His family said in a statement he had passed away peacefully early on Sunday morning at his home near Sydney.
It said his final moments were spent with his family and wife of 61 years, Valmae, with whom he celebrated their anniversary on Friday.
He prepared the winners of almost 7,000 races during his training career, which began in 1953.
He won the Golden Slipper four times, the Caulfield Cup seven times, the Cox Plate five times, the VRC Oakes nine times and the Newmarket Handicap eight times.
Cummings' grandson and training partner, James, called him a "master trainer and a larger than life figure".
Leading Sydney trainer Gai Waterhouse said: "To all of us in the racing industry, Bart was a true icon. Everything that he envisaged was a success."
"Bart was always in a league of his own. His larger than life character and sharp wit will be sorely missed, said Peter V'landys, the chief executive of Racing New South Wales said.
He added that Cummings was "a legend in Australian sport, up there with the great Don Bradman".
Laurent Fabius's comments come a day after Syrian activists said hundreds of people died in such attacks in the Ghouta area of the capital, Damascus.
The UN has asked Syria to allow UN weapons inspectors already in the country to be allowed to investigate.
But there is no sign as yet that Damascus will allow this.
The UN team arrived in the city on Sunday and are staying about 15km (10 miles) from the site of the recent attacks.
By Frank GardnerBBC security correspondent
The chances of the UN chemical weapons inspectors in Syria accessing the true site of Wednesday's alleged chemical attack in time to make a clear judgement on responsibility are slim.
It took months to negotiate permission for them to visit other sites around the country. The Syrian government, backed by Russia, is resisting calls to give them access to the eastern Damascus suburb of Ghouta where this apparent atrocity took place. Part of the reason is the area is contested between government forces and rebels and is therefore unsafe.
If an agent such as sarin has been used, the UN team would need to get to the site within days before traces become so faint as to be inconclusive. And if, as the opposition claims, it was a government attack, then a delay of days or weeks would give it enough time for forensic evidence to become controversial and for evidence of munitions used to be removed. The Syrian government insists it was the rebels who carried out the attack.
But they only have a mandate to visit three sites previously agreed between the UN and the Syrian government, including the northern town of Khan al-Assal, where some 26 people were killed in an alleged chemical attack in March.
The Syrian government has described the latest allegations as "illogical and fabricated". The Syrian army said opposition forces had made up the claims to divert attention from their recent huge losses.
Heavy shelling continued around Ghouta on Thursday, reports say.
A spokesman for Ban Ki-moon, Eduardo del Buey, said on Thursday that the secretary general Ban Ki-moon believed the attacks "need to be investigated without delay".
Mr Ban was sending his disarmament chief Angela Kane to Damascus to press for an investigation, he said.
Earlier, Mr Fabius told the French BFM TV channel that if the use of chemical weapons was confirmed, "France's position is that there must be a reaction, a reaction that could take the form of a reaction with force".
He did not elaborate on whether that meant backing military action, but did rule out the idea of deploying troops inside Syria.
The US state department said it had yet to "conclusively determine" what had taken place in Damascus, but that it was urgently gathering information.
If President Bashar al-Assad's government was found to be behind a chemical weapons attack it would be "an outrageous and flagrant escalation", spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
President Barack Obama warned last year that the use of such weapons would cross a "red line".
The British Foreign Office said earlier in a statement that the UK and 36 other countries had formally referred the latest allegations to Mr Ban, and called for inspectors "to be granted the necessary access to enable their investigation into these latest allegations as a matter of urgency".
"We believe a political solution is the best way to end the bloodshed," said the statement, but added that the UK has "said many times we cannot rule out any option... that might save innocent lives in Syria".
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also stressed the need for an urgent response, and criticised the lack of UN action.
In pictures: Damascus attacks
How should the world respond?
On Wednesday, the UN Security Council failed to agree on a statement condemning the attack at an emergency meeting.
It was blocked by China and Russia, which have repeatedly backed the Syrian government since the crisis began.
Russia is supporting calls for an investigation, however, because it believes the opposition might have carried out the attack itself, as "premeditated provocation" in an attempt to win the backing of the UN.
Opposition activists said that more than 1,000 people were killed after government forces launched rockets with toxic agents into the Damascus suburbs in the Ghouta region early on Wednesday.

How to investigate chemical arms allegations
The BBC has been unable to independently confirm the death toll.
Activists said Wednesday's attack took place as part of heavy government bombardment in the region surrounding Damascus, with government forces trying to drive out rebel forces. The areas affected included Irbin, Duma and Muadhamiya.
Video footage shows dozens of bodies with no visible signs of injuries, including small children, and survivors being treated in makeshift hospitals, with victims, including many children, having convulsions.
Chemical weapons experts have told the BBC that footage appears genuine and that the injuries shown are consistent with nerve agents.
While it is not clear how many died in the bombardment of the sites and how many deaths were due to any exposure to toxic substances, experts say it would be almost impossible to fake so many dead and injured including children and babies.
Both the rebels and government forces have accused each other of using chemical weapons throughout the 28-month conflict.
Syria is believed to have large undeclared stockpiles of mustard gas and sarin nerve agent.
The government has implied it has chemical weapons, but said they would not be used against civilians.
More than 100,000 people are believed to have been killed during the 28-months of conflict Syria.
The Frenchman finished with a 26-second advantage over Northern Ireland's Kris Meeke, who was second.
Volkswagen Motorsport's Ogier, 31, secured his third successive title in September in a dominant season with co-driver Julien Ingrassia.
Wales' Elfyn Evans finished sixth in the race and seventh in the championship.
Finland's Jari-Matti Latvala finished second in the drivers' standings ahead of Andreas Mikkelsen of Norway, who was third in Wales
Meeke and co-driver Paul Nagle were fifth overall in the driver's Championship with his Citroen team runners-up in the manufacturers' championship behind Volkswagen.
Ogier's victory on a storm-lashed weekend in Wales was his eighth win of the season but his thoughts were with those affected by Friday's deadly attacks in Paris.
"We're happy to finish the season like that from a sporting view, but my mind wasn't really there this weekend," Ogier said.
"It was hard to carry on after the tragedy in France and our thoughts were with the people.
"We wanted this victory as our small sign for those who have been touched, and to show we must be even stronger against these things."
Speaking in Berlin on the first full day of his presidency, he was joined by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
She said the pair had a "joint conviction" that they needed to "deepen the European Union".
Both said they would work together more closely on defence, eurozone reform and reducing bureaucracy.
Mrs Merkel said the EU depended on France being strong, and that she and Mr Macron had a "joint conviction that we are not only going to deal with the British exit from the European Union, but we also need to deepen the EU".
She also made her most positive comments yet about eurozone reforms mooted by Mr Macron, saying it may be possible to change EU treaties as would be required to enact them.
"From the German point of view, it's possible to change the treaty if it makes sense," she said. "I would be ready to do this, but first we will work on what we want to reform."
There was a warm welcome for the new French president both from Angela Merkel and - unusually - a crowd singing and dancing outside the chancellory.
In part that's because Berlin is overwhelmingly relieved that it's not Marine Le Pen walking up the red carpet. But it's also because, in Mr Macron, Angela Merkel has a counterpart with whom she shares a desire to reshape the European Union following Britain's departure.
There is a genuine hope here that the French-German relationship, once so fundamental to the European Project, can be rekindled.
But some of Mr Macron's ideas about economic reform have raised eyebrows in Berlin - in an election year Angela Merkel won't risk anything which voters might perceive as a German bailout of struggling member states.
And, despite the smiles on Monday, Mr Macron has yet to prove himself. Berlin expects him to succeed where others have failed; deliver his election promise and kick start the French economy.
Mr Macron wants to create a common eurozone budget, parliament and finance minister.
He denied being in favour of making all countries that use the euro liable for other individual countries' existing debt.

Kenneth Williams, 38, killed two people after escaping from a maximum-security prison where he was serving life for murdering a cheerleader.
His lawyers said he was intellectually disabled, but the US Supreme Court rejected his last appeal.
The four executions were carried out before the state's supply of a drug used in lethal injections could expire.
Williams was pronounced dead at 23:05 (04:05 GMT Friday), after briefly coughing and convulsing, witnesses said.
Convicted murderer Ledell Lee was first to be put to death last Thursday.
The next two, Jack Jones and Marcel Williams, were executed on Monday.
Four other death row inmates won reprieves.
State prosecutors have vowed to appeal and put them to death as well.
Williams was sentenced to life in prison for the 1998 murder of 19-year-old cheerleader Dominique Hurd. A jury had spared him the death penalty.
After a month in the penitentiary, he escaped on 3 October 1999 by hiding in a barrel used to carry kitchen refuse.
Not far from the prison, he encountered Cecil Boren, 57, on his farm.
He killed Mr Boren, shooting him multiple times, and stole his pick-up truck.
Williams drove north to Missouri, where he led police on a chase that caused the death of 24-year-old delivery driver Michael Greenwood.
Since being jailed, Williams has become an ordained Christian minister, and written his autobiography as well as a book warning against gang life.
Mr Greenwood's daughter sent a letter on Thursday to Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, appealing for clemency.
"His execution will not bring my father back or return to us what has been taken, but it will cause additional suffering," Kayla Greenwood wrote.
She said her family had bought plane tickets for Williams' daughter and granddaughter to visit him one last time, even picking them up at the airport and driving them to the prison.
But the state's Republican governor said the inmate did not deserve mercy.
"Kenneth Williams murdered multiple people, and actions have consequences," said Mr Hutchinson in a statement.
Mr Boren's widow, who was to watch the execution, said earlier she was looking forward to seeing justice served.
"We've been waiting a long, long time for this," Genie Boren told local news station Fox 16.
"People have to be punished for things they've done."
The accelerated execution timetable was scheduled because the state's stock of a sedative, midazolam, used in lethal injections is due to expire at the end of this month.
Arriva Trains Wales admitted some trains had been too full as rugby fans headed to the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
The Blues took on the Ospreys and the Dragons played the Scarlets during the clashes.
Fans had been tweeting Arriva to complain about trains being full.
Arriva tweeted back to say its trains were very busy and apologised for "any discomfort".
A spokesman said he understood there had been a backlog of passengers waiting at some stations, that was cleared.
The pictures were part of a project called Postcards from Home, run by Kotryna Ula Kiliulyte, which features nine Glasgow-based artists' photographs of their homeland.
Kiliulyte came up with the idea while studying for a master's degree at the Glasgow School of Art.
Her own work explores themes such as home, belonging, migration and identity, and so it wasn't a huge step to begin work as a curator of images taken by fellow artists on a trip home.
"All I asked for was photographs that are related to the artists' home countries, be it holiday snapshots, family archive, art work, really anything," says Kiliulyte.
"The freedom was important for the overall diversity.
"The next step was for me to make a selection that works together, which meant including five pictures from one artist, because it's a small series, and maybe only one from another artist, as it stands alone really strong."
Kiliulyte found the process of curating worthwhile and plans to do more.
In fact, she has pictures from other artists that will appear in future editions.
"It was really great to look at work much more objectively than I look at my own," she says.
"It was such a nice break from agonising over a final edit for an exhibition or a book of my own.
"Group-project logistics was also something new.
"It's absolutely different from the solitary work in the studio or out in the field that I am used to.
"Curating allowed me to see or create links where they might not have been in the first place.
"And this fluidity is definitely something I want to bring into my own work.
"Glasgow is thriving with self-published [fan]zines, magazines and books, and I wanted to join the party with something slightly different."
Kiliulyte hopes the postcards will appeal to a wider market, not just those who would normally purchase art magazines.
"I really hope people are using them as intended," she says, "a few handwritten sentences, a stamp and a letterbox."
Here's a selection of the pictures from the first series.

The man, who had stab wounds on his arms and face, fled into the reception area. Picton Terrace in Mount Pleasant has also been sealed off.
Two men, aged 39 and 28, have been arrested.
The man went into the police station just after 15:00 BST on Monday and has been taken to hospital - his injuries are not thought be life-threatening.
A South Wales Police spokesman said: "Police in Swansea are currently dealing with an ongoing incident in the city centre.
"Police officers are in attendance at several locations in connection with the incident and an investigation is continuing."
Sandra Bruce, 61, has also been accused of assaulting Norman Bruce between 1991 and 2014 and on one occasion attempting to strangle him.
Mrs Bruce denied all the charges against her.
Andrew Bruce, Mr Bruce's son from his previous marriage and the trial's first witness, said he believed Mrs Bruce had been a bad influence on his father.
The 37-year-old police officer with the Civic Nuclear Constabulary said his father left his wife, Andrew Bruce's mother, in 1990 when he was about 12.
The court heard that Norman Bruce had lived in Kilmarnock in Ayrshire before later moving to Skye in 1991 or 1992 and that his teenage son and his younger sister only visited there a couple of times.
Andrew Bruce said the accused, who was Sandra Anderson at that time, attacked him in his bed the second time the children had visited.
Prosecutor Andrew Brown QC asked the witness what his "feelings" at that time were towards the accused.
Andrew Bruce said: "I was upset because this was who my dad had left my mum for. I regarded her with suspicion."
The court heard that when he was a teenager Andrew Bruce wrote a letter to his father in which he claimed he felt the accused was not a "good influence".
Andrew Bruce and his sister went to visit their father in the early to mid 1990s.
It was during this stay that Mrs Bruce appeared "angry" about what was in the letter.
Andrew Bruce told the court: "I felt quite threatened. I did not want to be there. I appealed to my dad that I wanted to go home."
Her Bruce claimed he tried to phone his own mother before eventually going to bed despite feeling "anxious".
He said the door "burst open" and Mrs Bruce "jumped" on him before putting her hands around his neck.
The witness went on: "I just remember her shouting. I was shocked at how sudden the attack was."
The trial heard Mrs Bruce was soon pulled away, but that she still appeared "angry".
Andrew Bruce said that was the last time he visited his father on Skye.
He told the court the last occasion he saw him was the summer of 2013 when he came down to visit his family.
The witness also said that when he learned of the death in February last year, police initially told him it was "unexplained".
Brian McConnachie QC, defending, later put it to Andrew Bruce that he had been "pre-disposed" not to like the accused.
Mr McConnachie added: "She had taken your dad away?"
Andrew Bruce replied: "Yes."
The trial before Judge Lord Armstrong continues.
Taken by British photographer Levon Biss, the show at Oxford's Museum of Natural History features 24 images, some of which are three metres wide.
The individual shots were merged to form a detailed, large-format picture.
Mr Biss said his passion to produce the works stemmed from his son's fascination with insects in the garden.
"My son once found a ground beetle in the garden and we decided to take a look at it under his microscope", he said.
"I was stunned at how beautiful it was up close so decided to photograph it for him. From then on I have only been interested in photographing insects."
To create the images, the insect is photographed in approximately 30 different sections.
"Each section is lit differently with strobe lights to bring out the micro-sculptural beauty of that particular section of the body," said Mr Biss.
"For example, I will light and shoot just one antenna, then I will move on to the eye until I have covered the whole surface area of the insect."
The Microsculpture exhibition will be available to view until October.
Thirty-nine fans died when people were crushed against a wall that then collapsed at the ground in Brussels before the 1985 European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus.
The disaster unfolded after a surge by Liverpool fans drove supporters of the Italian club towards the wall.
Memorial events have taken place at Liverpool's Anfield stadium as well as at the scene of the tragedy in Belgium.
Representatives from Liverpool, including club ambassador Ian Rush - who also played for Juventus - also paid their respects during a special Mass at Chiesa della Gran Madre di Dio church in Turin.
In Brussels the ceremony at the now-renamed King Baudouin Stadium included the laying of wreaths and families of those who died releasing balloons.
Phil Neal, who captained the Reds on the night of the disaster, laid a wreath at the Heysel Memorial in Anfield's Centenary Stand.
The stand will remain open for the rest of the day to allow people to remember those affected by the tragedy.
A ceremony at the site of the disaster in Brussels, now known as the King Baudouin Stadium, included the laying of wreaths. Relatives of those who died released balloons to remember their loved ones.
After a five-month trial which followed the disaster, 14 Liverpool fans were found guilty of manslaughter and jailed for three years.
An investigation in Belgium recommended that some of the blame be laid on the police and the football authorities.
What happened at Heysel also led to English clubs being barred from European competition for five years, with Liverpool serving an extra year.
A report from the Press Association says hospitals in England collected more than £120m last year - up by 5%.
Many trusts defended the charges, saying the money was put back into patient care or maintaining car parks.
But 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.
Of the 120 trusts asked by PA, 89 responded to the Freedom of Information request on the charges.
The responses showed £120,662,650 had been collected in car park fees over 2015/16, up from £114,873,867 the year before.
Only 27 trusts responded to a question about parking fines, but they showed over £2m had been collected in a four year period, with over £635,000 collected this year alone.
The figure which each trust accrued varied, partly as a consequence of their size. But more than half were making over £1m in car park fees in a year.
The investigation also found that almost half of all NHS trusts charged disabled people for parking in some or all of their disabled spaces.
Hospital car parking fees were abolished in Scotland and Wales in 2008, although a small number of hospitals still charge as they are signed up to private contracts to manage their parking facilities.
However, fees are allowed to be charged in Northern Ireland.
Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said the investigation showed the "shocking reality" faced by patients, saying hospitals were "taking money from the sick and vulnerable to top up NHS coffers".
She added: "This is not what car parking charges should be used for. The NHS is clearly underfunded, but the onus on meeting the funding crisis should most certainly not be shouldered by the sick, injured and vulnerable."
Ms Murphy said it was important that drivers parked sensibly, but said fines were a burden on the sick.
"We take a very clear line that car parking fees need to be scrapped or strictly capped," she said.
And deputy mayor of Leicester Rory Palmer told the BBC charges created two levels of "profound unfairness".
"First, people find themselves paying different amounts, at different hospitals, in different parts of the country," he said. "That incoherency is unfair and, in effect, creates a postcode lottery.
"But the real question is whether its actually fair to charge people who might be very ill, having to make lots of visits to hospital for treatment of to charge people visiting their sick relatives?
"I'm not sure that's in the true spirit of the National Health Service, which is about providing a service free at point of access."
The Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust made the most out of parking, with £4,841,108 collected across the year.
The majority - £3,465,357 - came from patients and visitors, whilst staff paid £1,375,751. Almost £40,000 was also collected by the trust in car park fines.
The London North West Healthcare NHS Trust made £968,170 in car park charges. A further £1,262,194 went to the private firm Apcoa under a private finance initiative (PFI) contract to manage the multi-storey car park at Northwick Park hospital.
The trust made £28,449 from car parking fines and the private firm kept a further £25,990 in fines in 2015/16. Over four years, Apcoa has kept £167,357 in fines under the terms of the PFI contract.
But some of the larger organisations, including Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Royal Surrey, did not supply 2015/16 figures.
In 2014/15 the trusts made £3,728,000 and £1,421,172 respectively, meaning the total figure for all trusts across England could be much higher.
Andrew Haldenby of the think tank Reform said no-one went into the NHS to set up a car park but charges stopped commuters and shoppers filling the spaces.
The parking charges income, he said, amounted to "a lot of money", adding: "If NHS hospitals had to suddenly lose that money, that genuinely would be a backward step for the NHS."
A spokeswoman for the Department of Health said it expected hospitals to follow its guidelines and put concessions in place for those who need the most help - including disabled people, carers and staff who work shifts.
"Patients and families shouldn't have to deal with the added stress of unfair parking charges," she added.
But Labour's shadow community health minister Julie Cooper said the government needed to take action.
"Raising car parking charges has a knock-on effect on patients, carers and family members who have no choice but to pay," she said.
"The current situation is wholly unfair and will only cause more stress for patients, families and carers.
"The government urgently needs to address this situation and take steps to cap the amount hospitals can charge for car parking fees."
As it stands, Donald Trump is all but certain to become the Republican party's official candidate, while Hillary Clinton has a substantial lead over her Democratic Party rival Bernie Sanders.

In 2009 the world's largest toy maker, US firm Mattel, set its sights firmly on the Chinese market, opening a flagship store in Shanghai.
It was using a toy that in her 50 years had conquered all before her.
Created in 1959, Barbie is today sold in 150 countries and has won the hearts and minds of little girls as far afield as Mumbai and Buenos Aires.
She has thrived almost everywhere, despite regular criticism from feminist groups who have decried her influence on young girls' body image and ambitions. Even in markets where she is triumphant Barbie continues to court controversy.
But it is in China, arguably the most important consumer market in the world, where the all-conquering doll has stumbled on her kitten heels.
The Shanghai Barbie store closed in 2011, just two years after its grand opening.
Now, as Barbie attempts to crack China once again, has Mattel learnt from its earlier failure?
The 2009 opening of the Shanghai store was not done by half measures.
It was not so much a shop as a lifestyle concept.
A grand spiral staircase surrounded by more than 800 different Barbies climbed the building.
And it was not just aimed at children.
Mattel was marketing the Barbie lifestyle to women in their 20s.
Clothing lines for women as well as young girls were part of the key products.
Real life brides-to-be were invited to coo over a Vera Wang Barbie wedding dress.
"It was confusing," says Benjamin Cavender of China Market Research Group.
"No-one knew what the brand stood for and so instead of going for cute they went towards sexy."
As well as clothes and design-your-own dolls, shoppers could eat in the Barbie restaurant, relax in the Barbie Spa and drink in the Barbie cocktail lounge.
But the problem was not enough people knew who Barbie was.
"It wasn't like in other countries where generations of women had grown up with Barbie," Mr Cavendar says.
"They created this massive experience but not enough people came to find out about it as the concept of Barbie wasn't a pre-existing draw in China."
The massive store was located on Huaihai Road, one of the most prestigious shopping streets in Shanghai.
But on the ground floor it was not clear to anyone passing exactly what was inside - you had to enter the store and climb an escalator to feel the impact of the design.
Breaking into a new market is never easy but many have achieved massive success far from home.
The BBC's global business team meet those who have managed to break into the fast growing global markets and find out what secrets they have learnt about how to succeed in them.
How to succeed in...
Plus a pink light shone outside. In China, a pink light district is associated with a much more adult style of trade than selling toys and clothes.
And despite the location being sought after, it wasn't easily accessible for shoppers.
"There was nowhere to park your car and it was not near a subway station," says Mr Cavender.
"If you can't get to it and you don't already know about Barbie, you're just not going to go."
"Joy and learning are like oil and water in China," a Mattel executive recently told the Wall Street Journal.
His point was that the first time round Barbie may have been too frivolous for the Chinese market.
The toy market in China, however, is big - and growing.
Between 2009 and 2013, it nearly doubled in size to be worth about £5.5bn (53.8bn yuan; $8.7bn), according to Euromonitor.
Video games are far and away the biggest category in the market.
But Mattel has done well - as a company it is the fifth biggest toy maker in China with 1.4% of the overall market.
Its most successful offering is the more learning-oriented Fisher Price brand, the 14th biggest toy brand in China, according to Euromonitor. And Barbie could be going the same way.
In 2013 Mattel brought Barbie back to the Chinese market. Only this time instead of clothes by Oscar De La Renta she had a violin and you could buy Barbie for the much more affordable price of $13 (£8.20).
This year there was another launch - a "specialty" Barbie doll in the likeness of Chinese actress Fan Bingbing.
Heralding the launch of the doll Mattel declared: "[Fan Bingbing's] collaboration with Barbie will give purpose and meaning to play and help ignite the spark inside girls across China to 'Shine Your Way'."
So it's clear that Barbie has learnt that to succeed in China today you have to have a sense of purpose, but then she didn't get the keys to the super-deluxe dreamhouse and the perfect boyfriend Ken by being just a pretty face.
Sorrell Leczkowski, from Adel in Leeds, was one of 22 people killed in the bombing on 22 May. Her grandmother and mother were also injured.
A private ceremony took place at the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Otley Old Road, Leeds on Monday.
Her grandfather, Michael Healey, said she was a "talented" girl who dreamed of becoming an architect.
More stories from across Yorkshire
In a statement Sorrell's family said: "Sorrell was only 14, but she was our rock, she kept us all grounded.
"She was such a clever, talented, creative girl, there was nothing she couldn't do."
"She was going to be an architect and wanted to go to Columbia University in New York to study so that she could build hotels with slides coming out of the rooms and so that she could build her mum a house."
Sorrell, a Year Nine pupil at Allerton High School, her mother and grandmother were not at the Ariana Grande concert but had gone to collect her sister who was not injured.
Attacker 22-year-old Salman Abedi detonated a home-made bomb in the arena's foyer as crowds were leaving a performance by the US singer just after 22:30 BST on 22 May.
Twenty-two arrests were made shortly after the attack - all those arrested were released without charge.
About £28,000 has been raised in two online fundraising campaigns set up for Sorrell's mother and grandmother.
The report claimed more than 1,000 Russians benefitted from a state-sponsored doping programme.
It heightened calls for the country to be banned from hosting major events.
But Wada's legal team has written to sports' international federations to inform them of "certain discrepancies".
The independent study, by lawyer Richard McLaren, said the doping was across 30 sports from 2011 to 2015.
When the report was unveiled in December, investigators also published a searchable database of their evidence.
In the letter, sent last month and obtained by BBC Sport, Wada's lawyers said: "It has come to our attention that there are, on occasion, certain discrepancies within the evidentiary summaries of athletes that potentially benefited from sample manipulation and the evidence available on the evidence disclosure package website made available by Professor McLaren."
It continued: "Due to a technical malfunction, Wada has been made aware that certain athlete code references have been misattributed by the team - e.g. we have seen situations where an athlete code reference was attributed to a certain athlete in sport X while it should have been attributed to another athlete in sport Y."
Media playback is not supported on this device
In December, McLaren described the evidence in his 144-page report as "immutable and conclusive", adding to pressure on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban the country from major competitions. Some 1,666 pieces of proof, including emails, documents and forensic analysis of doping samples, were published.
The findings corroborated much of an initial report last year which investigated claims of elaborate sample manipulation made by Grigory Rodchenkov, a former director of Russia's national anti-doping laboratory in Moscow.
McLaren did not identify athletes who have yet to be punished - referring instead to unique sets of numbers - but made the information available to the IOC and sports federations so they pursue individual cases, and decide on sanctions.
Any issues with the evidence could lead to concerns that some legal cases may be challenged by Russian athletes or authorities. Last month, 22 Russian biathletes, who had been suspected of doping following the publication of the second McLaren report, were cleared of any suspicion by the International Biathlon Union.
However, in a statement, Wada told the BBC: "The purpose of the recent correspondence was to provide clarification regarding minor logistical discrepancies that were picked up and brought to our attention. These discrepancies - which related to typos regarding names and sample numbers and a technical malfunction with the evidence disclosure package website - were swiftly resolved. As of today, Wada is unaware of any outstanding issues.
"Wada's legal team continues to work with the international federations, assisting them with analysing and interpreting the report and extensive evidence available so that doping cases can be managed in a harmonized manner.
"Wada retains full confidence in the evidence-based findings brought forward by Professor McLaren's investigation."
Nineteen arrests were made ahead of Israel's World Cup qualifier and the group is also suspected of planning attacks inside Kosovo itself.
Explosive devices and weapons were found along with "extremist" literature, police say.
The match was moved from one Albanian city to another as a result.
Police say the group was coordinated by two Albanian members of IS in Syria.
One of those arrested was later released.
Israel had been set to play in Shkoder, close to the Montenegro border, on Saturday but security concerns led to the match being moved to Elbasan, nearer to the capital, Tirana.
In a statement, police said they believed the suspects had "clear targets".
Kosovo, which has an ethnic Albanian majority, broke away from Serbia in 1999 and eventually declared independence, in a move not recognised by the UN.

Alex McFarlane, 50, of Wood Green, Basildon, Essex, admitted seven offences, including one related to driving at 109mph in a 50mph area, Essex Police said.
A court heard he had had a nervous breakdown resulting in debts which he could not repay if unable to drive.
The law states drivers with more than 12 points on a licence within a three-year period can face disqualification.
Construction manager McFarlane initially denied seven counts of failing to give information in relation to driving offences when questioned by police.
He later changed his plea to guilty, and he was given six points for each of the counts.
His six speeding offences also included driving at 32mph in a 20mph zone, Essex Police said. The seventh offence involved going through a red light.
The offences took place between June and August 2014.
Southend magistrates agreed not to ban McFarlane from driving after he claimed mitigating circumstances including "exceptional hardship" due to loss of income.
Magistrates heard he had had a nervous breakdown since the incidents, during which time he had built up considerable debts.
He told the court he would lose both his home and his job, and be unable to pay his debts if he lost his licence.
McFarlane was given 42 points on his licence and fined £150 for each offence.
He was warned if caught speeding again he would automatically be disqualified from driving, Essex Police said.
Factory output rose 5.9% in April from a year ago - below expectations - while fixed asset investment and retail sales also fell below forecasts.
The Shanghai Composite fell 0.6% to 4,375.76, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index closed down 0.6% at 27,249.28.
Concerns over new share listings also dented investor confidence.
Next week, a spate of initial public offerings (IPOs) could lock up some 3tn yuan ($483bn; £308bn) worth of subscription capital, according to analysts.
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 ended up 0.7% at 19,764.72.
Data showed Japan's current account surplus hit a seven-year high in March, rising to 2.795tn yen ($23.3bn; £14.9bn).
Australian shares headed higher after the government delivered its budget on Tuesday, with promises to help small businesses among the measures to try to boost the economy.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index finished up 0.7% at 5,715.1 in Sydney.
South Korea's Kospi index closed up 0.8% to 2,114.16 after data showed the country's unemployment rate declined in April, with more jobs created in the manufacturing and service sectors.
The jobless rate stood at 3.9%, down from 4% in March and 4.6% in February, according to Statistics Korea.
Like all good series, there are episodes which allow the scriptwriters to set up the story for a more dramatic encounter later on.
That will be the case with Philip Hammond - ironically nicknamed "Box Office Phil" - as he writes his Spring Budget, experts say. They predict this Budget will be relatively low key, particularly because there will be another one in the autumn.
And - to stretch the metaphor even further - we have been told a lot about the plot already. A string of tax and benefit changes that will come into effect this April have been announced in previous Budgets and Autumn Statements.
So, here is the story so far.
This will be the last ever Spring Budget, with the main event moving to the autumn from then on.
The leading man in the Treasury has changed. Philip Hammond is delivering his first Budget as chancellor, following eight delivered by his predecessor George Osborne.
There's plenty of speculation that Wednesday's Budget could be pretty low key. Don't be fooled, though. Your finances are set to change anyway.
Some of the policies that affect UK residents' personal finances were announced in previous speeches by Mr Osborne, but will only take effect this April. Others were outlined by Mr Hammond in November's Autumn Statement and will also come into force in the spring.
A number will lead to a notable change in the finances of those of working age - particularly a shift in the income tax threshold and the benefit freeze - while others target particular groups of people such as landlords.
The amount people can earn before they are subject to income tax, known as the personal allowance, is currently set at £11,000 and it has already been announced that it will go up to £11,500 in April.
The Conservatives have promised to raise this to £12,500 by 2020-21 and increase with inflation after that.
The threshold for the higher 40% income tax rate will rise from £43,000 to £45,000 in April. However, in Scotland the higher rate will be paid on income above £43,510 a year - owing to the devolved tax powers the Scottish government now holds.
Other changes that had been announced by George Osborne, but which take effect in April, include:
Pay rates for millions of workers have already been cemented.
The National Living Wage will rise from £7.20 to £7.50 in April, for those aged 25 and over. Public sector pay has already been set at a 1% annual rise each year until 2019-20.
Salary sacrifice allow some employees to give up some of their salary in exchange for goods and services. Some items bought under the scheme such as computers, gym membership, and health screening will be subject to tax from April - in effect, salary sacrifice will be cancelled on these items.
That was announced in Mr Hammond's Autumn Statement, as was mixed news for drivers.
Fuel duty will be frozen for a seventh year, but the cost of vehicle insurance may rise owing to an increase in the Insurance Premium Tax from 10% to 12% in June.
New Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) bands are to be introduced for cars registered from April - zero, standard and premium.
In May, probate fees will change, costing significantly more for large estates.
Finally, we may hear from the chancellor on a start date and precise interest rate for the new government-backed savings bond.
In November, the chancellor said that the new savings product offering a "market-leading" rate of about 2.2% would go on sale through National Savings and Investments in the spring.
The bond will be open to those aged 16 and over, subject to a minimum investment limit of £100 and a maximum investment limit of £3,000. Savers must put in their money for three years.

The defending champion, 22, won the semi-final in 25.95 seconds, becoming the first person to break 26 seconds and eclipsing his 26.10 in the heats.
"I honestly can't believe it. I can't even think. I just went out there and did what I do," he told BBC Sport.
Peaty retained his 100m breaststroke title in Budapest, Hungary on Monday.
He added: "The hard work has gone on in the gym. I am looking for areas of where I can improve and hopefully get down to mid-25."
After winning 100m gold, Olympic champion Peaty predicted "something special" on Tuesday.
He returned to the pool to break the 50m world record of 26.42 he set at the 2015 World Championships in Russia.
A dominant Peaty went almost half a second quicker in the semi-final, finishing 0.73secs clear of Felipe Lima of Brazil (26.68). South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh - 50m breaststroke world champion in 2013 - was third in 26.74.
"I thought I was going to go slower in the semi-final because I was a little bit less energetic," Peaty said.
"I was on such a massive high from this morning and it was so hard to ignore the fact that I did a world record and try to get myself emotionally ready."
If Peaty wins Wednesday's final - scheduled for 17:17 BST - he will replicate his achievements at the World Championships two years ago when he took the 50m and 100m titles.
OIympic bronze medallist Steve Parry
He can't believe it and I can't believe it. In my life I have never seen swimming like that.
This kid is absolutely unbelievable. Does he know any boundaries whatsoever? I don't think he does.
He's almost taken a second off everyone else over a 50m dash. It's not about gold medals for him any more - it's about how much he can move the sport on.
Double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington
He shocked himself. It is the first time in a long time that I have seen him genuinely shocked.
His start was better than this morning but he still has room to improve that, which is insane.

James Guy failed to defend his men's 200m freestyle title as China's Sun Yang won gold.
Guy finished fifth while compatriot Duncan Scott was fourth, 0.04secs behind Russia's Aleksandr Krasnykh in third. Townley Haas of the United States won silver.
Kathleen Dawson was eighth in the women's 100m backstroke final in 59.90. Canada's Kylie Masse took gold in a world record 58.10.
Sarah Vasey also finished eighth in the 100m breaststroke as Olympic champion Lilly King of the United States won in one minutes 4.13 seconds - a new world record.

The 22-year-old has played 12 times for Leeds this season and has made a further 14 appearances for Featherstone, with whom Leeds have a dual-registration agreement.
"The team are improving season after season and I'm keen to be a part of the journey," he told the club website.
"Leeds is a great club. I feel the time is right to move onto my next chapter."
On Thursday, 7.3% of Welsh local authority seats will be uncontested, with 92 councillors returned without any votes being cast.
One county councillor in Powys has gone unchallenged for his seat for 37 years.
Prof Roger Scully, of Cardiff University's Wales Governance Centre, said it made a "mockery of democracy".
Yscir, in Powys, is the only ward in Wales with no one standing for election as its councillor of 27 years is retiring.
When there is no challenger, no votes are cast and the incumbent councillor is returned to their position.
Half of Wales' 22 local authorities have at least one such ward.
Gwynedd has the largest number of uncontested seats in Wales, with 21, while Powys comes second-highest with 16.
Michael Williams has been a councillor in Powys for 37 years and has not faced an opponent since he was elected.
Now aged 74, the independent councillor for Machynlleth will be re-elected again, uncontested, on 4 May.
Mr Williams, who has also been a Machynlleth town councillor for 43 years, said he had not faced any challengers as he was doing a good job.
"I have always looked at my being a councillor as a partnership with the people of Machynlleth," he said, and added he has no plans to step down any time soon.
But the lack of choice for the electorate in such seats has led to concerns.
Prof Scully, who is an expert in politics, said: "Democracy depends on people having a choice, having no candidates means there is no choice.
"We do have quite a large number of uncontested seats: it's a disaster in terms of democracy, that people don't have a choice.
"It makes a mockery of democracy, it is disastrous for everyone that we have this sort of situation."
Prof Scully said the proportion of uncontested seats in Wales had only slightly improved since 2012, despite not a single seat going uncontested in Scotland at the nation's last local elections.

An amendment to the Wales Bill, currently going through the UK Parliament, would devolve powers over parental discipline to the Welsh Government.
It is due to be approved in the House of Lords on Tuesday.
A Wales Office spokesman said the amendment clarifies the fact that power will rest in Cardiff to change the law.
The move would make it possible for ministers in Cardiff Bay to strip away longstanding legal defences for parents who use corporal punishment to discipline children.
Labour's manifesto ahead of last year's assembly election promised to "seek cross-party support for legislation to end the defence of reasonable punishment".
The issue was also part of an agreement between Labour and Plaid Cymru to install Carwyn Jones as First Minister last May - and the two parties made commitments over a possible smacking ban.
The Children's Secretary Carl Sargeant said in September he hoped "to take forward, on a cross-party basis, legislation that will remove the defence of reasonable punishment" for smacking a child.
In March 2015, AMs voted against banning smacking of children by removing the defence of "reasonable punishment" from the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Bill.
Leighton Andrews, the then Public Services Minister, said the Welsh Government felt the bill was not the right place to address the issue.
Calls to ban smacking of children in Wales were also backed by Archbishop of Wales Dr Barry Morgan and he Children's Commissioner for Wales, Prof Sally Holland.
A Wales Office spokesman said of the latest move: "The Wales bill that was published last year gives the Welsh assembly the powers to enforce its own legislation.
"The amendment tabled for debate next week simply clarifies the power when it comes to parental discipline.
"It is up to the Welsh Assembly whether it chooses to change the law."
The pair fought out a race-long battle, with the Yorkshireman crossing the line with less than two-tenths of a second to spare over the reigning champion.
Rea, 29, had won the opening two races in Phillip Island and took the flag in Saturday's race one in Thailand.
The Northern Irishman leads the series on 95 points, with Sykes second on 66.
Honda rider Michael Van Der Mark lies third on 65 points, with Ducati-mounted Welshman Chaz Davies fourth on 55, ahead of the next round at Aragon on 1-3 April.
Sunday's race turned into a titanic scrap at the front, with Rea getting in front on the final lap, but an error allowed Sykes to move back past with five corners left.
The former world champion was able to defend his lead until the chequered flag, with Davies completing the podium and Van Der Mark fourth.
Rea won the first 20-lap race of the weekend at the Buriram circuit, coming home two-tenths of a second ahead of Sykes, with Van Der Mark third
World number one Van Gerwen clinched the £200,000 first prize with an 11-3 victory in the final.
The Dutchman, 27, had eased past Adrian Lewis 10-4 to reach the final, while Taylor defeated defending champion Gary Anderson 10-7 in his last-four tie.
Van Gerwen's previous Premier League title came in 2013, when he also beat Englishman Taylor, 55, in the final.
A second success rarely looked in doubt once Van Gerwen had raced into a 6-2 lead in the best-of-21-legs contest.
Taylor, a six-times Premier League champion, struggled to find his best form in the final and, having taken a 2-1 lead, lost 10 of the next 11 legs.
Van Gerwen told Sky Sports: "This feels fantastic for me, I'm over the moon to win this title. It's unbelievable.
"I'm playing stronger in this tournament every year, I've been top of the table four years in a row and I'm really glad I can hold this trophy now for the second time."
Taylor, a 16-times world champion, added: "I'm very proud to get through to the final. He beat me up, he put me under pressure, he's doing phenomenal things.
"I honestly don't know how he does it. His scoring is good, but his finishing is phenomenal and that's where it hurts you."
Wales' main exam body, the WJEC, decided last year to stop offering the course in either English or Welsh due to a low uptake.
Regulating body Qualifications Wales invited exam boards from England to provide the course but did not insist it was available in Welsh.
The teacher behind the petition called it "linguistic discrimination".
Chris Evans, who established a psychology department at Ysgol Morgan Llwyd in Wrexham, wants the Welsh Government and Qualifications Wales to "change the policy".
Another exam board, Pearson, is offering psychology through the medium of English for students in Wales from September 2017 but would not provide it in Welsh, partly because it did not have "access to the expertise".
It means psychology is one of a number of GCSE subjects, including economics, available in English in Wales but not in Welsh next year.
A Qualifications Wales spokesperson said it was in discussion with two exam boards about putting Welsh-medium provision in place next year.
"As part of the reforms of GCSEs, GCSE Psychology was one of the subjects for which the potential number of candidates in Wales was too low for a qualification designed specifically for Wales to be viable," they said.
"A new A level Psychology for Wales was introduced in 2015 by WJEC and is available bilingually.
"As we have done for other low-take-up subjects, we have designated for funding in Wales three GCSE Psychology qualifications that have been designed for England. These are not currently offered through the medium of Welsh.
"We know there is a demand for GCSEs in this subject to be available in Welsh and we are still looking at how that could be achieved.
"We are in discussions with two exam boards, WJEC and Pearson, to see if there is a way of putting arrangements in place to secure Welsh-medium availability for next year."
The incident happened at about 05.15 local time on Monday.
The man, who was struck by a car, later died in hospital.
The driver of the car was not injured.
The suppliers, one making seats and the other gearbox parts, had stopped delivering to VW in a contract row.
However, following 20 hours of negotiations that lasted throughout the night, the two sides said they had reached an agreement.
The stoppages affected 27,700 staff.
The two suppliers at the centre of the row are CarTrim, which makes seats, and ES Automobilguss, which makes cast iron parts used in gearboxes.
They were demanding compensation from VW because they said they their incomes had been hit when VW cancelled a contract.
Car and parts production has already been halted at four plants and was due to be stopped at two others later this week. VW has 10 factories in Germany.
However, VW said both companies had agreed to start supplying it again and that the affected factories would gradually resume production.
On Monday, VW told the BBC the production stoppage would not affect cars that had already been ordered.
Production at Wolfsburg, which makes Golfs, and at Zwickau where Golfs and Passats are made, is due to begin again later this week.
Production also stopped at Braunschweig, which makes chassis parts and plastic parts, but should start again next Monday.
In what the company said was an unrelated issue, production was halted at Emden, which makes Passats, last week and will resume on Wednesday.
In some cases, employees were sent home. In others, they went on to short-time working on other jobs within the plants.
That term "nuclear capable" is important. Pyongyang must both miniaturise a nuclear warhead to fit on the head of a missile and be able to protect it against all the buffeting and forces as it re-enters the earth's atmosphere.
We do not know precisely where the North Koreans stand in this aspect of their programme. But it is possible that North Korea will achieve its goal during the Trump presidency.
This then throws a spotlight on the US ability to defend against such an attack. Huge quantities of money have been invested in ballistic missile defence. There is a global network of satellite sensors and relays able to spot and track a missile launch. Interceptor missiles are already in place.
But critics believe that the US system is far from reliable. The Trump administration is reviewing the whole programme. New generations of interceptor missiles are coming on stream. But in the foreseeable future, only a handful will be available to deal with the potential North Korean threat.
We are a long way from the "Star Wars" dream of President Ronald Reagan, who hoped for the construction of a missile-proof shield over the US and its allies. In those days ballistic missile defences were seen by many as destabilising.
That is why there was a Cold War treaty largely banning them. They would threaten the certainty of a retaliatory nuclear attack getting through, thus increasing the likelihood of a no-warning onslaught, in turn decreasing the effectiveness of nuclear deterrence.
Missile defence viewed as part of the strategic equation between two nuclear-armed superpowers is one thing. Some argued that even a less-than-effective defensive system would alter an opponent's calculations.
But very quickly the idea of a missile-proof screen - like a comic book Captain America's shield protecting the continental US - was seen as science fiction if not fantasy. It would be too expensive and the technology simply did not exist.
Scroll forward a few decades and the threat that missile defence is now ranged against is very different. It is not - despite Russian protests - aimed at weakening Russia's nuclear forces. It is designed to protect against a very specific threat - from Iran or North Korea's developing missile arsenals.
Against this kind of threat, the requirement is not simply to alter an adversary's strategic calculations, but to stop each and every missile getting through.
Technology has advanced dramatically with some of the most significant strides being made by Israel. Its interceptor systems and their associated radars - funded in large part by the US - have shown themselves spectacularly successful, even though against a full-scale onslaught even Israel's system would be sorely tested.
In contrast the US's own defensive system, according to many critics, is not yet up to the job. Testing has provided mixed results. And there are frequent criticisms that even the most elaborate tests are not conducted in ways which fully resemble real-world conditions.
Even US commanders accept that their defences are not fully missile-proof and that they might quickly be overwhelmed if a country possessed a sizeable arsenal of missiles.
Whatever President Trump decides to do about North Korea and the growing reach of its missiles, time is running out.
One option he may pursue is to step up the US's own defences, just as he has deployed interceptor missiles in South Korea to try to enhance its defences against missile attack.
The number of heroin users rose by 63% between 2002 and 2013, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported on Tuesday.
Use among white Americans was mostly responsible for the jump, the CDC said.
However, the report found increases among people of all income levels and most age groups.
"Heroin use is increasing rapidly across nearly all demographic groups, and with that increase, we are seeing a dramatic rise in deaths," CDC chief Tom Frieden said.
Local police departments across the country have been dealing with an uptick in heroin overdoses in recent years, and many police officers have begun carrying life-saving medication to prevent deaths.
The CDC reported that over 8,000 people died from a heroin-involved overdose in 2013, nearly twice the number of deaths seen just two years earlier.
Federal officials cited a number of factors causing the rise in heroin use.
As authorities have cracked down on prescription drug abuse in recent years, users who have become addicted to the pills have switched to heroin. The drug is often cheaper and more easily available.
The amount of heroin being brought into the US has also increased, driving down the cost of the street drug.
Guenter Lubitz held a news conference insisting his son was innocent, despite German prosecutors concluding in January that Andreas Lubitz intentionally flew the plane into the ground in a murder-suicide bid.
The Lubitz parents had already angered victims' families by taking out an advert paying tribute to their son on the first anniversary of the crash. Alongside their heartfelt message was a smiling photograph of Andreas - and no mention of the 149 victims.
So how do the parents of mass killers reconcile themselves to what their children have done?
When a mass killing occurs, media speculation often turns to the assailant's upbringing.
"There is a tendency to immediately blame the parents," says Andrew Solomon, professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University, who wrote a book about this subject.
"My finding was they are by and large good people who are as shocked by this as anyone else."
"It's a terrible trauma and a terrible loss for the parent, who not only loses their child - even if they've done terrible things - but also their image of their child," he says.
"They're unable to see their child in the light in which they previously had."
Prof Solomon points to the treatment of the mother of Adam Lanza. He murdered 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut in 2012, but also shot his mother Nancy dead before the attack.
Despite this, Nancy Lanza was not referenced in a memorial address by President Obama and was eradicated from the list of victims in an official report.
To some, a narrative prevailed that Ms Lanza, a gun enthusiast who allegedly accommodated his untreated behavioural disorders and mental illnesses, was complicit in the incident for not preventing it.
The decision galvanised an ongoing debate about the culpability of parents. One mother published a blog called: I am Adam Lanza's mother - about her ominous identification with the incident and personal struggle getting help for her mentally ill son.
Peter Lanza, Adam's father, told Prof Solomon in an interview that Adam was not open to therapy.
He believes his diagnosed autism could have disguised schizophrenia, but insisted: "Mental health professionals who saw him did not see anything that would have predicted his future behaviour.
"I get very defensive with my name. I do not like to even say it. I thought about changing it, but I feel like that would be distancing myself."
Jens Breivik, whose estranged son Anders Breivik murdered 77 people in Norway in 2011, admitted to the Guardian that: "In the first few weeks, I thought seriously of taking my own life."
Mr Breivik said he got rid of all evidence of his son and resigned himself that he could never return to his home country because of a perception that he shared the blame.
After the Bastille Day attack in Nice that killed 86 people, the perpetrator's father explained to the BBC that the family had sought psychological support for their son.
But for some parents, warning signs were largely absent and the events as unexpected to them as the communities they ravaged.
Sue Klebold, the mother of one of the Columbine attackers, has spoken candidly about living with her son's actions.
In 1999 two teenagers went on a shooting spree at Columbine High School in the US state of Colorado, killing 12 students and one teacher. It was a highly co-ordinated attack involving dozens of explosive devices.
In a Ted Talk, she explained: "It's taken me years to accept my son's legacy.
"The cruelty that defined the end of his life showed me he was a completely different person to the one I knew."
Both Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed themselves after the attack.
Prof Solomon says Ms Klebold told him that she and her husband continued to believe that Dylan had been "just roped into this against his will" until the tapes he made surfaced.
At the time, commentators blamed the teenagers' actions on a range of influences - from the so-called collapse of family values to rock star Marilyn Manson.
Dylan Klebold's parents, meanwhile, only discovered six months after Columbine that he had been feeling suicidal for two years.
"People asked - how could you not know? What kind of a mother are you?" Sue Klebold said, adding that she had asked herself the same questions.
She also said part of the healing process involved attempting to understand how his suicidal thinking had developed into a desire to commit mass murder.
Psychiatrists say that the rationale for murder-suicides, including those with multiple victims, remains largely "inexplicable".
Ms Klebold said she regreted that people suffering from severe mental health problems "too often only get our attention when they reach a behavioural crisis".
"We cannot know or control everything our loved ones think or feel," she said.
"We'll have to learn to forgive ourselves for not knowing or asking the right questions."
The US Treasury says Mahan Air ferried operatives from Iran's Quds Force and Hezbollah across the Middle East.
Under the sanctions, the airline's US assets will be frozen and US firms barred from doing business with it.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton meanwhile said the alleged plot was a "dangerous escalation" by Iran.
The sanctions were unveiled a day after the authorities announced they had foiled a conspiracy to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Adel Al-Jubeir, on US soil using explosives.
The US government accused members of the Iranian government - and the Quds Force, an elite unit of the Revolutionary Guard Corps - of involvement.
By James ReynoldsBBC Iran correspondent
The sanctions on Mahan Air are the most noticeable step the US has taken following its announcement of an Iranian plot to carry out a bomb attack in Washington DC.
Iran insists that the charges are part of an American propaganda campaign. To many observers, the details of the proposed attack by a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard remain fairly puzzling.
It is not immediately clear why the force would choose Manssor Arbabsiar, a man with a criminal record, as the principal agent of its first ever attack inside the US.
Nor is it clear why Iran would want to approach a Mexican drugs cartel to plant the bomb - when cartels deliberately avoid hitting targets inside the US.
It may be that the Revolutionary Guard is more reckless in the planning of its operations than previously thought.
Iran 'plot' raises questions
"It's clear that senior levels of Quds force were engaged in the plotting," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters.
On Tuesday, the US also imposed sanctions against five people it linked to the alleged assassination plot, including two men charged over the investigation.
The pair were named as Manssor Arbabsiar, a 56-year-old naturalised US citizen with dual Iranian and US passports, and Gholam Shakuri, who is based in Iran.
Mr Shakuri and three others named in Tuesday's sanctions were described as members of the Quds Force.
Mr Arbabsiar - accused of wiring $100,000 (£63,000) to a US bank account to finance the alleged $1.5m conspiracy - was charged in a New York City court on Tuesday.
US officials have said that the accused approached a US informant posing as a member of a Mexican drug cartel to carry out the assassination.
Announcing the latest sanctions on Wednesday, Treasury official David Cohen said in a statement: "Mahan Air's close co-ordination with the IRGC-QF [Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp-Quds Force] - secretly ferrying operatives, weapons and funds on its flights - reveals yet another facet of the IRGC's extensive infiltration of Iran's commercial sector to facilitate its support for terrorism."
Iranian official media reported on Wednesday that the foreign ministry had summoned the Swiss ambassador to Tehran, who represents US interests in the country.
The purpose of the meeting was to "strongly" protest against the US allegations, the state television website reported.
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted by Iran's Arabic-language Alalam channel as saying: "America has launched a mischievous scenario. But be certain, they will apologise [to Iran] in the future."
The Gulf Cooperation Council condemned the alleged plot as a "flagrant violation" of international laws and agreements.
Meanwhile, details have emerged of Mr Arbabsiar's life in the US, including his background as a secondhand-car salesman in Texas.
David Tomscha, who once owned a used car lot with him, told AP news agency: "I can't imagine him thinking up a plan like that. I mean, he didn't seem all that political. He was more of a businessman."
Mr Arbabsiar was charged with theft in 2001, according to court documents in Texas, although the charge was dropped. He was also arrested several times in the 1990s for traffic violations.
His wife, Martha Guerrero, who lives at a house in an Austin suburb, told a local TV station they were separated and she thought he was blameless of the charges.
"I cannot for the life of me think that he would be capable of doing that," she told KVUE. "I'm sure of that and I know that his innocence is going to come out."

Jack Clifford's try gave Quins a 15-14 lead at the break after Neil de Kock and Billy Vunipola crossed for Sarries either side of Rob Buchanan's score.
Owen Farrell kicked three penalties after the break but Ben Botica's boot got Quins back ahead after Sarries prop Rhys Gill was sent off.
Lock James Horwill scored late on to confirm victory for Quins.
The Australia international's late intervention not only sealed Harlequins' first win over their north London rivals since March 2012, but brought to an end to Saracens' 15-match winning streak, which stretched back to last season.
Sarries got the game's first try through De Kock after Horwill had been sent to the sin-bin for striking England second row George Kruis, who had to be stretchered off the field with concussion following lengthy treatment.
Director of rugby Mark McCall confirmed Kruis was knocked out in the incident, adding: "George is fine. There is nothing wrong other than the concussion...he'll do the normal checks."
Smart work from Danny Care allowed Buchanan to reply for Quins but trademark scrummaging from Saracens set up Vunipola for their second try.
After Clifford's late score gave the home side a slender advantage at the break, Farrell and Botica traded penalties in the early stages of the second half.
The turning point came on 65 minutes with Sarries leading 23-18, as Gill was initially shown yellow for a tip-tackle on George Lowe - only for referee Craig Maxwell-Keys to decide to show the prop red instead after consulting the television match official.
Botica put Quins back ahead with two more penalties before Horwill secured victory at the death.
Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea:
"A huge turning point was Rhys' sending off, but I don't think you could argue with that.
"I'm really thankful that there was nothing wrong with George Kruis but when you look at the actual play, James is coming in and he is going to clear a ruck.
"Kruis is going down and there is nothing malicious in it but we have to protect players so we will take the yellow.
"It was a great game of rugby between two teams who will hopefully be fighting it out towards the end of the year."
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall confirmed:
"I think it was a red card. There are no complaints. Rhys has just come on to the pitch, he's trying to make a good tackle and someone else is involved.
"It made it look worse than it is, but you always run the risk in those situations.
"In general we didn't deserve to win. Our discipline wasn't good enough. They won the scraps and were really up for it.
"All those 50-50 battles that we're pretty good at, we weren't so good at. It's disappointing to lose."

His first executive order, which sparked mass protests and confusion at airports, was halted by the courts in February.
Then just hours before a revised version was due to go into effect at midnight on 16 March, a judge in Hawaii suspended it nationwide.
How is the second order different - and what happens next?
The original order barred people from seven majority-Muslim countries - Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya - from entering the US for 90 days. It also halted refugee resettlement for 120 days and banned Syrian refugees indefinitely.
The revised order removed Iraq from the list, after it agreed to boost co-operation with the US and also the lifted the indefinite ban on Syrian refugees.
Previously, there was confusion about people from the seven countries who were also permanent legal US residents (green card holders), or who already had US visas or dual nationality. The new version makes it clear that visa and green card holders from the countries on the list - now six countries - will still be allowed entry, as will dual nationals travelling on a passport from a country not on the list.
Waivers can be granted on a case-by-case basis, if denying entry would "cause undue hardship", in cases such as:
The number of refugees for the year until October will be capped at 50,000, some 35,000 less than the previous 12 months.
The second executive order states that each of the six countries is either considered a state sponsor of terrorism by the US or "has been significantly compromised by terrorist organisations or contains active conflict zones". This "diminishes the foreign government's willingness or ability to share or validate important information about individuals seeking to travel to the United States," the order says.
Critics have noted that major attacks such as the 9/11 New York attacks, the Boston marathon bombing and the Orlando nightclub attack were carried out by people from countries not on the list, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Kyrgyzstan, or by US-born attackers.
Judges who first suspended - and then upheld the suspension - of the first order cited several concerns:
The second order allowed a 10-day lead-in time before it was due to come into effect, in an attempt to avoid the confusion and uncertainty caused by the immediate implementation of the first, where scores of people were detained at airports or in transit.
But nevertheless, a judge in Hawaii still suspended the revised order. He concluded that, were the ban to go ahead, there was a strong likelihood it would cause "irreparable injury" by violating First Amendment protections against religious discrimination.
His justification focused on comments made by Mr Trump and his advisers that suggested their intention was to ban people on the basis of their religion, even though the administration says this is not the case.
The Hawaii court also cited a "dearth of evidence indicating a national security purpose".
The justice department said the ruling was "flawed both in reasoning and in scope".
A judge in Maryland later also blocked the order, on the basis that the travel ban was likely to be considered a ban on Muslims and therefore unconstitutional.
Other legal challenges to the second order:
Oregon - said the order hurts residents, employers, universities, health care system and economy
Washington - it has "same illegal motivations as the original" and harms residents, although fewer than the first ban
Minnesota - questioned the legality of the move, suggesting the Trump administration cannot override the initial ban with a fresh executive order
New York - "a Muslim ban by another name", said the attorney general
Massachusetts - new ban "remains a discriminatory and unconstitutional attempt to make good on his campaign promise to implement a Muslim ban"
California - says order is an attack on people based on their religion or national origin
This is becoming a crucial question in the legal battle.
On 14 February, a US district judge in Virginia ruled the first order was unconstitutional because it had religious bias at its heart.
Ruling on the second version, the Hawaii court also dismissed the government's argument that the ban is not anti-Muslim because it targets all individuals from the six countries, regardless of religion, and the countries themselves represent only a small fraction of the world's Muslim population.
"The illogic of the government's contentions is palpable. The notion that one can demonstrate animus toward any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed," the court ruling said, pointing out that the countries' populations were between 90% and 99% Muslim.
The court also cites statements made by Mr Trump, such as a 2015 press release calling for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States".
But the Department of Justice says that a distinction should be made between things said as a candidate and as president.
In a bid to address religious discrimination issues, the second order removes a particular section that said refugees' claims should be prioritised "on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country of nationality".
Mr Trump previously said priority should be given to persecuted Christians.
The president said he would take the case "as far as it needs to go," including to the Supreme Court.
An appeal against the Hawaii decision would be expected to go next to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals - the same court where a panel of three judges decided in February not to block a ruling by a Seattle court to halt the original travel ban.
However, on 16 March, five of the 29 judges at that court wrote a letter saying they believed that decision was an "error", and the first executive order was "well within the powers of the presidency".
If the Ninth Circuit were to uphold the Hawaii court's ruling, the government could appeal to the Supreme Court.

His comments describing the situation as "Germany's problem" and insisting that Hungarians have "the right not to live together with populous Muslim communities" drew strong criticism from EU politicians.
But the Hungarian prime minister has long riled many of his European colleagues with divisive domestic and foreign policies, including close ties with Russia.
Despite forging the country's strongest government since the fall of communism, his democratic and economic credentials have been questioned.
After a surge in the number of refugees entering Hungary he is reaching out to anti-immigrant opinion across Europe.
As a young lawyer, Mr Orban attracted attention on 16 June 1989 by publicly demanding the withdrawal of Soviet forces and the holding of free elections.
According to the CV posted on the official prime ministerial website, he was already a founding member of the Federation of Young Democrats (Fidesz), which he would eventually make Hungary's party of government.
He was elected an MP in the 1990 vote that followed the country's transition to multi-party democracy.
Assuming the leadership of Fidesz in 1993, he moved the party to the right and in 1998 became prime minister at the head of a centre-right coalition.
That first Orban administration took Hungary into Nato and cut inflation while maintaining economic growth.
Hurt by corruption scandals and regarded by some as divisive, it fell after a single term and Mr Orban spent the next eight years in opposition.
Cracks emerge in Hungary's ruling party
Out of government, Mr Orban was regarded by political analysts as a populist, to the extent that in 2007 the UK's Economist awarded him its "politics of the gutter award", citing his "cynical populism and mystifyingly authoritarian socialist-style policies".
But bickering on the left played into the hands of Mr Orban, and in 2010 Fidesz and its Christian Democrat allies were returned to power with an overall majority.
Mr Orban said his landslide victory represented the desire of Hungarians to "close the chapter of post-communism".
Some view him as a pragmatist; he himself insists he is providing strong, stable political leadership, with policies that reduce bureaucracy and empower individuals as responsible members of society.
He soon embarked on the constitutional and financial reforms that have so antagonised his opponents.
His supporters say he has introduced long-needed structural changes, such as restricting early retirement in the police and military and making the welfare system more transparent.
But critics accuse his government of imposing a conservative agenda on everything, from the media to the economy and religion.
In December 2011 parliament approved a controversial new election law that halved the number of MPs and redrew constituency boundaries. Opponents said it tilted the system in favour of Mr Orban's Fidesz party.
A month later tens of thousands of people took part in protests in Budapest against the measure, branding the prime minister a dictator - or "Viktator".
Another taunt shouted by the crowd was "bovli", or "junk" in Hungarian, mocking the downgrading of the country's credit rating under his premiership.
A central bank law was also passed on 30 December 2011 in defiance of EU and IMF warnings that it would infringe on the bank's independence.
The law would become a key stumbling block in negotiations over the country's massive bailout.
The European Commission - the EU's executive arm - went on to take legal action against the government over reforms to the central bank, data protection and the judiciary.
And in 2013 Hungary's constitutional court struck down the controversial electoral law, saying it restricted voter rights.
More protests have followed, with tens of thousands taking to the streets over corruption allegations and Mr Orban's relationship with Russia.
In 2014, the government approved a €10bn (£8.3bn) deal with Russia over the financing of two new reactors at the Paks nuclear power plant.
Mr Orban went on to criticise EU sanctions imposed on Russia over the Ukraine crisis.
But last December he suffered a serious setback when Russia cancelled its plans for the South Stream gas pipeline - a project which he had backed in defiance of the EU.
His popularity has waned in recent months, with his Fidesz party losing two seats in by-elections this year.
The result saw the far-right party Jobbik win its first ever individual constituency seat in parliament. following moves to woo centrist voters.
With Jobbik set to present a major challenge in Hungary's 2018 parliamentary elections, Mr Orban is keen to appear both powerful and patriotic.
His policy on migration - including the construction of a 175km (109-mile) fence along the border with Serbia - is his latest show of strength. | Viktor Orban's tough approach to the migrant crisis has positioned him as one of Europe's most controversial leaders. | 16,390,574 | 1,107 | 29 | false |
However, Wilson thinks the broadside is unlikely to inspire the "miracle run" needed to save them from relegation.
Thompson apologised to supporters for "abysmal" performances.
"You'd think it would go the opposite way - the chairman saying they've got 13 games to save their professional careers, almost," said Wilson.
Thompson's statement said that United squad members have "13 matches to preserve the club's Premiership status and redeem their own professional reputations".
The Tannadice club are 13 points adrift at the foot of the table following Tuesday's 3-0 home defeat to Motherwell.
"I would be hurt by it [the statement]," said Wilson, who began his career at United and ended a second spell with them last year.
"I think you expect criticism and public criticism, probably from your manager.
"But it's slightly strange when it comes from the chairman. However, I'm sure the players are under no illusions of where they are at the minute and what they've done to deserve to be there.
"They've got to realise that at a time like this the chairman has every right to come out and criticise them."
With just three wins from 25 league games, Thompson talked of "miserable failure on the pitch".
"I wouldn't think that's the best way of inspiring a team to go on some sort of miracle run to get them up the table," Wilson told BBC Scotland.
"It's different now from when I was there. They were used to relegation battles when I was first there as a kid.
"When I went back the second time [in 2013] they were so successful and playing some great football. They'd won the Scottish Cup [in 2010] and we got back to the final [in 2014]; so it's a different support now and they expect success.
"That's why the fans are turning. They expect the success and the quality of players like Stuart Armstrong and Nadir Ciftci [both sold to Celtic last year] - and things coming through.
"At the minute they're not getting either results or those players coming through. So, they'll be really disappointed. Before long they'll probably start calling for someone's head."
Prior to Tuesday's loss, manager Mixu Paatelainen had put together a three-game unbeaten sequence.
"A couple of weeks ago I was thinking 'they'll go on this little run now' because teams have gone on a run and got away from United," added Wilson.
"I really thought they would go on a run. But after the other night's performance against Motherwell I think that was the last straw and I think they've consigned themselves to life in the Championship next year."
The Wye and Usk Foundation said projects to restore habitats on the river and combat pollution were behind the recovery.

Centuries later, and the market survives and thrives, open seven days a week with stalls selling everything from fruit and vegetables to wooden toys and ceramic bowls.
Street markets across the country have had to evolve as town and city centres face challenges from out-of-town shopping, the growth of supermarkets, the birth of online retail, and economic cycles.
For many nowadays, that means offering something a bit different with an artisan twist, rather than just the daily groceries.
"We have all different types across the country - night markets, speciality markets, vintage markets, food markets," says Ellie Gill, of the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA).
Amid a two-week celebration of markets, run by the association, she says they offer a touch of eccentricity to "cloned" town centres. They also maintain the tradition of face-to-face transactions, she says, unlike internet shopping.
Markets will always face a challenge on price from the powerful supermarkets. As people tightened their belts during the recession, markets felt the pinch.
There were an estimated 38,100 traditional market traders in the UK in 2009, down 14% on five years earlier, a study by NABMA found.
The association estimates that well over 1,000 regular, traditional markets are run across the country.
Their success - and investment from local councils - depends on their ability to come up with something original to sell.
"They offer access to fresh produce and fresh ideas," says Martin Blackwell, chief executive of the Association of Town and City Management.
"Increasingly we are seeing new traders use markets as a stepping stone to growing their business before taking on premises on our High Streets."
Some retailers have argued that markets draw attention away from stores, but others say they attract shoppers who then stay for the day.
Councils in Sheffield, Bolton, Blackburn and Leicester are among the local authorities that have put money into rejuvenating indoor markets to attract shoppers into their towns and cities.
While markets may try to attract the designers of the future, they have always found it tough to shake off the Del Boy image. Owing to the lack of uniform regulation, market stalls have often been the venue of choice for the sale of counterfeit or shoddy goods.
The Real Deal campaign is aimed at encouraging all market operators to sign up to a charter and use the same code of practice.
Meanwhile, shoppers have various rights to ensure they are not ripped off.
Under the Sale of Goods Act, retailers are obliged to offer a refund, repair or replacement of a product that was faulty when it was sold. The rules are the same for shoppers whether they buy from a market stall or from a High Street retailer.
Consumers have no automatic right to a refund if they simply decide they do not like the product and want to take it back.
Faulty goods must be returned promptly, but the problem for many people who have bought shoddy items from a market trader is returning to discover the trader has left the pitch, and has gone to trade elsewhere.
But Mark Oliver, of Cambridgeshire Trading Standards, says that they should not give up.
A well-run market will have contact details of traders, so disgruntled consumers should get in touch with the market organiser if the trader has gone.
Trading standards officers may also help, depending on the severity of the case, and would be alerted via Citizens Advice.
The majority of market traders - like more permanent retailers - rely on a good reputation to trade successfully. So a polite approach from a customer who buys something which turns out to be broken should usually result in a satisfactory resolution.
As for the markets themselves, their existence looks set to continue for centuries to come even if technology revolutionises the way we shop.
Shari and Danny Butcher are on holiday in the Spanish city and were among those who fled the scene of Wednesday's attack on Las Ramblas.
Thirteen people were killed and dozens more were injured in the attack.
Members of an Irish family are among those who were injured.
"This is mind-altering for me - I can't wait to get home," Mrs Butcher told BBC Radio Foyle.
Mrs Butcher, from Limavady, said she and her husband were having a drink when they heard a bang.
"Then people started to scream and run towards us, the police were running and blowing whistles," she said.
"When we heard another loud bang Danny stood up and looked across and saw a couple of people lying on the pavement.
"I got up and ran - everybody was panicking and screaming.
"Danny shouted after me: 'Don't panic.'"
She said she slipped and "had a bit of a panic attack".
"At this point we still didn't know what had happened - I just visualised the London attack.
"It was awful - we could have been killed.
"People from all over the world were there enjoying a holiday."
Sharon and Martin Kane, from west Belfast, were on their honeymoon in Barcelona when the attack happened.
Mr Kane said they were asked to get off the bus they were travelling on.
"Before we knew it everybody started rushing," he said.
"We saw a girl fall and smash her head off the ground and everybody tried to get on the bus panicking.
"Everybody was falling all over themselves, people crying and shouting."
The couple then took cover in a nearby hotel.
"It was just like back to the 1970s and 1980s in Belfast when I was a child, the same things happening - a bomb going off in the city centre," Mr Kane said.
Husband and wife Norman and Pederlita Putot, who are from the Philippines but are Irish citizens, were in the city with their Irish-born children, Nathaniel and Pearl.
Mr Putot and his son are among the injured and are still in hospital in Barcelona, while Mrs Putot and her daughter escaped unhurt.
The five-year-old boy has a broken femur and his father has knee injuries.
The so-called Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the atrocity, and Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said it was a "jihadist attack".
In a linked incident, five suspected terrorists were killed by police in the Spanish seaside resort of Cambrils.
Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney said it was a "miracle" that more Irish people were not hurt in the Barcelona attack.
He said Spain is the main holiday destination for Irish people and the connections between the countries "are really, really strong".
"Nearly two million Irish people this year will travel to Spain on their holidays," said Mr Coveney.
"You can safely say that probably over 300,000 Irish people are in Spain today.
"It's a miracle that more Irish people weren't involved, given that there are so many Irish people in Spain, Barcelona and Cambrils at this time of year."
The UK's Foreign Office has said a "small number" of Britons were hurt and it is investigating reports that a child with British nationality went missing during the attack.
It has also issued travel advice for those going to Spain.
Irish citizens are being advised to follow the advice of local authorities.
Anyone with concerns for the safety of people in Barcelona can contact the consular assistance team in the department on 01-4082000 or the Irish embassy in Madrid on +34 914364093.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland has issued safety advice for people at home and abroad in the event of a weapons attack.
Assistant Chief Constable Barbara Gray said the intention was to increase "public awareness and vigilance, and ensuring our residents know what action to take in the unlikely event of an attack".
Flights to the city are unaffected.
A book of condolence for the victims of the attacks has opened at Belfast City Hall.
Pte First Class Bradley Manning, 25, was convicted in July of 20 charges against him, including espionage.
In a statement read by his lawyer after the sentencing, Pte Manning said he had acted "out of love for our country".
His supporters have called on President Barack Obama to pardon the soldier or commute his sentence to time served.
By Tom GeogheganBBC News, Fort Meade
After 10 weeks of legal argument, the sentencing was over in minutes. Judge Col Denise Lind sat in front of the Stars and Stripes and the US Army flag as she sentenced Pte Manning to 35 years in prison.
The 25-year-old defendant, in full military uniform, cut a diminutive, bespectacled figure as he sat in court, tapping his feet and rearranging his papers. But as he stood to hear her words he showed little emotion. And his aunt, Debra van Alstyne, also seemed impassive behind him.
The hush was broken as he was led away. His supporters, dressed in black T-shirts bearing the word "truth", ignored earlier warnings by court officials and the judge to remain calm. Shouts of "We'll be waiting for you, Bradley" and "Thank you, Bradley, we love you" rang out.
Pte Manning will receive a credit against his sentence of about three and a half years, including time he has already served in jail and 112 days in recompense for the harsh conditions of his initial confinement.
His defence lawyer David Coombs said Pte Manning would first be eligible for parole in about seven years.
Prosecutors had asked for a 60-year sentence in order to send a message to future potential leakers, and Wikileaks called the 35-year sentence a "significant strategic victory".
Military prosecutors did not immediately comment.
In addition to the prison sentence, likely to be served at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Judge Col Denise Lind sentenced Pte Manning to be demoted to private and dishonourably discharged from the US Army, and to forfeit his pay.
While stationed in Iraq in 2010, the junior intelligence analyst passed hundreds of thousands of battlefield reports and diplomatic cables to Wikileaks, the pro-transparency group headed by Julian Assange.
Pte Manning has said he leaked the secret files in the hopes of sparking a public debate about US foreign policy and the military.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mr Coombs, flanked by Manning supporters, said he would ask President Obama to pardon Pte Manning.
"The time to end Brad's suffering is now," he said.
Mr Coombs read a statement from Pte Manning that will be included in the request.
"The decisions I made in 2010 were made out of a concern for my country and the world we live in," Pte Manning said, according to Mr Coombs.
"When I chose to disclose classified information... I did so out of love for our country and a sense of duty for others. If you deny my request for a pardon I will serve my time knowing that sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society."
Mr Coombs also read a statement from the soldier's family, which said they were "saddened and disappointed" by the sentence.
For his own part, the lawyer said he was in tears after the sentence was handed down but that Pte Manning had told him: "I know you did your best. It's going to be OK."
When asked about the pardon request, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he was "not going to get ahead" of the process.
The soldier's uncle, Kevin Fox, of Haverfordwest, Wales, said the family had expected a harsher sentence.
"In my honest opinion, he shouldn't have been given any time at all," Mr Fox told the BBC. "In my eyes he is a hero."
Guilty: Seven out of eight espionage charges, five theft charges, two computer fraud charges, five military counts of violating a lawful general regulation, one of wanton publication of intelligence on the internet
Not guilty: Aiding the enemy, unauthorised possession of information relating to national defence
The verdict and sentence will be reviewed, and possibly reduced, by a military district commander and will be automatically reviewed by the Army Court of Criminal Appeals.
Pte Manning may also petition the court for lenience during the appeals process.
The young soldier grew up in Oklahoma and in Wales, where his mother is from, and reportedly joined the US Army to help pay for college.
What is Wikileaks?
Where the cables came from
Cable leak: Startling or damaging?
As an intelligence analyst, he had access to a large amount of very sensitive information, despite his junior rank.
He deployed to Iraq in 2009 and soon became disillusioned with the war, his defence lawyer has said.
A military psychiatrist testified that Pte Manning had struggled with his gender identity and wanted to become a woman at the time of the leak.
Navy Capt David Moulton testified that Pte Manning had felt abandoned by friends and family and that his relationship with his boyfriend had hit a rough patch.
According to evidence presented by the defence, military supervisors ignored Pte Manning's erratic behaviour, which included trying to grab a gun during a counselling session.
His lawyers said such actions had shown that Pte Manning had not been fit for duty overseas.
Defence lawyers said Pte Manning was treated unfairly in solitary confinement in Quantico, Virginia and in a cell at Camp Arifjan, a US Army installation in Kuwait.
Pte Manning told the court he remembered thinking: "I'm going to die, I'm stuck inside this cage."
The leaks enabled Wikileaks to publish sensitive messages between US diplomats and records of military incidents in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a cockpit video showing an Apache helicopter killing 12 people in the Iraqi capital in 2007.
The revelations caused significant embarrassment to the US government, and its officials have said the disclosures damaged America's relations with its allies and disrupted the war effort in Afghanistan.
The matches were just too tough given the travelling time at the end of an energy-sapping season.
The Scots instead played Nigeria in London, while Michael O'Neill took the Northern Ireland squad out to face Alexis Sanchez, Luis Suarez and company.
O'Neill's side lost both matches but it doesn't appear to have done them any harm as they prepare to take their place at the European Championship party, with the Scots once again pressing their faces up against the door.
Indeed, many within O'Neill's camp point to that double-header in 2014 as being key to their recent success story.
The wondering of what might have been for the Scots was perfectly illustrated by Steven Naismith - a man who has just suffered the ignominy of relegation from the Premier League with Norwich City.
"It's not great to be the warm-up act," he said, as he and his Scots' team-mates prepare to take on the role of sparring partner for Italy and this summer's party hosts, France.
It is a marked change in tack by Strachan as he gets ready to lock horns with two European footballing superpowers.
Up first are the four-time world champions Italy in Malta, the soon-to-be scene of Scotland's opening World Cup qualifier.
The Italians face Republic of Ireland, who beat Scotland to qualification, in Group E of the forthcoming Euro finals and view Strachan's side as similar opponents.
Their fine-tuning will ensure a difficult night for Strachan's patchwork squad with a Euro 2016 opener against Belgium less than three weeks away.
While the Azzurri are not at the peak of their powers these days - they have won only one World Cup finals match since their fourth coronation in Berlin in 2006 - head coach Antonio Conte guided them through an unbeaten, if uninspiring, qualification campaign.
Finishing ahead of Croatia at the top of their group, they qualified with a game to spare.
The gulf between the Italians and the Scots is demonstrated by Conte's refusal to select the legendary Andrea Pirlo and striker Sebastian Giovinco because they ply their trade in Major League Soccer.
The standard is not high enough for Conte's taste. He has described it as "paying the consequence", albeit the classy Pirlo has just celebrated his 37th birthday and has not hit the heights he once did as he plays out the twilight of his career in New York.
The current squad are aiming to win the European Championship for Italy for just a second time and go one better than 2012, when they were blown away by a Spanish siege in the Kiev final.
At 38, you would forgive Gianluigi Buffon if he was relaxing with a large glass of Chianti in hand these days.
Far from it. The Juventus goalkeeper set a new Serie A clean-sheet record of 974 minutes this season as he lifted his seventh Scudetto.
The 156-times-capped Buffon is not the only 2006 alumni to continue to report, with Juve team-mate Andrea Barzagli adding his experience to the squad.
Those two, along with another Bianconeri legend, Georgio Chiellini, are likely to go to the finals as Conte prepares to whittle his squad down to 23.
It is a group that will be minus midfield maestros Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti because of injury.
Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli will also have a watching brief, for very different reasons, having scored a paltry once while on loan at AC Milan this term during what has been a troubled time since his virtuoso performance took the Italians past Germany in their Warsaw semi-final four years ago.
Instead, Conte, who will take over at Chelsea after the finals, has been leaning on Graziano Pelle and, with the Southampton marksman having scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season, is likely to again.
A criticism of Conte has been a reluctance to give youth prominence, with the likes of Juve defender Daniele Rugani, Davide Zappacosta of city rivals Torino, club-mate Marco Benassi, Brazilian-born Jorginho, Lorenzo Insigne of Napoli and Fiorentina's Federico Bernardeschi all aiming to impress against the Scots and make the final cut for the finals.
Riccardo Montolivo and Daniele De Rossi remain important cogs in midfield, with Roma's Alessandro Florenzi certain to add to his 15 caps in the coming weeks along with Manchester United's Matteo Darmian.
The last time the nations clashed left the most bitter of tastes for Scotland as Spanish referee Manuel Gonzalez earned hate-figure status by awarding an Italian free-kick that began a chain of events that cost Scotland a place at Euro 2008 as a Christian Panucci header took the then world champions to Austria and Switzerland.
The stakes were at their highest on that wet November night in 2007 and, while the same cannot be said of this particular joust, like O'Neill, it might just be something Strachan appreciates in the fullness of time.
Samuel gave the hosts the lead when he latched onto Rory Donnelly's through-ball to finish past keeper Adam Davies.
Conor Hourihane levelled for Barnsley on the volley but, a minute later, Davies parried Donnelly's shot into the path of Dack who tapped home.
Hourihane could have levelled again but his late long-range shot went wide.
The Premier League side have decided they need Barrow back in the squad to fill the void left by Nathan Dyer's loan move to Leicester City.
Gambia international Barrow, 22, made five appearances for Championship side Blackburn after joining on a three-month loan in August.
He won his second cap for Gambia in Sunday's African Cup of Nations 1-0 defeat by Cameroon.
A loan spell at Nottingham Forest was also cut short last season after injuries to Wayne Routledge and Jefferson Montero.
Klitschko, 39, had been due to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO titles against Fury on 24 October in the German city.
However, the Ukrainian, unbeaten for 11 years, withdrew from the fight last week, citing a calf injury.
Klitschko and Fury await the agreement of broadcaster Sky Sports for the fight to proceed on that date.

Bolton fighter Fury revealed on Twitter that his opponent had been declared fit to fight on 28 November.
Last week, the 27-year-old had attended a news conference dressed as Batman during the build-up.
Fury - who called Klitschko "boring" in July - had taken his seat at the event in London before he leaped over his table to grapple with someone dressed as Batman's enemy The Joker.
He then turned to Klitschko and said: "This is a fool, just like you are."
Fury - who is undefeated in 24 fights - successfully defended his European title in March and will tackle Klitschko in his record-breaking 28th heavyweight title bout.
Shivy, 18, who prefers to be identified by his first name, is an Indian citizen but has been living in the US since the age of three.
He has alleged that his parents tricked him into coming to India on holiday and then took away his passport and green card.
He says that they then tried to forcibly marry him off to a man.
His parents have refused to comment on the allegations.
Shivy, who was born female but identifies as male, told BBC Hindi that his parents brought him to the north Indian city of Agra to "fix" him, once they found out that he had a girlfriend.
"They took away my mobile phone and laptop even while we were in America, but I still never imagined then that our annual holiday to India in July would have any other motive," he said.
The Delhi High Court termed the alleged harassment as nothing short of "bigotry" and said that India was a land of tolerance.
Transgender activists and the support group Nazariya arranged legal counsel and shelter for Shivy in Delhi after he ran away from Agra earlier this month.
Shivy has alleged in his petition that his father and some unknown men posing as police officers came to the residence of the activists who helped him, adding that he fears for their, and his own, safety.
He has asked the Delhi High Court to help him get his passport and green card back so that he can return to the United States where he is pursuing a neurobiology course at the University of California.
The Delhi High Court has asked his parents and state police to respond to the allegations.
The 42-year-old's surprise move sees him replace Nigel Davies, who was dismissed by Gloucester last month.
The Cherry and Whites endured a disappointing season, finishing ninth in the Premiership table.
"David's a very impressive character and I'm really excited about the appointment," chief executive Stephen Vaughan told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"We put in place a really thorough search process and we had dozens and dozens of conversations with very credible candidates, but David really stood out.

"His recruitment and retention of players at Ulster was second to none in Europe.
"He's always been very successful and has great morals and humility. I think his skill set will fit perfectly well with the people we've got at the club."
But while Gloucester are delighted at capturing Humphreys, Ulster have been left stunned by the speed of the former Ireland fly-half's departure from Ravenhill.
Ulster chief executive Shane Logan said he always knew that a day would come when Humphreys would move from the club for career reasons.
But he was left "taken aback" when Humphreys told him two days ago that he would be moving to the Premiership club.
Asked whether any attempts had been made to make Humphreys change his mind, Logan replied:"I don't think we tried to do anything.
"I think David has been consistent over the years that he wants his career to advance," added the Ulster chief executive.
"We've had a joint career plan. Part of that has been to advance excellent levels of success and a really good legacy here.
"We wouldn't stand in David's way. We've always been clear that David wanted to move his career on.
"The surprising part at the end, and possibly the disappointing part, is the speed at which it happened."
Despite his disappointment, Logan wishes Humphreys well for the future and said that his good personal relationship with his former director of rugby would remain.
Ex-Ireland fly-half Humphreys was appointed to the Ulster position after retiring as a player in 2008.
His roles included player recruitment and Ulster made a number of major signings during his stint.
Humphreys was instrumental in convincing World Cup winners Johann Muller, Ruan Pienaar and John Afoa to join the Belfast-based club.
The arrival of international stars helped revive Ulster's European fortunes and they reached the knockout stages of the last four Heineken Cup competitions, including the final in 2012, where they were well beaten by Leinster at Twickenham.
Humphreys' departure ends an eventful week for Ulster.
Ireland international forward Stephen Ferris announced his retirement because of injury on Tuesday and the club announced on Thursday that their redeveloped Ravenhill ground was going to be officially known as Kingspan Stadium from now on, following the signing of a 10-year naming rights deal.
Ironically, Humphreys' brother Ian is returning to Ulster this summer after a two-year stint with London Irish.
The Regal Cinema in Fordingbridge, Hampshire operated from 1933 until its closure in 1965.
Electronics firm Corintech reduced the 290-seat auditorium to 30 seats, converting the rest of the building into flats for its employees.
'Casablanca' will be the first film screened on Friday.
New Forest District Council said it welcomed the re-use of a property which was in "poor condition" after lying vacant for four years.
Approving the cinema application in September, the authority said some jobs would be retained on the site, which was previously occupied by the firm Branksome China until 2012.
Corintech chairman Brian Currie said £1.5m project had "stirred up latent desire" for a cinema in Fordingbridge.
He said the art deco building had been sympathetically restored, with a foyer close to the original 1930s design.
The cinema's operators, Fordingbridge Regal Cinema Club said they will show "a variety of classic, modern and recent films from a range of genres."
Corintech had told the council it needed the eight studio flats to allow it to recruit engineers in an area where accommodation costs were high.

It will be the Englishman's second final after an 18-8 defeat in 2008 by Ronnie O'Sullivan - the player he looks set to meet in this year's final.
Resuming the final session 14-10 up, the 32-year-old took the first two frames in his usual tenacious manner before Maguire pulled two back.
But Carter made a composed 70 break to wrap up the match and reach the final.
Carter produced a sublime matchplay performance, frustrating his opponent with excellent safety play before knocking in frame winning contributions.
Having battled all season with Crohn's disease, and threatening to retire because of ill health, it has been a remarkable turnaround for Carter.
"I was hitting the ball well and it is nice to come here to produce that and be in the final. He was potting some unbelievable long balls and I'm just pleased to be through," Carter told BBC Sport.
"I was in a bad place before Christmas but I've worked hard at my health and fitness."
He is likely to face O'Sullivan, who leads Matthew Stevens 15-9 going into their last session on Saturday evening, an encounter Carter will relish, after defeat by 'The Rocket' four years ago.
Maguire, who ended Stephen Hendry's career in the previous round, was on the back foot having gone 5-3 and 10-6 behind.
Despite making a fantastic 142 break in the 15th frame, the Scot was powerless to resist Carter's experience and nous around the table.
"It was a great performance and a well justified win. He frustrated Stephen Maguire from the first session and kept in front the whole way. He looks determined and he won't be able to slack off with Peter Ebdon in his corner."
Although the Englishman made a 134 four frames later, he played cautiously and took the opportunities which were presented to him by Maguire.
The fiery Glaswegian rapped his cue on the table and floor when circumstances failed to go his way and he sat ruefully in his chair as he watched his opponent strike a killer blow with each draw of the cue.
But Maguire staged a late comeback in the penultimate session to stay in contention of a maiden final appearance and the third session's play promised an interesting finish.
Carter, who has won two ranking events in his career, took the first in controversial fashion. Holding a 21 point lead, he was put in a tricky snooker by Maguire and after six failed attempts, referee Leo Scullion did not call a miss, leaving him three points behind. Maguire came to the table and hit the jaws with the red, and Carter, after a superb pot, took the frame.
He took the next one too to sit on the verge of victory. The Essex man was staying cool, showing no emotion, watching each ball into the heart of the pocket.
He could have wrapped it up in the next but showed signs of Crucible jitters when missing a simple red and Maguire came in to clinch a frame, and his heart will have been beating just a little bit faster as his adversary took the following too.
However, Carter held his nerve with a break of 70 to book his place in the showpiece event at the Crucible Theatre.

The operation involved inserting a gene into the eye, a treatment that revived light-detecting cells.
The doctors involved believe that the treatment could in time be used to treat common forms of blindness.
Prof Robert MacLaren, the surgeon who led the research, said he was "absolutely delighted" at the outcome.
"We really couldn't have asked for a better result," he said.
BBC News exclusively reported on the start of the trial two years ago. The first patient was Jonathan Wyatt, who was 63 at the time.
Mr Wyatt has a genetic condition known as choroideremia, which results in the light-detecting cells at the back of the eye gradually dying.
Mr Wyatt was still just about able to see when he had the operation. His hope was that the procedure would stop further deterioration and save what little sight he had left.
He, like another patient in Professor MacLaren's trial, found that not only did the operation stabilise his vision - it improved it. The other subjects, who were at earlier stages in their vision, experienced improvements in their ability to see at night.
Mr Wyatt is now able to read three lines further down in an optician's sight chart.
"I felt that I had come to the edge of an abyss," he told BBC News.
"I looked down at total blackness. Professor MacLaren tapped me on the shoulder and said 'come this way, it's possible to see again'."
Mr Wyatt's wife, Diana, confirmed that the prospect of total blindness had made him feel very depressed.
"Now he is very optimistic," she explained.
"He is more independent, he can find things he couldn't before, he can go to the shops on his own and he's less of a nuisance!"
Another of the patients who underwent the treatment, Wayne Thompson, said he had noticed an immediate effect after the operation.
"My colour vision improved. Trees and flowers seemed much more vivid and I was able to see stars for the first time since I was 17 when my vision began to deteriorate," he told BBC News.
Mr Thomson said he had spent his life resigned to the fact that he would go blind.
"I've lived the last 25 years with the certainty that I am going to go blind and now (after the operation) there is the possibility that I will hang on to my sight," he said.
When Mr Thompson was first diagnosed, he was told that he would not be able to see his daughter, who is now nine, grow up.
"Now I hope I'll see my grandchildren grow up," he told BBC News.
If the improvements seen in the patients continue, the aim will be to offer the treatment to younger choroideremia patients to prevent them from losing their sight.
The condition is relatively rare: it is thought to affect a thousand people in the UK.
But Professor MacLaren believes that success with choroideremia demonstrates the principle that gene therapy could be used to cure other forms of genetic blindness including age-related macular degeneration.
This condition causes blindness in 300,000 people in Britain and causes a deterioration in the vision of one in four people over the age of 75.
"The mechanisms of choroideremia and what we are trying to do with the treatment would broadly be applicable to more common causes of blindness," the professor explained.
"Choroideremia shows some similarities with macular degeneration in that we are targeting the same cells. We don't yet know which genes to target for macular degeneration but we do know now how to do it and how to put the genes back in."
Clara Aglen of the Royal National Institute of Blind People is also cautiously optimistic.
She told BBC News: "It is at an early stage at the moment, but it does offer hope for other conditions that have a genetic basis such as macular degeneration and glaucoma.
"As this process advances there is hope that it could be transferred across and provide a cure for these common causes of blindness."

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) said the 500km (310-mile) stretch between Haridwar in Uttarakhand state and Unnao in Uttar Pradesh needed urgent action.
The court also ordered that anybody who dumps waste in the river could be fined up to 50,000 rupees (£600; $775).
The NGT's orders are legally binding but can be challenged in the courts.
The environment court ordered the Uttar Pradesh government to move hundreds of tanneries away from the river in Kanpur. It set a deadline for its demands of six weeks.
The tanneries are a major source of employment for many Muslims in the area, but they heavily pollute the river.
The NGT is known for passing strict orders to protect the environment, but its rulings are often challenged in high courts and the Supreme Court.
The court also does not have an agency to enforce its orders, and it relies on state law enforcement.
The Uttar Pradesh government is yet to make a statement on the NGT's latest ban on waste dumping by the Ganges.
The river is sacred to Hindus who worship it as "Mother Ganges", but it has also become badly polluted by industrial waste, sewage and dead bodies, apparently dumped by families who could not afford cremations.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised several billion dollars for a massive clean-up of the river.
But activists say the pace of the operation to clean the river has been slow.

So did Roy Hodgson get his provisional England Euro 2016 squad right?
Opta statistics suggest an England squad based on data alone would have Watford's Troy Deeney right in contention, with Bournemouth's Steve Cook and Simon Francis competing to partner Manchester United's Chris Smalling in the heart of defence.
BBC Sport takes a look at the statistics around key England selection decisions.
Joe Hart, Tom Heaton, Fraser Forster
Probably the easiest decision for Hodgson, even with the absence of the Premier League's top English shot-stopper -Stoke's Jack Butland (103 saves) - through injury.
Fraser Forster (95.3) and Joe Hart (86.4) are the top two English goalkeepers for minutes played per goal conceded.
Burnley's Championship-winning keeper Tom Heaton played every minute for his club this season, keeping 20 clean sheets, and takes the third slot.
Who do you think should start at Euro 2016? Step into Roy Hodgson's shoes and pick your XI - and then share it with your friends using our brand new team selector.
Nathaniel Clyne, Kyle Walker, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling, John Stones, Ryan Bertrand, Danny Rose.
Everton's John Stones and Manchester United's Chris Smalling have had very busy seasons. While Smalling, 26, has emerged from United's below-par season with his reputation enhanced, Stones, 21, has faced criticism for Everton's disappointing campaign.
Smalling is an obvious choice, topping the charts for clean sheets (17) and interceptions (98), but by using other key defensive measurements of aerial challenges won, tackles made and clearances, Bournemouth defensive duo Simon Francis and Steve Cook do very well.
Although Stones does not register in the top 10 of any of the defensive metrics bar clean sheets (eight), his Premier League 2015-16 distribution statistics are the best of any other defender in the England squad.
The 21-year-old has made the most passes (1,569), with the most passes per 90 minutes (50.81) and has the best passing completion figure (89%), while conceding the fewest fouls (11).
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker urged people to "stop knocking" Stones, adding: "He's got it all and will be a top England player."
But former England striker and MOTD pundit Alan Shearer described the defence as the "Achilles heel" and a problem which Hodgson has not "been able to solve".
Dele Alli, Ross Barkley, Fabian Delph, Eric Dier, Danny Drinkwater, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, James Milner, Raheem Sterling, Andros Townsend, Jack Wilshere.
One name who sparked a lot of debate was Jack Wilshere.
The Arsenal central midfielder, 24, has been out with injury for most of the season and only made three appearances towards the end of the campaign.
A player who might feel aggrieved at missing out is West Ham's Mark Noble. Unlike Wilshere, who has 28 caps, the 29-year-old is uncapped, but helped the Hammers finish seventh.
He is fourth on the list of this season's English Premier League scorers, with seven goals, and ranked fourth on the shot conversion list.
Noble is also fourth on the successful passes order of merit, with Eric Dier the only England midfielder ahead of him, with an 86.2% passing accuracy.
Another left behind is Arsenal's Walcott. He plays as a forward for his club, but would likely have been picked as one of Hodgson's attacking midfielders had he made the cut.
The England coach cited the fact injury has curtailed his season, but the chart below shows the 27-year-old has played more minutes than three others who made the midfield list.
Dele Alli's 10 goals, nine assists and 55 chances created for Tottenham mark him out as England's standout player.
James Milner's statistics for Liverpool this season are also impressive. He leads the assists with 11, which were included in the 61 chances he created - second only to Leicester's Marc Albrighton, who misses out.
Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Daniel Sturridge, Marcus Rashford.
The one hot topic regarding the striking department was the inclusion of Manchester United's Marcus Rashford. The 18-year-old only made his senior debut for United on 25 February, but has since scored seven goals from 16 games in all competitions.
His rapid rise to prominence is underlined by his fledgling Premier League statistics - his seven shots on target and one off target, resulting in four goals, are not enough to make the Opta lists.
Shearer told BBC Sport that Rashford "deserves" his call-up as he is "full of energy, scores goals and he looks a bright prospect", with Hodgson right to "look towards youth".
The uncapped teenager, who has not even played at under-21 level, was a popular subject on social media once the squad was announced at 11:00 BST.
Defoe's exclusion was also discussed widely. The 33-year-old Sunderland striker was touted for a spot, and had a good case.
His 15 league goals helped Sunderland to safety and meant he was behind only Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy in the English scoring charts.
He was also ranked fourth on total shots (59), shooting accuracy (66.1%) and shot conversion rate (25.42%).
One player barely mentioned in the argument is Watford striker Troy Deeney. The 27-year-old was the only other Englishman to manage more than 10 league goals (13).
He also made more assists (seven) and created more chances (55) than any other English forward. But it was not quite enough to convince Hodgson.
The 531ft (161m) British Airways i360 viewing tower stands on the site once occupied by the entrance to Brighton's ruined West Pier.
Prince Philip was greeted by large crowds as he arrived at the attraction.
The royal party ascended inside the curved-glass pod which gives a 360-degree view of up to 26 miles of the south coast.
The duke was shown the control room and the operating winch before unveiling a plaque.
The i360 holds the Guinness World Record for the globe's most slender tower, with a diameter of 3.9m at its widest point.
Visitors to the attraction ascend to 450ft (137m) and can get views from Bexhill in East Sussex, to Chichester in West Sussex and the South Downs to the north.
The tower first opened to passengers on 4 August but was closed twice in September due to technical problems.
About 180 people were stuck in mid-air for two hours on 8 September. It broke down a second time three days later, trapping 200 in the observation pod.
Police identified Andre Marshall, 29, as the man found dead in Urmston, Greater Manchester on Wednesday.
Marshall, was jailed in 2008 for assault and possession of a firearm, following an attack at a gym in 2007.
He was a member of the Gooch Gang from Manchester's Moss Side, that was involved in clashes with rival gangs in the 1990s.
A post-mortem examination revealed Marshall he died of gunshot wounds, said a police spokeswoman.
He was found fatally injured next to a car on Manor Park, at about 07:30 BST on Wednesday.
Ch Supt Mary Doyle, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "We do not believe this was a random attack and we are still working to establish a motive which, as of yet, is not known."
In the mid 1990s, Manchester had been dubbed "Gunchester" by the media with gangs' names related to the streets in their patch; Gooch Close, Doddington and Pepperhill among others.
The 26-year-old, who has scored 19 goals in 33 appearances this season, has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Championship club.
He is the first player in 30 years to swap Rovers for City since striker Trevor Morgan did so in January 1987.
The Robins have also re-signed winger David Cotterill, 29, on loan from Birmingham for the rest of the season.
Cotterill came through City's academy, making 66 appearances before joining Wigan for £2m in 2006.
Taylor originally joined the Pirates on a free transfer from Forest Green Rovers in 2014 and scored 67 times in 132 appearances for the club.
Direct movement between the two Bristol clubs is rare, with David Clarkson, who joined Rovers from City in 2012, the most recent example.
"I think we've got ourselves a natural goalscorer," Bristol City manager Lee Johnson told the club website.
"It'll be a big step up in standard for him, but he's been able to deal with every challenge that's been thrown at him so far in his career."
Meanwhile, the Robins have added striker Freddie Hinds and defender Tin Plavotic to their under-23 squad from Luton Town and Austrian club FC Pasching respectively.
Plavotic has subsequently been sent on loan to Cheltenham Town, although the League Two side say he has only been brought in as back-up and will continue to train with City.
And former Watford defender Joel Ekstrand, 27, has left Ashton Gate after having his contract terminated by mutual consent.
BBC Points West sports editor Alistair Durden
Taylor's move is a controversial one because of the fierce rivalry between the two clubs, who are separated by just four miles.
Rovers did well to get Matty Taylor to sign a new contract in the summer, when he could have walked away for free. But they had to include a minimum fee release clause, which Bristol City have activated.

As many as 80 victims of an infamous detective unit that abused suspects over three decades could be in line for a share of the award.
The city council also issued a formal apology and vowed to teach schoolchildren about the abuses.
Former commander Jon Burge was jailed for four years after being convicted of lying about the torture scandal.
Many of the victims were African American. Some could receive as much as $100,000.
The terms of the award were announced last month by city officials and Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
"This stain cannot be removed from our city's history but it can be used as a lesson of what not do do," the mayor said.
The names of more than a dozen torture victims and survivors were read aloud and the city council gave them a standing ovation.
The council then voted 42-0 in favour of the award.
Last season's Grand Final runners-up are bottom of Super League having lost all six of their games this season.
The Wolves have suffered from injuries, including the loss of Stefan Ratchford.
"They had six or seven busted players at the start of this run," Noble told BBC 5 live's Rugby League podcast.
"Every coach will tell you it depends on how healthy your horses are.
"When you've invested heavily in super star players - the [Ben] Curries of this world, the Ratchfords, who haven't been playing, and [Ben] Westwood's only just back - when you miss those pivotal people, and your other pivotal people are slightly off form, it's like Leeds encountered last year - the perfect storm."
England utility-back Ratchford returned at St Helens on Friday but was unable to prevent the Wolves losing 31-6 to seal their worst start to Super League.
Their only win this campaign came in the World Club Series when they produced an excellent display to beat Australian side Brisbane Broncos 27-18.
This is in stark contrast to last season when they were consistently good to win the League Leaders' Shield and reach the Challenge Cup final and Super League Grand Final.
Noble believes a change of personnel has also added to their problems in 2017.
"Remember, they've swapped halves," he added. "Kevin Brown, a new player who has to get used to the system, for [Chris] Sandow, who was a line breaker and a runner. Everyone is getting used to each other."
Smith was asked whether he worried that his job may be under threat after the mis-firing start that has left the Wolves outsiders for a Grand Final, even this early in the season.
"No, if I worried about my job I'd be a taxi driver," he said. "This is the industry that I love and adore and enjoy. And while my players are trying hard, that's all any coach can ask of them.
"We're going to handle this patch with dignity. It'll come, it's frustrating in the meantime.
"I enjoy all the times I spend with these boys, even the bad bits.
"This is where people stand up when it gets a bit tough. A lot of people walk away from it all, take the easy decisions. That's not what Rugby League people do."
Noble himself has been in a similar position when he was head coach of Bradford. In 2005, the Bulls were hot pre-season favourites, yet suffered opening round defeats against unfancied Wakefield and Widnes.
They lost five of their first nine games, but still went on to win the Grand Final at the end of the year.
"In that position you're hoping that the players have the same mindsets. Let's strip this down to basics and find out what's going wrong and we can put that right.
"They have to understand that to get the first one is very important. They've got to kick well and chase well, they've got to do all those fundamental things that keep them in a game.
"You've got to play the percentages, which you don't like doing as a coach because you want to entertain. Simplify the game, get one win, then you've got to grind out the next one.
"But not having your best players out on deck every week is a strain on the squad.
"It's not a nice place to be, you've got to roll your sleeves up and grind out a win."
Samia Shahid, 28, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, died in Pakistan in July.
Chaudhry Muhammad Shahid is being held as a suspected accessory to the crime, with Ms Shahid's ex-husband accused of murder.
Lahore High Court heard the prosecution provided insufficient incriminatory evidence for him to be kept in police custody.
The prosecution claim Mr Shahid, who has been in custody since July, was involved in planning her journey to Pakistan in July and also assisted in her murder.
Their arguments were based on Ms Shahid's conversations with friends and differences in the statements of her father in police reports, but the court said it could not accept this as evidence at the bail hearing.
Mr Shahid will be released on bail shortly, with police investigations continuing.
Neither Chaudhry Muhammad Shakeel, who is accused of her murder, nor Mr Shahid have been formally charged.
Ms Shahid, a beautician, married her second husband in Leeds in 2014 and the couple moved to Dubai.
Her second husband Syed Mukhtar Kazim claimed his wife, who died while visiting relatives, was killed because her family disapproved of their marriage.
Initially it was claimed she had died of a heart attack, but a post-mortem examination found she had been strangled.
In October, police said they wanted to question Ms Shahid's mother, Imtiaz BiBi, and sister, Madiha Shahid, with arrest warrants issued after they failed to appear at a court appearance.
The film will "document the journey from the moment in 1991 when Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band" to their acrimonious split.
According to a statement, the film-makers have been given "unprecedented access" to the band and their archives.
Amy director Asif Kapadia has taken a production role on the film.
Mat Whitecross will direct, having previously made the Stone Roses' film Spike Island - a fictional story about a wannabe rock band who tried to get their demo tape into the hands of their idols at their seminal outdoor show near Widnes.
He also won acclaim for Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, his whimsical, mischievous biopic of punk pioneer Ian Dury, with a head-turning central performance by Andy Serkis.
Amy broke box-office records on its release earlier this year, eventually becoming the highest-grossing British documentary of all time, with takings of £5.4 million.
Oasis's story is less tragic and much more convoluted. Initially called Rain, they were signed to Alan McGee's Creation Records in 1993. A year later their debut album, Definitely Maybe topped the charts - but the Gallagher brothers' fractious relationship was already a story.
In September 1994, Noel walked out of the band after Liam made offensive remarks about American audiences, hitting him over the head with a tambourine during a Los Angeles gig.
They reconciled to record the career-defining album (What's The Story) Morning Glory and, by 1996, were able to play two sold-out gigs at Knebworth, watched by 250,000 fans.
Over the next decade, the band scored eight UK number one singles, 15 NME Awards, five Brit Awards, nine Q Awards and four MTV Europe Music Awards.
But there was a constant backdrop of squabbles and in-fighting. Things eventually came to a head backstage in Paris in 2009, after a row about Liam's fashion business led to a violent dressing room clash.
Both brothers have continued to make music, with varying degrees of success. Last month, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' second record, Chasing Yesterday, won best album at the Q Awards.

Fourth place could provide European football if one of the Premiership's top three win the Scottish Cup.
But their 0-0 draw at Kilmarnock leaves Hearts 10 points behind Rangers and four behind fourth-placed St Johnstone, who both have a game in hand.
"Fourth place is 100% our aim and ambition," Smith told BBC Scotland.
"We play St Johnstone and the other top teams in the division so points can be picked up and dropped anywhere. If we can keep within reach of St Johnstone until that game then it's massive for us.
"If we can achieve European football then it's the bare minimum I think Hearts should be achieving.
"It's frustrating for us coming away and not getting the three points. We maybe didn't play as well as we wanted to or create as many chances as we wanted to, but we could have nicked it.
"Maybe six weeks ago we would have come here and not got a clean sheet and maybe lost the game 1-0."
Hearts were second in the Premiership when Robbie Neilson left in early December, but have won only five - and lost nine - of their 17 league games since Ian Cathro took over as head coach.
"It's been a big turnaround since Robbie Neilson left, with new ideas and new faces, and it can only be good for me as a young player dealing with all these different things," Smith added.
The pilot ejected from the F-15D before it crashed in a field in Weston Hills at 15:28 BST on Wednesday.
A witness said the aircraft, which came from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, flew unmanned for "a good mile".
The US Air Force said the accident would be investigated. One MP vowed he would "keep a careful watch".
Brian Jex, who works at a garage near the crash site, went to help the pilot when he landed.
"He stood up, threw his helmet on the floor, in disgust, I think," said Mr Jex.
"I asked him if he was all right. He said yes, and he used my phone to phone his base, I presume.
"We gathered his parachute up and walked him back to the road.
"The police were there by then so we just left it to them."
The fighter jet crashed during a combat training exercise involving two aircraft.
Janet Prescott said the aircraft were "dogfighting" over her house in Weston Hills for half an hour before the crash.
She saw the F-15D come down and said it was "pure luck rather than judgement" that it did not hit houses and the school.
"From what I saw that was not a controlled crash," she said.
"That plane was completely out of control and wasn't manned for the last mile it was flying.
"When it lands so close to a school and so close to houses, that, for me, is a major concern.
"It could have taken any number of houses out. Weston Hills yesterday could have been another Lockerbie."
Ms Prescott said aircraft practised dogfighting over the area on a regular basis.
"I think there needs to be a very serious review of what's going on in this area and the level of activity that's happening," she said.
"The activity over the village and area has increased over the last few weeks, where we are getting jets on a daily basis.
"If they continue to dogfight over the village, who says it won't happen again? It's an accident waiting to happen."
Col Robert Novotny, base commander at RAF Lakenheath, said any lessons to be taken from the F-15D crash would be published in due course.
"The aircraft is safe," he said.
"I've flown that aircraft in particular for about 20 years of my life. We have phenomenal maintenance personnel, we have very well trained pilots.
"When we find out all the facts we release those to the public through the Accident Investigation Board.
"We'll make all of our lessons learned available to the public at the right time."
Bernard White, who was working at home in Weston Hills when the F-15D crashed, said fighters often come "screaming" over his house but he does not take much notice.
"There must have been a one in a million chance of this crash happening so it doesn't really worry me," said Mr White.
"I was looking at the site this morning and thinking if the pilot had tried landing the plane where he did he couldn't have picked a better spot because it missed everything.
"But he didn't put it there, it was just chance."
Four US aircrew died when a helicopter from RAF Lakenheath crashed in Norfolk while on a training mission in January.
In 2011, a councillor in nearby Deeping St James called for an investigation after two US F-15 jets, also from RAF Lakenheath, were seen apparently almost colliding while dogfighting over the village.
Sean Maffett, a former RAF navigator and aviation expert, believes this type of combat training is often done over the sea, but could have been done over land because of the weather.
An aviation enthusiast claims to have heard radio transmissions from the F-15D before it crashed.
Mr Maffett, who read what the pilot apparently said on an internet forum, said: "As he was coming down he [the pilot] was calling out every thousand feet, and when he got down to 2,000ft he decided there was nothing more he could do, and he ejected from the aircraft.
"I'm not able to confirm the truth of what was said, but I have no reason to disbelieve it."
John Hayes, MP for South Holland and the Deepings, said he was concerned about the safety of his constituents.
"I, of course, will keep a careful watch on this," he said.
"In these kind of circumstances there's always an investigation to find out what occurred and why, and to see if any lessons can be learned from that."
The Irish FA has charged Carrick with a disciplinary breach concerning the failure to implement Haveron's touchline ban against Dungannon.
Punishment would include the forfeiture of the match, with the loss of three points leaving Carrick bottom.
Rangers said they would make a further statement following legal guidance.
Carrick are in the dock over a breach of Article 23.1 of the IFA Disciplinary Code over Haveron's presence within the technical area during their victory against the Swifts on 23 April.
The sanction is a minimum fine of £350 and forfeiture of the match on a 3-0 scoreline.
If Carrick are stripped of the three points, they could be automatically relegated, putting Warrenpoint into the play-off and Ballinamallard would be safe.
The decision would also render Ballinamallard's first leg promotion-relegation play-off victory over Institute invalid.
Meanwhile, Portadown must attend a further hearing over the registration of Peter McMahon.
Following a player registration sub-committee's investigation into player payment irregularities in April, the IFA's disciplinary committee has asked the Ports to attend another hearing.
The Portugal forward, 28, was linked with a return to former club Manchester United over the summer.
"Manchester United is the past. Real Madrid is now my home," he said. "I hope that I'm here until I retire. This is a great club."
Spanish reports suggest he will earn an annual salary of 17m euros (£14.25m).

His previous contract at the Bernabeu was due to expire in 2015.
Ronaldo joined Real from Premier League champions United in 2009 for a then-world record transfer fee of £80m.
He has scored 203 goals in 203 games for Los Blancos, helping them win La Liga in 2011-12 and two domestic cups.
The Madeira-born star was also voted as the world's second best player, behind Barcelona's Lionel Messi, in 2011 and 2012.
But questions were raised about the ex-Sporting Lisbon youngster's future as Real planned their 100m euros (£85.3m) summer move for Tottenham forward Gareth Bale.
As well as a return to Old Trafford, he was also linked with a switch to big-spending French club Monaco.
"I respect all the clubs who ask about me," he said. "But they always know that my decision, that my only goal, is to be here and to play at this club until, maybe, the end of my career.
"I'll be here five more years. I just want to win trophies for this club."
Real president Florentino Perez, who sat alongside Ronaldo in a media conference on Sunday, labelled the new deal as "a great day" for the nine-time European champions.
"We have made the dream of all Madridistas," said Perez. "Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid will remain forever."
Ronaldo was replaced as the planet's most expensive player when Welshman Bale, 24, completed his switch earlier this month.
The pair both started as Real drew 2-2 at Villarreal in Bale's first appearance for last season's league runners-up.
Bale levelled after Villarreal's opener and Ronaldo put the visitors ahead before home forward Giovani Dos Santos equalised.
The shooting happened on Hewitt Avenue in Sunderland at 20:40 BST on Wednesday.
A 39-year-old man and a 16-year-old male have been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
Northumbria Police said it believed it was an isolated incident, with no risk to the wider public.
The 32-year-old is now being questioned at a central London police station.
Police said the arrest was not linked to that of another man, aged 30, in Somerset, also by officers from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command.
That individual - a member of the armed forces - is being held on suspicion of Northern Ireland-related terrorism.
The 32-year-old was detained on Wednesday morning under Section 5 of The Terrorism Act 2006.
Fifth-placed Scarlets are trying to overtake Ulster in fourth and claim a place in the end of season play-offs.
Ulster are at Ospreys - who need to overtake Munster to snatch sixth-place and Champions Cup qualification.
Scarlets play Munster in Thomond Park where a win will do themselves and Ospreys a favour.
With so much at stake and their results likely to have a major bearing on the other Welsh region's hopes, there's more than usual interest in the rivals' matches.
Here's a rough guide to the issues and permutations.
Beat Munster, and stop them getting two bonus points.
In that scenario, a win for the Ospreys will clinch sixth place and the coveted spot in the European Champions' Cup next season.
If Munster manage a losing bonus point, Ospreys will need to win with a bonus point against Ulster.
A losing bonus point and four tries for Munster and Ospreys will be facing their first season as spectators to European rugby's top tournament.
Stop Ulster matching what whatever Scarlets do in Munster.
Scarlets need to get one more point from this weekend's matches than their Irish rivals, and an Ospreys win would go a long way fulfilling their side of this unwritten bargain.
An Ulster win would mean Scarlets needing a bonus point win in Munster - a tall order by any measure.
If Ulster win with a bonus point, then Scarlets' season is over - and Ospreys will be reflecting on a season of under-achievement compared with the standards they have set in the past.
Ospreys forward James King: "Obviously we'll be supporting the Scarlets. We need to go for five points and hope that Scarlets don't let Munster have anything really, but that's a big ask at Thomond Park.
"I might send a text or two later to ask them to see if they can do is a favour."
Scarlets back Gareth Owen: "It would be nice for them to do us a favour wouldn't it?
"I don't know if they think they owe us a favour or not, but the Ospreys have something to play for.
"I haven't spoken to any of the players yet - they'd probably tell me where to go, I guess."
Ospreys backs coach Gruff Rees: "Yes, they would be doing us a favour if they beat Munster and vice versa, ironically enough.
"We have to have one eye on Thomond Park - if Scarlets can pick up that extra point on them regardless of winning, then Ulster may have to chase some tries as well so the dynamic may have to change during the game.
Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac: "I'll have a laptop set-up next to me with all scores on it - they'll be streamed as it's happening so we'll know exactly what the equation is so if we need to change our tactics we'll have the ability during the game."
The current ban was due to end on 25 May.
The firm said it had taken the decision because the UK government's advice not to travel to the resort remained unchanged.
Flights were suspended in November 2015 after a Russian passenger plane crashed killing 224 people.
So-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for bombing the jet.
Thomas Cook had been selling holidays after 25 May, assuming that it would be able to fly to the region.
But it has confirmed that the advice from the Foreign & Commonwealth office (FCO) remains unchanged, and therefore it is extending its own ban.
The FCO advice is not to travel to Sharm el-Sheikh unless it is absolutely essential. That advice has implications not just for tour operators but for travel insurance too.
Thomas Cook said that as there was "no clear indication as to when the FCO travel advice may change", it had taken the decision to cancel all bookings to Sharm el Sheikh up to and including Monday 31 October 2016.
A spokesman for the company said customers who have booked to travel to the region can either cancel or book alternative holidays. | Chairman Steven Thompson has every right to lambast the underperforming players at Dundee United, says former Tannadice defender Mark Wilson.

Chay Roberts-Jones, of Preston Street, Exeter, was accused of three counts of sexual assault, which he denied at Exeter Crown Court.
The 29-year-old was cleared of sexually assaulting two other girls and will be sentenced in March.
He was suspended from Blundells School, in Devon, over the allegations.
A police inquiry was launched after an 18-year-old girl reported he had run his hands over her thighs, lifted her top and tried to pull down her jeans.
The girl said Roberts-Jones had kissed her neck and tried to kiss her on the lips.
Two other girls, aged 16 and 18, came forward and alleged he groped them, but the jury cleared him of these offences.
He had been a teacher at Blundells for five years and taught physics as well as coaching a number of sports.
Roberts-Jones married his fiancée shortly after he was suspended and now lives in France where he teaches adults.
Recorder Mr Philip Mott ordered him to sign on the sex offenders' register and surrender his passport pending sentencing in March.
The 19-year-old son of Rovers boss Mark Cooper has made three starts in five appearances in all competitions since originally signing on 9 December.
That was just four days before ex-Birmingham boss Gary Rowett was sacked.
But Rowett's successor Gianfranco Zola has allowed Cooper to remain in Gloucestershire to see out the season.
Cooper also had a month on loan in Nailsworth last season, before moving earlier this season to York City, where he made five starts.
Forest Green also have defender Aarran Racine and forward Rhys Murphy back at the club from their joint loan at York.
Both scored once in their month at Bootham Crescent, Racine making five starts, while Murphy made six appearances.
Stephen Sutton, 19, from Burntwood, in Staffordshire, was diagnosed with bowel cancer aged 15 and started raising funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
On Tuesday, he posted on Facebook: "It's a final thumbs up from me! I think this is just one hurdle too far."
Reacting to news that the total had passed £1m, Stephen tweeted "thank you all so much".
"The whole situation is just breathtaking in many ways!!" he added.
Dozens of people responded with their congratulations, including one who described Stephen as a "true inspiration", while another said he had "changed thousands of people's lives".
A day earlier he told his thousands of friends and followers on Facebook that it would be his last post and any further updates would be from family members.
He wrote: "It's a shame the end has come so suddenly. There's so many people I haven't got round to properly thank or say goodbye to. Apologies for that.
"I will continue fighting for as long as I can, and whatever happens next I want you all to know I am currently in a good place mentally and at ease with the situation.
"That's it from me. But life has been good. Very good."
Tuesday's messages prompted people to pledge more than £250,000 overnight with a further £200,000 coming in on Wednesday morning.
Comedian Jason Manford was among a number of celebrities who supported Stephen's fundraising over recent months.
He described the 19-year-old as "inspirational".
"He told me it was terminal [cancer]. You would think he would be depressed by it," Mr Manford said.
"He's not bitter about leaving the party early, he's just happy that he was invited to the party at all.
"At the age of 19 he's done more in the past few years than some people do in a lifetime."
Stephen used a bucket list featuring things he wanted to accomplish before he died to help raise funds and give other people the motivation to "enjoy life".
It included playing the drums in front of 90,000 people, hugging an elephant and getting a tattoo.
Central defender Christian Burgess, 25, tweeted he was at a loose end and did not know what to do with his day.
Will Chitty, under-12s coach for Skilful Soccer Youth, replied and suggested he helped with training.
Burgess answered and turned up to run a session for the team, before answering questions and posing for pictures.
"When I tweeted Christian, I didn't think anything would come of it," Chitty, coach of Skilful Soccer Youth in Portsmouth, told BBC Radio Solent.
"I hadn't seen his initial reply that he was actually coming as I'd started the training session. Then about 30 minutes in, I was genuinely surprised to see he was there on the touchline asking for me.
"We had a quick chat and I asked if he could run something similar to what they do at Portsmouth.
"The lads absolutely loved it and started asking him questions like 'do you earn £50m and who's your favourite player?
"He was there for about an hour in all. He put on a session, watched them play a game and then stayed to pose for some pictures after."
Former Middlesbrough trainee Burgess has been with Portsmouth since July 2015 after moving from Peterborough.
The area around the Houses of Parliament was closed off after the incident to keep people safe, and many people were told to stay in their buildings until the police said it was safe for them to go home.
Five people were killed in what the police have described as a terrorist attack.
They include a police officer who was stabbed outside Parliament and a woman who was hit by a car on Westminster Bridge. The attacker was shot dead by armed police.
The head of counter terrorism at the Metropolitan Police, Mark Rowley, said they think they know who the attacker was but the police have not given any more details yet.
The BBC's Security Correspondent Frank Gardner told Newsround: "This is the most serious terrorist attack on London since the 7/7 bombings in 2005."
"The police reacted extremely quickly, ending this attack before any more people were hurt. A friend of mine actually gave first aid to the stabbed policeman before the helicopter arrived."
"This is very rare, although the Government has been warning for some time to expect something like this. The chances of any of you, as an individual, getting caught up in a terrorist attack are microscopically small."

Final details of the packages offered will be announced in June, but a court had given VW and regulators until Thursday to reach a deal in principle.
Last year, US regulators discovered that VW cars were fitted with software that could distort emissions tests.
The German giant subsequently said 11 million cars worldwide were affected.
Details of the preliminary agreement were announced in a California court. US district court Judge Charles Breyer said the settlement would include a buyback offer for nearly 500,000 2.0-litre vehicles.
He did not give details of how much car owners would offered in compensation, but said the deal between Volkswagen, the US government and private lawyers would be "substantial".
Judge Breyer said VW would also pay into an environmental fund and commit other money to promote green car technology.
Volkswagen told its shareholders last year it had set aside $7.3bn to help defray the potential costs of a recall or regulatory penalties, but that figure could rise. The company faces as much as $20bn in fines for Clean Air Act violations alone.
Peugeot raided by emissions investigators
US sues Volkswagen over diesel car ads
VW boss warns US deal could cost more
Analyst Marc-Rene Tonn, at Warburg Research, estimated the direct financial impact on Volkswagen from the emissions scandal worldwide was $32.3bn.
The US settlement could influence what happens in Europe and in other countries, Mr Tonn said. "Very generous payments to US customers may add to some greediness here, too."
Volkswagen installed software in the diesel engines to detect when they were being tested and cheat the results. Some models could have been pumping out up to 40 times the legal limit of the pollutant, nitrogen oxide, regulators disclosed.
"Volkswagen is committed to winning back the trust of its customers, its dealers, its regulators and all of America," said VW lawyer Robert Giuffra. The agreements are "an important step forward on the road to making things right," he added.
The firm said in a statement that it "intends to compensate its customers fully and to remediate any impact on the environment from excess diesel emissions".
It said a deal in principle had been reached with the Justice Department, the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board.
It added that it had "reached an agreement on the basic features of a settlement with the class action plaintiffs in the lawsuit in San Francisco. This agreement will be incorporated into a comprehensive settlement in the coming weeks".
The deal announced on Thursday covers mostly 2-litre vehicles. Judge Breyer said he expects an agreement between VW and regulators covering about 90,000 larger vehicles and SUVs to be addressed "expeditiously".
In a US newspaper opinion piece, Prof Richard Muller says: "Call me a converted sceptic."
Muller leads the
Berkeley Earth Project
, which is using new methods and some new data to investigate the claims made by other climate researchers.
Their latest study confirms the warming trend seen by other groups.
The project received funds from sources that back organisations lobbying against action on climate change.
Their
latest study, released early on Monday (GMT)
, concludes that the average temperature of the Earth's land has risen by 1.5C (2.7F) over the past 250 years.
The team argues that the good correspondence between the new temperature record and historical data on CO2 emissions suggests human activity is "the most straightforward explanation" for the warming.
The paper reiterates the finding that the land surface temperature has risen 0.9C just in the last 50 years.
In a piece
authored for the New York Times
, Prof Muller, from the University of California, Berkeley, said: "Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming.
"Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I'm now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause."
When establishing the project, Prof Muller had been concerned by claims that established teams of climate researchers had not been entirely open with their data.
He gathered a team of 10 scientists, mostly physicists, including such luminaries as Saul Perlmutter, winner of this year's Nobel Physics Prize for research showing the Universe's expansion is accelerating.
Funding came from a number of sources, including charitable foundations maintained by the Koch brothers, billionaire US industrialists who have also donated large sums to organisations lobbying against acceptance of man-made global warming.
However, one collaborator on the previous tranche of Berkeley Earth project papers,
Judith Curry of the Georgia Institute of Technology
, declined to be included as an author on the latest one.
Commenting on the paper, Prof Curry said: "Their latest paper on the 250-year record concludes that the best explanation for the observed warming is greenhouse gas emissions. Their analysis is way oversimplistic and not at all convincing in my opinion."
She also told the New York Times: "I was invited to be a co-author on the new paper. I declined. I gave them my review of the paper, which was highly critical. I don't think this new paper adds anything to our understanding of attribution of the warming."
The Berkeley Earth project studies have not yet been published in peer reviewed scientific journals, but the team has submitted them to the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.
Prof Michael Mann, director of the Earth Science System Center at Penn State University, said that there was "a certain ironic satisfaction" in seeing a study funded by the Koch Brothers "demonstrate what scientists have known with some degree of confidence for nearly two decades: that the globe is indeed warming, and that this warming can only be explained by human-caused increases in greenhouse gas concentrations".
Prof Muller, meanwhile, describes his own change in standpoint as "a total turnaround".
He explained: "These findings are stronger than those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], the United Nations group that defines the scientific and diplomatic consensus on global warming."
The University of California physics professor added: "I hope that the Berkeley Earth analysis will help settle the scientific debate regarding global warming and its human causes.
"Then comes the difficult part: agreeing across the political and diplomatic spectrum about what can and should be done."
Sceptical blogger Anthony Watts criticised elements of the team's findings, releasing details of his
own analysis
which claims to show "spurious doubling" in US temperature trends over recent decades.
The singer from The Saturdays said she was "so excited" to be a contestant in the dancing competition.
She told Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1's breakfast show she always watched the show with her family and added that she "can't wait to get into the sequins".
The new series starts on BBC One next month.
King said: "I'm a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing so I can't actually believe I'm lucky enough to be taking part in it this year! I'm literally so excited to learn Latin and ballroom dancing, and of course I can't wait to get into the sequins too!
"It's going to be a lot of hard work but I'm ready for the challenge."
The 30-year-old told Grimmie it had been tough to keep news of her involvement a secret.
She had previously only told her parents and bandmate Frankie Bridge, who made it to the final of Strictly three years ago.
King said: "It's something that I always said I wanted to do. I've always watched it with my family and it looks so fun.
"I'm going to be giving it my all. I'm very competitive so watch out, other contestants, I'm taking you down!"
She added that she would be up for having a "cheeky spray tan" and wearing sparkles, saying it was a chance to be a "princess".
King said she was starting training soon - and that she hoped she would not be voted out in the first week.
She also said she was a huge Britney Spears fan and would love to dance to her music on the show.
This year's contestants have all been given code names relating to classical Greece, with King's being Clio, one of the nine muses.
The European Commission has given Glybera marketing authorisation, meaning it can be sold throughout the EU.
It is a gene therapy for a rare disease which leaves people unable to properly digest fats.
The manufacturers say it will be available next year.
Gene therapy has a simple premise. If there is a problem with part of a patient's genetic code then change the code.
However, the field has been plagued with problems. Patients have developed leukaemia and in one trial in the US a teenager died.
In Europe and the US, the therapies are used only in research labs.
Glybera is used to treat lipoprotein lipase deficiency. One in a million people have damaged copies of a gene which is essential for breaking down fats.
It means fat builds up in the blood leading to abdominal pain and life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
The only way to manage the condition is by having a very low-fat diet.
The therapy, developed by UniQure, uses a virus to infect muscle cells with a working copy of the gene.
The European Medicines Agency recommended the therapy was made available for the most severely ill patients earlier in 2012.
UniQure chief executive officer Jorn Aldag said: "The final approval of Glybera from the European Commission marks a major step forward in making gene therapies available not only for lipoprotein lipase deficiency, but also for a large number of rare diseases with a very high unmet medical need."
The company said it would apply for regulatory approval in the US and Canada.
China was the first country to officially sanction a gene therapy.
The programme, filmed in Ceredigion, is shot in English and Welsh and called Y Gwyll for the bilingual version.
It features Richard Harrington playing Det Ch Insp Tom Mathias.
Filming in and around Aberystwyth for the new series starts in January, with the Welsh version being screened on S4C next autumn and English on BBC Wales in early 2017.
The five-day wedding of businessman and ex-state minister G Janardhana Reddy's daughter, Brahmani, is estimated to cost about 5bn rupees ($74m; £59m).
But with gold-plated invitations and Bollywood stars expected to perform, the nuptials have proved controversial.
Critics have described it as an "obscene display of wealth".
The wedding kicked off just days after the Indian government announced it would scrap 500 and 1,000 rupee notes in a crackdown on undeclared wealth, making redundant the vast majority of cash that Indians use on a daily basis. Millions of Indians have been standing in queues in an effort to deposit or exchange the old currency and frustration is widespread.
Source: Indian media reports
Weddings in India are no exception to India's largely cash-based economy and many payments for wedding services are typically made in cash.
Mr Reddy was quoted as saying that he had mortgaged properties in Bangalore and Singapore to raise money for the wedding and that all payments were made six months ago when the planning started.
It hasn't stopped Indians taking to social media to ridicule the expensive wedding. His political opponents meanwhile have used it to speculate if the prime minister's drive against illegal "black money" would include elites.
A former member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Karnataka state, Mr Reddy recently spent three years in jail on corruption charges, which he denies, and was freed on bail last year.
Preparations at the Bangalore Palace, the sprawling venue, began months in advance and reports said eight Bollywood directors were called on to create sets resembling ancient Hindu temples where the ceremonies would be conducted.
Luxury bullock carts will ferry guests from the palace gates and they will be fed at a village that has been created inside the grounds specifically for the purpose.
This wedding may have been expensive, but it is far from being alone. Here are just a few of the world's most expensive weddings.
They include a new Super 8 round-robin format for the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals, meaning more games and opposed by both player bodies.
Extra-time will be played in Championship games with the exception of provincial and All-Ireland finals.
All-Ireland finals will be moved from traditional September dates to August.
Another change to the GAA rulebook will see a reduction in the size of the voting majority required to change a rule from the traditional two-thirds to 60% at future congresses.
Croke Park's top brass mounted a high-profile campaign in support of the championship changes and all three votes comfortably exceeded the necessary two-thirds majority.
The Super 8 proposal got 76% support, with the All-Ireland final dates motions backed by 78% of delegates and the end-to-replays proposal receiving overwhelming 91% support.
Gaelic Players Association chief executive Dermot Earley was a vocal speaker against the proposal to introduce the new round-robin format for the All-Ireland Football quarter-finals.
Ostensibly, the reason for the raft of championship changes was to ensure more games for the ordinary club player but the decision to have a round-robin stage in the All-Ireland Football Championships appears to contradict this.
"The Super 8s will do nothing to help weaker counties, do nothing to close the gap between haves and have-nots," said Earley.
"It will reduce the likelihood of unexpected results in knock-out games and reduce the incentive for winning a provincial title."
Cork were also against the Super 8 plan but the majority of the speakers, including former Armagh star Jarlath Burns, spoke strongly in favour of the proposal, which in the final analysis, will lead to more big championship games and additional revenue for the GAA.
Cork chairman Frank Murphy also spoke out strongly against the motion to move the All-Ireland Senior Football and Hurling finals forward but again Croke Park's top brass got their way.
This decision means that All-Ireland Hurling Final is likely to be played on 13 August next year with the football decider on 27 August.
Former Donegal defender Eamon McGee and ex-Tyrone player Philip Jordan were among several prominent GAA players to strongly criticise the decision to introduce the round-robin format for the All-Ireland Football quarter-finals.
McGee said that the "level of disrespect shown to both club and county GAA players today is staggering".
Jordan added the Congress decision was "depressing".
In terms of other motions, a proposal to recognise the recently-formed club players body was withdrawn.
The portfolio will be modelled on the UK Home Office.
The Home Affairs ministry, to be headed by current Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, will manage security agencies including police and intelligence.
Mr Turnbull described it as the most significant reform of national security arrangements "in more than 40 years".
"The new portfolio will be similar to the United Kingdom's Home Office arrangement, a federation, if you will, of border and security agencies," he told reporters on Tuesday.
"Let me be quite clear, this is not a United States-style Department of Homeland Security."
In explaining the distinction, Mr Turnbull said each agency will "retain their current statutory independence".
The portfolio will oversee major agencies including the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Australian Border Force.
It will also include:
Mr Turnbull said the new ministry will allow Australia to better respond to future security threats.
"We cannot take an 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach to security arrangements," he said.
"Not least because our adversaries are agile and nimble, constantly adapting and evolving to defeat our defences. We need more enduring and better integrated arrangements."
He said he expects the ministry overhaul will be completed by July next year.
On Monday, Mr Turnbull announced the Australian military would be given broad new powers to respond to domestic terrorist attacks.
Jones is also a former director of rugby at Pontypridd and has worked with college and youth sides in the Rhondda.
His appointment comes as part of a reshuffle following the departure of Blues' rugby general manager Billy Millard.
Cardiff Blues chief executive Richard Holland says the academy system has to "maximise the potential from within".
"Due to the ongoing financial challenges the business faces, we must put all our efforts into developing from within if we want to be competitive in the future," Holland told the Blues' website.
"This fits into the Welsh Rugby Union's strategy and there will be further investment into our realigned academy system to ensure we maximise the potential from within."
Jones has led the development of the Coleg y Cymoedd rugby academy, which has produced 34 age-grade internationals in its six-year existence.
He rose to prominence along with brother Chris in the 1990's, when they steered Treorchy Zebras to third place in the top flight of Welsh club rugby and later qualification for European rugby.
The savings would come in part from allowing biomass to be eligible for future subsidies.
The company has converted around half its huge North Yorkshire coal power plant to run on biomass and is concerned about future subsidies.
The government says it is already supporting the biomass industry.
To encourage low carbon power generation, technologies like wind, solar power or biomass are subsidised.
We pay for these green subsidies through our energy bills.
But a new analysis for Drax, by NERA Economic Consulting and Imperial College, found that solar and wind power have other hidden costs, including requiring back-up power generation
It argues that when these hidden costs, or whole system costs, are taken into account, converting coal plants to run on biomass is the most cost-effective renewable generation available at scale.
"Intermittent renewables like wind and solar are vital... but they need to be backed up by a constant supply of electricity that can be flexed up and down," said Dorothy Thompson, chief executive of Drax.
"Opening up energy auctions to include other renewables could save consumers £2bn and with more biomass in the mix energy security is also boosted" she added.
The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is currently examining the issue of "whole system costs" of different energy technologies.
Responding to a parliamentary question, the Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom said that DECC hoped to complete the work in the first half of 2016.
"Once this project is completed DECC will be able to better quantify system costs to inform policy decisions," she said.
"Any future policy development, such as future renewable support, will be informed by the improved evidence base developed through this project".
But the renewables industry insists that wind and solar power help keep prices low for consumers. And it's sceptical of claims that hidden costs add significant sums to our bills.
"The additional costs of having variable generation on the system are low and for the most part renewable generators already pay these costs," said Renewable UK's director of policy, Dr Gordon Edge.
"If we're going to talk about system costs, then we also need to talk about the undoubted economic benefits that wind generators also bring," he added.
The government is planning three auctions for green subsidies in this parliament.
The first, due later this year, will allow "less established technologies" including offshore wind, wave and tidal stream to compete for contracts.
The technology used by Drax, which involves converting coal plants to burn wood pellets, is not eligible to take part in this auction, although other biomass projects are.
The company is currently awaiting EU state-aid approval for a previous government subsidy contract to convert a third unit at its North Yorkshire plant to run on biomass.
In a statement a DECC spokesman said: "We are already supporting over 5GW of biomass technologies, providing nearly a quarter of our renewable electricity generation.
"We are ensuring a sensible level of support so that we safeguard value for money - keeping bills as low as possible for hardworking families and businesses."

The 20-year-old "will join the club on a two year loan period with obligation to buy" a statement from the club said.
The club's website describes him as " a very physical player with good technique, good pace and stamina, capable of playing in different roles."
He played 29 times for Atalanta last season scoring six goals to help them finish fourth in Serie A.
Kessie has played for Ivory Coast at all levels from under-17 to the senior team and was part of the Elephants squad at the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon this year.
The body of Gediminas Stauskas, who was 32 and originally from Lithuania, was found in a garage near Coalisland on 15 October.
A 27-year-old man was arrested in Dungannon and a 41-year-old in Coalisland on Monday morning.
Last week, a 34-year-old man was remanded in custody charged with the murder of Mr Stauskas.
Adam Hird, 30, from Epping, died from asphyxia at the entrance of the No.65 bar in Vauxhall in south London on 15 June 2014.
Mark Pantallaresco, 51, Sebastiano Ragusa, 31, and Lewis Thorne, 22, were all cleared of manslaughter by gross negligence at the Old Bailey.
The three doormen had all denied the charges against them.
Mr Pantallaresco, from Tadworth, Surrey, Mr Ragusa, from Lewisham, south London, and Mr Thorne, from Wickford, Essex, were accused of pinning Mr Hird down for "an extremely dangerous" amount of time.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson QC told jurors the men had only released Mr Hird after he realised he was unconscious.
Mr Hird had battled with depression for many years and had been at a social event for fellow patients at the nearby Riverside restaurant.
The 30-year-old was taken to hospital after he passed out but he later died.
Pickford, who is currently on duty with England Under-21s before the European Championship, is expected to have a medical and complete the formalities of the deal when he returns.
The 23-year-old will become the most expensive British keeper if he completes the move.
Pickford made 29 top-flight appearances last season but could not prevent Sunderland being relegated.

Mr Brown's father told NBC news his son's character had been "crucified". Separately, Mr Brown's mother said Mr Wilson had been "disrespectful".
Mr Wilson, who shot dead Mr Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August, has told US media he has a "clean conscience".
There were protests over the ruling in 13 US cities on Tuesday night.
In Ferguson, there was some unrest as protesters scuffled with police, and a police car outside the town hall was set alight.
However, police said security was "much better" than Monday, when there was widespread rioting and looting, and more than a dozen buildings were set alight.
About 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed in the city on Tuesday night, up from 700 on Monday. Forty-four people were arrested.
Missouri governor Jay Nixon said the "ramped up presence" of the National Guard had been "helpful", and that he would monitor the situation to see if more resources were needed.
Rallies in the area continued on Wednesday, as at least 200 protesters gathered outside St Louis City Hall, holding a mock trial for Mr Wilson.
Some demonstrators stormed the hall, shouting "shame, shame", and forcing police to lockdown the building, AP news agency reported. Two people were reportedly arrested.
Anger at the ruling has spread to cities across the US.
Protests were reported on Tuesday night in 12 cities, in addition to Ferguson: Philadelphia, Seattle, Albuquerque, New York, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Oakland, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Portland, Chicago and Boston.
Those demonstrations were mostly peaceful, but rioting broke out in Oakland, California, where protesters started a street fire.
In Los Angeles, 130 protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct, the LA Times reported.
Police also arrested several demonstrators in Boston, Atlanta and New York, Reuters said.
Michael Brown was shot by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, on 9 August, sparking protests.
Speaking out after the verdict on Monday, Mr Wilson told US broadcaster ABC that he had a "clean conscience".
He said that before the shooting, Mr Brown had pushed him back into his car, hit him and grabbed at his drawn gun, and said that he felt "like a five-year-old holding on to [US wrestler] Hulk Hogan".
On Wednesday, Mr Brown's parents said that they did not believe Mr Wilson's account of events.
Mr Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, told NBC that Mr Wilson's remarks added "insult after injury" and were "disrespectful".
In a separate interview with CBS, she added: "I don't believe a word of it. I know my son far too well... Our son doesn't have a history of violence."
Meanwhile, Mr Brown's father, Michael Brown Sr, said that he felt "hurt" and "crushed" following the verdict.
He said that "terrible" things had been said about his son, and prosecutors had "crucified his character".
He also urged protesters to avoid violence, saying: "My son was a good guy, a quiet guy. So in his name, I want to keep it on a positive note."
Mr Brown's supporters said he was attempting to surrender to Mr Wilson when he was shot.
However, the state prosecutor said physical evidence had contradicted some of the witness statements.
Many in Ferguson's predominantly African-American community had called for Mr Wilson to be charged with murder, but the grand jury - of nine white and three black members - decided not to charge him.
The decision means Mr Wilson will not face state criminal charges over the shooting. However, the US Justice Department has also launched a federal investigation into whether Mr Wilson violated Mr Brown's civil rights.
Speaking from Chicago on Tuesday, President Barack Obama said there was "no excuse" for destructive behaviour and criminal acts of rioting.
However, he added that "many communities of colour" had a sense that laws were not being enforced "uniformly or fairly", and said he had ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to look at what steps could be taken to build trust.
The 33-year-old has made 78 appearances for the Baggies since joining from Hull City in 2010.
The former Wales international made 23 Premier League appearances last season after first-choice keeper Ben Foster was sidelined with a knee injury.
"Boaz is a great professional and he provides good competition for Ben," said West Brom head coach Tony Pulis.
The decision came at an emergency meeting on the issue, following days of large street protests.
One of those behind the move said it was to restore calm in Romania, but also strongly criticised the judiciary.
Protesters have vowed to keep the pressure on the cabinet, with some demanding the entire government quits.
"I hope that this is a real repeal... We are going to keep an eye on them to make sure we are not being had," one protester, Daniel, told the news agency AFP.
The decree was passed on Tuesday and was due to come into effect on 10 February.
The protests have been the country's largest since the fall of communism in 1989.
Calin Tariceanu, leader of the Senate and a former prime minister, told the BBC the decree was well-intentioned, but had to be withdrawn to re-establish calm in the country.
He also strongly criticised the judiciary, saying he did not consider it to be independent.
"This is a clear issue which has to be addressed in future," he said.
The decision to back down was made on Saturday by Liviu Dragnea, leader of the governing Social Democratic Party, at the suggestion of Calin Tariceanu, leader of the junior coalition partners, the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats.
Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu approved and then announced the decision.
The justice ministry has been instructed to draft a new law to tackle the issues raised by the original decree, and to initiate a wide public debate.
The government will have to steer a careful line between provoking more protests, and losing as little face as possible among the four million people who voted for them in the December elections.
Strategic retreat or surrender for government?
A planned conference to announce the repeal was cancelled, with sources saying an official statement would be released soon.
The decree would have decriminalised abuse of power offences where sums of less than €44,000 (£38,000; $47,500) were involved.
The constitutional court has still to rule, later this week, on the legality of the original decree.
One immediate beneficiary would have been Liviu Dragnea, head of the governing Social Democrats (PSD), who faces charges of defrauding the state of €24,000.
The government had earlier argued that the changes were needed to reduce prison overcrowding and align certain laws with the constitution.
But critics saw it as a way for the PSD to absolve officials convicted or accused of corruption.
The prosecution offered no evidence in the case against two senior republicans, Sean Hughes and Padraic Wilson.
No reason was given by the prosecution barrister in court, but it is understood a number of key prosecution witnesses have withdrawn their evidence.
The judge duly acquitted both men.
Mr Hughes and Mr Wilson were facing charges including IRA membership and addressing meetings to encourage support for the IRA.
The charges dated back to 2005.
Mr Corbyn said the PM should have focused on issues like cyber crime, fair trade and the refugee crisis.
And he claimed the "influence of Tory Party funders" could be seen in protections for the City of London.
The PM told MPs leaving the European Union "could hurt working people for years to come".
Responding to Mr Cameron's Commons statement on the reform deal that has triggered the UK's EU referendum on June 23, Mr Corbyn said Labour was "overwhelmingly for staying in".
EU membership brought jobs and investment, he said.
Turning to the reform package, The Labour leader backed a so-called "red card system" allowing national Parliaments to club together and veto EU law, saying this had previously been proposed by his party.
But he said the majority of the PM's negotiations had not been about the future of Europe.
Highlighting what he said were "serious, pressing issues" that Mr Cameron should have focused on, he said welfare reforms should have addressed low pay in the UK, the undercutting of wages and the "grotesque" exploitation of migrant workers.
The prime minister said he disagreed with Mr Corbyn "on many things" but said they agreed that Britain should be part of Europe.
His draft deal, he said, implemented "almost every single pledge" on Europe that had been in Labour's general election manifesto.
John Kitchin, a visual ecologist, was filming the bears on a bridge in Knight Inlet in British Columbia, Canada.
While he was interviewing a bear biologist on a platform below the bridge, a female grizzly spotted his camera and took it.
Mr Kitchin said as soon as she smelt the camera she made a "beeline for it".
The up-close and personal encounter with the bear shows her stealing and chewing the camera, as well as capturing shots of other bears on the bridge.
Mr Kitchin said: "A young female grizzly was being very curious, chewing on the bridge, peering over at us, while her mother and sibling were on the other side of the bridge watching some other bears in the river below.
"But as soon as she smelled the camera she made a beeline for it. She actually dropped it but came straight back and then took it to the other side of the bridge to have a little chew on it.
"The point of view is just incredible: her roving eye, the dexterity of her nose, her family peering to see what she has… and her claws, legs and fur as she walks along. The footage is the closest I've ever been to a grizzly bear."
Vice-Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang made "solemn representations" with Kaye Lee, the US charge d'affaires, China's foreign ministry said.
The arms deal, worth $1.83bn (£1.22bn), comes as tensions rise over China's island-building in the South China Sea.
Taiwan expressed gratitude to Washington for helping with its defence needs.
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province which will one day be reunited with the mainland, though relations have warmed in recent weeks.
Leaders from both countries met last month for the first time since the end of the civil war in 1949.
China maintains a right to use force if Taiwan attempts to gain independence.
The Chinese statement said Mr Zheng had told Ms Lee at the Wednesday meeting that Taiwan "is an inalienable part of China's territory" and that it "strongly opposes the US arms sale".
It added that the deal had "severely damaged China's sovereignty and security interest", and pledged to sanction the US firms involved in it.
The US said the deal, the first in four years, was consistent with its "long-standing policy on arms sales to Taiwan".
Relations between the US and China are frayed over China's construction of artificial islands in the disputed South China Sea.
Two decommissioned US Navy frigates, anti-tank missiles, amphibious assault vehicles, as well as surface-to-air missiles and other equipment are all included in the deal.
It will be approved in 30 days, unless Congress objects. That is thought unlikely, as there has been growing concern in the US about Taiwan's ability to defend itself from China's military might.
State department spokesman John Kirby said the sale was consistent with the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which requires the US to provide Taiwan with sufficient weaponry to defend itself, even though the US does not recognise Taiwan as a state independent of China.
The move did not need to have a negative effect on US-Chinese relations, he said, adding:"We still want to work to establish a better, more transparent, more effective relationship with China in the region."
Francisco Jose Santana, a married father of five and park ranger, died while trying to extinguish the blaze.
Police have arrested a 27-year-old German man who admitted having started the fire accidentally.
Spanish media reports say the man had been burning used toilet paper.
About 200 firefighters and emergency service workers are trying to put out the fire, AP news agency reported regional government officials as saying.
The island's last major fire was in 2009, when 4,000 people had to be evacuated.
Josh Clayton's body was found on rocks in the Isles of Scilly after he went missing from a party in September 2015.
An inquest into the 23-year-old's death was halted earlier this month after new evidence emerged of a row at the party.
The Devon and Cornwall Police investigation will be reviewed by Dorset officers.
Mr Clayton's mother, Tracey Clayton, said she is pleased concerns are "being taken seriously".
For more on the Josh Clayton story, and other news
Devon and Cornwall Police will also launch a new investigation into the death.
Ms Clayton said: "None of what they were saying ever made any sense to me.
"As a mother you know instinctively that something is not right, and to be patronised with people saying that every mother feels like that, it's disgusting really.
"I haven't got much faith or trust, but that will hopefully be restored. Hopefully we can finally get some answers."
The body of Mr Clayton, from Taunton, was found on rocks near Tresco on 23 September 2015, 10 days after he went missing from the party on the privately-owned island.
Devon and Cornwall Police said evidence had come to light at the inquest which "had not been made available" to the police inquiry.
A statement said: "A new investigation will now take place looking at any information which may be relevant to the investigation into Josh's death.
"Alongside this will be a review from Dorset Police looking at the previous investigation and identifying any learning which could be gained as a result."
The force said the Clayton family had met a senior detective and will continue to be kept fully informed of any developments.
The 32-year-old coolly tucked away the spot-kick after Jack O'Connell's handball in a thrilling climax. Shaun Williams and Stefan Scougall had traded first-half goals.
Lions boss Neil Harris made two changes to the side thumped 5-1 at Peterborough, with Williams and David Worrall replacing Shane Ferguson and Jimmy Abdou.
The visitors named Paul Coutts in their starting line-up and were quickest out of the blocks with Mark Duffy's cross narrowly eluding Leon Clarke.
But Williams fired the hosts in front on 14 minutes, beating Simon Moore with a low drive after Worrall's corner was not cleared.
United hit back just seven minutes later as Jordan Archer failed to keep out Scougall's tame shot. Lee Gregory wasted a great chance to restore the lead after the break, the striker raced clear on goal but was denied by Moore's outstretched left hand.
Gregory's miss did not prove decisive though, as Morison kept his cool to send Moore the wrong way from the spot and earn the Lions a dramatic victory.
Report supplied by the Press Association.
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield:
"It's disappointing for everyone at the football club. One point from four games isn't good enough.
"We started well and went behind against the run of play, and showed great steel to get back in the game and dominated the first half.
"But when you're on top, you have to put teams to bed and that's been the downfall for us.
"I've let the players think about their own performances, think about what's happened over the last four games and make a more sensible appraisal on Monday.
"If you've been involved with this club and you feel a lot about the club, as I do, you get very emotional about the start we've had and I need to take myself out of that situation and make a more considered approach on Monday because one point out of four games is not good enough and we're all hurting."

Nearly a fifth of facilities in use in England are deemed not up to scratch, according to data obtained by the BBC.
A host of major hospitals are among the worst affected along with mental health units and community hospitals.
Experts predict the situation will get worse due to cuts in building budgets.
The 2009-10 figures supplied by the Department of Health show 17% of the NHS estate which is occupied is deemed as "not functionally suitable for use".
This covers national standards for issues such as space, layout and design as well as the availability of toilets and storage space, and the suitability of office space.
To fall below the required standard, areas are deemed to need a major overhaul or complete rebuild.
Part of the problem relates to the age of buildings. Nearly a fifth of the NHS estate was built before the health service was formed in 1948 - there are even wards in buildings which date back to the 1700s.
Estate managers have also told the BBC money earmarked for building improvements has too often been diverted elsewhere.
Among the more serious problems identified are wards that are too small, poorly designed A&E units and services being spread across too wide an area.
Analysis: An out-of-date estate?
There are 33 hospitals which have 50% or more of their estate classed as not good enough, while another 109 NHS sites - mainly mental health units and community hospitals - have problems on that scale as well.
The situation has shown signs of improving in recent years - mostly thanks to the investment in new hospitals through the private finance initiative - but the scale of the problem and prospects for the future are still causing concern.
Leading children's hospitals Alder Hey in Liverpool and London's Great Ormond Street have particular problems with space on wards.
Alder Hey has some wards less than half the size of what is needed for modern health care. The trust said staff and families were forced to deal with the "cramped and inconveniently laid out wards and a lack of privacy".
Meanwhile, a wing of Great Ormond Street has single rooms that are so small staff struggle to get all the equipment they need into them, while parents are forced to sleep in armchairs at times because they are not big to accommodate beds. The trust is looking to build new facilities, but is still ??95m short in its fund-raising.
Nearly two thirds of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Middlesex is not up to scratch, the figures show. The areas include a sloping corridor which is so steep that electric vehicles are used to tow patients back on to wards after surgery.
Problems identified by other trusts include:
While the problems are making services more difficult to deliver, all the trusts the BBC talked to said patients were not put at risk. Areas which are dangerous are closed down altogether.
Plans are being drawn up to improve some of the worst buildings, but there are fears the building projects could be scuppered because of the funding situation.
Keith Sammonds, managing director of the Healthcare Facilities Consortium, which represents estates staff, said unsuitable buildings made services "more difficult to deliver and require staff to work harder".
"My concern is that the situation is only going to get worse. Capital budgets are being squeezed and there is a lack of private finance available. It is distressing. Facilities and estates staff work really hard to do the best they can with the restricted resources available to them."
Katherine Murphy, of the Patients Association, added: "This chimes with what patients tell us about them being treated in cupboards because there is not enough space and seeing heart monitors lying next to dirty linen because there is nowhere to put them. It is chaotic and disorganised and does not help the healing process."
Peter Carter, general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said some of the old-fashioned facilities were simply "not suited for care in the 21st century".
But a Department of Health spokeswoman said it expected the NHS to address the problems.
"The situation in the NHS regarding functional suitability has improved, but making further improvements through better use of existing assets will be a fundamental part of the NHS drive to improve efficiency."
The offer to Russian President Vladimir Putin was made as Moscow remained in de facto control of the strategic region.
Washington has described this as an "act of aggression" by Moscow - a claim denied by Mr Putin.
Meanwhile, Russia said it had tested an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The defence ministry said a Topol RS-12M missile had been successfully launched from Russia's Kapustin Yar test range near the Caspian Sea to the Sary Shagan range in Kazakhstan.

Growing war of words
Washington said it had been given advance notice of the missile launch, as required by bilateral arms treaties.
Tensions have been escalating over Russia's military deployment in Crimea and warnings that it could also move into eastern Ukraine to protect Russians and Russian speakers there.
The move has triggered wide condemnation across the globe.
President Obama's offer to Moscow envisaged the return of the Russian troops in Crimea back to the bases of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in the peninsula, the White House officials said.
The plan - which Mr Obama discussed with President Putin on Saturday - also calls for sending a group of international monitors to Ukraine to ensure the rights of ethnic Russians are protected.
The proposal was discussed in details in a phone conversation between President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday.
The Kremlin has so far not publicly commented on the offer.
This comes as US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov are due to meet in Paris later on Wednesday.
Both sides say they would prefer to start a dialogue to ease escalating tensions, and the meeting in France gives them a chance to try, says the BBC's diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall.

Resistance proves problem for Russia
Moscow has strongly condemned the recent change of government in Ukraine, which came after months of street protests, more than 90 deaths and the flight of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, a Russian ally.
Speaking during a visit to the Ukrainian capital Kiev on Tuesday, Mr Kerry said there was no indication at all that Russian citizens or Russian-speakers were in any danger in post-uprising Ukraine.
"It is clear that Russia has been working hard to create a pretext for being able to invade further," he said.
In one hint of progress, Ukraine's new Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said consultations had taken place between Russian and Ukrainian ministers. He described them as "quite sluggish" but "first steps".
Moscow has tightened its grip over the Crimean peninsula after troops thought to be Russian or pro-Russian began taking control of strategic points on Saturday.

Ukraine crisis timeline
Russia's trade ties with Europe
Does Russia have a case?
Troops are surrounding Ukrainian military bases and other installations, while two Ukrainian warships are reported to be blocked by a Russian ship in the port of Sevastopol.
Ukrainian TV reported on Tuesday evening that armed men had attempted to take over an anti-aircraft missile base in Yevpatoria, on the coast north of Sevastopol.
Kiev and the West have alleged Russia is mounting an invasion of Crimea, which has a majority Russian-speaking population.
Mr Obama accused Russia of "seeking through force to exert influence on a neighbouring country".
"That is not how international law is supposed to operate," he said.
But at a lengthy news conference on Tuesday, in his first public comments on the issue, Mr Putin denied the heavily armed troops were Russian. He said they were "local self-defence forces" loyal to Moscow, protecting the bases from "nationalists" and "anti-Semites".
Russia, said Mr Putin, reserved the right to act to protect Russian citizens and speakers anywhere in Ukraine.
In Crimea and in eastern Ukraine, there have been shows of support for Russian intervention.
But on Tuesday a peace rally in the eastern city of Donetsk urged Russia to stay away.
"We did not ask for help. I don't want him, Putin, to bring tanks here. I don't want them to shoot at my kids," one woman, Natalia Sytnik, told Reuters.
"Let him hear us: 'Do not defend me from anyone. No-one is attacking me'."
In other developments on Tuesday
Both the US and the EU have offered financial help to Ukraine, which is facing a growing economic crisis amid its severed ties with Moscow.
Mr Kerry took to Kiev a $1bn (£600m; 720m euros) package of energy subsidies, and told the crowds who remain in Independence Square after months of protests that President Obama "is planning more assistance".
The EU is considering paying the $2bn which Ukraine owes to Russia in gas bills, said EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger.

The Blues lost 2-0 at Old Trafford and are now just four points ahead of Tottenham at the top of the table, having led by 10 points in March.
"We didn't play a good game and United deserved to win the game," said Conte.
"They showed more desire, more ambition, more motivation. In this case the fault is of the coach."
The Italian added he had not been able to "transfer the right concentration, desire, ambition to win this game".
Spurs have put themselves into title contention with a run of seven successive league wins, while Chelsea have had two losses in their past four games.
The teams meet at Wembley on Saturday (17:15 BST) in the first of the weekend's FA Cup semi-finals.
"I have concern because we have to work together and find quickly the right ambition to win this title," said Conte.
"If someone thinks it's normal for Chelsea to win the title, we started as underdogs after 10th place last season.
"Tottenham is in good form and playing with enthusiasm. We must find the same."
Chelsea's preparation to face Jose Mourinho's side was disrupted when goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois injured his ankle during the week.
The Blues also lost full-back Marcos Alonso just minutes before kick-off because of illness.
Conte was asked about reports Belgium international Courtois was injured while playing basketball at a promotional event.
"After a defeat it is not right to go into this situation," said the Italian.
"Courtois had an injury during the middle of the week and for this reason he wasn't available but I think it is right to focus on the game and not to find excuses."

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty
Antonio Conte has not had to deal with defeat often in an outstanding first season as Chelsea manager - and none carrying the significance of the loss at Manchester United.
Chelsea's lead over Tottenham has been reduced to four points after this reverse so Conte's response to a setback that has thrown the Premier League title wide open was always going to be intriguing.
Conte's reaction was to deflect all criticism away from his players and take sole responsibility himself.
Time will tell if Conte's approach was correct but it felt the right move. He was downcast but remained calm and his players will surely appreciate and respect his willingness to take sole responsibility by moving front and centre to shield them from the measured criticism that would have been deserved after this rare lapse.
If Conte was frustrated, he hid it well as he spoke of six cup finals awaiting Chelsea in the closing weeks while also underlining how far they have progressed from the struggles of last season and indeed the early weeks of this campaign.
Conte wisely felt his players have given him more than enough this season to allow him to shoulder the burden of the Old Trafford loss and perhaps put them even more in the mood to repay his faith in next Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley, as well as Chelsea's next Premier League game at home to Southampton the following Tuesday.
The Italian has barely put a foot wrong since setting Chelsea on course for the top of the Premier League after a home loss to Liverpool and a 3-0 beating at Arsenal in September - and he showed plenty of confidence in a squad that still remains title favourites.

The campaign claim: Immigration levels could be controlled if the UK left the EU. This would relieve pressure on public services.
The current claim: Immigration levels can't be radically reduced by leaving the EU. Fears about immigration did not influence the way people voted.
Reality Check verdict: During the campaign, some Leave campaigners sent a clear message that the referendum was about controlling immigration. Some are now being more nuanced, saying the UK's decision to leave the EU would not guarantee a significant decrease in immigration levels.
Immigration was the key issue of the EU referendum campaign, and Vote Leave's focus on it was a key part of their strategy.
One of the main claims of the campaign centred around control of immigration levels.
Responding to the latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures, which showed that overall net migration stands at 333,000, MEP Nigel Farage said: "Mass immigration is still hopelessly out of control and set to get worse if we remain inside the EU."
Though Mr Farage was not part of the official Vote Leave campaign but campaigned in favour of leaving the EU, similar claims were later echoed by Vote Leave campaigner Gisela Stuart.
She said voting to remain meant there would be "no control" over migration from the EU, "no matter how great the pressure on schools, hospitals and housing becomes or how much wages in our poorest communities are pushed down".
Similarly, leading pro-Leave campaigner and Tory leader front runner Boris Johnson said that the only solution to the scale of immigration which the UK was facing, was to leave the EU.
He claimed a vote to stay in the union would mean people "kissing goodbye permanently to control of immigration".
The Leave campaign also repeatedly linked EU migration with pressure on public services.
On the 20 May, Vote Leave produced a document which it claimed outlined the pressure that migration from the European Union would put on the NHS - a 28% to 57% increase in demand for accident and emergency services.
As we discovered, an increasing population would put additional demand on A&E but the extent of that increase had not been demonstrated.
But in an article published in the Daily Telegraph on Monday, Mr Johnson denied a victory for leaving the EU could be linked to immigration.
He wrote: "It is said that those who voted Leave were mainly driven by anxieties about immigration. I do not believe that is so."
And speaking to the BBC's Newsnight programme on Saturday, MEP Daniel Hannan insisted the public had not been misled over how much control the country would have over immigration post-Brexit.
In a heated exchange with Evan Davis, he said: "We never said there was going to be some radical decline ... we want a measure of control".
"Frankly, if people watching think that they have voted and there is now going to be zero immigration from the EU, they are going to be disappointed."
The campaign claim: We send £350m a week to Brussels, which could be spent on the NHS instead.
The current claim: The claim was a mistake, and we will not be able to spend that much extra on the NHS.
Reality Check verdict: Some of those who campaigned for Leave are now distancing themselves from this claim. Some have gone as far as admitting that it had been a mistake.
One of the most controversial claims of the campaign was that the UK sends £350m a week (or £50m a day) to Brussels, which could be spent on the NHS instead.
Vote Leave's Gisela Stuart was among those to make the claim, saying "Every week we send £350m to Brussels. I'd rather that we control how to spend that money, and if I had that control I would spend it on the NHS."
Many bodies including the UK Statistics Authority pointed out that we do not send that much a week because the rebate is deducted before any money is spent.
Over the weekend, Nigel Farage said making the claim had been "a mistake".
On Sunday's Andrew Marr Show, Iain Duncan Smith was shown a Vote Leave poster saying: "Let's give our NHS the £350m the EU takes every week," but he denied that promise had been made and said instead that the NHS would receive "the lion's share" of money that would no longer be spent on the EU.
The actual amount sent to Brussels each week in 2014 was £276m, a little over £100m of which is spent on things in the UK such as subsidising farmers and funding research, which the Leave campaign also promised to continue funding until 2020.
The campaign claim: Some on the Leave side suggested the UK does not need preferential access to the single market.
The current claim: The UK should get preferential access to the single market but will not have to accept freedom of movement to get it.
Reality Check verdict: The position has shifted from claims the UK could trade under World Trade Organisation rules to one which suggests the UK will continue to have preferential access to the single market, but at the same time having some control over immigration levels.
During the campaign, some Leave campaigners said that the UK outside of the EU would not need preferential access to the single market and would just trade under World Trade Organization rules.
This was the basis of research by Economists for Brexit, who said the UK should unilaterally remove all tariffs on imports.
But writing in the Telegraph on Monday, Boris Johnson quoted German employers' organisation the BDI as saying there would continue to be free trade and access to the single market.
The BDI later denied this.
If the UK wanted to retain preferential access to the single market, many European politicians say it would have to continue to accept freedom of movement.
Boris Johnson said that British people would continue to be able to live, work and study in the EU, while at the same time the UK would be able to introduce a points-based system to control migration.
Leader of the House of Commons Chris Grayling said that we would be able to have a free trade agreement with the EU while at the same time controlling the flow of people coming into the country.
The UK can certainly aim to secure such a deal.
But no country so far has managed a deal that allows full preferential access to the single market without having to accept freedom of movement.

John Cole has overseen major public building projects in the health sector in Northern Ireland and is an industry expert in construction and procurement.
Seventeen schools in the capital were forced to close in April after concerns over their construction.
About 3,000 pupils remain displaced. They will return to their own schools after the summer holidays.
Andrew Kerr, City of Edinburgh Council's chief executive, said: "I am pleased to have brought on board an expert of John's calibre to head this independent inquiry as he commands respect in both construction and procurement fields.
"His track record speaks for itself and I am sure parents and everyone else who has been affected by the issues over the past five months will take comfort from the extensive knowledge and experience that John brings to the role.
"The clear and thorough terms of reference, drafted in consultation with the political group leaders, set out exactly what we are aiming to achieve through this inquiry. Clearly, we want to find out what went wrong with these schools and are determined to see what lessons can be learned, not just here in Edinburgh but across Scotland and the UK."
It was announced earlier this week that four primary schools, Pirniehall, St David's, Broomhouse and St Joseph's, will now open on Monday 20 June.
Pupils from Rowanfield School will also return earlier than planned on Monday 27 June.
About 900 pupils from Oxgangs and St Peter's Primary Schools and Braidburn School returned to their own buildings last month.
Firrhill High School fully reopened on schedule last week.
Pupils at remaining primary schools - Craigour Park, Forthview, Craigroyston and Castleview - will return after the summer break, as will Craigmount, Gracemount, Drummond and Royal High Schools.
About 7,600 primary and secondary school children in the capital were affected when the schools, which were all built or refurbished as part of the same public private partnership (PPP) scheme, were closed suddenly in April.
The problem became apparent following an investigation when part of a wall at Oxgangs Primary was blown down during stormy weather.
The 31-year-old, who has played 68 Tests, 166 one-dayers and 64 T20 internationals, will be available for all formats from April until late July.
"To sign a player of that quality for as long as we have is a great coup," head coach Mark Davis told BBC Sussex.
"He is a very exciting signing. We were keen to get hold of him the moment we saw he was available."
Taylor has scored 5,197 Test runs at an average of 45.99, with his highest score of 290 coming in the second Test against Australia last month, which ended as a draw.
"He has captained his country and has a great record," Davis added.
"He will add to us as a team on and off the pitch and be a positive influence. He will be a great help to our new captain Luke Wright and our batsmen."
Taylor previously played T20 cricket in England for Durham in 2010.
Sussex have been able to move for Taylor because Australian pace bowler Steve Magoffin is set to qualify as a non-overseas player.
Magoffin, 36, has an English wife and has applied for a UK passport.
The Biscay Tall Ships Regatta will start on Merseyside between 25 and 28 May 2018.
The fleet has sailed on the River Mersey on four previous occasions, in 1984, 1992, 2008 and 2012.
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said he hoped it would be "the best Tall Ships Regatta to date".
Local residents under the age of 26 will be encouraged to get involved in the race, which will finish in France.
The fleet visited Belfast last year and will sail into London this September.
A Liverpool City Council spokeswoman said in 2008, when the city was European Capital of Culture, about one million people saw the tall ships, bringing an extra £10m into the local economy.
She said the hope for the upcoming event was to bring in five times as many people and "push Liverpool to the top of the 'must-visit' cities in 2018".
In May, Liverpool Mayor Anderson revealed there were also plans for the return of the giant puppets that attracted about a million spectators to Liverpool in 2008 and 2014. | A public school teacher has been found guilty of groping an 18-year-old girl under the guise of giving her a sports massage.

Spaniel Woody fell from the summit of Pen y Fan on Saturday after chasing a stone thrown by a member of the public.
Brecon Mountain Rescue Team attended after reports of members of the public putting themselves in danger by trying to help the animal.
The dog was stretchered off the mountain after suffering a broken tail and cuts and bruises.
Party leader David Grant said: "Woody was one of the best behaved casualties we have brought off the mountain.
"He was very well behaved, grateful, light to carry and didn't complain once."
Figures have shown the £155,000 Dumfries Bike2Go scheme has averaged less than 20 rentals a week.
However, councillor Brian Collins, who chairs SWestrans, said there were plans to raise the profile of the scheme.
He said the local authority had no intention of dropping the project and believed it could still prove popular.
Mr Collins said there were plans in the near future to give all council staff access to the bikes when on council business in Dumfries.
"Hopefully, seeing these bikes moving around the town much more would encourage others to buy into the programme of healthy body, healthy mind," he said.
He accepted that this would only happen over a period of some years.
"It has got to be in the long-term that we explore the ways of attracting people to that active travel," he said.
"We are sticking with it - we are in it for the long term rather than the short."
Labour councillor Colin Smyth questioned the cost of the scheme at about £1,000 per active member.
"Of course it's crucial that initiatives to encourage cycling are supported, but at this rate it would have been cheaper for the Scottish government to buy all the members a new bike," he said.
"I have no doubt that the scheme was started with good intentions but sadly it is in danger of becoming an embarrassment.
"It has now been in place for two years and the council can't simply continue to say it is teething troubles or early days."
The strike - the first of its kind since November - targeted militants and heavy weapons near the city of Palmyra, the Russian defence ministry said.
The militants had been redeployed from the IS stronghold of Raqqa, it added.
Russia has been carrying out air and missile strikes in support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since 2015.
Government forces recaptured Palmyra and its Unesco World Heritage-listed ruins with Russian help in March 2016, but were driven out by IS eight months later.
They eventually regained the city this March, but fighting continues nearby.
The Russian defence ministry said the frigate Admiral Essen and the submarine Krasnodar had fired Kalibr cruise missiles at "shelters" east of Palmyra, where a group of heavily armed militants previously deployed in Raqqa were based.
"All the targets were hit," it added.
The US, Turkish and Israeli militaries "were informed in a timely manner of the missile launches through existing communication channels".
Earlier this month Russia agreed with Iran, another Assad ally, and Turkey, a key backer of the opposition, to establish "de-escalation" zones in western Syria in an attempt to shore up a cessation of hostilities between the government and rebels.
IS and the rival al-Qaeda-linked alliance, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, are excluded.
It hasn't gone away you know. Or it is a thing of the past. Believe whichever version you like, but for a few weeks, a body which was supposed to have been consigned to history seemed to hold the key to whether Stormont stood or fell. An independent panel, set up in the wake of Kevin McGuigan's murder, concluded that although IRA members believe the Army Council oversees both that organisation and Sinn Féin, it had a wholly political focus. It was enough to calm DUP nerves and get the Executive working again.
Seemingly oblivious to the fact that political Washington on St Patrick's Day has an open door policy, the Vice President decided to spice things up with a pre-breakfast joke for the cameras. "If you're wearing orange you're not welcome in here" he cracked beside the Taoiseach who won the award for smiling through adversity while probably wishing he'd opted for room service and a later start.
Too much sausage, beans and chips is bad for you apparently. Who knew? Seemingly not the First Minister Peter Robinson who put his heart attack down, not to stress, but his unhealthy lifestyle. He revealed that in the week before he took ill he had two chinese meals, a Kentucky Fried Chicken, a McDonald's and the aforementioned delicacy. Chip shops from Ballymacarrett to Ballymena gave thanks for the plug...
Otherwise known as A Fresh Start and still intact at time of going to press in which Sinn Féin swallowed hard over Welfare Reform; the DUP swallowed hard over the IRA; and victims found the whole thing impossible to swallow because they got left out. But at least Stormont was saved. Again.
The list of well known MLAs who have gone or will go before next year's Assembly election grows by the week. Some willingly, others less so. It is lead by Peter Robinson and includes other notables such as Anna Lo, John Dallat, Pat Ramsey, Phil Flanagan and Stephen Moutray. The electorate will be lying in wait for others meaning the Assembly benches will look very different after next May.
Not the first leader of Unionism to come from Fermanagh but certainly the first female Fermanagh leader. And while we're at it, she's also the first Church of Ireland-attending, former Ulster Unionist, to lead the DUP. Not that its had many leaders. In fact, so successful has Arlene Foster's immersion in the DUP been that none of those things have seemed to matter for a very long time. A fairytale ending to a year in which she also brought us the fantasy budget.
In which unionists discovered that when they work together they're more likely to win at the polls. Their pact saw off Sinn Féin in Fermanagh South Tyrone, a constituency many thought would never have a unionist MP again. But the fact that it was required to defeat Alliance in one of Northern Ireland's most heavily unionist constituencies, East Belfast, was seen by many as a hollow victory. Don't tell that to Peter Robinson, however. Or for that matter Gavin Robinson.
The old dance was given a Stormont twist becoming "put your Simon Hamilton/Michelle McIlveen/Mervyn Storey/Jonathan Bell in.....put your Simon Hamilton/Michelle McIlveen/Mervyn Storey/Jonathan Bell out.....etc." The DUP certainly managed to shake it all about with their rolling ministerial resignations. Problem was it seemed to put the party out of step with almost everyone, especially those who thought the Health Minister would have been better employed at his desk during a continuing health crisis.

His 15 minutes were supposed to be over long ago. But boy, were we wrong. Long after the flag protest, well, flagged, he was back at the centre of one of the biggest political stories of the year. He began making a series of allegations which ended with him making an explosive appearance before the Assembly's Finance committee during which he alleged Peter Robinson stood to benefit from the sale of NAMA's Northern Ireland portfolio. Mr Robinson strongly denied it. No evidence has yet been produced to show any politician or others named by Mr Bryson were to benefit.
As if being the cousin of Chris De Burgh and living in a castle wasn't enough for him, this MLA/art dealer and former soldier, wanted to be an MP as well. And in what was possibly the shock general election result in Northern Ireland he managed to topple the DUP's William McCrea in South Antrim. Doesn't make "Lady In Red" any more acceptable, however.
What not to do when you're already in trouble over remarks you claim you didn't make over same sex couples and child abuse? Well, don't have a row with a lesbian couple in Rathfriland that's what. Having already had to issue one apology for whatever he did or didn't say at a hustings event, the then Health Minister Jim Wells went canvassing in deepest Co Down when he came across a Lesbian couple and was allegedly critical of their lifestyle. He later returned to try to apologise and was rebuffed. Two days later he had resigned saying he wanted to spend time caring for his wife who had suffered a stroke.
"Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be...." goes the song which just about covered the events of Monday, March 9. The Stormont House Agreement was agreed and the DUP and Sinn Féin were getting on famously. Then Sinn Féin announced they were going to vote against the Welfare Bill, accusing the DUP of trying to implement Tory cuts to benefits by subterfuge. Suddenly "I Don't Like Mondays" was everyone's preferred tune. What was needed was (another) Fresh Start....
See J is for Jamie and W is for Wallace
Like a bride (or groom) left jilted at the altar, the Northern Ireland Executive waited for the Chancellor to reveal how he was going to proceed with his devious plan to cut tax credits after the House of Lords sent him back to think again. And think again he did... by scrapping the whole idea. To the surprise of the Executive which had set aside £240 million from other departments to deal with the problem. Ministers now have a different problem - how to reallocate all that money. They couldn't fall out over something like that. Could they?
A few months ago Emma Pengelly was a special adviser in the office of the first minister. Today she's one of Northern Ireland's best known politicians. The political equivalent of a debut single going straight in at Number One (OK, not quite Number One but stick with it) in late September she was co-opted to replace the retiring Jimmy Spratt in south Belfast. The bitter pill of almost halving her salary to do so was offset by a £45,000 severance pay-off from which she later said she would spend a "considerable amount" on her constituency work. A month later she was made a junior minister where her pay rose to £60,000. Along the way some noses were put out of joint, notably Ruth Patterson's. She was subsequently expelled for speaking out. Next May Ms Pengelly must try to persuade the voters of South Belfast this was all a good idea. One to watch.
As in God Save the. Not an anthem normally played in the presence of Martin McGuinness and other Sinn Féin members. But that's what happened when the Assembly's Sinn Féin Speaker Mitchel McLaughlin held a remembrance event in Stormont's Great Hall. It wasn't supposed to feature but the TUV press officer Sammy Morrison decided it should and sung it, quickly joined by other unionists. Mr McGuinness got to his feet. The Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt apologised to him for what happened but later said the Anthem should always be an official part of the event. Sinn Féin called the whole affair a stunt.
That's Belfast for blushing because you've humiliated yourself and if it's good enough for the culture minister it is good enough for us. "I'm actually glad to see you taking a redner" goes into Hansard as Stormont's put down of the year. It was Carál Ní Chuilín's retort to Nelson McCausland when he asked a question she didn't like. In return, he looked scunnered as they say in his beloved Ulster Scots.
The other fresh start agreed this year was the replacement of 66-year-old Alasdair McDonnell with 32-year-old Colum Eastwood as the SDLP's youngest leader. Except it wasn't agreed at all and led to the first ever challenge to a sitting leader in the party's history. Eastwood won comfortably which was a major shock to Dr McDonnell who had confidently predicted he would see off the insurrection. All the Foyle MLA has to do now is succeed where everyone after John Hume has failed and revive the fortunes of a party which has fallen far behind Sinn Féin in the battle for nationalist votes.
Where would we be without a flag row? Hard to say since we always have one. Except this year's was a first, courtesy of whoever decided to fly the Irish Tricolour from one of the flagpoles above Parliament Buildings at Stormont. It was there for only eight minutes and but for a sharp eyed member of the public with a camera phone may have gone unnoticed. Cue separate investigations by the Stormont authorities and the PSNI. Martin McGuinness called it "much ado about nothing". Unionists didn't agree.
Leaving the Executive after the murder of Kevin McGuigan was the easy part. Making a cogent argument for getting back in (or not) after the Assembly election may be harder. It's also an election which will tell whether the party's Westminster result was really a fresh start or a false start. Mike Nesbitt is on a roll. He needs gains and seats for it to continue.
No Fresh Start for them because agreement could not be reached.
As in Mick. The Irish TD with the flowing blonde locks and a fondness for pink claimed in the Dáil that a Northern Ireland politician was to have benefitted from NI's biggest ever property sale, courtesy of the Republic's National Asset Management Agency. Having lit the blue touch paper, he didn't stand well back but made a series of other allegations. And so began a chain of events which eventually saw First Minister Peter Robinson appearing before a Stormont committee to deny he was the one after subsequent claims by the Loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson. This story can't possibly get any more bizarre. Can it?
Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan made an apparent reference to a four-letter word in an exchange on social media. In his New Year message he tweeted that 2015 offered the Republic the choice of "constitutional politics or cult politics". A Sinn Féin TD responded by posting an image of the Blueshirts, a pre-cursor to Fine Gael adding "Hopefully cult politics doesn't make a comeback." Another user suggested that the tweet had been misspelled, to which the minister replied: "yep left out the 'n'". He apologised.
The big man with the white beard and the sack was in danger of being usurped in Northern Ireland by the politicians who were trying to avoid the sack. For two years they had talked up to - and even through - Christmas. But not this year. The deal done in November - even if it should have been concluded in October.
The number of challengers Arlene Foster faced to lead the DUP. Sammy Wilson might have done so if he hadn't backed Nigel Dodds who then withdrew and backed Arlene Foster.
Several tractors and farm vehicles were used to block the entrance to Lidl's regional distribution centre near Nutts Corner on Tuesday night.
They prevented about a dozen delivery lorries entering and leaving the site.
The protesters said the demonstration marked another stage in their ongoing campaign over prices.
Farmer Johnny Matthews told the BBC that supermarkets were selling milk as a "loss leader" and as a result were putting farms out of business.
Retailers' representatives have denied the loss leader accusation and have argued that global economic forces were affecting milk prices.
But Mr Matthews said the protest was not only focused on dairy farms.
"It's all about agriculture sectors - beef, lamb, cereals, pork, vegetables and milk.
"Every industry in the Northern Ireland agricultural sector is under pressure at this minute in time and we need help and we need it urgently."
When asked what the demonstration would achieve, he referred to recent action by dairy farms in England, that resulted in a major supermarket taking action.
On Tuesday, Morrisons announced it would sell a new milk brand which will see 10p per litre extra paid to farmers.
Mr Matthews said: "England has done it last week, and they've got the milk price risen 10p for doing that, so we've got to start somewhere too."
Hannah Lilburn, from Moira, helps out at the family farm, and was at the protest.
"The farm has been passed down through generations and my brother is now on the farm as well," she said.
"The two of them run the 220 herd dairy cow unit. It is hard, it is hard work. It's costing on average 30.34p to produce.
"Farmers in Northern Ireland are getting paid about 19p so every cow that is milked on our farm we're losing money on.
"No other person would go to their job if they were losing money every day but a cow can't just be turned off like a tap, they have to keep going."
The 70-year-old Spanish tenor will chair the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
The music world was facing "enormous changes and challenges", he said.
He said he "passionately believed in the importance of respecting talent and in the rights of all those who perform, create, produce and invest in music".
The IFPI has been at the forefront of the campaign to counter illegal music sharing and pursuing the biggest offenders.
IFPI chief executive Frances Moore said Domingo was an artist who "speaks from the heart about the issues that matter to him".
"His forceful advocacy for the intellectual property rights of the music sector comes at a pivotal moment, as governments in many countries consider new legislation to curb piracy and help develop the legitimate digital music business," Moore added.
Julie Pacey, 38, was found dead in the bathroom of her home in Longcliffe Road, Grantham, Lincolnshire, on 26 September 1994 by her teenage daughter.
She had been sexually assaulted and strangled.
Police said DNA evidence, recovered from the scene at the time, could now be used to identify her attacker.
Det Insp Helen Evans, senior investigating officer, said advancements in DNA technology has allowed scientists to come up with an almost complete profile of an individual.
"This means that if we can link that DNA to a person, it is entirely possible that we may have found Julie's murderer," she said.
"The one drawback is that the DNA does not match anyone presently in our databases. For that reason we are asking the public for help and urging them to give us a name."
Mrs Pacey's husband, Andrew, said: "It's 21 years ago now - a long time to be free when you've committed this crime."
"To find and bring to justice the person who murdered Julie after all of these years would, I hope, finally offer some closure to the people who loved and cared for her," Det Insp Evans said.
Detectives are also keen to trace a man who was seen in the area at the time of Mrs Pacey's death and find a BMW parked on the driveway of the family home, next to her Audi.
Jordan Campbell, 17, was found at a flat in Tickle Avenue, St Helens, at about 12:00 GMT. Post-mortem tests found he died from a single stab wound.
Daniel Joseph Wiltshire, 25, of Newton-le-Willows, Ruben Thomas Hoather, 22, of St Helens and Anthony Mark Wood, 32, of Thatto Heath are all in custody.
They are due to appear before St Helens Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Police had been called to reports of an assault at the flat at about 11:55, when they saw smoke coming from the property.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service extinguished a number of small fires inside the flat and discovered the teenager's body.

The Yorkshire batsman, 26, succeeds Alastair Cook, who resigned last week after more than four years in charge.
"It is a huge honour to be given the Test captaincy," said Root, who will be the 80th man to lead the country in the longest form of the game. "I feel privileged, humbled and very excited."
Root steps up from vice-captain, with Durham all-rounder Ben Stokes, 25, filling the role as his deputy.
"The senior guys in the changing room play a very influential role and, whilst there's a natural progression for me, it's a huge support to know that they are there to help and advise," added Root.
"We have a very good group of players and I'm looking forward to leading them out in the summer, building on Alastair's achievements and making the most of our talents in the years ahead."
No batsman has scored more than Root's 4,594 runs since he made his Test debut in December 2012.
In the same time period, only India captain Virat Kohli has scored more runs than Root in all forms of international cricket.
"Joe is the right man to be our next Test captain and I'm thrilled that he has accepted the role," said England director of cricket Andrew Strauss.
"He is universally respected by his team mates, passionate about driving the Test team forward and extremely excited about the prospect of leading his country."

Cook resigned on 6 February after a record 59 Tests at the helm.
Before the tour of India at the end of last year, the 32-year-old opener said he was looking forward to not being captain.
As England moved towards a 4-0 series defeat, Cook increased speculation over his future by saying he was questioning his position.
After he resigned, he confirmed he would like to continue at the top of the order, with England director of cricket Andrew Strauss leading the process to appoint a successor.
Root, Stokes, pace bowler Stuart Broad and one-day vice-captain Jos Buttler were all consulted.
But Root was always seen as the clear favourite and was offered the job over the weekend.
With England concentrating on limited-overs cricket for the first part of 2017, Root will not properly pick up the reins for almost five months, with the next Test not until July.
However, after the visits of South Africa and West Indies, he will lead England to Australia for the defence of the Ashes.
Root takes the job with very little captaincy experience - he has only ever skippered in four first-class matches.
However, he likened taking over as leader to becoming a father, a baby son having arrived in January.
"Being a dad, you don't really know what to do until you have to go with it," he told the BBC before Cook's resignation.
"I imagine being captain would be very similar. Until you're in that position I don't think you know.
"I've got quite a lot experience in Test cricket now, but it's one of these things you have to learn on the job."
For Stokes, the elevation to vice-captain is further confirmation of his importance to the England side after an occasionally turbulent start to his international career.
In 2013, he was sent home from the England Lions tour of Australia for disciplinary reasons after he and pace bowler Matt Coles were found to have ignored the management's instructions over preparation and recovery.
Though he was part of the England squad for the 2013-14 Ashes, scoring a maiden Test century, he missed the 2014 World Twenty20 with a broken hand sustained when punching a locker on a tour of the West Indies.
A spell of drifting in and out of the England team followed, including missing the 2015 World Cup, but he returned to hit the fastest Test century at Lord's - 101 from 85 balls against New Zealand - before smashing England's fastest Test double century against South Africa in January 2016.
"He has real presence and influence within the team environment that serve as a great source of support for Joe," said Strauss. "I have no doubts that the responsibility will also help Ben to continue his rapid rise as a world-class all-rounder."

Bradford County, Pennsylvania, is one of the most fracked places on the planet.
Its gas-rush, which began in earnest in 2008, has seen around 600 wells drilled deep into the Marcellus Shale.
The county seat is the town of Towanda. If you want to know what a gas-rush does to an area there is no better place to look for answers.
First impressions? It is busy. It seems every other truck is carrying water or sand to serve the fracking industry.
Locals complain their predominantly rural life style has been industrialised by the gas industry. Some call it an occupation. Regulars chatting at a local club accept it has brought jobs - but at a price.
I asked one woman: "What's fracking doing to this community?"
"Raping it," was her stark reply. "Tearing our roads apart - not to mention what it's doing to the countryside. Have you seen it?"
I had. Huge clearings cut through hillside forests to allow for pipelines - well pads dotted around the landscape. And traffic. So much traffic.
Down in the village of Dimock, I met Bill Ely whose party piece is setting fire to his water supply. He said it has been contaminated with methane ever since he leased his land to a drilling company.
They now truck in his drinking water - but deny their operations have caused the contamination. They say there is a history of naturally occurring methane in the area.
Hair dresser Crystal Stroud claimed that within days of drilling starting near her home her hair started falling out and she became seriously ill.
Tests showed her water was contaminated with barium, but a department of environmental protection investigation decided drilling was not to blame and that the contamination was pre-existing.
Like others whose wells have become undrinkable she believes it is too much of a coincidence.
The industry said opponents are a vocal minority, and it is true that fracking has created fortunes.
"It's like Christmas every day," said hotelier Gregg Murrelle. His hotels became so busy with gas workers that he had to build a new one.
It is block-booked for two years by a single company.
The county has the lowest unemployment rate in Pennsylvania. Even jewellers are making money by creating diamond encrusted derricks.
It brings jobs and money and to some extent it has recession-proofed the economy.
It could do the same in Lancashire where latest forecasts are that anything between 200 and 800 wells could be drilled in the next two decades.
But it will not do it without changing the face of areas that are affected.
Advice from the good folk of Pennsylvania is split. Some said do not do it. Others said welcome it with open arms.
One thing they all agree on, life after drilling will not be the same as life before it.
On Thursday, the authority admitted removing posters from communal areas around council homes.
But Plaid candidate Neil McEvoy claims officers have removed his posters from private property.
The council said it would "not accept being accused of political bias".
Plaid Cymru Cardiff West and South Wales Central candidate Mr McEvoy said Cardiff council had removed his placards from outside some private homes in the Cardiff West area.
"Many residents have expressed their dismay and disgust at the way in which Plaid Cymru placards have been taken down - some overnight - without their knowledge," he said.
But Cardiff council said allegations specific to Gorse Place in Fairwater that accused the council of sending staff out in the early hours of the morning to remove political sign posts from private gardens had "no basis in reality".
"The council has not removed political boards from private properties," a spokesman said.
"Further communication will take place with all candidates and members to remind them of their responsibilities.
"The council will not accept being accused of political bias during the election period."
The statement said "no political signposting for any party is allowed in communal, council-owned areas".
Advice had been given by the council's monitoring officer and had been implemented by staff, the spokesman said, explaining that Vote Leave fly posters for the EU referendum were also removed from council property.
"The campaign group was notified to desist, or face being charged for any future removals," he said.
South Wales Police on Thursday told Mr McEvoy it had recorded a complaint about theft of and damage to Plaid boards. A police inspector said "that is still under investigation".
But he told Mr McEvoy he did not intend "to record any additional complaints of theft as a result of any disputes over ground ownership".
The inspector referred Mr McEvoy to a statement from the council on the removal and added: "I believe as a local councillor it is proportionate and reasonable for you to address this with your peers and resolve within your own organisation."
An Old Bailey jury heard they had been accused of plotting an attack inspired by so-called Islamic State (IS).
Yousaf Syed, 20, of High Wycombe, was found not guilty of preparing a terrorist act in 2014, after a retrial.
Co-accused Haseeb Hamayoon, 29, of west London, was cleared by the judge after the jury failed to reach a verdict.
Prosecutors confirmed they would not seek a highly unusual third trial for Mr Hamayoon.
Mr Syed's cousin, Nadir Syed, 23, of Hounslow, west London, was convicted of preparing for the attack at the end of the first trial last year.
The prosecution of the three men was the first case to come before the courts of an alleged attack plan in the UK linked to Syria in which none of the defendants had actually travelled there.
The case was one of seven referred to in Parliament by Prime Minister David Cameron as part of evidence of the threat posed by IS, or its alleged supporters.
But throughout both trials Yousaf Syed and Mr Hamayoon denied playing any part in planning an attack, saying that while they had shared gory IS-related material among friends online, there was no evidence of a plot in Britain.
Mr Syed was acquitted on Wednesday but the outcome could not be reported while the jury continued to deliberate over Mr Hamayoon.
When he was acquitted, Mr Syed was overcome with emotion and held his head in his hands.
For his part, Mr Hamayoon stood up in the dock, smiled, and thanked both the prosecution and his defence team.
Nadir Syed will be sentenced on 23 June and faces a potential life sentence.
During the two trials, prosecutors said the three men shared an extremist mindset and an obsession with the killing of Fusilier Lee Rigby, in Woolwich.
In the weeks leading up to Remembrance Sunday in 2014, the Syed cousins had recorded a video in which they stamped on a poppy and said it should go to hell.
During his defence Yousaf Syed said he bore no ill will to British soldiers, but he had been angry about British foreign policy and the plight of Muslims around the world.
The pair were also accused of trying to reach Syria in early 2014.
At his first trial Yousaf Syed said that he had simply gone on a cultural holiday to Turkey - but admitted at the second he had wanted to fight against the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad.
All three were arrested hours after Mr Hamayoon and Nadir Syed bought a large chef's knife, days before the annual commemorations.
Yousaf Syed was not present when the knife was bought but prosecutors alleged that he had intimate knowledge of a developing plan.
Mr Hamayoon said that as a trained cook he was buying professional kitchen equipment for his new family home and had been advising his friends to do the same.
The Pakistani national, who had moved from Australia to the UK through marriage, said he regretted sharing extremist material with his new friends in London, saying that he had only taken part in chats about the conflict in Syria in the hope of fitting in.
VW's Skoda unit will lead the project to develop components and vehicles.
VW is looking for new markets as it recovers from its diesel emissions scandal.
Tata Motors, which is India's largest vehicle company and owns Jaguar Land Rover, is also hoping to claw back domestic market share.
They have signed a memorandum of understanding on a partnership they hope will potentially lead to Tata Motors launching new vehicles by 2019.
Guenter Butschek, chief executive and managing director, Tata Motors, has put in place a restructuring programme to help build up Tata's lost sales for passenger and commercial vehicles by improving efficiencies, cutting production delays and building economies of scale.
He said: "We strongly believe that both the companies, by working together, can leverage from each other's strengths to create synergies and develop smart innovative solutions for the Indian and overseas market."
VW is investing in self-drive vehicles and greener technology such as electric cars and would like greater familiarity with the Indian market.
Matthias Müller, chief executive of Volkswagen AG, said: "By offering the appropriate products, we intend to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in very different parts of the world."
A previous attempt by VW to expand into emerging markets through an alliance with Suzuki Motor Corp ended in 2015, following bitter disagreements.
Carmakers are attempting to win a greater share of expanding emerging markets through the sale of budget cars, which in turn increase familiarity of their brand.
VW is still dealing with the aftermath of the company's emissions-cheating scandal which came to light in September 2015.
VW pleaded guilty to three criminal charges in the US in January this year, and would pay fines totalling $4.3bn (£3.5bn) to settle charges over the scandal.
In November last year Volkswagen announced plans to cut 30,000 jobs worldwide with about 23,000 of the losses to be borne in Germany.
Whoever wins the polls in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh will, for the next five years, rule a population that's larger than the combined size of Britain, France, Germany and Sweden.
The stakes are high and in their desperation to grab the eyeballs of the 222 million plus people, some of India's top politicians are indulging in mudslinging and name calling, some of which are very, well, creative.
The BBC's Geeta Pandey in Delhi compiles a list of bizarre barbs and rants the political leaders are throwing at each other.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech at an election rally in Fatehpur took a macabre turn when he brought up graveyards and cremation grounds.
"If land is given for a cemetery in a village, it should also be given for a cremation ground. If there's electricity during Ramadan, it should be supplied during Diwali too. If there's electricity on Holi, it should be there on Eid also. There should be no discrimination," he said.
The comment was meant to be a criticism of the state government led by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav whom Mr Modi has accused of trying to appease the Muslim minority community.
But it was played and replayed on television news channels with his political rivals and many commentators accusing the prime minister of trying to divide voters along religious lines.
His supporters defended him - they said his speech was misunderstood and all that he was trying to say was that discrimination must end.
For those not familiar with the Uttar Pradesh politics, they would be forgiven if they walked into a rally of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and thought they had stumbled into a conference about animals.
The elephant has been a recurring theme at his election rallies from day one.
The pachyderm is the election symbol of his biggest regional rival, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), led by Dalit icon Mayawati who is a four-time chief minister of the state.
During her last term in power from 2002 to 2007, Ms Mayawati spent more than a billion dollars building concrete parks where scores of elephant statues were erected.
"For seven years, I've been watching these elephants. Those which were sitting, are still sitting. And those which were standing, are still standing," Mr Yadav says at every election rally, pointing out the "wasteful expenditure".
But on Monday, he mentioned a new animal - the donkey.
Without naming anyone, he talked about an advertisement by Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan to promote a Wild Ass Sanctuary in Gujarat, the prime minister's home state.
"I request the century's biggest superstar, please don't do any ad campaigns for Gujarat's gadhas (donkeys)," he said.
His comments were immediately described as an "outrageous dig" at PM Modi with many wondering if the public discourse could get any more pungent.
Well, on Tuesday, it did - when colourful politician Laloo Yadav called BJP chief Amit Shah a genda (rhinoceros).
Post script: He also called PM Modi a eunuch.
In this season of name calling, Ms Mayawati, popularly known as Behenji (Hindi for older sister), also has a new name for Mr Modi.
An icon to millions of Dalits (formerly untouchables), she said the initials in his name Narendra Damodardas Modi actually stood for "Mr Negative Dalit Man".
"I have defined the prime minister's name taking into consideration his work, behaviour and policy," she said.
The name game, however, was started by Mr Modi who earlier said that her Bahujan Samaj Party, which loosely translates as "party of the majority of people", has turned into the Behenji Sampatti Party (Behenji Assets party).
Ms Mayawati said Mr Modi was "indulging in cheap things and petty talk" because he was "perturbed by the rising popularity of her party".
India's Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti, who is campaigning for PM Modi's BJP, recently told a gathering in the backward Bundelkhand region that [Donald] Trump and [Vladimir] Putin were watching the Uttar Pradesh (UP) elections.
According to a report in The Indian Express Ms Bharti said: "Trump and Putin are watching; that if India has to become a great power then UP should not be backward."
She also invoked the names of [Karl] Marx and [Vladimir] Lenin while praising the recent government decision to ban high value currency notes to curb corruption.
"One of the biggest economic revolutions in the world was brought about by Marx and Lenin. But their revolution was a bloody one. The one that PM Narendra Modi has brought through demonetisation is a bloodless economic revolution."
Now, Bundelkhand is among the most backward regions in the state and people here are barely literate.
No wonder then, as the Express reported, "Her references to Marx, Lenin, Trump and Putin left many flummoxed in the crowd".
And us too.
The incident happened in Westwood Quadrant in the Linnvale area of Clydebank at about 23:00 on Wednesday.
Police said a joint investigation with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service had found that the fire was started deliberately.
They described it as a "deliberate and dangerous act", adding that inquiries were at an early stage.

The actor, who was in Los Angeles when he was offered the role, said he knew he was going to star in the Old Vic production two pages into the script.
"When you read something that great the decision's already made," he continued.
Art, in which three friends fall out over the purchase of a painting, runs until 18 February.
Sewell, who last appeared in the West End in 2013, said he would not have done the show had his young daughter not been able to join him in London for Christmas.
"I couldn't have taken the job if that hadn't happened," he told the BBC this week. "It's the most important thing for me."
The 49-year-old also revealed there were "limited possibilities" for him to reprise his role as Lord Melbourne in the second series of ITV's regal drama Victoria.
The original London production of Yasmina Reza's Art opened in 1996 with Sir Tom Courtenay, Albert Finney and Ken Stott.
The play went on to be staged on Broadway and translated into 20 languages.
Regular cast changes, meanwhile, kept it running in the West End until 1999.
Director Matthew Warchus said enough time had now elapsed for the show to be brought back at the Old Vic, where he is artistic director.
"We're at the point now where we've left enough time," he told the BBC after Tuesday's press night.
"We've got actors the right age who were never in it, and people in the audience who have never seen it."
Paul Ritter and Tim Key join Sewell in what Warchus describes as "a play about men's dysfunctional way of relating to each other".
"It looks like a well-behaved boulevard comedy on the surface, but it is actually quite violent, wild and passionate," he continued.
Reviews of Warchus 's production have been broadly positive, with the Guardian applauding what it called a "finely shaded character study".
"A play that in 1996 eventually turned into a revolving door for celebrities can now be seen in all its complex purity," wrote critic Michael Billington.
The Times said the play felt "absolutely spanking fresh", while the Independent praised the "elegant lightness of touch" of Warchus's direction.
The Evening Standard felt the show was "slightly underwhelming" but concluded it still made for "an agreeable divertissement".

The Army took over Imber on Salisbury Plain during World War II to use the area for training. Residents had to move out and were never allowed back.
It has been used by the military ever since. They allow access to the village on a handful of occasions each year.
The service at St Giles Church took place at 14:30 GMT. The church bells will also ring on Christmas Day for the first time in more than 70 years.
The Ministry of Defence is allowing access on 25 December so bellringer Jenny Hancox can ring the church bells on her birthday.
In 1943, people living in Imber were told to leave so the Army could prepare for D-Day, and the village now resembles a ghost town.
The original church bells were taken out in 1950 but in 2010, a group of bellringers installed some new bells and select services have taken place ever since.
The boy, now aged four, was conceived through artificial insemination of one of the women in Belgium.
Under French law that procedure is not explicitly open to lesbian couples. The judge said the law had been violated.
France legalised gay marriage nearly a year ago. The Versailles judge's ruling was "homophobic", said ADFH, a group representing homosexual parents.
ADFH said French law had failed to protect the rights of the child.
A lesbian rights activist, Nathalie Allain-Djerrah of Enfants d'Arc-en-ciel (Rainbow Children), said the ruling "shows in a blatant and violent way how inequality persists between the children of homosexual parents and those of heterosexual parents".
According to the French newspaper Le Figaro, in similar cases French judges have allowed lesbian couples to adopt infants since gay marriage was legalised.
France's same-sex marriage law also legalised gay adoption. Opponents staged huge rallies against it but President Francois Hollande signed the "Taubira" bill into law after months of heated debate.
Hungary will use "all possible legal means in the European Union to show solidarity with the Poles", he said.
Earlier, Poland's Senate backed a bill that gives MPs and the justice minister the power to appoint judges.
The ruling Law and Justice Party says this will fight corruption. Critics say it will destroy judicial independence.
Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in recent weeks to oppose the bill, which will see all Supreme Court judges removed and replaced.
Poland's President, Andrzej Duda, will decide whether or not judges - who will be forced into retirement - can have their jobs back.
Speaking at a gathering in Romania, Mr Orban attacked critics, saying: "In the interest of Europe and in the spirit of the old Hungarian-Polish friendship, the inquisition campaign against Poland can never lead to success."
The Polish government says the changes will make the judiciary more effective and ensure that judges are accountable.
However, European Council President and former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has condemned the move as "backward".
"Bringing the courts under the control of the governing party in the manner proposed by the Law and Justice Party will ruin the already tarnished public opinion about Polish democracy", he said in a statement.
The European Commission's Vice-President, Frans Timmermans, has threatened to withdraw Poland's voting rights in EU meetings if Warsaw does not suspend the reform.
Now the legislation has passed in the Senate, the bill will go to President Duda, an ally of the Law and Justice Party, for final approval.
On Friday, the United States urged the Polish government to ensure that any changes respect the country's constitution.
"The Polish government has continued to pursue legislation that appears to undermine judicial independence and weaken the rule of law in Poland," the US Department of State said in a statement.
"Poland is a close ally of the United States, and a strong and healthy democracy in Poland is vital to relations between our two countries."
The EA will take over from Northern Ireland's existing five education and library boards at midnight on 31 March 2015.
It is a more modest organisation than planned, and is really one very large board, rather than a completely new concept.
However, it will streamline the provision of education services and save some of the money which was spent on too many boards with duplicated jobs and services.
The deputy permanent secretary of the Department of Education, Fiona Hepper, told the education committee that it will have an annual budget of £1.5bn and a total of 37,000 employees.
That includes those working in schools but about 2,500 people work directly for the five education boards.
The original aim was to cut the number of those staff but because of a freeze on recruitment that has largely already been achieved.
The next group to feel cuts is middle and senior management - 50% of existing managers will go within the next few years.
That means 30 people who are likely to leave through voluntary redundancy, retirement or resignation, according to the Department of Education.
Because so many board jobs have gone, savings have been made already.
Ms Hepper said the original estimate was £185m over 10 years, when in fact the estimate is now closer to £250m.
The current chief executives will be replaced at the top by the interim chief executive Gavin Boyd.
He can stay in that post for a year or longer before a permanent CEO is chosen.
The former chief executives will stay in senior jobs in the meantime but will be called "regional managing directors".
The interim chief executive says a priority is to appoint an interim head of finance and head of human resources.
Those departments are said to "be under very real pressure because of job losses".
The Minister for Education, John O'Dowd, is currently deciding on the duties and salaries of a new second tier of managers.
The post of chairperson has been advertised and is said to have attracted a good level of interest. Interviews have been carried out and the process of appointment is in its final stages.
Eight political parties and other interest groups are currently choosing their nominees to the board of the new Education Authority.
The former principal of Belfast's Ashfield Boys school, Dr Andy McMorran, has been revealed as the Ulster Unionist representative.
Rydon Construction fitted thermal external cladding to five tower blocks in the Chalcot Estate in Camden.
The company said its work met all building and fire regulations and work was signed off by building inspectors.
Camden Council said it had a robust fire safety policy and was carrying out extra safety checks on the cladding.
Fire investigators have not yet identified the cause of the Grenfell Tower fire or why it engulfed the block.
Westminster, Barnet, Newham, Croydon and Redbridge are among the boroughs that Rydon Construction has worked with in the past 40 years.
Local councils around the country are now carrying out safety checks on refurbished tower blocks.
Residents of the Chalcot Estate - which includes four 22-storey tower blocks and one 18-storey block - told BBC London they were worried about safety and what to do in the event of a fire.
Roger Evans said the residents had never had a fire drill in the time he had lived there. "We do have fire alarms in each flat. The advice on the board is to stay put," he added.
Margaret de Micheli , who has lived on the estate for 40 years said: "I try not to think about it to be quite honest because it can be a bit frightening. There has been a fire on the 17th floor."
Fellow resident Nathaniel Fairnington said: "We haven't really been given any advice. There are a couple of signs which are also basic common sense such as not to use the lifts and then get out of the building."
He said it was "extremely worrying" if the external cladding fitted to the block was now deemed a fire risk.
On Thursday Rydon Construction said it welcomed the launch of a public inquiry into the cause of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. It added it had offered its help and support to the relevant authorities, who were investigating the causes of the fire.
A spokesman for Camden Council said: "Camden has a robust fire safety policy in place and all housing blocks on our estates receive Fire Risk Assessments. We continue to work closely with the London Fire Brigade and our Partners to ensure our fire safety procedures continue to meet the latest advice and guidance for all properties.
"As is usual in response to such a serious incident, our high rise blocks are receiving additional fire safety checks, including an inspection of cladding, to reassure Camden residents.
"We also stand ready to respond to any new advice from London Fire Brigade that may emerge from the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower."
Regulations requiring passengers to put laptops and other gadgets in baggage in the hold were introduced in March.
The airline said its plan to conduct "enhanced inspections" of passengers had convinced the US to lift its restrictions.
The airline runs 45 flights per week from Abu Dhabi to six US airports.
The US-imposed restrictions affected flights to and from 10 airports in eight majority-Muslim countries, and were prompted by fears that larger devices could be used to conceal bombs.
The ban said any device larger than 16cm by 9.3cm by 1.5cm (6.3in by 3.7in by 0.6in) had to be put into checked baggage.
Smartphones and medical devices are exempt from the US-imposed ban.
The extra checks carried out at Abu Dhabi international airport effectively mean passengers go through US customs and border screening before they take off rather than after they touch down on American soil.
The extra screening and checking would make "minimal" difference to the time passengers spent going through security, a spokesman for Abu Dhabi airport told Reuters.
A spokesman for the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it hoped other airlines and airports covered by the restrictions would follow suit.
The Dubai airports authority is believed to be working with the DHS to replicate the system set up in Abu Dhabi.
Late last month, the US demanded authorities in 105 other nations carry out more thorough checks on passengers and devices but stopped short of extending the laptop ban.
South Wales Police said they are investigating the serious assault which happened in Pontardawe at around 17:45 BST on Tuesday.
Police said a local woman in her 30s has been arrested in connection with the incident.
PM Tony Abbot said Australian Federal Police would assume responsibility for security at the site in Canberra.
The move came a day after major anti-terrorism raids took place in Sydney.
They were aimed at thwarting an alleged plan by Islamic State (IS) supporters to carry out killings in Australia, including an on-camera beheading.
In recent weeks, IS - a militant Islamist movement which has seized vast areas of Iraq and Syria - has released video footage showing the beheadings of two American journalists and a British aid worker seized.
Speaking to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Mr Abbott said parliament had been identified as a potential target.
"There certainly has been chatter amongst the terrorist support networks of an attack on government and government people, and Parliament House has been specifically mentioned," he said.
As a result, an urgent security review had taken place.
"Subsequently we are placing the Australian Federal Police in charge of security, not just outside the building but inside the building as well," he said.
Security has until now been handled by an in-house security team.
Asked about Thursday's raids, Mr Abbott said that security officials had acted quickly to disrupt the alleged terror network "because we believed that a demonstration execution was likely quickly".
More than 800 officers took part in the operation, which resulted in 15 arrests.
Australia media reports say the operation was triggered by an intercepted telephone call between the most senior Australian member of IS and domestic sympathisers in which he told them to carry out a series of random beheadings.
Two men have since been charged. One of them, 22-year-old Omarjan Azari, has been charged with conspiracy to commit acts in preparation of a terrorist act and financing terrorism, the AFP said in a statement.
Prosecutor Michael Allnutt said Mr Azari had planned to commit "extremely serious" offences that involved "an unusual level of fanaticism" and were "clearly designed to shock, horrify and terrify" the public.
A 24-year-old man was charged with unauthorised possession of a prohibited weapon and possessing ammunition without a licence.
Phil Mercer: Australia's home-grown terror threat
Who are Australia's radicalised Muslims?
Australia last week raised its terror threat level from medium to high - the second highest rank - amid mounting concern over the impact of Australians fighting with Islamic militant groups in the Middle East on domestic security.
Officials say dozens of Australians have gone to fight for IS, which has taken control of large swathes of Iraq and Syria, and the al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda-affiliated rebel group in Syria.
Australia has recently committed troops to combat IS in Iraq.

Les Bleus beat world champions Germany 2-0 in their semi-final in front of a fiercely partisan Marseille crowd.
"We don't have the power to solve the French people's problems but we can ease their worries," Deschamps said.
"There is a lot of passion and fervour. There is a lot of happiness all over France tonight."
There had been security concerns in the build-up to the tournament following the November attacks across Paris, including at the Stade de France, which killed 130 people.
Towards the start of the tournament there were strikes in France and protests in Paris over a labour reform bill, which saw 58 arrests and 29 police officers among 40 people injured.
"We experience the passion when we talk to the people," said Deschamps, whose side face Portugal in Sunday's final at the Stade de France (kick-off 20:00 BST).
"Now the players are well aware of that power, and what they can give to the French people by wearing these colours.
"When you see the passion, inside and outside the stadium, this team has everything it takes to be loved, the players are performing well on the pitch and I'm very proud.
"We are in a final. We have our chance and Portugal have their chance too. It's not as if just because we're hosts and have knocked out Germany that gives us additional power. Portugal believe in themselves, and we believe in ourselves. It's still very open."
"We again have a hero, a striker who can make us win tournaments. Hopefully. What a player."
When those words come from France's all-time top scorer, Thierry Henry, you know something special has happened.
Antoine Griezmann scored both goals against Germany to take his tally for the tournament to six - twice as many goals as anyone else.
"We're very happy. We can start dreaming of 10 July. There's still one match to go to finish with a flourish. It's going to be tricky but I hope this won't be the end. It's our duty to win matches for the French public."
Atletico Madrid striker Griezmann opened the scoring at the end of the first half from a penalty.
It was his first spot-kick from open play since missing in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, although he did go on to score in the shootout which his team lost.
"I missed my penalty in the Champions League final and I really wanted to take a penalty in another important match," the 25-year-old said. "I'm pleased to have taken that decision, and to have scored."
His second goal, after Germany keeper Manuel Neuer failed to full clear a Paul Pogba cross, came midway through the second half.
Griezmann's six goals is the second highest tally for one player at a single European Championship. Michel Platini has the record with nine at Euro 1984 - a tournament which France won as hosts.
He is the joint fourth top scorer in all European Championship games combined - level with, among others, Henry, who took three tournaments to score six.
Platini - who never played in another Euros - and Cristiano Ronaldo, who will face France in the final, are level at the top on nine.
"I'm still very far off Michel Platini and hopefully one day I can get closer to that," said Griezmann, who was famously pictured in tears after Germany beat France in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final.
His strike partner Olivier Giroud said: "It's an emotional night. We will savour this and then tomorrow focus on the next game in three days' time.
"Antoine Griezmann has grown as this tournament has gone on. I'm delighted for him. He gives us a bit extra.
"I'd really like to write a chapter in history. Everyone wants to achieve something great on Sunday."
BBC pundit Henry said: "I am so emotional. It's nice to see that togetherness in the team, and with the fans.
"At the back they were great. The main man Griezmann, we all knew that he had to play this type of game. Germany made two mistakes on the goals but he put them in the back of the net."
About Griezmann equalling his Euros haul of six, Henry said: "What the guy is doing is astonishing. He can score a hat-trick or four goals, I don't care. What a player."
Germany manager Joachim Low was uncertain about his future when asked after the game.
Die Mannschaft have reached the semi-finals in each of the five tournaments Low has managed them in, reaching two finals - their Euro 2008 defeat and 2014 World Cup win.
"I can't predict things from tomorrow. I'm still disappointed. I won't think about that tonight," said Low, whose contract has another two years left to run.
"How I cope with that, it's difficult to answer. We haven't discussed beforehand what we would do after a loss. Maybe tomorrow [Friday] or in two or three days we will talk about that and consider if there is anything to discuss."
He thought his side were unfortunate to lose to France, but now expected Les Bleus to win the tournament.
"I think they will win against Portugal. Portugal has not convinced that much in the games so far. I think France are a very good side," he said.
"But in 2012 or 2010 when we went out, the other sides were better than us. Today that wasn't the case. We were better than the French. We didn't have the luck we needed.
"If we had scored, we could have dominated this match. If you concede in the 44th minute, everyone was shocked. I had to calm the players down in the dressing room."

