost of free TV licences for the over-75s, in return for some concessions, including linking the licence fee to inflation.
The Green Paper also said responsibility for regulation of the broadcaster could be transferred away from the BBC Trust, after incidents where the corporation had "fallen well short of the standards we expect".
Mr Whittingdale has cited "editorial failures" in the light of the Jimmy Savile revelations and the level of severance payments as sources of "disquiet".
The BBC has previously responded by saying public consultation should be a key part of charter review.
The FBI alleges Hikmatullah Shadman gave at least two US soldiers bundles of $100 notes to win inflated deals to supply transport and heavy equipment.
Prosecutors say this took place when the the men were deployed to Afghanistan in 2009.
There has been no comment from Mr Shadman. His whereabouts are unclear.
Justice Department officials had earlier frozen more than $63m (£42.5m) in bank accounts controlled by Mr Shadman, a logistics and construction company owner, thought to be one of the first asset freezes of its kind involving an Afghan contractor.
This case was filed on 23 December in a federal court in North Carolina.
Both Robert Green, then a staff sergeant who managed supply requests at Kandahar air base, and his superior David Kline, have already been convicted of their part in the alleged fraud, after pleading guilty.
The complaint against Mr Shadman says Green received several payments of between $30,000 (£20,000) and $50,000, at his request, while Kline received about $50,000.
Green was sentenced to 10 months in prison and a year of supervised release in September, while Kline is due to be sentenced next month.
The amount lost to fraud alone could pay for nearly 250,000 new nurses, a report seen by Panorama suggests.
The NHS must "get on with tackling the problem", said Jim Gee, co-author of the Portsmouth University study and ex-director of NHS Counter Fraud Services.
The Department of Health said it "did not recognise" the figures.
The amount estimated by Mr Gee, who led the NHS anti-fraud section for eight years until 2006, is 20 times that recorded in the government's annual fraud indicator report.
It is based on worldwide figures, which suggest average losses to fraud and error of just under 7% of healthcare budgets.
"If the NHS is in line with the rest of the world it is losing £7bn," Mr Gee, who is currently Director of Counter Fraud Services at BDO LLP, told BBC Breakfast.
He said the UK-wide figures had to be extrapolated because "the NHS in recent years has stopped measuring its own losses" - only looking at those for dental and pharmaceutical services.
Key types of fraud include the non-payment of prescription charges by patients, medical professionals claiming for work they have not done and overcharging by contractors, said Mr Gee.
"We need to not be embarrassed, or in denial, about the possibility of fraud taking place in the NHS," he told Panorama.
"We need to get on with tackling the problem, minimising its cost, maximising resources available for proper patient care."
'Absolute sense'
The £2bn cost of errors relate to when the NHS makes overpayments by mistake to suppliers or staff.
By Nick TriggleHealth correspondent
By its very nature, it is difficult to say just how much the NHS loses to fraud. Last year NHS Protect with its local investigators oversaw nearly 150 successful criminal cases. There were also 435 civil or internal disciplinary actions. But this is likely to be the tip of the iceberg.
Just like the Crown Prosecution Service, NHS Protect only proceeds with the cases it has a reasonable chance of winning - and cuts to its budget has made it even more difficult to gather evidence than it used to be.
It does not publish details of the amount of fraud that is brought to its attention nor the amount it suspects is happening. That is why the estimates by its previous director, Jim Gee, are very interesting.
The opportunity for fraud in a service as complex as the NHS where there are one million patient contacts every 36 hours is endless. There have been cases of dentists making claims for non-existent patients, GPs falsifying records to claim extra payments and consultants putting in for bogus overtime. Fraudsters outside the NHS have also targeted the service.
But if the £5bn figure is right, it suggests the problem is greater than anyone probably ever thought.
Although the NHS has a budget of about £100bn, it is having to make significant savings and should prioritise fighting fraud, said Mr Gee.
"I think fraud is one of the last great unreduced healthcare costs. And to me, putting money into it makes absolute sense," he said.
"It's one of the least painful ways of cutting costs. It makes absolute sense to cut the cost of fraud before you cut the quality, or extent of patient services."
The Department of Health declined to be interviewed but in a statement said "it did not recognise" the figure or "speculate on levels of losses".
Panorama also found that NHS Protect, the national body that investigates fraud in England for the Department of Health, has had its budget cut by around 30% since 2006.
The operating budget for NHS Protect in 2013-14 is £11.38m, the equivalent budget in 2006-07 was £16.29 million.
NHS Protect has replaced NHS Counter Fraud Services in England.
A Freedom of Information request by the BBC shows that NHS Protect employs 27 counter-fraud specialists, with a further 294 investigators working at a local level.
By contrast, the Department for Work and Pensions employs six times the number of investigators - but if Mr Gee's figures are accurate, they face less than half the amount of fraud.
The Department of Health said NHS Protect had a "significant budget" and "protects and safeguards frontline NHS services".
NHS anti-fraud teams investigate cases ranging from hundreds to millions of pounds.
Among their cases was that of dentist Joyce Trail, from Birmingham, who was one of the most prolific fraudsters in NHS history.
Then available in the UK on the BBC iPlayer
Trail charged the NHS for work she had never actually carried out.
She visited care homes offering to check residents' teeth and then used their personal details to claim payment from the NHS.
Trail even claimed payment for the false teeth for patients who had died.
She was jailed in 2012 for £1.4m worth of fraud.
Other fraudsters investigators have prosecuted include NHS employees selling stolen products on eBay and dentists charging the NHS for gold crowns while fitting patients with cheaper ones.
One investigator, Barry Hards, said the lack of money for investigators means that now is a good time to be a fraudster in the NHS.
"How can you have confidence that there's a likelihood you'll be found out, when there's very few people looking at you?" he said.
"I think it's a genuinely held concern that some people in senior positions have just taken their eye off the ball on this."
The event sees revellers chase a wheel of Double Gloucester down a steep hill and has seen some participants injured.
Diana Smart, who makes the 7lb (3kg) cheese for the event at her Churcham farm, said police warned her about her responsibilities as organiser.
She said: "It made me feel pretty angry... there's not a lot we can do,"
Mrs Smart, 86, who has made cheese for the event for 25 years, said police had warned her she could be regarded as responsible if anybody was injured.
The cheese-rolling at Cooper's Hill dates back to at least the early 19th Century and this year's event is set to take place on Monday.
Some 15,000 people turned up for the last official cheese-rolling event in 2009 but the hill, near Brockworth, is only suitable to host about 5,000 spectators.
Unofficial races organised by local enthusiasts have been held during the late spring bank holiday each year since.
A Gloucestershire Police spokesman said: "Advice has been given to all those who have participated in any planning of an unofficial cheese rolling event this coming bank holiday.
"This included the individuals who provide the cheese.
"We feel it is important that those who, by law, could be constituted as organisers of the event that they are aware of the responsibilities that come with it so that they can make an informed decision about their participation."
Police said they had visited Mrs Smart to advise her that, in the absence of a recognised organiser, anyone who facilitates the event could be deemed to be an organiser by default.
"In this case that person could then attract the legal liability issues that come with hosting the cheese-rolling," a spokesman said.
The Dow Jones finished up 269,48 points, or 1.6%, at 17,409.72.

Last week the Football League said it was investigating the Premier League club for allegedly supplying false financial information.

The London mayor, who backs EU exit, told the BBC the Americans "wouldn't dream of sharing [their] sovereignty" as the UK had done.
The US president is expected to repeat his support for Britain's EU membership when he visits the UK next week.
Backers of Remain dismissed Mr Johnson's remarks as "nonsense", citing US membership of Nato and trade bodies.
The White House has indicated Mr Obama is ready to offer his view on the issue but will stress the decision is for UK voters.
Speaking in Washington, Chancellor George Osborne said it was the "overwhelming view" of foreign governments and international institutions such as the IMF and Nato that the UK should remain.
Backing from Mr Obama could boost Prime Minister David Cameron's efforts to persuade the country to vote to remain in the EU in the 23 June referendum.
Asked about the US president, the London mayor said everything about the history of the US suggested they would never share sovereignty.
"I don't know what he is going to say but, if that is the American argument then it is nakedly hypocritical. The Americans would never dream of it," he told the BBC.
"I think that President Obama has got a perfect right to make any intervention that he wants. Indeed I welcome the views of everybody in this debate.
"I just find it absolutely bizarre that we are being lectured by the Americans about giving up our sovereignty and giving up control when the Americans won't even sign up to the international convention on the law of the seas, let alone the International Criminal Court."
Labour MP Stephen Kinnock dismissed Mr Johnson's comments as "utter nonsense".
"The last time I checked, the United States was a member of Nato. You look at article five of Nato, it says any attack on a Nato member is an attack on all. You couldn't have a greater pooling of sovereignty than that," he said.
"The United States is a member of the WTO [World Trade Organization] and a range of other international organisations. We pool our sovereignty in order to make ourselves stronger."

Boris Johnson could hardly be more dismissive of the arguments being put forward by the prime minister, the IMF, the Bank of England, Nato and the White House.
The mayor of London said economic concerns about leaving the EU were fundamentally wrong and he claimed the union was corrupt.
And he said that President Obama's likely warnings about departure would be nakedly hypocritical.
Remain campaign sources say those arguing to leave can't answer basic questions about the economic risks and can't attract the backing of any third parties of any stature.
When pressed for endorsements to rival the In camp, the mayor of London stumbled.
Yet Mr Johnson described his colleagues who want to stay in the union of being the Gerald Ratners of British politics. They believe the EU is "crap" - his word - but say there is no alternative.
Maybe his plain speaking is the passion of the newly converted.
But with Boris Johnson as one of the Leave campaign's biggest voices, if they lose, it won't be for fear of being bold.
Liberal Democrat MP Tom Brake said: "The real issue here is that it's actually Boris Johnson who has been nakedly hypocritical on this issue because of course in January [he] was saying that he actually wanted us to stay in [the EU].
"I think what Boris Johnson has done is made a calculation about him being the future leader of the Conservative Party rather than his views on whether we are stronger in Europe or out of it."
Mr Johnson also reiterated his view that Mr Cameron should stay on as prime minister even if voters backed leaving.
At a rally for the Leave campaign in Newcastle on Saturday, Mr Johnson said the referendum was "a massive opportunity to... burst out of the shackles of Brussels".
The London mayor was applauded when he spoke of the EU being "deeply anti-democratic" and "sometimes borderline corrupt" in how it allocated its budget.
And he said Britain would "thrive and flourish as never before" if it left the EU and agreed its own free trade deals.

Pro-European Conservative MP Ken Clarke has, meanwhile, predicted Mr Cameron "wouldn't last 30 seconds" as prime minister if the public votes to leave the EU.
He told BBC Radio 4's The Week in Westminster: "We'd be plunged into a Conservative leadership crisis which is never a very edifying sight."
Mr Cameron "would be in a farcical position having campaigned for a position that's been rejected.
"He'd be a prime minister facing a Parliament in which the majority of the MPs wanted to remain in the EU."
BBC political correspondent Ben Wright said Mr Clarke was speaking a truth that many Tory MPs privately acknowledge.
But Mr Johnson said Mr Clarke's comments were "uncommonly pessimistic".
He said Mr Cameron would be in a "strong position" to lead post-referendum negotiations and there were no previous examples of European leaders who had been forced to step down after suffering "adverse referendum results".

Mr Macron, a 39-year-old married to his former high-school teacher who is 20 years his senior, told supporters his wife Brigitte "shares my whole life".
Any reports of a double life were not about him but his "hologram", he joked.
The claims emerged on a Russian-owned website as the centrist nudged ahead of a key rival in polls, less than three months before the presidential vote.
Addressing a rally in Paris on Monday, Mr Macron said the claims of a secret life were "first and foremost unpleasant for Brigitte".
"She shares my whole life from morning till night and she wonders how I could physically do it!" he said.
"If in dinner-party chatter, or in forwarded emails, you're told that I have a double life," he added, "it's my hologram that suddenly escaped, but it can't be me!"
The joke was a reference to far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon, who launched his presidential campaign in Lyon on Sunday - and appeared at a Paris rally simultaneously thanks to a 3D hologram.
New star of French politics urges unity
Right-wing MP Nicolas Dhuicq told Russia's state-run Sputnik News on Saturday that Mr Macron was backed by a "very wealthy gay lobby" and suggested that his loyalties lay with big American banks.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has also been quoted by Russia's Izvestia newspaper as saying "we have interesting information" about Mr Macron, culled from the hacked emails of Hillary Clinton. Izvestia gave no details.
The fortunes of Mr Macron's centre-right rival. Francois Fillon, have waned over allegations that Mr Fillon's wife had done little work for the hundreds of thousands of euros she earned as a parliamentary aide between 1998 and 2012.

Instead, in today's ever more fitness and fashion conscious world, a growing number are willing to pay as much for a new gym outfit as they do for a new formal party dress.
This has led to a big increase over recent years in the value of the women's sportswear market.
In the US alone, combined sales of such products - from yoga leggings, sports bras and vests, to tracksuits - totalled $15.1bn (£10.3bn) in the 12 months to August 2011, according to research firm NPD Group. It said this was 10% higher than the prior year.
Meanwhile, sportswear giant Nike said last October that the rate of sales growth in its female clothing ranges was outpacing that of its products for men.
Analysts say that the rise in sales of women's sportswear has been helped by an increased emphasis on the style of the clothing - making them look and feel as good as possible - which in turn has led to an increase in the number of women wearing such items as fashionable leisurewear.
And with the market being so valuable, it is not surprising that a growing number of small companies - predominantly led by women - are launching their own ranges of upmarket female sportswear.
Katy Biddulph didn't need gym membership when she launched her women's sportswear brand Striders Edge in London back in 2011.
Initially running the business from a second floor one-bedroom flat, she would get her exercise by carrying all her deliveries up and down the stairs.
The 31-year-old says: "It looked like a fairly big business to the outside world when I was just starting out, but I was receiving all my goods from the manufacturer in Portugal from a truck outside my flat.
"I had hundreds of garments landing in the street, and I had to get all the boxes up the stairs by myself. I never slept that first year, but I just knew there was a gap in the market that I could fill.
"Now I've got an office that overlooks the London Eye."
Ms Biddulph set up the business after previously working for fellow British women's sportswear company Sweaty Betty, where she designed and managed a number of product ranges.
Her industry experience and knowledge persuaded a number of private investors to back her venture.
Striders Edge's clothes are now stocked by UK retailers Harrods, John Lewis and House of Fraser, and the brand launched in the US in February. It also sells globally via its website.
Now with nine members of staff, Ms Biddulph says she wants to hit £2m in sales within the next 12 months.
She adds: "You want your customer to feel great and part of something. As a female, you know the standard concerns."
But just how do you convince women to spend more than £60 on a t-shirt or a pair of leggings?
"It's not as hard as you would think," says Brittany Morris-Asquith, spokesperson and designer for Titika Active Couture, a Canadian brand based in Toronto. "Women are always looking for something different.
"They're asking more questions about fabrics, and if they understand the construction that goes into it, they're willing to pay for a better product."
Since Titika's founder Eileen Zhang, 32, opened her first shop in Toronto in 2009, Titika has expanded to seven stores across the province of Ontario.
And in March of this year it expended its online sales to the US, with plans to ship globally later this year.
Ms Morris-Asquith adds: "We provide clothing to women that make them feel good, we encourage them to try on things that they would never think about."
Titika also offers free in-store exercise classes to promote a healthy lifestyle - from yoga and kickboxing, to zumba dance workouts. And inspirational slogans affixed above fitting room mirrors urge against body shaming.
Catherine Elliott, a professor at the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, says that businesses such as Striders Edge and Titika share an ethos which is typical for female-led companies.
"They tend to have a double bottom line - to create wealth, but also to make positive change for girls and women," says Prof Elliott, who is co-author of a recently published book on the subject called Feminine Capital.
"When women are defining the objectives of [a clothing] business, they're going to see it as something that empowers women as opposed to just making them look sexy.
"The sports clothing industry is about feeling good about yourself, and wearing clothing that fits and makes you feel comfortable."
She adds: "A lot of women have talked about how being in sports and fitness has given them the leadership skills and confidence to be successful in corporate settings and entrepreneurship."
At New York-based women's sportswear business Live The Process, founder Robyn Berkley says the aim is for the brand to not just be about clothing, and instead "offer authenticity, honesty, and embrace the idealism of wellness".
Its website features editorial content from 32 contributors, offering tips ranging from changing careers to taking care of your skin.
Established in 2013, the company's clothing range was an immediate hit, with sales topping £1m in its first year.
The firm must make it easier for users to find out how their data is collected and what it is used for and submit to a two-year review.
The deal follows an investigation by the regulator. Similar reviews are continuing elsewhere in Europe.
It is understood that Google will seek to strike a similar deal with other European regulators.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) found that Google was "too vague when describing how it uses personal data gathered from its web services and products".
The regulator - along with its continental counterparts - began looking into the Mountain View firm after its controversial privacy policy update in March 2012, which combined 70 existing documents.
It was joined by other data regulators, which form the European Article 29 Data Protection Working Party.
Following the investigation, Google has agreed to ensure that its privacy policy is more accessible and redesign its account settings feature to allow users to find its controls more easily.
It will also provide "unambiguous and comprehensive information regarding data processing, including an exhaustive list of the types of data processed by Google and the purposes for which data is processed".
Among other clarifications, Google will have to include information about who may collect "anonymous identifiers" - which are similar to cookies - and the purposes to which they put that data.
It will also be made to ensure that "passive users are better informed about the processing of their data". The ICO defines passive users as people who use Google, but who are not signed in.
Google has until 30 June 2015 to implement the changes and it is believed it will roll out a single policy across the European Union in order to satisfy each of the regulators that opened investigations.
It has also dropped appeals related to investigations being undertaken by the French and Spanish watchdogs.
"This undertaking marks a significant step forward following a long investigation and extensive dialogue," said Steve Eckersley, the ICO's head of enforcement.
He added: "Whilst our investigation concluded that this case hasn't resulted in substantial damage and distress to consumers, it is still important for organisations to properly understand the impact of their actions and the requirement to comply with data protection law."
A Google spokesman said: "We're pleased that the ICO has decided to close its investigation. We have agreed improvements to our privacy policy and will continue to work constructively with the Commissioner and his team in the future."
His 81st-minute strike came two minutes after after Gary Oliver had prodded the home side into the lead.
It means Hibs end the day still ahead of Dundee United on goal difference after the Taysiders drew with Raith Rovers.
Morton stay in front of the Kirkcaldy side on goal difference.
Oliver gave the Greenock side a second-half lead after the ball was twice rattled against the crossbar, forcing it home from a couple of yards out.
But within a minute Cummings, who had only just come on as a substitute, equalised with a superb curling free kick from 25 yards.
Kris Commons made his Hibernian debut with Cummings making way to accommodate the emergency loan Celtic player.
The goalless first half featured several meaty challenges, with few genuine chances, although Oliver came close for Morton, who were the better side in the opening 45 minutes.
But a disappointing crowd of 2,156 witnessed much more thrilling stuff after the break.
A draw was probably a fair result. Morton can point to a thrilling Jamie McDonagh solo run over 60 yards, while Hibs had two 90th minute opportunities for Cummings and his fellow sub Grant Holt but neither could find a winner.
Greenock Morton manager Jim Duffy: "Another injury to a forward player was the last thing we needed but I was very pleased with the way we played, particularly in the first half.
"We don't have the resources Hibs have and Jason Cummings as a substitute underlines that. Losing a goal so quickly after scoring is usually a worry, but it was a clever free kick. You have to give him credit.
"Neil Lennon got a reaction from his players in the second half.
"We are battling hard to be in the play off position. We are not a bad side and we are 100 per cent committed."
Hibernian manager Neil Lennon: "We didn't pass the ball well enough in the first half.
"Kris Commons got better as the match went on. He'll feel the benefit of this match but on the balance a draw was probably right.
"It's never a foregone conclusion coming here.
"I toyed with starting Jason Cummings and on reflection maybe I should have. He has a real chance of starting next week."

With seven minutes remaining Danny Ward's composed finish looked to have given the Millers a consolation goal.
However, Best's two headers rescued an unlikely point for Rotherham.
The Rams had run riot early in the second half with Tom Ince striking twice - first rifling a low shot home before rolling the ball into an empty net - in between Chris Martin's tap-in.
Millers boss Neil Warnock's decision to bring on Republic of Ireland international striker Best with 20 minutes remaining proved to be an inspired one, as the relegation-threatened hosts stay a point adrift of safety.
Best - who was sent off in his first match for the club against Leeds in November - twice headed in at the back post, with his first coming just two minutes after Ward's fourth goal of the season.
Derby struck three times within 10 second-half minutes as a poor headed clearance was collected by Ince, whose brilliant first-time shot gave Lee Camp no chance and nestled in the left corner.
Nice link-up play with Cyrus Christie saw Martin net for the 14th time this season, before the two goalscorers combined as Martin crossed for Ince to net the easiest of goals.
Derby's alarming surrender of their lead cost Darren Wassall's side two vital points in their push for promotion, as they fell four points behind both Hull and Brighton above them with both having games in hand.
Rotherham manager Neil Warnock:
"I can't think of another comeback as good as that, but I forget.
"It's the sweetest because we were playing against a very good team and the players they have got and that's why I am enjoying the challenge.
"They will be going home thinking they have lost the game, you shouldn't concede three goals in the final 10 minutes.
"This is the result of the season, never mind the day. I don't think there will be another one like this.
"We were 3-0 down against Derby County, with the players they have got, and have got a point."
Derby manager Darren Wassall:

"For 82 minutes I thought that was the best we have played all season.
"I asked for a reaction after QPR and we certainly got it. What happened after that was baffling, inexplicable, inexcusable and everybody connected with the football club is absolutely gutted.
"You feel like you have lost. With Rotherham's form we would have taken a point at the start of the game. But at 3-0 after 82 minutes you are expected to win the game.
"We need to work on our game management. We should be going home with all three points and we are going home with one in a very bad frame of mind.
"The fans were right to boo us off. They saw us dominate Rotherham for 80 minutes, we could have been 6-0 up we were that good."
The Wearsiders lost just one of their past 10 games and won two from four before Wednesday's 3-0 win against Everton sealed their safety.
Local rivals Newcastle were relegated by that win, as well as Norwich.
"We've done something incredible," Mannone told BBC Newcastle.
"But we've got to learn now not to put ourselves in the same situation.
"I'm annoyed that we have not avoided it. We've got a good squad, a good coaching staff and a good manager - and it needs to be a base for us to push on now."
Survival has secured a 10th consecutive season of Premier League football for the Black Cats, although this and the previous two seasons have been spent battling against the drop at the tail end of the campaign.
Last season, Dutchman Dick Advocaat came into the club to lead a survival charge, with Gus Poyet having achieved the same feat 12 months before.
"I always have a good feeling, this is Sunderland, before the end of the season something magic happens," Mannone added.
"We play like finals every game, pressure becomes enjoyment when you turn the pressure into positive results.
"I have to thank everyone of my team-mates and everyone involved with the club and the fans have been amazing.
"When you play top teams like Arsenal, Chelsea or Everton, if you play your way and you have these fans behind you, you'll do it."
Barrow, 24, has scored once in 51 Premier League appearances for the Swans.
Pedraza, 20, who helped Spain win the Uefa European Under-19 Championship, has been on loan at CD Lugo in the Spanish second tier.
Both players could feature against Huddersfield on Sunday.

Adebolajo, 29, and Adebowale, 22, drove into Fusilier Rigby with a car before hacking him to death in Woolwich, south-east London, in May last year.
The judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, said Adebolajo's was one of those "rare cases" warranting a whole-life term.
The pair were absent during sentencing after a fracas in the dock.
As Mr Justice Sweeney began to sentence the men they started shouting and scuffling with court security guards. They had to be forced to the ground and were removed from court.
Fusilier Rigby's family wept as Adebolajo shouted "Allahu Akbar", and Adebowale called out "that's a lie" as the judge told them their extremist views were "a betrayal of Islam".
One relative needed medical treatment after the outbursts. The judge later apologised for the fact that the family had to witness what happened in the dock.
Sentencing the killers in their absence, the judge said they had been convicted on "overwhelming" evidence of the "barbaric" murder of Fusilier Rigby.
The British Muslim converts had "butchered" the 25-year-old soldier, he said.
Adebolajo was the leader of the "joint enterprise", the judge said, but Adebowale played his part "enthusiastically".
Mr Justice Sweeney said the pair carried out the murder "in a way that would generate maximum media coverage".
"He had done absolutely nothing to deserve what you did to him", the judge said. The pair created "a bloodbath", he went on, adding: "You both gloried in what you had done.
"Your sickening and pitiful conduct was in stark contrast to the women at the scene who tended to Lee Rigby's body and challenged what you had done."
Speaking outside court, Det Insp Pete Sparks, police liaison officer for Fusilier Rigby's family, read a short statement on behalf of the family saying "no other sentence would have been acceptable".
"We feel satisfied that justice has been served for Lee", the statement said.
Callum May and Jane Peel
Mr Justice Sweeney was not far into his sentencing remarks in Court 2 of the Old Bailey when trouble erupted in the high-security glass dock.
"You were radicalised and each became an extremist - espousing a cause and views which, as has been said elsewhere, are a betrayal of Islam and of the peaceful Muslim communities who give so much to our country," the judge was telling the defendants.
"It's a lie!" shouted Adebowale from the dock. "It's not a betrayal of Islam! You and America will never be safe"
Nine security guards did their best to stifle the outburst, piling onto the men, and lifting Adebolajo into the air.
From the bench, the judge indicated with a downturned finger that the murderers should be removed form court.
His case was a rare one, where not only was the seriousness exceptionally high but the requirements of just punishment and retribution made a whole-life term the just penalty, he said.
But the judge said Adebowale had played a lesser role in the murder of Lee Rigby. His age and his mental health were also given as reasons for his 45-year minimum term.
Home Secretary Theresa May said the sentences showed "extremist behaviour of any kind will never be tolerated in Britain".
"Our thoughts are of course with Lee Rigby's family, who have endured unimaginable heartbreak over the last nine months. I hope they will take some comfort from this judgment."
Sue Hemming, head of special crime and counter terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service, said Adebolajo and Adebowale had "revelled in one of the most appalling terrorist murders I have seen".
"Not only was the attack brutal and calculated; it was also designed to advance extremist views," she said.
And Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, said the sentences reflected the "true horror" of Fusilier Rigby's murder.
Earlier, Fusilier Rigby's wife Rebecca said her young child would grow up to see images "no son should have to endure".
Her statement was one of those from Fusilier Rigby's family, read out by prosecutor Richard Whittam QC ahead of the sentencing.
Mrs Rigby said she had accepted her husband's life would be at risk when he was deployed to Afghanistan, but not when he was at home.
"When you wave someone off you accept that there is a chance you will never see them again. You do not expect to see this on the streets of the UK," she said.
The court also heard part of a statement from the soldier's stepfather, Ian Rigby.
He said: "After all he'd been through in Afghanistan, all Lee was doing was walking through London. After seeing the television, you just can't comprehend it."
Adebolajo and Adebowale faced whole-life jail terms after a Court of Appeal ruling last week upheld judges' right to jail the most serious offenders in England and Wales for the rest of their lives.
Earlier during the hearing, counsel for Adebolajo, David Gottlieb, warned an indeterminate sentence could "create a martyr".
Mr Gottlieb also said Adebolajo was "not so depraved or wicked that he is incapable of redemption", adding the murder "shares the characteristics of a religiously aggravated crime".
He said Adebolajo had intended to die and still believed he should be put to death.
Adebolajo had claimed he was a "soldier of Allah" and the killing was an act of war.
But Mr Justice Sweeney rejected his mitigation, saying Adebolajo had "no real prospect of rehabilitation".
Counsel for Michael Adebowale, Abbas Lakha QC, told the court the killing was "horrific" but was not a case "where the offending is so exceptionally high that Mr Adebowale must be kept in prison for his life".
He said: "The right and proper sentence is one which does leave open the possibility of release in the future. Any other sentence would be inhuman."
Addressing Adebowale during sentencing, the judge said: "I am persuaded that the combination of your lesser role, your age and your preâ€
At least 80 members of the Yazidi religious minority are believed to have been killed with women and children abducted in a village in Iraq.
IS is also accused of killing 700 tribesmen opposing them in Syria's Deir Ezzor province, over a two-week period.
The violence has displaced an estimated 1.2 million people in Iraq alone.
US aircraft are providing air support for Kurdish forces in northern Iraq to drive back the militants and retake the strategic Mosul dam.
US Central Command said it carried out nine air strikes on Saturday, hitting targets near Irbil and the dam.
The strikes "destroyed or damaged four armoured personnel carriers, seven armed vehicles, two Humvees and an armoured vehicle," a statement said.
"All aircraft exited the strike areas safely."
The UK, Germany and other countries are delivering humanitarian aid for refugees in the north.
IS first emerged in Syria, fighting President Bashar al-Assad during the ongoing civil war there, but it has since overrun parts of northern Iraq, making its capital in the city of Mosul.
Pursuing an extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam, it has persecuted non-Muslims and Shia Muslims, whom it regards as heretics.
Kurdish and Yazidi sources say the attack on the Yazidis took place in the village of Kawju (also spelt Kocho), near the town of Sinjar, on Friday afternoon.
Reports say the men were killed after refusing to convert to Islam. A US drone strike later destroyed two vehicles belonging to the militants.
Men were separated from women and children under 12 years old and the men and male teenagers were led away in groups of a few dozen each and shot on the edge of the village, a wounded man who escaped by feigning death told AP news agency.
The fighters then walked among the bodies, using pistols to finish off anyone who appeared to still be alive, the 42-year-old man said by phone from an area where he was hiding, on condition of anonymity.
"They thought we were dead, and when they went away, we ran away," he said. "We hid in a valley until sundown, and then we fled to the mountains."
A Yazidi refugee from a different village, Moujamma Jazira, told AFP news agency that people there had also been massacred, after trying in vain to fight back.
Dakhil Atto Solo said that 300 men had been executed in his village, and the women and children abducted. The report could not be verified independently.
Meanwhile, UK-based Syrian opposition activists reported that IS had executed 700 members of the al-Sheitaat tribe in the oil-rich province of Deir Ezzor.
"Reliable sources" reported that many of the tribesmen had been beheaded, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"Those who were executed are all al-Sheitaat," Observatory director Rami Abdelrahman told Reuters news agency by telephone. "Some were arrested, judged and killed."
The news comes after reports on social media in recent days of al-Sheitaat tribesmen being decapitated by militants, their severed heads left in public view in streets.
Tribesmen in the area had tried to drive out IS at the beginning of the month, in a rare display of local resistance. IS responded by rushing in reinforcements.
Kurdish forces supported by US air strikes battled on Saturday to retake Mosul dam, the country's largest, from IS.
Kurdish Peshmerga fighters shelled militants' positions and there was an unconfirmed report of a ground attack.
In north-eastern Syria, Kurdish forces have been giving military training to Iraqi Yazidis to help them fight IS, Reuters news agency reports.
In Western cities, demonstrators marched in support of Iraq's minorities, Yazidis, Christians and others, on Saturday.
In Paris, Kurdish protesters rallied against the "genocide of Yazidi Kurds" while in Hannover, Germany, a protester at a march told AP news agency: "Politicians must act now against the genocide... where not only Yazidis but also Christians, Arameans, Assyrians, heretics and anyone who doesn't agree with the inhuman world view of the terrorists of the IS is massacred, even decapitated. Now is the time for politicians to act."
Two Airbus flights carrying UK aid supplies landed in the Kurdish city of Irbil on Saturday and German military transport planes have also begun delivering aid.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on a visit to Baghdad that he hoped the new Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, would be able to represent all the different regions and religions in the country, as this was the only way to prevent disenchanted Iraqis from backing IS.
The 40-year-old Moonlight star was speaking after she was awarded an OBE by the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
"I really don't think that they've moved on from Daniel," she said.
"I think there's a very good chance that Daniel will come back. I think it's way too early to be thinking about other people at this stage."
Harris, who received her OBE for services to drama, added: "I think the fact that the last two Bonds - Spectre and Skyfall - have been the highest-grossing Bond movies of all time shows that people love him as Bond, and they desperately want him to return.
"And I don't think Daniel is immune to that... I think he's very aware, so I think that adds an extra level of pressure. But he has to ultimately do what feels right to him.
"But I know that we, as a cast, collectively want him back. I know that Barbara and Michael - our producers - desperately want him back, so I think the only person that needs persuading is Daniel."
She said collecting her award from the Queen was "lovely", adding that Her Majesty asked her what she was working on at the moment.
In an earlier interview, Harris said that her OBE sent out "a very powerful statement" to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Harris was raised by a single parent in a north London council flat.
"As a black actress from the background I came from... I think it's incredibly important," she told the BBC.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to have my work recognised in this way."
Harris, who is up for a best supporting actress Oscar for playing a drug-addicted mother in Moonlight, was previously seen as Winnie Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.
She is also known for playing Miss Moneypenny in the last two James Bond films.
Film-maker Danny Boyle, who directed Harris in 28 Days Later and his stage version of Frankenstein, turned down a knighthood when he was offered one in 2012.
Yet Harris said she never contemplated spurning the OBE she was awarded in the New Year Honours list.
"I know some people turn down honours for their own reasons," said the actress. "But I was not going to turn down an OBE.
"I'm always interested in spreading positive images and being a positive role model as much as I can."
Born in 1976, Harris was raised by her mother Carmen, a former EastEnders scriptwriter who now works as a faith healer.
Harris has no relationship with her father, who left her mother when she became pregnant at the age of 19.
It's been quite a year already for Harris, whose performance in Moonlight has seen her nominated for a whole heap of honours.
The Golden Globe and the Bafta may have gone elsewhere, but there's still an outside chance she could win an Oscar on Sunday for her role in Barry Jenkins' indie drama about a young black gay man growing up in Miami.
To do so, though, she will have to beat bookies' favourite Viola Davis, whose performance in Fences has pipped hers in most of the awards ceremonies to date.
Harris herself said after her investiture ceremony: "I don't think I have a chance of winning at all," adding that it is "incredible" to be nominated.
Then again, there's always a chance of an upset - as shown at the Baftas, when Lion's Dev Patel beat Moonlight's Mahershala Ali to the supporting actor award.
An Oscar would be a remarkable conclusion to Harris' involvement in the film, given she shot her role in just three days and originally turned it down.
She told The One Show last week: "I've always wanted to portray positive images of black women and playing an addict didn't really fall into that."
Last month Harris was honoured at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards for a performance that also saw her in contention for a Screen Actors Guild prize.
As far as she is concerned though, the honours, nominations and critical acclaim she and her colleagues have achieved have already done their job.
"Moonlight is about communities and characters that have been generally ignored in film, largely because people said they weren't profitable," she said.
"I hope people will look at the success of the film and realise there is an audience out there that is hungry to see these movies."
Moonlight is out on general release. The Academy Awards take place in Los Angeles on 26 February.

Multichannel TV, via cable and satellite, is widely available. The radio market, particularly in Bangkok, is fiercely competitive. There are more than 60 stations in and around the capital.
The media are free to criticise government policies, and cover instances of corruption and human rights abuses, but journalists tend to exercise self-censorship regarding the military, the monarchy, the judiciary and other sensitive issues.
Restrictions on media output accompanied the introduction of martial law and an army coup in May 2014.
The print media are largely privately-run, with a handful of Thai-language dailies accounting for most newspaper sales.
There were some 23 million internet users by 2012. Pornographic sites, anti-monarchy sites and anti-government sites are subject to filtering. Hundreds of websites were blocked by the military following the 2014 coup.
Facebook is the most popular social network.

Jason Puncheon scored his first goal of the season, cutting in from the left to score from 20 yards and lift Palace 10 points above the relegation zone.
Norwich will point to a penalty appeal when Matt Jarvis was barged over, but they had few clear-cut chances.
They lie four points above 18th-placed Sunderland, who have two games in hand.
The Canaries claimed a late win over Newcastle last weekend but, with 16th-placed Palace increasing the gap between the teams to six points, Norwich's home game against Sunderland next Saturday could prove crucial.
After Aston Villa neared relegation and Newcastle's defeat at Southampton, Palace now have a sizeable gap and another point should be enough to ensure survival.
Relive Crystal Palace's crucial win over Norwich
Having missed what he described as a "sitter" in the first half when he sliced a chance wide from 12 yards, Puncheon appeared to be in tears after his game-winning goal which meant Palace became the final team from England's top four divisions to win a league game this year.
He was later withdrawn as Palace hung on, but a first goal since May 2015 earned a first Palace win since 19 December, a time when they appeared to be pushing for a European place.
Their barren run since has included six straight home defeats but having earned a point at West Ham last weekend, there were signs that Alan Pardew's side were beginning to turn their form around.
The returning Dwight Gayle and Yohan Cabaye added pace and poise to Palace's play, but despite a succession of crosses, the hosts could not find a killer blow.
That changed when Puncheon scored a goal all of his own making to send waves of relief around Selhurst Park at the final whistle.
It also means that they could secured their Premier League safety before the FA Cup semi-final against Watford on 24 April, although they face Everton, Arsenal and Manchester United before then.
Norwich were the form team coming into this game, buoyed by two wins and a draw in their last three games, including their injury-time triumph against Newcastle.
In an edgy first half, they were on equal footing with the hosts as neither side threatened a breakthrough.
Palace keeper Wayne Hennessey had some nervous moments but the biggest talking point came when Norwich's Jarvis appeared to be barged over by Damien Delaney. However, referee Michael Oliver waved away the visitors' appeals.
The Canaries did increase their intensity once Palace went ahead and Ryan Bennett, who was solid in defence, had a volley well saved by Hennessey.
But Palace stood firm in the face of late pressure, despite Norwich keeper John Ruddy joining the attack from set-pieces.
Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew: "I was as nervous today as I have ever been in football. Sometimes the media can keep drilling it into you and in the end you are carrying that burden. I wanted to calm them down at half-time and they delivered for me.
"It was a robust challenge from Damien Delaney, to say the least. We had the best referee in the Premier League and he didn't say it was a penalty so I'll go with that.
"We are four points from mid-table and that is where we should be. If we can finish as high as we can then we can still get 11th. That's what we want to hunt down."

Norwich manager Alex Neil: "It was down to fine margins - there wasn't much in the game. You could see what was at stake for both sides and there weren't many clear cut chances for either side.
"Matt Jarvis was adamant at half-time that it was a penalty but it was difficult for me to see.
"I wouldn't put [the performance] down to nerves, it was just that nobody wants to make a mistake. You are just hoping to make the breakthrough first."

UK scientists will monitor the Himalayan peak Dhaulagiri's ascent via a chip implanted in each members' body.
Its summit is at 8,167m (26,794t). Beyond 8,000m (26,246ft) climbers enter the oxygen-starved realm known as the "death zone".
The Leeds Beckett University scientists are at base camp for the study.
The two-inch chip device is implanted just above the heart of each member of the climbing team, who are all members of the military, for the study set up to help soldiers better prepare for fighting at high altitude.
The chip stores and uploads data of each heartbeat during the expedition by satellite link and is the first time the military has used such technology to look at altitude effects.
There have been many studies on how the body reacts to high altitude but none that show how heart rhythms change at extreme heights.
What's it like to climb into the 'death zone'?
Mountaineer Alan Hinkes, from North Yorkshire, was the first Briton to conquer the world's 14 highest peaks. He describes how it feels to climb above 8,000m.
At that altitude you need to be able to suffer because your body starts to shutdown and you are basically slowly dying.
There is no oxygen and temperatures on Dhaulagiri can plummet to -20C at summit, so it's really important that you acclimatise slowly.
You feel terrible, it's like suffering from the flu and having a hangover at the same time. Your appetite changes, you can't sleep and you have vivid dreams.
Hitting the summit can only be done on a handful of days - you can't do it if the jet stream is hitting the top because you will get blown off into the Indian Ocean.
Other trekking teams will join the expedition to carry out a number of medical studies.
Expedition leader and Royal Navy Surgeon Commander Adrian Mellor, from Stokesely, North Yorkshire, said many casualties who fought in Afghanistan had to be rescued from mountains because of altitude sickness.
He said "As we fight less state-type warfare and more small terrorist groups, they're likely to be hiding in places where it's difficult to find them, which is likely to be rugged and mountainous terrain, so understanding more about the diagnosis and ways we avoid the deleterious effects of high altitude is very valuable to the military."
The expedition involving the British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, is expected to take up to two months to complete. The team's progress can be followed at @dhaulagiri2016
Around 70 homes were still cut off from the grid on Sunday as engineers worked round the clock to reconnect them.
Improving conditions later on Sunday enabled them to reach the last of the affected homes.
Rescue team members from Gwynedd, Vale of Glamorgan, Bridgend, Anglesey, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Neath Port Talbot and Denbighshire had helped.
Meanwhile, specialist flood rescue lifeboat volunteers from the RNLI in Wales have been helping with evacuation efforts in storm-hit Cumbria.
Chris Missen, a volunteer from Porthcawl, Bridgend county, who arrived with others early on Sunday, called the conditions "unprecedented".
"We've probably assisted 200 people since we arrived in Carlisle and there are at least another 200 who still need our help," he said.
"The scale of this isn't like anything I've seen before, it's relentless. I've been involved in six other flood rescue operations with the RNLI and this is by far the worst."
Lassie, known officially as Lowes Female 15 or LF 15, hatched three chicks at the Dunkeld reserve last summer.
She returned there on 18 March, two weeks earlier than expected.
Lassie took over from long-term resident "Lady", who reared 50 chicks at the site.
She was joined by her mate a week after her arrival and their nest was eagerly watched for the first egg by viewers around the world via webcam.
Lassie laid her first egg of the season last week.
Charlotte Fleming, Perthshire ranger for the Scottish Wildlife Trust, said: "This is an important milestone in the osprey breeding season, but there is still a long way to go before we can relax.
"The ospreys need to sit tight and carefully incubate their clutch for at least 30 days in all weathers, and also protect their eggs against any predators that might dare to intrude.
"Just this morning our female had to chase off a pair of crows that ventured too close to the nest.
"It's possible for ospreys to lay four eggs, as the previous female at Loch of the Lowes did so on two occasions.
"We will be keeping a close eye on her behaviour over the next few days just in case she has another surprise for us, but all of our staff and volunteers are more than happy with a clutch of three eggs for now."
Ospreys typically lay between two and three eggs in a season.
Once extinct in the UK, there are now around 240 breeding pairs of ospreys thanks to the efforts of nature conservation charities including the Scottish Wildlife Trust,

Local charities and an MP have warned that survivors of domestic violence could be at risk as a result.
Cease 24, which offers victims support and advice, had been part-funded by Northumberland County Council.
The service, based in the north of the county, is run by charity Victim Support with a mixture of public donations and local authority funding.
A local charity supporting rape victims, Grace, warned that north Northumberland would have no service for domestic violence survivors as a result of the closure.
Andrea Perrett from Grace said: "Because Cease 24 is only working with high-risk clients, the danger is that these survivors are not going to have support."
Berwick Liberal Democrat MP Sir Alan Beith called on the three agencies to work out a solution.
Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Vera Baird said she would not have funding for victims' services until April next year.
The council said it would maintain its current commitment to supporting victims of domestic abuse, despite having to make £32m of savings this year.
The 31-year-old central midfielder did not travel to Germany on Cardiff's pre-season tour and manager Paul Trollope has confirmed Dikgacoi can leave.
Adam le Fondre and Federico Macheda have already been told they can go and Trollope: said: "He's in a similar situation to Le Fondre and Macheda."
Dikgacoi has played 17 league games since signing for Cardiff in 2014.
"If the right thing comes along in terms of a move away then it's something we'll consider," Trollope told the South Wales Echo.
The 54-times times capped international, who has one year left on his Cardiff contract, played 30 minutes of the pre-season friendly win at Shrewsbury Town but did not travel to Germany as he worked on his fitness.
"He stayed back with the younger group to stay and train there, I thought that would be a move which would benefit all parties," added Trollope.
Dikgacoi, who was part of the South Africa squad for the 2010 World Cup finals, has suffered long-standing knee problems since joining the Bluebirds from Crystal Palace in June 2014.
The Warriors pulled off a huge result to beat French champions Racing 92 in Paris last weekend and host the return game at Scotstoun on Friday.
Fagerson says the focus has to be on one game at a time but admits the Warriors have big ambitions.
"That's every team's aim in the Champions Cup - to win it. If I told you otherwise, I'd be lying," he said.
"But I'm not thinking about that at all - just focused on the task ahead this weekend."
Warriors are second in Pool One, one point behind Munster, who have a game in hand along with Racing, although the French side sit bottom without a point.
Fagerson has four caps for Scotland but is still surprised to be starting in a side so close to qualifying for the quarter-finals of Europe's top club competition.
"We've been close before and had some tough pools a few times and this is definitely the goal," said the 20-year-old.
"It is amazing to be part of and I have to pinch myself at times. I didn't expect any of this at all."
Fagerson broke into the Warriors side as they won the 2014-15 Pro12 title and agrees that the win over Racing was their best achievement since then.
However, the forward stressed that "the job is only half done" and coach Gregor Townsend pointed out that, with only three pool games played, it is too early to think beyond qualifying for the last eight.
"We will have to win two out of our next three games and we have Racing, Munster and Leicester still to go, so these are very tough matches," said Townsend.
"Munster have been on fire for the last six or seven weeks. They beat Leicester easily at home.
"We are going to have to play very well just to get out of our pool and, if we did so, it would be historic."
Townsend was coy about Warriors' chances of winning the trophy.
"No Glasgow team has made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup and, once you are into the last eight, anything can happen," he said.
"If you look at history, we have never got out of our pool, so let's just deal with the difficulty that is qualifying for the quarter-final stage.
"For a one-off game, that was tremendous at the weekend. We've had them before - going to Montpellier a couple of years ago, Bath at home.
"The European Champions Cup is much more difficult to get through than it used to be and we've never achieved it in the past.
"Now, with the 20 best teams in Europe, all qualifying by merit bar one team, it shows you have to play your best rugby to have a chance of getting through."
In April, 80.1% of patients spent less than four hours in urgent care departments before being admitted, transferred or discharged - up from 76.3% in March.
But the performance remains well below the Welsh Government's target of 95%.
The figures also showed 30% fewer patients spent more than 12 hours in A&E in April than the month before.
However the performance in April was generally worse than the same period last year.
More than 3,000 patients waited more than 12 hours in April 2016 compared to 4,389 in March - although the Welsh Government's target states nobody should wait that long.
The Welsh Government has previously said a deterioration in performance this winter reflected how A&E departments had been busier than ever.
BBC Wales understands emergency departments struggled to cope at certain times, in particular with the number of very sick and elderly patients. This was also reflected in England.
The Welsh Government said it expected health boards to "eliminate" lengthy waits in emergency care facilities and would continue to monitor the situation.
Welsh Conservative health spokesman Darren Millar said the figures showed there were too few hospital beds, and difficulties in accessing GP appointments.
"Today's figures are further evidence of Labour's mismanagement of our healthcare system and it is patients and hardworking NHS staff who are left paying the price for that failure," he said.
William Flannigan is alleged to have mislead buyers of homes at Lakeminster Park in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
Hull Crown Court heard claims the developer was the target of a "carefully worked out strategy".
Mr Flannigan, 51, of Stanneylands Road, Wilmslow, denies 10 counts of fraud by misrepresentation.
Christopher Harding, for the defence, told the jury of a plan "formulated by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and [Hull law firm] Gosschalks to attack Mr Flannigan ... with the intention to deflect scrutiny and public concern away from the council".
The park owner is alleged to have sold properties as permanent homes knowing they only had planning permission to be used for holiday purposes.
Under cross-examination, Peter Ashcroft, the council's former head of planning, dismissed the suggestion Humberside Police had been involved by the council to avoid it facing any legal action.
He said Lakeminster Park had been "a serious breach of planning policy, which could have set a very dangerous precedent for other holiday homes".
The court also heard the law firm had only become involved because residents were advised to take legal advice after being told their homes did not have valid planning permission.
The judge reminded the jury its "primary concern is what residents were told about the purchase of the homes. Eventually that's what you're going to decide".
The park on the outskirts of Beverley was home to about 200 people.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council took action to evict the residents of the 76 properties after the authority rejected retrospective planning permission in 2012.
The case continues.
Officers targeted several addresses, "predominantly in the county of Conwy," police said.
Dyfed-Powys Police, the National Crime Agency and North Wales Police were all involved in the operation and armed officers assisted as a precaution.
The men were all arrested in Llandudno Junction and are in custody while investigations continue.
Hedd Wyn, who was born Ellis Humphrey Evans, was killed on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium on 31 July 1917.
The shepherd poet, of Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd, was later named winner of the National Eisteddfod chair, now known as the Black Chair.
Archdruid, Geraint Lloyd Owen, unveiled the plaque.
He said the event on Sunday was "awfully emotional", with a thousand people attending the ceremony - hundreds of them from Wales.
Cor Rygbi Gogledd Cymru sang a number of hymns and dedications at the service, along with the Welsh tenor, Rhys Meirion, and the choir from Hedd Wyn's home town, Cor Meibion Prysor.
Alwyn Bevan, the leader of the rugby choir, also placed a wreath at the site with his wife, Glena.
"It is very important as one gets older to make certain the younger generation are kept aware," he said.
"Keeping Hedd Wyn's name alive helps do this."
On Monday, a service will be held at his graveside, with further Passchendaele commemorations to take place across Wales.
Two people were seriously hurt, 31 injured and many buildings destroyed in the blast in New Ferry, Wirral.
The cost of recovering from an incident of this "size and impact" should be covered by "local resources", the Minister for the Northern Powerhouse said in a letter to Wirral Council.
The decision is "heartless," leader of the council Phil Davies said.
Jake Berry said in the letter that the explosion did not meet the government's threshold for providing financial support for emergency response costs.
"While I understand that recovering from the New Ferry explosion requires funding, for an incident of this size and impact we would expect these costs to be covered using existing local resources", he said.
Mr Davies said the government "has turned its back on the people of New Ferry" but that the council will "renew calls" to ministers to meet their responsibilities.
Wirral council has so far spent £300,000 on the recovery effort, he said.
Alison McGovern, the Labour MP for Wirral South, who earlier called for the government's help, said it was "hugely disappointing".
"People in New Ferry will be feeling totally let down that after being strung along with months of warm words from government ministers, they have not been prepared to back it up with action", she said.
Labour councillor Warren Ward said after waiting "18 weeks for any real government response" he was "almost speechless" to receive this letter, which he said is "a direct kick in the teeth for all these residents affected."
The city last hosted the event at the Kelvin Hall in 1990.
The Emirates was used during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and has hosted other sporting events.
And British Athletics CEO Niels de Vos said the Games demonstrated the city "holds the ability to host big sporting events to the most exacting standards".
And he added: "This year's 2016 Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix, hosted by British Athletics, has sold out months in advance, also demonstrating the huge support for elite athletics there is within the Scottish public."
The bid to host the 2019 event is being submitted in partnership with Glasgow City and Event Scotland.
"We believe that, if successful, Glasgow would establish a new standard for the European Indoor Athletics Championships against which all future editions would be measured," said De Vos.
It follows a successful high court appeal by a father last year against a £120 fine levied by the Isle of Wight.
The case will reach the Supreme Court this week where judges will consider what constitutes regular attendance.
Ministers argue missing days at school has an impact on pupils' GCSEs.
Most parents simply pay the fines issued for unauthorised absence from school to avoid prosecution.
But Jon Platt refused after facing prosecution for taking his daughter out of school for a term-time holiday.
He has argued that her attendance was regular because even after the holiday it was over the 90% threshold set out by the Isle of Wight in its policy.
It was an argument the high court accepted.
When I met him recently on the Isle of Wight Mr Platt said he never expected the case to reach the highest court in the land.
While he has fought it on the technicalities of the law, he thinks there is a broader principle at stake.
"Ultimately someone has to have the final say about the days a child goes to school. Is that the state or the child's parents? I think that's what this boils down to."
Since last year he has been contacted by hundreds of parents angry at the cost of holidays and asking advice about fighting fines.
In September 2013 new guidelines came into force in England, making the policy on unauthorised term-time absences the toughest in the UK.
It followed concerns that some families had begun to see going away in term-time as an entitlement.
Now head teachers in England are only able to give permission for a pupil to miss school in "exceptional circumstances."
Each local authority draws up its own policy on what to do with cases that are sent to them and as result of the judgement many have had to look again at the detail.
Term-time holiday: What are the rules?
Holiday outlook - what might change?
The BBC has gathered information from 108 councils and found 35 have changed their policy as a direct result of Jon Platt's case.
A further five are currently reviewing their guidelines and 28 have withdrawn fines issued to parents.
Of the councils that provided information, 22 told the BBC the number of parents taking term-time holidays has increased.
In North Somerset 100 fines have been put on hold while the council considers its policy.
There is a remarkable variation in the number of fixed penalty notices issued to parents.
So while Suffolk issued 6,008 fines in the 2015-16 school year there were just 108 on North Tyneside for example.
Richmond upon Thames issued none in the same period.
Ministers have argued that missing even a few days of school can have a damaging effect, but some have taken issue with how the evidence has been presented.
Last year the Department for Education published research which showed each extra day missed reduced the chances of a pupil gaining 5 GCSEs at grade A-C.
"Nobody should be condoning prolonged absences from school," says Professor Stephen Gorard from Durham University.
But he believes the Department for Education has overstated its case in telling parents that missing just a few days of school for a holiday can damage pupils' chances of getting good GCSEs.
"It's not fair to be that adamant about the link. We know there is an association between lower attainment and missing school - but we conflate all the different causes."
Professor Gorard says many different factors can influence how well a child does, and there is a risk of overestimating the impact of unauthorised holidays.
There is, however, backing for the government's position from many head teachers who say children taking time off scattered throughout the year disrupts teaching.
Sian Carr is President of the Association of College and School Leaders and also Executive Principal at Skinners' Kent Academy in Tunbridge Wells.
"I think your education is very important, you only get one chance at it, and so making sure that you use every single day of that education is vital."
She says the data in her own school clearly demonstrates that children who miss school do less well.
The Supreme Court will consider the arguments on Tuesday but the judges are likely to take months before outlining their decision.
Independent TD Clare Daly told the Dáil two weeks ago a garda witnessed a colleague shooting a member of the public.
She claimed he was told by senior officers to say he was not present.
Ms Fitzgerald said anyone with information should produce evidence.
She said the matter would then be investigated
RTÉ reports that Garda Commissioner Noírín O'Sullivan said she was not aware of the details of any such case but that anyone with information could report it to her or to the Garda Ombudsman.
Ms Fitzgerald said An Garda Síochána was the appropriate body to investigate the claim.
Ms O'Sullivan said she was aware of the allegation but not the specifics and said there was no police investigation under way.
She said police would need more details before concluding that this was an allegation of murder.
Ms Fitzgerald said all information in relation to the statements made in the Dáil were now being examined and would be followed up.
She said she had asked for a full report on the matter.

Ashley Taylor, 32, died in the crash near Watton, Norfolk, in January 2014.
Capt Alison Dray, 31, from Rochester, Kent, admitted causing death by dangerous driving and was jailed for nine months at Norwich Crown Court.
The Royal Logistics Corp member served in Afghanistan and defused 60 Taliban bombs.
She was in Norfolk for training when her hire car hit Mr Taylor on the A1075 near Watton on 8 January.
The court heard she had used her iPhone "extensively" in the moments leading up to the crash, and her car had mounted the kerb, killing Mr Taylor instantly.
Prosecutor Christopher Morgan told the court Dray had accessed a website with details of a hotel in Switzerland and had taken a screenshot on the phone.
Judge Anthony Bate said Dray, who received a Queen's commendation, was a "decorated soldier of previous exemplary character".
He had no option but to jail her, he added.
"You have served our country bravely and with distinction. It is plain that your remorse is sincere and profound - you have an intelligent and heartfelt understanding of the misery several seconds of inattention has brought on this family," he said. | The days when women would simply throw on an old T-shirt to do some exercise are long gone.

The defender fired home from close range after the Buddies failed to deal with a late corner.
Saints had taken the lead from a first half set piece that Gary MacKenzie headed home.
Three points had seemed even more likely for the hosts when Morton's Jamie McDonagh was red carded for kicking out.
Lamie had already hit the crossbar in Paisley when his header cannoned back off the woodwork at the end of the first half.
But his maiden goal in two-and-half-years at the Greenock club came in the last seconds of the game to break the Buddies' hearts.
St Mirren's goal arrived when Stevie Mallan's corner was met confidently by the head of centre-back MacKenzie, who directed it beyond Derek Gaston.
On the hour-mark McDonagh received a straight red card from referee Nick Walsh for aiming a soft kick at Saints midfielder Rocco Quinn when the pair tangled on the ground.
The hosts failed to make their advantage count, though, and instead Jamie Lindsay and Thomas O'Ware threatened before Lamie eventually made Saints pay.
St Mirren manager Jack Ross: "Disappointed that we ended up throwing away two points but equally disappointed with our performance in the last 25 minutes.
"We were good for the first hour but didn't handle our man advantage well enough. We allowed ourselves to be put in a position where it became precarious.
"We should have retained possession better and made them work harder to get the ball.
"Aberdeen's Craig Storie should arrive on loan on the seventh of January and hopefully two or three other faces will join him as well."
Morton manager Jim Duffy: "I'm absolutely thrilled with the performance which certainly deserved the point.
"We always looked a threat and a side in control of the game, but obviously we lost a goal from a set piece and that can happen.
"It was a red card for Jamie McDonagh, absolutely no qualms about that. I told him at the end of the game that he let his team-mates down. But he's 20 years of age and he's done really well for us - he's just had a rush of blood and kicked out.
"If you score a late goal in a derby match it does feel like a victory.
"We're on the look-out for a striker."

Ninety-four of 97 schools in the 46,000-student district were closed for the day.
A union representing the district's teachers urged them to call out sick because of dwindling funds.
The union says there is not enough money to pay teachers for the summer or for summer schooling.
The teachers protested poor working conditions in January, calling for another "sick-out".
Many schools in the district are in disrepair, with mould, mildew, leaking pipes and unsanitary working conditions.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder passed a law providing emergency funding for the district to stay open. The state legislature is considering a $270 million (£184 million) restructuring plan for the district.
It is illegal for teachers in state schools to go on strike in the state of Michigan.
The union's interim president, Ivy Bailey, said in a statement that "by refusing to guarantee that we will be paid for our work, [Detroit Public Schools] is effectively locking our members out of the classrooms.''
As the BBC's Sean Coughlan reported in February, the school closures are the latest stage in a dispute about pay and what teachers say are the terrible conditions in Detroit's schools, with overcrowded, crumbling, unhygienic classrooms and chronic underfunding.
'Sick outs' staged by teachers banned from striking
"The gym is closed because half of the floor is buckled and the other half suffered so much rainwater damage from the dripping ceiling that it became covered with toxic black mould. Instead of professionally addressing the problem, a black tarp simply was placed over the entire area like a Band-Aid," Lakia Wilson, a teacher the the district's Spanish Elementary-Middle School, wrote in a blog post in January.
"How can you teach or learn in conditions like these?"
The number of students in the Detroit Public School system has fallen by about 80% compared with the 1970s.
Bankruptcy judge Steven Rhodes, who oversees the district, called the union's "drastic call to action" unnecessary.
He called the sick-out "counterproductive and detrimental".
South Yorkshire Police has charged one person for every 16 child sexual exploitation complaints over two years.
It also brought among the fewest prosecutions of child abusers in the past three years, according to the CPS.
Lib Dem Lord Scriven said victims had been "let down", while the force stressed CSE investigations involved "highly complex evidence".
Former children's minister Tim Loughton said charges and prosecutions by South Yorkshire were "completely out of sync" with other forces.
South Yorkshire was among 10 constabularies to which the BBC sent Freedom of Information requests.
The average charging rate across the other nine forces was more like one charge for every five CSE complaints; with the figure at one in eight in the West Midlands, Hampshire and Leicestershire.
1,184
CSE complaints in Greater Manchester from July 2012 to December 2015
292
resulted in charges
1,055 in Staffordshire from April 2014 to December 2015: 173 charges
1,034 in the Metropolitan Police area from May 2013 to December 2015: 210 charges
695 in South Yorkshire from January 2013 to December 2015: 46 charges
The CPS provided separate figures for prosecutions for child abuse - including sex crimes, child prostitution, child cruelty, trafficked children and historical abuse where the victim was now an adult.
It comes as survivors are due to share their personal experiences at a conference on CSE on Friday, to learn lessons from the Rotherham abuse scandal.
On Wednesday, the NSPCC said the number of reported child sex offences had risen by a third in England and Wales in a year to the equivalent of more than 113 a day.
Asked what he believed the BBC's research showed, Lord Scriven said it highlighted how South Yorkshire's Chief Constable David Crompton had failed to act with the "speed and severity required" to stop childhoods "being ruined by abuse".
The peer's comments came despite recent jail terms for three brothers who led a grooming gang a judge said caused harm of "unimaginable proportions".
Repeating his call for the chief constable to resign, Lord Scriven said: "We need to solve this for the sake of confidence in the police and the victims.
"I feel the chief constable is not the man to take this force forward."
The Conservative MP Mr Loughton said: "I will be raising these figures with the Home Affairs Select Committee."
South Yorkshire Police said the nature of CSE investigations might mean it took longer than a year to prosecute offenders and some may be charged with multiple offences.
"In the last month five people have been jailed for a total of a 102 years for a number of CSE-related offences in Rotherham. This demonstrates the determination we have to bringing those responsible for this type of crime to justice," said a spokesperson.
South Yorkshire is not alone in receiving criticism for not tackling child sex abuse: Thames Valley Police and Oxfordshire County Council were found in a serious case review in March 2015 to have made "many errors" and there was condemnation for authorities after the Rochdale grooming case.
The scale of the problem identified in Rotherham, however, dwarfed other towns and police watchdog Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary found in July the force still needed to make "major improvements" to some child protection procedures.
Retired Det Ch Insp Simon Morton, who led the Thames Valley Police investigation into abuse in Oxfordshire uncovered during an inquiry dubbed Operation Bullfinch, said he thought the number of charges across the 10 forces was "promising" because of the difficulty and distress for victims in building evidence to bring cases to court.
Stockport's Labour MP Ann Coffey, who authored a report in the wake of the Rochdale grooming case in 2012, said the number of reports suggested greater awareness among police of CSE but she was "not convinced" of greater public awareness.
"Until that happens, I don't think we will have a high level of prosecutions as members of the public make up juries."
In law, there is no specific crime of child sexual exploitation. Offenders are often charged for associated offences such as sexual activity with a child, but police forces record these associated crimes internally with CSE flags or markers, meaning they have safeguarding concerns about a child. The BBC requested numbers of offences with a CSE flag.
The 10 forces started highlighting CSE separately over the past four years - with Greater Manchester the first in July 2012 and Durham the last in November 2014 - but in that time there have been thousands of reports including from children's homes, schools and hotels.
Peter Garsden, from the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers, said "wide discrepancies between recording efficiencies in different [police force] areas" could affect investigations, with knock-on effects for victims.
Such was the demand, Barnardo's launched a fundraising appeal for £500,000 to keep its existing, voluntary-funded CSE services open "with the ambition to open more".
Javed Khan, Barnardo's chief executive, said more victims came forward "every time" it opened a new service.
"Sadly, we then have to prioritise the most high-risk cases as our services are usually oversubscribed," he said.
Many of the reports have been made since the full extent of the Rotherham scandal was revealed in the Jay report, in August 2014.
Insp Julie Woods, from West Midlands Police's public protection unit, said more children were reporting abuse.
She said: "However, children are often very reluctant to talk and where there is evidence to support a criminal justice route we will always proceed with a victimless prosecution, obviously with the support of CPS."
Durham Constabulary CSE specialist Helen Murphy said social media was used by offenders to meet children and "play on their innocence and naivety".
The "vast majority" of sexual abuse of children was however committed in their homes "by people who should be protecting them", Ms Murphy added.
Hampshire Det Supt Victoria Dennis said: "Victims of CSE can take many months, sometimes years, to be able to disclose what has happened to them. This can result in the investigation not progressing to a charge or prosecution if there is insufficient evidence at that time.
"The force is not struggling to investigate these offences; we have adequate resources to investigate these offences thoroughly."
Leicestershire Police said it had launched a new campaign called CEASE - the Commitment to Eradicate Abuse and Sexual Exploitation in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Dorset Police said it gathered evidence towards prosecutions even without complaints from victims and "regardless of the outcome...continued to support victims and help them minimise any risks to which they may be exposed".
Staffordshire Police said figures showed offences and the number of people charged over a specific time period highlighted CSE offenders were often charged with more than one offence, "which may mean that the proportion of people arrested per offence differed".
The force said it had teams to target CSE on the street, online and a multi-agency prevention team, which meant it "uncovered a greater number of offences" due to its "active focus".
The matches will take place at the Belfast venue on 10, 12, 14, 17 and 19 July, with Ireland coach John Bracewell expecting "fiercely competitive" games.
Ireland are also scheduled to host one-day fixtures against Sri Lanka and Pakistan this summer.
Away one-day internationals against Australia and South Africa have been confirmed for September.
"We're certainly getting close to the amount and variety of fixtures we need to continue our international development," said head coach Bracewell.
"The more games we play in varying conditions the more we learn and grow as a cricketing nation. I expect the five-game series against Afghanistan will be tough and fiercely competitive.
"They had an excellent series win in both ODI's and Twenty20 against Zimbabwe last year, and continued that form in the World Twenty20 beating the eventual champions West Indies, which was a fantastic achievement for them and the Associate cricket cause.
"It'll be a new experience for the players to be involved in a five-game series but one which I'm certain they'll relish and thrive on."
The teams have played four one-day internationals to date, with Ireland winning three and Afghanistan one.
Their only one-day international meeting on Irish soil came in the World Cricket League Championship in 2012 which saw Ireland win by 59 runs thanks to a half century from Ed Joyce.
Plantlife is calling for better management of grassy verges to preserve a wealth of different flowering plants.
It says road margins are a haven for wild plants that have been lost from the countryside.
Some wild plants, such as wood calamint and fen ragwort, are now found naturally only on road verges.
The charity says such plants can be brought back from near extinction, with conservation management.
But it says even endangered plants on verges deemed nature reserves have been mown or cleared.
For too long road verges have been thought of as "dull, inconsequential places that flash by in the wing mirror," said Dr Trevor Dines of Plantlife.
"Sadly, road verges have been woefully disregarded for decades and are increasingly poorly managed for nature," he added.
"Some exceptionally rare plants including fen ragwort and wood calamint are only hanging on thanks to the existence of some remaining well-managed verges.
"But we must not get complacent - only genuine management for nature will safeguard these and other plants from extinction."
Plantlife says verges should be managed for wildlife as a matter of course, while remaining safe for motorists.
Its top 10 threatened plants growing on road verges are:
In the study, Plantlife found that 724 plant species grow on road verges in the UK.
Of these, 91 are threatened or near-threatened.
If ditches and hedgerows are included, this figure rises to 97 out of 809.

It is the first time a warm-up event has been held before Wimbledon for wheelchair tennis players.
The three day competition, organised by the Tennis Foundation, will run from 6 July and will feature the 13 best men and women's players.
Both singles and doubles matches will be played before the Wimbledon events begin on 13 July.
"We've not previously had the opportunity to play competitive matches on grass ahead of Wimbledon," world number six Alfie Hewett said.
"This tournament will form a crucial part of my preparations as I aim to transfer my recent form on to the grass."
A human rights organisation said it had uncovered documents which revealed waterboarding and electric shocks were used in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.
The Pat Finucane Centre (PFC) said the allegations of torture were known at the highest political levels.
The government said it would not comment on specific allegations.
It added that it viewed torture as "abhorrent".
Waterboarding is an interrogation process that causes the subject to experience the sensation of drowning.
In 2012, a BBC documentary, Inside the Torture Chamber, broadcast claims that the practice was used 40 years ago.
On Wednesday night, Channel Four broadcast similar allegations in relation to the Parachute Regiment in the 1970s.
Documents uncovered by the Pat Finucane Centre (PFC) are said to include the minutes of a meeting between the then Prime Minister Edward Heath and the Irish Taoiseach (PM) Jack Lynch.
In the meeting, Mr Lynch raised concerns to the prime minister about the treatment of an epileptic prisoner who had been interrogated five times.
"He was forced to lie on his back on the floor, a wet towel was then placed over his head and water poured over it to give him the impression that he would be suffocated," Mr Lynch is reported as saying.
Lord Ashdown, who commanded troops in Belfast in the 1970s, said he was not surprised by the allegations.
"I think it is utterly destructive, it corrupts and invades the whole of society and I don't think the intelligence is at all useful either," Lord Ashdown told BBC Radio Foyle.
"I strongly suspect that not every unit in Belfast would have observed the same principles and it does not surprise me that this did go on."
In 2012, Liam Holden told the BBC about his experience of waterboarding.
He was 19 at the time and was being questioned by members of the Parachute Regiment about the murder of a soldier, Private Frank Bell.
Mr Holden said he was taken from his home and brought to an Army post at a school, where he was held for almost five hours.
When asked if there should be an inquiry into allegations of army torture, Lord Ashdown said: "The blunt answer is yes."
"If it is the case that these forms of torture were used, if there is documentary evidence to prove it, and if there is a case that the government was aware of it and hid it, then it is important those facts come out," he said.
"I do not believe that the government would have sanctioned these at a high level but it does appear to be the case that they certainly hid the facts and I find that unacceptable.
"This must now come out in detail and I hope the secretary of state makes the appropriate response."
The Pat Finucane Centre welcomed Lord Ashdown's comments.
"His immediate response is to say we must look at this, if it happened it must be investigated and I would hope that would be the response of others," said the centre's Paul O'Connor.
"I suppose the challenge now is to the secretary of state. What is he going to do about this new evidence?
"What we do know is that if methods are used that are entirely wrong, immoral, illegal and if nothing is done about it, they will be used again."
Sinn Féin's Pat Sheehan said: "The British state has done all in its power to cover up the extent of the role its forces played in the conflict including torture and the murder of Irish citizens.
"The British Secretary of State is attempting to legalise the policy of impunity enjoyed by British soldiers and state forces during the conflict.
"No party to the conflict should be above the law and the British government needs to end the cover ups and delays which have halted the implementation of the legacy mechanisms agreed in the Stormont House talks to deal with the legacy of the past," he added.
It was picked out of an ashtray by a nurse while the former prime minister was recuperating from a fractured hip at Middlesex Hospital in 1962.
She saved it for her little brother in a bag marked "soiled dressings disposal" where it has been kept since.
The butt had been expected to fetch £1,000.
Churchill, then 87, was admitted to hospital after falling out of bed while on holiday in Monte Carlo.
He was flown to the UK on an RAF VC10 at the request of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, and spent weeks in the private Woolavington Wing.
Churchill also contracted bronchitis and pneumonia, which led to thrombosis, but he kept up his smoking habit and eventually recovered.
Timothy Medhurst, from Duke's Auctioneers in Dorchester, said: "Churchill had already experienced many injuries, and to have such a devastating injury occur at such an old age was a threat to his stalwart 'British bulldog' image."
The winning bid came from an online buyer, although Mr Medhurst said he did not know where in the world they were based.
The ICRC urged the government to take stronger action to reduce violence.
The Red Cross says the peace deal with the Farc is working.
But it warns that it will take decades for Colombia to deal with the direct and indirect consequences of the conflict, including urban violence.
'A long way to go'
The government and the Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) signed a peace agreement in November, to put an end to more than 50 years of conflict.
In a report, the Red Cross says violence decreased in 2016 as a result of the peace process.
The signing of the deal was preceded by a ceasefire and a number of confidence-building measures.
But the ICRC calls on the government to do more to demobilise Farc child soldiers, clear landmines and tackle urban violence.
It points out that three other rebel groups remain active in the country.
"Building a country at peace requires everyone to make an effort and can take decades," the ICRC's delegation head in Colombia, Christoph Harnisch, warned.
"The tragedy of missing loved ones, the fear of unexploded ordnance, armed violence in urban settings, threats, the restrictions on the movements of whole communities in areas controlled by armed groups - these all point to there still being a long way to go in Colombia," he added.
Some 86,000 people are missing because of the conflict, says Mr Harnisch.
The government says 260,000 people have died and 6.9 million people have been displaced since 1964, when the Farc began its uprising.
Last month President Juan Manuel Santos's government began formal peace talks with the country's second-largest rebel group, the ELN (National Liberation Army).
Two other smaller groups are still engaged in armed struggle against Colombian forces: the Gaitanista Self-Defence Forces of Colombia (AGC) and the People's Liberation Army (EPL).
Research by scientists at Bangor University showed the volume of shell fish in Manx waters has fallen by about 15,000 tonnes since 2010.
The Manx government said the statistics have prompted a review in to new measures to prevent overfishing.
Fisheries minister Phil Gawne said the Irish Sea must be properly managed.
He added: "A 'boom and bust' approach is not in the interests of anyone and I remain totally committed to achieving a properly managed queenie fishery across the Irish Sea."
The measures being put in place include limiting and monitoring the amount of catch along with the closure of Manx waters to all dredging - except a small area off Port St Mary.
The queen scallop (aequipecten opercularis) is a bivalve mollusc which can grow up to 3in (9cm) in diameter and is found at depths of 328ft (100m).
The university research shows that between 2001 and 2006, the amount found in Manx territorial waters was estimated to be about 13,000 tonnes.
By 2010 this biomass had risen to 35,000 tonnes but then declined by over 16,000 tonnes by 2012 - it is now estimated to be about 20,000 tonnes.
The team, which has been tasked with defining the so-called Anthropocene, says humanity's impacts on Earth will be visible in sediments and rocks millions of years into the future.
The researchers are working towards a formal classification of the new epoch.
An open question is the formal start date, which some panel members think could be the 1950s.
This decade marks the beginning of the "Great Acceleration", when the human population and its consumption patterns suddenly speeded up.
It coincides with the spread of ubiquitous "techno materials", such as aluminium, concrete and plastic.
It also covers the years when thermonuclear weapons tests dispersed radioactive elements across the globe. Their long-lived activity will still be apparent to anyone who cares to look for it hundreds of millennia from now.
The report by the Anthropocene Working Group, published in Science magazine, is not a full and final statement on the subject.
Rather, it represents an interim position - an update on the panel's investigations.
But the key finding is that humanity's impacts on Earth should now be regarded as pervasive and sufficiently distinctive to justify a separate classification.
"The paper looks at the magnitude of the changes that humanity has made to the planet," explained group secretary Dr Colin Waters.
"Have they been sufficient to significantly alter the nature of the sediments now being accumulated at present, and are they distinctive from the existing Holocene Epoch that started at the end of the last ice age? That case has now been made," the British Geological Survey scientist told BBC News.
"Within the Working Group - and we have 37 members - I think the majority of them now agree that we are living in an interval we should call the Anthropocene. There's still some discussion as to whether it should be a formal or informal unit, but we'd like to have a specific definition. And a majority of the group are moving towards the mid-20th Century for the start of this new epoch."
In due course, the group will produce some final recommendations.
Ultimately it will be down to the International Commission on Stratigraphy to accept - or not - the "Anthropocene Epoch" as an additional unit in the official time scheme used to describe the planet's 4.6 billion years of history.
The famous Chronostratigraphic Chart featured in textbooks and on posters in school classrooms is unlikely to undergo an immediate redesign, however.
If the mid-20th Century is to be the official start date, it will have to be demonstrated with sample boreholes bearing some of the tell-tale signatures of the Anthropocene.
These could include ocean or lake sediments containing markers of pollution, such as the soot particles from fossil fuel burning.
Because these examples would need to reflect a global and not just a local footprint of human activity, the boreholes could take a number of years to collect.
The author and journalist Gaia Vince won this year's Royal Society Winton prize for her book, Adventures In The Anthropocene.
It is a kind of travelogue that tries to explain the enormous changes occurring on Earth at the level of the individual citizen.
I asked her what she thought of the Working Group's latest statement.
"There is a conceptual difficulty in appreciating that in just a human lifetime, our species (which has itself only existed in the briefest time) has profoundly changed this billions-years-old planet," she told me.
"And yet the evidence is increasingly obvious to us all, from satellite images of global transformations to local extinctions of butterflies, to our increasing experiences of extreme weather events. Nevertheless, it's a difficult and novel task for the geologists who must try to determine a start date for an era whose palaeontology and geology are still being created - there's no handy stripe in the rock layers to mark the Anthropocene yet.
"The mid-20th Century, the beginning of the global Great Acceleration (there are some great graphs for this), makes for a useful marker both scientifically and because it also represents the great social changes that have occurred.
"This is important because it was an evolution in human society that created this environmental planetary change - and it is the way human society develops that will shape this new age for the decades and centuries to come."
Hosein has scored 713 runs in 18 first-class games at an average of 32.4.
The 20-year-old set a club record for most dismissals in a match by a keeper when he took 11 catches in his first-class debut against Surrey in 2014.
"He made some impressive contributions last year when given the opportunity," director of cricket Kim Barnett said.
James Brokenshire said he had received a positive response from all the parties about moving to "full transparency".
Unlike the rest of the UK, Stormont parties are not required to reveal the sources of their funding.
Historically, this was due to concerns about the security of donors.
However, Mr Brokenshire said the political and security context had "changed significantly".
He says he will soon make a statement on the "steps needed to ensure that information relating to Northern Ireland political donations and loans can be published".
He was responding to a written parliamentary question from North Down MP Sylvia Hermon.
The independent MP asked him to set out "a timetable to introduce legislation ending the practice allowing anonymity for donations to political parties".
Mr Brokenshire wrote to the parties in January seeking their views on moving to full transparency for Northern Ireland political donations and loans.
He said: "I received a positive response from the parties."
In February, the DUP confirmed it received a Brexit donation of about £435,000 from a group of pro-union business people led by a Conservative party member.
At that time, DUP leader Arlene Foster declined to reveal the identity of the donor or donors but said the money was properly accounted for "under the rules as they currently stand".
Other parties had called on the DUP to clarify who funded its "lavish" pro-Brexit advertising campaign.
Belfast City councillors have also voted in support of a call to reveal the names of those who make large donations to Northern Ireland politicians.
Alliance wants Northern Ireland to be brought in line with Great Britain where the names of those who donate over £7,500 are published.
When Alliance leader Naomi Long was an MP she secured legislative change that paved the way for the possible future identification of donors who contributed more than £7,500 since January 2014.
However, the names can only be published if Northern Ireland's secretary of state agrees to lift the exemption.

"It is such an exhilarating thing to watch when you see people bouncing so high in the air and then landing in such a small square. It is one of the sports where the margin for error is so slim. You can be in the lead and one little small movement finishes you. This means that there is often a surprise winner. The really strong nations are Russia, China and Canada."
The top competitors in the world are still genuine high-flyers though, reaching heights of up to 10 metres during their routines.
Although it forms part of the gymnastics programme it shares some similarities with diving in terms of the suppleness and skill needed to compete at the top level. The two sports also share the same terminology - back-flips and half-pikes feature in both.
Lee Brearley and Jaime Moore were the first Britons to compete when trampoline made its Olympic debut at the Sydney 2000 Games.
Britain had previously produced world men's champions Paul Luxon (1972) and Stewart Matthews (1980) as well as Sue Shotton, who took the 1988 women's world title.
Gymnastics requires strength, mobility, endurance, flexibility, body control and coordination.
The high level of physical fitness needed to excel helps encourage a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and eating a well-balanced diet.
The wide range of movements involved in trampolining works every muscle in the body and burns approximately 410 calories per hour.
Jumping on the trampoline - or rebounding - has been discovered by NASA scientists to be up to 68% more effective exercise than jogging.
The effort of rebounding develops both upper and body strength without putting undue strain on joints or muscles, thus reducing the risk of injury.
Gymnastics is a breathtaking sport featuring a range of disciplines such as artistic, trampoline, acrobatics, aerobics and tumbling. It is enjoyed by an estimated four million people in the United Kingdom.

A French tumbler named Du Trampolin had the idea of adapting safety nets used by aerial artists in his act.
The trampoline bed, which is made from nylon or string material, is only six millimetres thick.
This rudimentary trampoline was developed into the modern apparatus we know today during the 1930s by American gymnast George Nissen, who thought it would be a useful training tool for tumblers. It was subsequently used in the training of fighter pilots and astronauts.
Gradually it developed into a sport of its own, initially known as rebound tumbling, which Essex teacher Ted Blake brought to these shores in 1950. Great Britain staged the first World Championships in 1964.
Nissen was present in Sydney in 2000 as trampoline finally became an Olympic sport.

The recommendations on how to "do better, with less" were published by The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Demand for public services in Northern Ireland has increased against a backdrop of public sector cuts.
Former finance minister, Simon Hamilton, launched the review in November 2014.
The aim was to get advice from international experts on how to reform the public sector.
The report says: "If grappling with the after-effects of a global economic recession is challenging for any government, it is even more complex for the government of Northern Ireland, given its history and the fragility of its constitutional and institutional arrangements."
Some changes, including reducing the number of government departments from 12 to nine, have already been made.
It is too early to decide if these changes have resulted in savings or improvements in efficiency.
Northern Ireland is the first case the OECD has ever worked on at a sub-regional level.
Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said: "The OECD's report provides us with a roadmap to continue our journey of transforming and reforming our public services."
Ms Mari Kiviniemi, from the OECD, said: "Our advice seeks to build on these successes, while suggesting that the executive should adopt a more joined-up approach that breaks down administrative silos to pursue integrated outcomes for people more effectively and more inclusive growth for the region."
The world number one hit a 138 checkout in the last leg of the match to triumph 7-5.
Meanwhile, second-placed Peter Wright drew 6-6 with Dave Chisnall.
Adrian Lewis and Phil Taylor won to boost their play-off hopes, while Raymond van Barneveld thrashed Wade in the last match of week 10.
Van Barneveld had lost 7-3 to Taylor earlier on Thursday, but the Dutchman moved back above the 16-times world champion into third position in the table with a comfortable victory against Wade.
Lewis is only two points below the play-off spots following his win against former world champion Anderson, who slipped out of the top four and is in danger of missing out on a semi-final spot for the first time since 2013.

The Dutch foreign ministry said Mr Keller would not remain actively in post while an investigation took place.
An experienced diplomat, Ron Keller moved to Beijing in December 2015 after postings in Turkey and Russia.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported on Monday that the relationship had only recently come to light.
The Chinese woman worked in the embassy itself, it said, quoting insiders.
Foreign diplomats in China are often advised against having relationships with local staff because of the risk of a so-called honey trap, involving local women acting as agents for the Chinese government.
The foreign ministry made no comment on the report but said in a statement that it was investigating a complaint and always took complaints seriously.
Mr Keller is currently in the Netherlands, De Telegraaf reports, adding that his return to Beijing is considered unlikely. He has not commented on his suspension.
Figures for February into March show the annual average performance figure rose to 90.3%.
This, however, remains below the benchmark set in the rail franchise contract. This committed ScotRail to a performance target of 91.3%.
But the improvement does end the need for a performance improvement plan to remain in force.
This mechanism was put in place in September 2016 when the Scottish government demanded improved punctuality and reliability.
ScotRail outperformed other parts of the UK in the latest round of figures, with the annual average for England and Wales slipping slightly to 87.3%.
In November, a major improvement plan was published in response to widespread criticism of ScotRail's reliability since Abellio took over the contract in April 2015.
It aims to improve punctuality and reliability through measures such as infrastructure developments and "performance workshops" for managers and staff.
ScotRail Alliance Operations Director Perry Ramsey said: "We will continue to focus on delivering the best service to our customers, seeking to make improvements every single day. This is what our customers want and is our number one priority.
"We have had a challenging year. We have been working to deliver one of the biggest upgrades to the rail network since it was built in Victorian times - while still running a full service.
"That work was necessary so that we could introduce new faster, longer, greener trains - giving people more seats and shorter journeys."
Transport minister Humza Yousaf, who ordered the improvement plan, said: "These figures also show the improved performance widens the gap between rail performance in Scotland and the rest of the UK.
"It is equally important to recognise the real efforts made by ScotRail staff who are working hard round the clock, in all weathers, to lift performance and deliver rail services which passengers both desire and deserve.
"I remain focussed on ensuring Transport Scotland and ScotRail work with the industry to maintain this upward trend and that the PIP initiatives remain in place to deliver even more improvement over the next few months."
East Sussex Fire and rescue arrived shortly after 22:15 BST to find the four-storey building on Leslie Road, Eastbourne, "completely full of smoke".
Three people were rescued by crews in breathing apparatus and six others were led to safety during the incident.
Two fire engines from Eastbourne and another from Pevensey attended. Two dogs were also saved.
The crews used a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear the smoke from the 14 flats.
Following on from her project The Apology, Casey focuses on Tasmania, where she explores "the notion of deliberate historical forgetting throughout Australian history".
"The work considers loss, historical memory and national silencing," she says.

The company claims the series has earned more than major film franchises Hunger Games, Transformers and Avengers combined.
Activision also claims Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was the biggest entertainment launch of 2014.
"We poured our hearts into making Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare an epic ride," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was one of the most highly anticipated games of 2014.
Activistion claims the game made more money in its first week of sales than any film, music or book launch during the year.
To put this amount of money into perspective, it's the amount some nations spend on their entire real-world defences for a year.
The figure of £6.1bn is almost as much as the Netherlands' annual defence budget.
At least, according to figures published by the European Defence Agency earlier this year, which looked back at how much the nation spent in 2012/2013. It was just over €8bn, which works out at just over $10bn.
"Advanced Warfare is the biggest entertainment launch of 2014 in terms of revenue, surpassing all movie, music and book launches this year." said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard.
Gamers might not be surprised to learn the latest instalment of the first-person shooter has also become the highest-selling digital launch in console history.
Activision made this claim based on data from XBox Live, Playstation Network and the publisher's own estimates.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare went on sale on 4 November and is set in 2054, allowing players to use futuristic weapons.
The game features Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey, playing Jonathan Irons, trying to restore order to the world.

Economy Secretary Keith Brown will lead a debate at Holyrood on Tuesday seeking unanimous support for market access.
He called the EU a "vital trading body" for Scotland, asking the UK to "explore all avenues to protect this access".
All opposition parties have voiced support for single market access at various points since the EU referendum.
Holyrood's Europe committee has already called for single market access to be a key priority in the Brexit negotiations, although the UK government has refused to give a "running commentary" on its negotiating position.
Mr Brown will seek to reinforce this position by uniting Holyrood's parties in Tuesday's debate.
He said: "I am asking the Scottish Parliament to show consensus on this issue, so we can unanimously call on the UK Government to explore all avenues to protect this access, rather than dragging Scotland out against our will."
He continued: "The EU is a vital trading body for Scotland. Cutting ties with the EU single market would seriously threaten Scotland's attractiveness as a place to do business, remove several vital streams of funding, and endanger the security of jobs, businesses and services across the country.
"That is why it is essential that this week our national Parliament sends as united a message as possible that Scotland must remain in the single market."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has previously pledged to argue for "the greatest amount of access to the single market" possible post-Brexit.
Following a meeting at Downing Street in July, Ms Davidson said she had discussed the importance of the single market to Scottish business with Theresa May.
She said: "We have to look at the particular context of places like Northern Ireland, Scotland and London, which voted to stay in [the EU] in quite large numbers, to get the best deal for all parts of the UK.
"For me personally that means having the greatest amount of access to the single market. That's what helps British business and Scottish business, so that's the argument I'm going to continue to make."
However, she has also stated that while the European market is "very important", "it is not as important as our own UK single market", pointing to the much larger volume of trade Scotland does with the rest of the UK compared with the EU.
Scottish Labour have vocally backed Scotland's place in the single market, with Kezia Dugdale calling for "all options" to be explored to protect this, including a "federalised UK".
The party drew up a "post-Brexit action plan" for Scotland's economy, which underlined the importance of the European market to the financial services sector in particular.
The Scottish Greens called for the single market to be reformed in the build-up to the EU referendum, but were committed backers of the Remain campaign.
Since, the party's Europe spokesman Ross Greer has called for "every avenue" to be explored "to keep Scotland in Europe", including the possibility of Scottish independence.
The Scottish Lib Dems are strongly pro-European, with leader Willie Rennie calling on members at the party's autumn conference not to "give up on Europe".
However, the party withdrew its support from Nicola Sturgeon's negotiating position with the UK after Mr Rennie said she was only interested in pursuing Scottish independence.
Emergency services were called to the site in North Ayrshire on Sunday night after the man was found on a crane.
It is understood he was an employee who was there to do repair work. He did not fall from the crane.
Police Scotland said a post-mortem examination would be held to establish the exact cause of the man's death, which is being treated as unexplained.
Overall sales were down 2.3% on the same month a year ago, although food sales were up slightly once online purchases were factored in.
Internet shopping picked up towards the end of the month with electrical goods the main beneficiary.
Once adjusted for online shopping, non-food sales also grew but only by 0.4%.
The monthly retail sales monitor, compiled by KPMG for the Scottish Retail Consortium (SRC), suggested consumers held back on purchases early in the month in the hope of getting "Black Friday" bargains.
The traditional heavy discounting by US firms on the first day after Thanksgiving has spread worldwide and last year prompted rowdy scenes at some stores.
This year, however, Black Friday was quieter with evidence that shoppers were turning to the internet for purchases.
SRC head of policy and external affairs David Martin said: "Learning the lessons from last year, consumers ducked the frenzy of the Black Friday bargain hunt on the high street and made more of their purchases online in November.
"As the lines between retail channels become increasingly blurred a disappointing set of headline store figures masks a positive non-food retail performance.
"The six month rolling average reached 0.7%, its highest level since November 2014, suggestive of non-food sales gathering momentum ahead of Christmas.
"Non-food sales were the main beneficiary of the Black Friday bounce and grew by 0.4% once adjusted for the effect of online sales."
Mr Martin added: "The evidence suggests that consumers held back their spending in the first few weeks of November in order to capitalise on the deals and offers during the final week of the month.
"Promotions stimulated sales in of cosmetic products and electrical items, as household get ready for Christmas, while consumers continued to spend on big ticket items like furniture.
"The Black Friday event disrupted sales patterns in November and only time will tell what true affect it has had on the build up to Christmas."
David McCorquodale, head of retail at KPMG, said it appeared consumers were still waiting for discounts before committing to spend.
Retailers would have to decide whether to cut prices or "hold their nerve", he said.
He added: ""Non-food sales, adjusted for the effect of online, grew by 0.4% during November, with mid-month demand being weak and uplift driven by significant activity around Black Friday.
"Most of the Black Friday activity focused on electricals and household appliances, with online channels proving most popular."
Alex Salmond said he had listened to concerns that the new law was being rushed through parliament.
He said he would set a new timetable to ensure it was passed by the end of the year.
Church, football figures and opposition parties, who had expressed concern at the original timescale, welcomed the move.
The bill was introduced to parliament just last week and ministers had wanted to see it passed by the end of the month, in time for the start of the new football season in July.
The Scottish Parliament's justice committee expressed concern over the speed with which the bill was to go through.
Mr Salmond announced the delay to the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications Bill during first minister's questions, at Holyrood.
He told parliament more time was needed to take a range of evidence and views on the proposals.
Mr Salmond said: "I accept, and I think everybody accepts, we have a majority in this chamber - but we need consensus.
"I hope, because what we say in this place on this issue has huge ramifications across society, that we can allow for the probability, the certainty, that each and every single one of us wants to eliminate sectarianism and sectarian displays from Scottish football.
Two new offences on football-related behaviour regarded as offensive and threatening.
One deals with disorder around football matches inside the ground, and extends to those travelling to and from stadiums - as well as fans watching games elsewhere, for example in pubs or on big screens outdoors.
The second offence deals with serious threats - including murder - made on the internet.
That would take in posts on sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as specific websites.
Both offences would become indictable, with a maximum punishment of five years in jail.
The maximum jail term for sectarian hate crimes is currently six months.
Decisions on sentencing in each case are a matter for the courts.
Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications Bill
"Each and every one of us wants to eliminate sectarianism from Scottish society.
"I hope that parliament will accept there is a huge, genuine urgency in this matter, and also accept that this government wants to achieve the consensus within parliament and throughout Scottish society."
The bill aims to stamp out abusive behaviour from football fans, whether they are watching matches in a stadium, in the pub or commenting online.
It would raise the maximum jail term from six months to five years.
The new legislation comes in the wake of several high-profile football-related incidents.
These include trouble at Rangers/Celtic games and the sending of suspected bombs to Celtic manager Neil Lennon and two other high-profile supporters of the club.
A Rangers spokesman backed Mr Salmond's move, saying: "As a club, we are at pains to point out that we are in favour of the greater and more consistent enforcement of existing legislation and will support new legislation that takes things forward and helps eradicate the type of behaviour that afflicts football.
Cameron Ritchie, president of the Law Society of Scotland, also backed Mr Salmond's decision, adding: "On such an important issue as this, we need effective law that is both workable and not open to challenge."
Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan, said: "Ultimately, we expect new legislation from the Scottish government to be practical and enforceable - it is important the necessary groundwork is undertaken to ensure this is the case."
The Scottish government's move met with approval from opposition parties.
Labour leader Iain Gray, said: "The first minister and SNP's incompetence had undermined the credibility of the bill and they have now had to climb down from their attempt to rush it through."
The Lib Dems' Willie Rennie, who thanked the first minister for his decision, said: "Scores of questions still remain over the bill and we will work constructively with the Scottish government to explore these issues."
Annabel Goldie, the Conservative leader, added: "The Scottish government has showed some much needed common sense and humility in acknowledging the wide ranging concern about this bill as currently drafted, the lack of consultation and the clear possibility of negative, unintended consequences."
The Rt Rev David Arnott, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, said: "I am pleased the government have heeded advice from ourselves and others not to be hasty.
"It is important that civic Scotland gets the chance to be part of proper democratic scrutiny on what is a crucial cultural issue."
Meanwhile, Two Christian organisations - the Christian Institute and Care for Scotland - said they were dropping legal action which aimed to force the Scottish government to take more time over the legislation.
The Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications Bill has now passed its first hurdle at Holyrood, with the SNP and Labour voting for it, the Liberal Democrats voting against and the Tories and Greens abstaining.
The legislation will now move forward to the next stage of parliamentary scrutiny.

The 24-year-old from Inverurie clocked four minutes 31.76 seconds to improve on the new mark of 4:38:27 she set in the heats on Thursday morning.
England's Aimee Willmott, 21, from Middlesbrough, led for the first 350m but was overhauled in the final leg and had to settle for silver.
Keryn McMaster of Australia won bronze.
The crowd's reception for Miley when she arrived on poolside before the race was near deafening, but the swimmer appeared unaware, wearing headphones and looking at the floor.
Willmott started more strongly though, even holding off Miley in her strongest breaststroke stage before the Scot responded in the final stages with a brilliant freestyle finish.
"I tried to drown out the noise a little bit before the race," Miley, who became the first Scot to win Commonwealth swimming gold in Scotland, told BBC Sport.
"But it was really great and helped me both tonight and in the heats."
Further home nations medal success came in both the men's 400m freestyle and the women's 200m equivalent.
England's 18-year-old James Guy clinched bronze in the former, finishing ahead of Scottish trio Stephen Milne, Dan Wallace and Robbie Renwick.
The Scots had all qualified for the final in quicker times than their Bury-born rival but finished fifth, seventh and eighth respectively.
Despite struggling to produce a sample for doping control - meaning a two-hour wait after the morning session - Guy was able to deliver an impressive new personal best of 3:44:58 and finish behind winner Ryan Cochrane of Canada (3:43:46) and Australian David McKeon (3:44:09).
More home nations' medal success came when England's Siobhan-Marie O'Connor took silver in the women's 200m freestyle.

The 18-year-old from Bath only missed out on gold by 0.25 secs, with Australia's Emma McKeon taking the title in a new Games record of 1:55:57.
Her compatriot Bronte Barratt won bronze with Jazz Carlin of Wales sixth in 1:57:26.
The final event of the evening, the women's 4x100m freestyle relay, yielded another medal for England - this time a silver.
The quartet of O'Connor, Fran Halsall, Becki Turner and Amy Smith were 4.74secs adrift of the imperious Australians, who smashed the world record.
Their time of 3:30:98 was almost three-quarters of a second faster than the previous mark.
Canada took bronze and Scotland were fifth ahead of Wales, with Northern Ireland finishing eighth.
St Luke Drawing the Virgin and Child by Dieric Bouts the Elder was bought by the Bowes Museum in County Durham for £2,290,650 in July.
It made the purchase after the government put a bar in place to prevent the work leaving the country.
Assistant keeper of fine art Bernadette Petti said it was a "major addition" to the cultural heritage of the region.
"More than 500 years after its production, this painting preserves intact the superb quality of pure and saturated colour nuances that give depth and translucency to the different textures," she said.
The Netherlands painter is considered to be one of the most influential of his time and a pioneer of the oil painting technique.
Bowes Museum said his works were "rare in general and especially in the UK".
The money to buy the painting was raised through the Art Fund, private donors and the Heritage Lottery fund (HLF), which awarded the museum £1.99m.
The exhibition runs from 12 November until 8 January.
Wenger would not confirm Szczesny was caught with a cigarette, but did say the player had "made a mistake".
But the Frenchman has not ruled out recalling the 24-year-old for Sunday's Premier League match against Stoke.
"He made a mistake, he is not the first one or the last one," said Wenger, 65.
"I like Wojciech as a person and when he makes a mistake he stands up for it.
"I think he has contributed a lot to the good image of Arsenal and he learns from his mistakes.
"Of course he has apologised. He is a serious boy who works very hard, he doesn't need all that."
Wenger has previously criticised Gunners midfielder Jack Wilshere, 23, for smoking a cigarette, labelling it "unacceptable".
"You can do what you want at home. You have a freedom. My issue is that the players here are judged on their performances. Ideally, the best way to have as high a level as possible is to behave as close to the rules."
Wenger has been without Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey (hamstring), Germany attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil (knee) and France holding midfielder Mathieu Flamini (unspecified knock).
"Aaron Ramsey is back in training, Mesut Ozil is back in training, Mathieu Flamini is back in training - so we have got three players back.
"Danny Welbeck (thigh) is still not available for Sunday - he's a bit short. Maybe next week he will be available.
"Olivier Giroud is back from suspension so we have got a bigger squad than last week."
Germany attacking midfielder Ozil, 26, has been missing since the start of October with a knee injury.
"He will have another training session on Friday for only the second time because he was sick earlier in the week.
"He is certainly available for selection for Sunday. Whether I start him or not I haven't decided.
"He is an exceptional football player and he gives you continuity in your game. He is a very creative player and ideally you want all your best players available."
The Germany international, 29, spoke out after joining Italian side Inter Milan on loan until the end of the season.
"I deny that completely. I had many conversations with him about going out on loan. He needed my agreement to go out on loan and without that he couldn't go.
"He didn't get enough opportunities to play so I gave him the opportunity to go. We have many players who can play in that position. When a player of his quality does not get enough games, too much competition is detrimental to a player's confidence.
"It is just a loan without an option to buy. That means he is back at the end of the season."
Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo, 21, will leave the Emirates on loan in the transfer window, while Wenger has been linked with signing St Etienne defender Loic Perrin,Villarreal defender Gabriel Paulista and Real Madrid attacking midfielder Isco.
"Sanogo will go out on loan. My option is preferably for him to stay in England. Hull is one of the opportunities, I spoke to Steve Bruce last week. He is interested but hasn't come back to me.
"Loic Perrin/Gabriel Paulista? We are not on the case. We keep all of our transfer business as quiet as possible.
"Isco? No, we have plenty of creative players. We are short on the defensive side of our game but not the offensive side. We have plenty of offensive players who don't get a chance to play so we wouldn't get someone else in the attack."
Frenchman Wenger was asked about the attack on the offices of the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, where 12 people were shot dead.
"It is a dreadful end to a terrible situation. The whole country is shocked. France is a country with freedom of speech and to think you can can die today for your ideas and the way you want to speak is absolutely shocking.
"The whole country is united and I hope it will not create a divided country. The consequences of that would be terrible for the country."
Police said Kieran McGrath, 26, drove to Ashton-under-Lyne police station in Manchester Road after being shot in a "targeted attack" on Saturday.
A 30-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of murder, is in custody.
The stolen motorbike was found burned out in Boggart Hole Clough, Blackley.
Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton said: "From our inquiries, we know the motorbike was stolen from the Stockport area in June 2013 and believe it was used in the shooting.
"After studying CCTV, we have found images of two people riding the bike near to Charlestown Road, Manchester.
"I would ask anyone who may have information on the 600cc Suzuki Bandit from it being stolen last year, being seen on Saturday night at the Sheldon Arms and its discovery, to contact us."
Police believe Mr McGrath was shot after leaving the Sheldon Arms pub at about 22:25 BST.
A post-mortem examination showed he died from a single gunshot wound to the chest.
A 23-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on bail.
The aircraft had arrived in Lewis from Glasgow with passengers earlier on Wednesday morning.
Loganair said the damage was "slight". A replacement aircraft was flown to Stornoway and used to take 24 people to Glasgow.
The airline has apologised for inconvenience caused to passengers.
A Loganair spokesman said: "The pilot noticed there was slight damage to a propeller blade during the pre-flight inspection of the aircraft scheduled to operate the Stornoway to Glasgow service.
"A replacement aircraft was flown in to take the 24 passengers on to Glasgow and the aircraft is currently being repaired by our engineers.
"We would like to apologise to our passengers for the inconvenience today and reassure them their safety and that of our crew is always the first priority, as shown by the fact the aircraft was removed from service when the fault was found."
Last month, pilots union Balpa called on the airline to make major improvements to its repairs department.
Balpa claimed safety had been compromised because engineers were struggling to maintain planes that serve Scotland's islands.
Loganair chief executive Stewart Adams said the safety of its crews and passengers was its first priority.
He said the firm was losing experienced engineers through retirement but was dealing with the situation.
"Bonkers", "primitive" and "unscientific" are words used to describe it by one of the Human Rights Watch (HRW) researchers who interviewed women who had been subjected to the test.
The World Health Organization has said: "There is no place for virginity testing; it has no scientific validity."
HRW says the tests are also discriminatory and have no bearing on a woman's ability to perform her job.
Virginity tests are obligatory for female military and national police recruits who are typically high school graduates aged between 18 and 20. HRW's research indicates that the air force, army and navy have for decades also used the test on the fiancees of military officers before marriage.
It also says local governments and the civil service have been known to use the test. In February, officials in Jember, East Java, scrapped a plan to make high school girls be tested before they could graduate from high school.
In the test, known as the "two-finger test", the doctor deduces the state of the hymen - a thin piece of membrane attached to the vaginal wall - and the size and so-called laxity of the vagina.
The test is supposed to assess whether a woman has had sex, but the state of the hymen offers little to answer this question, HRW says. They say a hymen may vary in size for many reasons unrelated to sex. It partly covers the vaginal opening and does not "seal it like a door".
Andreas Harsono was one of the HRW researchers who interviewed 11 Indonesian women, who were all military wives and female officers. He said they described two fingers being used to open the vagina while one finger was placed in the anus.
He said that on one occasion, when a woman told others waiting outside an examination room what had been done to her, all 23 applicants left.
He said that most were embarrassed by the procedure, and many were traumatised.
A female military physician told researchers that when she performed the tests in Jakarta, she found it difficult to persuade the women to take part. "It was not [just] a humiliating act... It was a torture. I decided not to do it again," she said.
According to armed forces information chief Major Gen Fuad Basya, it's a matter of national security.
He said: "If it is not restricted this way, then someone with a bad habit will become military personnel. Soldiers are a nation's defenders. They defend a nation's sovereignty, a country's territory and security."
He told local media if a candidate had lost her virginity out of wedlock her mental state would make her unfit to become a soldier.
He said "It may be because of an accident, disease or because of a habit" - meaning sexual intercourse.
"If it is their habit, the Indonesian military cannot accept potential recruits like these."
An army wife interviewed by HRW said the rationale given to her was economic.
"The military wants healthy couples," she said. She added: "Military men often travel away from home. They should trust their wives."
South Africa:
It's a hot topic at the moment as a political party has called for high schools to be able to test female pupils for virginity, to curb teenage pregnancy rates. Opposition to the proposal includes the promotion of abstinence instead, to avoid girls being stigmatised.
It has been seen in the past as a way of stopping the spread of HIV/Aids too.
India:
HRW has campaigned against Indian hospitals "routinely subjecting rape survivors" to the "two-finger test".
In 2009, hundreds of women demonstrated against tests imposed on nuns in Kerala and on 151 young women taking part in a state-sponsored mass marriage ceremony.
Egypt:
In 2011, an Egyptian court ordered forced tests on female detainees in military prisons to be stopped.
The court made the decision after a case was brought by Samira Ibrahim, who accused the Egyptian army of forcing her to be tested after she was arrested at a protest in Tahrir Square.
But virginity testing is part of the sexual violence perpetrated by security forces which has increased since the military takeover in 2013, a report by the International Federation for Human Rights says.
UK:
Tests on some female immigrants from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan were carried out until 1979. They were used to detect whether they were lying about being engaged to a man already living in the country. The claim was that those found to be virgins were more likely to be engaged. The UK Border Agency has since said the practices were "clearly wrong".
The prime minister's announcement at her party conference that the government would trigger Article 50 by the end of March, setting in motion the process of leaving the EU, ensured it would remain at the top of the agenda.
Mrs May has said she will set out more of the government's Brexit plans in a speech to be made in the new year.
We don't know how much detail she will give, but her audience will be expecting something beyond the gnomic utterances that "Brexit means Brexit" and that she wants a "red, white and blue Brexit".
MPs will get some sort of vote before Article 50 is triggered but the exact process won't be known until after the Supreme Court issues its judgement on whether Parliament must have a formal constitutional role.
MPs won't block Article 50 but that doesn't mean the government will have an easy ride - either in March, or further ahead.
Perhaps nobody knows this better than the Brexit Secretary David Davis.
He has worked the European beat before, as a whip during the passage through Parliament of the Maastricht Treaty in the 1990s.
Then as now, a Conservative government with a small majority was faced with seeking Parliamentary approval for a controversial and difficult measure around Britain's relationship with the European Union.
That though, is where the similarity ends. While with Maastricht it was the Eurosceptics that were causing merry Hell, now it is likely to be diehard Remainers who will man any "awkward squad".
Of the "Three Brexiteers" at the top of government, Mr Davis has had the best write-ups so far for his command of the task at hand. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and International Trade Secretary Liam Fox have not slipped into their new roles so easily.
Theresa May's relationship with Mr Johnson will be interesting to watch throughout 2017.
She has seen fit to mock him and very publicly slap him down. It has been suggested that he is not happy about continuously being the butt of jokes, and the two of them are hardly natural bedfellows.
Perhaps that's why bookmakers make Liam Fox and him the favourites to be the first minister to leave the Cabinet.
Although Brexit will dominate, Theresa May has a broader agenda.
In education, for example, the forced "academisation" of all schools is out and grammars are back in. She has also promised to develop a new industrial strategy to create "an economy that works for everyone".
Again, her small majority in Parliament could put her at the mercy of awkward backbenchers. Former Education Secretary Nicky Morgan leads a group of MPs who could be prepared to block grammar schools.
And some of the more free market-oriented Conservatives won't like policies that look like government meddling in business.
There is one way that the prime minister could take arms against a sea of troubles.
Despite saying she will stick to the planned 2020 date, the Fixed Terms Parliament Act allows for an early vote if two thirds of MPs back an early general election.
Jeremy Corbyn says that Labour would support such a move so the numbers would be there.
If Mrs May felt she was being stymied in her efforts to negotiate the best Brexit deal for Britain, she could change her mind and let the country issue its verdict. | Most Detroit public schools closed on Monday for a "sick-out" in which teachers are protesting against funding levels for the school system.

The world number two was beaten in five sets by Juan Martin Del Potro, while Kyle Edmund also lost as Argentina went 2-0 up after day one in Glasgow.
Murray and his brother Jamie are set to play doubles at 14:00 BST, but line-ups can change an hour before the start.
"I'll have to see how I feel when I wake up in the morning," said Murray.
"I've never played a match that long. I've played matches close to that length but none after an extremely long stretch of playing, so I don't know how I'll feel."

Guido Pella beat Edmund 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3 6-2 to ensure Argentina made the perfect start on Friday against the defending champions.
Britain must win Saturday's doubles and both singles matches on Sunday if they are to keep alive their hopes of back-to-back Davis Cup triumphs.
Captain Leon Smith said Dan Evans was ready to step in to the doubles if Andy Murray, who has the reverse singles against Pella on Sunday, is rested.
Smith told BBC Sport: "Dan's done the most amount of additional doubles practice this week. That was the thought process, so there's not too much surprise there but we'll wait for the morning."
Murray's match against Del Potro was the longest of his career at five hours and seven minutes, and his second five-set defeat in nine days following his loss to Kei Nishikori at the US Open.
It was also Murray's first Davis Cup defeat on home soil and broke his 14-match winning streak in the competition.
"I'm very proud of how I fought, I did fantastic," said the Scot after his 6-4 5-7 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-4 defeat.
"I fought for every point, tried as best as I could. That's all you can do. It was very fine margins. That happens in tennis and sport sometimes. It could have gone either way and he just played a little bit better in the fifth set."
The trade gap narrowed to $45.61bn (£29.1bn), from a revised $45.63bn in July, the Commerce Department said.
However, the politically-sensitive trade gap with China widened to a record high.
US imports and exports both slowed in the month as the weakening in the global economy took hold.
For August, exports slipped by $95m to $177.6bn, as sales of expensive industrial items like cars, aircraft engines and oil field equipment all declined.
Imports fell by $111m to $223.2bn.
China gap
With China, which the US has accused of keeping its currency artificially low, imports into the US reached a record $37.4bn.
Between January and July, the US trade deficit with China was running 10% higher than the same point last year - when the trade gap between the two ballooned.
On Tuesday, the US Senate passed a bill that would mandate the imposition of tariffs on some Chinese goods if the US Treasury determines that China is manipulating its currency.
Earlier this week, Congress also approved three free trade agreements - with South Korea, Colombia and Panama.
The car blew up in the city's southern Madina district, officials say.
The blast - which ripped through shops and food stalls - is the first major attack in the capital since the election of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed earlier this month.
No group has claimed responsibility, although al-Shabab militants are likely to be the prime suspects.
On Saturday a senior al-Shabab commander vowed to target the president's supporters.
Who are al-Shabab?
Somalia's rocky road to democracy
Sheikh Hassan Yaqub said that anyone who collaborated with the new president - who he described as evil-minded - would be at risk of attack by the Islamist group.
President Mohamed has condemned the bombing, accusing al-Shabab of being behind the attack. He urged Somalis to unite against the group's brutality.
The new president visited some of the wounded, as well as the site of the blast on Sunday. He has offered a $100,000 reward to anybody who supplies information leading to the capture of those responsible.
"It was a horrific and barbaric attack only aimed at killings civilians,'' he said.
An ambulance driver told the Associated Press that some of the injured had died on their way to hospital.
"Many of them suffered extensive third degree burns and others were burned beyond recognition," he said.
Witnesses on Sunday spoke of chaos and carnage in the aftermath of the explosion, which some reports said was caused by a suicide bomber.
Shocked and grieving onlookers watched as ambulance workers desperately tried to take the injured to hospital.
"I was staying in my shop when a car came into the market and exploded. I saw more than 20 people lying on the ground. Most of them were dead and the market was totally destroyed," eyewitness Abdulle Omar told the Reuters news agency.
Other witnesses said the bomb went off at a busy junction where soldiers, civilians and traders congregate.
"There were many small scale traders alongside the road and teashops and restaurants. There were also members of the security forces and shoppers and the blast was so huge," Sumayo Moalim told the AFP news agency.
The attack underlines the magnitude of the challenge faced by the new president whose administration relies heavily on international support and does not control all of Somalia.
Troops from the African Union forced al-Shabab out of Mogadishu in 2011, but the militants remain powerful in some rural areas.
Last month at least 28 people were killed in a bomb attack by militants at the Dayah hotel in Mogadishu.
Mervyn Storey said the main business organisations had called for the move.
The last valuation for business rates was completed in 2015, but that followed a 10-year gap.
Decisions on more controversial changes to the system, like ending exemptions for charity shops, are being left for the next Northern Ireland Executive.
Mr Storey said he would like to see the executive keep any increases in rates "at no more than inflation".
"There are no viable alternatives to the existing system," he said.
The Northern Ireland Independent Retail Trade Association welcomed the commitment to valuations every three years.
Its chief executive, Glyn Roberts, said other changes should be "a top economic issue" after the Northern Ireland Assembly elections in May.
"With the chancellor announcing last week that many small retailers in England will now be paying no rates at all, the executive has some serious catching up to do," he said.
Prasadani Weerakkody (61) and Dilani Manodara (53) helped Sri Lanka post 239-8 from their 50 overs, while seamer Isobel Joyce took 4-39.
But Ireland, with opener Meg Kendal unable to bat because of a hamstring injury, were bowled out for 93.
Only Clare Shillington, with 36 not out from 37 balls, provided any resistance.
Ireland have only once scored more than 200 batting second in a one-day international, and their reply started badly when Cecelia Joyce was run out in the third over, before left-arm seamer Inoshi Priyadharshani (3-21) reduced them to 27-4.
Shillington, captain Laura Delaney and 15-year-old Gaby Lewis were the only three batters to make double figures as they attempted to give a modicum of respectability to the scoreline.
Earlier, despite the efforts of Lewis (2-41) and former skipper Isobel Joyce, Ireland's bowlers toiled at the Nondescripts Cricket Club as Sri Lanka recorded their eighth highest total in women's ODI cricket.
Ireland are next in action on Friday against Group A favourites India, who have won both their opening games and bowled Thailand out for only 55 on Wednesday.
However, having beaten Zimbabwe by 119 runs on Tuesday, one more victory - over India, or Saturday's opponents Thailand - ought to be enough for a place in the Super Six.
The top three teams in each group progress to the Super Six stage, from which the top four qualify for the World Cup, which takes place in England this summer.

An object was thrown at the Central Mosque in Potterrow at about 02:10 on Sunday which caused minor fire damage to a door.
No-one was hurt. A small bush in the garden area was also damaged.
Officers have described it as a "despicable and reckless act" and urged anyone who saw anything suspicious around the mosque or in the Potterrow area to get in touch.
Det Insp John Kavanagh, from Police Scotland, said: "Fortunately no-one was injured as a result of this incident, but the consequences could have been far worse had the fire taken hold and spread."
Police are looking for a man believed to be in his early 30s with very short hair, wearing a short-sleeved black top with a white emblem on the front and dark trousers.
It is believed the man spoke to a group of females in George Square, near the junction with the Meadows, before the incident happened.
Foysol Choudhury, chairman of the Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council, said: "ELREC strongly condemns this crime as an attack against our freedom of religion and expression.

"ELREC would like to uphold Police Scotland's request for everyone who has any information to contact them and wishes to offer support to anyone who feels more insecure after this attack."

The 39-year-old moved ahead of the retired Peyton Manning on the list, which includes regular and post-season games, with Brett Favre third on 199.
Brady, in his 17th season, took 264 career games to set the record, while Manning needed 293 games for his 200.
"That's what it's all about - winning," said Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
Brady, who threw a touchdown pass in Sunday's victory, is a four-time Super Bowl winner and last week became only the fifth NFL quarterback to reach 60,000 passing yards.
"He still comes to work like he hasn't accomplished anything," said Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler.
Brady returned in October after serving a four-match suspension for his role in a scheme to deflate match balls to give his side an advantage.
The DA took 43% of the vote compared with the ANC's 41% in Tshwane, the municipality that includes Pretoria.
The DA will need to form a coalition in order to secure control there.
In the country's largest city, Johannesburg, the ANC beat the DA but fell short of an outright majority, with 44% of the vote.
The ANC has also lost Nelson Mandela Bay metropolitan area in the Eastern Cape, which includes Port Elizabeth, to the DA.
End of racial politics?
It is the ANC's worst electoral performance since it was elected to power at the end of apartheid and the replacement of white minority rule by democracy in 1994, and the first time since then that it has lost control of the capital.
The DA has won 93 seats in Tshwane while the ANC is second with 89 seats in the 214-seat municipal council.
Observers say a host of corruption scandals and internal party squabbles are to blame for the ANC's decline.
The South African economy has stagnated since 2008's global financial crisis, and the country has one of the highest rates of economic inequality in the world.
Revelations that upgrades to President Jacob Zuma's private home were funded with $20m of public money caused an outcry. The Constitutional Court recently instructed Mr Zuma to reimburse the state $507,000.
The municipal election result is probably the biggest wake-up call the governing ANC has received since it ushered in democracy in South Africa in 1994.
Clearly the ANC still commands huge support across the country but that support is waning. It can no longer take it for granted that the black majority will blindly follow it.
A good example is in the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality, won by the DA, which has a rich history of anti-apartheid struggle. Its new DA mayor is Athol Trollip, who is white.
Twenty-two years after the end of apartheid, black people are now voting on issues and not on race. Mr Trollip, who speaks fluent Xhosa, would not be where he is if the vast majority of black people had not voted for him.
The party of late President Mandela, the icon of the struggle against apartheid, still commands strong support with about 54% of the national vote.
The DA has received about 27%, while the radical Economic Freedom Fighters party - contesting local elections for the first time - has taken about 8%.
The DA's leader, 36-year-old Mmusi Maimane, told reporters: "For far too long, the ANC has governed South Africa with absolute impunity."
He added that the idea that his party - which has its roots in the non-ANC opposition to apartheid - was a white one had been "completely shattered".
The ANC said it would "reflect and introspect where our support has dropped".
In a brief address before the final results were announced, 74-year-old President Zuma praised the conduct of a vote he called largely peaceful, free and fair.
"Our democracy is maturing," he said. "Let us get back to work and build our country together."
Jody Cundy, Jon-Allan Butterworth and 18-year-old debutant Louis Rolfe secured victory in 49.230 seconds.
Tandem sprint pair Neil Fachie and Pete Mitchell took their second title of the week to make it two golds for the day and eight for the week.
In addition, Britain won five silvers and four bronze medals.
Craig MacLean and James Ball claimed a bronze behind Fachie and Mitchell, while in the women's tandem sprint defending champions Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott had to settle for silver.
There was also an unexpected silver for Jon Gildea in the scratch race.
Head coach Jon Norfolk told BBC Sport: "I think we are confident with our performers this week. It's a good spot check of where we are now and how people can deliver.
"There'll still be plenty more we can add into the mix to make sure we can get the right result at the Paralympics in Rio."
Nigel Willerton, director of the Tennis Integrity Board, and Chris Kermode, who heads the Association of Tennis Professionals, will both be quizzed.
Tennis authorities are already conducting an independent review into the sport's anti-corruption practices.
It follows a BBC and BuzzFeed News investigation that uncovered suspected illegal betting in tennis.
A culture, media and sport select committee "will explore how the governing bodies of tennis address match-fixing, and any weaknesses in the governance of the game, nationally and internationally".
The joint investigation by the BBC and BuzzFeed uncovered files showing that, over the past 10 years, 16 players who were ranked in the top 50 have been repeatedly flagged to the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) over suspicions their matches were targeted.
Media playback is not supported on this device
All of the players, including winners of Grand Slam titles, were allowed to continue competing.
TIU chairman Philip Brook said he remains "totally confident" in the work of his organisation in catching cheats, while Kermode accepted there is the need to "be as open and transparent as possible".
He added: "Having lists of suspicious betting patterns do not mean corruption. They are a red flag and that is not evidence."
Last week, sports gambling watchdog Essa produced a report which said tennis accounted for nearly three-quarters of all suspicious betting alerts flagged in 2015.
The action targeted users of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) cyber-attack tools.
Twelve of the suspects were arrested in the UK as part of an investigation led by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Authorities across a total of 13 countries made the arrests between 5 and 9 December.
The NCA said that it had targeted users of software called Netspoof, a computer program that could direct huge volumes of internet traffic at websites and web servers in order to disable them.
Following the UK arrests, a 27-year-old man from Hamilton in Scotland was charged with offences under the Computer Misuse Act.
As part of the international operation, a US suspect has been arrested and charged over a DDoS attack that knocked a San Francisco chat service's site offline.
Sean Sharma, a 26-year-old student in California, is enrolled in a master's degree programme at the University of Southern California.
Mr Sharma could face up to 10 years in prison. His case is being investigated by the FBI.
"DDoS tools are among the many specialised cyber-crime services available for hire that may be used by professional criminals and novices alike," said Steve Kelly, unit chief of the FBI's International Cyber Crime Coordination Cell.
"While the FBI is working with our international partners to apprehend and prosecute sophisticated cyber-criminals, we also want to deter the young from starting down this path."
The international investigations, in which a total of 101 suspects were interviewed and cautioned, were supported by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre.
House searches were conducted and notifications were sent to parents, according to the agency.
The unrest broke out when a goal was awarded to Guinea Bissau after 81 minutes, with Kenya's players arguing the ball had not crossed the line.
Play was halted for 30 minutes as Kenya fans threw missiles at the Guinea Bissau bench and the fourth official.
Kenya, who were beaten 1-0 in Nairobi, could face sanctions.
The result takes Guinea Bissau to the top of their qualifying group and leaves Kenya with little chance of qualifying for next year's tournament.
Elsewhere in Group E, Congo and Zambia drew 1-1 in an identical scoreline to their result in Ndola on Wednesday.
Jordan Massengo put Congo ahead in Brazzaville just after half-time, with Winston Kalengo equalising in the 72nd minute.
Guinea Bissau lead the group on seven points, one point ahead of both Congo and Zambia, with Kenya bottom, six points off the top.
In Sunday's first Nations Cup qualifier, Ghana lost their 100% record in Group H with a 0-0 draw in Mozambique.
The result in Maputo leaves the Black Stars on 10 points, four ahead of Mauritius, the surprise package in Group H. Mauritius could close that gap with a win over Rwanda in Kigali on Tuesday.
West Bromwich Albion's Stephane Sessegnon scored twice for Benin in Cotonou as the hosts beat South Sudan 4-1 to go top of Group C.
Mickael Pote and Jodel Dossou were also on target for Benin, with Atak Lual grabbing a consolation for the away side.
Mali could regain the lead in that group if they beat Equatorial Guinea in Malabo on Monday.
Comoros, who got their first win in a major qualifying competition when they beat Botswana at home on Thursday, were brought back down to earth with a 2-1 defeat in the return fixture.
Comoros looked like they might complete a double over their opponents when Mchangama Youssouf scored just before the break.
But second-half goals from Galabgwe Moyana and then Joel Mogorosi gave Botswana the win which puts them level on points with the top two, Uganda and Burkina Faso, who play each other in Kampala on Tuesday.
All group winners are guaranteed places at the 2017 tournament in Gabon, with the best two runners-up joining them.
The head of the university's political science institute confirmed a request had been made by the man whose attacks two years ago traumatised Norway.
No decision has been made on whether to accept it, Ole Petter Ottersen added.
Breivik, who is serving a 21-year sentence in a prison near Oslo, killed 77 people, most of them adolescents.
On 22 July 2011, he set off a bomb in a car near government offices in the capital before travelling to a lake island, where he shot people attending a summer camp of the ruling Labour Party's youth wing.
He sought to justify the meticulously planned twin attacks, which also left 244 people injured, by saying they were aimed at stopping the "Islamisation" of Norway.
A court convicted him of terrorism and premeditated murder, and handed down the maximum sentence of 21 years' imprisonment.
Mr Ottersen confirmed for AFP news agency a Norwegian TV report that Breivik was seeking to enrol at the university.
"We don't know if his candidacy will be accepted," he said.
Breivik verdict: Norwegians react
Norway attacks: The victims
How the attacks unfolded
One formal obstacle to his enrolment may be his lack of qualifications, as he did not complete secondary school, according to AFP news agency.
Several unnamed members of college staff who spoke to Norway's TV2 channel said they were opposed to any dealings with the killer.
"I understand very well that this causes reactions, it is human to feel that," Mr Ottersen commented.
Per Anders Torvik Langerod, a political scientist and politician from the Labour Party's youth wing, suggested that a course at the university might make Breivik confront his own extreme beliefs.
"Blindern [Oslo University] is a place where one learns that one should pursue one's opinions with words," he said.
"You cannot tape over the mouths of those you disagree with, or shoot them, and that's some of what I hope will be a punishment for Breivik. If he wants to relate to these studies and get what he wants, credits, he must do it our way."
Knut Bjarkeid, the director of Ila prison where Breivik is being held, told TV2 the jail would always try to help its inmates "get a formal qualification so that they have the ability to get a job when they come out".
Speaking to BBC News last year, prison spokeswoman Ellen Bjercke said that if Breivik qualified for educational activities, he would only be allowed to use a special internet server run by the prison "with a lot of filters".
He has the use of a laptop without an internet connection and can order books from the prison library, which is part of the public library network.
Some of the 20 protesters daubed graffiti on Shire Hall in Gloucester in what they called an act of "civil disobedience".
Councillors later rejected calls to halt construction until the contract between developers and the county council had been investigated.
Protesters pledged more "direct action" until the contract was cancelled.
Work on the Javelin Park incinerator near Gloucester was set to begin after Gloucestershire County Council voted to allow Urbaser Balfour Beatty to build the plant in 2015.
A motion laid down by Labour councillor Lesley Williams for the full council meeting on Wednesday accused the contract as having been "plagued by mismanagement".
She called on the Conservative-led administration to halt all work on the incinerator site until the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had finished its investigation and commit to an "immediate independent review of the contract".
Protesters gathered outside Shire Hall before the meeting, with members of the Rising Up group saying they "recognised people have to resort to civil disobedience".
Martin Large, from Stroud, said: "I asked a question last March about the benefits of the incinerator and the councillor said he did not need to reply.
"If he is unable to explain what the benefits are in a full council meeting, then I have to take non-violent direct action."
Police said no arrests were made.
Councillors from across party lines have criticised the incinerator plans, describing the technology as out of date and likely to reduce to recycling rates.
Nigel Riglar, from the county council, insisted the new facility "saves taxpayers over £100m, makes enough clean electricity to power 25,000 homes and reduces carbon emissions by 40,000 tonnes".
A spokesperson for the CMA confirmed it is considering a complaint about the incinerator contract.
The incinerator is due to be operational in 2019.
The crash happened on Friday on the A4260 near Banbury, between Adderbury and Deddington.
The man's Ford Fiesta was in a collision with a Scania tipper lorry. Another car was also involved in the crash.
Thames Valley Police said the man was from Banbury and his next of kin had been informed.
The road was closed for several hours while officers investigated.
Koeman also said on Thursday that the future of England defender Phil Jagielka "depends if there is interest from other clubs".
The Toffees have rejected a bid from AC Milan to take Deulofeu, 22, on loan for the remainder of the season.
Deulofeu has made 13 appearances for Everton this season.
"I spoke to Gerard and it's a difficult situation for the player," said Koeman. "If he finds a solution to go and get game-time then it's no problem.
"But the final decision will be down to the board."
Everton are waiting to see if Milan will come back with a new offer.
Ajax is another potential destination for a player who can leave but is expected to cost a loan fee.
Middlesbrough have also been linked with a January move for Deulofeu.
The Spaniard joined Everton on loan from Barcelona for the 2013-14 season, making the transfer permanent in 2015 for £4.3m.
Jagielka, 34, has been linked with a move to Sunderland, managed by former Everton boss David Moyes.
He joined the Toffees in July 2007 from Sheffield United and has gone on to make over 300 appearances for the club.
Everton also remain interested in signing Manchester United winger Memphis Depay during the winter transfer window, though he is likely to join French side Lyon.
On Sunday, Simon Hamilton announced that an extra £30m pounds would be made available in the next financial year to try to tackle waiting lists.
That is on top of the £40m he announced in November.
Eugene Kennedy has been waiting two years for surgery on his shoulders and 12 months for a knee operation.
The 56-year-old, who lives in Antrim, said he wrote to the health minister three weeks ago.
"We have not felt the benefit of £40m. It hasn't come to our door," he said.
"I have had nothing back - not even an acknowledgement that the letter was received.
"We need somebody to run the damn thing like a business and get business like.
"Stop this waste and fix the damn thing once and for all."
The BBC understands that while most of the £40m is being spent on patients, less than two thirds has actually gone on tackling waiting lists.
But the health minister insists the impact of the £40m is starting to be felt.
"We are already seeing that impacting on waiting lists," he said.
"Yes, they're high but they are starting to go down. Provisional figures from the end of February show there's been a decrease in those waiting for longer than the targeted times for inpatient and outpatient appointments.
"I want to keep that momentum going."
Economist John Simpson said long-term solutions are needed.
"This has to be delivered for the tens of thousands of people and this has to be delivered for them as well as the individuals," he said.
"We have put ourselves in an almost impossible position. We have almost eroded the value of the health service in the last number of years. Now is the time for a careful but fairly efficient delivery of a system that ensures we don't build up waiting lists again.
Dr George O'Neill is a GP in west Belfast. He said leadership is needed.
"This is just a band aid - this is not a quick fix," he said.
"Can we not get health out of politics? Can we not move on where we all come together to improve the health service. It can be done, there's a willingness not only in the community but in those who deliver health and social care.
"Unless we do this we will go from disaster to disaster."
Eugene Kennedy said all he wants is help.
"All I want is this sorted so that I can moved forward with my life. At the moment, I can't move forward with my life," he said.
The camp would house up to 500 asylum seekers in Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Quebec, near Plattsburgh, New York.
The construction begins about a week after Montreal turned its Olympic Stadium into a shelter for refugees arriving from the US.
More than 3,300 people crossed into Quebec between 1 January and 30 June.
The military-built camp would house hundreds of asylum seekers in heated tents fitted with flooring and electricity while they wait for their refugee applications to be processed, said a statement from the military.
Patrick Lefort, a spokesman for the Canada Border Services Agency, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation there is currently a backlog of asylum seekers at Roxham Road, a popular crossing point near Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Quebec.
It will take about two or three days for Canada Border Services to process the 700 asylum applications. In the meantime, there is no place for them to stay.
Francine Dupuis, of Praida, a provincial programme for the reception and integration of asylum seekers, told the BBC that another 1,200 people crossed into the province in July, about 90% of them from Haiti.
In May, Donald Trump announced that the US would end the programme that extended temporary protection to Haitian citizens after the devastating 2010 earthquake. That protection is due to expire in January 2018.
Since then, many asylum seekers have tried to get refugee status in Quebec, a French-speaking province.
No such protection exists in Canada, where the assessment is done case-by-case.
Haiti sent two government officials to meet the Quebec government on Tuesday, to discuss the situation.
Montreal's Olympic Stadium is being used to as a shelter in August, and the city also plans to use the decommissioned Royal Victoria Hospital into a 320-bed facility.
School-aged refugees will be enrolled at Montreal's French-language school board beginning next month.
The northern Iraqi city is held by the group known as Islamic State (IS).
Enemy forces fired two rockets into a base where US troops are training the Iraqi military, officials said.
It is the second time an American soldier has been killed in combat in Iraq since US forces re-entered the country in late 2014.
The last US serviceman was killed by enemy small-arms fire in an October raid to free about 70 hostages held by IS in northern Iraq.
Saturdays's attack took place at the Makhmur base, where Iraqi troops are reported to have built up their numbers in preparation for an assault on Mosul.
US officials say only a "small number" of American troops were wounded in the attack, but the Pentagon declined to give further details.
A Department of Defense statement on Friday said that US forces are helping their Iraqi counterparts "to isolate [the Syrian city of] Raqqa from Mosul and deny IS freedom of movement between the two important cities".
About 265,000 people use it weekly, with developments like a new BBC building raising it to 475,000 by 2026.
Prof Stuart Cole believes new platforms are needed and could be built on the nearby Brains Brewery site.
Both Network Rail and Cardiff council said they were looking at ways to upgrade the transport system.
When Isambard Kingdom Brunel diverted the course of the River Taff in the 1840s to create the station on the old city walls, it was not meant to take centre stage like it is now.
It was designed predominantly for through-trains transporting coal plus a small number of passengers on the mainline to Swansea and to outlying villages such as Whitchurch and Radyr.
But things have changed - 13m people used the station in 2013, a figure expected to rise to 23m by 2023.
Increases will be exacerbated by the Central Square, Capital Quarter and Brains Brewery developments, while a new tax office for 4,000 employees has been mooted and redevelopment work on Cardiff Arms Park is also proposed.
The city is simply not prepared for it, because Wales traditionally is not a nation of rail users, according to Prof Cole from the University of South Wales.
He said valleys lines were mainly for coal transportation and it was only around 1900 when the industry began declining that Taff Valley Railway began seriously looking at other uses.
Despite this, cars remained the favoured transport method in the city into the 1990s, according to Prof Cole.
"Even when a franchise was awarded in 2003, no growth was built into it. It was in 2006 or 2007 that overcrowding became clear," he said.
"It was perhaps rising fuel costs, congestion, people wanting to do their bit for the environment. That's when it started going up and there was no plan for this.
"People in Cardiff are not used to being mass transited. They won't cwtch [cuddle] up with everyone like on the Piccadilly line at 8:30."
Part of the solution is using bigger trains - with Prof Cole giving an example of the impact of Intercity 125s, each capable of carrying 1,000 people, waiting to ferry the 45,000 rugby day crowds in a bid to keep queues to a minimum.
A proposed new electrified Metro system should also help with speed - currently, about six trains an hour go through Llandaf station, compared to about 11 on many London underground routes.
However, Prof Cole believes a bigger issue is getting rising numbers of passengers on to platforms safely.
"It was never designed for mass transit. It's not a commuter railway station, so it's not even fair to say it's the contractor's fault," he said.
"It was built for a different era, for mainline trains and a few other local trains."
Prof Cole believes a new platform eight, opening in 2017, plus improved signalling will help.
But he claimed the area around the station had been developed with no overarching travel plan - saying a new bus station being built will be "world class" but "not big enough".
Employers will also have a big responsibility, with 4,000 tax office workers on flexi-time, for example, reducing rush hour pressures.
And while ambitious plans have been unveiled for redeveloping central station, Prof Cole said they do not address a major issue.
"Network Rail want a nice mall and frontage. It would be good, especially if it extended to the BBC building, as it would allow people to stand undercover after events," he said.
"It's very pretty, but the key thing is capacity - and new platforms are needed."
With little available land, Prof Cole believes a proposed redevelopment of the Brains Brewery site behind the station holds the key.
When negotiating planning permission, it is not unusual for developers to offer 10% of land value as a contribution to improvement schemes, called a Section 106 agreement.
Prof Cole said "there is a deal to be done" and if land was requested instead, new platforms could be built.
While SA Brain is still months away from submitting a planning application, could the idea be a possibility?
The proposal is a joint venture with Rightacres and its chief executive Paul McCarthy said: "The timing for bringing forward the Brain's site ties in perfectly with the Metro system delivery programme.
"Public transport is pivotal to the success of any business district and to have a Metro terminal at Central Quay, adjacent to the central train station, would be good for all concerned."
Cardiff council said it is "actively engaged" with Network Rail, the Welsh Government and developers to find ways to improve the station.
A spokesman said: "It's essential that the ongoing regeneration of Central Square is reinforced by the regeneration of central station and the leader of the city council continues to press the case for investment."
Commuter Andrew Jones from Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, has already given up on the rail network.
"I could never get a seat on the train despite paying £20 a week," he said.
"It's easier to get here myself. I now bring my bike, which costs £15 a week and takes 15 minutes not 30."
One of Central Square's first tenant's - law firm Blake Morgan has moved in and employee Fiona MacDonald said the train from Lisvane and Thornhill is "fine" at 07:30 GMT.
However, this may not be the experience for commuters on the same line later in rush hour.
Gavin Davies, 31, who travels from Mountain Ash, said the journey is usually manageable, but adding Christmas shoppers into the mix has illustrated the pressures more people create.
"If you can't buy your ticket on the train, you buy it at central [station] to get through the barrier. But there was a queue from the one end right to the back," he said.
"I put it down to the time of year, but new developments won't help."
Tim James, Network Rail's head of strategy and planning in Wales, said work around the station is positive and co-ordinating activities will be "extremely important".
"We will need to refresh our [passenger] forecasts regularly to take into account any new developments in the immediate vicinity of the station," he added.
While admitting money is not currently available, Mr James said Cardiff council is helping it look at funding options for developing Cardiff Central.
He added: "We are particularly keen to leverage more commercial funding as a contribution towards delivering improvements for passengers and we are developing options to look at a range of possible solutions."
Samuel Bishop, 29, of Hamilton Drive in Stourbridge, was charged with two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs with intent to cause distress, West Midlands Police said.
It is alleged Mr Bishop changed her Facebook picture to one of a sexual nature and distributed it online.
He will appear at Dudley Magistrates Court on 20 August.
Fisher, 60, went into cardiac arrest on the London to LA flight, the LA Times newspaper said.
Passengers attempted to revive her with CPR and she was taken to hospital when the plane landed after midday local time (20:00 GMT), the TMZ website said.
Her brother later told Associated Press she was in a stable condition.
Fisher had been on tour promoting her latest book, The Princess Diarist.
The heart attack happened about 15 minutes before the plane landed in LA, celebrity news website TMZ reported. A medic who was travelling on the plane administered CPR.
Paramedics then spent a further 15 minutes administering more CPR to Fisher before getting a pulse, TMZ reported. The actress was on a ventilator in the UCLA medical centre, the website said.
United Airlines issued a statement saying that Flight 935 from London to Los Angeles was met on the ground by medical personnel after the crew reported that a passenger was "unresponsive", but did not name the passenger, Reuters reported.
The LA Fire department said its paramedics met the plane and "provided advanced life support and aggressively treated and transported the patient to a local hospital".
A law enforcement official told NBC that her condition was "not good".
Passengers on the plane have been tweeting about what they saw.
Fellow Star Wars actors have been posting messages of support.
Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, said he was sending all his love and Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca, tweeted his thoughts and prayers for "everyone's favourite princess".
Fisher appeared in the original Star Wars trilogy and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a sequel released last year.
She also appeared in other films including The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally.
She has written four novels and three memoirs and was previously married to the musician Paul Simon.
In her latest memoir, she revealed that she and Harrison Ford, who played Han Solo, had an affair during the filming of Star Wars when she was 19 years old, and he was 33 and married with two children.
She told People magazine: "It was so intense. It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend."
Fisher is the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds.
There are two parts to this question. First, why did McDonald's leave Luxembourg and second, why choose the UK as your new home?
The first one is pretty easy. The Grand Duchy has been the subject of aggressive EU probes into potential "sweetheart deals" struck with multinationals which meant they paid far less than the headline rate of corporate tax in Luxembourg of 20%.
Fiat and Amazon both had their collar felt and pockets hit by EU investigations into their Luxembourg based activities.
There are also two significant pieces of legislation on the near horizon which are focusing multinational minds.
The first is a clampdown on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting or "BEPS" for short. It is a tax avoidance strategy where profits are artificially shifted within companies from jurisdictions that have high taxes to jurisdictions that have low or in some cases no taxes. It's designed to keep profits in the country where they were REALLY generated.
The second is country-by-country reporting. This will force companies to list all profits and taxes paid in every country in which the company has a presence. This will make it almost impossible for companies and countries to strike secret deals, as they will be visible to other governments who might scream blue murder.
The tax heat is being turned up all over Europe and McDonald's has decided to flip before it gets flame grilled by authorities and public opinion.
It may get burnt anyway by an ongoing investigation into alleged avoidance of over €1bn in tax.
Which brings us on to the second question. Why the UK?
The company gave a very clear explanation. It was because of the "significant number of staff based in London working on our international business, language, and connections to other markets".
Let me suggest a couple of others. The UK has one of the lowest corporate tax rates of any major economy. It's already at 20% (compared with 35% in the US and 33% in France) and is due to fall to 17% by 2020. But it's not the lowest - so why didn't McDonald's go to Ireland where corporation tax is only 12.5%?
That's a more difficult decision to second guess. But here goes. After the furore over Apple's tax affairs - the so called "double Irish" deal that saw Apple pay minimal taxes on billions of international profits - and the move by the EU to force Ireland to collect €13bn in back taxes (currently under appeal) - it could be argued that a move to Ireland is not keeping your head down.
The UK has another attraction. It doesn't tax dividends paid out to foreign companies or individuals - just ask Lady Tina Green. Dividends paid out of companies in France to parent companies attract a tax - it "withholds" some of the money (in much the same way some of your salary is withheld in tax by your employer).
Corporate tax experts tell me that makes the UK a very attractive place to have a holding company.
Failure to respond to a changing environment until it's too late is often called the boiling frog syndrome. As the heat slowly gets turned up, you don't notice the gradual increase in temperature until, before you know it, you are boiled.
It seems McDonald's has learnt that lesson.
Lee Nutley, who featured in the second series, was pronounced dead at the property in Kingston Road, Stockton.
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances and a file was being prepared for the coroner.
Critics said the show stigmatised the poor and in 2014 residents worried it would portray the town in a bad light.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said officers had been called to the scene on Monday by the ambulance service.
Mr Nutley was one of the residents of the street followed by cameras for the controversial documentary show.
In his biography on the Channel 4 website before the series aired last year, it said: "Lee relies on his next-door neighbour Julie and the other residents of Kingston Road more than ever.
"With every appliance in his home broken he can't even cook himself a meal.
"Lee has been claiming Jobseeker's Allowance for the past year, living on £45 a week after being laid off by the construction company he worked for."
The biography also said he found himself "in a constant battle with both ill health and the benefits system."

Hall, 29, enjoyed including three top ten finishes on the 2016 Ladies European Tour after spending most of 2015 out with a knee injury.
"I know deep down that my game is strong enough to be in that team." the Southerndown-based golfer said.
"It's just getting the results under my belt early on in the year to secure a place on the team."
This 2017 Solheim Cup will be hosted at Des Moines Golf and Country Club in Iowa USA between 14 and 20 August.
The Solheim Cup, the female version of the Ryder Cup, is a biennial tournament contested by teams of 12 players representing Europe and the United States.
The last Welsh golfer to make the team was Becky Brewerton back in 2009.
"I'm 14th in the rankings, but things can move around quite rapidly," Hall added.
"If I can get off to a good start in the early part of the season and maybe perform well in the British Open, you never know."
Hall was speaking at the Golf Union of Wales awards at the Celtic Manor where she was named Welsh Tour Player of the Year.
As well as her performances on the Tour, she also became the first female to win the Welsh National PGA Championship.
Police have charged the 18-year-old with the improper use of a public electronic communications' network.
He is due to appear at Newry Magistrates' Court next month.
It is understood the content sent to Mrs Foster, Northern Ireland's former first minister, was both violent and sexually explicit.
A police spokesperson said: "As is normal procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service."
The A55 has been closed between junction 11 for the A5 and junction 15 at Llanfairfechan.
The A5 was closed near Betws-y-coed, and in Powys, the A487 Dyfi Bridge at Machynlleth has also been shut.
Coastguard teams are helping people from homes near Beaumaris castle, on Anglesey, after its moat overflowed.
Those affected have been taken to Beaumaris leisure centre, while firefighters work to pump water away from affected properties.
There have also been evacuations in the villages of Llandwrog and Bontnewydd, near Caernarfon, and people have been taken to stay with friends or neighbours on higher ground.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has issued 13 flood warnings for north, mid and west Wales, along with dozens of alerts.
The Met Office has stepped up its "be aware" warning to "be prepared", which is in place for north west Wales until 23:00 GMT Saturday.
Supt Nigel Harrison of North Wales Police said it had received a "high level" of flood-related calls and the force was working with other agencies to safeguard the public.
"Every effort is being made to ensure all the major road networks are re-opened as soon as possible and people living in the affected areas need to heed the warnings and only travel when it is absolutely necessary," he said.
"We are in close liaison with Natural Resources Wales to ensure the necessary steps are taken should any further evacuation be required."
"Flood water can be extremely dangerous, and people should not attempt to walk or drive through it unless instructed by the emergency services," he added.
Earlier on Saturday, a North Wales Police spokesman said problems were first reported on the A55 and A5 roads late on Christmas Day and they were likely to be closed for 24 hours.
He said the force had received reports of floating cars and some people had to be rescued, adding: "It's chaos at the moment."
In Denbighshire, temporary defences have been deployed in St Asaph to protect homes in the Roe Park area as heavy rain overnight has caused the River Elwy to rise.
Donna Littlechild of NRW said: "Unfortunately, the festive period did not bring any respite from the recent wet weather and we have been monitoring the rivers and taking action to warn people and prepare our defences.
"We're asking people to take care near water and to keep an eye on our website where flood alerts and warnings are updated every 15 minutes.
"We are also asking people to take the advice of the emergency services and to keep themselves and their friends and family safe."
Afridi, 36, quit as captain on Sunday after Pakistan lost three of their four pool matches at the World Twenty20 and failed to reach the semi-finals.
Sarfraz, 28, was made vice-captain of Pakistan's ODI and Twenty20 international squads last year, and the Pakistan Cricket Board named him as Afridi's successor on Tuesday.
"His appointment is open-ended," said PCB chairman Shahryar Khan.
"I spoke to Sarfraz this morning and conveyed to him that he was our natural choice for this position."
Despite resigning as skipper, Afridi said he wanted to continue as a player for the Twenty20 side.

Gareth George, 30, was working at Bromsgrove School when he contacted two students outside of school hours.
He was suspended on 9 December 2014 - nearly a month after staff learned of allegations - and resigned days later.
A National College for Teaching and Leadership panel found he had acted in a way that could bring the profession into disrepute.
The prohibition order prevents him from teaching in any school, sixth form college, youth accommodation or children's home in England, and cannot be appealed against for three years.
Mr George, who had worked at the school for five years, was found by the panel to have singled out one of the pupils when she did not respond to his messages, and also offered to hold her up when she was doing pull-ups with other pupils.
They also judged the teacher knew his contact with the students "was inappropriate and in breach of professional boundaries".
However, the panel was not satisfied Mr George's actions were sexually motivated.
"Mr George should have shown a greater appreciation of the appropriate boundaries that regulate the teacher/pupil relationship," the panel said.
"Public confidence in the profession could be seriously weakened if conduct such as that found against Mr George was not treated with the utmost seriousness when regulating the conduct of the profession."
Lewis Hamilton headed team-mate Nico Rosberg to a one-two, with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel 0.652 seconds adrift.
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said: "We see the pace and the threat in that car; they just haven't been able to translate it into lap time yet."
Rosberg said the gap was "not real" and Ferrari would be quicker on race day.

The first race of the new season gets under way on Sunday at 05:00 GMT, with coverage on radio 5 live from 04:00 GMT and online from 03:30.
Both German Rosberg and British world champion Hamilton pointed out that Vettel had only done one run in final qualifying, while Mercedes had done two.
"If Sebastian had gone out again he would have been quicker, probably by another 0.2secs," Hamilton said. "It's closer this year but it is still a decent gap."
Hamilton said he expected there would be races this year when the gap would narrow but added that predicting form for the season was "a big guess".
Vettel said he believed he could compete with Mercedes for victory on Sunday.
"In the race you can always try to create something," said the German. "I hope we can definitely put more pressure than today on both of them in the race."

More than 200 of the oldest photographs taken in Scotland are to go on display at the National Galleries of Scotland.
The influential partnership of David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson lasted for less than five years before the premature death of Adamson, aged just 26.
But it produced thousands of images which are admired by photographers to this day.
Within four years of the invention of photography being announced to the world in 1839, Hill and Adamson had mastered the new medium and were producing innovative work from their studio in Edinburgh.
A Perfect Chemistry: Photographs by Hill & Adamson is one of the biggest exhibitions of their work to be staged in recent years.
The pioneering partnership came about due to an unlikely event, the 'Disruption' of the Church of Scotland Assembly.
This was where 450 ministers - upset over the issue of the church's relationship with the state - left to form the Free Church of Scotland.
Hill decided he would record the event with a painting. He was put in touch Adamson, who could take photographs of the clergymen.
This would be a quick way for Hill to record a likeness of the men at this momentous meeting so he could transform them into a large painting.
Over the next four years, they took about 3,000 pictures including images of the clergymen.
The duo's ambitions saw them quickly extend their repertoire to include portraits of Edinburgh society figures, scenes from the capital and documentary images of fisherfolk in nearby Newhaven.
Their images of the working class community in the Newhaven area of Edinburgh are thought to be the first photographic studies of ordinary working people.
Their partnership came to an early end when Adamson died in 1848.
A Perfect Chemistry: Photographs by Hill and Adamson is being shown at the National Galleries of Scotland from 27 May to 1 October. | Britain's Andy Murray says it will "be tough" to play in Saturday's Davis Cup doubles after losing a marathon five-hour singles match against Argentina.

World number 12 Hawkins, who was runner-up in 2016, took a lengthy opening frame before fellow Englishman Selby levelled with a 76 break.
Breaks of 63 and 60 gave Hawkins a 3-1 lead at the break before world champion Selby pipped him to the fifth frame.
It was 4-3 when Selby produced a superb 101 before Hawkins hit back to take the next two frames and seal victory.

He will play England's Joe Perry, who also produced a shock with a 6-1 win over world number six and 2011 champion Ding Junhui (China) in the last of the quarter-finals.
The world number nine had breaks of 55, 63 and then 127 in the seventh and final frame to secure the victory.
Earlier, Hawkins said his 6-1 opening-round win over former world champion and compatriot Shaun Murphy gave him extra belief going into Friday's match against Selby.
"I was quietly confident in my game, I played well against Shaun," he said.
"The last few times against Mark I've played him instead of playing the table, but today I managed to settle better and play the balls."

Midfielder Mousa Dembele is fit, but Kyle Walker and Victor Wanyama are doubts with minor knocks.
Southampton manager Claude Puel has no fresh injury worries and he could pick the same team that beat Watford.
Striker Charlie Austin is edging closer to a return from a shoulder problem, but defender Virgil van Dijk remains a long-term injury absentee.
Simon Brotherton: "Last week's FA Cup thrashing of Millwall came at a heavy price for Tottenham, who now face four to six weeks without their star striker Harry Kane.
"It's his second spell on the sidelines this season and others will need to step up if they're to maintain any sort of a challenge to Chelsea at the top. Spurs have already played top-flight opposition without Kane in the team nine times in the current campaign. In those nine matches, they managed only three wins and eight goals.
"Finding the net hasn't been a problem for Southampton lately, who have won their last two away games at Sunderland and Watford, scoring four in each of them.
"They also won this fixture last season 2-1, inflicting a first defeat for Mauricio Pochettino against his former club."
Twitter: @SimonBrotherton
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "We have to find a solution until Harry [Kane] is available again. We have players who can cope with the pressure and it's a great opportunity for Sonny [Son Heung-min] and Vincent [Janssen]."
"We are not worried, we are in good condition. We hope it will be different [to the last time Kane was injured]. I think the team now is completely different, that was in September.
"It was a difficult pre-season after the Euros and we are in a completely different level. The team is now more solid. We have improved a lot since that period."
Southampton manager Claude Puel: "They [Tottenham] have a lot of wins at home, so it's a good challenge for us.
"It will be interesting to see our progress. It's difficult with one game every two weeks to keep concentration, but it's important to have a good response at Tottenham."
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been making all the right noises about how his side will cope without the injured Harry Kane, but they will undoubtedly miss him.
Southampton are a strange team and very difficult to predict, but I am going to go for a scruffy Spurs win - even without Kane, they still should have enough.

When President Trump decided to temporarily close America's borders to citizens of seven mainly Muslim nations, the response from Cairo was striking.
The Arab world's most populous nation made its silence felt. Egypt's hardline leader, and his supporters, are on the Trump train.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi was the first Arab leader to congratulate Mr Trump on his election victory. The bromance began at their first meeting in New York last September, when Donald Trump was still on the campaign trail.
"There was good chemistry there," Mr Trump said afterwards. "He's a fantastic guy." He praised the general-turned-president for "really taking control of Egypt" as indeed he did - in a popularly backed coup in 2013.
While the US did not call it a coup, the military's removal of Egypt's first democratically elected president - the Islamist Mohammed Morsi - caused a rupture with President Obama. Now President Sisi is looking forward to a reset in relations, and a visit to the White House - which the Obama administration denied him.
When he gets there (the visit is still being planned) human rights are unlikely to be on the agenda. Neither leader has much to say about that, but they speak the same language about tackling Islamic extremism.
President Trump has vowed to wipe "radical Islamic terrorism" from the face of the Earth. President Sisi has promised to "combat and eradicate terrorism and extremism".
He is battling a militant insurgency that originated in Northern Sinai but has bled beyond it. President Trump called him recently, promising to provide the necessary support. (Egypt is already the second biggest recipient of US military aid, receiving about $1.3bn a year)
The Egyptian leader has praised his US counterpart for showing a "deep and great understanding of the region" - which may come as a surprise to many in the Middle East.
Critics here argue that Mr Trump's immigration curbs - now suspended by a US judge - are racist and will backfire.
"I think truly he is playing into the hands of the extremist," said Khaled Dawoud, a liberal activist. "He is antagonising the majority or nearly all Muslims worldwide. That's exactly what Daesh [so-called Islamic State] and other extremist groups want to do, to push towards a confrontation, to send the message that… the two civilisations cannot exist."
The message from Barack Obama, in the early days of his presidency, was very different. At Cairo University in June 2009 he made a seminal appeal for civilisations to unite.
"I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world," he said, "one based on mutual interest and mutual respect. This cycle of suspicion and discord must end."
Nadine Medhat, then a 19-year-old student, was in the audience that day listening to his soaring rhetoric beneath the gilded dome of the University's Great Hall.
Ms Medhat, now a researcher, came back there to give us her views on US presidents, past and present.
"I remember very distinctly all the young people attending on the day were excited," she said. "I felt that the writing and the wording of the speech was very carefully chosen and it resonated with many who listened."
In spite of the early promise, she says President Obama left the region worse than he found it.
As for Donald Trump she told us he could not even get his wording right during his campaign.
"I thought his words were insensitive to Muslim communities worldwide," she said. Ms Medhat is troubled by his repeated threats to "take the oil" in Iraq, and by his "rash decisions" so far.
"We are all waiting to see how things will unfold, " she said. "This first week has been a bit rough, I would say, particularly for the seven banned Muslim-majority countries, also other countries in the region who are concerned for what will happen next. So we are all just bracing ourselves."
Many here are pessimistic about the Trump presidency, like Dr Tamer Mamdouh Abdo, a lecturer in engineering.
He, too, heard Barack Obama speak in person, and is urging his successor to get back to first principles.
"Look at the US constitution," he said "and stick to the American values of freedom and democracy because what you are doing is very dangerous not only to the US but to the whole world."
Should President Trump ever come to speak at Cairo University both he and Ms Medhat said they would probably stay home.
So sounded the half-groan, half-chuckle from a spectator perched high in Murrayfield's south stand.
Scotland's playmaker, with a gracious snap of his wrists collected a pass and flicked the ball onwards to where a gap in the opposition defence could be plundered.
A moment of poise and grace - if only the team-mate on his outside had read his intentions. The ball flew over the touchline and bounced meekly onto the track.
That Gregor Townsend could be so criticised on that evening 15 years ago, where he scored 33 points as the USA - then little more than part-time cannon fodder - were marmalised was telling.
In the eyes of so many, he could seldom unshackle himself from the "mercurial maverick" label.
That the Galashiels lad who left the Borders to mix it with the big boys of England, France and South Africa, winning 82 caps before returning to sign off at his cherished Netherdale, has emerged as such a prolific coaching kingpin at Glasgow Warriors might surprise those onlookers.
"It doesn't happen that way," explains Jim Telfer, the iconic sage who coached Townsend, at fly-half and centre, for Scotland during the 1990s and on the fabled British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa in 1997.
"Some of the most flamboyant players have become very conservative coaches.
"Gregor isn't conservative. He wasn't a difficult player to coach. He was very articulate - if he did something wrong, he could always talk you through why he did it.
"He will have to do that with his own players, particularly people like Finn Russell or Stuart Hogg.
"He could see things at stand-off that other players couldn't see. If he made what you might think were rash decisions, they were done for a reason. It wasn't just to be a devil or a rascal.
"He wasn't as mercurial as people think. When he went on the 1997 Lions tour, he was very controlled. Because he had very good players outside him, he used them very well.
"Probably with some of the other teams he played for, he thought he had to do a lot himself."
The way Townsend has his Warriors playing, of course, has Telfer purring, more pussycat than grizzly bear.
The all-action, offloading game appeals to the New Zealand-inspired Telfer mould of controlled but deadly high-tempo rugby, underpinned by ruthless rucking.
But after the crowning glory of the Pro12 title barely six months ago, the wily old warhorse cautions Glasgow may face their stiffest test yet this season.
"The players Gregor has at Glasgow - not just the backs, but the forwards as well - are all very positive in what they are trying to do," he says.
"But as a coach and a set of players, they will find this season more difficult than last, because the opposition know where they are coming from.
"They will have to take that next step to be able to take their game forward. But I like the way they play.
"With the half-backs they have, they can still control the game even when the weather is not very good."
Dignified, amusing and erudite before the flashbulbs and cameras, anyone who has spent even a fleeting moment in vague proximity to Townsend's matchday gantry at Scotstoun can vouch for the ferocity of his competitive drive.
His right-hand man, Matt Taylor, may pound the desk in front of him and bawl at the Warriors defensive line to, in polite terms, shape up, but Townsend too oft-cuts an animated figure.
It is he who fuels the club and the squad's constant, insatiable thirst to improve and fine-tune.
"Gregor's great ability is that he is a modern coach," reckons Telfer. "He has got a good philosophy; he is a very positive coach.
"He knows what he wants to do, and he can articulate that to the players. He seems to be very good at bringing young players through.
"He won't necessarily realise it but he will be taking ideas from every place he has been, using his experiences and that will be coming out in his coaching.
"It also helps when you are bringing in players from other countries. He can at least relate to where they come from."
With his deal due to expire in the summer, Townsend penned a contract extension on Thursday that ties him to Scotstoun for a further year.
The sighs of relief reverberating across Glasgow sit in stark contrast to the disquiet that surrounded his appointment three years ago, when many felt predecessor Sean Lineen had been unjustly moved on.
"I think it ends the speculation of the last couple of weeks that he might be going elsewhere," says Telfer.
"Coaches don't seem to last very long. If they are successful, they tend to be poached by other clubs or countries.
"It is very good news for Glasgow and Scottish rugby. I think he has done a remarkable job at Glasgow. Obviously he has something to live up to now after last year.
"The test of his coaching will be this season, when you are expected to do well, and the opposition are just as tough."
The inevitable follow-up, and perhaps the fervent hope amid Scottish supporters, is that Townsend ultimately takes charge of the national team.
"He is quite an inexperienced coach when you think about it," muses Telfer.
"He has only been a club coach for three years, having been in the Scotland set-up [as attack coach], where he was kind of sheltered, he wasn't the front man there.
"From the point of view of his development, I think it is a good thing he is staying on.
"He has to think about his family, he has two boys of early secondary school age. As a player he moved around quite a lot - his family have quite a lot on their passports.
"If he wanted to do it at a higher level, he has to test himself before he thinks about international set-ups.
"Because coaching a national side is completely different to coaching a club side. You get fewer turns at being successful, fewer games, and you have to get it right. There is a huge difference."

Paul French, who has written on North Korean state control, told BBC World News that Hyon's execution was about the "total obliteration of someone, and of any opposition, and therefore having total control".
The idea "is to render a person a non-person... so there isn't even a corpse left to give to the family for burial," said Alexander Neill, a senior fellow with think tank II-SS.
"What underlies all this is the psychology of the identity of an individual in a regime, and once they are disloyal they are effectively a non-entity."
North Korea is not alone in conducting brutal executions.
When Argentina's last military government was in power from 1976 to 1983, it executed people by throwing them out of planes into the ocean, in a practice known as "death flights".
Other countries have a history of abusing a prisoner's corpse after execution.
In Sudan and Saudi Arabia, prisoners can be crucified as punishment but it is usually done after he or she is killed by a more conventional method such as hanging or decapitation.
Ugandan despot Idi Amin reportedly fed the bodies of dead prisoners to crocodiles.
Public humiliation
Brutally executing someone in the public eye is designed as "humiliation of the highest order", said Mr Neill.
In a similar vein, China has held mass show trials of prisoners accused of terrorism in Xinjiang.
These involved prisoners paraded in trucks in sports stadiums and physically restrained so that they are forced to bow.
These "reinforce that the collective is more important than the individual, and it's about controlling thoughts rather than behaviour," said Mr Neill.
Four died after their vehicle was reportedly fired on by pro-Russian separatists in Schastye, close to the separatist stronghold of Lugansk.
Two others were killed when their vehicle hit an anti-tank mine near the government-held port city of Mariupol.
A fragile ceasefire has been in force in eastern Ukraine since February.
There have been isolated violations of the ceasefire, which was agreed by leaders from Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France.
In the Schastye incident, the four Ukrainian government troops are said to have died when their vehicle was hit as it drove across a bridge .
Initial reports said rebels "had fired an anti-tank missile", the interior ministry said in a statement.
In the mine explosion near Mariupol, two soldiers died at the scene while a third was wounded and taken to hospital, the army said.
On Saturday, the government reported the deaths of three soldiers in a mine explosion near Donetsk, another separatist stronghold.
Some 6,000 people have been killed since fighting broke out in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian government a year ago.
The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia has helped the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers. Independent experts echo that accusation.
Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers".
But how can authorities be sure about the precise number, or even know where to search for victims among the Nepalese population, when there are tens of thousands of undocumented refugees?
Tibetans fleeing from China have been escaping across the treacherous Himalayan border ever since 1959, when the Chinese overran Tibet. And they have been risking their lives to make the crossing ever since.
Their goal has been to find refuge in Nepal, and, if possible, travel through an open border into India. A small number have been processed and are held in a refugee centre in the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu.
Only a minority of second-generation Tibetans have Nepalese citizenship. The bulk of them are living illegally.
They do not have residency rights and they do not have identity cards. They are stateless and therefore invisible.
Nepal is reluctant to talk about them for fear of upsetting its northern neighbour, one of the country's big investors.
Most ethnic Tibetans live quietly outside Kathmandu in remote villages scattered across the mountains, right up to the Chinese border.
These villages lie right in the quake-affected zone - but those that have perished cannot be identified formally because officially they do not exist.
Ethnic Tibetan villages like Bridim - north of Kathmandu and close to the border with Tibet, at around 3,000 metres above sea level - are among the poorest in this poor rural nation and have been flattened after Nepal's worst earthquake in 80 years.
The Dolma Development Fund is one of the few non-governmental organisations that cares for Tibetan tribals in Nepal. It set up a school in Dhunche, not far from Bridim, to educate 500 ethnic Tibetan children and orphans of the area.
"Bridim is practically razed to the ground," Dolma's chief finance officer Carla Teixeira Alvares Kaspar said.
"We have no idea how many people have survived. There are no rescue missions operating in such isolated areas."
She is also worried about the water supply in Bhorle, in a valley close by.
"It's a big slum. We have children there. There is just one water pipe from the mountains and if that gets disconnected they have nothing. Then disease can spread very quickly."
She spoke of "horrendous landslides" hitting Dhunche.
"There is little communication and power. For refugees, this is the last straw. It was impossible before. There is so much destruction in Kathmandu."
"With the monsoon coming in a month or two, I don't anticipate they are going to restore electricity or even communication or minimal roads to the mountains before December. Everything is going to stop in the monsoons," said Ms Kaspar.
The chairman of the Dolma Development Fund, Tim Gocher, lives in Kathmandu with his Nepalese wife, Pooja. He sent this message.
"Pooja, the boys and I are all still fine, however things are much worse than we thought [on Saturday] as information comes through.
"The Dolma charity has lost children we sponsor, the school in Dhunche is largely destroyed along with most of the small houses in the town, and most of Bridim's houses are gone. Information on casualties and damage is patchy.
"We slept in the car last night and most people are too scared to go back to their homes. There are still aftershocks and I think we're not going back in today [Sunday]. Sorry for the bad news. There's nothing good about this situation."

Clarke became a running legend in the 1950s and 1960s, during which he set 17 world records.
In 1956, he was chosen to light the Olympic flame during the opening ceremony for the Melbourne Olympics.
He died after a short illness in hospital at the age of 78, the Gold Coast City Council said.
He won a bronze medal in the 10,000-metre event at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, but in all his years running he never won an Olympic gold.
After his athletics career, he was Gold Coast mayor from 2004 to 2012, but was unsuccessful in a bid for state politics.
He had been awarded the Order of Australia and honoured as a Member of the British Empire.
He is critically ill in hospital.
The assault, in the town of Madaripur, is the latest in a series of recent attacks on religious minorities, secular writers and academics.
Last week, Bangladesh's prime minister vowed to bring an end to the violence, and police launched an operation against Islamists.
Who is behind the Bangladesh killings?
Is extremism on the rise in Bangladesh?
Lurching from secularism to sectarian terror?
Ripon Charkavarti was attacked with machete knives as he opened the door at his home.
Police said they are questioning one of the three suspects caught by local people while trying to escape.
Earlier attacks have been widely attributed to Islamist extremists and are causing growing concern.
In many cases, the Islamic State group or al-Qaeda say they carried out the attacks but the government denies the group is active in the country, our correspondent in Dhaka, Waliur Rahman, says.
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has said her government will do whatever it takes to stop the attacks.
"Where will the criminals hide? Each and every killer will be brought to book," she told a meeting of her governing Awami League party on Saturday.
Police launched a campaign last Friday, and have arrested thousands of people.
However, critics say many ordinary criminals were among those held.
More than 40 people, including secular bloggers, academics, gay rights activists and members of religious minorities, have been killed in attacks blamed on Islamist militants in Bangladesh since February 2013.
Last Friday, a Hindu monastery worker was hacked to death in Pabna district.
Over the past two weeks, a Hindu priest, a Christian grocer and the wife of an anti-terror police officer were all killed in attacks by suspected Islamist militants.
Mike Gapes said he chiefly wanted Mr Corbyn to "listen to and work with" MPs chairing backbench policy committees - most of whom did not vote for him.
Without their support, he suggested the Labour leader "could not succeed".
But Corbyn-supporting Labour MP Ronnie Campbell said the committees were merely "talking shops".
Mr Corbyn disagrees with his many of his MPs in key policy areas, including the renewal of Trident, the welfare cap and military action in Syria. Many of those at odds with him have now taken roles chairing internal Labour policy committees.
They include pro-Trident MP John Woodcock, former shadow chancellor Chris Leslie, who has attacked Mr Corbyn's economic policy, and former frontbenchers Tristram Hunt, Ivan Lewis, Emma Reynolds and Shabana Mahmood, all of whom quit the shadow cabinet after his election.
Mr Gapes, who last month tweeted that there was "now no collective Shadow cabinet responsibility in our Party, no clarity on economic policy and no credible leadership" will chair the party's foreign affairs committee.
The committee chairmen will have the power to stand in for shadow ministers at the despatch box, although this is rarely used, and to influence policy decisions behind the scenes.
It has been suggested that there was a concerted effort by Corbyn-sceptic MPs to gain control of one of the party's policy making mechanisms to push back at Mr Corbyn's allies, who are strongly represented in the shadow cabinet and on the National Executive Committee.
Mr Gapes, the MP for Ilford South, told the BBC's Daily Politics that they were not trying to create an alternative power base but wanted to be "part of the process" of formulating policy.
"There is no shadow, shadow cabinet," he told Daily Politics. "It is a nice headline but the reality is the parliamentary party will want to work collectively and cohesively and the backbench committees will play a big role into the input to the development of policy."
Mr Gapes, who has said there is "no clarity on economic policy or credible leadership" under Mr Corbyn, said he and like-minded colleagues would be seeking to make their influence felt on the National Policy Forum and other powerful bodies.
"Policy will be decided by the party overall but MPs are an essential part of this process...No leader can be successful if they don't take their parliamentary colleagues with them....We have to have a leadership that listens to and work with the parliamentary party."
But Mr Campbell, the MP for Blyth Valley who was among those to nominate Mr Corbyn for the party leadership, suggested the internal committees would have very little influence over the direction of the party.
"These committees are just talking shops really," he told Daily Politics. "They don't make policy. The Labour party members out there and the affiliated (groups) make policy."
MPs should not overstate their power, he claimed, suggesting they owed their loyalties to their constituents and their local members.
"They are not the Labour Party. The Labour Party is made up of its members and affiliates. They (the MPs) want to get off this sort of hook they are getting onto thinking that they are going to take over the parliamentary party and run the party. They are not running the party and never will."
Mr Corbyn has said he wants the parliamentary committees, which had a low profile under Ed Miliband, to become more influential.
The Labour leader has also vowed to open up the party's policy making process to its members, the vast majority of whom voted for him to be leader, claiming that decision making has become increasingly centralised under successive leaders.
He wants to give the party's annual conference a much greater say in determining policy.
The clubs will face one another home and away in September and early October in the West Country Challenge Cup.
The tournament mirrors the being held by Leicester, Newcastle and Sale.
The Premiership is with both Exeter and Gloucester staging matches at their home grounds.
Gloucester will play their home games at Bristol's Memorial Stadium, so not to clash with the World Cup matches they are staging.
"Each year you want to get your season off to a solid start and all that begins by having a worthwhile and meaningful set of opening fixtures," said Exeter boss Rob Baxter.
"For us, the opportunity to play the likes of Bath and Gloucester - two of our biggest rivals in the Premiership - will not only give us a good gauge of where we lie heading into the new season, but it will also provide us with four very competitive fixtures."
Defeat by Brighton ended a run of back-to-back wins that had given Wigan hope of survival and leaves them five points adrift in the relegation zone.
Barrow says he was frustrated with the Seagulls' first goal in the loss.
"That's where we are with the points," Barrow told BBC Radio Manchester.
"It's as simple as that, that's what we have to do. There's no need to give up yet."
Goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard and his defenders were criticised by Barrow in the post-match press interview, as Brighton took the lead through Glenn Murray's goal from a ball over the top.
Haugaard, who is on loan from Stoke City, has started the past three games for Wigan in the place of Matt Gilks.
"He didn't have a lot to do," Barrow continued. "The first goal has really got me, from being in no trouble at all whatsoever. it's a Sunday league goal.
"We've got to look at that and see what we can do."
Barrow also seemed to suggest the decision as to who did play in goal has not been a personal one.
"That's the case, we'll have to see," he continued.
"We need to have conversations and see where we go. The worrying thing is it didn't get any better through the game."
The world number one resumed leading by two sets to one and with the match 3-3 in the fourth after a storm had halted play on Friday evening.
Murray took the fourth set on Saturday's resumption but Djokovic came through 6-3 6-3 5-7 5-7 6-1.
The 28-year-old Serb will face Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka in the final on Sunday.
Djokovic has now won 28 matches in a row, and another victory would make him only the eighth man to complete the set of all four Grand Slam titles.
His hopes were threatened for the first time on Friday evening as Murray launched a stirring comeback, and the top seed looked in real danger when the Briton grabbed the fourth set on Saturday.
"I'm very glad that I managed to finish this match as a winner," said Djokovic.
"I was hoping I can do it before, but I don't think I have done too much wrong, even today in the fourth. He just came up with some great shots, great points."
Murray said: "Last night before we came off the crowd were really into it and it was a good atmosphere. I was obviously motivated to come out today and try to turn the match around.
"I played a loose game on my serve the first game of the [final] set with the new balls. I missed I think three balls long in that game.
"Then I think Novak relaxed a little bit after that and he hit the ball extremely accurate."
Both men had appeared nerveless as just one point went against serve in Saturday's opening four games, but it was Djokovic who faltered first at 5-5 amid some brilliant, punishing baseline rallies.
Murray's defensive skills began to draw errors and the Scot raised his fist in triumph after sealing the vital break, before closing the set out on serve.
The crowd, enjoying an unexpected bonus ahead of the women's final, rose to acclaim his effort against a player who had seemed invincible for much of the tournament.
Djokovic has been ruthless when it has counted during his unbeaten run, however, finishing off nine-time champion Rafael Nadal 6-1 in the quarter-finals, and with two love sets against Murray to his name this season.
Once again, the world number one powered away in the final stages.
A half-chance passed Murray by when he netted a regulation backhand at deuce in the opening game of the decider, and a poor service game of four errors then cost him dear.
Djokovic resumed the clinical display that had seen him through the first two sets on Friday, powering one rocket of a forehand down the line before breaking again to all but secure victory.
Murray had been on a 15-match winning run on clay coming into the match but in the closing stages could do nothing to avoid an eighth successive defeat by his rival since childhood.
Critics of the 51-year-old, who came to power after a civil war which left 300,000 dead, said he should not run again for office as that would be unconstitutional.
His supporters feel he was justified as he was elected by parliament in 2005 - not voters - a view upheld by Burundi's Constitutional Court.
And the former rebel leader takes pride in the fact that his administration has brought peace to Burundi.
It is this image that he is keen to portray - a man of the people working to rebuild the country, one of the poorest in the world.
It has been reported that diplomats arriving for official meetings with Mr Nkurunziza have been whisked away from the capital, Bujumbura, into the countryside, where they find the president digging in the fields with local farmers.
In fact his enthusiasm for planting avocado trees is so well known that many Burundians have renamed the popular green fruit "amaPeter" after him.
"The man's simplicity is remarkable, and he always draws attention, mingling with village people in the remote rural areas where he spends most of his time," his official biography on the Burundian government website says.
This has made him more popular in rural areas, but not in the capital, where most of the opposition resides.
Before the civil war, Mr Nkurunziza, who had graduated in sports education, was a teacher and assistant lecturer at the University of Burundi.
He also coached the army football team, Muzinga, as well as Union Sporting, a Burundian first division team in the 1990s.
He now has his own side, Hallelujah FC, where "he plays as a striker and scores regularly", his biography says.
The name of the team also indicates one of his other great passions: His Christian faith.
His father, a former governor who was killed in the 1972 massacre of ethnic Hutus, was Catholic and his mother Anglican.
Now a born-again Christian, the father of five never travels without his own football team and a choir, where he combines matches against local team with evangelical prayer sessions, according to the AFP news agency.
He and his wife Denise were once reported to have washed the feet of some of those among the crowd.
It is not only the people who the president believes have put their faith in him.
"Mr Nkurunziza indeed believes he is president by divine will, and he therefore organises his life and government around these values," says presidential spokesman Willy Nyamitwe.
His critics, who include about 40 opposition parties as well as human rights groups, paint a somewhat different picture of him.
They accuse him of being a dictator who refuses to give up power.
This perception grew after Mr Nkurunziza decided to run for a third term, rejecting pressure from protesters and foreign governments to step down.
Scores of people have been killed in protests since he announced his re-election bid in April, and more than 100,000 have fled to neighbouring states, raising fears that Burundi could descend into conflict again.
Mr Nkurunziza survived a coup attempt in May when former army loyalist Godefroid Niyombare led the attempt to overthrow him.
Mr Nkurunziza's forces crushed the coup bid, and the opposition says repression has intensified, making July's elections neither free nor fair.
UN human rights chief Zeid Raad al-Hussein has raised particular concern about Imbonerakure, a youth group allied with Mr Nkurunziza.
It is suspected of carrying out summary executions, tortures and beatings, and "could tip an already extremely tense situation over the edge," he has said.
The Hutu CNDD-FDD rebel group that Mr Nkurunziza led during the civil war - sparked by the killing of Hutu President Melchoir Ndadaye in 1993 - was responsible for several atrocities.
These included several ambushes along major roads, killing many travellers, including Tutsis.
He took up arms in a bid to end the long-standing dominance of the country by the minority Tutsi community.
Mr Nkurunziza was sentenced to death in absentia by a Burundian court in 1998 for laying land mines, but received an amnesty under the peace accord that ended the fighting.
Last year, he tried and failed to change the constitution, which limits the powers of his CNDD-FDD party by guaranteeing positions for the minority Tutsi group in all government institutions.
His critics say this stands at odds with his public stance that he wants to overcome the ethnic tensions that led to the civil war.