Det Supt Steve Fulcher did not read Christopher Halliwell his rights before the former taxi driver led him to the body of Becky Godden in 2011.
The failure to follow arrest guidelines meant Halliwell - who admitted the murder of Sian O'Callaghan - was not prosecuted for Miss Godden's murder.
The formal misconduct hearing follows an inquiry by police watchdog the IPCC.
Halliwell has never stood trial for the murder of Miss Godden, who was last seen alive by a police officer in Swindon in December 2002.
He led police to her body shortly after confessing to the killing of 22-year-old Miss O'Callaghan, for which he was jailed for life in October 2012.
However, a High Court judge ruled his confessions over Miss Godden were inadmissible, as there had been "wholesale and irretrievable breaches" of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (Pace) guidelines.
Under Pace rules, which govern the questioning of suspects, Halliwell should have been cautioned several times during cross-examination.
But during a Bristol Crown Court hearing in 2012, Mr Fulcher, who advised officers across the country on how to conduct murder investigations, admitted he had not "considered it".
He added: "I believed that again, the right thing to do was take the information he was prepared to give, but I accept he was not cautioned at that time."
An Independent Police Complaint Commission report found Mr Fulcher had breached Pace rules and ignored orders from his own force during the inquiry into Halliwell.
The IPCC report recommended that Wiltshire Police should consider a charge of gross misconduct against Mr Fulcher for his management of the investigation.
The hearing - in front of a panel of independent members - is expected to last five days. | A dog has been rescued from the Brecon Beacons in Powys after surviving a 600ft (163 m) fall.

Only a few metres remain to be taken, a correspondent said.
Some Iraqi security forces have been seen dancing in the streets even though commanders have not confirmed the news.
Iraqi forces, backed by US-led air strikes, have tried to retake the key city since 17 October last year.
Thousands of Iraqi security forces, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, Sunni Arab tribesmen and Shia militiamen, supported by US-led coalition warplanes and military advisers, have been involved in the battle to retake Mosul.
The government announced the full "liberation" of eastern Mosul in January, but the west of the city has presented a more difficult challenge, with its narrow, winding streets.
The UN has warned that IS may be holding more than 100,000 people in the city as human shields.
Last October, the Iraqi army said there were 6,000 militants in the city. Fewer than 300 were thought to be holding out.
Some 900,000 people have been displaced from the city since 2014 - about half the the pre-war population- aid organisations say.
Last month, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said the destruction of the ancient mosque in the city of Mosul was "an official declaration of defeat" by IS.
Iraqi forces say IS blew up the Great Mosque of al-Nuri and its famous leaning minaret as jihadists battled to stop advancing pro-government troops.
Dual citizens are not allowed to run for public office under Australia's constitution.
Mr Joyce revealed earlier that he may have New Zealand citizenship by descent, but said he will take his case to the nation's High Court.
PM Malcolm Turnbull's government risks losing its grip on power if Mr Joyce is ruled ineligible.
The office of New Zealand Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne confirmed to Australian media that under New Zealand law, a child born to a New Zealand national is automatically given citizenship.
However, Mr Joyce told parliament he received legal advice that he is not in breach of rules. He will remain as deputy PM in the meantime.
Mr Joyce is the latest of several Australian politicians to be caught up in dual citizenship scandals.
Two senators, Scott Ludlam and Larissa Waters, were forced to resign last month over their citizenship status. Another two senators, Matt Canavan and Malcolm Roberts, will also have their eligibility decided by the High Court.
He is the leader of the National Party, the junior partner in Mr Turnbull's conservative coalition.
Mr Joyce entered the Senate in 2005, where he served for eight years, before moving to the lower House of Representatives in 2013.
Known for his straight-talking comments, Mr Joyce gained international attention by clamping down on Johnny Depp's dogs and rebuking critics of Australia Day.
Speaking in parliament, Mr Joyce said he was contacted by the New Zealand High Commission last week and informed he could be a citizen by descent.
"Needless to say, I was shocked about this," he said on Monday.
"Neither I, nor my parents have ever had any reason to believe I may be a citizen of another country."
Mr Joyce's father was born in New Zealand and moved to Australia in 1947. The politician was born in the New South Wales town of Tamworth in 1967.
He said: "Neither my parents nor I have ever applied to register me as a New Zealand citizen. The New Zealand government has no register recognising me as a New Zealand citizen."
Mr Joyce said he had been advised by Australia's solicitor-general that he was not in breach of the constitution.
The Section 44 (Disqualification) states that any person who "is under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or a citizen of a foreign power... shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives".
This is interpreted as meaning that people with dual citizenship are not permitted to run for office.
However, experts have said there is uncertainty surrounding the rules, particularly on the issue of citizenship by descent.
Currently, Mr Turnbull's government has only a slim one-seat majority in the House of Representatives.
If Mr Joyce were to be ruled ineligible, it would force a by-election, and the government's hold on power would be at risk.
However, Mr Turnbull could retain government with the support of independent MPs and minor parties.
Treasurer Scott Morrison, a senior government minister, said it was important not to "leap to conclusions".
Mr Turnbull responding by writing an open letter to Opposition Leader Bill Shorten asking for help in resolving the dual citizenship saga.
He said it was time for the High Court to clarify the precise meaning of Section 44.
"With around half of all Australians having a foreign-born parent and with many foreign nations having citizenship laws which confer citizenship by descent, regardless of place of birth, the potential for many, possibly millions of Australians unknowingly having dual citizenship is considerable," he wrote in the letter.
"The Australian people must have confidence in our political system and resolving any uncertainty is vital."
British Athletics has announced both men have been omitted from its world-class performance programmes for 2017.
Former Olympic and two-time world 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu, 32, will no longer get top-level podium funding.
But she will receive the same amount of funding as part of the relay squad.
The total number of Olympic athletes on podium funding has dropped from 21 to 15 ahead of next year's World Championships in London.
Former Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, who retired last month, has also dropped off the funding list.
So have sprint hurdler William Sharman, 1500m runner Laura Weightman and 800m runner Andrew Osagie.
Welshman Greene, 30, became world champion in 2011 but has been plagued by injury in recent seasons.
Dasaolu, who dropped to relay funding last year, has been cut completely despite being part of the squad which won European gold in July.
He could only make the semi-finals of the Rio Olympics and was then dropped from the team for the 4x100m relay final.
The 29-year-old became the second-fastest Briton over 100m when he ran 9.91 seconds in 2013 and became European champion the following year.
In addition to the 15 athletes on the Olympic podium programme, there are 23 on the Paralympic one.
There are 29 athletes on the Olympic podium potential programme, with 24 joining the Paralympic equivalent.
A further 27 athletes are funded as part of the relay squads.
British Athletics has been going through the process to decide which athletes should receive funding since the Rio Olympics finished in August.
There are some notable omissions - including six Rio 2016 finalists. Among them is Scottish middle distance runner Eilish McColgan, 25, who set a personal best in the 5,000m and 1500m at the Olympic Games.
However, a British Athletics spokesman said athletes who were not part of the funding programme would still receive backing in other ways, such as training camps or access to medical support.
Those who feel they were wrongly overlooked can appeal.
Police were called to Llanrumney Avenue, Llanrumney, at 04:30 GMT on Sunday.
The man's death is being treated as suspicious and a woman, 27, is in police custody.
The man has not yet been formally identified and an investigation is on going.
The number of people aged 15-19 in psychological distress is higher than five years ago, said the report by a charity and a mental health group.
It also showed girls and indigenous Australians are more likely to suffer serious mental illness.
The report recommended more investment in evidence-based online support tools and improving mental health education.
Key areas of concern for young people include coping with stress, school and study problems, and depression, according to the Mission Australia and Black Dog Institute findings.
"Adolescence comes with its own set of challenges for young people," said Mission Australia chief executive Catherine Yeomans.
"But we are talking about an alarming number of young people facing serious mental illness, often in silence and without accessing the help they need."
Black Dog Institute director Helen Christensen said: "These findings confirm that mental illness is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st Century, and one that has to be tackled by the community, health services and families."

Patrick O'Flynn has quit as economics spokesman after a personal attack on the leader, while Suzanne Evans is no longer head of policy.
Mr Farage said Ms Evans' contract had expired and he had "other plans" for her role within the party.
"One or two regrettable things" had been said by party figures, he said.
He added that the comments had been made by a small number of people since the election "pressure cooker" atmosphere.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said some UKIP figures privately thought Mr Farage lacked the broader appeal to lead the party during the referendum campaign.
"The departures would also seem to deprive the party of two of its most effective spokesmen, whose quieter manner was thought to have widened UKIP's appeal," he added.
The UKIP leader also hit back at back at the Confederation of British Industry - which has spoken out against a vote to leave the EU in the referendum promised by 2017 - saying the organisation had previously argued to join the Euro.
"They were wrong about that and I think they are wrong about this," he said, adding that it was a "really big myth" that the UK could not trade with the EU if it exited the union.
Just under two weeks ago, Suzanne Evans had been anointed interim leader of UKIP.
Yesterday she was unceremoniously told that her contract to lead policy development at the party was not being renewed.
I understand she wasn't informed beforehand by Nigel Farage. Now she has to wait until Friday to see what new role he wants to offer her.
Ms Evans spoke out in support of her election campaign press conference partner and now-former economic spokesman Patrick O'Flynn, after he attacked the UKIP leader - saying Mr O'Flynn was brave.
She has since denied being part of any plot to depose Mr Farage, saying the only person who was plotting against him was himself.
There was a defiant tone from her after she was stripped of the policy role. "I'm not concerned that my contract isn't being renewed," she told me. "The manifesto was a huge success and I'm not sure I could top it. Better to go out on a high, don't you think?"
The big question now is what will the leader offer the woman who was widely praised for her role in an election campaign, so much so that it ended with Mr Farage choosing her to take over (briefly).
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said Prime Minister David Cameron's bid to renegotiate powers before the referendum would be an "attempted great stitch up" with "cosmetic" changes presented.
"Mr Cameron cries victory and on the basis of that we are suppose to support him in the referendum," he predicted.
Mr O'Flynn, an MEP for the East of England, apologised to Mr Farage for calling him "snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive".
'No purge'
Mr Farage said Ms Evans, who has confirmed she is no longer the party's policy chief, was "potentially a great electoral asset".
"There's no question that she is a very able woman." he said, but would not comment on whether she was a potential leader.
Ms Evans told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme there had been "no purge" of party figures.
"When I last looked, Douglas Carswell is still an MP for UKIP, Patrick O'Flynn is still a UKIP MEP, and I'm still UKIP deputy chairman," she said.
"Now I don't know what parallel universe journalists live in, whereby a contract coming to an end can be deemed a sacking, but that's certainly not how I see it."
In the European Parliament, some EU politicians referred to Mr Farage's resignation as party leader - which was subsequently reversed - during a debate on migration.
Guy Verhofstadt, the ALDE group leader, said: "Nigel Farage has sent a letter to Nigel Farage saying 'I resign', and Nigel Farage has responded to Nigel Farage saying 'I refuse'".
EPP group leader Manfred Weber told Mr Farage: "You said you'd resign, and yet you are still here. You broke all your promises."
Responding, the UKIP leader said there was a "hint of nervousness" among his European colleagues, saying the UK's referendum would trigger a "fundamental debate on the existence of this union and the need for it in the modern world".
'At Home' is the first in a series of exhibitions at the attraction near Wakefield to mark the 70th anniversary of the Arts Council Collection.
Other artworks on show include pieces by pop-artist Roy Lichtenstein, Sophie Calle and sculptor Barbara Hepworth.
The exhibition runs from 19 March to 3 July.
The show will mark the reopening of the park's Bothy Gallery, following its recent refurbishment.
A spokesperson for Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) said: "The exhibition references the gallery as former dwelling, but also the sense of YSP as a sanctuary for many and our continued work with hard-to-reach communities, including those who have made the region their home whether by choice or forced migration."
The Arts Council Collection features nearly 8,000 works by more than 2,000 artists.
It was formed when the Arts Council of Great Britain was founded in 1946.
His publisher, Bonniers, said the writer died in Stockholm on Thursday after a short illness.
A trained psychologist, Transtroemer suffered a stroke in 1990 that affected his ability to talk.
His poems - described by Publishers Weekly as "mystical, versatile and sad" - have been translated into more than 50 languages.
Transtroemer was tipped as a potential Nobel prize winner for many years before he became the 108th recipient of the prestigious award in 2011.
The Royal Swedish Academy named him the recipient "because, through his condensed, translucent images, he gives us fresh access to reality".
He was the first Swede to receive the prize since authors Eyvind Johnson and Harry Martinson shared it in 1974.
Born in April 1931 in Stockholm, Transtroemer graduated in psychology in 1956 and later worked in an institution for juvenile offenders.
His first collection of poetry, Seventeen Poems, was published when he was 23.
In 1966 he received the Bellman prize for Swedish poetry, one of many accolades he received over his long career.
In 2003 one of his poems was read at the memorial service of Anna Lindh, Sweden's murdered foreign minister.
Transtroemer is survived by his wife Monika and their two daughters, Emma and Paula.
The March for Europe aimed to put pressure on the government to delay activating the formal process of leaving the EU.
Pro-Brexit demonstrators staged a counter-protest at one location along the marching route.
Rallies have taken place across the UK, including in Edinburgh and Birmingham.
A sea of blue EU flags filled Parliament square shortly after 13:00 BST, where protesters sang along to The Beatles' hit Hey Jude, replacing the title words instead with "EU".
Demonstrators were calling for the government to make tight economic, cultural, and social ties with the rest of Europe.
Armed with homemade banners and flags, campaigners marched from Hyde Park and through Whitehall to the Houses of Parliament, where a debate on whether a second EU referendum should take place will be held on Monday.
An online petition garnered more than four million signatures after the vote to leave the EU in June, but an official government response to the campaign said the Brexit decision "must be respected".
Politicians including Labour's Chuka Umunna and Caroline Lucas, the co-leader of the Green Party, backed the march along with comedian Eddie Izzard.
A man was wrestled to the floor by police after snatching Mr Izzard's trademark pink beret when grappling with him in the street.
Mr Izzard pursued the man and retrieved his beret. A man was later arrested.
The comedian said: "There was one guy... he went up and snatched my beret - which has a British flag and an EU flag on - and he marched off, he stole it."
Mr Izzard said the police "did fantastic, there was an inspector, some other officers in there, they took him down".
"I got my beret back, but it's gone off as evidence - my beret is now in evidence," he said, adding: "I'm out, transgender for 31 years and if anyone steals my pink beret, I'll get it back."
The Met Police said a 26-year-old man "from a group of around four men who attempted to demonstrate against the march" had been arrested.
Simultaneous protests also took place in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Oxford, Cambridge and Bristol.
The botched RHI scheme is set to cost Northern Ireland taxpayers an extra £490m after it went vastly over budget.
The Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) met Stormont officials in July 2015 and "warned of an imminent spike in demand" according to documents on its website.
The spike materialised three months later, adding millions to the bill.
Out of a total of almost 2,000 RHI applications, just under half were made in the space of seven weeks, and it was that flurry of applications which pushed the RHI budget beyond its limits, leaving taxpayers with an unexpected bill.
Details about the UFU meetings appeared on the union's website in February 2016, shortly after the then minister for enterprise, Jonathan Bell, announced his intention to close the RHI scheme to new applicants.
The UFU was among campaigners who were opposed the "sudden" closure of the RHI scheme at that time, arguing that many farmers had already invested in expensive renewable energy boilers and were "expecting support" from the government.
The union wanted a "phased closure" so that those who had committed resources could complete their applications.
The UFU said at the time it was "not seeking a blank cheque" for its members but argued it was "unfair that farmers should pay the price for poor decision making".
"A limit should have been placed on the RHI budget," the UFU stated in February 2016.
The union also claimed that Mr Bell's Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) had "two opportunities to introduce a phased closure which would have avoided the sudden ending of the scheme".
"The UFU met with DETI in July 2015 and warned of an imminent spike in demand, and, in the following Spending Review in November, DETI were made aware of the imminent overspend," the union said.
After Mr Bell's closure announcement in February 2016, the UFU's rural enterprise chairman, Gary Hawkes, said he was "angry and frustrated" because it would leave farmers' plans in "disarray".
"A stepped closure would have avoided the overspend which led to this panic decision to put an overnight brake on a scheme around which many farmers have built long-term investment plans," he said.
"We are not seeking a blank cheque for farmers. We fully accept that tough spending decisions have to be made by government, but the problems which this scheme faced were not of farmers' making, they were working towards a deadline of 31 March 2016 in good faith," added Mr Hawkes.
Last year, DETI was replace by the Department for the Economy.
In a statement on Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the department said DETI's discussions with the UFU in 2015 "helped to inform the changes to the RHI scheme that were introduced in November 2015 and the introduction of a 400,000 kwh cap".
"The department recognises, with hindsight, that earlier introduction of cost controls and disincentives to excess use of the scheme might well have reduced or prevented the spike in applications which forced the sudden suspension of the RHI in February 2016," she added.
"Full understanding of why this happened will be the subject of the forthcoming independent investigation."
The RHI was set up in 2012 by Mr Bell's predecessor, the now First Minister and DUP leader Arlene Foster.
Mrs Foster has apologised for the scheme's lack of cost controls but has resisted calls for her resignation and for a public inquiry into the scandal.
Sinn Féin said if she does not step aside for an "independent investigation" her position as first minister will become "untenable".
Sally Faulkner, child recovery agent Adam Whittington and his two colleagues tried to take the children from her estranged husband's care in April.
The operation was filmed by a crew from Channel Nine's 60 Minutes show.
All were arrested after the children were snatched from a Beirut street, but the journalists were later released.
Ethical cloud hangs over freed 60 Minutes Australia crew
Judge Rami Abdallah recommended late on Thursday night that the TV crew only be charged with the minor offence of not reporting a crime to authorities - normally punished with a fine.
He also removed criminal gang charges against everyone involved.
As well as British-Australian Mr Whittington, British security specialist Craig Michael and a local fixer were also formally indicted. Another fixer was charged with assault.
The charges have to be approved by a further court, which is expected to happen within days.
Ms Faulkner had been jailed for two weeks but has since returned to Australia, and is unlikely to return to Lebanon to face charges.
Joe Karam, lawyer for the British men, said that he was confident that "whenever it goes to a trial we will reach to the right appropriate decision according to the precedent by the same chamber since 1995 at the appellate court, where they consider a kidnapping of a child by his mother is not a kidnapping".
The 60 Minutes team hired the agents to grab the children from a street in Lebanon, where their mother said they had been moved without her permission by her estranged husband, Ali Elamine.
An inquiry by Channel Nine later concluded that "inexcusable errors" were made in the planning of the documentary and producer Stephen Rice left the organisation. Other staff were given formal warnings.
Perry, the seventh seed, won 11-5 11-8 11-8 to join Laura Massaro and Emily Whitlock in the last eight.
She goes on to face Australia's Donna Urquhart, who beat Egyptian qualifier Nada Abbas 11-3 11-8 6-11 11-1.
"It's fantastic that we've got three English women through to the quarter-finals," Perry told the PSA World Tour.
"I can't remember that happening many times at the British Open, it shows that we're really pushing on and challenging the Egyptian reign."
Malaysia's five-time champion Nicole David, seeded sixth, saw off Hong Kong's 14th seed Joey Chan 11-4 14-12 9-11 11-2.
French second seed Camille Serme beat Nour El Tayeb of Egypt 11-8, 11-9, 5-11, 11-9.
In the men's event, France's former champion and third seed Gregory Gaultier was impressive in a 11-1 11-3 11-2 win over Australia's Cameron Pilley.
There were wins too for another former champion, Ramy Ashour of Egypt, and France's Mathieu Castagnet, while Mohamed Abouelghar beat second seed and fellow Egyptian Karim Abdel Gawad.
England's three-time winner Nick Matthew is already through to the quarter-finals.

Farah, 33, became Britain's most successful Olympic track and field athlete by winning Saturday's 5,000m.
It was his second in Rio following his 10,000m triumph six days previously.
"In 2017, I'd like to end it on the track, and then we'll see what we can do in the marathon," he said.
Find out about how to get into running with our special guide.
Farah, who finished eighth on his marathon debut in London two years ago, will be 37 at the time of the Tokyo Games.
"In the long-distance events you can't plan too far ahead," said the Londoner, whose training partner Galen Rupp won bronze in the Rio marathon on Sunday. "But you can't rule it out."
Farah's 5,000m triumph secured the 'double double' after his successes at London 2012, but his defence of the 10,000m title almost faltered when he was tripped.
"All my training for four years, I thought in one moment it's gone," he said. "It took a lot out of me. I had to stay strong and think, 'I've got a long way to go, this is what I've trained for'."

BBC commentator and former Olympic bronze medallist Brendan Foster said Farah is "more than a national treasure" and "the greatest we have ever had".
And the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, was among many calling for the athlete to be knighted.
Farah, who has now won more world and Olympic titles than Ethiopian great Kenenisa Bekele, said: "I'll leave it to the public. I just want to do what I'm good at. I just run, and I let the rest take care of itself.
"I know my career is short and I try and make the most of it. I enjoy what I do, and I try to make nation and country proud. I owe it to the people."

An e-mail sent to staff by the chief executive said they had to concentrate on pay and staffing across the library.
It comes after staff at the Aberystwyth library threatened to pass a motion of no confidence in management.
One of the unions at the institution welcomed the decision.
Unions are unhappy that more than 200 members have not had a consolidated pay rise since 2009.
Members of Prospect Cymru and the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) also claim some lower paid staff employed by the institution do not earn a living wage.
The library is currently preparing for consultation on restructuring which will take place over a six week period,
An email to staff on Friday from librarian and chief executive Aled Gruffydd Jones said the institution needed to "concentrate on the key matters of pay and staffing across the library".
It added: "It has been decided not to proceed at this time with the temporary acting-up allowances for two members of the executive team.
"The additional responsibilities allocated to them have also been withdrawn, pending further discussions on how best to deliver the Strategic Plan."
A Prospect Cymru spokesman said its 170 or so members welcomed the decision to withdraw the allowances.
He added: "The trade unions now look forward to working with the library to address issues raised by staff."
In December, Mr Jones appealed for money from the public to dampen the effect of a cut to its grant from the Welsh government.
He said the library faced a £1.2m reduction in income over two years.
The library and unions are set to hold meetings in June.
The Brics grouping - involving Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - is likely to announce the opening of the bank at its annual summit in Brazil.
The bank could become a new challenger to the World Bank and the ranks of other similar regionally focused agencies, reports say.
Zhang Haibing, an expert in international economy with the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, tells the Beijing News that the new bank will bring "economic as well as strategic benefits for China", and supporting the bank "is a good opportunity to show that China is a responsible big nation".
Echoing similar sentiments, several media outlets are hoping that Shanghai or Hong Kong will be selected as the new bank's home.
Experts tell the Chinese Enterprise News that Beijing has a "bigger say in the Brics and the headquarters of the new bank is likely to be in Shanghai".
An article in the Shanghai Securities Times agrees that Shanghai has an advantage over other Brics cities because "it is an international financial centre".
The Qianjiang Evening News notes that Hong Kong is also a likely candidate to host the bank. "Hong Kong has a more open capital market, and has a better banking, judicial as well as financial regulatory system," it says.
However, Yukon Huang, senior associate in the Carnegie Asia Programme, points out that some Brics countries have concerns of being "over-reliant on China" and may prefer a Latin American city to host the bank.
He adds that Japan is the largest contributor to the Asian Development Bank, but its headquarters is based in the Philippines.
Elsewhere, papers doubt Japanese PM Shinzo Abe's sincerity as he called for a summit with President Xi Jinping during the APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation) meeting later this year.
Mr Abe made the proposal on Monday amid escalating tensions between Beijing and Tokyo over territorial disputes.
Experts tell the China Daily that Mr Abe is using a "media ploy" to "give the impression of a diplomatic initiative".
Zhou Yongsheng, a professor of Japan studies at China Foreign Affairs University, says initiating media campaigns regarding such meetings is a "cunning strategy".
"Mr Abe feels that he has gained more bargaining chips with such a proposal. If the meeting is not held, he will blame China," he tells the daily.
Agreeing with the view, Liu Jiangyong, vice-dean of the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University, believes that Mr Abe is "only faking the move to create an illusion of improving international relations".
The pundit also notes that Mr Abe's popularity in Japan is "slipping since his decision to end the country's ban on collective self-defence early this month".
"Mr Abe is only 'passing the ball' to China by showing fake willingness to improve relations to the international community, while he knows very well that China will not accept the request with unsolved problems," he tells the Global Times.
And finally, teachers have been banned from accepting monetary gifts from students or their parents in what is seen as another effort by the government to curb corruption.
The Ministry of Education released a statement on Monday prohibiting teachers from receiving gifts including securities and payment vouchers, reports say.
The ministry has also prohibited teachers from attending banquets arranged by students or their families.

The RMT union members walked out again at midnight in the continuing dispute over the role of conductors.
Last week the drivers' union Aslef began an overtime ban as well as holding two strikes.
During Aslef's 48-hour strike on Tuesday and Wednesday and a further walk-out on Friday, no trains ran on Southern's network.
Aslef and the RMT unions are in dispute with Southern's parent company Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR).
Previous RMT strikes have affected about 40% of services but Southern said the Aslef overtime ban would add to the disruption.
Southern has warned passengers no trains will run on some routes, while others will be replaced by bus services.
Gatwick Express services between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport are also being affected by the conductors' walk-out.
Under the changes Southern intends to bring in, drivers would take responsibility for opening and closing the doors and guards would become on-board supervisors.
However, the RMT fears job cuts and has raised safety concerns.
Aslef has described the changes as "inherently unsafe", while GTR said both the Office of Rail and Road and the Rail Safety & Standards Board had stated drivers closing doors was a safe mode of operation.

Are we facing a Christmas of Discontent?
Talks at conciliation service Acas between GTR and Aslef failed to reach an agreement on Thursday. Negotiations ended with both sides claiming to be open for talks. The RMT was told it would not be part of the talks.
On Sunday, the RMT's general secretary Mick Cash denied the strikes were being used to "bring the government down".
East Worthing & Shoreham MP Tim Loughton will put forward proposals for a new Rail Ombudsman and increased financial penalties against train operators in a motion in the Commons on Tuesday.
The Conservative said penalties currently depend on passengers claiming compensation, and he wants to see automatic levies every time a train is late or cancelled.
"It would apply to the whole rail industry but in practice we have seen what has happened with Southern where there is no incentive for them to get their act together because they are not being hit in the pocket," he said.
The RMT is planning further stoppages, including just before Christmas and over the new year. Aslef drivers are set to walk out for six days from Monday 9 January.

The Seagulls led when Hemed fired home from Anthony Knockaert's fine cross.
Burton barely threatened and a dominant home side quickly built a 3-0 lead after the break through Sam Baldock's low strike and Hemed's penalty.
Michael Kightly's free-kick gave Burton hope, but Glenn Murray's header ensured a win which took Brighton top until Newcastle beat Wolves in the evening.
Brighton's sixth successive home league win, in front of a sell-out crowd, never looked in doubt from the moment the impressive Knockaert teed up Hemed for the fifth-minute opener.
Baldock doubled the lead and when Hemed converted the spot-kick after the lively Solly March was felled by Brewers captain John Mousinho, the home side were cruising.
The visitors finally sparked into life and, after Kightly and Marvin Sordell both went close, the former's delightful free-kick got them on the scoresheet.
But a comeback never looked likely and a trademark Murray header sealed a win over a Burton side who are just two points above the relegation zone.
Brighton boss Chris Hughton: "We went so close last year. It has certainly been a motivational thing for the players to want to go that one step further.
"We're scoring goals from plenty of sources and we need that to sustain where we are; you have to have the ability to score goals.
"In this game I had my top-scorer on the bench, but you need both (Murray and Hemed) pushing for the positions.
"Glenn's first away goal was after he came off the bench, and Tomer scored for us from the bench in our previous draw at Brentford. "
Burton manager Nigel Clough: "We have five or six players missing so no one would have expected us to get anything.
"I am disappointed with the goals that we conceded but the pleasing thing is that we didn't crumble.
"We pulled it back to 3-1 when Michael Kightly scored from a free-kick, and had we got another then it might have made it interesting.
"But there was a gulf in quality in both penalty areas."

The 38-year-old man from Worthing was arrested on Wednesday a year after Mark Manning's disappearance.
Tip-offs following an anniversary appeal led to a police search at a lake in Worthing, but nothing was found.
The man has been bailed until 25 June while police enquiries continue.
Mr Manning, of Brighton Road, Lancing, was last seen on 19 April 2014.
A friend had dropped him off at Worthing railway station. His family reported him missing three days later.
The 54-year-old was a former military bomb disposal expert who had worked for the Mines Advisory Group, a charity that removes landmines and other dangers.
A murder inquiry began last June, but no-one has reported hearing from or seeing Mr Manning and his body has not been found.
David Knowles was delivering a first aid course to members of his Exeter church group when he started feeling unwell.
The 77-year-old said he felt dizzy and weak, and had to lie down.
He then instructed his trainees, who thought he was role playing, on what to do before he passed out.

"I had just started my lecture and we were talking about cardiopulmonary resuscitation," Mr Knowles said.
"The more senior members of the group had asked for a demonstration...she thought I was role playing, but I told her it was real and that I was going to lose consciousness."
Mr Knowles, a St John Ambulance volunteer, went into cardiac arrest, but his trainees called 999 and gave him CPR until an ambulance crew arrived.
"I'm told I came to, briefly, and was talking to the paramedics about my condition, but the next thing I remember is waking up in hospital, two and a half weeks later," he said.
Mr Knowles was alone setting up his lecture in the church rooms on 16 February for between 10 and 20 minutes before his students arrived.
St John Ambulance said if he had gone into cardiac arrest during that period, with no-one on hand to revive him, he would almost certainly have died.
At the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Mr Knowles suffered a further cardiac arrest and a pulmonary embolism.
He was hospitalised for five weeks, and left hospital in mid-March.
Doctors feared he might have suffered brain damage, that his internal organs could have been affected by his ordeal and predicted he would need months of rehabilitation.
But medics say he is making excellent progress, is mentally alert and can walk unaided as he continues to recover at home in Newtown, Exeter.
The Trussell Trust said 29,049 people used its service last year, compared to 11,211 in 2011.
It has 23 food banks in Wales, of which nine opened in the last 12 months and another four will open soon.
"We believe in 2013 that figure is going to get even worse," the trust's Wales network manager Tony Graham said.
"The food banks are increasing in numbers because they are needed.
"Churches and community groups are approaching us.
"They are coming to us and saying 'we need to do something about this need in our community'.
"I think people are waking up to the scale of the crisis that we are suggesting and predicting isn't going to get better any time soon with static and decreasing incomes in real terms and an increase in the cost of living."
The food distributed by the trust is donated by the public and given to people who public service professionals think need help.
Doctors, nurses, social workers or staff at housing associations can give people vouchers which are exchanged for parcels at the trust's food banks.
During a Westminster Hall debate, Labour claimed families were suffering a "cost of living crisis".
Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan said some families had to chose between "heating and eating".
He said: "Ministers in the Tory-led coalition government should be asking themselves, what the impact of their policies will be on the hundreds of thousands of Welsh families who're already struggling to make ends meet."
Plaid Cymru MP Hywel Williams said "bluster" between political parties about who is responsible was an "unwelcome distraction from the real issue which is that, in the 21st century, people are still struggling to afford enough food to eat in one of the richest countries in the world".
Backbench Conservatives criticised the debate and they stressed food banks pre-dated the coalition government.
Aberconwy MP Guto Bebb called it a "self indulgent debate" and an excuse to have "an attack on government".
Wales Office minister Stephen Crabb also criticised the timing of the debate, noting that no Labour MPs raised the issue of food banks until May 2010.
He described it as "the latest stage in a political campaign by the Labour Party to use the food bank movement as a vehicle for its political attack".
Mr Crabb stressed the UK government's commitment to supporting the poorest in communities through clamping down on pay-day loans and doorstep lenders, and by offering winter fuel payments to help with increasing energy bills.
The prohibition was imposed on Damien "Dee" Fennell as part of conditions under which he was granted bail at the High Court in Belfast on Wednesday.
A judge decided the 33-year-old could be released from custody after he pledged to abide by all terms.
They also included an order not to post any material online.
Mr Fennell, from the Ardoyne area of north Belfast, is also accused of inviting support for a proscribed organisation.
The charges relate to a speech he gave during a 1916 commemoration event at St Colman's graveyard in Lurgan, County Armagh on Easter Sunday.
His address was recorded and broadcast on the internet, only to be removed following media reports that police were investigating the contents.
PSNI officers searched Fennell's home on April 20 and recovered one page of the hand-written speech behind a kitchen microwave, a prosecution lawyer said.
The accused denied encouraging any terrorism following his arrest.
During police interviews his lawyer read a prepared statement where he described comments about the armed struggle and existence of the IRA as his personal opinion.
Mr Fennell, a spokesman for the Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective which opposes Orange Order marches through his neighbourhood, was said to have been addressing an event organised by the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association.
Part of the speech claimed a "British micro-minister" would later be attending the same graveyard.
Prosecution counsel said this was believed to be a reference to one of the Sinn Fein ministers at Stormont.
Opposing bail, she claimed Mr Fennell did not recognise the court and would not comply with any conditions set.
However, a defence lawyer said Mr Fennell had fully participated in each court appearance.
His alleged opposition is a fallacy advanced in a bid to stop him being released, she claimed.
The judge asked Fennell, who appeared via a prison video-link, if he would comply with release conditions and turn up at court.
He replied: "I will."
Following his assurance, the judge said: "On the basis of you giving me your word I will admit you to bail."
Mr Fennell was instructed to live at his home address - which is not to be published - and report to police three times a week.
The judge also directed: "You are to refrain from any public speaking, and you are not to post or cause to be posted any material on the internet or social media pending the outcome of this case."
The Tony-award nominated musical is an adaptation of the original 1992 film, starring Whoopi Goldberg as a singer who goes into hiding in a convent.
It premiered at the Broadway Theatre in March 2011 after two years in London.
Producers said it will close on 26 August after 561 performances, before going on tour across the US.
Sister Act, which cost $10m to produce, stars former Cosby Show star Raven-Symone as the nightclub-singer-turned-nun Deloris Van Cartier. The actress took over the part from Patina Miller, who earned a Tony Award nomination.
The show took $665,744 over its eight performances last week - less than half of its $1.5 million potential.
Musical bosses hope the North American tour, due to begin in October, will help recoup some of the losses.
The show also has three other productions playing in Hamburg, Vienna and on tour in the United Kingdom.
Struggling shows
Sister Act is the latest religious-themed show to struggle on Broadway. It joins Leap of Faith, a show about a crooked preacher, which closed last month after just 20 regular performances.
Producers of the revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar have warned that it too will close on 1 July unless business improves.
Meanwhile, Godspell will close on 24 June after more than 200 regular shows.
One show that has bucked the trend is The Book of Mormon, which has proven to be among the hottest tickets on Broadway since it opened in March last year, grossing an average of $1.5m a week.
Ruud will join Gary Lineker and Martin Keown on Match of the Day at 22:30 BST on Saturday, with highlights of eight games, including Arsenal v Chelsea and Manchester United v Leicester.
Antonio Conte's side were very passive defensively as they lost 2-1 at home and I think they were left exposed a little bit. That has to change.
But, although I am very curious about how Conte will approach Saturday's game against Arsenal, I am not worried.
Up until now I think he has been playing the 'Chelsea way', rather than his own, since taking charge over the summer.
For me, Conte is still searching for a system he can rely on - what he sees as his ideal way of playing in the Premier League, and the best team he can pick to execute it.
He will need time to find out what he wants to do, and also whether it works.
It means there are a lot of questions about Chelsea right now - but we will soon get some answers.
I am analysing this weekend's game against the Gunners for Match of the Day, and I am looking forward to seeing what Conte tries next, and how he gets on.

When Conte took charge of Italy, he adapted the national side to the 3-5-2 formation he favours, which he used predominantly as Juventus manager.
But a system on its own is not the key to success. Conte himself has said it is important to find out what works best for a specific team, and that is exactly what he is doing now.
So far at Chelsea, he has always set up with four at the back and used a shape close to either the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 that the Blues played under Jose Mourinho in his two spells as Blues boss.
Playing the way Chelsea have played for a long time has its advantages - it suits N'Golo Kante in the centre of midfield, Eden Hazard is back to playing well on the left too, and up front Diego Costa is getting plenty of chances, even if I think he is too isolated at times.
Conte will not be happy with the number of errors his side have made at the back, however. That is something he might try to change this weekend by reverting to what he knows works for him.
At the start of the season I don't think he had the players to play a three-man defence, but signing David Luiz gave him that option, and he can do it now that John Terry is fit again.
Will it work for Chelsea? I don't know, but - until now - Conte has not even had the opportunity to try it.
Conte has another decision to make in midfield. Will Cesc Fabregas play against his old club Arsenal after scoring twice in the EFL Cup in midweek?
The Spaniard has not started a Premier League game this season but he showed against Leicester what he can do.
The fact he did well in that game does not mean he will play on Saturday but whether he is picked or not will tell us more about how big a part he plays in Conte's plans.
Fabregas is very creative of course, but he is not known for chasing back or tackling, which might be why he has spent most of this season on the bench.
But, with Kante in the team, Chelsea have a player who does that side of the game really well, so I can understand why many Chelsea fans want to see Fabregas start against the Gunners and increase their attacking threat.
I would like to see Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the Chelsea team too - he has not played at all in the Premier League so far this season, and I don't know why.
But of course I do not watch him or Fabregas in training and without seeing either player every day it is difficult to demand that he has to play - that is for Conte to decide.

Saturday's trip to Emirates Stadium is going to be tough because Arsenal look stronger than they did last season, right the way through their team.
Chelsea have some other big games coming up too, against defending champions Leicester and then Manchester United.
How the Blues get on will tell us more about their current strengths and weaknesses but we should not judge Conte as a Premier League manager on those results.
He has only just arrived in this country and has just started his job - he should be given six months to settle in. Sadly, that does not seem to happen anymore.
I was the first Chelsea manager that Arsene Wenger came up against as Arsenal boss 20 years ago - Conte will be the 12th. Things are very different now to when Arsene first came to England.
Because of the amount of money involved, people demand instant results and nobody gets a honeymoon period in a new job. It is the same for everyone - look at the criticism that Mourinho is already getting at United.
I fear that Conte will get similar treatment if Chelsea have a bad spell over the next few weeks, even though he is still adapting and working out how he wants to play.
Ruud Gullit was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Veteran diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi, who stood down last week, also said that the conflict would "blow up" and spread beyond Syria's borders.
His warning came as a Norwegian vessel with the first part of Syria's chemical weapons arsenal left the country.
The operation to destroy Syria's chemical weapons arsenal is several months behind schedule.
Mr Brahimi made the comments in an interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel in one of his first interviews since stepping down.
"It will be become another Somalia," he warned. "It will not be divided, as many have predicted. It's going to be a failed state, with warlords all over the place."
He criticised Iran and Russia for supporting the Syrian government, and said President Bashar al-Assad was "100% aware" of the way the war was being conducted.
"He knows a hell of a lot. Maybe he doesn't know every single detail of what is happening, but I'm sure he is aware that people are being tortured, that people are being killed, that bombs are being thrown, that cities are being destroyed," he said.
More than 160,000 people have been killed since the Syrian conflict started in 2011, with millions forced to flee their homes.
Mr Brahimi said that both the Syrian government and the opposition had committed war crimes "every day" and warned that "people will be held responsible one day".
The Algerian diplomat said the conflict would destabilise countries close to Syria and further afield.
"The UN Security Council had no interest in Afghanistan, a small country, poor, far away. I said one day it's going to blow up in your faces. It did. Syria is so much worse!" he said.
Mr Brahimi chaired two rounds of peace talks between the Syrian government and the opposition movement in Geneva, but the negotiations ended in deadlock, prompting his resignation.
On Sunday, a Norwegian cargo ship carrying about 500 tonnes of chemical weapons from the Syrian government's arsenal set sail for Finland and the United States.
The operation to completely destroy Syria's chemical weapons stockpile was meant to have been completed by 30 June.
However, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) says this deadline will now not be met.
Correspondents say fighting and the threat of attack by rebel groups has severely delayed the removal of the weapons.

Ballance hit 85 in his 143-run fourth-wicket stand with Peter Handscomb (86), which proved the crucial difference between the two sides at Headingley.
Chasing 297 to win, Lancashire were bowled out in the 44th over for 217.
After being put in, the Tykes looked on course for more than their 296-9.
At 230-3, with still 13 overs to come, they then lost six wickets for just 66 in 74 balls. But, despite that apparent confidence boost to get back into the contest offered late on by their bowlers, most notably Stephen Parry (3-48), the Lancashire batting failed as they suffered a second successive group defeat.
After England Test opener Haseeb Hameed had made only eight, wicketkeeper Alex Davies top-scored with 43 for a Lancashire side missing injured skipper Steven Croft (thumb) and West Indies veteran Shiv Chanderpaul (thigh).
As for England's other batsmen, Jonny Bairstow made 28 of an opening stand of 48 with former England opener Adam Lyth (30), while England Test captain Joe Root made 21.
Pace bowler Jimmy Anderson went wicketless with his eight overs costing 37 runs, while David Willey's two wickets for Yorkshire proved expensive as his seven cost 53.
But Yorkshire's spinners proved their main weapon, England leg-spinner Adil Rashid taking 2-34, while Azeem Rafiq weighed in with the lion's share of the wickets, wrapping up the Tykes' second straight group victory to finish with 4-47.
Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon told BBC Radio Leeds:
"It's pleasing to get two wins out of two. That was a pretty good all-round performance again. There was a slight disappointment that we didn't get more runs in those final 10 overs of our innings when we were set up so well.
"Other than that, we have got to be very pleased with the win and the performance. Peter looked fantastic. Hopefully he is coming into a rich vein of form. Obviously Gary's continuing his fine form. Their partnership was crucial.
"Adil was outstanding. Obviously his wickets with his googlies were good to see. He showed his value to the team and what he's capable of. Also, don't underestimate Azeem's performance. He picked up four wickets at a time when the batsmen were looking to attack."
Lancashire captain Liam Livingstone told BBC Radio Manchester:
"We were outplayed by a better side, We didn't bowl too well at the start and we ended up dragging it back really well. That gave us a better start but batting-wise we faced too many dot-balls and that kills you in one-day cricket.
"Stephen Parry and Jordan Clark bowled really well but it took us 40 overs to realise what we should be doing on the pitch.
"I don't think it was our greatest bowling performance and it certainly wasn't our greatest batting performance. We can't afford to lose too many more games now."
Emergency vehicles have reached Shell Island - which is regularly cut off by high tides - via the neighbouring Llanbedr Airfield for decades.
Campsite director Richard Workman said changes made by the airfield's tenant, Snowdonia Aerospace LLP, are "unfair".
Snowdonia Aerospace said access is still possible.
The main route to Shell Island - one of the biggest campsites in Europe - is via a causeway which is cut off by the tide twice a day, every other week.
Mr Workman said that Snowdonia Aerospace initially proposed to stop any kind of emergency vehicle access across the Welsh Government-owned airfield by the end of March.
Now they have negotiated a temporary arrangement where emergency services will have to call a mobile number issued by Snowdonia Aerospace.
The gate will then be opened and the vehicle escorted over the airfield - but only if someone is available to do so.
Mr Workman said he fears the firm could renew its bid to completely withdraw access.
"We don't believe anyone has a right to stop emergency services from reaching people in need and are urgently seeking to clarify the legality of their decision to block what has been an agreed access route for many decades," he said.
"Our beautiful coastal site has been a much-loved holiday destination for generations of visitors and it provides significant employment for many families in our local community.
"Gwynedd council and the emergency services say they are satisfied that the campsite can stay open in the short term, but all visitors must be made aware of the current emergency services situation so that they can make their own decision about risk."
Snowdonia Aerospace partner David Young said: "In the event of emergency access being required, the request simply has to be made to our duty staff member on a mobile telephone.
"The directors of Shell Island have been invited to have talks with us about their emergency access problem but they have declined to do so."
A Welsh Government spokesman "We are pleased that a short term solution has been agreed. However, we encourage both parties to explore all options available as a longer term solution is necessary if the site is to maximise its potential."
On social media, users have noticed attempts from the government censors to mute reaction online.
Thousands of users are aware of his death, however, and have found creative ways to post tributes.
Mr Liu was China's most influential dissident and his death has made headlines globally.
But coverage on mainland China was muted - with only a few short reports in English.
Xinhua and CCTV news issued brief statements on their English sites stating that Liu Xiaobo, "convicted of subversion of state power", had died.
Communist Party mouthpiece Global Times said on its English edition that Mr Liu was "a victim led astray" by the West.
"The Chinese side has been focusing on Liu's treatment, but some Western forces are always attempting to steer the issue in a political direction, hyping the treatment as a "human rights" issue," it wrote.
Chinese-language sites appear to have steered clear of reporting the story altogether - a news search of "Liu Xiaobo" on leading Chinese search engine Baidu brings up no domestic press mentions of Mr Liu since February.
On social media, it is very much the same story. A search on the popular Sina Weibo microblog brings up a message saying "according to relevant laws and policies, results for 'Liu Xiaobo' cannot be displayed".
Many apparently innocuous comments from influential users appear to have been deleted from Sina Weibo.
Xu Xin - a user with 31 million followers - posted a few candle emojis, which have been removed.
People often use candle emojis on Weibo to commemorate someone who has died.
'TobyandElias' wrote: "Weibo is really busy tonight - things are constantly being deleted. Even R...I...P is being deleted"
Weibo users have used creative ways to show their condolences and bypass the censors.
Some have posted screengrabs of image tributes that they have seen on Twitter and Instagram, platforms which are blocked in mainland China.
Some also post links to songs as tributes. 'AlwaysABadCard' links to the lyrics page of a song called "No one knows where we will go tomorrow". It describes being "locked in a cage" and hoping "that tomorrow will be better".
As censors often scrape for simplified Chinese words, 'urKARINA' uses traditional characters to write her message instead. "Thank you for your courage. You are free at last," she says.

It was in that summer Dante Gabriel Rossetti met his muse, Jane Morris, who was Jane Burden at the time, and who came to embody the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of beauty.
And at the same time she met her future husband, Rossetti's friend William Morris.
For Harriet Drummond, curator at Christie's: "The enduring popularity of Pre-Raphaelite images is underlined by the popularity of the images we see today reproduced on cards, calendars, posters and book covers."
After passing down generations of his family, one of Rossetti's paintings of Jane Morris is now up for auction for the first time.
Proserpine, unfinished, was painted nearly two decades after they met, when they had become lovers.
Sitting alongside it in the auction is a far earlier picture.
Placing the two next to each other charts the tumultuous development of the relationship between painter and muse.
Over the summer of 1857 three Oxford undergraduates, Rossetti, Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, shared rooms in George Street.
They spent a hedonistic summer painting the Oxford Union debating chamber.
Rossetti and Burne-Jones spotted Jane at the theatre and asked her to become one of their models, who they nicknamed "stunners".
Ms Drummond said: "It was over one summer holiday. They're literally at the beginning of their careers."
Rossetti was already engaged to Lizzie Siddell, another great pre-Raphaelite beauty.
Jane married his friend William Morris, later to gain fame as a socialist writer and artist.
The poet Swinburne, also at Oxford, wrote of her: "The idea of his marrying her is insane.
"To kiss her feet is the utmost man should think of doing."
But after Siddell's death, Rossetti and Jane Morris began an affair that spanned most of her life.
At the top of a Rossetti painting of Morris, he wrote in Latin: "Famous for her poet husband, and famous for her face, may my picture add to her fame."
The two pictures now at auction recall her fame again.
In the 1861 drawing, Rossetti depicts Morris as Lachesis, one of the three mythological fates, spinning the thread of life.
The auction house said it could be seen "as a hidden allusion to her power to determine his destiny on both personal and artistic levels".
By the time of the painting from 1872, never before sold, Rossetti's depiction of his lover as Proserpine was far more sexualised.
"You see the distinctive voluptuous lips.
"It's not a finished study - you can see the blue underdrawing, showing his technique", Ms Drummond said.
The woman in the pictures represented a triumph of re-invention.
She was born Jane Burden in St Helen's Passage off Holywell Street in Oxford, now marked with a blue plaque.
She was the daughter of a stableman who worked at Symond's Livery Stable.
Her mother was illiterate - a far cry from Morris' later fluent French and Italian, coupled with a notoriety for having "Queenly" manners. | So-called Islamic State (IS) defences in the Iraqi city of Mosul are collapsing fast and troops expect to take full control in the next few hours, state television has announced.

According to research from Deloitte, items from the designer and other luxury goods now cost less in Britain in dollar terms than anywhere else.
It linked the trend to the fall in sterling since the Brexit vote, which has boosted tourists' spending power.
The pound has fallen more than 17% against the dollar since June.
According to the research, which was prepared for the Wall Street Journal, a Speedy 30 handbag from Louis Vuitton cost £645 in London as of 7 October, or $802.
That compared to €760 ($850) in Paris and $970 in New York. In China the bag cost 7,450 yuan, or $1,115.
Nick Pope, fashion and luxury lead at Deloitte, told the BBC a "period of affordability" after the EU referendum vote was proving a "demand pull" for tourists, who account for more than half of the UK's luxury goods market
"The trend in luxury pricing in the UK is being driven mainly by the depression on the sterling - thus making the same item more affordable in the UK market than in any other major luxury market," he said.
"People don't like paying more for the same product."
That chimes with official statistics that show overseas residents made 3.8 million visits to the UK in July - up 2% on the same month last year. In total, they spent some £2.5bn.
Myf Ryan, chief marketing officer at shopping mall operator Westfield, told the BBC: "The number of tourist shoppers at Westfield centres in July increased year on year with average international spend up nearly 70%."
"What we have seen is Chinese tourists bulk-buying designer items," she added.
In August, Chinese spending at Westfield's malls was up 53% compared with August 2015, she said.
The fall in sterling has pushed up the price of some everyday goods, but Deloitte said luxury retailers had kept prices stable for fear of scaring off consumers.
It said 64% of comparable luxury products were now cheaper in the UK than anywhere else.
Other examples include Balenciaga's Foulard Fringe Dress, which currently costs about $400 less in the UK than in the US.
A Brunello Cucinelli cashmere v-neck for men, meanwhile, costs £650, or $843, in Britain compared to $942 in France and $995 in the US.
Mr Pope warned the discounts would not necessarily last, however, adding that a small number of brands had already put prices up.
"Luxury brands are usually - and rightly - cautious about en masse pricing adjustments," he said.
"But if over six to 12 months this sterling position becomes the 'new normal' - and hence margins are under continued pressure - I would expect more brands to respond with pricing adjustments."
The US military said it detected a missile which appeared to explode within seconds of being launched.
North Korea is banned from any missile or nuclear tests by the United Nations.
However, it has conducted such tests with increasing frequency and experts say this could lead to advances in its missile technology.
Earlier this month, the North fired four missiles that flew about 1,000km (620 miles), landing in Japanese waters.
This test came from the eastern coastal town of Wonsan and will be seen as a response to annual military drills under way between the US and South Korea, which the North sees as preparation for an attack on it.
North Korea is believed to be developing an intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike the US, and has previously claimed it had successfully miniaturised nuclear warheads so they can fit on missiles.
However, most experts believe the North is still some time away from being able to realise such a goal.
Today's failure indicates that North Korea's space programme still has some way to go before its blood-curdling threats to turn Seoul and Washington into seas of flame are achievable.
Some experts also believe that the salvo of four missiles fired towards Japan two weeks ago may actually have been five, with one launch failing.
In addition to its missile failures, North Korea is not thought to have developed heat-resistant material necessary to launch a truly long-range intercontinental ballistic missile. But progress does seem to be being made.
Last weekend, North Korea conducted a rocket engine test that its leader Kim Jong-un claimed was a breakthrough in its rocket technology. This has not been confirmed by independent experts.
It came as US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson visited Japan, South Korea and China for talks on North Korea's recent actions, including its two most recent nuclear tests.
Mr Tillerson had said a military option was on the table if the North threatened the South or US forces.
Senegal is leading the operation, which is supported by Nigeria and other states in the region.
Mr Jammeh has been told to leave office by the end of Wednesday and hand over to last month's election winner, Adama Barrow, who is currently in Senegal.
Mr Jammeh has ruled The Gambia since taking power in a coup in 1994.
Wednesday was meant to be his last day in office but parliament granted him three more months in the post.
Garba Shehu, official spokesman for Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, said Mr Barrow was preparing to be sworn in as president "on Gambian soil" on Thursday.
At least 26,000 Gambians, fearful that violence could erupt, sought refuge in Senegal this week.
Meanwhile, thousands of UK and Dutch tourists are being evacuated from the tiny West African state, which is popular with European holidaymakers because of its beaches.
Ecowas, the Economic Community of West African States, mandated Senegal because it almost surrounds The Gambia.
Col Abdou Ndiaye, a spokesman for the Senegalese military, said Ecowas had decided on the deadline to try to achieve a diplomatic solution.
"Things are getting into place and Ecowas forces are ready to intervene if needed after midnight if we can't find a diplomatic solution to the Gambian crisis," he said.
The Ecowas force is seeking UN Security Council endorsement to use "all necessary measures" to help remove Mr Jammeh.
The Gambia's entire armed forces are made up of only about 2,500 troops, making it difficult to see how they can defeat a regional force if it moves in, says BBC Africa Monitoring security correspondent Tomi Oladipo.
Nigeria says it sent fighters and other aircraft, along with 200 personnel, to Senegal on Wednesday morning.
Nigerian navy vessels are also on standby and a warship that sailed from Lagos on Tuesday will have the task of evacuating Nigerian citizens while putting on a show of force.
Ground troops are also being provided by Ghana.
Most of the civilians crossing into Senegal are women and children, the UN refugee agency said, citing Senegalese government figures.
In the Gambian capital, Banjul, a restaurant worker who gave only his first name, Musa, told Reuters news agency: "People are afraid, we don't know what's going to happen.
"We hope he [Mr Jammeh] will leave so this will be over quickly and things can get back to normal."
Travel firm Thomas Cook said it would fly back to the UK, over the next 48 hours, 985 customers from package holidays after the UK Foreign Office advised "against all but essential travel to The Gambia due to ongoing political uncertainty and potential military intervention following the presidential elections".
About 1,600 Dutch citizens are also being flown home after similar advice from their government.
Tourism has become the fastest-growing sector of The Gambia's economy, and the country, which has a population of about two million, was marketed to holidaymakers as "the smiling coast of West Africa".
But many of its citizens are poor and complain of political repression. Some, including the goalkeeper of the national women's football team, have drowned in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe in the hope of a better life.
Mr Jammeh has declared a 90-day state of emergency, telling security forces to "maintain absolute peace, law and order".
He says there were irregularities in the election process, including the turning away of some of his supporters from polling stations, and errors made by the electoral commission.
The commission accepted that some of the results it initially published contained errors but said Mr Barrow had still won.
Mr Jammeh has said he will stay in office until new elections are held.
Retaining power would also ensure he was not prosecuted in The Gambia for alleged abuses committed during his rule.
The US state department urged Mr Jammeh to peacefully transfer power to Mr Barrow on Thursday.
"Doing so would allow him to leave office with his head held high and to protect The Gambian people from potential chaos," spokesman John Kirby said.
Prosecutors accuse the company of making its employees work long, tiring shifts without sufficient breaks.
The prosecutors' office in the city of Manaus said one worker reported packing nearly 3,000 phones a day.
Samsung said it would take action "as soon as they are officially notified".
In a statement, the company said it would analyse the process and fully co-operate with the Brazilian authorities.
"We are committed to offering our collaborators around the world a work environment that ensures the highest standards when it comes to safety, health and well-being," the statement said.
The plant, located at the Manaus Free Trade zone, employs some 6,000 people.
A worker at the Amazonas state factory has only 32 seconds to fully assemble a mobile phone and 65 seconds to put together a television set, prosecutors allege.
In evidence given to prosecutors, employees say shifts can last 15 hours and some say they suffer from back ache and cramps as they are forced to stand for up to 10 hours a day.
The prosecutors' office is claiming more than 250m reais ($108m; £70m) in damages from the company for serious violations of labour legislation.
The legal suit was filed on Friday, but has only now been made public.
Fortify Rights said that the government's orders, shown in leaked documents, amounted to "state policies of persecution" in Rakhine state.
There was no immediate response to the report from the Burmese authorities.
The government of Myanmar, also known as Burma, views the Rohingya as foreign migrants, not citizens.
There is widespread public hostility towards the Rohingya in Buddhist-majority Myanmar. The Rohingya, on the other hand, feel they are part of Myanmar and claim persecution by the state.
The UN has described the Rohingya as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world.
In a report, Fortify Rights said it had analysed 12 government documents from 1993 to 2013, and found that government policies imposed "extensive restrictions on the basic freedoms of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine state".
The policies restricted Rohingya's "movement, marriage, childbirth, home repairs and construction of houses of worship", it said.
Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state were also prohibited from travelling between townships, or out of Rakhine, without permission, the report said.
The report said a government order stipulated that married Rohingya couples in parts of Rakhine state could not have more than two children, while another document said Rohingya had to apply for permission to marry, in what the report described as a "humiliating and financially prohibitive" process.
One document published in the report said officials should force a woman to breastfeed her child if there were doubts over whether she was the birth mother.
The restrictions have been known about for some time, but what is new is that campaigners say they have the official orders issued by the Buddhist-dominated local government in Rakhine state, the BBC's Jonah Fisher in Rangoon reports.
It is an oft-stated fear of Myanmar's Buddhists that the larger families of Muslims mean they will one day be in the majority, our correspondent adds.
Tensions remain high between Buddhist and Muslim communities with the latest violence - an attack on Rohingya villagers in January - thought to have killed scores of people.
In 2012 widespread rioting and brutal clashes between Rakhine Buddhists and Muslims, largely thought to be Rohingya Muslims, left almost 200 dead and displaced thousands.
It found that the numbers available for work had been falling while employers took on more staff.
The Bank of Scotland survey for September saw weaker growth than in the previous three months.
The number of vacancies grew, but at the slowest pace for 11 months.
The labour market barometer remains high by longer-term comparison and remained stronger in September than the equivalent UK index.
Survey responses from more than 100 recruitment consultants in Scottish cities showed that Aberdeen had the fastest rise in placement of work applicants.
Edinburgh saw growth, but at the slowest rate of the cities.
Glasgow had the highest growth in pay for permanent new recruits, and Dundee had the fastest rise in pay for those on temporary contracts.
The sectors showing strongest demand for recruits were in health and care work, computing, engineering and construction.
The survey data follows a particularly strong set of employment figures last week from the Office for National Statistics, taking the share of the Scottish workforce seeking jobs during summer down to 5.5%.
Donald MacRae, chief economist at the Bank of Scotland, said: "Starting salary pay rose strongly, reflecting the growing lack of available candidates for vacant positions.
"The barometer is showing almost four years of monthly improvement, resulting in the rate of unemployment in September of 5.5%. The Scottish economic recovery continues."
In other economic news from the British Retail Consortium, footfall for Scottish retail grew last month by 2% - while it fell across most other parts of the UK.
Averaged across July to September, Scotland and south-east England were the only parts of the UK to see growth, with Scotland up 2.6%.
Within the 0.9% UK drop in September footfall, compared with the same month last year, shopping centres saw a 2.6% drop, the steepest fall since October last year.
Passing trade on high streets was down by 0.6%, while out-of-town shopping was up by 0.5%. Fashion sales were hardest hit.
Helen Dickinson, of the British Retail Consortium, said: "To look at the figures initially they seem slightly gloomier than they actually are.
"Despite a dip for the month of 0.9%, largely due to less visits to indoor shopping centres, footfall was up on the 1.1% fall for August which shows that it is going in the right direction.
"As online sales increase, overall we can see how shopping is changing and retailers are adapting.
"The industry is working hard on providing great online shopping experiences for consumers and this too impacts footfall."
Peter Hartley's stoppage-time winner at Home Park ended Pompey's hopes of promotion to League One.
Cook, who joined Portsmouth from Chesterfield last summer, is adamant he will be in charge next term.
"My job now is to manage the club again and lead the club by example," Cook told BBC Radio Solent.
"I will lift myself and I certainly will not be leading by example by walking around sulking.
"I don't think managing Portsmouth in any league is easy. I personally hope I am here for a long, long time. I am very lucky to manage this club."
Pompey, who were top of the table in October, eventually finished sixth in League Two after failing to win in their final three games.
But Cook, 49, believes the south coast side must come back stronger and learn from their play-off disappointment.
"We are very much a work in progress," he added.
"The only positive I take out of it is the club and state the club is in - the whole infrastructure from the training ground to the support I get everyday. It's so disappointing to fall short."
Triumphs for Sir Chris Hoy and Laura Trott at the London Velodrome, coupled with success for the dressage team and Alistair Brownlee in the triathlon, took Team GB's tally to 22 golds at London 2012 - ahead of the return of 19 in 2008 with five days of competition still to come.
It is now Britain's best medal haul since the 1908 Games, which were also held in London, when the team secured 56 gold medals, although that was far from a modern Olympics, with events such as the tug of war and motor boating contested.
Great Britain have also bettered their overall Beijing medal haul of 47 following high jumper Robbie Grabarz's bronze - Team GB's 48th of the Games. They also look certain to add to that tally in the coming days - UK Athletics had set a target of a minimum 48 medals at London 2012.
Here, BBC Sport looks back at Britain's best and worst performances at previous Games.

David Cockle, 50, found the Merovingian Tremissis coins in a famer's field in west Norfolk and sold them for £15,000.
He had entered into a contract with the landowner to split the proceeds of any find down the middle but failed to tell the farmer of his discovery.
Judge Rupert Overbury, sentencing, said Cockle's motivation had been "pure greed".
Cockle, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, had admitted theft at a previous hearing.
Three counts of converting criminal property will lie on file.
Cockle, who had lived in Wareham at the time, also failed to tell the coroner.
Instead he had sold the coins for £1,500 each in smaller parcels of two, three and five coins.
Another metal detectorist had discovered 35 Merovingian coins at the same site and declared them honestly.
Had Cockle done the same, the discovery would have been the largest find of Merovingian coins in the UK - surpassing the discovery of 37 such coins at Sutton Hoo in the last century, the court heard.
Judge Overbury said Cockle had more than 30 years of experience as a metal detectorist and knew the legal process.
He added the coins were "extremely rare" and that some of them had never been recovered.
Cockle was also banned from metal detecting for five years, banned from owning metal detecting equipment and from entering into agreements with landowners to do metal detecting.
He faces five years in jail if he breaches the order.
Cockle was dismissed from Norfolk Police last month for gross misconduct.

Heatley raced on to a superb long ball by Billy Joe Burns and got past keeper Conor Devlin to score the winner.
Burns was later sent-off for two yellow cards while Cliftonville substitute George McMullan got a red for comments made from the touchline.
Crusaders remain seven points ahead of second-placed Linfield.
Overall, referee Ross Dunlop issued two red cards and 11 yellow in what was a highly-competitive north Belfast derby.
Cliftonville, League Cup winners last weekend, now find themselves 12 adrift of the leaders.
They had a Johnny Flynn header ruled out for offside and also felt they should have been awarded a penalty for hand ball against Jordan Owens.
However, the points went to Crusaders and the way their players celebrated on the pitch after the final whistle, illustrated just how import the victory was as they go for back-to-back titles.
Cliftonville, champions in 2013 and 2014, really needed a victory to throw the title race wide open.
But now, many will view the battle for the Premiership crown as a two-horse race between the holders and David Healy's Linfield.
Crusaders scorer Paul Heatley: "In my opinion Cliftonville are out of it now, and I think most people will see it that way.
"We have been beaten just two times this season and it shows how consistent we have been.
"It is why we are 12 points ahead of Cliftonville of seven of Linfield with a game in hand."
Cliftonville manager Gerard Lyttle: "The big decisions didn't go our way today and we seemed to get all the bookings.
"It is not the first time we have come down here and the decisions have gone against us.
"Declan Caddell made about nine fouls before he actually got booked while we make one foul and get booked for it."
The council-run "Grow Your Own" scheme initially let education department staff with degrees do a post-graduate teaching diploma.
Thirty people applied for nine training places in 2015.
This year the figure has fallen to 18 applications from council staff despite 30 places being available.
The scheme was introduced to help tackle problems in recruiting and keeping teachers in the region.
It was first opened to education department staff but extended to employees across the council this year.
However, it has not generated the same level of response with the number of applications falling by 40%.
Witness Loren Lent told the BBC that a group of bystanders had formed a circle and caught the girl as she fell.
Mr Lent said the teenager would have been killed or seriously injured but for their quick thinking.
He said it was not clear why the girl was so eager to escape the chair lift.
"I have no idea," he said. "She may have panicked, she may have had a seizure or she may have been terrified by bees that were known to have been in the area.
"All I can say though is that the actions of these people prevented what could have been a very nasty accident."
One of the catchers is reported by local media to have hurt his back during the operation on Saturday, in which rescuers had to persuade the 14-year-old to let go of the chair lift and drop into their arms.
Both sides hit the woodwork before the break, the Latics from a corner that bounced to safety off the far post and Albion through Tom Flanagan's header.
But chances were at a premium with just one shot on target throughout.
The Brewers, who are four points clear, would have restored a six-point lead over second-placed Wigan with a win.
But they remain seven points ahead of third-placed Walsall.
Mark Duffy did force Oldham keeper Joel Coleman to palm away a 20-yard free-kick in the second half.
But the visitors, who still have two games in hand on fifth from bottom Blackpool, were good value for a point.
Burton boss Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby:

"We probably had the best training session yesterday morning that we've had since we arrived, and that worried us because if you're that good on the Friday you're usually not that good on the Saturday.
"It just happens sometimes. You've seen the honesty of the players all season and they're as disappointed as anything.
"But, as I say, it just happens as a footballer sometimes."
Oldham manager John Sheridan told BBC Radio Manchester:

"I think we definitely deserved something out of the game. We looked good.
"We knew the importance of trying to get something from the game so I'm pleased we've come out with something.
"I think a lot of people probably expected us to get beaten but I think we've shown we're a half-decent side."
The musician first worked with the 90-strong Syrian National Orchestra for Arabic Music (SNOAM) eight years ago.
Albarn said: "It's a truly miraculous sound that they create."
Their performance is part of 14-18 now, the UK's arts programme marking the centenary of World War One.
The orchestra first played with Albarn at the Damascus Opera House in 2008.
Albarn worked with them, and principal conductor Issam Rafea, on Gorillaz album White Flag and they toured together in 2010, with shows taking place in Lebanon, Syria and across Europe and North America.
The Royal Festival Hall show on 25 June, presented by Africa Express and featuring other guest performers, will be SNOAM's first concert since Syria descended into war.
Albarn said he found Syria to be an "extraordinary and beautiful country" when he first travelled there to work with Rafea.
"And then Syria changed, almost overnight" he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "Ever since then, I've watched from a distance and felt utterly helpless, wondering about all of the lovely people I've got to know."
Rafea, now based in the US, said the situation in Syria was "beyond our imagination", leading to musicians fleeing the country.
He hopes the music will act as a "universal language" and that he looks forward to "the opportunity to come all together again".
Albarn said of the orchestra: "There's a whole choir, there's strings, there's soloists, there's amazing percussion - it's a really, really dynamic and joyous sound, and it's stayed with me all these years.
"I'm really excited to be able to somehow share that with people.
"And the whole point of this is to get the orchestra back together, to get them working again - just giving some kind of alternative to the prism of the news, which is entirely a negative thing."
International artists have been asked to create new works as part of 14-18 Now's 2016 programme.
Other highlights of the season include:
This year's programme is focusing on the anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
It follows a newspaper investigation that saw Sam Allardyce lose the England manager's job, with agents' roles in transfers also brought into question.
Italian De Laurentiis, 67, who is also a movie producer, said agents "became like a tax" and wanted paying up front.
"In Hollywood, the actor pays [the agent] himself. I don't pay the agent. In soccer, why must I pay?" he said.
De Laurentiis said some transfer deals had fallen through because of disagreements with agents over players' image rights.
"You know, that's a cancer of our domain," he added. "Not every agent. But I don't understand why you need an agent."
However, Mel Stein, outgoing chairman of the Association of Football Agents, believes the same could be said of some club owners and chairmen.
"The fact of the matter is that there are some bad people, but you can't call them a cancer," he said.
"We want to clear it up, and we think we know how."
"The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds," said Larry Finlay of his publishers Transworld.
The author died at home, surrounded by his family, "with his cat sleeping on his bed", he added.
Sir Terry wrote more than 70 books during his career and completed his final book last summer.
He "enriched the planet like few before him" and through Discworld satirised the world "with great skill, enormous humour and constant invention," said Mr Finlay.
"Terry faced his Alzheimer's disease (an 'embuggerance', as he called it) publicly and bravely," said Mr Finlay.
"Over the last few years, it was his writing that sustained him. His legacy will endure for decades to come."
Sir Terry leaves wife Lyn and daughter Rhianna.
The announcement of his death was made on Sir Terry's Twitter account on Thursday afternoon, with Rhianna later writing: "Many thanks for all the kind words about my dad. Those last few tweets were sent with shaking hands and tear-filled eyes."
Despite campaigning for assisted suicide after his diagnosis, Sir Terry's publishers said he did not take his own life.
BBC News correspondent Nick Higham said: "I was told by the publishers his death was entirely natural and unassisted, even though he had said in the past he wanted to go at a time of his own choosing."
70 books
Translated into 37 languages
In a career spanning 44 years
With total sales of 70 million
Fellow author and friend Neil Gaiman was among those paying tribute to Sir Terry, writing on his website: "There was nobody like him. I was fortunate to have written a book with him, when we were younger, which taught me so much."
Gaiman added: "I will miss you, Terry, so much."
Actor Sir Tony Robinson described his friend as a "bit of a contradiction", saying: "He was incredibly flamboyant with his black hat and urban cowboy clothes.
"But he was also very shy, and happiest with his family
"Everybody who reads his work would agree Death was one of his finest creations - Terry in some way has now shaken hands with one of his greatest-ever creations."
Prime Minster David Cameron said: "Sad to hear of Sir Terry Pratchett's death, his books fired the imagination of millions and he fearlessly campaigned for dementia awareness."
The Discworld series - which started in 1983 - was based in a flat world perched on the backs of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the back of a giant turtle.
By 2013, he had written more than 40 instalments.
At the peak of his writing powers, Sir Terry - known for his striking dress sense and large black fedora - was publishing more than three books a year. His quirky and satirical view of the world won him a worldwide following.
At the turn of the century, he was Britain's second most-read author, beaten only by JK Rowling.
In August 2007, it was reported Sir Terry had suffered a stroke, but the following December he announced that he had been diagnosed with a very rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's disease which, he said, "lay behind this year's phantom stroke".
Knighted in 2009, he said: "It would appear to me that me getting up and saying 'I've got Alzheimer's', it did shake people."
"The thing about Alzheimer's is there are few families that haven't been touched by the disease.
"People come up to me and talk about it and burst into tears; there's far more awareness about it and that was really what I hoped was going to happen."
His death was announced on his Twitter account with a tweet composed in capital letters - which was how the author portrayed the character of Death in his novels - read: "AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER."
A fundraising site set up in Sir Terry's memory to raise money for a charity that cares for those with Alzheimer's has already raised thousands of pounds.
Pilot Andre Borschberg brought the vehicle gently down onto the runway at Kalaeloa Airport just before 6am local time (5pm British time).
The distance covered and the time spent in the air - 118 hours - are records for a manned, solar-powered flight.
Meeting the Swiss pilot in Kalaeloa is his partner on the Solar Impulse project, Bertrand Piccard.
The pair are sharing flying duties in their quest to fly around the globe - an effort they began in Abu Dhabi, UAE, back in March.
Mr Piccard will now fly the next leg from Hawaii to Phoenix, USA, which will not be quite as far as the leg just completed, but it will still likely take four days and nights.
The girls, aged 14 to 17, were caught in the blaze at the government-run Virgen de Asuncion shelter last week.
Human rights prosecutor Hilda Morales told the BBC that psychologists were being brought from Costa Rica to help the victims' families and survivors.
Before the tragedy, Ms Morales had recommended the shelter, near Guatemala City, be shut down.
"The tragedy could have been avoided if the authorities had complied with our recommendations from years ago," said Ms Morales of the home in San Jose Pinula.
She said she was determined to bring those responsible to justice and a criminal complaint had been filed.
The tragedy has put a spotlight on alleged failings in Guatemala's child protection services.
The head of the agency has been ordered not to leave the country while investigations continue.
Some Guatemalans are also calling for President Jimmy Morales to resign over the alleged state failings. Thousands protested against him in Guatemala City on Saturday.
There had also been allegations of abuse at the overcrowded centre.
Ms Morales, who is not related to the president, said her office had presented concerns about human rights violations in the home in 2013, and then recommended "concrete steps" to protect the residents.
This was reiterated in November last year when a court order was filed, calling for precautionary measures to be taken.
The Secretariat of Social Welfare (SBS), which ran the school, rejected the accusations and appealed.
The fire is believed to have started after a mattress caught fire, following a riot.
Guatemalan media report that the riot erupted as a result of alleged sexual abuse by staff and frustration with the poor conditions.
Nineteen girls died at the scene, and dozens were taken to hospital with second- and third-degree burns, according to hospital officials.
Four of the surviving burn victims were flown to the US Shriners Hospital for Children in Texas on Saturday for further treatment.
As the home did not have adequate records of the residents, identifying and accounting for the dead and the injured has been hugely problematic, according to local media.
Those who fled were also hard to trace.
Reports say the capacity of the home is 400, but that many more children were living there at the time.
The shelter takes in children up to the age of 18 who have suffered abuse or have been abandoned.
But local media say the shelter was also functioning as a juvenile detention centre, to which judges were sending adolescents involved in criminal cases.
True, the odd big beast like Ken Clarke is still roaming around the parliamentary reservation savaging the occasional Eurosceptic straggler he might come across.
In characteristically robust fashion he took to the airwaves earlier to lambast some of his colleagues who "should obviously be in UKIP" and were pandering to "a wave of hysteria" over immigration. Ouch.
But by and large the pro-Europeans seem an unduly meek and cautious bunch, almost mole-like in their reluctance to come blinking into the daylight.
A far cry from their raucous, self-confident Eurosceptic colleagues, many of whom only have to see a camera to be rushing in front of it.
Which is not to say the pro-European Tories have gone away. Far from it. Most are biding their time. And many of them are as mad as hell at what they see as their party's remorseless drift towards UKIP.
One former pro-European minister noting the relentless pressure on the PM from Eurosceptic Tories observed, only half in jest: "The only thing that would satisfy them is bombing Berlin."
But they have a much more serious concerns than simply trading abuse with the sceptics.
Their fear is that the Conservative Party is being steadily dragged away from the centre ground, the ground on which they argue elections are always won and which David Cameron occupied at the last election.
They also point to the experience of the recent Newark by-election where the Tories - temporarily - halted Nigel Farage's bandwagon by appealing to disaffected Liberal Democrat and Labour voters rather than chasing the UKIP vote.
As one exasperated pro-European minister noted: "Why on earth should anyone bother voting for a pretend UKIP party when they could vote for the real thing?"
The prime minister, they insist, has a good story to tell on the economy, so why is he allowing himself to get sucked into a row about Europe? After all wasn't he the leader who said the party had to stop "banging on about Europe"?
Which begs the question: Why don't the pro-Europeans go public with their concerns? Why don't they take on the sceptics?
Here the pro-Europeans tend to shuffle, look at the ground and become more muted.
Their concern is this. Any public fightback, they fear, would tear the party in two. And divided parties, they argue, do not win elections.
Instead their hopes appear to centre on the Mr Cameron's instincts. They believe, at the end of the day, he accepts that Britain's national self interest is in remaining in the EU.
The Rochester by-election, they say, is a one-off. Mr Cameron has no option but to throw the Eurosceptic kitchen sink at it in order to win.
But afterwards they hope there will be an end to the appeasing of the sceptics.
And if there isn't?
Well, perhaps some of them will have to start taking some lessons from an old bruiser like Ken Clarke.
Ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne has warned of high demand for spaces on its boats on and around the weekend of HebCelt in Stornoway.
The music event is taking place on 19 to 22 July.
CalMac said people taking vehicles across should already have booked and urged foot passengers to do the same.
The company said Sunday 23 July was expected to be one of the busiest days with revellers trying to leave Lewis.
Stornoway Port manager Iain Don MacIver said: "We strongly encourage those planning to journey to and from Stornoway for the weekend of HebCelt, including foot passengers, to book their ferry slots, as soon as possible.
"Sunday is a particularly busy day with festival goers making their way home and it will be essential to have a valid booking for vehicles and passengers that day."
The Waterboys, Imelda May, Lucy Spraggan, Skerryvore, Peatbog Faeries and Dougie MacLean are among this year's HebCelt acts.
The route, which runs from St Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire, was devised in 1973 by fell walker and author Alfred Wainwright.
Campaigners say the walk should be included alongside the 15 designated National Trails, which include the Pennine Way and the Cleveland Way.
Wainwright Society chairman Eric Robson said the walk was a "wonderful route".
The campaign has been backed by Richmond MP Rishi Sunak and BBC presenter Julia Bradbury.
Walkers want the path to have the same prominence and national funding as the existing National Trails, which are looked after by Natural England and Natural Resources Wales.
Mr Sunak said: "The Coast to Coast runs right through the heart of the Richmond constituency and some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK.
"Hundreds of businesses depend on it and official recognition would bring a real boost for the economy of the area.
"This is a walk that was rated as the second best walk in the world in a survey of expert opinion carried out by Country Walking magazine a few years ago and yet it has no official status. This is a real anomaly."
The former Northern Counties Club on Bishop Street is being converted into a 31-bed hotel.
A former bank building on Shipquay Street will be turned into a 20-bed hotel.
Both projects have received funding from the Department for Social Development and Department of Environment.
Work on the building in Shipquay Street is due to be completed in March while its counterpart on Bishop Street is due to open for business later this summer.
It is expected that 65 jobs will be created at the Bishop Street site, which will also have a restaurant, a cookery school and two retail units, and the remaining 12 will be at the Shipquay Street site.
Social Development Minister Mervyn Storey said: "The projects are a major boost to the local economy, providing jobs for the local hospitality sector, as well as the construction jobs needed to undertake the work."
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said the projects were important for investment and tourism.
"Derry's built heritage is a unique attraction for tourists and investors and a source of pride for locals. It is important that we strive together to realise its full potential."
The Canadian, Norwegian and Filipino hostages are being held by Abu Sayyaf, Islamist militant separatists who last week beheaded Canadian John Ridsdel.
In the video, the hostages say if the demands are not met "we will be executed like our friend John".
Abu Sayyaf has previously demanded a multi-million dollar ransom.
The Philippines and Canadian government have said they will not give in to ransom demands. The Philippines has also launched a military operation against the militant group.
Who are the Abu Sayyaf group?
Canadian PM's outrage over hostage killing
Mr Ridsdel was kidnapped from a marina near the city of Davao last September along with another Canadian, Robert Hall, his Filipina partner Marites Flor, and Kjartan Sekkingstad, a Norwegian.
They were taken to an Abu Sayyaf stronghold of the remote island of Jolo where Mr Ridsdel was killed on 25 April after a ransom deadline passed.
Founded in 1991, the Islamist terrorist and separatist group Abu Sayyaf is believed to have only a few hundred armed followers but it has managed to survive numerous assaults by the Philippine army, aided by US military trainers.
Since 2014, when its commanders started swearing allegiance to so-called Islamic State, Abu Sayyaf has intensified its drive to kidnap hostages for multi-million dollar ransoms, mimicking the practices of Islamist terror groups in the Middle East by issuing hostage plea videos with threats of beheading.
In the past, one of the most successful, if controversial, hostage mediations was carried out in 2000 by the late Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi, when he bought the freedom of six western hostages for a reported million dollars a head.
The large sums of money involved both then and since have led to accusations that Abu Sayyaf are really more interested in money than religion but their link to IS, however tenuous, appears to have only increased their fanaticism.
The new video, reported on Tuesday by the SITE Intelligence Group which monitors jihadist media, showed the three hostages with six gunmen standing behind them.
A masked militant warns Canada and the Philippines that the three remaining hostages would be killed "if you procrastinate once again".
Mr Hall is shown saying the governments were being ordered to "meet the demand" of the kidnappers, without giving further details.
He also asked the Philippines government to "stop shooting at us and trying to kill us. These guys are going to do a good job of that."
Mr Sekkingstad says that "if the demand is not met we will be executed like our friend John was a few days ago".
Ms Flor is seen pleading with several Philippines officials and candidates in the upcoming national election, saying "we want to be freed alive", the AFP news agency reports.
Abu Sayyaf is a fragmented but violent militant group with its roots in the Islamist separatist insurgency in the southern Philippines. Several of its factions have aligned themselves with the so-called Islamic State.
It has repeatedly taken hostages over the years but has often released them in exchange for ransoms.
On Sunday, the group released 10 Indonesian sailors they had been holding for five weeks.
It is still holding several captives, including a group of eight Malaysians and Indonesians seized from boats and a Dutch birdwatcher taken in 2012.

Tomas Osmena said he would pay policemen $1,060 (£730) for each criminal killed and $106 for each one wounded, in an attempt to instil fear.
He has already rewarded an off-duty policeman who shot and injured two suspects when he came across a robbery.
The mayor's comments echo those of the incoming President, Rodrigo Duterte, who has promised to wipe out crime.
Mr Osmena, who won the mayoral elections two weeks ago, emphasised that any killing must be legal, with a licensed gun.
He gave as an example a robbery where civilians might come to the rescue and shoot the robber.
"What is important is that the robbers will be scared," he said. "I am just giving them a warning."
Police officer Julius Sadaya Regis was off duty when he chanced upon a robbery.
As the three robbers fled, Mr Regis shot two of them and duly received his reward from the mayor.
Mr Osmena said he did not care if the reward would encourage vigilantes.
"I will not compromise the safety of our people," he said. "I will defend them. I don't care who gets in the way."
Mr Osmena's pledge comes after Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte won the Philippine presidential elections on 9 May, largely on a controversial anti-crime platform, vowing to kill tens of thousands of criminals.
Since winning the election, Mr Duterte has also said he will bring back the death penalty, with hanging as his preferred method of execution.
His record as the crime-crushing mayor of the southern town of Davao, once notorious for its lawlessness, earned him the name The Punisher, as well as many voters.
On Thursday, Philippine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao was sworn in as a senator, after being elected to the upper house in elections earlier this month.
He said he supported President Duterte's plans to impose the death penalty.
"Actually God allows this in the Bible," he told reporters.
The charity said there were a further six confirmed or probable cases in the town of Isiro.
The outbreak, involving the Bundibugyo strain, was first reported last week after one person had died.
Last month an outbreak of a more deadly ebola strain in neighbouring Uganda killed 16 people.
The DR Congo outbreak occurred in Oriental province, which shares a border with Uganda.
Medicins sans Frontieres (MSF) has said that the two outbreaks may not be related.
It is not clear when exactly the deaths in Isiro occurred.
A medical coordinator for MSF, Anja de Weggheleire, told the BBC the Bundibugyo strain was still dangerous, if less fatal than the one detected in Uganda.
"It is normally less mortal and less virulent then the one we have seen in other places... But still it stays a very dangerous and mortal disease... we expect normally figures around 25 to 35% mortality," Ms Weggheleire said.
The charity says its staff in the affected area in north-east DR Congo are taking measures to locate and isolate anyone who has been in contact with those infected.
Experts have said that Isiro's position as a transit point could make an outbreak more challenging to control.
The virus, which is transmitted to humans from both monkeys and birds, causes massive internal bleeding and has a very high mortality rate.
It is one of the most virulent diseases in the world and is spread by close personal contact.
There is no vaccine for the virus and symptoms of infection include a sudden onset of fever, weakness, headache, vomiting and kidney problems.
Web users in Cuba are being diverted to another website, which accuses Ms Sanchez of having hidden political interests.
Ms Sanchez said her website, called 14ymedio, would provide daily news about the communist-run country.
She insisted it would not be a platform against the government.
But web users in Cuba reported that they were being diverted to a website calling itself "yoani$landia", which accuses Ms Sanchez of being "obsessed with money".
"This website is from a group of people who had enough of seeing Yoani Sanchez presenting herself as the Mother Teresa of Calcutta of Cuban dissidents," says an article on the site.
It adds that Ms Sanchez is "probably the richest Cuban on the island" and is funded by Spanish and Brazilian media outfits.
The editors of yoani$landia do not identify themselves, but they are believed to be Cuban government officials.
Cuban media, including the country's three national newspapers, are under strict state control.
But President Raul Castro has eased restrictions on dissidents in recent years, allowing opponents of the government - including Sanchez - to travel abroad.
In her blog published in the online paper's first edition, Sanchez says 14ymedio has been an obsession for her for more than four years.
She says she wants the paper to "contribute information so that Cubans can decide with more maturity their own destinies".
Its first edition also features a report from a Havana hospital, describing the work of nurses and other staff on night duty and the victims of violence they attend to.
It also showcases a lengthy interview with jailed opposition writer Angel Santiesteban.
But not all its contents is of a political nature.
There is also advice on how to deal with dry or damaged hair and a sports feature on why Cuban football is getting less coverage and state backing than baseball.
Sanchez achieved international recognition with her prize-winning blog Generation Y, in which she criticised the restrictions on freedom of speech and movement imposed on the island since the 1959 revolution.
The Scots have not won a game in this tournament since 2010.
They have failed to score a single point in 15 of the 25 matches played in the subsequent five championships.
Their points difference stands at 67 for - an average of 2.68 per match, less than a penalty or drop-goal - and 1,061 against.
They have breached their opponents' try-line eight times. Eight tries in 25 games.
If Scotland's men have swum against the tide in recent Six Nations, the women have been kayaking into a tsunami.
Playing catch-up against its international counterparts, Scottish Rugby channelled a portion of its £20m 2014 BT sponsorship into recruiting Sheila Begbie, successful in a similar role with the Scottish Football Association, to head up and restructure the female game.
A year later, Shade Munro, the former Scotland and Glasgow Warriors assistant coach, was appointed to marshal things on the training paddock.
Munro is around seven months into his new role and paints the picture of a pitifully constrained Scotland, labouring merely to cross the start line as their rivals hare off down the track.
"Even speaking to the other [Six Nations] coaches, they're much further down the road than we are," he says.
"They're certainly better-resourced in terms of personnel, money; they have professional players.
"We're still very much amateur; still very much stuck in that amateur culture and ethos. That stems from the club game in Scotland.
"The SRU have done well introducing academies - the difference in players involved in academies and those that aren't is marked. It's just constantly banging that drum really."
This will be as challenging a project as Munro will ever undertake in coaching given how far the set-up is from even the most modest of professional environs.
"When you're a professional coach you know exactly what you're doing every day, the resources are there - it's actually quite easy," he explains.
"This is a different way of coaching, which is actually a good thing.
"My perception when I came in was that the women players weren't very good, they didn't really train that hard. For the last five years, they haven't won a game in the Six Nations, so what are the reasons for that?
"I thought it must be the players themselves. That perception was totally wrong. It's not the players at all - they're hard-working, they have a real desire to succeed, they're willing to learn, they're really coachable.
"It's just not been properly resourced. There aren't that many players in Scotland, which is another reason, but partly the gap is growing because the other teams are moving on down the professional route and we aren't."
Munro has to peel away all the intricacies of coaching elite teams, immerse himself in the realities of his new surroundings.
The old Warriors playbook has been slid back on to its shelf for now and the process of gradually bettering his players, step by punishing step, is underway.
"I started by looking at last year's Six Nations and it's pretty obvious what needs to be worked on," he says.
"Upskilling the players, getting them fitter, improving their all-round skills, getting them to enjoy playing again.
"I'm not saying they didn't enjoy playing last year, but you imagine losing every game, every time you put a Scotland jersey on, it's very tough.
"It's building their confidence back up, allowing them to try things rather than them being scared to do so, pointing out things they're good at."
The towering ex-lock, with seven Scotland caps to his name, will not burden his players with undue emphasis on results in this year's tournament.
Their campaign begins with a Calcutta Cup duel on Friday evening against a visiting England team that has dipped since lifting the 2014 World Cup, but still stuck eight tries past the Scots a year ago.
"That's not the way to coach them at the moment," he says. "What I'm trying to do is break the game down into compartments - defence, set piece, attack, contact - and refer back to that.
"If you succeed in all those areas, you'll win games. So when you don't win games, one, maybe two of those areas you haven't achieved - that's what you then focus on.
"If I can improve them, which I have no doubt I will, and if they can get a win, then fantastic," he adds.
"That may be a time coming, but you never know."

The Reds have been heavily linked with the 18-year-old midfielder, who has hugely impressed Rodgers.
"I read we had put in a bid or something had been agreed but there has been nothing," said the Liverpool boss.
"I think he is a wonderful young talent who just needs to play football and for me he is probably at the best place he could be."
He added: "I don't normally comment on speculation but [I will] because I have the interest of the player at heart."
Hughes, who came through the ranks at Derby, scored in England U21's 9-0 win over San Marino in midweek.
"This is a very talented young player that either a person or a group of people aren't doing him any favours whatsoever by constantly linking him with coming to Liverpool," said Rodgers.
"This is a young kid learning the game - he is at an outstanding club at Derby, he has a great manager there and we sent one of our young players [Andre Wisdom] there to develop and learn."
Hughes, who joined the Rams from local rivals Nottingham Forest at the age of 12, made his first team debut in November 2011 as a 16-year-old.
So far this season he has made 18 appearances for the Championship side, scoring four goals.
A protection detail of heavily armed commandos met him after his plane from Dubai touched down in Karachi airport. A mass rally in the city was cancelled.
General Musharraf plans to lead his party in the May general election.
Meanwhile, 17 soldiers were killed by a suicide bomber in the north-west of Pakistan overnight.
They were attacked at a security checkpoint in the tribal region of North Waziristan, close to the Afghan border and a known stronghold of the Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked militants.
A recent Taliban video threatened Gen Musharraf with snipers and suicide bombers.
By Orla GuerinBBC News, Karachi
Gen Musharraf moved through the aisles of the plane - greeting supporters, shaking hands and having his photo taken to the bemusement of regular passengers.
There were chaotic scenes with journalists scrambling over seats as the journey became a mini campaign rally.
Gen Musharraf told the BBC he felt emotional about returning to Pakistan, but he said he had mixed feelings because of the risk to himself and his supporters.
When the plane landed, his supporters on board cheered and shouted "Long live Pervez Musharraf".
He faces a string of charges including conspiracy to murder, but on Friday the Pakistani authorities granted him protective bail in several outstanding cases, freeing him from immediate arrest once he sets foot in Pakistan.
One of the charges is that he failed to provide adequate security for opposition leader Benazir Bhutto after she returned from exile in 2007.
Two deadly explosions, in which nearly 140 people died, greeted her arrival in Karachi on 19 October. She was killed that December at a rally in Rawalpindi.
About 1,500 Musharraf supporters gathered near the airport in Karachi, the BBC's Orla Guerin reports.
Earlier, the former leader, 69, tweeted a photo of himself aboard the plane, writing: "Settled in my seat on the plane to begin my journey home. Pakistan First!"
In Dubai, the smiling general told our correspondent the event felt like a wedding party.
A group of about 200 supporters and journalists saw off the former military ruler - including party members from the UK, Canada, Switzerland and the US.
Some of the general's supporters wore white armbands saying they were ready to give their lives for him.
The planned mass rally in Karachi was called off because the authorities had withdrawn permission.
The former military leader has lived in London and Dubai since stepping down five years ago. He left Pakistan in 2009.
He has vowed to return several times in the past, but those previous attempts have been abandoned.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack in North Waziristan, in which 34 soldiers were reportedly also injured.
A car packed with explosives blew up next to a pair of fuel tankers at the check post, intelligence officials told AP news agency on condition of anonymity.
The blast set the tankers on fire and nearby military living areas were destroyed, they said.
Janan Dawar, an eyewitness who lives about 14km (nine miles) away from the checkpoint, said he had heard a huge explosion and had seen flames leap into the air.
Three civilians were also injured.
It appears that most of the soldiers targeted had been working in road construction, part of the army's strategy for winning hearts and minds locally. | London may be one of the most expensive cities in the world for tourists, but not if you are after a Louis Vuitton handbag.

BBC Sport's Marc Higginson has put together a little quiz to get the grey matter ticking over. Good luck!
Taulupe Faletau, George North and Jamie Roberts were the three wildcards - players based outside Wales - included in their squad for the November Tests.
That meant Priestland was omitted.
Asked if he had considered the national selection policy before re-signing for Bath, the 30-year-old former Scarlets fly-half said: "No, not really."
Priestland added he had not spoken to anyone in Wales about the possibility of returning to play for one of the nation's four regional teams.
"I'm settled up here," he said. "I enjoy playing in this league. I enjoy living in Bath, so for me it would be my preferred option to stay up here.
"And thankfully they wanted me to stay as well."
Priestland joined Bath after the 2015 World Cup, later reversing his decision to take a sabbatical from Wales internationals.
In October, he backed the Welsh Rugby Union's selection policy, and said he expected to be omitted from their autumn games against Australia, Argentina, Japan and South Africa.
Priestland's season has been disrupted by injury, but he says he has "loved his time" at Bath.
He added: "It's competitive every week and it's all different challenges.
"You're playing in front of good crowds and good teams and the standard's very good in this league as well.
"When they offered me a contract it wasn't a tough decision to make."
Bath are fourth in the Premiership but have lost their past three matches - to Wasps, Exeter and Newcastle.
Priestland said: "Everyone here is excited about the direction the club is going. Everyone's impressed by the coaches.
"I know it dropped off a little bit recently, but you can still see some improvement in the way we're playing.
"If we can sort a few things out, I'm sure we'll go back to challenging for the top of the table and hopefully we can do that for the next few years as well."
Mr Sutton, from Llantwit Major, was reported missing on Tuesday morning.
South Wales Police said the body was discovered in a field near St Donats on Wednesday at 16:20 GMT.
Formal identification is yet to take place. The family of Mr Sutton have been informed.
The UN's human rights office said streets were full of bodies.
Meanwhile, the UN children's agency cited a doctor as saying a building housing as many as 100 unaccompanied children was under heavy attack.
Rebels, who have held east Aleppo for four years, are on the brink of defeat.
Thousands of people are reportedly trapped in the last remaining neighbourhoods still in rebel hands, facing intense bombardment as pro-government troops advance.
The Syrian government's ally Russia, which has rejected calls for a humanitarian truce, earlier said any atrocities were "actually being committed by terrorist groups", meaning rebel forces.
Rebel officials said on Tuesday that an agreement had been reached to evacuate civilians and fighters from besieged areas but there has been no confirmation from the Syrian government or Russia.
The UN Security Council will discuss the situation in Aleppo later on Tuesday.
"We're filled with the deepest foreboding for those who remain in this last hellish corner" of eastern Aleppo, UN human rights office spokesman Rupert Colville told a news conference.
He said that 82 civilians had reportedly been killed by pro-government forces, of whom 11 were women and 13 children, adding that the death toll could be much higher.
"Yesterday evening, we received further deeply disturbing reports that numerous bodies were lying on the streets," Mr Colville added, while admitting it was hard to verify the reports.
"The residents were unable to retrieve them due to the intense bombardment and their fear of being shot on sight."
Meanwhile, Unicef quoted a doctor in the city as saying: "Many children, possibly more than 100, unaccompanied or separated from their families, are trapped in a building, under heavy attack in east Aleppo".
Ibrahim abu-Laith, a spokesman for the White Helmets volunteer rescue group, said 90% of their equipment was out of operation and only one medical point was still working in the besieged areas. There was no first aid equipment left, he added.
He said volunteers were using their hands to pull people out of rubble, but some 70 people were stuck and could not be extracted.
It is hard to know exactly how many people are in the besieged areas, although one US official with knowledge of efforts to secure safe passage for people in the city told the BBC that there were around 50,000 people.
Other local sources say there could be as many as 100,000, with people arriving from areas recently taken by the government.

The 'final goodbyes' from Aleppo
Russia's military says 98% of the city is now back in government hands.
According to the AFP news agency, the rebels have control of just a handful of neighbourhoods, including Sukkari and Mashhad.
The Syrian army's Lt Gen Zaid al-Saleh said on Monday that the battle "should end quickly", telling the rebels they "either have to surrender or die".
The UK-based monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), has also said the battle for Aleppo had reached its end, with "just a matter of a small period of time" before "a total collapse".
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was alarmed by the reports of atrocities and had instructed his special envoy to Syria to "follow up urgently with the parties concerned".
France and the UK requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council for Tuesday to discuss "the worst humanitarian tragedy of the 21st Century unfolding before our eyes," AFP quoted ambassador Francois Delattre as saying. The meeting will be held at 17:00 GMT.
The UN's humanitarian adviser on Syria, Jan Egeland, earlier spoke of "massacres of unarmed civilians, of young men, of women, children, health workers".
He named a pro-government Iraqi Shia militia as being responsible for the killings, but placed overall blame for any atrocities in the hands of the Syrian and Russian governments.
"Those who let them loose in this area are also accountable," he said.
In response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Mr Egeland was not in full possession of the facts on the ground. "If he did, he would be paying attention to the atrocities that are actually being committed by terrorist groups," he said.
For much of the past four years, Aleppo has been divided roughly in two, with the government controlling the western half and rebels the east.
Syrian troops finally broke the deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes, reinstating a siege on the east in early September and launching an all-out assault weeks later.
By lunchtime, the five biggest losers on the FTSE 100 were all mining firms, led by BHP Billiton, which sank by 5.6%.
Overall, the benchmark 100-share index was down 91.37 points or 1.49% at 6,045.87.
Investor sentiment remains fragile amid fears over the health of the Chinese economy, a big consumer of commodities.
Shares across the globe fell sharply on Monday after trading in China was halted early when its main indexes fell 7%, triggering "circuit breakers".
Chinese shares extended their losses on Tuesday, but headed higher on Wednesday, with the Shanghai Composite index closing 2.3% up.
Anglo American and Rio Tinto were 4.8% and 4.5% lower respectively, while Antofagasta shed 4.3% and Glencore lost 3.5%.
Among the risers on the FTSE 100, Sainsbury's made early gains but was just 0.04% up at lunchtime, having fallen 5.2% the previous day.
The supermarket giant's loss on Tuesday followed news that it had made an unsuccessful bid approach for Home Retail Group.
On the currency markets, the pound slipped by 0.16% against the dollar to $1.4653 and by 0.18% against the euro to €1.3626.
After resuming on 139-0, openers Daryl Mitchell and Brett D'Oliveira extended their first-wicket partnership to 215.
But Mitchell (121) and D'Oliveira (80) went in quick succession as, stung by the second new ball, the visitors lost all 10 wickets for 97, all out for 312.
Second time around, Worcestershire are on 124-4, with Mitchell gone for 54, still trailing Sussex by 143 runs.
After their second double-century opening stand in three matches, Worcestershire still looked well set on 228-3 at lunch, despite another cheap dismissal for Tom Fell.
But, when Sussex took the new ball, the hosts' multi-national attack suddenly looked a different proposition.
Jofra Archer (4-91) and Vernon Philander (3-72) were the main protagonists as, coupled with some uneven bounce, the last seven wickets went down for 52 runs inside 15 overs.
Mitchell now has 534 runs from his last five innings in three matches but it will not prevent Worcestershire's six-game winning run in the Championship, going back to last season, coming to an end.
Sussex and England all-rounder Chris Jordan told BBC Sussex:
"It has been a brilliant day for us. Even when their openers were putting on 215 we created chances but once David Wiese got us the breakthrough with two quick wickets we never looked back.
"We just needed that bit of luck. With the bowlers we've got we knew we could get enough out of the wicket and run through them and that's what happened.
"When they followed on, it was pretty similar and to get Daryl Mitchell out again just before the close was very important. It has given us an end to attack."
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"Our two openers toiled manfully at times and also took the opportunity to score runs. They batted really well but we lost three wickets before lunch.
"Then it became increasingly difficult for new batsmen to come in for two reasons. The Sussex bowlers produced a really good effort and the pitch started to go up and down a bit.
"You have to give Sussex's bowlers credit. They bowled well and have really turned up this game but we are still fighting. Any runs we can get that give us a lead are going to be worth double."
Firefighters were called to the property in Kerr Drive at 16:30 on Saturday.
The women was taken to hospital for treatment but later died from her injuries. A 78-year-old man was treated for smoke inhalation at Glasgow Royal Infirmary then released.
A police spokesman said all other staff and residents were accounted for.
He said the blaze was "not thought to be suspicious at this time".
Seven residents had to be temporarily accommodated at a nearby care home.
A joint investigation with the fire service is under way to establish the exact cause.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "Four fire appliances were immediately mobilised to the scene.
"Firefighters put out a fire within a room of the property."
A staff member at the care home head office said no one was available to comment.
Gloucester meet Stade Francais on Friday, a year on from Scott's final appearance for Edinburgh.
"Whenever you move from somewhere, you wonder whether you've made the right decision," Scott told BBC Points West.
"But having the chance to run out at Murrayfield will vindicate my move. I'm desperate to be involved."
Scott suffered a hamstring injury on Six Nations duty with Scotland and was out for two months, only making his return in Saturday's 34-20 defeat by Exeter.
But the 26-year-old, who has scored 13 tries in 24 appearances for Gloucester, is pleased to be fit for the showpiece final, having missed a chunk of last season with injuries.
"It's the same with all these big games - if you're not involved it's a horrible feeling watching from the sidelines, so I feel incredibly lucky to be fit at this time of the season for a change," he added.
Gloucester finished ninth in the Premiership but know victory over Stade Francais will open up a route to the Champions Cup, as they will go into the play-offs instead of seventh-placed Northampton.
Director of rugby David Humphreys said: "Everybody is well aware of the significance of this game and winning a trophy, but also of the potential to still achieve what we set out at the start of the year to do, which was to qualify for the Champions Cup.
"The players are looking forward to trying to finish our season, which has been a little bit disappointing up to now, on a high.
"Knowing the quality of the team that Stade Francais will put out, we've got to be at our best again and make sure that now we've got this far, we go on and win the competition."
Southside With You recreates the summer afternoon in 1989 when the future US president wooed his future First Lady, then Michelle Robinson, in Chicago.
Other films in the line-up include Swiss Army Man, a road movie in which Daniel Radcliffe plays a corpse.
Sundance's 2016 edition runs from 21 to 31 January in Park City, Utah.
The annual cinema showcase was founded by actor Robert Redford to promote independent movie-making.
Ellen Page, Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss and pop singer Nick Jonas are among the established names who appear in other films featured in the programme.
The event will open on 21 January with Other People, a film about a struggling comedy writer who returns to his childhood home to care for his sick mother.
This year's festival will see US actors Nate Parker and Clea DuVall unveil their feature directorial debuts, respectively entitled The Birth of a Nation and The Intervention.
The former is a biopic of Nat Turner, the leader of an 1831 slave revolt in Virginia, while the latter tells of friends who join forces to "save" a couple's marriage.
Documentaries included in the line-up include films about James Foley, the US journalist killed by the so-called Islamic State in 2014, and another about the Sandy Hook shootings of December 2012.
The world documentary strand, meanwhile, will host the premiere of The Lovers and the Despot, a British film about a South Korean director and actress who claimed to have been kidnapped by North Korean dictator and cinephile Kim Jong-il.
"From diverse backgrounds, places and perspectives, these independent artists are united by the power of their stories and vision," said Redford in a statement.
"Their films will soon launch onto the global stage, beginning their journeys through our culture. A new year in independent film will start right here - on the mountain - in January."
Recent success stories to have made their debuts at Sundance include Beasts of the Southern Wild, Fruitvale Station and 2015 Oscar-winner Whiplash.
The case was triggered when authorities in Kempten, southern Germany, refused to let a local firm export cattle to Uzbekistan in Central Asia.
EU rules say cattle must get a rest period of at least one hour, with food and water, after 14 hours of travel.
The court has made it clear that those rules include travel in non-EU states.
On longer journeys the animals must be unloaded and have a 24-hour rest with food and water, after another 14 hours of travel.
The cattle transport by German firm Zuchtvieh-Export GmbH would have involved more than five days of travel in non-EU countries.
The company's journey log had not specified rest points for the cattle during the 7,000km (4,340-mile) journey across former Soviet countries.
Under the ECJ ruling, authorities can now demand inclusion of those welfare provisions in the journey log for live animal transports that leave the EU.
An ECJ press release said that "the requirements relating to watering and feeding intervals and duration of journeys and resting periods also apply to those stages of the transport taking place outside the EU".
EU-wide rules on protection of animals during transport were adopted in 2004 and further legislation was added later.
A British Liberal Democrat MEP, Catherine Bearder, said EU animal welfare law had helped reduce unnecessary suffering during live transports, but "too often these rules are callously ignored, including when animals are shipped further afield".
"Today's ruling should encourage us to ensure EU laws on animal transport are properly enforced, both at home and abroad."
New pensioners are now allowed to take a maximum of £30,000 from their pension savings as a lump sum, up from £18,000.
This is an interim arrangement before full flexibility over pension savings takes effect next April.
However, there are fears that some new retirees will take the wrong decisions owing to a lack of advice.
The changes mean:
The government said that about 400,000 people would have more options in the next 12 months when it came to accessing their pension savings as a result of the changes. The changes affect those with defined contribution pensions.
From next April, the overhaul will go further, giving retirees complete control over what they do with their pension savings.
There has been criticism from the insurance industry, which said that Chancellor George Osborne had only given them 10 days to prepare for the changes.
Huw Evans, of the Association of British Insurers (ABI), said there was particular concern over the the rules for those who had bought an "irreversible" annuity - an annual pension income for the rest of their life - just before the chancellor's announcement.
"Insurers remain committed to working with each other closely to help customers who wish to exercise their 'cooling-off' rights but needs the government to do its part to recognise the urgency of clarifying the post-Budget situation it has created," he said.
Joanne Segars, chief executive of the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), said that it would be a huge undertaking to organise good quality guidance, as promised by the chancellor, in time for April next year.
She said that people needed help and support when making major decisions about financing their retirement.
This guarantee of guidance will not be in place in time for those making decisions under the new temporary rules over the next 12 months.
One woman held up a sign reading "develop a conscience", while another shouted that the firm was creating "machines that kill people".
The yearly Google I/O event is a chance for the firm to show off its latest products and plans.
Google could not be reached for comment about the interruptions.
Away from the event, at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, another group of people were reportedly arrested in a separate incident regarding the ongoing "net neutrality" debate.
Google launched this year's event with a keynote presentation lasting about two hours.
During a segment explaining an enhanced battery-saving feature on a forthcoming software release, a protester could be heard shouting the name of Jack Halprin, a Google lawyer.
Mr Halprin has been at the centre of a row involving tenants living in a residential block he purchased.
The protester held a sign saying "stop Jack Halprin from evicting SF teachers".
On stage, Google engineer David Burke attempted to deflect attention from the disturbance by jokingly suggesting the better battery life would come in useful during a "long protest".
Later during the same keynote address, a man was removed by security staff shortly after shouting "you all work for a totalitarian company that builds robots that kill people".
Last year, Google acquired Boston Dynamics, a company that had previously developed sophisticated robotics for the US military.
Google said at the time that it would honour existing contracts Boston Dynamics had with the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa).
Over the past year there has been increased friction between long-time San Francisco residents and what some have dubbed the "Silicon Valley tech elite".
Buses used to shuttle Google employees from residential areas to the company's campus have become a target for anger - with some protesters standing in the vehicles' way. In some cases buses have been vandalised.
San Francisco locals said they were concerned that an increase in the numbers of wealthy technology workers was driving up the cost of living in the city.
Google will be keen to make sure the focus remains on its new announcements at I/O, of which there were many.
Aside from a closer look at new smartwatch hardware, the company was excited to show off major updates to its Android operating system, which has had a visual refresh.
One feature that impressed the audience was smarter phone unlocking - if a handset owner's paired smartwatch is detected nearby, the phone will not require a password to unlock it.
Google's agenda-setting conference is ostensibly aimed squarely at developers - but while there were no great surprises, there was plenty to interest users too.
Android already has impressive market share in developing markets - but with overall smartphone adoption running at just 10%, Android One is a way for Google to consolidate its presence by delivering users affordable hardware and an up-to-date Google-supported software experience; in the process it delivers a blow to rivals including Microsoft.
But its renewed attempt at capturing the living room TV will be a harder nut to crack - the market is more crowded than it was when it launched its first disastrous foray with Google TV four years ago.
Lots of users already have capable set-top boxes, many TV makers (notably Samsung) have already established their own interfaces or partnerships, and others (like Logitech) have sour memories of their failed partnership.
Similarly, Google has yet to move convincingly into enterprise; despite walling-off business data and enhanced security, many IT administrators will take some convincing to adopt a platform which has become synonymous with malware.
With so many software products across multiple devices - from PCs, mobile and the living room to new arenas like our cars, and even our wrists - it is little surprise that Google is aiming for greater consistency between them.
The cleaner and unifying "material design" in the new version of Android will help deliver a slicker experience. It should help shed Android's reputation as a disjointed and chaotic experience, and maybe - just maybe - give some Apple users pause for thought.
Google also used the event to unveil Android TV. The platform is designed to work on big screens, and can be controlled by items such as a person's smartphone, games controller or, eventually, smartwatch.
"We're giving TV the same level of attention that phones and tablets have enjoyed," said Mr Burke, on stage.
Sony, Sharp and TP Vision - which manufactures Philips' products - will all release smart TVs using Google's software.
Google has attempted to get stuck into the TV market several times before with little success - although its most recent TV-related launch, the Chromecast, has been well-received by consumers.
Also shown off at the event was Android Auto, the company's attempt to get its software into the dashboards of popular cars.
The mostly voice-activated system is being experimented with by car makers including Ford, Honda, Audi and Volkswagen - but should not be confused with Google's continued efforts to create a driverless car.
The firm's new Google Fit service hopes to provide a central place for people to track all the health data gathered from fitness apps. The system has the likes of Nike and Adidas on board.
Android One is at the other end of the tech spectrum - the scaled back software is designed to work on phones used primarily in the developing world.
Absent from the keynote speech were any significant developments involving Google Glass eyewear or the firm's social network, Google+.
As is typical at the developer event, those in attendance were all given free devices.
One item this year was a cardboard box which could be folded into a makeshift virtual reality headset - a playful joke aimed at Facebook, which acquired virtual reality outfit Oculus VR earlier this year for about $2bn (£1.2bn).
Details of Google's slightly less expensive do-it-yourself hardware were posted online.

Sub Lt Jeffrey Delisle admitted selling Canadian and Nato intelligence to Russia for $3,000 (£1,875) a month.
He worked at top secret Canadian naval military facilities and had clearance to intelligence-sharing systems linked to countries such as the US and UK.
For nearly four years he copied secret information onto memory sticks to share with his handlers in Moscow.
He apparently walked into the Russian embassy in Ottawa in 2007 to volunteer his services, and was arrested in January.
The case has resulted in severe and irreparable damage to Canada's relationship with its allies, a Nova Scotia provincial court heard on Wednesday.
the BBC's Lee Carter in Toronto says the 41-year-old's guilty plea came as a surprise. It means a publication ban has been lifted allowing details from the case to be published for the first time.
At a bail hearing in March, portions of a police statement were read out in which he reportedly described the day he walked into the embassy as "professional suicide".
"The day I flipped sides... from that day on, that was the end of my days as Jeff Delisle," said the statement.
He is expected to be sentenced in January and could face anything from five years to life in prison.
Suspicions were raised when Delisle returned in 2011 from a four-day trip to Brazil - where he had met a Russian handler - with several thousands dollars in cash.
That prompted the involvement of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who broke into an email account he shared with his handlers.
He is the first Canadian to be convicted under the country's Security of Information Act, passed by parliament after the 11 September attacks on the US.
Delisle joined the navy as a reservist in 1996, became a member of the regular forces in 2001 and was promoted to an officer rank in 2008.
He reportedly worked for a unit that tracked vessels entering and exiting Canadian waters, with access to information shared by the Five Eyes community that includes Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
Canada's military has not revealed any details about any information disclosed to the Russians.
Mike Taylor, for the defence, said his client had never put any Canadian troops in danger.
"There was no information that indicated where troops were or ships were," he told the Associated Press news agency.
Eyeo - the maker of AdBlock Plus - plans to set up an "independent board" that will inspect which ads it allows to circumvent its technology.
The move coincides with its launch of an extension for iPhones.
It also comes the day after Eyeo successfully defended itself against Germany's biggest publisher.
One expert said that it was too early to know how much of a difference the latest move would make, but added that many leading website operators were unlikely to be swayed by it.
"They're commercial enterprises and they want to make as much money as they can," said Ian Maude from the research firm Enders Analysis.
"But I do sympathise with the ad-blockers and internet users to the extent that you are now seeing vast volumes of data being gathered about people's behaviour without their express permission via trackers used by advertisers, and that's not a desirable outcome."
In a nutshell, the term covers a variety of technologies used to prevent adverts appearing on internet-connected devices.
They are already widely used on PCs, where the most common technique is to install a browser plug-in, but until recently were relatively rare on smartphones and tablets.
Once installed, web pages should be decluttered of distracting content.
Pages should also load more quickly, mobile data allowances should come under less strain and mobile device batteries can also last longer between charges.
However, one consequence is that websites can see a drop in revenues, causing them to start charging for content or paying for technologies that frustrate the ad-blockers' efforts.
Eyeo has faced criticism because of its business model: it provides its plug-ins to the public free, but charges publishers and websites a fee for "support services" to help them ensure certain ads get through.
To qualify, the ads cannot be "annoying" or "intrusive". For example, pop-ups and ads that automatically start playing sounds cannot qualify for AdBlock Plus's whitelist.
Google, Amazon and Microsoft are among those reported to have paid the Cologne-based firm.
However, several German publishers resisted and attempted to sue the firm, claiming it was "a constitutional right of the press to advertise".
On Tuesday, Axel Springer became the latest company to have its case rejected by the courts.
It was the fifth legal action of its kind. Eyeo's latest move may help it head off further legal battles.
Eyeo says it hopes to have the new review board in place by the end of next year, and eventually plans to give it full control over the whitelist's rules.
"Users determined the original criteria and can object in our forum to whitelisting proposals - but since we were the only ad-blocker to offer such a compromise, we have taken on a large role in the day-to-day maintenance of the criteria," said AdBlock Plus's co-founder Till Faida in a statement.
"We have been looking for a way to make the Acceptable Ads programme completely independent while also updating the criteria to evolve with changing forms of online advertising.
"An independent board solves both issues."
In addition, she highlighted that only a minority of the 700 publishers and websites currently on AdBlock Plus' whitelist had paid it money. She put the figure at about 10%.
Mr Maude noted that did not necessarily mean the two things were unrelated.
"Every company that pays Eyeo is on the whitelist, so there clearly is a connection between paying and being whitelisted," he said.
The launch of Eyeo's extension for the Safari web browsers on iPhones and iPads follows Apple's decision to allow such plug-ins to work in iOS 9.
The mobile operating system was released earlier this month, and several other smaller start-ups have already launched ad-blocking plug-ins of their own.
One of the most popular services, Peace, was pulled shortly after its release, when its developer said he did not feel good about being "the arbiter of what's blocked".
A leading alternative, Crystal, instead shares use of Eyeo's whitelist. Like Adblock Plus, it also allows customers to opt out of the list and block ads altogether.
Some organisations have taken steps to discourage the use of the technology.
The news site Cnet has prevented some of its content from being viewable when it detected ads were being blocked.
And the Interactive Advertising Bureau has announced plans to offer smaller publishers a script that lets them detect consumers using ad-blocking tech as well.
The IAB added that it was also exploring legal action of its own.
Officers said it was out of character for the girl from Stockton, who is of British Pakistani origin, to go missing.
She was last seen on Thursday in Cromwell Avenue and there was concern for her welfare.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman confirmed she was found on Saturday evening.
The Christian Democrat who led two governments in the 1970s passed away at his home in Edegem, near Antwerp.
In the 1979 European election, he won 983,000 votes, still a record for any election in Belgium.
The president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, paid tribute to him as a "great European".
In the European Parliament, the European People's Party group he once chaired said that it was "deeply saddened" by the death of Tindemans.
His Christian Democratic and Flemish party paid tribute (in Dutch) on its website to an "exceptional statesman who embodied politics for an entire generation".

Pay-monthly customers can get one share - now worth $43.07 - with the chance of more for referring new customers.
"This has never been done before," by a public company, claimed chief executive John Legere.
T-Mobile, the third biggest US network after Verizon and AT&T, has a reputation for innovative promotions.
It styles itself as the "uncarrier", offering customers free video-streaming options, gifts, tie-ups with ticket agency StubHub, and customer-friendly data plans that have been copied by rivals.
The oversaturated US mobile market has sparked a price war with providers fighting for market share.
T-Mobile customers qualifying for a free share will be able to earn up to 100 more if they refer new subscribers.
The company said in a statement that some long-term customers will qualifying for two extra shares per referral.
Mr Legere, known for his boisterous presentations and love of social media, said: "Get ready for a gratitude adjustment, America. This Un-carrier move is all about giving you a good thanking! No strings. No gotchas. Just 'thank you for being a customer'".
T-Mobile US chief marketing officer Andrew Sherrard told the Reuters news agency: "Some [free offers] will cost us some money but over time we think it will be a really good investment."
The company, controlled by Deutsche Telekom, said it added 2.2 million customers on a net basis in the first quarter ending 31 March.

The Black Cats' 10-season spell in the top flight ended when they lost 1-0 at home to Bournemouth on Saturday and Hull City drew 0-0 at Southampton.
Moyes, who took charge at Sunderland in July last year, has faced calls from supporters to step down.
"I think it's a question for two or three weeks' time," said the Scot.
"I think we all need to reflect and look at everything from top to bottom."
Chairman Ellis Short, who has been trying to sell the club, apologised to Sunderland fans, and admitted mistakes had been made.
Since Short bought the club in 2009 - he became chairman in 2011 - the Black Cats have had seven full-time managers, but have faced the threat of relegation in almost every season.
"We need to improve both on and off the field, and despite the bitter disappointment there is a strong determination to do so throughout the club," said the American.
"There is significant work to be done over the summer and when the season is concluded, we intend to share our plans to move forward with our supporters."
Listen as fans react to Sunderland's relegation on 606
This is the first time Moyes has been relegated as a manager, and he warned fans just two games into the the season that he thought they would struggle.
"I feel for the supporters because they're the people who pay their hard-earned cash to come and watch and we've not given them enough this season," said the former Everton and Manchester United manager.
"I've had 400-odd games in the Premier League and I've got an idea of what a good squad looks like.
"My feeling at the start of the season was it was going to be a hard graft, and I'd rather be up front with people than tell them something different."
The defeat by Bournemouth was the ninth time Sunderland have failed to score in their past 10 games, and the 18th time they have failed to do so this season.
Jermain Defoe, the team's top scorer this season with 14, has not found the net in more than 15 hours of Premier League football.
"We've needed Jermain's goals," said Moyes.
"At times we haven't given him enough quality supply. But there has been other times, like today, when a couple of chances came. In the early part of the season he was getting them and finishing them."
Moyes was given the Sunderland job after Sam Allardyce left for his brief stint as England manager.
He has not been helped by injuries, with Jan Kirchhoff, Lee Cattermole, Duncan Watmore, Jordan Pickford, Paddy McNair and Victor Anichebe among the first-team players to have had lengthy spells on the sidelines.
Short said: "I acknowledge that during my ownership mistakes have been made, particularly in the area of player recruitment, and as a result we have found ourselves struggling to survive in recent seasons.
"We had massive disruption during the summer transfer window, and an unprecedented number of injuries throughout the season.
"These are difficulties which we have been unable to overcome and we are paying the price for that now."

Match of the Day pundit and former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer:
David Moyes has got to take responsibility as has the owner. It's been a disastrous season from start to finish. Mismanagement at all levels and they've signed some poor players. They've been flirting with relegations for a number of seasons and it was inevitable it was going to happen.
A £28m net spend in the last three transfer windows is comparable with teams in and around them, but I worry for Sunderland. There are two players that are assets in that team [Jordan Pickford and Jermain Defoe]. Other than that there's not too much in that squad that's worth a lot of money.
Match of the Day commentator John Motson:
A club badly managed from above for the last four years. At least three managers have got them out of it at the end of the season.
The rot set in at Sunderland a long time ago and it came right from the top.
I have no sympathy with them - they deserved to do down. I just hope somebody, whether it's David Moyes - a new owner perhaps - has got the opportunity to bring them back.
They have been a great club, they've got great fans but I'm afraid the way the club has been run, they've deserved what they got.
Former Premier League striker Jason Roberts:
Those Sunderland fans are seeing a team and a club that I think has lacked leadership from the boardroom.
That's why they have skipped from manager to manager with no real plan or identity.
Maybe they need to go down, refocus, bring in some young hungry players and give a new "project" to the Premier League because Sunderland are a huge club and if they come back up next season, they will be a club many will fear.

Michael Turner hid his glazed creations around Lymington and posted clues to their whereabouts on his Facebook page.
He asked those who found them to make a donation to the Royal British Legion.
The artist said he came up with the idea after his parents gave him a box of World War Two memorabilia which had belonged to his grandfathers.
He said he had also been inspired by last year's ceramic poppies art installation at the Tower of London.
Memorabilia in the box included medals, photographs and a certificate of outstanding service.
"It had quite a big impact on me just how much they went through," Mr Turner said.
He created 11 poppies because it was a "poignant number" for Armistice Day, which marks the end of World War One on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month each year.
He said he did not want to benefit "in any way", and instead said it was "about sending a message".
Sian Morris, who found the first of the poppies, said: "So pleased to have found such a beautiful piece of artwork, especially something with such meaning. Just going to make my donation now."
Annabel Cook said her 10-year-old daughter Edie Keates, who found another of the sculptures, was "thrilled" and was going to make a donation from her own savings.
Police were called to a property in Heol Cae Gurwen, Gwaun Cae Gurwen, shortly after 10:30 GMT on Thursday.
A South Wales Police spokesman said a cordon was set up as a precaution and to ensure public safety while officers searched the house.
The guns and swords have been confirmed as being imitation or ornamental, lawfully held by a collector.
Diversions in the area have now been lifted.
Det Chief Insp April Casburn is accused over Operation Varec, which considered whether Scotland Yard's inquiry into phone hacking should be reopened.
Prosecutor Mark Bryant-Heron said she "sought to undermine a highly sensitive and high-profile investigation".
Ms Casburn denies one charge of misconduct in public office.
The charge relates to 11 September 2010 when Ms Casburn, 53, from Hatfield Peverel, Essex, was working in counter-terrorism, managing the National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit.
Southwark Crown Court heard one of her team had been asked to carry out financial investigations as part of the Scotland Yard inquiry into phone hacking.
It is alleged Ms Casburn rang the NoW's news desk at 07.51 BST to offer information in exchange for payment.
She gave the names of two of the people under investigation during the conversation, it is said.
Mr Bryant-Heron said: "The prosecution says she sought to undermine a highly sensitive and high-profile investigation at the point of its launch.
"The prosecution says, and it's a matter for you 12, that the act of telephoning the News of the World to offer to sell information and the provision of some information during that call was misconduct, it was misconduct in public office.
"It was a gross breach of the trust that the public places in a police officer not to disclose information on a current investigation in an unauthorised way, or to offer to do so in the future for payment."
The newspaper did not publish anything and no payment changed hands, the court heard.
Mr Bryant-Heron said Ms Casburn admits making the phonecall but denies asking for money, and says she had a reasonable excuse.
She says she was concerned that resources that were supposed to be used to combat terrorism were being allocated to the phone hacking investigation, and that much of the information was already public knowledge.
The court heard the call was taken by NoW journalist Tim Wood - who said she refused to give her name, but introduced herself as a senior police officer.
Mr Wood told the jury: "The one thing that stands out in my mind is the fact that she kept going on about Lord Prescott.
"Her saying that he was pressing for them to put charges on the News of the World, and she was saying that she felt it was wrong that he was interfering in the scandal, so to speak, and she resented that."
He added: "She was almost justifying her call by saying that it was this interference by Prescott that had upset her."
The detective told him six people were under investigation including former NoW editor Andy Coulson and reporter Sean Hoare, Mr Wood said.
The court then heard from Det Supt Christos Kalamatianos who led the 60-strong National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit.
He said his relationship with Ms Casburn was "cordial", but she had accused him of failing to support her and the unit on one or two occasions.
She broke down in tears in the dock as her former colleague gave evidence and was comforted by a member of her legal team.
When questioned about his working relationship with the defendant, Mr Kalamatianos told the court: "I believe I was managing her sensitively, I don't know that I was managing her well."
Meanwhile, Detective Chief Superintendent Dean Haydon, who led Operation Varec in September 2010, told jurors that one financial investigator on Operation Varec admitted he had been at a dinner party with a journalist who worked for the Sun, and had discussed phone hacking.
That investigator was subsequently removed from the team.
The trial was adjourned until Tuesday.
The 33-year-old was shown round the club's Auchenhowie training ground on Saturday. Talks will continue and a deal could be imminent.
Barton was named in the Championship team of the season as Burnley secured the title.
He has yet to agree a new deal with Burnley and could be tempted by a longer term contract at Ibrox.
Rangers manager Mark Warburton is keen to add some experience and character to his squad in preparation for their return to the Premiership.
Barton, who won one England cap, was named player of the year at Burnley this season.
The former Manchester City, Newcastle, QPR and Marseille player joined the club when Frank McParland was the sporting director.
McParland is now head of recruitment at Ibrox, and will be an influential figure as Barton weighs up his options.
The transfer runs counter to Rangers' recruitment strategy of signing players with the potential to develop and rise in value.
But Barton is a player McParland knows well and Warburton prefers to sign individuals whose nature and character he is already aware of.

Another 13 people suspected of involvement have also had their assets frozen, the state prosecutor says.
Interim President Michel Kafando was reinstated on Wednesday after an intervention from the army and West African leaders.
On Friday, his government ordered the presidential guards' unit that carried out the coup to be disbanded.
At least 10 people were killed and more than 100 injured in clashes during the take-over which Gen Diendere described as "the biggest mistake".
In a statement announcing the latest move, state prosecutor Laurent Poda said that the assets of 14 people, including Gen Gilbert Diendere and his wife Fatou Diendere, an MP for the former ruling party, would be frozen for three months.
During this period, they would only be able to withdraw 300,000 CFA ($512) a month.
On Friday, the first full meeting of the government since Mr Kafando's reinstatement decided to disband the presidential guard (RSP) and to dismiss the minister in charge of security.
The RSP - a unit of 1,200 well-armed and well-trained men - is loyal to Blaise Compaore, the country's long-time ruler who was ousted in a popular uprising last year. They were unhappy about being integrated into the regular army.
Members of the unit stormed the cabinet room on 16 September, seizing the interim president, the prime minister and others.
A week later, when it became clear they did not enjoy popular support and after a threat from the regular army to step down or be ousted by force, the RSP withdrew.
An emergency meeting of the regional bloc Ecowas earlier in the week also helped to bring a smooth end to the crisis.
Mr Compaore is currently in exile and was accused of committing widespread abuses, and trying to change the constitution to extend his term in office.
Fifty years ago, the supertanker SS Torrey Canyon hit rocks off the coast of Cornwall, spilling more than 100,000 tonnes of crude oil into the English Channel. Beaches were left knee-deep in sludge and thousands of sea birds were killed in what remains the UK's worst environmental accident.
It was the first major oil spill in British and European waters, causing enormous damage to marine life and the livelihoods of local people. It also led to changes in the way people viewed the environment.
Brittany, in northern France, bore the brunt of the thickest part of the slick, and it became known there as the marée noire, or "black tide".
More than 15,000 sea birds were killed. Clogged up with thick viscous oil, they were washed up both dead and alive on the shores. Future populations of some species took decades to recover.
Heathrow's death sentence for villages
Street art: Crime, grime or sublime?
Why do people holiday in Scarborough?
This destruction of the birds had a direct impact on sanitation. Many were scavengers, eating rubbish which washed up on shore. That rubbish was instead left to rot on the beaches.
The deaths of birds and marine mammals in the first days after the spill were only a fraction of the final toll. The effects went on for years, working on organisms from the bottom of the food chain - the plankton and small invertebrates that live in sediments, through mussels and clams on up to fish, birds and mammals.
And the British clean-up effort, which involved the excessive and indiscriminate use of powerful chemicals, made a bad situation much worse.
At the time, the Ministry for Agriculture and Fisheries determined that the holiday industry - and clean beaches - were more important than the "very small" amount of damage it anticipated to wildlife.
So more than two million gallons of a chemical called BP 1002 was sprayed on to the affected waters. Hoses were squirted over beaches, volunteers used watering cans, fishermen pumped the chemical into the sea from their boats. The Army even punctured holes into barrels of it and rolled them off cliffs.
The plan was for the chemical to break down the oil and allow it to disperse and be removed by natural bacteria. But instead it killed any kind of marine life it came into contact with, from seaweed to limpets to fish.
It pooled on beaches for hours before being washed away by the tide, making the poisonous effects even worse. A Marine Biological Association (MBA) report in 1968 said the UK's use of detergents resulted "in the death of a large number of shore organisms of many kinds".
It took 13-15 years for the treated areas to recover, about five times longer than those areas where the oil was dispersed naturally by wind and waves.
Professor Martin Attrill, director of the Marine Institute in Plymouth, said the British response to the crisis illustrates how different attitudes to the environment were then.
"At the time the Torrey Canyon went down we were still considering the sea as the main place to put all our waste," he said.
"We've had a change in mindset. At the time it was 'the environment can deal with this' and the main concern was for the ship and whether it could be salvaged.
"Then people started to wake up - not just to the environment, but to the fact it reduced tourism. People didn't want to visit areas where there'd been an oil spill, there was an inability to sell goods, the brand was tarnished. Now we know about the benefits of clean seas."
On the affected section of the Breton coast, breeding pairs had returned from their migration to nest when the disaster happened. The Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux calculated that there were 450 pairs of razorbills before the spill but only 50 after. For guillemots the number of pairs fell from 270 to 50.
About 85% of puffins on the French coast were also killed, the RSPB estimated. Because of their low reproductive rate, it took several decades for the population to recover.
Julian May was an 11-year-old boy on holiday in Cornwall when the disaster struck. He remembers the surf being like "brown, frothy coffee".
"On the beach itself there were thick clags of oil, great lumps of it," he said. "It was spreading all over the place.
"More than anything, I remember the smell - the strange smell - of this oil."
Dr Gerald Boalch was a senior scientist aboard an MBA ship which took samples shortly after the spill.
"On British beaches where the detergents were used, many animals and plants were killed," he said. "Spraying the detergents was definitely the wrong thing to do.
"It broke up the oil, which helped the tourism industry for the affected places, but the oil sank from the top of the waves to the bottom, breaking into smaller parts and being ingested by marine life."
In Cornwall, former biology teacher Richard Pearce from Treburrick has studied Porth Mear beach three times a year since the Torrey Canyon's murky load came ashore.
He said it took about five years for the environment to even "stabilise". Before that, he said, the beach was "barren".
So how had this disaster happened?
The Torrey Canyon had been en route from Kuwait to Milford Haven, in Pembrokeshire, on the morning of 18 March 1967 when its captain took a shortcut and hit Pollard's Rock - a reef between Land's End and the Isles of Scilly.
Every drop of the crude oil borne by the ship seeped into the Atlantic.
By evening an eight-mile slick had seeped from her ripped hull. The following day it was 20 miles long. It eventually bled into a 270 sq m (700 km2) foul-smelling smear.
After failed attempts to shift the tanker off the rocks, the crew were rescued by lifeboats.
Then the British government ordered the marooned tanker be bombed, both to burn off the remaining oil and to scuttle the vessel.
Over two days, 62,000 lbs of explosives were dropped on the stricken craft and surrounding waters, along with 5,200 gallons of petrol, 11 high-powered rockets and napalm.
Of the 42 bombs aimed at the target, about a quarter missed. Others did not explode. And while some of the oil burned, waves kept extinguishing the flames.
John Eatwell, who took part in the bombing missions, said his abiding memory was of the "overpowering smell of oil, which penetrated the cockpit even at several thousand feet above the slick".
"The column of smoke from the burning oil went up to about 20,000 ft. To continue bombing we had to dive into smoke and flame," he said.
The Torrey Canyon broke in two and finally sank 12 days after it ran aground.
The approach in France was perhaps less scientific, but much kinder to nature.
The French let the oil come ashore and then scooped it up. On their rocky beaches, the oil that remained gradually weathered and the marine life was not as badly affected.
Meanwhile on Guernsey, the oil hit the shore seven days after the Torrey Canyon finally sank.
The island was heavily dependent on tourism and officials were keen to clear the beaches as quickly as possible. The chosen solution was to suck the oil into sewage tankers, transport it to a disused quarry and dump it there.
Years later, micro-organisms were introduced in the hope they would convert the oil over time into water and carbon dioxide. However, this had limited success.
"I don't think they'd have ever imagined that 50 years later the oil would still be there," said Rob Roussel, who oversees the quarry for the Guernsey government.
"At the time there was no awareness about how to deal with it, and the over-riding concern was the economy, so it was all about clearing the beaches as quickly as possible.
"We would have expected that the oil would have all been released by now but it continues to appear."
The Torrey Canyon disaster did have some positive consequences, including the creation of maritime regulations on pollution.
A young David Bellamy, at the time an environmental consultant, was asked to comment on the disaster - and his unique style led to a career in television.
Speaking 50 years later, he said: "The Torrey Canyon Disaster was a milestone in the environmental world.
"It was a tragedy that [it] had to happen before the public became focussed on potential loss of natural life, in this case marine.
"The media images of pollution and the attendant wildlife disasters made people begin to become involved in this new ethical conservation.
"It also became apparent that life is more resilient than anybody thought. In general if an oil spill is contained, the marine flora and flora will eventually return."
The International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF) was set up in direct response to the Torrey Canyon disaster. It now provides emergency responses to spills across the world.
Single hull oil tankers - where one hole could lead to a catastrophic leak - were phased out and replaced with double hulls, which offered more protection.
The American owners of the Torrey Canyon eventually paid £3m compensation to the British government. The accident remains the worst - and most expensive - in UK waters.
As for the Torrey Canyon herself, she still rests at the bottom of the ocean. The tanker which destroyed so much is now - somewhat ironically - a haven for marine life.
In the 13 weeks to 1 November, like-for-like sales excluding fuel fell by 2.6%.
The supermarket said it had reduced the number of vouchers, which had affected third-quarter sales by 2.4%.
However, chief executive David Potts said the retailer was "making good progress in many areas".
He said the company's priorities remained "to stabilise trading, reduce costs and further improve the capability of the leadership team".
Morrisons' like-for-like sales from its online operation rose 1% in the third quarter.
The Bradford-based group was late to enter the online shopping market, but in 2013 signed a tie-up agreement to sell food through Ocado's online delivery service.
Morrisons reiterated that it expected underlying pre-tax profit before tax to be higher in the second half of 2015-16 than the first.
Shares in Morrisons fell by 3.89% in afternoon trading in London.
"Morrisons has not yet found a trading and retail proposition that will differentiate it in the marketplace," said Bruno Monteyne, retail analyst at Bernstein.
But analysts at Jefferies said a "stronger Morrisons is emerging", with recovery efforts paying off by improving the customer experience.
In March, the company reported a 52% drop in annual profits to £345m, its worst results in eight years.
In September, Morrisons announced it was selling 140 loss-making "M" local convenience stores in a £25m deal and closing 11 stores, as it sought to concentrate on larger sites.
Its slow response towards the trend for smaller, city centre convenience shops meant it missed out on prime locations that had already been snapped up by its rivals.
Morrisons is the fourth-largest supermarket chain, trailing Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda in annual sales.
Its struggles reflect wider problems within the sector, which has seen price wars among the big four supermarket chains following the growth of discount chains such as Aldi and Lidl.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, said Morrisons was paying down debt, while "aggressively" addressing costs and pricing, but the rate of progress could test the patience of some shareholders.
"The fact remains that the supermarket sector is a notoriously competitive industry and others will not wait whilst Morrisons continues on its slow recovery," he said.
"In particular, the current perceived wisdom of supermarkets moving towards convenience stores and online are not areas in which Morrisons has any notable strength, whilst the next trading period will bring the usual Christmas bunfight."
On Friday, Morrisons will launch its Christmas marketing campaign using its own staff to promote its stores rather than celebrities Ant and Dec who previously fronted its seasonal adverts.
It was the struggling smartphone maker's first quarter-on-quarter increase for more than two years.
The better-than-expected results give the Canadian company some hope that its turnaround plan is working.
Revenue was 31% lower than for the same period last year, but losses narrowed to $89m compared with a $148m deficit a year ago.
Chief executive John Chen said he was pleased with progress, as growth in enterprise software gained momentum and revenue rose across its "areas of focus".
"Blackberry has a solid financial foundation, and we are executing well," he said.
Revenue from software - a figure being closely watched by analysts - more than doubled to $162m compared with the same quarter last year.
"Blackberry hit a software number that investors have been looking for them to hit for quite some time," said Morningstar analyst Brian Colello.
Total software revenue for the first three quarters reached about $362m - within striking range of the $500m forecast for the full financial year to February.
Last month, the company launched a new smartphone called the Priv, the first to run on the Android platform rather than its own operating system.
The majority of the world's smartphones run on the Google-developed Android.
Blackberry said the Priv combined Blackberry-level security with access to the 1.6 million apps in the Google Play app store.
Mr Chen said the device had been well received and would be available on more mobile networks globally next year.
Blackberry aims to sell five million of the handsets a year. The Priv costs about $700/£580 without a contract, putting it in line with the iPhone and premium Android devices.
The company sold 700,000 devices in the third quarter, down 100,000 from the previous quarter, but average selling prices rose from $240 to $315.
Shares in Blackberry closed up 10.4% in New York at $8.61, but the stock is still down more than a fifth this year.
The company is valued at just $4.1bn. In comparison Apple is worth more than $600bn.
Cho was jailed for a year in February but the court on Friday ruled she should serve a suspended sentence.
She was convicted of violating plane safety after ordering a taxiing plane back to the gate to offload a steward who had served the nuts the wrong way.
But the appeal court ruled she did not cause a change in the flight path.
It gave Cho a reduced sentence of 10 months and suspended the prison term for two years.
She remains guilty of using violence against flight attendants.
She did not answer questions from reporters and quickly left in a car.
Cho, also known as Cho Hyun-ah, was a vice-president of Korean Air. She is also the daughter of the company's chairman.
Cho Hyun-ah arrived at the appeal-court under police guard, dressed in the plain green overalls of the South Korean prison service. She left, having changed swiftly, into the black non-prison garb which has become her "outfit of contrition".
Before she was imprisoned at the end of last year, she repeatedly paraded herself before batteries of television cameras. Dressed in black from head to foot, voice at a whisper, she would express her contrition. So she appeared today, though without the big apology.
The court had quashed one of her convictions - illegally deviating a flight - a charge intended for hijackers.
But the assault in the form of jabbing the flight attendant with a bunch of papers was not over-turned. That verdict stands. And surely so does the humiliation. She became "nut-rage woman" around the world. That memory can't be erased.
Nor can a bigger question in the minds of many South Koreans. The economy is dominated by family-run chaebols - or firms - huge conglomerates answerable to no-one but the family oligarch. Often these companies are very successful, sometimes they aren't.
Cho had a job on the board of Korean Air. She was the boss's daughter. Is keeping business in the family a good way of running an economy?
On 5 December last year, Cho became angry while onboard a Korean Air flight in New York after she was served macadamia nuts which she did not ask for, and which were still in a bag, not in a bowl.
She confronted both the flight attendant who served her and chief steward Park Chang-jin about the presentation, at one point jabbing Mr Park with a service manual.
Cho then ordered the plane, which was taxiing at JFK Airport, to return to the terminal to offload Mr Park.
Cho had been in custody since she was arrested on 30 December. In February she was convicted and sentenced to one year in jail.
One of the judges on the appeal panel said on Friday that they had taken into consideration that she was a first time offender.
"It appears that she will have to live under heavy criticism from society, and stigma," he said.
The case attracted intense attention in South Korea, reopening a national debate about the Korean business system, which is dominated by family firms known as chaebols.
Some of the families running these businesses have been accused of high-handedness and acting with impunity.
Mr Mattis spoke in South Korea, where he had been reaffirming US support, before flying to Tokyo.
He also reconfirmed plans to deploy a US missile defence system in South Korea later this year.
North Korea's repeated missile and nuclear tests and aggressive statements continue to alarm and anger the region.
The US has a considerable military presence in South Korea and Japan, as part of a post-war defence deal. There are just under 28,500 US troops in the country, for which Seoul pays about $900m (£710m) annually.
President Donald Trump has previously said he wants both South Korea and Japan to pay more towards maintaining that presence.
Mr Mattis used his visit to reassure South Korea that the Trump administration "remains steadfast" in its "iron-clad" defence commitments to the region, said the Pentagon.
Speaking after talks at the defence ministry with his South Korean counterpart Han Min-koo, Mr Mattis told reporters that "any attack on the United States, or our allies, will be defeated, and any use of nuclear weapons would be met with a response that would be effective and overwhelming".
North Korea conducted its fifth test of a nuclear device last year, and claims it is capable of carrying out a nuclear attack on the US, though experts are still unconvinced its technology has progressed that far.
It has also said in recent weeks that it has a new intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of reaching the US mainland, which it is prepared to test launch at any time.
How advanced is North Korea's nuclear programme?
North Korea's missile programme
Mr Mattis's assertion that an attack by North Korea would get massive retaliation will hardly be a revelation to Kim Jong-un, says the BBC's Stephen Evans in Seoul.
The bigger question is whether to talk to the North Korean leader to try to persuade him to abandon or limit the size of his nuclear arsenal, our correspondent adds. On that, the Trump administration has so far been silent.
Under the Obama administration, the US and South Korea agreed to deploy a US-made Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defence system in South Korea.
Its supporters say it is aimed solely at defending from North Korean threats. But China and Russia have complained it is provocative.
Beijing says it goes "far beyond the defence needs of the Korean peninsula". It believes the system's radar would allow the US to spy on its military.
It is also unpopular with some South Koreans, who fear missile bases could become targets and endanger people who live nearby.
Speaking on Thursday, Mr Mattis sought to reassure China, saying there was "no other nation that needs to be concerned about THAAD other than North Korea".
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said on Friday that Beijing remained firmly opposed to the deployment of the missile system.
After his meetings in Seoul Mr Mattis flew to Japan, where there are a further 50,000 US soldiers plus their dependants and support staff in Japan. The US paid about $5.5bn for its Japanese bases in 2016, with Japan paying a further $4bn.
Mr Mattis told Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that the US remained committed to the military alliance between their countries.
The mutual defence treaty was "as real to us today as it was a year ago, five years ago and it will be a year and 10 years from now", he said.
According to Japanese media, he also confirmed that the US would defend islands in the East China Sea that are controlled by Japan but claimed by Beijing. | There's some weird and wonderful tales to tell in the Europa League... but how much do you know about the competition?

Lucio Morrone, known as "Spalluzzella", is described by Spain's Guardia Civil as head of a dangerous clan in the Naples Camorra.
He was sentenced to 20 years in jail for drug trafficking and on the run for five years, says Spain's Civil Guard.
Morrone was caught in a joint operation involving Spanish and Italian police.
In 2013, Italian authorities told their Spanish counterparts that Morrone, thought to be head of the Teste Matte (Crazy Heads) clan active in Naples' Spanish quarter, may have moved to Spain to evade capture.
He was eventually spotted in the small town of Benalmadena, south of Malaga, after surveillance of tourist sites and areas popular among local Italians, authorities say.
Morrone, 53, was carrying forged documents when he went to pick up money that had been wired from Naples and he was detained under a European arrest warrant.
A former Teste Matte clan chief, Paolo Pesce, was arrested further down the coast at Fuengirola in 2008.

The Rose and Crown in Brockenhurst has been rebranded "The Huntsman" during a refurbishment by owners Revere.
The New Forest Association (NFA) said its research showed the original name dates back centuries and is "intertwined with village history".
A post on the pub's Facebook page said the new name reflected the forest's past as a royal hunting ground.
Proposals for illuminated signs on the Grade II-listed building were refused by the National Park Authority (NPA), but the name change did not require planning permission.
The New Forest Association said it had unearthed evidence of the name recorded in a map survey by Thomas Richardson in 1787, as well as earlier references to the "Three Crowns".
Vice-chairman Graham Baker said the name change was "alienating the village and regular visitors."
"The Rose and Crown is one of the oldest buildings in the village and its name has stuck like glue for centuries," he said.
"A mere name change may seem like a standard practice, but in the New Forest our heritage is written in the names of our woodland inclosures, our villages, and even our humble pubs."
A planning report by the NPA said the name was linked to the pub from about 1900, but said earlier mentions could have referred to different buildings.
"The authority would need to be able to demonstrate the change in the name has caused negative implications on the historic interest of the listed building which is not considered to be justified in this case," it concluded.
Revere has not yet commented, but a post of the pub's Facebook page said the name was chosen as the New Forest was originally a royal hunting ground. | A change of name for a New Forest pub has been criticised as "alienating" by heritage campaigners. | 35,826,199 | 368 | 26 | false |

Prosecutors described the Paralympic athlete's punishment for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013 as "shockingly lenient".
At the hearing in Pretoria, Judge Thokozile Masipa said the petition had no reasonable prospect of success.
The state now has 21 days to take its case to the Supreme Court of Appeal.
Pistorius, 29, was given a five-year term for manslaughter in 2014, but was found guilty of murder last December after a prosecution appeal.
He shot Ms Steenkamp through a locked toilet door and said in his his defence that he mistook her for an intruder.
The judge said at the sentencing that she had deviated from the minimum 15-year sentence because of "compelling personal circumstances".
She said mitigating circumstances, such as rehabilitation and remorse, had outweighed aggravating factors, such as his failure to fire a warning shot.
Gaye Lyons' fight began when she was prevented from being a juror for a trial near Brisbane in 2012.
She argued the Queensland government unlawfully discriminated against her by refusing to provide an interpreter, but the High Court unanimously disagreed.
"Why should the powers that be decide what's right for me," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"Why should they decide what I can and can't do."
"Jury duty was something I really wanted to take part in."
Ms Lyons can lip-read but needs an Australian Sign Language interpreter to communicate.
The court said the law did not permit an interpreter to assist when the jury was in confidential deliberations, which would make her unable to perform her duties as a juror.
The "decision not to include the appellant in a jury panel did not constitute unlawful discrimination in the performance of her functions or the exercise of her powers under Queensland law," the ruling said.
Ms Lyons, 69, rejected concerns raised by lawyers for the government about ensuring the accuracy of translations, noting that interpreters were already allowed in other court proceedings.
Describing the verdict as "disappointing", the Disabled People's Organisations Australia called for Queensland law to be changed to allow deaf people to serve as jurors.

"I am not privy to anything that goes on in the business side of it but if it is going to take someone else to be added to what is already at Rangers, prepared to invest the money, then maybe it is time that the board sit round the table and discuss it with other people.
"You are going to have the same situation that you have just now if they don't do that."
Henderson starred for Rangers during the 1960s and 70s, winning two league titles and four Scottish Cups.
The 73-year-old was dismayed by the limp showing from his old team at the weekend.
"The fans at least expect an enormous effort from players wearing the blue jersey," he said of the Hampden defeat.
"They accept that Celtic are a better team just now, but they shouldn't be a better team with effort and that was disappointing for the fans who have put up with a lot for a long time."
Henderson believes it is over half a century since there was such a chasm in quality between the two rivals, who meet again on league duty at Ibrox on Saturday.
"We played Celtic on the Saturday [1963 Scottish Cup final] and drew and on the Wednesday we won the replay 3-0, in front of 250,000 people in total.
"At that stage there was a huge gulf between Celtic and Rangers.
"We were far in front but then along came the genius Jock Stein [Celtic's European Cup winning manager]. The gulf today is the same as before Jock Stein came.
"We were always very confident of beating Celtic. Today, I don't think there is a Celtic player who if they are going out and putting a shift in, would fear getting beat by Glasgow Rangers."
Party leader Nick Griffin lost his seat representing the North West of England.
Mr Griffin vowed the party would "be back" and support for UKIP, which topped the polls, would "crumble" as people realised they could not deliver.
Ahead of the election count, anti-BNP demonstrators clashed with police outside Manchester town hall.
The BNP finished with 1.14% of votes, down from more than 6% in the last European elections in 2009.
The result five years ago saw the BNP win two seats in the European Parliament for the first time, as well as three local council seats - in Lancashire, Leicestershire and Hertfordshire respectively.
It had already been reduced to one European seat after Andrew Brons, who was elected as a BNP MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber in 2009, left the party and became an independent.
This time around, the BNP lost its deposits in each of the nine English regions and Wales where it stood after it got less than 2.5% of the vote.
It got fewer votes than An Independence From Europe - an anti-EU party only set up in November.
As he arrived at the count in Manchester, Mr Griffin had to dodge missiles, including placards, that were thrown at him from protestors chanting "Nazi scum".
A number of scuffles broke out between protestors and the police.
Following the announcement of the election result, newly-elected Labour MEP Theresa Griffin said: "No longer can a racist, fascist party claim to represent the interests of the people of the North West."
Mr Griffin blamed UKIP for his electoral defeat telling Sky News they were now the protest party of choice.
"We're out tonight but we'll be back. We set the agenda, we're the ones who broke the taboo about immigration - we've allowed UKIP to do what they've done but when people see they don't deliver their votes will crumble," he said.
His defeat comes amid a surge of support for far right, anti-immigration and Eurosceptic political parties elsewhere in Europe.
In France, the National Front led by Marine Le Pen has caused what the country's prime minister Manuel Valls has called a "political earthquake" topping the poll with 26% of the popular vote.
French president Francois Hollande has called an emergency meeting of his ministers on Monday following the election result.
In the Netherlands, the anti-Islam, Eurosceptic Dutch Freedom Party of Geert Wilders' - which plans to forge an alliance with Le Pen's National Front - finished joint second in terms of European Parliament seats behind a pro-European centrist opposition party.
And Denmark's anti-immigration far right People's Party looked on course to top the poll with an estimated 23% and the extreme-right Jobbik, widely accused of racism and anti-Semitism, was running second in Hungary with 15%.
The armchair fan from Bolton phoned Suffolk Police alleging that Ipswich player Tyrone Mings had been abused during the 1-1 draw at Portman Road.
Officers scanned footage and arrested a 17-year-old during the match.
The fan admitted using non-racist but abusive language. He will not go to the final under a community resolution.
Police said the television viewer phoned them during the first half of the match on Saturday, 9 May.
The 17-year-old fan from Cromer was removed from the crowd during the second half and taken into custody.
Suffolk Police would not disclose the actual language used by the supporter but a spokeswoman said it was not racist.
Mings told officers he had not heard anything and the person who reported it then declined to give an official statement, according to the force.
It was agreed to use the community resolution rather than charge the Norwich fan and take him to court.
The resolution meant the 17-year-old agreed to stay away from the second leg of the play-off semi-final at Carrow Road and any subsequent trip to Wembley.
Norwich won that match 3-1 to progress to the final which takes place against Middlesbrough on Monday.
Suffolk Police said it was unable to confirm whether the 17-year-old had been planning to go to Wembley.
Some Canaries fans have expressed disappointment that Norwich's allocation of 38,888 tickets for the final have not been put on general sale.
After starting the final day on 199-6, Ireland were bowled out for 230 to leave Hong Kong needing 310 to win.
Nizakat Khan's superb 123 held up Ireland as he shared a ninth-wicket stand of 61 with Nadeem Ahmed.
However, with the score on 239, Peter Chase trapped Ahmed and Khan was then dismissed by Tim Murtagh.
Middlesex seamer Murtagh was the pick of Ireland's bowlers on the final day as his closing dismissal, with Ed Joyce taking a simple catch, brought impressive figures of 4-29.
George Dockrell and Kevin O'Brien chipped in with two wickets apiece but the Ireland attack laboured for most of the final afternoon as Khan and Ahmed looked comfortable during their 61-run partnership.
Earlier, a quick victory looked on the cards as Murtagh's first two wickets and O'Brien's dismissals left Hong Kong on 114-5 before they slipped 147-7.
Ireland were able to add only 31 runs for the loss of their final four wickets at the start of the day as O'Brien finished unbeaten on 16.
The victory maintained Ireland's winning run in the competition as they moved back to the top of the eight-team table.
After four successive wins, Ireland lead Afghanistan by 19 points, with the two sides meeting in the next fixture in India next March.
The winners of the eight-nation competition will play the bottom-ranked Test nation in 2018 for the right to earn four years of Test cricket status.
Grade I listed Plas Glynllifon is the centrepiece of the Glynllifon estate six miles from Caernarfon on the main A499 to Pwllheli.
Former uses for the 102-roomed property include offices and accommodation for an agricultural college.
The mansion was originally the seat of Lord Newborough.
A wall 10ft (3m) high and eight miles long (12km) surrounds the Glynllifon estate which includes various houses, an agricultural college, craft workshops and a cafe as well as the mansion.
David Currie from receivers Winterhill Largo said Plas Glynllifon was one of the "more unusual appointments" for the company.
"It is a truly unique property with massive potential," he said, pointing to its location near Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula.
"We are anticipating a great deal of interest from potential buyers and hopefully the house will have a great future."
Before partial renovation work over recent years the house was featured in the book Forgotten Welsh Houses which showcased buildings which had fallen on hard times.
The house is said to be haunted by the ghost of Maria Stella, a young bride who came to the Plas from Italy in the 1700s to marry the then Lord Newborough.
A 25-year-old man was attacked at Kirkcaldy station on Saturday, 12 September 2015.
It happened shortly before midnight as the man got off the 23.08 Edinburgh Waverley to Dundee service.
The man in the photograph is of medium build with light brown hair. He was wearing a light blue jacket.
He was also wearing an orange top and jeans.
Det Con Paul Farquhar, the British Transport Police officer in charge of the inquiry, said: "I am appealing to anyone who recognises the man shown in the photographs to contact me as a matter of urgency."
The 24-year-old has scored 26 goals in 40 league games this season.
Marquis, who won the League Two Player of the Year award on Sunday, joined Rovers on a two-year deal last summer after being released by Millwall.
"I've got a year left on my contract and it would be nice to sit down and sort a new one out," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"There's no reason why I would want to go anywhere else, my football has come on so much.
"My tactical knowledge of the game has improved, my technique has improved and that is purely down to the manager (Darren Ferguson). He loves coaching and seeing improvements in players individually and as a team.
"He's a brilliant manager and I think we're lucky to have him."
Marquis has now scored as many league goals this season as in his first seven seasons as a professional combined.
Doncaster sealed promotion back to League One with a win over Mansfield on Saturday and he believes the team have everything in place to carry their success into the third tier.
"We've won a lot of games this season and we've done it in different ways and I think if we can take that winning mentality into next season I don't see any reason why we can't be challenging in that top six," he added.
Croft told BBC Radio 5 live that women "suffer in silence" on the subject.
Her comments were made following British number one Heather Watson's Australian Open first-round defeat, in which she admitted to feeling unwell.
Watson told BBC Sport: "I think it's just one of these things that I have, girl things."
The 22-year-old said she suffered from dizziness, nausea, low energy levels and spells of feeling light-headed as she lost 6-4 6-0 to Bulgaria's world number 52 Tsvetana Pironkova.
She called for the doctor towards the end of the first set and was visibly struggling as Pironkova won the last seven games.
After the defeat, Watson said she was confident it was not a return of the glandular fever she suffered in 2013.
"I get it sometimes," she said. "I'm going to go and see the doctor afterwards and see if there's anything I can do to help with times like these in the future."
Croft described Watson's comments as "brave" and that women would "identify completely" with her symptoms.
She said: "Women's monthly issues seems to be one of those subjects that gets swept under the carpet and is a big secret.
"Women dealing with these issues at any time is hard enough, but actually trying to go out there and trying to play top-level sport at one of the most crucial times in the calendar year. It is just really unlucky.
"I think women do suffer in silence on this subject. It has always been a taboo subject."
Watson went into the first Grand Slam of the season in Melbourne fresh from winning her second WTA title in Hobart last week and at a career-high ranking of 38.
"It's really frustrating, especially at the one time I really do want all my energy and to be 100%," said Watson.
"But it happens and you're dealt with different cards on different days and I should have dealt with it better. It's a real shame and it sucks."
Anderson beat England's Adrian Lewis in the 2016 final and is aiming to win the event for the third year in succession.
World number one Michael van Gerwen will play Ross Snook or Kim Viljanen in the first round, while 16-time world champion Phil Taylor is up against either John Bowles or David Platt.
The tournament runs from 15 December to 2 January at London's Alexandra Palace.
It is the 10th time the PDC's showpiece event will be staged at the venue, following its move from the Circus Tavern in Purfleet for the 2008 competition.
Seventy-two players will compete for a record first prize of £350,000.
Stoke's Frost was one of four players to secure their spots at the World Championship at the final qualifying event in Wigan on Monday.
Anderson, 45, could become only the third player in darts history to achieve three consecutive World Championship wins.
Eric Bristow (1984-86) did so before the sport split into two governing bodies, after which Taylor (1995-2002) and (2004-2006) twice achieved the feat in the Professional Darts Corporation version of the World Championship.

Trading Standards warn the actual number could be 10 or 20 times that figure, as most victims never come forward.
One victim from north Wales had more than £100,000 of his life savings taken in three investment scams.
Police say relatives and carers must look out for warning signs.
The figures come from Action Fraud, the UK's national fraud and cyber crime reporting centre.
Action Fraud and the City of London police, the lead force on fraud, suggests 77% of victims of investment fraud are men with the average age of 65, with the average loss more than £32,000.
Trading standards officer Alison Farrar said scams can start with victims entering a simple competition, where someone is asked to send off a small amount of money to claim their prize, but it quickly snowballs.
"We've had people who've lost almost everything," she said.
"They've ended up having their homes belonging to someone else because they've been persuaded to enter into an equity release scheme. And it means they're worried in their old age about being able to stay in their own homes."
She said cheating firms will go to elaborate lengths to persuade people to hand over their money, spending months convincing them the bogus offer is genuine.
In one case, a man from Anglesey lost more than £100,000 in three separate frauds.
In one of the scams, he was sold five diamonds for six or seven times their actual value, with the suggestion they would also increase in value over time.
"I was stupid, but they were so friendly," he said.
"The one man told me his wife was expecting a baby and she had a miscarriage - he was actually crying on the phone. He'd told his bosses he'd sell this diamond - he wanted me to pay £1,000."
The man said he sent £500 but, because he had not been able to fully pay for a diamond, he felt he was letting the perpetrator down.
He ended up buying five diamonds, varying in price from £3,000 to £18,000. They have since been valued at a fraction of the prices he paid.
"They were doing a job and they were doing it well at my expense.
"Sometimes it's easier to forget - if I dwelt on it every day of the week my life would be unbearable, thinking how stupid I've been," the victim said.
In August last year, Martin Rhys-Jones, of Cardiff, was jailed for six years by a court in America for his role in a separate £2.3m ($2.9m) "boiler room" fraud.
The case attracted headlines because his daughter, Emma, is engaged to Real Madrid footballer Gareth Bale, and her sister Charlotte is in a relationship with rugby international Taulupe Faletau.
Nigel Cash, from Kent, was one of Rhys-Jones' 250 victims, and was conned into buying £5,000 of worthless shares.
He said he was now on an "idiot list" and, 10 years after the initial sale, he still gets scam calls related to the shares.
"The impact is you become a target, you get more phone calls because you've bought one set of shares and are therefore 'a soft touch'," he said.
"There's a whole industry of people that do nothing but phone people and try and make them part with their savings in order to buy something they know beforehand has absolutely no value - and that's sad."
Thomas has been replaced by The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright just days before Sunday's finale.
He had been set to battle it out with Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, Paralympic medallist Kadeena Cox, and Emma Parker Bowles to be crowned champion of the winter sports competition.
The 42-year-old is the fourth celebrity to withdraw from this year's series.
Model Caprice suffered an illness, Olympian Sir Bradley Wiggins broke his leg and Vogue Williams pulled out before an episode even aired.
A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: "Gareth Thomas has withdrawn due to personal reasons."
Bright replaces Thomas as she was the last to be eliminated.
The move means that the British Transport Police (BTP) will no longer operate as a separate force in Scotland.
BTP wanted to continue providing this service, with oversight by Holyrood instead of Westminster.
But Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has decided against that.
He wants the force's Scottish operations and more than 200 officers integrated into Police Scotland.
In a statement, the Scottish government said: "Police Scotland is responsible for all policing in Scotland outwith the railways and we believe the functions of the British Transport Police should be integrated within the single service.
"The BTP provide a specialist function that is recognised and valued by the rail industry and its passengers and it is essential that this specialism is maintained within Police Scotland.
"This will ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of all policing in Scotland, keeping communities safe and strong".
A letter released to the BBC by the Scottish government under freedom of information reveals that former Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill offered to takeover the BTP in 2011.
He wrote to the then UK Transport Secretary Philip Hammond on the day that the creation of a single Scottish police force was announced.
In the letter, Mr MacAskill wrote: "I would like to explore the potential for the BTP in Scotland to become part of the new Scottish policing landscape".
The Scottish government has also released an email from the British Transport Police Federation, which represents police officers, expressing anger at the Smith commission recommendation.
In this note dated 5 December 2014, the federation's chairman, George Lewis said: "Such a move is both unjustified and unjustifiable.
"It is a betrayal of the BTP and our members who have worked tirelessly to achieve their policing targets year after year".
SNP ministers had a high-profile dispute with the British Transport Police over its use of stop and search when they first took office.
Mr Matheson told the Police Oracle website that railway policing needed to become part of Police Scotland because of the country's "distinctive approach to policing".
And he told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Police reforms have been taking place in Scotland over the last 18 months, moving to the single force.
"It's been the Scottish government's view that this [transport policing] would be better if it was integrated into Police Scotland given that it would sit alongside our national police service.
"That's why we believe this would be a better fit for how we are taking policing forward in Scotland."
The Smith Commission on further devolution recommended that policing the railway be devolved and this was included in draft legislation drawn up by the UK government.
This is expected to become law after the general election and the BTP could become part of Police Scotland by the end of 2016.
A BTP spokesman said: "We are aware of the justice secretary's public comments on the future of railway policing in Scotland.
"Our number one priority remains the continued safety and security of the railways in Scotland, and across the rest of the network.
"Since the announcement that rail policing was to be devolved, we have been in dialogue with the Scottish and UK governments, the rail industry and other key stakeholders. These discussions continue."
A UK Department for Transport spokesman said: "How rail transport is policed in Scotland will be a matter for Scotland once the legislation is passed."
Labour MP Tom Harris was the minister responsible for the British Transport Police in 2007-08.
"BTP is a long-standing and effective police force" he said.
"It will be sad to see it merged with Police Scotland as part of a further centralisation of services.
"This move is premature. No-one has been consulted - neither the travelling public nor the police officers themselves. A hasty decision today could put at jeopardy the safety of the travelling public tomorrow."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "Some people have argued that the Scottish Parliament should choose to keep the force as one single entity across the UK instead of integrating into Police Scotland.
"I think that is worthy of consideration. We need to have that debate. We need to consider this carefully rather than deciding now what the structure should be."
Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone said: "People will look at this move and think the SNP is again using Police Scotland to make a political point.
"The British Transport Police are hugely respected and valued by passengers. One of their key duties is policing cross-border services, but now they will have to get off the train before Scotland and be replaced by officers from the single force.
Mr Johnstone added: "I think the public will be concerned by yet more centralising by the Scottish government."
BTP has 231 officers in Scotland according to the BTP federation website and a network of 11 offices within major railway stations.
It is dwarfed by Police Scotland which is the largest force in the UK outside London, with more than 17,000 officers.
Under one possible model, BTP could become the Scottish Transport Police division of Police Scotland.
The Scottish Police Authority, which oversees the work of Police Scotland, said it had already started discussions with the BTP.
BTP and its governing body are due to meet to consider their response to the Scottish government's plan.
The cross-border force is worried that losing its Scottish division could lead to the break-up of the entire force.
There have been previous discussions about the Metropolitan Police taking over railway policing in London.
BTP is not the only police force operating in Scotland alongside Police Scotland.
The MoD police and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary will continue to protect key sites.
Neither have experienced anything like it for months, particularly on their respective assignments before this series - England in the UAE to play Pakistan, South Africa on tour in India. In those Asian nations, pitches were slow and lifeless.
Now, at the Wanderers, batsmen can find the ball rising to the height of their throats from just short of a length. It is difficult.
And yet, South Africa will be disappointed with their first-day batting effort. It is hard to put a score into context until both teams have batted, but it certainly is not a surface where a team should find themselves 225-7 as the Proteas did soon after tea.
They got the boon of an unbroken stand of 42 between eighth-wicket pair Chris Morris and Kagiso Rabada, but, even at 267-7, England could still wrap up the innings for less than 300 on day two.
What makes it worse for South Africa is that they had such a good start. It was brave for AB de Villiers to bat first given the grey overhead conditions, but the home top order looked like proving their new captain right.
They knuckled down, were intent on getting in and accustomed to the conditions. Yes, Stiaan van Zyl played an odd pull shot at Ben Stokes - more on odd pull shots in a moment - but then Dean Elgar and Hashim Amla batted very well.
Amla, though, was the only batsman who England had to get out. He edged a lovely delivery from Steven Finn, leaving the rest to fall to misjudgement, poor shots and, yes, those pull and hook strokes.
Four in total were caught on the leg side, including De Villiers, one of the best players in the world. If you are not used to the bouncy conditions, then pull and hook strokes can lead you to be rushed. When you don't get into the correct position, then the ball will be skied. That is exactly what happened.
To make it worse for South Africa, England really did not bowl well in the early helpful conditions.
James Anderson is still not right after his calf injury and Stuart Broad looked unwell, so they were not at their best.
Bowlers, like batsmen, have to adjust to the bouncier surface, pushing their length fuller as a result. England neither got it full or straight enough, meaning the South Africa batsmen did not have to play.
However, England have a knack of tying the game down, or keeping the opposition in check even when they are not taking wickets. Very rarely do opposition batsmen run away from them.
Therefore, when wickets come, especially if they are in quick succession, England rapidly find themselves back in a position of strength.
With Anderson and Broad not performing, the resurgence was led by Stokes and Finn, with the latter impressing as the pick of the bowlers all day. This sort of surface is ideal for a bowler like Finn, with his good pace and brutal bounce.
This is another area where England will have a slight edge. They now have four pace bowlers that are pretty experienced in Test cricket - Stokes is playing his 22nd match.
In contrast, South Africa have the excellent Morne Morkel, but the rest of their quartet have eight caps between them. How will they adapt when they come to bowl on Friday?
England have to make that work to their advantage, to not make the mistakes that South Africa have and not gift their wickets away.
They have to get their heads down, get used to the bounce and make the bowlers work hard. They must remember that even if it is tricky when they first arrive at the crease, this is a lovely pitch on which to bat if you get in. The ball comes on to the bat and you get value for the shots you play.
England's plan will be to wrap up the South Africa innings as quickly as possible on the second morning, then apply themselves for as long as possible with the bat.
If they can do that, they will move closer to a first overseas series win since 2012.
Jonathan Agnew was talking to BBC Sport's Stephan Shemilt.
I think a lot of that is the result of all the time and effort that I've put into it over so many years. I've been a full-time tennis player for pretty much half my life and the frustration can come through when I'm not winning or playing as well as I would like, given the amount of effort.
Pressure also plays a part but that's something you have to deal with every day, learning to manage those expectations from yourself and from everyone else. There is no denying that at different times of the year it can be tough, and during Wimbledon I do find that stressful, but most of the year it's not too bad.
My team help a lot in dealing with all of that, both in the build-up to matches and at the side of the court when I'm playing. Having said that, I have played tournaments before when I've only had one person with me and I don't mind it too much.
It's not necessarily a negative if I feel like what's happening in the box is distracting me or taking away from what's happening on the court, which can happen, but at tough moments especially it can be a bit of a comfort blanket to look over at people you know when you're in front of a huge audience.
Having people on the side of the court who care about you can really help.
My team would probably be the best ones to say for sure, but I'm pretty sure that in 10 or 11 years as a professional, I haven't cancelled or failed to show up for a single practice session.
I still get a lot of enjoyment out of just hitting a tennis ball most days.
I'm not denying that there are moments out on court when I might be gasping for breath, after four or five extremely physical rallies, and think, 'I need to try and shorten this point'. But actually waking up and not wanting to hit tennis balls? No, I enjoy it too much.
If there are days that are tougher to get going for then they tend to be in training rather than tournaments. I think as you get older it's the competition that really gets you excited.
Some days the training and practice can be quite repetitive and maybe a bit boring, but that's what you have to do if you want to stay at the top of the game. Knowing that is one of the benefits of experience.
But the competing side, that's never a problem. When I get the chance to take on the best players in the world at huge events like the ATP World Tour Finals, the Grand Slams or the Davis Cup, I can't imagine ever thinking I don't really want to do that.
It might be the eighth time I've qualified for the ATP Finals but I'm still one of the younger players here, and I hope to be back for many years to come.
Whether I am or not will probably come down to health in the end, as that's why most players have to stop.
Everyone's body is different but if you lose a couple of steps in speed, you are in trouble, and that normally happens when you pick up an injury with your knee or hip or back.
I've spoken about this to players who have finished or are coming to the end, like Lleyton Hewitt, who's retiring after the Australian Open in January. He said that physically he just can't do it anymore and that's why he has to give it up.
Hopefully I will stay fit for a while yet, as I would like to play for as long as I can compete at a high level.
When the time does come to call it a day, I think I will cope OK with life at home. It's not like every time I'm back for two weeks, I'm desperate to get out of there. When I had back surgery two years ago I was at home for a long period of time and I enjoyed that as well. I do love spending time with my friends and family and the dogs.
I am lucky that I don't get really homesick and I haven't got fed up with travelling, as it's such a big part of what we do. I know some players talk about that when they get older, and for a lot of the coaches when they come back on tour, it's being away so much that's tough.
Fortunately, it's never been a problem for me. I like travelling and visiting different parts of the world, and hopefully there will be plenty more to come.
Andy Murray was talking to BBC Sport's Piers Newbery.
Mikayla Haining, from Mackay Road, died on 8 June after being taken to Raigmore Hospital with serious injuries.
Police confirmed earlier this week that they were treating her death as suspicious.
Officers said they had been carrying out a complex investigation, which remains ongoing despite the man having been charged.
He is expected to appear at Inverness Sheriff Court on Thursday.
Det Insp Brian Geddes said: "Following the death of three-week-old Mikayla Haining, I can confirm a 19-year-old man has been charged and reported to the procurator fiscal.
"This has been a complex investigation and it remains ongoing. I would like to thank the community for their patience while these enquiries have been, and continue to be carried out."
King has been in talks with the club over the proposed investment.
"We wish to appoint an equal number of members to the board and have the key say regarding the appointment of the chairperson," King said in a statement.
"We will not invest funds and let the existing board determine how these funds are spent."
King is returning to South Africa following a series of meetings with the Ibrox club's hierarchy.
The former Rangers director revealed he, Paul Murray and George Letham are keen to invest the cash "as soon as is practically possible" but admitted there are "numerous regulatory and compliance requirements that have to be dealt with," as well as SFA compliance issues.
"An obvious further complication in Rangers' case is the seeming lack of authority of the Rangers board to make decisions without reference to key shareholders who appear to be 'the power behind the throne'," King's statement continued.
"Prior to commencing the implementation issues referred to above it is necessary to reach an in-principle agreement with the board that can then be put to shareholders.
"In this regard it is important to recognise that the so-called Easdale Block represents more than 25% of the shares in issue and could therefore block the implementation of our proposal even if recommended by the board.
"Likewise, a combination of other shareholders could veto our proposal. I attempted to meet with Mr [Mike] Ashley on my visit but neither he, nor his colleague, Mr Bishop, acknowledged my request for a meeting.
"This is their right but is unfortunate given the present concerns from supporters that Mr Ashley is using his shareholder status to put pressure on the board to alienate the rights and trade mark of the club in favour of his personal interest. I will make a separate announcement and appeal to fans on this topic at the appropriate time.
"Our initial proposal to the board was to invest the full £16m by way of equity at 20p per share. The board requested that we consider a debt/equity mix that would reduce dilution for existing shareholders and allow the debt component to be advanced prior to the extended time-frame required for the approval of additional equity.
"We are amenable to this and to working with the board on the mechanics necessary to ensure that this is achieved provided that the full investment is recognised by way of board representation.
"The board has apparently engaged constructively on our proposal while advancing its own points as to what it believes is in the best interest of the club and its shareholders.
"Sandy Easdale has similarly apparently engaged constructively including highlighting some concerns. I have today responded to these concerns in writing. He will now consult with his co-shareholders and hopefully revert soonest so that we can proceed to agreement and the earliest possible implementation thereof.
"We have a lot of work to do over the next few months to regain the club. I would not be here without the support of the fans and neither would my co-investors. We are going to need to draw on your support again over the coming months."
Some of the bursaries available this year will be two thirds less in value for trainees who start in 2016.
Calculations by the Times Educational Supplement (TES) suggest the changes could affect more than half of trainee primary teachers.
The government said bursaries were targeted at the areas in most need.
The Department for Education's list of funding available to trainee teachers for the year 2016 to 17 shows bursaries for primary teacher trainees with first-class degrees or PhDs will fall to £3,000 - down from £9,000 this year.
Bursaries for primary trainees with 2:1 degrees or master's qualifications will fall from £4,000 this year to £3,000 in 2016.
This year primary maths trainees with 2:2 degrees or better were offered a £12,000 bursary. Next year this will fall to £6,000.
For primary maths trainees with degrees lower than a 2:2 the bursary will be cut from £9,000 to £3,000.
Nearly half of primary teacher trainees who started their courses in September 2014 received a bursary - some 8,900 trainees, according the TES analysis.
Prof John Howson, an expert in the teaching workforce, described the cuts to bursaries as "very risky".
Prof Howson, an honorary research fellow at Oxford University, said although the government met its targets for primary teacher recruitment this year, it missed them the previous year.
He said cuts to the bursaries could prompt "a yo-yo effect" and risked "creating a crisis in primary where there isn't one".
The bursaries can be used for living expenses or to offset some of the £9,000 tuition fees for trainee teachers on university courses. They can be paid to trainees on both university and school based training schemes that do not carry a salary.
Experts warned that other careers which do not require trainees to incur more debt would become more attractive to graduates.
"The reduction of bursaries could mean it is not attractive for people to train to teach," said Lizana Oberholzer of the National Association of School Based Teacher Trainers.
In particular she warned national figures, which show there are enough primary teachers this year, often hide local shortages - for example in areas such as Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, where she is based.
"We are worried we won't be able to recruit high quality teacher trainees without the incentive of high value bursaries in future," she said.
A Department for Education spokesman said the number and quality of teachers was "at an all time high" and the government wanted to continue attracting the most talented people to the profession.
"Our generous bursary system is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure it is targeted at those areas which are most in need.
"We have exceeded our recruitment target for primary teachers and thanks to our wider reforms are confident we will continue to attract top-quality candidates to this area."
The Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system (Thaad) is designed to protect against threats from North Korea.
The move to begin installing the system comes a day after the North launched four ballistic missiles, breaking international sanctions.
But the US-South Korean arrangement has angered many on the Korean peninsula and around the region, including China.
South Korean media said operations to install a Thaad battery had begun on Monday, with some parts flown from the US to an air base near Seoul. A statement from the US military confirmed that the "first elements" of the system had been sent to South Korea.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency, quoting a military official, said the system could be operational "as early as April".
Chinese foreign spokesman Geng Shuang said on Tuesday that China opposed the deployment and would "resolutely take necessary measures to defend our own security interests".
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.
There is domestic opposition - many South Koreans believe the defence system will itself become a target, endangering people who live around the military sites. Opponents have staged multiple demonstrations.
Internationally, both China and Russia have raised concerns, saying the system could affect the regional security balance.
Last year, China's foreign minister said the system went "far beyond" the defence needs of the Korean peninsula. Russia's envoy to Seoul has called it a "direct threat" to national security.
The Thaad system is well-suited to defend South Korean targets against relatively limited range North Korean missiles. But it has no ability to intercept Chinese inter-continental ballistic missiles that target the US. Why then is China so annoyed?
What concerns Beijing is the system's powerful X-band radars that can "reach" far into Chinese territory. The Chinese military worries that these could be used to spot Chinese missile launches and feed the data to cue up other US defensive systems, eg interceptor missiles based in the US, potentially affecting China's deterrent capability.
But the US already has powerful radars based in Japan and a Thaad system in Guam. It's not easy to quantify the additional benefit that Thaad radars in South Korea would give the Pentagon. But they will certainly give the South Koreans an important and expanded new layer of defence against missile attack.
North Korea threatened last week to fire missiles in response to the start of the Foal Eagle US-South Korean military exercises. The annual drills infuriate the North, which sees them as preparation for an invasion from the South.
Then early on Monday, it fired four missiles from the Tongchang-ri region, near the border with China.
Three of the projectiles flew some 1,000km (620 miles) and fell into Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The exact type of missile is not yet clear but South Korean officials said they appeared to be an upgraded version of a Scud missile.
The US and Japanese leaders held phone discussions after the missile launch and the United Nations Security Council is due to meet on Wednesday in an emergency meeting requested by the US and Japan to discuss the incident.
Admiral Harry Harris, commander of the US South Pacific Command, said the launch confirmed "the prudence" of the decision to deploy Thaad.
But the deployment will likely worsen tensions between Seoul and Beijing. In recent days South Korea has accused China of economic retaliation linked to Thaad in areas, including tourism and air travel.
There has also been an outpouring of anger by Chinese consumers against the South Korean retailer Lotte, which allowed Thaad to be installed on one of its sites. Several of Lotte's stores in China have been closed down suddenly. Beijing rejects claims of economic retaliation.
Is China retaliating against Lotte missile deal?
Abu Sayyaf demanded a ransom and an end to German support for the US-led coalition against Islamic State (IS), a monitoring service called SITE reports.
Abu Sayyaf has proclaimed allegiance to IS, a hardline Islamist group that has seized large areas of Iraq and Syria.
Germany said it had "heard about the report" but refused to withdraw support for US action against IS.
A German foreign ministry spokeswoman said that threats were "not an appropriate way to influence our policy in Syria and Iraq".
She added that there would be no change to the existing German strategy, which consists of logistical support and military supplies for Kurdish peshmerga fighters battling IS militants in Iraq.
Abu Sayyaf has been active since the early 1990s.
It is a small but violent Islamist militant group which operates in the southern Philippines.
It is considered a "foreign terrorist organisation" by the US, and has been blamed for attacks including beheadings.
It is also known to kidnap foreign and local hostages for ransom.
The group claimed responsibility for the 2004 SuperFerry 14 bombing, the Philippines' deadliest terror attack in which 116 people were killed.
The Dane, who started the day six clear after shooting a course record 62 on Friday, had five birdies in his round.
England's David Horsey, who also carded a 68, is one of five players tied for second on 11 under par.
Masters champion Danny Willett struggled again as he bids to finish the season as European number one.
Willett needs to finish fifth to regain top spot in the Race to Dubai from Open winner Henrik Stenson but was joint 48th after a third-round 68.
England manager Gareth Southgate has named three strikers in his squad for Wednesday's friendly against Germany and Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Lithuania - Jamie Vardy, Marcus Rashford and Jermain Defoe.
The Lithuania game is the more important one, but it should not make any difference which of them starts it. Whoever plays, we should have enough to beat them.

But I think it tells you where English football is right now that we have got to call up Rashford - a teenager who has hardly played as centre-forward this season - and Defoe - a 34-year-old who has been around for years and has not been in the squad since 2013.
Yes, Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge are both injured too, but it is not exactly a position of strength.
England are top of Group F and in a strong position to reach Russia but, as long as they get there, what happens in friendly games and qualifiers does not really matter.
We have reached the finals of major tournaments before after being undefeated in qualifying - for the 2014 World Cup, for example - and been absolutely hopeless once we got there.
England will need a fit and in-form Harry Kane to make an impact on the World Cup next summer but I think they could get there without him, if they had to, even with such a shortage of options.
There are different arguments for Vardy, Rashford or Defoe to lead the attack against Lithuania.
For the vast majority of the season, Vardy has been poor. It's only in the past five games, since his goal in Sevilla, that he has found any real form. In the past three-and-a-half weeks he has been brilliant.
Rashford is playing more for Manchester United, and in a central role, at the moment because of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's suspension.
Media playback is not supported on this device
I know he didn't score for United against Middlesbrough but he played well, looked dangerous and had chances, just like he did against Chelsea in the FA Cup last week.
At 19, Rashford represents the future - a player we will look to for the next few years, not just this week.
Defoe isn't the future - but he has scored goals in a struggling side for Sunderland this season, with virtually every chance he has had.
He deserves to be in the squad on current form and I think Southgate was right to leave Theo Walcott out too.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Walcott has scored 15 goals in all competitions this season, only the second time since he has managed that since he joined Arsenal in 2006, and is on course to beat his best total of 21 goals in 2012-13.
Even if this turns out to be his best season ever, I am still not convinced by Walcott as a centre-forward. He still needs to do more, and I would not say he is the answer for England.

Without Kane, Tottenham can turn to either Vincent Janssen or Son Heung-min to lead their attack. I don't think Janssen is good enough, and they look a better team with Son leading the line.
Son gives them great energy and makes runs in behind defences. As we saw against Southampton, that can and will create chances for the likes of Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has called on Son and Janssen to step up while Kane is out but Alli and Eriksen did that against Saints, and both found the net.
Eriksen was excellent again, and is having a really good season. In the first half in particular on Sunday, I thought he was superb.
Alli has now scored in four straight games and you can tell how hungry he is for goals. Once the referee had awarded Spurs a penalty against Southampton, I saw him go chasing after the ball.
He was the only guy who wanted it, and he tucked it away very confidently.
Their goals meant Tottenham already have one win in the bag without Kane this weekend, and I don't see his absence being a huge issue for them over the next few weeks either.
They will need him in their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea on 22 April but, looking at their next four Premier League games - against Burnley (a), Swansea (a), Watford (h) and Bournemouth (h) - they should be able to win those without him too.
Hopefully the reports that Kane's ankle injury is not as bad as first feared are true, and he will be back in action in another month or so rather than missing any more of the season.
If that is true, it won't be an issue for them at all. The title looks beyond Tottenham now, but I still fancy them to finish inside the top four.
Alan Shearer was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Senator Philip Bailhache said a UK exit from the EU would have "substantial implications" for the crown dependency.
Prime Minister David Cameron has promised a referendum on EU membership if he wins the 2015 general election.
Self-governed Jersey is not part of the UK or EU but its trade relationship with Europe is governed via the UK's membership.
During States questions on Monday, Deputy John Le Fondre asked Senator Bailhache what preparation Jersey was making should Britain leave the EU.
"A great deal of work has been done and is being done to try to evaluate the different possibilities open to Jersey in such a scenario," said Senator Bailhache.
"But there are numerous different permutations which make it difficult to formulate any precise plan at this stage."
Alastair Sutton, an EU law expert who has advised both Jersey and the European Commission, said Jersey's relationship with the EU amounted to free trade in goods.
Such trade was wholly dependent on the UK's EU membership, he told BBC News.
"Jersey is only associated with the EU in any shape or form by virtue of the fact that it falls under the sovereignty of the UK," said Mr Sutton.
"If the UK were to leave, that relationship would fall.
"There would be no question of Jersey negotiating its own relationship unless it became sovereign, because the EU does not negotiate with non-sovereigns."
Senator Bailhache said full independence would be considered if it was in the interests of the island.
"I have no intention to inflict pains on Nigerians," he said on Saturday evening, arguing that the cut was in the "best interest of all Nigerians".
He also promised to cut top government salaries and ban all but essential international travel.
Unions have called an indefinite general strike, to start on Monday.
Mr Jonathan removed the subsidies on 1 January as part of a government austerity drive and a push to end corruption in the domestic fuel sector.
Petrol prices more than doubled in response and there have been angry street protests.
"If I were in your shoes at this moment, I probably would have reacted in the same manner as some of our compatriots, or hold the same critical views about government," Mr Jonathan said in his TV address.
But, he told Nigerians: "We must act in the public interest, no matter how tough, for the pains of today cannot be compared to the benefits of tomorrow."
The deregulation of the petroleum sector was, he insisted, the best way to curb corruption and ensure the survival and growth of the economy.
"The truth is that we are all faced with two basic choices... either we deregulate and survive economically, or we continue with a subsidy regime that will continue to undermine our economy and potential for growth, and face serious consequences."
He said that top government officials would, from this year, take a 25% pay cut, and foreign trips would also be reduced.
Although Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil exporter it has not invested in the infrastructure to produce refined fuel, so has to import much of its petrol.
Many Nigerians regarded the government fuel subsidy - in place until the start of 2012 - as the only benefit they received from the country's vast oil wealth.
Most of Nigeria's 160 million people live on less than $2 (£1.30) a day, so the sharp price increases have hit them hard.
The government says it will spend the money it saves on improving health, education and the electricity supply.
The strike planned to begin on Monday has echoes of a nationwide action in 2003 that saw Nigeria almost entirely shut down.
"The government does not have credibility," said Adeola Adenikinju, an economics professor at the University of Ibadan who has long supported ending the fuel subsidy.
While the strike is expected to affect oil workers too, industry sources do not expect the industrial action to significantly affect crude exports, Reuters news agency reports.
Crowds gathered at the waterfront to watch the Queen Mary 2 appear on the horizon at about 09:00 BST.
The three queens are paying homage to the city which was once home to the company's headquarters to mark Cunard's 175th anniversary
The Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Victoria liners will arrive on Monday before all three sail down the Mersey.
The Queen Mary 2 is a classic black and white luxury liner, famous for her red and black funnels.
At Liverpool's waterfront one excited spectator said: "It's absolutely amazing and I think she's a beautiful ship, very traditional looking, different to the new cruise liners.
Another added: "It's a wonderful day for Liverpool and it's a wonderful day for us all to celebrate being a Liverpudlian."
The three ships are also due to feature in celebrations at the start of July, when Queen Mary 2 will replicate the line's first transatlantic voyage.
Cunard was founded in 1840, with Sir Samuel Cunard's mail steamship RMS Britannia beginning its transatlantic service to Halifax and Boston from Liverpool.
The shipping company moved its headquarters from Liverpool to Southampton in 1965.
An exhibition celebrating the liner era has been on display in Southampton to mark the anniversary.
DNA tests were carried out on the remains - found close to The Mall, Cribbs Causeway - after a post-mortem examination proved inconclusive.
Avon and Somerset Police said they were not treating his death as suspicious.
The 73-year-old went missing in July, sparking a high-profile campaign to find him.
Decomposed remains were found in undergrowth by a member of the public on 10 March.
DJ Derek, a former accountant, was known to thousands of music fans and played hundreds of sets at local clubs and pubs, as well as at the Glastonbury festival.
He was a resident of St Pauls in Bristol since 1978 and appeared at gigs across the UK, including the Big Chill.
He also worked with Massive Attack and appeared in a Dizzee Rascal video.
Carter, Rokocoko, and Argentina's Juan Imhoff failed the tests after June's Top 14 final for Racing 92.
Last week, Racing denied the players had breached anti-doping rules.
They also denied that the players had therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) for "anomalous" drugs tests.
The hearing on Wednesday took place at the French national team's training base in Marcoussis.
Racing said the case relates to "treatment by an authorised channel", and added they are "on the side of law, ethics and love of a clean sport".
Their statement came after Carter and Rokocoko's agent told the New Zealand Herald he had assurances "all the documents around TUEs were in place".
TUEs allow sportspeople to take prescribed medicines - which would otherwise be banned for their performance-enhancing properties - if there is a medical need.
Surrey roads policing unit tweeted they were called to deal with the group at Clacket Lane services in Surrey on Saturday night.
Police said the group were detained on suspicion of entering the UK illegally.
The government said one of the 15 who claimed to be a minor had been referred to social services.
A spokesman for the Home Office said immigration officers were sent to the services between Junction 5 for Godstone and Junction 6 for Sevenoaks, Kent, after receiving the alert from Surrey Police.
He said: "A total of 15 people, presenting themselves as Iraqi and Iranian nationals, were discovered at the scene and are currently awaiting interview by immigration officials."
Surrey Police said they would not be releasing any further information.
The offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) will be built in Glasgow by BAE Systems under a Ministry of Defence contract.
Workers at BAE's Clyde shipyards are already building three similar vessels for the Royal Navy.
The move will fill a gap in the order book at the yards, where work is due to begin on eight Type 26 frigates next summer.
The contract was confirmed by Defence Procurement Minister Harriett Baldwin during a visit to Govan shipyard.
She said: "This contract will deliver two more modern Offshore Patrol Vessels, HMS Tamar and HMS Spey, for the Royal Navy and safeguard vital shipbuilding skills and hundreds of jobs in Scotland."
HMS Tamar and HMS Spey will be manufactured at the Govan shipyard before being floated to Scotstoun to be fitted out. They are expected to be delivered in 2019.
Iain Stevenson, managing director of BAE Systems Naval Ships, said: "Securing this contract for two further River Class OPVs is testament to the proven capability of the design and the tremendous skill and dedication of employees on the programme."
According to the MoD, work on the five new vessels is sustaining 800 jobs at shipyards on the Clyde, as well as posts at more than 100 companies in the UK supply chain.
The GMB union said the latest contract was "good news for the workers and good news for the Scottish economy".
GMB Scotland organiser Gary Cook said: "This OPV work provides continuity for our members on the Upper Clyde between now and the manufacture of the Type 26 frigate programme.
"The yards support over 2,700 directly employed jobs, generating over £92m in wages - a massive contribution towards the prosperity of communities on the Clyde and the Greater Glasgow area - and we cannot do without them."
The contract announcement comes a month after Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said that he hoped to conclude negotiations on the two additional warships "before Christmas".
The government announced plans to order two extra offshore patrol vessels during its Strategic Defence and Security Review last November.
They are used to support counter-terrorism, counter-piracy and anti-smuggling operations.
In August HMS Forth, the first patrol vessel from the earlier order for the Royal Navy, was unveiled on on the Clyde.
It took to the water for the first time as it travelled from the shipyard at Govan, where it was built, to Scotstoun, where it is being finished and tested.
The warship is expected to be delivered to the Royal Navy next year.
Earlier this month Defence Secretary Michael Fallon confirmed that work on eight Type 26 frigates would start at the same yards in 2017.
He said the move would safeguard hundreds of skilled jobs until 2035.
The frigates are principally designed for anti-submarine warfare and the first vessel is due to enter service in the early 2020s.
The promise of new Royal Navy orders to secure the Clyde shipbuilding industry was made before the Scottish independence referendum in 2014.
An £859m initial development deal to build the combat ships, at BAE's Govan and Scotstoun yards on the River Clyde in Glasgow, was signed in February 2015.
But the project has been scaled back from an initial 13 ships to eight and hit by repeated delays, with concerns that jobs could be lost as a result.
The MoD now plans to build a number of smaller, general purpose Type 31 frigates in addition to the Type 26s - but it has not been confirmed where these would be built.
Last week an independent report on Britain's shipbuilding programme, by Sir John Parker, suggested that construction might be shared between different companies across the UK.
A Scottish government spokesperson said: "Clyde ship-building has a world-class reputation and the contract awarded to BAE Systems proves yet again that the company and its workforce have the skills and capabilities to deliver the highest quality vessels.
"It is crucially important that the work promised to Scottish shipyards by the Ministry of Defence is delivered as pledged."

Olympic champion Nicola Adams began the day in Turkey with a comfortable points win against France's Sarah Ourahmoune.
Further wins followed from Joe Joyce, Josh Buatsi, Galal Yafai, Mohammad Ali, Qais Ashfaq, Anthony Fowler and Lawrence Okolie, while Joe Cordina was given a walkover.
The top three men and top two women in each division win places at Rio 2016.
Only two fighters - light welterweight Pat McCormack and welterweight Cyrus Pattinson - were unable to get the judges' decision.
Of all the wins, perhaps heavyweight Okolie's and Buatsi's at light-heavyweight were the most impressive.
Okolie overcame a Turkish boxer 3-0 on home soil while still relatively inexperienced at European level, while Buatsi scored a unanimous points decision over the second seed from Germany, Serge Michel.
Top super-heavyweight seed Joyce enjoyed a unanimous win, as did Ashfaq - the highest bantamweight seed - despite sporting facial cuts from his previous bout.
Ali's 3-0 points win sets up a semi-final against Bulgaria's Daniel Asenov, who beat the Yorkshire teenager to gold at the 2015 European Championships in Bulgaria.
Yafai at light-flyweight was awarded his bout after his Moldovan opponent was disqualified for persistent holding.
And middleweight Fowler won a split decision after a bruising encounter with higher-seeded Romanian Bogdan Juratoni.
After this event, male boxers have two more chances to qualify - at the World Series of Boxing event in Bulgaria in May and the final Olympic qualifying event in Azerbaijan in June. The women have one more chance - at the World Championships in Kazakhstan in May.
Both men's and women's semi-finals take place on Friday. Finals and box-offs for third place are split over Saturday and Sunday.
The move has been expected but talks have dragged on in recent weeks and at times the deal was at risk of collapse.
But a source close to Williams said they were "in the final stages". Another added Lowe's joining was "a formality".
Lowe, 54, will have a seat on the board as part of his new position, a third source said.
A Williams spokesperson declined to comment; Lowe was unavailable.
The Englishman, one of the most highly regarded and successful design leaders in Formula 1, is expected to be given responsibility for all technical aspects of the Williams group.
This includes the F1 team but also the Williams Advanced Engineering business, which conducts projects for other companies.
Lowe still needs to formally complete his departure from Mercedes, who announced they had put him on 'gardening leave' pending his exit on 10 January.
Mercedes will consider allowing Lowe to start work immediately once he has agreed terms with Mercedes for his departure from the team, rather than be forced to sit out for a number of months, as is normal when senior F1 technical figures switch employers.
It is not clear at this stage where Lowe's shares will come from. Equity in the team is split between founder and team principal Sir Frank Williams (51%), US businessman Brad Hollinger (15%), co-founder Sir Patrick Head (9%) and an employee fund (4%), with 21% listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange.
Williams and Hollinger were unavailable. Head told BBC Sport he "couldn't comment" on any specifics to do with Lowe's position at Williams.
"Discussions are still ongoing and until a signature is on a bit of paper nothing's a formality, but it would be good for Williams if they can get him," added Head, who stepped down from his day-to-day involvement in the management of Williams in 2011.
Lowe was the technical leader at Mercedes as they took three consecutive world title doubles from 2014-16 after joining the team in June 2013.
The foundations of that success were laid by former team boss Ross Brawn - who left Mercedes at the end of 2013 - but Lowe's leadership, and the consistency of the technical team under him, has seen Mercedes maintain a superiority that has led to three record-breaking seasons.
Lowe started his F1 career with Williams and was central to the creation of the legendary FW14B car with which Nigel Mansell dominated the 1992 world championship.
Under Head as technical director, Lowe programmed the computer-controlled active suspension system which was a key influence - along with the aerodynamic design of Adrian Newey, now technical chief at Red Bull - in ensuring the car was head and shoulders clear of its rivals.
Lowe moved to McLaren in 1993 and was their technical boss when they won their last drivers' world title, with Lewis Hamilton in 2008.
He came close to re-joining Williams during 2012, when current Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff was a director and shareholder, but instead went to Mercedes with Wolff in 2013.
Williams suffered a decline in form the 2000s, but revived to third place finishes in the constructors' championship in 2014 and 2015, before slipping to fifth last season.
The reasons behind his departure from his position as Mercedes executive director (technical) are not clear, but the split was initiated by the team.
Wolff and Lowe are said to have been in dispute over Lowe's remuneration and level of authority, and whether his ambitions could be satisfied within Mercedes.
The world champions have recruited former Ferrari technical director James Allison as Lowe's replacement but have not yet officially announced his arrival. Allison, 48, is to join Mercedes in the summer when his gardening leave from Ferrari runs out.
A Mercedes spokesman said: "We ask for your understanding that we cannot comment publicly on confidential contractual details. We have said that we will communicate further information in due course and this remains the case."

David Nicholas Davies, 25, has admitted murdering Emma Louise Baum at her home in Penygroes in Gwynedd in July 2016.
However he disputes the full case against him and the hearing will determine the basis of sentence.
The court heard he stood and watched as Ms Baum's mother tried to revive her daughter's lifeless body.
Ms Baum, 22, died from multiple head wounds.
Witnesses called 999 after hearing screaming coming from her house at about 04:00 BST on Monday 18th July 2016.
When police arrived they reported all was quiet and the house was in darkness.
Ms Baum had at least 20 injuries to her head including stab, incised and puncture wounds.
The prosecution said Davies had disposed of the murder weapon or weapons before returning to his home following the attack.
Davies said he used a crowbar not a knife in the attack and did not take a weapon with him.
Opening the case, barrister Simon Mills said: "On the morning after the murder, the defendant returned to the scene and reported finding Emma Louise Baum on her back doorstep. This was at 10:36.
"Shortly afterwards, he called Emma Louise Baum's mother and told her what he'd found. It's the prosecution's case that he intended her to come to the scene because he made a second, more hysterical call shortly afterwards.
"When she came, he watched and did nothing as she performed CPR on her daughter, despite the fact that he would have known that she was dead and had been lying there for some hours."
Judge Keith Thomas heard Ms Baum and Davies' two-year-old son was left alone for 10 hours after his mother's murder.
It was alleged Davies said when he brought the boy downstairs he told him: "Oh I am so sorry. You have lost your mother.
"You can come and live with your daddy."
Davies denies earlier allegations he had been violent towards her and had made threats to kill.
Mr Mills said he could call evidence alleging Davies had previously talked about Ms Baum being "six feet under" and that he could "put her in a box".
The prosecution also claims Davies sent text messages to his victim's phone after he'd killed her in order to create an alibi for himself.

BBC Sport pundit Neville, 37, and Scholes, 40, took temporary charge after manager Phil Power's departure.
The pair, alongside ex-United team-mates Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and Gary Neville, own a 50% share in the club.
Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley have now been named as the Evo-Stik Division One North side's new management team.
Former England defender Phil Neville has not had a coaching role since leaving Old Trafford prior to Louis van Gaal's appointment as manager.
Neville won six Premier League titles, three FA Cups and one Champions League trophy as a player with Manchester United, while ex-midfielder Scholes won the league title 11 times and Champions League twice.
Robert Moffat had his dog attack John Lamont after the pair got into an argument at a flat in Crieff on 23 May.
Police arrived to find Norton the Rottweiler "tearing at a piece of flesh hanging off" Mr Lamont's leg. He was left in hospital for a week and was scarred for life.
Moffat was found guilty of assault by a jury and will be sentenced next month.
Perth Sheriff Court heard that the two men, both aged 51, had been drinking together in the flat prior to the attack.
Moffat had previously dated Mr Lamont's sister, and a row broke out after the ex-soldier made comments about her.
Mr Lamont said: "He was talking about my sister, and we can't be having that.
"He just went mad. He was skelping me on the head. He stabbed me with a fork, he went for my left eye.
"I was screaming at him to stop. His dog, a big Rottweiler, was there. It was hanging off the back of my leg.
"Everything happened that fast. I looked at my legs - everything was ripped off me and I was covered in blood."
Mr Lamont's sister Frances, 55, told the court that Moffat phoned her during the attack.
She said: "I answered my phone to be told, 'can you come and get your brother because if I get him out to the street I'm going to kill him'.
"I could hear him shouting for the dog to attack.
"There was a lot of screaming and shouting and the dog was going really, really mad. The dog was under orders to do what it was doing, no doubt."
Police sergeant Samantha Greshon told the trial that she arrived at the scene to find the dog licking Mr Lamont's leg and tearing at a piece of flesh hanging off above his foot.
A jury found Moffat guilty of assault, and sentence was deferred for preparation of reports.

Jamie Lee Sawyer from Birmingham died during a British Army-led kayak training exercise off the coast of Cyprus on 12 March 2015.
The vessel Pte Sawyer was in capsized as it was overcome by large waves.
Coroner Louise Hunt gave a narrative verdict after a three-day inquest.
More Birmingham and Black Country stories here
One survivor told the court "it could have been any of us that day," as the boat was swamped by waves of up to to 2.5-metres (8ft) high.
An official accident report into the drowning of the 20-year-old found faults and poor practice in the way the course was run.
Two Met Office warnings, advising of thunderstorms in the area, had not been passed to the Army officer overseeing training.
The senior coroner for Birmingham and Solihull, said the factors that contributed to his death were: "a failure to adequately assess the weather forecast before the event began.
"A failure to ensure thunder storms warnings were provided to the regimental adventure training team."
And "a failure to ensure the generic and dynamic risk assessments covered specific hazards, specifically adverse sea conditions in poor weather."
The kayak instructor was acquitted by a Greek Cypriot criminal court earlier this year because of the weakness of the case against him.
Private Sawyer, a Royal Logistic Corps chef serving with 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment battlegroup, was hit by a large wave.
He then resurfaced "face-down" and was eventually rescued but died later in hospital.
Speaking after the verdict, Pte Sawyer's mother Tracy said she had finally got answers.
She added: "We are deeply proud of him and feel his loss deeply."
The 28-year-old Dutchman had been in talks with the Chinese Super League club for several weeks.
Chery scored 14 goals in 66 appearances for Rangers after joining from FC Groningen in the summer of 2015.
"Whilst it's disappointing to lose a player of Tjaronn's ability, I only want players at QPR who want to be here," R's boss Ian Holloway said.
"As a manager, when a player tells you he wants to leave with 18 months left to run on their contract, it's in the club's best interests to part ways and bring in players who want to play for the club."

I went in to it with a do-or-die mentality
Roared on by a sell-out crowd of 17,500, the 18-year-old delivered six dives of consistent excellence.
China's Qiu Bo, the world champion and firm favourite coming into the final, had to settle for silver.
"The main aim here was to get a medal," said Daley. "Olympic bronze medal - I can't believe it!"
Bo settling for silver seemed unlikely on Friday evening when he dominated the qualifying session, with Daley down in 15th.
But Daley gave a glimpse of his fine form this season in Saturday morning's semi-final, only to save the very best until it really mattered.
"Boudia was a class act. A masterclass. But well done Tom Daley. Under all that pressure and expectation, he delivered six out of six dives. I do not have the words to express how proud I am. What an achievement."
The British star took a tiny lead into the last round of dives, but needed to be perfect as his closest rivals were both trying more technically difficult dives.
The Plymouth-born teenager nearly managed it, but his score of 90.75 left him vulnerable to Boudia and Bo diving after him.
Boudia rose to the challenge, nailing his effort to score 102.60, 1.80 points better than Qiu's effort, which proved to be the winning margin for the American.
Daley's total was 9.90 points lower than Qiu's, but there was no sense of disappointment from the Brit or his entourage.
Whilst Boudia celebrated with his coach and team-mate Nicholas McCrory, Daley's friends and family threw him into the pool and jumped in afterwards to celebrate a famous medal.
"To be honest, I was very nervous. I went in to it with a do-or-die mentality," said Daley.
"I put everything into it. I was in first place going into the last round, but didn't have the degree of difficulty I needed [to hold on for gold]."

It could have all been so very different for Daley who, amid considerable confusion in the packed Aquatics Centre, told his coach Andy Banks that he had been put off by flashes from cameras in the crowd during his first dive.
After a brief discussion, the judges granted Daley a re-dive and he grabbed his second chance to score 91.80 points, 16.20 more than his first effort.
Daley finished over 29 points ahead of fourth-placed diver Victor Minibaev, meaning he would have won bronze regardless of the re-dive.
"The retaken dive is one downside to having a home crowd," he said.
A bronze medal - only the seventh medal Britain has ever won in Olympic diving - more than makes up for the disappointment of finishing fourth in the 10m synchronised event with Peter Waterfield last week.
It is also an indication of what Daley can still achieve in the sport and a fitting tribute to his beloved father, who died of cancer last year.
They have argued that the current system is incoherent and needs to change.
But the panel - the Commission on Assisted Dying - acknowledged that any new arrangements would have to be carefully regulated to protect the vulnerable.
What does the current law say?
The 1961 Suicide Act makes it an offence to encourage or assist a suicide or a suicide attempt in England and Wales.
Anyone doing so could face up to 14 years in prison.
The law is almost identical in Northern Ireland.
There is no specific law on assisted suicide in Scotland, creating some uncertainty, although in theory someone could be prosecuted under homicide legislation.
But despite this, scores of UK citizens have travelled to Dignitas in Switzerland to end their lives - and no relative who has helped them has faced prosecution.
Wasn't the system changed last year though?
There was no change in the law, but the director of public prosecutions did set out the factors which would be taken into consideration when deciding if someone would face prosecution for helping someone to die.
He was asked to do this by the Law Lords after a multiple sclerosis sufferer argued that she had a right to know if her husband would face charges for helping her to go abroad to end her life.
The factors listed included whether the victim had reached a "voluntary, clear, settled and informed" decision.
There was also particular emphasis on the motivation of the suspect. They would be expected to have acted "wholly compassionately" and not for financial reasons, the director said.
The idea was that it would give people who were asking their loved ones to help them die an indication of whether they would then face charges.
However, the director stopped short of saying he would offer guarantees as the individual circumstances of each case would still need to be investigated.
What does the commission call for?
It says there is a "strong case" for change.
The panel highlighted the fact that the legal system was effectively turning a blind eye to some cases of assisted dying and argued it would be better to have a clear set of guidelines under which assisted dying could be permitted.
They said it should only be available to those who are over 18, have less than 12 months to live, were acting voluntarily and have the mental capacity to make such a decision.
This would rule out dementia patients - as in the latter stages of the disease their mental capabilities would be considered insufficient to take such a decision.
But it would mean people with cancer, who have say nine months to live, would be able to apply for an assisted death.
They would then have to be assessed by two independent doctors to ensure they met the eligibility criteria.
So will the law be changing then?
No. The commission was not set up by government and, therefore, carries no official weight. The government has already said there are no immediate plans to change the law.
In fact, it was established and funded by campaigners who have been calling for a change in the law.
Because of this some groups, including the British Medical Association, refused to take part, arguing it was not independent enough.
Instead, the report will be used to add weight to the campaign to get the law changed.
There have already been several attempts to legalise assisted suicide, but these have been rejected.
The most recent, in 2006, was defeated in the House of Lords by 148 votes to 100.