The aircraft were scrambled from RAF Coningsby, in Lincolnshire, on Monday night and helped guide an Air France plane to a safe landing in Newcastle, the RAF said.
Loud bangs were heard in several parts of Yorkshire, with Paul Griffiths (@GriffoRadio) sharing a video of the event in Tadcaster.
Gen Samir Sulaiman told the BBC he hoped all of Aleppo would be in government hands within weeks.
Gen Sulaiman was speaking a day after the army seized another district, Tariq al-Bab, from the rebels opposing President Bashar al-Assad.
Swathes of east Aleppo held by rebels have been seized by government troops and militiamen in the past three weeks.
Earlier reports on Saturday had suggested as much as two-thirds of the rebel-held area had been recaptured.
Up to 250,000 people remain trapped in besieged areas of the city, the UN says.
Tens of thousands of people have been displaced. The United Nations this week said conditions in east Aleppo were now so dire that medical operations were being conducted without anaesthetics.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said Tariq al-Bab was recaptured more than four years after falling into rebel hands.
Clashes in the district left tens of fighters on both sides killed or injured, it said.
At least 300 people have been killed since the government-led offensive on east Aleppo.
Thousands of people fled Tariq al-Bab into neighbouring areas as fighting intensified.
The thunderous boom of shelling can be heard across Aleppo as Syrian warplanes and artillery pound districts to the east.
The army and its allies are advancing rapidly on the ground, Gen Sulaiman told me, and they expect to recapture 60% within days.
Rebel fighters are now regrouping and retreating south to more densely populated areas of their enclave.
UN officials here say they're bracing for another exodus of civilians. Thousands have already fled to this part of Aleppo.
Sources tell me that that Syria's ally Russia is involved in a new effort to co-ordinate with rebel forces to arrange the evacuation of the sick and wounded and allow as many as 1,000 civilian activists who are not involved in the fighting to leave.
But for all the discussions, what's clear to all is the Syrian military and its allies are determined to retake all of Aleppo within weeks.
Earlier this week, Stephen O'Brien, the UN's humanitarian affairs chief, said besieged areas of the city risked becoming "one giant graveyard".
He said some people inside opposition-controlled areas were so hungry they were reduced to scavenging.
On Thursday, Russia, that supports President Bashar al-Assad's government, indicated it was ready to discuss opening four safe corridors for humanitarian access.
Aleppo was once Syria's largest city and its commercial and industrial hub before the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011.
It has been divided in roughly two for the past four years. But in the past 11 months, Syrian troops have broken the deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes.
In early September they reinstated a siege of the east, and launched a large-scale offensive later that month to retake full control of the city.
The Syrian Observatory says more than 300 civilians have been killed in rebel-held districts since the offensive was stepped up in mid-November.
The Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" warning for snow, particularly on high ground, for Wrexham, Powys and Monmouthshire.
It says a mixture of rain, hail and sleet will turn into snow during the night.
Untreated roads and pavements could also be icy.
The couple, named as Shafqat Emmanuel and Shagufta Kausar, were found guilty of sending the text message to the imam of their local mosque.
Allegations of blasphemy against Islam are taken very seriously in Pakistan.
Several recent cases have prompted international concern about the application of blasphemy laws.
The imam brought a complaint against the couple last July.
The couple's lawyer told the BBC he would appeal against the sentences and said the trial had not been conducted fairly.
Pakistan has a de facto moratorium on the death penalty so it is unlikely the couple will be executed.
They come from the town of Gojra in Punjab, previously the scene of communal violence.
Q&A: Pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws
In 2009 the rumoured desecration of a copy of the Koran led to a mob burning nearly 40 houses and a church in Gojra. At least eight members of Christian community died in the violence.
Since the 1990s, scores of Christians have been convicted for desecrating the Koran or blaspheming against the Prophet Mohammed.
While most of them have been sentenced to death by the lower courts, many sentences have been overturned due to lack of evidence.
Critics argue that Pakistan's blasphemy laws are frequently misused to settle personal scores and that members of minority groups are also unfairly targeted.
Muslims constitute a majority of those prosecuted, followed by the minority Ahmadi community.
In 2012 the arrest of a young Christian girl, Rimsha Masih, on blasphemy charges provoked international outrage. After being detained in a high security prison for several weeks she was eventually released and her family subsequently fled to Canada.
The mayor of the town of Bria, north-east of the capital Bangui, said bodies were lying in the streets.
The truce, signed in Rome on Monday, included an immediate ceasefire.
It was intended to bring armed groups into the political process in exchange for ending attacks.
Town Mayor Maurice Belikoussou told the Associated Press that dozens of wounded were seeking treatment at the local hospital.
Witnesses told the news agency that fighting had erupted early on Tuesday between the anti-Balaka militia and rebels from the group known as FPRC, who were once part of the Seleka movement.
Thousands of people have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced in the CAR since mainly Muslim Seleka rebels ousted President Francois Bozize in 2013.
The move triggered a backlash from mostly Christian militias, called the anti-Balaka.
The UN said in May that almost all the residents of Bria had fled the town.
After violence erupted last month, 38,500 people left in just three days, it said.
The peace agreement was brokered by the Sant' Egidio Catholic Community in Rome in the wake of years of sectarian violence and the deployment of a long-running UN peacekeeping mission to the country.
More than a dozen militia groups agreed to end hostilities immediately and to co-operate with a truth, justice and reconciliation commission.
But observers say armed groups have yet to show an interest in laying down their arms.
BBC West Africa correspondent Thomas Fessy says deals have been signed in the past few years but all have failed to bring the country back to peace and stability.
The girl's mother is in a serious condition in hospital, and her father is also in hospital.
Fire crews, police and an air ambulance were called to Bryn Gorwel in Carmarthen at 18:15 BST on Sunday.
The woman in her 20s was taken to Morriston Hospital, Swansea. The child died in the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
A neighbour said she ran into the street when she heard screaming.
"It was chaos - everyone was screaming," she said.
"The black smoke was horrendous and there were loads of flames. People were crying.
"A man jumped out of the window and the mother was taken out by a fireman over his shoulder.
"The young girl was taken to hospital in a police Jeep."
The woman, who did not want to be named, said the family had moved into the area around two weeks ago.
Another neighbour, Sally Thomas, said: "It's a terrible experience."
One witness said the family had been out for a walk and had returned home around 40 minutes before the fire broke out.
It took almost four hours to bring the fire under control with three crews - two from Carmarthen and one from Kidwelly - attending.
Eight firefighters wearing breathing apparatus tackled the blaze and a thermal imaging camera was used.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the family's relatives were being supported by officers.
Inquiries are continuing to find out the fire's cause.
His body was found in a house in Chobham Street on Wednesday.
A post-mortem examination is to be carried out.
East Belfast MLA Robin Newton has expressed his concern following the death.

After France came from behind to win 2-1, O'Neill said the fact the hosts had three more days' rest after their final group game was "incredible".
The Republic were back in action four days after their 1-0 win over Italy.
"A three-day differential is genuinely too much and it took its toll on us in the second half," said O'Neill.
"It will sound like an excuse and it's not meant to be. But it is incredible. It really is incredible.
"We knew at the start of the tournament when we were looking at it that after a really tough group, if we took our place in the last 16, the chances were there was going to be a big differential between us and some of the sides that we might play in the competition.
"France, it looked as if it was geared from them to win their group, which they did. Well done to them but three days is far too much. "
Robbie Brady's early penalty gave the Republic the lead but two second-half Antoine Griezmann goals earned France victory as the hosts took control. The tiring Irish ended with 10 men following Shane Duffy's sending-off for a trip on the goalscorer.
"We got the goal and we were pretty comfortable in the first half," added O'Neill.
"We put them under pressure. We rattled them. We got the goal and it actually settled us down. I thought that we were continuing to do very well in the game.
"It's all ifs, buts and maybes, but if we had gone another six, seven, eight minutes without conceding, there would have been a lot of pressure on France and I think we could have used that to our advantage.
"The two goals that they scored came within two or three minutes of each other. If I look back, I think the goals we have conceded have been quite poor. That's my only annoyance."

Republic captain Seamus Coleman's huge disappointment was there for all to see after the defeat.
"We felt like it was there for us today," said the Everton defender, 27.
"We took a lot of belief from the Italy game. In the first half we played well. The second half was always going to be tough. We just couldn't keep the door closed for long enough."
The Donegal man paid tribute to the team's fans who were restricted to fewer than 5,000 tickets at the Stade de Lyon.
"We only had a little corner of the ground but they were so loud and so positive. It's a special bond between the fans and players.
"We would have loved to have gone a bit further for them."
The Office for National Statistics said clothing sales were 1.6% down on April's level, the biggest fall since September 2014.
Economists had expected retail sales to be flat in May after sales in April were boosted by unusually warm weather.
By contrast, May was cooler than normal.
The suggestion is part of Project Brave - the outcome of an SFA working group tasked with improving and increasing the development of elite players.
It recommends reducing the 29 funded academies to a maximum of 16.
Mackay will consult member clubs in detail at four events this week.
Under the plans, clubs will have their academies assessed by an independent company to assess which ones meet the new criteria.
"We need to focus on the very best players in the very best academies with our limited resources we have," SFA chief executive Stewart Regan said.
"One of the recommendations from the working group was to have no more than 16 academies in Scotland defined as elite. Any club can put a bid in, and they will be independently audited against a defined set of criteria. If they are successful, they will be included in Scotland's list of elite academies."
Project Brave's recommendations:
The working group for the strategy was formed in March last year, and initiated by Mackay's predecessor, Brian McClair.
Clubs that do not meet the eligibility criteria for Club Academy Scotland status - and central funding - will still have access to funding from the SFA to enable them to continue running their academies.
"We want to make sure that we get the best support to help us manage the migration to our new academy system," Regan told the SFA website.
"We have identified an organisation from Europe, Double Pass, who work with a number of key countries, including the FAs in England, Belgium, and others in Scandinavia.
"They will be coming on board sometime in 2017 to start the auditing process to establish whether club academies meet the criteria we set out, and will be continually reviewing academies into next year to make sure they are the standard we need."
In his first major task since succeeding McClair in December, Mackay will give presentations to member clubs in the academy programme at events at St Johnstone, Kilmarnock, Oriam and Hampden Park. Club feedback will then be incorporated into the final report before Project Brave becomes operational at the start of season 2017/18.
Mr Comey told a Senate committee they were wrong to denigrate the agency and its leadership.
He was also "confused" by the "shifting explanations" for his sacking, which came as he led a probe into any links between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
President Donald Trump later said he never sought to impede the inquiry.
Mr Trump's attorney, Marc Kasowitz, said in a statement Mr Comey's testimony "finally confirmed publicly" that the president was not under investigation as part of any probe in Russian political meddling.
In the statement, Mr Trump also denied asking Mr Comey for his loyalty or to drop an investigation into fired national security adviser Michael Flynn during private meetings.
In his testimony, Mr Comey said Mr Trump had repeatedly told him he was doing a "great" job.
He also suggested he was fired to "change the way the Russia investigation was being conducted".
The former FBI boss remained largely composed throughout almost three hours of testimony but became impassioned when delivering his opening remarks.
He told the panel that the White House "chose to defame me, and more importantly the FBI" by claiming the agency was "poorly led".
"Those were lies, plain and simple. And I'm so sorry that the FBI workforce had to hear them," he continued.
"The FBI is honest. The FBI is strong. And the FBI is and always will be independent," he said in his opening remarks.
Mr Comey was leading one of several Russia investigations before Mr Trump fired him.
US intelligence agencies believe Russia interfered in the US election and they are investigating alleged links between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
But there is no known evidence of collusion and President Donald Trump has dismissed the story as "fake news".
His spokeswoman Sarah Sanders on Thursday hit back at Mr Comey, saying: "I can definitively say the president is not a liar."
For Donald Trump the good news from James Comey's testimony is that the former FBI director clearly said the president was not directly under FBI investigation at the time he was fired. The bad news was, well, everything else.
On multiple occasions, Mr Comey said he was either concerned or knew that the president or his administration was lying "plain and simple" - about the circumstances of his dismissal and about the nature of his meetings with the president.
It's clear the president woefully mishandled this, for which he has paid a high price ever since. By unceremoniously sacking him, and offering a muddle of explanations for it, he created an adversary with both the means and the motivation to respond in the most damaging way.
Mr Comey had a friend leak disturbing information about the president's actions to the media. He was given the biggest spotlight in a generation to publicly air further details. He stood before a Senate committee not just to defend himself, but also the honour of the FBI.
The White House may claim today's testimony is a technical exoneration. Politically, however, it's a staggering blow. And when it comes to the presidency, politics is everything.
During Thursday's testimony, Mr Comey emphasised that Russia's political meddling was "not a close call", adding: "There should be no fuzz on this whatsoever."
When asked by the Senate Intelligence Committee whether the president tried to stop the Russia investigation, Mr Comey said: "Not to my understanding, no."
He said he it was not for him to say whether Mr Trump's actions were an obstruction of justice.
Democratic Senator Mark Warner, the committee's vice chairman, pressed Mr Comey on why he decided to keep a record of his conversations with Mr Trump.
"I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting" he said.
Mr Comey, who published his prepared remarks a day before the hearing, detailed one meeting with Mr Trump in which the president asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White House aide Jared Kushner to leave the Oval Office.
"I knew something was about to happen that I needed to pay very close attention to," he said. "I remember thinking that that was a very disturbing development."
During another meeting with Mr Trump, Mr Comey said the president appealed to him to "let go" an investigation into fired national security adviser Michael Flynn and his ties to the Kremlin.
After US media reported the conversation, the president warned Mr Comey in a tweet, saying he "better hope there are no 'tapes' of our conversations".
Mr Comey told the committee he hoped there were tapes, calling on Mr Trump to release them.
"The president surely knows whether he taped me, and if he did my feelings aren't hurt. Release all the tapes, I'm good with it," he said.
The White House has refused to say whether any such tapes exist.
After Mr Trump's tweet about potential tapes, Mr Comey said he realised it was important to release his own account of the story.
He revealed that he asked a "good friend of mine" who is a professor at Columbia Law School to share contents of the memo with a reporter, in order to build pressure for a special counsel.
As a result of this episode, former FBI chief Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel to lead an independent investigation into the Trump campaign's potential ties to the Kremlin.
Mr Comey said he was "sure" Mr Mueller was also looking at whether Mr Trump obstructed justice.
Mr Trump attacked Mr Comey for leaking the documents, saying it showed that members of the US government are "actively attempting to undermine this administration".
"He's new in government, and so therefore I think he's learning as he goes," said Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. "I'm not saying it's an acceptable excuse. It's just my observation."
"If you want to convict the president of being inappropriate, putting Comey in a bad spot, being rude, crude and a bull in a china shop, you would win," Senator Lindsey Graham told the BBC.
"The American people elected a bull in a china shop to help them with their lives, not this."
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said "it's hard to overstate the impact of Jim Comey's testimony today" and that "it seems like the walls are closing in".
The BBC has learned the MoD wants to buy a replacement from US firm Boeing, which is offering a cheaper deal for a joint order with other countries.
But the decision has been delayed until 2016, with the UK firm asking to be allowed to make a new bid for the work.
The delay also risks adding to the cost of running the existing Apache fleet.
The dilemma of giving work to a British firm or buying a much cheaper option is much like the one that occurred back in 1995 when the current generation of attack helicopters was bought.
Then the government opted for a contract with Westland that involved fitting the basic American helicopter with new engines, defensive aids and communications, taking its price from around £20m each to £44m per aircraft.
Lt Gen Gary Coward, head of the Joint Helicopter Command from 2005 to 2008, told Newsnight that the earlier Westland deal "cost an awful lot of time and an awful lot of money".
Newsnight understands that Boeing's current offer to the British government is, once again, around £20m per helicopter, which presents the MoD with an opportunity almost unique in defence procurement history, to buy a new weapon for a fraction of the price of the one it is replacing.
Lt Gen Coward says "there really is no choice" now and that Boeing's offer "is the only sensible option".
Yet, although the MoD made its recommendation to No 10 in October last year, stating a preference for the Boeing option, the order has been held up following representations to Downing Street by AgustaWestland.
Newsnight has been told that the order cannot go ahead until "after the election" because of the political sensitivities of opting for an off-the-shelf buy from Boeing.
Former defence secretary Geoff Hoon, who now runs AgustaWestland's international business division, has been part of the lobbying effort.
The delays could be very expensive. American suppliers will its support of the equipment carried in the Army's current generation of WAH-64 Apaches in 2017, adding greatly to the costs of maintaining the existing fleet.
And Boeing's offer price to the UK is conditional on it joining an imminent, much larger, order for the US Army.
Even if an order were placed immediately after the election, the aircraft would not enter service before 2020. The Army fears a "capability gap" and rising costs as support for the existing plane is switched off from 2017 onwards.
The BBC understands that AgustaWestland has persuaded the government that it should be allowed to make a new bid for the business.
Many in the MoD fear that will provide an opportunity for "gold plating", increasing the value of the work to the Yeovil-based manufacturer.
Signing up for Boeing's project, called Block III Apache AH-64E - a batch of 240 machines to be supplied to the US and other armies - offers the advantage of being part of a large, and therefore cheaper, deal.
However, giving Boeing the contract would leave AgustaWestland short of work. Backers of the firm argue that even the off-the-shelf Boeing helicopter would need some modification, for example to its communications equipment, to make it interoperable with British forces.
The MoD is so keen on the Boeing option that it has already discussed with the Pentagon ways in which the Block III Apache order book might be kept open a little longer so that the UK can join and gain from the likely savings of being part of a bulk order.
The MoD said in a statement: "The assessment phase of the Attack Helicopter Capability Sustainment Programme, which will supply 50 latest-generation Apache helicopters to the UK, is ongoing.
"This phase includes establishing best value for money for the taxpayer and will conclude in March 2016, at which point a decision will be made as to the best procurement route."
However, the suggestion that the assessment will finish in March 2016 marks yet a further six-month delay to the project because Newsnight understands that the Joint Helicopter Command was determined to reach that milestone by September 2015.
Awarding the new contract offers the MoD a chance to make a landmark decision to put cost-effectiveness ahead of industrial interests. But the politics involved with the West Country helicopter-making business have never been easy, as previous defence secretaries can bear witness.
Matthew Kitchener, from Porthcawl, attacked victim Helen John-Hall on the doorstep of her Wellfield Avenue home on his 20th birthday in August 2002.
She was stabbed in the neck and strangled, and only survived because a neighbour disturbed him and he ran off.
He pleaded guilty at Cardiff Crown Court in November that year.
Kitchener, now 34, confessed to a friend who called the police.
He has been held in a series of young offenders' institutions and prisons, then at mental hospitals.
On Friday, three senior judges at London's Criminal Appeal Court said he should never have been sent to jail in the first place, following an appeal by his lawyers.
Lord Justice Flaux said Kitchener had served five years in 2007 and was being considered for a move to an open prison when mental health concerns arose.
He was assessed and "scored very highly" on a psychopathy test, resulting in him actually being moved to more secure conditions.
There, Kitchener attempted suicide and spoke of "increasingly violent thoughts and fantasies".
He was sectioned and has since been confined to various secure mental hospitals, where he is receiving treatment.
Assessment of the offender, who now uses the name Jude Armel, had resulted in a diagnosis of a "psychopathic disorder".
It was probably that disorder which caused the apparently motiveless and impulsive attack, as opposed to any "criminal motive", experts said.
Allowing his appeal, the judge, sitting with Mr Justice Blake and Mr Justice William Davis, said he was convinced Kitchener had suffered from the psychopathic disorder at the time.
He continued: "In the light of what is now known, he needs hospital treatment. His disorder was not initially identified in prison and cannot be treated there.
"Prison is counter-productive to the treatment needed, that can only be provided in a hospital setting."
The life term was replaced with a mental health order, meaning he will be detained and treated in a mental hospital until experts are convinced he is not a danger.
Damien Chazelle's movie is up for best musical or comedy film, while there are acting nominations for its stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.
Chazelle is up for best film director and it is also nominated for original screenplay, score and song.
Coming-of-age drama Moonlight is close behind with six nominations, including best drama film.
British actress Naomie Harris is up for best supporting actress for her role as a drug addict in the film.
Manchester by the Sea, about a caretaker who finds himself taking in his teenage nephew, has five nods - best drama film, original screenplay, director for Kenneth Lonergan, actor for Casey Affleck and supporting actress for Michelle Williams.
The other best drama actor nominees are Joel Edgerton for Loving, Andrew Garfield for Hacksaw Ridge, Viggo Mortensen for Captain Fantastic and Denzel Washington for Fences.
Natalie Portman is favourite for the best drama actress award for playing Jacqueline Kennedy in the biopic Jackie.
She will face competition from Arrival's Amy Adams, Jessica Chastain for Miss Sloane, Isabelle Huppert for Elle and Ruth Negga for Loving.
World War II biopic Hacksaw Ridge, Texan family drama Hell or High Water and Indian/Australian coming-of-age movie Lion are also up for best drama film.
BBC series The Night Manager has fared well in the TV categories, with nods for its British stars Olivia Colman, Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. It is also up for best limited series.
The Golden Globe nominations contained few real surprises and in many ways have confirmed, rather than changed the direction of this year's film awards race, which will culminate with the Oscars in February.
Since it opened the Venice Film Festival in August, La La Land has been seen as the frontrunner for best film and best director at the Academy Awards, with its main rivals remaining Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea.
Although the Golden Globes offers twice as many lead acting categories as the Baftas or the Oscars, today has done little to change the perception that Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea) and Emma Stone (La La Land) remain the favourites for the best actor and best actress Academy Awards.
Perhaps most notable is the performance of Moonlight, with just one nomination fewer than La La Land. The Miami-set story of a young black man dealing with his sexuality now looks like the leading film to help end the race controversy of the last two years, with Mahershala Ali heavily tipped to win best supporting actor.
And while Fences performed less strongly overall, Viola Davis is also thought likely to win best supporting actress. A welcome sign that after two years of #OscarsSoWhite, next year's Academy Awards nominations are likely to be more diverse - and on top of that the favourites to win in two of the acting categories are black.
Olivia Colman faces fellow Brit Thandie Newton (Westworld) for best supporting actress in a limited TV series, as well as Game of Thrones star Lena Heady plus Chrissy Metz and Mandy Moore, who are both recognised for family comedy drama This Is Us.
The Night Of's British star Riz Ahmed is nominated alongside Hiddleston for best actor in a limited TV series. They are up against Bryan Cranston for All the Way, John Turturro for for The Night Of and Courtney B Vance for American Crime Story: OJ Simpson v The People.
American Crime Story: OJ Simpson v The People is also recognised, with acting nominations for John Travolta, Sterling K Brown and Sarah Paulson alongside Vance. The drama is also up for best limited series.
In the movie categories, Disney's Zootopia and Moana are among those up for best animated feature film, alongside Kubo and the Strings, My Life as A Zucchini and Sing.
Florence Foster Jenkins, based on the true story of a New York heiress who dreams of being an opera star, has four nominations, including a 30th Golden Globe nod for Meryl Streep and one for Hugh Grant.
It is also up for best comedy or musical film alongside La La Land, 20th Century Woman, Deadpool and Irish film Sing Street, which was written and directed by Once film-maker John Carney.
Other actors recognised in the musical/comedy category include Colin Farrell (The Lobster), Jonah Hill (War Dogs) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool).
Alongside La La Land's Stone and Streep in best actress in a musical or comedy film category are Lily Collins (Rules Don't Apply), Hailee Steinfeld (The Edge of Seventeen) and Annette Bening (20th Century Women).
Sully, starring Tom Hanks, was a notable omission from the list, as was with Martin Scorsese's Silence.
The Golden Globes will be handed out in Los Angeles on 8 January at a ceremony hosted by Jimmy Fallon.

Cornelius Van Der Wetering, 54, was last seen in the Tomich area, about 30 miles from Inverness, on Wednesday 28 December.
Highland police said the body of a man in his 50s was found in a wooded area at about 15:30 on Thursday, near where Mr Van Der Wetering was last seen.
The death is not being treated as suspicious.
As with all sudden deaths, a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
Police Scotland said they were liaising with Mr Van Der Wetering's family in the Netherlands and thanked members of the public who took part in the search to find him.
The dispute has been over changes to "premium payments" for working weekends.
They have been offered a buy-out equivalent to five years' worth of premium payments, and a 4% pay rise.
BBC Wales understands that ministers are providing all of the finance for the extra money being offered.
The previous best offer was a two and a half year buy-out, so Welsh Government is providing another two and a half years' worth of cash.
Staff can take this as a lump sum, or spread over five years. There is an additional option of taking the payment over four years with a pension.
Depending on how many Saturdays and Sundays they work, the payments for affected staff will range from £163 to £20,000.
The Welsh Government support is significant, as the museum has previously blamed government cuts to its budget for forcing it to cut the wages of some of its lowest paid staff.
NMW in a statement said it had received "additional financial support" from the Welsh Government and has now presented the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) with an enhanced offer.
Staff will be required to work no more than one in two weekends as the result of a review of weekend working.
About 300 of the museum's staff receive the payments and 220 are PCS members.
600 staff
300 receive weekend premium payments
£4,000 lump sum offer equivalent to two years of weekend payments
-4.7% grant funding cut from Welsh Government, 2016/17
The union has been holding strikes at NMW sites, while industrial action has been going on for more than two years.
NMW said with the pay rise it was a better offer than union members accepted at National Museums Scotland in April.
PCS said: "We welcome the fact the employer has tabled a new offer and we're currently considering the detail and consulting members.
"We remain committed to negotiating a lasting settlement to this dispute that treats our members fairly and with the respect they deserve."
The hosts went in front in the fourth minute through Andrai Jones, but eight minutes later were reduced to 10 men when Hynes was dismissed for a late lunge on Sam Togwell.
Eastleigh's numerical advantage did not last long as Joe Partington saw red in the 23rd minute and Southport doubled their lead on the half-hour mark through Liam Nolan's finish from a tight angle.
Reda Johnson got one back for Eastleigh two minutes later, but Declan Weeks' fine finish shortly after half-time made it 3-1.
James Constable got a second for Eastleigh, but they had another man sent off in the 69th minute when Hakeem Odoffin was dismissed.
Jamie Allen added a fourth for Southport from the spot six minutes later, but the hosts still had to survive an anxious finish, with Constable grabbing his second of the game four minutes from time.

Britain's longest reigning monarch - she overtook her great great grandmother, Victoria, in 2015 - has already commemorated her Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees.
Today, after 23,742 days on the throne, it's the start of the first Sapphire Jubilee in British history.
For the Queen, it's a moment for contemplation rather than celebration - as it is also the anniversary of her father's death.
The woman who became Queen in 1952, when butter was still rationed in those post-war years, continues to reign, 65 years on, in a country now fashioning its future outside of the EU.
In the coming months and years, she will, inevitably, do less and other royals will take on more - most notably Prince William, once he finishes his job as an air ambulance pilot in the summer.
The 90-year-old working monarch has another significant moment on the horizon.
In November, she and Prince Philip will mark 70 years of marriage.
The 29-year-old has won 51 caps and scored a try against eventual winners New Zealand during the World Cup.
He helped Toulouse win the 2010 Heineken Cup and the Top 14 title in the following two years.
"Louis is a world class player and a proven performer at the highest level of club and international rugby," said Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder.
"He was France's standout performer at the World Cup and we're excited by the prospect of him linking up with the quality players we have here already."
Picamoles spent seven seasons at Toulouse, following five with Montpellier.
"He is still young and we believe that his best years are still to come," added Mallinder.
"When we met it was clear that he has the drive and ambition to improve and be successful, and we're delighted that he will be doing that here with us at Franklin's Gardens.
"Louis is a fantastic addition to the squad and his signing is a real coup for the club as we look to continually improve and compete at the highest level, both in the Aviva Premiership and in Europe."
Picamoles started all five of France's matches at the World Cup and has scored seven tries for his country.
"It is going to be an honour to become part of a club as prestigious as the Saints," Picamoles said.
"I'm really looking forward to learning more about the club, my future team-mates, to play in the Premiership and to immerse myself in the English culture, especially my first big derby against Leicester.
"I'm really ambitious to win titles and I'm convinced that I will do this with the Saints."
The funeral for Mohammed Rafia was held at a military hospital in the capital with soldiers carrying his coffin.
He had gone missing from the north-eastern Barzeh area on Friday night.
Mr Rafia's family received his body on Sunday. They said there were bullet wounds in the head, neck and shoulder.
The 30-year-old actor had become well-known across the Arab world for his role in a TV series about Syria under French colonial rule.
That, though, was several years ago when Syrian TV was challenging Egypt and Lebanon with the quality and popularity of its shows and films.
But since the uprising against Mr Assad began last year, he became known for something else - his very public support for the Syrian leader.
On YouTube, Mr Rafia can still be seen backing the Syrian government line in eloquent English that the protesters and opposition fighters are nothing but terrorists.
That is why he was killed - both his friends and enemies say.
An extremist rebel group says it killed him, though this cannot be verified.
Opposition sources accuse him of passing information to the government. Some even say he was a member of the feared shabiha - the paramilitaries that have carried out many atrocities in the name of the government.
Other opposition groups have distanced themselves from his killing.
His family and friends say he simply wanted peace and hated the killing on both sides.
His death is another sign of the abyss of personal hatred and violence into which Syria has fallen.
The former star is suing the force for damages after he was detained in 2007 over the death of Stuart Lubbock.
Mr Lubbock was found dead in a swimming pool at Mr Barrymore's home in 2001.
In High Court documents, the force admits the detective who was supposed to arrest the star was delayed.
The force said it wanted to question Mr Barrymore, whose real name is Michael Parker, and two other men over the rape and murder of Mr Lubbock after new evidence emerged.
Post-mortem tests found the 31-year-old butcher had suffered severe internal injuries indicating sexual assault and his bloodstream contained ecstasy, cocaine and alcohol.
Mr Barrymore and the other men were arrested and later released without charge.
In its defence document, Essex Police said: "The arrest of the claimant was unlawful only by reason of the fact the arresting officer, PC Cootes, was not fully aware of the grounds for arrest... and not by reason of a lack of reasonable grounds to suspect the claimant."
PC Cootes, who was carrying out covert surveillance at the property where Mr Barrymore was staying in 2007, was ordered to make the arrest when the designated officer, Det Con Sue Jenkins, was delayed.
"Since the claimant would have been lawfully arrested but for the said delay, he is entitled only to nominal damages for false imprisonment," the defence document added.
Mr Barrymore's lawyers said police did not have reasonable grounds for suspecting him of the rape or murder of Mr Lubbock, and the arrest was unlawful and "wholly disproportionate and unreasonable".
Their court documents also said Mr Barrymore "suffered loss and damage namely distress, shock, anxiety and damage to his reputation".
He has also claimed his career suffered because of the police handling of the case.
Essex Police said if earnings had been lost, it would be because of "matters outside the defendant's control", including that a young man had been found dead in his swimming pool which had "inevitably" led to a police investigation and inquest.
A decision will be made in the New Year by a High Court judge about compensation Mr Barrymore may receive.
"I'm thrilled to confirm that the @MTV European Music Awards are returning to London," announced mayor Sadiq Khan on Twitter.

The ferry sank in April 2014, killing 304 people - most of them children.
The remains of nine people are yet to be recovered and their families campaigned for the ship to be raised.
The captain and several crew members have been given jail terms for failing to protect passengers, as was the captain of a coast guard vessel involved in the botched rescue effort.
The passengers included 325 pupils aged between 16 and 17 from who were on a school trip to the holiday island of Jeju when the ferry sank.
The wreckage will be salvaged by a consortium led by Shanghai Salvage. It will be raised by next July at a cost of $73m (£47m).
To recover any bodies remaining within the ship, engineers will enclose the wreck in two sets of netting so that the complete contents will rise with the vessel, the BBC's Evans in Seoul reports.
It will be the grisliest of tasks but also one of much political sensitivity, he adds.
In April South Korean President Park Guen-hye promised the vessel would be raised at the earliest opportunity amid intense public criticism of the government.
Investigators have said the ferry sank after an inexperienced crew member made too fast a turn. The combination of an illegal redesign and overload meant the ship was unstable.
The owner of ferry operator Chonghaejin Marine Co, Yoo Byung-eun, disappeared after the disaster and was eventually found dead.
The ferry sank in waters between 37 and 43 metres (121 and 141 feet) deep.
While salvage operations have been undertaken in deeper seas, the site of the Sewol is a channel subject to notoriously dangerous currents and heavy surface winds.
Two divers died searching for bodies inside the vessel last year.
Sewol ferry: How it could be raised
The 26-year-old Bath back-rower has not played since Christmas Eve after suffering a knee injury.
George North and Dan Biggar will be given time to prove their fitness after suffering injuries during the 33-7 win in Italy.
Biggar injured ribs and North played on after taking an early blow to the thigh in Sunday's win in Rome.
Lock Luke Charteris is also a doubt for Saturday's game at the Principality Stadium having missed the opening match because of a slight fracture to his hand.
"We are giving Dan Biggar and George North as long as possible to make the game," defence coach Shaun Edwards said.
"They're two vital players for us, it's no pulled muscles or anything, just bruising so it's whether they can handle the pain.
"There's really bad bruising on George's leg and the flight home didn't help. We are worried about both of them."
Biggar's replacement, Ospreys team-mate Sam Davies, played a part in two of Wales' second-half tries.
It was his adventure deep in Wales' own 22 which set up North's score and took Howley's team within touching distance of the tournament's first try bonus point.
"We had the ball when he came on," Edwards added.
"He put in some lovely sublime touches that contributed to creating tries. Sometimes the best attacking players are best in the last 20 minutes."
Wales will announce the team to face England on Thursday at 13:00 GMT.
The exciting teenager, 18, has missed the promotion-chasing Saddlers' last two games with an ankle injury.
Henry sat out a 2-1 home loss to Wigan Athetic before 'tweaking' the injury which left him benched for Saturday's goalless draw at leaders Burton Albion.
"He's had problems with his ankle since I've been here," said O'Driscoll.
"We've just got to be careful with him. He trained on Thursday, then he trained on Friday and tweaked his ankle again, which is why we had to pull him out of the previous game. And you've got to train to play."
Although frustrated by a run of one win in six league games, and no wins at home in four this year, which has seen the Saddlers drop six points behind top spot, O'Driscoll remains patient.
And he insists that making unnecessary loan signings would fly in the face of the home-grown philosophy developed under previous boss Dean Smith.
"Rico's got a fantastic future," added O'Driscoll. "He's got a great attitude. He plays with no fear. It's part of his development. He's been allowed to play.
"There's one or two others here who, at another club, would have been left by the wayside, but here they get a chance. That's the ethos of the club. Loading us with three or four loan players would be throwing that philosophy out of the window."
Henry has been watched by a lot of clubs this season and is reportedly a target for both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
O'Driscoll also highlighted Saddlers skipper Adam Chambers, who is still going strong at the age of 35 in his 15th season as a professional, as an inspiration to Henry and the promising young players at Bescot.
"Do the right things," he said. "It doesn't matter whether you're 18, 28 or 38. Adam Chambers is a great example of someone who does the right things.
"It doesn't matter what their age is. Sometimes, they just don't know what those right things are, but the sooner that it gets embedded the better.
"Don't wait until 28 then suddenly find out. A lot of players do and suddenly think I'd better look after myself."
The letter tells reservists which regiment or unit to join in the event of war, he told the BBC.
He insisted that the correspondence was not related to Russia's annexation of Crimea or recent fighting in Ukraine.
However, neutral Finland has increased co-operation with Nato this year.
In April the Finnish navy dropped depth charges in waters near Helsinki as a warning to a suspected submarine, which some media reports said was Russian.
The air force in recent months has also had to deal with some airspace violations by Russian warplanes.
Russia has repeatedly warned Finland not to join Nato and has criticised its co-operation with Nato members.
Finland's defence ministry said letters to conscripts were sent throughout May to inform them of changes to the structure of Finland's military.
"The letter reminds them of their responsibilities and what they will be expected to do in the event of a military crisis," the spokesman told the BBC. "The process was started before events in Crimea and Ukraine and is done in part to ensure that we have the right contact details."
But recipients say it is the first time such correspondence has been sent for many years and that the mass communication tactic reflects the concern of the authorities about Russia's intentions.
The Soviet Union invaded Finland in 1939, seizing more than 10% of the country's territory before a peace deal was signed in 1940.
Finland was part of the Russian empire for more than 100 years before it won independence in 1917.
During the Cold War, Finland was officially neutral, but remained under the influence of its neighbour. It forged close ties with the Soviet Union.
Finland shares a 1,340km (833-mile) border with Russia. It has a system of universal male conscription under which all men above 18 serve for 165, 255 or 347 days.
The regular army has about 12,000 soldiers and can rapidly expand to about 280,000 troops if reservists are called up, the defence ministry says.
The former West Ham United man, 22, joined Wigan for an undisclosed fee in January but was immediately loaned back to National League Macclesfield Town.
He previously played for Accrington, having started his career at Stockport, before a 2013 switch to the Hammers.
"He's definitely ready for League Two. His game will fit our game perfectly," said manager Gary Johnson.
"It's a good move for him, because it will get him some much-need experience, and it gives me good competition in my squad," he told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
Whitehead's switch from non-league to West Ham in 2013 came after a recommendation from former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann to then Hammers boss Sam Allardyce.

Cleaners at Heathrow had written to the airport's boss complaining a deal for a higher rate of pay had been applied only to directly employed staff.
The deal had been part of conditions to allow Heathrow's expansion.
Heathrow has now accepted the principle of higher pay for all, but says it has yet to work out its implementation.
Citizens UK, the community activist group which has supported the airport cleaners, welcomed the commitment from Heathrow but said there were "serious and urgent questions about the timeframe".
Last month, cleaners and other agency staff at the airport wrote to Heathrow's chief executive, John Holland-Kaye, saying they were missing out on the London living wage.
This London living wage is £9.75 per hour - higher than the mandatory National Living Wage of £7.20 per hour for workers aged over 25.
The Airports Commission's report into airport expansion set a number of conditions for Heathrow, including that the airport should adopt the London living wage.
But this was applied only to directly employed Heathrow staff - and contract workers wrote to Mr Holland-Kaye to say that low wages denied them "dignity".
The contract staff argued that the pay levels - which for a 40-hour week could be less than £15,000 per year - were not enough for the cost of accommodation and transport in London.
"This means that some of us have to work several jobs in order to be able to feed our families," said the letter, organised by Citizens UK.
"This puts a lot of pressure on our family life as it means we work very long days and have little time to spend with our children."
A letter this week from Heathrow's chief executive to the union says: "The Davies Commission report contained a condition for Heathrow to 'demonstrate leadership as a community employer by adopting the London living wage'.
"We have accepted this condition as part of the planning consent."
But the letter says the airport will have to work with suppliers to see how it could apply the London living wage to all staff.
"We will announce our more detailed plans to become a London living wage employer when we have completed that work, probably in 2017," says the letter from Heathrow.
GMB representative Perry Phillips says it is a "positive step" the airport has "demonstrated its commitment on becoming a London living wage employer".
But Revd Simon Cuff of West London Citizens said: "There are hundreds if not thousands of workers who need a living wage now and cannot afford to wait. We want to see progress made as soon as possible."
A report this week from the Resolution Foundation said that agency workers were the "forgotten face" in debates about low pay.
The think tank said there would be a million agency workers in the UK by 2020 - and they were likely to earn less than than directly-employed staff.

England will face Scotland at Wembley on Friday, 11 November 2016, with the return game in Scotland to be played on Saturday, 10 June 2017.
England and Scotland last met in two friendlies in the 2013-14 season, with Roy Hodgson's side winning 3-2 at Wembley and 3-1 at Celtic Park.
Their last competitive meeting was a two-legged play-off for Euro 2000, which England won 2-1 on aggregate.
Scotland boss Gordon Strachan said: "Just as the sun came out in Glasgow, we heard we will play England.
"I can see why the fans are celebrating, it's a fantastic fixture.
"The last time the two sides met England stepped it up a gear and it was a fantastic lesson - they pressurise you and you make mistakes and that's something that sticks with us - and I hope will stick with us to fire us on.
"The good thing from the supporters' point of view is there are no ridiculous journeys."
England manager Roy Hodgson, whose current contract runs until the end of Euro 2016, also believes that the tie will intrigue supporters on both sides of the border.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "The Scotland fixture really excite people, the recent friendly matches showed that, and we have got recent experience of what the atmosphere will be like. The games will excite the public, get people in the mass media excited too, it is a good draw all round - I think Scotland will be happy with it and we are happy with it.
"It is a great honour to be England manager - I shall be delighted to retain that position all the time people want me too, but it won't occupy my thoughts at this point in time.
"I'm pleased to come away with a good group and if England want me to lead the team I will be delighted to do so."
Wales and the Republic of Ireland were in the same qualifying group for the Euro 2008 finals, with Stephen Ireland giving Ireland a 1-0 win in Dublin before a 2-2 draw in Cardiff.
Wales manager Chris Coleman told BBC Radio 5 live: "We've really improved in the last three years. We fancy ourselves against anyone. You look at other groups - it could have been easier or tougher. There's a lot of football to go in the Euro 2016 qualifiers before this.
"This has been the biggest honour of my career. My sole focus is on leading my country to France. After that I'll look at what's next.
"We've had a bit of fun being in pot one. It's new for us. We've really enjoyed it."
In the afternoon's earlier global draws 20 preliminary ties in Africa were organised, the order of matches in South America decided and groups in both the Concacaf and Oceania federations resolved.

Dean Lowe, 32, is accused of killing Kirsty Noden, also 32, who has not been seen by neighbours in Marazion, Cornwall, since January.
Officers began investigating her disappearance last week after hearing from police in a different part of the country that she may have come to harm.
Mr Lowe will appear before magistrates in Cornwall on Monday.
Miss Noden, who is also known as Kirby Noden, has links to Torquay, Ellesmere Port, Crewe and Merseyside.
A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: "Miss Noden had initially been treated as a high-risk missing person following concerns for her welfare from her friends and relatives in the north west of England.
"Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who has had contact with or seen Kirsty since December 2016.
"Kirsty has yet to be located and searches and inquiries continue to trace her."
She is described as white, of heavy build and 5ft 8ins (172cm) tall.
The 34-year-old dropped a piece of glass on his foot while practising at his Leicester home.
"I had to wear a protective boot for three weeks and they said it would take four to six weeks to heal," Selby said.
"I had to pull out of the Riga Masters but I'm lucky it didn't happen at a busier time of the season."
Selby, who is set to play in the Hong Kong Masters invitational event which starts on 20 July, won the World Championship for the third time on 1 May, beating John Higgins in the final.
His victory in snooker's showpiece event was his fifth ranking event win of the season.
"It will be very difficult to replicate that," Selby said. "To win five events in one season was more than I expected.
"But there's no danger of me taking my foot off the gas - that will only happen when I stop enjoying it. I love competing and I will be practising as hard as ever this season."
Sigala's song Easy Love welds Michael Jackson's vocals to a summery house beat. It has beaten the original song's chart peak of number eight.
The track even has the seal of approval from Tito Jackson, who said he "loved the track", according to Sigala.
Meanwhile, in the album chart, Iron Maiden scored their fifth number one with The Book Of Souls.
The band's 16th studio album had combined sales of more than 60,000 copies - almost double that of its nearest rival, I Cry When I Laugh, by Jess Glynne.
However, Glynne could console herself with two new entries in the singles chart.
Her current release, Don't Be So Hard On Yourself, rose two places to number three, while former number one Hold My Hand re-entered the countdown at 37.
The Londoner performed both songs on Strictly Come Dancing's launch show last week.
Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean was dethroned from the number one slot after just one week. But the song still managed to break the UK's all-time streaming record, clocking up 3.87 million plays over the last seven days.
There were 10 new entries in the album chart, as the music industry gears up for the busy Christmas period.
The newcomers had a distinctly 1980s flavour - with Iron Maiden joined by A-Ha, Public Image Limited and Duran Duran, whose hit album Rio reappears at 28.
The band's latest album, Paper Gods, was released on Friday.
Other new entries came from pop newcomer Troye Sivan at five and rock group Five Finger Death Punch at six.
Sam Smith's record In The Lonely Hour spent its 68th week in the top 10, climbing one place to number four after the singer revealed he would sing the new James Bond theme.
L/Cpl Michael Pritchard, of the 4th Regiment, Royal Military Police, was shot dead in Sangin in 2009.
A post-mortem report read out at the inquest revealed the 22-year-old soldier died of a single gunshot wound to the chest and abdomen.
East Sussex coroner Alan Craze recorded a narrative verdict.
L/Cpl Pritchard, who was born in Maidstone, Kent, but lived in Eastbourne, East Sussex, had been deployed to observation post N30 to watch a blind spot on the road and make sure Taliban insurgents were not planting improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
The inquest heard that it was thought the bullet was fired from another remote observation post, known as a sangar, by L/Cpl Malcolm Graham, of the Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion, who thought he was shooting at insurgents laying IEDs.
He said a number of factors including poor communication had played a part, but the basic reason for the tragedy was the failure of the organisation which would have prevented "blue-on-blue" contact.
The coroner said erroneous decisions were made, but L/Cpl Pritchard's death was an accident, although an avoidable one.
He said: "I am inclined to the view that there were no insurgents there at all.
"If that is the case how did this fatal misunderstanding come about?"
By Jonathan BealeDefence correspondent, BBC News
The coroner Alan Craze summed up this tragic story as "fundamentally an accident, albeit an avoidable accident". Through the six days of evidence the court heard how Lance Corporal Michael Pritchard's unit were tired and had a heightened sense of danger. They'd been sent to the Sangin Valley, arguably the most dangerous part of Helmand at the time. A member of the unit had lost his leg to a roadside bomb just days earlier. There was a sense that they'd arrived in a hornet's nest.
They'd been ordered to protect a key route from the Taliban. But the coroner noted that none of the soldiers had been there long enough to adjust to their surroundings. Some soldiers were not briefed on the precise locations of observation posts where their own troops were stationed. There were blind spots and problems with radio communications.
The coroner concluded that the "basic reason for the tragedy was the failure of organisation systems to prevent blue on blue contacts".
Mistakes were clearly made. But it was the confusion often described as "the fog of war".
Mr Craze said the soldiers were tired, facing heightened vulnerability and had found themselves in circumstances that were not calm or rational.
"There was an overriding sense that they had arrived in a hornets' nest in a war zone and that they had to win," he said.
"So although there was no gung-ho or snap happy attitude they were there to engage insurgents."
The coroner said it would never be known if messages were sent and not received.
But he said everything of importance had eventually filtered through, so he could not blame the tragedy entirely on communications failure.
Mr Craze said the situation had been exacerbated by an inadequate briefings system and lack of understanding about where the restricted firing line was.
After the hearing, the dead soldier's father Gary Pritchard said: "We hope and trust that the Army will take steps to ensure that this event should not happen again.
"It is clear to me that there are lessons to be learnt."
L/Cpl Pritchard's mother Helen Perry said her son phoned her three times in the week before he died and she could hear fear in his voice.
Ms Perry said: "Nobody in command took any action to rectify the situation and subsequently nobody has taken any responsibility for Michael's death. He has received no apology."
She said radio and communication problems, procedures that were not robust and poor leadership meant her son was observed for more than an hour by seven people who all thought they were looking at insurgents.
"There was an onus on the people who were higher up the chain to take control and rectify the situation in order to save Michael's life," she added.
Lt Col Nadine Parks, commanding officer of 4th Regiment Royal Military Police, said L/Cpl Pritchard was a brave, professional soldier who made a huge impact on the regiment.
She said the soldier, who was based for a time at Aldershot, Hampshire, had an inner integrity and sincerity that made him committed to his duty.
Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said such attacks were doubling every year and this year's presidential elections could be targeted.
He said it would be "naive" to think France was immune to the type of cyber-campaign that targeted the US election, which has been blamed on Russia.
Mr Le Drian is overseeing an overhaul of France's cyber-security operations.
Cyber-attacks in France have increased substantially in the last three years and have become a serious threat to the country's infrastructure, Mr Le Drian said.
In an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper, Mr Le Drian said that France "should not be naive".
He said that thousands of external attacks had been blocked, including attempts at disrupting France's drone systems.
His warning comes in the wake of a US intelligence report alleging that Russia was involved in an attempt to influence the 2016 presidential campaign.
Russia denies any involvement in cyber-attacks or hacking.
French elections in April and May this year are being carefully watched after the surprise victory of US President-elect Donald Trump, who said on Saturday that those who oppose good relations with Russia are "stupid people, or fools".
French conservative candidate Francois Fillon has said that he wants to improve relations with Russia and has been praised by Russian president Vladimir Putin. Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen also favours closer relations with Russia.
Relations between the two countries deteriorated after France's socialist president, Francois Hollande, played a key role in imposing sanctions on Russia when Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014.
Mr Hollande also suggested last year that Russia could face war crimes charges over its bombardment of the Syrian city of Aleppo.
In April 2015, a powerful cyber-attack came close to destroying French TV network TV5Monde, which was taken off air.
A group calling itself the Cyber Caliphate, linked to so-called Islamic State (IS), initially claimed responsibility. But an investigation later discovered that it was carried out by a group of Russian hackers.
The vice-president is always in the background, often looking over Donald Trump's shoulder with an approving nod as the president delivers a speech or signs yet another executive order. When it comes to engaging in the bare-knuckle brawling that has played itself out through anonymous sources and well-timed insider leaks, however, the vice-president and his associates have largely stayed out of the fray.
Thursday night, then, was quite unusual. Two major US media outlets - CNN and NBC News - ran articles, complete with quotes from anonymous White House sources, distancing the vice-president from the current chaos in the administration and the running controversy over possible Trump campaign ties to the Russian government during the 2016 US presidential election.
"We certainly knew we needed to be prepared for the unconventional," an unnamed Pence aide told CNN's Elizabeth Landers, but "not to this extent".
The proximate cause for the concern among the vice-president's camp was a New York Times article earlier this week reporting that Michael Flynn, Mr Trump's prominent campaign surrogate and short-lived national security adviser, had in early January informed the presidential transition team - then headed by Mr Pence - that he was under investigation for his ties to the Turkish government.
In March Mr Pence denied any knowledge of Mr Flynn's Turkish ties before they were made public earlier that month.
A "source close to the administration" told NBC that Mr Pence stands by his comments and he was not told of Mr Flynn's Turkish connections.
"That's an egregious error - and it has to be intentional," the source said. "It's either malpractice or intentional, and either are unacceptable."
Complicating matters for the vice-president is that this is not the first time he has taken the White House line, only to be undercut by subsequent revelations.
Just last week he asserted, repeatedly, that the president decided to fire FBI Director James Comey based on a memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
One day later the president himself told an interviewer that he knew he was going to terminate the law enforcement chief before the memo was even written.
Mr Pence was also part of the White House efforts in January to push back against reports that Mr Flynn discussed US sanctions on Russia with that nation's ambassador to the US, Sergei Kislyak - allegations that were later proven to be true.
Mr Flynn was fired, the White House said, for misleading the vice-president on the matter.
If Thursday night's story is any indication, the vice-president may now be trying to put some distance between himself and an administration that has made a habit of leaving him out on a limb.
If the Trump presidency is truly in trouble, and this week's appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller is a dark storm cloud on the horizon, this could be evidence that the vice-president is contemplating a future after Mr Trump. He's certainly not abandoning ship, but he's familiarising himself with where the lifeboats are stored.
If so, he's not the only one. Politico ran a story earlier this week about conservatives - on the record and off - who were "hinting" that a President Pence would be a welcome reprieve from the drama of the Trump presidency.
To get there, of course, Mr Trump would have to resign or be removed from office, leaving the vice-president as next in line for the job.
Such speculation is decidedly premature, of course, but then there was another tidbit this week that has stoked the flames.
Trump-Russia Scandal: How did we get here?
Follow Anthony Zurcher on Twitter.
Mr Pence, according to Federal Election Commission filings, has started a committee to collect political donations.
A source within the vice-president's office told NBC that the "Great American Committee", as it's named, will allow Mr Pence to cover travel expenses and support Republican candidates in upcoming elections.
It's a move, however, that none of the vice-president's predecessors ever made - and has been a traditional opening step for past presidential candidates.
Democrats have also taken note of Mr Pence's manoeuvres and are adjusting their fire accordingly.
"Mike Pence was a major player in the scandals enveloping the Trump administration, and no amount of spinning and leaking to reporters from him and his team can change that fact," writes Oliver Willis of the liberal website Shareblue.
There's no telling what Mr Trump, who prizes loyalty above all else, thinks of all this.
Reports are he's been angered in the past by aides, such as top White House adviser Steve Bannon, who have stepped too far into the limelight.
He famously said of Mr Comey in January that he had "become more famous than me" - then later justified sacking him by saying he was a "showboat" and a "grandstander".
There is of course one key difference between Mr Pence and anyone else working in the Trump administration.
The vice-president got his job through the will of American voters (or, at least, the Electoral College).
Mr Trump can't fire him.
Simon Stevens told MPs this was "stretching it" and there were "clearly substantial funding pressures".
And, in clashes with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, the PM called claims of a "humanitarian crisis" in the NHS "irresponsible" and "overblown".
But Mr Corbyn said Theresa May was "in denial" over the situation.
There have been several warnings in recent days about the pressure on the health service in England.
The Royal College of Nursing said its members were reporting the worst conditions they had experienced.
In a separate move, 50 leading doctors have warned the prime minster in a letter that lives are being put at risk because of mounting pressures on the NHS - and charities working with elderly people said long-term solutions were needed.
On Sunday, Mrs May told Sky News that, when the government had asked the NHS what it needed for the next five years, it had been given "more funding" than "required".
But, appearing before the Public Accounts Committee, which monitors government spending, Mr Stevens said it was wrong to say "we'll be getting more than we asked for".
Ministers said NHS England had asked for £8bn and been allocated £10bn. But Mr Stevens told MPs that was to cover six years rather than the five-year plan he had put forward.
"I don't think that's the same as saying we are getting more than we asked for over five years."
He also told the cross-party committee: "In the here and now, there are very real pressures. Over the next three years funding is going to be highly constrained and in 2018-19, as I've previously said in October, real-terms NHS spending per person in England is going to go down, 10 years after Lehman Brothers and austerity began.
"We all understand why that is, but let's not pretend that that's not placing huge pressure on the service."
During Prime Minister's Questions earlier, Mr Corbyn said the prime minister "seems to be in some degree of denial", saying she "won't listen to professionals".
He added that Mrs May's "shared society" vision, outlined in a speech earlier this week, could mean "more people sharing hospital corridors on trolleys".
But Mrs May said there was always greater pressure during the winter, with the UK's ageing population and "growing complex needs" creating extra strain.
She said claims from the Red Cross of a "humanitarian crisis" in the NHS were "irresponsible and overblown" - the only way the NHS could be funded was with a strong economy. "The last thing the NHS needs is a cheque from Labour that bounces," she added.
She agreed to meet a cross-party group of MPs calling for politicians to put aside differences and draw up an NHS "convention" to secure its long-term future.
The latest calls for government action come a day after documents leaked to the BBC showed record numbers of patients were facing long waits in A&Es in England. Nearly a quarter of patients waited longer than four hours in emergency wards last week, with just one hospital hitting its target, according to the data.
Since the start of December, hospitals have seen only 82.3% of patients who attended A&E within four hours - the worst performance since the target was introduced in 2004.
Janet Davies, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said she had heard from front-line nurses who wanted to give the best care they could to their patients but were told to discharge them before they were fit just to free up beds.
And the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) called for urgent investment to help "over-full hospitals with too few qualified staff".
RCP president Prof Jane Dacre said: "Our members tell me it is the worst it has ever been in terms of patients coming in during a 24-hour period and numbers of patients coming in when there are no beds to put them in."
Mark Porter, chairman of the British Medical Association's council, accused the government of "wilfully ignoring the scale of the crisis in our NHS". He added: "Trying to play down the pressure that services are under shows the prime minister is out of touch with patients and front-line staff who are working flat out under impossible circumstances."
But a Department of Health spokesman said the NHS in England had 3,100 more nurses and 1,600 more doctors than a year ago. "We're also joining up health and social care for the first time," he added, "and investing £10bn to fund the NHS's own plan to transform services and relieve pressure on hospitals."
And, in a separate debate in the Commons, Liberal Democrat former Health Minister Norman Lamb asked Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt: "Is it conceivable that some of the people who are currently within the A&E target will at some stage fall outside the A&E target in the future?"
Mr Hunt replied: "I am committed to people using A&Es falling within the four-hour target.
"But I also think we need to be much more effective at diverting people who don't need to go to A&Es to other places, as is happening in Wales, as is happening in Scotland, and as frankly is the only sensible thing."
The ban covers all outlets including restaurants and hotels.
The poisonings have been blamed on bootleg vodka and rum tainted with the industrial chemical methanol and sold cheaply at markets and outdoor kiosks.
Czech police have arrested 10 people and seized 5,000 litres of spirits, as well as counterfeit labels.
Health Minister Leos Heger said the unprecedented ban was effective immediately and applied nationwide.
"Operators of food and beverage businesses... are banned from offering for sale (and) selling... liquor containing alcohol of 20% and more," he announced on national television.
The deaths - which began to emerge earlier this month - have been described as the Czech Republic's worst case of fatal alcohol poisoning in 30 years.
The BBC's Rob Cameron in Prague says that with the number of reported deaths slowing, attention is focusing on saving those who survived drinking the tainted alcohol and finding those who bottled it in the first place.
Detectives have suggested they are dealing with well-organised bootleggers, although the people at the very top of the organisation have so far eluded capture.
Meanwhile, about 30 people are being treated in hospital for methanol poisoning.
Some of those taken to hospital have gone blind and others have been put into artificial comas by doctors.
Norway has donated an antidote called fomepizole and several cases of the solution were taken to Prague by Dr Knut Erik Hovda, a toxins expert from the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Centre in Oslo.
He told the BBC that if victims are admitted early enough to hospital their chances of survival are good.
The battle fought near the coast of Denmark during 31 May and 1 June 1916, involved about 250 ships.

"He is a young, very energetic and I just felt we needed a bit of strengthening down the left side."

Ahmet Davutoglu said Russia's campaign had targeted Turkmen and Sunni communities around the Latakia region.
Relations between Ankara and Moscow have plummeted since Turkey shot down a Russian warplane on the Syrian border.
President Vladimir Putin has asked UK specialists to help analyse the flight recorder in a phone conversation with PM David Cameron, the Kremlin says.
Turkey insists that its F-16 fighters shot down the Russian Su-24 on 24 November because the bomber had trespassed into its airspace. Russia denies this.
"Russia is trying to make ethnic cleansing in the northern Latakia [region] to force [out] all Turkmen and Sunni populations who do not have good relations with the [Syrian] regime," Mr Davutoglu told reporters in Istanbul on Wednesday.
He said Russian air strikes were "strengthening" the so-called Islamic State (IS) group in Syria.
Russia says its bombers are attacking IS and other jihadist groups in Syria, helping the government forces of President Bashar al-Assad.
However, Western analysts and Syrian rebel sources say most of the Russian bombing has targeted anti-Assad groups who are not jihadists.
Appearing on television with the orange metal box from the Su-24, President Putin said the recorder it contained would help prove the Russian jet's flight path and position.
"Whatever we learn won't change our attitude to what the Turkish authorities did," he said.
"We used to treat Turkey not only as our friend but also as an ally in the fight against terrorism. Nobody expected this low, treacherous stab in the back."
In a statement on Wednesday, the Kremlin said Mr Putin had discussed the conflict in Syria with Mr Cameron.
It said the two leaders had talked of ways to cooperate in the fight against IS militants and other terrorist groups.
The UK joined the US-led air strikes against IS in Syria last week.
The Kremlin statement said that Mr Cameron had "expressed his condolences over the destruction of Russia's fighter plane in Syria".
"Mr Putin invited British specialists to take part in decoding the data from the downed Su-24 plane's flight recorders," it added.
Russia has announced wide-ranging sanctions against Turkey - a Nato member - because of the border clash, including an import ban on Turkish fruit, vegetables and some other foods.
Russians can no longer go on package holidays to Turkey - until this month the top foreign destination for Russian tourists.
The former first minister said moves by the UK government to "sever" Scotland's links with Europe would see previously sceptical voters switch sides.
His comments come as the Scottish government prepares to publish its post-Brexit plans.
Opponents accused Mr Salmond of "sabre-rattling".
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme, the MP for Gordon said Nicola Sturgeon would have no "compunction" about holding another poll.
He said: "The last time, when I was first minister and embarked on this process, support for independence was 28% and after two years in 2012 we ended up at 45%. So I don't think Nicola Sturgeon would have any compunction about calling an independence referendum with support in the mid 40s.
"What it depends upon is the arguments, and in a situation where the United Kingdom government was determined, despite being given every opportunity, to sever Scotland's European links, to sever our ties - a thousand-year-old European nation - then I think that would bring many people who were previously sceptical about independence on to the 'Yes' side."
He denied that voter appetite for another vote on the issue had diminished since the last poll in 2014.
"I think there's a lot of people with an open mind about Scottish independence", he said.
"Certainly there are people who are passionately in favour, there are people who are strongly against, but there are still lots of folk in Scotland who regard Scotland's prosperity - securing Scotland's position as a European nation, the rights of Scottish workers, the equal treatment of our fellow Europeans, access to the single market place, as a member as key priorities - which, if they could only be maintained and claimed by independence, could be persuaded to vote in that direction, with careful argument and all the powers of persuasion that Nicola Sturgeon has over the next two years."
Asked by interviewer Gordon Brewer: "And you think you would win?" Mr Salmond replied: "Yes I do".
The Scottish Conservatives' constitution spokesman, Adam Tomkins said the comments showed the SNP was only operating in its own political interests.
He said: "Scots don't want to go through another divisive independence referendum but Alex Salmond today repeated the SNP's threat to press ahead regardless.
"As we begin negotiations to leave the EU, we need a Scottish government that ends the sabre-rattling, and focuses instead on the national interest, not its own political interest.
"As she publishes her paper this week, it is vital that Nicola Sturgeon shows she is prepared to be a first minister for Scotland, not a first minister for the SNP."
Scottish Labour's Europe spokesman, Lewis Macdonald said: "Alex Salmond gave the game away when he made it clear that the Nationalists are only really interested in finding an excuse to impose another referendum on the people of Scotland.
"The UK is Scotland's most important single market. The SNP's own figures confirm that remaining part of the UK single market is more important for Scotland's economy than even being in the EU.
"It's time for the SNP to accept that remaining in the UK is even more important to Scotland than being part of the European Union."
The Scottish government published draft legislation for a second independence referendum in October.
It followed Nicola Sturgeon's assertion that a new referendum was "highly likely" after the UK's vote to leave the EU in June. Scotland voted by 62% to 38% to remain in the EU.
Voters in Scotland rejected independence by 55% to 45% in the last referendum, held on 18 September 2014.
It was first spotted on Monday near Bermagui, protected by its mother, but bad weather prevented its rescue.
Teams used knives on hooks to cut through more than 150m of rope.
Ian Kerr, who led the operation, said the chances of the calf surviving had now "improved greatly".
"If the material had not been removed the chances of this whale surviving would not have been good," he said.
The crew attached buoys to the rope to slow the whale down and tire it, making it safer to rescue. They then pulled up alongside in small boats to cut or dislodge the ropes late on Tuesday.
It was the first operation of its kind this season for the NPWS.
"Increasing whale numbers and human use of the oceans mean there is a greater chance whales can be entangled in fishing gear, nets or ropes during their migration up and down the coast," Mr Kerr said.
He said it was "very satisfying" to see the calf continue its migration south with its mother.
Those behind the idea from Cardiff University are hoping it can become a permanent feature.
Creative industries employ more than 50,000 people in Wales, a third of them self-employed.
Although it is worth just over 5% of the Welsh economy, the sector has been one of the fastest growing over the last decade.
It also has the highest weekly earnings in Wales, according to latest official figures.
Under its Creative Cardiff banner, the university is making a daily video of what happens at the hub.
Music and video production, along with writing, software and the performing arts may jump to mind when people think about the creative industries but there is more to it than that.
Jo Bollwell from Wentwood in Monmouthshire is a jewellery designer who makes her products by hand.
She was a bit concerned that her sawing and banging of metals might disrupt those in the hub around her who are tapping away on laptops.
But the point of places like these is that people with different skills can learn from each other, making contacts and have access to experts.
"There's very little interaction with people when you're working at home and selling on the internet," said Ms Bollwell.
"It's lovely to work with people around you. You're swapping ideas - I've been working next to a computer wizard, we've had a fabulous talk from an architect, I've loved it, it's a lovely energy."
Hubs can also be spaces where people can learn more about funding.
But there are concerns that when people come together and share ideas it can lead to problems with who owns the finished product.
That has led other hubs, such as the Life Sciences hub in Cardiff, to find space for lawyers offering advice on protecting your intellectual property.
Fashion designer Kath Grimmit, from Penarth, said she has been struggling to find a space like the pop up hub where she can work with a mix of creative people.
She set up her own business, The Power Of Greyskull, after being made redundant.
Ms Grimmit is currently working on dance leotards for a company in Swansea.
"I've been looking for a really long time for a creative space that will embrace the versatility of making clothing," she said.
"We're not quiet, we have a lot of machinery but we always look to be in a creative space. Finding it in Cardiff has been really difficult.
"I've managed to find a space for myself but I'm on my own with my team and so it doesn't really get the creative juices flowing but working with Creative Cardiff and others to create that environment is fantastic.
"In just over two days, from the people I've met, it's amazing how many collaborations we've started talking about, people who might be useful to you and vice versa; it's been really inspiring.
"It's that sort of daily environment you need to help grow your business and keep you passionate. If this was permanent I'd be here as quick as I could."
That is something Cardiff University is hopeful will happen after the trial.
Sara Pepper, director of Creative Economy at Cardiff University, said creative people were already meeting informally in cafes but the demand for space was only going to get greater.
"The idea of bringing people together has come out in the research time and time again, sharing knowledge and skills and also to innovate, to develop their practice," she said.
"The ambition has always been to have more permanent space, that's not an easy challenge in a city that is growing as fast as Cardiff but we're really keen we find the right space."
British number one Murray, 28, who received a bye in the first round, will next face Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut or Frenchman Jeremy Chardy in Rome.
Johanna Konta also made it through with a 6-0 6-4 win over Roberta Vinci. The 24-year-old British number one will next play Lucie Safarova or Misaki Doi.
Fellow Briton Heather Watson was beaten 6-4 6-2 by Czech Barbora Strycova.
Konta restricted Italian Vinci to seven points as she won the first set in 23 minutes, before taking the break needed in the second to knock out the seventh seed.
"I definitely came out with good momentum and I really tried to capitalise on that, really take my game to her," said Konta.
"It was inevitable for her to raise her level, she's top 10 and a Grand Slam finalist for a reason.
"I was just really happy I was able to stay tough when I needed to and stick it out with a game plan, and being able to serve it out in the end is always a good feeling."
Assistant coach Jamie Delgado and Great Britain Davis Cup captain Leon Smith were in Murray's box for the world number three's first match since splitting from coach Amelie Mauresmo this week.
The French Open begins on 22 May and Murray is keen not to wait too long to appoint a replacement.
He told BBC Sport: "I'll definitely do that when I'm finished here, just to get an idea and get things moving forward because, if not, we get into the French Open, it's another couple of weeks and four or five weeks go past quick.
"Then you're into the grass-court season and that's obviously a pretty important and fairly stressful time of year too, so I'll try and make some progress with that in the next week or two."
British number two Watson, 23, won the opening four games but lost 12 of the next 14 against world number 37 Strycova, saying the defeat was "tough to take".
"I was playing super well, then my opponent stepped up her game, I dropped mine a little and it turned the match completely," added the world number 55.
"That happens sometimes. It happens more often on clay than other surface. It was a big opportunity for me today and I'll have to learn from this one."
Coastguards were alerted on Sunday afternoon by a dive vessel off Swanage, reporting only two out of three divers had resurfaced.
The major air and sea search of more than 10 square nautical miles was suspended at 23:00 BST on Sunday.
Dorset Police confirmed the missing man was in his mid-50s, from Taunton, Somerset.
Yachts involved in a race passing through the area also reported no sightings.
Coastguard commander Tristam Newey said: "This hasn't been an easy decision to make. This man is still missing and we appreciate the concern and worry this is causing his family and friends.
"This morning, in the absence of any further information, we have decided not to resume the search."
The coastguard said it received the call from the vessel Emma J at 16:40 BST.
Three divers had been exploring a wreck six miles south of Swanage, about 40 metres below the surface.
About 50,000 music fans are attending the annual festival at Robin Hill Country Park, with a theme of "Summer of Love".
Headliners at this year's event include Duran Duran, The Chemical Brothers and Missy Elliott.
The festival is also marking the 20th anniversary of organiser Rob da Bank's Sunday Best club, from which Bestival eventually developed.
Pop legends Duran Duran topped Friday's billing in front of a sell-out crowd on the day their 14th studio album, Paper Gods, was released.
Known for its eccentric events, attractions at this year's Bestival include a fake wedding ceremony hosted in an inflatable chapel, which couples pay £45 to take part in.
Simeon, the church's appointed choirboy, said: "There comes a time in your life when you feel you need to share your love in a giant rubber church.
"We dress people up in whatever they want to wear, get the congregation in, get the DJ playing and everyone goes nuts."
The incident happened at about 17:00 on Monday at the Fernieside Newsagents in Fernieside Crescent.
The men stole a four-figure sum of cash and a large quantity of cigarettes.
A 41-year-old worker was treated at the scene. The first suspect is white, about 19 years old, 5ft 8ins tall and of stocky/heavy build.
He was wearing a dark hooded top, dark grey joggers, maroon skate shoes with a white trim and a dark tartan scarf covering his face.
The second is white, about 19-years-old, 5ft 10ins tall and of slim build. He was wearing dark clothing, and also had his face obscured by a dark garment.
The third suspect is white and was wearing dark clothing with white trainers.
Det Con Jonny Wright, of Police Scotland, said: "Not only was this an extremely frightening ordeal for the shopkeeper, he was also assaulted and robbed of a considerable amount of stock and cash.
"We are pursuing various lines of inquiry to identify these men but would ask anyone who recognises their description to contact police immediately.
"In addition, anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious around the store on Monday evening, or who has any other information relevant to this investigation should also get in touch."
The High Court judge said the records were the property of the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry.
His verdict came in a legal challenge by a woman who claims she was subjected to physical and psychological abuse.
The abuse was alleged to have taken place at Nazareth House care home in Belfast between 1971-1976.
The woman made a statement to the inquiry's confidential acknowledgment forum but was denied a transcript or recording of her account.
Her request was refused on the basis of preserving the confidentiality of the work being undertaken.
The woman brought a judicial review challenge to the decision, claiming she had a right to a copy of the record of her evidence to the forum.
However, the judge found there was no authority for her contention.
According to the judge, there was no unfairness in the inquiry chairman determining that such evidence should just be released to its inquiry legal team, and only then in respect of those individuals who wished to engage with the inquiry.
Dismissing the judicial review, he ruled that no arguable public law grounds had been established against the chairman's decision.
The judge also noted that the inquiry has received requests from different solicitors seeking the record of the proceedings before the acknowledgement forum.
He said it should be made clear that this confidential procedure was not intended as an evidence-gathering forum for claimants and their lawyers who wish to purpose civil claims on their behalf. | Police searching for a Dutch tourist who has been missing for more than a week have found a man's body.

Public transport company Translink NI Railways said the majority of the prosecutions were against drivers.
It said cases had been brought against motorists for ignoring warning signals or driving through level crossings as trains approached.
The convictions cost offenders more than £14,000, it said.
In total, 74 people were prosecuted.
One of the incidents reported by Translink staff was a group of youths playing football on the tracks near Ballymoney station in County Antrim.
Other incidents included pedestrians trespassing, hanging from barriers and running across tracks shortly before trains, travelling at speeds of up to 70mph, passed.
Richard Knox of Translink said the company was working "more closely than ever" with police to identify "risk-takers" on railway lines.
"We now have CCTV at the majority of our crossings and we will continue to prosecute offenders who take risks and put themselves, our employees and passengers at risk," he added.

However former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was barred from standing by a government-controlled vetting body, as was his close ally Hamid Baghaie.
A final list of candidates for the 19 May poll will be announced on 27 April.
More than 1,600 candidates sought to stand, but only about six are selected by the Guardian Council.
The nominations of Mr Rouhani and Mr Raisi will lead to a showdown between bitterly divided political camps.
Iran nuclear deal: Key details
Mr Rouhani was elected by a landslide in 2013, on a platform of ending the country's diplomatic isolation and creating a freer society.
Two years later his government and six other countries reached a landmark deal, in which Iran agreed to curb its sensitive nuclear activities in return for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Mr Raisi is a seyed, meaning he traces his genealogy back to the Prophet Muhammad. He has a reputation for his uncompromising stance on key issues and is rumoured to be supported by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Mr Ahmadinejad, a hardliner who served two terms as president between 2005 and 2013, caused widespread shock when he registered as a candidate last week in defiance of Mr Khamenei's advice.
Last year the Supreme Leader warned Mr Ahmadinejad that such a move was "not in his interest and that of the country".
Mr Khamenei appoints about half of the Guardian Council.
Mr Rouhani and Mr Raisi are expected to focus their campaigns on the state of the economy as well as the nuclear deal, which has been hailed by the president as his most significant success over the four years he has been in office.
Other candidates given the go-ahead to compete in the vote are Mostafa Mirsalim, Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Mostafa Hashemitaba and Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri.
As the results began to come in from across the continent, he considered whether the increase in the number of Eurosceptic MEPs would change the way the European Parliament would work in the future.
"Whether that makes a big difference in European politics remains to be seen, but it's going to make a very big difference in domestic politics, particularly in the member states predominately in the north of Europe."
By European politics he meant Brussels, the parliament, and there's good reason to assume he is right on that score.
Despite the huge gains for anti-EU parties and those that wish to reduce the power of the EU, it's unlikely that the parliament will adopt a fundamentally different approach.
The main centre-right and left groupings still hold the majority of seats between them. Add in the Liberals and the Greens, and the parliament is overwhelmingly pro-EU.
The leading candidate for the EPP, the centre-right bloc which won this election, has said he wants to form a grand coalition with the centre-left S&D. That's to be expected.
The parliament is less confrontational than national elected bodies. The groups have to - and do - work together to pass complex legislation. There will be many moments in the coming five years when these four groups compromise with one another.
Then there's the fact that the anti-EU, anti-euro, anti-immigration parties who won last night are a disparate group.
Greece's left-wing Syriza will not find much common ground with France's right-wing National Front (FN). There is no anti-EU blocking minority to slow down business in the parliament. In the hugely important committees yes, perhaps, but not the plenary.
In that sense, if the main groups in the parliament choose to ignore those who didn't vote for them last night, they can.
National politicians however, can't afford to ignore them. That's where this election is likely to really shake things up.
In two of the three big national players in the EU, France and Britain, domestic politics is being shaped by the right wing, and especially the anti-immigration voices. Brussels has had to deal with an awkward UK for years on subjects like this. Not so with France, which has always spiritually been at the heart of the project.
But even before the votes had been cast, France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy - who many assume fancies a return to office - questioned some of the fundamentals of the union, saying the passport-free Schengen zone should be suspended, and that the EU should be stripped of some powers.
In Germany, the EU's biggest player, Chancellor Angela Merkel doesn't face anything like the same political pressure from anti-EU parties. Still, even in Berlin, they will be digesting the news that a sizeable part of the electorate voted for a new anti-euro party.
In smaller countries there are similar forces that will require the mainstream to take a good look at what voters are saying about their country's place in the EU. In each there are different forces at play, but in Denmark, Spain, Greece and elsewhere large parts of the electorate are asking for a rethink on their relationship with Brussels.
This will have an impact not just on domestic politics, but on the national leaders when they meet in Brussels at the European Council - where their job is to shape the direction of the EU.
Will that change the direction? Too early to say, but last night Nigel Farage concluded that "up until now European integration always seemed to be inevitable."
"I think that inevitability ended tonight."

The president of the IAAF, athletics' governing body, told a select committee in December 2015 he was "not aware" of specific allegations of corruption around the Russian doping scandal.
But the email from Lord Coe to the IAAF's ethics commission in August 2014 states: "I have now been made aware of the allegations."
In 2015, Lord Coe told Parliament: "I was certainly not aware of the specific allegations that had been made around the corruption of anti-doping processes in Russia."
Lord Coe denies there is any discrepancy between his evidence and what the emails say he knew.
MPs had wanted the IAAF [International Association of Athletics Federations] president to return to the committee after former athlete David Bedford's testimony to the Culture, Media and Sport select committee inquiry into doping in sport appeared to contradict Lord Coe's.
The president has so far declined to return to the committee, but agreed to two requests from MPs to release missing correspondence between him and Michael Beloff, chair of the IAAF ethics commission.
The emails, published on Tuesday by the committee, cast fresh light on the issue of what Lord Coe knew - and when - about the burgeoning Russian corruption and doping scandal which has blighted world athletics.
Committee chairman Damian Collins told the BBC: "Whatever excuse he gives, it is clear that Lord Coe decided not to share with the committee information that was relevant to our inquiry on doping in sport.
"The committee asked him about his knowledge of doping in Russian athletics and of corruption within the sport. In his answers, he gave the impression that he was unaware of specific allegations.
"Thanks to evidence that was presented by the BBC Panorama programme last year, and by David Bedford to the committee this January, we can see that he was aware, at least in general terms, of the allegations that had been brought forward by the Russian athlete Liliya Shobukhova."
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP, shadow minister for sport, said: "These are very troubling allegations. The release of these emails by the select committee casts serious doubts over the evidence previously given by Lord Coe to the inquiry.
"World Athletics is going through one of the most serious doping scandals in its history and requires the strongest possible leadership. Lord Coe must immediately come back to the select committee and clarify his evidence in light of this new information.
"He must be honest about which allegations he knew of and when he found out about them. The IAAF and BOA [British Olympic Association] need transparency and honesty throughout their organisations now more than ever, and that has to start at the very top."

Last June the BBC's Panorama programme and the Daily Mail alleged Lord Coe - then an IAAF vice-president - had been alerted to the scandal months before it was revealed by the German journalist Hajo Seppelt in December 2014.
The programme revealed Lord Coe had been sent an email by Bedford, the former world 10,000m record holder, containing several attachments detailing allegations from Russian marathon champion Shobukhova that she had paid almost half a million euros to cover up positive doping tests after being blackmailed by senior IAAF officials.
Collins told Panorama it appeared Lord Coe had "deliberately misled" them.
Lord Coe told the programme he hadn't opened the attachments and had simply forwarded the email on to the IAAF's Ethics Committee, and that since he did not open the attachments, he had not been aware of the detail of the corruption allegations and therefore had not misled Parliament.
His spokeswoman told the BBC his failure to open the attachments had been nothing more than a "lack of curiosity".
In his evidence to the select committee in December, Bedford said he was "surprised and disappointed" that Lord Coe, who became president of the IAAF in August 2015, said he had not opened the attachments.
However, fresh questions have emerged for Lord Coe following his disclosure to the committee of the full email chain between him and Mr Beloff.
The email, from Lord Coe to Mr Beloff, is dated August 2014 and reads: "I have in the last couple of days received copied documentation of serious allegations being made by and on behalf of the Russian female athlete Shobukhova from David Bedford.
"I have spoken to David today on the phone and he advises me that he has shared this information with you. Should I forward this documentation to you?
"The purpose of this note is of course to advise you that I have now been made aware of the allegations... but would be grateful for your advice."
In a detailed four-page letter to the select committee, which accompanies the disclosure of the emails, Lord Coe says there is "no discrepancy".
He said he was not asked specifically by MPs about when he first heard of the corruption of doping cases.
He said he was on holiday abroad when he received a call from Mr Bedford asking if he was aware of the Shobukhova allegations, and on answering "no", Mr Bedford agreed to send them without going into the detail of what the allegations were.
Lord Coe says he then dictated the 14 August email to an assistant.
The letter to the committee reads: "David had thought the allegations were serious enough to send information about them first to the ethics commission and then to me, and I knew I therefore had a duty to inform the ethics commission that I was aware of allegations having being made, and I wanted to ensure that Michael [Beloff] had all the information David [Bedford] had sent to me."
Mr Beloff responded on 16 August 2014 that he already had the information.
Lord Coe wrote: "Having received these responses from Michael [Beloff] I was satisfied that I had done what I was required to do under the code of ethics.
"I have made clear I did not read David Bedford's emailed documents but asked my office to forward them to the person and the commission with exclusive authority to investigate.
"I trust this clarifies the matter to the satisfaction of the committee, and as such there are no grounds for suggesting that I misled the committee in any way."
Questions remain as to why Lord Coe, if he was unaware of the detail of the allegations, would state to Beloff he had "now been made aware of the serious allegations being made by, and on behalf of the Russian female athlete Shobukhova".
Collins told the BBC: "It was not possible to know this, without some knowledge of the attachments contained in the email, as all David Bedford's email to Lord Coe said was that the documents he was sending to him related to 'an issue that is being investigated by the IAAF ethics commission'.
"However, if it is true that Lord Coe was somehow unaware of the details of the complaint that had been made by Shobukhova, it is regrettable that neither he nor his team could find the time to read the 1,700 word summary of the allegations that was sent to him by David Bedford.
"This episode adds further weight to the concern that senior figures within athletics could have done more to make themselves fully aware of serious allegations of corruption and doping within their sport, and then acted on that information to make sure that it was being properly investigated."
Lord Coe, as a member of the House of Lords, cannot be compelled to give evidence to a select committee, unlike members of the public, but it is likely that the committee will take a dim view of Lord Coe's refusal to return when writing up their final report on doping in sport, which is expected to be published within weeks.
The BBC Panorama programme also revealed claims Lord Coe had been helped to the presidency of the IAAF by Papa Massata Diack, at a time when Diack was under investigation for serious corruption.
Diack, who is the son of the disgraced former president of the IAAF Lamine Diack, is now banned for life from athletics, is wanted by Interpol and remains in hiding in Senegal. Lord Coe denied anything inappropriate occurred during his election campaign.
Geologists say the Daan River, which floods regularly and violently, will wipe the gorge off the map in 50 years.
Massive earthquakes shake this region every 300-400 years, but these results explain why so little evidence remains of previous tremors, making predictions and mapping of fault lines difficult.
The find also allows researchers to witness gorge erosion in fast-forward.
The study is published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
"The really cool thing about this place is that it's happening so fast, we can watch it," said Dr Kristen Cook, a geologist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam.
"We can see processes that you can't reconstruct."
At the time of the 1999 Jiji earthquake, a 10m high rock table was pushed upward, creating a 1km-long dam across the Daan River valley in Taiwan's western foothills.
"The amount of uplift was huge," Dr Cook told the BBC. "Imagine one side of your house going up by 10m - it's a big change."
And yet nowhere in the valley is there any evidence for previous upheaval of this kind.
"If you were trying to look in the topography for where this sort of thing might happen, you wouldn't see anything," explained Dr Cook.
Now that she and her colleagues have observed the ferocity of the river's attack on the rocks, Dr Cook is not surprised. "The river can really efficiently remove all of the evidence," she said.
Beginning in 2004, the river overcame the natural dam and material dragged along the river bed cut a brand new gorge which was 1,200m long and 20m deep by 2008.
The formation is known in Chinese as the Grand Canyon of the Daan River, and Dr Cook said it shows similarity to its mighty US namesake in Arizona.
"That's one of the exciting things - we expect the process to be the same, but sped up."
Dr Cook visited the valley some 51 times while she was working at National Taiwan University from 2009 to 2013, recording detailed GPS measurements every month or two as well as time-lapse photography. Twice each year, she also measured the shape of the whole canyon at 2cm resolution using a laser scanner.
"That takes about a day - you have to set up the scanner in a bunch of different places," Dr Cook said. "You end up with something like 100 million data points."
All these measurements reveal some of the fastest erosion geologists have ever seen: the gorge is being eaten away from its upstream end at a rate of 17m per year.
The breakneck pace is a result of both the relative softness of the rocks, and the regular flooding brought by typhoons.
Furthermore, Dr Cook and her colleagues have identified an entirely new mechanism of canyon erosion, which they call "downstream sweep". It arises because the wide river floodplain suddenly funnels into the gorge, producing sharp bends in the current that grind away the rocks at the canyon's upstream end.

Cellebrite was in the headlines earlier this year when it was rumoured to have helped the FBI to crack an iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter.
Now the company has told the BBC that it can get through the defences of just about any modern smartphone. But the firm refuses to say whether it supplies its technology to the police forces of repressive regimes.
Last week Cellebrite was showing off its technology to British customers. I was invited to a hotel in the Midlands, where police officers from across the UK had come to see equipment and software that first extracts data from suspects' phones, then analyses how they interact with others.
I was given a demo using a Samsung phone supplied by the company. It was running quite an old version of Android - 4.2 - but I was allowed to take it away for half an hour, put a password on it, and use it to take photos and send a text message.
When we returned, Yuval Ben-Moshe from Cellebrite took the phone and simply plugged it in via the charging socket to what looked like a chunky tablet computer. He explained that this was the kind of mobile unit the firm supplied to police forces for data extraction in the field.
He pressed a couple of buttons on the screen and then announced that the phone's lock code had been disabled.
"We can pretty much pull up any of the data that resides on the phone," he said.
He then downloaded the photos I'd taken and the message I'd sent on to a USB stick - the evidence of my activities could now be in the hands of the police.
It was impressive, not to say slightly concerning, that the security on the phone had been so easily bypassed - although this was not a particularly advanced phone, nor had I used services such as WhatsApp, which provide added levels of security.
But Mr Ben-Moshe claimed that his firm could access data on "the largest number of devices that are out there in the industry".
Even Apple's new iPhone 7?
"We can definitely extract data from an iPhone 7 as well - the question is what data."
He said that Cellebrite had the biggest research and development team in the sector, constantly working to catch up with the new technology.
He was cagey about how much data could be extracted from services such as WhatsApp - "It's not a black/white yes/no answer" - but indicated that criminals might be fooling themselves if they thought any form of mobile communication was totally secure.
Back in the spring, there were reports that Cellebrite had helped the FBI get into the iPhone 5C left behind by the San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook.
Unsurprisingly, Mr Ben-Moshe had nothing to say on this matter: "We cannot comment on any of our customers."
And on the matter of how fussy Cellebrite was about the customers for equipment that is used by law enforcement agencies around the world, he was also tight-lipped.
When I asked whether the company worked with oppressive governments he said: "I don't know the answer to that and I'm in no position to comment on that." And when I pressed him, he would say only that Cellebrite operated under international law and under the law of every jurisdiction where it worked.
Mobile phone companies are making great advances in providing secure devices - and law enforcement agencies in the UK and the US are complaining that this is helping criminals and terrorists evade detection.
But last month another Israeli firm NSO Group, which also works for law enforcement and intelligence agencies, was reported to be behind a hack that allowed any iPhone to be easily "jailbroken" and have malware installed.
It seems the technology battle between the phone makers and those trying to penetrate their devices - for good reasons or bad - is a more even fight than we may have imagined.
Lincolnshire county councillor Ian Fleetwood is under investigation for giving taxpayers' cash to the Hawthorne Action Group.
The organisation opposes plans to close Hawthorne Road as part of the Lincoln Eastern Bypass project.
Mr Fleetwood said he took advice before giving the money to two parish councils which passed it on to the group.
The complaint was made by rival campaigners Lincolnshire Bypass Action Group which supports the council's plans for a bypass.
It said Mr Fleetwood breached the code of conduct by giving the money from his Big Society Fund to Reepham and Cherry Willingham parish councils' "fighting fund".
Under council rules, the money should not be used to fund groups opposed to council policy.
Hawthorne Action Group is not opposed to a bypass but believes Hawthorne Road should remain open.
Mr Fleetwood declined to comment other than to say he took advice before giving the money.
Richard Wills, monitoring officer at Lincolnshire County Council, said complaints were investigated and, if the investigator considers there is evidence of a breach, a panel is convened.
"The council does not comment on individual cases but can confirm that a hearing panel is being convened to consider a case that resulted from a complaint by members of the public," he said.
Xin Xin delivered the two male cubs on Sunday afternoon at the Giant Panda Pavilion in Coloane, said officials.
She and the larger cub were in good health, but the smaller cub was underweight and was taken into intensive care.
Xin Xin and her mate Kai Kai were a gift from the mainland and arrived in Macau last year.
They mated naturally, a government spokeswoman told BBC News, but Xin Xin was also artificially inseminated with sperm from Kai Kai.
The larger cub, weighing 138g (0.3 lb), was born at 15:45 local time (08:45 GMT). The smaller cub, weighing just 53.8g, was born at 16:27 local time.
The panda pavilion has been closed since 14 June to prepare for the delivery.

The 26-year-old has now won all six of her professional fights to date courtesy of the victory in Ebbw Vale.
She stopped Hungarian Vlajk in the ninth round to take the vacant title in her home town.
Brace beat the 37-year-old by TKO in the penultimate round, her third knockout win of her professional career.
Police have carried out searches at 22 addresses and made 12 arrests.
Searches have taken place in Belfast, Greenisland, Bangor, Newtownards and Ballywalter.
Two men aged 23 and 30 were detained during the search of a house in Donegall Pass, south Belfast, on Friday.
Det Insp Andy Dunlop, from the Organised Crime Branch, said: "Five people have been remanded in custody, two were released on bail pending a report to the PPS and three others are due to appear in court tomorrow (Saturday)."
The PSNI is working with the National Crime Agency and Italian Carabinieri as part of the operation.
Clodagh Hartley is accused of paying Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) official Jonathan Hall around £17,000 for tip-offs over three years.
One involved a tip that allowed the paper to run a story on Alistair Darling's Budget in 2010 before he delivered it, prosecutors claimed.
Miss Hartley denies all charges.
Prosecutor Zoe Johnson QC said: "As you would expect, the details of the Budget are a closely-guarded secret.
"You would expect the details would be announced to Parliament and not broadcast in advance in the newspapers and certainly not for money, for personal gain."
She said a financial trail revealed Mr Hall was paid £750 for the story at the request of Miss Hartley.
Prosecutors said Mr Hall gave Miss Hartley, the Sun's Whitehall editor, information that led to the double-page story that was printed before Mr Darling stood to deliver the Budget.
Prosecutors also said Mr Hall was paid £500 for another story about celebrities being paid to publicise a government website.
The court was told more than £4,000 was paid to Mr Hall by News International between April 2008 and May 2010.
More than £13,000 was also transferred to his girlfriend Marta Bukarewicz's account between June 2010 and July 2011 after Miss Hartley suggested it would "cover his tracks", the court heard.
Ms Bukarewicz kept £845 for her role and transferred the rest to Mr Hall, the court was told.
The jury was told Mr Hall accepts he supplied Miss Hartley with stories for which he was paid.
The prosecutor also told jurors: "This is not a trial involving whistle-blowing in a noble cause.
"It is a case in which Mr Hall, the HMRC press officer, was motivated by greed and Miss Hartley, the journalist, was motivated by acquiring the next big scoop or exclusive.
"Many of you will have sympathy for journalists who expose mismanagement and inefficiency in government departments but that is not what this case is about."
Ms Bukarewicz and Miss Hartley both deny conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office.
About 70 mourners gathered at Mexborough Cemetery in Doncaster for the funeral of 92-year-old Royal Navy veteran Douglas Barratt on Wednesday, but were locked out for 40 minutes.
The digger, used for graves, then forced open the doors of the chapel.
A Doncaster Council spokesman said they were "very sorry" for what happened.
Mr Barratt's family said he died on 15 December, with members of the British Legion coming from "all over" to attend his service but were left stood in the cold and "chilled to the bone".
Arrangements had been made for someone to come an hour before the funeral to open the building and put the heating on, but no-one arrived.
Mr Barratt's son-in-law said the door was "pushed and shoved" by several people but it wouldn't open.
Stuart Venables, from Mexborough, said: "Eventually the decision was made to bring in a small JCB which was used for digging the grave to try and ease the door open.
"It didn't take long, just one push and the doors opened. A rousing cheer went up and we took Doug into the chapel."
Mr Venables said attendees thought it was "very disrespectful", but added they also thought it would be a "funeral to be remembered for years".
Dave Wilkinson, from the council, said: "We are very sorry for what has happened and will be making contact with the family to apologise in person.
"We are looking into this and will be learning lessons so this does not happen again."
A new lock has since been installed on the chapel doors.
Mr Venables added: "If Doug had been stood outside, he would have been splitting his sides with laughter."
The Londoners were announced as winners of best song and gave a speech before organisers revealed the prize should have gone to MC Abra Cadabra.
"Of the many worthy winners of best song, we deeply regret a mistake was made," said Mobo organisers, in a statement blaming a "production error."
Craig David, Drake, Kano and Lady Leshurr won the night's main prizes.
David was named best male, capping a year in which he has returned from the pop wilderness with a number one album, Following My Intuition.
Drake, whose single One Dance was at number one for 14 weeks earlier this year, was named best international act.
And the winner is... When announcements go wrong
While Birmingham MC Lady Leshurr, who learned to make music in her local youth club, took home best female act.
The 27-year-old is perhaps less well-known than her fellow winners, but is poised for big things after a series of freestyle raps, called The Queen's Speech, went viral online.
She is currently recording her debut album with US mega-producer Timbaland.
"This is like a dream come true," said the rapper. "I've been watching the Mobos since ages ago, basically. To be here behind this stand... I'm shaking."
Craig David's win came 16 years after he picked up the Mobo for best newcomer.
"What a time to be alive. 2016 feels good," he said as he picked up his trophy from singer Katy B. "Thanks to everyone who's been rolling with me since 1999.
"Can I say a huge thank you to the Mobos for supporting me since day one?" the star added.
However, he went on to recognise his fellow nominees - including Skepta, Kano and Stormzy, all of whom have been at the frontline of the grime resurgence this year.
Grime was well-represented in the night's other categories. Section Boyz took home best hip-hop, while Chip picked up the best grime prize.
Kano won best album for Made In The Manor, a textured and reflective record, rooted in his east London upbringing.
The star beat Mercury Prize-winner Skepta, and two other Mercury nominees, Laura Mvula and Michael Kiwanuka, to scoop the prize.
He was unable to attend the ceremony, but sent a recorded message, holding aloft a chipped trophy. "My award's broken but I'm going to have a drink tonight," he said.
WSTRN had kept their award for best song for almost an hour before hosts Rickie Williams and Melvin Odoom announced the error, explaining "someone picked up the wrong envelope".
Abra Cadabra then accepted the award, accompanied by Krept and Konan, whose remix of his song was the eventual winner.
WSTRN's night was not a complete loss, however. They went on to win the prize for best newcomers.
Rap star Tinie Tempah pulled out of performing at the ceremony with hours to go.
In a handwritten statement, the star blamed "music industry politics" and stressed: "The Mobos is a ceremony I have grown up watching and take pride in".

Fury, 28, has withdrawn from his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, scheduled for 29 October, because of reported mental health issues.
The Englishman, who has not fought since beating Klitschko last November, postponed the original rematch in June.
"Fury will be stripped of his titles and, after a legal battle, he'll say: 'No more, I'm done'," said Hearn.
"It's going to be really messy and it might take a year to resolve. I know there are sensitivities around mental health issues but this is a business.
"The governing bodies have had enough. The world heavyweight title is a huge part of their business and they've not made any money from it for a year."
Fury beat Klitschko on points in Germany - the Ukrainian's first loss since 2004 - to pick up the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles, with American Deontay Wilder holding the WBC belt.
Within two weeks Fury was stripped of the IBF title because he was unable to fight mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov - and that belt is now held by Fury's fellow Briton Anthony Joshua.
Hearn, who does not promote Fury, said Klitschko's team - including manager Bernd Boente - were keen for the 40-year-old to fight his own man - Joshua - on 29 October.
But Hearn believed the predicted legal challenges from Fury's team made that match unlikely.
"I spoke to Bernd Boente for half-an-hour on Saturday and the conversation was great, we all fancy the fight," said Hearn.
"It does feel a little bit early - Joshua has only had 17 professional fights and Klitschko's experience worries me. But he looked awful against Fury. I think he's done."
Joshua, 26, is scheduled to defend his title in Manchester on 26 November.
Hearn added: "We're fighting in nine weeks, so we need to announce an opponent next week.
"I think the WBA and WBO would sanction the fight and the deal would be easy to do. But Fury's legal battle to keep the belts will take too much time."
Hearn said Joshua is more likely to make the second defence of his title against mandatory challenger Joseph Parker, from New Zealand.
Hearn believes the WBA and WBO will both make Fury their 'champion in recess', meaning Klitschko could fight for the vacant titles in October before facing Joshua in a unification showdown next spring or summer.
If Fury's team do take legal action, and the governing bodies' hands are tied, it would leave Klitschko in limbo.
On Sunday, Fury's uncle and trainer Peter said his charge's medical condition was caused by a "witchhunt" conducted by the British media in the wake of his stunning upset of Klitschko, who had not lost for 11 years.
But Hearn believes Fury's team will not be able to persuade the relevant governing bodies their fighter should hang on to his titles indefinitely.
"If they just say, 'he needs time away from the sport', they're bang in trouble," said Hearn.
"The governing bodies will ask: 'When will he be ready to fight?' And his doctor won't be able to tell them. Once they hear that, they'll make him champion in recess and say: 'Once you're fit, we'll give you another chance.'"
Fury is under investigation for alleged doping, having been charged with an offence by the UK Anti-Doping Agency (Ukad) in June, after traces of a banned substance were allegedly found in a urine sample.
The fighter has denied allegations of doping.
It has also been alleged he recently refused to give a sample, having been visited by Ukad. An athlete who refuses to take a drugs test can be banned for four years.
While Hearn stressed he had sympathy for Fury's health issues, he added those around him must take their share of the blame for his plight.
"How can you unify the heavyweight division by beating Wladimir Klitschko in Germany and mess it up so badly?" said Hearn. "You couldn't make it up and the people who guide him have to be held responsible for what has happened.
"I wanted Fury to fight Klitschko, because we wanted Joshua to fight Fury. A heavyweight world title unification between two Brits is gold dust. But everyone in boxing knew that the fight between Fury and Klitschko wouldn't happen and I don't think Fury will fight again.
"Some people can't deal with being in the spotlight and maybe he thinks he'll never get that feeling again that he got from winning the world title."
Preston led as Alex Baptiste poked home a corner at the far post but Blues were soon level through defender Ryan Shotton's powerful header.
However the visitors reclaimed the lead within five minutes courtesy of Daniel Johnson's well struck free-kick.
Birmingham struck the crossbar through David Cotterill before Che Adams found a right-foot volleyed finish from Jonathan Grounds' cross to equalise.
The draw stretches Birmingham's unbeaten run to six league games and keeps them inside the top six on goal difference, but Gary Rowett's side almost fell to a second home defeat of the campaign late on.
Callum Robinson fired in a shot from substitute Aiden McGeady's throughball which forced Adam Legzdins into a smart save.
Robinson was twice denied by the Birmingham goalkeeper in the closing 10 minutes as Preston pushed for just a second away win of the season.
Legzdins was also on hand to palm a powerful Greg Cunningham shot over the crossbar just after half-time.

Peter Kibisu, 23, sexually assaulted and strangled Elizabeth Nnyanzi, 31, in Harrow, north-west London.
Kibisu had been lodging with Miss Nnyanzi's family at the time.
He pleaded guilty to her murder in November last year but at the Old Bailey on Friday he also admitted raping her.
His admission came at a hearing intended to decide whether to proceed with a rape trial.
Following her murder, family members described Miss Nnyanzi as a "beautiful and talented" young woman, who had trained as a lawyer and taken up a job at a top firm shortly before her death.
They described her as a "young star" and said her death was a "huge loss to society".
Kibisu's lawyer told the court that his actions came like a "bolt from the blue".
Sentencing will take place next month.
Police in Uppsala were contacted in the morning by a woman who said she had seen a gang rape broadcast in a closed group on the site.
"You have been raped," one of the men said at the end of the video and then laughed, according to the viewer.
Police later confirmed they, and "many" others, had seen the footage.
The Facebook group is said to have several thousand members.
Police confirmed that they had found three men, aged between 19 and 25, and one woman at a local apartment.
The men were arrested on the spot.
Josefine Lundgren, 21, called the police when she saw the video.
Speaking to Swedish tabloid Expressen, she said she saw one of the men tear the woman's clothes off and lie on top of her.
She also said one of the men had a gun.
Facebook Live shows a count of other people simultaneously watching the broadcast and Ms Lungren said she could see 60 other people viewing.
"Three against one hahaha," one of the viewers wrote in the comments section underneath the video, she said.
Online witnesses told Swedish media they had also seen a second video where the same woman then denied being raped, but there was speculation as to whether or not she had done so under her own free will.
According to Sweden's state broadcaster SVT, the men were still filming the follow-up video when the police arrived.
Facebook started offering live-streaming features at the end of 2015.
It is now regularly used by news organisations for on-the-scene reporting, between friends and peers for fun, and by anyone wanting to share thoughts or events with a wide audience.
However, it has also captured various crimes and acts of violence.
Earlier this month, four people were charged for a hate crime in the US city of Chicago after a live-streamed video on Facebook showed a mentally disabled man being tortured.
In June 2016, Antonio Perkins, 28, also from Chicago, was shot dead while live-streaming a video of himself on the site.
Facebook Live also caught the aftermath of an incident in which a police officer shot and killed a man in St Paul, Minnesota in July 2016.
After this, the social network issued more details on its live-streaming policy, saying it would be treated the same as for other content.
The company said footage will not be removed simply because it is violent or graphic, but if it is shared to mock the victim or celebrate the violence it will be taken down.
They said live videos can be reported to a team, which is on call 24 hours a day. Reviewers in the team can interrupt a live stream if it breaches Facebook's community standards.
However, people complained when the Chicago torture video ran for 30 minutes, racking up thousands of views, before it was stopped.
Murray, 30, can earn up to £350,000 in prize money by winning the tournament.
He starts his campaign for a sixth Queen's title on Tuesday when he faces fellow Briton Aljaz Bedene.
Seventy nine people died or are missing presumed dead after the blaze at Grenfell Tower in Kensington last week.
The government has pledged to give £5,500 to all of those who lost their homes, with more than £200,000 of a £5m emergency fund so far given to families affected.
In 2013, Murray donated his £73,000 winnings from Queen's to the Royal Marsden Centre, which had been treating his friend and Davis Cup doubles player Ross Hutchins for Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The front counter service in Caerphilly, Chepstow, Maindee, Monmouth, Pontypool, Risca and Ystrad Mynach was closed or reduced in 2012.
They were initially reopened in 2014 and following a consultation, Mr Johnston says they will stay open.
"I'm delighted to announce that these stations will remain open," he said.
The stations will open on weekdays 09:00-17:00 GMT; in addition, Abertillery station will open on Thursday and Friday 09:00-17:00 and Brynmawr station will open Monday to Wednesday 09:00-17:00.
Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people had been inside the mine at Soma in Manisa province when an electrical fault triggered the blast.
Rescuers worked through the night, but Mr Yildiz said hopes were fading of finding any more survivors.
Worried relatives are gathered near the privately owned mine, about 450km (280 miles) west of the capital Ankara.
By Selin GiritBBC Turkish Service
Turkey has been on edge, waiting for some good news about the trapped miners. But as the hours have passed the picture now looks gloomier. TV footage shows relatives gathered anxiously at the state hospital where the injured are taken. Ambulances come and go.
At the mine itself, rescue operations continue. As a miner emerges alive, cheers erupt followed by tears.
Social media is buzzing with reaction. Some complain about the lack of mine security, an issue that Turkey does not have a good record on.
Four years ago in Zonguldak, 30 miners died in an explosion. One of the worst mining accidents took place in the same town when more than 250 miners lost their lives in 1992.
Mr Yildiz confirmed the latest death toll on Turkish TV and said some 80 people had been injured.
He said that of the workers inside the mine at the time of the accident, only about 360 of them - including those killed - had been accounted for.
Mr Yildiz said that carbon monoxide poisoning had claimed many lives. Oxygen was being pumped into the mine to help those still trapped.
He later said it was becoming less likely that anyone else would be found alive.
Three days of mourning have been declared by the government.
The electrical fault triggered a power cut, making the mine cages unusable. Those trapped are reported to be 2km (1.2 miles) below the surface and 4km from the mine entrance.
The blast happened at about 12:30 GMT on Tuesday. Initial reports said 17 people had died but the death toll leapt later in the day.
TV footage showed rescuers helping workers from the mine, their faces and hard-hats covered in soot and dust. Some were carried on stretchers to waiting ambulances.
Police were keeping the crowds back to allow emergency services in and out of the area.
Sena Isbiler, a mother of one of the miners, stood on top of piles of wood, anxiously craning her neck to see those being led out of the mine.
"I have been waiting for my son since early afternoon," she told AFP news agency. "I haven't heard anything about him yet."
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has postponed a trip to Albania over the accident and is to visit Soma instead, his office said.
The mine's owners, Soma Komur Isletmeleri, said an investigation was under way but the accident occurred despite the "highest safety measures and constant controls".
"Our main priority is to get our workers out so that they may be reunited with their loved ones," the owners said in a statement.
Lignite coal mining is a major industry in the Soma area, helping to supply a nearby lignite-fired thermal power plant, but safety has long been a concern.
An MP with Turkey's opposition CHP party has accused the government of rejecting a recent proposal for a parliamentary inquiry into mine accidents in Soma.
Ozgur Ozel told Today's Zaman newspaper that the motion had substantial support among opposition parties.
The country's worst mining disaster was in 1992, when 270 miners were killed near Zonguldak, on the Black Sea.
Farkhunda, who was beaten to death by a Kabul mob last week, had been arguing with a mullah about his practice of selling charms to women at a shrine.
In the course of the argument she was accused of burning the Koran and a crowd overheard and beat her to death.
Hundreds of Afghans protested on Monday against the attack.
The event has raised new questions about the pace of reform in Afghanistan. And there has been no attempt in the government to deny the seriousness of what happened. A spokesman for the interior ministry, Sediq Sediqi, said the father was right to say that the police could have done more to save Farkhunda. "We will have to work on our measures, on our teaching and training for our police across the country, and this incident will bring a lot of changes within us," he said.
Farkhunda, 28, was beaten, hit by bats, stamped on, driven over, and her body dragged by a car before being set on fire.
A policeman who witnessed the incident on Thursday told AP news agency that Farkhunda was arguing with a local mullah. Her father said she had complained about women being encouraged to waste money on the amulets peddled by the mullahs at the shrine.
"Based on their lies, people decided Farkhunda was not a Muslim and beat her to death," Mohammed Nadir told AP.
The policeman who saw the incident, Sayed Habid Shah, said Farkhunda had denied setting the Koran on fire.
"She said I am a Muslim and Muslims do not burn the Koran," he said. "As more people gathered, the police were trying to push them away, but it got out of control," he added.
An official investigator has also said there was no evidence she had burned the Koran.
"Last night I went through all documents and evidence once again, but I couldn't find any evidence to say Farkhunda burnt the Holy Koran," General Mohammad Zahir told reporters at her funeral on Sunday. "Farkhunda was totally innocent."
Police say they have detained 18 people over the incident, with more arrests expected. In addition, 13 policemen have been suspended for having failed to do enough to stop the attack.
Shukria, a woman visiting the shrine on Monday, told the BBC that the attack was "not just an attack on Farkhunda, but on all Afghan women. They have killed us all".
Demonstrators have called for justice and planted a commemorative tree.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has ordered an investigation into her death.
The attack, near the Shah-Du-Shamshaira mosque and shrine, is thought to have been the first of its kind in Afghanistan.
Breaking with tradition, women's rights activists carried the coffin at her funeral, a role usually performed by men.
Farkhunda's family initially claimed she was mentally ill, but this has since been retracted by her father who said he was told to say so by police to reduce the chances of violent reprisals against them.
London beat bids from Edinburgh, Manchester and several German regions to stage the Grand Depart.
But last week, a day before contracts were meant to be signed, Transport for London (TfL) said it was pulling out.
"To ensure value for money we must make difficult choices," Leon Daniels, managing director of surface transport at TfL, told BBC Sport.
"We have always said that the return of the Tour was subject to funding."
The timing of the decision has angered the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the French company which owns the race.
As the body responsible for all transport policy in London, TfL would have provided the funds for staging the Tour's opening stages.
London hosted a hugely successful Grand Depart in 2007 and the finish of the Tour's third stage in 2014.
The first two stages of last year's Tour were held in Yorkshire, attracting an estimated four million spectators and boosting the economy by £100m, according to local organisers.
TfL contributed £6m to the Grand Depart budget of £27m, which was almost as much as the total for two days of racing in 2007.
Given the upfront costs and the prospect of major cuts to transport spending across the UK later this year, it is understood bosses at TfL and the Greater London Authority, its parent body, decided the city could not afford a third visit from the world's biggest bike race.
It is believed the 2017 Grand Depart will now be held in Germany, which has not hosted a Tour stage since 2005.
The Manche region of Normandy will host next year's Grand Depart, when Britain's Chris Froome will start as defending champion.
Japan's Hirooki Arai, who came home third, was subsequently disqualified for a collision with Canada's Evan Dunfee, but was reinstated to the bronze medal position on appeal.
Heffernan, 38, was eighth in the 20km in Beijing, ninth in London four years later and third in the 50km in 2012.
He had previously made his debut in Sydney in 2000.
"At 36-38km I thought I was going to win it," said Heffernan afterwards.
"I got bad cramps then but it's still a magnificent performance. I'm still there or thereabouts so you have to take the positives.
"This is the only day of the year that counts. Obviously I would have liked to have won a medal. I love training in the summer and I love training for these championships.
"It's all about tunnel vision and getting ready for the big day," added the 2013 World Championship gold medallist.
Brendan Boyce finished 19th in 3:53.59 but Alex Wright was forced to withdraw mid-race due to a fluid intake problem.
Lancashire-born "Typhoon" Tyson's Test career lasted less than five years, but in 17 Tests he captured 76 wickets at a remarkable average of 18.56.
He shone brightest as England won the 1954-55 Ashes series down under.
Chosen ahead of fellow quick bowler Fred Trueman, Tyson took 28 wickets in five Tests, including 7-27 in the second innings at Melbourne.
Media playback is not supported on this device
In terms of England bowling performances in the Ashes, that 7-27 has only since been bettered by two bowlers - spinner Jim Laker, who took 9-37 and 10-53 at Old Trafford in 1956, and paceman Stuart Broad who took 8-15 at Trent Bridge earlier this year.
After retiring at the age of 30 with 767 first-class wickets to his name, Tyson later emigrated to Australia, where he became a successful coach, commentator and writer.
Despite his injury-hit, relatively short international career, Tyson was hailed as the fastest bowler of his era by Australian legends Sir Donald Bradman and the late Richie Benaud, as well as his rival Trueman.
Former Australia batsman Dean Jones tweeted: "Sad to hear that Frank Tyson has passed away. Ex Vic coach. I was his student for a few of his books. Terrific cricketer. Terrific bloke."
Rev Michael John Fry, 57, of Aigburth Vale, Liverpool pleaded guilty to eight offences over eight years ending on 1 January 2014.
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 was remanded on bail to be sentenced on 23 March at Liverpool Crown Court.
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.
Judge Robert Warnock told the court Fry had been in the care of the community psychiatric team for about a year but had since been discharged from their care.
He was bailed pending the writing of a pre-sentence report.
Liam Sercombe gave Oxford the lead on 31 minutes with a simple tap-in at the far post after Marvin Johnson brushed off Byron Webster's unconvincing challenge and squared to him behind the Lions' defence.
But just five minutes later, when there seemed little on, Morison connected beautifully on the volley from distance for his sixth League One goal of the season.
Oxford top scorer Chris Maguire went close with a free-kick when he tried to catch out goalkeeper Jordan Archer at his near post, firing the effort into the side-netting.
And, from a left-wing cross by Maguire, striker Dan Crowley saw his shot on the turn from eight yards deflect just wide.
However, five minutes into the second half, Oxford's defence failed to deal with Mahlon Romeo's run and pull-back, and Aiden O'Brien fired home from 12 yards for what proved to be the winner.
John Lundstram headed wide at a corner, a Tyler Roberts effort deflected onto the bar, and in stoppage time Curtis Nelson headed straight at Archer as Millwall held on.

Here, we take a look at some of the most interesting stats from the weekend.
There's certainly been a resurgence since Paul Clement took over as Swansea boss at the turn of the year, but momentum was dampened at Hull on Saturday.
The Welsh club have climbed from bottom of the table to 16th under Clement, but missed the chance to steer further towards safety in a 2-1 defeat by fellow strugglers Hull, who now trail the Swans by just three points.
Media playback is not supported on this device
And that's not the worst of it. Both of Hull's goals were scored by Oumar Niasse, whose second was the 61st Swansea have conceded this season.
No team has ever stayed up after conceding over 60 goals at this stage of a league campaign - 28 games - so there is plenty of work to do for Clement and co. Will they break the curse? Next week's trip to Bournemouth will be crucial.
When your side goes 1-0 up only to lose after conceding twice from the opposition's three shots on target, Burnley boss Sean Dyche is right to call it "a tough one to take".
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said it was the first time his team had won "playing ugly", and the Clarets' performance at Anfield on Sunday certainly deserved more than a 2-1 defeat.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Instead of luxuriating after finally securing a first away win of the season, Dyche and company were left scratching their heads over what more they can do to win on the road.
With only two points from a possible 42 at opposition grounds this term, Burnley have just five games left to avoid becoming the worst away side in Premier League history.
Derby County, who sacked manager Steve McClaren for a second time in less than two years on Sunday, are the current record-holders with three points away during the 2007-08 season.
Burnley's final five matches away in the league are against Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Everton, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.
Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka loves a yellow card, not to mention the two reds he's already seen this season, but where does he rank amongst the Premier League's most committed tough tacklers?
As bad as Robbie Savage? Worse than Lee Cattermole? Could he maybe even reach Gareth Barry levels of ill-discipline?
Xhaka's booking in Arsenal's 5-0 victory over Lincoln City in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final was his eighth in 32 matches in all competitions since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach last summer.
He has three in the Premier League, three in the Champions League, and the one on Saturday was his second in the FA Cup.
Three yellow cards from 20 league games is a promising start towards overhauling the player with the most in Premier League history, Everton midfielder Barry.
The 36-year-old has amassed 116 yellows from 621 appearances in England's top flight, so clearly Xhaka, 24, has a long way to go.
But if he were to carry on collecting at his current rate, he would have 93 yellows from the same number of games.
That would put Switzerland international Xhaka above Savage and Cattermole, but just below Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney - and who knows how many he may yet end up with?
Barcelona fans caused a 'minor earthquake' when celebrating their incredible Champions League turnaround at home to Paris St-Germain on Wednesday, but that must feel like a world away after Sunday's 2-1 loss at Deportivo La Coruna.
It was a defeat that should never have happened - because ex-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez scored.
In the previous 72 matches when the Uruguayan has bagged for Barca, they had never lost - winning 67 times and drawing five.
Impressive, yes, but it's no patch on what Ian Rush had going on at Liverpool in the 1980s. Over seven years and 145 matches, the Reds would not lose when Rushie found the net.
Unfortunately for him and the Reds, the run finally came to an end in the 1987 League Cup final, when Arsenal came back from conceding first to win 2-1.
So who is the leading the way now in the English top flight? It's a third Liverpool man - James Milner.
Starting with his first strike for Leeds on Boxing Day 2002 when he was 16, Milner is on a run of 46 games in which he's scored and his team has not lost - a joint Premier League record he holds with retired ex-England forward Darius Vassell.
Joshua King became the first Bournemouth player to reach double figures in the top flight as he scored a hat-trick - including a 90th-minute winner - in Saturday's 3-2 victory over West Ham.
That brought him up to 11 for the season, and there should be a few more still to come from the first Norwegian to score a Premier League treble since John Carew for Aston Villa in 2008.
Cherries boss Eddie Howe will certainly be hoping his team will add to their first victory in 2017.
But who has achieved the same feat at the Premier League's other clubs? And which is the one club lagging behind? One player did it in the season he scored a whopping 30 goals...
West Ham fans, forget all about Dimitri Payet. He's gone. Michail Antonio is the one you want to keep hold of.
The 26-year-old winger scored his ninth league goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 defeat by Bournemouth, his 17th since making his Premier League debut in September 2015.
That's more than any other Hammers player over the same period - only the injury-plagued Andy Carroll comes close, with 15 goals.
Next it's Manuel Lanzini with 11 goals, then Payet, level with captain Mark Noble on eight. | More than 70 people have been prosecuted over railway safety incidents in Northern Ireland in the past year, figures have shown.

Conservative AM Suzy Davies is also calling for defibrillators and first aid material to be made publicly available in more locations.
There will be a vote on her proposal on Wednesday afternoon.
The Welsh Government said school pupils already learn "emergency aid procedures" in personal and social education lessons.
Ms Davies is the first AM to use a new procedure known as a member's legislative proposal to table a debate in the assembly.
She said she hoped it would influence the Welsh Government to take up the idea.
"Backbenchers of course have always been able to put their names into a ballot and be drawn to bring forward their own legislation but not all of us are lucky to get that," she said.
"This is a new procedure by those who haven't been lucky enough to come out of the ballot get the opportunity to put their proposals before the assembly anyway and for a vote to be taken on it."
Ms Davies said she had long campaigned to persuade the government to make emergency lifesaving skills a compulsory part of the school curriculum.
She added: "Schools can do this now if they like but the take-up of that is not huge and the reason for that is there are about 8,000 cardiac arrests that take place outside a hospital environment every year and most of the time there's somebody with the person that's had the heart attack, they don't know what to do.
"And normally those few crucial minutes between being able to restore somebody's blood circulation and an ambulance arriving can literally be the difference between life and death."
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We are committed to raising awareness of the importance of learning life-saving skills and emergency first aid procedures.
"Learners in Wales are able to develop the practical skills necessary for everyday life, such as emergency aid procedures, as part of personal and social education, which forms part of the current curriculum for all pupils in maintained schools."
Woods, who missed last week's Open because of a leg injury, made the announcement on his official website.
Woods said: "I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie, but I think it's time for a change.
"Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success in the future."
Williams has been working with Australian Adam Scott at the last two majors, and Woods has made no announcement yet about who will replace him when the 14-time major champion returns to action after his injury.
Williams was Woods' caddy for 13 of those 14 major wins, and was at one stage thought to be New Zealand's highest earning sporting figure.
Speaking to his official website, Williams confirmed the end of his relationship with Woods and revealed he would team up with Scott on a permanent basis.
He said: "After years of loyal service needless to say this came as a shock.
"Given the circumstances of the past 18 months working through Tiger's scandal, a new coach and with it a major swing change and Tiger battling through injuries, I am very disappointed to end our very successful partnership at this time.
"I have had the opportunity to work of late for Australian Adam Scott and will now caddie for him on a permanent basis.
"Having started my caddying career with Australian great Peter Thompson and working for Greg Norman in the 80s I am excited about the future working for another Australian. "
The only caddies Woods has used in his 14-year career on the PGA Tour are Mike Cowan and Williams.
His childhood friend, Byron Bell, caddied for him when he won the Buick Invitational in 1999 and 2000, and Billy Foster caddied for Woods at the Presidents Cup in 2005 when Williams was home for the birth of his son. Foster now works for Lee Westwood.
The £9m site of 88 acres (36 hectare) will process up to 120,000 vehicles a year at Stallingborough, North East Lincolnshire, in a 10-year deal.
The operation has relocated from nearby Killingholme, North Lincolnshire and employs about 150 staff.
The new site will allow a "lot more room for growth in the future", said Yaser Shabsogh of Kia.
The proximity of the Humber ports was an important part of the decision to keep the plant in the area, he added.
Crews were called to a farm in Loxley, Warwickshire, at about 14:50 BST on Tuesday.
The man, in his eighties, had gone there to fish.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "He smoked his pipe and chatted to the farmer, who went into the lake in waders".
Firefighters carried the driver from his car back onto land.
"He wasn't hurt or even cold but crews removed his clothing to ensure he didn't get cold and he was driven home in the ambulance," a spokesman said.
It was discovered by people walking along the beach on Friday.
It was encouraged back into the sea by the Loughs Agency on Friday but it washed up on Tuesday due to its emaciated condition.
The dead whale has been removed from the site by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) and the Loughs Agency.
A spokesperson for the Department of Environment (DOE) said: "We assessed the situation and noted that the animal was an unweaned calf about three months old and apparently separated from its mother.
"The calf was severely malnourished and had suffered extensive injuries during its several standings.
"The animal's carcass has now been removed from the shore by council.
"DOE Marine Division staff have been able to recover some bone material for scientific and educational use.
"Minke whales are the most common whales in Irish waters, with young animals born mid-winter.
"They are not weaned until six months old and remain with the mother for up to three years to learn essential social and foraging skills.
"Despite local enquiries about any link with the pilot whale stranding event in Scotland, this is an isolated incident with no correlation."
Richard Gillen, the countryside officer for Causeway Coast and Glens District Council, said: "The water is shallow in that part of Myroe so I can see how it happened.
"There are baby whales out there in the water along the north coast, but this one seemed to like the Myroe and Magilligan area.
"It really wouldn't have survived."
A nine-metre (29ft) long minke whale was found dead at Magilligan Point in November 2013.
The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group said the minke whale is Ireland's smallest and most commonly-recorded whale species.
An alleged victim told police he was assaulted when he was 16 or 17 on a train between Newport, south Wales, and London Paddington.
This follows earlier complaints made against the Port Talbot born Cardiff MP who died in 1997.
BTP said it had been made aware of "inappropriate touching" allegations.
A spokesman said: "BTP was made aware of an allegation of inappropriate touching involving the late George Thomas on board a train from London Paddington to Aberystwyth in 1959.
"I can confirm that a second report has been received, from Gwent Police, involving allegations of a sexual assault during a train journey from Newport to London Paddington between 1964 and 1966.
"The complainant, who was aged 16 or 17 at the time, did not wish to make a formal statement to police.
"The information has since been passed to the Operation Hydrant investigating team."
Operation Hydrant teams are gathering evidence for a number of investigations into historical child sexual abuse allegations, including Operation Pallial in north Wales and Operation Yewtree, the inquiry prompted by the Jimmy Savile abuse cases.
The Championship side suffered a shock 2-0 home loss at the hands of their opponents but took a 29th-minute lead when Matt Ritchie sidefooted in.
Frenchman Gouffran doubled the lead two minutes later when he fired in a ferocious volley from Ritchie's cross.
They also went close through Mohamed Diame whose chip came off the bar.
The visitors produced very few chances. Magpies keeper Karl Darlow saved Jed Wallace's shot and then rushed out of his goal to block Ola John's attempt from four yards.
Newcastle are at promotion rivals Aston Villa on Saturday and Wolves are at home to Brentford.
Relive Tuesday's EFL Cup action
Newcastle Rafael Benitez manager on Gouffran:
"I was happy with him during pre-season. I was expecting some offers for him during the summer - we had one that was not good enough. I was expecting maybe no-one would come and I would be happy, so that was the situation.
"I am really pleased because when you have someone working so hard, he deserves some luck sometimes.
"He didn't know what would happen in the future, but still he was working hard, so I am really pleased for him and he is scoring great goals now. Especially from volleys, so that is good."
Wolves boss Walter Zenga:
"We made a big gift in one minute and the game was over in that one minute because of our two mistakes in defensive situations.
"When you make some gifts in this way, it's difficult then to come back into the game.
"Before they scored the goals, we had one great chance, unbelievable, one v one with the keeper and we missed. In the second half, we would have had something to open up the game.
"But unfortunately, we didn't score and the game was in the hands of the home team."

In September, police found 21 packages containing parts of women's clitorises, as well as surgical equipment, in a freezer owned by Peter Frederiksen, 63.
Weeks later, his wife, the state's main witness, was shot dead in Lesotho.
Prosecutor Amanda Bester told a bail hearing that Mr Frederiksen's wife, Anna Matseliso Molise, 28, was killed because she "knew too much".
"You do not have any evidence regarding my wife's death in Lesotho, so I suggest you stop that," Mr Frederiksen, a gun shop owner, told the hearing in Bloemfontein.
When he learned in prison that his wife had died, "it changed everything in my life", he said.
Mr Frederiksen is asking to be released on bail, but the state argues he should not, adding that he was in South Africa on fraudulent papers.
The state says Mr Frederiksen sliced off women's genitalia and kept them in the freezer.
He is pleading guilty to a number of charges, including conspiracy to murder, assault, bigamy and production and distribution of child pornography.
He told the court he did not take pornographic images of children and that he and his wife had used surgical equipment for body piercings only.
A women's rights group that has attended the hearings says he should not be freed before his trial.
Watson, ranked 79th in the world, failed with a chance to serve for a straight-set win over Hungary's Timea Babos before losing 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 7-5.
Babos, ranked 60th, played with aggression and power to claim victory in just under three hours.
Edmund was hampered by cramp as he lost 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 6-3 6-1 to world number 81 Damir Dzumhur.
The 21-year-old twice led by a set in hot conditions but the problem with his left leg helped Dzumhur fight back.
"I'm disappointed obviously because it's not my tennis that's let me down, it's my body," Edmund said.
Watson, 23, revealed after her match that she had also been troubled by physical issues.
"I came into the tournament with an abdominal strain," she said.
"As soon as it got important in that 5-4 game in the second set, I felt myself get tense and when I needed my serve today I couldn't reach up and hit it."
Watson, the British number two, made a great start against Babos by securing an early break for a 3-0 lead, but was soon broken back.
The Hungarian's aggressive serving game saved a set point at 5-6 as she produced two aces in a row, but Watson triumphed in the tie-break to secure a dramatic opening set than lasted 70 minutes.
At that stage, the advantage was with the Briton, who came out on top in a sumptuous 40-shot rally en route to earning what appeared a crucial break at 4-4 in the second set.
But 23-year-old Watson looked nervous as she served for the match, and lost her momentum as Babos reeled off three successive games to take the second set and level the match.
There was a further setback for Watson in the decider, as she was broken after pulling out of a shot when on top in a rally, in the mistaken belief that Babos had hit the ball long.
She broke back as Babos served for the match, and then pulled level at 5-5, only to fail in her next service game and lose the match.
Edmund, the British men's number three, called the trainer after the seventh game in the third set.
He managed to serve out for a 2-1 lead, but was no match for the Bosnian in the final two sets as his injury continued to hinder him.
Edmund, wincing and clutching his thigh, gave away five break points at 1-1 in the decider before succumbing and handing his opponent the decisive advantage.
The 21-year-old struggled to make it to the baseline to serve his final game, and a backhand into the net confirmed defeat in three hours and 12 minutes.
"You can't play full out because you lose confidence in your movement and when you do move you start to cramp up again," said the Yorkshireman.
"It was the same situation I felt in Davis Cup where I couldn't do anything.
"To beat these guys you have to be 100%. You can't play with your body cramping. It's frustrating."
"Watson said before this match that the short-term addition of Judy Murray to her coaching team put her in a 'super positive' frame of mind, and she played this match in a similar vein.
"She served for a straight-set victory in a match of absorbing rallies of up to 40 shots, but ultimately one of great disappointment as Watson lost in the first round for the third year in a row.
"Playing in plus-30 degree heat, Edmund started cramping as early as the third set. Cramp was also an issue in the Davis Cup final: nerves play their part, and the 21-year-old knows it is something he needs to address."
British number one Andy Murray begins his campaign against German teenager Alexander Zverev on Tuesday.
His match will be the second of the day on the Margaret Court Arena (01:30 GMT approx).
British number one woman Johanna Konta takes on Venus Williams in the second match on Rod Laver Arena (01:30 GMT approx).
Dan Evans is also second on Court 13 for his match against Spain's Feliciano Lopez and is followed on court by Aljaz Bedene, who faces American Steve Johnson.
No new date has yet been set for the game to be played.
The Church of Scotland-led memorial at Cathcart Old Parish Church will see wreaths laid and the flags of the New York police and fire departments flown.
It will be led by Rev Neil Galbraith with Christians and Muslims involved in readings during the service.
Representatives of the Scottish Ahlul Bayat Society will lay a wreath of remembrance and read from the Koran.
Police Scotland Deputy Chief Constable Ruaraidh Nicolson will also lay a wreath.
Mr Galbraith founded an aid charity called Glasgow the Caring City, which sent a disaster relief team to New York in the days after the terrorist attack.
He said around 70 American families have been flown over to Glasgow in the last decade for "therapy" holidays organised by the charity.
His church also has a piece of marble and part of a girder from the Twin Towers.
He said: "It is important to mark the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks because the worldwide consequences of that day have been immense.
"It is significant that the Scottish Ahlul Bayat Society are taking an active part in the service as equal partners.
"Their attendance sends out the message that, as a community, we are all in this together."
The Ahlul Bayat Society is a faith group which works in the Shia Muslim community.
He added: "There will never be another memorial service like this because a lot of the people who were involved in 9/11 are getting a lot older and might not be here for the 20th anniversary.
"With the passing of age, we must pass on to the young folks a modern Scotland, a more caring Scotland which has a respect for each other's faiths and is diverse enough to build bonds which can never be broken.
"And what better time to do it than on the anniversary of the day when the world changed and almost imploded, except for the fact that people of faith, humanity and compassion worked even harder and loved even stronger to ensure it would never happen.
"There is a bit of New York in all of us. That no matter what happens, with faith we can be stronger and united, you can love again."
Steven McGovern, 18, fled from G4S staff at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday and was last seen in the Grassmarket at about 17:00.
Police Scotland said he was wearing a sling on his arm at the time.
Anyone who knows where he is or has seen him has been urged not to approach him and contact police.
He is white, about 5ft 7in, with brown hair. He was wearing a green hooded Lacoste tracksuit, blue T-shirt and green trainers.
Police said he has links to the Drylaw area of Edinburgh.
The man who began his career as a priest in 1950s Hampshire went on to lead the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales and to don the red hat of a cardinal.
A traditionalist who opposed birth control and abortion, he preached that Christians must be more outspoken about their faith.
But he was heavily criticised when it emerged that he had failed to report a priest, who was later convicted of abusing children. It was a failing which he later bitterly regretted.
Cormac Murphy-O'Connor was born into a devout Catholic family in Reading, Berkshire on 24 August 1932.
His parents had emigrated from County Cork in Ireland before World War One.
One of six children, two of his brothers, Brian and Patrick, would also become priests and his eldest brother, James, qualified as a General Practitioner and played international rugby union for Ireland.
The family would say the Rosary (a series of prayers) most evenings and always attended church together on Sundays.
The young Murphy-O'Connor attended the Catholic Presentation College in Reading where he gained a reputation as a useful rugby player and became an accomplished pianist.
By the time he went to Prior Park College in Bath he knew he was destined for the priesthood.
He studied at the Venerable English College in Rome, the seminary set up in the 16th Century to train priests for England and Wales, where he gained a degree in theology, and was ordained in October 1956.
He began his ministry in Hampshire, eventually being appointed secretary to the Bishop of Portsmouth, Derek Worlock.
In 1970 he was appointed as parish priest at the church of the Immaculate Conception in Portswood, a suburb of Southampton.
By then his theological acumen had brought him to the attention of senior clergy and he served as rector of the college in Rome where he had previously studied.
While there he hosted the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Donald Coggan, on his groundbreaking visit to Rome when, to the amazement of the Vatican, Coggan called for full intercommunion between the Anglican and Catholic churches.
Murphy-O'Connor was appointed as Bishop of Arundel and Brighton in 1977 where his theologically orthodox and pastorally engaged ministry was well received.
It was in Sussex that he also faced his greatest public challenge when a priest within the diocese, Michael Hill, was accused of child sexual abuse.
Murphy-O'Connor sought advice from a psychotherapist and a counsellor who suggested that Hill should be given a job that did not involve children. The bishop agreed and Hill was made a chaplain at Gatwick Airport. He went on to abuse more children and was subsequently jailed in 1997.
He deeply regretted his failure to report the priest to the police, and said of his conduct: "I don't make any excuses. It was shameful. It's very hard for a bishop, who's told when he takes up that office, that a priest is your brother, you must help him, forgive him.
"What we didn't realise, as we should have done, was the grievous damage done to the victims," he added.
Murphy-O'Connor refused to resign but instead, upon becoming Archbishop of Westminster in 2000, established an independent committee led by Lord Nolan, to carry out a review on child protection practices in the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
The resulting report contained recommendations for key structures required at parish, diocesan and national level and in religious orders, the action needed to create as safe an environment as possible for children and those who work with them, and a strengthening of arrangements for responding to allegations of abuse.
Although he did not engage directly in politics, it was his careful nurturing that led Prime Minister Tony Blair to convert to Catholicism in 2007.
Blair later gave public testimony of his faith after the leadership of the Labour Party had passed to Gordon Brown.
However, the two clashed over the issue of gay couples being allowed to adopt, with Murphy-O'Connor telling Blair that Catholic adoption agencies should be exempted from the measure, a proposal which the government rejected.
A year later Murphy-O'Connor published a book entitled Faith in the Nation in which he said that while Britain had become more diverse and pluralistic, the Christian values which had shaped its identity should not be abandoned.
Throughout his ministry he strove to improve relationships with the Church of England although that became something of a struggle for him when the Anglican Church began admitting women as priests, something which he opposed.
He was created a cardinal in 2001 and, a year later, read prayers at the funeral service of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
It was the first time since 1509 that a Catholic Cardinal had taken part in an English royal funeral service.
When he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, Pope Benedict asked him to stay on and he finally retired two years later in 2009.
He was the first Archbishop of Westminster not to die in office.
In retirement Murphy-O'Connor continued to rail against what he saw as the continuing secularisation of British society and what he saw as the marginalisation of religious faith.
"Religious belief of any kind," he said, "tends to be treated more as a private eccentricity than as the central and formative element of British society that it is.
"In the name of tolerance, it seems to me that tolerance is being abolished," he said.
The victim, thought to be in his 30s, was found with stab wounds to the chest at a property on High Road, Leyton.
Scotland Yard said it had arrested a 34-year-old man shortly after the attack on suspicion of murder. He currently remains in custody.
Police said it was believed the two men were known to each other. A post-mortem examination is due to take place later.
DF Concerts announced in November that the festival would "take a break" in 2017.
Two teenagers died at the 2016 festival in separate incidents, while witnesses reported fights and illicit drug use in the campsite area.
It is understood no discussions are taking place on restricting the entry of under-18s to the main arena.
Geoff Ellis, chief executive of DF Concerts and Events, said: "We're still at the early stages of planning and one of the discussions we've had is whether or not to make the campsite 18-plus."
The festival has an open age policy, with under-18s having to be accompanied by someone over 21.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, Mr Ellis said: "What we have seen in recent years is more 16 and 17-year-olds going a bit crazy.
"So let's make the campsite over-18 going forward.
"It does mean families can't come to the event like they have done traditionally since 1994. But that is something we have to do."
The festival moved to Strathallan Castle in Perthshire in 2015.
That event drew complaints over traffic issues and antisocial behaviour.
DF Concerts revamped its transport plan, arena and campsite at the 2016 festival.
Mr Ellis said: "'T in the Park has been a rite of passage since 1994 but the core attendance has always been between 18 and 24.
"The reasons we have taken a year out is to solve the issues placed upon us because of the planning consent, purely that."
Mr Ellis also said T in the Park would reduce the number of electronic dance acts it features.
He said: "We're looking at EDM dance music, which is something that particularly appeals to a younger audience, and that's something I think we will dial down.
"We're seeing a more polarised audience with people into EDM and people into guitar music who are not tolerant of electronic music at all."
This summer's traditional T in the Park July dates will see the TRNSMT Festival take place in Glasgow.
Staged by DF Concerts, the non-camping festival will feature Radiohead, Kasabian and Biffy Clyro as headline acts at the event in Glasgow Green between 7 and 9 July.
South Wales Police ACC Jon Stratford said the move was to protect the public and provide reassurance.
Explosions at Brussels Airport and a metro station in the city are feared to have killed at least 31 people.
ACC Stratford said the increase in patrols was not down to any specific threat.
He said: "Our thoughts are with the people of Brussels following this morning's horrific attacks."
"As a precaution forces across Wales have increased policing presence at key locations, including transport hubs, to protect the public and provide reassurance. This is not in relation to any specific information or intelligence.
"The number of officers deployed will be regularly assessed. These additional officers are deployed as part of reassurance measures.
"The threat to the UK from international terrorism remains at severe, as it has been since August 2014, meaning an attack is highly likely."
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain faced "a very real terror threat", announcing extra patrols at ports, airports, Tube stations and major railway stations.
In a case dubbed the "war on terrier", Depp's wife Amber Heard faces charges of breaching Australia's strict Quarantine Act for failing to declare the couple's dogs, Pistol and Boo.
Ms Heard had indicated the pair would avoid Australia because of Mr Joyce.
But Mr Depp now says he has been "invited to stay" at the newly-elected deputy prime minister's house.
"Of course, I love Australia," he told journalist Emma Dallimore on the Grammys red carpet on Sunday.
"Absolutely, [I will come back] ... I think that guy Barnaby? He invited me to stay at his house, for some reason."
The case sparked global attention after Depp's pet terriers were threatened with being put down by then agriculture minister Joyce.
Mr Joyce had said in an interview last year: "If we start letting movie stars, even though they've been the 'sexiest man alive' twice, to come into our nation, then why don't we just break the laws for everybody? It's time that Pistol and Boo buggered off back to the United States."
Under strict Australian laws, dogs entering from the US must be declared and have to be quarantined.

The English Championship club have the option to recall Burns, 21, in January.
He goes straight into the Dons' squad for Thursday's Europea League qualifier against Ventspils.
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes, who worked with Burns at Ashton Gate, said: "Wes is a fantastic young talent who can play right across the front line."
Burns came through the Robins' youth ranks and has had previous loan spells with Forest Green Rovers, Oxford United, Cheltenham and Fleetwood Town.
He made 17 appearances with Bristol City last season, mainly as a substitute, but ended the campaign scoring five goals in 14 games for Fleetwood in League One, leading to him being called up to Wales' pre-Euro 2016 training squad.
"He has got a brilliant attitude and plenty of motivation to do well with us," said McInnes, who handed Burns his senior debut while he was manager at Ashton Gate.
"I would like to thank Bristol City and Lee Johnson for their help in making the deal happen as Wes had plenty of options."
Burns triggered a new one-year contract extension in April but has now been rewarded with a fresh deal that includes a further 12-month option.
Robins head coach Johnson told his club website: "The loan spell at Fleetwood was important and I've seen Wes come back this summer with a gravitas of a decent player.
"He's signed a contract that commits his long-term future to the club. We believe in him and he's our player - it's important people know that.
"He still has some career progression to become an established Championship player, in my opinion.
"He'll now get the chance to play for a massive club like Aberdeen.
"Wes is very quick and that will make him stand out in Scotland."
Burns, who has scored six times in 16 appearances for his national under-21 squad, was looking forward to more regular starts.
"The loan to Aberdeen allows me to play regularly, which is something I need, and against some top clubs like Celtic and Rangers in front of 50,000 people, as well as in Europe," he said.

He pushed back against the negative tone of the current presidential race, arguing the US has the "strongest, most durable economy in the world".
"Anyone claiming that America's economy is in decline is peddling fiction," Mr Obama told lawmakers.
The speech to Congress highlighted his accomplishments such as health reform.
However, his focus was on cementing his legacy rather than unveiling new policies.
"For my final address to this chamber, I don't want to talk just about the next year," he said. "I want to focus on our future."
Mr Obama focused on tackling income inequality, using technology to combat climate change and how to maintain national security while not becoming mired in far-flung conflicts.
Finally, he talked at length about improving the state of politics and debate.
"Democracy does require basic bonds of trust between its citizens," he said.
He called on voters and members of Congress to change the divisive tone of politics and to "change the system to reflect our better selves".
Mr Obama said a major regret of his presidency is that Republicans and Democrats have become more divided.
Mr Obama took indirect aim to Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump who has been criticised for his comments about Muslims and immigrants.
"When politicians insult Muslims, when a mosque is vandalised, or a kid bullied, that doesn't make us safer," Mr Obama said.
"That's not telling it like it is. It's just wrong... And it betrays who we are as a country."
In the year ahead, Mr Obama said he wants to:
He also announced a new national cancer research initiative that Vice President Joe Biden will be leading.
He only mentioned guns briefly, despite a recent policy push for executive actions on gun control, though a chair was left empty in the chamber to symbolise victims of gun violence.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, delivering the Republican response to the address, said Mr Obama "spoke eloquently about grand things", but that his "record has fallen short of his soaring words".
"During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation," she said, likely referring to Mr Trump but not mentioning him by name.
She said Republicans must recognise their role in the declining trust in government in the US.
"We have big decisions to make. Our country is being tested," she said. "But we've been tested in the past, and our people have always risen to the challenge."
Group revenue was flat at £1.1bn in the first half of the year, but investors focused on the dip in sales in China, where the company said trading was "increasingly challenging".
The sales dip feeds into wider concerns about the slowdown in the Chinese economy.
The retailer said it would ramp up cost savings to offset slowing sales.
"The external environment became more challenging during the half, affecting luxury consumer demand in some of our key markets," said Burberry boss Christopher Bailey.
"In response, we have intensified our focus on driving sales and productivity, while taking swift action on discretionary costs."
He said he expected sales to pick up in the second half of the year.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at broker Hargreaves Lansdown, described the results as "underwhelming" and said the group was suffering in Asia and the US, as "general economic malaise" hit demand.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the tremor was felt at Poulton-le-Fylde in the early hours of Friday.
It was a 1.5 magnitude earthquake of intensity level three, recorded at a depth of 2.7km (1.7 miles). No damage or injuries have been reported.
On 1 April, the Blackpool area was hit by 2.2 magnitude tremor which again centred on Poulton-le-Fylde.
According to seismologists, the UK experiences about 20 earthquakes a year of a similar magnitude, the majority of which occur along the west coast.
The largest recorded earthquake experienced in the UK occurred in 1931 and measured 6.1. The epicentre was Dogger Bank in the North Sea.
The bullish former Leicester Tigers director of rugby has signed a two-year deal with Scottish Rugby.
Cockerill is savouring the opportunity to shape and propel a side languishing in the Pro12's lower reaches.
"Edinburgh's had less attention than Glasgow, and it's probably lost its way a little bit," he told BBC Scotland.
Cockerill added: "They want a little bit more direction and I think I can give that. I'm a pretty strong character and leader.
"I want to come and make a difference. I want Edinburgh to be successful. That's not going to happen overnight, but I've got a very strong work ethic, the players will have to work very hard, want to improve and want to win.
"I'm a person that wants to win. However, the reality is that's going to take some time.
"From the inception of the Pro12, Edinburgh have not finished above eighth, so there's clearly got to be a little bit of sorting out to do. There's no way of sugar-coating it, we have to improve."
Cockerill, the former England hooker who spent almost his entire playing and coaching career at Leicester, guided the Tigers to three Aviva Premiership titles before being sacked in January.
Moving from an independently run, wealthy giant of English rugby to work under the aegis of the Scottish Rugby Union, and its director of rugby Scott Johnson, will present a new set of challenges.
"I've had good conversations with Scott and Mark Dodson [Scottish Rugby's chief executive], and I know exactly how that's going to work with the union and the national side," Cockerill said.
"I think I have a good relationship with both of them. I think there are going to be a lot of robust conversations around how things need to be done moving forward and I think that's a healthy thing.
"The player base they've got, the budget and dynamics are different to what I'm used to, but that's good for me. I'm a pretty strong character and I know what I want."
In Edinburgh, Cockerill will be bound by greater financial constraints, a less illustrious playing roster than Leicester or Toulon - where is currently a consultant - and tasked with the aim of producing players of sufficient quality to represent Scotland.
He can't yet say where the squad needs augmented, but emphasises that his priority, where possible, will be to field Scottish talent.
"You have to understand where you sit, what you can and can't buy, and what you can't buy you have to create," Cockerill continued.
"There are lots of players I signed at Leicester that nobody had ever heard of that ended up being exceptionally good - that's going to have to be the case at Edinburgh.
"I signed Ed Slater from Australia - an Englishman who'd played for Nottingham, now he's a mainstay of the Leicester team and toured with England.
"Geoff Parling was on the bench for Newcastle when I signed him - within 12 months he was an international.
"If you have the choice, you will always have local-grown, Edinburgh, Scottish boys playing for your team because that means more to them than anything else. There's nothing better or stronger as a bond than trying to get those types of players into your team.
"There's a lot of young quality in that side that needs to be nurtured and brought through. I don't want Edinburgh to be a holding ground waiting for the Test matches to arrive; I want Edinburgh to be a successful team and I want players that want to play for Edinburgh first and foremost."
Edinburgh's overarching game-plan has long been in a state of oscillation.
Michael Bradley's reign yielded glittering running rugby, but calamitous defence. Alan Solomons, his successor, brought rigidity and grunt, but little else besides. Interim boss Duncan Hodge, in charge since September, is trying to restore a little attacking freedom, but has only won three of 11 Pro12 matches.
"I think Duncan's done a very good job in making the team more expansive and that will continue," Cockerill said. "But clearly we have to develop our players and make sure we're resilient, tough, competitive and robust - all the things the game is built on.
"Clearly, things are going to have to be done a little bit differently, because for whatever reason it's not worked as successfully as people would've liked.
"You have to start somewhere and somewhere is normally a good set-piece, physically committed players, and making sure you're always in the battle. That's something as a player I was always very good at, and most of the time, the sides I've coached have always been very difficult to beat, and I think that's important.
"You have to have a really good balance in your game, and I think Edinburgh have got the players and personnel to do that. I don't think there is one way of playing the game.
"The All Blacks are the best team in the world - they kick the ball more than anyone else. It's how, why and when you kick the ball.
"I know people will think I will want to be just combative - yeah, I want to be combative and have a strong set-piece, but I want to have a side that can play with ball in hand as well, because that will win you games, and win you big games."
Speaking before the launch of an anti-bullying film, Dr Sally Holland said she was keen on restorative justice.
"I don't think it's a good idea just to say 'don't do it again'," she said.
"That's wrong because they don't understand why and I think it's really important people learn about what impact it has."
In a survey carried out by the commissioner last year, of 7,000 children and young people across Wales, the vast majority of seven to 18-year-olds questioned said they wanted bullying to be at the top of her list of priorities.
Dr Holland said she was talking to children and young people about how they wanted the issue to be tackled.
Her comments come as a powerful anti-bullying film featuring pupils from Dyffryn School in Port Talbot is to be premiered.
Called My Life as a Bully, the 45-minute long drama tells the story of a girl who becomes the victim of the school bully and his gang.
A group of 19 pupils play a leading role in the film, with the young actors members of the year 10 and 11 drama GCSE group.
Isabel, aged 15, who is one of the pupils with a part, said: "My line in the film is 'no one deserves to be bullied'.
"For such a simple line it has quite a lot meaning behind it."
Fellow pupil Sebastian said the cast and crew had bonded over the experience.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing the story come together, it's been a jumble of scenes in no particular order but it's going to be really interesting seeing them all edited," he said.
Caroline Michael, head of drama at the school, said: "It's been a great opportunity for them to work with a professional company, professional actors and see the whole process.
Denise Francis, from Baglan-based theatre in education company Firehorse Productions, is behind the film.
She said the decision to choose bullying as a theme came in response to demands from schools keen to get the anti-bullying message to pupils through the medium of film and theatre.
"Bullying is probably the biggest issue schools are dealing with. Time and time again when we are going into schools we're told that the biggest issue children want tackled themselves is bullying," she said.
"If you see bullying going on or you are being bullied yourself it isn't something to be ashamed of and you should speak out and don't be afraid to speak out."
The film will be premiered at Gwyn Hall in Neath on Saturday, 12 November, and will then be available to schools.
Former Cameroon captain Eto'o, 35, wrote on his Instagram account: "Perhaps some people do not feel respect for me because I am black."
Eto'o later made a second post denying the criticism was aimed at Antalyaspor chairman Ali Safak Ozturk.
Ozturk had criticised Eto'o for his performances earlier in the season.
He said at the time: "No player is above the interests of Antalyaspor. Everyone must know their place."
Eto'o called Ozturk his "brother" in his second Instagram post, adding that the Turkish people had supported him "wholeheartedly".
"My message was to a person who criticises me unjustly for years and while he continues his criticisms, I kept winning trophies," the former Barcelona, Chelsea and Everton player wrote.
The Turkish club issued a statement stating Eto'o would have a separate training programme until his case was heard by their executive board.
Three-time Champions League winner Eto'o moved to Antalyaspor in June 2015 as the keystone of the club's bid in the southern Mediterranean resort city to find national and even European success.
But his stint has turned sour in the past weeks amid intense rumours in the close season that he would join Istanbul arch rivals Besiktas.
Tensions have been compounded by a poor start to the new season for Antalyaspor, who have taken only one point from four matches.
She told BBC Radio 4's Farming Today "we have to accept" the process could help production and livestock health.
Her brother, the Prince of Wales, has previously warned GM crops could cause an environmental disaster.
But Princess Anne said: "To say we mustn't go there 'just in case' is probably not a practical argument."
In an interview with the rural affairs programme to be broadcast on Thursday, the 66-year-old Princess Royal said she saw no problem with modifying crops if it improved their ability to grow.
"Gene technology has got real benefits to offer," said Princess Anne, who is a working farmer and patron of nearly 50 countryside organisations.
She said gene technology would "maybe have an occasional downside but I suspect not very many".
She added that she would be happy to use GM for crops and livestock on her own farming estate, Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire.
"We grow some very good plants here remarkably easily," she said. "I don't see the problem in saying 'is there something we could do to improve their abilities?'"
Princess Anne talked about the difficulties she has experienced developing rare-breed cattle, adding long-term investment to develop suitable genetic modification to help improve their health would be a "bonus".
Farming Today has been speaking to a number of leading figures about the future of the environment and farming post-Brexit.
Deep-seated opposition has seen just one GM crop commercially cultivated in the EU over the past 20 years.
In the UK, as in many other countries, there have been several trials, including GM wheat, but nothing has ever been licensed.
However, that could all change as in the House of Commons last autumn, farming minister George Eustice indicated the government was open to re-examining its position with GM crops after the UK leaves the EU.

Princess Anne first entered the debate in 2000, when she said it was a huge oversimplification to say all farming ought to be organic.
Her position appears at odds with her brother's long-standing and vociferous opposition to GM crops.
The Prince of Wales is a royal patron of the Soil Association, which has campaigned against GM crops and ingredients in human and animal food.
He has argued that GM crops damaged the Earth's soil, describing them in 2008 as an experiment "gone seriously wrong".
Speaking from Buckingham Palace, Princess Anne told Farming Today that "GM is one of those things that divides people".
She added: "Surely, if we're going to be better at producing food of the right value, then we have to accept that genetic technology... is going to be part of that.
"How you define what is harmful or what is good seems to be rather more difficult."
In the interview, she also discussed biofuels, the use of science in farming and what kind of subsidies could help farmers in the future.
Hear Princess Anne on BBC Radio 4's Farming Today on Thursday 23 March from 05:45 GMT.
Officers conducted a search at Tiki Tots in Nile Grove and found the class B drug growing in the building's loft space.
Police said parents had been completely unaware of the cannabis.
The cannabis was recovered by police on Tuesday. Officers said they were pursuing a positive line of inquiry.
Det Insp Paul Grainger, of Police Scotland, said: "This building was regularly occupied by young children and their parents who were completely unaware of the cannabis which was being grown within.
"Acting upon intelligence, we executed a search of the premises and made a sizeable drugs recovery.
"Our engagement with the public provides us with invaluable information and by working together we have ensured the safety of local parents and their children, as well as the wider community which these drugs were destined for."

Interim coach Stuart Lancaster is expected to name Scarlets number eight Morgan and Saracens midfielder Farrell in his elite squad on Wednesday.
Asked if Morgan should be in the XV, Dallaglio told BBC Sport: "No, you need some experience in the squad first.
"The lad needs to experience the culture and the environment."
Leadership is really, really important. The more leaders we can get in the squad the better, the likes of Chris Robshaw, Dylan Hartley, Tom Wood
Bristol-born Morgan, 22, has opted to play for his native country rather than Wales, where he has just qualified on the three-year residency rule.
Farrell, 20, has already been mooted as the long-term answer for England at number 10, even though he has spent most of the season playing at centre outside Charlie Hodgson for Saracens.
"Owen Farrell is playing well and England have got some interesting selections at 10," former England captain Dallaglio commented.
"Jonny Wilkinson has retired, Toby Flood looks like he might be injured. Do you think putting Owen Farrell in against Scotland away [in their opening match on 4 February] is a fair baptism? I think Stuart Lancaster might look to the likes of Charlie Hodgson.
"I'd certainly have Farrell in the squad, he is definitely an England number 10 or 12 of the future. I remember Jonny Wilkinson coming into the England team and he made his debut on the wing at home, he didn't make his debut at 10 away from home."
Saracens' 20-year-old Owen Farrell is the talk of the town and sure to be included; he might start at centre if England want a 'second five-eighth' in midfield. Does Lancaster now give Farrell his head at 10? Or turn to his Saracens team-mate Charlie Hodgson, whose distribution skills are still top notch even if his Test career stalled because of defensive concerns.
Who should be in England's elite squad?
Asked who should captain the team in the Six Nations, Dallaglio said: "Leadership is really, really important. The more leaders we can get in the squad the better, the likes of Chris Robshaw, Dylan Hartley, Tom Wood.
"I'm not going to put my neck on the line, it comes down to having a number of different leaders. At the moment it looks like Robshaw and Wood might fit the bill, it's heavily intimated the captaincy is likely to come from one of those two."
Dallaglio, speaking in his role as an ambassador for the 2015 World Cup, added: "England have got a wonderful challenge on their hands.
"We were clearly very disappointed both on the field and off the field throughout the World Cup [in New Zealand in 2011] and it's a chance for us to really turn things around, get the confidence back in the public and people believing in the England team.

"It won't happen overnight but England have got a great chance to build. We'd like to be a lot further ahead in terms of development but perceptions can change very quickly. Careers can be born and made.
"Of course England can win the World Cup, they've got a great chance but we've got to take it one step at a time and reconnect with the fans. In order to win the next World Cup we've got to find some new stars, some Jonny Wilkinsons of 2015 who are really going to take England forward."
The MSP, who is battling against current deputy leader Kezia Dugdale for the job, says he is "confident" he will win the vote.
Ms Dugdale is widely seen as being the favourite to win, but Mr Macintosh said that the momentum was with him.
The result of the ballot will announced next Saturday.
Speaking after an event in Glasgow attended by undecided Scottish Labour members, Mr Macintosh said that his canvas returns still showed that more than 50% of those entitled to vote were yet to make up their minds.
He said that the majority of those who had decided were backing him, adding that "all the switchers" were also moving in his direction.
Ms Dugdale has received 90% of the support from constituency Labour branches who nominated a candidate.
She is also backed by 80% of the local councillors who nominated a leadership candidate, 10 trade union and affiliate groups, and 30 fellow parliamentarians.
But Mr Macintosh said the move to the one-person-one-vote system had helped his campaign.
He claimed Ms Dugdale was the candidate of the party machine, and added: "The good thing for me is that this is not going to be decided by elected representatives, or by the trade unions, it is going to be decided by the members.
"The majority of members are undecided, and whatever switchers there are all going my way. My canvas returns are showing me that I am in the lead and momentum is with my campaign."
Stacey Giggs, 39, was granted a decree nisi during brief proceedings in central London earlier.
The couple married in September 2007 and have two children. Neither party was present at the hearing.
Once a decree nisi has been granted, a divorce petitioner must wait six weeks and a day to apply for a decree absolute to formally end the marriage.
James Brown, a partner with Hall Brown Family Law who is acting for Mrs Giggs, said she was determined to finalise all outstanding aspects of her divorce with as little attention as possible for the sake of her family.
Mr Brown said: "Mrs Giggs' primary focus has always been and will continue to be the welfare of her family.
"Her only interest is in bringing these events to as swift and amicable a conclusion as possible, so that she and her family can move on."
The couple's names appeared as Giggs SA v RJ in a short list of other couples for the "making of a decree or order" under matrimonial and civil partnership proceedings by District Judge Yvonne Gibson at the Central Family Court in High Holborn.
An earlier hearing heard how Giggs claimed he had made a "special contribution" to the creation of wealth during his marriage.
Jo Edwards, an expert in family court litigation, said wealthy people are required to prove they have made a special contribution to avoid the marital pot being split evenly in half.
A ban on naming the pair's children and reporting financial details was put in place at an earlier hearing.
Giggs made a record 952 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 168 goals in a decorated career that saw him win 25 major honours including 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League winner's medals.
Tesco jumped 7% and Sainsbury's added 3.25% after Morrisons reported much better than expected results.

In an interview with BBC Newsnight, Allen said that after she spoke out, a Met officer suggested her "high profile" intervention may have discouraged others from coming forward.
"I think it's victim-shaming and victim-blaming," she said.
The Met says it takes stalking "extremely seriously" and seeks to put victims at the heart of any inquiry.
After giving an interview to The Observer at the weekend expressing her dissatisfaction with elements of the investigation, Allen says she received an email from a Met officer who wrote that "due to the high profile of this matter I fear other victims of similar crimes may have read the story and now may not have the confidence in us to report such matters. As such it is really important I can understand what, if anything, went wrong during the investigation."
The singer says she is concerned that she had to hire her own lawyer to ensure that her stalker, 30-year-old Alex Gray, from Perth, was charged with harassment as well as burglary.
Mr Gray was convicted earlier this month and is now awaiting sentencing.
He first contacted Allen on Twitter in 2008, then began turning up at her home and office and leaving abusive notes and suicide threats. He attended one of her gigs in 2009 holding a banner with a message to her, and last year broke into her flat and bedroom after she accidentally left a door unlocked.
"I'm lying in bed and I can see the door handle moving and then he steams in, starts screaming and shouting... I could see he was really agitated and upset," Lily Allen told Newsnight.
"I recoiled back into my bed and he ripped the duvet off and jumped out of bed and ran around to the other side of the room and he kept shouting at me, but he was very focused on me and it was loud and aggressive and he had something under his jumper."
She says that after repeated requests, police showed her a photo of Mr Gray "for 30 seconds" - but wouldn't let her keep it. As a result, she didn't recognise her stalker when he entered her bedroom.
"It transpires that he had sent an email to his mother saying that he was in London, had come into some money - probably from my handbag - and that he was determined to murder a celebrity. The police didn't tell me that. And I was living in the same flat, on my own," she told Newsnight.
"I was DJing at an event and I came home at about 1 o'clock in the morning to find the handbag that had been stolen on the bonnet of my car... At which point I called the police, and I think it was the next day they installed CCTV on the outside of my house and then a day after that he was arrested."
Lily Allen had first alerted police to the problem in 2009 and gave them the notes as evidence. She assumed that they would be used as part of the 2016 court case, but was told that they had been destroyed "according to police protocol". A panic alarm given to her was also taken away again when Gray left her alone for six months.
In a statement the Met said: "The victim should be at the heart of any investigation into such allegations and kept informed of developments as this work progresses. If this is not the case then we are keen to speak to victims and learn any lessons we can to improve our investigations."
The singer is supporting a campaign by the Women's Equality Party and the stalking advocacy service Paladin to set up a register for serial stalkers.
Up to 700,000 women are stalked each year, with only 1% of stalking cases and 16% of harassment cases recorded by police, according to Paladin.
But Lily Allen said she didn't blame Gray for her ordeal.
"I'm not in the slightest bit angry with Alex Gray. I could see from the minute he came into my bedroom that he was ill and that he needed help.
"I wanted to help - I felt immediately like there's something really wrong with this guy and I feel like he's been let down. I've been let down. And how many other people are being let down?"
Lily Allen was speaking to Kirsty Wark. You can watch the full interview on BBC Newsnight at 22:30 on BBC Two - or afterwards on iPlayer
Chief executive Michael Pritchard praised the duchess for her "talent and enthusiasm" behind the lens.
Kate, 34, took the first official photograph of Princess Charlotte when her daughter was born in 2015.
She had previously published photos from her and Prince William's Asian and Pacific tour in 2012.
Since becoming a mother, the Duchess has released a number of family photos including Prince George's first day at nursery school and Princess Charlotte's first birthday.
Older shots include a photo of Mount Kinabalu, the highest point in Borneo, and a black-and-white image of an orangutan from when she travelled there with Prince William in 2012.
Mr Pritchard said the society chose to recognise Kate for her "long-standing" interest in photography and its history.
"She is latest in a long line of royal photographers and the society is pleased to recognise her talent," he said.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were also patrons of the 1853-founded Royal Photographic Society.
The duchess joins fellow lifetime members Annie Leibovitz, who has photographed the Queen, along with the recently-knighted war photographer Sir Don McCullin.
The Queen herself took cine films to capture family memories and royal trips.
Kate, who graduated in History of Art from the University of St Andrews, is also a patron of the Natural History Museum and National Portrait Gallery.
Her first commission was in 2008 for her parents' company, Party Pieces.
The visit comes a week after the implementation of a nuclear deal that saw economic sanctions against the Islamic republic lifted.
In Rome, Mr Rouhani is expected to sign agreements with Italian firms worth some $18bn (£13bn).
On his second stop in France, he will sign a major plane deal with Airbus.
The Iranian president is leading a 120-member delegation that includes government ministers and businessmen for the five days of meetings in Rome and Paris.
It is the first state visit to Europe by an Iranian leader for 16 years.
In Italy, Mr Rouhani is holding talks with Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
"This is a very important visit," a senior Iranian official was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.
"It's time to turn the page and open the door to co-operation between our countries in different areas," the official added.
The Iranian president is expected to sign a contract with the steel company Danieli, and is also due to meet Pope Francis.
During the second leg in Paris, Mr Rouhani wants to finalise a deal with Airbus for the purchase of 114 aircraft from the European manufacturer.
Tehran is also considering buying planes from US manufacturer Boeing.
Since the 1979 revolution, which brought Islamic clerics to power, Iran has struggled to buy planes and spare parts from the West. Passengers in Iranian airports often wait many hours for ageing jets to be fixed.
To ordinary Iranians, the promise of brand new planes will be the most immediate sign so far that the nuclear deal is making their lives better, the BBC's James Reynolds in Rome reports.
On Saturday, Iran and China signed 17 agreements on a range of issues from energy to boosting trade to $600bn.
International sanctions against Iran were lifted last week after it agreed to roll back the scope of its nuclear activities.
Kent Police said officers were called to the property in Kinross Close, Chatham, at about 17:35 BST, following concerns for a person inside.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a body was found at a house in Kent. | 38,897,995 | 15,425 | 971 | true |
The body of a man in his 40s was found in the Ballydavey Cottages area on Sunday night.
Police are treating the death as suspicious.
They say that Sabzar Bhat was killed when police raided a hideout.
His death will be regarded as a triumph by the Indian security forces but has already led to a wave of protests.
The security forces used tear gas and fired in the air to try to disperse stone-throwing crowds.
Police told the BBC that two other militants were killed with Bhat in a gun battle that raged throughout Friday night.
Six other militants, described by officials as foreign, were killed in a separate incident near the Line of Control, the de-facto border between India and Pakistan in the disputed territory.
Clashes between militants and the security forces have continued into Saturday.
Many shops and businesses have closed and thousands of people are reported to be heading to Bhat's home village in the Tral area of Kashmir, about 30 miles (48km) south of Srinagar, to attend his funeral.
News of his death has also triggered a spontaneous strike across the valley with officials likely to restrict mobile phone and internet access as a precautionary security measure, the BBC's Riyaz Masroor in Srinagar reports.
India 'bombs Pakistan army posts' in Kashmir
Is India losing Kashmir?
India: Kashmir social media ban criticised
Bhat became one of the leaders of Hizbul Mujahideen while serving as an aide to top militant Burhan Wani - who was killed in July 2016.
His death plunged Indian-administered Kashmir into one of the worst episodes of violence in recent years.
The security forces are struggling to prevent a repeat of that this weekend, official sources said.
The group is mostly active in south Kashmir and its paramount leader, Zakir Musa Bhat, is an engineering graduate from a wealthy family in the Tral area.
Hizbul Mujahideen is one of the Kashmir region's largest rebel groups and is believed to favour all of Kashmir being part of Pakistan.
The straw and wood structure was put up on Sunday, the first day of Advent, but was burnt down soon after despite extra security measures.
Last year the famous goat survived until 27 December before arsonists set it alight.
It is the 35th time in 50 years that the goat has been destroyed.
This year the town reportedly spent 2.3m kronor (£200,000; $250,000) on constructing the goat and subsequent festivities.
Closed-circuit TV had been set up to monitor the structure.
Local council official Helene Akerlind told newspaper Gefle Dagblad (in Swedish).: "We'll have more guards. We're going to try to have a 'goat guarantee' the first weekend."
But despite Gavle's best efforts, The Local reports, an arsonist managed to get past a security guard who had briefly left to use the toilet.
The police launched a preliminary investigation but there were no immediate arrests.
The "Gavlebocken" went on Twitter hours after the fire to say it hoped for better luck next year.
The 36-year-old is a free agent after leaving Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy in November.
The Republic of Ireland record appearance holder played for 10 different clubs during his career including Leeds, Liverpool and Celtic.
"I'm not going to dismiss it, but I'm not going to say that the interest is full on," said Grayson.
He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "If Robbie Keane is available then he is a player that is going to attract a lot of interest from a lot of clubs.
"Would we be interested? I'm sure every club in the Championship would be looking forward to an opportunity speak to him."
Asked if he had spoken to Keane, Grayson responded: "I'm not telling you that."
Jamie Frater, 43, of Weymouth, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1993 for the murder of teacher Geoffrey du Rose in Bournemouth.
He had been released on licence but was wanted after a breach on 17 January.
Detectives said Frater had surrendered to police in Bournemouth on Monday night and was now back in prison.
While Frater was on the run, police warned the public not to approach him as he "could present a risk to the public".
He went on the run after failing to return to prison in 2012, but later gave himself up. He also absconded from open prison in 2001.
New York University's Jerry Hultin lists 10 "green future" priorities - such as green energy and innovation - as key areas to ensure future growth.
He also wants to see a system to accelerate the time it takes for ideas to appear in the marketplace.
Mr Hultin outlined his priorities at a high level forum in San Francisco.
"Young people are very excited about the chance to make the world a better place," explained Mr Hultin, who was under-secretary of the US Navy during Bill Clinton's presidency.
"The clock is ticking as far as population growth, consumption etc is concerned. We need to come up with solutions.
"As an under-secretary for the navy and thinking about the stability and defence of the world, solving this challenge is a great opportunity for young people around the world."
Mr Hultin's 10 priorities include:
He said conventional fuel would be one of the "three big things" that will be in short supply in the future.
"Food, fuel and [water] are going to be in short supply when the population rises to nine or 10 billion people by 2050," he told BBC News.
"So green energy, both in terms of how you create it and how you use it, is a critical issue.
"In the United Arab Emirates, there is a lot of interest in green energy because they do not want to consume what is their most valuable source of revenue, which is oil and gas.
"They want to be sure that they have alternative ways to generate and use energy."
Networking key
Mr Hultin will be among speakers at the High Level Forum on Green Future in San Francisco, organised by the Global Science and Innovation Advisory Council (GSIAC) - a joint initiative between the Malaysia Industry-Government Group for High Technology and the New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS).
Malaysia's Prime Minister, Najib Abdul Razak, will be among the speakers at the event.
Mr Hultin identified an area that he felt needed to be unlocked in order for emerging economies to advance.
"The key that I think it missing to (unlock) innovative economies and societies is networking and communication," he suggested.
"We need an open system of ideas getting into the marketplace and tested so then we can see if they are successful or quickly determine that they are not going to work.
"So I put a high value on what I call networking because it is the flow of information, the flow of ideas and the flow of capital."
Art, design, fashion, science and technology will be showcased in the new space at the Edinburgh museum.
More than 3,000 objects will be on display in the galleries, ranging from a bionic hand to ornate furniture.
Around three-quarters of the artefacts have not been exhibited in over a generation.
The redevelopment marks the 150th year of the national museum in Edinburgh's Chambers Street and it is part of an £80m masterplan to transform the building.
The latest stage of the project restores the original Victorian layout and sightlines, but with modern interpretation.
A network of digital labels, audio visual programmes and interactive exhibits have been installed as part of the upgrade.
Science and technology will be the focus of six new galleries and a dramatic atrium in the west wing of the building.
Early aircraft, a three dimensional print of the human brain and Dolly the Sheep are among the items going on display.
Art and design will be showcased in four new galleries at the heart of the museum.
Curators said the collection represents creativity and innovation in sculpture, metalwork, ceramics, glass, furniture, woodwork, dress and textiles.
A new gallery dedicated to fashion and style will feature historic material and the work of eminent designers such as Jean Muir, Mary Quant, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
It is being widely predicted that George Osborne may decide to abandon any further increases in the Carbon Price Floor, introduced in April 2013.
Any freeze in the tax could cut as much as £50 from consumer bills by 2020.
Meanwhile, a BBC survey has suggested that energy bills are the biggest worry for households.
The Carbon Price Floor (CPF) is designed to penalise companies who create pollution, and to encourage investment in green energy.
The merits of freezing the tax have been advocated by an unusual array of allies, including the CBI, manufacturers' organisation the EEF, energy suppliers and consumer groups including Which? and Consumer Futures.
However, those in favour of more investment in green energy are likely to be disappointed. Environmentalists say it could mean fewer wind turbines or solar farms being constructed.
The Carbon Price Floor (CPF) ensures that polluters pay a minimum price for the gas or fossil fuels they burn.
In effect, it is a surcharge on the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EETS), which was designed to tax polluters across the EU.
However, the market price of the right to emit carbon has fallen so much that the EETS is no longer as strong a disincentive to pollute as it was.
But the implementation of the CPF has left many big British companies paying more in tax than their counterparts elsewhere in the EU.
Last year, the CPF added £5 to a typical UK energy bill, according to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
But as the tax is due to be ramped up over the next few years, so too is the contribution from consumers.
"The Carbon Price Floor is set to become a bigger and unnecessary burden on struggling consumers in coming years and we think it should be scrapped," said Richard Lloyd, the executive director of Which?
A BBC survey, meanwhile, has suggested that energy bills are the top worry for consumers.
Cost of living survey
28% say their personal financial situation is causing them stress
19% say they spend more than they earn each month
60% say they have money left over
71% say they don't have more to spend on non-essentials than last year
The survey, conducted by ComRes for BBC Breakfast, concluded that more people worry about paying utility bills or council tax than any other household expenditure.
The cost of food came second, with the cost of petrol and diesel in third place.
The survey also asked whether consumers were expecting their finances to improve in the next 12 months.
Of the 1,000 adults questioned, 28% thought there would be an improvement in their financial situation.
Some 19% of respondents thought their situation would get worse.
A majority (51%) expected it to stay the same.
The expectations contrast with the improvement in the economy, although with wage increases still running below inflation, most people are not yet experiencing an increase in living standards.
More than a quarter of people questioned said their financial situation was causing them stress.
David Henshall told the Manchester Evening News that he came home from work and "found they had barricaded my wife and daughter inside".
He emailed pictures of the work to Virgin Media chief executive Tom Mockridge.
The firm apologised for the inconvenience.
In a statement it said: "Virgin Media expects the very highest standards of work from all its contractors. We will be discussing the matter with the contractors as a matter of urgency."
The home in Bolton was completely surrounded by fencing which in turn protected a newly-dug trench.
"My wife informs me that the workmen left at 2pm with no thought to the fact she could not move her car from our drive and it is stuck now," he told the paper.
The incident does not appear to be an isolated one. On the Virgin Media community website, a member complained last month that workmen "have dug right across the driveway", blocking in a car and covering it in dust.
Another asked this week: "I am trying to find out who to speak to about Virgin laying cables and constantly digging up the road, then making a mess."
In February 2015, Virgin Media announced that it was to invest £3bn in improving its cable broadband service, increasing its network's reach from 13 million to 17 million homes.
The woman, who is now 58, said she realised the nun enjoyed it when she cried so she stopped crying when she was hit.
She lived in Nazareth House in Bishop Street, Londonderry from 1957-1969.
The inquiry is investigating abuse claims against children's residential institutions in NI from 1922 to 1995.
The witness also told the inquiry she was sexually assaulted by two foster carers she was placed with.
When she went back to the home and told the nuns, they said she was talking nonsense.
The woman's evidence also included an allegation of being lined up for baths along with 100 other young girls, and of the same water being used to wash them all.
She said she did not know she had a sibling in the home until one day, when she was six, another of the residents said to her: "I'm your big sister."
Her sister left the home aged 16, the witness claimed, and wanted to take her with her, but that she was too young to go.
She told the inquiry: "I've been trying to search for my sister for a long time since I left the convent but I just can't find her."
The woman said she also searched for her mother but has never found her either.
She said she did not know what age she was or her birthday while she lived in the home.
She also told how she discovered, three years ago, that she had three other siblings, a brother and two sisters, who had been raised by their grandparents.
On Monday afternoon, another former resident, who is now 46, told the inquiry that the nuns put the fear of God into him by locking him in a cupboard as punishment for truanting.
He said he was traumatised when a nun would not let him attend his mother's funeral.
"It was like she ripped my heart out," he said.
The Historical Abuse Inquiry also heard that children at the Sisters of Nazareth Home in Londonderry were routinely given scalding or freezing showers.
The inquiry, being held in Banbridge, County Down, is chaired by retired judge Sir Anthony Hart and is considering cases in 13 residential institutions.
Public hearings are due to finish in June 2015, with the inquiry team to report to the Northern Ireland Executive by the start of 2016.
Mark Golubovic's was travelling in the opposite direction to the lorry on Llanharry Road, Llanharry, when they crashed at about 08:30 BST on Saturday.
The 32-year-old died at the scene and his mother, Irene, was taken to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales after being seriously injured.
His family said they were "heartbroken" over the death.
In a statement, they added: "Mark was a loving dad, son and a great friend to many."
Mr Golubovic's mother is still in intensive care.
All front desks, apart from the one at Sunderland, will only be open during daytime hours from Monday.
The force said most people now reported crime online or via the phone, rather than in person at a police station, and the move would save money.
But Unison said the timescale was too tight and called for a consultation.
The union's regional organiser, Peter Chapman, said the plans would "inevitably" lead to redundancies.
"There may well be a need to discuss how stations provide this service in the future, however Unison believes the plans due to be implemented within the next few weeks are far too radical and the timescale far too tight," he added.
"We call on the force to abandon the current proposals and embark upon a more timely and meaningful consultation with all those involved. "
Northumbria Police said the changes would not affect the availability of officers, and the savings would be used to support operational policing and invest in greater accessibility.
There would also be further investment into the 101 contact centres.
Chief Constable Steve Ashman said: "We are still wrestling with the impact of austerity and the cuts [which] has meant that we have to make difficult decisions whilst striving to deliver the best possible service to our communities.
"We know that the public want to see police officers on the street and we are changing the way we work in order to protect this.
"We also know that residents don't want to have to go to a police station in order to report information; but rather report it in their own home and at a time that is convenient for them."
A machine that can "smell" dollars - like a sniffer dog senses narcotics - is being developed.
For the first time, chemists have captured the unique fragrance of US paper money.
They announced their discovery at the American Chemical Society meeting.
"Money sniffing is an unknown art. No-one had ever tried to find these aromas," said Dr Joseph Stetter, of KWJ Engineering.
"We found that US currency emits a wide range of volatile organic compounds that make a 'fingerprint' we can identify in less than a minute."
His firm is developing a handheld cash detector for border police, called the Bulk Currency Detection System (BCDS).
In the past fiscal year, US officials seized more than $106m in smuggled cash heading to Mexico - the bulk of it laundered drug money.
But that's only a whisker of the estimated $39bn that crosses the border undetected every year - hidden in clothing, baggage and vehicles.
Current checks are done by guards with dogs - but training is expensive and time-consuming.
Airport-style X-ray scanners have had some success detecting currency - but they are large and impractical for busy border checkpoints.
To find a swifter solution, the US Department of Homeland Security made a public challenge to scientists to develop "a device that will search for and identify bulk quantities of currency - secreted on persons, in hand baggage and luggage, and/or in privately owned vehicles."
This money-sniffing machine must pass three intimidating challenges.
First - it must be precise enough to pick up the whiff of dollar bills amid a cacophony of background aromas.
"It has to work even in the presence of car exhaust, perfumes, food, and at a range of temperatures and humidity," said Dr Suiqiong Li, a researcher at KWJ.
"You need a smart algorithm to sort the needle from the haystack."
Next - it has to deliver a reading within seconds at hectic border crossings. There is no time to send samples off to a lab.
And finally, the probe has to be portable - light enough for a guard walking up and down a line of people, and flexible enough to reach inside vehicles or shipping containers.
KWJ has already developed sensors for carbon monoxide detectors and alcohol breathalysers - as modelled by their company mascot panda "Sensor Bear".
To capture the fragrance of money, they collected one hundred used $1 bills in various states - from crumpled and smelly to crisp and shiny.
They sealed the notes in a chamber and warmed them to release vapours at two temperatures: 24C and 40C.
"We saw tremendous variability and contamination - every one of the notes was different," said Dr Stetter.
But a signature common to all of the bills was eventually teased out.
It turns out this odour comes from a set of trace chemicals, including aldehydes, furans and organic acids.
"The amounts are tiny - at best a small fraction of a ppm [part per million]. This presents a formidable analytical challenge," the researchers say.
So does the "smell of dollars" come from the ink? Or the bank note itself? The precise source is not likely to be revealed in a published scientific journal - for security reasons, the researchers say.
But having found the perfume, they now face another daunting technical challenge - building a practical device for border police.
Their design is a backpack with a handheld probe. The pack will house a miniature GC-MS (gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer) of the type already used to detect drugs and explosives.
Ultimately, this could be superseded by an "electronic nose" - a sophisticated sensor array.
To sniff for hidden currency, border guards would pass the probe over clothing or into baggage.
A high-intensity reading would indicate that a large stash of money is concealed.
"You smell like a million dollars" may not be a compliment for much longer.
Officers were called to the Royal Bank of Scotland branch in the town's High Street at about 09:30.
A spokeswoman for the force said officers were at the scene and inquiries were continuing.
It has not yet been established if any cash was taken or if anyone was injured in the incident.
Police said she was hit in the face with a wooden object as she walked with a friend on the Ballymacarrett Road.
The girl, Shannon Thompson, was taken to hospital to be treated for cuts and bruising to her face.
Her attacker was aged 16 or 17, had 5'7", had brown hair and wore a white, red and blue tracksuit.
Shannon Thompson said she and some friends were taking a walk when she heard them screaming and some boys "came out of nowhere".
The teenager said she was then hit with a piece of wood.
"It happened so fast that I actually just blanked out and didn't even know what happened," she said.
"I screamed because I saw the blood coming everywhere."
Shannon said a friend then brought her to her home to be cleaned up.
Her mother, Roseanne Thompson, said she was in a shop when she got a phone call telling her to come home quickly.
"I found her sitting outside my garden. I just cracked up and just wanted revenge, seriously, because I was so angry," she said.
"For the past couple of weeks here, we have constantly been getting attacked in the street, and then this here happens."
Ms Thomson said she believed the attackers were from the nearby Short Strand area.
"I am sick and tired of it. It's a hate crime," she said.
"I can't get the image off my head, the fact of somebody hitting her like that.
"Next time it could be ten times worse."
Sinn Féin councillor Niall Ó Donnghaile said all incidents at the interface that brought hurt, injury and trauma were "to be utterly condemned without reservation".
"News of last night's attack is another incident, in a series of incidents, that have been orchestrated and carried out by gangs of youths on both sides of the interface for weeks now.
"Anyone with any information on last night's attack on this young girl should bring it forward to the PSNI, because it is they who now need to act on bringing an end to these violent incidents.
"The reality of all of this is that it's our neighbours on both sides of the interface who are left to pick up the pieces.
"Last night's attack in no way represents the people of the Short Strand and my thoughts are with the young girl concerned and I wish her a very speedy recovery."
Ulster Unionist MLA Michael Copeland said he felt "a mixture of sadness and anger" at the incident.
"Shannon lives on a street which itself is attacked on a fairly regular basis by golf balls, bolts, stones and slates.
"She doesn't feel safe in her own home. She goes out to leave a couple of friends home and finds herself attacked in the street.
"I suppose the question is, what are the police doing?"
Police have appealed for anyone with information about the incident to contact Strandtown police station.
Theo Walcott's cool fifth-minute finish from Alexis Sanchez's pass put the Gunners in control at the interval - but the second half brought a familiar painful fate for manager Arsene Wenger and his players.
As at Everton on Tuesday, they were overpowered and the credits were rolling once Leroy Sane ran on to David Silva's pass to beat Petr Cech with Arsenal appealing in vain for offside.
Mesut Ozil shrank from the occasion and wandered around aimlessly and ineffectively
City were on a roll and Arsenal were on the rack, the winner coming 19 minutes from time when Raheem Sterling was the beneficiary of Kevin de Bruyne's brilliant pass to arrow a low finish past Cech at his near post.
It bolstered City's title ambitions, although they are still seven points behind leaders Chelsea and completed a damaging double for Arsenal as they now lie nine points behind Antonio Conte's side.

Manchester City needed their main man when they trailed at half-time - and in the absence of the suspended Sergio Aguero that role is assumed by De Bruyne.
And how the Belgian responded, delivering a virtuoso second-half performance crowned by that superb pass that led to Sterling's winner.
De Bruyne was the driving force behind City's second-half transformation that saw Pep Guardiola's team wrestle control from Arsenal with a change of tempo and intensity that was simply too much for Arsenal to resist.
The same could not be said for Arsenal's elite players and the main culprit was Mesut Ozil who, as in the fierce atmosphere of Goodison Park on Tuesday, shrank from the occasion and wandered around aimlessly and ineffectively on the game's periphery.
Ozil is in the middle of what are likely to be very lucrative contract negotiations. Performances like this will diminish his hand in the bargaining rather than strengthen it.
Manchester City and Guardiola knew a lot was riding on two home games this week after the result, and the manner of the 4-2 defeat at Leicester City last Saturday.
City simply had to beat Watford and Arsenal, the stakes even higher after Chelsea stretched their lead to nine points with victory at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
A draw was no use to either side here - so the notion of defeat was even more unpalatable.
City were on the brink as they were behind at half-time but Guardiola responded by sending on Bacary Sagna for Pablo Zabaleta and Sane, who had been out on the wing, was soon racing through to score from a central position.
It was a win City needed desperately and its importance was illustrated by the celebrations at the final whistle.

Just when some of the old doubts about Arsenal's resilience and resistance to pressure seemed to be receding, all the familiar questions will return after the way they have lost a lead and slumped to defeat at Everton and now at Manchester City.
Arsenal looked in calm control holding the advantage on both occasions but have twice found themselves broken by physical presence and the greater intensity of opponents who were simply prepared to dig deeper.
Wenger was wearing a familiar frustrated expression at the final whistle.
And at the back of many Arsenal minds will be the familiar tales and pain of previous seasons when promise and potential ended in title under-achievement.
It's Boxing Day action for both teams. Arsenal are at home to West Brom (15:00 GMT) and City are at Hull (17:15 GMT).

Sarah Outen, from Rutland, had been travelling around the world using only a kayak, bike and rowing boat.
But she was forced to abandon her craft Happy Socks after 143 days at sea because of worsening weather conditions and hurricane Joaquin.
She is now aboard the Federal Oshima which will reach Montreal in a week.
The 30-year-old had been expected to reach the UK in September after setting off from Cape Cod in May but strong winds slowed her progress.
On Saturday it was announced she had taken the decision to seek help after winds of up to 60 knots (69mph), large waves and two low pressure system predicted to hit in the coming days.
Close to tears in a recording for her website, Ms Outen said: "In the next few hours I'm going to get a call from passing ships to say they are coming to pick me up.
"That's right. I'm getting off this ocean... because we have a hurricane forecast heading this way next week.
"With conditions more severe than those that led to me being rescued from the north Pacific, it felt like there wasn't really much of a choice."
She added that she shed "lots of tears" at the thought she might have to abandon her trusty boat but was smiling at the amazing memories.
Since recording the message she was rescued by the cargo ship which is en route to Canada but Happy Socks had to be left behind.
Ms Outen was the first woman to row solo across the North Pacific in 2013 having previously failed in an attempt because of a tropical storm.
They leave "smelly footprints" behind on the plants that they've already eaten from, so that other bees know whether it's a good source of food.
For example, the invisible, smelly markers can let other bees know if a flower is full of good food.
Or it could signal that the food has already all been eaten.
Researchers said that bees can also tell the difference between footprints left by themselves, their family, or strangers.
Clever bees!
Dr Will Bowden of Nottingham University is trying to identify the settlement as a market town or an armed camp and said evidence indicates it could be either.
The Latin town name Venta Icenorum at Caistor St Edmund, near Norwich, is translated as the market of the Iceni, the tribe that lived there, he said.
The modern name Caistor comes from the Latin Castrum, a military camp.
Experts have been digging test pits in gardens of the modern village.
Evidence has already been uncovered that shows an early Iron Age town well beyond the protective walls of the known Roman settlement.
Dr Bowden, working with the Norfolk Archaeological Trust. said: "Most Roman towns were built up on existing Iron Age settlements or were newly established military centres.
"Our surveys have shown defensive ditches enclosing a much larger area than is covered by the street grid of the Roman town.
"This indicates the earliest nucleus of the town extended to the north and is under parts of the modern village."
Dr Bowden said the Iceni occupied most of Norfolk and parts of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire so this town was in the heart of their territory.
The digging is going to continue to get an insight into the life of the town both during the Iron Age and after the Roman occupation.
Dr Bowden said: "Often in test pits very little is found but in Caistor we have found coins and pottery from as early as the 1st Century AD.
"This has been quite exciting for us and the villagers who are discovering archaeology in their own gardens."
The document commits the party to attempting to "change the direction of our country on independence and Brexit".
Party leader Willie Rennie said the Lib Dems would strongly oppose another "divisive" independence referendum.
But the party wants a referendum on the final terms of the Brexit deal.
The Liberal Democrats had one MP in Scotland after the 2015 election, but are hopeful of picking up more seats in the election on 8 June.
The party has proposed adding a "modest" penny on income tax in order to invest additional money in education and mental health.
The manifesto calls for new mental health services in every GP practice, A&E department, police division and school, and sets out a new five-point offer on mental health for new mothers.
It also pledges to keep the triple-lock on the state pension, and to scrap the Conservatives' two-child rule for tax credits - including the controversial "rape clause".
Among the other key proposals are:
The Liberal Democrats say they are now the only party campaigning for Scotland to remain in both the UK and EU single markets.
As he unveiled the manifesto, Mr Rennie said: "This is the chance to change the direction of the country and to build a brighter future.
"We can turn away from another divisive independence referendum and a damaging hard Brexit. Instead with a modest penny on tax we can invest in our people.
"This will get Scottish education back up to the best in the world again so that people have the skills to drive our economy. It will get people the mental health treatment they need so they can contribute too."
The Lib Dems they took comfort from some constituency gains in last year's Holyrood elections.
And this time around, back with a Westminster contest, they are quietly hopeful about picking up two or three seats to add to their island redoubt of Orkney and Shetland.
As with the Tories and Labour, they are targeting the SNP. The choice of target is, of course, rather delineated by the result in 2015 when the Nationalists won 56 out of 59 Scottish seats.
As with the Tories and Labour, they are targeting the SNP's core objective of independence, to be achieved via a referendum.
Spin doctors for said parties have been competing with each other to condemn indyref2 in suitably strident tones of disgust.

Mr Rennie also said his party could not work in a coalition government with Labour or the Conservatives, or support either party in an unofficial arrangement, because they both back Brexit.
And he claimed voters were switching to his party from the SNP in target seats as he accused the nationalists of hitting a "low" in personal campaigning.
He added: "I've been astonished at the rage that there is out there, including from some people who did vote for the SNP last time, and they want to stop it now.
"They are just spitting mad at the SNP at how they have banged on about independence all the time and think it's got to stop, and they are going to use this election to do so."
When he launched the party's UK manifesto earlier this month, Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said the public had the choice to "change Britain's future".
He said that while he accepted the result of last year's EU referendum, he still believed the UK would be "better off and safer" within the EU.
Mr Rennie has claimed there is no contradiction between supporting another EU referendum while opposing one on independence, arguing that people knew what they were voting for when they rejected independence in 2014.
The Liberal Democrats are the last of Scotland's five major parties to launch their manifesto.
The SNP unveiled theirs on Tuesday, with Nicola Sturgeon calling for a second independence referendum to be held at the end of the Brexit process in order to prevent it being "imposed on Scotland, no matter how damaging it turns out to be".
Ms Sturgeon was campaigning in Fife on Wednesday, where she said SNP MPs would push for immediate action to "restore fairness" for people on low income.
She added that the SNP would support increases in the minimum wage to match the real living wage, an end to the public sector pay cap, and restoring fairness in the social security system.
The Conservatives and Labour are opposed to second referendums being held on either independence or Brexit.
Responding to the Lib Dem manifesto launch, Scottish Labour's James Kelly said a vote for the Mr Rennie's party would "just let the SNP back in".
He added: "In the vast majority of seats across Scotland the Lib Dems are not at the races, and every Lib Dem supporter who wants a MP who will fight both a second independence referendum and a hard Brexit must back Labour - or they will end up with a Nationalist MP once again."
The Scottish Conservatives highlighted social media posts by a current Liberal Democrat candidate who said in 2014 that she would be voting Yes in the independence referendum.
Tory candidate Kirstene Hair said: "If Willie Rennie wants to re-brand himself as the defender of the Union, he should explain why he's backing independence-supporting candidates."
A video purporting to show the 47-year-old taxi driver being beheaded has been released by Islamic State (also known as IS, ISIS and ISIL) militants.
He had been delivering aid to Syria in December when he was kidnapped and then held hostage by IS.
When I arrived here about half an hour after the news broke on Friday night, people who knew Alan Henning well said they simply couldn't comprehend what had happened.
With Islamic clerics and so many other people around the world putting pressure on Islamic State to release Mr Henning there was a modicum of hope - people genuinely thought he would survive.
And so it was such a crushing blow on Friday night when they discovered that he had apparently been murdered in such a horrible way.
Speaking to taxi driver Mike Hyde - one of Mr Henning's former colleagues - he broke down in tears. He said he had had to come out on his own and drive around to try to get his head around what had happened.
Mr Hyde, a man usually known to Mr Henning as "Rambo", said: "I am just heartbroken - I can't speak, really. He was just doing his best, you know?
"He was just a nice ordinary man, making a living like all of us. I've never heard him say a bad word about anybody."
Mr Hyde described what his friend, who was widely known as Gadget or Gadge because of his uncanny ability to fix anything, as "fun to be with - we used to work nights all the time together and he'd cheer you up.
"I spoke to him about these convoys and he just wanted to make a difference. When he went on one, he enjoyed it and said 'you should come on one too'."
Many other cabbies I spoke to were too upset to speak on tape, but they just could not understand why anybody would do this to a man who had gone out to Syria to help refugees displaced by a terrible civil war.
They pointed out that Mr Henning didn't have to go out to Syria - he didn't have any political connections and he just wanted to help people in their hour of need.
While there was understandably a degree of anger here, with comments like "the Islamic State are just barbarous killers" and "they are psychopaths", people were at pains to tell me they did not want any comeback for Muslims living in Eccles and the wider Greater Manchester area.
"They [Islamic State] don't represent Islam," was something I heard time and again, echoing a statement from the Manchester Council of Mosques, which said: "This was a cowardly and criminal act of appalling brutality by a group who do not represent Islam and are an insult to the Islamic faith.
"We will remember him as a tireless and selfless humanitarian aid worker whose only concern was to help people in need."
Mr Hyde said: "There's quite a big Muslim community here - everybody gets on fine, really, and let's hope that continues.
"I just hope there's no backlash over here - but the people who are responsible for this should get everything that is coming to them.
"You've just got to throw the book at these people now - gloves are off. Enough's enough. They've obviously got no heart whatsoever, no humanity."
That view was shared by many others.
One former soldier urged the government to extend its military remit from solely carrying out airstrikes in Iraq. He said: "It's time for boots on the ground."
For now though, the community here just wants to come to terms with what has happened, and to respect a man they will always fondly remember as somebody who paid the ultimate price while trying to make a difference in a faraway land.
Wolves, beaten by St Helens and bottom-of-the-table Huddersfield in their past two games, never looked like losing again as they led 30-6 at half-time.
Kevin Penny, Joe Westerman and Stefan Ratchford all scored twice as Wolves went above Wigan on points difference.
Kurt Gidley and Ben Westwood also crossed, with Joe Mellor, Stefan Marsh and Corey Thompson replying for Widnes.
Gidley landed seven goals and Ratchford one as Warrington converted all eight of their tries.
The Vikings had won their past three home games against Tony Smith's side but never looked like making it four in a row as Warrington completed the double over their local rivals after winning the reverse fixture 28-10 last month.
That victory on Good Friday was Warrington's seventh in a row in a perfect start to the season, but they have wobbled since with three defeats in four games before this convincing win.
Widnes also started the season well, winning six of their first seven games but have slipped into mid-table after five successive league defeats.
Denis Betts' side were soon behind as Gidley sped past Chris Dean and Penny scored in the corner. Mellor cut the deficit only for Warrington to ease clear as Westerman touched down either side of Westwood stretching for the line.
Thompson went in at the corner after the restart to give Widnes hope, but Penny darted over before Ratchford grabbed a late brace either side of Marsh's consolation.
Warrington coach Tony Smith: "We were flat last week and this was a very good response.
"We had no energy last week but we did tonight. We started well, controlled the game and were full of energy.
"The players wanted to respond and they did it emphatically. Widnes defended strongly in patches and I don't think their effort reflected the scoreline."
Widnes coach Denis Betts: "We were poor and gave them too many opportunities.
"We lost the game because we couldn't tackle or defend and I don't know where our confidence has gone.
"Joe Mellor and Chris Houston worked their socks off but this is a tough one to take.
"Warrington were very good but we allowed them to be very good. We lacked energy and Kurt Gidley did just what he wanted."
Widnes: Hanbury, Thompson, Bridge, Runciman, Marsh, Mellor, Brown, O'Carroll, White, Dudson, Dean, Houston, Cahill.
Replacements: Heremaia, Manuokafoa, Sa, Leuluai.
Warrington: Russell, Penny, R. Evans, Atkins, Johnson, Gidley, Ratchford, Hill, Clark, Sims, Hughes, Currie, Westerman.
Replacements: G. King, Cox, Jullien, Westwood.

The changes fall short of a fully global season but the northern and southern hemisphere schedules have been more closely aligned.
It means tier-two nations - such as Fiji, Japan and Georgia - will get more chance to play the world's elite teams.
There will be fewer matches, particularly in the year after a World Cup, but the Six Nations is unchanged.
The BBC reported exclusively on the draft proposals back in September, and the final agreement is very similar to that first revealed on this website.
World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont had suggested in May that the annual Six Nations Championship could move to April to help ease pressure on the calendar.
It will instead remain in its traditional February-March slot, although discussions continue about changing the length of the tournament.

The five rounds are currently spread over seven weeks with two 'rest' weekends.
As well as France and England's tours of the Pacific Islands, Georgia and Romania have been guaranteed home matches against Six Nations teams each July.
The Six Nations teams will also collectively guarantee a minimum of six matches against tier-two opposition during each set of autumn internationals.
World Rugby's plan sets out a minimum of 110 matches between tier-one and tier-two nations between 2020 and 2032, which it claims is an increase of 39% on the previous schedule.
Margaret Drozdowicz has agreed to resign from her post under the terms of a settlement at Belfast High Court.
The Trust is also to pay Dr Drozdowicz's legal costs.
Dr Drozdowicz sued for alleged breach of contract linked to her exclusion from the South West Acute Hospital in County Fermanagh in 2013.
But after a week-long hearing, Mr Justice Stephens was told the parties had arrived at a settlement, with no admission of liability.
The anaesthetist, a Polish national, came to Northern Ireland to work within the NHS in 2005.
By 2009 she had become lead consultant in obstetric anaesthesia at the hospital.
But by 2011, her relationship with some medical colleagues was said to have broken down.
She was subjected to restrictions following a number of complaints from other staff at the hospital, who accused her of unprofessional behaviour.
Her exclusion came after a medical colleague was no longer prepared to supervise her.
Dr Drozdowicz claimed she had been isolated and ostracised by colleagues after she performed an audit on the efficiency of theatres within the hospital.
She alleged it raised serious concerns about the value for money from theatre use and employment of consultants.
According to her, the trust failed to properly investigate her complaints.
She also claimed that her actions led to 13 unfounded grievances against her from colleagues.
She alleged the complaints were an attempt to discredit her after she raised issues about theatres being used for private practice during NHS hours and the use of a drug to counteract deep vein thrombosis.
The Trust disputed her allegations and the court was told an investigation has not upheld her concerns.
There is no suggestion of any harm to patients.
During proceedings, Dr Drozdowicz alleged that a dying patient had received substandard care after being brought to the hospital in 2013.
The 64-year-old man was suffering from complaints including pneumonia.
In cross-examination, it was alleged that Dr Drozdowicz was raising her voice and frantically waving ECG forms about within the critical care unit.
A nurse was said to have told her to keep her voice down amid concerns the patient's relatives may witness her actions.
Following out-of-court discussions, it was announced that the breach of contract action has been resolved.
Dr Drozdowicz's solicitor said: "My client is relieved at the outcome, which will see her make a clean break from her employment with the Trust."
The Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) is one of three organisations set to benefit from a memorial fund set up following the death of Mrs Cox in June.
The Batley and Spen MP 41, was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire.
The latest tranche of fines will also be used to fund D-Day veteran visits to Normandy and to help excavate the HMS Invincible shipwreck in the Solent.
Live updates on this story and others in West Yorkshire
Announcing the donation to the RVS, chancellor George Osborne said: "It is right that funding from those in the banking industry who demonstrated the worst of values goes towards people who display the very best of British values.
"Jo Cox dedicated her life to bringing people together and making a difference.
"She was an inspiration to people across the world and I am proud to give the Royal Voluntary Service this funding in her memory to continue their vital work."
The memorial fund - which is also supporting Hope not Hate and the White Helmets - has raised nearly £1.5m since it was set up.
Full list of donations:
An inquest into Mrs Cox's death was opened and adjourned last month after hearing she died from multiple stab and gunshot wounds.
Thomas Mair, 52, from Birstall, faces charges of murder, grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon in connection with the attack on Mrs Cox.
The 21-year-old led by a set and 4-2 but could not convert his lead into victory and Gasquet came through 3-6 7-5 6-2 in Antwerp.
Edmund was playing in his first ATP semi-final, having lost quarter-finals in Doha, London and Beijing this year.
He is still set to break into the top 40 for the first time on Monday.
That would see the Englishman join Australian Nick Kyrgios and Germany's Alexander Zverev as the only players aged 21 or under that high in the world rankings.
Gasquet will face Diego Schwartzman in the Antwerp final after the Argentine saved two match points on his way to beating Belgian top seed David Goffin 7-5 2-6 7-5.
In the doubles semi-final, Britain's Dom Inglot and Brazilian Andre Sa lost 6-3 6-2 to French top seeds Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut.
Suzanne Hughes was last seen at about 22:30 BST on the 17 July in Cromer, Norfolk, where she was holidaying with her husband, daughter and grandson.
Her husband Alan claimed it was "out of character" for the 67-year-old, from Solihull, to go missing.
He said he woke at about midnight to discover his wife was not in the house and the front door was open.
Coastguards and a police helicopter have been involved in the search for Mrs Hughes, and Norfolk police said "a large amount" of CCTV footage has been examined.
Shelbie Forgan, 22, and two former colleagues deny child cruelty offences at Bright Sparks nursery in Taibach before it closed.
A work placement student has told Swansea Crown Court she saw a child "flung" by the wrist by a staff member.
But on the defence case's second day, Ms Forgan rejected cruelty claims.
She told the jury: "If I had witnessed something that caused me concern I would have reported it.... even if it meant losing my job."
The prosecution has claimed young children were force-fed and manhandled.
It said, while children were not badly injured or beaten, the treatment of some was so heavy-handed it amounted to "wilful assault".
But giving evidence on Tuesday, co-defendant Christina Pinchess, 31, the former deputy manager, told the court she felt "shocked and surprised" when allegations were made against her.
Jurors have been told she voluntarily attended the police station on a number of occasions and answered detectives' questions.
During cross-examination by prosecuting counsel David Scutt, Ms Pinchess was asked if she had ever force-fed a child after losing her patience.
She replied: "No. If they didn't want the food then it would be taken away."
Bright Sparks' former owner Katie Davies, 32, who is also on trial, said more than £100,000 had been spent on setting it up - which she said was her "lifelong dream".
She told jurors she had taken great care in running the business and would never have jeopardised it by "doing anything half-baked".
On claims of mistreatment, she said: "I would have never let it happen at my nursery."
The court was also told the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales had been "impressed" with the nursery, after two unannounced inspections.
All three defendants deny causing cruelty to a person under the age of 16.
The trial continues.
Delegates will be gathering with next year's Holyrood elections just six months away, and polls suggesting the party is trailing far behind the SNP.
Scottish Labour has said it wants to use the conference to encourage voters to "take a fresh look" at the party.
UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is also due to address the conference.
Labour remains committed to renewing the Trident nuclear weapons system, which is based at Faslane on the Clyde, despite it being strongly opposed by Mr Corbyn.
Delegates at the party's UK conference in Brighton voted to debate other issues rather than Trident last month.
Scottish members are to decide on Friday morning whether a motion opposing Trident renewal should be discussed on Sunday.
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale told the BBC she understood the strength of feeling on the issue.
And she said that if a new fleet of nuclear-armed submarines was not ordered, the money saved should go to the communities that lose out.
She seemed relaxed about Scottish Labour potentially having a different position from the UK party, and said there would be a process for reaching agreed manifesto positions on contentious issues, and where this is not possible, there could be a system of "agreed abstention".
Labour's only surviving Scottish MP has also insisted the party could have different policies on the renewal of Trident north and south of the border.
Shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray said moves to make the party north of the border more autonomous meant it could "have a different position on anything it wants".
Ahead of the conference, Lothians MSP and former Scottish Labour leadership contender Neil Findlay, who is an ally of Mr Corbyn in his opposition to nuclear weapons, said the party cannot take a "a head-in-the-sand approach" when delegates are asked to decide on Friday whether or not to hold a Trident debate.
Writing in the conference bulletin of the Labour Campaign for Socialism, Mr Findlay warned his party: "If we shy away from discussing this issue, we can be sure that others won't be slow in pointing out our reluctance to do so."
The GMB union has also written party members warning that cancelling the Trident replacement would threaten thousands of defence jobs in Scotland.
Scottish Labour suffered a devastating defeat in May's general election, with the party losing 40 of its 41 seats to the SNP, which has pledged to remove nuclear weapons from Scottish waters.
But it has reported a jump in membership since Mr Corbyn became UK party leader last month.
In his speech, Mr Corbyn is expected to present Labour as a socialist alternative to the SNP. He will also challenge Conservative tax credit cuts and Scottish government cuts in education.
He will add: "If you're satisfied with rising inequality, rising child poverty and widening health inequalities, then Labour is not for you. If you're satisfied that nearly a million people in Scotland are in fuel poverty or that half of all housing in Scotland falls short of official quality standards, then Labour isn't for you."
Mr Corbyn last week backed Ms Dugdale's proposals for Scottish Labour to be given greater autonomy over areas such as policy making, candidate selection and membership.
Debate over the position of the party in Scotland has raged since last year's independence referendum, after which former leader Johann Lamont resigned after claiming the London leadership treated it like a "branch office".
Ms Dugdale, who will also use the conference to announce new plans to help more youngsters leaving care to go on to university, will say that Labour is "well aware of the challenges we face" after receiving a "resounding message from the voters in May".
She will add that while that message was "painful", there is "now a new generation of leadership has taken up the challenge of renewing our party".
And she will insist that the party saying the party is "confident about the future" and "upbeat about the opportunities that come in a changing world".
Ms Dugdale will say: "I'm of a generation that has grown up with the Scottish Parliament as the centre of Scottish politics.
"We start this conference more ambitious for our parliament, more upbeat about the future, more determined than ever to stand up to the Scottish establishment.
"We can be the party that people put their trust in once again. It won't happen overnight. But the changes we are making under my leadership will make us fit for the future."
Plans for young people leaving care to receive full grant support, worth £6,000 a year, if they make it to university will also be unveiled by Ms Dugdale.
She will tell a fringe event at the conference that youngsters who are in care "are some of the most vulnerable in our communities", adding that the "reality is that they are more likely to go to jail than university".
The Scottish Labour conference can be watched live online from 09:50 to 11:50 and from 14:05 to 16:05 on Friday, and from 13:40 to 15:40 on Saturday. Conference 2015: Scottish Labour Party will also be shown on BBC Two Scotland on Saturday.
After buying the Ayrshire resort in 2014, the US presidential hopeful vowed to spend £200m on renovating it.
Accounts filed last week with Companies House revealed that his organisation had invested just £18m by the end of 2015.
But on Friday, his representatives said that figure had now risen to £150m.
In a statement, a spokesman for the Trump Organisation said: "The accounts submitted to Companies House reflect the financial year from 2015 and the first phase of the renovation, which included the clubhouse, the Wee Links pitch and putt and selected function spaces within the hotel.
"To date, the total expenditure equals around £150m, with the large majority of the work taking place through the year of 2016."
The spokesman said work had included "transforming" the Ailsa golf course, introducing a grand ballroom, refurbishing the 103-bedroom Turnberry hotel and adding a two-bedroom luxury suite and halfway house to the Turnberry Lighthouse.
He added: "Construction is currently taking place on Trump Turnberry's second course, following consultation with golf architect Martin Ebert, with further, extensive, renovation planned for The Spa at Turnberry and the Villas at Trump Turnberry."
Meanwhile, representatives of Mr Trump have blamed "exhaustive red tape" and planning system "obstacles" for hampering progress in developing his Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire.
The Trump Organisation had envisaged about 6,000 construction jobs and 2,000 operational posts over the long-term, multi-phased development at Menie, which Mr Trump opened in July 2012 after a lengthy battle with local people and environmentalists. Mr Trump also attempted to block plans for an offshore wind farm near his course.
Company accounts up to the end of 2015 showed only 95 people were employed on average last year.
Sarah Malone, from Trump International Golf Links, told BBC Scotland that in addition to "core staff", the company provided work for more than 50 caddies and supported "countless businesses and service providers locally and nationally".
She said: "To date over 500 people have been engaged in the first phase of construction and development, and we continue to retain a leading team of regional and national consultants including planners, engineers, architects, designers and environmental experts on the creation of future phases.
"I should highlight that had it not been for the exhaustive red tape and obstacles presented through the planning system, the pace of our project would have been accelerated."
Ms Malone said it was "nothing short of ridiculous" that it had taken 40 planning applications, 24 planning hearings, a full public inquiry and parliamentary hearing just to build phase one.
She also said the company had also been forced to "waste valuable resources, money and time" on fighting the location of an offshore wind farm near the property.
"The system has not supported big investment, it has made it extremely difficult," she added.
Donald Trump's two Scottish golf courses together lost about £9.5m last year.
Trump Turnberry made a loss of almost £8.4m, while Menie lost nearly £1.1m.

The state prosecutor has described the shooting as "chilling" and warned that the video will "tear at the hearts" of people in Chicago when it is made public on Wednesday.
She set out the state's case against the officer, Jason Van Dyke, and what she has ascertained about his actions that night in 2014.
Mr Van Dyke maintains he feared for his life when he opened fire, because the teenager was armed with a knife.
Here is what prosecutors say happened, in numbers.
McDonald was holding a knife with a three-inch blade when police spotted him and pulled over. Officer Van Dyke was not among the first officers to attend.
The teenager had slashed the tyre on one of the patrol cars and there was a stand-off between him and the officers.
There were no words spoken by McDonald during the incident. He said nothing in response to numerous verbal commands to drop the knife, police said.
The first responding officer said he did not see the need to use force.
But an officer armed with a Taser was requested to attend and deal with the situation but none arrived.
Officer Van Dyke, who arrived in a patrol car with a partner, was at the scene for less than 30 seconds before he started shooting.
He was out of his car for approximately six seconds before he opened fire.
According to police dashcam video, the time was exactly 9:57:36 on the October 2014 night when the officer opened fire.
There were eight officers present but only one fired his or her weapon.
Officer Van Dyke's gun was a nine-millimetre calibre semi-automatic pistol with a capacity of 16 rounds.
Officer Van Dyke shot the teenager 16 times. The 16 fired cartridge cases police recovered at the scene were all from his weapon.
About 14-15 seconds elapsed between the time the first shot was fired and the last. An eyewitness told police he heard a pause after the initial shots, and then more gunfire. The prosecutor says the video shows how McDonald's body jerked and his arm moved slightly.
McDonald was lying on the ground for 13 of these seconds as the shots were fired. Officer Van Dyke was preparing to reload when his partner, who could hear McDonald struggling to breathe, told him to hold his fire.
The prosecutor said the teenager still had a pulse when paramedics arrived but was declared dead at the hospital. | A 53-year-old man has been arrested following the death of another man in Holywood, County Down.

The five-part series has received 3m requests on the catch-up service, more than the England v Wales match at Euro 2016 - which had 2.8m requests.
Seven of the 20 most popular iPlayer programmes were on BBC Three, which moved online earlier this year.
Murdered By My Father and the first episode of Greg Davies comedy Cuckoo each received more than 1.5m requests.
Other shows to pass the 1m request mark in 2016 included Fleabag, Life And Death Row, The Insider with Reggie Yates and Stacey Dooley documentary Sex In Strange Places.
BBC Three's iPlayer popularity comes in spite of it now offering fewer programmes.
When it became an online service in February, many shows - such as Don't Tell The Bride and Family Guy - were bought by other networks.
But the network continued to produce original programming for iPlayer and its other online services, including a bespoke YouTube channel.
Speaking about the latest figures, BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh said: "These are still early days for BBC Three and I'm incredibly proud of what we have achieved in such a short space of time."
"Reinventing the BBC's offer for young people won't happen overnight, it's a marathon not a sprint, but the early signs are very encouraging."
As part of BBC Three's move online, the channel committed to spending 20% of its £30m budget on non-TV content including written articles, animations and social media content, in an attempt to attract younger audiences.
The BBC Trust, which approved the move, said there was "clear public value in moving BBC Three online, as independent evidence shows younger audiences are watching more online and watching less linear TV".
However, commercial rivals claim that the amount of time young viewers consuming BBC content has fallen since BBC Three ceased broadcasting on television.
Thinkbox TV, whose shareholders include Sky, ITV and Channel 4, published a report on Monday suggesting commercial TV viewing by young people increased after BBC Three went online.
ITV2, which broadcasts a considerable number of youth-focused programmes such as Love Island, Family Guy and Celebrity Juice, saw an increase of 27% year-on-year in time viewers spent watching the channel between March and June.

Roared on by a noisy 24,000 crowd, Tigers dominated the set-piece and Tom Youngs' try from a catch-and-drive was ample reward for their ferocity.
Owen Williams' kicking kept the visitors at bay, with four penalties.
Ross Batty's try and George Ford's penalty gave Bath bonus-point hope, but Ford missed the required conversion.
England centre Kyle Eastmond limped off early on in the match, replaced by Ollie Devoto, and Bath missed his creativity and dynamic running at 12 throughout.
Sam Burgess made his first Premiership start and crashed over the line but was denied a first senior try in rugby union by a forward pass in the build-up.
Mike Ford's side found the Tigers' defence in relentless mood, while there was a spiteful tinge at times to a contest that bore little resemblance to the one-sided thrashing at the Rec, as Leicester blitzed their opponents with a brutal first-half display.
Bath, who had taken an early lead through Ford's penalty, were denied their usual fluid style by their opponents' industry and the soggy conditions.
The opening try was a team effort; Tigers rumbling over a maul that presented a try for hooker Tom Youngs, while the visitors' indiscipline gave fly-half Williams the chance to clip over a brace of three-pointers.
Referee Matthew Carley was kept busy, denying Burgess his first Premiership try, while captains Ben Youngs and Stuart Hooper were brought together in a bid to restore order.
Only dogged defence prevented a further Leicester score after a grinding 20 phases, while Ford missed from the tee as Bath failed to take the chance to narrow the half-time deficit.
Williams' boot continued to turn the scoreboard in Tigers' favour during the second period, and a rapidly clotting surface brought further footwork problems.
Having struggled to compete for much of the game at the set-piece, Bath finally found some headway with a string of line-outs, but Semesa Rokoduguni was bundled into touch after a driving maul gave Bath field position.
Batty's score gave hopes of picking up a consolation losing bonus point in the final minute, but the kick was pulled wide on a rare off-day for England playmaker Ford.
Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill said:
"It was a big game for us, and I thought we played very well against a good side. In isolation, it's a massive win for us - a great building block.
"We didn't talk about it (45-0 defeat). I didn't really want to revisit it too much because every time you watched it they looked so good. We focused on ourselves and what we can do well.
"Across the board, I think we wanted it more than they did. We defended exceptionally well and we didn't give their back-line the opportunity to create the opportunities that maybe they normally get.
"It proves we can beat the sides that have been on really good form. It puts us right back in the mix."

Bath head coach Mike Ford said:
"We were on the wrong side of the referee. We couldn't adapt. We are the best-disciplined team in the competition by a country mile, but today we conceded nine or 10 penalties in the first 25 minutes, so we will have to look at that.
"Is it because we've come to Leicester and the crowd are baying for our blood? I am not too sure. We have got to adapt better.
"At 17-3 behind in those conditions, the game got away from us a little bit. They had some good tactics. They executed really well. They were very hungry, and if you lose the ruck (area) in those conditions it's really tough.
"Can we get better? Of course we can. We played the better football, but that doesn't mean you win games. There are loads of different ways to win a game. "We are in a good place, and we will lick our wounds and learn from today."

Some Maasai communities still believe that FGM - when parts of a girl's genitals are removed - should be continued as some see it as a cultural rite of passage marking when a girl becomes a woman and can marry.
Maasai Cricket Warriors captain Sonyanga Ole Ngais tells the BBC how he and his team-mates are trying to discourage the custom by refusing to marry girls who have undergone the brutal procedure.
It comes after Pakistan's high commissioner in Delhi consulted Kashmiri separatist leaders ahead of the talks, which were agreed in May.
The two countries' foreign secretaries were to meet next week in Islamabad to discuss the resumption of formal dialogue.
Pakistan described the Indian decision as a "setback".
"It is a longstanding practice that, prior to Pakistan-India talks, meetings with Kashmiri leaders are held to facilitate meaningful discussions on the issue of Kashmir," a statement from the Pakistani foreign ministry said.
Relations seemed to be on the up when new Indian PM Narendra Modi invited his Pakistani counterpart to his swearing-in ceremony.
But, say correspondents, the cancellation is an indication of the tough new approach adopted by his government towards Pakistan.
Last week Mr Modi accused Pakistan of waging a proxy war against India in Kashmir.
Pakistan's High Commissioner Abdul Basit announced plans to meet Kashmiri separatists in Delhi last week.
On Monday, Indian Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh warned Mr Basit against it, saying he could either have a dialogue with India or talk with the separatists.
India reacted with fury when it became clear the Pakistani envoy had gone ahead with the consultation.
India's Foreign Ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said Delhi told Mr Basit "that Pakistan's continued efforts to interfere in India's internal affairs were unacceptable".
He added that the action "raises questions about Pakistan's sincerity and undermines the constructive diplomatic efforts" initiated by India.
"No useful purpose" would be served by the foreign secretary's visit to Islamabad, the spokesman said.
Reports said Mr Basit was scheduled to meet more Kashmiri separatist leaders on Tuesday.
The US has described the cancellation of talks as "unfortunate". A State Department spokesman said it was "important that both sides still continue take steps to improve relations".
India has long accused Pakistan of sponsoring militants in the disputed region - though despite a recent spike, overall the violence has declined since the early 2000s.
Relations plunged again over the deadly 2008 Mumbai attack.
Claimed by both countries in its entirety, Kashmir has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years. The South Asian rivals have fought two wars and a limited conflict over the region.
Overnight, it was hotter in parts of the UK than it was in Istanbul during the day.
The mercury hit 24C (75C) at midnight at London City Airport - hotter than in the Turkish city where temperatures stayed below 21C (70F).
Temperatures had reached 30.2C (86.36F) in south-west London at the weekend.
Monday's top temperature was recorded at RAF Northolt in west London.
Forecasters have anticipated highs of 33C (91.4F) during the days to come.
In the West Midlands, working dogs at Stourbridge fire station needed to cool down.
Firefighters tweeted pictures of the dogs jumping for water from hosepipes and wrote: "@WestMidsFire even the fire dogs feeling the heat @Stourbridgefire white Watch"
In Lancashire, roads were seen melting in the high temperatures.
The Hesketh Bank and Tarleton Community Group wrote on Facebook: "If your [sic] thinking of avoiding Hesketh Lane I would think twice about using Taylors Meanygate unless you want tar all over your car. The road has melted."
Surrey Police said there had also been an incident of a road melting in Guildford, where spilt oil had "melted into the tarmac due to the heat".
BBC Weather Watchers captured the skies at sunset on Sunday, and as Worcestershire woke to glorious blue skies on Monday.
The high temperatures have been attributed to warm air originating from the tropical Atlantic.
In some spots, the strength of the UV has been recorded as being as high as that in Cyprus and Gibraltar.
And BBC Sussex took its Big Bus Tour to seaside resort Bognor Regis.
The Met Office said the first half of the week would see temperatures in the high 20s or low 30s for many across England and Wales, but there was some cloud and drizzle to the far north of Scotland.
Temperatures are expected to return nearer to average over eastern parts of the UK on Tuesday, but the fine, very warm and sometimes humid conditions in the south will continue until Thursday.
The Met Office has issued a level three amber heatwave warning from Monday to Thursday, "meaning there is a 90% probability of heatwave conditions", according to its website.
It means health and social workers should ensure high risk groups, including the elderly, children and those with medical conditions, are kept cool and hydrated.
Public Health England has also issued hot weather advice, with people urged to keep an eye on older people and young children as well as those at risk with heart and lung conditions.
Tips include to:
People are also urged not to leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, particularly young children and animals.
Six-year-old Rikki Neave's naked body was found in woods near Peterborough's Welland Estate on 29 November 1994. He had been strangled.
His mother, Ruth Neave, was cleared of his murder at a trial. She later admitted child neglect and cruelty and was jailed for seven years.
The inquiry is being "started afresh", Cambridgeshire Police said.
Rikki was last seen leaving his home in Redmile Walk, Welland, for school at around 09:00 GMT on Monday, 28 November, 1994.
He is believed to have been wearing grey trousers, a white shirt, black shoes and a blue coat.
The following day Rikki's body was found in a wooded area off Eye Road, close to Willoughby Court, about five minutes' walk from his house.
The investigation has been reopened by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit.
Det Supt Paul Fullwood, leading the inquiry, said: "All murder is tragic but when a young child is involved it is truly devastating.
"We owe it to Rikki and his family to find whoever was responsible for his murder and ensure they are brought to justice."
The cold case investigation had been "subject to a detailed review" and new forensics and DNA techniques, together with laser imaging would be used in the new investigation, he said.
"I strongly believe there are people out there who have significant information about Rikki's death and for a valid reason didn't speak to police at the time.
"Now is their opportunity to do the right thing and share that secret they have had to keep for more than 20 years."
A mobile police station has been set up in the Welland area of the city, near to where Rikki's body was discovered.
The hosts went ahead in just the second minute when Steve Morison crossed to Taylor, who finished from close range.
Billy Sharp could have levelled when he linked on to Matt Done's cross but keeper Jordan Archer caught his header.

Millwall manager Neil Harris told BBC Radio London: "We weren't brilliant at times. We played well and should have been out of sight by half-time.
"At this stage of the season it's about getting points on the board. We defended our box really well. I thought the centre-halves were outstanding."
As before, anyone watching or recording TV programmes as they are broadcast must have a licence.
Here are the answers to some common questions about the legal changes.
Previously, only viewers who were watching shows live (as they were being broadcast) needed a licence.
That meant it was legal to watch content after broadcast via iPlayer without paying the annual licence fee.
From Thursday, people need a TV licence to download or watch almost all on-demand and catch-up programmes on iPlayer.
The rules only apply to iPlayer, so you do not need a TV licence if you only ever watch on-demand or catch-up programmes through other service providers - as long as they don't use iPlayer.
This means that - for example - you can watch on-demand and catch-up BBC programmes on third-party services such as Netflix without needing a TV licence, but you wouldn't be able to watch any on-demand and catch-up BBC programmes on iPlayer through services like Now TV, Sky, Virgin, Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast without a TV licence.
If you only watch on-demand and catch-up television, and you only ever watch it using services from other providers, such as the ITV Hub or All 4, then you also wouldn't need a TV licence.
If you only use iPlayer to listen to the radio, watch S4C TV on demand, or watch films or TV shows you have bought from the BBC Store, then you do not need a TV licence.
In certain circumstances, students may be covered by their parents' TV licence. TV Licensing says four conditions need to apply:
So if you plug your device in to charge it while you are watching live TV, or catch-up or on-demand programmes on iPlayer, then you need a TV licence.
Students can find out more by visiting the TV Licensing student information webpage or by calling 0300 790 6113.
TV Licensing details on its website the ways in which it can check whether you have a licence, including a database of more than 31 million addresses, and home visits.
A fleet of detector vans can "detect the use of TV receiving equipment at specifically targeted addresses within minutes", it says.
In a statement, a TV Licensing spokesman said it would not use mass surveillance techniques nor ask internet providers for IP addresses.
"We will simply use existing enforcement processes and techniques which we believe to be adequate and appropriate. Our current procedures enable us to catch those watching on devices other than televisions," he added.
A government White Paper did ask the BBC to consider the cost and feasibility of a verification or sign-in system for iPlayer, and it is understood that TV Licensing will consider the costs and benefits of such a system in the future.
At present, no major changes to the ways that iPlayer asks you about your TV licence are expected.
A BBC spokesperson said: "Previously, a pop-up window appeared asking viewers to confirm they've got a TV licence when they click to play live BBC content on iPlayer, and from Thursday, that will update to include on-demand BBC programmes on iPlayer."
If you need a licence and do not have one, you are breaking the law and risk being prosecuted.
You could be fined up to £1,000 (the maximum fine is £2,000 in Guernsey and £500 in Jersey) - excluding any legal costs or compensation you may be ordered to pay.
TV Licences are available online from the TV Licensing website.
You can also purchase one by post or telephone, or at one of more than 28,000 PayPoint outlets across the UK.
A colour TV licence costs £145.50 per year, while a black-and-white TV licence costs £49.
There are some concessions for the blind and for care home residents, and there is no charge for people over the age of 75.
The cost to businesses varies.
The Chairboys won for only the third time in the league this campaign to move up to 19th in the table.
"We've had some tough times lately. We're at the wrong end of the table, I know that," said Ainsworth.
"I'll be doing everything I possibly can to build on this. One result doesn't make a season."
Sam Wood and Paris Cowan-Hall found the net for the first time this campaign to put Wycombe two ahead against the Alex before on-loan Southampton midfielder Dominic Gape scored his first professional goal to make it 3-0 before half-time.
Scott Kashket then added a brace on his home debut to make it 5-0 before a late Crewe consolation.
"I'm just really pleased we've got a win," Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"But I won't get carried away. I didn't get too down when we got beat 4-1 (by Luton), I'm not going too get carried away when we win 5-1.
"I want to get ready for Exeter now and back this up. The fans were great, hopefully we've put a few more on the gate for Saturday and this club can start moving up the table.
"The second half of the season, I'm expecting to be stronger."
It comes as former BBC Breakfast host Susanna Reid prepares to front new show Good Morning Britain from next week, in a deal reported to be worth £1 million.
It replaces Daybreak, whose highly-paid launch presenters Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley lasted one year.
Owen said press speculation about big salaries can "alienate viewers".
"Here's someone on a million pounds - you will enjoy them! Who can relate to a presenter like that?" he added.
Owen has extensive experience with breakfast TV, having started at TV-am's Good Morning Britain show in 1983 as a sports reporter before going on to become a main presenter with Anne Diamond until 1986.
They helped to turn around the show's fortunes and it went on to be very successful.
Owen rejoined Diamond on the sofa in 1992 to co-present Good Morning with Anne and Nick on BBC One until 1996, and he now presents for the BBC's Midlands Today programme.
"I joined TV-am after a raft of big names had failed - David Frost, Michael Parkinson, Anna Ford, Angela Rippon... they'd not caught on with the viewers at all," Owen told the Radio Times.
"They'd been turned down by Terry Wogan and Michael Aspel, so I was filling in until they could find someone, basically.
"But because no-one was watching, we could try things out."
Reid has said she quit the BBC last month after "a fabulous two decades" as the new ITV job was a "fantastic opportunity".
"At the age of 43, I have got three children and I have been a journalist for more than 20 years - and so I do hope I know a few things about quite a lot of stuff," Reid said.
"It's not often in your career you get the opportunity to build something new that is really exciting and so engaging.
"I do like to challenge myself and do things that are different. It's good to push yourself."
Since Daybreak replaced GMTV in 2010, ITV has continued to struggle to compete with BBC Breakfast's viewing figures.
On Thursday 17 April, an average of 489,300 tuned in to Daybreak while an average 1.38 million watched Breakfast on BBC One.
ITV has not commented on how much Reid will be paid when she joins Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher on Good Morning Britain.
The presenter has said she is less nervous about fronting the new show than she was about appearing on Strictly Come Dancing last year.
"I don't dread anything. Even the early morning alarm clock," she told the Radio Times.
"When you have done Strictly Come Dancing live on a Saturday night in front of millions... I'll never be that nervous again."
Daybreak has gone through both line-up changes and four different editors since its inception in 2010.
Lorraine Kelly and Aled Jones became Daybreak's presenters in September 2012, taking over from former GMTV presenter Kate Garraway and Dan Lobb.
The pair had been filling in since Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley left the programme in November 2011, 14 months after Daybreak's highly publicised launch.
ITV's head of daytime programmes Helen Warner said Good Morning Britain's number one priority would be "engaging, news-driven content".
Mr Smith, who joins Angela Eagle in challenging Jeremy Corbyn, said the tax system needed to be more "progressive".
On Brexit, he said people should not accept "we're on a definite path out."
Mr Smith and other Labour MPs say there should be a "unity" candidate to take on Mr Corbyn, who has vowed to fight the challengers in the contest.
But Ms Eagle, who was the first to launch a challenge against the Labour leader, said it was "too early" to talk about that idea.
Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn told the BBC's Sunday Politics he thinks the rules which exclude recently signed-up Labour members from voting in the contest are "not very fair" - and that he wants the party's National Executive Committee to change them.
He also believes the £25 fee for registered supporters to vote in the contest is too high.
In a speech in his constituency later, Mr Smith, MP for Pontypridd, will set out his leadership pledges, including plans to invest £200bn into building projects, which he will say is what is needed to "rebuild Britain".
Speaking on Sunday's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Smith, when asked if he would raise taxes on the richest in society, said: "I think we need to completely overhaul our tax system, so yes."
The former shadow work and pensions secretary said he would reintroduce a 50p top rate of tax "tomorrow" and also said it was "completely anomalous" for capital gains tax to be 20% when the higher rate of income tax was 45%.
Mr Smith, a former member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), went on to say he would vote to renew Trident in Monday's Commons vote, saying he believed the world had become "more volatile, more insecure over the last few years".
"I want a world without nuclear weapons altogether, but I don't think we hasten that by divesting," he said.
Asked whether he would be prepared to press the nuclear "button" as prime minister, Mr Smith said: "You've got to be prepared to say 'yes', that's absolutely right."
BBC political correspondent Alan Soady
Both Angela Eagle and Owen Smith are putting themselves forward as anti-Jeremy Corbyn candidates and as candidates of unity who think they're not as far left as Mr Corbyn - but are not Blairites either.
By positioning themselves in that way, they think they could potentially be acceptable to both wings of the party.
The problem is that having two rival unity candidates splits the vote and one would have thought that it makes it more likely that Jeremy Corbyn will win this leadership contest.
Owen Smith has already said he believes there should only be one of them going forward into the formal contest - it's just a case of deciding who.
On the EU, Mr Smith hinted at the possibility of a second referendum on EU membership, but said it would depend on what kind of deal the UK negotiated on the terms of Brexit.
He also said it would be "very tempting" for Labour to campaign on a promise not to trigger the formal Article 50 process to bring the UK out of the EU, "because we are a party that believes in being at the heart of Europe".
"I don't think we should accept we're on a definite path out. I think we need to make sure people are satisfied," he added.
"We trusted people, rightly, to take the decision. We can trust them again in 18 months time to check it's absolutely what they wanted."
Mr Smith will further warn that the party risks "falling apart" if it does not act "like a proper team", and he is also expected to attack Mr Corbyn for being anti-austerity without putting forward an alternative.
In her pitch for the Labour leadership, Ms Eagle said she was a "working-class woman" from the North of England, "and that's what we need at the moment".
"My whole political mission is to get working class kids the right opportunities to shine," she said, and highlighted her experience in government and opposition.
The ex-shadow business secretary also urged Labour members and supporters to "keep it comradely" in the leadership election, following abuse and threats directed at MPs.
Labour Party members, affiliated trade union supporters and so-called registered supporters are able to vote although there are some key differences from the 2015 contest, which Jeremy Corbyn won:
Mr Smith has said he believes only one challenger to Mr Corbyn should appear on the final leadership ballot, decided by "whoever is the person who commands the largest degree of support in the PLP".
But Ms Eagle - who was debating the leadership contest with Mr Smith on the Marr show - said she thought she was most likely to beat Mr Corbyn, adding: "We're not going to do a deal here on your sofa."
It comes ahead of a parliamentary Labour Party hustings on Monday, when the leadership contenders will set out their stall to fellow MPs.
Yvette Cooper - who stood for the Labour leadership last time round - endorsed the idea of a single candidate to avoid "artificial rows".
She said an early general election was a possibility, and added: "So we need a unity candidate who can pull a strong team together, something that Jeremy Corbyn's not been able to do."
Despite facing a revolt from his MPs, Mr Corbyn retains the strong support of many party members and has said he will fight the challenges in a contest which is expected to be decided in September.
Kyle Bullock, 21, was a passenger in an MG Rover when the crash happened at the junction of Fryers Road and Leamore Lane in Bloxwich, Walsall, on Sunday.
The 28-year-old car driver was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been bailed.
A 20-year-old male passenger remains in a critical condition after the crash, which happened at just after 23:00 BST.
The van driver was unhurt.
In a statement Mr Bullock's family said: "Kyle was a loving brother, nephew and a father who we will all miss so much.
"None of the family can come to terms with this tragic loss. He is now back with his mom who he never got over losing."
The car driver has been bailed pending further inquiries.
The 38-year-old victim was was attacked in Vine Lane in Uxbridge on Tuesday night, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.
Officers said a lone gunman walked up to the vehicle and shot into it several times before running off towards Saunders Road.
Detectives believe it was a targeted attack but are keeping an open mind about the motive.
No arrests have been made and that a post-mortem examination will be held in due course.
Magic leaps up, placing his paws on his owner's knees, his brown eyes staring into hers.
It is a routine he has done thousands of times.
Magic is a medical alert assistance dog, and has been trained to detect a minute shift in the blood sugar levels of his owner, Claire Pesterfield.
Using his superior sense of smell, he is capable of detecting tiny odour concentrations - around one part per trillion.
Without Magic's assistance, changes in her blood sugar levels could put her at risk of a seizure, or - in extreme cases - the onset of a coma.
Claire has type 1 diabetes, but - unlike most people with the condition - her body does not display the warning signs that a dangerous episode might be about to occur.
"I've used all the latest technology that's out there, and it still doesn't give me enough warning to prevent the episodes, or make them less severe," she tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
"But Magic can give me up to a 30-minute warning that I need to take action.
"In the three and a half years we've been together, he has alerted and potentially saved my life 3,500 times. And he does it all for a dog biscuit.
"I know without him, I wouldn't be alive today."
Claire works as a children's diabetes nurse, supporting and educating children with type 1 diabetes and their families.
She says she would not be able to do the job were it not for Magic, as she would be at risk of collapsing mid-meeting.
"Without him I would be testing my blood glucose level every 20 or 30 minutes, to try and pre-empt what was going to happen," she explains.
Having Magic also sends the message to the children she works with, she adds, that, "You can still live life to the full when you've got diabetes."
Magic sleeps by Claire's bed each night.
When he detects a change in her blood glucose level, he prods her with his paw to wake her up.
"Before I got Magic I would be up every hour, trying to check my blood glucose level, trying to predict when these episodes would happen," she explains.
"That meant that I was exhausted. Many a time I would be too afraid to go to sleep in case I had an episode and wouldn't wake up.
"Now I know my husband won't have to worry that when he wakes up in the morning I'm going to be dead next to him.
"Simple things like that are very hard to put into words."
NHS trials are currently assessing if dogs could also be used to detect prostate cancer.
The research being conducted offers an opportunity for the disease to be detected at an early stage - vital for improving survival rates.
The dogs - usually from the gundog breed, such as labradors and springer spaniels - are taught to detect a sample of urine from a patient with prostate cancer.
It is thought that the dogs can pick up the odour of cancer "volatiles", which travel from the infected cells into the urine as the body tries to dispose of the chemicals.
When they correctly detect a sample containing these volatiles, they are given a treat as positive reinforcement.
The dog's performances are recorded, and those that make the grade have more than a 90% success rate at detecting a sample from a patient with prostate cancer.
Dr Claire Guest, co-founder of the charity Medical Detection Dogs, realised she had breast cancer after her dog, Daisy, began nudging an area of her chest which felt bruised.
Tests later revealed she had two tumours.
This potentially life-saving experience sparked her interest in the capabilities of detection dogs.
"Although the dog has a fluffy coat and a waggy tail, he is in fact a highly sophisticated bio-sensor," she explains.
"Evolution has given him this highly sensitive nose, going down to parts per trillion. So we're talking about a science here.
"People board planes every day that have been screened by detector dogs to see if there are explosives on board. That's a life-or-death decision.
"Why do we rely on them there but not assisting us with health?"
Currently, cancer detection dogs do not receive any government funding, but Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith hopes that can change.
He discovered the charity's work through his wife Betsy, who - after having breast cancer - became a trustee at Medical Detection Dogs.
Mr Duncan Smith believes the "pioneering research doesn't just have the potential to save lives, but also to save our NHS many millions of pounds".
England's Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told him he will consider the findings of the NHS trial when published.
"I think ideas like this sometimes don't get looked at as quickly as they should, because they sometimes get put in the quackery box.
"I will personally look at this research when it comes through. One of our jobs as MPs is to question orthodoxies and look at different ways of doing things that possibly the establishment has swept under the carpet.

Aaron McEneff netted a 40th-minute penalty after a hand ball and Longford then had midfielder Kevin O'Connor sent-off for two yellow cards.
Substitute Lukas Schubert got his first goal for Derry in the 63rd minute.
Rory Patterson blazed a penalty over for Derry but Barry McNamee got their third and Patterson then made it 4-0.
For Derry boss Kenny Shiels it was a fine response by his team to the 5-0 defeat by leaders Dundalk in their last game.
Once they got the breakthrough against a team without a win for 17 league games, the result was not really in doubt.
McEneff, who successfully took over the penalty taking duties when Patterson missed in a cup game against Drogheda earlier in the season, netted from the spot for the opener five minutes before the break.
Schubert's composed right-footed finish after Conor McCormick's good pass made it two.
Derry got a second penalty in the 72nd minute after a foul on Schubert by Pat Flynn.
However, instead of earlier scorer McEneff, Patterson took the spot-kick and blazed it over the crossbar.
Just a couple of minutes later McNamee made it 3-0 by following up to score after Patterson's overhead effort had been scooped out by visiting keeper Ryan Coulter.
Patterson got on the score sheet six minutes from time, wrapping up their biggest win of the season.
Andrew Hindes' Staffordshire Bull Terrier attacked Richard Lyon's Pekingese while it was off the leash in Aberdeen last summer.
Another of his dogs, a Rottweiler, also bit two other people while in his garden outside his flat.
Hindes, 27, was banned from owning a dog for a year and ordered to carry out 150 hours unpaid community work.
Sheriff Noel McPartlin also ordered the destruction of the Rottweiler.
Ahead of sentencing at Aberdeen Sheriff Cout, fiscal depute Stephanie Ross recounted details of the attack.
She said: "The accused's dog managed to grab hold of Mr Lyon's dog and violently shook it.
"The accused ran down the lane and managed to pull the dogs apart.
"Mr Lyon's dog, also called Roxy, was motionless after the attack.
"It had a punctured spinal cord leaving it paralysed and it later died at the vet.
"Mr Lyon's daughter was extremely upset and required to be calmed down."
The court also heard that on two other occasions Hindes' other dog Gally had bitten two neighbours while in the garden.
Hindes admitted two counts of being in charge of the dog when it was dangerously out of control.
He had previously admitted being in charge of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier when it killed the other dog.
Defence agent Mike Munro said he had enlisted the help of a "dog behaviourist" to compile a report into the nature of the Rottweiler.
He said: "It tells us that this dog poses a danger to public safety. The dog's behaviour is such that there is an extreme concern."
The court heard that Hindes had given up both dogs in July this year and no longer owned a pet.
Needing 312 in their second innings to make Kent bat again, Gloucestershire were bowled out for 243 on day four.
Marshall (118) was the ninth wicket to fall, while no other batsman passed 25.
Kent are now 24 points behind Division Two leaders Essex with three games left to play, while Gloucestershire's slim hopes of promotion appear to be over.
Mayo led 0-8 to 0-7 at half-time at Ballybofey and moved three ahead after Diarmuid O'Connor's penalty.
However, Leo McLoone's 58th-minute goal helped Donegal keep their 100% record as they won an entertaining contest.
Down remain rooted to bottom of Division 1 after another chastening home defeat.
The Mourne County were hammered by Donegal at Newry in their league opener and after blowing a chance to beat Monaghan in the second game at Clones, Down produced another woeful Pairc Esler display.
Down failed to score for 30 minutes either side of half time in an embarrassingly one-sided contest.
Bryan Sheehan top-scored with 0-6 for Kerry who picked up their first win of the campaign as Kieran Donaghy and Colm Cooper made their first appearances of 2016.
In front of over 11,000 spectators at a sunny MacCumhaill Park, Mayo led 0-2 to 0-0 and 0-4 to 0-2 but Donegal stayed in touch as fine scores from play from Ryan McHugh and Rory Kavanagh and a Michael Murphy 45 cut the Connacht champions' advantage to 0-8 to 0-7 at the interval.
Excellent scores from McHugh, Paddy McBrearty and Donnacha MacNiallais moved Donegal 0-10 to 0-9 ahead but Mayo were back in front after O'Connor blasted in his controversial penalty.
Donegal's defence insisted that Evan Regan had carried the ball out over the end line in the run-up to the spot-kick award and O'Connor had to net the penalty twice after referee Barry Cassidy spotted an infringement with the initial kick.
Shortly after the penalty, Donegal endured another blow as substitute Neil Gallagher was black carded for a hand trip less than a minute after coming on.
But from 1-10 to 0-10 behind, Donegal outscored Mayo 1-4 to 0-2 in the closing 15 minutes.
McLoone's 58th-minute goal came after Donal Vaughan spilled a Robert Hennelly kick-out in midfield with Toye and Kavanagh combined to set up the over-lapping goal-scorer.
Murphy's towering 62nd-minute point to increased Donegal's lead to two points was an inspirational score as Mayo'a old Achilles heel of missing chances afflicted the Connacht champions in the closing stages.
The only downside from Donegal's win was a suspected hand injury sustained by corner-forward Martin O'Reilly in the closing stages as Mayo remain without a point after three games.
At Pairc Esler, Darran O'Sullivan's pace caused serious problems in the Down defence and he scored the first of four points from play after just 30 seconds.
Kerry scored the opening three points before Down got on the board through Connaire Harrison's 14th-minute free.
Eamonn Burns' side scored three points inside four minutes to draw level, Barry O'Hagan with their only point from play in the first half.
But they failed to score again in the first period, Kerry hitting an unanswered six points to lead 0-9 to 0-3 at the interval, Sheehan and Alan Fitzgerald among the scorers.
Conor Maginn stroked over a 45th-minute point for Down, their first in half an hour, but immediately Kerry brought on Colm 'Gooch' Cooper who scored a free within a minute of his introduction.
Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice emptied his bench with Barry John Keane, Brendan O'Sullivan and Cooper all contributing on the scoreboard.
O'Hagan scored his second point of the afternoon with sub Ryan Mallon also weaving through for a nice score for Down, who gave up the fight alarmingly early, allowing Kerry to stroll to a comfortable victory.
The struggling Mourne County look unlikely to be boosted the addition of Martin Clarke and Benny Coulter any time soon.
Clarke's brother John told BBC Radio Ulster's Sportsound on Sunday that the former AFL had told him over the weekend that his struggles with the Addison's Disease mean that he will be unable to commit to the county squad in the immediate future.
Down boss Eamonn Burns said in January that he hoped to have Benny Coulter back in the squad soon but this now appears unlikely.

The Diamond League venue, used by US athletes ahead of London 2012 Olympics, could increase capacity to 50,000, with a permanent capacity of 25,000.
Birmingham faces competition from Liverpool to be England's official bid for the games.
A final decision will be made before the end of the year.

The stadium, already the administrative home for UK Athletics, has a capacity of more than 12,000 and the city council said 95% of proposed competitive venues were already in place.
As well as hosting the opening and closing ceremonies, it would be the athletics venue for the games.
Its proposed 25,000 seating plan would match that of Edgbaston Cricket Ground.
But Birmingham's bid has yet to confirm which of the optional sports it will include.
The council said it was following guidelines laid down by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport about how to announce key elements of the bid, including disciplines and venues.
The Commonwealth Games Federation has been searching for a new host for the 2022 games since it decided in March that Durban, in South Africa, had not met the criteria for hosting.
Australia, Canada and Malaysia have also expressed interest in being the hosts.
After Birmingham announced more details of its bid on Monday, the Liverpool Echo published an article on why the Liverpool bid was better.
Speaking in Birmingham, European silver medallist Nathan Douglas said he thought it would be "amazing" to have the games in the city.
The triple jumper, who is backing the bid, said: "I've been here since 2004 training here, so to see this actually get.... [a] bit of a revamp would be absolutely brilliant and I think for the future it'd be fantastic."
Ian Ward, deputy leader of Birmingham City Council and Birmingham Commonwealth Games Steering Group chair, said: "We can also leave a legacy behind of grass roots sporting facilities that the people in this city, particularly young people, will be able to utilise in the future."
Scientists have identified a new gene contributing to the disease, NEK1.
The Ice Bucket Challenge has raised $115m (£87.7m) from people pouring cold water over themselves and posting the video on social media.
It was criticised as a stunt, but has funded six research projects.

Research by Project MinE, published in Nature Genetics, is the largest-ever study of inherited ALS, also known as motor neurone disease (MND).
More than 80 researchers in 11 countries searched for ALS risk genes in families affected by the disease.
"The sophisticated gene analysis that led to this finding was only possible because of the large number of ALS samples available," Lucie Bruijn of the ALS Association says.
The identification of gene NEK1 means scientists can now develop a gene therapy treating it.
Although only 10% of ALS patients have the inherited form, researchers believe that genetics contribute to a much larger percentage of cases.
Social media was awash with videos of people pouring cold water over their heads to raise money for ALS in the summer of 2014.
More than 17 million people uploaded videos to Facebook, including many celebrities who rose to the challenge, which were then watched by 440 million people worldwide.
Mr Deby, who took power in a coup 26 years ago, is seen by Western governments as a bulwark against Islamist militants in central Africa.
In the run-up to the election, security was stepped up, with protest marches banned and activists imprisoned.
Despite Chad's new oil wealth, half its 13 million people live in poverty.
The opposition boycotted the last election in 2011, allowing Mr Deby an easy victory, while this year his chances of winning again have been strengthened by fractures in the opposition.
One prominent opposition activist, Ngarlejy Yorongar, was banned from standing.
A referendum in Chad in 2005 scrapped a clause restricting presidents to two terms but Mr Deby says he will reinstate it if re-elected.
"Our country is starting from a long way back but the future looks bright," said Mr Deby as he voted. "I ask all politicians to respect the verdict of the ballot box."
Results are not expected for two weeks, according to a timetable set out by the electoral commission.
Record low international oil prices and the growing cost of anti-terror operations in the region are among the country's main challenges.
Chad's army is seen by western governments as an important contributor to the fight against Islamist militants in the region.
Both Nigeria's Islamist group, Boko Haram, and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb are seen as threats.
The authorities have also been trying to suppress unrest this year over delays in the payment of civil servants' salaries and a recruitment freeze.
In the run-up to the vote, protest marches were banned and activists campaigning against the president were jailed. Mr Deby is also accused of favouring his own ethnic group - the Zaghawa.
However, the president's message of stability has won him support.
"We came to vote for the president to guarantee peace in our country," civil servant Fatima Zara told Reuters news agency in the capital N'Djamena as she lined up to vote.
"Around us in the neighbouring countries there are too many problems."
Those allowed to stand against Mr Deby include opposition leader Saleh Kebzabo, campaigning on a platform of change.
Mr Kebzabo has said he has proof of large-scale fraud in the elections.
The world number seven claimed eight consecutive frames on his way to a 10-4 victory over Walden, 33, who is three places below him in the rankings.
It was the second final in a week for Walden, who lost 10-6 to Mark Allen in the Players Championship last Sunday.
Bristol-born Trump, 26, won the first of his five ranking titles in Beijing in 2011 at the age of 21.
Walden had found himself 3-1 up, but Trump began to dominate the match and raced into an 8-3 lead.
A run of 69 helped Trump pull further ahead, and, although Walden rescued one frame to make it 9-4, Trump sealed victory in the next with a break of 55.
Trump claimed the £85,000 top prize, while Walden picked up £35,000.
The China Open is the penultimate event of the season, and builds up to World Snooker Championship which starts on 16 April in Sheffield.
He announced his arrival for the shooting of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by posting a selfie on Instagram taken on the Fylde coast.
The star of Pulp Fiction and the Avengers film series also tweeted: "First look at Blackpool!"
The forthcoming fantasy film, directed by Tim Burton, is due out in March 2016.
It is set on a mysterious island where a teenager helps a group of peculiar orphans from creatures who are out to destroy them.
The cast also includes include Dame Judi Dench, Asa Butterfield, Ella Purnell, Allison Jannley, Terrence Stamp, Kim Dickens and Rupert Everett.
The movie is based on the US children's book written by Ransom Riggs and is set to feature Blackpool Tower and a number of the resort's landmarks.
When asked about his vision, Tim Burton told the BBC there was "a vibe about [the book] which felt different".
He said: "I think that's the key, to try to capture the spirit of the book. That's why I'm casting peculiar people."
Tim Burton also filmed the Killers music video for Battle Born in Blackpool.
The BBC understands Mr Jackson is staying in the Lytham area during filming.
The single-celled Toxoplasma gondii parasite is already known to inhibit their hard-wired fear of cats.
But even after they were cleared of the infection, mice no longer reacted with fear to a bobcat's urine.
The team, writing in the journal Plos One, says the infection could cause a permanent change to their brains.
Wendy Ingram and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, measured how mice reacted to a bobcat's urine.
Cats typically mark their territory with urine, which helps mice detect and avoid an area in which predators might lurk.
Those that remained uninfected with Toxoplasma gondii showed an aversion to the urine, whereas those that were infected walked freely around the test area.
"It is remarkable that even after the infection has been largely or completely cleared, a profound behavioural change persists," said Ms Ingram.
"Simply having a transient infection resulting in what is potentially a permanent change in host biology may have huge implications for infectious disease medicine."
In rodents, the infection is usually contracted from eating cat faeces. The parasite then works itself into every organ in the body, especially the brain, where it forms cysts.
The infection can also be spread to humans, with recent estimates suggesting that in the UK 350,000 people a year contract toxoplasmosis.
It can create serious complications in pregnancy and adversely affect people with already weakened immune systems. The parasite has also been linked to mood changes in the mental illness schizophrenia.
Ms Ingram told BBC News that the results highlight how current thinking on infectious disease may need to change.
"Typically if you have a bacterial infection, you go to a doctor and take antibiotics and the infection is cleared and you expect all the symptoms to also go away.
"Now we have an example where there is no obvious damage done by the parasite, yet major changes in the neurobiology of the mouse remains after the parasite is gone," she said.
The way forward, she added, would be to look at all the antibodies present in a patient's blood.
"This would show all the parasites and bacteria a person has ever been exposed to and may end up playing a bigger role in explaining illnesses."
Joanne Webster at Imperial College London, who was not involved with the research, said the work was a valuable addition to the scientific literature on this subject.
She said it could have important implications for humans, especially patients with schizophrenia.
"It is very useful to know that these fatal feline attraction behavioural changes do appear to be hard-wired," Prof Webster said.
Poppy Lamberton, also at in Imperial College London, explained that the findings conflicted with hypotheses that certain drugs successfully used to treat schizophrenia, were thought to act in part by reducing T. gondii infection levels.
"If some of the behavioural alterations have already occurred during the early, acute stage of the infection, then the fact that anti-T. gondii drugs may help change these behaviours in chronic infections, leads to many more interesting research questions," she told BBC News.
The 48-year-old only joined the Championship strugglers last month.
Jeunechamps had previously worked alongside Addicks head coach Jose Riga at Standard Liege and French club Metz.
Charlton are currently 23rd in the Championship table, seven points from safety, but have taken four points from their last two matches.
The landing in Seville marked the end of the 15th stage of Solar Impulse's journey.
Pilot Bertrand Piccard made swift progress over the ocean after leaving New York on Monday.
Mission managers will now plot a route to Abu Dhabi where the venture began in March, 2015.
The project had hoped to end the 6,000km Atlantic leg in Paris, to echo the pioneering flight in 1927 of Charles Lindbergh.
Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis aircraft was the first to make the solo crossing.
As it turned out, the forecast this week in Paris was for storms, and so Seville was chosen as the safest option.
Mr Piccard spoke to a crowd of well-wishers at Seville's airport after stepping out of Solar Impulse's cockpit.
"The Atlantic has always been this symbol of going from the Old World to the New," he told them.
"Everybody has tried to cross the Atlantic, with sailboats, steamboats, airships, aeroplanes, even rowing boats and kitesurfs. Today, it's a solar-powered aeroplane for the first time ever, flying electric with no fuel and no pollution."
Solar Impulse has moved rapidly around the Earth since renewing its challenge in Hawaii on 21 April.
In 2015, the plane flew eight stages from Abu Dhabi to Kalaeloa, including a remarkable four-day, 21-hour leg over the western Pacific - the longest solo flight in aviation history in terms of the time it took.
But it was damage to its batteries on that stage that forced Solar Impulse to then lay up for 10 months, for repairs and to wait for optimum daylight length in the northern hemisphere to return.
Solar Impulse is covered in 17,000 photovoltaic cells.
These either power the vehicle's electric motors directly, or charge its lithium-ion batteries, which sustain the aircraft during the night hours.
The project is not really intended to be a template for the future of aviation, but rather a demonstration of the capabilities of solar power in general.
Mr Piccard shares the flying duties with his business partner, Andre Borschberg.
The former Swiss air force pilot will take charge for the next leg, across the Mediterranean (it will likely take two stages to get to Abu Dhabi).
Setting off from Seville will be easier than from Paris in this respect, said project team-member Yves Andre Fasel who liaises with air traffic control.
"If we would have arrived in Paris like we wished, it would have been very complicated because we would have had to cross a lot of air traffic controls.
"From Seville, if we go along North Africa, I don't think there will be a lot of difficulties - from traffic. The difficulties will be more to do with military reasons and things like that."

The 2013 champions held off veteran duo Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker to maintain their overnight lead and win the 12-team event by one stroke.
Charley Hoffman and Billy Horschel finished third, a shot further back.
Lexi Thompson, only the second woman to play in the event, and partner Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for 11th.
The third and final round consisted of the better-ball format, where the lowest score of each player on the hole counts as the team score.
Kuchar and English both shot 65 to finish on 28 under for the tournament, with Kelly and Stricker unable to close the gap as they also carded a team round of 65.
Fellow Americans Hoffman and Horschel hit a remarkable 11-under-par round of 61, while British pair Luke Donald and Russell Knox made 68 to end on 17 under overall.
The invitational tournament, the final PGA Tour event of the year, is hosted by former world number one Greg Norman at the Tiburon Golf Club.
Willis, 32, was one of the first British athletes to be chosen for next year's Rio Olympics but will take time out from training to have treatment.
Sevenoaks-born Willis teamed up with London 2012 silver medallist Luke Patience in a bid to become Britain's first 470-class Olympic champions.
Willis said: "It's shocking news. It's still my dream to win Olympic gold but my health is my number one concern."
The longer-term impact on his and Patience's 470 campaign for Rio will be determined by how he responds to treatment.
"Elliot needs to do what's best for him," said Patience. "I will support him in whatever way I can."
We look at the myriad ways in which different countries are affected.
More than one million Bangladeshis visit India every year for medical, tourism and business purposes.
Many Bangladeshis, especially businessmen, visit as often as two or three times a month. Being businessmen, they tend to carry wads of high-value Indian notes on their trips.
Since the new rules have come into effect, Bangladeshis have been trying to exchange their unusable currency, but money-changers have refused to take them.
There is a lot of informal trade in goods between Bangladeshi and Indian businesspeople, and they exchange money at the border without bothering with documentation.
"So they have to keep cash all the time. [But] now they can't exchange those notes," said Abul Hossain, a businessman from Jessore, near the border.
The difficulties cut both ways, with many Indians living in Bangladesh are also facing problems.
One student, Maria, said she was struggling to change Indian rupees sent by her father through informal channels - meaning she has no documentation.
"The total amount is 50,000 rupees, and all are high-value notes. But I can't exchange those," she says.
Can India become a cashless nation?
How will India destroy 20 billion banknotes?
Farmers in eastern Nepal say the volume of their agricultural exports to India have decreased by almost 90% since the Indian currency move.
The unsold products are being dumped in warehouses and even along main roads.
About 98% of cardamom and more than 70% of tea and ginger produced in Nepal are bought by Indian businessmen from across the border.
In southern Nepal, along the long land border with India, businessmen have also expressed concern about the Indian government's move.
It is common for most businesspeople, and even households. to keep Indian currency for cross-border trade and business.
"I normally go to Raxaul Bazar, a shopping town across the border in India. I take 500 and 1,000 Rupee notes to buy supplies, but most people aren't accepting them and those that do are deducting 20% of the value for exchange. " Raghunath Prasad Sah, a shop owner in Birgunj, told the BBC.
In Pakistan, currency dealers are estimated to hold more than 150 million rupees ($2.2m) worth of Indian currency. After the government's move on the 500 and 1,000 rupee notes, this stash is being traded for about a quarter of its value, they say.
The general secretary of the Pakistan Exchange Companies Association says Pakistani citizens hold Indian currency - sometimes in large amounts - because they travel there for family reasons.
"Not enough time was given to people outside India to exchange money," Zafar Paracha said. "It was very sudden."
Pakistan has also denied that counterfeit Indian currency is being produced in Karachi and Peshawar. Targeting counterfeit cash is thought to be another reason for India's unexpected move.
Sri Lankans living in India says they are facing serious difficulties as a result of the sudden decision by the Indian government.
A PhD student who declined to give her name said the announcement came while she was visiting Sri Lanka on holiday.
"When I came to Sri Lanka, I brought some Indian rupees with me. As I have an Indian visa for valid for 4 years, I was not shocked as I thought I would be able to go to State Bank of India in Colombo with my 500 rupee notes," she said.
"But they were quite rude and told me only dollar notes could be exchanged outside India. They also refused to offer me any advice."
Sri Lankan diplomats have also told BBC Sinhala that the cash crisis has left hundreds of Buddhist pilgrims stranded in India. Without access to cash, they are finding it difficult to continue their journeys or return home, the diplomat said.
Poor families normally take part in these pilgrimages, sometimes even pawning their jewellery or other valuables to make the trip.

Fans of each company are particularly bitter in their disdain for the other camp - as either philistines who fail to see that the design of a product is key to its value, or hipster sheep who will pay over the odds for any iDevice.
Which made one feature of Wednesday's Apple event all the more startling. The new iPad Pro had just been unveiled, a tablet which looked to many like a rip-off of the Microsoft Surface Pro, with its keyboard cover and stylus - or rather "Pencil". Remember Steve Jobs's famous words when discussing tablet design: "If you see a stylus they blew it." (Of course, Apple fans will say the Surface ripped off the iPad, and the PC crowd will point to Bill Gates unveiling a tablet PC years earlier, and so the argument goes on back to the dawn of time...)
A while back the iPad Pro would have been the cue for all kinds of chortling from Microsoft's Redmond HQ of the Steve Ballmer "the iPhone doesn't appeal to business customers" variety. Instead, who should stride onto the stage in San Francisco but Microsoft executive Kirk Koenigsbauer, keen to show off what his firm's Office software could do on this new device.
Read how the net reacted to Apple's launch
There could not have been a better illustration of the new strategy under Satya Nadella, the chief executive who has come in and steered the software giant on a new course. Microsoft's future is about offering its very profitable enterprise software in the cloud on all sorts of devices - and that means collaboration not competition.
And while the Surface Twitter account suddenly leaped into action during the Apple event, boasting of the "256 levels of sensitivity" when you put the pen on its tablet's screen, one can't but feel that Mr Nadella has little interest in engaging in a hardware battle with Apple.
Writing off the bill for acquiring the Nokia phone business and slashing thousands of jobs was a sign of that. I was told recently that it is no longer imperative for Microsoft staff to be seen touting Windows Phones around the corporate offices. Some are even using iPhones - after all they need to be sure that Microsoft's productivity apps work on them.
And Surface Pro v iPad Pro looks like a very minor battle. Both are expensive niche products aimed at executives who are ready to abandon their utilitarian laptops for something much more stylish but possibly less practical. I am not convinced that this is a very big constituency although it may grow.
So with no major territory for the two sides to scrap over, peace is breaking out. Apple's "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" adverts", poking fun at Windows customers, and Microsoft's ripostes now seem echoes of a forgotten war.
But while Apple looks to have emerged triumphant, it cannot afford to be complacent. For all the time spent at its event on the new iPad, the Apple Watch and a revamped Apple TV, none of these look like products which will transform the technology landscape.
The key to Apple's future remains the product which has made it worth about twice as much as Microsoft, the iPhone. The new models are bound to sell well, but after the record breaking performance of the iPhone 6 - particularly in China - it will surely be harder in a challenging economic climate to scale new peaks.
Meanwhile, Satya Nadella will continue in his quiet way to build a new Microsoft, with a lot less chest thumping and aggressive pursuit of new territory than in the past. Selling access to Office in the cloud may be less exciting than brandishing a new gadget in front of an adoring crowd, but for Nadella it is the profitable way forward. The war is over, and maybe Apple and Microsoft have both won.
Every year, some call premium rate 118 directory enquiry services, but other departments have a ban on such calls.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) spent more than £15,000 calling these numbers more than 10,000 times, BBC Radio 4's You and Yours discovered.
A DWP spokesman said 118 calls were only used as a "last resort".
"Staff are advised to use internet services first," he said.
"It is important for our staff to be able to contact customers, in particular the most vulnerable, to make sure they are getting the support they need."
You and Yours also found that HM Revenue and Customs spent £12,065 last year, and £26,753 over the past three years making 43,552 calls.
A spokesman for the tax authority said 118 numbers had now been barred and staff were only permitted to use a special low-cost corporate directory enquiry service as a last resort.
The Passport Office spent £19,132 over the past three years calling the services more than 5,000 times, You and Yours also discovered. In some cases it cost as much as £54 a call as staff stayed connected for more than 30 minutes.
The department said that in a tiny proportion of cases staff needed to use directory enquiries to verify information and "support the processing of applications".
The research found different policies in place across government departments. The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and the Home Office ban all calls to 118 services, as has the Department for Education since 2014.
These 118 services provide access to phone numbers at a premium rate call charge. Some services allow the caller to be connected directly to the number, but continue to pay the premium rate.
A call to BT's corporate 118 707 service used by many of the government departments costs 29p per call and will not connect a caller.
Calls to BT's international directory enquiries number, 118 505, cost £1.90 per call then £3.84 per minute - which continues to be charged if the call is connected through.
For UK numbers, BT's Phonebook is available to search online free of charge. There are also free online international directory enquiry services.
Megan Bell, from Seaham, County Durham, died at T in the Park in 2016 and had "extremely high levels of ecstasy" in her bloodstream, the inquest heard.
A "gap" in evidence meant it was not possible to tell whether the 17-year-old had voluntarily taken the drugs.
She died "very quickly and tragically", Crook Coroner's Court heard.
Miss Bell collapsed on the first night of the festival after visiting a dance party tent and could not be revived by paramedics.
Northumbria Police is continuing to investigate whether the drugs were purchased before going to the festival in Strathallan Castle in Perthshire.
Her parents are campaigning for better safety for young people at festivals.
Chris Bell, Megan's father, said: "She loved music, singing, dancing and went to drama school when she was younger.
"We knew she wasn't a regular drug user... and somebody has given her something that's killed her.
"In her words she said 'I'm not daft dad, I know what I'm doing' and unfortunately she never came back."
The name was revealed by Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon as he cut the first steel on the ship at BAE System's Govan shipyard.
The new anti-submarine warfare frigates will be known as the City Class.
Earlier this month the Ministry of Defence announced a £3.7bn order for the first three Type 26s, which are due to enter service from the mid-2020s.
The contract for the second batch of five ships is expected to be negotiated "in the early 2020s".
The MoD said the work would "support and sustain" 3,400 jobs - half at BAE's Govan and Scotstoun shipyards - with the rest in the supply chain.
Sir Michael told BAE's workforce at the steel-cutting ceremony: "Today marks a historic milestone for the Royal Navy, Scottish shipbuilding and UK defence more widely.
"HMS Glasgow and the other seven frigates in this new class will protect our powerful new aircraft carriers and nuclear deterrent, helping keep Britain safe across the world.
"The Type 26 is a cutting-edge warship that will maintain our naval power with a truly global reach.
"Designed for a service life of at least 25 years, the Type 26 frigates will form a backbone of the future Royal Navy surface fleet well into the future."
There have been eight Royal Navy ships bearing the name Glasgow since the early 1700s.
In more recent history, two ships served during the world wars, including the Arctic convoys and the Normandy landings.
The last HMS Glasgow - a Type 42 Destroyer - was awarded the "Falkland Islands 1982" battle honour. During the Falklands War, the ship was damaged when a bomb struck it but failed to detonate. Glasgow was decommissioned in 2005.
Admiral Sir Philip Jones, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, said: "The Clyde was the birthplace of some of the greatest fighting ships the world has ever known, and so cutting steel there today for the future HMS Glasgow is symbolic of a Royal Navy on the rise once again.
"As an island nation, we are utterly dependent on the sea for our security and prosperity, and the City-class names have been chosen for the Type 26 to provide an enduring link between the Royal Navy and our great centres of commerce and industry.
"The name Glasgow brings with it a string of battle honours, stretching from the Arctic Circle to the South Atlantic.
"As one of the world's most capable anti-submarine frigates, the Type 26 will carry the Royal Navy's tradition of victory far into the future."
An initial development deal to build Type 26 combat ships in Glasgow was signed in February 2015.
Construction of the ships was initially expected to start in 2016, but Sir Michael said in June last year that no deal to build the frigates would be signed until it offered "value for money".
The Type 26 frigate is principally designed for anti-submarine warfare and will partially replace the current Type 23 frigate.
Each ship will carry a crew of 118, have a top speed of more than 26 knots and a range of 7,000 nautical miles.
Inglis, from Daviot, near Inverness, is recovering from serious neck and head injuries sustained in a road accident in Vietnam a year ago this week.
The 28-year-old told BBC Scotland's Timeline that a surgeon has advised her against returning to the contact sport.
But she added that another surgeon has said competing at judo may be possible.
Inglis was given a 1% chance of survival by doctors in Vietnam.
A crowdfunding campaign raised money to cover the cost of treatment in Thailand and then a flight back to Scotland where she woke up from a coma in a hospital in Edinburgh, six weeks after the accident.
A titanium cap was bolted to her skull as part of her treatment and recovery from her injuries.
Inglis, who was teaching primary and secondary school children in Vietnam, told Timeline: "I have had talks with my surgeon and he is really not keen for me to return to the sport because it is a full contact sport.
"He thinks there is a risk of another head injury and that I wouldn't come through that."
She added: "I have spoken to another surgeon who says your brain is like any other muscle and when it is fixed it is fixed."
Asked which advice she will follow, Inglis said: "I will give it a couple of years to let everything to settle down and get some more tests done and scans done."

The US president-elect had earlier accused the newspaper on Twitter of changing the terms of the meeting.
The apparent U-turn came a day after he berated media chiefs at Trump Tower for their "unfair" election coverage.
During the campaign, Mr Trump railed against liberal bias but has also benefited from blanket TV coverage.
The meeting is currently happening in the Churchill Room of the New York Times.
Reporters are live-tweeting the conversation, in which Trump has appeared to suggest that he may still attempt to prosecute Hillary Clinton, as he had said during his campaign.
In other developments:
Early on Tuesday, the US president-elect tweeted that he had called off his meeting with what he always refers to as the "failing" New York Times.
The Republican - known to be an avid media consumer - said the newspaper had switched the terms at the last moment, adding: "Not nice."
Trump's gilded cage - Analysis by BBC's Nick Bryant
Nothing lays bare Donald Trump's thin skin quite like criticism from his hometown.
Tellingly, most of his tweet-storms since election day have been aimed at Big Apple targets: the New York Times, the satirical show Saturday Night Live and the Broadway musical Hamilton.
Since his unexpected win, Manhattan has taken on the feel of a real-life Gotham, with the billionaire cast by his many detractors as an evil super-villain.
In his eponymous skyscraper he resides, tweeting maniacally, as protesters swirl angrily below fearful that he poses a mortal threat to their city and their planet.
Trump Tower also looks more and more like a gilded cage.
While he boasted during the election that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose voters, he has not stepped foot on to its sidewalks as president-elect.
Now Fifth Avenue is lined with heavily armed police to prevent people from harming him.

The Manhattan billionaire said he would instead be holding "great meetings" about who to appoint to his cabinet.
His spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, later told reporters: "The meeting is taking place as planned."
Jonathan Mahler, a political correspondent for the New York Times, tweeted that it was the president-elect who had tried to change the rules of engagement.
He said Mr Trump had asked for the discussion to be private and off-the-record, but the daily had refused.
A New York Times spokeswoman said it had only learned the meeting had been cancelled when he tweeted.
The newspaper has been reporting on potential conflicts of interest Mr Trump could face between his business interests and the presidency.
On Monday evening, he invited leading figures from the American TV networks for an off-the-record briefing at Trump Tower, where they were subjected to a tirade about election reporting.
The media executives and anchors - including NBC's Lester Holt, CNN's Wolf Blitzer and ABC's George Stephanopoulos - were apparently expecting to discuss coverage of his presidency.
But instead Mr Trump reportedly labelled them "liars" and called journalists the "lowest form of humanity".
One attendee leaked the details to the New York Post, saying: "The meeting was a total disaster.
"The TV execs and anchors went in there thinking they would be discussing the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead they got a Trump-style dressing down."
The New York Times reports that during his complaint about "dishonest" coverage Mr Trump singled out CNN president Jeffrey Zucker.
According to the Washington Post, Mr Trump also referred to NBC's Katy Tur and ABC's Martha Raddatz, without naming them.
But Ms Conway said the meeting was "very cordial".
Throughout his campaign, Mr Trump accused the media of dishonesty, sometimes targeting individual journalists at his rallies and even denying some outlets accreditation to his events.
He feuded with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who later alleged that he had offered her gifts, including hotel stays, in an attempt to influence coverage.
The presenter said she was not the only journalist who had been offered freebies by Mr Trump.

Price was knocked out in the second round by Teper last July, but the German then failed a post-fight drugs test and was banned for two years.
Teper is still ranked third by the IBF, while Price, who was ranked fifth last June, is no longer in the top 15.
"I have been cheated and I deserve something back," said Price, 32.
Former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Price has not fought since the defeat by Teper in Germany.
But he is set to make his comeback on the undercard of Tony Bellew's fight with Ilunga Makabu on 29 May.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Price said: "The very least should be once I'm active again and winning, Teper is removed and I'm reinstated back into the top 15.
"Instead of being put to the back of the queue, I deserve to be back where I was before I was cheated. In any other sport that would happen."
The Liverpudlian added: "There's opportunities awaiting ranked fighters and I won't be denied because I've been cheated."
Price has three defeats in his 22 professional fights.
As well as losing to Teper, he was beaten twice by American Tony Thompson, who also failed a drugs test after beating the Englishman.
The European Boxing Union took away Teper's European heavyweight title but maintained the original result of the fight.
The IBF told BBC Sport it would recognise any formal suspension of Teper from the EBU or German Boxing Commission, if that happened.
Teper will be removed from the rankings next month due to "inactivity" given he has not fought since facing Price.
Olympic bronze medallist Price added: "As far as dealing with drugs cheats is concerned, boxing is in the dark ages. It is just common sense. If someone cheats in a fight, then their results should be scratched.
"In athletics, if the winner is banned for drugs, the person who finishes second gets the medal. It's so simple to do."
The British Boxing Board of Control said it "supports" Price and will be discussing the matter with the IBF, EBU and Price's management.
The BBBofC will consider a rule change at its annual general meeting in June.
The proposal is that the results of fights in which a boxer is subsequently banned for doping are changed to a no contest.
The EBU executive will also discuss Price's situation when they meet in the same month.
IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will make the first defence of his title against American Dominic Breazeale, ranked 13th, on 25 June.
Price added: "It could have been me getting a title shot - two Olympic medallists against each other - but it's a big fight I have been cheated out of.
"I have missed out on this opportunity, but I still hold out hope later in the year."
The first games of the season will take place over the weekend of 13-14 August, however the Premier League is also keen to host more matches on Friday nights.
Sky and BT Sport have paid a record £5.136bn for live TV rights to broadcast the competition.
Leicester City are the defending champions, while Middlesbrough, Burnley and Hull City make their return to the top flight.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will meet Manchester United's Jose Mourinho in a derby on English soil for the first time, while Everton, Chelsea and Southampton will be among those to start the season with new managers.
The season starts a week later than last year because of this summer's European Championship, meaning the Premier League is likely to begin on the same day as Super Saturday at the Rio Olympic Games.
Thousands turned out near parliament in central Beirut, in the biggest protest to date over uncollected rubbish.
Police fired tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon after some tried to break through a security cordon.
Protesters blame political paralysis and corruption for the failure to resolve the rubbish crisis.
It started after the closure of Beirut's main landfill site last month, and has spread to other parts of the country.
On Saturday, protesters chanted slogans against the government and politicians. Some threw water bottles and firecrackers.
"Some trash should NOT be recycled," read one placard, above a pictures of Lebanese politicians.
At least one of the injured was in critical condition, a spokesman for the Lebanese Red Cross said.
Gunfire could be heard as clashes continued into the night.
In recent weeks - during hot summer weather - piles of rubbish have grown so large that some residents resorted to burning rubbish on the streets, releasing toxic fumes.
Some have worn masks in an attempt to protect themselves from the foul smell, and many have vented their anger on social media using the hashtags #YouStink and #YouReek.
The health minister warned this week that Lebanon could suffer a "major health catastrophe".
Mick Creedon, now Derbyshire chief constable, said there was enough evidence to prosecute the MP in 1991.
He spoke following publication of an independent inquiry into allegations against Lord Janner.
The late peer's family deny the allegations.
Mr Creedon said: "It remains a simple and regrettable fact that Lord Janner should have been prosecuted 25 years ago.
"This report confirms that the reason he was not [prosecuted] was a direct decision made by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and not by Leicestershire Constabulary."
Mr Creedon was a detective sergeant with the Leicestershire force when he became aware of allegations against Lord Janner, who was then MP for Leicester West.
At the time, he was investigating a convicted sex offender called Frank Beck for abuse at children's homes in Leicestershire.
Mr Creedon and his colleague, Det Insp Kelvyn Ashby, interviewed the victim who is referred to in the inquiry report as Complainant 1.
Complainant 1 described being groomed by the MP and having sexual activity with him between the summer of 1974 and December 1975, when he was under 16 years of age and living in a children's home.
Mr Creedon and Det Insp Ashby interviewed the MP under caution on 13 March 1991.
The MP's answer to every question was: "As advised by my solicitor, I do not wish to answer."
But despite this lack of cooperation, police obtained evidence that supported Complainant 1's account, including personal letters sent by Lord Janner.
Mick Creedon's intervention is significant because he's now one of the country's most experienced police chiefs. It matters after all these years, because reputations are at stake.
He's already given preliminary evidence to Justice Lowell Goddard's new Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. That inquiry's looking for "institutional failings".
Mr Creedon says he wanted to arrest Greville Janner in 1991, but he was ordered to interview the MP by appointment instead.
That meant Greville Janner's home wasn't searched. But Mick Creedon says he "believed the victim's account of abuse".
Sir Richard Henriques, the retired High Court judge who carried out the inquiry, wrote in his report that the "primary cause of failing to prosecute Janner in 1991 was, in my judgment, an inefficient investigation by police".
However, Sir Richard said there was still enough evidence against Lord Janner in December 1991 to provide "a realistic prospect of conviction", and concluded the decision not to charge him was wrong.
Mr Creedon accused the inquiry of unfairly blaming the police.
"I do not recall us receiving any requests for further investigative work from either counsel or the CPS," he said.
He will hand over the baton to Lord Coe of Britain, who will become only the sixth man to lead the IAAF in its 103-year history.
Diack, now 82, was vice-president when his predecessor Primo Nebiolo died of a heart attack in 1999. After becoming acting president, he went on to stand unopposed in four subsequent elections.
A former long jumper whose 1960 Olympic dreams were dashed by injury, he has been involved in athletics for most of his life - but what is his legacy as IAAF president?
Unfortunately, his departure could not have come at a worse time, given that he leaves an organisation fighting for credibility in the face of incessant doping allegations.
Earlier this month, German broadcaster ARD and the UK's Sunday Times newspaper claimed that between 2001 and 2012, a third of medals in endurance events at the Olympics and World Championships were won by athletes who recorded suspicious blood tests.
On Monday, the IAAF was then forced to deny it had vetoed publication of a report that suggested that 29% to 34% of athletes at the 2011 World Championships had knowingly doped.
So it spoke volumes when one of the first pledges made by Coe upon his election was to protect clean athletes and rebuild trust by maintaining a "zero tolerance to the abuse of doping in my sport".
Nonetheless, Diack has preferred to focus on the positives when questioned on his legacy in recent weeks.
His proudest achievement appears to be vastly improving the IAAF's finances, so building on the presidency of Nebiolo, whose at-times controversial reign coincided with the establishment of the biennial world championships and a lucrative grand prix circuit.
"Long-term financial security ... is the greatest gift I can pass on to my successor as president," he told AFP in an interview this week.
Another area that will please the Senegalese is his success in making athletics universal, which wasn't the case when he joined the IAAF in the 1970s.
The first World Championships, in 1983, attracted 154 countries, whereas 207 nations will be in Beijing for Saturday's showpiece event.
The grand prix have also grown, morphing into the Golden League (1998-2009) before becoming the Diamond League five years ago - with the stated aim of taking athletics outside Europe, with Asia, the Middle East and the US all on the list of venues.
Interestingly, Diack did admit to the lack of a proper bidding process when the IAAF largely bypassed convention in April by awarding the 2021 World Championships to the US for the first time.
"Blame it on an old president on the eve of his departure who wanted to give this opportunity to the United States," said a man who has long wanted to spread athletics in the US.
That aside, and to its great credit, the IAAF has been ahead of other sports bodies in terms of paying out equal prize money, but critics have questioned the Diamond League's ability to transcend athletics.
Among the laudable creations under Diack are the relatively simple, such as the Kids' Athletics initiative (which reached 1.5 million children across 100 territories in the first six years of its existence), to the very complicated, namely the war on doping.
Ironically, the IAAF has often been at the forefront of the war on drugs.
The organisation was one of the first sports bodies to implement the Athletes Biological Passport, as well as the storing of blood samples to use for re-analysis in future years (when the science has caught up with the cheats).
But these anti-doping actions have now been used against the IAAF and Diack, who has given the allegations short shrift (despite admitting to a 'crisis' in the past) and highlighted a host of initiatives instead.
But as the questions abound about the way in which the IAAF publicises its findings or doesn't - for the critics who say the IAAF fears it would damage the sport by so doing - Diack is seen as the man who has allowed the stench to come about on his watch.
Not that the former mayor of Dakar sees it that way of course, believing his sport is handling the problem.
"I have said on many occasions that when the day comes where we no longer can believe what we see, then sport is dead," he was quoted as saying this week.
The problem for Diack as he leaves the highest position in athletics is that too many believe that day has already arrived in his beloved sport.

The 55-year-old man was part of a group travelling around the north of Scotland.
He was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after the collision with a blue Mazda 6 car on the A87 near the Cluanie Inn at Glenmoriston at about 16:50 on Saturday.
The driver and passenger in the car were not hurt.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police Scotland can confirm a motorcyclist is being treated for serious injuries in hospital following a two-vehicle collision on the A87 near the Cluanie Inn.
"Inquiries are being carried out by officers from the Road Policing Unit in Fort William, and they are appealing for any witnesses who have not already been spoken to by police to contact them."
Pee, 27, broke the Briton's serve four times as she won 6-2 6-3 in one hour and 25 minutes on Court 11.
Konta, ranked 118, had direct entry into the main draw of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career.
Her defeat leaves Heather Watson, who plays on Tuesday, as the only British woman in the singles draw.
Watson faces Romanian Sorana Cirstea in the opening match on Court 13 at 16:00 BST.
Konta, 23, claimed her only previous win at a Grand Slam two years ago in New York but could not repeat the performance.
After recovering an early break, the Briton fell 5-2 behind and dropped the set in a dramatic 13-minute game.
Peer, the world number 155, needed just one break in the second set, fending off two late break-back points and sealing victory when Konta netted a backhand.
"I created opportunities for myself but I just wasn't able to take them today, which is frustrating and upsetting for me," said Konta, who was playing her third match back after four weeks off with a wrist injury.
"It was frustrating but she played tough on those points, credit to her."
Konta added: "It's a bonus getting direct acceptance but I want to be getting deeper into these tournaments and start winning more matches."
His lawyers issued a claim for compensation at the High Court in London on Thursday.
Law firm Collyer Bristow said it was representing nine people in total, including former Formula One driver Eddie Irvine. They said other law firms have also issued claims this week.
News UK, which owned the paper until it closed in 2011, declined to comment.
Collyer Bristow said its clients had been left with "no alternative" following the closure of a compensation scheme.
It said the News of the World had previously "admitted and apologised for hacking into the voicemails of a number of high-profile individuals" and opened a compensation scheme in 2011 as an alternative to litigation.
But Collyer Bristow said the scheme closed "after less than 18 months of operation".
The NoW was shut down by owner Rupert Murdoch following the revelation that the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler had been hacked.
The scandal also led to the establishment of the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics, an MPs' inquiry and the launch of three police investigations into alleged widespread phone hacking and corruption.
Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson - who later became director of communications for then Prime Minister David Cameron - was jailed for 18 months for conspiracy to hack phones.
Hugh Grant and Charlotte Church were among those who settled claims against the paper over phone-hacking.
Steven Heffer, who is acting on behalf of the claimants, said: "My firm continues to act for a number of clients with claims against News Group arising out of phone hacking and other unlawful activities.
"News Group withdrew its compensation scheme in 2013, giving no proper explanation for this move and has failed to compensate victims despite all attempts by lawyers to settle cases out of court."
The firm says it has now acted for more than 200 "victims of hacking and unlawful surveillance".
Collyer Bristow said other claimants included Fran Cutler, Jess Morris, Tanya Frayne, Sophia Myles and Rob Gros.

The Australian Open champions won the opening set but were blown away in the second before losing the first-to-10 match tie-break that decided matters.
Murray remains top of the ATP doubles rankings after his semi-final win.
Eight-time champion Rafael Nadal plays Frenchman Gael Monfils in the singles final at 13:30 BST.
Murray was taking part in his first Masters 1000 final but could not have asked for tougher opponents with the French third seeds on a 12-game winning streak and having won the last two Masters finals.
The start was delayed half-an-hour because of rain and it was Murray and Soares who adjusted best to conditions before breaking the Mahut serve in the eighth game.
Murray served for the set but a double fault allowed the French pair to break back, only for Murray and Soares to again break serve after winning a thrilling exchange of reflex volleys at the net.
Despite being overlooked by France's Davis Cup captain Yannick Noah, Herbert and Mahut are top of the current order of merit and it was no surprise when they came storming back in the second set.
They broke Murray twice more and Soares for the first time to take it without dropping a game in just 25 minutes.
The French continued their dominance in the match tie-break and opened up a 5-1 lead, but Murray and Soares rallied to get it back to 7-6 only to let it slip out their grasp again with Murray serving a double fault at match point.
A gracious Murray told the crowd: "They were on fire and too good for us today. I hope Yannick Noah is watching."
American singer-songwriter John Grant had just finished playing at St George's church in Kemp Town on Thursday when the computer was taken.

One band member, drummer Kristinn Agnarsson, tweeted that one of the crew had "looked away for a bit, and then it was gone".
Sussex Police said the theft had been reported just after midnight and the laptop had not been returned or found.
Mr Grant said: "After our show in Brighton tonight, someone who was apparently in the audience stole my computer off the stage, which has my entire life on it.
"I have so many things on that computer which I need."
St Davids RNLI officially opened its £10m lifeboat station on Tuesday and named its £2.7m Tamar class lifeboat Norah Wortley.
The new station and slipway took two years to build and are positioned in the cliffs next to the old station at St Justinian.
About 200 people, including past and present crew, attended the ceremony.
The Norah Wortley was funded by a bequest from Diana Symon from Devon and since its arrival at the station four years ago has launched more than 60 times, helping to rescue 50 people and save four lives.
Champagne was poured over the bow as the lifeboat was officially named and handed over to Capt James Wilcox, lifeboat operations manager at St Davids RNLI.
Capt Wilcox said: "The thanks of everyone connected to St Davids RNLI goes out to Diana Symon and all the other donors who made this day possible.
"Their generosity and the support of the local community mean our volunteers will be able to save lives at sea off the coast of St Davids for many more years to come."
The new lifeboat station is one of the RNLI's most ambitious build projects in recent years.
It was part funded by the community and as well as housing the Norah Wortley, is home to the smaller inshore lifeboat.
Tuesday's ceremony also paid tribute to the past with the Watson class lifeboat, which served St Davids RNLI for 22 years until 1985, in the water for the event.

Birmingham, Walsall, Sandwell, Wolverhampton and Dudley authorities have announced plans for a new alliance, which will serve 3.4 million people.
Sandwell Council leader Darren Cooper said he was trying to persuade Solihull and Coventry authorities to join the "super council" for the Midlands.
Speaking about the proposals, he said the plan was to create "a tier over the separate councils with a link to government" with "no extra cost and no extra politicians".

DeGale, 30, meets Sweden's Jack, 34, at New York's Barclays Centre on Saturday.
"I've worked hard all my life," he said. "Now I've got myself in a position where I can financially secure me and my family.
"It's time to strike while the iron's hot, get in the big fights, earn my money and run."
The fight will begin at around 04:00 GMT on Sunday morning.
The 2008 Olympic gold medallist told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's not just about the money but I'm a prizefighter.
"I've got all the accolades now, the only thing that's missing is the millions in the bank."
His opponent Jack, who has 20 wins, two draws and one defeat on his record, has million-dollar backing behind him as he is managed by Floyd Mayweather.
DeGale has prepared for the fight with a strength and conditioning coach - the first time he has used one.
"It's because I was getting fatigued in fights," he explained.
He also said he had dreamt of fighting in New York since he was a child, watching his hero, Britain's former world featherweight champion Naseem Hamed against Kevin Kelley.
"At the age of 10, I was thinking, 'yes, that's going to be me'," he said. "I'm living the dream."
You can listen to the fight on BBC Radio 5 live from 03:30 GMT on Sunday.
The brilliant seven-year-old, trained by Willie Mullins, was typically dominant in the four-runner contest to record a 14th straight win.
Jockey Ruby Walsh had no concerns as the 1-14 favourite pulled well clear of runner-up Realt Mor.
Douvan remains a 4-11 chance for the big Cheltenham race in March.
"He sauntered along at the front at his own speed and won as he liked," Walsh told At The Races.
"He just has a huge amount of natural ability. You don't have to do anything. You just sit there."
Douvan has only been beaten once, in his first hurdle race, and is now unbeaten in nine contests over fences.
The Scottish Youth Theatre and Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust are behind the event on Friday at Dumfries Academy.
Bandelero the Bandit was written by Barrie while he was a pupil.
Later in life he believed the script had been destroyed but it eventually surfaced in America and is now set to be performed once more.
An audience will be treated to a rehearsed reading of the 30-minute play by young actors from across Scotland.
The event is part of this week's launch of PPMBT's final drive to raise the remaining money needed to turn Moat Brae House - where Barrie played as a child - into a national centre for children's literature.
The appeal has already secured £4m of the £5.5m needed.
Fraser MacLeod, associate artistic director of the Glasgow-based SYT, said: "Scottish Youth Theatre is delighted to be able to return the first play of someone as iconic as JM Barrie to the stage, after such an enormous amount of time.
"The play is fascinating because it contains the beginnings of so many ideas and approaches that Barrie went on to expand and develop as his career flourished.
"We want young people today to see Bandelero like this, as the start of a career, and perhaps to think that if JM Barrie could have done it then, they can do it now."
By Prof Ronnie Jack, University of Edinburgh, who rediscovered the work
Barrie thought the play was lost so it's wonderful that it has survived.
It's an important work in a number of ways, for example it shows how he loved to collect themes and ideas from everything he read and turn them into something of his own.
It also shows his early fascination with special effects.
This reached its ultimate expression in Tinker Bell, who was a character created entirely by special effects using sound and light.
A local clergyman took exception to the play and wrote to the local newspapers to condemn it for being immoral.
The young Barrie realised this was a fantastic opportunity and made the very most of it.
The next performance, which took place at the Crichton, was naturally full of people wanting to see what the fuss was about.
Joanne Dillon, rector of Dumfries Academy, said the school was very proud of its links with Barrie who was born in Kirriemuir but grew up in southern Scotland.
"The school played an important role in his early life and gave him superb opportunities to express his creativity," she said.
"His years at the academy, as well as the games he played in the garden at Moat Brae House, did a huge amount to inspire the ideas that were so important in his later life and work."
A final key element of the fundraising campaign for the children's literature centre is the launch of a new video appeal by PPMBT patron Joanna Lumley.
"This is such an exciting week for us, with Bandelero and the launch of our final fundraising push," she said.
"Imagine, being able to revive JM Barrie's first play, which he thought was lost forever, so people can enjoy it again after all this time in the very place it was originally performed.
"Projects like this are exactly what the Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust is all about, and show the enormous value of creating a national children's literature and storytelling centre for Scotland."
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he wished the incident had not happened and hoped it would not happen again.
He has so far refused to apologise to Russia, accusing Moscow of "playing with fire" in its Syria operations.
The president's remarks came as Turkey warned its citizens against non-essential travel to Russia.
The Foreign Ministry said visits should be avoided "until the situation becomes clear", citing problems such as anti-Turkish demonstrations outside the country's embassy in Moscow.
On Friday Russia suspended its visa-free arrangement with Turkey and is planning to introduce a wide range of economic sanctions.
He mentioned the "s" word - but not the one Vladimir Putin wanted.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's expression of "sadness" is an olive branch. But President Putin says he expects a "sorry" from his Turkish counterpart, refusing to answer the phone to Mr Erdogan until it's uttered.
Both strongmen leaders are trying a difficult balancing act - pleasing their nationalist supporters at home while trying not to destroy a vital bilateral relationship.
Moscow says it will re-impose visa restrictions on Turks from January. Ankara has warned against "all but essential travel" for its citizens to Russia. There is talk of wider economic sanctions and tough rhetoric - President Putin calling Turkey an "accomplice of terror", President Erdogan saying Russia should not "play with fire".
But the two countries depend on each other economically - Russia is Turkey's second-largest trading partner - and they need to unite to defeat Islamic State. So it's still likely they'll avoid this escalating out of control. Expect more inching forward in the days ahead, if not the full-blown apology that both sides want.
Mr Erdogan has asked for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but Mr Putin wants an apology from Turkey before he will agree to talks.
The Turkish president again defended the incident and criticised Russia's operations in Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad, whom Ankara opposes.
But he renewed his call for a meeting with Mr Putin on the sidelines of the Paris Climate talks next week, saying that both sides should approach the issue more positively.
"We wish it hadn't happened, but it happened," he said, quoted by the Associated Press. "I hope something like this doesn't happen again."
Russia has sent troops and aircraft to Syria to back up the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad in the civil war.
Turkey, which is a member of Nato and of a US-led coalition in the region, insists Mr Assad must step down before any political solution to the Syrian conflict is found.
Both countries say they are trying to rid the region of the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, which has been blamed for the recent attacks on Paris, Ankara and also on a Russian airliner.
And on Friday Russia said it had strengthened its anti-aircraft defences by moving a cruiser towards the coast and deploying new missiles at its main base.
The Moskva cruiser's long-range air defence system will provide cover for Russian aircraft, as will the S-400 missiles which arrived on Thursday.
Turkey says the Russian plane had intruded into its airspace and ignored warnings to leave.
Moscow maintains that the downed SU-24 fighter jet was downed by a missile fired from a Turkish jet inside Syria.
Mr Putin has also firmly rejected any suggestion Turkey did not recognise the plane as Russian. He said it was easily identifiable and its co-ordinates had been passed on to Turkey's ally, the US.
Russia on Thursday said it was drafting a wide-ranging list of economic sanctions against Turkey that would hit food imports and joint investment projects among other things.
Turkey and Russia have important economic links. Russia is Turkey's second-largest trading partner, while more than three million Russian tourists visited Turkey last year.
Mr Erdogan's latest statement on the downing of the plane came in an address to supporters in Balikesir, western Turkey, following the murder of a senior Kurdish lawyer, Tahir Elci, in the south-eastern city of Diyarbakir earlier on Saturday.
Mr Elci was shot dead by an unknown gunman as he called for an end to violence between Turkey and the Kurdish rebel PKK group, which resumed in July.
However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said military action must end against separatists in the east.
Mr Poroshenko said he would meet Russian leaders soon but vowed to take a tough line on any armed separatists.
Unrest continues in the east, with pro-Russia militiamen halting flights at Donetsk airport.
Heavy gunfire is now reported there, with thick black smoke rising from the area. Military aircraft have been seen overhead.
Meanwhile election observers said Sunday's vote was a genuine one that largely met international standards.
The mission from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) also said it gave the new president "legitimacy" to open a dialogue with separatists in the east.
Mr Lavrov told a press conference in Moscow: "We are ready for dialogue with Kiev's representatives, with Petro Poroshenko."
Mr Lavrov said EU and US mediation were not needed, but warned Kiev that continuing military operations against the separatists would be a "colossal mistake".
He said: "As our president [Vladimir Putin] has said, we shall treat the results of the expression of will of the Ukrainian people with respect."
But Mr Lavrov said Kiev must also treat its people with respect and that dialogue with the east was necessary to resolve the crisis.
Mr Poroshenko said he hoped to meet Russian leaders early next month, after a trip to Poland where he will meet the US president and EU leaders.
However, he warned he would take a tough line on armed militiamen.
He said: "Their goal is to turn Donbass [east Ukraine] into Somalia. I will not let anyone do this to our state and I hope that Russia will support my approach."
Mr Poroshenko also indicated he would keep current Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, saying: "There are no plans to change the government leadership."
Mr Poroshenko, 48, currently has 53.75% of the vote, with 70% of the ballots counted, and would not need a run-off. Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is a distant second on 13.1%.
Full results are expected on Monday.
The election came three months after pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych fled Kiev amid bloody street protests and calls for closer ties with the EU.
Since then, Russia has annexed the Crimean peninsula in southern Ukraine and armed separatists in the eastern provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk have declared independence.
Mr Yanukovych has also said he will accept the election result, "no matter which regions and what percentage of the population voted", Russian media reported.
Ukraine's interim government is engaged in an offensive in the east to quash the uprising that has left scores dead.
Pro-Russian separatists severely disrupted voting there. No polling stations were open in Donetsk city, and across the region only seven out of 12 district electoral commissions were operating.
"Has Ukraine been reborn?" asks the Ukrainian edition of Komsomolskaya Pravda. It says the election "will have a special place in the history books". But the paper notes that Crimeans did not vote and the voting in Donbass and Luhansk - formerly Ukraine's "electoral core", proceeded with "great difficulty".
"We have survived," proclaims popular Ukrainian daily Segodnya.
Claims in the Russian media that Ukraine is overrun by extremists and neo-Nazis are ridiculed by some social media commentators. The two right-wing candidates - Dmytro Yarosh and Oleh Tyahnybok - polled less than 2% in total.
Prominent Ukrainian journalist Mustafa Nayyem proclaims an "epic fail" of Russian propaganda. "Vladimir Putin won't sleep tonight," he predicts.
:A turning point, or business as usual?
However, the central elections commission said about 60% of Ukraine's 35.5 million eligible voters had turned out.
Unrest continued on Monday.
Flights were suspended at Sergei Prokofiev airport in Donetsk after several dozen separatists from the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic demanded Ukrainian troops guarding the inner perimeter be removed.
Officials said there had been "shots and confrontation".
The head of Donetsk airport's press service, Dmitry Kosinov, said: "On the territory of the airport there are armed people, this is ample reason to halt our work on security grounds."
Ukrainian TV is also reporting clashes in the villages of Semenivka and Andriyivka near the separatist stronghold of Sloviansk.
Chris Coleman's team will play Belgium at the Stade Pierre Mauroy on Friday.
The stadium is less than 10 miles (16km) from the border, with reports suggesting more than 100,000 Belgians could descend on Lille.
But Wales fans in France believe the "away-game" atmosphere could suit the team.
Karen Crocker, a Wales fan from Cardiff, said: "There's going to be far more Belgian fans than Welsh.
"There's lots of Welsh coming over to go in the fan zone but in the stadium we're going to be outnumbered."
But Mark Watkins, 50, also of Cardiff, said it would "definitely" suit Wales having to play like an away team.
"The way we play, we're going to need to ride our luck a bit, but we've got a chance."
He added: "I think we will have a fair chunk of support [in Lille].
"We'll make plenty of noise. I think it will be a fantastic atmosphere.
"We'll try and be the 12th man in this game."
On Tuesday, Belgium midfielder Kevin de Bruyne said: "I can't wait for this match, which will be like a home match for us because it's right on the Belgian border."
And residents of the French city are also keen to back the Belgians.
Solange Baillon, 27, said: "Here in the north of France, we were really part of the same country in the past so we just cheer for each other, every time."
She said people in the city had found Wales fans "more discreet" than England fans when the two sets of supporters were in town for England's 2-1 win in Lens.
Ms Baillon said the people of Lille had been "very happy" to be part of the tournament.
Fellow Lille resident Vincent Houttelitu, 29, said he believed most of France would cheer on Belgium, saying: "We are very close."
Wales fans have begun arriving in the town and collecting their tickets from the voucher exchange at Grand Palais.
Some 4,500 of the tickets at the 50,000 capacity stadium have been allocated to Wales fans with Follow My Team vouchers.
And while many fans in France for the earlier stages have returned home, the Football Supporters' Federation Cymru is expecting tens of thousands of Wales fans to make it to Lille on day trips.
For those without a ticket, the city's fan zone can hold 30,000 people.
Wales will go into the game with a measure of confidence after beating and drawing with Belgium during their qualifying campaign.
Should they win on Friday, the team would face a potential semi-final against either Portugal or Poland in Lyon on 6 July.
It suggests they do, perhaps surprisingly, care quite a lot about it.
In a series of tweets, the Russian embassy in London mocked the foreign secretary, calling his decision "deplorable" and "absurd" and linking to an image of the Charge of the Light Brigade and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
That was the year that a minor war between Britain and Russia, provoked by a Russian alliance with France, came to an end, when Napoleon invaded Russia. The US was on the French side. The message is a little hard to decode, beyond poking fun at Boris.
The Kremlin is less mischievous, and more straightforward.
It "doubts in the presence of added value in speaking to the UK, which does not have its own position on the majority of present-day issues, nor does it have real influence on the course of international affairs, as it remains 'in the shadow' of its strategic partners. We do not feel that we need dialogue with London any more than it does."
This has both the whiff of wounded pride and the smell of an unpalatable truth. Both interpretations have something in them, but disguise a more profound method in their mockery.
Russia's intervention in Syria had many fathers, but no doubt part of President Putin's purpose was to establish that modern Russia, just as much as the old Soviet Union, matters on the world stage - a force to be reckoned with, on a par with China and the US.
So a snub from Britain, definitely lower down the league table of powerful nations, stings a little bit. It is also easy to take a tilt at the UK and Boris Johnson.
We do, in military, intelligence and diplomatic terms, in that old cliche, punch above our weight. We matter more, in those terms, than Sweden or Brazil, Spain or Italy. But the weight of our history makes many of us think we matter more than we do.
We have lost an empire and don't particularly like finding ourselves in a subordinate role, perhaps not always as important as France and Germany. Absurdly, our media and politicians sometimes like to pretend we are almost on a par with the United States, nearly equal partners rather than occasionally useful allies.
The Russians are deeply aware of how much power they have lost. We in Britain simply pretend it's not the case. So the Kremlin prodding a finger in this wound makes us shiver a little bit.
I have no idea whether US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asked tentatively and politely that Boris should call off his visit, virtually ordered it, or whether the proposal came from the Foreign Office. But there's no doubt we are doing what the Americans want, and waiting for them to explain what they want to happen next.
This is what the Russians really hate. Like the Chinese, they would rather have one-on-one, bilateral relations, with other smaller nations. It is why they would love to see the European Union collapse, and support parties which wish to see that too. They don't like other countries acting against them in concord, matching their mass.
If they don't like the EU, they feel even more strongly about European nations acting together with the US. Bundle in the G7 nations of Japan and Canada, and you have something that amounts to '"the West" - the Soviet Union's old adversary.
If they had hoped the US would turn inward, not even leading from behind, but wandering off in a disinterested daze, then recent developments seem to suggest they won't get their wish.
So Boris Johnson's cancelled trip to Moscow makes diplomatic sense and shows a due sense of proportion about our nation's power. But it is still not great for the man himself. Hanging over all this is the feeling that he's not to be trusted, that he'd somehow make a mess of it all.
The Russians keep using the term "clown" and hinting that he is out of his depth. Some in the Foreign Office seem to agree. So do opposition politicians.
It may be desperately unfair, based on the fact he makes a few broad jokes in a world where many others have carefully crafted pokers inserted somewhere about their person.
But Boris has become a politician it is easy not to take seriously, a doddle to ridicule. President Trump's example suggests that's not entirely a bad place to be, but at the moment it has made it easier for people at home and abroad to deride an entirely standard diplomatic response.
He breached poll laws by flashing his party's symbol and making a political speech while voting was going on in the seventh phase of the election, it said.
Mr Modi addressed journalists and supporters after casting his vote in his home state of Gujarat.
He later posted a "selfie" of his inked finger on Twitter.
By Sanjoy MajumderBBC News, Ahmedabad
As Mr Modi's convoy arrived at the polling station, it was greeted with frenzied celebrations. His supporters had taken up positions all along the street - young, old, women and even young children among them.
There were others on the roofs of surrounding buildings, competing for space with security personnel and snipers deployed to protect the man whom most Gujaratis want to see installed as India's next PM.
Chants of "Modi, Modi" split the air as he emerged from the polling station only to be swallowed up by a sea of people. He waved to the crowds, flashing a victory sign as his security detail fought hard to keep his supporters at bay.
After a short exchange with the waiting media, which included several international teams, he was off leaving behind a trail of dust.
His supporters, though, lingered on. "He's winning handsomely, you mark my word," one of them said. "And once he becomes PM, he'll be in the post until he dies."
India's general election, with 814 million eligible voters, is the world's biggest exercise in democracy and the governing Congress party is battling the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for power. Mr Modi is ahead in all the opinion polls.
He was greeted by cheering crowds lining the streets and on rooftops as he arrived at the polling station in Ahmedabad, Gujarat's biggest city. Voting was held in all 26 seats in the state.
Andhra Pradesh also voted on Wednesday for the last time as a united state before it is divided on 2 June.
Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh were among seven states and two union territories where 139 million eligible voters had to make their choice between some 1,300 candidates contesting 89 seats on Wednesday.
"The BJP will form a stable government in Delhi soon," Mr Modi said after casting his vote.
"The Congress party has already conceded defeat... It is the end of the mother-son government," he added, in a reference to the Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul.

Modi's clever pitch in Gujarat
But photographs of an upbeat Mr Modi holding a small white lotus flower, shown on television screens across India, have landed him in trouble with the Election Commission.
The commission said it had seen the video recordings of Mr Modi's speech and that it was evident that it was "a political speech intended and calculated to influence and affect the result of elections in the constituencies voting today". It has now ordered the authorities to register a case against him.
A spokesperson for the BJP said Mr Modi had done nothing wrong and that the party would respond to the Election Commission notice.
If found guilty, Mr Modi could be sent to jail for up to two years or asked to pay a fine, or both, but correspondents say it is unlikely to happen.
Mr Modi is standing for election in two seats - in the Hindu holy city of Varanasi as well as Vadodara in Gujarat. If he wins both seats, he will have to relinquish one.
In Andhra Pradesh - where voting for state assemblies is also taking place - brisk polling was reported through the day.
Election Commission of India
A large number of veiled Muslim women and old men sporting flowing beards stood in long queues waiting patiently for their turn to cast vote, BBC Hindi's Zubair Ahmad says.
In Hyderabad city, scores of people complained that their names were missing from the voters' list and in some polling centres electronic voting machines did not work.
The 17 parliamentary constituencies in Andhra Pradesh going to the polls on Wednesday are to be part of the newly-created state of Telangana.
Voting for the remaining 25 parliamentary seats which will constitute Andhra Pradesh after the state is split in two will be held on 7 May.
The marathon general election, which began on 7 April, will conclude on 12 May. Votes will be counted on 16 May.
Mr Johnson said the removal of a bust of Churchill from Obama's office was seen by some as a sign of an "ancestral dislike of the British Empire".
The comments in an article for The Sun were branded "idiotic" and "deeply offensive" by Churchill's grandson.
Mr Obama made clear his admiration for Britain's wartime leader in pointed remarks at a press conference.
He did not mention Mr Johnson by name but said he had a bust of Churchill outside the Treaty Room - his private office on the second floor of his official residence.
"Right outside the door of the Treaty Room, so that I see it every day - including on weekends when I'm going into that office to watch a basketball game - the primary image I see is a bust of Winston Churchill," he said.
"It's there voluntarily because I can do anything on the second floor. I love the guy."
It had been in the Oval Office, he said, but: "There are only so many tables where you can put busts otherwise it starts to looks a little cluttered."
As the first African American president, he said, a bust of Martin Luther King would be "appropriate", to remind him "of all the hard work of a lot of people who somehow allow me to have the privilege of holding this office".
He added: "That's just on Winston Churchill. I think people should know that, know my thinking there."
Mr Johnson said he was "delighted" by Mr Obama's backing for Churchill, but did not respond to questions about whether he had been trying to suggest the US President had a grudge against Britain.
Speaking earlier on a visit to a fast food restaurant in his Uxbridge constituency, Mr Johnson said: "The crucial point is that I'm a big fan of Barack Obama - I was one of the first people to come out in favour of him ages ago.
"But I think there's a weird paradox when the President of the Unites States, a country that would never dream of sharing its sovereignty over anything, instructs or urges us politely to get more embedded in the EU, which is already making 60% of our laws.
"I think the issue really is about democracy - America guards its democracy very jealously and I think we should be entitled to do so as well."
Downing Street said Mr Johnson was recycling "false" claims in relation to Churchill's bust.
Churchill's grandson, Conservative MP Sir Nicholas Soames, who is campaigning for Britain to remain in the EU, called the article "deplorable" and "completely idiotic".
He told LBC Radio: "I like to think, possibly - I'm mad enough to think - that it was probably written by some little twerp who works for Boris. I can't believe that Boris would really have done something so stupid, but whatever it is it bears his name and it is deeply offensive."
Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell called for Mr Johnson to withdraw his comment, writing on Twitter: "Mask slips again. Boris part-Kenyan Obama comment is yet another example of dog whistle racism from senior Tories."
Former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Campbell of Pittenweem said Mr Johnson's comments constituted an "unacceptable smear".
But UKIP leader Nigel Farage defended the comments, saying: "I think Obama, because of his grandfather and Kenya and colonisation, I think Obama bears a bit of a grudge against this country."
Stories about the removal of the Churchill bust were described by the White House in 2012 as "100% false".
"The bust still in the White House. In the Residence. Outside the Treaty Room," a senior adviser said in a rebuttal.
A Churchill bust lent to President George Bush by Tony Blair was removed from the Oval Office along with other art lent to the Bush presidency after Mr Obama's 2009 inauguration "as is common practice at the end of every presidency", the White House said at the time.
A separate bust of Britain's wartime leader, that has been in the White House since the early 1960s, remains on display.
Mr Johnson said in his article: "No-one was sure whether the president had himself been involved in the decision", adding: "Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president's ancestral dislike of the British Empire - of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender."
The London mayor, who penned a best-selling biography of Churchill, was born in New York but recently said he intends to renounce his American citizenship to prove his "commitment to Britain".
Manuel Valls came under pressure after using a government Falcon jet to take two sons to the match on Saturday.
He insists he was on an official trip to discuss the Euro 2016 championship, which France is hosting.
But Mr Valls said he was sensitive to public reaction and agreed to pay the costs for his children.
Speaking on a visit to the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, the PM said the trip was "nothing out of the ordinary" and stressed that his sons' presence added nothing to the cost.
But he said France had "no need for a pointless controversy" and "to remove any ambiguity, I decided to assume the cost of the trip for my two children".
The whole cost of the journey is said to have been around €20,000.
Aides close to Mr Valls said the €2,500 payment was based on the average price of taking a commercial flight for the round trip from Poitiers to Berlin.
However some commentators said the cost of hiring the Falcon jet, along with the security provision required, would be much more.
The prime minister says he travelled to the Champions League final to meet Uefa President Michel Platini to discuss issues such as Euro 2016 and the Fifa corruption scandal.
But the use of a government plane to transport him and his sons to see Barcelona beat Juventus 3-1 prompted disbelief.
Born in Barcelona, Mr Valls is a supporter of the European champions.
Earlier this week opposition MPs called on Mr Valls to pay back the cost of the flight, and he faced a series of jibes in the National Assembly.
The scandal sparked a storm of reaction on social media, with the hashtag #Vallsgate trending in France on Wednesday.
Correspondents say the row has threatened to overshadow major reforms aimed at softening labour laws for small and medium-sized businesses and adding tens of thousands of jobs to the labour market.
Under the "Small Business Act", businesses with no employees would be granted €4,000 (£2,920; $4,500) for giving their first worker a year-long contract.
Unemployment in France is at 10% and Mr Valls also proposed that employers should be allowed to extend temporary contracts up to a maximum of 18 months.
The Commission had applied more stringent restrictions to the march than in previous years.
The parade observed a single drumbeat passing by St Patrick's Catholic Church in Belfast on Friday evening.
Earlier, the Order lost a High Court bid to overturn restrictions on the parade along Clifton Street and Donegall Street.
The judge rejected claims that the Commission had not followed proper procedures in its Tour of the North determination.
Instead, he upheld the restrictions placed on the parade.
Afterwards, the Order said it was disappointed but would abide by the ruling.
Police said on Friday night that they were "encouraged by the manner in which all those present tonight conducted themselves and appreciate the efforts those involved went to in ensuring this was the case".
Mr Bryant, the former captain of the Los Angeles Lakers, told the Wall Street Journal he felt he has a talent for identifying entrepreneurs.
It is that talent and not his star power that the pair say they hope to bring to the companies they invest in.
The "Bryant Stibel" fund will invest in tech, media and data companies.
Mr Stibel is an entrepreneur and investor who founded several companies including Web.com.
Mr Bryant, 37, retired from basketball earlier this year after a 20-year career.
He has invested with Mr Stibel before, but this fund is the first formal partnership between them. The pair are financing the fund themselves.
Since 2013, they have invested in 15 companies together including sports website The Players Tribune, videogame designer Scopely, and legal-services company LegalZoom.
Mr Bryant who was known for his strong work ethic in basketball said, similar skills are needed for sport and growing a business.
"It's the inner belief that a person has that he will endure no matter what the obstacle may be. It's that persistence, the entrepreneur doing what he or she truly believes in and truly loves to do," he said.
The pair said the fund will last a few years and look to target companies where they feel they can add value through their business insight, and not through Mr Bryant's celebrity.
Mr Stibel told the Wall Street Journal, "We don't want to be in the business of investing in companies so someone can use Kobe as an endorser. That's not interesting. The point is to add real value".
Mr Bryant is not the first athlete to enter the investment world. An increasing number of sports starts and retired athletes are investing in venture capital funds and start-ups.
Former basketball player Shaquille O'Neal has invested in several tech start-ups. Footballers David Beckham and Thierry Henry have both turned their attentions to investing since retiring.
In the searing heat, Keegan and others waited, for hours. For so many people, this was a worthwhile way to show solidarity, support and strength, at a time of loss.
While no-one I spoke to in the queue was personally affected by this tragedy, people still felt compelled to give up their time in this way.
As the day progressed, the offers of help ballooned as volunteers turned up to help those who were waiting in the queue. Local restaurants arrived with food donations, church groups brought water, local companies donated portable fans.
This show of togetherness was demonstrated in the range of people who showed up - there was young and old, gay and straight. And people from all faiths.
"Orlando Strong" is how many describe the spirit here. And this show of help and love has demonstrated that.
"All the people lining up to donate says a lot about the diversity we have here in Orlando... and about the way that the community will come together.
"When things like this happen, communities need to pull together.
"A lot of people in this line do not personally know anyone affected, but we know it affects our community and we want people to know that we stand strong."

"After I heard about what happened last night I was pretty devastated about it. I wanted to give my support.
"I've been to the nightclub before but I wasn't there last night... Every time I've been there it's been pretty fun. It's a very friendly atmosphere. Everybody's having a good time, getting to know each other. There's never been any trouble there before so I was pretty surprised when I woke up this morning and heard about what happened.
"Since I've been here, I've felt very welcome. Orlando seems very gay-friendly.
"Last night a big attack on a specific group of people at a specific place - just to get so many people like that - was a big surprise to me."
LGBT community under siege
"We are here to help as much as we can... to share the hurt that everybody else has felt, we also feel the same. We condemn this act wholeheartedly.
"Hopefully the community will understand these [terrorist attacks] are acts of just a few people - they don't reflect what everybody else [in the Muslim community] feels... This is not an act that we encourage at all, or that we accept or condone.
"I believe we all want to live in a world that promotes peace, love, unity and harmony."

"I'm here to show my solidarity and to strongly condemn the shooting, the killing of innocent people. It is barbaric, it is satanic, it has no [place] in the world.
"Me as a Muslim, I'm here to tell the world that we are totally against it. This cannot be tolerated at all. Our hearts are with the victims and with the survivors and they will definitely be in our prayers.

The decree by President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov will see horses of the ancient Akhal-Teke breed take part in a competitition every April.
The best horses of the breed will be picked "to promote the glory of the heavenly racehorse worldwide", it says.
President Berdymukhamedov enjoys broad powers in the Central Asian nation.
The leader of the former Soviet republic is also reportedly known for being a competent horse rider.
Akhal-Teke horses are often given as gifts to foreign leaders and feature in Turkmenistan's national emblem, according to Reuters news agency.
The breed is distinguished by its glossy coat, long neck and legs, and famed for its speed and stamina.
Turkmenistan is the only former Soviet state in Central Asia where eating horse meat is strictly taboo.
The national competition will also include an award for the best carpet featuring the horse, the best "holiday attire" for the breed, the best portrait and the best scupture.
In 2004, the country's former president, Saparmurat Niyazov, opened a $20m (£12m) leisure centre for horses, complete with swimming pool, air conditioning and medical facilities.
He is one of thousands of landless labourers who have received land titles from the Venezuelan government.
"We used to be treated like slaves by the big landowners," he says.
"Now thanks to God and to Comandante Chavez we are free from that," he says referring to the former president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
Mr Diaz lives on the Maizal commune, which lies on the plains and mountains of two states, Lara and Portuguesa.
Two thousand families live on this land, which was expropriated by the government from its previous owner in 2009.
Many members of the commune, like Mr Diaz, have their own small plot of land, and also work together in the commune's large maize fields.
The commune has a clinic and a school.
Venezuela's parliamentary opposition says the expropriations were arbitrary and lawless; it has proposed a new law which would allow former owners to claim back expropriated land.
But people here say they will not give up the land easily.
"We won't let the big landowners come back and make us slaves again," says Mr Diaz.
The cool mountain villages of Palo Verde and Monte Carmelo lie in the foothills of the Andes, a few hours' drive from the Maizal commune.
Here, too, many of the smallholders support the government.
While the opposition won a resounding two-thirds victory in last December's parliamentary elections, in this rural region, pro-government candidates swept the board.
Erica Silva's husband rents a smallholding growing yucca and black beans.
They live in a brightly painted new house built by the government.
"I support the revolution 1,000%," she says.
"The government has built houses, sold cheap food and opened a hospital. They have done many beautiful things."
She is enrolled in the government's education programme, Mission Robinson. "I left school at 14, now I am studying again."
So if Venezuela's small farmers are cultivating crops, why has Venezuelan food production stagnated and actually declined in per capita terms?
To answer that question you need to speak to farmers who are not rich but who have slightly more land and on whom Venezuela used to rely to grow food for the market.
Eligio Lucena rents a few hectares of land and employs up to 12 people to cultivate potatoes.
He says the government's tight controls on imports have made it impossible to get hold of seeds and fertilizer.
"It's crippling us. Many people round here have the land all prepared for sowing, but we can't get hold of the seeds."
His father, Jose, used to herd sheep, goats and pigs, but says that the government's price controls destroyed his business.
"[Hugo] Chavez sold meat so cheaply, he was practically giving it away, and no-one round here would buy my pork anymore."
Many basic foodstuffs, such as maize flour, rice, beans, milk and eggs, are in such short supply that they are now rationed by the state.
The government blames the shortages on an "economic war" by big landowners and food companies which, its says, are refusing to produce and distribute food in order to undermine the left-wing government.
But this charge is rejected by Carlos Odoardo Albornoz, the president of the Venezuelan federation of cattle ranchers.
"If we had wanted to destabilise the government, they wouldn't have been in power for the last 17 years, would they?"
The real problem, he says, is that while world oil prices were high, the government relied on food imports, which were sold at such low prices that it was impossible for Venezuelan farmers to compete.
Now that oil prices have fallen and the country has fewer dollars to spend on imports, the Venezuelan agricultural sector is too weak to fill the gap.
"In the last ten years, we have had a policy of relying on imports, which has destroyed the national productive apparatus, not only in the countryside, but in industry and transport.
"This is an economy that has been driven by ideology and slogans, with little incentives for national producers," he says.
Many small farmers say the revolution has improved their lives.
Poverty levels were falling and nutrition levels were rising until the collapse in world oil prices pushed Venezuela into economic crisis.
But now, as queues and shortages plague Venezuela, the policy of using oil dollars to pay for cheap food imports, at the expense of the country's own farmers, looks very short-sighted.
World number two Djokovic, playing his second match following an elbow injury, lost 6-2 3-6 7-5 in the quarter-final.
Goffin, who had not previously beaten a top-three player, will meet Spanish 14-time major winner Rafael Nadal.
Meanwhile, Britain's Andy Murray will play in Barcelona next week following his early exit in Monte Carlo.
Goffin, ranked 13th in the world, earned his first career win over Djokovic by taking his fifth match point in a dramatic 11-minute final game.
It ended the Serb's hopes of a third title in Monte Carlo, which is an ATP World Tour 1000 event and considered a key part of preparations for the French Open in May.
The 12-time Grand Slam champion looked in trouble after losing the first set and then suffering a heavy fall early in the second.
But he showed no serious damage after falling into the courtside advertising hoardings, improving to break Goffin's serve in game four as he went on to level.
Goffin, 26, lost his serve in the opening game of the decider, only to fight back and level at 4-4 by taking his seventh break point of the set.
The pair traded holds in the next three games before nerves appeared to affect Goffin as he squandered four match points in what proved to be the final game.
But he refocused to win at the fifth attempt when Djokovic, who had been given a time violation moments earlier, hit a forehand into the net.
It was Goffin's first win in six meetings with Djokovic and his first victory in 15 matches against a player ranked in the top three.
Nadal, nicknamed the 'King of Clay' and a nine-time previous champion in Monte Carlo, is the heavy favourite to triumph following the exits of Djokovic, Murray and Stan Wawrinka.
The 30-year-old won 6-4 6-4 in his quarter-final against Diego Schwartzman.
The Argentine, whose three wins this week will move him into the world's top 40 for the first time on Monday, fought back from 4-1 down to 4-4 in the opening set before Nadal regained control.
The 24-year-old remained unfazed by his illustrious opponent, breaking Nadal's serve to lead 4-2 in the second.
But Nadal dug deep to rattle off four straight games and ensure Schwartzman's winless run against top 10 opponents was extended to a 10th match.
Earlier, Spanish clay-court specialist Albert Ramos-Vinolas followed up his victory over Murray with a 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 victory against Croatian fifth seed Marin Cilic.
He will play France's Lucas Pouille, who beat Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas 6-0 3-6 7-5, in Saturday's other semi-final.
Andy Murray, 29, has accepted a last-minute wildcard at the Barcelona Open as he looks to continue his own recovery from an elbow injury.
The world number one, who fell to a shock third-round defeat by Ramos, is looking to build up clay-court time before Roland Garros.
The Scot will join Nadal and six other members of the world's top 20 in the Barcelona draw.
Jamie Murray followed his younger brother out of the Monte Carlo event when he was knocked out of the men's doubles quarter-finals on Friday.
The 31-year-old and Brazilian partner Bruno Soares, who were seeded third, lost 2-6 7-6 3-10 against wildcard French pair Hugo Nys and Romain Ameodo.

ANM Group had said the new business park at Thainstone, near Inverurie, could create hundreds of jobs.
Objections were raised to the project, with concerns over the potential visual impact on the landscape and possible traffic congestion.
ANM Group said it would consider its options after the Garioch area committee decision.
Pat Machray, ANM Group chairman, said: "We are deeply disappointed with the outcome of today's decision regarding the extension of Thainstone Business Park.
"This is obviously not only a setback for us, but for the whole of Inverurie and the north east agricultural industry."
One objector, Dr Paul Davison, told BBC Scotland after the decision: "I think the people of Garioch should be very proud of their local councillors.
"I think the indication we got was they would look at another submission."
He said the proposed site was high up on the Thainstone ridge which was a local beauty spot right in front of the "famous view of Bennachie" which they wanted to preserve at all costs.
If approved, work had been due to start later this year, with the first building due for completion in early 2018.

If Labour form the next government, Ed Miliband said he would act immediately to curb "massive" rent hikes which have forced some people out of their homes.
New tenants in England would have the right to find out what predecessors paid to help negotiate the "best deal".
The Conservatives say rent controls "destroy investment in housing".
Critics warn capping rents could reduce investment in new housing.
As the last full week of campaigning before the 7 May election gets under way, a clutch of polls suggested there remains little to choose between the Conservatives and Labour, with most experts still predicting a hung Parliament with no party winning outright.
A Survation poll for the Mail on Sunday has given the Conservatives (33%) a four-point lead over Labour (29%) while an Opinium poll for the Observer has the Conservatives on 34% and Labour on 33%.
A You Gov poll for the Sunday Times put Labour (34%) two points ahead of the Conservatives (32%).
Housing is a key election battleground, with all the major parties promising to build hundreds of thousands of new homes over the next five years to address what campaigners say is a chronic shortage of new housing stock.
On Sunday, Mr Miliband will set out Labour's policies for helping "generation rent" - the millions of people who the opposition say have been priced out of the housing market in recent years and are trapped in short-term, often insecure rental agreements.
Labour have already announced plans to extend the typical tenancy agreement from a year or less to three years following a probationary period of six months. Estate agents will also be banned from requiring fees from tenants before they move in.
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
But the Labour leader said he wanted to do more to stop the estimated 4.5 million households renting privately from being "ripped off".
He is pledging to cap rents during the course of the standard three-year tenancies so they cannot rise by more than the CPI measure of inflation, which is currently 0%, while allowing flexibility for them to be reduced.
While market rates will still apply at the start of a contract, tenants will have a legal right to know what the previous tenant paid, which Labour says will put them in a stronger position to negotiate and make substantial rent rises between contracts less likely.
Labour says three-year tenancy agreements should become the norm, with landlords having to give two months' notice before asking a tenant to leave and only if they have a "good reason" to do so. The rent cap would not apply to those who have agreed shorter contracts with their landlords, such as students or business people needing flexibility.
The party claims rents are, on average, £1,200 higher than they were in 2010, with some tenants in London facing double digit rises in a single year.
The UK rental market is far less regulated than its European counterparts, Labour argues, with one shadow minister recently comparing the London market to the "Wild West"
Confirming that Labour would legislate for the changes in their first Queen's Speech, Ed Miliband said action was needed to help those "struggling to meet the costs of putting a roof over their head".
"Some are having to move all the time, ripping up the roots they have laid down at work or with friends, even having to change their kids schools," he said.
With house prices reaching record levels in south-east England in recent years, more and more families are renting from private landlords.
It's estimated that nearly four and a half million households in England currently live in private rented accommodation. That's double the number a decade ago - and now accounts for one in five of all households.
Ed Miliband has already said he would give tenants more security by introducing three-year tenancies. Landlords would have limited grounds for regaining possession during this time - but tenants could still leave by giving a months notice.
Now the Labour leader is going further by pledging to freeze rents in real terms for the duration of the three-year tenancy.
Rents would still be set at a market rate initially but landlords would have to tell prospective tenants what they had charged previously to help in negotiations. Both the British Property Federation and the Association of Residential Lettings Agents have warned that rent controls could reduce investment in the supply of new rented housing.
"Labour has a better plan. The security of three-year tenancies for all who want them with rents capped, so they can fall but not rise by more than inflation. The rights they need to negotiate a decent deal with landlords and stop rip-off letting fees."
Labour is also warning "rogue" landlords that they face losing tax relief enabling them to offset 10% of their annual rental income against falls in the value of furniture and appliances.
If properties are not adequately maintained, Mr Miliband said landlords would not be able to claim all of the so-called "wear and tear allowance", arguing they should not be "subsidised for providing accommodation that fails to meet basic standards."
He added: "This is a plan for a stable, decent, prosperous private rental market where landlords and tenants can succeed together."
Conservative communities minister Brandon Lewis said Mr Miliband was "re-launching a policy that descended into chaos when it was first announced".
"Rent controls never work - they force up rents and destroy investment in housing leading to fewer homes to rent and poorer quality accommodation.
"The only way to have affordable rents is to continue to build more homes."
The Conservatives have placed increased home ownership at the heart of their housing plans, pledging to extend the Help to Buy Scheme to 2020 and extend the Right-to-Buy scheme to up to 1.3 million tenants of housing associations.
Under their plans, housing association tenants would get the same discounts to buy their homes as council tenants currently enjoy.
The Liberal Democrats are promising young people still living with their parents a loan to help pay for a deposit on a rented home of their own.
They can declare their love for a suitor and end their marriages, as long as the community knows about the impending split in advance. They can even elope.
It is a far cry from large swathes of Pakistan where a conservative Islamic outlook dictates how women behave and the rights they have.
But in the Kalash valley a more liberal approach prevails, partly because of its unique religion and culture. The Kalash people are not Islamic - they worship a pantheon of gods and goddesses and hold exuberant festivals inspired by the seasons and the farming year.
"In our religion, you can choose whoever you want to marry, the parents don't dictate to you," says Mehmood, a 17-year-old Kalash girl who accompanied me as we scaled a labyrinthine puzzle of small houses set into the mountain face.
In this close society, one person's roof is somebody else's veranda. Little staircases connect one house to another and it felt like climbing into a tree house in the clouds.
Through the wooden window frames and ladders of the houses were panoramic views of immense jagged stones and gloriously green mountains surrounding this secluded valley.
Sahiba, a happy-go-lucky, 20-year-old with two children, lives in one of these houses and she told me about how she ran away with her husband during one festival.
"I met my husband the way I'm talking to you... I got to know him for three years before marrying him," she said.
"When there is a festival whoever the girl is in love with she can run away with him... and that's how I left with the man who is now my husband."
She explains how after they ran away together they went to stay at his parents house.
"You can stay for as long as you want, there's no specific time, but finally after two months we got to my parents house and after that we got married."
It's an unconventional courtship but this is an unconventional place. Certain tasks are still segregated. Women generally do the housework while the men do trade and labour work. Both men and women farm.
The Kalash attitude to gender is also defined by notions of purity. Some rituals can be executed only by men. The temple itself near the area of the seasonal spring festival is off-limits to women as well as Muslims.
Women must wash clothing and bathe separately. And during their menstrual cycle and in pregnancy women live a separate house outside the village. They can go to the fields to work, but they are not meant to enter the village.
Yasir, one Kalash man, said: "Women are considered impure, but women are highly respected in society.
"There are only a few things women are not meant to do."
Indeed marriage and divorce is simpler for women than for men. Jamrat, 22, left her husband after a year and now lives with another man at his parents' house. Her ex-husband converted to Islam, re-married and moved to a neighbouring village.
But there are financial considerations too.
"The second husband needs to give double the amount of money the first husband gave at the time of the marriage because for the first husband it's like he lost his money AND his wife," she says.
If the woman does not re-marry, the ex-husband has the right to retrieve the money from the bride's father. Although Jamrat is technically not married to her new partner, he nonetheless had to give 60,000 rupees ($700; £425) to the first husband.
The Kalash women I met in Rumbur and Balanguru are bold and outspoken. They look you in the eye when talking and do not hesitate to speak their mind.
In this small village - far above the hot chaos of Pakistan's main cities and towns - the patriarchy that informs most aspects of life in the rest of the country is clearly non-existent.

The PM was talking about this week's anti-corruption summit in London.
"We've got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain... Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world," he was overheard saying.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, elected last year after vowing to fight corruption, said he was "shocked".
And a senior Afghan official said the characterisation was "unfair".
After Mr Cameron's comments, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby intervened to say: "But this particular president is not corrupt... he's trying very hard," before Speaker John Bercow said: "They are coming at their own expense, one assumes?"
The conversation took place at Buckingham Palace at an event to mark the Queen's 90th birthday, attended by political leaders and other public figures.
At a garden party later on Tuesday, the Queen herself was caught on camera making unguarded comments about the Chinese government.
She told a senior police officer that she had heard the Chinese had been very rude to Britain's ambassador to China during President Xi's state visit last year. The Queen also agreed that the Chinese state visit had been a testing time for the police and told the officer it was "bad luck" that she had been in charge of security at the time.
James Landale, BBC diplomatic correspondent
On the face of it, it is perhaps one of the most undiplomatic things a prime minister could say - to describe two countries as fantastically corrupt just hours before their leaders visit Britain.
The prime minister's remarks were outspoken and unguarded but they were not untrue. Both Afghanistan and Nigeria come high on lists of the world's most corrupt nations.
And later in the conversation, the prime minister agreed with the Archbishop of Canterbury that President Buhari of Nigeria is not corrupt himself and is trying very hard to tackle the problem.
A Downing Street spokesman noted both men had written openly about the subject in a collection of essays being published this week.
So this was a truthful gaffe, another moment when the prime minister was caught on camera saying something ostensibly embarrassing.
Labour said Mr Cameron had egg on his face. But, as Downing Street acknowledged, the cameras were very close to the prime minister and his anti-corruption summit is now very firmly in the headlines.
In Transparency International's 2015 corruption perception index, Afghanistan was ranked at 167, ahead of only Somalia and North Korea, Nigeria was at 136.
With his remark, the archbishop was believed to have been referring to Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari, who won elections last year promising to fight widespread corruption.
In response, Mr Buhari said his government was deeply "shocked and embarrassed" by the PM's comments. Speaking through his spokesman, he suggested that Mr Cameron must be referring to Nigeria's past notoriety for corruption before his coming to power last year.
The Afghan embassy in London said tackling corruption was one of President Ghani's top priorities and "bold" action had been taken.
"We have made important progress in fighting systematic capture in major national procurement contracts and are making progress on addressing institutional issues as well as issues related to impunity... Therefore calling Afghanistan in that way is unfair."
No 10 said the presidents of Nigeria and Afghanistan had "acknowledged the scale of the corruption challenge they face in their countries".
The government will host world and business leaders at the summit on Thursday in London, aiming to "galvanise a global response to tackle corruption". Speaking ahead of the summit, Mr Cameron said: "For too long there has been a taboo about tackling this issue head-on.
"The summit will change that. Together we will push the fight against corruption to the top of the international agenda where it belongs."
But Labour said a Tory government "hosting an anti-corruption summit is like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop".
"The government is refusing to take meaningful action to close Britain's constellation of tax havens, which together constitute the largest financial secrecy network in the world," said shadow international development secretary Diane Abbott.
Transparency International said the UK's record was mixed and concrete action was needed on tax evasion and secrecy in the wake of the Panama Papers disclosures, stopping tainted firms from bidding for public contracts and protecting whistleblowers who expose corruption.
Last year Mr Cameron was recorded talking about Yorkshire people "hating each other" - and he was previously caught revealing how the Queen "purred" with pleasure when he told her the Scottish independence referendum result.
Nicola Farningham claimed she was a single mother but was living with her husband Paul at their Dundee home.
A court was told the mother-of-four had been forced to sell her house to start paying back the money.
Farningham, 39 admitted a charge under the Tax Credits Act committed between 15 May 2005 and 14 July 2014.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard previously that she was employed as a tax credits advisor in HMRC's Dundee call centre, advising the public about child and working tax credits.
Depute fiscal Eilidh Robertson told the court that an HMRC investigation was launched in 2014 following a tip-off.
She said: "The investigation into the accused established that she had married Paul Farningham on 7 September 2007 and that they had four children together.
"The accused and Mr Farningham had shared a joint bank account since 2004 and a joint mortgage for their property which they bought together in 2005.
"When she was interviewed the accused said they had not been co-habiting at any stage despite buying a property and having four children."
The court was told that a compensation order of £40,410 to be paid within six months had been agreed.
Kevin Hampton, defending, said: "Subject to the house being sold she will pay more towards the outstanding debt.
"She understands she is in a very difficult position today, given length of time and the amount involved.
"This was not to fund an extravagant lifestyle or excessive spending.
"This money all went towards bills, primarily child care."
"This has had and will have a devastating effect on her."
Sheriff Alastair Carmichael jailed Farningham for 21 weeks and told her: "It's a sad and familiar tale.
"Ultimately though, it's a fraud on public finances."
The driver and passenger were in a people carrier which was in collision with a lorry and a third vehicle in the early hours, Surrey Police said.
Other people who were travelling in the HGV and the third vehicle managed to escape uninjured after the crash at Junction 12 for the M3, near Chobham.
Officers have not yet named those who died but have informed their relatives.
M25 closures causing major disruption continued for about seven hours after the collision, which happened at about 03:10 BST, but the motorway has now fully reopened.
Police and Highways England worked to recover the vehicles for investigation work.
Anyone who saw what happened or who has dashcam footage is urged to contact Surrey Police.
Sanjeev Chada, 43, from Ballinkillen, County Carlow, was further remanded in custody when he appeared before a district court in County Roscommon.
The bodies of Eoghan Chada, 10, and his five-year-old brother, RuairÃ, were discovered in a vehicle driven by their father in County Mayo on Monday.
Their father was charged with their murders on Thursday night.
Mr Chada had sustained minor injuries when the car he was driving crashed into a wall at Rosbeg, near Westport, on Monday.
He was treated at Mayo Hospital, but was later discharged and arrested.
On Friday, Mr Chada faced Harristown Court in Castlerea for a brief hearing, less than 14 hours after his first appearance at a special sitting of Swinford District Court, charged with the two murders.
Police applied for the accused to be remanded in custody for two weeks.
Mr Chada's solicitor told the judge he was concerned that his client should be looked after and inquired about the possibility of psychiatric help.
The judge directed appropriate medical treatment for Mr Chada, but not a psychiatric report.
Mr Chada is to appear at Harristown Court again on 16 August.
A joint funeral for Eoghan and Ruairà is set to take place on Friday.
The Motherwell boss will not be in the dugout for the games against Kilmarnock and Aberdeen following the incidents at Dundee's Dens Park on 5 November.
McGhee will incur a ban for a third match if he again breaches Scottish FA disciplinary rule 203 this season.
Two further charges against McGhee were dropped at Thursday's hearing.
These were adopting "aggressive behaviour towards a match official; and/or" adopting "aggressive behaviour towards a steward".
Well lost the match in Dundee 2-0, with both goals coming after a controversial incident in the first half.
The visitors claimed the ball had crossed the line when Dundee goalkeeper David Mitchell collided with a post while clutching an over-hit Scott McDonald cross.
Prior to the outcome of McGhee's hearing, Motherwell player-assistant manager James McFadden was asked at the club's media conference about the possibility of the manager's absence from the dugout.
"It won't really change," said McFadden.
"The manager, contrary to belief, is quite reserved on the touchline and I'm the one that does all the shouting.
"I think the team will be set up the same way, the structures will be the same and it will just be a continuation of what's been happening anyway."
However, McFadden admitted McGhee's absence from the technical area could hinder his chance of playing.
The 33-year-old played for Motherwell's under-20s this week to maintain his fitness in case he is called upon.
"I hadn't been playing so I was just making sure I was ready if required, because we've got a lot of games coming up and in case we get any injuries," explained McFadden.
"But I need to be ready just in case because we are quite short on numbers and I want to still play. We'll just see how that goes."
He called on the Commons speaker to intervene after waves of MPs were seen tapping away during Philip Hammond's statement and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's response.
Mr McDonnell urged MPs to listen to the debate - and comment afterwards.
He also criticised Budget jokes at Labour's expense, saying the country needs a chancellor not a comedian.
In an interview on ITV's Good Morning Britain he said: "I don't think it is appropriate, but it happens right the way across the parties... they are all tweeting away.
"Actually what they are doing - and I can understand why they are doing it - they are listening to the debate and they are having their own running commentary.
"My view is you concentrate on the debate - you make your comment afterwards."
"I think it is something the Speaker might want to comment on because actually, I think it is discourteous," he said.
Mr McDonnell also criticised Mr Hammond for using his Budget speech to make a serious of jokes aimed at the Labour leadership.
Among Mr McDonnell's jokes was one where he said the Labour leader was "so far down a black hole that even Stephen Hawking has disowned him", in a reference to the scientist's criticism earlier in the week.
Mr McDonnell told the BBC: "I thought it was nasty, but also to be frank, I want a chancellor in charge of our economy, not a stand-up comedian.
"Yesterday was not the day, when you are inflicting suffering on people by raising National Insurance, you're not addressing the NHS crisis, you're not tackling the problems we have in social care.
"It was not a day for jokes like that - it was more stand-up than it was serious economics."
The Lions, who were victorious under Gatland in Australia in 2013, travel to world champions New Zealand next year.
Lions chief executive John Feehan has said Gatland is the leading contender to take charge again.
"If they want to select Warren, we'd feel good about that," Phillips said.
"It's because Wales are performing well and he's coaching well."
Gatland's role with the Lions saw him miss the 2013 Six Nations but his assistant Rob Howley guided Wales to the title with a 30-3 victory over England in the final game.
His principal rival for the 2017 Lions job is widely seen as Ireland's Joe Schmidt, with Scotland's Vern Cotter yet to taste Six Nations success and England's Eddie Jones only just installed in his new national job.
"None of us would want to stand in the way of Warren getting that role," Phillips, who succeeded Roger Lewis as WRU chief, added.
"Although he's possibly one of the best coaches in the world, it would make him an even better coach because he would get a whole new set of experiences and we'd benefit from those in the years after he comes back.
"If he is asked, that's hopefully because we have performed well in the Six Nations."
The decision will be made after the summer tours by the four countries involved. The 2017 tour manager John Spencer indicated that two or three candidates are likely to be interviewed.
Morgan has also played for Reading, Luton Town, Crewe Alexandra, Southend United, MK Dons, Chesterfield, Oxford United and Woking.
The 32-year-old had a spell with Italian side U.S. Ancona 1905 earlier in the season before signing for Warren Feeney's side.
"The manager is someone I have known for a good number of years," Morgan said.
"I'm hoping that I can now get match fit and help the team progress and push on in the league."
"I feel that I have been playing consistently throughout my career and now I want to push
on and score a few goals during my time here with Newport."
Francis McCabe Jr was injured and there are concerns he may lose an eye. He is in a stable condition in hospital.
It is reported a device exploded as he tried to remove a poster from a lamppost outside Crossmaglen.
It is thought the poster claimed that a second individual was a security forces informer, or "tout".
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said the attack followed a campaign of intimidation against people "who have taken huge personal risks advocating accountable policing".
Police set up a cordon at the scene on Thursday while the site of the explosion was examined.
Parts of what is believed to have been an exploded pipe bomb have been taken away for further examination, a PSNI spokesman said.
The Blaney Road and Corliss Road, which were closed for several hours, have now reopened.
Insp Lorraine Dobson said: "I would like to again thank the public for their co-operation and I would reiterate that if anyone notices any suspicious objects in the area, they should not touch them.
"Rather, report it to police immediately."
Workers from the RMT and the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) unions are scheduled to walk out for 24 hours from 18:00 GMT on Sunday.
Conciliation service Acas said representatives from both unions and LU will attend, despite the RMT suggesting earlier that all discussions were over.
The dispute is over staffing numbers.
Transport for London (TfL) has warned the majority of central London Tube stations will be closed and there will be "limited services" in outer London, if the strike goes ahead.
Talks between both unions and LU had broken down on Friday afternoon with BBC London transport correspondent Tom Edwards describing the sides as being "miles apart" over an agreement.
After discussions had ended, RMT general secretary Mick Cash accused LU of "failing to come up with any serious plans to tackle the staffing and safety crisis".
"Instead of resolving the issues Tube bosses have chosen instead to ramp up the rhetoric with threats to mobilise a strike-breaking army of 'ambassadors'," he said.
TSSA representative Mel Taylor, who was at the talks, said TfL's proposals for increasing staff levels were "just not enough".
"We're now in a total crisis situation so there needs to be something fairly drastic immediately as well as a longer-term solution to staffing on the Tube".
TfL previously said it would address the recommendations of a recent report which found the closure of ticket offices had caused "significant issues" for Tube passengers.
Steve Griffiths, chief operating officer for LU, said there was "no need" for the strike as more workers were already being employed and "around 500 staff will be recruited for stations this year".
"All of this will ensure that our customers feel safe, fully supported and able to access the right assistance in our stations at all times," he said.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he had "instructed TfL to work around the clock throughout the weekend to continue negotiating."
He said progress had been made with "a good deal on the table" and urged unions to call the strike off.
Thomas Bennett, 24, originally from Plymouth, tried to save the life of a 19-year-old in Honolulu.
The teenager was on a 14th storey window ledge at the University of Hawaii from which both men fell, leaving Mr Bennett dead and his friend seriously injured.
A coroner in Plymouth has concluded he died accidentally.
The pair are believed to have been attending a party when the incident happened in the early hours of 16 August.
More on the inquest and other Devon and Cornwall stories
According to witnesses, they were holding on to a glass pane for support when it shattered, causing both of them to plummet to the ground.
Mr Bennett was born in the UK but was brought up in the US, in Philadelphia, where he lived for 14 years.
Three years ago he moved to Hawaii, where he worked as a landscaper.
His funeral was held in Plymouth, where his mother still lives.
He is believed to have been attending the party of a friend, Ted Guillory, at the Hale Wainani dormitory on 16 August shortly before the start of the new university term.
Coroner Ian Arrow called Mr Bennett a "brave and noble" man and recorded a verdict of accidental death.
Speaking after the inquest his mother said she had forgiven the 19-year-old whose attempt to jump led to the fall.
Lesley Heard, 51, from Plymouth, said: "We have messaged each other several times but I felt it was really important to tell him that I knew it was an accident, that he was under great pressure at the time and I didn't blame him."
Along with his mother Mr Bennett leaves behind his father Chris and siblings Annaliese, Emily, Ross and Isabelle.
The Ambassador car used to be one of India's most prestigious vehicles beloved by government ministers. But it has been out of production since 2014.
It is not clear whether Peugeot will revive the brand.
Based on the British Morris Oxford, the Ambassador was for three decades India's bestselling car.
Peugeot has long been keen to get a foothold in India and was one of the first foreign car makers to enter the country in the mid-1990s when the economy first was liberalised.
The Ambassador was from the 1960s to the mid-1980s a status symbol in India and was the only mass produced luxury car on the market.
Although not renowned for its good looks, the car did win plaudits for its spacious interior and sound suspension, which was ideally suited to Indian roads. It was also one of the first diesel cars to appear in India and one of the first to have air conditioning.
But its downfall was as spectacular as its rise - dropping from sales of more than 20,000 models in the mid 1980s to about 2,000 in 2013-14 when production was suspended.