Six severe flood warnings are now in place across the city after the Rivers Foss and Ouse burst their banks.
Up to 3,500 properties in the city are at risk and between 300 and 400 people are being evacuated.
Several residents near the River Foss are though to be trapped in their homes.
Latest updates from northern England
A man waiting to be evacuated from his home nearby said there were about a dozen people stuck in flats surrounded by water.
"It is really alarming. The whole of town is flooded, it is really extreme - I've never seen anything like this," he said.
"Half of York is underwater."
Residents described the water surging through the city as a "nightmare".
Erica Hammill, who runs Hotel 53 in the Piccadilly area of York, said they are desperately trying to stem the flood damage.
"Our hotel guests are having to climb out of the ground floor windows to get out because the reception area is flooded," she said.
"It's a nightmare. We are getting supplies, sandbags, pumps to mop up the flood damage. But water is coming back in."
Sarah Lakin, who owns The Fossgate Social cafe-bar, had to close last night after water began to flood the cellar. She said the damage was worse on Sunday.
"I've come in this morning and it's right up to the top of the cellar so we're now lifting everything up another floor," she said. "It's a couple of grand [of equipment] gone under water."
Lisa Pallister, 36, was rescued from her home in the Huntington area of the city by boat.
"We didn't think it would reach us because we're raised off the ground and have three storeys but, by this morning, it was on the steps, so we had a boat ride out," she said.
"We're feeling all right. A bit tired, a bit shocked. We're lucky though, a lot of other residents were flooded last night early on."
Janice Findlay has described how water poured into her home.
"The water was coming in a foot every twenty minutes, then another foot, then another foot," she said. "Then we realised we had to get everything out.
"The water then became very dirty, black."
Student Alex Light said the scale of the flooding in the city is worse than previous years.
"The general atmosphere is that it's quite bad," he said. "York has flooded [previously], however it's usually only one of the rivers that floods and this time it's both of them.
"So instead of just a few areas being hit it's the whole city."
York resident Andy Tricklebank said the floods were worse than those suffered in 2002.
"The river has been high for months, so the flooding on top of that has made things worse," he added.
The single mother won the cash just three months after netting £30,000 with the same bookmaker.
William Hill said the latest prize was the largest ever won by one of its customers.
The woman, who lives on an island in the north of Scotland and works in a school, described the accumulated jackpot win as "surreal".
She has asked to remain anonymous.
She has booked a trip to Disneyworld for herself and her seven-year-old son but has no idea what she will do with the rest of her winnings.
"I was washing the dishes this morning and thought to myself - 'no matter how much money you have, you still have to wash the dishes,' she said.
"It is all still so surreal. You obviously play these games, hoping to win a couple of quid, not a couple of million. I'm still stunned."
The woman won a total of £2.558m on The Festival of Lights Vegas game.
A spokesman for William Hill said: "This, by our reckoning is the biggest sum that a William Hill customer has ever won. It is an incredible, life changing sum of money."
A "leave" vote would oblige the banks, insurance companies and other financial businesses that use London as a base for their European operations to move some of their business into the eurozone.
Frankfurt, Germany's financial capital, hopes to be top of their list of possible new homes.
"In the unlikely event that the UK were to leave, Frankfurt would clearly be a main beneficiary," says Hubertus Vaeth, who runs Frankfurt Main Finance, the industry association for the city's banks.
"Though Frankfurt would benefit from such a move, the loss would be the EU's as a whole. So we will not want to benefit at the expense of the entire EU."
Nonetheless, Dr Vaeth says, people are getting ready. "Quite a few actors have prepared. Don't ask me for names, because nobody wants to be quoted on that - but we do know from quite a few players that they have plans for such an unlikely event," he says.
"You have to plan for all sorts of events, and even the unlikely ones."
Earlier this year, three former UK ambassadors to the EU warned that other financial centres in Europe would "not be sentimental in seeking to challenge the City's prominence".
It doesn't follow that the Frankfurt is actively hoping for Brexit. It's a cosmopolitan city and home to one of the European project's great institutions, its central bank. The disruption that Brexit would cause is likely to be keenly felt here.
German business is strongly anti-Brexit. A recent survey by the Bertelsmann Stiftung think-tank found that 83% of German businesses opposed it.
There is no guarantee that Frankfurt would be the unrivalled beneficiary.
HSBC has already said it would move its business to Paris, where it owns a French bank. Luxembourg would also be in the running. And Dublin would have the appeal of being an English-speaking city - with a better reputation than Frankfurt as a place for fun.
Frankfurt's dull image is perhaps not entirely fair. It has art museums, an opera house, and a top-flight football team. Twelve of the city's restaurants have been awarded a coveted Michelin star (although admittedly London has more than five times that number).
Frankfurt is in many ways an easier city to live in. Residents are spared the misery of London's crowded, expensive commutes, and its well-connected airport is just a 15 minute ride from the centre by taxi.
Perhaps most appealingly, a penthouse apartment fit for a Master of the Universe would cost less than a third of an equivalent property in London, says David Schmitt of Engel and Voelkers, a high-end estate agent based next to the old Opera House.
His business is likely to be a major beneficiary if Brexit does come.
"I think for us there will be an upside," Mr Schmitt says, given that more bankers means demand for homes.
"I think prices will go up by 10 or 15% because the market is very tight already. There is high pressure on the real estate market, and this makes the pressure even higher."
Of course, rising house prices are not universally hailed as a good thing, especially in a country which doesn't share the British obsession with owning the roof over one's head.
"For people trying to get on the property ladder, that might not be an advantage," says local businessman Martin Frank.
Mr Frank runs SchuF, a small family-owned valve-making firm he calls the "epitome" of the Mittelstand - the manufacturers that many regard as the bedrock of German industrial might.
His company has a factory in Devon, and he worries that Brexit might lead to tariffs being imposed on UK exports to Europe and vice versa, harming his business.
He also fears Britain's departure would rob the EU's decision-making process of a strong advocate for reform and liberalisation.
"Europe is definitely divided into different camps, and Britain is definitely in the reforming camp," Mr Frank says. "So I think Germany, which is probably more in the reforming side than it used to be, would not welcome Britain leaving."
A "leave" vote would bring great uncertainty - and the size of the potential boost to Frankfurt is far from clear. But the possible opportunity has certainly been noticed.
"This is a 'get things done' city," Dr Vaeth says. "Housing obviously would be a little bit of a challenge, but housing in London is even more of a challenge.
"So relatively speaking would it be a problem? No, clearly not. The infrastructure is in place, the skills are in place, the technical infrastructure is there. Housing? Offices? What needs to be done will be done - fast."
Few in Frankfurt want Brexit, but it seems they are ready if it comes.
If Ecuadoreans did not know who the Wikileaks founder was, or why he has become the thorn in the side of their country's relationship with the UK, they will doubtless get to know their new house guest in the coming weeks.
And this even though he is still a long way off from making it into Ecuador.
Just around the corner from the foreign ministry in Quito is a small street restaurant called The Clay Bowl.
As thin steaks and chicken breasts sizzle on the grill, most customers remain resolutely unimpressed with the entire diplomatic debacle.
Questions about Mr Assange are generally answered with a bemused shake of the head.
But the young chef turning the steaks at the grill is more forthcoming.
"I know him and I don't think we should judge other people," he says.
"Only God can judge people and if we're in a position to help someone who needs it, well, then they're very welcome."
Then he echoes the sentiment of his president, saying: "We're free to do as we please."
It is that freedom to grant diplomatic immunity and asylum to whoever they please that has galvanised President Rafael Correa's supporters.
One man on a busy Quito thoroughfare says Mr Assange is being persecuted by the US for simply "telling the truth" and it was right for Ecuador to support him.
Deputy Foreign Minister Rafael Quintero told the BBC that Mr Assange wanted to come to Ecuador as he felt "his human rights, civilian rights, civic rights and political rights would be protected".
"We only hope that the government of the United Kingdom will respect the sovereign decision of the Ecuadorean peoples," he said.
Many people in Ecuador share the feeling that the move to grant Mr Assange asylum was just, and that the British Foreign Office had implicitly threatened the country over the right to revoke the embassy's diplomatic status under the UK's Diplomatic and Consular Premises Act of 1987.
But as the dust begins to settle from the initial announcement, some Ecuadoreans are also beginning to worry.
One officer worker in Quito said there could be a knock-on effect on jobs in Ecuador, and feared the Assange decision might alienate friends around the world. "Then we, the workers, would be punished", she said.
For others, there is a certain irony that Mr Assange has turned to Mr Correa for help as a fellow defender of free speech.
Cesar Ricaurte is the director of Fundamedios, a press freedom organisation.
"I think this is a sort of public-relations exercise," he says of the Assange decision. "It's an effort by the government to 'wash its face' - the face we see all the time in Ecuador."
Mr Ricaurte says journalists in Ecuador who are critical of the government operate in a "climate of constant aggression and hostility".
"Every week, there's something new. The government recently published photos of journalists considered to be 'enemies' in the state-run media, something which obviously puts those journalists at risk."
He also claims the government has closed some 20 media outlets under Mr Correa, including radio stations and a TV channel, using what he called "arbitrary administrative pretexts". Others have been directly punished for their anti-government editorial lines, Fundamedios claims.
Nevertheless, the representative for Reporters Without Borders in Ecuador, Eric Samson, says a word of caution should enter the debate.
The idea that Mr Assange is at risk of a second extradition from Sweden to the United States, where he could face charges which potentially carry the death penalty, is legitimate, Eric Samson argues.
"It is a real fear, and can't be dismissed," he says.
The entire diplomatic dispute is taking place in a climate of heightened tension with the UK following its handling of Argentina's reiteration of its claim to the Falkland Islands or Malvinas, around the 30th anniversary of the conflict.
Certainly, many think that the tone of the communication about the little-known 1987 law was an implicit threat, and one which automatically raises tensions with South America, where many remember the interventionist role of the West during the Cold War only too well.
In the end, as Mr Samson points out, the issue of Mr Assange facing questioning over sexual-assault allegations in Sweden is getting further and further away from the discourse in Ecuador.
"There is a series of interests at play here and not all of them have to do with Julian Assange or Wikileaks," he says.
Michael Freshwater, 49, was found stabbed to death at a flat in St Denys, Southampton in April.
Portsmouth Crown Court heard the property was used for "cuckooing", where dealers take over drug users' homes in order to trade.
Four of the men were jailed and one man was given a suspended sentence.
They were all found guilty last month of conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine worth about £676,000 worth between June 2015 and April 2016.
Police uncovered the plot after Mr Freshwater's body was found at an address in Westridge Road.
The killing "created panic" among drug dealers in the city, which led to evidence in the case being unearthed.
Passing sentence, Judge Linda Sullivan QC said the flat had been taken over by drug-dealers to use as a base, as part of a "sophisticated conspiracy".
No-one has been charged with Mr Freshwater's murder, and police have said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the death.
Daniel Ferrett, 29, of Darlington Gardens, Southampton received four-and-a-half years .
Tristan Pope, 22, of no fixed address, was jailed for eight years.
Kevin Suika, 23, of Holloway Road, north London, was jailed for six years.
Dantai Thompson, 18, of Dorset Road, Bromley, south east London, was sentenced to two years.
Daniel Sadler, 35, of King Georges Avenue, Southampton, received a two year suspended sentence.
Mr Freshwater's partner Jenny Downey said at court: "I miss him terribly and nothing's ever going to bring him back."
The father-of-four, who was known as Micky, died from a stab wound, a post-mortem examination found.
A reward of £10,000 from the Crimestoppers charity, for information that leads to the successful conviction of anyone responsible for Mr Freshwater's death, remains on offer.
A sixth man, Jammoy Bent, 25, of Golden Grove, Southampton, will be sentenced on 3 February, after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine.
They argue the current approach is working against the Syrian opposition and helping Mr Assad to stay in power.
It was signed by 51 mid-to-high level officials who advise on Syria issues.
It is not unusual for internal "dissent cables" to be filed through State Department channels.
However, it is rare to have this number of diplomats voice opposition to a White House position.
A State Department spokesman acknowledged receipt of the memo but declined to comment on its contents.
However, an official familiar with the letter told the BBC that it was sent "because the status quo is not sustainable".

Why is there a war in Syria?
Profile: Aleppo, Syria's second city
Life inside rebel-held Aleppo
The document urges a credible threat of military action against the Assad government. Otherwise, it says, Damascus will feel no pressure to negotiate with the rebels.
This reflects concerns that the collapse of a joint US-Russian peace process is benefitting the regime.
There have been violations of the ceasefire by both the opposition and the government.
But President Assad has openly defied the truce, and his forces, backed militarily by Iran and Russia, seem intent on regaining strategic territory such as the crucial city of Aleppo.
Moscow argues that it is supporting strikes against jihadist insurgents not covered by the ceasefire.
But Secretary of State John Kerry, who has pushed opposition groups to lay down their arms, is growing increasingly frustrated as the Syrian regime continues to change facts on the ground while he calls for diplomacy.
"The United States is not going to sit there and be used as an instrument that permits a so-called ceasefire to be in place while one principal party is trying to take advantage of it to the detriment of the entire process," he said recently.
Mr Kerry has pressed the administration for tougher action against the regime in order to force it to the negotiating table, and signatories to the dissent letter believe he'll be sympathetic to their concerns, according to sources involved in the process.
But that's unlikely to sway the Obama administration, which has prioritised the fight against so called Islamic State (IS) in Syria and largely stayed clear of the civil war.
President Obama is wary of being drawn into another Mid-East conflict after the messy results of US intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
However, his possible successor, presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, has argued for a more assertive policy in Syria, including stronger support for non-Islamist rebels.
Perhaps the letter is aimed as much at her as it is at Mr Kerry.
Police said Ryan Harrison, from Woking, was with a friend at Guildford station at 23:40 GMT on Saturday when he became involved in the confrontation which involved a number of other men.
Shortly afterwards, Mr Harrison, 22, was fatally injured by a train.
Three men were arrested on suspicion of murder and later released on bail.
In a statement issued through British Transport Police, Mr Harrison's family said: "Ryan was the biggest, brightest ray of sunshine for us. He loved life, his family and his friends."
The family paid tribute to a brother, son and boyfriend who they said they were lucky to have had in their lives.
The statement continued: "He always looked so smart and gorgeous. He was ambitious in life and loved to party. He was a true sun worshipper and always had to have a tan.
"His family have been totally devastated by his loss, and we ask to be left in peace and given time to grieve.
"We would like to thank everyone for their kind words and tributes - we take strength from seeing how much he was loved by everyone that knew him.
"He had the biggest, kindest heart, and a bright light has been turned off in all of us that knew and loved him."
South East Coast Ambulance Service paramedics attended the incident but Mr Harrison was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two 19-year-old men from Guildford were arrested at the scene while a third man, from Cranleigh, handed himself into a police station in Guildford later.
All three have been released until a date in May while police inquiries continue.
Officers are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death and are examining CCTV footage.
Det Ch Insp Iain Miller, senior investigating officer, said: "Our thoughts remain with Ryan's family as they try to come to terms with what happened.
"This is clearly a very painful and difficult time for them."
The station was cordoned off until the early hours of Sunday morning while forensic officers conducted a search.
Mr Miller added they were treating the death as suspicious and asked anyone who was at the station at the time to contact police.

"It was disappointing to come out on the losing side, but I think there were a lot of positives to come out of today," Jenner told BBC Radio Jersey.
"Papua New Guinea got off to an absolute flyer and we managed to drag them back.
"Without making excuses for today, yesterday took quite a lot out of us emotionally. To win [against Hong Kong], we were all on a massive high and today is pretty annoying."
Fourteen teams are competing over the next fortnight for the six remaining spots at next year's World T20 in India.
The start was delayed by more than an hour because of earlier rain, and when Jersey won the toss they again chose to bowl first.
Papua New Guinea raced to 40-0 from the opening four overs, but left-arm spinner Ben Stevens stemmed the flow of runs, first dismissing opener Lega Siaka (26) who was caught at deep square leg by Corne Bodenstein, and then taking a caught and bowled chance to send Tony Ura back to the pavilion.
Jersey skipper Peter Gough kept ringing the bowling changes, giving his attack single-over spells, and successfully upset the rhythm of the innings.
Kila Pala was dropped on 17 on the boundary by Corey Bisson, but he was gone in the very next over bowled by youngster Rhys Palmer.
The majority of the PNG batsmen got starts, but they lost wickets at regular intervals, which saw them stutter to 145-9. In all Jersey used eight bowlers, with Stevens and Anthony Kay both taking 3-24.
In reply, Gough and wicketkeeper Ed Farley struggled to get the ball to the boundary in the early overs, and Gough was caught for 14 after pulling a short ball and failing to connect properly.
Sussex academy player Jenner started to find his stride at the midway point in the run chase, including a huge reverse-swept six, but he was caught by Norman Vanua off the bowling of Willia Gavera for 44 soon after.
It left the Channel Islanders needing 55 runs from the last six overs with Stevens and fellow all-rounder Nat Watkins at the crease, but they both went in quick succession and Jersey's lower order never looked equal to the task facing them and Chuggy Perchard was the last man out in the final over.
The qualifier, jointly hosted by Ireland and Scotland, is the most high-profile tournament in which Jersey have competed, having booked their place in the event by topping the ICC T20 European Division One on home turf in May.
Also in Group A, leaders Ireland made it two wins out of two, beating the United States by 46 runs at Stormont.
Top team in each group qualify automatically for World Twenty20 2016 - and semi-finals
Second, third and fourth-place teams qualify for quarter-finals, with a further four World T20 places available
The 50 year old is the founder and boss of the only large-scale brewery in Kenya actually owned by a Kenyan.
Mrs Karanja, one of only a handful of female brewery owners across Africa, set up the business - Keroche Breweries - with her husband back in 1997.
Initially making a fortified wine, the company has since moved into spirits and, from 2008, making beer.
Its lager brand Summit is now so popular in the country that earlier this year Keroche opened a $29m (£19m) expansion at its brewery in the town of Naivasha, 90km (56 miles) north west of the capital Nairobi.
It will enable Keroche to increase its production ten-fold, from 10 million litres of beer per year to 110 million litres.
The success has come despite the presence of a Goliath that has towered over the Kenyan beer market for more than 90 years - East African Breweries (EAB), part of UK-headquartered, multinational drinks giant Diageo.
EAB continues to brew eight out of every 10 beers sold in Kenya, led by its Tusker brand.
Such has been EAB's dominance that Mrs Karanja has faced a struggle finding distributors willing to sell her beer.
She has also had to battle against big tax rises and copycat rivals.
Yet Mrs Karanja says she is confident that the expansion will enable Keroche to increase its share of the Kenyan beer market from 5% to 20%, and increase its inroads into EAB's part of the market.
The first of 10 children born into a middle-class family, Mrs Karanja says she was lucky enough to have gone to one of the best schools in Kenya.
After graduating she initially worked as a librarian, but she says she could not shake off the desire to start and run a business.
So after marrying her husband they co-ran a hardware store for seven years, but then she says she wanted to do something more interesting.
"I got bored running the shop, and started looking for new opportunities in the world of business," she says.
Despite having no experience of the drinks industry, Mrs Karanja recognised a gap in the market - the fact that low income Kenyans struggled to afford to buy the beer and other alcoholic products of EAB and the other global firms, such as SAB Miller.
Instead too many Kenyans were being injured or even killed by dangerous homemade brews.
To solve this problem and hopefully establish a viable business, Mrs Karanja came up with the idea of making a fortified wine, which despite being low priced, would be made to high standards.
So using their savings, Mrs Karanja and her husband set up Keroche, with her as chief executive and her husband as chairman.
Employing staff with drinks industry experience, they initially took on five employees.
And in a country used to all alcoholic drinks coming in glass bottles, they decided to use plastic bottles instead to keep the cost down. This however, did not initially go down well with consumers, when the fortified wine, called Viena, was released.
Mrs Karanja says: "The initial days of the business were the toughest, getting people to trust our plastic packaged products was not easy, many people thought we were packaging some dangerous stuff that could knock out drinkers."
Keroche also faced a problem in getting Viena distributed, as most distributors wished to continue working solely for EAB.
So instead Mrs Karanja had to set up her own network of agents.
Over the next five years sales slowly built up, but Ms Karanja says that the business was then hit by copycats, small producers setting up to make their own fortified wines sold in plastic bottles.
She says that these wines were often unsafe, including some which stole the Viena name and pretended to be the real thing.
As a result of health concerns, the Kenyan government substantially increased taxation on the new sector.
So Keroche stopped making fortified wine and moved into beer, gin, vodka, and wine imported from South Africa, all sold in glass bottles.
Today the business has a 20% share of the overall drinks market in Kenya, and 5% of beer sales. It employs 300 people, and its annual turnover is $63m.
The continuing success of the company has seen Mrs Karanja win a number of pan-African business leader awards.
And although Keroche's products are currently only on sale in Kenya, she is now eyeing expansion into Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda, and thanks her husband and all the staff for the business's continuing success.
She says: "I value and trust that my staff will always do their work the right way.
"I allow everyone to perform their duties without breathing down their necks. However, I'm a hands on person who knows everything that goes on around here."
Spider-Man: Coming of Age, Spider-Man: Greatness Awaits, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Suspended.
Late last week the film studio registered over a dozen website names relating to variations of the different subtitles.
The domains currently all redirect to the main Sony Pictures website.
The new film is due to start filming later this year and will star British actor Tom Holland as the superhero and his alter-ego Peter Parker, a role previously played on screen by fellow Brit Andrew Garfield and by Tobey Maguire.
The filmmakers have previously said that in this new incarnation Peter Parker will be a high school student.
Some of the registered titles could be symbolically referring to the young superhero coming to terms with his potential.
Sony has controlled the movie rights to the Marvel Comics character since 1999.
Last year they struck a deal with Disney owned Marvel Studios that now allows Spider-Man to appear on-screen in the hugely successful Marvel cinematic universe - home to characters including Robert Downey Junior's Iron Man and Chris Evans's Captain America.
And the web-slinger will be seen alongside those and other Avengers characters in this month's Captain America: Civil War.
The deal also allows those characters to potentially appear in the new Spider-Man series which Marvel Studios is producing for Sony.
In the past film studios registering web domains has led to the titles of films being revealed before they're officially announced. Most notably with the Bond film Skyfall in 2011.
Studios have also sometimes registered titles that have never come to be used.
The new Spider-Man film is due to be released July 2017.
Jason O'Connor, a senior executive in charge of attracting Chinese high-rollers, was sentenced to 10 months by the Baoshan District Court in Shanghai.
Jerry Xuan and Pan Dan received nine-month jail terms. All are likely to be freed soon after time spent on remand.
Casino gambling and promoting gambling abroad, are illegal in mainland China.
In all 17 current and two former employees of Crown Resorts were convicted. All the other defendants are Chinese apart from one who is Malaysian.
Thirteen defendants received jail terms of similar lengths to the Australians. Three others bailed last November were spared prison or a fine.
The arrests took place in October last year, after a police operation believed to target Crown's marketing activities.
Crown Resorts is controlled by Australian billionaire James Packer.
Like other casino groups across Asia, it sees wealthy Chinese gamblers as an important part of its business.
International high-rollers, known as VIPs, gambled $46.8bn (£37bn; A$61bn) in the last financial year in Crown's Melbourne and Perth casinos.
Crown said that Chinese gamblers only made up half this total and counted for just 12% of total revenue for the business.
The move was introduced for players at the Blue Square Bet Premier club a few weeks ago but now the policy has been extended to the whole stadium.
The Gloucestershire club is owned by Dale Vince who is a vegan who runs green electricity company Ecotricity.
Free-range poultry and fish from sustainable stocks will continue to be served.
Communications director Tom Williams said: "Following discussions with the manager and on nutritional advice, it was decided to no longer feed our team red meat for health and performance reasons.
"[It has now been] decided that this policy should be extended to the stadium, at least in part as a further step in establishing ourselves as a "green" organisation.
"We appreciate some will miss their burgers and sausages, but our catering staff are working hard on a range of tasty and interesting products to replace those that are no longer available.
"This is obviously a break with tradition but in time we hope that many will come to see it as a step forward rather than a step backwards.
"We're a country now where apparently chicken tikka masala is the most popular national dish. I think the old sausage bap won't be much lamented."
Mr Vince added that "if red meat was not good enough to feed our players, then it wasn't good enough for our staff, fans and visitors too".
He said: "At its worst it means once every two weeks watching a football game without being able to eat red meat.
"Anybody that really needs it can bring a ham sandwich or something if they wish - that's no problem."
Tim Barnard, who is chairman of Forest Green Rovers' Supporters Trust, said: "There were a few raised eyebrows on Saturday when there was no cottage pie.
"But I'm a traditional chips and curry sauce man myself so it doesn't really affect me."
A spokeswoman for the Vegetarian Society said: "A diet lower in meat, particularly red meat, and higher in plant-based food is lower in fat, higher in fibre and higher in trace minerals.
"Anything the British population as a whole can do to reduce their reliance on meat has got to be positive."
The study has been prepared by the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP).
According to the analysis, membership has had "a significant positive impact" on the environment.
But pro-Brexit campaigners dismissed the report as "complete tosh".
The report says that EU rules have led to a substantial decline in most industrial sources of air and water pollution, a fall in greenhouse gas emissions and the rapid recent growth of renewable energy.
It also credits European policies with bringing about a major increase in recycling rates, along with the establishment of a system for the review of the safety of chemicals.
Leaving Europe entirely would mean that future UK governments could make widespread changes to levels of environmental protection.
"The risks of withdrawing from the EU are significant for nature," says the report.
The Birds and Habitats Directives - policies that are the backbone of conservation in the EU and both of which have generated significant improvement for species and habitats - would no longer apply.
Instead, the UK government would be at liberty to change this legislation.
Judging by the UK government's responses to a range of environmental proposals from the European Commission in recent years, it seems more likely that the current government and possibly its successors would opt for a "less ambitious approach than that adopted by the EU".
It cites the example of the debate over the expansion of Heathrow airport: "With no requirement to implement EU law, the approval of these kinds of developments could leave populations at risk of increased exposure in the future."
The report argues that the UK would be excluded from decision-making on EU law and this would be "an unequivocal drawback of departure".
Separating UK, EU and international environmental law, built up over four decades, "would be a considerable challenge and a source of significant uncertainty".
The report also says that there are drawbacks to remaining within Europe.
It can take a long time to get agreements and it does not always produce clear policy: for example, the EU definition of "waste", which can be interpreted in many different ways.
It says that the Common Agricultural Policy has been responsible for the mass industrialisation of agriculture.
The relatively recent "greening" elements of the Common Agricultural Policy - designed to support practices beneficial to the climate and the environment - are overly bureaucratic and some farmers and NGOs question whether they will have any effect.
The report also argues that the Common Fisheries Policy has been complicated and controversial and has failed to effectively protect the marine environment.
But former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson dismissed the principal conclusion of the report as "complete tosh".
"It's not true that leaving the EU would harm the environment," he said.
"We would do a much better job if we were outside. We would be able to interpret the legislation - such as the Bern Convention (on the Conservation of European and Wildlife Habitats) to our own flora and fauna, while also being an active participant in other bodies."
The UK's leading conservation bodies - WWF, the RSPB and the Wildlife Trusts are calling for clarity from both the "in" and "out" camps to say what they will do for the environment.
WWF-UK's Director of Advocacy Trevor Hutchings said, "Not everything that comes from Europe has been good for the natural world, but on balance membership of the EU has delivered benefits for our environment that would be hard to replicate in the event of the UK leaving."
Commenting on the IEEP report, Friends of the Earth campaigner Sam Lowe said:
"This welcome report by the IEEP is yet further evidence that the UK's environmental interests are better served inside the EU. It is not possible to address the challenges of the future - such as climate change and the destruction of the natural world - alone. We should be working together, not pulling apart."

Marc McNulty gave Portsmouth an early lead when he found space on the edge of the box to fire past Luke McCormick.
Argyle soon levelled as Jamille Matt headed in and then spectacularly put his side ahead with an overhead kick.
Gary Roberts' second-half penalty brought Pompey level after Peter Hartley tripped McNulty in the area.
The two sides will meet again in the second leg at Home Park on Sunday for a place in the Wembley play-off final on 30 May.
Fleetwood loanee striker Matt looked to have grabbed the headlines in stunning fashion with his two early goals for the visitors.
He had happy memories of Fratton Park even before kick-off having headed the first goal when Derek Adams' men beat Pompey 2-1 last month.
But the 26-year-old was arguably fortunate to still be on the field when he netted his acrobatic second goal from a Kelvin Mellor long throw.
An off-the-ball incident involving him and Portsmouth captain Michael Doyle did not result in any punishment being dished out by referee Oliver Langford, but did lead to dismissals on the touchline.
Following consultation with fourth official Gavin Ward, Portsmouth manager Paul Cook and Plymouth assistant Paul Wotton were sent to the stands after a heated exchange.
An explosive opening was perhaps to be expected between two sides who were only separated by three points and one place in the regular season.
Portsmouth deservedly levelled six minutes after the restart as Roberts placed his penalty beautifully into the top corner.
But a questionable decision from referee Langford saw Plymouth centre-back Hartley only receive a yellow card when he appeared to be the last man when stopping McNulty's run into the visitors' box.
Portsmouth manager Paul Cook told BBC Radio Solent:
"Great game, fantastic game of football. Two very committed sides and some fantastic stuff.
"A great advertisement for League Two football and it's all to play for going into Sunday's decider. The lads have shown great character to get back into it. We'll feel aggrieved over decisions and I'm sure Plymouth will.
"But, let's talk about the football and not the referee."
Plymouth manager Derek Adams told BBC Sport:
"It was an excellent game and we thoroughly deserved to go 2-1 ahead.
"We probably should've won the game on the night. We've had good opportunities and it was a very good performance from us.
"We passed the ball well and we had to deal with a fair amount of Portsmouth pressure.
"But, we dealt with the atmosphere exceptionally well. When you go to the home leg, you've got your own fans behind you. I think tonight's shown what the home fans can do for you."
Dan y Wenallt, starring Rhys Ifans and Charlotte Church, was chosen by Bafta as the UK's entry for the Best Foreign Language Film award.
The film failed to make it through the first round of voting, with just nine of 80 longlisted films remaining.
Two previous S4C foreign language film submissions have led to nominations - Hedd Wyn and Solomon a Gaenor.
A partnership between fFatti fFilms, Tinopolis, Ffilm Cymru Wales, Goldfinch Pictures and S4C, Under Milk Wood was the first film adaptation of the play since 1972, with both Welsh and English language versions filmed at the same time.
The final five Oscar nominees will be announced in January, ahead of the ceremony in February 2016.
About 500,000 people rely on the support, which includes help with washing and dressing.
The UK Homecare Association poll of more than 200 councils found 28 paid a "minimum price" of £15.74 an hour.
This is the price the body, which represents the agencies that provide the home care for councils, believes reflects the national minimum wage.
The UKHCA warned if the squeeze on fees continued, the care sector would become "unsustainable".
The "minimum price" has been calculated by using the national minimum wage and then adding to that the costs of running the service, including travel costs for staff and pension contributions.
Of the £15.74 fee, 47p is set aside for profit or surplus.
To find out how many councils - or health and care trusts in Northern Ireland - paid that amount, the UKHA asked all 211 bodies for the information, under the Freedom of Information Act.
In total 206 responded, with 28 paying above that rate to external agencies, which provide the majority of the care in the UK.
The UK average was £13.66 an hour, with Northern Ireland having the lowest average rates at £11.35 out of the four parts of the UK. Wales had the highest at £14.28.
The amount paid ranged from under £11 an hour in Liverpool, Knowsley, and by Northern Ireland's Western trust, to over £22 an hour in Inverclyde.
The BBC has launched an online guide to the care system for the over-65s. The "care calculator" covers both residential care and the support provided in people's own homes, for tasks such as washing and dressing.
Users can submit their postcode and find out how much each service costs where they live in the UK.
There is also a dedicated BBC Cost of Care website with news stories, analysis and video.
UKHCA policy director Colin Angel said: "Low prices paid for home care carry a number of risks, including poor terms and conditions for the workforce, insufficient resources to organise the service and insufficient training for the complex work that supports the increasingly frail and disabled individuals.
"Unless this underfunding is addressed, the independent and voluntary sector will continue to struggle to recruit and retain care workers with the right disposition, training and qualifications.
"Ultimately, the care market will become commercially unsustainable."
Caroline Abrahams, of Age UK, said the low rates were "just another symptom of a social care system that is grotesquely underfunded".
"Everyone is losing out as a result, care providers, front-line staff and older people most of all," she said.
And Councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said the squeeze on finances had "forced councils to ask providers to run services on tighter margins".
"It is clear that continued cuts to funding for adult social care is putting an impossible squeeze on councils and providers to deliver care for our most vulnerable," she added.
Coleman, 46, who is from the city, was presented with the master of science (MSc) accolade at the University's Great Hall on Wednesday.
He was recently appointed an OBE after guiding Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 - its first major tournament in 58 years.
He said he was "delighted and honoured" with the award.
"It means so much that the recognition comes from my home city," he added. "I accept on behalf of all my family and friends who have helped me succeed in my chosen profession."
Swansea's honorary degree awards are made annually to recognise those who have made outstanding contributions to the university, region and Wales.
Coleman, whose side was knocked out by eventual Euro 2016 winners Portugal, was granted the freedom of Swansea in October.
Graves dated to the mid 1800s at the former Lion Terrace Chapel, which stood on the A465 Head of the Valleys Road at Gilwern.
Archaeologists had expected to remove about 12 burials due to information found on five remaining head stones.
The road between Gilwern and Brynmawr is due to be completed by 2018.
Experts exhumed the remains by hand before they were taken by private ambulance to a local chapel of rest.
Permission to remove the remains was given by the Ministry of Justice in September under The Disused Burial Grounds (Amendment) Act 1981.
Construction firm Costain said the reburials will take place at the council cemetery adjacent to St Elli Church in Gilwern along with a prayer service when all the remains have been reinterred.
The plan of those who favour staying in the EU will be to focus on the economy, to demand from the "outs" what the British economy would look like outside the EU.
It is a campaign that will focus heavily on risk and security. And if the polls are close in the run-up to the referendum they foresee pressure on the pound and that will only serve to underpin the warnings from some of the heavyweights in the business community that leaving the EU would be a dangerous gamble.
What, almost certainly, will not determine the outcome of the referendum is the detail of the expected deal with the EU.
Few will study closely "emergency brakes" or "red cards" or safeguards for British interests. How they vote will be decided by instinct, by gut, by visceral feelings about the EU.
The referendum comes at a moment of voter frustration, of anger, of resentment - a new restlessness that marks the politics of Europe and the US.
In Europe, there is an anti-establishment mood, a turning away from mainstream parties. And if there is one issue above all others that stokes this mood it is migration.
I have heard several Tory MPs say that the referendum will not be about Europe directly but migration.
Those who want to stay in the EU fear the tides of spring will bring new migrants to Europe's shores and - rightly or not - will make the outcome of the referendum harder to predict.
The backdrop to this vote is the big divide of the time, two sharply differing views of the world. This is partly a caricature but it pits globalists against anti-establishment populists.
This is not to say that the ins and outs fit neatly into these camps - they don't, but the referendum will be held when these currents are proving potent in European and American politics.
The globalists see a gradual withering away of the nation state, weakened in the face of global challenges such as climate change, terrorism and migration.
They count themselves as internationalists who see multiculturalism as the future, a reality which cannot be undone or reversed.
They tend to view their opponents as backward-looking, nostalgic, isolationists, old-fashioned nationalists some of whom they suspect are tinged with racism.
On the other side, the anti-establishment populists rail against a global technocratic elite that glides between capitals seemingly answerable to no-one; career politicians acting in their own interests.
The populists resent the influence of bankers; they are angry at the rise of inequality; they protest against the disappearance of secure jobs; they are agitated by the weakening of identity through migration and they fear losing their place in this fast-churning world.
Polls suggest the race is close. Excluding don't knows, YouGov's average figures are: remain in the EU 51%, leave 49%
Under-30s are most pro-EU but least likely to vote; older voters are more likely to favour Brexit and more likely to vote
University graduates, a high-turnout group, are solidly pro-EU; those with fewest educational qualifications, who are more likely to stay at home, favour leaving
Tory voters are more evenly divided than supporters of any other party, being 55%-45% in favour of Brexit
As many as 28% of UKIP voters say they would vote to stay in the EU, suggesting their support for the party "taps into a wider mood of discontent than that generated by debates about Europe"
There is no gender gap (unlike in the Scottish referendum)
Most regions divide fairly evenly for In and Out. London and Scotland are exceptions, both clearly favouring continued EU membership.

In the new age of anxiety old political ties weaken. Voters are more footloose. They give their loyalty to start-up parties and then just as quickly withdraw it. They are consumer voters drawn to the mood of the moment.
This insecurity, this feeling of loss, this helplessness in the face of forces dimly understood finds much of its focus in migration.
In Europe last autumn, Angela Merkel tried to frame the debate when she accepted hundreds of thousands of migrants into Germany. She said that isolation, "sealing and cordoning yourself off in the age of the internet is an illusion". You cannot close the borders she said repeatedly.
"What we are experiencing now," said the German Chancellor, "is something that will change our continent in coming years."
And with that word "change" she stirred up stronger opposition and made starker the divide.
One of her conservative allies Horst Seehofer gave his response to change being unavoidable. "That is then a different country," he said. "And the people don't want Germany or Bavaria to become a different country."
Echoes of those doubts have sounded across Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe.
The prime minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, warned of the EU committing "ritual suicide" by letting in so many migrants. Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary, said simply: "We do not want a multicultural society."
Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Front in France, defines the new politics as a fight between what she calls "nationalists" and "bad globalists".
Others pick up on these insecurities. The former French President Nicholas Sarkozy, working on his comeback, directs his appeal to "La France de toujours" - eternal France.
This anti-establishment mood finds echoes in America on both the left and the right.
The middle class is financially squeezed and fearful and - in this primary season - courted by blowhards who insist that the certainties of the past can be reclaimed and that the complexities of the modern world are a failure of will and leadership.
Almost every candidate runs against Washington while anti-establishment candidates in Europe resent intrusions from Brussels.
In America some detect that the old political consensus lies fractured.
In his book The Unwinding, the writer George Packer says "no-one can say when the unwinding began, when the coil that held America together in its secure and sometime shifting grip first gave way".
What links Europe and America is the powerlessness of those in power in the face of globalisation or that is how it often appears. What many voters seem to want is control and authority.
So in the UK, the Out campaigns will base much of their appeal on promising to regain control of borders, of trade, of sovereignty.
In our shrinking world democratic parties have not found an answer to globalisation and that insecurity feeds into the rise of the anti-establishment parties.
And that is the fear of the In campaign in the referendum - that a significant number of people will see the vote as an opportunity to snub the establishment and to vent frustration.
Referendums are not always about the question asked on the paper.
The firm, which owns almost 2,000 food kiosks in airports and train stations including Upper Crust and Caffe Ritazza, is led by former WH Smith chief executive Kate Swann.
"An IPO [initial public offering] is the appropriate next step for a business of SSP's calibre, size and international scale," said Ms Swann.
SSP will use the money to reduce debts.
The group, which serves around a million customers a day, said it expected to issue new shares in the coming weeks.
SSP was spun out of catering giant Compass in 2006 and then bought by Scandinavian private equity group, EQT.
The statement said the listing would enable EQT to partially realise its investment in SSP.
However, it said EQT would also agree to hold onto some of its shares for specific periods of time as part of a lock-up agreement.
SSP, which runs outlets in 29 countries and employs 30,000 people, also operates outlets for Burger King, Costa and Marks & Spencer.
SSP's plans come at a difficult time for flotations.
Several companies have joined - or announced plans to join - the stock market in recent weeks, and there has been much debate about whether investors still have a strong appetite to buy shares in new listings.
Clothing chain Fat Face pulled its planned London listing last month, while shares in insurance-to-holidays firm Saga have fallen below their listing price.
On Monday, the Hungarian low cost airline Wizz Air cancelled plans to list on the London stock market citing "market volatility in the airline sector".
To date, the 23rd Bond adventure has earned £94.3m in the UK, beating the previous record holder, Avatar, which grossed £94m in 11 months.
Directed by Sam Mendes, Skyfall stars Daniel Craig in his third outing as Ian Fleming's suave spy, 007.
Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said they were "overwhelmed with gratitude" to cinema-goers.
"We are very proud of this film and thank everybody, especially Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes, who have contributed to its success," they said in a statement.
Skyfall opened in 587 cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 26 October, and is still on general release.
In terms of most attended films in the UK, Gone With the Wind still tops the list, with an estimated attendance of 35m, according to the British Film Institute.
It is followed by The Sound of Music with an audience of 30m and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at 28m.
The BFI said that, while figures for Skyfall have not yet been adjusted for inflation, it should be noted that Avatar took 90% of its box office receipts from the higher priced 3D and IMAX screenings.
Skyfall has shown at a limited number of IMAX screens but was not shot in 3D, which may indicate a higher audience than that of Avatar.
Globally, the film has earned $870m (£540m) in box office sales, trumping both Casino Royale in 2006 and Quantum of Solace in 2008, which both achieved $599m (£372m).
Burns was dropped twice - on 98 and 154 - as he batted throughout the entire day to move the hosts on from 113-1.
He shared a 104-run partnership with Dominic Sibley (57) but, despite the flat pitch, Hampshire, led by Kyle Abbott (2-45), kept chipping away.
A 62-run stand with Tom Curran (35 not out) saw Surrey reach stumps 89 runs short of the follow-on target of 499.
Burns batted superbly for his first Championship century of the season, striking 22 boundaries all around the ground, although he was fortunate that Sean Ervine and Rilee Rossouw could not hold edges in the slip cordon off Fidel Edwards and Mason Crane.
Hampshire began the day looking for 19 wickets to win and started well when Crane, who bowled unchanged for the entire first session, had nightwatchman Conor McKerr lbw.
Scott Borthwick feathered Abbott behind and Jason Roy (27) was trapped by an inswinger from Gareth Berg before Burns and Sibley steadied the innings with an important stand.
Abbott had Sibley lbw and a pacey and aggressive burst from Edwards shot out Ben Foakes and Sam Curran before Tom Curran and Burns secured a fourth batting point and reached the close.
Peter Gibbons died last year aged 90 at Ipswich Hospital, following a six-year battle with the disease.
Friends, who were executors of his will, told the East Anglian Daily Times they were shocked at the amount of money he left.
The hospital said it was the biggest donation it had received and said "thousands of people" would benefit.
More on this story and others from Suffolk
Mr Gibbons, from Bramford, Suffolk, was "thrifty" and sold second-hand cars and trailers, according to his friends Gary and Trisha Walton.
"You heard rumours about his money, but when we found out how much it was we were quite shocked.
"He was a lovable rogue - a bit of a wheeler dealer.
"People who knew him just knew that was the way he was - that was him and he was quite happy," said Mrs Walton.
Mr Gibbons always praised the care he received at the hospital and felt the nurses did not get paid enough, Mr Walton said.
The donation means the hospital can renovate four wards, improve the children's ward and use the rest of the money for projects suggested by staff.
Laurence Collins, non-executive director of the Ipswich Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Thousands of people will be touched every day by Mr Gibbons' kindness when they come into the hospital and see an environment which is completely transformed.
"This legacy will mean that we can go way over and above what we would normally be able to afford so that we deliver the best experience for patients, carers, visitors and staff." | Former Manchester United players Phil Neville and Paul Scholes were in the dugout for Salford City's 2-1 win over Kendal Town on Saturday.

He entered the shop on the Newtownards Road, close to the Dee Street junction, shortly before 09:10 BST on Saturday.
He threatened staff and escaped with cash. Police said the workers were not injured during the robbery.
The suspect was wearing a camouflage jacket, blue jeans and trainers and detectives have appealed for witnesses.
The index has dropped every day since China devalued its currency last week, landing investors with the longest losing streak since 2011.
The FTSE 100 index closed down 35.56 points at 6,367.89.
The sell-off was reflected across other major stock markets, with the main indexes in Germany and France down 2%.
However, commodity-related stocks were boosted after the dollar fell in the wake of the latest minutes from the US Federal Reserve, which left the timing of any US rate rise vague. Anglo American was one of the top risers, climbing 4.4%.
Shares in Kaz Minerals surged by nearly 14%. The company has been boosted by Kazakhstan's decision to allow its currency, the tenge, to devalue. Nearly half of Kaz's cost base is denominated in the tenge.
In China, the authorities intervened again on the stock market to little effect. Shares on the Shanghai Composite Index fell 3.4%.
The price of Brent crude oil was down 0.1% at $47.10 a barrel, although US crude recovered from earlier falls to stand 0.9% higher at $41.46.

He also indicated he was disappointed Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies had decided to vote to leave the EU in the referendum in June.
Mr Cameron made his comments in an interview on BBC Wales Today.
Leave.EU said the UK's net contribution to the EU budget was £9-12bn, so there was "no such thing as EU aid".
Earlier on Friday, Mr Cameron told an audience at GE Aviation, in Nantgarw, leaving the 28-member bloc would put 100,000 jobs in Wales at risk.
Asked on BBC Wales Today if he could make up the shortfall in EU aid for places like Wales after an exit, he said: "I think you can't be certain about that.
"We know, between 2014 and 2020, in the European budget is £1.8bn for Wales, vital money for economic development and important projects.
"Were we to leave, I believe there could be quite an economic dislocation.
"We might see higher interest rates. We might see higher unemployment. We might see higher prices.
"In those circumstances, of course, the United Kingdom government would always want to do everything it could for all the different parts of the United Kingdom, but you can't guarantee these things, because we might be in quite difficult economic circumstances."
In response, Leave.EU spokesman Jack Montgomery said: "Our net contribution to the EU budget is about £9-12 billion.
"So there's no such thing as EU aid in this country - the prime minister is trying to bribe us with our own money."
Earlier this week, Welsh Conservative leader Mr Davies said he was not convinced by an EU deal negotiated by Mr Cameron and would be backing the campaign to leave.
Mr Cameron, asked if he was disappointed by Mr Davies' decision, said: "It's always disappointing when someone doesn't back your view."
During his visit to Nantgarw, he said: "For Welsh MPs and members of the Welsh assembly, it's up to them to make their choice.
"But each of them has only one vote. It will be the people of Wales, the people of the United Kingdom who will make this decision."
Mr Cameron said three million jobs in the UK, including 100,000 in Wales, were "in some way reliant on European trade".
"I don't think we should put those at risk," he added.
"We have a big say in this market. We can make sure that we sign trade deals with other countries across the world. I think the alternatives would be worse."
Leave.EU boss Liz Bilney said the real threat to Welsh jobs came from remaining in an EU that "has devastated the steel industry" with policies that undermined business.
Speaking on the impact of cheap Chinese steel on the UK industry, Mr Cameron said the UK had been voting with other European countries on anti-dumping tariffs - a process where firms allegedly sell goods at prices below fair market value.
UKIP's Nigel Farage, who wants the UK to leave the union, has said powers to protect the steel industry from cheap Chinese imports had been "given away" to Brussels.
The figure compares to a net profit of about 600m New Taiwan dollars for the same period a year earlier.
The one-time market leader has struggled to compete against smartphones made by Samsung and Apple, among other firms.
HTC has also been dropped from the index of Taiwan's 50 largest firms.
The move followed a 66% slide in its share price this year and meant it could no longer trade on Taiwan's benchmark TWSE 50 index.
Foreign investors are usually reluctant to hold shares not listed on the main Taiwan index.
The weak results for the three months to September came as no surprise as the company had earlier issued a profit warning.
It has also said it is undergoing a massive restructuring program that will see some 15% of its workforce slashed.
In August the firm said its quarterly net loss for the three months to June was 8bn Taiwan new dollars.

Joshua Demarest, 13, died but his friend Tyler Day was found alive after being submerged for hours in New York.
A snow plough might have triggered the collapse as it dumped cleared snow on top of the mound, and Tyler told police he heard bleeps before "it went black".
Seven tonnes of snow was removed in the frantic, hours-long rescue in the upstate town of Greenwich.
Investigators were first called by Tyler's sister after he had not returned home by 17:00 local time.
Police, assisted by search dogs, followed the boys' tracks from their home and found their sled beside the mound of snow.
"I bet they moved seven tonnes of snow easily out of that pile by hand, shovels and snow rakes," Greenwich Police Chief George Bell said at a news conference.
Rescuers found Joshua but he was unresponsive and rushed to hospital, where he was declared dead at 22:00 local time. An hour later, the second boy was found alive in a pocket of air.
"You can actually see the little pocket in that huge bank that he survived in and it is nothing short of a miracle," said Mr Bell.
It was "a true accident," he added. "That's all I can tell you. A tragedy all the way around. There was no way that anybody could have seen the kids burrowed in back there."
Department of Public Works Superintendent Leo Flynn says it would have been impossible for his workers to have seen the teens beneath the snow.
"The guys are devastated," said Mr Flynn. "I mean again, they're all firemen. They all have kids in the school and grandkids and yeah, they're struggling with it."
The charges include conspiracy to rape, causing or inciting a girl aged 15 to engage in sexual activity, and indecent assault of a girl under 16.
The men were charged as part of Thames Valley Police's Operation Rolo after police raids in the city last month.
The offences were allegedly committed between 2000 and 2005.
The suspects are aged between 34 and 42 and cannot be named for legal reasons. Five other men have already been charged.
All nine men will appear before Oxford Crown Court on the 18 November.
Four further suspects arrested during the raids, on suspicion of similar crimes, have been released on police bail until January.
A bodysuit thought to be the one Cathy Freeman wore when she lit the 2000 Olympic flame in Sydney has turned up 14 years after going missing.
The suit vanished from the 400m gold medallist's dressing room after the opening ceremony and was thought either stolen or accidentally removed.
The garment was mailed anonymously to the National Sports Museum last week but has yet to be authenticated.
The moment aboriginal athlete Freeman lit the Olympic cauldron is seen by many as a statement of reconciliation with indigenous Australians.
The returned suit has been sent for forensic testing after being handed in at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), which houses the National Sports Museum.
A statement from the Australian Olympic Committee said: "We are hoping the item of clothing handed to the Museum is authentic and the mystery is finally solved."
An Athletics Australia spokesperson added: "It is a very iconic Australian moment, and Catherine's involvement was a very proud moment for a true champion of our sport."
Chief executive of Hastings Pier Charity Simon Opie had hoped the structure would open in the spring or summer, but the date has been moved to 21 March next year.
He said storms in 2014 caused a significant amount of additional damage and pushed back the work.
The reopening will now be on the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings.
Mr Opie said: "We're really disappointed not to be opening earlier.
"Almost all the work will be finished this year but not completed in time to open the pier during any of the traditional seaside trading months."
Local traders have spoken of their disappointment at the "frustrating" delays.
Joel Griggs of the New Crime Museum said: "It will effect us, definitely. We can't wait for the pier to open as it really will lift the area enormously and get the footfall going down here."
Kevin Boorman of Hastings Borough Council said: "What is the point of opening September, October, November time with winter coming up? Far better to open at the start of the visitor season."
The Victorian pier opened in 1872 but closed in 2006 amid fears it was unsafe.
The week before the fire in October 2010, architects were invited to submit designs to redevelop it.
Two teenagers were arrested after the blaze but the Crown Prosecution Service said there was not enough evidence to bring charges.
Most of the funds for the £14m scheme came from the Heritage Lottery Fund and more than 3,000 people also bought community shares in the company that will own and operate it.
Much of the existing pier is being recycled or reused, and plans for the redeveloped structure include funfairs, a circus, an open-air cinema and a mirrored heritage centre to reflect the seaside views.
Edinburgh University scientists examined the effects of testosterone on blood vessel tissue and found it triggered the production of hard deposits or calcification.
The deposits "powerfully" predict the chance of death or major problems due to heart disease, they said.
During the study mice had testosterone receptors removed.
The mice then produced fewer hard deposits as they could no longer respond to the hormone.
Calcification causes blood vessels to harden and thicken, making the heart work harder to pump blood around the body.
It can also affect the valves of the heart, preventing them opening and shutting properly.
The authors said their findings suggested testosterone played a role in calcification and the discovery may lead to new treatments to prevent heart disease.
Researchers also examined blood vessel and valve tissue from people with heart disease.
They found tissue cells containing the hard bone-like deposits also carried the testosterone receptor.
This further suggested that testosterone may trigger calcification, they said.
At least 119,000 men are admitted to hospital every year suffering a heart attack, compared to 69,000 women.
Dr Vicky MacRae, from the University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute, said: "Calcification is particularly difficult to treat, as the biological processes behind the disease are similar to those used by our body to make and repair bone.
"By finding this link between testosterone and calcification we may have discovered a new way of treating this disease and also reducing heart disease.
"This is a new pathway that hasn't really been examined before in the formation of calcification in the cardiac tissue.
"We hope that by understanding in more detail the pathways that are contributing to this, we may be able to work out therapies in future that may be able to target it and prevent calcification from happening, because at the moment there is no real therapy available to stop these calcium deposits from forming in blood vessels and heart valves."
Prof Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "The role of male sex hormones in the control of vascular calcification is poorly understood.
"This study, in cells taken from mice and human tissue, provides new evidence that testosterone can increase calcification.
"But significantly more research is needed to understand whether the results have implications for patients with heart disease or those taking androgen (testosterone) replacement therapy."
Funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the study was published in the journal Scientific Reports.
The guitarist, producer and vocalist rose to fame when he featured on Paul Simon's Graceland album in 1986.

Africa Live: Updates on this and other stories
Mr Phiri's condition became public this week when a friend and fellow musician started a crowdfunding initiative to help pay for his medical bills.
In an interview with The Sowetan newspaper earlier this month, Phiri said: "Let me suffer [in peace with my] pain, on my own with my dignity."
Tributes have been pouring in for Phiri on Twitter, with people using the hashtag #RIPRayPhiri:
Before reaching international fame with Graceland, Phiri was already an established musician in South Africa and lead singer of 1970s band Stimela.
The group's afro-fusion sounds combined jazz with mbaqanga - a Zulu musical style with rural roots.
The annual event had been staged at Liverpool's stadium since the tragedy in Sheffield on 15 April 1989.
In January, relatives of the victims said they had "unanimously agreed" this year's service would be the last.
A minute's silence was held across Liverpool at 15:06 BST - the time when the FA Cup semi-final was abandoned following a terrace crush.
Look back at live coverage of the memorial service
The service opened with the names of each of the 96 who died in Britain's worst sporting disaster read out between periods of singing of the hymn Abide With Me.
Reverend Kelvin Bolton said the 27th anniversary was "yet another milestone in your long journey" and repeated that bereaved families and their supporters "will never walk alone", which the crowd applauded.
Mr Bolton said he did not need to sing You'll Never Walk Alone because it was still echoing around Anfield from last night's match.
Fans in the Kop stand gave Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and his players a rousing reception as they took their place for the service.
England manager Roy Hodgson was among the guests along with many of the Liverpool team from 1989, including Ian Rush, Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson.
Former Everton striker Graeme Sharp gave the first reading, Psalm 23 of the Bible, The Lord Is My Shepherd.
Kenny Dalglish, who was manager of the Liverpool team on the day of the disaster, then received a standing ovation as he gave a reading from the Gospel of John.
There was more rapturous applause for Hillsborough expert and author Phil Scraton, who read out a poem he had written for the service.
When he finished, he became visibly emotional and embraced some of the Hillsborough families.
Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson recalled to the crowds how he had queued for hours to lay a scarf and flowers at Anfield in the aftermath of the disaster 27 years ago.
He said that although this would be the last memorial service at Anfield, "it will not the last time Liverpool will remember".
He ended his address by asking the crowd to applaud "for exactly 96 seconds" to thank the families for all they had done for the city of Liverpool in the years since they lost their loved ones.
Trevor Hicks, whose two daughters died at Hillsborough, said the way Liverpool Football Club looked after the bereaved families in the weeks after the disaster "was unbelievable".
He said during the match last night "Anfield was a cauldron, today it's a church".
He was also cheered as he made reference to "another great city" and said he had always respected the tragedy of the 1958 Munich air disaster which killed Manchester United players.
"It's been fantastic when we've reached across Stanley Park [to Liverpool's neighbouring club Everton] for support and everyone will have the image in mind of the little girl and boy in red and blue kits with 96 on the back.
"I would like to reach out along the M62 to another great north-west city", he said, adding that supporters, while "rivals on the pitch, should be united in grief".
Margaret Aspinall, whose son James died in the 1989 disaster, was the last to address the memorial. said "our last service at Anfield" was an "emotional" occasion.
Mrs Aspinall, who chairs the Hillsborough Family Support Group, was the last to address the memorial.
She invited everyone to stand and join in singing Wind Beneath My Wings as 96 white doves were released in memory of those fans who died as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.
The service then closed with a rendition of Liverpool Football Club's anthem You'll Never Walk Alone.
Flags at civic buildings across the city were flown at half-mast and during the minute's silence public transport was brought to a halt.
Arriva buses marked the anniversary on all buses across Merseyside with a display which reads "Remembering the 96".
At the conclusion of the silence, the bells of Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral were tolled 96 times.
Earlier this month, the jury at new inquests into the disaster retired to start considering its conclusions about how the fans died.
The hearings, which started in March 2014, are already the longest running inquests in British legal history.

A great way to learn more about nature and enjoy the birds in your garden while providing plenty of information on how our wildlife is doing.
This year, it stretches over three days, from Saturday, 27 January to Monday, 29, giving people a chance to count at home and at work. Because the location of your count can make a huge difference to the birds.
I went to chat with Kate MacRae in her garden near Lichfield for some top tips on attracting plenty of birds for this weekend's big event. Kate's a familiar face to Springwatch fans and she's seen over 50 bird species in her garden with many of them making an appearance on her numerous webcameras broadcasting online.
Kate says the secret to plenty of birds is not just to offer them lots of food but also to offer a variety of nibbles and to serve it up in plenty of different ways.
So in Kate's garden you'll find traditional tables, hanging fat balls and even pieces of fruit stuck on a skewer. Where you put your food is important too, so don't forget plenty of birds like a nearby branch or similar to perch where they can check the coast is clear before moving on to eating.
As I said location makes a huge difference to the birds you see so in Kate's rural garden you're less likely to see sparrows in contrast to my central Birmingham green patch where they're pretty common.
Thanks to a nearby canal I'm also more likely to see wagtails. Kate on the other hand gets a lot more finches of all descriptions than I do. In central Brum I also have the edge when it comes to gull species.
Last year the Midlands top five were:
The long-tailed tit was a new entry at number ten.
While talking to Kate a small flock of long-tailed tits descended on her feeders. They are one of my favourite garden birds so hopefully this year we might see them clamber further up the rankings. Their numbers boosted in some part by the growing numbers of people who enjoy putting food out for them.
That said bird food can quickly become fairly expensive if you start to buy a lot of it and it is really tempting to go for the cheapest option.
Kate's advice though is to always try and spend a little bit more. She's found the cheaper bird food mixes contain a lot of wheat to bulk things out and it's really only the pigeons that care for that.
And as anyone who feeds the birds will tell you when the pigeons turn up they tend to scoff all the food before any other birds get a look in.
If you want to take part in this year's garden birdwatch you can find the details on the RSPB website.
A £1.6m loan will help fund a large scale sea-water source heat pump in Lerwick, to allow 225 more households to join the existing heat network.
A £75,000 grant will fund plans for a district heating network in Clydebank using heat from the River Clyde.
Another grant of £75,000 will be used to develop an existing heating network in Glasgow using the River Kelvin.
The Clydebank scheme is for the Queens Quay Development on the site of the former John Brown Shipyard.
It will be used to develop an investment prospectus for a district heating network using a water source heat pump in the River Clyde basin.
The Glasgow scheme will fund the University of Glasgow Western Campus to develop an investment grade proposal to install a water source heat pump in the River Kelvin.
The aim is to ensure that the existing district heating network can service new buildings planned for the site of the former Western Infirmary hospital.
Announcing the scheme, Energy Minister Fergus Ewing, said: "Supporting the development of district heating and wider low carbon technologies will help maximise the economic opportunities from Scotland's low carbon sector.
"Heat is estimated to account for over half of Scotland's total energy use and is responsible for nearly half of Scotland's greenhouse gas emissions, so the imperative to take action is very clear.
"Continued growth in the number of homes and businesses benefitting from connecting to low carbon, affordable warmth provided by district heating networks helps the Scottish government towards realising our ambition to increase the number of connections to district heating networks by 2020."
Glasgow-based Star Renewable Energy helped the Norwegian City of Drammen deploy a large water source heat pump for its district heating system in 2009.
Director Dave Pearson said the Scottish schemes were a step in the right direction.
"Drammen reduced their carbon footprint and stack emissions by over 80 per cent by switching from gas combustion to our 90C heatpump," he said.
"The Scottish government commitment will be a catalyst for a similar step in Scotland as we aim for a significant decarbonisation of heating."
Paul Flattley was paid thousands of pounds for information on celebrities such as Paul Gascoigne and John Terry.
He also passed on details about the death of a 15-year-old girl.
Flattley was jailed for two years in March but it can only be reported now after a charge was dropped against the journalist accused of paying him.
The 30-year-old, from Stockport in Cheshire, leaked information while working as a police constable in west London. He passed on details between May 2008 and September 2011 about high-profile cases, as well as checking out tip-offs that the tabloid had received.
He pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey in March after he admitted taking £7,600 for information leading to nearly 20 stories being published by the newspaper.
Details of Flattley's sentence can be made public after a charge was dropped against the Sun reporter Virginia Wheeler.
This followed medical reports which had been sought by both the prosecution and defence.
Ms Wheeler's lawyer, Mr James Wood QC, told the court she would have fought the charges had the case gone ahead.
On one occasion Flattley tried to corroborate a rumour that Prince William was about to propose to his then girlfriend Kate Middleton by calling and questioning his former sergeant who was working as a close protection officer for the Royal Family. The officer did not disclose any information.
In 2009 Flattley tipped of the Sun about the theft of a handbag from royal Zara Philips' car, which led to the headline, "Zara Bag Blag."
Flattley, who joined the police as a special constable in 2005 and graduated top of his class, alerted the paper to stories after 999 calls had been made to the police.
He sold details about ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne being sectioned under the Mental Health Act and which police station Arsenal footballer Jack Wilshere was taken to when he was arrested for assault.
Other stories concerned pop star Mika when his sister fell from a window in Kensington and the boyfriend of singer Lisa Maffia being stabbed at the O2 Arena.
Flattley passed on the information regarding Mika's sister just over an hour after the incident and received £750 for the story.
He also passed on details linked to the drugs death of teenager Isobel Jones-Reilly.
The 15-year-old died in 2011 after taking ecstasy at an unsupervised party at the west London home of university lecturer Brian Dodgeon.
When Flattley informed the newspaper about the incident, only 40 minutes after it had been reported, Ms Wheeler replied: "This could be as big as Leah Betts" - a reference to the Essex schoolgirl who died after taking the drug in 1995. Her death prompted a national debate about the drug.
In a statement to the court, Isobel's mother Lynne Jones said: "It's very hard to comprehend that anyone would see fit to provide details about our daughter to journalists for monetary gain."
Flattley was also asked to check out false rumours about then-England footballer John Terry and former MP Ann Widdecombe.
He was convicted for misconduct in a public office, as part of the Met's Operation Elveden - the investigation into corrupt payments made by journalists to public officials sparked by the phone hacking scandal at the News of the World.
His two-year sentence is the most severe handed down so far.
Investigating officer Ch Supt Gordon Briggs, said: "Paul Flattley did not come on duty to serve the public, he came on duty to exploit them. He deliberately leaked information on 39 occasions."
Sentencing Flattley, Mr Justice Fulford told him his conduct as a police officer was "simply motivated by personal profit" and his actions would have a "corrosive effect on public trust and confidence".
The journals were written by sailors on board HMS Trincomalee, which is berthed in Hartlepool.
The vessel, built in 1817, is being incorporated into the new National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN).
The journals have been sitting in Royal Navy archives in Portsmouth for the past 150 years.
Built in India in 1817, HMS Trincomalee was brought to Hartlepool in 1987, where it took more than 10 years to restore. It is now the main attraction at Hartlepool's Maritime Experience and attracts 54,000 visitors a year.
Bryn Hughes, general manager of the HMS Trincomalee Trust said: "The positive links with the NMRN in Portsmouth will heighten public awareness of HMS Trincomalee.
"It is a wonderful long-term scheme following hard on the profile of the recent Tall Ships Races so successfully staged in Hartlepool."
The rarely seen journals will eventually be included in the static Trincomalee exhibition in Hartlepool.
One journal dates from 1852 and was kept by midshipman William Dawson. It contains a detailed log and tracking maps of the journeys that HMS Trincomalee took during that period.
Dr Dominic Tweddle, director general of the NMRN, said: "The opportunity to welcome HMS Trincomalee as a part of the museum means that the story of the Royal Navy, its ships and its people can now be told on a national scale."
HMS Trincomalee was built for the Admiralty in Bombay and served in the West Indies and the Pacific.
It was stationed in West Hartlepool between 1862 and 1877 as a training ship.
A ceremony at St Mary's Church in Cholsey, Oxfordshire also included readings from her autobiography.
Christie died aged 86 at nearby Winterbrook House in Wallingford, which had been her home with archaeologist husband Sir Max Mallowan since 1934.
And Then There Were None, adapted for BBC One over Christmas, was last year named her best novel.
The book topped a poll to mark the 125th anniversary of the writer's birth.
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
The Reverend Andrew Petit and Judy Dewey, curator of Wallingford Museum, led the ceremony, which included a prayer and readings from Christie's autobiography and poetry collection.
"Her death was of worldwide interest, but her funeral in Cholsey Church on a bleak, cold, winter's day was a quiet family and friends affair - apart from the scores of press, some from as far away as South America," Ms Dewey said.
She added: "Last summer, in one month alone, the grave was visited by about 300 people."

An exhibition to be held at Wallingford Museum from March until November will include photographs and letters from Christie's later life, including correspondence with the chairman of the local amateur dramatics group the Sinodun Players.
"She watched many of their performances and was given special seats, and she particularly liked their pantomimes - she was an absolute pantomime fanatic," said Ms Dewey.
One letter from Sir Max to the players following Christie's death said: "What was truly valuable in Wallingford was her privacy and freedom from social involvement, for in this way she was able to devote her time to creative work which gave pleasure to millions."
Christie's novels have sold roughly two billion copies and she is still the world's most-translated individual author - having been translated into at least 103 languages.
An event to commemorate the 40th anniversary of her death and her connections to Cholsey and Wallingford will be held at the museum from 9-11 September.
The 28-year-old's career began at hometown club Neath and he played for Cardiff RFC before joining Blues, for whom he played three times last season.
He has also played for Brisbane Bulldogs in Australia and for Wales Sevens in 2011 and 2012.
"His versatility will give us more options in the backfield particularly during the international window," said Scarlets rugby manager Jon Daniels.
"That said, he is coming here to challenge for a starting position in the team, which adds to the competition in the group.
"He is well known in Welsh rugby for his commitment and professionalism and so in a new environment time will tell how far he can progress."
Scarlets are the only Welsh team in the upcoming season's European Rugby Champions Cup.
Smith said: "There's a lot of competition in the squad and I'm also looking forward to potentially having an opportunity to play in the Champions Cup against some of Europe's best clubs."
Mr Skeen, 51, was last seen leaving his home in the town for a run at 09:00 GMT on Tuesday.
Mountain rescue teams, firefighters, police and a drone were involved in the search for Mr Skeen, who had recently moved to the area from Bristol.
Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed a body found on Saturday had been identified as Mr Skeen.
In a statement, the force added: "Our thoughts are with the family at this sad time."
The glam-rock legend has released the recording Where Are We Now? as a video and download. It will be followed by a new album, The Next Day, in March.
Bowie has not performed live since 2006 and has rarely been seen in public since then.
The new track was recorded in New York and produced by the singer's long-time collaborator Tony Visconti.
Speaking to the BBC, Visconti admitted that keeping the project a secret has been difficult.
"People have asked what I've been working on and I've said 'I can't tell you... a mystery project... Project X,' so its such a relief that its out on that level."
Visconti continued: "The material is so strong and beautiful - if people are looking for classic Bowie they'll find that on this album, but if they're looking for innovative Bowie, they'll find that on this album too. It's all there."
Bowie's long absence from the industry and heart surgery in 2004 had prompted speculation about his health. However, Visconti insisted the singer "is extremely healthy and rosy cheeked."
"His stamina is fantastic," he added.
The single's appearance online was "a genuine surprise", said John Wilson, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Front Row.
By Paul TrynkaAuthor, David Bowie - The Definitive Biography
David Bowie has confounded expectations countless times since he shot into public consciousness with Space Oddity. Now, after a retirement that seemed worryingly permanent, he surprises once more with a new sentiment: Nostalgia.
Released on his 66th birthday, his first new song in almost exactly 10 years is filled with imagery of Berlin, the city to which he disappeared in 1976 to record his most enduringly influential albums, including the electronic masterpiece, Low.
Where Are We Now reunites Bowie with producer Tony Visconti, a key figure on Low, but where their 70s collaborations were angular, harsh, forward-looking, this new single is reflective, sweeter in tone - yet also haunting and full of doubt.
The lyrics directly reference Bowie's Berlin haunts: The KaDeWe department store where he shopped, the Dschungel club where he hung out with wildchild artist Martin Kippenberger, and the apartment on Haupstrasse which he shared with fellow rock'n'roll refugee Iggy Pop. The tone is downbeat, the melody dark, until finally he evokes the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. This was a barrier few thought could be crossed - now Bowie addresses his own unthinkable barrier, the gulf between the ambitious 30 year old, and the reflective senior citizen.
Age, mortality, has certainly mellowed him; the recording is lush, perhaps conventional, reminiscent of Heathen and Reality, albums Bowie recorded with Visconti just before the heart attack which forced him to abandon a world tour in June 2004.
The recent flurry of excitement around the re-release of Ziggy Stardust reminded us of Bowie the ambitious young buck, intent on making his mark. Where Are We Now? is a haunting depiction of the doubt that always lay behind that youthful arrogance; today he might be older, damaged, but he has the confidence of a man with nothing to prove.
"He's a proper artist. He doesn't release records because it's time for another record. He releases records when there's something for him to say."
Where Are We Now? is a simple, unfussy ballad - Bowie singing mournfully over a piano motif that slowly builds to an understated coda.
The song includes several references to the city of Berlin, where Bowie and Visconti produced a critically-acclaimed trilogy of albums - Low, Heroes and Lodger - in the 1970s.
"If you listen to each of the verses, there are lyrical references to Berlin, to Potsdamer Platz, to Nuremberg Strasse," said Wilson. "Places where he lived when he was making those albums. And there is an elegiac quality. There's a sadness, I think. A weariness to his voice."
The artwork for the new album, which has surfaced on iTunes, is an altered version of the cover to Heroes, suggesting a further connection to the Berlin Trilogy.
By breaking his 10-year musical silence, Bowie unsurprisingly prompted a flurry of praise on Twitter.
"I'm so insanely excited," journalist Caitlin Moran wrote. "It's like hearing King Arthur's voice from the cave."
Comedian David Walliams added: "I love that Bowie has kept his mystique. No word from him for years and then out of nowhere this beautiful song appears.
"I wonder whether Bowie will go on Loose Women to promote it?"
Music fan Chris Lilley wrote: "It's quite an elaborate way to apologise for not performing at the Olympics."
While Bowie's son, film director Duncan Jones, chipped in: "Would be lovely if all of you could spread the word about da's new album. First in ten years, and its a good 'un!"
Acknowledging the stealthy release of the single, the pop star's press representative said in a statement: "Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie".
The Space Oddity star, it continued, was "the kind of artist who writes and performs what he wants when he wants".
Where Are We Now? is accompanied by a video directed by multimedia and installation artist Tony Oursler, which harks back to Bowie's time in Berlin.
The promo, which can be viewed via the singer's website, features his face projected onto the body of a puppet.
The face of a woman is projected onto the mannequin beside him, with Bowie appearing in more conventional form later on in the video, clutching a notebook and wearing a T-shirt with the logo for the classic operetta Song Of Norway.
Bowie, who was last reported to be living in New York with his wife and daughter, has not released material since his 2003 album Reality.
In September, the singer denied reports he was involved in an upcoming exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum in London charting his career.
The chief justice said there were concerns an inquiry ordered by the government would not be free and fair.
The official, Kamran Faisal, was found hanged on Friday in the government hostel in Islamabad where he lived.
Police say he may have taken his own life, but his family allege foul play.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says the court's move is likely to be welcomed by Mr Faisal's family and by colleagues at the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) where he worked.
Many NAB officials have been on strike as part of a campaign to demand a separate inquiry into what they see as his mysterious death.
Speaking in court, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry described Mr Faisal's death as "shocking".
"His family members, colleagues, friends and the public at large have shown annoyance and grievances," Justice Chaudhry said.
"And according to them, they are not expecting a free, fair and honest investigation because of the involvement of highly influential political and executive authorities."
Two Supreme Court judges will hold their first hearing into Mr Faisal's death on Thursday. Their investigation will operate in parallel to the judicial inquiry ordered by the interior ministry on Sunday.
Some police investigators say Mr Faisal may have been on anti-depressants at the time he died, which might support claims he took his life. But his family say his body bore marks of torture, suggesting he was murdered.
Mr Faisal had been helping lead the investigation into alleged bribes paid by power firms when Mr Ashraf was minister for water and power in 2010. The prime minister denies wrongdoing.
Last week, the Supreme Court ordered his arrest along with 15 officials also accused in the so-called Rental Power Projects case.
But the prime minister appears unlikely to be detained soon - the head of the NAB has said there is not enough evidence to justify such a move.
The bureau has suspended its investigation into the case, pending the outcome of the inquiries into the death of Mr Faisal.
The 67 items all belong to one man, whose wife said he needs to get rid of them so they can downsize.
Auctioneer James Lewis said it was the best collection of film memorabilia he had ever seen for sale.
Other Doctor Who props up for grabs include a Cyberman from the 19th season and a Tardis from a stage show.
Mr Lewis said: "I think the Dalek would have been back in use exterminating its owner if he hadn't agreed to sell his collection."
His wife said: "There's no way that we can accommodate all of these things. The last thing I want is a Dalek in the bedroom.
"Everything has to go. We don't want any of it back.
"I'm locking my husband in a straitjacket in the garden shed so he can't bid on any of it again."
Updates on this story and more from Derbyshire
Mr Lewis said the collection took over the cellar of the couple's house.
"They are incredibly rare, to get a genuine Dalek from that period," he said.
"I've never seen one coming up for many, many, many years."
The collection also includes oversized props from The Borrowers and Mr Cadbury's Parrot.
The collector, from Hertfordshire, amassed the items over 25 years.
He is not expected to be at the auction, which is taking place at Bamfords in Derby later.
"I don't think he can bring himself to come," Mr Lewis said.
"He had lots of collections of lots of different things but it's this collection that's just so huge.
"In terms of film memorabilia this is probably the best sale that we've ever had, the best sale that I've ever seen as an auctioneer."
It was the second time the two leaders met in person this year after decades of estrangement between the two countries.
They shook hands before beginning private talks.
On Monday, Mr Castro called for an end to US economic sanctions on Cuba. Mr Obama had earlier expressed confidence that Congress would lift the embargo.
President Castro told the UN that normal relations with the US would only be possible if the US abolished its trade embargo.
The embargo has been in place since 1960 and remains a contentious issue in relations between Cuba and the US.
In his speech to the UN, President Obama said he was confident Congress would "inevitably lift an embargo that should not be in place anymore".
On 27 October the UN General Assembly (UNGA) is again scheduled to discuss a resolution condemning the embargo and calling for its abolition.
It is the 24th time the UNGA will vote on the issue, which generally is only opposed by the US and Israel.
Speculation is already rife about how the US will vote this year after its own president dismissed the embargo as counterproductive and behind the times.
The resolutions are unenforceable, but a US abstention on a resolution critical of US behaviour would be unprecedented.
The Republican-controlled US Congress has so far refused to lift the embargo.
Cuban-American Senator and presidential candidate Marco Rubio warned that an abstention would be "putting international popularity ahead of the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States".
Since their surprise announcement on 17 December last year that they would work towards normalising relations after decades of frozen ties, the two leaders have:
US officials said Raul Castro's presence at the UN, the first time the Cuban leader spoke there, was a signal "that we're in a new era".
In his speech, President Castro said the normalisation of relations would be "a long and complex process".
From playing in front of a few hundred fans in the fourth tier as recently as 2011, on Thursday they face Luxembourg's Fola Esch on the next step of their Europa League journey.
I don't know how it would have gone down at York, but it's certainly working up here
And leading them on the way are a seasoned English coach, a York City youth product who never made it beyond the Northern Premier League, and a former army officer who wants his players to perform in a Tchaikovsky ballet.
At 19, Jamie Hopcutt was released by home town club York City and feared his professional football career was over soon after beginning.
Now 25, he is starring for Ostersunds in Sweden's top division and playing European football.
The midfielder helped his side to a 3-1 aggregate win over Turkish giants Galatasaray in Istanbul last week, after scoring in the first leg, to reach the third qualifying round of the Europa League.
But six years ago it was a different story.
"I was being sent out on loan to places like Whitby when I got an email inviting me to a trial day at Warwick University. I scored a hat-trick," Hopcutt said.
It was Ostersunds manager Graham Potter - another former York player - who invited Hopcutt to join them in 2012.
Hopcutt scored 15 goals last season as Ostersunds were promoted to the Allsvenskan, the Swedish top flight.
He has six goals this term, and Aston Villa and Brighton are reportedly preparing bids in the region of £1.5m.
"I've made a life out here but one day I'd like to come back to England," said Hopcutt, whose journey echoes that made by Leicester City's former non-league striker Jamie Vardy.
"Obviously Jamie Vardy has shown everyone that it can be done," he said.
Potter, who played for clubs including Birmingham and Stoke as well as briefly in the Premier League for Southampton, has enjoyed success in his management career.
The 42-year-old has lifted Ostersund from the fourth to the top tier. They also won the Swedish Cup last season - giving them a route into this season's Europa League.
And what stands out in their success is the club's requirement that players take part in cultural activities in addition to their football - such as their recent production of Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake in front of 500 local residents at the city's theatre.
That is something that is being driven by club chairman Daniel Kindberg, a former lieutenant in the Swedish army.
"The chairman is big on holistic development of players," Potter explained.
"Running a culture academy alongside football training will help us be braver as footballers," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I had to do a routine with a partner, which was very difficult. I'm still a shocking dancer but, just like when you're playing football, it's all about trying to perform on the day," said Hopcutt.
"I don't know how it would have gone down at York, but it's certainly working up here."
There have also been painting lessons, some players have become published authors, and they are currently juggling Europa League preparations with workshops on the indigenous Sami people of the Swedish Arctic.
"It takes you out of your comfort zone but it's been great for team bonding and I'm sure it helped us prepare for occasions like Istanbul," Hopcutt added.
Ostersund face Fola Esch at the 8,500-capacity Jamtkraft Arena in the Swedish city on Thursday.
By 2017-18, a routine examination will cost more than £20, with more expensive procedures including crowns exceeding £240.
The government said the charges would affect "those who can afford it" and it was "protecting the most vulnerable".
But the British Dental Association said the rise was "unprecedented" and would damage the nation's teeth.
The changes will mean:
In a written statement to Parliament, Health Minister Alistair Burt said: "We have taken the decision to uplift dental charges for those who can afford it, through a 5% increase this year and next.
"Dental charges remain an important contribution to the overall cost of dental services, first introduced in 1951, but we will keep protecting the most vulnerable within society."
Children, pregnant women and people on low incomes get free treatment.
But Henrik Overgaard-Nielsen, from the British Dental Association, argued: "This unprecedented hike in dental charges will only serve to discourage the patients that are most in need of care.
"This money doesn't go to NHS dentists - they are being asked to play the role of tax collector, while our patients are singled out to subsidise the health service.
"For government these increases may be a source of easy money, but they will only undermine the relationship between patients and practitioners.
"Government has given patients another reason to avoid visiting their dentist."
Bills for dental treatment vary in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
About 700 rebels and their families, a total of nearly 3,000 people, were evacuated on buses from al-Wair district, government officials say.
"The city of Homs is completely clear of weapons and militants," provincial governor Talal Barazi said.
Many fighters were going to the rebel-held Idlib province, in the north-west.
Some were heading to Jarablus, an area in northern Syria controlled by rebels backed by Turkey.
Most of the rebels had been driven out of Homs in 2014, after years under siege by government forces.
A Russia-brokered evacuation deal was agreed earlier this year.
Under the agreement, opposition fighters are granted safe passage with their weapons out of Homs to rebel-held areas in Syria.
The Syrian government says such "reconciliation" deals, which have been agreed in several rebel-held areas, are key to ending the six-year civil war.
Opposition fighters say that they have been coerced into such agreements by brutal sieges and bombardments.
Homs became a key battleground of the Syrian uprising after residents embraced the call to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad in 2011 and drove security forces out of much of the city the following year.
That prompted the government to begin a two-year siege that left whole areas destroyed and eventually forced the rebels to withdraw from the Old City to al-Wair.
More than 300,000 people have been killed across Syria since 2011.
Groves, 28, has lost three world title bouts, while Murray, 33, has been unsuccessful in four world title bouts, drawing one and losing three.
"I am treating this like the last-chance saloon. If I can't beat Martin then I don't deserve to become a world champion," said Londoner Groves.
"There are a lot of world champions out there and I want to be one of them."
Groves' bout with Murray at London's O2 Arena is the chief support on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's first defence of his IBF heavyweight world title against American Dominic Breazeale.
Groves' first world title attempt saw him floor reigning champion Carl Froch in the first round in November 2013, before referee Howard Foster controversially stopped the contest in the ninth, declaring Froch the winner.
The rematch, held in May 2014 in front of 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium, saw Groves knocked out in the eighth round.

His third failed attempt to win a world title came in September, when he suffered a split decision points defeat against Sweden's Badou Jack in Las Vegas.
"The longer it goes on the more you want it," added Groves. "When you are a kid you dream of becoming a world champion and I have an awful lot left to achieve."
St Helens-based Murray drew his middleweight title world bout against Felix Sturm in February 2011, before losing to Sergio Martinez in April 2013 and Gennady Golovkin in February 2015.
He then moved up a weight but failed in his fourth attempt to win a world title, losing on a split decision to WBO super-middleweight champion Arthur Abraham last November.
"I think the loser packs it in," said Groves. "Martin's older than me and he's exhausted all the natural things a fighter can do.
"He didn't pull it off at middleweight, he's moved up to super-middleweight and he's had a crack at Arthur Abraham, who on paper he should be beating.
"I thought Martin could beat Arthur, but he let himself down there."
Meanwhile, Martin said any fame Groves had achieved was down to his two defeats by Froch and that he had mixed in more exalted company.
"I've been in bigger fights than him all over the world against better opposition, he got his name by losing twice to Carl Froch," said Murray.
"After Badou Jack I heard he was talking about retiring. He's come back and had two fights where he's been firing at sitting ducks, so he's got his confidence back now.
"Now he thinks that this is an easy fight. But it's not, when it gets tough he will crumble."
Chris Eubank Jr has vowed to display "no mercy" against Tom Doran on Saturday.
Eubank Jr will be defending his British middleweight title for the first time and says he will not be affected by his most recent outing against Nick Blackwell, who retired from boxing after he suffered bleeding on his skull and later put in an induced coma after losing to Eubank in March.
"I'm not going to let a situation like what happened in my last fight affect my future performances," said Eubank Jr.
Eubank Jr, 26, has set his sights on a fight later this year with Kazakhstan's Golovkin, the WBA, IBF, WBC and IBO middleweight world champion.
However, Welshman Doran, unbeaten in 17 fights, accused his opponent of not showing him enough respect and said: "I think all the Golovkin talk is disrespectful but I've pushed it to one side.
"It doesn't get better than this, I can't wait to take the chance with both hands."
Eubank Jr responded by saying: "Every fighter has their goals and dreams. I want to fight the best and beat the best. I'm gunning for the main guy and I have to put on serious performances."
British heavyweight Dillian Whyte is fighting for the first time on Saturday since his lost his unbeaten record in December with a seventh-round stoppage defeat against Joshua.
Nevertheless, Whyte, 28, is confident he can get to the top of the division and has targeted fellow Briton Dereck Chisora, a former world title challenger, as his next opponent.
"I really want to fight Chisora in December. I want to get him in the ring and put a stop to his career," said Whyte, who needed a shoulder operation after his loss to Joshua.
Whyte's next opponent is 34-year-old Ivica Bacurin from Croatia, a fighter who has won 25, lost nine and drawn one of his 35 professional contests.
"I'm fit and ready. The hardest part with any injury is the mental aspect. The plan is to knock this fella out on Saturday," added Whyte.
Conor Benn, the son of former middleweight and super-middleweight world champion Nigel Benn, fights for the third time as a professional. He has won his first two light-welterweight fights and takes on Lukas Radic of the Czech Republic.
Anthony Ogogo, a bronze medallist at the London 2012 Olympics, has won all nine of his contests in an injury-hit professional career and fights Croatian middleweight Frane Radnic.
The soldier, from the 4th Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, died on Wednesday at Babaji in Helmand province.
He was serving with 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment as a part of a Combined Force in Lashkar Gah. His next of kin have been informed.
The death of the soldier - the 385th in Afghanistan since 2001 - gives added poignancy to Remembrance Sunday.
Last week Private Matthew Haseldin, 21, of Settle, North Yorkshire, was killed in Afghanistan and during Prime Minister's Question Time David Cameron and Ed Miliband both paid tribute to him.
His body is due to be repatriated on Thursday.
Reacting to Wednesday's death, Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Mackenzie, a spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: "We are greatly saddened by the news of this soldier's death."
"We will keep him and his loved ones in our thoughts as we carry on with our important mission. His loss is not in vain," he added.
The 4th Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment are based at Worsley Barracks in York.
The death comes in the middle of a row over England's footballers wearing poppies.
On Wednesday Fifa relented and agreed to allow England to wear the poppy symbol on their shirts during Saturday's friendly against Spain.
A spokesperson for the bank said: "All customers can now see their accounts online as normal."
Customers trying to use current accounts, savings and loans - but not credit card services - were affected.
Tesco said it had not received "a huge number of calls", although thousands of accounts could have been hit.
Tesco apologised for the inconvenience caused and thanked customers for their patience.
Earlier in the week one customer who contacted the BBC said she had been unable to access her account for two days.
Tesco Bank said it had alerted customers on its website that there was a problem.
However, a spokesman told the BBC that customers could contact its call centres to process any account services while the problems continued.
The bank said: "We are aware that some of our customers are currently unable to view their accounts in online banking. We are working hard to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
"Customers can still continue to use their accounts as normal and can contact us by phone if they need any help with their account. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank customers for their patience"
Paul Kahn, president of the 16,000-employee Airbus UK, said Britain must compete for international investment.
"The best way to guarantee this is by remaining part of the EU," he said.
Earlier, Chancellor George Osborne said in a speech to the CBI employers' group that he wants the UK "to be in Europe, but not run by Europe".
Prime Minister David Cameron has promised a referendum on the UK's EU membership by the end of 2017, and the matter has been rising up the political and business agenda.
On Monday, the chairman of construction equipment firm JCB said the UK should not fear an exit from the EU.
And on Wednesday, the president of the CBI, Sir Mike Rake, said businesses should "speak out early" in favour of remaining in a reformed EU.
Mr Kahn, speaking to the BBC's industry correspondent John Moylan, said that with a UK referendum on leaving the EU perhaps less than 18 months away, companies like Airbus needed to be at the forefront of the debate.
"I believe that it is vital for a company such as Airbus to come out and make a stand in favour of Britain remaining in the European Union," he said.
Airbus, the world's second-largest planemaker after Boeing, employs 6,000 people at its site at Broughton, north Wales, where it assembles the wings for all Airbus aircraft.
Several thousand more people are employed at Filton, near Bristol, designing wings and testing landing gear.
He stressed that if Britain were to leave the EU, the company would not suddenly close.
But he added: "If after an exit from the European Union, economic conditions in Britain were less favourable for business than in other parts of Europe, or beyond, would Airbus reconsider future investment in the United Kingdom? Yes, absolutely."
Airbus is one of Europe's biggest industrial enterprises spanning civil aviation, defence and space, with operations in Germany, France and Spain.
If Britain were to leave the EU Mr Kahn suggested the company could face more red tape in areas such as work visas and trade barriers.
He said he was not "blindly supporting Britain's membership of the EU", adding: "I welcome the UK government's intentions to deliver positive and hoped-for reforms - which would create a leaner and more efficient EU."
His comments came on the day that Mr Osborne told business leaders at the CBI that the government would be fighting for a reformed Europe.
He acknowledged in his speech that some businesses might "want us to leave the EU come-what-may. And there are also those, including some in this room, who want us to go further into a more federal Europe".
But the chancellor said: "Our position - which I think is shared by the majority of British people and a majority of British businesses - is that we want Britain to be in Europe, but not run by Europe.
"The problem of making the single currency work is inevitably drawing its members toward ever-closer integration. We don't want to be part of that integration.
"The challenge for us is to ensure that while this happens we protect the single market, and make sure the EU continues to work in the interests of all 28 member states, including Britain."
Europe, he said, had "priced itself out of the global economy" with a raft of rules, regulations and red tape.
African grocers, dozens of hairdressers, and music and video stores line the streets of Matonge in Brussels.
There is a Matonge in the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital Kinshasa too. When Belgium was the colonial power, the Congolese who came to Brussels created a marketplace a little bit like home - although Matonge in Kinshasa is a lot livelier, and the weather is better.
There is a substantial community of people from Central Africa living in the Brussels Matonge - including around 25,000 from DR Congo, many of whom are naturalised Belgian citizens, and perhaps 10,000 Rwandans.
They come to Matonge to shop. But in recent months, they have come to argue, too, about DR Congo's war - and sometimes to fight.
Congolese here blame Rwanda for perpetuating the war in eastern DR Congo by arming and supporting rebel militias, plundering the country's mineral wealth.
Each Tuesday, supporters of the Congolese and Rwandan opposition gather outside the Rwandan embassy to call for an end to Rwanda's interference in DR Congo.
But occasionally the protests spread to the streets of Brussels, and Rwandans in Matonge have been targeted.
Rwandan Grace Nyawumuntu's brother Jules paid the price.
After a demonstration by Congolese opposition supporters outside the Rwandan embassy in Brussels, a gang of Congolese accosted him.
"They asked him: 'Are you Rwandan?'" They chased him through the metro station and beat him," she says. "He was taken to hospital. His jaw was broken."
Mostly, the protests and demonstrations remain peaceful. But Ms Nyawumuntu says when things get worse in DR Congo, as during the occupation of the eastern city of Goma by M23 rebels at the end of last year, the Rwandan community in Brussels fears for its safety.
A recent UN report blamed Rwanda for arming M23. Many Congolese in Brussels go further, calling Congolese President Joseph Kabila puppet of the Rwandan government. The mood among Matonge's Congolese is angry.
Rwandan journalist Ruhumuza Mbonyumutwa was roughed up at one Brussels demonstration a few months ago. "I only go into Matonge to get my hair cut now," he told me. "I don't stay there long, it could be dangerous."
Henry Muke Dishuishe, who leads a Congolese opposition political group in Belgium called the High Council for Liberation, acknowledges some young Belgian Congolese are turning to violence.
"I'm trying to do my best to make peace," he says. "But it's hard sometimes - some Congolese they go to Rwandese shops, they want to break it, and make fights in cafes.
"They make violence so the international community takes notice, because they've written many letters, informed many people, and nobody moves. So they say the only recourse they have is violence here in Europe."
Like many Congolese here, Mr Dishuishe is convinced Europeans are abetting Rwanda's illegal mining in DR Congo, including for coltan, a mineral vital to the electronics industry.
"We have an obligation derived from this colonial past - and a particular responsibility because many of the companies operating in DRC are European companies," says Ana Gomes, a Portuguese Member of the European Parliament with the Socialist Party.
"I'm afraid - I sense the tension is escalating and could turn even nastier than it is already."
But she says many turn a blind eye. "There's like a fatigue about the DRC, in spite of the fact that it is one of the most martyrized countries where the people - and in particular the women - are suffering."
Modern Belgium is uncomfortable with its colonial history - and has reason to be.
The brutality of Belgian King Leopold II, who negotiated personal ownership of Congo and began to plunder its vast resources in the 19th Century, is well documented.
A campaign by journalists and early human rights activists led to the creation of Belgian Congo in the 20th Century. Maybe the brutality and forced labour was reduced, but the plundering and patronising attitude to Africans continued until Patrice Lumumba's National Congolese Movement brought independence in 1960.
Even then, Belgium couldn't leave Congo alone - there is evidence of Belgian involvement in Lumumba's assassination when he became the first independent prime minister.
The Royal Museum of Central Africa just outside Brussels symbolises many of the, now unacceptable, attitudes to Belgian colonialism.
In the museum's marbled portico, golden statues celebrate the "civilising mission" - childlike Africans clutching imploringly and gratefully to the legs of a heroic Belgian nurse, or soldier, or statesman.
Anthropologist and curator Bambi Ceuppens, herself half-Congolese and half-Flemish, says the way the museum ignored the history of Congolese people - merely treating them like the animals and plants as exhibits to be stared at - led to the plundering of culture too.
She says there are many masks and idols that have obvious spiritual and ritual significance. "But we have lost their stories," she says. "They were brought here just because they looked nice."
But some Belgians, mostly from the younger generation, believe their nation has unbreakable links to Africa and a responsibility to help mediate the bloody legacy that still grips DR Congo.
At a quaint, velvet-draped and packed theatre in the Matonge district of Brussels, Belgian producer Raffi Aghekian is introducing his new movie, Kinshasa Mboka Te - Kinshasa Wicked Land - to a mostly white crowd.
It is an offbeat profile of the DR Congo capital, through the lives and sometimes excesses of Kinshasa's people.
"There's a Matonge in Brussels and some of the movie was filmed in Matonge, Kinshasa," Mr Aghekian says. He's concerned that a part of Brussels that should be celebrating Belgium's diversity and history is becoming a place of division and fear.
"I want to bring the two Matonges together," he says.
Another big anti-Rwandan demonstration is planned for 16 February. The news from DR Congo is still bad, with rebel groups, including M23, still in control of many mining areas and tens of thousands still displaced from their homes. Tension in the Brussels Matonge is rising again.

Scotland Yard said it was alerted to the "vulnerable" 16-year-old from east London by the Daily Mail.
Officers said they were working with her family and the local authority to ensure she was "kept safe from harm".
The home secretary said the case, which involved grooming via social media, showed the "threat" from IS.
According to the Mail, counter-terrorism officers attended the girl's family home on Wednesday.
The paper said she had intended to travel to the Syrian border, via Turkey and Switzerland, next week after her GCSE exams finished, in order to marry a jihadi fighting for IS.
It said a journalist posing as a 16-year-old girl had been involved in conversations online with the girl's older sister - described as a "groomer" for IS - who is already in Syria. She had been trying to persuade the reporter to accompany her sibling.
IS had used encrypted apps on smartphones to send detailed instructions, the paper reported.
Commander Richard Walton, from the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command, said: "We were made aware of a vulnerable young girl on Monday.
A BBC investigation has documented the Britons known to have died in Syria and Iraq, those convicted of offences relating to the conflict there and others believed to be living in territory controlled by Islamic State.
It includes the stories of:
"Upon receiving the information officers acted promptly and were able to identify the girl concerned, and preventative steps have now been taken to do all we can to safeguard her."
He added: "This case is a frightening example of how quickly social media can be used to groom vulnerable young people... This is a stark reminder to parents and the community of the speed with which these cases can develop."
Home Secretary Theresa May said the incident showed the "seriousness of the threat" from IS.
She said: "The police and security service are working hard every day to keep our country safe, but it is up to all of us to stand united against extremism, support the pluralistic values that underpin our society, and stop young and vulnerable people from being drawn into this kind of trouble."
In February, three schoolgirls from east London travelled to Turkey before crossing the Syrian border to join the terrorist group. A friend had earlier made the same journey.
And last week, Scotland Yard said more than 700 Britons were thought to have travelled to Syria, with about half having returned to the UK. It said a "significant proportion" of those who made the journey intended to join IS. | A robber armed with a crossbow has threatened staff at a shop in east Belfast.

The Manchester-born 29-year-old was the joint leading wicket taker with 25 in the T20 Blast this summer as the Red Rose county lifted the trophy.
Parry has five England caps and is currently with their T20 squad for the games against Pakistan in the UAE.
He joins seam bowlers Kyle Jarvis, Tom Bailey and Gavin Griffiths in signing new deals at Old Trafford this week.
"Stephen is a fantastic, international quality bowler and is also a great person to have in the dressing room," said cricket director and head coach Ashley Giles.
"He's a person who embodies what it means to be a Lancashire player and his experience is of great benefit to the younger guys in the dressing room."
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) said the waste at Netherplace Dye Works was being sprayed in a bid to control flies on the site.
Sepa's Kenny Boag explained that with the start of spraying he hoped removal of the waste could start soon.
Local residents have complained about the growing number of flies.
The infestation was also reported to be causing problems in neighbouring Clarkston and Giffnock.
The waste is being treated as a criminal investigation, but Sepa said remedial measures could be taken in tandem with evidence gathering.
Mr Boag, Sepa's head of operations for the south west, said he recognised that "time is of the essence".
In a statement on Tuesday, he said: "Sepa's primary role in matters at this time is to ensure that the waste that has been illegally deposited can be safely and responsibly managed, transported and disposed of at suitably licensed facilities.
"Importantly also in this case we had to give consideration to the treatment of this waste, to address the fly problem which has been plaguing local residents.
"Over the last few days we've been working closely with the landowner and his waste contractor and pest control contractors, and we are pleased to confirm that the pest control contractor is on site as we speak treating the waste. We are also close to agreeing a method statement with the waste contractor, and hope to see removals being removed from the site to authorised disposal facilities soon.
"Sepa will continue to maintain a presence on the site both to support the ongoing works and also importantly to gather evidence so we may identify the persons responsible for this criminal act."
Mr Boag earlier said loose and baled cardboard, construction and demolition waste, as well as municipal wastes and liquid wastes had been found at the site.
He added: "Given the array of waste materials that can be seen at this stage... it is vital that the correct method of management, removal, transport and disposal is taken to ensure that it does not result in harmful or illegal consequences elsewhere.
"Sepa have had daily interaction with the landowner to help them understand the scale of the problem and also assist them in resolving a number of immediate issues which could affect the local environment.
"An essential role for Sepa going forward is to identify the persons responsible for this act and we have designed our investigation to run alongside any removal works, so that we do not impeded the rate at which this site is cleared."

The 22-year-old Welsh competitor took the -57kg title at London 2012 when still a teenager.
Jones lost form after London, but has re-established herself as world number one after winning the latest World Grand Prix event in Manchester.
"The hunger has come back now because I want to be a double Olympic champion. I want to be a legend," she said.
"Winning the Olympics was an amazing feeling, but afterwards it was a bit like 'what do I do now'.
"So I lost a bit of motivation going back into training and competitions I had so much pressure on me. I kept thinking 'I'm the Olympic champion I can't lose' - being only 19 and having to deal with all that pressure.
"So my coach sat me down and said 'listen, your Olympic medal is never going away' so now I'm not fighting to defend that every time I fight, I'm doing it because I want to get extras."
In an interview for BBC Wales' Sport Wales television programme, Jones said she is now completely focused on defending her Olympic crown.
Jones' win in Manchester on 17 October was the latest in a string of battles with Spain's Eva Calvo.
Her improved form has already secured a place for Britain in the -57kg division at next year's Olympics, with Jones likely to be selected ahead of Rachelle Booth.
Jones trailed Calvo 4-0 in Manchester, but hit back to triumph 14-4 for her first title on home soil since the London Games.
"It was an amazing feeling," said Jones.
"The crowd were amazing, I couldn't believe how many people were there all screaming me name and I was four points down.
"And with [Calvo] if you go down it's really hard to get it back because she's really evasive and awkward.
"But I got one point back and thought 'I'm not losing in front of my own crowd' and then I got her in the head and she was a bit fazed and stunned because I got her in the head so I just kept going.
"I ended up going off the back of the second round 10-4 up from 4-0 down so it was an amazing win."
The pair could meet again in the final Grand Prix of the season in Mexico on 5-6 December.

Bank officials say there is a substantial financial burden being borne by Lebanon and Jordan.
They are discussing help from rich countries and from Gulf nations.
They say the idea has been well received by potential contributors and hope to have the first funds paid out in four to six months.
The arrangement under discussion is one in which the Bank would make loans to Jordan and Lebanon, with aid donors covering at least some of the interest costs.
Millions of refugees are now in countries bordering Syria. The largest number are in Turkey, but it is the much smaller economies of Lebanon and Jordan that face far greater financial strain.
In Lebanon the number is equivalent to 30% of the population. In Jordan the figure is 20%.
The cost to government budgets comes from the 85% of the refugee population that live in normal housing rather than camps, where the costs are borne by the United Nations.
For those not in camps there is a cost in terms of healthcare and education. There is also water supply and electricity. Even if they pay the bills these prices are often subsidised so the presence of the refugees adds to the total cost to the government.
By hosting the refugees the countries concerned are providing what a World Bank economist called a "global public good". So there is a willingness to help with the cost.
But Lebanon and Jordan are classified as middle income countries. The World Bank can't provide them with grants or cheap loans. It can only do that for low income nations. For middle income countries it can lend but at an interest rate that in essence covers the Bank's own borrowing costs.
Lebanon and Jordan are reported to be reluctant - understandably, you might say - to pay interest for dealing with a problem not of their own making.
So the World Bank is instead proposing to provide the loans while aid donor nations ease the financial burden by covering some of interest payment costs. It's not as direct a way of helping as grants would be, but it could make a significant difference.
The likely contributors to any such funding are the G7 - the largest developed economies, Gulf states and some smaller European nations.
Schroders fund manager Nick Kirrage told the BBC's Today programme that Tesco was paying a "premium" and he had "major concerns" about the deal.
Tesco chief Dave Lewis has confirmed that the company is "completely committed" to the Booker deal.
It brings together the UK's largest supermarket and the biggest cash-and carry business.
Schroders, which owns a 4.5% stake in Tesco, has warned that Booker is an expensive option.
"Booker is a business that has been doing extremely well, its profits have been growing very quickly and profit margins have been expanding rapidly," Mr Kirrage said.
"Tesco have had to pay a premium and have made an assumption that profits are going to continue to grow in the future.
"History suggests that the vast bulk of acquisitions destroy value for the acquiring shareholders in instances where you buy a high multiple.
"Even fewer deals create value and so we objectively think, looking back at history, that this is a deal that is going to struggle to create value. We have major concerns about it," he said.
Since becoming chief executive in 2014, Mr Lewis has worked on turning around the crisis-hit supermarket which reported a £6.4bn loss in 2015 - the worst in its history.
It comes as Tesco agrees to pay a fine of £129m to avoid prosecution for overstating its profits in 2014.
The supermarket said in a statement that it believed the deal would improve its recovery plans.
"We have been working on the transaction for over 12 months and believe the strategic and financial rationale is compelling," a spokesperson said.
The deal would drive growth for the two firms and help Tesco to source, distribute and sell food in the UK market, they said.
"Since announcing the transaction the majority of our top 10 shareholders have chosen to increase their shareholding in Tesco and we hope to convince all our shareholders of the merits of the transaction."
Another major Tesco shareholder, Artisan Partners, which also owns a 4.5% stake, has questioned the deal as well, according to reports.
Tesco surprised investors in January when it announced the £3.7bn takeover of Booker. As well as its wholesale business, Booker also owns the Premier, Budgens and Londis convenience-store brands.
The acquisition has already cost Tesco its senior independent director, Richard Cousins, who left because he disagreed with the takeover.
Mr Kirrage added: "We've had a constructive period of engagement with Tesco in private, but we've now come to a point where we are unable to go any further.
"Tesco have made it clear in private to us that they are compelled to do the deal and that they feel committed to it and therefore we feel that it's in the best interests of our clients to move into the public arena and try to raise some awareness and see if there are other shareholders who have concerns like ourselves."
Artisan Partners was unavailable for comment.
Gail Purcell is charged with causing death by careless driving following a collision with cyclist Michael Mason on Regents Street, London, in 2014.
The Cyclists' Defence Fund (CDF) raised £60,000 from 1,500 donations to pursue action against Ms Purcell.
Police had declined to refer the case to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Mr Mason died 19 days after the collision, having never regained consciousness from his injuries.
A trial has been set for 11 October at Southwark Crown Court following Ms Purcell's appearance at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier.
Private prosecutions can be brought by any individual or organisation and proceed in exactly the same way as those brought by the CPS.
Before proceeding with a prosecution, the CPS will consider if the case is in the public interest and if there is sufficient evidence to secure a conviction.
Marsh kept his nerve after a record fourth-wicket stand of 161 off 79 balls between David Warner (77) and Glenn Maxwell (75) had rescued the visitors from 32-3 in reply to 204-7.
Skipper Faf du Plessis underpinned the Proteas innings with 79 off 41 balls.
Kagiso Rabada then took 2-25, including the key wicket of number four Warner.
However, it was not enough to prevent the series being levelled, meaning Wednesday's match at Cape Town will be the series decider.
The two teams then fly to India for the World T20.

The party does not start until the hosts get a gold - and on Monday Rafaela Silva dominated the country's news bulletins by getting Brazil off the mark.
Silva, 24, jumped over the barriers to be embraced by colleagues, friends and fans after she beat Sumiya Dorjsuren of Mongolia in the 57kg judo.
BBC Americas editor, Leonardo Rocha said: "Silva grew up in one of Rio's most notorious favelas, Cidade de Deus - or City of God - not far from the Olympic venue where she won her gold medal. Her family enrolled her in free judo classes when she was a child to keep her away from gang life."
Silva said: "They said I was a disgrace. Here I am an Olympic champion in my hometown."
There were also plenty of tears at the Deodoro Stadium as Australia won the first Olympic rugby sevens title with a 24-17 win over their Antipodean arch-rivals New Zealand.
Australia's coach Tim Walsh said remarks made by New Zealand counterpart Sean Horan before the match had motivated his team. Horan said Australia did not like to be pressured, nor did they like the physical side of the game.
"But just because they're touch players and they wear ribbons and pig-tails and sing songs does not mean they're not world class rugby players and ruthless in defence and they proved that to everybody," Walsh said.
Only a day after Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten suffered a horrific crash in the women's road race, a track cyclist was taken to hospital after an accident in training.
Australia's Melissa Hoskins was taking part in team pursuit practice when the crash happened involving three of her team-mates.
Ashlee Ankudinoff, Georgia Baker, Amy Cure came off their bikes, as did Hoskins who was carried off the track on a stretcher and then taken to hospital as a precaution.
The team pursuit competition begins with qualifying on Thursday.
How do you solve a problem like empty seats at Olympic venues?
Almost 80% of available tickets have been sold, but the TV cameras have focused on barren sparsely populated areas at the arenas.
Organisers have put up billboards of Jamaican sprinting superstar Usain Bolt urging Brazilians to buy tickets inside some arenas.
Rio 2016 chiefs say they are cracking down on tickets touts with around 40 detained inside the Olympic Park on Monday.
Investigations finally got to the bottom of how a stray bullet found its way through the roof and into the media work room at the equestrian venue on day one.
Mario Andrada, the chief spokesman for Rio 2016's organising committee, said a shot had been fired at a police blimp from one of the Brazilian city's favelas.
He said that the intended target was a security camera on the blimp.
Meanwhile, Namibian boxer Jonas Junius was arrested by Brazilian police on suspicion of attempting to sexually assault a maid at the Olympic village.

"The crowd always makes a special atmosphere," said Del Potro, who beat world number one Novak Djokovic on Sunday.
"It was beautiful apart from the incident in the beginning. I hope that will not happen again because people need to enjoy the matches and we need to have peace between Argentina and Brazil. This is not football. After that there was a lot of respect so we could enjoy."

Kerry, 45, led Great Britain women to bronze at London 2012.
He was appointed performance director that year, overseeing Rio 2016 qualification for the men's and women's teams, but will now focus on coaching.
"My passion is coaching and that is the fundamental basis for me making this decision," he said.
"My coaching is still developing. While I have the energy and keep getting better at what I do, I want to keep pursuing that passion for as long as I can."
Kerry's GB team are next in action at the Champions Trophy at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre in London from 18-26 June.
Cpl Anna Cross was the first person in the world to be given the experimental Ebola drug MIL 77, her doctors said.
Cpl Cross, aged 25, from Cambridge, caught the virus while working as a volunteer nurse in Sierra Leone.
During her illness she lost 22lb (10kg) and spent 14 days being treated at London's Royal Free Hospital.
Doctors at the hospital said they were "absolutely thrilled" she had made a full recovery.
They described the drug she was given as a close relative of the medicine ZMapp - which British nurse William Pooley received when he was treated for Ebola.
Experts at the Royal Free said MIL 77 was made in China and that a limited supply was available, should anyone need it.
It is too soon to know what role the drug played in Cpl Cross's recovery, they added.
The army reservist thanked the team at the hospital, saying they were, in her opinion, "the best in the world".
She said: "They are an incredible bunch of clinicians - incredibly skilled, incredibly dedicated and incredibly professional.
"Thanks to them I'm alive."
The military medic had been working at the British Kerry Town treatment centre in Sierra Leone for three weeks before she became ill.
But Cpl Cross, who is an intensive care nurse in the UK, said an investigation had not been able to determine how she caught the virus.
When first told she had Ebola she said "it was really hard for a few hours".
She added: "Then something within me just kicked in, as it does in difficult situations."
But when it came to telling her family about the virus she was "completely chicken".
The military sent people to support her relatives during this time.
Doctors said she is now completely free of Ebola after being cared for in an isolation unit.
But she added: "It's going to take time until I can just be normal and get about my normal day. Then I have to be military fit, that might take months."
Prof Jonathan Ball, a virus expert at the University of Nottingham, said: "This is fantastic news that another individual admitted to the Royal Free has recovered from Ebola.
"She was given an experimental drug, but it is impossible to say whether or not this directly contributed to her clearing the virus.
"In order to know whether a drug does work we need experimental trials and thankfully trials of various drugs are underway in West Africa, where Ebola virus is still doggedly clinging on."
Ebola has claimed more than 10,000 lives across the worst-affected countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia in the past 12 months.
It happened at about 22.45 BST at a post office in the Ballynafeigh area of the Ormeau Road.
A man fled with cash after brandishing a bottle.
The PSNI found a man matching the suspect's description in University Street. He ran from police but was subsequently arrested in Lavinia Square.

Kiev said the measures would take effect on 25 October and would include major Russian airlines Aeroflot and Transaero.
Russian transit flights will also be banned if the planes carry military personnel or dual-use goods.
Moscow described the move as "an act of madness", promising a firm response.
In a separate development, Ukraine and Russia reached an agreement on supplies of natural gas to Kiev for the coming winter, ending months of tough negotiations.
The deal - brokered by the European Union - was initialled in Brussels. However, it requires "further procedures" before it can be signed.
Past gas disputes between Russia and Ukraine have led to interruptions in supply and caused major disruptions in shipments of Russian gas to EU countries.
The flight ban was announced by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk.
"Russian planes with the Russian tricolour have no business in Ukrainian airports," he said.
Ukraine's aviation authorities later said the ban would take effect on 25 October.
Last week, Ukraine imposed sanctions against 400 people and 90 legal entities - most of them from Russia - held responsible for Moscow's annexation of Crimea in March 2014 and the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Responding to Ukraine's ban announcement, Russian officials said they would be forced to take adequate measures.
Dmirty Peskov, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said - that if implemented - such a ban would be "another act of madness".
Almost 8,000 people have been killed since fighting erupted in eastern Ukraine in April 2014.
Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of arming the separatists and also sending its regular troops in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Moscow denies this, but admits that Russian "volunteers" fight alongside the rebels.
The EU and the US have imposed their own sanctions against Russian officials and top allies of President Putin.
A ceasefire in eastern Ukraine has been holding in the last two weeks, although there have been reports of occasional shelling.
Jordon Begley, 23, died in hospital after being Tasered at his home during a row with neighbours on 10 July 2013.
The jury at Manchester Civil Justice Centre will have to decide whether the use of the Taser and him then being restrained were factors in his death.
Up to 11 officers went to Mr Begley's house in Gorton after his mother called 999 to report he he had a knife.
Dorothy Begley, 47, said she feared her son may get into a fight.
The jury was told Mr Begley, who worked in an ice-cream factory, had thrown the knife down and was unarmed when he was shot in his dining room from a distance of 70cm (27in).
PC Terence Donnelly, who pulled the trigger, PC Dave Graham, PC Christopher Mills, PC Peter Fox and PC Andrew Wright - all officers serving with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) - have all given evidence.
Coroner Nigel Meadows told the jury "it has been a long case with a lot of evidence" which had been "different and inconsistent".
Mr Begley, who was a heavy drinker and used cocaine, was hit with the Taser and then, as he resisted arrest, was dealt two distraction strikes as officers struggled to cuff him.
Mrs Begley said she had seen the "fear in his face" moments before being hit, adding that her son's arms were by his side.
The jury heard PC Donnelly opened fire because he was worried Mr Begley might have a concealed knife on him and the suspect took "one step too far" towards him.
The officer told the hearing he pulled the trigger after Mr Begley put his hands into the pockets of his jogging pants.
Despite orders to stand back, he said, Mr Begley walked towards him in a "fighting stance".
Seconds after being Tasered he became unresponsive with abnormal breathing and another officer noticed a "golf ball-sized" bump over his right eye and the imprint of the carpet on his face.
He died two hours later at Manchester Royal Infirmary.
Medical experts said the Taser did not or was "unlikely" to have contributed to or caused the heart attack Mr Begley suffered, but the alcohol he had consumed and the struggle with officers as they cuffed him may have been "contributing factors" to his cardiac arrest.
The circumstances of his death were reported to the Independent Police Complaints Commission which decided it was appropriate to carry out an independent investigation.
Opponents of embattled President Nicolas Maduro say the move has given his government a financial lifeline.
The New York-based investment bank is reported to have bought the bonds at a heavily discounted rate.
Goldman Sachs said it bought the debt on the secondary market and did not deal directly with the government.
But the opposition has threatened that a future government would refuse to repay the debts to the bank.
The opposition-controlled Congress also voted on Tuesday to ask its US counterpart to investigate the deal.
"Goldman Sachs' financial lifeline to the regime will serve to strengthen the brutal repression unleashed against the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans peacefully protesting for political change in the country," said Julio Borges, head of Venezuela's Congress, in a letter to Goldman Sachs president Lloyd Blankfein.
"Given the unconstitutional nature of Nicolas Maduro's administration, its unwillingness to hold democratic elections and its systematic violation of human rights, I am dismayed that Goldman Sachs decided to enter this transaction."
He said he intended to recommend to "any future democratic government of Venezuela not to recognise or pay on these bonds".
BBC economics correspondent Andrew Walker says it is likely that the price was deeply discounted and, if the debts are paid on time, it would make the bonds a very lucrative investment.
However, the economic crisis in Venezuela means that a default is a real possibility, he adds.
A small group of protesters gathered outside the Goldman Sachs offices in New York on Tuesday, holding placards accusing the company of supporting President Maduro.
The bonds were issued by Venezuela's nationalised oil company, PDVSA.
In a statement, Goldman Sachs said it made the purchase in the expectation that the political situation in Venezuela would improve.
"We are invested in PDVSA bonds because, like many in the asset management industry, we believe the situation in the country must improve over time," it said.
"We recognise that the situation is complex and evolving and that Venezuela is in crisis. We agree that life there has to get better, and we made the investment in part because we believe it will."
Venezuela is grappling with regular anti-government demonstrations and dozens of people have died in protest-related violence since April.
The jury found Oculus, which Facebook bought in 2014, used computer code belonging to video game developer Zenimax to launch its own VR headset.
Oculus said it was "disappointed" and would appeal against the ruling.
The case threatened to overshadow Facebook's latest results, which showed it enjoyed a strong end to the year.
Facebook's net profit more than doubled to $3.6bn in the fourth quarter.
The social network was helped by 53% growth in advertising revenues, and said it was on course to hit two billion users in the first half of 2017.
Shortly before the results came out, the court awarded Zenimax damages from Facebook, Oculus and Oculus executives following a three-week trial.
Zenimax argued that its early innovations in virtual reality were unlawfully copied when Oculus built its own headset, the Rift.
"We are pleased that the jury in our case in the US District Court in Dallas has awarded Zenimax $500m for defendants' unlawful infringement of our copyrights and trademarks," said Zenimax chief executive Robert Altman.
The co-founder of Oculus, Palmer Luckey, was also found to have broken a non-disclosure agreement with the firm.
However, the jury ruled that none of the defendants misappropriated Zenimax's trade secrets.
Few people will have given Mark Zuckerberg as many headaches as Palmer Luckey.
The 24-year-old founded Oculus VR, and when Facebook stepped in to buy the firm for $2bn, he was rewarded very handsomely indeed. Then it went a bit downhill.
First, it was revealed he was using some of that money to fund a pro-Donald Trump trolling campaign, which led to Facebook removing him from public view. He didn't even turn up to his own company's developer's conference last year.
And now, a jury has ruled that he broke a non-disclosure agreement that'll mean $500m in damages (unless Facebook wins on appeal).
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't display many emotions - but you wonder what he'll be like behind closed doors on this one.
As it stands, Palmer Luckey is still a Facebook employee, but what he's doing there is anyone's guess - the company won't even tell me his job title.
An Oculus spokesperson said: "The heart of this case was about whether Oculus stole Zenimax's trade secrets, and the jury found decisively in our favour."
The firm did not comment on the $500m damages.
Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg testified last month that "the idea that Oculus products are based on someone else's technology is just wrong".
Zenimax, which owns id Software, a video games developer, was suing Facebook for $2bn.
Along with the claims against Palmer Luckey, it alleged that John Carmack, co-founder of id, took intellectual property belonging to Zenimax when he left the firm to join Oculus as its full-time chief technology officer.
Virtual reality is only a small part of Facebook's current business, but is seen as important to the firm's strategy over the next 10 years.
Most of Facebook's fourth-quarter revenue - which jumped 54% to $27.6bn - came from adverts on its social network.
"Facebook had another stellar quarter, delivering record revenue, user growth and profitability, as it rides the shift of advertising to online," said Martin Garner, a senior analyst at CCS Insight.
"However it expects advertising growth to slow in 2017, so it expects to be less profitable this year."
Other challenges that Facebook face this year include a changing approach to privacy in Europe, an uncertain business landscape in the US and challenges in China, Mr Garner said.
The social network has also been widely criticised after some users complained that fake news on its platform had influenced the US presidential election.
In a call with analysts on Wednesday, Facebook executives signalled it would tackle the problem through the use of more artificial intelligence.
They also said many of Facebook's new users were in India, where telecoms operators had offered free data packages for Facebook traffic.
For the full year, Facebook grew its net profit by 177% to $10.2bn.
Shin Hyun-woo was found guilty of accidental homicide and falsely advertising the deadly product.
Reckitt Benckiser is one of several firms linked to the deaths.
Lotte Mart, Homeplus and other retailers were also found guilty of selling the toxic product.
Mr Shin was head of Reckitt Benckiser's Oxy subsidiary from 1991 to 2005.
The seven years were the maximum prison sentence the court could give.
Reckitt Benckiser withdrew its product from the market after South Korean authorities suggested a link between chemicals to sterilise humidifiers and lung conditions in 2011.
It is thought that about 100 people have died from the products from the various manufacturers and many more suffer from related health problems.
The firm has offered compensation to the families of those who died, as well as the hundreds more who were injured.
The company also said it was setting up a multi-million-dollar humanitarian fund for the victims and their families.
Mazher Mahmood, 52, of Purley, south London, pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice at a hearing at the Old Bailey.
His co-accused, Alan Smith, 66, a retired driver from Dereham, Norfolk, also pleaded not guilty to the charge.
They will face a two week trial starting on 19 September.
The pair have been accused of conspiring together to pervert the course of public justice between 22 June and 22 July 2014.
The charge states that Mr Smith changed a draft statement he gave to police in the case of the former X Factor judge.
The former News Of The World reporter, who often posed as a sheikh during his investigations, claims to have helped put more than 100 criminals behind bars during his 25-year career.
The two men are currently on unconditional bail.
Officers were called to Tenby's North Beach area of the town at about 09:50 BST on Monday.
Dyfed-Powys Police want to hear from anyone who may have seen a woman in her early 60s from 19:30 on Sunday night.
She was seen wearing a flowered blouse, black leggings, black "Ugg"-style boots, black T-shirt and a green coat.
She was also carrying a rucksack.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
A 5-1 defeat at Peterborough in their last game of the season saw the Tangerines drop into the fourth tier.
Boss Neil McDonald is unsure if he will be in charge of the club next season.
"An urgent board meeting has been called to discuss the club's future and implement plans to halt further decline," said a club statement.
"The board takes full responsibility for the position we now find ourselves in.
"Mistakes have been made in the last few years and we continue to pay for some of them, whilst learning from others."
A number of supporters have demonstrated against the way chairman Karl Oyston and his father Owen, who is Blackpool's owner, have run the club in recent seasons.
Protests took place outside Bloomfield Road at their final home game of the season against Wigan and continued at Peterborough.
After their one-season stay in the Premier League in 2010-11, Blackpool spent three seasons in the Championship, but have now suffered back-to-back relegations.
"We understand that the supporters care passionately about the club and want to see it succeed," added the statement.
"Fan representation on the board has already been initiated. A democratic process for fan board membership will be implemented for the coming season and it is hoped that the fans will have a large say in shaping future policy.
"The board does not underestimate the challenge ahead and will now re-focus its energies to rectify things on the pitch and try to repair some of those off it, whilst sadly accepting that some of the issues may not be curable."
St Nicholas C of E Primary School was praised for its "highly effective teaching" and "ambitious leadership".
Ofsted said the school had been on a "phenomenal journey" since its previous inspection when it was rated as "requiring improvement".
The school said Blackpool was "bouncing back" from "negative headlines".
Secondary schools in the town were described as "dire" last year by the chief inspector of schools, with two thirds of schools rated as either "inadequate" or "requiring improvement".
In contrast, inspectors said pupils at St Nicholas, on School Road, behaved "impeccably", were proud of their school and were highly curious and confident.
The report, following an inspection on 1 and 2 March, also praised staff, governors and parents and said outcomes had "improved rapidly", with "excellent progress, especially in reading and mathematics".
Head teacher Andy Mellor said it was all down to a "truly community effort".
"It has been a hard journey but well worth the considerable effort," he added. "I am sure that it won't be long before other Blackpool schools will be judged outstanding too.
"There have been so many negative headlines... and yet there is so much fantastic work going on in Blackpool schools. Our kids in Blackpool deserve the best."
An outstanding rating was "great for the town", he said, adding: "Blackpool is bouncing back."
Westcliff Primary School was rated outstanding by Ofsted inspectors in 2009. It has since become an academy school and was rated "good" in 2013.
The only other schools rated "outstanding" in Blackpool are specialist schools: Highfurlong School and Park Community Academy.
At the opening of a new exhibition, Gabriele Finaldi said he wanted to make the area around the gallery "a space that works for us", The Times reports.
The paved area has become a popular place for street artists, especially people dressed as "levitating Yodas".
The council said it wanted to "find a solution that appeals to everyone".
During the opening of Delacroix and the Rise of Modern Art, Mr Finaldi recalled how when he worked for the gallery in the 1990s the North Terrace was a street.
"I don't remember the bagpipes or the Yodas or the oompah band player who shoots flames out of his tuba or the Elvis impersonator or the west African evangelist preacher," he said.
The area was pedestrianised in 2003 and attracts performers who arrive early each morning to claim the best spot.
Hannah Rothschild, chairwoman of the the gallery's trustees, added that meetings sometimes took place "to the sound of Bob Dylan being played on the bagpipes".
She suggested turning the area into "one of London's great parks... with shade and respite and calm".
A National Gallery spokesperson said it believed "there is room for improvement" and wanted to work "in partnership with Westminster Council and the Mayor of London".
Trafalgar Square is looked after by Westminster City Council.
A spokesperson for the council said it would look to "deal with concerns" but wanted to make sure "we keep a vibrant feel to the area".
Clement "Butch" Desmier, 68, was found dead at his house in Rowlestone Rise, Ravenscliffe, Bradford in August 2012.
The father-of-six and grandfather of 10 had suffered multiple injuries, including 40 stab wounds.
Police said the investigation was ongoing and appealed for anyone with information to contact officers.
Stephen Beadman, 29, who admitted killing Kayleigh Haywood, was also convicted of falsely imprisoning her.
His friend Luke Harlow, 28, who lured Kayleigh to his home after contacting her online, was jailed for 12 years.
Judge Mrs Justice Cox said the case showed "the dangers to which young users of social media are exposed".
Beadman was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 35 years.
Harlow was sentenced for sexually touching and falsely imprisoning Kayleigh, and grooming her and two other girls.
Live updates: Life in prison for schoolgirl's killer
How murdered schoolgirl was groomed online
Kayleigh, from Measham, Leicestershire, started chatting with Luke Harlow on Facebook just two weeks before she was killed.
They exchanged 2,600 messages - mainly by text - which led her to believe Harlow was her boyfriend.
She agreed to stay at his flat in the nearby village of Ibstock on Friday 13 November and her father dropped her off outside Ibstock Community College.
On Harlow's instruction, Kayleigh had told her parents she was staying with a friend.
Beadman, who lived next to Harlow, told police he met Kayleigh for the first time when he went round to the flat on the Saturday evening.
The two men were found guilty of keeping her prisoner between 21:00 GMT on the Saturday and 03:00 on the Sunday, but the judge said it may never be known exactly what went on in the flat during that time.
A neighbour saw Beadman chasing Kayleigh, who was naked from the waist down, as she fled the flat in the early hours of the Sunday.
Beadman then took her across a road where he raped her, before marching her for a mile-and-a-half across rough ground to where he battered her to death.
He told police he used a brick as a weapon, and injuries to his face and hand were thought to be evidence of a struggle with Kayleigh.
Miranda Moore QC, for the prosecution, said: "Kayleigh was not submissive, she fought and fought and she ran and she was chased by him.
"She was fighting him off, hence the injuries to his hand, she was shouting 'Leave me alone, get off me'."
Her body was found three days later, hidden in a hedgerow near a stream after a police search involving more than 300 officers.
The judge said Kayleigh had so many serious facial injuries she had to be identified through her dental records.
The judge told Beadman: "The pain, terror and anguish that would have been suffered by this young girl is truly horrifying to contemplate.
"I am entirely satisfied on the evidence that she would have been acutely distressed and frightened.
"She must have been absolutely terrified."
In a victim impact statement read to the court, Stephanie Haywood, Kayleigh's mother said: "How do I begin to tell you how I feel.
"How does a mother explain to someone how her child has been taken away by evil people?
"There is so much anger inside my heart. I am completely destroyed, there's no words to describe in this world how I feel each minute of each day.
"How could this happen, robbed of my daughter, robbed of my beautiful girl?
"I'll never see her grow into a young lady, into a woman and mother, how cruel can someone be?
"No sentence will be enough, we cannot get back what we have had taken away, a beautiful young life."
Kayleigh's father Martin Whitby said in his statement: "How do you get through each day, some people ask. The answer is I don't, I just exist from day to day."
Beadman and Harlow showed no emotion as the sentences were read out but there were cries of "yes" from the public gallery, which was packed with members of Kayleigh's family, including her parents.
Many family members had been in tears as they heard the judge describe how Kayleigh was groomed online by Harlow.
The judge told Kayleigh's parents they should not blame themselves for not spotting the dangers of online grooming.
She said: "It seems to me this is every parent's worst nightmare.
"It is absolutely clear to me absolutely no blame can be attached to them for what happened."
Gary Bell QC, defending Harlow, said his client did not know Beadman would kill the teenager but added: "She should not have been put in the path of the monster that lived next door.
"She should have been home in bed."
He said his client had been attacked in prison and had to spend all day locked in his cell for fear of further assaults.
The judge was told earlier that police found child abuse images and extreme pornography on computers belonging to Beadman.
Officers also found that he had been searching for extreme pornography the day before he went round to Harlow's flat when Kayleigh was there.
The judge said the other two girls groomed by Harlow were both deeply traumatised by what had happened to them, although one had told police she still loved him.
Both believed he was their boyfriend, the judge said, which testified to the chilling nature of online grooming.
Coastguards arrived at Aberavon beach, Neath Port Talbot at about 05:00 BST on Tuesday and said the dolphin was "very much alive" despite being in low water.
It was stretchered back to the sea and the local lifeboat made sure it reached deep waters.
Port Talbot coastguard said it was "very grateful" for the help of dog walkers and local residents.
A coastguard spokesman said local residents brought towels and buckets of water to keep the dolphin alive, before a truck was used to ferry water back and forth.
"Thankfully the dolphin made it to deep waters and survived, a feat that is very uncommon," he said.
"The fantastic teamwork ensured a good end to the unlucky dolphin's situation."
The RMT said the service, which links Inverness and Fort William with London, has been suffering from defects such as broken toilets and fire alarms.
This has led to delays and cancellations, the union said.
Serco, which took over Caledonian Sleeper earlier this year, said it was disappointed the union was considering industrial action.
It added that it was working hard to improve the sleeper service.
Warnock spoke to Forest - among other clubs - before succeeding Paul Trollope as Cardiff boss earlier this month.
The Bluebirds, who are 22nd in the Championship, are away at 17th-placed Forest on Saturday.
"If I wanted to smile at people who turned me down in my career, I would never stop smiling," said Warnock.
"There have been a couple of times where I didn't think I would come back. Then last year at Rotherham I really enjoyed the buzz and to get an opportunity here is one not to be missed.
"It [Cardiff] is far better than i thought it would be. I have always thought it was a good club but I have just been surprised and amazed at the support from everywhere. Not just the city but the valleys, all round."
The 67-year admits If things had been different, he could have been in the opposite dugout in charge of Forest this weekend.
"I talked to a nice chap there throughout the summer and it just was not meant to be at that time," the 67-year-old added.
"I am a massive believer in fate. This fits me far better, my type of place, two-and-a-half hours from home as well. You don't get many opportunities like that."
Warnock will leave team selection until as late as possible as his squad monitor several minor injuries.
Meanwhile, Wales midfielder Emyr Huws, who has yet to feature under Warnock, may get a chance to impress in a behind-closed-doors friendly Cardiff hope to organise next week.
"I suppose it was unlucky for him to be away with the Welsh squad because he wasn't in when I was working with them and seeing what I could do and organise in a very important two days," said Warnock.
"He's been a bit unlucky but I've just not seen enough of him."
The two sides will meet on Friday, 6 February, 24 hours after runners-up Wigan Warriors travel to Widnes in their opening fixture of the campaign.
The opening weekend sees two Yorkshire derbies with Castleford v Wakefield and Huddersfield Giants at home to Hull FC.
Warrington play host Salford Red Devils, with Hull KR meeting Leeds Rhinos at the KC Lightstream Stadium.
Wigan forward Ben Flower will miss his side's first re-match with St Helens on Good Friday as he serves a six-month ban, the longest in Super League history, for punching Lance Hohaia during the Grand Final.
The earliest Flower could return to action would be Wigan's home game against Warrington on 23 April.
Hohaia, however, will be free for Saints' game against Catalan as he will serve his one-game ban in pre-season for striking Flower with his forearm in the Grand Final.
Only 12 sides will be involved in the first phase of Super League, with Bradford Bulls and London Broncos relegated to the Championship as part of the game's revamped structure.
But there will be a break after the opening two rounds of games while St Helens, who will name their new head coach on Monday, Wigan and Warrington compete against the top Australian sides in the new World Club Series.
Magic Weekend will take place on 30-31 May with all 12 sides playing at St James' Park in Newcastle.
Super League General manager Blake Solly has predicted a "momentous year" in 2015, with "unprecedented levels of excitement, drama and jeopardy" because of the new structure.
It will see Super League and Championship play 23 games in two divisions of 12 and then be split into three pools of eight.
The top Super Eights group will then play seven further games, with the top four at that stage progressing to contest places in the Grand Final.
Four further top-flight clubs for the 2016 season will come from the middle qualifiers pool.
The Super Eights will begin on 8-9 August, with the season reaching its climax in the first two weekends of October.
The Super League semi-finals, Championship Shield final and so-called million-pound match between the fourth and fifth teams in the middle Super Eight group will decide the final promotion place, on 3-4 October, with the Grand Final at Old Trafford on 10 October.
Next season's Challenge Cup, meanwhile, will have byes to the sixth round for the top eight sides from Super League 2014, and the final will be played at Wembley on 29 August.
Police said Camilia Lupu, originally from Romania but living in Oldham, was reported missing on 26 June.
Camilia is believed to be travelling with Romanian national Alin Coman. She is white and about 5ft 7in (1.4m) tall, slim and with long dark hair and brown eyes.
A press conference is due to be held by Greater Manchester Police later.
The manual will be distributed to the sport's governing body's 152 affiliated organisations around the world, and every club in Great Britain & Ireland.
It provides practical guidance in the three key areas of management, course set-up and player behaviour.
Following a survey carried out by The R&A, 60% of golfers said they would enjoy golf more if rounds were quicker.
Martin Slumbers, chief executive of The R&A, says the guide offered "solutions to day-to day pace of play challenges".
He recognised that pace of play is a "key issue" and the new manual "outlines approaches which have proven to be effective".
Iain Carter, BBC golf correspondent:
"This manual should be essential reading for golfers and especially club managers. The R&A believe longer gaps between tee times can ease congestion and speed up the game.
"It is also refreshing that they are encouraging "ready golf" in strokeplay, so that a player primed to play does not have to wait for someone less prepared and further from the hole.
"Course set-up is another key factor, as we witnessed at Sawgrass last Saturday when lightening quick greens led to rounds ridiculously stretching beyond five and a half hours. Fast greens seemed to lead to slow play at the Players Championship and the R&A plan to study further the significance of this correlation."

Oh, who won a Golden Globe for her role as prickly Dr Cristina Yang, was one of the original six cast members, all of whom started the series as interns.
"Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go," Oh told the Hollywood Reporter.
It has not been revealed how the 42-year-old will exit the ABC show at the end of its upcoming 10th season.
Oh added: "It's such an interesting thing to play a character for so long and to actually get the sense that she wants to be let go as well.
"Cristina wants to be let go, and I am ready to let her go. We have to start the process, story-wise, for the Grey's writers to think of why she's going to go."
Oh has received five supporting actress Emmy nominations for her portrayal of Dr Yang, an ambitious and driven doctor who repeatedly puts her career before her personal life.
She told the Hollywood Reporter that she started to consider leaving in May 2012, when she and the show's other stars signed two-year deals, taking them to the end of forthcoming 10th season.
Grey's Anatomy creator, Shonda Rhimes, who also conceived Oh's character, thanked the popular actress for her "collaboration on a character we both love so deeply".
"One of the best days of my life as a writer happened the day Sandra Oh walked in my door to audition and forever changed the course of Grey's Anatomy with her brilliant, nuanced portrayal of Cristina Yang," said Rhimes.
"This year is going to be bittersweet for us - we're both going to savour every moment of Cristina Yang, and then we're going to give her the exit she deserves. And when Sandra walks out of my door, Grey's Anatomy will once again be forever changed."
Oh told her co-stars about her decision on Tuesday, during a reading for the 200th episode.
It is expected that negotiations will take place shortly with the rest of the cast about their future on the show, which has picked up several industry awards since it began in 2005.
In a statement, a spokesperson for ABC said: "It's our intention to have Grey's on the air for many years to come, with as many of the original cast as possible."
Press secretary Sean Spicer rejected US media reports that the president sounded out Mr Comey at a private White House dinner in January.
According to the newspaper, the now-former FBI director said he would offer the president honesty, but not loyalty.
Mr Trump has faced a backlash for dismissing Mr Comey on Tuesday.
The FBI probe and parallel congressional investigations into alleged Russian political meddling, and whether any Trump campaign officials colluded with the Kremlin, have dogged his young presidency.
In Friday's daily briefing, Mr Spicer refused to comment on questions about whether Mr Trump had been making surreptitious recordings in the White House.
Mr Trump tweeted hours earlier that Mr Comey had "better hope there are no tapes" of their conversations.
Mr Spicer denied the tweet was a threat.
"The president has nothing further to add on that," he told reporters repeatedly when pressed about the post. "The tweet speaks for itself".
However, Mr Comey believes "if there is a tape, there is nothing he is worried about", a source told CNN.
Mr Trump's comments provoked fresh comparisons between his administration and that of disgraced President Richard Nixon, who famously recorded conversations, speeding his downfall during the Watergate scandal.
Why is Watergate in the news again?
The top Democrats on the House judiciary and oversight committees wrote to the White House on Friday demanding copies of any recordings.
John Conyers and Elijah Cummings' letter noted "it is a crime to intimidate or threaten any potential witness with the intent to influence, delay or prevent their official testimony".
Donald Trump was reportedly unhappy with how his press team handled fallout from Tuesday's decision to fire Mr Comey, so he's taken things into his own hands. Boy, has he.
First he gave an interview that essentially undercut all the arguments White House officials, from Vice-President Mike Pence on down, had made to paint the Comey sacking as an operation conducted through normal channels. Now he has taken to Twitter in earnest, spraying a barrage of allegations, accusations and aggressions against Democrats, the media and Mr Comey himself.
In sports terms, the strategy could be described as "flooding the zone" - launching a ferocious, full-out assault to overwhelm an opponent's defences. In this case, Mr Trump has the media scrambling to decide which story merits the most coverage.
Is it the details of the Comey-Trump dinner and the president's hints of secret "tapes"? His threat to cancel press briefings? The Oval Office visit by a Russian entourage? Perhaps, as Mr Trump suggests, the "real news" is the tentative trade agreement between the US and China on beef and poultry products?
When everything is a big story, nothing is. At least, that's what Mr Trump may hope.
Mr Comey has declined an invitation to testify to the Senate Intelligence Committee next Tuesday.
President Trump told NBC News that Mr Comey requested the one-on-one dinner, but the former FBI director reportedly maintains it was the president who invited him.
Mr Comey had said he was "uneasy" before the dinner, according to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
He told MSNBC on Friday that he had spoken to Mr Comey before the White House meal.
The FBI chief had confided he was concerned it might compromise his Trump-Russia inquiry, said Mr Clapper.
Mr Trump has said Mr Comey told him three times he was not a target of the FBI inquiry, fuelling accusations the president was interfering in the investigation.
Still chafing at media coverage of the firing, Mr Trump tweeted on Friday: "Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future 'press briefings' and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???"
Mr Spicer said the president was a "little dismayed" that his press team's attempts to give out information were being turned into a "game of gotcha" by the media.
Mr Trump doubled down in an interview with Fox News by threatening to hold the press briefings only once a fortnight, with himself at the podium.
"Unless I have them every two weeks and I do them myself, we don't have them," he said. "I think it's a good idea. First of all, you have a level of hostility that's incredible and it's very unfair." | England limited-overs spinner Stephen Parry has agreed a new long-term contract to stay at Lancashire.

Madison Lambe, of Boston, Lincolnshire, took the snaps during a visit to Sandringham on Christmas Day to watch the Royal Family walk to church.
Following the service the Duke of Cambridge came over to her and when asked for a photo he replied "you can't beat a good selfie on Christmas Day".
"He didn't seem bothered that I asked him, he was really nice," said Madison.
"It was sort of a dare from my mum to ask the Queen or him for a photo," added Madison, a pupil at Boston High School.
"I took down some flowers and there were a lot of other children there. When William got down to where I was stood I asked him if I could have a picture and he said 'yes'.
"Then he said 'right, you can't beat a good selfie on Christmas Day'.
"I didn't really expect it. It was a really good experience."
The prince posed for two photos with Madison, appearing to pout slightly in the second.

The team missed out on a place in the final after a 25-7 semi-final defeat by New Zealand.
Canada, who lost 17-5 to Australia in the other semi, have already been beaten 22-0 by Britain in their final group game.
New Zealand meet Australia, who pipped them to this season's World Series, for gold at 23:00 BST on Monday.
New Zealand took an early lead through Portia Woodman's try, but Britain levelled through Alice Richardson with Katy McLean adding the conversion to put them ahead.
The Black Ferns regained the advantage almost instantly through Ruby Tui, before Britain were reduced to five players shortly before half-time when McLean and Amy Wilson-Hardy were sin-binned.
During their two-minute absence, Woodman added another try and Huriana Manuel then sealed a comfortable victory.
GB captain Emily Scarratt admitted the "better team won", adding she had no complaints about either yellow card.
"We weren't good enough in that game," she told BBC Sport. "We made too many mistakes and weren't clinical enough. We had a game plan and we needed to stick to that.
"Now we have to dust ourselves off because there is still a lot to play for.
"Losing games is often the biggest thing to stir you on. We'll use that disappointment to give ourselves a kick up the bum."
Sir Clive Woodward, England's World Cup-winning coach, on BBC One:
"Great Britain have got to refocus now and make sure they take a bronze medal home. If they win bronze, then that is a great achievement.
"They are close to New Zealand and Australia but are not quite there yet. They have a good team but not world-class players - that is the difference.
"The skill level from the women's game is astonishing. But there was so much space after the two yellow cards. Once you've got five players you're never going to win the game."

Just over a month ago, Fayz Mohammad and his neighbour Zarin were two ordinary young Afghan men.
They held down good jobs as drivers for a local transport company and were happy to be able to feed their families.
Now both are in hospital in Herat, recovering from an ordeal which has left them traumatised and worried for their future.
In mid-March, 25-year-old Fayz and his younger colleague were enjoying time off duty in their home village in Rabat Sangi district while their trucks were being loaded.
On the second night of their stay, Taliban fighters arrived at 03:00 in the morning and abducted them.
The men were taken more than 100 miles away to Torghundi, a town on the border with Turkmenistan.
"They kept us for 27 days," Fayz told the BBC. "On the 28th day, at 10 in the morning, they cut off our hand and foot."
Resting on a simple bed in Herat's regional hospital, his right arm and left leg heavily bandaged, Fayz recounted his harrowing experience.
"They injected us with a fake anaesthetic from an ampoule," he says. "It didn't have any effect at all."
Fayz says he doesn't know what instrument the men used.
"I just saw a guy with white gloves. I don't know if he was a medic or not. I don't think he was because it took a very long time to cut off my hand. I suffered a lot, it was extremely painful."
Fayz says that he and his colleague were blindfolded during the procedure and that several men held their limbs and sat on their chests to keep them still.
There is confusion over what the two drivers were actually accused of.
Some reports suggest the two men were suspected of stealing, others say that they were targeted because their company worked for the Western troops in the country.
Fayz says that he and Zarin never did anything wrong and that they were used to set an example and send a warning to others. He says there was no kind of trial.
"There was no mullah, no judge, nobody," he says. "There were only Taliban. They were all laughing and making fun while they did this. They never listened to what we had to say."
Fayz also says that the insurgents offered to set them free if they agreed to plant explosives on one of the company trucks, but they refused.
A spokesman at the hospital told the BBC that the men had been found next to a main road and were brought to the clinic by drivers who spotted them.
The hospital says that Fayz and Zarin arrived around three hours after they lost their limbs and needed blood transfusions.
Their wounds needed surgery to help them heal properly and avoid infection. Doctors say that the amputation appeared to have been conducted by someone with medical knowledge as no bones had been broken.
Fayz says he is worried about how he will work in future and hopes he can be fitted with a prosthetic limb.
The case is a reminder of the punishments meted out by the Taliban authorities when they ruled much of the country between 1996 and 2001.
Citing Sharia law, Taliban officials carried out lashings, stonings, amputations and executions in public places such as squares, schools or sports grounds.
The sports stadiums in Kabul and Kandahar were notorious for such spectacles with thousands of people attending.
Taliban fighters would ensure a high turnout by driving through neighbourhoods announcing punishments through mounted loudspeakers.
Amputations were usually carried out by trained doctors, who operated with their faces covered for fear of reprisals.
In many cases a local anaesthetic was applied before the limb was removed with simple surgical instruments.
The punishment for theft was the loss of a hand, depending on the severity of the crime.
Amputees would often faint as the severed limb was paraded to the crowd before burial.
But Taliban-style justice has once again been observed in many parts of the country in recent years as the insurgency maintains its momentum.
There have been numerous reports of fighters meting out punishments usually in areas they control or where they have a significant or temporary presence.
In August 2010, the Afghan authorities released a video showing a couple being stoned to death in Northern Kunduz province after a Taliban court found them guilty of adultery.
In the same month Taliban fighters publicly flogged and executed a pregnant Afghan widow in the Baghdis area, after accusing her of an illicit affair.
Last year, insurgents were reported to have shot a woman for alleged adultery in Parwan province.
But beyond such extreme cases, Taliban courts are active in many parts of the country - intervening in local disputes, often at the request of villagers who have lost faith in the notoriously corrupt Afghan justice system.
And with the withdrawal of international troops and the ongoing search for a peace agreement with the Taliban, some favour a revival of strict Islamic law.
A gathering of more than 300 Afghan Islamic clerics three years ago called on President Hamid Karzai to enact Sharia, including the kind of punishments the Taliban have become notorious for.
Gerry Carroll, of the left-wing People Before Profit party, received 8,299 first preference votes in the Sinn Féin heartland of West Belfast.
In the process, he pushed out one of the republican party's five assembly members in the constituency.
He was one of two members of the anti-austerity party to be elected to the assembly at Stormont for the first time.
The second was veteran civil rights campaigner Eamonn McCann in Foyle, whose election cost the second biggest nationalist party - the Social Democratic and Labour Party - one of its seats.
The two men offer quite a contrast - Mr McCann enters Stormont at the age of 73, 46 years after contesting his first election, while the 29-year-old Mr Carroll follows a strong showing in last year's general election - when he received 19.2% of the vote - to win an assembly seat at the second attempt.
The new power-sharing executive is likely to face vocal criticism from the pair when they take their seats in the opposition benches.
Both have stressed that they see themselves as neither "orange or green" in Northern Ireland political terms and will designate themselves as other, rather than unionist or nationalist.
"We fought this election on the basis of being neither orange nor green," Mr McCann said.
"All of our canvassers, every evening, had a simple instruction - when anybody opens the door to them they were to say 'we our from People Before Profit, we are neither orange nor green, will you give us your vote?'
"That was the opening statement. We found that that resonated right across, even with people who weren't going to vote for us I think were pleased that we said it and remembered us in their preferences. I think that was very important.
"But also I think we benefited from the fact that there's deep disillusionment with the major parties and the way that the executive has handled itself and what it has delivered and not delivered over the last five years."
People Before Profit now has representatives in both the Irish parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly - three in the Dail (Irish parliament) and now two in Stormont.
"These are small numbers, but we are the first radical left party to have been able to win representation on both sides of the border. I think that's a significant achievement," Mr McCann said.
Sinn Féin also has elected representatives both sides of the border.
The Green Party organises separately in Northern Ireland and the Republic. There are two Green Party MLAs in the Northern Ireland, while the Republic has two Green members in the Dáil (Irish parliament).
While People Before Profit may challenge the republican party in some local constituency battles, Sinn Féin had 28 MLAs in the Northern Ireland Assembly and 23 TDs (members of the Irish parliament).
The combined vote of the five Sinn Féin candidates in West Belfast in Thursday's election was just under 20,000.
Another cross-community party which increased its vote and number of representatives was the Green Party in Northern Ireland, which gained an extra seat in South Belfast.
However, it would be wrong to say the face of Northern Ireland politics has changed.
It has been a very good election for the Democratic Unionists who won 29% of first preference votes, while Sinn Fein also seem to have held their ground in terms of seats.
Overall the combined vote for Sinn Féin and the SDLP dropped by just over 5%.
However, while some voices of opposition have been added to the assembly, in reality the status quo will remain largely unchanged.
The Englishman had been sixth reserve, knowing he must play the European Tour event to enable him to complete the 13 required to keep his Tour card and be available to play in the Ryder Cup.
"I found a voucher in a Willy Wonka chocolate bar," said Poulter, 39.
"If you wrote it no one would believe the story. I guess it was meant to be."
Poulter has been an inspirational figure for Europe in the Ryder Cup, playing in five of the last six events and helping defeat the United States on four occasions.
He has won 13 points out of a possible 18 since making his debut in 2004 and is unbeaten in five singles matches.
Poulter made a last-minute journey from Florida to compete in the Hong Kong Open two weeks ago to boost his chances of retaining his Tour card after former US PGA champion Rich Beem gave up his place in the field to allow him to take part.
He was then sixth reserve for this week's tournament in Shanghai. The first four reserves were drafted in to complete the 78-man field before South Africa's George Coetzee and USA's Brandt Snedeker withdrew, allowing Poulter a reprieve.
He finished tied 16th at the Turkish Open on Sunday, which was his 11th European Tour event of the season - and the first of the season-ending Final Series quartet.
The WGC in Shanghai will be his 12th and he is also in the field for next week's BMW Masters, also held in Shanghai.
The top 60 in the Race to Dubai rankings are then eligible to compete in the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai and Poulter is in 46th place heading into this week's event.
Machinery and equipment makers climbed after strong results from Deere, but technology companies fell after HP gave a weak profit forecast.
Stocks opened mostly lower, but soon began moving upwards on hopes that the US economy is continuing to strengthen.
The Dow ended 0.3% up at 19,083 points, and the S&P 500 rose 0.08% to 2,204.7. The Nasdaq lost 0.11% to 5,380.6.
Machinery maker Caterpillar rose 2.7% and hit the highest in about two years, while Deere jumped 11% to a record high close after the farm equipment producer reported a much smaller-than-expected decline in profit.
Industrial stocks also were given a boost by a report that showed a strong jump in orders for durable goods in October due to demand for machinery and other equipment.
Pharmaceutical stocks were hit after drugs giant Eli Lilly said it would stop developing its Alzheimer drug following a trial failure.
Eli Lilly fell 10%, and rival Alzheimer drug developer Biogen closed down 3.8%.
Healthcare stocks, like other sectors, had been hitting record highs in the wake of the US presidential election.
Wall Street had little reaction to minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting, which showed that policymakers appeared confident that the economy was strengthening enough to warrant interest rate increases soon.
Expectations among investors remained high that the Fed will raise rates in December.
"It's fully factored in," said John Traynor, executive vice president and chief information officer of People's United Wealth Management, in Connecticut.
The Warwickshire man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, bowed out of the 5,000-1 wager on Saturday.

He said he was "ecstatic" and looking forward to the rest of the league whatever the outcome.
"The odds are constantly changing, even Chelsea could sneak into the top four at the last minute," he said.
"A holiday to Spain is a certainty followed by paying off the mortgage with the winnings."
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "It's a life-changing amount of money and we congratulate our customer for holding his nerve this long."
Leicester City still have nine games left of the season, starting against Newcastle on 14 March, to secure their first ever top flight league title.
Odds on them winning the Premier League title are now 5-4, said Ladbrokes.
It comes a week after Leicester city John Pryke cashed out his bet for nearly £30,000.
Jan Kozlowski admitted causing serious injury to the 15-year-old boy after driving while disqualified.
He is the first person in Scotland to be convicted under new road traffic laws designed to clamp down on banned drivers.
The 40-year-old, a prisoner at HMP Perth, was remanded in custody.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard that Kozlowski was handed a road ban on 2 June last year after admitting a drink driving offence.
He had previously been convicted of being in charge of a car while drunk.
Kozlowski, a labourer, was back behind the wheel just days later - driving his works van, having failed to tell his employers of his ban.
At 18:20 on 9 July, he was driving on Dundee's Pitkerro Road when he hit the boy who was crossing the road with friends.
Fiscal depute Eilidh Robertson said: "He [the boy] stepped out between parked cars where he was struck by the motor van being driven by the accused.
"The accused did not swerve or sound his horn. He began to brake once hitting the boy and he remained on the bonnet of the van until the van came to a stop and he fell on to the roadway."
The boy's friends helped him onto the pavement before the accused and his brother, a passenger in the van, approached them.
"The accused assisted in helping the boy to his feet but said 'your problem, not mine' before getting back in his vehicle and driving away," Ms Robertson said.
A passer-by called the police and an ambulance.
The teenager - who cannot be named for legal reasons - had a badly broken ankle which could may require further surgery, the court was told.
Defence solicitor Ross Donnelly said he would give his plea in mitigation at a later sentencing date.
Sheriff Tom Hughes deferred sentence until next month for social work background reports.
Joanne Lee was was working for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board when she took more than 800 patient files.
She admitted to storing them in her home during office renovations.
The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) said Ms Lee's behaviour fell "seriously short" of that expected and suspended her from the register for 12 months.
Ms Lee said she initially removed the files as she feared they would be seen by workmen.
She returned them to the office in plastic bags, but moved them to a colleague's homes due to concerns they would be subject to scrutiny by her head of department during an upcoming office tour.
A panel of the HCPC Conduct and Competence Committee heard the absence of the files had resulted in the health board having to carry out either full re-assessments or further assessments on patients.
The panel chair, Manuela Grayson, said this "may have unnecessarily resulted in further intimate or invasive re-examinations", which in turn "may have caused additional physical or emotional distress".
Ms Lee was neither present nor represented at the hearing.
Froch, 38, who was appointed an MBE in June, won 33 of his 35 fights, with 24 victories by knockout.
Throughout his career, he has championed his home city, and will be remembered as one of its greatest sportsmen.
Froch, who was born in 1977, grew up just outside Nottingham, in the village of Gedling.
His affinity to the city was clear for all to see when he arrived in the ring for his first fight at the Nottingham Arena, in 2003, wearing a Nottingham Forest shirt.
He also wore the club badge on his shorts throughout the rest of his career.
It was also in Nottingham that Froch won his first world title - the WBC belt - against Canadian fighter Jean Pascal, in 2008.
However, two years later he lost it to Mikkel Kessler, in Denmark, only to win it back again from Arthur Abraham, in Finland.
After fights in the US, Froch returned to Nottingham and, in front of thousands of adoring fans, won the IBF world title against Lucian Bute in what critics have hailed as his "most complete performance".
Froch was desperate for a rematch against Kessler to take place at the City Ground, the home of Nottingham Forest.
However, the O2 Arena was the agreed venue and it was there that Froch unified the IBF and WBA titles.
He retained both in fights against George Groves, with the second bout fought at Wembley in front of a record-breaking crowd of about 80,000, in what Froch described as his "defining moment".
His exploits and affinity to Nottingham won him the accolade of becoming an honorary freeman of of the city, in September.
He had already been made an honorary freeman of birthplace Gedling in 2009, and in the same year was given an official reception by the city council, an honour previously given to the likes of Brian Clough and Torvill and Dean.
When he was awarded the honour last year, deputy leader of the city council, Graham Chapman, said: "Carl is very proud of the city and whenever there's any publicity nationally he's 'Carl Froch from Nottingham' - he's managed to brand his name along with that of the city."
He has supported several city charities, including NORSACA, which supports families with autistic children and appeals for cancer wards at local hospitals.
He said: "This city, I was born and raised, I'm bringing my two children up in Nottingham... my whole life, everything revolves around the city.
"This is where I belong."
BBC Radio Nottingham's Robin Chipperfield said: "After the collapse of his dream of fighting in Las Vegas in March, retirement always appeared the most likely option for Froch.
"One of the most admired boxers the UK has ever seen, and a man who championed Nottingham as he fought around the world, he'll be remembered as one of the city's greatest ever sportsmen."
It hasn't all been sweetness and light - in 2012 Nottingham's Capital FM Arena apologised after a Froch open air weigh-in disturbed nearby student exams.
Fans will miss him in the ring but are sure to see him around his hometown for some time to come.
Mr Nuttall, who is standing in the Stoke-on-Trent Central by-election, told the BBC he spent "three hours" on Monday giving a witness statement to Operation Resolve.
He was interviewed after he said he attended the 1989 FA Cup semi-final.
The MEP faced a fierce backlash earlier this month over false claims he lost close friends in the tragedy.
During a by-election hustings on BBC Five Live, he insisted he had since apologised to the "people that matter" for 2011 and 2012 claims on his website.
Hillsborough campaigner Margaret Aspinall previously told LBC radio the errors were "an insult" to people who did lose somebody on that day.
Asked if he would make a general apology to the people of Liverpool, Mr Nuttall said: "I want to put this in perspective. I didn't check something which went up on my website.
"It's not as if I've taken illegally from the public purse. It's not as if I've said something racist, it's not as if I have sent people to war."
Ninety-six people died as a result of the crush at the game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's ground.
On Monday, Liverpool and Merseyside UKIP chairmen Stuart Monkham and Adam Heatherington quit the party in protest, saying Mr Nuttall's comments were "unprofessional".
They also criticised UKIP's millionaire backer Arron Banks, who caused further anger when he said he was "sick to death" of hearing about Hillsborough.
Mr Nuttall said he was at Hillsborough on the day of the disaster as a 12-year-old boy with his father and two uncles.
He said: "From the upper tier of the Leppings Lane End, I watched the events of that day unfold with horror.
"Like everybody connected to the Hillsborough disaster, memories of 15 April 1989 bring me nothing but pain and upset."
Operation Resolve is one of two criminal investigations ordered following the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel's report in 2012.
An Operation Resolve spokesman said: "Our role is to investigate the causes of the Hillsborough disaster and to establish whether any individual or organisation is criminally culpable and, in that context, Mr Nuttall met criteria for taking a statement."
Liz Page's mother, Phyllis Lilley, 94, was admitted to Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester after a stroke last year.
The hospital, which has apologised, called to say she had passed away during the night.
Mrs Page told The Sun it did not enter her mind that the body would not have been her mother.
Speaking to BBC News, she said: "I last saw my mum on a trolley with an oxygen mask over her mouth in A&E, [her death] was the news I was expecting.
"My husband took me about an hour or so later. We were shown a lady in a cubicle, she looked like my mum looked when she'd been asleep in her chair, with her mouth open and her nose in the air, and her hair stuck to her forehead.
"I just said simply 'goodbye' and kissed her forehead."
Mrs Page returned home with her husband to Charminster, near Dorchester, and began making funeral arrangements until the hospital rang up later that day to say there had been a mistake and her mother was still alive.
"The gist was that my mum wasn't dead, they found her in another part of the ward," Mrs Page said.
"Nobody should receive news that someone has died, be shown the wrong body in a state of grief and then find out they're alive."
Mrs Page said staff told her the woman who died had a similar name.
She has never revealed the ordeal to her mother, who is now in a care home. Mrs Page said she decided to speak out to help prevent future mix-ups.
Dorset County Hospitals NHS Trust said it was an "unacceptable situation" and it had fully investigated the March 2014 incident.
A spokesman added: "Mrs Page made a complaint to the trust and received a full explanation and apology from the chief executive.
"We are extremely sorry for the distress caused to Mrs Page and her family. The staff involved were also very upset by what happened and lessons have been learnt. Nothing of this nature has happened since this incident 18 months ago."
The hospital said the mix-up had led to a change in its procedures.
Devendra Prasad Sinha was kicked and beaten with sticks by a group of men in Nalanda district on Sunday.
The incident happened after the bodies of two students who attended Mr Sinha's private school were found in a canal.
Villagers accused teachers from the private school of killing the students. No arrests have been made.
The mob attacked Mr Sinha after the bodies of Ravi Kumar and Sagar Kumar were recovered from a canal in Mirpur village, reports say.
The Times of India newspaper reported that that the villagers accused the school teachers of killing the students "in a fit of rage".
Poice said they were investigating the case, adding that there was no evidence the teachers were involved in the students' deaths.
Local TV channels showed footage of a group of men beating Mr Sinha with sticks and kicking him as he lay on the ground with his face down.
The school director later died from his injuries in hospital, police said.
The mob also set a couple of vehicles and two classrooms on fire.
Vigilante justice is not unheard of in India and there have been a number of such incidents in recent years.
In March, a suspected rapist was taken from prison by a mob and lynched in the north-eastern state of Nagaland.
Syed Sharif Khan, was stripped naked, beaten and dragged through Dimapur, Nagaland state's main city, before being hanged.
Fourteen months since predominately Shia protests erupted against the rule of the Sunni monarchy, questions are being raised over whether one of the biggest events in Bahrain's calendar should go ahead.
The Formula 1 Grand Prix is due to be held on 22 April and for the tiny island Gulf state this is huge.
It indirectly employs thousands of Bahrainis, both Shia and Sunni, and, according to the government, brings in hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of business, putting Bahrain firmly on the world sporting map.
The problem is, those protests are far from over, the country is perhaps more divided than ever along sectarian lines, and one of the most prominent pro-democracy campaigners, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, is two months into a hunger strike in protest at his life sentence on charges of trying to overthrow the monarchy.
If he dies in custody, as his lawyer warns he might, then the simmering daily clashes between police and protesters in the Shia villages will likely explode.
Little wonder that some of the international F1 participants are voicing doubts about whether they want to take part. Last year's F1 Grand Prix in Bahrain was postponed, then cancelled.
So should Bahrain's F1 go ahead this year or not?
Formula 1 Group CEO Bernie Ecclestone said on Tuesday this is "up to the people of Bahrain" and at the moment it is going ahead.
Essentially it boils down to two factors for teams to consider: safety and morality.
On safety, the Bahraini authorities are likely to take every possible precaution to shield participants from any unpleasantness. They will be chaperoned, escorted and protected, from airport to hotel to race track.
The venue itself is out in the desert, halfway down the island at Sakhir - and far from the troubled villages where Molotov cocktails are traded nightly with the riot police.
A long-term Bahrain resident said: "They may experience traffic jams but hopefully nothing worse".
But the issue of moral conscience is rather more complex.
Bahrain is where the Arab Spring visibly failed last year, smothered by draconian security measures that saw several unarmed protesters die in custody. Al-Khawaja himself was arrested in his house at night and beaten unconscious in front of his screaming family.
Since then, an independent commission of inquiry, the BICI commission, has investigated thousands of claims of abuses, found the government guilty of systematic abuse of prisoners, and made numerous recommendations to improve human rights which the ruler, King Hamad, has promised to act on.
Reforms include two senior police officers being drafted in from the UK and US to advise Bahrain on how to improve community policing, while several junior Bahraini officers are being investigated for alleged abuses.
But the opposition says the reforms are mainly cosmetic, innocent people are still in jail and there is no meaningful dialogue under way on how to share power more equitably, despite the efforts of the more reform-minded members of the ruling al-Khalifa family and moderate voices in the opposition.
If this month's Grand Prix is cancelled it would effectively be an international vote of no confidence in Bahrain.
This is exactly what many of the government's opponents want, sending a message that as long as the country's Shia community feels disenfranchised then why should it be business as usual?
But a senior official in Bahrain, who asked not to be named, told the BBC "cancelling the Grand Prix would be a real backward step and is not going to benefit anyone, either politically or economically.
"It will send the Sunni community apoplectic and make it harder than ever for moderates to reach common ground."
Aden Flint headed against the bar for the hosts before Jamie Paterson curled in their opener from 18 yards.
Tammy Abraham's coolly taken penalty made it 2-0 after Matt Doherty had brought down Mark Little in the box.
Abraham's second from close range sealed the win, with Jon Dadi Bodvarsson getting Wolves' consolation.
The Iceland striker scored his first goal since 20 August, but it came too late for Wanderers to mount a serious comeback.
City had started Saturday's game just one point above Blackburn, but their win and Rovers' home defeat by Barnsley established a valuable cushion over the bottom three with five matches left to play.
Two successive wins before the international break appeared to have eased some of the pressure on City, but away losses at Brentford and Preston - the latter a 5-0 defeat on Tuesday - put Lee Johnson's side back in trouble.
However, they capitalised on a poor Wolves performance, which was massively below par compared with those that earned boss Paul Lambert the Championship manager of the month award for March.
Wanderers, who gave a first start to teenager Morgan Gibbs-White, struggled for creativity without injured record signing Helder Costa and winger Ivan Cavaleiro, who came off the bench to replace the 17-year-old shortly after City's third goal.
Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson: "After conceding five at Preston, I needed to pick players I could trust today and the reaction was just as I had hoped.
"We had energy about us and did the basics well.
"The job is far from done, but I have never doubted our ability to stay in the Championship."
Wolves boss Paul Lambert: "We fell below the high standards we have set and when that happens in the Championship you get beaten.
"I am not going to have a go at the players because they have been brilliant in recent games.
"All good things come to an end, but we are certainly not going to pretend our season is over."

The body of Jose Alfredo Lopez Guillen was found late on Saturday near the town of Puruandiro in Michoacan state, prosecutors said.
He is the third priest to be found murdered in Mexico in the past week.
Father Lopez Guillen had been robbed before being abducted from his home last Monday in Janamuato, Michoacan state, Church officials said.
The Michoacan prosecutor's office said a post-mortem examination showed the priest had been killed several days before his body was found.
On the same day that he disappeared, the bodies of two other priests who had vanished the day before were found by a roadside in Veracruz, on Mexico's east coast. They had also been shot dead. It is not believed their deaths are linked to that of Father Lopez Guillen.
His death brings the number of priests murdered in Mexico since 2012 to 15, according to figures from the Catholic Multimedia Center, which monitors violence against clerics.
Veracruz and Michoacan have been plagued by years of violence from drug cartels and other organised crime.
Paul and Sandra Dunham, both 58 and from Northampton, flew from Heathrow on Thursday accompanied by US marshals.
The couple appeared before Maryland magistrate judge William Connelly in the US District Court at Greenbelt.
The couple are due to reappear in court on Tuesday when a decision is expected on whether they will be granted bail.
Mr Dunham's lawyer Gary Proctor said that the hearing went as he expected with the couple remanded into the custody of US marshals.
He said: "Paul is doing fine in the Chesapeake Detention Facility.
"So is Sandra, but they will be unable to see or speak to each other while they're there.
"He was allowed to bring all of his medication with him, so there is no discontinuity of medication."
The allegations the couple face centre on Mr Dunham's time as chief executive and president of Pace, a US company manufacturing soldering irons for the electronics industry. Mrs Dunham was director of sales.
The indictment against them says that between 2002 and 2009 the couple fraudulently charged personal expenses to their corporate credit cards and submitted vouchers to Pace for reimbursement that falsely described them as business expenses.
The couple went to hospital last week after saying they had tried to take their own lives to avoid being extradited.
They appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court where senior district judge Howard Riddle concluded they took drugs to prevent or delay their facing charges.
They were handed over to US marshals at Terminal Four of Heathrow Airport by officers from the Met Police's extradition unit.
Mr Dunham spent the weekend in Wandsworth prison, while Mrs Dunham was held in HMP Holloway.
They were initially arrested on 13 November 2012 on behalf of the US authorities.
Since then they have fought through the courts to resist extradition.
Solicitor Karen Todner said the pair were a "hard-working couple from Northamptonshire who strenuously deny the allegations against them".
Fairley, who played Catelyn Stark in the HBO series, will play Cassius in a new production of Julius Caesar at the Bridge Theatre.
Her previous Shakespeare roles include Othello's Emilia and Lady Macbeth.
Julius Caesar will also star Ben Whishaw as Brutus and David Morrissey as Mark Antony.
The new 900-seat venue is the brainchild of former National Theatre bosses Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr and will be the home of their new London Theatre Company.
The first play to open at the theatre will be Young Marx, a comedy by Richard Bean and Clive Coleman, which will see Rory Kinnear playing Karl Marx.
Sir Nicholas told the BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz about the plays, and said Young Marx focuses on the years just after he arrived in London.
"He was living in two rooms in Soho - he was broke, restless, horny, brilliant, and had total emotional illiteracy, he was a complete mess.
"Surrounded by creditors, spies, people after his wife, he's got writer's block... it's certainly not the Marx you see on the tombstone at Highgate Cemetery."
Young Marx will open in October, with Julius Caesar following in December.
"We're going to occasionally do a classic," Hytner said of the decision to stage the Shakespeare play.
"A lot of people are doing this play this year because it has so much to say about autocracy, and the horrified and ineffectual reaction of the educated elite."
Plans for Summer 2018 include Flatpack, a "dark comedy" by John Hodge, screenwriter of Trainspotting and Shallow Grave, and a new play by Nina Raine about JS Bach, starring Simon Russell Beale.

Her predecessor David Cameron regularly holidayed in Cornwall, but also went to foreign destinations including the Canary Islands, Italy and Portugal.
Mrs May lists walking as one of her hobbies and has spoken of doing "a lot of quite strenuous walking up mountains in Switzerland" with her husband.
She is due to return to the UK on 24 August.
Number 10 has described the prime minister's trip as a holiday and has not said whether she will hold any talks with Swiss leaders during the visit.
Despite being in the heart of Europe, Switzerland is not an EU member or a member of the European Economic Area, but signed its first free trade agreement with the EU in 1972.
In 1999 it signed an agreement on freedom of movement with the EU, and is an associate member of the Schengen passport-free area.
It is currently embroiled in long-running talks with the EU over how to implement a 2014 referendum result in which the Swiss people backed limiting immigration through quotas, including EU citizens.
Switzerland has also been a holiday destination for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who fractured a bone in her pelvis in a cross-country skiing accident in the country in 2014.
Mrs May has previously said that she loves holidaying in Switzerland because she can get some "peace and quiet".
She said she and her husband Philip had "discovered the joys" of walking in the country "quite by chance".
In a piece for the Daily Telegraph in August 2007, she said: "We first visited the country about 25 years ago but spent most of the time in Lucerne.
"On a return trip, we decided to go walking, enjoyed it and gradually began doing more adventurous hikes.
"We have been going back ever since and have walked all over the country."
Mrs May said in the piece that her two favourite areas are Zermatt and the Bernese Oberland, which are both "fantastic for walking".
She added: "If you're a keen walker, Switzerland is a wonderful summer destination: the views are spectacular, the air is clear and you can get some peace and quiet."
Jane Wilson and her husband Gary, of Stockport, decided not to go to the summit during the walk on March 25.
Instead, using Mr Wilson's smartphone to guide them, they headed across the mountain's west face but Mrs Wilson fell 30ft (9m) down a vertical cliff.
The coroner recorded a conclusion of accidental death.
The hearing was told Mrs Wilson, a librarian at Manchester University, fractured her skull and sustained other severe injuries in the fall.
In a statement to John Gittins, the coroner for north Wales east and central, Mr Wilson said his wife went a short distance ahead of him to look for a suitable route.
"I asked 'Is it OK? Is it safe?' and we said we would only go if we both agreed," he said.
Realising his wife had fallen, he climbed to a safer ledge and raised the alarm.
Mr Wilson was led to safety by members of the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team, who found his wife's body.
Det Con Tim Bird, the leader of the rescue team, told the inquest: "The change in route was an attempt to traverse the west face to avoid the summit.
"It would have been better to have retreated the way they had come or gone to the north ridge, but unfortunately they probably saw a footpath and joined up the dots."
The inquest was told Mrs Wilson was a fit and active woman and that she and her husband had been mountain walking and scrambling for six years.
The C$445 million (£221 million) fund was held up by Canadian Pacific, one of the companies involved in the incident.
On Friday, the settlement was approved by a judge in the US, where the deal is linked to the bankruptcy filing of another plaintiff.
In 2013, a train carrying 72 oil tankers derailed causing an explosion in downtown Lac Megantic, Quebec.
The settlement ends a lawsuit brought by the victims against two railways - Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railways (MMA) and Canadian Pacific - as well as insurance companies and a dozen other firms.
Canadian Pacific argued that they should not be included in the suit because the derailment involved MMA trains and happened on MMA-owned tracks.
However, the trains originated on Canadian Pacific tracks.
A judge in Quebec had ruled that Canadian Pacific failed to properly classify the highly volatile petrol being carried by the train at the beginning of its journey.
The crash caused an explosion and several fires which levelled the city's downtown, destroying 30 buildings.
Following the disaster the Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railways filed for bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy protection will shield them from further claims. But Canadian Pacific could face more lawsuits and potentially more pay-outs.

Few people passing have any idea that almost a century ago, for just a few months, the area echoed to the sounds of rudimentary aero engines and bustle of a busy Royal Air Force (RAF) airfield.
In 1918, the year of the Armistice and the end of World War One, Strathroy became the home of 105 Squadron, RAF.
They flew RE8 reconnaissance aircraft, biplanes, in which they patrolled across vast areas of Ireland.
Among the pilots was Capt George Bowen, who made his first test flight there on 19 May 1918, lasting 45 minutes.
A day later his log book records that he flew over "Omagh, Derry, Aldergrove, Dungannon" on what he called a "NE Patrol".
Many more patrols followed, taking him and his colleagues over most of the island.
The cover story was that the squadron was looking for German U-boat activity along the Irish coast.
But new research by the aviation historian Guy Warner has uncovered the real reason for their wide-ranging patrols over inland areas.
"The Irish Volunteers and Sinn Féin had seen an upsurge in their activity following the conscription crisis of 1918," he said.
"The Lord Lieutenant, Field Marshall French asked for a couple of RAF squadrons for reconnaissance duties, and also to harass Sinn Féin rallies by flying low over them."
It is unclear how effective these tactics were in the north of Ireland at that time.
When they were not flying it is clear that the officers and aircrew enjoyed quite a busy social life with local families.
There were group photographs during an open day and even an egg-and-spoon race for local ladies.
One shot shows a group of officers including the squadron commander Maj DG Joy with the Scott family, posing outside Strathroy House.
In another shot, Maj Joy is looking rather bemused as he sits on the back of a donkey.
The Omagh historian and author Dr Haldane Mitchell has researched the airfield for some years, and believes few locals would have known about the airfield but for a tragedy just after Armistice Day.
On 13 November 1918, two aircraft collided a few miles south of the town, and crashed to the ground killing two pilots and an observer, and badly injuring another passenger.
One of the pilots, a Canadian lieutenant called Lawrence Booth, was buried in Omagh with full military honours.
His grave can still be visited in the town's Dublin Road cemetery.
"I'm convinced that it was only the accident that brought the fact to light that there were planes flying in and out of Omagh," Mr Mitchell said.
In all two RAF squadrons were based there, 105 and 106, but within a few months the RAF had packed up and left, even taking the aircraft hangars with them.
Few passing today are aware of its past as a base, never mind the secret missions to observe republican gatherings in the last few months before the formation of the Irish Free State in 1922.
The unnamed man, in his 20s, was taken to Coventry Fire Station by his mother because he could not remove the hardened-steel shackle lock.
Firefighters could not cut the lock and called in West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service's Technical Rescue Unit
The station commander said the man was unhurt, "but his mother was raging".
Pete Drummond said: "We tried a cutter, but it just marked the lock. Then we tried a reinforced bar cutter, but it just dented it".
He said the man had been out drinking until the early hours and did not know when the lock was put round his neck.
"He woke up at about 16:00 BST and found his mates had put the lock round his neck and his mates had thrown away the keys," said Mr Drummond.
"His mum brought him in at about 19:30 BST. He really did have his tail between his legs".
The rescue unit covered the man with a fireproof blanket and cut through the steel with a circular saw.

Tanzania soccer federation president Jamal Malinzi had called for Zanzibar to be admitted.

The 24-year-old rider of a red Lexmoto motorbike suffered bruising as a result of the collision and his bike was damaged.
PC Lee Barnfather said: "It amazes me that the driver of the car failed to stop after the crash.
"We are keen to hear from anyone who might have witnessed this collision, or even the driver of the car if they wish to come forward to clear the matter up," he added.

But what does quantitative easing mean? And why is this taking place now? BBC News explains - in 70 seconds.
Video produced by Mohamed Madi and Tom Donkin.
The Scottish government announced initial investment of about £240,000 on the route last week.
It did not include a number of proposals which "fell outside the scope" of the current work programme.
The A7 Action Group said it had not given up hope of a Selkirk bypass at some time in the future.
Last year Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said he was "open minded" about the project and residents voted strongly in favour of the move.
A7 Action Group Secretary Marjorie McCreadie said that further talks were planned with Transport Scotland.
She added: "Although none of our big-ticket items are there at the moment, this is up for future discussion."
Ms McCreadie said small-scale efforts like cutting back vegetation could improve sightlines on the route.
However, she said she believed there was still a chance for bigger projects to take place.
"I think the main thing in this response from the minister is the willingness to keep the door open for further dialogue and we look forward to that very much," she explained.
A freedom of information request by the Liberal Democrats showed 254 primary teacher vacancies and 287 for secondary schools as of 9 August.
The Scottish government said the figures represented just over 1% of the total workforce.
The area with the highest vacancy rate was Aberdeen with 86 vacancies.
This was followed by the Borders at 47.
Liberal Democrat education spokesman Tavish Scott said teachers would be "dangerously overstretched" unless action was taken to address the shortages.
His party has called for a penny increase in income tax in order to raise money for education spending.
He said: "Thousands of pupils faced the prospect of going back to school without a dedicated class teacher in place.
"This can only increase pressure on other teachers and make life more difficult for those pupils who need the most support."
A Scottish government spokeswoman said ministers wanted the "right number of teachers with the right skills" .
She added: "Where there is an issue, this tends to be in specific areas where local factors, such as house prices, can be an important part of the problem.
"We are spending £88m this year to make sure every school has access to the right number of teachers."
The spokeswoman said that teacher vacancies arose across Scottish local authorities "continuously throughout the year".
She said in the time since the figures were compiled many of the vacancies would have been filled.
Ryan McKee, 25, is alleged to have "engaged in sexual activity" with the girls, who were 14 and 15 at the time.
Mr McKee, from Kinning Park in Glasgow, represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010.
He faces a total of six charges relating to a five-year period from March 2010 to August 2015. Mr McKee denies the charges.
He is due to stand trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court in August.
Court papers claim that in each of the charges he was "in the course of his employment as a gymnastics coach".
It is alleged he repeatedly kissed each of the girls.
In one of the charges, Mr McKee is accused of "coercing an older child" into looking at a sexual image and of "communicating indecently" with her by sending her naked pictures of him and requesting that she send him naked pictures of herself.
He is also charged with asking another girl to send a picture of her chest and asking the third girl if she wanted him to send her "sexual images" and asking for her to send the same to him. | If you want to improve your flexibility, energy and give yourself a body positive boost everyday this week, you've definitely come to the right place!

They say they were not included in negotiations to end the action over pay.
On Friday, state officials threatened to charge more than 700 police with rebellion.
The strike has left a security vacuum, causing a wave of violence that has reportedly left 137 people dead.
Wives and relatives of the officers have been blockading stations because Brazil's military police, who carry out street patrols, are barred by law from going on strike. They face two years in prison if convicted.
Brazil's Defence Minister, Raul Jungmann who was visiting the state, said 3,000 troops drafted in to deal with state security would stay for as long as was needed.
He appealed to the women protesters to allow the police to leave police stations.
"I ask these police wives to not lead your husbands, your partners into a trap. There is no alternative and these actions are not going to lead anywhere."
Similar protests were staged in Rio de Janeiro but most police personnel there did not stop patrols.
Brazil's President Michel Temer addressed the crisis for the first time on Friday calling the strike "illegal" and saying: "The right to protest cannot take the Brazilian people hostage."
The strike paralysed many parts of Espirito Santo with local officials closing schools, clinics and public transport, while shops and businesses remained shuttered.
By Saturday, buses which had stopped running because of concerns that they might be wrecked, had gradually started running again.
In Rio de Janeiro, which has been struggling to pay public sector salaries, family members of police officers organised similar strikes at several police stations but the protest did not stop police patrols in most areas.
Similar protests were attempted in the northern state of Para, in the capital, Belem.
Espirito Santo is one of several Brazilian states struggling with a budget crisis that is crippling public services.

However, Chibok campaigners say that while the girl in question was a pupil at the school, she was actually kidnapped from her home elsewhere.
This comes days after the first of the Chibok girls was freed.
The Islamist militant group has seized thousands of women and girls in northern Nigeria, rights groups say.
But it was the abduction of the girls from Chibok that gained international attention through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, which was supported by US First Lady Michelle Obama and Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai.
The army has made several mistakes in its statements about the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after the first girl was found on Wednesday, it used the wrong name.
It has claimed to have freed more than 100 of them before later backtracking.
In all, 218 girls remain missing since they were seized from Chibok secondary school in Borno state, north-eastern Nigeria, in April 2014.
The girl rescued earlier this week told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died but the rest were still in the Sambisa forest where she was found.
It would have been ideal for the Nigerian army to rescue two of the Chibok girls in three days - only it did not happen, despite the speed and enthusiasm with which the press statements were sent out.
The military has been trying to win over the public following heavy criticism it has received for its inability to bring back the schoolgirls. Such has been its focus that it has not capitalised on the work of its troops in rescuing thousands of Boko Haram captives.
In fact, army records show it freed 11,595 people between February and April this year. That has barely been publicised - although the abductions of those people also did not make headlines, unlike the schoolgirls whose disappearance raised concern around the world.
As important as the Chibok girls are, it appears their fate is being used as a measure of success in the fight against Boko Haram.
In a statement, army spokesman Col Sani Usman said the 97 women and girls had been found on Thursday in the Demboa area of Borno, during an operation in which 35 militants were killed.
"Among those rescued is a girl believed to be one of the Chibok Government Secondary School girls that were abducted on 14 April 2014," he said.
However, the BringBackOurGirls group said it had established that the rescued girl had been abducted from her home in Madagali, in neighbouring Adamawa state.
Earlier on Thursday, the first Chibok girl found was flown to the capital Abuja to meet President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr Buhari said he was delighted she was back and vowed to help her resume her education.
"But my feelings are tinged with deep sadness at the horrors the young girl has had to go through at such an early stage in her life," he added.
She was found by an army-backed vigilante group in the huge Sambisa Forest, close to the border with Cameroon, along with her four-month-old baby.
She was with a suspected member of Boko Haram who claimed to be her husband.

During the April 2014 attack, Boko Haram gunmen arrived in Chibok at night and raided the school dormitories, loading 276 girls on to trucks.
More than 50 managed to escape within hours, mostly by jumping off the lorries and running into roadside bushes, leaving 219 in the hand of Boko Haram.

Control rooms in Inverness and Aberdeen, originally scheduled for closure in 2015, will now transfer their work to Dundee later this year.
The original closure plan was halted after an Inspector of Constabulary investigation into the M9 crash.
John Yuill and Lamara Bell died after the crash near Stirling, which officers took three days to attend.
A statement from Police Scotland said the pace of change would be managed in a "safe and assured way" and closures will only be implemented when they are approved by the Scottish Police Authority.
A report from HM Inspector of Constabulary Scotland (HMICS) Derek Penman in December said Police Scotland had "stabilised" control room staffing, with a 7.5% increase in numbers.
Mr Penman told the Scottish parliament's justice sub-committee that staffing had settled in October 2015 at 1,563.
He called for assurances that staffing would not slip back when regional call centres are merged.
Inspectors found call centres were left understaffed in the drive to make savings through staff redundancies.
In January, total staff numbers in the contact, command and control centres stood at 1,450.
MSPs were told that staff numbers had increased month by month since January, reaching 1,563 in October.
The SPA said it was working closely with Police Scotland and HMICS to monitor the progress of recommendations from the review of call handling.
A spokesman added: "The SPA is committed to ensuring the workforce are kept up to date about the progress of key reform programmes.
"Engaging with staff manages expectations and allows them to plan and make informed decisions. In addition, no decisions to proceed to the next phase of the reform programme will be made without formal oversight and approval by the SPA."
The bodies, flown to an airbase in Borneo, bring to nine the total recovered. The funeral of one victim, a flight attendant, has been held.
However, bad weather has continued to hamper the search for wreckage.
The plane came down four days ago en route from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on board.
No survivors have been found.
Skies brightened over the search area on Thursday but rough seas, which slowed salvage efforts, returned within hours.
Ships and planes are scouring the Java Sea off Borneo. Malaysia, Australia and Thailand are helping Indonesia with the search, while the US destroyer USS Sampson has been sent to the zone.
Divers are hoping to investigate a large object sighted by a rescue pilot which it is thought could be part of the airliner.
Naval officer Siahala Alamsyah said that bad weather and high seas on Wednesday night prevented a team of about 50 Indonesian navy divers from flying out to warships at the scene of the disaster.
Search teams are hoping to locate the fuselage of the plane on the seabed and find the plane's "black box" recorders, which could provide clues about the cause of the crash.
"It's possible the bodies are in the fuselage," said search and rescue co-ordinator Sunarbowo Sand from his base in Pangkalan Bun on Borneo island - the closest town to the targeted area.
"It's a race now against time and weather."
Flight QZ8501, from Surabaya in Java to Singapore, disappeared on Sunday. Debris from the plane, an Airbus A320-200, was located in the sea on Tuesday.
There were 137 adult passengers, 17 children and one infant, along with two pilots and five crew, on the plane.
The majority of those on board were Indonesians.
Bodies are being flown on from Borneo to Surabaya where relatives, providing DNA samples, are waiting for them to be identified.
The only body identified so far is that of AirAsia flight attendant Hayati Lutfia Hamid. Her funeral has taken place in Surabaya.
Some investigators are reported to believe that the plane may have gone into an aerodynamic stall as the pilot climbed steeply to avoid a storm.
Officials quoted by the Reuters news agency say that the plane was travelling at 32,000ft (9,750m) when it requested to climb to 38,000ft to avoid bad weather.
When air traffic controllers consented to allow it to climb to 34,000ft a few minutes later, they got no reply.
A source quoted by Reuters said that radar data appeared to show that the aircraft's "unbelievably" steep climb may have been beyond the Airbus A320's limits.
"So far, the numbers taken by the radar are unbelievably high. This rate of climb is very high, too high. It appears to be beyond the performance envelope of the aircraft," the source said, while emphasising that more information was needed before a definitive conclusion could be reached.
Hundreds of people, including young children, turned out to a candlelit vigil in Surabaya on Wednesday evening.
All New Year's Eve celebrations in East Java province were cancelled.
In Jakarta, the capital, residents began new year festivities with a prayer for the victims. A number of other cities cancelled or scaled down their new year celebrations.
AirAsia previously had an excellent safety record and there were no fatal accidents involving its aircraft.
Officers were called to the address on Headcorn Road in Biddenden at 08:57 GMT, following concerns about the welfare of the man, who was aged in his 70s.
He was declared dead at the scene, Kent Police said.
Officers from Kent's serious crime unit have been to the scene. It is understood no-one has been arrested.
The 25-year-old centre will stay with the west Wales region until 2018 after signing at Parc y Scarlets last week.
That followed the Welsh Rugby Union withdrawing their offer when the regions "upped the ante" during talks.
"I would have preferred to have been on an NDC but things didn't quite work," Williams told BBC Wales Sport.
"But but the most important thing is that I'm staying with the Scarlets."
Williams has been on an NDC - which sees the WRU pay 60% of the wages - since March, but the union's controlling interest in the player will end in the summer of 2016.
Their offer was withdrawn amid an accusations of a bidding war for the player among Wales' regions.
WRU chairman Gareth Davies explained at the time: "some of the regions started upping the ante, as it were."
Williams is currently sidelined with a knee injury, but says he was flattered by the offers.
"It's great to have interest from other clubs, but I've said all along that I wanted to stay and they sorted it out in the end, so I'm happy everything has worked out," added Williams.
"Everything happened quite quickly.
"With the injury it was a little bit worrying, but I'm just happy everything's sorted so I can just focus on my rehab."
Williams is in his second season as Scarlets vice-captain, but has not played since Wales' 28-25 World Cup win over England at Twickenham.
"I'm on track, I don't want to push things too much. I want to make sure it's right first but I've given myself a goal of playing before the end of the season,"
"But if it's not right, I'll leave it."
Williams though is looking forward to next season and playing in midfield with Jonathan Davies who will return to Scarlets from Clermont Auvergne in the summer.
"Jon is a world class player and he's proven that in the last couple of years,"
"He'll be a massive player for us next year so I'm looking forward to playing with him again," added Williams.
The Scotland duo were among six late call-ups to ease the burden on Warren Gatland's Test squad in New Zealand.
The pair played a combined total of 15 minutes from the bench in two midweek games and will leave the camp this week ahead of the remaining two Tests.
"It might never happen again," said stand-off Russell. "So you take it and make the most of it."
The other four additions, all from Wales, did not feature at all, with Gatland admitting the controversy surrounding their presence influenced the decision not to bring them off the bench.
A host of former Lions criticised the selection of players on logistical grounds rather than on merit.
However, Russell and Dell have enjoyed the experience, despite missing out on the last Test of Scotland's summer tour, a defeat in Fiji, which followed wins over Italy and Australia.
"I'm definitely glad I came out here; you'd really regret not coming out here," said Glasgow Warriors' Russell, who featured for five minutes as a temporary replacement for Dan Biggar in Tuesday's 31-31 Hurricanes draw.
"We've only been here 10 days, it's been so quick.
"We were on such a high after the Australia game, then we were flown out and one thing rolls into the other.
"I guess in time it will sink in what it really means to play for the Lions, once we're back home and have a bit more time to think it through.
"For the boys who were picked after the Six Nations, they had all the build-up, but for us it was a very quick turnaround. So you just jump straight in and give it a go in a completely different environment.
"That's tough, but it's good fun, and it's been a good experience. It's a no-brainer that you come."
Edinburgh prop Dell played a 10-minute cameo in the Lions' 34-6 win over the Chiefs and said: "It's something you jump at and could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"Obviously it wasn't as much time as we would have liked, and we haven't been able to show what we're fully capable of, but it's still fantastic.
"You don't come over wanting to just fill numbers, we're professionals, and you come over wanting to prove and to show you deserve to be in this scenario.
"That's the bit of frustration, but we understand we came in with a role and a job to play, and we're more than happy to fill that job and be a part of it."
Highlands-based Neil Anderson set up the camera in a part of Strathspey in the Cairngorms.
He said: "I knew the cat used a path fairly regularly and seeing that snow was forecast I rigged up my camera trap.
"I went away for a couple of weeks so when I finally checked the camera it was a great surprise to come back to."
The wildcat was photographed on 13 January.
Mr Anderson, whose credits include commissions for the BBC's Springwatch wildlife programmes, also photographs wildlife in other parts of the world.
The Scottish wildcat is one of the world's most endangered animals.
Habitat loss and breeding with domestic and feral cats are factors behind a severe decline in the mammals.
His looping creations, Three Perpetual Chords, are set to be unveiled on Saturday in London's Dulwich Park.
The artwork was commissioned to replace a Barbara Hepworth sculpture stolen from the park in 2011.
The Hepworth, insured for £500,000, had been there since 1970. It is thought to have been taken by metal thieves.
The insurance money from the stolen bronze Two Forms (Divided Circle) was used to paid for - and insure - Shawcross's new work.
The much-in-demand artist, who at 37 is the youngest living member of the Royal Academy of Arts, told the BBC that the issue of theft had been on his mind when he was pitching his ideas to Southwark Council.
"It is something that everyone was very nervous about," he said. "They wanted there to be no incentive to steal it. Even stainless steel was, in their eyes, a bit too expensive, so it forced me to look at other materials."
So Shawcross created Three Perpetual Chords using cast iron - the material used in sewer pipes and manhole covers.
"It has a natural patina, and you couldn't break this up if you came in here with a sledgehammer," he said. "The piece would only be worth a few pounds in terms of its resale value as recycled metal."
There has been a spate of thefts of metal artworks in recent years as the price of certain metals has risen.
One of the most recent high profile cases involved the theft in 2012 of a Henry Moore sundial sculpture valued at up to £500,000 from the grounds of the Henry Moore Foundation in Much Hadham, Hertfordshire.
The distinctive bronze artwork was found after a televised appeal on Crimewatch, but not before it had been sold as scrap metal for £46. Two men were jailed.
Seven years earlier, a bronze statue worth £3m was stolen from the same museum - the sculptor's former home - and was never recovered.
In March this year, a five tonne copper and bronze sculpture was taken from the grounds of the Watts Gallery Estate in Guildford, Surrey. The contemporary water feature by artist William Pye was valued at over £60,000.
Fabienne Nicholas, of the Contemporary Art Society, which helped commission the Shawcross sculptures, thought there would be "an incredibly low risk" the new works would be stolen.
"Their scale make them very difficult to remove from the park and they are made out of one of the least valued metals. Even for the most enterprising metal thief it would cost them more to get the truck and crane to remove them than it would to melt them down."
Shawcross wants his three sculptures to become a focal point for visitors to the park. His aim was to create something opposite to "austere and monumental" civic sculptures.
"I can imagine people sitting in them playing their guitars or bongo drums or even having a picnic," he said. "I hope unexpected things will be done with them."
But, he hopes, that doesn't include them ending up in the hands of a scrap metal dealer.

The midfielder, 34, was sent home last week after a training ground row, with the ban announced after he attended an Ibrox meeting on Monday morning.
"I don't see a way back now," Ferguson told BBC Scotland.
"I'm disappointed because I was excited when he joined Rangers. I thought he would have been a great signing, but I don't think he'll play again."
A row with team-mate Andy Halliday in the wake of the derby loss to Celtic led to him being told to stay away from training last Tuesday.
Barton has made eight appearances for Rangers since joining as a free agent from Burnley in the summer on a two-year deal.
While the club would not be drawn on the matter, the former Newcastle United and Manchester City player apologised on Twitter but then gave a radio interview questioning his temporary banishment from training.
"Rangers would have known that Joey is an opinionated guy," said Clyde manager Ferguson, who played for Rangers between 1996-2003 and 2005-09.
"That's part and parcel of Joey Barton. First, he's a really good player; second, he likes to have his say.
"I played against Joey plenty of times and I got to know him when I was doing my A-licence course two years ago and found him an interesting, intelligent guy.
"But he was like that on the course. Even when the assessors were showing us things, there were things he wasn't too happy with."
Ferguson, 38, who also captained Scotland, said training ground disputes are a regular occurrence in football.
"Anyone will tell you it happens two or three times a week," he explained.
"The manager is the man at the club who makes the decisions and it's clear to me he's not happy with what Joey's done. I think Joey knows himself that he won't play for Rangers again.
"But I don't see why it takes four weeks [to resolve the situation]. It's not good for the players or the fans - they want to know what's going on."
Ferguson, who won five titles, five Scottish Cups and five League Cups at Rangers, twice lost the captaincy under a cloud, with manager Paul Le Guen claiming he was undermined by the midfielder in 2007, while ill-discipline on international duty led to him being stripped of his duties for club and country in 2009.
"In my day, there were plenty of arguments, plenty of fights," he said. "The further it got was into the dressing room and then it got sorted. That was it over and done with.
"I like people with a voice on the training ground.
"They got beat 5-1 by their arch rivals, so nobody is going to be happy. There's going to be a bit of ding-dong. I don't see that as a problem.
"I'd love to know what was said between Joey and Andy."
Mr Hickey has remained in Brazil after being arrested on suspicion of alleged illegal ticket touting at Rio 2016.
He has denied all allegations made against him.
He was released almost two weeks after his arrest in August but his passport was retained.
In November a judge in Brazil ruled that Mr Hickey was to be given back his passport and permitted to leave the country for medical reasons on payment of a €410,000 bond.
Last month, the OCI ruled out paying the bond for Mr Hickey.
ANOC said it made the temporary loan to Mr Hickey on humanitarian grounds.
The decision was unanimously approved by ANOC president Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, and all ANOC vice presidents, via a postal vote on 20 November.
The body said the payment was "made as a temporary loan so that Patrick Hickey could meet his bail requirements and return to Ireland where he can receive medical treatment for a heart condition.
"The terms of the temporary loan make it clear that it must be repaid to ANOC in full," it said in a statement.
"For legal reasons, all other terms and conditions surrounding this bail payment will remain confidential."
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Costo's rotisserie chicken salad has been linked to 19 cases of E. coli.
The agency said it was still not sure which ingredient was the cause of the outbreak.
Costco said it stopped selling the chicken salad on 20 November, when it was notified of the outbreak.
This particular strain of the disease can be life-threatening, but no deaths have been reported.
According to the CDC, five people have been taken to hospital and two have reported kidney failure.
Incidents of the outbreak have been reported in Montana, Utah, Colorado, California, Missouri, Virginia and Washington.
Officials this month linked an outbreak of E. coli to food served at branches of Mexican fast food chain Chipotle in Washington, Oregon, California, Ohio, New York and Minnesota.
About 10,000 strikers and 5,000 police officers clashed at the coking plant near Rotherham in June 1984.
Former miners' leader Arthur Scargill called for an inquiry on Wednesday.
Interim Chief Constable Dave Jones said the Hillsborough inquests highlighted the need to "explore the circumstances of such significant events".
He added it "brought into sharp focus" the importance of understanding and confronting the past.
What was the 'Battle of Orgreave'?
A redacted version of a report by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) into police conduct at Orgreave was published last year.
On Wednesday The Yorkshire Post reported the redacted sections proved the same senior officers were involved in both the aftermath of Orgreave and Hillsborough.
The IPCC previously said it was considering whether there were any remaining legal issues preventing full publication of its report.
The Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign (OTJC) group has called on Mr Jones to open up the force's archives on the clashes.
Secretary Barbara Jackson said it welcomed the "growing recognition of the need to resolve and investigate this piece of unfinished business and a running sore in former mining communities and beyond".
A Home Office spokesperson said: "The Home Secretary is considering a submission from OTJC on the need for an inquiry relating to events at Orgreave.
"She will set out the government's position in due course."
Thousands of picketers confronted huge lines of police outside the coke works at Orgreave.
Miners wanted to stop lorry loads of coke leaving for the steel works, as police attempted to hold them back.
In 2015, the police watchdog said the passage of time meant allegations of assault and misconduct at Orgreave "could not be pursued".
Mr Jones took temporary charge of the South Yorkshire force after David Crompton was suspended in the wake of the conclusion to the Hillsborough inquests.
Mr Crompton's initial replacement, deputy Dawn Copley, stood down after her appointment was criticised due to a misconduct investigation.
Mr Jones said: "The Hillsborough inquests have brought into sharp focus the need to understand and confront the past and give people the opportunity to explore the circumstances of such significant events.
"I would therefore welcome an appropriate independent assessment of Orgreave, accepting that the way in which this is delivered is a matter for the Home Secretary."
Lawyers for 22 families of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster said they would be asking Mr Jones whether he has invited an external team to carry out a "root and branch" investigation into the values of South Yorkshire Police, "including its conduct at Orgreave".
Draped in a maroon robe, serene-faced Ani Choying Drolma hardly looks like a pop icon - but her music videos show that she is as comfortable singing and performing as she is meditating with her prayer beads.
This is a woman who stands out from the crowd, a woman who by her own admission loves to do things "which nuns are not supposed to do".
She goes out with friends to watch Hindi films "like a regular person", and is not averse to the idea of kicking a football to inaugurate a charity tournament.
Choying has developed a unique style of chanting Tibetan hymns in which she lets the last notes linger for a long period before they ultimately melt into thin air.
She says that while she is not a trained musician in any technical sense, her singing comes from deep within.
"The voice I'm able to bring out to the world is [inspired by] my deep spiritual devotion and my faith in the wisdom of Lord Buddha," she says.
Like scores of other Tibetan refugees, her father came to Nepal in the 1950s. Campaigners say that at least 20,000 fled south across the Himalayas following the 1959 Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet.
Growing up in abject poverty in the refugee quarters of Kathmandu, Choying had a troubled childhood. She says her short-tempered father would beat her and her mother for no apparent reason.
She has recorded these traumas in her autobiography, Singing for Freedom, in which she narrates how she decided at an early age not to marry after witnessing her mother's suffering.
"My father was someone who exhibited some unpleasant qualities of men," she told the BBC.
"He made me feel that getting married would be the worst thing to do in life.
"Somehow he was able to... develop a lot of my negative qualities which led to a lot of anger, frustration and bitterness."
Choying says that when she told her mother about her decision not to marry she received an ultimatum - join a Buddhist monastery and become a nun or stay in the secular world and find a husband.
Desperate to break free, she decided to join a monastery near Kathmandu when she was barely 13 years old.
But she says even there she faced bias against women.
"In monasteries it is thought that women don't have the capability to development themselves spiritually," she said.
"There I would dream of going for higher studies and develop myself spiritually but it did not happen."
Because she could not complete her studies in the monastery she found solace in music - without realising her potential as a singer.
"Singing and dancing were things I enjoyed since childhood," she said, "while playing with my kid brother or cooking, washing or even when I was very sad, I would sing."
In the monastery she would meet a lot of devotees from abroad who encouraged her to find her voice.
One of the first music cassettes Choying received as a present made a lasting impact on her - it was by American blues singer and guitarist Bonnie Raitt who rapidly became Choying's favourite.
But the man who really identified Choying's potential as a singer was American guitarist Steve Tibbetts, who was a regular visitor to the monastery.
He introduced her to the international music scene. Her first exposure to a global audience came in 1998 when she travelled to the US to perform in various cities.
It was during one such tour that Choying noticed in the audience "a red-haired woman" who resembled her childhood idol Bonnie Raitt.
"I shrugged off the thought thinking why would a celebrity singer come to my concert," says Choying. But at the end of the concert, the "red-haired woman" walked up to her and said: "I am Bonnie Raitt and I am a big fan of yours."
It was a memorable moment.
"I looked at her in total bewilderment," Choying recalled, and said, 'are you kidding me, actually I am a big fan of yours!'"
"Then she introduced me to her musicians," Choying remembers with a glint in her eyes.
Since then Choying has travelled far and wide without losing sight of her lifelong aim to educate girls, especially from poorer backgrounds.
As the money started pouring in with the sale of her albums, in 2000 she founded Arya Tara school for novice nuns near Kathmandu.
Preparing to record her latest devotional hymns in an ordinary-looking studio, Choying says she is waiting for travel documents to go on a musical tour to China - a tough choice for someone born as a refugee to visit the country perceived as an oppressor.
But then Ani Choying Drolma has learnt to manage her anger through music and meditation. She says she has forgiven her father and everything else pales in comparison.
Detlef Meier, 63, of Maybole, South Ayrshire, had earlier admitted causing unnecessary suffering and failing to ensure the welfare of his animals.
He was sentenced at Ayr Sheriff Court following an investigation by animal welfare group the Scottish SPCA.
The charity said more than 20 of his cattle were found to be malnourished.
Inspectors who visited his property in January last year discovered one calf had died after becoming trapped in mud, the charity said.
Chief inspector Karl Knowles said: "This was a shocking case of severe neglect.
"Meier had failed to provide suitable nutrition and drinking water, adequate shelter from adverse weather, and a dry clean resting area and protection from the deep muddy hazardous environment he knew his animals were enclosed within.
"Upon inspecting the property, over 20 young cattle were identified as severely underweight due to inappropriate feeding methods, whilst another young calf had to be physically removed from a muddy bog area where it had become trapped and died.
"We are delighted the court has handed this sentence down, and hope Meier seriously considers his suitability to own and care for bovines in the future."
The alleged incident happened near Garrowhill Primary, in the city's east end, at about 09:00 on Monday.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said two men, aged 38 and 42, and a 36-year-old woman had been arrested.
The men are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court and the woman has been released on an undertaking to appear at a later date.
PC Glen Oliver set up the gym in Crawley, Sussex, with Daniel Bell, who was one of four men found guilty last year at a retrial in Crete of causing GBH to a former footballer.
The Met told the PC his business was not compatible with his police role.
Mr Oliver said he was given the choice to resign from the police or walk away from the profitable business.
He told BBC South East's Charlie Rose: "I don't agree with my employer's decision.
"I don't believe I've done anything wrong."
Mr Oliver said he had spent two and a half years building up the business and felt he had no choice but to leave the Metropolitan Police.
Robert Hughes, 35, was left brain-damaged after he was attacked in Malia in Crete in 2008.
The former Oxford United player was assaulted outside a nightclub. He was stabbed with a broken bottle, stamped on and left in a coma.
After his mother Maggie Hughes complained about the gym, the Metropolitan Police found no evidence of misconduct, but the IPCC ordered it to reinvestigate after she appealed.
Mrs Hughes said: "Glen Oliver has made his own decision to leave the Metropolitan Police.
"I'm not happy with that decision. My son was injured by the very person this officer went into business with."
Mr Oliver said he would leave the force at the end of the month.
Bell, from Horley in Surrey, along with the three other guilty men, also from Surrey, was given a three-year suspended jail term and told he was free to return to the UK.
NHS Shetland has decided to use NorthLink as its first choice of travel in an effort to save £1m.
It will mean a journey of 12 hours by ferry instead of a one-hour flight.
NHS Shetland said flights would still be available for those with a specific clinical need.
The health board voted six to four to introduce the changes in the coming months.
NHS Shetland chief executive Ralph Roberts said: "While this decision has been difficult, it reflects the commitment of the board to take the steps necessary for balancing our budget, while maximising the proportion of that budget we spend directly on clinical care.
"If we are to protect the quality of our local services, this is very important.
"In addition, we will continue to work hard to reduce the need for patients to travel at all by offering more local services, and by alternative approaches to appointments such as video clinics."
However Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair's chief executive said: "Loganair is very proud of the service that we have offered over many years to the NHS, and the developments on which we've worked with airports like Aberdeen to improve the patient travel experience.
"We are firmly of the view that the one-hour air service to Aberdeen is by far the best means of travel for patients who are able to fly.
"We can only assume that NHS has fully considered the clinical and welfare aspects of patients spending two consecutive nights on the ferry between Lerwick and Aberdeen in reaching this decision."
The unclassified Executive Office of the President network was attacked, according to the Washington Post.
US authorities are reported to be investigating the breach, which was reported to officials by an ally of the US, sources said.
White House officials believe the attack was state-sponsored but are not saying what - if any - data was taken.
In a statement to the AFP news agency, the White House said "some elements of the unclassified network" had been affected.
A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Washington Post: "In the course of assessing recent threats, we identified activity of concern on the unclassified EOP network.
"Any such activity is something we take very seriously. In this case, we took immediate measures to evaluate and mitigate the activity.
"Certainly, a variety of actors find our networks to be attractive targets and seek access to sensitive information. We are still assessing the activity of concern."
The source said the attack was consistent with a state-sponsored effort and Russia is thought by the US government to be one of the most likely threats.
"On a regular basis, there are bad actors out there who are attempting to achieve intrusions into our system," a second White House official told the Washington Post.
"This is a constant battle for the government and our sensitive government computer systems, so it's always a concern for us that individuals are trying to compromise systems and get access to our networks."
The Post quoted its sources as saying that the attack was discovered two-to-three weeks ago. Some White House staff were reportedly told to change their passwords and there was some disruption to network services.
In a statement given to Agence France-Presse, a White House official said the Executive Office of the President received daily alerts concerning numerous possible cyber threats.
In the course of addressing the breach, some White House users were temporarily disconnected from the network.
"Our computers and systems have not been damaged, though some elements of the unclassified network have been affected. The temporary outages and loss of connectivity for our users is solely the result of measures we have taken to defend our networks," the official said.
The US's National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Security Service were reportedly investigating.
Requests for comment were referred to the Department for Homeland Security, a spokesman for which was not immediately available. A White House spokesman has not responded to the BBC's request for comment.
As part of the £3m Environment Agency scheme, a 115ft (35m) section of the road was raised by about half a metre.
The agency apologised for any inconvenience during the "vital work".
When it closed on 8 June, the bridge had only been opened for three months following a £4m revamp which had put it out of action from August 2013.
The most recent impact of flooding in Port Clarence was in December 2013, when a tidal surge combined with high spring tides affected about 50 homes and businesses. .
Project Manager Chris Milburn said: "The road raising was a vital element of the overall scheme.
"We've completed that aspect of the work and the Transporter Bridge is now open.
"We worked hard to keep disruption to a minimum and would like to thank residents for their patience."
Eighty-six arrests have been made so far as part of the ongoing inquiry into events at Hampden stadium in Glasgow on the 21 May.
Thousands of Hibs fans invaded the pitch and some Rangers players were pushed and appeared to be punched.
A number of Rangers fans also came on to the pitch and rival fans clashed.
The disturbance followed Hibernian winning the Scottish Cup for the first time in 114 years.
The pitch invasion delayed the presentation of the trophy and there was no lap of honour for Hibs players.
Rangers players were not able to pick up their Cup Final medals.
Police Scotland said anyone with information about the identities of the people in the pictures should contact the incident room at Govan Police Office on 0141 532 5457.

Rex Tillerson, former boss of Exxon Mobil, recused himself from the matter in February, the State Department said.
TransCanada Corp has applied for a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, the State Department said.
It resubmitted its application in January after President Donald Trump restarted the project.
Rex Tillerson - the wild card diplomat
Keystone XL pipeline: Why is it so disputed?
"He has not worked on that matter at the Department of State, and will play no role in the deliberations or ultimate resolution of TransCanada's application," said a State Department letter sent to the environmental group Greenpeace on Thursday.
The State Department declined to say what prompted Mr Tillerson's decision, but Greenpeace had requested he recuse himself because his previous employer would benefit from the pipeline's construction.
Donald Trump's Cabinet of high-flying business executives and billionaires with far-flung financial interests continues to generate challenges for his new administration. Ethical concerns have repeatedly presented themselves during the Senate confirmation process - and those challenges are obviously not going away anytime soon.
The fact that Rex Tillerson made this recusal decision without informing the public is also curious. His relation with the media has been strained at best - mostly non-existent, in fact. He'll be heading to Asia next week without bringing any reporters along with him, representing a break with longstanding tradition.
Again we are reminded that this is a different kind of administration, full of many non-politicians who have a decidedly different way of handling the media.
Mr Tillerson was sworn in as secretary just a week after the president signed an executive order to move forward with the controversial pipeline's construction.
The project entails a planned 1,179-mile (1,897km) pipeline running from the oil sands of Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Nebraska, where it would join an existing pipe. It could carry 830,000 barrels of oil each day.
In response to the State Department, Greenpeace issued a new statement saying his recusal "might have never been transparent to the public without people flooding the lines of the Office of Government Ethics today".
"We must keep pushing this administration into the spotlight and demanding that ethics watchdogs hold these individuals accountable and make these decisions regarding rampant conflicts of interest transparent," it continued.
It remains unclear whether Mr Tillerson still owns stock in ExxonMobil.
But the secretary of state has said he would fully divest from the company by May to comply with federal ethics rules.
In State Department briefings earlier this week, acting spokesman Mark Toner said the secretary was "working with the Office of Government Ethics" on the issue.
We'd been waiting for that. What we did not expect was for him to shoot off across the next 200 metres like a sprinter. We ran behind him, stumbling on the uneven surface.
Mr Gupta darted towards an unmanned railway crossing and waving his red flag, quickly shut and locked the gate there. Then he turned towards the train and waved the green flag.
The train moved forward, passed the locked gate - and stopped again. Mr Gupta opened the gate and raced back to the driver's cabin, with us closely behind. He could do this up to 16 times over a distance of 68km (42 miles), on a one-way journey.
"It's what I do. I'm the mobile gatekeeper," he says.
Some 11,500 of the more than 30,000 railway crossings in India are unmanned. Nearly 40% of train-related accidents and two-thirds of deaths on railway tracks - usually happens when people are crossing them - take place at these unmanned crossings.
The railways' response has been to shut down as many unmanned crossings as it can rather than staff them with gatekeepers. Or to create 'mobile gatekeepers' like Mr Gupta to do the work of many.
We are travelling on the crowded Dhamtari passenger train in the central state of Chhattisgarh.
The slow narrow gauge train is better known as the "labour train" for it ferries hundreds of migrant workers from nearby villages to the state capital, Raipur, in search of work.
It's a nine-station journey from Dhamtari to Telibandha, the last narrow gauge stop in Raipur. Only two or three of some 19 railway gates on the route are manned.
"My job is to open and shut the gates. I enjoy my work," says Mr Gupta, who earns less than 20,000 rupees ($331; £205) a month.
"Earlier there used to be permanent gatekeepers for these crossings, but now I have been appointed as the mobile gatekeeper. I used to lay and maintain railway tracks, but I was promoted to this position two years ago."
In the early stations on the route, a "mobile gatekeeper" can board one of the rear coaches after seeing the train through at one of the railway gates.
With the train yet to fill up, he can sit comfortably. As the train nears Raipur, though, he hasn't a chance of squeezing in. So he has to run up to the driver's cabin and stand there till the next railway gate.
India's state-run railways runs more than 12,000 trains, carrying some 23 million passengers daily.
Venu P Nair of the National Railway Mazdoor Union (NRMU), a union of railway workers, says the railways have a sanctioned strength of 1.3 million employees, but nearly 200,000 posts are lying vacant and no hiring is taking place though the number of trains has increased as have stations, booking counters and rail tracks.
The "mobile" role Mr Gupta has been given is a way of keeping recruitment down, unions say.
Back on the seven-coach "labour train", there are probably twice the number of passengers against its capacity of 400 commuters. They are hanging on at the sides, back and even in the spaces between coaches.
"You should see the train by the time we near Raipur," says one worker. "Then it gets full up at the top as well."
The passengers are entertained by the sight of the two of us, with video cameras, chasing after Mr Gupta at each unmanned railway crossing.
"It's a film shooting," declares one, wedged between two compartments. "They're from Bollywood."
"So who's the hero?" yells his companion.
"Never mind the damn hero," shouts a third. "Show us the heroine."
But they talk to us patiently at the stations.
Every passenger is a work-seeking migrant from the scores of villages in the region where farming is in a shambles.
Why take the train, we ask? With this sort of crowding, you must be exhausted by the time you reach Raipur?
"The train ticket from Dhamtari to Raipur costs just 20 rupees. The bus fare for the same route costs more than three times that. Journeying both ways by bus could cost more than half of our daily wages," says a passenger.
"In the morning train," says engine driver Venugopal, "the maximum passengers are labourers. People from the interior villages board this train and go to Raipur for daily wage work and return in the evening train every day."
"It's very hard," says Rohit Nawrangey, at the Kendri station.
He is a labourer who does that journey every now and then, despite owning a tiny bicycle repair shop in Kendri village. "You can't make enough here to survive," he says.
Mr Gupta, however, is totally focused on his work, readying for the next gate.
"Open and shut," he says, smiling.

Bayern Munich fight back from two goals down to beat Juventus
Arsenal's season was looking good a couple of months ago. They were top of the Premier League on 4 January but two wins in nine league games since has seen them fall 11 points behind leaders Leicester, although they do have a game in hand on the Foxes.
They have also gone out of the FA Cup - losing against Watford last weekend - and suffered their sixth straight last-16 exit from the Champions League too, leaving their season in disarray.
Arsene Wenger's team selection for the match in Spain perhaps suggested he might have had one eye on Saturday's Premier League match at Everton.
The Frenchman, for example, gave 19-year-old forward Alex Iwobi his first Champions League start and left out Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott. Experienced defender Per Mertesacker was left on the bench, with Laurent Koscielny starting alongside Gabriel in the centre of defence.
Arsenal put in a creditable display away from home but Elneny's stunning goal on 51 minutes - a precise strike from 18 yards and his first for the club - was their only reward for a display that saw them create numerous promising attacking positions.
Iwobi blazed over the crossbar when in a good position and Alexis Sanchez should have found the back of the net with a header from eight yards.
The Chile international also had a free-kick saved as the Gunners fired in 20 shots, albeit with just three on target.
The difference over the two legs was the finishing and it was a cool, low shot by Neymar that opened the scoring for the hosts.
Former Liverpool man Suarez, who Arsenal attempted to sign in 2013, scored the pick of Barca's goals, the Uruguayan leaping acrobatically to convert Dani Alves's cross into the top corner for his 46th goal of an incredible season.
Suarez's hot run of form has seen him net 17 goals in his last 14 games and taken his tally to 40 for the season at the Nou Camp - how Arsenal could do with him in their side.
There was still time for Messi to get in on the act, delightfully dinking the ball over Ospina late on.
The win means Barcelona are into the last eight of the competition for a record ninth straight season. It also stretched Barcelona's unbeaten run to 38 games in all competitions as they aim to become the first team to retain the European Cup in the Champions League era.
No side has won back-to-back European Cups since AC Milan in 1989 and 1990.
The Catalans remain on course for consecutive trebles of Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey.
Luis Enrique's side sit eight points clear at the top of the Spanish league with nine matches remaining and meet Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final in May.
"Arsenal are only two players away from being a top side. A magnificent centre-forward who can get 25+ goals and a world-class centre-back.
"They have enough midfield players. They have £150m-£200m in the bank but only need to bring in two more players.
"Going forward, Arsenal have looked good but defensively they have looked fragile, that has been the case for years. Sol Campbell, Martin Keown and Ashley Cole have never been replaced."
Barcelona face Villarreal in the league on Sunday (kick-off 15:00 GMT), while Arsenal will look to salvage their season with a trip to Goodison Park to face Everton on Saturday (12:45 GMT).
Before then Barca will discover who they will play in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they draw takes place on Friday in Nyon, Switzerland.
The bridge crumbled on to the line at Barrow upon Soar in Leicestershire, causing disruption on Tuesday.
Services between London and Nottingham, Leicester, Derby and Sheffield resumed early on Wednesday morning with smaller stations added in the afternoon.
Network Rail said it was investigating the cause of the collapse.
The road bridge collapsed late on Monday night, reportedly moments after workmen were seen drilling in the road.
Trains between the region and the capital were cancelled or limited throughout Tuesday.
But at 5:00 BST, two of the four lines through the Leicestershire village reopened, enabling most rail services to start running again with all four opening from about 11:00.
Paul McKeown, investment director for Network Rail, said an investigation was under way.
"Our team was carrying out investigation work following reports of dips in the road at Grove Lane bridge when the parapet wall partially collapsed," he said.
"Our engineers have worked around the clock to make the area safe, remove debris and repair the tracks below."
Bill Harvey, from the Institution of Structural Engineers, said it was probably a combination of factors that had "caused trouble."
"It looks as though over recent months or years there's been water leaking from the main - Severn Trent don't think that's the case, but the hollows from the footpath shown in the photographs that I've seen look like that to me.
"So, water would have been washing down... That may then have caused the thing to be that little bit more fragile when they started with a digger - and away it went."
He added the section of wall that collapsed looked like it had been replaced in the past, potentially weakening the structure and "over it goes... eventually".
Network Rail confirmed all four tracks are now open and East Midlands Trains said it is gradually introducing its full timetable again.
Passengers are still warned to check their trains before travelling.
The Canadian singer could be fined after pictures appeared in local media to show him painting a wall.
Defacing buildings is a crime in Brazil punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine.
However officials described the case involving Justin Bieber as "a minor offence". There was no immediate comment from his management team.
In a statement, Brazil's civil police force said Justin Bieber had been charged with "defacing a building or urban monument by graffiti or other means".
Brazilian media reported and published photos appearing to show the 19-year-old singer spraying graffiti on the wall of the abandoned Hotel Nacional.
The pictures showed him wearing a red cap and army pants - with a security guard on one side, a police car parked on the other.
It emerged that Bieber had authorisation from the City Hall to paint at a sports facility nearby, but members of his entourage claim he chose a different location to avoid his fans.
Police argued the consent did not extend to any other places.
This closes a trip in which the teenage idol has been accused of swearing at photographers, was seen leaving a seedy night club and was kicked out of Rio's most prestigious hotel, the BBC's Julia Caneiro in Rio says.
According to the Globo TV network, Bieber flew out of Brazil on Wednesday afternoon on a private jet and went to Paraguay, where he was scheduled to perform.
It is not the first time Justin Bieber has been involved in controversy this year. In March, he said sorry to fans for a late start at a concert in London.
In April, he caused outrage with his message in a guestbook at the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam, saying he hoped the Holocaust victim would have been a fan - "a belieber".
Frank's diary, written during the two years the teenager and her family hid from the Nazis in occupied Amsterdam, made her a symbol of the suffering of Jews during World War II.
And in July, Bieber was criticised for touching the biggest trophy in North American ice hockey, the Stanley Cup.