The car was also renowned for its idiosyncrasies.
The handbrake rarely worked properly - instead spawning a generation of drivers that could easily do hill starts deftly balancing the accelerator and brake.
The indicator controls were often mounted in unusual positions, its brakes were notoriously soft and its steering lock was virtually non-existent.
They were all part of the fun this week at one of Europe's largest agricultural events.
The 85th Irish National Ploughing Championships took place over three days in Tullamore, County Offaly.
And with a record attendance of 283,000 - including Olympic rowing silver medallist celebrities Gary and Paul Donovan - organisers declared the event the most successful ever.
Marie Byrne from Kilkenny was among the thousands of exhibitors showing off her rather unusual invention: a sheep spa.
The unique contraption allows sheep to have a bath and a pedicure (well, powder bath and a foot treatment for foot rot), get their minerals and have a good old scratch on the scratching post.
It wasn't all ploughing and sheep shearing at this year's event: the tractor football match was extremely popular with attendees.
And, as well as sheep-shearing and dancing, there was also a fashion show element to proceedings.
Wellies and tweed were the order of the day on the catwalk.
Greater Manchester passengers will be the first to get the new payment format, to be introduced in 2015.
The scheme will also be rolled out in Tyne and Wear, Merseyside, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire as well as Nottingham, Leicester and Bristol, according to transport chiefs.
Oyster cards launched in 2003 in London, where buses are now cashless.
In the West Midlands, nearly 30 operators are already part of the Swift smart multi-operating ticketing scheme.
Greater Manchester is rolling out its "get me there" travel card across its Metrolink trams.
The bus initiative involves the Stagecoach, First, Arriva, Go Ahead and National Express companies.
In a joint statement, the chief executives of the companies involved said the move would deliver a "wider benefit than the capital's Oyster system".
They said: "Millions of people in our biggest city regions will benefit from this transformational initiative to provide London-style smart ticketing.
"Bus operators share the aspirations of our city regions to become growing economic powerhouses and we know high quality public transport is an important part of making that happen."
The Gulls let in two second-half goals to exit the competition at the first-round stage for the first time since they dropped to non-league in 2014.
"We're a good side when we stick to a game plan," Nicholson told BBC Devon.
"In the first half we executed it and should have been 3-0 up at half-time, but didn't take our chances."
Nicholson continued: "What changes in the second half I don't know. You have to go out and keep doing what you've been successful doing and eventually you'll get your goal.
"I'm disappointed to be out, we were the architects of our own downfall."
The game was Torquay's first without on-loan Forest Green striker Kieffer Moore, who scored five goals in Torquay's previous four league games.
"All the questions are going to be 'is it all about Kieffer Moore?'," added Nicholson.
"It's not. The lads had the chances there, they did the game plan in the first half and they were looking good.
"They have to realise that you cannot go away from doing the basics right. If you do that and you start thinking you're better than what you are, then what's just happened will happen to you."
Ignacio Echeverría, 39, saw the attack unfolding at London Bridge on Saturday night, and rushed to help the woman.
Friends with him at the time told his family what had happened.
Reports say Mr Echeverría is not listed among the dead. His sister has gone to London hospitals, but there is no news of him being among the injured.
In a message on Facebook his father Joaquín Echeverría urged members of the public to help find his son, posting details of Ignacio.
At least one other Spaniard is in a London hospital, lightly injured after the terror attack at London Bridge.
Reports say Ignacio Echeverría came upon the scene at London Bridge while cycling back from a park with two friends, with whom he had been skateboarding.
In a Facebook post, his father said: "They saw him lying on the floor on the sidewalk after defending someone with his skateboard."
Apparently Ignacio did not have ID on him at the time. The Spanish embassy and HSBC Bank, his employer in London, are helping to search for him.
On Saturday night three men rammed their van into pedestrians on London Bridge, then went on a stabbing rampage at nearby bars and restaurants, before police shot them dead.
They killed seven and wounded dozens more, of whom 21 are now critically ill in hospital.
The attack has been claimed by so-called Islamic State. At least one of the killers had shouted "this is for Allah!" during the attack, witnesses said.
The charges were dropped just weeks before the 2009 election which led to Jacob Zuma becoming president.
Ruling on the case brought by the opposition Democratic Alliance, the judge said the decision to drop the charges was "irrational".
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) now has to decide if it wants to reinstate the charges.
Mr Zuma always denied the allegations which are linked to the government arms deal worth billions of dollars.
Last week, a judge-led commission of inquiry found no evidence of corruption or fraud by any government officials at the time.
"Today is a great victory for the rule of law and ultimately we believe that Jacob Zuma must face prosecution and this judgement certainly affirms the view that we've always held," Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane said after the ruling.
"I congratulate my colleagues who've worked exceptionally hard on this case; it's been a long battle."

This may be the latest in a series of legal blows to President Jacob Zuma but it is not yet time to celebrate for the opposition DA, which brought the case.
The NPA will have to decide if it wants to reinstate the charges. As the judge ruled the NPA's prosecution of this case has been heavily politicised - and it is not clear whether it will want to take on the president.
Mr Zuma, 74, may be under increasing pressure from opposition parties to step down but he is not going without a fight. In spite of the knock to his public image, he still has a place in the hearts of many in South Africa. The ruling ANC secured a huge victory in the 2014 election - many of the votes coming from rural South Africa where these court battles have little influence and Mr Zuma knows that.
An opposition attempt to impeach him earlier this month failed because they simply do not have the numbers. The president would take note only if voters rose up against him - local elections later this year will be the real indication of whether any ground has shifted. But until then, he and the ANC see these court battles as attempts by a few to force him from power undemocratically.
It was dubbed the "spy tapes" case after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) dropped the charges in 2009.
The authority said new phone-tap evidence suggested political interference in the investigation.
South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) said the High Court's ruling did not deal with the merits of any allegations against the president.
"The ANC has consistently supported the legal maxim that justice delayed is justice denied. This matter has dragged on for close to a decade and the ANC is pleased therefore that it now appears closer to resolution, seven years since the NPA decision," it said in a statement.
What are the spy tapes?
Judge Aubrey Ledwaba said Mr Mpshe had "found himself under pressure" when he decided to discontinue the prosecution and "consequently made an irrational decision".
"Considering the situation in which he found himself, Mr Mpshe ignored the importance of the oath of office which commanded him to act independently and without fear and favour.
"It is thus our view that the envisaged prosecution against Mr Zuma was not tainted by the allegations against Mr McCarthy.
"Mr Zuma should face the charges as outlined in the indictment."
This is the latest legal setback for the South African president.
Last month, South Africa's highest court found that he had breached the constitution by failing to repay public money used to upgrade his private home.
It backed an earlier ruling by an anti-corruption body that said $23m (£15m) of public money had been improperly spent on Mr Zuma's rural home in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province.
Controversial arms deal: What you need to know
South Carolina had 15 weather-related deaths, six of them as a result of floodwaters sweeping over vehicles.
Tuesday was the first dry day in Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, since 24 September, but a full recovery is still a way off.
Authorities are warning residents that more evacuations are possible.
Masses of floodwater are flowing toward the ocean, compromising dams and displacing people.
"God smiled on South Carolina because the sun is out," said South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
That is a good sign, she added but with a note of caution.
"We are going to be extremely careful. We are watching this minute by minute."
The 15th person killed in flooding in South Carolina was named as 30-year-old Sampson Pringle.
His body was recovered from a lake on Tuesday morning.
Earlier in the day, a coroner identified a man found drowned in his car as Richard Nelson Milroy, who was 82 and lived in Columbia.
In Charleston, streets are closed and sandbags are piled up to keep floodwaters out.
Safe drinking water was still hard to come by on Tuesday, with 40,000 homes lacking potable water in Columbia and another 375,000 residents being told to boil water before using it.
Torrential rains in the Carolinas are being aggravated by a weather system connected to Hurricane Joaquin in the Caribbean.
One weather station in Columbia recorded 17 inches (43cm) of rain on Sunday.
President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency in South Carolina, which allows for state and local authorities to receive federal funding for flooding help.
The 23-year-old signed from Atletico Madrid for a club record fee of £15m following Fernando's Llorente's move from Sevilla.
Borja said: "We can adapt and play with two strikers or just one, whatever the boss asks from us."
The record signing will not play in Swansea's season opener at Burnley.
Borja added on Llorente: "We don't know each other personally but I've been told he's a really good guy.
"I'm sure we'll both work together well and do whatever's best for the team."
Borja was born in Madrid and came through the academy at Atletico, but has spent the past five seasons on loan away from the Vicente Calderon.
"Of course there's a bit of frustration I didn't play much at Atletico," said Borja, who scored 18 goals last season in La Liga for Eibar.
"I grew up there, went through the ranks and wish I'd had more of an opportunity in the first team."
Despite competition from La Liga and Premier League sides for the Spaniard's signature, Borja says his decision to join Swansea was not difficult.
"Swansea showed the most interest, they seemed to want me more than anyone else," he said.
"It's a great club who have a lot of confidence in their players and I really want to make a good impression here."
Unlike 31-year-old Llorente, who was a part of his Spain's 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012-winning squads, Borja has yet to earn a senior call-up for his country.
But he hopes to emulate ex-Swans striker Michu, who went on to earn a cap for his country after a prolific season with Swansea.
"Michu did a great job at Swansea which eventually earned him a place in Spain's squad," said Borja.
"If only I could score as many goals as he did, helping the team in every possible way, for the good of Swansea, but also to put myself in the frame for national selection too."
Troops loyal to Russia have taken control of the region and the pro-Russian parliament has voted to join the Russian Federation, to be confirmed in a referendum.
Crimea is a centre of pro-Russian sentiment, which can spill into separatism. The region - a peninsula on Ukraine's Black Sea coast - has 2.3 million people, a majority of whom identify themselves as ethnic Russians and speak Russian.
The region voted heavily for Viktor Yanukovych in the 2010 presidential election, and many people there believe he is the victim of a coup - prompting separatists in Crimea's parliament to vote for joining the Russian Federation and a referendum on secession.
Crimea: Ukraine's next flashpoint?
Russia has been the dominant power in Crimea for most of the past 200 years, since it annexed the region in 1783. But it was transferred by Moscow to Ukraine - then part of the Soviet Union - in 1954. Some ethnic Russians see that as a historical wrong.
However, another significant minority, the Muslim Crimean Tatars, point out that they were once the majority in Crimea, and were deported in large numbers by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in 1944 for alleged collaboration with Nazi invaders in World War Two.
Ethnic Ukrainians made up 24% of the population in Crimea according to the 2001 census, compared with 58% Russians and 12% Tatars.
Tatars have been returning since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 - causing persistent tensions with Russians over land rights.
Crimea profile
It appears to be heading that way with a referendum due on 16 March.
The region remains legally part of Ukraine - a status that Russia backed when pledging to uphold the territorial integrity of Ukraine in a memorandum signed in 1994, also signed by the US, UK and France.
Crimea is an autonomous republic within Ukraine, electing its own parliament, with a prime minister appointed with approval from Kiev. But now Crimean MPs have appointed a pro-Moscow leader, Sergei Aksyonov, who wants Crimea to unite with Russia, and has called the referendum.
Voters will be asked two questions?
What does the ballot paper say?
Are you in favour of re-uniting Crimea with Russia as a constituent part of the Russian Federation?
Are you in favour of restoring the Constitution of the (autonomous) Republic of Crimea of 1992 and retaining the status of Crimea as part of Ukraine?
Under Ukraine's constitution, "issues of altering the territory of Ukraine are resolved exclusively by an All-Ukrainian referendum". Equally, Crimea is entitled to call what are termed local referendums.
There seems little doubt of a Yes vote. Kiev has dismissed the referendum as illegal, but is hardly in a position to stop it going forward. And the West says it will not recognise the result.
Failing the legal test
Thousands of pro-Russian troops are in control of Crimea. Moscow denies they are Russian soldiers, calling them Crimean "self-defence" forces - though correspondents say they are too well-trained and equipped to be an irregular militia.
President Vladimir Putin has defended Crimea's decision to stage the referendum as "based on international law".
Russia has a major naval base in Sevastopol, where its Black Sea fleet is based. Under the terms of the lease, any movement of Russian troops outside the base must be authorised by the Ukrainian government.
There have been reports of Russian envoys distributing Russian passports in the peninsula. Russia's defence laws allow military action overseas to "protect Russian citizens".
Mr Putin has obtained parliamentary approval for troop deployments not just in Crimea, but Ukraine as a whole. Moscow, which regards the new authorities in Kiev as fascists, could send troops to "protect" ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine. That would enrage nationalists in western Ukraine, who hold positions in the new government.
Western powers have strongly condemned the Crimea takeover. Nato is unlikely to react militarily, but has sent extra fighter planes to Poland and Lithuania and is conducting exercises.
The US and EU are considering sanctions, but President Putin may believe that they will not last - as was the case after the Georgian war of 2008. Then, Georgian forces were routed by the Russian military when trying to retake the Georgian breakaway territory of South Ossetia. Russian forces are still in control, and Moscow has recognised both South Ossetia and a second Georgian region, Abkhazia, as independent.
Comparing Crimea and South Ossetia (Eurasianet)
Crimea has been fought over - and changed hands - many times in its history.
The occasion many will have heard of is the Crimean War of 1853-1856, known in Britain for the Siege of Sevastopol, the Charge of the Light Brigade, and the nursing contributions made by Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole.
The war was a result of rival imperial ambitions, when Britain and France, suspicious of Russian ambitions in the Balkans as the Ottoman Empire declined, sent troops to Crimea to peg them back. Russia lost.

Mr Biden sent the letter to BuzzFeed, praising the young woman for sharing her account with the public.
The unnamed victim's impact statement was read by millions after it was published by BuzzFeed last week.
In a response to her message, Mr Biden wrote that he was "filled with furious anger" over what happened to her.
"You were failed by a culture on our college campuses where one in five women is sexually assaulted - year after year after year," Biden wrote in the letter, entitled, An Open Letter to a Courageous Young Woman.
"The millions who have been touched by your story will never forget you".
The victim, now 23, read her statement aloud to her assailant, 20-year-old former Stanford University student Brock Turner, after he was convicted of sexually assaulting her while she was unconscious.
Mr Turner, a former swimmer at Stanford, was found guilty in March of three felony charges.
Prosecutors said that in January 2015, two witnesses tackled Mr Turner to the ground after seeing him sexually assault a woman, who was lying unconscious.
But a judge expressed concern about the impact prison would have on Mr Turner, sentencing him to six months in county jail. He had faced up to 14 years in prison.
Mr Turner is also required to register as a convicted sex offender for the rest of his life.
Mr Turner's father issued a statement to the court before the sentencing, saying his son was paying a steep price for only "20 minutes of action" and did not deserve a long sentence as he had no prior criminal history.
Mr Turner's sentence and his father's letter sparked public outrage on social media, prompting calls for the judge to resign.
Nearly a million people have also signed a petition to recall the sentencing judge, Aaron Persky, for what they described as a "lenient sentence."
The cast of the TV show Girls have also made a video backing the woman and other victims of sexual assault.
Mr Biden, who is involved in the White House campaign against campus sexual assault, is the latest public figure to speak out on the case.
"It must have been wrenching - to relive what he did to you all over again. But you did it anyway, in the hope that your strength might prevent this crime from happening to someone else", Mr Biden added. "Your bravery is breathtaking."

Former Aston Villa manager Little, 62, returned to the director of football role at the Jersey Football Association after leading the team to victory over Guernsey in May's Muratti Vase.
Cassidy took charge for a friendly against Clyde after Little left.
He was also Jersey's assistant manager when the island side represented England at the Uefa Regions' Cup.
Cassidy, whose first matches as manager will be on a two-match trip to France, has kept on the same coaching staff but will appoint a new assistant manager soon.
He told BBC Radio Jersey: "I'm really proud. I'm looking forward to getting the squad together for France and getting the two matches under our belts and then it's about planning for the Island Games which I've wanted to be involved in after we won gold in 2009.
"I want to try to emulate that and get that feel good factor into Jersey football and continue the great work we've done this year already."
As well as the senior team, Cassidy will also take charge of the Jersey Under-21 side.
It was time for UK Muslims "to step up to the plate" after the attack in London that claimed the lives of four people, he said.
Prime Minister Theresa May said earlier it was wrong to call the attack Islamic, it was "Islamist terrorism - it is a perversion of a great faith".
The Greens' Jonathan Bartley called Mr Nuttall's comments "abhorrent".
Describing the atrocity as "an appalling act of terrorism", Mr Nuttall said it was no coincidence it had taken place a year after suicide bomb attacks on the Brussels airport and underground system, which killed 32 people.
He said the attack had been a matter of "when not if".
"As long as we have this cancer within our society of radical Islam it will always happen - it will happen again - it needs to be sorted out," Mr Nuttall said.
"It's not that easy, but we need to ensure the Muslim community itself, who in many cases will know who these people are living among them, they need to stand up to the plate and they need to report these people to the police as soon as possible."
Mr Nuttall called for cuts to police numbers to be reversed as "we're living in a dangerous world".
"It wasn't as if the guy had a machine gun or anything like that - it was pretty basic, and I think maybe security does need to be improved," he said.
But Omer El-Hamdoon, deputy secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, called for an end to what he described as the cycle of blaming Muslims every time there was a terrorist attack, saying the situation "should not be allowed to scare us, to disrupt us or divide us".
"At the end of the day, Muslims are just as much victims of terrorism as anybody else," he said.
"As Muslims, we're part of British society, and we do condemn this attack and we make sure we do say that very clearly."
Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley said: "Every time you think UKIP can't sink any lower, they do.
"It is abhorrent that Paul Nuttall is trying to capitalise on this terrible tragedy to create division between communities.
"Just a brief look around him would have revealed to Nuttall a resilient multicultural society coming together to reject violence."
Then again, maybe they wouldn't have needed to. Words seemed superfluous when the images were so stark.
On one side, the joy and undiluted relief of the Wallabies who got out of jail in the end with a mixture of their own never-say-die, some wretched refereeing and a cataclysmic Scottish line-out.
Down the other end, sporting horror. The Scots stood rooted to the spot at the death, in shock and disbelief at how close - how outrageously and painfully close - they had come to pulling off a seismic victory.
We'll get to the anger that followed. We'll deal with Craig Joubert, the referee, but before we go there let's go back to a Scottish line-out with two minutes left to play.
Scotland had the lead, 34-32. They had just inflicted further damage on an Australian scrum that had gone from wrecking ball against England to something more akin to a pop-gun against the Scots. They had the ball in the hands of their replacement hooker, Fraser Brown, and they had control of their destiny.
The rain was falling and the darkness had closed in. In the mind's eye we could remember this kind of scene from before, at Murrayfield, when grim conditions accompanied some famous Scotland victories.
The weather, the floodlights, the aesthetic seemed perfect. It was just this line-out. This one, decisive, maybe historic line-out.
It had gone wrong 15 minutes earlier and it had cost Scotland a converted try. This time it had to be the percentage call; safe ball thrown to the front or middle, gathered and protected like a new-born baby while the clock ticked down all the while. Only it wasn't.
The ball was called long and the ball was lost. Australia had hope again - and a chain of events was set off that ended with those images of devastation in the aftermath.
What happened next will be the source of bitterness and rancour until the end of time. Craig Joubert is now, to Scots, the rugby equivalent of Butcher Cumberland.
It wasn't just the fact that he got his call hopelessly, and head-wreckingly, wrong in giving Australia the match-winning penalty. It should have been a scrum, not a chance for Bernard Foley to drive a dagger into the heart of the Scots.
It wasn't just the fact, either, that before the fateful line-out that led to the fateful penalty Joubert had missed a late tackle on Stuart Hogg and then, inexplicably, declined to go and check it on the big screen. Why would he not check it? It's the dying seconds of a World Cup quarter-final. You check it.
Joubert was a catastrophe for many reasons. A sin-binning for Sean Maitland early in the second half was another ludicrously harsh call. Australia would have had their own gripes, no question. They, too, had plenty of cause for protest, but winners don't protest. Winners advance and say nothing.
The South African's piece-de-resistance came right at the end, though. Not the Hogg incident or the penalty that should have been a scrum, but his sprinting from the field on the full-time whistle, like a scalded cat, without having the respect to stand and shake hands with two monstrously brave sets of players and, yes, take the heat of the crowd into the bargain.
Joubert ran away. On a day that contained so many heroic performances, his last act was to turn on his heels and disappear.
This was a day of days, but also a day that will haunt Scotland. It was a reprise of what happened to Ireland in the quarter-final of the 1991 World Cup against the same opposition. Like Scotland, the Irish only had to wind the clock down to win a sensational victory. Like Scotland, they couldn't do it.
One of the Irish players that day, their prop Des Fitzgerald, said recently that he still has nightmares about it, still wakes up in a cold sweat at the memory of it all. Twenty-four years later and haunted. That's the fate that awaits Scotland.
We could be here all day talking about what they got right and how far removed this performance was from much of the garbage Scotland has produced in the last 16 years. They had huge men in so many parts of the field and there is light ahead. The sun will come up tomorrow even if Greig Laidlaw's players have the curtains drawn and don't want to see it.
They're heartbroken, but they're pounding forward as a team. They're young and have much to learn about the street-smarts of life at this level, but there's enough progress to get you excited.
Alas, not enough to get them further in this World Cup.
On the day, they overcame an early hammer blow from Adam Ashley-Cooper and powered their way into the game. They had a magnificent edge, a power that Australia found hard to quell.
And, at last, they had possession. Lots of it. They drove hard and direct at the Wallabies and Peter Horne went over at the side of a ruck. Then, Foley dropped a ball and Scotland nailed a scrum and Laidlaw's dead-eye put his team 13-5 ahead after the first quarter.
Some of us started to lose faith after that. Not the players, but many others. Australia wing Drew Mitchell scored, then Michael Hooper got on the end of a driven line-out maul and yet again the Scottish defence was split open. The fatalists sat back in their chairs and waited for the pummelling that never came.
Scotland still had the lead at the break, but it went when they messed up a restart - that old chestnut - and Maitland saw yellow for a deliberate knock-on that was not deliberate.
The Gods seemed to be speaking and they didn't appear to be talking Scotland's language. The Wallabies had three tries and a six-point lead. Logic told you that they would motor on from there. They didn't. They weren't allowed.
What was thrilling was the psychology of Vern Cotter's team. They were like the creature in the swamp in those B-list horror movies. Just when you think it's dead the hand comes up out of the water and the nightmare begins anew.
That's how it was for the Wallabies. They couldn't shake Scotland free. When Foley was charged down by Finn Russell, who put Tommy Seymour over in the corner, Twickenham rocked to the tune of a one-point game.
It was now a full-blown classic, a game that will never be forgotten. Hogg made a try-saving tackle on Ashley-Cooper and lifted the siege. Australia came again. Scotland's line-out malfunctioned and they were made to pay for it. Tevita Kuridrani crashed over, Foley added the extras and the gap was six points once more.
Scotland's Swamp Thing stirred again. A penalty from Laidlaw, an intercept try from Mark Bennett, a stadium that was electrified, a world game that was about to be rocked to its very core.
And then those closing minutes. The hit on Hogg ignored. The hellish line-out. The penalty that should never have been. The sweep of Foley's boot forty-three seconds from the end of the 80 minutes that settled it once and for all.
Joubert exited, but he was the only one. The rest of us stood and marvelled at two teams who emptied themselves on the battlefield. Two teams but only one winner. Australia are looking forward to a semi-final against Argentina. And Scotland? They'll be looking back for an awfully long time.
Khan on Thursday said that "we perform these rituals without knowing the meaning behind them".
Clerics advised the Muslim actor to "concentrate on his film career" and refrain from "making random statements about our religion".
The actor is known for his roles in The Life of Pi and Slumdog Millionaire.
"The meaning of qurbani (religious practice of sacrificing animals) is to sacrifice something which is close to you instead of any goat or sheep which you just buy to sacrifice," Khan told the Deccan Herald.
Many Muslims over the world sacrifice animals to mark Eid al-Adha, one of the two most important Islamic festivals.
The actor also commented on fasting observed by Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan.
"Rather than fasting during Ramadan, people should self-introspect. Animals are being slaughtered in the name of qurbaani during Muharram [a Shia religious event]. We, Muslims, have made a mockery of Muharram. It is meant for mourning and what we do? Take out processions," he said.
Wahid Khatri of the Jamaat-e-Ulema-e-Hind, one of India's leading Islamic organisations, told the India Today website that the actor had made such statements "for the publicity of his upcoming movie".
Sher Qazi Khalid Usmani, another cleric, said the the actor "should keep his mouth shut as he has no knowledge about the religion".

The Weald of Kent girls' grammar school wants to open an annexe in Sevenoaks.
In a series of letters to Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, the council said a £34m deal had been struck with contractors for a grammar annex and a free school.
However, if the schools cannot be built at the same time, the cost would rise.
The authority told the government it had developed the former Wildernesse School site in Sevenoaks for Trinity Free School and the grammar annex, subject to approval.
But it said the cost of building just one school would be disproportionately higher due to the loss of "economies of scale".
Letters from council leader Paul Carter, councillor Roger Gough and education director Patrick Leeson to the Department for Education (DfE) were released under the Freedom of Information Act following a request by BBC South East Today.
The council said it wanted assurances that any additional costs would be met by the government and not the authority.
In the most recent letter, Mr Carter congratulated Ms Morgan on her reappointment but said there was some "unfinished business in Kent" and an "early decision would be most welcome".
Sarah Shilling, of the Sevenoaks Grammar School Campaign, urged the education secretary to "get on with it and sign it off".
She said: "You can get a free school up and running in a year that caters to a religious minority group, which is what we've got in Sevenoaks, and for a school that selects on, say, being good at maths it's taken three years so far.
"She's got no excuse."
The law forbids the opening of new grammar schools, but changes made by the coalition government in 2012 allow enlargement of existing schools.
The DfE said it was continuing to look into the issue.
The Irish province edged out Connacht 10-3 in their Boxing Day Pro12 game.

Prior to the last-gasp win at the Sportsground, Ulster had beaten Edinburgh in Belfast and banked back-to-back Champions Cup victories over Toulouse to boost their European hopes.
"We have won away against two teams who hadn't been beaten at home this season and we will see what that means in terms of momentum when we face Munster at Kingspan on Saturday.
"This a fairly crucial part of the year and things can change very quickly, so we won't be taking anything for granted."
The former Ireland assistant coach was fulsome in his praise of Ulster's defence in Galway, but added that the squad still have "a few things to work on".
"To defend the way we did against Connacht with the amount of ball they had, particularly in the first half, was very pleasing and shows the heart and soul of this team.
"We went off plan a couple of times but managed to get back on track. We displayed a deep resolve and a willingness to fight hard for each other.
"Our breakdown work wasn't maybe as good as it could have been and we got isolated a few times but we will work on that."
Ulster should have captain Rory Best back for the visit of Munster, having been rested for the Connacht game.
Fellow Ireland international Chris Henry should also return after injury.
Ministers had argued fish farm staff, and their families, may receive threats if the information was released.
Now the Scottish Information Commissioner has said the government failed to comply with environmental information regulations.
Environmentalists described it as a "landmark victory".
Salmon producers are issued with licences which allow seals to be shot to protect fish stocks.
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.
The Scottish Government had said that could put public safety at risk.
But the Information Commissioner did not accept that disclosing the information would represent a substantial threat to public safety.
Don Staniford of the Global Alliance Against Industrial Aquaculture said: "This is a landmark victory.
"Today's decisions are a shot in the arm for freedom of information and a shot across the bows of the bloody Scottish salmon farming industry.
"Now the public will be able to boycott salmon from lethal salmon farms.
"It is shameful that the Scottish salmon farming industry continues to kill seals and shocking that supermarkets still source seal-unfriendly farmed salmon."
The chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation, Scott Landsburgh, said the number of seals shot by salmon farmers had declined dramatically in recent years.
He added: "We have championed deterrence techniques that are designed to keep seals away from our fish, and shooting is always a last resort."
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "The Scottish Government has received Decisions 102/2015 and 103/2015 from the Scottish Information Commissioner, which relate to FOI requests by Global Alliance Against Industrial Aquaculture for information about numbers of seals shot and related correspondence and seal killing return forms for salmon farms for 2013 and 2014.
"We are currently considering their terms."
Animal rights campaigners have argued consumers ought to know what food producers are doing.
John Robins, from Save our Seals, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "It's an environmental issue, its an animal welfare - an animal rights issue. It's also a consumer issue, the consumer has the right to know."
Mr Robins added: "All we want to do is compare the information we have with the information that the government gets.
"Then we can tell the public where the seals are being shot, which companies are doing the shooting and the public can decide whether or not they want to pay for bullets to shoot seals."
Thomas Hodgson, 42, from Walsall, West Midlands, was a "passionate man who lived his life enjoying outdoor pursuits", his family said.
The father of two went missing while visiting Brixham on 11 September.
His body was found by an angler on Saturday morning at Breakwater beach in Brixham.
His family said: "Tom had just been accepted as a paramedic in Devon and he was looking forward to moving closer to the coast where he planned to continue his interests in diving and sailing.
"Tom was the father of two children who will always remember him as a dad who encouraged them to be adventurous and to work hard to make a success of their lives." | Private landlords would not be able to increase annual rents by more than inflation for three years under Labour plans to give tenants more security.

Italian Nibali, the 2013 champion, moved up from fourth to second overall, only 44 seconds behind Colombian Chaves, who finished third on Friday.
Overnight leader Steven Kruijswijk finished almost five minutes later after surviving a huge crash.
The Lotto rider, who dropped to third overall, hit a snowbank on a descent from the highest point of the race.
The Dutchman, who drifted wide on a left-hand bend and went over his handlebars, appeared to be not badly hurt but needed a change of bike and was unable to make up the time he lost on the ride to the summit finish at Risoul.
Kruijswijk was not the only rider to crash on the treacherous descent of the Colle dell'Agnello, which peaks at 2,744m. Katusha's Ilnur Zakarin suffered a suspected broken collarbone after he came off and landed near a stream.
Nibali rode clear on the final ascent and broke down in tears after beating Team Sky's Mikel Nieve by 51 seconds, with Chaves a couple of seconds further adrift.
Kruijswijk is now 65 seconds behind Chaves to leave the race intriguingly poised and Saturday's 134km mountainous stage, which features three category one climbs and a summit finish, will decide the overall winner.

The incident happened at a water treatment plant in the north-western state of Sinaloa. An investigation has been launched.
The man is facing criminal charges and up to nine years in jail, as crocodiles are a protected species in Mexico.
Local media say the crocodile posed a threat to the local population.
The footage shows the man shooting at the crocodile several times after it was pulled to the side of the pond in a fishing net.
A group of men in civil defence shirts are seen cheering.
They warn the police officer that the animal is still alive and ask him to shoot it in the head.
A second man in uniform then joins him and both men finish the crocodile off with pistols.
The mayor of the city of Ahome, where the water treatment plant is located, said there was risk to the population.

The champions sit five points ahead of the Blues with five games left.
"It is going to be a tough ask against a good Linfield team but we have the tools here to win," said Coates.
Blues midfielder Aaron Burns, scorer of an Irish Cup hat-trick against Lurgan Celtic last weekend, misses the big game because of a two-match suspension.
Linfield have lost just one of their last 15 league games and David Healy's team are making a determined push for the Gibson Cup.
However, Crusaders have an impressive record against the Blues, suffering only three defeats in the last 16 Premiership meetings.
"To retain the league title for the first time in out history would be massive," added Coates.
"Cliftonville managed to do it a couple of years ago, but there have been some great teams like Glentoran who have not been able to do it.
"We have been at the top of the table since way back in October and the pressure has been on us since then, but we are enjoying it because it is where you want to be in football.
"We maybe haven't played with the same fluency this season but when the big games have come around we have risen to the occasion. Sometimes as a team I think we perform better in those games.
"Linfield look at bit more hungry than in previous seasons. They have had a great run but we are looking to put an end to that."

Hossam Bahgat's release was confirmed by Gasser Abdel-Razek, the director of a rights groups founded by Mr Bahgat.
"He called me and said he's been released from the military intelligence building," Mr Abdel-Razek said.
Mr Bahgat, 37, was arrested on Sunday, reportedly accused of publishing false information.
He was questioned in connection with an article about the trial of army officers convicted of plotting a coup.
Amnesty International called the arrest "yet another nail in the coffin" of freedom of expression in Egypt.
Mr Bahgat, who founded the human rights group Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, has published a series of investigative reports in Mada Masr, an independent Egyptian newspaper and website.

Miss Lawrence disappeared on her way to work in York in March 2009.
Her father, Peter Lawrence, who has been campaigning for changes to the powers available to relatives, called current legislation "mind-boggling".
MPs unanimously backed "Claudia's Law" in the Commons, which will go to a second reading next month.
More on this story and others from York and North Yorkshire
Kevin Hollinrake, Conservative MP for Thirsk and Malton, proposed the bill. It is likely to need government support to be instated.
Last year, the Ministry of Justice said it was "crucial we get the legislation right on such a sensitive issue".
Miss Lawrence, from the Heworth area of York, was 35 when she disappeared on her way to work at the University of York.
Four men, in their 50s, were arrested in 2015 in connection with her disappearance but were released from bail.
Under current law in England and Wales, the disappearance of a person does not affect the ownership or control of their property and affairs.
Mr Lawrence said: "After Claudia disappeared I couldn't believe there wasn't any law in place in this country to enable those left behind to look after financial affairs.
"It was just mind-boggling at a time when you're emotionally at your lowest ebb."
Mr Hollinrake told the Commons a guardian should be appointed after an adult was missing for more than 90 days.
They would act on behalf of the missing person for up to four years, which could be renewed by a court application, and they would be held to account by the Office of the Public Guardian.
Mr Hollinrake said the proposed law would ease families' suffering.
"The guardian will take control of the financial affairs of the missing person, will have authority to act on their behalf and will be able to use the property of the missing person to help those left behind," he said.
The discovery was made in Gissing, as reported in the Diss Express,
A spokeswoman for Norfolk Police said: "Officers attended an address in Common Road and discovered three cannabis plants in a greenhouse.
"A man in his 50s was questioned before being released on bail. The man admitted cultivating the plants and has been given a formal police caution."
A tweet from South Norfolk Police described the find using the hashtags "#FunnyTomatoes" and "#TightSqueeze".
Former Chelsea boss Di Matteo, 44, took over in October 2014 and steered the Bundesliga side from 11th to third.
But defeat by strugglers Hamburg on Saturday left Schalke with two wins from 10 games to miss out on a Champions League place.
Schalke ended the season sixth meaning they will compete in next season's Europa League.
The Italian led Chelsea to the 2012 Champions League title but was replaced by Spaniard Rafael Benitez after eight months.
Di Matteo said he resigned because of a difference of opinion over plans for next season following a meeting with the club's director of sport Horst Heldt.
"I offered a plan for a possible successful future and what the conditions for that would need to be," said Di Matteo, who had two years left in his contract.
"It became clear that the club had a different emphasis. This is why I decided to resign from my position as head coach."

Mr Davies, founder of clothing retailer Next and behind the George at Asda label, says more needs to be done to promote them to director level.
Women "have more vision than men" and their promotion would help boost firms, he told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours.
Campaigners Women in Retail welcomed his call, saying retail was often still a "boys' club".
Research published earlier this year, by the group, found that while 60 per cent of those employed in the retail industry are women and 85 per cent of all retail purchases are made or influenced by women, only 20 per cent of executive teams and 10 per cent of executive boards are female.
"If there was better representation of them in executive teams maybe the high street wouldn't be struggling as much as it is," Mr Davies, 75 and born in Crosby, Merseyside, said.
Also renowned for creating the successful Per Una fashion brand in 2001 and helping to turn round Marks and Spencer's fortunes, he said he has always "surrounded himself with women" at work.
Within three years Per Una was creating an annual turnover in excess of £230 million, which at the time was over 10% of the brand's women's wear sales.
The board on Mr Davies's FG4 clothing label is made up of 51 women and 19 men, a 67%-33% split.
"[Women] work quicker and harder than men," he said. "The retail industry needs people who visit stores and understand customers and that's why I think the gender mix on executive boards should be at least equal."
Fiona Davis, Women in Retail's director, said their research involved interviews with employees at 44 UK-based retailers to assess why there are so few women in key positions.
The results suggested retail was often perceived as a "boys' club", she said, that women lacked confidence when applying for top jobs and that there was a lack of provision for flexible working.
"Retailers are missing an opportunity to maximise their talent pool. They need to walk in the shoes of their customers and they're not doing that without the right gender balance in their board rooms," Ms Davissaid.
Since 2011, Mr Davies has been opening outlets in the United Arab Emirates and in Saudi Arabia. With FG4, he has opened 100 stores - a further 26 will open in February.
"I always say about men, when it comes to fashion they can be as trendy as hell until they're 20 years old but as soon as they're 30 they dress like their dads - that's why retail is struggling," he added.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was top from team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo.
Hamilton was a massive 1.120 seconds slower than Vettel and complaining about the handling of the Mercedes.
It is a stunning turnaround after Mercedes have dominated pretty much the entire season so far.
And the team insisted that they were not disguising their form.

"There is no hiding the potential here," Mercedes tweeted. "The pace of our rivals is genuine - and very quick."
Hamilton's team-mate Nico Rosberg was sixth fastest ahead of a stunning performance by McLaren's Fernando Alonso in seventh, just 0.014secs behind the German.
Alonso's team-mate Jenson Button was 13th fastest, nearly half a second adrift of the Spaniard.
Mercedes' lack of pace was one of the biggest surprises of the season - it is only two weeks since Hamilton romped to victory in Italy, with a clear pace advantage of about a second a lap over everyone else in the race.
The team have been defeated only twice all year, and both times in specific circumstances.
In Malaysia, Ferrari had better tyre wear and Vettel used it to do one fewer stop than Hamilton and beat him on strategy.

In Hungary, mistakes from Hamilton opened the door to Vettel and he took advantage.
With the caveat that this is only practice, the difference so far is that Mercedes seem simply to lack pace - although they may not have been running their cars at maximum performance.
"It will be a shock for Mercedes," said former Cosworth engine boss Mark Gallagher, acting as an analyst for BBC F1 this weekend.
The team seem to be struggling to get the best out of the tyres at Marina Bay - the single key aspect of being quick around the bumpy, twisty and demanding track.
Vettel was in stunning form - heading Raikkonen by 0.45secs, as the Finn was only 0.045secs ahead of the highly impressive Kvyat.
This is only the Russian's second race in Singapore and he admitted on Thursday that he had found the first one last year very difficult, the intensity of the challenge in the heat and humidity, around a long lap and a race of nearly two hours testing all the drivers.
But Kvyat has looked very good indeed all weekend, brushing the walls with verve and so far shading his highly rated team-mate Ricciardo.
There was another starring performance from Alonso, delivering on the promise McLaren gave that this would be their strongest race for some time.
The Spanish two-time champion is always strong at Singapore and to be only 1.5secs off the pace in a car that is still lacking significant power from its Honda engine - even if that deficit is less of a handicap in Singapore - was an outstanding effort.
Button, complaining of problems with the behaviour of his car, was a long way back.
But the midfield battle looks as tight as expected, with five drivers from the Toro Rosso, Williams, Sauber and Force India teams in the half-second gap between the McLarens.
Getting a clean lap will be key to deciding grid positions when qualifying begins under the lights of F1's only night race at 14:00 BST.

Pedestrian Celia Mary Service, 72, from Colwyn Bay, died when a car driven by a 90-year-old man hit a shop in Rhos on Sea, Conwy, in April 2012.
Her husband, David Service, 75, complained about how the north Wales force's investigation was conducted.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has told North Wales Police to investigate his complaint.
The IPCC says North Wales Police is now obliged to carry out that investigation.
Mrs Service, a mother of two, died when a Jaguar car mounted a pavement and hit a shop.
Her daughter Helen, was also seriously injured.
An inquest later heard the vehicle had been travelling at about 27mph and Mrs Service died at the scene.
The driver, Geoffrey Read, was interviewed but he had no memory of the events.
Hospital tests showed he had an atrial flutter - or rapid heartbeats and poor cardiac function - which may have caused him to lose consciousness, although there was no record of him having had this before.
A verdict of accidental death was recorded and the inquest heard there would not be a prosecution.
Mr Service says that after his wife's death he became worried about how the investigation was conducted.
He had serious questions over some of the witness statements, and believes, among other things, there are discrepancies.
Following the IPCC's ruling, the force says it is duty-bound to examine or "scope" any new evidence or information to see if a case should be re-opened.
Emergency services were called to reports of an industrial accident at Buchanan House, in Port Dundas Road, at about 12:25 on Wednesday.
The Scottish Ambulance Service said one man was confirmed dead at the scene. Another is being treated for a head injury at the nearby Royal Infirmary.
Staff have been evacuated from Buchanan House as a precaution.
The building, which houses offices for Network Rail and Transport Scotland, has been undergoing refurbishment work.
Police, fire and ambulance personnel are still working at the scene.
Many Africans travelled to India as slaves and traders, but eventually settled down here to play an important role in India's history of kingdoms, conquests and wars.
Some of them, like Malik Ambar in Ahmadnagar (in western India), went on to become important rulers and military strategists. Ambar was known for taking on the powerful Mughal rulers of northern India.
An exhibition, organised by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture of The New York Public Library, in Delhi recently showcased such "forgotten" stories of Africa's role in India's history.
Abyssinians, also known as Habshis in India, mostly came from the Horn of Africa to the subcontinent. Dr Sylviane A Diouf of the Schomburg Center says Africans were successful in India because of their military prowess and administrative skills.
"African men were employed in very specialised jobs, as soldiers, palace guards, or bodyguards; they were able to rise through the ranks becoming generals, admirals, and administrators," she says.
Kenneth Robbins, co-curator of the exhibition, says it is very important for Indians to know that Africans were an integral part of several Indian sultanates and some of them even started their own dynasties.
"Early evidence suggests that Africans came to India as early as the 4th Century. But they really flourished as traders, artists, rulers, architects and reformers between the 14th Century and 17th Century," he says.
This 17th-Century cloth painting depicts a procession of Deccani sultan Abdullah Qutb Shah. African guards are seen here as part of the sultan's army.
Apart from the Deccan sultanates in southern India, Africans also rose to prominence on the western coast of India. Some of them brought their traditional music and Sufi Islam with them.
Mr Robbins says Deccan sultans relied on African soldiers because Mughal rulers of northern India did not allow them to recruit men from Afghanistan and other central Asian countries.
This 1887 painting from Kutch portrays the Sidi Damal, a religious, ecstatic dance form of the Muslim Sidis who were brought to India from East Africa.
Dr Diouf says Indian rulers trusted Africans and their skills. "It was true, especially in areas where hereditary authority was weak and there was ongoing instability due to struggles between factions like in the Deccan," she says.
"Africans sometimes did seize power for their group like they did in Bengal - where they were known as the Abyssinian Party - in the 1480s; or in Janjira and Sachin (on the western coast of India) where they established African dynasties. They also took power on an individual basis, as Sidi Masud did in Adoni (in southern India) or Malik Ambar in Ahmadnagar (in western India)," she adds.
The funerary complex shown in the photograph above was also designed by eunuch Malik Sandal after 1597 in Bijapur (in present-day southern Karnataka state).
This painting from 1590 shows an Indian prince eating in the land of Ethiopians (Habshi) or East Africans (Zangis).
Africans also brought their music to India. This artwork dated 1640-1660 shows a player of the African lyre.
In this 1904 photo taken in Hyderabad in the Deccan region, Africans guards are seen escorting a royal procession.
The most celebrated of the powerful Ethiopian leaders in India was Malik Ambar (1548-1626). His mausoleum still exists in Khuldabad, near Aurangabad district in western India.
This painting shows Nawab Sidi Haidar Khan of Sachin. The African-ruled state of Sachin was established in 1791 in Gujarat. It had its own cavalry and a state band that included Africans, its own coats of arms, currency, and stamped paper. In 1948, when the princely states were incorporated into independent India and ceased to exist, Sachin had a population of 26,000 - 85% Hindu and 13% Muslim - explains Dr Diouf.
The main African figures of the past have not been forgotten but their ethnicity has been erased, consciously or not, she adds.
"The people who have heard of Malik Ambar, for example, generally do not know he was Ethiopian. Does it mean that these men's origin was so irrelevant that it was useless to mention it, or is this historical erasure the product of a conscious denial of the African contribution?" she asks.
Players from 34 nations will compete in Christchurch from 29 November until 11 December.
The Welsh squad has players qualified to compete across all disciplines, singles, pairs, triples and fours.
Commonwealth Games medallists Robert Weale, Anwen Butten, Marc Wyatt and Jonathan Tomlinson are among those who will make the trip.
"This is another positive step for bowls in Wales," said women's senior team manager, Hazel Wilson.
"We'll be competing against the best in the world and it's a huge challenge for our bowlers, but one we've been working hard to prepare for.
"We've got a good blend in our squads so we're all looking forward to getting started now."
Wales squad: Emma Woodcock, Kathy Pearce, Jess Sims, Laura Thomas, Anwen Butten, Steve Harris, Marc Wyatt, Ross Owen, Jonathon Tomlinson, Robert Weale.
Gytis Griskevicius is alleged to have attacked Marina Erte, 33, at her flat just hours after celebrating his birthday at a barbecue with friends.
Lincoln Crown Court was told the attack was motivated by jealousy as Ms Erte was in a relationship with another man.
Griskevicius, 32, of St Ann's Lane, Boston, denies murder.
The court heard Griskevicius was so angry after the couple separated in 2015 that he wanted her out of the way.
Anita Zeleznova, a friend of Ms Erte, told the jury the accused loved his wife very much and could not stand to see her with another man.
"He said he was willing to pay someone to get rid of her," she said.
"As far as I understood he meant to murder her," she told the court.
Ms Zeleznova denied a defence suggestion that she was deliberately trying to make things bad for Griskevicius.
She told the jury: "I don't have any motive to lie."
The court also heard from another friend who claimed Ms Erte was concerned Griskevicius was stalking her after he found out where she lived.
The court previously heard the attack "was motivated by jealousy" after the defendant discovered Ms Erte was in a relationship with another man.
It is alleged Griskevicius drowned his estranged wife with a shower attachment before setting fire to her flat in Boston to destroy the evidence.
Ms Erte's naked and badly beaten body was found in the bath at her flat by firemen who had been called out by neighbours in May.
The trial continues.
The Emmys are a series of awards for television excellence, the equivalent of the Oscars in the film industry.
Alexander Bain will be awarded a Technology and Engineering Emmy on Friday 8 January at a ceremony in Las Vegas.
The award is for inventing "the concept of scanning for image transmission".
His invention is said to be one of the fundamental principles of television.
Bain was born at Watten in Caithness in 1810 and died in poverty in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, in 1877.
During his lifetime Bain was the first person to patent an electric clock.
He also installed the railway telegraph lines between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
But it was the invention of one of the earliest fax machines, patented in 1843, which has led him to be nominated for a National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Emmy award, alongside contemporary television giants such as Netflix and HBO.
His fax machine invention, which was 33 years before the patent was given for the telephone, contained the fundamentals of what would become television.
It was the first time an image had been scanned from one location to another.
His invention was so advanced that it would be another 80 years before the breakthroughs which led to modern television's development.
After the ceremony, the Emmy will be heading for a new home in Scotland
The award will be accepted by East Dunbartonshire Council because he was buried in the Auld Aisle cemetery in Kirkintilloch when he died.
Members of the Kirkintilloch and District Society of Antiquaries have been looking into the life of the much-overlooked Scottish inventor and are delighted he is being recognised.
Dr Ivan Ruddock, the group's president, said: "Alexander Bain invented many things including clocks, electric clocks and the telegraph.
"One of his inventions was the fax machine in the 1840s.
"It contains the fundamental invention underlying television - that is image scanning, image transmission and image reconstruction.
"He is the inventor of what became known as the raster scan in television.
"It contained the whole idea of pixels and everything that forms a television picture. Also I suppose image reconstruction and manipulation that is in digital photography as well."
One of Alexander Bain's electric clocks will be going on display in one of the new galleries opening in the summer of 2016 at the National Museum of Scotland.
Alison Taubman, the principal curator, communications, at the National Museums Scotland, said: "Without the principle of transmitting images by wire, by electricity, we wouldn't have got to the early pioneering days of television in the 1920s.
"Certainly his idea, the principle that you could transmit images using electrical pulses down a wire, was a revolutionary idea in his day."
"We can say he was the inventor of the fax machine; he called it himself a facsimile telegraph.
"He certainly was at the beginning of the transmission of images and now that's used in all sorts of ways to transmit images down the line."
Ms Taubman says the principle of scanning an image by electricity and transmitting that image from one location to the other was a combination of two of his key inventions.
She says: "The first one was the electric clock which he patented in 1841, that used a pendulum system and electro magnets that sent pulses of electricity along a wire and could then run clocks at a distance.
"It allowed the standardisation of time and synchronisation of different clocks along a railway network in his case.
"He also invented a new sort of telegraph instrument in 1843, which used chemically treated paper to register the marks in Morse code, to have a document with your message on it.
"Those two inventions combined - the chemical telegraph and the electric clock - operated his fax machines, which need a pendulum to scan across a document, that would then be sent as pulses of electricity to the receiving instrument, where the document would be printed out again using his chemically treated paper."
And so an inventor of the 19th century will be recognised by an industry very much operating in the 21st-century.
Brendan Cox will call for an end to the "rise of hatred" in the broadcast on 25 December.
He will also pay tribute to his wife and discuss the "awful year for our family" in the pre-recorded message.
Cox will also tell viewers that now is the "moment to reach out to somebody that might disagree with us".
Mrs Cox was shot and stabbed to death by Thomas Mair in her Batley and Spen constituency in June.
She was an outspoken critic of strategic policy in Syria and a humanitarian who campaigned for women's rights.
Mr Cox's message was recorded on the converted Dutch barge where he lived with his wife.
In the tribute, he will be heard saying: "Jo loved Christmas - the games, the traditions, the coming together of friends and family, and above all the excitement of our kids.
"This year we'll try to remember how lucky we were to have Jo in our lives for so long - and not how unlucky we were to have her taken from us."
Earlier this week, Mr Cox clashed with Nigel Farage on Twitter after the former Ukip leader said that the Berlin lorry attack would be "[Angela] Merkel's legacy".
Mr Cox responded by saying "blaming politicians for the actions of extremists" was a "slippery slope".
Channel 4's message is traditionally billed as an alternative to the Queen's Christmas Day address, which is broadcast on BBC One and ITV simultaneously.
In previous years it has been delivered by Sharon Osbourne, Jamie Oliver, Sacha Baron Cohen and Lisa and Marge Simpson.
NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden and the parents of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence have also delivered the message.

South African Kerrod joined the Reds in January 2016 after leaving Eastern Province Kings.
The 24-year-old has made 28 appearances for Jersey, and scored two tries in 12 Championship games this season.
"He is a promising prop and we're looking forward to trying to help him reach the top of his game at Warriors," director of rugby Gary Gold said.
The move echoes the scrapping of roaming charges in similar destinations by EE, Three and Vodafone.
It coincides with the incoming abolition of such fees by the European Union on 15 June.
O2 customers will be able to take their UK plan into some non-EU countries as well.
These include Iceland, Switzerland and Monaco.
When travelling in the Europe Zone outside the UK, O2 customers with the right plans will be able to make calls and send texts to any other country in the zone at no additional cost.
Receiving calls and texts - and using data plans - is also included.
The mobile operator added that customers would not need to take any action to enjoy the benefits of the change.
While the move would certainly benefit some customers, it did not go much beyond what the operator would have to do under the new EU rules, said Kester Mann, a telecoms analyst at CCS Insight.
Mr Mann added that UK operators might find it difficult to reintroduce roaming fees once the UK left the EU in two years' time.
"I think it would go down very, very badly with customers - it would be a very bold and perhaps foolhardy option," he told the BBC.
"It would be very difficult for them to do that just because the UK is such a competitive market and we've moved such a long way from roaming."
Of course, mobile operators had taken a "financial hit" from not being able to charge roaming fees as they had in the past, Mr Mann said.
Instead, they were increasingly trying to recoup that revenue through other means, he added.
For example, some had created higher end packages offering roaming at no extra cost in even more destinations abroad.
Norman Springford, who owns four Apex hotels in the capital, said he stumped up the cash after hearing it was about to be cut from the winter festival.
He told the BBC Scotland news website he has pledged to pay up to £25,000 of any losses it makes this year.
It comes as the Christmas and New Year celebrations kick off in the city.
The ice rink's operator made "significant" losses in 2010.
Edinburgh City Council said it was down to Mr Springford's pledge that the ice rink was able to be held this year in Princes Street Gardens.
Mr Springford said people came from all over the world to stay in Edinburgh's hotels for the city's winter festive celebrations.
He said: "I believe every hotelier in the city should contribute to the winter festivities because it is essential for our trade.
"When I contacted Edinburgh City Council about the ice rink they said there were only two or three days to make a decision, so I didn't have time to go round all the hoteliers.
"So I decided I was happy to be involved because of the council's cash constraints.
"The ice rink is an integral part of the city's winter festivities. I haven't done this for personal glory."
Tram works have now been suspended to make way for the winter festival.
The tram works, to fix crumbling tarmac around the lines, are due to resume on 9 January.
The full project is due for completion by summer 2014, at a cost of £776m.
Christmas celebrations begin later with Light Night, including street theatre, live music, a 14m-high Frost Fairy and a fireworks display.
The pyrotechnic display starts at 17:15 at The Mound and lasts until 18:00.
The lights on The Mound's Christmas tree, Ferris Wheel and street lights will also be switched on.
Then a pipe band will travel to St Andrew Square for a show starting at 18:15 which includes Britain's Got Talent star, Edward Reid, who turns nursery rhymes into pop songs.
During the winter festivals revellers can travel by horse and carriage along Princes Street as well on the Santa train, both of which run Thursday to Sundays.
Santa will also arrive on Saturday 3 December at 16:00 to pull a huge sleigh down Princes Street before telling stories in the National Galleries.
There will also be reindeer in Princes Street.
Steve Cardownie, Edinburgh City Council's festivals and events champion, said: "It was touch and go whether there would be an ice rink included in this year's programme - I'm pleased that we've managed to reach an agreement that will allow it to go ahead and we are grateful to Essential Edinburgh and, of course, to one very philanthropic individual, for their support."
Matthew Ingham, 37, has been charged with five counts of theft and Kim Ager, 34, has been charged with with receiving stolen goods.
The charges relate to the theft of laptops and other items in July.
Mr Ingham and Ms Ager, both from Keighley, will appear at Leeds Magistrates' Court next month.
Head coach Denis Betts has added Stefan Marsh, Danny Walker and Matt Whitley to the squad and a win could move them above Leigh to 11th.
French side Catalans have made one change with Thibaut Margalet replacing, Julian Bousquet, who serves a one-game suspension.

Chatbots - computer programs designed to simulate conversation with humans - are increasingly being seen as a key way to engage customers.
Kik, which has 275 million users, has signed up 16 partners including make-up store Sephora and The Weather Channel.
Microsoft opened a chatbot store last week and Facebook is expected to follow suit.
In Kik's store, users will be able to download bots for entertainment, customer service and shopping.
Developers will also be able to access the platform to build bots on behalf of brands.
Other businesses signed up include video app Vine, fashion store H&M and comedy website Funny or Die.
Mike Roberts, Kik's head of messenger services, told Adweek: "Messengers are the new browser and bots are the new websites."
Messaging apps such as Kik, WhatsApp and WeChat are rapidly becoming the preferred methods of communication for young people - and about 40% of Kik's user base is aged 18 to 24.
Retailers and brands are seeing the huge potential of messaging apps as distribution channels.
Chatbots allow brands and retailers to interact with customers but their creators say they can also benefit consumers, offering personalised recommendations, completing purchases and tracking orders.
They are not without risk though. Last week Microsoft was forced to remove its artificial intelligence chatbot Tay from Twitter after users taught it to deny the Holocaust and swear.
The software giant remains convinced that the future will be about people talking to chatbots and at its Build conference unveiled a set of tools to let anyone create one.
It demonstrated how the system could be used to order a pizza and make a hotel booking.
It is widely rumoured that Facebook will open a chatbot store on Messenger at its F8 conference next week.
The firm is already developing an all-purpose digital assistant for its messaging app, called M. The aim will be for M to book flights and complete other tasks using a combination of artificial intelligence and human input.
Its inquiry is focused on the possibility that some names could be fraudulent - 77,000 signatures have already been removed.
More than 3.2 million signatures are on the petition, but PM David Cameron has said there will be no second vote.
The UK voted by 52% to 48% to leave the EU in Thursday's referendum.
Helen Jones, who chairs the cross-party petitions committee, said in a statement posted on Twitter that it was taking the allegations "very seriously".
"People adding fraudulent signatures to this petition should know that they undermine the cause they pretend to support," she said.
The committee will consider the petition at its meeting next week and decide whether to schedule a debate on it, Ms Jones said.
"That doesn't mean that the committee will be deciding whether or not it agrees with the petition - just whether or not it should be debated.
"Any debate would allow a range of views to be expressed."
A number of people on Twitter have pointed out that some people appear to have signed the petition from outside the UK.
Only British citizens or UK residents are permitted to sign the petition, including Britons based abroad.
The House of Commons petitions committee said it will continue to monitor the petition for "suspicious activity".
The petition has more signatures than any other on the parliamentary website.
A House of Commons spokeswoman said the petition was created on 24 May. There were 22 signatures on it at the time the referendum result was announced.
The petition's website states it was set up by an individual called William Oliver Healey, and says: "We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the Remain or Leave vote is less than 60%, based [on] a turnout less than 75%, there should be another referendum."
Thursday saw a 72.2% turnout, significantly higher than the 66.1% turnout at last year's general election, but below the 75% mark suggested by Mr Healey as a threshold.
In a statement posted on Facebook, a campaigner for the English Democrats party identifying himself as Oliver Healey says he started the petition "when it was looking unlikely that 'leave' were going to win, with the intention of making it harder for 'remain' to further shackle us to the EU".
He says the petition has since been "hijacked by the remain campaign".
BBC political correspondent Iain Watson says the petition has attracted a lot of attention but has no chance of being enacted, because it is asking for retrospective legislation.
Our correspondent says some referendums do have thresholds but those clauses must be inserted in legislation before the vote so everyone is clear about the rules.
You cannot simply invent new hurdles if you are on the losing side, our correspondent says.
Mr Cameron said on Friday he would stand down as prime minister by October following the leave result.
The revamp features a flattened, reshaped logo and replaces the previous menu bar with a smaller range of links on the page's right-hand side.
The move comes in the same month that Yahoo's logo and Microsoft's Bing search tool have also been updated.
A Google spokeswoman said that similar changes would now be "slowly rolled out" across its products.
A blog post added that the firm intended to "streamline" users' experience of its services to prevent "distractions".
It is the first change to Google's logo since 2010. Not all users will be able to see the redesign yet.
"This is the season for consumer tech updates and whether you sell a product or it's free everyone wants to look fresh ahead of the Christmas shopping season," said Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst at the tech consultancy Forrester.
"What they are doing is actually pretty subtle and that's because these software companies depend on user loyalty - they don't want to do anything that would alienate their customers."
Another analyst suggested that cutting down the number of links would encourage people to use Google's social network, Google Plus.
To reveal other products - such as Google Drive storage, YouTube videos or the Android app Play Store - visitors to the firm's search page must now click on an icon made up of small squares.
"I do think that there is a move to try to make Google+ more central to everything its users do," said Carolina Milanesi from the tech advisors Gartner.
"It might be the case that it is not obvious to some people that they need to click on the box to reveal the firm's other services."
The child was struck by a red Honda Civic in Lower Bathville, near the junction with Station Road, Armadale, at about 15:50 on Friday.
She suffered a serious leg injury and was taken to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh.
Police Scotland are appealing for witnesses.
Insp Richard Latto said: "A child has suffered a serious injury as a result of this collision and I'm keen to hear from anyone who saw it.
"I would like to remind everyone of the potential road safety risks to children during the school holidays when they are out and about playing with friends.
"I would remind parents to ensure their children always use the Green Cross Code and encourage them to wear approved safety helmets when out on bikes."
"Obviously, being gay it wasn't considered a normal thing to do."
But Mr McKinniss' dream was realised a year ago when he and his partner Nick adopted their six-year-old son.
He said that following initial inquiries, the process took three years.
"After speaking to my partner we made the decision that we were probably in a time of our lives when we could actually take on children, plus the fact that the law had changed to say that we could," he said.
"We haven't faced any kind of criticism - we've been supported by our son's school, doctors, all members of the community.
"And no one's batted an eyelid to the fact that he's got two dads - they're all just very supportive."
For a long time, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people tended to be seen as a "last resort" when it came to placing children, Bristol City and North Somerset councils said.
But as figures of people putting themselves forward as adopters hit a 10-year low, the authorities are launching a campaign to encourage more LGBT people to foster and adopt.
The campaign is part of the nationwide LGBT Adoption and Fostering Week.
Clare Campion-Smith, Liberal Democrat councillor responsible for children and young people at Bristol City Council, said: "We are becoming a far more open and accepting society.
"It's been a long, hard struggle and we've still got a long way to go but I think it's very important that we are looking at people as people.
"It isn't a last resort. We are trying to get as many of the right people into our adoption and fostering as we can for the sake of the children."
An information evening aimed at encouraging potential LGBT adopters and foster carers to come forward is due to take place at the Colston Hall in Bristol from 18:00 GMT until 20:00 GMT.
The capsule, dating back to 1840, was discovered in the foundations of a building in Brooke Park as part of a planned excavation.
The site was originally home to a boys orphanage which was demolished in 1986.
The lead cylinder has yet to be opened but it is thought to contain coins and papers from the time.
Colin Kennedy, the parks development manager with Derry City and Strabane District Council, said they were very excited by the discovery.
"Last Thursday we committed to a one day excavation on the North east corner of the former Gwyn's institute. We knew from the papers at the time that there was a time capsule placed in the foundation stone and low and behold we found it carved into the stone itself.
"As yet the time capsule is yet to be opened and our colleagues in the heritage and museum service will look into that because obviously it needs to be opened in a very sensitive manner that we don't destroy it or its contents inside."
Mr Kennedy said that a rattling sound. which comes from the capsule when it is gently shaken, suggests it might contain coins.
"We know broadly speaking what it would contain but not the detail, traditionally this was a thing done in Victorian times where we would have coins of the day and some papers of the day.
"If you look at the one that was found in the Guildhall there's coins of the realm there as well so we can assume that there may well be money inside.
"We need to determine the timescale of when we open this but obviously everyone is very excited."
Contractors working as part of Guildhall Restoration project in October 2010 discovered a time capsule which provided a valuable glimpse into the building's past.
The glass vessel contained coins and documents that were placed on site at the laying of the the Guildhall's foundation stone 23 August 1887.

Tilly Sawford, 9, from Nottingham, has undergone about 500 operations and had a leg amputated following the accident when she was just 15 months old.
Emma Sawford said Tilly was given a 5% chance of survival after suffering extensive injuries.
The pair met the prime minister after Tilly received a bravery award.
Mrs Sawford said the day the accident happened there had been a fault with her home's boiler which meant the water was scalding hot within seconds.
She said while she was out of the room Tilly's brother turned the bath tap on, because he couldn't reach the sink tap, and left it running.
Not long after Tilly leaned over the bath and fell in.
"She was standing in the bath with no skin on," said Mrs Sawford.
"Her eyes rolled at the back of her head, I thought we'd lost her there and then."
Mrs Sawford and her partner were told to expect the worst but amazingly Tilly survived.
Ciaran O'Boyle, a consultant plastic surgeon from Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, told the BBC: "She had burns to 86% of her total body surface.
"At the time no child of that age had survived so severe an injury."
Emma Sawford said: "It has been hard in the past few years seeing her go through so much pain.
"She will go into the anaesthetic room and she will be laughing with the surgeons - she loves the sleeping gas!"
Tilly won Child of Courage at the Pride of Britain Awards and on Tuesday went to Number 10 to meet Prime Minister Theresa May.
Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridge City Council were the final two authorities to back the plans for the county and Peterborough.
It will see a combined authority with representatives from seven councils and the local enterprise partnership chaired by a directly elected mayor.
Interim leader Steve Count said it was a "significant moment".

He said: "This decision... is absolutely huge for the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
"We are talking about £600m for infrastructure, £170m for housing, we're going to be able to decide locally what to do with skills funding and this give the people an opportunity to directly elect their mayor."
Cambridge City Council was the seventh and final authority to vote in favour of the deal at its full council meeting on Tuesday.
The new mayor for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will have a big job in front of them - with significant powers and significant cash.
Millions to spend on housing and transport are designed to help Cambridgeshire's economy grow. That's also the point of new powers over training and public transport.
But before that can begin, there's the small matter of an election. Expect to hear lots from candidates and parties in the build-up to May 2017.
Seventy million pounds over five years has been ring-fenced to the city council for a Cambridge Housing Plan.
It will be spent on plans for more than 500 new council homes.
There will be a £100m affordable housing fund over five years across the combined authority area, and a new £20m annual fund for the next 30 years to support economic growth, development of local transport infrastructure and jobs.
Arrangements to hold elections for a mayor in May will get under way alongside setting up a shadow combined authority.
Plans for devolution for Norfolk and Suffolk have been called off after West Norfolk council voted against them.
The ferry operating company, Island Ferries Teoranta, took the decision after objecting to passenger levies proposed by the council, which the ferry company said were too high.
Galway County Council wanted the Island Ferries to levy 80 cents per passenger.
The council will now consider a request for a 40-cent levy by Island Ferries.
At a budget meeting later, councillors will also look at scrapping a five-euro passenger fee for permanent residents on the island.
Independent Galway councillor Thomas Welby told RTÉ's Morning Ireland there was "no rational reason" why the ferry company was refusing to impose the 80 cent levy on passengers.
He said the cash generated was not to raise profit but were to pay for necessary works and leases on the harbour.
Jason O'Sullivan, a spokesperson for Island Ferries Teoranta, told the programme the costs upon which the levy was based had not been independently audited or assessed.
He also said the ferry company felt it was a "discriminatory tax" and said the route was not profitable during the winter months.
The 37-year-old ended his playing career last month after 735 senior appearances spread over 18 years.
He also played for Plymouth, Mansfield, Bristol Rovers, Crystal Palace, Leyton Orient, Bournemouth, AFC Wimbledon, and Gillingham.
As well as working with the first team, he will assist young players making the transition into the senior squad.
"He's got real drive and enthusiasm, which is key at an important part of the season for everyone," Millwall boss Neal Harris told the club website.
"Adam will be working at first team level but also with young players who are making the transition into the senior squad."
Meanwhile, Harris has been named League One Manager of the Month after the Lions, who face Tottenham in an FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday, went unbeaten during February.
"Well, we previously called him 'babyface', because of his boyish features as a youngster but, once he hit lower sixth, he just shot up!" recalls Kennedy. "His physical demeanour completely changed. That's where 'Shoots' comes from."
Centre Stuart McCloskey is now the same weight and height as back row Stephen Ferris was when he first started playing for Ulster.
"He's not just about power and strength. Stuart is creative," says Kennedy.
"And that reflects what he was like at school. In modern rugby that creativity is beaten out of players, it can be seen as a weakness, too dangerous, too loose."
The rise of McCloskey was not unexpected in the corridors of Bangor Grammar.
For three years, he played for the college firsts, not as a centre but at fly-half.
Then, while still at school, he appeared for the Dungannon senior side in the Ulster League.
"We have these conversations all the time in the staff room - who will make it? It genuinely isn't a surprise.
"Stuart always had it. I firmly believe his career is only starting. I believe he can go further."
In the Ireland camp this week, coach Joe Schmidt recalled the first time McCloskey grabbed his attention: "When I first saw him squaring up and carrying ball and getting behind a defensive line."
McCloskey's Ulster and now Ireland team-mate Andrew Trimble adds: "He's got confidence, but it's the right kind of confidence.
"I can't wait to see him play on Saturday night."
And, of course, as McCloskey's old teacher can verify, there's a great buzz around the Bangor school for the former pupil.
"Stuart is a guy that the students here all feel they know. We're all very proud. He's a role model for our students."
There's very little the teacher can do now except, like the rest of the rugby world, sit back and watch his old pupil 'Shoots' do his thing.

A spokeswoman told the Associated Press that it would begin as an accident inquiry because there was no evidence so far to link it to terrorism.
The authorities, she said, were "not at all" favouring the theory the Airbus A320 was brought down deliberately.
Flight MS804 from Paris to Cairo crashed in the Mediterranean Sea on 19 May, killing all 66 people on board.
Earlier on Monday, Egyptian investigators said the damaged memory chips from the plane's cockpit voice and data recorders had been flown to France.
Technicians at France's BEA air accident investigations agency will attempt to clean and repair them, and then send them back to Egypt for analysis.
The flight recorders were recovered from the plane's wreckage, about 290km (180 miles) north of the Egyptian coast and at a depth of about 3,000m (9,800ft).
The cause of the crash remains a mystery.
Automated electronic messages sent by the plane revealed that smoke detectors went off in a toilet and in the avionics area below the cockpit, minutes before the plane's signal was lost.
Radar data shows the plane turned 90 degrees left and then 360 degrees to the right, dropping from 11,300m (37,000ft) to 4,600m (15,000ft) and then 3,000m (10,000ft) before it disappeared.

Prince Charles last visited Muchelney in February to meet people directly affected by the winter floods.
He returned earlier to acknowledge the perseverance of the community and to see how the village is striving to get back to normal.
The Prince's Countryside Fund has donated £50,000 to help the area.
The visit was part of a series of engagements in the county, which includes an effort to help promote tourism in the region hit by the effect of the floods.
He attended a reception of 100 guests at Almonry Barn, where owner of the previously flooded venue - Louise Wilson-Ward - spoke positively about the future.
"The message today is to not keep harping on about the floods, otherwise our economy is really going to suffer," she said.
"If you put the word 'Somerset' in Google, what comes up is pictures of the floods and people are avoiding the whole area but we are open for business again."
Farmer Jane Pine, 59, who lost 200-acres but still managed to milk her 400 cows three times each day, said Prince Charles had achieved more in his February visit than in 10 years of local campaigning.
"I told Prince Charles and he said 'Well I had to do something, it's runs in the family, it's in my blood.' And he is, he is just like his dad - he says it like it is.
"He said 'At least I have done some good.' He really does know what he is talking about, he is a farmer himself and he knows what is going on at this time of year.
"He pushed all the politicians into doing something. We have all been pushing for years and they have done nothing."

Australian researchers found the odds of a boy went up from 51 in 100 when conceived naturally to 56 in 100.
But another assisted reproduction technique called ICSI, which singles out the sperm that will fertilise the IVF egg, makes a girl more likely.
The study reported in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology looked at nearly 14,000 births.
This group comprised all live births following fertility treatment in clinics in Australia and New Zealand between 2002 and 2006.
In the UK, over 35,000 women a year undergo IVF.
The University of New South Wales researchers say patients should be counselled about the side effects of different assisted reproduction techniques.
Couples undergoing IVF - where an egg is taken from the woman and mixed with the man's sperm in the lab for fertilisation before being put back into her womb - can expect a slightly increased chance of having a boy, they say.
However, for couples undergoing ICSI - where a single sperm is selected for injection and fertilisation of the IVF egg - the odds lean slightly towards having a girl.
In their study, the likelihood of an IVF birth resulting in a boy was between 53% and 56%, depending on how soon the fertilised egg was put back into the woman.
Taking the higher value, this would mean that in every hundred births, 56 would be baby boys and 44 would be girls.
This compares with 49 boys in every hundred births for ICSI and 51 boys in every hundred births with natural conception.
Editor-in-chief of the BJOG Professor Philip Steer said the balance of boys and girls born in a population - known as the secondary sex ratio (SSR) - varies over time naturally, in response to external factors such as times of hardship with famine or war.
But the latest findings suggest man's interference in reproduction may also be having an impact.
And this could have future implications for public health, says Professor Steer.
"We know that already in some parts of India and China, a higher proportion of male babies have been born or survive because of parents deliberately choosing the gender of their baby, and this is leading to significant social problems with some men being unable to find a wife.
"It is important that we don't allow such imbalances to occur unintentionally, simply because we have neglected to study the factors that influence the secondary sex ratio in the increasing proportion of the population who use assisted reproductive technology."
Fertility expert Dr Allan Pacey, from the University of Sheffield, said: "There is no evidence I am aware of to show that sex ratios at a national level have changed as a consequence of assisted conception procedures, although nature can impose some big variations following natural phenomena and man-made events.
"Patients should certainly not consider using this as a method of trying to have a boy or girl, since the procedure used needs to be selected to try and maximise the chance of pregnancy." | Women using IVF to get pregnant should be aware that they will be more likely to have a boy than a girl, say experts. | 11,419,466 | 657 | 30 | false |

Manchester United forward Rooney, 29, needs seven goals to replace Charlton as England's all-time leading scorer.
"Obviously I'm not going to be as big a legend as Sir Bobby Charlton - he's won the World Cup," Rooney writes in the programme for England's Euro 2016 qualifier with Slovenia on Saturday.
"To eclipse that I'd have to win the World Cup."
Rooney, who will be 32 when the World Cup takes place in Russia in 2018, is expected to win his 100th international cap at Wembley on Saturday.
The former Everton striker, who made his England debut aged 17 in 2003, is the country's fourth-top goalscorer with 43.
And he is confident he will surpass the record of 1966 World Cup winner Charlton, who scored 49 goals for his country.
He said: "The record has stood for so many years, there have been plenty of players who haven't been able to break it.
"I'm still relatively young and believe I can do it.
"I could sit here saying I've got 200 caps and 100 goals for my country.
"But the ultimate is to win a trophy and that's what we all want to do."
Earlier, England manager Roy Hodgson praised Rooney's resolve and mental strength.
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live, Hodgson said he had been impressed by his captain's commitment.

"He burst on to the scene as the wonder kid. He was the saviour of English football," added Hodgson, who appointed Rooney to succeed Steven Gerrard as skipper in August.
"And he has had to suffer the slings and arrows because of the times when, of course, he has not been able to be the saviour of English football and people have criticised him for it.
"Having built him up to a very high level, they have worked very hard to knock him right back down again.
"I think that has given him an incredible maturity and mental strength that we will need going forward.
"He is a very caring captain. He is very good in making certain that everyone is comfortable and satisfied and that there are no problems within the group. He has taken the captaincy unbelievably seriously." | Captain Wayne Rooney says he will never be an England legend like Sir Bobby Charlton unless he wins the World Cup. | 30,014,299 | 512 | 28 | false |
A 45-year-old man from London was rescued at about 05:50 BST after the vessel went down two miles off the coast of Shoreham, the RNLI said.
The rescued man, who said he was part of a crew of four, was found clinging to a buoy and saved by a passing fisherman.
The coastguard later suspended its search for the two missing people.
Andy Jenkins, controller with the UK Coastguard, said: "Following an extensive search of the area using multiple assets nothing further has been found at this time so the decision has been made to suspend the search pending further information.
"A review of the incident details will be ongoing through the rest of the day."
The rescued man, who is originally from Romania, was picked up by an RNLI lifeboat and taken to shore at Shoreham before being taken to hospital.
Matt Pavitt, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency's south east coastal operations area commander, said: "Anybody that spends that length of time, numerous hours potentially, in the sea without any protective equipment - at this time of year it's a nice day but the sea is still cold - is very, very lucky to be alive."
Mr Pavitt said it would look into suggestions the men's boat collided with another vessel, but said it was too early to confirm what happened.
He said that whatever happened had been very quick, as "there was no distress call, no-one raised the alarm until the chap was found this morning".
BBC South East reporter Simon Jones said there had been some communication difficulties between the rescued man and emergency crews but he told them there had been three other men in boat.
A search of the area started and a man's body was recovered from the sea at about 08:15. It was brought ashore by a coastguard helicopter.
Boats and ships in the area were asked to look out for the two men who could be missing from the boat.
Up to 15 boats and ships, helped by two coastguard helicopters from Lydd and Lee-on-Solent, were involved in the search for the two missing men before it was suspended.
They included about 10 vessels from the nearby Rampion offshore wind farm.
Sussex Police said they believed the men onboard, all thought to be Romanian, left Brighton Marina at about midnight on a fishing trip and the boat may have sunk "a couple of hours later, but the facts are not clear at this time".
The men are thought to have gone out to sea on a fishing trip.

The 80-year-old champion of the Doric dialect will step down from the Scottish dance music show this weekend.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Twitter: "Sad that broadcasting legend, Robbie Shepherd, is hanging up his headphones. Best wishes to him."
Others highlighted how they had grown up with his voice on the radio.
Robbie was described as "a legend and all round really nice human being", and another comment said "Stuck on a bus, coming home from an away game in Edinburgh, will never be the same again #TakeTheFloor".
Robbie's work has been recognised with an MBE, and he was also inducted into a hall of fame by the Trad Music Awards.
Robbie said of the future: "I am taking a break, that is for sure."
He added with a smile: "But, as they say, I am a wanted man. I hope sincerely you have not heard the last of this Doric voice.
"It's been 35 years of sheer pleasure."
Robbie's final Take the Floor will be broadcast on Saturday 17 September at 19:00.
Tomer Hemed had a great chance to put the league leaders ahead but his penalty was saved by on-loan Arsenal keeper Emiliano Martinez.
Wolves striker Adam Le Fondre had a shot cleared off the line before Conor Coady saw red for a poor tackle.
Beram Kayal, Liam Rosenior and Jamie Murphy had efforts late on but the Seagulls were unable to find a winner.
Brighton are now three points clear of second-placed Middlesbrough at the top of the Championship, with Wolves sitting 18th, two points above the relegation zone.
The first real opportunity of the game came after Wolves defender Scott Golbourne fouled Murphy inside the area, but Martinez pulled off a brilliant double save from Hemed's effort and then the striker's follow-up.

The hosts should have been ahead when James Henry's free-kick was headed into Le Fondre's path by Ethan Ebanks-Landell, but his touch towards goal was stopped by Hemed.
After Coady was dismissed for his poorly-timed tackle on Rosenior, the Seagulls pressed forward and Kayal and Rosenior had shots saved, while Murphy nodded wide.
Wolves struggled to create when they were a man down, with Benik Afobe's pulled shot their best effort in a second half with few chances.
Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett: "It was a very well-earned point against an impressive side. Brighton were good today, moved the ball very well and got a high number of crosses in.
"We had to work hard for the clean sheet in the dying minutes. When they put Bobby Zamora and Elvis Manu on, you wonder how the dynamics of the game are going to change.
"But the young centre-half pairing (Kortney Hause and Ethan Ebanks-Landell) stood very firm and showed a lot of promise."

Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "I couldn't fault the commitment of the players and I thought they had a real go.
"We had a midweek game and Wolves hadn't and there were little periods in that first half when they maybe looked a little fresher than we did.
"So it is difficult to be too disappointed but, of course, we did have a really good opportunity with the penalty."
Anastasiya Kapachinskaya, Inga Abitova and Denis Alekseyev tested positive for banned substance Turinabol.
Kapachinskaya claimed silver in the women's 4x400m relay, while Alekseyev took bronze in the men's 4x400m.
Their medals had already been reallocated by the International Olympic Committee, with Great Britain set to receive bronze in both events.
The GB women's quartet - Christine Ohuruogu, Kelly Sotherton, Marilyn Okoro and Nicola Sanders - finished fifth but have moved to third as a result of both third-placed Russia and fourth-placed Belarus being disqualified due to subsequent failed tests.
The men's four - Andrew Steele, Robert Tobin, Michael Bingham and Martyn Rooney - moved from fourth to third when the IOC stripped third-placed Russia of their medal in September.
The Russian Athletic Federation has now handed out its own discipline to the three athletes, who each admitted their guilt to world governing body the IAAF.
In addition, Kapachinskaya tested positive for stanozolol and her retested sample from the 2011 World Athletics Championships in Daegu also came back positive.
Abitova, who came sixth in the women's 10,000m in Beijing, was the only one of the trio whose offence did not see medals reallocated.
British Athletics is now in possession of medals that can be presented to the men's 4x400m team.
A ceremony could be held at the World Athletics Championships in London in August or at the Anniversary Games in the same city a month earlier.
But, as the World Championships is an IAAF event, the IOC would have to give permission for any presentation to take place as Olympic medals fall under their jurisdiction.
British Athletics does not have possession of medals for the women's 4x400m team yet as legal proceedings are ongoing regarding athletes in their race.
Sotherton is also due to receive a heptathlon bronze from the 2008 Games after being upgraded, while Goldie Sayers was also moved up to third place in the women's javelin.
Both are also waiting on legal proceedings to conclude before their medals can be handed out.
The IOC is retesting hundreds of stored samples from the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics using improved testing techniques.
Russia was accused in a World Anti-Doping Agency report last year of state-sponsored doping. Its athletics team was barred from last summer's Rio Olympics and remains banned.
They finished top of the table for the fifth time in seven seasons but have been out of the Premiership since 2009.
Bristol hold a 15-point lead from the away leg and will play in front of a packed Ashton Gate on Wednesday.
"We know what it's like to be in the other camp, so it gives us a kind of advantage," he told BBC Points West.
"I don't think you can compare it to previous years - obviously you can say we've been in similar situations before."
Andy Robinson's side were dominant at the semi-final stage this season, thrashing Bedford 90-35 on aggregate.
Glynn, who plays at lock, is one of Bristol's longest-serving players and thinks there is still room for improvement from the first leg.
"Obviously the scoreline is slightly in our favour at the moment but we weren't 100% happy with our performance, so there's lots of little things that we can tweak and work on," he added.
"There are lots of areas that we've looked at. We're hard on ourselves, I think that's good - we've been like it all season.
"We know what it's like to be on the other foot and obviously Doncaster will still have that belief."
The incident happened at the Twin Peaks Sports Bar and Grill in a shopping area called the Central Texas Market Place.
Police said eight had died at the scene and a ninth in hospital - all were bikers. At least 18 others were hurt.
One witness quoted by the Waco Tribune-Herald said the car park of the restaurant resembled "a war zone".
"There were maybe 30 guns being fired in the parking lot, maybe 100 rounds," Michelle Logan said.
Diners at the Twin Peaks cafe said they and the staff had locked themselves in a freezer room for safety before being escorted off the premises by armed police.
Waco police said the shooting happened shortly after midday when rival gangs got into a fight, apparently over parking space near the restaurant. Up to five gangs were involved.
Police spokesman Sgt W Patrick Swanton said the fight started with punches and then escalated to chains, clubs, knives and finally firearms.
"This is probably one of the most gruesome crime scenes I've ever seen in my 34 years of law enforcement,'' he said.
Police knew the meeting was going on, and officers moved in as soon as the shooting started.
McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara later said all nine who were killed were members of the Bandidos or Cossacks gangs, according to the Associated Press news agency.
"These are very dangerous hostile biker gangs," Sgt Swanton said. "A lot of innocent people could have been injured today."
One witness said he and his family had just finished their lunch and walked into the car park when they heard gunshots.
"We crouched down in front of our pick-up truck because that was the only cover we had," the witness - who asked not to be named - was quoted as saying.
Sgt Swanton said there were concerns that groups involved in the shooting may have moved to other locations in and around Waco.
Several nearby roads were closed, and police asked residents to avoid the area until an all-clear was issued.
Waco police said no officers had been injured in the shooting.

Sterling rose 1.04% against the dollar to $1.4613, and was up 1.41% against the euro at €1.2964.
Thousands of people cheered in the summer sunshine as he stood in front of the Brandenburg Gate and took off his jacket, telling the crowd he could be informal as he was among friends.
Obvious comparisons were drawn. Not far away, 50 years - almost to the day - earlier, President John F Kennedy had delivered his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech to a delighted crowd.
As the news magazine Spiegel wrote after Mr Obama's visit, the US president "left the city having achieved his primary goal - that of putting a feel-good coat of paint on a transatlantic relationship that had recently begun to show its age".
For years, Germans have rated President Obama highly.
In fact, according to Pew research, which surveys scores of countries, German confidence in Mr Obama was the highest in the world. Until last year, when that confidence slumped to well below that displayed by people in France or the UK.
President Kennedy told a huge crowd that West Berlin was a symbol of freedom in a world threatened by the Cold War.
"Two thousand years ago," he said, "the proudest boast in the world was, 'Civis Romanus sum.'
"Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is, 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'
"Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect," he added. "But we never had to put up a wall to keep our people in."
His speech was punctuated throughout by rapturous cheers of approval.
He ended on the theme he had begun with: "All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words, 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'"
And in the past few years the number of Germans who viewed America favourably fell too. Just 51% now hold a good opinion of the US.
"The honeymoon's over," ran one newspaper headline. So what happened?
Germany's relationship with the US is best described as complicated.
Arguably, it is a cultural thing. Germans do not, for example, share America's more hawkish approach to foreign policy.
There is mistrust and concern over US use of drones, and the Iraq War, which Germany strongly opposed, still casts a shadow.
And that's before anyone has mentioned claims of spying.
But while geopolitical threats such as Russian action in Ukraine - divide opinion between the two countries, they also unite them.
For Germany, the US is a powerful ally - but Angela Merkel is widely seen by the West as chief communicator with President Vladimir Putin.
And, as Europe's largest economy and, by default, arguably Europe's lead nation, it is vital to the US too, which makes the relationship between the countries' leaders so interesting.
When Mr Obama and Mrs Merkel were pictured recently, high in the Bavarian mountains at the G7 summit, the image ignited worldwide speculation.
Was she telling him off? Trying to impress him? Or were they just sharing a joke?
It is, after all, a relationship that has endured some storms.
Mrs Merkel was famously furious when it emerged in 2013 that the US secret services may have tapped her mobile telephone.
"Friends spying on one another," she said, "that's just not on."
The US public agreed. And claims about the mass surveillance of German citizens further soured transatlantic relations. Mrs Merkel sought a "no-spy" agreement, which never transpired.
Has the Obama-Merkel relationship recovered?
"They still respect one another and hold each other in high regard," says Peter Beyer, a conservative MP and "special rapporteur" on transatlantic relations for the German government.
He points out that Mrs Merkel stayed at the "guest house" next to the White House during a recent trip to Washington - not an honour afforded to every visiting head of government.
You get the sense too that the power balance has shifted, that President Obama, who is weakened domestically, benefits from an apparently strong relationship with Europe's most powerful politician.
"They're in close communication," says Mr Beyer.
"Chancellor Merkel sees Obama under enormous interior pressure."
Mr Flanagan was speaking on Thursday night after a day of talks at Stormont.
Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty last week, starting a two-year countdown to the UK's exit from the EU.
She said there would be "no return to the borders of the past".
Speaking in Belfast, Mr Flanagan said: "I believe it's absolutely essential that a hard border on the island of Ireland be avoided.
"We have made great strides here, particularly in the context of the peace process and indeed the hard-won gains of the peace process, that's why I'm here in Belfast."
He added: "It's absolutely essential that the open border remain in between north and south.
"Over 30,000 cross that border every day to work or to school or for hospital appointments."
After a scoreless opening 28 minutes, Saints' Ken Pisi dived over and then Michael Paterson touched down.
Josh Charnley raced onto Mike Haley's chip through for his first Sale try, but Saints still led 15-7 at the break.
Hooker Mike Haywood was driven over and Ethan Waller raced in a fourth, either side of Bryn Evans' consolation.
Sixth-placed Saints are now four points behind Bath in fourth, while Sale have a 12-point buffer to bottom-side Bristol, who play Worcester on Sunday.
A scrappy first half in wet conditions at the AJ Bell Stadium was finally brought to life when wing Pisi collected Harry Mallinder's pass following some quick hands from the youngster.
A combination of dominance in the pack, which resulted in tries for forwards Paterson and Haywood, and accuracy from the boot of Stephen Myler meant Sale rarely threatened to overturn Saints' lead.
The visitors' excellent night was capped in the last minute when Waller finished off a fine team move to earn what could be a crucial bonus point in the run-in.
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond:
"Second half, fair play to them, Stephen Myler gave us a master class on how to keep us in our own half, and we couldn't deal with it.
"It doesn't happen often down here but we got out-enthused, which I'm not happy with - there's one or two of our lads who've got to look at themselves - if they have aspirations of playing at the highest level, they've got to do it here.
"As a collective the place looked leaderless - we lost Will Addison and it looked like nobody could take the game by the scruff of the neck, so I'm really disappointed with that."
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder:
"You don't play in the Premiership for 10 years, score so many points and make so many appearances if you're not a good player and Stephen is.
"He showed the value of experience in that position and some of his kicking was outstanding tonight."
"The team played with really good control which you need to do in these conditions.
"Our back three played well, we got into really good field positions to cover Sale's attacking and kicking threats and we probably did that a bit better than they did."
Sale: Haley; Solomona, Leota, Jennings, Charnley; James, Phillips; Harrison, Webber, Aulika, Evans, Mills, Nield, Lund, Beaumont (capt).
Replacements: T Curry, Flynn, Longbottom, Nott, B Curry, Seymour, Stringer, Mugford, McGuigan.

He has faced criticism since saying he would be standing down from the assembly but would continue to lead the party from Westminster as an MP.
Deputy leader, Dolores Kelly, said voters had expressed concerns about Dr McDonnell during the Westminster election campaign trail.
But the SDLP executive said they would "support" Dr McDonnell.
"The party executive met today to discuss the result of the Westminster election," a statement said.
"We're delighted that the party has defended its three seats.
"The executive endorses the strategic direction and development of the party under the leadership of Alasdair McDonnell and will continue to support him in that regard."
Alasdair McDonnell has made it clear he does not intend to stand down.
Earlier this week, former SDLP leader Mark Durkan said the party leadership needs to change in time for next year's assembly election.
Speaking on BBC One programme The View, Mr Durkan, who stepped down as leader in 2010, said Dr McDonnell's leadership was "a real issue" posed by voters on the doorstep during general election canvassing.
"If Alasdair thinks that just resigning from the assembly deals with the questions, well it won't because these questions will all surface again once he resigns from the assembly," he said.
"As we move towards an assembly election, the questions won't go away and therefore I think if we're going to be in a better position to fight the election, then the leadership needs to change."
Dr McDonnell earlier rejected criticism by party grandees Seamus Mallon and Brid Rodgers that he should step down, telling the programme: "I'm not going to run away from a task half done."
"It's also the case," Sun editor-in-chief Tony Gallagher told the BBC, "that we knew much more than we published and that remains the case."
Any future revelations won't alter the complaint sitting in the press watchdog's in-tray.
"Queen backs Brexit" was a headline that stuck in the monarchical craw.
It wasn't supported, as far as the palace is concerned, by any of the quotes in the Sun article.
Before the Queen was in its sights, the tabloid had criticised Prince William for being work shy - an accusation echoed in other newspapers.
It's led some to question whether this signals the start of a shift in how the papers portray the royals.
The reality is more likely to be that recent coverage serves as a reminder of the media's complex relationship with the Windsors - a family which over time has been both praised and pilloried in print.
People are lying in the corridors on spare hospital beds waiting their turn.
Those who can sit up are in wheelchairs - not standard hospital issue. These are plastic garden chairs with wheels attached to them.
Public finances are stretched - more than ever, some would say.
June saw 677 murders in El Salvador, more than any other month since the country's civil war ended in 1992.
Juan - not his real name - is lucky not to be another number in those grisly statistics. Thirty-seven years old, he runs a recycling business and a carwash. Four men arrived at his work and opened fire: 40 bullets.
"Thank God just one bullet hit my arm," he tells me from his hospital bed.
Juan says in the 20 years he has had his own business he has never given in to gangs trying to extort money from him. "I'm the sort of person who would prefer to die fighting than be brought to my knees."
The police never came to see him to find out what happened. And did he go to them to report it?
"What's the point? I don't believe in the system," he says. He is now making plans to leave the country with his wife and two children.
Throughout his recovery, he has been seen by nurse Alicia de Polanco. She is a special kind of nurse, not there to mend his shattered arm. There are other people to do that. Instead, she is trying to fix the mental trauma.
Alicia is part of a project which in English translates as Healing Wounds, supported by a USAid programme. Whether they are gang members or innocent victims, her role is to help to stop the cycle of violence.
"The first few moments are when they are most vulnerable," she says. "So it's very important to get involved."
Violence is just like dengue fever or the flu, according to Alicia.
"If it hits you and you don't realize you're going to have a massive fever, you think you're going to die," she says.
"But if somebody comes along and tells you, look, it will last three days, your whole body will ache but you'll then start to get better, you start reconnecting and picking up the pieces."
On the outskirts of the capital, San Salvador, is a factory that is trying to pick up the pieces, but in a very different way. It is not long after dawn and all the workers at League Central America are gathered outside. Everyone listens intently to a motivational speech followed by prayers.
Once that is over, work begins. Most of the more than 400 employees are sat behind sewing machines, sewing on labels or cutting material that is used to make sweatshirts and shorts.
All the clothes here are branded with American university logos such as Harvard and Brown and sent to the US.
Just over one in 10 are former gang members, from both the rival gangs - the Mara Salvatrucha and the 18th Street gang. You can tell their affiliation by the tattoos that some of them still have. Up until a few years ago, it used to be standard if you were a gang member.
But tattoos apart, they have started new lives here. One of them - I'll call him Jorge to protect his identity - came to work here through a church group. That is a prerequisite to work here.
After years of robbing, extorting, attacking and even killing several people, he decided to give it all up.
"It didn't make any sense, I was bored of it," he tells me. "I was fed up with suffering. I was in the street all the time.
"My daughter was born and I didn't want her to go through the same thing I had gone through."
The only thing left of his gang days is the tattoo. He pulls down his lower lip to show it to me - carved out with a knife, it is inked with the words MS - to mark him out as a Mara. He says though that gang violence is getting worse.
"They go around killing police, soldiers," he says. "It's partly because of the lack of work, the poverty.
"There are lots of former gang members who want to change their lives but they don't have a way out, nobody gives them an opportunity. So they go back to what they used to do."
Jorge was lucky. He is now one of the chief pattern cutters at League Central America and is thankful for another chance at life.
"People join gangs because they have to. They join because they have no other choice," says Carly Gerstman, the development manager at League Central America.
"We've found that they have the motivation and they have the drive and they have the appreciation that, you know, we are bringing them back in and we are giving them this opportunity, and they take it and they run with it."
Company boss Rodrigo Bolanos says businesses need to play a part in solving the cycle of violence.
"The war between the government and gang members is already here, it's already started," he says.
"In the process of suffocating the economy and the country the private companies need to take a position to look for a dignified way out."
The Patron's Lunch will be attended by 10,000 guests - many from charities supported by the Queen - in London's The Mall, on Sunday 12 June next year.
The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince William and Prince Harry will attend the party.
Organiser Peter Phillips - the Queen's grandson - said his grandmother was "excited" at the prospect of the event.
The street party will be the culmination of a weekend of national events next summer to celebrate the Queen's official 90th birthday.
A service of thanksgiving - which will be attended by the Queen and Prince Philip - will be held at St Paul's Cathedral on Friday 10 June.
The following day the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony will be staged in Horse Guards Parade.
Celebrations are also being held in May next year, including four events inside the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The Mall will be lined with picnic tables for the street party, during which guests will enjoy a hamper-style lunch, organisers say.
Of the 10,000 tickets, 7,500 will be allocated guests from the Queen's charities and organisations, 1,000 will be made available for public ballot, and 1,500 will be provided to the event's official partners.
Members of the public will also be able to share in the festivities at live sites situated in Green Park and St James's Park.
The street party will raise money for the new Patron's Fund, which will be used to support specific initiatives and projects run by the Queen's charities.
Mr Phillips, who is helping to organise the street party in his role as director of events agency Sports Entertainment Ltd, said the celebration would emphasise the Queen's support for her charities.
"We want to reflect the service she's given to all her organisations and charities," he said.
Speaking of his grandmother, he added: "She's obviously been kept abreast through her office about all the developments, and the times I've had the chance to talk to her she's been excited by it."
The Queen is patron of a wide range of organisations, including children's charity Barnardo's, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The Patron's Organisations is a collection of 626 charities and organisations that span 16 different sectors and are represented across the UK and the Commonwealth.
Under current regulations, players who have yet to make an international appearance can play for a country after having lived there for three years.
But World Rugby chief executive Brett Gosper and president Bernard Lapasset believe it is time for a review.
"We are doing a consultation with the unions to determine what their view is," Gosper told BBC Radio 5 live.
"What we are going to do is look at it. Certainly Bernard Lapasset feels it is something that needs to be looked at and I think I share his view."
All four of the home unions - England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland - have fielded players recently who have qualified through the residency system.
The South Africa-born pair of Josh Strauss and WP Nel have been included in Scotland's 46-man World Cup training squad, with both becoming eligible shortly before the tournament, while the New Zealand-born Jared Payne is a regular in the Ireland midfield.
The Wasps number eight Nathan Hughes turned down representing his native Fiji at the upcoming tournament, and becomes eligible for England in 2016.
Hughes is on the radar of the England management.
"The integrity of the international game is important, there is a lot of player movement internationally, and we just need to take stock. Is this the right rule now? We will come to an answer on that," Gosper added.
"I don't want to speculate on an outcome, but I think it's good we are looking at it.
"Things have moved on since the last time we have looked at it, and there just maybe a different decision on it than there was last time."

Kevin Scott, from Lincoln, and the UK Monowheel Team broke the previous record of 57mph (91.7km/h) set by Kerry McClean in the US in 2001.
The record, included in the 2017 Guinness World Records book, was set at Elvington Airfield, near York, in 2015.
Mr Scott said recording a new fastest speed was "absolutely fantastic".
A member of the studio audience on BBC's Question Time said Theresa May had been warned of the dangers of cutting in frontline police numbers.
It had undermined the ability to gather intelligence on possible threats, it was claimed.
Ms Rudd said most intelligence came from community leaders rather than the police.
She said: "I have asked the head of counter-terrorism whether this is about resources. It is not.
"We must not imply that this terrorist activity may not have taken place if there had been more policing."
Police numbers have declined by 19,000 in England and Wales since 2010.
As of September 2016, there were 122,859 police officers working in England and Wales.
Up until 2010, spending on policing had been increasing for at least 15 years, rising most sharply between 2000 and 2010 when it went up by around 30%. But since then, spending has come back down significantly.
Although the Conservatives pledged to protect police budgets in real terms in 2015, this came off the back of five years of deep cuts amounting to 18% in real terms.
The home secretary said good counter-terrorism was based on a close relationship between the police and intelligence services.
"That is what we have. That is why the UK has a strong counter-terrorism network.
"It's also about making sure we get in early on radicalisation. But it's not about those pure numbers on the street."
But Andy Burnham, Labour's Greater Manchester's metro mayor, also speaking on Question Time, said a debate was needed about police numbers.
He said: "Neighbourhood policing is the first building block of an effective intelligence system - the eyes and the ears on the ground in those communities feeding information back - and if you allow neighbourhood policing to become too eroded, and there aren't enough police on our streets, then that does become a problem."
Ms Rudd said another key was the Prevent strategy, which works to build links with community groups, not through the police.
She said Prevent had helped stop 150 people - including 50 children - from leaving Britain to fight in Syria in the last year.
Mr Burnham also called for a review of Prevent, which he said had alienated members of Britain's Muslim community, who felt picked on.
Speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, Security Minister Ben Wallace said the government had invested heavily in counter-terrorism measures.
"When you fight terrorism it is not just boots on the ground," he said.
A former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation has criticised the decision to axe control orders to monitor and restrict freedom of movement of people suspected of terrorist activity.
The measure was scrapped in 2012 amid civil liberty concerns, in favour of less restrictive terrorism prevention and investigation measures (TPIMs).
How can police stop terror suspects travelling?
Lord Carlile, an independent peer, told Today the powers "may have saved dozens of lives" between 2005 and 2011.
He said: "It was a grave mistake by the coalition government to remove control orders and to produce something more dilute."
UKIP has said it would beef up security by increasing numbers of police officers, troops and border guards.
Former Liverpool trainee Flynn, 27, has agreed a two-year deal after five years at Sheffield United.
Flynn, who is an ex-Scotland Under-19 international, has agreed a two-year contract with the Latics.
Dutch defensive midfielder Klok, 23, joins on a six-month deal after his spell at Bulgarian side Cherno More.
He started his career at FC Ultrecht and also had a stint at Scottish Premier League side Ross County.
They are the eighth and ninth new signings at Oldham in the past five days since Stephen Robinson was appointed manager.

Money Advice Trust (MAT) said it helped 150,000 people with household bill debts last year - up 140% since 2007.
But fewer people reported problems with traditional credit products, such as loans and overdrafts, MAT said.
Meanwhile, a BBC survey has found that the most adults in debt have not asked for advice on managing their problem.
Joanna Elson, chief executive of the MAT said: "The gradual erosion of some families' surplus income in the face of rising prices has led to a new generation of debt problems, one to which more people are vulnerable, one which is harder to resolve, and one which has no definitive solution.
"We're hearing from more people in serious debt difficulty as a result of debts totalling less than £5,000. When there is little room in a household budget to meet basic expenses, paying off debts can seem impossible.
"Recent government announcements such as an increase in the minimum wage are a positive step towards helping these families, but more can be done."
However, a survey for BBC North, conducted by Comres, has found that people are hesitant to seek help.
The survey found that 69% of British adults in debt had not asked for advice on managing their debts. The poll surveyed 1,000 respondents between 23 and 25 May 2014.
More than a fifth of women born in the 1970s may remain childless, compared to an average of 15% in northern Europe and 18% in western Europe.
Factors including a precarious labour market and lack of family-friendly work policies help explain the rise in involuntary childlessness, it says.
But the report points out childlessness was also very high about a century ago.
Some 17-25% of women born in the first decade of the 20th Century remained childless, due to factors including the deaths of many men of marriageable age in the First World War, the emigration of other young men in poor countries, and the effects of the 1929 Great Depression.
Since then the average European childless trend, says France's National Institute of Demographic Studies, has formed a U-shape.
Childlessness reached very low levels among women born in the 1930s and 1940s - the parents of the "baby boom" generation which enjoyed post-war prosperity such as low unemployment and generous state welfare systems.
In eastern Europe, the boom in births lasted longer than the west, the report says, bolstered by a lack of the contraception that was becoming available in the west.
Desperate not to have children
Parents who regret having children
Can EU countries still afford their welfare states?
But childlessness began to rise among women born in the 1940s (in the west) and the 1960s (in the east) - due, the report says, to a complex combination of personal and external factors.
"Most of the economic and cultural trends of the last half-century appear to have steered women and men away from having children.
Very few women, it says, plan never to have children - instead, most end up "perpetually postponing parenthood" until it is too late.
"Reliable contraception, delayed union formation and childbearing, greater family fragility, demanding careers and job instability, as well as general economic uncertainty, are likely to foster childlessness".
The report cites high unemployment, "inadequate family policies" and "persistent gender inequalities in the division of domestic work and childcare" as important factors.
"While childlessness has broadly stabilised in western and northern Europe, it is likely to continue rising fast in southern Europe, where up to one quarter of women born in the 1970s may remain childless," the report concludes.
"Childlessness will also continue rising in central and eastern Europe."
But it is not the kind of science you see in TV dramas such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Dr Rodrigo Guerrero is the mayor of Cali, Colombia's third largest city, and a Harvard-trained epidemiologist.
By applying the tools of his trade he has, during his second time in office, once again managed to cut down the city's staggering murder rate.
"I estimate that, by the end of the year, it will be 58 or 59 per 100,000 inhabitants," says Dr Guerrero, who first served as Cali's mayor from 1992 until 1994 and returned to office less than two years ago.
"It still is a terrifying rate, but last year's was 81. And we're confident things will get better," he tells the BBC.
Forensic work and the latest technology - CSI style - have certainly a role to play in what Dr Guerrero is trying to achieve.
But he says he is mainly "using the method we epidemiologists use when we face unknown diseases", as he also did 20 years ago.
"We always assume there are multiple causes," explains the mayor.
"The secret, then, is to identify the different risk factors in order to deal with them. And to keep evaluating the results."
It sounds like common sense. But before the mayor of Cali started doing so in 1992, nobody here had thought about approaching urban violence as an epidemic.
Back then the city's murder rate was a massive 126 per 100,000 inhabitants. And it was widely assumed than most deaths were linked to drug cartels.
A careful analysis of all murder cases, however, allowed for the identification of other risk factors: alcohol and guns.
So Dr Guerrero decided to tackle those two problems head on.
"There's a study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, that shows that during the periods in which we imposed restrictions on gun carrying and alcohol sales murder rates dropped by 35%," says Dr Guerrero.
"Bogota then replicated the experience, with the same results," he recalls.
After leaving office, the epidemiologist went to work with the Pan-American Health Organisation and the Inter-American Development Bank, which helped him to replicate the model in some 18 countries throughout the region.
But, during that time, Dr Guerrero's home city stopped applying the method "judiciously", he claims.
That meant that, once he got back in office, in January 2012, he had to start working on a new diagnosis.
"What we've found this time is that a large proportion of murders are linked with organised crime: there was premeditation, the killings usually involved automatic guns, etc," he explains.
"So we got in touch with the central government and convinced them we needed to apply the same strategy used to dismantle the drug cartels 20 years ago."
This involved setting up specialised taskforces, involving both the police and the judiciary, in order to fully dismantle the criminal groups.
And after two years of work the first results are starting to show.
"Of course, not all the violence is crime related," acknowledges the mayor, who says the fight against inequality is fundamental to solve the problem in the long term.
"But there's a lot that can be done in the meantime," says the epidemiologist, who estimates the work being done in Cali has already saved more than 400 lives in the past 12 months.
The approach championed by Dr Guerrero also earned him the first ever Roux Prize, awarded last week by the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
But he has some more important victories in mind.
"When I got re-elected mayor of Cali I promised to cut down the murder rate to 60 per 100,000. But that's already done, so my new goal is to bring it down to 45 or 40," he says.
"There's room for improvement. And if we continue working hard we'll get results. No doubt about that."

Meri Huws said that Welsh language provision on the site had "deteriorated astonishingly" since its 2012 launch.
She said that the issue was a "major concern" and that she had raised the matter with UK ministers.
The Wales Office said it was working with other UK government departments to ensure that Welsh services improved.
Ms Huws told the assembly's Culture, Welsh Language and Communications committee: "Services provided by UK government have weakened over this past period and that is a major cause of concern for me.
"I have contacted the Wales Office and raised it with ministers in Westminster too and the main reason is the introduction of gov.uk, which means that provision that was once strong from agencies such as the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has deteriorated astonishingly," Ms Huws said.
"We haven't seen a slowdown, we have seen a galloping backwards in terms of provision from Westminster and in seeing the figures that did cause me major concern and we will be following that up."
"Over the past year I have seen agencies of the Westminster government approaching us complaining about the Cabinet Office and gov.uk and saying that it is now hampering their work and they are concerned that the strong bilingual services that they have put in place have been hampered by gov.uk," she added.
The website gov.uk was intended to create a single domain for government.
Responding to the criticism, a Wales Office spokesperson said: "The UK government is committed to the Welsh language.
"The Wales Office notes the Welsh language commissioner's concerns and is working with other government departments to ensure that provision is improved."
A Wales Office spokeswoman said: "The UK government is committed to the Welsh language, the Wales Office notes the Welsh Language Commissioners concerns and is working with other government departments to ensure that provision is improved."

Sock had appealed for help to find the boy after an incident at the end of his first-round win over Chile's Christian Garin on Tuesday.
He threw his towel towards a supporter, leading to a tug-of-war between two spectators.
That led to a campaign that captured the attention of the US Open, the Australian Open and social media.
"If anyone knows who this kid is who had the towel ripped out of his hands by the elderly man, comment his name so I can be sure to get him his own towel," Sock said on Instagram.
The players' agent said on Wednesday that the young fan, who has not been named, had been found.
"The boy messaged Jack directly on Instagram and is from Ireland," Mary Jane Orman said in a statement.
"He is gone home now but Jack invited him to his matches and said he will send him a towel."
It is a common Wimbledon gesture for a player to throw his official towel into the crowd for a lucky fan.
The younger supporter appears to ask 17th seed Sock for the towel, but it is not clear if his rival fan knew it was for the boy.
After Sock chucks his towel, both fans grab it - with the older male winning the brief tug-of-war, keeping the souvenir.
The man has been strongly criticised for seizing the towel on social media, while the fan who lost out has received sympathetic messages from fans.
The US Open replied to Sock's tweet: "If you find out, we'd like to send him a US Open towel. Australian Open, Roland Garros, maybe send one of yours as well for a Slam sweep?"

Crews from 771 squadron have carried out more than 40 years of rescue operations from RNAS Culdrose near Helston, saving thousands of lives.
Maritime and Coastguard Agency contractor Bristow Helicopters will run the service from Newquay airport.
The US-based company won a 10-year, £1.6bn contract to run rescue services around the UK.
The red and grey Sea Kings of 771 Squadron will be replaced by Bristow's new Agusta Westland and Sikorsky helicopters.
Twenty two helicopters will operate 24 hours-a-day from 10 locations and the government says the service "will be able reach a larger area of the UK search and rescue region within one hour".
In 2004, as the Cornish village of Boscastle was overwhelmed by flooding, crews from 771 spent hours airlifting people to safety from rooftops.
In the 1985 Fastnet yacht race, a team from 771 helped saved Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon and 19 others from the yacht Drum after it overturned off Falmouth.
Some of the crew will join Merlin helicopter squadrons at Culdrose training crews for the navy's new aircraft carriers while others have transferred to Bristow.
Pilot Lt Andy Watts said: "We as individuals get a huge amount from the job, it teaches you about making life and death decisions on the fly and weighing up all the balances and you don't get that on other flying that you do."
Mark Coupland, Bristow Helicopter's chief pilot at Newquay, said: "We are keen to acknowledge the past and where a lot of the new coastguard team have come from. Many of the Newquay team have been trained by the Royal Navy and we are massively proud of the lives that 771 has saved over the years."
Salcombe RNLI tweeted: "Thank you @RoyalNavy Rescue 193, 771 Squadron from RNAS Culdrose for exceptional service for over 40 years #proud."

The refund agreement settles long-standing complaints over in-app purchases made by children without their parents' consent.
Apple will also be required to change its billing procedures to make sure customers have given consent before they are charged for in-app purchases.
The company said it had settled rather than take on a "long legal fight".
"This settlement is a victory for consumers harmed by Apple's unfair billing, and a signal to the business community: whether you're doing business in the mobile arena or the mall down the street, fundamental consumer protections apply," said FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez in a statement.
"You cannot charge consumers for purchases they did not authorize."
The FTC's complaint alleged that Apple failed to inform parents that by entering a password they were approving a single in-app purchase and also 15 minutes of additional unlimited purchases their children could make without further consent.
It also said that Apple often presented a password prompt screen for parents to enter their details without explaining that this would finalise any purchase made in the app.
The FTC also noted that Apple received at "least tens of thousands of complaints" about unauthorised in-app purchases by children.
One woman said her daughter had spent $2600 in one app.
This refund settlement only covers customers who have made purchases through Apple's US app store but the BBC's technology editor Rory Cellan-Jones says Apple has previously almost always refunded parents in the UK who have complained about big bills from their children's in-app purchases.
The changes to Apple's billing process, which means express consent must be obtained before in-app charges are made, must be in place by 31 March, said the FTC.
In an internal email obtained by the website 9to5Mac, chief executive Tim Cook told Apple employees that the FTC's proposals were in line with the company's own intentions.
"The consent decree the FTC proposed does not require us to do anything we weren't already going to do, so we decided to accept it rather that take on a long and distracting legal fight," he said.
He also explained that Apple began setting out a process to refund customers last year.
"We wanted to reach every customer who might have been affected, so we sent emails to 28 million App Store customers - anyone who had made an in-app purchase in a game designed for kids.
"When some emails bounced, we mailed the parents postcards.
"In all, we received 37,000 claims and we will be reimbursing each one as promised."
Apple's App Store offers many games for children, a large number of which allow in-app purchases to be made. These purchases can include virtual items or currency, and typically allow faster progression in the game.
In-app purchases can range in cost - from 99 cents to just under $100.
NHS Improvement, which monitors care providers, said it was "not continuing" the switching of services to Bridgewater Community Healthcare (BCH) from Liverpool Community Health Trust.
The former was rated as "requiring improvement" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in 2016.
BCH chief executive Colin Scales said the news was "extremely disappointing".
He said the CQC had rated the majority of its services as "good", patients had told the watchdog that care was delivered "with kindness and compassion", and NHS Improvement had known about the ratings when the initial decision was made.
The decision to scrap the transfer of community health services comes a month after NHS Improvement put the process on hold pending a detailed review.
NHS Improvement said: "Following our work to assess the impact of the 'requires improvement' rating on that proposed transaction, we have decided not to continue the transaction with Bridgewater."
It added the decision was "no reflection" on the services delivered by Bridgewater.
Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust, with support from Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, will manage services in the short-term.
West Lancashire MP Rosie Cooper said: "NHS Improvement have confirmed they were wrong to appoint Bridgewater Community Healthcare in the first place."
"It is by NHS Improvement's own hand that we now have the evidence that Bridgewater Community Healthcare were not up to the job of delivering this contract safely within the finance available," added the Labour MP.
"I think it also proves that NHS Improvement are not up to the job either."
Richard Kemp, leader of the Lib Dem group on Liverpool City Council, called for the NHS England's chief executive to intervene following this "botched and bungled tendering process".
Concerns over BCH - which is used by 1.5 million people annually in Bolton, Oldham, Southport, Halton, St Helens, Trafford, Warrington and Wigan - centred on the CQC inspection last summer which measured 40 areas.
While one aspect of the trust was rated as outstanding, and 27 as good, 12 areas were highlighted as requiring improvement.
Inspectors found unsafe practice in the management of medication and end-of-life prescriptions,
Urgent care centres were found not to be following national guidance.
Overall, the trust was given a rating of "requiring improvement".
A spokesman for the Royal College of Nursing said following the decision, the organisation remains concerned about the long term future of services in Liverpool and "the impact on the people who use these services and the staff that work in them".
Wales is also last in the UK again, behind England, Scotland and Northern Ireland in all three subject areas.
POLITICAL RESPONSE
The Welsh Conservatives said the results marked a "decade of underachievement" and represented a "scandal of monumental proportions".
Education spokesman Darren Millar AM said: "In spite of all the tough talking and promises to do better from the first minister, today's figures place us, yet again, in the bottom half of the global education league table and re-confirm Wales' status as the worst performing school system in the UK."
Plaid Cymru said the results showed Labour had "failed, failed and failed again when it comes to our children's futures".
Education spokesman Llyr Gruffydd AM urged new Education Secretary Kirsty Williams to show "clarity of vision and an unstinting focus on delivery".
He added: "I urge her to stay on course in order to push through the proposed reforms and rebuild an education system fit for the next generation."
Mark Williams MP, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, called the results "extremely disappointing" but "sadly it is not a surprise".
"We are playing catch up and cannot afford to waste a single moment in raising standards for all pupils and schools," he said.
"It is no easy task, but Kirsty Williams and the Welsh Lib Dems have already proved ourselves up to the job."
Nathan Gill of UKIP said: "This Welsh Labour Government are guilty of many things - but their failure to equip our children for an ever more competitive 21st Century must count as one of their greatest crimes".
EDUCATION EXPERTS
Andreas Schleicher, director of education at the OECD, said: "It's true there is a big performance gap but there are signs of improvement, if you look at the latest mathematics results - they're going in the right direction.
"But Wales could have been where England is today - there's no reason why Wales is so far behind but I see many things in place now that are putting it on a more promising track."
He said the country was building a new curriculum and moving from "reform fatigue" to people taking ownership of change, which was an important ingredient for success in the long run.
Dylan William, of the UCL Institute of Education, urged caution on the results for Wales - saying changes took a long time to filter through and it could be another decade before rankings would reflect what was happening in today's classrooms.
Gareth Evans, director of education policy at the Institute of Education, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, said the Pisa results were not as good as hoped for but not unexpected and reforms would take time to take effect.
"Pisa is important but it must be taken in the round," he said.
"Other performance indicators suggest Wales' education system is on the right path and we must hold our nerve.
"The Welsh Government has embarked on an ambitious transformation agenda that has the potential to make a real difference - but we must not be blown off course
TEACHING PROFESSION
David Evans from the National Union of Teachers (NUT) counselled against a new raft of reforms in response to the results.
"We must ensure that we learn one of the major lessons from the highest performing nations in Pisa, and ensure the education system of our small nation has clarity of vision and consistency of approach.
"Too often in Wales, frequently in reaction to Pisa, we have seen knee jerk reactions which have actually hindered educational progress.
"Indeed the OECD itself has criticised the Welsh Government in the past for establishing and creating 'reform fatigue' in Wales.
"With the proposals around the new curriculum, new qualifications and potential changes to the way we train teachers and utilise the supply sector, there are already big reforms on the horizon which will have positive impacts."
Rex Philips, national officer for the NASUWT Wales accused the former education minister Leighton Andrews of turning the Pisa results of 2010 into a "disaster zone" for the Welsh Government.
"Huw Lewis attempted to repair the damage caused by his predecessor by acknowledging that moving to a curriculum fit for Pisa was going to take some time," he said.
He added Kirsty Williams "would do well to just note the Pisa outcomes and decide whether to continue in the quest for a curriculum fit for Pisa or stand up for a curriculum that is fit for purpose for Wales."
Rob Williams, director of policy for the head teachers' union, NAHT Cymru, said: "We would urge the Welsh Government to now stick to the current policy path for curriculum reform and investment in the profession.
"With the right level of committed resource, accountability that values progress and no additional initiatives on top of what school leaders are already contending with, children and young people of Wales will have the best opportunities to succeed."
Ywain Myfyr, policy officer with Welsh teaching union UCAC said although Pisa was an international measure it was still "a very narrow indicator" and the results needed to be put into context.
"We certainly shouldn't let them distract us from the crucial reforms that are already in progress," he said.
Rachel Curley acting director of ATL Cymru, said: "This is not the time for hand wringing or panic in response to the Pisa results. It would have been naive to expect major improvements since the last set of results four years ago".
Tim Pratt, director of the Association of School and College Leaders Cymru said it was "far from the doomsday scenario expected".
"While Wales may not have gone rocketing up the rankings, it has also not slipped far behind. A rise in the maths scores has offset a slight fall in science and reading. Some other nations have fared far worse."
BUSINESS
Neil Carberry, CBI director for people and skills policy said the drop in performance in Wales was a concern.
"The most effective response to today's findings is focusing on what works across reading, mathematics and science - high-quality school leadership and great teachers delivering an engaging curriculum which includes strong basic skills, attitudes and behaviours that can equip young people to succeed," he said.
"In recent years, the Welsh Government has made big efforts to turn this around - business supports these efforts, and today's results show that the government must continue its focus on delivery."
The 18-year-old was attacked in Dallas Chicken in Brixton by three masked men armed with knives and belts.
He was stabbed four times and needed an operation on his abdomen following the assault on 2 January.
One man was later arrested on suspicion of possession of a knife and the Met has released CCTV to help find four other suspects.
The footage shows at least three men whipping, punching and kicking several people.
One of the attackers can then be seen drawing a knife and thrusting it forward while holding a mobile phone in his other hand.
The teenager was hit in the face with a belt then stabbed several times by one of the suspects.
When he fell to the floor one of the suspects stabbed him again before kicking him in the head.
He has since been discharged from hospital but requires further surgery.
Det Con Remy Smith said: "This is a shocking and brutal assault that has left the victim very distressed from his ordeal. "
Scottish Labour and the Lib Dems both highlighted the issue at regional conferences in Inverness.
The government wants to create a new Scotland-wide enterprise board which would oversee management of HIE.
MSPs voted to "reverse" this plan for HIE, and the government has pledged to "reflect carefully" on that.
The proposals, based on a recent education and skills review, would see a new statutory board to co-ordinate the activities of groups including Scottish Enterprise, HIE, Scottish Development International, Skills Development Scotland and the Scottish Funding Council.
Opposition members have claimed this would be the "death knell" for the organisation as it stands, and evidence of an SNP "obsession with centralisation".
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told MSPs that "even the proposals as they are at this stage would see HIE retaining its chief executive, based in Inverness; retaining its headquarters, based in Inverness; retaining control of all staffing levels; and continuing to operate from its headquarters in Inverness."
HIE supports businesses and promotes economic growth in the Northern Isles, Western Isles, Highlands, Moray and Argyll.
It began as the Highlands and Islands Development Board 50 years ago, becoming HIE in 1990. The CairnGorm Mountain ski resort and its funicular railway is among the assets it manages.
Opposition MSPs united behind a Holyrood motion saying the government should "reverse" its plans and allow the group to retain its own board.
Speaking at Labour's Highlands and Islands conference, leader Kezia Dugdale said "I give this warning to the first minister today.
"The establishment of a development agency in the Highlands, run by people who live and work here, with decisions taken here, is a day marked in Scotland's history.
"Any attempt to roll back this progress will be remembered here as the day the SNP gave up its claim to speak for all of our nation. And as the day the SNP's representatives here betrayed the people they claim to represent.
"That is why it was so important that the Scottish Parliament voted against the government to make absolutely clear that we would not stand for this."
She added: "Nicola Sturgeon is quick to use the will of parliament when it suits her own argument. On this issue, she must now set her pride aside and listen to the people's representatives in parliament who have said this decision should not stand."
Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie, also convening a regional conference in Inverness, said the move would hit the SNP's chances in local government elections in the area.
He said: "The proposals would have diluted the ability of HIE to effectively support local businesses and communities.
"The Scottish parliament rightly voted against such a move but we are yet to see a proper response from the Scottish government.
"Despite the outcry from local constituents, SNP MSPs decided to put their party first and it will be local SNP councillors that will pay the price in the upcoming council elections in May. Local residents are becoming fed up of having an SNP cheerleader for a councillor who will stand by their party come what may."
The changes have been defended by current HIE chairman Lorne Crerar, who insisted the group would not be "in any way diminished" by them.
Following the vote, Economy Secretary Keith Brown said he was "committed to the services and support that HIE provides", adding that he would "meet with MSPs from across the chamber in order to discuss the way forward".
He said: "I believe that everyone shares a commitment to HIE and to retaining its key role in the future. We are actively engaging with all four enterprise and skills agencies, their existing boards and other experts in developing the detailed scope, potential structures and functions for the new board.
"That is why I will listen carefully to and work closely with them and MSPs from across the chamber to explore constructive ideas about how we can deliver better economic and social outcomes for the highlands and islands and for all of Scotland."
They fear the changes "signal a retreat" in government plans to move towards localised renewable energy.
This week, the High Court ruled that a plan to halve subsidies for solar panels was "legally flawed", and MPs' committees said it was "panicky".
The church and the charity want a UK target for community energy.
Both organisations have tried to take a leadership role in developing community energy schemes.
They believe this type of project is being unfairly penalised by proposed changes to the feed-in tariff (FiT), the scheme that pays householders and communities a subsidy for producing solar electricity.
Their letter, to Climate Change Minister Greg Barker, is also signed by think-tank Forum for the Future and charitable consultants Carbon Leapfrog.
"I don't think anyone could argue with the fact that the way FiTs were set up created a bit of a market bubble, and economies had to be made," said Patrick Begg, the National Trust's director of rural enterprises.
"But the way the government has chosen to change the models has really shaken confidence - and it's very difficult to be certain that when commitments are made about support for renewables, they're going to stick," he told BBC News.
The letter contrasts the "sudden lurches" in policy and support that the UK has seen with the long-term stability that underpins the success of community-scale solar electricity in Germany.
"Twenty years of solid support has led to 18% of [Germany's] national energy supply now coming from renewable sources, with 45% of schemes owned by co-operatives and farmers," it reads.
"In the UK, this is just 1.5%."
The organisations are urging the government to establish and maintain higher FiTs for community schemes.
The National Trust has about 150 renewable energy projects across the properties it owns, and has set a target of supplying half of its energy needs through renewables by 2020.
It is particularly concerned that in villages it owns, where communities have come together on insulation projects, enthusiasm for extending into solar power has rapidly waned.
The Church of England, meanwhile, says that about 300 churches have so far invested in solar energy, many spurred by the FiTs.
"It's not always straightforward, but a lot of churches thought it was a good opportunity to get involved, to be a good example to the local community," said David Shreeve, environmental adviser to the CoE's Archbishops' Council.
"The changes could affect the financial implications for churches going ahead."
The extent of support for household and community FiTs is currently unclear, with the government having said it would challenge Wednesday's High Court ruling.
It was planning to drop the subsidy from 43p per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to 21p from 12 December. The cut will probably come, but at a later date.
A consultation on other changes closes today.
Among other things, it proposes toughening the criteria on home insulation necessary to qualify for FiTs - a move that was described on Thursday, in a joint report from the Environmental Audit Committee and the Energy and Climate Change Committee, as likely to deal a "fatal blow" to the UK's domestic solar power industry.
Meanwhile, a report from consultants Cambridge Modelling predicts that the changes to FiTs mean it will take longer for solar systems to become competitive with electricity supplied from the national grid.
"In the absence of the changes, small solar photovoltaic installations are set to achieve grid parity by 2019," said Mark Hughes, the organisation's director.
"The changes to the scheme will delay grid parity and extend the need for feed-in tariff support by approximately three years."
Critics have said the cut in solar power support undermines the coalition's claim to be the "greenest ever government".
Mr Begg agreed that it does raise the question.
"The government set out quite a good agenda; and this kind of thing does start to shake our confidence that they are going to make good on their agenda," he said.
In a recent YouGov opinion survey, solar emerged as the UK's most popular energy technology, with 74% of respondents wanting the government to increase the amount in use.
The figure for wind was 56%. Only 16% wanted the use of coal to increase, while 43% preferred a reduction.

Police received a report on Tuesday that a woman had been dragged into a car park and raped between 03:10 and 03:15 GMT that morning in Warwick Road in Trafford.
Samaun Shah, 43, of Hornby Road, Stretford has been charged with rape, Greater Manchester Police said.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on Monday.
A glass jar containing brown paint was smashed over the monument at White Brae, Ligoniel, on the outskirts of north Belfast.
The damage was discovered at 12:30 BST on Sunday 3 May.
The monument has been repeatedly targeted and damaged since it was put up five years ago.
It is a tribute to teenage brothers John and Joseph McCaig, and their colleague Dougald McCaughey.
The off-duty fusiliers were shot dead at the site by the IRA in March 1971.
The memorial was built using funds raised by the Royal British Legion.
Police have appealed to anyone with information about the attack to contact them.
Not usually, it must be admitted, a cause for too much celebration. "Train arrives on Sunday" is not much of a headline.
But yesterday was a little different for New Street Station, Britain's busiest outside London.
After a five year, £750m overhaul, Network Rail unveiled the new interchange which now looks more like an airport.
And for those who are keenly hunting for evidence that the UK economy is finally rebalancing away from the hothouse that is London and the South East of England, it was an important moment.
Infrastructure investment is directly linked to economic redevelopment. Just ask those around King's Cross and St Pancras stations in London.
Birmingham's cheer leaders believe New Street will be no different.
Later this week, the new Grand Central shopping centre will open above New Street, one of the largest shopping centres to be unveiled in Europe this year.
The anchor tenant is John Lewis, whose managing director, Andy Street, is also head of the Birmingham and Solihull enterprise partnership.
He says that Birmingham and the West Midlands have turned the corner since the 2008 recession, which saw the region the hardest hit across Britain.
New figures on economic output appear to back him up.
As does the arrival of HSBC's UK bank headquarters - which will open in Britain's second largest city in 2018.
And the continued expansion of Midlands car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover which has invested £11bn since 2008 and employs 36,000 people.
"Gross value added" per head is the economic value of the goods and services produced in an area, divided by the total population.
It reveals how well an area is performing economically.
Figures from the Office of National Statistics reveal that in 2008-9, GVA in the West Midlands (which includes Birmingham) fell by 3.8%, the most rapid fall of any region in Britain.
The average across England was -2.2%.
The most recent figures available - for the year 2012-13 - reveal a changed picture. West Midlands GVA grew by 2.8%.
That's higher than the England average (2.6%), London (also 2.6%) and the South East (2%).
In terms of rebalancing the British economy geographically, the figures show progress. The North East, North West, West Midlands and Wales all grew faster than London - although of course from a much lower base.
As with all urban areas, there is still a long way to go.
Don't forget, Birmingham was the first location for the documentary series Benefits Street, which revealed the sometimes stark reality of life for those dependent on welfare benefits in Winson Green, a deprived area of the city.
And if the economic figures are studied over a 15 year time frame, a more mixed picture emerges.
A Deloitte report for the local enterprise partnership says that between 2001 and 2015, the West Midlands saw 152,000 net jobs created (that's the surplus of jobs created over jobs lost).
That's fewer than in the East Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, the North West, the South East and Scotland.
London, which has a much larger population, enjoyed a far higher number of jobs created - 870,000.
The South East ran it a close second with 845,000.
For the West Midlands the new jobs delivered £6.1bn of fresh wage income, undoubtedly an economic shot in the arm.
But that compares to £30.9bn in the South East, £30.1bn in London, £10.6bn in Scotland and £8.3bn in the East Midlands.
And shows the difficulty of rebalancing the economy when you have such a large powerhouse sitting in the south-east corner.
Fresh income tends to flow towards it.
If we look at the GVA figures over the same 15 year period, the West Midlands saw a 16% increase.
That compares to Merseyside, up 39%, the South East, up 37%, and Wales, up 31%.
Of the nations and regions across Britain, only the North West saw a lower increase, up 14%.
Which shows, despite many positive figures, Birmingham and the surrounding region still have a lot of ground to make up.
And rebalancing the UK economy will be an awfully tough job.

The sanction followed his tirade at a Fed Cup tie in Bucharest in April.
He swore at an umpire, insulted British number one Johanna Konta and her captain Anne Keothavong and made a derogatory comment about Serena Williams' unborn child.
Nastase, 70, was also fined $10,000 (£7,700).
As it stands, as well as being prevented from taking any official roles, he will not be accredited for ITF events until 2019.
An independent tribunal will be arranged to hear his appeal.
Grand Slam tournaments are not included within the sanction, nor the respective ATP or WTA Tours, as they lie outside the jurisdiction of the ITF.
The ITF adjudication panel said his comment about Serena Williams' unborn child was racially insensitive, adding that he made advances of a "sexual nature" towards Keothavong.
Nastase said his comments were intended as a joke and had been misinterpreted.
WARNING: Some people may find the language below offensive
During the Fed Cup in April, Romanian player Simona Halep was answering a question in English about former world number one Williams and her pregnancy. Nastase then turned to one of his other team members and added in Romanian: "Let's see what colour it has. Chocolate with milk?"
Speaking to BBC Sport earlier in the year, he defended his comment, saying: "For me, it's not racial. Somebody in England thinks it is."
Former world number one Nastase also put his arm tightly around Keothavong and asked for her room number, in earshot of the watching media.
The following day before play had even started, Nastase insulted a British journalist over their reporting of his comments about Williams, calling the Press Association's tennis correspondent Eleanor Crooks "stupid".
Later, after Konta and Keothavong complained of calling out from the crowd in the World Group II play-off tie in Constanta, Nastase was involved in a discussion with officials in which he used foul and abusive language.
He then called both Konta and Keothavong "a bitch" multiple times, as well as swearing at them.
Nastase, who won the US Open in 1972 and the French Open the following year, has said he would quit tennis if he was banned.
Governor Jose Melo said Amazonas police were "at their physical and psychological limit" and federal troops should be sent as reinforcements.
State police struggled to contain the violence as rival gangs clashed.
Many jails in Brazil are overcrowded and underfunded.
Last week, Gov Melo asked the federal government for electronic tags, body scanners and devices to block mobile phone signals within the state's prisons.
But following Sunday's deadly clash in a prison in the city of Manaus, Governor Melo said he needed federal forces.
He said that police in Amazonas had worked flat out not just to secure the prisons where the riots had taken place, but also to try to capture scores of inmates who had escaped during the riots.
Since the start of the year:
The rioting also spread to neighbouring Roraima state, where 33 prisoners were killed in the Monte Cristo rural penitentiary on 6 January.
Officials say the spike in violence is due to the breakdown of a truce between two of Brazil's most powerful criminal gangs, First Capital Command (PCC) and Red Command (CV).
The PCC has its power base in the city of Sao Paulo, while Red Command is based in Rio de Janeiro - although the two gangs' influence extends much further.
For years, members of these gangs have been transferred to prisons in northern states in an attempt to break up their gang ties.
But these remote prisons are often poorly equipped and badly staffed making it hard for officers to contain a riot once it has started.
Raimundo Vidal Pessoa jail, where the latest riot happened, had been closed in October but was re-opened to house prisoners moved from the Anisio Jobim prison after a deadly riot there had left 56 dead.
Gov Melo said the problem was at a national level and urged the federal government to help devise a restructuring of the prison system.
Called Minecraft: Story Mode, it will be an episodic game set in the familiar Minecraft world but will introduce some new characters into the setting.
The game is being made by Telltale Games which has produced several other episodic titles.
The first episode is due to be released in 2015 on consoles, PCs, Macs and Android devices.
So far, little information about what it will be like have been released. Mojang has produced a short browser-based game called Info Quest II to explain what it might be like.
In a blogpost, Mojang said the game would be developed with the help of the Minecraft community.
It sought to reassure players that Story Mode would not be like the violent and bloody games Telltale has produced before now. Recent Telltale games include The Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderlands and titles based on Game of Thrones and zombie thriller The Walking Dead.
"Telltale's game will feel similar in tone to Minecraft itself," said Mojang, "though it's a totally original take inspired by our game."
The news about Story Mode comes soon after Mojang released a finished version of its Scrolls card-based magic battling game.
Sun Wenlin and Hu Mingliang filed a lawsuit against Changsha city authorities after their application to register a union was rejected.
In January a district court agreed to hear the case, a first in China.
China does not legally recognise same-sex marriage but there is growing awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.
On Wednesday, there were cheers for Mr Sun, 27, and Mr Hu, 37, when they entered the court, from hundreds of supporters who had gathered outside. Authorities allowed about 100 of them inside.
The court dismissed the case a few hours after the hearing started.
The entire case was argued and decided within a few short hours, and the judge was quick to reject China's first legal argument in favour of gay marriage. But many gay rights activists see reason for hope.
The fact the case was heard at all was reason for optimism - the plaintiffs and their lawyer were surprised when the Hunan court agreed to hold a hearing in January. The hearing itself was held in an unusually large courtroom, with uncharacteristically light security outside.
Few believe the Chinese courts are poised to issue dramatic decisions permitting same-sex marriage. But bit by bit, some cases are being won. In December 2014, a Beijing court awarded damages to a man who had suffered electric shock therapy meant to "cure" his homosexuality. Advertisements for the service were ordered to be removed from the internet.
The demand for gay rights is certainly part of the national conversation now in China. Just last week a mass social media campaign in which gay people pledged not to yield to pressure to marry straight people attracted more than 1.5 million views on Weibo.
China's legal courts are moving slowly, but the court of public opinion is still in session.
The couple's lawyer, Shi Funong, said he had expected the judgement to go against them but not so quickly.
"It goes against the spirit of the laws of the People's Republic of China," he said.
Mr Sun said he would appeal against Wednesday's court decision.
The two men had tried to register their union in June last year and filed the lawsuit in December.
Mr Sun said police had visited him after he filed the case to try to persuade him to drop it, but he refused.
"The original text of the Marriage Law does not say one man and one woman, but a husband and a wife," he said in an interview with state media in January. "I personally believe that this term refers not only to heterosexual couples but also to same-sex couples."

The 66-year-old Australian, who replaced Steve McNamara earlier this month, has a contract to lead England through to the 2017 World Cup.
Bennett, who is yet to announce his backroom team, told BBC Sport: "I am not going to stay as English coach for 20 years - that is not going to happen.
"I want to leave it with people who have a similar philosophy to me."
Bennett, who will combine the role with leading Brisbane Broncos in the National Rugby League, is not planning wholesale changes to the England set-up.
"I'm very conscious of the English game and England. I am not coming here to teach anyone how to suck eggs," he added.
"I want as much English involvement as I can. I am bringing two staff with me - one of them is an Englishman - and the other is involved in the tactical side. Everyone else will be English."
Former St Helens full-back Paul Wellens, who has taken up a player performance coaching role with Saints, was one of McNamara's backroom staff.
Bennett has remained a stony-faced touchline presence in Australia's NRL during a top-level career that has spanned 27 years, three different clubs and a record seven Grand Final victories.
He says his persona reflects one of the demands he will make of England's players.
"I might be smiling on the inside, I might be pretty twisted on the inside, but I am not there to please anyone else but myself," he said.
"I taught myself a long time ago to be extremely disciplined with my behaviour in the public spotlight and I expect my players to be the same."
Bennett said he would not shirk from the difficult decisions and disagreements that are inevitable when running a top team.
"I don't want them to dislike me, but you are dealing with people and there will always be issues because people take positions on things," he said.
"The bottom line is that if I have to make a hard decision for the benefit of the team and it upsets people, I'm fine with that."
Bennett's appointment means - with Eddie Jones in rugby union and Trevor Bayliss in cricket - Australians are in charge of three of England's major national teams.
Bennett believes work ethic and a willingness to share ideas across sport are one of the strengths of Australian coaching culture.
"There is one common denominator: we are a pretty committed bunch and to coach you have to be committed," he said.
"We share a lot of ideas between sports back home, it is not something we hold back on."
BBC Sport's Simon Stone:
Wayne Bennett's seven Grand Final wins make him the most decorated Australian coach ever. And his determination to succeed is not confined to the rugby field.
"My daughter has barred me from playing with my grandchildren," he said. "They want to win and so do I, so we get into fights. I can't help it. It is just who I am."
Bennett has no intention of reigning himself in.
"I don't want to stop myself," he said. "I want to do my best and I want to win, whether it is cards or whatever it is. I have been like that all my life.
"In fact I make people stay until I win at cards."

The Welsh are rightly proud of the stadium which has the cream of European club football battling to reach the Champions' League final there in June this year.
But Ireland's rugby players have little reason to fear Friday night's Six Nations match with Wales at the Principality Stadium - as a rugby nation they have the happy habit of winning there.
Irish teams have won three European Cup Finals and one Six Nations Grand Slam at the venue - all in the space of five years.
They've won the big prizes in green of Ireland, red of Munster and blue of Leinster and the Irish fans will will be back in Cardiff at the end of the week by the thousand and ready to party.
Wales haven't exactly been standing back in admiration of the Irish handiwork - on the contrary.
They beat Ireland to claim the first of the three Welsh Grand Slams of the 21st century, on St Patrick's Day weekend twelve years ago.
And thereby hangs a tale or two.
Wales won 32-20 and what made the occasion all the more memorable was the first Welsh try.
A collector's item if ever there was one because it featured a prop charging down a clearance from a fly-half - not any old fly-half, but one of the all-time greats.
Ronan O'Gara was the number ten and Gethin Jenkins the man who brought him to grief. Rarely can a prop have demonstrated such a nifty bit of footballing skills as Jenkins did that afternoon.
As O'Gara will tell you: a charge-down is an occupational hazard for fly-halves the world over but you never expect it to happen against a loose-head prop.
But Munsterman O'Gara would learn to love the arena - in those days known as the Millennium Stadium - as a home from home.
The following year he was back with Munster, helping them win the European Cup for the first time against Biarritz.
Two years later he and the red army, some 40,000 strong, won a second European title again at the expense of French opposition, this time Toulouse.
And when the Ireland national team came back in 2009 it was to win the ultimate prize in European international rugby, and one that had eluded them since 1948 - the Grand Slam.
Wales, in with a faint sniff of retaining their Six Nations title, led until O'Gara intervened with two minutes to go.
And even then Wales still had one last chance, a sniper's shot at ambushing the Irish slam.
Stephen Jones took aim from just inside his own half and when the ball came down in front of the crossbar those of us who wondered why Wales hadn't given the kick to Gavin Henson, the long-distance specialist, wondered all the more.
Instead all Ireland had to do was catch the ball and belt it into the crowd, Geordan Murphy duly obliged and, at long last, the slam was theirs.
Not everything though has gone swimmingly for the boys in green since then. They lost here six years ago to a try from Mike Phillips which ought not to have been allowed.

The laws state that a quick throw can only be taken when using the same ball that has been kicked out.
Wales used a different ball and the subsequent confusion between the Scottish touch judge and the South African referee left Ireland's two five-star generals, Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell, apoplectic with rage.
They had good reason because the seven points it cost them made all the difference.
As for this time, expect to see the fur flying all over the place as per usual.
They may be Celts but there's been no love lost between these two and no reason to believe that peace is about to break out any time soon.
Matthew Gordon was asked by Bristol Crown Court prosecutors if he was at fault for the dangerous condition of the brakes, for not having a transport manager - a legal requirement - and ultimately the crash.
He conceded partial blame, but said he had done the best he could.
Mr Gordon, 30, of Dauntsey, Wiltshire, denies 14 charges against him.
The owner of Grittenham Haulage, he is defending himself following the crash on Lansdown Lane on 9 February last year.
The court heard he did not call the emergency services after the crash and failed to tell a policeman at the scene that he owned the truck.
He said it had been a "mistake" and denied it was because he was worried about the condition of the lorry's brakes.
The jury also heard that in the days before the crash Mr Gordon had sent a text message to his partner describing the driver of the lorry, Phillip Potter, as "slow".
Mr Potter, 20, also of Dauntsey, denies causing the deaths by dangerous and careless driving. He is also charged with causing serious injuries to Karla Brennan and Margaret Rogers - the grandmother of four-year-old victim Mitzi Steady - by dangerous driving.
He denies a total of 10 charges against him.
Peter Wood, 55, from Brinkworth, Wiltshire, a mechanic who carried out safety checks on the truck, denies four charges against him.
In addition to Mitzi, from Bath, who was one of was one of several pedestrians hit by the lorry, Robert Parker, 59, Philip Allen, 52, and Stephen Vaughan, 34, all died in the crash in 2015.
Mr Allen and Mr Vaughan, both from Swansea, and Mr Parker, from Cwmbran, south Wales, were in a car hit by the vehicle.
The trial continues.
Experts from Queensland in Australia had been trying to identify this specific gecko for the last five years.
The gecko, which they named Diplodactylus ameyi, has a distinctive fat tail and a rounded snout.
It is brown with pale spots, which means it is well camouflaged for the dry, hot environment where it lives.
During the day it hides in abandoned spider burrows to keep cool.
Real won their last 12 league games, but Barca ended with five victories in a row after a blip in April saw their lead over Real closed from 10 points.
"We're all disappointed, but with 38 matchdays played, we can't change anything now," said Zidane, who has won 21 of his 26 games in charge.
"Barcelona deserved to win La Liga."
Luis Enrique, who has won the title in both his seasons in charge of Barcelona, agreed with his rival.
"It was a deserved title which shows that the team knows how to bounce back from a bad spell.
"We played very well over the full season, we were on top of the table for many weeks and the most consistent team wins the title."
Captain Andres Iniesta has now won eight La Liga titles, a third of Barcelona's total league championships. Barca have won six of the last eight titles - including two in a row.
"La Liga is glorious," the Spain midfielder said. "It is the competition of stability, the one we are able to win year after year. Whenever you win the league, it is a great season."
Defender Gerard Pique said: "This is a historic time for the club. This is a unique generation of footballers with loads of talent and who are achieving things that have never been done before.
"We had a negative run that meant we had to fight right to the last, but we got our prize in the end."
Both sides have a cup final yet to play. Barca face Sevilla in next Sunday's Copa del Rey final, while Real face city rivals Atletico in the Champions League final on Saturday, 28 May.
Net income was $3.98bn, up from $2.74bn for the same quarter last year.
Google's revenue was $18.7 (£12.1bn) compared with $16.5bn.
Growth came mainly from mobile searches and YouTube users.
In August, the company created Alphabet as the new parent company of Google and its other diverse businesses.
In January, Alphabet will report Google's financial numbers separately from the other businesses, which include experiments with self-driving cars, investing in startups, making Internet-connected thermostats and searching for cures to health problems.
The break out of Google's figures are expected to reveal how much money Google would have made if it had not diverted money into chief executive Larry Page's so-called ``moon shots".
Alphabet shares were up 11% to $722.53 in after hours trading - a record, boosted by news of a large share buyback, which will means fewer investors in future who will therefore take a higher portion of any dividend payout.
YouTube announced on Thursday a plan to offer a monthly commercial free subscription service that will compete with Netflix and Amazon prime.
The company's board approved a plan to buy back a precise $5,099,019,513.59 in shares starting in the fourth quarter.
There has been speculation the number represented the square root of 26 - the number of letters in the alphabet.
Chief financial officer Ruth Porat acknowledged that was indeed the reference during a post-results conference.
The Long March 5 lifted off from the Wenchang space centre in Hainan Province at 20:43 local time (12:43 GMT).
It was carrying an experimental satellite, known as Shijian-17.
The Long March 5 gives China the capability to orbit the heaviest of payloads - such as big telecoms spacecraft and sections of its future astronaut space station.
The specifications suggest it can put about 25 tonnes in a low-Earth orbit (LEO), an altitude of a few hundred km; and up to 14 tonnes in a geostationary orbit some 36,000km above the planet.
This puts the Long March 5 in the same class as America’s current, most powerful rocket - the Delta-IV Heavy.
US companies SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing vehicles that should be able to put 50-plus tonnes in LEO.
The American space agency (Nasa) is also nearing the first flight of its Space Launch System, a monster rocket that will eventually be capable of placing 130 tonnes in low-Earth orbit.
Nasa say it will use this launcher to send astronauts to Mars. Its maiden flight is set for 2018.
A spokesman for the interim President, Michel Temer, said she would have been placed in the stand below him and not at his side.
Her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has also refused the invitation despite being instrumental in Rio's winning bid to host the games.
Both have said they are being politically persecuted by Mr Temer's party and allies.
Ms Rousseff faces possible removal from office if she loses an impeachment trial shortly after the games and Lula is facing corruption allegations, which he denies.
What went wrong for Rousseff?
Who is Michel Temer?
What has gone wrong with Brazil?
Another former President, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, has also said he will not attend the ceremony.
Ms Rousseff has said that she believes she should be at the ceremony alongside Lula.
She told Radio France International on Monday that her government and Lula's had done most of the work to win the Olympics for Rio de Janeiro and find the financing to build the infrastructure for the global sports event.
Diplomats have said the presence of both Michel Temer and Dilma Rousseff at the ceremony would have been awkward for foreign dignitaries.
GHD - "Good Hair Day" - was founded by three entrepreneurs in Bradford in 2001 for £15,000.
Since then its ceramic straightening irons and hairdryers have become popular with stylists and celebrities.
US firm Coty is acquiring the business, where it will sit alongside global hair care brands such as Wella and Clairol.
The deal comes weeks after Coty became the world's third-largest beauty firm following a $12.5bn (£10.3bn) takeover of Procter & Gamble's perfume, hair care and make up businesses.
Lyndon Lea, a partner at Lion Capital, which bought GHD for about £300m in 2013, said: "We are pleased to be selling GHD to Coty, a global leader in the beauty category, where it can take its rightful place among Coty's unique family of beauty brands."
GHD is headquartered in London and has commercial operations in the UK, Australia, US and Europe.
It reported sales of £178m last year and is understood to have made pre-tax profits of £33m.
Shares in Coty rose 0.5% to $23.43 in New York on Monday, but have fallen almost 18% over the past 12 months.
Danielle Cassin, 27, told relatives Levi-Blu Cassin had been unresponsive and not breathing on the morning of his death in February 2013.
Birmingham Crown Court previously heard Levi had died from internal bleeding caused as a result of violence.
His parents Ms Cassin and Mark Piper, 31, deny murder.
Danielle Cassin's half-sister, Kirsty Cassin, told the court they met at hospital after Levi was pronounced dead.
Danielle Cassin told her she had gone to check on Levi and found he was "not breathing and cold to the touch".
Kirsty Cassin also told the jury her half-sister was known to use heroin.
Her behaviour became "erratic" after the defendant rekindled her relationship with co-accused Mr Piper in October 2012, she said.
The court heard police were called in January 2013 after a neighbour witnessed Mr Piper hit Danielle Cassin.
Daniel Cleal, who lived nearby in Chelmsley Wood, West Midlands, said he saw them arguing in their kitchen, a bedroom and the living room.
He said he saw Mr Piper put his hands around Danielle Cassin's neck.
"I saw [him] punch Danielle and she fell to the floor," he said.
Mr Cleal, who said he only knew both defendants by sight, told the court he did not know if Levi had been present during the argument.
Danielle Cassin and Mr Piper, of Nightingale Avenue, Chelmsley Wood, also deny causing or allowing the death of a child, assault, neglect, abandoning a child and causing unnecessary suffering to a child.
The trial continues.
Astley's 50 gave the singer his first UK number one for almost 30 years.
It will compete for the BBC Radio 2 album of the year award with Adele's 25, Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams, ELO's Alone in the Universe and Michael Kiwanuka's Love & Hate.
But there is no place on the shortlist for David Bowie's Blackstar, which came out days before his death in January.
The nominees were chosen by the Radio 2 playlist committee.
The winner will be announced at the BBC Music Awards on 12 December. The shortlists for other categories, including BBC Music British artist of the year and song of the year, will be announced shortly.
Bowie was nominated for British artist of the year at the inaugural BBC Music Awards in 2014, but lost out to Ed Sheeran.
Rick Astley has enjoyed a successful comeback this year, but if he wins the BBC Music Award it will be far from his first taste of awards glory.
In his first flush of fame in 1988, he won best single at the Brit Awards - as well as worst dressed person in the Smash Hits Readers' Poll.
And, more improbably, at the height of the Rickrolling phenomenon he was voted the best act ever at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2008.
To be eligible for the BBC Music Award, albums must have been released between 17 October 2015 and 16 October 2016.

Nokia took over health tech firm Withings in 2016 and recently replaced the Withings Health Mate app with a Nokia-branded version.
Health Mate has been downloaded more than one million times from app stores.
But many users have left one-star reviews, saying the new app removed popular features from the Withings version and had technical issues
The company told the BBC an update would "integrate missing features".
Before being taken over by Nokia, Withings made internet-connected health products such as weighing scales and air quality monitors, which provided data for the Health Mate app.
"Nokia took over and totally trashed the Withings app in one swoop," one user, Tony, told the BBC.
"The first release of the app was so full of bugs it was incredible. Their new app is appalling and everyone wants the old one back, which we loved.
"They've decimated our investment in quite expensive Withings products."
A set of smart scales currently retails in the UK for £90 ($116 in the US), direct from Nokia.
Negative reviews on app stores claim a number of issues, including:
"[The] previous app from Withings had long-term charts and much more," wrote one reviewer called Pander.
"This version is a huge degradation in functionality. This is not why I bought this smart scale."
Nokia told the BBC the Withings Health Mate app had been replaced as part of a transition of Withings products "to the Nokia brand".
"Regrettably, a few users faced bugs and syncing issues, others were frustrated to find some features from the previous version were not included," it said.
"We released an update which corrects many of the issues. Very soon we will have another update to integrate the few missing features.
"We will not be satisfied until the final issues have been addressed to deliver the quality user experience consumers have come to expect from Nokia products."
The social media giant's chief operating officer called for a higher minimum wage, paid family leave and affordable childcare.
Some 40% of US households with children rely on a woman as the key breadwinner, she said in a Facebook post.
"It's time for our public policies to catch up with what our families deserve and what our values demand," she said.
Ms Sandberg, an influential voice in corporate America, is one of the wealthiest American women with a net worth estimated at $1.38bn.
She wrote on Sunday that the US government and employers must do more to help parents, especially single mothers, who are struggling to provide for their children while assuring their safety and well-being.
The widowed mother of two said: "We all have a responsibility to help mothers as well as fathers balance their responsibilities at work and home."
One of the most important actions the government could take is to help millions of families living near the poverty line by raising the federal minimum wage, she said.
"Childcare for two children exceeds the median annual rent in all 50 states. How are parents supposed to work if they don't have a safe and affordable place to leave their kids?"
She continued: "We need paid leave. The United States is one of the only developed countries in the world that doesn't guarantee paid family leave - and we're the only developed country in the world without paid maternity leave.
"That means many moms are forced to return to work right after giving birth to keep their jobs."
She concluded: "I hope we can also use this day to commit to do more for all the mothers who have given so much and deserve even more."
Ms Sandberg's message was accompanied by a picture of her with her mother and mother-in-law on the day of her wedding to former SurveyMonkey chief executive Dave Goldberg, who died in 2015.
In her book Lean In, she encouraged women to be more ambitious in the workplace. Following Mr Goldberg's death, she co-wrote the book Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience and Finding Joy that was published this year.
President Donald Trump's daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump has publicly stated her support for paid maternity leave. However, Republicans have resisted proposals to raise such benefits, including increasing the national minimum wage.
Many of the main outlets are state-owned, including two major TV stations, radio networks operated by the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC), and newspapers in Sinhala, Tamil and English.
There are more than a dozen private radios, and a handful of privately-run TV stations. Sri Lanka's privately-owned press and broadcasters often engage in political debate, and criticise government policies.
At the height of the civil war Sri Lanka was described as one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists.
The state of emergency imposed at the beginning of the conflict was lifted in 2011, but Reporters Without Borders says that murders, threats and censorship continue, with top officials "directly implicated" in serious press freedom violations.
The government is particularly sensitive to accusations of human rights abuses in the closing phases of the civil war and subsequently. In 2012, a minister said "mudslinging" would not be tolerated.
In April 2013, Amnesty International said that Sri Lanka was still violently suppressing dissent and that journalists were among the targets of "government-sanctioned abuse".
BBC World Service is carried by the SLBC under an agreement between the broadcasters.
There were some 5.7 million internet users by December 2014 (Internetworldstats.com). The web is a popular and growing medium for news.
The government has stepped up online censorship, blocking access to some independent news websites, reports US-based Freedom House.
Aberystwyth University's Prof Neil Glasser spent nearly two months in 2011 working in the area around James Ross Island where the glacier was found.
The UK's Antarctic Place-Names Committee said its decision reflected Prof Glasser's contribution to polar science.
The ice sheet on the island will now be called the Glasser Glacier.
The new name will be added to the British Antarctic Territory Gazetteer and is available for use on all maps and charts and in all publications.
The glacier stretches for 1.5km and is 500m across (0.9 miles and 1,600ft across).
Professor Glasser said: "I am really honoured to have this glacier named after me. We spent seven weeks on fieldwork in this area of Antarctica in 2011.
"On all our maps and publications it is called 'un-named glacier' but it is great to know that from now on it will be known as Glasser Glacier."
Mr Kerry is the most senior American official to attend the talks since President Obama went to Copenhagen in 2009 - an event that didn't end particularly well.
The Secretary of State has long been the most engaged American politician on the issue of climate and environment and his attendance at these UN negotiations is being seen as further evidence that the US is determined to make up for the failures of Copenhagen in 2009 and deliver a strong agreement in Paris next year.
For once, the US is not being seen as the Great Satan of CO2.
Thanks to their joint initiative with China, the two countries are taking a bow as leaders of the fight against rising temperatures.
The change in atmosphere could be seen on the poker face of US special climate envoy Todd Stern, who in recent days has been a veritable ray of sunshine.
The way he sees it, the deal that is being negotiated here - and will likely be signed in Paris - is a truly historic event.
"We are trying to do an agreement that is intended to last for decades. This is supposed to be not an agreement that we come back and renegotiate every five years, but an agreement that establishes a stable and durable structure."
Here in Lima, the parties are trying to get the "elements" of a deal together, which essentially means a chunky negotiating text with plenty of options still on the table.
One of the ideas that's getting a lot of attention from environmental activists is the aim to have zero emissions by 2050.
This item is still alive in the draft text and has support from a large number of developing countries. Green groups believe that the politicians are heeding the message from the streets.
"The public call for 100% clean energy has gone mainstream, and finally leaders are starting to respond with ambitious targets," said Iain Keith from Avaaz.
But the idea is not popular with the boys from the black stuff, the countries who make their living from oil and coal.
"The zero-emissions concept - or let's knock fossils fuels out of the picture without clear technology diffusion and solid international cooperation programmes - does not help the process," said Saudi Arabia's chief negotiator in Lima, Khalid Abuleif.
"I do not think this is realistic when two billion people do not have access to energy," he added, a tad sniffily.
While arguments about the long term goal are unlikely to be settled by Mr Kerry, his presence might increase the pressure on the countries that are dragging their heels on their commitments.
India has been noticeably silent on the idea that it might peak its emissions at a specified date in the future.
The Indians are said to be feeling a bit bruised after their great ally, China, seems to have sided with the US.
Perhaps they are waiting for the kind of in-depth love and attention the US lavished on China to get them to move forward?
Don't hold your breath says Mr Stern.
"We don't have that kind of process going on with India," he told reporters.
Another challenge for Mr Kerry will be the need to try and usher some recalcitrant countries to join the party - especially Australia.
The Lucky Country has been vilified here for its stance on climate change.
"Since the Abbott government came in, it has replaced Australia's comprehensive climate legislation with a regime where emissions are now set to increase substantially, against decreasing trends in the US," said Bill Hare, from the Climate Analytics think-tank.
"Many in the government are denying the yeti-scale footprint of climate change impacts being felt by people from one end of the country to the other."
The Australians have surprised many attendees by making a $160m contribution to the Green Climate Fund.
According to foreign minister Julie Bishop, it was part of Australia's "commitment to play our part in the global response to climate change".
But money doesn't seem to buy friends here in Lima. Green groups have given the country their mocking "fossil of the day" award several times during this conference of the parties.
Mr Kerry will have his work cut out.

The swan has reportedly attacked river users on a number of occasions.
The Conservators of the River Cam, who manage the waterway, confirmed they had met the criteria set by Natural England to legally move the bird and his mate.
If approved, the pair will be taken to a site more than 50 miles away and outside the county before the spring nesting season begins.
Dr Philippa Noon, of the conservators, said: "We have on-going concerns for the safety of river users, especially those in small vessels such as kayaks and canoes.
"A suitable receptor site has now been found and we have located a 'competent person' capable of overseeing the move."
Suitable sites need to be more than 50 miles away from the birds' original territory to prevent them finding their way back.
Steve Austin, whose house backs onto the River Cam close to the swan's territory, said he and other residents would be sad to see Mr Asbo go.
"He's never been any trouble to us and I look after him in my garden when busy rowing races take place," he said.
"If I'm perfectly honest, though, it would be for the best. He has five or six cygnets each year and some of them will be killed by the rowers' oars.
"It's not really anyone's fault but they are just babies and they can be pretty stupid."
The application to move Mr Asbo and his mate must be approved before the pair begin to nest, after which it is illegal to move swans.
The poll of more than 900,000 patients found that, in the last two years, the proportion saying it was not easy to get through on the phone rose from 18% to 24%.
When they did get through 11% were unable to get an appointment, the Ipsos MORI poll for NHS England showed.
But overall 75% rated the experience of making an appointment as good.
When they did get to see a doctor, or for some a practice nurse, 86% said their overall experience was good.
It comes after the British Medical Association (BMA) warned last week that patients would face longer waits to see a GP because of a shortage of doctors and squeeze on funding.
Speaking at the BMA's annual conference, BMA GP leader, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, said waits of one or two weeks would "become the norm".
This survey does not measure that, but it does show that access is becoming a problem for a growing minority.
As well as 11% not being able to make an appointment, 8% of those getting an appointment felt it was at an inconvenient time.
When asked about out-of-hours care, which most GPs opt out of providing themselves, two-thirds rated it as good with 17% saying it was poor - up from 13% two years ago.

There are almost daily reminders of the pressures on general practice.
A Health Select Committee report, covering England, says more than half of a GP's consulting time is taken up with patients with long-term conditions such as diabetes and arthritis.
Some doctors complain of a struggle to keep up with the workload generated by a growing population and rising demand for services.
Now more than 900,000 patients have had their say through the NHS England GP Patient survey.
The overall degree of satisfaction remains high at around 85%. But all the main indicators show a decline in approval ratings, sometimes 5% over two years.
Access by phone to surgeries and experiences of out-of-hours services are areas where there is a significant minority of unhappy patients.
Ministers point out they have made more money available for general practice through the Prime Minister's Challenge Fund.
But there are increasing question marks over the ability of the primary care system to cope with the demands placed on it.
GPs argue the problem is caused by rising demands not being matched with by a corresponding rise in resources.
The number of annual consultations carried out by general practice has risen by 40 million since 2008, hitting 340 million at the last count.
Meanwhile, figures from the Royal College of GPs (RCGP) show the amount spent on practices has fallen by £400m in real terms over the last three years.
In 2012-13, £8.5bn was invested in general practice, when everything from spending on pay, IT, tests and drugs was taken into account, the RCGP research found.
That compared with £8.3bn in 2009-10, which is the equivalent of £8.9bn in 2012-13 prices.
The Department of Health has already recognised access to GPs is an issue.
It has launched a £50m Challenge Fund to extend opening hours and make greater use of technologies such as Skype and email.
More than 1,100 practices - one in eight of those in England - have signed up.
Dr David Geddes, from NHS England, said: "Overall, these results show that the majority of patients are positive about their GP services, which is testament to the hard work of GPs and their staff.
"But we need to recognise the continuing trend in what patients are telling us about access to services."
However, Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham warned: "It is getting harder and harder to get a GP appointment under David Cameron.
"The next Labour Government will invest £100m to help patients to get appointments within 48 hours or on the same day for those who need it."
Dr Richard Vautrey, of the British Medical Association, said the overall satisfaction results were "remarkable" considering the workload pressures GPs were under.
He added: "It is a concern that the results show signs of slipping backwards. The government must heed these early warning signs, together with the recent falling GP recruitment figures, and urgently invest in general practice."
Connor Tremble, 17, who was autistic, was stabbed 15 times in Oxford by a love rival on 13 February 2014.
The ceremony was held at Shanklin United Reformed Church on the Isle of Wight, where Connor's mother Lisa Tremble now lives.
Reverend Brian Harley said the family "wanted to come together, remember and give thanks for the good things".
He said: "I think it's always difficult when we're dealing with a tragic death.
"Obviously in Connor's case when there is a murder as well it just adds to the sense of grief and anger."
He added: "It's nice that the family a year on want to pause and remember and give thanks as well as try to make sense of the tragic loss they are suffering."
Mrs Tremble and Connor's two sisters took part in the service, during which poems were read out, music performed and a video tribute played by one of Connor's friends.
Will Blencowe, 21, was jailed for life in August after a jury found him guilty of murdering Connor.
Blencowe, of Oxford Road, Banbury, was the ex-boyfriend of Mr Tremble's girlfriend, Aimee Harrison.
On 13 February, he took a taxi to Mr Tremble's home in Faircares Road, Oxford, before repeatedly stabbing him after learning he was seeing Ms Harrison.
Mr Tremble died two days later in hospital.
Playing in only his 13th first-class match, Curran's mid-afternoon burst of three for two in 18 balls left the home side rocking.
Replying to Surrey's 252, the Bears made 247 after a 95-run stand from Keith Barker (62) and Ian Bell (43).
Having led by five runs after the first innings, Surrey then closed on 33-1.
Warwickshire had begun the afternoon decently placed at 91-3, but Curran had Laurie Evans and Tim Ambrose superbly caught by Rory Burns in the gully before trapping Surrey old boy Rikki Clarke lbw with a swinging yorker.
Former Bears skipper Ian Westwood, on his recall as opener after being dropped following early season struggles, went just four runs short of a first Championship half-century.
After adding 40 in 15 overs with Jonathan Trott, both fell in the space of nine balls from Stuart Meaker.
Warwickshire all-rounder Keith Barker told BBC WM:
"The game is in the balance. We have managed to get ourselves back in the game. It would have been better if we had been able to go past them but it is going to be a big day for us tomorrow.
"There are runs to be scored there. You have just got to stay out there long enough for the bad balls to come. It may take a while but you have got to latch on to them if you get the chance.
"There is still a bit of movement in the pitch and we have just got to squeeze them tomorrow and put them under pressure. The pitch might deteriorate a little bit so that will give Jeets something to work with.
"It is effectively a one-innings game so if we can get some wickets tomorrow it will change the game massively."
Surrey bowling coach Stuart Barnes told BBC London 94.9:
"We took 10 wickets in 78 overs, which was the goal at the start of the day. We were not 100 per cent happy with the first session, but we put it right.
"Sam Curran fully deserved his five wickets on the back of a really good first spell, which he followed up with a great second spell after lunch.
"We talked about using the wicket and surface, which has been offering a bit of nip and we were able to swing the ball all day, which helped."
Brig Gen Chris Olukolade told the BBC the aim was to assert Nigeria's "territorial integrity as a nation".
Earlier, a 24-hour curfew was imposed in parts of the city of Maiduguri, where the military said it had arrested 65 "terrorists".
Maiduguri has been an important base for Boko Haram Islamist militants.
Earlier this week, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in three north-eastern states - Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe - after a series of deadly attacks by militant groups.
Boko Haram: From preachers to slave raiders
Nigerian military spokesman Brig Gen Olukolade said the army would continue its operation "as long as it takes to achieve our objective of getting rid of insurgents from every part of Nigeria".
He told the BBC World Service Newshour programme that the offensive "knows the targets it is after, and it took a long time to plan and prepare for this".
"It is their (insurgent) bases, their weaponry, their logistics that we are going to deal with in this operation," he added.
Earlier, an army statement named 12 areas of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, which would now be under permanent curfew.
Correspondents say the neighbourhoods listed are considered strongholds of Boko Haram. The whole of Maiduguri was already subject to an overnight curfew.
Witnesses said troops were stopping lorries from entering the city.
The army also said the 65 insurgents had been arrested trying to infiltrate Maiduguri. Those held had been "fleeing from various camps now under attack".
However, there has been no independent confirmation of the arrests.
The army said 10 suspected insurgents were killed in clashes with troops in Maiduguri on Friday and weapons were seized including rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
Nigerian war planes and helicopter gunships also attacked several militant training camps in the north-east on Friday, officials said.
One plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire but officials said it had returned to base safely while the "terrorist base" was "completely destroyed".
US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged the Nigerian army to show restraint and not violate human rights as it pursues the militants.
Mr Kerry said there were "credible allegations" of "gross human rights violations" by the Nigerian military.
Last November, Amnesty International accused Nigeria's security forces of carrying out widespread abuses in their campaign against Boko Haram, including extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances and torture.
The BBC has also received reports of civilians fleeing remote areas in Borno State and arriving in towns on the border with Cameroon.
Cameroon shares hundreds of miles of border with Nigeria and the area adjacent to Borno is considered porous.
Although Cameroon's security forces have stepped up security in the region, a source told French radio that the government in Yaounde had been given no advance warning of the Nigerian campaign.
More than 2,000 people have died in violence in Nigeria since 2010, most of which is blamed on Boko Haram.
The group, whose name means "Western education is forbidden", says its quest is to overthrow the Nigerian government and create an Islamic state.
There has been growing concern that Boko Haram is receiving backing from al-Qaeda-linked militants in other countries.
About 12 people were warned to leave the Weir Caravan Park in Stamford Bridge by the site's owners who began knocking on caravans at 09:00 BST.
The Environment Agency (EA) issued a flood warning for the river at the park, in the early hours.
Two pumps are in use at the scene and the EA said river levels were dropping.
The riverside caravan site has about 100 static pitches and space for touring caravans.
The nearby Swordsman Inn was also flooded with a "couple of inches" of water, according to the manager, but this has been pumped out and the public house is being cleared up.
The Environment Agency (EA) said there had been a significant amount of rain in 24 hours, with up to 40mm falling in places and heavy rain showers are expected to continue on Sunday and next week.
Shakrul Islam, 31, had already used the car as a weapon to scare petrol station staff, a jury was told.
Kyle Clarke, 27, died when he was dragged for half a mile under the car in Bristol in January.
Islam, of South Gloucestershire, who had denied the charge, was convicted of manslaughter, at the city's crown court and sentenced to seven years.
Sentencing the unlicensed driver of Chipping Sodbury, Judge Peter Blair QC said Mr Clarke's death had had "an earth-shattering effect" on his family.
"They were planning on emigrating to Australia and had that day made a final payment for visas," he said.
Islam had previously admitted causing death by dangerous driving.
Mr Clarke's death followed an altercation with garage employee Abu Sayem, who thought they were going to try and drive off without paying for petrol, the court heard.
Mr Clarke was pulled from the car by Mr Sayem, but Islam drove the car at them, knocking Mr Clarke over and trapping him under the car as he drove off.
The vehicle finally came to a halt at traffic lights when members of the public lifted the car up and tried to save Mr Clarke's life.
A post-mortem examination found Mr Clarke had suffered 48 rib fractures, fractures to his breast bone and collarbone and collapsed lungs.
Speaking after the sentencing, Det Supt Sarah Davenport said Islam drove away from the garage "travelling a considerable distance with Kyle trapped under the car".
"When he finally stopped, Kyle had already suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene," she said.
"Our thoughts remain with Kyle's family and friends."
His mother Helen Stockford, said he had been the "soul of the family" and his death was "devastating" for his brothers and sisters.
"He was a good kid - heart of gold. Even in his hardest moments he still managed to find a smile and have a laugh and a joke," she said.
Referring to the move to Australia, Mrs Stockford said her son was "so looking forward to going".
"It just seems so sad because on the verge of us emigrating, it has now come to this," she said.
"We are extremely upset that Kyle isn't with us today. My heart also stands with Mr Islam who has been convicted, because I think he didn't deliberately set out to kill my son."
Mrs Stockford said she and her family did not agree with the conviction and would help Islam with an appeal against if he planned to.

However, after a chance meeting with the snowboarding Olympic Bronze medal holder, Jenny Jones persuaded me that I should give skiing a try at least once. I never thought I would be taking my first lesson a year later.
Before I got on the snow I had to have an assessment to see what adaptive skis I would be using, testing my strength and balance. After that I just had put on the gear. That turned out to be an ordeal as it took about 10 minutes to get one shoe on!
For some reason, I thought I was going to be going down a big slope on my own in my first lesson and of course that was not the case.
The next question that came into my head was how am I going to get onto the snow on one ski when I can't use my wheelchair? I got my answer soon enough - I had to do it myself.
In the first instance, Steve the instructor said he would have to push me up the kids slope until I was strong enough to do it myself. He then explained that it could take a year of practice to get that strong!
I faceplanted the snow several times but once I eventually managed to balance and move down the slope, it was the best feeling ever. I realised I could really do this and I started to understand why people love this sport!
Then we went on the big slope (apparently one of the biggest indoor slopes in the country!) Steve was on the back and I had to steer. I was terrified and I didn't stop screaming all the way down! I mustn't have been that scared though because it didn't stop me going up for a second try.
For the first time, I saw snow differently and not just an inconvenience that gives you a snowday off work. What I loved about it was how much speed you build up going down the slope and the sense of freedom!
This is definitely in the top five sports I want to continue with after the challenges are over. Look out for me in Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Paralympic games!
I was pretty chuffed when we pulled out Skiing for our second sport in this series of challenges. I once worked in Austria at a ski resort and despite making beds, cleaning toilets and serving dinner at a local chalet I spent a lot of my spare time on the slopes.
Since returning to England though, going to university and finding a job, I just haven't had the time (or money) to get back into it, so I was really looking forward to hitting the slopes once more.
I felt pretty nervous on the day of our ski outing. The thing with skiing is that it's a really 'cool,' fashionable sport and the last thing I wanted was to look like a loser out on the slopes. Anyway, I pulled myself together and slipped on the ski boots in a familiar, awkward fashion.
Steve, the instructor, eased me into it on the nursery slope and it seemed like I'd forgotten everything. I felt like bambi on ice and I certainly couldn't remember how to turn. However, I soon found myself at the foot of the adult slope and strangely excited to take it on!
I don't know what happened up there, but in a split second, everything seemed to click into place; I felt like the king of the slope. Everything I had learnt a few years ago in Austria all came flooding back and I found my inner confidence.
It was really great actually, you get such a buzz from flying down a mountain on a pair of skis and the beauty of it is, that you're in control (sort of). If you want to take a leisurely pace, you can do and equally if you want to be a daredevil, there's room for that too.
I really would love to get back into it. There's nothing more fulfilling than skiing your way down a mountain in some of the most picturesque surroundings in the world. Having said that, it is quite a costly sport and it's not something I'd be able to afford to do on a regular basis.
It's also good to know that it really is like riding a bike and the next time the opportunity comes up, I can slip back into those skis like it was yesterday.
If you are interested in getting into skiing, take a look at the Get Inspired skiing activity guide for details.
Neighbours told her trial they found Stephen Rayner, 25, collapsed in a pool of blood outside the flat the couple shared in Acton, west London, in September last year.
They described hearing "hysterical screams" moments earlier.
Jewellery designer Elizabeth "Lizzie" Hart-Browne, 27, denies murder.
David Winkworth told the Old Bailey he went outside to investigate after hearing the screams.
He told the jury he saw Mr Rayner's legs sticking out on the ground, then noticed Ms Hart-Browne sitting alone on her doorstep repeating "what have I done, what have I done".
Another neighbour, Katie Harrington, described trying to save Mr Rayner's life before paramedics arrived.
She said: "I heard some noise coming from the car park area. I couldn't hear exactly what was said, what was happening.
"A couple of moments later, I heard a female voice that was very distressed saying 'he's been stabbed, he's dead'.
"I put my shoes on and went outside. There was a man on the floor with a large pool of blood and there was a young lady who was leaning over looking and holding his neck.
"I ran inside and got some towels then I went back out there and tried to feel for a pulse."
Ms Harrington said she asked the "hysterical" woman to move away so she could roll him on his side as the ambulance operator gave instructions over the phone.
The court has heard that Ms Hart-Browne says she killed her boyfriend in self-defence during a violent attack by him.
The trial continues.
John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), warns that "tawdry political tactics" could deflect from important issues facing the UK economy.
Such a focus, he wrote in a letter to Westminster leaders, had "been sorely lacking in political discourse".
The BCC represents thousands of firms.
"For many businesses, both small and large, one of the greatest sources of challenge and uncertainty in 2015 isn't the state of global markets, but home-grown politics," Mr Longworth cautioned.
He further decried politicians who "race between television studios and events to undercut their rivals' policy pronouncements, to proclaim themselves most 'in touch' with the needs of the people".
"You must focus on the causes, not the symptoms, of the challenges that face our United Kingdom," he said.
The UK's public spending, and wider economic matters affecting the country, will be among the most hotly contested issues in the run-up to the next general-election, scheduled for May 2015.
In his letter - addressed to PM David Cameron, deputy PM and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, and Labour leader Ed Miliband, as well as other party leaders - Mr Longworth outlined some of the policies on the BCC's wish list.
He said the organisation wanted those in power to support UK companies that are "brave enough to sell products and services across the world," as well as help with training opportunities and new jobs for both the young and old.
The BCC also called for greater devolution across the UK, with more decisions made locally, and an end to what it termed "crushing input taxes".
"Maintaining corporation tax at 20% would be a sound beginning," Mr Longworth added. | A man has been charged with raping a woman in Greater Manchester.

Police found the victims after investigating reports of squatters.
The room was too low to stand up in, one victim was chained to a boiler, and the only food in the room was a container of orange juice, police said.
One suspect, Linda Ann Weston, previously served eight years in prison for starving a man to death in 1981.
Police officially charged Weston, 51, Gregory Thomas, 47, and Eddie Wright, 50 with multiple charges, including criminal conspiracy, kidnapping and aggravated assault.
Authorities are looking into additional federal charges, a spokesman told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"We're going to find every crime possible in the crime code to put on these individuals," said Lt Raymond Evers.
The adults found in the basement have the mental capacity of 10-year-olds, police said.
They ranged in age from 29 to 41. Once found, they were taken to hospital and listed as being in a stable condition.
Turgut Gozleveli, the owner of the Philadelphia building, told the Philadelphia Inquirer he checked out the basement after neighbours complained of suspicious people.
When he failed to find anyone in the basement, he followed the sound of a barking dog to a room under the basement, where a chain was wrapped around a door handle.
Inside he saw two small dogs and blankets, and then people's faces.
"It was terrible," he said. "Something I never expected to see in my life."
He then called police, who found the adults in the 15ft by 15ft (4.5m) room, surrounded by buckets of their own excrement.
According to police interviews with the captives, they had been brought to Philadelphia about 10 days before they were found, having been in West Palm Beach, Florida, and Texas.
Linda Ann Weston and Eddie Wright recently lived for about two months at a home in West Palm Beach, stripping it of wire and plumbing and smearing faeces on the walls, according to a report by the Palm Beach Post.
Previously she served eight years in prison for starving to death 25-year-old Bernardo Ramos. Ramos had refused to support her sister's unborn child.
She held him in the closet of their Philadelphia apartment in 1981 for two months, feeding him only three times, according to reports.
Sally Hunt, head of the University and College Union (UCU), said in a speech "every penny" should be donated.
Last week, union members took action over a 1.1% pay rise offered by universities, calling it "an insult".
The Universities and Colleges Employers' Association (UCEA) said students faced no major disruption.
Speaking at the UCU annual conference in Liverpool, Ms Hunt said: "Vice-chancellors and principals are so busy defending their own exorbitant pay that they have forgotten that universities and colleges are nothing without students and staff.
"Not so long ago, most institutions would give money docked from striking staff to their student hardship funds - these days it is far less likely.
"Therefore, today I am calling on all vice-chancellors and principals to do the right thing and commit every penny they took from our members for striking last week to their student hardship funds."
The UCU says the two-day strike over a 1.1% pay rise for academic staff comes as vice-chancellors enjoy high salaries.
But UCEA said the offer to staff was generous when compared with that of public sector workers, such as those working in local government and the prison service, who received a rise of 1%.
A spokesman said: "Higher education institutions are reporting either no or low disruption on either of UCU's two strike days on 25 and 26 May.
"It is therefore not surprising that the number of UCU members actually declaring themselves to have been on strike appears to be very low, with the early reports averaging at less than 45 per institution.
"It is up to each institution to decide what they will do with pay withheld from those who did strike, though we know many have policies for making a donation to their student hardship fund or, for example, to support onsite nursery provision."
According to Ms Hunt, students supported the industrial action and she will thank them in her speech for their support.
She said "that this fight is their fight - and that we will support them when they defend education".
She also said the National Union of Students and UCU are planning a national demonstration in the autumn, aimed at defending education.
The 35-year-old is Wales' record cap holder with 121 but has been on the bench for Wales' first two Six Nations games, with Rob Evans preferred.
Cardiff Blues loose-head Jenkins admits the 2019 World Cup will be "too far" for him but is determined to regain his place in the Welsh front row.
"I'm still as hungry as ever to put that Welsh jersey on," he said.
"Even though I'm on the bench, I still think I've got something to offer.
"It all depends on your regional form. I'd like to think if I'm still playing well week in, week out then I would have a chance of being involved.
"I can't see me retiring because I'm still eligible to play for Wales."
Wales head coach Warren Gatland sprang a major surprise when he selected Evans, 23, ahead of Jenkins for their Six Nations opener in Ireland.
Scarlet Evans kept his place for last Saturday's win against Scotland, with Jenkins appearing from the bench in both matches.
As a veteran of three British and Irish Lions tours, Jenkins is not used to being on the Welsh bench but has been impressed by Evans.
"It's different for me but Rob's gone really well and I've enjoyed supporting him and trying to make an impact off the bench," Jenkins added.
"I think he's been outstanding in the first two games. He's still young at international level but learning every week.
"He's a strong scrummager and carries very well around the field. He's only going to get better.
"That's good for Wales that they've got someone coming through now who will hopefully be there for the next 10 years.
"It's quite hard watching, different nerves as to starting, when you know what to expect."
After selecting Evans for the Ireland match, Gatland said Jenkins would not play at the 2019 World Cup.
However, the New Zealander said he still expected Jenkins to play a big part in this season's Six Nations.
"That's probably going to be too far for me, the World Cup," said Jenkins.
"That hasn't really entered my thinking.
"When the time comes, I'll do that [retire] but at the moment I'm just concentrating on playing week in, week out for the region and playing well."
Four youths wearing Scream-type masks attacked the 22-year-old as she walked along Sunningdale Road in Denton, Greater Manchester on Friday night.
After being dragged to the ground and sexually assaulted, the woman fought off the gang and raised the alarm.
Police said one youth was chubby and in his early teens while another was tall and wore white trainers.
The attackers were wearing dark clothing.
Supt Neil Evans of Greater Manchester Police said the victim had suffered a "traumatic ordeal".
"Anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault will know just how frightening it must have been for this victim," he said.
"Given the offenders were wearing masks designed to be scary means it must have been a truly harrowing and scary few minutes for this woman.
"She was pushed to the floor and sexually assaulted, leaving her in a state of total shock, and clearly she is extremely distressed."
The device is designed to help users in noisy environments, and can switch between audio and visual cues.
A multi-disciplinary team of scientists and clinicians has been awarded almost £500,000 to develop the technology.
They said it had the potential to "significantly improve" the lives of millions of people with hearing loss.
More than 10m people in the UK suffer from some form of hearing loss, with the number estimated to rise to 14.5m by 2031.
The team led by Prof Amir Hussain has been working on a prototype "next generation" hearing aid, and the funding from the UK government's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) will allow dedicated work to take place over the next three years.
Prof Hussain said: "This exciting world-first project has the potential to significantly improve the lives of millions of people who have hearing difficulties.
"Existing commercial hearing aids are capable of working on an audio-only basis, but the next-generation audio-visual model we want to develop will intelligently track the target speaker's face for visual cues, like lip reading. These will further enhance the audio sounds that are picked up and amplified by conventional hearing aids.
"The 360-degree approach to our software design is expected to open up more everyday environments to device users, enabling them to confidently communicate in noisier settings with a reduced listening effort."
The hearing aid's camera could be mounted inside a pair of glasses, a necklace or even an earring.
Prof Hussain and his team will collaborate with colleagues in the university's psychology department, a team at the University of Sheffield, international hearing aid manufacturer Phonak, and the Institute of Hearing Research.
The institute's Dr William Whitmer said: "We are excited about the potential ability for this new technology, which takes advantage of the similar information presented to the eyes and ears in noisy conversation, to aid listening in those difficult situations, a consistent issue for those affected by hearing loss."
West Heslerton, near Malton, has gone on the market for a guide price of £20m after being owned by the same family for more than 150 years.
The village has a 21-bedroom mansion, pub, petrol station, playing fields, 43 homes and 2,116 acres of land.
Pub landlady Claire Marshall said: "We've had calls from all the press in the UK, America, Australia, all over.
"It's an end of an era for us, but hopefully we can find a decent landlord that will keep things the same, in the traditional manner that the estate has been run.
"We've been looked after well by the family."
Eve Dawnay owned the estate until her death five years ago, but the Dawnay family have now decided to sell up.
John Myers, who has been a West Heslerton resident all of his life, said: "I've lived in the same house here for 78 years.
"There's nothing you can do about it, as long as the owner who buys it are alright with me, I will be alright with them."
Figures from the Land Registry show other terrace houses and semi-detached properties have sold in the West Heslerton postcode for between £95,000 and £116,500, with the nine-bedroom Old Rectory last sold in 2011 for £700,000.

The Office for National Statistics puts the current average house price in Yorkshire and The Humber at £181,000, a rise of 3.9% in the past year.
The estate agents involved in the sale expect it to be on the market for between four and 12 weeks.
Tom Watson, of Cundalls, said: "The rents have always been a reasonably low level.
"Because rents are reasonable, that helps the village to have a good community of all ages."
It is estimated the annual income for the estate is £388,000.
Frank Bruce, who was born in the village, said: "It's beautiful. There are some things money can't buy, the views, the people, it's great. Not much has changed at all.
"As long as things continue more or less as it is, but who knows what will happen."

Burying bodies safely was an important part of halting the spread of the virus which is passed on by direct contact with bodily fluids – and a dead body is even more contagious.
Two of more than 500 ordinary Sierra Leoneans who volunteered to bury Ebola victims, describe how their lives have been changed by the epidemic.
The case, which has been dubbed the "war on terrier", will be heard on 18 April in Queensland.
The actress is facing two counts of knowingly importing a prohibited product in breach of the Quarantine Act.
A court official told AFP that Heard is required to appear at the hearing.
Heard came under fire for failing to declare Pistol and Boo, the couple's Yorkshire terriers, to authorities on their arrival in Brisbane in April.
Under strict Australian laws designed to keep disease at bay, dogs entering from the US must be declared and have to spend 10 days in quarantine.
The case sparked global attention after the terriers were threatened with death by Australia's Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce, unless they went "back to the United States".
Mr Joyce said he did not care if Depp had been voted the "sexiest man alive", he still had to adhere to quarantine rules.
The animals, which had allegedly travelled by private jet to Queensland, where Depp was filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, were quickly whisked out of the country as the story hit the headlines.
In July she was charged with two counts of illegally importing the dogs into Australia and one count of producing a false document.
Penalties range from a hefty fine to more than 10 years in prison.
An earlier hearing set for September was adjourned.
After the incident in May, Heard vowed never to return to Australia, although reports earlier this month said she "respected Australia's laws" and was looking forward to "attending the hearing of these matters".
Twelve witnesses are listed to give evidence but it is not known whether Depp is one of them.

Defending champion Walkden, 24, beat Turkey's Nafia Kus 5-4 in the final at the Salle Omnisports Perrier.
It is GB's third gold medal in three days in Switzerland, after successes for Lauren Williams and Jade Jones.
"I'm honoured to win here for a second time," said Walkden, who now holds world and European titles. "Hopefully I can become Olympic champion."
Walkden handed a couple of points to Kus in warnings, but was consistently more aggressive than her opponent and finished strongly with decisive punches in the third round.
Cpl Joshua Hoole, 26, of Ecclefechan, near Lockerbie, died during pre-course training for the Platoon Sergeants' Battle Course.
Ambulances were called to Dering Lines infantry training centre in Brecon shortly before 09:00 BST on Tuesday.
The MoD said he collapsed after arriving back at the barracks.
Cpl Hoole was serving in the Rifles regiment at ITC Catterick. The cause of his death is not yet known and police are investigating.
An MoD spokesman said: "It was a two-week course and they were on day two.
"They all did the annual fitness test which is an eight-mile route carrying 25kg in two hours. No-one can do the route in less than one hour [and] 50 minutes.
"The annual fitness test is the first thing you do. This test gets done all across the infantry and is not supposed to be taxing."
The spokesman said the officer in charge would have checked the weather conditions and the temperature as part of his duties, on what was the hottest day of the year so far in Wales.
"It was 17 degrees when they started and 21 or 22 degrees when they finished," the spokesman said.
He said the Army had looked at how training was carried out following previous deaths - including the three soldiers who died during a SAS selection exercise in 2013.
"Where practicable, every recommendation and report has been implemented in order to ensure soldiers training is made as safe as possible," he added.
Tributes have been paid to Cpl Hoole, who was due to get married and be the best man at his brother's wedding.
His grandfather, John Craig described him as a "beautiful grandson" and a "super fit boy."
He said: "He was a dedicated soldier," adding he "always wanted to be top dog".
His aunt, Morag Craig, told BBC Wales that the family will demand to know why he died.
"We are going to ask that question," she said.
She described Cpl Hoole as "absolutely fantastic" and "always there for any of us in the family".
"There was nothing he wouldn't do for you - he had a heart of gold."
"I think we are hoping that we'll wake up and someone has been playing a joke," she said, "but now it's starting to hit home."
His step mother Carol Jeffreys posted on her Facebook page: "Rest easy soldier. My beautiful stepson. Can't believe it. Will always love you.
"So very proud of you. Thoughts with your family and fiancee."
Friend Kyle Blackburn said: "We are all going to miss you, there was never a dull moment when you were around.
"Always had something to say to me even though it was cheek. Sleep tight, always be proud to call you my mate."
Dyfed-Powys Police said it was working closely with the MoD and Cpl Hoole's next of kin had been informed.
An ambulance service spokesman said it was called to the infantry training centre at Dering Lines "to reports of a medical emergency". The Wales Air Ambulance also attended.
The Health and Safety Executive said it had been informed of the death.
A spokesman added: "Dyfed-Powys Police are leading the initial enquiries into the soldier's death and HSE will not speculate at this stage on the exact circumstances of this fatal incident."
Defence Minister Harriett Baldwin told the House of Commons defence committee she wanted to express her sorrow at the "very sad death" and to "make the commitment that the Ministry of Defence will, of course, be undertaking a full investigation".
Cpl Hoole's death comes three years after three soldiers died during an SAS training exercise in the Brecon Beacons on 13 July 2013, one of the hottest days of the year.
L/Cpls Edward Maher and Craig Roberts died on the beacons after suffering heatstroke during a 16-mile (26km) SAS test march on 13 July 2013.
Cpl James Dunsby died from multiple organ failure in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital more than two weeks later.
A coroner ruled neglect played a part in their deaths.
L/Cpl Dunsby's widow, Bryher Dunsby, offered her condolences to Cpl Hoole's family.
She said: "I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences and my love to Joshua's fiancée, family and friends following another tragic death in training at Brecon.
"I sincerely hope that all the inquiries into this incident are conducted promptly, with truth, integrity and total transparency by the MoD."
The Platoon Sergeants' Battle Course is a promotion qualifying course to the rank of Sergeant for Rifle Company Platoon Sergeants, the MoD website says.
It is said to be both mentally and physically demanding but students "receive the highest level of tuition and testing to ensure they are fully prepared for the rigours of command".
Smoke was reported to be coming from the 07:47 GMT London Midland service from Leamington Spa as it passed through Lapworth, Warwickshire.
Warwickshire Fire Service said the fire was in the wheels at the front of the five-carriage train.
Evacuated passengers were taken to a sports hall at a nearby primary school.
The train was heading to Birmingham Moor Street before continuing to Worcester Shrub Hill.
Updates on this and other stories on Coventry and Warwickshire
The lines have since reopened and delays, which lasted until early afternoon, have cleared.
Chiltern Railways and London Midland services are replaced by buses between Dorridge and Leamington Spa, while CrossCountry services are diverted via Coventry.
Lionel Deely was on the platform when the train arrived at Lapworth.
He said: "I was on the platform watching the train. When it came in there was flames and smoke coming from it.
"I shouted to the people on the train and was pointing to the fire. Some bloke must have gone to tell the driver."
Commuter Anna Dee tweeted she was thankful to Lapworth School for opening its school hall for passengers to sit in while they waited for coaches to let them continue their journey.

Spurs lost 1-0 on Wednesday and have now lost both of their European games at the national stadium this season.
The club are playing their home Champions League games at Wembley while White Hart Lane is being redeveloped.
Pochettino said: "There is nowhere better in the world to play football. We were the problem, not Wembley."
Spurs have the option to play all home league and cup matches, as well as any European games, at Wembley next season.
Pochettino added: "It is embarrassing for me.
"After two games at Wembley, Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen, there is no excuse. We were poor and we need to find the answer in ourselves.
"We are very disappointed and we cannot show the performance that we have in recent weeks - that is the problem."
The Leverkusen defeat followed a 2-1 loss at Wembley against Monaco in their opening Champions League game of the season.
Wednesday's match was played in front of 85,512, the highest English club home Champions League crowd, but saw Spurs fall to their sixth successive Wembley loss.
Spurs now lie third in Group E behind Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen with two games left to qualify for the knockout stage, away to Monaco and at home to CSKA Moscow.
"We must win, if not we can forget the Champions League," Pochettino said.
"We need to improve and we don't have too much time to do that."
Spurs return to Premier League action on Sunday in the North London derby against Arsenal.
The sophisticated scam happened at Rangsit University in Bangkok.
The university says three people filmed their test papers using tiny cameras embedded in their glasses.
They then transmitted the images to an outside team, who sent the correct answers to the smartwatches of three other students taking the exams.
One admitted he was being charged $24,000 (£17,000) to receive the right answers to get into medical school.
There is tough competition to get into medical school in Thailand but potentially high rewards, as patients from around the world travel to Thailand for medical treatment.
The university's rector, Arthit Ourairat, told the Bangkok Post the students involved had been blacklisted and would not be allowed to apply to study there again.
The newspaper said the people filming the exams left partway through so they could transmit the films of the test papers to the outside team.
The students involved have not been named and it is not clear whether they are part of a wider network.
Mr Ourairat made the scam public in a post on Facebook. It was shared tens of thousands of times.
"If they had passed and graduated, we might have had illegal doctors working for us," commented one person.
One sign said "Anti-democratic zone and regime" while another appeared to joke about the Nazi Holocaust, reading "Entry forbidden - gas chamber".
The Venice prefect ordered "any references to fascism" to be removed.
But now the row has spread to parliament, over a bill to tighten up laws against promoting fascism.
Under the proposals put forward by the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), propaganda praising the Mussolini or Nazi regimes would become a crime punishable by up to two years in jail. The bill is particularly geared towards material posted on the internet.
The populist Five Star movement condemned the bill as killing freedom, while right-wing parties including the Northern League said it criminalised opinion and made no sense.
Former Prime Minister and PD leader Matteo Renzi argued that it was fascism that had killed liberty rather than a law criminalising propaganda, while the PD politician behind the bill, Emmanuele Fiano, said Italian law already made clear there were limits to freedom of expression.
But Northern League leader Matteo Salvini argued that ideas should not be put on trial. "He wants to send to jail people who sell a lighter with Mussolini's face on it," he complained.
Under existing law, Nazi or fascist actions and declarations that incite violence and discrimination can already be punished with a jail term.
The Mussolini theme was clear from the entrance to the privately run Punta Canna resort, where the sign read "Rules: Order, cleanliness and discipline."
As well as fascist slogans, the beach at Chioggia, a short distance south of Venice, broadcast regular messages over speakers from its manager, Gianni Scarpa, a 64 year-old clad in a black bandana.
Before police raided the beach he told La Repubblica newspaper (in Italian) that he was "delighted to have an exemplary clientele", and that he hated filthy people and democracy.
The head of Italy's Jewish community, Noemi Di Segni, told the paper that she was concerned that journalists rather than the authorities had brought the case to light.
"The images we have seen are an outrage to the memory of victims of the Shoah [Holocaust] and an insult to the democratic institutions of our country," she said.
National partisans organisation ANPI called on tourists to boycott the beach and for the manager to lose his licence to run it.
McClenaghan, a member of the Rathgael Gymastics club in Bangor, finished behind the Olympic and world medallists in the pommel horse event.
"What the heck just happened?" said McClenaghan on Twitter.
"I just shared the podium with Louis Smith and Max Whitlock."
McClenaghan added:"There's nobody happier than I am now."
The 16-year-old's pommel horse score of 15.175 is one of the highest ever produced by a junior.
McClenaghan's achievement has been described as an "historical moment" for the Rathgael club.
Whitlock pipped his fellow British star Smith to take the gold after earlier clinching the all-round title in Liverpool.
Having started the day on 67-2, Steven Mullaney (62) and Samit Patel (82) got Notts off to a good start, extending their third-wicket partnership to 137.
Jeevan Mendis (3-93) and Connor McKerr struck to reduce Notts to 239-5 - just 105 ahead - and give Derbyshire hope.
But Riki Wessels (46) and Chris Read (46 not out) stretched the lead before bad weather signalled stumps at 313-6.
Derbyshire, looking for a first County Championship win since July 2015, were well on top at tea after Mullaney fell to an excellent Tom Taylor catch, McKerr pinned Patel lbw and Mendis had Michael Lumb caught at short-leg.
However, Wessels and Read scored swiftly to expel some nerves before poor light and rain brought about an early close, with all three results still possible on the final day at Trent Bridge.
Notts all-rounder Samit Patel told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"I'm pretty pleased with how it went but it's a bit disappointing not to get to three figures. Hopefully we can put ourselves into a winning position.
"If we can get a partnership going now between Ready and Brett Hutton and get the lead above 200 then the nerves will start to twitch.
"We set our stall out because we knew it was going to be an important day. We did the majority of things right but then we lost Mull after lunch and I followed with one that kept low."
Derbyshire's Daryn Smit told BBC Radio Derby:
"All three results are still a possibility, so I guess that's what you'd prefer going into the last day.
"It's a nice position to be in. I think we are the happier changing room.
"But that counts for nothing unless we pitch up and compete like we have done over the first three days."
Seamus Kenny, who lives in Hillsborough but is originally from County Galway, says he is "very, very lucky" to have a new kidney after suffering from a degenerative condition for more than 15 years.
His wife Pauline was a willing donor but was not a match so they subscribed to the scheme that attempts to pair donors and recipients across the UK.
They got a match within months of enrolling with the scheme, and last June they went through surgery on the same day to complete Seamus's journey back to full health.
And, as a gesture of thanks for their treatment and care, the pair have helped raise £100,000 for the renal unit at the City Hospital in Belfast.
Seamus was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease in 1997, although the diagnosis came as no great surprise.
His father was a sufferer, and two of Seamus's sisters and a brother also have the hereditary condition.
The disease causes cysts to form in the kidneys, and Seamus suffered a 4% annual loss in function from the time of his diagnosis.
Because of the gradual nature of the decline he only really started to notice the effects a couple of years ago.
Pauline, who is originally from County Cavan, says: "Seamus probably didn't feel any different because the decline was 4% a year, but for two years before I saw a significant difference.
"His quality of life had got quite difficult, he was tired all the time, he had no appetite, he had no energy and he looked dreadful."
A conversation with his doctor in 2011 had already raised the possibility of either a transplant or dialysis, but Pauline's incompatibility as a donor was a disappointment.
But when she said she was still willing to be a donor they entered the shared donor scheme.
Pauline adds: "It is a very well-structured scheme and lots of families find themselves in the same situation as Seamus and I were in - you want to donate to your loved one but you are not a suitable donor."
The scheme runs a computer program four times a year to try and match up couples, and Seamus and Pauline struck lucky on their second run through the system.
Seamus says: "On 7 April last year I went for my normal appointment because I was being seen regularly at that stage, every two months or every month depending on how my condition was.
"I had got a stay of execution from dialysis the month previously, and when I was told it was good news I assumed it was another stay of execution. But it was that they had found a match for us.
"We were stunned, it was like a dream come true."
The couple had two months to prepare for their surgeries, and things could not have gone better.
Pauline says: "This happens all the time, we're not that unique, lots of families have been through what we've been through.
"We went through surgery on the same day. The couple that we were paired with were in a different centre, and in the morning the donors have their kidneys removed and then they are flown at the same time, mine over to Britain and the donor kidney in Britain was flown to Belfast.
"Then the recipients, the two patients, go to theatre in the afternoon and the kidneys are transplanted."
Pauline was out of hospital within three days, and Seamus was back home after a week.
They pledged to give something back to the City Hospital, and Seamus linked up with his company, food processing and agribusiness firm ABP, for a fundraising ball.
It raised £60,000 last November, and that was supplemented by a £40,000 donation from the Goodman Foundation.
"Pauline and I received extraordinary care in the City Hospital and I am certain this money will benefit many, many others with kidney disease," adds Seamus.
The functionality of his kidney is back to about 60-70%, "but all you need is about 25% to function normally", he says.
He has been given a clean bill of health at the hospital, and considers himself "very, very lucky".
Maxime Mermoz twice crossed the line for home tries and Delon Armitage and Chris Masoe also rounded off moves as Toulon produced a stylish display.
But DTH van der Merwe spearheaded a recovery that saw Gregor Townsend's men score four tries to earn a bonus point.
Matt Giteau added two more Toulon tries to guarantee the hosts victory.
Despite their ominous task, described by Townsend as "the ultimate test", Glasgow headed to the south of France in confident mood, their five consecutive victories taking them to the summit of the Pro12.
Yet the Scots lost five of their six group games last term in Europe and they have not been involved in a knockout game since the 1997-98 season.
Prior to this win, Toulon had 17 successive home victories in Europe and their first-half performance gave plenty of reminders as to how they had built such a record.
Four times they breached the blue and black ranks and the gulf between the teams looked to be accurately reflected in the 34-0 half-time score.
Jonny Wilkinson captained Toulon and with customary accuracy booted home three conversions and a penalty before leaving the pitch injured.
The Englishman was adding the extras and putting the French out of reach in the match, but the real eye-catching rugby came from his team-mates, who moved the ball at pace and with accuracy.
Fans of the Top 14 leaders roared their approval in the autumn sunshine.
Niko Matawalu was correctly judged to have knocked the ball on before he burst through the Toulon defence and crossed the line in the very early stages of the game, and that was the last the travelling fans saw of Glasgow as an attacking force until the second half.
Armitage set the tone as he rounded off a swift attack on the right and Wilkinson converted.
Handling errors were almost absent as Toulon attacked repeatedly and Mermoz anticipated a pass by Josua Tuisova to make it try number two.
If the first scores highlighted the French side's flair, their third was the result of raw power as they collected from the line-out, pushed the Glasgow pack into reverse and Masoe made the crucial incision.
Frederic Michalak came on for Wilkinson, while Glasgow lost Alex Dunbar to a shoulder injury, with Byron McGuigan his replacement.
The French half-back scored a late first-half penalty but before that was involved in Toulon's fourth try as he set up Mermoz, and the Australian Giteau took on the kicking duties to add the conversion.
Whatever was said in the away changing room, Glasgow came out with real purpose for the second half.
Van der Merwe caused some grumbling in the home stands when he scored Glasgow's first points with a purposeful charge over, but that looked like merely a minor irritation when Giteau's surge restored the 34-point advantage.
However, a superb shimmy and run by Ruaridh Jackson provided the energetic Matawalu with the perfect chance to score Glasgow's second try and Jackson landed the conversion.
And the Warriors were next to score when strong hold-up play by Ed Kalman was built on by the attacking Jonny Gray.
Jeers and whistles filled the Toulon skies when Van der Merwe darted away from the home defence for Glasgow's fourth try and a bonus point.
That was to be Glasgow's final scoring contribution, with a Michalak penalty and another Giteau try extending Toulon's winning margin.
Glasgow's next match in the competition is next Sunday at Scotstoun against Exeter Chiefs, who ran in six tries in

It took half an hour to post the first points but Saints' triple flurry from Zeb Taia, Jack Owens and Adam Swift stunned the Wire.
Kurt Gidley crossed after the break to finally get Wolves on the board.
Mark Percival's goal, Swift and Alex Walmsley tries and a Smith drop-goal ended Warrington's comeback hopes.
Smith was brought back to his old club for 2017 after spells at Salford and Wigan, although a broken leg had delayed his second debut before this game.
Both Saints coach Keiron Cunningham and opposite number Tony Smith felt the pressure of disappointing starts to the season, but it is the latter who will be wondering where respite will come after making their worst start to the season since 2009.
The Wolves had failed to replicate their superb World Club Challenge performance against Brisbane Broncos in league games, but were defensively sound in the opening half hour having conceded first in past three games.
However, when they were eventually undone as Taia touched down James Roby's grubber it was the first of a quick-fire treble.
Owens tracked a Smith kick and Swift scored off a short-side move to leave Warrington punch-drunk at the break.
Warrington had a glimmer of hope when Smith's kick to touch went out on the full and from the resulting set Gidley raced through a gap onto Brad Dwyer's pass.
Jon Wilkin's kick found Swift for try number four and Smith's late drop-goal added insult to injury for the wounded Wolves before Walmsley crashed over to truly blow out the scoreline.
St Helens head coach Keiron Cunningham told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "I'm very happy, happy we've backed up two great performances, I'm happy how we approached, we didn't try to force issue, we built pressure after 25 minutes of a tough arm-wrestle and the weight of pressure told and we posted points.
"There were some really smart plays from key people at the right times that got us across the line. We lost a couple of games this season and won them if Matty [Smith] had been in our side. He's so influential, he's a leader and game management is second to none, that's why we brought him to the club.
"I knew Warrington would come firing, Tony would have have big words and they came out and played. Every time it sped up around the ruck they looked dangerous. The best thing was the response to that as we got back in our rhythm, were patient. It was a pleasure for the players, and we've done it tough. Lots of bad things get said about you at this club and you're expected to win."
Warrington head coach Tony Smith told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "I didn't think there was much between the two teams in the first half and they scored two well constructed kicks into the corner, Matty Russell made a bit of a hash of it, all he had to do was put his hand on the ball. But they were playing in the right end of the field for those errors to happen. We didn't put enough pressure on them.
"Next thing you look at the scoreboard, a couple of slip ups and you're 18 points down. The way we went about some of our defence was an improvement, but where we finished or sets, penalties and handing the ball over hurts us too much.
"It's tough, no-one wants to be in this position, it's hard work, dedication to your work. It's easier when your team is ripping it up and the players are getting all the accolades and so they should. Now this is where we earn our cash and earn our respect. We've got to handle this patch with dignity. I]m going to continue to work hard, be respectful about players and performances and we need to stay united."

The PM, writing in the Sunday Telegraph, said a "humanitarian response" to IS was not enough and a "firm security response" was needed.
It comes as Church leaders expressed concern that the UK had no "coherent" approach to tackling Islamic extremism.
IS has seized large parts of northern Iraq and Syria over the summer.
There are also continuing reports of massacres of non-Muslims by the extreme Sunni group, which is seeking to build a new Islamic state spanning Iraq and Syria.
Kurdish forces, supported by US air strikes, said they had recaptured Mosul dam from IS fighters in northern Iraq on Sunday. The Pentagon said it had destroyed or damaged 19 IS vehicles and a checkpoint near the dam.
By Robin Brant, BBC political correspondent
The language is very strong - "a battle against a poisonous ideology" - and the warning is stark - "a terrorist state on the shores of the Mediterranean" - as the prime minister seeks to make the case for Britain returning to Iraq.
After a week that has seen UK military aircraft drop humanitarian aid, David Cameron makes it clear that alone is not enough to defeat IS. He talks repeatedly about Britain using its "military prowess" and military action, alongside diplomacy, to defeat the group.
The talk is tough, but Downing Street insists this is not an escalation. The Ministry of Defence has been reminding people that the UK has played no role in supporting the latest round of US air strikes on IS targets across northern Iraq.
The prime minister's message is as much about home as well as abroad. People walking around with an Islamic State flag "will be arrested", he says. That is a nod to the growing concern about Britons who have gone to fight jihad, in Syria or Iraq, returning home with the intention of carrying on the struggle.
"True security will only be achieved if we use all our resources - aid, diplomacy, our military prowess - to help bring about a more stable world," Mr Cameron said.
"If we do not act to stem the onslaught of this exceptionally dangerous terrorist movement, it will only grow stronger until it can target us on the streets of Britain."
He warned that if IS was able to "carve out its so-called caliphate", the UK would be "facing a terrorist state on the shores of the Mediterranean and bordering a Nato member".
The UK has made aid drops to people stranded in northern Iraq but the prime minister warned a "broader political, diplomatic and security response" was needed, in addition to humanitarian action.
"We need a firm security response, whether that is military action to go after the terrorists, international co-operation on intelligence and counter-terrorism or uncompromising action against terrorists at home," he wrote.
In Britain, the prime minister suggested, anyone "walking around with Isil flags or trying to recruit people to their terrorist cause" should be arrested.
Mr Cameron also made clear that he did not see this as a "war on terror" but as "a battle between Islam on the one hand and extremists who want to abuse Islam on the other".
Speaking on Radio 5 live, communities minister Stephen Williams said any British citizen encouraging people to join IS should face "the full force of the law".
Mr Cameron's remarks come as the Bishop of Leeds warned "many" senior clergy in the Church of England were seriously concerned about Britain's approach to the handling of the Iraq crisis.
The Right Rev Nicholas Baines has written to Mr Cameron asking about the government's overall strategy in response to the humanitarian situation and to IS.
"Behind this question is the serious concern that we do not seem to have a coherent or comprehensive approach to Islamist extremism as it is developing across the globe," he wrote, in a letter published on his website and backed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
He criticised an "increasing silence" about the plight of tens of thousands of persecuted Christians in Iraq, and questioned whether they would be offered asylum in the UK.
Speaking to Radio 4's Sunday programme, the Bishop of Manchester, the Right Rev David Walker, said the government had a "moral obligation that it is repeatedly failing to rise to".
Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said the letter from Church leaders had raised "serious questions" about the government's approach to the Middle East and the plight of Christians facing persecution in Iraq and it was "right that [Mr Cameron] now responded".
"The UK government rightly took steps to help avert humanitarian catastrophe in Iraq and Labour has welcomed decisions to now offer support to the Kurdistan regional government and assist Kurdish forces with technical and logistical military equipment.
"But alongside steps to support the Kurdish forces, the UK must now work to engage regional partners to help build a more inclusive and stable government in Iraq.
"That regional approach must focus on supporting and stabilising Jordan, which now shares a border with the Isis-held areas, as well as bringing countries like Turkey into efforts to secure regional stabilisation," he said.
Former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Ashdown told the BBC he believed Mr Cameron's comments were "ill-judged".
"What happens domestically, that's important, but we ought to be creating some kind of strategic policy about curtailing the defining of a widening war, which is much more difficult and important," he said.
He said the PM was also "ill-judged" to talk about defending "our values".
Co-ordinated diplomatic and military action needed to include those who had "universal" values, which "included those in Islam and the East quite as much as those in Christianity and the West", he said.
Earlier this year, Mr Cameron warned that fighters from IS - then named Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) - were plotting terror attacks against the UK.
It is estimated the group has up to 400 recruits from the UK, and some 69 people suspected of Syria-related jihadist activities have now been arrested in the UK.
In late June this year, IS declared that it had created a caliphate, or Islamic state, stretching from Aleppo in Syria to the province of Diyala in Iraq.
IS-led violence has so far driven an estimated 1.2 million Iraqis from their homes.
Whole communities of Yazidis and Christians have been forced to flee in the north, along with Shia Iraqis, whom IS do not regard as true Muslims.
The one thing he really wants to know is whether whoever forms the next government will stump up the cash he asked for at the end of the parliament.
The future of the NHS featured prominently in the televised leaders' debate on Thursday, but so far there has been a certain amount of ambiguity from the major parties about whether they will commit to the extra funding which NHS chiefs believe is necessary to keep the service on an even keel.
Cast your mind back to last October when Simon Stevens unveiled his 'Five Year View' for the NHS in England.
The document, agreed with regulators and major health organisations, was widely acclaimed.
Mr Stevens, only six months into the job, predicted that by 2020 there would be a gap between anticipated demand for health care in England and what the NHS was able to provide with an inflation-proofed budget.
That gap, he said, would be around £30bn.
Much of the 'Five Year View' focussed on how the NHS would work differently to keep people healthier and out of hospital if possible.
A more joined-up approach between primary and acute care providers would mean a more effective use of resources.
He argued, backed by the health sector regulators, that £22bn of the gap could be dealt with by efficiency savings and new ways of working.
That was a highly ambitious target but it still left £8bn which the head of NHS England said should be provided by the government.
The Stevens plan quickly achieved cross-party support.
The NHS seemed to be signing up to a degree of heavy lifting and was not demanding a blank cheque.
George Osborne was impressed with the Stevens approach and soon afterwards agreed to find £2bn extra for the NHS in England for the 2015/16 financial year.
Across the party divide heads were nodded with approval when the Simon Stevens blueprint was mentioned.
There was a tacit acceptance of the 'Five Year View'.
So where are we now with Simon Stevens' request for an extra £8bn of annual funding for the NHS by 2020?
The only major party to commit to that extra spending is the Liberal Democrats.
Nick Clegg reaffirmed that on the first full day of the campaign while arguing that a certain amount would be earmarked for mental health.
But funding (in the shape of tax measures) for only £1bn of that has been identified by the Lib Dems.
The rest will come from "the proceeds of economic growth" - in other words the funding is subject to the economy expanding sufficiently to provide sufficient tax revenue.
Labour has not, so far, signed up to the £8bn of extra annual funding in 2020.
The party has promised £2.5bn extra per year for the NHS, paid for by the mansion tax and other revenue-raising measures.
When I interviewed Ed Miliband in January he stopped short of endorsing the Stevens calculations.
Labour instead is sticking to its £2.5bn plan which it says is fully and robustly funded.
As for the Conservatives, David Cameron told the Radio 4 Today programme he was "confident" the Stevens plan could be met in full.
But he repeatedly steered clear of making a commitment to providing the £8bn.
The Conservative position is that a £30bn funding gap in 2020 sounds realistic but the details of precisely how it might be dealt with will only be thrashed out in a post- election spending review.
UKIP, meanwhile, says it wants to see an extra £3bn annually put into the NHS funded in part by raising money from "health tourists" and cuts in middle management.
The Greens say they want to protect public funding of the NHS.
The National Health Action Party is campaigning for 4% annual increases in health spending funded by a one penny in the pound increase in income tax.
So where does that leave Simon Stevens and his desire for £8bn at the end of the next parliament?
In the election campaign so far he hasn't heard any firmer commitments.
He probably won't glean much more by polling day.
Then will come the hard part - with Mr Stevens having to haggle with the new government for every penny and pound he can get and all against the backdrop of another tough spending review across Whitehall.
This issue includes NHS funding, GP access and social care, particularly of older people.

The 19-year-old was attacked in Slatyford, Newcastle just before 02:00 BST. It happened on a path near the A1, around the area of Bowness Road and Tebay Drive.
A number of people were thought to be in the area at the time and may have information, a Northumbria Police spokeswoman said.
The force has appealed for anyone who saw anything to contact police.
Owain Vaughan from Glynneath was rushed to Morriston Hospital, Swansea on Friday after suffering fits and being violently sick.
Owain, who is now recovering at home, said: "I was terrified. I thought I was going to die."
He said he was told the substance was legal, so he assumed it was safe to take.
"All the symptoms hit me within 10 seconds," said Owain. "I collapsed, hit the floor and started fitting. It hit me as soon as I inhaled it."
Owain's story came to light after his mother, Jennie Vaughan, posted pictures on social media of her son in his hospital bed.

Suzy Favor Hamilton was a middle-distance runner who represented the US in three Olympic Games before becoming an escort in Las Vegas as she struggled with bipolar disorder. Listen to her story on Stephen Nolan, 12 February, 23:30 GMT on BBC Radio 5 live.
There is a history of mental illness in my family. My brother lived with bipolar disorder and the household was often chaotic as a result.
Our family never discussed it. To the outside, we looked like the Brady Bunch. Looking back, there were signs something was not quite right with me either.
WATCH: Suzy Favor Hamilton talks to Stephen Nolan on 5 live
I did everything at a mile a minute and couldn't focus for the life of me. Growing up, I lived with an eating disorder, had suicidal thoughts and a suicide attempt in college, then experienced severe anxiety when I raced. But I kept it all in, trying to maintain the facade of the perfect Midwestern girl, strong and powerful.
If others noticed any problems, they looked the other way. I usually won, and they liked it that way.
Running seemed to be the one thing in life that quietened my brain, and because of that, I loved to run and grew to obsess about it.
I saw my winning races have a positive effect on my family, namely my parents. I strangely grew to feel that my success could make this a happy family, and take away any silent pain we were experiencing as a result of my brother's odd behaviour.
My running career was highly successful. I won more NCAA Championships than anybody ever had. I won seven US Championship titles between 1991 and 2004, set a couple of American records, and made the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympic teams.
I won a lot, but tended to "choke" at the big, big meets. I didn't know why and it ate at me. My body would just tighten up on me unexpectedly towards the end of a race. Like I was running with a piano on my back. I even fell on purpose in the 1500m final at the Sydney Olympics when, as the favourite, I knew I would not medal with 50 metres to go.
That was easier to swallow than failure. I wanted so badly to win that one for my family, to ease the pain of losing my brother Dan to suicide the year before.
Incredibly, I never thought of myself as having any kind of brain disorder. All I knew was that I dreaded competing. Filled with anxiety most often, I could not wait to retire, but I marched on to please others.
Finally, in 2005, I got pregnant. Having a child would be my way out. This was my excuse, and I could not wait to be a mom. I would have a baby, maybe two, and live a life of perfect happiness. But that's not what happened.
Months after having my beautiful daughter, I was in a dark place.
A new "real world" job in real estate, a suddenly strained marriage, a disintegrating relationship with my siblings, strain with my parents, a miscarriage, then another, feelings of inadequacy of being a mother. It was building up.
All I knew was that I had to hold my daughter all the time. I could not let go. I had no motivation to run. I rocked myself constantly. I was irritable like never before. And then I decided I wanted to run my car off the road, into a tree. I just wanted the pain to stop.
Thankfully, I thought of my daughter, resisted those thoughts, made it home, and told my husband.
Soon, I saw a doctor, was diagnosed with post-partum depression, put on anti-depressants, and things improved. Years passed. Triggers intensified. I was getting by, but had grown to detest the side-effects. I felt fat, sluggish, unmotivated. I stopped taking the drug that had been keeping me somewhat stable.
It didn't take long, but before I knew it, I was in that dark place again. Suicidal. Triggers everywhere. My marriage was deteriorating. My family was driving me crazy. I had a modest speaking career, but they insisted I not publicly speak about my mental illness or my brother's bipolar and suicide. I hated my real estate job. I just wanted to escape.
My doctor put me on another anti-depressant. The effects were immediate. I felt great. I felt beyond great. I felt alive. I wanted to live. Time for my fantasies to now become a reality.
Our 20th wedding anniversary was coming up. A nice dinner date out on the town with flowers perhaps? Not for me. I wanted to go to Vegas, jump out of a plane, hire an escort, have a threesome. Bucket list stuff I never thought I would actually do. Never. I wanted it now.
Skydiving was amazing, something I would never dare do, but I was doing it. Then the threesome. Now this was life changing. I was a new woman.
How had I been missing out? Freedom. I wanted sex. It was all I could think about. Our marriage was on fumes.
I asked for and was granted permission to stray. An open relationship we would try. Divorce was not an option, not for my daughter or for business. To keep things steady, or at least seemingly steady.
Over the next six months, I made several trips to Las Vegas on my own. First meeting with a male escort, then hooking up with men I met at casino bars, then insisting on gifts in exchange for sex. And then the light bulb flashed. I wouldn't hire the escort. I would be the escort.
Within months, I was the number two-ranked escort in Vegas (yes, there actually are rankings out there), and top 10 in the world. I was never happier, never higher, never more alive.
For the first time in my life, I was independent, could take care of myself. I loved the taboo, the riskiness, the slight danger to it all, and I always had to take it a step further. It was never quite enough.
The money was intoxicating, but not the driving force. It was the thrill, the risk, the taboo, the attention, the power, the sex. All the while, an infuriated Mark covered for me, protecting my reputation, raising our child, keeping the real estate business going on his own, while I was off, totally out of control.
A year into my life as an escort, I was outed by a jilted client. A tabloid told of my activities to the world. My life had been taken away.
Suicidal thoughts crept back in. The world came crashing down on me. My husband would leave, take my child, my parents would abandon me, as would my friends, or so I believed.
To save these relationships, I felt compelled for once to seek help, even if for appearance sake.
Admittedly, I was beginning to feel there was something wrong with me after months of denial. This was the first time I had ever visited a psychiatrist. I tried my best to fool him that I was fine, that I could continue with my life "as is".
But within a couple of weeks, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, weaned off the anti-depressant that the doctor believed had driven me to a mostly constant manic state over the past year and a half.
The process of recovery would begin, slowly, with several bumps and relapses along the way.
My husband did not leave. He did not take my daughter from me. My parents failed to understand why, but they stuck with me, loved me the best they knew how.
Friends bailed on me, but many remained, though confused by it all. I had some support in the athletics world, but some considered me an embarrassment to the sport and wanted me to just go away. I also had to quit the real world job as it was not good for my bipolar.
How did the sweet, innocent Suzy wind up here?
My bipolar is manageable now. I learned to feel no shame for what I did. Regrets yes, but no shame. Shame holds you back and prevents recovery.
What hurts most though is what I put my loved ones through. My journey, as odd as it was, moulded me into a person I'm happier with.
I have more of a voice. I'm more independent. I'm a better wife, mother and friend as a result. I teach yoga and I am a public speaker on mental health matters. I'm healthier than I ever have been, I believe. I've found healthy coping mechanisms. I'm more compassionate than ever as I know what it's like to be shamed and shunned on an intimate level.
I'll never be cured, and I'll live with bipolar for the rest of my life. I know it won't always be smooth sailing ahead. But I'll always know that as dark as things might get in the future, it always gets better.
But disruption was better managed than previous nights, the union said, with extra security and riot officers helping to control the situation.
It is unclear if migrants accessed UK-bound vehicles, they said.
It comes as French police figures suggested 70% of migrants processed in Calais leave within four months.
"They cannot ascertain whether these migrants leave to go elsewhere in France, or whether they enter the UK," Kent Police Chief Constable Alan Pughsley told the UK Parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee.
The prime minister's official spokeswoman stressed there was "no evidence" all of those leaving Calais were reaching the UK.
"Indeed, there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that some will be seeking opportunities elsewhere in France or elsewhere in Europe," she added.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond will later chair a meeting of the government's Cobra contingencies committee to discuss the latest on the crisis.
Eurotunnel passenger services are currently disrupted, with trains leaving later than planned, and some DFDS ferry sailings are also delayed.
It is estimated there are 3,000 migrants in the Calais area, and many are continuing their attempts to reach the UK by crossing the Channel.
There have been thousands of attempts to access the Eurotunnel terminal in recent weeks. Nine people have died trying to access the tunnel since the start of June.
Some attempt to stow away on lorries headed for the Eurotunnel, or climb or cut security fences to try to hide on Eurotunnel shuttles.
The French police union said 1,000 people were pushed back by a line of riot police on Sunday night. Some 700 were physically removed from the freight terminal or restrained, they said.
One man was arrested and a police officer was left with minor facial injuries after being hit by a rock.
The figures do not necessarily mean 1,700 people tried to make it into the Channel Tunnel, the BBC's Gavin Lee said, as some may have made more than one attempt during the course of the night.
The number of intrusions was the highest since last Monday night, according to the figures, which also revealed:
No figures for Saturday night were released.

The word amongst the migrants in the so called "Jungle" camp is that Monday night will be the biggest attempt so far to break into the Channel Tunnel freight terminal.
Whether it's rumour or reality, French riot police are already preparing for another big test of their security operation, with officers stationed at potentially vulnerable spots along the terminal's 10 mile perimeter.
Meanwhile, the dynamic has changed at the Jungle, six miles away from the terminal.
Some of the estimated 3,000 migrants who've been living rough in makeshift tents have abandoned the camp and are now sleeping in fields closer to the train terminal in Coquelles, presenting a new problem for police trying to monitor increasingly separate groups.
Measures have been brought in to try to tackle the situation in Calais, including police reinforcements, new fencing and surveillance, and a safe zone for UK-bound lorries.
Prime Minister David Cameron has warned illegal immigrants who reach Britain will be deported.
On Monday, it was announced landlords in England would be expected to evict tenants who lose the right to remain in the UK, under new measures to clamp down on illegal immigration.
The director of public affairs for Eurotunnel, John Keefe, said measures to discourage people from coming to Britain in the first place may work in the long term, but wouldn't solve the situation in Calais.
He said the "major problem" was the thousands of migrants living and moving around the Calais area "at will".
"And until the government can do something about removing that group of people and stopping the flow directly to Calais, we're going to remain in this situation," he said.

Richard Broughton died in hospital on 30 April, two days after being knocked down by a car in Welland Crescent.
It is thought the 37-year-old had been involved in an "altercation" before being struck by the vehicle.
A man was arrested on Friday on suspicion of murder and is in custody, South Yorkshire Police said. Two other men have already been questioned.
John Paul Jones, 23, of Welland Crescent, appeared before Barnsley Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with affray and witness intimidation.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 31 May.
A 35-year-old man arrested on suspicion of violent disorder had released under investigation while inquiries continue, the force said.
Yanghee Lee said the situation in Rakhine was "really grave" and it was time for Ms Suu Kyi to "step in".
Her comments came as the number of Rohingya fleeing to Bangladesh reached 87,000, according to UN estimates.
That is more than the exodus after the October 2016 violence in Rakhine.
Both outpourings were sparked by attacks by Rohingya militants on police posts which triggered a crackdown by the Burmese military.
The Rohingya are a stateless Muslim ethnic minority who have faced persecution in Myanmar. Many of those who have fled describe troops and Rakhine Buddhist mobs burning their villages and attacking civilians.
Satellite images show many fires across northern parts of the state, and Human Rights Watch has released an image which it says shows that more than 700 homes were razed in one Rohingya village.
The military says it is fighting a campaign against Rohingya militants who are attacking civilians. Independently verifying the situation on the ground is very difficult because access is restricted.
The UN special rapporteur said the scale of the destruction this time, compared to October, was "far greater".
"The de facto leader needs to step in - that is what we would expect from any government, to protect everybody within their own jurisdiction," she said.
Her sentiments were echoed by Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai, who said she was waiting to hear from Ms Suu Kyi - who has not commented on the crisis since it erupted.
"The world is waiting and Rohingya Muslims are waiting," Ms Yousafzai said.

Ms Su Kyi, who lived under house arrest for years for her pro-democracy activism, is not the president but is widely seen as Myanmar's head of government.
She has been criticised in the past for failing to admonish the powerful military, which ruled Myanmar for decades and retains 25% of parliamentary seats.
Ms Lee said that Ms Suu Kyi was "caught between a rock and a hard spot", but added: "I think it is time for her to come out of that spot now."
Muslim nations in South East Asia and further afield are voicing concern over the plight of the Rohingya, and some small protests have been reported.
On Sunday a small petrol bomb was thrown at the Myanmar embassy in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. Protests have also been held and on Monday Indonesia's Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi met Myanmar's military chief to ask him to alleviate the crisis. Ms Retno is due to meet Ms Suu Kyi later in the day.
In Malaysia, which is home to tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees, Prime Minister Najib Razak hit out at the "dire situation" facing the Rohingya.

The Maldives says it is severing all economic ties with Myanmar until it stops violating the Rohingyas' human rights, while Pakistan's foreign ministry said it was "deeply concerned over reports of growing number of deaths and forced displacement of Rohingya Muslims".
In Central Asia's Kyrgyzstan, a football international with Myanmar has been cancelled, apparently because of a plan by some social media users to protest ahead of the Asian Cup qualifier.
Since the militant attacks on 25 August, Rohingya families have been streaming north to the border. Dozens are reported to have died trying to cross the Naf river which forms part of the border.
Bangladesh border police are allowing the refugees in, despite government orders to stop them, a BBC correspondent on the border says.
A border guard told AFP news agency that more people were arriving than last time. "If it continues then we will face serious problems. But it's impossible to stop the flow, these people are everywhere," he said.
Vivian Tan, a spokeswomen for UN refugee body UNHCR, who is on the Bangladesh border, said people arriving at refugee camps were "in very bad shape".
"They say they have not eaten for days, not since they fled their homes. They've been surviving on either groundwater or rainwater. They've been walking for days, they're physically exhausted, they're probably traumatised.
"We're seeing a lot of women and very young children, some newborn, and these babies have been exposed to the elements for days so they're very very weak and they need medical attention.
"The numbers are really alarming and they are growing," she said. | Three suspects have been charged with chaining four mentally disabled adults in a basement in Philadelphia and collecting their disability benefits.

Inflation in the 19-nation bloc hit 2% in February, according to Eurostat, up from a rate of 1.8% the month before.
The rate is the highest since January 2013 and is slightly above the ECB's target of just below 2%.
However, the increase in inflation is largely due to rising energy prices, and analysts do not expect the ECB to alter its current stimulus programme.
In December, the ECB said it would extend its bond-buying programme until at least December 2017, although the €80bn-a-month quantitative easing (QE) scheme will be trimmed to €60bn a month from April.
The bank has cut its main interest rate to zero and embarked on the bond-buying programme to try to stimulate growth in the eurozone and avoid deflation, or falling prices.
Although inflation is now above its target rate, February's core inflation rate - which strips out the impact of energy and food prices - was unchanged at 0.9%.
The ECB is due to meet next week, but Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Markit, said: "We believe the ECB will remain wedded to its current monetary policy stance.
"The ECB has made it very clear that it wants to see sustained, decisive evidence that underlying eurozone inflationary pressures are picking up."
Separate figures from Eurostat found that the unemployment rate in the eurozone remained unchanged at 9.6% in January, which is the lowest rate since May 2009.
Eurostat estimates that the number of unemployed people in the eurozone fell by 56,000 to 15.6 million. | Eurozone inflation has risen above the European Central Bank's (ECB) target rate for the first time in four years. | 39,139,972 | 361 | 28 | false |

The federal heritage committee is discussing the future of media in the country.
Committee chair Hedy Fry says in the past few months witnesses have repeatedly raised the issue of "false news and the post-truth era".
She says the concerns have "galvanised" the committee.
"We saw what happened in the United States," the Liberal MP said. "The United States woke everybody up."
"You had people making up stories and putting it out there. You had people judging a person's character, making a decision about policy based on total fabrication and going out there and voting on that."
Fictional news became an issue during the US presidential election, with fake news websites springing up during the campaign.
The misleading, sensationalist stories spread widely on social media.
"This is a brand new horse that's bolted out of the stable and people are still chasing the horse trying to find out what's going on," said Ms Fry.
The committee began looking at the impact digital technology has had on Canada's media industry in February. It expects to table its final report with recommendations next spring.
The MPs have heard from more than 120 witnesses, including representatives from Facebook, Google, and the country's largest media companies.
University of Calgary assistant professor Gregory Taylor, who researches media and democracy, told the BBC that the suggestion of increased regulation was often enough for companies like Google and Facebook to take notice.
"Just the threat of government being involved can have an impact," he said, pointing to Germany, where Facebook, Google and Twitter recently agreed a deal to remove hate speech posted on their websites within 24 hours.
The White House has also weighed in on phony content concerns. This month, press secretary Josh Earnest said false news had a "corrosive effect" on American society after a North Carolina man was arrested for firing a rifle inside a pizza restaurant in Washington DC that was the target of a fake US election story.
The Pope and President Barack Obama have also criticised the spread of fake news online and its potential impact.
Facebook has already announced new features to help combat fabricated news stories.
In November, it also teamed up with Internet search giant Google to restrict advertisements on sites carrying false content.
But Ms Fry said this was a complex issue with no easy solutions.
"How do you ensure people get verifiable news without impacting the freedom of the press?" she asked.

Thaddeus Ma Daqin, Shanghai's auxiliary bishop, announced his resignation from China's Patriotic Catholic Association at his ordination mass on Saturday.
Catholic media and other religious sources say he has been confined in a seminary near Shanghai.
There has been longstanding tension between Beijing and the Vatican.
The Vatican, which appointed Bishop Ma, does not recognise the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association (CPCA). The Chinese church in turn rejects the Pope's authority.
By John SudworthBBC News, Shanghai
Rumour had it that Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin had been taken to the Sheshan Seminary, the old church on the outskirts of Shanghai, where he trained to be a priest.
He is said to have so upset the government that it felt the need to remove him from public view.
When we visited the seminary, we found a quiet church set high up on a hill, and a sleepy priest training centre undergoing construction work in the valley below.
There was no sign of the missing bishop and no sign of any security officials. Most priests, we were told, had left for their holidays.
Mystery of China's missing bishop
The BBC's John Sudworth in Shanghai says Bishop Ma appears to have been silenced - his announcement that he intended to resign from the CPCA apparently sent shock waves through the official hierarchy.
China's estimated 10 million Catholics are split between followers of the Pope and the CPCA.
Reports said Bishop Ma told a 1,000-strong congregation that he was stepping down from the governing body to focus on his new responsibilities. This drew loud applause, said a report in the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post newspaper.
But analysts say the move was seen as a challenge to Chinese state control over Catholic churches and clergy.
Bishop Ma did not return for mass on Sunday and is said to have been taken away to a seminary in Shanghai and forbidden contact with others, according to an Associated Press report, citing Catholic researcher Anthony Lam and the AsiaNews and UCAnews websites.
A close friend of the bishop has told the BBC that Bishop Ma has now been forced to undertake "a period of reflection" in private, and one that might last for months.
"He has chosen belief over freedom," the friend said.
The vice chairman of the CPA, Liu Bainian, has also said that he is awaiting the results of an investigation into Bishop Ma, according to Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper.
China broke off diplomatic relations with the Vatican in 1951, but in recent years tensions between Beijing and Rome had eased somewhat, with the occasional visit by a senior Vatican cardinal.
Relations suffered a setback in 2010 with the consecration of the first Chinese bishop for almost five years without the approval of Rome.
Last week the Chinese authorities ordained a bishop in the northern city of Harbin without the approval of the Vatican.
The Matildas want their annual 21,000 Australian dollars (£9,634) salary increased to A$40,000 (£18,339).
The move is part of a dispute over pay and conditions for the men's and women's game.
Football Federation Australia (FFA) said the union representing the players had made "extraordinary demands" which meant the tour could not take place.
More than 60,000 tickets had been sold for the two matches against world champions the USA, in Detroit and Birmingham, Alabama on 17 and 20 September.
The tour had been in doubt when the squad pulled out of a training camp. Australia goalkeeper Lydia Williams stated that the decision to withdraw had been "extremely difficult", but necessary to make FFA take their claims seriously.
The previous Collective Bargaining Agreement expired on 30 June and there has since been a bitter public relations war with no new deal reached so far, meaning that the women's squad have not been paid in two months.
Last week, the men's team boycotted commercial appearances in Perth in the run-up to their World Cup qualifier against Bangladesh.
Gallop said the wage increases that players union Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) was demanding for the Socceroos, men's A-League players and the Matildas could not be met. He claimed that the FFA had offered an interim deal to the players' union.
"This (A-League) is a competition in which the clubs lost a collective A$17m last season," Gallop said.
"What we have today is an extraordinary situation in which the two male playing groups in the Socceroos and A-League continue to be paid by FFA and A-League clubs, but the female players aren't being paid. This could have been fixed today if the PFA had accepted the interim deal."
Traffic information company Inrix said four roads are likely to have delays of more than an hour.
Motorways are expected to be congested towards Devon, Cornwall, the Kentish coast and South Wales.
Inrix has predicted up to 95 minute delays along the M25 between Reigate Hill and Heathrow Airport.
The company said the busiest period is likely to be between 11:00 and 18:30 BST.
Families collecting their children from school on the last day of term for many English pupils will mix with ordinary commuting traffic, it added.
Heathrow Airport said Friday was set to be its busiest departure day of the summer with 131,546 passengers passing through.
Separate research by the RAC predicts Saturday will be the busiest day of the weekend, with traffic peaking between 11:00 and 18:00.
The RAC predicts 36.5 million "leisure" journeys in the first fortnight of the school holidays.
It said drivers would experience "customary chaos" and warned of traffic hotspots on motorways to popular destinations.
RAC traffic spokesman Rod Dennis said: "This weekend will bring unwelcome customary chaos to Britain's major roads as people flock to take advantage of the first week or two of the summer holidays on home soil.
"While not as busy as Easter, which is typically the pinnacle of leisure traffic due to it being the first break for several months, the Great British summer holiday getaway begins with an initial rush for the roads this weekend as that's when the majority of schools break up.

"Sadly, for many, the summer holiday might begin stressfully as long tailbacks are inevitable, particularly in the South West on the M5 which is the main conduit to the beaches of Devon and Cornwall."
A new stretch of dual carriageway on the A30 west of Temple should provide some relief for drivers heading to Cornwall, he said.

There are hundreds of 178 sets of roadworks planned for motorway and major trunk roads where the delay to journeys is expected to be more than 30 minutes.
Highways England will not be lifting roadworks for the weekend. It only does so when a getaway coincides with a bank holiday, such as at Christmas or Easter.
Most planned roadworks are taking place overnight Friday into Saturday.
They include:
Highways England chief executive Jim O'Sullivan said: "I want all drivers to arrive at their destinations safely during the summer holidays. We are urging motorists to make sure they are ready to go on their journeys by checking their fuel, tyres and oil. With a few simple checks everyone will be safer."
Figures from the organisation revealed 22 drivers a day broke down last July and August because they had run out of fuel.
The RAC's figures are based on the travel plans of 3,100 motorists, with 36.5 million leisure journeys expected between Friday 21 July and Sunday 6 August.
A late goal from Desire Oparanozie was enough for Nigeria to retain the trophy they won in Namibia two years ago.
The Super Falcons have dominated this competition, winning all but two of the ten editions played so far.
In a repeat of the 2014 final, Cameroon finished as runners-up again despite enjoying massive home support.
In front of Cameroon president Paul Biya, the hosts had the best of the first half, with a number of chances for Aboudi Onguene, but the Indomitable Lionesses failed to make the most of their opportunities.
In the second half, Oparanozie, who also scored Nigeria's winner against South Africa in their semi-final, hit the decisive goal again when she broke the deadlock seven minutes from time.
She followed through on a pass from the tournament's leading scorer Asisat Oshoala to give her team the trophy.
The winning goal from Nigeria was a huge blow for the hosts and the thousands of fans who filled the 40,000 capacity Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium more than five hours before kick-off.
Security in the stadium was stepped up for the final because of the presence of President Paul Biya and roads were blocked for several kilometres around the stadium since early morning.
Thousands more supporters were locked outside after tickets were given out free as "invites".
There were three fan parks around Yaounde set up for people to see the game.
Ghana finished as bronze medallists after a 1-0 win over South Africa on Friday.
The pair were found at a property in Floodgate Street, Digbeth, on Thursday.
Officers from West Midlands Police went to the address at about 14:30 BST while looking for a missing woman on behalf of the Thames Valley force.
Police do not believe anyone else was involved in the deaths and it is understood the incident is being treated as a murder-suicide.
The man was aged 55 and the woman was 49-years-old, West Midlands Police believe.
Post-mortem examinations are due to be completed on Saturday and formal identification has not yet taken place, the force said.
Farook and his wife killed 14 people in the California city last December before police fatally shot them.
A court order demands Apple help circumvent security software on Farook's iPhone, which the FBI said contains crucial information.
The BBC understands Apple will contest the order.
Since a software update released in September 2014, data on Apple devices - such as text messages and photographs - have been encrypted by default.
It means if a device is locked, only the passcode can be used to access the data. If 10 incorrect attempts at the code are made, the device will automatically erase all of its data.
No-one, not even Apple, is able to access the data - a move the company, like several other tech firms in Silicon Valley, made following the Edward Snowden revelations into government surveillance.
The FBI has asked Apple to do two things.
First, it wants the company to alter Farook's iPhone so that investigators can make unlimited attempts at the passcode without the risk of erasing the data.
Secondly, they want Apple to help implement a way to rapidly try different passcode combinations, to save tapping in each one manually.
Farook is understood to have used a four-digit passcode, meaning there are 10,000 possible combinations.
The FBI wants to use what is known as a "brute force" attack: literally trying out every combination until stumbling across the correct one and unlocking the phone.
Apple has yet to respond publicly to the order.
However, a source close to the proceedings told the BBC that Apple will likely contest the demand.
In the past, the company has fought strongly against calls to access users' personal data, saying it would jeopardise the trust it has with its customers.
On its website, Apple says: "For all devices running iOS 8 and later versions, Apple will not perform iOS data extractions in response to government search warrants because the files to be extracted are protected by an encryption key that is tied to the user's passcode, which Apple does not possess."
This latest order is unique in that it acknowledges Apple cannot access the data. Instead, it asks the company to make it possible for police to take a trial-and-error approach.
Other smartphones, including those powered by Google Android, also implement similar encryption technology on their devices.

Del Potro came through 6-4 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 7-5 to leave the best-of-five tie locked at 1-1 after day one.
"I was nervous after I lost the second set, in the end I had to take the longer road to victory," he said.
Marin Cilic had earlier given Croatia the lead with a thrilling 6-3 7-5 3-6 1-6 6-2 win over Federico Delbonis.
Del Potro added: "The atmosphere was fantastic. Our fans were great but the Croatian fans were brilliant too and showed us a lot of respect. It was an exhausting match but I think I will be OK for the rest of the weekend."
Croatia's Ivan Dodig and Frank Skugor will take on Argentina's Leonardo Mayer and Guido Pella in Saturday's doubles.
The home side won their first and to date only Davis Cup title in 2005, while Argentina, who beat reigning champions Great Britain in the semi-finals, hope to finally win the title after losing in four previous finals.
Cilic, the highest-ranked player in the tie at sixth in the world, let a two-set lead slip before prevailing against Delbonis in three hours and 30 minutes.
"The crowd helped me to stay in there, it was not easy," said Cilic.
"Federico played great tennis from the middle of the third set to the end of the fourth. Just at the beginning of the fifth, I tried mentally to stay in there and get that break, and it was a huge difference."
Police said they were called to Welley Road in Horton, Berkshire, at about 22:40 BST, where they found two men in their 30s with serious injuries.
Four men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, after what detectives said was an "isolated incident".
Police said three men from Slough, aged 24, 25 and 28, and a fourth suspect, remain in custody.
Det Sgt Dean Brown, said: "There will be an increased police presence in the area whilst our inquiry is ongoing and for reassurance.
"We are asking anyone who might have information in connection with this incident to please call 101."
Aparecida Schunck, 67, the mother of Mr Ecclestone's wife Fabiana Flosi, was abducted from her home in Sao Paulo on 22 July, but was rescued on Saturday.
A $36.5m (£28m) ransom was demanded for her release but none was paid.
Pilot Jorge Eurico da Silva Faria is one of three people seized by police.
Mr Silva Faria is the alleged mastermind of the attack.
Ms Schunck was freed after being traced to a house near Sao Paulo after investigators monitored phone calls between the kidnappers and her family.
Shortly after she was freed, Ms Schunck told Brazilian media: "I only ask for these bandits to be jailed so they can't abduct anyone else in Sao Paulo."
The BBC understands that Mr Ecclestone had wanted to come to Brazil to help with the investigation and had even offered the services of a private security company to deal with the kidnappers.
Mr Ecclestone, 85, is one of the most powerful men in sport and is worth an estimated $3.1bn (£2.3bn).
He married Ms Flosi, 38, in 2012, three years after meeting her at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Up to 300 riders are expected to take part in the Lowther Hills Snowball Sportive, which starts in Scotland's highest village, Wanlockhead.
They will cycle up the Mennock Pass, one of the UK's tallest climbs, before a mountain top finish at Lowther Hill.
It has been organised by the south of Scotland's only ski club, to allow them to buy a snowgroomer vehicle.
Lowther Hills Ski Club chairman Anjo Abelaira said the community-owned club needs £10,000 for the equipment.
He wants to develop permanent ski facilities at Wanlockhead and Leadhills.
In the Snowball Sportive, participants will climb a 611m (2,004ft) vertical ascent over 15.2km (9.4 miles) before finishing at Lowther Hill.
Event director Alan Anderson said it reflects a surge in popularity of the Lowther Hills as the outdoor capital of the south of Scotland.
"The event's routes feature some of the most dramatic scenery in the south of Scotland and our longest route takes on six major climbs on the course, including three of the toughest in Scotland: Devil's Beef Tub, Talla and Lowther Hill.
"We envisage the event going from strength to strength in the coming years, becoming a very popular event and delivering great benefits for the local area."
It will be staged on 4 October.
Vote Leave claims £50m a day is being sent to Brussels - money it says could be spent instead on building hospitals and reducing pressures on the NHS.
But Britain Stronger in Europe says that figure is wrong - and leaving the EU would harm the health service.
Opinion polls suggest the referendum is too close to call with 10 weeks to go.
In the main campaign developments so far:
The NHS has emerged as the chief battleground on day one of the official campaign, with Leave campaigners calling for a large slice of the UK's net contribution to the EU's coffers - which it says amounts to £350m a week - to be pumped into the NHS instead.
Laura Kuenssberg: Leave campaign claims aimed at undecided voters
"I think we ought to decide ourselves how we spend that money and I would suggest we spend it on the NHS," said Gisela Stuart, the Labour MP and co-chair of the cross-party Vote Leave group.
"The NHS is under tremendous pressure, people have to wait longer whether it is for treatment or for A&E and I think £350m would be better spent on the NHS."
Reality Check: Would Brexit mean extra £350m a week for NHS?
We've said it before and we'll say it again - the UK does not send £350m a week to Brussels - the rebate is deducted before the money is sent, which takes the contribution down to £276m a week.
That figure includes £88m a week spent in the UK on things like regional aid and support for farmers. The government could decide after a Brexit that it should take that money away from farmers and give it instead to the NHS, but it might be an unpopular decision in rural areas.

Reality Check: Do EU migrants put pressure on NHS?
Her message is being echoed by Conservative heavyweights, such as Mr Johnson and Justice Secretary Michael Gove, key figures in the Leave movement.
"At the moment the money we give to the European Union is spent by others, people we have never elected and never chosen and can't remove," Mr Gove said.
"If that money is taken back, that £50m a day will be spent on British people's priorities and the NHS is top of people's list."
Britain Stronger in Europe - the main Remain campaign - has said the £350m figure is inaccurate because the UK gets a large chunk of its membership fee back through the UK's annual rebate, money which is already spent in a number of areas, including on farming subsidies.
Its executive director Will Straw described Vote Leave's arguments as "unedifying speculation" and claimed several of its supporters wanted to privatise the NHS.
And the TUC said the NHS, which costs £2.25bn a week to run and is reliant on migrant labour, would face a staffing crisis if the UK was to vote to leave the EU.
The BBC's political correspondent Iain Watson said there was likely to be a lot of trading of statistics during the campaign, with some opinions stated as facts.
Addressing the broader economic case for remaining in the UK, Lord Darling, who was Labour chancellor from 2007 to 2010, warned against choosing "isolation rather than influence".
In a speech in London, the Labour peer - who led the successful Better Together campaign in the Scottish independence referendum - argued the referendum was "not about sovereignty" because the UK "is a sovereign nation and will remain so".

Who's who: The Remain campaign
The Labour peer rejected claims that the Remain campaign was using the same tactics as Better Together did in 2014 - dubbed "Project Fear" by its opponents - saying he made "no apology" for exposing his opponents' "fear of the spotlight of legitimate scrutiny".
"It is not Project Fear. In truth, it is a reality check. The kind anyone would rightly take before making an enormous decision affecting their lives."
Speaking in Washington, ahead of a visit by US President Barack Obama to the UK next week, George Osborne said it was the "overwhelming view" of foreign governments and international institutions such as IMF and Nato that the UK should remain.
Asked whether he agreed with the Remain campaign's claim that mortgage rates would go up in the event of EU exit, Mr Osborne said this was a matter for the Bank of England but it was a widely held view that "prices would rise, jobs would be lost and living standards would fall".
But Vote Leave chief executive Matthew Elliott said: "Less than 24 hours in and the pro-EU camp are already panicking - resorting to doing down the economy and people's mortgages to intimidate the British public into voting their way."
At a Brexit rally in Manchester, Boris Johnson said one of the most "depressing things about the campaign to Bremain" is that "there is not a shred of idealism" - but Labour accused him of "talking down Britain's influence".
"The EU, they say - it's crap but we have no alternative," Mr Johnson said.
"Well we do have an alternative, and it is a glorious alternative, a relationship with Europe based not on the whims of unelected bureaucrats but on cooperation between elected governments."
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has, meanwhile, challenged David Cameron to a face-to-face debate as he delivered a letter to Downing Street protesting at the government's pro-EU £9m leaflet campaign.
Mr Farage, who took on former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg during the 2014 European elections, said the government's arguments were "jammed full of lies and inaccuracies" and the prime minister must front up to "see if your claims will stand up to public scrutiny".
"Name your place and time and let's have a live, televised, head-to-head debate where we can debate one of the greatest political questions of our time," he said.
Meanwhile, Cardinal Vincent Nichols - the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales - urged parishioners to "pray for guidance" and look beyond narrow economic concerns.
However he said he believed if the UK left the EU it would face "more complex problems than we would if we were playing an active part with Europe".
"In the EU, trade is harnessed to peace. An essential feature of the EU is the peace that has been sustained in Europe since the end of the second world war."
Trans fats, also known as partially hydrogenated oils, are no longer "generally recognised as safe", said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The regulator said a ban could prevent 7,000 deaths and 20,000 heart attacks in the US each year.
The FDA is opening a 60-day consultation period on the plan, which would gradually phase out trans fats.
"While consumption of potentially harmful artificial trans fat has declined over the last two decades in the United States, current intake remains a significant public health concern," FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in a statement.
"The FDA's action today is an important step toward protecting more Americans from the potential dangers of trans fat."
If the agency's plan is successful, the heart-clogging oils would be considered food additives and could not be used in food unless officially approved.
The ruling does not affect foods with naturally occurring trans fats, which are present in small amounts in certain meat and dairy products.
Source: US Food and Drug Administration
Artificial trans fats are used both in processed food and in restaurants as a way to improve the shelf life or flavour of foods. The fats are created when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil, making it a solid.
Nutritionists have long criticised their use, saying they contribute to heart disease more than saturated fat.
Some companies have already phased out trans fats, prompted by new nutritional labels introduced in 2006 requiring it to be listed on food packaging.
New York City and some other local governments have also banned it.
But trans fats persist primarily in processed foods - including some microwave popcorns and frozen pizzas - and in restaurants that use the oils for frying.
According to the FDA, trans fat intake among Americans declined from 4.6g per day in 2003 to around 1g per day in 2012.
The American Heart Association said the FDA's proposal was a step forward in the battle against heart disease.
"We commend the FDA for responding to the numerous concerns and evidence submitted over the years about the dangers of this industrially produced ingredient," said its chief executive, Nancy Brown.
Outgoing New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who led the charge to ban trans fats in that city, said the FDA plan "deserves great credit".
"The groundbreaking public health policies we have adopted here in New York City have become a model for the nation for one reason: they've worked," he said.

Lord McConnell called for a realignment of MSPs towards their constituents and less-centred on parties and for increased scrutiny of ministers. He said: "Government does a better job when it is challenged and ministers do a better job when they fear being challenged."
Looking towards the future, given the changing nature of wider global politics, was a key aim of Henry McLeish. He called for Holyrood to have "a bigger identity in Scotland because we want to strengthen our democracy and democracy, in my view, is at risk at the present time".
The former Holyrood leaders were giving evidence to the newly-formed Commission for Parliamentary Reform.
That was the case for Tracey Gamble, from Ballykelly in County Londonderry, when her two-year-old daughter Hanna took a febrile seizure last month.
"Her eyes were rolling, she was foaming at the mouth, her mouth had gone blue," Tracy said.
"Luckily, the seizure had only lasted about a minute and then she went into a deep sleep and was unresponsive.
"I just couldn't understand why my daughter was taking a seizure, a perfectly healthy child normally.
"I thought she was dying."
Dr Ahmed Khan, a consultant paediatrician, said febrile seizures can happen in children between the ages of six months and five years, and are caused by a high temperature.
"It is very common," Dr Khan said.
"Just put it into perspective, one in 20 to one in 50 children would have had a febrile seizure by the age of five in the UK and Ireland."
There are two types of febrile seizures.
Simple seizures last less than 15 minutes and do not reoccur within 24 hours, while complex seizures last longer than 15 minutes and do reoccur within 24 hours.
Dr Khan's advice for parents is to try to "recognise a seizure early on".
"Get the child into the recovery position, don't put anything into the child's mouth," he said.
"Call for help, and if the child is having a seizure for over five minutes call an ambulance."
Tracey said she feels like she has become an anxious mum since Hanna took a seizure.
And she believes it is important to make other parents and carers of young children aware of the condition.
"I think every parent should be trained in first aid at least how to manage a seizure.
"Particularly in antenatal classes, they should be covering this."

The former Llanfyllin Union Workhouse in Powys, known locally as Y Dolydd, opened in 1839 and could house up to 250 men, women and children.
Today, it is the only one of its kind in Wales which people can visit and accommodates tourists, hosts activities and has opened up a visitors' centre.
Its octagonal roof in the middle of the site needs £50,000 of repairs.
The Llanfyllin Dolydd Building Preservation Trust also eventually wants to restore the master's house to include a new entrance, lift and toilets at a cost of £100,000.
The New York Times reports that in 2015 Apple discovered that the ride-sharing company had broken its privacy rules by collecting iPhone serial numbers.
Boss Tim Cook told Uber founder Travis Kalanick to remove the "fingerprinting" code or he would ban the app from the Apple Store, the paper claims.
Apple declined to comment.
Uber said the practice of fingerprinting deterred criminals from installing its app on stolen phones, using stolen credit cards to book journeys, then wiping the phone and doing it again.
"Being able to recognise known bad actors when they try to get back on to our network is an important security measure for both Uber and our users," it said.
Security researcher Will Strafach told news site Tech Crunch that the coding in the iPhone version of the app from 2014 revealed that it was noting the device's serial number.
The New York Times also claimed Uber ringfenced Apple's Cupertino headquarters so that employees using the app there would not notice.
Cyber-security expert Prof Alan Woodward, from University of Surrey, said the act of fingerprinting is fairly common and generally not blocked by other operators - for example, if you sign into a service from a different device and get an email warning you about it, it's because there is a device ID linked to your account.
"Digital fingerprinting can be effective in tracking who goes where on the web, and it can be used to prevent fraud, but also it has the potential to invade your privacy," he said.
"Whether it should be allowed ultimately will be a matter for the legislators and not all jurisdictions will necessarily agree."
The practice is still banned by Apple.
Foreign Minister Mohammed al-Orabi has resigned while two new deputy prime ministers have been appointed.
Among protesters' demands are for corrupt officials who served under President Hosni Mubarak to be tried.
A general who went to Tahrir Square, the heart of the revolt that toppled Mr Mubarak, was booed by demonstrators.
Under intense pressure from a new wave of protests, Mr Sharaf has embarked on what are expected to be sweeping changes to his government.
Official media say up to 15 ministers are expected to be replaced in the reshuffle. It is being seen as a purge of those with links to Mr Mubarak, who was ousted in February.
Mr Orabi, considered too close to the Mubarak regime, has resigned after less than a month in the foreign minister's post.
He was going "to spare the prime minister any embarrassment during the current negotiations on the ministerial changes", Egypt's state-run Mena news agency quoted him as saying.
Mr Sharaf, who heads a caretake administration and has limited powers under the military rulers, has appointed two new deputy prime ministers.
They are economist Hazem El Beblawi, 74, and 75-year-old Ali al-Silmi, a leader of the Wafd party, Egypt's oldest political party.
The cabinet changes have taken more than week to take effect - an indication, says BBC Cairo correspondent Jon Leyne, that Mr Sharaf is in a behind-the scenes battle with the ruling military council.
The military council have meanwhile announced that they will restrict the use of military courts to try civilians - a focus of much of the opposition's anger.
Many Egyptians are becoming impatient with the military council that replaced Mr Mubarak.
Major-General Tarek el-Mahdi went to Tahrir Square on Saturday to try to persuade some protesters to end a hunger strike.
As he spoke from a podium he was booed and had shoes shaken at him in a traditional expression of contempt, forcing him to cut short his visit.
The square was at the centre of the uprising that produced Mr Mubarak's downfall and is the focus of renewed protests.
There have also been demonstrations in other cities.
Protesters want a new government, limited power for the military council, the release of civilians being tried in military tribunals, and speedy public trials for former regime officials.
Clarke-Salter, 18, has played in one Premier League match, making his Chelsea debut at Aston Villa in April.
England Under-20 international Colkett, 19, is yet to play in a senior game.
Boateng, 20, has made three appearances for Palace and made 30 for Plymouth while on loan last term, helping Argyle reach the League Two play-off final.
"These are indeed exciting times for Bristol Rovers and signing more players from a Premier League club does, I believe, show that we are serious in moving the club forward," chairman Steve Hamer told the League One club's website.

The smart suits in sober neutral colours make it hard to pick anyone out amid the thronging crowds.
A suit, sometimes with a tie sometimes without, has long been the unofficial uniform for professional males.
Yet this standard corporate wear - which masks any hint of individuality - is a problem, according to British fashion designer Ozwald Boateng, the former creative director of Givenchy.
Known for designing close-fitting, colourful suits, Mr Boateng's modern take on traditional tailoring has given him a strong following among celebrities with clients such as Will Smith and Mick Jagger.
But he says his corporate clients are sometimes shy of standing out.
"They say 'I don't want to look too good'," says Mr Boateng, chuckling.
It seems an extraordinary demand, even more so when you're being fitted for a suit by a top designer. Why on earth wouldn't they want to look their best?
"I feel a lot of them just have not got awareness of it. A lot of CEOs don't get the power image and don't get the power of their own brand that they work for."
He believes this reticence is reflected in the person's behaviour in the job: if they're unadventurous about what they wear then they're unlikely to be pushing the company forward, he says.
"When you're a leader, you need to be heard and anything that helps focus the attention of the people who work for you is key."
Of course a fashion designer - famed for making men stand out - would say this.
Beyond the world of Instagram-obsessed celebrities and super-models, surely it should be the work that you do, not the way that you look, which drives your success?
It's certainly something we'd like to believe.
When Swiss bank UBS's 44-page dress code, which advised client-facing staff on everything from appropriate underwear to the importance of regular haircuts, was leaked in 2010 it was widely mocked.
The guide said a well-groomed outward appearance helped to communicate the firm's values. It prompted derision and disbelief.
UBS may have gone overboard, but there's plenty of evidence that the bank was right to think that what you wear to work matters.
Research by Karen Pine, a psychology professor at Hertfordshire University, shows that people are judged on their overall head-to-toe appearance within seconds, and clothing is a big part of that first impression.
She found that a man in an off-the-shelf suit is judged as less successful and less flexible than his counterpart who wears a tailor-made suit, for example.
It's a finding that doesn't surprise Serge Brunschwig, chief operating officer of French fashion house Christian Dior, who says ultimately people remember how you look, not what you say.
"We always say that one image is worth 1,000 words. Leaders are going to use thousands and thousands of words but the way they dress should be used to enhance their speech.
"Nobody's going to listen really, so at the end what's going to stay is the appearance."
There is also growing evidence to suggest that appearance does not just affect how a person is perceived, but even influences how they perform.
A German study which asked people to describe their character traits when they wore either formal or casual clothing, found people were more likely to describe themselves as neat and strategic when in smart attire, and as easygoing or clumsy when dressed casually.
Fanny Moizant, the co-founder of designer fashion resale site Vestiaire Collective, says wearing the right clothes for a meeting increases her confidence.
"It's about being credible according to your position but also to your industry.
"It could seem 'light' in a way but it's how you show yourself, your personality, how you interact with people, so it's all part of how you communicate."
For men of course, the options to say something with clothing appears limited.
They have far fewer choices than a woman who can wear, dresses, skirts or trousers and a wider range of accessories than her male counterparts.
But Ms Moizant says the principles are the same: express yourself in some small way such as with your choice of tie or shirt or suit colour, while sticking to your industry's dress codes.
Some of those at the top of the business world, such as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, well known for his fondness of a hoodie and flip flops, have flagrantly disregarded the unofficial corporate dress code, but she says these are the exceptions.
He is someone who's so comprehensively "made it" that there's no need to stick to the rules, effectively it's a display of power, she says.
For the rest, the key is to find what suits you, but also what can help you subtly stand out.
"I like to encourage the individual. If you're wearing clothes where you're confident in them and you're enjoying them, then that will reflect in the way you treat everyone around you," says Mr Boateng.
"That radiates through who you are and your personality."

Silent Majority, painted during the 1998 Glastonbury Festival, shows soldier-like figures landing on a beach with a speaker in an inflatable raft.
Its Norfolk owners say it "depicts the ...rave and hip hop scene of the time".
The work is unusual for a Banksy piece, as it is largely freehand with little use of stencils.
Auction house Digard said it was thought to be one of the artist's oldest works.
The metal piece, painted over three days outside the festival's Dance Tent, measures 2.4m (7.8ft) by 9.9m (32ft).
Its message reads: "It's better not to rely too much on silent majorities ... for silence is a fragile thing... one loud noise and it's gone."
The elusive graffiti artist's team has provided a certificate of authenticity as part of the auction lot. It was painted in collaboration with fellow Bristol artist Inkie.
The owner, who prefers to be known by his first name, Nathan, said he organises infrastructure at festivals and lives in the trailer.
He said Banksy approached him in 1998 - before he rose to fame - to ask if he could use it as a canvas for a piece commissioned by the festival.
Nathan agreed, in return for some tickets and his expenses.
Now he says he has no definite plans for the proceeds although he may choose to build a house.
Street art specialist Mary McCarthy said the piece was "quite special" as an example of a Banksy work which did not rely heavily on stencils.
"This one really is a rare piece," she said.
It was one of more than 150 "urban art" pieces auctioned on Monday including work by artists Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Pure Evil and Conor Harrington.
Mr Bemba spent his youth between the Belgian and Congolese capitals - Brussels and Kinshasa - and the small remote town of Gbadolite in northern Democratic Republic of Congo known as "Versailles in the Jungle".
This was the home and last refuge of the late Congolese leader Mobutu Sese Seko.
Mr Bemba's father, the successful businessman Bemba Saolona, was very close to the former dictator.
But for him business was all that really mattered.
When Laurent Kabila's rebel force overthrew Mobutu and marched into Kinshasa in May 1997, Saolona was briefly appointed a finance minister in the new regime.
Father and son, however, have not always seen eye to eye.
Mr Bemba, who at a very young age lost his mother and has had difficult relations with his father and stepmothers, explicitly criticised his father's acquaintance with Mr Kabila in his book The Choice of Freedom.
A great admirer of controversial French businessman Bernard Tapie and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the young Bemba sought other father figures.
Perhaps his greatest influence was Mobutu himself, who employed him at the age of 30 as his personal assistant in the early 1990s.
Jean-Pierre Bemba
Another person central to his roundabout journey to becoming DR Congo's vice-president was Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
As the government battled Rwanda-backed rebel groups in eastern DR Congo, Mr Museveni helped Mr Bemba open up a new front.
He supplied troops, equipment and training when Mr Bemba launched his rebel group, the Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC), in 1998.
In only a few months, the MLC managed to capture northern DR Congo.
The military pressure he put on Mr Kabila's government eventually led to a peace deal that became the basis of a power-sharing government.
As a rebel leader, Mr Bemba became one of four vice-presidents.
After he laid down his arms in 2003, Mr Bemba was sworn in back home as a vice-president in charge of finance in the interim administration.
He became increasingly influential, gaining the support of a number of historic political figures in DR Congo, and stood for the country's presidency in 2006 - against Laurent Kabila's son, Joseph.
But he was ultimately deserted by many allies who blamed his "oversized ego" for withdrawing their support.
He managed to take the incumbent to a second round, polling especially well in western DR Congo, including the capital, Kinshasa, where many see the Swahili-speaking Kabilas as foreigners.
He claimed the run-off was rigged and was accused of refusing to disarm his militia and of unleashing violence in Kinshasa.
Mr Bemba has always denied the charges.
He was then accused of treason after his bodyguards and the army clashed in Kinshasa in March 2007.
He fled to his childhood retreat of Belgium but this time it was no safe haven.
He was arrested in May 2008 in Brussels and handed over to the ICC two months later.
A characteristic Mr Bemba shares with his father the knack of making money.
He holds an MBA from a prestigious business school in Brussels and kept his economic activities running throughout the war: Looking after family-owned coffee plantations and wood factories.
Former allies claim most of Mr Bemba's fortune comes from gifts from African leaders such as Libya's Muammar Gaddafi.
Whatever the source, by the end of the war, the rebel-turned-politician had accrued enough wealth to buy a helicopter and several planes, which he sometimes likes to pilot himself and has since invested in DR Congo's aviation business.
He also became involved in external conflict, asked in 2002 by then Central African Republic Ange-Felix Patasse to put down a coup attempt.
It was the ensuing reign of terror, allegedly involving lootings, civilian killings and mass rape of hundreds of women by MLC fighters, which led the ICC to file charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity against him as the group's leader.
In one case, three generations of the same family were gang-raped while their relatives were forced to watch.
His lawyers say the fighters were no longer under his command after they crossed the border.
This was dismissed by the judges who said he retained "effective command and control" over the troops.
He was sentenced to 18 years in jail.
The former rebel leader and his lawyers were also convicted of bribing witnesses to give false testimony during the trial.

The 121-turbine Navitus Bay project proved highly contentious with opponents claiming it would "desecrate" the Jurassic Coast and harm tourism in the area.
Supporters pointed to the benefits of renewable energy and jobs created in constructing and maintaining the turbines.
Earlier Lord Bourne, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), announced development consent had been refused for the proposed project.
Here is some of the reaction.
"There's been a collective sigh of relief.
"We do tourism extremely well here - we don't do wind farms - this was the wrong location for it.
"Tourism is so important for Dorset. This would have been a blight on the landscape.
"The majority of people were very much against it and there was huge concern that there would be a mass impact on tourism and that's our key industry here."
"Navitus Bay was always too big, too close and threatened the very existence of England's only natural Unesco World Heritage Site.
"Yes, we need renewable energy sources for the future and already offshore wind generation forms a significant part of that, but to attempt to site it here, near some of the most highly designated coastline in England, would have been wilfully destructive... a more sensitive site is hard to imagine.
"Ultimately, I believe the threat to our Jurassic Coast, combined with damning research from Bournemouth Borough Council, which showed the wind farm could cost the area 5,000 jobs and £6.3bn in tourism revenue, swung the balance."
Jonathan Bacon - Leader, Isle of Wight Council
"My reaction is one of disappointment - if this had been granted we'd have been looking at potential employment in support of the project from Yarmouth, as well as having the preferred supplier for the blades [MHI Vestas Offshore Wind] on the island.
"Those opportunities would seem to have been lost now. It will have some unfortunate effects for the island's economy."
Mark Smith - Bournemouth Tourism
"I'm absolutely delighted - it's a decision about protecting the wonderful coastline which brings people from all over the world.
"It's very hard to overstate it - in this area tourism brings in over £1bn a year. Most of that comes from the attractiveness of the area so if you put that at risk, you put at risk 25,000 jobs."
"It is ironic that this decision is made at a time when they have announced a range of applications for oil and gas exploration on the coast.
"Surely that's going to have more of an impact than this wind farm.
"Sadly this shows that the government is not genuinely committed to reducing our use of fossil fuels and climate change.
"I would like to think we would have a site like this somewhere along the coast but that is up to the developers.
"Wind alone is not the answer, we need to have a mix of other renewable sources of energy."
"The Navitus Bay proposal was in one of the worst locations of all the new offshore wind farms and we are relieved that the government has refused to grant consent.
"With so many valid reasons for opposition, and unprecedented levels of objection, it would have been irrational to allow this scheme to proceed.
"We regret that so much time and effort has been put into examining a proposal that was clearly flawed from the outset and in a zone that should never have been included in the national offshore wind farm plan.
"We call on the developer to accept the government's decision and abandon its plans for good."
"I have said from the very beginning that the Navitus Bay proposal would be bad for Bournemouth and bad for Dorset, threatening the UK's only natural World Heritage Site and the tourism economy which is the lifeblood of my constituency.
"I very much welcome the government's decision to refuse planning consent, which vindicates my own long-standing opposition to the proposal, as well as that of many of my constituents.
"I am delighted that our case has prevailed.
"The developer should take note that we will fight any appeal with equal resolve. This scheme must now be at an end and the threat to our area removed forever."
"Not only will the UK be missing out on this important energy source but the development had enormous potential to bring hundreds of well-paid, highly-skilled jobs to an area that is dominated by low-pay.
"This decision means the UK is more reliant on non-renewable energy sources, including gas and oil from unstable countries overseas.
"This appears to be a politically motivated decision... the biggest threat to our beautiful coastline isn't from off-shore wind turbines but is from climate change, which we have already seen have a devastating impact on the South West coast line through serious storm damage.
"This decision is short-sighted and will only make the problem worse in the long-term.
"It's disappointing that the government aren't standing up for people who need this development but are caving in to those who shout the loudest."
Speaking ahead of the decision, Mr Lynas said: "The primary objections to this wind farm seemed to be aesthetic, not ecological.
"However the fact is that the UK needs large-scale clean energy developments like Navitus Bay if we are to meet our climate change targets.
"If offshore wind is rejected as an option, it will be extremely difficult to both get carbon emissions down and keep the lights on at the same time."
"We live in a beautiful part of the country and tourism plays a huge part in our local economy.
"It is right that our famous coastline has been protected and I am sure this will be a big relief to many local people.
"I believe that we need a balanced energy policy but this scheme is simply in the wrong place."
Speaking ahead of the decision, Ms Scott Cato said: "We're obliged to reduce our carbon emissions and we simply don't have any way of providing the electricity and alternatives are much, much more expensive.
"It's going to be a blow to the security of our electricity supply and it's going to undermine the many jobs and skills that could be brought into the area, so I think it will be a very serious and very negative decision if we don't get permission for Navitus Bay to go ahead."
"We always believed that this is the wrong proposal for this location and will lead to damage of a beautiful coastline.
"We commissioned our own study and found the wind park would negatively impact on these important landscapes and seascapes of nearby coastlines.
"Our objection was because of the impact on the beautiful coastlines of East Dorset and the Isle of Wight, including well-loved sites such as the Needles on the Isle of Wight, and Old Harry Rocks on Purbeck.
"However, the process for this development has also raised a number of other concerns which we would still like to see addressed."
Petra Pazsitka, then 24, was declared dead five years after she went missing from her student accommodation.
A man convicted of murdering a teenager who went missing nearby confessed to killing the young woman too.
However police investigating a robbery came across a tenant, a 55-year-old woman, who had no ID.
She told the officers that she had been living under a false identity and gave them her real name.
Ms Pazsitka's disappearance was the subject of an appeal on the German crime show "Aktenzeichen XY".
A spokesman for police in Braunschweig, the northern German city where Ms Pazsitka was studying computer sciences in 1984, said she had wished to remain undiscovered.
"She said only a little about the background of her disappearance and why she left back then," Joachim Grande said.
"She said that she had prepared for it and that she wanted it," he added.
Ms Pazsitka had withdrawn DM4,000 from her bank to start a new life, he said, and gave a student neighbour keys to her apartment to look after her pet birds.
He said the officially dead woman's elderly mother and brother were "absolutely shocked" when they heard she was still alive.
The family want to have contact, German media report, but Ms Pazsitka does not wish to see them.
"I remember getting my first car when I was 17," Bingham, the world number 10, told BBC Sport. "I used to drive to Ilford to practise with Ronnie O'Sullivan, Steve Davis and Ken Doherty.
"It was like a YTS scheme, I suppose."
Some scheme. The apprenticeship obviously worked and all four could be reunited for Tuesday's World Championship quarter-finals.
The serious business takes place on the Crucible baize, with 38-year-old Bingham facing 'the Rocket', a five-time world champion.
Six-time champion Davis could well be in the commentary box, as could Doherty - the 1997 Crucible winner.
The two onlookers will be casting their eyes over a legend of the game and a player who really has come of age in the past four years.
Bingham only won his first ranking event, the 2011 Australian Open, at the age of 35. But he is now firmly established among the sport's elite.
He has won three tournaments this year, the same as Mark Selby and Shaun Murphy, and has made it through to the last eight at snooker's showpiece event for the second time in nine World Championship appearances.
However, his mates were not convinced he was destined for great things when he left school at 16.
"I remember doing my last exam at school, and I went up the club and knocked in my second 100 break - so I wasn't good then," recalled Bingham, nicknamed 'Ball-run'.
"I wanted to be a pro snooker player but a few of the friends who I still see said 'you'll never be good enough'.
"They thought I would be a waster. But eight months later they saw me and said 'wow'. I was making 100s every day because I wasn't at school and I was practising all the time."
Basildon-born Bingham only started playing at the age of 13 but he was soon hooked and his passion remains as strong as ever.
"I am a snooker fan - always have been since I got into it and always will be," said Bingham. "I go on holiday and on the the first day I want to get home because I want to practise.
"I drive my wife Michelle mad. She says, 'we have just got here, chill out'. I see a pool table and can't help myself. I think 'I've got to have a go'."
Bingham briefly jokes about being a hustler, but the financial rewards of his recent success at a time when snooker's schedule is packed means he is making more than a decent living without tucking up oblivious holidaymakers.
In that scenario, his low profile - despite being one of the game's leading players - could come in handy.
But he would dearly love to be mentioned in the same breath as O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson, Judd Trump, Ding Junhui and Murphy.
Improving on his record at one of snooker's main events and making a very good season "great" or "exceptional" would help.
"Maybe a few players don't get the credit they deserve," added Bingham. "But I am happy to do my own thing.
"Looking at my records in the big three, the Masters I have never got past the last 16, the UK I have got to the semis in the last two years and the Worlds I haven't got past the quarter-finals.
"Maybe it's my own fault that I am not mentioned and go under the radar because I have not done what I should have done.
"But I want to do well for me. And the Crucible is a place where I would love to do well. I put this tournament on a pedestal."
Bingham came close to reaching his first final in one of snooker's big three in this season's UK Championship, taking a 4-1 semi-final lead over O'Sullivan before losing 6-5.
And it was O'Sullivan who ended Bingham's Crucible hopes in 2013, dishing out a 13-4 defeat.
"I think the key is not to go 7-0 down before you start," said Bingham, half-chuckling, half grimacing at the memory. "You have to take your chances and I had chances in six of the first seven frames.
"But Ronnie is the best player in the world - he's a different breed."
Bingham, dad to three-and-half-year-old Shae and step-daughter Tiegan - "11 going on 20" - has remained very grounded despite a fine season.
"My little boy loves it," said Bingham. "He has his own snooker table now. I came home after five hours of practising the other day and he just said 'daddy, snooker'."
Perhaps there could be another Essex potter in the making, to follow in the footsteps of O'Sullivan, Davis, Ali Carter and S. Bingham senior?

The body of Shana Grice, 19, was found at a house in Chrisdory Road, Mile Oak, after she failed to turn up for work on Thursday morning.
Sussex Police said a 27-year-old man had been bailed until 29 September pending further inquiries.
Her parents have paid tribute to a "kind, thoughtful, caring daughter".
Ms Grice worked in the accounts department of Palmer and Harvey, a company in Hove.
Det Supt Jason Taylor said: "This remains an ongoing investigation and has understandably come as a shock to the local community.
"Our thoughts are with Shana Grice's family and friends and we would ask anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area, no matter how insignificant you may think it was, to get in touch."
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been notified of Ms Grice's death as police had been in contact with her and "other people" previously, Sussex Police said.
The Japanese carmaker sold 7.5 million in the first three quarters of 2015, beating Volkswagen's 7.43 million and General Motors' 7.2 million.
After six months of the year, VW was ahead of Toyota, in pole position for the first time.
VW's emissions scandal emerged towards the end of September.
The discovery of software that was able to mislead emissions tests on diesel cars may have more effect on VW's sales in the remainder of the year.
Toyota's sales for the first nine months were 1.5% below the level at the same stage last year.
Toyota first overtook GM to take the top slot in 2008 and has kept it every year since, except 2011 when GM was the top seller after a tsunami in north-eastern Japan disrupted Toyota's production.
Separately, there was relief for General Motors on Sunday when it reached an agreement with the United Auto Workers union, averting a threatened strike.
Details of the four-year labour deal were not released. It will now go to a vote of UAW leaders and then the union's 52,700 workers at GM.
"We believe that this agreement will present stable long-term significant wage gains and job security commitments to UAW members now and in the future," said UAW president Dennis Williams.
The union had threatened that it would terminate its existing contract at midnight Eastern time on Sunday, meaning there could have been a strike.
The white Range Rover Revere - with a starting price of £75,000 - was seen parked near Harrods in west London and daubed with angry messages by what appears to be a scorned lover.
"Cheater" was painted on both sides of the vehicle while the words, "Hope she was worth it" were marked on the rear window and bonnet.
Klo who took the photos said she saw a woman spray-painting the car.
"I have no idea who she was - she was just going crazy.
"No one tried to stop her. She just left afterwards."
The words, "It's over", were also on the car, suggesting the end of any relationship.
It is not known who the car owner is but he or she will get a shock when they finally return to their vehicle.
Clean Power Properties hoped to build a plant in Cwmgwili for a pyrolysis unit which uses heat treatment of organic waste to generate gas and electricity.
The company said it would reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
More than 330 letters of objection were sent to the council, with about 500 people signing a petition against it.
A protest was also held before the planning meeting to discuss the plant, which would have been the first of its kind in Wales.
Llanelli MP Nia Griffith, who joined the protest, previously said residents "don't really want to be the guinea pigs here."
The planning meeting heard Clean Power Properties had submitted applications for 12 sites across the UK, but none had yet been built.
Councillors raised concerns during the meeting about potentially harmful emissions and the possibility that waste and rubbish from all parts of Wales and England could eventually be processed at the site.
Council leader Emlyn Dole said it was the "last thing" Carmarthenshire needed while trying to build a tourism industry.
Clean Power Properties has been asked to comment on the decision.
It previously said the plant would have generated up to 18 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power more than 20,000 homes.
Newport's Conor Wilkinson hit the post twice in a goalless first half, before Jordan Tillson met Lee Holmes' free-kick to put the hosts in front.

The grey Audi A4 failed to stop on the A1 near Catterick and sped north to Scotch Corner then back south on Tuesday, said North Yorkshire Police.
It weaved in and out of traffic and hit several other vehicles before it was stopped after being boxed in by police cars near Boston Spa, West Yorkshire.
A large quantity of cannabis was found and two people arrested, said police.
A man aged 31 and a woman aged 22, both from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, remain in police custody.
The girl is being looked after by social services, said police.

It was about 16:30 BST on Tuesday when officers started to follow the car and a police helicopter was involved in the pursuit.
Subsequent house searches also led to the recovery of more drugs and the investigation is ongoing, said police.
The force tweeted the picture of the car having come to a halt.
No one was hurt in the incident and police are appealing for witnesses.
Writing in the Mail On Sunday, he says the corporation's reputation is on the line and it must face up to the truth.
Lord Patten apologised to those victims who alleged abuse by the TV presenter were not aired by Newsnight.
The Sunday Times says ex-BBC director general Mark Thompson's office was alerted about the Savile abuse claims.
A BBC spokesperson said: "Mark Thompson has repeatedly made clear he had no personal knowledge of the allegations."
Savile's nephew Roger Foster has told BBC Radio 5 Live about how "devastating" the allegations have been for his family.
It is thought Savile, who died last year aged 84, may have abused scores of young girls and some boys, some on BBC premises, over a 40-year period.
About 300 people may have been victims of sexual abuse, according to Scotland Yard.
Savile is alleged to have carried out abuse at a number of institutions, such as the high security psychiatric hospital Broadmoor, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary.
The TV presenter and DJ, who was knighted in 1996, was a UK household name in the 1970s and 80s.
In his article for the Mail on Sunday, Lord Patten says the BBC "risks squandering public trust" and its "reputation is on the line" because one of its stars was apparently a sexual criminal.
"Like many who work for the BBC, I feel a sense of particular remorse that abused women spoke to Newsnight, presumably at great personal pain, yet did not have their stories told as they expected," he says.
He also asks whether anybody knew of the abuse allegations.
Lord Patten goes on: "Can it really be the case that no one knew what he was doing? Did some turn a blind eye to criminality?
"Did some prefer not to follow up their suspicions because of this criminal's popularity and place in the schedules?"
The BBC Trust chairman also stresses he has instructed current BBC director general George Entwistle staff must "co-operate fully" with the inquiry, led by former Sky News chief Nick Pollard, into the handling of the Newsnight report.
"The sooner the report emerges the better, but no one should lean on Mr Pollard to cut corners," he warns.
"We want and need a full account of what happened, wherever its conclusions lead. The Trust will publish it and take whatever steps are necessary.
"The BBC must tell the truth and face up to the truth about itself, however terrible."
Elsewhere, the Sunday Times says the former BBC director general's office was formally alerted about the allegations twice - in May and September.
Mr Thompson left the corporation in September to take up a post in the New York Times.
In May, a newspaper journalist contacted the head of Mr Thompson's office about the Savile allegations, but was told to speak to the BBC press office - according to the Sunday Times.
His rise to fame and the allegations against him
The head of Mr Thompson's office told the paper she did not inform him about the allegations, which are also said to have been laid out in a rejected freedom of information request a few months earlier.
Responding to the article, Mr Thompson's spokesman said he "was not aware of the conversation," adding "he was on holiday at the time and this brief conversation was not relayed to him, either then or subsequently".
The Sunday Times also reports a separate occasion in September, in which an email was sent from ITV - which was investigating Savile - to the BBC editorial policy department and Mr Thompson's office.
A BBC spokesman confirmed the email had been received and sent on to both departments. He added: "We cannot say definitively it did not go anywhere else."
Mr Thompson's spokesman told BBC News: "Mark does not recall being briefed and took no part in the response to the email in early September from ITV relating to its Jimmy Savile documentary. This response was handled by colleagues in BBC Journalism.
"As Mark has made it clear, he had no involvement in the decision not to proceed with the Newsnight investigation into Jimmy Savile."
Allegations of sexual abuse against Savile have continued to mount since claims were first made public in ITV's documentary at the beginning of October.
On Saturday, Savile's nephew Roger Foster told the BBC he had not believed the allegations at first, but so many had surfaced he was now "convinced that the vast majority of them are true".
He said he could not understand how his uncle, who did so much charity work, "could have such a dark side to him".
The BBC has announced two inquiries as a result of the Savile abuse claims, and a further review into the current sexual harassment policies at the BBC.
On Monday, former Court of Appeal judge Dame Janet Smith will begin a review into the culture and practices of the corporation during Savile's time there, and will also examine whether the BBC's child protection and whistleblowing policies are fit for purpose.
The independent Pollard inquiry is already examining the BBC's management of the Newsnight Savile investigation. | A newly-ordained bishop is reportedly being held after announcing he was quitting the body that oversees China's state-sanctioned Catholic Church.

Anyone who is anyone has been there - even us - done it and moved on to the next thing: the #TrumpIsComing Challenge.
Donald Trump's election victory had barely been confirmed than the new craze was born.
Videos posted under variations on the phrase - currently the most popular is #TrumpsComingChallenge - show students going about daily life until someone shouts "Trump's coming." The two most common reactions seem to be to run screaming or collapse on the floor.
Emi Chavez, from Azle, Texas, claims he started it with his post just hours after the election result and challenged people to "show me how you'd react if you saw Trump".
"Me and my friends are Mexican but we were born here and everyone is scared by what Trump said about sending Mexicans back home and all the other racist things, as well," says Chavez, aged 16.
"The whole idea was to have some fun, but Trump is a very scary guy to kids of our age because we don't want our families to get split up," he adds.
"So we were just thinking about how we would just run away from him if he came near."
The video struck a chord and has inspired lots of others to make their own version, including Rudy Reyna, who posted his on his Twitter account @rudygarzareyna.
The 17-year-old from Austin, Texas, says he is not a fan of Mr Trump's but made his video just for the fun of it.
"I first spotted it on Twitter when I was scrolling on my feed and I thought it was a funny video to make so one day during school I rounded up friends and did the challenge," he says.
Students at a college in South Carolina took a slightly different approach, producing a mash-up of the #AndysComing and #TrumpIsComing challenges.
The #AndysComing challenge is based on the film Toy Story, where the toys drop to the floor when their owner Andy comes into the room.
The video shows students dancing and when someone shouts "Trump's coming", they all fall to the ground motionless.
It was made by Yung Astroo, from Columbia, South Carolina, and posted on a number of social media platforms, including his instagram account.
"Me and my team saw people doing the 'AndysComing' challenge on the internet but we decided we'd put a twist on it. so we danced to some music and then yelled 'Trump is coming' and then everyone fell out," he says.
The Mannequin Challenge has swept social media in recent months with Michelle Obama and Beyonce among those posing perfectly still in mid-action for the camera.
Even Hillary Clinton and her team posed as mannequins on election day with the message "Don't stand still. Vote today."
But within 24 hours the votes were counted and the announcement of the next president sparked a new social trend.

The Lord Chief Justice for Northern Ireland, Sir Declan Morgan, set out his plans for dealing with 54 legacy cases.
The cases include killings by police officers and soldiers, and others where there are allegations of collusion.
Sir Declan will assume responsibility for the inquests when he takes on the role of Presidency of the Coroners' Courts next month.
Speaking at a conference organised by the Victims and Survivors Forum in Belfast, he pledged to engage with the families of those who were killed as openly and transparently as possible.
Sir Declan said he would appoint a senior judge, Lord Justice Weir, to undertake a comprehensive review of all legacy cases.
Preliminary hearings for all of the 54 outstanding inquests will be scheduled for January for "assessment of the state of readiness of each case".
Sir Declan told the conference he had been advised that some of the inquests could potentially be ready to be heard in the new year.
He also announced that a High Court judge would be designated to hear the most complex legacy cases, while some of the others would be heard by a County Court judge.
In a message for politicians, he said: "I have no desire to enter the political fray, but clearly there is a need for both political agreement on the mechanisms for dealing with the past and significant additional resources if we are to move these cases forward in any meaningful way."
Sir Declan added that "a visible political commitment from Westminster" would also be crucial, including a "pivotal role" for the minister for defence.
He revealed that only nine legacy cases had been disposed of during the past five years, and 13 cases in total in the past 10 years.
Of the 54 outstanding legacy cases, 22 of them are now more than 40 years old.
The Lord Chief Justice warned that it could be "many years" before most of the cases could be dealt with.
"Based on experience to date, I suspect that the number of legacy inquests proceeding annually in the next year or two is likely to be in single figures," he said.
In November last year, Sir Declan warned that inquests into deaths involving alleged state collusion and cover-ups could go on until 2040 unless the coronial system was changed.
On Thursday, he said it would be wrong to give the families of those killed unrealistic expectations about what can be achieved.
However, he added: "I also want to assure you that I am fully committed to doing all that I can, within my sphere of influence and with the resources at my disposal, to ensure that justice is delivered."
Sir Declan said a model similar to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry would undoubtedly speed up the hearing of cases, but this would require political agreement.

Allen was ruled out of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Georgia after scans showed the extent of the injury.
"We're still checking on Joe, he hasn't trained with the group yet," the former Wales manager said.
"We would have given him an extra day's rest but he trained with Wales and that's probably compromised him a little bit so they have to be a little bit careful in that regard."
Hughes' side face Sunderland at home on Saturday, hoping to pick up their first win in the Premier League this season, but the Stoke boss hopes the summer signing from Liverpool will be fit to feature against the Black Cats.
"We've just got to be a little bit careful with him; unfortunately he probably did a little bit too much with the Welsh squad," Hughes said.
Hughes later spoke at a press conference about Allen's injury and was asked if the player would be fit to face Sunderland.
"Joe Allen is doubtful, but we are hopeful on him," replied Hughes.
"He has had a bit of discomfort, which is probably down to the workload he has put in.
"He has had a busy summer and is now playing week in, week out, which maybe he hasn't done for a while.
"You can see the amount of work he puts in on the pitch, so we have to be a little bit careful with him."
The Football Association of Wales declined to comment when contacted by BBC Wales Sport.
The bottom-placed Shrews, who had gone 10 games without a win prior to Hurst's arrival earlier this week, went in front through Adam El-Abd but Stephen McLaughlin's leveller meant the game ended all square at Roots Hall.
Shrewsbury seemed fortunate not to give away an early penalty when Shrimpers striker Marc-Antoine Fortune appeared to be hauled down in the box by El-Abd.
But the experienced defender went unpunished and then took centre stage further up the field when he broke the deadlock in stunning fashion in the 26th minute, firing home an unstoppable half-volley from 30 yards.
Ivan Toney came close to doubling Town's lead almost immediately but his low shot slammed against the left post.
And Southend hit back to equalise in the 39th minute when McLaughlin fired home an excellent through-ball from Simon Cox before the game tamely petered out in the second half with neither side threatening in attack.

Steven Mnuchin unveiled President Trump's blueprint, which aims to cut the business tax rate from 35% to 15%.
Economists say the policy would add trillions of dollars to the deficit over the next decade.
But Mr Mnuchin said the tax plan would pay for itself "through growth, through deductions and closing loopholes".
Secretary Mnuchin, joined White House chief economic adviser Gary Cohn on Wednesday to announce the tax proposal, which he billed as "the biggest tax cut" in history, but it is unclear whether that will really prove to be the case.
During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump released a tax plan that was fairly traditional by Republican standards and fairly light on details.
Now the Trump administration has released a new, different tax plan. It is also fairly traditional by Republican standards and equally vague.
The White House wants taxes to go down, but for whom? And how will it be paid for?
"We will let you know the details at the appropriate moment," Trump economic advisor Gary Cohn said during the unveiling of the one-page, bullet-pointed outline.
Political devils love to hide in such details.
What seems certain is that, like the recent healthcare debate, the forthcoming tax battle will set Republicans at each other's throats.
While conservatives traditionally have never met a tax cut they didn't like, many in Congress have taken strong positions in recent years against adding to the budget deficit.
Mr Trump's proposals will surely balloon the deficit unless they're offset elsewhere, which will take more than the promised economic growth and loophole closing.
Once again, the heavy lifting on policy is left to Congress. The end result may not look at all like today's plan - and, like healthcare, it may prove difficult to pass.
The Republican president's plan will act as a guide for Congress as they try to pass a tax reform bill in the months ahead.
It could face resistance from fiscal hawks within his own party.
Democrats are highlighting the fact that Mr Trump's own tax liability from his businesses would shrink under his blueprint, saving him millions.
Democratic Party chairman Tom Perez renewed a call for Mr Trump to release his tax returns to better understand how much he would gain from the plan.
"We must know how much Trump would personally financially benefit from his own proposal," he said.
Also mentioned in the president's broad outline:
What will Trump's tax plan actually do?
Mr Trump's blueprint is not expected to include any proposals for raising new revenue.
The much-discussed border tax that would put a tariff on imports - favoured by House Speaker Paul Ryan - will not be in the plan.
And nor will Mr Trump's $1tn (£779bn) infrastructure improvement plan feature.
The White House is also working to include an expanded child and development care credit, for which Mr Trump's daughter, Ivanka, has advocated.
Democrats are not expected to back a plan which adds to the national debt.
That means Republicans, who control the House and the Senate, may be forced to work under a budget procedure which allows them to proceed without them.
President Trump would like to see Congress pass tax reform by the middle of autumn, says the White House.
Republican lawmaker Kevin Brady, who heads the House Ways and Means Committee and co-chairs Congress' tax-writing panels, praised the broad tax outline.
"I think the bolder the better in tax reform," he said. "I'm excited that the president is going for a very ambitious plan."
Senator Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, questioned whether lowering tax rates for small businesses, known as S corporations or "pass through" businesses, was beneficial.
Though "pass through" entities are typically small businesses, parts of Mr Trump's own real estate conglomerate also qualify, giving Democrats more ammunition in opposing the plan.
Democrats have also criticised Mr Mnuchin's claim that economic growth would create enough new tax revenue to cover the corporate tax cuts.
Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown called the 15% rate workable only "if you want to blow a hole in the federal budget and cut a whole lot of things like Meals on Wheels and Lake Erie restoration and then lie about the growth rate of the economy".
California Democrat Ted Lieu described the proposal as "mathematically impossible".
Mark Connolly, 55, of Rhyl, Denbighshire, was convicted over the deaths of four rail workers struck by a runaway trailer in 2004.
He formally applied to operate HGVs in August after being found behind the wheel without such a licence in May.
But the Traffic Commissioner for Wales has rejected the bid in a written decision following a public inquiry.
Commissioner Nick Jones said it had been for Mr Connolly to satisfy him that he was fit to hold an operator's licence during the hearing last month.
However, he "still did not appear to acknowledge the extent of his gross negligence which resulted in four deaths" during the inquiry in Welshpool, Powys, said Mr Jones.
Mr Connolly was jailed with a second man following a trial after four men were killed when a wagon carrying steel rail tracks hit them as they worked at Tebay, Cumbria, in February 2004.
In May, a traffic examiner from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) stopped a vehicle driven by Mark Connolly in Bangor, Gwynedd, which was not displaying a valid operator's licence, the written decision said.
Mr Connolly had told the DVSA officer that he was using the vehicle to undertake recovery work, which was exempt from operator licensing, it added.
However, the examiner found there were no specific features to identify the vehicle as a recovery vehicle and, therefore, he did need an operator's licence to legally undertake the journey, according to the commissioner's written decision.
It said that prior to being convicted, Mr Connolly had held an operator's licence to cover his work involving HGVs so was aware of requirements.
The commissioner's statement said Mr Connolly said during the inquiry that his business at the time of the fatal accidents involved his operating heavy goods vehicles but claimed his new business was very different in its nature.
The statement said he undertook HGV repairs for several other operators who undertook plant hire work, he employed four people and he was "working hard to climb the ladder again".
Mr Jones concluded: "Reflecting on the totality of the evidence and on my assessment of Mark Connolly, he falls woefully short of the standard required, namely satisfying me on the balance of probabilities that he is fit to hold an operator's licence."
The 2ft (60cm) snake was discovered as the Streetscene workers removed waste from a bin in a town centre alley.
Middlesbrough Council's pest control manager Chris Hudson identified the reptile as a snow or albino corn snake.
The non-venomous creature was safely removed and is now in a vivarium in a local pet shop while its owner is sought.
Mr Hudson said: "It was curled up behind a bin when I found it. I am used to dealing with rats and mice, wasps and bed bugs, so a snake is very unusual."
Anyone who believes the snake is theirs is asked to contact the council's pest control service.
Corn snakes are a North American species that constricts their small prey.

Mr Kimani was representing a client making a complaint against the police.
The law society says this is the first time that a lawyer working on a sensitive case has gone missing.
Police have not yet commented on Mr Kimani's disappearance.
His client and the driver of their taxi are also missing.
The case concerned allegedly false charges against the client after he accused the police of accidentally shooting him, the New York Times reports.
Mr Kimani was working for a US legal charity, the International Justice Mission, which focuses on cases of police abuse of power.
In a statement it said: "We are heartbroken by this horrific crime and are doing everything we can to locate these men and support the families of the victims."
Law society president Isaac Okero told the BBC's Mohammud Ali in Nairobi that the incident suggests "lawyers are becoming a target because of their work".
"This is an indication that the rule of law is beginning to crumble," he added.
The society says that the police are now investigating what happened to Mr Kimani and the other two men.

"I'm very annoyed. They let me down today, they let all my staff down. To go 2-0 up, 10 men, the second half is just not acceptable.
"Why should I be on the sidelines shouting and hollering, it all comes to how badly they really want it, I badly want it, all my staff badly want it, the fans want it.
"It all depends if they really want it and some of them have really got to look at themselves now because Cheltenham are in the hot seat."
The Labour MSP, who will renounce his party affiliation as part of the role, won out after three rounds of voting.
His former colleagues Johann Lamont and Elaine Smith were also in the running, along with Conservative members Murdo Fraser and John Scott.
SNP MSPs Christine Grahame and Linda Fabiani were elected to serve as deputy presiding officers.
All 129 MSPs were sworn in earlier in the day, and their first task was to elect the team which presides over debates and Holyrood business.
The roles, the presiding officer job in particular, include undertaking diplomatic functions and representing the parliament at home and abroad.
He has a tough job ahead but he made a notably fine start.
First, there was no hubris or bombast in his tone. Indeed, in acknowledging victory, he deployed some deft drollery, at his own expense.
He apologised in advance if he failed to recognise every one of the new MSPs - all 51 of them, albeit with four retreads.
In his zeal to acknowledge and welcome newly elected colleagues, he said that over the last couple of days he had warmly congratulated… two catering staff, one BBC journalist and a Special Branch officer.
The Presiding Officer then went on to set the theme for his term in charge. He would seek "to work together across the party divide for the common good."
This objective, decidedly well expressed, matched exactly his statements in the run-up to the contest. He offered consensus. He offered conciliation.
Perhaps it was this offer which attracted the degree of SNP support which, by arithmetical definition, the winner required.
However, the new PO will also require steel. To convene a Parliament where there are shifting power bases and no clear majority. To convene a Parliament which has much more power, including over tax.

A secret ballot was held in the Holyrood chamber, with repeated rounds of voting until a majority supported one candidate.
Ms Smith was eliminated after the first round, while her fellow former deputy presiding officer Mr Scott was knocked out in the second round.
Mr Macintosh secured a majority of votes in the next round, with 71 MSPs supporting him. Mr Fraser won 31 votes, and Ms Lamont 26.
The new presiding officer paid fulsome tribute to his predecessor Tricia Marwick, and said he was "very grateful indeed" for the "honour and privilege" of the role.
He said: "As Tricia and many of her former colleagues step down, it gives me great pleasure to welcome and thank you, the class of 2016.
"I can see around me many familiar faces and friends, but I see too a huge number of new members, freshly elected. And can I say on a personal level, the energy and the infectious enthusiasm and optimism which you have filled this building within just a few days has invigorated me and refreshed this place."
He also apologised for any mistakes in advance, revealing that he mistakenly welcomed catering staff, a BBC journalist and a policeman to Holyrood as new MSPs.
Mr Macintosh was nominated by fellow Labour MSPs Jackie Baillie and Mark Griffin, while colleague Johann Lamont was backed by Jenny Marra and Green MSP Andy Wightman.
Mr Fraser was nominated by Conservative colleagues Liz Smith and Miles Briggs, while John Scott also had backing from Tories Alex Johnstone and Peter Chapman.
Former deputy presiding officer Elaine Smith was backed by Labour colleague Rhoda Grant and SNP MSP Colin Beattie.
MSPs then had to choose two deputy presiding officers from a field of three SNP MSPs - Ken Gibson, Linda Fabiani and Christine Grahame - and one Conservative, Margaret Mitchell.
Ms Fabiani and Ms Grahame won out after two voting sessions.
Shelter Scotland also found almost 10% of those concerned were worried about meeting payments in January.
The charity said it had been contacted by dozens of people every day who felt "overwhelmed" by mounting rent or mortgage bills.
The survey of more than 1,000 people was carried out by YouGov.
The 25-34 age group had the highest number of respondents, with 36% stating they were worried about paying rent or their mortgage.
The survey also found that almost a third of people have already cut back on winter essentials such as fuel and clothing in order to cover rent and mortgage payments, while 5% of those questioned have used savings meant for Christmas to pay living costs.
Shelter Scotland recently revealed another rise in the number of calls handled by its national helpline last year, while an average of 81 households were assessed as homeless every day.
Adam Lang, head of policy at Shelter Scotland, said: "It's a worrying sign of the times that so many people are starting the new year worried about how they'll pay for their rent or mortgage in 2016.
"Every day we hear from people who are living on a knife edge, feeling overwhelmed by mounting rent or mortgage bills, as the increasing pressure of sky-high housing costs continues to take its toll.
"We understand it is all too easy to bury your head in the sand hoping the problem will go away. But if you're in this situation, it's so important to remember you're not alone and that help is at hand.
"Advice from Shelter Scotland is only a click or a phone call away - so get advice early to prevent things from spiralling out of control."
The all-rounder, who began day three on 78, batted for 452 balls, hitting 23 fours and a six to get past his previous best of 256 before Notts captain Chris Read declared on 535-8.
Patel was supported by Read (40) and Luke Wood (38 not out) as they moved on from their overnight score of 221-3.
Wood trapped Cameron Bancroft lbw as Gloucestershire reached stumps at 30-1.
Patel has long been a solid performer for Nottinghamshire, but coming into the game he was yet to score a century this season, with just a single fifty to his name.
However, he showed patience and skill to dominate the home side's attack, punishing bad balls to give Notts a chance of setting up a fifth win of the season on day four.
Samit Patel told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"I'm delighted. It reminds you of the bad days that you have with the bat. Days like this are when you have to make the most of it. I've been training pretty hard and my mindset has been pretty good for weeks now but I've not been converting as I should really.
"I was the most nervous on 256, needing one for the career-best but the boys were all really chuffed for me.
"I'm looking forward to a bowl tomorrow now and hopefully we can get over the line and win the game."
The SPF, which represents rank and file officers, also said Crown Office staff often appeared "overwhelmed".
Holyrood's Justice Committee is looking into claims that the service is buckling under workload and cost pressures.
The Crown Office said it "strongly disagreed" with the comments.
In a written submission to the review panel, SPF general secretary Calum Steele praised "dedicated" and "hardworking" staff working at the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS).
However, he told the inquiry that it was "the experience of our members that when matters get to court, the procurators fiscal are often unprepared and lack knowledge of the case".
The SPF said that COPFS did "not have the skill set to carry out its role effectively" in cases involving new technologies.
Mr Steele said: "The SPF believes that the COPFS needs to significantly 'up its game' in both its dealing with victims and witnesses.
"This is especially true when it comes to the court experience, where what can only be described as farcical levels of disturbance and inconvenience are experienced.
"We appreciate that court scheduling is a matter not directly in the hands of the COPFS but the volume of cases that can be laid down for a particular court hearing are by any measure unrealistic.
"It appears to the SPF that large numbers of cases are called, not because there is any prospect of the case being heard, but to ensure timescales can be adhered to."
The federation said the frequency of cases being adjourned or abandoned was too high and that adjournments and abandoned cases were causing some victims to loss of confidence in the system.
The SPF also raised concerns that cases were proceeding despite a lack of evidence to secure a conviction, particularly in relation to domestic violence.
In a separate submission, the Faculty of Advocates said it believed "that a lack of resources within COPFS has had a significant impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of the pre-indictment preparation of non-homicide and non-sexual cases."
It added: "There has also been a general deterioration in the standard of pre-indictment preparation in non-homicide and non-sexual offence cases.
"The Faculty questions whether COPFS has the resources and expertise to prepare and present the prosecution of other complex cases."
A Crown Office spokesman said he strongly disagreed with the conclusions of the SPF.
He added: "Victims are at the heart of the justice system and we are absolutely committed to ensuring that their interests are well served.
"We are working with criminal justice partners to minimise inconvenience to both witnesses and victims of crime, and we can assure the federation that we only take action in cases reported by the police where we consider there is sufficient evidence in law.
"Giving evidence is a core part of police officers' duties and not all citations will result in officers and other witnesses having to attend court; a number of citations are cancelled before the trial date if the accused pleads guilty at an earlier stage in proceedings."
He won his first Masters Series title for over two years in Madrid in May, and added another in Montreal last month. And by reaching the Australian Open final, as well as the last four at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, Murray has re-established himself as one of the best three players in the world. He even beat Novak Djokovic - to end a run of eight consecutive defeats by the world number one.
But there will inevitably be frustration that after such a successful year, he has failed to add to his tally of two Grand Slam titles.
The benefits of a first meaningful training block with Amelie Mauresmo in Miami last December were evident in Melbourne in January, and Murray's clay-court form was a revelation. The plan this year, where possible, has been to play a smaller tournament in the lead-up to the Masters events in the hope the extra preparation would pay dividends.
It has. Not only has Murray's ranking improved from six to three since the start of the season, but he has also been a much more potent threat in the Grand Slams. Or at least in three of the four, as here in New York he appeared to run out of steam.
Murray had already played a five-set match against Adrian Mannarino before his four-hour-17-minute defeat by Kevin Anderson, but a lack of spark and the reduced power on his forehand in that fourth-round match seems closely related to the amount of tennis he played earlier in the summer.
Murray's commitment to Great Britain's Davis Cup team is not without its drawbacks. This year's quarter-final against France at Queen's Club took place the week after Wimbledon, leaving him just one week of rest before flying out to Washington to compete in an ATP 500 event which would have been worth his while financially. A first-round defeat there encouraged him to play in both Montreal and Cincinnati in the two weeks that followed, before heading to New York to complete his preparations for the US Open.
Going into the year's final Grand Slam, Murray had played 65 matches over the course of 14 tournaments and two Davis Cup ties. World number one Djokovic, by contrast, had played 61 matches in 11 tournaments and one Davis Cup tie, and Roger Federer - who is yet to play in the team competition this year - 52 matches in 12 events. The Swiss world number two, 34, signed up for (and won) only one event between Wimbledon and the US Open.

Murray says life will be far less frenetic after next week's Davis Cup semi-final against Australia in Glasgow. He expects to play in just Shanghai and Paris before the World Tour Finals begin in London in the middle of November.
Britain's first Davis Cup final since 1978 may follow, after which Murray will have to make some tough decisions about his future. He plans to train at home this December, as his wife Kim will by then be heavily pregnant, and expects to be away from the tour in February: the month in which the baby is due.
But what will his schedule look like for the rest of 2016? Will he be able to commit to the Davis Cup for another full year? Any quarter-final would again be played the week after Wimbledon and he is also due to defend his Olympic title in Rio in the run-up to the US Open.
As Murray told me, with a smile on his face, after his defeat by Anderson: "If I don't play Davis Cup, I get abused by you guys."
He may find himself in an unenviable position. And at 28 - the age a modern day player tends to reach his prime - these decisions carry a lot of weight.
The findings were published by the Commission on Sex in Prison, which was set up by the national charity The Howard League for Penal Reform.
Some inmates formed relationships as a source of comfort and support, it said, but some of these became abusive.
The Prison Service said it did not condone sex in prisons.
The Commission, which comprises leading academics, former prison governors and health experts, is the first independent review of sex behind bars in England and Wales.
• There is evidence that some women have sexual relationships with other women prisoners
• Prison staff reported that women were more overt than men about their friendships and relationships with other prisoners
• Women are at greater risk than men of entering prison with a sexually transmitted infection including HIV

The report said a form of sexual assault known as "decrotching" was believed to have occurred in jails - which involved female prisoners forcibly retrieving drugs from another inmate's body.
Women have different sexual health needs to men and they are at greater risk of entering prison with a sexually transmitted infection such as HIV, the paper also suggested.
Among its recommendations, the report said that "staff working with women in prison need training and guidance on how to support women, identify relationships between prisoners and recognise bullying".
It added: "The working relationships between prison staff and women can be beneficial and there is evidence that women prisoners are more open about their feelings than men and more likely to talk to staff about problems."
The commission said there was little reliable data available on consensual or coercive sexual activity in prisons.
It instead heard anecdotal evidence from agencies involved with the prison service, as well as from former and current prisoners.
The evidence included a study of women's health from 2006, when 220 female prisoners were interviewed a month after they arrived in custody. Eighteen said they had had sex with a man and 25 had had sex with a woman during that month.
The Prison and Probation Ombudsman also submitted that in the last five years it had investigated five female prisoner deaths, compared with one male death, in which sexual issues were found to have contributed in some way.
Chris Sheffield, chairman of the Commission on Sex in Prison, said: "Women in prison are particularly vulnerable and more likely than men to have a history of being a victim of violence or sexual abuse.
"It is important that policies recognise these differences and are developed in order to protect the vulnerable."
He added: "It is equally important that staff in women's prisons receive specific training on working with women."
A Prison Service spokeswoman said: "Sexual relations between prisoners are not commonplace. We do not condone sex in prisons or believe that prisoners in a relationship should share a cell.
"Reported incidents of sexual assault in prison are rare. Where an alleged sexual assault is reported or discovered it will be investigated and reported to the police if required."
The Howard League for Penal reform said it wanted to see less crime, safer communities and fewer people in prison.
The double European champion said she fears she suffered a fractured wrist in the incident on Thursday but knows she "escaped serious injury".
The 27-year-old - Team GB's reserve as they won 2016 Olympic Team Pursuit gold in Rio - said she had lost confidence.
"It's frightening and has made me question my safety," she said.
The full-time physiotherapist was riding from her home in Cardiff to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant when the accident happened.
She was rushed to hospital in an ambulance with severe cuts and bruises and will have an MRI scan on a suspected fracture of the scaphoid, a bone in the wrist, on Monday.
Miss Horne has had "get well soon" wishes from British cycling greats Jo Rowsell Shand, Laura Trott and Geraint Thomas since the incident near Pontyclun Fire Station in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
"As the car pulled from a side road straight out in front of me, I couldn't swerve or break in time so hit it," she recalled.
"I bounced off the windscreen. As I crashed to the floor, my head was spinning and couldn't close my jaw. I was pretty hysterical.
"The man in the car behind me stopped and rung my mum. He said it was 'spectacular' and I was 'lucky to be alive' so I'm blessed to still be here."
Miss Horne competed at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and is expected to be in the Welsh cycling squad, including Olympic gold medal winner Elinor Barker, that is among the favourites to win the four-rider, 4km team pursuit title at next year's Commonwealths in Australia.
But she told the BBC: "It's frightening and has made me question my safety.
"I have lost a lot of confidence on the road. I know I should get straight back on the road but I will need the help of the brilliant Sport Wales psychologists who I can talk to, to build my belief back up.
"You don't ever think something like this is going to happen to you, it gave me one hell of a fright.
"My fitness is good, but I need to work on the mental side now and have a phased return to the road.
"I have a lot of soft tissue injuries and I know they take time to heal, often longer than broken bones."
Miss Horne has stepped away from British Cycling in Manchester to work full-time, as well as being funded by Welsh Cycling and training in Newport.
She will now take inspiration from fellow Welsh rider Becky James, the former double world champion, who recovered from a cancer scare and a chronic knee condition to win two silver medals at last year's Rio Olympics.
"Her Olympic silvers were like gold," said Miss Horne. "She came back from numerous injuries and I hope I can do something similar. She's an inspiration.
"It's all about the journey and learning from adversity to come back stronger."

Biobanding involves bracketing young players according to their stage of physical development instead of the traditional age-based categories.
It comes at a time when the national team has failed to qualify for a major tournament in 18 years and sits 51st in the Fifa rankings.
"We know we have to get to a stage where we are developing technically gifted players, we have to look at every avenue," said Gerry Britton - Partick Thistle's head of youth - who is pioneering the approach in Scottish football.
Britton has organised two 'biobanding festivals', the most recent involving the youth academies of Thistle, Celtic, Kilmarnock and St Mirren.
Each academy brought four teams, all based on their stage of physical maturity.
"What we're trying to achieve is create an environment whereby it's the technical aspects of the game the kids are developing," added Britton.
"We're trying to assist all players. Early-developers, we're trying to challenge them not to rely on their physicality, they have to work on other technical attributes and likewise for the late-developers to give them the opportunity to play against players in a similar stage of development. So it's just really trying to level the playing field for them."
Biobanding came to Britton's attention when Southampton organised an event based on the concept. The English FA has since staged tournaments over the past year as the principle behind biobanding grows in popularity.
"More and more heads of youth and academy directors are appreciating that there are significant advantages to giving players the opportunity to play against others at a similar stage of development," added Britton. "Hopefully we'll start to see more of these types of festivals to work in tandem with what we've got already."
Dr Niall MacFarlane a sports scientist at the University of Glasgow feels biobanding can have a role to play in developing young players, though he believes it would have a greater impact if introduced at grassroots level.
"I think that in elite youth football, it might not have to (catch on)," he said.
"I think in pro sport, the idea that people develop at different ages, at different stages, is really quite well accepted. The real issue for Scottish football is where we find that influx of new players.
"If you're scouting for a professional club where do you go to see them? You go to see them at boys clubs. And the real issue there is in the non-professional teams where we're trying to bring the new players in from, the onus on the coach there is really just to get results.
"They find it much easier to get results to just fill the team with the biggest players possible."
MacFarlane also points to evidence that the impact in football would be less noticeable than in other sports.
"We did a study with Neil Gibson from the SFA and Hearts looking at the determinants of activity levels that went to making full-time professional first-team players," he added.
"Through the youth academy at Hearts, we saw that the difference is in how fast they can run and how high they can jump, but the real markers of an elite-level performer was how quickly they changed direction, and that's not a size-dependent thing.
"That ability, that range of movement becomes much more important to play football. It's probably more important for sports like rugby where there is a health and safety issue that becomes important and I would see that the Scottish Rugby Union are driving much more towards thinking about biobanding."
Nonetheless, MacFarlane is of the view that biobanding can be "really important for Scottish football".
"If we got biobanding on board and people didn't get deselected because they hadn't become physically mature at 12 or 13, they'll engage more in football," he said.
"They'll get some fun from playing the game and we'll get more opportunity to get people in to professional sports."
Britton says Partick will continue to examine the potential benefits of the project.
"It was great to see how our early developers were more effectively challenged and our late developers gaining confidence by playing in a more realistic environment for them at this stage in their development," he told BBC Scotland.
"These players obviously have great technical ability but this is often overshadowed when playing against their peers who can use their physicality to effectively exclude them from the game."
Mexico has its tequila, Cuba has rum, Brazilians drink caipirinhas and in Peru they make pisco. In Chile and Argentina, the tipple of choice is often a cabernet sauvignon or a malbec.
You are less likely to think of craft beer.
But slowly, surely, the beer revolution that is so well established in northern Europe and North America is starting to trickle southwards.
Across Latin America, small breweries are opening up, offering alternatives to the mass-produced brands of lagers.
These emerging microbreweries account for only a tiny fraction of overall beer sales, but that fraction is expanding quickly.
"Sales of craft beer in Latin America are growing at between 20% and 40% a year, depending on which country you're in," says Daniel Trivelli, president of Copa Cervezas de America, one of the region's biggest craft beer contests.
"Here in Chile, sales are growing at 25% and craft beers have around 2% of the overall beer market. We have around 250 craft beer breweries here, producing around 1,500 different beers."
Traditionally, Latin Americans have tended to drink light low-alcohol lagers, in part due to the hot climate across much of the region.
But that is starting to change as people acquire a taste for stronger, more complex brews.
"In Brazil, despite its economic crisis, craft beer sales are growing at 40%," Mr Trivelli says.
"They still represent only around 0.8% of all beer sales but in a country of 220 million people who consume 69 litres of beer per capita each year that's still significant."
Brazilian brewers are also starting to experiment with their country's dazzling array of tropical fruits.
"The Brazilians could take over the world in beer if they use their unique ingredients," says Kristen England, a US beer expert and a judge at the recent Copa Cervezas de America contest staged in Chile.
"The Brazilians have fruits we've never heard of in the US."

Did they drink craft beer in biblical times?
Fernanda Meybom, a Brazilian beer sommelier, says some Brazilian brewers age their beers in barrels previously used to store cachaca, the powerful sugar-cane spirit which forms the basis of the country's national cocktail, the caipirinha.
"It gives the beer a unique taste," she says. "Of course, in Brazil we're more famous for our cachaca and caipirinha than our beer, but there's room for everyone. You can make a really good craft beer using traditional Brazilian elements."
And it is not just the Brazilians who are experimenting.
"I was in Ecuador two months ago and I tried a beer made by a buddy," Mr England says. "His mum makes jam from passion fruit and chilli peppers and he took the idea and made it into a beer.
"It was absolutely wonderful."
The recent Copa Cervezas de America brought together craft beer producers from 16 countries across the hemisphere, including Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Uruguay and Venezuela.
The judges sampled over 1,000 beers, ranging from dark porters and stouts to pale ales, Irish red ales, barley wines, German lagers, fruit beers, spiced beers and pilsners.
Among the brews that won prizes were Mango Magnifico, Subcomandante, Cacau Bomb, Funky Joseph and Backwoods Bastard.
Brazilian craft beers took 79 of the 175 medals on offer, followed by US beers, which still tend to set the standard.
"Every year I come down to South America and the beers get better and better," says Gordon Strong, president of the beer judge certification programme, an association of 10,000 judges worldwide.
"It's good for people here to compare their beers to those in the United States, where we've been doing this for longer.
"They're still maybe 20 years behind the US but they're learning fast."

Craft beer craze drives demand for hops in Australia
Are craft beers ‘selling out’ to your supermarket?
The craft beer industry still faces big challenges in Latin America.
In Brazil, Ms Meybom says, brewers have to pay a plethora of taxes and are campaigning to get them simplified and reduced.
Most countries in the region struggle to grow hops due to the climate and have to import them from the US and Germany, leading to a deterioration in quality.
"In South America things tend to be slower and your fresh produce can be sitting on the dock for two weeks, three weeks, in the middle of summer," says Kristen England, the US beer expert.
But in southern Chile and Argentina, where the climate is cooler, brewers are increasingly growing their own raw materials.
"We source all our ingredients locally apart from the hops and yeast," says Kevin Szot, head of the Szot microbrewery near Santiago.
"The industry is still in its infancy here but it's better than it was 10 years ago when I started.
"Back then, no one understood why the hell I wanted to make a non-industrial beer."

The Scot was a clear winner after he led Great Britain to their first Davis Cup team tennis triumph for 79 years.
Next year Murray, 28, who is set to become a father, will attempt to defend his Olympic title and seek a third Grand Slam triumph.
"The scheduling will be difficult next year but it's exciting," he said.
Murray became only the fourth person to win the BBC award twice - following boxer Henry Cooper and F1 drivers Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill - after first winning in 2013.
He finished a clear first in the public vote, with rugby league veteran Kevin Sinfield second and heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill narrowly beating boxer Tyson Fury to third place.
Murray said he had never been to Worthing, the Sussex town which featured in his self-deprecating acceptance speech.
"A friend sent me a message the other day with an article saying, 'Andy Murray is duller than a weekend in Worthing', which I thought was a bit harsh - on Worthing," he said after collecting the trophy.
On Monday the south coast town's town crier invited the Scot to visit the seaside resort.
Bob Smytherman tweeted: "Oyez! Thanks for mention of #Worthing @andy-murray you are welcome to visit us. Congratulations on #SPOTY2015 Happy to show you around town."
Murray has just returned from a training camp in Dubai and will seek a first Australian Open title in Melbourne in January, while his wife Kim is expecting their first child.
"That becomes my number one priority. In February, me and my wife's lives will change forever, and I'm sure that will be in a positive way," he said.
"A lot of the players are able to mix and balance the two in a positive way.
"Novak Djokovic is a father and just had his best year ever - his baby was born this year - and Roger Federer has four children and is still travelling at 34 years old, so you can do it.
"There's no reason for it to have a negative effect on my tennis. I'm really looking forward to it.
"As you get older, it's important to have distractions. I do put a lot of time and effort into tennis and spend a lot of time away from my family, which is something I miss."
A second win provided further evidence that the popularity of Murray, who won the US Open and Olympic gold in 2012 before triumphing at Wimbledon a year later, has increased significantly in recent years.
"The last five or six years, through all of my Wimbledon runs, obviously the Olympics was unbelievable, every time I've played Davis Cup home matches, the support has been great," he said.
"I've had absolutely zero complaints at all. Tonight I guess proved that.
"You can never please everybody but I have tried my whole career to be myself as much as I could.
"I love competing for my country and my results when I'm playing for my country are much better than when I'm playing on my own. I do genuinely love it."
The build-up to the show was dominated by media coverage of controversial comments on homosexuality and women by world heavyweight champion Fury.
At the ceremony, the Manchester fighter said: "If I've said anything in the past that's hurt anybody, I apologise."
Murray, a big boxing fan, said he had stayed up to watch Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko in November the night before he sealed GB's Davis Cup triumph over Belgium in Ghent.
"I guess it's up to the public to decide. Not everyone has to agree with what he says but that's freedom of speech and people have the right to disagree," said Murray.
"His achievement, winning against Klitschko... nearly everyone said was almost impossible. He proved everyone wrong."
A vibrant sell-out crowd of 7,500 watched the show, which was held in Northern Ireland for the first time, at the SSE Arena in Belfast.
Presenter Gary Lineker cut his hand on the trophy early on, gymnast Max Whitlock performed a routine on the top of a piano and One Direction star Niall Horan was among the celebrities who presented a trophy.

But for many the star of the show was eight-year-old Bailey Matthews, who was presented with the Helen Rollason Award for courage in the face of adversity.
A video of Matthews, who has cerebral palsy, completing his first triathlon unaided after abandoning his walking aid to cross the finishing line has been viewed on Facebook more than 27 million times.
Given a standing ovation in the arena, he prompted more applause when interviewed on BBC Radio 5 live.
When presenter John Inverdale said to him: "Look at that trophy, that's yours, how amazing is that?" He replied: "I don't think the people listening will be able to see it."
Asked if he had any ambitions and what he would like to be in the future, Matthews said: "Me."
Conte has been heavily linked with the managerial vacancy at Chelsea and this move increases the prospect of him taking over at Stamford Bridge.
The 46-year-old was appointed Italy manager in August 2014 shortly after resigning as coach of Juventus.
"I feel that I must go back to being a coach in a club to have the opportunity of coaching every day," said Conte.
Conte led the Turin club to three successive Serie A titles prior to taking on the national job.
Chelsea sacked Jose Mourinho as their manager in December 2015 and appointed Guus Hiddink on an interim basis until the end of the season.
The Blues have improved from 16th to 10th in the league under Hiddink but have been knocked out of the Champions League and FA Cup.
They face missing out on next season's Champions League unless they can make up an 11-point gap in nine games.
Conte is a former Italy midfielder who made over 500 appearances for Juventus, winning five league titles and a Champions League.
He won 35 caps for his country and was part of the squad that was beaten by France in the final of Euro 2000.
After spells coaching Arezzo, Bari, Atalanta and Siena, Conte returned to Juve in 2011 and guided them to the Serie A title at the first attempt and without losing a game.
However, he was then charged with failing to report attempted match-fixing during his time as coach of Siena.
Conte pleaded his innocence but was banned for 10 months - a sentence that was reduced to a four-month touchline suspension.
Juventus retained their Serie A title despite Conte's absence and won their third in succession the following season before his exit.
Conte took over as Italy manager following the country's disappointing group stage exit at the 2014 World Cup under Cesare Prandelli.
He has led the side to Euro 2016 qualification by finishing top of their group and remaining unbeaten, with seven wins.
Bologna manager Roberto Donadoni and Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri have been mentioned as possible replacements for Conte.
"We will make evaluations with serenity," said Tavecchio. "For now, it's time to acknowledge this and have to deal with a person who has recovered the image of the Italian national team, his commitment and sacrifice."
From that very first sip of beer, wine or vodka, the alcohol travels to your stomach and into your bloodstream.
It then makes its way around the whole body: your brain, your mood and your muscles. The process starts within minutes of your first sip.
The level of alcohol in your blood will peak about 45 to 90 minutes later, according to the NHS.
Your body sees alcohol as a poison. It can't store it, so wants to break it down and get rid of it. This is where the liver comes in.
Your liver converts alcohol into a number of different chemicals to allow your body to break it down, and get rid of it.
Enzymes do this.
In this case, the liver uses an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase to convert the alcohol into what is actually a pretty toxic substance called acetaldehyde (sometimes the production of this substance is what can make you feel hungover).
At least acetaldehyde doesn't make you feel intoxicated though, and it can be worked on more easily to shunt the rest of the alcohol from your system.
Acetaldehyde is then broken down into acetic acid (the ingredient in vinegar).
After this it's broken down into fatty acids, carbon dioxide or water, all of which the body likes.
However if you drink more than your liver can process, you start to get drunk.
This makes your blood-alcohol level rise. It is this that helps decide drink-drive limits.
Currently, the drink-drive limit is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood in England and 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood in Scotland.
Forensic toxicologist Dr Hazel Torrance says that on average, it takes a person an hour to clear between 15mg and 18mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
In real terms, that 50mg limit would mean an average man can drink just under a pint of beer or a large glass of wine and women could drink a half a pint of beer or a small glass of wine.
Having zero tolerance is not thought to be practical because alcohol can be found in things like mouthwash and desserts. However alcohol does not occur in the body naturally.
Who you are and what you do alters the effects of alcohol has on your body.
Eating a large meal before you drink slows down the effects of alcohol. This is because when you eat the combined alcohol and food stays longer in the stomach.
This means the booze isn't released into the bloodstream as quickly.
Fizzy alcohol will make you feel the effects of alcohol more quickly as the bubbles increase the pressure in your stomach, forcing alcohol into your bloodstream faster.
The other thing that can affect how alcohol is absorbed is your sex.
This is because men tend to have more muscle tissue than women.
Muscle has more water than fat, so alcohol will be diluted more in a person with more muscle tissue.
Women are also thought to have less of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which breaks down alcohol, so they will get drunk more easily.
Dr Nick Knight told Newsbeat: "Age can affect how you process alcohol too.
"Alcohol tends to be processed quicker by older people.
"People don't really know why but I suspect it's something to do with the fact that the more exposure to alcohol you have, the more the key enzymes that break down alcohol in your liver increase.
"That's why people talk about having an increased tolerance to alcohol, because the liver has adapted to cope with it.
"Stress can also affect how quickly you get drunk as when you are more stressed you get an influx of different hormones in the body including the stress hormone cortisol.
"This can increase the metabolism of alcohol in the liver. It can mean it is metabolised faster."
Particular effects of alcohol on the body make drinking dangerous for drivers. Alcohol affects the brains 'neurotransmitters', the chemicals in the brain which carry messages to other parts of the body and tell it what to do.
Alcohol makes these neurotransmitters go a bit haywire.
Dr Knight said: "There's one key neurotransmitter called Gaba (Gamma-Aminobutryric Acid). What Gaba does normally is dampen down the responses. When you get drunk and have more alcohol, you increase the amount of Gaba and that slows down your brain cells."
"A number of processes slow down. You get a reduction in your executive function, so judgement, your decision making.
"You become less inhibited and you are tempted to take more risks than you would usually. In the case of driving, you think you can make that corner, you think there is enough space between you and the car in front, and so on.
"There's the physical aspect too: the motor skills. This is how we use our arms and legs and our hands: how we make that decision to turn the wheel when we drive.
"Essentially what happens is you have that increase in that chemical Gaba and that reduction in communication in your brain cells.
"It means what your eyes see and what it tells your brain slows down. Then what your brain tells your muscles to do is also slower. Your reactions are poorer."

School kids have been submitting their questions for the British astronaut.
Hundreds have travelled to the World Museum in Liverpool to see the live stream, and others are watching from classrooms around the country.
Tim is expected to be live at 2.30 to answer their questions.
A review by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health said no "definitive explanation" was found for an increase in mortality rates at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
There were 13 unexplained deaths between January 2015 and July 2016.
The hospital said neonatal intensive care remained suspended.
The review recommended increasing staffing and improving leadership.
It found "significant gaps" in medical and nursing rotas, "poor decision-making" and "insufficient senior cover".
Medical staffing was "sufficient" for a special care unit but "inadequate" for high dependency, the report said.
Transport services in Cheshire and Merseyside were "under-resourced", it added.
The Countess of Chester, which looks after about 400 babies a year, stopped providing care for babies born earlier than 32 weeks in July last year.
Any women expected to deliver earlier were transferred to a neighbouring facility.
The hospital said that while "no single cause" had been found to explain the increase in neonatal deaths on the unit, the change to admissions would remain in place "until we are certain we have acted on all the recommendations in the review".
The review team said that there were no "obvious factors" linking the deaths. It recommended that all 13 be reviewed individually.
Ian Harvey, medical director at the hospital, said it had "acted swiftly" and those reviews had now been completed.
"When we speak with parents we can now share full and accurate information, on an individual basis. We are desperately sorry for any distress or upset this review has caused. We know those families affected have been through so much already," he said.
The review said there was an "enthusiastic" group of paediatricians complemented by a "well-led and supportive" team of nurses.
There was "robust" training and "extremely positive" relationships amongst various teams in the neonatal unit, it added.
The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said families left bereaved by the loss of their babies had always been its "primary concern", and it was already working to implement the Royal College's recommendations.
Chief executive Tony Chambers said: "It must have been devastating for them to lose their baby, and then face a period of not knowing.
"We are now able to share everything that we understand about what has happened here and our thoughts are with them."
The 6ft 9ins second-row, who has 62 caps, will be out of contract at the end of the current campaign and so is free to sign for the Premiership side.
Charteris, 32, left Newport Gwent Dragons for Perpignan in 2012 and then signed for Racing 92 in 2014.
"It is such an ambitious club and that's a great atmosphere to be joining," said Charteris.
"They put a lot of emphasis on player development, making sure that everyone is improving no matter how experienced they are, and that is a very exciting environment to be part of.
"There is some incredible talent in the squad and I'm really looking forward to heading over and getting started."
Gloucester had also held discussions with Charteris, while the Dragons had hoped to re-sign him.
Charteris will join another Wales lock, Dominic Day, who signed a contract extension in January, when he moves to the Rec from his French club.
After making his Wales debut against South Africa in 2004, Charteris featured in all five of Warren Gatland's side's matches at the World Cup.
Bath head coach Mike Ford added: "We're delighted to have one of the best locks in the world join us, and he will help us keep improving and move quickly on to that next level.
"Luke has been one of Wales's standout locks in recent years, and had a very good Rugby World Cup."
Storey, 39, became Great Britain's most successful female Paralympian at the Rio Games, winning her 14th gold medal.
Cundy, one year younger and like Storey an ex-swimmer, has seven Paralympic golds - four in cycling.
The Great Britain team will compete in both track and road World Championships this year.
The track event takes place in Los Angeles from 2-5 March while Pietermaritzburg, South Africa will host the road event from 31 August-3 September.
The 23-strong squad does not include dual-sport star Kadeena Cox, who has had her UK Sport funding suspended while she takes part in the Channel 4 winter sports show The Jump.
Other Rio gold medallists included are Megan Giglia, and the tandem pairings of Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott, Steve Bate and Adam Duggleby, and Corrine Hall and Lora Fachie. Handcyclist Karen Darke also makes the squad, as do Louis Rolfe and Jon Allan Butterworth, who won team sprint gold alongside Cundy.
London 2012 rowing gold medallist David Smith remains on the squad as he continues his rehabilitation from surgery on a spinal cord tumour.
At the Games in Brazil, ParalympicsGB cyclists topped the medal table, winning 21 medals, including 12 golds.
Head coach Jon Norfolk, said: "The squad we've named is full of Paralympic and world champions as well as a number of riders who we believe have the potential to improve and become medal-competitive over the next four-year cycle."

We know that Theresa May's government won't provide a running commentary on the Brexit process so what did we learn today?
With the government looking at protecting certain industries in Brexit negotiations, former Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb highlighted the importance of Europe to the automotive and aerospace industries in Wales.
He asked Alun Cairns: "Given that Brexit probably won't mean retaining full membership of the single market will you nevertheless commit to fighting and doing everything you possibly can to retain full single market-style benefits for those critically important sectors in the Welsh economy?"
Mr Cairns told him the UK had landed some important investments. "We want to retain the most open market arrangements and I think the confidence shown by Nissan demonstrates that they understand the priority we are placing on that."
Labour's shadow Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens wanted Ford in Bridgend to be offered the same deal as Nissan in Sunderland. She also highlighted the "potentially disastrous" impact of the loss of European Investment Bank funding.
Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats were worried about the impact of Brexit on farming and the Welsh red meat industry. Plaid parliamentary leader Hywel Williams (no vegetarian, he) asked Mr Cairns what steps he was taking "to ensure that in the future French, Italian, Spanish and German people continue to have Welsh meat and eat it?"
Alun Cairns and Guto Bebb gave little away about the government's plans. We did learn that Wales is "open for business" - whatever that means - and that Mr Cairns had had meetings with "key stakeholders".
On European funding, he suggested that Brexit offered an opportunity to do things differently with regional funds, again questioning how well £4 billion has been spent in the poorest parts of Wales over 16 years.
Mr Bebb sidestepped a question from Labour MP Paul Flynn who invited him to condemn the suggestion from Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies that after Brexit farm subsidies be decided at Westminster rather than in Cardiff.
But Ministers agreed that they they do want people in EU countries to have access to Welsh red meat. To have their steak and eat it, to coin a phrase.
Police were called to the scene on the A720, near the Dreghorn junction, just before 17:00 on Saturday.
The teenager was taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with serious injuries.
The incident involved a blue Skoda Citigo travelling westbound. Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
The road was closed until about 03:00 while an investigation was carried out.
Sgt Andy Gibb, of Police Scotland, said: "We're currently working to establish the full circumstances surrounding this collision and are asking anyone who may have witnessed this, or who has any other information which can help with our inquiries, to come forward."
The court ruled Hamza, Babar Ahmad, Syed Talha Ahsan, Adel Abdul Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz did not show "new and compelling" reasons to stay in the UK.
Their appeal came after the European Court of Human Rights backed successive UK courts in ruling for extradition.
The men have left Long Lartin prison in a police convoy.
Three police 4x4s, two armoured vans and a blacked-out police people carrier arrived at the Worcestershire jail at 18:15 BST.
A Home Office spokesman welcomed the decision and said it was "working to extradite these men as quickly as possible".
The BBC understands two US civilian jets - one of which is registered to the US Department of Justice - are on the tarmac at an air base in eastern England.
Judges Sir John Thomas and Mr Justice Ousley said in their ruling that there was an "overwhelming public interest in the functioning of the extradition system" and that there was "no appeal from our decision".
Of the long legal battle to send the men - whose extradition requests were submitted between 1998 and 2006 - to the US, Sir John told the court: "It is unacceptable that extradition proceedings should take more than a relatively short time, to be measured in months not years.
"It is not just to anyone that proceedings such as these should last between 14 and eight years."
There was no doubt each man had, over the years, "either taken or had the opportunity to take every conceivable point to prevent his extradition to the United States", he added.
The comments echoed those of James Eadie QC - representing the home secretary - who, during this week's hearing, argued the men's applications amounted to an abuse of process.
The judges' written ruling, read out in court, concluded that "each of the claimants' applications for permission to apply for judicial review or for a re-opening of the statutory appeals be dismissed".

Abu Hamza's final appeal against extradition ended in judicial fireworks in the High Court - although the judges expressed their anger in completely different terms to those used by Abu Hamza when he preached in London.
Barring an utterly unforeseen legal twist - and this case has had its fair share - the next time we'll see Abu Hamza will be in Federal Court in New York.
The battle has seen prime ministers and US presidents come and go. Six home secretaries had his file in the ministerial red box.
But put aside the courts and the politics for one moment and remember his real impact.
He caused lasting harm and enormous community tension.
And he cast a long shadow over the lives of British Muslims who wanted to get on with life - just like the Christians and Jews Abu Hamza hated.
The judges rejected a plea by Abu Hamza to delay his extradition so he could undergo an MRI brain scan which, his lawyers said, could show he was unfit to plead because of degenerative problems.
"The sooner he is put on trial the better," they said.
The 54-year-old, a former imam at Finsbury Park mosque, north London, was suffering from chronic sleep deprivation and depression as a result of eight years in prison, his lawyers added.
But during the hearing, Sir John observed there were "excellent medical facilities in the United States".
The BBC's Dominic Casciani, at the High Court, said the British government had got the result it had wanted to see for years on Abu Hamza, who the US first attempted to extradite in 2004.
His extradition was halted when the UK decided to try him on allegations relating to his sermons. He was convicted in 2006.
The judges also rejected appeals from Mr al-Fawwaz and Mr Bary, who are accused of being aides to Osama Bin Laden in London.
The US alleges they promoted violent jihad against the West and were involved in the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa, which killed more than 200 people.
The battle to stay in the UK is also over for Babar Ahmad and Talha Ahsan, who are accused of running pro-jihad website Azzam.com - which the US says was hosted there - and of helping terrorists.
In a statement prepared in prison before the verdict, Mr Ahmad said that, "By exposing the fallacy of the UK's extradition arrangements with the US, I leave with my head held high having won the moral victory."
Mr Ahmad's father, Ashfaq, said outside court he was appalled the British legal system had let him down "in a manner more befitting of a Third World country than one of the world's oldest democracies".
"We will never abandon our struggle for justice for Babar and the truth will eventually emerge of what will be forever remembered as a shameful chapter in the history of Britain," he added.
And Emma Norton, legal officer for human rights group Liberty, said that, as Mr Ahmad's alleged offences took place in the UK, "It beggars belief that he won't be tried here."
"Isn't British justice - so admired around the world - capable of dealing with crimes committed in the UK by its own citizens?" she added.
In a statement released by its embassy in London, the US said it was "pleased" the men were being extradited after "a lengthy process of litigation".
"The law enforcement relationship between the United States and United Kingdom is predicated on trust, respect, and the common goals of protecting our nations and eliminating safe havens for criminals, including terrorists," it added.
Lord Reid, who was home secretary in 2006 and 2007, meanwhile, said that like "the vast majority of people in this country" he had a sense of satisfaction "that justice, or at least this sense of the judicial process" had been complete.
He told BBC News "The propriety, the attention, the compassion, the legal approach that has been taken on this by the British stands in marked contrast to what was meted out to the victims of some of these alleged crimes."
But he urged the home secretary to look at the length of time the legal process took "because there is no doubt there has been a degree of frustration".
BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman said the judges had thrown down the gauntlet for Parliament to look at judicial reviews - which can be used to re-open issues that have already been decided.
One of the challenges was to stop suspects from storing up last-minute legal challenges that frustrated the courts and bewildered the public, he added.
The "daring" nude sculpture sold for £11.6m after five minutes of bidding, auctioneers Sotheby's said.
The bronze Iris, Messenger of the Gods, is very rare as it was cast during Rodin's lifetime and had been estimated to reach between £6m and £8m.
The previous auction record for a Rodin was set in 2008 when his sculpture of Eve sold in New York for £9.6m.
The Iris sculpture last appeared at auction in 2007 at Sotheby's in London when it sold for £4.6m.
It is one of only two casts made in Rodin's lifetime that are still in private hands. The remaining five are in museums.
Rodin created Iris between 1890 and 1891. The sculpture that sold on Wednesday was cast between 1902 and 1905.
Auguste Rodin died in 1917 at the age of 77.
Iris is said to be the personification of the rainbow in Greek mythology and was a link between the gods and mankind.
According to the Rodin Museum, the work's explicit pose "aroused not only indignation but also fascination" and "suggests the movements of the French Can-Can and a gymnast stretching her limbs".
Wednesday's sale also saw Pablo Picasso's Tete de femme, a 1935 portrait, sell for £18.9m.
Helena Newman of Sotheby's said there had been a "depth of bidding from a broad international spectrum" during the sale, which saw five lots selling for more than £7m.
The league's top scorer, formerly of Manchester City, drove his kick wide when the game was goalless.
He did, though, seal victory with a fine first-time finish after Radja Nainggolan had bobbled in an angled first-half shot to put Roma in front.
"Next time I might leave the penalties for someone else to take," Dzeko said.
"I got my goal in the end and that's the important thing. Penalties can be missed. It happens."
Footage of his first penalty miss, during a 1-0 win at Udinese on 15 January, went viral on social media after he blazed his kick well over the bar.
However, the Bosnia-Herzegovina international has been prolific in front of goal for Roma, scoring his 18th Serie A goal of the campaign from a Mohamed Salah cutback with 13 minutes to play.
The victory moves Roma back above Napoli, who beat Genoa 2-0 on Friday, but both sides continue to trail leaders Juventus.
Crotone, promoted from Serie B last May, have not been out of the relegation zone all season, and remain next to bottom.
Roma travel to Spain to face Villarreal in the first leg of a Europa League round of 32 tie on Thursday.

It includes over 10,000 assault rifles, machine guns, pistols, revolvers, and 400 shells and grenades.
The guns and ammunition were seized in January during an operation against firearms trafficking.
Investigators also found an illegal workshop with machinery to manipulate and reactivate weapons, near Bilbao. Five people were arrested.
Cash amounting to 80,000 euros (£70,000 / $85,000) was seized.
The operation involved counter-terror police from Madrid, Bilbao, Valencia and Gerona.
Europol, which supported the investigation, said the firearms were sold in Spain, France and Belgium.
It said some of the weapons were deactivated, but did not comply with established standards.
Criminals acquired the arsenal largely through auctions and other legal channels before reactivating it.
The gang had been using a sports shop as a front for its distribution centre - which in reality sold firearms, weapon components and ammunition.
Police said the weapons would have had an easy journey onto the black market, and into the hands of terrorists or organised crime groups.
Europol said firearms traffickers exploit legal loopholes and legislative differences between EU countries to divert guns from legal suppliers.
Reactivating deactivated weapons is one of Europe's main sources of illegal guns.
The agency said it had seen a significant increase in the number being supplied to criminals since 2014.
Saeed Mortazavi was convicted of misappropriation and wasting public goods.
The offences are said to have taken place while he was in charge of Iran's social welfare system in 2012 and 2013.
He has previously been the subject of US sanctions, accused of "sustained and severe violations of human rights".
State television quoted prosecutors as saying the sentence was too light and that they planned to lodge a complaint.
His sentence is also open to appeal.
Mortazavi, a close ally of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has been fiercely criticised by reformists and human rights organisations.
He rose to prominence in the early 2000s, when he was instrumental in shutting down reformist newspapers and imprisoning journalists.
He was also linked to the case of Zahra Kazemi, an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist, who died in 2003 after being arrested.
However, his fortunes began to change after the authorities put down mass protests that erupted after Mr Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election in 2009.
Parliament held him responsible for the deaths of three protesters who had been imprisoned.
The trio died of injuries obtained during their time in Kahrizak prison. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responded to the public outcry by closing the prison entirely.
Mortazavi was subsequently appointed as head of Iran's State Welfare Organisation, during which time the alleged corruption took place.
He was removed from that role in January 2013 due to pressure from parliament. But Mr Ahmadinejad quickly reappointed him in a caretaker capacity.
In 2014, Mortazavi was disbarred and banned from holding public office for five years, after the Supreme Court upheld a ruling that he ordered the torture of the three dead protesters in 2009.
Iran continues to use forms of punishment widely condemned by other nations.
Human rights groups such as Amnesty International say punishments including blinding, being made deaf, or amputation are common.
Sajid Raza, 42, and two other members of staff - Shabana Hussain, 38, and Daud Khan, 43 - will go on trial in June 2016 charged with a number of offences relating to their involvement at Kings Science Academy.
The charges relate to the period between April and August 2011.
Leeds Crown Court heard the trial would last six weeks.
Ex-principal Mr Raza, of Spring Gardens Road, Bradford, faces three charges of fraud, three of false accounting, two of obtaining a money transfer by deception and one of fraud by false representation.
Former head of department Ms Hussain, of Wilmer Road, Bradford, is charged with one offence of fraud by abuse of position and one offence of acquiring criminal property.
Ex-director of finance Mr Khan, of Thornhill Place, Thornbury, is charged with two offences of fraud by abuse of position and three offences of false accounting.
All three are accused of abusing their positions as officers of the academy by making a series of unauthorised and unlawful payments into the personal bank accounts of Mr Raza and Ms Hussain from a grant provided to the school by the Department for Education.
No pleas were entered at the hearing on Friday.
The academy was one of the first free schools to open in September 2011. It has since become part of the Dixons academy group.
But behind the clichés, the characters can also demonstrate determination, compassion, ambition - and fearlessness.
The England women's football team believes the traits of Disney princesses are exactly what you need to be come a successful player.
The Football Association (FA) has joined with Disney on a campaign that focuses on the character's strong attributes - to encourage more young females into football.
Striker Nikita Parris said: "My favourite Disney princess is Ariel from The Little Mermaid because she was fearless.
"I was the same when it came to playing football with the boys in my home town. I had to be determined in order to make it."
Captain Steph Houghton added: "Being brave, being strong and being kind are all important attributes when it comes to building a successful team.
"They are all qualities that girls can learn from Disney princesses."
But can modern girls pick up anything from the likes of Disney's 80-year-old Snow White - who cleans up after a bunch of men and needs a prince to save her?
Current Miss England Stephanie Hill, 22, thinks they can.
She dresses up as Disney princesses for children at Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice near Sheffield.
She believes Disney princesses, both old and modern, can be positive role models for young women.
"I think the more vintage Disney princesses that are scrutinised, like Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, who people depict as waiting for success to come to them, can be inspirational.
"In the end they had similar drive. They wanted a better life and it just so happened male figures came into that.
"The famous quote is Cinderella didn't ask for a prince, she asked for a night off and a dress.
"Every single Disney princess has had to go through trouble to get where they want to be.
"They show the struggle and that you can get through the other side with enough work and support and a positive can-do attitude."
Over the years, Disney has moved away from depicting its princesses as delicate and demure.
The late 1980s saw an ambitious mermaid Ariel defy her dad to achieve her dream of becoming a human - even if she did sacrifice her voice for a man.
Belle in Beauty and the Beast and Jasmine in Aladdin had an independent streak, while Mulan showed women could fight just as well as men - if not better.
In 2009, Tiana became Disney's first black princess and 2012's Merida from Brave showed off an adventurous spirit and a love of archery.
Despite not being official Disney princesses, Frozen's Elsa and Anna have been praised for putting sisterhood at the heart of their happiness.
And Disney's newest female heroine Moana was depicted with an average body type and without a love interest.
Suzie Longstaff, headteacher of the all-girls Putney High School in south-west London, has done assemblies about empowering girls through Disney princesses.
She says: "Disney have come a long away, and my two children have grown up with Elsa and Anna and Moana and Ariel. They are all so much better female role models.
"They have traits that the FA is extolling, and any way we can empower girls to believe in themselves through role modelling they recognise and enjoy is fantastic.
"My five-year-old is permanently dressed as Moana at the moment. I think she is a great strong girl who can stand up for herself."
However, Mrs Longstaff thinks some of the older Disney princesses do not portray strong female characteristics.
"I said to the girls at school that the one role model I wish my girls wouldn't dress up as is Cinderella.
"She sits around for years for her prince to come along and in this day and age we can't encourage girls to do that. They must go out and stand up for themselves.
"Disney and the FA are on the road but there is a long way to go to completely equalise the perception of female and male role models as well as diversity."
Disney appears to be keen to move away from focusing on the stereotypes of what makes a princess.
Last year it launched a ten-point checklist of what it takes to be a Disney princess - and it didn't include the need to wear a tiara or a ball gown.
Instead, they included being honest, trying your best and never giving up.
Siobhan Corria, head of inclusion for charity Action for Children, says there is a role for the more modern Disney princesses in inspiring young women.
However, she believes there are more contemporary role models girls can aspire to.
"I think that more recent Disney characters that don't fit gender stereotypes are inspirational for young girls in terms of achieving things," she says.
"It's good to see Disney keep up with the changing times.
"But I'd prefer organisations like Disney to really be shattering the gender stereotypes as much as possible and give both genders non-traditional roles as a way of inspiring people."
The influential Pisa rankings, run by the OECD, are based on tests taken by 15-year-olds in more than 70 countries.
The UK remains a middle-ranking performer - behind countries such as Japan, Estonia, Finland and Vietnam.
OECD education director Andreas Schleicher said Singapore was "not only doing well, but getting further ahead".