Eyewitness Luke Alexander said the 20m (66ft) electric unit became "wedged" against a traffic light in Crystal Palace, south London.
Mr Alexander, who works near the junction, said he had been alerted by a "commotion" outside at about 20:20 GMT.
The lorry was freed after 30 minutes to applause from onlookers, he said.
Traffic on the junction between Gipsy Hill, Westow Hill, Westow Street and Central Hill had been blocked while the rail carriage was stuck.
Mr Alexander described the junction as "a pretty tight squeeze".
But he said onlookers took the delay in "good spirit" and broke into "huge applause" when the lorry finally managed to turn the corner.
"Everyone was finding it the most hilarious thing - including the truck drivers themselves who were trying to negotiate it through the crossroads," he said.
The 25-year-old said it was impossible not to see the "complete irony" of the situation - referring to continuing industrial action on the rail firm's routes.
Commuters have faced delays during a number of strikes as part of an ongoing dispute between unions and parent company Govia Thameslink Railway.
Mike Hopkins, 56, who returned home safely on Saturday, had reached Camp 1 when the 7.8 magnitude tremor struck.
It sparked a devastating avalanche on a section of the mountain he had been due to climb.
"A day in a different place and it could have been us, sometimes that's how luck goes" he said.
Mr Hopkins was with with a group of nine other climbers and Sherpas on the north side of Everest.
Describing the moment the earthquake hit, he said: "We were all sitting in the tent and all of a sudden the whole thing was moving.
"It was a weird sensation, I have never come across anything like it in my life.
"We were told to evacuate and as we were evacuating we were coming down the mountain getting aftershocks.
"Big rocks were coming down either side of us. We had to keep moving really, really quick."
The death toll has risen to over 7,000 since the earthquake and the Nepalese authorities have ruled out finding more survivors.
The cool spring and damp summer were offset by a very mild end to the year.
Across the UK, 2015 featured in the top 10 wettest years since records began in 1910.
January was unsettled and often windy with some stormy days. On 15 January, a man was killed by a falling tree in County Antrim.
However, there were some cold, sunny days in the second half of the month with hill snow and sharp overnight frosts.
Temperatures and rainfall were average, but sunshine was above average.
February was a month of two halves - the first half was cold, but often dry with crisp sunshine. Overnight temperatures dropped to -9C at Katesbridge.
Late February brought rain, strong winds and some wintry showers.
March was a month of wide-ranging temperatures as is often the case in early spring, when the days start to stretch and the sun gains strength.
Katesbridge dropped to -5.6C on the night of 19 March and Murlough, which is not a million miles away, rose to 15.7C on 28 March.
There was a partial solar eclipse on 20 March. It was the sixth sunniest March since 1929.
April saw temperatures break the 20C barrier at Castlederg but nights were frosty.
Daytime temperatures were a little above average, but nights were cold with some late frosts.
May was unsettled and cool, with heavy rain at times and strong winds on several days. A deluge of rain fell in the Mournes in early May.
It was disappointingly cold for the last month of spring with very few days recording temperatures of 20C, and it was the coldest May since 1996 with temperatures.
June began cool, wet and windy, but the weather was looking up by the end of the month.
Disappointingly, after a warm start to July, the month turned dull, cool and wet with westerly winds. There were brief drier spells - notably when the tall ships were in town.
It was unusually windy at times with gusts to over 50mph in Castlederg.
August was cool, wet and windy at times. There were some warm, sunny days but the second half of the month was particularly wet. Temperatures and sunshine were slightly below average and rainfall was 120% of the long-term average.
September was much drier and sunnier, but it was still cool due to northerly winds. Sunshine was 115% of average, making it, provisionally, the sunniest September since 1997.
October was warm, dry and sunny as well. Day-time temperatures were above average - the highest temperature for the month was 19.8C at Peatlands in County Armagh. Rainfall was well below the average at just 59% and sunshine was up at 120%
November was notably unsettled across the UK and Ireland as the season's first three named storms Abigail, Barney and Clodagh moved in from the Atlantic. The month began dry, sunny and very mild but with foggy mornings. It soon turned cloudy and increasingly unsettled. The rest of the month was changeable, wet and often very windy, with south-westerly winds. The first snow fell on high ground in the Mournes.
Storm Abigail brought gusts close to 60mph in the Antrim Glens and there was flooding, particularly at Lough Navar, County Fermanagh. The month ended with Storm Clodagh.
It was the fourth wettest November since 1910 and the dullest November since 2007.
December continued the wet, windy, mild and often stormy weather theme and we were greeted by storms Desmond, Eva and Frank.
There was snow at Lough Navar in Fermanagh on 12 December and night-time frosts as temperatures fell to -3C.
Flooding affected several counties, many roads were temporarily closed due to fallen trees or flooding and several homes were without power at one point.
Parts of Fermanagh, Armagh and Down had record-breaking rainfall amounts for the month of December, particularly Derrylin in Fermanagh where about two and a half times the average amount of rain fell and there was significant flooding around Lough Erne.
The Aurora Borealis made a spectacular show to end the year on 31 December. Who needs fireworks?
Forty-eight people had to be rescued from the 14-loop ride, called The Smiler, on Sunday.
A spokesperson from the amusement park said a small piece of debris had allegedly fallen from the track.
"The health and safety of our guests is our primary concern [and] the ride will remain closed whilst the resort's technical team investigate," they said.
Staff are working to reopen the ride as soon as possible.
The Smiler - which includes a drop of 30m (98ft) - opened in May.
Having carded 68s in her first two rounds, Lee went one better to move to 13 under in California.
Hur made a 67-foot putt on hole 18 to card a 66 and move to -12, two shots ahead of compatriot Chun In-gee and Cristie Kerr.
The American, who led at halfway, had a 71 that ended with a bogey on 18.
"I like my position,'' said Kerr, who won this tournament in 2015. "Honestly, I didn't hit it that great today. I scrambled a lot.
"That last pin was really difficult. It was kind of hard to judge the speed through the shadows, and I didn't do a very good job.
"I'm going to go work with my coach and try to hit it a little better tomorrow and give myself more opportunities to make birdies."
Kerr has two fellow Americans a shot behind her on the leaderboard in Brittany Lincicome and Austin Ernst, along with France's Karine Icher.
Hurr, whose only bogey was on the par-three 11th, said: "That was a huge, long putt. That helps a lot, the last putt. It put me in second place. I'm getting excited to be playing tomorrow.'
"I just want to stay positive and still be patient for those greens."

Second biggest faller was fellow cigarette producer Imperial Brands, down 3.79%.
British Airways owner IAG had a turbulent day, and closed 0.08% lower. The airline group reported a strong rise in half-year profits, despite being hit by costs related to BA's computer failure in May.
Barclays shares also went into reverse as investors digested its half-year results, dropping 1.68%. Costs related to the sale of part of its Africa business pushed it into a loss, but once these were stripped out pre-tax profits were up 13%.
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.1% against the dollar to $1.3076 and fell 0.2% against the euro to 1.1171 euros.
The firm's billionaire founder Michael Dell now looks set to win shareholder backing for his drawn-out $24.8bn (£15.7bn) buyout of the PC company.
In a letter to shareholders, Mr Icahn said "it would be almost impossible to win" a vote on the takeover.
Mr Icahn had argued the bid by Mr Dell and private equity firm Silver Lake undervalued the company.
In the letter he blamed delays in the vote, which had been postponed twice, and was highly critical of the board.
"The Dell board, like so many boards in this country, reminds me of Clark Gable's last words in "Gone with the Wind," they simply "don't give a damn", Mr Icahn wrote.
The PC maker has been under pressure as consumers shift away from traditional computers. Mr Dell has pledged to shift the business away from PCs into mobile devices and business software.
His bid to take his company private includes an offer of $13.75 per share plus a 13-cent dividend.
Under Mr Dell's plan shareholders will be bought out and the company removed from the stock exchange.
He argues that it will be easier to reinvigorate Dell without the pressure of shareholder scrutiny.
He took charge of the 2015 Scottish League Cup final between Celtic and Dundee United.

Joshua Williams, 18, was part of a group which attacked Alan Cartwright as he "innocently" rode along Caledonian Road, in Islington, on 27 February.
Williams, who had denied murder, lashed out at Alan, delivering a single stab wound, the Old Bailey heard.
He had claimed to be at a youth club at the time of the attack, but jurors rejected his explanation.
Williams, of Holloway Road, north London, was convicted of murder and conspiracy to rob.
During trial, it emerged he had been on police bail on suspicion of possessing a 4in (10cm) lock knife, although he was never charged.
He will be sentenced on Friday alongside Shaquille Roberts ,18, and a 16-year-old who previously admitted the bicycle robbery.
Alan was cycling with five friends on the evening of the attack when the trio intercepted them, the court heard.
They stepped out in front of the cyclists and managed to take two bikes, before Williams approached Alan and swung a knife at his chest in a "deliberate and gratuitous" stabbing.
Alan managed to cycle on for a short distance before collapsing. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Williams was identified in a YouTube comment on CCTV footage after police posted it online, jurors heard.
On 4 March, he went to Islington police station with his parents to hand himself in, the prosecution told the court.
His mother told a police officer it was about the incident in Caledonian Road, saying: "Yes, he's involved, he did it."
Alan Cartwright's family has called for more police stop and searches and tougher sentences to deter young people from possessing knives.
Sister Cherrie Ives, 22, said: "Now we have gone through it, we have noticed there is a lot more knife crime. It's all down to stop and searches. There should be more."
Alan's father, Alan Cartwright senior, 44, and his mother Michelle Watson, 40, said: "Alan was just a normal 15-year-old boy - loved his bikes, his family, being out with his friends. He was just a funny little kid, at the end of the day."
His sister added: "He was amazing, honestly. I know everybody says their little brothers are little rats.
"We wouldn't change him for the world. The best brother."
Ms Watson said the effect of his death had been "devastating" for the family.
She said: "Life without Al is killing me as his mum.
"He was our loving boy - our only son."
However, during his defence, Williams claimed he was at a youth club and only went to the police station to deny his involvement, a claim his parents and brother backed up in their evidence.
But prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC told jurors Williams' alibi was in tatters and his family had "decided to abandon their principles to support him in his lies to the court".
Jurors took three hours to find him guilty.
Det Ch Insp Chris Jones, from the Met Police, said Alan "was not in the 'wrong place at the wrong time', but had crossed paths with Williams, who was armed with a knife and "clearly thought nothing of using it".
Alan was killed close to the spot where 16-year-old Ben Kinsella was stabbed to death eight years ago, which prompted a high-profile anti-knife campaign led by his sister, EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella. | The Nigerian army says it has freed 97 women and girls from Boko Haram, including one of the more than 200 girls abducted from Chibok school.

Officials did not give details of the judgement, but hinted at a conviction.
A judiciary official said late on Sunday that the verdict could be appealed, suggesting Mr Rezaian had been found guilty.
Jason Rezaian, 39, has been detained in Iran for more than a year. The Post has dismissed the charges as absurd.
Appearing on state TV on Sunday, judiciary spokesman Gholamhoseyn Mohseni-Ezhei said: "He [Jason Rezaian] has been convicted, but I don't have the verdict's details."
He added: "The time for an appeal is not yet over. So the court waits and if it doesn't receive an appeal... the verdict becomes final."
Mr Mohseni-Ezhei said Mr Rezaian and his lawyer were eligible to appeal the conviction within 20 days.
The Washington Post foreign editor, Douglas Jehl, called the ruling "vague" and said it was unclear if Mr Rezaian had been sentenced.
"We've now heard from the Iranian government today's [Sunday] announcement that a verdict has been issued in Jason's case, but that it's not final and that it's subject to appeal.
"That's really all we know, and unfortunately it reflects a continued pattern of mystery, opacity and gamesmanship surrounding the way Iran has handled this case.
"The only thing that's been clear from the beginning is Jason's innocence. Everything else has been under a real shadow of darkness."
Mr Rezaian faces 10 to 20 years in prison.
Mr Rezaian, his wife, who is also a journalist, and two photojournalists were arrested in July 2014 in Iran. Mr Rezaian was the only one of the group not to be released.
The Post's Tehran bureau chief since 2012, he was charged with espionage and distributing propaganda against the Islamic Republic.
He is a dual Iranian-American citizen and was tried in four hearings behind closed doors, the last of which was held in August.
Tom Bradby described in a series of tweets how he dived in after the man but "couldn't get him out".
The father-of-three, who was in Rafina on a family holiday, said he believed the man had committed suicide.
The Rafina Port Authority in Greece confirmed a man had died after his car went off the wall.
A spokeswoman said the incident happened at about 16:30 local time, but would give no further details.
Mr Bradby, who is ITV's political editor, said he was "shaking with shock and anger" after complaining that officials nearby did not do more to help.
He claimed that of the nine or 10 officials on the quay, one went in to try to get the driver out as the car sank, and "the rest watched".
Bradby, 48, has been announced as the new host of ITV's News at Ten.
He was previously a royal correspondent, and secured the first official interview with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their engagement.
Simon Kirby will take up the role of chief operating officer, reporting to chief executive Warren East.
Mr Kirby has earned a reported £750,000 salary at HS2, which will link London with the Midlands and northern England.
He said it had been a "huge honour" to work on the project, which critics say threatens swathes of countryside.
HS2 Ltd said it would miss Mr Kirby's "experience and leadership", while Rolls-Royce boss Mr East said the appointment would "strengthen management capability ahead of a period of significant expansion".
But Stop HS2 campaign manager Joe Rukin accused Mr Kirby of "getting out before the true scale of the mess he has presided over is realised".
"The departure of Simon Kirby will be a serious blow to those who champion HS2, though many of us are at a complete loss to see just exactly what it is he has done to justify his three-quarter of a million pay packet."
The first part of the HS2 project will link London and the West Midlands, carrying 400m-long (1,300ft) trains with up to 1,100 seats per train.
They will operate at speeds of up to 250mph - and would travel up to 14 times per hour in each direction.
This will be followed by a V-shaped second phase taking services from Birmingham to Manchester and Leeds.
Intermediate stations in the East Midlands and South Yorkshire are also planned.
They are the first team sports to be selected for a place at the Gold Coast.
The netball team retained eighth in the world rankings to book their spot alongside 11 other teams, while the rugby 7s side qualified in this year's World Rugby Sevens Series.
The women's rugby 7s team have also qualified after finishing fifth at the Kazan Sevens but are not yet confirmed.
"We look forward to announcing other Welsh team sports over the coming months as they qualify for Gold Coast," said Helen Phillips, chair of the Commonwealth Games Wales Board.
"Qualifying for the Gold Coast Games is down to the hard work and dedication of the players, their coaches and support staff at Welsh Netball and the Welsh Rugby Union."
Wales will send a team of around 150 athletes to the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia which will be held between 4-15 April.
Their target is to bring back more than 25 medals - the number they won in Auckland 1990, their best haul from a game outside the UK.
Team sports, weightlifting and para-sports places are determined by rankings, but under a new Commonwealth Games Federation policy individual athletes across other sports will be nominated by national governing bodies based on eligibility and performance criteria.
Emtelle Group, which has plants in Hawick and Jedburgh, makes plastic piping which encases underground fibre cables.
After working with BT for more than 30 years, it has secured a four-year contract extension.
Emtelle said the move would allow it to invest £10m in its sites in the Borders, which support about 300 jobs.
BT said the company had provided it with more than 50 million metres of duct, sub-duct and blown fibre in 2014.
It is a key supplier in BT's roll-out of high-speed fibre broadband across the UK.
Mads A Hogfeldt, chief executive of Emtelle Group, said: "Today is an exciting day for Emtelle. This reinforcement of our long-term relationship with BT will help us continue to grow our business and provide quality employment for more than 800 people, including 300 at our two manufacturing plants in Scotland.
"The relationship we have developed with BT over 30 years has provided a very stable platform for us to make long-term investments, drive down costs and develop business in key areas such as export to overseas markets.
"We are very proud to be helping Openreach to deliver one of the most significant civil engineering projects in Europe, creating a huge, high-speed digital platform for Scotland and the UK which will benefit generations to come."
The two Welsh New Year's Day derbies are on Sunday as will Newport Gwent Dragons v Edinburgh on 27 November, the day after Wales' South Africa Test.
The move is because Welsh language channel S4C is moving the majority of its live games to a Saturday night.
Ospreys host Zebre in Scrum V Live's opening game of the season on 2 September while Dragons are at Ulster.
Scarlets host Munster the following day with Cardiff Blues welcoming Edinburgh on Y Clwb Rygbi on S4C.
There will also be one additional Sunday game on 27 November, when the Dragons face Edinburgh live on S4C to avoid a clash with the Wales v South Africa Test, as well clashes on New Years Day.
Welsh regional fans must wait until October to see the first derbies of the campaign.
Ospreys v Blues on 7 October is the first, before Scarlets entertain Dragons the following day.
Dragons visit Cardiff Blues on Boxing Day, while Ospreys welcome Scarlets a day later.
On New Year's Day, Scarlets are at home against Blues with Ospreys heading to Rodney Parade to play the Dragons.
Judgement Day, in which the four Welsh teams play at Principality Stadium in Cardiff is on Saturday, 15 April when Blues meet Ospreys and Dragons face Scarlets.
The regular season will culminate on Saturday, 6 May with all six games kicking off at 17:15 BST.
Play-off semi-finals take place on the weekend of 19-21 May with the final scheduled for the following weekend.
Scarlets finished fifth last season, the highest ranking of Wales' teams, to claim a place in the European Champions Cup.
Blues were seventh, Ospreys eighth and Dragons 10th in 2015-16 and they will all play in the second-tier European Challenge Cup in the coming term.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre said children were being "abused to order".
Offenders targeted vulnerable families overseas, paying them to facilitate child abuse, according to its report.
Ceop said those carrying out abuse used a "hidden internet" to disguise their identity and avoid detection.
The report found the number of still and moving child abuse images reported to Ceop had doubled in the last year to 70,000 - although this includes a "substantial" number of duplicated images.
The child protection body - part of Home Office's Serious Organised Crime Agency - said it received 8,000 reports of indecent images of children being shared last year.
It said live streaming emerged in 2012 as a means of producing and distributing images.
"We're seeing cases where they're effectively being abused to order for paying customers," chief executive Peter Davies told the BBC.
He said some of those exploiting children via the internet were in the UK, adding: "At every level an absolutely appalling kind of crime."
Children were forced to engage in sexual activity on live webcams in exchange for payment to the family or organised crime gangs, according to Ceop's annual threat assessment of child exploitation and abuse .
Online video services such as Skype were identified as among those being exploited to transmit live images of abuse.
When information moves online, each computer's individual IP address is widely logged, potentially giving police a start in any investigation.
But some in the industry say tech-savvy paedophiles have turned to networks specifically designed to conceal the identity and location of their users.
Using a variety of technological tricks, so-called "dark nets" - Tor, I2P, Freenet and many others - hide the giveaway identifiers while allowing people to go on using the web.
Drugs, guns and credit card skimmers are openly on sale on these networks.
They are places where paedophiles, criminal hackers and professional thieves advertise their services.
However some see the hidden web as a force for good because it is used to avoid detection in many places where political protests are harshly suppressed.
Do dark networks aid cyberthieves and abusers?
Ceop said many abusers were hiding their actions deep in the "hidden internet" by using encrypted networks and other secure methods to distribute images. These methods made it harder for law enforcement agencies to trace abusers.
"The use of the hidden internet in the UK and beyond is expected to continue increasing throughout 2013, possibly reaching 20,000 daily UK users by the end of the year," said the report.
"Ceop assesses that the networking and sense of 'safe' community that occurs within the hidden internet and the relative sophistication of offenders within that environment stimulates the production of [indecent images of children] on both a commercial and non-commercial basis."
An NSPCC spokeswoman said evidence from police in England and Wales indicated there were 20,000 sexual offences against children every year.
"However, we believe this is far from the true situation as many cases are never revealed," said the spokesman.
Independent charity Victim Support, meanwhile, said the police service must "ask itself some searching questions".
"Its first priority is to prevent and detect crime," chief executive Javed Khan said.
There were "inconsistencies in the way forces collect, record and categorise child sex abuse offences", he added.
"It is essential that every dot is joined up if the most vulnerable in our society are to be protected.
"Every police force must therefore contribute fully and consistently to the national intelligence picture - only then will we have a true picture of the scale of the problem."
Policing and Criminal Justice Minister Damian Green said: "These figures are deeply troubling and show how our understanding of child sexual exploitation has greatly improved in recent years.
"But more needs to be done. Ceop is doing excellent work and we will see its capability strengthened when it is transferred to the National Crime Agency later this year.
"I am leading a new Home Office group which is urgently looking at how we better identify those at risk."
An estimated 50,000 UK web users are involved in distributing abuse images.
Joshua Nott, 23, has been branded a hypocrite on social media for accepting the £40,000 ($49,925) scholarship.
Mr Nott was a key figure in the Rhodes Must Fall movement at the University of Cape Town.
The campaigners called the British mining magnate a backward-looking symbol of racist colonialism.
Following a Twitter outcry in Spring 2015, they succeeded in their bid to have the Cape Town statue removed.
Students at Oxford University then mounted an unsuccessful campaign to remove a Rhodes statue at Oriel College, where the businessman was educated.
Oriel resisted the pressure after a consultation showed "overwhelming" support for keeping it.
Mr Nott, who compared the Cape Town statue to "a swastika in Jerusalem", will now receive tens of thousands from Rhodes' legacy.
The activist, who is the son of a wealthy South African lawyer, has been widely condemned on social media and accused of selling out.
While some branded him an "arrogant hypocrite", others questioned whether poorer South Africans might not be more deserving of a £40,000 scholarship.
But Mr Nott has said he will "never toast Cecil John Rhodes" and will use the opportunity to fight against the ideals that Rhodes represented.
He does not plan to participate in the anti-Rhodes movement while at Oxford.
The Rhodes Trust has defended its choice of candidate, praising Mr Nott's commitment to social justice.
A spokesman said: "We pick young people of enormous ability without regard to any particular political affiliation … Mr Nott has been involved in a wide range of social change initiatives. He made this clear."
Rhodes was a revered figure in the days of the British Empire, but some now view him as an imperialist who profited from South Africa's resources at the expense of the local people.
He believed that the English were naturally superior, and was once quoted as saying: "I contend that we are the first race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race."
His sizeable trust was established at Oxford over a century ago to fund postgraduate awards for non-British students.
Previous Rhodes scholars include former US President Bill Clinton, former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, the astronomer Edwin Hubble, and country singer Kris Kristofferson.
Almost 8,000 Rhodes scholars have graduated from Oxford since the scheme was established in 1902.
About 2,000 people turned out in Delhi. Protests were also being held in 15 other cities as well as in London, protest organiser Saba Dewan said.
The campaign, #NotInMyName, started with a Facebook post she wrote after a Muslim teenager was killed last week.
Many Hindus consider the cow a sacred animal.
Wednesday's protests come amid reports that a Muslim dairy farmer in Jharkhand state was assaulted and his house was set on fire after the carcass of a cow was found at his door on Tuesday afternoon.
Cow slaughter is banned in several Indian states and those found violating the law can be jailed for up to 10 years. Parliament is also considering a bill to bring in the death penalty for the crime.
But ever since the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in the summer of 2014, vigilante cow protection groups have been emboldened and there have been numerous attacks on Muslims and Dalits, for whom beef is a staple.
Nearly a dozen people have been killed in these attacks over the past two years. Targets are often picked based on unsubstantiated rumours and Muslims have been attacked for even transporting cows for milk.
Crowds gathered at Jantar Mantar, a historical Delhi monument and popular venue for protests.
Many of the 2,000 present held posters and banners saying #NotInMyName. Others wondered if it is so easy to divide Indians on the basis of religion. On the stage, poets recited verses, and musicians sang songs of protest.
Organiser Saba Dewan demanded that Indian citizens be protected, saying the right to life is non-negotiable. One young woman told me the murders were not how she wished to remember her country.
The protest organisers have alleged that the family of Junaid Khan, the 16-year-old Muslim boy brutally killed by a Hindu mob on a train last week, had not been able to attend because they were intimidated by the authorities.
Protests under the banner #NotInMyName are being organised in 16 Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Lucknow and Allahabad as well as in London on Wednesday. Gatherings are also planned for later in the week in Toronto, Boston and Karachi.
The protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar monument was expected to be the biggest, Ms Dewan said.
The documentary filmmaker said she was "shattered" when she heard about last Thursday's attack on 16-year-old Junaid Khan, who was killed by a mob of about 20 men on a train in the northern state of Haryana while returning home from Eid shopping in Delhi.
Her anguished Facebook post has managed to galvanise a large number of Indians, with thousands pledging to participate in the protests.
"The protest is against this systematic violence against Muslims and Dalits that is going on in our country at the moment," Ms Dewan said.
"Junaid's killing was a shattering moment for me, and also for a lot of other people. I started crying when I heard about his murder.
"We've always been saying we should protest, but there's been no leadership. So we decided to do this ourselves. How long can you keep waiting till the cows come home?" she added.
Brann lead the second qualifying round tie against Ruzomberok 1-0 before next Thursday's second leg in Norway.
Everton, back in Europe for the first time since 2014-15, will host the first leg at Goodison Park on 27 July with the second leg away on 3 August.
Aberdeen will play Apollon Limassol of Cyprus or Moldova's Zaria Balti, if they get past Siroki Brijeg.
The two teams drew 1-1 at Pittodrie on Thursday, with the second leg in Bosnia-Herzegovina on 20 July (19:45 BST).
Full Europa League third qualifying round draw
Ronald Koeman's side will advance to the play-off round if they beat Brann or Ruzomberok.
Brann finished runners-up in Norway's top-flight in 2016, while Ruzomberok were third in Slovakia's Super Liga last season.
Cork City will face Rabotnicki of Macedonia or Dinamo Minsk of Belarus if they can overturn a 1-0 first leg deficit against AEK Larnaca.
Shamrock Rovers face a trip to Kazakhstan's Kairat Almaty or Albania's Skenderbeu if they overturn a 3-2 deficit against the Czech Republic's Mlada Boleslav.
Holders Manchester United, who beat Ajax 2-0 in the final in May, will start their 2017-18 European campaign in the Champions League group stage.
Mr Putin urged other countries to join Russia in sending "military-technical assistance".
He said the flow of refugees to Europe would have been "even bigger" without Russian support for Syria's government.
But the White House said Russia's support for President Assad was "counterproductive".
The US would prefer to see more "constructive engagement" from Russia with the coalition against so-called Islamic State (IS), spokesman Josh Earnest said.
Moscow has been a key ally of Mr Assad throughout the bloody civil war, which began in 2011.
It says military equipment is being sent to Syria to help the government combat IS.
President Putin said on Tuesday: "We support the government of Syria… in countering the terrorist aggression.
"We provide and will continue to provide it with the necessary military technical assistance. And we urge other countries to join us."
Russia's backing for Mr Assad should be seen not as a vote of confidence in Syria's embattled president but as an investment in a country where Russia believes it can play out its foreign-policy role.
Indeed Mr Putin's military deployments signal that he will not let the Assad regime fall. This does not mean Mr Assad will be there forever.
Russian diplomacy is working in tandem with its military policy, exploring all avenues for reaching some sort of interim deal in which Mr Assad might stay on, at least for the time being.
But Russia's horizons in Syria probably extend well beyond Mr Assad's active presence - a reflection of Russia's concerns about militant Islam and wider trends in the region, and also its belief that Western remedies in the Middle East have been an unmitigated disaster.
Russia sends signal over future role
Speaking at defence summit in Tajikistan, Mr Putin also said the situation in Syria would have been "worse than in Libya" had Russia not been supporting its leadership.
European countries have been struggling to cope with thousands of people arriving at their borders after fleeing the conflict.
President Putin's comments come after the US expressed concern at Russia's recent movements near Syria's coastal city of Latakia.
Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis said on Monday that a steady flow of people and equipment suggested that Moscow was planning to establish a "forward air operating base" at an airport there.
Last week, officials in Washington quoted by Reuters said Moscow had sent more aircraft and two tank landing ships to Russia's naval base in the Syrian coastal city of Tartus.
They also said a small number of naval infantry forces had been deployed.
Correspondents say US officials fear that the stepped-up Russian support will strengthen the Syrian government at a time when it has been losing on the battlefield and will complicate efforts to find a political solution.
Russia has denied building up their presence in Syria, although Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said last week that Russia would send more help to Syria if requested.
The war between President Assad's regime and various rebel groups has so far killed at least 240,000 people and displaced millions.
Syrian and Russian state media said on Saturday that two Russian cargo planes with 80 tonnes of humanitarian aid had landed at Latakia - a stronghold of President Assad.
Russia's defence ministry said the plane was carrying materials for setting up a tent camp for refugees.
A team looking like a fighter on the ropes, covering up for dear life and awaiting the sweet music of the final bell.
A clock that ticked so slowly that you thought on occasion that time had stood still.
A prize that was so close and yet so far away. Glory or despair - no Celtic fan who craved Champions League group stage football almost as much as they craved their next breath could be altogether sure which one it was going to be.
At the end, the cameras picked out some Celtic players and again the boxing metaphor seemed apt. There was joy, no doubt, but some of them looked too exhausted to celebrate. They were physically spent after playing two matches - the one against Hapoel on the pitch and the one against themselves in their heads.
Celtic wrestled with their own shortcomings all night and it must have been mind-altering. Their passing, defending, attacking and physicality. Nothing was easy. They had to dig deep to haul themselves across the line.
They did it, just. But 'just' is OK for now. 'Just' is absolutely fine when you've spent two years outside the Champions League watching the party with your nose pressed to the window.
They have many improvements to make, but they can think about them against the backdrop of Zadok the Priest - the soul-stirring Champions League theme song - rather than the death march that would have played on a loop had Tuesday gone wrong.
Celtic's recent history is littered with the names of men who have sickened them in the final minutes of European games, opposition players who capitalised on weakness and turned good Celtic nights into moderate ones and desperate ones.
Jo-Inge Berget for Malmo at Parkhead last season, Lasse Schone and Vaclav Cerny for Ajax in Glasgow and Amsterdam a few months later. Marcos Tavares for Maribor the season before. Jonathan Soriano for Salzburg, William de Amorim for Astra, Freddy Guarin for Inter.
Late goals that, mostly, turned Celtic wins into Celtic draws and Celtic draws into Celtic losses, all of the sucker-punches coming no more than 15 minutes from the end and the majority coming a whole lot closer to the conclusion than that.
The concession of late goals in Europe was a Ronny Deila curse and, in Israel, on Tuesday, it looked like the hex was about to transfer to his successor, too.
The endgame showed that Hapoel's dominance of possession stood at 62%. They launched a total of 21 attempts on Celtic's goal - three times Celtic's number. Uefa have a statistic for what they call dangerous attacks - Hapoel had 50, Celtic had 18.
Uefa also have possession stats. Celtic's inability to hold on to the ball was palpably obvious - and almost completely ruinous - in real time, but the numbers are worth a visit in any event. No starting Hapoel player had a passing accuracy of less than 70%.
Nobody will have much heart for beating up on Craig Gordon after his outstanding late save in the first leg and his penalty save in the second, but his distribution is something that Brendan Rodgers is looking at and his accuracy figure on Tuesday was 26%. Of the 10 goalkeepers in Champions League action on Tuesday night, Gordon was the least economical with the ball at his feet.
Kieran Tierney's number was 55%, Mikael Lustig 59%, Scott Brown 62%, Callum McGregor 63%, Scott Sinclair 65%, Saidy Janko 69%. They can be better. They'll have to be.
Celtic gave away a penalty (it was not a penalty, but it was given) and they survived it. They conceded a goal after 21 minutes that was farcically soft, then conceded another after 48 minutes that had the hallmarks of Chaplin and Keaton rather than Janko and Gordon.
Celtic were in freefall at 2-0. They gave Hapoel easy possession and free headers on goal, they gave them space and time and invitations to shoot. Celtic were out-played and out-muscled. It was as if the humidity had not just impacted on their ability to run and pass, but their ability to think.
But they did not cave, that was the difference, the change to the narrative. They found enough resilience and resistance, like that boxer on the ropes, ducking and diving and doing all they can to see it out.
For the past seasons it has seemed that all that mattered to Celtic people was getting back to the Champions League. Qualification was the be-all and end-all, but it isn't, not really, not to Celtic supporters.
They say that making the group stage is 'job done' and 'mission accomplished' and while that seems like enough right now, it won't necessarily feel that way to the fans when the smoke clears in the coming weeks. They will not expect last 16, but they will expect something. Some big nights, some wins, some glory.
Neil Lennon got a lot of love for bringing Celtic to the group stage in 2013-14 - and then a lot of grief when Celtic fared poorly against Barcelona, Milan and Ajax, winning just one from six. The feel-good of qualification dissipates. Rodgers knows that.
He will know that he needs to plug some holes in his team. He needs another option to Lustig at right-back and needs another passer, or two, in his midfield for those exacting, but thrilling, Champions League games to come.
On Tuesday night, given the drama, he might also have needed a blast of oxygen. He would not have been alone in having an unnatural heart-rate in those closing minutes. Celtic fans would have been forgiven for lapsing into hyperventilation, blowing into a bag on the full-time whistle while applying a wet towel to their brow.
It was that kind of night. The beauty for the club is that there is now a promise of more of them.
The Bath Rock building was removed for repair after suffering severe damage in early January.
The decision to rebuild the shelter followed a meeting between Ceredigion council and the heritage body, Cadw.
The work will use as much of the original timber as possible, and is likely to start before the end of May.
Part of the shelter fell into a hole that opened up after its foundations were washed away by waves that pounded the seafront.
"A meeting took place between officers of Ceredigion County Council and Cadw on Monday 3 March, with the outcome being that the Bath Rock Shelter on Aberystwyth Promenade will be rebuilt using as much of the original timber as possible," said a council spokesman.
"The rebuilding will commence when the sea wall has been adequately strengthened and the weather improves. Work is likely to begin before the end of May."
In January, Cadw told the council that it wanted the 1920s landmark to be repaired and replaced in its current position.
The council has said the cost of repairing Aberystwyth promenade and other locations in Ceredigion damaged by storms was more than £1.5m.
The council aims to completely reopen the promenade to the public by Easter.
When he died, society was caught in uncertainty - who would succeed him, and how? Some even predicted a violent power struggle.
But the power transfer went remarkably smoothly. Prime Minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev was named as the acting president and Karimov's Liberal Democratic party nominated him as its candidate for the presidential election scheduled on 4 December.
Few people today doubt that Mr Mirziyoyev will be the next leader of Uzbekistan.
But the job is far from over.
Mr Mirziyoyev has not been officially registered as a presidential candidate yet but his campaign seems to be in full swing. He has been criss-crossing the country meeting people, issuing decrees and signing laws.
"He does that because he needs to become visible, not everyone will know him," argues Luca Anceschi, a lecturer in Central Asian studies at the University of Glasgow.
Mr Mirziyoyev worked in the shadow of Karimov's rule and, according to cables released by the Wikileaks organisation, he instructed state media not to show images of him because the president may have got jealous.
Now, he's trying to make up lost time: he has visited eight of Uzbekistan's 13 regions of Uzbekistan in two weeks.
Interestingly, Mr Mirziyoyev has so far avoided visiting regions in the Ferghana valley, where discontent over the government's policies is believed to be high. People there still remember how the army violently broke up a major public protest in Andijan in 2005.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev seems to be consolidating power by reshuffling the cabinet, appointing new governors, police chiefs and prosecutors.
He even changed the minister of education and his deputy. The resources of this ministry are regularly used during elections to manipulate votes and reach out to the voters.
Regional media also report that Mr Mirziyoyev's family has started taking over the businesses that belonged to the Karimov family.
But gaining control over finance and powerful state agencies is not enough. The interim president has to compete with Karimov's legacy and convince people he is the rightful successor.
The entire legitimacy of the regime in Uzbekistan was based on Islam Karimov's image. Any thought that someone else could lead the country was suppressed before it could be even voiced. State propaganda relentlessly reminded people that Uzbekistan was a "state with a great future" thanks to Karimov.
"People in Central Asia are very close to their first-generation leader because they have this first president's aura, which others don't have," says Dr Anceschi.
Mr Mirziyoyev needs to boost his legitimacy - and he has done that by promising to follow the course of his predecessor.
"It is our duty to implement the main concepts of the progressive path determined by [Islam Karimov] and follow its direction, goals and aims without questions and in full," he announced when the joint session of the parliament named him as the interim president.
And yet, his first steps reversed some unpopular decisions made under Karimov's rule. He abolished "unscheduled" audits of businesses. Foreign currency revenue regulations for farmers were eased. Main roads used by the president's convoy, and closed for the public, were opened again.
These measures seem to have had an effect on the population. "People say that the new leader cares about them," a resident of the capital Tashkent tells the BBC. "Many are quite optimistic."
In foreign policy, Mr Mirziyoyev called for an "open and widened dialogue" with Tajikistan, which until recently was regarded as the arch enemy. He also invited a delegation from Kyrgyzstan a month after a tense stand-off between the two countries over disputed territories.
These moves are also aimed at bolstering legitimacy, says Alisher Khamidov, from the University of Newcastle.
"In the absence of Karimov, the Uzbek elites need new forms of legitimisation. Good relations with large states such as Russia and with neighbours fit this purpose."
But Lawrence Markowitz, associate professor at Rowan University in New Jersey, says that these steps are superficial. No changes in the political system can be expected in Uzbekistan, he says.
"Elites have vested interests in preserving the status quo that enables them to continue to channel side payments and rents into their private coffers," Dr Markowitz says. "Political institutions are too weak to support a diffusion of power away from the presidency."
In his attempt to get recognition, the new leader of Uzbekistan seems to be offering carrots to the society. But observers agree that this honeymoon period will unlikely last very long and that soon, sticks will replace carrots.

'I fear for Sunderland - even with Moyes in charge' - Kevin Kilbane's MOTD2 analysis
David Moyes' side had been booed off after a first half which saw them fail to test Boro debutant Guzan, replacing the injured Victor Valdes.
But after a second-half revival, they almost had a draw when Guzan fumbled another shot, but Donald Love turned the rebound wide.
Relive the game, plus reaction, here.
Middlesbrough's summer signing of Negredo on loan, only a year after Valencia paid £21.25m for the striker from Manchester City, caused some surprise.
A haul of five goals in La Liga last season meant his £100,000-a-week wages would be a gamble for newly promoted Boro.
But a goal on his debut against Stoke was followed by another key performance. He set up the opener for Stuani, although the goal was very much of the Uruguayan's own making as he smashed home from distance.
Negredo only assisted three goals in 40 games for Valencia last season, but had his second of the day when he could have gone alone. The 31-year-old Spain striker had space to shoot but instead, with goalkeeper Vito Mannone braced to attempt a save, Negredo rolled it across to Stuani to fire home.
Sunderland boss Moyes decided to start with Paddy McNair, usually a defender, in midfield alongside Jack Rodwell. And when they needed a tactical reshuffle following an injury to centre-back John O'Shea, it was Rodwell, rather than McNair who dropped back to defence.
But when Moyes scrapped that experiment at half-time and replaced McNair with midfielder Jeremain Lens, they made a game of it.
After the break they had more shots (14-3), more possession and more passes - having been behind on all of those counts in the first half.
But with 34-year-old debutant Steven Pienaar the only Sunderland player other than Jermain Defoe to have more than 10 Premier League goals in his career, they rarely looked like scoring - with the exception of Van Aanholt's goal.
Sunderland boss David Moyes told BBC Sport: "I did not think we deserved to be 2-0 down at half-time. After we lost John O'Shea, we did not get quite sorted. We did not take some chances but they did.
"We played well, we had a great level of intensity but ran out with 10 minutes to go. We have so many young boys and are at the bare bones. The boys did try to win and score in the second half but were unlucky.
"I took positives from the first half, we played well. Overall, they were fine."

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka: "The most important thing as always is the points. It's always important to win, especially in a derby and for our crowd who have been waiting for this moment for a long time, so I'm pleased for the players and the crowd.
"The key was the first half. I told the players they would start at 150% but with players of the quality of Cristhian Stuani we were able to score a first goal like that which opened up the game.
"In the second half we had problems but that's normal. The players showed we are ready for the season. We are playing well, compact and with intensity so it was important to get points as quickly as possible."

It is the first time a Swedish commoner has become a princess of Sweden in centuries.
"It's a real Cinderella story," says royal expert Roger Lundgren.
But like the fairytale, this royal love story has not always run smoothly.
News of the couple's relationship in 2010 caused quite a stir.
The prince's new girlfriend was known for appearing in the popular Swedish reality show Paradise Hotel in 2005, which saw young, scantily-clad singles compete to stay in a luxury hotel the longest.
She had also posed topless with a boa constrictor for the men's magazine Slitz.
And her tattoos and belly button piercing raised some eyebrows, with reports that the royal palace may have asked her to have them removed ahead of the weekend's wedding.
"When Carl Philip and Sofia first met I think that many people were critical to her, because of her background and the fact that she had done those bikini-shots and had been part of a reality show," says Johanna Lejon, royals reporter for the newspaper Svensk Damtidning.
Meanwhile Catarina Hurtig, the journalist who first broke the news of the couple's relationship, says: "At first there was quite a lot of fuss about her.
"Perhaps it was quite normal [behaviour] for a Swedish teenager, but maybe not a very appropriate history when falling in love with the prince."
But both experts say that attitudes towards her have changed over the years.
"Sofia has shown... that she is not in this relationship for fortune and fame," says Johanna Lejon.
Ms Hellqvist, 30, herself has said she does not regret anything about her past, although she would not make all the same decisions again.
Meanwhile, the royal palace has set about highlighting her other achievements.
We now know that after her stint on Paradise Hotel, Ms Hellqvist spent time in New York where she studied accounting and became a yoga instructor, helping to set up a yoga centre.
In 2009, she worked as a volunteer in Ghana, and the next year she co-founded the organisation Project Playground, which helps vulnerable children and young people in South Africa.
The previous focus on the raunchier elements of her past caused a "big problem" for the royal house, says Catarina Hurtig.
So the palace turned its attention on transforming her image, she says. "Her charitable work has been great for the royal house to focus on."
A team of stylists also helped prepare her for her new life, replacing the fake tan with classic outfits and swept-back hairstyles.
Catarina Hurtig says they took inspiration from Prince Carl Philip's mother, Queen Silvia.
Born in Germany, the queen also does not have blue blood, but has gone on to become popular among the Swedish public.
It may be down to King Carl XVI Gustaf's own choice of spouse that Prince Carl Philip - who is third in line to the throne - has been able to wed whom he wants.
The prince, 36, must get permission from the king to marry a commoner, and his great uncles lost their royal titles and succession rights when they went ahead with a wedding without it.
King Carl XVI Gustaf has given each of his three children, who have got married within five years of each other, his blessing.
Carl Philip's elder sister, Crown Princess Victoria - the next in line to the throne - married her personal trainer, Daniel Westling, in Stockholm in 2010.
And Princess Madeleine married US-British businessman Christopher O'Neill in 2013.

Roger Lundgren, royal expert and editor of Kungliga Magazine, says that like in the UK, the younger royals have taken the spotlight from older members in recent years.
And the glamorous couples will no doubt attract the cameras yet again this weekend.
Ms Hellqvist's past career choices are "not a problem" for the liberal Swedish public, Roger Lundgren says, and her experience with the media may well help her in her new role.
Meanwhile Catarina Hurtig says Ms Hellqvist has also helped her future husband to be more comfortable with publicity.
The new princess is expected to devote most of her time fulfilling her royal duties once married, and many hope she will be a role model for future generations.
"The royals have a lot of money and a lot of help with everything from cleaning their castles to taking care of babies, so they should be doing good things in the world and their country," says Catarina Hurtig.
Opinion polls have shown the Swedish royal family's popularity waning in recent years, particularly following a scandal in 2010 over claims the king had visited strip clubs.
But with as many as half a million people expected to line the streets of Stockholm on Saturday, the monarchy is still popular among many.
Fans say Ms Hellqvist - along with her story - has played a big part in this, arguing that she has changed the way people in Sweden view them.
"She is a small town girl and comes from a normal background, just like any of us," says Johanna Lejon.
"The fact that she is now becoming a member of the royal family says a lot about the Swedish king and the queen. They seem, and are, very open to change."
Education Secretary Michael Gove and Home Secretary Theresa May clashed after an alleged Islamist plot to take over some schools in Birmingham.
David Cameron has instructed Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood to look into the row between the ministers.
It came after the prime minister vowed to "sort out" the dispute.
Mr Gove was said by aides to believe Mrs May was too soft on extremism - Mrs May hit back by criticising his department's handling of the Birmingham allegations.
Speaking at the G7 summit in Brussels, Mr Cameron said: "I think it's very important that you recognise that we have got to deal not only with violent extremism but also the sink of extremism, of tolerating extremist views from which violence can grow.
"The whole government is signed up to that agenda and is driving through changes to deliver that agenda.
"As for these issues for the last day or so, I will get to the bottom of who has said what and what has happened and I will sort it all out - once I have finished these important meetings I am having here."
Mr Gove and Mrs May clashed at a recent meeting of the Extremism Task Force - a committee of cabinet ministers set up by Mr Cameron in the wake of the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby.
Allies of Mr Gove, who has long argued for the need to confront Islamist ideology, briefed the Times newspaper about his frustrations that the Home Office was being too soft on extremism.
The home secretary hit back by releasing a letter she had written to Mr Gove accusing his department of losing control of the education system - and of failing to act when concerns about the Birmingham schools were brought to its attention in 2010.
The briefing war escalated, with a Home Office source telling the media: "The Department for Education is responsible for schools, the Home Office is not.
"They have got a problem and they are trying to make it someone else's problem."
Mr Gove denied he was at war with Mrs May, saying he thought the home secretary was "doing a fantastic job".
Asked if he thought she was too soft on Islamic fundamentalism, as his aides appeared to suggest, he said: "No, absolutely not."
Hunt said she was "proud of what has been achieved on BBC One" but "could not resist the chance to join Channel 4 at such an exciting time."
Jana Bennett, the BBC's director of vision, said Hunt had "led BBC One with great commitment and creative flair."
Her appointment follows that of David Abraham, who was made Channel 4's new chief executive in January.
"Channel 4 requires a fearless creative leader to help steer us through our next phase," he said.
"Jay has demonstrated... her appetite to challenge the status quo, create and lead change, and promote new talent."
Julian Bellamy is currently Channel 4's acting chief creative officer and will leave the station after "a short period of transition".
The newly created chief creative officer role combines the channel's former two most senior creative posts, Head of Channel 4 and Director of Television and Content.
Hunt's successes at BBC One include the modern update of Sherlock Holmes, crime thriller Luther and hard-hitting drama Five Daughters.
She was previously controller of BBC Daytime and worked as editor of the One O'Clock and Six O'Clock News.
Hunt was director of programmes at Five when she was appointed BBC One's controller in 2007.
At least eight people died in Garland, near Dallas, five of them when their cars were blown off a motorway.
In west Texas, snow combined with high winds to cause drifts that left a number of roads impassable.
Heavy rains have caused flooding further north, leaving 12 people dead in Missouri and Illinois.
The storms across the south have been unusually powerful for winter.
Reports from Texas said churches were destroyed, cars mangled and trees toppled across a 64km (40 mile) zone from south of Dallas up to suburbs in the north-east.
Garland police believed that tornado-strength winds late on Saturday were the cause of car accidents, Melinda Urbina from the Dallas County Sheriff's office, told the BBC.
Ms Urbina said the winds "tossed cars around" and vehicles were later found below Interstate 30, about 15 miles (24km) north-east of Dallas. She urged local residents to stay off the roads.
In a Sunday morning briefing, Lt Pedro Barineau, of Garland police, said 600 buildings had been damaged.
"It is total devastation," he said.
The Red Cross is setting up shelters for those with damaged homes.
Two people were also found dead at a petrol station in Copeville, and a third was killed in Blue Ridge, reports in Dallas media said.
Kevin Taylor, a church pastor in Glenn Heights, south of Dallas, described to WFAA how his church began collapsing around him.
"Doors began to turn inward, when I saw that I figured the glass was going to shatter and hit me in the face, so I broke and ran down the hallway and by the time I got just a few feet everything collapsed and went dark and fell on top of me," he said, adding: "By the grace of God I'm here though."
Some 25,000 people were without power on Sunday morning.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared Dallas County and three other counties disaster areas.
He warned the death toll could rise.
The National Weather Service confirmed that several tornadoes had touched down near Dallas and other towns in northern Texas.
In the Texas Panhandle and parts of New Mexico and Oklahoma, the problem was snow - high winds caused drifts that have made a number of roads impassable.
Interstate 40 west of Amarillo to the New Mexico border is set to be shut until Monday morning.
The deaths in Dallas come as much of the south-central region of the US has been hit by severe weather in the past week.
Further north, six people died in two incidents when cars drove into flooded roads in Missouri. Another driver was found dead in his car in a creek.
Three adults and two children also drowned in southern Illinois when their vehicle was swept away.
While extreme weather in the US around Christmas is not unknown, meteorologists say that unseasonably high temperatures in some areas contributed to the severity of the storms.
The forecast for the eastern US is of continuing high temperatures - Washington DC pushed close to 70F (21C) on Sunday.
Police say they were first called to Nelson Street, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent at around 21:00 BST having been told car windows had been smashed.
They were then called to Rochester Road, Sandford Hill to more reports of people fighting and smashed windows.
Six men, aged between 18-23 were arrested on suspicion of affray.
Staffordshire Police say they seized "a machete and hammer along with a red Mercedes" and say they are linking both incidents.
More on this and other Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire stories here
Officers recovered a suspected firearm but say examinations show it was a "plastic, toy gun."
Inspector Mick Eyre, of Staffordshire Police said: "I want to take this opportunity to reassure residents that we take such matters extremely seriously and respond with the appropriate resources."
"Such behaviour on our streets is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to the incidents to get in touch with them.
The senior Conservative MP said mass immigration had put unprecedented strain on education, health and jobs.
The former shadow home secretary also warned that migration was putting too much pressure on certain communities.
In an interview with BBC Look North, David Davis, said: "We are a tolerant nation. We accept people with open arms, but this challenges that.
"From the point of view of maintaining a civilised society, we need to change the rules and that has to be one of the conditions of us staying in the EU."
In a recent speech on immigration, Prime Minister David Cameron pledged to curb welfare for EU migrants coming to the UK - a proposal which would see workers from overseas prevented from claiming certain benefits for up to four years.
However, the Mr Cameron has so far ruled out a limit, or so-called "emergency brake" on EU migration - a move many Conservative backbenchers support.
Any proposal to cap the number of European migrants coming to the UK would be opposed by those who argue that freedom of movement is a fundamental EU principle.
Labour MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber, Richard Corbett, said: "There are almost as many Brits living in other European countries as there are EU migrants in Britain.
"Those EU migrants in Britain pay far more in taxes than they take out in benefits."
The recent debate around immigration has focussed largely on the arrival of citizens from Romania and Bulgaria into the UK.
Many argue that newspaper predictions about being Britain being 'swamped' by a new wave of migrants from Eastern Europe proved wide of the mark.
My colleague Sarah Corker travelled to Romania to produce a special report for Sunday Politics in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
She found that many Romanians are worried about young, skilled workers leaving the country, creating a 'brain drain' in hospitals, schools and universities.

Now, he cannot rely on the famous old competition to protect him - or his failure to win the Premier League since 2003/04 - after Watford's shock 2-1 quarter-final win at Emirates Stadium.
So no FA Cup, as good as out of the Champions League as Arsenal attempt to overturn a 2-0 deficit against holders Barcelona in the Nou Camp on Wednesday, and eight points behind Premier League leaders Leicester City after two losses and a draw in their last three league games.
The 66-year-old is a towering figure in Arsenal's history - but if The Gunners finish this season empty-handed it must be time for Wenger to consider relinquishing control of the club he has served with such distinction since September 1996.
So why should the end of Wenger's era be on the agenda?
No Arsenal fan - even Wenger's fiercest detractors - would wish to see a wonderful career peter out to the soundtrack of growing criticism after bringing four titles, which also included two doubles with the FA Cup, and six FA Cup triumphs in all.
There comes a time, however, when any manager's recent record must be subjected to close scrutiny, irrespective of the past. It is not a vendetta or a personal campaign against Wenger, simply an examination of unflattering facts.
It is the law, the reality, of football management.
And if Arsenal do not win the title this season, a campaign they have almost been waiting for in many respects, the time would be right to hand over power because there are no signs that Wenger is close to recreating his successes of the past.
If he fails again, Wenger will have faltered with Arsenal's rivals all stumbling around them. Chelsea have imploded, Manchester City have been indifferent and Manchester United have been off the radar.
It would be a desperate reflection on Wenger and his team if they fail to take advantage of that collection of circumstances.
Since that last title, on the back of 38 games unbeaten, Wenger has only finished second once, in the following season. There have been six fourth-placed finished and four seasons in third. Arsenal have rarely threatened to actually win the title again.
And if they go out to Barcelona, it is will be their sixth successive Champions League exit at the last 16 stage.
If history repeats itself this season, then it must be the end of the old "Arsene Knows" and "In Arsene We Trust" mantras, and change must be considered. Wenger cannot be immune from the normal measures of success and failure.
Any regular visitor to Emirates Stadium will sense the growing frustration and fury among Arsenal fans as their team falls short - an understandable emotion they rightly feel at this huge club.
There were reports of Arsenal supporters confronting each other after the FA Cup loss while a tetchy Wenger described criticism (justified given Arsenal's recent record) as "a farce".
Arsenal fans brandished a prominent banner at the 4-0 FA Cup fifth round replay win at Hull City bearing the words: "Arsene. Thanks For The Memories But It's Time To Say Goodbye."
The air can only be cleared by a trophy and will become more polluted by criticism should Arsenal, as they so often have under Wenger in recent times, come up short once more. Or it could be cleared by a change of manager.
There is growing unrest, not helped by Leicester City's rise to the top and north London rivals Tottenham moving into second place, with Wenger inevitably the central figure and the focal point for fans' disappointments.
This, in reality, means winning the Premier League. Surely Wenger's future now largely hinges on that.
Arsenal's flaws remain the same this season as they have for so many of the barren years. Responsibility for that lies with the manager.
Wenger has invested in big signings by bringing in £42.4m Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid and Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona for £32m - but old failings have been left unattended to undermine Arsenal.
Indeed, Arsenal were the only major club in Europe's top five leagues not to sign a single outfield player last summer. Show of faith or flawed gamble? It will be seen as the latter if Arsenal win nothing.
Arsenal have lacked a powerful midfield presence for many years, yet Wenger has failed to address the problem. It has led to a heavy burden of responsibility being placed on Francis Coquelin, with a free transfer in his second spell at the club, Mathieu Flamini, as back-up.

And while Olivier Giroud is a serviceable Premier League striker, he is short of true world-class and once again Wenger has failed to produce. Arsenal have been linked with Luis Suarez, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain, to no avail.
Wenger's once golden touch in spotting and capturing the best youngsters also seems to have deserted him, with Juventus snapping up the brilliant 22-year-old Argentine Paulo Dybala and Borussia Dortmund's Pierre Emerick Aubameyang stating he has no interest in moving to north London.
He was on Arsenal's radar when he was at St Etienne but moved to the Bundesliga in 2013.
Wenger bristles at suggestions Arsenal lack natural leaders but their constant failures and mental weakness at pressure points suggest otherwise - as seen against Watford and also when they lost 3-2 to a youthful and injury-hit Manchester United in February.
These problems have been a narrative in Arsenal's failures - and Wenger has not changed the storyline.
Arsenal's board will not escape scrutiny either, but Wenger has never suggested in recent years that he was stopped from spending money. He has simply adopted a frugal approach that has seen the club left behind.
Sometimes a manager's time simply comes to a conclusion. Twenty years is a lifetime in football and Wenger may well be the last Premier League manager to preside over a dynasty.
And, no matter how fiercely the desire burns to bring back the former glories, a fresh voice is needed - and that time may have finally arrived at Arsenal.
Change is often required to refresh hearts and minds and simply blow away the cobwebs within a club. This is not a criticism of Wenger, simply that a manager's timespan just comes to an end.
Wenger's words praising Arsenal's spirit and attitude have been a constant accompaniment to a lack of silverware and it has been present again during a run of just four wins in 14 games.

It is a familiar sound, but a hollow one after defeats, and maybe it has become too familiar to his players. They do not back up Wenger's words with actions - maybe they now need to hear someone else.
History will remember Wenger as one of British football's greatest managers, but all good things must come to an end and some results and performances in recent weeks have smacked of the last days of his reign.
There is no agenda against Wenger. There is barely anyone who would begrudge him a happy ending at Arsenal.
Football, however, is not always like that.
This is now actually the biggest problem facing Arsenal's board after their years of complete loyalty to Wenger. It has meant those who would be a perfect fit for the club have gone elsewhere.
Two of the prime contenders are no longer available. Pep Guardiola, who many believe would have seen Arsenal's location, infrastructure and financial power as his perfect Premier League platform, is joining Manchester City, while Jurgen Klopp is at Liverpool.
Manuel Pellegrini will be available at the end of the season after leaving Manchester City, but is the 62-year-old an upgrade on Wenger?
Jose Mourinho is also available but he seems destined for other parts and is hardly the sort of combustible character Arsenal's board would consider, despite his great success. Forget that.

"This morning when we woke there was a decision to be made - do we play or do we cancel and leave town?" he said.
"I'm sure if we had done that, everybody would have understood. But we would have felt cowardly."
With the rest of the band lined up on stage, he added: "When we went through the band and spoke to the crew, everybody wanted to play. There was no doubt about that."
Before launching into the gig, he asked the audience to "take one minute to meditate and we'll play a bit of music and think of the victims of last night and their families".
The crowd spontaneously rose to their feet and stood in silence as reflective pre-recorded music was played.
There were empty seats, though. The show had been sold out, but when the gig started, on my level, around 80% of ticketholders had turned up.
The venue's capacity is 2,300 - meaning several hundred decided to stay away.
Many ticket-holders had earlier said they didn't agree with the decision to go ahead.
"Sadly wont be going," wrote Andrew Sturgess on Twitter. "Tried to reason for going all day. I can understand both sides. But too soon and too close for me."
Lindsay Hunt said: "Can't believe this concert is going ahead. Too soon. Our seats will be empty as my kids are still in shock after last night's events."
And Chris M wrote: "After much soul-searching, have decided not to go tonight. I know the show must go on, but the feeling just isn't right with me."
Among those who did attend, there was defiance.
"We are very saddened, but then we feel we've got to come," Diane Barber from Northwich in Cheshire told BBC News before the show.
"It would be too easy not to come. It's been hard. But we have to. That's the thing about Manchester - it's very strong. It's hard to come, but why should we let these people beat us?"
Another concert-goer named Gill said: "We should keep on with life, keep doing what we're doing. I did have hesitations. I've got children at home and I didn't want them worrying that we're in town.
"But I wanted to also show them that we don't give in to these violent, evil people and we carry on doing our best to keep supporting the arts and the city and businesses and life."
Ray Collins, also from Northwich, said turning up represented "being brave and standing up for values".
He said: "I know it was an extremely sad and sadistic thing that happened last night... and people may have doubts about Simple Minds with the way they're carrying on with their concert, but I think that's standing up for our values.
"There's fright but we've got to be strong as well."
One band that faced the same dilemma as Simple Minds was Take That, but the Mancunian man band reached a different decision.
They played three nights at the city's arena last weekend and were due to play three more nights there this weekend.
In between, they were scheduled to appear at Liverpool Echo Arena on Tuesday, but postponed that show "out of respect to all of the people and their families that were affected by the horrific incident last night".
Back in Manchester, a member of the city's musical royalty - former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr - made a surprise appearance with Broken Social Scene at the Albert Hall on Tuesday.
Other gigs went ahead, and it was confirmed that one of the city's musical events of the year will take place as planned this Saturday.
The Courteeners will play a sold-out 50,000-capacity show at Old Trafford cricket ground, supported by other local bands including The Charlatans and Blossoms.
Announcing the decision, The Courteeners frontman Liam Fray said of the attack: "This will hurt. For a long time. But as you walk around town today try not to bow your head. Look up at the skies. We'll see you on Saturday."

DeGale fights Romanian-born Canadian Bute in what he says will be an "explosive" encounter in Quebec City.
"They think it's going to be a boxing match, but it will be a destruction," added the 29-year-old Briton.
"I feel like a beast. I'm going to start fast and throw loads of punches. Once he feels my power that will be it. Place your bets, trust me."
DeGale became the first British boxer to add a world professional title to an Olympic gold medal when he beat Andre Dirrell in Boston in May.
He has won 21 of his 22 fights since turning professional - his only defeat coming against bitter domestic rival George Groves in May 2011.
Bute held the IBF title for five years before losing to Carl Froch in May 2012 and has been victorious in 32 of his 34 bouts.
"It's a great opportunity to fight for my old belt in front of my hometown fans. I think they'll push me toward the victory," he said.
"I think he's the best super middleweight in the world right now, but I'm very confident in myself. I'm healthy, I feel great physically.

The Last Ship, a story of unemployed shipbuilders who take over a factory to build a new vessel, opened on 26 October to mixed reviews.
Last month, Sting stepped in to replace leading man Jimmy Nail in a bid to revive flagging ticket sales.
His appearance had a "galvanizing impact", but producers felt attendance would drop when he left, especially during the slow winter period.
News of the closure came after Broadway theatres reported a record-breaking year for attendance and box-office takings in 2014.
A total of 13.1 million people went to see shows in the heart of New York last year, bringing in $1.36bn (£0.89bn).
The Broadway League, which represents producers and theatre owners, said attendance was up 13 percent and box-office takings up 14 percent.
The week ending Sunday 28 December was the biggest Christmas week in history for the theatre district - but the best-attended and highest-grossing period overall was New Year week.
Long-running shows Wicked, The Lion King and The Book of Mormon were among the top-grossing shows, with each pulling in more than $2.2 million (£1.45 million) for the New Year week.
Nearly 20 new shows are scheduled to open on Broadway in 2015, including a musical version of the 2003 Jack Black film School of Rock.

Jack Sheldon's badly burnt body was found in a shed at his home in Campsall, South Yorkshire, by firefighters on 27 October last year.
His inquest at Doncaster Coroner's Court heard he died from breathing toxic fumes and the "rapid progression" of the blaze.
Coroner Nicola Mundy recorded a verdict of accidental death.
The inquest heard evidence from a number of people who made "valiant efforts" to put out the fire on Byron Avenue with bowls of water, fire extinguishers and hosepipes.
'He was unaware'
But Ms Mundy said: "It had been thought Jack was not in the shed but it quickly became apparent Jack had been in the shed throughout."
The coroner said Jack and a friend were using a candle for light as they stripped paint from the mini motorbike using rags and petrol, which was leaking on to the table, floor and carpet.
Jack's friend left and the inquest heard that fumes, which were likely to have built up in the shed, ignited a short time later.
The coroner said: "I feel quite satisfied that Jack would have instantly lost consciousness because of the toxic effect of those fumes and would have been unaware of what was happening from that point on."
Ms Mundy said she will also write to South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service to raise concerns about a four-minute delay in their response, although she did not believe it would have changed the outcome.
The bell is to be put out of use - except for special occasions - for four years on Monday to allow repairs to the surrounding Elizabeth Tower.
Parliament said it had to protect workers carrying out the renovations.
But Prime Minister Theresa May said "it can't be right" that the famous bongs will not be heard again until 2021.
She said Speaker John Bercow should "urgently" review the proposals.
Now, in a statement, the House of Commons has said: "When Parliament returns, in light of concerns expressed by a number of MPs, the House of Commons Commission will consider the length of time that the bells will fall silent.
"Of course, any discussion will focus on undertaking the work efficiently, protecting the health and safety of those involved, and seeking to ensure resumption of normal service as soon as is practicable given those requirements."
A Commons spokesman said the bells would cease to ring on Monday, following the chimes at noon, as planned.
But he added: "Big Ben's bongs are an integral part of parliamentary life and we will ensure that they can resume their role as the nation's timekeeper as soon as possible."
Asked about the plan to silence the bells for four years - which has been strongly criticised in some sections of the press - Mrs May said: "Of course we want to ensure people's safety at work but it can't be right for Big Ben to be silent for four years.
"And I hope that the Speaker, as the chairman of the House of Commons Commission, will look into this urgently so that we can ensure that we can continue to hear Big Ben through those four years."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said he would miss the sound of Big Ben, but that the welfare of people working alongside it should come first.
He added: "So if we have to miss Big Ben in reality for a while so that work can be done, well, that's something we have to go through.
"It's not a national disaster or catastrophe."
A Commons spokesman said "starting and stopping Big Ben is a complex and lengthy process" and it would not be possible to continue ringing the bells for the entire period.
He added: "The whole process takes around half a day to complete.
"Following a thorough assessment, experts have concluded that it would not be practical or a good use of public money to start and stop the bells each day, particularly as we cannot fully predict the times that staff will be working on this project."
The Commons Commission is responsible for maintenance of the Palace of Westminster.
Lib Dem MP Tom Brake, a member of the commission, has written to the Commons director general to ask about the cost and practicality of "ringing them more frequently" during the repair works.
He said: "It would not be possible for them to continue to be rung every 15 minutes as is currently the case, that would not be practical, but it may be perhaps practical and it may be financially viable to ring them more frequently than is currently being proposed."
The £29m restoration was signed off in 2015 by the Commons Administration Committee, which advises the commission, as well as the Lords Administration and Works Committee and the Commons Finance Committee.
But Mr Brake said MPs did not know the full extent of the shutdown when they agreed the repair plans.
Last year the House of Commons said the bells would have to be switched off for "several months" to allow the repair work to take place.
On Monday, it was revealed this would involve a much longer period of silence, with the bells only being switched back on for important events like New Year and Remembrance Sunday.
This led to press criticism, and Brexit Secretary David Davis described the move as "mad".
Defending itself, Parliament said that "prolonged exposure to the chimes would pose a serious risk to the hearing" of those working on the project.
With Sam Allardyce named as the new England manager, BBC Sport spoke to the former chief football writer of the Bolton Evening News, Gordon Sharrock, who has known Allardyce since he played for Wanderers four decades ago.
He was Big Sam, the bruising centre-half, and when he played, he was always learning the game, you could see that. He was marked down to be a manager but you didn't know if he was going to be successful.
Sam didn't have a magic bullet for managing players, he man-managed them individually. Bolton had an incredible backroom team and when Youri Djorkaeff joined the Bolton family, he had a chiropractor, who was based in Belgium, that he favoured.
Despite Bolton having a chiropractor, Sam would allow the Frenchman to go see his own. This was to make him feel comfortable, rather than put his foot down and say: "No, I have a man here I pay for, you cannot go out there." He readily allowed it and that would be typical of him.
However, he wouldn't allow it for everyone. He was firm and strong and did lay the law down. He had a bible or dossier of dos and don'ts, which all the players had to sign up to. They did, readily.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Former Bolton full-back Gudni Bergsson was still playing at 36 and Sam used to allow him to have time off, or allow him to miss some of the running sessions that the rest of the squad had to do. Bergsson would turn up but he didn't have to flog himself. Sam knew if that happened then he wouldn't get anything out of him on a Saturday.
He also had bonding sessions with players and staff to boost team spirit. For example, he accepted a bet with his players that if they won by three goals or more, the staff would have to do a forfeit and if they were beaten by three or more, the players would have to. After Bolton had scored five against Leicester City in their first Premier League game, the staff had to go out and have a meal of sheep testicles, the hottest curry imaginable and other foul foods.
He took them on day trips to places such as the Lake District, where the players had races sitting on toilets to see who could go round the field quickest. He took them to the horse racing. He would do things to get the team spirit up. It worked.
England players should not expect the norm with Sam. He shakes things up with training schedules to keep the players on their toes and to build camaraderie.
Bolton spent two weeks in Indianapolis, in the USA, on a pre-season tour in 2000, a year before they reached the Premier League. Sam had been driving one of two buses the club were given. I was staying at the same hotel as them and was scheduled to do a big pre-season interview with him.
He came down for breakfast one morning and asked if I had driven in the USA before. I said I had. Sam then told me I would be driving the bus, even though he was supposed to, as they had suffered so many injuries he had to go back to Europe to sign some players.
When Sam asks you to do something, it's not easy to refuse. So there I was driving around players such as Dean Holdsworth, Paul Warhurst and Kevin Nolan.
Sam's work with his players goes on 24/7. Much like other managers, a lot of his work is done Monday to Friday and the fruits of that are seen on a Saturday. The one thing people who have worked with, and played for, Sam will tell you is the atmosphere in the dressing room is key.
He will inspire the players in the dressing room. It is well known he gets the best out of players. He did that at Bolton better than he did anywhere else. To get the club into the Premier League and keep them there for as long as he did was a remarkable achievement.
To begin with, he did that with players who weren't regarded as Premier League standard. At that time, as he has been since, Sam was criticised for playing a direct style of football.
Yet he went on to bring in players such as Djorkaeff, Jay-Jay Okocha, Ivan Campo, Nicolas Anelka, Fernando Hierro, Stelios Giannakopoulos and Gary Speed. They wouldn't want to play that kind of football and they didn't. Bolton played some very good football at times.
Kevin Nolan and Kevin Davies were part of that and Sam got the best out of them. Bolton were not easy to play against. Nevertheless, they were successful. Under him, they qualified for Europe twice.
He will look at what he has with England and adapt accordingly, but he will make those players feel special. Once players begin to work for him, they are prepared to go the extra mile.
Sam is a smart manager. Take the way he has tackled matches against Arsenal, for instance. He relished them. He used to like getting in Arsene Wenger's face. It wasn't personal, it was business.
He would look at his 11 players and their 11 and say: 'If we try to pass our way around Arsenal, we will be on the end of a thumping.' Instead, he would instruct the players to get in their faces. His work that week would focus on trying to secure the right result. Very often, he would get it.
Tactically, he is right up there with the best. He can be functional but when you have Djorkaeff, Okocha and Anelka in your team, you will encourage them to play good football.
Some of the matches at Euro 2016 were poor. There was little attractive football. Teams didn't want to concede. I didn't see anything there that Sam could not live with. The England players will be feeling intolerable amount of pressure, but Sam will take away the weight of expectation and the fear factor.
Sam has not won any major trophies. But there are different ways to manage success for each manager. At 61, Sam is at the right age now and commands the respect needed.
The England job is a difficult one for any manager but he is a dyed-in-the-wool Englishman, someone who has served his time and who lives, breathes and sleeps football.
Gordon Sharrock was speaking to BBC Sport's Shamoon Hafez. A version of this story first appeared on 20 July.
BBC reporters at polling stations in Donetsk and Luhansk regions spoke of chaotic scenes, no voting booths in places and no electoral register.
At least one person is reported to have been killed by armed men loyal to Ukraine's government.
Ukraine called the vote a "criminal farce" organised by Russia.
Western countries have also condemned the vote. Separatist leaders ignored a call by the Russian president to delay it.
The head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic election commission Roman Lyagin told journalists that 89% voted in favour of self-rule, with 10% against, on a turnout of nearly 75%.
There are no results from the Luhansk area so far.
By Will VernonBBC News, Mariupol
At the Primorsky polling station in Mariupol, a large crowd is gathered outside, waiting to vote. There is a crush of people inside.
Organisation is chaotic at best. There are no polling booths: people vote at the registration desks. People's details are hastily scribbled on generic forms. There is also a collection for money towards funding the Donetsk People's Republic.
The chairman of this polling station, Sergei Babin, said that people from other regions are permitted to vote here. He said their details would be taken down, and then, to ensure they haven't voted elsewhere, "the lists from different polling stations would be checked against each other".
Asked how long such a mammoth task would take, he replied "one day."
A Donetsk separatist leader, Denis Pushilin, told one Russian news agency that once the results are announced, all Ukrainian military troops in the region would be considered "occupying forces".
The shooting incident, in which separatist officials said at least one person had been killed, took place in Krasnoarmiisk, west of Donetsk city, after armed men supporting the Kiev government closed down a polling station.
A photographer with AP news agency reported seeing two people lying motionless on the ground.
A few hours before polling was due to close, separatist officials claimed turnout in Donetsk region had been close to 70% - but there was no independent confirmation. In other developments:
The ballot papers in Ukrainian and Russian ask one question: "Do you support the Act of State Self-rule of the Donetsk People's Republic/Luhansk People's Republic?"
A second round of voting is planned in a week's time, on joining Russia. Organisers also say they will boycott Ukraine's presidential elections on 25 May.
Ukraine's interim President Olexandr Turchynov has admitted many in the east supported pro-Russian militants, but warned the referendums were "a step towards the abyss".
Latest from BBC reporters
In pictures: Eastern Ukraine vote
The EU and US have also condemned the referendums, amid fears Ukraine could be sliding to civil war.
A Pew Research Centre survey suggested a majority even in eastern Ukraine - 70% - wanted to remain in a united country, despite concerns about governance.
Russia annexed Ukraine's southern autonomous republic of Crimea after a March referendum.
Bill Taylor, a former US ambassador to Ukraine, said results from Sunday's vote should be treated with caution after what happened in Crimea.
Russia is estimated to have some 40,000 troops near the border and says they have been pulled back, but Nato says it has seen no sign of this.
EU leaders have warned Russia it faces further sanctions if Ukraine's presidential election fails to go ahead.
Emergency workers are on their way to the affected area to search for survivors and provide mobile shelters.
Officials said Sunday's quake had destroyed at least 80 homes in the Arequipa region.
Earthquakes are common in Peru. In 2007, almost 600 people died when an 8.0-magnitude quake hit the central coast area.
The quake struck at 21:58 local time (02:58GMT) at a depth of 10km (6.2 miles), according to the US Geological Survey.
Its epicentre was 7km west of the town of Chivay, the USGS said.
The worst affected districts are Ichupampa, Yanque, Achoma and Maca.
At least 40 people are reported to have been injured.
A local mayor told Peruvian media that "the quake was felt very strongly... we have lost contact with nearby villages and are asking for heavy machinery".
Arequipa Governor Yamila Osorio said she would travel to the affected area.
The region was already suffering from freezing temperatures.
Hours before the quake, President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski had visited the area to assess the damage caused by the cold snap.
They said half of the sum related to the economic losses from early deaths and patients taking time off work.
They believe the findings could help identify which areas offer the best returns from investment in research.
Lung cancer was the most expensive, costing £2.4bn a year, bowel cancer cost £1.6bn, breast cancer £1.5bn and prostate cancer £800m.
The study, which is being presented to the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) conference in Liverpool on Wednesday, looked at economic losses, health care costs and the burden of unpaid care provided by friends and family.
The £15.8bn total for all cancers included £7.6bn in economic costs, £5.6bn for health and £2.6bn for unpaid care.
Lead researcher Dr Jose Leal said: "Our research shows that cancer impacts on the economy as a whole - and not just the health service.
"Premature deaths, time off work and unpaid care by friends and family account for 64% of all cancer costs.
"These wider costs should be taken into account when deciding research priorities.
"Cancers with the highest economic cost could offer the highest expected returns from investment in research."
NCRI director Dr Jane Cope said: "These figures remind us that cancer has a cost, not just in professional health care but also in loss of earnings for patients and loved ones who give up work to look after them."
Jean King, director of tobacco control at Cancer Research UK, said the research was further proof of the need to tackle smoking, particularly among the young.
"Stopping young people taking up this deadly addiction in the first place will not only reduce the number of lung cancer cases in the future but a range of other illnesses that continue to blight the lives of so many people," she added.
Many people will be familiar now with the dominant theory in cosmology - that our observable Universe emerged from an incredibly small, incredibly dense space, presumably in some quantum process, and then expanded outwards. Our studies of the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background (CMB) - indicate this event occurred some 13.82 billion years ago. On some levels this idea seems fantastical, but when we look deep into space, it makes sense. The American astronomer Edwin Hubble showed us that the galaxies are rushing away from each other, and that the further you look, the faster they recede. Run the "movie" backwards, and everything must have been much closer together in the past. But the earliest moments are certainly hard to grasp, and scientists themselves confess that the further back you go, the more difficult the physics is to describe and comprehend.
Stunning new view of 'oldest light'

It's an "add on" to BBT. It proposes that about a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after our observable Universe got going, it went through a super-rapid expansion, taking an infinitesimally small patch of space to something about the size of a marble, before then continuing to coast outwards. (Note: space may open up faster than light, but nothing in it is moving faster than light). One of the pioneers of inflationary theory, the American Alan Guth, describes inflation "as sort of the bang in the Big Bang". And it fixes some puzzling aspects in BBT. For example, it explains why the Universe looks so smooth on the largest scales. Inflation would have stretched away any unevenness. It also explains the structure we see in the Universe - all those galaxies and clusters of galaxies. The random quantum fluctuations that existed before inflation would have been amplified to provide the seeds for everything that came after.
The first fractions of a second after the Big Bang
What is inflation theory? (External)
Inflationary theory came with a prediction - something the experimentalists could test. It was hypothesised that the very rapid expansion would have been accompanied by waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space-time would have left an indelible mark on the CMB. Gravitational waves alternately squeeze and stretch space as they pass through it. And the primordial waves associated with inflation would likely have changed the orientation of the oldest light in the Universe. In other words, it would have polarised this light. This being the case, it should be possible to detect a very characteristic "twist" in the CMB, provided the signal is large enough and the investigations are sensitive enough. A telescope at the South Pole, operated by the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization 2 (BICEP2) project, has now claimed to have done this.
What are gravitational waves? (External)
South Pole Station (External)
Assuming the observations are correct, it's a huge result. It represents our most direct detection yet of gravitational waves. That alone might be Nobel Prize-winning territory. But beyond that, this is a huge step for the study of the origin of the Universe. Inflation has always involved some highly speculative physics. So free was the hand of theorists that they were able to dream up literally hundreds of different models for how inflation might have worked. They can't do that anymore. The size and shape of the signal claimed by BICEP2 means many of the more exotic models will now go straight in the bin. Importantly, the discovery gives scientists an energy scale for inflation. The physics they develop to describe inflation must now fit inside that parameter. The good news is that the energies implied by BICEP2 are consistent with ideas for what is termed Grand Unified Theory. This is the realm where particle physicists believe three of the four fundamental forces in nature can be tied together.

The British star famous for playing Nelson Mandela and starring in The Wire, is reportedly being considered for the next 007.
The Daily Beast is reporting there was leaked email from Amy Pascal, chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment motion pictures group.
It is reported the contents said: "Idris should be the next Bond.
Pascal was thought to be emailing Elizabeth Cantillon, the former executive vice president of production for Columbia Pictures - which distributes the Bond franchise.
There is no confirmation from Idris Elba or from Sony Pictures that the actor will take over to be the next 007.
The 42-year-old has previously said he would play Bond.
During a Reddit AMA in September he responded to a fan's question of whether he'd be willing to take the role, writing: "Yes, if it was offered to me, absolutely."
Daniel Craig, who is currently filming his fourth appearance as Bond in new release Spectre, is signed on to do one more film.
"I've been trying to get out of this from the very moment I got into it. But they won't let me go, and I've agreed to do a couple more," he told Rolling Stone two years ago.
Spectre is due for release in November next year.

The movie tells the story of a trio of African-American women working at Nasa whose skills helped put astronaut John Glenn into orbit in 1962.
Actresses Taraji P Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae cried as they watched clips ahead of an on-stage Q&A.
Henson apologised afterwards for being so overwhelmed.
"I never got into acting for the accolades. I'm a girl from the hood. I didn't grow up with much, so all I had was dreams and hope," she said.
"This story is so important. Had I known about these women coming up, maybe I would have aspired to be a rocket scientist."
In Hidden Figures, Henson plays mathematician Katherine Johnson, alongside Nasa colleagues Dorothy Vaughan (Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Monae).
Cameron Bailey, the artistic director of the Toronto International Film Festival, said the women had been a "visionary trio who had crossed race and gender lines".
The cast also includes Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst and Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons.
Spencer said her character Dorothy "could disassemble anything and put it back together", a skill she had used to fix Nasa's IBM computer.
"No women, not black or white, were mentioned in Apollo 13 or all of these other movies," Spencer said, adding that she was sad that the real Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson had not lived to see their story told on film.
"But I'm excited that Katherine Johnson will," she said, her voice breaking with emotion.
"I just want her to be proud," added Henson.
"People come up to me and they're like, 'Oh, Oscars!' Everybody wants to put on that pressure.
"I don't accept that pressure - I'll let you all say it - but what I was most concerned about was if Katherine would be proud, because she's still alive - this is her story."
The film, directed by Theodore Melfi, is due out in early 2017.
The special screening was followed by an outdoor concert by Pharrell Williams whose songs feature on the soundtrack.
The Toronto International Film Festival runs until 18 September.

Durham fast bowler Mark Wood took 2-38 for the North on his return after three ankle operations.
Rain saw the final contest in the inaugural series between players from northern counties and southern counties shortened to 40 overs per side.
The three-match series is designed as a warm-up for county cricket's 50-over competition, the Royal London One-Day Cup, as well as helping players prepare for international cricket.
Eight players earned an automatic place on each team - with North represented by players from northern counties and South from southern counties - through the Professional Cricketers' Association's Most Valued Player ratings formula, while the remaining players were chosen by the England selectors.

Kem Ley was shot at a cafe in the capital Phnom Penh last year, in a killing that shocked the country.
Oeuth Ang, who goes by the name "Chuob Samlab" (Meet to Kill), admitted the killing, saying it was over money.
Rights groups believe Kem Ley was probably killed for his outspoken criticism of the government.
Oeuth Ang, a former soldier, was found guilty of murder and illegal possession of a firearm.
Assassinations of high-profile activists are not uncommon in the country.
Over the past two years a growing number of anti-government campaigners and politicians have been prosecuted on what they say are trumped-up charges, says the BBC's South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head.
Hun Sen, who has ruled Cambodia for more than three decades, is accused of increasingly authoritarian rule.
The country has also pushed through legislation allowing political parties to be dissolved if their leaders have criminal convictions, a measure critics believe is intended to ensure Hun Sen's party wins the coming general election, due next year, our correspondent adds.
Kem Ley had called for a new era of clean politics. Days before his death he had commented on a report exposing the business dealings of Hun Sen and his family.
Trinity Culley, then aged nine, grabbed towels and delivered her sister while the family waited for an ambulance at their home in Fingringhoe, Essex.
Mum Dee said Trinity was "amazing but a bit embarrassed as she saw everything".
"We're certainly not going to have to have that 'where babies come from' talk with her after this," she said.
Mrs Culley, 28, went into labour two weeks early on 31 March.
"Trinity dashed downstairs and grabbed towels and covered me up," she said.
"She just said, 'It's alright mum, I've seen this on One Born Every Minute'."
Trinity was not allowed to watch the programme but had been doing so in secret in her room, Mrs Culley said.
Jasmin Elizabeth-Rose weighed in at 7lb 1oz (3.2kg) and arrived "in about five minutes".
Mrs Culley said she and husband Terry, 34, were "extremely proud" of their eldest daughter.
Trinity, who has since had her 10th birthday, was "chastised" for watching the show on her television "which was not meant for that sort of thing".
Mrs Culley said: "She just turned to me and said, 'Well mum, if I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't have known what to do, would I?'."
In exchange for an empty bottle or jar, children will get a free ticket to a showing at the renovated Hippodrome cinema in Bo'ness, near Falkirk.
The picture house was re-opened last year after a £2m restoration.
The offer will see film fans who donate a clean, empty jam jar (with its lid) given two tickets for the price of one at special screenings.
This season's offer will allow movie-goers access to the silent Buster Keaton classic, Steamboat Bill Jr.
The jars will be used by the Georgian Kitchen in nearby Callendar House in Falkirk for jam-making.
Astrid Shearer, audience development officer at the cinema, said: "We're really proud of the Hippodrome's unique heritage and we like to think that, although we do show the latest releases, we also celebrate our place in cinema history, and give our audience the opportunity to see some exceptional and rarely screened films."
The exchange will not happen overnight: the complex logistics involved mean it will be 2017 before the great cetacean is hanging from the ceiling of the iconic Victorian Hintze Hall.
The museum thinks the change will increase the wow factor for visitors.
But it also believes the whale can better convey all the cutting-edge science conducted at the institution.
That is something a plaster-cast model of a Diplodocus skeleton - as familiar and as popular as it has become - can no longer do effectively.
"Everyone loves 'Dippy', but it's just a copy," commented Sir Michael Dixon, the NHM's director, "and what makes this museum special is that we have real objects from the natural world - over 80 million of them - and they enable our scientists and thousands like them from around the world to do real research."
The 25m-long blue whale skeleton currently hangs in the mammals gallery.
It was acquired for the museum shortly after it opened in 1881. The animal had beached at Wexford on the southeast coast of Ireland.
The curators paid £250 for it in 1891, although it was not put on public display in London until 1935.
Every single bone is present. They will now all be carefully dismantled, cleaned and catalogued, and then re-suspended on wires above the Hintze entrance.
Anyone walking into the current mammals gallery knows the skeleton to have a flat pose, but the intention is to give it a dramatic, diving posture in its new home.
"It's a fantastically complete specimen," said Richard Sabin, whose vertebrates division at the NHM will oversee the transfer.
"It's also one of the largest of its kind on display anywhere in the world; and we know its history, we know how it was killed and processed, and that's quite rare.
"Just the act of moving it will be great for science because we'll scan every bone, and that means any researcher will be able to study it and even print 3D parts if they want to."
The museum has chosen the whale to lead what it calls its "three great narratives".
These cover the origins and evolution of life, the diversity of life on Earth today, and the long-term sustainability of humans' custodianship of the planet.
The cetacean has something to say on all them, particularly the last. Blue whales were hunted to the brink of extinction before a ban on their exploitation was put in place in the 1960s.
Indeed, it was NHM scientists who were instrumental in gathering the data in the earlier decades of the 20th Century that showed commercial practices were driving the animal to oblivion.
"And going forward we want to tell more of these stories about the societally relevant research that we do," explained Sir Michael.
"So, for example, today our teams help the police with the forensic examination of crime scenes; we do projects that potentially could help feed nine billion people in 2050; and we also look at whether it's possible to eradicate certain parasitic diseases in Africa.
"We're not just nerdy guys who can identify every species of butterfly."
The museum would like to make the switch-over to the whale much faster, but Hintze Hall is a major circulation space and it has to remain open throughout the transition.
Dippy will not disappear. It is likely to feature in a larger exhibit that illustrates how dinosaurs lived in their environment. This could be taken outside to the front of the South Kensington building, Sir Michael said.
There is also the possibility that Dippy could go on tour as well, to bolster the exhibition spaces at regional museums in the UK.

Brooks, 19, was included in a 20-man party for Wales' first appearance in the prestigious Under-20 competition.
But the Sheffield United player's England call-up was announced 11 minutes after his Wales withdrawal.
"It's a frustrating part of the job with dual nationality players," said Wales manager Robert Page.
"We'll support him in his decision."
Brooks has made four appearances in all competitions for League One champions Sheffield United this season.
The Welsh-language arts festival will run from 29 May to 3 June at Bridgend College's Pencoed Campus.
The council approved the six-day youth event which it hopes will bring 100,000 visitors and £6m to the local economy.
Cabinet member councillor Phil White said it was "a unique opportunity to promote the county borough to a national audience".
The 2015 Urdd National Eisteddfod will be in Caerphilly from 25 to 30 May.
The US agency's current policy prohibits anyone working for it who has used cannabis in the past three years.
However, its director James Comey has acknowledged that this is complicating its efforts to recruit hacking experts, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It said he made the announcement at a conference in New York.
"I have to hire a great workforce to compete with those cybercriminals, and some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview," the newspaper quoted him as saying at the White Collar Crime Institute's annual meeting.
It added that when one attendee asked how a cannabis-using friend interested in working for the bureau should now act, Mr Comey replied: "He should go ahead and apply."
A spokeswoman for the FBI confirmed Mr Comey had discussed cannabis in unscripted remarks during a question and answer session after his speech at the conference.
However, during a committee hearing at the Senate on Wednesday the FBI director subsequently said he had been trying to be "philosophic and funny" when he made the comments.
"I don't want young people to use marijuana. It's against the law," he added.
"I did not say that I'm going to change that ban. I said I have to grapple with the change in my workforce."
Unlike the FBI, the UK's National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU)'s vetting policy does not make specific reference to cannabis, but does have a wider anti-drugs rule.
"Whilst previous drug taking is not necessarily a barrier to employment provided people are open about it, applicants are told not to apply if they have taken illegal drugs in the preceding 12 months," said a spokeswoman for the National Crime Agency, of which the NCCU is a division.
"Before joining all new entrants have to undertake a drugs screening test before appointment is confirmed.
"Once employed, individuals are subject to NCA policies including random and intelligence-led 'with cause' substance testing. Certain high-risk posts require individuals to take more regular testing as a role requirement."
One expert thought it was sensible to review such anti-drugs policies.
"The sort of hackers that you want to hire tend to be young, the young tend to have bad habits such as smoking marijuana, and over time you'd expect them to do this less," Dr Richard Clayton, from the University of Cambridge's Computer Laboratory, told the BBC.
"But equally, I believe the FBI and the National Cyber Crime Unit have more problem recruiting people because of the salaries they pay, which compare poorly with the salaries available in the private industry."
The UK's Defence Secretary Philip Hammond told BBC Two's Newsnight programme in November that the NCCU might hire convicted hackers despite a current ban against recruits with a criminal record.
"The conviction would be examined in terms of how long ago it was, how serious it was, what sort of sentence had followed. So I can't rule it out," he said.
But Dr Clayton said he was concerned how this might be implemented.
"We like to send out the message that hacking is very bad and that if you get caught it can ruin your life," he said.
"But it's a problem if you then say, 'If you get caught we might let you serve a few months in jail and then give you a nice cushy job.'
"Perhaps we might want to have some sort of 'we won't hire you until your conviction is at least five years old' sort of policy."
The 39-year-old led the club to consecutive promotions from the National League to League One before a 10th-place finish in 2016-17.
After assisting former boss John Ward, Clarke took charge in March 2014 prior to relegation to non-league that term.
His side finished seven points off the play-off places in May, in their first season back in the third tier.
He had signed a three-year deal to 2019 in May 2016, after turning down a formal approach from Championship side Leeds United.
"We were very keen for him to remain in charge and to build on the success he has brought to the club in a very short time," club president Wael Al Qadi told the club website.
"It was important, we felt, to ensure we had the man we wanted at the helm. With Darrell as manager, we feel that the club is in a stable position and we are confident that he will continue to move us forward."
Clarke added: "I would like to thank the club's owners and directors for giving me the opportunity to continue, long term, to take the club forward and I would also like to thank our amazing fans."
The 21-year-old Frenchman previously played under Saints manager Claude Puel at the Ligue 1 club.
"I am really happy," said Hassen. "It's a pleasure for me to come to England and I am really happy to get to know the Premier League."
Southampton's executive director of football Les Reed added: "He has built an excellent reputation during his time with Nice."
Hassen, who has made 50 first-team appearances for Nice, has represented France at every youth level, from under-16s through to under-21s.
The Saints are also close to completing a £14m deal for Napoli forward Manolo Gabbiadini.

Council plans were for 21 libraries to be community-run but the authority is now proposing that those libraries have some paid staff.
Consultation responses said this was necessary for libraries to survive.
The library budget is being halved in 10 years, from £7.8m in 2010 to £4.2m by 2020.
North Yorkshire County Council said under the new plans the "highest-performing" libraries - Catterick, Colburn, Crosshills, Easingwold, Eastfield, Sherburn, Stokesley and Thirsk - would be given 12 to 15 hours a week of additional support.
Five to seven hours of additional support will be given to the following libraries: Bedale, Bentham, Boroughbridge, Helmsley, Ingleton, Kirbymoorside, Leyburn, Norton, Pateley Bridge, Scalby, Settle, Starbeck and Tadcaster.
The authority said larger, busier libraries in Filey, Knaresborough, Pickering, Ripon and Whitby would retain a 40% staffing level alongside volunteers.
Core libraries in each of the county's seven districts will remain the same with a combination of the current staffing level of 60% and volunteers.
The authority said more than 17,000 people took part in the consultation and councillors were expected to approve the changes next month.
Skinner, 26, recovered from a poor start to beat New Zealand's Natalie Rooney 12-11 in the final.
Corey Cogdell won bronze in a shoot-off for the USA against Spain's Fatima Galvez after tying their match 13-13.
Skinner missed three early shots in the 15-game final, but took advantage after Rooney missed two in a row to win Australia's third gold of the Games.

Areas affected include adult social care and children's services, including children's centres.
The county council said an increase in demand meant it needed to save the extra cash by 2018.
It comes on top of £64m cuts announced last year, when leader Conservative Ian Hudspeth said children's centres were no longer under threat.
Fears that some centres could close sparked protests last year.
A petition signed by David Cameron was presented by about 100 campaigners to the authority in a bid to save the county's 44 centres.
It was later agreed there would be a review to agree how the council could save £3m in 2017.
This latest round of proposed cuts sees the children's services lose an additional £1m next year, and £2m the following year.
However, the authority said there would be "no immediate reductions in services for many months".
Mr Hudspeth, said: "The council is facing unprecedented budget pressures from the rising costs of care and this pressure is expected to continue for many years to come.
"Since 2010, we have had five years of reducing council costs and finding savings of more that £200m."
Labour county councillor Liz Brighouse said none of the county's centres should close, but said because of the "massive cuts in budgets" she did not know how the council could keep them all open.
"We have to make sure centres which are keeping children safe are properly funded and kept open," she added.
A further £2m is set to come from the subsidised transport budget, which includes home to school transport, concessionary bus passes and dial-a-ride.
Another £6.1m would be found from learning disability services.
The council had already announced it would need to find that money and is running a consultation called the Big Plan looking at changing ways in which learning disabilities services work.
There will also be another £3m of unidentified cuts that would come from adult social care.
The annual cost of a resident parking permit would also rise from £50 to £60.
The new cuts would be implemented from next April up until the end of March 2018.
The council's cabinet will consider the proposals on 16 December. Full council is expected to make a final decision in February.
The leader of Oxfordshire County Council sees its financial woes as a clear case for more devolution.
Conservative Ian Hudspeth says its "the only way" the council can keep providing services, as it spends an increasing proportion of its budget on social care.
Certainly, many councils have been frustrated by constraints imposed by central government.
Cherwell District Council has already said it is planning to do without its Revenue Support Grant from 2017, and many have railed against the 2% cap on council tax rises.
But the Communities Secretary Eric Pickles has repeatedly opposed large hikes in council tax as being unfair on families in a difficult financial climate.
If the council did have the power to set its own tax, would residents be happy to pay a different rate to neighbouring counties?
Midwifery sisters Mary Doogan, 57, and Concepta Wood, 51, say being forced to supervise staff taking part in abortions violates their human rights.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde claims conscientious objections do not give them the right to refuse such duties.
The hearing, at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, continues.
Ms Doogan and Mrs Wood sought during a grievance procedure to have confirmation that they were not required to delegate, supervise or support staff in the participation and care of patients through "the processes of medical termination of pregnancy and feticide".
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) rejected their application.
Both women have now gone to court seeking to have the ruling set aside in a judicial review.
They claim that the refusal to recognise their entitlement to conscientious objection was unreasonable and violated their rights under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) guaranteeing the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
They are seeking a finding that their entitlement to conscientious objection to taking part in abortions in terms of the 1967 Abortion Act includes the right to refuse to delegate, supervise and support staff involved in such work.
The women said in their petition that they are practising Roman Catholics and: "They hold a religious belief that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception and that termination of pregnancy is a grave offence against human life."
They maintain that they hold the belief that that their involvement in the process of termination is wrongful and an offence against God and the teachings of their church.
Ms Doogan and Mrs Wood, who are both midwifery sisters at the Southern General Hospital, in Glasgow, worked in the labour ward.
Ms Doogan, from Glasgow, has been absent through ill health since 2010 as a result of the dispute.
Her colleague, from Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, has been transferred to maternity assessment work.
NHS GGC, which is contesting their action, said it recognised their right not to participate in terminations under the terms of the Abortion Act.
But it maintains that it decided correctly that requiring them to delegate staff to nurse women undergoing medical terminations and to supervise and support staff undertaking that duty was lawful.
It maintains that the women's rights to conscientious objection under the legislation does not include the right to refuse such duties.
The board said that its decision respects the women's rights under Article 9 of the ECHR.
The GMB claimed the firm was failing to pay corporation tax and was not offering a "living wage" to employees.
Protests were held outside sites at Doncaster, Swansea, Glenrothes, Gourock, Hemel Hempstead, Peterborough, Milton Keynes, Rugeley and Slough.
Amazon said it paid "all applicable taxes" and offered a "competitive package" to all its employees.
About 20 protesters outside the company's Doncaster site were dressed as grim reapers, wore masks of David Cameron and Nick Clegg and carried a giant mock Anti-social Behaviour Order (Asbo).
Paul Clarke, GMB national officer, said where Amazon differed from other retailers was its "refusal to pay proper taxes or to treat its workers properly".
"Profitable companies like Amazon, dodging fair taxes while failing to pay their staff a living wage and treat them properly, deserve a corporate Asbo," he said.
Mr Clarke said the retailer also denied staff the right to union representation and collective bargaining.
In a statement, Amazon said it employs more than 5,000 permanent employees across the UK as well as thousands of temporary staff, adding it paid "all applicable taxes in every jurisdiction that it operates within".
"We are proud of providing our associates with a safe and positive working environment, which includes on-the-job training and opportunities for career progression," the firm said.
The retailer offered its employees a "competitive package" including performance-related pay, with permanent employees also offered benefits including healthcare and a personal pension plan, it added.
Not only that, the defeat at Gateshead, win at Southport and draw at Halifax have taken in a combined 1,374 miles.
Defender Dean Wells, 28, like most of his team-mates, works as well as plays, and he has combined his job as a school caretaker with the Iron's push for the play-offs.
Here he talks to BBC Essex and gives is his week in his own words.
"I get a 6.30 alarm call from my little boy waking up to be fed. I pick up the gaffer Alan Devonshire at 7.15 before we meet the coach in Peterborough and we're in Gateshead five hours later.
"I play the full 90 minutes. The workrate of the lads, considering the number of games we've had and the travelling, is superb.
"For the first couple of hours on the coach back everyone's quiet. You have to get your head around the loss. But then the boys have a bit of banter and you have to get on with it.
"I roll into my house at about 10 past 11. I'm a massive Brentford fan, so I stay up to watch the Football League Show."
"It's Mother's Day, so I go and see my aunt who has brought me up since I was four.
"I got a bit of rest between 12 and two in the afternoon, had a little sleep and then caught some of the Liverpool versus Tottenham game."
"I'm up for seven to get Joe, the eldest of my two kids, ready for school. Then I'm at the gym for a couple of hours, before I go to work from two until seven.
"I'm a school caretaker at a local primary school in Isleworth. Last season I was doing 36 hours a week, but I've dropped it to 25 hours to fit it around the football.
"It can be anything from litter picking to fixing things in the classroom. It's not too bad. It's the joy of part-time football."
"It's the day from hell. I've never had a day like this.
"After finishing work at seven last night, I'm back in the school for seven this morning. For an away game I usually get a break after work - not today.
Heading into their game against Aldershot on Saturday, 22 March, Braintree were 13th in the Conference Premier.
Six games in 13 days later - and 13 points to boot - has seen them fly up the table to fourth place.
The Iron still have one game in hand on the teams below too.
"I'm superstitious and I like to pack my bag the day of the game, so I couldn't do it last night.
"I'm supposed to finish work at 12, but I ask to leave 10 minutes early to pick my lunch up from my aunt's - she's a better cook than my missus.
"I have to be at the gaffer's for 12.15 and we drive to Corley Services on the M6 to meet the coach.
"To be honest I was more tired driving up than back, because after such a good win you soften the blow a bit.
"Normally I'd get some sleep on the coach on the way back but you're still buzzing from all the sports drinks.
"I get in at half-past three. I'm in bed 15 minutes later."
"I got a decent night's sleep. Six or seven hours. Then it's off to the gym to see how the legs are getting on.
"Working part-time makes the recovery work hard. There's no going in for a warm down or a day off. One of the boys was in at five last night and up at eight for work.
"We get paid money though - it's part of the job.
"Luckily it's parents' evening at the school so my boss has let me come in an hour late, so I'm not in until three. It's off to my aunt's first for some healthy food to repair my body.
"It was Joe's parents' evening yesterday and he got a good report - so I found enough time to tell him 'well done'.
"He said 'well done on the result. Are the play-offs possible?' I said 'We hope so, but we're taking each game as it comes'.
"I haven't seen my six-month-old at all this week. It's not nice, but I'll make up for it when the fixtures are done and dusted."
"Considering the week we've had, I feel quite good. If we lose tonight it might be a different story though.
"I'm a bit stiff but once you start warming up you're fine.
"If we were in mid-table and just going through the motions, you could be disheartened. But the position we're in, we can't afford to have those thoughts.
"The motto at the moment is 'get on with it'. It's about a four-and-a-half hour journey home - so bed at about three.
"Then it's back up for work in the morning."
A woodchip fire broke out in Alexandra Docks, Newport, on 15 December 2015, and three months later there was another in Maesteg, Bridgend county.
South Wales Wood Recycling admitted three environmental charges at Cwmbran Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
The firm was ordered to pay £29,120 in fines, legal and investigation costs.
Company director Dennis Burke, 67, of North Cornelly, Bridgend county, had two charges against him dismissed, as well as a fourth charge against the company.
The court heard the fire at Newport burned for six weeks after a pile of wood chips exceeding 8,000 tonnes caught fire.
The company's permit specified the piles should not have exceeded 7,500 tonnes and be split into two piles with a fire break between them.
Adam Vaitilingam, defending, said the pile built up after two ships which were due to export the wood chips out of the dock were cancelled.
He added that strong winds at the time caused the fire to spread quickly and nearly caused "a loss of life for several members of the team".
In Maesteg, South Wales Wood Recycling had paid a now defunct company to take about 3,000 tonnes of wood chips in anticipation of a new biomass plant being built on the site of the old Llynfi Power Station.
The company said it was under the impression the necessary permit had been secured by that company in order to store the wood chips on the site.
Aled Watkins, prosecuting, said Natural Resources Wales made repeated visits to the Newport site and warned about the dangers of storing the wood in one pile.
Over the course of the six-week blaze at the Newport site, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service crews made 106 visits totalling 888 hours of labour, plus 218 hours spent on the site by fire officers costing a total of £181,524.
The company said it had taken on board the advice from NRW in Newport and "far from ignoring" it, was in the process of trying to rectify the situation when the fire broke out.
The Maesteg fire burned for 10 days and was not on the same scale as Newport, the court heard.
That site is in the final stages of being cleared.
District Judge Martin Brown said: "The company had the foresight of the danger in keeping the material in the form that it did [in Newport]."
The firm was fined £16,000 for the two Newport offences plus £4,000 for Maesteg.
It was also ordered to pay £9,000 in legal and investigation costs and a £120 surcharge.
South Wales Wood Recycling:
The hearings have focussed on the death of Arthur Horrocks, 41.
Nicola Stewart recalled hearing Mr Horrocks give her encouragement before he lost consciousness himself.
His nephew also described trying to rouse him after seeing that his eyes were closed as if he had gone to sleep standing up.
The inquests are investigating the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans who were fatally crushed at the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989.
Mr Horrocks travelled from his home in Wirral with his brother Malcolm Horrocks, two nephews David and Keith Golding, and Keith's girlfriend Nicola Stewart.
The court heard how they went through the turnstiles at Hillsborough at about 14:45 BST then went into pen three on the Leppings Lane terraces.
In Ms Stewart's 1989 statement, she said that the "pressure just continued" to build among the crowd and "then there was one almighty surge".
She continued: "I couldn't move at all. My arms were pinned to my side.
"My feet were pinned to one position on the ground.
"I was screaming and all around me people were screaming as well because the pressure around was so unbearable.
"I was gasping for air, but there was nothing there. I wasn't able to expand my lungs because of the pressure we were all suffering from.... I could feel myself passing out."
Ms Stewart added: "Arthur Horrocks was just behind me. The last thing I remember him saying to me was 'keep your head up, keep breathing' and then he said to Keith 'I can't breathe'. I know I almost went."
David Golding, who gave evidence in court, said that Mr Horrocks was in front of him "within touching distance".
In his 1989 statement David remarked that "as the players came on to the pitch there was a big cheer" and as he looked to his left "I saw that Arthur's eyes were closed and his arms were down by his side".
He told the court: "I tried slapping his face, telling him to wake up. Keith was in a distressed state at this time, and Nicola.
"I said to them 'try and keep your arms up from your sides' so you had a bit of leverage if you needed to push anybody off you.
"But Arthur was just still and his eyes were as though he had just gone to sleep on his feet."
Mr Golding said that slapping his uncle and talking to him had no effect.
He said that shortly after he fell to the floor in the pen and his legs were trapped under bodies and Arthur also fell down.
Mr Golding added: "I didn't see him fall. I just saw him lying on this - what appeared to be bodies."
Former police constable Douglas Earls told the court he went into pen three and gave "six quick breaths and six chest compressions" to casualties he found inside, including Arthur.
Mr Earls said: "By this time I had organised other fans to pass people over the spiked fence to the other side to get him out of the pen."
In his 1989 statement Mr Earls said that Arthur was not breathing and did not have a pulse.
The jury saw video footage of Arthur being carried out of the pen and onto the pitch timed at about 15:25 BST, 19 minutes after police had stopped the match.
BBC News: Profiles of all those who died
Mr Earls said that after they had left the pen Mr Golding recognised his uncle and said "That's Arthur, it's Arthur, make him breathe".
The retired officer said he assisted an ambulance crew to give Arthur CPR and accompanied him to Sheffield's Northern General Hospital.
The ambulance carrying Arthur was seen on CCTV footage leaving the stadium at 15:48 BST.
He continued to receive chest compressions and resuscitation, but a doctor at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital said that he had died.
His body was initially taken to a temporary mortuary set up in the hospital's plaster room.
It was then sent back to the stadium's gymnasium where Malcolm Horrocks, Arthur's brother, identified his body.
The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, continue.
Kelly Ackrill and Ashleigh Davidson, 28, from Ivybridge in Devon, had due dates two weeks apart in January.
But as soon as Kelly went into labour, so did Ashleigh and their babies River and Louella followed soon after.
Ms Ackrill said: "We are really close, we spend a lot of time with each other - but this is amazing."
More on the Christmas babies, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
River was born at 18:40 GMT on Christmas Eve at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth and his cousin Louella followed at 16:00 GMT the following day.
Both sisters are hairdressers and, although not identical, look alike. But there the similarities end.
"We have never experienced anything like it before but it's really odd how they are so close together," said Ms Ackrill.
"At 30 weeks I went into hospital having contractions.
"A few days before I went into hospital Ashleigh messaged me and asked me if I was OK because she kept on getting pains.
"She was convinced she was feeling the same labour pains that I was feeling.
"Ashleigh had been having contractions on Christmas Eve but it was not regular.
"Then I gave birth and the next day she went in and gave birth."
Ms Ackrill now has three sons, including River, and one daughter with partner Aaron Craig. Her sister Ashleigh now has two daughters with husband Tim.
The sisters also found out they were pregnant within days of each other.
"I had a feeling that we we would give birth closer than two weeks apart anyway," added Ms Ackrill.
"There's definitely something there."
Leave racked up 104,166 votes in the county and won with 57% - compared to Remain which secured 78,987 of ballots totalling 43%.
In Telford and Wrekin, the Leave campaign claimed victory with 63% after a total of 56,649 of votes - while Remain took 32,954 - 37% of votes.
The turnout in Shropshire was 77% and in Telford and Wrekin 72%.
EU referendum reaction
Daniel Kawczynski, Conservative MP for Shrewsbury & Atcham, said he was elated by the result.
"It is time to stand proud and tall as the fifth largest economy in the world, a permanent member of the UN security council and a member of the G7.
"This country punches above its weight and I have every confidence in our future."
But Richard Yates chairman of the Shropshire Branch of the National Farmers' Unions said he was concerned for the future of the country and his business.
"I fear it will lead to a break up of the UK. As a farmer and a businessman I am in unknown territory."
Brexit: What happens now?
Lucy Allan, Conservative MP for Telford, said she was pleased the Leave campaign won. She said: "I think it's to do with feeling under-represented, ignored, cut off from the political elites.
"Also it's a question of low wages being undercut by people coming in - those are the issues that people tell me they have concerns about."
Mark Pritchard, Conservative MP for Wrekin who had campaigned to remain in the EU, said the most important thing now was to restore stability in Britain and negotiate the best exit terms.
Gavin Denton, a commuter in Telford who voted to remain, told Radio Shropshire the result was "shocking" and rejected the agreement for a peaceful Europe after World War Two.
"I don't think anyone expected that it would happen," he said.
"I've felt European all my life."
But William Mantle, from Bridgnorth, was happy to be leaving the EU.
"Finally the glasses are off and people can really see what the European Union is all about," he said. "It's a corrupt organisation for the elite."
Thomas Holt, a winemaker who brings his produce from Spain to Shrewsbury, said the result has had an "instant impact" on his business by making his products more expensive.
"I'm very worried about the future, and I think it's a dark day for the UK," he said.
Adam Fejfer, a Polish man working in Shropshire, also said he was worried about the future.
He said: "Probably I will have to spend a few good quid for my British citizenship, which will be expensive for me and my family. I am really scared."
Workers have walked out for 48 hours in the long-running dispute with parent company Govia Thameslink (GTR) over the role of guards on new trains.
RMT spokesman Garry Hassell said the dispute "could last until Christmas".
Southern said the action would "achieve nothing" and it was pressing ahead with its plans.

The latest from BBC Travel
A Southern spokesman said: "This two-day strike will achieve nothing. After many months of trying to reach agreement with the RMT, we are now moving forward with our plans.
"We have guaranteed all our onboard staff a job until the end of the franchise, with no reduction in salary. Our plans are safe, and will mean fewer cancelled trains."
The rail operator said it was running 65% of the 2,020 trains detailed in an enhanced temporary timetable, but conceded many routes would have fewer trains and some would have no service at all.
The latest action follows a series of one-day strikes since April and a five-day walkout last month that was called off after three days.
Speaking to BBC South East Today, regional executive Mr Hassell said: "It could last until Christmas if the company continues not to take on meaningful talks - I believe we've been the doves in this dispute.
"The game's not up because whatever trains they bring, and whatever the name of the company is, the train service must be run safely."
Meanwhile, RMT general secretary Mick Cash said the strike was "rock solid and determined".
Mr Cash claimed it had been "forced" on workers "by the arrogance and inaction of Govia Thameslink and the government, who have made it clear they have no interest in resolving this dispute or in tackling the daily chaos on Southern".
The RMT is fighting moves to re-categorise conductors as "on-board supervisors", with drivers taking over responsibility for opening and closing carriage doors.
The union maintains it has legitimate concerns over safety and job cuts.
The rail operator, which imposed the changes on 21 August after several strikes went ahead, insists the plans are safe and will mean fewer cancelled trains.
The RMT said its fight was with "the company and the government, who have dragged this franchise into total meltdown".
"We cannot sit back while jobs and safety are compromised on these dangerously overcrowded trains," Mr Cash said.
Speaking on Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Cash accused Southern of "trying to railroad through their plans by getting rid of a second safety-critical person", saying the move was "detrimental to passengers and the disabled".
Alex Foulds, Southern's passenger services director, responded: "Our priority is to make our services more accessible, not less.
"There will be an on-board supervisor rostered to work every single train on which we currently have conductors and, because they'll be able to work any of our routes, we'll find it much easier to cover someone who goes sick at the last minute, for example.
"Those on-board staff will be more visible and better able to offer passenger assistance for everyone, including those with disabilities."

There's more to this strike than meets the eye.
It's become a critical battle in a wider war over how the railways are staffed in future.
The government wants to save money and that inevitably means changing the roles of some of the people who work there. Moving to driver only operated trains in franchises is a way to cut costs.
The unions say that threatens jobs, so they've drawn a line in the sand. No more driver-only trains.
Both sides have a lot at stake. Whatever happens with Southern could set the tone for other rail franchises coming up in the future.
Rail bosses said the strike was taking place in the same week Southern reinstated more than a third of train services it had removed from the timetable in July to cope with ongoing disruption.
When the reduced timetable was brought in, the rail company blamed issues with crew availability.
Industrial action by RMT members and high levels of staff sickness had contributed to disruption of Southern services from the south coast into London, but the union denied claims that staff illness was unofficial industrial action.
Rail Minister Paul Maynard said: "Passengers want a railway that works for them and delivers the timely, modern and convenient service they expect.
"They should not have to suffer any further disruption from strikes as the unions try and prevent the delivery of a modern railway, with additional capacity and improved performance."

Dale Heenan, Swindon Borough Council's cabinet member for Highways and Transport, faced a court summons after disputing the amount he owed.
In his resignation letter to council leader David Renard, Mr Heenan admitted he "should not have allowed the issue to proceed so far".
Mr Renard described the matter as "embarrassing" and "difficult".
In a statement, Mr Heenan said he believed he was "entitled to raise questions about the amount being incorrect" and confirmed he has since paid it "in full".
He added the public "is entitled to expect high standards from their elected representatives" and believes "the most honourable course of action" open to him is to "set an example" and resign as a cabinet member.
David Renard agreed that Mr Heenan was right to resign and said: "It's quite clear that the situation isn't one that our councillors should get themselves into.
"We expect all our residents to pay their tax on time and in full and Dale unfortunately fell below the standard that I and most people would expect."
Mr Heenan will remain a councillor for the borough's Covingham and Dorcan ward.
His resignation came about after Private Eye released details gleaned from Freedom of Information requests of councillors across the country who failed to pay council tax.
Only one summons was issued to a member of a Swindon Borough Council, for arrears of £981.62.

The public inquiry, led by Robert Francis QC, was triggered by a higher than expected number of deaths at the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust.
Mr Hunt provided a break down of the cost of providing evidence, in a written statement to Parliament.
It showed the majority of the £6m total (£5,227,000) was spent on legal advice.
The remainder covered the cost of dedicated staff working to prepare the evidence, their travel and subsistence expenses, and "other directly related costs".
Mr Francis's inquiry looked at why the scandal at Stafford Hospital - where there was a higher-than-expected number of deaths as a result of abuse and neglect in 2005-08 - was not picked up earlier.
The inquiry ran for a year between 2010 and 2011, and took evidence from more than 160 witnesses over 139 days, at a cost of £13m.
More than a million pages of evidence were submitted.
The report concluded that patients had been "betrayed" because the NHS put corporate self-interest ahead of patients.
It argued for "fundamental change" in the culture of the NHS to make sure patients were put first.
In his written ministerial statement, Mr Hunt told Parliament officials had compiled the cost of submitting evidence to the inquiry.
"I can now report to the House that the expenditure incurred by the Department and NHS organisations in their role as witnesses amounted to £6m."
He said the government would publish a further response to the Francis report this autumn.
The findings of the Francis report into failings at Mid Staffs prompted a separate review of 14 NHS hospitals in England with high mortality rates.
As a result of that review, 11 of the hospitals have been placed in "special measures" for "fundamental breaches of care".
After three loan spells away from the club he joined as a boy, John Swift decided something had to change. In six years at Chelsea, he made just one first-team appearance, replacing Eden Hazard against Cardiff City in 2014.
But now the 21-year-old has established himself in the Championship with Reading, who are fifth in the table under manager Jaap Stam.
Midfielder Swift's three goals during January not only helped the Royals strengthen their position in the play-off places but also earned him the EFL Young Player of the Month award.
"We're still up there, we're still pushing for promotion and hopefully we can stay there," said Swift, who arrived at the Madejski Stadium in the summer.
"It's a big push, the last couple of months. But I'm sure all the boys will keep doing the right things and stay up there until the end of the season.
"Personally, I'm just glad to help the team keep up there in the league and I'm buzzing to win the award."
Swift, who scored on his debut against Preston North End in August, hit the ground running after signing a three-year deal with the Royals.
The England Under-21 international has excelled in the number 10 role and has given Stam another dimension in midfield. Swift has slotted comfortably into Stam's possession-based style of play and his eye for goal has seen him score on eight occasions already this campaign.
Reading finished 17th last season but, with 12 matches remaining, they are now primed for a charge to the Premier League.
It would be an unorthodox route to the top flight for Swift, with loan spells at Rotherham, Swindon and then Brentford coming prior to his permanent switch from Chelsea.
"As soon as I got here, I fitted in straightaway, all of the boys greeted me and I just got on with it really," he said.
"I have been on a few loans so it was quite easy to fit into the team. I am all settled now and just concentrating on the league.
"He [Stam] was a top-class player so he knows everything about the game and exactly what he wants from his team. He gets his point across very firmly and all of the boys really respect him."
Sarries were crowned Europe's best for the first time at the weekend after beating French side Racing 92 21-9.
The London club have also finished top of the Premiership table in their bid to secure a domestic-Euro double.
"We lose, we go on holiday, we win, we have a chance of winning the title, which is our aim," said Cockerill.
"Everything rests on this weekend. It's all for us to do, but great motivation for us and the games you want to play in."
Leicester were 21-13 winners in their last encounter with Saracens, who are also defending Premiership champions, in March.
But they were beaten 26-6 at Allianz Park in January, underlining the size of their task, although the expected return of Manu Tuilagi, Mike Fitzgerald and Brendon O'Connor will boost selection options.
Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester: "We've been there a few times and never won on that plastic pitch and not played well enough.
"We know how tough it's going to be and they already have a trophy in the cabinet as European champions.
"But this is a different scenario, a semi-final, and a great opportunity for us. We know on our day we can beat anybody and we just have to get it right."
The stock soared on Thursday after making its Wall Street debut.
Snap closed 44% higher at $24.48, valuing the company at $28bn, after it raised $3.4bn in the richest US technology company listing since Facebook in 2012
Shares in Shap went even higher on Friday.
However, analysts have given mixed views on the future of Snap, debating whether it can emulate the success of Facebook, sending shares down $3.32 to close at $23.77.
It remains unclear whether Snap can expand beyond its core base of young users, or how it will fare in many international markets in a competitive social media environment.
Five of seven financial analysts covering Snap advised investors to "sell" the stock, with none advising them to buy, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Needham analyst Laura Martin rated Snap as "underperform" and compared the shares to buying a lottery ticket.
History suggests investors shut out of IPOs are better off waiting instead of rushing to buy them immediately after their debuts.
Globally, shares of most of the 25 largest technology IPOs have languished in their first 12 months after listing, with 16 posting significant falls from their debut day closing price, according to Reuters analysis.
There was more bad news for Snap on Monday after a group representing big US institutional investors asked index providers S&P Dow Jones Indices and MSCI to bar the company - and others that sell investors non-voting shares - from their stock benchmarks.
Both index providers have said they are reviewing Snap's inclusion.
If it was added to indexes such as the S&P 500, managers of stock index portfolios would have to buy Snap shares, and other investors whose performance is tracked against such indexes would likely follow suit.

The proposal with The Silvertown Partnership includes an avenue of "brand pavilions" and 1,500 homes.
It is hoped the plans for the Newham site, owned by the Greater London Authority, could create 9,000 jobs and add £6.5bn to the economy by 2038.
A planning application will be submitted over the next year.
As part of the plans a new bridge will be built, connecting the area to the ExCel and providing access to a new Crossrail station.
Mr Johnson said: "The confirmation of this deal to return Silvertown Quays to its former glory will bring thousands of new homes and jobs back to east London."
Elliot Lipton of The Silvertown Partnership said: "Stand-alone brand pavilions have been built for the last decade around the world but this will be the first time that a brand park has been developed.
"These pavilions will also allow global brands to influence the online spending decisions of customers, which will be worth up to a total value of £221bn by 2016."
Sir Robin Wales, mayor of Newham, said: "This proposal will help to unlock future developments and investment."
If approved it is hoped work will begin in 2014-15 and first businesses will move in by 2017.
Stephen Palmer, 68, who was a curate in Stubbington in Hampshire at the time, was found guilty in May following a trial at Portsmouth Crown Court.
The court heard Palmer indecently assaulted the girl multiple times at his house in 1975.
The Diocese of Portsmouth said it was "distressed" by the conviction.
The court heard Palmer would wait until his wife had left the house to take their two children to school, before he would start assaulting the 17-year-old girl.
Sentencing him to 39 months in prison, Judge Nigel Lickley QC said Palmer, now of Turriff, Aberdeenshire, had abused his position in the church.
"You've shown or expressed little remorse for the charges against you," he said.
Palmer will have to serve at least half of his sentence before he can be considered for release, the judge said.
During his career, Palmer also served in the Isle of Wight, the Falkland Islands and as a Royal Naval Reserve chaplain, as well as being appointed as a chaplain to the Queen.
A statement issued by the Diocese of Portsmouth said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim, who has had to live with the consequences of these assaults for many years.
"Since the 1970s, safeguarding procedures and policies have been transformed in the Church of England, as well as in society generally. The safety of the children and young people in our care is paramount."
Bentley Priory, in Harrow, was home to Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding's Fighter Command in the summer of 1940.
On the 70th anniversary of the decisive clash - in which the RAF repelled a German bid for air supremacy - Harrow Council permitted the museum.
A developer will also be allowed to build 103 homes on the site.
The rooms of Bentley Priory's Grade II-listed mansion house will now be open to the public for the first time in 80 years.
The museum is intended to pay respect to the Battle of Britain's RAF pilots, of whom Winston Churchill said: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
Bill Stephenson, leader of Harrow Council, said: "This decision will mean the spiritual home of the few is preserved for all.
"We must never forget the courage and sacrifice of the RAF pilots and ground staff during the Battle of Britain.
"Their actions truly changed the course of history in Europe and helped give each and every one of us the freedoms we enjoy today."
Air Chief Marshal Sir Brian Burridge, chairman of the Bentley Priory Battle of Britain Trust, said: "This represents the culmination of five years' hard work to ensure the priory and all it stands has a future as a museum.
"There is now much work to do in fundraising - and Churchill would have recognised that, 'This is not the beginning of the end, merely the end of the beginning'."
He was asked to leave after listening in to opposition manager Derek Adams' conference.
Westley initially refused before Adams cut short his briefing and left.
"The press officer asked me to leave, I was a bit confused and bemused by it," Westley said.
"But I then left the room. He [Adams] stormed out. His choice, let's move on.
"I was asked to come and speak to the press. So I walked into the press room, the other manager was speaking.
"He's welcome to come and listen to me. I've got nothing to say that I'm scared of him hearing. I stood on the side of the room politely."
Newport secured an FA Cup second round replay against League Two rivals Plymouth after playing nearly an hour of the game with ten men after Sean Rigg's first half dismissal.
During the week Westley defended his conduct after a row that saw club secretary Graham Bean leave after just three weeks.
Bean said he quit the club because of a rift with Westley, who was appointed in October, but the manager said Bean was dismissed.
The club confirmed Bean's departure but said they were not investigating Westley, despite reports to the contrary.

"I haven't forgotten how to play football. I am no longer a kid. I've wasted too many chances."
Balotelli is taking a pay cut to move back to Milan, with Liverpool also paying some of his wages.
He scored only one Premier League goal for Liverpool after a £16m move from Milan in August 2014.
The ex-Manchester City player is set to make his second debut for the Rossoneri against Serie A rivals Empoli on Saturday.
Balotelli scored four goals in 28 appearances across all competitions for the Reds following his arrival a year ago.
But he was left out of the pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia and trained away from the first team before rejoining Milan.
Reds manager Brendan Rodgers signed forwards Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino and Danny Ings, while Divock Origi is back at Anfield after a year on loan at Lille.
"I take my responsibilities, but the system chosen by Rodgers wasn't suited to my characteristics," Balotelli said on Milan's official website.
"Mario Balotelli has left Liverpool for AC Milan on loan - and very few at the club will ever wish to see him back at Anfield again.
"The Italian was a £16m panic buy last season when manager Brendan Rodgers was faced with the choice of the veteran Samuel Eto'o, Balotelli or no-one at all. After stating "categorically" he would not sign Balotelli, Rodgers would have been better with no-one at all.
"In every respect Balotelli was a terrible fit for Liverpool. A maverick with no team ethic, he was also completely at odds with the intense pressing style Rodgers employs.
"It was an expensive gamble that failed miserably and Rodgers and Liverpool will now hope it is behind them."
Balotelli has scored 13 goals in 33 appearances for Italy, but has not been picked for the national side since the 2014 World Cup.
Now he hopes his move back to Milan can lead to an Azzurri recall in time for next summer's European Championship in France.
"Yes, I am thinking about it. I want to play well for Milan and earn the Italy shirt again. But for now I simply have to work," he said.
"One step at a time. If I score lots of goals then maybe I will be in France. I want to play at the European Championship - I will do everything I can to achieve that.
"To see me again in the Italian national side was one of my father's wishes before he passed away. I owe it also to him."

Derek Serpell-Morris, 74, who played sets at Glastonbury and gigs across the UK, disappeared from his home in July.
His great-niece Jennifer Griffiths has been sent a photograph which was taken at Waterloo Station on Monday evening.
She said the resemblance was "uncanny" and he owned the same hat and scarf. "My gut is telling me that it's him," she said.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said the photo had been handed to the investigations team and was forming part of their inquiry.
The picture was shared on social media and was passed to Ms Griffiths on Wednesday morning.
She said: "As soon as saw it my stomach turned. I thought, 'oh my God'.
"There were so many resemblances - the way he's dressed, underneath the coat he was smartly dressed.
"He also has a scarf and hat exactly like that. The only thing I can think is that he's lost his mind and doesn't know what he's doing."
Ms Griffiths said other family members who have seen the photo also think it is of him.
"The resemblance is uncanny," she said.
Martin Ball said he and his friend, who took the photo, spoke to the man for about five to 10 minutes.
"He looked like he was struggling. We asked if he was okay.
"He seemed quite intoxicated, he started singing. We don't know if he was drunk.
"Now I have Googled 'DJ Derek', we are 100% certain it was him. I would be very shocked if I found it wasn't."
Ms Griffiths said she was planning to contact all the homeless shelters in London, and to put up posters in the city.
Other forces carried out simultaneous raids in Newport, South Wales, Tavistock, Devon and Par in Cornwall.
All those charged were due at the respective magistrates' court earlier.

People living near the blaze, at the Wastebeater facility on Blackstaff Road off Kennedy Way, have been advised to keep their doors and windows closed.
The alarm was raised at 16:00 BST on Wednesday.
Twelve fire engines and 75 members of the fire brigade were at the scene on Wednesday night.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) said a large quantity of rubbish was on fire, creating a blaze stretching across 120m and reaching up to two floors in height.
Group Commander Keith Black said: "The fire is creating a high volume of smoke in and around the area and a plume across the M1 motorway.
"NIFRS would ask the public to avoid the area, both in vehicles and on foot in order to leave emergency access available at all times.
"People in commercial premises or housing in the vicinity of the fire should keep doors and windows closed to avoid the smoke."
BBC reporter Catherine Morrison said it was a major incident.
"Household waste has gone on fire this afternoon," she said.
"There is a huge quantity of black smoke, which you can see right across the city."
She said onlookers and media had been moved back as the smoke has increased.
A spokesman for Wastebeater said: "We acknowledge the inconvenience caused to local people and we will do all that we can to minimise disruption over the hours and days ahead.
"We have contingency plans in place to deal with any major incident and those plans were activated immediately. We are contacting our customers and they can be assured that despite this setback, we will be open for business as usual tomorrow and their waste management service will not be impacted."

And Booth says criticism of Ford's form so far this season is unjust.
"Some of the things that have been written about him are ludicrous, absolutely ludicrous," Booth told BBC Radio Bristol. "I'm delighted for him, he showed what a quality player he is."
Booth paid tribute to his entire team after their late heroics at the Ricoh Arena saw them bounce back from two straight Premiership defeats.
"I'm delighted for the lads because there have been some things written about them that I think have been unjust," he said.
"To show that sort of character, shows a lot about the players the play for Bath.
"Everyone is turning over stones to get the victories we so desperately want. The lads as they have gone through a lot of soul searching and effort off the pitch to make sure they are ready and that result pays them back."
Head coach Mike Ford revealed Friday's training session had been full-on affair with players angered by recent comments about their performances..
"It was a bit edgy, showing that players care about the position we are in," said Ford,
"There weren't fisticuffs or anything, but there were a few handbags thrown, and it just showed to me that the players - not that I needed to be shown - care about the position we are in, and it means a lot to them.
"Results had not gone our way. We took a lot of criticism for not being where people think we should be - but we are keeping the faith.
"Every game is small margins but we have confidence and belief in what we are doing."
David Cameron said an international dementia institute would be established in England over the next five years in a bid to make the UK a world leader for research and medical trials.
Some 1.3 million NHS workers will also receive additional training in how to care for people with dementia.
The PM said dementia was "one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime".
There are approximately 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, with the number expected to hit a million within the next 10 years.
The government said a separate multimillion-pound fund would be launched within weeks to help establish an international investment scheme to discover new drugs and treatments that could slow the onset of dementia, or even deliver a cure, by 2025.
It hopes the global fund will bring together investment from the private, public and philanthropic sectors under a single scheme to pay for research projects into the disease.
Faster assessments by GPs are also included in the prime minister's challenge on dementia 2020 plans.
The prime minister first launched the dementia challenge for England in March 2012, building on the previous government's national dementia strategy.
Mr Cameron visited High Wycombe to meet people with dementia and dementia friends – people who are able to spot signs of the illness and help sufferers.
He said: "What today's announcement is about is a very simple but bold ambition, and that is to make the United Kingdom the best place on the planet in terms of researching into dementia, in terms of diagnosing people with dementia and then in terms of treating, helping and caring for them."
The NHS workers receiving extra training on how to provide best standards of care for people with dementia will range from surgeons to hospital porters, the government said.
There are also plans to give three million more "dementia friends" training in how to support those with the condition.
Other pledges include having the majority of people in England living in "dementia-friendly communities" in five years' time by making shops, transport and other public places more accessible to people with the condition.
Labour's shadow health secretary Andy Burnham welcomed the announcement but said more needed to be done to support dementia sufferers now.
He said: "Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable older people have lost social care support since David Cameron entered Downing Street. Social care in England is close to collapse but this government is in denial about it."
Professor Simon Lovestone, from Oxford University, said recent trials for new drugs had failed.
"We now need to do better clinical trials, we need to do them earlier in the disease process, and for that we need tests for early diagnosis and we need better drugs," he said.
"And I think that the announcement that's been made today, together with the investment that's already been made in the UK, puts the UK at the leading front of a truly international effort that will actually deliver on this."
Professor Nigel Hooper, dementia researcher at the University of Manchester, told BBC Breakfast £300m was "a great investment" but said cancer research received five times as much funding globally as dementia.
Initial dementia assessments will take place in an average of six weeks and will be followed by support such as informing sufferers of local services that can help them, as well as advice for their carers.
Police and ambulance crews found the 39-year-old man in a Volvo in Milwards, Harlow, at about 23:45 BST on Sunday.
He was taken by paramedics to Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow, where he died in the early hours of the morning.
Three men aged 24, 35 and 40, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in police custody for questioning.
Det Insp Stuart Truss said: "We are still unclear on the events leading up to the man's death.
"We would like to speak to anyone who may have been in Milwards between 23:00 BST and midnight, and who may have information as to what occurred there."
They argue that more than half of emissions of CO2 should be covered by a carbon price within a decade.
India has also called on rich countries to put a tax on coal to help poorer nations adapt to climate change.
These calls came ahead of a UN ceremony where some 155 countries are expected to sign the Paris Climate Agreement.
Race to ratify the Paris climate deal
Putting an effective price on carbon has long been the favourite method of most economists in dealing with climate change.
In 2006 Sir Nicholas Stern's landmark review of the costs of climate change found that establishing a carbon price was essential to dealing effectively with the problem.
Since then attempts have been made, with mixed success. These have included cap and trade schemes in many parts of the world, where a limit on emissions is established by governments and permits are issued to heavy carbon users. If they cut back on their emissions they can trade the permits on the market.
Schemes like this have been criticised for being too generous to polluters, often issuing them with free permits. The European Union's flagship Emissions Trading Scheme almost collapsed because of this practice in recent years.
Other countries have adopted a more straightforward carbon tax as a means of getting polluters to cut back.
So far around 12% of the world's emissions are covered by such schemes. This new coalition of political leaders and financiers says that has to improve significantly if the world is to keep global temperature rises below 2 degrees.
The group includes the Prime Ministers of Canada and Ethiopia, the Presidents of Chile, France and Mexico, the Chancellor of Germany and the head of the IMF and World Bank.
They believe that the world can achieve 25% of emissions covered by carbon pricing by 2020 while half the world's output could be covered by 2025.
"There is a growing sense of inevitability about putting a price on carbon pollution," said World Bank President Jim Yong Kim in a statement.
"Prices for producing renewable energy are falling fast, and putting a price on carbon has the potential to make them even cheaper than fuels that pollute our planet."
Without giving too many details, the leaders believe that carbon pricing can be expanded in three ways - by increasing the number of governments putting a price on carbon, by deepening existing carbon pricing programs, and by promoting global cooperation.
"We should now follow up the Paris Agreement with adequate actions, national policies, investment schemes and regional and international initiatives and partnerships, said Ethiopia's Prime Minister Dessalegn.
"I iterate Ethiopia's commitment to the global efforts to overcome dangerous climate change and ensure sustainable development. We will use every policy instrument, including carbon pricing, which is found to be effective, efficient and fair."
India was also keen to promote the idea of carbon pricing before the UN signing ceremony here in New York . They are promoting the idea of a tax on coal.
The country recently increased its tax on mined coal to $6 a tonne, a significant increase from $1. India's environment minister Prakasj Javadekar believes the world, especially the wealthier countries, should now follow suit.
"If they follow India and levy a tax of $5-$6 a tonne on coal production, $100 billion can easily be mobilised," he said, speaking to news agencies.
Mr Javadekar said this would be a highly effective way of funding climate adaption in poor countries around the world while incentivising a transition to greener energy sources.

The Indian-based firm announced it was selling its loss-making UK business in March, putting thousands of jobs at risk, including 4,100 at Port Talbot.
There are two known bids, while the UK government could take a 25% stake in any rescue and may allow changes to Tata's pension scheme to help the sale.
But the steel market has picked up.
On Wednesday, Tata reported that losses narrowed in its fourth quarter.
It has led to speculation in the national media that the firm could perform a U-turn and not sell up.
"If that is the case, fine," Aberavon MP Mr Kinnock told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme.
"If they do want to stay we would welcome that in principle," he said.
"But I would also say in practice steelworkers in my constituency, their families and communities around them have been through hell in the last few years and certainly since March when the sale was announced.
"I think they'll be forgiven for treating any news that Tata is staying on board with a degree of scepticism and even anger.
"So I think we need a very clear set of guarantees from Tata that they will be in it for the long run, that there will be investment and they will be doing what's needed so we're not back at square one 12 months from now."
Czech Kvitova, the 24-year-old sixth seed, has not reached a Grand Slam final since she beat Maria Sharapova to win the Wimbledon title in 2011.
Bouchard, 20, is the first Canadian to play in a major singles final.
The 13th seed, who reached the last four of the Australian and French Opens this year, is yet to drop a set.
Complete order of play
Eugenie Bouchard [13] v Petra Kvitova [6] (14:00 BST)
For much of this year's Wimbledon Championships, talk has surrounded a supposed changing of the guard in both the men's and women's games.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Though the men's final features familiar faces Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, we witness the beginning of a new era in the women's game, with two players born in the 1990s in a Grand Slam final for the first time.
For Bouchard, the 2012 girls' champion, a run to the final might represent natural progression following two Grand Slam semi-final appearances already this year, but this is still only her sixth appearance in one of the top four tournaments.
Her route to the final could have been blocked by Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova but, instead, she disposed of their respective conquerors, Alize Cornet and Angelique Kerber.
But she saved her most impressive performance for the semi-final, brushing aside Simona Halep, the third seed and form player of the past 12 months, in straight sets.
If she is successful, Bouchard will become the youngest Grand Slam winner since Sharapova's victory in the 2006 US Open final aged 19.

For that to happen, she must find a way past Kvitova, a name not often mentioned as part of the new breed, but still only 24.
The left-hander is bidding to become only the fourth multiple Wimbledon champion since 1990, following Steffi Graf and the Williams sisters.
On her run to the final, Kvitova has not had to beat an opponent ranked inside the world's top 10, a trend that will continue when she meets world number 13 Bouchard.
However, she did defeat five-time champion Venus Williams in round three before beating fellow Czechs Barbora Zahlavova Strycova and Lucie Safarova in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively.
Regardless of the result, 2014 is the third successive year in which the first three Grand Slams will be won by three different players, following Li Na's success at the Australian Open and Sharapova's Roland Garros victory.
Bouchard: "I'm looking forward to having my toughest match at Wimbledon yet. I'm going to go out and really just try to go for it and take my chances. I know I'll have really tough opposition. That's what you have to expect in a Grand Slam final.
"I'm still in the middle of a tournament so I'm not really looking at outside things or focused on all the other attention because I don't want to get distracted. After the tournament I can reflect on it. It's my dream to play a big match like this."
Kvitova: "I learned a lot in 2011. It was a big surprise for me that I was in the newspapers and everything. I didn't know before how it feels. I'm used to it now and I know probably how to handle it. I hope this experience can help me.
"Bouchard is playing a very solid game. I beat her for the first time last year in Toronto, but it's a long time ago. It was on the hard court. This is totally different. I have to use my left-handed serve a lot and to be aggressive. That's my game. That, I think, can be the key. "
Bouchard has a twin sister named Beatrice, who is six minutes older. The siblings are named after Prince Andrew's daughters.
Kvitova was involved in the first all-left-handed Grand Slam semi-final in 22 years when she beat Lucie Safarova. The last time two left-handers played in a Grand Slam semi was at Wimbledon in 1992, when Monica Seles beat Martina Navratilova in three sets.
Defending champions Bob and Mike Bryan play in the men's doubles final - their first Grand Slam decider since winning the title at SW19 12 months ago.
The American twins have a record 15 Grand Slam doubles titles, including three at Wimbledon, and will play American Jack Sock and Canadian Vasek Pospisil, who are first-time finalists.
Italians Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci go into the women's doubles final knowing a win will see them secure a doubles career Grand Slam.
The second seeds reached their first Wimbledon final by beating ninth seeds Andrea Hlavackova and Zheng Jie, and will face Hungary's Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic from France.
Errani and Vinci won the French and US Opens in 2012 and are the defending Australian Open champions. Victory on Saturday would see them become the first pair to complete the Grand Slam set since Venus and Serena Williams in 2001.
The men's wheelchair doubles also get under way, with Britain's Gordon Reid and Tom Egberink of the Netherlands facing a tough semi-final against defending champions Shingo Kunieda from Japan and Frenchman Stephane Houdet.

A Northern Ireland Water spokeswoman said the burst was at the Castlereagh Road and Prince Regent Road junction.
A scheduled repair took place between 01:00 BST and 08:00 BST on Friday. The company said afterwards, some homes experienced low water pressure.
It said while up to 12,000 customers could have been impacted by the burst, they had less than 100 no water calls.
"When a water distribution system drains down, it takes time for the system to charge following the restoration of supply, having additional staff on the ground would not quicken this process up," NI Water said.
"Therefore, resources were not an issue on this incident and further resources could have been deployed if they had been required.
"NI Water regrets and apologies for the inconvenience caused to those customers but would be satisfied that every possible step was taken to ensure this disruption was kept to an absolute minimum."
Turkey - a long-standing supporter of the Syrian rebels is drawing ever closer to both Russia and Iran - President Assad's closest allies.
The US and Russia have long been seen as having incompatible goals in Syria, with Moscow backing the Assad regime and Washington seeing his departure as an essential pre-condition for the defeat of so-called Islamic State.
But the two have now been meeting for weeks in search of a deal.
In the coming days, US Secretary of State John Kerry will again meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov with conflicting reports as to whether some kind of understanding is possible.
The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan too is engaged in high-level talks - with an important visit to Tehran thought to be in the offing.
But as a corrective to any undue optimism there's also just been a reminder of how close the crisis in Syria really is to a major escalation.
Last week, US F-22 warplanes were scrambled to provide cover for US special forces who were operating alongside Kurdish fighters near Hasakah in north-eastern Syria.
The Kurds had come under attack from Syrian warplanes after local Kurdish commanders and the Syrian regime had a major falling out. The Americans have made it clear that they will not hesitate to shoot down any Syrian aircraft that endangers their forces.
So what is going on?
In a sense, the Kurds are at the heart of the problem.
Fighters from the Kurdish Popular Protection Units - also known as YPG - are among America's most effective allies in the struggle against IS.
Up to now, the Assad regime has largely left the Kurds alone; both sides having bigger problems with IS.
However, these air strikes seem to signal a new strategy in Damascus; perhaps Kurdish advances are now proving a threat to Mr Assad as well.
But the risk now is clearly of an encounter between US and Syrian warplanes in air space where Russian jets may also be active.
The Kurds are also the principal reason for the Turkish government's change of heart.
Ankara's efforts to back Sunni Arab fighters against the Assad regime have had little strategic success.
Turkey's long-time blindness to the problem posed by IS has also come back to haunt it, and Turkey now faces a twin terror threat from both Islamic State and separatist Kurdish fighters.
The Turkish government has signalled that it is prepared to switch tack, searching for a common approach with both Moscow and Tehran.
It has certainly not discovered a sudden enthusiasm for President Assad.
But it now sees the chaos in Syria as leading only to one thing - the emergence of an autonomous Kurdish entity on its border - which Ankara fears will only encourage militancy among Kurdish groups inside Turkey.
That is something it sees as a fundamental threat.
American support for the Kurds in Syria only makes matters worse, inevitably causing serious friction between Ankara and Washington.
Turkey's diplomatic switch also marks a recognition that Russia's intervention in Syria has profoundly changed the military balance there.
The Assad regime remains embattled and its forces over-extended.
Look at the back-and-forth struggle for control of Aleppo, for example.
But Russian air-power and Iranian-backed militias and Hezbollah fighters have made a huge difference on the ground.
Mr Assad may not win in any meaningful sense, but he looks certain to survive.
The US has been forced to accept the new Russian-imposed strategic reality as well.
Its efforts to find so-called moderate Syrian forces to confront the regime have proved half-baked and sometimes almost farcical.
As the blood-letting continues, the US is desperate to find some avenue to bring about progress; hence its opening towards Moscow.
As veteran US commentator Prof Tony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC notes, in the absence of alternatives, the US is being compelled to seek the "least bad option - ie trying to get an understanding with Russia," he says.
"The US would like to begin with something approaching a ceasefire, except for strikes on IS and Islamist extremist groups.
"It wants to get humanitarian relief flowing, and to broker some kind of government where Assad would go, and a better and more democratic government would emerge.
"The greatest immediate risk is that the war grinds on indefinitely with Assad seemingly ascendant, and Russian regional influence slowly increasing," he warns.
"Tensions with Turkey, increases in Iran's influence, more sectarian and ethnic conflicts, and the break-up of Syria are all possible additional risks."
Nobody doubts the stakes involved.
The question for the Americans is can Russia be trusted?
The Pentagon is unenthusiastic about any deal.
As Prof Cordesman notes: "There is a lot of concern that Russia has emerged as a major spoiler in the region; that any co-operation agreement will unravel or be violated; and that President Putin's growing influence will mean more Russian adventures and a willingness to take risks."
How much hope should be invested in a putative US-Russia deal?
Prof Cordesman highlights a fundamental question: "Is any form of Syrian stability now practical? Even the best US-Russian agreement won't unify Syria, bind regional armed factions, return refugees to their homes, or produce instant political unity," he argues.
"It could be a first step in the right direction, but only that," he adds.
This, then, is what this week's diplomacy is partly about - taking that initial first step in the right direction.
But it is also about so many other things as well: Turkey's strategic priorities; Russia's regional role; President Obama's desire to salvage something from the Syrian crisis and so on.
Meanwhile, the suffering continues.
There will sadly be more pictures of shell-shocked Syrian children on the front pages of the world's newspapers.
It doesn't look as though there can be any fundamental regime-change in Syria without the total collapse of the state.
And if that were to happen, who would step into the void?
This crisis is nowhere near an end-game and the chaos in Syria looks set to dog the next US administration just as it has thwarted President Obama's efforts to turn America's attention away from the Middle East's wars.
The 29-year-old, who beat Novak Djokovic in the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday, has been tipped to be named in the New Year honours list.
However, the Wimbledon champion and successive Olympic gold winner said he could "still mess up" and "make mistakes" in his career.
Murray was previously honoured with an OBE after winning the US Open in 2012.
In order to receive an honour, the names of nominees must be put forward by members of the public or government departments before being considered by a selection committee.
Their assessments are then passed to the Queen through the prime minister, who then informally approves the honours.

Murray became tennis world number one at the beginning of November after a year which saw him reach 12 finals in 13 events and achieve an impressive 24 wins in a row.
Among those calling for him to be recognised are businessman and TV personality Lord Sugar, while former prime minister David Cameron said back in 2013 that he could not think of anyone "more deserving" than Murray of a knighthood.
Speaking about the possibility, Andy Murray said: "Obviously it is the highest honour you can get in this country. I don't know, I feel too young for something like that.
"I don't think about that stuff much, really. When I win any award or am presented with anything it is nice because it is recognition for what you have given your life to, up to now anyway.
"I am still young and there are still a lot of things that can go wrong, I could still mess up and make mistakes. Do stuff wrong. I am just trying to keep doing what I am doing, working hard, and achieving stuff."
While a knighthood remains a possibility, Murray is now favourite to be named this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year - an accolade he has already won twice.
However, he said his focus now was the impending wedding of his father, which would make it difficult for him to attend this year's ceremony.
He added: "I don't think I am going to be able to go this year. I've got my father's stag do next weekend, then he is getting married the following weekend.
"So I will go up to Scotland on Saturday, come back down to London for four or five days then come back up to Scotland. Then I go to Miami the day after my dad's wedding."
A whistle-blower claimed some clients intended to earn hundreds of thousands of pounds in subsidies.
The plan involved installing wood boilers to heat empty buildings.
Auditors said the scheme, which had been over generous and open to potential fraud, left taxpayers with a bill of at least £150m over five years.
The Department of the Economy said it had no plans to publish an internal review of how the scheme had been run.
The review was commissioned by the department and the regulator, the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem), which helped administer the programme in Northern Ireland.
A separate independent audit has been commissioned by the economy minister, Simon Hamilton.
It is expected to report in the Autumn.
The renewable heat incentive scheme was introduced to encourage firms to switch from oil or gas to wood burning boilers.
It was part of a Northern Ireland Executive initiative to meet renewables targets.
A Northern Ireland Audit Office report in July 2016 found it had been overly generous and not properly controlled or monitored.
There was no cap on the subsidy payments. The more heat you generated, the greater the subsidy you were paid.
More than 2,000 applications for the subsidy have now been reviewed. A percentage of them are now being visited and checked.
Any abuse of the scheme could lead to disqualification or potential prosecution. Participants will have to prove they installed the wood boilers to replace existing forms of heat.
It has been claimed that some were put in for the sole purpose of claiming the subsidy.
It was a stunning result for a party which had seen two previous administrations overthrown by a coup and a controversial court decision, and whose supporters had just the year before been involved in an occupation of Bangkok, which ended in bloodshed.
An essential part of Ms Yingluck's winning manifesto was a generous promise to rice farmers. That is at the heart of the legal case against her.
Under the new scheme the government was supposed to buy the entire rice crop, and pay 15,000 baht (£350; $450) per tonne, well above the 11,000 baht guaranteed by the previous government. It was wildly popular with farmers.
But economists and agricultural experts immediately questioned its viability. The price of 15,000 baht was significantly higher than the global rice price, and Thailand exports more of its crop than any other country - it was the world's number one rice exporter at the time.
Its principal rivals India and Vietnam, it was predicted, would simply increase their exports at Thailand's expense, offering a price much lower than the Thai government could, unless it was willing to incur huge losses. And there were many warnings that the scheme was vulnerable to corruption.
Six years later Ms Yingluck faces a possible 10-year prison sentence on charges of malfeasance, or dereliction of duty, over the rice scheme. She has not been charged with corruption, but with failing to prevent it, in her capacity as prime minister and as chair of the National Rice Policy Committee.
If convicted she could be permanently banned from politics - she has already been banned for five years after being impeached in 2015.
Unsurprisingly Ms Yingluck and her party have cried foul.
After all her government was overthrown, in 2014, by the same army officers who now run Thailand.
They justified their coup by the need to restore order, but had conspicuously failed to offer her support as she faced sustained protests in Bangkok, which had crippled her administration. The military is not seen as impartial, and it wields authoritarian powers, even extending to judicial cases.
The rice scheme was inordinately expensive and wasteful. The exact cost, of rice that rotted in storage, that was stolen or improperly sold, is still disputed. But the government estimates it cost the state at least $8bn - some estimates go as high as $20bn, although these include the overall cost of the subsidy, not just losses through corruption and mismanagement.
The scheme did raise farmers' living standards, but was almost certainly unsustainable.
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence of corruption, although few cases have yet gone to court. The best-known case, in which a former commerce minister and 27 other defendants are accused of an allegedly fraudulent government-to-government deal to sell rice to China, will conclude on the same day Ms Yingluck hears her verdict.
Ms Yingluck argued in court that she was not responsible for day-to-day running of the scheme, and that as a key policy platform when she was elected she could not order it to be cancelled. She pointed to what she believes are multiple procedural flaws in the case.
Whatever the merits of the case against her, few observers doubt that the military government wants to see Thaksin Shinawatra's political movement weakened before it allows the restoration of some kind of democracy.
Ms Yingluck is very popular, and an effective vote-winner. With Mr Thaksin entering his 10th year of exile, his party is struggling to find a replacement leader.
But her fate presents Thailand's current rulers with some dilemmas.
If she is acquitted Mr Thaksin, who is protective of his younger sister, might be emboldened to push for a greater share of power in a post-election Thailand than the military is willing to accept. An acquittal would outrage hard-line conservatives, and those who led the protests against the Yingluck government.
If she is sent to prison, hard-line opponents of the Shinawatra clan would be satisfied, and she would be completely removed from politics. Convicting her would also help the generals to justify their coup, as part of a fight against corruption.
But it risks making the telegenic Ms Yingluck into a symbol of resistance for the so-called red-shirt mass movement that supports her.
Red-shirt leaders acknowledge that mobilising large-scale protests against a conviction would be difficult under a military government. They have ruled out any repeat of the occupation of central Bangkok that ended so badly seven years ago.
But they say they would view a conviction as the first shot in a re-ignited conflict with the military, as an end to any pretence of reconciliation. And they do not rule out localised demonstrations of anger by Ms Yingluck's supporters.
This worries the government, because it wants calm in the run-up to the elaborate cremation of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej in October. It will also need to be mindful of the wishes of King Vajiralongkorn, who is expected to hold a coronation ceremony not long after the cremation.
A possible compromise might be a suspended prison sentence for Ms Yingluck. This is possible if she receives less than five years. Even if she is given a custodial sentence, government legal experts say she can appeal. But that would depend on her. She might choose not to.
Behind all of this lies the jostling for a new balance of power once the generals allow an election to take place.
In that election, polls suggest Pheu Thai will be the largest party, as it has been in every election since 2001, although the new electoral system will almost certainly ensure it does not win a majority of seats in the lower house of parliament.
But the political parties will have to contend with a 250-seat senate entirely appointed by the military, and with a military-drafted reform blueprint for the next 20 years, which all governments are legally required to honour.
In this environment no-one is sure who is in line to be the next prime minister. In the past in Thailand, elected governments were able to concentrate a lot of power and patronage in their hands. That will no longer be the case.
Some in Pheu Thai believe it might actually be better for the party to have a spell in opposition - that the first elected government will be so constrained by the courts and the generals it is not a prize worth having.
The military itself is factionalised, and it is not clear that the current ruling clique will remain dominant. Another important unknown is what King Vajiralongkorn wants.
The intimidating shadow of the lese majeste law makes any discussion of his role impossible in Thailand, but he has already made it clear that he wishes to be consulted on important decisions, and that he is willing to exercise his influence in ways that his father did not.
He may prove to be one of the most important factors in reshaping Thailand's future.
Save the Children is reporting that every day, about 1,300 people - at least 800 of them children - are arriving at the Dadaab refugee camp.
The monthly number of new arrivals has more than doubled in a year, it says.
Aid workers at the camp say the children are exhausted, malnourished and severely dehydrated.
The situation in Somalia is exacerbated by the conflict between Islamists of al-Shabab and Somalia's transitional government, backed by African Union peacekeepers.
The United Nations refugee agency says there are 117,497 Somalis who have also crossed into Ethiopia - 31,000 in the past five months fleeing from drought and conflict.
Save the Children says some families are walking for more than a month to reach the camp in Kenya.
The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) estimates that 2.5 m Somalis are currently affected by drought, with 58% living in the South of the country.
But as many as a million have been beyond the reach of the WFP since January 2010, says WFP's Peter Smerdon in Nairobi.
"We are not working in areas of the South controlled by al-Shabab after our teams were threatened, intimidated and there were demands for payment," Mr Smerdon told the BBC.
The conflict in Somalia forces many to head for the Kenyan border but a severe drought and the unaffordable cost of food has made the situation worse.
Made up of three settlements, Dadaab is often referred to as the largest refugee camp in the world.
"A mother arrived at one of our feeding centres saying she'd actually left her children behind in a village because she couldn't watch them die," Sonia Zambakides, Save the Children's Emergency Manager for Somalia, told the BBC's World Today.
"She had walked away and left her six children in a house.
"Two of them ended up dying and we managed to reach four others.
"Children are arriving into Dadaab barefoot, after walking six weeks," Ms Zambakides said.
"They're covered in sores and wounds, they're acutely malnourished, they're completely dehydrated and that is preferable to the conditions they are living in in south-central Somalia."
The conflict in Somalia forces many to head for the Kenyan border but a severe drought and the unaffordable cost of food has made the situation worse.
Dadaab is home to well over 350,000 people, but was built to hold just 90,000 and is severely overcrowded.
The humanitarian agency Medecins Sans Frontieres says many of the new arrivals are in desperate need of healthcare.
It says almost half of the children arriving there have never had a vaccination.
With the Somali conflict continuing and several more months of drought expected, conditions in the already overcrowded refugee camp are likely to get even worse.
Efforts to decongest the camp and relocate the refugees have so far made little difference.
But the drought is now being felt across a vast region of the Horn of Africa, with areas of northern Kenya and Ethiopia also affected.
It appears as both a watermark and hologram on the note, which otherwise largely resembles its predecessor.
Other notes will likewise be reissued in what is only the second series of euro banknotes since the single currency's launch on 1 January 1999.
The new series will be phased in over several years with the five-euro note entering circulation in May.
Europa has featured on some euro coins before.
The new notes are appearing at a time of continued uncertainty about the 17-nation eurozone's stability. Last year there was intense speculation that struggling Greece might have to exit the eurozone, so some may see it as ironic that a Greek goddess is now the face of the euro.
In order to use up remaining stocks in many eurozone countries, the original five-euro notes will be issued for several months alongside the new ones. The two series will circulate in parallel as legal tender.
The ECB has not yet set a termination date for the first series as legal tender, and says the deadline will be announced well in advance.
In Greek mythology, Europa was a noble Phoenician woman whose beauty inspired the god Zeus to seduce her. He appeared to her as a white bull and carried her away to Crete. Later she bore Zeus three sons, one of whom, Minos, became ruler of Crete.
The image used on the five-euro note comes from a vase in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The vase is more than 2,000 years old and was found in southern Italy.
Having made Vineries Close in Sipson their home since 2010 they are not prepared to give up their self-built homes easily and have offered their supporters workshops and coaching lessons in how to defend the land.
There is fighting talk from the group of squatters who, under the name of Grow Heathrow, have occupied a slice of greenbelt land in west London for the past four years, seducing their supporters with a post on their website, offering up nature's rewards.
"If Grow Heathrow hasn't been evicted, we're going to bottle loads of blackberries. Bring clean empty jars and you will earn respect, win honour and know true righteousness. If we have been evicted, we'll just go and eat blackberries."
The 15 full-time activists and their hundreds of supporters have cleared the site of 30 tonnes of rubbish and created a self-sufficient community, all in defiance of a third runway being built at Heathrow.
Behind the "doors" they care for the land, building homes from trees, selling produce in the local shop and offering workshops on subjects from bike maintenance to foraging, for anyone who wishes to join them.
The group wanted to create a "place of resistance" for Sipson residents who had seen "the heart ripped out of the community" with the buy-up of land and property by the airport in anticipation of a new runway.
But while Sipson properties may have been spared under new plans, which would see a potential runway built further west than originally proposed, the Grow Heathrow protest site still lies in its path.
The land is owned by businessman Imran Malik and although the activists have garnered support from local residents, MPs and even a judge, they have been told that despite the commendable work it is time to hand the land back to its rightful owner.
Last year Mr Malik, represented by Burch Phillips & Co Solicitors, secured a ruling to evict them, a decision that was upheld during a challenge by the activists at the Court of Appeal in July.
The result means the bailiffs are due to arrive later.
Georgia Woods, 21, who moved to the site when she was 18, said: "It's very hard not knowing what's going to happen and for the incredible space to be threatened."
The squatters moved onto the site in March 2010 but it is not just a point they wanted to make, it was also about trying to save homes and livelihoods.
Ms Woods said: "We don't get paid but we all have to do things that make the site run, like growing food or running the free community workshops.
"With the solar panels and wind turbine we have more than enough energy for phones, lights and music. We have totally normal electricity but you learn to appreciate the weather so much more.
"It's really understanding the power of community and a gift economy."
Ms Woods' home has come from the land too.
"Mine's made out of hazel and it's just very small and has got a little woodburner which we built," she said.
"We're happier and creating a lighter footprint on the world rather than causing harm to someone through our consumerist polluting lifestyle."
Despite the idyll of living on a currency-free land, Grow Heathrow does recognise harsh reality and has been trying to buy or rent the land from Mr Malik.
The group has so far offered £50,000, which they say is "above market value" and would have been generated through a crowd-funding project.
John McDonnell, MP for Hayes and Harlington, who has supported the squatters "from the first day" said: "We've been trying to get involved in some formal negotiations and asked them to get around the table, we're quite happy as a community to rent the site.
"We've heard nothing back from the solicitors, but the door is always open."
Whether or not it is right that an MP supports the squatters, Mr McDonnell said it had been a "tremendous success and a brilliant asset".
"It's a demonstration that a small part of land can be so environmentally sustainable, it's a shining example of what you can do through voluntary effort and what Grow Heathrow have done is turned it back to what it was, an environmental benefit for the area," he said.
However, little consideration has been given to what happens after the bailiffs arrive.
Rob Hickley, 32, a gardener, said: "We're not really thinking that far ahead yet, but with the relationships made over the past five years perhaps people will stay with others in the community.
"People will be made homeless as a result of this."
Heathrow Airport said it recognised that as well as "bringing huge advantages to the UK and the local people" a new runway would have "downsides for people living nearby".
It said: "That is why we have rejected our previous plans for a third-runway and have put forward a new option further to the west of the airport, which strikes a better balance between the need for growth and local communities like Sipson."
That is of little consolation to the squatters, who will be evicted regardless of where a runway could eventually be built.
Ms Woods said: "It's been four and a half years, we had no idea it would last that long. We thought it was going to be squatted for potentially months, so it has been a success.
"Everyone's pretty apprehensive and it's pretty scary, but we're not doing anything wrong, we're doing amazing things."
Mr Malik attended the site with the bailiffs on Friday morning but declined to comment on the situation.
The Team Sky rider won the national title in 2014 and 2015 - the first man to defend the jersey in a decade.
"It's not often I get a chance to show off the jersey on home roads, so I'll feel proud," he told BBC Radio York.
"I did a race near my home on the Isle of Man recently and it was great."
The three-day race, which is in its second year and a legacy of when Yorkshire hosted the Grand Depart of the 2014 Tour de France, starts on Friday, 29 April with a stage from Beverley to Settle.
Saturday's second stage goes from Otley to Doncaster, with a women's one-day race featuring Britain's world champion Lizzie Armitstead, preceding it.
The third stage takes the 138 riders from Middlesbrough to Scarborough via the North York Moors and six categorised climbs.
"My team-mate Ben Swift, who is from Yorkshire and knows the roads but is not riding in the race, has been giving me pointers," continued Kennaugh who emulated Roger Hammond in winning successive British titles.
"The roads sound similar to what I'm used to on the Isle of Man, lots of ups and downs and small twisty lanes.
"For any rider targeting the overall win, the plan will be to stay out of trouble and not lose any time on the first two stages, which are likely to end in bunch sprint finishes, because stage three with all the categorised climbs will decide the overall winner."
Kennaugh added that it was a race he had been targeting "from the start of the year" but his preparations have been hit by illness and his focus for the race has shifted.
"I have struggled through April and I'm just getting over the illness and back in the swing of things now so I'll be there to support whichever Team Sky riders need my help during the race.
"On a personal level getting through the race will be good for me but as a team we are going for the overall victory and a stage win would be a bonus.
"My team-mate Lars Petter Nordhaug is the defending champion and he should be up there again."

Health Minister Michelle O'Neill made the announcement on Thursday and Ms Foster said the decision was approved by the whole Executive and was supported by medical evidence.
As BBC News NI Political Correspondent Stephen Walker reports, it comes in a week when DUP Education Minister Peter Weir visited an Irish language school and Martin McGuinness went to the Somme.
Hilary Benn will be shadow foreign secretary in the new Labour leader's first shadow cabinet.
Lord Falconer will be shadow justice secretary, Angela Eagle will be shadow business secretary and Lewisham MP Heidi Alexander will oversee health.
Chuka Umunna said he was leaving the front bench by "mutual agreement".
Mary Creagh, shadow international development secretary, said she was also returning to the backbenches.
Ms Eagle was also announced as shadow first secretary of state and will deputise for Mr Corbyn at Prime Minister's Questions when David Cameron is away.
Seema Malhotra has been named shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, while Diane Abbott - a high-profile supporter of Mr Corbyn - is shadow minister for international development.
It was confirmed earlier that Rosie Winterton will continue as chief whip and Ian Murray will continue as shadow Scottish secretary.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said Mr Corbyn has achieved part of his first goal as leader - to include people from the centre of the party, including well-known names.
But our correspondent added many MPs will find the appointment of Mr McDonnell - a key ally of Mr Corbyn on the left - "very hard to stomach".
In other developments:
Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson had urged MPs to back Mr Corbyn.
But the other leadership candidates Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall, as well as Ms Creagh, Tristram Hunt, Rachel Reeves, Chris Leslie, Jamie Reed, Emma Reynolds and Shabana Mahmood said they would not serve in Mr Corbyn's shadow cabinet.
Ms Cooper will, however, chair a new party taskforce on refugees.
Mr Umunna - who pulled out of the leadership race days after declaring his candidacy earlier this year - described leaving the shadow cabinet as one of the most difficult "personal political decisions" he has had to make.
"Whilst there is much on which Jeremy and I agree, there are a number of key points of difference on policy which I believe it would be dishonest to deny exist," he said.
He added he would "find it difficult to abide by the collective responsibility" of being in the shadow cabinet - "not least on the European referendum".
Mr Corbyn has said he is not content with the EU as it stands, but wants to stay to fight for a "better Europe". He had previously refused to rule out campaigning to leave.
Few MPs backed Mr Corbyn in the leadership contest - which he won with 59% of the vote - but his deputy Mr Watson told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show there was "zero chance of a coup".
He did however concede that he had differences with Mr Corbyn over the leader's desire to scrap the Trident nuclear deterrent and take the UK out of Nato.
But he said his message for those refusing to serve in the shadow cabinet was "there's always someone else that can do a front bench job".

The 30-year-old had been available since his release from Notts County earlier this month and has signed a two-year deal at Rovers.
Burgess joined County in 2010, but ended last season at Cheltenham on loan, where he helped the Robins to the League Two play-off final.
He will join Rovers ahead of the new season, with his contract coming into effect on 1 July.
Rovers manager Ronnie Moore told the club website: "I'm delighted that Ben will be signing for us, we beat off several other clubs to secure his signature.
"Ben is the first of many new faces we'll have this summer and hopefully we'll have some more over the next few days and weeks." | The government spent £6m on submitting evidence to the Francis inquiry into Stafford Hospital failings, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has revealed.

On Wednesday Bloomberg reported the figure citing unnamed sources.
Takata has acknowledged some airbag inflators explode with too much force and spray metal shrapnel into the car.
The fault has been linked to the loss of ten lives globally, according the US traffic safety authority.
Takata's shares plunged 20% after the report which called it the "auto industry's biggest recall ever", but were in positive territory on Thursday.
"We have not announced anything to the effect of the report, and it is untrue that we have calculated the estimated costs (of the recall)," the Tokyo-based company said in a statement.
It also said that it was difficult to determine the recall cost given the investigation into the cause of the exploding airbag inflators was still underway.
In a worst-case scenario, Takata's recall would involve 287.5 million airbag inflators, Bloomberg reported.
The latest official figures provided on 22 January said the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had recalled more than 5 million inflators, bringing the total recall to more than 28 million inflators in the US.
In November, Takata agreed to pay a $70m fine for safety violations and may face deferred penalties of up to $130m.
As Christmas fast approaches, the lists of little girls and boys the world over are expected to be dominated by techy toys - including the return of some familiar favourites.

It was 1998 when the world first met Furby.
Cute, talkative little creatures, the Furby range featured a revolutionary feature: infrared eyes which meant the toys could communicate with each other.
It could also "listen" to conversations, and would, with a little pat-on-the-head encouragement, be taught to say a selection of words.
At the time, Furby was considered so advanced, that the US government banned the toys from its National Security Agency offices - lest it repeat top secret information to unofficial ears.
Thankfully, there were no confirmed reports of intelligence leaks, and years later, the Furby is making a comeback.
This time, its infrared eyes have been replaced with two small LCD screens, its body has more motors and sensors than before and - here's the clever bit - the Furby of 2012 comes with its own smartphone and tablet app, allowing for a much more interactive experience.
The app will even translate Furby's warblings into English.
"We've reinvented Furby with advanced technology that brings a whole new way to play to kids," the company gushed.
"The personality of each Furby appears to evolve by the way children play with it, and every unpredictable action and reaction helps make each Furby seem unique."
But Furby certainly isn't the only toy to be making use of mobile apps to enhance the play experience, says John Baulch, publisher of Toy World magazine.
"The best of these app toys, they really do significantly enhance the play value of what you get out of it," he says.
"It adds a real wow factor to toys. It's what kids really want these days."
"Toys have always harnessed new technology - because kids are getting more technologically savvy and literate."
Among the most exciting, he says, is Wowwee - a Hong Kong-based firm specialising in robotic toys and other hi-tech playthings.
Top of their success list is App Gear, a range of games which use augmented reality to create stunning interactive levels out of real places. Using either a smartphone or tablet, players end up shooting aliens around their living room, or fighting off a zombie apocalypse - all apparently standard activities for any modern day playtime.
"The entire App Gear range is based on toys that have got this kind of app angle to them," explains Mr Baulch.
"Creating apps and products to work together perfectly."
Even toys you may consider to be traditional are getting the augmented reality treatment.
German company Ravensburger has been making both adult and children's games since 1884, specialising in intricately made jigsaw puzzles.
The company's more recent innovative successes include 3D puzzles, but when it came to competing with the popularity of virtual games, they encountered a problem, as company marketing manager Benn Bramwell explains.
"The jigsaw puzzle is very difficult to recreate on a computer."
"You can obviously try it with other puzzles - but there's something about it that doesn't come across as well as doing it in person."
The company's digital division took on the task of reinventing a game that had remained largely untouched since it was first conceived.
In the company's new augmented reality range, a completed puzzle comes to life. Placing the last piece on the Underwater Realm puzzle, for instance, means the puzzle can be brought to life through another use of augmented reality.
With app-powered toys becoming something of a must-have gift this Christmas, parents protective of their expensive, sticky fruit juice-free tablets may have cause for concern.
Risks of soiling aside, parents also harbour worries over the safety of leaving children to enjoy playtime with a fully internet-enabled device.
Which is where the booming children's tablet market comes in.
"We designed it so I could regain my tablet back," jokes Tracey Devine, marketing director for InspirationWorks, makers of Kurio, a children's tablet.
"Whether you agree with it or not, we know that two-year-olds are playing with tablets. What we've tried to develop is something specifically for them that's safe."
It's becoming a crowded market. Children's tablets - which like normal tablets have apps and web browsing - are springing up in toy shops the world over. Efforts from kid tech veterans VTech and Leapfrog have all earned strong reviews from technology pundits.
The scene is becoming so competitive, children's tablets even have their own patent battle dispute - with manufacturer Fuhu is suing retailer Toys R Us for allegedly copying its ideas.
Scuffles aside, those in the toy trade believe tablets are going to be huge - not only this Christmas, but for many more to come.
Beneath the usually rubber-padded surface, children's tablets are remarkably similar to today's normal tablets.
The Kurio, for instance, runs the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Google's Android operating system - that's the same as the top-end models from the likes of Samsung.
But of course, there are alterations. Parents can set the tablet to disable the internet, or a programme in a white list of accepted sites, or a black list of unacceptable ones.
There are suggest presets for certain ages. For under 12s, it removes social networks (with the exception of child-friendly sites like Moshi Monsters and Club Penguin).
To prevent sneaky, under the covers sessions on Angry Birds - the tablet can be set to switch off automatically after a child's bedtime.
In the new year, the Kurio tablet - like its competitors - will be expanded with a whole range of add-on accessories and dedicated apps.
It's all adds up to being an exciting time for both children and toymakers, says Toy World's Mr Baulch.
"Tablets should do astonishingly well this Christmas," he says.
"Where they get the sweet spot right, they produce something that takes toys to the next level."
More than 400 homes in south, mid and west Wales were left without power but it has been restored to the majority.
Two vehicles were damaged when a tree fell into the road in Carmarthenshire and a Flintshire school shut its nursery due to an unsafe tree nearby.
A weather warning was lifted on Tuesday evening as conditions began to ease.
Coastguards in Swansea recorded gusts up to force nine (up to 54mph), while 70mph was also recorded at Aberdaron in Gwynedd.
Some Holyhead to Dublin ferries had to be cancelled and rail and roads were also affected.
The power cuts affected homes in Monmouthshire, Powys, Ceredigion, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Carmarthenshire, according to Western Power Distribution which published online updates about the disruptions.
Mid and West Wales Fire Service said crews were called after a large tree was blown on to two parked cars in Llangennech, Carmarthenshire, bringing down power cables and blocking the road for about an hour before being cleared.
Flintshire council said the nursery class at Ysgol Croes Atti school in Flint was shut due to health and safety reasons over an unsafe tree.
And the nearby Flintshire Bridge, linking Connah's Quay and Flint on the A548, was also shut all day.
Neighbouring Denbighshire council said the A525 Wrexham to Ruthin road had to close on the Nant y Garth Pass between B5429 (Pentre Celyn) and B5431 (Llandegla) due to a fallen tree.
And one lane on the M48 over the Severn Bridge was also closed in both directions with speed restricted to 40mph in Monmouthshire.
Meanwhile, buses replaced trains between North Llanrwst and Blaenau Ffestiniog due to flooding in Gwynedd.
Further afield, the winds have claimed a woman's life after a falling tree hit her opposite Hyde Park Barracks in London.
Hurricane Gonzalo caused widespread damage and a power blackout when it hit Bermuda last week, with damage caused to houses and power lines downed.
Latest figures show 15.8 million people play sport or exercise at least once week, a drop of 0.4% since 2012.
Former Sports Minister Richard Caborn said the fall was "disappointing" and a sports charity said the Games' promised long-term legacy had not yet emerged.
Sport England said participation had risen by 1.7 million since 2005.
Figures show the number of once-weekly participants has dropped by 8,700 since the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Sport England data reveals the biggest decline is among people from ethnic minorities and economically-deprived groups.
BBC analysis of the data found five of the nine regions in England recorded a decline in sports participation.
The biggest drop was in Yorkshire and Humber where a 1.7% decline equates to 67,100 fewer people regularly participating in sport or exercise.
Helen Marney, from the Yorkshire Sport Foundation, said London 2012 provided an initial boost but a long-term legacy had yet to emerge.
"Like other parts of the country, we did see more people wanting to do sport after 2012, but we have to remember it takes more than an Olympics games on TV to get people active," she said.
"A lot of the reasons why people don't get into sport come down to the individual themselves. Do they have the time, money and the facilities nearby?
"But yes, I would say that the legacy of London 2012 hasn't delivered what we wanted to see."
Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, saw the biggest fall of any area in England, registering a decline of 13.2%. Oxford saw the biggest increase, of 14%.
Data shows there are continuing challenges in getting people from economically-deprived or ethnic minority backgrounds involved with sport and exercise.

People in the poorest social groups saw the biggest fall in participation.
Over the four-year period this group saw a 2.9% decline in activity, a fall of 365,100 people.
Those from an ethnic minority background also saw a decline in participation over the same period.
According to the data, 80,300 fewer people from this group were playing sport, a fall of 1.4% from 2012.
However, the figures do show that the number of young people aged between 16 and 25 playing sport has increased since London 2012 with 3.8 million under-25s now taking part, an increase of 1.4%.
Those working within grassroots sport say there is no one single reason to explain changing rates of participation.
Sport England, however, says that since 2010 the amount that local councils invested in sport had fallen by £389m.
According to its figures in 2013/14 local authorities invested just over £1bn in sports projects, a fall of 27% compared to 2009/10.
Phil Smith, Sport England's director of sport, said: "Since London won the right to host the 2012 Games, over 1.7 million more people in England are playing sport regularly.
"That means we're the first host nation ever to deliver the legacy of getting more people active.
"Building on that success we now want to look beyond the numbers; to how sport changes lives and is a force for social good.
"This is why Sport England is tripling the amount it invests in tackling inactivity and focusing on people who are typically much less active."
Richard Caborn, who was Sports Minster in 2005, when London was awarded the 2012 Games, said: "The world 'legacy' was used in our bid from the start and it was taken very seriously. We wanted a million more people to be doing two hours of sport a week as part our plan.
"I'm disappointed that since 2012 there's been a fall but going forward we have to make sure that we get more money into grassroots sport. That means funding things like Parkruns and community projects and not just focusing on giving big sport associations lots of money and then letting them to decide how best to use it."
As part of its annual Active People's Survey, Sport England interviewed 170,000 people by telephone, asking them how often they participated in sport or regularly exercised.
Data for sports participation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is collected separately and by using a different survey method, meaning it is not directly comparable.
The BBC has also excluded data collected about the City of London and the Isles of Scilly due to the small sample size of the surveys conducted.
Michael South hit a double-decker Coastliner bus on the A64 at Flaxton, near York, at 20:30 BST on Friday.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. Five bus passengers were hurt and the driver suffered serious leg injuries.
Tributes have been paid to Mr South, who was described as a "role model" to youngsters at Huby Cricket Club, where he was a member.
Club secretary Ken Piercey told BBC Radio York: "He joined as a teenager and enjoyed it. He was a good club man, he was a good role model for the young teenagers.
"It's a blow to the club and we are going to miss him."
Police said nobody else was in the ambulance and it did not belong to the NHS.
A Toyota Yaris was also involved in the three-vehicle crash, with one person in the car taken to hospital.
The hosts had the better of the first half but, once again, struggled to turn that dominance into goals.
Jodi Jones had a couple of efforts miss the target, while Marvin Sordell finished the best move of the game with a scuffed shot that drifted wide as the home side tried to break the deadlock.
Oldham midfielder Paul Green saw his low-range strike deflected wide 10 minutes before the break and then fired the ball over the crossbar from the resulting corner.
The best opportunity of the period fell to Coventry's Marcus Tudgay on the stroke of half-time - but he headed Lewis Page's inch-perfect cross wide of the target.
Impressive Sky Blues full-back Jamie Sterry was carried off on a stretcher at the start of the second half after taking a horrible blow to the head and that cleared the way for Oldham to have their best spell.
Ollie Banks and Green both fired over for Latics, while striker Lee Erwin, who was quiet in the first half, smacked against the bar from the edge of the box.
Banks had two efforts saved by Reice Charles-Cook as the visitors sensed they could claim a late win but Coventry finished the stronger of the two as eight minutes were played out with each side awarded a point.

Brown won a thrilling match 6-4 but Clarke had a chance to win with her final arrow needing a 10.
However she could only manage a seven, allowing World and European champion Brown to claim victory.
Brown, 24, the tournament favourite, said: "To win in front of a home crowd is so much better than Beijing."
"It is incredible and it hasn't really sunk in yet," she added.
Brown had reached the final after a comprehensive 6-2 win over Russian Marina Lyzhnikova while Clarke, who celebrated her 30th birthday on Sunday, put in a superb display to beat another Russian Stepanida Artikhinova, who won the test event in the same venue in May when she defeated Brown.
The British pair shared the first two sets but Brown pulled 4-2 ahead after winning the third set before Clarke hit back to take the fourth.
Brown shot three nines in the decider and after Clarke shot a 10 and an eight, she knew that a 10 would win or a nine would set up a shoot-off but the seven left her with silver, although she was still happy with her achievements.
"To get into the final was brilliant and to shoot against another Briton was incredible. I shot really well and am very proud," said Clarke.
"A silver is fantastic and to go one better than I did in Beijing is brilliant. If you are going to meet your team-mate, do it in the final so you are both guaranteed a medal."
Brown has a neurological problem called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome which gives her chronic pain in her feet, but the adrenalin from competing helps to ease the pain.
As well as her achievements in disabled competition, she also won gold for England in the compound team event in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, but she admitted that the pressure had affected her at London 2012.
"I tried to tell myself all the way through that this was just another tournament and I can shoot well under pressure, but when I actually got here it was crazy," she told BBC Sport.
"I couldn't have anticipated the atmosphere in my first match and I didn't put in the best of performances, but I got that out of the way and today was much better, although I was still shaking a bit."

Ers bore dydd Iau mae rhai ffyrdd wedi cau a mesurau diogelwch mewn grym cyn gêm y merched nos Iau.
Roedd y Prif Weinidog Carwyn Jones yn agor yr ŵyl ym Mae Caerdydd am 11:00 wedi i'r tlysau gyrraedd.
Yn ôl Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru hwn fydd y "parti mwyaf fydd y brifddinas yn ei weld".

"Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at y pedwar diwrnod nesaf. Rydyn ni eisiau rhoi amser grêt i bobl," meddai.
Cyfaddefodd y byddai cau ffyrdd yn cael effaith ar drafnidiaeth, ond dywedodd mai diogelwch cefnogwyr yw'r mater pwysicaf.
Roedd y tlysau yn cyrraedd trwy law un o arwyr pêl-droed Cymru, a chyn chwaraewr Juventus, Ian Rush.
Roedd yn cyrraedd ar gwch ac fe wnaeth Mr Jones ddod i'w gyfarfod wrth y cae pêl-droed newydd sy'n arnofio ar y dŵr yn y bae.
"Mae cael y ffeinal yma yng Nghaerdydd yn anhygoel," meddai Rush.
"Roedd Euro 2016 yn anhygoel, ond mae hyn yn ei gymryd i'r lefel nesaf. Pan fydd pawb yn mynd yn ôl ddydd Sul, bydd Cymru ar y map ar lefel byd eang."

The attacks happened in Drumchapel at about 18:50 on Saturday. Police said a group of men were involved in an altercation outside the BetFred bookmakers in Hecla Avenue.
Two men, both 38, were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with stab wounds. Their conditions have been described as stable.
Police have appealed for witnesses.
A 39 year-old woman was also taken to hospital for treatment to a hand injury and has since been released.
Det Sgt Raymond Sagan, of Drumchapel CID, said: "From our CCTV inquiries so far, we can see that there is a large group of around 20 to 30 people standing outside who all witnessed what happened.
"It is absolutely crucial that these people come forward and speak to us as they will hold vital information that could help us trace whoever is responsible for this violent attack."
The generals who ran the country suppressed almost all dissent - symbolised by the house arrest of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi - and stood accused of gross human rights abuses, prompting international condemnation and sanctions.
A gradual liberalisation process has been under way since 2010. The country is expected to see a major shift after the government changed hands early in 2016.
The dominance of the largest ethnic group, the Burman or Bamar people, over the country's many minorities has been fuelling a series of long-running rebellions, although a gradual peace process yielded a draft ceasefire deal in 2015.

President: Htin Kyaw
Htin Kyaw was sworn in as president in March 2016, ushering in the first democratically elected government into office after decades of military rule.
Rightfully, the job belonged to Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been the face of the pro-democracy movement and who endured decades of house arrest and harassment by military rulers without ever giving up on her non-violent campaign to unseat them.
But Suu Kyi was barred by the constitution from becoming president, and she made it clear that whoever sits in that chair will be her proxy. She has said repeatedly she will run the government from behind the scenes.
Htin Kyaw will be remembered by history as the first civilian president for Myanmar and the head of its first government to be elected in free and fair polls.
The military retains considerable amount of power in the government and parliament.
Myanmar's media have seen a gradual easing of strict state controls imposed after the 1962 military coup.
Under reforms introduced since 2011 by a new government, Myanmar has unblocked international news websites, emigre news websites and YouTube. In 2012, it lifted pre-publication censorship for the press and allowed privately-owned daily newspapers to publish.
But the state still controls the main broadcasters and publications.
1057 - King Anawrahta founds the first unified Myanmar state at Pagan and adopts Theravada Buddhism.
1531 - Toungoo dynasty reunites country as Burma.
1885-86 - Burma comes under British rule.
1948 - Burma becomes independent.
1962 - The military junta takes over, initially in the shape of a single-party socialist system.
1990 - Opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) wins landslide victory in elections, but the military ignores the result.
2011 - The military hands over to a nominally civilian government following elections the previous year.
2015 - Elections. Opposition National League for Democracy - led by Aung San Suu Kyi - wins enough seats in parliament to form a government.
Another man arrested, Monir Ahmed Alaaj, was also on a wanted list, Belgian prosecutors said.
Three members of a family accused of harbouring Abdeslam have also been detained.
French President Francois Hollande said he expected Abdeslam to be extradited to France "as rapidly as possible".
The raid in the district of Molenbeek came after Abdeslam's fingerprints were found in a flat in another Brussels district, which was raided on Tuesday.
Abdeslam, who has been at large since the attacks on 13 November, was wounded in the leg as police moved in. Dramatic footage showed him being bundled into a police car after a volley of gunfire.
One of Europe's most wanted men, Abdeslam is a key suspect in the jihadist attacks in Paris in which 130 people died.
Salah Abdeslam's luck runs out
Molenbeek raid: As it happened
The suspect who Belgian authorities described as the most wanted man in Europe, was discovered in a raid in an ordinary terraced town house, next to a pharmacy, a mile from Brussels city centre: Number 79 Rue des Quatre Vents.
The masked officers from Belgium's special intervention squad are still on the streets here, but it is calm and forensic teams and sniffer dogs are slowly working through building. Torch lights are flashing within. The downstairs window is smashed.
Several objects have been taken from the property, as the first pieces of evidence are gathered in what will be a long investigation to follow.
Many families living here have been evacuated and are still waiting to return to their homes. Some have filmed the scenes on their mobiles, of the moment the raids started.
The French president said Abdeslam's arrest was an "important moment" but added that it was not the "final conclusion".
"We must catch all those who allowed, organised or facilitated these attacks and we realise that they are a lot more numerous than we thought earlier and had identified," he said.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said the raid had come after "intense" detective work and said it was a "very important result in the battle for democracy".
All those detained would be interrogated, prosecutors said, who added investigations would continue "day and night".
Prosecutors said the second wanted man arrested in Molenbeek, Monir Ahmed Alaaj, had travelled with Abdeslam to Germany last October, where his fingerprints were taken during an identity check.
A false Syrian passport in Alaaj's name and Belgian identity papers under an alias were found in a flat in the southern suburb of Forest that was raided on Tuesday.
Abdeslam's fingerprints were also found in the Forest flat.
One man - identified as Algerian national Mohamed Belkaid and linked to the Paris attacks - was shot dead in Tuesday's raid.
Officials said at the time they believed as many as two other suspects may have escaped.
Belkaid is believed to have used a false ID in the name of Samir Bouzid, while crossing the border between Austria and Hungary with Abdeslam and another man last September, the Belgian prosecutor's office said.
The false ID was also used four days after the Paris attacks at a Western Union office in Brussels to transfer money to Hasna Aitboulahcen. Belgian prosecutors say she was the niece of the suspected Paris ringleader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
Both Abaaoud and Aitboulahcen died during a police raid on a flat in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis on 18 November.
Abdeslam, a 26-year-old French national born in Brussels, had lived in Molenbeek before the Paris attacks.
He is believed to have returned to Belgium immediately after the attacks, in which his brother Brahim blew himself up.
In January, police said they may have found a bomb factory in the Schaerbeek district of Brussels used as a hideout by Abdeslam.
Police found traces of explosives, three handmade belts and a fingerprint of the suspect.
Abdeslam has been the subject of a massive manhunt since the attacks, claimed by militants from the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.
Officials have identified most of the people they believe to have carried out the assaults.
Most of the suspects either died during the attacks or were killed in subsequent police raids.
Parts of Brussels were sealed off for days after the Paris massacre amid fears of a major incident.
A number of suspected attackers lived in the Belgian capital, and police have carried out a series of raids.

Holyrood's Europe committee convener, Joan McAlpine, said MSPs needed to be consulted about the "Great Repeal Bill" planned by Theresa May's Conservative government.
She told BBC Scotland's political editor Brian Taylor: "I think there would be a huge constitutional crisis.
"I think it is really important to remember that Theresa May in this whole process when she became PM she started off on the right foot she came right to Scotland, she told us we were going to be involved, she wasn't going to trigger Article 50 until such time as she had a UK-wide agreement.
"Now she has gone ahead an said she is going to trigger Article 50, but she does not have UK-wide agreement."

Bringing Lebanon's designers online
Tracking Miss Daisy
They are the ones who flock to his warehouse sales, snapping up the cut-price designer label fashion he has sourced from across Europe and beyond,
But now Mr Jaber is hoping those same customers might put more of their money into the firm, this time as investors.
His business, The Outlet, is one of the first to appear on Eureeca. It's a crowdinvesting online platform that has just launched in the Middle East, focusing on businesses in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Lebanon.
It is similar to popular crowdfunding websites such as Kickstarter, typically used to raise funds for artistic projects from music and films to festivals and fashion.
But instead of making what is essentially a donation, and getting rewards or gifts in return, crowd investors put money into a business and get a small stake in the firm.
And, all being well, they might just get their money back and more besides.
Mr Jaber is offering 15% of The Outlet in exchange for $600,000, money he wants to spend on advertsing, hiring staff and trying to get into online retail - an industry still fairly undeveloped in the Middle East.
He has 90 days to raise the cash, but after two weeks, barely $10,000 has been committed. Slightly worrying given this is his best chance of sourcing the money.
If he fails to raise the full amount, the funds go back to the investors and The Outlet gets nothing.
"Banks won't lend to us because we're too young a firm to take on debt locally," Mr Jaber says, touching on an issue familiar to start-ups and new firms across the Middle East and beyond.
But even with options limited, he admits that agreeing to sell a stake in his business to perhaps hundreds or thousands of small investors was a "difficult decision" - not least because it involved making his business plan public and opening the books.
"When you work hard to build a business, it's like your baby," he says. "And you want to reap the rewards yourself.
"In the Middle East there is also a culture of keeping everything a secret in terms of running a private company - you don't want other people knowing how it's going.
"But we want to grow our business and this means we have to be transparent about it".
Globally, the bulk of small businesses and start-ups fail. One estimate suggests about 95% of firms do not last five years and even if that figure is exaggerated, investments can clearly go wrong.
Investment contracts are with the individual business rather than the platform, and crowdinvesting is not regulated as an industry. But Eureeca's bosses argue that the transparency they demand, combined with thorough background checks, mean would-be investors should not be put off.
According to co-founder Chris Thomas, relying on "the crowd" adds greater investor protection than if the money had come from a more formal source such as a bank.
"The core ethos of crowdfunding is that you access your existing community," he says.
"That's your friends, your followers, people who subscribe to your mailing list, people that are the part of your trust circle. These are the guys that you want to keep on the right side."
But while that might be good for the companies, is there not a danger that investors are blindly investing because they like a product or an individual?
After all, putting your money into a firm can be done in minutes with a Facebook login, a couple of clicks of your computer mouse and a credit card.
"Many investments made online or offline are a combination of heart and your head - and we make decisions in part because we like the business, have an affinity with it," argues Mr Thomas.
"But what we do is let you make a cold-hearted business decision. I genuinely believe this is going to become the de facto way of raising money for SMEs - we're going to look back in 10 years and wonder how we did without it."
Not everyone is quite so convinced. Dubai-based investment consultant Feroz Sanaulla thinks crowdinvesting has a role in supporting businesses but that it will only ever be a bit-part player alongside other forms of funding.
And he anticipates the model won't be without issues.
"Raising equity through crowdfunding is problematic because there could be different kinds of investors in any company," says Mr Sanaulla.
"When you have a small investor with $1,000, someone with $10,000 and someone with $100,000 invested, each has different expectations because they're taking different risks in the process. So how do you make sure there is a template that fits all three investors? That's the real difficulty."
But before you face that dilemma you have to raise the money - something Kris Barber is all too aware of.
His company, DGrade, recycles plastic bottles to make clothes, from school uniforms to branded hoodies for firms keen to show their environmental credentials.
It is quite a different world from designer labels, but Mr Barber is another entrepreneur trying to tap crowd investors. He wants to help centralise the business in the UAE where plastic bottle use is high and recycling levels low.
The initial move will cost about $300,000, for which Mr Barber is prepared to surrender 10% of the business
But he sees some of his backers as more than a source of investment.
"There's the serious investor who invests in other businesses too, someone looking for a return on investment. They'll put in larger sums and they're obviously important," says Mr Barber.
"Then there's the other type of investor who... has no experience of investing in other businesses but actually has an interest in the product and in the process - someone who will talk about the business and tell their friends."
And that, argues Eureeca's Mr Thomas, is perhaps the biggest benefit of crowdinvesting.
"It opens new avenues that weren't there before in terms of building your ambassadors," he says.
"Businesses spend many, many marketing dollars trying to get to that end client, to get to the customer buying our products, getting to the guy who is going to refer us to his friends.
"If you successfully crowdinvest you are going to have many dozens of investors, maybe hundreds of members of your community who believe in your product.
"The power of the crowd is so important, and when you can figure out how to unlock that, the world's your oyster."
He told the BBC that he was giving a "very clear indication" about who he was likely to appoint to the post.
But he stopped short of officially confirming it would be Mr Balls before the election results were in, because he thought it was "presumptuous".
He added: "I think you can take it from my answer what I'm planning to do."
In an interview with BBC Newsnight presenter Evan Davis, he added: "I've always said that I don't do measuring the curtains because my focus is on up to 7 May.
"I'm not going to start appointing members of my cabinet, but I think Ed Balls has shown over the last four years, and in this campaign, that he is somebody who is not just capable of being chancellor, but would be an excellent chancellor.
"I'm giving you a very clear indication."
The Labour leader was also pressed on the subject of how much his party would be borrowing at the end of the next Parliament, but did not give a specific answer.
He said Labour would have a surplus on the current budget "as soon as possible" in the next Parliament, and have net debt falling.
But Mr Miliband said he would not pick an "arbitrary number" for borrowing in six years' time.
He was also asked if Labour's borrowing would be bigger at the end of the next Parliament than the Conservative's plan.
"I don't believe it will", he said based on the Tories' failure to meet their borrowing target in this Parliament.
Asked whether the SNP would effectively be calling the shots over any future Labour government, he said: "It ain't going to happen... the House of Commons works in a very simple way. It's for people in the Commons to decide how they vote on measures put before the House of Commons... The SNP aren't going to tell us".
In the first of the series of leaders' interviews with Evan Davis, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said he would reject another coalition with the Conservatives if they insisted on their proposed £12bn welfare cuts.
And last week David Cameron told the presenter that accusations about the Conservatives being "the party of the rich" made him "more angry than almost anything else".
The full interview can be seen from 19:30 BST on BBC One and online on the BBC's election live page.
About 3,000 people aged 10-18 debated the issues and came up with 500 clauses they would like to see in such a document.
Now the public can have their say.
The current number one is: "Not let companies pay to control it, and not let governments restrict our right to information."
The voting project, called My Digital Rights, marks the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta and the 25th birthday of the world wide web.
Judging by the current top 10 - voted on by more than 30,000 visitors to the British Library's website - people clearly want the internet to be an impartial source of information for all, free from government censorship and surveillance, and free from commercial control.
However, the issues concerning most young people who took part in the debates and workshops were safety and cyberbullying, in contrast to those concerning the public in general.
"It has been fascinating to see how the public's top clauses have compared to those of the thousands of students who have co-created this 'Magna Carta for the digital age'," says Sarah Shaw, the British Library's project manager of Magna Carta: My Digital Rights.
"The project was conceived to encourage young people to think about issues of privacy, access and freedom, raised by Magna Carta, in the digital age.
"These 'Top 10' clauses we have revealed today show a snapshot of how the public feel at this 800th anniversary moment about our rights and responsibilities on the web."
Magna Carta was granted by King John of England on 15 June 1215, establishing that the king was subject to the law rather than being above it.
The joint project has involved the British Library, the World Wide Web Foundation, Southbank Centre and the British Council.
The voting is still open so the British Library expects the Top 10 to change over time.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the world wide web, has voiced his support for the project.
"It's important for young people to think about the future now, when we are deciding what sort of a future it will be.
"It's going to be a future they will have to live in," he said.
Ms Hanson's One Nation is the biggest beneficiary of growing disenchantment with traditional politics in Australia, where Donald Trump's US election victory and Britain's Brexit vote have energised minor parties with right-wing populist agendas.
However, while One Nation is riding high - with four seats in the federal Senate, a deal with the governing Liberal Party in Western Australia, and forecasts it could win nearly one-quarter of votes in a Queensland state election - the former fish-and-chip shop owner is not the only contender for the title of Antipodean Trump.
Last year's general election saw a surge in support for independents and minor parties, thanks partly to charismatic individuals such as Nick Xenophon, whose protectionist Nick Xenophon Team won two seats in the lower House of Representatives.
And, earlier this month, Malcolm Turnbull's governing conservative Liberal-National Party coalition was shaken by the departure of an outspoken right-wing politician, Cory Bernardi, who - accusing the Liberals of abandoning their traditional values - announced the formation of his own, ideologically purer party.
Indeed, what is is distinctive about Australian populism is the emergence not of one key figure - a Farage or Le Pen or Trump - but of a diverse field of parties and personalities, says Dr Nick Economou, a political scientist at Melbourne's Monash University.
Dozens of small right-wing parties stood at the 2016 election, winning only a tiny fraction of the vote. The exception was One Nation, which - after storming on to the political stage in the mid-1990s, then fizzling out amid in-fighting and fraud allegations - staged a triumphant renaissance.
Now mainstream politicians, particularly from the coalition, are lining up to praise the party as "a very different beast to what it was 20 years ago... a lot more sophisticated" (Arthur Sinodinos, a federal cabinet minister), and its leader as a "much more mature politician... responsible... helpful" (former Prime Minister Tony Abbott).
The reason? Along with other minor players, including the well-established Australian Greens, One Nation holds the balance of power in the Senate, meaning the government has to negotiate with it to get legislation passed.
That gives Ms Hanson - who toasted Mr Trump's victory with champagne, and declared that "I can see in Donald Trump a lot of me" - a degree of influence unprecedented for a far-right politician in Australia.
In Western Australia, meanwhile, where polls suggest One Nation could win up to 13% of the vote in a state election next week, the ailing Liberal Party has done something which less than a year ago would have been unthinkable.
It has struck a deal with One Nation which, under Australia's preferential voting system, could help the Liberals hold on to government, while handing the former pariahs the balance of power in the state's upper house.
And in Queensland, Ms Hanson's home state, where an election is due in the next year, polling indicates her party could top the 22% of the vote it won in 1998.
Then, One Nation's rise was seen as a blip. Now, with populist currents sweeping much of the Western world, the party is being feted by conservative commentators. Ms Hanson has even floated the idea that she could one day become prime minister.
"This time Hanson is no passing phenomenon," commentator Paul Kelly wrote in The Australian. "She is a far more formidable prospect than 20 years ago, and enjoys an anti-politician cultural status."
At the federal election, minor parties won a record 34% of the Senate vote, thanks to factors now familiar to pundits in Britain and the US - growing income inequality, nationalism, anti-immigration and anti-free trade sentiment, and backlashes against "political correctness" and globalisation.
In recent times, economic growth has slowed in Australia, while wages have stagnated. Traditional industries such as car-making have shut down, and manufacturing has moved offshore. Job insecurity is rife.
"Anti-government feeling and dissatisfaction with the political establishment are benefiting parties with very simple slogans and approaches to complex issues," Norman Abjorensen, a visiting fellow in policy and governance at the Australian National University, told the BBC.
Like its counterparts elsewhere, One Nation draws much of its support from disadvantaged regional areas and people living on the urban fringe. In several Australian states, though, it faces stiff competition.
Mr Xenophon, seen as a "Mr Clean" politician and a champion of ordinary citizens, has captured the anti-establishment vote in South Australia; Jacqui Lambie, a plain-spoken independent, is the choice of disaffected Tasmanians. Victorians elected Derryn Hinch, a former shock jock, to the federal Senate.
As for Mr Bernardi, few believe his Australian Conservatives party will draw significant support. His departure, though, may force Mr Turnbull to go to greater lengths to placate right-wingers in his Liberal Party, lest they feel tempted to jump ship too.
Forced to resign as Mr Abbott's parliamentary secretary in 2012 after suggesting same-sex marriage could lead to bestiality, Mr Bernardi has denounced Islam as a "totalitarian political and religious ideology", asylum seekers as "welfare squatters" and abortion advocates as "pro-death".
Cool heads note that, despite the hype, One Nation won only 4.3% of votes in the federal Senate, and 1.8% in the House of Representatives.
One important difference between Australia and the US, says Dr Economou, is that Mr Trump "mobilised and impacted on one of the major parties", while in Australia the likes of One Nation remain outside the political mainstream - not least because the voting system in the key House of Representatives is majoritarian.
"That system is designed to make it very difficult for minor parties to win a seat," Dr Economou told the BBC. "And Australian politics is amazingly pragmatic. We do not like ideologues, we never have and never will."
Nevertheless, One Nation and other smaller players can shake things up, and they are certainly unnerving the major parties, which are scrambling to minimise inroads into their support and even parroting populist rhetoric.
Sections of the opposition Australian Labor Party are pushing for the country's highest earners to pay a minimum rate of tax, while Labor's leader, Bill Shorten, has pledged to "buy Australian, build Australian, make in Australia and employ Australians ... We will not leave people behind."
Dr Abjorensen calls One Nation "a force to be reckoned with, one that the major parties are going to have to deal with. We're obviously going to see concessions made to the right-wing agenda that probably wouldn't have seen the light of day in previous eras".
Deals such as the one struck in Western Australia, he adds, "will lend further legitimacy to Pauline Hanson and strengthen her power base".
Mr Hanson won a seat in the federal parliament in 1996. In her maiden speech, she claimed Australia was "in danger of being swamped by Asians". In her maiden speech last year, following her return to Canberra, she claimed Australia was "in danger of being swamped by Muslims".
As one commentator has written of One Nation: "Nothing has changed... What has changed is the sea they swim in."
Alan Rusbridger said both Labour and the Conservatives "feel compromised" by the information revealed in documents leaked by Edward Snowden.
The foreign secretary said he had seen no evidence of privacy law breaches.
US President Barack Obama is set to announce new restrictions on the collection of phone records later.
Foreign Secretary William Hague's comments followed new allegations revealed by the Guardian and Channel Four News about a National Security Agency (NSA) programme that has collected and stored almost 200 million text messages per day across the globe.
The programme extracted and stored data from the SMS messages to gather location information, contacts and financial data, according to the Guardian and Channel Four.
Mr Hague told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he could not address those specific allegations, but said the UK had "very strong legal checks and balances" requiring warrants from himself or the home secretary to intercept the content of the communications of anyone within the United Kingdom.
"That system is not breached," he said. "I've never seen anything to suggest that system is breached.
"We have perhaps the strongest system in the world, in which not only do I and the home secretary oversee these things, there are then commissioners - the interception of communications commissioner, for instance - who oversee our work and report to the prime minister on how we do that."
However, Mr Rusbridger claimed the American NSA liked working in the UK because of the "light legal regime".

UK 'complacent' over spying leaks
He told the Today programme: "Here, there's been barely a whisper from Westminster.
"I think they are closing their eyes and hoping it will go away. But it's not going to go away, because it's impossible to reform the NSA without that having a deep knock-on effect on what our own intelligence services do."
He said the leaks by former intelligence contractor Mr Snowden - who has been granted asylum by Russia - compromised both main political parties.
"Labour are not keen to get involved because a lot of this stuff was done on their watch," he said.
"That of course has raised the whole question of oversight. We have a parliamentary committee with a tiny budget of £1m overseeing the three agencies [the intelligence service MI6, security service MI5 and communications monitor GCHQ] with over £2bn.
"I just don't believe they've got the technological expertise or the resource to look into this."
New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor has been named as captain for the upcoming T20 Blast competition.
Wright gave up the captaincy earlier this month, saying the role had affected him "on and off the pitch".
Wicketkeeper Brown, 28, had been vice-captain at the Division Two county, and skippered the side when Wright missed games through injury last season.
He has spent his entire career with Sussex, playing more than 200 games for the club.
"Obviously being a homegrown player it's something that you dream of when you're younger," he told BBC Sussex.
"To captain the side at least until the end of the season will be really, really exciting for me."
Sussex are fifth in the County Championship Division Two table, having won both their games under interim captain Chris Nash.

Almost 30 minutes after his mother left for work, he collapsed and was taken to hospital. He died on 1 September after being moved to Great Ormond Street.
Ms Tautz, 34, of Holly Park Road, Barnet, denies one charge of manslaughter.
Jurors were told Joshua died "because of a head injury that caused bleeding in his brain, eyes and other spinal injuries".
At the start of Ms Tautz's trial on Monday, prosecutor Zoe Johnson QC added: "On that day, for whatever reason... something snapped in the defendant and for a short while she lost her temper with Joshua and assaulted him, causing all those injuries.
"Her account of what happened whilst she was looking after Joshua does not explain Joshua's various injuries and therefore something else occurred - we suggest a dangerous and excessive shaking of Joshua - which the defendant has not revealed."
Ms Tautz was arrested on 5 September and in police interviews said she had played a horse-riding game with Joshua. She said he had not had any accidents and she denied shaking him.
When paramedics arrived at the flat at 09:11, she told them the boy had been crying in his cot, and that he "shook twice" when she picked him up, before he went floppy and stopped breathing.
Doctors at Great Ormond Street said Joshua had suffered "a devastating and irrecoverable brain injury", his brain was not showing signs of activity, and his heart could stop at any time.
In a statement read in court, Ms Paul said she paid Ms Tautz £3.60 an hour, her son was "happy with her", and that she "never saw her lose her temper".
The court heard that Joshua, who was born about 10 weeks early, had a large head for his age and was being monitored.
The trial continues.
Power demand is expected to fall and then surge.
As the moon obscures much of the sun, the electricity generated by solar panels is expected to drop by up to 75%.
But National Grid believes the overall impact will be "manageable".
Much more electricity is generated from solar panels now than than during the last eclipse in 1999.
It is the first time that an eclipse in Europe is expected to have an impact on the operation of electricity grids.
Germany faces the biggest test, with about 39GW (gigawatts) of installed solar capacity.
The UK has 5GW of solar, the equivalent to the power output from about eight to 10 gas fired power stations.
But while the amount of electricity generated from solar will fall during eclipse, National Grid is not expecting any major impact.
"This loss of solar is entirely manageable," said a National Grid spokesperson. "We have a range of tools in place to manage any effects of the eclipse and balance the network."
The eclipse will start at around 08:45 on Friday and is due to last for a couple of hours.
It should be visible in much of the UK.
But with cloudy weather now expected, National Grid has revised down its forecast for the likely impact to energy supplies.
At that time of day, about 1,000MW (megawatts) of power would be generated from solar (1,000MW is equal to 1GW).
That is expected to fall by around 850MW.
Normally, that shortfall would need to be made up by bringing other power plants on to the system.
But based on an analysis of what happened during the previous eclipse in 1999, National Grid expects many people across Britain to stop their normal activities to observe the phenomenon.
That is expected to cause a fall in power demand on the network of about 1,100MW.
After the peak of the eclipse at 09:30, power demand is then expected to surge by 950MW as people resume normal activities.
The impact elsewhere in Europe could be more profound.
Europe's total solar power output could drop by as much as 34GW if it's a clear day, according to the organisation that represents network operators.
That's the equivalent of the output of around 80 gas-fired power stations gradually fading out of the European system as the eclipse happens, then fading back in again.
The European Network Transmission System Operators for Electricity has warned that the risk of an incident such as a power cut can't be completely ruled out.
Half of the total impact is expected in Germany. Other major users of solar power including Italy (19.7GW) and Spain (6.7GW) are expected to face challenges too.
It says the main challenge will be balancing the network in real time without causing blackouts or overloads.
The UK won't see a solar eclipse on this scale until 2026.
How to watch the eclipse safely
Why don't we see an eclipse every month?
Solar power overall provides some 1.5% of the UK's total annual power output.
But Leonie Greene of the Solar Trade Association believes the eclipse should not be a cause for concern.
"At this time of year, in the morning, the impact of the eclipse on solar output will be particularly small," she says.
"The impact of the eclipse on solar will be known by grid managers and it will pose no problem to the power supply.
"Far more challenging is the surge in power demand after the eclipse as everyone goes indoors for a cup of tea."
Advance tickets were made available to members of Adele.com this morning.
But several fans said they saw other people's shopping baskets, including payment details, upon check out.
Ticketing company Songkick said due to the "extreme load" on the site some customers could see others' account details. It apologised for any "alarm".
"At no time was anyone able to access another person's password, nor their payment or credit card details (which are not retained by Songkick)," it said.
Kiran Farmah, in Birmingham, said she was offered tickets for Glasgow shows.
"I got through to buying tickets but it came up with someone else's screen with their card details and home address for SSE," she tweeted.
Emma Harris in Woking told the BBC she had experienced a similar problem.
"After queuing for an hour and half, we clicked the tickets we wanted [and] got pushed through to another screen but different tickets were selected."
"We went with these anyway because we thought otherwise we'd lose out. But when we got to the next screen, where you fill in your details, all of the boxes were already filled in with somebody else's name, somebody else's address and somebody else's credit card number."
Harris said she deleted the other customer's "big, long digit card number" and eventually obtained tickets for the O2 in London next March.
"It's definitely worrying, as I know myself and a lot of friends of mine have paid with our credit card details and we don't know who they've been exposed to."
The sale was organised by live music and technology firm Songkick, which provides concert tickets and allows fans to be alerted to upcoming shows.
"Due to extreme load experienced this morning, some of our customers were incorrectly able to preview limited account information belonging to other customers...
"We take the security of our users and Adele's fans very seriously, and we apologize for the alarm we have caused to those purchasers who experienced issues."
Security consultant Graham Cluely said the incident "certainly sounded" like a security breach.
"This is the sort of thing which should be impossible, even if the website is very busy," he told the BBC.
"It sounds like the website [code] has been written insecurely. It's spitting out other people's information - information which they would expect to have been kept private."
He agreed it was still "unclear" whether credit card numbers had been exposed, but urged customers to be cautious.
"If that information could have been exposed, then keep a close eye on your bank account and your credit card statements. Look for unusual activity there and be very wary of unsolicited messages or unusual emails which you might receive."
After dutifully signing up to Adele's website to be eligible for the presale like countless others, and logging on at 08:57, and being in a queue on the website - unexpected euphoria. I'm in.
I select two tickets at £55 each for one of the Manchester dates. But on the next screen, I'm informed I've selected four tickets at £95 each. Clearly something has gone wrong.
The clock ticking, a snap decision is required. How much do I like her? Enough to spend £380 (plus fees) rather than £110? Sorry Adele - I remove the tickets in the hope I can choose different ones.
But no - I'm just thrown out of the booking process and shoved to the back of the queue. At the time of writing, an hour and a half later, I'm still in the queue and the site says tickets are "still available". I suspect they've realised there's a gremlin in the system.
The tour kicks off in Belfast on 29 February and finishes in Antwerp on 13 June next year. It also includes four dates at London's O2 Arena.
It will be the first time Adele has toured since 2011. That tour ended prematurely due to the discovery of a haemorrhage on her vocal cord, which required surgery.
With huge demand for her new gig tickets, Adele's website carries a request that purchasers do not sell tickets on for a profit.
Reselling tickets at inflated prices is common for sold-out gigs and is not illegal in the UK. But it often causes consternation among genuine fans and the site says: "The resale of tickets will not be tolerated."
However, dozens of tickets for the singer's shows have already appeared on secondary ticketing sites.
Viagogo is offering a single ticket to London's O2 Arena for £3,506. On Get Me In, the top price is £770.
Coldplay recently signed an open letter to the government calling for action over secondary ticketing sites, saying fans are being "ripped-off by touts who anonymously exploit fair ticket prices via online ticket marketplaces".
Songkick said there had only been a "low level" of ticket resale for Adele's show, suggesting that just 2% of the 57,000 tickets sold on Tuesday morning had found their way onto secondary sites.
"Compared to other events, we believe these efforts helped to reduce resale by well over 50%, increasing the amount of fans that can attend these shows," it added. | Takata Corp has denied it has calculated the cost of the global recall of its faulty airbags, after a report alleged it could be as much as 2.7 trillion yen ($24bn; £16.7bn).