Singapore, named as the top rated country for maths and science in another ranking last week, is in first place in all the Pisa test subjects, ahead of school systems across Asia, Europe, Australasia and North and South America.
What is Pisa? In three sentences
The Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) provides education rankings based on international tests taken by 15-year-olds in maths, reading and science.
The tests, run by the OECD and taken every three years, have become increasingly influential on politicians who see their countries and their policies being measured against these global school league tables.
Asian countries continue to dominate, with Singapore rated as best, replacing Shanghai, which is now part of a combined entry for China.
Singapore has replaced Shanghai as the previous top-ranked education system - with Shanghai no longer appearing as a separate entry in these school rankings.
There had been debate over whether Shanghai was representative of school standards across China - and this year, for the first time, Shanghai is included in a wider figure for China, based on schools in four provinces.
This combined Chinese ranking is in the top 10 for maths and science, but does not make the top 20 for reading.
Hong Kong and Macao also appear among the high-achieving education systems.
The US has again failed to make progress.
"We're losing ground - a troubling prospect when, in today's knowledge-based economy, the best jobs can go anywhere in the world,'' said the US Education Secretary, John King.
Asian education systems dominate the upper reaches of the these results tables - accounting for the top seven places for maths, with Singapore followed by Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, China and South Korea.
Finland, Estonia, Canada and Ireland are the only non-Asian nations to get into any of the top five rankings across all three subjects.
Mr Schleicher said that Asian countries such as Singapore managed to achieve excellence without wide differences between children from wealthy and disadvantaged families.
He described Vietnam's progress as "quite remarkable", coming ahead of Germany and Switzerland in science - and ahead of the US in science and maths.
Among South American countries, Mr Schleicher highlighted the improvements in Peru and Colombia.
But the UK has failed to make any substantial improvement - despite education ministers in England making the Pisa rankings an important measurement of progress.
Within the UK, Wales had the lowest results at every subject.
Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said: "We can all agree we are not yet where we want to be."
But she said that "hard work is underway" to make improvements in Wales - and that it was important to "stay the course".
Scotland trails behind England and Northern Ireland - recording its worst results in these Pisa rankings.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the "results underline the case for radical reform of Scotland's education system".
England had the strongest results in the UK, but compared with previous years, Mr Schleicher said "performance hasn't moved at all".
The OECD education chief highlighted concerns about the impact of teacher shortages - saying that an education system could never exceed the quality of its teachers.
"There is clearly a perceived shortage," he said, warning that head teachers saw a teacher shortage as "a major bottleneck" to raising standards.
So why is Singapore so successful at education?
Singapore only became an independent country in 1965.
And while in the UK the Beatles were singing We Can Work It Out, in Singapore they were really having to work it out, as this new nation had a poor, unskilled, mostly illiterate workforce.
The small Asian country focused relentlessly on education as a way of developing its economy and raising living standards.
And from being among the world's poorest, with a mix of ethnicities, religions and languages, Singapore has overtaken the wealthiest countries in Europe, North America and Asia to become the number one in education.
Prof Sing Kong Lee, vice-president of Nanyang Technological University, which houses Singapore's National Institute of Education, said a key factor had been the standard of teaching.
"Singapore invested heavily in a quality teaching force - to raise up the prestige and status of teaching and to attract the best graduates," said Prof Lee.
The country recruits its teachers from the top 5% of graduates in a system that is highly centralised.
All teachers are trained at the National Institute of Education, and Prof Lee said this single route ensured quality control and that all new teachers could "confidently go through to the classroom".
This had to be a consistent, long-term approach, sustained over decades, said Prof Lee.
Education was an "eco-system", he said, and "you can't change one part in isolation".
Nicola Sturgeon said he was "only interested in David Cameron's job" and Conservative Amber Rudd also attacked his reported leadership ambitions.
He said it was easier to concentrate on "personal stuff" and said the Leave side were offering "hope" over fear.
Immigration, the economy and NHS funding dominated the debate.
Mr Johnson drew much of the fire from politicians on the Remain side - Labour's Angela Eagle, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and his own Conservative colleague, Energy Secretary Amber Rudd.
He was repeatedly accused of eyeing David Cameron's job - the prime minister has said he will not seek a third term.
"I think you only care about one job and that's your next one," said Ms Eagle to Mr Johnson.
But Mr Johnson said he was backing the campaign to leave the EU because Mr Cameron had not secured changes in his EU renegotiation which would have allowed him to cut net migration below 100,000.
"There has got to be democratic consent for the scale of the flows that we are seeing." he said.
In her closing remarks, Ms Rudd described Mr Johnson as the "life and soul of the party but not the man you want driving you home at the end of the evening".
Mr Johnson responded by describing being in the EU as being locked in the back of a car, headed in the wrong direction "to a destination you wouldn't want to go".

The "outers" were all on the same script.
The "remainers" all had one target - Boris Johnson, who was repeatedly accused, even by his Cabinet colleague Amber Rudd, of being more interested in his own ambition than in the referendum.
The central disputes were all rehearsed - the Out campaign was attacked for not spelling out a precise vision of how the economy would be affected if we leave the EU.
The remain camp was accused of filling voters with fear about what would happen. Migration was a constant theme.
Both sides, inevitably perhaps, claimed victory within minutes.
But while remain clearly tried to diminish the out camp's biggest figure, Boris Johnson, despite two hours of bad tempers, the dynamics of the campaign stay the same.
The former London mayor, alongside Labour's Gisela Stuart and Conservative Andrea Leadsom accused Remain of a "miserable" campaign and getting "personal" while avoiding the key issues.
Mr Johnson, for Leave urged voters to "believe in ourselves" and "take back control" while his Conservative colleague Amber Rudd - making the case to remain in the EU - said that "as a mother", she did not want to take the "risk" of leaving the EU with her children's future.
On immigration - Mrs Leadsom, for Leave, said people were "genuinely struggling with access to public services" and the Remain side had "no answer" to that.
Labour's Angela Eagle, for Remain, said there were no "simple solutions" to the issue but Nicola Sturgeon said "our economy would suffer if we pull up the drawbridge".
The answer to pressure on public services is to invest more in them, she added, blaming government cuts for some of the problems.
And Ms Rudd accused her Conservative colleague Mrs Leadsom of "scaremongering" with her tone over immigration, after she said the UK was "not even in control of our borders".
The debate heated up over the controversial claim by the Leave camp that the UK sends £350m a week to the EU - which critics point out does not include the UK's rebate. Ms Eagle pointed at the Leave campaigners, telling them to "get that lie off your bus" while claiming it was an "absolute whopper".
But Ms Leadsom, for Leave, said when people gave their salaries they did not deduct NI and tax and the rebate and EU subsidies were controlled by the EU: "£10bn a year goes to the EU which we never see again," she said.
The debate, moderated by ITV's Julie Etchingham, was held hours before the deadline for registering to vote and two weeks before polling day - 23 June.
The Blues were reported to have offered £35m for the 21-year-old.
Italy Under-21 international Romagnoli joined Milan from Roma for £21.25m last summer.
"The player is not for sale, therefore this negotiation will not continue," read a statement on the Rossoneri's website.
Romagnoli made his Serie A debut aged 17 and has made 77 senior appearances for Roma, Milan and Sampdoria.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, a former Juventus and Italy boss, has so far signed midfielder N'Golo Kante from Leicester and Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi.

But this season the name that's on everyone's lips is Leicester City.
And they play against Arsenal today.
The club's currently top of the league table so Martin's been to the city to find out the secret to their recent success.
A University of Leicester team installed a seismometer near Leicester City's King Power stadium and reported a minor quake with a magnitude of 0.3.
The tremor was attributed to a "sudden energy release" made by Foxes fans when Leonardo Ulloa scored a last-minute winner against Norwich, in February.
The event has been labelled the "Vardy Quake" after top scorer Jamie Vardy.
Live updates and more from Leicestershire
A seismometer was installed by geology students, and the British Geological Survey (BGS), at Hazel Community Primary School, 500m (0.3 miles) from the King Power Stadium, as part of a project to detect earthquakes around the world.
However, Paul Denton, a seismologist from the BGS, said the team wondered if football fans would affect the detectors.
He said: "The seismometers were actually closer to the Leicester Tigers [rugby] ground and so we were expecting stronger signals from there but we can't find anything.
"It says something about the nature of football, it's so tense and then we get four or five seconds of unexpected magic.
"[In Leicester's case] it was in the 89th minute, the game was practically over.
"It wasn't just a case of cheering or clapping, it was 30,000 people standing up at the same time - an awful amount of energy."
The scientist who recorded similar results at the Reading music festival and freight trains passing through the city, said he would like to see how Leicester compares with other football clubs.
He said it could inspire children to get more interested in science.
Leicester City have been the surprise package in the Premier League this season and are clear at the top by five points with nine games left to play.
The students will continue to monitor the Foxes' home games and will provide updates via the @VardyQuake Twitter account.
Nicholas Paget-Brown said he would co-operate "in full" with the government's inquiry into the Grenfell Tower disaster and any other investigations, amid criticism of the council.
Some 58 people are dead or missing, presumed dead, police have said.
The recovery operation has resumed but could take weeks.
Meanwhile, the Home Office said it was making arrangements for the family of one of those who died in the fire to travel from Syria to Britain for his funeral.
Mohammed Alhajali, who was 23 and a civil engineering student, was the first victim to be named.
Following criticisms of Kensington and Chelsea Council's handling of the disaster, Mr Paget-Brown said "lessons must be learned", adding that he was "heartbroken by the tragic fire and the appalling loss of life".
He said: "Kensington and Chelsea council is working closely with the government, charities, volunteer and resident groups and the emergency services to help re-house and assist all those affected.
"Of course, people rightly have questions about the causes of the fire and why it spread so quickly and these will be answered."
On Saturday Theresa May admitted support for families in the "initial hours" was "not good enough".
The statement came after Mrs May met volunteers and some of the people made homeless by the fire.
Residents caught up in the fire have previously condemned the relief effort as "absolute chaos".
As they left Number 10, one representative spoke to reporters briefly, saying they had spoken to the prime minister for two and a half hours about their demands and what they expected.
In her statement, Mrs May said: "Frankly, the support on the ground for families who needed help or basic information in the initial hours after this appalling disaster was not good enough."
She said phone lines would be better staffed and more staff would be deployed in the area.
They would wear high-visibility clothing so they could easily be found, dispense advice and ensure the right support is provided, she added.
Mrs May also said she expected to announce the name of the judge for a public inquiry within the next few days.
The inquiry will report back to the prime minister.
She has told councils to complete urgent safety checks on similar tower blocks.
Mrs May has come in for a barrage of criticism over her response to the disaster, including being jeered when she visited the North Kensington estate on Friday.
On Saturday afternoon, hundreds of protesters gathered in Whitehall, to call for her resignation.
But First Secretary of State Damian Green defended the prime minister, saying she was as "distraught as we all are".
The government has committed £5m for clothes, food and emergency supplies for the victims.
The Queen used her official birthday message to reflect on the "sombre national mood" following tragedies in London and Manchester in recent weeks.
She said, in an unprecedented statement, that she had been "profoundly struck by the immediate inclination of people throughout the country to offer comfort and support to those in desperate need".
So far in the investigation:
The fire broke out at the 24-storey block, which contained 120 one and two-bedroom flats, shortly before 01:00 BST on Wednesday.
It tore through all floors of the building and took more than 200 firefighters 24 hours to bring under control.
Two neighbouring Tube lines are to be partly suspended into a second day amid safety concerns of debris falling on to the tracks.
The Hammersmith and City Line has been suspended between Edgware Road and Hammersmith, and the Circle Line is also closed, Transport for London said.
TfL said the lines were expected to be suspended until 14:00 on Sunday.

Paul Lyons and Toni Ackerman subjected the man to a two-hour ordeal, including burning him with an iron.
They then disconnected his phone and locked him in his home in Thurcroft to stop him getting help following the attack in October.
Lyons, 47, from Denaby, and Ackerman, 35, from Doncaster were convicted of robbery and attempted murder.
Live updates on this story and others from Sheffield and South Yorkshire
Sheffield Crown Court heard Lyons and Ackerman had befriended the 55-year-old man before launching their "vicious" attack.
Police discovered the victim locked inside his house and covered in blood after being called to the property at about 21:45 GMT on 27 October.
Lyons and Ackerman were later arrested after they were seen covered in blood and carrying the man's television.
Det Con Janelle Dexter-Lowe said: "This was a vicious, targeted attack on a vulnerable and defenceless man carried out by two evil individuals.
"The man was effectively tortured in his own home for up to two hours, during which time he was punched, stamped on, stabbed and burnt with an iron.
"He was also dragged around the house while Lyons and Ackerman ransacked his home, looking for valuables before locking him in."
She said the victim was recovering from the ordeal, adding: "I hope that today's sentence will give him some comfort and contribute to his recovery."
Leigh's Mr Turner stars Timothy Spall as the artist JMW Turner, while Loach's Jimmy's Hall dramatises the deportation of a 1930s Irish activist.
David Cronenberg, Tommy Lee Jones and The Artist director Michel Hazavinicius are also in contention for the prestigious Palme d'Or award.
The 67th Cannes Film Festival runs from 14 to 25 May.
Other directors to be included in this year's official competition line-up include 83-year-old Jean-Luc Godard, Canada's Atom Egoyan and Belgian siblings Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne.
Animated sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2 will screen out of competition, as will this year's opening night film Grace of Monaco, starring Nicole Kidman.
Festival organisers have also announced the line-up of the Un Certain Regard section, which will this year feature the directorial debut of Hollywood star Ryan Gosling.
Mad Men's Christina Hendricks and former Doctor Who Matt Smith are among the cast of Lost River, a dark fantasy formerly known as How to Catch a Monster.
This year's line-up features two appearances from Robert Pattinson, who plays the lead role in Cronenberg's Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars.
The Twilight actor also appears in The Rover, an Australian crime drama that will have a special midnight screening at this year's event.
The line-up does not include films by Paul Thomas Anderson, Terrence Malick, Woody Allen and others that had been tipped for inclusion by some industry pundits.
Yet it does include two films by female directors - Naomi Kawase of Japan and Alice Rohrwacher of Italy - following criticisms of 2012's all-male shortlist.
New Zealand's Jane Campion, whose film The Piano was named joint winner of the Palme d'Or in 1993, will head this year's main competition jury.
The Homesman, a period western that Tommy Lee Jones both directs and stars in alongside Meryl Streep and Hilary Swank, is one of two US titles among the 18 on the official shortlist.
The other is Foxcatcher, in which Anchorman's Steve Carell stars as an eccentric millionaire whose dealings with a pair of Olympic wrestlers lead to murder.
Veteran auteur Jean-Luc Godard's Goodbye to Language is the shortest film in the line-up with a running time of just 70 minutes.
The longest is Winter's Sleep, the latest film from Turkey's Nuri Bilge Ceylan, which runs for three hours and 16 minutes.
The Dardennes return with Two Days, One Night, a drama starring French actress Marion Cotillard, having previously won the Palme d'Or in 1999 and 2005.
Hazavinicius, whose silent film homage The Artist went on to win five Oscars following its Cannes premiere in 2011, will also return with his follow-up feature The Search.
Starring the French director's actress wife Berenice Bejo and Annette Bening, it tells of an NGO worker who bonds with a young boy in war-torn Chechnya.
Egoyan, meanwhile, will premiere The Captive, a thriller starring Ryan Reynolds as a father trying to recover his kidnapped daughter.
Loach has become a regular at France's historic film festival over the years, having previously been shortlisted for the Palme d'Or on 11 occasions.
The 77-year-old, who won the Palme in 2006 with The Wind that Shakes the Barley, has let it known that Jimmy's Hall - named after a rural dance hall built by the political activist Jimmy Gralton - may be his last fictional feature.
"Looks like we made it folks - Jimmy's Hall is heading to #Cannes2014," his production company Sixteen Films posted on Twitter. "Thanks to all the team who made it happen!"
Leigh has been in contention on four previous occasions, winning the Palme d'Or in 1996 with Secrets and Lies.
"It's a great honour to be in competition in Cannes for the fifth time, and I'm over the moon!," said the 71-year-old on Thursday.
In a statement Ben Roberts, director of the British Film Institute's Film Fund, sent his congratulations to Leigh and Loach and said it had been "a privilege to work with two true masters of British cinema at their finest".
He predicted their "wonderful films" would "light up the Croisette" - the main Mediterranean-facing boulevard in Cannes - "with their colourful, transcendent reflections on life and love, politics and change, art and music".
A complete list of this year's official selection is available on the Cannes Film Festival website.
Figures show more than 2,000 offences were recorded in February alone since the 50mph cameras went live in January.
Motorists are thought to have paid out more than half a million pounds in fines during the past six months.
Wales Road Casualty Reduction Partnership GoSafe emphasised it was not a money-making venture.
Some 6,964 offences were recorded along the stretch of M4 from 1 January to 3 June 2015.
Motorists caught speeding were initially sent a cautionary letter, but from 19 January the usual speeding sanctions were enforced such as fines, court action and speed awareness courses.
Chris Hume, partnership manager at GoSafe, told BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad programme the number of offences averaged 50 a day - a "small proportion" of the 75,000 vehicles that use the road every day.
And he said detecting speed and road safety was not about money raising.
"The money doesn't come to us. Central government, who do take the money in terms of fines, have no impact in terms of where we put cameras... that's down to us," he said.
"It's a 50mph limit because the road itself is a very difficult road to go along. It was built in the 1960s. It was built as a by-pass.
"It's really difficult to see when people are coming on to the motorway and therefore there's quite a bit of sudden braking or accelerating... and because of that it's an area that we have to be very cautious of."
Claire Armstrong, from Safe Speed which campaigns against the use of speed cameras, claimed they could cause an accident.
"Speed cameras have never been proved to reduce speeds, the courses have no proof that they make drivers drive better, and it's taking money back with those grants, back to the people who are funding the speed cameras, so that they can produce more speed cameras," she said.

The debate - the first ahead of the 23 June poll - is aimed at young voters.
You've told us whether you're voting to leave or remain - in or out - and about the issues of concern to you ahead of the referendum to decide Britain's future in Europe.

The 291-foot (88m) flag - India's second tallest - was unveiled on 2 June to mark the second anniversary of Telangana, India's 29th state.
But the tricolour flag has already been damaged by winds thrice, and has had to be replaced by new ones.
India's laws say a damaged flag cannot be flown and can be hoisted again after repairs.
The flag, which cost 18m rupees ($265,064; £200,000) to put up, has been installed near the 455-year-old picturesque Hussainsagar lake.
The flag is made of polyester, but experts say the fabric lacks strength to cope with wind speeds reaching 140km/h (85 mph) near the lake.
"These large flags always give problems. We had initially procured five flags but realising the frequency with which they have to be changed, we have ordered for five more to be delivered immediately," said Ganapati Reddy, an engineer with the government's roads and buildings department.
Each new flag would cost the exchequer 115,000 rupees, he added.
Authorities are now toying with the idea of using pochampally, a fabric native to Telangana, to make a new flag which would be able to withstand the wind pressure better than polyester.
However, the new fabric is likely to add to the weight of the 65kg flag.
The Telangana government also wants to find out about the material used in the world's tallest flag (560 foot) in Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia, where the flag itself weighs 570kg.
Experts say many national flags are being damaged by winds in India. They say flags need to be durable for extreme weather conditions without being too heavy.
The chief of the Flag Foundation of India, KV Singh, said a 207-foot national flag in the capital, Delhi, tore 11 times in May and June.
"This despite the Delhi flag being a smaller flag than the one in Hyderabad. So damage is normal when the flag is high," says Mr Singh.
India's tallest national flag - 293 foot - was hoisted in the eastern city of Ranchi in January.
However, India's Border Security Force (BSF) plans to install India's tallest flag - 350 foot - at the Wagah border with Pakistan in Punjab by January next year.
"We had suggested to hoist a smaller flag to avoid frequent damage but the aim is to ensure that the Indian flag is visible from Lahore in Pakistan," Mr Singh said.

South Korea's version of the pickled cabbage dish won a place on the Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2013.
Now Unesco says the rival version from the North - or rather the intricate process of making it - could also be worthy of a place.
But which version would win a taste test? The BBC's Stephen Evans sits down to find out.
Mark Reckless said the "Cardiff Bay establishment" saw more devolution as a way to boost its power and importance.
He said he did not understand why a consensus was emerging in support of income tax powers without a referendum.
Labour said UKIP's values were "not shared by the vast majority in Wales".
UKIP got more than 200,000 votes in Wales at the general election - more than both Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats - but did not win any seats.
The party is likely to pick up several assembly seats next May as the election has an element of proportional representation.
Former Tory MP Mr Reckless, now UKIP's head of policy development, said the party would campaign for directly elected health boards, the return of grammar schools, and more powers being devolved to councils.
He claimed "most people in Wales" did not want to see more powers devolved along the lines of the Scottish model.
"There seems to be a distance from what I describe as the Cardiff Bay establishment and just people I speak to on the doorstep in Wales," said Mr Reckless.
"They're out of touch with voters. And I think part of that is the Cardiff Bay establishment sees devolution as something that's about them and about their powers and their importance."
Mr Reckless said UKIP accepted devolution and wanted to "make it work", but rejected the idea of Welsh powers over income tax without public approval in a referendum.
"We don't want to see taxes raised and I don't think there's any burning desire from people in Wales to be paying yet more tax than people in England," he said.
"I don't understand why there's such a consensus in the Cardiff Bay establishment that that's the way to go, having promised that that wouldn't happen back in 2011," he added, referring to the last devolution referendum in Wales.
Political commentator Daran Hill said UKIP's description of a "Cardiff Bay establishment" could be effective.
"I think UKIP can capitalise with people who don't want the assembly at all," he said.
"They can also capitalise with people who are disillusioned with the assembly.
"I think there might be a market where people might just be fed up of hearing about talk of more powers, tax-raising powers, law-making powers."
A spokesman for Welsh Labour said: "UKIP's values are not ones shared by the vast majority in Wales.
"That they have sent a right-wing former Tory MP from Kent to Wales to tell people what they should think shows how poorly they understand Wales."
The spokesman added that First Minister Carwyn Jones had never ruled out a referendum on income tax, but noted other parts of the UK were getting more powers without such a poll.
The Welsh Conservatives said UKIP were "out of touch" on devolution, and said they wanted people to "have a say" on income tax powers through a referendum.
Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Liberal Democrats both said they believed income tax powers should be devolved without a referendum.
Lochte, 32, had told a TV interview that he and three other members of the US swimming team had been robbed at gunpoint at a petrol station.
Brazilian police later determined, partly based on CCTV footage, that Lochte had largely made up the story.
He was charged with making a false statement and banned from swimming.
But an appeal court in Rio de Janeiro has thrown out the case, the Associated Press reports, saying Lochte's robbery claims "did not rise to the level of filing a false crime report". This is because the claim was made to a broadcaster and not to police.
"We are pleased that the court has finally dismissed the criminal prosecution against Mr Lochte, while also acknowledging that he committed no crime while in Brazil," Lochte's lawyer Jeff Ostrow told USA Today.
Prosecutors can still appeal against the court's decision but Ostrow added: "We are hopeful that the prosecution accepts the court's decision so that this story can finally be put to rest."
Lochte is one of the most successful swimmers in history, with 12 Olympic medals - including six golds.
He swam in two events in Rio, winning gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay.
Lochte and team-mates Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen had been out celebrating the end of the swimming competition on August 15, 2016.
Lochte later said in an interview with NBC that they were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi by men with a police badge as they returned to the Olympic village from a party.
But police investigating the case said they have found no evidence of the robbery. They also pointed to "inconsistencies" in the swimmers' accounts.
Video showed the athletes getting into a confrontation with security guards at a petrol station and Lochte later apologised for his behaviour.
Lochte and Feigen were ordered to stay in Brazil to face questions but Lochte had already returned to the US.
Lochte was banned by the US swimming team for his behaviour, a suspension that expired on June 30, 2017, and he missed the US World Championship trials.
Lochte was also dropped by four of his major sponsors, including Speedo USA and Ralph Lauren.
Bentz and Conger were pulled off a US-bound plane by police, though they were subsequently allowed to leave after questioning.
Feigen agreed to pay $11,000 (£8,250) to a Brazilian charity after he was allowed to return home.
All three were each banned from swimming for four months.
Lochte is now preparing to return to competitive swimming but pulled out of this weekend's Los Angeles Invitational.
"It's been a long suspension but it's over," Lochte tweeted on 1 July. "I've learned and became a better man from it."
Mr Tuft regularly appeared on the Gerry Anderson Show to offer advice on rural life that typically descended into comedic chatter with the presenter.
He died in a fire at his home outside Loughbrickland earlier this month.
BBC Radio Ulster's Sean Coyle, who co-presented the Gerry Anderson Show, was among those who attended Mr Tuft's funeral.
It took place at Aghaderg Parish Church in Loughbrickland, a short distance from where Mr Tuft lived.
It follows a consultative ballot by the Unite union of members employed by companies represented by the Caterers Offshore Trade Association (Cota).
They previously rejected an offer in February.
Unite said staff had "had enough". Cota said it was "extremely disappointed" that Unite was pressing ahead with an industrial ballot.

Bank of America and Wells Fargo reported earnings Thursday morning. Both set aside cash to cover exposure to the energy industry.
Shares in Bank of America gained 2.5%, despite reporting a 18% drop in profit from a year earlier.
Wells Fargo shares fell 0.5% and JP Morgan shares rose 1.3%. It reported a 6.7% drop in first quarter profits on Wednesday.
Petroleum firm Exxon Mobil shares rose 0.7%.
Delta Airlines rose 1% after the company reported its earnings. The airline's revenue was boosted by falling oil prices.
Tom Rogic and teenage debutant Michael Johnston forced Saints keeper Zander Clark into several first-half saves.
Roberts put the champions ahead but Steven MacLean lashed in an equaliser.
Dedryck Boyata headed home a corner and Roberts scored his second before substitute Callum McGregor added the fourth with a sublime individual goal.
Victory moved the champions, who have now gone a year unbeaten domestically, 30 points clear of Aberdeen, who play Hearts on Sunday.
St Johnstone, who suffered a first defeat in 12 'post-split' fixtures going back two years, remain in fourth, six points ahead of Hearts.
Clark, making his first appearance in the Saints goal since the middle of March after replacing Alan Mannus, did not have to wait long to be tested.
Within 40 seconds he was diving low to turn a powerful left-foot strike from Rogic from 25 yards round the post.
Next he denied 18-year-old Michael Johnston, making his first-team debut, as he parried clear the youngster's right-foot 20-yarder.
Rogic, in the advanced central midfield role, was creative and dangerous and another well-struck effort forced Clark to show his quality again with another top-class save.
At the other end, Celtic keeper Craig Gordon, trying to play out from the back, passed the ball straight to Brian Easton but the Saints defender failed to take advantage.
Danny Swanson fired an early 25-yard free-kick over the top of Gordon's bar, but the visitors wasted the best chance of the first half just before the interval when MacLean headed Easton's cross into the path of Blair Alston 12 yards out, but the Saints midfielder sent his shot over the bar.
With Johnston producing flair on the left flank, fellow 18-year-old Anthony Ralston was enjoying his first start for the hosts at right-back, overlapping regularly to add another option to Celtic's attack.
Johnston was at the heart of the move that led to Celtic's opener on the resumption, his pass releasing Roberts, who from just outside the 18-yard box, sent a low left-foot strike into the bottom right-hand corner.
Saints responded within 90 seconds. MacLean's header from Paul Paton's cross was blocked on the line by Gordon, but as the ball broke free MacLean followed up to level the score.
Three minutes later Celtic regained the lead as Boyata rose unchallenged to head home a Roberts corner.
The champions increased their advantage just after the hour after slick build-up play.
Griffiths fired in a shot which Clark parried, but substitute Scott Sinclair reacted swiftly to cut the ball back for Roberts to claim his second of the afternoon from close range.
Celtic were flying now and Sinclair, who had replaced the impressive Johnston, almost produced a magnificent solo goal, eluding numerous challenges before being denied by Clark.
Instead it was McGregor, only on the pitch for a minute after replacing Rogic, who claimed the game's classiest goal with a mazy run that left several Saints defenders in his wake before sweeping a low shot into the net for his third goal in three games.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers: "It was a really exciting performance for the supporters and a joy to watch the team play to that level.
"We were very good for the first 35 minutes without getting the goal, but we started the second half really well, and just switched off for some reason to concede the goal.
"But our response was spectacular. We scored four goals, and maybe could have finished with six or seven if we had been more clinical.
"I've been encouraging Patrick [Roberts] to get into the box because with his quality, he has the ability to score more goals, and it was a great bit of individual skill from Callum [McGregor] - he is performing at a really top level.
"I was delighted with the two young players who made their first starts. You can see the profile of Mikey Johnston, he is very similar to Scott Sinclair - slight, fast, dynamic. With more involvement he will become a bit more prolific and incisive but he was quick and direct and most importantly worked very hard to press the play.
"I thought Tony [Anthony Ralston] was exceptional. You can see the maturity now in his performance; you would think he'd played 50 games already. He's a very good defender, very hard to beat, very strong, but he can play football and has the agility to get forward. It was an outstanding first start from him."
St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright: "I thought Celtic were exceptional, they played particularly well, but I am disappointed that when we got back to 1-1, we gave away a poor goal to put them back in control of the game.
"If you keep it level for 10-15 minutes, then you might get something out of the game. But it was just wave after wave of attack.
"It was a tough day for us, but at 4-1 with 20 minutes to go, it could have been a lot worse. We defended and made sure we came away with a 4-1 defeat and not a heavier one.
"But the second and third goals were poor goals from our point of view."

Fire crews were called out to the four-storey property on the High Street of the Scottish Borders town just before 22:00 on Thursday.
Firefighters from Hawick, Selkirk, Jedburgh and Edinburgh were at the scene of the fire for several hours.
One man was rescued from an adjacent property and treated by medics at the scene for smoke inhalation.
During the fire the roof collapsed on to a neighbouring building - which had been evacuated.
The fire was put out by about 04:30 but there was considerable damage to the two buildings.

The growing band of potential "mortgage prisoners" is thought to number as many as four million, BBC News has learned.
Stricter checks on mortgage applicants were brought in a year ago.
Many lenders are strictly applying checks despite "transitional provisions" allowing banks to show flexibility if existing customers want to move or remortgage.
As a result, some people are trapped in a mortgage deal or have to pay much more.
"They've pulled the rug from under me and I'm stuck," said Siobhan Moloughney, from Bath, who had a home and a steady job but has ended up back with her parents along with all her belongings.
Her recent move fell through after her lender refused to transfer her mortgage, even though it was supposed to be portable.
Her sale went through so she has been knocked off the property ladder, watching house prices rise in Bath.
"It's really unfair," she said. "I'd already proved that I could afford the mortgage and made sure the mortgage was portable.
"I trusted the mortgage company to look after me. It's just cut me loose."
She was refused the same level of mortgage after her lender ran affordability checks on her income and outgoings.
Yet she has a clean repayment record, her earnings have not changed and she does not need to borrow more.
"It is a crazy situation," said Ray Boulger, of mortgage brokers, John Charcol.
He has calculated that up to four million people, or 40% of those who have a residential mortgage, could be affected in one way or another.
"People who have a perfectly good track record on their current mortgage and don't want to borrow more money are finding they are being refused because of these new rules and the way they are being interpreted," he said.
Matthew Whittaker, from the Resolution Foundation, which has been monitoring the mortgage prisoner issue suggested that "between 35% and 40%" of mortgage holders could be hit.
The rules, imposed a year ago by the Financial Conduct Authority, require lenders to take a detailed look at bank statements.
Some have been scrutinising the cost of gym memberships, milk bills, childcare and pension contributions, creating a trap for home movers.
Also on the danger list are owners with interest-only mortgages, the self-employed and people who are deemed too old to borrow.
Chris Baytopp, 59, from Hertfordshire, lost out heavily over his move, because of his age.
"It doesn't make any sense," he said. "Affordability isn't an issue with me."
Many mortgage providers are questioning whether borrowers like him will be able to meet their payments once they start picking up their pensions.
His mortgage was another so-called portable one which his provider refused to transfer. It was a fixed rate, with a penalty fee for early redemption.
So, even though he was able to find a new lender when he and his wife moved to downsize, he had to pay fees of £4,000.
"I'm angry. We had plans for that money, now it's gone into the ether," he said.
The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said stricter treatment could be justified, even though transitional provisions drawn up by the regulator, the FCA, allow providers to make exceptions as long as applicants are not increasing their borrowing.
Paul Smee, the CML's director general, said that a review of affordability could be in the customer's best interest.
"The rules are tougher for a reason and the industry has to work within them," he said.
"If there are areas where there are glitches, then or course we must look at ways around the glitches."
But Pat Bunton, chairman of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries, said that captive customers were being treated unfairly and that "large swathes of prime customers are trapped".
He advised victims to consider taking their cases to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
The Ombudsman Service has already upheld some complaints over portable mortgages.
"We will need to see good reasons from the lender as to why they won't allow them to port their mortgage," a spokesman for the service said.
"We also have questions for lenders who decline to offer lending despite consumers financial circumstances not changing, or in many cases getting better or more consistent.
"If the risk hasn't changed - or has lessened - we may ask a lender to reconsider if they can't demonstrate good reasons for declining to port the mortgage." | Around 40% of homeowners with mortgages could struggle to move because they would not qualify for a new loan. | 32,452,598 | 1,001 | 23 | false |
Bilic, 48, was sent off by referee Michael Oliver after throwing a TV microphone to the ground in reaction to Gareth McAuley's injury-time equaliser for the visitors at London Stadium.
Hammers assistant boss Nikola Jurcevic has also been charged with misconduct.
Both have until 18:00 GMT on Thursday, 16 February to respond.
Jurcevic's charge relates to an incident in the 19th minute where he was sent to the stands after leaving the technical area to protest against Sofiane Feghouli's strike being disallowed for offside.
Both Bilic and Jurcevic could be handed touchline bans, as well as fines, if found guilty of the charges.
West Ham's next match is away to Watford in the Premier League on 25 February, before a London derby at home to Chelsea on 6 March.
Jamie Bonnor Thomson, 19, was charged with culpable and reckless conduct.
It came after 10 teenagers fell ill after consuming what police described as a pink-coloured tablet. They were all treated in hospital and discharged.
Mr Thomson made no plea or declaration at Jedburgh Sheriff Court and the case was continued for further examination.
He was remanded in custody by Sheriff Peter Paterson.
He is expected to appear in court again within eight days.
The Premier League side went ahead when summer signing Kenedy crossed for Ramires to nod home.
Remy doubled their lead with a powerful finish, but Walsall responded quickly when James O'Connor tapped in after Milan Lalkovic's free-kick was parried.
Kenedy's goal ended the League One side's hopes of an upset before Pedro added a fourth from distance.
The scoreline was perhaps harsh on the Saddlers, who competed strongly throughout, but Chelsea never looked in danger of a first League Cup defeat to lower-league opposition since 1989.
It was Brazilian Kenedy, signed from Fluminense, who particularly caught the eye on his first start for the Blues.
The 19-year-old reacted quickly when Walsall keeper Neil Etheridge lost possession to set up compatriot Ramires, and took his goal superbly with a firm strike through Etheridge's legs.
Walsall, who are currently second in the third tier, have now failed to reach the fourth round for the last 18 seasons.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "We were not here to throw away a competition. When you start the season with bad results like we did you cannot lose against a League One team.
"To lose a game against a League One team now would not be good for us. We don't need that bad feeling now. We need good feelings.
"The team was strong, played well and I'm happy with the result."
Walsall manager Dean Smith: "The team talk was: 'We're not here to try not to lose, we're here to try and win.'
"They make it very difficult for you and they protect their back four very well. We gave it a go and we're disappointed with the scoreline a little bit. Maybe 4-1 flattered them."

Scientists have found that the animals start to breed at a later age and with longer intervals between calves than other elephant species.
The researchers say it means it could take decades for this species to recover from recent dramatic declines.
The study is published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
Prof George Wittemyer, from Colorado State University, US, and the chair of the scientific board of Save the Elephants, said: "I don't think any of us realised how sensitive this species was.
"The basic biology of this species is designed for a system where they grow slowly, where they increase in number slowly, and the pressure we're putting on them to harvest ivory is simply too much for them to bear."
African forest elephants inhabit the dense tropical jungles of central Africa. They are smaller than savannah elephants and rarer, but they have faced intense poaching.
A recent study estimated that their population declined by 65% between 2002 and 2013.
However, until now, little has been known about their demographics.
This latest study looked at more than two decades' worth of data recorded in the Dzanga forest in the Central African Republic.
Andrea Turkalo, from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), monitored the comings and goings of more than 1,000 elephants who visited a clearing in the forest. These long-term observations enabled the team to assess the animal's reproduction rate for the first time.
"Female forest elephants in the Dzanga population typically breed for the first time after 23 years of age, a markedly late age of maturity relative to other mammals," she said.
"In contrast, savannah elephants typically begin breeding at the age of 12."
The scientists also found that forest elephants produced a calf every five or six years, whereas savannah elephants gave birth every three to four years.
The researchers say the findings suggest that forests elephants could take longer to recover from poaching than was previously thought.
"Even the Dzanga elephants, which have experienced less poaching than we have seen in other sites in the forest - if they were to recover to the population size they had in 2002, it would take 90 years," said Prof Wittemyer.
"If we can stop poaching, they can recover a bit faster, but we are still talking about decades to get populations back to what they were in 2002."
He added that forest elephants were facing a very real risk of extinction.
"We are talking about the loss of one of the planet's most unique, one of the largest, and probably most cognitively advanced animals on the planet. We are really facing the potential to lose this animal in the wild - and that's because we have not been able to stop poaching."

Friday's dream debut for the star comes on the back of an amazing first season in the Premier League.
He has scored 29 goals this season for Tottenham, becoming the joint top scorer in the league in the process.
But where did it all begin for the 21 year old footballer?
He Signed for Spurs at the early age of 11 years old and went through the various age groups of Tottenham's youth system.
In the 2009-2010 season he played 22 games for the under 16 team scoring an impressive 18 goals.
He appeared on the bench twice for the first team but then was sent out on loan.
Harry moved to Leyton Orient in 2011 on loan until the end of the 2011-2012 season and played 18 times scoring five goals.
After his loan spell at Orient he moved back to Tottenham, making his first appearance in the second leg of their Europa League match against Hearts.
He went on to play six times in the cup and scored his first Tottenham goal against Shamrock Rovers.
In late December Kane decided to go on loan to Millwall until the the end of 2012 season and scored nine goals in 27 appearances.
His efforts meant he was awarded Millwall's Young Player of the Season award.
Kane spent pre-season with Tottenham in the 2012-2013 season and made his Premier League debut, when he came off the bench, during a match against Newcastle United.
In the summer of 2012 he joined Norwich City on loan for the full season but got hit with an early injury and had to go back to Tottenham for treatment.
At the start of 2013 he moved to Leicester City on loan for the rest of the season, to help with their push for promotion from the Championship into the Premier League.
He scored on his debut but only made 13 appearances.
His good form started in last year's season when he scored his first goal at White Hart Lane in the League Cup.
Harry scored his first Premier League goal on his debut in a huge 5-1 win against Sunderland.
He made his first appearance of this season, when he came off the bench to provide the assist for the winning goal.
He then went from strength to strength and scored numerous goals in the Europa League and Capital One Cup before becoming a regular in Spurs' Premier League team.
As the goals started flying in picked up Premier League Player of the Month Award for February.
He netted his first Premier League hat-trick in a 4-3 home win over Leicester City and now has 19 for the season, making him joint top scorer, with Chelsea's Diego Costa, in the league.
After such an amazing season England boss Roy Hodgson couldn't resist calling him up to the international squad for the first time for the games against Lithuania and Italy.
But England captain Wayne Rooney has warned everyone to give Kane time to adjust and not expect him to score as many goals internationally as he has in the league this season.
Rooney said, "Although he has done really well, we have to give him room to breathe rather than smothering him and demanding a lot at an early age."
England Vs Lithuania kicks off at 7.45pm on Friday at Wembley Stadium.
The means-tested benefit had been frozen at £700 since 2003, but even "simple" funerals cost over £1,200, the Work and Pensions Committee said.
One mother had to freeze her son's body for months while she saved to pay for his funeral, the committee heard.
The government said it was modernising the bereavement benefit system.
The average funeral in the UK now costs about £3,700, with funeral directors' fees rising well above the rate of inflation in recent years, the committee's report said.
The rising cost of dying
The government provides uncapped help with "necessary costs" - such as burial plot or cremation costs - but the £700 social fund funeral payment (SFFP) for other funeral expenses has been "dramatically eroded", MPs heard.
For that price, some companies offered only "direct cremations or burials", without a service, celebrant, mourners, choice of coffin or flowers, the report said.
Furthermore, the system was "fundamentally flawed" and leading claimants into unforeseen debt, it said.
Applicants are required to provide a final bill from the funeral director, meaning the bereaved must commit to the expense before having any clear idea whether they are eligible for help, MPs found.
Charlene Green, 28, from Birmingham, lost her baby Mikael in the final stages of pregnancy in December. She told BBC News of her struggle to cover the costs of his burial.
"After doctors told me my baby had died, I still had to give birth. I had lost the most precious thing in the world to me, but I couldn't begin to grieve because of the stress of thinking, 'I have to bury my child, and how am I going to financially do that?'
"It feels like, straight away, everybody is a vulture, wanting bills paid. Before I was even able to have my son's funeral, I had to pay a £1,000 deposit. I'm on income support, and there was no way I could get a loan. I had to go through so many people to get the information I needed about government help. You begin to feel like just a number.
"At one point I was told we weren't entitled to any help because my son was a baby, and he would have to go into a communal grave with 12 other babies. And I would have to wait until the grave was full. You don't want to leave your baby in a morgue, and you want to do right by your child - that's the last thing you can ever do for them.
"The total cost of the funeral was about £1,200. The government gave us the maximum help of £700, but we had to borrow money from my Nan, who's a pensioner, and the Child Funeral Charity helped us. The minister also waived his fee. My partner and I were lucky that we were able to bury our son the way we wanted in the end, but I feel so sorry for other people who don't manage to."
The cross-party committee heard of "distressing circumstances", including families who were denied their loved one's ashes because of a shortfall in the final payment.
Labour MP Frank Field, chair of the committee, said the "opaque and outdated" system was hitting vulnerable people on low incomes.
"Funeral payments for those who can prove they are entitled - and that is a very uncertain and onerous process - now fall far short of covering even a basic funeral," he said.
"We do not want a return to the spectre of miserable 'pauper's funerals'."
The National Association of Funeral Directors has been campaigning for a review of the SFFP and said the MPs' recommendations were long overdue.
However, it took issue with a suggestion in the report that firms were not acting in the interests of the bereaved, saying a stringent code of practice is in place to ensure relatives are well cared for.
"Local council burial and cremation charges are the single fastest rising cost of a funeral," it added. "These lie outside of funeral directors' control and have not been addressed in this report."
Most expensive
Beckenham £5,372
Southgate £5,161
Wandsworth £5,076
Cheapest
Belfast £3,008
Amersham £3,102
Yeovil £3,152
Cost of a funeral soars to £3,700 - but what do you get?
The committee urged the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to negotiate with the representatives of funeral directors to agree a reasonable cost for a simple "fair funeral" and then set the maximum SFFP accordingly.
Moreover, the bereavement benefit system was "particularly outdated" and should be extended to cover co-habiting couples who were not married or in a civil partnership, the committee said.
About 21% of couples with dependent children in the UK were co-habiting in 2015, the Office for National Statistics estimated.
The DWP said it was "modernising bereavement benefits, introducing a simpler and fairer scheme that will better assist people in what can be an extremely difficult time".
"The planned new bereavement support payment will provide a higher lump sum payment than currently is offered and more people will be able to claim this full support now we have removed the lower age limit," a spokesman said.
The DWP estimates it pays SFFP "in around 7% of deaths in Great Britain".
The capital side have left Murrayfield to play their home games for the second half of the season in the more intimate surroundings of Watsonians' ground.
The new venture begins on Friday against Romanian side Timisoara Saracens in the European Challenge Cup.
"This will be even better than Scotstoun," Irvine told BBC Scotland.
"Glasgow have created a great atmosphere and a great support, and benefited hugely from that.
"This potentially could be even better because the players will be even closer to the spectators. There's no running track in between them and that makes a massive difference."
Temporary stands will initially give Myreside a capacity of just over 5,500 for Edinburgh's matches, though they may opt to move a European quarter-final back to Murrayfield if victory on Friday secures a home draw in the last eight.
A decision will then be taken on whether to continue at the ground next season, while Murrayfield, which holds 67,144, can still be used for the annual derby with Glasgow and bigger European ties.
Former Scotland and British & Irish Lions full-back Irvine, Edinburgh's chairman, believes Myreside "definitely has the potential to be a long-term solution" and can improve the side's on-field fortunes.
"Potentially the capacity might get to 7,000 or 8,000," he said. "I genuinely think we have a better chance of success here because of the atmosphere.
"If we start to win more games, you will get more people along and I would like to think within a few years we will play often to a packed house."
Glasgow, Pro12 champions in 2015, attracted 7,351 fans to Scotstoun for Saturday's narrow Champions Cup defeat by Munster.
"I personally think Edinburgh can match and probably surpass Glasgow when it comes to the potential for rugby support," added Irvine, who played against the All Blacks, Australia, Fiji and Romania at Myreside during his own career.
"Historically, it is only over the last 10 years that Glasgow have really outstripped Edinburgh in support. They have managed to do that because they have a great facility at Scotstoun, and Firhill before that.
"Edinburgh have been crying out for a smaller stadium for years. It has taken 20 years to get to this stage but I am 100% behind the move. I genuinely think it will make a massive difference.
"It will be a much better product to watch, a much better atmosphere, and I think the players will benefit as well. It is a tight pitch, they will be very close to the crowd and you do get inspired when the crowd gets behind you."
Managing director Jonny Petrie also believes Edinburgh "can and should be" emulating the regular capacity crowds the Warriors attract to Scotstoun.
"They've done enormously well. It's a fantastic atmosphere at Scotstoun and they get great crowds there," said the former Glasgow and Scotland back-rower.
"I think what they've worked hard to do is to attract a new audience to watch rugby and we'll be doing that here as well. But equally there is a huge latent rugby audience in Edinburgh. It is a rugby city."
Petrie hopes their next two Pro12 games in particular - against Munster on 3 February, the evening before Scotland play Ireland in the Six Nations, and Cardiff Blues on 24 February, the day before Scotland host Wales, will bring bumper crowds to Myreside.
"There are always opportunities to take the big matches back to Murrayfield, but as much as possible we want to create a home for ourselves here," he told BBC Scotland.
"It's important that we play somewhere that we can sell out and also helps us create a bit of an identity as a club.
"We want to create somewhere that's a lot more intimidating for opposition teams, with a bit of a raw atmosphere."
Police were called to the western Sydney suburb of Riverstone on Tuesday morning after receiving reports of a man trying to cut down a power pole.
The 51-year-old man allegedly threw petrol at the officers as they approached him.
His clothes caught fire when the officers attempted to subdue him using a Taser and pepper spray.
After police extinguished the fire, the man ran to his house and barricaded himself inside.
About one hour later he came out of the house and surrendered to police.
He was treated for minor burns and a police officer whose eyes were splashed with petrol was also taken to hospital.
Police expect to lay charges against the man.
The crash happened in the early hours on New Dover Road, Capel-le-Ferne.
Firefighters used cutting gear to release the injured people trapped in the minibus. A number of people were treated by the ambulance service and taken to hospital.
Highways authorities attended to clear a spillage from the road.
Memphis Depay scored his fourth goal of the season by tucking in from Juan Mata's cut-back just before half time.
United doubled their lead 40 seconds after the break as Wayne Rooney bundled home from close range to end an 11-game scoring drought in the Premier League.
Mata then converted Ashley Young's cross as Sunderland remained bottom.
Until Depay slid in the opener in first-half stoppage time, the hosts looked ponderous in attack but once they went 2-0 up after good work from Anthony Martial, Sunderland had little to offer in response.

Rooney's fifth goal of the season took him level with Denis Law as United's joint-third leading league scorer with 171, and ended his longest barren spell in the Premier League which stretched to 1,000 minutes.
David De Gea was rarely troubled but made good saves from Jeremain Lens and Patrick van Aanholt, with United having conceded just once in the league at home this season.

Relive Manchester United's win over Sunderland

This victory was another fillip for United boss Louis van Gaal, who has been questioned about a lack of incisiveness in United's play this season. His side now top the Premier League after Manchester City's defeat by Tottenham earlier on Saturday.
Despite rarely being tested by Sunderland, the hosts struggled to open up Dick Advocaat's side in a lacklustre first period, with the game turning in the two minutes either side of the break.
That allowed the likes of Rooney and Mata more space to influence the game, but much of United's endeavour relied on the pace and trickery of Martial and Depay, who, at times, bullied the Sunderland backline.
There is a growing theme to United's performances; they may not be thrilling but they are proving hard to beat. The Red Devils lead Manchester City by a point as they target their first Premier League title since 2013.
Rooney does not look back to his best, but after scoring in the League Cup win over Ipswich in midweek, he showed his goalscoring prowess remains a vital weapon for United. There were signs he is forming a good partnership with Martial.
Although his Premier League drought stretched back to April last season, he was quick to gamble at the near post when Martial caused havoc in the Sunderland defence, scoring his seventh goal of the season for club and country.
Rooney looks more suited to the number 10 role behind lone striker Martial, who has scored four goals in his opening four games for the club.
And with the teenager's pace and strength creating space ahead of him, Rooney could yet find the sort of form he did playing behind Robin van Persie in the 2012-2013 title-winning season.
Advocaat, who played alongside Van Gaal for Sparta Rotterdam in the 1980s, had lost only once to his friend in their 10 previous meetings, and for much of the first half it looked as though he might extend that record.
Having seen his team concede 10 of their 13 league goals in the first half of matches, Advocaat set up the Black Cats to defend, and they were agonisingly close to going into the break at 0-0.
But Depay's strike broke their resolve and Rooney's goal seemed to destroy any confidence that may have remained.
Although De Gea was called into action on a few occasions, Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole lacked any meaningful support as he made an aggressive return to the side.
Defeat leaves Sunderland still searching for their first league win of the season, with games against West Ham and West Brom next before they face arch-rivals and fellow strugglers Newcastle on 25 October.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "It's a nice feeling to be top of the table. It's the first time in my period so I'm happy. It's always difficult when you play against a team who is only defending and counting on the counter attack. You have to be aware and my defence was very good.
"I was very happy with the goal in extra time because they punished themselves. They were always wasting time and the referee was not reacting to that. A goal is the biggest influence in a game and I changed my approach at half-time because of that."
Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat: "The first half we did well, organisation wise, but the problem was they scored one minute before half-time and one minute after half-time. United were the better side but they didn't create a lot of chances. It's a shame we gave that goal away in the first half because it made things different in the second half."
Van Gaal will hope a third consecutive victory can boost their Champions League hopes when they host Wolfsburg on Wednesday, having lost their opener against PSV Eindhoven. United then travel to Arsenal and Everton in the Premier League, either side of the international break.

The 18-year-old left-back, who joined Kilmarnock after leaving Rangers two years ago, made his first three appearances at the end of the season.
It is understood deals have been agreed with around five players from England.
Kilmarnock, who avoided relegation via the play-offs, are also hoping to secure a number of players on loan.
The Scottish Premiership club released eight players and placed seven others on the transfer list at the end of the season.
But they are keen to extend the contracts of defender Miles Addison and forward Rory McKenzie and remain confident that they are near agreements with both.
Taylor, who can play left-back or in midfield, was delighted with his new deal and told Kilmarnock's website: "This is a great opportunity for me.
"I have been at Kilmarnock for almost two years now and feel my game is constantly improving.
"There is a great atmosphere at the club and I can't wait to get back in training with the boys under the management of Lee Clark."
Clark, who took charge in February after the departure of Gary Locke, is looking to rebuild his squad after his side finished second bottom in the top flight.
They retained their place in the top flight by defeating Championship runners-up Falkirk 4-1 on aggregate in the play-off final.
Clark hopes to add the 11 players before the start of pre-season training at the end of June.
Justice for Megrahi questioned the "objectivity and independence" of Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill and Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland.
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of killing 270 people when Pan Am flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie.
The Scottish government has rejected the claims by the group.
Justice for Megrahi wants the International Association of Prosecutors (IAP) to look at how Mr MacAskill and Mr Mulholland dealt with allegations against the Crown Office and police which handled the Lockerbie case.
The IAP, which was formed as a non-political organisation in 1995, aims to raise standards of professional conduct and ethics for prosecutors across the world, while promoting the rule of law, fairness, impartiality and respect for human rights.
The association can consider whether the complaint amounts to a breach of its standards.
The move by Justice for Megrahi is part of a wider campaign for an independent inquiry into the 1988 conviction of Megrahi, who died last year having been released from a Scottish jail in 2009.
MSPs on Holyrood's justice committee are continuing to consider the group's ongoing petition.
It alleges four breaches, covering independence, impartiality, professional conduct and role in criminal proceeding.
A Scottish government spokeswoman pointed out that Megrahi was convicted in a court of law and a court was the only appropriate forum for considering all the evidence in the case and "determining his guilt or innocence".
She added: "In relation to the reporting of Mr MacAskill to the IAP, the cabinet secretary [Mr MacAskill] has not had any involvement in decisions made by the Crown Office and the police in relation to their consideration of the al-Megrahi case nor their on-going investigation into the Lockerbie bombing. Indeed, the cabinet secretary for justice is not a prosecutor."
A Crown Office spokesman said allegations made by Justice for Megrahi were being considered by Chief Constable Patrick Shearer, the former top police officer in the old Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary.
He added that it was "absolutely false" that the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service had instructed him not to investigate any of their allegations.
But in its submission to Holyrood's justice committee, group secretary of Justice for Megrahi, Robert Forrester, stated: "At a time when there is growing concern about the Crown Office and police handling of the whole Lockerbie inquiry, this latest international complaint makes it even more important that our petition remains a live issue within the Scottish Parliament."

Massaro, 32, is into her fifth straight World Championship quarter-final.
Second seed and eight-time champion Nicol David of Malaysia beat England's Alison Waters 11-9 11-3 11-5.
"It was just about trying to get out and start strong, keep my intensity quite high," Massaro told the PSA World Tour.
"I think I probably set a record for the amount of fist pumps considering the length of time that I was on court for.
"I was making sure that I was there for the entire match and that I didn't let her get up at any point."
Sarah-Jane Perry of England was beaten 11-5 11-7 11-6 by French fourth seed Camille Serme.
The Office for Budget Responsibility had forecast government borrowing of £72.2bn for the 2015-16 financial year.
However, there are likely to be revisions to the data that could alter the final borrowing figure.
Public borrowing in March fell by £2.6bn compared with the same month last year to £4.8bn.
Public sector net debt, excluding public sector banks, jumped £47.5bn to £1,594bn for the year to the end of March - the equivalent to 83.5% of gross domestic product.
The annual borrowing figure of £74bn was £17.7bn less than the previous year, the Office for National Statistics said.
The decrease was mainly due to a fall of £20.4bn in central government net borrowing, although that was offset by a rise in local government borrowing of £4bn.
Borrowing by councils hit £5.9bn - mainly due to a fall in grants from central government.
Mr Osborne has pledged to return the UK to a budget surplus by 2020, with the OBR forecast predicting that the UK will have a surplus of £10.4bn in 2019-20 and £11bn the year after.
In a hearing after last month's Budget, OBR chairman Robert Chote told MPs there was still a 55% chance that Mr Osborne would hit his surplus target despite reversing a decision on disability payment cuts.
In a note, analysts at Capital Economics said: "We still think that the OBR's prognosis for the next five years is in fact too gloomy, meaning that austerity might be scaled back further ahead."
Martin Beck, senior economic advisor to the EY ITEM Club, said: "While today's numbers are likely to cause the Chancellor some embarrassment - he also missed his objective to see the debt/GDP ratio drop in 2015-16 - the fairly modest overshoot means that the OBR's forecast may ultimately be vindicated."
What Eurosceptics call Project Fear just took a new turn.
Speaking to me in China, where he's attending a meeting of finance ministers from around the world, Chancellor George Osborne used dramatic language to describe the risk to the UK economy if we vote to leave the European Union.
He said that exit would be a "profound economic shock", in the words of one prominent Out campaigner, really "upping the ante".
Mr Osborne is adamant that a decision to leave would genuinely imperil our economy at a time when jitters around the world mean there are already many risks.
The chancellor said the economy faces more risks of uncertainty than at any point since the financial crisis in 2008 so, it would be the "very worst time" for Britain to take what he described as an "enormous economic gamble".
Of course, those campaigning to leave the EU believe the country could be just as, if not even more prosperous outside the union than in.
And until recently the chancellor and the prime minister both repeatedly said they would be ready to walk away from the EU if they refused to give the UK a new and improved deal.
If he really believes it would be a huge economic calamity if we left, I asked him, would he really have been ready to leave?
He says they really meant it and didn't rule it out.
Having listened to him talk about what he believes is at stake, I'm not quite so sure.
Manxman Kneen, 28, has been ruled out after breaking his arm in a mountain biking crash.
McWilliams, 51, will now have a busy week as he will also race a KMR Kawasaki in both supertwin races.
"It is nice to be able to step in for Dan and help the team out this week," said McWilliams.
"I'm keen to race the North West 200 with another professional outfit and my duties will be divided between SGS/KMR and Mar-Train during the week."
Mar-Train boss Tim Martin revealed that Kneen had undergone surgery but remains hopeful that the Manx rider will be fit for next month's Isle of Man TT.
"I am disappointed for Dan that this has happened, we have had a fantastic build-up to the event and I was confident he would have been very competitive," said Martin.
"At this late stage there were not many options available to us so we are very lucky that we have been able to bring in someone of Jeremy's pedigree.
"He was part of our test programme at the beginning of 2015 so has some knowledge of our bikes already."
Kneen said that he was "gutted" to miss out on the Northern Ireland meeting.
"I'm on my bike every day and wasn't doing anything different than usual, it was plain bad luck," Kneen added.
North West 200 practice begins on Tuesday with roads closing at 09:15 BST.
The line between Reading and London Paddington will be closed on 27 and 28 December for engineering works.

As usual, there will be no train services on Christmas and Boxing Days.
The union's general secretary Dave Ward said Mr Corbyn was the "antidote" to the "virus within the Labour Party".
It made Andy Burnham its second choice.
Another candidate, Liz Kendall, said Mr Ward's reference to a "virus" was offensive and that what was needed was "an antidote to the Tories".
The Transport Salaried Staffs Association also nominated Mr Corbyn, who is already backed by the UK's two largest unions, Unite and Unison.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said the latest union endorsements meant "the momentum is going further and further behind Jeremy Corbyn".
He said Mr Ward's language was perhaps even more significant, adding: "If that is what the future holds for Labour, you sense that it could be heading remorselessly towards another bout of civil war and blood-letting."
The CWU has just under 200,000 members.
Mr Ward said: "We reject the notion that Labour needs to move to the centre ground of British politics.
"The centre ground has moved significantly to the right in recent years."
The union is recommending Angela Eagle for deputy leader, with Caroline Flint as second preference.
Mr Corbyn has gone from being an outsider to a front runner in the contest to replace Ed Miliband, triggering warnings from senior party figures about a shift to the left.
He only made it onto the ballot paper at the last minute with the help of "borrowed" nominations from some MPs who did not plan to vote for him.
One of the favourites for the position of deputy Labour leader, Tom Watson, said Mr Corbyn would struggle to maintain party unity if he becomes leader, given his history of rebelling against the party line in Commons votes.
Mr Watson, a former deputy chairman of Labour, told the Huffington Post Labour members were "aware of this".
"It's their choice," he said.
"Whoever the members select, it's our duty to work with them."
Ex-MP George Galloway suggested he would rejoin the Labour Party "pretty damn quick", if Mr Corbyn wins.
Speaking on LBC, the former Respect MP - who was expelled from Labour in 2003 - said: "I think if Jeremy were to win, everyone on the left will rejoin the Labour Party."
But Ms Kendall, seen as the Blairite candidate in the contest, said Labour would be defeated if it went "back to the politics of the 1980s".
At-a-glance profiles of the four contenders
Speaking on the BBC's Newsnight, she said she had more to do to convince people to back her campaign but insisted there was a "long way to go yet".
Mr Corbyn said he was "honoured" to have the two unions' backing.
"Labour is reconnecting with those who believed that the selling off of Royal Mail and of the railways was a bad idea because it based on short-term profits, not long-term public good," he said.
TSSA general secretary Manuel Cortes said: "Jeremy is clearly articulating why we must end the austerity quagmire and that Labour's economic policies must move on from failed neoliberalism."
Meanwhile, Labour's acting leader Harriet Harman said the party was "very, very vigilant" about preventing non-Labour supporters from registering votes, after reports some were signing up for £3 in order to back Mr Corbyn.
She said: "We have been absolutely determined to ensure that that is not exploited by Tories who have tried to vote, Greens who have tried to vote, various socialist parties who stand against the Labour Party who have tried to vote in the leadership election."
This involved a "very, very detailed verification process of listening in to phone calls", she added.
Mr Burnham has won the backing of comedian David Walliams.
On Twitter, the Britain's Got Talent judge said he had been so impressed when he met the Leigh MP 10 years ago he told him he would one day lead Labour.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper completes the leadership lineup. The winner will be announced at a special conference on 12 September.
It means all pupils currently in P3 at Greenwood, Belmont and Dundela feeder schools will be guaranteed a place at Strandtown Primary.
A situation arose because the three feeder schools are consistently oversubscribed.
As a result more pupils expect to transfer to Strandtown than the approved P4 admissions number.
In a statement, the department said: "A temporary variation to the enrolment number for Strandtown PS has been granted for the 2015/16 academic year.
"This will ensure that every child who wishes to transfer to Strandtown PS from the local Infants schools will be able to do so.
"In approving the temporary variation, the education minister made clear that he expected the Belfast Education and Library Board, and subsequently the Education Authority, to ensure a long term solution to this problem is brought forward."
Welcoming the decision, East Belfast Alliance Party MLA Judith Cochrane said: "I would like to thank the education minister for approving this variation and hope that he will continue to take a keen interest in the school as we look to resolve this problem.
"The infant-junior model is unique in Northern Ireland and therefore needs an individual approach to ensure the continuation of this excellent educational provision in east Belfast.
"As a member of the board of governors at Strandtown, I know the hard work that has gone on behind the scenes to secure this solution and to reassure parents."

They received misconduct notices during an IPCC probe after John Lowe killed Christine Lee and her daughter Lucy.
The three were criticised over the arrest of Ms Lee's other daughter Stacy Banner after the deaths in 2014.
Surrey Police said a hearing found the sergeant should be given management advice, but he could still appeal.
IPCC associate commissioner Tom Milsom said: "The allegations against Stacy came at an extremely difficult time in her life, following the tragic deaths of her mother and sister.
"A panel found a charge of misconduct proven against a detective sergeant who authorised her initial arrest without ensuring relevant lines of enquiry were not completed before doing so.
"The allegations regarding the other officers were not proven."
Ch Supt Helen Collins, from Surrey Police, said the complaints had been thoroughly investigated and the evidence carefully considered, but she added: "We are still in a period where the detective sergeant can choose whether or not to appeal [against] the findings and therefore will not be commenting further."
The IPCC said a constable had faced claims he did not take actions that could have prevented the need to arrest Mrs Banner, but was cleared.
In the sergeant's case, it was claimed the officer did not have sufficient evidence to suspect Mrs Banner of the offence, and failed to ensure relevant witness statements were taken - the watchdog said the first claim was not proven, but two claims relating to witness statements were.
A gross misconduct claim against Det Insp Paul Burrill heard his authorisation of Mrs Banner's continued detention and a further arrest were not necessary - but those claims were not proven.
In a separate development, the IPCC said Mrs Banner also complained about a delay in informing her that her loved ones had been formally identified, and she also said her visit to see their bodies had been "inadequate and unprofessional".
The IPCC said its investigator had interviewed the senior officer and specialists and examined log books, but no-one was given misconduct notices.
Mr Milsom said: "Communications between Stacy and the family liaison specialists indicate that their relationship functioned relatively smoothly and that Stacy's concerns were not raised at the time and nor had Surrey Police picked up any intimations she was unhappy."
Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) is causing increasing concern and a rising number of cases.
Some 1,241 patients were affected within the Central Manchester University Hospitals trust area from 2009 to 2013, the figures show.
Despite infection control, the numbers have increased year on year.
The figures, revealed in a Freedom of Information request by the BBC, found 62 patients so far have suffered blood poisoning - with 14 confirmed deaths within 30 days of infection - at Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Two further deaths have occurred in the current year, the hospital trust confirmed.
KPC, which causes urinary tract infections and pneumonia in sick patients, is resistant to carbapenems, the last major group of antibiotics to work against multidrug-resistant bacteria.
The trust said the chemical, an enzyme, that KPC uses to render antibiotics ineffective had now entered other bacteria, including E. coli and Enterobacter.
"This trust has and continues to make strenuous efforts to control and reduce this infection. We continue to work very closely with Public Health England at both a local and national level to develop solutions for the long-term management of patients," it said.
The trust stated that all the patients who had died were seriously ill. Some had diabetes, kidney problems or transplant rejection; some were suffering from leukaemia or other forms of cancer.
Central Manchester Hospitals has already had to review guidelines on antibiotics and the treatment of patients who require bowel surgery or cancer treatment that may leave their immunity compromised.
Another Manchester hospital, the Christie, a specialist in cancer care, said nine patients had been colonised by KPC last year. but they had all been transferred to the cancer unit and there had been no cross-infection in the hospital.
A Freedom of Information request has also revealed two cases of KPC at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton, with one patient dying in the past two years.
Microbiologist Dr Mike Cooper said that the patient who died was 96 and the form of KPC that had infected her was still susceptible to some drugs.
"There's a huge element of luck in this. Either Manchester has been extremely unlucky or we have been extremely lucky not to have more cases," he said.
Ten patients have also been infected at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire. Two had urinary tract infections, but neither patient died of blood poisoning.
Stoke's microbiologist, Jeorge Orendi, said: "Unlike the situation in certain hospitals in Manchester and London, fortunately in our hospital and catchment area carbapenemase producers have remained rare to date."
The KPC resistance mechanism first emerged in the US and spread to Israel. In Europe, it has taken hold in Greece and has reached epidemic proportions in Italy.
Gian Maria Rossolini, of the University of Siena, said that the first case was identified in Italy in 2008, but now 4% of all infections in Italy are resistant to carbapenems.
Dr Rossolini said deaths from blood infections were running at more than 40%, but for immune-compromised patients they could be as high as 80%.
Although KPC is still susceptible to an old and quite toxic antibiotic, colistin, in Florence this year more than 50% of KPC cases proved resistant to it.
"Although present in the UK, the problem seems to be still much more limited as compared to Italy and Greece," he said.
Professor Laura Piddock, of Birmingham University, said: "It's clear that what has gone on in Italy is our tomorrow. We have got to start preserving what we have got and use it wisely.
"If we are really serious about tackling this problem, we have to start viewing this in the same way as high-income countries viewed the Aids epidemic in the 90s.
"It's going to take that sort of level of global policymaker decision-making to really tackle this issue properly."
Research published in the Journal of Antibiotics found that colonisation with KPC is long-lasting, with 39% of patients still carrying KPC in their gut a year after being released from hospital.
In Birmingham, Prof Peter Hawkey is conducting nationwide research to identify the extent of KPC resistance and that of a more widespread, but slightly less virulent superbug, ESBL.
Patients in London, Southampton, Birmingham and Shropshire are being asked to send in faeces samples so the spread of the disease can be mapped.
Prof Hawkey said: "It makes sense whilst we are looking for these ESBL that we are also able to detect how many of these KPC organisms are in the community.
"I can conceive of techniques which may be able to make bacteria to kill these multidrug-resistant bacteria. It's very much at an advanced research level at the moment, but in order to drive that, we need to know how big the problem is."
Dr Rossolini said that the use of carbapenem antibiotics to control high levels of ESBL in the Midlands could actually help KPC take hold in the region.

The four-time Ballon d'Or winner, whose current deal expires in the summer of 2018, is yet to agree new terms.
Bartomeu said: "All of Barca believe this is how it has to be, because he is the player that in the last few years has brought us sporting success."
He was speaking at the announcement of a new shirt deal with Japanese retailer Rakuten that could rise to over £200m.
With add-ons the deal could become the highest in football sponsorship history.
The 29-year-old Argentina forward has scored 433 times in 456 appearances during his time at the Nou Camp.
Reports in Spanish newspaper suggested the club legend had rejected an offer of a new contract.
But the Barcelona president added: "I believe we've got a team with incredible players, all of them.
"There is nonetheless a leader of course, Leo Messi, he is well known and popular all over the world.
"We're all convinced, we're all positive Leo Messi will end his sporting career in Barca."
Online retailer Rakuten revealed defender Gerard Pique and his popstar wife Shakira helped the Catalan club secure the new four-year £47m-a-year shirt sponsorship deal.
"Gerard Pique and his wife Shakira are very close friends with Mr Mikitani [Rakuten CEO]," Bartomeu said.
"It was in the summer of 2015, Gerard organised a dinner in San Francisco during our summer tour.
"At that dinner we met Mr Mikitani. We talked about the future, about his interest in FC Barcelona and we started at that moment conversations."
The deal eclipses their Qatar Airways deal by £17m each year.
Manchester United signed a record £47m-per-year deal with Chevrolet in 2014, while Chelsea's deal with Japanese company Yokohama Rubber is reported to be worth £40m a year.
That figure could rise to £53m - with £1.3m on offer if Luis Enrique's side are crowned La Liga champions, and a bonus of £4.3m if they win the Champions League.
The deal includes access to players for advertising purposes and an agreement to hold at least one match in Japan during each year of the deal.
But we also rely heavily on the rail network and, at the risk of stating the obvious, if there is a rail strike then it is London, the south east and many commuter towns that will bear the brunt.
According to the latest figures from the Department for Transport (DfT), there are more than 10 times the number of peak rail commuters coming into London than the next biggest city in the UK.
This is not to demean the impact on the line in the North, say between Leeds and Manchester, but more people will be impacted in the south east.
The report from the DfT says: "London had a much higher number of passengers travelling in and out of the city centre compared to any other city, with 545,000 arrivals in the morning peak on a typical weekday in 2013 compared to 39,000 in Birmingham, the second busiest city."
Over the course of the day 981,000 people arrived in London by rail, according to Dft figures from 2012.
In 2013 there were 1.6bn passenger journeys in the UK, of which 70% were on London & South East operators, 22% were on regional operators and 8% on long distance operators. the Office of Rail Regulation says.
There are also parts of south London where reliance on the network is further increased because there are very few public transport alternatives.
So just shy of one million people could be affected by the 24-hour strike that starts on bank holiday Monday on 25 May.
(In practice this figure may be lower because some parents may be off work for childcare reasons during half term.)
Pay talks have been going on for some time and the conciliation service ACAS is involved. There had been some positive signals but that initial optimism seems to have evaporated.
The unions are particularly aggrieved about a non-consolidated £500 payment for the 2015 part of the four-year pay deal.
They also have concerns about the 'no compulsory redundancy' part of the deal which they want extended beyond 2016.
Earlier Network Rail threatened legal proceedings against TSSA, one of the unions involved the "white collar" bank holiday strike, because of alleged strike ballot irregularities.
Sources at Network Rail say they have to try every avenue to keep the railways running, but the move will be seen as provocative by the unions.
In negotiations there is always an element of brinkmanship. The language hasn't shown much compromise so far.
Lots of people ask me if next week's rail strike will go ahead. The answer is a fudge: I'm afraid you have to assume it is on - until it is called off…

The collision happened on the Agivey Road in Kilrea at about 08:15 BST on Thursday.
A second person has been taken to hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening. The Agivey Road remains closed.
Three men detained in early morning raids on Friday are facing terror charges. Three other people were held but later released.
The plot involved the use of explosives and other weapons, police say.
The alleged targets included high-profile locations around Melbourne, such as St Paul's Cathedral, Federation Square and the main train station.
Six men and a woman were detained in Friday's raid on suspicion of "preparing or planning a terrorist attack", police say.
The woman and two men were later released.
Three other men, named as Hamza Abbas, 21, Ahmed Mohamed, 24, and Abdullah Chaarani, 26, did not enter pleas and are due to appear in court in April. Another man remains in custody.
Victoria State police chief Graham Ashton said that following Friday's arrests, there was no longer a threat to the public.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the plot was one of the most substantial that has been disrupted in recent years.
"They want to frighten Australians, they want to divide Australians, they want us to turn on each other, but we will not let them," he said.
Four of the initial suspects were Australian-born and of a Lebanese origin, while the fifth was an Australian of Egyptian origin, Mr Ashton told reporters.
Those being held had been "self-radicalised" but inspired by propaganda of the so-called Islamic State (IS), he said.
Mr Ashton said the raids on five locations in Melbourne's north and west came after weeks of police surveillance.
"We believe that there was an intention to conduct what we call a multi-mode attack, possibly on Christmas Day," he said.
Melbourne's Flinders St Station, Federation Square and St Paul's Cathedral occupy three corners of what is arguably the city's most iconic intersection.
The area is only a short distance from the Melbourne Cricket Ground where up to 100,000 people are expected to attend the Boxing Day Test between Australia and Pakistan.
The operation included 400 officers from Victoria Police and the Australian Federal Police. The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation was also involved.
Conservative Damien Moore won 18,541 votes, securing a majority of 2,914 - a swing of 7.6% from the Liberal Democrats who came third.
Liberal Democrat Sue McGuire, who was selected after former MP John Pugh retired, won 12,661 votes. Labour's Liz Savage was second with 15,627 votes.
Elsewhere in Merseyside, Labour retained all of its seats.
There was a turnout of 69.1% in Southport, where Liberal Democrat MP John Pugh had stepped down in May after 16 years representing the town.
He said in April he would retire as he he did not want to work through "the nightmare chaos of Brexit" in the next parliament.
Mr Moore said he will be "hard working" and that people in Southport had told him their priority was to get on with the business of leaving the European Union.
Labour's Liz Savage said coming second was an "historic occasion" for the party.
Labour's Margaret Greenwood retained Wirral West, a marginal seat that was targeted heavily by the Conservatives after they lost it in 2015 when Esther McVey was ousted after just one term.

Ms Greenwood got 54.3% of the vote and an increased majority of over 5,000 from 417, while Conservative Tony Caldeira came second on 42.1%.
She said she believes Labour have done better than expected because more young people voted.
"People really value public services... and realise that you need a Labour government to get them", she said.
There was a clean sweep for Labour in Wirral as Alison McGovern also held Wirral South, winning 25,871 votes.
Former Labour leadership candidate Angela Eagle retained her seat in Wallasey with 72% of the vote and an increased majority.
She said Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn "fought a great campaign" and praised his "authenticity and honesty".
Labour MP for Bootle Peter Dowd took a sideswipe at Theresa May in his victory speech after he was re-elected on 42,259 votes with a 36,200 majority.
"We've moved from strong and stable to definitely weak and wobbly," Mr Dowd, who was first elected to the seat in 2015, said.
"Theresa May was walking through wheat fields this week - it's not wheat fields she's walking through tonight, it is something much more smelly."
Labour's Dan Carden retained the party's stronghold in Liverpool Walton, winning 85.7% of the vote.
His 36,175 votes marked an increase of 4.4% on predecessor Steve Rotheram, who is now the party's mayor of the Liverpool City Region.
Laura Evans of the Conservatives came second with 3,624.
Labour's Luciana Berger remains Liverpool Wavertree MP with a sizeable 79.6% share of the vote.
"The result is a very strong indication of people's support for Labour values today... we saw an increase in turnout - it's very heartening - of young people", she said.
Meanwhile in Cheshire, Chris Matheson increased his majority in the marginal seat of Chester by more than 9,000, gaining 32,023 votes. He was defending a majority of 93.
The British duo, who have both secured places at the Rio Olympics this summer, finished with a score of 444.48.

Meanwhile, compatriots Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson took gold in the women's 10m synchro in Sheffield.
European silver medallists Alicia Blagg and Becky Gallantree won the title in the women's 3m synchro, while Ross Haslam and James Heatly also claimed gold in the men's event.
The GB athletes will miss the rest of 2017 and Ellington posted a picture to his Instagram account saying he is "truly blessed" to be alive.
The 31-year-old has a suspected broken leg in two places and both men have a suspected broken pelvis.
Ellington said he is "overwhelmed" by the public's support.
He added: "I truly am blessed as I do not know how me or my training partner Nigel are still alive.
"Me and him are both strong characters and will be looking to bounce back from this horrific accident."
British Athletics says its staff are with the athletes and are liaising with doctors over treatment.
However, they are still waiting to find out the severity of their injuries from specialists. There will be no definitive update from doctors until the weekend or next week.
Ellington and Levine say they were riding a motorbike when they were struck head on by a car travelling on the wrong side of the road.
The incident happened on Tuesday evening, with Ellington and Levene part of a British Athletics group taking part in a warm-weather training camp.
Any pelvic injuries to sprinters are potentially career-threatening and both athletes will need significant rehabilitation.
"We will not be releasing further information on the severity of their injuries at the present time," a British Athletes statement read.
"Both athletes are receiving medical treatment and are conscious and stable."

Serbia's anger at Croatia - which joined the EU in 2013 - contrasted with the warmth Serbia afforded Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on his visit to Belgrade on Monday.
Mr Lavrov was told that Serbia would not seek to join Nato, nor would it join EU sanctions against Russia.
Russia is re-equipping Serbian forces.
The details of new deliveries of Russian military hardware will be discussed in Moscow with Mr Vucic on 21 December. Four MiG-29 jets are expected to be in the package for Serbia.
"If Croatia is the one to decide if Serbia becomes an EU member, then I have suddenly lost interest," Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said at a joint news conference with Mr Lavrov.
Serbia gave Mr Lavrov a sabre as a gift for the family of a Russian pilot killed in the Syria conflict.
Deep scars remain from the fighting between Croatia and Serbia in the 1990s, during the break-up of Yugoslavia.
Many Serbs also remain hostile to Nato because of the alliance's bombing of their country in 1999. That bombing was aimed at halting a brutal Serb crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, where guerrillas were fighting for independence.
Serbia and Russia are centuries-old allies, sharing an Orthodox Christian bond.

Serbia country profile
So far Serbia has opened four chapters in its EU accession negotiations, out of 35 chapters in the EU acquis, the body of law applied throughout the bloc.
There will be an accession conference in Brussels on Tuesday and Serbia is due to open two more chapters, a source close to the talks told the BBC.
"They were hoping for a third, but there was no unanimity for that," the source said. Croatia blocked Chapter 26, covering education and culture, because of concerns about Serb treatment of its Croat minority.
Mr Dacic also criticised Bulgaria, suggesting that it had backed Croatia's objection.
Croatian Foreign Minister Davor Ivo Stier reportedly raised concerns about translations of Serb textbooks into Croatian. The two languages are very close - in former Yugoslavia people spoke Serbo-Croat.
"Serbia was patient so far, but now it will talk differently," Mr Vucic said.
In Brussels, Serbian media reported, Mr Vucic "stated his opinion about the behaviour of the countries in the region". He reportedly said he had "had enough" of Croatia's behaviour.
Last week Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic apologised for handing out Serbian-made chocolates to children in Dubrovnik.
Mr Dacic said Croatia's leaders had "a problem with chocolates from Serbia" and that the pro-Nazi Ustasha movement was being revived by Croat nationalists.
Neighbouring Montenegro has progressed further than Serbia towards EU accession. It broke away from Serbia in 2006.
Montenegro - also a candidate for Nato membership - suspects Russian agents of plotting to assassinate pro-Western Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic.
The Independent Financial Review Panel (IFRP) left their post last June when their appointments expired.
In law it still exists, though the posts are vacant.
Members of the independent body have now written to Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire about MLAs' pay.
Pat McCartan, Alan McQuillan, and Etta Campbell said they understand the reason they have not been replaced is because Sinn Féin and the DUP are unable to agree a new system for overseeing expenses and pay.
In their letter, they told Mr Brokenshire: "Given our work and the general public disquiet expressed to the IFRP in every public consultation the panel undertook, we must strongly suggest that payments to MLAs in the absence of a functioning assembly and executive would be publicly regarded as unjustifiable.
"Also, that any future system for payments to MLAs needs strong and independent administration, supervision, and audit.
"If the government is therefore forced to suspend the assembly by Order in Council we strongly recommend that you consider strictly limiting the period for which members may draw salaries and expenses - perhaps to a period of three months to allow completion of any negotiations.
"We do not even see why expenses should be paid for this period as these are supposed to relate to the management of MLAs' constituency offices and without a functioning assembly the work that can be done in these is very limited."
Mr Brokenshire has said the primary responsibility lies with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin to use the "limited window" now open to form a new power-sharing executive.
It follows Thursday's election which ended a unionist majority at Stormont.
The parties have just three weeks to overcome their differences and form an executive.
If a government cannot be formed within that time then, under law, another election could be called.
Ultimately, if no power-sharing government is formed, power could return to the UK Parliament at Westminster for the first time in a decade.
They did not last as long as the Arab Spring - but Africa's most populous country and biggest oil producer will never be the same again.
Nigerians have long decried their leadership but now young, well-educated groups have organised themselves on social networking sites such as Twitter - using #OccupyNigeria - to force President Goodluck Jonathan to back down.
The seasons might have shifted, but it will take at least a generation for the dust to settle.
For the first time, Nigerian leaders are being held to account, and many seasoned Nigeria-watchers would never have expected it in this way.
They would have put money on a Swiss banker suffering an attack of conscience and returning some stolen loot before predicting people power in Nigeria.
After all, Nigerians are not supposed to do sustained civil disobedience. These preconceived notions no longer hold true.
While battle-hardened union comrades have settled with the government, there are still many dissatisfied young people.
This was their movement.
While the unions were prepared to accept a compromise of 97 naira (about $0.60; £0.40) per litre, young people wanted much more.
A rallying cry around the removal of the fuel subsidy suddenly became a demand for accountability from government and for lawmakers to curb their excesses.
And as Nigerians return to work, it won't be business as usual.
The key point of any "revolution" isn't how long it lasts, or how many people take part, but what the results are.
When you have a former top World Bank official and minister of finance begging the Nigerian people for their trust, you know times have changed. And when the man voted Central Bank Governor of 2010 appears humbled and contrite, it is time to sit up and take notice.
So what have the protests achieved?
Fear is dead. Unity is possible. Engagement is inevitable.
Protesters gathering in such numbers is unheard of Nigeria. Rarely has there been anything as unifying as the fuel subsidy protests. From Kano in the north to Lagos in the south, Nigerians had one cause.
Sure, the presence of soldiers on the streets intimidated people, and cut short the protest on Monday. However, the reaction was more one of anger than of cowardice.
The people had their victory last week when thousands of people demonstrated every day. Anything after that was always going to be a bonus.
Against the backdrop of attacks by the Islamist group Boko Haram in the north and pockets of reprisal attacks in the south, this was a precarious time for Nigerians to take to the streets.
But during protests, Christians formed symbolic shields around Muslims as they prayed. In Kano, Muslims visited churches on Sunday as a sign of solidarity.
These were not the actions of a nation at peril, but of a disparate people clinging together, refusing to be divided.
The head of the central bank, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, and Finance Minister Ngozi Okonji-Iweala have been forced to explain their actions like none of their predecessors. They have been present on television, on radio, on Twitter - telling Nigerians why they believed the removal of the subsidy was in the best interests of Nigeria.
This prompted a mushrooming of armchair economists. Of course, we're not all economists, but questioning one's leaders is the sign of a healthy democracy.
The author and economist Jeffrey Sachs got a drubbing on Twitter for supporting the subsidy removal. Global thinkers don't always get short shrift from a now enlightened dark continent.
Youth group Enough is Enough's ReVoDa mobile phone app for monitoring last year's general election was just the start of it.
Websites such as Yourbudgit.com have been created so that anybody can carve up the Nigerian budget to their liking. And youth groups such as Enough is Enough Nigeria Coalition are giving a voice to millions of young Nigerians and helping them to channel their anger.
If the government refuses to do right by the people, the people will do right by themselves.
The young people who have created these tools will not forget these past two weeks, and they'll be watching the government's behaviour closely.
Satire is now part and parcel of the political discourse, alongside impromptu music videos from Nigeria's favourite artists crying the tears of a nation.
"I was there when we defied the government", is what this generation of young Nigerians will be able to tell their children and grandchildren.
And any government wishing to enact policies that cause difficulty for its citizens will have advisers whispering: Remember 1 January, 2012.
The FAs will let players wear black armbands with poppy emblems and are willing to accept any punishment.
Fifa general secretary Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura told BBC Sport "any kind of sanction" could follow.
World football's governing body prohibits political, religious or commercial messages on shirts.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has called the rule "outrageous".
Britain is not the only country that has been suffering from the result of war
English FA chief executive Martin Glenn told BBC Sport that players from both sides would wear black armbands carrying the poppy symbol - traditionally used to remember those who died during World War One - "as a point of principle".
The SFA also confirmed it "intends to pay appropriate tribute by having the Scotland national team wear black armbands bearing poppies".
England play Scotland at Wembley on 11 November in a World Cup 2018 qualifier.
The Football Association of Wales has also written to Fifa requesting permission to wear poppies on armbands during their game against Serbia in Cardiff on 12 November but has not yet committed to defying the ban.
However, Glenn said: "We are standing shoulder to shoulder with the other home nations on this, we all feel very strongly. It's not a political symbol and I think most people would agree with us."
A points deduction could be one option open to Fifa should it decide to punish the FAs for flouting its ban, but Glenn does not believe it will come to that.
He explained: "We don't think we are breaking their law - we think they are misinterpreting it. I'm confident it won't come to anything draconian."
When the issue arose in 2011, a compromise was reached in which players were allowed to wear armbands with the poppy symbol.
The FAs of England and Scotland had asked Fifa for permission to do the same next week, but have been told that would breach the laws of the game.
Both FAs say they are continuing to negotiate with Fifa and are hopeful of finding an amicable solution, but Samoura questioned why an exception should be made for England, Scotland and Wales.
"We have to apply uniformly and across the 211 member associations the laws of the game," she said.
"Britain is not the only country that has been suffering from the result of war. The only question is why are we doing exceptions for just one country and not the rest of the world?"
Asked if the teams could be punished for defying the ban, she said: "It is not really my ambition to punish anybody.
"They just have to recognise themselves that they are part of the rules of the game and they should be ready to face any kind of sanctions or measures."
She added any potential punishment could depend on whether a complaint is made.
A petition urging Fifa not to uphold the ban has attracted more than a quarter of a million signatories.
Earlier on Wednesday, the issue was raised in Parliament.
"Before they start telling us what to do, they jolly well ought to sort their own house out," said Mrs May, citing the recent Fifa corruption claims which have seen dozens of former officials prosecuted or banned from the sport.
"Our football players want to recognise and respect those who have given their lives for our safety and security. It is absolutely right they should be able to do so."
Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Mrs May said the wearing of poppies was a matter for the English and Scottish football associations to resolve, but there was a "clear message" from the House of Commons that "we want our players to be able to wear those poppies".

The International Football Association Board (Ifab) - made up of the four British FAs and Fifa - is responsible for formulating the laws of the game, which are then upheld by Fifa.
The laws cover everything from the field of play to the equipment used and how the result of a game is determined.
A section of law four, which deals specifically with players' equipment, reads: "Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images.
"Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer's logo.
"For any infringement the player and/or the team will be sanctioned by the competition organiser, national football association or to be justified by Fifa."
It does not specify what the sanctions are for breaching those rules.
Fifa has been accused of double standards after it emerged Republic of Ireland players wore a political symbol on their shirts in a friendly against Switzerland on 25 March to mark the centenary of the Easter Rising.
Damian Collins MP, chairman of the Commons' Culture, Media and Sport select committee, said he had called on Fifa to "clarify the issue".
The Easter Rising was an Irish rebellion against British rule, which lasted from 24 to 29 April 1916 and resulted in 485 deaths.
"That appears to be an absolutely classic example of leniency being shown to other countries," Collins said.
The Ifab meets on Thursday, where the Scottish and English FA chiefs Stewart Regan and Glenn have said they will be hoping to convince officials to allow players to wear poppies. FAW chief executive Jonathan Ford will also be at the meeting.
FA chairman Greg Clarke told ITV News that English football's governing body was "negotiating in good faith with Fifa to try and find a solution".
"My personal opinion, and that as chair of the FA, is that of course we should wear poppies," said Clarke.
"That is our plan. There will be poppies at Wembley."
Former Culture, Media and Sport Secretary John Whittingdale MP said the England team should wear poppies - even if a points deduction is possible.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Emma Barnett, he said: "For [Fifa] to try and brand the poppy as a political symbol shows a total misunderstanding.
"There are a number of reasons why we are already profoundly unhappy with Fifa's behaviour and conduct and this adds to that list."
A motion has been lodged at the Scottish Parliament calling for Fifa's poppy ban to be scrapped.
England are top of their 2018 World Cup qualifying group with seven points - two more than Lithuania and Slovenia - after three games, with Scotland fourth on four points.
Only the top team qualifies automatically for the World Cup in Russia, with the second-placed side possibly entering a play-off.
Wales are third in Group D with five points, two behind Serbia and the Republic of Ireland.
Rugby Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie has confirmed the England players will wear poppies on their shirts for the autumn Test against South Africa at Twickenham on 12 November.
World governing body World Rugby has been "very supportive", according to Ritchie.
"We are commemorating and remembering all people who have died in conflict. This is not a partisan thing or a political statement," Ritchie told BBC Radio 5 live.
"This is something that is just right as an act of remembrance, and it is right to do it on the weekend when we play South Africa."
Wales' rugby team will also wear a commemorative poppy on their shirt in their Test against Argentina on the same day.
The two spoke by telephone for the first time since the US launched air strikes against Syria nearly a month ago, straining relations.
White House and Kremlin statements suggested a productive conversation.
Other topics discussed included North Korea and the timing of a future face-to-face meeting.
Mr Trump ordered air strikes after a chemical weapons attack blamed on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Russia's ally. The Russians which blamed Syrian rebels for the use of illegal nerve gas.
A White House statement said "President Trump and President Putin agreed that the suffering in Syria has gone on for far too long and that all parties must do all they can to end the violence.
"The conversation was a very good one, and included the discussion of safe, or de-escalation, zones to achieve lasting peace for humanitarian and many other reasons".
The Kremlin statement said the two men had agreed to step up attempts to find ways to strengthen a ceasefire.
"The aim is to create the conditions for the launch for a real resolution process in Syria," it added.

The White House also said Mr Trump and Mr Putin had also spoken about "how best to resolve the very dangerous situation in North Korea".
The secretive communist state's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes have raised tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, with Mr Trump saying last week that a "major, major conflict" was possible.
The Kremlin said: "The dangerous situation on the Korean peninsula was discussed in detail. Vladimir Putin called for restraint and for the level of tension to be reduced."
The two had also discussed having their first face-to-face meeting since Mr Trump was elected on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hamburg in early July, the Kremlin said.
Swinton, which employs 3,000 people across the UK, said where possible, affected staff will be deployed into other parts of the business.
The insurance broker, which has more branches than any of its rivals, blamed business switching to the internet.
It said 90% of its customers now buy insurance over the phone or through digital channels.
The 900 roles will be cut by the end of the year.
Gilles Normand, chief executive of Swinton, said: "We are reshaping our distribution model to ensure that we continue to meet the changing needs of our customers in an effective and efficient way.
"This change is difficult for all colleagues, especially those who are directly impacted by the proposals, but is vital if we are to remain competitive in a challenging insurance market."
Piles of the flyers, which say Ahmadis should face death if they refuse to convert to mainstream Islam, were displayed in Stockwell Green mosque.
The leaflet was authored by an ex-head of Khatme Nabuwwat, a group which lists the mosque as its "overseas office".
A mosque trustee said he had never seen the leaflets before and suggested they were fakes or left there maliciously.
Minority communities in Pakistan have become targets of sectarian violence, and some fear that could spread to the UK, encouraged by organisations like the Islamic missionary group Khatme Nabuwwat, and others.
Khatme Nabuwwat believes Ahmadis are apostates, commonly defined as people who have abandoned their religion.
Those who refuse to convert to mainstream Islam within three days should face a "capital sentence" - or death penalty, according to the leaflets.
The constitution of Pakistan bans members of the sect from referring to themselves as Muslims.
The leaflets, authored by Yusuf Ludhianvi and written in English, were found arranged in piles on a desk next to a shoe-rack, the usual place to display literature in mosques.
Documents from the Charity Commission show Khatme Nabuwwat lists Stockwell mosque in south London as its office, the BBC has also learned.
Four trustees of the charity listed in the documents manage the mosque, while two of the current owners of the mosque run centres affiliated to that group elsewhere in the UK.
The mosque is also listed as an "overseas office" on the group's website for Khatme Nabuwwat.
Stockwell Green mosque was first accused of helping to promote acts of terror and hate in Pakistan in 2011.
At the time, mosque trustee Toaha Qureshi issued a vehement denial, saying the mosque's name had been "falsely used" on a website listed on hate literature advocating the murder of Ahmadis.
He said: "We are very angry and furious about that. We do not have any linkage with this organisation that is promoting hate."
Asked about this latest discovery of leaflets and alleged links between the mosque and Khatme Nabuwwat, Mr Qureshi said: "There is a link that we only need when we need some guidance or literature on that particular issue, then we seek advice from them.
"We have not published any pamphlet of that kind. This is nothing to do with our mosque. Someone might have put it there and taken from there with malicious intentions," he added.
Referring to sectarian attacks on Ahmadis in Pakistan, he added: "Whatever happened in Pakistan, that has got nothing to do with me or with the Stockwell mosque.
"What we are saying is Stockwell mosque is an independent organisation. It does not take a dictation by anybody else."
Khatme Nabuwwat has never been implicated in an attack but has been criticised for encouraging violence towards members of the sect.
"Khatme Nabuwwat do not inflict violence themselves, but they provide an enabling environment for a number of actors to do so," said Saroop Ijaz from Human Rights Watch.
"There are enough violent groups in Pakistan, enough radical population in Pakistan, that if accusation is made enough times and loudly enough - that is murder. Khatme Nabuwwat do this with the very clear desire of leading to that outcome."
Dr James Caron, from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, said: "Khatme Nabuwwat is a one-issue outfit and that one issue is anti-Ahmadi sentiment.
"However, anti-Ahmadi sentiment is much larger than the Khatme Nabuwwat movement."
Lutfur Rehman, an Ahmadi living in the UK, fears that the violence seen in Pakistan against minorities such as his could be spreading to the UK, encouraged by groups such as Khatme Nabuwwat.

"That hate is spreading in the UK. We have seen incidents here and in different areas.
"There have been leaflets distributed in shops, certain hotels have openly announced they will not serve Ahmadis, different clerics inciting in their Friday sermons against Ahmadis."
He was caught up in the 2010 attack on an Ahmadi mosque while on business in the Pakistani city of Lahore when gunmen fired and threw grenades indiscriminately, killing 93 people.
"The guy sitting next to me - I can never forget him", he said. "He was wearing all white dress and it went red. There was another guy sitting with his little daughter, and he was trying to cover his daughter to save her and he was shot."
He added: "It's lucky that that kind of incident that happened in Lahore hasn't happened here yet but if it carries on like this, it's not very far."
This all comes after the killing of Ahmadi shopkeeper Asad Shah, in Glasgow last month, which police claimed was "religiously prejudiced".
Tanveer Ahmed, 32, from Bradford, who is accused of his murder, said he killed Mr Shah because he disrespected Islam and falsely claimed to be a prophet.
While there is no suggestion Khatme Nabuwwat was involved in the killing, two videos on a video-hosting channel with the same name as the group described Mr Shah as a "false prophet" in 2014.
Mr Ahmed has made no plea, and is remanded in custody until his next court appearance.
The pioneering road racer was in collision with a car while riding with friends in Thornhill Lees on Wednesday.
He is being kept in hospital and is being treated for a broken collar bone, six broken ribs and a punctured lung.
In 1955 he became the first Briton to finish the Tour de France and in 1958 was the first to win a stage.
His son-in-law, Martyn Bolt, who visited him in Pinderfields Hospital, said Mr Robinson was feeling "chipper" despite his injuries.
"He is sitting up, he's talking and he's now wanting to get out and be a bit more active," said Mr Bolt.
The accident happened on one of Mr Robinson's twice-weekly rides.
"He is coming down within about three or four miles of home what he thought was a clear open road and all of a sudden there was a crash with a car that he hadn't seen in front of him," said Mr Bolt.
Mr Robinson, who lives in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, is regarded as a trailblazer for the sport in Britain and his successes inspired the talents of Tom Simpson and Barry Hoban who followed him.
He was also an ambassador for bringing this year's Tour de France to Yorkshire earlier this month.
Personalities from the cycling world have taken to Twitter to wish Mr Robinson well. Gary Verity, the man behind Yorkshire's Tour de France bid, said: "Thoughts & prayers tonight for Brian Robinson please."
Mr Bolt said the accident had not put his father-in-law off cycling.
"He will want him to be back out and riding his bike," he said.
"Brian is never content unless he is pushing himself."
Daniel Edwards, 22, stabbed Fiona Southwell to death at Grange Farm near Seaton in July.
The jury at Hull Crown Court heard Ms Southwell, 60, replaced him as a stable hand after he was sacked.
Edwards' resentment about losing his job "may have provided him with a motive", said prosecutor David Gordon.
Edwards was sentenced to life with a minimum of 24 years.
The judge said the term would have been longer but his learning difficulties had been taken into account.
More on this and other East Yorkshire stories
The trial heard how Edwards looked after horses at the farm in spring 2016, but was dismissed "in a gentle and understanding way" in May 2016 and replaced by Miss Southwell.
Sentencing him, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC said: "It is plain to me that you were so angry and resentful that you hatched a plan to kill Fiona Southwell.
"You planned to kill her by stabbing her to death - you executed that plan with ferocious determination and brutality."
"The use of some of the language of the Facebook posting you later shared - you let out the demons within you," he added.
The court heard Ms Southwell's body was found in a barn at Grange Farm by her brother.
Mr Gordon said she had died from multiple stab wounds in "a vicious, protracted attack".
Edwards was arrested at his home in King Street, Hornsea, East Yorkshire. Clothing stained with Ms Southwell's blood was recovered from his bedroom.
Her blood was also found on the defendant's ankle and on a kitchen knife found in a hedgerow near the farm, the jury was told.
The court was told Edwards sought to cover up what he had done, discarding the murder weapon and lying first in his police interviews and then during his trial.
Senior Investigating Officer Det Ch Insp Tony Cockerill described the attack as cowardly, adding Fiona Southwell "never stood a chance".
Ms Southwell's family described her as "kind, hard-working and totally honest".
Simon Ellis of Crowders in Lincolnshire said ash dieback was found in 15 trees in June but officials issued a notice preventing the firm from taking action.
Ministers said the import ban was brought in as soon as it was practical.
The environment secretary will chair a summit on ash dieback on Wednesday.
The disease has now been confirmed at 82 locations in England and Scotland.
On Monday, government officials confirmed that the disease was present in woodlands in Kent and Essex.
In the last six weeks, 100,000 ash trees have been destroyed and experts say it may be too late to stop the spread of the fungus.
Scientists say the infection in native trees has been caused by a fungus Chalara fraxinea, which is believed to have been carried on the wind from mainland Europe.
Unlike animals, trees cannot be vaccinated and once infected, a tree cannot be cured.
A plant health order banning imports and the movement of ash trees came into force on 29 October.
Mr Ellis, who is considering suing the government for £200,000, said by the time his firm was permitted to destroy its trees, many more had become infected.
He says the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) wrote to the government in 2009 warning of a new strain of ash dieback disease and urged it to close UK borders.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "They should have taken it seriously at the time. They chose not to and now we have this really dramatic situation.
"Effectively our income stream starts now, this is the season, this is our harvest time so to cut off our income stream - what other course of action can we take?"
Here to stay?
The HTA says the government misdiagnosed the disease when it first alerted officials - the fungus was thought to be the same as one already widespread in the UK.
The HTA's Tim Briercliffe said: "We saw the disease, we saw what it was doing in Denmark. It wasn't doing that in the UK. Whatever the details of the science were saying, that surely was going to speak far louder."

Known as the common or European ash, the tree - the UK's only native ash species - is scientifically known as Fraxinus excelsior.
It is the UK's third most abundant species of broadleaf tree (after oak and birch), covering 129,000 hectares of woodland.
Ash is deemed to be a very important species within the UK's hedgerows and accounts for about for about 10% of the nation's estimated 123 million "non-woodland" trees.
The common ash is a large deciduous tree that can reach heights in excess of 40 metres (130ft). It can live up to 400 years but coppiced trees can live for centuries longer. The species is wind pollinated, and the seeds (known as keys) are primarily dispersed by the wind.
As the species is long-lived, it is important for wildlife. It supports specialist deadwood species, such as the lesser stag beetle and hole nesting birds, including owls and woodpeckers.
Ash woodlands have light, open canopies, so are an important habitat for flora such as bluebells and ramsoms. Birds like bullfinches feed on the trees' seeds.
Also, ash provides an important habitat for more than a quarter of Britain's lichen, including nearly 14% of the nationally rare and nationally scarce species.
Upland mixed ash woodlands are listed as a priority habitat under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
Farming Today: Ash dieback
Martin Ward, the UK's chief plant health officer with the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), said ash dieback disease was not spreading but acknowledged that "we're probably not going eradicate it".
"We have stopped the movement of plants and the sporulation on the leaf litter, which can lead to aerial spread, doesn't happen until the summer," he said.
"The increasing number of cases we are recording at the moment is the result of greater information, more knowledge of the distribution of the disease."
He told Today when the disease was first identified in UK nursery stock in March this year the "important thing then was to track down that... stock, to destroy these isolated findings in recent plantings".
Defra then worked on identifying the "right measures" to be taken before the start of the planting season.
The government has ruled out paying compensation.
A spokesman for Defra said: "Hundreds of staff members from government agencies have been investigating sites across the UK.
"They have examined around 2,500 blocks of land, each 10 kilometres square, where mature ash trees are known to be present, in order to seek out traces of the disease in our established trees.
"At a time when our trees face increasing threat from a range of diseases, and in a tight financial climate, we believe that resources are best spent on surveillance and trying to tackle the disease."
The prime minister's official spokesman has confirmed that Environment Secretary Owen Paterson will host a summit on ash dieback on Wednesday.
How to spot the signs
He said the meeting, involving tree health experts and other "key stakeholders", would provide updates on the problem and what was being done to tackle it.
"We are taking this issue very seriously," he added.
"What is important is that we focus on the action we can take now to try and limit the effects of the disease."
He acknowledged that there were questions about how the government handles "different animal and plant diseases".
"That is why Owen Paterson set up this taskforce to look at how we handle plant diseases," he told journalists.
"One of its jobs is to ensure that we are as well prepared as we can be in the future to deal with this kind of problem."
On the issue of compensating affected horticultural businesses, he said that it would be "dealt with ultimately by the courts".

Second seed Federer was close to his imperious best, employing his full range of shots to dissect his flummoxed opponent as he won 6-2 6-2 6-3.
The Swiss will next face Gilles Simon for a place in the semi-finals.
He needs one more title to break the record he holds with Pete Sampras and Willie Renshaw.
"I don't think I made a statement," said Federer. "I did a nice job making the transition.
"It was a good match. I got off to a good start and kept rolling. Obviously maybe Roberto wasn't at his very best."
Federer broke his Spanish opponent in the fifth game of the first set and again in the seventh to win it in 19 minutes.
The 33-year-old broke again in the first game of the second set before Bautista Agut called for the trainer, having hurt his ankle sliding beyond the baseline.
Federer then attacked the Spaniard's serve early in the third to close the contest in one hour 26 minutes and move closer to a possible semi-final meeting with Andy Murray.
Federer beat the British number one in the 2012 final to win the last of those seven titles, and another potential showdown is an alluring prospect on a court that has seen the best of both men.
The Prison Service will own the Wrexham jail, which will house 2,000 men.
Just 34% of it will be run by private and voluntary organisations.
The prison will be category C - for inmates who cannot be trusted in open conditions but who do not have the resources and will to make a determined escape attempt.
Since March 2016, just 57 tests have been done on La Liga players from clubs not competing in Europe and none at all in the country's second division.
Spain's anti-doping body (AEPSAD) was declared non-compliant by the World Anti-Doping Agency in March 2016.
Wada hoped Fifa or Uefa could take on the country's drug testing in the interim but no agreement was struck.
"The lack of testing in a country with one of the leading football leagues worldwide for a period of almost 12 months is alarming," said Wada.
"It will do little to instil confidence in clean sport at a time when it is needed most."
AEPSAD responded by saying it expects testing to resume before the end of the month, once the new Spanish government approves WADA's global code.
A Wada-accredited laboratory in Madrid was suspended in June and was prohibited "from carrying out any Wada-related anti-doping activities including all analyses of urine and blood samples" after missing a deadline to make changes to its testing procedures.
AEPSAD has confirmed that they asked Fifa and Uefa to sign an agreement to take over testing during the suspension but that both declined as they felt it was outside their area of responsibility.
Wada described that as a "deeply disappointing" move which "prevented effective anti-doping programs from being run at the national level in Spain in a number of sports" during this period of non-compliance.
However, La Liga clubs playing in Europe and the Spanish national team have been subject to testing by Uefa and Fifa, respectively.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan
Given the global status of La Liga's clubs and star players, it will dismay many that literally no valid drugs testing has been carried out in Spanish football by the country's national anti-doping agency for almost a year - and that both Fifa and Uefa failed to step in to help.
For comparison, last season, 799 tests were carried out by UKAD on Premier League players.
The reputation of Spanish sport has already been seriously dented by the Operation Puerto blood-bags scandal, and this is another blow.
Eileen Swannack, 70, and partner John Welch, 74, both from Wiltshire, have not made contact since the shootings at the resort near Sousse on Friday.
Police said relatives of Ms Swannack and Mr Welch, of Corsham, were getting family liaison officer support.
It is feared up to 30 UK citizens were killed, but only 18 are confirmed dead.
Speaking to the BBC on Saturday, Mr Welch's grandson Daniel Welch said: "You know that we're going to get some sort of news at some point, whether it be today, tomorrow or the next day, and you know it's probably not going to be great, because they haven't been able to make contact themselves by now."
Tunisian authorities have arrested several people on suspicion of helping the gunman, who had links to the jihadist group Islamic State (IS).
Hick, 50, has been Cricket Australia's high performance coach since 2013.
He said: "The opportunity to work with some of the best players in the world is something I am looking forward to."
Head coach Darren Lehmann said Hick would prove "invaluable" with England set to host the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017, as well as an Ashes series and an ICC World Cup, both in 2019.
Zimbabwe-born Hick played 526 first-class matches between 1984 and 2008, scoring 136 centuries at an average of 52.23 - but only averaged 31.32 in 65 Tests between 1991 and 2001.
The former Worcestershire right-hander will begin his new role before Australia's Test series against South Africa in November.
A murder investigation was launched after one man, now known as Dennis Kelly, 59, of Slough was found with fatal stab wounds in Lower Cippenham Lane on Friday.
A second man, who was taken to hospital with life-threatening stab wounds, died on Sunday evening.
The second man is yet to be formally identified. Police said they do not believe anyone else was involved.
A post mortem into the second death is due to take place on Thursday.
Det Ch Insp Ailsa Kent: "At this stage of the investigation no arrests have been made.
"I understand that this incident will have caused concern but I can reassure the community that although no arrests have been made, I believe the only two people involved were the two men who have sadly died."
The 50-year-old is recuperating at Edinburgh's Western General Hospital.
"I've known him as a friend for over 10 years and I know how determined he is as a character," King said.
"He'll be back alright. If he can come back from this quickly then Eddie will do it."
Wolecki-Black was taken ill at half-time of the 3-1 victory at Central Park and taken to hospital in Kirkcaldy, before being transferred to a specialist stroke unit at the Western General Hospital.
Diamonds chairman King has spent time with the former Glasgow City boss in hospital over the weekend and says he has been in good spirits.
"I think it's going to be a long road back," King told BBC Scotland.
"I think a lot of these things, much of the recovery is down to how fit you are and how determined you are.
"One thing about Eddie, he is an unbelievable fighter. He's fought to get to where he is in coaching and he's such a terrific coach. We're delighted with the work he's doing."
The words "scum" and "Nazis" were daubed on the mural at the junction of Beverley Street and Northumberland Street.
It honours the life of Lieutenant Colonel John Henry Patterson.
He served in the British Army and commanded a volunteer force known as the Jewish Legion.
Police said the incident happened some time between Thursday evening and Friday morning and have appealed for information about the incident.
DUP MLA William Humphrey said those responsible for the graffiti were not reflective of Belfast and offered his full support to the city's Jewish community.
"I'm appalled that sick, evil people have sprayed grossly offensive anti-Semitic graffiti on a pro-Israel mural," he said.
"The Jewish community has and continues to make an important contribution to the religious, cultural, commercial and business life of Belfast."
Red Peak, designed by Wellington resident Aaron Dustin, experienced a groundswell of public support earlier this month after failing to make the final four for the competition.
Nearly 52,000 people have signed a petition calling for it to be added.
PM John Key had previously ruled out making changing the final line-up.
But he has now said it will be included in November's referendum, which will ask New Zealanders which of the designs they prefer.
A second vote in 2016 will ask whether they want to scrap the existing flag - featuring the Union Jack - and replace it with the winner.
The four finalists were not well received when they were unveiled earlier this month, with many dismissing them as boring, predictable or too corporate. Three featured a fern design and the fourth the curving koru Maori symbol.
Despite the subsequent massive support for Red Peak, Mr Key had ruled out including it as a fifth entry, saying doing so would require a change to the law.
But on Wednesday, Mr Key said his party would back a bill tabled by the Green party to amend the New Zealand Flag Referendums Act and allow a public say on Red Peak.
"In the end, I'm not wanting to be the one that stands in the way of people having some choice," he told reporters.
Green Party co-leader James Shaw said it was "kind of ridiculous that it has got to this point", and that Mr Key could have included Red Peak all along if he had wanted to.
The move was both celebrated and mocked on social media.
The conservative New Zealand First party, which is opposed to any changes to the flag, has said it will block the legal changes.
Deputy leader Ron Mark has also criticised Red Peak as resembling the design painted on Nazi sentry boxes.
"How offensive is that to veterans? It's going from farcical to ridiculous. We don't want a bar of it," he said.
Red Flag's designer has said the flag uses the shape of traditional weaving patterns, and "suggests a landscape of alpine ranges, red earth, and black sky", while referencing the Maori creation myth of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, also known as Rangi and Papa.
It also highlights New Zealand's position near the international dateline, which makes it one of the "first to hold the light of new day", he said.

Despite dominating the possession in the first half, Saints could not force their way past the Barry back line.
Jordan Cotterill hit the crossbar with a long range drive for Barry after the break but Seargeant later curled home.
Adrian Cieslewicz made it 2-0 with a neat finish from an acute angle while Seargeant found his second from close range and sealed it with a late effort.

Replacement fly-half Sam Davies' last-minute drop-goal clinched a nail-biting 33-30 victory for Wales, but Howley was not impressed with his team.
"It's relief more than frustration, but I thought Japan were the better team today and deserved to win," he said.
"While we came away with a win, it certainly felt like a loss and Japan deserve the accolades they will get."
Wales have now won two matches in a row after their 32-8 hammering by Australia in the opening game of the autumn series on 5 November.
They face South Africa in Cardiff next week, looking to win three autumn games for the first time since 2002 and with the Springboks reeling from a 20-18 defeat by Italy in Florence.
Howley believes his team will face a wounded animal in Cardiff, and will have to improve considerably after using their "get out of jail card" against Japan.
"I suppose in last two minutes we showed composure and a great drop-goal by Sam Davies but throughout the game we fuelled Japan's enthusiasm and energy," he said.
"Two offloads cost us 14 points when we've had the ball, which is disappointing and we fuelled their counter-attack.
"We picked a really strong team with experience. There were some new combinations in there and when we've made changes on other occasions in the autumn we've come up with this sort of performance sometimes."
Wales opened up an 11-point gap midway through the second half but made mistakes to allow the visitors back into the game - a fact Howley found particularly frustrating.
"After Sam [Warburton] scored there was daylight between the sides but we gave them turnover ball just outside our 22 and they've taken their tries well.
"All three tries they've scored when we had the ball - an offload by Gareth Anscombe, an offload by Liam Williams and a turnover in contact so we fuelled their game.
"In fairness to them they had the skill the energy and the enthusiasm to and were unfortunate not to win the game."
Howley did praise Ospreys fly-half Sam Davies, who came off the bench to win his second cap and won the game with a 30-metre drop-goal.
"I'm delighted for Sam Davies," said Howley.
"I thought he had the opportunity just a couple of minutes before that to go back into the pocket but he chose not to and the way he struck the ball was fantastic.
"It was a great drop-goal by Sam and he deserves the accolades he'll get."
It involves five large ponds at the treatment plant at Ballynacor.
The plant takes in sewage from Portadown, Lurgan and Craigavon.
Dumping the by-product of sewage treatment in such ponds was discontinued some years ago, but the lagoons remained.
The multi-million pound project saw the liquid being pumped out and treated.
What remained was mixed with ash and cement and used to backfill the lagoons, which were then filled-up with soil.
NI Water had intended to plant grass, but decided instead to create a wildflower meadow on the site together with Ulster Wildlife and the local council
300kgs of seed were gathered from nearby meadows at Oxford Island Nature Reserve and in County Fermanagh.
The seed has now been sown and will bloom next summer when yellow rattle, ragged robin, meadowsweet and oxeye daisy will attract insects, birds and small mammals.
Ciaran Crozier, of Northern Ireland Water, said the company was keen to get involved in projects that enhanced biodiversity.
Conor McKinney, of Ulster Wildlife, said by next summer the former sludge lagoons would be a "hive of activity" for wildlife.
There will be no public access to the site.
They all want to be in Wales on Saturday, 3 June 2017.
The 2017 Champions League final at Cardiff's Principality Stadium will be the biggest sporting event to have been staged in Wales with an estimated 200m people in more than 200 countries likely to watch the game on television.
Not only will it bring an estimated £45m into the Welsh economy, but it is hoped the world's most watched annual sporting event will push Wales further into world football's corridors of power after an historic Euro 2016 campaign.
The 2017 Champions League draw
The eyes of the world will be on Cardiff next summer with the likes of Manchester City manager Guardiola, who helped Barcelona win the Champions League in 2009 and 2011, and Bayern Munich boss Ancelotti, a three-time European Cup winner, eyeing up the trophy.
But the final could have a Welsh flavour with winger Bale aiming to lift a third Champions League trophy after Real Madrid's successes in 2014 and 2016.
"After winning the first Champions League, I knew the Super Cup was in Cardiff, so it was an amazing moment for me personally," he said, in reference to the 2014 Super Cup final at Cardiff City Stadium, where Madrid beat Sevilla 2-0 thanks to two Ronaldo goals.
"But to have the Champions League final in my home town is an even bigger motivation."
Wales is still riding a wave of euphoria with Welsh football fans excited to see what Chris Coleman's national team can achieve in their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign after the side reached the last four of Euro 2016.
"Everybody is mad for football, especially after the European Championship where we were able to perform so well," Bale, 27, said.
"Football is hopefully on the rise more than ever. And I think the city of Cardiff itself is growing and is now attracting big sporting events."
Cardiff hosted the 1999 Rugby World Cup final and six FA Cup finals while the new Wembley was being built, but hosting an event that draws a larger TV audience than American football's Super Bowl cements the city's status as a sporting capital alongside the likes of Milan, Berlin and London.
And with Cardiff City Stadium also hosting the Women's Champions League final on Thursday, 1 June, it is set to be a real festival of football.
The Football Association of Wales' 2017 Champions League project director Alan Hamer says Thursday's group stage draw has made the size and importance of the event hit home with teams like Barcelona, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund involved in the competition.
"Seeing the draw and the teams that could make it to Cardiff brings it all to life which is great and exciting," he said.
Wales fans were able to watch their team's Euro 2016 games at a Cardiff fan zone in Cooper's Field, which had a capacity of 6,000 people.
But Hamer says Cardiff's Champions League fan zone will be "much bigger".
"We're expecting at least 200,000 people to visit the fan zone," he said.
"The biggest attraction is the trophy... It's there for four days and there's no charge to go to the fan zone and people can have their photo taken with the trophy.
"Discussions are still ongoing, but hopefully we will be able to confirm a location [for the fan zone] fairly soon, but it is going to be in Cardiff within close proximity of the stadium."
Hamer has admitted staging such a big event will be a challenge, but is confident transport problems which affected fans travelling to games in Cardiff during the 2015 Rugby World Cup would not be repeated.
The 74,500-seat Principality Stadium will be referred to as "The National Stadium of Wales" in the build-up to the Champions League final with European football's governing body, Uefa, unwilling for the venue to be named after a sponsor.
The same happened to Munich's Allianz Arena in 2012 when it was re-branded as the Football Arena München.
The Welsh government says the nation "will gain the largest television exposure ever for an event" when it hosts the Champions League final and Hamer hopes the event will help build on Wales' success at Euro 2016 - their first major tournament for 58 years.
"One of the reasons the FAW wanted to stage the Champions League final was purely to develop football, to get more children and adults involved," he said.
"The Euros have been fantastic for us because it means that we're starting from a very high level, we've got the entire country enthused in football.
"We need to make sure that the Champions League takes it to the next level, that by the end of June next year we've got record numbers of people involved in football across Wales.
"Hopefully some of the activities that we have planned as part of our bid, taking the competition around Wales, lots of community football competitions and educational programmes will build on all the good work that has taken place over the last 12 months with the Euros and Welsh football will never be in a stronger position come end of June next year."
Properties like 900-year-old Tretower Court and Castle, near Crickhowell, as well as private homes dating to the medieval period are to be investigated.
The oldest domestic house identified so far is Hafod-y-Garreg in the Wye Valley which dates to 1402.
The study will take timber samples to pinpoint buildings' ages using tree ring dating or dendrochronology.
The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) is working on the project looking at properties in the old county of Breconshire in partnership with county history society, the Brecknock Society, which is particularly interested in properties in the Usk and Wye valleys.
It is due to get under way in the New Year with the findings published some time later.
Other properties being tested are The Three Tuns pub in Hay-on-Wye which is a 16th Century timber frame building.
The surviving wooden gates at 12th Century Hay Castle are also to be tested.
It was built by the powerful Norman Lord William de Braose and was ransacked the following century before being rebuilt by Henry III.
Tree-ring dating has already shown that Castle House, the adjoining Jacobean mansion, which was severely damaged by fire in 1939 and 1977, was built earlier than 1660.
RCAHMW architectural investigator Richard Suggett said the study would help people to understand the chronology and development of buildings in the area.
The Environmental Audit Committee says the tiny balls of plastic used in shower gels and facial scrubs can even be found in Arctic sea-ice and on the ocean floor.
The MPs say synthetic fibres from worn car tyres and fleece jackets may also be harming wildlife.
The government says it will consider a ban on microbeads in cosmetics if the EU doesn’t legislate against them.
But the MPs want ministers to take a firmer position on this growing problem.
The committee chair, Mary Creagh, said: “Trillions of tiny pieces of plastic are accumulating in the world’s oceans, lakes and estuaries, harming marine life and entering the food chain. A single shower can result in 100,000 plastic particles entering the ocean.
“Cosmetic companies’ voluntary approach to phasing out plastic microbeads simply won’t wash. We need a full legal ban.”
Why are microbeads controversial?
Microbeads are plastic particles smaller than 5mm. They are used in cosmetics, including toothpaste, to add body and provide abrasion. Manufacturers use them because the beads can be manufactured to uniform degrees of size and hardness.
Other microplastics result from the breakup of larger plastic objects in the oceans – like bags, bottles and discarded fishing gear. It is estimated that between 15-51 trillion microplastic particles have accumulated in the ocean.
Microplastics from cosmetics are thought to constitute just 0.01% to 4.1% of plastics entering the marine environment.
But the committee says that although microbeads are a small part of a huge problem, a ban would show commitment to tackling the wider issue.
Microplastic pollution is potentially more environmentally damaging than larger plastic waste, because it is more likely to be eaten by wildlife. Microplastics also have a greater surface area to attract toxins.
Professor Tamara Galloway from Exeter University said: “We find pieces of plastic in every sample of seawater we study from round the world. Many marine animals ingest microbeads, mistaking them for food. They can then be lodged in the animals’ gut – preventing them from eating nutritious food.
“An average plate of oysters could contain up to 50 plastic particles. We don’t have any evidence yet for the harm this might cause but most people would probably prefer not to be eating microbeads with their food.”
The tiny synthetic fibres used to make fleece jackets are also contaminating fish, the MPs have warned. One estimate suggests around 1,900 individual fibres can be rinsed off a single synthetic garment - with perhaps 40% of them evading sewage treatment works and ending up in the ocean.
This is ironic as fleece jackets are made of discarded plastic bottles, and have been considered a solution to waste plastic.
The biggest single source of microplastics is estimated to be abrasion from car tyres and road markings. But this issue is likely to prove much more difficult to address than a relatively straightforward ban on microbeads in shampoo, where substitutes are readily available.
Over 280 marine species have been found to ingest microplastics, but the MPs say much more research is needed into plastic pollution because there is huge uncertainty about the ecological risk.
"We are absolutely committed to protecting the world's seas, oceans and marine life from pollution, and will take a detailed look at the recommendations contained in this timely report," a spokesperson for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said.
"Many leading manufacturers have already taken voluntary steps to remove microbeads from cosmetics, beauty products and toothpastes. We will now consider what further action is appropriate, and make any announcements in due course."

The party, which was the largest at Basildon, Brentwood, Castle Point and Southend councils, has mainly suffered losses to UKIP and those authorities now have no overall control.
Labour has lost control of Thurrock to no overall control, but retained control of Harlow.
The European Parliament election vote will be counted on Sunday.
UKIP made 11 gains in Basildon and five in both Southend and Castle Point.
A party source said there was no particular strategy to target Essex.
"It's just a reflection on how organised we are becoming in areas of the country," he said.
In Basildon, the Tory council leader Tony Ball, who pushed through the controversial traveller evictions at Dale Farm, lost his ward to UKIP.
He was one of seven Conservatives to lose their seats, while Labour lost three and the Lib Dems one.
The Tories remain the largest party with 17 seats, UKIP has 11, Labour 10, the Lib Dems one and there are two independents.
In Castle Point, the Conservative leader of the council Pam Challis lost her seat to UKIP.
In Brentwood, the Conservatives lost one seat to the Liberal Democrats, one to the Brentwood First party and one to Labour, which means the council now has 18 Conservative, 11 Lib Dem, five independent and three Labour councillors.
In Southend, the council now has 19 Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats join UKIP on five after losing four seats, Labour gained three seats bringing their total to nine and there are 13 independents.
Labour lost two seats in Thurrock as UKIP gained five seats there. Overall, Labour now has 23 seats, the Conservatives 18, UKIP six, there are two independents and the Lib Dems remain without a seat.
Labour retained control of Harlow Council, despite losing three seats to UKIP, who won five seats in total as the Conservatives lost one and the independent lost his.
The Conservatives have retained control of Rochford.
Colchester remains with no single party in overall control.
The Conservatives retained control of Epping Forest but lost two seats. The Lib Dems also lost one but UKIP took two and the Green Party one.
Voting also took place across Essex for the European Parliament's East of England constituency and the count is due to take place on Sunday night.
Under the pension proposals, workers will also be expected to work for five more years before they can receive their full pension.
Unite joins other steel unions, Community, GMB and Ucatt, in voting for strike action.
Tata said the strike vote was "very disappointing".
If the action goes ahead, it will be the first national steel strike for 30 years.
The four unions represent 17,000 steel workers who have been told that they may have to retire at 65 rather than 60 under the new pension proposals.
Tata released an open letter to employees last Friday which said Tata's UK operations were losing money and the pension scheme had a shortfall of more than £2bn.
But Unite and the other unions claim that they have "already offered pension savings of £850m to the company after five months of intensive negotiations".
Unite national officer for steel Paul Reuter said: "Our members have made it clear that they are not prepared to have their contracts with their futures torn up in front of their eyes.
"We have offered Tata Steel UK the savings it says it needs. Instead the company is hell-bent on making people who work in a physically demanding environment graft unnecessarily for a further five years to get their full pension."
Unite said it would meet the other steel unions next week to discuss next steps, including industrial action.
A Tata Steel spokesman said: "We have been trying to develop an affordable and sustainable pension scheme for employees, so today's ballot result is very disappointing."
The firm pointed out that less than half the workforce voted for strike action.
But in signs that Tata may be bowing to pressure from the unions, it said: "We have over the last few months listened carefully to our employees during a consultation process.
"In response to this feedback, we will soon be announcing new measures which will lessen the impact of the proposed pension changes, particularly on our longest-serving employees nearing retirement age.
"We hope that these important changes to our proposals will be welcomed by employees and the trade unions and that they will consider this when deciding on any industrial action."
Profits within the UK steel industry are being squeezed by cheap imports and weak demand. Its costs are also higher than elsewhere for both energy and labour.
The company's parent, India's Tata Steel Ltd, reported an $889m (£582m) quarterly loss this month, partly because of its UK business.
In Wales, Tata has sites in Port Talbot, Llanwern in Newport, Shotton in Flintshire and Trostre, Carmarthenshire.
It also has a plant at Motherwell in Scotland, while in England, there are plants at Corby, Scunthorpe, Redcar, Rotherham, Hartlepool, Walsall and Wednesbury.
Visitors to Telkomsel's site on Friday morning were greeted by a profanity-laden message criticising the company.
The perpetrator also replaced the text that shows under Telkomsel's name and description in search engines, with an explicit message.
Telkomsel said it was repairing the site and investigating the incident.
BBC Indonesia reported that by 08:35 local time (02:35 GMT) the message had been replaced by a notice from Telkomsel explaining that the site was "under maintenance".
The post criticised the state-owned company for its high prices and complicated mobile plans, including its video and music streaming bundles.
The message was repeated in the company's meta description, the text that appears beneath a site's name and web address in search engines.
The name displayed in search results was also changed, with the company's name replaced by an offensive phrase.
Telkomsel posted an apology on its other websites "for the inconvenience of not being able to access [the] official website" during the incident and the ensuing repairs.
"We are currently performing the necessary tracking and improvements," Telkomsel Corporate Communication vice-president Adita Irawati said in a statement.
The company's mobile network was not affected.
The firm said its vehicles are emissions compliant.
Meanwhile, UK government testing has found no evidence of car manufacturers apart from the VW group fitting devices to cheat emissions testing.
However, the UK said real world emissions were higher than lab testing conditions for all manufacturers.
Authorities and car manufacturers have been on the alert in the wake of the Volkswagen emissions scandal, which emerged in late September.
Volkswagen (VW) admitted its diesel-engine cars had been fitted with computer software designed to flatter emissions data during tests, and on Thursday said it had reached a US deal to offer "substantial compensation" and car buy-backs.
Peugeot said on Thursday it had been "the subject of a visit and a seizure by France's General Directorate for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF)".
"PSA Group confirms compliance of its vehicles in pollutant emissions in all countries where it operates", it said in a statement.
"Confident in its technologies, PSA Group is fully cooperating with the authorities" the firm added.
In January competitor Renault was subject to police raids on its factories.
Meanwhile, the UK government said its vehicles testing programme had uncovered "no evidence of car manufacturers, apart from the VW Group, fitting devices to defeat the approved emissions test programme."
It said tests had been carried out on 56 different vehicle types in Germany and 37 different vehicle types in the UK over a period of six months.
The Department for Transport said it had "tested a representative selection of the UK's top selling diesel vehicles".
It said for all of the manufacturers tested, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions were higher in real world conditions and on the test track than they were under laboratory conditions, with "results varying significantly between different makes and models."
For example, testing of nitrogen oxide emissions for car models such as the Honda CRV, the Volvo V40, Mercedes E250, Peugeot 208 and Range Rover Sport found they exceeded the Euro 5 limit of 180mg per kilometre in real world conditions.
The Harlequins captain has not played since injuring a shoulder in April.
The 24-year-old - England's first-choice loose-head in the Six Nations - had surgery in May.
"It's been four weeks post-op now so it's full-on with the rehab and trying to get back fit," he told BBC Sport, adding that playing in the warm-up matches "is the plan".
England's first warm-up game is against France at Twickenham on 15 August, when Marler hopes to add to his 31 caps.
"The shoulder is a three-to-four-month time-span before I'm back fully fit," he explained.
"But come 22 June when we meet up with the team I should be able to do most things and should be able to put my hand up for selection there."
If Marler is unavailable, Saracens' Mako Vunipola is the next in the pecking order, while British and Irish Lion Alex Corbisiero and Wasps' Matt Mullan have also been named in the 50-man training squad.
England are due to meet at their Pennyhill Park base in June before travelling to a United States training camp in Denver, Colorado in July.
Stuart Lancaster's team face France again in Paris on 22 August before taking on Ireland on 5 September at Twickenham in their other two warm-up matches before beginning their World Cup campaign against Fiji at Twickenham on 18 September.
There were no reports of injuries. The fire, which broke out after midnight, was extinguished several hours later.
It took place at the Sagami Depot, a US Army post in Sagamihara, which is 40km (25 miles) south-west of Tokyo.
The US Army said the warehouse stored compressed gases including nitrogen, oxygen and freon. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the blast.
US officials have also said that the warehouse did not store ammunition or hazardous chemicals.

The 21-year-old, who is the daughter of trainer Aidan O'Brien, was injured when her mount Druids Cross slipped two furlongs out in the second race.
She was taken away in an air ambulance with fractures to her neck, back and cheeks, according to the Racing Post.
Druids Cross, a three-year-old trained by Ana's brother Joseph, was fatally injured.
O'Brien secured her first race win in 2013 at 16 and rode for her father in this year's English and Irish Derbys. | Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic has cut short a visit to Brussels, accusing Croatia of blocking his nation's progress towards EU membership.

From beating the dhol (traditional Indian drums) to ear-splitting music with a DJ, there was plenty of off-court entertainment for tennis fans attending the inaugural International Premier Tennis League (IPTL).
But this is not a regular championship.
With brightly coloured uniforms, laser light shows, Bollywood dance numbers and, more importantly, a quick-fire format, the five-set match ends in roughly three hours.
Watching legends Roger Federer and Pete Sampras live was a first for Indian fans. The country is not in the Grand Slam network. But the organisers are hoping it will win millions of new fans to the game of tennis.
Indeed, there's no lack of support. A recent Facebook study revealed that after the US, India has the second highest number of tennis fans in the world.
And on the ground, with more than 10,000 spectators in the stadium, there was a strong show of support for the first IPTL. Tickets sold out online within minutes.
The big selling point of this new format game is that it's a franchise-based tournament with a mix of celebrity team owners, offering a chance to see current and former international stars play together.
But what do players make of it? Roger Federer says it's not going to replace how current big names play the tour.
"But it definitely has a place in our sport," says the Swiss star. "To have more interaction, more fun, different rules, you know you bend it, customise it, so it works for everybody involved."
He says while it's a very interesting concept, he likes "the idea of it being in a part of the world where you don't see that many tournaments after all".
He adds: "It's a really fascinating part of the world, for us to come here and those who want to play in the off-season can do it, and those who don't want to do it don't have to."
Back at the stadium, pundits say they expect watching Federer in action to inspire a generation of young tennis players.
Unlike in cricket - where Indians are fiercely nationalistic - sports like tennis are popular irrespective of the player's nationality. So Roger Federer is treated like a rock star here.
But away from the stars, it's a different story.
Tennis, like most other sports, has to vie for attention in cricket-obsessed India.
Aspiring players face huge challenges from finding good courts to the right coaches. And even when parents find academies, they can start at as little as $10 (6.65) to participate but some cost up to $100 an hour for private coaching.
To make it a career, parents have to be ready to spend serious money, including on travel and hotel expenses.
Delhi resident Jahnavi Mehra says her 12-year-old son Rohan plays tennis at a national level. So she spends a lot of time and effort making sure he is sent to the right tennis camps and is able to travel to various championships around the country.
Her younger son Dhruv is six and also plays.
It's getting increasingly tough to make sure both boys get enough opportunities, she says.
But the bigger problem is for parents who don't have this kind of money or access to events. So in a way, it is an elite sport in India.
While there are sports scholarships, they are limited to very few cities and not everyone can get them. But Gayatri Singh, whose son Ishaan plays, feels things are beginning to change for the better.
"Things have drastically changed in India," she says.
"If you want to play tennis here, there is now enough in terms of infrastructure, courts, coaches. There are so many children playing, so you don't feel like you're the only one. You can make it big - if you pursue it the sky is the limit."
But the bigger picture is less rosy. The country's tennis authorities have been embroiled in numerous controversies over recent years, including player selection issues and accusations of favouritism.
So consistent international success has been elusive and the best performances have been largely restricted to doubles events.
But for top Indian players, the launch of three private leagues is great economic news as its offers them a chance to earn a lot more money.
Rohan Bopanna started young and has done well in various ATP World Tour events in doubles competitions. The 34-year-old thinks the leagues provide an opportunity for players like him to play with imported talent and improve their own skill levels.
So with things improving for the sport, can tennis be financially feasible as a career for young Indians?
Bopanna agrees that the situation has improved compared to when he started playing, but says that India still has "a long way to go to catch Europe or the US".
The difficulty for youngsters choosing tennis as a fledgling career is that India does not have enough entry-level tournaments that offer substantial cash prizes.
So financing for a full-time tennis player is hard. Bopanna says he is grateful for the support of his parents, whom he acknowledges had a tough time helping him pay his way.
"Without them I wouldn't even have gotten here. They made a lot of sacrifices," he says. "So we definitely need a lot of corporates to come out and help sportsmen in India, that's the only way sports will grow in India."
Critics often say players in India make it big because of their individual effort, and that there is no system in place to produce champions.
However, the government is taking notice of the increased interest in sports like tennis, and has increased the budget allocation to develop sports by nearly 50%.
If sport federations and business corporations get behind the sport in the same way as the glitzy private leagues, then it will definitely be advantage tennis in India.

It will be his 27th professional MMA bout and second in the UFC after his debut win over Sweden's Magnus Cedenblad in Belfast last November.
Marshman, 27, was the first Welshman to sign to the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
"This is a massive step up," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"The guy (Santos) was ranked in the top 15 in the world a couple of months ago. This is by far the biggest fight so far.
"I'm confident I'll go out there and beat this guy."
Santos, 33, has had nine fights in the UFC but has lost his last two.
Marshman says he is aiming to be in the top 15 himself by the end of the year and beating Santos would be a crucial step along the way.
"This is a momentum fight. I beat this guy and I've just beaten someone who was ranked 15th," he said.
"It's really going to step me forward. I feel I've got the measure of him and I can't see how I'm going to lose."
The former soldier says some pubs in his home town of Abertillery staying open late so people can watch his fight which is scheduled for midnight in the UK.
"The amount of support I get in Wales is unreal," he said.
"They like to see someone from small areas that have never really had anything and I think they're enjoying my journey as much as I am."

Under the plans, childcare providers currently classed as "satisfactory" will be dubbed "requiring improvement" and undergo extra inspections.
The move follows concerns that nurseries are not improving fast enough, particularly in deprived areas.
The Pre-School Learning Alliance warned that real improvements would require better funding for childcare.
Chief inspector of education Sir Michael Wilshaw announced a consultation on the proposals in a speech to an invited audience in London.
Similar changes were made to school inspection ratings last year.
Ofsted says that evidence from inspections shows that nurseries, pre-schools and childminders are not improving fast enough between inspections, particularly in poorer areas.
The latest Ofsted figures show that in 2012 the majority of England's nurseries and childminders were judged "good" (62%) or "outstanding" (12%) by inspectors - but 25% were judged "satisfactory", with 1% classed as "inadequate".
Under the proposed changes from September, only "good" or better will be deemed acceptable by Ofsted.
The watchdog says the proposals "will raise expectations and tackle weaker settings".
Nurseries and pre-schools "requiring improvement" will undergo more frequent inspections and will have a maximum of four years to achieve a "good" rating.
Those that fail to do this are likely then to be judged "inadequate" and may face closure.
"We all know from the research that children's early years are a period of rapid development and vital for building a secure foundation for future personal and academic success," Sir Michael said.
"Parents, whatever their circumstances, want their children to access good-quality childcare and get a good early education that sets them up well for statutory schooling.
"Yet too many providers are not good enough, particularly in the most deprived areas. We must be tougher on weak settings."
Sir Michael added that Ofsted would encourage good or outstanding childcare providers to support weaker ones.
Ofsted's most recent report on early years providers said that, despite an overall improvement, many children were not well prepared for school, particularly in poor areas.
The report, analysing inspection reports from 2011-12, said: "It is a concern that 34% of children are not working securely in communication, language and literacy by the end of the early years foundation stage.
"It is also worse in deprived areas, where 41% of children are not working securely in communication, language and literacy," it adds.
Sir Michael said that inspections would also include a focus on qualifications held by early years staff. Earlier this year the ministers announced plans to allow nurseries and childminders to look after more children, but only if there is a qualified graduate present.
Ministers also said it was not acceptable that childcare professionals are not required to have at least GCSE grade C in English and maths.
Commenting on Ofsted's announcement, education and childcare minister Elizabeth Truss said: "I want to see more teacher-led nursery classes where children are learning so that they arrive at school ready to progress."
Prof Andy Goodwyn, of the University of Reading's Institute of Education, warned: "What the sector needs is not tougher inspection but better investment and a period of stability to allow its staff to build up their skills.
"It needs to become an attractive and high-status sector that can attract graduates who can see a real career path and a sustainable future. The very last thing it needs is more threats, disguised as yet another crusade to 'raise standards'."
Groups representing childcare providers broadly welcomed the focus on improvement with some reservations. Neil Leitch, of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, said: "While we welcome the aspiration of high-quality childcare, without a rethink on policy and adequate funding from government, we struggle to see how a real improvement will be made."
Purnima Tanuku, of the National Day Nurseries Association, urged the government "to make sure that there are sufficient support mechanisms in place to help weaker settings get better".
She warned that local authority cuts had reduced the amount of local improvement work and free training for staff.
Anand Shukla, of the Daycare Trust, added: "We are particularly concerned by the suggestion that Ofsted will be the sole arbiter of quality in the early years. Ofsted is ultimately a regulator with a limited remit and is not resourced to enable it to influence providers in all parts of England.
"Local authorities tend to have local intelligence and are closest to providers."
Catherine Farrell, of the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years, said: "These new grades can only be introduced if Ofsted's own inspection judgements are more robust and if government recognises that providers will still need support and advice on how to improve."
The Airbus A-321 had just left Sharm el-Sheikh and was bound for the Russian city of St Petersburg when it came down in the Sinai peninsula on Saturday.
It was registered in the Republic of Ireland through a leasing company but was operated by a Russian airline.
The IAA said the plane's certifications "were satisfactory" on its last review.
An IAA spokesman added that oversight of the operation of the aircraft, including daily and monthly checks, was Russia's responsibility under International Civil Aviation Organisation rules.
Two inspectors from the Republic of Ireland's Air Accident Investigation Unit and an expert from the IAA are expected to travel to Egypt on Monday to join the investigation into the cause of the crash.
An inquiry by aviation experts using data from the aircraft's black boxes has yet to give its conclusions.
But the Russian airline Kogalymavia has blamed "external activity" for the crash.
All 217 passengers and seven crew died when the plane crashed.
The bodies of 144 of those killed have been flown back to St Petersburg.
A team of experts from Edinburgh's Spectrum Heritage is 3D scanning the structures, which sit in the Old Inverurie Churchyard.
Exposure to the elements has left the stones in a poor condition, and some of the Pictish carvings have been eroded.
The stones will be temporarily removed to allow conservation work to take place.
Clara Molina Sanchez, director of Spectrum Heritage, said: "The 3D recording is going to help the conservation process.
"We'll be removing the biological growth that's growing on the surface of the stones and consolidating all the areas that are a little bit fragile."
Mayor Mike Singer said the rally against the removal of Confederate monuments "harkens back to the days of the KKK" - the white supremacist group.
Protesters are upset over the city's decision to remove statues honouring the losing side of the US Civil War.
More than 100 people attended a counter-protest the following night.
Several dozen protesters had held the torch-lit rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, at about 21:00 local time on Saturday night (01:00 GMT Sunday) to protest against the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E Lee.
The protesters were heard chanting, "You will not replace us", "Russia is our friend" and the far-right nationalist slogan "blood and soil".
Mayor Singer said in a statement: "This event involving torches at night in Lee Park was either profoundly ignorant or was designed to instil fear in our minority populations in a way that harkens back to the days of the KKK."
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a terror group that arose after the Confederacy was defeated by the Union in the Civil War.
Its tactics included random acts of violence against black people, as well as vandalism, cross-burning, and other forms of intimidation.
Mr Singer said that, as a community, "we reject this intimidation" adding "intolerance is not welcome here".
Protesters on Saturday held lit torches for about 10 minutes, local media reported, before a fight broke out and police dispersed the crowd.
The rally was led by Richard Spencer, a fixture of the so-called "alt-right" movement, who was filmed shortly after the election of Donald Trump leading supporters in Nazi salutes as they shouted "Heil Trump".
"We will not be replaced from this park," Mr Spencer told the crowd at a different rally held hours earlier.
"We will not be replaced from this world. Whites have a future. We have a future of power, of beauty, of expression," he said.
Cities across the southern US have been debating the removal of Confederate symbols since a 2015 massacre at a black church in South Carolina by a self-avowed white supremacist gunman.
The issue has entered into the Virginia governor's election, with Republican candidate Corey Stewart vowing not to remove any Confederate memorials if he is elected.
The city of New Orleans has begun the removal of several monuments. Workers have undertaken the task in the middle of the night, wearing face masks and bulletproof vests, and under the protection of armed police officers.
Bob Holmes found evidence of the £1 bet while going through his late father-in-law's paperwork.
Through a shop code, William Hill found that the bet had been placed at odds of 11-1, meaning a payout of £12.
But the firm decided to add inflation, making it £130. They also gave out £130 in bets and donated £130 to Water Aid.
Bob Holmes, 76, his wife Nancy, 75, and Nancy's sister, Rhoda Robertson, 79, all from Houston in Renfrewshire, are sharing the winnings and have each placed bets on Saturday's Grand National.
The £1 bet had been placed on the 1974 Grand National by Mr Holmes father-in-law Joe Robertson, who died in 1979 at the aged of 82.
Mr Holmes told the BBC Scotland news website: "Twelve pounds would have been a lot of money in those days. He must've turned the house upside down looking for it."
He said Ms Robertson had been planning to throw all her father's old paperwork out.
"But I'm quite a curious person so started looking through it and saw the betting slip with Red Rum on it," he said.
"I thought I could keep it as a curiosity but thought it might be worth letting William Hill know.
"I was very surprised when they said they would pay out and delighted when they said they would inflation-proof it."
William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe told the BBC news website: "Everyone has heard of Red Rum so it's difficult to understand how he didn't collect his winnings.
"I've been with the company for 45 years and we always go out of our way to settle any late claims - but the previous record was seven years.
"We ascertained that the code referred to a shop that is no longer a betting shop but proved it was genuine. It seemed a bit churlish to just pay out £12 so we agreed to add inflation which made it £130.
"We also donated £130 to Bob's chosen charity Water Aid and gave out an additional £130 worth of bets for this year's Grand National to see if the family luck would maintain itself over 43 years."
In homage to Red Rum, Mrs Holmes has put a £25 each way bet on favourite Definitly Red, in Saturday's Grand National, while Mr Holmes has put a £20 each way bet on Blaklion. Ms Robertson has put a £20 each way bet on Ucello Conti.
The circles consist of barren ground, ringed by grass and measuring 2-15m (7-49ft) in diameter.
Computer modelling and field work suggest they could be caused by plants taking advantage of termite activity.
Researchers from the universities of Strathclyde and Princeton outlined the theory in the journal Nature.
Until recently, the phenomenon was thought to be confined to the Namib desert in southern Africa. But in 2014, similar circles were observed in western Australia.
For many years, scientists have debated the possible causes.
Some have argued they are the result of sand termites eating the roots of vegetation while others have suggested that competition between different plant species is the cause.
The new explanation seeks to unify both theories by suggesting it is the interaction between the two that gives rise to the fairy circles.
Termites remove vegetation above their mound in order to conserve water. Vegetation at the perimeter of the mound then takes advantage of the increased moisture levels to grow taller.
Dr Juan Bonachela from the University of Strathclyde's Department of Mathematics and Statistics, said: "There have long been two theories on how these regular patterns, and especially fairy circles, are formed, and both theories are normally presented as mutually exclusive.
"Our findings harmonise both theories and find a possible explanation for regular vegetation patterns observed around the globe.
"In the case of fairy circles, termites remove vegetation on their mounds to increase moisture, which is essential for the insects' survival in dry environments, thus creating the bare disk.
"Vegetation around the mound takes advantage of this water accumulation to grow, and this taller vegetation forms the circle. Regular repetition of the pattern results from different termite colonies competing next to one another.
"This behaviour affects the whole ecosystem, allowing it to survive harsher conditions and recover from droughts much more quickly than if there were no termites."
The research used field data from four different continents and computer simulations.
The surface was assessed at 10:00 GMT on Saturday following heavy rain in Dundee.
No date has yet been set for a rearranged fixture.
Motherwell have already had a top-flight fixture postponed this month with their game at Partick Thistle on 5 December also falling victim to rain.
The 07:30 BST journey from Douglas to Liverpool and the 11:15 return have been cancelled along with the 08:45 to Heysham and its 14:15 return crossing.
The Steam Packet Company said its evening and overnight crossings are also "subject to disruption."
All passengers are advised to contact the ferry operators.
A Met Office spokesman said winds could reach severe gale force nine, around 60 mph (97 km/h), this afternoon.
He added that there will be a gradual improvement overnight and into Wednesday.
It has the largest proportion of indigenous people, who make up around two-thirds of the population.
The country has the second-largest reserves of natural gas in South America, but there have been long-running tensions over the exploitation and export of the resource. Indigenous groups say the country should not relinquish control of the reserves, which they see as Bolivia's sole remaining natural resource.
Bolivia is also one of the world's largest producers of coca, the raw material for cocaine. A crop-eradication programme, though easing the flow of conditional US aid, has incensed many of Bolivia's poorest farmers for whom coca is often the only source of income.

President: Evo Morales
First elected in December 2005, Evo Morales, from the Aymara indigenous group, is first president to come from the country's indigenous majority.
As a leader of a coca-growers union, he was also the first president to emerge from the social movements whose protests forced Bolivia's two previous presidents from office.
Having come to power with a radical programme aimed at addressing the extreme social divisions and inequalities of Bolivia, he achieved in a few short years real social gains for the majority of Bolivians.
Mr Morales' political ideology combines standard left-wing ideas with an emphasis on traditional indigenous Andean values and concepts of social organisation.
By the middle of 2006, he had renationalised Bolivia's oil and gas industries.
With the gas money, Mr Morales's administration invested heavily in public works projects and social programmes to fight poverty which reduced by 25% during his government. Extreme poverty dropped by 43%.
In February 2016, Mr Morales lost a referendum that would have allowed him to run for president for a fourth term.
The Bolivian media continue to be polarized, resulting in a great deal of tension for journalists that the authorities do nothing to defuse, Reporters Without Borders reported in 2015.
Newspaper readership is limited by low literacy.
With hundreds of stations, radio is important, especially in rural areas. Bolivia's media landscape is dominated by private newspapers and broadcasters although there has been a rapid growth in state-owned media, including community radio stations, Freedom House said.
Some key dates in Bolivia's history:
1538 - Spanish conquer Bolivia, which becomes part of the vice-royalty of Peru.
1824 - Venezuelan freedom fighter Simon Bolivar, after whom Bolivia is named, liberates the country from Spanish rule. One year later, Bolivia becomes independent with Simon Bolivar as its president.
1952 - Peasants and miners overthrow military regime; Victor Paz Estenssoro returns from exile to become president and introduces social and economic reforms, including universal suffrage, nationalisation of tin mines and land redistribution, and improves education and the status of indigenous peoples.
1964 - Vice-President Rene Barrientos stages military coup, ushering in a period of political unrest punctuated by uprisings and military coups.
1989 - Leftist Jaime Paz Zamora becomes president and enters power-sharing pact with former dictator Hugo Banzer.
2003 September-October - 80 killed, hundreds injured in protests fuelled by government plans to export natural gas via Chile. President Sanchez de Lozada resigns under pressure of protests and is succeeded by Carlos Mesa. Mesa is forced to resign two years later after protests continue. Socialist leader Evo Morales wins presidential elections, becoming the first indigenous Bolivian to fill the post.
2006 - Bolivia completes its gas nationalisation programme, giving the state control over the operations of foreign energy firms.
2009 - New constitution giving greater rights to indigenous majority is approved in a national referendum.
2014-2016 - Evo Morales wins a third term as Bolivia's president; two years later he loses a referendum for the right to run a fourth time.
Peter Fuller acted "selflessly" to save dentist Dr Sarandev Bhambra in Tesco in Mold in January 2015 which led to his attacker being jailed for life.
Mr Fuller received the bravery award at the annual ceremony in Cardiff Bay.
Wales boss Chris Coleman won the sport award for helping Wales' football team reach the Euro 2016 finals.
He is the first national boss to help his team qualify for a major tournament since Jimmy Murphy led the country to the 1958 World Cup.
The citizenship award went to Janet Williams from Porthmadog, Gwynedd, who has fostered more than 100 children over the past 35 years.
A special award went to international rugby referee Nigel Owens, from Carmarthenshire, who was described as being a "fabulous ambassador for Wales".

The Mexican government said almost 100 raids had been carried out in 12 countries.
Three girls aged between nine and 15 were rescued in Mexico, a government commission said in a statement.
Computers were seized that were allegedly used to post indecent videos on the internet.
The Mexican National Security Commission said searches were carried out in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Spain, the United States, Uruguay and Venezuela.
"Operation Without Borders" was aimed at "breaking various structures dedicated to the distribution of pornographic material of children via the internet", the commission said in a statement.
A fourth girl was rescued as part of the operation but the commission did not specify in which country.
The raids come two months after Spanish police arrested more than 80 people in raids targeting images of child sex abuse.
People inspired to strip for the New York-based photographer, as well as those who have removed their clothes for other human installations, bare all and share their experiences of getting naked in the name of art.
"I'd been aware of Strange Cargo (the gallery that hosted a Spencer Tunick event in 2014) and they were a massive influence on me.
"I was intrigued by the prospect of getting involved in the nude art installation and was lucky enough to pass the selection process.
"There were around 70 of us taking part - all ages and sizes - when we gathered to pose on Folkestone Beach. I stood next to a pregnant lady.
"The photo shoot took place in the summer so it wasn't too cold. We were made to feel very comfortable and the process took around five to 10 minutes.
"I feel very proud to have taken part in the event."
"I participated in Tunick's 2010 homage to LS Lowry's Everyday People at various places in Manchester and it was a fascinating although chilly experience. Some of the people who met there are still in touch and have reunions.
"One person I'm good friends with from that freezing cold at 5am in May experience had never been naked in public before and was challenging herself to do something daring. It has been an enduring memory and something which has bonded us together.
"The art exhibition which resulted from this was displayed at The Lowry at Salford Quays and some of the photos were stunning.
"I did not do it because of a love of Lowry's pictures, not because I enjoy shivering naked and being ordered around, but because it was something new and unique and different.
"Now I have the chance to do something similar in Hull. I'll be applying to participate."
"I have taken part in a couple of Spencer Tunick's installations in the past and even been to a couple of his private party installations.
"The first one I went to was in Salford. I was a bit nervous at first, but once over that it was one of the best things I'd ever done.
"There is something very primal about being just you, without even a fig leaf to hide yourself from the person next to you.
"Once you realise you can do that, it changes who you are in such a positive way.
"It's also a great way to make friends. Many of us have stayed in touch over the years and meet up from time to time.
"I'd recommend everyone experience that feeling at least once in their lives."
Captain Lee Wallace slotted home the opener after being played in by Josh Windass after 16 minutes.
The lead was extended on the half hour, when Andy Halliday scored from the penalty spot after Jason Holt was fouled.
Windass set up Joe Garner to flick Rangers' third past goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald after the break.
With Aberdeen and St Johnstone both losing and Hearts being held to a draw, it meant that the Glasgow side finished the day a point ahead of those three still nine points behind leaders Celtic.
There had been murmurings around Ibrox about the future of manager Mark Warburton following the League Cup semi-final defeat by Celtic and the midweek draw at home to Saints.
With the club suspension of Joey Barton dragging on after his fallout with his fellow Englishman, Warburton had been linked with the vacancy at Wigan Athletic.
The boos that rang out in midweek would have reached a crescendo had Kilmarnock continued their own good form with a win that would have taken them level with their hosts.
But what a difference one set of results can make - with Rangers doing their own bit with their biggest league win since their promotion to the Premiership.
The hosts were holding their annual Remembrance memorial and rolled out a light artillery gun to mark the end of a minute's silence.
As the game got underway, smoke from its ear-cracking blast had barely cleared when Holt then Michael O'Halloran threatened the Killie goal.
Kilmarnock had their moments as forward Jordan Jones skipped past James Tavernier before whipping a shot beyond the far post.
However, Windass was pulling the strings for Rangers and had already set up O'Halloran with a sublime cross-field pass to force a save from MacDonald before playing his part in the opening goal.
Windass turned away from Luke Hendrie on half-way with a clever dummy before rolling the ball beyond the Killie back-four for the galloping Wallace, who beat MacDonald at his near post.
Rangers' second came when former Ibrox defender Stevie Smith's clumsy challenge on Holt left referee John Beaton with no choice but to point to the spot.
The pace of Halliday strike sent the spot kick past MacDonald.
There was now a fight and sense of belief in the Rangers ranks that has rarely been seen this term and they made sure of just the points two minutes into the second half.
Windass scuffed his volley on the corner of the box, but it made its way into the six-yard box, where Garner was lurking to tap home his second goal in two games.
Rangers' Mark Warburton: "We wanted to be dynamic, we wanted to be positive in our decision-making and we got the early chances straight away.
"Our intention was clear and we played a very pleasing first half. When we lost the ball, we reacted very quickly to get it back and win it high up the back and we created a host of chances.
"We wanted to come out, get on the ball and score the next goal, which we did really early.
"We just controlled the game from there. Maybe the tempo dipped a little bit in the second half, understandably against a very good Kilmarnock side who were high on confidence coming here. I thought it was a very good performance."
Kilmarnock's Lee Clark: "It was disappointing and quite similar to Celtic in that we've been very passive in the game.
"We thought we had an opportunity with the confidence levels of the players after their performance on Wednesday.
"We wanted to keep the game tight as long as we could so the fans would become a little bit nervous. But we allowed Rangers to gain momentum. The crowd got behind them and that made it a very difficult afternoon for us. Did it become an overwhelming occasion? It looks that way."

Tracey Connelly, 33, was jailed in 2009 and let out on licence in 2013, but returned to prison for breaching her parole conditions this year.
Earlier this month, a Parole Board panel decided against directing her release.
A spokesman said she would be eligible for review within two years.
The spokesman added: "The Parole Board is unable to comment on the specifics of any case due to the Data Protection Act."
Connelly admitted causing or allowing her one-year-old son Peter's death soon after being charged, and spent more than a year on remand before being sentenced in May 2009.
She received a sentence of "imprisonment for public protection", which carries a minimum term after which prisoners can be considered for release.
When deciding whether to release a prisoner, the Parole Board considers the nature of their crime, their history, their progress in prison, any statements made on their behalf and reports from relevant professionals.
Peter Connelly died in Tottenham, north London on August 3 2007 at the hands of his mother, her boyfriend, Steven Barker, and their lodger, Jason Owen.
Barker was given a 12-year sentence for his "major role" in Peter's death.
Owen was jailed indefinitely with a minimum three-year term, but later on appeal that was changed to a fixed six-year term. He was freed in August 2011 but has since been recalled to prison.
Peter suffered more than 50 injuries despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over the final eight months of his life.
A series of reviews identified missed opportunities when officials could have saved the toddler's life if they had acted properly on the warning signs.
David Marks, of Marks Barfield, revealed during a briefing with councillors that private funding for the i360 tower had been pulled.
But he said he was confident the £38m project will still go ahead.
Brighton and Hove City Council said its £15m loan offer still stood. The scheme also has a £3m enterprise loan.
The investors pulled their funding in the summer of 2012 but the information has only just emerged.
Mr Marks, who also helped to design the London Eye, said the investors had been "very reluctant to pull out".
He added: "The reasons they said had much more to do with the market and investor sentiment in their funds than the project, which is resilient and financially viable."
He said he was currently in discussions with other investors and that he and his wife Julia had invested their own money into the project.
Mr Marks added: "We care deeply about this project.
"We believe it's iconic in scale and design and it'll raise the profile of the city. We think it'll do a lot of good things for the city, it'll create jobs, it'll bring in visitors, it'll help more people stay overnight and it'll be a fantastic thing for the city.
"We will do this, this will happen."
Chairman of the economic development and culture committee, councillor Geoffrey Bowden, said he had confidence in Mr Marks.
But Brighton developer Mike Holland, who has previously expressed a wish to buy the nearby ruined West Pier, said the project did not have a hope of being realised.
He said: "Let's be honest about it, Nelson has more chance of getting his eye back than David Marks does of finding backing for this scheme.
"Let's stop talking about it, let's all stop being silly and let's get on and do something else. Let's tidy the seafront up.
"We either look for somebody to come along and rebuild in the old style or new style, or whatever, or we just take the thing away and we just tidy the railings and let the traders get on."
The developers believe the tower will attract up to 670,000 visitors a year.
The 66-year-old, from Hackballscross in County Louth, denies failing to furnish tax returns between 1996 and 2004.
The charges arise out of a probe by the Irish police's Criminal Assets Bureau.
The trial is taking place before three judges in a non-jury court and is expected to last three weeks.
Counsel for the state has said that despite Mr Murphy applying for and receiving government grants of more than 100,000 euros (£73,600) he did not make any returns to revenue commissioners.
He said he will show that Mr Murphy had access to considerable cash, more than 300,000 euros (£220,000), for renting land for silage purposes and for dealing with cattle marts.
Grainne Dalton, a retired official from the Irish Department of Agriculture, conceded under cross-examination that she had not personally seen Mr Murphy or any other grant applicant receive or complete forms.
Mr Murphy's lawyer said his client did not accept that he had played any role in submitting grant applications and denied the signatures on the forms were his hand writing.
The presiding judge agreed to a defence request to delay the trial until Thursday to allow them to access disclosure documents.
If found guilty, Mr Murphy could face up to five years in prison.

Many of them are trying to escape poverty and war in their home countries.
Criminal gangs pack too many people into small boats, which leak and often sink. There's nobody to make sure the journey is safe.
Ayshah has been to Sicily, an island that's part of Italy, where rescue boats arrive every day, to find out what's being done to help.
She's heard from Babukar, a teenager who made the journey from Libya.
Carmarthenshire council voted to drop the English stream at Ysgol Llangennech, near Llanelli.
Michael Jones, a co-ordinator for Parents for Welsh Medium Education, said the decision should be accepted.
"If they do not like the Welsh language, can I suggest that that border is over there," he said.
"And they can cross the border," he added.
The removal of the English medium stream at the school has been an attempt to increase Welsh-language provision after a fall in the number of Welsh speakers; however English will still be taught as a subject.
Mr Jones told Welsh language news programme Newyddion 9: "If they do not want to be in a country where Welsh is spoken, well go somewhere else.
"But, if not, accept the fact there are two languages in Wales. I'm not saying that because they are English speakers to leave Wales.
"But I do say that if they cannot stand and hear the Welsh language, they better go somewhere else."
The move follows a bitter battle within the community over the issue. At the Carmarthenshire council vote vote - 38 councillors were in favour of the proposal and 20 against.
On Friday, Parents for Welsh Medium Education, known as RhAG, distanced itself from the remarks made by its co-ordinator Michael Jones and demanded an apology from the BBC.
The statement said: "RhAG (Parents for Welsh Medium Education) is demanding an apology from the BBC for today's news items involving Welsh medium education.
"The items claim that RhAG wants people who don't wish Welsh medium education to move across the border.
"RhAG has never expressed this, and RhAG would never profess such an idea.
"RhAG's aim is for Welsh medium education to be available to all who wish their children to be fully bilingual."

Indonesian embassy officials met Siti Aisyah on Saturday in the Malaysian capital.
She said she was given the cash to smear Kim Jong-nam's face with "baby oil" as part of a reality show joke.
Tests show Mr Kim was killed with the highly toxic nerve agent VX.
It is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations.
Who could be behind the attack?
Unravelling the mystery of Kim Jong-nam's death
Mr Kim died last week after two women accosted him briefly in a check-in hall at a Kuala Lumpur airport.
There is widespread suspicion that North Korea was behind the attack, which it strongly denies.
Three people have been arrested for the murder, while at least seven other suspects are wanted by police, including four North Korean men.
After a 30-minute meeting with Siti Aisyah on Saturday, Indonesian Deputy Ambassador Andreano Erwin said: "She only said in general that somebody asked her to do this activity. She only said in general she met with some people who looked Japanese or Korean.
"According to her, that person gave her 400 ringgits to do this activity... She only said she was given a kind of oil, like baby oil."
The officials said they did not see any physical signs that the suspect had been affected by the chemical.

Seven hundred and seven students at Wellington College lay down to represent the number of the school's former pupils who died in the war.
Head boy Harry Randall described the two-minute tribute as "such a moving experience".
The school is hosting a conference on public schools and World War I.
Many Wellington College pupils went to join the fighting in the trenches in France straight after leaving school.
Harry said: "At the start of the First World War, people our age were preparing to go to war - and that's a scary thought. They'd be sent off in charge of a squad of 30 men.
"We lay down for two minutes, but for the men who gave their lives and paid the ultimate sacrifice - they never got up."
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) says ranibizumab, sold under the brand name Lucentis, is too expensive to use in people with diabetic macular oedema.
Charities say they will continue to campaign for the drug to be used.
At least 50,000 people in the UK are affected by this eye condition.
Macular oedema occurs when fluid leaks from the small blood vessels in the eye.
The fluid collects in the central part of the retina at the back of the eye, called the macular area, which can lead to severe visual impairment.
Straight lines may appear wavy and people can have blurred central vision or sensitivity to light.
Sight can become so impaired that the person can no longer read, work or drive.
Laser treatment has been the standard treatment for diabetic macular oedema on the NHS, but this only stops vision from deteriorating further.
An injection of Lucentis in the eye, however, can improve vision.
NICE already recommends Lucentis to the NHS for a different eye condition called wet age-related macular degeneration.
Four UK charities - Diabetes UK, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Macular Disease Society and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) - are urging government to rapidly agree a Patient Access Scheme with the manufacturer of Lucentis, Novartis, in order to bring down the cost of the drug to the NHS for treating diabetic macular oedema.
Currently, the drug costs £742.17 per injection.
Steve Winyard from the RNIB said: "We now hope that a patient access scheme can be agreed swiftly, so that patients with diabetic macular oedema are not left to needlessly lose their sight."
A spokeswoman for Novartis said the company would continue to work with NICE and the Department of Health to "ensure appropriate patients are able to receive this very important treatment, which in clinical trials has been shown to double the likelihood of gaining vision and reduce the chance of losing vision by up to three-fold compared to laser treatment".
Novartis believes that NICE did not consult sufficiently with clinical and patient experts on the data it submitted to the appraisal committee.
But Sir Andrew Dillon, Chief Executive at NICE, said the manufacturer significantly underestimated the cost of treatment.
Daniel Griffiths, who was a trainee with Pte Cheryl James at the Surrey barracks, said he saw her being shouted at by Sgt Andrew Gavaghan.
He said the incident happened late in the summer of 1995.
Sgt Gavaghan has previously told the inquest in Woking he did not meet Pte James until the morning of her death on 27 November 1995.
Pte James was found dead near the perimeter fence with a bullet wound to the head.
The 18-year-old from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was one of four recruits to die at the base in seven years.
Mr Griffiths said told the hearing it was quite common for recruits to be upset after being disciplined.
"There was a lot of crying going on, but that was the only time I saw Cheryl cry," he said, adding Pte James would usually laugh at people when they told her off.
Mr Griffiths claimed that one night he saw Sgt Gavaghan shouting loudly at Pte James behind a building at Deepcut.
He thought the location indicated it was something Sgt Gavaghan "didn't want anyone to hear".
Afterwards Pte James wouldn't tell him what the incident was about but, he said, she never told him she was dissatisfied with life in the Army.
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events.
Later, the inquest heard from Lt Col Robert Gascoigne, who commanded Pte James's squadron at Deepcut.
Under cross examination by Alison Foster QC, representing Pte James's family, he accepted life for Deepcut recruits could have been better, but said those in charge did the best they could with limited resources.
The system was "just about fit for purpose", he said.
He had requested more resources, but failed to get them because the Army had other priorities.
Lt Col Gascoigne also told the court he regarded Sgt Gavaghan as a "professional individual doing his job".
He said Sgt Gavaghan was particularly good at welfare issues.
An initial inquest into Pte James's death in 1995 recorded an open verdict but that was overturned by the High Court, which ordered the new hearing.
The inquest was adjourned until Wednesday.
PM Tony Abbott and former leaders Julia Gillard and John Howard were among hundreds at the ceremony in Melbourne.
Tributes were paid to the man who led the nation between 1975 and 1983, propelled to office by a major constitutional crisis.
Peter Nixon, who gave a eulogy, said the country had "lost a unique and great Australian".
Malcolm Fraser became prime minister after the unprecedented dismissal of Gough Whitlam by the governor general over a budget impasse - a move that shocked the nation.
"The only source of hatred for Malcolm was policy issues, not people," said Mr Nixon, who served as a minister in Mr Fraser's government.
"The fact that Gough and Malcolm, who were the leaders in the toughest political contest in the nation's history, came to respect and like each other demonstrates what big men they were."
Mr Fraser was seen as a champion of refugee rights, including the many from Vietnam who arrived after the war.
Members of Melbourne's Vietnamese community gathered outside Scots' Church to pay their respects.
"He means everything to us but mostly freedom for saving us from the refugee camp. It's a very deep loss for our community," Phong Nguyen told Australian media.
Malcolm Fraser died on 20 March, at the age of 84, after a short illness. After Gough Whitlam's dismissal, the Liberal Party leader went on to win three elections.
In office he introduced laws that returned land to Indigenous Australians in the Northern Territory, created Australia's family court and protected a major part of the Great Barrier Reef.
In later years, he became a staunch critic of his own party because of its policies on rights of Indigenous Australians and refugees - eventually leaving the party in 2010.

The Department for Environment said there was moderate to high levels of the pollution, which is caused by traffic fumes and other sources.
Air pollution has also blown in from Europe and Public Health England said the conditions could affect people with lung or heart problems or asthma.
Defra said levels were due to fall to moderate or low levels by Friday.
Smog is formed when pollutants, dust, pollen and other particles that would normally be dispersed by winds are prevented from escaping from the layer of cool air that is trapped at the Earth's surface.
Sotiris Vardoulakis, head of Public Health England's air pollution and climate change group, said: "While most people will not be affected by short term peaks in air pollution - some individuals, particularly vulnerable groups such as those with existing heart or lung conditions, may experience increased symptoms."
According to Defra, south Wales and South West England saw the highest levels of pollution in the UK on Thursday, reaching eight out of 10 on its pollution index.
The West Midlands, Yorkshire and Humber, North East England and Northern Ireland also recorded high levels - graded as seven out of ten on the index.
North-west England, the East Midlands and parts of London had seen moderate levels - six out of 10 - while Scotland had seen low levels of pollution, Defra said.
Deborah Waddell from Asthma UK warned that people with breathing problems needed to be careful.
"We could expect that people today would have more asthma symptoms and every person that has an asthma attack today could have a potentially have a fatal asthma attack so we need them to be vigilant," she said.
Steve Cleaton from the BBC Weather Centre said: "The good news is that air quality is forecast to gradually improve through the course of the remainder of Thursday and throughout Friday.
"Weak weather fronts will cross the country from the northwest introducing clearer Atlantic air."

The firm will reduce rates paid to agencies for offshore and onshore workers by 7.5% from 8 February.
The move will affect about 830 contract workers.
In a statement, Amec Foster Wheeler said it had taken the decision in the face of "challenging times" for the industry.
The oil price has fallen dramatically over the past year, forcing many companies working in the sector to cut costs.
At least 65,000 jobs are estimated to have been lost in the North Sea in little over a year.

Cardiff council has confirmed it is in early talks with the mayor of Bristol to work together on projects, including renewable energy and transport.
Council leader Phil Bale said Cardiff would fall behind if it does not work with a major centre like Bristol.
He said both cities have to recognise they are in competition with other major centres in England.
Mr Bale stressed that by working together the two cities have a much better chance of lobbying the UK government for investment.
However, he denied that the council was turning its back on Welsh devolution or suggesting that developing an economic Cardiff city region covering south east Wales is out of date.
Mr Bale said he believes that different levels of governance are right for different things.
In regards to marketing and transport in Cardiff and Bristol, the councillor said the two cities need to lobby for investment to head west out of London.
"It's really important that we have those conversations (with Bristol) to see where they lead us, but also that we exploit opportunities like the Severn estuary, where there is clear shared opportunity to lobby the UK government."
Asked about the likelihood of there one day being a "super city region" combining Cardiff, Newport and Bristol, the councillor said the idea was a possibility.

The extension, which will add an extra £4m to the final bill, was approved by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The inquiry is examining allegations of child abuse in children's homes and other residential institutions in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995.
It had been due to deliver its final report in January 2016 but has been granted more time due to its workload.
The public inquiry, chaired by retired High Court judge Sir Anthony Hart, is being held in Banbridge courthouse, County Down.
MLAs were told that Sir Anthony made a compelling case for the deadline extension, because of the number of witnesses who have come forward to testify and the amount of allegations he has to investigate.
However, some victims and survivors of institutional abuse have called for an interim report to be published and for compensation payments to begin before the conclusion of the inquiry.
Campaigners said that many victims of institutional abuse are elderly and some died before they were called to testify.
They said more victims may die before they see the final report in January 2017, or have the opportunity to benefit from a redress scheme.
The HIA inquiry was first announced in 2010 and was formally set up by the Office of the First and Deputy First Ministers (OFMDFM) on 31 May 2012.
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt chairs the Stormont committee that scrutinises the work of office.
Speaking in the assembly on Tuesday, Mr Nesbitt asked OFMDFM Junior Minister Jennifer McCann to explain to victims why victims' request for an interim report was unreasonable.
Ms McCann replied that the chairman "wasn't in favour of doing an interim report because he felt it would delay the [final] report coming forward, and I have to say that we have to take on board what Judge Hart says".
It is not the first time MLAs have made changes to the HIA inquiry's timescale.
When it was originally announced in 2010, ministers initially said the public inquiry would examine abuse claims over a 50-year period from 1945 to 1995.
However, in October 2012, its remit was extended to investigate allegations dating back to the foundation of the state in 1922. | The Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry is to run for a year longer than originally planned. | 31,115,870 | 461 | 24 | false |
The company broke ground on its enormous plant in the Nevada desert in April last year - but work halted in October amid reports the company was in dire financial straits.
Speaking on the record for the first time about firm’s money woes, Faraday Future’s senior vice president of research and design, Nick Sampson, acknowledged the company was facing "challenges".
"Clearly something like [CES] requires funding and some resources," Mr Sampson told me.
"We are resource-limited at times. [It's] just a matter of keeping the cash flow balance between the different projects we’re trying to do."
No date has been set for work on the site to recommence.
"Things like [CES] have to take priority at this point in time. We’ll be starting again [on the factory] very shortly," he said.
The company was spinning several financial plates, he argued.
"The challenge of building a new company is that it’s not just doing the engineering and R&D work, we’ve got manufacturing to keep aligned, we’ve also got the whole sales and marketing, branding and imaging.
"It’s a matter of keeping the whole programme aligned."
Faraday Future’s launch was arguably the most extravagant press event at this year’s CES, taking place in a huge venue away from the famous Las Vegas strip. It was attended by the mayor of North Las Vegas, John Lee.
The $1bn plant is being subsidised by around $320m of taxpayer’s money, a deal which has attracted intense criticism, though Mr Lee has insisted the public will not be left out of pocket should Faraday Future pull out of the project.
Little is known about the finances of Faraday Future, other than that its biggest backer is the founder and chief executive of China’s LeEco - a company also embroiled in legal difficulties owing to what suppliers claim are unpaid bills.
Another problem facing Faraday Future, as well as the stalled factory construction, is that several suppliers have begun taking legal action against the firm. Futuris, a company which specialises in luxury car interiors, is suing the firm for breach of contract, demanding immediate payment of more than $10m.
According to a recent report published by Buzzfeed, Faraday Future owes more than $300m.
But that’s typical for a fledgling technology firm, Mr Sampson argued.
"We’ve gone from nothing to where we are today in just over two years," he said.
"Matching the speed of development and building with the inflow of cash doesn’t always match.
"Many companies have had this - Apple and Steve Jobs didn’t always have it easy in its early days. That’s one of the hurdles that we have to get over."
That kind of comparison - to technology pioneers - is something Faraday Future does often.
During its CES presentation, it brought up a timeline of milestones including the invention of the lightbulb and the creation of the world wide web. Faraday Future placed itself at the end of this timeline.
"That to me was stepping too far," remarked Tim Stevens, editor at large of motoring news site Roadshow.
If the company does manage to put its first vehicle into production, Mr Stevens said he still had reason to be cautious.
"I’m expecting this car to be in the range of $150,000, maybe $200,000. Far more expensive even than a Tesla Model X.
"That’s a big ask - if they are talking a low-number, high-margin car, they’ve still got to have a production down pat, and the reliability down pat too. Those are things it's taken Tesla a long time to figure out."
Where Faraday Future doesn’t appear to be struggling is with the car itself. The FF91, shown off for the first time at CES, goes like a rocket - 0-60mph (97km/h) in an alleged 2.39 seconds. Faster, it said, than a Tesla Model S (though Tesla’s chief executive, Elon Musk, disputes the claim).
A test drive also demonstrated the car’s ability to park itself completely autonomously. The company hopes drivers will one day be able to leave their car at the side of the road and ask it to drive off and park using a mobile app - like a robot valet.
However, the technology won’t be a part of daily life any time soon. It will be valet parking "approved by Faraday Future", a test driver told me - a process that will mean adoption across the world will likely be painstakingly slow.
But when it comes to hurdles to leap over, autonomous parking is well down the priority list.
Right now, Faraday Future is a company seemingly operating on a thread.
It is right to acknowledge that getting into the car industry as a brand new player is extremely difficult - which is why so few companies attempt it, and even fewer succeed.
Even behemoths like Apple and Google owner Alphabet have turned their focus more to providing software for established car makers, rather than begin manufacturing themselves.
At CES 2016, when Faraday Future launched a concept car so outlandish it instantly became known as the Batmobile, the company insisted it would defy its critics by 2017.
Has it done that? Partly - there is a car, and it’s rapid.
But building on that achievement and turning it into a mass-produced vehicle and a viable business? By next year?
That seems unfathomably ambitious.

Move a mile or two from the Nice coastline and its marinas, and you find bleak housing estates where disaffected youths of immigrant origin are vulnerable to radical Islam.
In recent years, 55 people are estimated to have left the region for Syria, including 11 members of the same family travelling together in 2014.
In terms of reported cases of radicalisation, the Alpes-Maritimes area is second only to the notorious "93" district north of Paris.
Imene Ouissi, a 22-year-old student who volunteers for a women's group in the town of Vallauris, west of Nice, noticed in 2012 that local youths were becoming fascinated by slick recruitment videos produced by Islamic State.
"It was better than a film. It made them dream," she says. "In gaming you can shoot again and again, but this was real. And you can do that for God! They found it fantastic."
At the same time, self-styled preachers emerged with a message targeted at disaffected Muslim youths. Playing on widespread feelings of resentment about poverty and discrimination, they told their audience that they would always be treated as foreigners in France.
In Vallauris, one charismatic figure pitched up in a high-rise housing estate in 2010. People came from all over the region to hear him preach every Friday until, after three years, the authorities dismantled his makeshift mosque.
"What he said really shook me," Imene Ouissi recalls. "I had gone there because everyone was talking about it. He spoke the language of the kids, so they identified with him. His message was: you must not stay in a land of villains, you will never succeed here. You must go to a Muslim country."
Kamel, a youth worker in the Nice area, says one of the reasons for the recent success of the Salafist ideology that has inspired jihad, is that it provides a ready and easy way of justifying the actions of petty criminals.
"The kids are told that they are in a land of unbelievers, so when they steal and attack people it is justifiable. The petty criminal is turned into a holy warrior, and is promised status, sexual gratification and eternal life."
At a time when identity feeds on a sense of victimhood, past trauma is often used to stoke current tensions. In the Nice area, Algeria's war of independence in the 1950s and early 60s casts a long shadow.
Many former French colonists who were summarily expelled from Algeria settled in Nice. Their political influence and lingering resentment at the French state that let them down are still felt in the strong presence of the far-right National Front there, Kamel says.
Equally, he adds, crimes committed by the French army during the war are increasingly being dredged up by children of Algerian ancestry to nurture a feeling of alienation. "We have competing identities, and people who want to make others pay for the crimes of past generations."
Fatima Khaldi, a councillor for a tough area of north-eastern Nice, is alarmed by the number of young people who define themselves as Moroccan, Algerian, or Tunisian.
"It's worrying to see third, fourth or fifth-generation children who do not feel French. People like me, who are from the second generation, cannot understand that."
Boubekeur Bakri, an imam from the same area, says he became worried about the rise of extremism as early as 2010. By December 2014 he gathered local officials and Muslim leaders in his mosque to sound the alarm.
Three weeks later the attacks against Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket confirmed his fears. He calls radicalism an "open wound" for the Muslim community.
The problem, he says, is that having 40% unemployment "lowers the immunity" of marginalised communities, allowing "microbes" to spread.
Another reason for the prevalence of jihadist ideas in parts of the Riviera hinterland has been the presence of good recruiters. Omar Diaby, a criminal from Nice also known as Omar Oumsen, is believed to have sent about 40 local youths to Syria before settling there himself three years ago.
A few budding jihadists have managed to return to the city. Jean-Francois Fouque is a lawyer for one of them, a troubled youth who went to Syria as part of a group of friends in 2014.
The man witnessed unspeakable violence, including the beheading of one of his fellow French recruits who had complained about IS discipline. He managed to slip out but what he went through will stick with him forever, Mr Fouque says. "He wants others to know. His message is: don't go."
But as word of atrocities in IS territories spreads and border controls are tightened, most observers believe the main danger is no longer departure for Syria - but conducting the holy struggle at home.
Patrick Amoyel, a psychoanalyst who heads "Entr'Autres", a Nice-based association that helps fight radicalisation, stresses that jihad means an effort to reach out to the House of Islam.
Speaking on a glorious afternoon before the Bastille Day celebrations in Nice, he said: "You can either wage Jihad by the tongue and by the mouth - that is ideological jihad - or by the hand and the sword. Those are the official categories of jihad.
"And jihad by the hand and the sword can be done here in France with cars and knives."
Unsurprisingly, the traditional sporting powerhouses of Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and Canada joined England and, to a certain extent, the other home nations in the upper echelons of the medals table.
But hang on, we thought, isn't this all a bit unfair on the smaller nations? How on earth, for example, is it realistic to compare a tiny Caribbean island with India, for example, when the latter has more than a billion people from which they can select their teams?
So we did a lot of number crunching and produced a population-adjusted medals table.
We should point out that while traditional medals tables rank each country first by the number of gold medals, then silvers and then finally bronzes, we decided to factor in their relative worth by awarding three, two and one points respectively.
This produces something we are calling "medal points".
Our alternative league table is calculated by dividing each nation's population (an average worked out by examining the population in each Commonwealth Games year between 1990 and 2010) by medal points.
Nauru - a tiny and remote Pacific island which has a population of less than 10,000 - was the surprise winner.
A large portion of the credit for that must go to Marcus Stephen, who claimed seven golds and five silvers in four Commonwealth Games between 1990 and 2002.

The weightlifter, who despite standing only 5ft 3in (160cm) tall and tipping the scales at less than 9st 10lb (62kg) during his competition days, managed to lift 172kg - nearly three times his own weight and only 3kg off the then world record.
A more detailed population-adjusted league table reveals that the hugely populous South Asian giants of Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh did pretty poorly, ranked 38th, 39th, 42nd and 43rd respectively, while Kenya (27th), South Africa (28th), and Nigeria (34th) also struggled.
When it came to the nations and territories of the British Isles, the results were equally interesting.
England fans no longer had the bragging rights - their country instantly went from top of the pile to bottom of the heap.
So that was how things have traditionally been - but is the picture any different at the Games which ended on Sunday?
This is how the top of the Glasgow 2014 medals table looks - and it is dominated by the usual sporting giants:
What about the other teams from around the British Isles?
That's all well and good, but what happens once populations are again taken into account?
So although there are honourable mentions for Grenada (who won a gold and a bronze thanks to Kirani James in the men's 400m and decathlete Kurt Felix) and Pacific island nation Kiribati (giant weightlifter David Katoatau won gold before memorably busting some moves as if he was on the dancefloor) we're left with a familiar name as the winner of BBC Sport's alternative medals table - Nauru.
The island - which only takes 20 minutes to drive around and has been covered with thousands of years' worth of bird droppings - only had a 10-strong team but continued their fine weightlifting tradition in Glasgow.
Itte Detenamo took silver in the men's +105kg division to maintain Nauru's record of having won at least one medal at each of the seven Commonwealth Games they have entered since making their bow back in 1990.
And, being the world's smallest republic, they are likely to be top of the tree in future Commonwealth Games and Olympics.
Let's take a look at how the British Isles' biggest four Commonwealth Games teams fared in Glasgow, along with some selected others.
Some cheer, then, for hosts Scotland, who won the battle of the Celtic nations between them, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Despite handsomely winning the conventional medals table, our research suggests England has actually punched below its weight, and that, relatively speaking, the Scots have been three times as successful.
With the 2016 Rio Olympics in mind (notwithstanding any constitutional implications of next month's Scottish independence referendum) the UK will again come together as Team GB.
The UK population currently stands at 64.1 million - a year-on-year increase of around 400,000.
For want of argument, let's assume it increases by a similar number in each of the next two years, making a rough total of 65 million in 2016 compared with Nauru's 10,000.
In Rio, Team GB would therefore have to win (an utterly impossible, of course) 2,167 golds to trump a single Nauruan bronze medal in order to finish higher than them in our population-weighted table.
School governors must ensure that deals allow parents to get good value for money, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has said.
Complaints from parents have prompted the CMA to write an open letter to governors and suppliers in England.
It has the power to fine suppliers if they are found to be anti-competitive.
The CMA said there was no intention to take any legal action at this stage, but it has joined forces with various associations to call on schools and suppliers to review their agreements.
The Schoolwear Association, which represents suppliers, said that exclusive deals often ensured that uniforms of good quality were available in all sizes.
The authority said that exclusive deals could mean parents were not getting value for money, with "strong evidence" that they had increased prices.
"Buying school uniforms can be very expensive and particularly hits low-income families and those with a number of children, so it is important parents and carers are able to shop around," said Ann Pope, senior director at the CMA.
"We will continue monitoring the sector and will consider taking enforcement action, if it is necessary."
The move follows a review of school uniform costs in 2012 which found:
The Children's Society said that many parents were being prevented from buying cheaper school clothing from supermarkets.
"School uniform costs can be a millstone around the necks of poorer parents, contributing to a cycle of debt and damaging the opportunities and well-being of lower income pupils," said Sam Royston, director of policy at the society.
The National Governors' Association said schools should do all they could to keep costs to a minimum.
Guidance for schools in England set by the Department for Education says that schools and governing bodies should ensure parents are getting good value for money.
The Schoolwear Association said it was keen to work with the CMA.
"There are some benefits to sole supplier arrangements, particularly because a single supplier is dedicated to the school and required to stock uniform all year round in all sizes," said the association's chairman, David Burgess.
"When there are two or more suppliers, that sense of duty diminishes, and the school has less power to demand best value and service levels. If a school decides on a sole supplier arrangement, we strongly recommend periodically putting contracts out to tender where quotations can be compared on quality, service levels, year-round stocking, ethical sourcing and price."
He added that suppliers were often local and independent and that they considered quality and sustainability.
"We are anxious that the focus on school uniform should not be solely on price at the expense of poorer quality. We should remember that children spend an average of 10 hours a day in their uniform, so comfort and durability are vital," he said.
The association has called on the government to remove VAT from school uniforms and introduce a voucher scheme, similar to childcare vouchers, to assist parents with the cost.
The announcement comes after the force was told by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) in November that it "requires improvement".
Ms Curran, who was due to retire in September 2018, said the "time is right" to now leave.
Last May, Police and Crime Commissioner Keith Hunter gave her six months to convince him "that there is a plan".
Mr Hunter said: "It is a mark of her commitment to Humberside Police and the public it serves that she has agreed to make way for a new chief constable who can tackle the continuing challenges the force faces, including those identified by HMIC in their reports over the last few years.
"As police and crime commissioner, I wish her well and thank her for her service to the force."
Ms Curran, who was appointed as the force's first female chief constable in 2013, said: "It was not an easy decision to leave something that I am passionate about and have given huge commitment to.
"I am proud of the significant impact we have achieved, working every day to make Humberside safer and stronger. Humberside remains a very safe place to live, work and visit.
"However, I feel the time is right for the next chapter and having discussed this with the police and crime commissioner, who is about to launch the new Police and Crime Plan, I feel it is time to pass on the baton and let someone else lead the force to deliver the aims of this plan."
She added: "I would like to thank my colleagues past and present, officers and staff for their commitment and support."
Deputy Chief Constable Garry Forsyth has been appointed as the new interim boss.
Sheffield-born Ms Curran served as an officer in the Greater Manchester and Merseyside forces, before becoming Tayside chief in 2009.
No financial settlement had been made for her early retirement.
A Facebook album uploaded to the ministry's official page featured a photograph of Minister of State Teo Ser Luck lying on a worker's dormitory bed.
It was accompanied by the caption: "I learnt that some workers prefer to sleep without a mattress as they are used to it back in their home country".
Mr Teo denied making that comment when contacted by the BBC.
In a later statement the ministry said an administrator wrote the caption, not Mr Teo.
The statement issued on behalf of the Ministry of Manpower said the caption would be removed and a clarification issued.
"We regret the unintended implications, and any misunderstanding that the post has caused," the statement said.
It said Mr Teo had visited the dormitory to mark International Migrants Day, and that it was "unfortunate" that the visit "was over-shadowed by this turn of events".
Singapore is home to hundreds of thousands of foreign workers brought in to work in the shipping and construction industries, jobs that not many Singaporeans are eager to take on.
Employers provide accommodation for migrant workers, however, advocacy groups have raised concern over their living conditions which can be crowded and unsanitary.
The post has drawn criticism among the country's vocal online community.
While some Facebook users defended the caption, others criticised Mr Teo for being "insensitive and condescending".
"Is your head so far up the ivory tower? Our politicians really need to reflect on how far out of touch they are with reality," said Facebook user Johnny Tang.
Jeff Chua suggested that most foreign workers made the choice to sleep without mattresses because of "bed bug infestations" in dormitories.
A Facebook user criticised Mr Teo for his "million dollar salary" and using "migrant workers as a photo opportunity".
The most popular comment on the post however, came from Ibrahim Khalil, a foreign construction worker in Singapore.
"In our own homes, we sleep with mattresses. But in Singapore, it is due to the hot weather in our rooms, with (up to) 12 people. Sometimes dormitory management don't allow for more than two fans in the rooms," he said, adding that migrant workers like himself would be happier if they received a "more comfortable dormitory life".
Many of Singapore's politicians, including Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, maintain an active social media presence and are popular with internet users.
However, Mr Teo is not the first to have been criticised by some over what seemed like an insensitive post.
Minister Tan Chuan-Jin faced negative comments after he suggested in a Facebook post that some elderly people who collect cardboard as a way of making money, were doing it as a "form of exercise and activity".
Another politician Baey Yam Keng drew outrage after he condemned the Paris terror attacks in November by uploading a photo of himself standing next to the Eiffel Tower which some users thought was doctored - although he denied this.
Taylor shot home at the far post from Cristian Montano's cross just after the hour mark.
But, it took an outstanding Steve Mildenhall save from a late Lee Collins shot to ensure a win that moves Rovers to within three points of third place.
The game was Darrell Clarke's 100th in charge of Rovers.
The first Israeli PM to visit Australia, Mr Netanyahu had earlier criticised Mr Rudd for saying Australia should recognise a Palestinian state.
In a scathing Facebook post, Mr Rudd said the Israeli leader sabotaged US peace talks "by changing the goalposts" often at "five minutes to midnight".
Mr Netanyahu has yet to respond.
But he dismissed Mr Rudd's earlier call for Australia to recognise a Palestinian state, saying it would be a state that "calls for Israel's destruction".
The Israeli leader is in the middle of a four-day visit to Australia, with current Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull as his host.
Mr Turnbull called Israel a "miraculous nation" in a warm meeting with Mr Netanyahu on Wednesday. Mr Netanyahu thanked Australia for defending his nation against UN resolutions.
The tone struck by Mr Rudd in his Facebook post was a marked contrast.
Mr Rudd said he was a life-long supporter of Israel and had publicly campaigned against anti-Semitism. But he added that "to support the state of Israel does not mandate automatic support for each and every policy of Mr Netanyahu".
"The boundaries, internal security, external security, public finance and governance of a Palestinian state have been elaborated in detail in multiple negotiations with the US under the Clinton, Bush and Obama Administrations, most recently in the Kerry Plan," Mr Rudd wrote.
"Mr Netanyahu knows these formulations like the back of his hand. Mr Netanyahu also knows he has torpedoed each of them, often at five minutes to midnight, often by changing the goalposts, to the enduring frustration of both Republican and Democrat Administrations."
The former prime minister also referred to a diplomatic incident in 2010 where four forged Australian passports were used in the murder of a Hamas operative in Dubai.
Mr Rudd's government expelled an Israeli diplomat over the affair. "No apology has ever been received for that action," he said.
A rally protesting against the Mr Netanyahu's visit is expected to be held in Sydney on Thursday night.

The incident happened at about 17:20 on Friday at a newsagents on the corner of South Trinity Road and Cargil Terrace.
Two men entered A&A Stores and demanded money, before attacking the shopkeeper and then running from the scene empty-handed.
Police described it as "a cowardly attack". The shopkeeper's injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Officers are hunting for the two suspects, who were last seen running along Cargil Terrace.
The first is described as being 20 to 25 years old, of medium build, with a pale complexion and unshaven.
The second man is described as 35 to 40 years old, of slim build, with a pale complexion and gaunt features. He was also unshaven.
Both suspects were wearing dark clothing and dark woollen beanie hats. One was wearing a dark body warmer.
Det Sgt Todd Rutherford said: "This was a cowardly attack, and the shopkeeper bravely fought off the attackers despite a shocking level of violence and the serious injuries he sustained.
"At the time of the incident, it is likely there would have been pedestrians and drivers in the Cargill Terrace area and we know the suspects were loitering nearby the shop before the incident took place.
"If anyone has seen these men before, during or after the attack, please contact us."
St Albans City and District Council revealed the £8.1m city centre hotel was used to help deal with a rise in the number of people needing temporary places to stay.
A council officer said the Premier Inn, which opened last year, was only used when cheaper hotels were not available.
The council said it amounted to 52 nights.
The amount spent by the Conservative-run local authority on temporary bed and breakfast accommodation is £120,000 so far this financial year, compared to £10,419 in 2012-13 and £34,000 in 2013-14.
The figure was revealed during a full council meeting.
Labour councillor Dreda Gordon said "putting people in hotels isn't the answer".
"When Premier Inn was going through planning, people weren't talking about it being used by the council for temporary accommodation," she said
"It isn't good enough. We should be providing more housing."
Liberal Democrat councillor Chris White said: "We have to find a way to eliminate that cost. We shouldn't have to use Premier Inn."
The council said it used a range of accommodation, including bed and breakfasts, usually costing £45-£90 a night.
Karen Dragovic, the council's head of housing, said the Premier Inn was at the "higher end of the [price] spectrum" and it was used "when other alternatives have been exhausted".
"The number of households in temporary housing rose from 97 in January 2014 to 120 in December," she said.
"We have a duty to house people who meet the homeless criteria.
"With limited housing stock available, there is a very long waiting list for homes."
A Premier Inn spokeswoman said she could not comment as "we have no record of homeless people staying here".
Althea Efunshile, the only non-white candidate put forward by the broadcasting regulator, was rejected by culture secretary Karen Bradley.
The other four proposed candidates, all white males, were approved.
Last week Prime Minister Theresa May faced questions in Parliament over why the only BAME candidate was vetoed.
A group of more than 50 MPs also wrote to Mrs Bradley to request an explanation.
In response, Mrs Bradley said she was "in full agreement in the need to ensure our public institutions and appointments represent and reflect modern Britain".
She added: "I do, however, firmly reject any suggestion that female or BAME [Black, Asian and minority ethnic] candidates are treated unfairly in our public appointment decisions."
Karen Bradley, MP for Staffordshire Moorlands, was appointed Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in July.
A DCMS spokesman said she had "approved four candidates on the basis that they met the specific skills and experiences set out in Ofcom's advertised job descriptions".
Althea Efunshile, who left Arts Council England this year, was made a CBE in June for services to arts and culture.
The former secondary school teacher joined the Arts Council as chief operating officer in 2007 and was appointed its deputy chief executive in 2012.
Channel 4's chief executive David Abraham said: "When combined with the many detailed issues they have raised with us over more than a year, this amounts to a worrying and unprecedented level of government interference."

Few world leaders can resist the siren lure of all that royal bling: horse-drawn coaches, state banquets, processions down the Mall, the sheer scale of all that gold leaf and pomp and flummery that allows them a brief window into a royal fantasy that many countries envy but can rarely match.
This weapon is deployed sparingly, normally no more than twice a year. But it does get used.
If Donald Trump does touch down for a little red carpet treatment later this year, it will be the 110th time the Queen has welcomed another head of state to these shores in her reign.
And for now, despite the protests and growing online petition, Downing Street is continuing to stand firm, insisting that the invitation to the president stands.
So state visits are not merely ceremonial affairs, they are political and purposeful. They are used by the British government of the day to further what they see as Britain's national interests.
In 1973, the Queen welcomed President Mobutu of what was then called Zaire in Africa, now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He was a brutal, corrupt dictator but he was also seen as a vital anti-communist ally in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. So he got an invite to the Palace.
President Suharto of Indonesia, another repressive leader who happened to be anti-communist, was also granted a state visit in 1979 for the same reasons.
In 1971, Emperor Hirohito of Japan was welcomed by the Queen for a state visit as a deliberate attempt to help usher the country back into the family of nations after its post-war isolation.
Not surprisingly, the invitation of the man who had led Japan during World War Two was hugely controversial, and many former army veterans and prisoners of war turned their backs on the royal procession in silent protest.
Some wore red gloves to symbolise the blood they saw as being on his hands while others whistled ribald old army tunes. A tree the Emperor had planted was uprooted.
In 1978, Nicolae Ceausescu, the notorious Romanian communist leader, and his wife Elena were given a state visit in the vain hope that they might be encouraged to introduce some pro-Western reforms.
The Queen was so repulsed by them that, according to the royal author Robert Hardman, while out walking her dogs, she hid behind a bush in the Palace gardens to avoid bumping into the couple who were also out strolling. More than a decade later both Ceausescu and his wife were executed by a revolutionary firing squad.
And even the most uncontroversial of state visits, that of President Mandela in 1996, was not without political purpose.
There was a feeling in the Foreign Office that South Africa was beginning to slip away from the West towards the unaligned nations, and they wanted to hug Madiba close and remind his country of Britain's anti-apartheid credentials.
More recently, in 2014, the state visit of the Irish president to Britain was used as another step of reconciliation.
Martin McGuiness, the former Northern Ireland deputy first minister and former IRA leader, not only put on white tie and tails for a state banquet at Windsor Castle, but he also stood for a toast to the Queen.
And the state visit of President Xi in 2015 was a deliberate attempt by George Osborne, the then Chancellor, to curry favour with the Chinese and boost British trade links.
As for American presidents, only two have been granted full state visits during the current Queen's reign: President Bush in 2003 and President Obama in 2011.
What is unusual is the speed with which Mr Trump has been issued with an invitation for a state visit, just days into his presidency.
Both Messrs Bush and Obama had to wait until well into their terms of office before they got the call.
The haste reflects the importance the prime minister places on securing a good relationship with the new president and winning a post-Brexit trade deal, even if there is some political cost.
Mr Bush's visit was by no means uncontroversial, coming so soon after the beginning of the Iraq war.
There were demonstrations throughout the trip, including one involving tens of thousands in central London when an effigy of the president was toppled over in a parody of events in Baghdad.
So the Queen may be above politics but state visits are not.
They are used for diplomacy and are often controversial. And whatever protests may surround any Trump state visit, the Queen will have seen it all before. Rarely has she shown herself unable to cope with whomsoever the government brings round for tea.
As one royal insider told me dryly: "She does have some experience in these matters."
Or as former foreign secretary William Hague wrote more bluntly in the Telegraph this morning, "A Queen who has been asked over the decades to host tyrants such as Presidents Mobutu of Zaire and Ceausescu of Romania is going to take a brash billionaire from New York effortlessly in her stride."
Hallett, 29, has been the Championship side's top points scorer for each of the past three seasons.
Promising players Laurence May, also a stand-off, and prop Tyler Gendall, both aged 20, have also signed new deals.
"Kieran is a guy on top of the Championship outside-half tree," said director of rugby Ian Davies.
"Laurence and Tyler are both rewarded for cracking first seasons with us. All three have made significant contributions this season and I look forward to further helping them achieve their rugby ambitions."
May, who has been dual-registered with Exeter Chiefs during much of this season, has also played at full-back.
Gendall, a member of the club's Player Development Foundation, made a major impression early this season before suffering a knee injury. He is expected back to full fitness for the start of the 2015-16 campaign.
What was it?
A decades-old government policy in China that limited many families to only one child, though exceptions were made. The one-child policy is estimated by the Chinese government to have prevented about 400m births since it began but this number is contested.
By 2007, China claimed that only 36% of its citizens were limited to one child due to various changes to the policy over time.
Why was it introduced?
As China's population approached one billion in the late 1970s, the government became concerned about what effect this would have on its ambitious plans for economic growth.
Although other family planning programs had already been implemented, helping to reduce the birth rate, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping decided stronger action was needed. The policy was introduced in 1979.
How was it enforced?
The government generally enforced it by providing financial and employment incentives to those who complied, making contraceptives widely available and fining those who violated the rules.
More coercive measures such as forced abortions and mass sterilisations were also used at times.
The policy was more strictly implemented in urban areas.
Why was it so controversial?
Campaigners in China and in the West argued the policy was a gross violation of human rights and reproductive freedoms.
Rich families who could afford to pay fines were also able to get around the restrictions.
The traditional preference for male children together with the one-child policy led to large numbers of girls being abandoned, placed in orphanages, sex-selective abortions or even cases of female infanticide.
China's gender balance is skewed towards males as a result of this.
Why is it now being abandoned?
Experts warn that China will be the first economy to grow old before it gets rich largely due to the one-child policy. By 2050, more than a quarter of the population will be over 65.
The country's fertility rate is one of the lowest in the world and well below the rate of 2.1 children per woman required to replace the population across generations.
China's ageing population will slow down the economy as the pool of young workers decreases and the ratio between taxpayers and pensioners continues to drop.
How had the rules previously been relaxed?
In 2013, the rules were changed to allow couples to have a second child if one parent is an only child but fewer couples than the government had expected began doing so.
A previous relaxation of the rules in the 1980s allowed rural families to have another child if their first child was a girl. Ethnic minorities in China were not subject to the one-child policy.
What has really changed?
Rights activists and campaigners point out that the one-child policy has simply become a two-child policy, with China still controlling women's reproductive rights.
Amnesty International said women will remain at risk of coerced or forced abortions, and "intrusive forms of contraception" to implement the new policy.
When will the changes take effect?
According to the Xinhua news agency, the policy change will have to be approved by the top legislature before coming into effect. It is unknown when this will happen but the approval is regarded as a formality.
A murder inquiry is under way after Brian McKandie was found at Fairview Cottages in Badenscoth, Rothienorman, on Saturday 12 March.
Two men were reportedly seen speaking to him on the Friday beforehand.
His family said in a statement issued by Police Scotland: "We have been shocked by the recent events".
The statement said: "Brian was a dearly beloved brother of William, Margaret and the late Elizabeth, brother-in-law, uncle and friend to many.
"He was a genial sort of chap with a dry sense of humour. He was hard-working and very dedicated to his business."
Det Ch Insp Iain Smith, of Police Scotland, said: "We believe Mr McKandie was assaulted within his home between the evening of Friday 11 March and Saturday 12 March and we are urging anyone who may have spoken to him to come forward.
"Understandably, Mr McKandie's family and friends are devastated by his death and it is vital we piece together the events that led up to this horrific crime and the motive for such an attack."
The 23-year-old, who joined from Hartlepool in January 2014, has also been named as Posh's new club captain.
Baldwin scored once in 29 appearances in 2016-17 as Peterborough finished 11th in the third tier.
"Jack is a leader, he is determined, has a will to win and I think he will prove to be an excellent skipper," said manager Grant McCann.
Chinese families said they would pray for the return of their loved ones, adding that they just wanted to know the truth of how the jet disappeared.
The authorities promised to carry on searching for the plane.
Crews have been scouring vast areas of ocean since the jet vanished on 8 March en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. So far, no trace has been found.
They believe the jet ended its journey in the Indian Ocean, hundreds of miles north-west of the Australian city of Perth.
A total of 239 passengers were on board, most of them Chinese.
Relatives of the missing gathered in Beijing on Sunday to pray for their loved ones.
Dai Suqin, whose sister was on board the plane, said there was "no where to turn to for help anymore".
"We still have not seen our family members, we are not sure about the information and have no idea what to do," she said.
"So we have to pray to Buddha, pray to the Goddess of Mercy for blessings. We have to place our hopes on this and pray for the heavens to help us."
A Malaysia Airlines official said it had been the "longest and most painful 100 days" in the company's history.
"We miss our colleagues and friends on board MH370 and we continue to hope and seek answers that will bring us closer to finding out what happened to MH370," said company chief Ahmad Jauhari.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was among the other officials expressing sympathy with the families on Sunday.
He tweeted: "On this hundredth day since MH370 went missing, remembering those on board and their families. Malaysia remains committed to the search effort."
Tithe Barn Trust aims to raise £250,000 in order to restore the building in Landbeach, Cambridgeshire.
Owner South Cambridgeshire District Council has agreed "in principle" to transfer responsibility for its upkeep to the trust.
The council estimates the early 16th Century barn needs at least £80,000 to be spent on "urgent" repairs.
Tithe Barn Trust working group chairman James Hockney said the restored barn would be used for community events.
He said: "It's an important part of Tudor history - the barn's the only one of its type with its existing brick floor."
Mr Hockney said the trust has "already received £55,000 in anonymous donations" and has set up a friends group.
The building has been owned by the council since 1986 and leased to the Landbeach Society since 1975.
The council said it could not longer afford to maintain it and if villagers did not come up with a way of keeping it in public ownership, the barn would be sold for conversion into a house.
Al Hasawi claims he has spent £122m since buying Forest in 2012, but has been widely criticised after a sale to a US consortium fell through last week.
The Reds are managerless, without a chief executive and just five points above the Championship relegation zone.
"I will let actions talk better than words," he told BBC Nottingham Sport.
"At the moment I am not going to sell the club. I would like to focus on the club, and I would like to build a structure and put the right people in the club.
"People will think that I am lying or just saying things that will not happen. I can say many things, but at the moment we are putting this in the right way to build the structure."
Many supporters have become increasingly angry and disillusioned with the Al Hasawi reign, which has seen the club fail to pay bills on time, be placed under transfer embargo and part company with seven permanent managers.
Last week's 1-0 home win over Bristol City was their first win in eight matches, but was played against a backdrop of unrest as fans protested against the Forest owner.
"I [have] spent over £122m for Nottingham Forest, from the time I bought the club to now," Al Hasawi added.
"Every single month I put between £2.5-£2.8m of my money into the club.
"People ask where is the money for Oliver Burke and Henri Lansbury. People think that I put the money in my pocket. All of it is in the club.
"I am not a thief. I build everything from before. I bought Nottingham Forest and I invest lots of money."
Academy director Gary Brazil is in interim charge of the Reds following the sacking of Philippe Montanier on 14 January.
Al Hasawi, who first looked to sell the club to Greek businessman Evangelos Marinakis in the summer, said he is talking to potential new managers and said the deal with the US consortium led by John Jay Moores is now "finished".
He said he was now determined to get things right.
"I spoke to many people who love the club and know me very well," he said. "We are trying hard to put the structure for the club again.
"Because I was committed with the buyers I cannot do anything, say anything or pick managers of players unless I go to the buyers. Now there is no buyer. Now it is Fawaz on his own.
"I would like to keep the club and would like to keep Nottingham Forest, and I would like to get the club in the Premier League; it would be like a dream for me."
Police said the Ford Fiesta struck the woman when the vehicle moved away from the lights at the junction of Charlotte Square and Rose Street at about 19:30 on Sunday.
Officers were keen to speak to the driver of a green BMW which was also at the traffic lights.
They urged anyone who had witnessed the incident to contact the police.
The injured woman was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
Sgt Ross Drummond said: "We are urging anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward and help with police enquiries.
"We are particularly keen to speak to the driver of the green BMW, who was present at the same lights when the incident took place."
Steven Naismith gave the visitors the lead against his former club with a fortuitous finish that looped in after the striker slipped while shooting.
City's Alex Pritchard cleared an Enner Valencia shot off the line before Josh Murphy scored a decisive second with a superb rising drive from distance.
The defeat is Ronald Koeman's first as Everton manager.
The Dutchman made six changes to the team that beat Middlesbrough 3-1 at the weekend to take the Toffees up to second in the Premier League, but his starting XI still had plenty of ability and experience.
Only Robbie Brady remained from the Norwich team that beat Nottingham Forest at the weekend, and they were forced on the back foot for much of the game.
However, while the Toffees wasted the chances that came their way Norwich seized theirs, be it through a slice of luck - in the case of Naismith - or via the superb execution of Murphy.
The Canaries' victory is their first at Goodison Park since September 1993, when Efan Ekoku scored four times in a 5-1 win.
The result was also a measure of revenge for Alex Neil's team, who were beaten on penalties at Goodison Park in the fourth round of this competition last season.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman: "Of course I'm not happy about the result, because in cup football you don't get a second chance, but we did everything to score.
"Norwich had a bit of luck for their first and we did not have that luck.
"We're happy with the league but disappointed with this. From tomorrow we need to prepare for Bournemouth. It's no reason to stay down."
Norwich manager Alex Neil: "To a man, everyone was fantastic. They gave everything.
"We wanted to win the game. We came with a method which the players carried out perfectly."

She was walking along the coast with another girl and two boys on Monday evening when a rapid tide came in.
The three others managed to swim to safety, but she became trapped by the tide and had to be lifted off the cliff by rope.
The two girls were taken to hospital as a precaution.
Coleraine and Ballycastle rescue teams, Portrush lifeboats and RNLI lifeguards from the beach at Castlerock were called.
Chris Little from the Coleraine Coastguard rescue team said it was a "major operation".
He said a rope technician had to be lowered 100 ft to lift the girl from her position at the base of the cliff. The girl was exhausted and was suffering from hypothermia. She was lifted to safety and reunited with her parents.
"The second girl had managed to swim ashore and she turned up at a member of the public's door," Mr Little said.
"She was given assistance and that person raised the alarm as well.
"We also located two teenage boys who had managed to make their own way across the rocks.
"The one casualty who was trapped at the base of the cliff was given immediate assistance by two members of the RNLI who went ashore but, unfortunately. she was too hypothermic and tired from having tried to swim to safety herself to be evacuated by sea."
Mr Little said the two girls were taken to hospital as a precaution.
Mohammed Alfrouh, 20, Omar Badreddin, 18, and Mohammed Allakkoud, 18, of Newcastle, were cleared of all charges at Newcastle Crown Court.
Mr Badreddin was cleared of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old in Leazes Park, Newcastle, in May.
Mr Alfrouh was cleared of three counts of sexual assault and Mr Allakkoud of a single charge of sexual assault.
Mr Alfrouh was accused of kissing one girl in the park on two consecutive nights, and of also molesting a girl Mr Badreddin was accused of kissing behind a pavilion.
The 18-year-old insisted he did not know she was 14.
Mr Allakkuod was accused by one of the girls of holding her mouth and nose while she was attacked.
During the two-week trial defence barristers applied for the case to be thrown out, but it can now be reported.
They said that there were inconsistencies in the complainants' evidence to police, to the court and in cross-examination.
The three Syrians who came to the UK after fleeing the civil war wept in the dock after they were cleared.
Mr Badreddin came to the UK from Jordan as part of a commitment by former Prime Minister David Cameron to allow 20,000 Syrian refugees to live in Britain.
His family were being filmed by a BBC Newsnight team when the events unfolded. His older brother died in Syria and he left school at 14 to provide for his family.
Outside court a spokesman for the defendants said: "They came from Syria to live in peace - no trouble.
"They believe the judge is fair. This is a free country, it is not like Syria."
Ch Insp Steve Ammari said: "We thank the complainants for their support and help throughout."
When the jury forewoman rose to deliver their verdicts, she turned and looked at each defendant before clearly stating "not guilty". The relief in the dock was palpable.
The trial lasted more than two weeks. None of the men speak English and when they were arrested, an interpreter translated their police interviews. But in court it transpired that there were significant errors in what had been communicated. Halfway through the case, the defence barristers applied for it to be thrown out.
Omar Badreddin's father, Marwan, in the public gallery, began to cry when he heard the verdict. But when I walked into the Badreddin's home this afternoon, there was little celebration - and the tears they shed were not of joy.
The family told me ever since their son's arrest, they have felt humiliated and dishonoured, even though they were certain their son was innocent. In Syrian culture, this type of accusation is so damaging to their reputation, that even though Omar Badreddin has been cleared, they fear the stigma of it will stick.

The 1994-95 Premier League champions were relegated on goal difference despite a 3-1 victory at Brentford.
Venky's released a statement on Monday saying they are "deeply hurt", adding: "We share the same feelings as our supporters."
Meanwhile, director of football and operations Paul Senior has resigned.
Senior had only been in the role since January and his departure was confirmed on Monday.
The club statement went on to say that they were confident Mowbray would guide the club back up to the Championship next season.
The statement continued: "We have all witnessed the events of recent years, where teams have been relegated but have turned their clubs around and emerged stronger, and we are determined to see Blackburn Rovers do the same.
"Work has already begun to make this happen and we will be making every effort during the forthcoming season to give ourselves the best chance to achieve this goal."

Meanwhile, Blackburn's former striker Kevin Gallacher says the Venky's need to "wake up" following the club's relegation.
Ex-Scotland international Gallacher told BBC Radio 5 live: "They have not understood football, they've not understood the people of Blackburn,
"When you sell your best assets in trying to stay financially secure, they forget about where football clubs are built and that is on the grass.
"It proved this term that they weren't good enough on the grass to sustain the business and this is what has happened."
Blackburn's Indian owners Venky's, run by the Rao family, took over in 2010 and sacked Sam Allardyce as manager within their first month at the helm.
Fans have continued to protest against the owners this season, while the club's most recent accounts showed debts of more than £106m.
Mowbray took over from Owen Coyle as manager in February, with the latter having spent £250,000 of the £10m he recouped in the transfer market.
"The managers are only as good as the players that they are getting but the past three managers - Tony Mowbray, Paul Lambert and Owen Coyle - have had hands tied and promises of finances to spend regarding transfer windows," added Gallacher, who played for Blackburn between 1993 and 1999.
"Those promises were broken and saw Paul Lambert walk away from the football club and Owen Coyle struggle.
"Tony Mowbray had a good 15-game stint to try to save Blackburn. In any other given season, the points tally he took would have saved them from relegation, but it wasn't to be.
"You look at the team now and think 'where is the investment in the players' because they are a League One side now.
"It is going to be very difficult for the owners but, hopefully, they'll wake up and something can happen very quickly."
BBC Radio Lancashire commentator Andy Bayes
I don't know the owners at all. I have tried - believe me!
The last time I spoke to them was when Sam Allardyce left in 2010. That's not through my choice. The only statement the fans want is to see is them leave.
I have not seen or heard any evidence to suggest the ownership will change.
The analogy that the players didn't care is not an accurate one. I stood next to several of them at Brentford on Sunday and it was etched on their faces what had happened.
I hope the club bounces back, but it will be tough.
Mowbray, whose side went down with 51 points, says player recruitment will be "paramount" during the summer as Blackburn look to build for a season in League One.
The 53-year-old former Coventry, Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion manager won five of his 15 games in charge after taking over in February.
"Recruitment is the currency of a football club," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"If you bring in good players, you win matches. If you bring in poor players, you lose matches and will find yourself in the wrong situation.
"We are starting from scratch. We didn't know which league we would be in.
"At League One level, we should be really competitive salary-wise, but footballers of a certain quality don't want to play in League One."
Full council set Ceredigion's second homes council tax rate at 25% from April 2017, and agreed to allocate the money back to communities via town and community councils.
But opposition councillors are worried some of money will be diverted away.
The council said a group is being set up to discuss options.
A workshop was recently held for councillors to discuss how the funds raised from the second homes council tax would be distributed.
Gethin James is a councillor for Aberporth.
He said the reason he backed the recommendation last March was the money "would come back to the community council to spend on the community".
"It's been 10 months since that decision was taken and nobody from the county council has written to the town or community councils to tell them of the decision," he said.
Mr James attended the workshop and said: "The leader started talking about Growing Mid Wales [a community group] and that she wants to change the decision of the council and put the money into a joint project between us and Powys."
Councillor Gill Hopley said seconds homes have a "detrimental effect" on communities like New Quay, which she represents.
"We haven't got youngsters with families coming to live here," she said.
She said the community runs the museum, library and memorial hall and the money from second homes would allow them to develop further.
Ms Hopley said she "strongly believed" the money should still "come back to the communities that need it".
Ceredigion council confirmed a workshop was held to "discuss the methodology for distributing funds, and making the best use of money".
In a statement, the council said: "It was agreed that a task and finish group should be established to discuss options and provide recommendations to the council about the best way of distributing money in a legal and transparent manner."
Higuain, 28, signed a five-year deal on Tuesday to complete the third most expensive transfer of all time.
The Argentina international said: "Now I need to show to them that I am worth the money they paid for me.
"What can you say about Juventus, they are known all over the world. It is a great team that has it all to gain."
Higuain won the Capocannoniere - Serie A's golden boot - last season after scoring a league record-equalling 36 goals as Napoli finished runners-up to his new club.
His departure angered Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis, who called Higuain's exit "a betrayal".
The former Real Madrid forward has defended his decision to join the Bianconeri.
"Relations with him [De Laurentiis] never went well because his way of thinking is at odds with my way of thinking," added Higuain.
"I chose to join Juventus but he pushed me to do it. Now, I'm really happy I did and I want to thank Juventus for the effort they made to come and get me."
It is why he was such an effective advocate for Leave during the referendum. And it is why the prime minister will use him to sell the Brexit deal when eventually it is struck.
So it will have come as no surprise to Mr Johnson to have attracted the attention this week of the actor Ewan McGregor - even if he might not have appreciated why.
The star of Trainspotting and Star Wars, who has one million Twitter followers, used his social media account to criticise the foreign secretary for offering "an impossible Brexit vision".
The cause of Mr McGregor's ire was Mr Johnson's interview with a Czech newspaper in which he suggested the UK might leave the EU customs union. This might not sound too controversial until you realise that doing that after Brexit is not actually government policy.
Downing Street has deliberately kept its options open, leading some MPs to think that staying in the customs union will be part of a transitional period before full Brexit. Mr Johnson also claimed the free movement of people was not a fundamental EU freedom, even though it was set out in the Treaty of Rome.
To some Conservative MPs, this is Boris being Boris: speaking truth clumsily and causing unnecessary offence. To others, it is Mr Johnson deliberately pushing the boundaries, trying to nudge Downing Street down a path that he and other Brexiteers wish to travel.
Either way, the interview gave the prime minister's opponents a big stick with which to beat her at question time in the House of Commons. One MP said that Theresa May will not have liked that and pointed out that at no time did she refer to Mr Johnson or praise him during her replies.
But one Downing Street source said: "If you were to sit down with the PM tonight for a whisky, she would not tell you that Boris Johnson is a problem. Her big problem is getting Whitehall to deliver what she wants."
There are some around the prime minister, however, who do not mind Mr Johnson taking some flak for the complexities and contradictions that leaving the EU will entail. This week the Dutch Finance Minister, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, told Newsnight that Mr Johnson was saying things that are "intellectually impossible".
The Italian economic development minister Carlo Calenda accused Mr Johnson of being "insulting" for suggesting that Italy should support a trade deal with the UK to avoid losing sales in Prosecco sparkling wine. One source said: "Boris is like a cut-off, absorbing some of the noise that would otherwise come our way."
That may be but it might still a problem for No 10 if the foreign secretary is unnecessarily picking fights with the EU when he should be building bridges. Some EU diplomats say his chummy way of addressing them in a few mangled words of their language can be patronising rather than engaging.
Few think he has much influence over the Brexit process. He has also upset some of his counterparts, the most important being Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany. This has not gone unnoticed in Whitehall.
Other government officials are more positive. They say Mr Johnson is popular in the Foreign Office in the way his predecessors were not. The junior staff like the way he says hello to them. The senior staff empathise with his curious intellect and linguistic hunger. And they like the way he takes his briefs seriously and masters the detail quickly.
The problem, some say, is that Mr Johnson is bored. He is being kept on a tight leash by Downing Street. No big interviews allowed, no big speeches planned, just endless "grip and grins" with visiting politicians and "get to know you" goodwill trips abroad. There are only so many times you can say that Britain will be engaged with the world post-Brexit.
So the hunt is on for a role for the foreign secretary, a focus for his energy. One idea doing the rounds is for Mr Johnson to throw himself into shaping the thinking, as much as he can, of the incoming Trump administration.
There is, the argument goes, a vacuum in much of the president-elect's foreign policy and it will be up others to fill that gap.
Others doubt the foreign secretary has been in his post long enough to have a settled world view that he can pass on to Mr Trump. What is Mr Johnson's real strategic view, they ask, on Russia, the Middle East and global trade?
Yet, astonishing as it may seem, in a short while Mr Johnson will be one of Europe's longer-serving foreign secretaries. By the end of next May, France, Germany and Italy will almost certainly have new foreign ministers who will be working alongside an equally new American secretary of state.
Despite that, some officials note that Mr Johnson has yet to be tested by a big foreign policy crisis, such as the Russian incursion into Ukraine. Will he have the clout to get Britain into the room, to shape the policy, to impose his will on a fast moving event?
That, they say, will be the time to judge the foreign secretary rather than blaming him personally for the failure of the whole government thus far to agree a strategy on Brexit. | Faraday Future, the company hoping to beat Tesla in the electric car game, had to halt building its factory in order to afford its glitzy CES press event, the firm told the BBC.

Police were investigating the abuse of workers who came to the Wisbech area from Latvia and Lithuania.
The four were found guilty of conspiracy to acquire criminal property following a 10-week trial at Huntingdon Crown Court.
Three were also jailed for arranging sham marriages which led to charges of assisting in an immigration offence.
Police said three women workers were either offered or forced to take part in sham marriages to help clear debts.
Police and the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA) investigated allegations that workers had their accommodation and bank accounts controlled by the people who brought them to the UK - which led to the charges of conspiracy to acquire criminal property.
The four who were sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court are:
Det Insp Jenny Bristow said: "The operation run by the defendants left many people in abject poverty and debt and all four defendants ruthlessly took advantage of the victims for their own gain."
Mezals and Valujevs had previously been jailed in 2014 for acting as illegal gangmasters.
Gary Hooper scored his first league goal for Norwich from the penalty spot after Jussi Jaaskelainen's foul, before Robert Snodgrass curled in a free-kick.
Leroy Fer secured Norwich's third win of the season with an injury-time goal, slotting in from 18 yards.
Ravel Morrison's close-range goal gave West Ham a deserved half-time lead.
Prior to Saturday's 3-1 home win over West Ham, Norwich had not scored more than once in the Premier League since their opening day 2-2 draw with Everton.
The Hammers looked like they were going to make it a miserable evening for Hughton after a dominant first-half display but Jaaskelainen's 54th-minute error turned the game in Norwich's favour.
The Finland goalkeeper sent Hooper tumbling after dropping a comfortable-looking cross and the former Celtic striker emphatically levelled from the spot.
From there Norwich, who were poor before the break, took control and a first Premier League goal of the season from Snodgrass and Fer's individual late effort capped a rousing second-half comeback.

The defeat leaves West Ham with just two wins this season and just one point above the relegation zone, with Norwich a position and a point above them.
The Norwich fans would have been expecting a reaction from their side after last weekend's 7-0 thrashing at Manchester City but they did not initially get it as West Ham bossed the opening 45 minutes.
Former Newcastle boss Hughton has been quick to point out his side have already played Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham but Morrison's opener deservedly left his side trailing at the break.
In a spell of concerted pressure, the visitors went close on 13 minutes when Guy Demel's powerful header cannoned off the bar to safety.
Sam Allardyce's side were now in control and Morrison rewarded their dominance on 32 minutes, converting Kevin Nolan's pull-back from close range after Razvan Rat's left-wing cross had caused problems.

After being gifted a route back into the game by Jaaskelainen, Norwich looked a different side as Jonny Howson hit the bar from 25 yards before Snodgrass brilliantly curled the hosts ahead on 72 minutes.
And their second-half control was rewarded when Fer finished low into the net after breaking from from midfield.
Norwich manager Chris Hughton: "It's a bit of relief. The level of performance has not been that bad. On the back of some difficult results against the Manchester clubs there was some nervousness.
"We told the players we have to build on this. We had a similar start last season. We beat Arsenal and that was a bit of spring for us to go on to better things and let's hope that this is the same.
"We'll enjoy it during the international break but we'll look forward to playing Newcastle in a few weeks."
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce:
"When we got the first goal today I thought the lads would be the same as they have been all season. But we've capitulated with our own errors.
"We should have picked up a win on the balance of play. We've only got ourselves to blame and I didn't expect that error from Jussi Jaaskelainen. We needed that clean sheet and didn't get that.
"I warned the players that Chris Hughton would change something and try to shut us down more. At the end of the day we lost was because it was such an unusual error. It killed the players and played on their minds."

Heath had already won silver in the K2 200m alongside Jon Schofield.
Find out how to get into canoeing with our special guide.
The 32-year-old held off France's Maxime Beaumont to claim Team GB's 25th gold of the Games in 35.197 seconds.
Englishman Heath, a 2012 bronze medallist, succeeds compatriot Ed McKeever - who failed to qualify for Rio - as Olympic champion.
"It has been in my mind every single day for the last four years, but I felt that I went into automatic pilot," said Heath.
"It is worth every ounce. I want to thank everyone here and at home. Jon has been out every day doing drills with me and checking my boat over even though he finished."
K2 partner Schofield watched the race from the Lagoa Stadium and told BBC Sport: "It so emotional to see one of your best friends do that.
"I have seen all the work that he has put in and how much he deserves it. He can truly inspire a generation back home - there is no point in doing any of this if it is not having a positive impact on peoples' lives."
Heath was pushed all the way by Beaumont but the Frenchman finished 0.165secs behind and had to settle for silver.
Saul Craviotto of Spain, who took gold in the K2 event, and Germany's Ronald Rauhe shared bronze.
"Hearts in our mouths in the stadium there but Liam being Liam just flew by them," added Schofield.
"I would like it if he got a better start but if you are as fast as Liam you can afford to be a little bit calmer in the early metres."

"You look at Middlesbrough and what they've spent so far and Aston Villa and what they can spend and Hull City have just come down - all these clubs have means that we could only dream of to get to the Premier League.
"But we still quietly believe that we can go and compete with them on an even keel on the football pitch when it's 11 v 11 and that's something that transfers to the players as well."

"I'd be disappointed and feel that we hadn't recruited well if the players aren't putting pressure on themselves as well, and they can all feel that pressure, but they're players who thrive on it," Smith said.
"We've got a lot of players now who've played a lot of games in the champ and they know what it's about and they're looking forward to the season."

The musical comedy-drama aired on Fox from 2009 until March 2015.
Justine Greening said she wanted to offer parents choice but children would not be split into "winners and losers".
She was answering an urgent question after a document proposing new grammars was photographed outside No 10.
Labour said the government was showing a "dangerous misunderstanding" of issues facing schools in England.
Meanwhile, BBC Newsnight is reporting that a new green paper is expected to be presented on Friday and will propose opening new grammar schools and allowing further selection by faith.
BBC Newsnight's policy editor Chris Cook said the most contentious suggestion in the consultation paper was likely to be that the government should pass legislation to permit new grammar schools. This would be required to overrule the 1998 Education Act, which barred the opening of further grammar schools in England.
To help overcome opposition in the Commons and the Lords, where the government does not have a majority, the paper is expected to propose that the schools should dedicate a quota of places to children from poorer backgrounds, Chris Cook said. Grammar schools may also be required to act as academy sponsors to other schools, he added.
Universities could also be asked to sponsor academies as a condition of being allowed to raise their fees. A similar condition may also be applied to private schools, Chris Cook said.
Earlier, answering an urgent question in the Commons, the education secretary said she recognised the debate over grammar schools was "emotive", saying government plans would be set out "in due course".
"There will be no return to the simplistic binary choice of the past where schools split children into winners and losers, successes and failures," she promised.
Selection can "play a role" in the education system, she said, and while grammar schools can provide a "stretching, outstanding education", they are only part of a "very broad-based school system".
The forthcoming policy was "absolutely not about going back to the past", she said.
Labour warned against creating more grammar schools, with shadow education secretary Angela Rayner saying such a policy would do nothing to address teaching staff shortages or "super-size" classes.
The debate over grammar schools was sparked after a document outlining proposals to open new ones was snapped by a photographer outside 10 Downing Street on Tuesday.
On Wednesday evening Prime Minister Theresa May told Conservative MPs she wanted "an element of selection" in the education system, but that new grammar schools would not be forced on areas that did not want them.
Addressing the 1922 committee of backbench MPs, the PM said "selection by house price" already existed within the state school system, with wealthier parents able to ensure a place for their children at high-performing schools by buying homes in the catchment area.
The government intends to publish its plans for school reform in the near future - according to the Daily Telegraph, the PM will publish a green paper and deliver a speech setting out her plans.
Grammar schools are state secondaries whose pupils are selected by examination at age 10 to 11.
There are currently about 163 grammar schools - out of 3,000 state secondaries - in England, and a further 69 in Northern Ireland.
Under a law created by the Labour government in 1998, no new grammar schools are allowed to open in England. Education policy is devolved in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Supporters of grammar schools say that children from poor backgrounds are helped to make the most of their potential because entry to such schools is on the basis of raw ability.
But many argue that, in fact, the vast majority of those doing well in entrance tests are children whose parents have paid for them to be privately tutored outside school.
Norman Smith, assistant political editor
Grammar schools remain a highly emotive political issue - but will form only one part of a much bigger package of school reform, that could include allowing free schools to introduce academic selection.
In an effort to overcome concern - including in her own party - that grammars are socially divisive, Mrs May will suggest they should only be set up where there is parental demand and priority would be given to less affluent areas.
Ministers also want the entry exams to be less susceptible to coaching and there may be different entry requirements for poorer pupils, and grammar schools would be expected to have close ties with local primary schools and to demonstrate they were socially inclusive and benefitted the local community.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, whose constituency of Sevenoaks, Kent, got approval for the first new "grammar school" - technically described as an annexe to an existing one - for five decades last year, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the government would "widen choice" but this would not mean children who failed entry exam going to "sink schools".
Sir Michael Wilshaw, chief inspector of schools watchdog Ofsted, this week said the idea that poor children would benefit from a return of grammar schools was "tosh" and "nonsense".
Former Lib Dem Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg told Today the government did not have a mandate to expand grammar schools, accusing it of "foisting their own evidence-free prejudices upon us".
The government's social mobility tsar, Alan Milburn, warned that a return to grammars could be "a social mobility disaster", telling The Guardian: "This is not selection educationally, it is selection socially."
The Conservative Party manifesto for 2015 promised to "allow all good schools to expand, whether they are maintained schools, academies, faith schools or grammar schools".
Teaching unions attacked any expansion of grammar schools.
The National Union of Teachers described it as a "regressive move", the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said it would be a "massive distraction" and the NASUWT said government policies had already increased "covert selection, often targeted at pupils from materially deprived backgrounds".
The Association of School and College Leaders, which represents secondary heads, said increased selection was "education policy by nostalgia" that would not help social mobility.
The Woodland Trust is looking for trees grown from acorns gathered at the site of the Battle of Verdun, which began 100 years ago.
The plan is to grow acorns from those oaks into a second generation of "Verdun oaks" at a planned centenary wood in Surrey.
Project manager Philippa Borrill said the trees would be planted this autumn.
BBC iWonder - What caused Verdun to be the longest battle of WW1?
The battle began on 21 February 1916 and lasted 300 days. It was the longest battle of the conflict and an estimated 800,000 men were killed, wounded or went missing.
The Woodland Trust said oak and chestnut forests at Verdun were devastated by the fighting and still bear scars from the conflict.
The charity has been investigating how and why acorns were brought from the battlefield back to the UK.
Ms Borrill said one story suggested a field marshal who was at the battle brought back a handful of acorns.
And she said there are also reports the mayor of Verdun sent a box of acorns to the London and North West Railway Company in 1917.
According to the Woodland Trust, Verdun oaks have been found in Coventry, Pembridge and Leominster in Herefordshire, Southwold in Suffolk, and at the Garden of Remembrance in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Ms Borrill said: "We think there are going to be a lot more out there.
"The idea is that hopefully we'll find as many as we can up to autumn, and then in autumn we'll go out and collect those acorns and plant them on and grow the second generation."
Four centenary woods are being planted in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to mark the 100th anniversary of World War One.
Planting for England's centenary wood began in 2014 at Langley Vale, near Epsom racecourse.
The Abu Sayyaf jihadists freed Kjartan Sekkingstad in southern Sulu province on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports say a large ransom was paid.
The group of four hostages was seized from a resort a year ago. A Filipina woman was freed in June.
Abu Sayyaf is fighting for an independent Islamic state.
It often attempts to raise money from ransom payments.
Mr Sekkingstad was freed in the town of Patikul on Jolo island. He was handed over to rebels of the Moro National Liberation Front group, which has signed a peace deal with the government and helped negotiate the release.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte had suggested in August that a large ransom had already been paid but that the jihadists were still holding Mr Sekkingstad.
The army said on Saturday Mr Sekkingstad had been freed because of its relentless attacks on the militants.
The four hostages had been taken from an upmarket resort on Samal island in Davao.
In April, the militants killed Canadian John Ridsdel after a ransom deadline expired, then a week later beheaded Robert Hall.
Mr Hall's partner, Marites Flor, was freed in June.
A fractured network of militants. Some of its factions have sworn allegiance to so-called Islamic State.
It is one of the smallest but most radical of Islamist separatist groups in the southern Philippines. Its name means "bearer of the sword" in Arabic.
It split from the larger Moro National Liberation Front in 1991. Membership is said to number in the low hundreds.
The group has been agitating for the creation of an independent Islamic state in predominantly Catholic Philippines, and uses tactics such as hostage-taking and bombings to pressure the government.
Numerous Filipino and foreign civilians have been kidnapped in the southern Philippines and parts of neighbouring Malaysia and used as hostages to extract ransoms.
Though some have been released after negotiations or attacks by Philippine forces, others have been murdered when demands were not met.
Abu Sayyaf has also said it carried out bombings in cities in the south and a ferry bombing in 2004 in Manila Bay that killed more than 100 people, considered one of the worst terror attacks in the Philippines.

There was complete quiet as the procession of about 300 started in the shadow of the charred block of flats.
Some people walked with the crutches or joined the march in wheelchairs.
Residents' groups have declared a vote of no confidence in the organisation which manages the tower.
People of all ages and all backgrounds took part as it worked its way to nearby Ladbroke Grove before returning to finish near a memorial wall for those who lost their lives.
Some carried lit candles or banners calling for "justice for Grenfell" as they walked without speaking through the mainly residential streets of north Kensington.
Thousands of residents in Kensington and Chelsea are calling on their council to terminate its contract with the organisation that managed Grenfell Tower.
Two months after the fire, the leaders of 16 residents' associations throughout the borough have written an open letter to the leader of the council expressing no confidence in the Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) claiming it is no longer fit for purpose.
Leaders of Residents Associations and other groups called on Elizabeth Campbell , Leader of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to end the TMO's contract.
It says there is a fundamental breach of care and public trust which is beyond repairs and that residents have no confidence in the TMO's ability to manage social housing in the borough.
A Kensington and Chelsea council spokesman said: "We fully realise that the Council has lost public trust. But we are determined to act properly, thoroughly and fairly to restore public trust over time.
"We are looking at all options for managing our own housing into the future. This will obviously include options for alternative management other than the KCTMO.
"We will, of course, consult with residents, the TMO and other potential housing partners on all options."
Adnan Januzaj is out with a hamstring injury, Marouane Fellaini is banned, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Luke Shaw remain out through injury.
Bournemouth have no new injury problems but manager Eddie Howe says he might rotate his squad on Sunday.
Defender Sylvain Distin and Adam Smith both remain out with back and hernia problems respectively.
Guy Mowbray: "Like the whole country, Manchester United don't know whether they'll be in or out of Europe after the summer.
"All the options are possible, with their best-case Champions League (play-off round) scenario dependent on the double of a home win AND Swansea beating Manchester City.
"Bournemouth finally come to Old Trafford for a league game looking for a double of their own, having beaten United on the south coast in December.
"That's undoubtedly one of the highlights of their first ever top division season, with the fact that they'll be back again next year an achievement that has perhaps not had the recognition it deserves.
"Maybe one day Eddie Howe will be back at a big ground like this on a more fixed basis?"

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "We are dependent on Manchester City, that's the difference and that's also frustrating when you had the chance two matches before the end to keep that advantage.
"We were 2-1 ahead with 15 minutes to play and then we gave it away [against West Ham].
"That is frustrating and now we are dependent (on what City do), but still it is possible so we will fight until the end."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "It is nice to be involved in a game that means something.
"The last few games have been difficult for us because we have not been a team that are used to not having that competitive edge.
"In the last few seasons there has always been something on every game and we have become very accustomed to it and embraced the pressure and relished it in some ways."
Manchester United still have an outside chance of a top-four finish. They should have no problems winning but I do not see Manchester City being beaten at Swansea with what is at stake for them.
The Cherries will not just be rolled over at Old Trafford, but I don't see them stopping United from ending the season with a win.

SAM (Sports Analytics Machine) is a super-computer created by Professor Ian McHale at the University of Salford that is used to predict the outcome of football matches.
The patient was being given palliative radiotherapy last September at the Western General Hospital.
A Scottish government report said the patient was given a dosage 100% greater than prescribed and there was a "significant possibility of serious harm".
NHS Lothian said it had offered its "sincere apologies" to the patient.
The mistaken dosage was given to the patient between 14 and 18 September 2015.
Mistaken calculations were made by two radiologists based at the hospital, who both administered a double dose after apparently making the same error.
The report said "a number of mistakes" had been made by staff, saying these should have been avoided due to the experience of the radiologists involved.
However, it concluded that none of these mistakes could "clearly" be identified as wrongdoing or negligence.
The new incident comes 10 years after 15-year-old Lisa Norris was overexposed to radiation at the Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow.
She received an overdose 58% greater than intended, although her dosage was higher than that of the patient involved in the 2015 case.
Lisa subsequently died but her death was not related to the overdose.
Dr David Farquharson, medical director of NHS Lothian, said: "We offered our most sincere apologies to the patient and their family following this very unusual and deeply distressing incident.
"Since then, we have ensured that they have been kept informed throughout the full and thorough investigation and reporting stages of the process.
"Cases such as these are thankfully very rare, but as soon as it was identified, we implemented a series of measures to minimise the risk of a similar incident.
"We carried out a robust internal investigation and immediately informed the external inspector."
He added: "In the report the inspector has expressed his confidence in the dedication of the commitment of Edinburgh Cancer Centre staff to the safety of patients in their care and acknowledges the many thousands of life-saving radiotherapy treatments that are successfully prescribed, planned and delivered at the Edinburgh Cancer Centre every year.
"We fully accept the findings of the report and an action team has been created to ensure that each point will be implemented as a matter of urgency, if it has not already been identified during our own investigations."
"Fires come in red and blues. The blue ones are more lethal. And the roar tells you so much on what exactly the blaze is feeding on."
Mr Ganatra, a wiry 59-year-old man, is not a professional fireman.
The school dropout has worked odd jobs all his life - working for a jute trader, and as an electrician, fixing meters.
Other times, he has chased fires all over his city, an untidy, sprawling megapolis of 15 million people. Over four decades, he has attended to more than 100 fires - helping douse the flames, rescuing people and cleaning up debris.
"You can say, I have only one interest in life. Fires."
This is the sixth article in a BBC series Unsung Indians, profiling people who are working to improve the lives of others.

Look around his tiny flat, and you realise the austere bachelor is telling the truth.
In one corner, sits a creaky and bare Formica-topped table and an odd-shaped chair. A small TV is mounted on a sooty blue wall. A low wall with freshly cemented edges partitions the room.
Across the wall are his other possessions: certificates and awards he has received for his work displayed tidily in an alcove, a small steel cupboard with a round mirror, and a blue bucket stuffed with bananas and medicines - vitamins, tablets for his gastric problems, sleeping pills.
Mr Ganatra doesn't sleep much. He hunts fires by watching news on his TV - gifted by friends - all day and night. Whenever news breaks of a blaze, he calls up the fire brigade headquarters, gets into a taxi and goes to the site.
Kolkata is a city of fires. A total of 347 people died and 1,749 were injured in some 2,000 fires in 2014. Last year, there were more than 1,600 fires, leaving 143 people dead and 974 injured.
No wonder the city's 1,258 firemen are among the most overworked in India. Mr Ganatra is also seldom out of work - he has attended to as many as three fires in a single day.
"He's a very spirited and brave man. For someone who has no formal knowledge of fire-fighting, he does a very good job. He is like a guide to our firemen, and he uses our equipment. He works almost like a professional now," says Gour Prasad Ghosh, the city fire service chief.
As a child, Mr Ganatra would get all worked up whenever he heard the frantic, clanging bell of the speeding shiny red fire engines. He would run out of the door, chase the engines struggling to make their way through congested thoroughfares and lanes, and somehow manage to reach the scene.
"There my body language would change. I would watch the firemen do their work, offer help, hang around. It would give me a huge kick."
Mr Ganatra was working as a mechanic in a city school in 1976 when he heard that a big bank in the office district was on fire.
He slipped out during the recess and ran to the fire scene. There, he helped carry water pipes from the scene to a pond in the neighbourhood and checked them for leaks.
"I still remember a scene vividly from the fire. The bank manager ran out of the building that was on fire, stopped, remembered he had forgotten something, ran back in - and never returned."
The fire chaser hasn't looked back since.
When a gas tanker keeled over on the city's iconic Howrah bridge in the early 1990s, he helped the firemen navigate the traffic to ensure nobody smoked.
When a four-storey building caught fire on Canning Street, he managed to persuade a pregnant woman not to jump off the terrace, ran up and helped the firemen make an improvised stretcher to ship her 10ft across to an opposite roof.
Mr Ganatra almost lost his life five years ago when he went into a burning warehouse on Strand Road.
He had hauled out two 15kg gas cylinders from the place and re-entered with a hosepipe. Then he saw a 30ft wall crumble and couldn't let go off the live hosepipe as it would have ricocheted in his face.
On the way out, a tin shed collapsed on him, trapping him in the debris for close to two hours.
"The firemen outside thought I was dead. I had passed out and escaped with some bruises and recovered quickly in hospital. I was very lucky."
The battle with fire is always a tough one, and sometimes the flames win overwhelmingly, leaving Mr Ganatra and his fellow firemen to pick up the dead.
When the city's historic six-storey colonial Stephen Court building caught fire in 2010, he climbed to the first floor to persuade the people trapped on the upper floors not to jump off the building.
"I kept shouting to this man from the third floor not to jump, and wait a bit for help. Then I heard a blunt thud and saw blood squirting all over.
"I remember picking up the body of a charred woman. She had an Indian Airlines ID card around her neck. Sometimes the strangest things survive in a blaze.
"I became a collector of bodies, some charred, some crushed. Everywhere there was the smell of death." More than 40 people died in the inferno.
A hospital fire in 2011, in which 89 patients died, was similarly traumatic.
Mr Ganatra had run up four floors through a smoke-filled stairwell, choking and vomiting. Looking for survivors, he found one.
"All I found were patients, who had fallen off the beds and died in the ICU. In the smoke-filled wards I saw six to seven bodies, on the floor, on the bed."
But there's no time to think of all this when the breaking news scrawl on TV announces a new fire in the city.
Mr Ganatra will slip into a 21-year-old khaki uniform gifted by a fire official, put on his yellow plastic hat and safety torch bought by friends, pick up a heavy metallic volunteer identity card, presented by a former minister, and head out to the scene.
The solitary man of modest possessions and a grand obsession gets by with a little help from his friends - they give him 2,500 rupees ($36; £26) every month.
Across the city, it is business as usual, as Mr Ganatra reaches a fire scene.
"I listen to the fire, and then I take her on. I pick up the hose. When the fire blows in my direction, I fall on the floor and let it blow over.
"You can never outrun the beast, you never can. You can only try to tame it."
Profits last year were £2.55bn. The bank also set aside a further £850m to compensate customers - including further claims for mis-sold payment protection insurance.
The results come less than a month after the bank's new chairman John McFarlane sacked Antony Jenkins.
In total, Barclays has now set aside £6bn to compensate for PPI mis-selling.
Mr McFarlane is expected set out plans to speed up reform at the bank later.
In April, Barclays set aside a further £800m, largely to cover potential further legal action and penalties for alleged foreign exchange manipulation.
That resulted in Barclays reporting a 26% fall in its first quarter statutory profits to £1.34bn.
Mr McFarlane, who took over as executive chairman of insurance giant Aviva in 2012 after sacking then chief executive Andrew Moss, believes Barclays' turnaround is not happening quickly enough.
As he did at Aviva, Mr McFarlane, who only joined the bank in April, will take on executive duties, spearheading a quest for higher returns until a replacement is found, which is it thought is unlikely to be before spring next year.
They state that poor diets were responsible for more of the global health burden than sex, drugs, alcohol and tobacco combined.
While almost 800 million people are hungry, they say two billion people are either overweight or obese.
Their comments have been published in the journal Nature.
One of the experts, Lawrence Haddad, executive director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (Gain), said the need to address the problem of global hungry remained but poor diets was a much bigger problem.
"It is one that we are blind to," explained Mr Haddad.
"We estimate that on-in-three people have really poor diets," he told BBC News.
"This is causing a whole host of malnutrition problems that has massive health consequences as well as economic consequences.
"We are saying to people, especially policymakers and research funders, we now need to move away from a world thinking about malnutrition as hunger but to think of it as hunger and poor quality of diet.
"Instead of feeding the world, we need to think about nourishing the world."
Mr Haddad and colleagues, including former UK government's chief scientific adviser Prof Sir John Beddington, used the commentary in Nature to call for "urgent interdisciplinary research is needed to support concerted policy action".
In another commentary in Nature, UN goodwill ambassador Pavan Sukhdev and fellow authors highlighted how current production and consumption patterns were not sustainable.
"Food systems are now the source of 60% of terrestrial biodiversity loss, 24% of greenhouse emissions, 33% of soil degradation and 61% of the depletion of commercial fish stocks," they wrote.
"And the increasing homogenisation of food sources worldwide is narrowing the genetic diversity in animals and plants that is crucial to secure human nutritional needs against climatic and other changes."
They add that the agriculture sector was a globally significant player economically, employing about 1.3 billion people.
"Small-scale agriculture provides subsistence, employment and most of the food directly consumed by urban residents throughout the developing world," they observed.
They warned that current metrics for agriculture did not take into account the sector's costs and benefits.
"The emphasis on yields or profits per hectare is as reductive and distorting as is gross domestic product, with its disregard for social and natural capital," they wrote.
"Food metrics must be urgently overhauled or the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will never be achieved."
Adopted in September 2015, the UN SDGs replaced the international Millennium Development Goals and included targets to end world hunger, and improve wellbeing and health of the global population.
Mr Haddad said that improving "food metrics" would be one of the first things he would look to improve in order to shift global food policy on to a sustainable footing.
"Diet data is abominable," he said.
"We only have a clue that our diets are so terrible is because of the outcomes, because there is so much micronutrient malnutrition and calorie deficiency, and obesity.
"We have some diet data and it does not tell us a great story."
He added: "If policymakers are really going to figure out what is going to be the first, second or third thing they are going to do then they are going to need some good data to carry out some diagnostic work."
Writing in Nature, Mr Haddad and his colleagues said: "Policymakers urgently need to recognise that diets are compromising economic productivity and well-being as never before. Delegates to the upcoming G20 and G7 meetings in 2017 should take collective responsbility for fixing our failing food system."

But after she suffered a massive stroke in April, she found herself with locked-in syndrome.
It was the most "terrifying experience of my life", she said.
For almost three months, Clodagh, from Magherafelt, County Londonderry, was unable to move and speak. She could only communicate by blinking, but her mind remained completely alert.
Locked-in syndrome can affect a small percentage of people when they have a stroke.
There is no treatment or cure and recovery is very rare.
In her first broadcast interview since regaining her speech, Clodagh told the BBC that while her body was left completely paralysed, she was fully aware of everything that was happening around her.
"I remember everything from the first moment I woke in the intensive care unit," she said.
"It was a very surreal experience. I wanted to shout out to everyone 'I'm here!'.
"I could see my family and partner, Adrian, were so upset and I wanted to reassure them, but I couldn't do anything. You are a prisoner in your own body."
It was on her birthday in May that Clodagh started to show signs of breaking free from being locked-in.
"My friend visited me and I was trying to communicate to her that I wanted tablets," she said.
"I had a spell-board and blinked out everything, but she was assuming what I had said.
"I was so angry. I screamed at her and that was the first time I could make noise and my arms moved slightly.
"I went from angry to overjoyed. It was a remarkable moment."
Locked-in syndrome affects particular parts of the brain and Clodagh has had to relearn basic bodily functions like breathing and swallowing
She is now learning to walk again at the brain injury unit at Musgrave Park Hospital in Belfast. Her long-term goal is to run four miles as she used to do every day.
"I've had to somewhat mourn my own death," she said.
"The person who I was is still inside me, but I have had to accept that I'll never be that person again. I have to let go of her.
"I have learned a lot about humility and compassion.
"You are a silent observer of the world when you are locked in. I want to share my experience so I can help others and make a difference."
For eight years, Clodagh was based in Londonderry as a PSNI officer and in 2012 won a community policing award.
It is a role she hopes to return to one day.
"I'm just taking every day as it comes," she said
"I would love to return to work.
"I loved Derry and I loved the people. I would feel really proud if one day, I could go back."
The current £6.60 toll for cars - already due to be cut to £5.40 - is now expected to fall to around £3.30, subject to inflation.
Mr Osborne said he had listened to the concerns of Conservative MPs in Wales.
Tax breaks for a Port Talbot enterprise zone, in the wake of job losses at Tata Steel, were also announced.
Other measures include:
Severn bridge tolls are currently collected by a firm to pay for the construction and running costs, which are due to be repaid by 2018.
The current charge - only paid by vehicles travelling from England into Wales - is £6.60 for cars, £13.20 for vans and £19.80 for lorries and buses.
The toll booths could be removed and replaced by a system of online payments, if a UK government review recommends it.
Monmouth Conservative MP David Davies said he was "absolutely delighted" by the chancellor's announcement.
"Halving the tolls is not as much as some were hoping for but it is certainly a welcome step forward," he said.
Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams said the cut was "pathetic" and called for the tolls to be scrapped.
"The Chancellor is cynically acting as if he is doing commuters a favour, but the fact is that he wants to keep this unfair tax on entering Wales," she said.
Plaid Cymru economy spokesman Rhun ap Iorwerth said his party would also aim to remove the tolls.
"The Severn bridges are of strategic importance and it is vital that they operate in a manner which helps rather than hinders Wales' economic development," he said.
In his eighth budget, Mr Osborne also said ministers would open discussions on a proposed £500m Swansea Bay City Region investment deal involving ultra-fast broadband and technology companies.
The chancellor added that a north Wales "growth deal" would be explored to ensure the region was "better connected to our Northern Powerhouse" project in England.
On Tuesday, a £1.2bn Cardiff Capital Region deal was signed to pay for transport improvements and other major schemes.
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said the budget "shows the scale of ambition this government has for Wales".
However, Labour's Shadow Welsh Secretary Nia Griffith said it was "not a budget that had the interests of Wales at its heart".
"George Osborne ducked the big challenges that our economy faces and instead announced that ordinary people in Wales will face yet more cuts," she said.
Jane Hutt, the Welsh Government's finance minister, said the extra funding for Wales "does not reverse six years of austerity".
Whatever criticism you may have of President Muhammadu Buhari, his administration cannot be accused of being dull.
Week after week, some new action on the government stage causes eyeballs to bulge.
Even those newspapers which typically scream front page headlines such as: "Friend Kills Friend Over Girlfriend" now have more than enough government activity to meet their customers' needs for sensationalism.
The budget fiasco was the latest drama to unfold, and it came with a diverse cast of characters.
First on the stage was President Buhari. Out he marched in late December, superintendent straight, stern-faced, to present Nigeria's 2016 $31bn (£21bn) budget to the National Assembly.
With great fanfare, the Senate received the boxed document, gave a resounding round of applause, and even got the man at the top to crack a grin.
It was an occasion worth celebrating, indeed.
Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani:
"The amount budgeted for books for the vice-president's office far exceeds that for some of the country's major universities"
The first time in as long as anyone can remember when the country's annual budget was ready before the middle of the year.
It was also the first in three years that a Nigerian president had personally presented a budget to the National Assembly.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan usually dispatched his finance minister to perform the duty.
In addition, the budget was made available online for citizens who so wished to freely scrutinise.
Who says Nigeria is not progressive?
Having thus made history, President Buhari exited the stage to go and continue chasing after the men and women who have been accused of spending the past few years stuffing their bellies full with funds meant for the war against Boko Haram militants.
With each new day, his trawl seems to drag in a new high-profile culprit. What a true brotherhood the multitude of alleged thieves must have shared.
There was a brief subplot when the budget went missing from the National Assembly, when no-one could trace the document presented by the head of state.
But that matter was quickly resolved and a fresh document found its way from the State House to the senators.
Once again, all was well with the world.
So what if there were some slight differences between the original document which disappeared and the new one? The show had to go on.
In a detailed analysis, the online news site Premium Times excavated some alarming figures from the budget, showing for example that the total amount budgeted for the State House clinic which serves just a few people, far exceeds that for some of the country's major hospitals which serve millions.
In addition, the amount budgeted for books for the vice-president's office far exceeds that for some of the country's major universities.
Yes, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is a professor of law. We know the learned folk like to read, but still.
On and on the alarming discoveries continued.

Nigeria's Muhammadu Buhari in profile
None of this was in keeping with the president's well-publicised austere nature.
Even the presidency appeared speechless and confused.
The office was still struggling to understand the situation when the government ministers took the stage.
Next thing, the Senate discovered a questionable sum of 10bn naira ($50m, £35m) "smuggled" into the budget of the ministry of education.
Then Health Minster Isaac Adewole expressed shock at the figures for his ministry, which he was expected to defend in parliament.
"This was not what we submitted," he said. "We'll submit another one".
With that, the mystery of the State House budget was solved.
Apparently, while President Buhari was busy poking alleged looters out of their holes, a "budget mafia", in the words of an unnamed presidency source and thought to refer to some civil servants - had padded out his budget with a few billion naira, which he knew nothing about.
Like most good dramas, the budget fiasco is not only about entertainment.
It has a moral at the end. The director of the budget office has been sacked.
And thanks to this tale of bloated figures and discrepancies, President Buhari now knows that his famous war on corruption must extend beyond big names and past governments.
The looters are within his camp as well as without.
More from Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani:
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress passed a resolution allowing couples to have two children if either parent is an only child.
A proposal to abolish re-education through labour camps was also approved.
The changes in policy were announced following a meeting of top Communist Party officials in November.
The reforms, which came at the end of a six-day meeting of the congress, have already been tested in parts of the country.
A world of no siblings
They needed formal legislative approval to be put into effect.
It is expected that reforms will be rolled out gradually and incrementally around the country, with provincial authorities entrusted to make their own decisions on implementation according to the local demographic situation.
Factors other than the one-child policy, such as a lack of social security support, have also encouraged couples to limit their offspring.
China is now believed to have a birth rate of just over 1.5 children per woman of child-bearing age - which is, in fact, higher than many of its regional neighbours, including Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
Niger has the world's highest birth rate per woman, with over seven, India has 2.55 and the US has 2.06.
China introduced its one-child policy at the end of the 1970s to curb rapid population growth.
But correspondents say the policy has become increasingly unpopular and that leaders fear the country's ageing population will both reduce the labour pool and exacerbate elderly care issues.
By 2050, more than a quarter of the population will be over 65.
The one-child policy has on the whole been strictly enforced, though some exceptions already exist, including for ethnic minorities.
Previous reforms also permitted couples to have a second child where both were only children or, in the case of rural couples, where their first-born child was a girl.
The traditional preference for boys has created a gender imbalance as some couples opt for sex-selective abortions.
By the end of the decade, demographers say China will have 24 million "leftover men" who, because of China's gender imbalance, will not be able to find a wife.
The decision to close the labour camps puts an end to a controversial punishment system long criticised for its human rights abuses.
State media said the development of China's legal system had made the camps "superfluous" and signalled the end of their "historic mission".
Final goodbye to 're-education' camps?
Secret diary from a labour camp
Chinese leaders had previously said they wanted to reform the system.
The network, which was created in the 1950s based on the Soviet Gulag, allowed the Chinese police to send anyone to prison for up to four years without a trial.
A labour camp sentence was almost impossible to appeal.
China had 260 labour camps holding 160,000 inmates at the start of this year, according to figures from the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights Watch.
Correspondents say most of the detainees were arrested for drug offences - either selling or buying small quantities of illegal narcotics.
Some of the labour camps are expected to be transformed into drug rehabilitation centres.
Rovers cruised to a 3-0 win in the away leg on Wednesday and drew 2-2 at Prenton Park, making them 5-2 aggregate winners.
It looked like being another victory for Tranmere as they went ahead 31 minutes in, Cole Stockton putting away his 24th of the season as he took down a flick-on and finished smartly.
Aldershot's race looked run but they found a goal back before the break, Bernard Mensah driving in to give them hope.
Lois Maynard hit the post for Tranmere after the restart but Aldershot responded by taking the lead, Jeff Hughes putting through his own goal from a cross into the box.
There were 40 minutes remaining at that stage but the Shots could not make Tranmere sweat further and were in fact caught on the break in time added on, James Norwood equalising.
Some fans spilled onto the field in celebration and Tranmere now wait to see who they will face at Wembley on 14 May, with Forest Green and Dagenham tied at 1-1 before their second leg on Sunday.

The Scottish champions finished bottom of Group C after a 1-1 draw at Manchester City on Tuesday.
The Hoops were twice beaten heavily by Barcelona, but drew at Borussia Monchengladbach and held City twice.
"We're competing against superpowers in European football. In the main, our performance level has been very, very good," Rodgers said.
"We haven't been beaten by City and arguably we could have won both games.
"It sets the standard for us to continue developing, look to win the Scottish Premiership and be ready for the qualifiers next season."
City loanee Patrick Roberts put Celtic ahead in Manchester after weaving into the box, but Pep Guardiola's side soon levelled through Kelechi Iheanacho.
Celtic had several second-half chances, with substitutes Leigh Griffiths and Gary Mackay-Steven both spurning opportunities.
"I thought it was a brilliant team performance," Rodgers said. "We pressed, forced City to play a lot of long balls, won the ball back and then built our game up.
"We showed great composure. The energy and quality of our game was at a real high level and we're disappointed we didn't win because we had chances."
Rodgers believes Celtic will be stronger should they reach the tournament's group stage next season, but stressed there is still a long road ahead for his side.
"We need to win the league, then get through six qualifiers, but if we can be in the tournament next year, I think we'll be even better in six to eight months' time.
"The beauty of this team is there's been hardly any players brought in. The players have been growing in belief and developing.
"To come to this stadium and play that well, with that belief and concentration, was a huge credit to them. But there's still a couple of areas we need to improve in."
Tom English, BBC Scotland
Celtic were more than value for a point and showed more evidence that this is a team that is really maturing.
They looked extremely comfortable throughout, created a lot of chances, and came with a brilliant attitude of wanting to win the game rather than hold on for a point.
The mind shift since the 7-0 defeat in Barcelona has been huge - more confidence, more belief that they belong on this stage, and some really good performers.
It doesn't add up to a place in the last 16 this season but Celtic's players, manager and supporters will be counting the days to next season and believing the last 16 is achievable.
Kayden Culp is in an induced coma with serious burns after the attack on Sunday afternoon in Kerrville, 70 miles northwest of San Antonio.
Kerrville's Fire Marshal said the accused, who has not been named, is "responsible for causing the victim's severe burns".
Kayden's mother said burns cover 20% of his body, from his ears to his belly.
His condition deteriorated on Wednesday, according to his family. His organs were failing and he remained on life support.
Kayden was playing in a field with two other children when he was doused with petrol and set alight, family members told local media.
His mother, Tristyn Hatchett, told the San Antonio Express-News: "The other boys who were there have been telling kids at school that it was not an accident, that it was intentional."
Kayden has a speech impediment and exhibits autistic behaviour, but has not been diagnosed, say family members.
His aunt, Alike Richardson, told the Express-News: "They make fun of him. He gets beat up in Carver Park every time he's goes up there.
"That's just the way it is. The kids are really mean."
Scott and Donna Hussey's son, Freddie, suffered fatal head injuries when he was hit as he walked with his mother.
Mr Hussey said if the trailer had been tested "this might not had happened".
Tony Davies, 37, from Hallen, was ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service for causing Freddie's death through careless driving.
He was also disqualified from driving for six months by a judge at Bristol Crown Court.
In court Freddie's parents called the sentence a "joke" and described Davies as "scum".
But judge Geoffrey Mercer said there was "no suggestion" that Davies was driving "anything but entirely properly".
"The carelessness lies between the coupling of the Land Rover and the trailer," he added.
Mr Hussey said the law needed to be changed and confirmed the couple would be appealing to the Attorney General's office because of the "leniency" of the sentence.
"There should be a MOT for trailers, there is in other countries and there should be here, if there were this might not have happened," he said.
Mrs Hussey said there had been a similar tragedy in Derbyshire eight years ago when a four-year-old boy was hit by a runaway trailer.
"His mother went to the government to try to get the law changed and introduce the safety checks but nothing ever happened.
"What happened to Freddie could have been prevented if they'd listened.
"Two little boy's lives have gone now, there could be more, we don't know.
"It doesn't seem right that in a country which is all on health and safety, yet these trailers are being driven around dangerously."
The DUP leader was a guest of the Ulster Council for the final of the Dr McKenna Cup between Derry and Tyrone in Armagh on Saturday night.
DUP MP Gregory Campbell welcomed the "symbolic gesture" of Mr Robinson attending the game.
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness was also at the game. Mr Robinson got a "warm reception", he said.
He said that Mr Robinson's attendance was evidence of his "inclusive approach" and was "another little piece of history".
"Peter got a very warm reception from everyone he met at the game. It was wonderful to have him there," Mr McGuinness added.
Mr Campbell told Good Morning Ulster that he would not have accepted an invitation to attend the game but did admit the first minister going was progress.
"I think these issues are more about gestures. This is about symbolism and a gesture," he said.
"I think if it is offered in that context and received in that context then I would not quibble about it.
"The GAA has been travelling in the right direction for some time now."
But the East Londonderry MP believes there is still more work to be done by the organisation.
"There are issues that are still outstanding, there are still grounds, there are still clubs named after IRA terrorists that obviously have to be changed," he said.
"In a modern democracy where people are taking part in a purely sporting environment you wouldn't name your ground or a competition after, for example, one of the bombers from Gibraltar."
The DUP's deputy leader Nigel Dodds said the first minister's attendance showed how Northern Ireland had progressed.
"It doesn't in any way compromise Peter Robinson's political principals or the political principals of the DUP," he said.
"It demonstrates a very clear message and signal to people that we are moving forward in Northern Ireland, and moving forward together."
During the Troubles, many unionists mistrusted the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which banned members of the security forces from being members.
That rule was lifted 11 years ago.
BBC Northern Ireland sports reporter Mark Sidebottom said that Mr Robinson had taken his seat just after the throw-in.
He added that security was low-key for the first minister's visit and that his attendance caused "barely a ripple" among the crowd.
Four years ago, Mr Robinson's party colleague Edwin Poots was the first DUP politician to attend a GAA game in an official capacity when he also went to a Dr McKenna Cup game.
And last year, the Queen went to the headquarters of the GAA, Croke Park in Dublin, during her historic first visit to Ireland.
Pupils from Earlsdon Primary School have drawn their own anti-smoking packaging ahead of the country's plain packaging rollout in May 2017.
Public Health England (PHE) said it hopes the message "resonates" with the country's 7m smokers.
PHE said that 78,000 people in England die every year from smoking.
The government approved the use of plain packaging on cigarette cartons - which removes messages, colours and brand images - in May.
The children drew their own front-of-pack messages, with sentiments like, "don't be the smoker, be the stopper".
The drawings also feature illustrations of diseases that can be caused by smoking, like heart attacks and strokes.
The children's designs won't be used - instead, the actual packaging will feature graphic pictures and text health warnings.
National director for health and wellbeing Kevin Fenton said: "I hope the children's heartfelt pleas will resonate with smokers around the country to encourage them to take advantage of the free campaign tools and support available, and to make 2017 the year they quit for good."
England's chief medical officer Professor Dame Sally Davies said: "Stopping smoking will have a dramatic positive impact on your health and the health of those around you, especially children, and is the single best health decision you can make this new year."
Campaign group Forest, which supports those who choose to smoke, said the use of children for an anti-smoking message was "emotional blackmail" and should not be "financed with taxpayers' money".
Director Simon Clark said: "Using children to make adults feel guilty about smoking is a new low for the public health industry."

Root helped England declare on 589-8 before Pakistan crumbled to 57-4 on the second evening, trailing by 532.
Woakes, who made 58, removed Mohammad Hafeez, Azhar Ali and nightwatchman Rahat Ali in six overs late on.
Ben Stokes also had Younus Khan caught behind to put England - 1-0 down in the series - in a commanding position.
Lord's dismissals spurred me on - Root
Media playback is not supported on this device
Unbeaten on 141 overnight, Root batted for more than 10 hours in total, facing 406 balls and hitting 27 fours, although Younus dropped a sharp low chance at slip off Yasir Shah on 155.
Root put on 113 with Woakes, 57 with Stokes and 106 in only 20 overs with Jonny Bairstow as England added 275 to their overnight total at more than four runs an over.
He was largely content to play the anchor role - it took him 23 deliveries to go from 190 to 200, reaching the milestone with a reverse-sweep off Yasir - before cutting loose either side of tea.
The leg-spinner, Pakistan's match-winner with 10 wickets at Lord's, finished with 1-213 from 54 overs.
Stokes hit five fours in his 34 before he was caught behind off Wahab Riaz following a Pakistan review, despite no apparent conclusive video evidence that he had gloved a pull.
Root eventually fell to a top-edged pull off Wahab Riaz, and Bairstow's dismissal shortly after prompted the declaration.

Nightwatchman Woakes played a key role with the bat alongside Root, scoring freely on the second morning.
He hit the only six of the England innings - a superb upper-cut over third man off Mohammad Amir - before offering a tame return catch to Yasir.
But Woakes' most important contribution came with the ball, adding to his 11-wicket haul at Lord's with three early victims in Pakistan's reply.
He had Hafeez taken by Root at second slip in his first over and caught Azhar one-handed above his head off his own bowling.
After Younus Khan gloved Stokes down the leg side via his glove, Rahat fended a Woakes bouncer to short leg to cap a day of almost total England dominance.
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on Test Match Special: "The whole day was about England.
"Joe Root took centre stage. He's one of the best four or five players in the world - he'd get in any world XI. He was composed, orthodox, textbook - it was a very fine innings.
"Scoreboard pressure does funny things to people. Did Pakistan have the mental toughness to survive 24 overs? No.
"They are in trouble. They're not going to save the match. It will have to rain a lot if England are not to win."

Joe Root on TMS on England's reaction after Lord's: "It was really important we made a statement and response. The way we did that so far this game has been brilliant.
"Pakistan will keep looking at the scoreboard - they've got a big mountain to climb.
"There's a long way to go and until we've taken 16 more wickets we'll not be satisfied."
The UKIP leader said Mr Hamilton's role as candidate for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr would limit the part he can play in the EU referendum campaign.
Mr Hamilton hopes to be selected as a candidate on the regional list as well.
The party's other deputy chair, London Assembly candidate Suzanne Evans, has also been replaced.
Mr Farage said UKIP could make "significant breakthroughs" in an "important set of elections on May 5th" but added that the party's "frontline spokesmen need to be free to comment and campaign on the main issues".
"Both of our deputy chairs are candidates in the upcoming elections and this will limit any role they can play in the national referendum campaign," he said.
"So I thank Suzanne Evans and Neil Hamilton for their time as deputy chairs and announce they will be replaced by Diane James and William Dartmouth."
Responding, Mr Hamilton told BBC Wales: "I am pleased to have Nigel's good wishes for my candidature for the Welsh assembly.
"If successful in May, I look forward to reciprocating in full measure the support he has given me in so many ways in recent years."
Walker was best-known for playing Brian O'Conner in the Fast & Furious films.
The 40-year-old died on Saturday when a Porsche being driven by a friend, who also died, crashed near Los Angeles.
Walker's co-star Jordana Brewster said: "Paul was pure light. I cannot believe he is gone." Fellow Fast & Furious actor Vin Diesel wrote that "heaven has gained a new angel".
"Brother, I will miss you very much," Diesel said on Twitter.
In a second message, he said: "My heart is hurting so sad. Paul Walker was a good man. RIP my friend... Sorry to the Walker family."
Walker starred in five of the six movies in the popular Fast & Furious franchise and had started filming the seventh.
The accident happened while Walker was attending an event for his charity Reach Out Worldwide.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department said deputies found a car engulfed in flames when they responded to a report of a collision. Two people found in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.
Images showed the burned-out wreckage of a red Porsche by the side of the road.
"It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organisation Reach Out Worldwide," a statement on the actor's Facebook page said.
"He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We... are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news.''
Other tributes came from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who has appeared in two Fast & Furious films. "All my strength, love & faith to the Walker family during this heartbreaking time," he wrote.
"We find our strength in his light. Love you brother."
Actress Jessica Alba, who appeared alongside Walker in the 2005 diving drama Into the Blue, described him as "a lovely person - so sweet and grounded".
Director Rob Cohen, who cast Walker in the first Fast & Furious picture as well as the 2000 drama Skulls, told Variety magazine that Walker and Vin Diesel were "the perfect duo for me".
Speaking about Walker, the director said: "His American beauty, his athleticism, the directness of his approach to the character, his effusive, down-to-earth personality brought joy to me and everyone around him.
"I will miss him all the rest of my days."
Ludacris, another co-star, recalled : "Your humble spirit was felt from the start, wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark."
In the Fast & Furious films, Walker made his name playing undercover officer Brian O'Conner, who infiltrated a gang of illegal Californian street racers before switching allegiances to join them.
As well as those five movies, Walker's other credits included Flags of Our Fathers, Eight Below, Noel and the forthcoming Hurricane Katrina drama Hours.
Universal Pictures issued a statement saying Walker was "truly one of the most beloved and respected members of our studio family for 14 years".
"This loss is devastating to us, to everyone involved with the Fast & Furious films, and to countless fans," it said. "We send our deepest and most sincere condolences to Paul's family."
Walker began acting as a young boy when his mother, a model, took him to auditions for commercials.
He won roles in the TV series Touched by an Angel and The Young and the Restless before moving on to supporting roles in late 1990s films like with Varsity Blues and She's All That.
After the success of the first Fast & Furious film, Walker became the leading man for the second instalment when Vin Diesel dropped out.
Diesel later returned, however, and the six-film franchise has now earned an estimated $2.4bn (£1.5bn) at global box offices. The latest instalment, the sixth, was the most lucrative so far.
The seventh instalment began filming in September but has not been completed. It had been scheduled for release in July.
Another forthcoming film is Brick Mansions, a remake of the French action film District B13, for film studio Relativity.
Relativity President Tucker Tooley said in a statement: "Paul was an incredibly talent artist, devoted philanthropist and friend." | Four people have been jailed after a police inquiry into the exploitation of migrant farm workers in Cambridgeshire.

The 20-1 shot, ridden by Daniel Tudhope and trained by David O'Meara, denied Ryan Moore a fourth win of the day.
The jockey had earlier secured a 575-1 treble - on Ballet Concerto in the Spring Mile Handicap, Tupi in the Cammidge Trophy Stakes and Kool Kompany in the Doncaster Mile Stakes.
Donncha was third, with Gabrial fourth.
"He was held up slightly on the far side of the field, so to get that win was a real result," O'Meara told ITV.
"It means an awful lot. You like to hit the ground running - sometimes you come here and loads of bubbles are burst, but it's nice to win. It tells you you've probably done the right thing over the winter."
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
The relief from the betting industry as Bravery's last-gasp success defied a Ryan Moore four-timer was palpable.
They could have done without a massive pay-out on combination bets on Moore's mounts a week before the potential uncertainties of the Grand National.
There was not so much relief as delight from the winning team, which has endured near-misses in this most competitive of races in the past, but finally nailed it.
And what a way to start the new season: David O'Meara admits to taking time to find his feet after a move of stables within Yorkshire, but things are well on track again now.
The 31-year-old appeared at Bucharest municipal court in Romania, charged with producing and distributing indecent images of children as well as blackmail.
He was remanded in custody.
Ronan Hughes, a 17-year-old from Coalisland, took his own life in June 2015 having been the victim of what the police call webcam blackmail.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said it had been liaising with a number of agencies in a variety of jurisdictions as part of the investigation, including the Romanian Police, Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism, the National Crime Agency, and Europol.
PSNI's Detective Superintendent Gary Reid said PSNI detectives are currently in Romania assisting with the investigation.
"This has been complex and protracted and we are grateful to our colleagues in our partner agencies for their assistance to date," he said.
Det Supt Reid confirmed the man would be tried in Romania with the assistance of the PSNI.
"We'll be taking over our information that led to today's arrest," he said.
Calling on anyone else who finds themselves in a similar position to Ronan Hughes to contact police, he added: "We understand people might be embarrassed by it but we would say please, set that aside.
"If you don't feel comfortable speaking to us, speak to a third party because we don't want any more deaths."
This is potentially a huge success for the PSNI.
At the time of Ronan Hughes' death, few expected any arrests to be made.
The police warned at the time that catching anyone involved would be extremely difficult because they were based "on the other side of the world".
Ronan's parents said they believed their son had been targeted by a gang based in Nigeria.
The PSNI publicly agreed that the blackmailers were probably based somewhere in Africa.
But privately their investigations led them in a different direction.
The PSNI's specialist cyber-crime unit was able to trace the computer used to blackmail the teenager.
They then worked closely with police in Romania.
A number of PSNI officers then flew to Romania to arrest the suspect.
The police will hope this arrest will send a strong message that distance doesn't protect from detection and prosecution of suspected internet crimes.
Ronan was tricked into sharing intimate images of himself online, and some of them were then sent to his friends when he failed to pay a ransom.
Just hours later, the teenager, who was a pupil of St Joseph's Grammar in Donaghmore, took his own life.
Earlier this month, the PSNI said that 100 webcam blackmails had been reported to them this year.
They said people of all ages have been targeted, adding that cyber-stalking was becoming a "prevalent issue" in Northern Ireland.
Webcam blackmail involves overseas criminals scouring the web for people they can build a rapport with, before deceiving them into performing a sexual act on video.
The footage is recorded and then used to blackmail victims for money.
TNS, who won their 11th title in 2016-17, play the first leg at home on 27 June, with the return leg on 4 July.
In the Europa League, Bala Town face FC Vaduz (Liechtenstein), Connah's Quay Nomads have HJK Helsinki (Finland) and Bangor City play Lyngby BK (Denmark).
The first legs are scheduled for 29 June, with the return on 6 July.
Bala and the Nomads will have home advantage in the first leg, while Bangor will start away in Denmark.
If TNS beat Europa, they will face Croatian side HNK Rijeka in the Champions League second qualifying round.
But Saints interim manager Scott Ruscoe says they are keeping their minds on beating Europa FC first.
"It's not a bad draw logistically for us because it's going to be close with direct flights, things like that," said Ruscoe, who is in charge following Craig Harrison's departure to take over Hartlepool.
"I'm just pleased we didn't pick out the Armenian side or had to go to Kosovo, because that would have been difficult going into the unknown.
"We've seen enough of Europa FC, they're a decent side and... beat Lincoln to the title who were always thereabouts in [qualifying for] Europe."
Ruscoe revealed that the away leg on 4 July will be played in Portugal, possibly in Faro, as the pitch at the multi-sport Victoria Stadium in Gibraltar failed a Uefa inspection.
"A week Tuesday we'll be at Park Hall and after that in Portugal," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"We're very happy to be at home first, you can put your stamp on the tie early on.
"We're good at home. Touch wood, we can get off to a good start, we can suss them out... but our clear message will be to play our normal way."
Hammond's treble, plus tries from Val Rapava Ruskin and Sam Betty, gave Warriors a 35-7 half-time lead.
Further scores followed through Ben Howard, a penalty try which saw Enisei wing Igor Kurashov sent off, Sam Ripper-Smith and Max Stelling.
Mikhail Gachechiladze and Valeri Morozov scored the Russians' tries.
Kurashov was shown the red card 12 minutes from the end for illegally knocking the ball out of Hammond's hands as the Worcester wing threatened a fourth try.
Worcester's victory means they climb above Enisei to finish third in Pool Three.
Warriors: Howard; Humphreys, Braid, Te'o, Hammond; Shillcock, Baldwin; Rapava Ruskin, Taufete'e, Alo, O'Callaghan (capt), Spencer, Taylor, Betty, Cox.

A brace from Marc Richards and another from Matt Taylor saw the hosts seemingly cruising at 3-0 up with 16 minutes to go, but they were made to sweat in the end as goals from George Miller and Zeli Ismail set up a grandstand finish.
Both sides had early chances, Sam Hoskins denied by Ben Williams and Marc Richards heading over for the Cobblers while Tom Walker fired over for the visitors.
Neil Danns also saw his effort saved by Adam Smith before Danny Mayor shot wide from the edge of the box as Bury pushed for the opener.
Chances continued to fall at both ends and in between efforts from the lively Hoskins and Paul Anderson for Northampton, Bury defender Antony Kay should have done better with a close-range header which he could not keep on target.
The deadlock was broken in the 36th minute when Taylor's free-kick was fired into the bottom corner of the net by Richards.
It was almost 2-0 before the break when Hoskins raced through but he was denied by Williams, who also thwarted JJ Hooper.
After the restart Taylor was just off target from a free-kick and Hoskins fired over before again denied by Williams as Town looked to build on their lead.
That second goal arrived in the 64th minute, when Hoskins earned a penalty which Richards converted for his second goal of the afternoon.
Hooper fired wide before the Cobblers made it 3-0 in the 71st minute with another trademark Taylor free-kick, the midfielder finding the top corner of the net.
That goal looked to have killed off Bury, but they reduced the arrears in the 74th minute when Miller headed home after being set up by Danns following a free-kick.
The visitors then pulled another goal back in the 82nd minute when Ismail netted from the edge of the box.
Bury pushed for an equaliser and they almost got it in stoppage time when Kay saw his shot saved by Smith.

Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, returning to the scene of her greatest triumph, ran 12.79 in a world-class 100m hurdles - just 0.25secs off the personal best she set on this track three years ago.
On the weekend when she will decide whether to compete at next month's World Championships in Beijing, the 29-year-old looks like she is finding her best form in her first season back since giving birth to her son, Reggie.
Besides Farah, other British winners on the night were 20-year-old Anguilla-born sprinter Zharnel Hughes, a member of Bolt's training group in Jamaica, in the 200m, and Laura Weightman, who triumphed in the 1500m.
Bolt had only raced once over 100m in 2015 before Friday, recording a time of 10.12 in April, because of a pelvic problem.
But his times on Friday were season's bests and equal sixth-fastest times of the year over the distance, although they are still behind American Justin Gatlin's world-leading time of 9.74.
Competing on the track where he won three gold medals at London 2012, Bolt started poorly in the final but overpowered his rivals in the last 10m.
America's Michael Rodgers was 0.03secs behind in second, while Bolt's compatriot Kemar Bailey-Cole was third in a personal best 9.92.
Significantly, British 100m champion CJ Ujah ran under 10 seconds for the second time in his career, equalling his personal best 9.96 on a chilly London evening.
Bolt promised to put on a show for the fans who endured a rain-soaked evening in east London to watch him compete in the first of a two-day Diamond League meeting.
As is always the way with the sport's principal showman his performance was more than a dash to the line: there was a lap around the track in a classic convertible to open the night and the habitual fooling around at the start line before he got down to business.
There are those who question whether we will see the Jamaican, who has run the three fastest times in history, at his best again, because of age and injury.
But he won his heat effortlessly - running into a headwind - and while winning the final was more of a challenge, he still clocked a world-class time.
Thousands roared his every stride, flags waving and flashbulbs popping, simply pleased to see an athlete who transcends his sport back on the track.
The Jamaican said in his press conference on Thursday he was not intending to lose in Beijing, where he won the first of his three Olympic titles.
Importantly, he has time to improve ahead of the Worlds and is closer to the heels of Gatlin than many had previously thought.
Gatlin, a two-time drugs cheat, has run under 9.8 secs in the blue riband event four times this year - 9.74, 9.75, 9.75, 9.78 - while Bolt has now run just three 100m races.
While the year's top three 100m sprinters, Gatlin, Asafa Powell and Trayvon Bromell, were not competing in London, Bolt's times in the Olympic Stadium were a loud and clear message that a successful defence of his 100m and 200m world titles is not fanciful talk.
The knee injury which hindered him last season has healed, while the pelvic problem which forced the Jamaican to withdraw from Diamond League meetings in Paris and Lausanne this month doesn't, on Friday night's evidence, seem to be serious.
And his form will be a relief to those who regard Bolt as the saviour of an event clouded by doping and feared Gatlin would easily win a sprint double next month.
With less than a month until the World Championships, it was a night full of promise for 21-year-old CJ Ujah, which suggests he can compete with the best in Beijing.
He finished ahead of Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut, the fourth-fastest man this season, and compatriot James Dasaolu, who was ninth in a disappointing 10.19.
"It's crazy to run in front of my home crowd. I just want to build on this ahead of Beijing," said Ujah, one of five men to go under 10 seconds on the night.
"This is my first time running in the stadium, so this is all quite new to me - the atmosphere was just electric."
Zharnel Hughes produced a stunning personal best of 20.05 to win the men's 200m in a time that only two Britons - John Regis and Adam Gemili - have bettered.
"I didn't expect the PB because last week I had a niggle in my hamstring. I was just thinking relax and get to the line," said Hughes, who earned his British passport last month.
So dreadful were the conditions on occasion, the men's pole vault was suspended until Saturday, with world record holder Renaud Lavillenie apologising to the crowd afterwards.
When the women's 400m runners opened the racing the rain had abated and defending world champion Christine Ohuruogu went on to finish fourth, 0.18secs adrift of the season's best 50.82 she set in Monaco last week.
There was a personal best 51.48 for Welsh athlete Seren Bundy-Davies in the same race, while in the men's 110m hurdles her compatriot David Omeregie set a personal best 13.50 in the heats.
With British Athletics selecting their squad for the Worlds on 27 July, Laura Weightman made a statement of intent by winning the women's 1500m.
"I've had a tricky few races recently and that made me lose a bit of confidence, so this has really brought it back and told me that I am in the right place."
Mr Megraw was one of the 16 murder victims who became known as the Disappeared.
His remains were found in a drainage ditch on Oristown bog, near Kells, by contractors called in to prepare the site for forensic excavations.
DNA tests have positively identified the remains as those of Mr Megraw.
The coroner for the city of Dublin has accepted this as evidence of identification and will shortly authorise the release of the remains to the family.
In a statement, Brendan Megraw's brother, Kieran, said the family are relieved that he has been found.
"He has been alone for nearly 40 years and now we can bring him home and lay him to rest with our mum and dad," he said.
"We want to thank all those who have supported us over the years."
He added: "Brendan was found because more information came in to refine the search area and we are hugely grateful for whoever provided it.
"We hope and pray that the suffering of those still waiting for the return of their loved ones will soon be brought to an end".
Mr Megraw was 23 when he was abducted from Twinbrook in Belfast in 1978, and murdered by the IRA.
He had recently been married and was awaiting the birth of his daughter.
His kidnappers had drugged his wife, Marie, in their home as they waited for his return, and as they took him away they warned her not to worry or contact police.
The Megraw family were only told by the IRA in 1999 that he was one of the Disappeared and his body had been dumped on the bogland near the town of Kells in County Meath.
Three previous searches for Mr Megraw, the most recent in 2010, were unsuccessful.
The Disappeared were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republican paramilitaries during the Troubles.
Separate searches have also taken place on bogland a few miles away from where Mr Megraw was buried in County Meath for the remains of Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright, both of whom were abducted by the IRA in October 1972.
It is also suspected Joseph Lynskey, a former Cistercian monk taken from the Beechmount area of west Belfast in the summer of 1972, was also buried somewhere in the region.
This ranking of online searches is very different from the traditional map of the global powerhouses of higher education.
There is a strong interest in online courses, rather than traditional campus-based universities, says Google.
And there are five Indian institutions in the top 20 of most searched-for universities.
The top search worldwide is for the University of Phoenix, a US-based, for-profit university, with many online courses and a sometimes controversial record on recruitment.
The University of Phoenix, founded in the 1970s, comes ahead of famous US academic institutions such as Harvard, Stanford and Columbia.
In second place in this league table of university searches is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - last week ranked as the world's best university and also an institution with a strong record for pioneering online courses.
The top European university is not some ancient institution, but the UK's distance learning pioneer, the Open University.
It has been developing online courses, including for the US, and is in third place in the Google most-searched rankings.
University College London and the London School of Economics are both ahead of Oxford and Cambridge among UK universities.
The University of Calicut, in Kerala, India, is fourth in this ranking of online searches. And Anna University in Chennai is the second Indian university in the top 10.
Liberty University, an evangelical Christian university based in Virginia in the US, with many online students, appears in the top 20.
The internet has become a key marketplace for universities to reach potential students, says Google's analysis.
It is also increasingly the medium for delivering courses, including massive open online courses or "Moocs". In 2013, searches for online universities overtook traditional universities.
Taking the UK higher education system as an example, Google's search patterns show a globalised and fast-changing market.
Among searches worldwide for UK universities, 40% are from outside the UK. The biggest international regions for searching for UK universities are Asia Pacific and western Europe.
This has helped to put five UK universities in the top 20 - but Google's report on search data shows the volatility and pace of change.
In 2011, the most searched-for universities in the UK, apart from the Open University, were conventional campus-based institutions, headed by Oxford and Cambridge.
By 2014, all of these UK campus universities had been overtaken by Coursera, the US-based provider of online courses. Other Mooc providers, such as edX and FutureLearn, had also emerged as bigger than many traditional UK universities.
"The growth that they've experienced has been phenomenal," says the Google analysis. "Higher education institutions must decide whether to embrace and adapt or risk getting left behind."
The Khan Academy, which has been providing online teaching material since 2006, has more search activity than Cambridge University, teaching since the 13th Century.
Universities are acutely aware of the importance of their online presence, says Ronald Ehrenberg, director of Cornell University's Higher Education Research Institute in New York.
The internet is the "primary way" that universities market themselves to potential students and to alumni, says Prof Ehrenberg.
"We update our web page multiple times a week to broadcast all the news that is going on at the university and all of the achievements, including research, of our faculty and students, and showcase all the visitors to the university.
"But this is only the tip of the iceberg in the way that the internet has changed how we behave.
"Many institutions are heavily into online instruction as a way of expanding enrolments... many institutions are moving to expand revenues by growing professional masters programmes in a wide range of areas."
Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute in London, says the impact of Moocs has been "over-sold".
But he says university websites have an important role in recruiting, particularly for overseas students.
The Google data suggests that academics, accustomed to university terms, will also need to pay attention to search terms.
"The internet is playing an ever increasing role in the decision making. Students are online searching and consuming content in all forms when they are deciding whether or not to go to university and deciding which universities to apply for," said Harry Walker, education industry head at Google.
Connor Jennings came closest to breaking the deadlock in a tight first half, heading against a post for the away side from Adam Buxton's neat cross.
In the second half, Rovers rued a miss from James Norwood, as Williamson went up the other end and found the top corner at the near post with precision and calmness.
Richard Hill's side were always in control, as emphasised in the latter stages when McAllister and Sam Matthews came off the bench, with the latter crossing for the former to head in off the underside of the bar.

Norbert Hofer's new slogan translates as "So help me God" which his party says reflects "a strong anchorage in Christian and Western values".
But leaders from Protestant churches said God was the defender of the weak, "who today include refugees".
Mr Hofer's Freedom Party has campaigned against immigration.
The Christian leaders - not including the country's dominant Catholic Church - also said God was not Western, but universal.
"God cannot be manipulated for personal intentions or political purposes," Bishop Michael Buenker said in a joint statement with other Protestant leaders (in German).
"We consider that mentioning God for one's own political interests and using him along with reference to the Christian West to indirectly attack other religions and cultures amounts to an abuse of his name and of religion in general.
"We reject the use of God for political campaigning."
In response, Mr Hofer tweeted the lyrics to the Austrian national anthem (in German), which mention God, a picture of a US dollar note bearing the slogan "In God we trust" and a picture of the cover of a book about German Chancellor Angela Merkel, entitled So wahr mir Gott helfe.
Mrs Merkel used the optional phrase at her swearing-in ceremony. It is the exact same slogan as Mr Hofer used, and translates to "So help me God".
Mr Hofer is facing an independent Green-backed candidate, Alexander van der Bellen, in an election which is being rerun because of procedural irregularities. If he wins, he will become the first far-right head of state in Europe since the EU was founded.
In May, he lost by 31,000 votes to Mr van der Bellen, but the Freedom Party's claim of procedural irregularities was upheld in court and the election will be re-run in December. The re-run had to be postponed after an October attempt was curtailed due to postal vote envelopes not being sticky enough.
The Freedom Party said Mr Hofer's slogan had come directly from his heart.
Party official Herbert Kickl said the phrase was "in no way a misuse of the concept of God" and that mentioning God was "deeply rooted in our tradition and culture".
His other slogans included "Norbert Hofer: for Austria with heart and soul".
Mr Hofer was born into a Roman Catholic family but has since become a Protestant. His wife and children are Catholic.
Philippe Lamberts said MEPs could move from the French city to their other building in Brussels, Belgium.
His suggestion came as new proposals to redistribute 160,000 migrants were announced.
An influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees has sparked a crisis in the 28-nation EU.
"This parliament where we are gathered today, well we use it only 50 days of the year," Mr Lamberts said as lawmakers debated an address by European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker.
"For the other 300 days, the 750 MEP offices, all heated, all with their own shower cubicle, remain empty and useless.
"We propose that this... perfectly equipped building be used as a temporary home for the migrants and refugees while we do our work in Brussels."
Migrants have been pouring into western EU countries, particularly Austria and Germany, where they are being cared for in registration centres. But officials say they are struggling to cope with the numbers.
The Green Party has been a fierce critic of the European Parliament's monthly move between Brussels and Strasbourg, branding it expensive and damaging to the environment.
The city stands on the Rhine facing Germany, and France insists it is a symbol of post-war unity and friendship.
Strasbourg hotels, restaurants and other services also benefit from the regular visits by MEPs, parliament staff, journalists and lobbyists.
The Strasbourg parliament building was inaugurated in 1999 by then French President Jacques Chirac.
In 2008, part of the ceiling in the plenary chamber collapsed. Fortunately, the room was empty at the time and no-one was hurt.
The Airlander 10 - which is part plane and part airship - took off from Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire.
Its original test flight on Sunday was postponed, but it finally left the ground at 19:40 BST.
The £25m aircraft measures 302ft (92m) long and is about 50ft (15m) longer than the biggest passenger jets.
Live: Latest updates on the maiden flight of Airlander 10
In pictures: The Airlander 10 on the day of its maiden flight
Sunday's attempt was dropped because of a "technical issue" which could not be resolved in time for a daylight flight.
The airship is not allowed to fly at night during the test stage.
Christened the Martha Gwyn, the aircraft was first developed for the US government as a surveillance aircraft but the project was shelved amid defence cutbacks.
British firm Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) launched a campaign to return the Airlander 10 to the skies in May 2015.
The huge aircraft will be able to stay airborne for around five days during manned flights.
HAV claims it could be used for a variety of functions such as surveillance, communications, delivering aid and even passenger travel.
The company hopes to be building 10 Airlanders a year by 2021.
The Airlander 10 was launched from Cardington Sheds, a Grade II-listed relic of World War One which housed airships in the 1920s.
The body of Oliver Gobat, 38, was found in a burnt-out car on the Caribbean island in April last year.
He was reportedly shot and then set alight.
After the inquest in Woking delivered its verdict, The Foreign Office said it had been agreed in principle UK police could assist investigators in St Lucia.
Surrey Police said no request for assistance had yet been made.
Mr Gobat, known as Ollie, was born on the island but grew up in Surrey, where he played junior cricket at county level.
He and his two older brothers ran a five-star boutique hotel at an exclusive resort in St Lucia.
The Foreign Office said any assistance from UK forces would have to be funded by Caribbean authorities.
But, it said, no decision had been made to deploy police to St Lucia and it could not comment on cost details.
Surrey Police said it was aware of Mrs May's decision and would "carefully" consider any requests from St Lucia.
The report, Mapping the Social Business Sector in Wales, identified 1,698 organisations operating in the social business sector in Wales.
This includes co-operatives, mutuals, social enterprises and employee-owned businesses.
It is based on a survey of 810 organisations - 48% of the sector.
Other key findings of the report were:
Glenn Bowen, director of enterprise at the Wales Co-operative Centre, said the report suggested there had been "real growth" in the sector in the last two years.
He said: "Social businesses are often formed as a result of issues identified at a grassroots level by a local community.
"They plug gaps in provision and, in some cases, grow through innovative delivery and defining services in direct response to their community's needs."
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said the Welsh Government was "committed to working closely with social businesses to help them to thrive and grow".
The research was commissioned by Social Business Wales and conducted by Wavehill Ltd.
Santosh Benjamin-Muthiah died in November 2010 after he was overcome by smoke at his home in Wealdstone, north London.
The 36-year-old helped his two daughters to safety through a window.
His daughters - one aged three and the other three months - survived, but he did not escape the house himself.
Coroner Andrew Walker has accepted recommendations put forward by Hertfordshire Trading Standards and London Fire Brigade about the way safety problems are recorded and how irresponsible manufacturers should be punished.
He will now urge the government to reform safety standards.
Lawyers representing Mr Benjamin-Muthiah's family said the changes "would stop manufacturers keeping safety issues secret" and force them to take action.
Mr Walker recorded a narrative verdict at North London Coroner's Court, which blamed a defrost timer on the family's Beko fridge-freezer for the blaze.
The inquest previously heard that Beko, one of Europe's largest white goods brands, had been aware of a possible safety issue with components as far back as 2003 but failed to rectify it.
Mr Walker said he could not be sure what caused the defrost timer to fail and said a product recall to fix the problematic component might not have prevented the blaze.
The family's lawyer, Jill Patterson, said the inquest had highlighted problems with regulating products and product recall.
"The changes could potentially overhaul consumer product safety regulation," she said.
"They put the power back in to the hands of consumers and stop manufacturers from keeping their problems secret."
After the inquest, Mr Benjamin-Muthiah's wife Jennifer said: "Manufacturers, producers and their retailers should be held more accountable for their actions, or their lack of response to consumer safety concerns.
"The value of a human life is priceless."
Palmer, who has died at the age of 87, was the first sportsman to use his fame to build a business empire, through an array of commercial ventures.
He put his name to products and services, including United Airlines, Cadillac cars, Rolex watches, Hertz car rental and Callaway golfing products.
The effects of his vision spilled over into other sports including tennis.
"He had the good looks, and affable persona and smile, as well as golfing ability, to become the template for what every successful sports endorser should be," says sports sponsorship expert Nigel Currie.
"He had all the attributes you need to maximise your earnings through commercial activities.
"Before then sportsmen made all their money from hitting a ball in a sporting arena."
Indeed, the man nicknamed The King, was the first golf player to make $1m from playing the sport.
He was Mark McCormack's - the undisputed king of sports marketing - first client at agency IMG, and together they invented a way of making more money off the golf course than on it.
In the first two years of his agreement with Mr McCormack, the golfer's endorsement earnings leapt from $6,000 a year to more than $500,000.
Palmer put his name to a variety of products and services, including United Airlines, Cadillac cars, Rolex watches, Hertz car rental, Pennzoil engine fluid, Callaway golfing products and E-Z-Go golf carts.
And he founded Arnold Palmer Enterprises to handle his endorsements and other ventures.
"Palmer was such a huge golfing icon in America, he was hugely popular with the public, and he and McCormack were able to make money from using his personality in conjunction with different brands," says Mr Currie.
"And it was not just endorsements during his playing career, nor indeed just golf brands.
"He also made a huge amount of money after he stopped playing."
The golfer was loved as an everyman superstar, and even had a drink named after him - the Arnold Palmer cocktail, made from one part iced tea and one part lemonade.
He also gave his name to a professional tournament - The Arnold Palmer Invitational, held each March at his private golf resort in Bay Hill, Florida.
He also leaves behind nearly 300 signature-designed courses.
"Whether he was able to physically oversee and have total control over the development of all of these courses is arguable," says Mr Currie.
"But he will have worked with top people in bringing them to fruition, and certainly will have had a huge involvement in each design."
As well as endorsements and course designs, Palmer is also credited with helping to make golf a popular TV sport during the late 1950s.
Palmer attracted thousands of diehard fans known as "Arnie's army" and helped to promote the game into the television age.
Mr Currie says that the power of Palmer's personality in securing such a powerful commercial position for himself should not be underrated, given that he was not the most global successful player ever.
"Jack Nicklaus was the more successful player, and won more titles," he says.
Nicklaus won 18 majors, and Tiger Woods has won 14, while Palmer secured an impressive seven majors between 1958 and 1964, as part of his overall haul of 90 tournaments worldwide.
"Palmer had a short career at the very top, and did not win a major title after the early 1960s."
But he had shown he was already thinking ahead to a career off the course, shrewdly signing that IMG deal with McCormack as early as 1960.
Nowadays it is commonplace for sports stars to put their names to commercial products.
But half a century ago such as association between sport and brands was unheard of.
Palmer has left a legacy for which today's high earning stars, earning astronomical sums from their own deals, should be eternally grateful.
The likes of Tiger Woods, who signed lucrative deals with global firms such as Nike, American Express and GM, Nick Faldo and Greg Norman, who launched a number of commercial ventures, from sports clothing to wines, as well as tennis stars such as Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova all followed in the path created by Palmer.
"He was the prototype for all of today's high earning sports men and women, and one of the few people you can truly say changed the world of sports business," says Mr Currie.
"As well as being as a highly significant business figure, he was also an American and golfing icon."
Of more than 90 trusts that responded to FOI requests, half are making at least £1m a year, the news agency Press Association (PA) found.
The Patients Association said the charges were "morally wrong".
But many trusts defended their revenues, saying some or all of the money was put back into patient care.
The investigation showed hospitals were making increasing amounts of money from staff, patients and visitors - including those who are disabled - who used their car parks.
It also found hospitals were giving millions of pounds to private firms to run their car parks for them, with some receiving money from parking fines.
Others are tied into private finance initiative contracts, where all the money charged from car parks goes to companies under the terms of the scheme.
Seven NHS trusts earned more than £3m in 2014-15 from charges, another eight made more than £2m a year and a further 33 earned more than £1m a year.
Almost half of all trusts also charged disabled people for parking in some or all of their disabled spaces.
Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: "The money is never reinvested in frontline services. Hospital car parks are often managed by private contractors who take a huge percentage of the profits.
"This is morally wrong - and charging disabled people is a disgrace."
Laura Keely, from charity Macmillan Cancer Support, told the BBC: "You shouldn't necessarily penalise cancer patients and other people with long-term conditions who are having to attend hospital to receive life saving treatment, that just isn't fair.
"There could be concessionary schemes. There could be barrier schemes, people proving that they are there for a hospital appointment, to weed out people who should not be using the hospital [car park] to do their Christmas shopping."
Shadow health minister Andrew Gwynne said the figures were "worrying".
Josie Irwin, head of employment relations at the Royal College of Nursing, said the charges were having a "real impact" on nurses' pay.
Hospital car parking charges in Scotland and Wales were abolished in 2008.
Three car parks in Scotland, operated under Private Finance Initiative contracts, still have car parking fees. The Scottish government said there are no plans to abolish charges at these hospitals.
Three hospitals in Wales also continue to charge, but have been told to stop doing so once their contracts with private parking firms end in 2018.
A spokesperson for Northern Ireland's Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety said hospital parking charges are permitted "where they are set to recover the cost of investment in and maintenance of car park provision including associated security costs".
Patients receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatment, patients receiving renal dialysis and next of kin visiting patients in critical care or a high dependency unit are eligible for free car parking in Northern Ireland.
The London North West Healthcare NHS Trust paid £1.8m in 2014 went to the company Apcoa, which manages the Northwick Park multi-storey under a PFI contract.
The company, which pays the trust about £40,000 a month on a lease basis, also kept £34,052 in parking fines in 2014.
Some NHS trusts also raised a significant amount from charging staff for parking.
Of the £3,876,314 the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust raised from parking charges in 2014-15, £1,206,836 was from staff.
Many trusts said the money was put back into patient care or was spent on maintaining car parks or grounds.
Others said their size and the fact that they served busy neighbourhoods meant they took more in revenue.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We expect all NHS organisations to follow our guidelines on car parking, including offering discounts to disabled people.
"Patients and families shouldn't have to deal with the added stress of unfair parking charges and our guidance rightly helps the public hold the NHS to account for any unfair charges or practices."
The 27-year-old has scored in each of his six league games since joining the Scottish champions.
"On a personal level, it's about me getting back to enjoying football and that's exactly what I'm doing," Sinclair told BBC Scotland after Saturday's 6-1 win over Kilmarnock.
"I've got a manager who believes in me and gets the best out of me."
Sinclair and Rodgers worked together at Chelsea and Swansea and were reunited when Celtic paid Aston Villa an undisclosed fee to bring the player in on a four-year deal in August.
The manager hailed Sinclair's "incredible" goal-run, revealing the winger had been hampered by recent illness.
"Scott was not well all week," Rodgers explained. "He didn't train after the game last weekend and we gave him a 45 minute rest on Wednesday [the 2-0 League Cup win against Alloa].
"But he always has a hunger to work hard and to score.
"He showed great composure for the goal."
Sinclair's strike against Kilmarnock came from the penalty spot, with Leigh Griffiths giving up the opportunity to score after he was fouled.
The gesture from the striker, who had already netted as a substitute on his return from injury, was appreciated, with Sinclair saying: "It was great from Griff and it just goes to show the togetherness in the team.
"I came here to score goals and create and as long as I'm doing my job I'm happy."
Next up for Celtic is a Champions League meeting with one of Sinclair's former clubs, Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's side top the Premier League and have won all 10 of their games since the Spaniard took over, including a 4-0 demolition of Borussia Monchengladbach in their Group C opener, while Celtic were routed 7-0 in Barcelona.
"It's going to be massive," said Sinclair, who moved to City from Swansea in 2012.
"All the players are telling me when the Champions League nights are here it's unbelievable. Celtic Park will be rocking and I'm really looking forward it.
"With the fans behind us, it definitely spurs us on and gives us that little bit of edge."
Sinclair made just two league starts for City, spending time on loan at West Brom and Aston Villa before switching permanently to Villa in 2015.
"I wouldn't say I had a point to prove," said Sinclair. "I'm just enjoying football again. I've got a smile on my face and I'm scoring goals and we're winning games."
The San Francisco Chronicle said Mr Baker died in his sleep at his home in New York on Thursday night.
He initially designed an eight-colour flag in 1978 for the city's gay freedom day, the precursor to the modern pride parade.
A candlelight vigil is planned for Friday evening in San Francisco.
Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black tweeted: "Rainbows weep. Our world is far less colourful without you, my love. Gilbert Baker gave us the rainbow flag to unite us. Unite again."
California State Senator Scott Weiner said Mr Baker's work "helped define the modern LGBT movement".
"Rest in power, Gilbert," he said.
Mr Baker's original flag had eight colours, each representing a different aspect of humanity:

It would later be reduced to six stripes, removing pink and indigo, and swapping blue for turquoise.
Mr Baker said he wanted to convey the idea of diversity and inclusion, using "something from nature to represent that our sexuality is a human right".
In 2015, New York's Museum of Modern Art acquired the flag for its design collection, calling it a "powerful design milestone".
"I decided that we should have a flag, that a flag fit us as a symbol, that we are a people, a tribe if you will," Mr Baker told the Museum in an interview.
"And flags are about proclaiming power, so it's very appropriate."
A giant rainbow flag flies at the junction of Castro and Market streets in San Francisco, near Harvey Milk Plaza, which is named for America's first openly gay politician.
A candlelit vigil is planned for 19:00 local time (02:00 GMT) beneath the flag.
Officers examined an allegation of "a small number of assaults" at It's The Little Things Children's Day Nursery in Maghull in November 2015.
The Crown Prosecution Service said no further action would be taken following the investigation also involving Sefton Safeguarding Services and Ofsted.
Co-owner Scott McCubbin thanked parents and staff for their support.
He said: "We're pleased to hear the police investigation has concluded and there will be no further action.
"We'd like to thank our staff and parents for their loyalty throughout this difficult time."
The case has been filed pending further information. No arrests were made.
Mr Schlecker is accused of offences relating to the 2012 bankruptcy, and his family allegedly helped him. His shops sold personal hygiene goods and household articles.
"The accusations are unfounded," he objected, via his lawyer in Stuttgart.
He could get up to 10 years in jail.
In Germany about 25,000 Schlecker staff lost their jobs, as did a similar number elsewhere in Europe, after the business filed for bankruptcy.
According to Stuttgart prosecutors, Mr Schlecker knew that bankruptcy was looming and siphoned off more than €20m (£17m; $21m) in assets, which would otherwise have gone to creditors.
He is accused of having made false statements about the company's financial situation.
Mr Schlecker's lawyer argues that his client did not imagine that the business was facing collapse.
The indictment includes the charges that Mr Schlecker spent €1m on a home renovation for his son Lars, a holiday for the children that cost tens of thousands of euros, and €800,000 in gifts for four grandchildren.
Lars and his sister Meike ran a logistics firm, LDG, which allegedly became a conduit for some of the Schlecker company assets.
His wife Christa is accused of having received tens of thousands of euros disguised as consultancy fees.
The MSP says when she asked for her quotes on her sexuality not to be included in an interview with the Fabian Review, her request was ignored.
The Fabian Society said it was "very sorry" she was upset by the interview.
Meanwhile, Tory MP Sir Alan Duncan says his sexuality prevented him from getting a role in former Prime Minister Sir John Major's government.
They were among a number of politicians speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme about what it was like opening up about their sexuality.
Lothian MSP Ms Dugdale who resigned as the leader of Scottish Labour on Tuesday, said she regretted not having "complete control" over coming out after quotes about her sexuality had been published in 2016.
"It wasn't the first time I'd been asked [by journalists] about my sexuality. I would always answer honestly, and then I would say, 'I'd prefer you didn't use that... I don't think it matters.'
"Up until that day, everybody had respected that, and then that one journalist had decided no, it was a story," she said.
Ms Dugdale said the night before publication she had decided to "make some phone calls" to inform people of her sexuality before it had been revealed in the media.
The Fabian Society said in a statement that the "wide-ranging and comprehensive on-the-record interview was conducted by an experienced, broadsheet journalist who followed usual journalistic practice".
The article's author, Mary Riddell, said "at no point during the interview or afterwards did [Ms Dugdale] ask me not to publish her comments, which were recorded with her agreement.
"Nor has she ever complained to me that her on-the-record comments relating to her relationship had been published."
Ms Dugdale is in a relationship with SNP MSP Jenny Gilruth.
The Labour politician said it was "fascinating" that public attention had focused on the couple's political divide, rather than their sexuality.
"People weren't in any way bothered that it was two women together.
"They were more intrigued it was two people from different political parties," she said, adding that this "definitely" showed how attitudes towards LGBT people had progressed.
British voters returned a record number of LGBT MPs to Parliament in the last general election with 45 gay, lesbian or bi-sexual MPs elected in June - six more than in the previous parliament.
Sir Alan Duncan, Conservative MP and Foreign Office Minister, said he came out as gay in 2002.
"I thought, 'I'm just going to say it. Whatever happens, happens,'"
"I'd reached the point, having been in Parliament for 10 years, where I thought I was senior enough not to be dismissed."
Sir Alan has continued to serve as an MP since that day, but believes his sexuality did go on to cost him a role as a whip in Sir John Major's government.
"I know I was blackballed from the whip's office," he said.
"Not by him, but by [others], who thought it would be too high-risk."
Sir Alan did face some hostility after he revealed his sexuality, with one article's headline reading: "I'm sorry Mr Duncan. if you're gay you are not a Tory."
But, he said, by now, with a number of gay MPs in Parliament, the UK could lead the way on LGBT rights.
"The UK can campaign [with countries without gay rights] and say, 'How dare you live in a country where you persecute gay people.'"
SNP MP Joanna Cherry told the programme she had previously believed she would be unable to have a political career because of her sexuality.
"When I realised I was gay and I saw what happened to [former Labour Party candidate] Peter Tatchell in the [1981] Bermondsey by-election, the terrible homophobia that he faced... I thought to myself a career in politics isn't going to be open to me.
"So I chose instead to concentrate on my legal career."
But in 2015 Ms Cherry stood for office, and was elected.
She said "like most gay MPs", she had since received homophobic abuse on Twitter, but was "very proud to be out as a lesbian in politics".
"I hope to be a role-model to younger women who can see you can be an out woman in public life," she said.
In 1984 Lord Chris Smith became the UK's first MP to come out as gay in office, and in 2005 spoke publicly about being HIV positive.
"Since then, I haven't regretted making that decision for a single moment," he told the Victoria Derbyshire programme.
It would be another 13 years until there was another openly gay MP - Labour's Stephen Twigg - and Lord Smith said he had initially been "terrified" of the reaction, but had received many positive letters.
"There was no social media in those days, thank goodness, but I did get letters from people from all around the country," he said.
"A lot of them saying, 'Well done, congratulations,' but the ones that really meant the most to me were the ones that said, 'Thank you, it's made it easier for me.'"

Police said the blaze spread from a plastic garden shed to a house in Limefield Crescent, Bathgate, at about 23:15 on Friday.
Two men, aged 32 and 29, and a 37-year-old woman, managed to get out of the house and call the emergency services.
Police are treating the incident as wilful fire-raising.
Det Con Craig O'Mara, from Livingston CID, said: "Thankfully none of the people in the house were injured but the fire has caused significant damage to the house as well as the shed in the garden.
"At this stage the motive has still to be established.
"Limefield Crescent is a residential area and although at this time of night there may not have been people out in the street, it is quite possible people in the houses around the area may have seen something out of the ordinary, someone they didn't recognise hanging about or indeed who started the fire."
Jim Parsons, who plays lead character Sheldon, Johnny Galecki (Leonard) and Kaley Cuoco (Penny) all agreed to new three-year deals with Warner Bros TV.
Actors Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are still involved in negotiations but are expected to settle shortly.
It was reported the stars were each seeking $1m (£600,000) per episode.
Such a settlement would make The Big Bang Theory's cast members the highest paid actors on US television.
Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco had been negotiating with the studio together, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which added that it was "likely" that a $1m per half-hour show deal had been sealed.
CBS, the show's broadcaster, has yet to comment on the terms of the new settlements.
The principal cast is expected to resume work on Wednesday, a week later than scheduled. It is unclear whether the delay will result in fewer episodes being recorded.
Its main stars did not return to the studios for the first days of filming for the eighth series last Wednesday while their contracts were still under negotiation.

The comedy - which centres on a group of high-functioning science "geeks"- is the most-watched TV show in the US, with an average audience of 23.1 million in 2013-14.
Earlier this year, the show was extended for a further three series, meaning it will now air until at least 2017.
As well as its ratings success, the show has been a favourite at the Emmy Awards, with Parsons winning three times for his portrayal of socially challenged particle physics genius Dr Sheldon Cooper.
The show has also been nominated for best comedy series but has yet to collect that accolade.
Anthony Grainger, 36, was shot once in the chest during a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) operation in Culcheth, Cheshire, in March 2012.
The inquiry into his death heard police believed he was preparing for an armed robbery.
The police watchdog made 16 findings critical of GMP.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found the marksman may have committed a criminal offence.
The case against the officer, referred to as Q9, was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service but it was decided not to proceed to trial.
Inquiry counsel Jason Beer said prosecutors decided not to bring charges as a jury "would accept that the officer did believe his actions were necessary and that the level of force used in response to the threat as he perceived it to be was proportionate".
The public inquiry at Liverpool Crown Court heard Mr Grainger, a father-of-two, was suspected of being about to take part in an armed robbery.
But Mr Beer said the IPCC investigation uncovered serious failings by GMP and individual officers.
The IPCC found the investigation, known as Operation Shire, relied heavily on "out of date" intelligence in relation to Mr Grainger and that briefings to officers contained "inaccurate information".
David Totton, Robert Rimmer and Joseph Travers, all from Manchester, were arrested at the scene but later found not guilty of conspiracy to rob following a trial at Manchester Crown Court in September 2012.
Sir Peter Fahy, who was the chief constable of Greater Manchester Police at the time of the shooting, had been charged with a health and safety offence.
But the case collapsed after it was ruled that police evidence was so secret that it would not be in the public interest for it to be revealed in court.
Mr Grainger's inquest was converted to a public inquiry in March 2016 by the then Home Secretary, Theresa May.
The inquiry, chaired by Judge Thomas Teague, is expected to run until 21 April.
Sudhir Choudhrie and his son Bhanu were arrested on Wednesday as part of an investigation into allegations of bribery in Indonesia and China.
The Choudhrie family and their businesses have donated more than £1.5m to the Liberal Democrats since 2004.
The men, who have been bailed without conditions, deny the allegations.
They were arrested as part of the serious fraud office's investigation into allegations of bribery in Asia by Rolls-Royce, which makes engines for military and commercial jets and ships
The Liberal Democrats confirmed they are aware of the SFO's investigation but say that whilst it is ongoing they cannot comment.
The Choudhrie family businesses, C&C Alpha Group, C&C Business Solutions & Alpha Healthcare, have donated more than £1.3m over the last 10 years.
This included donations in 2010, the general election year, totalling £415,000, which accounted for 8.5% of all the donations the Liberal Democrats received that year.
Sudhir Choudhrie and Bhuna Choudhrie have personally given £185,000 to the party since 2004.
Sudhir Choudhrie, 65, who is originally from India, lives in London and is reported to have arrived in the UK 10 years ago.
Home Secretary Theresa May presented him with a lifetime achievement award at the Asian Business awards in March last year.
In an interview after the ceremony, he said the secret of his success was ''hard work and nothing else but hard work''.
The family's portfolio of companies include businesses that specialise in providing services for the elderly and mentally ill.
The parent company of Alpha Hospitals Ltd is Harberry Investments which is registered in the British Virgin Islands, a tax haven.
More than 700 travelling fans watched Vale suffer their fifth straight away loss to slip back into the bottom four.
But Brown believes many fans are aware of the circumstances that he is working under, with his squad hit by injuries.
"We can see they're frustrated, 100%," Brown told BBC Radio Stoke.
"The ones who look into the true problems we have are very understanding of the situation," added the 40-year-old, who is still acting on a caretaker manager basis and awaiting a decision on his own future.
The loss of defender Andre Bikey late on in Vale's defeat on Saturday, to become the club's ninth current injury casualty, was the sparking point to the fans' anger.
But Brown is now ready to risk turning as his replacement to Remie Streete, who has been sidelined for three matches with a hamstring injury, when they host promoted Sheffield United on Good Friday.
"We hope to have Remie for Friday," Brown added. "We certainly need him."
Vale have only won three times in 2017 - but all three have been in the past month, in a run of good home form that has brought them 10 points out of a possible 12 at Vale Park.
Their biggest home test to date comes on Friday against the Blades, one of Brown's old clubs and the likely League One champions.
"Other teams are beating teams who are higher in the table," he said. "That's what we're going to have to do in the coming weeks.
"We knew it was going to go all the way, but there are games we can still win. We need to be as positive as we can."
Vale, in 21st, are one point behind three clubs - Bury, Shrewsbury Town and Gillingham.
Brown's men have a game in hand, away at Walsall on 25 April, but Vale have the second worst away record in the division, having picked up just nine points in 20 games.
They have lost last their past five away matches, having not won on their travels since beating MK Dons 1-0 on 9 October.
Under the plan, all migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey would be returned and for each Syrian sent back, a Syrian in Turkey would be resettled in the EU.
The UN's refugee agency said any collective expulsion of foreigners was "not consistent with European law".
Amnesty International called the plan a death blow to the right to seek asylum.
The deal, discussed at a summit in Brussels on Monday, has not been finalised and talks will continue ahead of an EU meeting on 17-18 March.
Europe is facing its biggest refugee crisis since World War Two. Last year, more than a million people entered the EU illegally by boat, mainly going from Turkey to Greece.
Nearly half of them were Syrian, fleeing the country's civil war. Another 2.7 million Syrian refugees are currently in Turkey.
Meanwhile Slovenia has announced new restrictions for migrants - only those seeking asylum in the country or arriving for humanitarian reasons will be allowed entry.
The move means the Balkans route from Greece to Western Europe is "shutting down" to migrants, Slovenian Prime Minister Miro Cerar said.
In response Serbia, though which migrants transit on the way north to Slovenia and beyond, announced its own restrictions for migrants arriving at its borders.
The future of the Schengen agreement - which allows passport-free travel in a 26-nation zone - is already in doubt, given that eight of its members have introduced temporary border controls.
The EU heads said "bold moves" were needed, and made the following proposals:
European Council President Donald Tusk insisted the leaders at the summit had made a "breakthrough", and he was hopeful of concluding the deal in the next week.
However, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was more circumspect, saying: "It is a breakthrough if it becomes reality."
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Turkey had taken a "game-changing" decision "to discourage illegal migration".
Vincent Cochetel, the UN's regional co-ordinator for the refugee crisis in Europe, said: "An agreement that would be tantamount to a blanket return of any foreigners to a third country is not consistent with European law."
Amnesty International said the plan was "wrought with moral and legal flaws".
Amnesty's Iverna McGowan said: "EU and Turkish leaders have sunk to a new low, effectively horse-trading away the rights and dignity of some of the world's most vulnerable people."
The EU believes the legal questions will be covered by declaring Turkey a "safe third country" for return. Amnesty says it strongly questions the whole concept of "safe third country".
Turkey is also not a full member of the Geneva Convention, which could raise more legal questions.
The system spelled out to the BBC by EU Commission spokesperson for migration Natasha Bertaud would see all migrants rescued in Greek waters taken to a Greek island for screening.
Irregular migrants would then be returned to Turkey to be screened again and "if they have no right to international protection" - which currently covers only Syrians - sent back to their country of origin.
All migrants rescued in Turkish waters would be taken back to Turkey, which would decide their status.
Serious questions remain. What will happen to the thousands of migrants already in Greece, which has struggled to shelter and register them?
The biggest problem will be the migrants themselves - having risked their lives and invested much of their money, will they not simply try other routes?
Vincent Cochetel said: "As long as the conflict is not solved, it's a myth to believe that people will not try to leave."
There is major opposition among some EU members to compulsory migrant quotas. Hungary says it vetoed the Turkish resettlement proposal on Monday and may do so again at the next EU meeting.
Turkey's bid for EU membership is another thorny issue, not helped by the recent wrangle over the court-ordered seizure of the opposition Zaman newspaper.
More problematic is Turkey's request for visa-free access for all its citizens to the EU's Schengen zone, which it hopes to achieve by June. This may draw a lot of opposition.
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. | Bravery claimed a narrow victory from race favourite Oh This Is Us in the Lincoln Handicap as the new Flat season got under way at Doncaster.

Easily pre-dating the dinosaurs, the 1.5cm creature lived alongside the oldest known ancestors of modern spiders but its lineage is now extinct.
The specimen was dug up decades ago in France but never identified, because its front half was encased in rock.
Now, researchers have made a detailed reconstruction using CT scans.
Their findings are reported in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
"This fossil is the most closely related thing we have to a spider that isn't a spider," said first author Russell Garwood from the University of Manchester.
Now christened Idmonarachne brasieri, the arachnid was among "a box full of fossils" that Dr Garwood's co-author Paul Selden, from the University of Kansas in the US, had borrowed from the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris in the 1980s.
It originally came from a rich region of fossil-bearing deposits near Montceau les-Mines, in eastern France.
"By CT scanning it, you can actually extract the full front half of the animal from the rock, to try and better understand its anatomy," Dr Garwood told BBC News.
First of all, as well as the animal's eight spidery limbs, he and his colleagues spotted some imposing jaws. These confirmed that it was a new species and not one of the more distant cousins of spiders known from the same period.
It also lacked the tail-like appendage of the older, similarly long-extinct arachnid family that included Attercopus, living some 80 million years earlier. Those earlier critters could produce silk, probably to line their burrows or make a trail to follow home, but did not have the spinnerets that allow spiders to weave webs.
As such, Dr Garwood explained, the new arrival I. brasieri fills a gap - having spider-like legs and jaws but still lacking spinnerets.
"Our creature probably split off the spider line after [Attercopus], but before true spiders appeared," he said.
"The earliest known spider is actually from the same fossil deposit - and it definitely has spinnerets. So what we're actually looking at is an extinct lineage that split off the spider line some time before 305 million years ago, and those two have evolved in parallel."
To confirm that the extinct critter definitely lacked spinnerets, the team switched from a regular laboratory CT scanner to using the high-powered X-rays of the Diamond synchrotron in Oxfordshire.
"We had to consider the fact they could have fallen out, and just left a hole in the abdomen," Dr Garwood said. "You need a quite high-resolution scan to be able to spot that distortion."
With all the evidence in place, the team was able to name their discovery. They chose to commemorate a colleague: Martin Brasier, an Oxford palaeobiologist who died recently in a car accident.
"He was a very supportive academic," said Dr Garwood.

Andrew Pimlott, 32, was holding a match when a police officer fired the electric stun gun at him in Plymouth, Devon in April 2013.
An inquest jury in Plymouth heard two police officers went to a house after Mr Pimlott's father called 999.
His father Kelvin said his son had a can of petrol and was going to set fire to the building.
Mr Pimlott, who was single and unemployed, died in hospital five days after being Tasered.
The hearing was told Mr Pimlott had been served with a restraining order preventing him contacting his parents or going within 100m (330ft) of their home.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission told the inquest Mr Pimlott had a history of depression and issues with alcohol.
A pathologist told the hearing at Plymouth Coroner's Court that it was not possible to say from the medical evidence whether Mr Pimlott had caught fire as a result of being Tasered or from the match he was holding.
Ambulance technician James Dyson, who treated him, recalled a conversation with Mr Pimlott.
"He said he had covered himself in petrol, over his head, and when the Taser was fired it had lit the petrol and clothing that was on him. This was all he remembered," he told the court.
"He said he had wanted to end it all. Mr Pimlott did not say he had lit himself. He stated the Taser had lit the fuel."
Home Office pathologist Dr Russell Delaney told the inquest jury that Mr Pimlott died as a result of severe burns.
The inquest continues.
Sir Christopher Pitchford said his diagnosis last November meant he would eventually have to stand down from the complex and already-delayed probe.
In a personal statement, the senior judge said he regretted he would not be able to complete the inquiry's work.
The inquiry said that a successor would be identified to begin the work of taking over in due course.
The inquiry headed by the Court of Appeal judge is investigating serious allegations relating to undercover operations - some dating back 40 years.
The inquiry said both the home secretary and lord chief justice had been informed of Sir Christopher's illness.
It is said not to have affected his running of the inquiry so far - although the judge's physical symptoms have been becoming apparent.
The home secretary has been asked to appoint another judge to work alongside Sir Christopher and succeed him when he ultimately stands down.
In a personal statement, Sir Christopher said: "I very much regret that my diagnosis and the progression of my physical symptoms mean that I shall not be able to complete the work of the inquiry.
"However, I wish to assure the inquiry's core participants and the public that the inquiry's work continues unabated and that, with the support of the home secretary and the lord chief justice, for which I am grateful, the transitional arrangements that are being put in place will ensure its continuity when the time comes for me to step down as chairman."
Theresa May appointed Sir Christopher in 2015 when she was home secretary, asking him to report by the summer of next year.
The inquiry is already substantially behind schedule because of a complex legal stand-off with Scotland Yard over how many former officers from the controversial unit at the heart of some of the allegations should give evidence.
That issue is expected to come to a head in a public hearing later in the spring which is expected to still take place with Sir Christopher at the helm.
Leader Natalie Bennett said the Greens offered British people "a chance to vote for real change".
Green candidates are standing in 571 seats - up from the 335 contested in 2010 - yet the party has only one MP, Caroline Lucas, in Brighton Pavilion.
Ms Bennett insisted that her party will "stand up for what matters".
She spoke out ahead of a visit to a Bristol food distribution centre with cook and blogger Jack Monroe, who has switched her allegiance from Labour to the Greens.
Poverty gap
"In less than 24 hours, people in Britain have a chance to vote for real change and to elect more Green MPs into the House of Commons," Ms Bennett said.
"Those Green MPs will do all they can to keep out the Tories, and they'd hold a Labour minority government to account on issues like austerity, climate change and investment in our health service."
Ms Bennett, on the campaign trail with Darren Hall, her party's candidate in Bristol West, was critical of the fact so many people were having to resort to using food banks. A list of the candidates standing in Bristol West can be found here.
"One of the defining issues of this election is the gaping gap between rich and poor in this country," she said.
"We have 147 billionaires in the same country where one million people need food banks to feed their families.
"Only the Greens are putting forward the bold solutions we desperately need to tackle inequality in Britain.
"That means a living wage of £10 an hour by 2020, a welfare state that truly supports people and a tax system which ensures that the richest individuals and largest corporations pay their fair share," added Ms Bennett, who is standing in Holborn and St Pancras.

Shiv Kumar Yadav has also been convicted of criminal intimidation and kidnapping. He had pleaded not guilty.
A 26-year-old woman was taken to a secluded area and raped after booking a journey home with Uber in December.
Delhi later banned Uber and several other web-based taxi firms, accusing them of failing to carry out adequate driver checks.
The company apologised for the incident at the time and acknowledged that it "must do better".
The president of Uber India, Amit Jain, welcomed the verdict.
"Sexual assault is a terrible crime and we're pleased he has now been brought to justice.
"Safety is a priority for Uber and we've made many improvements - in terms of new technology, enhanced background checks and better 24/7 customer support - as a result of the lessons we learned from this awful case."
The woman had also filed a lawsuit against the service in a US court, which was later settled out of court.
The issue of sexual assault has been high on the agenda in India since a 23-year-old student was gang-raped and murdered on a bus in Delhi in December 2012.
The case prompted global outrage and a tightening of laws on sexual violence.
Correspondents say tougher laws have failed to bring down the number of rape cases and a series of high-profile crimes have taken place since then.
Last week there was outrage in the capital after two children were raped on the same day.
A week earlier, a child was raped and slashed with a sharp object, and found unconscious near a railway track.
The Department of Justice called the scheme "bribery by any other name" and said it threatened national security.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Justice Department (DoJ) began an investigation in 2013.
The bank will pay the SEC $130m for violations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
It is also expected to pay $72m to the US Justice Department and $61.9m to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which effectively bans US companies from paying foreign government officials to help them secure business, is one of the strictest bribery laws in the world.
JP Morgan was found to have designed a scheme to hire otherwise unqualified candidates for prestigious investment banking jobs solely because they were introduced to the bank by officials who could give it business.
JPMorgan did not pay Chinese officials directly, but the US authorities decided what it was doing amounted to the same thing.
In some cases, the DoJ said that candidates were hired on the understanding that the job was linked to the award of specific business. It said amounted to corruption.
The SEC said that over seven years, about 100 interns and full-time employees were hired at the request of foreign government officials, enabling JP Morgan to win or retain business that generated more than $100m in revenues.
It said: "JP Morgan employees knew the firm was potentially violating the [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act], yet persisted with the improper hiring program because the business rewards and new deals were deemed too lucrative."
Kara Brockmeyer, of the SEC, said the misconduct was "so blatant that JP Morgan investment bankers created 'referral hires vs revenue' spreadsheets" to track the money flow.
The DoJ's William Sweeney said: "When foreign officials are among those involved in the bribe, the international free market system and our national security are among the major threats we face."
Shares in JP Morgan rose 1.1% in New York to $78.25 and are up by almost a fifth this year.
Craig Ison, 52, suffered serious leg and arm injuries during the attack off Evans Head early on Friday.
Geoff Hill, a friend of Mr Ison who saw the incident, told local media it was "like watching a Mick Fanning replay".
Earlier this month, Australian three-time world champion surfer Mick Fanning escaped unharmed after punching a shark during a competition in South Africa.
He managed to scramble on board a jet-ski during the major surfing event in Jeffreys Bay, that was being broadcast live.
Mr Ison made it back to shore where a passerby applied a tourniquet to his leg, said the police statement. He remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Mr Hill told the Northern Star newspaper: "We were just paddling out this morning and Craig was 20m ahead of me."
"But it grabbed him as he turned around," he said, saying Mr Ison was pulled under the water.
"I paddled to him but by then he was on his board and paddling back.
"It was like watching a Mick Fanning replay."
Main Beach, Shark Bay and Chinamans Beach in the area have since been closed.
The manager of the Riverfront Kiosk in Evans Head, Bart Easdown, told ABC TV that locals had been talking about putting drones in the air to spot sharks.
"Is is very confronting ... but everyone is aware there are sharks in the water. I don't want to see any loss of life whether it is people or sharks," he said.
Earlier this month bodyboarder Matt Lee, 32, underwent surgery after being bitten on both legs by a great white shark off nearby Ballina.
In February, 41-year-old Japanese tourist Tadashi Nakahara was killed by a shark at Shelly Beach in Ballina.
The government's main arguments in favour of HS2 - increasing railway capacity and rebalancing the economy - were still to be proven, peers said.
There are less-expensive options than HS2, they said on Wednesday.
A government spokesman said HS2 would deliver big benefits.
Lord Hollick, chairman of the Lords' committee, said overcrowding on the West Coast Main Line was largely a problem on commuter trains and on long-distance services on Friday nights and some weekends.
"The Government have not carried out a proper assessment of whether alternative ways of increasing capacity are more cost-effective than HS2," he said.
"In terms of rebalancing, London is likely to be the main beneficiary from HS2. Investment in improving rail links in the North of England might deliver much greater economic benefit at a fraction of the cost."
Committee member and Labour peer Lord McFall told Wake Up to Money on BBC Radio 5 live that the committee was not against HS2 in principle, but that the government needed a firmer transport strategy if it wanted to achieve its aim of rebalancing the economy.
"We're against the government initiating public projects at £50bn without adequate assessment against their objectives," he said.
"Can you imagine going forward with a project of this magnitude without a national transport strategy?" Lord McFall added.
"If we're going to rebalance the economy, then we must have a fundamental appraisal of the impact in the North, and that hasn't taken place to date,"
Lord Hollick called on the Department for Transport to provide detailed answers to the questions set out by the committee.
"Parliament should not approve the enabling legislation that will allow HS2 work to begin until we have satisfactory answers to these key questions," he said.
The peer sets out arguments against the investment in a YouTube video.
A Department for Transport spokesman said the case for HS2 was "crystal clear" and claimed it would have a "transformational effect".
"It is a vital part of the government's long-term economic plan, strongly supported by Northern and Midland cities, alongside our plans for better east-west rail links confirmed in the Northern Transport Strategy last week.
"Demand for long distance rail travel has doubled in the past 15 years... it is crucial we press ahead with delivering HS2 on time and budget and we remain on track to start construction in 2017," the spokesman said.
Shadow transport secretary Michael Dugher said that Labour supported HS2. However, he added: "It's vital that ministers win public confidence for this important investment and ensure that the economic benefits are felt as widely as possible. We have said there will be no blank cheque for the project under Labour."
Rhian Kelly, CBI director for business environment, said a modern railway was needed to deal with lack of capacity on the West Coast Mainline.
"HS2 will better connect eight of our 10 biggest cities, boosting local economies along and beyond the route together with complementary road and rail investment. It's vital we avoid any further delays to the project," she said.
The Lords report echoed a similar report published by the Commons Public Accounts Committee in January.
The MPs said that ministers lacked a "clear strategic plan for the rail network" and were "sceptical" about whether HS2 would deliver value for money.
The £50bn price tag included a "generous contingency" that could be used to mask cost increases, they added.
The first phase of HS2 will be between London and Birmingham opening in 2026, followed by a V-shaped section to Manchester and Yorkshire.
It promises to reduce journey times between Birmingham and London from 81 minutes to 49 minutes, and slash the trip to Manchester by an hour to just 68 minutes.
Defoe, 32, met a Steven Fletcher header to thump a looping shot into the top corner from 22 yards as Sunderland won for the first time in nine games.
His third goal for the club gave recently appointed boss Dick Advocaat a first win as Sunderland moved to 15th.
Newcastle rarely threatened as they slumped to a fourth straight loss.
Newcastle's recent record in the derby is nothing short of disastrous and their latest defeat will have done nothing to enhance caretaker-manager John Carver's seemingly slim prospects of getting the job on a permanent basis.
Carver, a Geordie, had promised no lack of effort and enthusiasm from his side in their effort to avoid a winless run in the fixture now extending back seven matches to August 2011.
But that was about all they did produce, not having a shot on target until the 78th minute as Advocaat was allowed to make the perfect start at the Stadium of Light.

Like his two predecessors - Gus Poyet and Paolo Di Canio - the Dutchman was able to celebrate a win over Newcastle in his second match in charge.
The contrast from Sunderland's last home game could hardly have been greater when a 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa cost Poyet his job.
Advocaat has been appointed until the end of the season with a brief to lead the Black Cats to safety and their supporters, who had walked out in droves in Poyet's final match as manager, will now believe they can do it after they moved three points clear of the relegation places.

Defoe's goal - his second at the Stadium of Light since the former England striker signed for Sunderland from Toronto FC in January - gave the Black Cats only their second win in 14 Premier League wins since they won at St James' Park just before Christmas.
His sublime effort was Sunderland's second goal in seven league games and reduced the striker to tears as the emotion and importance of the moment hit home.
The goal lit up an otherwise uninspired first half in which Defoe had failed to make the most of an earlier opportunity set up by Fletcher and Connor Wickham sent a deflected header against the outside of a post.
But Sunderland deserved their win which could have been more emphatic had they pressed home their superiority after the break.
The tireless Fletcher fluffed a chance to volley home Jordi Gomez's cross and then shot over.
Patrick van Aanholt also sliced a shot wide and Seb Larsson curled a free-kick past the post before picking up a 10th yellow card of the season to earn a two-match ban.
Newcastle finally tested goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon through Remy Cabella's shot on the turn but saw their last chance of an equaliser disappear three minutes from time when Ayoze Perez volleyed over from a corner.
Amos was replaced after just 48 minutes of his tournament debut against Italy.
"It was frustrating, I'm not going to lie, I would have liked to have a full 80 and a good run," admitted Amos.
"But it's always nice to make my debut and I'm only 21 so I've got time on my side."
Amos was one of four wings used by Wales in the 2016 Six Nations alongside ever-present George North, Tom James and Alex Cuthbert.
Blues wing Cuthbert has been ruled out of the summer matches against England and New Zealand after having surgery on a knee injury.
And Amos has been in prolific form since returning to his region, scoring two tries in each of the Dragons' Pro12 games against Edinburgh and Ospreys.
However, he is cautious about the value of his regional form in the competition for back-three places in Warren Gatland's team.
"There's a certain Leigh Halfpenny coming back for the summer tour and he's one of the best players in the world so he'll come straight back into the jersey," he said.
"I can keep pushing for my place, get on the summer tour and hopefully test myself against the world's best.
"In Welsh rugby things can change in a matter of days, there's so many players playing well.
"There's so much competition you can't count your chickens before the squad's announced."
Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones labelled Amos' performance against the Ospreys as "his best game for us" while Ospreys backs coach Gruff Rees said his finishing was "world-class."
Amos' eye for the line will be one of the Dragons' main assets as they head to Gloucester for a European Challenge Cup quarter-final, with both teams on a losing run.
"I prefer it when we play an expansive game, we can create things when we play with a bit of width.
"I hope we can go to Gloucester, not go into our shells and give the fans something good to watch.

"I've never played there but a lot of the boys who went to my school (Monmouth) were from the Gloucester and Forest of Dean area and are big Gloucester fans- so they'll be hoping I muck up!
"The rivalry will add a bit of spice."
Medical student Amos, who is trying to follow the example of Jamie Roberts in qualifying as a doctor while playing professional rugby, is hoping to be free of his studies during the summer Tests.
"I was talking to (Ospreys flanker) Sam Underhill about this, he's at university as well and he's swamped with exams," he added.
"But we do three exams in the third year, you have to pass two and luckily I've already passed two so I'm in a fairly comfortable position at the moment."
Beckenham's County Ground will host the 50-over matches on 21 and 23 May as Sri Lanka warm up for June's ICC Champions Trophy, held in England and Wales.
The two sides last met at the 2015 World Cup, when Sri Lanka won by 148 runs in Hobart.
"To secure two opportunities to play Sri Lanka is so valuable for our team," head coach Grant Bradburn told Cricket Scotland's website.
"Our national team are desperate to play as much quality cricket as possible to keep advancing and the growing skills and depth across our whole Scotland performance squads.
"Despite these games not being official one-day internationals, we will treat them as if they are. Any chance to play a full member team is brilliant for our development and we look forward to fielding a side that resembles our strongest possible line-up.
"Wherever we play in the world there are Scots who love cricket and we look forward to welcoming them to Beckenham for what we are sure will be two great occasions."
The Champions Trophy will be held from 1-18 June, and Sri Lanka will play India, Pakistan and South Africa in Group B.
The RSPCA said the six-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier-cross was found at 22.30 BST on Tuesday by a member of the public on Dorset Road, Saltley, Birmingham.
He was taken to the city's animal hospital but had to be put to sleep by a vet on Wednesday morning.
The charity said it was investigating the "sickening" case.
It said when officers found the dog he was alive in the tightly-tied bag but "in a bad way" with three large wounds.
RSPCA inspector Mike Scargill, who is investigating, said: "Quite simply, this poor dog was left to die in a bin bag alone at the side of a road.
"He was dumped like a piece of rubbish.
"It is not acceptable to treat an animal in this way and I am sure that many people will be sickened to hear that someone did this to an innocent dog.
"This dog suffered a great deal unnecessarily and we are keen to find out who did this.
"We are appealing to anyone who may have information regarding the extremely callous and degrading behaviour that this poor dog was subjected to during the last days of his life to contact us."
Tara the horse, aged 22, got into difficulty between 20m and 30m down in the Cammachmore area of Aberdeenshire on Thursday afternoon.
Several units from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service - including a specialist team from Perth alongside Aberdeen and Peterhead crews - headed to the scene.
Helpers managed to attach a sling to the horse.
With the assistance of a digger and a local farmer, they then managed to pull it to safety.
The horse was being assessed by a vet. Her owner expressed thanks for the rescue effort.
The former England captain died in January aged 77 after a short illness.
Heyhoe Flint played in 22 Tests and 23 one-day internationals, and became the first woman to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame in 2010.
The announcement came at Lord's where the launch of this summer's Women's World Cup in England took place.
The hosts will play India at Derby in the first match of the tournament on 24 June.
Baroness Heyhoe Flint, as she became in 2011, was vice-president of her beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, and captained England to victory at the inaugural World Cup in 1973 - an event only made possible after she persuaded her friend and fellow Wolves devotee Sir Jack Hayward to sponsor the tournament.
However, it continued to struggle with a target to increase the exporting performance of local firms.
The agency created 9,410 jobs, up 40% on the figure of 6,775 in 2013.
Jobs promoted - which reflects jobs announced but not yet created - were up 30% to 13,829.
Invest NI had a target of promoting 25,000 jobs between 2011 and 2015 - it exceeded that figure by almost 50%, reaching 37,277.
Alastair Hamilton, the chief executive of Invest NI, described 2014 as "a phenomenal year".
He said almost all the jobs promoted would ultimately deliver more than £300m of annual salaries to the Northern Ireland economy.
Just over 8,000 of the jobs promoted came from local firms, including major investments from Randox, First Derivatives and Kainos.
Invest NI has had a strong two years, helped by improvements in the US and UK economies.
Another major factor was companies pushing through projects ahead of the tightening of European rules on grants, which took effect in June 2014.
Invest NI exceeded most of the four-year targets set for it by the Northern Ireland Executive, including increasing investment in research and development.
Invest NI chairman Mark Ennis said the targets had been set when the economy was "in the depths of a recession" and looked "very challenging" at that time.
The target for manufacturing export growth over the four years was 20% but just 4.9% was achieved.
That has been influenced by the weakness in Eurozone markets and, more recently, by the appreciation of sterling against the euro.
The agency is to introduce a new way of measuring exports which should help capture the value of service sector exports that are not included in the current data.

Actors Stephanie Cole, Samantha Bond and Greta Scacchi all trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and are now backing its funding appeal.
The venue marks its 250th anniversary this year and wants to raise funds for the next phase of its redevelopment.
Ms Bond, who played Lady Rosamund in Downton Abbey, said: "We need to raise a bit more money and that's it sorted."
The Old Vic opened in 1766 and claims to be the UK's oldest working theatre.
It was closed for an 18-month refurbishment between 2010 and 2012 and is currently raising £12.5m to transform its front of house spaces.
Ms Bond, a former theatre student, said it was "the most beautiful theatre to play".
"It's a bit like playing to a very warm armchair - the auditorium envelops the audience and makes it an absolute joy for the actor," she said.
Stephanie Cole, who starred in Tenko and Coronation Street, also began her career at the Old Vic.
"The first time I stood on the stage and was paid for it was here - when I was 17," she said.
"And when I finished at the Vic School I joined the company for a year - it is the most wonderful theatre. What can I say it's a jewel - it's magic."
Greta Scacchi, best known for her lead role in the film White Mischief, also described the theatre as a "place of magic".
"It's fortunate Bristol not only has this theatre - this historic jewel of an auditorium - but that it's in a city of this size where it's a focal point and people can feel very proud of it," she said.
The state new agency Sana said a "terrorist bombing" attack had taken place in the Tadamon district in the south of the capital.
Tadamon has been a battleground between rebel forces and the army for months.
Later on Tuesday, the UN General Assembly is due to meet, with much of its focus on the Syria crisis.
The UK-based activist group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, says a car bomb killed at least seven people and wounded 15, some of them critically.
More than 100,000 people have died in the conflict, according to the UN, and millions have fled the country or been made homeless.
The evident falsity of this idea is easily demonstrated by the last two referendums in mainland Britain - on a proposal to introduce a change in the electoral system in 2011 and on Scottish independence last year. Neither of these issues could possibly be described as having been resolved.
But it is the 1975 referendum on Britain's continued membership of Europe that provides the best example.
Even with a stonking majority of two-to-one (67.2% to 32.8%) in favour of remaining within what was then called the European Community, and on a decent 65% turnout, Roy Jenkins' vainglorious claim at the time that "it puts the uncertainty behind us, it commits Britain to Europe" appears now to be merely a statement of hope over expectation.
The contrary has proved to be the case.
A disquiet runs like a fault line through British public opinion from Parliament to the pub, and so it is that Prime Minister David Cameron has embarked upon a second European referendum campaign asking almost exactly the same question and for precisely the same reason as his predecessor Harold Wilson in 1975.
He wants to hold his party together sufficiently to be able to run his government effectively, just as Wilson did 40 years ago. The main difference between then and now is that all the trouble came previously from radicals who were mostly on the left, while the government's problems today are the go-it-alone nationalists who are mostly on the political right.
There is also the question of British public opinion.
In 1975, most of the establishment was in favour of staying in the "Common Market" we had joined two years earlier. It was a philosophy, a commitment, a vision of post-War international consensus.
But there was opposition and some of it from powerful places.
Enoch Powell resigned as a Conservative MP before the first 1974 election, with a clarion call urging the country to vote Labour because of its opposition to Europe. There were a few other radical right-wing opposing voices.
Most significantly, there was the Labour and trade union movement.
Labour promised in the October 1974 election to hold a consultative referendum if a renegotiation of terms of membership was deemed acceptable by the government.
Roy Jenkins resigned as deputy leader in consequence, correctly suspecting that this was a cosmetic exercise to appease the party's left wing and the-then powerful trade unions.
Wilson undertook to use his "best endeavours" in the renegotiation process, which became a phrase in ironic daily use. In reality, best endeavours boiled down to securing some minor protection for New Zealand butter.
It was enough, however, to secure the passage of the legislation to hold the referendum, which was carried with the support of the majority of Conservative MPs, including their new leader, Margaret Thatcher.
More Labour MPs were opposed than in favour (148 against; 138 for) and 32 abstained.
At a tense special Labour conference, just two months before the referendum, the party voted against Europe by nearly two-to-one, a majority hugely assisted by the fact that 39 of the party's 46 affiliated trade unions voted against. It was a triumph for the left.
It meant that Wilson had to suspend the doctrine of collective ministerial responsibility to allow seven - nearly a third - of the 23 members of his cabinet to campaign against official government policy, (as, in my view, Cameron would be wise also to concede).
It allowed the late Alistair McAlpine, treasurer of the "Yes" campaign, later Treasurer of the Tory Party and later still an enthusiastic member of Sir James Goldsmith's anti-European Referendum Party, to portray Labour's opponents of Europe - Michael Foot, Tony Benn, Barbara Castle and Peter Shore among them - as "dangerous people" who were "virtually Marxist".
British public opinion was led then by the establishment view of the safe option, as it undoubtedly will be in the coming referendum - which Mr Cameron will probably call as early as next May to coincide with Scottish and local elections - despite the shifts in the sands of political opinion in the intervening years.
This is a factor that will help Mr Cameron, as it helped Wilson, to secure the same endorsement.
Mr Cameron has the additional assistance of the support of the Scottish Nationalist Party, whose political significance is considerably greater today than 40 years ago when they voted "No", of the Democratic Unionists and Plaid Cymru (also opposed to Europe in 1975) and the Greens.
Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP, is regarded by many as being rather too populist to lead a responsible opposition to the massed forces of the political establishment, the City and the business community.
Yet the public support for the case his party has made in succession to the Referendum Party is constant.
There remains a profound antipathy to the European Union, which Mr Cameron will need to address.
The amorphous changes he is seeking in Europe - reforming benefits, bureaucracy and busybody Brussels - can easily be achieved within his meaningless overall objective of resisting "ever closer union".
It may be enough to buy off an obedient electorate. But for how long this time?