The departure of defender Davis, 25, is no surprise, as he spent the second half of the season on loan with Scottish Championship side St Mirren.
Defender Ben Nugent, 24, and keeper Andy Dawber, 22, have also been let go.
The other three to go are midfielders Billy Bingham, 26, and Marcus Poscha, 20 and striker Callum Saunders, 21.
But Artell has told BBC Stoke that they plan to keep hold of injured former Bournemouth, Charlton and Portsmouth midfielder Danny Hollands, 31, who missed the last two months of the season. "We want to keep him and will be offering him something in the next week or two," he said.
They have also offered new deals to defenders Perry Ng, 21, George Ray, 23, Jon Guthrie, 24, and Ollie Turton, 24, keeper Dave Richards, 23, and 19-year-old midfielder Ollie Finney, who made his debut in the final day 4-1 win over Barnet. The six players have a month to make up their minds.
Strikers Alex Kiwomya (Chelsea) and Jordan Bowery (Leyton Orient) and Middlesbrough midfielder Callum Cooke have returned to their parent clubs.
But Cooke has already expressed an interest in returning to Gresty Road.
Three of the latest graduates off the Crewe Academy production line have also signed their first one-year professional contracts, full-back Ross Woodcock, midfielder Josh Lundstram and striker Lewis Reilly.
Crewe boss Artell says the factor behind their decision to release players differed from player to player - and was a collaboration of the whole Alex backroom team.
"It was different things for different players," he told BBC Radio Stoke. "Some we didn't think did enough, some had intimated they wanted to leave, some wanted to move closer to home and some we don't think we can make any better.
"We all had a say. It's not a dictatorship. I'm not Idi Amin or Pol Pot. Everyone chips in and decides the best way forward.

Her film La Tete Haute, starring Catherine Deneuve, gives Bercot the dubious honour of being the first woman to open Cannes since Diane Kurys in 1987.
In fact, it's rather a defiantly European slate of films in competition for the Palme d'Or, including directors Paolo Sorrentino, Nanni Moretti and Yorgos Lanthimos in the running.
That's not to say Cannes will be without A-list powerhouse stars with Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender among those expected on the red carpet.
Over the next week, we'll have more of the daily goings on at the world's biggest and oldest film festival.
There are some interesting people to be met in Cannes.
Last night, I attended an event onboard a yacht which is looking to award film trailers - best actor... in a trailer; best actress... in a trailer; best hairstyle... in a trailer. (Okay, the last one I may have just made up.)
I spoke with a former child actor who is now a director/producer in Thailand. He was in Cannes in a semi-official capacity to promote the country's film industry and to sell Thailand as a location for film productions.
I also met a very confident young German in an evening suit, possibly the only one on board, who has a film showing in the short film strand at Cannes. He is currently working on a very high concept script which he described as an "underwater film noir".
Like I said, interesting people.
No less interesting was the son of late actor Steve McQueen, in town to promote a documentary about his father's struggle to create the racing film Le Mans in 1970.
Now a custodian of the McQueen estate, he himself is a former racing driver who still bears the some physical scars from an horrific crash which almost cost him his life.
He is also a former actor (and this is where I get really geeky) who played one of Danny Laruso's tormenters in the original Karate Kid film.
"My son is an actor, he's in a TV show called Vampire Diaries so I tell him not to worry, that talent in our family clearly skips a generation, so he should be fine," he joked.
And, sadly, that is it for this reporter's diary at Cannes this year, as we decamp the Croisette.
Highlights were the fantastic Amy Winehouse documentary and the weird and wonderful Colin Farrell film The Lobster.
Sadly the biggest low was Gus Van Sant's misfiring Sea of Trees, one which I had been looking forward to. Never mind Gus, there's always next year.
Showing as part of the director's fortnight at Cannes is the film Green Room and, with more than a week of the festival yet to run, it is already a contender for the most brutally violent film to be given an official screening.
On top of that, British national treasure Patrick Stewart plays the leader of a white power gang.
The basic premise is that a travelling punk band are offered a gig at a skinhead bar deep in the backwoods of Portland. There they witness the aftermath of a murder and are barricaded inside the bar's dressing room - the Green Room of the title.
What follows is an hour and half siege/horror movie, during which the Nazi gang try to break into the room as the band frantically try to find a way out.
There are slashings, shootings, dog attacks and a particularly gruesome disembowelling. And it's all to a thrashing hardcore punk soundtrack. It's really quite a lot of fun. If you like that sort of thing...
Stewart's accent veers between RSC and generic American, but Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin is good in his role as the softly spoken yet surprisingly resilient guitar player.
There is also a neat running gag about picking one band you could listen to if you were deserted on an island, with a great pay-off in the film's closing moments.
Not one for the faint-hearted or weak of stomach, but a treat for gore aficionados.
American director Todd Haynes has announced his return to Cannes with a finely crafted feature which is already generating buzz as a genuine contender for this year's Palme d'Or.
Carol, a love story between two women set during the socially uptight 1950s, stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara - best known for the US remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
It is based on a 1952 novel by Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt, then considered hugely controversial for its portrayal of a lesbian relationship but now recognised as a ground-breaking work.
Mara is impressive as the younger women transfixed by the older socialite, who leaves a pair of gloves behind during their first meeting at a department store. At one point during their exchange, Blanchett remarks on Mara's oddness saying she seems to have fallen from space.
Mara's stillness gives a sense of the character's struggle to understand the new feelings she has for this woman. She quizzes her boyfriend on what he thinks about two women or two men who fall in love. It is a test of herself as much as a test of him.
But the film belongs to Blanchett, whose latent ability to disappear into every character she plays continues to wow audiences and delight critics.
Every look, every elegant gesture is loaded with meaning and yet the performance is understated, in comparison with Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine which earned her an Oscar two years ago,
And, as early in the year as we still are, some are already suggesting that, come awards season, this performance and this film, will be recognised with some nominations.
Another film in competition, is the French relationship drama Mon Roi (My King).
Starring Emmanuelle Bercot - whose film Standing Tall opened this year's festival - and Vincent Cassel, who has already been seen in the Matteo Garrone fairytale Tale of Tales, it's a story of addiction.
Bercot's lawyer is addicted to Cassel and his joie de vivre and over ten years we watch their relationship develop. They fall in love, they fight, they separate, they reunite. Neither can live without the other, nor can they live with each other.
Funny and sad, plus two great performances from Cassel and Bercot.
Asif Kapadia's Amy, about the life of singer Amy Winehouse serves as a sad reminder of the huge talent that was lost when she died in 2011 at the age of just 27.
Using archive footage of Winehouse from childhood and throughout her glittering but all too brief career, the BAFTA-winning filmmakers paint a portrait of a smart, funny, emotional, supremely talented but troubled young woman.
The story is told by those who knew her best, her oldest friends who stuck by her from childhood throughout her later fame, alcoholism and drug abuse.
It includes testimony from her former husband, managers and musician friends such as Salaam Remi - who produced her Back to Black album - Mark Ronson, rapper Mos Def and her idol, Tony Bennett.
Her father Mitch Winehouse is also featured, as is her mother, but the family have since distanced themselves from the film and it's not difficult to see why.
They do come in for some criticism, Mitch in particular. An example being when he brings his own TV crew to St Lucia, where his daughter was trying to stay clean from drink and drugs.
An awkward exchange with some fans starts a small row, as she tells him that his cameras make her feel "like a mug".
Inevitably the finger of blame is also pointed at the media, in particular, the British tabloid press and its voracious appetite to document the fall from grace of a young singing superstar.
What comes across from the combined testimony, and clips of Amy herself, is that she never craved fame, never wanted celebrity and was never happier than when in the studio armed with a guitar and a microphone. Or in front of an audience of 50 at some smoky jazz club.
Footage shot just months before her death, singing opposite Bennett for a duets album, are touching, the shy 20-something eager to impress a man, a music legend, whose songs she has held dear since childhood.
"I'm like you, every take is different," the older singer says soothingly to the bashful and starstruck young artist.
"No, I'm like you is what you mean," she counters. "I'm like you."
Somewhat fitting the final words are left to the 88-year-old jazzman as he eulogises: "Life teaches you how to live. As long as you live long enough to learn."
Wonderful words spoken tragically too late for Amy Winehouse to hear.
Day three of the festival and already so much has happened, the Mad Max juggernaut rolled into town, there were boos for festival favourite Gus Van Sant's new film and today journalists will get the chance to see the new documentary about Amy Winehouse.
Amy, directed by Asif Kapadia, whose documentary about the late F1 driver Ayrton Senna was a huge critical hit around the world, has already generated some controversy. Winehouse's family, which initially backed the film has withdrawn its support.
Her father in particular, has complained that it paints an unfair and inaccurate portrait of their relationship.
Later tonight is the first screening of Todd Hayne's film Carol which stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara as women in love in the 1950s set drama.
The early word is that, once again, there's a towering performance by Blanchett.
So the first real boos at this year's Cannes and it was for a former favourite on the Croisette Gus Van Sant. His new film Sea of Trees sees Matthew McConaughey as a suicidal scientist who travels to a beautiful forest at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan to do the deed.
There he meets a similarly lost and blooded soul, in the form of Ken Watanabe, who forces him to re-evaluate his decision to kill himself.
Such a sensitive subject matter is not handled particularly well and the film quickly becomes a buddy movie survival-style romp. Flashbacks to McConaughey's troubled marriage to Naomi Watts and a fireside confession scene end in a denouement which was easy to see coming and dripped of sentimentality.
As the credit rolled, there were sounds of boos and jeers from the balcony. Which would not have been music to the ears of the director who is due in town with his stars to promote the movie.
It's in the running for the Palme d'Or but on the reaction of this crowd, a win is not particularly likely.
Single people are sent to a hotel to find love. If they find a mate who shares similar attributes, they can return to the city to live in happiness. If they fail, they become animals and are allowed to roam the forest. Or they can choose to be loners and live a feral existence in the woods, where they risk capture and involuntary metamorphosis into a creature.
Yup, The Lobster, by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos is definitely as weird as it sounds.
We follow David, the only named character (played by Colin Farrell) as he tries to find love in the most oppressive of places, the tightly regimented hotel - run by Olivia Colman.
He is joined on his quest for love by John C Reilly as Lisping Man and Ben Whishaw as Limping Man. Extras star Ashley Jensen plays Biscuit Woman. Seriously...
What follows is a bizarre, frightening, moving and darkly funny tale. And one which is very much open to interpretation.
Rachel Weisz, who - as short-sighted woman - may be David's saviour said: "One of my friends thinks its a scathing satire on suburbia. To me, the first thing I think of is narcissism, that you have to fall in love with someone who has similar qualities to yourself."
"I don't think I really know what the film is about," said Whishaw - who is yet to se the completed film. "I suspect it's a film that would make you feel differently every time you see it."
Farrell, who sports a moustache and middle-aged paunch throughout the movie, added: "One thing that stayed with me after I read the script was the deep loneliness that permeates it.
"But just being in it doesn't mean I know more about this than any audience member who will see it."
As an audience member I can attest to that. I enjoyed it but I'm still trying to decide what it was all about.
Maybe I never will.
Possibly the strangest film in competition this year is about to begin. The Lobster is set in a near future when people have 45 days to find love in a hotel or they must be turned in to an animal and released into the woods.
Actors who signed up for this bizarre take include Colin Farrell, Ben Whishaw and Olivia Colman. Expecting some weird goings-on.
Elsewhere, the new documentary Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans, about his torturous labour of love, a movie about motor racing shot at top speeds, has screened.
It's an interesting insight into the actor and the behind the scenes struggles to get the movie made. For some, the film was a pure recreation of what makes a man drive a car at over 200mph, for others it's massively self-indulgent and almost unwatchable.
I'll be speaking to the filmmakers and McQueen's son Chad on Monday.
Managed to see last night's opening film at Cannes, the French drama La Tete Haute (or Standing Tall in English).
Directed by Emmanuelle Bercot and starring Catherine Deneuve and first-time actor Rod Paradot, it tells the story of a young delinquent and the exhaustive attempts by the local authorities to help him curb his anti-social behaviour which revolves mainly around bunking off school and stealing cars.
Deneuve is a steely, yet kind-hearted juvenile court judge, perhaps the one authority figure who can get through to the volatile and violent teenager.
In Paradot, there is a refreshing un-actorly performance, often raw and explosive and he exudes cockiness and vulnerability in equal measure. However, the untethered performance of an amateur performer brings its own problem as there is little to show in the way of character development, permanently rooted as he is in the role of angry teenager.
The drama often relies on the procedural, with frequent expository explanations of how the French juvenile system works. His mildly drug addicted mother is also something of a stereotype.
That fact this was selected as the opening film for this year's Cannes however, over a Hollywood crowd-pleaser, is not to be overlooked.
Perhaps still stinging from the vicious reviews for last year's Grace of Monaco and the lukewarn reaction to The Great Gatsby a year earlier, the festival organisers are putting a French stamp on Cannes.
And Standing Tall, though not a perfect film, was certainly an admirable choice on their part.
Think Point Break, an undercover thriller but without Patrick Swayze, amazing action sequences and surfing, set it in France over a century ago and you're in the right ballpark for the film The Anarchists.
It stars two actors who both made a splash at previous Cannes festivals.
Tahar Rahim, whose blistering performance in A Prophet made him one of Europe's hottest talents, stars as Jean, a lowly policeman in 1899 Paris, sent by his senior officer to infiltrate a gang of anarchists - bent on ending the subjugation of the poor working classes by destroying the bourgeois,
There, he is inevitably drawn in to the close inner circle of the band's passionate leader and his beautiful girlfriend, played by Adele Exarchopoulos, who shared the Palme d'Or award at Cannes with Lea Seydoux and director Abdellatif Kechiche for the explicit lesbian love story Blue is the Warmest Colour.
Jean's loyalties are tested and he is torn between his duty to serve, his growing friendship with Elisee and his feelings for Judith.
The grimy underbelly of working class Paris is well recreated and the performances are strong. It moves a little slowly in places but the stakes are high as the conclusion moves towards the planning of a violent attack.
What is perhaps a little disappointing is that, for a group calling themselves anarchists, actual anarchy is in short supply. These would-be rebels prefer instead to sit about drinking and musing on whether social change should ever justify violence.
There is a bank heist, which naturally ends with a casualty, like I said Point Break but definitely not as slick as the Ex Presidents. But at least they too never go for the vault.
The film is screening as part of the critics fortnight strand. There's a lot there to like but I was frustrated at a lack of genuine suspense. Like Jean, I was torn.
Every once in a while a film comes along which is just a little bit different than everything else you will see at Cannes.
Such is the case with the new film by Italian director Matteo Garrone. This is his first film in the English language and his first in the realm of fantasy.
Tale of Tales is a twisted fairytale portmanteau of three separate stories, which nevertheless are also finely connected.
Based on the stories of the 17th Century writer Giambattista Basile, this is a world of sea monsters and ogres, witches and magic.
One story tells the tale of a lustful king who mistakes the voice of old crone for that of a young girl and goes all out to woo her. Another tells of a distracted monarch who is more obsessed by his pet flea than the daughter he is about to marry off to a mindless giant.
Salma Hayek plays an obsessed queen whose desire for a child robs her of everything else she holds dear.
It's an all-star cast, with appearances from the likes of Toby Jones, Vincent Cassel, and John C Reilly. Much has been made of Garrone's foray into English, perhaps to broaden his appeal beyond Europe's borders. But the film has such a defiantly European sensibility that it's a risky move by the director, who may alienate his existing audience.
However, it's lavish, beautifully realised and darkly funny.
An interesting proposition this morning is a film screening as part of the critics' fortnight. The Anarchists stars Tahar Rahim, who made his name in the film A Prophet, and Adele Exarchopoulos, who shared the best actress title with Lea Seydoux for Blue is the Warmest Colour at Cannes two years ago.
Set in Paris in 1899, the period drama tells the story of a humble police corporal sent to infiltrate a group of anarchists, who finds his loyalties tested when he falls in love with one of them.
So we begin this morning, whisked off in people carriers with tinted windows to the impossibly glamorous and exclusive Hotel du Cap, about 30 minutes outside of Cannes, to meet the director and cast of the post-apocalyptic Mad Max: Fury Road.
Sadly there was no grand entrance through the hotel lobby - instead we were taken around the back of the building, through the tradesmen's entrance as it were.
Luckily any fears of feeling a little bit like a dirty secret were allayed by the youthful enthusiasm of the film's 70-year-old director George Miller. It's been 35 years since he first burst onto the screen with Mad Max and its then unknown star, Mel Gibson.
"Mel sat beside me at the premiere with Tom Hardy sat behind us and Mel is one of those people who can't censor himself... I kept seeing him chuckle.
"He's directing a movie in Australia now and would ask, 'Oh who's that actor?' He really loved it and it meant a lot to me and he gave me a hug.
"He's a great film-maker and I know he's had awful problems but he's a really good man struggling with his demons. I got his respect as a film-maker which was great."
Hardy stars as the largely silent Max, while Nicholas Hoult plays "war boy" Nux, a devoted follower of the movie's bad guy Immortan Joe.
The original film was already more than a decade old by the time Hoult was born, and he admits he'd never seen it before he auditioned for the part.
"I had seen George's other films, like Happy Feet, but I was amazed that no -one had told me about them.
"But then all these pop culture references made more sense to me, watching Tupac and Dr Dre's California video and seeing this is where all of those guys got their ideas from."
Hardy's first exposure to the violent films was a little more damaging, he says.
"I was about six or seven and I saw my cousins watching it and it was just weird because I was young and it's quite grown-up.
"It's very unusual and I didn't understand it, a bit like the first time I heard Jimi Hendrix as a kid, it was too grown up for me.
"I felt a little bit dirty and a little bit abused and I kind of left it because it's odd. Then later when I was about 15, I knew about it. I knew about the character and the Interceptor (Max's power V8 engine car) but I still had never seen it.
"I got a dog called Mad Max when I was 17 and I didn't like the name because I remember the film and it was weird. So I changed his name and he died the year I was offered Max, and then I watched the movie and then I got it."
That would make his dog about 20 when he died, which is pretty old.
Charlize Theron, Imperator Furiosa in the movie, arrived with a glass of tomato juice, which could have been mistakenly identified by yours truly as a Bloody Mary.
"No, this is virgin all the way," she insists. "There are too many studio people about, I don't want to get fired."
The film, surprisingly, has a strong feminist streak. Her character is, to put it simply, a bit of a bad ass - not to be messed with, she drives a massive rig called the War Machine and is central to the film's plot.
More importantly, she is not there to serve out a romantic storyline between her character and Max.
"You can't say 'the stakes are this high' and you're literally in a driving war and we cannot stop because 'if we stop, we die' - and then have them pull off to the side of the road to have sex, like fall in love, because then immediately the anxiety has been relieved for the audience.
"Unfortunately some film-makers think you can have both. What was great about this is that the luxury of a love story was not where we were, I mean they can't even talk to each other.
"We never even talked about it - it was never there, no one said 'maybe', we never had to fight against it.
"It was always going to be two warriors on par, starting off with very little respect for each other and ending up with a massive respect for each other."
Mad Max: Fury Road is showing out of competition. Find out what else is screening at Cannes this year with our guide to the films to watch out for.
You know it's going to be a Cannes Film Festival of excitement and unpredictability when, on arriving at the airport in Nice, you spot - in no particular order Charlize Theron, John Legend and... former This Is Your Life host Michael Aspel.
I should add they didn't all arrive together. Which would have been weird.
The festival itself kicks off later, not with a Hollywood movie, but rather a French drama Standing Tall, directed by Emanuelle Bercot. Perhaps the organisers have learned a lesson after the lukewarm reception given to Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby in 2013 and the all-out pasting meted out to last year's opening movie Grace of Monaco.
Or maybe it was just a great opportunity to open the oldest and most French of film festivals with a local tale, starring the first lady of French cinema Catherine Deneuve.
Either way, there is a lot of excitement ahead of the first opening film at Cannes to be directed by a woman since 1987.
Theron is of course here for the screening of Mad Max: Fury Road in which she stars with Tom Hardy. He's taken on the iconic role first played by Mel Gibson more than 30 years ago.
Aimed squarely at petrolheads and Fast and Furious fiends, the film nevertheless has a strong feminist streak slicing through the male machismo.
There is some truly astounding stunt work on the chase scenes, filmed in a north African desert, and the cinematography is incredible. And it has souped up cars and trucks - lots of them. All very powerful and very, very loud.
Bercot's drama, about a French delinquent, seems almost sedate by comparison.
Which one is Mr Aspel looking forward to most?
The patent, belonging to a firm called eDekka, related to "methods of storing information" which included the use of labels - but the judge said this could apply to routine activities.
The US patent system allows companies to acquire the rights to inventions and demand money for their use, without making products of their own.
Critics call it "patent trolling".
However, in the case of eDekka against online retailer 3balls.com judge Rodney Gilstrap ruled that "the claimed idea represents routine tasks that could be performed by a human" and was therefore not worth protection by patent law.
The District of East Texas has traditionally been favourable towards patent claimants, in part because of its rules on swift litigation processes, which can put pressure on defendants to settle disputes quickly, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
However, Judge Gilstrap's ruling on the 3balls case last month also included all other defendants facing similar legal action from the firm regarding the same patent.
"US judges, even in the notoriously troll-friendly Eastern District of Texas, increasingly invalidate patents for claiming monopolies on abstract ideas," patent expert Florian Muller told the BBC.
EDekka, which has no online presence, is one of the most prolific filers of patent lawsuits.
In 2014, it filed more than 100 allegations of patent misuse.
The new ruling means its patent, number 6,266,674 is, in effect, wiped out.
Boris Johnson was launching MedCity, aimed at strengthening links between hospitals, universities and businesses in the South East.
It will receive £2.9m from the Higher Education Funding Council for England, and £1.2m from the mayor's own office.
More than 700,000 people in the region work in the life sciences sector.
Life sciences concern the study of living organisms, and disciplines include biology, zoology and biochemistry.
Mr Johnson said the sector in the South East would one day match the "crucial position" of financial services in the nation's economy, and that MedCity would ensure greater collaboration between universities.
He told John Humphrys on Radio 4's Today programme: "There's too much individual pride; there's too much resting on their own reputations.
"We would be utterly mad not to demonstrate to the rest of the world what we are doing and to invite more investment and get more companies to come here."
The £500m Francis Crick Institute is due to open in London in 2015, and Cambridge has opened a new £212m MRC Laboratory for Molecular Biology.
Oxford University has proposed a £21m "BioEscalator" to bring together its medical research.
Sir John Bell, Regius Professor of medicine at Oxford University and a member of the MedCity advisory board, said attracting more life science firms to Oxfordshire could "only be good news for UK health science and the economy".
Ben Illidge, 33, from Northwich, Cheshire, admitted seven animal regulation and welfare offences.
Caernarfon Crown Court heard the puppies were in "overcrowded cages" on 15 November last year.
Illidge was given an 18-week suspended jail term and ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work and pay a £1,600 fine plus £1,313 in court costs.
The court heard there were Labradors, terriers, beagles, spaniels and Pomeranians - aged between six and nine weeks - in five cages stacked in the back of a "very hot" van, with no ventilation, searched at Holyhead.
District judge Gwyn Jones said: "This was a money-making venture.
"Hopefully it may make you and others understand attempting to avoid these regulations will not pay."
Police, border force, RSPCA and other officials had conducted an operation against the illegal movement of animals.
The court heard Illidge had planned to sell the animals after buying them in an Irish market and he was "naive".
Sarah Yates, defending, said the puppies had not been in the van more than a few hours and were "in good health".
Welsh music was seemingly at the peak of its powers in 1999, at a time when the country was about to acquire brand new ones with the first members elected to the National Assembly in May.
The bulldozers had long-since demolished the old national stadium and by October, a new venue had risen up as Wales prepared to host the Rugby World Cup.
With the Millennium Stadium preparing to play a leading role in the latest global tournament, 1999 is remembered as a period of nervousness and excitement, with nobody sure if Wales was ready to be placed so firmly under the spotlight. But 16 years on, some believe it was a defining year that helped shape the modern country.
"We were on the cusp of something," said Rhodri Morgan, who was the new Cardiff West AM. "But would we succeed? I don't think anybody really knew."
He pointed to the result of the devolution referendum - 50.3% voted for and 49.7% voted against setting up the Assembly - as evidence people were not confident.
"There was nervousness we wouldn't be able to hack it, there'd be horrendous mistakes, 'jobs for the boys' and scandal after scandal," he said.
"The north of the country was also convinced the south would dominate while the south was convinced the Welsh language would be rammed down their throats."
Mr Morgan, who would serve as first minister from 2000 to 2009, believed there was similar anxiety surrounding Wales' ability to host the Rugby World Cup.
But he said the year proved to be a "key stepping point" for the country, saying: "It was touch and go if the Millennium Stadium would be ready.
"It was only just finished on time and I remember a piece of the roof fell off during the opening ceremony. It could have been a disaster.
"But as it happened all was well and as a country, I think we're more confident now."
Entertainer Max Boyce, who wrote a special version of his song Hymns and Arias for the opening ceremony, said hosting the tournament helped reaffirm Wales' national identity.
"Shirley Bassey, Catatonia and Bryn Terfel gave an experience of us as a musical nation," he said.
"There was no Olympic games extravaganza, we just sang our hearts out and showed we are the land of song.
"It was also important to show we could stage a tournament of that significance. We showed that a little nation can achieve great things."
After a decade in the international doldrums, the national rugby team was also starting to believe again.
Victory over England at Wembley in April and a first ever win over South Africa in June, sent them into the tournament thinking they could lift the Webb Ellis trophy.
"The support we had, the encouragement gave us belief that we could win it in our own country. We knew what it would have meant and had to believe it was possible," said Gareth Thomas, who appeared in four World Cups in total.
While Wales exited to eventual winners Australia at the quarter final stage, Thomas felt what happened off the field was of greater significant than the team's performance.
"It was far more about the country, the culture and the infrastructure," he said.
"Wales as a nation was starting to grow from there. It is just an incredible stadium in the heart of the city and it has become such a huge part of Wales.
"To be there at the start was amazing."
The year would end with Manic Street Preachers headlining Leaving the 20th Century at the stadium - a massive millennium eve concert that could have been their last.
They were "at the peak of their powers", according to Iestyn George, the band's marketing manager from 1999 to 2003.
But this left them unsure of where they could go after such a monumental show beamed around the world.
"They were where they had always wanted to get," said Mr George.
"But there wasn't euphoria that they'd finally made it and were the biggest out there. Instead, there was a lot of soul searching and the first question was 'what do we do next?'
"As a fan, I'm very grateful, as they could quite easily have left it at that and not been around for the next 15 years."
While 1999 was a formative year for both the National Assembly and Millennium Stadium, Mr George believes musically, a movement that emerged at the start of the decade from the Newport club scene had reached its zenith by the time the Manics, Super Furry Animals and Feeder played that gig.
"At the start of the 90s, there was nothing here, we hadn't had any Welsh artists having hits for a long time. It was very difficult for Welsh bands to be recognised, people didn't travel and big record companies didn't come here," he said.
"But because of Newport club TJ's, people started coming to see bands like The 60ft Dolls, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Catatonia and Dub War."
He believes this movement changed the perception of Welsh music forever, adding: "It empowered people. It will happen again, but now, it is not a big deal when a band is Welsh, it is not their primary reason for being."
Cardiff will once again welcome the rugby world over the coming weeks - but visiting fans may find quite a lot has changed in the 16 years since the city hosted the World Cup.
Hu Shigen pleaded guilty in Tianjin to "damaging national security and harming social stability", said state media.
On Tuesday, Zhai Yanmin was found guilty of subversion and handed a three-year suspended jail sentence. Two more activists also face trial.
The cases have been widely seen as an attempt to silence government critics.
Around 300 lawyers and activists have been arrested since last year as part of the nationwide campaign. About 20 are still detained.
How seriously do Chinese take 'confession' videos?
Hu was convicted after a trial lasting a few hours. He was described by state broadcaster CCTV as the "leader of an underground church" that masqueraded as a religious body but was dedicated to drawing attention to allegations of government abuses.
State media quoted prosecutors as saying his "ideology and his behaviours have seriously harmed the country and social stability".
He had previously served 20 years in prison for the now-abolished charge of counter-revolution, but was released in 2008.
China's crackdown targeted the country's small human rights advocacy movement, and involved lawyers tackling cases to do with freedom of speech, religion or abuses of power.
Several linked to the same Beijing law firm, Fengrui, were arrested.
On Monday, prominent Fengrui lawyer Wang Yu was apparently released on bail, after a video appeared in which she renounced her legal work.
But it was not clear when the video was filmed, nor whether Ms Wang was now free.
Fengrui's head, Zhou Shifeng, and another activist Gou Hongguo are also going on trial in Tianjin this week.
The detained lawyers and activists are widely known as "709", a reference to the date the crackdown was launched on 9 July 2015.
In a statement earlier this week, the families and supporters called the trials "ridiculous and evil", calling for them to be given international attention.
The 59-year-old was elected as the body's first independent chairman on a two-year term in May last year.
Manohar, a two-time president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said the decision was because of personal reasons.
"I hope the ICC achieves greater heights in future," the Indian added.
The ICC confirmed it had received Manohar's resignation on Wednesday, adding that it would "assess the situation" before making any further announcements.
Manohar had previously sought to reduce the power of England, Australia and India - the so-called Big Three - on the ICC's decision-making executive committee.
Speaking in February 2016, he stated: "No member of the ICC is bigger than the other."
A final decision on a new governance structure was due to be taken at a meeting in April.
The numbers attending have grown, but so have counter-demonstrations by Germans alarmed by what they see as Islamophobia and who want to defend tolerance and diversity.
The terror attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris may boost support for Pegida, amid fear and anger over Islamist violence.
What is Pegida?
It stands for "Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West" (in German: Patriotische Europaer Gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes).
Pegida supporters say people need to "wake up" to the threat from Islamist extremists. They want Germany to curb immigration, accusing the authorities of failing to enforce existing laws.
A record 25,000 attended the Pegida march in Dresden on 12 January.
Yet Dresden has far fewer immigrants than many other German cities.
Among the slogans at the rallies is "wir sind das Volk" (we are the people) - a deliberate echo of the anti-communist citizens' marches in former East Germany in 1989.
Pegida says it is defending "Judeo-Christian" values and its 19-point manifesto avoids racist language. It is against "preachers of hate, regardless of what religion" and against "radicalism, whether religiously or politically motivated".
It is against "anti-women political ideology that emphasises violence" but "not against integrated Muslims living here".
It challenges what it sees as liberal political correctness and multiculturalism in Germany - the values that dominated West German politics after World War Two.
Pegida's anti-Islam rallies stir fears of German Turks
How did it begin?
It was launched as a Facebook group by Lutz Bachmann, 41, a chef-turned-graphic designer who insists that he is not racist. He has admitted to past criminal convictions, including for drug-dealing, and has spent time in jail.
The numbers swelled through social media, and soon the group attracted right-wing followers from some established political parties.
Who supports Pegida?
It has attracted a variety of right-wing and far-right groups, as well as ordinary citizens who worry about conservative Islam and its impact on German society. Supporters are generally fed up with establishment politicians.
Some neo-Nazi groups have praised Pegida. At the rallies some demonstrators have shouted "press liars!" at journalists - a phrase harking back to the Nazis.
Members of Alternative for Germany (AfD) - a new right-wing anti-euro party which also wants tougher immigration controls - support Pegida too. An AfD leader, Alexander Gauland, called Pegida supporters natural political allies.
AfD has members in some regional parliaments in Germany and may woo voters away from Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling centre-right Christian Democrats.
Some Germans have made long journeys to attend the Dresden rallies, and Pegida has also staged smaller rallies in other cities. Football hooligans linked to the far-right scene have also joined Pegida marches.
A Pegida march was due to be held in Oslo, Norway, on 12 January. And Pegida followers plan marches in Denmark in a week's time.
Who is against Pegida?
German mainstream politicians have criticised Pegida and thousands of Germans have joined counter-demonstrations to show support for tolerance and multiculturalism.
About 35,000 people rallied against Pegida in Dresden on 10 January, anxious to show that the city was open and tolerant.
In her New Year address Chancellor Merkel urged citizens to shun Pegida: "Do not follow people who organise these rallies, for their hearts are cold and often full of prejudice, and even hate."
Politicians and celebrities signed a petition in Bild, Germany's biggest-selling daily, to protest against Pegida. They included ex-Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and retired footballer Oliver Bierhoff.
The petition said "no" to xenophobia and "yes" to diversity and tolerance.
On 5 January the anti-Pegida demonstrations were massive - crowds thronged the streets of Cologne, Stuttgart and Berlin.
There were dramatic gestures of support for the marchers: the lights of Cologne Cathedral were switched off, as were the lights at the Volkswagen plant in Dresden.
Rival German rallies over Islam
Why is Islam an issue in Germany now?
German politicians have long been among the most vocal in Europe in support of tolerance and diversity.
That spirit of openness was partly a reaction against the evils of Nazism.
But in the 21st Century jihadist violence and urban deprivation have provided fertile ground for anti-immigration groups.
Even before Pegida's emergence, the wearing of Muslim headscarves in schools had already become a political issue. Many German states have banned teachers from wearing headscarves.
A recent Bertelsmann Foundation survey suggested that 57% of non-Muslim Germans consider Islam a threat.
Last year Germany received more than 180,000 asylum claims - compared with 127,000 in 2013. Germany accommodates more asylum seekers than any other European country. In areas with large immigrant communities there is often more pressure on housing and social services.
Germany's ethnic Turkish community is the largest immigrant group, numbering about three million, and most are Muslims. Many have lived in Germany for decades and many are well integrated.
But among the new asylum seekers are many Muslim refugees from war-torn Syria and Iraq. Muslim Chechens and Afghans have also sought refuge in Germany.
Pegida supporters believe that immigration and national identity are issues too long neglected by politicians - so they are trying to raise public awareness.
But there is anxiety now that, in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo atrocity, such marches may stir up Islamophobia.
Germany struggles to cope with asylum surge
Q&A: Migrants and asylum in the EU
The Italian Olympic Committee's decision means the 43-year-old can return to the bench on 9 December.
Conte was banned in August for failing to report alleged match-fixing in two games when he was coach of Siena during the 2010-11 season.
He was later cleared in relation to one of these two matches.
Conte led an unbeaten Juventus side to the Serie A title last season, his first in charge, but had been set to miss the whole of the current campaign.
He took his case to the Italian Olympic Committee, the country's final appeal court for sports disputes, after being handed his original ban by the Italian Football Federation.
Under the terms of his suspension, he is excluded from the Juventus dugout and dressing rooms on matchdays, but can take training during the week.
Technical director Massimo Carrera is leading the team on matchdays during Conte's ban.
Conte was originally accused of wrongdoing over Siena's matches against Albinoleffe and Novara two seasons ago.
He was subsequently cleared over the Novara match, but remains guilty of failing to report alleged corruption regarding the Albinoleffe game.
By the time he returns, Conte will have missed 15 Serie A matches and all six of Juve's group games in the Champions League, including both Group E meetings with Chelsea.
Conte's assistant at Siena and Juventus, Angelo Alessio, had his original eight-month ban reduced to six months on appeal.
The bans handed to Conte and Alessio relate to the wide-ranging investigation into the 'Calcioscommesse' scandal, which has seen more than 20 Italian teams examined as part of a match-fixing inquiry.
Roberta Brooks added the work at her Holyhead property caused thousands of pounds' of damage which has not been repaired.
She said contractors regularly left her gates open, with horses escaping.
Welsh Water said it sometimes needed to cross private land but liaised closely with landowners.
It added it was "committed to working" with Ms Brooks to resolve the matter and appreciated her cooperation.
Ms Brooks said she received assurances before the work began, in December 2015, that any damage would be repaired - but she has had to obtain quotes for the repairs herself to submit to Welsh Water and the work has still not been done.
"I've been banging my head against a brick wall for months," she said.
She was given £1,500 in compensation, but says her costs have risen thousands above this figure.
Ms Brooks estimates she has lost £3,620 in rental income from people keeping their horses on her land, and if she ends up footing the bill for the damage caused too, her costs could reach £10,000.
She has also experienced flooding since the work was completed and is no longer able to use one of her paddocks.
"I don't think I've made any money [since the work began]," she said.
"Any money I make over summer goes towards sustaining me over the winter, everything I make goes back into the land."
Ms Brooks said her clients removed their horses from her land after she had to inform them contractors left gates open meaning horses could mingle - potentially risking their health. She also had to rescue some which were heading towards the road.
"When the gate was first left open to the road I contacted Welsh Water and they said it wouldn't happen again, but it happened time and time again.
"In the end they stopped returning my calls," Ms Brooks said.
She added Welsh Water had changed their plans from the drawings originally submitted to her, seen by BBC Wales, and rather than just laying a pipe had also installed taps, a water outlet, manhole covers and a gate.
A Welsh Water spokeswoman said: "One of our main priorities at Welsh Water is to provide our customers with a reliable supply of clean, fresh drinking water.
"That is why last year we invested over £1m in replacing 4km of water main in Holyhead, Anglesey.
"To help us achieve this, we sometimes need to cross private land. In these circumstances, we always liaise closely with all relevant landowners in advance of the work starting.
"We are aware of the issues raised by Mrs Brooks and continue to liaise with her regarding the matter. We have requested additional information and will review this as soon as it has been received."
The Nigerian international, 28, helped the Edinburgh club clinch the Scottish Championship title after joining on a short-term deal from Celtic on 1 March.
He played 12 games at centre-back and right-back, scoring one goal.
Hibs required an endorsement from the Scottish Football Association and a visa prior to the permanent deal for Ambrose being ratified.
The club have already recruited midfielder Danny Swanson from St Johnstone and striker Simon Murray from Dundee United as they bolster their squad for a return to the Premiership.
Chief executive Leeann Dempster said: "Efe is a player of real quality, and one who excited the fans when he arrived on a short-term deal.
"The club as a whole are delighted to be bringing in a player with his quality and experience.
"[Manager] Neil [Lennon] was really keen to get Efe over the line, and we're delighted to have been able to achieve that.
"Bringing in a player like Efe is a coup and the supporters played their part. We now have over 11,300 season ticket holders; this is the sort of backing that helps us to bring in players with his quality as we prepare for the season ahead."
The Scotland rink, who compete as Great Britain at the Olympics, won six and lost five in Edmonton, Canada.
That meant skip David Murdoch's team missed out on the medal matches.
Britain's men, 2014 silver medallists, join Eve Muirhead's women's team, who won a place in Pyeongchang Games with World Championship bronze in March.
Scotland had to win their last three games in Edmonton to salvage Olympic qualification for Team GB. Following a 6-2 victory over Italy on Wednesday and Germany (7-1) early on Thursday, Murdoch's rink achieved the Olympic berth with a dramatic late-night extra-end 7-6 victory over Russia.
With results from the 2016 and 2017 World Championships taken into consideration, Britain secured a place at the 2018 Games by just one qualification point.
GB could also qualify in mixed curling, which will make its Olympic debut in South Korea.
About half of women in Rustenburg had been subject to sexual violence or intimate partner violence, it said.
The charity said the findings of its survey were "shocking but not uncommon" in South Africa.
South Africa has one of the highest incidences of rape in the world and a low prosecution rate.
Based on its survey of more than 800 women aged 18-49 in Rustenburg municipality, north-west of Johannesburg, MSF said only 5% of the approximately 11,000 women and girls raped each year reported the incident to a health worker.
The research also suggested that a very low number of these women were aware of how to prevent HIV transmission and even pregnancy.
MSF said survivors of sexual violence faced numerous other barriers to seeking care.
"Stigma within communities is high and options are few for accessing well-resourced, dedicated sexual violence health services," it said.
Despite lying at the centre of South Africa's platinum belt, Rustenburg is home to many poor communities.
The area attracts both men hoping to work in the mines and women from across South Africa and abroad who hope to benefit from the local mining economy.
MSF said unemployment was particularly high for migrant women "creating conditions that promote dependency on men who are more readily employed by mines in the area".
The charity said there was a need to increase the number of staff trained in sexual healthcare in the area.
The BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg says the authorities hope ongoing awareness campaigns will encourage rape victims to seek medical attention and even legal recourse.
The survey was published on the fourth anniversary of the shooting by police of striking workers at the Marikana mine in the Rustenburg municipality.
Thirty-four people died in what was the worst violence in South Africa since the end of apartheid 20 years earlier. The incident led to intense scrutiny over the roles of the police, mining companies, unions and the government.
As Conservative Party chairman under Margaret Thatcher in the early 1980s, he played a key role in the Tories' 1983 general election victory.
Lord Parkinson quit the cabinet soon after when it emerged his ex-secretary Sara Keays was carrying his child.
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "a man of huge ability" who had helped transform the UK in the 1980s.
Paying tribute in Downing Street, Mr Cameron said he had "learnt a lot" from Lord Parkinson at the start of his political career, describing him as part of "a great political generation that really did extraordinary things for our country".
And Mark Thatcher said Lord Parkinson had been a "great personal friend" to his family.
As they confirmed his death, a family spokesman said: "We shall miss him enormously. As a family, we should like to pay tribute to him as a beloved husband to Ann and brother to Norma, and a supportive and loving father to Mary, Emma and Joanna and grandfather to their children.
"We also salute his extraordinary commitment to British public life as a member of parliament, cabinet minister and peer - together with a distinguished career in business."
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said Cecil Parkinson was one of Margaret Thatcher's closest political allies but said that his career was "undone" by the scandal that engulfed him following his affair with Ms Keays.
The former chartered accountant and businessman was central to Margaret Thatcher's political agenda and achievements in office, he added.
Lord Parkinson was in the front rank of Conservative politics for three decades, first being elected to Parliament in 1970.
After becoming a junior minister after Margaret Thatcher's 1979 election victory, he swiftly rose through the ranks and was named party chairman and elevated to the cabinet in 1981. He was a member of the war cabinet during the 1982 Falklands conflict.
He was tipped to be named foreign secretary after overseeing the Tories' landslide election victory in 1983. But he was given the more junior role of trade and industry secretary and it later emerged he had fathered a child with his former secretary, prompting him to resign in October 1983.
Former Conservative cabinet minister Michael Portillo said this scandal had "definitely held back his career" but the fact that he was offered a cabinet post at all was testament to his closeness to the PM.
Former Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind said Lord Parkinson would have been "the most natural candidate" to succeed Margaret Thatcher had events not turned out in the way they did.
"John Major eventually filled the gap that Cecil Parkinson would have had," he told the BBC News Channel. "But Cecil Parkinson was in reality a Thatcherite while John Major, as Margaret Thatcher eventually discovered, was not nearly as close to her, as she had hoped and assumed".
The former prime minister regarded Cecil Parkinson as "one of us", Sir Malcolm added: "He shared her views, thoughts and ideas. She was comfortable with him and had confidence in him, In addition, at a personal level, he was able to charm her."
After being brought back into government by Margaret Thatcher in 1987, Cecil Parkinson served as energy and transport secretaries.
He stood down as an MP in 1992 and was elevated to the House of Lords. He briefly made a comeback as Tory Party chairman, under William Hague, after the party's general election hammering in 1997.
Lord Hague described him as "an exceptional talent and an extraordinarily nice man to work with".
Other members of the current government have also been paying tribute. Chancellor George Osborne tweeted: "Sad to hear of death of Cecil Parkinson. I worked with him when he was party chairman in 1997-8 - he was there in our hour of greatest need."
And former minister Alan Duncan said Lord Parkinson was "personable, amusing, easy-going and mischievously witty". "He started as Margaret Thatcher's great marketing man for overseas trade and turned into one of the great personalities of the Thatcher era," he said.
When the scandal over Cecil Parkinson's infidelity broke during the 1983 Conservative Party conference, Ms Keays claimed the politician had agreed to leave his wife Ann for her.
In her book, A Question Of Judgement, Ms Keays claimed that the then Mr Parkinson had "begged" her to have an abortion and that he had "haggled over every pound" of financial support for their daughter Flora.
But the Conservative politician insisted that he had voluntarily made more than adequate provision for Flora - who was diagnosed at an early age with learning disabilities and Asperger's syndrome, and had an operation to remove a brain tumour when she was four.
In 1993, Cecil Parkinson and Sara Keays secured an injunction to prevent any information being published about Flora or her schooling until she turned 18. The court order was designed to protect her privacy but was later disowned by Miss Keays.
In an interview in 2002, after the gagging order had expired, Flora Keays said her father had "behaved very badly" towards her and her mother but hoped that one day he would become "part of our lives".

Triumph Over Phobia (TOP) supports sufferers of phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and other related anxiety issues.
The charity, founded in Bath, said 10% of people in south Wales suffer from phobias and 3% have OCD.
Members said it "changed their lives" by helping them overcome their fears.
"The thoughts became more invasive to the point that I thought, 'if I don't do that, someone in my family will die'," said Pamela Fox.
She suffered with OCD from the age of 17 and feared contamination from germs and dirt.
It drove her to the point where she could not touch anything on the floor - not even shoes with laces in case they had brushed along the ground.
Things would have to be wiped down and thoroughly cleaned before her "intrusive" thoughts could subside.
As part of her OCD, objects also had to be central - so she could only wear clothing with a zip down the middle and she changed her hairstyle to a mid-parting.
The 54-year-old was finally able to overcome the disorder within six months with the help of TOP in Bath.
"I tried to rationalise my OCD but it goes beyond that after a while. All you are trying to do is get rid of your anxiety. It drains you," said Mrs Fox, who has since gone on to run the group.
"I was checking things all the time, all supposing that if I didn't, something dreadful would happen.
"It changed my life immensely. A lot of people haven't discussed their situation because of the stigma attached so to be able to go into a room and share it with people who have a similar mind, who understand, it's a big step forward."
Olivia Lawler, 21, a third-year student at Bristol University, started going to the TOP group in Bristol two years ago.
She is trying to tackle two phobias at the same time - a fear of spiders and the other of blood or injury.
Her arachnophobia would leave her "hysterical" and unable to stay at home on her own, while she would have to flee a room if someone so much as even mentioned cutting their finger.
"It was really embarrassing - it was having a really negative impact on me," she said.
"Now I'm able to catch big house spiders on my own and put them out of the window. With blood injuries, I can now watch Casualty and Holby City [on TV].
"It's about rationalising. It's improved my overall confidence and given me my independence back."
The charity now wants to launch a group in Cardiff, after receiving £5,000 funding from the city's grant-making Waterloo Foundation.
It is searching for two volunteers to help launch the group and is encouraging people who want help in overcoming their phobia or OCD to get in touch.
Trilby Breckman, TOP UK development manager, said exposure therapy, facing their fear in a controlled way, is used alongside cognitive behaviour therapy, to help change their way of thinking.
"People think there's no treatment and they just have to get on with it. Sometimes phobias and OCD aren't taken very seriously," she said.
"It can be really debilitating. But the good thing is it can easily be overcome, you just need hard work and determination."
The complaints centred around the programme's reference to a member of staff giving birth in warehouse toilets.
It said Inside Out East Midlands had misled the audience and not given the company an opportunity to respond to this "serious allegation".
The BBC Trust rejected both points.
The programme, Investigating Sports Direct, was broadcast on BBC One on 5 October last year.
As a result of the programme and other media coverage, MPs in the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee examined working practices at Sports Direct.
In their report, the MPs accused Sports Direct of not treating its workers like humans.
The programme included testimony from Sports Direct agency workers who said they were managed by a "six strikes" disciplinary policy. Workers would be sacked if they exceeded six strikes in a six-month period, for "offences" including reported sickness, excessive chatting, and excessive or long toilet breaks.
Workers alleged that this policy meant they attended shifts even when they were ill.
Sports Direct had two points of complaint:
The BBC Trust noted that the reference to the birth was "factually accurate" and "went no further than the known facts".
It also said Sports Direct had been given an adequate "right of reply".
The Business, Innovation and Skills Committee chairman, Labour MP Iain Wright, has thanked the programme for its work.
"We wouldn't have been here, and we wouldn't have had any success in the select committee had it not been for... Inside Out," he said.
"Ultimately, as a result of the work of Inside Out, thousands of lives, workers at Sports Direct, will now start seeing their conditions improve, and their lives improve as a result."
Sports Direct has not yet commented on the BBC Trust's finding.
The birth of the baby in the warehouse toilets was widely reported when it happened in January 2014, including by the BBC.
The BBC Trust noted that the information was therefore already in the public domain prior to the programme's broadcast.
Police investigated the circumstances of the birth and charged the mother, a Polish woman in her 20s, with abandoning her baby.
However, the case was later dropped before the mother was due to stand trial.
Earlier police said there was no evidence of suspicious circumstances following the discovery in the grounds of Gogar Mount House on 9 January.
The death of the person is being treated as unexplained by police.
Forensic officers are still working to establish the identity of the remains and an investigation is ongoing.
Forensic examinations at nearby Gogarburn Golf Club have also ended.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Inquiries are ongoing to identify the human remains found at Gogarstone."
The Commission argues that the new road charge discriminates against foreign drivers. It has sent Germany a warning, which can be escalated to a court case.
Germany planned to introduce the scheme in 2016, but it has now been postponed.
The annual toll fee would be up to €130 (£93; $146). But Germans would get €74 refunded through a cut in vehicle tax.
The new scheme - called "Pkw-Maut" - would make drivers pay to use the famous Autobahn network and other major highways.
Drivers would have to display a windscreen sticker as proof of having paid the toll.
The German government argues that Pkw-Maut could generate €500m annually to spend on road infrastructure.
But a Commission statement said the scheme "burdens EU-foreigners more than German users".
Foreign drivers - many of them tourists - have the option of buying cheaper short-term stickers, but the Commission says the price is still "disproportionally high".
The Commission favours instead "proportional, distance-based user charges, which better reflect the user and polluter pays principles, to support infrastructure maintenance".
The Commission said its interventions had worked previously in Austria and Slovenia, where similar road toll schemes had been revised to avoid discrimination.
The Outlet in Banbridge was opened in 2007 at a cost of £70m, but almost a third of its shop space is vacant.
Planning approval is now being sought to switch part of its use from retail to leisure.
The proposals would create an eight-screen cinema, a large children's indoor play centre and two restaurants.
The property consultants behind the plans, the Lotus Group, said it would "inject new energy" into the Outlet, create work and secure the park's 500 existing jobs.
It said it would also reduce the park's vacancy rate to 10%.
Ulster Bank has owned the park since the original developers got into difficulties.
The Outlet was built to capitalise on cross-border trade, but never attracted the numbers of shoppers envisaged. Recently it was valued at £16m.
The Northern Ireland Independent Retail Trade Association described the proposals as "emergency surgery".
Chief executive Glyn Roberts said: "We are concerned that these new plans will be to the detriment of existing jobs and small businesses in Banbridge town centre.
"It will draw trade and footfall away."
If planning approval is granted, the cinema and other new businesses could be opened by early next year.
The park is also in line for a new 60,000 sq ft Tesco Extra store.
PC Neil Doyle, 36, died after being struck by a "pile driver" punch in the early hours of 19 December 2014.
At Liverpool Crown Court, Andrew Taylor, 29, was jailed for seven years and six months and Timmy Donovan, 30, of Huyton, for six years and 10 months.
A third man, Christopher Spendlove, was cleared of manslaughter in July.
The trial judge, Mr Justice Turner, told the pair, who were convicted under joint enterprise law: "There is no such thing as a death-proof punch."
The judge rejected any suggestion the men acted in "excessive self-defence."
Andrew Taylor's barrister, Lord Carlile, said the family may never know who struck the fatal blow and had the punch landed slightly to the left or right "the consequences would have been entirely different."
PC Doyle suffered an injury to an artery in his neck, which led to bleeding over the surface of the brain.
It was the same injury that killed Australian cricketer Philip Hughes, the trial heard.
Two of his colleagues, Merseyside officers Michael Steventon and Robert Marshall, were also injured in the confrontation.
In a victim impact statement read in court, PC Doyle's widow Sarah said her world had been "torn apart".
She said they had been "inseparable" and "soul mates" and "I still hold the belief my husband was targeted because he was a police officer."
"I feel numb, emotionless, lost, like I am among the outside of the situation looking in."
As the statement was read to the court, she sobbed in the public gallery.
"Seeing him lying in the gutter like a dying cat, not one person going over to help, I will never get the image out of my head," the statement said.
Less than six months after their July 2014 wedding, she was "standing at the bottom of the aisle with Neil in a coffin" and felt it was a "life sentence."
Taylor's barrister, Lord Carlile, said PC Neil Doyle was a "victim of a terrible set of circumstances."
CCTV of the build-up to the incident shows the two groups of men outside a club.
The footage was released by Merseyside Police following sentencing in court.
In a letter read to the court, Taylor, a former Forest Green Rovers footballer, said: "I offer my most sincere apologies to the family.
"I will regret walking up Seel Street every day."
He said he had brought great shame upon his family and accepted full responsibility.
The trial heard Donovan, a sports events manager, had travelled to Germany on the day of PC Doyle's killing.
He was also sentenced for causing wounding with intent.
His legal representative Howard Godfrey said: "I do not accept that it is fair to conclude that it was Mr Donovan who struck the fatal blow."
The judge replied: "Well he shouldn't have gone to Germany, should he?
"Instead of staying behind and facing the music, he decided he'd skip the jurisdiction."
Det Supt Mike Shaw, of Merseyside Police, said: "We hope the prison sentences that Andrew Taylor and Timmy Donovan are now starting will serve as a stark reminder about the devastating consequences of alcohol-fuelled violence that can have on so many people.
"Neil Doyle lost his life because of this moment of aggression and PCs Robert Marshall and Michael Steventon suffered serious injuries, too."
He said Taylor and Donovan had also ruined their lives and the incident could have been avoided "had the defendants not chose to inflict violence on three men enjoying an innocent Christmas night out".

Ireland clocked 3:08.64 - 1.01 seconds slower than their semi-final time when they clinched a fastest losers spot.
Poland took silver with France earning the bronze medal.
Ballymena & Antrim's Newell and Bangor's Mellon were joined by Donegal man Karl Griffin and Trim's Harry Purcell in the Irish quartet.
Dublin-based Mellon reached the semi-finals of the individual 400m in Poland as he equalled his personal best of 47.23 seconds.
Ireland's 4x400m women's team finished sixth in their final while Sarah McCarthy placed 11th in the long jump final after a best leap of 6.21m.

Healthcare professionals will be trained to understand how to treat FGM's psychological impact, the government said.
FGM refers to any procedure that alters or injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
The news comes on the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM.
The Department of Health has been working alongside survivor groups and charities to understand mental health implications.
Online training tools and guidance for NHS healthcare professionals will be developed, with advice on the specific mental health needs of women affected.
The announcement aims to ensure NHS staff in England are better equipped to deal with the long-term effects of the practice, which is also known as female circumcision.
Public Health minister Jane Ellison said: "I think it's the next obvious step in how we support girls and women who've been through FGM.
"We've made a lot of progress on the physical side of things but what really comes through from the conversations that you have with people who've been through FGM, is that the trauma can stay with them for a lifetime."
Doctors, nurses, midwives and teachers in England and Wales are legally required to report cases of FGM to the police.
The government says it is committed to ending the "abusive and illegal practice" within a generation.
A recent study estimated that about 137,000 people in England and Wales have been affected by FGM.
Between July and September last year, 1,385 cases were reported, with the highest number in London.
Christina - not her real name - is 42 and lives in west London. She was circumcised in Eritrea, east Africa, when she was six.
She was called into a room after being told her grandmother had come to visit.
"I went in and I was held down by four ladies and that's when they did it," she said.
"I was screaming for my mother but she wasn't there.
"My father didn't even know about it."
Christina has been having counselling sessions with healthcare professionals and now paints to try to help deal with the impact of the experience.
"I'd say right now, more than the physical part, it's the mental part I find difficult," she said.
"I started having flashbacks, it was a shock. It felt like it had happened now and not 36 years ago."
The Hillcrest Surgery in Ealing, west London, is one of the only practices in the UK to provide specialised support to those affected by FGM.
Deqa Dirie is a healthcare advocate at the clinic and runs discussion groups where women have a safe space to talk about their experiences.
She said: "We see people from a number of different cultural backgrounds.
"It's important for professionals to be trained so that if they come across a lady who has FGM they know the best way to help her, not just physically but mentally too."

Pte Gavin Williams, 22, of Hengoed, Caerphilly, was made to do intensive exercise as an informal punishment.
Former sergeant Russell Price, one of three cleared of his manslaughter, said physical punishments were "common knowledge" at the time.
He was visibly upset giving video link evidence at Salisbury Coroners' Court.
The inquest was told on Wednesday an "extra system" of punishment operating outside official rules was in place when Pte Williams died in 2006.
He was ordered to carry out intensive exercise for drunken behaviour before collapsing at Lucknow Barrack in Wiltshire.
He suffered heart failure after the "beasting" and ecstasy was found in his blood when he died.
Mr Price, who had been tasked with addressing disciplinary problems within the battalion at the time, said the punishment was used to embarrass and senior officers would overlook it.
He said he did not recall being told to abide by disciplinary rules which stated physical training should not be used as a punishment.
Describing Pte Williams' treatment in the medical centre, Mr Price said: "It was horrible in there sir - I wasn't trained for it.
"One minute he'd be alright, and the next minute he'd be shouting 'get off me'."
But he denied witnessing any ill-treatment of Gavin.
"It was proper restraint, there was nothing clever going on," he said.
He added: "I am truly and deeply sorry for what's happened… it breaks my heart and I am so sorry for the loss of Gavin."
Opener Hales fractured a hand as England lost 2-0 in their series in India earlier this month.
England will play two matches in Antigua with a third in Barbados before the teams face each other again in England in the summer.
The West Indies are ninth in the one-day standings, four below England.
Sam Billings replaced Hales for the final ODI in the three-match series in India, and also opened the batting in the first of the Twenty20 matches against the same opposition.
Asked about taking on the role, he told BBC Sport: "At the moment I am just focusing on these next two games if I get another opportunity.
"I've just got to keep working hard at all aspects of my game.
"It's about being able to adapt from one to seven and offering as much as I can to the side."
England ODI squad: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex, captain), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Sam Billings (Kent), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), David Willey (Yorkshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire).
In February, a suicide bomber used a device in a computer to blow a hole in the side of a passenger plane at take-off in the capital, Mogadishu.

Police said two other devices were defused, including one in a printer.
Two police officers were among the wounded, said Lieutenant Colonel Ali Dhuh Abdi.
African Union troops from Djibouti and Somali government security forces were stationed at the security checkpoint.

Her comments followed a report about Avon Fire and Rescue that she said "makes grim reading".
She said: "We are looking at exploring options for different ways of governance".
Fire authority chair Donald Davies said "mistakes have been made".
The PCC said the report "left a nasty taste in the mouth".
"Particularly in the light of the austerity cuts that we've all had in the public sector," she said. "To see that firefighters have had a 1% pay rise and then there are some people at the top that have seen big pay rises and increases to their pensions."
The Home office report also found there was a perception that bullying and harassment were "endemic".
Independent investigator Craig Baker examined a period of six years from 2011.
He said the authority had "not exercised appropriate levels of scrutiny for some time" which led to "expensive mistakes" being made.
Councillor Davies, an independent at North Somerset Council and Chair of Avon Fire Authority, said: "Mistakes have been made in the past and they cannot be ignored.
"The biggest frustration to me is that in the past, when our budgets were not as squeezed as they are today, money was wasted.
"Now is the time for the members of Avon Fire Authority to work together and show the leadership which has been lacking in the past."
Geoff Webster was found not guilty of conspiring to commit misconduct in public office on Friday.
His counsel Geoffrey Cox QC said the law was "vague" and criticised the approach of police and prosecutors.
He also said the jailing of other reporters and editors raised questions of proportionality.
The four journalists, prosecuted as a result of Operation Elveden, were all cleared of wrongdoing after a trial at the Old Bailey.
Ex-chief reporter John Kay, 71, and former royal editor Duncan Larcombe, 39, said their contact with two military sources was in the public interest.
Former deputy editors Fergus Shanahan, 60, and Mr Webster, 55, were cleared of charges they signed off payments.
The court heard £100,000 was paid to Ministry of Defence official Bettina Jordan-Barber, who was jailed in January. Mr Webster had been accused of paying her for stories between 2004 and 2012, which he denied.
Mr Cox told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The jailing of journalists and editors for newsgathering, provided it was information not of a restricted or classified kind, does raise questions as to proportionality.
"And if you have a vague law which applies to the newsgathering and editorial decisions, you have the risk that people will not report things that are in the public interest for fear of transgressing a vague law."
About 100 journalists have now been detained or interviewed under caution as part of the various police investigations into press practices.
Proving guilt has been rather more difficult: nine have been convicted of phone hacking; three for paying public officials.
Where reporters can demonstrate a clear public interest in stories for which payments are made - in John Kay's case army bullying, deaths in action and equipment failings - they have been acquitted.
Three years ago, the then director of public prosecutions, Sir Keir Starmer, anticipated the problems such cases would cause and issued guidelines about bringing charges.
The guidelines say if the public interest served by the conduct outweighs the overall criminality then it's less likely a prosecution will be required.
It is a difficult balance to strike - but given the latest verdicts, prosecutors may well review whether they've got it right.
Mr Cox said while he did not condone the breaching of confidentiality by those handling sensitive information, there has to be "proportionality in the use of the criminal law".
As the information at the heart of the trial was such that the Ministry of Defence or the Army "would put it into the public domain" themselves, and it was not classified, applying criminal law is "questionable in these circumstances", he argued.
The lawyer said the trial had a "massive impact" on Mr Webster's life, as well as that of his family.
"This has been three years of sheer hell and it's going to take a long time to recover from it," he added.
An editorial in the Sun on Saturday said that "the public have no appetite to convict and jail journalists for printing the truth".
The Crown Prosecution Service said it was unable to comment while related cases were on going.

They have been released with no further action for violent disorder.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can lead to the heart suddenly stopping.
Henry Roth, from Hampshire, proved different tests for the condition were needed for black and white athletes - which do not currently take place.
A cardiologist who worked with Henry on the project said he was "astonished" by the teenager's findings.
Henry was inspired to investigate the condition after the death of his uncle at the age of 21.
A research project emerged from a conversation with a cardiologist at St George's Hospital in London during tests on Henry's own heart.
They discussed how black athletes were at higher risk and the aspiring doctor resolved to find a better way of testing.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an inherited disease where the heart muscle becomes thickened, increasing the risk of the heart suddenly stopping.
Screening does take place, but intense exercise can also lead to a thicker heart - so some athletes might not be aware they have the condition.
Bolton footballer Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch in 2012 when his heart stopped, despite being described as one of the fittest players at the club.
Marc-Vivien Foe, the Cameroon footballer, died during an international match in 2003.
An alternative way of testing involves looking at the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use up at the limits of physical exercise. Those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cannot reach the same peak.
Henry's study on elite athletes found differences between black and white athletes, but these were not accounted for during screening.
It meant black athletes were less likely to be diagnosed.
Henry, who studied at Guildford's Royal Grammar School, said he could not believe the difference had not been identified already.
He told the BBC: "I was quite frankly shocked, but it takes people who are shocked to do something about it, make something happen and not sit back and accept normal practice."
Prof Sanjay Sharma, the medical director of the London Marathon and the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young, said: "Henry has a thirst for researching the heart, driven by his own family's experience of sudden cardiac death.
"He wants to make sure other families don't go through what he has experienced, and I have been really excited, and quite astonished, by the research he undertook with me and my colleagues at St George's Hospital.
"Henry's work has the potential to change the way we test athletes for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy."
Around one in 500 people in the UK has the condition, although it will not affect the lives of the majority of patients.
Henry explains: "An aeroplane on the ground with a mechanical fault is not dangerous, but as soon as you take it into the air it's dangerous.
"As soon as they go on to the field it leads to the possibility of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)."
Henry was also a finalist in the National Science and Engineering Competition.
He will be returning to St George's to continue the research before travelling during a gap year and then pursuing a career in medicine.

The project involved the construction of a new metre-high flood wall between Albert Dock and the Trans Pennine Trail.
The scheme was approved by the government after 300 homes and businesses were flooded by a tidal surge in December 2013.
The Environment Agency began construction work in November 2014.
The agency said the scheme had "greatly reduced" the risk of flooding for homes and businesses close to Albert Dock.
Funding for the defences came from the Environment Agency, Associated British Ports and the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership with support from Hull City Council.
The former London mayor, 70, has been accused by Labour's Alan Quinn of giving "grotesque offence" in Prestwich, with his Hitler comments.
The area has the UK's second biggest Jewish population and Labour lost seats to the Conservatives and Lib Dems.
Mr Livingstone said it was others in Labour who made an issue of it.
He said party MPs who had accused him of anti-semitism has "cost us seats all over the country."
Labour only held onto the third seat in Prestwich by 19 votes.
Mr Quinn called for suspended Livingstone to be expelled from the party.
"He's caused grotesque offence and the suspension needs to turn into expulsion," he said.
"This party should not be a place for bigots and racists.
"I was at a Holocaust memorial event a few days ago and I saw the raw emotion, anger and hurt that his crass comments have caused.
"Prestwich has a big Jewish population and a growing Muslim population. It is an example of how a community can live together. Livingstone's comments have damaged that. We need him out of the party."
Mr Quinn was angered after Paddy Heneghan, Labour's cabinet member for children, family and culture, lost the Holyrood ward to Lib Dem Steve Wright.
Conservative David Silbiger took Sedgley from Labour's Andrea Simpson - after a recount - by just 60 votes.
The Liberal Democrats lost control of Stockport after their leader was defeated and another defected to Labour an hour before voting ended.
Labour is the largest single party with 23 councillors while the Lib Dems have 21, the Tories 14 and there are five independents.
Stockport's Lib Dem leader Sue Derbyshire lost her seat when she was beaten by Labour's Charles Stewart.
Labour retained Bolton council but lost two seats to UKIP. Elsewhere in Greater Manchester the party retained control of Salford, Oldham, Tameside, Rochdale, Wigan while the Tories held onto their flagship council in Trafford.

Ms Rowling told the inquiry that children deserved privacy and that she had always tried to protect her private family life from the press, by taking measures which included wrapping them in blankets to hide them from paparazzi.
"They (children) have no choice over who their parents are or how their parents behave.
"A child, no matter who their parents are, deserves privacy. Where children are concerned the issue is fairly black and white."

A harsh and unforgiving light has been shone this week on some of the practices of the popular press.
The complainants have included those who chose fame and those who were flung out into the public glare.
All have detailed their woes at the hands of reporters and many have spoken of the power of newspapers and the strength needed to take them on. As JK Rowling put it, if you fight back against certain sections of the press, you can expect retribution.
The problems have been highlighted, but what of the solutions? Workable ones, which will please everyone, are so far thin on the ground.
The litany of malpractices will continue next week. More people who believe they have been wronged in the past will give evidence to Lord Justice Leveson in the hope he'll put it right for the future.
Witness statements
She said that when her daughter was in her first year at primary school, she unzipped her schoolbag one evening and "among the usual letters from school and the debris that a child generates, I found a letter addressed to me and the letter was from a journalist".
She added: "I felt such a sense of invasion that my daughter's bag.. it's very difficult to say how angry I felt that my five-year-old daughter's school was no longer a place of complete security from journalists."
The author also recalled how the PCC found in her favour after a photograph of her eight-year-old daughter in a swimsuit on a beach in Mauritius was published in OK magazine.
"I feel that given fact that an image has a life that cannot be recalled... I'm sure it is still out there, that's the particular harm of an image."
The writer said shortly after her son was born she was besieged by photographers.
After a week had passed she believed they had disappeared so she decided to leave the house and take her children out, however she soon realised that a photographer with a long lens was there.
"I rather absurdly gave chase. How I thought I was going to outrun a 20-something paparazzo while pushing a buggy. The cumulative effect, it becomes quite draining."
The author also told the inquiry how she had to sit down with her daughter to say an unpleasant character in a Harry Potter book was not based on her ex-husband, which was a "wholly untrue" story the Daily Express had published.
Ms Rowling then went on to discuss how she had been 'blagged', which is when somebody unknowingly reveals personal information.
She said in one instance shortly after she had moved house she received a phone call from somebody purporting to be from the Post Office saying they had a package for her and wanted to confirm her address.
"When I was blagged I realised half-way through giving the person details that I was being blagged," she said.
"This man said to me 'I am from the Post Office, I've got a package for you, what's your address?' Then I said 'Wait! You're from the post office, well what does it say on the package?' and he hung up."
Ms Rowling also said her then boyfriend (now husband) was duped by a journalist who pretended to be from the tax office into giving out personal information.
"He gave them everything - address, pay grade, National Insurance number. The next day flashes went off in his face - the paparazzi had found him."
The author added: "Like a lot of people who have agreed to give evidence at this inquiry, we are not asking for special treatment.
"We are simply asking for normal treatment... and I am simply asking for that on behalf of my children."
Ms Rowling confirmed she had not been a victim of phone hacking as "she hardly used her phone in the 90s".
Mr Mosley, who had won £60,000 in damages from the News of the World after a judge ruled that its story about his sex life had invaded his right to privacy, earlier told the inquiry of his outrage that photographs of him at a sadomasochistic orgy were published.
He said his son, who has since died, resumed taking drugs as he could not cope after seeing the photographs.
Mr Mosley also said a second story, purporting to be the account of a woman who had filmed the orgy, was later found to have been written by News of the World reporter Neville Thurlbeck, who he said had forced the woman to put her name to it.
Earlier, Ms Miller - who has been the subject of media attention for her relationships with partners such as actor Jude Law - told the inquiry about incidents where she said paparazzi had driven dangerously and illegally while following her.
She questioned why having a camera made it legal for people - sometimes as many as "10 to 15 men" - to chase her. "I would often find myself - I was 21 - at midnight running down a dark street," she said.
In his evidence, lawyer Mark Thomson - who has represented celebrities including Jude Law and Lily Allen - argued for a stronger regulatory system for the press.
"I really don't think that just a few adjustments to the PCC (Press Complaints Commission) will work," he said. "Some of the worst offenders are photographic agencies and paparazzi, and the PCC can't control them."
Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry is looking at the "culture, practices and ethics of the media" and whether the self-regulation of the press works.
A second phase of the inquiry will commence after the conclusion of a police investigation into News of the World phone hacking and any resultant prosecutions. It will examine the extent of unlawful conduct by the press and look at the police's initial hacking investigation.
St Peter's Seminary in Cardross was built in the 1960s as a college for priests but closed in the 1980s.
The A-listed building, near Helensburgh in Argyll, is derelict but considered by some to be a modernist masterpiece.
It is currently hosting a sound and lights show for Scotland's Festival of Architecture.
The £4.2m aims to secure its long-term role as an arts venue.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded £3,806,000 to Glasgow-based arts organisation NVA, which is leading the project to make St Peter's safe for performance art.
Creative Scotland is also contributing £400,000 towards the project.
Angus Farquhar, creative director of NVA, said: "This is a historic moment in the life of St Peter's Seminary.
"We are now able to start work on its permanent transformation into an international cultural centre that will speak to the creative life of Europe."
St Peter's opened as a training centre for priests in 1966 but fell into ruin after it closed its doors in 1980.
Despite not being used for more than 30 years, it continued to attract visitors due to its ground-breaking design by Isi Metzstein and Andy MacMillan of the former Gillespie, Kidd and Coia architects.
The plan is now to preserve what is left of the building and make it safe as a permanent arts venue.
Key elements of the building will be restored while others will be transformed to allow the public safe access to large scale events and performance as well as to stage smaller community activities.
The triple-height chapel will be partially-restored and converted into a 600-capacity venue, while the former sacristy and crypt will be a focal point for exhibitions.
Brian McLaren, chair of NVA, said: "The plans for the site will create a truly unique place where audiences and visitors can experience culture, learning and celebration of the site's remarkable heritage in genuinely new ways."
The transformation will include the 104-acre rural estate surrounding St Peter's - an estate which includes the remains of the 15th century Kilmahew Castle.
A path network based on the original 19th century designed landscape will be reinstated, historic bridges restored and the Victorian walled garden brought back into productive use.
It is expected that more than 200 people will become involved as volunteers.
Lucy Casot, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in Scotland, said: "After 25 years of decline, this ground-breaking project has the potential to save an internationally significant building, exploiting its commanding presence to produce an exceptional arts venue.
"Its appeal will attract new audiences from near and far. Its transformed estate will become a natural haven for the local community to explore, enjoy and be proud of."
The Hinterland event - a series of 10 sound and lights shows at St Peter's from 18 to 27 March - got under way last week to officially launch Scotland's Festival of Architecture.
The £4.2m funding should ensure that events of this type will be hosted regularly in the future.
Philip Deverell, director of strategy at Creative Scotland, said: "The recent success of the Hinterland festival held at St Peter's highlighted how important the building is to both the people of Scotland and the international architectural community.
"It seems fitting that in this the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design that we have taken steps to secure the future of this hugely significant building."
Two men entered the house on Cavehill Road at about 21:00 GMT on Sunday.
One of the men, who was wearing a Halloween mask, bound her hands with cable ties while the other searched the house.
After they made off with money, the woman was able to raise the alarm.
Appealing for information, Det Sgt Andrew Madden said police believed the burglars may have been accompanied by a third man.
"The first suspect is described as around 5ft 8in tall of stocky build," he said.
"He was wearing a dark green hoodie, grey tracksuit bottoms and a Halloween mask.
"The second is described as taller than the first and thin. He was wearing a black-coloured bomber jacket and had a scarf over his face."
Three of them went on to the pitch at Nottingham Forest's City Ground as smoke bombs were let off after their 1-0 win against Derby County on Friday.
All five, aged between 21 and 59 and from Nottingham, Mansfield or Derbyshire, have been charged with offences including invading the pitch and being drunk and disorderly.
Two other men who were arrested have been released without charge.
The tech firm revealed the change in a blog at the end of last week.
Google promised to make the move before the year's end to bring the consumer version of Gmail in line with its business edition.
The firm had faced much criticism over the years for the scans.
The measure helped justify the cost of offering the public one gigabyte of "free" webmail storage in 2004 - an offer that was so much greater than the competition at the time that many originally believed it to be a joke.
However, UK-based campaign group Privacy International tried to block the scans once it became apparent they were the cost of signing up to the service. The organisation tried and failed to get the country's data privacy regulator to intervene.
Then, a decade later, Microsoft ran a series of adverts, in which it first depicted a "Gmail man" searching through people's messages, and then went on to accuse the search giant of "crossing the line" causing its customers to be "Scroogled".
"When they first came up with the dangerous idea of monetising the content of our communications, Privacy International warned Google against setting the precedent of breaking the confidentiality of messages for the sake of additional income," the charity's executive director Dr Gus Hosein told the BBC.
"Of course they can now take this decision after they have consolidated their position in the marketplace as the aggregator of nearly all the data on internet usage, aside from the other giant, Facebook.
"The reality is that what you choose to say over email to another human being isn't as interesting for exploitation as the data you have no control over - Google would rather exploit your data by tracking you across the internet, across their mobile operating system, their search engine, their apps, their smart devices, and likely some day soon, their car, amongst a myriad of other services that they dominate through the exploitation of our data."
Google's blog notes that users can opt out of seeing personalised ads on any of its services by changing their account settings.
Another digital rights body, Big Brother Watch, was a little more positive.
"Whilst it could be seen as closing the stable door once the horse has bolted, there is no doubt that the end to the intrusive and frankly creepy process will be appreciated by a great many Gmail users," commented its chief executive Renate Samson.
"However, none of us must rest on our laurels.
"Whilst tech companies should see this as an opportunity to halt other intrusive snooping for advertising purposes, citizens equally should take greater care not to sign up to services which routinely share your personal information with third parties for the purposes of advertising or marketing.
"Google's move is absolutely a step in the right direction, let's hope it encourages others to follow suit."
While the ad-driven scans should soon stop, the news site Ars Technica has highlighted that Gmail messages will still be scanned by Google to provide artificial intelligence-powered "smart replies", malware-protection and sorting for search queries.
The Eyedrivomatic developed by Patrick Joyce, from Wells, Somerset, allows quadriplegic wheelchair users to steer, recline and change speed.
His wife woke him at 0400 GMT to tell him he had won the top Hackaday prize of $196,000 (£128,000).
Mr Joyce, 46, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2008.
Mr Joyce has spent two years developing the device, alongside his "test pilot" Steve Evans from Thames Ditton in Surrey.
It links existing Eyegaze software, used to control computers using eye movements, to a joystick on the controls of powered wheelchairs - it is attached to the control pad using "non invasive" velcro, so can be used on loaned wheelchairs.
Mr Joyce, who is terminally ill, can still control his wheelchair himself, but Mr Evans can only move his eyes.
As well as using the Eyedrivomatic to move around, Mr Evans has also successfully attached it to a Nerf gun to fire foam darts at his children.
Mr Joyce said: "I was gobsmacked that we won... The money comes at an opportune moment as our house is too small and we couldn't afford to move. I wasn't supposed to live as long as I have and we hadn't planned on me still being alive when our kids were teenagers."
He added: "I doubt Eyedrivomatic will be commercially developed. There are liability issues that would probably prevent it happening. But ... I designed it to be easy to build at home."
Jessica Lawson, from Wolfreton School, near Hull, was taken to hospital in Limoges by air ambulance on Tuesday afternoon.
A member of staff at Le Maury activity centre said the incident took place on the beach by a lake.
French radio reports have said Jessica was among a group jumping from a pontoon which had overturned.
It had then trapped some children beneath it.
Writing on Facebook, her sister Polly said: "We are in France doing everything we can to get her back into the country. All of your thoughts are appreciated at this time.
"Remember who she was and not who she could have been, it is important to respect and cherish there memories we had with her.
"Thanks everyone again."
Jessica had reportedly spent several days at the centre before her death.
Twenty four students and three staff were on the trip in the Massif Central region of France.
Head teacher Dave McCready said it was a "dreadful shock" to the whole school.
He added: "The parents and sister of [Jessica] are now in France and our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go to the family at this very difficult time.
"As a parent myself I only begin to imagine the pain felt by her parents and family at her death at such a young age."
Mr McCready said the rest of the students on the trip were being cared for by staff from the school and the activity centre.
"The school staff in France have the situation in hand and have been joined by two senior staff from the school, who travelled overnight to the activity centre site to provide further support."
He said the French authorities had already begun an investigation into what had happened and were interviewing the rest of the group.
"Once this procedure is completed plans will be implemented to bring the group home as soon as possible, " he said.
Jessica and the rest of the group had left for France on 18 July and had been due to return home on Thursday.
Steve Scott, managing director of trip organiser Activ4, said the group were swimming after activities scheduled by adventure camp staff had concluded.
He said: "A senior member of Activ4 staff is currently in Meymac, liaising with the adventure centre owners and staff, local authorities and French police, and providing support and assistance to teachers and students affected by the incident."
The East Riding of Yorkshire Council said it was also providing close support to the school and to the student's family and arrangements were being made for the school party to return home.
Mike Furbank, head of schools at the council, said: "There will be a full investigation into the incident and it would be inappropriate to comment further about the details of these tragic events, which the authorities in France are looking into."
The adventure centre, according to its website, has been operating for about 25 years and specialises in activities such as kayaking, canoeing, sailing and boarding as well as climbing, mountain biking and orienteering.
Mayor Geoff Gollop and Councillor Kevin Quartley found their vehicles burnt out at their homes, after two separate attacks in the early hours of Monday.
Avon and Somerset Police confirmed officers were called to properties in Henleaze and Bishopsworth.
He said the incidents were being treated as suspicious but it was unclear if they were linked.
"Anyone who was in Fallodon Way, Henleaze, or Kings Walk, Bishopsworth, in the early hours of Monday, is asked to contact police or Crimestoppers anonymously," the force spokesman added.
"Attacks such as these are cowardly and disgraceful, and we wish the investigators well in their efforts at bringing those responsible to justice," a statement from all political parties on the Liberal-Democrat-controlled council said.
Mr Gollop, who represents Westbury-on-Trym ward, said it was more frightening thinking about the fire afterwards.
"At the time the only concern was to get the family clear of the house and make sure we were all safe.
"It's only looking back on it that you wonder why and what caused anybody to think anything can be dealt with in that particular way," he added.
The FBI wants Apple to unlock an iPhone used by Syed Rizwan Farook, who killed 14 people in December last year.
Apple has resisted the demand saying the FBI order was "dangerous" and "unprecedented".
Speaking to the Financial Times, the Microsoft founder said complying would not put a backdoor in all iPhones.
"This is a specific case where the government is asking for access to information," he said in the interview. "They are not asking for some general thing, they are asking for a particular case."
Mr Gates said the case was similar to the requests regularly made to phone companies and banks for information.
In a separate interview with the BBC, Mr Gates reiterated his view that the issue came down to a debate about whether governments can get at data they use to protect citizens.
"Should governments be able to access information at all or should they be blind, that's essentially what we are talking about," he told the BBC.
Mr Gates also spoke to Bloomberg, and said he was "disappointed" that some parts of the media had suggested he had "backed" the FBI.
The Financial Times subsequently changed the headline of its report to reflect this.
Microsoft itself has not formally commented on the row between the FBI and Apple. However, when pushed on the issue Microsoft referred to a statement issued by the Reform Government Surveillance group of which it is a member.
That statement sides with Apple saying: "Technology companies should not be required to build in backdoors to the technologies that keep their users' information secure."
It emerged this week that the US Department of Justice is asking for Apple's help to get at data on iPhones relevant to more than a dozen separate investigations.
On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal said the cases came from several different criminal investigations and data locked on the handsets would help law enforcement.
It said none of the cases is believed to be related to terrorism and many involved older iPhones that lack the stronger security protections found on newer devices.
The New York Times subsequently reported that the DoJ was demanding Apple unlock "at least nine iPhones" in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston.
More recently, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg said he was "sympathetic" to Apple's stance in the row.
The attack in San Bernadino by Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik in December last year left 14 people dead and 22 injured.
In a statement published on Sunday, FBI director James Comey said its demand for access to the data on the phone was "about the victims and justice".
Slightly more than half of all Americans, 51%, when asked whether Apple should unlock the phone, believe it should comply with the FBI's order, according to a survey carried out by the Pew Research Center. Of those questioned, 38% said Apple should resist the call and 11% had no opinion.
On Monday, Apple boss Tim Cook sent a letter to the firm's employees about the row saying its refusal was about a broader civil rights issue not just this one case.
It also called for the US government to set up a government panel on encryption to look into the ways law enforcement can ask for access to data.
As well as Afghan civilians, the dead include one Briton with dual Afghan nationality, four Indians, two Pakistanis, and one citizen from each of the US, Italy and Kazakhstan.
The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The incident at the Park Palace Hotel began early on Wednesday evening.
Gunfire could still be heard from the guesthouse in central Kabul five hours later as Afghan forces retook the building room by room.
Some reports said that two suspected gunmen were among the dead - police said they were shot before they could carry out a suicide attack.
The gunmen reportedly went room to room seeking foreigners.
Georgette Gagnon, of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, condemned the attack as an "atrocity".
"Taliban statements on avoiding civilian casualties ring hollow when we set them against the latest killings," she said.
Security forces rescued more than 50 people who had been at a party in the garden of the hotel, where a well known Afghan classical singer was due to perform.
"The attack was planned carefully to target the party in which important people and Americans were attending," the Taliban said in a statement.
India's Prime Minister Nahendra Modi tweeted that he had spoken to the Afghan President Ashraf Ghani about the attack.
"We are one when it comes to fighting terror," he said. He added that the president "expressed sadness on the unfortunate demise of Indian citizens in the attack".
US embassy spokeswoman Monica Cummings confirmed that one US citizen had died in the attack.
"Our thoughts are with the families of the victims at this time," Ms Cummings said.
This incident raises several questions.
The Taliban says there was only one attacker, but some police sources said there were more.
Was there a failed suicide attack, and why did it take the police so long to secure the building?
In the past Pakistan has been blamed by the Afghan government for violent acts of this sort.
But this attack comes at a time of good relations between the two countries, amid signs that a peace deal with the Taliban may be possible.
President Ashraf Ghani is coming under pressure to deliver on that promise and end insecurity.
Mexico's ex-head of federal prisons was among 13 people detained, sources close to the prosecutor said.
The ex-directors of the jail from which Guzman fled were also reportedly held.
Investigators say Guzman had inside help to ease his escape in July through a tunnel under a shower in his cell that ran 1.5km outside the prison.
It was the second escape from a maximum security prison for Guzman, whose Sinaloa cartel is responsible for much of Mexico's trafficking of drugs to the US.
At least seven officials, including two members of Mexico's secret service and two prison control room employees, had already been arrested, accused of not raising the alarm once Guzman had escaped.
The office of Mexico's attorney general confirmed the 13 new arrests on Friday, but did not reveal the identity of the suspects.
However, the former national co-ordinator for Mexico's prison system, Celina Oseguera, was named as one of the suspects, sources close to the prosecutor told the AFP news agency.
Ms Oseguera was removed from her high-level post after Guzman escaped on 11 July.
Both directors of Altiplano prison, Valentin Cardenas and Lenor Garcia, who were also sacked after the escape, are also reportedly being held.
After his escape in July, Guzman took to Twitter to taunt the police and insult Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Mr Pena Nieto has promised that all those who had participated in the escape would be punished with "the full weight of the law".
One point of controversy has been whether the Mexican government should have agreed to a US request to extradite Guzman on the basis that American prisons would have been harder for Guzman to break out of.
First arrested in Guatemala in 1993, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman spent nearly a decade in another maximum-security Mexican jail before escaping, reportedly in a laundry basket.
He was on the run for 13 years before being held again in 2014 after a series of high-profile arrests of associates and covert surveillance by the US authorities.
That's the problem that confronted Australian couple Sue and Peter Leach on Monday when Peanut the cassowary unexpectedly entered their home.
Peanut has been visiting the Leachs' garden at Mission Beach in Queensland since he was a chick.
But Mrs Leach said this was the first time he had entered the house itself.
"At about four in the afternoon I was in the kitchen and my husband called out from the dining room, 'uh-oh, we've got a visitor'," she said.
"Pete ducked behind the dining table and I high-tailed it out of the house. Peanut was very calm, he just wandered in and around the dining room.
"I was just hoping he didn't spot the fruit bowl, because then he'd really want to come in all the time. And I was hoping he wouldn't slip on the tiles, because then he'd be really spooked."
Cassowaries are large, flightless birds with colourful markings that are native to New Guinea and northern Australia.
They can run at speeds of up to 50km/h (31 mph) and have a long, dagger-like claw on their second toe that can be used to lash out at threats, including humans.
Mrs Leach said she was happy Peanut did not leave any evidence of his visit, as cassowary poo was large, purple and tended to stain.
"I think it was a mistake that he wandered into the house because he's never done that before," she said.
"I think he just made a wrong turn."
Asked, on Twitter, to summarise their club's campaign in one word, the answers came in a torrent. Of course, many simply went for "Champions" or "Five" or "Winners" or some other variation.
Others went for "Tierney" as in the hugely impressive teenage full-back who appeared on the scene this season and looks now like he's been around for years. "Griffiths" was oft-mentioned, as you would expect for one who has scored so many. No other player got a shout-out. In truth, no other player deserved to.
Ronny Deila has his happy ending, his fond farewell, his two-in-a-row to add to the three-in-a-row from Neil Lennon's time as Celtic manager.
Five straight titles. In most other clubs, in most other cities, in most other parts of the world that would be momentous, a source of unqualified, unquestioning joy, but it's different here. In this day and age at Celtic, it's not necessarily what you win, but how you win it.
Those Celtic fans on Twitter kept coming with their word for the season and their answers were split. For every "Champions" there was a "Forgettable", for every "Five" there was an "Underwhelming", for every "Winners" there was a "Boring", a "Regressive", a "Rudderless". One fan called it "Easy", another just went for "Meh". The word "Equivocal" popped up and that just about captured it.
Celtic have been too good for Aberdeen but not good enough to keep Deila in a job. This is a deserved fifth title, but it's not one that has been studded with memorable days.
Leigh Griffiths had a sustained excellence about him. Kieran Tierney was the feelgood story, a star who emerged. Beyond that? How many class performances? How many displays that got the fans on their feet in acclamation? How many matches that people will remember for the right reasons?
Fewer than last year and fewer than the year before last. Celtic cannot match their points total, or the number of wins, from those two seasons no matter what they do in their remaining games.
Before Sunday's title-clinching win against Aberdeen they'd dropped points in 11 league matches out of 35. That's 31% of league games they failed to win.
Some of their fans will say that none of that matters, that the only thing that counts is where that league trophy ends up. Maybe. If you dropped the silverware in the back of beyond it could almost find its own way back to Parkhead at this stage, that's true.
Celtic should be congratulated on their achievement, but for all the whooping and hollering there is a sense of an opportunity lost in all of this.
Deila could have built a young and settled team with plenty to recommend it, but he tinkered and lost his way, not so badly as to cost Celtic the title but sufficiently to lose him the support of many of those who championed him for so long.

We go back to a Saturday in late February when Celtic played Inverness in Glasgow in the Premiership.
It was one of those games you went to with a sense that the champions were creaking and vulnerable. Their League Cup semi-final loss to Ross County at Hampden was still fresh in the memory, so too the defeat by Aberdeen in the league that followed it and the awful performance against East Kilbride in the Scottish Cup that came after that.
Celtic had won just one of their previous four matches before they played Inverness that day. John Hughes' team had won two on the bounce - against Motherwell and Aberdeen. They came to Glasgow with some of their mojo restored. At half-time the score was 0-0. Celtic had been awful and were booed off by their own supporters.
What happened in the second half at Celtic Park was part of the reason why Celtic are now champions again - and also part of the reason why it might feel, to some, like a strange kind of glory. Celtic dug in. They scored two goals before the hour and lifted themselves out of a hole.
Then Deila made changes. He brought on Scott Allan for Stuart Armstrong after 63 minutes, Ryan Christie for Stefan Johansen after 67 and Patrick Roberts for Gary Mackay-Steven after 82.
The three of them played behind Griffiths and Celtic scored a third before the end. In truth, they could have scored a fourth, a fifth or a sixth given the intricacy of the substitutes' play; the movement, the devil, the ambition.
True, they were playing against a beaten Inverness team at that stage, but that combination of Allan-Christie-Roberts got Celtic fans truly excited, an uncommon occurrence this season. It was like a vision of the future.
Sure, one of the players, on-loan Manchester City winger Roberts, was not one of their own, but you could have put Callum McGregor in there just as easily. Another young player of promise, another guy who offers plenty on his best days.
Celtic fans wanted to see victories but they wanted to see a thrusting new team emerging at the same time.
A stadium that was full of anger and frustration at half-time metamorphosed into a much happier place by game's end. The fans had seen a trio of players who had excited them, but they haven't seen them together since. That was the one and only occasion that those three have shared a pitch together.
Christie has yet to start a game for Celtic while Allan has started one. McGregor hadn't started a match for two months until his fine performance against Hearts at Tynecastle last weekend. There is a sense that Celtic could be better, that they have some promising young players on their books if only they were trusted and given the freedom to play.
A quote from Brian Clough comes to mind. In mid-September 1974 Clough was sacked as manager of Leeds United after 44 joyless days. That night, Clough walked into the studios of Yorkshire Television and did a classic interview with journalist Austin Mitchell. What made it unforgettable was the fact that Clough's predecessor at Leeds, and bitter rival, Don Revie was sitting alongside him in the studio.
At one point in the interview, Revie, the then England manager, goes for Clough, asking him why he took the Leeds job in the first place given that he had never made any secret of his disdain for the hard-nosed team Revie had created.
Clough said in reply that he wanted to do what Revie had done - winning the title - but he wanted to do it better.
He wanted Leeds to play more football and score more goals, he wanted them not just to be saluted as winners but admired as champions. It never happened for Clough - not at Leeds at any rate - but that quote about wanting to do it better still resonates, the essence of it as true today as it was when he came out with it first more than 40 years ago.
Celtic have won the title again, but they haven't won it better.
The result increases the pressure on Newcastle head coach Steve McClaren, with his job thought to be on the line.
Magpies defender Steven Taylor diverted the ball into his own net to give Bournemouth a 28th-minute lead.
Joshua King smashed in for 2-0 before Ayoze Perez pulled a goal back, but Charlie Daniels drilled in a late third to give the Cherries a deserved win.
Re-live the action for St James' Park
The rest of Saturday's Premier League action
Anti-McClaren chants and angry boos echoed around St James' Park at the end of another pitiful display by the home side.
Former England boss McClaren cut a beleaguered figure on the touchline, having arrived for the game amid speculation that defeat would spell the end of his tenure, which only began in the summer.
It is now five defeats in the six matches for Newcastle - who spent about £100m in the past two transfer windows but again find themselves labouring at the wrong end of the table.

After the display against the Cherries, few of their supporters would back the team to survive this one.
With just 10 Premier League matches remaining, will owner Mike Ashley choose to stick or twist?
Newcastle will point to a moment's misfortune in the first half that gifted the Cherries the lead, as central defender Taylor's attempt to cut out King's low cross instead diverted the ball into his own net.
But instead of pulling up their socks after that setback, Newcastle's players retreated into their shells.
McClaren's men created few clear-cut chances, with the best of those seeing French striker Emmanuel Riviere - making his first league start of the season - and Jonjo Shelvey go close with early strikes.
Artur Boruc's near-post block from Daryl Janmaat was the only time the visiting goalkeeper was called into serious action, and although Perez's late goal gave Newcastle hope, the players appeared to lack belief to get another.
McClaren would probably like to know Eddie Howe's secret.
Earlier in the season the Cherries - pre-season favourites to go down - suffered successive heavy defeats against Manchester City and Tottenham. But they have since earned wins against the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United and now find themselves 11 points clear of the drop-zone.
There is a strong team spirit instilled by Howe, which was evident once again at St James' Park.
The influence of Max Gradel, who only recently returned from a serious knee injury suffered in August, was integral to their success today.
He fed the ball to King that led to the own-goal and went close himself with a deflected shot that looped narrowly wide. King himself had one of his best games of the season, producing a confident finish to give his side a two-goal cushion.
For Howe, a manager with a huge future, he can just about relax in the knowledge that he has almost secured his side's Premier League future.
Newcastle boss Steve McClaren: "I'm very disappointed. That was definitely a poor performance and 'going down' material. The only positive is that we have 10 games to go.
"We have got to find the fighters in the team and the performance today did not epitomise that. We cannot play like that and hope to stay up.

"But we are fortunate that we've got 10 games and that's enough. It's a four-team league now and we play everyone around us.
"There was a certain edginess and you could see that in our play. We lost our shape. Normally we are a good attacking team, but today we were poor on the ball. You can only say that the pressure got to them.
"I can't see any positives but we have to stick together as a staff and as a team, and fight."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "That's a big win for us and I thought it was thoroughly deserved. It was a bit nervy at the end but it was great to get a third goal to seal it.
"It was tighter perhaps than it should have been but I was very pleased with a great performance. We had a real threat about us going forward. It was great to see us score three away from home.

"I think the crowd here can work one of two ways. We wanted to dominate the ball and thankfully we got on top.
"It's a good position to be in and we want to just finish the job that we have started. But we have some massive games to come and it's not over yet.
"It would mean everything for us [to stay up]. There's a lot of pressure on us but so far we are coping quite well."
Perhaps that should read "where now?" for Newcastle. The Magpies - with McClaren at the helm or otherwise - are at title-chasing Leicester on Monday, 14 March.
As for Bournemouth, they are at home to Swansea next Saturday.
Lesley Titcomb would like firms with large pension deficits to be required to inform her if a sale is imminent and powers to intervene if necessary.
At the moment, companies do not have to inform the regulator before a sale.
The government says it is investigating whether tougher regulation is needed.
The risk to final-salary or defined-benefit schemes when a company is sold has come under the spotlight following the collapse of BHS.
The retail group went into administration shortly after being sold for £1 by former owner Sir Philip Green.
The pension scheme is reported to have a deficit of nearly £600m and is now likely to go into the pension's lifeboat, the Pension Protection Fund.
Workers who have not yet retired will get 90% of the pension they expected.
The regulator was criticised by the Work and Pensions select committee for failing to show urgency in dealing with the emerging crisis at BHS.
However, the body, which is funded by a levy from the UK's 6,000 defined benefit schemes, currently has no power to intervene in a sale.
The regulator can only take action once a deal has gone ahead, using her anti-avoidance powers to claim compensation if she thinks the purpose of the sale was to dump or reduce the pension liability.
Now Ms Titcomb has told the BBC the watchdog should be able to step in under certain circumstances.
"We may need new powers in certain situations," she said. "For example, where a company is being sold and the scheme is significantly underfunded, then it may be appropriate for the regulator to be told in advance about the transaction, and it may be appropriate for us to have the power to intervene in some way, which we don't have at the moment.
"There's no requirement to tell us. There's no requirement to come to us for clearance and we have no power to intervene if people do.
"The vast majority of employers comply with the law and do the right thing. What we want to tackle is the particular limited set of circumstances where, for example, a sale can go ahead without us being aware of it."
The Work and Pensions select committee is currently holding an inquiry into whether the regulator has adequate powers and the future of company pension schemes.
Its chair, Frank Field, backs tougher legislation, but says the regulator needs to up its game.
"I would be surprised if the select committee doesn't move to a proposal that we have a much changed regulator who has the power for a period of time to say, 'You actually have to come to me before you can legally sell your company and it won't be legal unless I've signed it off,'" he said.
"But to do that, the pension regulator the way it behaves, its operation at speed and its attitude and culture has to change. The status quo can't remain."
A spokesperson for the Department of Work and Pensions said: "The vast majority of employers are managing their pension schemes responsibly, however this is an important issue and we are already investigating whether tougher regulation is needed."

Usually viruses known as ransomware decrypt files when victims have paid a substantial fee.
But one variant of Power Worm destroys keys that could help recover any data that it scrambled.
The news comes as hackers produce ransomware that is aimed at websites and encrypts data sitting on servers.
Power Worm infects Microsoft Word and Excel files but the latest poorly written update of it goes after many more types of data files it finds on a victim's machine.
Malware researcher Nathan Scott discovered the variant and uncovered the mistakes its creator made when updating it.
Mr Scott believes the errors arose when the creator tried to simplify the decryption process. They tried to make it use just one decryption key but mangled the process of generating it. As a result, there is no key created for the files it encrypts when it compromises a computer.
"There is unfortunately nothing that can be done for victims of this infection," wrote malware researcher Lawrence Abrams on the Bleeping Computer tech news website. "If you have been affected by this ransomware, your only option is to restore from a back-up."
Mr Abrams said anyone hit by Power Worm should not pay the 2 bitcoin (about £500) ransom it asks for because they will not get any data back.
Ransomware is proving increasingly popular with hi-tech thieves and one group has now extended its list of potential targets to web servers that run Linux.
Russian anti-virus firm Dr Web has discovered a novel ransomware variant called Linux.encoder that tries to infect sites via add-ons such as shopping systems that many of them use.
Once it lands on a server, the software encrypts any files, images, pages, scripts and stored source code it finds on the machine's main and back-up directories. Linux.encoder leaves behind a text file detailing how victims can pay the 1 bitcoin ransom required to recover their data.
"In the volume cybercrime space, ransomware is one of the most prolific problems we face," said Greg Day, chief security officer for Europe at Palo Alto Networks.
"Credit card theft is getting to the point where the value of each card is very low. As a result ransomware has stepped into that gap and gives a higher value for each victim."
Research by Palo Alto Networks and industry partners suggests the well-known Crypto Wall family of ransomware has generated about $325m (£215m) for the gang behind it.
"The return is so much better," Mr Day said. "That's why it's escalated to such a level."
He said regularly backing up data would help people and companies avoid having to pay criminals if they got caught out by ransomware.
The results of the biggest bank by market value are closely watched as an indicator of the Australian economy.
Last week the central bank cut interest rates to a record low to tackle weak inflation and spur growth.
Australia has been struggling with slowing growth amid a global slump in commodity prices.
Commonwealth Bank's cash profit rose 3% to A$9.45bn, largely in line with analysts' expectations. The results mark the seventh consecutive annual record.
Many Australian banks use the cash profit measure rather than net profit as their preferred performance measure.
The cash profit numbers strip out one-off items, including those that may distort a bank's performance in a given period.
Australia's banking sector is also facing tightened capital requirements and regulations adding to costs.
The lenders are also under political pressure to move away from aggressive sales tactics and reform corporate behaviour in the wake of several scandals including insurance fraud and interest rate-rigging.
Chief executive Ian Narev said Commonwealth Bank was aware of the "combined impact of weaker demand, strong competition and increasing regulation", noting cautious optimism about the outlook for the bank.
"An ongoing focus on productivity and credit quality will be important. But we remain positive about Australia's economic prospects," he added.
Australia's top lender by assets, National Australia Bank, reports results on 15 August.
A team examined the feathers and digestive tract contents of seaside sparrows - measuring signature carbon from spilled oil.
They say it "is the first demonstration that oil from the spill made it into the" food chain of land animals.
The findings are published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
The study focused on seaside sparrows and the soil sediments of the Louisiana marshes.
Researchers analysed contaminated sediments to identify a chemical "fingerprint" from Deepwater Horizon.
They then examined feather and digestive tract contents of 10 of the birds, to work out how much oil had been incorporated into the sparrows' biological tissue.
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill released an estimated 700,000 cubic metres (154 million gallons) of oil into the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Prof Andrea Bonisoli Alquati, who led the research at Louisiana State University, said: "These results are consistent with the incorporation of Deepwater Horizon oil into the tissues of the exposed birds."
Prof Richard Shore, from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, said the findings were interesting, but he added: "Sparrows feed on marine and terrestrial invertebrates, [so exposure could have been] through the marine food chain.
"It is perhaps not so surprising," he told BBC News. "But it is interesting there may have been exposure in this species."
Dr Stuart Sharp from Lancaster Environment Centre said the findings were worrying.
"Most people think of oil spills having a big effect on the wildlife that comes into direct contact with the oil - which of course is true - with knock-on but indirect effects for animals higher up the food chain," he commented.
"This study basically suggests that there may also be direct effects for the latter group as derivatives of the oil are being passed on up the food chain."
Prof Bonisoli Alquati told BBC News that the work showed that "oil doesn't stay where it's spilled - there's potential for it to move into other ecosystems.
"So I think future risk assessments [for deep-sea oil extraction] should include those land-based ecosystems, as well as marine.
"Many animals live at the blurred boundary between the two."

Its terrain includes part of the Andes mountain range, swamps, the plains of the Pampas and a long coastline. Its people have had to struggle with military dictatorship, a lost war over the Falkland Islands, and severe economic difficulties.
Argentina is rich in resources, has a well-educated workforce and is one of South America's largest economies. But it has also fallen prey to a boom and bust cycle.
The country remains locked in a territorial dispute with Britain over the Falklands Islands, which are governed as a British overseas territory, but have been claimed by Buenos Aires since the 1830s.

President: Mauricio Macri
Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri defied expectations by winning the 2015 presidential election run-off, beating Peronist candidate Daniel Scioli to become the country's first unambiguously conservative president to win a free and fair election since 1916.
Born into a wealthy business family, Mr Macri was elected mayor of Buenos Aires in 2007, and later emerged as the leader of a reunited conservative opposition to left-wing Peronist presidents Nestor Kirchner and Cristina Fernandez amid a worsening economy.
As president, Mr Macri has promised a clean break with almost all of his predecessor's state-focused policies, in particular pledging to lift currency exchange controls and improve conditions for business.
Argentina is one of South America's leading media markets. The country has well over 150 daily newspapers, many hundreds of commercial radio stations, dozens of TV stations and one of the world's highest take-up rates for cable TV.

Writing in the Telegraph, Suella Fernandes MP said only in leaving would the UK "truly be a beacon of international free trade".
Michael Gove, Iain Duncan Smith and Theresa Villier are among her backers.
The government said it would not give a "running commentary" before talks but would aim for the "best possible deal".
It comes as other senior Tories are urging the PM to drop an appeal against a ruling that MPs must vote on Brexit before the process can begin.
The group of 60 Tories - out of a total of 328 Conservative MPs - want Britain to pull out of both the European single market and the customs union, which allows its members to trade without tariffs but imposes common duties on goods imported from outside the bloc.
Ms Fernandes said the 23 June vote to leave the EU had been "an instruction to untie ourselves from EU shackles and freely embrace the rest of the world".
"As was made clear in the referendum campaign, remaining in the EU's internal market like Norway, or in a customs union like Turkey, is not compatible with either of these commitments and doing so would frustrate the will of the electorate."
A government spokeswoman said it was committed to getting a unique deal for Britain, "not an 'off the shelf' solution".
She said: "The government is painstakingly analysing the challenges and opportunities for all the different sectors of our economy.
"The prime minister has been clear that she wants UK companies to have the maximum freedom to trade with and operate in the single market - and to let European businesses do the same here.
"Beyond that, it's not in the UK's interest to give a running commentary on our thinking that could undermine our negotiating position."
Meanwhile, Sir Oliver Letwin, former head of the government's Brexit preparations, and two former law officers said the appeal against a court ruling that means MPs must vote on the UK leaving the EU should not go to the Supreme Court.
Instead, they want ministers to bring a bill to Parliament to start the process of Brexit as soon as possible.
Former minister Sir Oliver told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the Supreme Court hearing could see ministers' powers outside Parliament curbed.
He said that bringing a bill to Parliament would give the government the ability to trigger Brexit without any constraints on its negotiating power.
Former Solicitor General Sir Edward Garnier said Mrs May should drop the appeal to avoid expense and a row about judges' powers, while former Attorney General Dominic Grieve said he could not see the point of continuing with the case.
The government said it would robustly defend its position at the appeal and said: "As the prime minister made clear [on Friday], our work is on track and we remain committed to triggering Article 50 by the end of March next year."
A final judgement from the Supreme Court is not expected until January.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle host a Highland derby against Ross County in the second all-Premiership tie.
Championship side Hibernian, who knocked out Premiership leaders Aberdeen, host Dundee United, with Greenock Morton home to St Johnstone.
The ties will be played on 27 and 28 October.
Celtic knocked out Hearts 3-0 on their way to winning last season's tournament.
But Robbie Neilson's side held the Scottish champions to a 0-0 draw in Glasgow on league duty on Saturday to end an 10-game losing streak against Celtic.
Celtic first-team coach John Kennedy said: "I think they are an improved side and Robbie's got them playing well.
"They showed a side to them that they maybe haven't all season - defensively they were very well organised and there was a real willingness to defend their goal.
"It is a tough draw - probably as tough as we could have got and it'll be an exciting game when it comes around."
Hearts striker Gavin Reilly thinks the Edinburgh side can go one better.
"It is a home draw, it will be a sell-out at Tynecastle and all the fans will be looking forward to it," he said.
"We went to Parkhead on Saturday and got a good away point, so we're home for this tie and hopefully we can beat them in the Cup."
Hibs and United also met in last season's tournament, with the Tannadice outfit extending their winning run in fixtures between the side to five games.
However, the Edinburgh side will believe they have a chance of going one better than losing 7-6 on penalties after a 3-3 draw with the Tangerines struggling in second-bottom place in the top flight.
Morton get another chance to cause an upset against a Premiership side as they host the Saints after knocking out Motherwell in the previous round.
The last meeting between Morton and St Johnstone was also in the League Cup, with the Perth side winning 1-0 at Cappielow to extend their unbeaten run against the Greenock outfit to 11 games.
Morton's last win over Saints came in the League Cup in September 2006 at Cappielow.
Caley Thistle and County meet for the first time this season on Saturday in the Premiership.
Inverness are unbeaten in their last five meetings with County, but the Victoria Park outfit drew on their last two visits to Caledonian Stadium and won 3-1 in the one before that.
County midfielder Rocco Quinn told BBC Scotland: "We would have probably liked a home tie, but to get Caley at their bit is as near a home tie as we are going to get.
"We're pleased with the draw and we're looking forward to the game.
"We're very happy with the way we're playing right now. It's obviously early days yet, but I think we've got a very strong squad and we're really looking to progress in the Cup this year.
"Caley were fantastic last season. They had a bit of a slow start this season, but they are beginning to come into their own."
Quinn does not think it is beyond County to win the trophy for the first time.
"With the squad, the management and the chairman we have at the club, it's definitely realistic for us and we as a club and a team want to achieve something," he said.
"So lifting this Cup would be immense for us."
Caley Thistle defender Gary Warren was looking forward to facing County.
"It is a good draw for us in terms of travelling and it is a local derby," he said.
"We've got them this Saturday, so that will give a little indication for where we are and where Ross County are and it should bode well for an interesting quarter-final."

Niche Drinks has invested £12m into The Quiet Man at Ebrington, which will also include a visitor centre.
It is the first whiskey distillery to open in the city for nearly 200 years.
The project got the thumbs up from Derry City and Strabane District Council on Wednesday.
Ebrington was formerly an Army base but it is now the largest single regeneration site in the city.
"I named the whiskey after my father who had been a bartender for 52 years," Niche Drinks' Ciaran Mulgrew told BBC Radio Foyle.
"He always used to say that in a lifetime working behind the bar he had seen everything and heard every story there was to hear but like all good bartenders he was true to his code.
"He told no tales so they called him the quiet man and I thought, that's what I'll call the whiskey."
The new distillery is to start operating within a year and the visitor centre will open by the middle of 2018.
By the end of the 19th century, Derry was said to be producing more whiskey than any other city in the world.
Known as the whiskey capital of the world, the craft died out with the closing of Watts distillery in the 1920s.
A plan to expand the capital's administrative control into the Oromia region has sparked deadly protests.
The government has accused Oromo protesters of links with terror groups and trying to start a revolution.
Amnesty says the claims aim to justify repression of those protesting against feared land seizures.
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said on state television on Wednesday evening the government knows that "destructive forces are masterminding the violence from the front and from behind".
He added that the government "will take merciless legitimate action against any force bent on destabilising the area".
At the last census in 2007, the Oromo made up Ethiopia's biggest ethnic group, at about 25 million people out of a population at the time of nearly 74 million.
Oromia is the country's largest region, surrounding the capital, Addis Ababa.
Authorities say five people have died in protests so far, but opposition parties and human rights groups say the number is closer to 40.
Protesters also say they fear cultural persecution if what has been dubbed a "master plan" to integrate parts of Oromia into Addis Ababa go ahead.
Some have also raised the prospect that they will be forcibly evicted and their land taken amid the rapid expansion of the capital.
"The suggestion that these Oromo - protesting against a real threat to their livelihoods - are aligned to terrorists will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression for rights activists," said Muthoni Wanyeki, Amnesty's Regional Director for East Africa, the Horn and the Great Lakes.
In April last year the same plan sparked months of student protests.
The government said at the time that 17 people had died in the violence, but human rights groups said that the number was much higher.
Under their tenure the theatre has undergone a £22m redevelopment and doubled audience numbers, plus several transfers to the West End including Enron and Sweeney Todd.
They joined the theatre in 2005 and oversaw its 50th anniversary in 2012.
Theatre chairman Sir William Castell described them as "inspiring leaders".
Under Church and Finch, the company has also staged more than 100 productions including 22 new plays and has won more than 40 awards. Audiences played to 95% capacity in 2014.
They have also presided over 48 productions which have transferred to the West End or secured international and UK tours. These include Macbeth with Patrick Stewart, Singin' in the Rain, Private Lives, King Lear with Frank Langella, The Pajama Game and, more recently, Church's production of Taken at Midnight and Gypsy, directed by Jonathan Kent.
Church described being a "custodian" of the theatre as a "privilege and a joy", adding that he had "worked alongside some of the country's most skilled actors and creative teams".
"I hope, between us, we have helped contribute to the current strength of British theatre," he said, stressing the "important role of subsidy in creating vibrant regional arts organisations".
He said it would be "painful leaving a theatre that feels like our creative home" but added that regional theatres "thrive on new ideas and new energies".
Finch hailed their "loyal audiences, generous supporters and sponsors", saying that without their support they would "never have been able to achieve what we have". He said it was "the right time for us to pursue new opportunities".
The process to appoint a new artistic director will begin in August and a successor is expected to be announced at the end of this year.
The new executive director will be appointed when Church's successor is in place.

The car narrowly missed Jonathan Hunt, 42, as it drove into the bus and cycle lane on Carlton Road, in Sneinton, Nottingham, at 08:45 BST on Wednesday.
Former Olympic cycling champion Chris Boardman tweeted "it's not right" the police were not recording it.
After being contacted by the BBC, Nottinghamshire Police said it would investigate.
Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands
Mr Hunt, a former racing cyclist who was a double national champion at the age of 18, said the police operator on the non-emergency 101 suggested he was wasting her time.
He said she told him: "We can't possibly do anything about that.
"We don't have the resources to look at this... can you go away please? I have life and death calls coming in."
The father of two said: "The way she spoke to me - it was quite disgusting. I felt disappointed and shocked."
He added that her response was "upsetting" as other forces had been campaigning for vulnerable cyclists.
Mr Hunt, who commutes to work in the city from Mansfield, said he would make a complaint to Nottinghamshire Police.
He said he had to slam on his brakes to avoid being hit by the car.
"The lady driving the car just pulled in. I very nearly crashed into her. Then she stopped in front of me with her hazards on.
"I don't think she had any idea what happened. This sort of thing happens to me a lot. You just get frustrated."
Chris Boardman, who is a policy advisor for British Cycling, replied to Mr Hunt after he posted the video on Twitter
He said: "Video evidence should be used by all police forces to help improve road safety for everyone no matter how you get around."
The force said in a statement: "Nottinghamshire Police takes all road safety matters seriously.
"We are re-contacting Mr Hunt and will investigate the incident."
Sam Jones, Cycling UK spokesman, said: "It is worrying that they are not accepting video footage. They need to take into consideration some of the most vulnerable road users.
"It is sending the wrong message if that sort of behaviour is allowed."
He said other forces accepted video footage.
Police forces which Cycling UK knows accept video evidence:

• West Midlands
• North Wales

Andrew Batten, 42, died after being punched by Anthony John McDonnell during a disagreement over a drinks can in Vicar Lane, Leeds in October 1995.
McDonnell, 45, of Whitebridge Avenue, Leeds, was caught after renewed police appeals on the 20th anniversary of what police called a "needless act".
He earlier pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Leeds Crown Court.
Mr Batten, who lived in Beeston, had gone out after finishing work and was still wearing his Royal Mail uniform when he was attacked.
He was found on the pavement by an ambulance crew after an anonymous call and was taken to Leeds General Infirmary with a fractured skull. He died two days later.
Det Ch Insp Jim Dunkerley, who led the anniversary investigation, said the case showed the "catastrophic consequences of drink-fuelled violence - the waste of a life".
"It was a needless act on a unassuming chap who had had a quiet drink for an hour after work," he said.
Speaking during the anniversary appeal, Vanessa Batten, Mr Batten's sister, said: "The people involved that night have enjoyed 20 years of life that Andrew was denied.
"The aching of his loss still cripples me."
After an inquiry at the time of the attack failed to lead to a conclusion, the anniversary was used to release CCTV images of people police hoped to speak to.
Det Ch Insp Dunkerley said: "Sometimes you get new information years later as allegiances change or consciences are pricked.
"No case will become too old, none are closed."
It has been a memorable tournament for Bangladesh and Pakistan, but less so for Australia and New Zealand.
But what were the moments of the tournament? BBC Sport's Stephan Shemilt asked the Test Match Special team, who have commentated on every single ball delivered in the competition.
by former England captain Alec Stewart
Sri Lanka went into this game against the eventual finalists as underdogs. They hadn't played particularly good cricket.
India were a lot of people's favourites for the tournament anyway and once they'd posted a good total, you thought they were going to win easily.
The way Sri Lanka chased it down was brilliant - their captain Angelo Mathews had been out injured but came back in and really led from the front, showing his experience.
To get over the line and beat a side with the quality of India was very, very, special.
by Test Match Special commentator Alison Mitchell
I'm going to go for Bangladesh beating New Zealand.
It was a momentous victory for Bangladesh and the record 224-run partnership between Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan showed how they have matured as a side.
To complete such a run chase in such a tournament and to get themselves into the semi-finals really stands out for me.
by former England batter Ebony Rainford-Brent
I love an underdog and Bangladesh taking on New Zealand and beating them is up there for me too.
The Tigers were 12-3 and 33-4 and, as one of the smaller nations, were expected to roll over.
To then see a record-breaking partnership was big for the game. It meant a lot to cricket, to the Bangladesh fans and I loved every minute of it.
by BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew
It was a remarkable catch by Jason Roy at deep mid-wicket.
Australia's Glenn Maxwell was looking dangerous on 20 not out and it was the sort of catch we wouldn't have seen 10 years ago. Now they do it all the time.
As the fielder, in a split-second you're thinking about catching the ball and not tumbling over the boundary edge, so in effect you catch it twice by parrying it back inside the rope.
This was the best example I've seen of this technique, which must be so hard as your eyes scramble to look at everything up, down and sideways.
Roy, however, made it look so easy. It was a brilliant bit of cricket and shows how fielding has improved dramatically.
by former England batsman James Taylor
It's always a tasty encounter when England play Australia. We slumped to 35-3 chasing 278 to win but that partnership between Eoin Morgan (87) and Ben Stokes (102*) was brilliant.
A lot of teams would have gone into their shell at that point but England built some momentum by doing the opposite and taking it back to Australia.
They counter-attacked, were destructive and took down a world-class bowling attack in a controlled and dominant fashion.
by England bowler Chris Woakes
Beating the Aussies in any form of cricket is brilliant but Stokesey's hundred stands out. He went out there and crunched the bowling from ball one.
You could tell he was in the zone. To raise the bat after scoring a hundred against Australia, to win the game and knock them out, it doesn't get better than that.
by Test Match Special commentator Dan Norcross
Of South Africa's three run-outs against India, surely the most deliciously absurd was the one involving Faf du Plessis and David Miller.
Du Plessis played the ball behind square and Miller ran towards him - but Du Plessis decided there wasn't a run there.
Deciding he was not going to be the one run out, Du Plessis turned and dived for the line to get in before his team-mate.
The still frame with two of them at the same end was symptomatic of a diabolical campaign for the number one-ranked ODI side in the world. I haven't stopped giggling about it since I saw it.
by former England off-spinner Vic Marks
This catch, in the final group game before the semis, catapulted Pakistan into the final, in my opinion. It was a brilliant catch - an inside edge, not much time to move - that showed great deftness, nimbleness and skills.
And let's not forget the fact Sarfraz is the slowest runner between the wickets in the tournament when he's batting. Every time he went for two, he looked like being run out.
He was great entertainment and captained Pakistan brilliantly.
by Test Match Special commentator Simon Mann
Thisara Perera dropped Sarfraz Ahmed at mid-on when Pakistan needed 43 runs to win with just three wickets in hand in the group stages.
As my daughter would say, it was such an OMG moment - how on earth could he drop that catch?
It stopped Sri Lanka getting to the semi-final, it had an enormous impact on Pakistan to keep their momentum going and led to them winning the final.
It has echoes of Herschelle Gibbs dropping Steve Waugh at Headingley in 1999. People who play cricket will have seen things like this happen week in, week out, but it's not supposed to happen at this level of the game.

Did anyone really believe that Pakistan could win it until Virat Kohli was on his way back to the pavilion?
Just one ball before, Azhar Ali dropped the master chaser, a straightforward chance at first slip. How costly might it be?
Not at all. The very next ball, Kohli was squared up and brilliantly held at point by Shadab Khan. There was an eruption at The Oval, part of the crowd delirious, the others devastated.
That was the biggest wicket of Mohammad Amir's destructive new-ball spell, one that tore the heart out of the India top order.
It was exhilarating, dramatic and thrilling fast bowling, delivered by a bowler who has brilliantly rebuilt his career.
Radio 4 won four awards in the radio category from the consumer group which champions public service broadcasting.
Gareth Malone was honoured for his work as a choirmaster and Jon Snow was named best individual TV contributor.
"These awards are a reminder of the excellence of so much of our radio and television, "said VLV chairman Colin Browne.
BBC Two's Face Of Britain, fronted by Simon Schama, was named best arts and entertainment TV programme
Channel 4 News won best TV news and factual programme, and BBC Four was named as Digital TV Channel of the Year.
More than 40 years after it was first broadcast, CBeebies' reboot of Clangers was named best children's TV programme.
Radio 4 won best drama and comedy programme with Book of the Week, best news and factual programme for From Our Own Correspondent, best music and arts programme with A Good Read and best individual contributor for James Naughtie who presented the station's Today programme until December last year.
Classic FM won digital radio station of the year.
"As politicians and regulators plot the future of public service broadcasting in the UK, it is timely to remember that what really counts is the quality and diversity of the programmes available to listeners and viewers," Browne said.
The VLV is an independent membership association that campaigns for quality and diversity in British broadcasting content.
The keen conservationists, on a seven-day tour of India and Bhutan, also went on a safari at Kaziranga National Park.
They came within 50 yards of a rare one-horned rhino during the visit.
The royal couple also visited a community in the park, joking to a village elder that Prince George was "too naughty" to have brought to India.
They told him that the two-year old prince would have been running around if he had accompanied them on the trip, their first official visit to the country.
Catherine remarked that seeing local children in the village, especially young girl dancers, made her miss Princess Charlotte, who turns one next month.
In pictures: Duke and duchess in India
The pair toured Kaziranga National Park in the state of Assam in an open-topped 4x4, also catching sight of elephants, monkeys and a monitor lizard.
The duke remarked it was "amazing" to be so close to the rare rhino while at the park, which is home to two-thirds of the world's population of the animal.
Kaziranga, a world heritage site, is estimated to be home to 2,400 one-horned rhinos out of a global population of 3,300. The animal is currently listed as "vulnerable" by conservation groups.
The national park is also home to elephants, water buffalo, the endangered swamp deer and tigers
Tremors from an earthquake in Myanmar, also known as Burma, were felt in Assam and other eastern Indian states on Wednesday.
But Kitty Tawakley, a spokeswoman for the British High Commission in New Delhi, said Prince William and Catherine were safe, the Associated Press reported.
Peter Hunt, BBC royal correspondent
When Prince Philip was in India with the Queen in 1961 he shot a tiger.
He and his wife posed for a picture in front of the spoils of his hunting.
Prince William is a different generation royal with a different agenda - to save not shoot Asia's one-horned rhinoceros.
The two-tonne creatures - one of the oldest living mammals on the planet - are falling prey to poachers pursuing them for their horns.
The prince and his wife have witnessed the work being done at Kaziranga National Park to protect them.
They've also been told about the pressures that arise from people living close to wild animals.
William, the campaigning conservation prince, hopes he can exploit the intense interest that is focused on his young family and draw the world's attention to the threat of extinction hanging over India's rhinoceros unicornis.

Conservationist Rita Banerji, who met them at the park, said: "They had a lot of questions about the wildlife situation in the country.
"This visit by the royal couple will definitely help in grabbing attention of a global audience to the threats that endangered species face."
William and Catherine visited a village on the edge of the park after the safari to find out how villagers live side-by-side with the wild animals.
At the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) at Panbari reserve forest, they fed milk formula to a group of baby animals.
Vivek Menon, chief executive officer of the Wildlife Trust of India, which established the CWRC with a number of other bodies, said: "They were absolutely thrilled and loved being with the animals.
"The duchess loved the baby rhino particularly. The duke said if he could he would have spent the whole day there."
After touring the centre, they visited the Kaziranga Discovery Park built by the Elephant Family, the charity founded by Mark Shand, the late brother of the Duchess of Cornwall.
They saw the first-of-its-kind health clinic for working elephants and an elephant information centre which is under construction.
William and Catherine also had the chance to show off their artistic sides by painting an Elephant Parade statue.
The couple's visit to Assam coincides with the Bohag Bihu festival, the celebration of the Assamese new year.
The bird was discovered when Highland Council workers began efforts to remove the tree and lights.
Scottish Natural Heritage said the bird could be scared off, but councillors have agreed to wait until the pigeon eventually gives up the nest.
The tree will stay in place with the lights switched off and a sign will be erected to explain why.
Lochaber committee chairman Thomas MacLennan said: "Although the pigeon is not a protected species, myself and fellow councillors Baxter, Gormley and Murphy decided to leave the bird in peace.
"Who knows, by next Christmas there might also be four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in our Christmas tree."
The 41-year-old, who is part of the England coaching set-up, was given his first managerial job in December.
Valencia won three of their 16 league games under the former television pundit, and 10 of 28 games overall.
Neville said he wanted to stay but results had "not been to my standards" or those "required by this club".
He added that he understood "we are in a results business".
Neville's younger brother Phil is also part of the Valencia coaching team and will be retained.
Neville first faced calls to quit after a 7-0 loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg in February.

His last match in charge was a 2-0 home defeat by Celta Vigo just before the international break.
He has spent the past six days with the England squad for friendly games with Germany and the Netherlands.
Former Liverpool assistant manager Pako Ayestaran, 53, will take charge for the rest of the season.
Pako joined the club as assistant coach in February in a move that Neville insisted was his decision.
"I'm the head coach of Valencia, I will be the head coach of Valencia for the rest of this season. If I leave, Pako will leave. He's come to be part of my coaching staff," Neville said at the time.
"I understand it might look like there's something going on. There absolutely isn't."
Valencia owner Peter Lim also co-owns Salford City along with the Neville brothers and former Manchester United team-mates Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes.
Neville's management career began with a Champions League loss to Lyon at the Mestalla and it was not until 13 February that Los Che clinched their first of only three league wins.
Cup competitions provided some respite for Neville, with seven wins coming in the Copa del Rey and Europa League.
Neville retired in 2011 after 602 Manchester United appearances and 85 England caps. He won 16 trophies at United and represented his country at five major tournaments.
Six-time Spanish champions Valencia are 14th in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone with eight games remaining.
On Saturday they face Las Palmas, who are one place below them, and meet four of the top six - including both Barcelona and Real Madrid - before the end of the season.
European football expert Andy Brassell:
"I don't think he did have any chance of turning it around and I think it was an incredibly difficult first job.
Not just because of the relative lack of experience, not just because of the size of Valencia, but because of the situation he was going into.
The fans were pretty unhappy with the way the club was being run, players were dispirited but you add to that the lack of experience, the communication barrier - it was just all too much."
Spanish football journalist Graham Hunter on BBC Radio 5 live:
"A cocktail of horrible factors piled against him. The first problem was he trusted Peter Lim - trusted that he'd be given time.
"I don't think in any way his credibility - as a coach, an analyst or somebody who will be brilliant for British football in the coming years - has been dented one little bit.
"He leaves a club that is still badly wounded, badly put together and he would have been the man - once he learned Spanish fluently - to put the club right again, off the pitch as well as on it, next season."
Real Madrid and Wales forward Gareth Bale said it was "a shame he's been sacked".
Speaking ahead of Saturday's El Clasico derby with Barcelona, Bale said: "It is obviously difficult coming to Spain anyway and being a manager where you really do have to be vocal.
"I'm sure he'll bounce back from the experience and it will stand him in good stead for the future."

Gary Neville's Valencia tenure in quotes:
In a statement, Miss Middleton - the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge - and Mr Matthews said they are planning to marry next year.
The couple became engaged on Sunday - reportedly during a trip to the Lake District.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are "absolutely delighted", a Kensington Palace spokesman said.
Miss Middleton was the maid of honour when the duchess married Prince William in 2011.
Her father, Michael Middleton, said he and his wife Carole were "absolutely thrilled" with the news.
"They make a wonderful couple and we wish them every happiness together," he added.
Miss Middleton was wearing her engagement ring as she was pictured leaving her house this morning.
The couple are reported to have been dating for about a year and were photographed at Wimbledon.
Organisers of the 85th Round the Island Race said "stronger than expected" offshore winds had led to the cancellation of some classes.
However, Lloyd Thornburg's MOD70 trimaran, Phaedo 3, finished the 50-nautical mile race in two hours, 23 minutes and 23 seconds.
The previous record was set by Olympic champion Sir Ben Ainslie in 2013.
He completed the course in two hours and 52 minutes - dedicating his achievement to fellow Olympic sailor Andrew Simpson who died in 2013.
The one-day race is believed to be the fourth largest participation sporting event in the UK after the London Marathon and the Great North and South Runs.
According to BBC Weather, a force 4-6 westerly breeze was forecast for Saturday's race.
The coastguard said several boats were unable to take part due to the conditions, others had to pull out during the event due to "lost rigging and rudders" and one boat sank.
Meanwhile, a number of ships lost their masts and several people were injured or rescued, including a 38-year-old man who suffered minor head injuries after being hit by the boom of a vessel.
"Regrettably, what appear to be near perfect conditions on land are not as favourable offshore, especially for smaller, less stable boats," JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race said in an earlier statement.
More than 1,500 boats were registered to take part in the race, which started and ended at Cowes and attracted about 16,000 sailors from across the UK, Europe and the US.
Seven people were rescued during last year's race and 70 boats pulled out in 2012 due to strong winds.
The first race took place in 1931 with 25 entries.
Multiple agencies are responding to the incident, said Vermont state police spokesman Scott Waterman.
Amtrak has said there are no "immediate reports of any life-threatening injuries".
In a news release it said the train, travelling south to Washington, derailed after striking a rock slide on the tracks.
Four people were taken away from the scene by ambulance.
Other passengers were taken by school bus to nearby Norwich University.
A deadly Amtrak passenger train derailment in Philadelphia this year killed seven people.
The RSPCA was contacted after a member of the public heard the cat screaming during the attack on the common off Walden Grange Close, Newport.
The charity said a man, accompanied by two teenage boys, was seen swinging the cat and stamping on it on 29 March.
RSPCA acting chief inspector Emma Smith said: "According to the account we have received this poor cat suffered a horrific ordeal."
The cat, which also had injuries which may be the result of a dog attack, was not chipped or wearing a collar so its owner cannot be traced.
The RSPCA is appealing for information about the attack and Ms Smith said the only description of the man was that he was possibly in his late 30s.
The video, filmed by the 27-year-old Smith but leaked to the media in September, showed him laughing while retired gymnast Luke Carson mimicked Islamic prayer practices.
Smith, who won pommel horse silver at Rio 2016, later said he was "deeply sorry" for his "thoughtless actions".
Carson was given a reprimand.
Smith, who won pommel horse silver at the Rio Games earlier this year, is one of Britain's best known gymnasts and won the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing in 2012.
He is currently taking a break from the sport and is touring as a guest celebrity on the Keep Dancing stage production.
British Gymnastics chief executive Jane Allen said her organisation had "no choice but to act responsibly" when dealing with Smith and Carson.
"It is regrettable that following a historic summer of achievement, the organisation finds itself in this difficult position with two high-profile members in breach of our standards of conduct," she said.
"Whilst both individuals showed remorse following the incident, we hope they use their profile to have a positive impact on sport and communities."
Former British gymnast Craig Heap, who captained England to Commonwealth Games team gold in 1998 and 2002, said he feared for Smith's safety after he revealed he had received death threats.
Heap also said he worried about Smith's "errors of judgement".
"We all do daft things," said Heap, now a pundit for BBC Sport.
"The problem is, when you become as successful and as famous as he is, there is always someone wanting to sell a story. When you are in a position of being a role model to young people, you have got to be extra careful."
British Gymnastics said Smith's ban was a "cumulative penalty" because of a previous breach of its rules on conduct.
He was reprimanded in June for posting an image on social media of an American gymnast, who was 16 when the photograph was taken, accompanied by a comment British Gymnastics said was "unbefitting to a participant".
In April, he apologised for questioning the judging at the British Championships, where he was beaten to pommel gold by Max Whitlock.
The Briton missed last month's Olympic and Paralympic celebrations to visit two London mosques "to learn more about the Muslim community".
Smith said he had previously been "ignorant to people's religion" and added on Facebook that it was his responsibility "as someone of sporting influence" to exercise freedom of speech "in good taste".
Carson's reprimand will stay on his record for two years, but the 27-year-old from Northern Ireland, who retired in 2015, is still able to coach.
The baked portrayal of East Lindsey is on show in the seafront's Compass Gardens.
Skegness Cake Fest was organised in a bid to create "a 100 sqm fully-edible map of the area".
Community groups and individuals were invited to create a baked version of their favourite landmark, building or place in the county out of cake.
Organisers SO Festival said: "We are so excited to present Cake Fest, a giant edible map of East Lindsey.
"One more thing, in case you were wondering - yes, when the map has been completed and suitably admired by the crowds, we'll eat the lot."
Similar Cake Fests have been held in Edinburgh and Stirling in Scotland.
It rejected an appeal by David Chaytor, Elliot Morley and Jim Devine that their cases should be heard by Parliament, not the courts.
The three men, who all deny theft by false accounting, will face separate trials at Southwark Crown Court.
The Supreme Court said the reasons for rejecting the appeal would be given at a later date.
But the decision upholds a ruling by the Court of Appeal in July that the three were not protected by parliamentary privilege - an ancient right protecting MPs from legal action arising from proceedings in Parliament - in relation to their expenses claims.
Former Bury North MP Mr Chaytor, 61, of Todmorden, West Yorkshire; former Scunthorpe MP Mr Morley, 58, of Winterton, north Lincolnshire; and former Livingston MP Mr Devine, 57, of Bathgate, West Lothian, are all on unconditional bail and face separate trials. The first, Mr Morley's trial, is expected to begin on 22 November.
In the Supreme Court hearing last month, Nigel Pleming QC, representing two of the men, told a panel of nine Supreme Court Justices that their appeal was "not, and never has been, an attempt to take them above or outside the law".
He argued important issues of principle were raised by the case and the allegations had to be "dealt with by the correct law, the law of Parliament" - arguing that only Parliament could question and impugn statements made in Parliament.
He argued that the expenses scheme was created and is administered by Parliament for Parliamentarians: "The administration of the scheme is also entirely a matter for the House of Commons - this extends not only to its creation but to its regulation and enforcement."
But in a brief hearing on Wednesday, Supreme Court President Lord Phillips said: "Each of these appeals is dismissed. The reasons will be given later."
In July the Court of Appeal ruled that parliamentary immunity or privilege had never been attached to allegations MPs had committed "crimes of dishonesty".
All three men were barred by their party from standing again as Labour MPs at the general election.
The charges against them followed a nine-month police investigation triggered after details of all MPs' expenses claims were leaked to a national newspaper.
After picking up their first piece of major silverware last season, the Staggies exited at the group stage in the revamped format.
"What did we do wrong? Have we got enough talent? Have we got enough desire? Have we got enough passion?"
These are the questions MacGregor asked and shared with BBC Scotland.
"Examine all these things and have that out with management and the players and just see if that desire to take Ross County further is still there," he added.
"If you lose that you are on the slippery slope."
The Dingwall side finished sixth in the top flight to cap a wonderful last campaign but MacGregor is worried standards had dropped as expectations were raised among supporters and in the boardroom.
"In the last four or five months, if we had that form over the season we would have been relegated," he said.
"There was something that wasn't quite right there. Were we taking that into this season? Were we being complacent?
"I do believe that you learn more in adversity than you learn in the good times. We might look back on it and say we learnt more from that than if we'd got further in the cup.
"We went beyond our goals last year. That gives us an extra challenge this year because when you've been successful you have to work harder to be successful again.
"It is marginal gains now that will actually make us better; the big things have been done."
The club is now debt free and MacGregor has prioritised how it interacts with the community and supporters.
"If you go to the clubs that really touch their base, if you go to Barcelona and you see what happens seven days a week, their relationship with their fans is really important," he said. "It's the same at Man City. It's more than a football club.
"You're seeing it as the top clubs reach out in China, the United States and India.
"In a small community club in the Highlands to touch fans and give them that sense of belonging is really important.
"Loyalty and season ticket loyalty particularly has been with an older generation. The younger generation are very much pay as you go. They have choices. That relationship of how the fan feels about the club is really important seven days a week not just 20 days a year when we play football.
"We care about them. We care about their job, we care about their health, and we care about their kids. The stronger we make that bond, the more successful this football club will be."

So, how do Ross County, who were playing in the Highland League in 1994, follow last season's achievements?
"Real success for us would be a top six position and to do well in the Scottish Cup," said MacGregor. "The minimum that we demand is to stay in the league.
"There are a number of us in this league that will feel a challenge with that. There's four city clubs, Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts that should be in the top six. There's another eight clubs that are fighting not to land in the bottom two.
"Normally you finish in the position where your revenue gets you the best players. Anyone who gets better than that has been successful."
Gonzalo Higuain tapped in a brilliant Alex Sandro cross and Sami Khedira smashed home after Paulo Dybala stepped over a Higuain cross.
Dybala hit the post with a 25-yard effort in the second half as the champions eased to victory.
Sassuolo's best chance came when Matteo Politano and Alessandro Matri forced a double save from Gianluigi Buffon.
Juventus, chasing a sixth consecutive title, are now four points above second-placed Roma, who lost 3-2 at Sampdoria having led twice. Juve also have a game in hand on the capital side.
In Sunday's late game, third-placed Napoli drew 1-1 with struggling Palermo. They are two points behind Roma.
Elsewhere in Serie A, AC Milan lost 2-1 to Udinese and Genoa drew 3-3 at Fiorentina, with Giovanni Simeone scoring twice.
Diego Falcinelli scored a hat-trick as 18th-placed Crotone beat Empoli to boost their slim survival hosts. They are now eight points adrift of their opponents, who sit 17th.
Cagliari and Bologna - who had two men sent off in the closing stages - drew 1-1, as did Torino and Atalanta.

It was being driven by a 40-year-old man between junctions 5 and 6 on the M4, near Langley, Berkshire, on Tuesday when the 5kg sack was hurled down.
A group of teenagers was seen on the footbridge before one of them pushed the sack over the railing.
Police said the "reckless" act smashed the windscreen and the driver had been fortunate to escape injury.
PC Callum Brown, from Thames Valley Police, described the behaviour of the youths as "stupid", and said it could have had "extremely serious consequences".
"It is very fortunate that the driver of the vehicle which was hit was uninjured and was able to safely pull over to the hard shoulder," he added.
"I would like to hear from anyone who was driving on the motorway at the time and saw a group of two or three teenagers on bicycles on or near the footbridge."
The 22-year-old, who will cost an undisclosed fee, has agreed a two-and-half-year contract.
She netted twice in 20 games for Birmingham in 2016, helping them finish fourth and reach the Continental Cup final, which they lost to her new club.
Lawley is Nick Cushing's side's first new signing of the winter.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to show my potential and what I can do," she told the Manchester City website.
"I sat down with Nick and spoke about how I can improve as a player - under his leadership and alongside the quality players that are already here.
"I want to become a better player and I hope it will help my international career as well. These facilities and the standard of football will push me on."
She will officially join Manchester City when the WSL transfer window re-opens in January.
City of York Council said the leak had caused damage to a section of the A1036 Tadcaster Road near the Holiday Inn hotel.
The road was fully closed during rush hour to allow the emergency services to assess the damage.
The council said it had reopened one lane and installed temporary traffic lights.
The Liverpool fighter edged the cruiserweight bout in front of his home crowd after moving ahead with a strong ninth round following close early exchanges.
The three judges scored it 114-115 116-112 115-113 to Bellew.
The winner is likely to face reigning WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck.
The British pair, who both weighed in at 14st 3lbs on Friday, both looked exhausted in the latter stages.
"I was getting tagged but I was just walking through it," Bellew told BBC Radio 5 live. "I love the sport and the glory of it - I just can't quit.
"I feel like crying - I'm so happy to get home to my three kids. Winning means so much to me. I was gutted about the split decision, I think I won nine rounds.
"I got him in the corner and roughed him up, it was old school. It was only after seven rounds when I realised I wouldn't get hit with a big shot. I began to creep forward and he was always on the back foot."
Bellew's victory gave him revenge for a majority decision defeat to the Welshman in their WBO light-heavyweight showdown at the same Echo Arena venue three years ago.
Since their first fight both men suffered knockout losses against Adonis Stevenson and Sergey Kovalev respectively.
After a cagey first few rounds dominated by jabs from both sides, Bellew stepped up the pace in the seventh, without ever landing a significant blow.
Cleverly spent most of the ninth round with his back against the ropes but Bellew missed too often and, as the fight became ragged, the Welshman clung on, only to lose on a split decision.
Cleverly said: "It shows my character, I have come up a weight. His strength showed in the second half. He was using his strength and made it pay. One-one, maybe we will have third fight."
In response, Bellew said he would "fight anywhere", including the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. "Let's do it," he added.
The other fights on the undercard:

"I have to go back to the room and do another nine rounds of pads now. I have to finish off what I started. I don't like to make predictions but I will train to get in peak condition and I reckon I will be able to take Kevin Johnson out next. It will be a good move for me."
Groves: "My coach says it was a 5/10 display. I'll have a look back at it, but I'd probably agree. Fighting a southpaw is a new experience and just what I needed. I had to change my distance and range and find my radar to someone with an opposite style.
"It's good to get a stoppage and now I want to roll on for the next one. I want the quickest route to a world title."
DeGale: "He's never been stopped, Sakio Bika couldn't stop him and I was only getting warmed up. That left hand is my shot at the moment. I hit him and he was stumbling around, he wasn't in a position to carry on.
"I'll come out and watch George Groves but don't worry about him, I am the mandatory for the IBF title - I want to make history.
"I like Carl [Froch] but it feels like he doesn't want to fight me, I respect him but I think he's being a bit of a coward not fighting me - fight me or vacate the title."
Promoter Eddie Hearn added: "The Froch fight is a great fight, the Groves fight is a great fight, but James will fight for a World title in his next fight whomever there is."
Smith said: "My Nan passed away last week and she would've been 80 tonight. It was a tough week but going to the gym and getting away from it all maybe helped.
"He's been to points twice with Bika and Abraham but I hurt him with body shots and that shows I can hurt some good fighters. It's another box ticked with the 12 rounds under the belt."
The 28-year-old, who was a £15m signing from Fulham in 2012, has scored three times in 18 games to help Spurs challenge for the Premier League title.
"The way we're playing, the way the club is developing, everything is very good," Dembele told the Spurs website.
"Everyone wants to be part of this team and this club. That's why I am proud to extend my contract."
Dyfed Edwards, leader of the council's Plaid Cymru group, has said he will not stand for re-election to the council after 13 years.
Mr Edwards was elected to the council in 2004 and became leader in 2008 - he will be the council's longest serving leader when he steps aside in 2017.
He said: "I had no intention of being a councillor for life."
He will also step down from his seat on the council as representative for the Penygroes ward.
Mr Edwards, who has been outspoken about council cuts in his role as deputy presiding officer for the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA), said despite financial challenges, he believed local authorities could still make a difference.
"Success is achieved by reaching out and acting positively rather than retreating to an island of negativity," he said.
"I am optimistic about the future and am hopeful that Gwynedd will remain at the heart of building the new Wales."
Aabid Ali - known as Darren Glennon before he converted to Islam - told his wife he wanted to bomb an RAF base.
He was arrested in November after radicalisation concerns were raised and pleaded guilty to a number of offences.
The judge at Manchester Crown Court said Ali "plainly intended to encourage terrorism".
The court heard that Ali's wife worked at an army barracks.
Last year he was visited by officials over support for so-called Islamic State.
Ali, 49, from Yale Park, Wrexham, told them he converted to Islam while serving a prison sentence about 20 years ago. He believed in Sharia Law, and the UK military was a "legitimate target".
The court heard that despite being offered assistance by the prevent programme officers in October 2016, "the defendant remained unswerved in his beliefs".
The prevent programme is part of the UK government's counter-terrorism strategy, and tries to identify those at risk from radicalisation.
The court heard that security at his wife's workplace was heightened.
Ali had told her he wanted to kill a soldier with a car. He also told her he wanted to bomb an RAF base.
He had researched bomb-making on the internet, as well as travelling to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
He had also researched GCHQ and spying, SAS barracks, IS-related material, executions, and "security arrangements at 10 Downing Street".
Following his arrest he was asked if he had suicidal intentions, to which he replied: "Only as a martyr to jihad."
Ali followed the court proceedings via video link from HMP Chelmsford.
He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to two offences of having Isis publications, bomb making manuals, useful for terrorist purposes and a further count of encouraging terrorism, all committed last autumn.
Jailing him, Judge Stockdale QC said Ali was responsible for "extremely serious offending" and was "fixated on terrorism and extremism".
He said Ali remained "deeply radicalised" and wanted to indoctrinate others through his postings on social media.
A previous court hearing was told he published a statement on YouTube encouraging others to take up jihad and terrorism.
Speaking after the sentencing, North Wales Police said Ali's arrest followed an intelligence-led operation between the Wales Extremism Counter Terrorism and West Midlands Counter Terrorism units.
"North Wales Police has strong links with the Muslim community and members of that community have worked with us to provide support to this investigation," said Assistant Chief Constable Richard Debicki.
"Extremism and radicalisation is something that we continue to be constantly vigilant about.
"We also work hard to ensure that efforts to victimise or commit hate crime against Muslim communities across north Wales are met with a no tolerance approach. It is crucially important that this work continues."
In the main city, Jaffna, all businesses and schools shut down.
A policeman was injured and tear gas fired after a court was attacked as some protests turned violent.
Police have arrested nine suspects in the killing, but are still being blamed for failing to save the victim.
Local people allege that Vidya, a student from Punguduthivu island near Jaffna city, was gang-raped before she was murdered.
School students protested in Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu, Mannar and Vavuniya districts.
Demonstrators want the immediate punishment of the arrested suspects, who also come from Punguduthivu.
Some have taken matters into their own hands.
Three of the suspects' houses in Punguduthivu had been attacked and burnt down by angry villagers.
Increasingly, people in northern Sri Lanka feel that criminals are gaining the upper hand and playing havoc as a result.
There are a lot of rapes and murders.
Impunity was on the rise under the previous government and has paved the way for crimes within the community.
Local people feel that police have failed to take some crimes seriously enough at first.
Nine people have now been arrested for the latest incident, but local people say that justice has yet to be properly implemented.
This is the biggest shutdown in the north since 2000.
Since the change of government in January, people now have the freedom to protest.
Their tactic of drawing-down shutters is something that could not have been done under the government of Mahinda Rajapaksa.
But demonstrations are different from those of the past which were politically motivated and sometimes involved Tamil Tiger rebels who controlled the area.
Now it is the people, not political figures, who are demanding justice.
Another relative of an arrested suspect was attacked with sharp implements and admitted to Jaffna hospital.
Five suspects were also attacked on Monday by angry rickshaw drivers near Jaffna hospital when the police brought them there for medical examination prior to their detention.
Simon Hamilton spent his first day in the post meeting nurses at a conference in the Ulster Hospital, Dundonald.
He said nurses were the cornerstone of the health service and praised their dedication.
"When we are talking about budgets and shillings and pence, we don't think about people who are every day doing fantastic jobs," he said.
"You have a unique role that sees you from the happiest to saddest times of life."
Mr Hamilton said he did not need to be in his job for "one day, 100 days or even 1,000 days" to appreciate the "immense pressure" faced by everyone working in the modern health service.
"Everybody understands and appreciates that, as our health service moves forward and we face the challenges in Northern Ireland and those faced by health services across the world, that we need to change how we do things - but we need to change how we do things for the better," he said.
"We shouldn't be afraid of change, we shouldn't be afraid of reform, we shouldn't be afraid of transformation."
He told the nurses and midwives who had gathered for a conference on Tuesday, International Nurses' Day, that they made "a wonderful difference" to the lives of people.
"Our health service continues to experience significant pressures yet despite this, nurses ensure dignity and respect for everyone they care for," he said.
"They are often the first person a patient sees when they come into contact with the health service and they remain in close contact throughout the patient's journey. The lasting impressions made by nurses underpin the continued respect and belief in our NHS and I thank them for that."
Mr Hamilton said that he was "optimistic" that health workers would embrace "the transformation and change and reform that is required to ensure that our citizens get the standard of health and social care that they need".
Ms Park told family members that those responsible for the ferry sinking on 16 April would be "punished severely".
The Sewol ferry had 476 passengers on board when it sank - 174 were rescued, and 58 remain unaccounted for.
Prosecutors say the ferry owner ignored safety warnings and allowed the ship to be overloaded.
Ms Park visited Jindo island, close to where the ship sank, on Sunday. It was her second meeting with the family members.
Speaking to relatives, she said: "I feel a sense of unlimited responsibility... it is heart-rending to imagine how you must be feeling."
"A thorough investigation will be conducted to find those who were responsible and criminally at fault... and they will be punished severely," she added.
Authorities are investigating whether the ship sank from overloading and changes in the structure of the ship.
Anger has also been directed at the ship's captain and crew members, who delayed giving evacuation orders.
Last week, South Korean Prime Minister Chung Hong-won resigned amid criticism of the government's handling of the disaster.
Divers have been navigating the sunken ship in an attempt to retrieve the remaining bodies. However, the search has been hampered by strong currents, debris, and poor visibility.
Several divers were suffering from decompression sickness, Yonhap news agency reported on Friday.
Eluned Morgan said leaving the European customs union could require "immense infrastructure" at Welsh ports.
In response to concerns, Brexit minister David Jones told AMs on Tuesday that it "remains to be seen" whether there will be customs checks.
It is not yet clear what kind of border would exist with Ireland after Brexit.
There have been calls for the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to remain fully open after the UK leaves the European Union.
Prime Minister Theresa May has said she wants a "seamless, frictionless border".
The United Kingdom has had a common travel area with the republic since the 1920s.
Ms Morgan fears that, if the border between the north and south of Ireland remains "soft", it could result in more stringent checks between Wales and Ireland.
"There is a real danger that if there is a hard border with Wales, but a soft border with Northern Ireland, then freight will be transported via the easier borderless route from Belfast to Liverpool or Cairnryan to Larne," the Mid and West Wales AM said.
"Four hundred lorries an hour pour off the ferry at Holyhead, and in the summer we welcome hordes of tourists from the Irish Republic to Wales through Fishguard," she added.
"If we were outside the customs union, it is hard to see how these goods and people could be let in without being inspected."
"In order to do that the port would have to create an immense infrastructure to park all 400 lorries."
The customs union is the agreement where countries in the EU do not impose tariffs on each other's goods and put common external tariffs on goods from countries outside the agreement.
Ms Morgan said the fallout of Brexit could mean "more money, more infrastructure and more red tape".
Ms Morgan put her concerns to Brexit Minister David Jones at a hearing of the assembly's external affairs committee on Monday.
He said there had been discussions with the UK's Border Force on the issue and that the Home Office was in process of developing policy.
Mr Jones said Holyhead was "very important" for freight traffic.
He said the Anglesey port "already had problems" in terms of lorries, with a lorry park opened there to ease the issue.
Asked by Plaid Cymru AM Steffan Lewis whether there would be customs and border checks, Mr Jones said: "That remains to be seen.
"The importance of freedom of movement on the island of Ireland and between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom is something that the government regards as paramount.
"Therefore we intend to come up with a solution to what otherwise might seem to be a difficult problem.
"We intend to make sure that the common travel area continues."
The job advert on Facebook went viral and applications for the role of constable have come from as far as Thailand and Australia.
The job was described as "possibly the most enviable policing post in the UK or even the world".
Sgt Colin Taylor, who posted the advert, said: "The phones were red-hot at the police station all weekend,"
Crimes between March 2014 and February 2015 in the islands, which have a population of 2,200, included 24 cases of violence, sexual offences, criminal damage and arson.
There were three cases of stolen bicycles last year, but with only five miles of roads, there is not far to go.
Sgt Taylor admitted he may have "overcooked" the job advert, and pointed out that it was only open to Devon and Cornwall Police officers and that applications closed on 3 April.
Abilities required for the post included: "The resolve to issue a parking ticket to your spouse so tactfully so as not find dinner in the dog thereafter."
Sgt Taylor said: "Commiserations go to hopefuls who contacted us from Ukraine, Texas, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Philippines, Thailand, Spain, Greece, loads from Italy, Australia, Germany, Portugal, South Africa and a smattering from England, Scotland and Ireland."
In one incident this year police were baffled after a fried egg was left at the scene of a break-in into a shed containing footballs.
Sexting (sending explicit messages or images via text) is a worry and must be monitored, says the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
It says not enough is known about the impact on young minds.
Teachers, doctors and social workers must judge appropriateness for age.
Inappropriate sexualised behaviour, which can include sexting, is often an expression of problems or underlying vulnerabilities, says NICE.
The guidelines suggest professionals use resources such as the Brook Sexual Behaviours Traffic Light Tool to help gauge the severity of the behaviour - actions listed as red indicate likely harm, while those in green are viewed as part of normal growing up.
Sexting is given an amber traffic light, as is messaging sexual images of a person, even if they have given their consent.
Amber warning signs among much younger children include the use of sexual themes in language and play.
Dr Abdullah Kraam, a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist, helped write the NICE guidelines.
He said the guidance was timely given the growth in online grooming and pornography.
"The advice is useful. It gives people some idea as to whether a child's behaviour is concerning or not.
"Some things will be obvious, but other behaviours may be harder to judge. There are grey areas."
If in doubt, he says it is best to "refer it up to the experts".
Jon Brown, of the child protection charity the NSPCC, said it was important not to label children as mini sex offenders: "Steps to change behaviour will only be effective if the family and support network understand there is an issue and are supportive."
Professor Gillian Leng, deputy chief executive of NICE, said: "Inquisitive behaviour is a normal part of growing up and it is natural for children to ask about different body parts or be curious about the differences between girls and boys.
"However there is also a minority of children and young people who engage in sexual behaviour that is not appropriate for their age or development.
"This guidance is about preparing teachers, nurses, social workers and others to recognise harmful sexual behaviour when it occurs and ensure they can work across team boundaries, so that problem behaviour is not ignored or missed and children and young people receive the help they need." | Sixty Conservative MPs, including seven ex-cabinet ministers, are calling for Britain to quit the single market and customs union when it leaves the EU.

Officers moved in around 07:00 (05:00 GMT) to remove caravans parked in the sprawling camp as Roma families hastily packed up their belongings.
Many people had already left the camp, where 200 people were living, during the night, French media report.
On Wednesday, Interior Minister Manuel Valls drew criticism for his stance.
After the Socialist minister said few Roma could ever integrate into French society and "the majority" should be sent "back to the borders", human rights campaigners, the European Commission and one of his cabinet colleagues voiced indignation.
Amnesty International said more than 10,000 Roma had been evicted from temporary camps in the first half of the year and Mr Valls's remarks were likely to "perpetuate stereotypes and encourage animosity".
Some 20,000 Roma have settled in France, coming mainly from Romania, Bulgaria and the former Yugoslavia.
The police operation in Roubaix, on the Belgian border near the city of Lille, took place peacefully, according to French news website Nordeclair, which carried video of the clearance.
The mayor of Roubaix, Pierre Dubois, said the town had asked police to clear the camp for reasons of "security, hygiene and major inconvenience to local residents".
Roubaix was already providing accommodation for 150 Roma at two sites, he added, asking for those evicted to be re-housed elsewhere.
But the eviction was criticised by politician Majdouline Sbai, who is deputy head of the Nord/Pas-de-Calais regional council.
She said that many children from the camp had been enrolled in local schools and that the eviction had been carried out without any substantial offer of new accommodation.
The treatment of Roma people - who face widespread discrimination in Europe - is a political hot potato in France.
Mr Valls has encouraged local councils to systematically dismantle illegal Roma slums, and offer the expelled residents free flights back to their countries of origin.
He has also been at the forefront of French opposition to allowing Bulgaria and Romania full access to the passport-free Schengen zone.
McIlroy, 26, made eight birdies during his six-under-par 66, two shots fewer than world number one Jordan Spieth, who was in the same group as McIlroy.
American amateur Bryson DeChambeau leads on eight under with Sweden's Henrik Stenson on seven under.
"It was a great way to start the year, I could not be happier," McIlroy said.
"I felt in practice last week that I was swinging well and I came back mentally fresh and excited to play again."
World number three McIlroy was playing for the first time since winning the DP World Tour Championship in November and the Northern Irishman's performance impressed American Spieth.
"It was a masterclass, the Rory that I have seen win major championships," said 22-year-old Spieth, who won the Masters and the US Open in 2015.
English duo Richard Bland and Andy Sullivan are tied for fifth on five under, while fellow Englishmen David Howell and Matthew Fitzpatrick are level with Spieth in tied seventh on four under.
DeChambeau carded seven birdies and an eagle in an impressive 64 to become the surprise leader in Abu Dhabi.
The 22-year-old describes himself as a "golf scientist" and has modified his irons so they are all the length of a six iron.
"It was quite incredible," DeChambeau said of his round. "I had no expectations and was just able to freewheel a little bit and that allows me to do my best."
The report says Ethiopia has cut the number of child deaths to 68 per 1,000 births from more than 200 in 1990.
The government attributed the improved figures to its growing economy.
Despite the reduction, the UN Children's Fund said Ethiopia needed to do much more to improve health facilities for pregnant women.
Ethiopia is one of Africa's poorest states, although it has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years and is one of the continent's leading coffee producers.
Its economy revolves around agriculture, which in turn relies on rainfall.
The BBC's Emmanuel Igunza in the capital, Addis Ababa, says Ethiopia was once a byword for malnutrition in Africa.
But the latest Unicef figures show Ethiopia is one of the few African countries on the path to realising the millennium development goal of reducing child mortality rates, he says.
Ethiopia's Health Minister Kesetebirhan Admasu said increasing household incomes had helped improve people's health.
"This has also resulted in better nutrition for children [and] women; this has translated into better sanitation - all these have direct or indirect impact on the survival of children," he told BBC Africa.
He said the government has also been "aggressively expanding its primary healthcare network".
"We have now 93% coverage of one health centre for 25,000 people, which basically means one health facility within a 7km (four mile) radius," he said.
Kinondoni District Commissioner Paul Makonda said he hopes to expand the scheme across the entire city.
The trips on the "daladala" bus taxis will be paid for by the city's associations, echoing a scheme where soldiers travel for free on buses.
Mr Makonda set up the scheme after First Lady Janeth Magufuli visited a local school in February.
Her former colleagues at the Mbuyuni primary school, where she taught for over 15 years, mentioned room shortages and transport difficulties as current problems.
Teachers greeted the news with smiles and proudly showed the new ID cards showing they are entitled to free transport to the BBC's Tulanana Bohela in Dar es Salaam.
Kinondoni, which has a population of over one million, currently provides students with 50% discount on travel and has around 35,000 teachers.
The ID cards are expected to be available for 3,000 teachers by the end of the week.
Journeys which normally cost around 400 shillings (18 US cents; 12p) are free between 05:30 and 08:00 and 15:00 to 17:00 to those holding the special card.
People were admitted with diarrhoea and vomiting over the weekend and some have been confirmed as cases of norovirus.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said the operation was "over for now" and the planes had gone.
Iran's Defence Minister Hossein Deghan had earlier criticised Russia for publicising the raids last week, saying it had exhibited a "show-off" attitude.
Russia for its part has confirmed that all of its planes used from Iran for Syria strikes are now back in Russia.
Russia. like Iran, is a key ally of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Last Tuesday, Russia's defence ministry announced that Tupolev-22M3 long-range bombers and Sukhoi-34 strike fighters had used the Shahid Nojeh airbase near the western city of Hamedan to carry out air strikes on "terrorists" in Syria.
The raids were the first carried by Russia from a third country since it began an air campaign against Mr Assad's opponents almost a year ago, and also the first launched from Iranian soil by a foreign military since World War Two.
Russia now says that aircraft which were based at the Hamedan air base are no longer located there and have returned to the Russian Federation.
Defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying that future use of the base will now only take place "on the basis of mutual agreements between the two countries on the fight against terrorism and will depend on developments in Syria".
The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, previously lauded the "strategic" co-operation with Russia. But some MPs complained that it breached the Islamic Republic's constitution, which prohibits allowing foreign militaries to be based on its territory.
In an interview with state TV on Monday, Gen Deghan stressed that Russia would only use the Nojeh airbase "for a very short and fixed span, corresponding [to an] operation in Syria".
Gen Deghan was asked why Russia had chosen to reveal its presence there whereas Iran had not.
"The Russians are interested to show they are a superpower to guarantee their share in the political future of Syria and, of course, there has been a kind of show-off and ungentlemanly [attitude] in this field."
Gen Deghan explained that Russia had "decided to bring in more planes and boost its speed and accuracy in operations".
"Therefore, it needed to refuel in an area closer to the operation. That's why they used the Nojeh base. But we have definitely not given them a military base."
Hours later, Mr Qasemi announced that Russia's deployment had ended.
"It was a specific, authorised mission and it's over for now. They conducted it and they are gone now," he was quoted by the official news agency as saying.
The US, which backs the opposition to Syria's president, had said Russia's use of the Iranian base was "unfortunate but not surprising".
The Rocky spin-off was also given prizes for lead actor Michael B Jordan and for supporting players Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson.
The best ensemble performance award went to Straight Outta Compton, which also won for best original screenplay.
Brie Larson won best actress for Room and George Miller won best director for Mad Max: Fury Road, which also won the best cinematography prize.
Beasts of No Nation received a special mention, with young lead Abraham Attah getting the BFCC's rising star award.
The US critics' association called the Ghanaian's debut as an African child soldier was "one of the strongest and most phenomenal we have ever seen" and said he had "a very bright future ahead of him".
Rapper Ice Cube, producer of NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton, won a pioneer award for showing "artistic integrity and an unerring commitment to excellence".

Abertawe Bro Morgannwg wants to encourage the 500,000 people who live in its area to exercise regularly.
It is hosting an event on Monday to discuss a new strategy for local organisations.
It includes holding walking meetings instead of boardroom meetings.
The board said physical activity levels in adults and children in the three counties are "worryingly" low, with one in three people leading an almost sedentary lifestyle.
What we should be doing:
Sara Hayes, ABMU's director of public heath, said: "Nearly one in five of all deaths in the ABMU area could be prevented if everybody moved enough.
"We were made to be active and being active is a natural and healthy thing to do. The problem is that physical activity levels are far too low and they have not increased for over 10 years."
She said the new Promise to Move More strategy is aimed at building regular exercise into everyday lives.
It includes things like scrapping 'keep off the grass' and 'no ball games' signs to encourage outdoor play, to supporting walking meetings where staff go for a brisk walk for a discussion instead of sitting around a table.
The event on Monday takes place at Swansea University Bay Campus at 13:00 BST.
It was dredged up by coracleman Andrew Davies while casting his nets on the River Towy in Carmarthen.
These types of swords are strongly associated with Indonesia, but can also be found in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines.
Pictures have been sent to the British Museum to find out how it reached the river and how long it has been there.
Mr Davies said he was fishing for sea trout in the river behind the town's B&Q store at night.
"As I pulled the net in, the sword was hanging in the back," he said.
"It is about 3ft (0.9m) long and has an eagle's head where the handle is."
He took the sword to Carmarthenshire County Museum in nearby Abergwili.
Curator Gavin Evans said the sword gave an initial impression of being Roman, but on closer inspection he realised it was "something much more exotic".
He said: "Carmarthen, up until the industrial revolution, was in some senses the most important town in Wales, so there would have been a lot of comings and goings of goods and of people to the town."
Mr Evans said there were "a number of scenarios" for why the sword ended up in the River Towy, with the most likely that it was brought back by a sailor who had been travelling around the world and it had fallen overboard.
Mr Davies said he thinks he will get to keep the sword, although "it is not the sort of thing you can hang on the wall in the house".
"As far a value is concerned, it's the historical value more than anything," he added.
Police had initially asked for help to trace Farrah Fadli, 29, McKenzie Scullion, 10, and Eva Kerr, 4.
They had been missing since about 11:00 on Wednesday, and officers were concerned for their welfare.
At about 19:15 on Friday Ms Fadli, who lives in Ayr and is also known as Farrah Gillespie, left the children with a friend in Irvine.
Ms Fadli remains missing. She is 5ft 4in, of slim build with dyed blonde hair.
Officers said she has not gone missing before.
A police spokesman said: "Farrah is still missing. She dropped off the children at a friend's house in Irvine around 7.15pm last night but left soon after.
"Police are continuing their search for Farrah and would appeal to either herself to get in touch with them or her family or for anyone who knows where she is to contact officers at Ayr Police Office via 101."
Thomas Tooth, 32, from Middleton, Greater Manchester, was detained in Badacsonytoma, by Hungarian Police and Greater Manchester Police.
Tooth was convicted of wounding in his absence in 2010 following the assault outside The Angel pub, Royton, in 2008.
The National Crime Agency said he would be sentenced following extradition.
Tooth has evaded justice since 2010 when he failed to appear at court and was found guilty in his absence of affray and unlawful wounding.
Dave Allen, head of the International Crime Bureau at the agency, said: "Thomas Tooth is a violent criminal who wanted to evade justice by fleeing the country."
Tooth is the 10th fugitive to be arrested as part of Operation Return, a joint initiative involving the National Crime Agency, Crimestoppers UK, Bel M (Dutch Crimestoppers) and the Dutch authorities.
He featured in an Operation Return campaign after spending some time in the Netherlands while on the run.
Victorino Chua, 49, denies murdering three patients at Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport.
Prof Brian Frier, the first defence witness, told Manchester Crown Court hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar may not have killed the patients.
The jury heard he had written hundreds of publications on the conditions.
Mr Chua, of Heaton Norris, is accused of murdering Tracey Arden, 44, Derek Weaver, 83, and Arnold Lancaster, 71, by poisoning them with insulin.
Prof Frier told the jury that hypoglycaemia may or may not have hastened the deaths of Ms Arden and Mr Weaver.
In the case of Ms Arden, he said going any further would be "entirely speculating."
Asked about Mr Weaver's death, he said: "It's unlikely the hypoglycaemia precipitated his demise".
The defence agree Ms Arden and Mr Weaver were wrongly given insulin but insist the defendant did not administer the hormone.
Prof Frier said Mr Lancaster was "teetering on the edge of hypoglycaemia... at admission."
He added a drop in blood sugar was the result of terminal cancer and septicaemia, adding: "It's a final event in the course of his illness."
The court was told Mr Lancaster's cancer was so advanced his liver was almost completely replaced by tumours.
Prosecution witness Dr Peter Kroker had previously told the jury he believed hypoglycaemia most likely contributed to Ms Arden and Mr Weaver's deaths.
He added it was "more likely than not" the alleged administration of insulin hastened Mr Lancaster's death and it was a "major metabolic attack" on the patient's system.
Mr Chua also denies poisoning another 18 patients using saline solution contaminated with insulin in the summer of 2011 and altering prescription charts on a ward at the hospital in January 2012.
The case continues.
It marked the end of an epic 36-hour rescue operation after the collapse of an under-construction flyover in the city.
Rescuers worked through the night in the Girish Park area, where the bypass collapsed, killing at least 24 people and injuring hundreds.
The exhaustion of their exertions was written in the faces of the rescue workers. Their uniforms were dusty and their hair was matted with sweat as they sat, shoulders slumped, on girders and mounds of rubble around the site.
What had been an effort to save survivors and recover bodies became something much simpler: a clean-up job.
In came the mechanical diggers, hefting great loads of debris onto the backs of battered trucks.
This would normally be one of the busiest parts of one of India's busiest cities and all around was evidence of the scale of the tragedy: a twisted and burnt motorcycle, the shattered remains of an auto-rickshaw, a discarded handbag and - amongst the wreckage - tattered banners of flapping fabric.
Volunteers handed out clay cups of hot sweet tea to rescue workers and gawkers alike.
There was still a buzz of curious excitement among those gathered to watch the operation, but the atmosphere was slowly and subtly beginning to change.
As the urgency and adrenaline that had sustained people during the long night began to drain away, it was replaced by growing anger.
The people straining at the security barriers erected to protect the site wanted to know why what should have been a fairly straightforward construction project ended in such terrible disaster.
They were asking whether the company building the overpass had been cutting corners. Was it rushing to finish the much-delayed project because of pressure from the state government? Why was a company that had been blacklisted by a number of Indian states still involved in the first place?
Every now and then a senior military officer or a politician would sweep through to slowly inspect the site followed by crowds of camera crews and photographers.
The state elections are just days away and this disaster is a huge political issue, not just here in Bengal but across India.
The ugly spectacle of blame and recrimination has well and truly begun.
But great tragedies are the true test of a community. And Kolkata came up trumps.
The city came together in the wake of the disaster to offer solace and support.
Just as everyone's energy was flagging near noon on Friday, a group of Sikhs brought huge steaming pots of rice and dhal (lentils) and served it to whoever was hungry in plates made of pressed leaves.
Even in the darkest moments there is light.
Premises were searched at Shaftesbury Square and Lisburn Road in Belfast and Chapel Hill in Lisburn.
More than 100 illegal gaming machines and three casino roulette machines were seized as well as £200,000 in cash.
A 63-year-old-man from Lurgan was arrested and has been bailed to attend Musgrave police station on 11 March.
Officers from Home Office Immigration Enforcement also arrested a man in his 40s on suspicion of an immigration offence.
Det Supt Andrea McMullan, from the Organised Crime Branch, said that in addition to the substantial amount of cash seized police believe the three roulette machines have a value of £100,000 each.
"We seized a further 130 smaller gaming machines which are worth around £1,000 each," she said.
"We have worked with District policing colleagues and partners in the Gambling Commission and Immigration Enforcement to stop what we believe were premises being used for illegal gambling and money laundering."
Ex-campaign director Dominic Cummings said "lots" of things could happen to make him wish his side had lost.
But he also stressed there were more possible outcomes in which leaving would be good for the EU and the UK.
Mr Cummings made the comments in a Twitter exchange with legal commentator David Allen Green.
End of Twitter post by @odysseanproject
He tweeted (his Twitter name is @odysseanproject) that there were "more possible branches of future" in which leaving was "a good thing", saying it increased Europe's "overall ability to adapt more effectively to an uncertain world".
Mr Cummings also warned Brexit negotiations were heading for a "debacle" without "management changes" in Downing Street, although he said warned the importance of the talks was "greatly overstated" compared with domestic reforms that could be carried out.
"Decisions re our own institutions will decide success/failure," he tweeted.
Critics, including pro-Remain Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, seized on his comments.
The UK is due to leave the EU in March 2019, and formal negotiations between the two sides have started.
Earlier former Tory chancellor Nigel Lawson, who campaigned to leave the EU, predicted a £10bn "Brexit dividend" for the UK once it leaves, describing this as a "great chink of light" for current Chancellor Philip Hammond.
"Once we leave there will be this £10bn a year bonus - unless we are foolish enough to negotiate it away," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Leave campaigners have previously cited a £32bn "dividend" in the three years after Brexit, calculated by adding together the UK's net contribution for each year.
The issue of any "divorce bill" the UK might face is expected to be tackled at an early stage of the talks.
Before the negotiations started, the government set out its negotiation aims, including a new "comprehensive" free trade deal with the EU.
Another former chancellor, Labour's Alistair Darling - who campaigned to stay in the EU - said the UK looks "pretty clueless" as it attempts to negotiate its way out.
Lord Darling, whose stark economic warnings before the Brexit vote have not yet materialised, said: "Until we know what the Brexit settlement is, and frankly at the moment we haven't a clue what it is - and every day the government is giving an impression that it hasn't a clue either what it's going to look like - you won't know what the economy is going to do."
He added: "Here we are, shaping the future... and the UK looks pretty clueless at the moment - I don't ever recall a situation where our country has been in that position before."
The deal, announced in June, will expand Tesla's clean energy business.
California-based Tesla is known as a pioneer in electric cars but since last year has also been selling batteries that can power homes and businesses.
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk owns 22% of SolarCity and sits on the firm's board. SolarCity's chief executive Lyndon Rive and Mr Musk are cousins.
Under the deal, SolarCity has until 14 September to solicit offers from other potential buyers.
The two firms announced the deal on Tesla's website, saying: "Solar and storage are at their best when they're combined."
Mr Musk has previously described the deal as a "no brainer".
He said it would transform Tesla into the "world's only vertically integrated energy company offering end-to-end clean energy products", from solar panels and home storage batteries to electric vehicles.
As part of that strategy, Tesla is opening an enormous new Gigafactory, which will be able to make batteries for much more than cars.
However, financier Jim Chanos, who is betting against the shares of both firms, has described the deal as a "shameful example of corporate governance at its worst".
Rebecca Steinfeld and Charles Keidan lost their case in the Court of Appeal to have a civil partnership.
Although the judges acknowledged there was a potential breach of the couple's human rights, they argued that the government should have more time to decide the future of civil partnership in the UK.
BBC readers asked which countries permit civil partnership for a man and a woman.
We looked into it - and the answer is that there are 11 places in Europe where opposite-sex couples can choose civil partnership in one form or another.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the famously liberal Netherlands was the first country in Europe to allow heterosexual couples to enter a civil partnership.
Portuguese citizens or legal foreign residents who have lived together for at least two years can enter a civil union.
Rights for opposite-sex couples in a civil union are largely the same as for married couples.
France introduced the Civil Solidarity Pact or PACS to give legal status to both heterosexual and same-sex couples.
Although a PACS does not give the same rights as marriage, it is nonetheless popular with couples.
While the number of marriages has declined each year since 2000, the number of couples choosing a civil solidarity pact has increased, by up to 25% in some years.
Hot on the heels of their neighbours, Belgian citizens in opposite-sex relationships have been able to choose a civil union or "statutory cohabitation" over marriage since 2000.
The French PACS model also influenced Luxembourg.
The partnerships provide many of the same rights as marriage. However, couples are not permitted to jointly adopt children.
It is more popular among younger couples - and anyone who declares a civil union can take a six-day holiday from work.
Opposite-sex couples have been able to obtain the status of "stable union of a couple" since 2005.
The Greek parliament followed in the steps of France's example, and in 2008 introduced civil unions for opposite-sex couples.
However, few Greeks have taken up the opportunity - in the year after the law was introduced, just 161 couples joined in civil union.
Couples in the British territory can choose civil partnership, which grants most of the rights of marriage.
Although the legislation permits both opposite-sex and same-sex couples to have civil union, the first couple to take advantage were Nadine and Alicia Muscat, who tied the knot in May 2014 after being together for 20 years.
Heterosexual and same-sex couples can enter a civil union in Malta which gives the same rights and responsibilities as marriage, including the right to joint adoption.
The Estonian parliament passed a law by a margin of two to permit heterosexual and same-sex couples to enter civil partnership in 2014.
Unlike the majority of countries on this list, Estonian citizens did not back their representatives - a survey found that 60% of respondents were not in favour of the legislation.
Nevertheless, the law came into force on 1 January 2016.
Men and women in Britain hoping to one day have a civil partnership can be inspired by the Isle of Man, which is a British Crown Dependency.
The island passed the law in August 2016.
In October, Adelina Cosson and Kieran Hodgson were the first heterosexual couple in the British Isles to take advantage of the new law.
One week later, Claire Beale and Martin Loat flew from London to become the first heterosexual couple in the UK to enter a civil partnership.

The bus smashed into a roadside barrier on a national highway and caught fire, Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA) reported.
It had been bringing the group of Chinese tourists to Taoyuan Airport to catch a flight back to Dalian.
Officials said there were 24 tourists on board plus a local guide and driver.
"The fire moved very fast. All 26 died," Lu Jui-yao, an official with the National Highway Police Bureau told Reuters.
Pictures from the scene showed thick black smoke and flames engulfing the bus.
The cause of the crash, shortly before 13:00 (05:00 GMT), was not immediately known. Taiwan authorities are still investigating.
Taiwanese cabinet spokesman Tung Chen-yuan said tourism government officials had reached out to their mainland counterparts and would arrange for relatives of the victims to come to Taiwan.
Brandywell is the home ground of Derry City Football Club.
Derry City FC Chairman Philip O'Doherty has blamed a council consultation project which has affected the start of the tendering process.
Work on a new pitch and dog track was due to begin at the end of October.
Mr O'Doherty said if work does not begin soon "it may be delayed until October 2016".
"Two weeks ago, Derry and Strabane Council received the final letter of offer, allowing work on the Brandywell project to begin," said Mr O'Doherty.
"We immediately met with council to request a programme of work so that we could discuss options with the FAI (Football Association of Ireland) to reschedule early home games in the 2016 season to later in the year to facilitate work on the pitch.
"Unfortunately, we have been informed that the tender process can't begin due to continued consultation on the project.
"We are concerned that should the work not begin this month, the start of this long overdue project would be delayed until October 2016 - a full 12 months.
"Derry City, other local football clubs, and the people of the Brandywell area, in particular, should not have to wait yet another year for this project to start."
He said the facility would be "highly beneficial to the community" due to the 3G pitch being able to be used almost continuously throughout the year.
Mr O'Doherty told BBC Radio Foyle that there are concerns that a one-year delay may result in some or all of the money being returned to Stormont.
"That would be disastrous," he said.
"Derry City FC will be left out of pocket if games are to be played, possibly in Ballybofey, with lower numbers attending our games. This will affect the budget for next season which will not help our challenging for European football.
"We are happy to pay the market price for use of this facility, along with the other users in the city, and we would urge council to start the work urgently."
A spokesperson for Derry City and Strabane District Council said: "Elected members of the Health and Community Committee unanimously agreed to defer a decision to progress with the tender for the football stadium and 3G element of the council-owned Brandywell and Daisyfield Masterplan project.
"This is to allow for further consultation with the greyhound fraternity on proposals to ensure a new greyhound track is included in the plan.
"The matter will now come before members at next months meeting for consideration and decision."
This is the most serious terrorist attack on London since the 7/7 bombings in 2005.
The police reacted extremely quickly, ending this attack before any more people were hurt. A friend of mine actually gave first aid to the stabbed policeman before the helicopter arrived.
This is very rare, although the Government has been warning for some time to expect something like this. The chances of any of you, as an individual, getting caught up in a terrorist attack are microscopically small.
If you are worried about anything you see in the news, there's help and advice here.
Adrian Lubecki, 19, from Ipswich, is charged with being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
Police believe the deaths of three men in Suffolk and a fourth man in Telford, Shropshire, could be linked to a dangerous batch of ecstasy.
Officers urged anyone in possession of the red triangular pills marked with the Superman "S" logo not to take them.
Mr Lubecki, of St Matthews Street, also faces a charge of possession with intent to supply a Class B drug.
He is due to appear at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Two other men arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs have been released on bail while police inquiries continue.
Two men from Ipswich who died have been named locally as Justas Ropas, 22, and Gediminas Kulokas, 24.
They died on Christmas Eve and New Year's Day.
The deaths of John Hocking, 20, from Rendlesham in Suffolk, and a 27-year-old from Telford, who both died on New Year's Day, have also been linked to the drug.
Mr Hocking's friend Jack Harrison, of Martlesham Heath, urged people to learn from his death as it had "hurt a lot of people".
He described how their group of friends had released lanterns into the sky in his memory on Friday.
"He had the biggest heart. He was a truly one-of-a-kind type of bloke - he carried an energy with him.
"It's a horrible situation which people have to deal with."
A fifth man, from Provan Court estate in Ipswich, who was reported as being unwell along with Mr Kulokas, was taken to hospital by air ambulance in a serious condition but is now recovering, police said.
Suffolk Police said a 37-year-old man was taken to Ipswich Hospital when he became "unwell" in the early hours of Sunday and told officers he had taken a "S" marked tablet.
The man, who lives in the town, has since been discharged from hospital.
He had initially been arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.
He said the final settlement should be approved by all four UK parliaments, "without revisiting the result".
Mr Jones will also contact police commissioners after non-British and ethnic minority people were reportedly abused over the weekend.
He blamed "the ugly atmosphere created by elements of the Leave campaign".
Mr Jones led a meeting of his cabinet in Cardiff Bay on Monday, the first since Thursday's referendum result in favour of Brexit.
He said the Welsh Government would use "every lever at our disposal" to protect jobs and communities.
The £500m-a-year grant aid to support Welsh farming was "one of the most immediate concerns", and Mr Jones said he had written to the prime minister asking him to confirm that "every penny of this funding is safe", as promised by the Leave camp.
He said there were hundreds of vital EU-funded projects across Wales whose future was "now in the balance" without a funding guarantee.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates would shortly announce measures designed to build confidence in business, the first minister added.
Mr Jones said cabinet members also condemned an "ugly atmosphere" leading to a series of "hateful incidents" over the weekend, against both foreigners and Welsh-born ethnic minorities.
"Such racism is completely unacceptable in Welsh society," the first minister said.
Meanwhile former Welsh Secretary David Jones - who led Vote Leave Cymru - urged Mr Jones to be "gracious in defeat" and ask the pro-Leave Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies to chair an advisory committee of AMs on Brexit negotiations.
The Welsh cabinet meeting took place against a background of Labour turmoil in Westminster.
Jeremy Corbyn faced a front bench revolt on Sunday and Monday as critics attacked his contribution to the Remain campaign.
Rhondda MP Chris Bryant was the first Welsh MP to resign from the opposition front bench in protest.
He was followed by others on Monday, including Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, Pontypridd MP Owen Smith, and the Shadow Welsh Secretary, Llanelli MP Nia Griffith.
Meanwhile, about 100 students marched to the steps of the Senedd in protest at the outcome of the EU referendum results.
Felix Millbank, head of Students for the EU, wants a second referendum and 16 and 17 year olds to be allowed to vote.
Members of the group will meet AMs Jane Hutt and Julie Morgan to discuss what the Welsh Government can do to reassure young people.
The group said it would protest every Monday outside the Senedd until they get a result that benefits them.
Plaid Cymru politicians have disagreed on whether they should work with Labour.
The row came after Plaid's leader Leanne Wood, another Remain campaigner, said she would not rule out a coalition Welsh Government with Labour, after the vote to leave the EU.
Ms Wood said: "We cannot allow Wales to be subsumed by England as the face of the UK changes.
"We now need to have a conversation as a nation, and all options, including independence, need to be considered as part of that conversation."
On Monday, Ms Wood proposed a new union of independent nations.
She said that "redesigning the current UK is the only option", adding: "Wales cannot afford to become a forgotten part of an 'England and Wales' entity."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies, a Leave campaigner, said the UK's Brexit deal may have to be put before the devolved legislatures.
Wales voted 52.5% for Leave, with 47.5% backing Remain.
Thousands of migrants who are camped in Calais are attempting to reach the UK by crossing the English Channel, the stretch of water that separates southern England from northern France.
Many of the people are trying to escape from countries affected by war such as Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea, and also North Africa.
Some try to jump onto lorries or hold on underneath trucks heading for the UK on ferries or on the Eurotunnel. Others jump or cut security fences to try to hide on Eurotunnel trains themselves.
Here's Newsround guide to the Calais migrant crisis.
French authorities predict there are about 3,000 people currently living in a makeshift camp near the port of Calais known as "the Jungle".
They have tried to make the camp as liveable as possible - building shelters, a school and a community canteen.
The British and the French authorities together prevented more than 39,000 attempts to cross the Channel illegally in 2014/15.
That's more than double the number prevented the previous year.
But the migrant crisis is not a new issue.
In 1999, the Sangatte refugee camp was opened in Calais, attracting thousands of people looking to reach the UK to live.
It eventually closed in 2002 by the French government but migrants have still continued to arrive in Calais since then.
The situation in Calais is part of a wider migration crisis in Europe - caused largely by people trying to escape from countries affected by war such as Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea and also North Africa.
Many want to claim asylum in the UK, which means legally moving to a new country for safety reasons.
These asylum-seekers say they are unable to return to their home country because they are scared about the treatment they will receive there.
The British Red Cross said most migrants wanted to make the move because they believed there was a better chance of finding work in the UK.
Some speak English and want to come to the UK to use the language.
Others have relatives in the UK, or believe that there is better housing and education available.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants also travel to Germany, Sweden, Italy, France, and Hungary.
The port of Calais is now protected by five metre high fences topped with coils of razor wire and CCTV, with the area guarded by heavily armed French riot police.
Last autumn the UK government promised to spend £12m over three years to help France tackle the problem.
The UK is also sending a fence, known as the "National Barrier Asset", to go up around the Eurotunnel station.
Eurotunnel has spent £9.2m on security in the first six months of 2015 alone, including money for fences, cameras, infra-red detectors and extra guards.
French police have been widely criticised for taking migrants off lorries, driving them a few miles away then releasing them - free to walk back to Calais.
The problem, police say, is that there are simply too many to arrest and deal with. They also say their focus on the motorway is safety, so getting people off the road is the priority.
An extra 120 French police have been sent to Calais to try to cope with the large numbers of migrants.
French authorities are also struggling to stop illegal migrants crossing its border from Italy, where more than 60,000 people are thought to have arrived by boat from Africa already this year.
The short answer is, no-one knows.
The government says it does not have official figures or estimates for the number of migrants who illegally cross the Channel.
There were 25,020 official applications for asylum in the year ending March 2015, but there is no way of knowing how many of those people travelled through the English port of Dover.
Operation Stack is an emergency operation used by Kent Police to park large lorries on the M20 motorway in Kent - turning it into a giant lorry park.
It has been used since 1996 whenever there is disruption to services between Dover and Calais, due to, for example, the migrant crisis or bad weather.
The motorway can remain closed for days at a time, with thousands of lorries heading for France sitting still, leading to severe traffic delays in areas of Kent.
Between 1996 and the end of 2007, Operation Stack was implemented 95 times for a total of 145 days.
Ken Munro of Pen Test Partners was thinking of upgrading his Aga when he found vulnerabilities in the apps used to control the newest models.
It means ovens could be turned on or off, though not in a way that makes the cookers dangerous.
Aga has said it has contacted the third party that provided the system.
"If you were maliciously motivated, it wouldn't be very difficult to switch off people's Aga's remotely," Mr Munro told the BBC.
His investigation concerned the "iTotal Control" (TC) system, which Aga has marketed since 2012.
Among the security issues he says he found is the fact that SMS messages - which are used by the system to turn the oven on or off - are not authenticated by the cooker.
Nor is the Sim card set up to send the messages validated on registration.
Mr Munro also criticised the fact that user registration for the service allows passwords as short as five characters - security experts usually recommend using as many characters as possible, with a minimum of eight.
Email addresses are sent in plain text via the system, too, he explained - meaning personal data could be vulnerable to snoopers.
He also said that attempts to contact Aga about the problems, including a tweet and emails on 3 April, fell on deaf ears.
When he did get through to someone and advised them to take the Total Control website down, he got a disappointing response.
"I asked to speak to relevant departments, they couldn't put me through," he said.
"Aga Rangemaster operates its Aga TC phone app via a third party service provider," Aga said in a statement.
"Security and account registration also involves our [machine to machine] provider.
"We take such issues seriously and have raised them immediately with our service providers so that we can answer in detail the points raised."
However, the firm did not comment on Mr Munro's claims that it ignored his disclosure of the problems.
"It's kind of unacceptable that some random person could just take control of your Aga," said Professor Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert at the University of Surrey.
"Will hackers try it? Who knows, but it just shouldn't be possible."
He added that he was surprised there seemed to be a flat response from the firm when Mr Munro tried to raise the issues.
"If somebody calls up, 'I found a problem with your system,' they should look at it," Prof Woodward told the BBC.
She left The Great British Bake Off last year after the show moved from the BBC to Channel 4.
Britain's Best Cook will air on BBC One and be presented by Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman.
Claudia said, "I am over the moon to be part of this show".
Ten contestants will compete in Britain's Best Cook, which will last for eight episodes.
It's thought that both new and more traditional recipes will be used on the programme.
Mary Berry says, "This series is going to encourage proper home cooking".
A second judge will join Mary but we don't know who that is yet.
A crowd of 66,014 in Miami on Saturday watched goals from Lionel Messi and Ivan Rakitic give Barca an early lead before Mateo Kovacic and Marco Asensio pulled Real level.
The spectators at the Hard Rock stadium were then treated to a prolonged half-time break with music, lights and fireworks more akin to the Super Bowl.
When the game eventually restarted, Gerard Pique steered in a Neymar free-kick to give last season's Copa del Rey winners victory over the reigning Spanish and European champions.
Brazil forward Neymar played for 72 minutes as speculation continues about a world record 220m euros (£197m) move to Paris St-Germain.
The 25-year-old was left clutching an ankle in the opening minutes of the game. However, he recovered to set up Rakitic after just seven minutes, before delivering a pin-point free-kick for Pique in the second half.
"I don't want to speculate about Neymar," said Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde after the match. "I always try to talk about things that happen rather than things that might happen.
"We are going to wait. From my perspective, we have Neymar in our team, we count on him and we have to see."
PSG full-back Dani Alves, a former Barcelona team-mate of Neymar, has urged his compatriot to "be brave" when making a choice about his future.
"It's an important decision for him and it's the kind of decision men have to make," said Alves.
"I helped him come to Barcelona. I did not make the decision for him, but I told him what Barcelona was like and he decided to move there. Decisions are for the brave.
"Obviously if he were here that would be much better. It's a decision you have to make carefully - but you have to be selfish."
While Barcelona had already beaten Manchester United and Juventus in the International Champions Cup, Real had failed to win a game in the friendly competition.
A penalty shootout defeat by United was followed by a 4-1 loss to Manchester City in Los Angeles.
However, Zinedine Zidane insists his side will be ready for the Super Cup meeting with United in Skopje in just over a week.
"This is pre-season and this doesn't alter anything. The important thing is to be ready for August 8," said the Frenchman.
"I saw some good things, but also some things I didn't like. I'm not bothered by the defeat. We don't like to lose but that's not the most important thing."
Sean O'Loughlin and Morgan Escare converted tries gave Wigan a narrow advantage, with Scott Grix and Ben Jones-Bishop scoring in reply.
Only Liam Finn's missed goals had kept Trinity off the lead, and they dug in during a hard-fought second period.
Both sides had chances chalked off before Marshall settled the encounter.
The double-header Easter period has previously delivered big scorelines, most notably last season when Wakefield won 62-0 in this fixture, as tiring teams battle with going back to back.
This game lacked the blow-out scoreline but did have some of the hallmarks of fatigue with errors, knock-ons and penalties punctuated by moments of skill.
Wigan, who recorded a morale-boosting derby win against Saints on Good Friday, made a flying start when O'Loughlin bashed his way over on the back of a Taulima Tautai raid.
Grix tracked a fine Ashley Gibson kick to bring Trinity within two, before call-and-response tries - by Escare from a George Williams pass and by Jones-Bishop's with a spectacular aerial leap - completed the first period scoring.
It looked as though the second half would remain locked in a point-free arm-wrestle thanks to the defensive mettle of both teams, before Marshall's late intervention from a basketball pass by the impressive Williams.
Wakefield head coach Chris Chester: "I thought we deserved something out of it. They were two evenly-matched sides and to not come away with anything is disappointing.
"The effort was fantastic, we just lacked any real patience down their end. If we had executed better, we may well have got something out of it. It was just the final pass and there were four or five penalties in the second half that really hurt us. We had to do it tough, as well, losing a couple of bodies early doors, we ran out of fit blokes at the end but there are lots to be pleased about.
"I thought we were really physical and defended very well. If we keep playing like that, we will win more than we lose. There were some really good efforts out there, unfortunately we just came up short."
Wigan head coach Shaun Wane: "It was a tough one last year in different circumstances and I'm glad to get back here and put things right a little bit, although we were way off to be honest.
"We had 50 per cent completion in the first half and there is no way you can a win game like that but we fixed it up in the second half.
"This is a hard place to come and they put us under pressure but we showed plenty of toughness to defend our line."

Devon and Cornwall Police said DNA analysis confirmed "the skeletal remains are that of missing Lee Gilbert".
A dog walker found the foot inside a walking boot in Nansavallan Woods, Truro, last month.
Mr Gilbert, 39, from Penryn, was last seen at the town's train station on 9 June.

Police found further remains and personal belongings following a search of the area in October.
A police statement said: "Next of kin have been advised and a post-mortem on the remains is being arranged."
Wagg is the only survivor from Glamorgan's eight-wicket victory over Kent at Canterbury.
"It'll be interesting to see whether they've improved the quality of the ball since then" said Wagg.
The trial is designed to give England players practice for a Test match.
The game against the West Indies at Edgbaston in August is a first for the UK, with the pink ball intended to be more visible than a red one during the evening session under flood-lights.
Cardiff's SSE Swalec Stadium will be one of nine venues hosting a first-ever full round of Championship games starting at 14:00 BST.
The one-off match against Kent in September 2011 is the only previous Championship game to have been staged as a day-night affair, with the time of year making conditions unpleasant for a very sparse crowd.
"The balls are different, it's going to be different and I can see the reasons why the ECB is trying it out," Wagg told BBC Wales Sport.
The 34 year-old all-rounder, who joined Glamorgan from Derbyshire, claimed five wickets in the previous four-day match under lights.
"The ball itself wasn't great, they do swing to start with but it's almost a sort of paint on the ball rather than leather, whether that's improved since 2011 I don't know," he said.
"It was horrible and cold at that time of year, and there was no atmosphere, but hopefully people will come along and support us."
Glamorgan chief executive Hugh Morris believes the novelty will boost the profile of the Championship.
"It makes the game more accessible to the public by allowing supporters to watch their team after work or school, and experience something new and exciting" he said.
They also say two top-flight English clubs have joined West Ham United in making enquiries about 20-year-old left-back Stephen Hendrie.
Accies on Thursday revealed that a £2m transfer to Upton Park had collapsed.
Meanwhile, defender Michael Devlin, 21, has signed a three-year contract extension to remain with Hamilton.
The news came as Accies revealed that defender Martin Canning had been appointed player-manager after a short spell as caretaker, with Chris Swailes joining as assistant and another former Hamilton player, Guillaume Beuzelin, as head coach.
But Accies vice-chairman Ronnie MacDonald refused to comment on a reported offer for 26-year-old Falkirk striker Rory Loy.
Loy, who began his career with Rangers, has been with the Scottish Championship club since 2013 after leaving Carlisle United.
MacDonald did reveal that a Chinese club had been in touch about 26-year-old midfielder Tony Andreu but that nothing had come of that interest.
Frenchman Andreu joined Accies in 2013 having previously been with Stade Nyonnais and Livingston.
The 21-year-old Gordon, along with Hendrie and Devlin, is a product of the New Douglas Park youth system.
As well as prize money of €30,000 (£22,000. $33,600), this opens the way to performances in some of the world's best-known concert halls.
The competition, held every five years, is one of the few in which pianists play pieces by a single composer.
It has been a launching pad for many internationally-renowned pianists.
Canadian Charles Richard-Hamelin won the second prize, and third place went to Kate Liu of the United States.
"It became my dream to participate in the competition and I cannot believe this moment," said Seong-Jin Cho after the results were announced.
"In the first round I was out of control,'' he said. `"I didn't remember how I played so I checked on YouTube."
But by his final performance of Chopin's Piano Concerto in E minor, Opus 11, he said he was "not so nervous".
The Paris Conservatoire student also won a €3,000 prize for the best performance of a Chopin polonaise.
The competition has been running for 88 years. Previous winners include Maurizio Pollini, Krystian Zimerman and Martha Argerich, who was a judge at this year's competition.
In the Chopin competition in 2010, the prize went to Russia's Yulianna Avdeeva.
In this year's competition, some 78 young pianists took part from 20 different countries.
The contestants spent three weeks playing works by Polish composer Frederic Chopin in a series of concerts.
About 1,000 police were deployed to keep supporters apart from left-wing protesters, who blocked roads, burned tyres and threw firecrackers.
About 400 protesters were temporarily detained as the conference began.
Delegates are due to vote on Sunday on a manifesto which some members want to endorse an openly anti-Islamic stance.

One demonstrator, Dominik Schmeiser, said: "We are united by our conviction that we cannot let the AfD go unchallenged, and that it is a party which is not only racist, but which is engaged in the politics of exclusion and social division.
"We will not allow ourselves to be divided and we stand together for a compassionate society."
Despite the protest, the conference began as planned.
The party's leader Frauke Petry attacked the German chancellor Angela Merkel, saying the "silent majority" thought she was "nothing but naked".
She said the AfD wanted to make a big impact in German politics.
"In the future we do not want to remain sitting in parliament as a junior partner, a small opposition party," Ms Petry said.
The AfD achieved gains in all three states taking part in regional elections last month, claiming almost a quarter of the vote in the relatively poor eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt.
It had campaigned against what it called Mrs Merkel's "catastrophic" decision to accept a million migrants and refugees in 2015.
In Saturday's conference, the party must agree a manifesto ahead of next year's general election.
Proposals include withdrawal from the euro and the reintroduction of conscription, but there are splits within the party, including between its less hardline wing and the leadership.
Before the meeting, police encircled groups of demonstrators in a technique known as kettling. Some protesters were seen being dragged away, as others chanted "Shame on you" at officers. | Police in the northern French town of Roubaix have dismantled a Roma (Gypsy) camp, days after the interior minister said most Roma should be expelled.

That was below the 217,000 predicted by analysts, although the Labor Department said that figures for August tend to be revised higher subsequently.
The unemployment rate fell to 5.1% - down from the July figure of 5.3%.
The rate is the lowest since April 2008.
Wall Street headed lower following the numbers.
European stock markets, which had been trading lower before the data was released, extended their losses, with the FTSE 100 in London closing down by 2.44% and indexes in Paris and Frankfurt dropping by 2.81% and 2.71% respectively.
There were upward revisions to the number of jobs created in the previous two months, which added another 44,000 jobs. The revised figure for July was 245,000 jobs.
The weaker-than-expected August number could make Fed officials think twice about increasing rates when they meet on 16-17 September.
On Twitter, BBC economics editor Robert Peston said it was "inconceivable" that the Fed would now raise rates this month given the jobs data and slowdown in emerging markets such as China.
Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics, said the report was "fairly mixed and can be used to make a case for or against a rate hike", adding: "The September meeting is a 50-50 toss-up."
Rob Carnell at ING bank said: "We don't think it is sufficiently strong enough for the Fed to proceed with a September rate hike without markets worrying that the data is not good enough to support it."
Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said: "The most likely scenario is one where the Fed waits a little longer in the light of recent economic and financial market instability, instead merely testing financial market reactions with rhetoric that a rate rise is increasingly imminent."
For financial markets the big question about the jobs report is how it will affect the Fed's decision on whether to raise interest rates later this month.
The low headline unemployment rate and the rise in earnings help keep the possibility alive.
But the number of new jobs was below expectations and a wider measure of "labour underutilisation" - which includes people not looking for work and part-timers who want longer hours - is relatively high.
Then there is all the recent global financial market volatility. A rate rise this month is far from certain.
One of the officials who will help make that decision said earlier on Friday that the US labour market had recovered sufficiently to warrant raising rates soon.
Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, who had called for a rate increase in June, said the US economy no longer needed rates to be so low.
He said after the numbers were released that he would going into the rate meeting "with an open mind".
Belgian police have arrested a suspect after a masked gunman tried to crash his car through the gates of the army barracks.
The man drove off after the attempted attack, during which Belgian soldiers fired shots. No-one was hurt.
The attack happened in Flawinne, south-east of Brussels.
"For the moment there are no elements which would allow us to say we are facing a terrorist examination," a spokesman for prosecutors in Namur told a press conference.
"The theory of an isolated incident or one of a psychologically unstable person cannot be ruled out," he said.
The car was found abandoned nearby.
Belgian officials say the attacker's identity is known.
"There is nothing to suggest there are others involved," local prosecutor Vincent Macq was quoted as saying.
Earlier an official described the attack on a barracks as "incomprehensible" because "there are plenty of weapons there to strike back".
Pictures from the scene showed a bomb disposal team called to examine the abandoned car.
Local reports initially said the car was carrying a suspected explosive device, but no explosives were found in the car.
A nearby police academy was evacuated, according to local media reports.
In January, Belgian police killed two men in a major counter-terrorism raid, just a week after the deadly Charlie Hebdo attack by gunmen in the French capital Paris.

"Hopefully, we can identify the hot player like Ryan, just after the BMW," Furyk said.
"We want to get it done a little earlier and not put those guys through that again.
"I think it's wise, as well, for the captains to be discussing parings in that the night before we leave, rather than who our next captain's pick is going to be.''
James Brady, Andrew Rossig and Marko Markovich jumped off the tallest US building in 2013, when it was still under construction.
But their lawyers fought the serious charge of felony burglary by persuading the jury they did not intend to commit another crime on the premises.
It caused embarrassment to authorities.
Officials were put on the defensive by the security breach, which came days after a teenager had also gained access.
The jury in state Supreme Court in Manhattan reached the verdicts against 33-year-old Brady, 34-year-old Rossig and 28-year-old Markovich after deliberating for four days.
Defence lawyers said the legal definition of burglary - being in a building illegally with the intention of committing another crime - had not been met.
"We always felt that the felony did not apply, and the jury agreed," said Markovich's lawyer, Joseph Corozzo.
Another lawyer, Andrew Mancilla, called the verdict "a huge relief". But he added: "It's just a shame so much of the taxpayers' money had to be wasted."
But Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said the jump had been "reckless and illegal" and the trio "took pride in their perceived accomplishment, and seemed to relish evasion of authorities".
All three will be sentenced in August. They could be jailed for up to a year.
Konta, 26, is the fourth British woman to break into the top five, following her run to the Wimbledon semi-finals.
She matches the achievement of Virginia Wade, Sue Barker and Jo Durie, the last British woman in the top five in 1984.
Murray, 30, lost in the Wimbledon quarter-finals but retains top spot ahead of Rafael Nadal.
The Spaniard could overtake Murray at the pair's next tournament, the men's Rogers Cup in Montreal, which begins on 7 August.
However, the Scot's Wimbledon campaign was hampered by a hip injury and he has yet to confirm whether the recovery process will alter his plans for the rest of 2017.

Konta further established her credentials as a Grand Slam title contender by reaching her second major semi-final at Wimbledon, and she now heads to the United States and her best surface - hard courts.
The British number one is next due on court at the women's Rogers Cup, which starts in Toronto on 7 August, having chosen not to defend her title at the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford, California.
Konta beat Venus Williams to win her first WTA title in Stanford last year, and could suffer a dip in her ranking as a result.
The world rankings work on a 52-week rolling system, which means success in one year can mean pressure 12 months later as those points are defended.
Konta enjoyed a strong second half to 2016, narrowly missing out on a place at the WTA Finals for the top eight players, and that will be a major goal in the months to come.
Another tilt at a Grand Slam title will begin on 28 August at the US Open, where Konta has reached the fourth round for the past two years.
Konta will pick up her racquet and get back on the practice court having finished Wimbledon at the top of the aces charts and fourth for first-serve returns.
But, while the foundations of her game are strong, Williams exposed some areas for improvement in their semi-final.
"Jo's got a great game," said former British number one Sam Smith.
"She's an excellent athlete and mentally she's a top, top player. If I know anything about Jo, she is going to learn so much from that match against Venus, and apply it."
Konta failed to break into the top 100 in the early years of her career, with a fragile mentality and unreliable forehand two of the major factors.
Her work with both mental and tennis coaches in recent years has proved remarkably effective, and she held up under huge pressure as her Wimbledon run garnered nationwide attention.
Konta's forehand stood up well during tense three-set wins over Donna Vekic, Caroline Garcia and Simona Halep, before Williams broke it down and drew 16 errors in the semi-final.
It was notable both Williams and Garbine Muguruza also struggled with their forehands at key moments in the final, but the Spaniard managed to cut the errors from six in the first set to one in the second.
Williams also dismantled the Konta second serve, making her intentions clear from the opening moments when she stood inside the baseline and dispatched a second-serve return, while the Briton missed service returns at key times in both her semi and quarter-finals.
"Jo didn't use the body serve enough and she can improve her second serve," said Martina Navratilova, a nine-time Wimbledon singles champion.
"She can use her hand more and make that ball jump. She's tall enough and got a nice motion that I think she doesn't take full advantage of.
"But that forehand has got to be more steady, although she's improved it, and the transition game, moving to the net.
"Also the backhand slice, she doesn't use it at all. Her backhand is fantastic but the slice would give it more variety and put the opponent off balance."

Murray's future is far less certain as we await an update on his injured hip and the rehabilitation plan.
The Briton limped his way through four rounds at Wimbledon before it became "a little bit too sore", and Sam Querrey proved too strong, in their quarter-final.
"Murray and his team have obviously been trying to manage something," said former world number one John McEnroe.
"We don't know exactly what it is, how serious it is, and how much time he'll take off remains to be seen.
"He clearly wasn't moving well, he couldn't push off and lost a lot of speed on his serve."
A team meeting was planned for last Thursday, and a plan of action is expected after consultation with doctors.
Asked whether he would have attempted to play had it been anywhere but Wimbledon, Murray said: "I was in good enough shape to go very deep in the tournament and almost managed to get through to the semi-finals.
"Any Slam, I would have taken that with how I was feeling before the tournament started. I would have been out there for a Slam."
Murray refused to be drawn on the specific nature of the injury beyond confirming he has dealt with it since his early 20s, and "wear and tear" made it an ongoing issue.
The recovery plan could mean anything from a few weeks' rest and physiotherapy, to a much longer lay-off or even surgery.
"I'd say the US Open would be 50/50 at a guess," Giles Stafford, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon specialising in sports-related hip disorders, told the Press Association.
Murray, then aged 26, ended his 2013 season in September to have back surgery and returned at the start of 2014, but spent the year climbing back up the rankings as he rebuilt his form and confidence.
He is next scheduled to play in Montreal in three weeks' time, followed by the Cincinnati Masters the following week and, after a week off, the US Open.
Murray could lose his number one status to Nadal should he skip Montreal but, after eight months in top spot, the ranking is not his priority.
"I haven't played well enough this year to deserve to stay there for much longer," he said.
"If it doesn't happen by the end of Wimbledon, it will happen by the end of the US Open."
If and when he does return this year, Murray will head into the latter stages of the season with a 25-10 record, as opposed to 41-6 after Wimbledon last year.

Tesco v Unilever live updates
Retailers warn over Brexit price rises
Unilever and Tesco at loggerheads
What do we know about Brexit?
'Marmitegate' explained
Unilever is the UK's biggest food and grocery manufacturer, but many of its products are made outside the UK, so it argues it should be getting more pounds for its products.
Graeme Pitkethly, Unilever's chief financial officer, said the price rises had "landed" with other customers, implying other retailers had accepted the higher prices.
Major supermarket chains including Sainburys, Morrisons and Waitrose declined to comment on specific supplier relationships.
A spokesperson for Lidl said: "Whilst we do not discuss buying prices, we can always assure our customers that we will offer them the best quality products at the lowest retail prices."
The Food and Drink Federation on Tuesday published the results of a survey which found serious concerns and decreased confidence in the sector.
Some 75% of respondents reported seeing an increase in the price of ingredients or raw materials used in their products since the referendum vote.
Ian Wright, director general of the Food and Drink Federation, said: "Food and drink industry confidence is low. Slower revenue growth, coupled with prolonged business uncertainty, is affecting the industry's ability to invest."
Negotiations over price between retailers and their suppliers are a constant feature of the industry, but those discussions rarely lead to a public argument and product de-listing.
"Clearly the scale of the negotiation is much bigger than usual, but so is the event. Brexit-sized events are rare," said Bruno Monteyne, an analyst at Bernstein.
"This is such a large event that it may simply be that the two gorillas on both sides have decided to go through the motions of the negotiation on behalf of the industry. This isn't about Tesco or Unilever but about all UK retailers and suppliers."
On Thursday Unilever released a trading update for the third quarter, which showed a growth in underlying sales of 3.2%.
Unilever said that conditions in European markets remained "challenging".
Unilever shares fell 2.5% and Tesco was more than 2% lower.
Who should absorb the increase in costs as a result of the weaker pound? It's the question that retailers have consistently been asked these last few months as import prices start to rise.
Now that debate has exploded into the open with a stand-off between Britain's biggest consumer goods company and its largest retailer, Tesco.
Household staples, from Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Pot Noodles to Persil and Dove soap, are at stake. The extra spice to this story is that Tesco's boss, Dave Lewis, spent most of his career at Unilever before being poached by Tesco.
In the cut-throat world of grocery shopping, retailers are reluctant to pass on price rises to shoppers. But many suppliers are already seeing input costs rise because of the fall in the pound, although many will also have hedged their currency positions until at least the start of next year. So who ultimately takes the hit?
One grocery insider says in the case of Unilever, the weak currency was a smokescreen to raise prices, as some of the products are made in the UK.
Whatever the truth, this relationship is too important for the two sides not to reach a deal in the end. Will the other big grocers follow suit?
The former head of rival firm Northern Foods, Lord Haskins, told the BBC's Newsnight that Brexit had caused "a huge wobble" in the market, which was already suffering tensions because of the rise of online shopping and discount supermarkets Aldi and Lidl.
"Undoubtedly what Unilever is doing is justified in terms of the economics of it, but Tesco's worried that Aldi may not follow suit," he said.
"They will have to follow suit, because the costs as a result of devaluation are too big for any company to carry."
Lord Haskins, who wanted the UK to remain in the EU, forecast that food price inflation would hit 5% in about a year's time.
He added: "The moment the great British public realises that there's a real cost to pay for Brexit, then the government will have to take account of that."
Sterling has dropped by 16% against the euro since the UK's Brexit vote.
Leading retail analyst Richard Hyman told the BBC: "The problem is that retailers can't just put up their prices and get away with it.
"Oversupply of retailers means that for the past 24 months there has been food price deflation. What makes them think they can just push prices higher?" he added.
The handful of chances created by the home side were spurned but mostly they were frustrated by the visitors.
Captain Scott Brown returned to the starting XI and was typically dynamic until a late knock left him hobbling.
Celtic rarely fail to score and Kilmarnock rarely keep clean sheets but expectations were overturned.
With Hearts also drawing at home, Ronny Deila's men remain six points clear at the top but that will be reduced to five if Aberdeen win at Hamilton on Sunday.
The nature of the game was evident quickly. In the opening spell, Kilmarnock were deep, narrow and rigidly organised, while there were outbreaks of desperation in defence.
Stoutness was a defining characteristic and the tone was set by the captain Mark Connolly.
The defender was playing his first game since suffering an injury in August but he was alert, strong and grimly determined. In the space of only a matter of seconds, he blocked shots by Stuart Armstrong and James Forrest.
That kind of defiance was Kilmarnock's main purpose, since it was the most likely way that they could dispirit Celtic.
The home side were seldom perturbed, though, since they routinely spent long spells in their opponents' half and must have constantly been reassured that the sheer weight of pressure would eventually tell.
The visitors' full-backs Mark O'Hara and Kevin McHattie could not enjoy a moment's respite but they never wavered.
O'Hara saw off Armstrong and then was similarly capable with his replacement, Gary Mackay-Steven. McHattie had the more difficult task, since Forrest was in the kind of mood to bewilder his marker with a drop of the shoulder or a shuffle of his quick feet.
Nonetheless, Celtic did enough to threaten but found the finishing touch was out of reach.
It was typical of Leigh Griffiths' afternoon that an errant touch took the Celtic striker away from goal after darting clear of the Kilmarnock defenders. Later in the first half, he controlled a through ball brilliantly but, from between the two centre backs and at close range, he tamely stabbed the ball straight at Jamie MacDonald.
While Kilmarnock snapped into tackles and were so set on an aggressive tone that flash points inevitably arose, Celtic remained adrift from their decisive nature.
With so many opposition players behind the ball, the league leaders had to probe patiently but alertness was often missing and Griffiths finished weakly again when the ball broke to him just inside the penalty area.
Kilmarnock, who earned a 2-2 draw at home to Celtic in August, tried to stretch play through Josh Magennis and Kallum Higginbotham, who were persistent in their endeavour, but even that waned after the break as the hosts dominated possession.
MacDonald saved smartly from a Griffiths free-kick at the beginning of the first-half and then tipped a thunderous Dedryck Boyata header onto the face of the bar in the closing moments.
In between, Celtic felt they might have had penalties when Brown and Mackay-Steven went down but referee Bobby Madden was unmoved.
In truth, the hosts' play lacked the tempo or the guile to create clear chances and the desperation to score almost cost them at the end.
Craig Gordon had to dive to his left to save from Greg Kiltie and then Tope Obadeyi.
As if to subdue Celtic further, Brown also seemed to injure himself in a challenge and finished the game being unable to run.

Stephen Goodwin, 51, of St Saviours Road, St Helier, Jersey, illicitly transferred the money between 2006 and 2011 through several jurisdictions, including the UK and Jersey.
He had pleaded guilty to several counts relating to money trafficking and tax evasion at Jersey's Royal Court.
He was also fined £2,000 and had assets of £214,237 confiscated on Thursday.
Goodwin was sentenced for two counts of income tax fraud, one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice and a fourth count of converting, transferring or removing proceeds of drug trafficking from the jurisdiction.
A spokeswoman for States of Jersey Police said: "He deliberately sought to remain under the radar, in terms of declared earnings to government departments, and evade any suspicious activity that is reported through the banking mechanisms."
Police said "cash packages" were intercepted in 2011 by Jersey Customs and Immigration Services which led to an investigation being launched through the Joint Financial Crimes Unit.
He is widely regarded as the inventor of email, and is credited with putting the now iconic "@" sign in the addresses of the revolutionary system.
He could never have imagined the multitude of ways email would come to be used, abused and confused.
Just think - right now, someone, somewhere is writing an email she should probably reconsider. Count to 10, my friend. Sleep on it.
Another is sending an email containing brutal, heartbreaking words that, really, should be said in person… if only he had the nerve.
And of course, a Nigerian prince is considering how best to ask for my help in spending his fortune.
Email does curious things to us. We worry about getting emails, we worry about not getting emails.
Before joining the BBC, I'd live by the popular freelancer's mantra that a watched inbox never fills, so I'd go for a walk in the hope of returning to offers of work.
Now I'm desperate for "inbox zero".
Email became part of everyday life so quickly we didn't have enough time to learn how to properly use it - until there was no turning back, and bad habits were set in stone.
To make things worse, the Blackberry brought email away from our computers and into our palms - and therefore our bedrooms, our commutes and our toilet breaks.
In doing so, we willingly let email seep into our lives, instigating an anxiety we'd not yet encountered. One study in 2014 took email away from 13 US government workers. The result? Their average heart-rates decreased.
And that's because for anyone with any kind of office job, the temptation - or perhaps pressure - to be on top of your emails can be overwhelming.
In France, there have even been calls to enforce some kind of "digital work hour" restriction, because checking your email after work is, after all, free labour.
Below is an extract from Ray Tomlinson's account of how he created email:
I am frequently asked why I chose the at sign, but the at sign just makes sense.
The purpose of the at sign (in English) was to indicate a unit price (for example, 10 items @ $1.95). I used the at sign to indicate that the user was "at" some other host rather than being local.
The first message was sent between two machines that were literally side by side. The only physical connection they had (aside from the floor they sat on) was through the Arpanet.
I sent a number of test messages to myself from one machine to the other. The test messages were entirely forgettable and I have, therefore, forgotten them.
Most likely the first message was QWERTYUIOP or something similar. When I was satisfied that the program seemed to work, I sent a message to the rest of my group explaining how to send messages over the network.
The first use of network email announced its own existence.
Yet, for all its faults, we've still not found anything better.
Which is why, as the technology world mourns the loss of Ray Tomlinson, it's only right to spend a moment to appreciate what a remarkable contribution he made to the business of communication.
He's credited as sending the first email as we know it today - and commandeering the @ symbol as a way to simplify how it works.
The first messages were sent between computers that were a mere 10 feet apart, but the feat was enormous.
For something so groundbreaking, it was adorably anti-climactic. Just read how he described it during an interview in 2009.
"Every time you test you have to generate some sort of message.
"You might drag your fingers across the keyboard or just type the opening phrase from Lincoln's Gettysburg address or something else - so technically the first email is completely forgettable and therefore forgotten."
In the following decades, the @ sign has gone from being a barely-used character to one we use multiple times a day. As NPR put it, Mr Tomlinson changed @ from a symbol into an icon.
Yes there's spam. Yes there's phishing attacks. Yes there's work mailing lists that ding constantly, or "reply all" fiascos.
But email itself has never been the problem, just the people that use it.
That said, one hopes email is replaced one day. It's widely accepted that it's not an efficient communication method, and disrupts the focus of anyone trying to get things done.
But what could possibly come next?
In the past year we've seen companies like Slack try and reinvent workplace communication, but while such tools are great for chatting internally, it does little to improve talking to those who work outside of your company.
In its quest for world domination, Facebook has long wanted us to ditch using email and instead shift over to using the Facebook inbox.
But I don't know about you, my Facebook inbox is one of the few safe spaces I have on the internet: an area where work does not overflow into my personal life. I'd like to keep it that way.
Soon, we're expecting Facebook will expand its Facebook At Work service, offering it to all businesses around the world. It's being trialled by a selection of firms, including the likes of RBS and Heineken. The idea is that communication tools we're all familiar with when talking to our friends can surely help us chat at work. Minus the cat videos.
If Facebook provides a way to separate work life from personal life, then great. Like Slack, it seems to work best when talking to people you already work with. If the rest of it just becomes a place to send and receive messages in chronological order... that's just an email inbox in disguise.
And we're back to where Ray Tomlinson started in 1971. 1971! This is an industry that moves quicker than any other, where start-ups come and go in a matter of weeks.
And yet Mr Tomlinson's innovation has endured for 45 years - and shows no sign of going anywhere yet.

They were among 20 people held a week ago in city of Ordos, Inner Mongolia. The other 11 were deported earlier.
Their tour arrived from the region of Xinjiang where China complains Muslims are being radicalised by jihadi clips.
A charity linked to the group said they may have viewed "devotional" films.
The others being deported are three South Africans and an Indian national. The 11 members of the group who were earlier released from a detention centre and deported were made up of six Britons and five South Africans.
The tour group, most of whom were Muslim and included doctors, businesspeople and elderly couples, were detained on 10 July.
Police have not outlined details of the case but state media reported the claim about the videos being watched.
BBC China editor Carrie Gracie said the charity with links to the group said they may have been viewing films as part of their prayer activities.
The South Africa-based Gift of the Givers Foundation, disaster relief organisation, previously said it had been contacted by relatives of some of the group asking for help although it was not involved in the organisation of the visit.
The foundation said the group were on a 47-day tour to explore the sites of ancient China and were taken into custody 30 days into their excursion.
In a statement on its Facebook page it said the tour went "horribly wrong" when the party was arrested at Ordos Airport last Friday.
"They were detained without charge with no access to any communication nor to legal representation.
"The Chinese, now trying to find reasons for the detention, suggested that some members were linked to a terror group, to a banned organisation, to watching propaganda videos in their hotel room."
A spokesman for the South African government quoted by Reuters said the last of its five detained nationals would leave China on Saturday. He said the Chinese authorities had not indicated why the group was held.
South Africa's foreign affairs minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said South Africa's Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa had been in the country on an official visit and took up the case with his Chinese counterparts.
The UK Foreign Office earlier said it had "requested an explanation from the Chinese authorities about the reasons for detaining these individuals".
Responding to the latest reports, a Foreign Office spokesman confirmed that officials had been informed that the three British nationals were to be deported.
He added: "Our consular staff have visited the group and have received assurances from the Chinese government about their health and treatment.
"We are in regular contact with the Chinese authorities both in Ordos and Beijing."
World player of the year Lloyd played in Georgia Stanway in the first half, but she was denied by Mary Earps' save.
Earps thwarted Stanway from the penalty spot after the break following a foul on England full-back Lucy Bronze.
City dominated throughout, with Nikita Parris and Jane Ross both denied by Earps, before Bronze headed in from Melissa Lawley's free-kick late on.
Jill Scott came close to doubling the lead soon after, but Earps was able to keep out her low strike.
United States international Lloyd, who joined City on a short-term deal in February, had the ball in the net in the first half, but the whistle had been blown for offside several seconds earlier.
The 34-year-old has joined the defending Women's Super League champions for the Spring Series, which starts in April and ends in June, with her contract also covering City's FA Cup and Champions League campaigns.
Manchester City: Bardsley, Houghton, McManus, Bronze, Walsh, Stokes, Scott, Lloyd, Parris (Asllani 73), Stanway (Ross 66), Lawley.

States members agreed to a further three months of talks before any legal action is taken to resolve the three-and-a-half year long dispute.
It follows a protest march by about a thousand States employees against legal action without further negotiation.
Deputy Chief Minister Allister Langlois said after such a long time a solution was needed one way or another.
He said: "The Policy Council is aware of two strongly competing views - firstly, the need to bring this long-running issue to an end, and secondly, the overriding preference of everyone to reach a solution acceptable to both parties.
"The preference has always been for an agreement but in three and a half years of effort that has not proved possible."
Deputy Langlois suggested holding off on any legal action at the request of the Association of States Employees' Organisations in a bid to reach an agreement.
The States approved this change, but agreed if no deal could be reached by the end of July then court action would follow.
The city council said 10 stands that were used near Commonwealth Game venues last year would now become permanent, bringing the city-wide total to 41.
The new stands will be sited mainly in the east and south of the city.
From its launch on 24 June 2014 until 1 March this year, there were 48,594 bike rentals with 6,522 registrations to use the scheme, which is run by Nextbike.
Monitoring of usage showed that the most popular cycle station has been Glasgow Green, closely followed by Broomielaw and Glasgow University.
The data also showed a high usage rate from Monday to Friday with a consistent drop off at weekends, suggesting the bikes are being used for commuting.
Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson said: "The fact that we are fast approaching 50,000 hires since its launch in nine months is fantastic.
"People of Glasgow and surrounding areas have clearly taken this scheme to their hearts from the extremely positive feedback and numerous requests we have received to provide more stations around the city.
"Two of our (Commonwealth Games) legacy aims were to make the city more sustainable and accessible and this scheme fits the bill."
Shares in Glencore dived 29.4% to 68.6p, with a gloomy note from Investec being blamed for the steep fall.
The note said heavily indebted firms such as Glencore and Anglo American could see "almost all equity value eliminated" given low commodity prices.
The FTSE 100 dropped 150.15 points, or 2.5%, to 5,958.86.
Other mining shares were also hit, with Anglo American down 10.1%, BHP Billiton 6% lower, and Rio Tinto falling 4.8%.
Vodafone shares fell 3.8% after it announced it had scrapped talks with Liberty Global over an asset swap.
Speculation over the next moves for Liberty Global sent shares in ITV - in which Liberty Global increased its stake earlier this year - up 0.9%.
Brewing giant SABMiller rose 1.3% after a report in the Sunday Times said Anheuser-Busch InBev could bid about $106bn for the firm.
AB InBev said earlier this month that it had made a takeover approach for SABMiller, raising the prospect of a tie-up between the world's two largest beer companies.
Among the smaller stocks, shares in Speedy Hire dived 15.5% after it issued a profit warning.
The tool, equipment and plant hire services firm said it had made a "disappointing start" to the current financial year, and profits were set to be "materially below current market expectations".
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.18% against the dollar to $1.5208, but fell 0.16% against the euro to €1.3536.
But he faces strong competition from grime artists Stormzy and J Hus and rapper Loyle Carner, who each receive nominations for their debut albums.
Their nominations come a year after Skepta took home the £25,000 prize, beating bookies' favourite David Bowie.
Former winners The xx and Alt-J also make the 12-strong shortlist.
Sheeran's nomination stands out because the Mercury Prize rarely recognises mainstream pop.
In recent years the likes of Adele's 25 and Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour have been overlooked, as the prize seeks to champion new and underappreciated music.
Yet Sheeran's domination of the charts would have been hard to ignore. When it was released, all 16 of Divide's songs made the Top 40.
The album has sold 2.06 million copies in the UK, making it the year's biggest-seller.
The full list of nominees is:

The shortlist was chosen by a panel of judges that includes Marcus Mumford, Jessie Ware, Radio 1's Clara Amfo and jazz musician Jamie Cullum.
Among their selections are two albums that tell short stories about fictional characters.
On Let Them Eat Chaos, poet Kate Tempest portrays the lives of seven sleepless citizens on one South London street.
In How To Be A Human Being, meanwhile, Oxford band Glass Animals turn their eye to America with lyrics loosely inspired by people they met on tour.
Many of the other nominees have written about family, with Stormzy and J Hus both dedicating songs to their mothers.
Sheeran, meanwhile, closes his album with the touching ballad Supermarket Flowers, which reflects on the death of his grandmother and its effect on his family.
Notable omissions from this year's shortlist include Rag 'N' Bone Man's Human, Wiley's Godfather and Marika Hackman's I'm Not Your Man.
Three-time nominee Laura Marling was also overlooked, despite rave reviews for her latest album Semper Femina.
The winner will be announced at a gala concert at London's Eventim Apollo on 14 September.
A controversial scheme, which saw six of the nominated albums "eliminated" at the start of last year's ceremony, has been ditched for 2017.

The 24-year-old shop assistant, Lassana Bathily, who is Muslim, explained how he had shepherded fleeing customers into a basement cold store.
He told them to stay quiet and calm before escaping to alert police.
Mr Bathily is to be given French nationality at a ceremony on Tuesday after his application was fast-tracked.
The gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, killed four Jewish hostages at the supermarket before being shot dead by police.
A petition was later circulated in France calling for Mr Bathily to be given citizenship.
He has lived in France for nine years and applied for citizenship last year.
Mr Bathily said he had been in the basement of the supermarket when he heard gunshots upstairs.
"The customers started running down the steps. They were screaming [that] there were terrorists in the shop.
He said he noticed that the cold storage room was open.
"I told them to come in with me. Then I switched off the fridge and the lights.
"I told the customers to stay calm. [I said:] If the terrorist comes down here he must not hear you."
Mr Bathily said once everyone was quiet he decided to escape to alert police.
"I took the service lift out of the basement. I rushed out and saw the police everywhere," he said.
"They told me to put my hands up but then they asked me for my help.
"I told them a lot of hostages were hidden in the basement. They asked me to draw a map of the shop to help with their assault."
Mr Bathily said he had a good relationship with Jewish colleagues at the shop, and was sometimes teased about when he would get a Jewish girlfriend.
Asked about the Paris attackers, Mr Bathily said: "They were just criminals who want to make people suffer."
Last week's violence began with an attack by two gunmen on Charlie Hebdo magazine, which left 12 people dead.
The two gunmen behind the Charlie Hebdo attack - Said and Cherif Kouachi - were shot dead by police outside a warehouse near Paris on 9 January.
Twelve suspects are being held by police in the Paris region over the attacks, in which 17 people were killed.
They are being questioned about "possible logistical support", such as weapons or vehicles, they could have given the three gunmen, police say.
Watson, ranked 126th in the world, beat fourth seed Cibulkova 7-5 6-4 in an enthralling contest.
Compatriot Naomi Broady was beaten 6-2 6-7 (7-9) 6-1 by Czech Kristyna Pliskova, ranked 44th in the world.
In the men's draw, British number two Kyle Edmund was knocked out, but countryman Cameron Norrie won.
Edmund, 22, was beaten 6-4 3-6 6-3 by American world number 47 Donald Young.
Norrie, meanwhile, beatArgentine Horacio Zeballos 6-4 7-6 (7-4).
The 21-year-old world number 236 was one of seven Britons who last week received a wildcard entry to the main draw at Wimbledon.

Watson was made to work hard for her victory, with Cibulkova saving three match points and breaking her opponent's serve late in the final set.
But the Briton held her nerve to oust the world number nine in one hour and 42 minutes.
She sent down eight aces and won 69% of the points on her first serve to set up a meeting with either Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova or Belgian Elise Mertens.
"The atmosphere was incredible, I was getting goosebumps at the end," Watson told Eurosport. "I got a little nervous but I'm pleased I got through it in that last game.
"She's a hard worker and a fighter so I knew it was never going to be easy. She's very aggressive but I'm OK with that. I have some wheels so I've got to use them."
Edmund began strongly on Centre Court but it was Young who broke first to go 5-4 up and then went on to serve out the set.
The Briton hit back in the second, securing the first break at 1-3 and winning four consecutive points in the final game to force a deciding set.
However, Young proved too strong as Edmund lost his rhythm in the closing stages.
Edmund, who was beaten in the first round at Queen's by teenager Denis Shapovalov, has lost 13 of his past 16 matches on grass courts.
The 25-year-old made more than 140 appearances for the Bulls but was made redundant when the Championship club went into liquidation on Tuesday.
He had previously signed a new one-year deal with Bradford in November.
"We're bringing in a lad who is really desperate to get back into Super League," said head coach Denis Betts.
"He's at a really good age, really durable and will enhance our squad.
"I've spoken to Tom a couple of times over the last nine months prior to the trouble that has been going at Bradford at this time and always felt he was a player that showed a lot of ambition and desire to join the Vikings when we have spoken to him.
"I think its going to be a place that he can prosper and enhance his career."
Olbison scored six tries in 29 appearances for Bradford in the Championship last season.
"I've had a couple of years in the Championship and I've wanted to get back into Super League as soon as I could, so to be given this opportunity with Widnes Vikings is massive for me," he said.
As a toddler, Sam was snapped on a beach with a determined expression and one fist clenched - an image that spawned the well-known "success kid" meme.
The image has been used widely online by people seeking to celebrate happy moments, small victories and good days.
Now eight, Sam's net fame is being used to raise cash for a kidney transplant for his father.
Sam's father Justin fell ill in 2006 and suffered total kidney failure in 2009. He has been on dialysis ever since. Mr Griner's mother died from the same disease.
In a week, the fund-raising campaign has won pledges of more than $93,000 (£63,000) - far more than the $75,000 needed to pay for the medical procedure.
Health insurance is covering some of the costs of Mr Griner's treatment but the family needs extra cash to pay for the operation and care to help him recover afterwards.
The Griner family are also using the fund-raising page to look for people who are a good tissue match and willing to donate a kidney.
In an interview with the Daily Dot, Sam's mother said a transplant was the only way to save her husband's life.
Ms Griner said she was initially sceptical about using her son's internet fame to raise money but realised it could be a good way to highlight the cause.
"We're the parents of 'Success Kid' for goodness' sake," Ms Griner told the news site. "If anyone understands the power, the mass, and goodwill of the internet, it's those of us lucky to experience it daily."
Other net famous people have also used their appearance in memes to raise cash for good causes. Laina Morris, better known as the face of the overly-attached girlfriend meme, has used her YouTube channel to highlight charities needing cash.
The struggling electronics firm bought Westinghouse in 2006, but it has suffered huge cost over-runs.
Toshiba has also been given permission to delay reporting its earnings for a second time - this time until 11 April.
Mr Tsunakawa said: "We are working on nurturing our growth businesses to return to stable growth by fiscal years 2018 and 2019."
Shares in the company rallied late on Tuesday, closing up 0.5% in Tokyo after earlier falling by nearly 9%.
In February, Toshiba's chairman stepped down and the firm delayed publishing its results over disagreements with its auditors.
Last month, the firm announced a 712.5bn yen ($6.3bn; £5bn) writedown because some of its US nuclear assets were worth far less than estimated.
The situation has led some analysts to warn that the company's future may be at risk.
While often still associated with its technology products, Toshiba has become a diverse conglomerate. Its nuclear services business brings in about a third of its revenue.
However, that side of the business has not made a profit since 2013 and nuclear services globally are struggling since the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
Toshiba had initially alerted investors in December 2016 that it faced a heavy one-off loss linked to a deal done by Westinghouse.
Assets that it took on are likely to be worth less than initially thought and there is also a dispute about payments that are due.
Requesting permission for the new delay to its results, Toshiba said some US senior managers had exerted "inappropriate pressure" in the way the acquisition of a nuclear plant construction company had been dealt with in its accounts.
Since December's announcement, Toshiba shares have lost more than half of their value.
To offset the upcoming writedown, Toshiba is also rushing to sell most or even all its prized memory chip business, which it thinks is worth at least $13bn.
The company is the second largest chipmaker in the world, behind Samsung.
Toshiba is also still struggling to recover from a scandal in 2015, when it emerged that profits had been overstated for seven years. The news prompted the chief executive to resign.
Bangor University experts said the findings suggested Welsh speakers might be less inclined to discuss their health or they may have a better support network and seek help later.
The study has been highlighted during Dementia Awareness Week.
There are about 45,000 people living with dementia in Wales.
Dementia studies lecturer Dr Catrin Hedd Jones told Newyddion 9 the reasons behind the difference in diagnosis time could be due to a range of factors, including a reluctance to speak up sooner.
"If you're from the area and you've got family you are going to be better supported," she said.
Only English speakers moving to a new area might seek help earlier because they have less support, she added.
Earlier diagnosis means treatment and care can begin sooner.
The study focused on a small group of people with dementia in north Wales.
Dementia is now the leading cause of death in England and Wales, with the Alzheimer's Society Cymru saying it costs Welsh society £1.4bn a year.
Glenda Roberts from Pwllheli, Gwynedd, was about 53-years-old when she was diagnosed with the disease.
"I was finding that I couldn't do my work 100%," the retired health care worker said.
"I couldn't remember who took sugar in their tea, or I couldn't remember who took milk. Just little things - but it wasn't right, and I felt I was letting people down.
"Once I got the diagnosis it was a relief. I felt better because I knew what I was dealing with."
Clemons was taken to hospital about a week ago after suffering a stroke at his home in Singer Island, in the US state of Florida.
Known as the Big Man for his 6ft 5in frame, Clemons was credited with shaping the early sound of The Boss.
His solos powered Springsteen hits such as Born to Run and Jungleland.
Springsteen spokeswoman Marilyn Laverty confirmed the death on Saturday.
On his website, Springsteen said the loss of Clemons was "immeasurable" and that he and his bandmates were honoured to have stood beside him for nearly four decades.
The statement said: "Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him."
It added: "He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage."
Canadian rocker Bryan Adams expressed his sadness via Twitter: "RIP Clarence Clemons, one of the greatest rock sax players."
Outside The Stone Pony, the legendary Jersey shore rock club where Clemons, Springsteen and other E Street band mates started out, fans have been leaving tributes since Clemons' death was announced.
The club will open its doors at noon on Sunday to let fans gather and reminisce.
Clemons had suffered from poor health in recent years, including major spinal surgery in January 2010.
At the 2009 Super Bowl, following double knee replacement surgery, he rose from a wheelchair to perform with Springsteen.
In May this year Clemons, a former youth councillor, was well enough to perform with Lady Gaga on the finale of the television show American Idol.
Football dreams
Born in Norfolk, Virginia, Clemons began playing saxophone at the age of nine after receiving one unexpectedly from his father for Christmas.
"I wanted an electric train for Christmas, but he got me a saxophone. I flipped out," he told the Associated Press news agency in a 1989 interview.
After his dreams of being a football player were dashed by a car accident, he turned to music.
Clemons hit it off immediately with Springsteen, then a singer-songwriter from New Jersey, when they first met in 1971, and the saxophonist became an original member of the E Street Band.
Their friendship survived Springsteen's decision to concentrate on solo projects following the success of his album Born in the USA.
In a 2009 interview, Clemons described his deep bond with The Boss, saying: "It's the most passion that you have without sex."
As well as TV and movie appearances over the years, Clemons performed with the Grateful Dead, the Jerry Garcia Band, and Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band.
He also recorded with legendary musical artists such as Aretha Franklin, Roy Orbison and Jackson Browne.
And he jammed with former US President Bill Clinton at the 1993 inaugural ball.
Clemons published a memoir, Big Man: Real Life and Tall Tales, in 2009.
The saxophonist once described performing as his natural environment.
The stage, said the Baptist minister's grandson, "always feels like home - it's where I belong".
Thorbjorn Jagland, secretary general of the Council of Europe, is meeting key government figures.
He said he understood Turkey's need to "take on those behind the coup" but urged it to adopt judicial safeguards.
More than 50,000 Turks have been detained or sacked over suspected links with the alleged mastermind.
But US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen denies any role in the attempted overthrow.
Turkish officials are expected to tell Mr Jagland the government is not getting sufficient support from its Western partners, say correspondents.
How do Turks in Europe see Erdogan?
What you need to know about failed coup
Mr Jagland's organisation monitors human rights compliance among the Council's 47 members, including Turkey.
Based in Strasbourg, it is a body of 47 countries that aims to promote democracy and protect human rights. It is not an EU institution, but the 28 member states and all the candidate countries are members. It set up the European Convention on Human Rights, and cases relating to the convention are brought before the European Court of Human Rights.
EU jargon: A-Z guide to Brussels-speak
Standing beside Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu shortly after arriving in Turkey, Mr Jagland told the media that the coup attempt had been "outrageous" and "there has been too little understanding in Europe" on how a secret network had infiltrated the army and judiciary.
"We see a need for cleaning up all this - but is is important that this is done in conformity with the rule of law and the standards in the European convention on human rights and the case law of the [European] Court of Human Rights," he said.
He will also meet President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, the justice minister and the heads of opposition parties.
Tensions between the Turkish leadership and the country's ostensible Western allies have surged over his response to the coup.
"Does the West take the side of democracy or coup? I think that they take the side of coup", President Erdogan was quoted as saying in a combative speech from his palace in Ankara on Tuesday.
The "script" for the abortive revolt was "written abroad", he said.
And he singled out the the US for particular criticism, over its failure thus far to extradite Mr Gulen. The US says it is still studying the case for extradition.
Tens of thousands of people have been detained, dismissed or suspended from roles in the military, judiciary, civil service and education.
Research scientists have become the latest people to be detained when officers made arrests during a search at the campus of the national Scientific and Technological Research Council near Istanbul.
When the Turkish government declared a three-month state of emergency after the coup, it automatically suspended its adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights and there have been allegations of mistreatment of some of those detained in connection with the coup.
That will be uppermost on Mr Jagland's agenda, reports the BBC's Jonathan Head in Istanbul. But he will also hear a list of grievances from his hosts over the what they perceive as lacklustre support from the EU and the United States - no other senior political figures have visited Turkey since the coup.
Three Turkish parliamentary delegations have been despatched to London, Brussels and Washington to put the government's case.
The Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi illustrated the increasingly overt European disquiet about Mr Erdogan's approach to the rule of law in a tweet on Tuesday.
It came after Mr Erdogan criticised an Italian investigation into his son over suspected money laundering in an interview on Italian TV, in which he suggested judges pursue the mafia instead.
"In this country the judges follow the law and the Italian constitution, not the Turkish president. That's called 'the rule of law'," Mr Renzi said.
Bayern trailed 1-0 at half-time, when Lewandowski came on for Thiago.
Six minutes later, the Poland international netted his first goal of the night from close range.
Lewandowski added four more in quick succession to record the fastest five goals scored by one player in Bundesliga history.
Follow reaction to Bayern's win at home to Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg, who finished second behind Bayern and won the German Cup last season, took the lead when Daniel Caligiuri beat Manuel Neuer at his near post.
The away side almost added a spectacular second from 60 yards when Josuha Guilavogui's lob dropped just wide.
But Lewandowski's introduction changed the game, as the 27-year-old produced a clinical striking display.
Three of his goals were from close range, with his second driven powerfully from outside the box and his fifth a brilliant acrobatic effort.
The win sees Pep Guardiola's Bayern go top of the table, three points clear of Borussia Dortmund, who play Hoffenheim on Wednesday. Wolfsburg are third.
Here's how our live text commentary reported Lewandowski's goals...

Bailey, 16, was stabbed during a fight with a fellow pupil at Cults Academy.
The schoolboy's killer is serving nine years for culpable homicide.
A review in October found his death was "potentially avoidable". The full report was kept private. A heavily-redacted document is expected to be released.
Aberdeen City Council said the report was being finalised and would be published as soon as possible.
The full report was kept private because of legal and data protection issues.
The review, conducted by child welfare professional Andrew Lowe, made 21 recommendations.
A strategy aimed at preventing knives and weapons getting into Aberdeen schools was approved last month.
Staff will be provided with clarity on the recording of incidents in schools, pupil searches and when and how to confiscate weapons, including knives.
Other actions approved by the council include providing professional learning opportunities to teachers in order that they can deliver anti-weapon and knife crime lessons.
Finn took 5-33, his one-day best, and Anderson, back after a knee injury, 4-18 as India were bowled out for 153.
Ian Bell then made an unbeaten 88 and James Taylor 56 not out in a stand of 131 as England chased their target inside 28 overs.
The bonus-point win leaves England second in the tri-series table behind Australia, whom they meet on Friday.
Taken in isolation, the impressive performance at the Gabba was an ideal response to the opening defeat by Australia and kept England in the hunt for a place in the final.
More importantly, it gave Eoin Morgan a first win since replacing Alastair Cook as captain, comes on the back of six defeats in eight ODIs and was only a fourth win in 16 against world champions India less than a month before the World Cup begins.
It came thanks to the penetration of pace pair Finn and Anderson, some woeful India shot selection and a purposeful England run-chase.
Bowling on a true pitch after losing the toss, Anderson swung the ball both ways with miserly accuracy, while Finn - who was deemed "not selectable" in the same city almost a year ago to the day - exploited the pace and bounce on offer.
In fact, England's victory could have been more emphatic had a stand of 70 between Stuart Binny and MS Dhoni not been aided by some pressure-free field settings and an overuse of the bouncer.
By this point, Finn had already sparked a collapse of four wickets for 10 runs in 28 balls that reduced India to 67-5.
With India recovering well from Shikhar Dhawan's early edge behind to Jos Buttler off an Anderson out-swinger, Ajinkya Rahane inexplicably charged a Finn short ball to be held at mid-on.
Both Virat Kohli and Ambati Rayudu looked to guide Finn over slip only to be caught behind either side of Suresh Raina skipping past a Moeen Ali off-break to be stumped.
The Dhoni-Binny partnership steadied India and was beginning to look dangerous when Finn returned to have Dhoni feather another short ball down the leg side and, from the next delivery, Axar Patel edged on to his stumps.
Anderson produced a beauty that nipped off the seam to bowl Bhuvneshwar Kumar and, when the same bowler enticed Binny and Mohammed Shami to sky consecutive deliveries - brilliantly held by Morgan and Moeen respectively - India had lost their last five wickets for 16 runs in 21 balls.
England had a spell to bat before tea, in which over-aggression saw Moeen hole out to mid-off from the bowling of Binny, but Bell and Taylor, who both fell for ducks in the loss to Australia, ensured their would be no alarms.
Bell classily caressed his way to a first ODI half-century in 10 innings, while Taylor, after an uncertain start, gradually found his timing to register a third fifty in six matches.
It was Taylor who swept the winning runs, completing England's domination of an India side that are winless in eight matches on tour in Australia.
A range of measures are being taken in this financial year in a bid to trim more than £2m from expenditure.
More than 700 staff showed an interest in some form of early retirement or voluntary severance (ERVS).
A total of 153 have been approved to leave, more than 300 withdrew their interest after receiving terms and another 278 are still interested.
The staff being allowed to leave should deliver savings of more than £1.3m this year with £2.4m forecast in 2017/18.
Potential savings of another £3.1m have been estimated from all the other applications still in the system.
Reductions in overtime, a work life balance scheme, salary sacrifice and staff redeployment are also expected to deliver savings.
However, the report warns that trade unions are unwilling to agree to any changes to staff terms and conditions until all alternatives - including ERVS - have been "fully exhausted".
The local authority has already cut staff levels by the equivalent of more than 600 full-time posts in the past year. | The US added 173,000 jobs in August, the Department of Labor said on Friday, in the last unemployment report before September's interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve.

The full-back, 19, who recently helped the under-20 national side to an historic victory over England, makes his third start for the club.
Scarlets flanker James Davies returns from a foot injury to start
The 25-year-old returns after undergoing surgery on a broken bone in his foot sustained in the 20-12 win over Zebre in November.
Edinburgh's only other change from the side who lost to Ospreys last time out sees Damien Hoyland return to the wing.
Tom Brown completes the back three, with the rest of the back line remaining unchanged.
Hooker Neil Cochrane will captain the side, with Ben Toolis released by the Scotland national squad to partner Anton Bresler in the second row.
Jamie Ritchie and Hamish Watson start in the back-row either side of number eight Cornell Du Preez.
Victory for Edinburgh will see them move above Glasgow Warriors and into fifth place in the Pro12 table, although they will have played two matches more.
Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons said: "With international call-ups and injury this will yet again be a test of the strength in depth of our squad.
"Our players are looking forward to meeting the challenge this presents."
The only other change from Scarlets' win at Ulster last Sunday sees Maselino Paulino come in at blind-side flanker.
"He's [Davies] been training really well and we're excited to have him back," said Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac.
"He's in a really good place, he'll either start or come off the bench but will be involved in the 23."
Prior to his setback, Davies' sparkling early-season form could have made him a contender for Wales' 2016 Six Nations squad.
"He's been top of the league last year in terms of turnovers at the breakdown," Pivac added.
"Prior to the injury he was leading our team stats in terms of metres carrying the ball and defensive tackles and his all-round game was excellent."
Meanwhile scrum-half Aled Davies has been released from Wales' Six Nations training squad and is set to feature at Murrayfield.
Utility back Gareth Owen and back-row Aaron Shingler will undergo return to play protocols and a late decision will be made regarding their availability.
Scarlets sit third in the Pro12 after Sunday's win at Ulster but have not won successive away league games since October.
Edinburgh have lost their last four games and have beaten the Scarlets just once in their last seven meetings - but the Scottish side have lost just once at home this season.
However, Scarlets coach Pivac admits more away wins are needed to secure a top-four place.
"On the road we're forging a good record," Pivac said.
"We're on track for the top four but we have to keep performing in the games we've targeted as must wins."

The number 12 shirt was worn by David Fairclough in his team's victory over French side St Etienne 40 years ago, on their way to a European Cup triumph.
Fairclough earned the nickname supersub for his knack of scoring when he came off the bench.
The shirt is up for sale in an auction of sporting memorabilia.
In March 1977, Liverpool were six minutes away from an exit in the second leg of the quarter-final tie at a packed Anfield when the Liverpool-born striker changed the match.
Fairclough controlled a long pass from Ray Kennedy on his chest, shrugged off a heavy challenge and with two touches slotted the ball home from just inside the penalty area to give his side the 3-1 win they needed for an aggregate victory.
It sent fans wild and prompted a TV commentator to scream: "Supersub strikes again."
Recalling the day, Fairclough, 60, said: "I have very vivid memories of that day.
"I arrived at the ground and you had the feeling something was going to happen - I was not in the starting 11 and never dreamt I would play such a part."
He does not see the shirt as an essential reminder of one of Liverpool FC's classic nights in European football.
"It had been in the Liverpool FC museum - now it's in a bread box at my house. I'm not a great one for memorabilia but it might mean something for someone else," he said.
Fairclough said he would give the money raised from the sale to his children.
He added: "Most of the lads swopped theirs at the game. There was only me and Joey Jones who kept ours."
The shirt, which is listed at £4,000 to £6,000, is part of an auction of sporting memorabilia at London-based Graham Budd Auctions.

Brennan Dickenson and Sammie Szmodics scored as the U's ended a three-match winless run to remain within three points off the top seven, and move above the Stags.
Szmodics went close for Colchester early on, while at the other end Mansfield's Matt Green ballooned over a gilt-edged chance from close range.
The U's went ahead in the 20th minute through Dickenson, who raced onto Sean Murray's excellent cross-field pass and beat Stags right-back Hayden White before drilling a low shot in off the far post.
And Szmodics doubled Colchester's lead eight minutes later when he controlled Dickenson's pass in the area and planted a fine shot past goalkeeper Scott Shearer.
Mansfield left-back Malvind Benning dragged a low shot wide of the far post early in the second half and Green squandered an even better opportunity soon after when he scuffed wide, with only keeper Sam Walker to beat.
Benning's deflected effort was cleared from near his own line by Colchester's George Elokobi late on, as the Stags failed to score for a fourth successive game.

Gigot, 26, tested negative but was banned in February after an "inappropriate exchange" with an anti-doping officer in October.
Les Dracs have registered the France international in their 25-man squad and he could feature at Leigh on Friday.
He scored 12 tries in 30 games in 2016.
"We are stunned by this sanction," Dragons chief executive Christophe Jouffret said at the time of the ban.
The club's statement said that the procedure was carried out "in the presence of several witnesses who were able to confirm the good behaviour of our player".
Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that in exchange, the US and South Korea could halt annual joint military drills, which consistently infuriate the North.
The appeal comes after North Korea test-launched four missiles on Monday, breaking international sanctions.
In response, the US began rolling out a missile defence system in South Korea.
Speaking on the sidelines of China's annual parliamentary meeting, Mr Wang said the Korean peninsula was like "two accelerating trains, coming toward each other with neither side willing to give way".
"Are the two sides really ready for a head-on collision?" he asked.
A mutual halt of military operations would be the first step towards easing tensions and reopening negotiations, he said.
Three of the North Korean missiles came down inside Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) on Monday, prompting Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Donald Trump to say the region had entered "a new stage of threat".
The UN Security Council earlier strongly condemned the launch in a unanimous statement, calling it a grave violation of North Korea's international obligations, which risked destabilising the region.
The Council, which will meet later on Wednesday, also threatened to "take further significant measures" against North Korea, which could imply efforts to introduce a fresh round of sanctions.
It is almost certainly not going to work. The US-South Korean joint exercises have been an annual fixture for the best part of two decades and North Korea's demands for the drills to be scrapped are always rebuffed.
At a time when Pyongyang is believed to be inching ever closer to developing nuclear warheads, Washington and Seoul are more than ever unlikely to be in the market for a grand, symbolic gesture.
So why would China join its neighbour's call for such a bargain? And why now? It may be that Wang Yi is conveying a genuine offer from Pyongyang and, in the role of an honest broker, is willing to give it a go however narrow the odds.
Or perhaps by calling Washington's bluff over the military exercises - casting President Trump as a man unwilling to make compromises in the name of peace - China itself sees some strategic advantage.
Meanwhile, the US has again sought to reassure Beijing over deployment of an extensive missile defence system in South Korea.
The Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system (Thaad) is designed to protect South Korea, and US troops based there, from North Korean missile attacks. The first elements of it were moved into place on Tuesday, hours after the North's latest launch.
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 Thaad deployment, originally agreed under the Obama administration, is controversial.
South Koreans living in areas which will host defence batteries are concerned they could become targets.
China has said its radar capabilities go far beyond what is required for defence and represents an encroachment of US military power and that it will "resolutely take necessary measures to defend our own security interest".
At a news briefing on Tuesday, State Department spokesman Mark Toner repeated US reassurances to China.
He said the US had been "very clear in our conversations with China that this is not meant to be a threat, and is not a threat, to them or any other power in the region".
The US was "actively engaged" with its regional partners, he said, to address North Korea's "continuing provocative behaviour and actions".
Mr Toner said that North Korea would be discussed next week when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson makes his first official visits to South Korea, Japan and China.
Republican House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said that he did not agree with the decision.
Mr Arpaio, 85, was found guilty after he defied a court order to stop traffic patrols targeting suspected immigrants.
He said his conviction was "a witch hunt by the Obama justice department".
Mr Ryan is the latest senior politician to condemn the former policeman's release.
"Law enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon," his spokesman said in a statement.
Other prominent Republican critics include Arizona Senator John McCain and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Arizona's other Republican Senator Jeff Flake also condemned the move as did Democrats and human rights campaigners.
Mr Arpaio's lawyer Jack Wilenchik said that those critical of his pardon were wrong because he was unfairly prosecuted - there was no jury in his case.
The former sheriff was an eager supporter of Mr Trump's campaign to become president and backed tougher policies to combat illegal immigration.
In a statement announcing the pardon, his first, Mr Trump said: "Arpaio's life and career, which began at the age of 18 when he enlisted in the military after the outbreak of the Korean War, exemplify selfless public service.
"Throughout his time as sheriff, Arpaio continued his life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration.
"Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now 85 years old, and after more than 50 years of admirable service to our nation, he is a worthy candidate for a presidential pardon."
The former policeman has said that he may consider running for political office again, despite his age.
He lost a bid for re-election in Arizona's Maricopa County in November 2016, after 24 years in office.
Mr Arpaio, born in Springfield, Massachusetts, could have faced six months in jail at his sentencing in October.
He served in the US military before he became a police officer - where he quickly acquired a reputation for his anti-immigration stance and tough enforcement tactics.
It was spotted at Antrim Grammar School on Tuesday morning.
"Several attempts were made to safely and humanely manage the animal," a PSNI spokesperson said.
"Regrettably, after consultation with the vet working with officers at the scene, we were required to shoot the stag as it had become very agitated and posed a risk to the public."
The office of the Police Ombudsman has been informed.
Greg Kayne, chairman of the British Deer Society in Northern Ireland, told the BBC: "The professionals on the ground would have had to make a risk assessment and that risk assessment would have been focused on public safety.
"Unpalatable though the outcome was for the deer, it sounds as though they had few if any options other than to do what they actually had to do."
School principal Hilary Woods said the incident had upset some pupils.
"We had to basically keep the school in lockdown until the situation was resolved, and there were a number of pupils who were obviously very distressed when they heard about the final outcome," she said.
"It actually ran past some of the pupils when they were outside.
"It could have caused damage and it would have been far worse for me as a principal to deal with, if a child or a member of the public had been injured."
Pupil Jordan McKelvey, who is 17, said: "I just saw the deer trapped and a lot of people and hearing the gunshots and it was quite distracting in class.
"It was quite sad and distressing to see that and hear it."
Abu Hassan, 18, is believed to be the first Jordanian player to sign a professional contract with a UK club.
He began his career with Jordan Youth Club and has since made 11 appearances for his country's under-19 side.
"I am delighted that Ghassan will be joining us for the start of pre-season training," Rovers' under-23 coach Chris Hargreaves told the club website.
Bristol Rovers are owned by the Jordanian Al-Qadi family, who bought a 92% stake in the club in February 2016.

His body was found with signs of torture nine days later in a ditch.
The 28-year-old Cambridge University PhD student was doing field work in Egypt on trade unions - a contentious issue in Egypt - and activism.
Egyptian prosecutors said they approved a request from Italy to send in experts, as well as data recovery experts from Germany.
The local police probe into the killing was criticised last year after sometimes contradictory accounts were issued by the authorities.
No-one has been arrested over Mr Regeni's death, although in March Egyptian authorities said they had found a criminal gang responsible for his kidnapping and murder.
All the gang members were killed in a shoot-out, they said. The reports were branded "implausible" by academics who have criticised the Egyptian authorities.
Police initially suggested Mr Regeni had been killed in a road accident, and have since offered little information on the progress of their investigation.
In September prosecutors said that police investigated Mr Regeni shortly before his abduction, torture and murder, but the inquiry was dropped after concluding he posed no threat.
St Gwyddelan's in Dolwyddelan, Gwynedd, was awarded the bronze eco-church award by environment charity A Rocha.
Changes made included improving the 16th Century church building, as well as allowing wild flowers to grow in the graveyard and putting up bird boxes.
The Bishop of Bangor, the Rt Rev Andy John, congratulated the church.
Deirdre Southgate, the warden at St. Gwyddelan's, said the church's eco journey started back in 1984 when they had to build a shed in the churchyard for storing equipment.
"It was designed with a turf roof to give good insulation and reduce dampness, but it also allowed it to blend into the scenery and made it more acceptable to neighbours," she said.
"It was originally covered with bilberry plants, with wildlife in mind. Some still remain but other plants have self sown.
"A start has now been made on introducing wild primroses in our churchyard and more could be done with wild daffodils and other native species."
In more recent years, LED light bulbs have been used in the church, while lighting is on a timer. The old storage heaters have also been changed to be more energy efficient.
Bishop John, said the church had set an example in its work.
"I'm sure that other churches in the diocese will want to follow in their footsteps," he added.
In November, the Labour leader of Sandwell Council Darren Cooper proclaimed he had negotiated a "historic agreement".
His was one of four Black Country councils which had agreed with traditional rival Birmingham to work towards a combined West Midlands authority aimed at forging an even bigger "economic powerhouse" than the much-vaunted one in the north.
My post of 10 December explained how Coventry faced a decision whether it should take part too, to give the project the critical mass envisaged by Mr Cooper.
Solihull, too, could have a pivotal role in all this.
How credible would a West Midlands authority appear if it did not include the borough which is home to the National Exhibition Centre, the international airport, the Land Rover plant and a potential high-speed rail station?
I mentioned Solihull's Conservative Council leader Bob Sleigh, though "cautious" about the enterprise, had agreed to join the working group looking into it.
And now, with the Christmas decorations packed away for another year, come the dark days of January and a reality-check.
The head of the government's review of governance in Birmingham, Sir Bob Kerslake, has upped the ante by telling the council to press ahead with the project.
The city's Labour leader, Cllr Sir Albert Bore, however, told a recent meeting of the governance scrutiny committee that much as he wanted to proceed quickly, Solihull was a potential "log jam".
"A combined authority which does not include Solihull would not be effective because they are part of the West Midlands economic geography, the travel to work area," he said.
Solihull's reluctance to rush headlong into any quick decisions is understandable.
Leaders of the only Conservative council engaged in this debate have long experience of the general concern in the town that it would have more to lose than most were local assets to be pooled into some sort of wider identity.
This debate has been dominated so far by the great conurbations and the major cities which, in many ways, define them.
But from the Birmingham-based research organisation Public Service Intelligence comes a further word of caution. PSIN's Devo City report highlights what it sees as a serious contradiction at the heart of this whole debate.
The report states: "Ironically, given that devolution in England is being led by the needs of cities, it is the final group of 'lost cities' covering 3.5 million people with a population all below 400,000 that stand in the way of devolution for all, as they are hard to group into viable regions.
"They include cities on the edges of counties they used to belong to."
Stoke-on-Trent and Telford & Wrekin are the ones on that list of 16 "lost cities" in our part of the country.
Telford's Labour MP David Wright told me recently that his new town, though in Shropshire, inclined economically towards the West Midlands conurbation.
The arrival of Jaguar Land Rover's giant engine plant just down the M54 outside Wolverhampton can be expected to strengthen that gravitational pull still further.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council, meanwhile, is an all-purpose authority surrounded by Staffordshire, a sort of unitary island in a county sea. So should it be returned to its former territorial waters?
The Devo City report uses this same analogy to suggest a different vision altogether.
"The remaining lost cities could join with peers in city alliances. Some would be geographically close... such as a North Mercian city alliance of Stoke-on-Trent, Telford & Wrekin and Warrington."
Not only would this cut across the traditional county boundaries of Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire, it would also blur the edge between the Midlands and the North West.
This would be bound to prompt yet more arguments about local democratic identities.
By now you will have gathered that however much political leaders from David Cameron and Nick Clegg to Darren Cooper may want a prompt response, the reality is more likely to be the sort of long-drawn-out process foreshadowed by Sir Albert Bore.
And we will be making our own contribution to the debate in this weekend's Sunday Politics.
Joining me in the studio will be the author of that Devo City report, Steve Mathieson, Director of Public Service Intelligence.
Also with us will be two MPs closely involved in this conversation - Gavin Williamson and Gisela Stuart.
Conservative MP for Staffordshire South, Gavin Williamson is David Cameron's Parliamentary Private Secretary and his constituency includes the i54 business park, home to that Jaguar Land Rover engine plant.
Gisela Stuart, Labour MP for Birmingham Edgbaston, has long championed the decentralisation of politics, especially in pursuit of economic growth, better skills and more jobs.
And I hope you will join us too, at our usual time of 11.00 this Sunday 18 January on BBC One in the West Midlands.
Graziani was honoured with a mausoleum and memorial park, built at taxpayers' expense, in a village south of Rome.
He was notorious as Benito Mussolini's military commander in colonial wars in Ethiopia and Libya where he carried out massacres and used chemical weapons.
Italy's main leftist party has protested against the commemoration.
"Is it possible to allow, accept or simply tolerate that, in 2012, we dedicate a park and a museum to the fascist general and minister Rodolfo Graziani?" asked Esterino Montino, head of the Democratic Party in the Lazio region.
He pointed to the "crimes against humanity committed by Graziani in Ethiopia in the 1930s", La Repubblica newspaper reports.
Graziani was sentenced to 19 years' imprisonment for war crimes in 1948 but was released from jail after serving only two years, and died in 1955.
The BBC's David Willey, in Rome, says that the cult of fascist heroes remains alive in certain parts of Italy despite the outlawing of the fascist party in the country's postwar constitution.
He adds that it is curious, however, that there has been no formal protest that a crypto-fascist mayor of a small town near the capital can, in 2012, publicly honour a man who brought death to thousands of Africans and dishonour to his own country.
By David WilleyBBC News, Rome
Field Marshal Graziani, also known as the Butcher of Fezzan, is known in history books for his brutality in putting down a local rebellion in Cyrenaica, Libya, in the 1920s.
He is also notorious for the massacre of thousands of Ethiopians in another of Italy's colonial wars a decade later, where he is reported to have said: "The Duce [Mussolini] will have Ethiopia with or without the Ethiopians".
He ordered the use of poison gas and chemical weapons against Ethiopian troops and tribesmen in contravention of the Geneva Convention, which Italy had signed.
His final post was as defence minister in Benito Mussolini's short-lived Fascist republic of Salo, just before the end of World War II.
After the war ended, he was sentenced to 19 years' imprisonment by an Italian war crimes tribunal for collaboration with the Nazis, though he was freed after serving only some of his sentence.
The mayor of the village of Affile attended the opening ceremony on Saturday, together with a representative from the Vatican.
Although almost unknown to modern generations of Italians, the Fascist military officer was known as the Butcher of Fezzan for the executions of Libyans he ordered while military governor of Cyrenaica in North Africa, our correspondent says.
He used poison gas and chemical weapons against Ethiopian tribesmen during Italy's colonial war in what was then called Abyssinia.
Towards the end of the war, Graziani was appointed defence minister by Mussolini in the short-lived Fascist Republic of Salo.
He commanded Italian troops alongside the Germans at the Battle of Garfagnana in December 1944, one of the last military victories of the Axis forces.
According to La Repubblica, the mausoleum in Affile cost 127,000 euros (£100,000; $157,000).
About 100 people attended its inauguration, the paper adds.
Mayor Ercole Viri was quoted as saying the memorial was of national importance and dismissing criticism as "idle chatter".
Photos of the opening ceremony were posted in a gallery on the village's website, which lists Graziani as one of the village's "famous sons". Engraved on the mausoleum are the words "Fatherland" and "Honour".
There is another side to Italy's often schizophrenic attitude to its recent history, our correspondent adds.
Another ceremony was held the same weekend marking the anniversary of a tragic massacre of 560 Italian men women and children by German SS troops as a reprisal in a small town near Lucca, in Tuscany.
Martin Schulz, the German Social Democrat and president of the European Parliament, was present in Sant'Anna di Stazzema on Sunday.
He said: "I am a German and the language I speak is the same of those who committed those crimes. I shall not forget that."
Writing on Twitter, he added: "Europe is our answer to the crimes of the last century - it is also our best chance for the future."
Saturday Kitchen star Martin and Abergavenny-based Terry have backed a list of 92 different dishes.
The recipes - 18 soups, 38 main course items and 42 desserts and snacks - are set to be available on wards by March.
Health Minister Lesley Griffiths said: "Food should be viewed with the same importance as medication."
The hospital food makeover aims to offer patients a choice of "tasty choices which can address individual nutritional requirements," the Welsh government said.
The two chefs each have signature dishes on the list which will be on a database available to all hospitals.
Martin previously improved menus at his home town hospital in Scarborough for the BBC TV series Operation Hospital Food.
For the Welsh menus, he focused on soups, submitting recipes for butternut squash and lime, and cauliflower and apple.
He said: "I really feel that food is a medicine. Patients should look forward to meal times as one of the highlights of their day.
"So I was delighted to be invited by the health minister to get involved in such a brilliant project that will instantly benefit so many patients."
Martin worked with an NHS team based at Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny, where fellow chef Terry owns and runs a restaurant, the Hardwick.
Terry, who appeared on BBC TV's Great British Menu, won a Michelin star while head chef at another Abergavenny restaurant, The Walnut Tree.
His signature dish for the NHS recipe list was lamb shoulder and potato pie.
He said: "I am very proud to have been able to contribute to such an important and essential initiative."
Public Health Wales consultant dietician Judith John, who chaired the group which drew up the recipe list, said: ''Everyone has had a role: caterers, dieticians, procurement and now it's to time start implementing it and engaging more with nursing, ward staff and patients to get feedback.
"This is really only phase one of a continual process for developing a quality food service for the hospital population of Wales using a menu framework with standardised recipes and methods, which have all been nutritionally analysed to meet the required standards.''
Launching the All Wales Hospital Menu Framework, Health Minister Lesley Griffiths said: "Hospital food is an essential part of patient care.
"Good food can encourage patients to eat well, giving them the nutrients they need to recover from surgery or illness.
"Standardising the food on offer so patients are assured of good food, wherever they are treated, will help them back to health and improve their experience of hospital greatly.
"Having tasted some of the dishes on offer, I believe the old jokes about hospital food will soon become a thing of the past."
In 2011, the auditor general reported that hospital catering in Wales was improving but more needed to be done to ensure patients got the right "nutritional care".
The Firecontrol project has suffered a series of delays and increased costs since it was announced by the Labour government several years ago.
Fire Minister Bob Neill said agreement had been reached with main contractor Cassidian to end the project.
The Fire Brigades Union welcomed the decision as "long overdue".
In a written ministerial statement to Parliament, Mr Neill said progress of the project had caused "serious concern".
"Following extensive discussion with Cassidian, we have jointly concluded, with regret, that the requirements of the project cannot be delivered to an acceptable timeframe," he said.
"Therefore the best outcome for the taxpayer and the fire and rescue community is for the contract to be terminated with immediate effect."
He added: "I know that the uncertainty around the future of this project has been frustrating and unsettling for the fire and rescue community and those closely concerned with their interests."
Mr Neill said any assets resulting from the £423m project, including the vacant new centres, would be identified.
The centres are standing empty because of problems with their computers.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has said the rent alone on the empty centres had cost the taxpayer £6.5m.
The FBU has campaigned against the project since it was announced.
FBU general secretary Matt Wrack said: "For seven years the Fire Brigades Union has been sounding the alarm about this project, often as a lone voice, and this decision shows that we were right.
"While the project was going on, staff in emergency fire control have been treated appallingly and I hope that, at long last, their security of employment can be confirmed."
Clive Betts, chairman of the communities and local government committee, said the decision came as no surprise.
He said: "In the last Parliament our predecessor committee published a report about the Firecontrol project that criticised both department and the contractor for their handling of this much-delayed initiative that has gone massively over budget.
"Many of the concerns in that report echoed those raised by the same committee in its 2006 report on the fire service.
"From the outset five years ago it was clear there were considerable risks associated with a project that fire authorities and local authorities refused to support fully because they were unconvinced, even at that stage, that the aims of enhanced resilience and efficiency would be achieved."
It says the fighter performed a barrel roll plane over the American plane.
It is the second incident in the Baltic this month in which the US has accused Russian planes of flying aggressively.
Two Russian planes flew close to a US guided missile destroyer almost a dozen times in the Baltic on 13 April.
"There have been repeated incidents over the last year where Russian military aircraft have come close enough to other air and sea traffic to raise serious safety concerns, and we are very concerned with any such behaviour," Pentagon spokesman Daniel Hernandez said on Friday.
"The US aircraft was operating in international airspace and at no time crossed into Russian territory. This unsafe and unprofessional air intercept has the potential to cause serious harm and injury to all air crews involved.
"More importantly, the unsafe and unprofessional actions of a single pilot have the potential to unnecessarily escalate tensions between countries."
Mr Hernandez said the Su-27's "erratic and aggressive manoeuvres" also threatened the safety of the US aircrew, coming within 7.6m (25ft) of the fuselage of the American plane before conducting its barrel roll.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday defended the flybys of warplanes over the US Navy destroyer in the Baltic Sea, insisting they were only looking at the ship "from a safe distance".
Military encounters between Russia and the US and its allies have escalated significantly over the past two years, ever since Russia's annexation of Crimea and the breakdown of relations between East and West.
The BBC's Gary O'Donoghue in Washington reported after the destroyer incident that Russia's actions were regarded by defence analysts as a flexing of muscle - a reminder that Russia has military might and cannot be pushed around.
But our correspondent says the frequency of such situations means many fear that a full-on confrontation - be it deliberate or accidental - is just a matter of time between the world's two great military powers.
Under draft plans published last month, all England's state schools must become academies, run by trusts rather than councils, by 2022.
Councils would have to set up non-profit companies to become trusts.
But there are hints this requirement could be waived.
On Sunday, a group representing 37 largely Conservative local authorities warned the plan for all state schools in England to leave the oversight of councils by 2022 would not raise school standards.
David Davis MP also urged the government "to think long and hard about this step which will likely be extremely costly, and may lead to many smaller schools closing down".
He said he had written to Mrs Morgan warning the government "to be very careful not to overreach".
Mrs Morgan defended the plan at Education Questions in the House of Commons on Monday, promising she would not "leave the job half done".
On Wednesday she is due to give evidence to MPs on the Education Select Committee.
In addition, Conservative MPs have demanded Ms Morgan explain herself at a meeting of the backbench 1922 committee.
Now, a government source has said the decision over whether councils wishing to from their own multi-academy trusts would be required to set up a non-profit "social enterprise" has not yet been made. But the government will not alter its position on the deadline of 2022 for all schools to become academies.
What does it mean to be an academy school?
The Local Government Association said changing the contracts of schools to convert them into academies would still cost "millions" and is calling on the government to drop its plans.
The LGA says its own research, published on Monday, suggests local authority maintained schools continue to outperform academies in Ofsted inspections.
And Labour said having councils running chains would still amount to "costly upheaval for thousands of outstanding schools".
Shadow education secretary Lucy Powell said requiring all schools in England to become academies would be a "costly, unnecessary exercise with no evidence that standards will improve".
And a source close to Ms Powell added making it easier for councils to form their own multi-academy trusts would be "neither a U-turn, or sufficient".
Association of Teachers and Lecturers general secretary Dr Mary Bousted said the rumoured changes "totally blow out of the water the government's key drive in the white paper to make 'local authorities running schools a thing of the past'" but did not go far enough.
"The government will still be left as judge and jury over whether local authorities meet its criteria to run schools," she said.
"Schools will still be forced to go through a completely unnecessary and expensive legal process to change into academies, which will divert their heads' attention away from running the school and improving children's learning."
The Department for Education said converting England's schools into academies would put control of children's education in the hands of teachers and school leaders "who know their pupils best".
"We want to work constructively with the sector to deliver this and ensure standards continue to rise," said a DfE spokesman.
They want this to be a swift and efficient operation. The police, NGOs and asylum services have had many weeks to prepare, and on paper, all is in place.
A fleet of 150 buses has been hired. Over the next few days, these will disperse to points across France, bearing migrants to new Welcome and Orientation Centres (CAOs).
The Jungle population - estimated at 7,000 - has had plenty of warning. Many of them have taken the route to CAOs already. But in the past the move was voluntary. Now the migrants are told they have no choice.
They must board the buses and stay on them, or face being sent to "administrative centres" - the first step (in theory if not in practice) to possible deportation.
The authorities hope that in two days they will have shifted 4,000 people. By the end of the week, they want the sandy lowlands of north Calais to be returning to their natural state.
But what happens next? Does emptying the Jungle mean the Calais problem is solved once and for all? Or will the same process soon start all over again?
After all, just because the migrant camp has been closed, that does not mean the draw of England is any the less strong.
The example of a previous Calais crisis is in everyone's minds - Sangatte.
From 1999 to 2002, a few miles to the south of the Jungle on the other side of Calais, a former Eurotunnel hangar was turned into a Red Cross holding centre for migrants.
Originally conceived for just a few hundred, by the end it was holding more than 1,500 Afghans, Iraqi Kurds and Kosovans. Every week, many were being smuggled into the UK.
The French and UK governments agreed that Sangatte was acting as a magnet. For migrants, it was a necessary stepping stone on their route to the UK, because it was here that contacts and arrangements were made for the final illegal crossing.
And so, in December 2002, it was closed down. The UK agreed to take in some 1,300 Kurds and Afghans and France coped with the rest.
But it was not long before makeshift camps started appearing again in and around Calais: and with the huge growth of immigration to Europe of the last few years, the Jungle was born.
The French authorities hope that, even though the numbers now are much greater than at Sangatte, this time things will be different.
The main difference, they say, is that today there is a properly organised system for dealing with the migrants.
Across the country, more than 400 CAOs have been created: in former gendarme barracks, disused hospitals and training-centres, and out-of-season holiday villages
Once installed there the migrants will, if they wish, make applications for asylum. Those who do will be moved to other more established structures: Reception Centres for Asylum Seekers (CADAs).
Unaccompanied minors, the subject of heated last-minute exchanges with the UK, get different treatment. France wants the UK to take in the estimated 500 who say they have family there. The rest will go to yet other holding centres in France.
The planning is thorough, the intentions are good, but there are many imponderables.
First, some communities have reacted badly to news that they must take in ex-Jungle inhabitants.
At Champtercier for example, a village of 800 in the mountains of southeast France, people are worried about the sudden change to their tranquil way of life. A holiday centre there is to take in around 100 Eritreans and Sudanese.
"I am in two minds about it. On the one hand, we need to show common humanity. But are we really able to take in all these migrants? This is a small place which lives very quietly. Many of the inhabitants are old people, and they are the ones who get afraid," one man told Le Monde newspaper.
Elsewhere, reaction has been openly hostile. In Forges-les-Bains, outside Paris, a proposed centre was set on fire. And in the southern town of Beziers, the Front National-affiliated mayor has put up anti-immigrant posters with the words, "That's it - they're coming!"
Another worry is capacity. The new CAO centres are meant to be temporary. People are supposed to be moved quickly on to CADAs or, if they do not want to apply for asylum, then to other centres and possible expulsion.
But the process is long, and the CADAs are already near to bursting. With many of the CAOs needing to revert to other functions in the spring, many migrants risk being back living rough.
The big ambition - as with the Sangatte closure - is to eliminate the attraction of a single focal point at Calais for smugglers and migrants.
If it works, then a lot of political and diplomatic heat will be dispersed along with the migrants.
The people of Calais will welcome a return to normality, and a point of growing tension between Paris and London will be defused.
Already Calais is an important issue in next year's presidential election in France, with the favourite Alain Juppe urging a renegotiation of the border arrangements under which UK officials process travellers in France.
If the pressure is off, and the Jungle remains empty, then this may drop down the French agenda.
But no-one should be optimistic. Everything from the past suggests that the Calais migrant problem is chronic, and liable to deteriorate.
A government spokesman said Ukrainian forces had retaken most of the area around the bitterly contested airport.
A Kremlin spokesman said Russia was "concerned" by the escalation.
In Ukraine's capital, Kiev, thousands attended a rally for 13 civilians who died in the east when their bus came under rocket attack last Tuesday.
Addressing the rally, President Petro Poroshenko paid tribute to those defending Donetsk airport from rebels, saying they had "demonstrated their courage, patriotism, heroism, as a model for how our country must be defended".
"We will not give away one scrap of Ukrainian land," he told the crowd.
Donetsk airport no longer functions but has taken on symbolic value for both sides.
Around Donetsk, Ukrainian government officials said there had been massive shelling of separatist positions as the army launched a counter-attack.
"The decision was taken for a mass operation," military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said on TV.
"We succeeded in almost completely cleaning the territory of the airport, which belongs to the territory of Ukrainian forces as marked by military separation lines."
Locals said there had been intense fighting, including in residential areas, and several civilians were reported to have been killed.
Rebel leader Alexander Zakharchenko accused Kiev of "trying to unleash war again".
A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, said Moscow was concerned by the "escalation of hostilities", adding that it undermined a ceasefire agreed in Minsk in September that has been repeatedly violated by both sides.
"This state of affairs in no way contributes to the implementation of the Minsk agreements and future search for a resolution," Mr Peskov said.
Ukraine says some 8,500 Russian regular troops are helping the rebels.
More than 4,700 people have been killed since the rebels took control of a big swathe of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in eastern Ukraine last April. Many more civilians have been displaced by the fighting.
Russia denies sending regular troops and heavy weapons there, but admits that Russian "volunteers" are helping the rebels.
Richard Noble, the man behind the Bloodhound SSC project, has admitted in his latest blog they need to spend £10m this year which they do not have.
"It's going to be the usual hand-to-mouth fight for existence," he wrote.
The Bristol-based team is vying to break the world land-speed record with a car powered by a rocket bolted to a Eurofighter-Typhoon jet engine.
The current record of 763mph (1,230km/h) was set by RAF Wing Commander Andy Green in Thrust SSC in 1997.
He will be behind the controls of the Bloodhound SSC (Super Sonic Car) when it attempts to break the record at the end of this year, and then to go even faster in 2016.
But Mr Noble, the project's director who broke the land speed record in Thrust2 in 1983, has written of his concerns for the future of the bid without more commercial sponsors.
He described "massive struggles to meet the huge financial demands" behind the scenes and said the project's banking team had "never seen anything quite like Bloodhound".
However, financial trouble was overcome in 2014 and - even though they are four years beyond the original schedule - the team is now confident 2015 will be the year the car runs on Hakskeen Pan in Northern Cape, South Africa.
Inverness City Roller Derby, which was formed in 2015, will compete in the exhibition game against Ice Ice Baby.
The visiting team is made up of players from Aberdeen's Fight Hawks, Helgin Roller Derby, Mean City Roller Derby and the Fair City Rollers.
Sunday's game at Inverness Leisure Centre will be followed by a roller disco and children's activities.
Roller derby is a full contact, tactical sport played on skates.
Popular in the US in the 1950s and 60s, it has experienced a renaissance in recent years and there are teams across Scotland.
A spokeswoman for Inverness City Roller Derby said the team was "very excited" about the upcoming first home game, which will start at 13:45.
Jim McCafferty, who previously lived in Glasgow and joined Celtic in 1990, now lives in Belfast.
He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Thursday.
He was arrested on Tuesday after presenting himself at a police station in Belfast. He was arrested over offences committed in Northern Ireland.
Mr McCafferty initially worked for Celtic as a scout, later becoming one of the club's kit men and working with the youth team.
For several years Mr McCafferty worked for other Scottish clubs including Falkirk and Hibs, before moving to Northern Ireland about seven years ago.
He is not believed to have worked in football in Northern Ireland in any official capacity.
Poppy Widdison, from Grimsby, died from a cardiac arrest in June 2013.
Extracts of police interviews were read out at Hull Crown Court, in which Michala Pyke admitted taking heroin but "never" while with her daughter.
Ms Pyke, 37, of Ladysmith Road, and her ex-partner, John Rytting, 40, of Frederick Street, deny child cruelty.
In her interview, Ms Pyke told officers how she became addicted to drugs and was on a methadone programme.
David Gordon QC, prosecuting, said: "Pyke said she was taking heroin at the time Poppy died but never did that in Poppy's presence.
"She suggested that if there were signs of heroin in Poppy's system it was because of passive smoking."
She was asked if she had ever seen her ex-partner giving Poppy drugs, with Ms Pyke replying: "No, it doesn't make sense."
In his police interview, Mr Rytting also spoke of being on a methadone programme and how he took temazepam, diazepam and medication for paranoid schizophrenia.
"The small quantities of various drugs discovered at my home address are for my home use to treat myself for drug withdrawal and depression," he said in the interview.
When police asked Ms Pyke how diazepam came to be in Poppy's system she said she had "no idea", the court was told.
The court heard Mr Rytting told detectives Poppy was sleeping on a settee because they were "doing up a bedroom".
When police asked if Ms Pyke locked Poppy in, she replied the front and inner door of the house would be used as a "naughty corner", the court was told.
The prosecution claims the couple "fed" drugs to Poppy to sedate her because she got in the way of their relationship.
The trial continues.
There were no proven drugs or vaccines against the virus at the start of the largest outbreak of Ebola in history, which began in Guinea in December 2013.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said the findings, being published in the Lancet, could be a "game-changer".
Experts said the results were "remarkable".
This trial centred on the VSV-EBOV vaccine, which was started by the Public Health Agency of Canada and then developed by US pharmaceutical company Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD).
It combined a fragment of the Ebola virus with another safer virus in order to train the immune system to beat Ebola.
A unique clinical trial took place in Guinea. When a patient was discovered, their friends, neighbours and family were vaccinated to create a "protective ring" of immunity.
Analysis
This could be the breakthrough the world has been waiting for.
There is caution as the results are still preliminary, with more data coming in.
But officials at the WHO believe the effectiveness of the vaccine will end up being between 75% and 100%.
Had such a vaccine been available 18 months ago then thousands of lives could have been saved.
There are still other vaccines being trialled - notably from GSK and Johnson & Johnson - although as the number of cases continues to fall it is becoming increasingly difficult to prove how effective they are.
Ebola will inevitably come again.
The hope now is that the legacy of this unprecedented outbreak will be a vaccine that means a tragedy of this scale can never be repeated.
One hundred patients were identified in the trial between April and July and then close contacts were either vaccinated immediately, or three weeks later.
In the 2,014 close contacts who were vaccinated immediately there were no subsequent cases of Ebola.
In those vaccinated later there were 16 cases, according to the results published in the Lancet medical journal.
The WHO says it is so far 100% effective, although that figure may change as more data is collected.
Close contacts of Ebola patients in Guinea will now be vaccinated immediately. And since the vaccine has been shown to be safe, that process will also be extended to include children.
Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) is involved with this research, and is part of a parallel trial for frontline healthcare workers.
Medical director Bertrand Draguez said the Lancet results should spur instant action.
"With such high efficacy, all affected countries should immediately start and multiply ring vaccinations to break chains of transmission and vaccinate all frontline workers to protect them."
Marie-Paule Kieny, an assistant director general at the WHO told BBC News: "It is certainly promising. We have seen that where rings have been vaccinated, the transmission has stopped.
"Prior to vaccination there were cases, cases, cases. The vaccine arrives and 10 days later the cases are flat.
"It could be a game-changer because previously there was nothing, despite the disease being identified 40 years ago.
"When there is a new outbreak this vaccine will be put to use to stop the outbreak as soon as possible to not have the terrible disaster we have now."
More than 11,000 people have died from Ebola and nearly 28,000 have been infected.
The sheer scale of the 2014-15 outbreak led to an unprecedented push on vaccines - and a decade's work has been condensed into around 10 months.
The number of cases has fallen - and in the week up to July 26th 2015 there were just four cases in Guinea and three in Sierra Leone.
Prof John Edmunds, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, helped design the trial: "The development has been at an absolutely unprecedented speed.
"This is very good news, these are very significant results, the epidemic is not over and this shows we have another potential weapon.
"The trial is still continuing, these are interim results which need confirming, but there's now light at the end of the tunnel."
Dr Jeremy Farrar, the director of the Wellcome Trust medical charity, said this was a "remarkable result" and was the product of international collaboration.
He added: "Our hope is that this vaccine will now help bring this epidemic to an end and be available for the inevitable future Ebola epidemics."
15 August 2016 UPDATE: This article has been amended to make clear that the vaccine was developed by MSD, the trading name used by Merck & Co outside the US and Canada.
But his budget promises to have an impact on the chances of the Stormont politicians' extricating themselves from their current welfare reform trap.
MLAs won't have to give their approval to the chancellor's limit on child tax credits, as taxation remains a Westminster responsibility.
However other proposals, such as the planned reduction in the benefits cap to £20,000, are devolved. Because of the stand-off over previous welfare changes, Northern Ireland has not yet implemented the existing £26,000 cap.
So a £20,000 cap would either require a Stormont deal - which is hard to envisage - or direct legislation by the Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers.
Predictably, nationalists have criticised the child tax credit changes. Less predictably, the DUP is also unimpressed.
East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson believes introducing a two tier system for families in London and elsewhere is a "first step towards the regionalisation of benefits" which would be "detrimental to those of us who represent poorer regions".
Given the low pay rates amongst much of the Northern Ireland workforce, you might think the increase in the minimum wage would be welcomed by all sides.
But Sinn Féin's Daithi McKay criticised the planned rate announced by the chancellor insisting it wouldn't protect working families.
So whilst Ms Villiers may point out that the budget has put money in the pockets of 700,000 people in Northern Ireland, it doesn't look like it will make her job of trying to resuscitate the Stormont House Agreement any easier.

The database's creator, Thomson Reuters, has confirmed an unnamed third-party exposed an "out of date" version online.
But it says the material has since been removed.
Security researcher Chris Vickery said he discovered the leak. He notified the Register, which reported that it contained more than two million records and was two years old.
"There was no protection at all. No username or password required to see the records," Mr Vickery told the BBC.
"I want to be clear that this unprotected database was not directly hosted by Thomson Reuters itself."
A spokesman for the financial data provider said it was trying to tackle the problem.
"We are grateful to Chris Vickery for bringing this to our attention, and immediately took steps to contact the third party responsible - as a result we can confirm that the third party has taken down the information. We have also spoken to the third party to ensure there will be no repetition of this unacceptable incident," David Crundwell said.
"World-Check aggregates financial crime data from the public domain, including official sanctions data, to help clients meet their regulatory responsibilities."
Other sources of information used to collate the database include :
Individuals' dates and places of birth are also listed, in order to help banks check they are looking into the right people.
"The worst possible situation that could arise is that someone who may be innocent, but accused of criminal activity in the database, could be permanently branded on a global scale if this database were to be spread publicly," said Mr Vickery.
A spokeswoman for the UK's Information Commissioner Officer said the Data Protection Act required personal information to be kept secure even if it had been collated from public sources.
"Organisations must take appropriate measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss, destruction or damage," she said.
"We'll be making enquiries."

It was a close finish, with the Derry team just four points behind winner LMAX Exchange, another UK-based crew.
Some of those involved in the competition have spent 11 months at sea, as the race spans six continents.
Thousands of spectators lined the banks of the Thames in London on Saturday as the teams celebrated the final result.
Many of the 690 competitors are amateurs and some of them had little or no previous sailing experience before they embarked on the global challenge last August.
The organisers said this year's entrants "endured some of the most extreme conditions ever experienced in the event's 20-year history".
The amateur sailors had to cope with hurricane force winds, giant waves, freezing conditions, injuries and for the IchorCoal team - a double tragedy.
IchorCoal crewman Andrew Ashman was fatally injured by the yacht's boom last September, and Sarah Young was swept overboard in the Pacific Ocean in April.
Clipper Race founder Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, who was first person to sail solo non-stop around the world, acknowledged that this year's event was "extremely tough".
"The conditions encountered in the Pacific were the worst we've seen in 20 years of running the race," he said.
"I am proud of all of the crew; they have taken on all the world's most challenging oceans and have been very resilient.
"They should be justly proud of themselves - whether crossing a single ocean or circumnavigating the entire planet. It is a remarkable achievement."
The competition is spread over 14 individually scored races.
The Derry-Londonderry-Doire won four of the individual races and finished with a total of 148 points.
LMAX Exchange was crowned the overall winner with 152 points.
The victorious yacht is owned by the British financial technology firm LMAX Exchange, whose chief executive, David Mercer, is from Belfast.
He said: "I'd like to thank all 58 crew who contributed to this herculean effort with special mention to our eight round the worlders - the glue that kept our team bond strong throughout."
The final results were:
It was found in a bathroom of the same Hollywood hotel where it was taken.
Police were tipped off by gossip site TMZ, who said they were contacted by a man claiming to be the thief.
He said he had returned the dress after learning the pearls studding the dress were fake.
The custom Calvin Klein-designed gown is coated with 6,000 natural pearls, but the purported thief said he took two of them for testing and were told they were not real.
Detectives are working with the owners of the dress to confirm if it is the dress.
But Michael White of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said he believed it was. No arrests have been made.
''Whether the jewels on the dress are fake or real... we still have a burglary and we still have a grand theft,'' Mr White said.
Nyong'o won best supporting actress in 2014 for 12 Years a Slave and was a presenter at Sunday's ceremony.
Speaking about the dress's design, the 31-year-old said: "We talked about it being fluid and liquid. I wanted it to be an homage to the sea."
Officers were called to Car Bank Avenue in Atherton, Greater Manchester at about 11:00 BST on Monday after reports of a collision between three cars, and a group of men fighting in the street.
One man received minor injuries but did not require hospital treatment following the incident, after which the cars were all abandoned in the street.
Any witnesses are urged to call police.
The three cars involved were a silver Fiat Stilo, a black Vauxhall Astra and a blue Vauxhall Omega.
Det Sgt Craig Hurst of Greater Manchester Police said: "This is an unbelievable incident on the streets of Atherton.
"I know the community will be alarmed but we are putting all our efforts into finding those responsible.
"There will be extra police in the area and anyone with any concerns can speak to our officers."
Erick Aguirre's own goal put the Golden Eaglets in front in Abu Dhabi.
The Nigerians doubled their lead with a tap in from Kelechi Iheanacho before captain Musa Mohamed's free kick sealed the win.
Nigeria also picked up the tournament's fair-play award and Dele Alampasu was awarded the Golden Glove for being the best goalkeeper.
The first goal came after nine minutes from a Nigerian counter-attack moments after the Mexicans had threatened at the other end.
The Golden Eaglets broke quickly to create a three-against-one situation, and as Musa Yahaya was about to pull the trigger, Aguirre's attempted clearance ended up in his own net.
Yahaya nearly doubled the lead in the 39th minute but his shot crashed against the bar.
Moments later, Taiwo Awoniyi tried a spectacular overhead kick but it went straight into the arms Raul Gudino in the Mexican goal.
Mexico threatened the Nigerian goal a couple of times in the first half but found Alampasu in inspired form.
The Mexicans pressed early in the second half but it was Nigeria who doubled their lead when Gudino parried a long range shot into the path of Kelechi Iheanacho, who tapped in for his sixth goal of the tournament.
With 15 minutes left on the clock, the Mexicans had a great chance to score but Ivan Ochoa headed wide.
The title was sealed when captain Mohamed curled a free kick round the wall from the edge of the area with nine minutes left.
The victory in the United Arab Emirates caps a successful year for Nigeria after the senior team won the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa in January. | Scotland under-20 international Blair Kinghorn will start for Edinburgh in Sunday's Pro12 match against Scarlets.

Teodorin Nguema Obiang Mangue is being sought on money-laundering charges.
Mr Obiang, the son of President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mbasogo, denies any wrongdoing.
The judge, Roger Le Loire, issued the warrant after Mr Obiang refused to be interviewed by magistrates on charges of corruption, legal sources say.
Mr Obiang's lawyer told the AFP news agency that he had not been informed that any mandate for his client's arrest had been issued.
He added that any such warrant would be a "non-event" due to Mr Obiang's status.
"Mr Obiang has judicial immunity as he is the vice-president of Equatorial Guinea and therefore could not attend the summons," Emmanuel Marsigny told AFP.
According to French newspaper Le Monde, the warrant for Mr Obiang - known as Teodorin in his country - was issued on Thursday.
French judges are investigating allegations that several African leaders have bought assets in France with embezzled state funds.
They are looking at President Obiang as well as Congo-Brazzaville's President Denis Sassou Nguesso, and Omar Bongo, the late president of Gabon.
Correspondents say Teodorin Obiang, who also serves as agriculture minister, is known for his lavish lifestyle.
He recently hit the headlines when he honoured his promise to pay his national football team $1m (£641,000) for winning the opening game of the Africa Cup of Nations which Equatorial Guinea co-hosted earlier this year.
The original legal complaint was brought by Transparency International, an anti-corruption campaign group that accuses several African leaders of acquiring property, cars and luxury items in France using misappropriated public money.
In October 2011, the US government said it would seek to recover assets worth more $70m (£44m) from Teodorin Obiang. A month earlier, French police seized several luxury cars from him.
Equatorial Guinea is one of Africa's largest oil exporters, but most of its 720,000-strong population lives in poverty.
President Obiang seized power from his uncle in 1979 and was re-elected in 2009 with 95% of the vote.
The authority had been under no overall control, with Labour the biggest party by four councillors.
Nationally, the UK Independence Party (UKIP) suffered huge losses, but they did manage to gain the Padiham and Burnley West ward on Lancashire County Council from Labour.
Alan Hosker beat Marcus Johnstone with a majority of 228 as, elsewhere, the Greens held Lancaster Central ward.
With a 45% share of the vote, the Tories won 46 of the council's 84 seats.
Among them were incredibly narrow victories in Mid-Rossendale (won by only eight votes) and Clitheroe (five).
Pendle Central was a Conservative gain for Joe Cooney from the Liberal Democrats, while the Tories also picked up Rossendale South, Chorley Rural West, and Moss Side & Farington.
Labour lost nine wards compared to 2013, winning 30 seats on a 35% share of the vote. Hasina Khan gained Chorley North in a rare bit of good news for the party.
Jennifer Mein, the previous council leader, easily retained her Preston South East seat but was left in tears by Labour's loss of the county hall.
The Liberal Democrats took four seats - losing two - while two seats were held by independents (Liz Oades in Fylde East and Paul Hayhurst in Fylde West)
Compared with 2013, overall turnout rose 5% to 42%.
The county council provides local government services across the region including education, health, social care and transport.
The Conservatives have done it... they have overall control of Lancashire County Council.
Labour haven't done as poorly as some might have predicted but they'll still be bitterly disappointed with this result.
The Lib Dem surge that some had predicted hasn't arrived and they've ended up with only half the seats they've had for the past four years.
As well as that Conservative majority, the big shock here today is the fact UKIP have won a seat. Alan Hosker is so far the UK's only victor.
I'm told the Tories are having a meeting on Saturday to finalise arrangements but, as things stand, Councillor Geoff Driver will be the next leader of Lancashire County Council.
Labour leader Jenny Mein told me: "I just want to go home and cry".
Politics can be an unforgiving beast.
Currently, such tests apply only to overseas non-European applicants.
Language checks for doctors from Europe have already been introduced.
Health Minister Dan Poulter said the measures were aimed at protecting patient safety.
The risk of a healthcare professional not being fluent in English was highlighted by a lethal mistake made by Dr Daniel Ubani, a German doctor doing an out-of-hours shift who gave a lethal dose of a painkiller to patient David Gray in 2008.
At the time, as a German citizen, he was able to register to work in the UK without passing a language test.
The changes would mean the relevant regulatory bodies of each profession would be able to undertake language checks on all new applicants, as well as fitness-to-practise action if there were concerns about employees already working.
Dr Poulter said: "We greatly value the contributions that healthcare professionals from all over the world have contributed, and continue to contribute, to our NHS but it is essential that they have a sufficient knowledge of the English language in order to provide safe patient care.
"Ministers from the four UK health departments are firmly committed to improving public protection by preventing healthcare professionals who do not have sufficient knowledge of English from working in the UK."
The consultation will close on 15 December 2014.
The push will include smartcards that monitor attendance and offer incentives for families to send their daughters to school.
It will also deploy satellite broadband to improve connectivity in rural areas.
Putting girls through school is increasingly seen as one of the best long-term ways to end poverty.
International Development Minister Nick Hurd said: "It is only through making use of the latest technological innovations that we will reach every girl.
"Already in Kenya, thanks to UK-funded attendance monitoring software, satellite broadband connectivity and interactive learning platforms, we have seen attendance increase by 15% in schools we work with."
The iMlango programme is currently working in more than 200 schools in Kenya and includes:
The money will be mainly spent in sub-Saharan Africa in countries such as Ethiopia, Nigeria, Malawi and Rwanda but will also fund work in Afghanistan, Myanmar, also known as Burma, and Nepal.
The investment was announced at the first Girls' Education Forum in London.
Julia Gillard, chair of the charity Global Partnership for Education, said: "Investing in girls and women isn't just morally right, it is essential for the development of families, communities and countries.
"When we educate girls, we see reduced child deaths, healthier children and mothers, fewer child marriages and faster economic growth."
It is estimated that 63 million girls around the world are out of school, with over half of these in sub-Saharan Africa.
The 30 to 40 volunteers behind the Kos Solidarity Project were using their own funds to buy supplies and relying on donations from hotel unions.
But with little support from local officials, the project's volunteers served their final meals on Sunday.
They now hope the Greek authorities will step in to help feed the migrants.
"We had to decide to stop giving out food," George Chertofilis, the project's organiser, told the BBC. "We just can't afford it anymore."
Mr Chertofilis, a local physics teacher, has spent the past two months leading a varying number of volunteers who cooked in their homes and spent hours distributing meals at makeshift camps and in the deserted Captain Elias Hotel.
"We had to prepare the food and that takes many hours and a lot of money," he said. "We don't have much money, we are not officials, we are just a group of friends."
But without any immediate action from local authorities on Monday, there were no meals to give out to the thousands of migrants who have come to depend on the volunteers.
No one from the mayor's office was available to comment on whether officials would step in to fill the gap, and Mr Chertofilis said he had had no response to his own inquiries.
Because of its proximity to Turkey, Kos has seen more than 12,000 migrants land on its shores so far in 2015, swelling the small population of 30,000 by more than a third.
"To begin with it was just 300 to 400 meals a day," said Mr Chertofilis. "Then during July the number of people increased so much, there were about 1,000 people.
"The volunteers are all employed, everyone has his job to go to. We have to find the time to do this around our jobs. I'm a teacher so during summer I don't have to go to work but many do."
Kontessa Ikonoidi, a local florist, was another volunteer with the group. "Some hotels donate meals and we try and find those with meat in to give to the children," she said.
"We add fruit and cans of milk that we have bought ourselves. It is very difficult but someone must feed them".
Georgia Kasioti, another volunteer who works in local government, said: "I work very long hours so it is tiring to help here too. Sometimes I can only come at weekends.
"The churches and other voluntary organisations have many Greek people to look after because of the economic situation. We need help from the EU with this."
The people of Kos are subject to the same capital controls as the rest of Greece, restricting them to cash withdrawals of just $60 (£42; $65) per day.
A local restaurant owner, who did not want to be named, told the BBC he was worried that if the migrants were not cared for, trouble could flare up.
"If they stop feeding them there could be trouble," he said. "There's no trouble now but when people are hungry there could be trouble."
Mr Chertofilis said he did not want to stop the project but had no choice. He is still waiting for a commitment from the government to provide food for the thousands of migrants on the island.
"We have said to the mayor and the government that we want to continue but we don't have any more money to give, we don't have any more time.
"We are very anxious and worried about what will happen to these people today and in the coming days. All these people with no food, we don't know what they are going to do and it's not their fault."
But now the Labour party has turned to Saatchi and Saatchi's iconic image of the dole queue from the 1979 election to promote its policies on the NHS.
So how much power have posters had in swaying votes? Professor Steven Fielding, director of the centre for British politics at the University of Nottingham has had a look back through the archives at some of the adverts that caused a stir.
Amanda Telfer, 43, died when three frames fell on her as she walked past a building site in London in August 2012.
The frames had been left unprotected and unrestrained against a wall in Hanover Square, Mayfair.
Site supervisor Kelvin Adsett, who was convicted of gross negligence manslaughter, was jailed for a year.
Members of the public rushed to help Ms Telfer but she died at the scene.
An Old Bailey jury previously found Adsett, a supervisor at IS Europe Limited, guilty of manslaughter and breaching health and safety regulations.
Judge Peter Rook QC told him: "Your actions contributed to the wholly needless and untimely death of Amanda Telfer."
He added Adsett, of Slough, Berkshire, had shown "reckless disregard" for what was a life-threatening situation.
In his defence, the 64-year-old's barrister said his life was "destroyed" as the result of "an aberration of carelessness".
Westgreen Construction Limited site manager Damian Lakin-Hall, 50, of Cobham, Surrey, was also sentenced to six months, suspended for two years, for failing to take reasonable care of safety while at work.
Outside court, Ms Telfer's parents Barry and Ann said they hoped the case would have an effect on the construction industry's "casual approach" to health and safety.
In a victim impact statement, Mr Telfer said he was still coming to terms with the death of his daughter.
He said he and his wife last saw their daughter on the morning of her death, adding: "She was cheerful, making plans and looking forward.
"An hour later she was dead."
Ms Telfer was working as a freelance intellectual property and media lawyer for publishers including Random House at the time of her death.
Her father said: "Every parent who has lost a child through violent and sudden death will know the overwhelming shock and disbelief that is impossible to describe."
The court heard how the three frames, which weighed 1,444lb (655kg), had been left leaning against a wall after being delivered the previous day.
The prosecution said it was obvious they carried a "clear and serious risk of death" to anyone walking past.
Another member of the public had almost been hit in a "near-miss" just days before the fatal accident, the court heard.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson QC said there were straightforward steps which could have been taken to avoid the risk.
Adsett's firm IS Europe Limited was found guilty at the Old Bailey of two health and safety breaches.
The court heard the Slough-based company was now "dormant" and had just £250 in the bank.
The judge said: "There would have been a fine of £100,000.
"However, given ISE's limited assets, the only fine I can order is £250."
Graham Partridge, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "If Kelvin Adsett, Damian Lakin-Hall and IS Europe had complied with their legal responsibilities, Amanda Telfer would not have died."
The attack happened in August 2012 in the village of Maghaberry.
Cody a three-year-old collie had to be put to sleep a week after being doused in accelerant and set alight.
The accused are Jamie Downey, 23, from Chestnut Hall Avenue in Moira and Richard Stewart, 23, from Wellington Park in Moira..
They are both charged with causing unnecessary suffering to the border collie. They deny the charges.
The prosecution said the two accused told "lie after lie'" about where they were on the Sunday morning the dog was attacked.
They added Mr Stewart and Mr Downey did a "circuit of Maghaberry village either to work off the effects of the party they were at the night before or to finish the drink they had with them".
The jury was also told by the prosecution that "for some reason they poured flammable liquid over the dog and set it alight".
The prosecution said witnesses placed two men near the house and were seen walking along a railway track towards the direction of a quarry with a black and white dog after 09:00 BST.
The hearing heard how not long after the dog's owners noticed Cody was missing the dog arrived back at the family home around 10:30 BST in a distressed state after being set alight.
The charity Missing People wants to raise awareness of the disappearances of Megan Roberts, from Wetherby, West Yorkshire, and Ed Machin, from York.
Miss Roberts, 20, went missing in York on 23 January. Police say it is likely she fell into the River Ouse.
Mr Machin, 39, was last seen on the same day in Bempton, East Yorkshire. Their disappearances are not connected.
Fans at the League Two match between York City and Cheltenham Town were also reminded of the search for York chef Claudia Lawrence.
Miss Lawrence was last seen on 18 March 2009, when she was aged 35. Detectives believe she was murdered.
Martin Crosby, from Missing People, said: "When someone you love goes missing you want the whole world to stop and join the search.
"Sharing these appeals is one of the key ways fans and the public can support the search for Megan, Claudia and Edward, whose family and friends are pleased to work on this with York City FC, as a club at the centre of the community."
Miss Roberts, who is studying at York St John University, was last seen near to Lendal Bridge which crosses the River Ouse.
North Yorkshire Police have said the "strongest and most probable line of inquiry being pursued by police is that Megan, affected by alcohol, has entered the river".
Mr Machin was last seen in Bempton, near Bridlington, after he was dropped off by a taxi outside the White Horse Inn.
Miss Lawrence's father Peter was expected to attend the event.
He said: "It is distressing to have both Edward and Megan missing in York along with Claudia and my thoughts are with their families and friends.
"I would encourage as many people as possible to help the charity by volunteering, sharing the appeals and by signing up to receive alerts at the game on Saturday."
Flt Lt Sean Cunningham was killed at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, after being accidentally ejected from his Hawk T1.
The inquest has heard that he was ejected because of a problem with the ejection seat firing handle.
The coroner also criticised the RAF and the seat manufacturer following the three-week inquest.
The 35-year-old pilot, who was born in South Africa and grew up in Coventry, died on 8 November 2011.
The inquest has heard that the ejection seat firing handle had been left in an unsafe position which meant it could accidentally activate the seat.
It is thought that one of Flt Lt Cunningham's seat straps had pulled it into this unsafe position on his previous sortie, on 4 November.
Testing of the Mk.10 Martin-Baker seat showed that the safety pin could be inserted even when the seat was in this unsafe position, giving the impression the seat was safe.
Recording a narrative verdict, Coroner Stuart Fisher said the safety pin mechanism was "entirely useless" and said the pin's presence was "likely to mislead".
During the inquest the court heard parts of the Mk.10 Martin-Baker ejection seat were redesigned following the death of Flt Lt Sean Cunningham.
The coroner was told a small metal plate has been designed to fit over the ejection seat firing handle (pictured), to prevent the seat from being activated accidentally.
A new type of bolt, which cannot be over tightened, has also been designed for the parachute drogue shackle at the top of the seat.
The new parts have not been brought into use yet, but in the meantime, customers have been warned about the problems with the seat firing handle and existing bolt.
How dangerous is life as a Red Arrow?
Seven RAF personnel, including Flt Lt Cunningham, had 19 opportunities to check the ejection seat firing handle and did not notice it was in the unsafe position.
Mr Fisher said the RAF had failed to take "sufficient steps" to bring the risk to the attention of air and ground crew, and said this had contributed to the pilot's death.
Flt Lt Cunningham's parachute should have saved his life, but the main chute failed to deploy because a nut and bolt had been fastened too tightly, the inquest heard.
Mr Fisher said none of the engineers who worked on the parachute mechanism can be criticised.
Martin-Baker knew the parachute mechanism could jam if the nut and bolt were too tight as early as January 1990, the inquest was told.
The manufacturer warned some air forces but did not warn the MoD.
Mr Fisher said: "There was a very serious failure of communication by Martin-Baker in my view.
"It is unexplained by the evidence. It seems there is no logic to warn and inform some but not others."
Lincolnshire Police conducted a criminal investigation into the death, and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) considered manslaughter charges against the Ministry of Defence, Martin-Baker and three unnamed individuals.
The CPS concluded that no manslaughter charges should be brought, due to "insufficient evidence".
However, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) could still prosecute Martin-Baker and/or the MoD, and will consider whether to do so now the inquest has concluded.
Flt Lt Cunningham's parents agreed an undisclosed settlement with the MoD in December, after the MoD admitted liability for the incident.
Martin-Baker issued a statement extending "sincere condolences" to Flt Lt Cunningham's family and friends.
"On this occasion, uniquely in the entire history of Martin-Baker ejection seats using this particular feature, it [the parachute] failed due to a shackle bolt being too tight.
"In light of this incident, lessons have been learned and we have taken steps to alert all our customers worldwide who still use this type of seat, of the risk of over tightening the shackle."
Flt Lt Cunningham took Night Nurse medication the night before the accident, but Mr Fisher was satisfied this did not impair his abilities.
Speaking after the inquest, his father Jim Cunningham said: "We welcome the conclusion of the coroner which confirmed what we knew all along, which is that Sean was blameless and his tragic death was preventable,
"We therefore welcome the coroner's recommendations which we hope and pray will ensure no family such as ours has to endure such a pointless and avoidable death."
Air Commodore Terry Jones, speaking on behalf of the MoD, said: "There have been a number of lessons for us and others to absorb and correct and we have made and will continue to make every effort to ensure that such a tragic accident cannot occur again.
"The Red Arrows in particular will be a stronger, safer and better team as a result."
Dragons, Wales' sole survivors in European competitions this campaign, will travel to English Premiership side Gloucester in the last eight in April.
Gloucester topped Pool 4 with six wins out of six while Dragons were second in Pool 2.
"It's something to look forward to and by then we'll have half a dozen players back from injury," Jones said.
"Gloucester away is a good challenge and we're happy with that draw. It's going to be a tight game.
Jones' side will face Sale Sharks or Montpellier in the semi-finals if they overcome David Humphreys' side at Kingsholm.
Dragons reached last season's semi-finals, where they were beaten by Edinburgh, who lost to Gloucester in the final.
"We're proud and delighted to get through to the quarter-finals for the second year on the trot," Jones added.
"We're really enjoying the competition and we play a lot of good rugby in it.
"There's no better challenge than going to Kingsholm to prove to ourselves and the rest of Europe that we are a good team and we've got good players.
"But until then we've got a lot of rugby to play."
Dragons return to Pro12 action on Friday when they host second-placed Leinster at Rodney Parade.
Jones expects a reaction from his side, who are 11th in the Pro12, following their 38-5 loss to Sale Sharks in the European Challenge.
"We're keen to make up lost ground," Jones said.
"There's a long way to go yet in this league and we've got a lot of rugby to play and we look forward to it."
It's not uncommon. Questionable punctuality amongst footballers when reporters await is very much the norm.
The apology and the excuse that follows are most definitely not.
"Sorry," says 18-year-old Kieran Tierney. "I had to phone my mum and tell her I was going to be late home."
It's an unexpected start but family is a key theme in the intriguing chat that follows.
As he takes his seat opposite me and looks out with pride at his place of work, it soon becomes clear that the Celtic defender is a rare breed of teenager - thankful for what he's got and clear about why he is where he is.
Just a few months short of his 19th birthday, he find himself in the Scotland squad.
Born on the Isle of Man, he moved to Motherwell as an infant - the Lanarkshire accent that flows, somewhat nervously, from a mouth brimming with teeth braces is unmistakeable.
"My mum told me about it - she had been checking the internet as the squad came out - I couldn't believe it," he said.
"To jump straight from the under-19s to the full squad was unexpected but it's just about the experience and any game time will be a bonus."
International recognition caps a remarkable ascent since he made his first-team debut against St Johnstone in May last year.
Any notion of Tierney easing into life as a footballer has long since gone.
"I wouldn't know how to sum up the past year - the word is crazy," he says.
"Crazy how fast it has been. From last year playing under-20s football to this year playing European football has just been crazy."
He's been one of the main breakthrough success stories for Celtic under Ronny Deila - a genuine home-grown talent who has wrestled the left-back position from the seasoned international Emilio Iziguirre, and made it his own.
He's a dependable defender, a successful scrapper with a dash of finesse and the fans love him for it.
This modern-day local hero, though, has a modern-day story to tell about his trip to the top.
Makeshift games on the cobbled backstreets of tenement-lined towns have given way to 4G surfaces and regimented early morning rises.
Tierney is a product Celtic's football academy at St Ninian's High School in Kirkintilloch, where football and education live as one.
"I joined the school when I was 13," he explains. "I was getting up at 6am, doing training then all your school work and then having to train again at night.
"It was tough but a great experience - you're training twice a day and getting the best training in the country so it all benefits you.
"Everyone has the same chance at that age but it's not until you get older that some fade out of the game and get involved in the wrong things. For me, it's always been about the football."
The mother who received his earlier apology is one of the main reasons for his drive and determination.
When discussing football, he's as guarded as most current players - the press officer's steely stare behind me doesn't help - but there's a genuine freedom and warmth when he's talking about those closest to him.
"I like to make my family proud when I go out there," he says looking out thoughtfully once again towards the Parkhead pitch.
"Obviously, it's great for me too but my family are all Celtic fans and they're all proud of me so that makes me happy.
"My dad drove me back and forward to training for years and my mum does absolutely everything for me."
He won't entertain any notion of having it made it to the top though and there's a refreshing humility to his manner.
The surprisingly normal haircut, the lack of 'bling' and absence from the front pages appear to provide the evidence that he's so far dealt well with other distractions.
"I have always had the right people round me - my family and my real friends and they wanted me to do the right thing," he continues.
"So they were never going to lead me astray - I'm thankful for that and I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for them.
"I've always been a pretty plain guy. People point to the fact that I wear black boots but that's always just the way I've been."
He definitely falls into the no-nonsense category.
To underline the point, it's not until he rises to leave that I notice he's been chatting away all this time in a club t-shirt as I shivered under a winter coat and scarf.
Mummy's boy indeed...
The Met Office has warned motorists to expect "difficult driving conditions" but said the heaviest and most persistent rain is expected to fall on high ground.
The warning has been issued from 12:00 GMT on Saturday to 23:55 on Sunday.
It follows a warning of icy conditions on Friday morning.
The conditions led to a number of accidents on the roads, including on the A467 in Newbridge, Caerphilly county.
The weekend rain warning covers Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Powys, Wrexham and Ceredigion.
Aaron Burns flicked in to put the Blues ahead but David Armstrong headed in the equaliser on the restart before he was sent off for two yellows on 55 minutes.
Linfield capitalised on the dismissal and Waterworth fired home twice before heading in to complete his hat-trick.
Adam Sally added the fifth as the Blues stay top on goal difference.
The game turned on Armstrong's exit with Dungannon good value for their leveller just seconds into the second half.
The visitors were first to threaten with Sean Ward clearing Cormac Burke's shot off the line.
Waterworth fizzed an effort wide before Burns scored his fourth goal of the campaign, hooking in on 18 minutes from Kirk Millar's corner.
Paul McElroy blasted over for Dungannon and Millar side-footed wide before Armstrong's bullet header was blocked on the line by Jamie Mulgrew.
Stephen Lowry rifled just wide before the break and the second half was less than a minute old when Armstrong netted against his former club with his header looping past keeper Ross Glendinning.
Swifts keeper Andy Coleman tipped Mark Haughey's header onto the bar before Armstrong picked up his second booking in six minutes.
Linfield moved in front two minutes later courtesy of Waterworth's turn and shot from Millar's cut-back.
Millar saw a shot deflected wide before his cushioned volleyed struck the bar as the Blues seized control.
Waterworth netted at the back-post in the 82nd minute and secured the treble with a close-range header six minutes later.
Substitute Salley also headed home with ease in added time as Warren Feeney's side made it three wins from three games.
The 69-year-old sports promoter quit in April after the O's had failed to pay staff their wages for March.
His return comes a week after Nigel Travis' takeover of the National League side from ex-owner Francesco Becchetti.
"I have always been a fan and right now I couldn't be any happier for Orient as a club," said Hearn.
"I think it is another statement of how well Nigel and his team have started to turn this club around already."
Previously, all foreigners had to leave their mobiles at the border and collect them when they left.
Visitors can now buy a SIM card at the airport, which will let them make international calls. But they cannot make local calls or go online.
Most North Koreans have limited or no access to the internet.
China's state news agency, Xinhua, said the changes had been in place since 7 January this year.
A report of phones being allowed in came from a China-based tour group, Young Pioneer Tours.
A spokesman said they had been preparing to hand over their mobiles as they entered North Korea, but a border guard simply asked whether the devices were equipped with GPS and then indicated they should carry them through regardless of the answer.
"He just motioned for us to put them in our bags. Zero explanation," said the company's managing director, Gareth Johnson.
Mr Johnson said his North Korean counterparts later confirmed that this was "a new policy".
An Associated Press report out of Pyongyang said the SIM cards would also allow foreigners to contact foreign embassies in Pyongyang and international hotels.
North Korea's mobile network is run by a joint state-owned and Egyptian company, Koryolink.
An Egyptian employee of Koryolink told Xinhua the new policy was a result of talks between the company and North Korean officials.
He said internet services would soon be made available to foreign visitors, adding that there was no technical issue preventing this.
But he dismissed speculation that it was connected to the recent visit to North Korea by the head of Google, Eric Schmidt.
Mr Schmidt visited North Korea in early January, though after the new policy is reported to have come into effect.
He urged North Korea to end its self-imposed isolation and allow its citizens to use the internet.
It is believed that only the elite in the country have access to the internet - few people have access to a computer and those that do can usually only access a domestic web service and not the internet.
The 35-year-old England international was sin-binned for the challenge on Sutcliffe a minute into Friday's 25-14 Super League victory over the Rhinos.
Sutcliffe, 22, was taken off with concussion and was unable to return.
Westwood was also fined £300 and will start his suspension by missing Thursday's derby at Widnes.
Back-rower Westwood was charged by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel with a grade D charge, which carried a ban of between three and five games, and entered a guilty plea at a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.
Leigh forward Gareth Hock, 33, was also handed a one-match ban after admitting using foul and abusive language towards a match official and will miss his side's trip to Salford on Good Friday.
Catalans prop Sam Moa, St Helens centre Mark Percival and Leeds centre Jimmy Keinhorst will be free to play in their sides' respective fixtures against Huddersfield, Wigan and Hull FC after submitting early guilty pleas to grade A offences.
Moa was charged with raising the knee in a tackle, Percival with disputing the referee's decision and Keinhorst with dangerous contact.
They were found inside a plastic bag at a children's park on Rhosddu Road by a police community support officer.
They are now in the care of the RSPCA and are said to be "doing well".
RSPCA inspector Rachael Davies said: "It's so shocking to think someone would dump these poor animals like rubbish."
With no CCTV in the area, the animal charity is appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
In August last year, ANA said it would pay some $25m (2.5bn yen; £16m) for a stake in the Burmese carrier.
ANA Holdings is the parent company of Japan's All Nippon Airways.
In a statement, ANA said rising competition in Myanmar was one reason for cancelling the deal.
"Competition between new and old airlines in Myanmar has intensified," ANA said, "bringing rapid changes in the external environment, and calling into question the assumptions made at the time of the original decision."
It also said it had been unable to reach an agreement on capital participation with AWA.
The deal was part of ANA's plans to expand its business internationally.
At the time, it would have been the first investment in a Myanmar-based commercial airline by a foreign airline.
AWA, which is based in Yangon, was launched in 2011 and operates domestic flights within Myanmar.
It also offers flights to Chiang Mai in Thailand and has plans to further expand its international service.
Since political reforms have led to the easing of international sanctions in Myanmar, many foreign firms have looked to the country for business opportunities.
After a 12-year hiatus, All Nippon Airways resumed its service between Japan and Myanmar in October 2012.
The kick capped a second-half comeback by the Wolves, who trailed 16-10 at the break, and lifts them two points behind joint-leaders Hull FC and Wigan.
Three tries - from Ryan Atkins, Kevin Penny and Brad Dwyer - were added to by Gidley's four successful kicks.
Julian Bousquet and Fouad Yaha crossed for Catalans, who drop to fourth.
Catalans might have sneaked it, having streaked the length of the field on the counter-attack, only for the try to be disallowed because hooker Eloi Pelissier had caught Wolves playmaker Gidley high as he put a kick up in the Dragons end.
With England coach Wayne Bennett in attendance on his whistle-stop tour of the United Kingdom while his club side Brisbane Broncos have a National Rugby League bye week, there was an opportunity for players such as Ben Currie, Joe Westerman and Daryl Clark to impress.
Having seen just 19 points in the two previous games he had watched, Bennett will have found this a step-up in quality, as third faced fourth in a ferociously contested game.
That said, it was two Australians in Chris Sandow and Gidley who had the quality to unlock Catalans, providing the killer passes for Atkins' and Penny's tries, while Dwyer's effort was down to his own sniping.
Pelissier had earlier teed up Bousquet with a short ball on a beautiful line, while teenage half-back Lucas Albert showed his class to pop a kick in behind for Yaha's score.
Not even Pat Richards' place kicking was enough though, as three tries to two and Gidley's cool penalty eventually separated the two title hopefuls.
Warrington: Ratchford; Russell, R. Evans, Atkins, Penny; Gidley, Sandow; Hill, Clark, Sims, Currie, Hughes, Westerman.
Replacements: Dwyer, Westwood, Bailey, Cox.
Catalans Dragons: Escare; Broughton, Gigot, Richards, Yaha; Carney, Albert, Baitieri, Stewart, Casty, Maria, Pelissier, Bousquet.
Replacements: Bosc, Margalet, Navarrete, Dezaria.
Referee: Chris Campbell (RFL)
Chelsea Cameron's parents were in the grip of their addiction when they missed her younger brother's first day at school and the day she was made head girl.
But in a heartfelt letter she has posted on her blog, the 18-year-old from Dundee does not criticise her mother and father for their absence.
Instead, she thanks them for teaching her to be independent, ambitious and to steer clear of drugs.
In one striking passage, she wrote: "Parents, both of you, thank you for teaching me that taking drugs ruins lives, breaks families apart and gives no one a quality of life worth living.
"I'll be eternally grateful for this lesson you have taught me which has a message which has stuck by me until this day and always will, I have never and will never have a desire to take harmful substances through your example."
The letter was published in the same week that Ms Cameron's father, Alexander, was jailed for a series of crimes at Dundee Sheriff Court.
Her mother, Tammy, told the Dundee Evening Telegraph that she was proud of her "amazing daughter".
She said: "No child should have to go through what Chelsea did and live that kind of life.
"I am ashamed and upset at my behaviour and am so sorry and so proud of her."
Ms Cameron said she had a "relatively normal" upbringing but she was aware that heroin and diazepam were a big part of her parents' lives.
She stopped living with them when she was 14, and instead stayed with various family and friends until she got her own home last October.
Despite her problems, the teenager excelled at school and discovered a passion for languages.
She was one of a group of pupils from Menzieshill High School, Dundee, who travelled to Uganda to carry out charity work.
And last year, as head girl, she spoke in front of hundreds of people at the school's prize giving ceremony.
Now she has landed an apprenticeship in administration.
She told the BBC Scotland news website that a teacher once told her class that anyone who was exposed to drug abuse as a child was "absolutely certain" to follow that path.
From that point, she was determined to make a success of her life.
"Society wasn't going to tell me what my future was going to be," she said. "Someone else's choices weren't going to determine my future."
Her positive outlook is reflected in the letter to her unemployed parents, in which she thanks them for teaching her to be ambitious.
She wrote: "Your example showed me that no ambition for education, work or any type of success is very harmful and leads to not a lot of self worth.
"Your example showed me that life is all about choices and that I didn't need to make the same ones you did."
The teenager also reveals that she hid the truth of her family life from her school friends until she was in the third or fourth year of high school.
She added: "Life is not sunshine and rainbows and thank you for teaching me that life is unfair, people disappoint you and there's sometimes nothing you can do about that. A lesson well learnt from the both of you."
She ends the letter: "I hope one day that you'll wake up and realise there is so much more the world has to offer you guys and when that day comes, please come to find me so we can enjoy life together.
"I'll show you some nice restaurants I like to go to and if you're lucky I might take you to Germany one day. Until then, I'll dream of what my life would be like with parents to enjoy it with."
Craig Allison was found dead on Sunday morning by a member of the public next to the River Kelvin in Maryhill.
His death is being treated as unexplained, but a post-mortem examination will take place to establish the exact cause, police said.
The 22-year-old, from Ruchill, had been fishing in the area the previous day. Officers have appealed for information.
Mr Allison was found in an area known locally as the "Slushie", close to Cowal Road at Blairbuie Drive.
Det Insp Jim Bradley said: "We know that he had gone fishing on Saturday afternoon with friends who we have since spoken to. However, his friends left him there late Saturday night, early Sunday morning.
"At this time we do not know what happened to Craig and until that is established, I would appeal to anyone who saw him in the area to get in touch.
"Craig, who is white, has light brown hair and was wearing a grey t-shirt with a white collar and white trim on the sleeve, grey jogging bottoms and blue and white Adidas trainers."
Mr Brown said the union was in "mortal danger" unless the UK government considered modifying their plans for English Votes for English Laws.
The Conservatives should also change their position on welfare top-up powers for the Scottish parliament, he said.
The UK government said it wanted to bring the "whole country together".
Mr Brown, speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, said he did not believe the break-up of the UK was inevitable, but feared the damage already done could be "irreversible".
"Now, almost a year on from the referendum we can detect three potentially fatal flaws in the Conservative government's approach to Scotland and the Union," he said.
"The most immediate is the refusal to grant the Scottish Parliament full top-up powers on welfare as Shadow Scottish Secretary Ian Murray has demanded in defiance of the recommendations of the Smith Commission and the vow.
"Second, the Conservative policy of English votes for English laws would create two classes of MPs - the majority who vote at all times and the Scots who are excluded from key votes on some issues - making the UK home to the first elected body in the world to treat one of its constituent parts - Scotland - as 'half in, half out' of its law-making process."
The UK government is currently clarifying its plans to give England's MPs a veto over English laws, with a vote delayed till September.
Mr Brown said the third flaw was the Conservative's "readiness" to "turn on the tap of English nationalism".
A UK government spokeswoman said: "We want all the parts of our United Kingdom to work together, with better inter-governmental relations between the UK government and the devolved governments.
"We are delivering on our commitments to give more power and responsibility for the Scottish Parliament, within a strong United Kingdom.
"This is a simple issue of fairness within the UK, that makes sure that representatives from each nation are able to have a say on legislation that is specific to them."
Government accountants are concerned about a lavish James Bond-themed party thrown for Sweden's spy agency, Sapo.
Sweden's Dagens Nyheter (DN) news website says the party for 1,000 Sapo staff in June last year featured casino tables, a gala dinner and big band.
But questions are being asked about the bill: 5.3m kronor (£508,000; $804,000).
The head of Britain's domestic intelligence service MI5, Jonathan Evans, was among the guests at the bash, DN reports.
Famous celebrities and comedians entertained the partygoers.
Such expenditure was controversial because in recent years Sapo, Sweden's police intelligence agency, has been through a big reorganisation involving budget cuts.
Sapo General Anders Thornberg admitted the organisation had made a mistake with a VAT (sales tax) claim after the event, DN reported. Sapo claimed 974,000 kronor in VAT refunds, exceeding the allowance.
Sapo should also have invited competitive bids for the event, under Sweden's public spending rules, but that was not done.
The measurement was made by the New Horizons probe which is just about to flyby the dwarf world.
The result means it is confirmed as the largest object yet detected in the outer zone of the Solar System known as the Kuiper Belt.
Nasa's probe is set to return a treasure trove of images and data when it sweeps past Pluto.
It is likely that in that data will be information that can further refine the object's size.
The new measurement has a number of implications. The first is that it makes Pluto slightly less dense than we thought, meaning the fraction of ice in its interior is probably higher than we had recognised.
The measurement also changes some of the expected properties of the atmosphere, given that the sphere it envelops is now considered to be larger. For modellers, it suggests the troposphere, the lowest layer, is a bit shallower.
But perhaps the main consequence from this result is what it does for Pluto fans, because it finally settles the debate over which is the bigger - Pluto or Eris?
The latter's discovery in 2005, with its comparable girth, was partly responsible for getting Pluto demoted from full planet status in 2006. However, this new result indicates that Pluto really does have the upper-hand, if only by about 30km in terms of diameter.
One of the reasons for past uncertainty has been the presence of that atmosphere at Pluto - something Eris does not share in such abundance. So, while scientists could be much more sure of Eris, Pluto's diameter has jumped about, depending on the assumptions made.
But New Horizons' fast-approaching cameras have put the arguments to bed.
"Before New Horizons, we had a range from 1,150km in radius, up to a little bit north of 1,200km. And what we found is that Pluto is almost at the top of that range," said Prof Alan Stern, the probe's principal investigator.
The probe will pass just 12,500km above the dwarf planet on Tuesday at 11:50 GMT (12:50 BST; 07:50 EDT).
The spacecraft will be out of radio contact with Earth when that happens.
All mission controllers can do is wait for the signal from New Horizons confirming it has survived the close encounter and has all the data it was commanded to gather. This message should come through at 00:53 GMT Wednesday (01:53 BST; 20:53 EDT Tuesday).
Glen Fountain, the New Horizons project manager, has told his team to stay focused but to try also to soak up some of the atmosphere.
"I've told the team they really need to be living the time," he said in a briefing to reporters.
"I mean, how often do you get a chance like this, to realise that you are participating in something much larger than yourself?"
New Horizons continues to downlink data on approach to Pluto. Selected pictures are being processed for public release.
Each new release brings surface features into sharper focus.
The latest postings include views of Pluto's major moon, Charon.
Seen clearly in these new pictures are huge chasms and craters, as well as the moon's so-far-unexplained dark pole.
Scientists say this has been one of the major surprises of the encounter so far, as has the very contrasting appearance of Charon and Pluto.
The BBC will be screening a special Sky At Night programme called Pluto Revealed on Monday 20 July, which will recap all the big moments from the New Horizons flyby.

IRA gunman Seamus McElwaine was shot dead by the SAS in April 1986.
He was preparing to ambush a British Army patrol near Roslea, Fermanagh.
At his funeral two days later, Martin McGuinness described him as a "highly intelligent volunteer".
Mr McGuinness said McElwaine was a "freedom fighter murdered by a British terrorist".
He went on to say that he was a "saint", when compared to Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.
Mrs Foster said she believes it was Seamus McElwaine who had attempted to murder her father, John Kelly, in 1979, based on information provided to her family by police.
Speaking to the BBC's Spotlight programme, she said, "It is quite difficult. If you talk to Martin McGuinness now, he will say that unionists aren't the enemy, the enemy is poverty, the enemy is unemployment.
"And that's fine, but it doesn't take away from the fact that he thought it appropriate to speak at Seamus McElwaine's funeral - a man who had been responsible for murdering many people in County Fermanagh."
She added that despite her personal difficulties, she would work with the deputy first minister because: "The past is the past".
"What I want to do is to build a future that everybody in Northern Ireland can ascribe to," she said.
In a statement on Tuesday, Mr McGuinness said: "There will always be more than one narrative to any conflict.
"There is hurt on all sides and all of us - including the media - have a responsibility to recognise that if we are to consolidate peace and build genuine reconciliation.
"That is what I am committed to and I intend to stay positive in that work," the deputy first minister added.
"People like myself, Arlene Foster and all politicians have a huge role to play by giving positive leadership in the work of reconciliation and coming to terms with the past."

The company recently opened a plant in Germany and says further expansion of manufacturing and buying operations might have to be abroad.
It blamed a "severe" skills shortage in the UK and said that Brexit could potentially make that situation worse by restricting the movement of workers.
Lush said 20% of its UK workforce are not UK citizens.
European members of staff "felt unwelcome and understandably upset" by the vote in favour of Brexit, Lush said in comments accompanying its latest trading statement.
Staff that wanted to leave the UK have been offered jobs at its operations in Germany, and 80 have taken up that offer.
The company, which is known for its fizzing bath bombs and soap said: "Lush has flourished from the freedom of movement of people and goods, and now we face uncertainty in both of these areas.
"The negotiation of new trade agreements could take years, but the risk is that we will be paying more import duties across the business.
"Having opened our new Germany manufacturing facility during the year we will be reviewing other options for growth outside of the UK."
Lush has 931 stores in 49 countries, with manufacturing facilities in seven countries.
The Lush plant in Poole, Dorset currently supplies 20 countries.
In its financial year, which ended 30 June, Lush reported sales of £723m, up 26% on the previous year. Pre-tax profit was £43.2m, a 76% jump.
Last year the company donated more than £10m to charities and other good causes.
The company's current financial year got off to a strong start. Sales in the six months to 31 December were up 22%.
The 29-year-old only joined Atletico last summer from Bayern Munich and scored 20 goals in 43 games for the Spanish side.
He has agreed a four-year deal with the beaten Champions League finalists, who said the fee could rise to £15m.
"I like Juventus and I like the city [Turin]. I hope I will be happy here. I will fight for my new team," he said.
It is the third time in four years Mandzukic has joined a side straight after they lost the Champions League final, following his 2012 move to Bayern and last summer's switch to Atletico.
Juventus striker Carlos Tevez, their top scorer last season with 20 Serie A strikes, has been linked with a move away from the Italian champions.
Argentine legend Diego Maradona hinted recently he could rejoin Boca Juniors.

The butterfly was brought back to the Daneway Banks site at Sapperton near Stroud 16 years ago.
Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust heralded the reintroduction as "incredibly successful" and launched a £50,000 bid last year to buy the reserve.
The trust said the chance to own it was "too tempting to ignore".
Roger Mortlock, trust chief executive, described the reserve as "one of our most treasured and diverse limestone grassland sites".
"We had been managing the site for over 40 years, so the opportunity to secure its future was too tempting to ignore," he said.
According to the trust, the reserve supports one of the largest known colonies of the large blue butterfly and it is estimated that up to 2,000 large blue butterflies may have emerged last year.
It is a stark difference from last century when numbers fell so dramatically that it was declared extinct in the UK in 1979.
A project was launched in the 1980s and 1990s to bring it back using larvae and eggs from Sweden to a few sites in the UK.
Following Saturday's 4-0 home defeat against Bournemouth, Robins, 44, met with the board and it was agreed he would leave his post.
A club statement read: "Mark and the directors all agreed it would be in the interests of all parties to part company."
Former Coventry boss Robins took over from Simon Grayson in February 2013.
He helped the Terriers avoid relegation in his first season and guided the club to a 17th-place finish last term.
However, the club won just two of their last 13 league games in a 2013-14 campaign that finished with a total of 23 defeats.
Following Saturday's loss at the John Smith's Stadium, the former Rotherham and Barnsley boss was jeered by the fans.
Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle commented: "Mark has put his all into the job over the past 16 months and has made a big contribution to the club."
Assistant manager Steve Thompson will take charge of the team during Sunday's training session, along with first-team coach Steve Eyre.
Thompson, 49, joined Huddersfield from Blackpool in June this year and Eyre was promoted the same month following a shake-up of Robins' backroom staff in May.
The Hammers took the lead inside 10 minutes when Carroll lost his marker to head in a Manuel Lanzini corner.
The hosts hit back with a well-worked move that ended with Cristhian Stuani tapping in Calum Chambers' low cross.
Carroll pounced after Victor Valdes tipped away Michail Antonio's low effort to give West Ham the lead at the break.
Boro threw on January signings Patrick Bamford and Rudy Gestede, but the Hammers added to their lead on the break late on through Jonathan Calleri.
It means Middlesbrough's winless run in the top flight now stretches to five games.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic said Carroll had suffered whiplash after scoring an acrobatic overhead kick last week against Crystal Palace but, despite taking a couple of days off training during the week, the powerful centre forward looked sharp at the Riverside.
He only touched the ball twice in the Middlesbrough box in the 67 minutes before he was taken off, but found the net on both occasions - and he has now scored five goals since his return from injury in early December.
With Dimitri Payet left out of Bilic's match-day squad amid rumours he is set to leave London Stadium, Carroll offers the Hammers a very different threat.
The former Newcastle and Liverpool man won 70% of his duels against Boro, only bettered in the West Ham starting XI by captain Mark Noble, and his aerial prowess also proved key to the visitors when defending set-pieces.
Middlesbrough's struggles in front of goal have been well documented this season, and they headed into the game having scored the fewest in the top four leagues apart from Oldham.
But Aitor Karanka's side can feel aggrieved at not taking something from this one. They enjoyed over 60% possession and delivered 27 crosses to West Ham's eight from open play - only capitalising on one of those.
Karanka has bolstered his squad's attacking threat with the January signings of Bamford and Gestede, the former scoring 17 goals during his last spell at the Riverside in the Championship, but neither had time to have an impact on the game.
It was winger Adama Traore who proved the biggest nuisance for West Ham, first down the right-hand side with the on-loan Chambers and then on the left when he linked up with George Friend.
Karanka said after the game the 20-year-old has "an amazing future", but he will surely hope to keep him for at least another transfer window as Boro look to avoid relegation.
Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka: "As a manager I cannot be more proud of my players than I am now. They have done every single thing. We win as a team, lose as a team. We have to work on the last 10, 15 minutes."
On whether keeper Victor Valdes was at fault for Andy Carroll's second goal: "Victor Valdes is having an amazing season, helping us a lot.
"He is one of the best keepers in the world and us as a club have to be proud to have players like him."
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "It was a good week for us after Palace, the confidence we played with, and we used that momentum to come here and put out a strong performance and get three massive points."
On Carroll's goalscoring form: "Week in, week out he is a brilliant player. Not only goals, he makes an impact with his presence. His work rate is quality and he is unbeatable in the box. It is very hard to stop him.
"He loves it. He gives you everything. Hopefully he is going to stay fit."

The lawsuit claims that Spotify has violated at least two patents owned by PacketVideo that cover methods of streaming music over data networks.
The legal action comes barely two weeks after Spotify launched a US version of its music streaming service.
Spotify said it would "strongly contest" the claims PacketVideo made in its lawsuit.
Court papers that kicked off the legal action were filed by PacketVideo lawyers on 28 July. The patents in question were filed in 1995 and became the property of PacketVideo when it bought Swiss-based SDC AG in 2007.
PacketVideo has filed legal papers in San Diego and the Netherlands. It said the lawsuit had been filed following attempts to "amicably resolve" the dispute over the patents outside the court.
"PacketVideo has a strong intellectual property portfolio, and will take any necessary action needed to protect its intellectual property and prevent the misuse of its patents," said Joel Espelien, PacketVideo's general counsel in a statement.
In response, Spotify said in a statement that its success was due to its "highly innovative, proprietary hybrid technology that incorporates peer-to-peer technology".
"PacketVideo is claiming that by distributing music over the internet, Spotify (and by inference any other similar digital music service) has infringed one of the patents that has previously been acquired by PacketVideo," it added. "Spotify is strongly contesting PacketVideo's claim."
The lawsuit is the latest in a growing number of patent wrangles that have set tech firms against each other. Apple, Nokia, HTC, Google, Oracle, Samsung, Electronic Arts, AT&T and many others are all fighting or have launched, sometimes simultaneously, legal action over patents.
In addition, many firms who claim to own patents but have never turned them into working code or gadgets are also suing tech firms for infringing on their intellectual property.
The situation led Kent Walker, Google's top lawyer, to decry the "explosion in patent litigation" which "threatens to stifle innovation". | A French judge has issued an international arrest warrant for the son of the president of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea, reports say.

Music service Spotify is being sued in the US and Europe for allegedly violating patents held by PacketVideo. | 18,832,045 | 15,031 | 1,000 | true |
53%
of men; 41% backed Clinton
42%
of women; 54% voted for Clinton
58% of white voters - 37% backed Clinton
8% of black voters - 88% voted for Clinton
29% of Hispanics - 65% supported Clinton
Much of the narrative ahead of the election had been that Mr Trump was supported by angry, white men. To get an insight into which groups actually voted for him, you can look at the exit poll conducted across the country by Edison Research for the National Election Pool, a consortium of ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News.
It is very difficult to get a genuinely representative sample of how more than 120 million people have voted. It is a big survey - of almost 25,000 voters - and they are the best figures available, but they should be used with caution.
It throws up some odd results, such as that 10% of people who support the idea of a wall along the Mexican border nonetheless voted for Mrs Clinton, while 5% of people who thought the next president should continue the policies of Barack Obama voted for Mr Trump.
Bear in mind that the proportions are unlikely to add up to 100%, because not everybody answered all the questions and there were other candidates standing in the election, who received about 5% of the votes.
The poll suggests that 53% of men voted for Mr Trump, with 41% voting for Mrs Clinton - those proportions are almost exactly reversed for women.
Among white voters (who made up 70% of voters), Mr Trump won 58% to Mrs Clinton's 37%, while the Democratic candidate won the support of a huge majority of black voters - 88% to Mr Trump's 8% - and Hispanic voters - 65% to his 29%.
Looking specifically at white women, they favoured Mr Trump, with 53% supporting him compared with 43% for Mrs Clinton.
It has been widely reported that the 29% of Hispanic voters who supported Mr Trump was greater than the 27% who voted for the Republican candidate Mitt Romney in 2012, despite Mr Trump's comments about Mexicans and plans to build a wall on the US's southern border.
Mrs Clinton had the majority of voters on lower incomes, with 52% of those on incomes below $50,000 (£40,000) a year supporting her compared with 41% voting for her opponent. Among those earning more than $50,000, it was 49% to Mr Trump compared with 47% to Mrs Clinton.
Mrs Clinton's support among those on incomes below $30,000 was well down on President Obama's in 2012. He had 63% support from that group compared with 35% voting for Mitt Romney, while Mrs Clinton had 53% support to Mr Trump's 41%.
There was also a big swing for voters without a high school diploma, with Mr Trump leading 51% to Mrs Clinton's 45%. Four years ago, President Obama had 64% support from this group compared with Mitt Romney's 35%.
Mr Trump won the rural vote by 62% to 34% and the suburban vote by 50% to 45%, while Mrs Clinton won the urban vote by 59% to 35%.
And he had a clear majority among those aged 45 and over, while Mrs Clinton was more popular with younger voters.
There were stories before the election of Republicans planning to vote for Mrs Clinton because they did not like their own candidate, but the exit poll actually suggested that 7% of people who identified themselves as Republicans had voted for Mrs Clinton, while 9% of those who identified as Democrats had voted for Mr Trump.
Of people who gave their opinion of the candidate they voted for, 41% strongly favoured them, 32% had reservations and 25% said they disliked the opponents.
Also among the slightly odd findings of the poll, 18% of respondents who felt that Mr Trump was not qualified to be president nonetheless voted for him, as did 20% of those who felt he did not have the necessary temperament.
And 2% of respondents who said they would feel scared if Mr Trump won, still voted for him, compared with 1% who voted for Mrs Clinton, despite saying they would be scared if she won. | Donald Trump has beaten Hillary Clinton in the race to be president of the United States. | 37,922,587 | 908 | 19 | false |
Prosecutors said Declan Gallagher also has ties to criminals in Spain and Holland.
The 32-year-old, originally from Londonderry but now living in Greater Manchester, was refused bail on 17 drugs-related charges.
They span a period between September 2013 and October 2014.
The alleged offences are linked to an investigation into a series of cannabis and cocaine seizures.
Mr Gallagher, a former driving instructor, is accused of multiple counts of conspiracy to supply and being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis.
Setting out his alleged role, prosecuting counsel said: "There are separate gangs, for example one would be related to a loyalist group and another to a republican group.
"Whilst they have no contact with one another, these people all have contact back to Gallagher."
The case against him was said to involve telecommunications evidence, surveillance and CCTV footage.
The prosecutor said opposition to his release was based on the risk of further offences being committed.
"Police say he's the principal member of the gang, that he has suffered a very significant financial loss and that Gallagher will be determined to recoup that," she told the court.
Further fears were expressed that he may attempt to flee.
"He has connections with criminal gang members in Spain and he also has criminal links to Holland," she said.
Due to reporting restrictions imposed over fears for his personal security, Mr Gallagher's exact address cannot be published.
His barrister argued, however, that there was no substance to the prosecution allegations.
"What has been presented is nothing more than a lot of smoke and mirrors," he said.
"This is a case really of 'nudge-nudge, wink-wink' in terms of real evidence."
He also said that Mr Gallagher's domestic setting and lifestyle did not fit with the portrayal of him as a "Mr Big".
The lawyer said: "There were no signs of opulence in that home, there were no large sums of cash.
"Details of his bank account have been followed up and he's not linked to any bank account that contains large sums of money."
Refusing bail, the judge said there was a risk Mr Gallagher may not comply with release conditions.
The judge added: "These are extremely serious charges, with a UK and European aspect." | A man accused of leading a gang trying to import drugs worth millions into Northern Ireland has links to loyalists and republicans, a court has been told. | 30,453,774 | 527 | 36 | false |
The teenager, from Renfrew near Glasgow, is so worried about his appearance that he photoshops all of his online profile pictures.
Almost a third of 2,000 UK teenagers, polled for a body confidence campaign, avoid activities like PE because of fears about their looks.
The Be Real Campaign says schools have a key role in combating body anxiety.
Fears about they way they look are "having a profoundly negative effect on a significant number of young people in the UK", says the report.
Some young people are able to reject the pressure to look perfect but "those who cannot often suffer in silence, too afraid to share their insecurities with others... a sense of hopelessness often dominates these individuals", it warns.
Josh told the researchers that he had already had to leave a school "because of bullying and it was all because I was fat".
He said the trend for plus size models had not taken off in men's fashion, adding: "I genuinely don't know one big male model."
And he believes a lot of the pressure to conform to a certain type stems from images in the media "celebrities, plastic surgery, the Kardashians".
"See the guys in my year, a lot of them are like tanks with six packs.
"A lot of guys get their eyebrows done, including me and I photoshop every one of my profile pictures. I get rid of my spots, I get rid of my double chin and it genuinely takes me 25 minutes to make one."
According to the research more than half (52%) of 11 to 16-year-olds regularly worry about their looks - 60% of girls and 43% of boys.
Despite these pressures, fewer than half (48%) of the young people surveyed said they had discussed body confidence in lessons.
Be Real has launched a toolkit to help schools promote pupils' body confidence.
"Evidence shows that schools are uniquely placed to support young people to hold positive discussions around body image with their peers and help reduce the negative impact low body confidence can have," said Denise Hatton, YMCA chief executive for England and Wales.
Julie Hunter, assistant head teacher at Bradon Forest School in Wiltshire, said the toolkit could help teachers "to use accurate language so they're confident when delivering these lessons".
"Equally it is vital that we make students aware of this issue," Ms Hunter added. | "I downright refuse to do PE," admits 16-year-old Josh who believes he is fat and fears bullying. | 38,642,826 | 531 | 28 | false |
More than 200,000 people were killed when an underwater earthquake set off massive waves across the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004.
"While Indonesia bore the brunt of the waves' whiplash, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand too suffered enormously," the Deccan Herald says.
Papers say that people who lost their loved ones in India's coastal areas are still continuing efforts to rebuild their lives.
"Much of the misery in India befell the coastal fishing hamlets in Nagapattinam and Cuddalore districts in Tamil Nadu (southern state). These areas lay centred on the path of the tsunami," the Hindustan Times reports.
While normalcy has been restored, the landscape in these areas "sometimes points to the tragedy's legacy".
"Thatched huts have given way to housing clusters named Tsunami Colony or Tsunami Village, fishing markets have been built further inland and sea walls have turned the once-bustling beaches dreary and barren," the paper says.
The paper reports about a couple in Nagapattinam who lost both their children in the tsunami.
"I had just washed clothes and putting out them out to dry. When I turned around, my home was gone. We never found the bodies," the paper quotes the father as saying.
Most papers, meanwhile, feel India was not prepared for a natural disaster of such scale in 2004, but agree that precautionary measures have now improved.
"As it marks the 10th anniversary of the devastating tsunami …India is looking back with satisfaction in having created a tsunami warning system that has practically ruled out any large-scale loss of human lives by any similar event in the future," The Indian Express says.
The paper says India has set up a warning system to detect tsunami.
"This is done by Bottom Pressure Recorders (BPRs) that India has installed in the ocean about 3,500 metres below the surface near the fault-lines where earthquakes are generated. The BPRs record the pressure of water the above them," it explains.
The Deccan Herald agrees that "state-of-the-art" tsunami warning system is in place but warns "serious gaps exist in the last mile - tsunami alerts sent by emails, SMS, etc do not reach coastal populations that do not access such technologies".
Encouraging more frequent mock drills, the paper warns against government's "lax approach to natural disasters".
In some other news, many government officials did not get a holiday on Christmas, which was also marked as a Good Governance Day.
"With many events planned across the nation, it turned out to be a working Christmas for mantris (ministers) and bureaucrats," the NDTV website says.
The BJP-led government announced Good Governance Day to mark Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's 90th birthday.

Some 2,018 babies were involved in such cases at birth or soon afterwards in 2013, compared with 802 in 2008, the University of Lancaster report said.
About half were taken from mothers with other children in care. A third were from women who became mothers as teens.
Most babies would have been taken into care at hospital, the report said.
The figures, compiled for the first time using original family court records, showed a total of 13,248 babies were taken into care between 2007 and 2014 at birth or shortly after.
Dr Karen Broadhurst, who has been leading the research at the University of Lancaster, described the rise as "huge", adding: "We know generally there's an increase in children coming into care. But this group is disproportionately increasing.
"Some mothers are caught in a destructive cycle: their child's taken into care, because of neglect or abuse, they quickly become pregnant again without changing their outlook or circumstances.
"Social workers take their next baby away at birth - and the next."
Louise, who is in her early twenties, was sexually abused from the age of seven.
At 11 she ran away from home, and was placed in foster care but did not settle.
Over the next five years, she spent time in nearly 40 foster homes before going to live with a family member again.
Aged 18 she became pregnant and her son was born when she was 19.
"I started leaving him with other people because whenever he cried I just wanted to pick him up and shake him - and I shouldn't have been doing that as a mum, I should have been protecting him and looking after him - but I was going out and getting drunk.
"The social services got involved because I was involved with them as a child. I didn't have family support. I didn't have nobody. I asked them for help but obviously it resulted in me losing my child."
Shortly afterwards, she became pregnant again and was "over the moon" but she had her son taken away from her again by social workers.
"It tore me apart," she said. "I just kept crying and crying. Even now - it doesn't get any easier..."
Louise is now part of the Pause project in Doncaster, a scheme which helps women break the cycle of court proceedings and further pregnancies.
She said she was now planning to get a career and be more settled before having children again.
About 10% of the babies that are removed at birth will be returned to their mothers at the end of care proceedings.
Some may be looked after by other family members, while others may go into foster care or be placed for adoption.
Dr Broadhurst said there had been a "general trend towards taking more timely action, getting in there quicker", which partly explained the increased number of newborn babies being placed into care.
But she said there was little research about why it was happening.
"That's a key question for me. In the absence of any analysis research evidence, what more could we have done to prevent this huge increase?"
The Department for Education said it was aware of the problem and has given extra funding to projects such as Pause, and the family drug and alcohol court, which tries to help women who have successive children taken into care.
The 41-year-old wrote on Twitter he was "so excited" to be fronting the ceremony in January 2017.
He takes over from Ricky Gervais, who presented it this year, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who were hosts from 2013-15.
Next year's ceremony takes place in Beverley Hills and is one of the biggest nights of the awards season.
Fallon, who has been presenting The Tonight Show since 2014, joked he was "looking forward to spending time with the Hollywood Foreign Press before Donald Trump has them all deported".
Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, said: "This is the most spontaneous and uninhibited award show on television, and Jimmy's playful, disarming comedic brilliance makes him the ideal host to enhance and elevate the sense of fun and irreverence."
NBC will be broadcasting the awards live in the US.

The news was announced on his official Facebook page, but no details about the cause of death were given.
"It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away," the statement said.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau led tributes to the singer, who was known for hits including Hallelujah and Dance Me to the End of Love.
"It is with deep sorrow that I learned today of the death of the legendary Leonard Cohen," Mr Trudeau said in a statement.
"He will be fondly remembered for his gruff vocals, his self-deprecating humour and the haunting lyrics that made his songs the perennial favourite of so many generations."
Fans have gathered outside Cohen's Montreal home to light candles and lay flowers.
Tributes are also being paid on the Greek island of Hydra, where Cohen had a house in the 1960s.
Cohen's son Adam told Rolling Stone: "My father passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles with the knowledge that he had completed what he felt was one of his greatest records.
"He was writing up until his last moments with his unique brand of humour."
A memorial for Cohen will take place in Los Angeles at a later date, the Facebook announcement added.
The Montreal-born singer's hits included Suzanne, Bird on the Wire and I'm Your Man.
He released his 14th album, You Want It Darker, just last month.
John Lissauer, the producer who worked with Cohen on Hallelujah as well as a series of albums in the 1970s and 1980s, described the singer as "almost mythical".
He told BBC Radio 4's Today: "He was just an iconic figure, because his duration was so great and he was so consistent in his devotion to the craft, and his devotion to recording and performing."
You Want It Darker received great critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone calling it a "late career triumph". The Telegraph described it as a "bleak masterpiece", awarding it five stars.
The Guardian also gave it full marks, praising the album as "wise and honest", while Pitchfork said the album "feels like a pristine, piously crafted last testament, the informed conclusion of a lifetime of inquiry".
Leonard Cohen was called "the high priest of pathos" and the "godfather of gloom".
But the influence and appeal of this poet, novelist, songwriter and legendary ladies' man has endured throughout his career.
Often prone to depression throughout his life, his often witty, charming and self-deprecating manner was reflected in his lyrics.
Obituary: Leonard Cohen
Record label Sony Music said it was proud to have "celebrated Cohen's artistry" over his six-decade career.
"Leonard Cohen was an unparalleled artist whose stunning body of original work has been embraced by generations of fans and artists alike," it said in a statement.
"The Sony Music Canada family joins the world in mourning Leonard Cohen's passing."
Cohen's songs included So Long Marianne, written about his lover and muse Marianne Ihlen, whom he met in Greece in the 1960s.
She also inspired the song Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye.
In July this year, Cohen wrote a letter to Ihlen after learning that she was terminally ill and close to death.
He said: "Well Marianne, it's come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon.
"Goodbye old friend, see you down the road."
Hallelujah was covered numerous times and reached number one in December 2008 when it was performed by UK X Factor winner Alexandra Burke.
Cohen later suggested he thought Hallelujah had been covered too many times: "I think it's a good song, but I think too many people sing it."
The singer spoke last month about the prospect of death in what is thought to be one of his final interviews.
"I am ready to die," he told The New Yorker. "I hope it's not too uncomfortable. That's about it for me."
Speaking about making arrangements for his death, he added: "At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order.
"It's a cliche, but it's underestimated as an analgesic on all levels."
Sir Elton John described Cohen as "a giant of a man", while Nick Cave said he was "the greatest songwriter of them all".
Carole King, Peter Gabriel, Bette Midler and Margaret Atwood are among others to have paid tribute.

Shoppers at the central London store said they were asked to leave at about 15:30 GMT after a warning about a blaze in the basement of the building.
They were led to streets behind the shop while the fire brigade investigated.
The shop reopened after about an hour with no noticeable damage to the building.
There were no reported injuries.
Four-time world champion Vettel, 29, was given a 10-second penalty that dropped him from third to fifth.
Formula 1's governing body had said the German moved under braking as he tried to hold off a passing move from Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
A Ferrari statement said "a number of new elements have come to light after the decision was rendered".
While Ferrari accepted that the result of the race on 30 October would not be altered, they want the decision to be "reconsidered" to determine what is classed as dangerous driving and "to provide clarity" over the rules.
Speaking at a news conference before this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo, Vettel said: "Obviously I don't agree with the decision that was made.
"I moved over to defend my position, I gave Daniel enough room on the inside and kept the car straight for more than the majority of the braking.
"Daniel locked up so bad because there was no grip on the inside. It looks worse than it was, I don't think it was dangerous, but I have to deal with the decision."
Vettel crossed the finish line fourth in Mexico but was promoted to third after Max Verstappen was giving a five-second penalty for cutting a corner of the track.
Vettel featured in the podium ceremony, before his penalty - received later that night - lifted Ricciardo to third and Verstappen to fourth.
"You don't want to wait so long after a race to have an outcome," said Australian Ricciardo, who described the penalty as the "right decision".
"When you're down the straight, if someone defends and moves one way you can move the other, but when you've committed to it, it's hard to pull out of the move."
Vettel is fourth in the drivers' championship on 187 points, 55 behind Ricciardo and 162 behind leader Nico Rosberg.

It got the man dubbed the "the iPod's father" - the engineer/designer who sold Steve Jobs on his vision of a portable music player, and then worked to build it, update it and then repeat the process with the iPhone.
In January, Google's troubled Glass computer was added to his list of duties.
"It wasn't handed to me and said, 'Tony clean it up,'" Mr Fadell clarifies, "I offered."

Mr Nasheed was the clear frontrunner in last month's vote but he did not get an outright majority and the election was later annulled by the Supreme Court.
He has called for another election to take place under a caretaker leader.
Mr Nasheed is pushing for a second spell as president 18 months after he was forced to resign.
"We believe that the only prudent way forward and the solution is for Waheed to resign and the speaker of parliament to take over the government until elections are over," Mr Nasheed said on Sunday.
He accused the current leader of trying to obstruct the elections "to take this country into a constitutional void and then capture power".
Last month, he gained 45% of votes in a first-round election that was annulled because the electoral lists included made-up names and dead people .
On Saturday police prevented ballot papers from being sent out because two candidates had failed to approve the registry of voters.
The electoral commission said the police had exceeded their mandate.
Mr Nasheed has been heading peaceful protests in the capital, Male. His supporters blocked a main road, drinking tea and eating snacks in a display of civil disobedience.
The current president, who had already pulled out of the leadership race after performing badly in the annulled first round, has proposed that the re-run vote be held on 26 October.
"I hope that over that week, any outstanding problems will be ironed out," Mr Waheed told the Associated Press, saying he wanted to ensure a new president was installed before the end of his term on 11 November.
The two remaining presidential candidates - Gasim Ibrahim and Abdulla Yameen - have been fighting for the re-run not to take place.
On Friday, they had sought an injunction against the election at the Supreme Court.
They complained that they had not had time to endorse the registry of voters, a newly introduced requirement.
The court did not issue an injunction nor did it give a clear instruction for the election to go ahead.
On Saturday, electoral commission head Fuwad Thowfeek said police had entered his offices and were stopped officials from distributing election materials.
Police spokesman Abdulla Nawaz said the election was stopped because the commission did not comply with a court order to have the voters' list endorsed by all candidates.
But Mr Thowfeek accused them of exceeding their mandate.
The cancellation caused alarm among the country's international partners.
India's foreign ministry said it was "seriously concerned at attempts to stall the democratic process", while a US embassy official in Sri Lanka said the delay "represents a real threat to democracy in the Maldives".
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said he was "deeply dismayed" and called for the democratic process to be allowed to proceed.
Commonwealth observers in the country also issued an angry statement denying suggestions by the police that they had sought Commonwealth advice before stopping the election.
The 12 clubs involved are three games away from winning promotion, but what does it take to go up through the fiercely-contested end-of-season tournament?
BBC Sport looked at 26 years of statistics to bring you some answers.
Since the 1989-90 season - when the current Football League play-off format of four teams from the same league competing to play a one-leg final at a neutral venue was introduced - nine sides finishing as the top qualifier for the play-offs have won promotion to the top flight.
That may bode well for Brighton, who finished third in the Championship in 2015-16.
A quarter of second-tier teams who score first in the play-off semi-final first leg have gone on to reach the final and win promotion to the top flight.
Teams start with a one-in-four chance of being promoted before a ball is kicked, which would suggest that scoring the first goal of a semi-final is not that important at all.
In League One, it is even less important. From 52 semi-final first-leg fixtures, teams who scored first went through to the final on only 18 occasions (35%), while just 11 of those (21%) went on to win in the final.
Meanwhile in League Two, 58% of teams who score first in the fourth-tier play-off semi-final first leg go on to reach the final.
Brighton missed out on automatic promotion to the Premier League by failing to beat Middlesbrough in their final game of the season.
The Seagulls face Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Friday, but could they benefit from playing Monday's second leg at home?
In the current format from 1989-90 onwards, teams from the Championship who play their semi-final second leg at their home ground have won on 31 of 52 occasions.
Of those second-leg winners, 24 teams have got through to the final while 13 teams have gone on to win the second-tier play-off final at Wembley.
But what if you have lost the first leg away from home? How often have teams used their second-leg home advantage to turn their semi-final around and then win the play-off final? The answer is "not very".
In the Championship, it has only happened once. Bolton Wanderers lost their 1994-95 Division One play-off semi-final first leg 2-1 at Wolves but won 2-0 after extra-time in the return leg at Burnden Park, before beating Reading 4-3 in the play-off final at Wembley.
In League One, West Bromwich Albion (1992-93), Gillingham (1999-00), Peterborough (2010-11) and Yeovil (2012-13) have won the play-offs after losing their first leg away from home.
Only Blackpool (1991-92), Plymouth (1995-96), Colchester (1997-98) and Scunthorpe (1998-99) have been able to repeat the feat in League Two.
Your team battles their way to the play-off final and thousands of your fans, draped in the colours of their team, descend on Wembley - does scoring first put your side in the driving seat?
In a word, yes. Teams who score first in Championship play-off finals have won on 20 of 26 occasions, while it is 21 from 26 in League One finals and 20 out of 26 in League Two.
Interestingly, there is very little in the way of a fightback in these instances. Usually, when one team takes the lead in a play-off final, the other team will not score.
In the current format, 15 of 26 second tier play-off finals have seen just one team score, while it is 14 of 26 in the third tier and also 14 of 26 in the fourth.
As promotion gives second-tier clubs a huge financial advantage, play-off finals have been nervy affairs of late. Seven of the last 10 Championship play-off finals have resulted in just one team getting on the scoresheet.

A BBC correspondent who has been to one of the registration sites in Turkey says there are few signs it is ready.
The UN and rights groups have expressed fears about migrant welfare and whether some may be forced back into Syria.
The EU-Turkey deal is aimed at easing the uncontrolled mass movement of people into Europe.
Under the deal, migrants arriving illegally in Greece are expected to be sent back to Turkey from 4 April if they do not apply for asylum or if their claim is rejected.
An EU official said it was hoped that several hundred would be returned on Monday.
For each Syrian returned, a Syrian migrant in Turkey will be resettled in the EU, with priority given to those who have not tried to enter the EU illegally.
Germany said on Friday it would take the first migrants.
Interior ministry spokesman Tobias Plate said that most would be families with children, with the numbers in the "double-digit range".
Last year, more than one million migrants and refugees arrived in the EU by boat from Turkey to Greece.
Tens of thousands have been stranded in Greece after northern countries closed their borders.
Greek officials told Associated Press that Monday's returns could start from the island of Lesbos and involve migrants whose asylum claims were considered inadmissible, including those from Pakistan.
Migrants will be taken on buses and put on chartered vessels, under a heavy security escort of one police guard for every migrant, the officials said.
But the BBC's Mark Lowen, who has been to a proposed registration camp near the western Turkish town of Dikili, says the field earmarked for the centre remains empty.
He says local officials are suggesting those sent back here would only stay temporarily in Dikili before being sent to other areas of Turkey.
Meanwhile, he says, boats are still attempting to cross - 160 migrants were caught by the Turkish coastguard near Dikili on Friday and many more actually reached Lesbos.
Our correspondent says there are grave doubts over the viability of the EU plan, not least due to concerns that migrants sent back could be mistreated, with several aid agencies and EU countries refusing to recognise Turkey as a so-called "safe country of origin".
A report from Amnesty International has accused Turkey of illegally forcing thousands of refugees back to Syria.
Turkey has denied sending back any refugees against their will.
On Friday the Greek parliament passed by 169 votes to 107 a law allowing migrants arriving in the country to be returned to Turkey.
But there have been violent protests among migrants.
On the Greek island of Chios, hundreds tore down the razor wire fence that was keeping them in and fled the camp.
They walked to the port demanding to continue their journeys to northern Europe.
One migrant said: "Deportation is a big mistake because we have risked a lot to come here especially during our crossing from Turkey to Greece. We were smuggled here from Turkey. We cannot go back.
"We will repeat our trip again and again if need be because we are running away in order to save our lives."
Tension has also flared at the port of Piraeus near Athens.
The United Nations refugee agency has urged Greece and Turkey to provide more safeguards before the returns begin.
It said conditions were worsening daily for the thousands held on Greek islands.
The Turkey-EU statement in full
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
In an apparent misfiring, two of the blocks remained partially upright but the remaining high-rise blocks were brought down by controlled explosion.
Some residents in neighbouring properties had to be forced to leave the exclusion zone prior to the demolition.
Unconfirmed reports indicated they will not be allowed to return home.
They had told BBC Scotland they were concerned about damage to their properties.
A controversial plan to demolish five of the blocks as part of the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony last summer was dropped.
When built they were considered the answer to the city's housing problem but became rundown and vandalised.
Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) said a single blowdown would be less disruptive to local residents.
Members of the public were kept about 1,000ft (300m) away from the blocks.
About 1,000 households were due to be temporarily moved while the demolition took place.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Tina Suffredini, who lives in the exclusion zone and was refusing to leave, said she wanted the block to be levelled gradually to lessen the impact on the surrounding area.
"I am concerned about everything," she said.
"Gas mains, there's a petrol station a couple of hundred yards away from the triple block, there's a nursery right under it, the dust, the flying debris - anything could happen.
"It could be two years down the line and our foundations could start to crack. I want to see them taken down safely, bit by bit."
Built in the mid-1960s to tackle the city's housing crisis, the flats were once the tallest residential structures in Europe, providing accommodation for almost 5,000 people.
The demolition programme, which changes the city's skyline, is part of GHA's renewal plan.
Two previous demolitions have taken place, in 2012 and 2013.
GHA said the decision to take all six blocks down in a single demolition was taken following feedback from local residents.
It said it would hold consultations on development options for the site.
Alvarez, 26, won with a ninth-round knockout as Smith, who had also been floored in the seventh, failed to beat the count following a body punch.
It was 28-year-old Smith's first defeat in 25 fights, in the third defence of the title he won in October 2015.
After the fight, Alvarez said "we are ready" for WBC, WBA and IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
"He doesn't want to accept," said Alvarez. "I fear no man. I am the best at this sport. I want to fight the best.
"About a month ago, we offered 'GGG' three or four times as much to make the fight."
Alvarez has lost only one of his 50 professional fights, against American Floyd Mayweather on points in 2013.
Kazakh Golovkin, 34, beat Britain's Kell Brook in London last week to extend his unbeaten record to 36 fights, icluding 33 knockouts.
Smith said: "I am very disappointed. Canelo was too good. My timing was off."
They also pledged to work together more closely on a range of bilateral issues including trade and security.
The islands, which Buenos Aires calls Las Malvinas, may also schedule more direct flights to Argentina.
The agreements would not affect the Falklands' sovereignty, the UK said.
This is the most positive development in relations between Argentina and Britain for more than 15 years, says the BBC's diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams.
Both Argentina and the UK claim the islands in the South Atlantic - with about 3,000 inhabitants - as their own, having fought a war over them in 1982.
Profile: Falkland Islands
Wednesday's joint statement was agreed following a series of high-level meetings in Buenos Aires between Argentinian President Mauricio Macri and other senior officials, and UK Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan.
Sir Alan said the Falkland Islands would be "free" to start more flights with layovers in Argentina. At present, there are occasional flights to Chile that stop in Argentina but this gives the green light to flights to other Latin American countries.
They also said they would support a project to try to identify the remains of unknown Argentines soldiers who died during the war and were buried on the islands.
The Foreign Office said it was the first positive statement the two sides had agreed on since 1999.
The UK's Sir Alan Duncan said: "It's clear to me that Argentina is open for business. The measures agreed today demonstrate we can make progress through dialogue."
Argentina's former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner pursued a claim of sovereignty over the islands and tried to put pressure on British and US companies not to drill for oil in the waters around them.
She required all vessels travelling between Argentina and the islands and those that wanted to cross Argentine territorial waters en route to the Falklands, to seek prior permission.
But her successor Mr Macri, who has been the president since December 2015, promised a "new kind of relationship" with the UK.
The Falklands are a UK overseas territory located about 530km (330 miles) off Argentina's coast.
In 2013 the islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain a UK territory.
The set on the old Granada TV lot in central Manchester was turned into a visitor attraction after filming moved to Trafford in January.
But developer Allied London, which bought the Quay Street site for £26m last year, is planning to build flats, shops and offices in its place.
The set had been used since 1982 but was refused listed status in 2012.
English Heritage said the complex was not sufficiently historic or architecturally significant to be listed.
The set has attracted more than 200,000 visitors since opening as a temporary tourist attraction in April.
The attraction is due to close on 4 October, although it could be extended to allow it to remain open until demolition work begins. The redevelopment of the area is due to start next year.
An ITV spokesperson said: "Coronation Street's new home is at MediaCityUK and the tour at Quay Street was always for a limited time.
"Although we can't confirm the official closure date - once the tour has closed, ITV will return the site to Allied London with the Coronation Street lot removed."
Glenda Young, editor of the Coronation Street Blog, said it was bad for fans and urged the developers to retain something from the street.
"It seems a shame," she said. "Even if there's just a bit of the old cobbles left, or Maxine's bench, or something that we know, it would be ideal.
"Make it a place for people to go and sit and be a focal point for that piece of Coronation Street history and culture. Once that's gone, there's nowhere else for fans to go.
"The Hacienda [nightclub] has been turned into flats, but people still turn up and have a look to see a bit of the old Hacienda."
But she admitted a full tourist attraction would probably not be viable in the long term.
"I think something like that's got a shelf life, and now that we all know they film on a different set anyway, the novelty would wear off," she said.
The German study, published in the journal Heart, found that women who had more than three miscarriages had a five-fold increase in risk.
The relatively young age of the women meant overall risk remained low, but miscarriages could alert doctors to future problems, the researchers said.
UK specialists said that the reason for the link was still unclear.
The study looked at more than 11,500 women aged between their mid-30s and mid-60s.
They looked at the pregnancy history of those who had suffered heart attacks, and compared this to the rate of miscarriages in the other women.
They found that one in four of the women in the study reported having a miscarriage - although this number could be higher because some women become pregnant then miscarry without realising what has happened.
When other factors linked to heart problems - such as weight, alcohol consumption and smoking - were accounted for, having three or more miscarriages increased the risk of heart attacks by more than 500%.
A smaller increase in risk was recorded in women who had miscarried fewer than three times.
The researchers, from the German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg, said that the results suggested a "substantially higher" risk later in life.
They suggested that a history of miscarriage should be recorded by doctors as an "important indicator" when trying to work out whether a woman was likely to suffer heart problems in middle-age and beyond.
The age of the women involved in the study meant that the overall risk of heart attack could not be tested.
The five-fold increase refers to a much smaller risk - that a woman would have a heart attack at a younger age.
This means that even a five-fold increase does not mean that a woman who suffers multiple miscarriages is very likely to have a heart attack.
Indeed, among a sample of 2,876 women who reported miscarriages, there were 82 heart attacks over a ten-year period.
However, other specialists said that the link between miscarriage and heart attacks remained a concern.
Professor Gordon Smith, from Cambridge University, said that other studies had pointed to an increase in heart disease risk among women who had pregnancy complications, which included pre-eclampsia, and premature birth alongside miscarriage.
However, he said that the reasons why were still not fully understood, with some evidence suggesting that it was not an effect of having miscarriages.
He said: "It is possible that there is some common predisposing risk factor for both miscarriage and heart disease. During pregnancy, it is manifested by increased risk of miscarriage, and later in life, it manifests itself as an increase in heart disease risk.
"Perhaps this involves an increased propensity to blood clotting - but the honest answer is that we don't yet know."
A spokeswoman for the British Heart Foundation said that it was hard to draw firm conclusions from the study.
She said: "While this is certainly an interesting observation it gives no proven explanation for an increase in heart attack risk.
"It's not simply a case of saying multiple miscarriages increase your risk of a heart attack - lots of other factors come into play.
"It's known in some cases of multiple miscarriages that the women have previously undiagnosed heart and circulatory disease, or significant risk factors for the disease, so they may have an increased heart attack risk which is unrelated to the pregnancy."
Stephen Evans, 57, who was elected to Haverfordwest council in 2010, sent the girl messages without revealing his identity.
He admitted two offences of inciting a child to engage in sexual activities.
On Wednesday, Evans, of Haverfordwest, was jailed for 16 months at Swansea Crown Court.
The court heard two of the messages were sent before the girl's 16th birthday, with the victim discovering Evans' identity after researching his telephone number.
Robin Rouch, prosecuting, said the messages had upset the victim so much she failed to achieve the exam grades she had expected.
Jim Davis, representing Evans, said he had suffered extreme shame and embarrassment.
Judge Peter Heywood said he would be failing in his public duty if he did not send Evans to jail immediately.
"You blighted her life in what was an important school year," he said.
Evans was ordered to register as a sex offender for 10 years and, on his release from prison, he will be banned from working with children.
He was also made the subject of a restraining order banning him from contacting the girl.
Some 130 fire-fighters were involved in tackling the blaze at Mandarin Palace and Karma on the Strand Road in March.
No-one was injured during the fire but homes were evacuated and there was considerable damage to the building and other businesses.
Almost 70 people worked at the restaurant.
It was taken from the site at Deughside, off the A713 road near Dalry in Dumfries and Galloway.
The theft happened sometime overnight between Thursday and Friday.
The power washer is a Sprint make, yellow coloured, and is valued at more than £16,000. It weighs about one tonne and would have required a number of people and a vehicle to remove.
Harsh, perhaps, but understandable given the circumstances.
Nagelsmann was just 28 and had never coached at senior level, while Hoffenheim, a village with a population of just 3,300 in southern Germany, were deep in relegation trouble, seven points from safety and running out of games.
What has followed in the past nine months is impressive.
Not only did Nagelsmann secure the club's Bundesliga place, but he has also seen his side move up to third in the table this season and become one of only five teams in Europe's five major leagues to remain unbeaten.
So, how has a managerial novice born in 1987 managed to transform Hoffenheim from relegation strugglers to a top-three side?
BBC Sport looks at the 29-year-old who has taken the German top flight by storm.
Long before he landed the head coach role at the club, Nagelsmann had already earned the nickname 'Baby Mourinho'.
It was given to him by former Hoffenheim and Germany goalkeeper Tim Wiese as Nagelsmann was making a name for himself after the defender's career was cut short by persistent knee problems.
Like Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, Naglesmann did not make it as a top player. Aged 20, he was forced to end a promising career while in Augsburg's second team, coached by Thomas Tuchel, who is now manager at Borussia Dortmund.
Nagelsmann then worked under Tuchel before moving to Hoffenheim via coaching 1860 Munich's Under-17s.
He then appeared on Bayern Munich's radar after masterminding Hoffenheim's German Under-19 Championship triumph in 2014, but he opted to stay at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena. And his appointment as head coach came six years after arriving at the Sinsheim-based club.
"I assumed a big deal would made about my age when I was appointed," Nagelsmann told BBC Sport.
"If you are appointed a boss of an established economic enterprise at the age of 28, this also would be a big story."
Hoffenheim had two wins from 20 games when Nagelsmann took charge nine months ago. They were next to bottom in the table and seven points from guaranteed safety.
Local newspaper Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung labelled his appointment a public relations stunt.
"I don't blame them," Hoffenheim's director of football Alexander Rosen said. "You look at Julian's age. He had already been here six years so we knew what he was able to do.
"He has a natural feeling for the group, he brings energy, passion and is blessed with talent."
Hoffenheim won seven of the remaining 14 games to finish one point above the relegation play-off spot.
"Straight away the team bought into my ideas and the way I would like to play football," added Nagelsmann, who lists Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola as his footballing heroes.
Hoffenheim had announced in October 2015 that the youth coach would take over as manager in the summer of 2016, provided they stayed up.
However, Nagelsmann was fast-tracked into the job with three months of the season remaining when experienced boss Hubb Stevens resigned because of a heart complaint.
And Nagelsmann's sense of technical know-how and ability to man-manage has converted critics into admirers.
"He had some experience in coaching but not as a head coach," said Joachim Klaehn, who covers Hoffenheim for the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung newspaper.
"Before Julian was appointed, they were in big trouble. They were bottom of the table during the winter break and everybody thought they would go down as they had no match plan.
"But it has been a sensation under Julian. He is a local hero."
With Hoffenheim's place in the Bundesliga secured, Nagelsmann got to work on rebuilding the squad in the summer.
Incomings included Croatia forward Andrej Kramaric, 25, who turned a loan from Leicester City into a permanent move, midfielders Lukas Rupp, 25, from Stuttgart and Kevin Vogt, 25, from Cologne, plus former Bayern Munich forward Sandro Wagner, 28, from Darmstadt.
Hoffenheim have scored in all but two of their 24 league games under Nagelsmann and even took the lead at champions Bayern Munich, managed by three-time Champions League winner Carlo Ancelotti.
"I have great respect for a coach like Ancelotti. Every coach dreams of being able to celebrate only a fraction of his achievements," added Nagelsmann, who was raised in the Bavarian village of Issing.
Since their young coach took charge, Hoffenheim have taken 43 points in 24 matches. But Rosen warned there will be times in the future when it may not be so rosy.
"He is an extraordinary talent," he said.
"However, we have to keep in mind the possibility that we will lose two or three games in a row. We have to be careful we give Julian the air to breathe when things are not going well.
"Let's not forget he has had 26 league and cup games as head coach, he is still learning."
How has Nagelsmann's appointment gone down with the senior players in the dressing room?
For starters, Hoffenheim have no major stars in their team after Roberto Firmino left for Liverpool in June 2015.
Instead they have assembled a squad of hard-working individuals, with the club operating a policy of signing young talent.
That means only three players are older than the head coach - second-choice goalkeeper Alexander Stolz, 33, Poland midfielder Eugen Polanski, 30, while Switzerland midfielder Pirmin Schwegler is 136 days older than his boss.
"We have eight players from our own academy in the first team squad," added Rosen. "For the past three years we have had the youngest squad in the Bundesliga."
Relaxed off the training pitch, Nagelsmann has been accused of being the opposite in his technical area.
Bayer Leverkusen head coach Roger Schmidt was banned and fined after calling his opposite number a "nutcase" during a game in October.
"I act out my emotions on the sidelines. I am also a very impulsive person and very involved in the speech to my players, but only as far as motivation is concerned," he added.
"I do not yell at my players because they made a mistake or rage in the dressing room," Nagelsmann said. "Of course, sometimes you get angry or your voice gets louder when you analyse a match but everything stays within the limits."
Hoffenheim, a former village team, were playing in the eighth tier of German football when former player Dietmar Hopp returned to buy the club in the early 1990s.
Hopp brought with him his personal fortune, made from a software company, and a dream to take his former club to the top level of German football.
Initial investment came in the form of modern training facilities and the large-scale development of youth academies.
This provided the foundations that saw a fairytale rise through the divisions with a team made up entirely of products of the youth set-up.
After rising to the second tier of German football, Hopp saw the opportunity and for the first time invested heavily in the squad and management.
Former Schalke boss Ralf Rangnick was appointed boss in 2006, and subsequently helped the club to back-to-back promotions, realising Hopps' long-term vision of making Hoffenheim a Bundesliga club.
This is their ninth season in Germany's top tier.
The Rhein-Neckar Arena, which holds 30,000 fans, has been their home since January 2009 and is situated in the southern town of Sinsheim, which is a short car ride from Hoffenheim.
Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti: "It is rare to observe such a young coach in the job. I hope that one day he will train the best team in the world."
Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel: "He's a very inquisitive and very hardworking young coach. He has enjoyed exceptional successes in youth football. I'm very happy for him and I believe in him."
Hoffenheim director of football Alexander Rosen: "Julian is 29 and I am 37. We have a combined age younger than [Arsene] Wenger!
Hoffenheim's 76-year-old owner Dietmar Hopp: "He's so good that I wonder if we can keep him. It would be best if we could keep him for a long time, at least as long as I live, and I hope that's quite a long time."
Although Nagelsmann is the youngest permanent head coach in Bundesliga history, he is not the youngest to oversee a Bundesliga match.
That honour belongs to Bernd Stober who was just 24 when he took charge of Saarbrucken in an interim capacity for their trip to Cologne on 23 October 1976. His side lost 5-1.
In Europe's other major leagues, Crystal Palace put Attilio Lombardo in charge at the age of 32 years and 67 days in 1998, while Lippo Hertzka had just turned 26 when he was appointed Real Madrid boss in 1930.
In France, Henri Cammarata was 29 years and 11 days old when he took charge of his first Toulouse match in 1945.
Former England striker David Platt was 32 years and 187 days old when he was appointed by Sampdoria in December 1998.
Nagelsmann was born on 23 July 1987. By then...
The 9-2 chance took advantage of a fall by odds-on favourite Djakadam to triumph by 12 lengths.
Ridden by Richard Johnson, Smad Place was leading when Gold Cup favourite Djakadam fell on the second circuit.
King also scored at Cheltenham with Annacotty and Yanworth, and had wins at Doncaster with Ziga Boy and McCabe Creek.
King has not decided whether Smad Place will race in the Gold Cup over three miles and two furlongs - one furlong more than Saturday's trip - or the Ryanair Chase over the shorter trip of two miles and five furlongs.
"The Gold Cup could be exceptional this year," he said.
"He's in the Ryanair; he's in the Gold Cup. He'll run in one of them and I'm not going to be committed today. I might change my mind."
Djakadam remains about a 4-1 shot for the Cheltenham Festival showpiece, battling for the status of favourite with stable-mates Vautour and Don Poli, fellow Irish challenger Don Cossack and English hope Cue Card.
Djakadam and jockey Ruby Walsh got up quickly from their fall and Djakadam owner Rich Ricci said the seven-year-old, trained by Willie Mullins, had suffered a flesh wound.
"It wasn't the ideal Gold Cup prep run, but he'll be all right and that's the important thing," Ricci said.

This was a huge day for British racing on the road to March's Cheltenham Festival.
Such has been the recent dominance of Ireland-based Willie Mullins that one had almost began to think all he had to do was roll up on 15 March and carry all before him.
But the rare setback for Mullins with Djakadam falling, and the five-timer for Alan King, plus notable successes for fellow 'Brit' horses including Thistlecrack and Barters Hill at Cheltenham, indicates the Mullins team won't have it all their own way.
Organisers announced the end of the annual music event, which has been running for 13 years.
Over the years it has featured a number of big-name British acts on its line-up, including Ed Sheeran, Fat Boy Slim and Paul Weller.
But now its two founders, Warren Le Sueur and Warren Holt, said they want to "move forward on to separate projects".
They thanked fans for their support.
"It was an absolute pleasure being part of Jersey history and hopefully providing memories that you will have for the rest of your days," they said in a joint statement.
The decision also spells the end for the Folklore Festival, which only returned a couple of years ago.
Newly homeless in a place already peopled with the descendants of refugees from the war that followed Israel's creation in 1948, their plight is desperate.
The level of damage in parts of Gaza is extraordinary - the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, called it "destruction beyond description".
No-one who has seen at first hand the power of modern missiles and artillery shells could fail to be awed by the destructive forces they unleash.
Huge buildings fashioned from thousands of tonnes of concrete have been reduced to dense, shallow, uneven mounds of rubble, as though they had been sucked in on themselves.
In some places - such as Shejaiya and Johr El-Deek - the pattern is repeated from house to house and street to street.
So when the International Donor Conference in Cairo ended with pledges to Gaza that added up to about $5.4bn (£3.4bn), it appeared to send a powerful signal that help was at hand.
The reality is slightly more complex.
First, there's the arithmetic.
Of that $5.4bn, about half has been earmarked for the direct repair of war-damage - the reconstruction of buildings, roads, electricity supply lines and sewerage systems.
It is not immediately clear how the rest of the money will be spent - but Gaza has no shortage of needs.
Money is desperately needed to improve the water supply, sewage disposal and road system among many other infrastructure issues.
And of course there is a continuing problem with funding the Hamas-run ministries of Gaza. Public-sector salaries are hugely important in a place where the private-sector economy has had the life squeezed out of it by an Egyptian and (mainly) Israeli economic blockade.
When they went unpaid for months earlier this year, the public pressure on the Hamas leadership was one of the factors that pushed it towards conflict with Israel - the argument being that Hamas knows it is in a better position to demand political concessions in times of conflict than in times of quiet.
So spending the money won't be a problem. Sadly, collecting might be.
It is a simple truth that governments do not always honour pledges they make to good causes at moments of international crisis.
Palestinian officials have said that most of the money pledged after Gaza's conflict with Israel in 2009 for example never came.
So for the moment that $5.4bn has a rather theoretical feel to it - but it is reasonable to assume that a substantial amount of money is on its way.
All of the donor countries are no doubt motivated by a desire to help the people of Gaza. Some have their own political and strategic motives for getting involved too.
The largest single donors, Qatar ($1bn) and Saudi Arabia ($500m), are rivals for influence throughout the Middle East and the Islamic world. The same can be said of both Turkey and the United Arab Emirates ($200m each).
The United States ($212m) and the European Union ($568m) may see their contribution as part of the price of continuing to play a role in the wider Middle East - aside from any humanitarian concerns they might also feel.
Individual European countries such as the United Kingdom ($32m) are no doubt motivated by a similar mix of considerations.
Politically, the winner in all this should be the Palestinian Authority (PA) led by Mahmoud Abbas.
At the moment, the PA, which controls the West Bank, has formed a unity government with Hamas, the militant Islamist organisation that controls Gaza.
But Western powers in particular are determined that the reconstruction funds will pass through the hands of the PA - partly to bolster its standing as a more moderate force and partly to stop Hamas from using the money directly to re-arm.
And there is another, even more interesting, political subtext to the reconstruction project.
Israel was of course not present at the donor conference. It simply would not be welcome at a gathering in the Arab world to discuss repairing the damage caused by its bombs and missiles.
But it did suffer a kind of political defeat in Cairo.
During the fighting, it was insistent that it would link any reconstruction funding to moves aimed at disarming or demilitarising Hamas. But no-one is now talking in those terms, and Israel is having to settle for something much more limited.
Any material intended for the reconstruction of Gaza is going to end up passing through Israeli territory.
Egypt does have a crossing point with the Palestinian territory, at Rafah, but it argues that it is a facility suitable for people only and was not built to deal with a substantial flow of goods.
That also means of course that the entire responsibility for making sure that Hamas does not use the reconstruction effort to re-arm will fall to Israel.
Its main crossing point into Gaza, at Kerem Shalom, can handle up to 450 trucks a day.
Building materials can be bought anywhere in the world, but they will all end up at this huge freight-handling terminal.
Israel has two security concerns.
The first is simple enough. Every bag of concrete will have to be searched to make sure it does not have guns, ammunition or rocket parts hidden somewhere inside.
The second is slightly more subtle and involves what are called "dual-use" materials - in other words anything that could be used to build either houses or rocket silos, such as concrete or steel.
Israel is going to have to find a way to measure the amount that enters Gaza and then the amount that is visibly used in civilian construction - if there is a gap between the two figures, they will assume that Hamas is creaming off the difference to build bunkers and tunnels.
So the Gaza reconstruction conference provided encouraging headlines, but there is much to do before winter comes.
And overshadowing all those practical concerns is a simple political problem.
However quickly and completely those donor nations cough up the cash, the truth is that without some sort of political progress between Israel and the Palestinians - of which there is absolutely no sign - there is no guarantee that anything rebuilt in Gaza this year or next year won't simply be destroyed again in the next conflict.
The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 79.64 points to 17,331.17.
The S&P 500 gained 11.68 points to 2,027.61, while the tech-focused Nasdaq index was up 35.30 at 4,763.97.
Analysts had expected the US central banks to keep its benchmark interest rate between 0.25% and 0.5%.
"Proceeding cautiously will allow us to verify that the labour market is continue to strength given the economic risk from abroad," said the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen.
The decision led the value of the dollar to fall 0.79% against the pound and 1.04% against the euro.
Caterpillar- the maker of construction equipment- was one of the day's biggest winners, rising 2.6%.
Tech companies had a strong day. Microsoft shares climbed 1.4% and Apple rose 1.3%.
Before the markets opened, new inflation figures from the Commerce Department showed that the consumer price index (CPI) fell 0.2% in February, led by a sharp fall in energy prices.
But core CPI, which strips out food and energy, rose 0.3%.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has reached a deal with Viacom-owned cable network Logo to air the event on 14 May.
Eurovision executive Jon Ola Sand said he was "thrilled" the final would be "broadcast live in one of the biggest TV markets for the very first time."
The 61st Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Stockholm from 10 to 14 May.
The Swedish capital previously played host to the competition in 1975 and 2000.
This year's event will feature entries from 42 countries - the largest number of competitors since 2011.
There will be two semi-finals, on 10 and 12 May.
Launched in 2012, Logo is available in nearly 50 million homes.
Its range of lifestyle programming is primarily aimed at lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) viewers.
Its website describes Eurovision as "the biggest, boldest, campiest music competition on earth".
The final will also be streamed in the US on the network's website and mobile app.
"We are extremely happy that US viewers now get to join those all over Europe, Australia and Asia in experiencing the grand final of the world's longest running annual TV music competition," Mr Sand continued.
The whitewashed walls of his house are pockmarked with blast marks and jagged holes gouged by flying shrapnel.
"Yesterday at 5.15 in the afternoon," he told me, "came an explosion from Yemen. My family were sitting just over there," he pointed to an abandoned mattress on the ground.
"Thank God they survived. In this house there are five families living here… There are children and women and old men here. What have they done to deserve this? It is not right."
Shortly after we left, seven more missiles landed in the neighbourhood, injuring several people and reportedly killing two.
Saudi Civil Defence workers say they were fired indiscriminately by Houthi rebels from across the border in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia is at war.
You wouldn't know it on the peaceful streets of its capital, Riyadh, but hundreds of miles to the south the civil war that has torn apart neighbouring Yemen is spilling over the border into Saudi towns and villages.
Saudi officials say more than 500 of their citizens have been killed by the Yemen war, a number dwarfed by the thousands killed in Yemen itself, but still a shock for this otherwise tranquil kingdom that is home to the holiest sites in Islam and is also the world's biggest oil producer.
We visited the ruins of a girls' elementary school in the village of Khawber, hit by a Houthi missile in the middle of the night.
In the shattered classroom the school clock lay on the floor, its hands stopped at the moment the missile exploded.
We met badly injured villagers, maimed by flying shrapnel when a Houthi rocket struck their mosque, and we were given rare access to a Saudi army Patriot anti-missile battery, placed in the desert facing Yemen, that has been intercepting ballistic missiles fired at Saudi Arabia's southern towns.
These Soviet-era missiles are aimed at the towns of Najran, Abha, Gizan, Khamis Mushayt and even, according to the Saudis, at the holy city of Mecca.
These ageing but still deadly Russian-made missiles belong to a stockpile amassed by the Yemeni army over the years and now taken over by the Houthis.
The weapons include Scud B missiles with a payload of nearly one tonne of high explosives, and the smaller Tochka with a payload of 482kg of explosives.
Saudi officers showed us the remnants of a downed Tochka, still bearing Cyrillic writing on its fuselage.
Between 6 June 2015 and 26 November 2016 the Saudi authorities have recorded 37 ballistic missiles fired from Yemen across the border into Saudi airspace.
Yet the damage to Saudi Arabia pales before the destruction next door in Yemen.
The war there started in September 2014 when fighters from a minority group, the Houthis, formed an alliance with the ousted former President, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who lent them the support of troops still loyal to him.
The Houthis, who demanded an end to corruption in government and a fairer distribution of power, marched down from their northern mountain stronghold around the town of Saada, took over the capital, Sanaa, dissolved parliament and put the president under house arrest.
Yemen, at the time, was just emerging from the chaos of the Arab Spring, a national dialogue had been completed, a new president chosen and there were high hopes for a peaceful, democratic future.
Those hopes were dashed.
The country's President, Mansour Hadi, fled for his life to the southern port of Aden where the Houthis bombed him from the air in his palace.
Yemen's legitimate, UN-recognised government, now in exile, appealed for help, and Saudi Arabia, alarmed - at what it saw as a takeover of Yemen by an Iranian proxy - stepped in.
Spearheaded by their newly appointed and then still untested Defence Minister, Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the Saudis put together a coalition of mainly Arab countries and began a massive air campaign in March 2015.
They aimed to drive the Houthis back from territory they had seized and restore the legitimate government, backed by UN Security Council Resolution 2216.
This has not worked. Today the Houthis remain in control of much of Yemen and the death toll keeps mounting.
Both sides are accused of recklessly targeting civilians - but the UN has said the majority of casualties have been caused by coalition air strikes, a view disputed by both the Saudis and the Yemeni government.
In a guest palace in Riyadh, where exiled members of the Yemeni government gather, I met Rajhi Badi, their spokesman. He was unequivocal as to where the blame lies.
"There's only one reason for the destruction in Yemen. It's the Houthis and the forces of ex-President Saleh.
"They seized the government's weapons and are using them against Yemeni civilians in built-up areas," Mr Badi said.
But to hear first-hand how the Saudis account for so many civilian deaths, I went to the coalition headquarters in Riyadh to question the Saudi-led command on how they choose their targets, and - more importantly - what measures they take to avoid those civilian casualties.
King Salman Air base is a huge, sprawling, well-guarded base on the edge of Riyadh.
On one of its roundabouts a British-built Tornado jet is mounted, testimony to the multibillion pound ongoing defence sales relationship between Britain and the Royal Saudi Air Force.
Inside the command and control centre there are flags from 11 nations, and uniformed staff and intelligence officers working, from several Arab countries - notably Egypt, the UAE and Jordan, as well as Saudi Arabia.
A dynamic, digital map on the wall display shows the movement of every aircraft on or approaching Yemen.
The coalition has complete air superiority in this war - the Houthis and their backers no longer have an air force.
In a large chamber called the "War Room" a digital chart details the line-up of inbound combat aircraft heading for Yemen.
This is the daily "Air Tasking Order Schedule". It shows which aircraft are in the air, from which country, their callsigns, and their intended targets (e.g. Egypt - F16 - Callsign Viper - Time on target 1600 - Killbox grid etc.).
Senior Saudi officers inside the command and control centre insist that when choosing targets in Yemen the coalition abides by the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) and that every precaution is taken to avoid civilian casualties.
Yet reports from the ground describe schools, hospitals, factories and social gatherings all being hit from the air.
The worst single event was on 8 October 2016 when a double air strike by a coalition warplane hit a packed funeral hall in the capital Sanaa, killing 140 people, mostly civilians.
The Saudi-led coalition has since admitted it was carried out in error and has offered compensation.
I put it to Maj Gen Ahmed Al-Assiri, the coalition spokesman, that both international aid organisations and the UN blame air strikes for 60% of civilian casualties.
He responded by accusing the UN of being effectively spoon-fed false statistics by the Houthi rebels.
"I think it is a wrong number or it is an exaggerated number when they say 60% of the casualties in Yemen are due to the air strikes.
"They are not on the ground, they are just in Sanaa and they write a report which the Houthis are giving to them."
The Saudi officers went to great lengths to insist they comply with international Rules of Engagement (ROE) and the LOAC.
They showed me their "No-Strike List" (NSL) which includes more than 30,000 sites all over Yemen, including refugee camps and hospitals.
Those Rules of Engagement state clearly:
They also explained their "Targeting Cycle", a circular chart detailing how air strikes are planned and executed, including a sign-off by a lawyer for every target chosen by the intelligence cell.
"If we plan a target," a senior Saudi intelligence officer told me, "it's going to go through this cycle. If it's close to a mosque or a hospital then we don't hit it."
But I pointed out this is exactly what has been happening, repeatedly, in Yemen, for the past 20 months.
Coalition officers admit there have been some mistakes - but they reminded me that even the US Air Force, with its vast experience, has hit wrong targets in Afghanistan and recently at Deir Az-zour in Syria.
"When you conduct a war in such circumstances," said Maj Gen al-Assiri referring to Yemen, "where the militias melt in with the civilians, it is too difficult.
"Mistakes could happen, and we do what is necessary to protect the civilians. We are here to protect the civilians, we are not here to harm the civilians," he added.
So what is Britain's role exactly in this messy, seemingly unwinnable war in Yemen?
Britain supplies Tornado and Typhoon aircraft and precision-guided munitions to the Saudi government under defence deals concluded before this war began.
Since the air strikes started in March 2015, the UK has sold over £3.3bn ($4.1bn) worth of defence equipment to Saudi Arabia with more planned.
This has prompted some campaigners to suggest that Britain is complicit in the carnage afflicting Yemen.
The British government's position is that Saudi Arabia is an ally and that it supports its UN-backed actions to restore the legitimate Yemeni government to power.
"This is a legitimate request by the Saudis and the coalition to respond to President Hadi and (UNSC) Resolution 2216 in support of the aggression by the Houthis," says the Foreign Office Minister responsible for the Middle East, Tobias Ellwood, MP.
"But mistakes have been made, there's no doubt about that. Attacks have taken place which shouldn't have taken place, hitting targets on the ground, collateral damage taking place. They need to learn from this."
Whitehall says RAF personnel placed inside coalition HQ are not involved in the targeting, that they are there to report back as well as to pass on to the Saudi-led coalition their expertise about best practice in avoiding civilian casualties.
The Saudis told me that their air force "takes its Paveway 4 Collateral Damage Chart from the UK'.
This is an interactive diagram composed of a series of questions that help planners decide whether or not a target is at risk of collateral damage (i.e. hitting civilians).
But regardless of whatever rules are followed in military planning cells in Riyadh, the fact remains that in Yemen, civilians are getting killed and injured by both sides.
The UK government was concerned enough about the funeral bombing in October that the Prime Minister sent the FCO Minister down to Riyadh to press the Saudi and exiled Yemeni governments for a full explanation, which duly followed.
From my several recent visits to Saudi Arabia I get the strong impression that the Saudis never expected the Houthis to hold out as long as they have.
By now, they expected them to have effectively sued for peace, accepted a purely political role in a future Yemeni government and handed over their heavy weapons to the UN.
That still hasn't happened, and for the Saudis this is a red line.
Time and again they have said they will not allow an armed militia, backed by their rival Iran, to hold onto power illegally in Yemen.
Until one side or the other backs down, this war shows no sign of ending. | Papers in India are remembering the Indian Ocean tsunami that brought death and destruction to people 10 years ago.

Mae adroddiad Nick Bennett hefyd yn dweud bod 16% o gwynion wedi cael canlyniad cadarnhaol, naill ai oherwydd camau i unioni pethau neu drwy gadarnhau'r gwyn a chytuno ar gamau gweithredu.
Yn ei adroddiad blynyddol ar gyfer 2016-17, mae'r Ombwdsmon yn nodi ei fod wedi derbyn 2,056 o gwynion am wasanaethau cyhoeddus Cymru, a bellach mae 38% o'r cwynion yn ymwneud â iechyd.
Mae'r Ombwdsmon wedi clustnodi Swyddogion Gwella i bump o fyrddau iechyd Cymru - Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, Aneurin Bevan, Betsi Cadwaladr, Cwm Taf a Hywel Dda - ond mae Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr, sy'n gwasanaethu gogledd Cymru, yn destun pryder.
Dywedodd Llywodraeth Cymru nad oedden nhw wedi gweld adroddiad yr Ombwdsmon eto, ond y bydden nhw'n ei "ystyried yn ofalus" pan maen nhw'n ei dderbyn.
Mae meddygon teulu a staff gofal sylfaenol yng Nghymru yn delio a 18 miliwn o achosion y flwyddyn, mae 'na 3m o apwyntiadau mewn ysbytai, a 750,000 o achosion bob blwyddyn lle mae cleifion yn gorfod aros am o leia' noson am driniaeth.
O ystyried y galw am ofal a'r ffaith ei fod yn cynyddu o hyd, nid yw hi'n syndod mai cwynion am y gwasanaeth iechyd, yn hytrach na chynghorau a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus eraill sy'n gyfrifol am drwch gwaith yr ombwdsmon - 38% o'r holl gwynion y mae'n eu derbyn.
Un o bryderon mwyaf Nick Bennett yw bod nifer y cwynion sy'n cael eu hymchwilio a'u cadarnhau yn erbyn Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr yn y gogledd yn parhau i gynyddu. Bwrdd sydd wrth gwrs mewn mesurau arbennig - ac o dan oruchwyliaeth fanwl Llywodraeth Cymru.
Yn y gorllewin, er bod nifer y cwynion gafodd eu derbyn yn erbyn Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel dda gryn dipyn yn uwch na'r llynedd, roedd nifer yr achosion gafodd eu cadarnhau wedi haneru, ac yn ôl Nick Bennett mae hynny'n galonogol.
Felly hefyd y ffaith fod cwynion am Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Abertawe Bro Morgannwg wedi gostwng o 25%.
Ond yn gyffredinol yn ôl Mr Bennett mae 'na ddiwylliant o ofn a gweld bai yn dal i fodoli mewn cyrff cyhoeddus, sy'n golygu fod prosesau i ddelio â chwynion weithiau yn ddiffygiol ac anfoddhaol.
Er mwyn mynd i'r afael â hynny mae ombwdsmon wedi bod yn cynnal seminarau gyda chyrff iechyd i wella'u prosesau, ac mae'r ombwdsmon unwaith eto yn galw ar y Cynulliad i basio deddfwriaeth newydd i gryfhau ei bwerau ei hun.
Ond tra bo'r cynnydd mewn cwynion ar yr olwg gyntaf yn ymddangos yn destun gofid, fe allai hefyd awgrymu fod cleifion bellach yn teimlo'n fwy parod godi'i llais ac amlygu'u pryderon pan nad ydyn nhw'n fodlon â'r gofal ma nhw'n ei gael.
Dywedodd Nick Bennett: "Mae'r cynnydd cyson mewn cwynion am gyrff y GIG yn achosi pryder. Un ffactor o bwys yw nifer y cwynion a dderbyniwyd am Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr a bydd fy Swyddog Gwella yn parhau i weithio gyda'r bwrdd iechyd i sicrhau y parheir i ddysgu gwersi.
"Mae tystiolaeth fod diwylliant o ofn a gweld bai yn dal i fodoli mewn rhai cyrff yn y sector cyhoeddus ac roedd fy adroddiad thematig 'Rhoi Diwedd ar yr Un Hen Gân Feunyddiol: Dysgu Gwersi o Ddelio'n Wael â Chwynion' yn tynnu sylw at feysydd pwysig i'w gwella.
"Ond, ar ôl y seminar ar gwynion iechyd a gynhaliwyd gan fy swyddfa'n ddiweddar, rwy'n falch o weld bod staff byrddau iechyd yn awyddus i gryfhau'r trefniadau llywodraethu, hyfforddiant a chasglu data er mwyn gwella'r ffordd o ddelio â chwynion.
"Byddwn yn annog y Cynulliad i fwrw ymlaen â'r bil Ombwdsmon drafft newydd yn ystod tymor yr hydref. Os caiff ei phasio, rwy'n ffyddiog y bydd y ddeddfwriaeth newydd yn rhoi modd i ganfod gwasanaeth gwael yn haws ac i ddelio â'r mater yn fwy effeithlon."
Mewn ymateb dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru: "Mae pob corff y GIG yng Nghymru yn gweithio'n galed i atal cwynion a delio gyda nhw yn y modd priodol pan maen nhw'n codi.
"Yn ogystal â'r gwaith sydd eisoes yn digwydd o fewn y GIG, rydyn ni'n croesawu cymorth yr Ombwdsmon gyda'r swyddogion gwelliant mae wedi gosod yn eu lle.
"Mae pob cwyn i'r GIG yn cael ei gymryd o ddifrif, ac rydym yn disgwyl i fyrddau iechyd eu hymchwilio'n drylwyr. Rydyn ni'n gwerthfawrogi adborth ac yn annog pryderon i gael eu codi cyn gynted â phosib fel bod modd delio â nhw'n sydyn ac er mwyn parhau i wella gwasanaethau.
"Ar draws Cymru rydyn ni'n gwybod fod bodlonrwydd cleifion gyda'r GIG yn parhau i fod yn uchel tu hwnt."
Ychwanegodd llefarydd ar ran Bwrdd Iechyd Betsi Cadwaladr: "Rydyn ni'n gwerthfawrogi pob adborth am ein gwasanaethau. Mae hyn rhoi cyfle i ni ddysgu a gwella.
"Rydyn ni'n gweithio'n galed i sicrhau ein bod ni'n ymateb i gwynion yn brydlon, ac mae hyn yn cynnwys y Gwasanaeth Cyngor a Chefnogaeth i Gleifion (PAS) sydd wedi'i gyflwyno yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd yn ddiweddar.

Matthew Tate, head teacher at Hartsdown Academy in Margate, said some pupils had arrived in tracksuits and "skin-tight" clothes.
Some parents have criticised the new head for being "over-zealous".
Twenty pupils were turned away from classes, with 50 sent home on Tuesday.

Mr Tate said adhering to uniform rules led to better behaviour and improved grades.
Other uniform contraventions included "inappropriate" shoes and missing blazers, Mr Tate said.
The students have not been disciplined, but were told to go home and return in the correct uniform, after the school had informed their parents.
On Tuesday morning, a police community support officer based at the school, along with two passing police officers, intervened in a "disturbance" outside the gates.
One parent said his daughter had been sent home twice - on Tuesday for not having her blazer, which he said had been left at school, and on Wednesday for wearing "the wrong black brogue-like" shoes which were worn on both days.
Dave Hopper said: "My daughter Kimberley was sent to school this morning, same as yesterday morning, in perfect attire to be able to go and get an education, and to be turned away I thought was absolutely wrong."
He said he would be taking advice from the local education authority "because I don't believe this has been done with the best interests of the children".
Mr Tate said parents were sent a letter in July explaining that students not in the correct uniform would not be allowed on site.
He said he had received a positive response from most parents.
"People have been wanting a school that they can be really proud of, that sets high standards, that wants the very best for their children.
"And most of our parents have emailed in and contacted us to say 'yes, thank you, this should have been done a while ago'," he said.
Mr Tate said pupils would be sent home again on Thursday if they were still not wearing the correct uniform.
"But I hope that nobody will put themselves in that position," he said.
Organisers believe it is the first UK festival to use the "F-rating" which will go to 17 of the 42 films being shown.
Films with a female lead, director or are about women will get the rating.
Festival producer Holly Tarquini said she hoped it would create debate and equal representation in film.
She said the F-rating was inspired by US cartoonist Alison Bechdel whose 1985 comic strip Dykes to Watch Out featured two women discussing "movies".
The cartoon became known as the "Bechdel Test" with the characters deciding a film should include at least two women who talk to each other about something besides a man.
Ms Tarquini said: "If our films have a female director, a female lead who is not simply there to support the male lead, or are specifically about women then they will receive an F-Rated stamp of approval."
The under-representation of female screenwriters and directors is backed up by the British Film Institute's (BFI) Statistical Yearbook for 2013.
BFI figures showed that in 2011, 15% of all UK films released were directed by women, but in 2012, this went down to 7.8%.
Director Elaine Constantine said she thought the F-rating was "a good idea even if it only serves to highlight who the women film makers are".
"It's a job that takes balls. The laws in this country changed a long time ago in order to stamp out sexual discrimination.
"But unfortunately culturally things don't catch up as fast. I think role models are always a good thing - look at Kathryn Bigelow (director of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty), it doesn't get much better than that does it?"
Women in Film and Television chairwoman Elizabeth Karlsen said the F-rating was a "positive thing" if it raised awareness about the lack of women both on screen and behind the camera.
Ms Karlsen said: "But one concern would be that it could lead to some sort of segregation and we don't want to be in that situation."
She said gender inequality still existed "on a national and global level" and it had to be addressed "at a young age" and to say to young girls and women "you have a story and a history to tell".
Donald Trump Jr said he met Natalia Veselnitskaya but that "no meaningful information" on Mrs Clinton was shared.
Also at the meeting was the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign head Paul J Manafort.
US officials are investigating alleged Russian meddling in the US election.
The FBI and Congress are both looking at whether Trump campaign officials colluded with the alleged Kremlin plot. The inquiries have yet to show evidence of collusion.
The meeting with Ms Veselnitskaya took place on 9 June 2016 at New York's Trump Tower, just two weeks after Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination.
It is thought to be the first confirmed private meeting between a Russian national and a member of US President Donald Trump's inner circle.
The New York Times first reported the meeting on Saturday. At the time, both Mr Trump Jr and Ms Veselnitskaya confirmed the meeting but said the US presidential campaign was not discussed.
On Sunday, the New York Times said that Mr Trump Jr had agreed to the meeting after being offered information that would potentially prove detrimental to Mrs Clinton, who was Democratic presidential candidate at the time.
The New York Times cited three White House advisers briefed on the meeting, and two others with knowledge for it, as its sources.
In a statement on Sunday, Mr Trump Jr said an acquaintance had asked him to meet "an individual who I was told might have information helpful to the campaign".
"I was not told her name prior to the meeting. I asked Jared [Kushner] and Paul [Manafort] to attend, but told them nothing of the substance."
"After pleasantries were exchanged, the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs Clinton."
"Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information," he added.
Mr Trump Jr said Ms Veselnitskaya then moved the conversation to a suspended programme for Americans to adopt Russian children.
"It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting."
Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter
If it walks like collusion and talks like collusion... what exactly is it?
For the first time there appears to be direct evidence that three individuals in US President Donald Trump's inner circle met with a well-connected Russian prior to the presidential election where the campaign - including the possibility of damaging information about Democrat Hillary Clinton - was discussed.
Donald Trump Jr has denied that anything relevant came out of the meeting, but that could be beside the point. Intent is key, and this may end up just one piece of a particularly unseemly puzzle.
This is also troubling news for the two other principals involved - son-in-law Jared Kushner and campaign chair Paul J Manafort - who are both embroiled in their own Russia-related controversies.
In May the president insisted that he had not colluded with the Russians, "but I can only speak for myself," he said. Some in his administration may have swallowed hard at that line - and now three individuals, if the New York Times is right, are leaking dynamite to the press.
Try as they might, the Trump team cannot seem to escape this Russia-related vortex. It makes one wonder what grim reality spins beneath the surface, pulling everyone down.
There was no immediate comment from Mr Kushner and Mr Manafort.
Mr Kushner's lawyer said he had previously disclosed the meeting on security clearance forms.
A spokesman for President Trump's legal team said on Sunday that the president was "not aware of and did not attend" the 2016 meeting between Mr Trump Jr and Ms Veselnitskaya.
President Vladimir Putin suspended the adoption programme cited by Mr Trump Jr in 2012 after the US Congress voted in a law to allow the US to withhold visas and freeze financial assets of Russian officials thought to have been involved with human rights violations.
Ms Veselnitskaya, who played a key role campaigning against the law, said on Saturday that "nothing at all was discussed about the presidential campaign."
"I have never acted on behalf of the Russian government and have never discussed any of these matters with any representative of the Russian government."
US intelligence agencies believe Moscow tried to tip the election in favour of Mr Trump - claims the Russian government has denied.
Last week Mr Trump said interference in the election "could well have been" carried out by countries other than Russia and interference "has been happening for a long time".
The 29-year-old Briton had already made history with back-to-back Grands Prix successes in Geneva and Aachen.
He added to those by claiming the Calgary Grand Prix in Canada on Sunday riding Hello Sanctos.
"Words can't describe it. It is the best feeling I've ever had," said Scottish-born Brash.
Brash was the only competitor to ride the second round cleanly and inside the time limit as he claimed victory and the Rolex Grand Slam.
"I didn't think it could be done. It means everything," he said.
Brash has been ranked world number one since November 2013 and the West Sussex-based rider won team gold at the London Olympics in 2012.
"What can I say about Sanctos, he is the horse of a lifetime," he added.
"He was unbelievable in the second round and he tried his heart out."
Lord Neuberger said politicians did not speak out quickly or clearly enough and some media attacks had been unfair.
He said unjustified attacks on the judiciary undermined the rule of law.
After the government lost the Article 50 case at the High Court, a Daily Mail headline called the three judges in the case "enemies of the people".
Lord Chancellor and justice minister Liz Truss said she was "delighted" that Lord Neuberger was "proactively talking about the role of the judiciary in public."
She added: "It is right that everyone understands the importance of its independence and the rule of law in a free society."
Lord Neuberger, who retires in September, was speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme a month after the Supreme Court ruled that only Parliament, not ministers, had the power to trigger the UK's exit from the EU because that was where laws were made.
The Daily Mail's front page story was published when the government lost the first stage of the legal battle at the High Court last November.
That story sparked a furious row with critics, including MPs from all parties, accusing Liz Truss, the lord chancellor and justice secretary, of not standing up for an independent judiciary.
The Supreme Court, the final court of appeal in the UK for civil cases - and for criminal cases from England, Wales and Northern Ireland - hears cases of the greatest public or constitutional importance affecting the whole population.
Its justices also sit as the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and as such will occasionally hear appeals against the death penalty from Commonwealth countries.
In an average year, the Supreme Court hears about 90 appeals and makes about 80 judgements on important issues of law.
In his interview, Lord Neuberger did not single out any newspaper or politician, but said: "We [judges in general] were certainly not well treated. One has to be careful about being critical of the press particularly as a lawyer or judge because our view of life is very different from that of the media.
"I think some of what was said was undermining the rule of law."
Asked whether politicians had responded quickly enough to defend the judiciary and rule of law, Lord Neuberger said: "They were certainly vocal enough quickly enough after our hearing [in the Supreme Court].
"After the [High] Court hearing. I think they could have been quicker and clearer. But we all learn by experience, whether politicians or judges. It's easy to be critical after the event. They were faced with an unexpected situation from which like all sensible people they learned."
Lord Neuberger said that undermining the judiciary also undermined the rule of law as judges were "the ultimate guardians" of it.
"The rule of law together with democracy is one of the two pillars on which our society is based," he added.
"And therefore if, without good reason, the media or anyone else undermines the judiciary that risks undermining our society.
"The press and the media generally have a positive duty to keep an eye on things. But I think with that power comes the degree of responsibility."
By Clive Coleman, BBC Legal correspondent
The country's judges were stung and hurt by the description of three of the most senior members of their ranks as 'enemies of the people'.
As a body they feel they cannot respond to such criticism publicly - judges must after all speak through their judgements alone, and the occasional public lecture.
Being dragged into the forum of public debate is seen as something that diminishes public confidence in their independence.
Whilst some senior retired judges such as the former Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge did speak out after the press coverage of the High Court Article 50 ruling, Lord Neuberger is the most senior serving judge to do so publicly.
He retires in September so perhaps he feels that the reins are off, or at least loosened.
His fellow judges will be quietly delighted that he has expressed his views on what they saw as an unfair attack on their independence and the rule of law… but they won't say that publicly.
Kelvin MacKenzie, a former editor of the Sun, told the BBC Lord Neuberger was being "overly sensitive" and said judges "cannot sit above argument or above criticism".
"[Newspapers] certainly haven't undermined the rule of law," he said. "They have simply added to a debate going on outside the legal entity called the Supreme Court and there is nothing wrong with that. We call that free speech.
"Surely he is not indicating that free speech should have a limit in relation to the Supreme Court and a judgement [over Brexit] which had an enormous impact on a number of people? It is quite wrong."
The interview with Lord Neuberger comes on the same day the Supreme Court begins taking applications for new justices.
As well as a new president to replace him, there is the need for two further justices after the retirement of Lord Toulson in 2016, and the upcoming retirement of Lord Clarke.
The current bench is made up of one woman and 10 men, all white and from affluent backgrounds.
On announcing his retirement last year, Lord Neuberger called for a diverse list of candidates to take the jobs.
"The higher echelons of the judiciary in the United Kingdom suffer from a marked lack of diversity and here I must admit the Supreme Court does not score at all well," he said.
"We have one white woman and 10 white men, and, although two of the 11 were not privately educated, none of us come from disadvantaged backgrounds."
Ms Truss welcomed the comments. She said: "I am pleased to see him encouraging the widest pool of talent for the recruitment of three Supreme Court judges, which will enhance and strengthen our outstanding judiciary."
Applications will close on 10 March. There will then be shortlisting, interviews and consultation exercises, with the names of the new appointments expected to be announced in July.
They will take up office at the beginning of the new legal year in October.
Three more justices - Lord Mance, Lord Hughes and Lord Sumption - will retire before the end of 2018, as the statutory retirement age for judges is 70.

The Caernarfon-based poet will take up the role in May and succeeds Gillian Clarke who has held the post since 2008.
Mr ap Glyn writes in Welsh and will be the fourth national poet since the unpaid role was created in 2005.
He told BBC Wales he was "extremely honoured" to be appointed.
Mr ap Glyn said the new position would be an "ambassadorial role".
"The aim is to represent Welsh writing at events and festivals in Wales and across the world," he added.
"Most countries in Europe and beyond have a national poet and why should we be any different in Wales?
"After all, our national anthem says we are a land of poets and singers. Our singers are certainly internationally renowned, perhaps our poets not quite so much, and this role aims to address that."
Mr ap Glyn writes in Welsh and is exploring ways of translating his work for English-speaking audiences.
He said: "Ever since its inception this role has alternated between poets who write in English, and poets who write mainly in Welsh.
"I think all the holders of the post have been keen to bridge the two languages, and work with writers who write in whatever the other language happens to be at the time."
Who is Ifor ap Glyn?
The first national poet, Gwyneth Lewis, was appointed in 2005 followed by Gwyn Thomas a year later.
Gillian Clarke, who is the longest-serving of the three national poets of Wales, said there is still more to do in the role she was appointed to in 2008.
"Ifor's an excellent choice. He's fluent in both languages - he's a real Welshman but also an internationalist. I think he'll be able to express Wales to the world."
"He has got all the credentials for being a good national poet."
"I think the poet is the voice of the tribe and he will be one of the voices of the tribe."
Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, said: "After the fantastic work by Gillian Clarke as national poet, it is exciting to see the role pass to a Welsh-language poet who I am sure will help to celebrate the Welsh language, which is among the greatest treasure of these islands."
What does a national poet do?
A new young person's laureate has also been appointed.
Sophie McKeand, also from north Wales, has worked with various organisations including National Theatre Wales and Arts Council Wales and will be the figurehead for Literature Wales' projects including, Slam Cymru and the Roald Dahl-inspired outreach scheme, Invent your Event.
Steffan Jones-Hughes from Oriel Learning said: "Sophie brings her energy and enthusiasm for words and language to every session."
The service is called Keriba Omasker, which means "our children" in the ancestral language of the children.
Attending is Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who tweeted: "Today in Cairns. Sad beyond words. Keriba Omasker."
The mother of seven of the children has been charged with their murders. The other victim was her niece.
The four boys and four girls were aged between 18 months and 14 years.
Almost 5,000 people heard prayers and tributes to the children at a memorial service.
Mr Abbott and other Australian political leaders laid wreaths.
Hearses are taking the children's bodies to Martyn Place Cemetery, where they will be laid to rest.
The mother, Mersane Warria, 37, is being treated in hospital. She is not reported to be attending the funeral.
There are plans to demolish the house where the children died, to be replaced with a public memorial.
"Great news! We have found the San Jose galleon," the president tweeted.
The wreck was discovered near the port city of Cartagena.
It has been described as the holy grail of shipwrecks, as the ship was carrying one of the largest amounts of valuables ever to have been lost at sea.
Mr Santos said the cargo was worth at least $1bn (£662m).
The San Jose was carrying gold, silver, gems and jewellery collected in the South American colonies to be shipped to Spain's king to help finance his war of succession against the British when it was sunk in June 1708.
The vessel was attacked by a British warship just outside Cartagena.
Colombian officials would not reveal the precise location of the wreck, but Mr Santos said the find "constitutes one of the greatest - if not the biggest, as some say - discoveries of submerged patrimony in the history of mankind".
He said that a museum would be built in Cartagena to house the ship's treasures.
Ownership of the wreck has been the subject of a long-running legal row.
The Colombian government did not mention its long-running quarrel with US-based salvage company Sea Search Armada (SSA) over claims to the treasure.
A group now owned by SSA said in 1981 that it had located the area in which the ship sank.
SSA has been claiming billions of dollars for breach of contract from the Colombian government, but in 2011 an American court ruled that the galleon was the property of the Colombian state.
The Scottish Association of Young Farmers' Clubs (SAYFC) said its annual grant of £66,000 had been cut.
It represents an 11% loss in annual income, according to a spokeswoman for the organisation which has more than 3,500 members across Scotland.
The government said ministers will invite SAYFC leaders to talks to discuss how to support their work.
It is the first time in almost 70 years that it will receive no government financial support, according to the association
Chief executive Penny Montgomerie said: "We are disappointed that the Scottish government has taken this decision to no longer support SAYFC.
"The association offers a crucial network for many young people in rural Scotland as well as unique personal development opportunities.
"The association is currently growing from strength to strength with membership now higher than it has been since 1998."
Young people aged between 14 and 30 can be members of young farmers clubs.
They are encouraged to take part in events, competitions, training and travel, "which help reduce rural isolation and increase confidence and skills".
Ms Montgomerie said: "Looking to the future we are optimistic that although there are tough financial times ahead over the coming months we will continue to focus on ensuring we can develop member services, and have a relevant organisation that youth in rural Scotland want to be part of."
A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said more than 100 organisations, including many youth work groups, have been awarded grants from a £12m fund.
She added: "All organisations who were unsuccessful in the application process have been offered support from Lloyds Foundation to consider alternative funding sources, including other relevant government funds
"We value the work of the Scottish Association of Young Farmers Clubs and are committed to helping to increase opportunities for young farmers.
"Ministers will be inviting SAYFC leaders to meet to discuss how the Scottish government can help support their good work in light of the panel's decision in relation to their application for youth work funding."
Tej Bahadur Yadav of the Border Security Force posted videos of burnt roti (flatbread) and lentils that he said had only turmeric and salt.
"This is the quality of the food we get ... how can a jawan (soldier) do his duty?" he says in a clip on Facebook.
The videos, posted on Monday, have been viewed over eight million times.
My Yadav also alleged that the quality of the food was so poor that many times soldiers opted to go without instead.
He said the problem did not lie with the government, but was a result of corruption among senior army officers who, he alleged, were selling rations.
India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted that he had asked for a report from the Border Security Force (BSF) and would take "immediate action".
Junior Home Minister Kiren Rijiju also responded.
The BSF also responded to the video in a tweet, saying that they had already sent a senior officer to the location to investigate:
The video has generated outrage among Indians.
Inspector General of the Border Security Force DK Upadhyay told media that the soldier had several complaints against him and had faced disciplinary action in 2010.
He said, however, that Mr Yadav had been moved to a different camp so that a fair inquiry could be held into his allegations.
Mr Yadav has not responded to the statement.
OneKind and the League Against Cruel Sports claimed it was attacked by hounds from the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt.
Vets who examined the carcass said its injuries were consistent with a dog attack, although it had also been shot.
Pro-hunting group the Countryside Alliance said the fox had been legally shot after being flushed out by dogs.
Under the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002 dogs can be used to flush out an animal but they are not allowed to kill it.
Campaigners, however, claim foxes are regularly killed by hounds.
A review, led by senior judge Lord Bonomy, into how the law is working is due to be published shortly.
The charities said the fox was retrieved by hunt saboteurs on 5 November at Harelaw, near Bridge of Weirand, and taken to Hesselhead Wildlife Hospital.
They then arranged for an examination to be carried out by SAC Consulting Veterinary Services.
The report concluded: "Death is likely to be due to a combination of respiratory failure, blood loss and shock and would not have been instant. This will have caused significant unnecessary suffering to the fox."
The animal had also been shot - but the report said the wound was not fatal.
"One metallic fragment recovered from the right front leg. This will not have killed the animal but the associated haemorrhage is consistent with the fox being shot while still alive," the report said.
OneKind Director Harry Huyton said: "Despite a law which supposedly prevents foxes from suffering negative welfare impacts from hunting with hounds, this unprecedented post-mortem of a hunted fox makes it clear that suffering continues.
"The level of trauma experienced by the fox prior to its death and the manner in which it died is completely unacceptable and debunks the myth that foxes killed by packs of hounds are dispatched with a 'quick nip to the back of the neck'."
League Scotland Director Robbie Marsland added: "We look forward to the Scottish government strengthening the law to make sure that no other foxes are killed in this dreadful and repugnant way."
The Countryside Alliance said the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Foxhounds operated under a "strict protocol" in accordance with the law.
A spokesperson said: "In compliance with the law the fox in question had been shot on being flushed from cover by the hounds.
"The Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Foxhounds have an open and ongoing relationship with Police Scotland, one that includes the notification of their activities in advance of hunting days and a facility for direct contact with Police Scotland throughout.
"It is clear that the Lanarkshire & Renfrewshire were acting both legally and responsibly in the control of foxes.
"Wild and unsubstantiated claims from animal rights organisations about suffering are both predictable and ridiculous."
The Scottish government said Lord Bonomy's review of the law on foxhunting would be published shortly.
A spokeswoman said: "We're grateful to those who made a submission to the Rt Hon Lord Bonomy's review.
"Scottish ministers will carefully consider his report and, as previously committed, will consult on any consequent proposals for change to the current arrangements."
The 23-time winner from Morecambe won last year's senior race and is just three wins away from the late Joey Dunlop's all-time record of 26 wins.
The machines are on display at the TT paddock behind the grandstand in Douglas.
The racer said it celebrates his "incredible journey so far".
He added that the collection he has personally gathered defines his 20-year TT race career.
It features several of his winning bikes from the past two decades, including the Paul Bird Motorsport RS250 Honda that he raced in his debut year.
He said: "I can still clearly remember setting off down Bray Hill on the RS250. It was four seasons in one day - wet, dry, wind, sun, fog and mist.
"The TT means so much to me and it's been an incredible journey so far, a journey that the fans have all been part of, so hopefully people will come down and enjoy the experience."
Other bikes also include the centenary-winning bike on which he became the first rider to break the 130mph mark
McGuinness, who holds the absolute lap record, is the first rider to pass 127, 128, 129 and 131mph.
Joint Warrior is one of Europe's largest Nato exercises and is held twice a year in and around Scotland.
Sailors and warships of the US Naval Force Europe-Africa/US 6th Fleet are among those involved in the UK-led war games.
Images released by the American naval force show the ships and their crews arriving at Faslane on the Clyde for the start of the exercise last month.
Other pictures show some of the training that has been taking place, including live firing exercises at a military range at Cape Wrath in Sutherland.
A bloc of left-wing parliamentarians, of which Sinn Féin is a member, proposed the measure in Strasbourg.
The amendment was defeated by 374 votes to 66.
Sinn Féin said the outcome was disappointing, but it will continue to campaign for special status.
Sinn Féin MEP Matt Carthy, who represents the Republic of Ireland's Midlands-North-West constituency said: "We have already ensured that the European Parliament is in agreement that the Good Friday Agreement should be protected in all its parts.
"Moreover, the European Council's negotiation guidelines support the need to protect the Good Friday Agreement and recognise the unique circumstances on the island of Ireland and the need for flexible and imaginative solutions.
"We are engaging with hundreds of political representatives and officials from across Europe in order to gather further support for special status for the north within the EU and will continue to do so," he added.
The DUP MEP, Diane Dodds, welcomed the vote: "Since last June, Sinn Féin and others have made a special designated status their big ticket priority for Brexit.
"It is clear that support for this scenario has gained little traction.
"The negotiating guidelines published by the European Parliament and Council earlier this year make no reference to a special designated status and both governments in London and Dublin have failed to back the proposal.
"Ultimately this week's vote by MEPs is further demonstration that Sinn Féin's Brexit charm offensive has failed miserably.
"Moving forward the DUP will continue to work tirelessly, engaging closely with stakeholders across sectors affected, and using our influence both at Westminster and in Brussels, to ensure that our Province gets the best possible deal from Brexit," she added.
After the debate, the Ulster Unionist MEP Jim Nicholson criticised Sinn Féin for using the term "the north of Ireland" to refer to Northern Ireland.
He said: "They say they want "special status", but they cannot even say the name of the region they want this special status for.
"It is clear for all to see that Sinn Fein's concern is not the economic wellbeing of the people of Northern Ireland, rather it is about trying to use the European Parliament as a platform for anti-UK posturing." he added.
The green laser is thought to have been aimed from the Merkinch area at about 19:00 on Sunday.
The Coastguard helicopter was being used in the search for a man who is believed to have fallen into the river in Inverness earlier that day.
Police said using the laser in this manner was "extremely reckless".
A spokesman added: "Such use could have dangerous consequences for the person distracted - who in this particular instance, was the pilot of an aircraft - in addition to any crew on-board and also the general public."
Police have appealed to anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
The man, in his 70s, crashed his car in Bank End in Cumbria just after 17:00 BST on Saturday.
Cumbria Police said residents and motorists rushed to help and gave first aid until an air ambulance arrived.
But a spokesman for the force said the man, who has not been formally identified, died at the crash site between Duddon Bridge and Ulpha.
The 21-year-old from Uttoxeter broke his own world mark by winning in 57.13 seconds, well clear of the field.
Peaty is the first British man to win an Olympic swimming gold medal since Adrian Moorhouse, who won the same event in Seoul in 1988.
Welsh star Jazz Carlin won silver in the women's 400m freestyle soon after.
"It's so surreal to get Team GB's first gold," said Peaty, who finished more than 1.5 seconds clear of his nearest rival.
"I came out tonight and took the first 50 easy and came back with everything I have got. I did it for my country and that means so much for me."
South African Cameron van der Burgh, the London 2012 champion, took silver, while Cody Miller won bronze for the USA.
Peaty, who was already the world, European and Commonwealth champion, emulates the achievement of fellow Britons David Wilkie (1976), Duncan Goodhew (1980) and Adrian Moorhouse (1988) in winning breaststroke gold.
It took five days for Britain to win their first gold at London 2012, but Peaty's medal came on the second day of action in Rio.
Peaty, making his Olympic debut in Rio, has been dominant from the first moment he got into the pool at the weekend, having first broken his own world record with a time of 57.55secs in the heats.
Moorhouse, who dominated British swimming in the late 1980s, believes Peaty's physical and mental attributes sets him apart from his rivals.
"He is very good at turning threats to opportunities," he said.
"He has the technical ability and talent to do this and can then cope with the pressure of the moment and put a bubble around himself. He has got everything."
Five-times Olympic swimmer Mark Foster added: "Everything just went right.
"He has had problems with his start but he has worked on it tirelessly and everything came right for him.
"I knew the race was over before it started. Physically he is an absolutely beast.
Rebecca Adlington, who won two Olympic swimming gold medals at Beijing 2008, said: "His stroke and power is incredible."
Peaty's achievement delighted British Olympic team-mates Adam Gemili and Greg Rutherford.
Sprinter Gemili said that Peaty was "in a class of his own", while long jumper Rutherford said on social media: "The whole of GB tower here in the village erupted when Adam Peaty won. What a brilliant feeling."
BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce:
"This was more than just Britain's first gold medal of these Rio Olympics, it was one of the finest displays by a British athlete in Olympic history.
"To win over 100m by 1.56 seconds, to leave the last Olympic champion more than a body length behind, is extraordinary even by the exalted standards Adam Peaty has set in his young career.
"Wilkie 1976, Goodhew 1980, Moorhouse 1988, and now Peaty 2016. The moment a young man's life changed forever."

Peaty still lives with his parents in his hometown of Uttoxeter in Staffordshire and was afraid of water as a child.
The City of Derby swimmer rose to prominence in 2014, taking two golds at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He has also won eight European golds and three world golds.
Shortlisted for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in 2014 and 2015, Peaty became the first man to go under 58 seconds in the 100m breaststroke at the world trials last year, setting what was then a world record of 57.92secs.
He has lowered that time by 0.79secs in Rio.
Peaty's grandmother Mavis, or Olympic Nan as she has called herself, is becoming a bit of a star on social media.
Mavis has been following her grandson's exploits in the pool from her home in Staffordshire and has also been showing her enthusiasm on social media.
Since Sunday morning, she has gone from 106 Twitter followers to more than 3,000.

After Peaty qualified for the final, Mavis told BBC Radio 5 live: "Caroline [Adam Peaty's mum] had to phone me because I said: 'I can't get this telly on'. I couldn't get the red button going. Then I thought I know what I can do - my iPad. So I got the BBC up on my iPad and I watched it on there.
"Since I've been going to watch Adam, it's given me a new life, a different life, that I never dreamed of. I've loved every minute of it.."

The 39-year-old has made 694 career appearances, reaching the 2003 FA Cup final with the Saints and winning promotion with Derby and Leicester.
He has been at the Devon side since an initial loan spell in 2011, playing 172 times without scoring a goal.
"He's been a great servant to Exeter in the five-and-a-half years he's been at the club," said manager Paul Tisdale.
"There are few players in modern football with his CV and achievements at the top level, who actively give something back to the game at the lower level once their elite playing days are over."
Oakley made his name with Southampton, making 311 appearances in a 12-year spell at the Hampshire side.
He could still play a part as Exeter attempt to gain promotion from League Two via the play-offs - if they are successful, it would mean the veteran will have gone up from all three EFL divisions.
Donegal seized control after a tight opening and the hosts scored the final five points of the first half to lead 0-9 to 0-4 at the break.
Tyrone failed to find a response in an ill-tempered second half as Donegal easily secured the two points.
Dublin top the table after drawing with Kerry and head Donegal and Tyrone on scoring difference.
Tyrone went into the Ulster derby as league leaders but they were dominated by a determined Donegal team as the rain fell.
Peter Harte hit two points to bring Tyrone level at 0-4 to 0-4 but from here the game belonged to the hosts.
Ryan McHugh, Michael Murphy, Paddy McGrath and Hugh McFadden split the post before Ciaran Thompson added his third point of the game to ensure a five-point advantage at half-time.
Tyrone captain Sean Cavanagh scored the first and last point of the second half but there was nothing else to cheer for the Red Hands.
Cain Mulligan, Martin O'Reilly and McFadden tagged on Donegal points in a second 35 minutes littered with melees and off-the ball clashes.
Donegal's Paddy McGrath was black-carded while Tyrone pair Justin McMahon and Mark picked up yellow cards.
It was an excellent display by Donegal, who sit second and above their Ulster rivals courtesy of a better head-to-head record.
"Both sides know it was the league and we use it to try to make improvements for the championship," said Donegal captain Michael Murphy.
"We're happy with some facets of our game but we didn't push on in the second half and we are not happy with that."

The measure sees a child placed with extended family, friends or foster parents until they reach 18 instead of being adopted or fostered.
The number of babies involved rose from 160 in 2012 to 520 in 2014, while most of the children are aged four or under.
The number of children placed for adoption has been falling.
The Department for Education says it is reviewing the situation.
But a spokeswoman said the orders were effective in many circumstances.
Special guardianship is a long-term placement and can be an alternative to adoption or care for children whose parents neglect or abuse them.
The process can be "quite speedy" and "is not nearly as thorough" as adopting, said BBC Today programme reporter Sanchia Berg.
Groups working with families have welcomed the fact more children can live safely with relatives or friends - but there are concerns too.
Andy Elvin, chief executive of fostering and adoption charity TACT, said children living with extended family "is a good thing".
But he said there were concerns over whether assessments were detailed enough, saying some family members may not be close to the child before the process begins.
He also raised concerns the level of "post-placement" support was not as high as it was after adoption.
Cathy Ashley, chief executive of justice charity Family Rights Group, said there was evidence that being placed with extended family was beneficial.
But she said it "isn't right that there isn't parity of support".
Hugh Thornbery, chief executive of Adoption UK, said special guardianship had provided "permanence" for many children.
He said: "The research evidence points to their success when used in the right circumstance and where the right support is provided to the carers."
But he added: "Adoption UK's concern is that the drop in adoptions could be partly as a result of over-reliance on special guardianship orders in cases where they may not be appropriate or provide the lifelong permanence that adoption provides."
The last official set of figures for adoptions in England were released in November 2014. They show that in the three months to June 2014, there were 960 initial decisions to place a child for adoption, compared with 1,830 in the three months to September 2013.
There has been a delay in publishing more up-to-date statistics because of the election, but figures cited by the Independent newspaper this month suggest the trend has continued.
The British Association for Adoption and Fostering told the BBC that recent court rulings had underlined local councils' need to consider all options, such as placing with birth relatives before seeking adoption.
The Department for Education said: "Councils have told us the way they use SGOs has evolved over the 10 years since their introduction, including a rise in orders for younger children in more recent years.
"That is why we are taking the opportunity to ensure SGOs are only used in the right circumstances, as well as reviewing the existing good practice and support available for special guardians.
"We will report back in due course."
A quarter of the children questioned for the survey thought team mates would cheat frequently if they could get away with it.
Ninety per cent of the 1,002 eight- to 16-year-olds said their team-mates felt pressure to win while playing sport.
More than a third said they felt no remorse at winning by cheating.
The survey for the MCC and the Cricket Foundation charity found as many as one in 20 of those questioned said they were proud to have arrived at victory dishonestly.
Yet about half said they would have felt angry or frustrated if they lost a game because of cheating by the other team. And one in five insisted that their teammates had never cheated.
The majority of children said they felt the pressure to win came from other children and their teammates, while a smaller number said the pressure came from parents and teachers.
Examples of cheating cited by the respondents to the survey included tripping up or fouling people, diving and or hitting other players with hockey sticks. Other tricks used to win included not running the right number of laps in cross-country races.
Wasim Khan, chief executive of the Cricket Foundation, said: "It is a real concern to us that so many youngsters struggle in this 'pressure cooker' to win at all costs. We teach children the importance of playing sport competitively and fairly whilst also respecting the rules and the opposition."
The chief executive of the MCC, Derek Brewer, said: "This survey highlights the pressures children feel under when playing sport. With this backdrop it is vital that children are taught the importance of playing sport in the correct spirit."
The children were questioned by Opinion Matters in February and March.
The results come several weeks after the education secretary for England announced plans to increase the amount of competitive sport played in school, and at an earlier age.
The Cricket Foundation runs the Chance to Shine initiative, which aims to encourage the playing of competitive cricket in state schools.
The bigger story is that she spotted both a gap in the market and a way to celebrate the two parts of her cultural identity - being British and a Muslim.
The 29-year-old from Luton is the founder of newly launched ready-meals business Ieat Foods (as in "I eat"), which makes a range of traditional British and Italian dishes - such as shepherd's pie and lasagne - prepared in the halal manner - according to Islamic dietary law.
Ms Saleem first came up with the idea for the company when she was at Warwick University eight years ago, because she was fed up with having to buy vegetarian food to avoid non-halal meals.
"Most of my friends at university were non-Muslims, and when we did a weekly food shop together their trolleys were full of really tasty-looking ready meals, and all I could buy were things like cheese and onion pasties," she says.
"It was really frustrating, and I used to whinge a lot that I was missing out. I thought, why wasn't anyone making halal ready meals, other than the odd curry?
"That was when I decided I needed to do something about it. While moonlighting on other things, I then spent the next eight years putting together all the pieces of the jigsaw that needed to be in place before I launched Ieat."
Ms Saleem can certainly be described as a serial entrepreneur.
Good at sport, while at university she ran her own sports-coaching academies, focusing on netball and hockey.
While not making a fortune, she said it provided enough money to pay her bills.
And in recent years she bought and redeveloped a holiday resort in Cambodia.
Yet after leaving university Ms Saleem first got a salaried job, working for UK entrepreneur Peter Jones, one of the "dragons" from the BBC TV show Dragons' Den, in which inventors and business people pitch for investment.
She says that getting a job in Mr Jones' investment and portfolio office was an "unbelievable opportunity", and a great way to learn about running a business.
But just two years later, aged 25, she resigned.
"It was great working for Peter, but I needed to go and do something for myself," she says. "I needed to push myself."
So, having built up some savings, she left the UK and went to Cambodia. Despite no experience in the travel industry, she bought 50% of a run-down holiday resort.
"Some people thought I was mad, but I needed to go and do something completely different," she says.
"I was like a project manager, and we turned the development into Cambodia's first eco-resort. We made a success of it, and ultimately I sold my share."
Returning to the UK, Ms Saleem says it was time to finally launch Ieat Foods.
She says the final impetus for setting up the company was the death of her father at the beginning of 2013.
"One of the last things he said to me was, 'You must go and do it, and make it successful'," she says.
Ms Saleem conducted market research, which showed there were thousands of second-generation UK Muslims like her who wanted to buy halal ready-meal versions of traditional British and Italian dishes, made from all natural ingredients, and that tasted good.
"The first generation of Muslims who came to this country typically would have stuck to the food they were used to," she says. "But us younger Muslims want to try different types of foods, we want to eat the 'normal' foods that British people do.
"Ieat gives those that follow the halal rules a convenient and healthy chance to do so."
Ms Saleem says her next task was to establish a supply chain she could trust, with all the food ingredients being fully traceable. A halal-only factory in Yorkshire was secured, and all natural recipes finalised.
Then six months ago, Sainsbury's agreed to take Ieat Foods' first 12 product lines in its stores in London, Birmingham and Leicester, and they are now being stocked.
But isn't halal slaughter - which involves cutting the animal's throat without first stunning the animal - at odds with the business's boast of good animal-welfare practice and ethics?
She says: "There are lots of credible studies which show that when done correctly there is no more suffering than non-halal.
"I have hand-picked the best suppliers who adhere to the highest welfare standards, not just at the time of slaughter, but throughout the life of the animals."
With just five employees at present, Ms Saleem has big plans to expand Ieat Foods.
"I get my ambition from my parents, who came to this country from Sri Lanka with nothing and both worked multiple jobs to make a good life for themselves and their family," she says.
"And my faith and my British identity is why I'm doing this particular business. I'm just mixing the two."

He joins the coaching team of Roberto Martinez, who replaced Marc Wilmots at the start of August.
"Thierry is an important figure," said former Everton boss Martinez. "He will bring something different. He agreed right away to join us."
Henry, 39, tweeted: "Honoured to be assistant coach, very excited, can't wait."
Henry will work alongside Graeme Jones, who served with Martinez at Swansea, Wigan and Everton.
Martinez also named his first senior squad on Friday, ahead of their friendly against Spain on Thursday 1 September.
The Spaniard took over from Wilmots, who was sacked after Belgium were beaten 3-1 by Wales in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.

The patent infringement allegations concern data transmission technologies involved in 4G and other types of mobile networks.
The Canadian firm claims several of Nokia's transmitters and software programs use its intellectual property.
Nokia told the BBC that it was looking into the matter.
"We're aware of the complaint, will study the claims made and take whatever steps are necessary to defend our rights," said a spokeswoman.
The case is being pursued in the US.
Blackberry is seeking payment, rather than trying to block Nokia's use of the 11 patents, according to court documents published by the news site Ars Technica.
The filings include claims that Nokia was aware of the patents' existence as it had previously tried to buy some before Blackberry acquired them itself, and that the Finnish firm had also cited related documents in other legal disputes.
The two companies previously clashed in 2012, when Nokia sought to have the sale of Blackberry smartphones banned in the US, UK and Canada in a separate patent row.
Both firms have since stopped designing their own mobile phones and have instead licensed the right to use their brands to other handset makers.
To mark the 60th birthday of TMS, an Agnew XI captained by Phil Tufnell will face a Boycott XI skippered by Michael Vaughan on Thursday, 24 August at Sports Park Weetwood (part of the University of Leeds), the day before the Headingley Test between England and West Indies.
As well as Tuffers and Vaughan, other ex-England internationals taking part will include Charlotte Edwards, Graeme Swann, Lydia Greenway, Ed Smith, Isa Guha and Ebony Rainford-Brent.
They will be joined by other familiar TMS voices including Alison Mitchell, Simon Mann, Simon Hughes, Charles Dagnall and Fazeer Mohammed - and cricket-loving celebrities including Olympic runner Yohan Blake, BBC Radio 1's Greg James, McFly's Harry Judd, Tom "Draco Malfoy" Felton from the Harry Potter films, BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty, comedians Andy Parsons and Dom Joly, and actor and dancer Adam Garcia.
Commentary will be provided by TMS's Henry Blofeld and Dan Norcross, joined by special guests including Paralympic legend Baroness Grey-Thompson and actor Jim Carter (best known as Carson the butler from Downton Abbey) - while TMS's ex-England pair Vic Marks and James Taylor will be umpiring.

Snowdonia Enterprise Zone chairman John Idris Jones is to address a government-sponsored conference on Monday as the Trawsfynydd site could be considered.
The small reactors, used on nuclear submarines, are cheaper and generate as much power as the old reactors.
Opponents claim the "experimental" technology is still untested.
They also insist sites such as Trawsfynydd are only proposed due to their remote location and small population.
"I would hope that Trawsfynydd will be one of the main sites for this type of reactor," Mr Jones told the Newyddion 9 programme.
"We have all the necessary resources, the lake for cooling water, we have connections to the national grid and we have an educated local workforce.
"If the 300 mega watt reactor was built there that would lead to 300 jobs as well as 300 associated jobs in the local area."
The Trawsfynydd site, the UK's only inland nuclear power station, was mothballed in 1991 after 26 years in operation.
But Deilwen Evans of anti-nuclear group CADNO warned: "It is always the case that we accept jobs that imperil the community or do we go for jobs at any cost?
"Maybe 'small nuclear reactor' gives the impression that these are safer but they are totally experimental and totally new so we have nothing to go on apart from their say so.
"My concern is they have not been tried or tested.
"I don't believe in nuclear power because of the waste it makes and I believe there should be a public inquiry into the health effects of the last power station in this area."
As nuclear power stations become larger and more expensive, it is difficult to finance projects such as the £18bn Hinckley C nuclear power station in Somerset.
Some in the nuclear industry believe the future lies with smaller reactors, which will be under discussion at Monday's conference in London.
NuScale Power, an American company that designs and markets small modular reactors, hope to build a small-scale nuclear reactor by the mid 2020s in the United States.
But it could be as late as 2030 when the first small scale reactor is up and running in the UK.
The UK government has invited companies, including Rolls Royce, to submit designs for small-scale reactors and it is expected that further policy announcements to be announced in the coming year.
The midfielder, 24, is a free agent after leaving Swindon Town, having previously played for Brighton, Exeter and Oldham.
James Forrest scored the only goal as Celtic beat second-tier side Linz.
"Anton has come with us just to get fit really," manager Rodgers told Celtic TV.
"His season won't start down in England for another week or so. So I asked him to come in. Then we had a few injuries to midfield players, Eboue Kouassi and Kris Ajer.
"I know he can play, he is technically very gifted, Anton. He has a good view of the game and he can come in and slot in and play with the players, and I thought he did very well."
Celtic made 11 substitutions and new signing Jonny Hayes played the opening 45 minutes.
They start their competitive season against either Linfield or La Fiorita in the Champions League second qualifying round, with the first leg during the second week in July.
A proposal has been put forward for a "sustainable village" with shops and leisure facilities to be built on the 420-acre ex-RAF base, near Cirencester.
The airport's directors, with developer Commercial Estates Group, have offered the idea to Cotswold District Council for planners to consider.
The site once housed the Red Arrows and dates back to the 1930s when it was created for training and maintenance.
Matthew Tunley, from the developer, said: "If the site was to be developed for housing, it is likely the airport would close.
"But in terms of timescales we're obviously at an early stage in the planning process and would need to understand what those implications were."
The proposals for the airport site - on the Gloucestershire-Wiltshire border - are expected to lead to further consultation later this year.
"Cotswold Airport is a huge site of circa 420 acres and this is now an opportunity to explore a thoroughly mixed-use development including retained and enhanced employment, housing, leisure and community facilities," said an airport spokesperson.
Kathryn Bigelow was speaking as Detroit is released in the wake of the violent clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.
She said she wanted to meet racism "head-on", adding: "To do nothing is not an option".
John Boyega, who stars in the film, said: "We all have a voice and we all have a responsibility to speak out."
The London-born actor has shared footage of the clashes on Twitter, in which one person died and 19 others were injured, when a car rammed a crowd of people opposing a far-right rally.
"It's so weird, the timing of everything - but now it makes this movie very necessary, for perspective and also to see just how little has been done, and to hopefully spark a positive conversation."
Talking about Charlottesville, Bigelow said: "It's just a horrific tragedy and I feel the urgency to have a conversation about race in America is even more vital than ever."
She added: "Even though this story takes place 50 years ago, it feels, sadly, very much like today and therefore tomorrow. Until there's a meaningful conversation about race in America, I'm worried these events will keep happening."
She said she did not see the film, starring John Boyega and Will Poulter, as being "entertainment", but rather "a dramatisation of true events".
To that end, the film mixes in news footage from the riots - and people who were there, including Melvin Dismukes, played by Boyega, and Julie Hysell, portrayed in the film by Skins' Hannah Murray.
Bigelow - the first woman to win a best director Oscar, for The Hurt Locker - added: "If there's the chance for the film to generate a dialogue that's meaningful and positive and can generate some transformation, that would of course be my greatest aspiration.
"Any opportunity to meet head-on with the pervasiveness of racism is really important."
Boyega said at the Detroit premiere that the racism portrayed in the film felt worryingly contemporary.
He said: "It's crazy - I find it hard to even gather my thoughts on it, it's so unexpected and unfortunate. It's mad, the world is changing."
Boyega, perhaps best known as Finn in Star Wars, plays a security guard tasked with protecting a grocery shop from looters, who then becomes embroiled in the Algiers Motel incident, which left three young men dead.
Asked whether it was a departure from the sci-fi franchise, he said: "The best sci-fi has social commentary. And I have the same commitment for Star Wars as I would for Detroit. I only appear in things I would want to watch."
Will Poulter, who plays a Detroit police officer central to the violence inflicted on residents of the motel, said of the current situation in the US: "I think for a lot of people it's hard to believe it's even happening. It feels like a true regression as far as the human race is concerned."

It has started putting "region-locks" on games bought via its Steam service in Russia so only people in that country can play them.
The move is an attempt to stop people outside the country buying games that are far cheaper from the Russian store.
Many games costing $40 (£25) on the US Steam store cost only a few dollars in Russia.
The Steam Prices website, which logs price differences across the regional Steam game networks, reveals many games are currently up to 10 times more expensive in the US and UK than they are in Russia.
Falling oil prices and economic sanctions have conspired to cause the value of the rouble to lose more than half its value against the US dollar this year. Earlier this week one dollar was worth 79 roubles though the currency has recovered since and now $1 buys about 61 roubles.
Valve's move is the first time that region locks have been imposed on games available via the hugely popular Steam service. Valve has yet to issue a comment on its decision to lock games.
Earlier this week Apple also reacted to the economic turmoil in Russia by halting sales made via the Russian version of its online store. It said exchange rates were too volatile for it to set prices. | The United States regained the Curtis Cup with a 13-7 win over Great Britain & Ireland in Missouri.

The charity says it supported 1,805 people from April 2015 to March 2016.
By comparison, it had 378 referrals between July 2011 and June 2012 - its first year of operating the government contract to support victims.
The Home Office said the rise was a sign that efforts to highlight modern slavery were working.
Sarah Newton, minister for safeguarding, vulnerability and countering extremism, said: "Slavery has long been hidden in plain sight, and our policy is designed to encourage more victims to come forward and ask for help.
"We welcome increases in the number of referrals as a sign that our efforts to shine a light on modern slavery are working."
One slavery victim said she came to England from south-east Asia to work as a servant in the home of a wealthy family.
She says she was forced to work 14 hours a day for less than £100 a week, and that she even had to work on building sites.
"I felt like a chained dog. It was like I was digging my own grave.
"Even though I'm out now, I still feel like I'm in chains. I still have nightmares that my boss is chasing me."
The woman, who wants to remain anonymous, is now at a safe house in Manchester and is applying for asylum to stay in the UK.
Anne Read, director of anti-trafficking and modern slavery at the Salvation Army, said the nature of the crime meant it was "always difficult to know the full extent of the problem" and the increase in referrals could be because there were more victims but also "improvements in training and awareness-raising".
However, she added that the minimum 45-day reflection and recovery period granted by the government for victims of human trafficking or slavery was insufficient.
"If [victims] don't get the support that they need, then the potential is that they could, once again, be exploited and that's the worst thing that could happen as far as we're concerned.
"Forty-five days isn't long enough to support somebody - it gives them a chance to breathe, perhaps to recover their status quo, but it is only the very start of the process."
The Home Office said the 45-day duration was a minimum and could be extended by a further 14 days on certain grounds.
The Salvation Army said that:
Recent Home Office figures estimate there are between 10,000 and 13,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK, with 45 million victims worldwide.
In July, Prime Minister Theresa May wrote in the Sunday Telegraph that she wanted Britain to "lead the way in defeating modern slavery", adding that there would be a new UK cabinet taskforce while £33m from the aid budget would fund initiatives overseas.
A review to mark the first anniversary of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, which she drew up as home secretary, found 289 modern slavery offences were prosecuted last year.
The Salvation Army said that it was supporting victims from nearly 100 different countries.
Everton have agreed a club-record £45m deal to take the Iceland midfielder to Goodison Park from the Liberty Stadium.
The 27-year-old will have a medical in Liverpool on Wednesday.
"To lose that creativity, there isn't a player like that at Swansea at the moment," said Walsh on BBC Radio Wales Sport. "How much does it cost to replace a player like that?"
And Walsh added: "In my personal opinion, I think Gylfi Sigurdsson is irreplaceable."
The Iceland international scored nine goals and contributed 13 assists last season to help Swansea avoid relegation from the Premier League.
His 34 goals are the most scored by any Swansea player in the Premier League, and is also their leading creative influence with 29 assists.
The £45m fee is £5m less than the Swans wanted for Sigurdsson.
Swansea have been linked with their former midfielder Joe Allen from Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion's Nacer Chadli as potential replacements.
They have also shown an interest in striker Wilfried Bony, with last season's top scorer Fernando Llorente recovering from a broken arm and set to miss Saturday home game against Manchester United.
"Swansea have got a lot of hard work now, [Swansea manager] Paul Clement has got to have two or three players in the pipeline ready to go," added Walsh.
"They've got the money now, but they have to use it wisely.
"Joe Allen is talent but his price has gone up about £10m after his performances for Stoke last season.
"They need to strengthen up top because you don't know what Llorente is going to be doing. They need players in two or three different positions."
Former England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright believes Sigurdsson is the best player in the Premier League outside the top five clubs.
Speaking on Sky Sports News, he said the transfer was bad news for the Welsh club.
"It's fantastic for Everton, but a disaster for Swansea City," he said.
It is the 23-year-old's eighth loan move away from Old Trafford.
He has previously been at Scunthorpe United, Walsall, Yeovil, Doncaster Rovers (twice) and his home town club Preston (twice).
Johnstone was part of Preston's promotion-winning team to the Championship in 2014-15.
He is the first signing made by Villa boss Steve Bruce since the former United favourite took charge in October.
"It's a massive opportunity," Johnstone told BBC WM. "Look at the size of the club. Look at the manager and his track record. Look at the players, the fans. You can't turn down something like this."
BBC WM's Mark Regan
"The move for Sam Johnstone was widely expected after summer signing Pierluigi Gollini found himself out of favour in the latter stages of 2016.
"It also signals an intent on the part of Steve Bruce to beef up his defensive ranks with a goalkeeper who has been highly thought of for some time and clearly has a big future ahead of him.
"I would expect the FA Cup tie at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday to be his debut for Villa and I suspect he`ll be the first choice keeper going into the second half of the season."

Gulam Chowdhury, 24, was convicted of murdering his love rival Mohammed Yasser Afzal at the Old Bailey.
Mr Afzal was killed outside a cab office in Broadway, Stratford, in March 2014.
The court heard Chowdhury, of Barking, plotted to kill Mr Afzal because of a row over a woman who had been in a relationship with both men.
The woman had told Chowdhury that Mr Afzal had compromising pictures of her on a mobile phone.
She had said he was threatening to expose their relationship to her parents, who did not approve.
Mr Afzal, from Forest Gate, was working at E20 Cars when he was stabbed 20 times in the attack on 24 March. He never regained consciousness.
Officers managed to place Chowdhury at the scene of the murder through mobile phone records.
Det Insp Euan McKeeve said: "Gulam Chowdhury carried out a ferocious assault on Mohammed Afzal.
"The level of violence used was shocking and ensured that Mohammed would not survive the attack."
Paul Hollywood, Sandi Toksvig, Noel Fielding and Prue Leith are fronting the show after Mary Berry, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins left last year.
One fan tweeted: "New #GBBO line-up is just... No!Bezza, Mel & Sue are irreplaceable 🎂â
Newmarket FC player Shaun Whiter, 27, had his legs amputated after the crash. His friend Joey Abbs was badly hurt.
Jan Adamec of Shetland Road, Haverhill, was charged with two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He did not enter a plea at Peterborough Magistrates' Court and is due before Cambridge Crown Court on 8 August.
More news from Suffolk
At the time of the crash in Newmarket on 1 July, Mr Abbs, a footballer with Cambridgeshire club Soham Town Rangers, had a flat tyre and Mr Whiter, an estate agent in Stansted, had pulled over to help.
Mogwai, Bloc Party and Rag'n'Bone Man are also set to perform at the Portmeirion festival, the organisers announced on Thursday.
Welsh acts include film director Kevin Allen talking about the sequel to cult movie Twin Town, Charlotte Church's Pop Dungeon, Gulp and Yucatan.
The event takes place between 7-10 September.
Festival founder Gareth Cooper said the line-up was "our most diverse bill to date with amazing artists from across the globe packing every stage".
Mannequins with faces very similar to that of the over-sized papier-mache creation formed part of their marketing campaign at their London store.
Chris Sievey, the man behind the cult figure from Timperley, Greater Manchester, lost his battle with throat cancer in June, aged 54.
The store has "sincerely" apologised.
Mr Sievey's partner Gemma Wood said she had received many phone calls since a national newspaper published photographs of Selfridges' display.
"People were very upset," she said.
But she added: "I spoke to the store on the phone and they said they were very sorry and are going to credit Chris."
Fans hope to build a permanent memorial to Sidebottom in Timperley, the suburb he immortalised.
James Malach, who still runs the star's Radio Timperley website, said: "On the one hand they should have asked permission from the family, which I'm sure they would have given, but on the other hand this is the kind of fuss which Chris/Frank would have loved."
A Selfridges spokesman added: "After investigation we can see why some fans of Chris Sievey's character as well as some of the creator's friends and family have reacted so quickly to this feature of our current windows.
"We sincerely apologise if this has offended anyone and we have been keen to resolve matters quickly.
"We have offered to give £10,000 to Chris Sievey's estate and for them to decide how to best use this donation.
"We will also ensure that a suitable acknowledgement is made to Mr Sievey's work in our window displays and in-store."
Schools could help by opening facilities to community groups out of hours, it says.
The National Association of Head Teachers said tight budgets saw many schools already hiring out their sites.
London School of Economics researchers studied sports provision in five poor areas in England and Wales.
Cost is the biggest barrier to taking part in sport for young people over school age, found the report, Moving the Goal Posts.
"They like gyms and would go if it wasn't for the cost barrier," it says.
"They also like the idea of team sports, but often there is a fee for participating and cost can become expensive."
The study, funded by the charity Street Games, says people aged 18-25 have been the most harshly affected by falling real wages and job security, reduced benefits and increased training costs.
Low incomes and debt problems mean even small additional costs are unaffordable, it adds.
School sport is often free or very low cost, but this provision ends when young people leave school, says the report.
In addition, teenagers are often wary of taking up informal, low-cost sporting activities, fearing anti-social behaviour and poor supervision of open spaces.
"It was eye-opening to learn just how much joining in matters to young people, how much informal games, outdoor activity and sport can inspire and motivate them, yet how many children and young people are held back from actively getting involved," said author, Prof Anne Power.
"Changing this would cost very little and help a lot."
The report recommends:
Ian Stephens, chairman of the Local Government Association's Culture, Tourism and Sport Board, said councils spent almost £1.4bn each year running leisure centres, swimming pools and open spaces.
"However, they face difficult decisions about how they provide access to some facilities as they try to protect vital services like caring for the elderly, fixing the roads and waste collection," he said.
"Many are finding new creative ways to managing leisure services and are joining with each other to share services, negotiate contracts to get the most out of every pound, source external funding and work with voluntary groups, local sports clubs and business to keep costs down and keep services going."
National Association of Head Teachers general secretary Russell Hobby said opening sport facilities to the community could make sense for schools.
"Many schools already promote this," he said.
"This needs to be negotiated with the school, of course.
"And we should remember that some schools are renting out their facilities already to try to stave off a deficit."
Jesse Matthew, 32, was seen walking with Hannah Graham, 18, on CCTV footage on the night she disappeared in Charlottesville, where she is a student at the University of Virginia.
Mr Matthew was last seen speeding off from a police station on Saturday.
Police also said they were "absolutely" still searching for Ms Graham, who went missing on 13 September.
On Saturday, after Mr Matthew came to the attention of the investigators who had seen him on the CCTV footage by Ms Graham's side, he visited a police station in Charlottesville accompanied by relatives, spoke briefly with officers, then asked for a lawyer.
He was allowed to leave, then drove away from the police station at high speed, prompting police to charge him with reckless driving.
On Tuesday, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo told reporters that investigators had "reached that point where [Virginia] had sufficient probable cause" to charge Mr Matthew with abduction with intent to defile.
Mr Longo said he could not offer further details.
Earlier, police said they had evidence that a man matching Mr Matthew's description entered a bar with Ms Graham and purchased alcohol during the night.
British-born Ms Graham went missing after attending a party in Charlottesville on that Friday night.
The second-year University of Virginia student, who appeared to be drunk, was seen on CCTV footage in several different locations throughout the town.
She was seen walking, and at some points running, past a pub and a service station.
In the last few sightings, Ms Graham is seen walking through the main shopping street in Charlottesville. At two separate points, Mr Matthew is seen walking beside Ms Graham .
At 01:20 Ms Graham sent a text message to a friend saying she was lost.
There were no subsequent sightings of the teenager.
On Sunday her British parents, who moved from the UK to Washington DC when Ms Graham was five, made an appeal for help in the search for their daughter.
"All we want to do now is to bring Hannah home safely and I appeal to anybody who knows anything please, please help us," said her father John Graham.
"This is every parent's worst nightmare. We need to find out what happened to Hannah and make sure it happens to no-one else."
On Saturday, around 1,000 people, among them some of Ms Graham's schoolmates, joined in a police search of the town.
In a newspaper interview, David Coburn is alleged to have said: "Humza Yousaf, or as I call him, Abu Hamza".
Mr Yousaf told BBC Scotland the comment was "Islamophobic" and "among the worst racial slurs" he had ever received.
A UKIP spokesman denied the comparison had been made and said it was a "slip of the tongue" on Mr Coburn's part.
Mr Yousaf, Scotland's minister for external affairs and international development, has written to UKIP leader Nigel Farage demanding that Mr Coburn, who is Scotland's only UKIP MEP, is expelled from the party.
Mr Yousaf said he was taking legal advice on the matter.
"I'm the first to tell people to report it, so if potentially a crime has been committed - and as I say, I'm seeking legal advice on that - then of course I will report him to the police.
"If not, then, you know, at least - at the very least - the political party UKIP should certainly be taking disciplinary action against him."
Radical cleric Abu Hamza was sentenced to life in prison for a string of terrorism offences by a judge in New York in January, after being extradited from the UK.
Hamza, who previously lived in London, was jailed in the UK for seven years in 2006 for soliciting murder and inciting racial hatred.
The comments were reportedly made over the telephone to a Daily Mail reporter during a conversation about the BBC Scotland's Big Immigration Debate, which took place earlier this week.
Mr Coburn is reported to have said: "Humza Yousaf, or as I call him, Abu Hamza, didn't seem to turn up."
Speaking to BBC Scotland, Glasgow MSP Mr Yousaf said: "I have had racist and Islamophobic slurs many times over the years, but this is among the worst. For this to come from an elected representative is beyond the pale and completely unacceptable."
He added: "This is an insult to the entire Muslim community, which is fighting Islamophobia in society. It has caused hurt and deep offense. David Coburn should resign, and if he does not, Nigel Farage should remove him from UKIP."
Scotland's main political parties have united in condemning Mr Coburn's reported comments, with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon describing them as "reprehensible".
She added: "For David Coburn to effectively compare Humza to a convicted terrorist because he is Muslim is disgraceful and he must surely face consequences for that."
Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy said: "This isn't the first time that Mr Coburn has been caught out for having vile views. People across Scotland, including even those who voted for him, will now want to see the back of him."
Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservatives tweeted: "Totally unacceptable. Our country is better than this. And he's got form. Mindless idiot."
Meanwhile, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie called Mr Coburn "an offensive fool".
Mazhar Khan, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Scotland, said: "The stereotyping of Muslims as extremists and terrorists is one the most shameful forms of Islamophobia, and constantly used by right-wing groups such as the BNP and the English/Scottish Defence League to caricature Muslims.
"The fact that UKIP is no stranger to such controversy and has regularly been accused of having racists within its ranks only exacerbates the offence."
Mr Coburn was reported in the Daily Mail as saying he offered his "sincerest apologies" for the comments.
However, UKIP's Scottish chairman, Arthur Misty Thackeray, denied a comparison with Abu Hamza had been made, and said his colleague had made a "slip of the tongue" and "got a name wrong".
He added: "He simply got a name wrong, which many people do on a daily basis.
"For example, I very often get referred to as Minty, which I believe is a character from EastEnders, but I don't take offence at that and run greeting to the papers about Mistyphobia."
It is being promoted by the Church in Wales and premiered in a film festival at St Asaph Cathedral, Denbighshire, on Tuesday.
One gay contributor said the church had once felt a "painful place".
In April, the Archbishop of Wales issued an apology to gay people for prejudice shown in the past.
Rev Sarah Hildreth-Osborn, rector at Llanrwst in Conwy county, said: "Over the last two or three years I have begun to discover what it means not to have to live a frightened life, hidden away, terrified of what other people might think of me if they find out I'm gay.
"I don't live like that any more. I'm very happy."
The film "All One in Christ" was filmed over two days with members of Changing Attitude a network of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and heterosexual members of the Church in Wales.
Mike Jones from Changing Attitude said contributors described the "pain experienced" as a result of being made to feel "unwelcome" or "rejected" by the church
"But the film is also full of faith, and hope, and even love, for a church that continues to struggle with accepting people whatever their sexuality," he said.
The film has been made with Lottery funding and produced by organisers of the Iris Prize, the LGBT short film prize.
Archbishop of Wales Dr Barry Morgan said: "This film will not be easy watching for church members as it reminds us how people among us have been ostracised and mistreated because of their sexuality.
"By sharing the personal stories of those who have suffered and been hurt I hope this powerful film will bring home to all the scale of the damage done and ultimately help change attitudes within the church."
Midfielder Jacques Maghoma will also be included after missing Blues' 1-1 draw at Cardiff City.
Newcastle full-back DeAndre Tedlin will be out for several weeks with a thigh injury, with Vurnon Anita or Jesus Gamez likely to take his place.
Centre-back Ciaran Clark is a doubt for the trip to St Andrews after picking up a knock to his knee.
The Senegal international, 25, has signed a four-year contract.
Gueye has made 134 appearances for Ligue 1 side Lille and been capped 18 times by his country.
"He's been one of the best young midfielders in France for the last few seasons. A lot of clubs were trying to sign him," said Villa boss Tim Sherwood.
"I believe we are signing a player who is hungry to succeed, is entering what should be his best years and is perfectly suited to the Premier League."
Last month Villa signed midfielder Scott Sinclair, 26, from Manchester City and defender Micah Richards, also from Manchester City.

Mr Hickey complained of heart problems as he was arrested on Wednesday over the alleged illegal sale of tickets.
He has temporarily stepped down from his position as the Olympic Council of Ireland's president, although he denies the allegations.
Mr Hickey was dramatically arrested at his Rio hotel on Wednesday morning.
He was escorted off the premises wearing his dressing gown to face questions about his alleged role in a scheme to sell Olympic tickets for higher than their face value.
The Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) said on Thursday night that Mr Hickey had been "discharged from hospital" and "accompanied to a police station to complete a deposition".
The Republic of Ireland's sports minister has suggested there will be an independent inquiry into the scandal.
Speaking after arriving at Dublin Airport from Brazil on Thursday, Shane Ross said a decision will be taken on Friday regarding the nature of the inquiry, after he has discussed the issue with the Irish attorney general.
Mr Ross said that the situation had moved a long way since his meeting with Mr Hickey on Monday.
He said that then he was "absolutely shattered" by Mr Hickey's attitude.
He said they had felt all along that an independent inquiry was the most important thing to give it credibility.
Asked if the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) would accept that, the minister said that the OCI will not have any option, adding that were going to have an independent inquiry anyway.
But Mr Ross added that his department needed to be very sensitive and they will do nothing to prejudice what is happening in Rio de Janeiro.
William O'Brien, who has temporarily taken over from Mr Hickey as OCI president, visited his former boss in hospital.
Speaking to reporters outside Samaritano Hospital in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday night, Mr O'Brien said OCI officials had been granted "restricted access" during their visit.
He added that Mr Hickey did not discuss the allegations against him. In an interview with Irish broadcaster RTE last week, Mr Hickey denied any wrongdoing in relation to ticket sales.
"He has made no comment because, as you can understand, he is having all sorts of tests inside," said Mr O'Brien.
The interim OCI president said he also could not comment on the ticket sales allegations "while the legal case is going on".
However, he did say the OCI would "defend ourselves to the hilt".
Asked if that included defending Mr Hickey too, Mr O'Brien replied: "Exactly, yes."
Mr Hickey was a senior member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as well as the top Olympic official in Ireland.
The 71-year-old temporarily stood down from all his roles following his arrest, but is now facing a call to resign.
Irish parliamentarian Noel Rock told the BBC that, before his arrest, Mr Hickey had "stonewalled" when he was questioned about the tickets scandal.
"He refused to answer straightforward, basic questions which were perfectly reasonable for the minister, who after all is responsible for the funding of the Olympic Council [of Ireland]," Mr Rock said.
Craig Eade's remains were discovered in a back lane in Northbourne Street, Gateshead, on 1 March.
The killing is believed to have happened between 26 and 28 February.
Paul Watkins, 36, of Northbourne Street, pleaded guilty to murder at Newcastle Crown Court. He was remanded in custody for sentencing on 19 May.
Twelve other people remain on bail on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and assisting an offender.

Defender Harry Maguire headed the Premier League team ahead when he met Ryan Mason's corner at the far post.
Michael Dawson added the second just 68 seconds after half-time, powerfully heading in another Mason corner.
Lee Tomlin pulled one back before team-mate Tammy Abraham's shot was cleared off the line in the final seconds.
City, who improved considerably after the break, also had two penalty appeals turned down in the second half.
But an equaliser proved beyond them on their first appearance in the last 16 of the League Cup since 1988-89.
The Tigers had lost all four league games since winning at Stoke in the previous round of the competition, but took control as City failed to defend two simple set-pieces either side of the break.
Leading scorer Abraham, who has scored 11 goals since arriving on a season-long loan from Chelsea, started on the bench and his 60th-minute arrival finally brought the Robins to life.
Tomlin drove forward and fired in an angled shot to set up a tense finale, but the home side were denied extra-time when some last-ditch Hull defending stopped England Under-21 striker Abraham.
Relive Tuesday's EFL Cup action
Hull manager Mike Phelan:
"It has been quite gloomy when you're getting beaten week in and week out.
"But you can see in the dressing room that a win's a win and it does mean a lot.
"It gives you confidence to start again, because we all know the Premier League is unforgiving at times. We showed that we can win football matches again so let's move forward."
Bristol City boss Lee Johnson:
"I am very proud. We competed really strongly with a young group against a side that got promoted and the last five or 10 minutes we had them completely on the back foot.
"If you take the set-pieces out of it - and they are very big and physically strong in their upper bodies - I thought we outplayed a really good side.
"Although I am disappointed not to have won the game and be in the next round, I think it showed the club in such a good light moving forward."

The event is set to get under way on Friday in Glasgow's SSE Hydro and will run until 1 November.
Glasgow has joined an elite list of former host cities such as Tokyo and London, and has welcomed 594 athletes from 87 countries for the competition.
A total of 450 volunteers from as far afield as Hong Kong and Australia have been signed up to help run the event.
Leader of Glasgow City Council Frank McAveety said: "Our army of volunteers will be at the heart of the event, carrying out a range of functions and being the face of our great city.
"Glasgow has a fantastic record when it comes to volunteering and they are now up and running and starting to play a key role in what will be the biggest ever World Gymnastics Championships."
The beginning of the championships will see a number of qualifying sessions on Friday, including Vault, Uneven Bars, Beam, and Floor.
Event finals will begin on 27 October and competitors will be striving to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
The £125m SSE Hydro was host to both the artistic and rhythmic gymnastics in the XX Commonwealth Games in 2014, and has undergone a number of additions in the run up to the World Championships, including bespoke judging platforms and an LED "mega wall".
VisitScotland's director of events Paul Bush said: "Scotland is now the envy of many other elite event hosting nations in the talent of our people, the sophistication of our infrastructure and the quality of our facilities, both built and natural.
"The SSE Hydro will present many never-before-seen features for these championships, which will greatly enhance the experience of all spectators in Glasgow and add much value to the price of their tickets."
UK Sports Minister Tracey Crouch said: "Hosting the World Gymnastic Championships is another coup for Scotland and a real legacy from last year's Commonwealth Games.
"The British gymnasts will get an incredible reception from the fans in the Hydro Arena and ticket sales have been really strong.
"I am delighted that we are supporting the event, through UK Sport, that will further strengthen Britain's reputation for staging major events but also provide a boost to the economy in Scotland."
The match was scheduled to begin at 19:45 GMT on Tuesday, but heavy rain has made the pitch unplayable.
A new date for the National League fixture is yet to be confirmed.
The two sides are level on points, vying for promotion in fourth and third place respectively and are four points behind leaders Lincoln City.
Gulls striker Shaun Harrad came closest when he glanced a header just wide.

"The fans see a fighting spirit. We have shown that in the majority of games this season. It shows that these players are up for the challenge to grit their teeth.
"We were all disappointed with the result on Tuesday but the players took responsibility, held their hands up and said it wasn't good enough.
"The important thing was a clean sheet and the boys defended as a group. They threw themselves into challenges and we made sure that there was a fight to stop them scoring. In front of your home fans you want three points but, given Tuesday's result, it was important to get that clean sheet."

Marustik came through the youth system at Swansea before turning professional in August 1978, making his debut at 17.
He was part of the Swans side that won promotion to the top flight in 1981 under John Toshack and Marustik went on to win six caps for Wales.
"His loss is a such sad one," said Swansea coach Alan Curtis, a friend and former team-mate of Marustik.
Curtis told the Swansea website: "It's far too young, it's tragic. Chris was a big character, great company and a fantastic player.
"He was a big part of our team, a player you could always rely on. He was never overawed by the occasion, even playing in the old First Division against the big teams."
Marustik also played for Cardiff City, Newport County and Barry Town during his career.
Sixty-six people rode a 42ft (12.8m) surfboard for more than 10 seconds to break the record at Huntington Beach south of Los Angeles.
Around 5,000 people watched from the coast, the Orange County Register reported.
The record was previously held by a group of 47 surfers in the Australian state of Queensland.
Manchester City denied United another Premier League crown on the final day of last season, but Monday's 3-0 win over Aston Villa earned the Old Trafford club a remarkable 13th title in 21 seasons.
"They focused on the challenge of City and came up trumps," said Ferguson. "Our consistency for the last 20 years is unbelievable."
On Robin van Persie: "Robin has been unbelievable. The second goal reminded me of myself, but I can't remember when!"
On Ryan Giggs: "Deary me, he is a freak, a unique freak. A phenomenal man."
On Rafael Da Silva: "I think Rafael will eventually be comparable to Gary Neville."
On his own future plans: "Look at me - it's taken 10 years off me today. It's these tablets, they're great!"
The win over struggling Aston Villa, inspired by Robin van Persie's hat-trick, handed United the points they required to wrap up the league with four games to spare.
It made up for the despair of last May, when Ferguson's side were denied the title by City on goal difference.
"This club never gives in," the Scot, 71, added. "From Sir Matt Busby, the Munich Disaster, to rebuilding and to win the European Cup, that tells you the history of United.
"Every player who comes to this club has to have that engrained. We have lived up to the expectation.
"What the players had to do was focus on how we lost the league last year and make no mistakes. The focus was good.
"The one thing I said to them was don't lose on inferior goal difference. We'd never had that before at this club and this season we have corrected that."
Asked if his current squad was the best of his 26-year reign at Old Trafford, Ferguson responded: "This could arguably be. There is a lot of youth and a lot will get better, we expect that.
"It is sweet, it doesn't matter when you win the title, the consistency has been phenomenal."
United are 16 points clear of nearest rivals City and could finish the campaign with a record-breaking 96, eclipsing the Premier League points total of 95 set by Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side in 2004-05.
United's four remaining games are against Arsenal, Chelsea, Swansea and West Brom.
But even on their way to the title, Ferguson's team have had to face the criticism that they lack the quality of United teams of the recent past.

"It's dead easy to say that, nostalgia plays tricks on people's minds," said Ferguson.
"Put it in context, we've now got 84 points with four games left. We've never done that."
On City's title failure, Ferguson added: "The games between the two of us there was nothing in it, but in the rest of them we were far better.
"We were a far better team than Man City in beating other teams."
Van Persie's second goal against relegation-threatened Villa - a left-foot volley hit first time from Wayne Rooney's 35-yard pass - was singled out for particular praise by Ferguson.
"All the great goals we've scored over the years, from David Beckham through Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Eric Cantona, that goal has joined that," said the manager.
"Robin has been unbelievable. Tonight he was unstoppable. The second goal reminded me of myself, but I can't remember when!
"He scored exactly the same goal for Arsenal."
On Ryan Giggs securing a 13th Premier League title, Ferguson added: "Deary me, he is a freak, a unique freak. A phenomenal man. We are lucky to have him and Paul Scholes, you are blessed as a manager.
"You have to look at how lucky you have been and that I have been. Other ingredients come into it but I am lucky to have them."
The sense of anticipation at Ibrox was evident, but Ali Crawford's crisply executed strike altered expectations.
Substitute Harry Forrester's arrival enlivened the hosts, and he created the equaliser with a glorious pass with the outside of his foot for Waghorn.
Rangers' frustration was exacerbated by Waghorn suffering a hamstring injury.
The striker pulled up clutching his right leg and departed in evident discomfort, leaving his side to play the last eight minutes with 10 men, having already used their three substitutes.
Hamilton though were rewarded for being typically robust and well organised.
The Championship flag was unfurled before kick-off and Rangers' line-up only contained three new signings - Clint Hill, Joey Barton and Niko Kranjcar - as they looked to build on last season.
They started as though there was four years' worth of energy providing them with momentum. The attacking intent was evident as they sought to pin Hamilton back.
Elements of the play were familiar; the ball travelling through the thirds before the wide men moved infield to open up passing corridors around the 18-yard box.
The arrivals of Barton and Kranjcar provided an alternative route, though, and the latter swept a pass upfield to Waghorn, but his fierce strike was pushed away by Hamilton goalkeeper Remi Matthews.
Continuity has been a strength of the visitors - like Rangers, they started with only three new signings, while 10 of the squad were youth academy graduates - and they trusted their game plan. Having endured the opening spell, they began to establish their own ambition.
Crawford nutmegged Barton before seeing his shot deflected wide. It wasn't an isolated moment of skill, and when Hill's clearance landed at his feet, he turned Kranjcar and clipped a left-foot shot into the top corner.
With Rangers' play lacking crispness and high tempo, Hamilton settled into a sense of command. There was aggression to their play, too, and three of the back four were booked before half-time. It was the home side who needed to think about the vigour of their play, though.
Rangers were more dynamic after the break, with Waghorn curling a good chance wide and Hamilton defending desperately on occasion. It took the introduction of Forrester to deliver the necessary deftness of touch to break the visitors down.
The midfielder was only off the bench for a minute when he sculpted a brilliant ball behind and across the Hamilton defence with the outside of his right foot, and Waghorn coolly converted from close range.
Hamilton were not wholly subdued, and Donati's header from Crawford's free-kick demanded a diving save from Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham.
Forrester, though, was an elusive and increasingly influential figure. After a swaying run, he drilled a low shot just wide, then from another of his crosses, the ball was cleared to Barton, whose shot was pushed away by Matthews.

Rangers manager Mark Warburton told Sky Sports: "It was the type of game we're used to. They were hard working and hard to break down. We knew they would be well-organised and frustrate us.
"There were positives in terms of dominating the football. Possession for possession's sake is pointless, we've got to use it to penetrate and we never really did that in the first half. We lacked a bit of real quality and commitment in the final third."
Hamilton Accies player-manager Martin Canning told Sky Sports: "We scored a great goal through Ali Crawford and we were reasonably comfortable.
"The shape of the team was excellent, the boys worked hard and did everything we set out to do. We had to sit in at times an defend properly, but we tried to take all three points."

Jay Donnelly volleyed past home keeper Alan Blayney and just before half-time Ballymena's Gavin Taggart was sent off after a clash with James Knowles.
A cool finish by Daniel Hughes brought Cliftonville level in the 82nd minute.
It was his first goal since joining the Belfast club from Warrenpoint Town in January.
New Sky Blues boss David Jeffrey remains undefeated since taking over from Glenn Ferguson with two draws and a win in the Premiership.
To his opponents, he was an authoritarian strongman who rode roughshod over the country's democratic institutions in order to preserve his hold on power.
Mr Fujimori's decade in power from 1990 to 2000 was marked by a series of dramatic twists and turns.
One of the key moments of his presidency was the hostage siege by Marxist MRTA rebels at the Japanese ambassador's residence in Lima in 1996-97.
After a four-month stand-off, commandos were sent in to take the building.
All 14 rebels were killed and nearly all the 72 hostages were rescued in an operation that at the time cemented Mr Fujimori's talking and acting tough.
But a bribery scandal involving former intelligence chief Vladimiro Montesinos helped tarnish the president's reputation.
In November 2000, Mr Fujimori fled to his parents' native Japan, where he lived for five years in self-imposed exile.
In an effort to resurrect his political career and launch a new bid for the presidency, he flew to Chile in November 2005, only to be arrested at the request of the Peruvian authorities.
Mr Fujimori then spent two years fighting to block his extradition to face a series of charges, a battle he lost in September 2007.
He was convicted and sentenced to six years in jail in December 2007 on charges of abuse of power, over the removal of sensitive video and audio tapes from Mr Montesinos's home.
In April 2009, judges found him guilty of authorising death-squad killings in two incidents known as La Cantuta and Barrios Altos, and the kidnapping of a journalist and a businessman.
Mr Fujimori repeatedly denied the charges, saying they were politically motivated.
The 15-month trial and the divisions in public opinion it generated echoed the controversy that accompanied Mr Fujimori throughout his political career.
When he won the presidential elections in 1990, few Peruvians knew what to expect.
An agricultural engineer born of Japanese parents, Mr Fujimori was a political unknown until weeks before the vote.
He inherited a country on the verge of economic collapse and racked by political violence.
He implemented a radical programme of free-market reforms, removing subsidies, privatising state-owned companies and reducing the role of the state in almost all spheres of the economy.
Though this shock therapy brought great hardship for ordinary Peruvians, it ended rampant hyperinflation and paved the way for sustained economic growth in the second half of the 1990s.
Mr Fujimori also tackled the left-wing rebels whose 10-year insurgency had caused thousands of deaths. But he says he never approved a dirty war against the rebels.
In 1992, with the support of the military, the president dissolved the Peruvian congress and courts and seized dictatorial powers.
He justified the measure by arguing that the legislative and judiciary had been hindering the security forces in their fight against the rebels.
Opposition politicians said he was really seeking to escape any democratic checks on his power.
But he was soon vindicated in the eyes of most Peruvians by the capture of the leader of the main rebel group, the Shining Path.
In 1995, Mr Fujimori stood for re-election and won an overwhelming victory. Most voters cited his victories over left-wing insurgents and hyperinflation as the reason for giving him their support.
But a growing number of Peruvians began to voice concern that the methods used against the insurgency were also being employed against the president's democratic opponents.
His critics accused him of using the intelligence service led by Mr Montesinos to intimidate and spy on rivals.
They said he exerted unfair control on the media and the judiciary, and used government resources to support his own campaigns.
This criticism increased when he announced he was to stand for an unprecedented third successive term.
Although he won the May 2000 elections, amid further allegations of vote-rigging, the prized third term began the start of his downfall.
After the Montesinos scandal broke, the opposition gained control of Congress for the first time in eight years and dismissed Mr Fujimori on grounds of "moral incapacity".
The delayed result follows the sale of its stake in Finnish firm Kone, in a bid to bolster its bottom line amid a recent accounting scandal.
The sale of the 4.6% stake in the lift manufacturer was worth $946.2m.
Toshiba's president and vice-president resigned in July after an independent panel found the company had overstated profits for the past six years.
The panel said operating profits had been overstated by $1.22bn, roughly triple an initial estimate by Toshiba.
The company has apologised to investors and has made attempts to avoid further accounting irregularities.
The firm said in a statement that "while the US economy had lost some momentum... the UK had witnessed a strong performance and the eurozone had sustained a gradual recovery".
It also said that despite China's slowdown, solid growth had been seen in South East Asia and India.
During a news conference after the earnings were released, Toshiba also announced that it had decided there was no need to write down the value of its US nuclear operation, Westinghouse.
The accounting scandal had raised concerns that it was overestimating the value of the business.
Chief executive Masashi Muromachi also said that he was considering a "bold restructuring" of its semiconductor business by the end of the year.
The full-year results posted on Monday had been delayed twice.
Shares rose on the earnings by as much as 3.5%, closing higher by 1.8% in Tokyo.

Belarus has been ruled with an iron fist since 1994 by President Alexander Lukashenko. Opposition figures are subjected to harsh penalties for organising protests. In 2005, Belarus was listed by the US as Europe's only remaining "outpost of tyranny".
In the Soviet post-war years, Belarus became one of the most prosperous parts of the USSR, but with independence came economic decline. President Lukashenko has steadfastly opposed the privatisation of state enterprises, and the country is heavily dependent on Russia for its energy supplies.

President: Alexander Lukashenko
Alexander Lukashenko, often referred to as Europe's last dictator, won a fifth term as president in October 2015, with no significant opposition candidate allowed to stand.
Observers from the OSCE European security body said the election fell far short of the country's democratic commitments.
Mr Lukashenko's win in December 2010 was followed by violent confrontations in the capital Minsk between the security forces and thousands of opposition demonstrators protesting about alleged vote-rigging.
A former state farm director, Mr Lukashenko was first elected president in 1994, following his energetic performance as chairman of the parliamentary anti-corruption committee.
Belarus has been heavily criticised by rights bodies for suppressing free speech, muzzling the press and denying the opposition access to state media.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) ranked Belarus 157th out of 180 countries in its 2015 World Press Freedom Index.
Freedom House says the "state-dominated mainstream media consistently glorify [President] Lukashenko and vilify the political opposition".
TV is the main news source. The eight national channels are state-controlled. Their main competitors are Russian networks. Most Russian bulletins are not rebroadcast live, allowing censors to remove content.
Newspapers owned by the state vastly outnumber those in private hands. Private titles include embattled pro-opposition paper Narodnaya Volya.
Some key dates in the history of Belarus:
1918 - Towards the end of the First World War, Belarus proclaims its independence as the Belarusian National Republic. But, with the end of the war, these aspirations are short-lived. The Red Army invades.
1919 - The Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic is proclaimed.
1921 - The Treaty of Riga divides Belarus between Poland and Soviet Russia.
1922 - The Belarusian SSR becomes founding member of the USSR.
1941-45 - Nazi Germany invades during the course of the Second World War. More than one million people are killed during the occupation, including many Jews. In 1944 the Soviet Red Army drives the Germans out, and at the end of the war, much of western Belarus - previously part of Poland - is amalgamated into the Soviet Republic.
1986 - Belarus is heavily affected by the fall-out from the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl in neighbouring Ukraine.
1991 - Belarus declares its independence as the Soviet Union breaks up. Minsk becomes the headquarters of the successor to the Soviet Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States.
1994 - Alexander Lukashenko becomes president. He introduces policies designed to strengthen ties with Russia.
2001 - President Lukashenko re-elected to serve second term. Opposition and Western observers say elections were unfair and undemocratic.
2006 - EU imposes visa ban on President Lukashenko and numerous ministers and officials.
2010 - Presidential elections. President Lukashenko declared winner. Opposition and western observers allege vote rigging. Mass protests in Minsk are broken up by force, with 600 arrests.
2011 - President Lukashenko is inaugurated for a fourth term in office. The EU reinstates a travel ban on him and freezes his assets, while the US imposes stricter financial controls and widens its travel bans on senior officials.
2015 - President Lukashenko wins fifth presidential term. No significant opposition candidate was allowed to stand.
Now, almost a century later, his observation is truer than ever. In fact, politics seem to be entering into a post-modern age of irony and self-reflection.
The final goal, however, remains the same: capturing power. Not seducing the masses, but appealing to a fragmented electorate that oscillates between apathy and indignation.
In today's saturated media environment, new ways of catching public attention are called for.
So how about presenting your economic manifesto in the form of an Ikea catalogue?
That is just what Podemos, the insurgent Spanish party that came from nowhere to third position in last December's general election, has just done.
To the delight of Spanish media outlets and social media, Podemos (meaning 'We Can' in Spanish) delivered an economic programme that mimics the Ikea catalogue, a familiar item in many Western households.
In it, prominent members of the party are featured in Ikea-decorated rooms - seemingly with the approval of the firm, which has refused so far to comment - while presenting a rather traditional tax-and-spend list of economic proposals.
Although most commentators have pointed out that the numbers do not add up, this does not seem to bother either the party or voters.
A few days ago, Inigo Errejon, usually pictured as the most brainy member of the party, said frankly that campaigns must be sexy. Voters seem to agree, as the polls suggest Podemos will be the most voted for party among people under 40.
Podemos gains in new Spain poll battle
Using Ikea as an inspiration brings to mind the practice of 'cultural jamming' - giving capitalist icons and messages a subversive meaning by placing them in different contexts or using them for unexpected ends.
After all, Podemos blends traditional Socialist ideas with modern populism. And if candidates are sold as brands in our times, why not use brands themselves to sell the candidates?
Ikea seems like the natural choice: the firm is full of meaning for young voters who have led unstable lives in our fluid age.
At the same time, Podemos is trying to dispel the impression that it is a hard-left party, after forming a coalition ahead of the election with the former Communist Party; Ikea stands for the success of Nordic social democracy.
Tellingly, Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias has just claimed that Marx and Engels were Social Democrats, enraging a weakened Socialist Party for which Podemos represents an existential threat.
A lecturer in politics, Mr Iglesias made no mistake - he was forcing others to talk about him, thus dominating the stage. In that, he recalls another successful populist: US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
After all, populism is a political style rather than an ideology. And in matters of style, the Ikea trick confirms that Podemos is way ahead of its rivals.
The Care Act 2014 includes rights for those receiving care and those who provide it to their loved ones.
It includes standards for access to services from care homes to help in the home for tasks such as washing and dressing.
Meanwhile, NHS and care budgets are being merged in Scotland.
The Public Bodies (Joint Working) Act has been described as the most substantial reform north of the border for a generation.
It effectively forces councils and the NHS to work together to provide more streamlined services.
That aim is also a major topic of debate in England in the election campaign with the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, UKIP and Greens all having plans for greater integration.
This issue includes NHS funding, GP access and social care, particularly of older people.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
But the changes coming into force in England on Wednesday apply only to the care system for older people and younger adults with disabilities.
Four major changes are being introduced:
To help protect people's assets, a cap on care costs they have to pay for - set at £72,000 for the over-65s - will kick in from April next year. How the cap works for younger people has still to be finalised.
Today's changes, however, still mark a major milestone in care services, which experts say have hardly changed since the current system was created along with the NHS after the Second World War.
The BBC has launched an online guide to the care system for the over-65s. The "care calculator" covers residential care and the support provided in people's own homes, for tasks such as washing and dressing.
Users can submit their postcode and find out how much each service costs where they live in the UK.
There is also a dedicated BBC Cost of Care website, with news stories, analysis and video.
David Pearson, president of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, said the changes were "probably the most significant development" since 1948.
But he said there were still issues to resolve on the underfunding of the system. Unlike the NHS, the care system budget has been cut in real terms this Parliament.
Izzi Seccombe, leader of Warwickshire council, who chairs the Local Government Association's Wellbeing Board, agreed with both points.
"Councils simply cannot afford any more financial burdens when social care services are already chronically underfunded," she said.
Janet Morrison, of the charity Independent Age, said the Care Act had the "potential to revolutionise" services.
But she said: "With a rapidly ageing population, we need an honest debate during and after the election about the true costs of care."
Telecoms firm Total registered the name YourView for one of its online portal products in 2006.
A judge ruled that YouView was "confusingly similar" to YourView.
Total said it would now apply for an injunction to prevent further use of the YouView brand. YouView said it planned to appeal.
In a statement, YouView said: "We maintain there is no confusion between our consumer-facing TV service, YouView, and the business-to-business billing platform, Yourview, provided by Total Ltd."
But Total's lawyer Paul Gordon said: "Total's rights were plainly infringed and it had to stand firm against a much larger and better-funded opponent.
"The judgment of Mr Justice Sales has vindicated Total's position. It shows that the courts of this country will protect parties against businesses such as YouView who infringe intellectual property rights.
"YouView were made well aware of Total's rights before they launched the service under the infringing name yet they chose to launch it under that name regardless."
Total added it would now seek an injunction to "prevent any further use of the name YouView, together with financial payment and legal costs".
YouView is an internet TV service launched in July 2012 as a joint venture between BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 - as well as telecoms companies BT, TalkTalk and Arqiva.
Lord Sugar was the company's non-executive chairman until he stood down in March 2013.
The company says it has more than one million users across the UK, and eventually aims to increase that number to 10 million.
The service's working title had been Project Canvas, changing to YouView in September 2010.
The name caused early concern - intellectual property lawyers warned that it could be confused with Google's video sharing site YouTube.
Legal action from Total to sue YouView was launched in November 2012.
On Monday, Mr Justice Sales ruled that the convergence of the telecoms and TV industry - as demonstrated by YouView's backers - risked a "strong likelihood of confusion on the part of the public". | The Salvation Army says it has seen nearly a fivefold rise in the number of slavery victims it has helped in England and Wales since 2012.

The man entered the bank in Stonelaw Road, Burnside, at about 15:40.
He was wearing a scarf over his face, a bright orange jacket with a logo on the sleeve, a dark hooded top and blue jeans.
No-one was were injured but police said the incident was a "very frightening experience" for those involved.
They have appealed for information.
The suspect made off towards the nearby Tesco store.
Det Sgt Martin McKendrick said: "We are checking CCTV at the moment to see whether he had been in the vicinity of the bank prior to the robbery but in meantime would ask anyone who was in the area at the time of the robbery - who may have seen him loitering or acting suspiciously, to contact police.
"Thankfully, no one was injured but it was a very frightening experience for the staff involved who are both women, aged 30 and 57 years, and it is imperative that we catch him."
Emma Houlston, 31, from south-west London, is undergoing an experimental form of potentially lifesaving treatment not available on the NHS.
In lieu of presents, she and husband Matt Lees asked wedding guests to help contribute towards the £114,000 annual cost of her treatment.
They married in London on Saturday.
Other well wishers have helped swell the funds of her GoFundMe page to more than £234,000 so far.
In a blog post she said: "The costs we face for this treatment are terrifying but when the only other option is giving up and dying, I'm determined to find a way to keep myself alive."
Ms Houlston is an art director and following her previous treatment for hypercalcemic small cell ovarian cancer in 2014, she directed an advertising campaign for the charity MacMillan Cancer Support.
She said her condition essentially meant she had "too much calcium in her blood" meaning it had to be "washed out" at regular intervals. However, this comes with its own problems as the washing process strips her blood not only of calcium but almost everything else.
Ms Houlston, from Balham, said about 40 people attended the wedding at Chelsea's Old Town Hall registry office, while another 50 joined the wedding party for the reception in nearby pub The Orange.
"It was a lovely day but I'm very tired and was very tired yesterday," she said.
"It was quite a big day to slot into everything although we were very lucky with the rain."
The couple had originally planned a wedding in the countryside but Ms Houlston's illness meant they needed to get married as near to the Royal Marsden hospital as possible in case her condition deteriorated.
Her preparation the night before her wedding was also unusual.
She said:"The wedding yesterday was a struggle but the hospital did their very best and I had a few blood transfusions beforehand. I was doing that at 7 or 8 o'clock the night before: watching the bloods go in rather than finishing off the wedding decorations."
She added: "My honeymoon will be starting radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
"I spend pretty much every day in here, but I get to go home at night.
"The staff have been wonderful. They decorated my bay with bunting and all sorts, everyone has been so kind."
QPR forward Jamie Mackie, who only found the net once in 2016-17, scored his first this campaign from a tough angle after being put in behind.
But Owls sub Winnall drilled home in his first match this term from Barry Bannan's cross to pull the hosts level.
Late on, Kazenga LuaLua had a superb chance to give Rangers victory, but he fired wide when one-on-one.
LuaLua, who joined the R's on loan from Brighton on Friday, was teed up by Conor Washington, but could not find the target as Ian Holloway's men continued their unbeaten start to the season.
Things had been looking rosy for QPR when Mackie slotted past Keiren Westwood, and to make matters worse for Wednesday, Glenn Loovens was injured when he fell awkwardly trying to block the shot.
They also lost Sam Hutchinson to injury, but the double departure brought about the introduction of Winnall, who reportedly had a training ground bust-up with team-mate Fernando Forestieri this week, leading to the Italian being left out of the squad for Saturday's match.
Winnall, who only scored three goals last season after his move from Barnsley, fired home when Bannan's cross fell to him, and Gary Hooper almost put the Owls ahead when Josh Scowen cleared his effort off the line.
Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal:
"The first half was divided. They scored one goal from their one chance and we had a few chances also.
"The second half was completely different. We started very well and this is our Sheffield Wednesday. We pressed Queens Park Rangers much more and moved the ball better.
"We started to create problems, we achieved the first goal, we nearly achieved the second goal with two clear situations, but after 30 minutes we decreased a little. This was where we needed extra energy from the bench, but we lost that opportunity."
QPR manager Ian Holloway:
"By the end of the game, the little spell they had just after half-time, where we could have wobbled... they caught us with a punch and they could have maybe had another couple, but we came through that and gave a good account of ourselves in the end.
"Did we do enough to win? Possibly not, but that final ball on our breaks we had maybe 10 opportunities to put someone through and only one of them ended up being a clear chance.
"All I know is we're improving, we're learning and there were lots of bits I really liked. Obviously I'll have to take one point instead of the three we wanted."

Simon Church had put the home side ahead with a close-range effort.
But with just two minutes to play, Saints substitute Liam Craig scored from the spot after being challenged inside the box by Ryan Jack.
Aberdeen players and fans were left furious by the penalty decision.
The home side started this game buoyed by Celtic's slip up in their match against Hamilton on Friday but also shell-shocked by the news they could be without their top scorer Adam Rooney for six weeks.
Derek McInnes' side immediately set out to dominate possession and although they dictated play early on, they missed the obvious target that Rooney so often provides.
As they pushed for the opening goal, Kenny McLean found some space 10 yards out but his shot was weak and Saints goalkeeper Alan Mannus wasn't troubled.
As the first half progressed and the home side failed to take advantage of their possession, St Johnstone began to push forward and find gaps in an Aberdeen defence that, at times, looked very fragile.
Steven MacLean had a couple of decent efforts but his lob from 10 yards out didn't have enough to beat Scott Brown and his volley from the same distance was blocked at the last minute.
But just as it looked like the Dons were living dangerously, Church blasted them into the lead.
Ash Taylor's header from a Niall McGinn corner looked to be goal-bound. Mannus saved well but could not hold it and Church swept the ball into the back of the net from four yards.
It was a goal that not only settled the Aberdeen legions inside Pittodrie, but also the home players, who started to knock the ball around with the confidence of a side who see themselves as title contenders.
But despite their continued domination in the second half, they failed to extend their lead and it was to prove costly.
Jack, McGinn and Pawlett all linked up well but they just could not find a way through.
As some of the 12,563 fans started to head for the exits, the game's most controversial moment happened.
As Craig picked up the ball and drove into the box, he was challenged by Jack, who appeared to make contact with the ball. But Craig tumbled and referee Steven McLean pointed to the spot.
With the home fans still howling in protest, Craig stepped up and expertly sent Brown the wrong way.
For Aberdeen, the remaining few minutes were spent throwing the kitchen sink in the direction of the St Johnstone goal but the winner never came.
Eric Anderson, an ex-detective chief superintendent with the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), was in charge of the case after her 1994 disappearance.
The 15-year-old from Castlederg went missing after a school disco in County Donegal. Her body has never been found.
The Court Service confirmed Mr Anderson has agreed to give evidence via Skype.
The former RUC detective was asked to attend the inquest into her murder in what the coroner described as a "belt and braces" approach.
The inquest is currently under way after years of delays.
No date has been set yet for Mr Anderson's evidence to be heard.
The dusky whaler shark, found at Sydney's Palm Beach, was not considered dangerous because it was a juvenile.
Wildlife handlers caught the 3ft (90cm) shark with a net before returning it to the sea.
It is not known how the shark entered the pool, but locals speculated it may have been washed in by a high tide.
Local woman Jennifer Hill said she had been swimming laps before being alerted to the shark.
"One of the other regular swimmers was just about to get in, and he looked down and looked up, and said, 'there's a shark,'" Ms Hill told the BBC.
"That little shark managed to hide herself from everybody."
Rita Kluge, who took photos of the shark, said it appeared to be "more scared of us than we were of it".
The animal was rescued easily using nets, said Kerrie McDonald, an aquarist from Manly Sea Life Sanctuary.
"She definitely wouldn't have been a risk to the swimmers, but they are very strong capable predators once fully grown," she said.
The species feeds primarily on bony fish and is common in waters off Australia.
Winks, 21, has made 13 Premier League appearances and scored against West Ham on his full debut in November.
The England Under 21 international is the latest player to sign a long-term contract at the club.
Striker Harry Kane, midfielder and England team-mate Dele Alli and France keeper Hugo Lloris have also committed their future to Spurs.
Winks is a graduate of the Tottenham academy and made his debut as a substitute against Liverpool in August.
Spurs have also given 19-year-old right-back Kyle Walker-Peters, who is yet to feature for the first team, a new deal until 2019.
The 16-mile Severn Valley Railway (SVR) was damaged in 45 places, including nine landslips, on 19 June 2007.
The steam railway, through Shropshire and Worcestershire, fully reopened nine months later, with repairs costing £3.8m.
SVR members will go on a special return trip from Kidderminster at 11:45 BST.
The railway was among the first of the sites damaged by the destructive floods that hit the UK in the summer of 2007.
A freak thunderstorm at about 20:00 only lasted around 30 minutes, but rainfall was equivalent to that of a typical month.
Embankments collapsed, there was debris below the track and sections of it were "suspended in mid-air".
Mike Ball, 73, a volunteer for 31 years who is also vice chairman, said he was about to go to bed that night a decade ago when the phone rang.
The Highley stationmaster called telling him it looked like one of the signals was "halfway down" an embankment towards the river.
"Track was hanging in the air [by Highley] station," Mr Ball said.
He added that below the track, along the River Severn, he thought two holiday chalets had been washed into the river.
"But nobody was there.... the embankment went all the way down to the river and the buildings with it.
"Having seen that and another site further to the south with the track hanging in the air... maybe 50 yards.... my feeling was, I suppose it was a bit like, 'I can't see how this is going to get fixed'."
Volunteers started to walk the track in the morning, getting off and into a field where necessary for safety, and the nine major areas of track damage were known by the end of the day.
Ten locomotives due to go to the visitor centre at Highley were left stranded at Kidderminster.
Then, another thunderstorm a month later - on 20 July - caused further damage.
A "your railway needs you" fundraising website was set up and of the £3.8m repair costs, £650,000 was donated by the public, members and shareholders.
Money also came in from fellow railways, grants from the European Regional Development Fund, Advantage West Midlands, the Heritage Lottery Fund, "the Railway's insurances" and SVR reserves.
The tourist attraction, which has six stations, has more than 250,000 visitors a year. The line goes from Bridgnorth in Shropshire to Kidderminster in Worcestershire.
The Severn Valley line was completed in 1862 and originally Hartlebury, near Droitwich in Worcestershire, was linked with Shrewsbury in Shropshire.
But the line shut to passengers in 1963 as part of a national rail rationalisation programme before a steam heritage line opened in 1970.
Now it is largely run by unpaid volunteers, who operate trains, rebuild locomotives, reconstruct viaducts and bridges and paint stations, but about 70 paid staff are responsible for administration and commercial activities and maintenance.
Last week an exhibition marking the 2007 storm damage opened at the visitor centre and SVR is currently trying to raise a further £1.4m for a redevelopment of Bridgnorth station, which dates back to 1862.
SVR said for the anniversary journey on Monday members would travel on "one of the UK's most luxurious trains - Belmond Northern Belle" famed "for its beautiful, hand-crafted 1930s-era interiors and luxury dining experiences".
Farmers will only get payouts if they agree to protect the environment and enhance rural life, he will say.
The move is part of what he calls his vision for a "green Brexit".
Farmers’ leaders want the current £3bn total to be spent on the environment, more infrastructure to develop farm businesses, and promoting British food.
The government has promised to keep overall payments at the same level until 2022.
The Tenant Farmers' Association - which represents tenant farmers in England and Wales - has called for the same amount of money to remain after that time.
Under the EU's current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), farmers are paid based on the amount of land they farm.
However, in a speech at WWF's Living Planet Centre in Woking on Friday, Mr Gove said the current system will be abolished after the UK has left the EU.
He criticised the current system for giving money to some of the UK's wealthiest landowners, for encouraging wastage, and for not recognising "good environmental practice".
Mr Gove described Brexit as "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reform how we care for our land, our rivers and our seas, how we recast our ambition for our country’s environment, and the planet".
£3.2bn
total payments to UK farmers
£2.56bn
direct aid excluding rural development and other schemes
39 recipients of £1m or more
50 recipients of £800,000 or more
108 recipients of £500,000 or more
Critics say under the CAP wealthy UK landowners are given subsidies of up to £3m a year.
The issue was highlighted last year when BBC News revealed that taxpayers are paying more than £400,000 a year to subsidise a farm where a billionaire Saudi prince breeds racehorses.
The Newmarket farm of Khalid Abdullah al Saud - owner of the legendary horse Frankel - is among the top recipients of farm grants, along with the Queen.
Environmentalists will applaud the promise of change; they blame the CAP for the huge loss of wildlife in the British countryside.
The question for Mr Gove will be what detailed policy takes its place.
Mr Gove said in his speech: “There are very good reasons why we should provide support for agriculture. Seventy per cent of our land is farmed - beautiful landscape has not happened by accident but has been actively managed.
“Agriculture is an industry more susceptible to outside shocks and unpredictable events - whether it’s the weather or disease. So financial assistance and mechanisms which can smooth out the vicissitudes farmers face make sense."
He also expressed a desire to protect the “human ecology” of Britain’s highlands, where farming without subsidy is impossible.
This won’t please radical environmentalists, who want Mr Gove to save money (and in their view enhance the environment) by letting sheep farming wither, and allowing the uplands to revert to natural forest.
The Country Land and Business Association, known as the CLA, accepts the need for reform and has launched a plan for a land management contract.
Ross Murray, president of the CLA - which represents owners of land, property and businesses in England and Wales - said there is "vital work to be done", including to support farming practices, to manage soils and preserve land.
When pressed on whether rich landowners should received public money, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he was open to change but practices such as tree planting - which are good for the environment but provide landowners with little benefit - should still be recognised.
Asked if farming subsidies could be reduced in the future, he added: "In the long term perhaps, but in the meantime I think we're going to have to support farmers who provide public goods which could never be provided by the market."
Craig Bennett, head of Friends of the Earth, welcomed the speech, but said: “Current EU rules aimed at tackling air pollution and climate change and protecting our birds, bees and nature must not be watered down, and mechanisms must be put in place to enforce them post-Brexit."
National Farmers' Union (NFU) president Meurig Raymond said that, after leaving the EU, "it is important that we see a broad and innovative range of measures to ensure farmers continue to deliver all the benefits - for our wellbeing, for our economy and for our environment - that the country enjoys".
He added: "Such a policy needs to be comprehensive, providing support to farmers not just for environmental work, but also to manage risk and volatility, and to improve productivity and resilience among farming businesses."
One crucial question will be who has the final say on proposed developments in the UK's prime wildlife sites. At the moment they are protected by the EU as part of Europe's common heritage. That protection may disappear after Brexit.

Great Western Railway (GWR) has amended some services from 13:30 to 19:00 BST because of the heat.
High-speed trains between Paddington and Oxford have been cancelled.
Network Rail said modern rails were far more resistant to buckling but "on a day this hot" speeds needed to be restricted for safety.
Temperatures are set to exceed 30C (86F) in London and Thames Valley, the Met Office said.
Updates on the hottest day of the year in England
Passengers to Oxford have been advised to either take stopping services or travel to Didcot for connecting services, and are advised to check their specific journey before they travel.
Trains to and from Paddington and Bedwyn, in Wiltshire, will operate between Bedwyn and Reading only.
And Paddington to Cheltenham Spa services will only operate between Swindon and Cheltenham Spa.
To prevent buckling, small gaps are left between sections of steel rails to allow them to expand and contract as temperatures change normally throughout the year.
However, in extreme hot spells when the air temperature reaches 30C the rails can reach 50C (122F) meaning they are at risk of buckling, resulting in speed restrictions.
Tracks in some overseas countries are often set up for constant higher temperatures.

The male, possibly accompanied by a second man, approached the boy as he made his way from the store entrance to the car park at 20:00 GMT, police said.
The boy quickly ran to the car where his father was waiting.
The man is is described as wearing black trousers, a black walking type jacket with a blue trim, and a hat.
Det Insp Neil Harrison said: "North Wales Police are investigating the incident and are speaking further with the young boy involved."
Peter McLaren, 48, admitted supplying cocaine between 1 and 29 March in 2014 at locations in Glasgow.
He also admitted supplying cannabis resin at his Glasgow home and in Ullapool, in the Highlands, between 21 July and 21 August in 2014.
Sentence was deferred and he was remanded in custody
The Crown accepted McLaren's not guilty pleas to further charges including directing serious organised crime and being concerned in the supply of heroin over a six-year period up to last year.
Advocate depute Jim Keegan QC told the High Court in Edinburgh that proceedings had been raised to seize crime profits from McLaren.
The prosecutor asked for the case to be continued until next week for a narrative to be produced for the court.
Judge Lord Woolman continued the case and remanded McLaren in custody.
Acrylamide is produced when starchy foods are roasted, fried or grilled for too long at high temperatures.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends carefully following cooking instructions and avoiding browning.
However, a Cancer Research spokeswoman said the link was not proven in humans.
The FSA also says potatoes should not be kept in the fridge.
This is because sugar levels in the potatoes rise at low temperatures, potentially increasing the amount of acrylamide produced during cooking.
Acrylamide is present in many different types of food and is a natural by-product of the cooking process.
The highest levels of the substance are found in foods with high starch content which have been cooked above 120C, such as crisps, bread, breakfast cereals, biscuits, crackers, cakes and coffee.
It can also be produced during home cooking, when high-starch foods - such as potatoes, chips, bread and parsnips - are baked, roasted, grilled or fried at high temperatures.
When bread is grilled to make toast, for example, this causes more acrylamide to be produced. The darker the colour of the toast, the more acrylamide is present.
During the browning process, the sugar, amino acids and water present in the bread combine to create colour and acrylamide - as well as flavour and aromas.
The Food Standards Agency says it is not clear exactly how much acrylamide can be tolerated by people, but it does believe that we are eating too much of it.
So it is advising people to make small changes to the way they cook and prepare food, including:
Research in animals has shown that the chemical is toxic to DNA and causes cancer - so scientists assume the same is true in people, although as yet there is no conclusive evidence.
The possible effects of acrylamide exposure include an increased lifetime risk of cancer and effects on the nervous and reproductive systems.
But whether or not acrylamide causes these effects in humans depends upon the level of exposure.
Smoking exposes people to three to four times more acrylamide than non-smokers because the chemical is present in tobacco smoke.
As well as advising the public, the Food Standards Agency is also working with industry to reduce acrylamide in processed food.
And there has been some progress - between 2007 and 2015, it found evidence of an average 30% reduction in acrylamide across all products in the UK.
Steve Wearne, director of policy at the Food Standards Agency, said most people were not aware that acrylamide even existed.
"We want our campaign to highlight the issue so that consumers know how to make the small changes that may reduce their acrylamide consumption whilst still eating plenty of starchy carbohydrates and vegetables as recommended in government healthy eating advice.
"Although there is more to know about the true extent of the acrylamide risk, there is an important job for government, industry and others to do to help reduce acrylamide intake."
Emma Shields, health information officer from Cancer Research UK, acknowledges that acrylamide in food could be linked to cancer - but she says the link is not clear and consistent in humans.
"To be on the safe side, people can reduce their exposure by following a normal healthy, balanced diet - which includes eating fewer high calorie foods like crisps, chips and biscuits, which are the major sources of acrylamide.
"The UK Food Standards Agency also advises that people cook starchy foods like potatoes and bread to a golden yellow colour or lighter, as the time and temperature of cooking determine the amount of acrylamide produced."
She said there was many other well-established risk factors for cancer "like smoking, obesity and alcohol which all have a big impact on the number of cancer cases in the UK".
The girl remains in a "critical condition" in hospital after the incident at a house in Danube Street, in the Stockbridge area, in the early hours of Wednesday.
The 48-year-old woman appeared in private at Edinburgh Sheriff Court charged with attempted murder.
She made no plea or declaration and was detained under an assessment order.
Det Insp Paul Grainger said the eight-year-old was recovering well in hospital.
"I want to take this opportunity to commend staff at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children for their tremendous medical efforts so far," he said.
"Thankfully, the girl is now described as being in a stable condition and specialist detectives continue to support her family.
Det Insp Grainger added: "A 48-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with this incident and we're not looking for anyone else as part of our enquiries.
"Our thoughts remain with the young girl and her family, who have asked that their privacy is respected at this incredibly difficult time."
In her first statement to the Northern Ireland Assembly, Michelle O'Neill said that excessive waiting times were "unacceptable".
But she added that in order to tackle the problem, additional investment is required.
Mrs O'Neill, from Sinn Féin, was appointed as health minister on 25 May.
She told MLAs: "I will assure the assembly, patients and their families, that long waiting times are completely unacceptable to me.
"However, I will need time, new investment, radical change in how we deliver services to create the conditions for a sustainable health service and the better outcomes that we all want to see."
She added that 80,000 patients have benefitted from additional funding allocated last November but said she would be bidding for further additional resources.
It is significant that Ms O'Neill chose to address the problem of waiting times in her first statement to the assembly as health minister.
She said that it would require not only additional funding, which she would seek via Stormont's June monitoring round, but also additional investment would also be required.
The minister also mentioned the prospect of radical reform which could be recommended under the Bengoa health review.
Batting off several challenges from MLAs who were guarded about losing potential hospital services in their area, Ms O'Neill said unless there was meaningful change they would be back time and time again debating the same issue.
Alliance Party MLA Chris Lyttle asked the minister what "specific radical reform she plans to deliver that her predecessor did not".
Mrs O'Neill said she recognised that "the pace of change was not quick enough".
"I want to take the body of work that Professor Bengoa has been involved with and actually seriously transform our health service, otherwise we will be having this debate time and time again."
She added: "The only way we are going to get that is to have real pace of change and real meaningful change that actually reconfigures how we deliver services.
"That's my priority in the time ahead and that is the legacy I want to leave in this department."
Tax-payer support for the £460m 660-bed hospital at Wynyard Park, near Stockton, was axed by Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander last year.
But North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust plans to approach the private sector for funding.
Opponents say existing hospitals in Hartlepool and Stockton should stay.
The Teesside scheme, and 12 others nationwide, were scrapped in June 2010 as part of measures by the coalition government to save £2bn.
But now trust bosses say they want to press ahead with a smaller scale project, which would cost about £300m.
Chief executive Alan Foster said the site would have smaller patient rooms, wards and operating theatres.
He said: "Funding would come from the banks in the UK and abroad and we have also been talking to the European Investment Bank.
"There is still a lot of work to do and we will be looking to get the best financial option for the trust going forward."
Mr Foster said a new hospital would be more cost-effective than refurbishing the existing University Hospital of Hartlepool and North Tees Hospital in Stockton.
But Keith Fisher, from the Save Our Hospital campaign in Hartlepool, said: "The reality has always been that people in Hartlepool and south east Durham do not want a new hospital in Wynyard.
"I find it hard to believe that the two existing hospitals cannot be maintained for the amount of money they are proposing to spend on a new build."
The trust is expected to discuss possible new funding options at a meeting later this month.
Ross McNab is alleged to have carried out a raid on the Dunkeld branch of the Bank of Scotland on 29 November.
Mr McNab appeared from custody at Perth Sheriff Court and denied robbing bank teller James MacKinnon while he was working in the branch.
The charge against Mr McNab alleges that he robbed the bank of £65.
He will face trial in March next year.
With Prime Minister Theresa May taking the unusual step of sitting in the Lords to watch the opening speeches, Leader of the House Baroness Evans said peers must not "frustrate" Brexit.
But Labour said "reasonable changes" could take place to the bill.
MPs have already backed the proposed law, authorising Mrs May to inform the EU of the UK's intention to leave.
The government does not have a majority in the House of Lords where a record 190 peers are due to speak, with the sitting extended to midnight.
Opposition and crossbench peers are seeking guarantees about the rights of EU citizens in Britain and the role of parliament in scrutinising the process.
Mrs May has said she wants to invoke Article 50 of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty - the formal two-year mechanism by which a state must leave the EU - by the end of March, and the government has warned the House of Lords not to frustrate the process.
The prime minister decided to sit in the Lords chamber itself to listen to the start of the debate. Her official spokesman said this was "in recognition of the importance of this bill as it proceeds through the Lords".
Opening proceedings, Lady Evans said the government had promised to deliver on the result of last year's referendum, in which 51.9% of voters backed Brexit.
She said: "This bill is not about revisiting the debate." She added: "Noble Lords respect the primacy of the elected House and the decision of the British people on 23 June last year."
Lady Evans also said: "This bill is not the place to try and shape the terms of our exit, restrict the government's hand before in enters into complex negotiations or attempt to re-run the referendum."
For Labour, Lords opposition leader Baroness Smith of Basildon said the government would not be given a "blank cheque" and that "if sovereignty is to mean anything, it has to mean parliamentary responsibility".
She promised to make ministers consider "reasonable changes" and this was not "delaying the process" but "part of the process" of Brexit.
But Lord Newby, leader of the Liberal Democrats in the Lords, said the bill could be changed and sent back to the House of Commons for reconsideration, arguing there was a "world of difference between blocking... and seeking to amend it".
The government's approach was "little short of disastrous" and "to sit on our hands in these circumstances is unthinkable and unconscionable", he added.
UKIP's Lord Stevens of Ludgate said the prime minister "should be congratulated" for "honouring" the commitment to leave the EU, following the referendum.
But he told peers it was better to "leave the EU quickly", rather than enter negotiations with member states on a post-Brexit deal.
And Labour peer Lord Howarth of Newport, who backed Brexit, said: "All of us should respect the democratic decision to leave. If we do not, public disaffection from politics will become a crisis. Those who meditate a second referendum are playing with fire."
By Ben Wright, political correspondent
Peers will not block Brexit. But nor are they likely to wave this bill through without asking the Commons to think again about a number of issues.
Peers are certainly keen to have their say in this week's two-day debate.
The committee stage scrutiny - and possible votes - will come the week after.
And with many non-party cross-benchers in the picture the government cannot be certain of defeating all the changes peers will be pushing for. That would mean the Commons could have to consider the bill again.
However, there is no sign the unelected Lords want to go into battle with MPs and the government over Brexit - or meddle with the referendum's mandate.
Labour has said it will not frustrate Theresa May's plan to trigger the start of Brexit by the end of next month.
The government has set aside five days in total to discuss the various stages of the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill - starting with its Second Reading, in which peers debate the general principles of the bill.
The Second Reading debate is due to conclude on Tuesday evening - possibly with a vote, but only if peers break with their usual practice of allowing government legislation through unopposed at this stage.
Although amendments are not voted on at this stage, speeches will be closely watched for signs of the mood of peers on the two key ones of parliament having a "final meaningful vote" on the draft Brexit agreement - and guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens in the UK.
Detailed scrutiny of the bill at committee stage is due to take place on 27 February and 1 March. If the bill is not amended, then it could theoretically be approved by the Lords at Third Reading on 7 March, becoming law shortly afterwards.
If peers do make changes to the bill, it would put them on a collision course with MPs - who overwhelmingly passed the bill unaltered and would be expected to overturn any Lords amendments.
Although the Conservatives have the largest number of peers in the Lords, with 252 members, they are vulnerable to being outvoted if opposition peers - including 202 Labour peers and 102 Lib Dems - join forces.
Much will hinge of the actions of the 178 crossbenchers in the Lords - who are not aligned to any party and do not take a party whip.
Once Article 50 is invoked, there will be up to two years of talks on the terms of the UK's departure and its future relationship with the EU unless all 28 member states agree to extend the deadline.
About four million employees are members of such schemes, and 86% of them are paying their money into so-called "default" funds.
These tend to be partly invested in UK government bonds, in some cases heavily so if an individual is close to retirement.
These particular pension savers might not have noticed that the price of UK government bonds has had its very own bubble in the past couple of years.
"There has been a big inflation of government bond prices, which may not be over, and it may be some considerable time until they deflate, but at some point they will have to come back down to earth," says Laith Khalaf, pension investment manager at fund supermarket Hargreaves Lansdown.
"Gilts are seen as a very safe asset, but actually at their current prices there is a potential for capital losses."
There are three related reasons.
Both here and abroad, governments have cut interest rates to try to stave off recession.
This has had a knock-on effect on UK government bonds, known as gilts.
As the Bank of England base rate has fallen to 0.5%, the fixed rate of interest paid by the gilts has become correspondingly more valuable and their prices have risen.
Gilts have also been seen as a "safe haven" by foreign investors who have been buying them during the turmoil in the finances of the eurozone.
And the price of gilts has been further boosted by the Bank of England's policy of
quantitative easing
(QE).
Designed to drive down interest rates in the wholesale financial markets, and stimulate some economic growth, this extreme policy has seen the Bank buy up huge quantities of government bonds since March 2009.
It has spent £325bn on this project and, astonishingly, now owns about a third of all gilts in issue.
The inevitable effect of this artificial demand has been to drive up the market price of these bonds.
For instance, according to the market data service Bloomberg, the value of the current 10-year benchmark UK gilt, redeemable in 2022, has gone up by 21% since it was first issued in February 2009.
What would happen if the Bank of England started selling its massive holding of gilts? Would the bond-bubble burst suddenly?
Superficially, the answer might be "yes".
But Moyeen Islam, a fixed-income strategist at Barclays, expects the Bank to manage the sales carefully, probably over several years, and to take care not to disrupt gilt prices too much in the process.
"I am certain they would not dump £325bn of gilts back on the market in one go; that would be madness, it will be a phased programme of sales, come the time," he says.
"The bank is very good at signalling to the market the timing of its operations [and] it is not clear that it would ever sell back the entire £325bn of gilts," he adds.
Such sales probably won't start to happen in the next year or so, either.
Speculation in the City is that the QE programme could in fact be expanded again soon, not shrunk.
Julian Webb, head of the DC savings business for Fidelity, one of the biggest managers of investments for DC pension funds in the UK, also cautions against any panic.
He says the vast majority of DC members are invested in balanced portfolios of shares, bonds and cash, and are not 100% invested in bonds.
"The key thing is to have a diverse portfolio, so if they were 100% invested in bonds they should be concerned they are relatively exposed to a single asset class," he says.
"If they are in a 'lifestyle' investment, that would direct them to bonds, so the key thing is to diversify within that, with a combination of UK gilts, overseas gilts, and corporate bonds."
The DC savers most likely to have a lot of their money invested for them in bonds are those closest to retirement, courtesy of the "lifestyling" process.
The general idea is that by gradually moving money into bonds as retirement approaches, these people will be protected against any sudden drop in value of their pension fund that might come from remaining largely invested in shares.
That proposition might be questionable if you think that gilt values could start falling some time in the next few years.
But Billy Burrows, annuity expert at the Better Retirement Group, points out that people within striking distance of retirement should not necessarily suffer.
"People typically buy an annuity - a pension for life - with their DC pension pots and that income is usually provided by an insurer who also invests their money in bonds."
"So in a swings-and-roundabout fashion, any fall in bond values prior to retirement would be offset by a rise in the income that the annuity would provide."
The fact of the matter is the vast majority of DC pension savers take little or no active interest in what is being done with their money, once they have made the initial choice of fund.
If they want to check what is going on with their money, and track how much of their fund is in bonds, and indeed which sorts of bonds, what should they do?
Julian Webb at Fidelity has this advice: "They should not assume anything and they should certainly check".
"The easiest way is to phone their DC provider, or go on their website, and look at the fact sheet which gives a very detailed breakdown of where the fund is invested.
"Normally it shows a pie chart which shows where the money is allocated."
The Pension Regulator has been taking an increasingly close interest in the way that companies and trustees run DC pension schemes, to ensure members get a good deal.
"We would expect trustees to regularly review their strategy and have appropriate controls in place to alert them to potential risks, including market trends," said a spokesman.
Dr David Nott is a volunteer with Medecins Sans Frontieres and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
He was presented with the Robert Burns Humanitarian Award 2016 at a special ceremony in Alloway, Burns' birthplace.
The award recognises those who help change people's lives for the better.
For more than two decades, Dr Nott - a consultant surgeon at Royal Marsden, St Mary's and Chelsea and Westminster Hospitals - has given up several months every year for more to volunteer in war zones and amidst major humanitarian crises.
He's been described by colleagues as "the Indiana Jones of surgery".
He has performed life-saving surgery in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan and Syria.
He also set up the David Nott Foundation which offers other surgeons and medical professionals training and advice on how to help in conflict and natural disaster zones around the world.
The Robert Burns Humanitarian Award - supported by South Ayrshire Council - "applauds the efforts of people who bring hope and inspiration - often in desperate situations".
This is the 15th time it has been presented.
Organisers said it took its inspiration from Robert Burns "who viewed everyone as equal and genuinely lived as a true humanitarian".
Dr Nott said: "I am stunned and very proud to receive this amazing award, which I share with the many people I have worked with over the years.
"You know that you're taking a risk when you do this type of humanitarian work, but once you're out there and saving the lives of people - including children and teenagers the world has forgotten about - you just focus on getting the job done and try to forget about what's going on around you.
"It is difficult - there's no doubt - but when you can see that you can make a very real difference, you simply cannot turn your back and that's why I'm particularly pleased to have established the foundation to keep that work going."
There has been no official update on Ali's condition and concern has grown throughout Friday.
An enormous number of goodwill messages for the 74-year-old, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1984, have been posted on social media.
The former heavyweight world champion was admitted to hospital in December 2014 with a urinary tract infection.
Great Britain's newest world champion Tony Bellew has been among those expressing hope for his recovery.
One of the most high-profile global sporting stars, Ali's name transcends sport like few others.
He became the first three-time world heavyweight champion in 1978, having first won the title in 1964 and again in 1974.
A surface-to-air missile (SAM) was intercepted using the Arrow system, designed to stop long-range ballistic missiles, reports say.
The SAMs were fired at Israeli jets which had just raided sites in Syria.
Debris from the intercepted SAM came down in Jordan. Two other SAMs are said to have landed in Israel.
In a rare admission, the Israeli military said its aircraft had attacked several targets in Syria before Syria launched the missiles.
Israel said none of its planes had been "compromised", despite Syria claiming it had shot down one of four aircraft involved in the raid.
This episode is unusual on a number of counts. It is rare for Israel to admit to air strikes in Syria though there have been reports of at least four similar raids against Hezbollah weapons shipments since the start of December last year.
This also looks to be the first operational use of Israel's Arrow anti-ballistic missile system - launched possibly at an errant Syrian surface-to-air missile - that might have landed in Israeli territory.
The incident - not least because the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) statement has made it "official" - represents a serious escalation in tensions between Israel and Syria.
It comes less than 10 days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin. Russian radars and aircraft control a significant slice of Syrian airspace.
It's a signal perhaps to all concerned that if weapons supplies to Hezbollah continue, then Israel is ready to escalate its air campaign.
There has been sporadic cross-border fire between the two countries since the start of the Syrian war in 2011.
Air strikes, said to have been carried out by Israel, have hit sites in Syria on numerous occasions, reportedly targeting weapons shipments for Lebanon's Shia militant movement Hezbollah.
Shells, mostly believed to be strays from the fighting in Syria, have also landed in the Israel-occupied Syrian Golan Heights. Syria has also previously fired anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli fighter planes over its airspace, although none are known to have been hit.
The Israeli military said its planes were already back in Israeli airspace when the SAMs were fired in the early hours of Friday.
Israeli media said one missile was intercepted north of Jerusalem by the Arrow system.
The Jordanian military said missile debris also landed in rural areas in the north of the country, the Associated Press news agency reported.
Pictures and video on social media showed a group of people gathered round what were said to be the burnt remains of a missile embedded in the ground amid twisted metal beside a building.
AP said it hit the courtyard of a home in Inbeh, about 25 miles (40 kilometres) from the Syrian border.
The company raised its revenue forecast for this year, saying there was stronger-than-expected demand for personal computers used by businesses.
Shares in Intel rose almost 5% in after-hours trading on Wall Street.
PC sales have been under intense pressure as consumers' preferences switch to tablets and smartphones.
Intel said it now expects second-quarter revenue of $13.7bn - plus or minus $300m. Intel had previously forecast revenue of $13bn - plus or minus $500m.
The chipmaker said it expects "some" revenue growth for the full year, compared with its previous forecast of flat revenue.
With personal computer shipments falling for eight straight quarters to the end of March, some analysts have suggested the industry's decline is close to hitting bottom, potentially giving Intel breathing room as it struggles to develop better processors for mobile and wearable devices.
"PCs have been getting less bad for a while," said Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon. "But if it's all business PCs then the question is going to be sustainability."
A family spokesman made the announcement late on Sunday night.
Sir Gerald had been an MP in the North West since 1970 and became the oldest serving member of the Commons in 2015.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn led tributes, calling him an "iconic and irascible figure". Former leader Ed Miliband said he was "an outstanding servant of the Labour movement".
Mr Miliband added: "His principles, values and friendship will be sorely missed."
Sir Gerald was a junior minister between 1974 and 1979, and held a number of senior shadow cabinet posts through the 1980s.
He famously called the Labour Party's left-wing 1983 election manifesto "the longest suicide note in history" and returned to the backbenches in the early 1990s.
Sixth seed and British number one Konta beat Australian Arina Rodionova 6-3 6-4 in her opening match of the tournament.
Unseeded Evans won 6-3 4-6 6-3 against Thiago Monteiro of Brazil.
But British number two Kyle Edmund went out after losing 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-5) against Australian qualifier Matthew Barton, who sits 153 places below the world number 45 in the rankings.
Cheikh Mbaye, 32, apparently said that life was better under ex-President Abdoulaye Wade, local media report.
He died in hospital where he was treated for burn wounds.
It is the first case of self-immolation in Senegal, a stable democracy hit by high unemployment, since Mr Sall beat Mr Wade in elections last year.
Mr Mbaye arrived at the presidential gates on Monday doused in flammable liquid and then burnt himself.
Local media quoted him as telling witnesses that life was better under Mr Wade, who failed to secure a controversial third-term in fiercely-contested elections last year.
There were at least two acts of self-immolation during Mr Wade's presidency.
In February 2011, former soldier Bocar Bocoum died after setting himself on fire outside the presidential residence.
He apparently carried out the act as part of demands for compensation for military injuries.
A man also set himself on fire in front of the presidential residence in 2008.
There have been similar acts of self-immolation in several African countries, including Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Senegal's neighbour, Mauritania.
The 32-year-old was first-team coach under Teddy Sheringham, who was sacked with the club 19th in League Two.
"The way I see it is this is my club and whatever the football club sees is the best pathway and future for them, I'll be happy," he told BBC Look East.
"I would just like to get the opportunity to take the club out on Saturday and get it out of the way."
Sarll, currently the bookies' favourite, continued: "I'm really looking forward to Saturday, it's going to be a big moment for me and after that we'll see what happens.
"Emotionally I think my thoughts will be pretty much led by what happens in fixtures, but I've absolutely not thought about it in the slightest - the phone hasn't stopped ringing, it's not allowed me to think anything other than what's going on now."

The former Brentford and Rotherham coach was given the chance to step up from the youth team to the first team in the summer by former England striker Sheringham, who left his job on Monday with the club having taken only three points from the last eight games.
When asked about his style of play, Sarll said: "I go to football matches to see goals go into the back of the net.
"Why would I want to go to a football match to see people pass it back to the goalkeeper? Why would I want to see the goalkeeper have more touches than a centre forward? I don't.
"I like to score goals and I like to score them quickly, not for the detraction of keeping the football and playing with a bit of style, but my teams play with a bit of steel."
Michael Davies, 71, from Blaina, Blaenau Gwent, was missing for five weeks before his remains were found on marshland in July.
He and his wife Pat were on a coach holiday and staying at the Hotel Maria.
Isle of Wight Coroner Caroline Sumeray said: "I cannot rule out that he suffered from a natural event such as a heart attack or a stroke."
Do you feel like the working day and perhaps even the weekend could be spent just trying to stay on top of the deluge of messages?
At this point does email feels like it's fundamentally broken?
You're not alone.
But BBC Click's LJ Rich thinks she has the solution...
Hi, You're probably fed up with reading emails like this. But stick with me, this is not spam, I promise! I want to inspire you to think differently about how to process email.
I've been "inbox zero" for at least three years now. And contrary to popular belief it's not because I spend my life answering emails - it's more because I've learned how to handle the massive influx of data without feeling the need to fix it all. I've tried some new apps that promise to help, but will any solve your email traffic jam? Read on…
LJ
Hi LJ, Our new app Inbox by Gmail might be of interest. It bundles messages by type - social updates, purchases, travel. Swipe a message right to mark as done, swipe left to snooze till a later date. Stick pins into emails you don't want to lose track of, or select a whole category, scan through it then mark all the messages as done in one sweep.
Thanks for the beta invite. Yes, I've played with this! Another service called Mailbox has some similar features (for those that don't have access to Gmail or the beta invite). Useful for people who receive lots of updates and social emails, though I worry that any automatic sorting system might gloss over what I feel are important emails.
Hi LJ, unroll.me turns all those bitty updates into a tidy digest. Our system needs to look through your email inbox, but then it can pull out all the things you're subscribed to and then give you the option to roll up some emails into one daily email and even unsubscribe from other services on your behalf.
Hi,
Interesting! Though I'm a bit freaked out by the service looking through my inbox, I'm really impressed with the result. I've bundled 60 emails into one daily digest using this service, though I didn't enjoy having to share the app to get the functionality! Luckily I just sent it to a Facebook friend to unlock more than five operations. The digest is sometimes topped and tailed with ads (which I'm fine with, it's a free service - everyone's got to make a living).
Hi LJ, There's also social takes on email like ours, Slack - where you can mix messaging and emails together. Chat, send files and set subjects or "channels" to suit you. Cat pictures can stay on the cat channel, while the actual work gets done on another. It integrates nicely with other online services like Google Docs and Dropbox.
Thanks - social email is an interesting step - there are tons of messenger apps like Whatsapp and Telegram. It's about time our social lives and email comms were integrated. I enjoy using Slack, but it seems more suited to my creative collaborative projects with friends already on it! No-one on my Click team seems to have stuck with it, so I still need email for people who aren't on the platform.
LJ, Thanks for trying out so many apps - but is it as much about knowing how to handle emails? Isn't this more about a habit you can get into that makes it easier to deal with the onslaught of messages?
Well, I'm glad you asked! Here are some tips just for you, Leo, and anyone else who's reading this.
1. Don't be a slave to your email inbox
I don't sort my emails anymore - I use the search bar instead. If I can't find certain threads, I just send a reply to my own email address with keywords that make sense to me. I was surprised at how much time I saved not putting things into folders.
2. It's OK not to respond to everything.
Everyone is in the same boat - we can't be expected to reply to everything. Once I've read through the content, I mark an email 'read'.
And if it becomes urgent and it's not been dealt with, I'll get a reminder. David Allen, who wrote Getting Things Done suggested that if it takes less than two minutes to do something, just do it.
For me, if an email request will take longer than that, I'll make it into a task and add it to my list, even if that's just scribbled on a piece of paper.
3. Consider starting again - Make your Unread Mail view your inbox
I go through all my unread email. Anything that needs dealing with, I add the "thing" to a separate task list that I trust. That task list then becomes my priority (not sorting through my emails).
Why not mark everything as read right now? Go on! Once I did this (and maybe for you too if you're feeling brave) my "unread emails" view became my new inbox.
At the end of each office session, I make sure I have no unread emails. I don't miss anything and I don't feel overwhelmed.
4. Check emails when you want - whatever works for you - no need to overdo it.
If I've been away for a week or two it's a simple matter of setting aside 20 minutes to run through my emails. If they need dealing with, I'll flag or star them or add them to my day task list (crucially once they are dealt with, I unstar!).
Once I started working from my "unread" view I felt like I could see what I needed to deal with a lot more simply.
Disclaimer: I should disclose that I type super-fast and I've practised processing data quickly, so your mileage may vary. But don't be discouraged!
Whatever you choose to do, the trick is not to let email overwhelm you. Zero inbox is a habit, not a goal. I can't control when someone sends me something.
But I can control how much time I spend dealing with it. For me the key to productivity is not to make email sorting the majority of your day.
All the best,
LJ Rich

The 22-year-old singer will star in the film, according to US magazine Variety, but it's thought to be a small part.
The drama, which is due for release in 2017, will recreate the events of the World War II evacuation of the French city Dunkirk in 1940.
Styles will appear alongside British actors Tom Hardy, Oscar-winner Mark Rylance and Sir Kenneth Branagh in the film.
Warner Bros, who are making the movie, are yet to comment on Harry's role. Newsround has contacted a representative for Styles for comment.
Harry shot to fame in 2010 when he became a member of the pop group One Direction on the British talent show, The X Factor.
The four members are currently on a year-long break from the band, which began after they released their fifth album in March 2016.
The carriageway was shut from junction 24 Coldra to 28 at Tredegar Park.
Officials said it led to very slow traffic as motorists were forced to come off the motorway on Friday night.
A diversion using the A48 through Newport was put in place and the fire service tweeted that the M4 would stay closed until further notice while emergency repairs were carried out.

The singer sat for Mr Davidson at his Suffolk home in August 2015, during which the artist made 20 drawings and took reference photographs.
Mr Davidson, who is known for his larger-than-life canvasses, has painted many high-profile people, including Seamus Heaney, Brad Pitt and the Queen.
It had been a "true privilege to get to know Ed and his family", he said.
The Belfast-based artist said that when painting a portrait he is "looking for the moment when the person is almost unaware of me being there".
"I feel I got it with Ed," he added.
"I deliberately didn't want Ed to perform and that was odd for him.
"There is a youthful aspect to the portrait but also something experienced beyond his years.
"It is my hope that this new portrait offers an alternative insight, one which allows the viewer to glimpse the source of Ed's unique creativity," he added.
Mr Davidson explained why all of his portraits were deliberately the same size.
"The idea is that everyone I paint is an equal and that format allows the face to become something else," he said.
"If you see a painting of a face that is life-size, it never becomes anything else, it is a head - if it is smaller or bigger it can become something else."
The artist is represented in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, the Ulster Museum in Belfast and Dublin's National Gallery of Ireland.
The portrait is one of two that Mr Davidson has painted of the singer, with the other in a private collection.
The four-foot square portrait, in oil on linen, will go on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London from 10:00 BST on Wednesday.
Last November, a portrait of the Queen by the artist was unveiled in London by the monarch.
Shropshire Fire Service was called to The Mill Hotel in Alveley, near Bridgnorth, shortly after 05:00 BST.
Area manager John Das-Gupta said the blaze had "compromised the integrity of the building".
The service said it received numerous calls alerting it to the fire "due to smoke being visible from a number of miles away".
The Shropshire service sent 11 fire engines and was supported by firefighters from across the region, including from Staffordshire, the West Midlands and Hereford and Worcester.
An investigation has begun into the cause of the blaze.
Earlier, area manager Andy Johnson said the fire involved "the whole of the building", which covers three floors.
Because of the scale of the blaze crews were expected to remain at the site through Monday night.
Neil Griffiths from the fire service said crews were unable to get into the building itself because of its fragile state. A structural engineer is on site.
The Mill Hotel, which was a popular wedding venue, closed unexpectedly last September as a result of the financial problems of its owner, Elysian Care..
The building dated back to the 16th Century and was once a working flour mill, according to Visit Heart of England.
The 41-bedroom hotel had been "carefully restored and extended" with many of the original features maintained, the tourist information website said.
Former Alex captain David Artell, 36, replaced Davis on Sunday, with Crewe 18th in the fourth tier.
"Something's got to change," Ashton told BBC Radio Stoke. "Maybe a fresh approach will make the difference.
"Steve did a magnificent job when he came in, taking over from Dario Gradi, in the right manner and philosophy."
But the once-capped England international, 33, added: "It's been a long time now that they've been on a steady decline.
"Apart from a good couple of months at the start of the season, they've not really looked like turning it around.
"Steve can look back at Crewe with fond memories and be proud of what he did. From where they were when he came in, two Wembley trips, promotion and a trophy was brilliant.
"But the real worry is that if the slide continues, then you're looking at the Football League trapdoor which Crewe definitely don't want to go through.
"It was the right time for him to step aside and for someone else to take it on."
"They now have David, who was club captain in successful times, and his number two Kenny Lunt is a great coach who brings experience of what it's like to get to Championship level with Crewe.
"And it's absolutely vital they use (head of recruitment) Neil Baker. He's been there and done it. Any situation Crewe go into, he's got that experience. He's got a good calmness to him. He's not going to make rash decisions."
Ashton left Crewe for Norwich for £3m in January 2005 and his subsequent move to West Ham a year later earned the club even more money with a sell-on fee.
Previously, players such as David Platt, Geoff Thomas, Robbie Savage, Rob Jones, Neil Lennon, Danny Murphy and Seth Johnson all moved for big transfer fees.
But, for all the success of their highly-rated academy, Crewe have not received a seven-figure fee for a player since Luke Murphy left for Leeds United in 2013.
"You're always looking for that next player to come through to go on to bigger and better things," said Ashton. "Since they sold Luke Murphy on the back of Nick Powell to Manchester United and Ashley Westwood to Aston Villa, it's been difficult.
"The only worry is that it's getting more and more difficult for teams like Crewe to bring talent through as the big clubs widen their search and get all of the best players.
"Within the boundaries Crewe set, you don't have money to spend. You have to bring youngsters through, and it's very difficult down there to constantly rely on your youth policy." | A robber made off with a four-figure sum of money after threatening staff at a Royal Bank of Scotland in Rutherglen in South Lanarkshire.

The Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) has found some of the characters in the Cairngorms.
The organisation said the game, which is played via a phone app, offered a good way for people to enjoy the outdoors.
However, it added that gamers should be aware of the potential hazards associated with hillwalking.
Pokémon Go sees players search for digital creatures in real-life locations.
Heather Morning, MCofS mountain safety adviser, said: "From a mountain safety perspective there are clearly a few issues here.
"It is not difficult to imagine a situation where a Pokémon Go gamer finds themselves lost and unable to find their way back to safety.
"It would be equally easy to see how someone could put themselves into danger focusing on their game rather than focusing on the ground in front of them."
She added: "Another aspect of Pokémon Go is the game's ability to eat your battery life. All the biggest battery-eating culprits are in action, and your screen is the biggest battery hog.
"On top of that, you will be using your camera, so that you can see the Pokémon in the real world. And to top it all off, the ever hungry GPS is a must to find the Pokémon in the first place. A classic combo for a dead phone very quickly.
"If your phone is your only tool for navigating your way out of wherever you have found yourself, then you are in for trouble."
Ms Morning has come across some of the digital creatures while on a trek in the Cairngorms.
She said: "It's a fun game, and it does encourage folk to get out and about and enjoy the great outdoors with all the health benefits that brings.
"However, gamers need to be aware if they are playing in an area that they are not familiar with - particularly in the mountains - that they should very much stay 'switched on' to where they are and how to get themselves home safely."
Walsh landed some strong blows in the contest but the Russian was given all four rounds on the judges's cards.
The Belfast woman was furious after not getting the verdict against Nicola Adams in last year's Commonwealth Games final in Glasgow.
Another Belfast fighter Sean McComb did win on Saturday morning.
Lightweight McComb became the first Irish boxer to win two bouts at the games as he convincingly beat Italy's Donato Cosenza.
McComb took a 30-27 verdict on all the cards and he will be guaranteed a medal if he wins his next fight against Yasin Yilmaz of Turkey.
Adam Nolan and Dean Gardiner also progressed to the quarter-finals of their divisions after wins over Italian opponents on Saturday.
Welterweight Nolan defeated Dario Morello on a unanimous decision while Gardiner outpointed Guido Vianello despite being knocked down during his contest.
Irish flyweight Myles Casey put up a brave performance against Azeri favourite Elvin Mamishzada before losing a majority decision.
Olympic champion Katie Taylor will be among the Irish boxers taking to the ring on Sunday.
Taylor takes on the last woman to defeat her - Bulgaria's Denista Eliseeva.
Eliseeva defeated Taylor on points at a Multi-Nations event in Bulgaria in February 2011 although it was regarded as a hugely contentious decision.
Since that fight, Taylor, 29, has beaten the Bulgarian on two occasions.
In a goalless first half, Yeni Ngbakoto shot straight at Adam Bogdan for QPR, while Wigan had Craig Morgan's far-post header disallowed for offside.
The winning goal came just minutes into the second half, when Nedum Onuoha lashed in after Jake Bidwell's free-kick was only half cleared.
Max Power fired wide and Will Grigg headed over for Wigan as QPR held on.
The first five minutes saw Ngbakoto almost put the visitors ahead, but his shot failed to trouble Bogdan in the Wigan goal, while Morgan's header was the best chance for the hosts in the opening period.
QPR went into the game on the back of defeats by Barnsley and Preston, but showed great resilience once they had taken the lead, epitomised by Alex Smithies' save at full stretch to deny Luke Garbutt.
Wigan had found the net at least once in their past 16 league outings, but despite those late efforts by Power and Grigg, it was QPR who took all three points.
QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink:
"For us it was important we came here and made sure our platform and organisation was right.
"We also had to make sure we didn't give a lot away, and made it difficult for them. We knew how they wanted to play, and how dominant they can be.
"I think we pushed them all over the pitch, and at times we could have been better with the ball and calmer with the ball.
"Overall it was a very solid performance, it was a grinder, and at times a little bit nervous. That is normal away from home. We stayed together as a team and we ground out a good win."
Wigan manager Gary Caldwell:
"It's frustrating again. I thought we created opportunities, even more so towards the end of the game.
"We could have switched play better, we could have played in wide areas better, we know they're a team that plays narrow.
"Again we conceded a poor goal, and we have to learn that clean sheets are going to be the bedrock of our success this season. We have to stop conceding poor goals.
"There were a few positives, we created opportunities, the players gave me everything, they kept going. We just have to work hard and make sure we get the little things right that become big things in the game."

Former Cardiff Blues player Davies has been linked with a return to the Arms Park, but his former Blues boss Young says they have not made an approach.
Ex-Wales prop Young did, however, say Davies could return to the country of his birth on a national dual contract.
"We've certainly had interest from regions within Wales, who are really keen on taking Brad back," said Young.
"And I think the [Welsh Rugby] Union will be keen on a dual contract situation as well.
"He's away with the Six Nations now. When he comes back we will sit down and decide between us what is the right path.
"He's certainly got an avenue to go back and we've just got to make sure between us it's the right thing for the club and the right thing for Brad."
Davies has a year left on his current contract at Wasps, who he joined from the Blues in 2014.
If one of the Welsh regions were to sign him this summer, they would have to negotiate a transfer fee with the English Premiership side for his early release.
"Some of the regions in Wales have shown an interest in Brad with the view of him going back home," Young added.
"I've read articles that the Blues are interested but we certainly have had nothing from the Blues. But other regions have shown an interest.
"It's still early days in these discussions - he's still under contract with us here at Wasps.
"We would still like to keep him. Obviously there are other factors in this regard - family and so on and the best for Brad's rugby career."
The Mark 1 Sunderland sank in a violent storm in 1940 but was rediscovered by divers in 2006.
Parts of the aircraft are already on display in a museum.
Now the Sunderland Trust has launched a crowdfunding campaign to salvage the remainder of the wreck.
It hopes to raise £50k to pay for a new underwater survey to be carried out so the boat can go on public display as the main exhibit in the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre, which tells the story of the Battle of the Atlantic.
Trust chair Gareth Mills told the BBC: "The divers have worked continuously for the last 10 years but the last survey on the T9044 in the dockyard was done six years ago.
"If we are going to realise the dream of lifting the Sunderland in one we need to have an updated survey done to ensure that we can do that safely."
The heritage centre has also announced it will be running a new flight experience from April where visitors can sit in a reconstructed Sunderland cockpit and take a simulated flight around Pembrokeshire. The replica has been created by a group of volunteers.
The Sunderland Flying Boats were an iconic World War II aircraft, and at one time 99 of them were stationed at the former RAF station in Pembroke Dock.
It was the largest wartime station for the Sunderland flying boats, which sought out and attacked U-boats.
The T9044 sank without casualties on its moorings in 1940 but was only discovered under 60ft (18.3m) of water by divers after a lobster pot became entangled on it, nearly 70 years later.
The heritage centre opened two years ago and rare artefacts on show there include a Bristol Pegasus engine complete with propeller and a restored tail gun, which is the only one in existence.
The legal move had come ahead of the season-opening game against Motherwell on Saturday.
Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood granted a decree which allowed sheriff's officers to evict the travellers if they had not left by 17:00 on Friday.
The encampment comprised about a dozen caravans and a selection of trucks.
It will also only run a very limited service on the East Coast line if the action goes ahead.
Thousands of signallers, maintenance staff and station workers are due to walk out for 24 hours from 17:00 BST on Monday in a row over pay and jobs.
Passengers are being advised not to travel unless "absolutely necessary".
There are also widespread cancellations expected across many other operators including CrossCountry Trains, Chiltern Railways, Arriva Trains Wales, First Great Western and ScotRail.
Virgin, which runs services on the major routes between London and Scotland, said if the strike goes ahead some tickets may be used on other days.
A Virgin spokesman said customers would need to make alternative arrangements, and those travelling on Sunday 24 May or Wednesday 27 May were advised to check for disruption before travelling.
Network Rail is making a legal challenge against the TSSA, one of the unions involved in the industrial action, which is due to be heard at the High Court on Thursday.
Chief executive Mark Carne also urged train passengers to be prepared for the strike, saying it could not bank on unions calling off the planned stoppage.
The two sides are continuing to hold talks at the conciliation service Acas. Network Rail said its negotiators would be available into the weekend if necessary.
A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group, which represents Network Rail and train operators, said a strike timetable would be made available once it was clear whether the strike would go ahead.
Full details of amended timetables are expected to be available from train operators by Saturday, with more "overviews and summaries" available from Thursday.
If the strike goes ahead, fans of Middlesbrough and Norwich City football clubs may have trouble travelling to Wembley for the Championship play-off final at 3pm on Monday.
The result of Saturday's election is too close to call and the result will not be known until at least Tuesday.
At least 11 of 150 lower house seats remain in doubt.
The Australian Electoral Commission tally has Labor leading in 69 seats and the ruling Liberal-National coalition leading in 64 seats.
Five seats are listed as close, and another six as "not yet determined". Counting of pre-poll, postal and absentee votes will resume on Tuesday.
Despite being behind in the official tally, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said early on Sunday morning he still expected to get the 76 seats he needs to form a new administration. Postal votes are expected to favour his candidates.
Analysts are still predicting that Mr Turnbull's coalition will come closest to forming a government, though a hung parliament, where neither party has an absolute majority, is likely.
Election sizzles: Democracy with a side of sausage
Cartoon: Planet of Forbidden Prime Ministers
Are Australians ready to gamble on yet another PM?
The massive scale of Australia's election
Who's who in Australia's 2016 federal elections?
The result is not decided, but the blame game has already begun.
Even if Malcolm Turnbull manages to snag a working majority - and that looks increasingly unlikely - he still comes out the loser in this election. Critics are already calling him out for a "lazy campaign".
Turnbull must wear this, but the record strength of the independent vote suggests something larger at play than a prime minister who misread the public mood.
There's been a flight away from mainstream politics to those advocating protectionist and anti-immigration policies in the US, UK and much of Europe. It seems Australians are of a similar mind.
Up to 12 upper house seats will go to politicians from outside the mainstream, including anti-immigration candidate Pauline Hanson. This will create major headaches for whoever forms a government.
Mr Turnbull confirmed he had held discussions with independent members of Australia's lower house, whose support he will need in a hung parliament.
These include Queensland independent Bob Katter, who said on Sunday he had drawn up a list of demands, and Senator Nick Xenophon, whose newly formed political party polled strongly and took a lower house seat.
Bill Shorten, leader of the Labor opposition, has also been talking to the crossbenchers, although most analysts believe it is unlikely he will be able to form a minority government.
All 150 seats in Australia's lower house, the House of Representatives, were being contested at this election, as were all 76 seats in the upper house, the Senate.
Nearly a quarter of Australians voted for a lower house candidate from outside the major parties. Results for the Senate vote are expected to take several weeks.
It is the first time in decades that all the seats in both houses have been contested in a single election. The double-dissolution election, as it is known, was called by Mr Turnbull in an attempt to break a deadlock over industrial relations legislation.
Counting will not resume until Tuesday because postal votes, absentee votes and pre-poll votes need to be packaged up and returned to counting stations to be processed.
Demonstrators called on the socialist government of Michelle Bachelet to scrap the the system, which is managed by private funds.
Critics say the system benefits the rich but leaves poorer Chileans with a pension below the minimum wage.
The system was introduced in 1981 under General Augusto Pinochet's rule.
Protest organisers said a total of more than 2 million people had joined marches in most Chilean cities, and that 800,000 people took part in Santiago alone.
Chilean police put the number of demonstrators in the capital at 50,000.
Chile's private pension system, known as AFP (Pension Fund Administrators), was once praised by pro-market politicians and economists across the world.
But critics say it benefits the administrators and the wealthy, but leaves poorer Chileans with a final pension of less than $400 (£320) a month.
In her first government, Ms Bachelet reformed AFP and reduced the commission private management companies are allowed to charge.
Both Saturday and Monday's scheduled sessions were called off due to a combination of thick mist and heavy rain.
Clerk of the course Gary Thompson cancelled Monday's session with no chance of the track drying in time.
Tuesday's session is scheduled to get under way at 18:20 BST
Manx Radio TT presenter Tim Glover said riders had already completed 778 practice laps by this time in 2016.
All roads around the 37.75-mile (60km) TT course will close to traffic at 18:00 BST, with the mountain section closing an hour earlier.
Practice will be held each evening ahead of the opening racing on Saturday.
The TT sees riders reach speeds in excess of 200mph on closed roads.
Last year, more than 40,000 fans travelled to the island for the festival, which has been running for 110 years.
Athletes from across the globe will come together to compete to be the best in the different sports in front of thousands of cheering fans in the stadium and at home.
There are hundreds of athletes from over 100 different countries competing over the 10 day event.
All of them fighting their hardest for gold.
So before the competition kicks off, here are 6 of the best from Team GB to watch out for...
The first one on our list is Mo Farah, one of British athletics most famous athletes in recent years. Mo was the first man in history to pull off an athletic triple double, that means he won gold in two athletic events at two world championships, one after another! Phew, Mo certainly goes for gold and its no doubt he will want to continue that in London.
Dina has been a household name for a number of years now and has shown herself to be a truly determined athlete. In 2016 she won gold in the 200m and secured a silver in the 4 x 100m relay at the European Championships in Amsterdam. She will be looking to add to her medal collection.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson is one of the younger competitors on our list, but that doesn't mean she is to be underestimated. She has won golds at different athletic events over the last few years, including in the World Juniors and competing as an adult at the European indoor Championships in 2015. In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Katarina secured a new Team GB high jump record.
Another young upstart on our list is CJ Ujah. Fresh from three first place finishes at the recent Diamond League competitions in Rome, London and Morocco, the 23 year old will be looking to add another gold to his trophy shelf. CJ has had plenty of practice running with the big dogs of the athletic world, having raced against none other than the fastest man alive, Usain Bolt!
Sophie Hitchon swapped ballet for track and field at 14 years old and hasn't looked back. Hitchon secured a bronze and a British record of an amazing 74.54m in the hammer throw during the 2016 Rio Olympic games! Hitchon has said that "The ballet helped by building strength from an early age.".
Laura Muir is another one on our list who is no stranger to breaking records, holding the British record in the 1500m. She has already grabbed two gold medals in 2017 at the European Indoor championships in Belgrade. No doubt she'll be wanting more from London.
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." | Pokémon Go fans are being asked to take precautions if searching for the game's digital creatures in Scotland's hills.

Paul Pogba - recalled by France in one of five changes - was lively and hit the woodwork twice in the first half.
French substitute Dimitri Payet also struck the crossbar with a brilliant volley from Moussa Sissoko's cross.
Switzerland could have had a penalty when Bacary Sagna pulled Blerim Dzemaili's shirt in injury time.
France will now play the third-placed team from either Group C, D or E - meaning Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are both potential opponents - in Lyon on Sunday.
The Swiss will face the second-placed team in Group C, who are currently Poland but could be Germany or Northern Ireland, at Saint-Etienne the day before.
With Albania beating Romania 1-0, Switzerland would have progressed even if they had lost at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille.
BBC pundit and France legend Thierry Henry put it best when he said his country go into the knockout stages not knowing their best XI.
France coach Didier Deschamps has changed his side in each game, with Pogba and Antoine Griezmann, who had been dropped for the 2-0 win against Albania, starting again after impressing off the bench in that match.
Juventus midfielder Pogba was the first half's outstanding player. He cleared a chance off the line, had a shot tipped onto the bar, forced another save from Yann Sommer and then smashed the ball against the bar with a swerving strike after a bursting run.
However, it was a different story in the second half, with the period only coming to life when Payet - the star of the tournament so far - came off the bench to a huge reception from the crowd.
The West Ham playmaker almost gave France the lead with a stunning volley after Sissoko's excellent run and cross down the right, seeing his effort come back off the bar.
Having scored in the 89th minute against Romania in the opening match and deep in injury time against Albania, he again had a chance for a late strike but his 87th-minute free-kick, which looked goalbound, hit a team-mate in the wall.
Switzerland have not beaten France in seven meetings now and rarely looked like ending that run, failing to hit the target with six shots - three were off target and three were blocked.
However, they played well - a long way from their 5-2 hammering by Les Bleus at the 2014 World Cup - and had 58% of possession.
They could even have topped the group above the hosts had they been awarded a penalty at the end when Sagna appeared to foul Dzemaili.
This is the first time they have qualified for the knockout stages of a European Championship, at the fourth attempt.
It was a strange game where on at least five occasions a Switzerland player's shirt was ripped. Midfielder Granit Xhaka, who joins Arsenal this summer, ended the game on his third jersey.
The ball even burst in the second half when Valon Behrami stood on the ball while tackling Griezmann.
Xhaka has cost Arsenal £35m from Borussia Monchengladbach and, on his displays so far at Euro 2016, he looks a stellar signing.
After two games he had the second most touches and passes in the tournament, behind Toni Kroos.
And he topped the charts for both against France, having 105 touches and making 94 passes, with an 89% completion rate. For comparison, Pogba had the ball most for France with 73 touches, passing it 46 times with 78.3% accuracy.
France coach Didier Deschamps: "The pitch is annoying. I don't know who is responsible. We are only in the group stage and it is in a state.
"But for a great goalkeeper and a few centimetres, we would have scored goals. You can always criticise but we kept a clean sheet and we finished top of the group.
"Every match is difficult. Apart from Spain, one or two examples, everyone is finding it tough.
"Paul Pogba was the life force of the match in the first half; he was the heart and soul. In the second half he didn't get forward but he has huge potential and I have huge confidence in him."
Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic: "It's a significant achievement but the first step forward was this, our minimum objective. We played well, we held firm and now we know we will play on Saturday.
"We need to rest up and now other sides deserve to run and play against us. We're relaxed and we'll be trying to win the game and not just do ourselves credit.
"We were excellent in the first half. In the second half it was tricky with the playing surface and we faded a bit. We kept our heads up, but we must do better in the last third of the pitch.
"It [the pitch] hampered the quality of the game. It does not hold up well and I hope they can fix it, but it was the same for both sides."

Police interviews with Michael Lane questioning him as to his whereabouts on the morning of Shana Grice's murder have been played to Lewes Crown Court.
The 19-year-old's body was discovered with her throat cut at her home in Portslade, East Sussex, on 25 August last year. Mr Lane, 27, denies murder.
CCTV footage seen by the court showed him nearby at the time she was killed.
The court heard that police believe Ms Grice died sometime between 07:25 and 08:00 BST, based on the fact that she was conducting a text message conversation with a friend.
A message was sent to her at 07:42, but phone records show she never opened it.
The jury was shown two taped police interviews carried out with Mr Lane.
In the first, police showed him CCTV footage of his movements on the morning of the murder.
The court heard that Mr Lane had said he had left his home in Portslade at 08:00 that morning, but the CCTV showed him near Ms Grice's house in Chrisdory Road at 07:29.
The detectives asked him why he appeared to have changed his story, to which he replied he must have been confused about the time.
In one exchange, a detective told him: "If you killed Shana that would be one explanation as to why your story keeps changing.
"The truth is you went and killed her. Is that correct?"
Mr Lane replied: "No."
The detective then said: "So why all the changes?"
Mr Lane said: "Because of how it looks."
The trial continues.
The Jewellery Quarter Research Trust is creating a database of graves in Grade II listed Warstone Lane and Grade II* listed Key Hill cemeteries.
The trust, which runs a listings website for the graveyards, has had interest from relatives of the deceased and enquiries from around the world.
Former mayor Joseph Chamberlain is among the dignitaries buried there.
More on this story and other from Birmingham and Black Country
Doug Wilks, chairman of the trust, said it will take up to 15 years to document the graves, but is hoping the database can help promote the history of the area.
"It's absolutely fascinating, you see so many people who were part of history," he said.
"Hopefully in the next few years it will be very useful to researchers."
The graveyards were once on the Historic England register of buildings deemed to be at risk but have since been removed thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Not only do they contain the remains of some of the city's industrial leaders but they are also home to some interesting architecture such as the Warstone Lane Cemetery catacombs where printer and publisher John Baskerville lies.
Forensic evidence linking Jay Jay Kirton, 24, to the crime was found on the steering wheel and gear stick.
Kirkton and Richard Cameron, 30, admitted the robbery using knives at DSG Stores, in Bankhead Road, in June last year.
Kirkton also pleaded guilty to stealing the car involved. Sentence at the High Court in Edinburgh was deferred.
The court had heard money and cigarettes were stolen.
On Friday, the Constitutional Council rejected a challenge by the right-wing opposition, clearing the way for Francois Hollande to sign the bill.
He said: "I have taken [the decision]; now it is time to respect the law of the Republic."
The first gay wedding could be held 10 days after the bill's signing.
But Parliamentary Relations Minister Alain Vidalies told French TV he expected the first ceremonies to take place "before 1 July".
By Hugh SchofieldBBC News, Paris
Gay groups in France are delighted that the marriage bill has finally become law. They say there are thousands of couples waiting to get married, and thousands of children being brought up in gay households who will now have the full protection of the law.
Opponents are angry and frustrated. They think President Hollande has made gay marriage a personal obsession, because he's failed to make progress on other more pressing issues - like the economy. There's also irritation that the Constitutional Council cleared the text on 17 May - which happens to be World Day Against Homophobia. It suggests, opponents say, that social pressure formed part of the sages' considerations.
Another anti-gay marriage demonstration is planned for 26 May. It could easily be another monster-manif, like the ones earlier this year. This is because opposition to gay marriage has become conflated with all sorts of other anti-government grievances coming from the right. And the atmosphere in the country is particularly volatile.
But in reality the battle is over. Gay weddings will now begin to be held in France. Some on the right will promise a repeal if they get elected, but experience shows that reversing this kind of social change is extremely hard.
Mr Hollande and his ruling Socialist Party have made the legislation their flagship social reform since being elected a year ago.
After a tortured debate, the same-sex marriage and adoption bill was adopted by France's Senate and National Assembly last month.
The bill was quickly challenged on constitutional grounds by the main right-wing opposition UMP party of former president Nicolas Sarkozy.
But the Constitutional Council ruled on Friday that same-sex marriage "did not run contrary to any constitutional principles," and that it did not infringe on "basic rights or liberties or national sovereignty".
It said the interest of the child would be paramount in adoption cases, cautioning that legalising same-sex adoption would not automatically mean the "right to a child".
Comedian Frigide Barjot, who has become a leading mouthpiece for the anti-gay marriage movement, denounced the ruling as "a provocation" and called for the campaign to continue.
Scores of protesters took to the streets of Paris to voice their opposition to the ruling on Friday: previous, occasionally violent, demonstrations against the bill have drawn hundreds of thousands onto the streets.
UMP President Jean-Francois Cope said he regretted the Constitutional Council's decision but would respect it. Another senior UMP figure, Herve Mariton, said the party would come up with alternative proposals in 2017 that were "more respectful of the rights of children".
The anti-gay marriage lobby, backed by the Catholic Church and conservative opposition, argues the bill will undermine an essential building block of society.
Opinion polls have suggested that around 55-60% of French people support gay marriage, but only about 50% approve of gay adoption.
France is now the 14th country to legalise gay marriage after New Zealand last month.
It is also the ninth country in Europe to allow same-sex marriage after legalisation in the traditionally liberal Netherlands and Scandinavia, but also in strongly Catholic Portugal and Spain. Legislation is also moving through the UK Parliament.
But the measure has aroused stronger than expected opposition in France - a country where the Catholic Church was thought to have lost much of its influence over the public.
In January, a protest in Paris against the bill attracted some 340,000 people according to police - one of the biggest public demonstrations in France in decades. Organisers put the figure at 800,000.
Since then, both sides have held regular street protests.
Mr Hollande has been struggling with the lowest popularity ratings of any recent French president, with his promises of economic growth so far failing to bear fruit and unemployment now above 10%.
Residents suggested the flat in Hornchurch, east London, was a cannabis factory but the force said it did not believe that to be the case.
A spokesman said a "possible cause" of the blast on Monday was the preparation of other types of drugs.
Two men have been arrested over the explosion and remain in hospital where they are receiving treatment.
The explosion caused widespread disruption to London commuters travelling to Essex on Monday.
It occurred at Bridge Point on Ardleigh Green Road shortly after 17:00 GMT with debris causing the closure of the A127 Southend Arterial Road.
Firefighters said they rescued 25 people as residents were evacuated from the building.
London Ambulance Service said four people had been treated at the scene and taken to hospital, while a woman and a child trapped on the building's second floor had escaped down a fire brigade ladder.
A Havering Council spokesman said the explosion happened in a ground-floor flat.
He said 41 properties had been evacuated and most residents went to a nearby restaurant while alternative accommodation was found.
The Modern Slavery Act has increased the maximum custodial sentence for offenders from 14 years to life.
It also gives courts powers to impose orders to restrict the activities of suspected traffickers.
Anne Read, of the Salvation Army, said thousands remain trapped in slavery.
The new legislation also gives victims extra protection against prosecutions for offences committed as part of their exploitation and provides slavery victims access to civil legal aid.
Powers to encourage reparation orders, for courts to use seized assets from perpetrators to compensate victims, have also come into force.
The bill - which was given Royal Assent in March - aims to consolidate offences used to prosecute those who enslave others into a single act.
The plans were first unveiled by Home Secretary Theresa May in August, last year.
Home Office figures estimate there could be between 10,000 and 13,000 people who remain trapped in modern day slavery in the UK.
They including women forced into prostitution, domestic staff who are imprisoned, and people forced to work in fields, factories and on fishing boats.
To coincide with the new legislation, the College of Policing has published new national guidance on investigating slavery and human trafficking.
It says the "primary objective" of investigating allegations is to safeguard and support victims. and includes guidance on how officers can identify people who may be at risk of becoming a victim of trafficking or forced labour.
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the guidance warns officers that victims may be experiencing so-called "Stockholm syndrome", where they have positive feelings towards their captors.
It warns it may take "months to obtain evidence from them", our correspondent said.
Ms Read, anti-trafficking and slavery director at the Salvation Army, said: "Everyone engaged in this work is pleased that something is being done, there is now an escalation in effort.
"There are thousands of people trapped in situations not of their choosing, doing things they do not what to do and things need to be done to help them and to stop anybody else being sold in to slavery."
The Salvation Army - which holds the Home Office contract for managing safe houses for adult trafficking victims - says it has helped more than 2,500 men, women and families over the past four years.
He said firms were tempting in new customers with prices that were "too low", which put prices up for existing customers.
Car insurance premiums have gone up by 11% in the last year, according to the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
The typical bill for an annual policy is now £484, it said.
"I think that the UK car insurance market is dysfunctional, I don't think it works properly," Mr Wilson told the BBC's Today Programme.
"The entry level is too low and then it gets put up for all existing customers," he said.
Aviva has developed a "suite" of products to be launched before the end of the year, which will help reward loyal customers.
"Let's see how it goes," Mr Wilson said.
Car insurance is just 2% of Aviva's total business.
Shares in Aviva rose by about 0.5%, after the company reported operating profits up by 8% in the first half of 2017.
Sales of annuities, bulk annuities and equity release products all rose, with growth particularly strong in the UK.
The dividend was up by 13%.
However, Mr Wilson refused to say whether he thought he was paid too much.
"I think I'll let the shareholders answer that one," he told the BBC.
He said the company was happy to publish the ratio of its highest paid employee to its lowest, as soon as the government had determined how such a ratio should be expressed.
Aviva already pays its employees the National Living Wage and requires all its contractors to do likewise.

Deputy leader Amelia Womack said the proposed increase would be "life changing" for families.
The Greens are also pledging to reverse cuts to welfare as part of efforts to "protect the most vulnerable".
The pledges, announced as the party unveiled its campaign bus in Bristol, would be paid for by increasing tax for the wealthiest, Ms Womack said.
This election issue includes access to benefits (apart from pensions), poverty and inequality.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Child benefit is a tax-free payment aimed at helping parents cope with the cost of bringing up children.
Currently, one parent can claim £20.50 a week for an eldest or only child and £13.55 a week for each of their other children.
The payments apply to all children aged under 16 and in some cases until they are 20 years old.
"We believe in doing more, much more, to redistribute income within our society," Ms Womack said.
"That's why we're being honest about the fact that we'd increase tax for the richest in society - and it's why we're able to pledge that we'd double child benefit to £40 a week.
"For the 29% of children here in Bristol West who live in poverty, this increase will be life changing."
The party also wants to retain the Independent Living Fund that helps disabled people to live and work in the community, and which is due to close on 30 June 2015.
"We won't stand by while this lifeline is cut away," said Ms Womack, estimating that the policy would cost £300m.
The deputy leader said the Greens would always stand for an economy that "works for the many", adding: "That means our MPs will never blame the most vulnerable for the mistakes of those at the top."

He was stopped by US border officers trying to enter the US from Mexico in 2013 with two containers of liquid.
When he told them they contained apple juice, the agents told him to prove it by taking a swig.
The highly toxic drug killed Mr Velazquez within hours.
His family brought a wrongful death lawsuit against two border protection officers and the US government, alleging that the two agents "coerced and intimidated" Mr Velazquez into drinking the liquid even though they suspected it was a controlled substance.
"I'm not prepared to say they knew for certain that it was going to kill him," the family's lawyer, Eugene Iredale, said. "It's obvious that they suspected from the beginning that it's meth," he added.
Mr Iredale told the Washington Post newspaper that Mr Velazquez had acted wrongly in trying to smuggle the substance across the border "but he's a 16-year-old boy with all the immaturity and bad judgment that might be characteristic of any 16-year-old kid".
The lawyers said Mr Velazquez did not have a criminal record, and it was suspected the boy had been paid a small sum by drug dealers to act as a "mule", carrying the drug across the border.
He tried to cross into the US on foot at the San Ysidro port of entry, near his hometown of Tijuana.
Mr Velazquez started having convulsions soon after taking sips of the liquid and reportedly started shouting in Spanish "my heart, my heart" and "the chemicals!".
He died shortly after being taken to a US medical centre.
Mr Iredale said that the settlement had been reached after several conversations between the parties. Mr Velazquez's parents have been paid the $1m agreed, he said.
The two border officers are still employed by Customs and Border Protection in San Diego.
While Edinburgh, East Renfrewshire, Highlands and Borders councils agreed rises of 3%, Aberdeenshire Council approved a rise of 2.5%.
Earlier this week, Midlothian and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles) voted for a 3% increase.
Orkney Council may also indicate whether it may raise bills but a formal decision will not be made until later.
Local authorities can raise the basic council tax bill by up to 3% but people in Band E-H properties face automatic rises because of national changes.
Typically a 3% rise in Band D bills will cost householders £3-£4 a month - the figures vary from council area to area. However, Band E-H billpayers will still have to pay more even if a council decides to freeze the basic bill.
The rest of Scotland's 32 councils will decide whether to raise basic council tax over the next few weeks.
Many have given no public indication of what may happen.
However, Labour-run Glasgow, West Dunbartonshire and Fife councils are likely to opt for 3% rises.
But South Lanarkshire and Inverclyde councils, which are also led by Labour, have both said they plan to keep basic bills frozen.
Local government funding has been the subject of intense debate at Holyrood.
Cosla, which represents most councils, says local authorities across Scotland face some £200m of cuts.
The Scottish government has consistently argued that its plans would mean more money would be available for local services overall. Its calculations included the changes to council tax nationally, potential local increases and ring-fenced money that will be given to head teachers to help them raise attainment.
But councils countered that there would be less government money for ongoing commitments.
Last week the government agreed to give £160m more to councils than originally planned to win support from the Greens for its Budget.
The council tax typically accounts for about 15% of a council's budget.
The overall amount raised by a 3% rise and the changes to bands will often be relatively modest. Western Isles said the two changes together would bring in just over £500,000.
As a general rule, more prosperous areas will benefit the most from the changes to the way bills for Band E-H properties are calculated - but head teachers in these areas will also get less from the government's ring-fenced money to raise attainment.
The frontrunner, a billionaire businessman with no political experience, refused to apologise over comments about the wife of Jeb Bush.
And the biggest applause went to Carly Fiorina, when she responded to a recent jibe by Mr Trump over her looks.

Mr Bush and Mr Trump traded blows on a few issues, notably when the former Florida governor demanded the tycoon apologise to his wife for saying he was weak on immigration because she is Mexican. Mr Trump refused.
But the loudest audience response of the night came when Ms Fiorina was asked about an interview in which Trump was quoted as saying "Look at that face!" and said she could not be president.
She replied, to thunderous applause: "I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr Trump said."
Other highlights in the debate:
An undercard debate for the four other Republican candidates happened on the same stage earlier.
In a combative atmosphere, the four were split over the case of Ms Davis, who defied a Supreme Court ruling and refused to issue marriage licences to gay couples.
The Democratic Party will hold its first debate in Nevada in October, also hosted by CNN.
By next summer, each party will have a presidential nominee who will do battle in the race for the White House. Votes will finally be cast in November 2016.

Kate Hill was receiving hormone treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that meant she was not ovulating.
She apparently conceived twins at different times despite only having unprotected sex once during that time.
It is very rare for a woman to conceive a second time when already pregnant.
Most twins are the result of a woman releasing two eggs at the same time, or, less commonly, a fertilised egg subsequently splitting into two.
The twin girls, Charlotte and Olivia, were born 10 months ago with different sizes, weights and gestational development, according to reports.
"We actually did not realise how special that was until they were born," Mrs Hill told Australia's Seven Network.
Pregnancy normally stops the monthly cycle of ovulation but very rarely a woman can release another egg after conceiving. If this is fertilised it could also implant and develop into a healthy pregnancy.
It is believed only 10 cases of the phenomenon, known as superfoetation, have been documented across the world.
Speaking about the rare conception, Mrs Hill's husband Peter joked: "Hole in one, maybe."
The couple's obstetrician Brad Armstrong said the condition was so rare he was forced to search for it online.
"I could not find any literature in the medical review websites at all," he said.
Norilsk Nickel says that heavy rains on 5 September caused a "filtration dam" at its Nadezhda plant to overflow into the Daldykan river.
However, it says there is no danger to people or wildlife.
The company had flatly denied it was responsible when images of the red river near Norilsk emerged last week.
A Greenpeace Russia activist says it is too early to judge the impact.
"You can't just say that it's no big deal," Alexei Kiselyov told the AFP news agency.
He said Norilsk Nickel controlled access to the entire Taymyr Peninsula, where the incident happened, hampering investigators looking into pollution from its plants.
Environment Ministry officials had suggested last week that a leak of chemical pollutants from a pipe at the industrial site could have discoloured the river.
Norilsk Nickel denied any such claim, however, even posting pictures allegedly showing the river with a "natural tone" on 7 September.
Indigenous groups have accused the company of lax safety standards.
The Dyfed-Powys Police officer mistakenly sent the email about eight people from Powys to a member of a local community scheme after selecting the wrong name from an email list.
It contained names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) fined the force £150,000.
It found Dyfed-Powys did not have the right measures in place to keep personal information secure.
The address book was only meant to be used for internal emails, but an ICO investigation found it had grown to contain frequently used email addresses for external contacts.
The person who received the email was the first name in the alphabetical list and had received five emails meant for other people in just four days in April 2015.
Assistant commissioner Anne Jones said: "This was an accident waiting to happen. The force failed to take advantage of earlier opportunities to address the problem, and now faces the consequences of getting it wrong.
"While at first glance this might seem like simple human error, it was made possible by the poor procedures the force had in place around protecting people's personal data.
"This is a troubling story, and one that will do little to reassure the local community that its police force can be trusted to look after sensitive information."
Temporary deputy chief constable Liane James said: "We accept that mistakes were made and have acted to make the necessary changes to processes and systems.
"We work hard to ensure the safety of the data available to us and will continue to take the learning from this, now and in the future."
Porsche's deliveries jumped 15%, Audi's 8.3% and Bentley posted a growth of 19% in 2013, from a year earlier.
Demand for luxury cars has been growing in emerging markets such as China and India amid rising income levels.
Carmakers have also benefited from a recovery in demand from the US, one of the biggest markets for luxury cars.
Audi's sales jumped 13.5% in the US during the period, from a year ago, while Porsche saw a growth of 21%. Bentley deliveries in the US rose 28%.
China was the other major growth market for the firm, with both Audi and Porsche posting nearly 20% growth.
However, Bentley's sales in China declined 3% from a year ago.
Volkswagen has set its sights on becoming the world's biggest carmaker by 2018.
The latest figures are likely to provide a big boost to the German carmakers's ambitions.
Overall, Audi sold 1.57 million cars and sport-utility vehicles globally last year, Porsche sold 162,145 vehicles and Bentley's sales totalled 10,120 units.
"We set an important milestone for Audi in the past year: We achieved our intermediate strategic goal of 1.5 million deliveries two years earlier than planned, and in fact comfortably exceeded it," Rupert Stadler, chairman of Audi, said in a statement.
"This means that in the past four years alone, Audi has attracted more than 600,000 new customers."
The numbers by Volkswagen come at a time when the global car market has been recovering from the slump seen in the years after the global financial crisis.
Data released on Thursday showed that car sales in China - the world's biggest car market - rose 14% in 2013, from a year ago. That compares to an annual growth rate of less than 5% seen in the previous two year.
According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers 21.98 million vehicles were sold in China last year.
Industry figures released earlier this week showed that UK car sales rose to 2.26 million units in 2013 - a jump of 10.8% from the previous year. The figure was the best since 2007.
Analysts also expect 2013 to be the best year for US auto market since 2007, with total annual sales expected to reach nearly 15.6 million units.
If that figure is met, it would mark a strong recovery from 2009 when sales fell to 10.4 million during the depths of the recession.
Carmakers have obviously benefited from this recovery.
US firm Ford has already said it expects to make a profit of about $8.5bn (£5.2bn) for 2013 - making it one of the most profitable ones in its history.
On Thursday, the company announced that it was increasing its quarterly dividend by 25%.
Fly-half Rhys Patchell scored 19 points for the hosts with a try, four conversions and three penalties.
Munster's Darren Sweetnam went over for the opening try and Macauley Cook responded.
The hosts were never behind after Patchell's conversion as Matthew Rees and Garyn Smith also crossed.
Munster stay fifth in the table while Blues go level on 39 points with Ospreys but stay ninth, a place below their Welsh rivals.
Fly-half Keatley's early penalty was followed by centre Francis Saili sending wing Sweetnam over at the corner.
Patchell's first penalty came as Munster continued to dominate the opening quarter, but the hosts took the initiative before the break.
Number eight Josh Navidi broke away to pave the way for flanker Cook to touch down.
Keatley and Patchell exchanged penalties before hooker Rees' try increased the hosts' lead.
Hooker Sherry replied for Munster only for centre Smith to intercept and race to the line from 45 metres.
Patchell claimed Blues' bonus-point try as he went clear and after back-rower O'Donoghue went over, Jarrod Evans' last-minute penalty ensured Munster went home without a losing bonus point.

A photograph of six-year-old Murtaza Ahmadi wearing the shirt made from a striped blue plastic bag went viral in January and ended with the boy receiving a signed shirt from the Barcelona striker.
But now the pair have come face to face in Doha, according to Qatar's 2022 World Cup organising committee.
Barcelona are in Qatar to play a friendly against Al Ahli on Tuesday and Ahmadi will walk out on to the pitch with Messi.
"The image the world wanted to see," tweeted the Supreme Committee on Tuesday. "The six-year-old boy who dreamed of meeting his hero, #Messi, finally comes true."

We are not in a time of beer and sandwiches. This is not the 1970s, when union barons and politicians shared snacks and hard talk at Number 10.
In fact, these days the capital's union leaders can't even get their feet through the front door at City Hall.
Since becoming mayor, Boris Johnson hasn't held talks with those who run London's transport unions despite numerous strikes. The only time he talked to Bob Crow, the former leader of the RMT, was when Mr Crow called in to a radio show the mayor was on.
Critics say the mayor should play more of a role in building bridges, but the mayor says it's for his team at Transport for London to do the talking.
But it's hard to split the politics from the process. Remember the root cause of this dispute: the mayor's ambition to run tubes through the night on Fridays and Saturdays.
It was a decision announced on the very day he revealed that TfL was to close its ticket offices (before becoming mayor he'd promised that none would shut under a Johnson administration).
As the unions went on strike over that decision, the mayor was happy to call for a change in the threshold for strike ballots - one that required the unions to get higher turnouts and higher majorities before they took action.
It is a call that has been heeded in Westminster.
The new government's Trade Union Bill will require a 50% threshold for ballot turnout and in key areas, like health, education and transport, require 40% support from all eligible members for action to go ahead.
Interestingly, the current strikes would still have gone ahead even if that legislation had been in place since both turnout and support are well above the government's suggested levels.
So where are we now with the current dispute?
Despite weeks of talks the two sides remain some way apart.
From the sidelines, the mayor has accused the unions of "playing politics" and, from the frontline, the unions have accused the mayor of - you guessed it - "playing politics".
At least there's one thing they agree on.
Ten years ago I got on a tube train. It was a normal day for me. I was going to Holborn for a summer school at the London School of Economics, I wanted to change the world using the experiences from this project. I was 16.
I remember the train I was on, it was packed full of people, and I was writing my homework on the train. I was rushing it away because I wanted to spend more time resting at home. I remember the papers with the news about the Olympics. I remember a bang.
I remember the smoke and wondering if I could breathe and the panic in people's faces. I remember how people had to break the windows of the train to let air in.
There was very little communication between carriages, but I remember one thing. I remember screaming for help coming from the tunnel.
I remember 45 minutes feeling like the rest of my life. I cried, holding onto a railing, not talking to anyone, wanting people to talk to me, to help me.
I needed help. I needed to get out. No mobile phone signal. I was scared. I didn't know how to talk to anyone - 45 minutes later, we were told to walk along the tunnel, but the train lines were still on. I remember being so scared and walking tentatively down the tunnel.
As soon as I got to King's Cross I saw others around me, and walked home. Covered in soot and dirt, crying my eyes out, I ran home. I walked miles. It took two hours.
I didn't even know it was a bomb, I thought it was a power surge. My mother greeted me at the door and let me in to watch the news. She returned to work later that day.
I went to the bathroom and only then did I notice the soot on my arms, legs, clothes and face.
I received no help that day and I still hate the tube, I hate small spaces and I can't stand BBQs.
I can only sleep in darkness, no faint lights because they remind me of the tunnels.
I thank the staff for all their support: tube workers, paramedics and police. I remember feeling not worthy of medical help and even now I still feel that - now suffering PTSD and severe anxiety and depression. I slipped through the cracks.
I wish I had sought help at the time, because right now, it still feels like it was yesterday.
Karl Williams was travelling in the same carriage as the bomber. Panic-stricken and in the dark, Karl held the hand of an unknown woman whom he credits with saving him.
He has spent the last 10 years looking for her in the hope that he can thank her personally for her support and reassurance.
I was in the Edgware Road train that was hit by the blast from the train coming the opposite way.
I was in the last carriage. When the bomb exploded I thought we had hit another train and my first thought was I don't want to burn to death.
There was a deathly silence for about 30 seconds, then the most ghastly screaming.
I took my shoe off and smashed the emergency box to get into the empty driver's compartment, then opened the door onto the track.
The compartment was not packed and having the door open to the track gave everybody the security of knowing there was a way out in the event of a secondary explosion.
I remember everyone being very calm and one family that stuck in my mind was a husband and wife and young son who had just arrived from Heathrow and were heading up north. A great first welcome to the UK.
The paramedics arrived and checked us over and then led us through the mangled debris. We were then given a blanket and water and taken to the M&S store to be checked over again.
I was then released with no details taken and walked through the enormous crowd in Edgware Road.
I then walked to Marble Arch where I got a cab home. I have not been contacted since and felt for a while I was suffering from survivor guilt complex.
I don't talk about the events of 7/7 as I feel that so many people suffered great loss and hardship and I wouldn't want to put myself in that bracket. I don't feel traumatised by 7/7 now, but occasionally I can still hear those awful screams.

A declaration criticising the Venezuelan government was put forward by countries including the United States and Mexico but was opposed by some of Venezuela's Caribbean allies.
Meanwhile in Caracas, anti-government protesters and security forces clashed.
Almost 60 people have died in protest-related violence since 1 April.
Representatives of 33 countries from the western hemisphere attended the meeting on Venezuela's crisis at the OAS headquarters.

Venezuela did not show up. The South American country announced in April that it would withdraw from the regional body after a majority of its members voted in favour of holding the meeting.
Canada, Mexico, Panama, Peru and the United States put forward a declaration calling for an immediate end to the violence, for political prisoners to be freed and respect for human rights and the rule of law.
The declaration also included a demand that the Venezuelan government shelve plans for the creation of a citizens' assembly to rewrite the constitution.
The plan was announced by President Nicolás Maduro on 1 May as a way of bringing the country together but opposition politicians have denounced it as a "fraud" and a way to further delay overdue gubernatorial elections.
US State Department Undersecretary for Political Affairs Thomas Shannon said the ultimate goal of the declaration was to "return to full respect for the rule of law, full respect for freedoms of political expression and participation" in Venezuela.
But it failed to get the support of two-thirds of the OAS countries present, as Caribbean nations which rely on cheap oil from Venezuela put forward their own, softer declaration.
Nicaragua, a staunch ally of Venezuela, opposed the crisis meeting altogether, arguing Venezuela was the victim of a "political lynching".
After five hours of discussion and no agreement, member states agreed to postpone the meeting to a later date in June.
The Venezuelan government celebrated the suspension as a victory against "interventionist countries" trying to meddle in Venezuelan affairs.
While the discussions were under way in Washington, thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets in Caracas again and tried to march to the foreign ministry.
Opposition politicians said at least 89 people were injured when protesters clashed with security forces blocking their way.
Dozens of vehicles broke down after motorists used diesel pumps at the station in Branksome in Poole, Dorset, on 18 September.
Police think the contamination occurred when fuel was stolen from a tanker in Grays, Essex, and replaced with non-road diesel before heading to Dorset.
A man from Canvey, 57, was arrested on suspicion of theft and bailed.
The petrol station was forced to close for nearly two months while investigations were carried out.
At the time, customers complained of damage running into thousands of pounds being done to their vehicles.
Tesco previously said tests had not confirmed what caused the contamination.
Known as "the Terminator", over the last two decades Gen Ntaganda has fought for several rebel groups in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as well as serving as a general in the Congolese army - and is wanted by the International Criminal Court on allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
It is unclear why he has chosen to surrender to the ICC - or why he chose Washington's embassy in Rwanda - neither the US nor Rwanda recognise the tribunal, unlike many other states in Africa and Europe.
But they will now have to co-operate with the ICC so that he can be transferred to The Hague to stand trial - or risk a diplomatic outcry at a time when the United Nations is spearheading new efforts to end the conflict in a country two-thirds the size of western Europe.
Despite denials by Rwanda's government, DR Congo has repeatedly accused it of backing Gen Ntaganda.
"The fact that he showed up in Kigali raises a lot of questions. He could have also showed up in Uganda [another neighbour of DR Congo], but he decided to do that in Kigali," Thierry Vircoulon, of the think-tank International Crisis Group, told the BBC.
"Was it because it was the only way out or because he also wanted to embarrass his former sponsor?"
Born in Rwanda and raised in DR Congo, Gen Ntaganda and President Paul Kagame's government in Kigali were once staunch allies, bound together by ethnic ties - both come from the minority Tutsi ethnic group which feels threatened since the genocide that saw hard-line Hutu militias kill some 800,000 people in Rwanda in 1994.
Gen Ntaganda fought for Mr Kagame against Rwanda's Hutu-led government in the early 1990s.
After Mr Kagame took power in 1994, Bosco Ntaganda served as a bulwark in eastern DR Congo against the Hutu militias that took refuge there after being driven out of Rwanda at the end of the genocide.
Gen Ntaganda also fought the Congolese government, accusing it of oppressing DR Congo's own Tutsi population living in the east, near the border with Rwanda.
He fled to the US embassy after his M23 rebel movement, which was formed last year after an army mutiny, split last month.
There was heavy fighting between rival factions in eastern DR Congo, which reportedly left Gen Ntaganda on the back foot.
It is not clear what caused the split, but forces loyal to Gen Ntaganda and ousted M23 political head Jean-Marie Runiga appeared to lose ground to troops allied with the movement's military chief Sultani Makenga.
An ally of Col Makenga, Col Innocent "India Queen'' Kahina, told Associated Press news agency that he saw Gen Ntaganda in the battlefield last week.
"We shot at him, but he got away,'' Col Kahina is quoted as saying.
"Apparently, he thought an almost sure prison sentence was better than his other options," DR Congo analyst Jason Stearns writes on the Congo Siasa blog.
Mr Vircoulon says Rwanda will be worried about Gen Ntaganda appearing in the dock at The Hague.
"He will have a lot of things to say at the ICC and his testimony may potentially be very damaging and could have huge consequences for Kigali."
For New York-based pressure group Human Rights Watch (HRW), should Gen Ntaganda stand trial, it would help end the culture of impunity in DR Congo.
"Ntaganda's appearance in the dock at a fair and credible trial of the ICC would send a strong message to other abusers that they too may face justice one day," HRW Africa researcher Ida Sawyer said.
The DR Congo conflict has been a major focus of the ICC since its formation more than a decade ago, with two cases finalised so far - the acquittal of militia leader Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui in December 2012 and the sentencing some six months earlier of his rival, Thomas Lubanga, to 14 years in jail for recruiting children into his rebel army in 2002 and 2003.
Gen Ntaganda was once allied with Lubanga, serving as his chief of staff in the Union of Congolese Patriots (UPC) rebel group.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Gen Ntaganda in 2006, accusing him of committing atrocities, along with Lubanga, in 2002 and 2003 - charges that are unrelated to the latest conflict involving the M23.
With more charges added against Gen Ntaganda in 2012, he now faces 10 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Profile: Bosco Ntaganda
Q&A: International Criminal Court
While Lubanga was captured by the DR Congo government in 2006 and put on trial, Gen Ntaganda evaded arrest and was integrated into the Congolese army.
But fighters loyal to him defected from the army last year after DR Congo's President Joseph Kabila hinted that the Congolese authorities would put the general on trial.
His appearance at the US embassy suggests the Rwandan government forced him to hand himself in, says Mr Stearns.
"Or he was so afraid of what would happen if they arrested him (or Makenga got a hold of him) that he made a run for the embassy?" he asks.
Despite the ICC's efforts to punish rebel leaders and various peace initiatives spearheaded by foreign governments - and 19,000 UN troops on the ground, violence has continued in eastern DR Congo - a largely lawless area hit by ethnic conflict and a battle over its mineral resources.
Currently, Uganda is mediating between the government and the M23 to end the conflict that has left hundreds of thousands homeless since last year, while UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon has appointed former Irish president Mary Robinson as his special envoy to the region.
Her appointment on Monday followed the signing of an agreement last month by 11 African leaders - including Mr Kagame, Mr Kabila and Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni - to help end the conflict in eastern DR Congo and possibly set up a special African Union intervention brigade.
"I plan to work closely with the leaders of the region to ensure that the presence of combatants in their territories is addressed by their respective governments, in the context of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework [signed by the leaders]," Ms Robinson said.
"In this respect, I call on states of the region to work with the International Criminal Court," she added.
Some analysts believe that with diplomatic pressure on Rwanda growing, it could not give refuge to Gen Ntaganda, leaving him with no option but to surrender in the face of the setbacks his forces suffered in the latest fighting.
Mr Stearns doubts that the conflict will end anytime soon, saying the agreement, which calls for the Congolese state to be reformed and for neighbouring countries to stop meddling in its affairs, was "very vague".
"Robinson will have to put meat on its bones. However, if Kabila manages to strike a deal with Makenga's M23, then logic of the framework [agreement] could easily fray," he writes.
"Kabila thought it was necessary to sign up to a relatively intrusive deal in order to bring an end to the M23 threat."
With the M23 splitting and Gen Ntaganda surrendering, DR Congo's government may be feeling more buoyant, but there is no room for complacency in international efforts to achieve peace - there are enough battle-hardened men in the region to fill the vacuum left by Gen Ntaganda.
But do they make sense to you and where do the figures used come from?
Here, I've looked at claims by UKIP's David Coburn that some public officials are earning salaries of £100,000 plus.
251
Council staff earning £100,000+
27 - Earning more than £150,000
4 - Earning more than £200,000
Raising tax on the highest paid has had the strongest consensus of any policy put to a public opinion survey for BBC Scotland.
Questioning people about policies does not require them to prioritise policies, or balance the trade-offs between policies. For instance, how much could higher tax hit economic growth?
Another response to the high earner issue, raised by David Coburn, in the first of the TV debates, is whether too much is spent on high earning public officials.
The UKIP leader in Scotland, also an MEP, quoted figures suggesting Glasgow has 30 employees on salaries of more than £100,000.
That is the figure in a report by the Taxpayers Alliance, which compiles information from council publications.
Along with salaries, it includes both pay-offs and large one-off pension contributions along with salaries.
As these are one-offs, they can make a very significant difference to the figures.
The Taxpayers Alliance claimed last year that there were 251 such staff in Scottish councils, 27 on more than £150,000 and four earning more than £200,000.
Public sector high earners are harder to find elsewhere. Their pension entitlements are handled differently and less explicitly.
Those earning more than £150,000 include;
Out of 17,000 additional rate taxpayers in Scotland, by far the biggest group with (mostly) public funding appear to be doctors.
The Scottish Parliament Information Centre drew from the Survey of Personal Incomes in 2009-10 to calculate that 13% of Additional Rate Taxpayers were in health and social services - slightly more than in finance that year, and three times more than the oil and gas sector.
That may distort the picture for most people working in the public sector. In 2014, median pay in Scotland for full-time public sector workers (that is, the pay of the person with equal numbers paid more and paid less) was £30,800.
The issue for many of them is how much they have fallen behind in terms of real spending power, as pay rises have been tightly pegged, pension conditions have been cut back and bonus payments have been stopped.
Part-time workers are typically paid less, including catering and care workers. But full-time employment for the various arms of government in Scotland was comfortably ahead of the £24,900 median pay for private sector workers.
The draft report, apparently written for the UK government, was obtained by the Intercept website from US whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
It suggests that "life-saving intelligence data" could be missed.
Its release comes as the Investigatory Powers Bill goes through Parliament.
Extracts from the the document read: "The security service... can currently collect significantly more than it is able to exploit fully.
"This creates a real risk of intelligence failure from the service being unable to access potentially life-saving intelligence from data that it has already collected."
The report is marked classified and dated 12 February 2010.
It was allegedly prepared by British spy agency officials to brief the government's Cabinet Office and Treasury Department about the UK's surveillance capabilities.
Those capabilities are currently due to be updated via the controversial Investigatory Powers Bill, which is now at the report stage in Parliament.
It aims to give legal backing to the bulk collection of internet traffic, as well as requiring service providers to store browsing records for 12 months.
The government said these added powers were necessary in the fight against terrorism
A revised version was drawn up earlier this year after a raft of concerns about whether it had got the balance between privacy and security right.
The government needs the bill to go through before the end of year, when the current laws regulating surveillance expire.
Critics of the bill said the alleged leaked document showed mass surveillance was not the answer.
Open Rights Group communications director Pam Cowburn told the BBC: "We have been calling on the government to make the operational case for costly bulk surveillance programmes that allow the collection of vast amounts of data.
"As today's leaks show, there are genuine concerns that mass surveillance is making us less, not more, safe.
"If the Investigatory Powers Bill is passed, even more of our data will be collected, with internet service providers being forced to record our web browsing history and app use.
"Surveillance should be targeted towards people who are suspected of criminal activity, not the entire UK population."
GCHQ told the BBC: "It is long standing policy that we do not comment on intelligence matters.
"Furthermore, all of GCHQ's work is carried out in accordance with a strict legal and policy framework, which ensures that our activities are authorised, necessary and proportionate, and that there is rigorous oversight, including from the secretary of state, the interception and intelligence services commissioners and the Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee.
"All our operational processes rigorously support this position. "
The Home Office did not respond to requests for comment.
US space agency-led scientists flew small, instrumented, chase planes directly in the exhaust plume of a big jet to measure the sorts of gases and particles being thrown out.
The data suggests aircraft burning a mix of aviation kerosene and biofuel could reduce their climate impact.
This would come from a substantial reduction in the production of the sooty particles that make contrails.
"Those soot particles serve as nuclei for water vapour in the very cold atmosphere to condense on and for the artificial-looking linear contrails that we see when we look out the window," explained Richard Moore from Nasa's Langley Research Center.
"You’ll then see those lines spread and form cirrus clouds that weren't there before the plane flew through the airspace.
"We know these contrails and cirrus clouds have a warming effect on the Earth's climate, and it's currently thought the warming effect associated with those clouds is more significant than all of the carbon dioxide emitted by aviation since the first powered flights began," he told the Science In Action programme on the BBC World Service.
Dr Moore's team describes its research in this week's edition of the journal Nature.
It involved flying a DC-8 at cruising speed and altitude - to try to simulate real-world conditions.
Much of the data previously obtained in studies is the result of ground tests, where a jet has been locked down and its engines throttled up. But the team wanted to see what really happened at 30,000 - 36,000ft (9,000 - 11,000m), where the air temperatures and pressures are much lower.
The DC-8's engines were fed either Jet A fuel, one of the conventional kerosenes used by the world's airlines, or a 50-50 blend of Jet A and a fuel derived from the Camelina oilseed plant.
To be sure they were sampling only the exhaust plume from a particular engine, the chase planes - from Nasa, the German space agency (DLR), and the National Research Council of Canada - had to fly extremely close to the back of the DC-8, just 30-150m behind each engine and directly in the plume.
This called for military levels of skill and very good communication between the pilots.
"It's very exciting," recalled co-worker Bernadett Weinzierl from DLR and the University of Vienna.
"You have to imagine the plane in front is travelling at something like 200m/s and you are less than 100m behind. But in fact it's quite safe to go very close or indeed very far away. It is in between where it is very dangerous: there is an area where the wave vortex is so strong it would destroy the following plane."
What the team found was that the blended fuel, taking account of varying flying conditions, was producing 50% less black carbon by number and up to 70% by mass.
"We were testing in what we call the soot-rich regime," Prof Weinzierl said.
"Models tells us if you reduce the number concentration of black carbon then you will reduce the number concentration of ice crystals. So this could be a way to mitigate the climate impacts of aviation," she told BBC News.
The logical expectation might be that by increasing the proportion of biofuel in the blend, even bigger gains could be made. But Dr Moore cautioned that there were infrastructure and engineering reasons why such an approach would not be straightforward.
"Biofuels, because they're derived from a different feedstock, have very low concentrations of the chemical compounds common in petroleum-based jet fuels," he said.
"One of these is aromatic species which are ring-like carbon compounds. These have important impacts for compatibility with current aviation fuel systems, and some older planes rely on the properties of jet fuels to swell the seals in their fuel systems.
"You can imagine that if you changed the composition of the fuel drastically some of those older fuel systems are not going to behave as they were originally designed."
Nasa is currently developing an experimental plane in which it hopes to demonstrate, among its capabilities, low-noise supersonic flight powered by biofuel.

"I believe the current laws are the right regulation to have," said Jones.
"I had a good discussion with RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie on that area and I understand."
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek, Jones said he had been on "both sides of the fence" having twice worked for Premiership club Saracens.
He added: "I understand the relationship with the RFU. I understand, in terms of the RFU, what they want."
Jones was named as England's first foreign head coach on Friday and will start his role on 1 December.
The 55-year-old Australian has agreed a four-year deal to succeed Stuart Lancaster, who departed in the wake of England's early World Cup exit.
Jones reiterated he plans to speak to captain Chris Robshaw about his position.
"I'll sit down with Chris and have a chat with him," he said.
"I'll see where his head is at, see what he wants to do in the future, and talk about if he meets the right demands of what I want from the captain."
Asked about his reputation for being demanding and a disciplinarian, Jones said: "As you get older, you learn to understand people better.
"You understand what players need. Some players do need to be spoken to harshly whereas others need an arm around the shoulder. You learn to also understand that with your staff.
"Discipline is about understanding what you need to do to win. Every team that wins has discipline so if someone described me as that, I would take that as being fairly positive."

Eder Lopes, 28, scored for Portugal against France but was born in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau and grew up in a care home.
Many were surprised at his winning contribution - not least Portugal's coach Fernando Santos.
After the match he gave this back-handed compliment: "The ugly duckling went and scored. Now he's a beautiful swan."
Eder was not even meant to be playing in the game.
Had Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo not suffered a knee injury and been carried off on a stretcher in tears, Eder would probably have remained on the bench.
But in the 109th minute of the final, with a penalty shoot-out looming, he took the ball about 30 yards from goal, went past French defender Laurent Koscielny and hit a ferocious shot past goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
It was the only goal of the match.
This was not the first time his life had taken a surprising turn.
BBC Sport's Steve Crossman says Eder's story is "incredible", while sports site ESPN describes Eder's life as "rather unique and intriguing".
Eder was born in the former Portuguese colony of Guinea-Bissau but moved to Portugal as a toddler.
In an interview for his old club Swansea City he describes the journey.
"I moved to Portugal when I was two years old, so I don't remember living in Guinea-Bissau.
"My family moved to Lisbon so that we could live in better conditions and have a better way of life.
"My father was already living in Portugal, so I moved over with my mother."
But then, ESPN says his parents were unable to take care of him.
"I didn't really grow up with my family," he said.
At the age of eight, he moved away from his family to the Sunflower Care Home in Coimbra.
Eder was often in trouble there because of his love for football, says ESPN.
"I always played football in the streets with the other kids from my college," he recalls.
"Every day and everywhere, if we had a ball, we would just play football."
"Finally his talent was recognised," says ESPN, and he was allowed to attend a local academy.
He was brought into the Coimbra-based ADC Ademia academy, where his talent was nurtured before he made his senior debut for Portuguese fourth tier club FC Oliveira do Hospital, says Swansea city's site.
At 18, Eder signed his first contract at the Portuguese second division club Tourizense for a monthly salary of 400 euros ($440; £340).
This salary, ESPN adds, "he duly sent to his mother".
His worth rose until at one point, while playing for Portuguese premier league club Braga, he was given a contract with a release clause of 30m euros.
ESPN said he had a lifelong dream of playing in England but, says in February 2013 "disaster struck".
He was being eyed up by English premier league clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, but he tore his cruciate ligaments.
Braga, in the end let him go for "a much lower fee" to Swansea.
He failed to score at Swansea last season and in May he left for France, as ESPN put it "disappointed and heartbroken".
So scoring the winning goal in Euro 2016 may well have changed Eder's fate.
But, if Eder's prophetic Facebook post from 14 June, the day of Portugal's first match in the Euros, is anything to go by, then he is not surprised himself.
"Go ahead, underestimate me," it said.
The Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) move follows continuing concerns about the way police keep records.
The watchdog's inspectors will for the first time turn up at the headquarters of each force without notice.
Inspections are normally arranged several weeks in advance, apart from police cell visits which are conducted jointly with the Prisons Inspectorate.
In a letter to chief constables, Chief Inspector of Constabulary Sir Tom Winsor said: "In future, in relation to crime recording, HMIC will carry out unannounced inspections.
"These will not be confined to those forces in which crime recording was found in 2014 to be especially bad. Every force will be inspected.
"The intensity of each inspection and the aspects of crime recording inspected will be at HMIC's discretion. Forces will be told what is required when the inspectors arrive."
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said HMIC was "absolutely withering" in its assessment of the way police were recording crimes and that is why inspectors wanted to go back to forces on an unannounced basis and ensure they have got their practices right.
Last year, an HMIC report said a fifth of crimes reported to police in England and Wales could be going unrecorded by them.
It found that 14 alleged rapes were among the offences that had not been recorded by officers.
The inspection of 13 forces found one report of rape was not recorded because of "workload pressure".
Home Secretary Theresa May said the report exposed "unacceptable failings" by the police.
Andrew Vicari became known as "the king of painters and painter of kings" after being commissioned to paint heads of state and Arabic royalty.
He had a fortune of £92m and owned properties in Cannes and Monte Carlo.
Mr Vicari died at Swansea' Morriston Hospital on Monday after a period of ill health.
His nephew Andrew Vaccari said his death will "leave a huge hole in our world" but is also a time to "reflect on his incredible life".
The people he painted included actress Sophia Loren, former Chinese leader Mao Zedong, Russian president Vladimir Putin and Monaco's Prince Rainier.
In 2001, he sold his collection of 125 paintings of the First Gulf War to Saudi Arabia's Prince Khaled for £17m.
After being educated at Neath Grammar School, Mr Vicari became the youngest person to win a scholarship to London's Slade School of Fine Art, where he was taught by Lucian Freud.
"He has lived all over the world, including France, Monaco and Saudi Arabia, where he became the official painted to the Saudi royal family," his nephew said.
"He changed the entire course of art in the Middle East where he has left a real legacy. There are three museums dedicated to his work."
Mr Vaccari said his uncle was passionate about being Welsh and the place he came from despite all his travelling.
He added: "He had the most incredible life and we would want to celebrate that at some point in the future.
"He really was the most extraordinary individual I have ever known."
Whichever way the Court rules, its decision will have significant ramifications for the way in which capital punishment is carried out.
The Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution forbids "cruel and unusual punishments", and ever since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976, states have tried to use methods of execution that are as humane as possible.
For many years, states have relied on lethal injections because these are considered to cause less pain and suffering than other methods, such as hanging, electrocution and gassing.
In this case, though, three inmates in Oklahoma have argued that the current combination of drugs that are used in lethal injections in Oklahoma poses a risk of severe pain and suffering, contrary to the Eighth Amendment.
They have. In 2008, in Baze v Rees, the Court upheld the lawfulness of Kentucky's lethal injection procedure, which was substantially similar to the procedures used in other death penalty states.
Much has changed since 2008. At that time, states across the US used a combination of three drugs to put inmates to death.
The first was sodium thiopental, which acted as an anaesthetic. Once the inmate had lost consciousness, they would be injected with pancuronium bromide, which would paralyse the prisoner. The third drug to be administered was typically potassium chloride, which would stop the prisoner's heart and kill them.
Since 2010, though, states have found it increasingly difficult to acquire the drugs needed for lethal injections, particularly the first drug, sodium thiopental.
Pharmaceutical companies have stopped supplying drugs, on the basis that they do not want to be complicit in the taking of life.
State authorities have therefore acquired the drugs needed through back-channels and dubious avenues - in some cases, the drugs were sourced from the back offices of a driving school based in a west London suburb.
In Oklahoma, and in three other states (Florida, Ohio and Arizona), a three-drug cocktail is still used, but instead of sodium thiopental, a drug called midazolam is used. It's been argued that midazolam is ineffective as an anaesthetic, and that people therefore feel the pain that is caused by the other two drugs.
Four of the Justices on the US Supreme Court have expressed dismay with the lack of scientific evidence that has been offered by the state to defend its protocol.
On the other hand, the prisoners have raised the spectre of "botched" executions to provide evidence that the current protocol creates a risk of severe pain and suffering.
In 2014, three prisoners who were put to death with a cocktail involving midazolam appeared to regain consciousness before the lethal injection process was completed, and witnesses reported that the men involved were gasping for air, and writhing about in pain.
They have also pointed out that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has refused to classify midazolam as an anaesthetic because they are not convinced that it works as intended.
In the short term, it will mean that executions in the four states concerned will proceed as normal.
In the long term, though, and depending on the reasoning of the Court, it might mean that states across America are given carte blanche to experiment with various combinations of drugs, and the courts won't interfere with their processes.
Although death penalty abolitionists will hope that this will be another nail in the coffin of capital punishment, experience suggests otherwise.
States that have struggled to acquire the drugs needed for lethal injection have not given up on capital punishment, and have instead reintroduced other means of killing people.
In April, Oklahoma passed a law that would allow the use of nitrogen gas to kill inmates, in the event that lethal injections are no longer possible. In March, Utah introduced a law that permits the use of firing squads in the event that lethal injections are no longer possible.
At oral arguments, some of the Justices used language that indicated which way they were leaning.
Justice Sotomayor repeatedly referred to the idea that, without proper anaesthetic, death by lethal injection was equivalent to "burning someone alive". She seems to be of the view that such a method of execution is barbaric.
Justice Alito, on the other hand, suggested that the blame for faulty lethal injections lay at the door of death penalty abolitionists, since it was the anti-death penalty movement that persuaded pharmaceutical companies to stop trading in drugs.
According to Alito, abolitionists have waged "a guerrilla war against the death penalty, which consists of efforts to make it impossible for the states to obtain drugs that could be used to carry out capital punishment with little, if any, pain".
It's probably safe to predict that the four liberal Justices will vote against the current lethal injection protocol, and the four conservative Justices will vote to uphold the current procedure.
The outcome will likely depend on how Justice Kennedy will vote. Kennedy is usually classified as a conservative, but occasionally votes with the liberal bloc. We'll find out in June.
When the Court agreed to hear this case, there were actually four prisoners involved. However, one of these inmates - Charles Warner - was executed shortly after the Court agreed to hear the case because of a procedural oddity.
Procedurally, the Court will only hear a case if four of the nine Justices agree to hear it. However, the votes of five Justices are needed in order to stop an execution.
Although four Justices agreed to hear the case, this was not enough to stop Warner being put to death. It's arguable that Warner should have had his execution postponed while the Justices considered the issue.

Coach Warren Gatland omitted the 95-times capped tight-head from his 34-man squad to play Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa.
Gatland said the coaches had asked Jones to work on aspects of his game.
Jones, 33, tweeted: "Thank you for the overwhelming support. I did everything I was asked and more. Obviously gutted, but will keep trucking along."
Gatland added that the "door was not closed" on Jones returning to the squad.
"It's important that he continues to keep working on his game, and we've had that conversation with him," he said.
"What's become paramount in the game is the ability of front rows to become more mobile and to get around the park and we've had that conversation with Adam.
"He's working on it and continuing to work on it and we're still looking for more involvement from him around the pitch, potentially a greater anticipation."
Blues director of rugby Mark Hammett says the player is in "the best shape of his life" and felt he would be ready should Gatland recall him.
"While he may miss out on this early series, if he continues on the track he's on... if the call does come up he's going to be in a great position and I think 'Gats' is going to be really stoked with what he's got," Hammett said.
Jones joined the Blues from Ospreys in the summer after 11 seasons with the Swansea-based region.
It followed a difficult summer which saw the 2009 and 2013 British and Irish Lions player having to train on his own while negotiations over a new deal at Ospreys stalled.
Jones was substituted after 30 minutes of Wales' 38-16 defeat by South Africa in the first Test last June, and was not included in the match-day squad of 23 for the second Test, which saw Wales give a much improved display before losing 31-30.
His place went to Scarlets tight-head Samson Lee, who is again named in the squad for the autumn Tests.
Ross Torrance, 29, wore a balaclava when he robbed Bearsden Services but his stubble was seen poking out underneath by the forecourt worker.
He was also seen removing the balaclava in a nearby street by an off-duty police officer who identified him.
Torrance admitted the robbery and was jailed for four years and eight months.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that the police officer had heard a panic alarm sounding at the Duntocher Road garage and saw the man ran off.
The officer watched as he removed the balaclava in Castlehill Road and noticed he had red hair and a pale complexion. He identified the robber as Torrance, who lived nearby.
Two meat cleavers and a balaclava were found during a search at Torrance's home in Dryburgh Road.
The stolen money was not recovered.
Torrance admitted robbing the petrol station of a quantity of money and threatening 47-year-old Margaret Stowell with two meat cleavers on 8 December last year.
Prosecutor Bill McVicar told the court that Ms Stowell was about close at 22:00 when she was confronted by Torrance.
Mr McVicar said: "He said: "'Do what yer telt and you won't get hurt,' and placed a bag on the counter and said: 'Put yer money in it.'
"The complainer walked past him and made her way to the tills. She began to feel for the panic button and tried to stall the accused by informing him that it took a few minutes to get into the till.
"She then asked him if he was sure he wanted to do this as there was not a lot of money in the till as it had been a quiet day.
"The only facial feature she could see from under the balaclava was ginger stubble."
The court heard that after giving Torrance £170 from the till she told him that was all he was getting and activated the panic alarm.
When Torrance walked out the shop she phoned the police.
Another customer entered the shop and found Ms Stowell in a distressed state.
Torrance has previous convictions for assault and disorderly conduct and was jailed for 30 months in 2012 for an assault involving the use of a machete.
Defence counsel Ronnie Renucci said: "The story of Mr Torrance's life is one of drink and drugs.
"When he committed this offence he was under the influence of Valium and alcohol.
"He realises he was stupid. He lives close to the petrol station. He feels distressed and embarrassed by his behaviour. He is genuinely remorseful for what the complainer went through."
Judge Lord Boyd told Torrance: "Those who work in the retail sector must have the protection of the courts."
They say it is in protest at the university's failure to commit to divestment from fossil fuels.
They have occupied a floor of the university's administration building and say they will do so "indefinitely".
The university has said it will review its investment policy in the new year and that it has invited the students to take part.
Harvey William Davidson, 29, is accused of taking money from machines at Whinlatter and Grizedale. The charges relate to incidents between October 2013 and June 2014.
The £10,412 belonged to the Forestry Commission, Carlisle Crown Court heard.
Mr Davidson, of Portland Square, Workington, was released on bail and will stand trial in August.
That makes it $200 cheaper than Facebook's rival Oculus Rift and $400 less than HTC's Vive.
The PlayStation VR is seen as less advanced than its two rivals, but many experts think it will outsell them.
However, the disclosure that it will not be released until October means Sony will fail to meet its earlier target of the first half of 2016.
The Japanese company also revealed that it expects more than 50 games tailored to its headset will be available at its launch.
It made its announcement in San Francisco to coincide with the city's Games Developers Conference.
Retailers have confirmed that the UK price - which includes the VAT sales tax - will be £350.
Virtual reality involves a user's vision being filled with computer-generated images or 360-degree views of stitched-together videos, which move as they tilt and angle their head.
When done well, this results in the wearer feeling as if they are present within the environments they are looking at, delivering a more engaging experience than a TV or monitor.
The research firm IHS has forecast that about 53 million people will own a PlayStation 4 console - which is required to use the new PlayStation VR - by the end of this year.
It predicts 1.6 million people will buy Sony's headset before 2017 and that the biggest limit on sales will be the speed at which it can manufacture the device.
"When Oculus and HTC announced their relative headset pricing, Sony was offered an open goal opportunity to take an early lead in the consumer VR market, which it has taken with aplomb," said IHS analyst Piers Harding-Rolls.
"Sony's walled garden approach to the PS4 platform means it is well placed to provide a better controlled and consistent VR experience to consumers. This will be important in driving adoption and positive word of mouth."
By contrast, HTC and Oculus rely on gamers owning a relatively high-end Windows PC, which adds to their costs.
One consequence is that both the Vive and the Rift should be able to run games with more advanced graphics. They both also offer higher resolution displays and wider fields of view, which could make their games seem more immersive.
But the PlayStation VR provides a faster refresh rate - allowing it to display 120 frames per second, rather than the 90fps limit of its rivals - which should make its games seem smoother and less likely to cause motion sickness.
It is not known what Sony's profit margin will be on the device. But there has been speculation that it is willing to make a loss at launch in order to capture a bigger slice of the market.
"Next-generation consoles have historically been sold close to - if not below - cost and PlayStation VR is likely to be no different," commented Geoff Blaber from the consultancy CCS Insight.
"Sony has a big opportunity to build an early leadership position and extend its PS network to a new platform."
Reviewers suggest that the best VR games are designed with the format in mind, rather than just ports of existing titles.
Games designers are also still experimenting with how best to use virtual reality.
Bearing in mind most players will not invest in VR hardware for some time to come, if at all, that makes it a relatively high-risk venture.
"Games-makers need as big an install base as possible to get a viable return on their investment when they are developing for VR," commented Rob Crossley, UK editor at the news site Gamespot.
"Sony, HTC and Oculus will all want each others' devices to sell well to inspire those developers.
"They all need each other to succeed because this is uncharted territory - a concept that has yet to be proven on the market."

The 25-year-old German, who is based in Oklahoma, was competing at the IPC Athletics Grand Prix event in Arizona, which she won with a 4.65m jump.
She tweeted: "My running legs got stolen today. Please help me find/replace them!"
Low is scheduled to compete in this summer's Paralympics in Rio.
She jumped a world record 4.79 metres to claim gold at the 2015 World Championships in Doha.
It says the richest 10% of society in the 33 OECD countries received 9.5 times that of the poorest in terms of income, up from nine times in 2007.
Those with the biggest gaps included the US, Turkey, Mexico and Chile.
The OECD says that if governments do not stop cutting back on welfare support this gap will grow wider.
The Paris-based group is generally in favour of free-market policies, but has recently become more vocal in support of more generous social provision to soften the impact of the economic downturn of the past few years.
Many countries, particularly within the eurozone, have been cutting back hard on welfare spending in an attempt to reduce debt and balance government books as tax revenues fall because of weak growth.
In some cases, this is a condition of international support from the likes of the International Monetary Fund.
The OECD's secretary general, Angel Gurria, said: "These worrying findings underline the need to protect the most vulnerable in society, especially as governments pursue the necessary task of bringing public spending under control."
Countries where the gap was least pronounced were mainly in the north of Europe, with Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Slovenia the most egalitarian societies.
Resuming on 298-8, Gareth Berg finished on 72 and Ryan McLaren made 52 as Hampshire were bowled out for 326,
Despite Brendan Taylor's 90, Notts went from 127-2 to 185 all out, Edwards (4-57) ending on match figures of 10-145.
Needing 200 to win, Hampshire closed on 89-0 with Michael Carberry unbeaten on 37 and Jimmy Adams 46 not out.
There is plenty on the line at Trent Bridge going into the final day. Hampshire could secure safety with a victory but only if Yorkshire beat Sussex, who would be relegated instead.
Meanwhile, with Middlesex losing inside three days to Worcestershire, Notts know victory for them would secure second place in Division One, although Hampshire remain firm favourites after dominating day three.
Hampshire began day three on 298-8 and Harry Gurney (4-70) eventually broke Berg and McLaren's 123-run ninth-wicket partnership, getting the latter to play-on to a fuller ball.
An over later, Stuart Broad (2-73) had Berg caught down the leg-side by Chris Read - his fifth catch of the innings.
Taylor was the mainstay of the Nottinghamshire's second innings and passed 1,000 first-class runs in the process.
But Edwards tore the heart out of the Notts middle-order and apart from Taylor, only Steven Mullaney (19), Samit Patel (25) and Billy Root (15) reached double figures.
McLaren took 2-22, while Berg (2-28) also impressed with a couple of great deliveries to get rid of Samit Patel and first-innings centurion Riki Wessels.
Carberry and Adams then then went after the Notts bowling, with England bowler Broad going at more than eight an over.
The opening pair took Hampshire safely to the close, needing another 111 runs to win to stand a chance of Division One survival.
The 23-year-old has featured in the starting line-up in recent weeks as manager Neil Lennon rotated his squad.
Forster was captain against Ayr United last weekend and wants to make up for sitting out the Hampden triumph.
"The chance to get the cup on Saturday is, personally and for the team, a massive achievement," Forster said.
"Missing out on the Scottish Cup, the boys becoming legends and heroes. Although I was delighted for them, it really was hard to take.
"The season has been all right for me, [but] I would like to have played a bit more."
Hibs face St Mirren at Easter Road on Saturday and they will be awarded the league trophy after the game.
Despite the occasion, and the opportunity to celebrate with the Hibs fans, Forster does not believe the players will take the game lightly.
The visitors need to take one point from the game to ensure their own survival in the Championship.
"Every professional would want to win a game [when they will] be presented with a trophy, rather than lose that game," Forster said.
"St Mirren will have to come out fighting. They have been really good lately, but they must have been really poor at the start of the season. The league form doesn't lie.
"They will need to really try and play against us - good luck to them, but we'll be ready."
Hibs coach Grant Murray also insists the title-winners will not let their performance levels drop against St Mirren, even though there is nothing left to play for this season but pride.
"It's an opportunity for the players to show their appreciation to the fans," Murray said.
"The players want to win. There can be implications for St Mirren, and they'll be coming all out to win, but as a football player you've got that wining mentality. The manager will want to put a winning team out.
"I thought it was strange [Neil Lennon] wasn't nominated [for manager of the year], but it's just one of those things."
The pipe burst just after 12:30 GMT on Sunday in Stoke Newington High Street. Emergency services are at the scene.
More than 150 properties have been affected as knee-high water flooded the Northwold Road junction.
This is the third burst water pipe to cause flooding problems in the capital in a week.
Eyewitnesses said the water main had been leaking on to Stoke Newington High Street since Monday.
Gonen Ozer, who manages two businesses on Stoke Newington High Street told the BBC he was considering legal action against Thames Water due to loss of business.
"To leave a burst water pipe unattended for over a week is extremely unprofessional and careless."
Thames Water said the flooding was caused when a 30-inch water pipe burst.
Thames Water director Bob Collington said: "It has been an extremely difficult week, and I do understand just how devastating it must be for those customers who have suffered flooding so close to Christmas.
"We are doing everything we can to help them and will make sure they are not left out of pocket for what has happened."
Crews are attempting to divert water away from homes and businesses.
The Metropolitan Police has closed roads in the area and advised pedestrians and motorists seek alternative routes.
The burst follows a severe flood causing millions of pounds of damage in Islington last week.
Separately, another burst water main led to flooding in Blackheath on Saturday.
Six fire engines, two fire rescue units and over 40 firefighters dealt with a 12-inch burst water main on Lee High Road.
Thames Water said Saturday's flood in Blackheath was caused by a contractor.
A wide range of space agencies and intergovernmental organisations has taken a bite out of this issue down the years.
The opinion expressed is always the same: the problem is inescapable and it's getting worse. It's also true the tone of concern is being ratcheted up.
There is now a wild jungle of debris overhead - everything from old rocket stages that continue to loop around the Earth decades after they were launched, to the flecks of paint that have lifted off once shiny space vehicles and floated off into the distance.
It is the legacy of more than half a century of space activity. Today, it is said there are more than 22,000 pieces of debris actively being tracked.
These are just the big, easy-to-see items, however. Moving around unseen are an estimated 500,000 particles ranging in size between 1-10cm across, and perhaps tens of millions of other particles smaller than 1cm.
All of this stuff is travelling at several kilometres per second - sufficient velocity for even the smallest fragment to become a damaging projectile if it strikes an operational space mission.
Gravity ensures that everything that goes up will eventually come back down, but the bath is currently being filled faster than the plug hole and the overflow pipe can empty it.
Man and nature are also conspiring in unexpected ways to make the situation worse. The extra CO2 pumped into the atmosphere down the years has cooled some of its highest reaches - the thermosphere.
This, combined with low levels of solar activity, have shrunk the atmosphere, limiting the amount of drag on orbital objects that ordinarily helps to pull debris from the sky. In other words, the junk is also staying up longer.
Leaving aside the growth in debris from collisions for a moment, the number of satellites being sent into space is also increasing rapidly.
The satellite industry launched an average of 76 satellites per year over the past 10 years. In the coming decade, this activity is expected to grow by 50%.
The most recent Euroconsult analysis suggested some 1,145 satellites would be built for launch between 2011 and 2020.
A good part of this will be the deployment of communications constellations - broadband relays and sat phone systems.
These constellations, in the case of the second-generation Iridium network, can number more than 60 spacecraft.
By and large, everyone operating in orbit now follows international mitigation guidelines. Or tries to.
These include ensuring there is enough propellant at the end of a satellite's life so that it can be pushed into a graveyard orbit and the venting of fuel tanks on spent rocket stages so that they cannot explode (a major source of the debris now up there).
Space debris 'at tipping point'
Near miss for space station crew
Tiny cube will tackle space junk
Earth-orbit housekeeper proposed
The goal is to make sure all low-orbiting material is removed within 25 years of launch.
I say "by and large" because there has been some crass behaviour in the recent past. What the Chinese were thinking when they deliberately destroyed one of their polar orbiting satellites in 2007 with a missile is anyone's guess. It certainly defied all logic for a nation that professes to have major ambitions in space.
The destruction created more than 3,000 trackable objects and an estimated 150,000 debris particles larger than 1cm.
It was without question the biggest single debris-generating event in the space age. It was estimated to have increased the known existing orbital debris population at that time by more than 15%.
A couple of years later, of course, we saw the accidental collision of the Cosmos 2251 and Iridium 33 satellites. Taken together, the two events essentially negated all the mitigation gains that had been made over the previous 20 years to reduce junk production from spent rocket explosions.
There are lots of ideas out there to clean up space. Many of them, I have to say, look far-fetched and utterly impractical.
Ideas such as deploying large nets to catch debris or firing harpoons into old satellites to drag them back to Earth are non-starters. If nothing else, some of these devices risk creating more debris than they would remove.
It has been calculated that just taking away a few key spent rocket stages or broken satellites would substantially reduce the potential for collision and cap the growth in space debris over coming decades. And in the next few years we're likely to see a number of robotic spacecraft demonstrate the rendezvous and capture technologies that would be needed in these selective culls.
The German space agency, for example, is working on such a mission called DEOS that is likely to fly in 2015.
These approaches are quite complex, however, and therefore expensive. Reliable low-tech solutions will also be needed.
There is a lot of research currently going into deployable sails. These large-area structures would be carried by satellites and rocket stages and unfurled at the end of their missions. The sails would increase the drag on the spacecraft, pulling them out of the sky faster. Somehow attaching these sails to objects already in space is one solution that is sure to be tried.
"There are a number of technologies being talked about to address the debris issue - both from past space activity and from future missions," says Dr Hugh Lewis, a lecturer in aerospace engineering at Southampton University, UK.
"I think we are a long way off from having something which is reliable, relatively risk-free and relatively low cost.
"There are number of outstanding and fundamental issues that we still have to resolve. Which are the objects we have to target and how many do we remove? Who's going to pay?
"It is also worth remembering there are a lot of uncertainties in our future predictions. Reports that you read typically present average results; we tend to do ensembles in our simulations and some outcomes are worse than others. So, many issues still need to be addressed, but that dialogue is taking place.
"This report paints quite an alarming picture but I think we can be a bit more upbeat, certainly if we are contemplating removing objects.
"Fortunately, space is big and collisions are still very rare. After all, we've only had four known collisions and only one involving two intact objects. It's still not a catastrophic situation, and we need to be careful about using phrases like 'tipping point' and 'exponential growth'."
The legislation came into force in 2012 after the SNP used its then-majority to pass it, but a majority of MSPs now back a repeal of the law.
Labour MSP James Kelly has tabled a member's bill aimed at repeal, which is being studied by the justice committee.
More than 200 submissions from people and organisations were sent in.
Football fans' organisations and legal groups including the Law Society of Scotland raised concerns about the legislation in the consultation, while others spoke out against repeal.
The Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act was voted through in 2011, without any support from opposition parties. It aims to tackle sectarian behaviour around football matches and online, but opponents argue it is unnecessary in light of existing laws and unfairly targets football fans.
In November 2016, the Conservatives, Labour, the Greens and the Lib Dems - who all campaigned that year on Holyrood manifestos pledging opposition to the Act - united to urge the government to repeal.
Ministers argue that opposition groups have not put forward viable alternatives, and insist that repealing the bill would send the wrong message about the importance of tackling sectarianism.
More than 200 submissions from individuals and organisations were received by the justice committee, of which more than three quarters were in favour of repeal.
The Law Society of Scotland said it had "commended the intent of the bill to address the serious issues" involved, but said they "continue to be concerned about aspects of the Act".
They said that offensive behaviour covered by the Act "is likely to be caught by the substantive criminal law" already in existence, and said all 287 charges brought under Section One of the legislation in 2015-16 "could have been prosecuted under pre-existing legislation". On this basis, they said the legislation "has not been fundamental to tackling sectarianism".
The submission also said that repeal would not "leave a gap in the criminal law", and said the Act may in fact "have caused some confusion with particular reference to what type of behaviour is now considered offensive and unacceptable" - something that could lead to cases in the appeal courts seeking clarification.
Supporters Direct Scotland, recognised as the lead football fans' group by the game's managing bodies in Scotland, formally agreed with the proposal to repeal the bill, citing their own surveys of supporters - the majority of which backed repeal.
Their submission said there were "sufficient provisions within criminal law to prosecute offensive behaviour related to football" without the Act, arguing that it "targets and singles out football supporters".
The Glasgow Bar Association, meanwhile, argued that the legislation was poorly written, saying the definition of offensive behaviour was "unclear and broad", which had led to difficulties in implementation for the police and lawyers.
And civil liberties organisation Liberty said the Act "poses a threat to human rights", saying the provisions set out "extend the reach of the criminal law too far into the realm of free expression without offering meaningful additional protection".
However, others wrote in support of the legislation, or at least to oppose repealing it.
Victim Support Scotland agreed that "laws should be rational and enforceable", but they said there should be no repeal of the Act "unless there is a viable alternative to support victims of threatening communication and religious prejudice".
They said repeal of Section Six in particular - the section dealing with threatening communications - would "leave an unacceptable gap in Scottish legislative protection for victims of religious prejudice".
Glasgow Caledonian University law lecturer Andrew Tickell wrote in his submission that while he retained "significant concerns" about the legislation, with a review of hate crime legislation ongoing, proposals to repeal it would be "to take a sledgehammer to a task designed for the scalpel".
The Church of Scotland said it would be "wise to await the recommendations" of the review, led by Lord Bracadale. They also voiced concern that "repealing the Act without replacement would be a symbol that our elected representatives do not think that behaving offensively or sending threatening communications is problematic".
They added: "At a time of rising levels of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, and where sectarianism remains a reality of life in Scotland, the wider implications for repeal should be taken into account."
And the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities said that repeal "would send exactly the wrong message", calling instead for the legislation to be extended, so that it relates to more areas than just football.

The jobs on offer were among the most sought after due to attractive salary and employment terms. That was the norm, until this year.
Some of India's most coveted universities have now blacklisted a number of start-ups from recruiting on campus. The BBC's Sameer Hashmi went to find out why.
At a news conference, team members played an audio recording of the person allegedly offering various incentives.
Canada must beat El Salvador in Vancouver and hope Mexico defeat Honduras in the final round of Group A games to stand a chance of progressing.
El Salvador cannot progress to the final round of qualifying.
"It's the most dramatic thing in football I've seen for some time now," investigative journalist Declan Hill told the BBC World Service.
The most they would have got for allegedly fixing the match would have been about $3,000 per player
"The entire team came in with their coaches and said they had been approached on Saturday. They played an 11-minute conversation with the attempted match-fixer.
"He was offering each player a variety of money per minute depending on the result they could get. The most they would have got for allegedly fixing the match would have been about $3,000 per player."
Hill said the offer was allegedly made by an El Salvadorian who knew some of the players, but who wanted to aid the Honduras national team.
The BBC has approached the Honduras football association for comment.
Canada, El Salvador, Honduras and Mexico are members of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf).
Three Concacaf nations will qualify for the 2018 World Cup automatically, with a fourth entering a play-off against a team from the Asian Football Confederation.

The Competition and Markets Authority said a merger of the UK's second and third largest bookmakers may restrict competition on the High Street.
About 350 to 400 shops may have to be sold "for the merger to be conditionally cleared", the CMA said.
The CMA has given until 13 June for responses to its provisional findings.
Ladbrokes operates 2,154 betting shops in Great Britain and 77 in Northern Ireland, while Gala Coral operates about 1,850 betting shops in Great Britain.
The combined group would make it bigger than current market leader William Hill.
Martin Cave, who is chairing the CMA's inquiry, said: "We've provisionally found that the merger between two of the largest bookmakers in the country may be expected to reduce competition and choice for customers in a large number of local areas.
"Although online betting has grown substantially in recent years, the evidence we've seen confirms that a large number of customers still choose to bet in shops - and many would continue to do so after the merger.
"For these customers, competition comes from the choice of shops in their local area and it's they who could lose out from any reduction of competition and choice."
The CMA said it was aiming to publish its final report by the end of July.
Ladbrokes said: "This is a significant step and our focus now will be on agreeing the shop disposals to satisfy the CMA." Ladbrokes shares had jumped 6.5% by the close of trade on Friday.
Gala Coral said it noted that the CMA was "provisionally minded to clear the proposed merger" and that it would continue to work with the regulator on ways to achieve final clearance.
The face of Britain's betting shops has transformed in the last 20 years - from smoky boltholes with horse racing dominating proceedings to shiny multi-screen sport outlets where fixed-odds betting terminals are a big earner.
While critics say the casino-style machines have encouraged problem gamblers, the bookies insist staff are trained to look out for issues.
The bottom line is the rise of the machines has helped keep many of these shops open in a modern-day wagering world where online gambling has mushroomed.
And while some shops look destined to be casualties, this proposed £2.3bn merger shows there is plenty of money still to be made in the British betting industry.
Analysts say the merged company will still have a dominant position even if many shops have to be sold.
"We expect substantial cost saving will be possible because there will be vast areas of overlap and unnecessary duplication of functions across the combined business," said Steve Clayton, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown.
Ladbrokes agreed the terms of a £2.3bn all-share merger with Coral in July, and the company's shareholders backed the deal in November.
Gala Coral has been owned by a group of private equity firms, including Apollo Global Management, Cerberus Capital Management, Anchorage Capital Partners and Park Square Capital, since 2010, when it collapsed under £2.5bn of debt.
Under the terms of the deal, those private equity owners will own 48.25% of the new company's shares, with the remainder being held by Ladbrokes shareholders.
Ann Clwyd told the Commons it had led to innocent MPs being smeared as crooks.
The Cynon Valley MP also complained of stories being leaked to the press.
MPs have been airing their frustrations about their new expenses scheme set up in the wake of last year's scandal.
Their debate comes as the body set up in the wake of the expenses scandal, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), has published 22,000 MPs' expenses claims paying out £3.1m.
The new rules for expenses mean, for example, MPs cannot claim mortgage interest, just rent, and can only travel first class in limited circumstances.
There is still anger among MPs about how they have been portrayed.
Mrs Clwyd told the House of Commons: "During my election campaign somebody came up to me and shouted thief, and if I had been a man I would have run after him and punched him in the face because I feel so strongly.
"I am not a thief, I have never been a thief and I object on behalf of other members of this house that they should be considered to be thieves in some way because the vast majority of people in this place are nothing of the sort."
She went on to suggest that "anti-MP" stories were being leaked by people at Ipsa.
She said that every time there was a debate on the expenses system, a story would appear in the press the day before.
Ipsa has taken exception to her comments and accused MPs, and Mrs Clwyd in particular, of trying to undermine the professional integrity of its staff.
Mr Dalli left his job as EU health commissioner in 2012, accused of improper links to tobacco lobbyists.
The European Court of Justice has ruled that he resigned voluntarily. He had argued that ex-Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso had asked him to resign.
Mr Barroso said Mr Dalli had put the Commission's integrity at risk.
A statement from the court said that, when Mr Barroso met Mr Dalli on 16 October 2012, Mr Barroso "decided... that Mr Dalli should leave the Commission".
Despite Mr Barroso's decision, he did not utter a "clearly formulated" request for his resignation, according to the Luxembourg judges.
"Since the existence of that request... has not been established, the Court dismisses the action as inadmissible. The court also rejects Mr Dalli's claim for compensation," the ECJ statement said.
EU anti-fraud agency Olaf had earlier delivered a report asserting that Mr Dalli had held unauthorised secret meetings with tobacco industry representatives.
According to Olaf, a Maltese entrepreneur had sought a "considerable" payment from a Swedish producer of oral tobacco, called snus, after which Mr Dalli would lift an EU ban on the product.
Sweden has an exemption from the ban, but it cannot export snus to other EU countries.
Mr Dalli denied any knowledge of such an approach by the entrepreneur.
If the ECJ had supported his allegation of unfair dismissal he could have been entitled to compensation for loss of earnings.
Charity Meningitis Now is creating a Futures Garden inspired by the bravery of families affected by the disease.
Liam Doyle, Jacob Gray, Louise Greer and Lauren Booth have had full body scans so that life-size sculptures can be made from laminated cedar wood.
The charity, which is celebrating its 30th year, said the garden championed survivors' courage and determination.
The group of four visited a studio in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, where they were scanned into computer-aided designs (Cad).
Updates on this and more from Birmingham and Black Country.
Lauren Booth, 14, from Wiltshire, was just six weeks old when she contracted meningitis. The disease left her with brain damage, hearing loss in one ear and cerebral palsy.
When she was four, Meningitis Now bought her a special trike and in November she clinched a new British Para Cycling record.
Her mother, Lisa-Jayne, said she had come "such a long way".
Louise Greer, 18, from Hartpury, Gloucestershire, visits schools to raise awareness and also fundraises for the charity.
She was diagnosed with meningitis when she was two-and-a-half after collapsing at home. Doctors had to amputate both legs through the knee, part of her left arm and parts of her fingers.
Liam, five, from Earlswood, Solihull, caught bacterial meningitis in July 2010 at just seven weeks old and went on to contract it twice more.
The son of ex-Birmingham City goalkeeper Colin Doyle now suffers deafness, epilepsy and ataxia.
Jacob Gray, 22, from Poulton Le Fylde, Lancashire, caught meningitis in January 2013 and spent more than a year in hospital - opting to have his legs amputated in February 2014.
"I've recently taken my first wobbly steps on my prosthetic legs and my girlfriend, Summer, said 'yes' when I asked her to marry me last month, so life is looking good at last," he said.
Manufacturers' average confidence score dropped to 5.24 after the referendum from 6.37 before the vote, the report from EEF, a manufacturing lobby group, and accountancy firm BDO showed.
The biggest fall in confidence was in London and the South East.
But the region remained the most confident, with a score of 5.7 out of 10.
The least confident regions were the East Midlands and and North West, which both had a score of 5.0, the report said.
"The Brexit vote has put the manufacturing sector's recovery in jeopardy," said Lee Hopley, chief economist at EEF. "The growth path is now uncertain in all regions."
The report said that 25% of companies in the North West had yet to find any business opportunities from Brexit, while 59% were concerned about weaker demand prospects.
Manufacturers in Yorkshire and Humber were the most optimistic about opportunities that the UK's exit from the EU may present.
A quarter of respondents in the region were positive about lower regulatory burden and increased demand, the report said.
Hong Kong's Yee, 25, ended Reanne Evans' 10-year reign as world champion with a shock 4-2 semi-final win in 2015, before triumphing in the final.
Yee follows Evans - who lost to Ken Doherty last year - in competing in qualifying with the men.
"Playing at the very top level is a dream come true for me. I am excited to see new doors being opened," said Yee.
"After such a good year of results in 2015, I want to build on that and try to become even stronger in 2016.
"This added opportunity to compete with and learn from some of the best players in the world is a chance I am very grateful for."
She will need to win three qualifying matches to become the first woman to reach the televised stages at the Crucible Theatre.
The qualifiers for the 2016 World Championship will run from 6 to 13 April at Ponds Forge International Centre in Sheffield.
Keele Students Union Council chairman Tom Snape said up to 100 students had contacted it about problems so far.
Labour candidate Paul Farrelly told the Independent he was going to report the borough council to the Electoral Commission over the "shambles".
Newcastle-Under-Lyme Borough Council said it would investigate the reports.
West Midlands election results and live coverage
Student Lucy Walker said she registered to vote last month but was among a "ridiculous number of students" who had been unable to vote.
She said she was told her "name was not on the list" at polling stations at Keele Village Hall and the students union.
Biomedical sciences undergraduate Andrew Niblett, 18, said in his group of five friends who applied to vote in the area just one had been correctly registered.
The electoral office told him it was because he did not provide ID when prompted online, he said.
"But the thing is I was never prompted to provide ID and also one of my friends, who was prompted, provided ID and it got verified and they still got turned away."
Mr Farrelly, who served as the constituency's MP for 16 years, said the "chaos" was "denying people votes on a scale unprecedented in my 30 years fighting and organising elections".
A council spokesman said: "Where people haven't completed the online process, it's unfortunate, but if they haven't completed the process they can't be registered to vote."
He added those affected by out-of-date electoral lists had been able to vote after polling staff verified they were on the register.

It is the biggest bank to plead guilty to criminal charges in the US in more than 20 years.
US attorney general Eric Holder said the bank helped US "tax cheats dodge US taxes".
Credit Suisse said in a statement it deeply regretted the past misconduct.
The bank said the settlement would reduce its second-quarter net profit by 1.6bn Swiss Francs ($1.8bn; £1bn).
The $2.6bn payment is the highest in a US criminal tax investigation to date, according to US authorities.
However, as part of the agreement with US regulators, the bank will not lose its banking licence in the US.
The bank does not expect its UK and Swiss banking licences to be affected.
Credit Suisse chief executive Brady Dougan said: "Having this matter fully resolved is an important step forward for us.
"We have seen no material impact on our business resulting from the heightened public attention on this issue in the past several weeks."
By Michelle FleuryBBC business correspondent, Washington, DC
The outcome is considered a victory for the US Justice Department which has been trying to clamp down for some time now on banks that have aided rich Americans in evading paying taxes here in the US.
UBS had been fined in the past but nowhere near as much as Credit Suisse.
Questions have been asked, ever since the end of the financial crisis, about why banks have not faced harsher penalties as a result of the calamity and catastrophe that many feel they were responsible for.
Earlier in May , perhaps as an indication of the thinking of US authorities, US attorney general Eric Holder said there's no such thing as a bank that's too big to jail.
Mr Holder told a press conference: "The bank went to elaborate lengths to shield itself, its employees, and the tax cheats it served, from accountability for their criminal actions."
"They subverted disclosure requirements, destroyed bank records, and concealed transactions involving undeclared accounts by limiting withdrawal amounts and using offshore credit and debit cards to repatriate funds."
He added that the tax evasion schemes went back decades, saying that in one case, the practice of using sham entities began more than 100 years ago.
The US Department of Justice said Credit Suisse "operated an illegal cross-border banking business" that helped thousands of US customers conceal offshore assets and income from US tax authorities.
However, according to US media reports, neither Credit Suisse chairman Urs Rohner nor chief executive Brady Dougan are expected to lose their jobs as a result of the agreement.
Mr Dougan told investors on Tuesday he had not encountered pressure to step down.
"My focus has been on resolving the issue and taking the business forward, so no, that's never been a consideration," he said. "We're working very very hard to fix this business."
Credit Suisse will meet most of the cost of the fine by selling some of its risky assets, the bank's chief financial officer David Mathers said.
Since 2011 US authorities have indicted eight Credit Suisse employees who helped clients evade taxes.
Credit Suisse is not alone. US prosecutors are chasing more than a dozen other Swiss banks for allegedly helping wealthy Americans dodge US taxes, and at the press conference, they hinted that there would be more settlements to come.
In 2009, another Swiss bank, UBS, settled similar charges with US regulators for $780m as well as an agreement in which the bank would give US authorities the names of its so-called "secret" account holders.
The Briton struggled with swelling on his left eye midway through the bout as he lost the IBF world welterweight title to the American in Sheffield.
Brook, 31, had surgery after breaking his right eye socket in a loss to Gennady Golovkin in September.
"It's the same injury he sustained in the Golovkin fight but in the opposite eye," Ingle told BBC Radio 5 live.
Brook was knocked down by 27-year-old Spence in the 10th round and then stopped in the 11th, with his eye heavily swollen.
"It's disappointing for Kell to find himself in the same place again - in his comeback fight, but with the same damage," Ingle added.
"It is very unusual for it to happen again. He doesn't want to have to go through the same procedure of any operation again. It took a long time out and held him back from his training."
Brook said on Sunday that he knew from the seventh round that he had damaged the eye, adding that he struggled with blurred vision for the rest of the fight.
"I had a CT scan on my eye and the eye is broken again, same as the Golovkin one," Brook told Sky Sports.
"I remember the surgeon saying to me after the Golovkin fight, 'if you would have gone another round or so you could be blind' - so I've got that going through my mind as well."
The stake in the French luxury group will give Peta the right to attend shareholder meetings and question the board in front of other shareholders.
Peta has not said how many shares it has bought.
Such a move is common among pressure groups.
The move by Peta - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - follows its investigation into the way that crocodile skin, which is often used for luxury goods, is harvested.
Peta said: "In the wake of an exposé revealing that reptiles on crocodile farms in Vietnam - including two that have supplied skins to a tannery owned by Louis Vuitton's parent company, LVMH - are confined to tiny pits and sometimes hacked into while they're still alive and thrashing, Peta has become a shareholder of LVMH on the Euronext Paris to put pressure on the company to stop selling exotic skins merchandise."
Commenting when Peta's video was released last month, LVMH's director of environment, Sylvie Bernard, said that its tannery, Heng Long, had not bought crocodile skins from any Vietnamese farms since 2014.
"We have no knowledge of a partner that would practice the method you referred to ... any cruel method involving the suffering of the animal is in clear contradiction with our principles and rules," she said.
LVMH is the world's biggest luxury group. Its brands include Louis Vuitton handbags, several Champagne brands, Hennessy cognac and fashion labels Fendi and Marc Jacobs.
The company also sells perfumes, cosmetics, watches and jewellery.
Herefordshire Badger Group said it fears a cull to try to reduce the spread of tuberculosis (TB) in cattle maybe introduced next year.
The group said it would not solve the problem and described the idea as the "inhumane slaughter" of a protected species.
Culls have already been carried out in Dorset, Gloucestershire and Somerset.
It is yet to be decided by the government whether or not a cull will take place in the county.
Ministers and the National Farmers' Union (NFU) said killing badgers will curb tuberculosis (TB) in cattle, but protesters have insisted it had little effect.
Analysis of the 2013 pilots, commissioned by Defra and by an independent panel of experts, found shooting badgers was not effective.
Official figures showed it cost more than £3,300 for each badger that was killed during subsequent culls in 2014.
Campaigners started the march around the town at about 13:00 GMT, followed by speakers and discussion at Castle Green.
Nigel Tolly, from West Midlands Badger Group which is part of the protest, said they wanted to recruit people to take part in a lawful, peaceful protest during a cull if it was rolled out to Hereford.
"The idea of the event is to bring public awareness of the fact that a badger cull could be rolled out into Hereford next year," he said.
Carney, 30, had been linked with a move to St George Illawarra this summer despite having two years to run on his existing deal.
Taylor, 28, has already been offered a short-term deal at Canberra Raiders, following his Dragons exit.
Coaches Fred Marcerou, Benoit Albert and Sebastian Raguin are also leaving.
Marcerou was strength and conditioning coach along with Benoit Albert, while Raguin was football manager.
Catalans have also formally confirmed the release of Morgan Escare, who has already joined Wigan Warriors.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue chief Dave Etheridge said the Didcot site "reminds me of Chernobyl, the sheer extent of what we're dealing with".
One person is known to have died in the collapse on Tuesday.
But Mr Etheridge said it was "highly unlikely" three missing people would be found alive.
Live updates on the Didcot collapse
The families of the three missing men visited the site on Wednesday.
Mr Etheridge told BBC Radio Oxford: "I hope that they felt that was a way of understanding the enormity of the challenge that we are facing, but we won't step back from that challenge.
"I have been in the fire service for 30 years and undoubtedly the incident we are facing at the moment is the most technically challenging incident I have ever come across."
He said the area being searched was 55m (180ft) long, 30m (98ft) wide and 25m (82ft) high, and "unstable".
Heavy engineering cranes and lifting equipment are needed and would arrive at the site on Thursday, said Oxfordshire County Council.
Thermal imaging cameras, drones with audio sensing equipment, sniffer dogs and military remote-controlled vehicles are already being used in the search.
The mayor of Didcot, Des Healy, said a book of condolence was to be set up at the town's Civic Hall.
He said: "We've got to keep the families at the forefront and so I'm glad they were brought down last night and able to see it first hand."
The demolition of the decommissioned Didcot A power plant was being carried out by Coleman and Company.
Oxfordshire's coal-fired Didcot A Power Station was turned off in 2013, after 43 years in service.
The station included six cooling towers, measuring 375ft (114m) in height, which dominated the skyline of the town.
Hundreds of people gathered to watch when three of the towers were demolished in the early hours of 27 July 2014.
RWE Npower expects complete deconstruction of the site by the end of this year.
A gas-burning power station - known as Didcot B - opened in 1997 on the site and continues to operate.
A major fire was declared at Didcot B in October 2014, with 20 fire crews sent to tackle the blaze, which was caused by an electrical fault.
The Swans failed to win a match in September and crashed out of the Capital One Cup away at Hull City after an unbeaten first month of the season.
Ahead of Sunday's Premier League game against Tottenham at the Liberty Stadium Monk admits he has "difficult decisions" to make.
"There are players that are itching to play," he said.
"I have a fully fit squad and I will always try and make the best of it when I'm picking a team.
"Everyone's positions will be under threat, that's why you have competition in the squad.
"The players know that if you don't perform your shirt is available. You have to fight every single day for that shirt."
After beating Manchester United and Newcastle and drawing with Chelsea in August, Swansea have picked up just one point from their last four Premier League games, and scored just one goal.
It is a run of results that has seen them drop to 11th in the table.
Though coy about which players were in line for inclusion, Monk believes an improvement is essential after the 3-1 defeat against Southampton.
"I think we all have taken a little bit of criticism in these recent performances, Southampton and Watford, and quite rightly so.
"We take that responsibility. We didn't perform as a team, not one player performed at that level and I accept responsibility for that as well.
"It's never a lack of commitment or effort. It's just about making sure we get back to a consistent level which was our biggest strength last season.
"The group take it as hard as anyone.
"The fans are always disappointed losing games but there's no one who hurts more than myself and the players."
Swansea have yet to beat Spurs since winning promotion to the Premier League, taking just one point from their eight meetings since 2011.
The North Londoners meanwhile have not lost in the Premier League since the opening day defeat at Manchester United.
Louie Howlett, 21, was clocked driving on the A11 at Icklingham, Suffolk, in April.
Magistrates in Bury St Edmunds disqualified him on Tuesday for 56 days - the maximum sentence the court can impose - and fined him £365.
Suffolk's police and crime commissioner Tim Passmore said the ruling was a "slap on the wrist".
More on this and other Suffolk stories
He said he would ask the Sentencing Council why magistrates can only impose a maximum 56-day ban.
"We should be looking at a few years... To me, it's a joke because it doesn't send a strong enough message."
The Sentencing Council said it did not comment on individual cases and maximum penalties are set by parliament.
Howlett, from Lakenheath, admitted speeding and told magistrates he was "sorry" and "had learnt his lesson".
Suffolk Police lodged an immediate appeal of the sentence and said they believed it to be the highest speeding offence recorded on the county's roads.
Mr Passmore said he would also query whether severe cases of speeding should be charged as dangerous driving.
"Driving at that speed [154mph] is grossly irresponsible, remarkably selfish and has a wanton disregard for every other road user on the A11.
"If you want to do that sort of speed, go to a race track."
Magistrates follow guidelines laid down in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
Their starting point is a fine and three points, rising to a maximum of a larger fine plus six points, or a driving disqualification of 56 days.
The maximum speed by which they base their sentence is 101-110mph in a 70mph zone. A speed of 154mph falls outside the guidelines.
Magistrates must also consider aggravating factors such as passengers and any mitigating circumstances, usually limited to a genuine emergency.
A reduction for a guilty plea is also considered.

Squadron Commander Edwin Dunning landed a Sopwith Pup biplane on HMS Furious in Scapa Flow, Orkney, on 2 August, 1917.
It was seen as marking the dawn of aviation from aircraft carriers. He died days later attempting a repeat.
A plaque to mark the landing - which relied on crew members to grab the plane's wings to stop it - will be unveiled at Scapa.
A flypast by a Hawk aircraft is also scheduled to take place, with a second pass with wheels and wing flaps extended - simulating an aircraft carrier landing approach.
Lt Cdr Barry Issitt, commanding officer of 736 Naval Air Squadron, said: "The event itself is of particular significance to the Royal Navy and Fleet Air Arm as it marks the first successful landing of a fixed-wing aircraft on a ship under way at sea; a moment that would be the genesis for the establishment of the pre-eminence of aircraft carriers.
"It is all the more poignant considering the current regeneration of the UK's carrier capability, with HMS Queen Elizabeth currently conducting sea trials not far from the location of Dunning's landing, with Merlin helicopters from 820 Naval Air Squadron operating from her flight deck."
The new plaque has been produced by local craftsman Stuart Wylie.
On 2 August 1917, Gp Capt Edwin Dunning made aviation history by becoming the first man to land a plane on a moving ship.
The pilot, who was born in South Africa was just 25.
He achieved the feat by landing his Sopwith Pup on the deck of the HMS Furious as the ship steamed through the waters of Scapa Flow in Orkney.
The landing was extremely perilous - whereas now arrest wires would bring a plane to a halt, Dunning was relying on the deck crew of the Furious to grab the wings of his Sopwith Pup to bring it to a halt.
Five days later, the dangers became all too apparent.
While attempting to repeat the feat, Dunning waved the ground crew away.
On approach, his engine stalled and he came down on the deck of the Furious at too steep an angle. Dunning was knocked unconscious, his plane went over the side of the ship and he drowned.
In 1992, a memorial stone was unveiled at Swanbister Bay in Orkney in recognition of his feat.
The Government Development Bank made a $355m (£235m) payment that was due to creditors on Tuesday.
Despite the move the territory is struggling to find money for government services and future debt payments.
Speaking to members of the US senate Puerto Rico's Governor, Alejandro Garcia Padilla, said the island's government, "had not cash left".
Puerto Rico has $72bn (£48bn) in outstanding debts.
If the government had missed Tuesday's payment it could have sparked law suits from creditors.
The prospect for future payments is still unclear.
The Governor said the territory is facing a situation where it must decide between defaulting- failing to make the payments on its debt- or cutting public services.
In his comments to a senate judiciary hearing Governor Garcia Padilla said, "Starting today the commonwealth of Puerto Rico will have to claw back revenues pledged to certain bonds issued in order to maintain public services."
Though Puerto Rico is a territory of the US it is not entitled to restructure its debt in the same way that state and city governments are.
Representatives from Puerto Rico - including the Governor - have been making the case that the island should be allowed to undertake the same process Detroit used when it faced bankruptcy.
Efimova is barred after the IOC said Russian athletes with previous doping bans could not compete.
"It seems to me extremely clear, she won't be there," said Jon Rudd.
"But if our international federation is allowed to become involved and manoeuvre around that ruling, then it wouldn't surprise me if she is there."
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided not to bar the entire Russian team from the 2016 Olympics, despite evidence of a state-sponsored doping programme in a report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Association (Wada).
Rudd, who is also the coach of British 50m record holder Ben Proud, says he is unsure whether Fina, swimming's governing body, is strong enough to implement bans on athletes from influential nations.
Efimova was suspended for a second time earlier this year after testing positive for meldonium, but the case against the four-time World Championship gold medallist was dropped earlier this month.

"I really want to believe in Fina," Rudd told BBC Sport.
"I'm a swimming coach at international level working with international athletes, I want to feel that my and our world governing body has got our backs - that when somebody is doing something that they shouldn't do, that our federation says 'we're not having that'.
"That hasn't been the case, so I'll be extremely happy if Fina redefine themselves now, here's an opportunity for them.
"The IOC, in their weak decision (not to ban the entire Russian team from Rio 2016) have handed an opportunity to Fina for them to regain some credibility.
"Whether that happens or not, watch this space, but at this moment in time I'm not holding my breath."
Rudd says that the IOC missed out on a chance to clean up sport for future generations by not banning the entire Russian team from Rio.
He added: "In 50-100 years' time, people would be saying 'do you remember back in 2016, when sport was rotten, and the IOC made a stand and they made that decision and Russia didn't go, and by 2020 when we all went to Tokyo, sport was a completely different thing and the world cleaned up its act?'
"It needed that stand to do that, to make everybody sit up and say: 'wow these guys mean business'.
"It may not be the only opportunity, as I don't know that this issue is finished, you've got some very powerful people now speaking about their opinions and beliefs on this IOC decision.
"There's undoubtedly going to be controversy at the Olympics, then post-Olympics there could be another opportunity where I think the IOC will reflect and say 'maybe we weren't strong enough'.
"It's an opportunity lost and I seriously hope it's not the only one."

He also broke his pelvis, his back in four places, shattered his arm and chest, as well as sustaining a massive brain injury in the bomb attack.
Flanked by hundreds of people, he walked for nearly half an hour with an assistant who supported his arm.
Day 39 of the torch relay
began in Sheffield and ended in Cleethorpes
.
Lance Bombardier Parkinson's nomination stated: "The brain injury took his speech, but not his personality and sense of humour," adding he now speaks unaided.
It said: "Determined to prove everyone wrong, he fought back every step of the way. Ben's intelligence and wit [are] unchanged. Still the same funny and caring Ben."
He spends 12 hours a day in the gym and rehab and walks with crutches, spending "the rest of his time spent raising money for many military charities and as patron of his beloved
Pilgrim Bandits
".
Major David Walker, his commanding officer, said he was in "absolute awe" of his colleague.
"I'm just about managing to keep it together," Major Walker told the BBC. "Ben's tenacity and sheer courage and determination is absolutely amazing."
A total of 130 torchbearers took part in the 39th day of the relay, covering 77 miles in generally good weather.
Doncaster Council said about 80,000 people turned out to see the torch in the town.
The first torchbearer of the day was Lucy Brunt, 13, from Sheffield, who completed a lap of the Don Valley Stadium running track to start the relay.
Ms Brunt was nominated to run at the athletics stadium for her courage and determination in coping with Down's Syndrome.
Poet and storyteller Debjani Chatterjee carried the flame into the
Magna Science and Adventure Centre
in Rotherham, which included a spark-filled visit to the Fire Pavilion.
The centre was opened in 2001 and was built on the site of the Templeborough Steelworks, which was once the largest in the world.
Just before the end of the relay the flame was taken on a brief trip on the
Cleethorpes Light Railway
before the final part of the day's journey was undertaken by 92-year-old World War II veteran Jack Andrew, from Sheffield.
He was nominated for his passion for sport, which has driven him to coach local football and cricket teams and continue to play golf despite having both knees replaced.
Other torchbearers on the day included James Needham, 28, an England wheelchair rugby gold medallist who teaches wheelchair skills to newly injured people.
In Rotherham, Chloe Birch, 16, carried the flame. She has been playing badminton since she was eight and has been representing England since she was 11.
Former footballer and TV pundit Chris Kamara carried the flame in Doncaster.
Throughout the day the flame travelled through Rotherham, Dalton, Thrybergh, Conisbrough, Warmsworth, Doncaster, Armthorpe, Dunsville, Hatfield, Scunthorpe, Brigg, Wrawby, Immingham and Grimsby before arriving in Cleethorpes.

, which is based in Grimsby.
London-based band Tribes and dance act Twist & Pulse were also due to perform.
A total of 8,000 people will carry the flame during its 8,000 mile, 70-day journey to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London on 27 July.
According to a New York Times report, Duane R Clarridge - a retired Central Intelligence Agency official who has been coaching Dr Carson on international affairs for several years - has been frustrated with his inability to comprehend the intricacies of national security despite regular briefings from experts.
Dr Carson and his campaign have since vehemently denied the allegations in the report.
In an interview with PBS NewsHour on Tuesday night, Dr Carson said that calling Mr Clarridge an adviser "would be a great stretch".
"He is a person who has come in on a couple of our sessions to offer his opinions about what was going on," he said. "And he has no idea who else I'm sitting down and talking to."
Carson campaign spokesperson Doug Watts took a different tack, noting that the 83-year-old Clarridge - who was indicted for lying to Congress as part of the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980s and later pardoned by President George HW Bush - is coming to the "end of a long career serving our country".
"For the New York Times to take advantage of an elderly gentleman and use him as their foil in this story is an affront to good journalistic practices," he said in a statement.
The Times stands behind its article, noting that long-time Carson business manager Armstrong Williams recommended that their reporters contact Mr Clarridge.
The Carson campaign's efforts to push back, so far, have been met with incredulity by much of the media.
"So the Carson campaign's defence is that one of the candidate's foreign policy advisers - regardless of whether he's a 'top' adviser or not - is an 'elderly gentleman' who is easily duped by a reporter?" asks US News & World Report's Robert Schlesinger. "Seriously? Is that supposed to make voters feel more comfortable with Carson or his operation?"
New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait quips that Dr Carson's "advisers now appear genuinely terrified that he might be elected president and are doing everything in their power to stop it."
The Times article could end up being particularly damaging in light of recent public focus on national security following last week's Paris attacks and Dr Carson's apparent difficulty handling questions on international policy.
During the last Republican debate in Wisconsin on 10 November, Mr Carson offered a convoluted response to whether he approved of Barack Obama's decision to send US special forces into Syria.
"Well, putting the special ops people in there is better than not having them there, because they, that's why they're called special ops," he said.
He also asserted - incorrectly, according to most experts - that Chinese forces were involved in the Syrian conflict.
In a Fox News interview on Sunday, Dr Carson was unable to explain which nations should be involved in a US-led coalition to fight the so-called Islamic State in Syria.
"He's been briefed on it so many times," Mr Williams told the Times. "I guess he just froze."
Dr Carson also said during the Fox interview that the US should impose a no-fly zone in Syria and fire on Russian planes if necessary.
"If they violate it, we will, in fact, enforce it," he said. "And, you know, we'll see what happened. You know, too, for us to always be backing down because we are afraid of a conflict, that's not how we became a great nation."
When asked by the Miami Herald about current US policy toward Cuban refugees, Dr Carson demurred.
"I have to admit that I don't know a great deal about that, and I don't really like to comment until I've had a chance to study the issue from both sides," he said.
Last week former CIA director Michael V Hayden told MSNBC of a phone conversation he had with Dr Carson two months ago.
"His instincts are all right," he said. "But this is a database in which he's very unfamiliar."
During his PBS interview, Dr Carson insisted that his foreign policy education is an ongoing process.
"I know a lot more than I knew," he said. "A year from now, I will know a lot more than I know now."
Advisers turning on their former wards - whether to advance their own interests or settle old scores - is a time-honoured tradition in US politics, of course. Normally, however, it happens at the end of a losing campaign and not while the candidate stands atop the polls, as is the case with Dr Carson.
And most of the time the dirt-dishing happens anonymously, not in on-the-record interviews.
Dr Carson has run an unconventional presidential campaign so far - light on details and heavy on the candidate's rags-to-riches life story and quiet, humble affect. He's steered clear of engaging in the back-and-forth with fellow candidates, despite harsh words from fellow front-runner Donald Trump.
So perhaps it's not surprising that when it comes to inside-the-campaign turmoil the old rules aren't applicable here, either.

Mae'r darn celf wedi hollti barn gan ei fod yn cyfeirio at y cestyll gafodd eu hadeiladu gan Loegr wrth iddyn nhw goncro Cymru.
Ymysg y beirniad mae un AC Plaid Cymru, sy'n dweud bod y cerflun yn "sarhad ar y genedl".
Ond dywedodd corff treftadaeth Cadw y byddai "penderfyniadau... fel y geiriau ar y cerflun yn adlewyrchu safbwyntiau lleol".
Yn ôl Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru - oedd yn rhan o'r broses o ddewis y gwaith - mae "gwerth i annog ymwelwyr i adlewyrchu ar y materion hanesyddol".
Mae'r prosiect £400,000 i fod yn rhan o Flwyddyn y Chwedlau, sy'n cael ei hyrwyddo gan Lywodraeth Cymru.
Y bwriad, yn ôl y datganiad gwreiddiol, yw nodi trosglwyddo coron Lloegr o un llinach ganoloesol i un arall - digwyddiad sy'n cael ei ddisgrifio yn nrama Richard II gan Shakespeare.
Ond i nifer, mae'r symbol yn symbol o orthrwm Lloegr dros Gymru.
Ar Twitter, dywedodd AC Plaid Cymru dros Ddwyrain Caerfyrddin a Dinefwr, Adam Price, bod "hyn yn sarhad ar y genedl".
Ychwanegodd: "Llywodraeth Llafur Cymru yn dathlu ein gorthrwm a'n darostwng gan Frenin Lloegr. Nodweddiadol ond gwarthus."
Ar ei chyfri' hi, dywedodd y gantores Cerys Matthews ei bod yn "cytuno y bydd adeiladu cylch haearn yn atgoffa cenedlaethau o blant Cymru o'u darostyngiad".
Ond yn eu hymateb, dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Cadw: "Rydyn ni'n cydnabod bod celf yn hollti barn, yn annog dadl, ac yn gallu cael ei ddehongli mewn nifer o ffyrdd, a bod cyfuno hanes, celf a lle yn aml yn gallu arwain at emosiynau pwerus ac angerdd."
Dywedodd mai "buddsoddi yn Y Fflint, cynyddu nifer yr ymwelwyr a chreu twf yn yr economi leol" yw bwriad y prosiect, a'i fod yn "gyfle unigryw i hyrwyddo dur Cymreig".
Ychwanegodd: "Byddwn ni'n parhau i wrando ar ystod o safbwyntiau ar y prosiect hwn wrth iddo esblygu, a sicrhau bod penderfyniadau am faterion fel y geiriau ar y cerflun yn adlewyrchu safbwyntiau lleol a hanes Cymru, sy'n gymhleth ac, yn aml, yn anodd."
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru: "Cafodd y gwaith ei gomisiynu ac mae'n cael ei ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru, rôl Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru oedd helpu gyda chynghori ar y broses dendro a dewis y gwaith.

The Multi-Story Orchestra was praised for its "ingenuity and impact in the local community" as it picked up the audience engagement prize.
Sakari Oramo, leader of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, won best conductor.
And the National Youth Orchestra took the ensemble award, as judges called it "a beacon of excellence for decades".
They reserved particular praise for the orchestra's outreach campaign, which aimed "to engage hundreds more teenagers" at a "time when music has such a precarious place in the schools' curriculum".
Pianist Clare Hammond, who appeared as a young Maggie Smith playing at the Proms in last year's Alan Bennett movie The Lady in the Van, won the award for young artists.
The 32-year-old, whose recent album of piano etudes was praised in Gramophone magazine for its "unfaltering bravura and conviction", is currently taking a break from performances to have a baby.
The jury praised her "commitment to new repertoire" and "compelling presence as a performer".
Russian virtuoso pianist Daniil Trifonov won the instrumentalist award and was commended by the jury for his "technical brilliance, deep musicality and fearless sense of adventure".
The musician, who is only 25, has been called a "superstar" and a "phenomenon". He gave his first concert aged eight, apparently losing one of his baby teeth mid-performance.
Internationally renowned opera director Graham Vick was presented with honorary membership of the Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS), joining the likes of Brahms (1882), Clara Schumann (1887), Stravinsky (1921), Aaron Copland (1970) and Evelyn Glennie (2015).
Vick, who is currently artistic director of Birmingham Opera Company, has spent his career bringing opera to new audiences.
In his early 20s, he founded a small touring group with funds from a government job creation scheme to take productions to remote communities in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Later, in the 1980s, he worked with a group of 300 unemployed young people on Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story in an abandoned mill in Yorkshire.
In its citation, the RPS said: "Graham Vick has single-handedly changed the way we think about opera. Everything he does stems from a passionate belief that opera that has excellence and accessibility at its core, speaks to everyone.
"He has taken opera out of the opera house and revitalised the repertoire, creating productions that engage both operatic newcomers and the most hardened devotees."
The ceremony, held at The Brewery in London, will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 at 19:30 BST on Wednesday, 11 May.
The full list of winners was as follows:
After losing two of their first three Premiership games, Wasps have now won back-to-back European Champions Cup pool games, capped by their impressive 32-6 win on Sunday over holders Toulon.
"The players have set the bar quite high," said 48-year-old Young.
"The challenge for us is to maintain those levels of performances."
Wasps' bonus-point victory over three-times champions Toulon followed a 33-6 win in Dublin against Leinster to give them an almost perfect start to their European campaign.
And Young said he had observed an uplift in his players' confidence as a consequence.
"It's been a bit of a rollercoaster start to the season, but the passes are now sticking when, in the first couple of games, they weren't," he told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire.
"We want to play and get the ball in hand and it wasn't quite clicking for us, our defence wasn't where it has been and our ball handling and retention was poor but we've improved that and reaped the benefits.
"Certainly over the last three to four weeks we've started to look more like a team."
Wasps return to domestic action against winless London Irish as part of Saturday's double-header at Twickenham, which also features Saracens against Worcester Warriors.
The Champions League winners had four previous bids for the former England Under-21 international rejected.
A statement on Chelsea's official website read: "Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Victor Moses from Wigan Athletic."
Age: 21
Clubs: Crystal Palace, Wigan
Nationality: Nigerian (three caps)
Did you know? Moses played for England at Under-16, U17, U19 and U21 level before pledging his allegiance to Nigeria.
No details were given on the contract for Moses, who played in the Blues' 2-0 victory at the DW Stadium on Sunday.
Chelsea are believed to have offered £7m up front, with a further £2m in add-ons.
Moses, 21, joined Wigan from Crystal Palace on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2010 for a reported fee of £2.5m.
He scored six goals for the Latics last season, playing a key part in their successful bid to stay in the Premier League.
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez was keen to keep the Nigeria international at the DW Stadium, but knew that Wigan were likely to accept a bid for the player if another club met their asking price.
Moses becomes Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo's second signing of the day, following the capture of Marseille full-back Cesar Azpilicueta.
Homes and businesses in the town were affected by waters overflowing from the Skiprunning Burn in August.
Local councillor Jim Brown said a study by engineering consultants Halcrow had produced some important findings.
He urged members of the public to turn out to the meeting in the town hall at 19:00 to hear the outcome.
About 50 homes and businesses were affected in the summer incident, prompted by a spell of thundery rain.
Mitigation measures being suggested include new arrangements for reducing a build-up of debris as well as alterations to kerbs and other street features to channel flows away from properties.

The ex-England captain was appointed Rugby Football League (RFL) rugby director in August after retiring with union side Yorkshire Carnegie in May.
Sinfield later held talks over a move to the National Rugby League (NRL) during a trip to Australia in May to watch a State of Origin game.
"I was very close to staying on," he told BBC Sport.
"I would have loved to have finished the NRL season, but I decided I've had my time," he added, refusing to name the club that approached him.
The 35-year-old, who is the all-time record points scorer for Leeds Rhinos, also spurned playing offers from Super League and union despite having had "no doubt" that he was fit and healthy enough to return.
Runner-up to Andy Murray in the 2015 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, he said that signing for any other rugby league side after such a long career at Leeds was never an option.
The seven-time Grand Final winner also said he does not want to coach, despite a strong desire among some Rhinos fans for him to return to the club.
He rejected the chance to join Brian McDermott's coaching staff earlier this season, deciding it was neither the right time for him nor the right thing for Leeds, who failed to defend their Super League crown.
"It would've been tough to go from poacher to gamekeeper in such a short space of time," said the club's most successful captain.
Sinfield is a fortnight into his two-days-a-week administrative role with the RFL.
"I'm not here to be popular, although I'd quite like to be popular," he said.
"I'm here to make the right calls at the right time. It's too easy to throw mud at the RFL and Super League. It's everybody's role to make our game better."
The 2016 Super League Grand Final will take place at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Saturday, 8 October at 18:00 BST. There will be full coverage on BBC Radio 5 live, and TV highlights on BBC TV.
The footpath to Durdle Door on the Jurassic Coast was damaged in a series of winter storms.
Work to rebuild the steps was carried out amid a row between Natural England and owners the Lulworth Estate over who was responsible for maintaining them.
Repairs were funded from car parking charges at the Door and Lulworth Cove.
James Weld, from the estate, said the beach is the most visited part of the Jurassic Coast.
He said it was important for people to be able to get up close to the Door, which had only been accessible via a steep clay path since January 2013.
"It's a national icon as well as one of Dorset's icons, so we're delighted to be able to reopen it, but it's sad it's taken so long."
Delegates passed an amendment at their annual gathering in Edinburgh. However, the move was opposed by party leader Willie Rennie.
Last year the Scottish government introduced a block on planned fracking operations.
Opponents of the energy capture claim it causes earthquakes and pollutes water supplies.
Scottish ministers said they were keen to carry out work on the environmental and health implications.
The Scottish Lib Dem conference amendment said: "Lifting the moratorium on planning and licensing for unconventional oil and gas extraction, granting the potential for Scottish-sourced unconventional gas to supply our important petrochemical industry."

The Star Wars spin off doesn't follow on from the latest film, but goes back to explain the background of the story.
The film is due to be released in December.
BBC entertainment reporter Colin Paterson tells us what's in store.
The attacker started up a conversation with the woman in Wallace Street and offered to walk with her in the early hours of Saturday morning.
He later followed her into an alleyway and assaulted her, police said.
He is described as white, around 5ft 8ins tall with blonde or brown short hair and a pale complexion.
He wore a light grey coloured jacket. spoke with a local accent and had a gaunt appearance.
Det Sgt Steven Hoggan said: "This was an extremely alarming attack that brought significant distress to the victim.
"We are working closely with her as part of an extensive investigation into this very serious incident and I wish to pay tribute to the tremendous bravery she has shown in coming forward and reporting this crime.
"I'm appealing to anyone who lives or was in the area during the early hours of Saturday and who may have seen this man or remembers any suspicious behaviour to come forward immediately.
"Also, anyone who recognises the description of the suspect is asked to contact police."
The eruption on Thursday created a cloud of ash that went up 20km (12 miles) into the air.
Volcanic ash can be extremely dangerous to aircraft as the fine particles can damage engines.
Many international flights have been affected in the last few hours, with one forced to turn back to Australia.
Qantas flight QF27 was five hours into its journey to Santiago when it had to turn back to Sydney late on Friday.
A Qantas spokeswoman in Sydney said it returned because of concerns over the ash cloud.
Two flights from the United States to Buenos Aires, one with Delta Air Lines and one with American Airlines, had to return to their departure airports.
One Air France flight from Paris to Santiago had to land in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and another destined for Buenos Aires landed in Rio de Janeiro.
All the passengers are likely to have to remain in Brazil until at least Saturday, a spokesman for Air France said.
The Air France spokesman said: "We don't want to take any risks as safety is our main priority. At this time, we'd advise anyone travelling with us to South America to keep on monitoring the situation. We will decide what happens to any other flights."
Buenos Aires is about 2,000km (1,243 miles) from the volcano, but Air France said their own control centre in Paris had warned of a potential risk to flights in the area.
A spokesman for Argentina's National Civil Aeronautic Administration said: "They were cancelled as a preventive measure, for fear that after landing they might not be able to take off later.
"We do not discount the possibility that other airlines might take the same decision."
In March, the Villarrica volcano, 200km (125 miles) north of Calbuco, erupted in the early hours of the morning, spewing ash and lava into the sky.
While some flights in Chile and Argentina were cancelled after that eruption, there was very little effect on international flights.
Flight cancellations depend on the density of the ash emitted by a volcano.
Dense ash can clog a jet's fuel and cooling system and lead to the failure of an engine.
House of Representatives Majority Whip Steve Scalise was one of five injured in the early morning ambush at a park in Alexandria, Virginia.
The attacker, identified as Illinois native James T Hodgkinson, 66, was killed after a firefight with police.
The injured included two officers with non-life-threatening wounds.
Hodgkinson was self-employed until recently and worked as a home inspector.
He had campaigned for former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
A Facebook account that appears to belong to Hodgkinson is filled with anti-Republican and anti-Trump posts.
Mr Sanders, a Vermont senator, said he was "sickened by this despicable act" and condemned Hodgkinson's actions.
President Trump described the attack as a "very, very brutal assault".
"We may have our differences, but we do well in times like these to remember that everyone who serves in our nation's capital is here because, above all, they love our country," he added.
The president visited Mr Scalise - who was shot in the left hip and is in a critical condition after surgery - at the MedStar Washington Hospital Center on Wednesday evening, describing him as a "patriot and a fighter".
The hospital said Mr Scalise had suffered fractured bones, internal organ injuries and severe bleeding and would require further operations.
What we know about James T Hodgkinson
The lawmakers were practising for the annual congressional ballgame that organisers vowed would go ahead as planned on Thursday at Nationals Park, home of Major League Baseball team the Washington Nationals.
Alexandria police said the FBI was taking over the investigation into the shooting, which began shortly after 07:00 (11:00 GMT) on Wednesday morning at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park.
As well as Mr Scalise, two police officers who protect him, Krystal Griner and David Bailey, lobbyist Matt Mika and Zack Barth, a congressional aide for Texas lawmaker Roger Williams, were injured.
Mr Barth, a former staffer for two Republican congressmen, was shot in the chest, according to witness Arizona Senator Jeff Flake.
Mr Flake told reporters he was at bat during the shooting and the victims were "sitting ducks".
Senator Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, said someone at the baseball field had used a belt as a tourniquet on Mr Scalise, who is the number three House Republican.
South Carolina congressman Jeff Duncan said the suspect had asked him whether Republicans or Democrats were practising, before shots rang out.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul told Fox News: "I do believe without the Capitol Hill police it would have been a massacre.
"We had no defence at all. The field was basically a killing field."
He said they were lucky that Mr Scalise was present because he has a security detail owing to his congressional seniority.
US lawmakers receive police protection while they are at the Capitol building, but only certain high-ranking House and Senate figures - believed to number about 10 in total - have a round-the-clock security detail wherever they are.
Just a handful of top congressional leaders used to have that privilege, but it was broadened after 9/11 to include the whips, according to The Hill.
However, other members can get protection too if, for example, threats have been made.
Some of those not eligible for constant protection carry guns in their home districts if the state laws allow it, and lawmakers can also organise local police protection for their events.
When Democrat representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot in January 2011 in Arizona while speaking to constituents, no police were providing security.
The latest shooting has triggered a fresh debate around the issue.
Mo Brooks, an Alabama Republican, told CNN he was on third base during the baseball game when he saw Mr Scalise, who was on second base, shot.
He said Mr Scalise had a bullet hole in his leg, but was saying: "I'm OK, I'm OK."
Mr Brooks said everyone on the field scattered as 50 to 100 shots were fired.
He said a gunfight had ensued between the shooter and the congressmen's police security detail, who were armed with pistols.
Mr Brooks, who took refuge behind a batting cage, said the gunman was armed with a rifle and was "blasting away" from behind the dugout.
Mr Brooks said congressmen Chuck Fleischmann, of Tennessee, Ron DeSantis, of Florida, and Jeff Duncan, of South Carolina, were among 15-25 other lawmakers at the game.
Asked by a CNN host if the attack was deliberate, Mr Brooks replied: "Well, it sure as heck wasn't an accident!
"He was going after elected officials, congressmen."
Mr Brooks continued: "The only weapon I had was a baseball bat and that's not the kind of fight you want to engage in."
Ohio congressman Brad Wenstrup, who served in Iraq as a combat surgeon from 2005-06, provided medical care at the scene.
He said the attack had lasted for at least 10 minutes, adding: "He had a lot of ammo."
Alexandria Police Chief Michael Brown said his officers had responded and engaged the shooter within three minutes.
The last member of Congress to be targeted by a gunman was Democrat Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head as she met constituents in Tucson, Arizona, in January 2011. She survived, but six others died in that incident.

An investigation by the Herald newspaper reported that the Scottish Asian Women's Association (Sawa) spent only 2.8% of its income on donations.
The two parties hit out at the MP and said the charity should account for how money was spent.
Ms Ahmed-Sheikh said she was "very proud" of her role with the charity.
The Ochil and South Perthshire MP set up the charity with support from the Scottish government in 2012, with Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon both present at the government-funded launch event.
Records held by the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator show that over the years she was chairwoman and it had income of £25,027, with expenditure of £2,507.
The Herald said £700 of that was spent on donations, although there was no suggestion the MP was involved in any wrongdoing.
The 45-year-old resigned from Sawa in 2015 after becoming an MP, and since then it has donated £11,000 to charitable causes.
Labour and the Conservatives said "serious questions" had to be asked about how money was spent while the SNP representative was in charge.
Ms Ahmed-Sheikh said the charity's main role had been in raising the profile of women from Scotland's Asian communities.
She said: "While I am grateful for the Scottish government's reception in launching the organisation in 2012, Sawa did not receive Scottish government funding.
"The association supported two highly successful awards events in 2013 and 2014, which also had cross party and cross community support, in addition to a diverse range of events to support our aims and objectives.
"Following our own fundraising efforts between 2013 and 2014, Sawa made a range of donations in 2015, and continues to plan and carry out its work in this important area, in addition to planning future events."
Scottish Labour's Jackie Baillie said "serious questions" should be asked about what the charity had spent its money on.
She added: "If the SNP government are going to hand out large sums of money to charities they need to establish what those charities are going to do with the funding to promote their cause."
Ms Baillie urged the government to release all correspondence and documentation relating to grants given to the charity.
Scottish Conservative finance spokesman Murdo Fraser echoed Labour's call saying: "Questions have to be asked about any charity which receives public money but puts barely a fraction back to good causes.
"The Scottish government must reveal, in full, its decision making process for awarding this cash.
"Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh should also explain why this charity failed to deliver when it benefited so richly from taxpayers' cash."
A Scottish government spokesman said: "The Scottish government supported the launch of the Scottish Asian Women's Association. We have not provided any financial support to the organisation since its launch in 2012."
Channel 4 has also fined Glasspool an undisclosed sum which he will give to a domestic violence charity.
"I am truly sorry to anyone I have upset or offended," he said.
"I would never condone domestic violence in any way and on reflection see that my video was insensitive and inappropriate."
The 24-year-old, who plays Harry Thompson, joined the soap to play student Harry last year and was nominated for best newcomer at this year's National Television Awards.
The clip was posted to the actor's Instagram account in June and featured him waving a knife in front of the camera.
He took on the role of a woman warning her boyfriend about talking to other girls, saying: "I would kill you if you did... With this knife I know exactly how to.
"Done it before and I'll do it again so don't even think about it."
The video has now been deleted.
A Hollyoaks spokesperson said: "Parry Glasspool has apologised and will begin an immediate two-week suspension from Hollyoaks. He will also be donating a fee to a domestic violence charity."

The protesters blame India for blockading fuel supplies on the India-Nepal border because Delhi is unhappy about Nepal's new constitution.
But India insists that it is not responsible for the blockade.
The demonstrators gathered after the embassy asked the Nepal Oil Corporation to provide fuel for its vehicles.
Shortages have become so pronounced that pharmaceutical companies in Nepal say they will be unable to manufacture essential drugs in the coming weeks because of a shortage of raw materials created by the blockade.
Officials are now reported to be looking into the possibility of flying fuel into the country from nearby Bangladesh.
Steps have already been taken to curtail the sale of petrol to all private vehicles.
Protesters said that their demonstration was "in the spirit of good neighbourliness" which is why they mockingly decided to "donate" oil to the embassy even though many Nepalese people are enduring hardships because of what they say is the Indian-enforced fuel blockade.
The BBC's Sanjaya Dhaka in Kathmandu says that at one point on Wednesday #DonateOilToIndianEmbassy became a top worldwide trend on Twitter.
Nepal's new constitution was promulgated two weeks ago, but sparked protests in the country's southern plains bordering India.
More than 40 people have died in protests related to the new constitution.
The demonstrators - most of whom are ethnic Madeshi people who live in the plains - are angry that it divides Nepal into seven new states, slicing through their ancestral homeland.
The Madeshis - who have close cultural ties with India - and other ethnic groups want the states to be larger with more autonomy.
India argues that insecurity caused by protests has meant that trucks carrying fuel and other essential goods cannot enter Nepal.
But correspondents say that many Nepalese view the Indian move as an unofficial blockade in support of people who live in the plains.
Negotiations between the protesters and the government are due to resume on Friday.
The talks come as concern mounts that the blockade will interfere with Dashain, the highlight of Nepal's religious calendar, which begins in less than two weeks.
Many people who live in Kathmandu come from districts outside the city and its surrounding valley and return home by road for the festival.
Former heavyweight world champion Haye, 35, dropped Gjergjaj three times before the referee waved the fight off.
Haye's next fight in September will be against American veteran Shannon Briggs, who knocked out Argentina's Emilio Zarate on the undercard.
Haye's ultimate aim is a match with either IBF champion Anthony Joshua or WBA and WBO champion Tyson Fury.
Fury having still not forgiven Haye for pulling out of two scheduled fights against him in 2013, Joshua is the more realistic target.
Manchester's Fury faces a rematch against Wladimir Klitschko on 9 July, while London's Joshua faces unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale on 25 June.
"I felt amazing," said Haye, who now has 28 wins (26 KOs) and two defeats from 30 professional contests.
"The fans have come out to see the future of heavyweight boxing. People thought I was the past, but I am still the future.
"Anthony Joshua is a fight I would relish. But next up for me is Shannon Briggs. He came over to England and talked a big game.
"I told him if he came over and beat someone I would fight him in September. Let's go chump, let's go chump."
Haye was out of the sport for three and a half years after undergoing shoulder surgery in 2013 but returned with a first-round knockout of Mark de Mori in January.
And he floored the unbeaten Gjergjaj with a right hand inside the first 30 seconds at the O2 arena, before dropping him with a left jab and a chopping right in the second.
Haye's Swiss-based opponent made it to his feet but referee Terry O'Connor had seen enough.
The 44-year-old Briggs, a former WBO world champion, lost world title challenges against Vitali Klitschko in 2010 and Britain's Lennox Lewis in 1998.
Briggs, who is now based in London, took four years out of the sport after the Klitschko defeat, during which he suffered from depression and ballooned to 400lb.
But he has won all nine fights since returning, including his latest one-round demolition of Zarate.
Haye has pledged to donate 10% of ticket sales for his latest fight to Nick Blackwell.
The 25-year-old Blackwell will not fight again after sustaining serious head injuries in his middleweight fight against Chris Eubank Jr in March.
Alex Phillips, who was UKIP's head of media for two years, said she was impressed by PM Theresa May.
The government was putting in place UKIP policies on grammar schools and Brexit, she said.
Ms Phillips said her former party, which declined to comment, was in a "catastrophic mess" and riven by irreparable schisms and divisions.
Mr Farage told BBC Breakfast UKIP needed to "professionalise and change" since many of its senior officials did not have the political experience and expertise necessary.
"A new broom sweeps clean," he said. "That is a job for the new leader to do."
Under his leadership, he said the party had gone from being regarded as a "kooky" outfit on the margins to winning national elections.
He rejected suggestions UKIP was irrelevant following the vote to leave the EU, saying it was the only party able to keep the pressure on Theresa May to "deliver on Brexit".
The new UKIP leader is to be announced later at the party's annual conference in Bournemouth.
Five contenders stood for election after Nigel Farage resigned in July, saying the UK's Brexit vote meant his political ambition had been achieved.
The candidates are Elizabeth Jones, Lisa Duffy, Philip Broughton, Diane James and Bill Etheridge.
New UKIP leader to be announced
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme about the state of UKIP, Ms Phillips said: "There's a lot of suspicion, there's a lot of jealousy, there's a lot of bitterness and anger."
She added she felt she had "outgrown" the party.
Mr Farage had stepped down as leader, she said, partly because the divisions became so profound the party had ground to a halt.
"Being able to keep the machine oiled and functioning in terms of co-operating and working with the NEC had all dried up and I think Nigel eventually just threw his hands up and went, 'Well, what's the point?'," she said.
Ms Phillips revealed she is writing a memoir about her experience working closely with Mr Farage on a series of election campaigns.
She stressed that she was a "huge fan" of the outgoing UKIP leader and blamed his advisers for his failure to win a seat in the House of Commons.
But she added: "I do think that he has a tendency at times to create rifts with people.
"You can fall out of favour with Nigel - and some people have learned that to their cost."
Ms Phillips worked as UKIP's head of media from 2013 until last year.
Most recently she has been working for Welsh assembly member Nathan Gill, who sits as an independent after falling out with the leader of UKIP in Wales, former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton.
Ms Phillips, who is now a member of the Conservative Party, said: "I'm extremely impressed by Mrs May's conviction when it comes to selective education.
"I am currently reassured by what she's saying about Brexit, and I'm also optimistic about Britain's future energy security because I know that she's willing to go ahead and say, 'Right, let's have exploratory drilling for shale gas.'
"I think those three key issues are in the UKIP 2015 manifesto. They're now actually being conducted in Parliament, which is excellent."
Terry Myerson said Strontium was exploiting the bug to infect PCs in order to get access to potentially sensitive data.
Strontium is also known as APT28 and Fancy Bear, and has previously been blamed for attacking a French TV network and the US Democratic Party.
Microsoft says it is working on a fix.
It intends to release the patch next week.
Other cybersecurity researchers say analysis of the hackers' previous activities suggests they are Russians, or at least citizens of a neighbouring country who can speak Russian, and appear to be acting in Moscow's interests rather than for personal profit.
FireEye - a company whose clients include the US Department of Defense - has gone so far as to say the attackers are "most likely sponsored by the Russian government".
But the link has never been conclusively proven, and the Kremlin has repeatedly denied its involvement.
It's unusual for the big tech companies to reveal a software flaw in their products before they have a fix, because it flags the problem to cybercriminals.
Indeed, Microsoft had planned to stay quiet about this bug until it had a solution.
But Google forced its hand when it published details of the issue on Monday.
Microsoft was irked. But Google justified its move saying: "This vulnerability is particularly serious because we know it is being actively exploited."
Mr Myerson has confirmed the issue is with a system file, which Windows requires to display graphics.
The company says customers using both the latest version of Windows 10 and Microsoft's own Edge web browser should be safe but acknowledges others remain at risk.
However, it says the attack only works if a user also has Flash installed, and a newly released version of Adobe's media plug-in also provides protection.
Regarding Strontium itself, Microsoft says the hackers have come up with more types of novel attack - known as zero-days - than any other tracked group this year.
"Strontium frequently uses compromised email accounts from one victim to send malicious emails to a second victim and will persistently pursue specific targets for months until they are successful in compromising the victims' computers," Mr Myerson wrote.
"Once inside, Strontium moves laterally throughout the victim network, entrenches itself as deeply as possible to guarantee persistent access, and steals sensitive information."
The hackers are believed to have used spearphishing - a technique that involves targeting specific individuals with emails and other messages that seek to fool them into revealing their logins.
The attackers have a reputation for being persistent.
They have been known to repeatedly send messages to high-value individuals for more than a year, if necessary, until one succeeds.
Neither Google nor Microsoft have said who received the latest batch of booby-trapped emails.
But Microsoft has previously said of the hackers' typical prey: "Its primary institutional targets have included government bodies, diplomatic institutions, and military forces and installations in Nato member states and certain Eastern European countries.
"Additional targets have included journalists, political advisers, and organisations associated with political activism in Central Asia."
The group has also been called Sofacy, Sednit and Pawn Storm, and has been linked to attacks dating back to 2007.
It appears to operate its own website, where it calls itself Fancy Bears.
It was used to leak confidential medical files about US Olympic athletes earlier this year, which had been stolen from the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The site suggests the group is part of the wider Anonymous hacktivist collective, although this may be an attempt at misdirection.
Months earlier, cybersecurity company Crowdstrike accused the hackers of breaching the US Democratic Party's governing body's network.
It suggested they might be affiliated with the GRU, Russia's military intelligence service.
"Their tradecraft is superb, operational security second to none, and the extensive usage of 'living-off-the-land' techniques enables them to easily bypass many security solutions they encounter," it said in a report.
Other activities blamed on the team include:
No. Security company Trend Micro has previously linked the hackers to malware designed to infect jailbroken iPhones and iPads.
Microsoft says it has also observed the group using web domains customised to compromise Mac and Linux computers in other campaigns.
In the past, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has strenuously denied allegations that the hackers are directed or supported by the Russian government or its intelligence services.
He has said the claims are "unfounded" and "do not contain anything tangible".
"There's no smoking gun," says Alan Woodward, a security consultant who advises Europol and has worked with GCHQ in the past.
"But the amount of circumstantial evidence is certainly mounting.
"What most of the government agencies are saying is that the Russian government doesn't seem to be doing anything to stop them, which kind of tells a story in itself."
At a Glasgow rally, Mr Miliband said there would be "no deal, no coalition, no pact" with Nicola Sturgeon's party.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the threat of a Labour/SNP government "remains the same".
Ms Sturgeon said a minority Labour government would be "paralysed" if it refused to talk to other parties.
Meanwhile, UKIP's Nigel Farage said he could support a deal with a Conservative and Lib Dem coalition.
In other election news:
The parties clashed over potential post-election arrangements after Thursday's BBC Question Time, in which Mr Miliband said there would be no Labour government if it involved "deals or coalitions" with the SNP.
Polls suggest a hung Parliament is likely after 7 May, and that the SNP could take a number of Labour seats.
Ed Miliband has been clear for some time he wouldn't be offering the prospect of a coalition to the SNP.
Privately then publicly he stated his approach if he is in a position to form a minority government: He would put forward a Queen's Speech - a legislative programme - without an SNP deal and dare the nationalists to vote it down.
He thinks he is in a strong position because Nicola Sturgeon has said she wouldn't give David Cameron the keys to Downing Street.
But by going even further and saying he would rather not be in government than do a deal with the SNP, he has given Nicola Sturgeon a powerful weapon in her so far successful battle to persuade former Labour voters in Scotland to back her party because - as at the referendum - she can argue that Mr Miliband is too close to the Tories.
So why do it? Well the polls suggest that Scotland has turned from fertile to hostile territory for Labour so he has in effect given up on the prospect of very many former voters returning to the fold.
But in 50 key English marginals, polling for ComRes suggests - after a relentless focus on this by the Conservatives - three out of five voters are worried about the influence the SNP would have over a minority government.
So he decided to try to eliminate this negative rather than pursue an all but lost cause.
Mr Miliband returned to the theme in Glasgow as he addressed Labour supporters having been greeted by some protesters as he arrived to make his speech.
"Nationalist never built a single school... never lifted a single person out of poverty," he said.
He praised former Labour leaders John Smith and Gordon Brown and said the SNP could not "lecture" his party about fighting the Conservatives.
Mr Miliband also renewed his attack on the Conservatives over welfare cuts, saying there were "six days to save your child benefit" after Mr Cameron faced questions about his party's plans on Question Time.
The prime minister, who said child benefit was "vital" to parents, dismissed Mr Miliband's ruling out of an SNP deal.
He said: "What Ed Miliband said last night actually changes nothing.
"Is he really saying that if Labour don't get a majority but if Labour plus the SNP is a majority 'I won't be PM'? Of course he's not saying that.
What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election?
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
"The threat today is the same as the threat yesterday. Ed Miliband propped up by the SNP not governing on behalf of the whole country."
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said people would be appalled by Mr Miliband's refusal to consider a deal with her party, and she said his comments would only galvanise more people to vote for the SNP so Scotland had a decisive voice at Westminster.
She told the BBC her party could vote against a minority Labour budget without bringing the government down if it was not consulted.
Mr Miliband "wants to cling to the pretence that he's going to win a majority," she said.
"The polls say he's not. And if he ends up in the position of being in a minority government then he simply cannot continue to say he's not going to talk to anybody, because that means his own government would be paralysed. And he will not want that to happen."
The Conservatives highlighted a comment from Labour's shadow health secretary Andy Burnham, who said "of course" when asked whether there would be dialogue with the SNP if a minority Labour administration needed to get its policies through the House of Commons.
Labour's Hilary Benn also told the BBC's Daily Politics his party would have to have discussions with the SNP to get a Queen's Speech through parliament, saying such conversations were "the normal to and fro of the House of Commons".
Earlier, on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he didn't want UKIP to go into coalition.
However, he said he could do a "confidence and supply" deal with a Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition.
In such a deal, a minor party would typically support a bigger party in any votes of no confidence which could threaten to topple the government, and in voting through the Budget.
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said Mr Miliband's comments were "very surprising", saying "he appeared to say that he'd leave David Cameron in place, rather than be prepared to work with the SNP".
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said Mr Miliband had been "foolish" to say he would implement his manifesto in full, even if he does not win a majority.
"It's just another ludicrous claim from Ed Miliband. It's just such a foolish thing to say," he said.
"If you don't win a majority and you have to govern with another party, you don't have the democratic right from the British people to insist on implementing your manifesto in full without any compromises."
Mr Clegg made the comments on a visit to Manchester to set out another of his party's "red lines" before entering into any future coalition.
He said the Lib Dems would insist on securing £8bn funding for the NHS, and making sure mental health issues were treated with the "same esteem" as physical health before entering into any deal with another party.

Kewell, 38, joined Watford as an under-23 team coach in June 2015, before leaving the club earlier this season.
The former Australia international scored 45 goals in 185 Premier League games for Leeds, before spending five seasons with Liverpool.
He retired in June 2014 after spells at Galatasaray and Melbourne.
Former Newport County manager Warren Feeney, who was sacked by the Exiles in September 2016, has been appointed as Kewell's assistant.
"During his interview Harry showed us great passion - that's needed to make this team move onwards," director of football Selim Gaygusuz told the club website.
Crawley had been without a head coach since Drummy left the club by mutual consent on 4 May.
The Reds finished 19th in League Two this season, five points above the relegation zone.
Shares in IBM rose more than 2%. Earlier it announced the purchase of Bluewolf, which provides software services to firms.
The Dow Industrials lost 31.57 points, falling to 17,685. The S&P 500 fell 4.21 points to 2,059 and the Nasdaq was a little higher at 4,869.
There will be a closely-watched employment report out on Friday.
"Today, we're just in a do-nothing mode and we will wait and see what happens Friday," said Matthew Tuttle, chief executive, Tuttle Tactical Management.
"There's going to be a big move one way or the other [on Friday], you don't know which way it's going to go and you don't want to put on large bets right before that," he said.
Argoed Residents for a Safer Community wants councils and others to provide secure, supported housing instead.
The group was set up after homeless prison leaver Matthew Williams killed Cerys Yemm at Argoed's Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Caerphilly county last year.
Caerphilly council said the use of B&Bs for homeless people had been reduced.
Lisa Watkins, who helped start the Argoed residents' group, said they believed some prison leavers being housed in B&Bs were re-offending because they were put in the accommodation unsupported.
"We do have supported accommodation within the community and it's run really, really well - we'd like to see more of that type of accommodation," she added.
Councils are allowed to use bed and breakfast guest house rooms as emergency accommodation for those classed as a "priority need", such as people with a dependant child or those deemed vulnerable due to leaving the armed forces.
Homeless prison leavers can get emergency accommodation but they would be "subject to careful consideration of all the risk information available at the time", a report to Caerphilly council on the matter said.
Caerphilly council's housing manager Kenyon Williams said uncertainty surrounding funding given to councils to address homelessness was frustrating, but said the council had made significant progress in reducing the use of B&Bs for the homeless.
"This time last year we had 50 people in bed and breakfast accommodation, today we have four," he said.
Councillor Hefin David, who chaired a meeting to discuss the issue on Thursday night, said: "Any use of bed and breakfast accommodation is too much but what we've seen is it's been reduced right down to four at the moment and the officers committed to reducing it completely as far as they can in the future.
"We've received Welsh government funding to ensure we continue to alleviate poverty and homelessness - that funding is really important, and the committee has agreed to write to the Welsh government to ask them to continue that funding into the years ahead."
William Graham, Conservative AM for South East Wales, said he would to write to the housing minister to ask how the government will monitor the use of B&B accommodation for those who claim they are homeless.
The company has said the average annual saving will be about £50.
The move has been made possible by a steady fall in the price of wholesale gas, the main fuel used in electricity generation.
According to Power NI, its business and farm customers will also see reductions of between 7% - 11%.
Power NI is Northern Ireland's largest electricity supplier, used by more than 500,000 homes.
Its managing director, Stephen McCully, said: "This is the third year in a row we have been able to cut or freeze prices.
"This means more money in the pockets of householders and with farms and businesses also seeing a similar reduction it is good news all round."
Power NI is facing ever greater competition from rival suppliers.
Richard Williams, head of energy at the Consumer Council said: "We would now like to see the other domestic electricity suppliers follow suit."
Earlier this month, Open Electric announced a 9% cut, while in January, SSE Airtricity announced a 1% reduction.
The defender left last year because of work and studying commitments, plus the need to recover from a back injury.
Manager Jamie Sherwood told the club website: "I am really happy to have brought Natalie back to the club.
"Her experience, leadership and outright ability becomes an excellent addition to our squad for 2017."
Haigh added: "After the injury I sustained to my back almost 15 months ago, I never thought I would play again, let alone at this level.
"It's great to be back in and around the club - there is a real buzz after the success they achieved last year." | The 100th anniversary of the first time an aircraft touched down on the deck of a moving ship is to be marked.

BBC series Cat Watch used GPS trackers and cat cameras to follow 100 cats in three different environments - in the city, a village and a farm.
The experiment found that the farm cats travelled much further than the city cats - up to 15 football pitches' worth, compared to just up the street.
Domestic cats have also learnt to meow to humans over time, so that they can get what they want from us.
Cat Watch presenter Liz Bonnin talked to Newsround's Jenny about some of the main discoveries.
Cat Watch starts on BBC Two at 8pm on Tuesday.
Cats - 3 things you might not know about them!
Based on the Oscar-winning 1998 film, the play sees Orlando play the young Will Shakespeare, here depicted as a budding playwright with crippling writer's block.
Eve, meanwhile, plays Viola De Lesseps, a (fictional) noblewoman who disguises herself as a man in order to play the male lead in the debut production of Romeo and Juliet.
Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall, Shakespeare in Love received a warm response from the critics when it opened last year.
How much, though, do its leads know about Shakespeare himself? The BBC News website sat down with them before an evening performance earlier this month and gave them a gentle grilling about the Bard of Avon.
We start by setting a few ground rules. Yes, it's a competition. Yes, there will be points. And, since we are in a theatre dressing room, "The Scottish Play" is an acceptable alternative to saying Macbeth.
"Oh, good," says James with relief. "I've already had to spit on the floor and spin around three times." (Old theatrical superstition.)
"Can we say the name though?" says Ponsonby. "I've never said 'The Scottish Play' - I've always just said the name."
"I love that we know one of the answers now," says James. "I'm going to say it for every question."
Question 1: "Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene..."
Ponsonby (instantly): Romeo and Juliet. Next one - let's go.
Question 2: "Now is the winter of our discontent...
James: "...made glorious summer by this sun of York." Richard III. One all.
Question 3: "If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it."
Ponsonby: Is it Love's Labour's Lost? Much Ado About Nothing? Measure for Measure? As You Like It? I'm just going to go through all of them.
James: "If music be the food of love..." This is so famous.
Ponsonby: Twelfth Night? (Correct.) Yes!
James: It's a Shakespeare in Love quiz - of course it's Twelfth Night! Tsk.
Question 4: "Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour draws on apace..."
Ponsonby: Erm... erm... A Midsummer Night's Dream! 3-1.
James: I'm more of a sitter and a thinker.
Question 5: "So shaken as we are, so wan with care, find we a time for frighted peace to pant."
Ponsonby: Is it Hamlet? No, it's not Hamlet.
James: You should deduct a point for that. Is it The Winter's Tale? The Tempest? Henry IV Part 1? (Correct.)
Ponsonby: 3-2
With Ponsonby narrowly ahead, we move on to questions about Shakespeare's many references to animals - including one about the most famous stage direction ever written.
Question 1: Who gets an ass's head in A Midsummer Night's Dream?
James and Ponsonby: (near simultaneously): Bottom.
Ponsonby: You got there first.
Question 2: What animal chases Antigonus off the stage in The Winter's Tale?
James: A bear. "Exit pursued by a bear." First lines I don't listen to, but then all I'm listening out for is animals.
Question 3: In which play do we hear the phrase "beast with two backs"?
Ponsonby: Othello!
James: You don't need to raise your hand.
Question 4: Which character says "Since I am a dog, beware my fangs"?
Ponsonby: Hots... Spur? Shy... Lock? Shylock. (Correct.) The Merchant of Venice.
Question 5: What's the name of Launce's dog in The Two Gentlemen of Verona?
James: We call our dog in the play Spot. Lancelot? (Answer: Crab.)
It's now 5-4, with James taking the lead. We move on to a round about family matters, both on and off stage.
Question 1: Name the three sisters in King Lear.
Ponsonby: Regan, Gertrude and Cordelia.
James: Gertrude?
Ponsonby: Goneril! (Correct.)
James: I don't work well under pressure.
Question 2: Name the two brothers in Much Ado About Nothing.
Ponsonby: Paris? (Incorrect.)
James: You have Don Pedro and Don...
Ponsonby: ...John. (Correct.) Half a point to me.
Question 3: What's the name of Viola's twin in Twelfth Night?
Ponsonby: Sebastian. (Correct.) Yes! I'm really happy with that one.
James: Just for the record, I do know all of these.
Question 4: What's the name of Caliban's mother in The Tempest?
Ponsonby: I don't know.
James (excitedly): Philomen? Oh, I don't know. (Answer: Sycorax.)
Question 5: What was the name of Shakespeare's only son?
James: I should know this. James?
Ponsonby: Bill Junior? Hamlet? Macbeth?
James: I can't believe you just said that. In a dressing room.
Ponsonby: It's not that anyway. (Answer: Hamnet.) Hamnet? Poor, poor boy.
The score is now 6½-5½, with Ponsonby in the lead. But that can all change in a round in which she and her co-star have to name the play that inspired these celebrated big-screen adaptations.
Question 1: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999).
Ponsonby: Er... er... How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days! No.
James: What? The Taming of the Shrew. (Correct.)
Question 2: Forbidden Planet (1956).
James: I don't know. It's sci-fi, isn't it?
Ponsonby: The Tempest? (Correct.)
James: Should we both take a point for that?
Ponsonby: No, because I said it first.
Question 3: Throne of Blood (1957).
James: It's "The Scottish Play". (Correct.)
Ponsonby: What's that called?
James: Hmm-mmm.
Question 4: She's the Man (2006).
Ponsonby: Twelfth Night? (Correct.) She dresses as a boy.
Question 5: Ran (1985).
James: Is it also "The Scottish Play"? (Incorrect.)
Ponsonby: Hamlet? Romeo and Juliet? (Incorrect.)
James: Is it King Lear? (Correct.) We must be quite close now.
Verily he speaks the truth, with the scores dead level on 8½ apiece. It's all to play for as we enter the final round.
Question 1: What role is Shakespeare said to have played in the original production of Hamlet?
James: Laertes! (Incorrect.) Fortinbras! (Incorrect.)
Ponsonby: Hamlet? (Incorrect.)
James: Claudius? (Incorrect.) Erm... The Ghost? (Correct.) Yes!
Question 2: Which Shakespeare character describes himself as "more sinn'd against than sinning"?
James: Er... Leontes! (Incorrect.)
Ponsonby: Hamlet, Othello, Iago, King Lear... (Correct.) King Lear! Of course it is.
Question 3: Which play did Shakespeare write in collaboration with John Fletcher?
James: The Comedy of Errors? (Incorrect.) The Merchant of Venice? (Incorrect.)
Ponsonby: The Two Gentlemen of Verona? (Incorrect.) The One Gentleman of Verona? (Incorrect.)
James: The Two Noble Kinsmen! (Correct.) Two more questions!
Question 4: Which planet's moons are named after Shakespearean characters?
Orlando: Pluto, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Venus, Earth, Mercury... What haven't we said?
Ponsonby: KW dot one, whatever the new one is. (Eve may be referring to Kepler 186f, discovered last year.)
James: Uranus! (Correct.) Down to the wire. Did you dream this would work out this way?
Final question: What was the name of Shakespeare's acting company?
James: The Chamberlain's Men! (Incorrect.) No, the other one...
Ponsonby: The King's Men? (Correct.) Yes!
But it's too little, too late - James wins by 11½ to Ponsonby's 10½.
But wait. A steward's enquiry is required. Shakespeare's acting company was originally known as The Lord Chamberlain's Men before becoming The King's Men with the accession of James I, so technically James is also correct...
...which means he gets an extra mark, extends his lead and beats his co-star by two clear points. Quizzes can be so cruel...
Shakespeare in Love continues at the Noel Coward theatre until 18 April.
The new offer is understood to be in the region of 2tn yen (£14bn).
Toshiba needs to sell the unit after an accounting scandal and cost overruns at its Westinghouse nuclear unit.
Western Digital, which jointly runs Toshiba's main semiconductor plant, has been feuding bitterly with its Japanese partner.
It has sought a US court injunction to prevent any deal that does not have its consent.
But Toshiba wants to sell to a different bidder.
The Japanese technology giant wants to nail down an agreement to sell to a consortium led by the Japanese government by Wednesday, the day of Toshiba's annual shareholders meeting.
The consortium, which includes Bain Capital, has previously offered around 2tn yen.
Western Digital has a 49% stake in the unit thanks to its joint venture with Toshiba, which has been in existence for 17 years.
The US company has said the deal grants both parties rights including consent to the disposal of assets.
The BBC has seen a letter sent by Western Digital's board to Toshiba in which they warn they "will not consent to a transaction with the proposed consortium" because of concerns over the involvement of South Korean rival SK Hynix, which they fear will try to benefit from the technology at stake.
"SK Hynix paid hundreds of millions of dollars to Toshiba just two years ago to settle claims that it misappropriated critical JV technology," the letter said.
"SK Hynix's participation in a consortium purchasing Toshiba's interests in the JVs increases the likelihood of technology leakage and harm to the JVs going forward," it added.
Toshiba wants to sell the unit quickly to cover billions of dollars in cost overruns at its bankrupt Westinghouse nuclear unit and to dig itself out of negative shareholder equity that could lead to a delisting.
Last week, Toshiba warned its losses for 2016 may be greater than it had previously forecast.
It predicted a net loss of 995bn yen (£7bn) for the year to March, up from its earlier estimate of 950bn yen.
The firm was demoted to the second tier of the Tokyo Exchange after confirming its liabilities outweighed its assets.
It also got regulatory approval to delay filing its annual earnings again, this time until 10 August, after a previous deadline extension to 30 June.
The 15-year-old was shot during Operation Motorman on 31 July 1972.
The operation was aimed at reclaiming "no go areas" in the city from the IRA.
Daniel, who was a labourer, was shot twice in the head by a soldier close to his home in Creggan. His cousin Christopher, 16, was shot in the head by the same soldier but survived.
On Friday, following a five day hearing, the jurors unanimously found that neither teenager posed a risk when they were shot.
The jury also rejected the soldiers' claims that they had shouted warnings to the two teenagers before they were shot.
They found that none of the soldiers present attempted to "approach the injured youths to either search them or provide medical assistance".
This is the second inquest into Daniel's death.
The initial inquest was held in 1973 and recorded an open verdict. A second inquest was ordered by the Attorney General in 2009 following an examination by the Historical Enquiries Team.
The report found that the RUC investigation at the time was "hopelessly inadequate and dreadful".
It also said Daniel "posed no threat whatsoever" when the soldiers opened fire.
The inquest opened on Monday and heard from Daniel's sister Margaret Brady. She described how her mother continued to set a place for him at the table and call him for dinner for months after his death.
In 2007, the British government apologised to the Hegarty family after describing Daniel as a terrorist.
A Ministry of Defence document, assessing the Army's role in Northern Ireland, also incorrectly claimed the 15-year-old was armed.

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 224 and two touchdowns in a 26-6 victory over the Detroit Lions.
It was the Seahawks's 10th consecutive post-season victory at home.
Earlier in Houston, the Texans overpowered rookie third-choice quarterback Connor Cook to beat the Oakland Raiders 27-14.
The Raiders were without starting quarterback Derek Carr, who broke his leg in the penultimate game of the regular season, and his back-up Matt McGloin.
It took Oakland, making their first post-season appearance since the 2002 term, until the fourth quarter to pass 100 total yards by which time the game was out of sight.
In Seattle, Thomas Rawls set a record when he became the first Seahawks running back to post 100 or more rushing yards in the first half of a post-season game.
The victory set up an NFC divisional round trip to the second-seed Atlanta Falcons on Saturday.
The remaining two wildcard games take place on Sunday when the Miami Dolphins visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (18:05 GMT) before the Green Bay Packers host the New York Giants (21:40).
The Texans will face either the New England Patriots or the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional round next weekend, depending on the result in Pittsburgh.
"Kids are becoming addicted to drugs because the drugs are being sold for less money than candy," he claimed, blaming Mexico as the drugs source.
"I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den," said Mr Trump, the leaked transcript shows.
New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan called the comments "disgusting".
"Instead of insulting people in the throes of addiction, @POTUS needs to work across party lines to actually stem the tide of this crisis," she wrote in a series of tweets.
Like many American states, New Hampshire is suffering from an acute problem with drugs, especially opioids.
In the past 24 hours, two men were arrested for drugs offences in two different public parks in Manchester, the state's largest city.
One man was injecting in plain view of officers, and the other had just suffered his second overdose in four hours, the New Hampshire Union Leader reports.
Jeanne Shaheen, the other US senator from New Hampshire, called for Mr Trump to apologise to state residents.

Mr Trump actually lost New Hampshire to Hillary Clinton during the presidential general election.
However, he did beat more than half a dozen other Republicans to win the state's first-in-the-nation primary vote.
Mr Trump's comments were also attacked online by the New Hampshire Democratic Party.
End of Twitter post by @NHDems
The party's Twitter account also began retweeting scenic landscape images of the mountainous New England state.
Republican Governor Chris Sununu was also quick to respond, issuing a statement saying "Mr Trump is wrong."
"It's disappointing his mischaracterisation of this epidemic ignores the great things this state has to offer."
Donald Trump is president in large part because of the voters of New Hampshire. Although he lost the state in the general election, his Republican primary victory there last February cemented his frontrunner status, crushed opponent Marco Rubio's momentum and mortally wounded the candidacy of Jeb Bush. It opened a pathway to the White House that had seemed absurd up until then.
Mr Trump succeeded by appealing to working-class, non-educated white voters in the state - the kind of people who have been hit hard by spread of opioid drugs. The president acknowledged this in his conversation with the Mexican president, but some New Hampshire residents may find his language dismissive in the extreme.
Then again, Trump voters flocked to their candidate because he was blunt; because he didn't say the sort of things politicians usually do. Time and time again, his supporters heralded his verbal stumbles and gaffes not as a flaw but as a sign of honesty.
No politician in his right mind would refer to a US state as a "drug-infested den". But at this point it goes without saying that Mr Trump is no ordinary politician.
End of Twitter post by @NHKathySullivan
Earlier this week a White House commission urged Mr Trump to declare the epidemic a "national emergency".
Since 1999, the number of deaths involving opioids have quadrupled, the commission added, citing data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
New Hampshire, which Mr Trump visited several times during his campaign for president, has been particularly hard hit.
According to the latest available data, more than 400 people in 2015 died as a result of a drug overdose in New Hampshire; more than 2.5 times the number that died of overdoses in 2011.
Proposals to cut up to 24 posts in the region and lose one fire engine from the Wrexham station are up for consideration at a meeting on 20 June.
North Wales brigade secretary Shane Price said: "The service has already suffered heavy cutbacks in staffing."
Deputy Chief Fire Officer Dawn Docx said there are a variety of money saving options on the table.
The Wrexham station currently has three engines.
The FBU's Mr Price said he felt the authority has failed to take into account how much support crews in Wrexham offered to surrounding fire stations like Johnstown and Chirk.
But Mrs Docx said the fire service's budget could no longer be frozen due to the cost of inflation and rising pension costs and the decision to reduce future services was "the least damaging option".
The authority's executive members met with senior fire officers in May to discuss future plans.
She said: "The working group had come to the conclusion that the option that they intend to explore further and consult on, would be the potential removal of a whole time pump from Wrexham by the end of this decade.
Once the full authority has agreed on its proposals there will be a full public consultation later in 2016.

Sharon Edwards, 42, denies murdering solicitor David Edwards, 51, with a kitchen knife at their home in Chorley, Lancashire, in August 2015.
Mr Edwards was found dead two months after the pair married in Las Vegas, Manchester Crown Court heard.
A police officer heard the defendant make the threat, the jury was told.
Mrs Edwards was witnessed grabbing her husband's shirt and saying she was going kill him during the early hours of 23 August, shortly after they returned from a Spanish holiday.
The jury was shown police body-cam footage of the couple outside the Duke of York pub, before they were escorted home "worse for wear" in a police vehicle.
In the footage, Pc Michelle Davies was heard telling a colleague how Mrs Edwards was "screaming" at her husband, and "swinging off his shirt".
During the journey the defendant was heard telling him: "I swear David, when I wake up tomorrow I don't know what mood I'm going to be in."
Later that day Mr Edwards was pronounced dead, having suffered a stab wound to the chest, the court was told.
A black handled kitchen knife measuring 13in (34cm) in length and stained with blood was found at their home.
The court has previously heard how Mrs Edwards was said to have "quite liked the idea of being a solicitor's wife", but they began to argue after he was told he was losing his job.
During a police interview after her arrest on suspicion of murder, Mrs Edwards said her husband had walked into the knife, and refused to accept that he was dead.
She said he had been drinking a lot since he lost his job and had been "really depressed", adding that he had taken the knife and pointed it in her direction.
She said: "I took the knife from David and he walked into it. But he's not dead. I'm not being rude but he's not dead.
"I have not murdered my husband and my husband is certainly not dead."
Specialist rescue teams from Pershore, Malvern and Droitwich were sent to help Lilly, a cocker spaniel who disappeared into the ground in Longdon, near Upton upon Severn.
The dry well had been hidden beneath undergrowth.
Crews ventilated the hole to make it safe for a firefighter to be lowered down and put the dog in a harness.
Lilly was unharmed by her adventure, which happened on Saturday and saw her stuck for about four hours.
At least 13 samples, taken from post-mortem examinations following unexplained deaths, were found stored at South Tyneside District Hospital.
Northumbria Police said 26 families were being contacted, with Cleveland Police dealing with 13 families.
Both forces admitted samples were kept "longer than necessary".
In a statement, Northumbria Police Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine, said: "We understand the gravity of this situation and the devastating affect it has had on the families involved.
"The human tissue samples of cases that happened many years ago have been identified and we have specially trained officers contacting relatives of 26 people to inform them of this.
"It is our priority to make sure this is done as quickly and sympathetically as possible."
The remains were found during an audit at the hospital in March 2015.
South Shields MP Emma Lewell-Buck said: "I think in terms of overall transparency, it's important that the public know the level of numbers involved.
"I'm very disappointed that it's happened in a hospital in my constituency and I think it's such a shame for those families.
"Something like this can just open it up [the grieving process] and it can feel like it just happened the day before all over again."
Sarah Simpson, whose father Terence died in a fall from a roof 22 years ago, said she was "appalled" to be told his tissue samples had been stored.
She said she was now considering legal action.
The Human Tissue Authority (HTA) said that significant improvements had been made to the systems governing the retention of human tissue samples.
The man, who has not been named, committed an offence of personation under election legislation when he pretended to be someone else to cast their vote.
Polling station staff knew the real person and recognised he was an imposter.
They reported the matter to Dyfed-Powys Police.
Det Con Robert Seymour, of the force's fraud team, said: "Members of the public must be aware that it is illegal to vote by pretending to be someone else, even if they've been asked to do it as a favour by the person they are pretending to be.
"Voters can always vote by proxy, which is different to the actions taken by the male on this occasion".
Jarryd Mandy was especially delighted to have Prof Robert Kelly's blessing.
Prof Kelly became famous when his live TV interview was interrupted by his happy children, oblivious to the importance of the moment.
Mr Mandy and his partner Lauren Martin were so taken by the viral clip that they thought: "It can't stop here".
Their cartoon The Adventures of Mina and Jack features the two children (names in real life: Marion and James) trying to help their father out with his important UN jobs.
It is slightly removed from their real lives but the personality that shone through when Marion strutted in to the room is well-reflected.
"She's gregarious, she's cunning, she's a go-getter," Mr Mandy said.
She also wears the same big glasses and cheeky smile as Marion.
Her little brother is in his walker - of course.
There are several more episodes on the way and Mr Mandy is hoping to fill a series if they can get financial backing. They put their own money in to hiring an animation company for a pilot episode, which is already online.
He and Ms Martin approached Prof Kelly before making the cartoon, and are hoping to meet the children next month.
The professor - now also known as "BBC dad" all over the internet - gave his public approval to the cartoon on Twitter, where he acknowledged that many of his followers were there because of the children.
Prof Kelly and his family live in South Korea while the couple live in the US.
Mr Mandy said his hope was that the cartoon would be educational. The first trip features a trip to North Africa; in future, he said, it would feature South Korea.
"We want them to bring exposure to different cultures," he said.
"You can really bring a character to life with a cartoon."
The attack took place in the Nowshera area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Police said one of the dead policemen, Ajmeer Shah, may have been the target.
Mr Shah had killed a prominent local Taliban commander, Jannat Gul, in a shootout a month ago.
Police said he had received threats from the Taliban and survived several attempts on his life.
Bits of the exploded suicide vest and parts of the limbs of the suspected suicide bomber have been recovered from the scene of the attack, police said.
They said the bomber was probably on foot, and set off the blast by a roadside near Risalpur town just as Mr Shah passed by in his private Land Cruiser jeep.
Mr Shah's driver was also killed in the attack. A police guard in the vehicle was injured.
Nowshera district has been the scene of several suicide attacks in recent months, the BBC's M Ilyas Khan reports from Islamabad.
The district is home to a major army garrison and an air force academy.
Much-travelled ex-Manchester City and Tottenham midfielder Brown will assist chairman Norman Smurthwaite's search for a new manager to replace Rob Page, following his exit for Northampton.
Birchall says that the 39-year-old's promotion was not unexpected.
"Browny's close to all the players," Birchall told BBC Radio Stoke.
"He knows their abilities and knows what is needed to come in and interact, and get the players playing for him. But he's still a great player himself. He still thinks he's got a lot to offer on the playing side.
"The players knew he'd take the step to the other side sooner or later. He's very professional and I'm sure he'll take that step into management one day soon."
Brown has clocked up 655 appearances, the last 53 of them with Vale, in his 22 seasons as a professional footballer, starting at Maine Road with City in 1994.
After loan spells while at City with Hartlepool and Portsmouth, he then moved to Sheffield United in January 2000 following an initial loan move.
He then returned to the top flight at Tottenham in 2004, since when he played for Fulham, Wigan Athletic, Portsmouth and Leeds United before his move to Vale Park in 2014.
He will now have a say on who steps in to replace Page in the Burslem hot seat, a job for which the return of former Vale boss Micky Adams for a third time has already been mooted in the media.
Chris Birchall is Vale's most capped international player, the 32-year-old Stafford-born wideman having played 23 times for Trinidad & Tobago.
He has so far spent three seasons back with the club where he began his career in 2001 - and he is one of 13 players offered new deals for next season, all of them on reduced terms.
"It's a weird situation that the retained list was put out by the manager and then he's the first one to go," said Birchall.
"Pagey did well on a limited budget. He was always looking to move on and nobody would blame him for doing what he's done.
"But it's always unsettling when a manager leaves. Players are in limbo as to whether they're going to be retained.
"My offer is as it sounds. The chairman was publicly saying that it was cuts to everyone. I took a cut last year and I've now been asked to take another cut.
"I'm a Vale fan, it's the club I love and I feel like I've been loyal. But, at times, you have to look elsewhere when offers are not what you've been expecting."
Birchall first left the Potteries in 2006 for Coventry City, where he spent three years before moving to Brighton.
He then spent three years in the United States with LA Galaxy, playing alongside David Beckham, and Columbus Crew, before returning to Vale Park in 2013.
The 23-year-old, in his eighth Test, was dropped three times but reached an entertaining hundred from 104 balls.
England claimed two wickets in five balls early on but left-hander De Kock shared in stands of 50 and 82 and was unbeaten on 129 as his team made 475.
In reply Alex Hales fell cheaply but Alastair Cook held firm with 67.
South Africa resumed on 329-5 with De Kock on 29 and added 146 runs in 42 overs before they were bowled out midway through the afternoon session.

Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada claimed two early England wickets, trapping Nick Compton for 19 with one that pitched halfway down the wicket but hit barely above the boots.
The increasingly uneven bounce will give South Africa, who have already lost the series, hope of a consolation victory.
England's new opener Hales, playing his seventh Test innings, struck three fluent boundaries in his 15 from 14 balls, with consecutive attractive strokes to the fence through the off-side off the back foot.
But in the sixth over he skewed a loose drive, which was comfortably caught at backward point.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan told Test Match Special: "It was a terrible dismissal. He gifted an opportunity and it is another one to put in the list of failures.
"He looks in two minds at the crease, unsure whether to go for the full-on aggressive shot or a checked drive."
Hales, who has passed 50 only once in seven innings in the series, is the eighth opening partner for Cook since the retirement of former skipper Andrew Strauss in 2012.
The current captain showed a welcome return to form, however, looking assured in his first fifty of the series - and the 47th of his Test career - and is only 50 short of becoming the first England player to score 10,000 Test runs.
Joe Root edged a delivery fractionally short of De Kock behind the stumps as the occasional ball misbehaved but England's two leading batsmen put on 60 to take them to the close without further loss.
Having reprieved centurions Stephen Cook and Hashim Amla with dropped catches on day one, England were guilty of further errors in the field as South Africa pressed on to a commanding first innings total.
In only the third over of the day De Kock scythed James Anderson to gully where a diving Ben Stokes could not grasp the chance.
On 80, De Kock edged the luckless Chris Woakes and bisected wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow and wide first slip Alastair Cook, neither of whom went for the catch.
Ten runs later, De Kock's drive at Moeen Ali went through the hands of Cook at short extra-cover.
The left-hander played an array of shots all around the wicket and was particularly severe on Moeen Ali.
He scored 45 runs off the spinner in only 28 balls, including two mighty leg-side sixes, one of which nearly landed on a cameraman behind the long-on boundary.
Former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher: "The pitch is not going to get any better; those cracks are going to widen. Batting from now on is going to be hard graft. In the last innings it will be a real lottery.
"You do feel that if South Africa get it right in a session, they will do some proper damage. You could have a session where England go 60-4."
Ex-England skipper Michael Vaughan: "There's going to be more low bounce over the next three days. You're under a lot of pressure when a team gets 475 on the board - you're only one bad session away from losing the match.
"If England get out of this Test with something, they'll have done brilliantly."
George Pisi's early try put Saints ahead but Lloyd Evans and Ross Moriarty crossed to give Gloucester the lead.
George North went over just before half-time to reduce the deficit and his second try, plus second-half penalties from Stephen Myler, clinched the win.
Gloucester finished their campaign in eighth, nine points off the top six.
Greig Laidlaw had kicked two first-half penalties for Gloucester, as well as converting both of the home side's tries.
England captain Dylan Hartley made his first appearance in seven weeks, coming on from Northampton's bench.
The hooker had been sidelined since being knocked unconscious against France in the final game of the Six Nations in March.
Victory saw Saints complete a league double over Gloucester, after their 15-3 win at Franklin's Gardens in November.
Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys:
"For the first 35 minutes, we were playing really well with ambition and accuracy.
"To build up a 20 points lead, that is time for us to kick on and win the game.
"Credit to Northampton, they came back but two of their tries came off our line-outs which is disappointing. It is not the reason we lost the game but it is very disappointing to finish the season like that."
Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder:
"It is a satisfying win but we are not getting carried away because we want to finish in the top four.
"It is the first time in a few years that we have not done that, but we have to regroup. You reset your targets and that was to beat Bath and to beat Gloucester and to qualify in fifth position, so we are pleased that we have managed that.
"The Premiership starting late, due to the Rugby World Cup, was a disruption this season."

St John's Point lighthouse at Killough dates back to 1839. It was used as a marker on a test run for the Titanic.
The building is now maintained by the Commissioners of Irish Lights, which plans to replace the sweeping beam with a static light-emitting diode (LED).
However, conservationists have begun a campaign to keep the existing light on.
The campaigners have enlisted the support of the South Down MP, Margaret Ritchie, who has written to both British and Irish governments, asking them to intervene to save the traditional lamp.
It follows a "heated" meeting at the weekend, when campaigners invited representatives of the commission to County Down to witness the strength of local opposition to the planned upgrade.
Eileen Peters, from Killough Community Association, told the Down Recorder that the lighthouse beam is of "cultural and historical significance" for the village and the surrounding area.
"There are those who love to see the lighthouse beam shining out across the bay and it's our understanding that the LED light will not stretch as far out across the water and that rather than rotate, will flash on and off," Ms Peters told the paper.
The Commissioners of Irish Lights is a maritime safety organisation based in the Republic of Ireland but which has responsibility for lighthouses and other coastal infrastructure throughout the island of Ireland, north and south.
The commission's director of operations and navigation services, Capt Robert McCabe, said the planned LED replacement would improve safety and reduce maintenance costs at the site.
Capt McCabe travelled to County Down for the weekend meeting and said he acknowledged the concerns of the campaigners and would consider their views.
He said the commission was "fully committed to maximising the potential of our heritage and history at St Johns Point" but he told the BBC that the commission's top priority was to provide the "best aid to marine navigation".
He added that it was important to remove mercury from the lighthouse, because of the risk that exposure to the element poses to human health.
The existing lamp has a Fresnel lens - an early 19th century invention that projects a long-distance beam using a modest light source.
The huge lens is the height of two average living rooms and weighs six tonnes. It rotates inside a mercury bath.
In a statement, Capt McCabe said the lens would not be removed from the lighthouse, but the replacement of "obsolete" filament lamps with an energy efficient LED light source would provide a "more reliable and better quality light".
"Environmentally it is also a far superior solution allowing the removal of mercury and gas oil from the station. Mercury, being a hazardous and poisonous substance, is being removed for health and safety reasons."
However, he campaigners said there has never been an incident of mercury poisoning at the site and argue that many lighthouses in parts of England have safely maintained their traditional lamps.
The area's MP said the Commissioners of Irish Lights were accountable to both the UK and Irish governments, due to their cross-border remit.
Therefore, Ms Ritchie has written to Prime Minister David Cameron, Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Enda Kenny and the UK and Irish transport ministers this week, asking them to step in to preserve the existing light.
Sinn Féin MLA Chris Hazzard, who helped to organise the campaign meeting in the nearby village of Ardglass last Saturday, said the residents' views must be taken into account.
He said many older members of the coastal community found the traditional sweeping beam "soothing" and reassuring, describing it as a source of "solace" in stormy weather.
Mr Hazzard said the commissioners removed the fog horn from St John's Point four years ago "without consultation" and the residents did not want the same fate to befall the traditional beam.
Capt McCabe agreed that heritage campaigners were not consulted about the fog horn, but said they did consult mariners, and added that fog horns were removed from all of their lighthouses in Ireland at the time.
The commissioner said the exiting light at St John's Point has a nominal visibility range of 24 miles, while the LED light has a shorter range of 18 miles, but said this was still well within safety limits.
He said the new light would be brighter and during power failures it could be backed up by a battery supply rather than a generator, cutting down on cost.
However, he said they were keen to try to find a solution that would meet the requests of both heritage campaigners and the requirement to modernise the lighthouse with the very latest navigation equipment.
Capt McCabe said two lighthouse keepers' cottages at St John's Point site were currently being renovated and added that the whole site has the potential to become a "top class tourist attraction" based around lighthouse history.
He added that commissioners would consider the campaigners' views carefully before applying for listed building consent to make changes to the lighthouse.
The lighthouse, which now stands about 130ft (40m) in height, has undergone many renovations since the Marquis of Downshire laid its foundation stone in 1839.
In 1875, the main light source was converted from oil to coal gas. By 1908 it was powered by vaporised paraffin and it was eventually converted to electric in 1981.
1981 was also the year that live-in lighthouse keepers were withdrawn and the building became automated, with a part-time attendant taking charge of the station.
The court said that acid should be sold only to people who show a valid identity card.
Buyers will also have explain why they need the chemical and sales will have to be reported to the police.
There will also be more compensation for victims. There are an estimated 1,000 acid attacks a year in India.
The victims, who have to live with terrible disfigurements, are mainly women and are often targeted by jealous partners, correspondents say.
In Thursday's ruling, the Supreme Court ordered that acid should be not be sold to anyone under the age of 18. It also ruled that there should be no bail allowed for the offence.
In addition, victims of acid attacks will be entitled to more financial help from state governments - the court said compensation of at least 300,000 rupees (£3,320; $5,000) must be paid to help rehabilitate them after their ordeal.
The Indian government has been accused of being too slow to deal with the issue of acid attacks.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court strongly criticised the government for failing to formulate a policy to reduce such attacks.
It says it wants to see these new measures enforced within the next three months.
Campaigners hope it will lead to a fall in the number of crimes committed, as happened in Bangladesh when it bought in restrictions on acid sales.
Acid attacks are a problem throughout South Asia, with cases also reported in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Campaigners say women who reject boyfriends, husbands or employers are often targeted by men using easily available and cheap chemicals.
Earlier this year, India introduced tough new legislation to counter violence against women.
The legislation contains harsher penalties for rapists, including the death penalty, and up to 10 years in jail for acid attacks.
A coalition of forces began an advance on the IS-held city, the second largest in Iraq, on Monday.
The UN human rights office says IS made the 200 families walk to Mosul from a nearby village on the same day.
The UN also said it was investigating reports 40 people had been shot dead by IS fighters in one village near Mosul.
The news came as IS fighters launched an attack on Kirkuk, 170km (105 miles) south-east of Mosul, killing 19 people, on Friday.

Zeid Raad Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said there was "a grave danger that ISIL fighters will not only use such vulnerable people as human shields but may opt to kill them rather than see them liberated," using an acronym for IS.
As well as the 200 families made to walk from the village of Samalia to Mosul, another 350 families moved from another village, Najafia, into the city, the UN says.
The organisation said this appeared to show IS was not allowing families to flee for territory held by the Iraqi army outside Mosul, and instead was making them move into the city.
"The killings and abuses committed by ISIL fighters when they captured Mosul in 2014, and the horrors they have subjected its inhabitants to ever since, should leave us in no doubt as to the risk civilians face," said Mr Hussein.
Civilians suspected of being disloyal to IS appeared to have been targeted already, Mr Hussein said. He did not identify the village where 40 people had been killed.
A UN spokesman said only "modest" numbers of people had so far fled Mosul as Iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters close in.

In Kirkuk, IS fighters attacked government buildings, killing at least six police officers, and a power station under construction, where 13 employees died.
Twelve IS fighters were also reportedly killed.
The BBC's Richard Galpin, in northern Iraq, said IS had attempted an "audacious" counter-attack on Kirkuk that had tried to show it was still a force to be reckoned with. The attack was "clearly aimed at diverting the Iraqi army" from Mosul, he said.
A state of emergency was declared and Friday sermons were cancelled as mosques remain closed.
District police chief Brig Gen Sarhad Qadir told the BBC suicide bombers and other IS fighters had attacked three police buildings and the headquarters of a political party in Kirkuk.
The governor of Kirkuk, Najm al-Din Karim, insisted that Peshmerga fighters and counter-terrorism forces were completely in control of the situation.
He blamed the attack on IS sleeper cells.
Officers said the man, who has not been named, was crossing Glassford Street, at its junction with Ingram St, at about 21:15 on Monday when he was struck by a First Bus.
He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary suffering from a serious head injuries and a fractured hip.
He has since been transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
Medical staff described his condition as critical but stable.
Neither the bus driver or any of the passengers were injured as a result.
Glassford Street was closed for five hours for inquiries.
Police said they did not have an age for the man.

The Welsh Government has asked social landlords to test tower block cladding.
But South West Wales AM Bethan Jenkins said there had been inconsistent statements and ministers needed to be clear quick action was required.
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said it was a "fast moving" situation and Ms Jenkins' comments were "misleading".
Meanwhile, Newport City Homes - a housing association that owns Newport's former council housing stock - has become the sixth council or housing association to confirm it is testing cladding.
All seven Welsh health boards are inspecting their properties.
Ministers said social landlords should test if they have a tower block cladding called aluminium composite material (ACM), which is similar to that used at Grenfell Tower - Reynobond PE.
Communities secretary Carl Sargeant previously said two areas had this type but refused to name them, saying tenants should be "given information before the media".
The Welsh Government said last week it was urging social landlords to conduct tests before the stance was toughened in a statement saying they were being told to do it.
But Mr Sargeant said on Wednesday he did not have the power to compel social landlords to conduct testing.
Ms Jenkins said: "So far, the main thing that we've seen from the government is just how unclear the response has been.
"The Welsh Government needs to be crystal clear and give declarative guidance on what to do for every local authority."
She said it needed to show leadership and "quick and decisive action" to keep people safe.
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "Bethan Jenkins' comments are misleading and unhelpful.
"This is a fast moving and complex situation and the position is changing frequently as landlords are continuing to investigate their stock and decide what next steps to take."
Mr Sargeant added: "Social landlords across Wales have checked cladding used on their high rise blocks and have assured us that none use the type of cladding found in Grenfell Tower, i.e Reynobond PE."
However, he instructed those with ACM panels to test them immediately and "engage with and reassure" tenants.
Newport City Homes said it was liaising with Building Research Establishment - which is conducting cladding tests - to test samples to provide "further assurances".
A spokeswoman said the landlord was "compliant with the relevant additional safety measures proposed".
She added: "Neither our contractor or manufacturer have used the terminology of ACM", and samples were being sent for testing as a precaution.
There are 35 tower blocks seven storeys high or higher in Wales - of which Newport City Homes has three.
Swansea, Anglesey council and three other housing associations have also said they are testing, with Anglesey and the housing associations confirming they have not used ACM.
Sie, who previously directed 2014 dance film sequel Step Up All In, takes over from Elizabeth Banks, director of last year's Pitch Perfect 2.
Production on the third film about an all-girl a cappella group was halted after Banks announced in June she would not return to the director's chair.
Banks, who stays on board as producer, announced Sie's involvement on Twitter.
"#PitchPerfect has a new leader," the actress wrote on Thursday, adding she was "so excited" Sie was on board.
Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and other cast members of the previous films in the series are expected to return for the third instalment, due to reach cinemas in December next year.
Pitch Perfect, released in 2012, made $115m (£86.6m) at the global box office, while its sequel took $287m (£216m) worldwide.

He released its handbrake before parking in the space on Pelican Lane, Newbury, on 29 December, police said.
They said there could have been "serious consequences", with South Central Ambulance Service calling the woman's condition "life-threatening".
Police released the details on Tuesday as they want to find the offender.
He is described as white, aged about 50 and is about 5ft 10ins tall with a slim build.
He was driving a red Mini Cooper with a registration plate starting RJ60.
The army denied it was taking over, saying the aim was purely "to preserve law and order".
But a quick look back in history shows that the military has often had a key role in shaping Thai politics.
Thursday's coup brings to 12 the number since the end of absolute monarchy in 1932, giving Thailand the dubious accolade of being one of the world's most coup-prone countries. Add to that seven attempted coups.
The right of the army to intervene in political affairs is even enshrined in law.
The leader of this latest coup, military chief General Prayuth Chan-Ocha, on Tuesday cited a 1914 act which gives the military the authority to declare martial law during a crisis.
Thailand has been under constitutional rule for more than 80 years, but for much of that time members of the army rather than civilians have held positions of power.
The first coup happened in June 1932, in a bloodless revolt that abolished absolute monarchy and introduced Thailand's first parliamentary elections.
Six years later, military leader Luang Phibun Songkram became prime minister.
After a short-lived civilian administration following the end of World War Two, the military launched a coup in 1947 and remained in power until 1973.
Just three years of civilian rule followed, before a bloody crackdown on student protesters returned control to the army.
More coups and unstable coalition governments led by appointed prime ministers brought Thailand to 1992, when pro-democracy protesters filled the streets of Bangkok demanding a return to civilian rule.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej famously stepped in and asked the generals and pro-democracy leaders to reconcile their differences. They did, and Democrat Party leader Chuan Leekpai took power.
The next coup to reshape Thailand is at the root of the political impasse which led to the latest military takeover.
In 2006 the flamboyant Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was toppled after being accused of corruption and abuse of power.
The army soon ceded power to a civilian government, but ever since there has been a power struggle.
On one side are those who support Mr Thaksin - and by extension his sister Yingluck, until recently the head of the now deposed government.
On the other are those who want Mr Thaksin's influence out of Thai politics for good.
Earlier this month, amid escalating violence between the two sides, the army warned that it "may need to come out... to restore peace and order".
General Prayuth said at the time that troops might have to end the violence "in full force".
His words have now in large part become reality: political gatherings are banned, a night-time curfew is in force, normal TV broadcasts have been disrupted and the constitution suspended.
The Thai army is once again playing a pivotal role in the nation's politics.
Speaking to the BBC's Panorama programme, Lord Kinnock said: "Unless things change radically, and rapidly, it's very doubtful I'll see another Labour government in my lifetime."
Labour announces whether Mr Corbyn or Owen Smith have won the leadership contest in less than a week.
Mr Corbyn insists he is "delighted" with the state of the party.
Lord Kinnock, who led the fight against left-wing extremism in the 1980s, when Labour was paralysed by faction fighting, said: "Not just in my lifetime but stretching back to the 1930s, by any examination this is the greatest crisis that the Labour Party has faced."
Mr Corbyn, however, appealed to Labour MPs in an interview to "come together" after the contest.
And an extraordinary olive-branch to hostile Labour MPs after the rebellion of the summer, and the failed attempt to force the leader's resignation, has emerged.
Mr Corbyn's closest friend and chief lieutenant at Westminster, shadow chancellor John McDonnell, said the Labour leader and himself were willing to take lessons in leadership.
"Tutorials" from former senior ministers and shadow ministers would answer accusations of incompetence, improve their performance in the House of Commons and improve relations with Labour colleagues at Westminster.
"A bit of tutoring from some old hands?", I asked him.
"Well, why not?" he replied. "Why not?"
Panorama spent the summer with the rival pro- and anti-Corbyn factions in Labour's biggest local party, Brighton and Hove.
The feuding there, and pressure from left-wing activists on the local MP, Peter Kyle, who is a critic of Mr Corbyn, mirrors the struggle taking place in many parts of the country.
There are accusations in Brighton, as elsewhere, of "entryism" - infiltration of the party by members with links to groups intent on pushing Labour further to the left.
The local chairman, Mark Sandell, has been named as a supporter of the far-left Alliance for Workers' Liberty, and is under investigation by the national party.
He told Panorama: "I don't see myself as an entryist.
"The Labour Party was founded by some really great socialists who wanted to get rid of capitalism, who wanted to change the world."
Mr Kyle is likely to face pressure from party members who want to sack him as a candidate at the next general election.
He said: "I think we are standing absolutely at the edge of a cliff and it might well be that one or other of the factions, or both of us, end up going over it.
"I really think it's that serious."
The leadership insists it is not seeking to purge the party of hostile MPs by seeing them deselected as candidates by left-wing local parties.
But the leader of the Unite union, Len McCluskey, told the programme: "I believe some of the MPs have behaved absolutely disgracefully and they've not shown any respect whatsoever to the leader.
"They should be held to account."
I asked Mr McCluskey if MPs who continued to be "vocal dissidents" if and when Mr Corbyn was re-elected would be "asking for it" when it came to the question of de-selection.
He said: "I think they would. I think anybody who behaves in a way that is totally disrespectful and out with the culture of the Labour Party is basically asking to be held to account."
After warnings and speculation Labour might split if Mr Corbyn is re-elected as leader, Labour MPs critical of his leadership have told me there is no appetite in the party for a schism, or any kind of organised break-away.
Some MPs who resigned from the shadow cabinet in rejection of Mr Corbyn's leadership have told me privately they are contemplating a return.
Mr Corbyn is said by his close allies to be willing to see at least a share of shadow Cabinet places allocated by a ballot of MPs.
But senior former shadow ministers contemplating a return are clear they will not pledge their faith in his leadership or competence to lead a Labour administration in government.
Mr Corbyn insists he is "delighted" with the state of the party and the surge in its membership.
He says young voters and the less well off in society could propel the party closer to power, and he denies that the idea of relying on past non-voters to deliver victory in future is "pie in the sky."
But there is no clear evidence Labour is prepared to reunite after the leadership contest.
Without unity, and without reconnecting to the millions of voters the polls say have turned their back on the party, Labour seems destined to languish in the political wilderness, broken as a major force in British politics.

Lucy Pygott, 17, from Hartley Wintney, and 16-year-old Stacey Burrows from Farnborough were out on a training run when they were hit by a Ford Focus.
A torch-lit procession, held exactly a week after the crash on Queen's Avenue, was followed by a two-minute silence.
Both girls were members of Aldershot, Farnham and District Athletic Club.
Lucy was this year's England Under-20 3,000m champion and European Youth Championships bronze medallist.
Stacey was the Hampshire Under-17 3,000m champion.
The club, which is based at the Aldershot Military Stadium, said the large number of flowers left at the crash scene have been moved to the stadium's car park as they were causing vehicles to stop on the road.
A serving soldier was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of careless driving while unfit through drink or drugs.
He has been bailed until February.
The Bank also kept the size of its bond-buying stimulus programme unchanged at £375bn.
The decision by the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) comes more than six years after the record low was introduced.
The half-dozen years of ultra-low interest rates have cut savings' returns, while mortgage borrowers have benefited from lower repayments.
Ultra-low inflation, which turned negative in April at -0.1%, has put on hold expectations about the Bank raising rates in 2015.
Last month, the Bank indicated in its quarterly inflation report that it was likely to raise the cost of borrowing in the middle of next year.
Meanwhile, recent ONS figures confirmed that UK gross domestic product (GDP) growth slowed to 0.3% in the first quarter, which was its worst showing since the end of 2012.
The nine-strong MPC has voted unanimously to keep rates on hold in all its previous meetings so far this year.
Howard Archer, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "The Bank of England was always a nailed-on certainty to keep interest rates at 0.5%. Indeed, the odds currently strongly favour the Bank of England sitting tight on interest rates (and on the stock of quantitative easing) over the rest of 2015."
He added: "We expect the Bank of England to start edging interest rates up in the first half of 2016.
"Current robust consumer activity and signs that housing market activity is picking up suggest that an interest rate hike early on in 2016 is becoming increasingly likely, although the softer set of purchasing managers surveys for May fuel uncertainty over the economy's current underlying strength.
"Much will clearly depend on how economic growth, earnings and productivity develop over the coming months, as well as just how quickly inflation moves up later on this year."
And the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said the MPC had made the "right decision" to keep interest rates and quantitative easing on hold.
BCC chief economist David Kern said: "Annual inflation has fallen marginally into negative territory over the past month, raising interest rates in real terms.
"And while inflation will edge up later on this year, it will stay below the Bank of England's 2% target for the next 12 to 18 months, reinforcing the case for maintaining interest rates for the time being."
His single-person all-terrain vehicle broke down and he became disorientated in whiteout conditions while working in a remote location on the Gaick Estate.
The gamekeeper stayed with his vehicle and used survival equipment he had been given by his employers.
Searchers found him early on Thursday morning.
He was located near the mountain Carn an Fhidhleir, near Glen Feshie.
An initial search on Wednesday began at 15:00 and at one point the searchers believe they came within a few hundred metres of where the man was sheltering.
The search was suspended at 03:30 on Thursday, before it was resumed at first light.
Conditions were too bad during the night for a coastguard helicopter to play a part in the search, but the aircraft and crew did manage to airlift searchers into the area and was involved again when the search was restarted.
About 40 people took part in the overall search which involved Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team supported by members of Lossiemouth-based RAF Mountain Rescue Team, Tayside Mountain Rescue Team and workers from Glen Feshie Estate.
Cairngorm MRT leader Willie Anderson said "This was a serious incident in very poor weather which took place on one of the remotest 3,000ft height mountains in our area.
"Although we had a number of leads, we were only able to narrow the search area down to an area of approximately 200 square kilometres and this area had to be covered in the dark, with blizzard conditions and a significant avalanche danger."
He added: " I am delighted with the outcome as we were really concerned about the weather and location. A tremendous effort by all involved."
Moses Pande, of Prinknash Road, Manchester, admitted six counts of sexual abuse at an earlier hearing at Manchester Crown Court.
The 23-year-old abused his victim between September 2014 and March this year, the court heard.
The girl was praised by police for the "bravery" she had shown in talking to officers about her ordeal.
Det Con Joanna Gordon, of Greater Manchester Police's Child Protection Unit, said she had been "robbed of her childhood and has had to go through the trauma of giving evidence".
She added: "The victim was terrified and I commend her bravery in speaking to us about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Pande."
The 21-year-old has been awarded an MBE for services to diving, along with his diving partner Chris Mears.
Laugher won gold in the men's synchronised 3m springboard with Mears, six days before taking silver in the individual category in Rio.
Paralympic rower Laurence Whiteley and classical singer Iestyn Davies are also honoured with MBEs.
Whiteley is to receive the accolade for services to rowing after winning gold in the mixed trunk and arm double sculls with Lauren Rowles.
The 25-year-old from Northallerton waited two years for a suitable rowing partner to come along, and the pair won silver in their first major competition together at the 2015 World Championships.
Countertenor Davies, from York, is appointed for services to music.
He has sung for a number of opera companies including the English National, Welsh National and New York City before his time as a Cambridge chorister under the music director George Guest. | A groundbreaking scientific study of cats has revealed new secrets about our feline friends.

Police Scotland said the deaths of the youths, one male and one female, were not thought to be suspicious, although work was continuing to establish the exact circumstances.
Festival organisers said they were "shocked and saddened" by the news.
More than 80,000 people are attending the three-day festival at Strathallan Castle in Perthshire.
Police said the teenagers were a 17-year-old male from the west of Scotland and a female of the same age from the north of England.
The deaths are not thought to be linked, and at this stage are not being considered suspicious.
Officers are investigating lines of inquiry, including the possibility that the deaths may be drug related, with event commander Chief Superintendent Angela McLaren warning "all persons attending the festival that there is no safe way of taking drugs".
The T in the Park organisers later took to Twitter to urge anyone with drugs at the festival to dump them in special bins saying those who did so would not get into trouble.
Festival director Geoff Ellis said: "We are shocked and saddened by today's news and our thoughts are with the families and friends at this time.
"We are offering our full support and assistance."
There have been deaths in previous years at the festival, which moved to its new location in Perthshire last year.
A 36-year-old man was found dead in the toilets in 2015, and a 24-year-old man collapsed and died during the night in 2010.
Revised travel and campsite plans have been put in place at this year's festival in an attempt to avoid a repeat of the traffic problems which marred last year's event.
Organisers said improvements included colour-coded zones, better signage and 24-hour dedicated management teams.
Police have also appealed for information after a cash machine was stolen from the main arena area at the festival.
Officers said the ATM contained a "significant amount of cash" and had been taken sometime between midnight and 07:00 on Friday.
The bikers had planned to cross Poland on their way to Berlin to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two in May.
The Polish government described their plans last week as "provocative".
The Night Wolves back Russian President Vladimir Putin's Ukraine policy - something strongly opposed by Poland.
The group is subject to US sanctions for alleged active involvement in Crimea - annexed by Russia from Ukraine last year - and for helping to recruit separatist fighters for Russian-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Russia's foreign ministry had already expressed "outrage" at Poland's ban.
The border guards, who did not specify that the bikers were Night Wolves members, said the 10 did not fulfil the conditions to enter and stay in Poland. Polish news agency PAP reported that the 10 were members of the Night Wolves.
They were held in a Polish facility at Terespol after Belarus frontier guards let them pass.
On Friday, the Polish foreign ministry cited safety concerns, saying the bikers had informed the Polish authorities of their plans too late and had provided vague information.
However, Polish media reports suggested some 200 Night Wolves bikers had managed to cross into Poland from the Russian Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad after obtaining visas, though they were not part of the group heading from Moscow to Berlin.
The Night Wolves' planned road trip through Poland stirred controversy because of the group's close association with Vladimir Putin and its support of Moscow's annexation of Crimea and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw says.
They are viewed in Poland as the "Kremlin's Hells Angels", he adds.
However, some Polish bikers are reported to view the Night Wolves favourably, with one group offering to escort them on their trip through Poland.
On Sunday, the Night Wolves stopped in Russia at a World War Two memorial to Polish soldiers killed in the Katyn massacre by the Soviet Union.
The Night Wolves intend to cross several countries on a 6,000km (3,720 mile) trip following the path taken by the Red Army in World War Two, with the aim of arriving in Berlin in time to coincide with Victory Day celebrations in Moscow on 9 May.
EDF, which would build the plant, had delayed a decision on the project in Somerset until the summer while it consulted French union representatives.
The company, which is 85% French state-owned, had hoped to win support from a committee of workplace representatives.
But the committee said staff had not been reassured about the plant's costs.
Trade union representatives hold six of the 18 seats on EDF's board.
Jean-Luc Magnaval, secretary of the Central Works Committee that EDF consulted with, told Newsnight that staff feared the cost of the project would cripple EDF.
He said: "We have reservations about several aspects of the project: organisation, supply chain, installation, and procurement.
"The trade unions are unlikely to give their blessing to the project in its current state.
All you need to know about Hinkley Point
"We are not reassured by the documents we have received. We have been given a marketing folder, not the full information we require.
"We got the documents on 9 May - we are sending EDF a request for more explanations."
On Monday French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron wrote to MPs on Westminster's energy select committee to reassure them the French government remained committed to the project.
But Mr Macron added: "It is also necessary, in the interests of all, that EDF follows due process before committing itself to an investment of this magnitude.
"The consultation of the Central Works Committee brings legal robustness on the decision."
EDF chief executive Vincent de Rivaz also told MPs on the committee that he did not know when a final decision on the project would be made.
Earlier this month, French President Francois Hollande said he would like the project to go ahead.
Hinkley Point C, which would provide 7% of the UK's total electricity requirements, had originally been meant to open in 2017.
But it has been hit in recent months by concerns about EDF's financial capacity to handle the project.
While one third of the £18bn capital costs of the project are being met by Chinese investors, Hinkley Point would remain an enormous undertaking for the stressed French company.
In March, Thomas Piquemal, EDF's chief financial officer, quit after his proposal to delay the project by three years was rejected by colleagues.
In April, French Energy Minister Ségolène Royale also suggested the project should be delayed.
Much of this scepticism is the consequence of problems in constructing nuclear power stations to similar designs elsewhere.
A plant being built by EDF at Flamanville in Normandy, northern France, has been hit by years of delays and spiralling costs.
Furthermore, since the company is nationally owned, the decision is also subject to political pressure.
A former energy adviser to the French government told Newsnight that while EDF did not technically need the backing of the trade union representatives, it would be very difficult, politically, to go ahead without it.
Yves Marignac said: "Going for it would for the government be crossing a red line in their relationship with the trade unions, which would make it really difficult for the government, particularly with the perspective of the next general election when they will need to get some support of the trade unions.
"Making a decision for the project is not possible right now. The political costs and the costs for EDF's financial situation are too high right now."
The Local Government Association says its ability to check if children withdrawn from schools in England and Wales are suitably educated is limited.
Currently, council officers can enter a premises only if they have specific concerns about a child's safety.
The government said it was "cracking down" on unregistered schools.
Councillor Richard Watts, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board, said the vast majority of parents who home-educated their children did a fantastic job.
They worked well with their local council to make sure that a good education was being provided, he said.
Concerns have been mounting about children being taught in illegal schools - those offering 20 hours of lessons a week which are not registered with the Department for Education (DfE), education watchdog Ofsted or local authorities.
There are fears some schools may have links to extremists and that lessons may be taught in dangerous buildings.
The chief inspector of Ofsted, Sir Michael Wilshaw, raised the issue in November 2015, and in February this year the DfE said it was investigating 21 such institutions in England.
In Wales, calls have been made for a mandatory home education register after an eight-year-old boy who had no contact with the authorities died from scurvy.
Any parent has the right to withdraw a child from mainstream education without giving a reason.
However, it is the duty of local education authorities to ensure young people in their areas are receiving a suitable education.
Councillor Watts said: "In some cases, a child listed as home-schooled can, in fact, be attending an illegal school.
"With limited powers to check on the work a child is doing, however, councils are unable to find out whether this is the case.
"They work closely with their communities to help identify where illegal schools are, but the ability to enter homes and other premises and speak to children would go a long way towards tackling the problem."
In May, Sir Michael said Ofsted was looking into 100 suspected illegal schools.
A DfE spokesman said it had "taken steps to ensure the system is as robust as it can be".
"We have announced an escalation of Ofsted investigations into unregistered schools, with additional inspectors dedicated to rooting them out, a new tougher approach to prosecuting them and a call to local authorities to help identify any settings of concern."
The vehicle, a cross between a small milk float and a large tuk-tuk, spent two weeks completing autonomous loops of a two-mile (3km) semi-pedestrianised area of Greenwich, south-east London.
The electric CargoPod has a top speed of 25mph and can do 18 miles on a single battery charge.
It can carry only eight crates and is not big enough to deliver large orders.
"We have chosen it to work specifically in this type of environment, where bigger vehicles are not allowed," said Graeme Smith, chief executive of robotics company Oxbotica, which developed the vehicle.
"This is not about trying to solve all the delivery problems in the world.
"Over the next two or three years, you should expect to see a lot more vehicles on the road from car companies, from delivery companies, from shuttle companies.
"We're very much at the start of this innovation."
The CargoPod trial was part of a broader £8m research project into driverless technology, using the Greenwich area as a test location.
For the purposes of the test, the van's speed was capped at 5mph and two people were inside for safety reasons.
It was fitted with three Lidar (laser) sensors and a stereo camera as well as standard sensors used in modern vehicles.
In order to complete the delivery, when it came to a stop one of the numbered crate doors would light up to indicate where the goods were stored.
The door would then open when the recipient pressed a button.
During the demonstration, journalists were not allowed inside the pod while it was on the move.
"The low speed, the lack of traffic, the safety drivers are all part of the test process we need to go through to make sure that driverless tech is really safe to use in the public," said Simon Tong, principal research scientist at the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
Online retailer Ocado has always sought to automate as many processes as possible within its business.
The company has previously demonstrated robots assembling delivery orders in its warehouses and is currently developing a humanoid maintenance engineer called Second Hands.
Chief technology officer Paul Clarke said driverless delivery was "a natural stage in the progression of our transport technologies".
"This technology is on its way. I think we need to adapt to it in the same way we've adapted to cars and other kinds of vehicles driving around us," he told the BBC.
However, he said, the company's 12,000 human employees were still important.
"We have two human touch points to our service - one is on the doorstep and the other is in our call centres, and they are both very precious to us," he said.
"We see this as being about choice. Some customers will want their full order brought to their kitchen table, others may want click and collect, others may be happy to come to the kerbside to interact with a driverless delivery truck."
Aidan Bocci, chief executive of Commercial Advantage, a consumer goods consultancy, said such services were "absolutely the future".
"More and more people are living in big cities and this satisfies a massive craving for convenience," he said.
"There will be demand, but the question is whether economically you can make it work."
While Amazon is developing a drone delivery service, Ocado had no immediate plans to follow suit, Mr Clarke said.
"Drone technology is very interesting to us, and we use it quite a lot in our business for surveying and looking around our large premises," he said.
"But do I think 35kg [77lb] of groceries are going to be flying over your head any time soon? No, I don't."
While politicians say the UK is at the forefront of driverless car technology - in its election manifesto the Conservative Party said the country was "leading the world in preparing for autonomous vehicles" - they are not nearly as visible as they are in places such as California, where 27 car manufacturers are testing vehicles.
"Given the regulatory environment, it's a lot easier to test driverless vehicles in the UK," said Prof David Bailey, from Aston Business School.
"Small firms are doing a lot of research, Jaguar Land Rover is doing a lot of research. But the big expenditure is taking place elsewhere."
They received death threats after supporting a move to describe the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide.
Germany's foreign ministry has warned MPs of Turkish origin against travelling to Turkey, saying their security there could not be guaranteed.
The German parliament's move outraged the Turkish government, which does not recognise the killings as genocide.
Germany's genocide vote inflames tensions with Turkey
The 11 MPs of Turkish origin who voted for the resolution have faced a backlash of negative opinion from the Turkish government and from within Germany's sizable Turkish community.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan castigated them, saying: "What sort of Turks are they?"
Ankara's mayor showed the 11 MPs in a tweet, saying they had "stabbed us in the back". According to German media, it was retweeted by many Turkish nationalists, some of whom made death threats.
And a group of Turkish lawyers has reportedly filed a complaint accusing the MPs of "insulting Turkishness and the Turkish state".
Earlier this month, Turkey recalled its ambassador from Berlin in fury after the German parliament voted overwhelmingly for the Armenian "genocide" resolution.
Turkish nationalists who rallied against the German MPs' vote made the sign of the Grey Wolves, a nationalist group that has murdered leftists and liberals in the past.
The leader of Germany's Green Party, Cem Ozdemir - who initiated the debate on the Armenian massacres in the Bundestag - told a newspaper he had been sent emails saying things like: "We will find you anywhere."
He said well-informed friends in Turkey had told him to take the threats seriously.
Armenians say up to 1.5 million of their people died in the atrocities of 1915, during the Ottoman Empire's collapse in World War One. Turkey says the toll was much lower and rejects the term "genocide".

Khoisan community Chief Daantjie Japhta said he was disgusted that a monument which "brought us dignity" had been defaced, local media reports.
A plaque at Sarah Baartman's burial site in South Africa's Eastern Cape province was splashed with white paint.
Known as the "Hottentot Venus", she was buried in South Africa in 2002.
For the latest news, views and analysis see the BBC Africa Live page.
Several monuments have been vandalised in South Africa in recent months, as tensions over colonialism and apartheid resurface.
Police say they are investigating the weekend defacement of the world-famous burial site.
An indigenous Khoisan woman, Sarah Baartman was taken from her homeland in 1810 after a ship's doctor told her that she could earn a fortune by allowing foreigners to look at her body.
Instead, she became a freak-show attraction investigated by supposed scientists and put under the voyeuristic eye of the general public.
She was forced to show off her large buttocks and her outsized genitalia at circus sideshows, museums, bars and universities.
After she died, penniless in 1816 aged 26, parts of her body were displayed in a museum in Paris.
Her remains were returned to South African in 2002 and she was buried and hailed an icon for women who still faced racial and sexual abuse.
About 20 Khoisan leaders condemned the defacing of the heritage site at an emotion-charged press conference on Monday.
"People want to plunge the country into a divide. The writing up on South Africa's coat of arms means unity in diversity," Chief Japhta said.
Earlier this year, the statue of British colonialist Cecil Rhodes had human excrement thrown at it at the University of Cape Town.
The university then agreed to remove the statue following pressure from students and academics who said they did not want a colonialist to be honoured.
However, there has been a backlash from some white South Africans who have rallied to protect the statues of the 19th Century president Paul Kruger in the capital Pretoria, and 17th Century Dutch colonialist Jan van Riebeeck in Cape Town.
White-minority rule ended in South Africa in 1994 with the election of Nelson Mandela as the first black president.
Government officials have condemned the attacks on statues, and say a decision on their future will be taken only after consulting all groups.

The story centres around a night of drunken debauchery by an elite Oxford dining society at a country gastropub.
"We really wanted to get our hands in again and bring it into absolutely now," said Wade, after the play's West End opening night on Wednesday.
The Royal Court production is at Duke of York's Theatre until 4 August.
Directed by Lyndsey Turner, the cast includes Leo Bill, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Max Bennett and Harry Lister Smith.
Posh first opened at the Royal Court in 2010 in the run-up to the general election. It became one of the highest-grossing shows ever to play in the theatre.
Two years on, the script has undergone what Wade calls a "quite large rewrite" to reflect the new coalition government and the Greek economic crisis.
"Two years ago those characters were living under a Labour Government and now they're not, so they have different reasons to feel disenfranchised," she told the BBC.
"We wanted to add things that felt relevant to now but not those that were flash-in-the-pan - for example doing a 'pasty-gate' joke would have felt a bit cheap."
Critics have drawn parallels between Posh's Riot Club and the real-life Bullingdon Club (past members include David Cameron, George Osborne and Boris Johnson). But Wade is keen to point out that her characters are purely fictional.
She is currently working on adapting Posh into a feature film, with several drafts already completed.
A graduate of the Royal Court Young Writers Programme, Wade's first play for the Royal Court in 2005, Breathing Corpses, won her the Critics' Circle theatre award for most promising playwright.
So how posh does the Bristol university graduate consider herself?
"I'm not posh at all. I grew up in Sheffield but never managed to pick up the accent - which was careless because there'd be some cache now in being a northern playwright, but I missed out on that one.
"I think the interesting thing about the word 'posh' is that it is so relative, it's quite a provocative title because people have strong feelings about that word."
The Cat Survival Trust spent six hours trying to lure Rajah out of his cage at Borth Animalarium and into a transport box with a trail of meat.
Three people made several attempts to coax Rajah out but he was suspicious of the transport box.
Last year the zoo was fined and told the animals would be removed for not having the correct paperwork.
The team from the Cat Survival Trust in Hertfordshire, which looks after unwanted or surplus zoo cats, arrived at the animalarium at 0715 BST on Wednesday, and started work at 0900 BST.
It said it would plan another attempt to remove the animal, while owner Jean Mumbray has lodge an appeal against the leopard's removal.
The trust, which has been asked by Defra [the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs] to remove 15-year-old Rajah and two black and white ruffed lemurs, tried to coax the leopard from its cage into a rectangular-shaped box with a trail of chicken and rabbit.
Rajah ate most of the food near him, and at one stage three-quarters of his body was in the trap.
Terry Moore, the Cat Survival Trust's honorary director, said: "There are always one or two awkward cats and this and this was one of them.
"This leopard was really cautious and is one of the brighter cats in captivity.
"We did gain his confidence and it got three-quarters down the box. In the end he'd had enough food, but we're confident our next attempt will be successful."
Paperwork delays
The trust's first attempt to remove Rajah, in April, ended in failure after five hours when he refused to be enticed into a box with meat.
But they were hoping to be more successful in removing two ruffed lemurs from the site, having previously removed two ring-tailed lemurs.
Dyfed-Powys Police officers and a vet were also at the scene.
Jean Mumbray and her husband Alan have said they took on Rajah six years ago after his previous owner emigrated.
They claimed the leopard was born in the former Basildon Zoo, Essex, but delays in paperwork meant they were unable to prove his background until the court order had been granted.
Mrs Mumbray described the trust's latest attempt to move Rajah as "rather horrible", and said she had lodged an appeal against his removal and that of the lemurs.
A judge told Ian McGregor, 30, that his frenzied attack on Elspeth Burns, 57, at her Kelso home in October 2016 had been "cowardly and vicious".
The High Court in Glasgow heard that McGregor had been asked to leave the flat for telling an offensive joke but later returned and knifed his victim.
He was convicted after trial of attempting to murder Ms Burns.
Sentencing McGregor, Lord Summers told him: "You have been convicted of attempted murder.
"Your victim suffered multiple stab wounds to her body and throat. She was fortunate to live.
"She was alone and in bed when you carried out this cowardly and vicious attack."
McGregor left the flat after telling the joke, but returned later and attempted to kill Ms Burns as she lay in bed suffering from a migraine.
She suffered a punctured lung and an injury near her carotid artery in the attack.
McGregor had denied the attempted murder and claimed he was elsewhere when Ms Burns was repeatedly stabbed, but he was unanimously convicted.
He was also found guilty of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by trying to destroy evidence.
Unemployed McGregor said in evidence that the atmosphere in the flat "seemed okay" but accepted he had been asked to leave after telling a joke that was "quite offensive".
McGregor told defence counsel David Nicholson he had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and suffered "crippling social anxiety".
He had eight pages of previous convictions including serious assault, assault, drugs offences and breach of the peace.
The court was told that McGregor continued to maintain his innocence.
Following the sentencing, Det Insp Keith Mackay said: "This was a vicious and unprovoked attack on a woman in her own home that left her fighting for her life.
"I am satisfied that our robust investigation led to Ian McGregor's prompt arrest and I would like to thank the community too for their co-operation and information that assisted our inquiries."

The crowds were celebrating after Mr Barrow was sworn in as president in neighbouring Senegal, where he is for his own safety. They began chanting "CDS" - short for chief of defence staff - when he mingled with them.
Earlier Mr Badjie was quoted as saying that his men would not fight regional troops on a mission to oust long-time ruler Yayha Jammeh, who has refused to step down.
Under the headline DO NOT PUB Kirk Douglas Dies, the magazine accidentally posted a pre-written tribute to the actor, who turns 98 this month.
The post listed details about Douglas's life and career spanning six decades, including his 1956 Vincent Van Gogh biopic Lust for Life.
The obituary, which sparked reaction on Twitter, has been removed.
It is unclear whether the tribute, which had a date stamp of 29 September, had been online for two months.
It read: "Kirk Douglas, one of the few genuine box-office names to emerge just as TV was overtaking American culture in the years right after World War II, died TK TK TK. He was 97 (DOB 12/9/1916) and had been in good health despite having suffered a debilitating 1996 stroke that rendered his speech difficult."
Douglas starred in his first movie in 1946 - the classic film noir The Strange Love of Martha Ivers.
His other films include Gunfight at the OK Corral, Lonely Are the Brave and Cast a Giant Shadow.
The actor has received three Oscar nominations during his career, for Lust for Life, The Bad and the Beautiful and Champion.
Although he never won, Steven Spielberg presented him with an honorary Academy award in 1996.
It is common for media outlets to write obituaries of celebrities or important figures in advance.
In 2008, Bloomberg made a similar mistake when it reported Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had died, three years before his actual death in 2011.
People has yet to comment on its Douglas error.
Images published in a newspaper in the Maldives show several small objects it said had been found on one atoll.
But Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said it was too soon to say if they were connected to flight MH370.
The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off its course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
The plane is long believed to have crashed into the southern Indian Ocean - though no evidence was initially found despite a massive search operation.
The reports in the Maldives come just days after debris found on the remote French Indian Ocean island of Reunion were confirmed to be from the missing plane.
"We will be dispatching a team to the Maldives to view the debris as well as conduct preliminary verification of the debris," Mr Liow said in a statement on Monday.
"Undue speculation will only stress the families and loved ones, anxiously awaiting news on this matter," he added.
Experts have already cast doubt on the find, and a report in the Haveeru newspaper said the captain of a barge that capsized in February believed the debris was from his vessel.
"From the pictures of the debris found on most of the islands, I can almost certainly say that they are from the cargo we were carrying," Capt Abdulla Rasheed told the paper.
Meanwhile, the French authorities are continuing their search for debris around Reunion Island after part of the wing of the Malaysia Airlines jet was found last month.
Tests are still being carried out on that debris but Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said last week that experts had "conclusively confirmed" it was from MH370.
"We now have physical evidence that [...] flight MH370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean," Mr Najib told reporters.
Australia has been leading the search for the plane in the area it is believed to have gone down, some 4,000km (2,500 miles) east of Reunion.
On Friday a judge ordered her release and set bail at about $10,500 (£6,200).
The girl, thought to be 14 years old but with a younger mental age, was arrested last month after a mob accused her of burning pages of the Koran.
Last week an imam was remanded in custody, accused of planting burned pages of the Koran in the girl's bag.
The case against the girl, known as Rimsha, has sparked international alarm and has been condemned by human rights groups.
Blasphemy is not a bailable offence but her lawyers pleaded that she was a juvenile.
The girl's lawyer said she had been released after two guarantors posted a bond against assurances that she would reappear in court, the AFP news agency said.
Pakistan's minister for national harmony said the girl was transported by helicopter to a safe location where she was met by her family.
Her father had previously said he feared for his daughter's life and for the safety of his family.
Rimsha's parents were taken into protective custody at an undisclosed location following threats. Many other Christian families fled the neighbourhood after her arrest.
Rights activists have long urged Pakistan to reform its blasphemy laws, under which a person can be jailed for life for desecrating the Koran.
In March 2011 Shahbaz Bhatti, the minister for minority affairs, was killed after calling for the repeal of the blasphemy law.
His death came just two months after the murder of Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, who also spoke out about the issue.
Blasphemy is a highly sensitive issue in Pakistan, where 97% of the population are Muslim.
In the past accusations of blasphemy have led to vigilante killings by mobs.
A pro-Basque independence and environmental group called Bizi has been given responsibility for the disarmament, according to one activist speaking to France's Le Monde.
The interior minister said Eta "won't get anything in exchange".
Eta declared a ceasefire in 2011 but is yet to relinquish its weapons.
The group killed more than 800 people over four decades of violence.
It was set up more than 50 years ago in the era of Spanish dictator General Franco to fight for an independent Basque homeland.
However, in recent years it has been sapped by the arrest of hundreds of members, including leadership figures, and the seizure of weapons caches.
"Eta has handed us responsibility for the disarmament of its arsenal and, as of the evening of 8 April, Eta will have completely handed over its weapons," Txetx Etcheverry, an activist with Bizi, was quoted as saying in Le Monde.
The 8 April date was also given by an unnamed source close to talks quoted by the AFP news agency.
No formal announcement has yet been made and the Spanish government has so far declined to make any detailed comment.
But in a tweet, Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said: "What Eta must do is dissolve itself and disappear. It has had time to disarm and it must know that it won't get anything in exchange."
What is Eta?
Eta ceasefire scoop: how the BBC got the story
In 2014 the International Verification Commission of international inspectors said Eta had taken some of its weapons out of action, but the Spanish government dismissed the move as "theatrical".
Spanish media say recent seizures of arms have been quite small, which they say indicate Eta does not have many weapons left - giving its disarmament a predominantly symbolic character.
Coutinho stated his desire to leave via email. The club rejected the request.
On Wednesday, the Reds rejected a 100 million euros bid (£90m) from Barcelona for the 25-year-old, who is out of Saturday's trip to Watford with injury.
In a statement on Friday, the club's owners said its "definitive stance" was that "no offers will be considered".
Speaking at an earlier news conference previewing the league match at Vicarage Road (12:30 BST kick-off), Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said the Brazilian would miss the season opener because of a back problem.
Klopp said he was also a doubt for Tuesday's Champions League play-off first leg at Hoffenheim as he had "not been in training since last Friday".
Coutinho, who scored 14 goals in all competitions last season, signed a new five-year deal in January that did not include a release clause. He joined Liverpool from Inter Milan for £8.5m in 2013.
Barcelona have also had a bid rejected for Borussia Dortmund's 20-year-old forward Ousmane Dembele since they sold Brazil forward Neymar to Paris St-Germain for a world record £200m last week.
The German club confirmed they met Barca representatives but the offer did not meet their valuation of the France international.
BBC Sport's Simon Stone
Less than three weeks before the end of the transfer window, Liverpool now find themselves in a very tricky position. The club are adamant they will not sell - but what about the player?
As I understand it, Coutinho does not want to fall out with Liverpool, or their fans, and spoil what has been an enjoyable four-and-a-half years at Anfield.
However, the brutal truth is Barcelona are currently a more successful club.
Almost as important is the fact that they, and Real Madrid, hold an attraction for most South American players that is difficult to resist, as Liverpool experienced with Luis Suarez.
Little wonder Coutinho is desperate to make the move.
BBC Radio 5 live's Ian Dennis
Liverpool's stance remains the same but this is significant with a change of attitude from the player.
Previously it seemed Coutinho was content to take an amicable approach. However, his request submitted via email is designed to try and force the issue.
The club are adamant that no offers will be considered but what are the repercussions regarding the relationship with Coutinho and the fans now?
Liverpool are resolute he's not for sale and are in a position of strength because he's under contract until 2022.
L/Cpl Craig Roberts, from Conwy county, died during the Brecon Beacons march on one of the hottest days of 2013.
L/Cpl Edward Maher and Cpl James Dunsby also collapsed and later died.
At their inquest on Tuesday, an SAS soldier rejected claims he told L/Cpl Roberts's family the march went ahead "to save on paperwork".
Coroner Louise Hunt has previously heard the family say the commanding officer, known as 9L, offered the response when asked why the date of the march was not changed.
"Those aren't the words that I recollect," he told the hearing in Solihull, West Midlands.
The soldier said his unit was "deeply shocked" and "deeply sorry" about the reservists' deaths.
However, he added: "I think it's fair to say we could not have seen this accident beforehand, if we could, we would have made changes."
Earlier, the soldier, who was in charge of monitoring and logging the participants' movements using GPS trackers, denied falsifying records.
Soldier 1C said his written log was handed over to special forces officials immediately after the march and stored at its headquarters in Hereford, Herefordshire.
When asked by the coroner if he had "created" handwritten timings after the tragic events to clarify what happened, he replied: "No, ma'am. This list was produced on the day when those times were."
The inquest heard each participant had a tracker which sent co-ordinates, or "pinged", back to a satellite every 10 minutes. These then appeared on a laptop.
Soldier 1C said he "can't remember" if a "slow-mover" alarm, which flags up when soldiers are stationary, was activated that day.
A map tracking the movements of L/Cpl Maher showed he became static at 14:16 BST, while soldier 1C said he had not noticed until 16:40.
"I can't concentrate on one specific student because we've got other students that are tired, fatigued, that I've got to keep an eye on too.
"The only thing I can say is we were sat watching the rest of the students," he added.
Soldier 1C told the hearing that directing staff had not said anyone was "under any duress".
The inquest also heard Cpl Dunsby's lack of movement went unnoticed for one hour and 23 minutes.
Soldier 1C said he had been monitoring the screen, with breaks, for nine hours, but pointed out he had previously undertaken 36-hour shifts while on operational duty.
L/Cpl Roberts, 24, from Penrhyn Bay, L/Cpl Maher, 31, from Winchester, Hampshire, and Cpl Dunsby, 31, from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, were carrying 50lbs (22kg) of equipment during the fatal march.
The inquest continues.
Stephen Calcutt, 52, captured images while using public transport in Birmingham for work.
Now his photos will be on show at the London Art Biennale from 29 March.
He said: "Some people might love it, some might hate it. But it's unique."

Armed with his Sony A600 camera, the amateur photographer was inspired while waiting for a bus in the city about six months ago, looking through a scratched acrylic window.
"I was actually annoyed because it was ruining the view," Mr Calcutt, from Solihull, said.
But he snapped away anyway, and when he loaded his images on to a computer at home, he saw they had potential.
"Once I enhanced the colours, and played around with the shadow and contrast, they looked a bit like abstract paintings," Mr Calcutt said.
He entered some images to online gallery World Street Photography, and also contacted other galleries about his work, landing a spot in the annual exhibition of contemporary art in Chelsea, London.
Mr Calcutt travels around Birmingham for his job as a domiciliary care worker, and finds the richest spots for his photography in some of the busiest and noisiest urban areas.
One of his favourites is the Maypole area of the city on the number 50 bus route.
"I just take pictures of what I see. Maybe one day there will be an altercation and I'll capture that," he said.
Mr Calcutt knows his work might not be to everyone's tastes.
He said: "I look at some abstract art and I think, 'what is this'? These pictures have the same effect.
"The graffiti is blocking the view. It's vandalism. But I'm making something positive out of something I don't agree with."
Bakers, barristers and baristas will join the cabbies on a 100m (330ft) catwalk in Piccadilly Gardens.
The parade comes from an idea by artist Jeremy Deller and is the Manchester International Festival's opening event.
Many taxi drivers gave stranded people free lifts after last month's bombing.
They will be among 150 ordinary people who will walk down the runway, with hundreds more expected to watch.
Sam Arshad, co-owner of taxi company Street Cars, is among those taking part.
He was driving past the arena on the night of the attack on 22 May, and returned to the office to handle calls from survivors and their families.
"People were calling up with panicked voices," he said. "A lot of worried parents trying to get their children home safe.
"That's when we realised the severity of it all.
"At that point, I reached out to the drivers and said, 'We need to do our bit and to help these people in their time of need.'"
Mr Arshad predicted Thursday's catwalk show would be "a bundle of joy" - and joked that he had been watching Beyonce videos to get inspiration for some moves.
"It just shows that we're the faces of Manchester, aren't we?" he said.
"We're the first people who are going to be out there strutting our stuff, showing what kind of people we are and as a society how we can come together at a time like this to show the kindness and happiness that Manchester produces."
They will be joined on the catwalk by dancers, drag queens, football fans, a chef, a Syrian refugee, dog walkers and some famous faces - whose identities haven't been revealed.
"Rather than putting a bunch of models on it, we're putting the people of Manchester, and it's going to be a very beautiful celebration of the city," festival director John McGrath said.
"Each person who goes onto the runway in a way is an image and a portrait of Manchester - the people who make up the city, the people who make the city special, people you might know, people you might walk past on the street."
808 State musician Graham Massey will join forces with local buskers to create a live soundtrack.
The event, titled What Is The City But The People?, will kick off the sixth Manchester International Festival - the first with Mr McGrath as artistic director.
It begins at 18:30 BST on Thursday and will be streamed on the BBC's Manchester International Festival live page.
The catwalk show will be followed by the first of five concerts by Mancunian band New Order, playing in an installation created by artist Liam Gillick in a former Granada TV studio.
They will be joined by a 12-strong synthesiser ensemble from the Royal Northern College of Music.
The festival will continue until 16 July, with more music, art, drama and dance.

Sid Rollason, who died aged 100 on 12 August, kept his service medals on display in the sitting room of his Bilston home.
He served in Africa, Greece and Italy during the conflict.
West Midlands Police confirmed it is investigating the theft.
The break-in is believed to have taken place between 09:00 on 18 August and 07:30 BST on 21 August.
More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country
Aside from his wartime service Mr Rollason lived his whole life in Bilston, and was married to wife Dolly for 77 years until her death last year.
The couple had three children, five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
His family has now launched an appeal on social media to find his medals.
Rory Rollason, from Coseley, said it was desperate to find his great-grandfather's decorations.
"They completely trashed the house and when we were down there we found they'd taken the World War Two medals," the 16-year-old said.
"It's shameful that they've been stolen like that."
Paul Rollason said his grandfather's wartime service was an important part of the family's history.
"[Dolly] always told a story of going to the cinemas and seeing him on the Pathe News - the only way she knew he was still alive," he said.
"We cannot believe that someone would break in. Obviously it must be someone who was aware of the situation."
"I don't know why people keep writing about this," said Spacey.
"I've been offered no role, I've never read a script, no, I am not doing the next James Bond movie."
Director Sam Mendes is returning to take charge of the 24th Bond film, following the enormous success of 2012's Skyfall.
"I don't know who started the rumour but stop it," Spacey told BBC News.
Skyfall became the highest grossing film of all time at the UK box office, and took more than $1bn globally.
Spacey worked with British director Mendes on the 1999 Oscar-winning film American Beauty and the pair reunited for the Bridge Project's 2011 staging of Shakespeare's Richard III.
"Obviously if he (Mendes) wanted me he would've offered me the role," Spacey continued.
"I don't even know if there is a role frankly."
Spacey's recent Shakespearean role, under the direction of Mendes, can currently be seen in the documentary Now: In the Wings on a World Stage.
The film tracks the cast of players of Richard III starting in London, taking in Doha, Singapore, Sydney, Naples and moving to other cities around the world before ending in New York.
The decision to make a cinematic documentary rather than film the stage play was a simple one, according to Spacey - who is currently on stage in the one-man show Clarence Darrow, which marks the end of his 10-year tenure as artistic director of London's Old Vic theatre.
"Well, it's not that we didn't want to film the play," he explained.
"We just couldn't raise the money. That's the honest answer to that."
The political drama House of Cards is also returning for a third series on Netflix, with Spacey in the lead role of Frank Underwood.
He has admitted to having "no idea" how long that series will continue but added he is "enjoying it very much".
"It seems that audiences are as well, so you know, I see no reason why it can't go on for a while."
Now: In the Wings on a World Stage is in cinemas from 9 June and available to download from 10 June via nowthefilm.com
SIMEC and Liberty House, two members of international industrials group GFG Alliance, expect their purchase to be completed in the next four weeks.
The purchase includes hydro power plants near the site and at Kinlochleven.
It involves more than 100,000 acres of land including Ben Nevis' foothills.
Liberty, which reopened the steel plate mill at Dalzell in Motherwell, and SIMEC is funding the deal with a mixture of equity and funds raised through a securitisation programme.
The companies said their investment in Lochaber was being backed by the Scottish government through a variety of business support mechanisms, in particular through support for a Liberty contract to purchase power from the hydro-electric plants.
SIMEC and Liberty said the smelter and its associated assets would fit in well with their other business interests.
Rural Economy and Connectivity Secretary Fergus Ewing, Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch MSP Kate Forbes and Highland Council have welcomed the announcement of the deal.
Mr Ewing said: "The sale of both the smelter and hydro power station increases the chance of the site having a viable, long-term future.
"This is great news for the whole local community and especially for the workers at the smelter.
"Subject to all necessary agreed processes, the deal implemented will safeguard 150 jobs and has the potential to create hundreds more."
He added: "I want to thank Rio Tinto for their positive engagement with ministers and officials throughout the process and I will be sorry to see the company move out of Scotland after such a long association."
Ms Forbes said: "My hope was always to preserve jobs and continue operations at the smelter, but I think that Liberty House's ambitions for the smelter could put Fort William in the driving seat of industrial expansion, career opportunities and sustainable economic growth.
"Innovation and community benefits were the foundation stones on which the smelter and the hydro scheme were first founded - new villages were built and electricity was generated in Lochaber before anywhere else in Scotland."
The smelter near Ben Nevis has been in existence for almost 90 years.
Rio Tinto announced in January that it was reviewing its operations there. Last month, the company confirmed it was in negotiations to sell the plant.
Murray lost the first set from 5-2 up and let a similar lead slip in the second before taking the tie-break, and going on to win 5-7 7-6 (7-3) 6-0 6-2.
The Scot, seeded second, will face holder Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland in the last four on Friday.
Third seed Wawrinka beat Spain's Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-2 6-1 7-6 (9-7).
Murray has now won his last 10 matches, having won the Italian Open last month, and is through to his fourth French Open and 19th Grand Slam semi-final.
In the other half of the draw, rain delays mean the quarter-finals between Novak Djokovic and Tomas Berdych, and David Goffin and Dominic Thiem, will be played on Thursday.
Murray had won all four previous Grand Slam meetings with Gasquet but gave the Frenchman every opportunity to improve on that record.
The Briton earned a 5-2 lead before his early success with drop shots disappeared, and double faults at key times helped Gasquet run through five straight games.
A similar pattern followed in the second set, as Murray again failed to serve out from 5-2 and fell 3-1 down in the tie-break, but he gathered himself to finally take control with six straight points.
The Parisian crowd had been hoping their man could emulate Yannick Noah's title-winning run of 1983, but Gasquet's challenge faded dramatically in the third set.
After the first two sets took well over two hours, Murray raced through the third in 27 minutes, and a sharp forehand volley gave him the decisive breakthrough early in the fourth.
"Stop it!" shouted Murray after his fourth double fault of the afternoon but it did not signal another collapse, and the world number two reeled off 13 of the last 15 games to win in three hours and 23 minutes.
The poor weather in Paris meant Murray was playing for the first time since beating John Isner on Sunday, and he felt that was behind his inconsistent form in the early stages.
"It wasn't easy for me today," said the Scot. "I played two guys where you get zero rhythm, against [Ivo] Karlovic and Isner.
"Then a two-day break where you're barely hitting any balls because of the conditions. It was 30, 40 minutes of hitting.
"Then coming out and playing a completely different match today, I thought I did well for the most part in a tough atmosphere, too. It's not bad. I was playing some good stuff. I finished the match extremely well, I think."
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
"It is unusual to see Murray concede a 5-2 advantage once, let alone twice, but Gasquet deserves huge credit for the way he played in the opening two sets. The drop shot had been Murray's trump card in the early exchanges, but Gasquet started to read it, and given the physical nature of the match, a two-set deficit would have been very hard to retrieve.
"With Gasquet visibly tiring in the third set, Murray dragged him from one side of the court to the other as he soon assumed complete control.
"Murray has now played 20 sets in 5 rounds, but both he and Wawrinka have the benefit of a day off which won't be afforded to the quarter-finalists in the other half of the draw."
Gatland says Wales can build on a big finish in which they scored two tries.
"The courage to carry on playing and not to drop their heads and give up, that's a big tick in the box," he said.
"We had 58% territory and possession tonight and that's a massive number for us against the All Blacks, we've never done that before."
Wales had led the first Test after an hour seven days earlier only for the All Blacks to score 21 unanswered points.
In Wellington, the scores were tied at 10-10 at the break with the hosts crossing four times before late Wales tries by Liam Williams and Jonathan Davies.
"I'm pretty proud of that performance," said Gatland.
"There were two or three key moments in the game and that's the difference.
"We're creating chances and the players are already aware of a couple of things that in the same situation next week they will do it a little bit different because they've learned from tonight and last week."
Gatland takes his side to Dunedin for the third Test next Saturday when Wales will be looking for a first win against the All Blacks after a 28-match losing streak stretching back to 1953.
New Zealander Gatland hopes his players can emulate the manner in which Steve Hansen's side secured their win.
"They are clinical and those are the small margins that we need to be better at," said Gatland.
"It's about freshening them up this week and having a real crack at the All Blacks in Dunedin."
After the first Test, Wales' midweek team lost 40-7 to the Chiefs in Gatland's home city of Hamilton.
"We've learned a lot about ourselves this week and some of the players," added Gatland.
"We'll be thinking that we can get better again for next week.
"The big thing for us is continuing to compete against the best team in the world.
"We'll learn a huge amount from this series."
The Wales coach was also pleased with how his side ended the game, having been blown away in the final quarter in Auckland.
"They tried to increase the tempo and what I was proud of was that we were the ones who stayed in the game towards the end," said Gatland.
"I was pleased with that last 20 and we can build on that for next week hopefully."
Gatland also praised full-back Rhys Patchell, who was winning his third cap after arriving down under as an injury replacement and playing against the Chiefs.
"I was pleased with the way he went. There were a couple of things defensively that he can work on. He showed some nice pace in that wide channel," said Gatland.
He was taken to hospital after being injured at 16:15 GMT in the Topshop store in the Oracle Shopping Centre, Reading.
The boy, who was in a life threatening condition, died later at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Thames Valley Police said.
His death is being treated as unexplained but non-suspicious.
South Central Ambulance said three ambulances and two officers in a rapid response vehicle were sent to the scene and the shop was cordoned off to customers.
Police said the boy's next of kin had been informed and that further inquiries would take place.
Pte Sean Benton, 20, was found with five gunshot wounds at Deepcut Barracks, in June 1995.
His death was originally recorded as suicide, but a second inquest was ordered after a campaign by the family.
Its scope has been widened to look at all the circumstances of the death of the soldier, from Hastings, Sussex.
A pre-inquest hearing at the Old Bailey heard the full inquest, expected to be next January, would look at how Pte Benton died and whether there was "any third party action".
Pte Benton's "state of mind" will be probed, as well as how he was assessed and disciplined.
In addressing a 10-point list, the inquest will also look at whether he was "subjected to bullying and harassment".
The court heard the soldier's family wanted a jury because of concerns questioning of retired sergeant Andrew Gavaghan may be curbed.
For the family, Paul Greaney QC said: "There will be an attempt made on behalf of Sgt Gavaghan and MoD [Ministry of Defence] to restrict questions of his conduct only in respect of Sean himself.
"On behalf of the family, our submission is we must examine allegations of abuse or bullying of any recruit, not just Sean."
Nicholas Moss, for the MoD, stressed the officer would not be on trial.
Coroner Peter Rook QC said he would rule on whether a jury was needed in July.
Pte Benton's family have campaigned for years for a full investigation into his death amid claims he suffered prolonged bullying.
Represented by human rights group Liberty, Pte Benton's sister Tracy Lewis and his twin Tony Benton applied for a new hearing after using the Human Rights Act to access evidence held by police.
Their mother Linda, who also fought to see evidence about the circumstances of her son's death, died in 2015.
20-year-old Pte Sean Benton, from Hastings, was the first to be found dead in June 1995
18-year-old Pte Cheryl James, from Llangollen was found with a bullet wound to her forehead in November 1995
17-year-old Pte Geoff Gray, from Seaham, was found with two gunshot wounds to his head in 2001
17-year-old Pte James Collinson, from Perth, was found with a single gunshot wound through his chin while on guard duty in 2002

The birds have "windows" for heat loss, around their eyes, shoulder joints, feet and legs.
This study, led by George Fox University in Oregon, US, is part of a Nasa-funded project to uncover the effects of climate change on the birds.
The results are published in the journal Royal Society Open Science.
Dissipating heat is complex in birds because feathers are such effective insulators.
Lead researcher Dr Donald Powers said many nest birds formed bare "brood patches" when sitting on eggs, "so that the eggs are not insulated from their warm skin by the feathers".
"We wanted to understand how hummingbirds, and birds in general, get rid of the extra heat."
As bright white patches on the footage reveal, hummingbirds - and, researchers say, probably birds in general - have special areas around their eyes, shoulders, and legs that have low feather density.
These serve as windows to rapidly dissipate heat during flight.
"As flight power requirement increases- it is highest when hummingbirds hover - the amount of heat generated increases," said Dr Powers.
"But these 'windows' are sufficient at moderate temperatures to dissipate all excess heat across the full range of flight speeds in hummingbirds."
The researchers are currently investigating whether these nimble, nectar-feeding birds will be able to avoid overheating as temperatures increase.

Mr Goldsmith, who became a father again on Tuesday, was ousted as MP during a by-election in December.
He had previously left the Conservative Party in protest at the government's backing of a third Heathrow runway.
But on Wednesday night he beat Laura Ferris and Luke Parker to the Richmond Park and North Kingston nomination.
BBC London's political editor Tim Donovan, who was at the meeting, said Mr Goldsmith told the audience he would still oppose the third runway at Heathrow.
In his acceptance speech, he said "this is what it feels like to win an election".
Constituency chairman Georgina Butler said the party was "delighted" to have Mr Goldsmith reselected.
"After a resounding victory in the 2015 General Election, his absence from Parliament since last December has been a disappointment. He is widely regarded the best MP that Richmond Park and North Kingston has ever had, and we need him back to represent our residents effectively," she said.
Lib Dem Sarah Olney won the seat in a campaign focused on Brexit - the Remain-supporting seat voting to oust Leave-supporting Mr Goldsmith.
But local Tories insist Mr Goldsmith is not a "hardened Brexiteer" and would fight for the best deal for Britain.
Lib Dem chief whip Tom Brake said: "By standing as a Conservative after resigning over Heathrow, Zac Goldsmith has just lost his last shred of credibility.
"People in Richmond Park voted resoundingly against a hard Brexit and against Heathrow expansion, both backed by Zac Goldsmith's Conservative Party. Instead they voted for the Liberal Democrat Sarah Olney.
"Zac Goldsmith couldn't stand on a Conservative platform last time, so what's changed?"
He added that Ms Olney had beaten him once, and "would do so again".
It comes after a tumultuous nine days for his organisation, amid claims of "systemic and deep-rooted" corruption.
Seven Fifa officials were held in a dawn raid last week in Zurich as they gathered for a congress which saw Mr Blatter re-elected for a fifth term.
Four days later, Mr Blatter announced he would step down early from the post.
He said he would remain at work until Fifa had chosen his successor in the coming months.
As part of an indictment alleging widespread corruption within Fifa over a period exceeding two decades, the US Department of Justice has charged 14 Fifa officials and associates, including the seven held in Zurich by Swiss police at the behest of US authorities. There are no charges against Mr Blatter himself.
Thursday saw several developments in the story:
In a statement issued on Thursday evening from Fifa HQ in Zurich, Mr Blatter reported that he had held a "a good, constructive meeting to establish a framework for action and a timetable" with Domenico Scala, chairman of the organisation's audit and compliance committee.
The statement added that "president Blatter and Mr Scala are now working on the process to instigate meaningful reform of the administration and structure of Fifa".
It further quoted Mr Blatter as saying: "I want a comprehensive programme of reform and I am very aware that only the Fifa congress can pass these reforms. Furthermore, the executive committee has a particular duty to share the responsibility of driving this process."
Mr Blatter tweeted a picture of himself "working hard at reforms".

Mr Warner resigned from all football activity in 2011 amid bribery allegations and later stepped down as Trinidad and Tobago's security minister amid a fraud inquiry.
In a TV address, he said: "At the age of 72 I have no intention of allowing them to deprive me of my freedom. I reasonably fear for my life. I have decided I will no longer keep secrets.
"I have compiled a comprehensive series of documents, including cheques and corroborated statements, and have placed them in different and respected hands.
"These documents detail my knowledge in the following matters: the link between Fifa, its funding and me; the links between Fifa, its funding and the United National Congress [Trinidad's governing party].
"These documents also deal with my knowledge of certain transactions at Fifa including, but not limited to, its president Sepp Blatter."
Mr Warner, who denies the charges against him but faces extradition to the US, was released on bail after handing himself in to police in the Trinidad and Tobago capital of Port of Spain last week.
Jack Warner: The US charge sheet
Another former top Fifa official and key witness, American Chuck Blazer, has admitted accepting bribes.
The US justice department alleges the 14 people charged worldwide accepted bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period. Four others have already been charged, including Mr Blazer.
Mr Warner's address came hours after the details of Mr Blazer's 2013 plea bargain came to light, including the admission that he and other officials had accepted bribes in connection with the 2010 World Cup bid, which saw the tournament awarded to South Africa.
Mr Blazer was the second highest official in Fifa's North and Central American and Caribbean region (Concacaf) from 1990 to 2011 - serving as general secretary while Mr Warner was president - and also served on Fifa's executive committee between 1997 and 2013.
In addition to the US case, Swiss authorities have launched a criminal investigation into how the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded to Russia and Qatar respectively.
A law enforcement official quoted by Reuters news agency said the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in addition to examining events during Mr Blazer's time at the helm of Concacaf, was also looking into how the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded. Both countries have denied any wrongdoing in the bidding process.
The authorities in Qatar say they are confident they will not be stripped of their right to host the 2022 tournament.
The project aims to take a snapshot of current trends and map out the ways the public engage with music.
It is hoped the survey will help measure live music's cultural and economic value and identify future challenges and opportunities.
The 24-hour survey began at 12:00 on Thursday in Glasgow, Newcastle, Oxford, Leeds, Southampton and Brighton.
It has been commissioned by UK Music, the campaigning and lobbying group that represents the recorded and live music industry, and is being led by the universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle.
Prof Martin Cloonan, professor of popular music politics at Glasgow University, said: "What is being proposed has never been done before and is set to reveal the true state of the UK's live music industry.
"Live music is a vital cultural and economic asset and it is important to monitor its health and to support it.
"The results will help to provide the clearest picture of the Glasgow live music scene yet, illustrating that vibrancy while also show issues which need to be addressed."
According to UK Music, the music industry is worth an estimated £3.5bn to the UK economy and creates almost 101,600 jobs.
The group said that despite the value of live music to the economy, the full picture of what the public is listening to and how they listen and interact has never been fully and accurately surveyed.
Dr Matt Brennan, from Edinburgh University, is leading the UK Census project.
He said: "Venues around the country have been telling us that they already operate on thin margins, so proposed increases in rateable values of up to 55% in some cases will have a significant impact.
"The UK Live Music Census will be very important in identifying challenges that the industry faces, such as rising rates and other issues.
"It will give us a detailed picture of what exactly it means to be venue owner, a musician, and a live music lover in 2017. Our hope is that the census will be a vital tool in strengthening a much-loved part of the UK's culture."
The census aims to cover 70 music events in Glasgow alone. Hundreds more will be covered at the five other cities in England.
The survey team will also talk to audiences, venue staff and musicians.
Its findings will be supplemented by a nationwide online survey for musicians, venues, promoters and audiences that will be open until 8 May. | Police are investigating the deaths of two 17-year-olds in separate incidents at the T in the Park music festival.

Jennings also demonstrated the way to play on this Mumbai pitch. The surface is deteriorating quite quickly, more so than the three previous pitches in this series, and runs and time at the crease are clearly essential.
He was dropped on nought but he played excellently after that slight lapse. He drives very well, he's tall, stands up and plays straight.
I loved the way he reached his hundred with a reverse-sweep. I know that's a modern batsman's shot but you've still got to have a pretty composed attitude to pull that out when you need four for your first Test hundred. That shows that he's got a pretty strong character as well. It was an excellent start for him.
Following Haseeb Hameed's performance in the first three Tests of the series, Jennings' emergence will hopefully enable Joe Root to go back to number four, which is better for all manner of reasons - it splits up him and Alastair Cook, and Root just looks better suited for number four.
I could imagine Hameed opening with Cook and Jennings batting at number three. That already looks a stronger top order. Moeen Ali batting at four is clearly too high, I'd rather see him back down at number eight with Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes also coming in a little lower than five and six.
In Jennings and Hameed, we've got two young players with a lot of promise. They look like they could play the game well, not just in terms of technique and ability but in their character too. I like the look of both of them. Even though this has been a difficult tour for England, hopefully it's unearthed a couple of good young players for the future.
In addition to Jennings, Root was the other batsman who was blameless in getting out, caught at slip off Ravichandran Ashwin for 21.
But I'm sure Cook, Moeen and Bairstow will be disappointed in how they were dismissed.
I know there has been talk about playing positively, and the coach Trevor Bayliss has spoken about this, but I think they have been slightly lured by the Indians talking about England batting too slowly and too defensively.
On this surface run-rates are almost irrelevant because the pitch is deteriorating over time. You have got to nail down that first-innings total that should set you up to win the game.
The pitch will never be better than when you have first use of it. To see Moeen slog-sweeping, Bairstow sweeping out into the deep and Cook charging down and getting stumped - that's just reckless. It's not a sensible way to approach batting in these circumstances. When the bowlers are getting help, you don't give them any more.
It's clearly going to be very difficult for England batting on the third or fourth day on this wicket. You've got to make the most of the first chance and three of the five dismissed didn't do that today.
The first thing to make clear about Jennings, who was born and brought up in South Africa and captained their under-19s, is that he is eligible to play for England.
What the selectors have to bear in mind, I believe, is that they should pick the best players who are available while at the same time fairly reflecting the English system and giving an incentive to English county cricketers.
I was furious when Darren Pattinson was chosen against South Africa in 2008 because it was totally unnecessary and did a lot of damage to the integrity of the England team selection. There were plenty of fully English bowlers from the English system who could have been picked, rather than an Australian.
The selectors do like the look of Keaton Jennings, ahead of Middlesex's 22-year-old Nick Gubbins. That's the debate - should they have gone for Gubbins first because he has come through the English system or do you go with somebody who has been captain of South Africa's U19s? It's a very difficult debate.
I played county cricket wanting to have the incentive of playing cricket for England. That was very important and if you lose faith in the selection system then county cricket will not do its job. You need to have motivated county cricketers who are going to come through the English system with the target of playing for their country.
What I hear of Gubbins is that he is a very solid fellow and his chance will hopefully come but I can understand the chuntering about Jennings' background. He has an English mother and has served his time because he wanted to play for England - that's different from Pattinson who just happened to be here to play county cricket for Nottinghamshire.
I do think it's not simply a question of the selectors having to pick the best player, full stop. There are other criteria that they must consider, particularly not disincentivising English county cricketers.
England closed day one on 288-5 and there is still batting to come. If the tourists can get 400 then I think that's going to be a good score.
You never know with these pitches, it's done a lot quite quickly so far, perhaps it might not do so much on day two. But the signs are that a score of 400 should put you in a good position.

Abigail Bonney, 18, of Thomas Road in Clacton, lost control of her Renault Clio on the A133 near Colchester.
Bonney admitted careless driving at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. One of her passengers was seriously injured.
The court heard a "black box" fitted to her car showed her speed increased to 71mph before the crash on 1 March.
The legal limit on the stretch of road where the crash happened is 60mph (96kmh).
The black box had been fitted by her insurance company, the court heard.
Although Bonney was unharmed, the front-seat passenger, an 18-year-old woman, suffered life-changing neck injuries.
Two other friends, who were sitting in the back of the car, suffered whiplash injuries and severe headaches.
Bonney was disqualified from driving for 12 months, fined £62 and ordered to pay £90 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
After the case, PC Heidi Lee of Essex Police said: "The court heard that Bonney was a new and inexperienced driver who showed a total disregard for the safety of her passengers and other road users."

The economy shrank by 0.4% in the April-to-June period, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said in its third estimate of gross domestic product (GDP).
The ONS had initially estimated a contraction of 0.7%, before revising that to 0.5% last month.
Analysts had been expecting no change to the second estimate.
The first figures for any quarter are known as the "flash estimate" as they are based on incomplete data. The figures are revised at least twice as more information is collected
A 3% slump in construction output in the second quarter of 2012 remained the main drag on the economy, although this was better than the first estimate of a 5.2% fall and the second estimate of a 3.9% decline in the sector.
Production output, which includes manufacturing fell by 0.8%, revised from a 0.9% fall.
The manufacturers' organisation, the EEF, said the figures offered "some hope" for manufacturing, pointing out that manufacturing investment increased by 5.9% in the second quarter.
By Hugh PymChief economics correspondent, BBC News
The latest economic output figures will confirm the suspicion of some experts that the preliminary estimate was out of line with other indicators. How, they asked, could the economy be contracting by 0.7% when it was creating about 200,000 jobs over the same period?
The latest figure of 0.4% can itself be adjusted for the effect of the extra June bank holiday (believed by the Bank of England to be about 0.5%). Once that is accounted for it's possible to argue that the economy grew slightly.
The reality is that the economy seems to be bumping along rather than declining rapidly. But, even if the current third quarter registers an Olympic-fuelled bounceback, it is hard at this stage to discern signs of sustained recovery.
But the British Chambers of Commerce said that, although this was a welcome revision, the new figures were "still too gloomy".
There was a 0.1% fall in services, which was unchanged from the previous estimate.
The UK economy has contracted for three quarters in a row.
But Credit Suisse economist Neville Hill said that recent data and surveys pointed to a return to growth in the third quarter.
"It's still not as bad as it actually looks," he told the BBC. "You've got to take these numbers with a pinch of salt."
The effects of the Diamond Jubilee bank holiday and the wet weather in June would have "understated" how the economy actually performed in the second quarter, he said.
The third quarter, on the other hand, would see a rebound from those factors and receive an additional boost from the London Olympics, probably "overstating" the economy's performance.
Recent labour market data has provided more upbeat news for the UK, with unemployment falling by 7,000 to 2.59 million in the three months to July, compared with the previous three-month period.
"It's almost impossible to see an economy in recession yet creating the amount of jobs in the private sector that we've seen over the last 12 months," Mr Hill said.
"We probably are statistically pulling out of a recession that we never really had."
GCHQ is launching a competition with the aim of encouraging more girls to think about a career in cyber security.
Girls aged 13 to 15 will compete in tests that will also cover logic and coding, networking and cryptography.
Women currently only make up 10% of the global cyber workforce, the agency says.
The competition is part of a five-year National Cyber Security Strategy announced in November 2016, and will be overseen by the new National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
Working in teams of four, the girls will complete online tasks remotely on their school computers, with each stage being harder than the previous one.
The 10 groups with the highest scores will then be invited to the CyberFirst competition final in London to investigate a complex cyber threat.
CyberFirst's winning team will be awarded £1,000 worth of computer equipment for their school, as well as individual prizes.
The NCSC was set up to be the main body for cyber security at a national level.
It manages national cyber security incidents, carries out real-time threat analysis and provides advice.
An NCSC spokeswoman said: "Women can, and do, make a huge difference in cyber security - this competition could inspire many more to take their first steps into this dynamic and rewarding career."
Government Communications Headquarters director Robert Hannigan said: "I work alongside some truly brilliant women who help protect the UK from all manner of online threats.
"The CyberFirst Girls competition allows teams of young women a glimpse of this exciting world and provides a great opportunity to use new skills."
Avenging their recent League Cup semi-final defeat, Celtic moved ahead when Griffiths volleyed home in first-half stoppage time.
Griffiths had earlier hit the post as a host of good openings were spurned.
The hosts doubled their lead when defender Dedryck Boyata stretched to head in a Stuart Armstrong cross.

Griffiths is the fastest player to score 30 goals for the club in a season since former Sweden striker Henrik Larsson.
Facing the same opponents who beat them at Hampden at the end of January, and with their title credentials under scrutiny, the win was a necessity for manager Ronny Deila and his, at times, nervy side.
Celtic failed to convert and ease the tension in the opening exchanges, with some of the loudest shouts prior to Griffiths' typically clinical strike being for over-hit passes by Stefan Johansen and Armstrong.
Johansen was useful more than he was wasteful, though. The Norwegian threaded several through-balls, but the finishing did not do them justice.
Gary Mackay-Steven watched his shot pushed round the post by Scott Fox , while Griffiths did the hard work by rounding the Ross County keeper before seeing his low effort bounce back off the near post and into his arms.
As Celtic fans cried "Challenge him", Ross County gradually tried to pile on the pressure, and Jackson Irvine presented a threat with an 18-yard shot.
But just as Deila might have been wondering how to galvanise his players at the break, the left foot of Griffiths got the Parkhead side out of a hole.
Kieran Tierney's deep cross gave Chris Robertson problems and, under pressure from Johansen, the centre-back could only head into the path of the Scotland striker to score.
Home supporters thought Celtic had sealed the win midway through the second half when Boyata outmuscled Paul Quinn to head Armstrong's deep delivery high into the net. But there was a fright to come.
Erik Sviatchenko surrendered possession all too easily at the back, which let Michael Gardyne cross and almost set up Alex Schalk a tap in were it not for a desperate Nir Bitton clearance.
Near the jittery end, Jonathan Franks also made the Celtic back-line work hard as his rising shot had to be dealt with by a diving Craig Gordon.
Now it's over to nearest challengers Aberdeen to re-apply the pressure when they meet Inverness CT on Monday.

British Geological Survey (BGS) recorded a 2.3 magnitude earthquake at Badrallach, a few miles west of Ullapool, at about 09:00.
Residents of Ullapool and nearby Loggie, Ardessie and Camusnagaul have reported feeling the quake.
BGS said the reports included descriptions of walls "visibly" shaking and windows rattling.
Mirrors on walls were also said to have rattled while other residents told BGS that "the whole house shook" and of the earthquake feeling like "lorries passing the house".
BGS said the intensity of the quake had been classed as a three on the European Macroseismic Scale, meaning it was "weak" but could still be felt indoors by people.
On social media, people living in Dundonnell have also told of feeling the earthquake.
Book Beautiful, at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh, includes texts from the earliest days of print in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Curators said the collection shows how books can be more than things to read and become works of art.
The books include the 1545 edition of Francesco Colonna's La Hypnerotomachia di Poliphilo.
There is also William Morris's 1896 edition of The Works Of Geoffrey Chaucer.
Also on show is the earliest printed book in the National Library's collection, the Biblia pauperum, which features engravings of biblical scenes and was printed in the Netherlands around 1460.
Alongside this is the last great private press book of the 20th century, the Pennyroyal Caxton Press Bible, printed in the United States.
It features a series of biblical engravings which took the artist, Barry Moser, four years to complete.
Rare books curator James Mitchell, who selected the books for the display, said: "By conceiving the book as a unified whole in which format, page design, type, illustration, binding and paper all work together harmoniously, the people who worked with private presses designed books which were to be read slowly, appreciated and treasured.
"At their best, they produced works which transcended their medium to become works of art.
"These are all books that have been carefully planned, meticulously designed and hand crafted with precise detailing applied to all aspects of the printing process.
"Some are masterpieces of design and the product of years of painstaking attention to detail. They are no less than some of the most beautiful books that man has ever made."
The Book Beautiful display is open to the public, with free entry, until 13 March.
In cities from Boston to Chicago, fast food workers and union organisers marched outside of various McDonalds.
The movement has seen some success, with cities such as San Francisco and Seattle raising the minimum wage.
US President Barack Obama has said he supports their efforts.
The so-called "Fight for 15" movement has organised eight protests and walk-outs in the past two years, but billed Thursday's efforts as their biggest yet.
Fast food workers, airport employees and home-health aids, amongst others, have argued that the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 is not enough to allow workers to live.
The campaign is backed by the Service Employees International Union, which has provided financial support and organisational help to the effort.
They have exerted pressure on McDonalds, Burger King and other fast food restaurants to raise wages, in addition to working with local politicians to get wage-raising measures on the ballot during election season.
McDonalds has said that the protestors do not necessarily represent the opinions of all of its employees, and that wage decisions are up to individual franchise owners.
"It's important to know approximately 90% of our US restaurants are independently owned and operated by franchisees who set wages according to job level and local and federal laws," it said in a statement.
In New York City, hundreds of workers gathered at a McDonalds in downtown Manhattan, chanting slogans and walking in step with a marching band.
They briefly went into a franchise, before leading a march toward's New York's City Hall.
"I'm going to cry - we went from 200 workers in New York City to workers in countries around the world," said one organiser who addressed the crowd.
"We've accomplished a lot in the last two years."
Shantel Walker has been with the movement from the beginning and has attended six protests.
She has been working at a Papa John's pizzeria franchise on and off since 1999, yet she says she still only earns $8.50 per hour - not substantially more than when she first started.
"Right now it's a real struggle to survive," she says.
"If I get paid on Saturday, by Monday I'm broke."
Labour analysts say that the movement has managed to gain momentum both because it capitalised on the increasing focus on income inequality in the wake of the 2010 Occupy movement, and because it made canny organisational choices from the start.
"The fast food fight did one thing that was smart instead of just demonizing McDonalds, they've really pushed for metropolitan wide increases in the minimum wage for everyone," says Nelson Lichtenstein, the director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor and Democracy at the University of California - Santa Barbara.
That has meant that the movement has been able to gain many different types of workers.
Furthermore, instead of just exerting pressure on specific corporations like McDonalds and Burger King, for example, organisers have been able to focus attention on wages for everyone and thus get certain ballot measures passed.
And for workers like Ms Walker, those small successes - in cities like San Francisco and SeaTac, Washington - are reason enough to keep marching.
Corporations "get richer and we get poorer and that's the bottom line" she says.
BBC Sport has learned the team refused to stay at the Zifa Village training facility, saying it is sub-standard, and have been booked at a Harare hotel by Footballers Union of Zimbabwe.
The team were also unable to use the national sports stadium for training because a $60 fee had not been paid.
They had to use a high school instead.
It is unclear why the fee was not paid, given a mobile network provider announced a $250,000 sponsorship for the Warriors two weeks ago to cover all of the team's needs for their Nations Cup campaign.
Zimbabwe's first match of the 14 January to 5 February tournament is against Algeria on 15 January. They will also face Tunisia and Senegal in Group B.
The 25 year-old joined the Championship side in June after a successful spell at National League Dover Athletic, where he scored 40 goals in 90 games.
Payne has yet to score after nine matches for the Tykes and told the Shrewsbury website that this move has come at the right time for him.
"I've learnt a lot and developed a lot at Barnsley," he said.
"Now I just need game time and some goals."
Shrewsbury are 19th in League One, two points from the relegation zone, and have struggled for goals this season with only 28 in 29 games.
Payne is the fourth striker to join Shrewsbury on loan in January, following Crystal Palace's Freddie Ladapo and West Bromwich Albion's Tyler Roberts, and Fulham's Stephen Humphrys.

The Scottish Agricultural College, research bodies and businesses are also expected to take up spaces at the Beechwood campus.
Highland councillors approved the masterplan and design guidelines for the site last month.
Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) is leading the campus project.
Work on the site is scheduled to start next year with the first buildings ready to open in 2015.
Inverness College UHI plans to relocate staff and students from its sites at Longman and Midmills in Inverness to a new building on the campus.

Sinclair, 70, was jailed for life and told to serve a minimum of 37 years after a jury last year found him guilty of killing Christine Eadie and Helen Scott.
The sentence for the murder of the teenage girls is the longest ever imposed by a Scottish court.
Earlier this year, Sinclair dropped an appeal against his conviction.
That conviction made legal history as his retrial was the first to take place following changes made in Scotland in 2011 to the centuries-old double jeopardy principle, which prevented a person being tried twice for the same crime.
The re-trial came seven years after the original court case in which he was accused of killing the 17-year-olds collapsed.
Christine Eadie and Helen Scott were targeted by Sinclair and his brother-in-law Gordon Hamilton, who died in 1996, on a night-out at Edinburgh's World's End pub on 15 October, 1977.
Their bodies were discovered the following day, having been dumped in remote locations in East Lothian. They had been raped and strangled.
Sinclair had a record of violence against women.
He was just 16 when he strangled seven-year-old Catherine Reehill in Glasgow in 1961 and in 1982 he was convicted of a string of sex attacks on young girls, including rape.
While still in prison, he was given a life sentence in 2001 for the murder of 17-year-old Mary Gallacher, who was raped and stabbed in Glasgow in 1978.
At the Appeal Court in Edinburgh, judges heard submissions over whether or not the convictions in 1982 and 2001 should have been taken into account in determining the punishment part of the sentence as they were events which came after the offence.
Judges Lady Paton, Lady Clark and Lord Malcolm will deliver their judgement at a later date.
Health Protection Scotland said the individual was in the NHS Tayside area.
It brings the total number of people affected by the current outbreak to six - four in Lothian and two in Tayside.
Gardeners have been urged to wash their hands after handling compost and to avoid using it in enclosed unventilated areas such as sheds and greenhouses.
Symptoms of the Legionella longbeachae infection can include headaches, diarrhoea or a dry cough followed by pneumonia.
Public health experts believe the outbreak is linked to commercial gardening compost.
The exact way in which the infection is passed from compost to people is not known, but it assumed to be through breathing in very small dust particles or very small drops of contaminated water.
Most people recover after treatment with antibiotics but those with underlying medical problems are more vulnerable.
Health experts have recommended warning labels be put on bags of compost because of the risk of Legionnaires' disease.
David Cameron said he told President Barack Obama that "we'll go on working closely together" to defeat terrorism.
He had told President Saleh of Yemen that more must be done to "cut out the cancer" of al-Qaeda in his country.
Earlier Home Secretary Theresa May said the UK's terror threat level would stay at "severe".
Mr Cameron said he had told President Saleh "We have to do even more to crack down and cut out the cancer of al-Qaeda in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula."
He added: "These terrorists think that our connectedness, our openness as modern countries, is what makes us weak - they're wrong; it's a source of our strength."
Of the device itself he said: "We believe that the device was designed to go off on the aeroplane; we cannot be sure about the timing when that was meant to take place.
"There is no early evidence it was designed to take place over British soil but, of course, we cannot rule that out."
The device - a printer cartridge with wires protruding - was on a Chicago-bound plane at East Midlands Airport.
Mrs May said there was no indication another attack was imminent but that unaccompanied air freight from Yemen was being banned from the UK.
Another device was found in Dubai.
Yemeni police are reportedly examining 26 other suspect parcels. Intelligence agencies believe the packages are linked to terrorist group al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which is based in the country.
The Yemeni embassy in London said no planes from delivery firm UPS land or take off from the country. Authorities have closed down the offices of UPS and Fedex in the state, the BBC understands.
Speaking after a meeting of government emergency planning committee Cobra, Mrs May said officials were continuing to work with international colleagues on the investigation.
"I can confirm that the device was viable and could have exploded. The target may have been an aircraft and had it detonated the aircraft could have been brought down," she said.
Severe is the second-highest level of alert, meaning an attack is "highly likely". The highest level - critical - indicates an attack is imminent.
Direct flights from Yemen to the UK were suspended in January 2010. Mrs May confirmed that an additional bar had been imposed on all unaccompanied air freight originating from Yemen from coming into or through the UK.
The flight found to be carrying the device at East Midlands Airport had stopped to refuel.
Yemen is considered a source of a growing threat of extremist violence and the UK has been working with the US to strengthen counter-terrorism there.
President Obama praised the professionalism of British officers in a call to the prime minister, the White House said.
Likewise, shadow home secretary Ed Balls said: "This clearly constituted a potentially serious threat to our security and we should all pay tribute to our police and intelligence and security services who, working with international colleagues, located and secured the device."
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the Met's counter terrorism officers were liaising with international agencies and tests on the device were continuing.
Mr Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan said the US was "remaining vigilant".
The packages were destined for Jewish places of worship in Chicago, Mr Obama said.
The alerts were:
Mr Obama stressed that new aviation security measures were being taken in the US, "including additional screening".
US officials told Associated Press they believed the packages contained PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) - the explosive used in the failed bombing of a US-bound airliner last Christmas Day - although full testing was not complete.
BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera said the devices appeared to signal "growing creativeness allied to ongoing ambition" on the part of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
"Attacking cargo planes has also long been anticipated as a potential tactic. Militant groups regularly look for any weak spots in security, and aviation remains a prime target," he said.
The discovery of the devices may have a similar effect on changing the way cargo is transported as the 2006 "liquid bomb plot" on passenger travel, with new restrictions put into place, he added.
His death was announced by the AQAP group in an online video. His successor was named as military chief Qasim al-Raymi.
Wuhayshi was seen as al-Qaeda's second-in-command and was a former personal assistant to Osama Bin Laden.
He built one of the most active al-Qaeda branches, say US officials.
Does killing militant leaders work?
In Yemen, resurgent al-Qaeda militants have seized territory and infrastructure - indirectly assisted by Saudi-led air strikes on the rebel Houthi movement, their Shia Muslim foes.
But the deaths of a number of leading figures in AQAP in recent months have reportedly fuelled rumours among supporters that it has been successfully targeted by intelligence agencies.
Nasser al-Wuhayshi was a major global figure among jihadists - even supporters of al-Qaeda's rival Islamic State viewed Wuhayshi with respect.
According to reports, in August 2013 Wuhayshi was appointed deputy of al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, a sign of the extent of his influence.
As well as creating AQAP itself, Wuhayshi also played a major role in forming the AQAP off-shoot, Ansar al-Sharia, in 2011, to appeal to disaffected youth in Yemen at the time of the Arab Spring.
AQAP's leader cultivated good relations with local tribes, which helped his group advance in various places in the south of the country.
His death is no doubt a big blow for AQAP - but it seems to have been prepared for this moment, swiftly naming another highly influential figure, Qasim al-Raymi, to succeed him.
Obituary: Nasser al-Wuhayshi
"We in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula mourn to our Muslim nation... that Abu Baseer Nasser bin Abdul Karim al-Wuhayshi, may God have mercy on his soul, passed away in an American strike which targeted him along with two of his mujahideen brothers," Khaled Batarfi, a senior member of the group, said in the video.
The US confirmed his death on Tuesday. National Security Council spokesperson Ned Price said that Wuhayshi's death had struck a "major blow" to al-Qaeda's most dangerous affiliate.
He added that the killing had removed an "experienced terrorist leader" from the battlefield.
Wuhayshi is thought to be the highest ranking al-Qaeda leader killed since Bin Laden's death in Pakistan in 2011.
Yemeni officials said Wuhayshi was believed to have been killed in a raid in al-Qaeda-held Mukalla, in south-eastern Yemen's Hadramawt province.
Witnesses were quoted as saying an explosion had killed three men on the seafront last Friday - and that al-Qaeda gunmen had quickly cordoned off the area and gathered the remains, leading them to believe a leader was among those killed.
The US State Department had offered a $10m (£6.4m) reward for anyone who could help bring Wuhayshi - who is believed to have been in his 30s - to justice.
Wuhayshi, himself a Yemeni, travelled to Afghanistan in the late 1990s where he trained, fighting alongside and becoming a close confidant of Bin Laden.
As US forces closed in at the battle of Tora Bora in late 2001, he escaped into Iran.
There he was arrested and extradited to Yemen, where he was jailed until he escaped in 2006.
He became head of al-Qaeda in Yemen and then head of AQAP when the Yemeni and Saudi branches of al-Qaeda merged in 2009.
Since late January 2015, AQAP has lost a number of high-profile figures in US drone strikes - including religious official Harith al-Nadhari, ideologue and spokesman Ibrahim al-Rubaish, and religious and military official Nasser al-Ansi, along with lower ranking figures.
The proximity and precision of these assassinations has given rise to rumours in jihadist circles that AQAP has been infiltrated by spies, BBC Monitoring reports.
The US use of drones - in Yemen and elsewhere - has long been a source of controversy.
Last week the families of two Yemeni citizens killed in a US drone strike launched a lawsuit in Washington DC, demanding that the US admit the strike was unlawful.
A Welsh Government-commissioned review says a new Tertiary Education Authority should replace the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (Hefcw).
Beyond funding, it would shape a vision of universities, further education colleges and training to 2030.
The education minister said a decision would be made after May's election.
At the moment, funding for further education and training comes directly from ministers while Hefcw distributes money from the Welsh Government to universities.
The review by Professor Ellen Hazelkorn - a higher education expert at the Dublin Institute of Technology - recommends that education policy and institutions should be more focused on Wales' social and economic goals.
She told BBC Wales she saw the new body as having more to do with "leading and shaping" further and higher education rather than just a funding role.
Prof Hazelkorn said colleges and universities needed to take a long-term vision to 2030 and beyond and be ready to respond.
"What are the big changes? How do you see Welsh society and the economy developing? How does higher and further education fit within that?" she said.
Traditionally universities have provided degrees and colleges focused on vocational qualifications but in recent years the dividing lines have been less clear.
Last month the Welsh government reversed planned cuts to Hefcw's budget by around a third.
Finance Minister Jane Hutt said it would have to find savings of £11m rather than the £42m it had originally faced.
Commissioning the review in July 2015, Education Minister Huw Lewis said there were different arrangements for overseeing post-compulsory education and some were more effective than others.
Mr Lewis, who is stepping down from the assembly, said he would not be commenting on the report and it would be a matter for the government elected in May.
Joe Kelly, of Cheltenham, played the game for 35 hours, 35 minutes and 35 seconds, raising £1,800 for cancer research.
The current record, 24 hours 10 minutes, was set by Martin Fornleitner in Austria in 2011.
Minecraft involves building structures out of blocks, exploring worlds and taking part in battles.
The title has sold more than 54 million copies worldwide.
Last year, Microsoft bought Mojang, the studio behind it, for $2.5bn (£1.5bn).
Mr Kelly, who runs a film company and works as a voice actor, has been playing the game since buying a pre-development version in 2010 but usually only plays for a couple of hours a week.
"Staying awake wasn't too bad - I did the whole thing without any caffeine," he told the BBC.
"There were no stimulants other than sugar and stubbornness."
Mr Kelly, who live streamed the entire game on YouTube, added that the stunt had taken its toll on his hands.
"My shoulders didn't ache, my back didn't ache - the worst thing was my fingers.
"They hurt so much just from holding keyboard and mouse and being in clenched position for such a long time.
"Every little break I got I was flexing my fingers."
Mr Kelly and his girlfriend, Sarah Vallance, are now in the process of sending evidence of the feat to the Guinness World Records.
But he has no intention of taking a break from the game.
"I introduced my girlfriend to Minecraft, we usually play together," he said.
" It's something we like to do together. I'm not shut away gaming."
Rynard Landman's try helped the Welsh side into an early 10-0 lead, but two superbly-taken tries from Nick Grigg gave Warriors the initiative.
Rory Hughes, Ratu Tagive, Lee Jones, Mark Bennett and Peter Horne all touched down before Tyler Morgan scored a late try for the visitors.
The win moves Glasgow within six points of fifth-placed Ulster.
The Dragons had just shipped 54 points to Leinster so their early lead must have come as a shock to Glasgow, Angus O'Brien, their fly-half, putting them ahead with the boot, and then putting in a lovely grubber kick to the corner that put Gregor Townsend's team on the back foot.
Pinned in their own 22, Glasgow couldn't escape. When the Dragons came infield Landman stretched for the line, referee Andrew Brace with the help of his TMO giving the try even though it looked like Landman had got the ball down just short. O'Brien banged over the conversion to make it an unlikely 10-0 for the visitors who came into this on the back of 12 defeats in their 16 Pro12 games.
Glasgow desperately needed a four-try bonus point win to keep their already slim semi-final hopes alive and they required a whole lot more ball to get it. Soon enough, they got on top. Tim Swinson and Brian Alainu'uese carried and carried and slowly ground the Dragons down.
Nick Grigg, terrific throughout, got his first just before the half hour, spinning through weak Dragons defence to score. Then he added another, a lovely solo run where he ripped through an increasingly porous Dragons. Horne converted both and Glasgow were ahead at 14-10.
They suffered the loss through injury of Richie Vernon just before half-time - poor Vernon has been cursed these past years - but they kicked on regardless. Just after the restart, Hughes blasted though more soft defending to get Glasgow's third, injuring himself in the process.
Glasgow's precious bonus point try came seven minutes later when the excellent Horne picked out substitute Tagive with a crossfield kick and the Australian, on his home debut, strolled over. With Horne's conversion, Glasgow were home-free at 28-10.
Jones piled on the pain for the Dragons with the fifth and Bennett sped away for the sixth. The holes were opening up all over the place for Glasgow at that point and after losing their last three in the Pro 12 they basked in all the space they were given. Horne's fifth conversion from six brought it to 40-10. Horne ran in the seventh to throw another seven-points into the mix.
Morgan got one back for the Dragons at the end, converted by Dorian Jones, but this was another thumping for the Welsh side - and more than a century of points conceded in two games.
For Glasgow, it was a needed confidence booster for the Warriors ahead of what promises to be a hugely testing Pro 12 run-in. They have Connacht at home next, then Munster and Leinster away either side of a visit from Zebre. They finish with Edinburgh at Scotstoun. They're going to have to win most if not all of those game to make the top four. This will at least give them a lot of heart for the hard road ahead.

We're told our attention spans are short. That we cannot focus on anything beyond 140 characters, or without lists accentuated by quirky reaction gifs.
And yet Medium somehow manages to fend off this trend - encouraging the construction of a coherent argument via, primarily, long-form writing. The site is not built to reward clicks, but reads - and in doing so has fostered a different kind of community. It's almost… nice.
Almost entirely organically, Medium has become an outlet for people who already have the biggest audiences in the world. Think Bill Gates, Bono and even President Obama, who posted his State of the Union address on Medium, in full, before he delivered it to Congress.
And when a high-flying Amazon exec wanted to reignite a spat with the New York Times, he did so on Medium — despite Amazon's owner, Jeff Bezos, owning the legendary Washington Post. The Times, incidentally, responded on Medium.
Why?
"What we're trying to do is create the default place to write and publish anything of substance that you want the world to see," says Evan Williams, Medium's founder and chief executive.
Williams' office, just off San Francisco's Market Street, overlooks a city full of people desperately seeking the next idea that makes it big.
Williams has had three.
First, Blogger - a platform, eventually bought by Google, that was largely responsible for bringing us the verb "to blog".
Then came Twitter, which he co-founded in 2006 along with with Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone and Noah Glass. It's a site that has become synonymous with everything that is good, bad, hilarious and miserable on the web. Its verb: "to tweet".
Medium doesn't have a verb, yet. But it is going places. At the tail-end of 2015, more than two million posts had been published - a feat that's only impressive when you consider Medium posts, on the whole, are long. Some data digging by the company concluded that a post that takes seven minutes to read gathers the most attention.
On the internet, seven minutes is eons.
"The truth is people still read," Williams tells me. "All day long."
Right now, people are reading about politics. Several of the Presidential candidates have a presence on Medium, seeing it as a way of sharing policy beyond what they can shout during television debates.
"There's a need for more substantive thought and commentary, from whoever has to offer it," Williams says.
"We're trying to raise the level of discourse and get out of the soundbite world, for people who really care about what's going on."
Much of that commentary comes from media organisations, many of which have flocked to Medium despite having substantial web properties of their own.
Medium helps this happen: as well as a personal profile, Medium offers the creation of Publications - curated spaces that resemble homepages rather than blogs. With these, the news business is finding a captive and enthusiastic audience on Medium.
Somewhat oddly, companies usually extremely guarded about their own editorial product are simply giving it away to Medium - though that's about to change.
"We're building monetisation into the product right now," says Williams, predicting a roll-out of the features within a month or so.
"We're not limiting ourselves to advertising," he says, stressing that Medium won't become a mess of banner ads but instead "sponsored" content.
"I also think there's a lot of potential for premium or subscription or even user-paid content. Some sort of paywall or membership."
While text will remain the focus, Williams is also thinking about expanding into other online content - such as video and podcasts.
Williams predicts, and is banking on, a time when it'll be largely pointless for media companies to build and maintain their own online spaces.
"I think publishers who are experimenting with Medium are seeing a world where it's not about having a website.
"There are not going to be tens of millions of websites that lots of people go to every day.
"If you're a quality journalist or content creator, I think you can find an audience, I think you can find engagement, and I think you can find money."
Last month, a story written in the Sarawak Report - one such publication hosted on Medium - alleged corruption involving the Malaysian prime minister.
After Medium's legal team refused to remove the article in question, the Malaysian government forced at least some internet service providers to block the entire Medium network.
"The post stays up," wrote Medium's legal team.
But other posts do come down.
It's a "cat and mouse" game, says Medium lawyer Alex Feerst - one where the company must keep on top of large amounts of spam and other nefarious posts.
Medium has started to develop machine-learning tools to alleviate some of the workload from a safety team that consists of just five people - two of them part-time.
What a machine can't determine, though, is what constitutes harassment. Here the team walks an almost impossible tightrope, one which Twitter already seems to be falling off as high-profile users flee.
"If someone feels that they have been a victim of something, and wants to come on Medium and expose that story, that has implications for the people that they name," explains Sarah Agudo, Medium's head of legal.
"We aren't in a position to be arbiters of what's the truth and what's right or not."
Feerst says the team discusses at length the implications of maintaining Medium as a "safe space" - a consequence of an internet that is changing.
"There was an era when people did the bare minimum and just said 'we're not taking it down, it all stays up'. That era in some ways is over, because doing the bare minimum is less than we're going to do.
"We are going to take things down that are unsafe, that are hate speech, that are harassment. It's not a legal obligation, it's an obligation to the ecosystem of the site."
But there's one massively important principle, Feerst stresses.
"You shouldn't necessarily be kept safe from other people challenging your ideas."
Then again, of all the places online, Medium can sometimes seem the least likely place to be confronted with a view different to your own.
In its bid to be the home of civil conversation online, the design team has implemented several mechanisms that greatly shape the discussion on the site.
Primarily, comments and reactions from people you already know - say, because you follow them on Twitter - are given precedence over comments from people you're not connected with.
This results in huge swathes of posts that feel as though San Francisco techies are largely talking among themselves, about issues largely absent from realities beyond the US west coast.
"You should quit your job and do what you love!", the rich people queue up to write.
Medium knows this. And the design team is working on introducing dissenting, contrary views, while keeping things polite.
"We think about how can we help complement your viewpoints," says Brad Simpson, product designer.
"One of the things I care a lot about is showing a spectrum of vantage points. So we can have a shared conversation."
One feature that helps is Highlights, a method in which commenters can make points about specific passages of text. In theory, this discourages visitors from rushing to the bottom of articles to declare, in a way that's pointlessly broad, that the piece is "a load of rubbish".
But the reputation Medium has gained as an echo-chamber for the tech elite - and insufferable self-help experts - could grow into an embarrassment for the network, as Williams is well aware.
"It's more diverse than people may realise," he says.
"Just like Twitter - it started in San Francisco among people that we knew because that's how networks grow, with early adopters.
"Is it where we want to get it? Not yet. We want it to be about everything of import."
It's impossible not to compare the emergence of Medium with the rise of Twitter.
Both found popularity thanks to excitable Silicon Valley-types; both are a platform designed for free and open discussion, even if that's not always possible; and both can thrust previously unknown people under the critical gaze of millions.
They share the same street and the same co-founder. Does Williams worry about the future of beleaguered Twitter?
"The core service is healthy, it provides something that nothing else does," Williams says.
"I think being [a public company] is challenging. The biggest problem is that we need to innovate on the product side. I'm optimistic that there are big things coming for Twitter."
I ask him bluntly: is Twitter for sale?
"No. The media swings these things in extremes," he says.
Maybe it does. Maybe I am. As we end our interview I tell Williams, as many people apparently do, that I simply can't imagine an internet without Twitter humming in the background, providing the collective train of thought.
Could Medium some day come to be seen the same way? A vital internet utility, but without becoming a place too distressing for many to inhabit?
Few have done as much for free speech on the internet as Evan Williams - but even he must be daunted by what could lie ahead.

Samuel Hertz will spend a year working to create the piece of electro-acoustic chamber music.
The new annual competition, which has a £15,000 prize, is aimed at getting artists and scientists to work together creatively.
It is organised by Opera North and the University of Leeds.
Mr Hertz was chosen from a shortlist of five artists who proposed works which included whale choir, the exploration of cosmic bubbles and a slime study.
The composer, who is based in Berlin and San Francisco, will work with researchers from the University of Leeds and staff at Opera North on the piece.
The piece will be "felt rather than heard" and will examine how that will effect an audience's mood and feelings.
He said: "I expect this year will be enlightening and productive both for my practice, and the practices of my collaborators in our joint expedition into the drama of the unheard realm of infrasound."
The results of the year-long collaboration between artist and scientists will be revealed in March 2018.
In the general election two years ago, 138 people put their name forward.

The Democratic Unionist Party is standing aside in Fermanagh South Tyrone but is fighting the remaining 17 seats.
In addition to North Down, the Ulster Unionist Party is not contesting North Belfast, West Belfast or Foyle.
The Green Party and the Conservative Party are both fighting seven seats, People Before Profit two seats, and the Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), just one.
The UK Independence Party, which put up 10 candidates in 2015, is not contesting any Northern Ireland seats this time around.
The number of TUV and Conservative candidates is also sharply reduced - the TUV fielded 10 candidates in 2015, and the Conservatives, 16.
One candidate is standing for the Citizens Independent Social Thought Alliance, formed by ex-members of the Cannabis is Safer Than Alcohol party and sharing the same initials.
Four independents are in the race including Lady Hermon.

Chelsea's offer was below Everton's original £50m price tag - although it is likely this will be reduced as he has only one year left on his contract.
The 23-year-old has turned down a new deal at his boyhood club.
His situation is further complicated by a serious hamstring injury which could keep him out for three months.
Chelsea are expected to return for further discussions and Tottenham, long-time admirers of Barkley, could enter discussions.
Everton must also weigh up whether to take an offer lower than their original price or risk losing Barkley on a free transfer in 12 months.
In his review of the 569bhp Aston Vanquish for the Sunday Times driving magazine he said he took sections of the Isle of Man's TT course "flat out".
Manx police said they were "making some inquiries".
Martin, 33, said he completed his lap of the 37.7 mile (60 km) TT course in the £203,000 supercar in 22 minutes.
The television presenter, from Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire, had his review published on 7 April.
Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition
In it Martin, a favourite to take over from Jeremy Clarkson as a host on Top Gear, said he saw speeds of 180mph down Sulby straight, which has a 40mph speed limit.
He also wrote that when he passed Union Mills, on to a section with no speed limit, he thought "right, let's have it" and that he later took a corner called Ballacrye, near the village of Ballaugh, with the "accelerator flat to the floor".
He completed his lap of the course at about 06:00 BST.
The mechanic, who has never won a TT but finished on the podium more than 20 times, can complete a lap of the TT course in about 17-and-a-half minutes during a Superbike race.
The TT sees competitors reach speeds in excess of 200mph around closed roads each June.
Roedd cais Remi Lamaret wedi rhoi'r Ffrancwyr ar y blaen ar yr egwyl, ond fe aeth Cymru ar y blaen yn yr ail hanner diolch i gicio cywir Leigh Halfpenny.
Parhaodd Les Bleus i bwyso yn y munudau olaf, gyda Samson Lee ac yna Dan Biggar yn cael cardiau melyn wrth i'r crysau cochion droseddu dro ar ôl tro i'w hatal.
Ond croesodd Damien Chouly i sicrhau na fyddai tîm Rob Howley yn gorffen eu hymgyrch yn y Chwe Gwlad eleni ar nodyn uchel.
Fe aeth cic gosb gyntaf y gêm i Ffrainc, ond cafodd Cymru ddihangfa wrth i ymdrech Camille Lopez o 45 metr ddod o fewn trwch blewyn i gyrraedd y pyst.
Daeth y pwyntiau'n fuan wedyn, wrth i gic Lopez dros yr amddiffyn gael ei chasglu'n dwt a'i thirio gan Lamerat dan y pyst.
Parhaodd y tîm cartref i bwyso, ac fe gafodd y bwlch ei ymestyn i ddeg pwynt gan Lopez wedi i Gymru gael eu cosbi am ddymchwel y sgrym.
Ond yna cafodd asgellwr Ffrainc, Virimi Vakatawa gerdyn melyn am daro'r bêl ymlaen wrth atal pas Biggar rhag cyrraedd George North am gais hawdd, ac fe drosodd Halfpenny ei bwyntiau cyntaf o'r prynhawn o'r gic gosb canlynol.
Ychwanegodd Halfpenny dri phwynt arall yn absenoldeb Vakatawa, cyn trosi am y trydydd gwaith funudau cyn yr egwyl i gau'r bwlch i bwynt.
Llwyddodd Cymru i wrthsefyll pwysau yn eu 22ain eu hunain ar ddechrau'r ail hanner, cyn i drosedd gan Ffrainc ar y llinell hanner ganiatáu i Halfpenny gicio Cymru ar y blaen am y tro cyntaf.
Yn dilyn rhagor o bwysau gan y crysau cochion llwyddodd y cefnwr gyda'i bumed gic gosb o'r prynhawn ac ymestyn y fantais i bum pwynt gyda chwarter awr yn weddill.
Tarodd Ffrainc yn ôl yn syth gydag ail gic cosb gan Lopez, cyn i Halfpenny ymestyn y fantais i bum pwynt unwaith eto ar ôl tacl uchel ar Ken Owens.
Treuliodd y Les Bleus weddill yr ornest yn gwthio'n galed ar linell gais Cymru, gan roi sgrym yr ymwelwyr dan bwysau cynyddol.
Cyrhaeddodd y cloc 94 o funudau yn dilyn ciciau cosb niferus i'r tîm cartref, ac oedi wrth i'r dyfarnwr teledu weld a oedd un o chwaraewyr Ffrainc wedi brathu braich North.
Roedd Cymru hefyd yn gynddeiriog bod Ffrainc wedi eilyddio'r prop Uini Atonio gydag anaf honedig, gan awgrymu mai rhesymau tactegol yn hytrach oedd y rheswm am y newid.
Ac fe ddaeth y cais o'r diwedd wedi bron i 100 munud o chwarae wrth i Chouly groesi o'r sgarmes, gyda throsiad Lopez yn cipio'r fuddugoliaeth.
Mae'r canlyniad yn golygu y bydd Cymru'n gorffen yn bumed ym Mhencampwriaeth y Chwe Gwlad eleni, ar ôl colli tair o'u pum gêm.
Jurors, who began deliberating last Thursday at Southwark Crown Court, must agree 10-2 for a verdict to be reached.
Mr Harris, 86, denies six indecent assaults and one sexual assault on victims aged 12 - 42, from 1971 to 2004.
Allegations include him touching girls inappropriately when asked to sign autographs.
Prosecutors told the court Mr Harris had an "appetite" for groping women and girls in public places.
Jonathan Rees QC said it was striking that so many allegations involved Mr Harris "getting away with a sly, quick grope right under the noses of people who did not notice."
Stephen Vullo QC, defending, said it was hard to imagine "a harder or faster or deeper fall from grace".
He blamed a "media frenzy" for making Mr Harris "vulnerable to people making accusations against him".
Mr Vullo said Mr Harris was innocent of these latest charges, as well as indecent assaults over which he was convicted in 2014.
Mr Harris, who found success with novelty pop hits and on children's TV, is serving a prison sentence for indecent assaults on four females.
He declined to give evidence at his second trial, choosing to watch proceedings on a videolink from Stafford prison, and later from the dock with a hearing loop.
Teachers belonging to the union will not partake in school inspections by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) from 1 February.
Three other teaching unions - the INTO, UTU and ATL - are already taking similar action in a dispute over pay.
NASUWT members in Belfast and Newtownabbey staged a one-day strike in November.
Teachers belonging to the union in Derry City, Strabane, Mid Ulster, Fermanagh and Omagh council areas will hold a further strike on 31 January.
Members of the INTO union also held a half-day strike on 18 January.
The NASUWT has now announced an escalation of action short of strike action, which includes a range of measures.
As well as refusing to co-operate with school inspections, NASUWT members will end participation in CCEA end of key stage assessments.
The union has also instructed them not to attend "any meetings or events" during or after school, "or during the lunch break".
In October, all teaching unions in Northern Ireland rejected an offer that would have seen their pay frozen last year and a rise of 1% for 2016-17.
Education Minister Peter Weir had previously criticised the industrial action.
"I would ask teaching unions to reflect on any planned disruption, as industrial action is not in the interests of children, schools or teachers themselves," he said.
"I would urge them to go back to the negotiating table for future years and to accept that the pay offer they walked away from is not in a position to be improved upon." | In making a hundred on day one of the fourth Test against India, Keaton Jennings showed an excellent attitude for a young man of 24 playing in his first Test innings.

Film-maker Shannah Laumeister, 43, who said the two were secretly married in 2009, confirmed he died at his home in New York on Wednesday.
Stern photographed Monroe for Vogue magazine, just weeks before she died from a drug overdose in 1962.
Other celebrities he photographed included Audrey Hepburn and Twiggy.
Laumeister said: "He'll be remembered as someone who loved women and loved taking pictures and putting things he felt strongly about in the camera.
"His images will live forever and wow generations to come," she said, adding that the Monroe images "go beyond the photograph and become a work of art".
Stern took more than 2,500 photographs of Monroe during the intimate three-day shoot at the Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles, six weeks before her death in 1962.
The nude and semi-nude images - including several which Monroe rejected for magazine publication - were published in a 1982 book titled The Last Sitting, and a second book, Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting, that came out in 2000.
In a documentary about the photographer made by Laumeister, Stern said: "It was a one-time-in-a-lifetime experience to have Marilyn Monroe in a hotel room, even though it was turned into a studio."
A collection of 36 photographs taken during The Last Sitting were auctioned in New York for nearly $150,000 (£102,581) in 2008.
Born in Brooklyn, Stern photographed a host of celebrities such as such as Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and Truman Capote during a career that spanned 50 years.
He was also highly regarded as an advertising photographer, launching his career with a campaign for