I wonder if anyone's mentioned this to the European Court of Human Rights, who seem to be in the process of setting rather an interesting precedent.
The Grand Chamber of the ECHR has issued what amounts to a preliminary judgement overturning disciplinary action by the Parliament of Hungary against two groups of opposition MPs who staged demonstrations against the ruling FIDESZ party. Among other things they unfurled banners, used megaphones in the chamber and placed a small wheelbarrow full of soil in front of the prime minister.
The Parliament punished them with fines ranging from 170 to 600 euros - and the MPs complained to the court that the decision violated their rights under Article 10 of the European Convention (Freedom of Speech) and under Article 13 (right to an effective remedy) because they had no mechanism to appeal against their fines.
The Court upheld their complaints and ordered the fines to be repaid.
Now, this may all have taken place in a faraway country, of which we know nothing, but imagine the fun if the ECHR did something similar to an MP who had been named by the Speaker, sent out of the Chamber and "suspended from the service of the House"; a punishment which includes a loss of salary.
For centuries, Parliament and the UK courts have gone to some trouble to avoid treading on each others' toes; it's hard to imagine an incursion by the ECHR not causing quite a detonation.
Global Witness and the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) talked to loggers, government agencies and traders to compile their report.
In China, they discovered beds on sale for $1m, made from Madagascan wood.
The report was launched at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meeting in Nagoya, Japan.
Madagascan politics is split between factions associated with ex-President Marc Ravalomana and the rival who ousted him in a 2009 coup, Andry Rajoelina.
Conservation groups have previously warned that illegal extraction of timber and wildlife could flourish in this milieu, but the EIA/Global Witness is the first investigation to show the scale of the problem.
"The pre-existing problem of illegal logging was turned into a flood of tree-cutting in national parks, and a flood of wood out of Madagascar to China and the West," said Alexander von Bismarck, EIA's executive director.
Felling the three species concerned - ebony, rosewood and pallisander - is forbidden, but the government has issued permits cheaply for traders to export stockpiles, which led to further logging.
The two organisations were asked by Madagascar's national parks service to conduct the investigation.
This official endorsement enabled them to access records in government departments, such as cargo manifests and trade data.
But most of the details emerged through contact with the loggers and traders, who appeared - in written accounts and in video produced during the investigations - not at all concerned with keeping their activities under wraps.
Instead they were keen to take the investigators, posing as buyers, into the heart of the logging zone.
"Within one day we had the staff of the top boss in [the town of] Antalaha saying 'we'll take you into the National Park and show you where we cut wood for this German buyer'," Mr von Bismarck recounted.
The result was a four-day trek into Masoala National Park, part of a Unesco World Heritage Site - one where logging is seen to have been so serious that it was recently placed on the World Heritage In Danger list.
EIA and Global Witness also went undercover in China and other countries, discussing with people in the furniture trade where the wood came from and how much it was worth.
In China, its prime use is as reproduction furniture that can fetch extraordinary prices - such as the $1m bed.
An estimated 98% of the wood ended up in China, with the remainder going to the US and EU nations.
The recently-implemented Lacey Act, which makes an offence of importing illegally-logged timber, has reportedly deterred many buyers in the US. Last year it led to authorities mounting a raid on the world-famous Gibson guitar company over allegedly illegal Madagascan rosewood.
Speaking to BBC News at the CBD meeting here, Madagascar's director-general of forests, Julien Noel Rakotoarisoa, acknowledged the report broadly gave a "pretty accurate account" of the situation as it was.
But, he said, things were changing.
The last export permit was issued a year ago, and no more would be forthcoming.
A few months ago, he said, a consignment of 300 tonnes of rosewood that had left Madagascar without going through customs was intercepted in the Comoros Islands nearby - a sign that illegal exports would be tackled.
He appealed to China to block the imports.
"If only they try to to work with the international community [on this]," he said.
"If they could... forbid importation, that would be a big step towards improving the situation."
This was a theme taken up by Alexander von Bismarck.
"In 2009, China issued a code of conduct for timber companies overseas," he said.
"If there is one example of a code of conduct being broken, it is clearly the companies that are stealing Madagascar's wood."
According to EIA's calculations, less than 1% of the wood's final value remains in Madgascar.
The Chinese delegation at the CBD meeting here did not respond to requests for comment.
Meanwhile, the Madagascan authorities are asking for the three woods to be placed on Appendix Three of the Convention on Interntional Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which would require importing countries to obtain certificates tracking the wood from its point of origin.
Such certificates could not then be issued in Madagascar, as harvesting the trees is illegal.
But John Scanlon, CITES secretary-general, said the government had yet to submit the information required to secure listing.
"Madgascar has indicated an interest in putting these species on Appendix Three, but a number of things have to be done before they're eligible for listing," he told BBC News.
"We haven't yet got enough information to be able to proceed."
Mr Rakotoarisoa said he hoped the requisite documents would be with CITES early in the New Year.
Meanwhile, despite the withholding of export permits, illegal logging continues, according to Alexander von Bismarck.
"Less than two weeks ago, we had reports, with GPS co-ordinates, of logging within the National Park," he said.
Russ Mittermeier, president of Conservation International which runs a number of projects in Madagascar, said the country's political instability was having an impact on nature that went far beyond hardwood species.
"Perhaps even more serious is the illegal hunting of some of the country's most endangered and most charismatic flagship species that inevitably accompanies these logging activities," he said.
"For instance, the report provided evidence of lemur hunting in Masaola National Park, with the preferred target being the spectacular red ruffed lemur, a species found nowhere else in the world.
"The loss of this animal and many others threatened by such hunting would have serious consequences for Madagascar's ecotourism industry, one of its most important long-term sustainable sources of foreign exchange."
Bad weather in Europe has already caused a #courgette crisis, alongside a shortage of broccoli, tomatoes, salad peppers and aubergines.
With vegetable shortages expected to continue until April, what alternatives are there for shoppers?
During the UK's winter months of December, January and February, UK farmers produce beetroot, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celeriac, chicory, fennel, Jerusalem artichokes, kale, leeks, parsnips, potatoes, red cabbage, swede and turnips.
We've become a "slightly strange group", expecting all-year-round produce, according to Lord Haskins, the former chairman of Northern Foods, which supplies Tesco.
"Thirty years ago you'd never have worried about buying lettuce in the middle of the winter - lettuces were things that grew in the summer and you ate them in the summer - you ate cauliflowers and Brussels sprouts in the winter," he says.
As for courgettes, they are actually "very, very out of season", says organic vegetable retailer Riverford. We have just got used to supermarkets supplying them all year round.
Eating British produce that's in season is often cheaper, as it is produced locally - and it can be healthier too.
According to food industry campaign group Love British Food, fruit and vegetables that are in season contain the nutrients, minerals and trace elements that our bodies need at particular times of year.
Apples, for example, are packed with vitamin C to boost our resistance to winter colds.
The group's Alexia Robinson recommends beetroot, kale, cabbages, broccoli and traditional root vegetables for their health-giving properties.
Riverford says a slaw made with cabbage, beetroot or swede will offer "10 times more nutrients" than an iceberg lettuce - which it says aren't known for their nutritional value.
If you are really keen on iceberg lettuces, you can probably pay a bit more for one from Peru or South Africa, says Lord Haskins.
But imported vegetables can clock up a lot of air miles before they land on your plate - making them worse for the environment.
Hatty Richards, from the Community Farm in Chew Magna, Somerset, says buying local is better.
"We have such a range on our doorsteps already, it's fresher, it's really good for the environment - it reduces air miles - and it supports local business which is crucial."
Lord Haskins agrees, and suggests your tastebuds may also be grateful:
"We all buy stuff from far parts. They don't taste nearly as good: strawberries at this time of year from Egypt don't taste anything like as good as a British strawberry in May, June, July."
A leafy salad is nice - but there are plenty of alternative dishes to try.
Riverford's Guy Watson thinks the UK's more bitter winter salad leaves and root vegetables can provide "a far superior substitute" which will easily make up for a lack of lettuce.
Vibrant winter coleslaws and cauliflower salads "bring British veg to life", he says, adding that one of the Riverford Field Kitchen's most popular winter dishes is a kale caesar salad.
Kale, which was originally used to feed cows, is a robust, hardy winder leaf that can withstand frosty weather. It can also be used in soups, stews, stir fries, gratins or just wilted with butter.
For Ms Robinson suggests embracing winter comfort food with a "good old fashioned winter stew with plenty of root vegetables with tender meat".
If you're still not convinced you can do without leafy salads, try growing your own.
Those who do want to eat lettuce need not despair. According to the campaign group Eat Seasonably, lettuce, rocket and other crunchy salad leaves are some of the easiest things to grow at home, all year around - on a seed tray indoors, on your window sill or in the garden.
Ms Robinson says: "As well as the cress there are many great veg that can be easily grown in window boxes such as leaf lettuce, radishes, spinach, green onions and of course a good selection of herbs."
Another easy win is beetroot, Eat Seasonably says, which can be grown in a big pot. Though beetroot is harvested in October, Riverford says it can last up to four months if it's kept in a cold storage.
"Carrots are not too hard to grow either," Riverford's Emily Muddeman said, "Leeks, kale - you could plant just four or five stalks of kale and it will go on sprouting."
Any budding gardeners could start with planting onions later this month - Eat Seasonably says they are "not even slightly difficult to grow".
Rankin, 33, had been training with the Scottish Championship club after leaving Tannadice.
He has also had spells at Ross County, Inverness CT and Hibernian.
"John is a hardworking and honest pro who has looked extremely fit and sharp over the past few weeks," manager Peter Houston told the Falkirk website.
"I am pleased to be able to bring him into the club and I'm sure he will add further quality to the squad.
"He is a player that I have enjoyed working with in the past and his experience can only enhance the quality of the group that we already have here."
The unsigned piece in Congress Darshan said Nehru faltered in his initiatives in Kashmir, China and Tibet.
Nehru was a leader of the Congress party and its current vice-president Rahul Gandhi is his great grandson.
The editor of the periodical, Sanjay Nirupam, apologised for the article and said he would investigate the matter.
Mr Nirupam, a senior party leader, told the Indian Express that he was "not involved in the day-to-day functioning of the magazine and was unaware of the article".
"I do not agree with the article. It seems to have been sourced, but I don't know who the writer is," he said.
Mr Nirupam said "action will be taken against people in the editorial team who are responsible for the mistake".
Nehru played a central role in the negotiations over Indian independence and finally became the first PM of the country in 1947.
Congress won India's first general elections in 1951-52 under Nehru's leadership. Much of India's domestic and foreign policy was based on his ideas in the early years of India's independence.
The article in the latest Hindi edition of the periodical says Nehru should have listened to his deputy prime minister Vallabhai Patel's views on foreign policy.
Independence hero Patel is credited with uniting India's several princely states as the country's first home minister.
"Although Nehru was in charge of foreign affairs, but Patel, being the deputy PM, would sometimes attend the cabinet meetings on foreign affairs. Today's problems wouldn't have existed had Patel's foresight in the Kashmir issue been considered then," the article in Congress Darshan said.
"As far as Kashmir is concerned, Nehru was in charge. But it's true that Patel was upset with the decision to hold a plebiscite in Kashmir and take the issue to the United Nations."
In October 1947, Nehru faced conflict with Pakistan over the state of Kashmir, which was disputed at independence.
Nehru sent troops into the state to support India's claim. A UN ceasefire was negotiated, but Kashmir remains deeply unstable to this day.
The article also cites a letter that Patel reportedly wrote in 1950 to caution Nehru against China's policy towards Tibet and where "Patel described China as unfaithful, and a future enemy of India".
Despite efforts at co-operation by both countries, Indian-Chinese border disputes escalated into war in 1962 and Indian forces were decisively beaten.
This had a significant impact on Nehru's declining health and he died in May 1964.
The Public Services Ombusman for Wales ruled "Mr X" was failed by both Flintshire council and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
Mr X complained allegations against him were never put to him and he was denied payments to arrange his own care.
The council and health board both admitted failings in the case.
A report found the council was first aware of the allegations made by carers against Mr X in 2011 but had taken no action as it was considered a matter for the health board.
A new private care company began delivering a care package two months later, funded by Betsi Cadwaladr.
Further complaints about Mr X's behaviour were made in November 2013 but Mr X was not made aware of them, and he cancelled the care package two months later because he was dissatisfied with the service, the report said.
In 2014, the health board and council made inquiries with the company about the allegations and meetings were held to discuss his case.
An application for direct payments by Mr X was refused in April 2014 and he relied on help from a friend unitl June 2015.
Mr X made complaints to the health board in November 2014 and the council in May 2015, with the council saying the health board had to finish its inquiries into the allegations against him first.
The Ombusdman's investigating officer Steve Brisely found the council had failed to pass on the complaints to the health board in 2011 which would have enabled an investigation to take place then.
The eventual investigation was inadequate, he added.
"It clearly would have been fair to put the allegations to Mr X in order for him to refute them, to provide his account of events or to modify his behaviour," said the report. "I consider the failure to provide him with such an opportunity to be contrary to both natural justice and simple good practice."
In its response to the Ombudsman, the council accepted it had taken too long to respond to the complaint while the health board admitted it had no specific policy on how to deal with allegations where the care package was provided by an external company.
The 67-year-old is a life-long fan of Villa, who are six points adrift at the foot of the Premier League table.
"Mervyn successfully steered the Bank of England through the most turbulent economic headwinds in living memory," Villa chairman Steve Hollis said.
"His appointment to the board is a huge boost as we plan our path back to more successful times."
King, who was appointed a Life Peer in 2013, said he watched his first match at Villa Park more than 55 years ago.
"I shall do my best to help the rebuilding of Aston Villa Football Club as together we return it to its position as one of the top clubs in the world," he said.
King became president of Worcestershire County Cricket Club in 2015.
Stroud Beresford Group said the money would help it boost provision for vulnerable victims of domestic abuse and their families.
The charity offers accommodation, advice and support to women and their children affected by domestic abuse.
The group has provided aid over the past 40 years and has helped to look after about 1,400 women.
"Domestic abuse affects one in four women throughout their lifetimes and between six and 10 per cent of women suffer from it in any given year, so it is a very real and significant issue," said Jill Cooper, from the Stroud Beresford Group.
"Refuges are a vital source of safety and help for women and children experiencing domestic abuse.
"We are extremely grateful to [Stroud District] council for its support and the government for providing £100,000 to help us continue our work... to help those in desperate need."
The charity provides two refuges which offer support, outreach and children's services, support groups and workshops.
It is able to support up to eight families at a time and families stay at the refuge for an average of 12 to 16 weeks.
Martin Boyle fired the hosts into an early lead and won a penalty, converted by Jason Cummings on 24 minutes.
A dreadful mistake from David Gray allowed Paul McMullan to pull one back for the Pars soon after.
Kallum Higginbotham powered in the equaliser and some fine saves from Ofir Marciano denied the visitors a win.
Hibs, boosted after their magnificent performance in midweek when knocking city rivals Hearts out of the Scottish Cup, began the match with great pace, passion and power.
John McGinn began the move for the opener, winning the ball in midfield before spreading the play wide to Cummings. The club's top scorer sent in a searching cross to the back post where Boyle ghosted in to volley home.
Cheered on by a crowd of 14,437, Neil Lennon's side continued to dominate and only brave defending from Callum Morris denied Cummings from doubling the lead.
The pace of Boyle was causing all sorts of problems fort the visitors and the winger brought about the second goal when Jason Talbot tugged on his shirt as he squirmed along the byline, giving referee John Beaton a simple task in awarding a penalty.
Cummings made no mistake in sending Sean Murdoch in the Dunfermline goal one way and the ball the other for his 18th goal of the season.
Dunfermline though had lost only one of their last 14 matches and quickly responded to cut the deficit.
A simple ball through the middle was missed completely by Hibernian captain Gray and the impressive McMullan strode through to drill the ball beyond Marciano.
And the on-loan from Celtic midfielder was only denied an equaliser thanks to a wonderful one handed save by Marciano.
Tempers were beginning to run high and Fraser Fyvie and Higginbotham were cautioned by Beaton. Pars striker Michael Moffat was lucky not to join them after grabbing Fyvie by the throat as the players came together.
There was a further blow for Lennon before the break when Liam Fontaine limped off and, with no recognised centre-half on the bench, midfielder Marvin Bartley came on as the replacement.
Within 30 seconds of the second half getting under way the Fife club deservedly drew level.
Moffat was afforded time to send in an awkward lofted cross that was allowed to bounce nicely for Higginbotham to lash in from eight yards out, giving Marciano no chance.
Allan Johnston's side now had the belief they could go on and pick up all three points and only the woodwork and the feet of Marciano denied them the lead.
Andy Geggan cut the ball back for Moffat who, from six yards, blasted the ball against the crossbar, via the arm of Marciano, with Nicky Clark then having the rebound blocked on the line by the Hibernian keeper.
The home defence were at sixes and sevens and McMullan fired a cross into the box that hit Clark on the chest and drifted just over.
Both sides were going forward at every opportunity but as the clock ticked towards 90 minutes neither were able to create another clear cut opportunity in a thrilling contest.
A third consecutive league draw will frustrate Lennon but no ground was lost in the race for promotion since Dundee United, Morton and Falkirk each picked up a solitary point as well.
Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon: "I'm very pleased. You can see we're dead on our feet, and that's our third centre-half out injured as well. The goals were avoidable, but we started brilliantly.
"The momentum changes when you lose Liam and give a goal away, then my goalkeeper made some world-class saves.
"We've been superb defensively all season but we were poor today, and that's tiredness more than anything else.
"But all-in-all, we're seven points clear, off the back of a mentally and physically draining night on Wednesday, they've given me everything."
Dunfermline manager Allan Johnston: "We gave away really cheap goals and made it really difficult for ourselves but I thought the boys showed great character to come back, create the opportunities and score the goals.
"You can't afford to give teams like Hibs a two-goal start, but second-half, some of the chances we created were different class.
"I think we're disappointed not to take all three points. Their keeper was man of the match, the saves he made, so it's good we made opportunities like that against a top team."

Don Lock was repeatedly stabbed near Findon, West Sussex, at about 20:40 BST on Thursday.
Sussex Police said a 34-year-old man from Worthing was arrested by armed officers on Friday afternoon.
Mr Lock, who was recently given the all-clear from cancer, was attacked after getting out of his car after a crash with another vehicle on the A24.
He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.
The cycling enthusiast was due to become a great-grandfather for the sixth time. He and his wife Maureen had just celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary.
Floral tributes have been left by the roadside, including a bouquet from his granddaughter Kirsty with a note that reads: "I just wish I could hug you one last time."
It also said: "Grandad, there are no words to express how I'm feeling. I have lost a very special grandad. My only grandad. I love you so much.
"You will be truly missed by so many people."
A woman believed to be widow Maureen Lock was overheard saying: "He was a wonderful husband for 55 years and it finishes like this," as she left the site of the stabbing with a police liaison officer.
A statement from his family said Mr Lock was full of energy after recently being given the all-clear from cancer.
"He was not your typical great-grandfather and was still cycling up to 150 miles per week," the statement read.
"He was hugely loved by his family and friends and could often be called upon for his cycling or travel advice.
"Words cannot describe how much he will be missed."
Mr Lock was described as a "kind, gentle, fair man and a good friend" by fellow members of the Worthing Excelsior Cycling Club. He was the editor of the Worthing Wheel magazine for club members.
"His death will be an irreplaceable loss to the club," said club president Robert Downham.
"Our thoughts are with his family to whom the club will offer our total support at this tragic time."
People living and working near the scene of the death have described their "shock" over the killing, near a garden centre at Rogers Farm.
"Nothing ever happens round here. And it's especially shocking that the victim was an old man. Findon is a really lovely little village," said garden centre worker Laura Muchmore.
"It's so picturesque and it's not known for this type of crime."
This has been a very fast moving police operation and officers are still here on the A24, nearly 24 hours since the stabbing happened.
The central reservation, where Mr Lock was stabbed, has been combed extensively by crime scene investigators.
As well as police officers, there have also been a steady stream of other people visiting the site to pay their respects and lay flowers.
Officers have been a few miles down the road where an arrest was made at 14:00 BST by armed police at a dirt track and footpath that led up to the Worthing Golf Club.
Police teams have been carrying out a fingertip search of the area where the stabbing took place and house-to-house inquiries.
Det Supt Adam Hibbert said: "A man is in custody on suspicion of murder.
"I continue to appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision on the A24 at 20:40 BST last night or who may have CCTV or dashboard cameras of the area at that time, to come to assist our investigation."
Officers made the arrest about half an hour after Det Supt Hibbert made a public appeal for information. | Scientists say a 305 million-year-old fossil is the closest relative to "true spiders" ever discovered - but is not itself a spider.

Sentsov, 39, was arrested in May 2014 during a protest against Russia's annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula two months earlier.
He pleaded not guilty and his family say he will appeal. The trial has been condemned by the US, EU and other film directors.
Russia denies accusations that he is a political prisoner.
Another Crimea activist, Alexander Kolchenko, who was being tried with Sentsov and also denies the charges against him, was sentenced to 10 years.
After the verdict was read out, both defendants sang the Ukrainian national anthem in the military court in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said the case breached international law, while the US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, said the process had been a "farce".
Sentsov, best known for his 2011 film Gamer, was accused of setting up a terrorist group. Prosecutors say he was involved in two attempted arson attacks in the city of Simferopol, ordered by extremist Ukrainian group Right Sector.
The Ukrainian government says he is being punished for being a Crimea-based pro-Ukrainian activist.
The director has rejected the authority of the court - one of two military courts in Russia - and has said he was beaten in jail for 24 hours in an attempt to force a confession.
But investigators refused to open a case on his allegations of torture, suggesting that his bruises were self-inflicted and that he was keen on sado-masochism, his lawyer said.
Oleg Sentsov is one of a number of Ukrainian figures held by Russia. Military pilot Nadiya Savchenko is also facing trial in southern Russia, accused of killing two people.
Both have been described by the US as Ukrainian hostages held by Russia.
Last week Russia sentenced Estonian security official Eston Kohver to 15 years in prison for spying in a case that sparked a diplomatic row.
The case against Sentsov is primarily based on evidence given by two men who have already been convicted and given seven-year jail terms.
Human rights groups condemned the verdicts, and UK Europe Minister David Lidington said he was "deeply concerned" at the sentencing of Sentsov and Kolchenko.
Meanwhile Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko wrote on Facebook: "Hang on in there, Oleg. Time will pass, and those who organised this kangaroo court will find themselves in the dock."
A petition calling for Sentsov's release has been signed by top directors including European film-makers Mike Leigh, Ken Loach and Agnieszka Holland, and there has been a growing chorus of protest within the Russian film-making community.
He has also attracted support from celebrated Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov, who has close ties to President Vladimir Putin and has openly backed Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Noxious gas escaped from a blast furnace while a nearby water pipeline was being repaired at the government-run plant in Chhattisgarh state.
Workers say deaths could have been avoided had there been safety measures in place. The plant has not responded.
About 30 were left hurt or unwell.
Some workers held a protest at the plant on Thursday evening and again on Friday morning, BBC Hindi's Alok Putul reports from the state capital, Raipur.
The main water pump suddenly ruptured on Thursday night, resulting in a loss of pressure in the pipes supplying water to the blast furnace, the company said in a statement.
As the workers were fixing the rupture, gas from the furnace entered the damaged pipes and leaked, it added.
The plant, which is India's main producer of steel rails, employs tens of thousands of people.

The foreign ministry in Beijing said it was pleased that "trespassing Indian personnel have all pulled back to the Indian side of the boundary".
India's foreign ministry confirmed troops were "disengaging" at Doklam after agreement between the countries.
The row began in mid-June when India said it opposed a Chinese attempt to extend a border road on the plateau.
The area is known as Doklam in India and Donglang in China.
The news comes a week before a visit to China by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The plateau, which lies at a junction between China, the north-eastern Indian state of Sikkim and the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, is disputed between Beijing and Bhutan. India supports Bhutan's claim over it.
Earlier on Monday China made clear it would "continue its sovereignty rights" in the area.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Chinese troops had verified on ground that Indian personnel had withdrawn in the morning.

A senior Indian government source told the BBC that both sides had pulled out "personnel and equipment" from the area.
Robin Brant, BBC News, Shanghai
China's president is about to host India's prime minister, among others, at a summit this weekend. No-one likes a reignited border dispute to spoil a showpiece event, especially the Chinese.
But state media here see this as a clear win, referring to Indian troops as "trespassing".
One of the most eye-catching things about this latest stand-off is how it started - road building. China has a vast infrastructure strategy unfurling beyond its western borders but some critics say the One Belt, One Road plan isn't just about economics.
To some the Doklam dispute looked like it fitted this analysis; the army builds a road to establish a physical presence to justify a historical claim. Not dissimilar to the highly controversial island-building China has engaged in for years now in the South China Sea, some said.
Then there's Pakistan, India's arch enemy. It's currently the second biggest recipient of Chinese infrastructure investment. Evidence of a strategy aimed at expanding China's influence around the Indian Ocean, as well as around India.
Sanjoy Majumder, BBC News, Delhi
It might appear as a major victory for China and a climbdown for India - but that is not how Delhi sees it.
The Indian foreign ministry says the troop pullout is a result of sustained diplomatic efforts behind closed doors over weeks and a senior government official described it as "an honourable draw".
There's no way of verifying what's happening on the ground - and little detail of any concessions that either side may have made. But few doubt that the Indian government will be relieved the stand-off is over without it escalating into a major military confrontation, given China's overall superiority.
One question remains - will the road that started this dispute now be built or abandoned?
In the weeks since the row broke out in June, both countries increased troop numbers and even engaged in several minor confrontations in the area.
Both countries also called on each other to back down, with China in particular warning of "serious consequences".
Atul Bhardwaj, adjunct fellow at the Institute of Chinese Studies in Delhi, told BBC News that an agreement was the "only alternative" since a confrontation between the two Asian giants "could not have gone on".
He added that the resolution showed "India had initially given primacy to its relationship and commitments to Bhutan" but officials had clearly changed their mind.
"India needs Chinese markets and Chinese investments," he said, adding it would be interesting to see the political fallout of the decision in India, given that Delhi had said it would not back down.
India and China fought a war over the 3,500km (2,174-mile) shared border in 1962, and disputes remain unresolved in several areas, causing tensions to rise from time to time.

It's become such a big problem that one school in Philadelphia has started trying to get kids to think a lot more about their lunch.
Philadelphia is one of the first cities in the USA to reduce the amount of obese children.

"Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself," he tweeted. "My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this."
Griffin apologised after the photo provoked outrage from left and right.
In a video message posted on Twitter, she "begged" for forgiveness and said she had "crossed a line".
The 56-year-old Emmy award-winner said she was asking celebrity photographer Tyler Shields to delete the photo from the internet.
The gruesome image brought a storm of online criticism, including from Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Mr Trump's 2016 election rival Hillary.
She called the image "vile and wrong".
"It is never funny to joke about killing a president," she tweeted.
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney also chimed in, tweeting: "Our politics have become too base, too low, & too vulgar, but Kathy Griffin's post descends into an even more repugnant & vile territory."
Mr Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr, tweeted: "Disgusting but not surprising. This is the left today. They consider this acceptable."
Griffin, who has been a staunch critic of President Trump, posted the image in a tweet on Tuesday.
She added the comment: "I caption this: 'There was blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his … wherever.'"
As it became clear not everyone found it funny, she tweeted again: "OBVIOUSLY, I do not condone ANY violence by my fans or others to anyone, ever! I'm merely mocking the Mocker in Chief."
In her video apology, she said: "I'm just now seeing the reaction of these images. I'm a comic, I crossed the line. I moved the line and then I crossed it. I went way too far.
"The image is too disturbing. I understand how it affects people. It wasn't funny, I get it. I beg for your forgiveness."
CNN said it was evaluating its New Year's Eve coverage, which Griffin has co-hosted, and called the picture "disgusting and offensive".
Her co-host of the cable network's festive celebration, news anchor Anderson Cooper, tweeted that he was "appalled by the photo shoot" which was "clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate".
One company has already cut ties with Griffin.
The Utah-based makers of Squatty Potty toilet stools said they were cancelling an ad campaign featuring the comic because of the "deeply inappropriate" image.
Chief executive Bobby Edwards said in a statement: "We have acted swiftly and decisively to demonstrate our commitment to a culture of decency, civility, and tolerance."
Unicorn Gold bathroom products also suspended an ad campaign starring Griffin.
However, others pointed out that Mr Trump had hosted a controversial musician who called for former President Barack Obama to be killed.
Ted Nugent had said President Obama should be "tried for treason and hung", called him a "subhuman mongrel" and invited him to "suck on my machine-gun".
Mr Trump welcomed Nugent to the White House in April.

It was one of the most one-sided Lord's finals there has been - there have only ever been three lower first-innings scores and Surrey never looked like making Lord's history with the lowest first-innings score to win a final. That mark remains the 168 set by Sussex, which Worcestershire failed to reach, in the very first one-day final in 1963.
The Bears' only mildly scary moment came when their first wicket fell on 45.
As it was, after Sam Hain's dismissal to a reverse sweep, the only other batsman to fall was captain Ian Bell, who failed to add to his previous Lord's final scores of 65 not out, 54, 107 and 81, making only 17 this time.
It was Warwickshire's first one-day knockout triumph since beating Somerset here in the 2010 CB40 Trophy, although, as the Birmingham Bears, they did win the T20 at Edgbaston in 2014.
Picking a man of the match cannot have been easy after such an outstanding performance in the field by Warwickshire.
Surrey old boy Laurie Evans' superb one-handed catch to dismiss Jason Roy off Chris Wright was one of the best seen in recent years on the famous old ground.
But Roy had only been forced into such a risky aerial route by Wright putting the brakes on after Bell introduced him in just the seventh over.
I hope someone's got a photo of it. I'd get that framed
England all-rounder Woakes, the man who has even been dubbed the "Brummie Botham" this summer, came back on at the end to finish things off in the manner of the great all-rounder himself.
But his two wickets merely matched what Hannon-Dalby and spinners Javid and Patel had already done.
And Hannon-Dalby and Patel had also combined to good effect with the run-out of Tom Curran.
For all Surrey's struggles, they actually got off to a flying start with a 45-run opening stand. But their early scoring rate of eight an over had already been slowed when Roy was removed by Evans' stunning one-handed catch.
Partner Steven Davies may well have been still in shock when he departed 16 balls later, with just five runs added, stumped off Javid's first ball.
Kumar Sangakkara helped Burns to patch things up with a patient stand of 49 in 14 overs but he became the first of two quick victims for Hannon-Dalby, as three wickets went down in 16 balls for three runs, Ben Foakes and Zafar Ansari becoming the first two of three Surrey ducks.
Sam Curran hit two boundaries before he played on attempting a wild yahoo through midwicket off Javid.
But then, in the space of 24 balls in which they did not score a single run, Tom Curran was run out by Patel after being sent back in a mix-up, skipper Gareth Batty was bowled without scoring by Woakes and finally anchorman Rory Burns was bowled by Patel.
Jade Dernbach did end that scoreless sequence, when he bludgeoned Patel for six over wide mid-on, just a ball after the spinner looked to have got him plumb lbw, but an over later he was gone too, clean bowled by Woakes - a sorry end to a sorry effort.
Warwickshire captain Ian Bell told BBC Sport:
"It was just a great all-round performance. I don't think it was necessarily Surrey playing really badly, although they might be harsh on themselves, it was just that we were outstanding with the ball. After that catch and the stumping, our bowling was high class.
"We peaked at the right time. You have to enjoy these wins. They don't come round very often. It means a lot to us senior guys especially. We don't know we'll be here again.
"We'll enjoy it tonight then tomorrow we'll get our heads around beating Lancashire in the Championship next week to make sure we stay in Div One.
"I can't remember a Warwickshire support like we had today. We must have had some frustrated supporters this year. But it was unbelievable. It felt like a home game. I know we were playing well, but the support was outstanding."
REACTION: Ian Bell speaks to BBC Coventry and Warwickshire
Man of the match Jonathan Trott:
"When you're reaching the end of your career, you want to put in performances and create memories.
"This was my fourth final but it's the first time I've got above 15 or 20. It's always nice to be able to say that I managed a score like that.
"It's a surreal moment. It didn't go too well here early on in my career, but it's been better to me the older I've become. Maybe it's the lunches!
"Once you step out of international cricket these finals are the closest you get to that level. It feels nice to have done well."
REACTION: Jonathan Trott speaks to BBC Coventry and Warwickshire
Surrey skipper Gareth Batty told BBC Sport:
"It was obviously a tired surface, but it certainly wasn't a 136 all out surface, as Jonathan Trott showed. He stuck to his guns and played beautifully.
"We could have applied ourselves for longer periods but, when it goes as wrong as that, all the analysts in the world will be able to pick whatever they want out of it.
"Fundamentally you can't put in a performance like that and expect to win too many games. Any side would have found that difficult to defend. We just didn't turn up."
The charges, which include indecent assault and sexual assault, involve four boys, who were aged between 11 and 14 at the time of the alleged offences.
The ex-Crewe youth coach is accused of a total of 55 offences between 1979 and 1991 against young boys.
The 63-year-old denied all accusations during previous court appearances.
Mr Bennell - who also coached a number of junior teams in north-west England and the Midlands, some with associations to Manchester City and Stoke City - will appear at South Cheshire Magistrates' Court via video-link on 28 June.
The latest accusations include four counts of indecent assault on a boy aged 11-14, four counts of indecent assault on a boy aged 11-12 and two counts of indecent assault on a boy aged 11-13.
He is also charged with four counts of sexual assault on a boy aged 11-14.
Last month, Bennell appeared at Crewe Magistrates' Court, where a further 21 child sex offences were put to him, but he did not enter a plea, and was remanded into custody.
Research In Motion said it expects to deliver the software in February. It had been due this month.
RIM has admitted that sales of the device are lower than it anticipated. It acknowledged customers want native email, calendar and contacts applications.
The update aims to add the features.
A company blog described the decision as "difficult", but promised the revision will allow the firm's phones and PlayBooks "to work together even better".
RIM's shares closed down 7.5% on the news.
At present users cannot access their Blackberry email through the tablet computers unless the devices are linked to one of the firm's smartphones using its Bridge software.
The Canadian firm also said it had taken the decision to defer the inclusion of a BBM instant messaging application until a later release.
However, RIM said it was still planning to offer businesses the ability to manage their employees' tablets from a centralised computer server and to offer workers custom-built applications through the Blackberry App World store in its OS 2.0 download.
Analysts said the news may prove damaging to sales over the holiday season.
"It is a big setback for them. When they launched the tablet they tried to walk the line between a consumer device and an enterprise device," said Jon Erensen, research director at the technology specialists Gartner.
"People were hoping the initial limitations would be corrected with the update by now. The delay means they fall even further behind."
The fire at Grenfell Tower on the Lancaster West Estate was reported at 01:16 BST and about 200 firefighters are tackling the blaze.
The Metropolitan Police said "an evacuation process is under way".
The BBC's Andy Moore said the whole tower block was alight and there are fears the building might collapse.
Eyewitnesses say the block of flats was "close to burning through".
The London Fire Brigade say 40 fire engines and 200 firefighters are at the scene.
Cuadrilla was refused permission to extract shale gas at the sites in Little Plumpton and Roseacre Wood.
Lancashire County Council rejected both planning applications last year on the grounds of noise and traffic impact.
Cuadrilla disputed those reasons at the inquiry in Blackpool, but the council said it was "democracy in action".
Fracking - or hydraulic fracturing - was suspended in the UK in 2011 following earth tremors in Blackpool, where Cuadrilla previously drilled.
Nathalie Lieven QC, representing Cuadrilla, told the public inquiry night-time noise would be short and affect only a handful of homes.
At Roseacre, the traffic would be a maximum of 50 HGV movements a day for 12 weeks, she said.
"Self-evidently that process is controversial. However, this is not an inquiry into the rights or wrongs of shale gas extraction and how it relates to the UK's climate change obligations," Ms Lieven said.
"Ultimately these are proposed developments where the government has stated that there is a national need, and where the planning impacts are very limited."
The hearing at Blackpool Football Club's conference suite was told the council turned down the planning application at Little Plumpton against the advice of planning officials.
Alan Evans, representing Lancashire County Council, suggested that was "local democracy in action".
Activists on both sides of the debate gathered outside Bloomfield Road, each side - pro and anti-fracking - trying to make more noise than the other.
Chants of "Don't frack Lancashire" came from a crowd made up of local residents and members of environmental organisations, such as Friends of the Earth.
A group calling themselves Backing Fracking were among the pro-fracking group, whose members held placards with slogans like "Give shale a chance in Lancs". They told me they "believe Lancashire is for shale and will keep showing that".
Protesters later disappeared but the inquiry will go on for the next five weeks.
The government has decided Communities Secretary Greg Clark will make the final decision because the proposals are "of more than local significance".
A government spokesman said: "Local communities remain fully involved in planning decisions over any shale application - whether decided by councils or government - and strict planning rules that ensure shale development happens only at appropriate sites remain unchanged."
Ahead of the hearing, pro and anti-fracking protesters gathered outside the football club.
Jasber Singh, from Frack Free Lancashire, said: "We are not going to gain anything from fracking apart from air, noise, land and water pollution that's bad for our health and the health of the climate."
In London, Greenpeace activists installed a life-like 33ft (10m) fracking rig and drill at Parliament Square as a protest to coincide with the first day of the inquiry in Lancashire.
The move has prompted the term #Frackminster to trend on Twitter.
While the rest of the planet packs the format with razzmatazz, hype and international stars, the English T20 Blast plods through a summer-long, Friday-night trudge, struggling to fill the biggest grounds.
In a bid to play catch-up, the England and Wales Cricket Board is contemplating a franchise-based competition, similar to the Indian Premier League and Australia's Big Bash.
But can another revamp breathe much-needed life into the domestic game? How would a rejigged format look? Who wants it? Who's against it? What would fans make of it? And what are the prospects of it actually happening?
Where to start? Counties have long struggled to attract punters through the gates, an issue that the invention of Twenty20 sought to address. In some ways, it has been a success - T20 games are the best attended of the three domestic competitions.
However, many counties still have huge problems balancing the books and of the £1m loans the ECB offered each of the 18 counties in 2013, more than £7m is still to be repaid.

Add to this an apathy from the public, brought about by the lack of cricket on terrestrial television and a governing body that lurches from one crisis to the next. The ECB's own participation figures, released in 2014, showed that 64,000 fewer people between the age of 14 and 65 were playing recreational cricket compared to the previous year.
A new T20 competition was launched only last year, with the 18 counties split into two groups of nine and matches played across the summer, leading to the quarter-finals.
The average attendance grew slightly, up 12% when compared to the previous five years, but issues remain.
"It puts off the best overseas players from joining our league because it is too spread out," said ex-England batsman Kevin Pietersen, a veteran of the leagues in India, Australia and the Caribbean. "It is hard for T20 specialists to stay in form.
"Playing the majority of games on Friday nights perhaps does not encourage children and families quite as much as guys on a night out and there are too many dead matches."
Plenty in England are looking enviously at the Big Bash, which draws big crowds, attracts big stars and generates big global attention.
Instead of the traditional six first-class states, eight city-based franchises compete over a six-week window that coincides with the school summer holidays. Matches are broadcast on free-to-air television.
In the most recent edition, the average crowd was 22,000, compared to the 5,772 of last year's T20 Blast. On television, the Big Bash ensured the Ten Network regularly had the most watched programme in its time slot.
"The Big Bash is a phenomenon," said Yorkshire's Australian coach Jason Gillespie. "The thing that's impressed me most is the way Cricket Australia has dealt with it.
"They realised they needed to move forward and to align with fans' expectations. They've gone with the flow and given it a red-hot go to produce a very well-run competition that's remained within their own control."
The ECB is considering a similar model, creating eight or 10 T20 franchises that would remain owned by the Board with profits distributed back to the counties.
These teams would have their homes at the major international grounds and be based on cities, rather than counties. Instead of Lancashire v Yorkshire, think Manchester v Leeds.
There's plenty of support, both from those on the pitch and in the board room.
"For a while now we've been a bit behind the times when it's come to T20 cricket," England fast bowler Steven Finn told BBC Sport. "It would be a great step in the right direction for us if franchises did happen."
An internet search shows Finn's views are shared by a who's who of English cricketers - including Pietersen, Jos Buttler, Andrew Flintoff, Michael Carberry, Michael Vaughan, Andrew Gale - enough for an entire T20 squad.
Even some who you might expect to be against a franchise system are giving their backing to it.
Derbyshire would almost certainly miss out on hosting a franchise, but can see the benefit of a competition that would share wealth throughout the counties.
"It is absolutely crucial to us in this country, if we want to get more people into the game to watch and play, that we have a tournament on the scale of the IPL, the Big Bash and the CPL," said Derbyshire chairman Chris Grant.
"Derbyshire members naturally get nervous when people talk about franchises because they don't want the Test-match counties getting all the benefit of it, but I don't see it that way.
"I believe we could establish an English Premier League with franchises where all 18 first-class counties would be shareholders."
Here's the rub.
The likes of Somerset, Sussex and Essex have found an ideal formula for commercial success, mainly because they have medium-sized grounds that are not used for international cricket but are sold out for domestic Twenty20 games.
On the assumption that a new league would have teams based at counties with international grounds - Middlesex, Surrey, Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire and Hampshire - those three T20 standard-bearers would miss out.
"Let's be absolutely clear, we will have no truck with franchises whatsoever," said Somerset chairman Andy Nash. "We haven't built what we have here in recent years to see the game move away to Bristol.
"It's vital the counties are given the chance to compete in whatever reshaped T20 we ultimately conclude is right.
"I don't think you'll find anybody at Somerset arguing for a merger with Gloucestershire or anyone else to play with a white ball. It's just not going to happen."
The idea of pop-up franchises is a relatively alien concept in a British sporting culture that is wedded to the tradition of 'supporting your team'.
The nearest example to a T20 franchise system comes in Welsh domestic rugby union, where in 2003, it was agreed that nine clubs would form five regions, now down to four since Celtic Warriors went bust in 2004.
While the change has led to an improvement in the fortunes of the national team, the domestic game has struggled. In 2013-14 only one team, the Blues, were hitting the 8,000 target for average attendance, set back in 2003.
"The regions haven't had success, particularly in Europe," said former Glamorgan batsman Steve James, now rugby union correspondent for the Telegraph. "Attendances have been poor, the only time they have got big crowds has been for the local derbies."
Another important lesson the ECB could learn from Welsh rugby is not to underestimate the negative impact the wrong branding of a team could have on a parochial sporting audience.
Take Lancashire, for example. The Red Rose county draws support from Manchester and Liverpool, no doubt including fans of both Manchester United and Liverpool football clubs. What would be the impact of changing the Lancashire T20 team to Manchester Magic?
"Tradition runs very deep," added James. "One of the big problems in Welsh rugby was the names of the teams; Cardiff Blues, Newport-Gwent Dragons, Neath-Swansea Ospreys. A lot of the fans thought they were super-clubs, rather than regions, with the titles eventually shortened to just use the nicknames."
There are other problems to consider too, particularly when comparing an English competition to the Big Bash.
Firstly, Australia took six states and created eight T20 teams - increasing the availability of live cricket. A slimming-down of the 18 counties to eight or 10 franchises would surely decrease that opportunity.
In addition, British sport thrives on rivalries, the passion and desire of a local derby. The cut and thrust of Somerset v Gloucestershire would be lost if the two counties were thrown together in a Bristol team. Identifying this, Australia actually put two teams in each of Sydney and Melbourne in order to manufacture rivalries.
That is the big question facing the ECB chief executive Tom Harrison as he carries out a consultation of the counties, players and supporters, with findings scheduled to be returned this winter.
Can the ECB find a sweet spot of a Twenty20 competition that not only satisfies traditional fans, but also brings new supporters to the game?
Can the interests of the counties ever be completely appeased? Ultimately, it is the ECB board, rather than the 18 clubs, who will decide the way forward.
"You have to reinvent yourself without completely ignoring your history," said Warwickshire chief executive Colin Povey. "If we are to make a truly vibrant domestic game, it will be around the T20 game.
"You can't turn off your loyal fans, but we cannot close our minds to those people who are in the market for something to do with their family on a Friday night. We have to make sure that cricket is on their radar."
If a franchise league is ignored, or is tried and fails, where next?
The report from the Institute of Mr Massin in Paris said the teenager showed "a lot of diligence" and was a favourite with teachers.
Brunel's father sent him to France to study when he was 14.
The report is among items donated by a private collector to a new £7.1m Brunel centre being built in Bristol.
French engineer Sir Marc Isambard Brunel sent his son to France to study in 1820.
Dated "2nd semester of the classic year 1821" from the Institute of Mr Massin - Brunel's tutor - it shows he excelled in maths, drawing and German, and his behaviour was "beyond reproach".
"Teachers are completely satisfied with this young man's behaviour and he provides brilliant expectations for the future," the report reads.
"Unfortunately it doesn't say 'could do better'," said Rhian Tritton, director of Museum, Conservation and Education for the ss Great Britain Trust, who said she had been secretly hoping it might.
"It says that he is working extremely hard and that is one of the keys of Brunel's successes. He worked and worked and worked. He didn't give up if he didn't get it right first time."
The report is one of several artefacts that will go on show to the general public for the first time in the new museum, "Being Brunel", which is being built on Bristol's harbourside alongside the ss Great Britain - the engineer's iron-hulled steamship.
It will house more than 14,000 exhibits from the University of Bristol and about 1,500 personal artefacts donated by a private collector, Clive Richards.
Others revealed on Tuesday, as demolition work begins to clear the way for the new museum, include one of his famous cigars, half-smoked, found inside a leather-and-aluminium cigar case with "I.K.B Athenaeum Club Pall Mall" stamped on the front.
Brunel, a 40-a-day smoker, did a lot of networking at the Athenaeum Club, close to his London offices.
Ms Tritton said: "The image that everyone recognises about Brunel is that famous image of him standing in front of the [ss} Great Eastern's chains, with a cigar in his mouth... The cigar is really central to his image."
The protesters chanted "cuts kill" and "dead women can't vote".
The red carpet was temporarily blocked but the event at Leicester Square in central London later resumed with some women escorted away by security guards.
The Met Police said it had not been asked to attend.
Janelle Brown of Sisters Uncut, the group behind the demonstration, told BBC London: "We came to the Suffragette premiere today because the struggle is definitely not over. Dead women can't vote."
She went on to claim: "Two women each week are killed in Britain because of domestic violence. Austerity reduces women's access to legal aid and support services. The most drastic cuts were to specialist services.
"We're a direct action group and we know that was the tactic the suffragettes used too."
Suffragette tells the story of young East End laundry woman, Maud Watts, played by Carey Mulligan, who becomes an activist fighting to gain women the vote.
Set in 1912-13, it shows how the women in the suffrage movement attacked property and bombed post boxes to make their voices heard.
The cast also includes Helena Bonham Carter and Meryl Streep, who were among the stars attending the gala screening in central London.

An arrest warrant was issued on Wednesday after Ethan Couch failed to report to his probation officer.
In 2013, he drove into a crowd and killed four people in Fort Worth while intoxicated.
His lawyers said his privileged upbringing was partly to blame and argued for a lesser punishment.
Couch, who was 16 at the time of the crash, received 10 years probation.
The judge in the case said treatment for alcohol abuse and probation were better options than imprisonment.
Couch, now 19, is already under investigation after he appeared to be drinking alcohol in a video posted to the internet.
The terms of his probation prohibit Couch from using drugs or alcohol.
"We have recently learned for the last several days the juvenile probation officer has been unable to make contact with Ethan or his mother, with whom he's been residing," Couch's lawyers Regan Wynn and Scott Brown, said in a statement.
A judge has issued "a directive to apprehend", the juvenile-court equivalent of an arrest warrant, the lawyers said.
It has been an eventful time since the Mexican race two weeks ago, and I ended up getting quite run down.
Following the race weekend in Mexico City, I stayed over there working for another four days. Then, when I got back to the UK at the end of last week, I was stressed trying to organise my mum's 60th birthday last Saturday.
The party turned out great, and we had so much fun, but by the end of it I was exhausted. I had been busy for two solid weeks and I basically collapsed.
I ended up back in Monaco on Monday with a fever and we decided to delay my arrival in Brazil by a day to give me more time to sort myself out.
I've slept a lot the last couple of days and I feel much fresher now. I've had some good medication and I feel I am now on the upward slope and I will be fine for this weekend's race at Interlagos.
I really wanted to put a lot of effort into my mum's birthday. Turning 60 is a major landmark in life and I can never thank her enough for what she has done for me. This was one small way of doing that.
She was a single mother bringing up three kids and she gave up everything for me - as did my dad, of course.
She is such a selfless person, and had never really had anything done for her. So I wanted to give her the most amazing birthday, just to show her how special she is.
I flew in people that we hadn't seen for 20 years. There was something like 120 people at a place we hired in London. I had a friend organise the venue. I've never done anything like that before.
I had loads of my friends there. I had a load of really cool people sending video messages, which we played before the party, and then Jessie J got on stage to sing, among other people.
It was stressful for everyone involved getting ready but it was so well worth it - Mum looked like she had a whale of a time.
If you were watching the Mexico race, you'll know that during it I had questioned my Mercedes team's decision to make a second pit stop for tyres.
We discussed it afterwards. Not because there was anything particularly to be resolved but just to go through what we were all thinking at the time.
Obviously, I'm a racing driver and I have the right to question decisions that are taken during the race.
The thinking behind the stop was that we were far enough ahead to have basically a 'free' pit stop for both cars. And making that stop took away any risks with the tyres potentially not making the distance, and meant we were safe if there was a safety car - as indeed there was, as it turned out.
It was absolutely the right thing for the team to do, to take away as many risks as possible of us not finishing one-two.
Once they had stopped my team-mate Nico Rosberg, they had to stop me because otherwise it would have disadvantaged him.
The team told me we were stopping for safety reasons - by which they meant they did not know at that time if the tyres would make it to the end of the race, based on what they had seen in the first stint.
Of course I understood that. But I knew that my tyres would make it to the end. That's where I was coming from; that I didn't need to stop. And it turns out that the tyres were absolutely fine and could have made it easily.

There was no argument at all. I sat with Paddy Lowe, our technical boss, and he asked me what my thinking had been.
I told him I was a racer, that he knows me well - we have basically worked together all my career as he was at McLaren with me and we both joined Mercedes at the same time in 2013.
We've had an amazing year. There have hardly been any instances of me questioning the pit calls, and I was like: "Let's just move on."
I know the team make decisions for the right reasons, and that's the way it will continue to be.
Nico did a really good job to win that race, and he did it after scoring his fourth consecutive pole position.
I'm not worried about that run. I don't see it as a pattern; it's just the way things have worked out at the individual races.
I've had a great run in qualifying this year and you can't get it right all the time. It's no big deal.
Having said that, of course qualifying is important and naturally I want to get pole this weekend at Interlagos.
I've only been on pole once here - in 2012 - and it has not been a great circuit for me so far.
I like it, it's just that I've very rarely had the car to win here.
In my first two years with McLaren, the Ferrari was always better here. Then from 2009-13, Red Bull had an amazing run at this race.
I was finally in the lead here in the wet in 2012, and I should have won, but I got taken out by Nico Hulkenberg's Force India while I was in the lead.
And then last year I was quicker than Nico Rosberg in the race, and it would have been close between us had I not spun on the lap before one of my stops while I was trying to make up the time to pass him.
It's annoying that it has worked out like that here because it is a track I have always wanted to win at.
When I was a kid, I used to play a game called Grand Prix Two. Interlagos was always the first race of the season on that and I never really got much past the second race.
I would always restart the season, so I always seemed to be doing Interlagos - it was a real pain!
It also has extra meaning because there is there connection between this place and Ayrton Senna, and the race is so atmospheric, always packed out with so many really enthusiastic fans.
But it took a long time for Ayrton to win here - it took him eight years before he managed it. This is my ninth attempt, so hopefully I can finally get it done this weekend.

Lewis Hamilton was talking to BBC Sport's Andrew Benson
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies challenged First Minister Carwyn Jones over the case of Paul Thomas, who had been suspended pending an inquiry.
Mr Davies said the review had cleared him of all allegations against him.
Mr Jones said action had to be taken due to a "clash of cultures".
Sport Wales - which spends £22m a year promoting elite and grassroots sport - saw the activities of its board suspended in November.
Mr Thomas and vice-chairwoman Adele Baumgardt were suspended in February and then sacked by the Welsh Government last week.
Public Health Minister Rebecca Evans said there had been "an irretrievable breakdown in relationships" in the board's leadership.
During First Minister's Questions on Tuesday, Mr Davies asked: "Why did the Welsh Government decide last week to sack the chair of Sport Wales given that upon his appointment, the then incoming chair was told by a Welsh Government representative that he was entering a toxic environment, that he was tasked with tackling a dysfunctional and insular organisation?"
The first minister said: "Sport Wales was facing great difficulties, that much is true.
"There is an independent review of Sport Wales which is continuing.
"It was quite clear that the relationship between the chair and the board and the vice chair had broken down and therefore action had to be taken so the organisation could be rebuilt."
Mr Davies said the Welsh Government's second most senior civil servant, James Price, dismissed all the allegations against Mr Thomas in a letter dated February 13, which offered him a range of options which involved a continued role within the organisation.
"What happened in the very short intervening period which altered the situation and resulted in the sacking of Paul Thomas?" the Conservative leader asked.
The first minister responded: "As is known on the 14th February, the minister made a statement to assembly members on the headline findings of the review.
"One of those findings was that a clash of cultures had developed between the chair and the other board members.
"It was clear that action needed to be taken in order for the board to become fully functional in the future."
Since the sacking, Mr Thomas has hit out for being "hung out to dry" by the Welsh Government as a whistleblower.
Ms Baumgardt accused Mr Thomas of not being fit to hold senior public office, an allegation he rejected.
Toure captained his country to a first Africa Cup of Nations triumph since 1992 in Equatorial Guinea this year.
And the 31-year-old midfielder suggested he may now follow brother Kolo into international retirement.
"I think now my target is done," Toure told BBC's Sportsworld programme. "I want to wait a couple of days for what I will decide for my future."
Toure was speaking in Ivory Coast's largest port city Abidjan, where the African champions have just played two celebratory friendly matches - a 2-0 win over Uganda and a 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea.
The games were designed to honour the team's achievement in winning the Nations Cup and also allow defender Kolo Toure and goalkeeper Boubacar Barry to say their final farewells following their retirement from internationals.
And it may be that Toure, who has just collected the Golden Lion award for Africa's best player for the fourth year running, will be the latest to call time on his Ivory Coast career.
After making his international debut in 2004, Toure has gone on to win 95 caps for his country, scoring 19 goals. In 2014 he took over the captain's armband when striker Didier Drogba.
He has played in six Nations Cup tournaments, suffering defeat in the final in 2006 and 2012, and appeared in three World Cups.
But after 11 years on the international scene, Toure has hinted he may step aside for the new generation.
"The time for the youngsters will come soon and we need to let them go on alone," he said.
And with only two years left to run on his contract with his English Premier League side, Toure is understood to be weighing up whether now is the time to focus solely on his club.
Premier Toke Talagi admitted the stamps were "unusual" but said they showed Niue was celebrating the marriage.
The stamps are sold as a pair for NZ$5.80 ($4.53, £2.79), but can be torn down the middle.
Prince William's stamp is NZ$3.40 and Kate Middleton's is cheaper at NZ$2.40.
The stamps were designed and printed by New Zealand Post.
Niue, although self-governing, is in free association with New Zealand. All Niueans are New Zealand citizens and Queen Elizabeth II is their head of state.
Ivor Masters, the general manager of stamps and coins at New Zealand Post, said the stamps were collectors' items and so unlikely to be separated for postage.
And Mr Talagi said he saw nothing wrong with them.
"People indicated the stamps... meant the couple will separate in future. I don't know why they would interpret it that way," he told AFP news agency.
"I don't think it means that. I think it means we're very happy celebrating the royal marriage."
The stamps might even draw tourists to Niue, he added, because people would want to see where they were from.
The royal wedding takes place in London on 29 April.
Firefighters were called out to the Broadford Works industrial site on Hutcheon Street at about 18:10 on Saturday.
More than 40 firefighters were at the scene at the height of the fire. No-one was hurt.
Police said they were following a positive line of inquiry.
Residents living near the former textile mill were advised to keep windows shut.

Leicester midfielder Drinkwater was left out of the final 23-man squad.
Shearer said that by selecting Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson, Hodgson was taking a "gamble" on their fitness.
"Drinkwater should have been in," Shearer told BBC Radio 5 live. "He's been one of the standout players."
Drinkwater, who has won three caps, was voted man of the match on his debut in the 2-1 defeat by the Netherlands in March.
Arsenal midfielder Wilshere played only 141 minutes in the Premier League this season after breaking a leg, while Liverpool's Henderson was out for five weeks with a knee injury. before returning as a substitute in their final league game at West Brom.
Match of the Day pundit Shearer, who scored 30 goals in 63 games for England between 1992 and 2000, said: "Once again England have gone for reputation rather than form. I hope the manager doesn't regret it."
The verdict of BBC Sport's England Euro 2016 team selector - after it passed 1m users - matches Shearer's.
Although BBC Sport users are asked to pick an England XI, rather than a 23-man squad, one third of people (358,000) chose Drinkwater in their team.
He came fifth for midfield selections behind Spurs' duo Dele Alli (900,000) and Eric Dier (673,000), Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney (580,000) and Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling (378,000).
A Premier League champion with Leicester City this season, Drinkwater was a more popular midfield choice than Everton's Ross Barkley (322,000), Liverpool trio James Milner (286,000), Adam Lallana (282,000) and Jordan Henderson (230,000), and Arsenal's Jack Wilshere (253,000).
On Hodgson's other two omissions, BBC Sport users largely agree, with City's Fabian Delph (34,000) and Newcastle winger Andros Townsend (175,000) the bottom two midfield picks.
But few users chose teenage striker Marcus Rashford (116,000) to start for England in France, even though the Manchester United player scored on his international debut against Australia on Friday.
Shearer said that the 18-year-old deserves to be in the squad because of his performances in the last three months but said he would be "very surprised" if he started.
"If needs be, he can come and make an impact if England are chasing the game," said Shearer. "Once he gets on, he may force the manager's hand."
According to data from the 1m uses so far, a BBC Sport team selector XI for England's first game against Russia in Marseille on 11 June, would be:

Redfern joined the Foxes in 2014 after leaving Derbyshire by mutual consent.
The 25-year-old batsman scored 692 first-class runs at 25.62 and a further 124 runs in white-ball cricket, and also took 15 wickets with his off-spin.
Agathangelou, 25, joined in May and scored 42 not out against Essex to help the team win their first Championship match in almost three years.
Leicestershire chief executive Wasim Khan said: "We'd like to thank Dan and Andrea for their contributions and we wish them all the very best for the future."
One of them had remarked that those eating beef should be executed, even though it is not illegal.
In recent weeks three Muslim men have been killed by Hindus accusing them of eating or smuggling beef.
Most Hindus believe cows are sacred but many do eat beef, as do Muslims and Christians.
Another of those believed to have been scolded by Mr Shah had dismissed the lynching of a Muslim man accused of eating beef as an "accident".
Mohammad Akhlaq was lynched in the town of Dadri in the province of Uttar Pradesh last month.
In the past week two other Muslims have been killed in Hindu nationalist violence over the issue.
Angered at this and other Hindu nationalist trends, in recent weeks more than 20 Indian writers have relinquished their literary awards.
They allege India's secular nature is under threat from the Hindu nationalist BJP government, the BBC's Charles Haviland reports.
But Prime Minister Narendra Modi says his administration is not to blame for the deaths and has accused the opposition of indulging in what he calls "the politics of polarisation".
Police said a silver Peugeot 207 was driven into a furniture shop on Cowley Road shortly after 07:00 BST.
There have been no reports of any injuries. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue said the impact had made the shop's structure unsafe.
A road closure was put in place on Cowley Road close to the junction with Chapel Street.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue said crews used metal props to support the roof and prevent it from falling in on the shop while the vehicle was removed.
Station manager Simon Belcher said it showed the "varied nature" of crews' work.
Cowley Road has since reopened and a cordon remains around the shop.
Thames Valley Police are working to establish who was driving the vehicle.
"We recently broke up a terrorist cell run by those who returned from fighting with the group," the China Daily quotes Zhang Chunxian as saying.
The daily says Mr Zhang's statement marks the first official confirmation that some people in the region had joined IS.
But Shohrat Zakir, chairman of the Xinjiang regional government, stressed that the overall situation in Xinjiang - which has seen several violent attacks or incidents in recent months - was "stable and controllable".
"A number of violent terrorist attacks had been thwarted while they were still in embryonic stages," Xinhua News Agency quotes him as saying.
A Global Times editorial praises law enforcers in Xinjiang for their efforts.
"Police officers' rate of mortality in the line of duty is 5.4 times higher in Xinjiang than the rest of the country… Xinjiang's confrontation with terrorism deserves the gratitude of the whole country," says the paper.
Meanwhile, papers support the decision to fine consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble for "false advertising".
Regulators said P&G overstated the effects of its Crest toothpaste in a TV ad featuring a popular Taiwanese talk show host.
The Beijing News agrees that harsh punishment is a way to stop firms providing "misleading" information to consumers.
"It is not enough for the regulators to hand out a record-high fine to put an end to these untruthful advertisements. Consumers hurt by such information can also seek damages through lawsuits," suggests the article.
An article in the Beijing Times adds that celebrities who appear in such advertisements should be punished too.
A commentary in the Beijing Youth Daily, however, points to the problems in the current law and calls for a review of the regulations.
The current regulation states that advertisers who mislead can be fined up to five times what they spend on the advert, the article notes.
"We can only say that P&G's advertising fee was very high and that led to a higher fine," says the article, worrying that the law is not likely to deter firms with a much lower advertising budget.
And finally, papers discuss the official retirement age for workers as authorities debate policy changes.
Yin Weimin, the minister of human resources and social security, said on Tuesday that the state was expected to implement a new retirement policy "as early as 2022", according to the Global Times.
Government departments are working on the draft law this year and will seek public feedback next year before publishing it in 2017, the report says.
The current policy states that the retirement age for men is 60, while women retire at 50 or 55.
Peng Xizhe, dean of the School of Social Development and Public Policy at Fudan University, suggests having a uniform retirement age for both genders and "then progressively raise the age in some professions".
Observing that many people are unhappy with the plan, the Beijing Youth Daily urges authorities to improve the pension system and make it more attractive for people to retire at a later age.

James Harris (3-49) and Ravi Patel (3-83) ensured MCC were kept in check.
Northamptonshire's Ben Duckett made 69 and Yorkshire opener Alex Lees 41 after MCC had won the toss.
And it was MCC's day when Lewis Gregory removed Sam Robson in the four overs Middlesex had to face before stumps, Middlesex closing 9-1 - 323 behind.
Middlesex limited MCC to two significant partnerships with Harry Podmore (2-44) and Tom Helm (2-46) also among the wickets.
Duckett and Lees shared a stand of 109 - the highest partnership of the innings - before Lees was stumped by John Simpson to become Patel's first wicket of the day.
The off-spinner then trapped Duckett lbw.
Clarke found Ben Cox for company in a stand of 81 before Podmore won an lbw appeal against Cox for 40.
Seamer Harris removed Clarke 11 shy of his century after tea and picked up Liam Plunkett for 15 as MCC lost their last five wickets for just 42 runs.

The animal managed to get his snout trapped meaning he couldn't eat or drink.
When it became clear he couldn't free himself, vets stepped in and gave him some medicine, so they were able to get it off.
His club issued a statement on Tuesday denying a report that a board meeting was being held to discuss his future.
"For me, it's not affected me," said Foran ahead of Saturday's visit to Motherwell. "I'm quite strong-minded.
"When you take a job on, you've got to expect criticism, rumours, speculation and lies."
Caley Thistle lie four points adrift of Saturday's hosts after their 3-0 home defeat by St Johnstone, but Foran remains positive about his position - and his side's chances of staying in the Premiership.
"It's not true - there was no board meeting about my future," he said.
"The club have put a statement out, so everything will be done face to face with the chairman. It doesn't get me up or down."
Foran was heckled after the weekend reverse, but the former club captain had no criticism of the fans.
"It's been a long season and fans have been patient," he said. "They were right to boo me off and have a go at me.
"They've been great for me and the team all season, but I deserved criticism on Saturday. I understand it.
"If they can be that bit more patient for the last six games, we'd appreciate it.
"They've surprised me how positive they've been. Don't panic or get frustrated, the wins are coming.
"Us, the players and supporters will enjoy their summer off as we'll still be in the Scottish Premiership."
Foran admits that relegation has been spoken about in the Caley Thistle dressing-room.
"Some have been part of teams before that went down - I was part of it here," he said. "I walked out in the corridor to see staff in tears at losing their jobs.
"It's huge to the city of Inverness to stay in the Scottish Premiership and we will.
"We're going to be fearless in these last six games, get points on the board and end up in a good position."
On Tuesday, Caley Thistle insisted that the club was holding "a routine board meeting".
"The directors, management team, players, staff and supporters remain focused on taking as many points as possible from our remaining six games," said their statement.
"A win at Motherwell this weekend would dramatically improve our prospects and the manager, coaching staff and lads are working hard to achieve this.
"The atmosphere at the club remains positive, with great determination to remain in the top-flight." | A court in Russia has jailed Ukrainian film-maker Oleg Sentsov for 20 years for plotting terrorist acts in Crimea.

Three of seven blocks at Byron House at Nottingham Trent University have the Reynobond ACM PE panels.
The university and the building owners are working with the local fire service to decide the next course of action.
Nottingham Trent University said 30 students in the blocks were relocated to alternative rooms.
The nine-storey Bryon House is located on Shakespeare Street directly above the university's student union facilities.
More news from around the East Midlands
National Student Union vice-president Shelley Asquith said: "We are demanding the government takes immediate action to ensure all halls are included in fire safety checks.
"This needs to happen urgently to reassure students due to enrol in September."
At least 79 people are feared to have been killed in the blaze at Grenfell Tower in London on 14 June.
Prime Minister Theresa May has called for major national investigation into the use of cladding on high-rise towers.
The university and University Partnerships Programme, which owns and runs the Nottingham halls, said they are "liaising with the fire service as a matter of urgency to agree an appropriate course of action".
They said the blocks have "an extremely high-standard fire detection and alarm system, regular alarm testing and fire drills".
The £60m Nottingham complex has a total of 559 student rooms and was completed in September 2013.
Earlier this week in Edinburgh, it was revealed that the same panels were being used on parts of a new hall of residence at Napier University.
The cladding will be removed as a precautionary measure.
Cladding from 120 high-rise buildings in 37 local authority areas in England has now failed fire safety tests which were carried out in the aftermath of the tragedy.
It has been acquired by his firm City of Derry Hotel Ltd for above the asking price of £2.75m.
The hotel was put into administration in 2013 by the Republic of Ireland's bad bank, National Assets Management Agency (Nama).
It then became the responsibility of Cerberus when it bought Nama's Northern Ireland loans.
Mr Duddy said he intends to "roll out an investment programme" to improve the three-star hotel.
He said there had been "a notable uptake" of tourism space in the north west region, which gave him the confidence to invest in the Ramada.
"This hotel is in excellent condition and located right in the heart of the town, ensuring it is a superb destination for holiday makers," he added.
Gregg Sterritt, of the administrators RSM McClure Watters, said the sale would bring security to the hotel's 50 employees.
He praised them for their "efficient and professional manner at a time of uncertainty".
The National Trust said they were only the third pair to breed successfully in the UK in more than a century.
The birds were discovered on the Wydcombe Estate on the south of the island 12 days ago and wardens think their eggs have now hatched.
It is thought the unusually warm spring and summer have lured a larger number of bee-eaters to southern England.
Ian Ridett, National Trust ranger on the Isle of Wight, said: "We have set up a 24-hour surveillance operation around the site to protect these rare visitors, as any un-hatched eggs could be a potential target for egg thieves.
"The hot temperatures since spring have helped an above average arrival of bee-eaters, with more than 10 seen along the south coast since May."
The last time a pair was recorded breeding in the UK was in a quarry in County Durham in 2002 when two young successfully fledged.
Before that, it was in 1955 when two pairs raised seven young in a Sussex sandpit.
The adult birds have been seen delivering food into the nest which indicates the eggs have hatched, Mr Ridett added.
However, the chicks are not expected to leave their underground nest site for about two weeks, so the number of chicks hatched is still not known.
Bee-eaters can burrow up to 10ft (3m) and usually lay clutches of four to nine eggs.
Matthew Oates, National Trust nature and wildlife expert, said: "The bee-eater is arguably the most stunning bird on the British list - it looks tropical.
"As our climate changes it's likely that we'll see increasing numbers of new visitors on our shores."
MSPs were debating the Westminster bill during topical questions, after Tricia Marwick rejected a bid by government ministers to block it.
After James Kelly refused orders to sit down, the presiding officer had him escorted from the chamber.
A number of other Labour MSPs raised points of order to protest.
The issue was being debated at topical questions after Ms Marwick rejected a bid by government ministers to lodge a legislative consent motion against the Trade Union Bill.
Both Labour and the SNP are opposed to the Westminster bill, and fair work secretary Roseanna Cunningham has now sent a memorandum on the matter for consideration by the further powers committee.
She said it was "essential that the Scottish Parliament is able to express its opposition" to the "poorly thought out piece of legislation", which seeks to curb the powers of unions.
At the end of topical questions, Mr Kelly said he wanted to raise a point of order, asking if the legal advice the presiding officer had been given on the matter was open to challenge.
When Ms Marwick told him to get to the point, he replied that he could only do so if she would stop "interrupting" him.
The presiding officer then repeatedly ordered him to sit down, and he repeatedly refused. She asked him repeatedly to "desist and to apologise", and he refused.
Ms Marwick then had the Rutherglen MSP escorted from the chamber, and had him barred from participating for the rest of the day and the following day.
A series of Labour MSPs including Richard Simpson, Neil Bibby and Neil Findlay then raised points of order of their own in protest.
Ms Marwick said Mr Kelly had not come to his point of order or explained what it was.
Three - flags, parades and the past - were inherited from the failed talks chaired by the US diplomat Richard Haass a year ago.
Northern Ireland's attitude to UK-wide welfare reforms had become an increasingly difficult stumbling block for the power-sharing executive in recent months.
The stand-off over welfare reform had, in turn, raised serious questions about whether Stormont could balance its budget and if changes needed to be made to the power-sharing institutions to make them more stable and effective.
Besides this, the negotiators confronted the Northern Ireland economy's heavy reliance on the public sector and the challenges posed by the need to create more private sector jobs.
On welfare reform, the executive parties have agreed to introduce the UK benefit changes, but to pay for flexibilities and "top-ups" from their own budget.
Sinn Féin - which has long been opposed to the welfare changes - argues this will mean no Northern Ireland claimants should lose out.
The Treasury had levied fines on Northern Ireland because of its delay in implementing welfare reforms. Some of these fines will still be paid, but will be reduced if Northern Ireland moves ahead with the changes quickly.
On rebalancing the Northern Ireland economy, the UK government has promised to devolve powers over corporation tax to the Stormont Executive.
This will enable Northern Ireland to compete with the lower rate of corporation tax south of the Irish border in trying to attract foreign investment.
However, any reduction in corporation tax will involve a cut to Stormont's block grant.
Alongside the attempt to attract more foreign investment, the Stormont executive is expected to embark on a major programme of public sector redundancies, paying off thousands of civil servants. The pay-offs will be funded via a £700m government loan.
On the budget, the Treasury is providing £500m to fund shared and integrated education projects over the next 10 years, as well as £350m in loans for other infrastructure schemes over the next 4 years.
On dealing with the legacy of the Troubles, a number of new agencies are being created.
The Historical Investigations Unit will examine unsolved murders carried out during the Troubles.
The Independent Commission on Information Retrieval will provide an avenue for families to learn more about the fate of their loved ones.
Perpetrators, or others, with knowledge of killings during the Troubles will - if a family gives permission - be able to give the commission information on the basis of limited immunity from prosecution.
Less progress has been made on two other issues inherited from the Haass talks.
The UK government is proposing that powers over parading should be devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly and fresh legislation should be drafted.
However, there is no firm agreement on a replacement to the quango which currently rules on marching disputes, the Parades Commission.
Disputes over flag flying, which led to serious rioting in the greater Belfast area in 2012 and 2013, also remain unresolved. The issue will be passed to a 15-strong commission for further discussion.
So far, as the system of government at Stormont is concerned, it's suggested the number of government departments should be cut from 12 to nine.
The number of MLAs at Stormont will be reduced from 108 to 90 by 2021.
It is also planned that those politicians who do not want to join the power-sharing government should - if their parties are strong enough - be entitled to form an official opposition.
However, Stormont's cross-community voting system - which has made it difficult to take decisions on contentious issues such as welfare reform - remains in place.
Pine martens, part of the weasel family, were on the verge of extinction in Wales before a charity stepped in.
The Vincent Wildlife Trust brought 20 from Scotland last year and will release a further 20 next week.
But landowner Charles Grisedale, who has turned his estate into a reserve for the rare lapwing bird, said it was "madness" to reintroduce the predator.
"If you think a fox in the chicken coop is bad news, you wait until you get a pine marten in there," he said.
"These things are murderous, arboreal, killing machines. They can hunt on the tree tops, they can hunt on the ground."
Their decline in Wales in the early 1900s was put down to loss of habitat, fur hunting and a cull by gamekeepers.
David Baven of The Vincent Wildlife Trust said pine martens liked wooded areas and disputed concerns raised about them.
He said: "They are certainly not a killing machine. They are a predator, but a large part of their diet is made up of invertebrates and berries.
"They will take birds but they are not specialist bird predators. They don't leap around woodland hunting birds."
In June, three of the pine martens gave birth to five kits and Mr Baven said this showed the success of the relocation project.
He said pine martens were also preyed upon themselves and three have been killed by foxes this year.
"This is not just an iconic woodland species, but also a key missing element in the woodland ecosystem".
It's called 42 - the name taken from the answer to the meaning of life, from the science fiction series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The US college, a branch of an institution in France with the same name, will train about a thousand students a year in coding and software development by getting them to help each other with projects, then mark one another's work.
This might seem like the blind leading the blind - and it's hard to imagine parents at an open day being impressed by a university offering zero contact hours.
But since 42 started in Paris in 2013, applications have been hugely oversubscribed.
Recent graduates are now working at companies including IBM, Amazon, and Tesla, as well as starting their own firms.
42 was founded by French technology billionaire Xavier Niel, whose backing means there are no tuition fees and accommodation is free.
Mr Niel and his co-founders come from the world of technology and start-ups, and they are trying to do to education what Facebook did to communication and Airbnb to accommodation.
They aim to do this by combining an extreme form of "peer-to-peer learning" with project-based learning. Both are popular methods among education researchers, but they usually involve the supervision of a teacher.
Students at 42 are given a choice of projects that they might be set in a job as a software engineer - perhaps to design a website or a computer game.
They complete a project using resources freely available on the internet and by seeking help from their fellow students, who work alongside them in a large open-plan room full of computers. Another student will then be randomly assigned to mark their work.
Like in the computer games the students are asked to design, they go up a level by competing a project. They graduate when they reach level 21, which usually takes three to five years. And at the end there is a certificate but no formal degree.
The founders claim this method of learning makes up for shortcomings in the traditional education system, which they say encourages students to be passive recipients of knowledge.
"The feedback we have had from employers is that our graduates are more apt to go off and find out information for themselves, rather than asking their supervisor what to do next," says Brittany Bir, chief operating officer of 42 in California and a graduate of its sister school in Paris.
"Peer-to-peer learning develops students with the confidence to search for solutions by themselves, often in quite creative and ingenious ways."
Ms Bir says 42's graduates will be better able to work with others and discuss and defend their ideas - an important skill in the "real world'" of work.

"This is particularly important in computer programming, where individuals are notorious for lacking certain human skills," she says.
The idea of peer learning is not new and many universities and schools already use it, particularly in more collaborative subjects like engineering.
In fact, Aristotle was said to have used "archons", or student leaders, to help teach his students.
But more recent research has shown that peer learning can help students gain a deeper understanding of a subject.
Education expert Professor Phil Race says difficult topics can be easier to understand when they are explained by someone who only recently learned the material themselves.
Professor Dan Butin, founding dean of the school of education and social policy at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, argues that peer learning and project-based learning should be used even more widely in schools and universities.
He says they are "much better learning tools" than lectures, which do not usually challenge the way students think.
But he thinks 42 has gone too far by removing teachers altogether. His research suggests peer learning is most effective when students are under the supervision of an expert teacher.
"The deep reason for a teacher is to guide students to grapple with exactly the complex, ambiguous, and tough issues that are usually outside of students' self-awareness or capabilities," he says.
"Good teachers are able to guide students to what I call these "aha!" moments."
Prof Butin says "the whole point of a university" is to challenge a student's prior knowledge and assumptions about the world. A university without teachers could allow students to simply "reinforce and regurgitate" their existing opinions.
42's model might offer an alternative to Moocs (massive open online courses, which let large numbers of students cheaply study a subject online.
Like a Mooc, it provides a more affordable education than a traditional university. But it also gives students the social benefits of coming to a physical building and interacting with others every day.
The opening of 42 also follows the rise of "coding academies" in the US, which offer short, intensive courses to thousands of students wanting to take advantage of the high demand for software developers.
But could 42's model of teacherless learning work in mainstream universities?
Britanny Bir admits 42's methods do not suit all students. During the month-long selection period, some applicants fell out because of the stresses of working closely together. It is easy to imagine reacting badly to a poor mark if it was given by the student in the desk next to you.
"It suits individuals who are very disciplined and self-motivated, and who are not scared by having the freedom to work at their own pace," she says.
Nicolas Sadirac, director of 42 in Paris, says the model works particularly well for students who have been frustrated and left behind by mainstream education.
"The education system in France fails a lot of passionate students, who feel frustrated by being told what to do and how to do it," he says.
42's selection process ignores previous academic qualifications, and 40% of students at 42 in Paris did not even complete secondary school.
"42 has reminded them that learning can be fun if you follow what you are interested in, rather than being told by teachers to focus on one thing in particular," says Mr Sadirac.
The hosts lost Daniel Bell-Drummond for 49, but Dickson (210 not out) and Joe Denly (143 not out) scored freely in an unbroken 305-run second-wicket stand.
Dickson reached his century off 165 deliveries, before making his second career 200 off 280 deliveries.
Denly's ton came from only 132 balls, the pair scoring at 5.27 an over to race to maximum batting bonus points.
The partnership was the highest ever recorded at Beckenham, and a record second-wicket stand against Northamptonshire.
The vulnerability in Windows XP and Server 2003 is being actively exploited by cyber-thieves, it said.
It has taken the unusual step of issuing a temporary workaround that closes the loophole.
However, it acknowledged that applying this fix could break some Windows functions that people regularly use.
Security firm FireEye has been credited with finding the bug that lets an attacker piggyback on a known flaw in some older versions of Adobe Reader. Via the Adobe bug, the FireEye researchers found evidence that attackers were able to "escalate" the access they were granted to the system to eventually allow them to install their own code.
Microsoft said it was aware of "limited, targeted" attacks using the combined bug to attack PCs.
It issued advice to customers saying they should turn off some services to stop the attack working. It warned that turning off the vulnerable service could shut down some widely used networking functions including the ability to access a machine over the net or use a PC to work remotely over a virtual private network (VPN).
A comprehensive fix for the loophole is now being worked on by Microsoft and it said it hoped to include this in a future security update.
Although Windows XP has been superseded by versions 7 and 8 of Microsoft's flagship operating system, the older software is still widely used. Market research figures suggests about one-third of PCs still run XP.
People who have upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Reader will not be vulnerable to the combined attack, said FireEye.
Robert Ellerby, 44, "blasted" Scott Watmuff when he turned up at the couple's marital home.
Watmuff had refused to remove the intimate shot of Ellerby's wife Rubbina, uploaded shortly before the confrontation, a court heard.
Ellerby, who admitted a firearms offence and causing actual bodily harm, was jailed for 27 months.
Teesside Crown Court heard how Watmuff and Mrs Ellerby had rented a flat together after starting an affair.
After he ended the relationship, the court heard, Mrs Ellerby returned to her marital home and Watmuff demanded she repay half of the deposit.
Robert Galley, prosecuting, said Watmuff posted an intimate photo of Mrs Ellerby online before going to the house and would not remove it, despite pleas to do so.
Watmuff, who had been drinking, smashed a window of his ex-lover's car and banged heavily on the door of the house, bruising his hand.
Ellerby, of Chapel Lane in Sawdon, Scarborough, opened the window of an attic room and fired his shotgun into the ground, close to the back of Watmuff's right leg.
The court heard how Ellerby had leaned out of the window and "blasted" Watmuff, who was jailed last month for a revenge porn offence.
Judge Stephen Ashurt said there was no justification for the shooting.
"Breakdowns of relationships usually do create tensions but they can never be resolved by threatening another with, let alone discharging, a loaded weapon because of the obvious risks," he said.
"Even if Scott Watmuff was an unsavoury character, you were not justified in shooting at or towards him."
Saints secured their sixth straight title and 11th overall with a 4-0 win over Bangor City.
They will play in next season's Champions League qualifiers and Harrison wants to emulate Irish side Dundalk.
"Dundalk showed every club of our size the way by getting into the group stages of the Europa League," he said.
"That's certainly our goal and where we want to be."
League of Ireland's Dundalk featured in this season's Europa League group stages having come within one round of reaching the Champions League.
Saints have not progressed beyond the second qualifying round of the Champions League during Harrison's six years in charge and they lost to Apoel Nicosia in July.
Harrison said next season's Champions League campaign would be the motivation for his players in their remaining seven league games of the season.
"They want to be putting themselves in the team and the squad for Europe," Harrison told BBC Wales Sport.
"It doesn't stop. It's a continuous cycle and wanting to play in European football."
Saints' only defeat in the league was away to Carmarthen Town in February but Harrison said the campaign had not been easy despite his side's dominance.
"I think we've been very, very good," said the former Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace player.
"We've been fresh, we've had new zest, impetus and young players that are hungry."
Harrison's side remain on course for a third successive Welsh domestic treble.
Having already won the league and the Nathaniel MG League Cup, Saints face Gap Connah's Quay in the Welsh Cup semi finals on 1 April.
In December the Oswestry-based club broke a 44-year-old world record held by Dutch giants Ajax for the longest winning streak in top-flight football.
Saints also reached the semi-finals of the Irn-Bru Scottish Challenge Cup, securing away victories over Forfar Athletic and Livingston before losing to St Mirren.
"The Irn-Bru Cup was fantastic as well and we're very disappointed we got knocked out there but we gave a good account of ourselves and Welsh football," Harrison added.

So what was a gorilla doing all the way up in space?
Well, it turns out US astronaut Scott Kelly was just having a bit of birthday fun.

Du Plessis was found guilty in November after footage appeared to show the 32-year-old licking his finger and shining the ball while eating a sweet in the second Test against Australia.
He was fined 100% of his match fee by the International Cricket Council.
But he will be able to play in South Africa's Boxing Day Test against Sri Lanka as he will not face a match ban.
"It is the duty of the ICC to ensure fair play on the cricket field," said International Cricket Council chief executive Dave Richardson.
"Although it was not picked up by the umpires at the time, when the incident came to our attention subsequently, we felt it was our responsibility to lay a charge in this case because the ICC can't let such an obvious breach of this law pass without taking any action.
"We are pleased that both the match referee and Mr Beloff QC have agreed with our interpretation of the laws and hope that this serves as a deterrent to all players not to engage in this sort of unfair practice in the future."
Du Plessis, who is also captain of the Twenty20 side, has always denied any wrongdoing and said he had been made a "scapegoat" after the original conviction.
In 2013, Du Plessis was fined 50% of his match fee for ball tampering in the second Test against Pakistan.
He was caught on camera rubbing the ball against a zip on his pocket on the third day of the match in Dubai, leading umpires to penalise South Africa five runs and change the ball. He did not contest the charge.
Last week Du Plessis was appointed as the permanent captain of South Africa following AB de Villier's decision to step down in order to concentrate on his recovery from an elbow injury.
South Africa now face Sri Lanka in a three-match Test series starting at Port Elizabeth on 26 December.
Women over 50 attending screening will be asked to take part in the trial ActWell in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The Scottish government-funded research will be led by the University of Dundee and supported by Breast Cancer Now.
If successful, the scheme could be rolled out to other NHS Boards.
Breast Cancer Now is seeking 24 volunteers to train as lifestyle coaches to support the trial.
They will work with women to help them make lasting changes focused around physical activity, diet and weight.
About 4,600 women in Scotland are diagnosed with breast cancer every year and about 1,000 lose their life to the disease annually.
Experts estimate that 38% of breast cancer cases in post-menopausal women could be prevented by lifestyle changes linked to inactivity, poor diet, alcohol consumption and weight.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "Prevention is a key part of our cancer strategy.
"We know things like weight, diet and activity levels can all significantly contribute towards your risk of developing cancer.
"With breast cancer risk in women over 50, the link is particularly pronounced.
"By recruiting volunteers to work as lifestyle coaches, this scheme will test whether we can reduce those risks and save women and their families from having to face up to a cancer diagnosis."
Mary Allison, director of Breast Cancer Now Scotland, said: "The trial has the potential to have a significant impact on reducing the risk of breast cancer in Scottish women.
"Recruiting lifestyle coaches will be integral to the success of ActWell. We're looking for people with an interest in health and lifestyle.
"We want to attract those who are keen to make a difference to women's lives."
Annie Anderson, professor of public health nutrition at the University of Dundee and co-director of the Scottish Cancer Prevention Network, said: "An increased emphasis on prevention is vital if we are to combat breast cancer.
"Physical inactivity, diet, alcohol consumption and body weight are all significant risk factors in developing the disease.
"With the study we are looking to support women with ActWell lifestyle coaches and give them access to services that can help reduce these risks.
"This starts with a 30-second conversation at the breast screening centre but it could have life-changing effects.
"Our pilot study showed considerable benefits for women aged over 50 which is extremely encouraging."
The attack in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province is the first to be claimed by the Saudi branch of IS, which was formally established last November.
The claim was posted on Twitter with an image of the bomber by an account that is a reliable source on the group.
IS has previously threatened to attack Shia Muslims in Saudi Arabia.
Witnesses reported a huge blast at the Imam Ali mosque in the village of al-Qadeeh, in Qatif governorate during Friday prayers.
The Saudi health minister told state television that at least 21 people had been killed and more than 80 injured in the blast.
A doctor at the hospital said that some people had been wounded "very critically".
Television pictures of the bombing showed shattered glass and debris inside the mosque, where scores were said to have been praying.
A spokesman for the Saudi interior ministry said the bomber detonated a suicide belt inside the mosque, causing a number of people to be "martyred or wounded".
"Security authorities will spare no effort in the pursuit of all those involved in this terrorist crime," the official said in a statement carried by state news agency SPA.
It will come as no surprise that the Islamic State group was behind this calculated attack on peaceful worshippers in a Saudi mosque.
The Sunni extremists of IS have a special loathing for the Shia and they will almost certainly have been looking to exacerbate sectarian tensions between Saudi Arabia's Shia minority and the rest of the population.
Shia anger will likely be directed at the Saudi authorities for failing to protect their community in Eastern Province.
Shias have been concerned for some time at inflammatory speeches given by hardline Sunnis that depict them as being 'not real Muslims', a view shared by IS.
In a statement published online, IS said "the soldiers of the Caliphate" were behind the attack and pledged "dark days ahead" for the Shia community. It identified the bomber as Abu Amer al-Najdi.
In a separate statement, the jihadist group also said it was behind a similar attack on a Shia mosque in neighbouring Yemen on Friday, which injured about a dozen people.
Saudi Arabia has previously been threatened by IS, which is being targeted by a US-led coalition in Syria and Iraq.
In November last year, an audio recording purported to be from IS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi called on Saudi followers to attack Shia targets.
More than 2,000 Saudis are believed to have joined IS, with hundreds having returned home. Saudi Arabia has launched a security crackdown in recent months, arresting hundreds of IS suspects.
Saudi Arabia's large Shia Muslim minority is mainly based in the Eastern Province, and there have been sporadic protests by Shia there for greater rights.
The attack on Friday comes at a time when the Saudis are leading a coalition of Arab states in an air campaign against Shia rebels in Yemen.
The Swiss bank reported a loss of 484m Swiss francs (£346m) for the first three months of the year, compared to a profit a year earlier.
It said that subdued market conditions were likely to persist in the current quarter and "possibly beyond".
The bank has been cutting jobs and costs to boost earnings.
It had said previously that it expected reorganisation costs to push it into a loss for the first quarter.
Shares rose as the damage was not quite as bad as had been feared.
"In the first quarter of 2016 and particularly in January and February, we operated in some of the most difficult markets on record with volumes and client activity drastically reduced," said chief executive Tidjane Thiam.
"While we saw tentative signs of a pick-up in activity in March and then in April, subdued market conditions and low levels of client activity are likely to persist in the second quarter of 2016 and possibly beyond."
Mr Thiam joined the bank in July 2015 with the task of focusing the bank more on private banking and less on the riskier investment bank.
He said the bank remained on course with its plan to cut costs by 1.4bn Swiss francs in 2016, deliver more profits from wealth management and maintain a strong balance sheet.
In March it announced that 2,000 jobs would be axed at its global markets business, on top of the 4,000 job cuts announced in February.
Mr Webb, 69, who represented Virginia from 2007 to 2012, said the US needed "positive, visionary leadership".
He said defence, criminal justice reform and an economy that benefits the middle class would be his focus.
He is the fifth Democrat to enter the presidential race. There are 14 Republican challengers so far.
In a statement on his campaign website, Mr Webb said he made the decision to run "after many months of thought, deliberation and discussion."
"I understand the odds, particularly in today's political climate where fair debate is so often drowned out by huge sums of money," he added.
Vowing to bring an outsider's voice to the 2016 race, he said the US needed "to shake the hold of these shadow elites on our political process".
Mr Webb was a vocal critic of the Iraq war, which his son served in, and his opposition formed the basis of his Senate election campaign in 2006.
Prior to becoming a senator, he worked as an author and film-maker and briefly served as US Secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan, but resigned in protest at cuts to the military.
Latest polls suggest Mr Webb is a long way behind the levels of support seen for Hillary Clinton and her closest Democratic challenger, Bernie Sanders.
The afternoon before a major national holiday is usually a time for releasing bad or unflattering news, not announcing presidential candidacies. That didn't stop Jim Webb from unveiling his bid for the White House via email and his campaign website, however - and given his penchant for unpredictability, it somehow seems fitting.
Despite the record number of big-name candidates in the 2016 presidential race, none has a resume quite as unconventional as Mr Webb. The Virginian seeks to provide a rough-hewn, working man's appeal that contrasts sharply with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's carefully planned, big-money candidacy.
The National Journal's Bob Moser once described Mr Webb's politics as combining "Elizabeth Warren's passion for economic justice with Rand Paul's itch to reinvent foreign policy".
So far, polls show Democratic voters with little interest in such an unusual blend. But even if he fails to gain traction in the race, Mr Webb should be fun to watch.
US 2016: Meet the possible candidates
William was on The Mall to praise the woman who was the focus of this celebration.
The future king's words were directed at his monarch and his grandmother.
The Queen travelled, with her husband, in an open-top car, while William, Kate and Harry were in the vehicle behind.
It presented an image of the present and the future of the monarchy.
It was a notable image with a notable absentee.
Prince Charles had chosen to miss the Patron's Lunch and instead attended a street party near his Highgrove home in Gloucestershire.
For a Queen, now 90, there will be ongoing adjustments made to her programme. Lifts will be used rather than flights of stairs; the length of visits will be not too long, and standing around will be kept to a minimum.
But, officials insist, Elizabeth remains this country's active and fully-engaged head of state.

They include an icy body with an orbit that takes it so far from the Sun that it is probably influenced by the gravity of other stars.
The discoveries were found during an effort to locate a possible ninth planet, whose presence has been inferred indirectly.
The study is set to be published by The Astronomical Journal.
Co-authors Scott Sheppard and Chad Trujillo have submitted the details of their discoveries to the Minor Planet Center, which catalogues such objects, along with asteroids and comets.
Their search was carried out using several observatories around the world, including the the four-metre Blanco telescope in Chile and the eight-metre Subaru telescope in Hawaii.
One of the new objects, known for now as 2014 FE72, is the first distant Oort Cloud object found with an orbit entirely beyond Neptune.
Its orbit takes it some 3,000 times further than the Earth is from the Sun.
The Oort Cloud is the large shell of objects that occupies the outermost region of the Solar System.
Dr Sheppard, from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington and Dr Trujillo, from Northern Arizona University, have been analysing how the new planet-like bodies fit into larger theories about a ninth planet lurking in the Solar System's furthest reaches.
The evidence for this planet has largely been deduced by peculiarities of distant Solar System objects.
One of the new celestial bodies, 2013 FT28, shares characteristics of its orbit in common with the bodies whose positions and movements lent support to the planet nine idea - but it also shows some differences.
Based on analysis of other small bodies in the outer Solar System, astronomers have proposed that - if it exists - the ninth planet is several times more massive than Earth and is at least 200 times further than the distance between the Sun and Earth.
The new work should help constrain the location of this proposed ninth planet.
"The smaller objects can lead us to the much bigger planet we think exists out there," said Dr Sheppard.
"The more we discover, the better we will be able to understand what is going on in the outer Solar System."
Pluto, discovered in 1930, was previously known as the ninth planet. But its planetary status was removed in 2006, following the discovery of an object of comparable size in the Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy bodies just beyond Neptune.
The German lender fell nearly 7% after Bloomberg reported some hedge funds had taken out cash and withdrawn positions held with Deutsche's investment bank.
It added that the majority of Deutsche Bank's trading clients made no changes.
The report still unsettled other bank stocks, sending Goldman Sachs down 2.8% and JP Morgan 1.6% lower.
Deutsche Bank said in a statement: "Our trading clients are among the world's most sophisticated investors."
The bank added: "We are confident that the vast majority of them have a full understanding of our stable financial position, the current macro-economic environment, the litigation process in the US and the progress we are making with our strategy."
There has been speculation that Deutsche Bank may struggle to pay a $14bn US fine for mis-selling mortgage-backed bonds during the financial crisis.
The fall in Deutsche Bank and other finance stocks helped to push the Dow Jones Industrial Average index down 200 points, or 1.1%, to finish at 18,143 points.
The more tech-heavy Nasdaq was down 1% to 5,269 and the broader S&P 500 index was also 1% lower at 2,151 after making tentative gains in early trading.
Oil firms Chevron and Exxon Mobil fell 0.9% and 0.5% respectively as traders questioned whether an output cut agreed by the Opec oil cartel would be binding.
On Wednesday, they benefited from a surge in the oil price after reports emerged that Opec nations had agreed to the first production cut in eight years.
So, the final quarter of the season is likely to provide us with another exciting climax across the Scottish Professional Football League divisions.
With Celtic cruising to a sixth consecutive championship crown, the focus for the runaway Premiership leaders is on records.
Brendan Rodgers' side remain unbeaten domestically and could wrap things up as early as this weekend, if nearest challengers Aberdeen lose at home to Hearts and Celtic win at Dundee on Sunday.
Nine games remain after this round of fixtures, while the previous best in the top flight has been seven games to spare, done in 1929 [Rangers] and 2014 [Celtic].
Rodgers' team are also well placed to beat the 103 points reached by Martin O'Neill in the 2001-02 season at Celtic.
Aberdeen aim to finish 'best of the rest' for the third term running and enjoy an eight-point cushion over Rangers, with Hearts and St Johnstone all but assured of their top-half places.
The battle for the final spot in the top six looks to be between Partick Thistle and Kilmarnock, who have both found form of late. However, don't rule out Dundee, who are still only three points behind the Jags despite back-to-back defeats.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle prop up the table, one point behind Hamilton Academical, with both sides having managed just four wins. The Lanarkshire side have shipped 10 goals in their last two games - a worrying trend at any time.
Accies, though, are only three points behind both Ross County and Motherwell, highlighting the importance of wins at this stage of the season.
Championship leaders Hibernian are long odds-on for a return to the top flight after three campaigns in the second tier.
Neil Lennon's men have lost just three times on league duty and hold a six-point advantage over closest pursuers Falkirk and have a game in hand.
The Bairns, unbeaten in the division this year, and third-placed Greenock Morton both visit Easter Road this month.
Dundee United topped the table at Christmas after a 14-game unbeaten run but a grim sequence of one league win in nine outings means last season's relegated side drop 10 points off the pace.
At the other end of the table, St Mirren, who looked destined for the drop a few weeks ago, are now only one point behind fellow relegation candidates Ayr United, while Raith Rovers are dropping like a stone, with one win in all competitions since the end of October.
In League One, Livingston are on course for an immediate return to the Championship with a seven-point advantage over Alloa Athletic.
Jim Goodwin's side are, in turn, six clear of East Fife and Brechin City, who moved into the final play-off spot by leapfrogging visitors Airdrieonians after Tuesday's 3-0 win at Glebe Park.
However, the Diamonds are only two points behind and, with Queen's Park within three points of the Lanarkshire club, this looks like a fight that could go all the way.
At the bottom, only four points separate the bottom four clubs.
Stenhousemuir currently sit bottom, one point below Albion Rovers, with Peterhead a further point ahead. Stranraer are the fourth club involved in the battle to avoid the drop - and the head-to-head matches coming up soon are sure to be pivotal.
The scrap for the League Two title now looks sure to be fought out by two Angus clubs, with Forfar Athletic being pegged back to a three-point advantage over Arbroath.
Elgin City, who moved into third on goal difference after Tuesday's 1-1 draw away to Cowdenbeath, and Annan Athletic look to have booked their play-off places as they are 10 points clear of Stirling Albion.
But it is the battle to avoid dropping out of the SPFL that catches the eye.
Bottom-of-the-table Cowdenbeath gave new manager Gary Locke hope with a win away to Berwick Rangers on Saturday and then another point against Elgin on Tuesday.
Cowden are now four points behind Clyde, who parted with manager Barry Ferguson after a slump in form during which improving Edinburgh City leapfrogged the Bully Wee.
To retain their place in the senior set-up, the bottom club will face a two-legged play-off against the winners of a play-off between the Highland League and Lowland league champions.
East Kilbride have a seven-point advantage and a game in hand over East Stirlingshire, who lost last year's play-off final to Edinburgh City, at the top of the Lowland League.
Buckie Thistle and Brora Rangers are tied on points at the top of the Highland League, with Cove Rangers just a point behind. However, Buckie, who lead on goal difference, and Cove both have two games in hand.
The internet firm also saw revenues fall 11.6% to $1.08bn in the January-March period from the quarter in 2015.
But the revenue fall was better than analysts' forecast, and Yahoo's shares rose in after-hours trading on Wall Street.
In February, Yahoo said it was looking for buyers for its core internet arm.
The deadline for potential bids was Monday.
In a statement Yahoo's chief executive Marissa Mayer said: "Our 2016 plan is off to a solid start as we continue to focus on driving efficiency, lowering costs, and improving long-term growth.
"In tandem, we made substantial progress towards potential strategic alternatives for Yahoo."
Verizon, YP Holdings - formerly Yellowpages.com - and private equity firm TGP have all expressed an interest. And the owner of the UK's Daily Mail newspaper is also considering a bid in partnership with other parties.
Over the last few years Yahoo has struggled to keep up with the changing internet advertising landscape, with some analysts arguing that it has failed to remain relevant in many of its core markets.
Investors have been disappointed with Ms Mayer's inability to secure a turnaround for internet firm.
Activist investor Starboard Value has proposed replacing Yahoo's entire board of directors.
Yahoo announced that it was looking for potential buyers for its core businesses after plans to sell its stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba fell through.
Despite the fall in revenues, the figures were well received by investors and Yahoo's shares rose 1% in extended trading.
"Given all the challenges Yahoo has faced with the reduction of its workforce and the Alibaba spinoff plan, to come in and deliver these numbers is a very positive thing," JMP Securities analyst Ronald Josey said.
Sullivan helped the club to four trophies during his first three seasons in Leicester.
The 35-year-old returns following a season with the London Lions.
Riders head coach Rob Paternostro said: "He was a part of some of the most successful moments in our club's history and we're delighted to bring him back."
Sullivan, who captained Team GB at the 2012 London Olympics, was twice named the British Basketball League's Most Valuable Player and is a four-time BBL play-off champion.
He inspired the Riders to a treble of silverware in 2012-13 and the BBL Cup the following season.
"He is as versatile a player as they come," Paternostro added.
"He has demonstrated he can play any spot on the offensive and defensive end which will be very useful for our team.
"Drew has as strong a competitive hunger as anyone I know. He is really looking forward to playing with the group that we have returning next season."
The Riders begin their pre-season programme against the Loughborough Student Riders on Sunday, 30 August.
Plaid group leader Emlyn Dole will be nominated for election as leader of the authority at a council meeting next week.
Labour had led the council in coalition with independent councillors since 2012.
Labour leader Kevin Madge was voted out at his party's annual general meeting on Monday.
His successor, Jeff Edmunds, had been expected to be submitted for the leadership of the council at the authority's annual general meeting on 20 May.
The 26-year-old, who won Commonwealth gold at middleweight in 2014, will train alongside Tony Bellew under Dave Coldwell.
He will debut on the undercard of Kell Brook's IBF welterweight title defence against Errol Spence at Bramall Lane.
"I think being British champion in 18 months is a good target for me," Fowler said.
The six-time ABA champion and cousin of former Liverpool striker Robbie added: "I waited for Rio because I wanted to go to the Olympics but I was also gaining experience fighting the best of the best.
"As a pro I think that's going to show as there's very few people in England that can live with me and it's only the very elite in the world that beat me in the amateurs. So I think I am going to shine as a pro and my style is great for it."

Fowler, who aided Carl Froch as a sparring partner prior to his final bout against George Groves, follows Rio Olympians Joe Cordina and Josh Kelly in signing with Matchroom Sport.
Silver medallist Joe Joyce and bronze medal-winner Joshua Buatsi are also expected to turn professional.
Olivier Giroud's second-half strike - his second of the night and 18th of the season - looked to have put the Gunners on course for a crucial victory, but substitute Allen rewarded the hosts for a display bursting with energy and spirit with a low 90th-minute finish.
Roberto Firmino twice gave Liverpool the lead in a breathless first half, the second a spectacular 20-yard drive, but Arsenal took advantage of poor defending from Jurgen Klopp's side to level through Aaron Ramsey and Giroud.
Giroud also missed an open goal in the first half, while Firmino struck the bar in a wide open game.
With 10 minutes remaining, Arsenal's lead at the top of the table was four points. Yet Robert Huth's late winner for Leicester City at Tottenham and Allen's late strike left Arsenal only ahead of the Foxes on goal difference.
Relive the drama from Anfield
Football Daily podcast - Does anyone want to win the league?
The visitors looked to have finally established supremacy in this topsy-turvy encounter when Giroud turned to put them ahead 10 minutes after the break - but then failed to press home the advantage and paid a heavy price.
And it will be a matter of concern to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger that on nights like this at places like Anfield, they did not show the necessary ruthlessness to close out a game that was within their grasp.
The Reds deserve great credit for the way they responded to the disappointment of going behind after leading twice - but Arsenal showed no assurance or authority when the pressure mounted in the closing stages and there was an inevitability about Allen's equaliser.
Arsenal, when they should have been pressuring a desperately poor and under-strength Liverpool defence, instead allowed themselves to be pushed back. This was two points lost and Klopp will be the much happier manager.
For such a regular goalscorer, Giroud remains a maligned figure by some Arsenal fans who regard him as just short of the highest class - and yet his strike rate speaks eloquently on his behalf.
He showed a poacher's instinct to touch home his first from Ramsey's corner then showed good awareness and movement to turn Kolo Toure and score his second.
And yet those who remain unconvinced by Giroud will point to his astonishing first-half miss when he somehow failed to convert Hector Bellerin's pass from a matter of inches in front of the Kop.
Here, though, he demonstrated again that he will get goals and that is the best answer he can give to those who still doubt the France striker's pedigree.
Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet is poised to sign a new five-year contract at Anfield and has won the consistent backing of manager Klopp despite his fragile form.
And yet he was once again a very obvious weakness behind a Liverpool defence that was an accident waiting to happen for large portions of this enthralling game.
The 27-year-old Belgian was beaten too easily inside his near post when Ramsey equalised after Firmino's opener, then was hopelessly stranded as Giroud's faint touch allowed a corner to sneak in. It was desperately poor keeping.
For all Klopp's public assurances - he would not do otherwise - he must surely be concerned at Mignolet's obvious frailty, alongside the glaring inadequacy of his deputy Adam Bogdan, as proved by his errors at Watford and Exeter City.
Liverpool have recalled 22-year-old Welsh keeper Danny Ward from a successful loan spell at Aberdeen so he is now in the mix - but Klopp has to consider a more reliable, experienced long-term solution after Mignolet's latest blunders.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "We started so good and played good football. It showed all of us how good we could be.
"Then we concede a goal from a set play and we have to work at it. Organisation is one thing and sometimes we have a little problem with concentration.
"We gave them two easy goals after we had to work really hard for our goals. We had many moments which I am happy with."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "I'm very disappointed but, overall, I cannot fault the effort and commitment of the team.
"We had a difficult start. At 3-2, we should have made it 4-2 and didn't make the right decision in the final third.
"Liverpool fought until the last second."
Liverpool don't have long to recover before they entertain fierce rivals Manchester United on Sunday (14:05 GMT). Arsenal's next game is a trip to Stoke, where they have failed to win on their past five Premier League visits, on Sunday (16:15 GMT).

There were no surprises as England won 5-0 at Wembley, as they did when this fixture was a World Cup qualifier in October 2012. Move forward to these Euro 2016 qualifying games and the story is the same.
And with Switzerland - supposedly England's closest rivals - losing to Slovenia, the impression that Group E will be little more than a formality for Roy Hodgson and his players gathers further momentum ahead of Sunday's game in Estonia.
So what can be gleaned from as close as you can get to a pointless exercise in international football?
Death, in this instance, may well be the death of excitement and interest in a group that does not contain the slightest hint of box office for England and their fans.
Hodgson, as he must, will take matters deadly seriously and England should take credit for the professional manner in which San Marino, joint 208th alongside Bhutan at the foot of the Fifa rankings, were disposed of.
But if they continue this untroubled progress amid a very kind draw on the road to Euro 2016, the Football Association may find difficulty in ramping up the public's fancy to ensure these qualifiers do not die a death through lack of interest.
What was a good sign was an excellent crowd of 55,990 inside Wembley on Thursday, albeit with an eerie atmosphere until Everton captain Phil Jagielka put England ahead. After barely scraping over 40,000 for the friendly against Norway, this was an attendance that will have been greeted with pleasure, and perhaps some relief, by the Football Association.
This is the sort of group that would be perfect for the FA to take England back on the road but they are locked in to Wembley and are unlikely even to consider playing games away from their home for many years, perhaps in 2018 if an NFL franchise bases itself there.
England look so far ahead of their other rivals in this group after beating Switzerland and San Marino - with Estonia, Lithuania and Slovenia to come - that the only difficulty may be the guard that will have to be erected against complacency.
But while England look certain to make comfortable progress to Euro 2016, the lack of strong opponents in their group may actually present Hodgson with a dilemma - although he will not complain about certain aspects of the draw he has been handed.
The problem is there is no way he can make serious decisions on any of his players on the basis of performances produced against the likes of San Marino.
Hodgson would, ideally, like to test out central defensive options such as Manchester United pair Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, along with the best prospect of all in Everton's John Stones, against high-calibre opposition. He will want to guard against the possibility of England getting caught cold when they get to the finals in France.
He will also want to see whether Jack Wilshere really is up to playing the holding role in a diamond formation against teams of a better standard. The suspicion remains that this is not his natural position and Hodgson will want to make the definitive judgement on that before France.
Also, with Danny Welbeck such a success in Daniel Sturridge's absence, Hodgson may want to explore attacking combinations. Can Welbeck and Sturridge operate together in attack or will one have to be sacrificed? Will it become a battle between the two to lead England's forward line, with Wayne Rooney tucked in just behind?
While Hodgson may relish this favourable group, he will need to test all these tactical alternatives against a better calibre of side if he is to garner worthwhile answers.
With the standard of opposition in the group unlikely to offer the sort of preparation they will need to face elite teams in a tournament, there is work to be done to ensure England arrive in France able to challenge the continent's best teams.
It means the FA will need to choose friendlies shrewdly and there is every likelihood the hostility and opposition that will meet them when they travel to face Scotland in Glasgow next month will be a sterner test than most of what they will face on the route to Euro 2016.
The bottom line is that if England fail to reach the Euros, heads - and quite a few of them - would roll. So there is a need to face stronger opponents away from these qualifiers to get an accurate measure of exactly where England stand when they come to their next major tournament, so vital after the World Cup failure in Brazil.
Once again San Marino proved they are not even the slightest threat in these games. No contest, no danger, simply another unsuccessful attempt at damage limitation.
Since drawing with Latvia in 2001, San Marino have now conceded 300 goals and scored seven in 65 qualifying games. Will that grim situation ever improve? Will they ever actually threaten to win a competitive match? Not on any evidence they have presented recently.
This was another illustration that there should be pre-qualifying for teams of San Marino's standard. This may seem harsh in football's global context but there must come a time when the worth of what they bring to European Championship and World Cup qualifiers must be reassessed.
Watching England dismiss such pitiful opposition yet again, with goalkeeper Joe Hart reduced to little more than an interested onlooker, puts the credibility of this sort of Euro 2016 qualifier into question.
It does England little or no good, does San Marino no good whatsoever and does Uefa's credibility harm when it effectively has a nation which is little more than football's punchbag.
It is time to consider pre-qualifying for countries of a certain stature to remove the spectacle of walkovers such as this.

Visitors can walk around a glasshouse, spotting lots of different types of butterflies.
BBC Reporter Tarah Welsh went to have a look for us.
Price, who used to be known as Jordan, spoke to students about her career from glamour model to TV star.
She also told the 1,000-strong crowd that she believes there needs to be tighter regulations on the media.
Price followed in the footsteps of the Dalai Lama, Winston Churchill and, more recently, Pamela Anderson, when she spoke in the debating chamber.
The 33-year-old told students: "I come from a family that has had to work to earn a living.
"It doesn't matter if you're a single mum or you have financial stuff, I believe that if you really want to do something and put your mind to it, it's feasible, but you really have to be realistic.
"There's no excuse for people to just get pregnant and stay at home."
Price also spoke in detail about her treatment by the paparazzi and the media.
She said: "There are so many things that need to be tweaked and done properly, more regulation.
"You've got people coming across (badly) in this industry because they're not saying things right."
She added that she felt sorry for the new host of reality stars from shows such as The Only Way is Essex and Made in Chelsea as they do not know the industry as well as her.
She said: "I'm just very lucky that I've got a lot of people around me.
"I think the media know now that they're not going to destroy me. I'm indestructible."
A spokesman for Oxford Union said the event proved "very popular".
Twenty-two people were killed when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb following an Ariana Grande concert.
Lord Kerslake will chair the review on behalf of Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, who said it would "help us be even better prepared in the future".
The review into the 22 May attack is expected to start in September.
Lord Kerslake, who is chair of King's College Hospital in London, said he was "committed to working with all the relevant people and organisations".
"I want the families of those who have died, those who were injured, the emergency services, and the wider public to be confident that the review will be independent, transparent and rigorous."
His first task will be to outline the scope of the review, a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Combined Authority said.
Mr Burnham praised the "bravery and professionalism shown by the emergency services and many others".
"But, as with any major incident, it is right to take an honest look at what happened," he added, "so that the right lessons can be learned for the future, and this review will help us be even better prepared in the future and allow us to share our learning with other parts of the country."
The review is due to start after other organisations have carried out their own reviews and debriefs, and will be supported by the National College of Policing and the Greater Manchester Resilience Forum.
Baroness Hughes, deputy mayor for policing and crime, said "families of those who lost their lives, the injured and people who were at the arena that night will all be given the opportunity to feed into this review".
The family of Tony Brightwell, from Hove, said he was indulging his passion of watching planes and cycling before he died when the Hawker Hunter crashed.
He gained his private pilot's licence many years ago at Shoreham and regularly visited the airfield.
He had hoped to take up flying again himself one day.
His fiancee Lara said: "I watched him cycle off into the sun on his treasured ridgeback bike to watch the air show at Shoreham for a couple of hours, but he never came home."
Mr Brightwell was a health care manager for Sussex Partnership NHS and Brighton and Hove City Council and has left behind "a heartbroken family".
The sister of another man missing in the Shoreham air crash has said he will always be in her family's "hearts and memories".
Daniele Polito was in the same car as Matt Jones, who is known to have died when the Hawker Hunter plane crashed and exploded on the A27 in West Sussex.
His sister Marina said on Facebook: "I know many people loved him and will miss him loads, but as long as we keep him in our hearts and memories, he will never really leave us.
"I miss you loads already little (big) bro! Keep making people smile."
Sussex Police has not officially confirmed Mr Polito is among the dead.
The force has identified 11 people "likely" to have died and and contacted their families.
Ms Polito said on Facebook that many people loved her brother and would "miss him loads".
"I would just like to say a massive thank you to every one who has supported my family over the last few painful days," she said.
"I am overwhelmed by the kindness you have all shown. I know many people loved him and will miss him loads."
The other man known to be missing is Mark Trussler, thought to have been riding his motorbike on the A27 when the plane crashed on Saturday.
Five other victims have also been named.
Pilot Andy Hill failed to complete a loop manoeuvre immediately before the 1950s aircraft crashed.
He remains in a critical but stable condition in an unnamed specialist hospital after initial treatment at the Royal Sussex in Brighton.
The wreckage of the aeroplane has been taken to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch in Farnborough, Hampshire, with an interim report due to be published "in due course".
The A27 remains closed but Highways England said the emergency services had handed the eastbound carriageway back to them and it was expected the westbound carriageway would be handed back later.
A Highways England spokesman said it was likely to take three days to repair the road.
Sussex Police said the road was still being cleared on Friday to enable repairs and its partial reopening on Monday.
Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry said searches of land next to the A27 would continue for some weeks.
But he said the eastbound A27 was expected to reopen fully with restricted access to Lancing College, and one lane on the westbound carriageway would reopen - with the search area screened off.
A 40mph speed limit will be in place, along with restrictions on cyclists, horse-riders and pedestrians; nearby footpaths will remain closed, and there will not be general access to the airport from the A27 although local businesses will have access.
He added: "I understand that people would like to go to the road to pay their respects but this is still an active search and investigation scene, and with road safety concerns and sensitive work being carried out, it is not possible.
"This weekend there are a number of memorial events and I would encourage people to attend these. Under no circumstances should people try to access the A27 in order to leave any flowers at the scene."
The force has also thanked local people for their support after emergency teams received an "overwhelming" number of food donations for the hundreds of officers involved in the investigation.
"While we appreciate the support, we ask that if you still want to donate food please take it to one of the local food banks," Mr Barry said.
The Shoreham community has donated more than £15,000 to an online appeal to help the families of those affected.
There were 297,539 donors aged 17 to 34 in 2001, and now there are 237,520.
Research by NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) suggests many young people are either too busy or daunted to donate.
Only 4% of eligible donors give blood, and most of these are above the age of 40. Just 14% of those who donate regularly are aged below 30.
The poll, of more 1,700 people across the country and 1,000 current NHSBT donors, suggests fear and ignorance, as well as time pressures, may be to blame.
One in 10 young people aged 18 to 24 said they were too busy, even though nearly three-quarters said everyone who met blood-donation criteria should give blood.
More than a third of the 184 people falling into the "young" age bracket said they did not donate because they had a fear of needles, while about a fifth said it was because they did not know where to go.
NHSBT is also concerned many blood donors fail to give on a regular basis.
About 200,000 blood donors of all ages drop off the register every year.
NHSBT assistant director of blood donation Jon Latham said: "We want to remind everyone that blood donation is one of the simplest ways you can save or improve a life - just one unit of blood can save the life of three adults or seven babies, and you can start donating from the age of 17."
The NHS needs 7,000 voluntary donations of blood every day to care for its patients.
The call for donors comes as organisers of the UK's biggest gay pride parade called for the ban on gay men giving blood to be lifted, saying it was based on "outdated stereotypes which are not fit for purpose".
Experts from the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs have been reviewing the ban and are expected to advise ministers on the issue soon.
More than 1,000 Colombians have been deported and about 6,000 have left in fear since Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro closed the border last week.
On Thursday Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said it was "unacceptable" and withdrew his envoy.
The Venezuelan government followed suit later in the day.
Mr Maduro closed the border and declared a state of emergency in the western state of Tachira, last Friday, after smugglers injured three Venezuelan soldiers and a civilian.
Announcing the recall of his ambassador, Mr Santos condemned the expulsions. "I can't allow Venezuela to treat Colombians and the Colombian government in this way," he said.
He added that he would call for an extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers from the Union of South American Nations.
A while later, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez announced that Caracas was recalling its own ambassador to Colombia for consultations.
Smugglers have long operated along the porous border between the countries, purchasing heavily subsidised goods in Venezuela to resell in Colombia.
Talks by the countries' foreign ministers on Wednesday were aimed at normalising the situation in the key border region of Cucuta.
Hundreds are living in shelters there surrounded by the few possessions they could carry across the border on their backs.
President Maduro blames much of the violence on the Venezuelan side of the border on Colombian paramilitaries, whom he accuses of crossing the border freely to commit crimes.
In order to fight these gangs he declared a 60-day state of emergency on Friday which, among other things, allows the authorities to search homes without a warrant.
But his Colombian counterpart said those who had been deported were "no paramilitaries but poor and humble families who only want to live and work".
President Santos said some had complained of mistreatment by the Venezuelan security forces. The Venezuelan foreign minister dismissed allegations as "media lies".
Lowe, 24, has made 39 appearances for the Chiefs, scoring 18 tries.
Lowe has also represented the Maori All Blacks on five occasions, crossing for six tries, including one against Munster at Thomond Park in November.
McCarthy, 35, will leave Leinster to join French club RC Narbonne at the end of the season.
The lock has played 75 times for Leinster since joining in 2013 from Irish interprovincial rivals Connacht and won a Pro12 title in his first season, lining out in the number five jersey in a 34-12 win over Glasgow Warriors at the RDS.
McCarthy has won 19 Ireland caps since making his debut in August 2011 against Scotland in a Rugby World Cup warm-up game.
He was a late call up to the Ireland squad at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
"Since Mike joined Leinster from Connacht in 2013 he has been a key figure in the dressing room. He has made a huge impact during his four seasons at Leinster and has always been fully committed when he pulled on a Leinster jersey," said Leinster head coach Leo Cullen.
"James is a quality and relatively young outside back that we have been tracking for some time so we are delighted he has agreed to join us," he added.
"We believe he will greatly add to the outside backs that we have and provide good competition in the squad as we look to remain competitive in both the Pro12 and the Champions Cup.
"We look forward to welcoming James to Leinster and seeing him out on the field representing the team once his commitments in New Zealand come to a close."
Lowe made his Super Rugby debut in 2014 against the Crusaders and scored a try after coming on as a substitute.
Since then he has added a further 17 tries to his name and has already scored three tries in the first two rounds of the Super Rugby season.
He will join up with his new Leinster team mates after the conclusion of the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup campaign which he will play for his home province Tasman.
"Everyone knows about Leinster and what they have achieved over the last eight years or so but I have also spoken to a few people that I know in Leinster and they have nothing but positive things to say about the club and city," said Lowe.
I also really enjoyed my visit to Ireland with the Maori All Blacks last year.
Lowe's signature comes on the back of news last week that Leinster had secured the services of Australian forward Scott Fardy ahead of the 2017/18 season. | Students have been moved from university tower blocks after they were found to have the same cladding as the Grenfell Tower block in London.

Poppyscotland, the charity behind the appeal, give "life-changing" support to members of the armed forces community in Scotland.
The appeal raises more than £2m every year to provide advice and specialist support to veterans.
The Poppyscotland appeal for 2015 has a theme of "donate like you mean it".
Colin Flinn, head of fundraising at Poppyscotland, said he wanted to raise money to make sure that "those in the Armed Forces community are not disadvantaged and can live full lives".
He said: "The poppy means different things to different people so this year we're asking people to tell us what the poppy means to them and then, importantly, donate like they mean it.
"We can't achieve this without the public so we are urging them to get behind us and support the appeal once again."
This year's appeal was launched by Sanjeev Kohli, the actor best known for his role as Navid in the sitcom Still Game, at Glasgow Queen Street station.
Mr Kohli shared what the poppy means to him in a selfie booth - one of six booths coming to Scottish train stations over six days.
He said: "I'm proud to be launching the 2015 Scottish Poppy Appeal and my poppy means thank you. Thank you to the brave servicemen and women who lay their lives on the line so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today, and thank you to Poppyscotland who look after those who've looked after us.
"I hope the public will join me in sharing what the poppy means to them and then donate like they mean it so that Poppyscotland can carry on its life-changing work."

Most try to paint their organisation as a picture of nirvana, but Mark Dodson doesn't bother. To the head of the Scottish Rugby Union, there's really no point.
Dodson knows how fiendishly difficult it is to fund the game right now, from professional club rugby to the grassroots and everything in between. The Pro12 has many strengths, but a cash cow it is not.
The league makes about £12m a year in broadcast revenues. That compares with north of £40m a year in the Premiership in England and, from the 2019-20 season, £76m a year in France. The financial gap to the big leagues was always wide, but for the Scots and their Celtic cousins it's only getting wider and more troubling.
The Celtic nations are vulnerable. TV cash continues to flood into the markets of their near-neighbours like a fast-running river giving them a vastly increased spending - and poaching - power.
Last season, Bath wanted David Denton, formerly of Edinburgh, and they cheerily coughed up six figures to get him out of his contract early. Racing 92 wanted Leone Nakarawa, Glasgow's one-time totem, and they slapped down a wad of notes in front of Scottish Rugby chiefs to get him out of Glasgow before time.
That's on top of the rock 'n' roll salary they're paying him, the kind of sum that Glasgow couldn't hope to match in their wildest dreams.
Who's the next target of the wealthy raiders from England and France? Stuart Hogg? Jonny Gray? WP Nel? John Hardie? One thing is certain - the better these guys play for their clubs, the more chance they have of getting an offer that their employers couldn't hope to match.
"The truth is that the French and the English have stolen a march and we understand that we have to look at ourselves," says Dodson. "If we don't do something with the Pro 12, I think it's a bleak prospect.
"We're finding it very difficult to hang on to our top players. Even the people who aren't leaving are demanding more. Unless we do something different we're going to struggle."
Scotland have, more or less, maxed-out on their revenue streams. They've sold the naming rights to Murrayfield to BT. They've got broadcast revenues that are now at the top of their cycle and it's still not enough. On Saturday, Dodson will announce record turnover of £47.3m - "an historic high" - but it does little to breach the financial gap when some of the English and French heavy-hitters have got multi-millionaires (or billionaires) at the helm "hoovering up the best players in the world."
The notion of expanding the Pro12 into America has been floated in the recent past. It's still floating. The embryonic plan would see one or two American clubs from the east coast parachuted into the league in time for the 2018-19 season.
These clubs would have coaching and player assistance from the Celtic nations in the beginning, a sharing of knowledge of personnel. Super Rugby has shown that the travel issue can be overcome with clever scheduling and enough money in the game. Quite where the Italians fit in is not clear.
It sounds fanciful, but you can't mistake Dodson's intent, driven by a need to bring more money into his organisation to avoid an exodus of talent.
"We've got to identify markets that matter and we have to be open-minded," he says. "To stay as we are isn't really an option. It's been out in the press that we will look at the eastern seaboard of North America (New York, Boston, Atlanta) to explore a new market that could provide a new team or two teams along with broadcast income. I think it's something we have to do.
"I understand why people would think it unrealistic. What we are doing now is working with individuals who are testing those markets for us. We're going to find out if it's feasible. We have to see if the big cities, and their businesses, want to invest.
"Our indications are that there is an amount of interest from American rugby and corporate America. There'll be a process that takes place over the next two to three months that will flush it out. There's a new mindset in the Pro12 now. I think it's appropriate that we do this - and that we do it with some speed.
"We don't want to leave this to 2020, we have to make this happen in a fairly short period of time or find something else. We're seriously investigating the possibility. I'd like to think it'll happen. It's the most attractive market that we can see."
Dodson also spoke of the conundrum that is the global rugby season, the vexed business of the major nations, from the northern and southern hemisphere, trying to agree on a universal Test-match calendar. Such chat has been going on for many years and there's scarcely been an inch of progress made.
"We've had a debate since 2007 and nothing happens. We meet periodically around the world.
"We find that we can't agree on very much. The northern hemisphere wants one thing and the southern hemisphere wants another.
"There's been endless conversations. We'd prefer a harmonised global season, but if we can't come to a conclusion then we'll do what is right for us. If that means we have home and away Six Nations and no autumn internationals and no summer tours then I'd be up for that.
"You'd play a Six Nations pod in November and then another in its traditional slot in the spring. It wouldn't be ideal, but I'll look at anything. If we can't get a common understanding on a global season then we have to do what is right for our teams because that's what everyone else is doing.
"If we're going to be pressured by people to change our season and we lose millions of pounds as a result then I'm not for being pushed around."
Brian Sandoval said the California-based company will use the plant to make cheaper and more efficient batteries for future cars.
Correspondents say the factory will be a key part of Tesla's ambitions of taking on major automobile companies.
The "gigafactory" is predicted to bring nearly $100bn into Nevada's economy.
Mr Sandoval said that he hoped that target could be reached within the next 20 years, simultaneously reducing Tesla's battery costs by 30%.
Tesla will prepare, provide and manage the land and buildings, while Panasonic will make and supply the lithium-ion battery cells.
The plant is to be located in an industrial park in Storey County, about 25km (15 miles) east of Reno, an area that currently has a population of around 4,000.
Nevada fended off competition from Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and California as the site for the factory, which is expected to create 6,500 jobs with another 16,000 more indirectly.
Mr Sandoval said that the plant will become the "world's largest and most advanced battery factory".
He described the selection of Nevada as a "historic day" for the state.
Tesla chief executive and co-founder Elon Musk said that while Nevada's offer to his company "was not the biggest incentive package", the state had proved it "can do things quickly" and "get things done".
Yoshihiko Yamada of Panasonic said in July that the factory would help the electric vehicle market grow.
Sales of zero-emission electric vehicles currently make up less than 1% of the world's car market.
Tydfil Jenkins, 80, was heading home after taking cake to her friend when she was knocked over on Bethania Street, Maesteg, Bridgend county, on Tuesday evening.
A 35-year-old will appear in court on Thursday charged with causing her death by careless or inconsiderate driving.
Mrs Jenkins' family described her as a bingo loving straight-talker who would be missed.
The man, from Maesteg, has also been charged with causing death by driving unlicensed or uninsured, causing death by driving while disqualified and fraud by false representation.
He will appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court.
In a tribute, Mrs Jenkins' family said: "Tydfil was a much loved mother to Terry, Hayley and the late Wendy and was also a loving grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother.
"Tydfil loved going to the bingo with her friends and she was a straight-forward woman - what you saw was what you got.
"She would say: 'Take me as I am, if you don't like it, tough!' That's just who she was."
The University of British Columbia (UBC) fired Mr Galloway earlier this year because of unspecified "serious accusations".
Media reported accusations of bullying, sexual harassment and sexual assault.
Mr Galloway's lawyer says the author "regrets his conduct" but denies the most serious allegations.
The writer faces no criminal charges and has filed a complaint over his dismissal.
The university has never revealed the substance of the accusations against Mr Galloway or the results of the investigation conducted by a former British Columbia supreme court judge, citing privacy for both Mr Galloway and his accusers.
Speaking about the allegations for the first time, Mr Galloway's lawyer Brent Olthuis said that the sole complaint substantiated by the university's investigation was that Mr Galloway engaged in "inappropriate behaviour with a student".
"Both the student and Mr Galloway were married at the time. The relationship developed into an affair that lasted approximately two years," Mr Olthuis confirmed in a written statement sent to media.
"Mr Galloway profoundly regrets his conduct and wishes to apologise for the harm that it has caused.
"He does not seek to minimise it or to hide from it. He seeks fair treatment for all involved, and an end to the scurrilous assertions and accusations that have proliferated in the vacuum of information."
According to Mr Olthuis, the university also investigated "specific complaints of a sexual nature from 2011" related to one complainant. Mr Olthuis said the university's investigation concluded "on a balance of probabilities that Mr Galloway had not committed sexual assault."
Mr Galloway's case received considerable media attention since he was suspended over a year ago. The university also became the subject of considerable scorn, after over 80 of Canada's brightest literary talents came to his defence in an open letter to UBC.
In the letter published 14 November, writers including Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Madeleine Thien and David Cronenberg demanded an independent investigation into how UBC handled the allegations against the creative writing professor and bestselling author.
The authors have since faced criticism that, by attacking the lack of due process they saw afforded to Mr Galloway, they are turning a blind eye to "rape culture".
Thirteen authors, including Camilla Gibb and Miriam Toews, have since removed their names from the letter.
"I may have been inadvertently complicit in contributing to a culture of shaming and silencing," Ms Gibb wrote on Facebook.
A number of others have added their names to the list.
The 54-year-old took over at Field Mill in November 2016 and guided the Stags to a 12th-placed finish in League Two.
Swindon boss Luke Williams left earlier this month after their relegation from League One.
Chairman John Radford said Evans was "fully committed" to the club and they would allow for "no distractions" as they look to win promotion next season.
He added: "I have refused Swindon Town permission to talk to our manager and work continues behind the scenes at our club as we put together a squad which we believe will be highly competitive in Sky Bet League Two next season.
"Steve has my full backing as we aim to fulfil the dreams of a town and its people."
Evans, who previously had spells with Crawley, Rotherham and Leeds, has already signed goalkeeper Conrad Logan and defender Zander Diamond for next season.
The 28-year-old, capable of playing in defence or midfield, has signed a one-year deal with the option of a second.
Krantz, whose move is subject to international clearance, joins after eight years with Swedish side Linkoping, where she won a league title and played Champions League football.
"She brings with her a lot of experience," said boss Rick Passmoor.
It bars him from running for president next year against Vladimir Putin.
But Mr Navalny, who denies the charges, has vowed to take part in the race regardless. It was not immediately clear if this was legally possible.
His conviction came in a retrial after the European Court of Human Rights ruled the first trial to be unfair.
The court in the provincial city of Kirov found Mr Navalny guilty of embezzlement in relation to a timber company called Kirovles, for which he was also handed a 500,000-rouble ($8,500; £6,700) fine.
Russian media debate Navalny's fate
Mr Navalny, 40, is known for his anti-corruption campaign, which targeted senior officials close to the Kremlin. He says the case against him is an effort to keep him out of politics.
He had recently stepped up his political activity after announcing plans last year to run for the presidency in 2018. Mr Putin is allowed by the constitution to run for a second consecutive six-year term, but he has not said yet if he plans to do so.
Mr Putin has already served three terms as president in total but just two of those consecutively.
Mr Navalny's rise as a force in Russian politics began in 2008 when he started blogging about alleged malpractice and corruption at some of Russia's big state-controlled corporations.
He described the president's United Russia as "the party of crooks and thieves", a phrase that appeared to resonate with many in Russia.
He stood for Moscow mayor in 2013 and got more than a quarter of the vote, a surprise to many.

The outspoken critic of President Putin said the sentence in the case, which he claims was politically motivated, was a sign that the Kremlin considered him to be too dangerous to take part in the election campaign. He has vowed to appeal against the verdict.
"We don't recognise this ruling. I have every right to take part in the election according to the constitution and I will do so. I will continue to represent the interests of people who want to see Russia a normal, honest and non-corrupt country," he told reporters after the judge announced the sentence.
But the legality of his candidacy is in question, as under Russian law anyone is banned from running for office for 10 years after being convicted of a serious crime. Separately, the constitution bans anyone from running who is physically in prison.
Mr Navalny was allowed to stand as a candidate for the mayoralty of Moscow despite his suspended sentence in 2013.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has dismissed concerns raised about Mr Navalny's absence undermining the legitimacy of the election.
"We believe any concerns about this are inappropriate," he said, speaking before the trial concluded.
It took the judge well over three hours to read his verdict to the stuffy courtroom - at a fast mumble and with the occasional deep sigh. Towards the end he knocked the microphone away, and from then on was barely audible at all. But his final, guilty decision - once confirmed - was no surprise.
Even before the hearing began, Alexei Navalny told me he wasn't expecting anything good to come of it. The activist insists that this whole case was meant to stop his corruption investigations and to ensure he had a serious criminal conviction to bar him from running for president. Mr Navalny plans to dispute that law as a violation of Russia's constitution.
Mr Navalny has been convicted of embezzling timber worth 16m roubles ($500,000; £330,000) from the Kirovles state timber company while working as an adviser to Kirov's governor, Nikita Belykh.
It was a retrial of the original 2013 case - and another five-year suspended sentence - that was quashed by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which said he was not given a fair hearing.
The ECHR also said the original trial had failed to address allegations that it was politically motivated.
At the time, the verdict was widely condemned by the European Union and the US, with opposition supporters clashing with police in Moscow, St Petersburg and other cities.
And last week, the ECHR ordered Russia to pay the leading opposition figure more than €63,000 (£54,000; $67,000) in compensation, saying his right to peaceful protest had been violated multiple times, in cases dating back to 2012.
At the start of the verdict on Wednesday, judge Alexei Vtyurin said the court had established that Mr Navalny had "organised" the theft.
Mr Navalny is likely to only serve 18 months of the five-year suspended sentence because the judge has taken into account time served from the previous sentence before the ECHR ruling, his lawyer told journalists.
The M20 is the main route through the county, but a 23-mile stretch of the coast-bound carriageway is currently shut.
The closure was ordered as part of Operation Stack, which is implemented whenever there is disruption to Channel crossings, and involves lorries being parked or "stacked" along the motorway.
The current closure is due to the ongoing Calais migrant crisis.
Local roads are also affected as motorists going about their daily business - and lorry drivers too - look for alternative routes.
It has led to heavy congestion in town centres, villages and country lanes across south-east Kent.
Jenny Chessman lives on the Orchard Heights estate in Ashford, close to the Drovers roundabout, which has consistently been at a standstill.
"We're prisoners on our own estate... people are using every other route to try to get around the problem," she said.
"There are so many lorries causing absolute chaos."
Chris Wolfe runs a wholesale flower business from Ashford and said getting around was impossible, with side roads gridlocked and unable to cope, and everybody "jumping the lights".
"It's the wedding season and sometimes flowers have arrived 15 hours late, so we've been delivering late at night," she said.
"There are a lot of angry, frustrated people out there."
Linda Farrier, who runs a family funeral directors in Dover, said the firm was having to add extra time on to most journeys.
"It's not just funerals, it's also collecting the deceased from hospitals," she said, adding that some mourners had even been unable to get to funerals because of delays on the road.
Residents have complained of spending hours sitting in traffic, with parked lorries blocking junctions and roundabouts.
Ken and Jeanette Green drove from Folkestone to Kingston, south London, with their cousin Dave Williams on Wednesday in a round trip that took more than 10 hours.
"It was the worst journey I have ever had," Mr Williams said.
He recalled how they were visiting a sick relative in hospital and got almost as far as Ashford on the M20 when all the lanes came to a halt because Operation Stack had suddenly been brought in on the London-bound carriageway.
Mr Green said they were at a standstill for at least three hours.
"It's ridiculous, and a national disgrace," he said.
Paget Silvester, from Lympne, works 12-hour night shifts as a healthcare assistant in a nursing home in Blackheath, south-east London.
Her journey to and from work normally takes just over an hour, but has been taking up to three-and-a-half hours.
But she and her husband, who also has to drive up the M20 to Maidstone for his job, have decided to turn the situation around.
"We have a small caravan, and we're going to tow it to Bearsted to a caravan site to live there and cut our journey times down," she said.
"We're trying to turn a desperate situation into something a little bit easier."
Russia confirmed earlier that the hull of the Liman, part of its Black Sea Fleet, had sustained a breach, with crew working to keep it afloat.
The cause of the collision is unclear but fog was reported in the area.
The ship hit a Togo-flagged boat carrying livestock, Turkish media say.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim called his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, to express his sadness over the collision, sources in the Turkish prime minister's office were quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
The Russian Black Sea Fleet (BSF) passes through the Bosphorus Strait for deployments in the Mediterranean, notably in Syria.
All 78 crew aboard the Liman were safely evacuated, the Turkish coastal authority said in a statement (in Turkish) on its website.
It collided with the Youzarsif H freighter, reportedly 29km (18 miles) from the Turkish town of Kilyos on the Black Sea coast just north of the city of Istanbul, and had sunk by 14:48 (11:48 GMT).
It was not clear whether either vessel was heading to the Bosphorus Strait at the time, Reuters news agency reports.
The BSF said the Russian crew had followed all the rules of sailing and manoeuvring and it suggested the incident had been caused by the other ship, Russia's Interfax news agency reports.
A former commander of the fleet, Adm Viktor Kravchenko, told Interfax the event was "out of the ordinary".
"There have been collisions but I do not remember a case like this, of a vessel, a warship sinking after it," he said.
The freighter reportedly sustained minor damage in the incident.
Built in Gdansk, Poland, the Liman was launched in 1970, when it served with the USSR's Northern Fleet before joining the BSF in 1974, according to the kchf.ru naval website (in Russian).
Based at Sevastopol in Crimea, the territory annexed from Ukraine by Russia in 2014, it was a regular visitor to the Syrian port of Tartus for decades, the site notes.
In 1999, the Liman made international headlines when it was deployed to the Mediterranean to monitor Nato operations against Yugoslavia.
The Welshman, who has had surgery after fracturing his tibia and fibula, says he has a "long period of recovery ahead".
Rowe, Team Sky's road captain, broke a rib in a crash on the opening stage of this year's Tour de France but rode on to help Chris Froome win the title.
"I'll be back, when I don't know, but I'll be back," tweeted. Rowe, 27.
Speaking about the incident, he said: "I jumped down into the water but landed in a shallow section on my right leg. I knew straight away that it was a bad one."
Rod Ellingworth, Rowe's coach, added: "Obviously it's a serious injury and so Luke's going to be off the bike for a while."
The woman, 29, who asked not to be named, said she would hear Daniel Pelka yelling two or three times a night from inside the family's Coventry home, but thought he was having nightmares.
Another neighbour said he called police after he was threatened by Mariusz Krezolek, who was convicted of Daniel's murder alongside the child's mother Magdelena Luczak on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, it emerged that Krezolek is wanted in Poland for an unconnected drinking and driving charge.
West Midlands Police said he would not face being extradited because a warrant for his arrest was never issued in Poland.
The 29-year-old neighbour said: "I used to be able to hear Daniel playing. He used to cry a lot but I never knew why. He would scream in the early hours of the morning. Two or three times a night. We thought maybe he was having a nightmare."
She said she saw Krezolek, 34, and Luczak, 27, the day after Daniel's death.
"The day after the ambulance came to the house (after Daniel's death) Krezolek and Luczak went out shopping. They came back with food. They were acting normal. The mother didn't have a tear in her eye," she said.
Another neighbour said he was threatened by Krezolek.
"He would not speak politely," said the man in his fifties.
"He was aggressive. There were some builders doing some work outside once and he came out and told them to stop making so much noise.
"He grabbed me by the shirt and pushed me against a wall. He said, 'tell them to stop working or you will see the result'.
"I called the police straight away and they came round and had a word. I was scared living here. At one point I was thinking about selling my house."
During a nine-week trial, a jury at Birmingham Crown Court heard Daniel had been beaten and starved. His emaciated body was likened by a doctor to that of a concentration camp victim.
The court heard Daniel's head injury was one of 30 injuries he suffered and he weighed just 14.8kg (32.6lb) in January 2011 and 13.8kg (30.4lb) three weeks before his death.
Another neighbour, Komal Dulai, said she was shocked by what had happened.
"They seemed like an all right family," she said.
"Daniel was quite a calm boy; a well behaved child. You did not get him running in the road. I saw them very rarely but when I did they were very normal. They did not argue."
The report reveals many hospitals force drivers to pay as soon as they arrive - so some patients may overestimate and overpay for their stay.
And a third of hospital trusts only offer car park payments in cash - with no credit or debit card options.
Health officials said patients should not have to deal with the added stress.
Health Minister Lord O'Shaughnessy added: "NHS organisations are locally responsible for the methods used to charge, and we want to see them coming up with flexible options that put patients and their families first."
While car parking is largely free at hospitals in Scotland and Wales, many hospitals in England charge visitors, patients and staff, as do some in Northern Ireland.
The RAC asked all 206 hospital trusts in England questions under a freedom of information request in 2016. More than 160 responded and the majority - 125 - charged for car parking.
Forty trusts said they do not allow drivers to pay for parking when they exit the car park - leaving people to guess how long they would need to be in hospital and making some rush back to their car to avoid penalties.
A similar number of trusts said that they offered pay-on-exit parking at some but not all hospital sites.
Meanwhile 36 trusts said they allowed people to pay when their visit was over at all hospitals while the rest could not provide any data.
RAC spokesman Simon Williams said anyone arriving at hospital - either as a patient or a visitor - had far more important things to worry about than paying for parking.
He added: "In the 21st Century we also think it is unreasonable to expect drivers to have to estimate how long their visit to hospital might take."
At the same time RAC data suggests only 41 trusts allowed patients and visitors to pay by credit or debit card at all hospitals.
And 31 provided card payment options at only some of their sites.
The RAC urged more hospitals to put credit, debit card, mobile phone and contactless payment facilities in place so fewer drivers would be "expected to carry pocketfuls of change in order to park legally".
Mr Williams said: "Things should be made as stress-free as possible and that includes taking the pain out of paying to park."
Commenting on the report, Dr Mike Smith, of the Patients Association, said the report showed the ongoing issues of using outdated payment machines and forcing customers to overpay for parking had yet to be sufficiently addressed.
He added: "Our helpline has received calls regarding this unacceptable overcharge, which we regard as simply a tax on ill health."
Meanwhile the report suggests the arrival of the new one pound coin will mean many machines will have to be upgraded.
The motoring organisation is calling on hospitals to work with car park operators to improve their systems as they upgrade and to publically announce an estimate of when patients and visitors can expect the changes to be in place.
Southmead Hospital's Brunel car park in Bristol has automatic number plate recognition systems which detect number plates as cars are driven in.
This is seen as an example of "really good practice" by the RAC.
When visitors are ready to leave the fee is calculated based on their length of stay and they can pay using credit or debit cards.
The hospital also has a free patient drop-off zone, available for 20 minutes.
Longer-term visitors and patients can pay for cheaper seven-day passes And long-term carers visiting patients in hospital frequently can apply for a carer's pass. If granted this allows carers to park for free.
Last year a report from the Press Association suggested hospitals in England collected more than £120m from parking fees in 2015 - up by 5% on 2014.
Many trusts defended the charges, saying the money was put back into patient care or maintaining car parks.
The chief executive of the Patients Association said it was unfair that hospital parking in Wales and Scotland was largely free, while patients in England had to pay.
Jane Andrews, from Cleethorpes, north-east Lincolnshire, and an ex-dresser to the Duchess of York, murdered businessman Tom Cressman in 2000.
The duchess had employed her for nine years and was involved in police efforts to her track down.
A spokesman for the Parole Board said a three-member panel of the board had directed the release of Andrews.
He added: "The decision to release is a matter for the board, which is independent. Arrangements and the date of the release are a matter for the Ministry of Justice.
"We are unable to comment further on the details of this case."
Andrews went on the run after stabbing her lover at the flat they shared in Fulham, south-west London, after he refused to marry her.
She hit him around the head with a cricket bat while he slept in their bed and then plunged an 19cm kitchen knife into his chest, before going on the run.
Four days after the murder, Andrews was found in her car in a lay-by in Cornwall, having taken an overdose of painkillers. She told police she panicked after killing her boyfriend by accident, in self-defence.
During the police search, the duchess left her two voicemail messages, urging Andrews to give herself up.
She also gave a witness statement to police - but it was not included in Andrews' four week trial at the Old Bailey in 2001, where she was was ordered to serve at least 15 years in jail.
That sentence was reduced by three years on appeal.
In 2009 Andrews absconded from East Sutton Park, an open prison in Maidstone, before being apprehended days later.
"That," she said, gesturing towards the sweets, "was to celebrate the birth of the 102nd baby."
The baby in question had been born under the Jiyo Parsi scheme, a federal government initiative launched in 2013 to stem the decline of the India's Parsi population. Dr Gandevia is senior member of this initiative.
Every baby born is a moment for celebration in the dwindling community that traces its ancestry to Zoroastrian refugees who landed on the coast of the western Indian state of Gujarat around the 8th Century.
Fleeing Islamic persecution in Persia, the new arrivals integrated with the local populations, whilst maintaining their distinctive ethnic identity. As a highly-educated and prosperous community, their success and influence has been far in excess of their size. And that size is ever-shrinking.
With each census, the number of Parsis has dropped, even as India's population of 1.3 billion people has grown.
The latest 2011 census put the number of Indian Parsis at 57,264, a fall from 1,14,000 in 1941, and extinction has increasingly become a reality.
Jiyo Parsi is an ambitious plan to halt that.
For its first phase - which will conclude in a few months - the scheme received 100 million rupees ($1.5m;£1.1m) to defray costs of fertility treatments for Parsi couples earning less than 2m rupees a year.
The campaign also sought to encourage Parsis to go forth and multiply through advertising, counselling and outreach efforts, .
That flipped the script on family planning, a key part of Indian government policy for decades.
When it was first announced in September 2013, the scheme quickly became both a headline and a punchline. It's quirky outreach included ad campaigns that urged couples to "Be responsible, don't use a condom tonight" and told young men to cut the umbilical chord and marry because, "isn't it time you broke up with your mom?"
But even though some objected that the campaign reduced women to their uteruses, it appears to have made a dent.
"The scheme created an enthusiasm and a buzz," Ms Gandevia told the BBC. "People were pessimistic but this has been a ray of hope."
Most of the babies have been born in Mumbai, which has India's largest concentration of Parsis. The number includes five pairs of twins and a roughly equal number of boys and girls.
One woman who declined to be identified claimed she had given up on having a child after repeated efforts which drained both her patience and money, but said that the financial assistance and counselling under the Jiyo scheme helped her conceive.
Another woman said: "At the age of 41 when most women start experiencing the symptoms of menopause, I am experiencing the symptoms of a long-awaited pregnancy. At the end of every tunnel there is light."
Before she became a coordinator for the scheme, Ms Gandevia, a social scientist and Parsi herself, had studied this tightly-knit group for more than a decade.
She says the first cause for alarm was in 2001, when census figures showed a sharp drop.
"That was the time the bells should have started ringing. the writing was on the wall," she said.
More than 30% of Parsis don't marry, and an equal proportion are more than 60-years-old. The total fertility rate for Parsis- the number of children a woman has - has dropped to 0.8. The average for India is 2.3, and 2.1 is the figure at which a population remains steady.

A combination of factors has been responsible for this: marrying outside the community or not at all, divorce, couples having only one child and late marriages.
Furthermore, women who marry outside the community are not allowed to raise their children in the faith.
Hence, the two-pronged efforts of the team, which believes that talking to people, without lecturing them on reproducing, can be a powerful motivator.
"It is all because of the advocacy work that I decided to have a second child," said a Mumbai-based woman who is in her first trimester. "In whatever way, it is my small contribution."
The woman said she initially decided not to have another child to focus on her career.
"But maybe subconsciously I wanted another kid," she said. "All of us are happy."
Emphasising community pride and the joys of kinship has been another thrust area - a new advertising campaign launching later this month will focus on family.
Impressed by their efforts, even the Japanese government - a country where the population is rapidly aging and the fertility rate has fallen to 1.4 - has approached Parzor Foundation, an implementing partner, to decode the success of the campaign.
"When we started, we were going into unknown territory," Shernaz Cama, the foundation's director told the BBC. "This had never been attempted by an urban, educated community before. Now we are seeing interest from all over."
Although the initial euphoria is palpable, it is too early to estimate any demographic impact it has had on the fertility rate.
"But 102 babies were born that would have otherwise not been there if Jiyo Parsi hadn't provided support," said Ms Gandevia. "That is a fact." She added that the real effects would be visible a generation from now.
Still, there are currently more Parsis dying than are being born every year. In Mumbai, for instance, about 750 Parsis die annually, and 200 children are born, pointed out Jehangir Patel, the editor and publisher of Parsiana, a community-focussed publication in the city.
"Even five or 20 more births per year more won't change the demographics," he said. "It's a good endeavour helping couples who might have otherwise not been able to have children but it won't drastically change the picture."

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated the trust as inadequate at providing a safe service and said it needed improving in three other areas.
It raised particular concerns over staff levels and the failure to ensure staff undertook basic training.
The trust said it was "disappointed" with the inadequate safety rating.
Dr Paul Lelliott, the deputy chief inspector of hospitals, said: "Humber NHS Foundation Trust has a number of issues it has to address.
"They have been rated as inadequate for safety, and a great deal of what we saw demonstrates that the trust had not learnt all the lessons from our last comprehensive inspection [in 2014]."
The trust was, however, rated as good at providing a caring service.
Inspectors found that patients were "treated with kindness, dignity and respect" and staff were "committed and compassionate".
The inspection was carried out by the CQC between 11 and 15 April, but inspectors also made separate unannounced visits.
The report said the trust needed to ensure it trains all qualified staff in immediate life support and that all staff are trained in the use of seclusion.
The trust's chief executive David Hill said he welcomed the CQC's findings and was pleased the workforce's compassion and commitment had been recognised.
Regarding issues around patient safety, he said: "We would like to reassure people that this rating is in a small number of services and we have taken immediate action to address the issues."
The U's came within four points of the play-offs in their first season back in the third tier this term.
Head coach Michael Appleton has held talks with Eales about how much money he will have to spend this summer.
"For me, it's about giving Michael the best budget that I can to make us competitive," Eales said.
Oxford finished eighth in the table and reached the EFL Trophy final at Wembley for the second year running.
A busy campaign in league and cup also saw them reach the FA Cup fifth round, knocking out higher league opposition in Rotherham and Newcastle United.
"I think our playing budget this season was the eighth or ninth-highest in League One from the statistics we can get from the EFL," Eales told BBC Radio Oxford.
"I'd like to see if we can get into the top-six budget. We would probably never be able to get into the top three as there's certain clubs who are on a different planet from our perspective.
"We've got to have a degree of flexibility. With the risk of losing a player to another club, there's the opportunity then for Michael to strengthen.
"It's a moveable feast depending on a number of variables, but the overall objective is to go into next season with a stronger squad."
The British Lung Foundation says IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) kills about 5,000 people a year, and is on the rise, but there is low awareness of the condition.
In 2013 the government invested only £600,000 in research, said the charity.
There are estimated to be about 15,000 people living with IPF in the UK.
Ruth Sabella of the British Lung Foundation said: "As rates of IPF continue to rise, we need to see significant improvements in service provision and research into the disease."
The charity said funding for research was lagging behind other conditions, such as leukaemia, which received more than £32m from all sources in 2013.
The latest figures from Cancer Research UK show that there are about 8,600 new cases of leukaemia a year and 4,800 deaths.
It wants the government to increase funding for IPF research to a level that will tackle the growing impact of the disease in the UK.
The cause of the condition, which leads to scarring of the lungs, is unknown.
Symptoms include shortness of breath, especially during exercise, which gradually gets worse, and a persistent dry cough.
There is currently no cure for IPF so treatment focuses on trying to relieve symptoms and slow its progression.
Some people may be put on the list for a lung transplant if their health is good enough.
What eventually followed was an epic bicycle journey from India to Europe - all for love.
Ms Von Schedvin was visiting India as a tourist when she spotted Mr Mahanandia in Delhi's Connaught Place district.
He had made a name for himself as a sketch artist and enjoyed a good reputation in the local press.
Intrigued by his claim of "making a portrait in 10 minutes", she decided to give it a try.
But she wasn't impressed with the result and decided to come back the next day.
The next day sadly, proved no better.
In his defence, Mr Mahanandia says he had been preoccupied with a prediction his mother had made several years ago.
As a schoolboy growing up in a village in the eastern Indian state of Orissa, he often faced discrimination from upper-caste students because he was a Dalit - considered to be at the bottom of India's caste hierarchy.
Whenever he felt sad, his mother would tell him that according to his horoscope, he would someday marry a woman "whose zodiac sign would be Taurus, she would come from a far away land, she would be musical and would own a jungle".
So when he met Ms Von Schedvin, he immediately remembered his mother's predictions and asked her if she owned a jungle.
Ms Von Schedvin, whose family comes from Swedish nobility, replied that she did own a forest and added that not only was she "musical" (she liked to play the piano) her zodiac sign was also Taurus.
"It was an inner voice that said to me that she was the one. During our first meeting we were drawn to each other like magnets. It was love at first sight," Mr Mahanandia told the BBC.
"I still don't know what made me ask her the questions and then invite her for tea. I thought she would complain to the police."
But her reaction turned out to be quite the opposite.
"I thought he was honest and wanted to know why he had asked me those questions," Ms Von Schedvin told the BBC.
After several conversations, she agreed to visit Orissa with him.
The first monument she saw there was the famous Konark temple.
"I became emotional when PK showed me the Konark. I had this image of the temple stone wheel framed in my student room back in London, but I had no idea where this place actually was. And here I was standing in front of it."
The two fell in love and returned to Delhi after spending a few days in his village.
"She wore a sari when she met my father for the first time. I still don't know how she managed. With blessings from my father and family, we got married according to tribal tradition," he said.
Ms Von Schedvin had driven to Delhi with her friends from Sweden along the famous hippie trail - crossing Europe, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan - to reach India in 22 days.
She said goodbye to him to start her return journey, but made him promise that he would follow her to her home in the Swedish textile town of Boras.
More than a year passed and the two kept in touch through letters.
Mr Mahanandia however, did not have enough money to buy a plane ticket.
So, he sold everything he owned, bought a bicycle and followed her along the same hippie trail.
His journey started on 22 January 1977 and he would cycle for around 70km (44 miles) every day.
"Art came to my rescue. I made portraits of people and some gave me money, while others gave me food and shelter," he said.
Mr Mahanandia remembers the world as being very different in the 1970s. For instance, he did not need a visa to enter most countries.
"Afghanistan was such a different country. It was calm and beautiful. People loved arts. And vast parts of the country were not populated," he said.
He said that people understood Hindi in Afghanistan, but communication became a problem once he entered Iran.
"Again art came to my rescue. I think love is the universal language and people understand that."
"Those were different days. I think people had more free time then to entertain a wanderer like me."
But did he ever feel tired?
"Yes, very often. My legs would hurt. But the excitement of meeting Charlotte and seeing new places kept me going," he said.
He finally reached Europe on 28 May - via Istanbul and Vienna, and then travelled to Gothenburg by train.
After several cultural shocks and difficulties in impressing Ms Von Schedvin's parents, the two finally got officially married in Sweden.
"I had no idea about European culture. It was all new to me, but she supported me in every step. She is just a special person. I am still in love just as I was in 1975," he says.
The 64-year-old now lives with Charlotte and their two children in Sweden and continues to work as an artist.
But he still doesn't understand "why people think it was a big deal to cycle to Europe".
"I did what I had to, I had no money but I had to meet her. I was cycling for love, but never loved cycling. It's simple."
More than 80 million voters were eligible to cast ballots in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Polls were also being held in the union territory of Pondicherry.
Regional parties dominate in Tamil Nadu, while Communists are trying to stage a comeback in Kerala.
Polls have already been held in West Bengal and Assam in April and May. All the votes will be counted on Thursday.
Shortly before polls closed turnout was put at 69% in Tamil Nadu while Kerala recorded 70%.
In Tamil Nadu, where polling was held in 232 seats, the BJP is seen as having little chance against the regional AIADMK and DMK parties, who are locked in a fierce contest.
The DMK, led by 91-year-old Muthuvel Karunanidhi, is trying to wrest power from the rival AIADMK party, which is led by the charismatic former film actress and current Chief Minister Jayaram Jayalalithaa.
The BJP is trying to secure a toehold in Kerala which has been traditionally ruled by either Congress-led governments or a coalition of left-wing parties.
This year, the left coalition, led by 92-year-old VS Achuthanandan, is trying to regain power from the Congress-led coalition.
Last week Mr Modi's comparison of Kerala with Somalia on infant mortality rates angered politicians and social media users.
Polls were also held in 30 seats in Pondicherry, where Chief Minister N Rangaswamy, the leader of a party comprising breakaway Congress party workers, is seeking re-election.
Chasing a target of 325, Nick Browne hit a career-best 99, with Jesse Ryder and Ravi Bopara scoring fifties.
Glamorgan's South African left-hander Colin Ingram was at his brilliant best, hitting 107 in 73 balls - including six sixes - as the visitors made 324-8.
Essex top the South Group and Glamorgan are fourth with two matches left each.
Glamorgan started with a century stand between David Lloyd (62) and Jacques Rudolph (44) while Will Bragg provided acceleration with 44 off 31 balls.
Ingram's innings continued a remarkable run of sublime form in 50-over cricket, with 367 runs in six innings in 2016, after making three centuries in five innings in 2015.
Experienced seamer David Masters, with 2-44 in his 10 overs, was the most economical of the home bowlers.
But Essex got off to a flying start thanks to Browne and Ryder, and looked favourites for most of their innings despite some fine fielding to keep the visitors in the game.
The experience of Ryan ten Doeschate (34 not out) and James Foster (26 not out) saw Essex home as Glamorgan's bowlers struggled to keep control at key stages.
The two teams now finish their T20 campaigns with two matches each in successive nights, the second of which is another meeting between them at Chelmsford on Friday.
Man of the match Nick Browne said: "It would have been nice to have got the hundred, but at the end of the day if I'd scored 99 and we'd lost then I'd be fuming with myself. I was disappointed not to see it home with myself and Ravi, but as a team we saw it over the line.
"Hopefully we are now through to the quarter-finals and can carry this momentum forward and go for a home tie.
"If we hadn't had Tendo and Fozz to see us over the line you would have been talking to Colin Ingram now instead of me."
Colin Ingram told BBC Sport Wales: "We had a respectable total although it was a really good wicket and we knew we'd have to bowl well.
"But they really batted well and also put good partnerships together after getting off to a good start to put us under pressure.
"My confidence is up and I've been trying to keep churning them out but I'm just gutted we lost today."
Susan Jones, 57, transferred the cash from CK Supermarkets' accounts where she had worked for 20 years to help out the farm in Llandeilo.
She was jailed for 45 months after pleading guilty to fraud at Swansea Crown Court on Friday.
Judge Peter Heywood described the theft as "staggering".
The court heard how the mother-of-four, who started working for the supermarket in 1994, handled all the company's accounts as her boss was "computer illiterate".
She started transferring the cash into her bank account in 2009 after her family farm ran into financial problems.
Over a four-year period Jones stole £955,368, using it to pay off her mortgage and for agricultural supplies.
The theft was eventually spotted following an audit by an accountant.
Frank Phillips, prosecuting, said the police only became involved when she failed to pay back the cash.
Terence Woods, defending, said Jones's farm had been in her family for several generations and she was "desperate not to lose it".
After the verdict, Iwan Jenkins, from the Crown Prosecution Service, described the case as complex, saying Jones had been "using her own system to keep track of the false payments".
"There was a lot of documentary evidence to assess but we were able to demonstrate exactly what she had done, resulting in a guilty plea," he said.
Built on the site of Alfred Barrow School in Duke Street, it will replace "old, inefficient" facilities.
A number of services, including three GP practices, a response base for the North West Ambulance Service and a pharmacy will operate from the centre.
Barrow GP Geoff Jolliffe said he was "delighted" to be creating a "much better" service for the community.
The development was approved by Barrow Borough Council's planning committee.
Demolition is likely to start this summer, with the new centre expected to be complete by the end of 2017.
The secondary school closed in 2009 and became part of Furness Academy.
During prime minister's questions, Mr Cameron said he wanted to make sure it remained a "very strong channel".
He was responding to a question Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire Conservative MP Simon Hart.
The broadcaster's grant from UK ministers is being cut from £6.7m to £5m by 2020, but most of S4C's funding now comes from the BBC licence fee.
Mr Hart said: "The prime minister has always been a staunch supporter of the Welsh TV channel S4C, set up under the Thatcher government.
"So could he use this opportunity to reinforce his support for the channel and the commitment we've made to safeguard its funding?"
Mr Cameron replied: "S4C is a very important part of our broadcasting structure, is very popular and well liked in Wales and I want to make sure we meet both the wording and the spirit of our manifesto promise to make sure this continues to be a very strong channel."
S4C chairman Huw Jones said he was "greatly encouraged by the nature of the prime minister's response".
"We hope that his commitment to honour the wording and the spirit of his party's manifesto undertaking to protect S4C funding means that the door is open to further discussions to give expression to that support," he said.
Mr Hart led a Commons debate on how Welsh language TV channel S4C should be funded in the future, during the early hours of Wednesday morning, in which the government said it was "very sympathetic" to calls for an independent review of broadcasting in Wales.
Culture Minister Ed Vaizey told MPs: "We have always said that we will look at S4C as part of the [BBC] charter review, but I have also made it clear that we are very sympathetic to calls for a more wide-ranging independent review as well because we want to continue to safeguard S4C and to see its success."
Liz Saville Roberts, Plaid Cymru MP for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, called for "an independent review of broadcasting in Welsh and of S4C, including the departmental cuts and the cuts to the BBC and the challenges of the new digital platforms".
Mr Hart said ministers "have not been particularly averse" to such a plan.
Warren, 25, joined Lewis Evans, Hallam Amos, Brok Harris, Nic Cudd, Rynard Landman and Ed Jackson in signing a new Dragons deal.
The centre or wing won a Test cap against the Barbarians in 2012 and has also played for Wales Under-20s and the Sevens side.
Warren joined the Dragons from the Scarlets in 2015.
Darren Kelly, 42, was found injured on Caister Drive, Basildon, at 21:30 BST. He died later at Basildon Hospital.
Chris Carroll, 20, of Pevensey Close, Pitsea; a boy, aged 17, from Pitsea; a boy, aged 16 from Basildon; and the girl, from Pitsea, will appear before Chelmsford magistrates on Saturday.
A girl of 13 was released on bail until 16 December pending further inquiries.
The girl, from Basildon, was arrested on suspicion of murder earlier in the week.
A post-mortem examination found Mr Kelly was likely to have died from "multiple stab wounds and blood loss", Essex Police said.
His friend Stuart Cullum, who had known the lorry driver for more than a decade, described him as "the life and soul of every party" and said he "wouldn't harm a fly".
Dozens of shacks built on stilts have been demolished in Makoko, where wooden canoes are a common form of transport.
An Lagos state official told the BBC that all illegal buildings in the water would be demolished.
Makoko is one of Nigeria's best known slums. Many residents are fishermen and some have migrated from neighbouring Togo and Benin.
It featured in the 2010 BBC film
Welcome to Lagos
, which angered the Nigerian government. It accused the film-makers of showing Nigeria in a negative light.
A letter was served on residents last week, giving them 72 hours to vacate their properties.
Several told the BBC they did not know where they and their families would sleep.
The BBC's Will Ross saw men using machetes to chop down the stilts of the wooden homes, while police watched from nearby boats.
The letter from the Lagos state authorities says the illegal constructions constituted an "environmental nuisance, security risk and an impediment to the economic and gainful utilisation of the waterfront" and undermined the "megacity status" of Lagos.
The authorities have not said how many people will be affected but community leaders say tens of thousands of people live in Makoko, the AFP news agency reports.
The slum is easily visible from the bridge which connects the Nigerian mainland to the city's rich island districts.
Our correspondent says the slum destruction is part of efforts to clean up Lagos.
State governor Babatunde Raji Fashola says he wants to get the city ready for its predicted population of 40 million people.
The city is building a light railway and has widened the roads, easing the city's once notorious traffic jams.
Isaac Nash, 12, from Huddersfield, was on holiday when he got into difficulty at Aberffraw in August 2014.
The volunteer lifeboat crew at Trearddur Bay have also bought a plaque which will be placed in its boathouse.
An inquest earlier this year concluded Isaac's death was through misadventure.
Addressing university chiefs, Mr Johnson said while there were academics who "go the extra mile", too many had adopted a "disengagement contract".
Teaching across the university sector had become "highly variable", he said.
Universities UK said strong support from government was essential for universities to fulfil their duties.
Speaking at the Universities UK annual conference in Guildford, Mr Johnson said too many institutions viewed "scholarly output" as key to their reputation and standing in international league tables.
"Teaching has regrettably been allowed to become something of a poor cousin to research in parts of our system," he said.
"I hear this when I talk to worried parents, such as the physics teacher whose son dropped out at the start of year two of a humanities programme at a prestigious London university, having barely set eyes on his tutor.
"Her other son, by contrast, studying engineering at Bristol, saw the system at its best: he was worked off his feet, with plenty of support and mostly excellent teaching.
"This patchiness in the student experience within and between institutions cannot continue. There is extraordinary teaching that deserves greater recognition. And there is lamentable teaching that must be driven out of our system."
Mr Johnson said with students in England facing fees of up to £9,000 a year, they deserved to know what they could expect from universities.
He hit out at what he described as a disengagement contract.
"This goes along the lines of: 'I don't want to have to set and mark much by way of essays and assignments which would be a distraction from my research, and you don't want to do coursework that would distract you from partying. So we'll award you the degree as the hoped-for job ticket in return for compliance with minimal academic requirements and due receipt of fees.'"
In July Mr Johnson announced plans for a teaching excellence framework that would give students more information about the teaching they will receive.
But the president of Universities UK, Prof Dame Julia Goodfellow, said strong support from government was essential for universities to play a full role in transforming people's lives and helping the economy to grow.
"Teaching excellence can only be delivered with stable and sustainable funding," Dame Julia said.
"This is essential to allow universities to continue to deliver a high-quality learning experience for students.
"Remember, our graduates are our teachers, our doctors, our engineers, innovators and wealth creators."
Ryan Mark Charlton, 23, from the Low Fell area of Gateshead, died after the crash on the A1 in the early hours of 19 April.
A 31-year-old man, of Cambridge Road in Middlesbrough, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at an accident.
He will appear before Gateshead Magistrates' Court on 29 October.
Stokes arrived on loan from Celtic in January and has scored two goals in 11 appearances, with his partnership with Jason Cummings failing to fire.
"You've got Anthony Stokes and all the hoo-ha with bringing him in and he's just not produced," McManus said.
"I don't think Stokes' attitude at times has been great."
Allied to the Irishman's struggles in front of goal - he has failed to find the net in his past seven matches - strike partner Cummings is also in the midst of a dip in form.
He has contributed 20 goals in all competitions for Hibs this season, but just one of those has come in his last six matches, and McManus believes manager Alan Stubbs will dispense with the striking partnership.
"The Stokes - Cummings partnership for me, it just doesn't work," McManus told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound programme.
"You've got two guys who want to sit in the box and play. It's like a Kris Boyd and an Ally McCoist kind of partnership. Both of them want to sit in the box, get the glory and score goals. You've got to have a mix and a blend and Hibs have not got that at the minute.
"I think you'll see the end of that partnership. I don't think that's worked at all."
McManus thinks Stubbs may try to bring Stokes back into form by pairing him with a new strike partner.
"You've got Chris Dagnall there who could come in and play. You've got James Keatings who could come in and play.
"Maybe if you play him beside somebody else who is going to run wide and do all his running for him, you get Anthony Stokes in the box more and create more chances.
"I would maybe go and play Stokes and Keatings or Stokes and Dagnall and give Cummings a little rest. Sit him on the bench and bring him back in in a couple of games time."
Patch, trained by Todd Pletcher, had his left eye removed because of inflammation last year.
However, he finished runner-up in April's Louisiana Derby - his first graded stakes - after competing in his first race in January.
"It seems to never faze him - he's a remarkable horse to recover as quickly as he did," said Pletcher.
Patch is a 40-1 shot for the $2m (£1.55m) Kentucky Derby in Louisville, the first leg of America's Triple Crown.
"It's a credit to him and his professionalism that he was able to adapt so seamlessly," Pletcher added.

Members of Unison and the University and College Union (UCU), are angry at university plans to axe 165 academic and support posts.
London Met says it needs to reduce costs after student numbers fell for the second consecutive year.
The university must reassess its plans or face a "spiral of decline", said Unison branch secretary Max Watson.
The walkout follows a strike last month by UCU members.
Members of both unions are picketing university buildings.
A university spokesman said it had put contingency plans in place to ensure minimal disruption to front-line services.
The job cuts followed a report last year "to review the size and shape of London Met, which showed that our cost structure is too large for a university of our size", said the spokesman.
"We therefore need to reduce our cost structure to be more in line with our student numbers, as well as universities in the capital similar to London Met.
"We have engaged fully with our staff unions to try to avoid the need for compulsory redundancies."
The two unions say strike action is a last resort and urge the university to reassess its plans and reopen negotiations.
"We have heard from the same senior management time and time again that their proposed cuts are essential to the survival of the university," said Mr Watson.
"As a result of this failed strategy, we are witnessing a spiral of decline - one that will continue if the university goes ahead with yet more job cuts."
UCU regional official Barry Jones said: "It is disappointing that the university is still refusing to budge over these proposed cuts.
"Instead of cutting back on jobs, the university should be building on its reputation for expanding access to education."
UCU fears the cuts will risk London Metropolitan's reputation for providing educational opportunities for disadvantaged groups.
Figures for 2012-13 suggest 52% of full-time undergraduate entrants were mature students, compared with 23% nationally, while 51% were from disadvantaged backgrounds, compared with 33% nationally, says the union.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said 469,696 new cars were registered in the month, a rise of 1.6% from 462,517 last year.
It is the highest sales total for September on record, but the figures also showed sales to private motorists fell for the sixth month in a row.
The best-selling new car in September was the Ford Fiesta.
Mike Hawes, chief executive of the SMMT, said: "September is always one of the biggest months for Britain's new car market.
"The new 66-plate, combined with a diverse range of exciting new models featuring the latest technology, has certainly helped draw buyers into showrooms."
The total number of cars registered so far this year has now reached 2.15 million, according to the SMMT. Fleet sales continued to drive growth, climbing 7.3% year on year in September.
But registrations to private motorists slipped by 1.7%, the sixth consecutive month of decline.
This followed "record levels of growth in 2015", the SMMT cautioned. But Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, warned consumers were "recoiling" from making big-ticket purchases due to uncertainty about the economy.
"Car manufacturers also are beginning to raise prices in response to sterling's depreciation," he added.
"In addition, much of the pent-up demand from households that put off car purchases during the recession also has now been satiated.
"As such, with growth in households' real incomes set to slow sharply, as inflation revives and firms pause on hiring, and loan rates now at a floor, we expect [private] car sales to continue to fall over the next year."

Mr Hawes also said the car industry continued to face uncertainty.
"Business and consumers place September orders many months in advance," he said.
"So the ability of the market to maintain this record level of demand will depend on the ability of government to overcome political uncertainty and safeguard the conditions that underpin consumer appetite."
In September, Mr Hawes warned that the success of the UK motor industry could be "jeopardised" if the UK left the single market following Brexit.
According to the SMMT data, the growth in registrations of alternatively fuelled vehicles continued to outpace the market in September, climbing 32.6% year on year. However, their market share remained small at 3.4%. | You don't tend to hear chief executives of major sporting bodies talking about "bleak prospects" and "perfect storms."

The Foxes - seven points off safety - barely troubled Hull, who were reduced to 10 men in the 72nd minute when Tom Huddlestone was shown a second yellow.
The best chances fell to Hull striker Nikica Jelavic, who headed over from six yards and scuffed a shot from a similar distance.
Abel Hernandez also had a fierce shot saved by Foxes keeper Mark Schwarzer.
Media playback is not supported on this device
That chance came in the closing minutes when the Tigers were down to 10 men after Huddlestone was dismissed by referee Jon Moss for a foul on Jamie Vardy.
It did not change the complexion of the match as Hull continued to look comfortable at the back thanks to the leadership and organisation of centre-back Michael Dawson.
His backline and the rest of the team look far more assured than they did back in December when they were in 19th place - two wins and only one defeat in their last six games suggest they have turned a corner.
They had only conceded four goals in the previous five, and against a Foxes side who had managed a mere four goals in their last six league outings, the likelihood was that Hull would improve upon that stat.
The only time they looked like conceding was when Leicester striker Andrej Kramaric failed by a fraction to get his boot on the end of a Riyad Mahrez cross in the first half.
Media playback is not supported on this device
They also created chances of their own, with top scorer Jelavic twice going close.
Hull's top scorer this season should have done better with his first opportunity, when he failed to get a good connection on a lay-off from Ahmed Elmohamady, and after the break when he headed over from close range.
The Croat did manage to put the ball in the net but Foxes keeper Schwarzer was judged to have been fouled by striker Dame N'Doye in the lead-up. Substitute Abel Hernandez also forced a good low save from Schwarzer with just a few minutes remaining.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson said this was a must-win game for his side. That chance has now gone - they cannot afford many more slip-ups.
Hull manager Steve Bruce:
"I've got no problem with Huddlestone's two yellow cards, but is every challenge now a yellow if you mis-time it?
"It got a bit angry towards the end, but for me the referee booked my two centre-backs for (fair) challenges.
"There's a raging debate about Chelsea in midweek and if we're not careful...I saw everyone surround Alex for a red card for his challenge.
"There wasn't a nasty challenge in the game yet we've had five yellow cards and a sending off. I never saw that coming."
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson:
"We've got 10 games left, six at home and we probably need to win five. Today's game shows how tough it can be.
"We are in the same sort of position as before. We have six games at home so our home form has to be drastically improved to give us the best chance.
"Today I think the players expected to get three points, so it is disappointing to come away with one.
"To get the three we needed to be more committed to our attacking play." | Bottom side Leicester City's predicament worsened as they were held to a goalless draw by 10-man Hull. | 31,776,458 | 760 | 30 | false |
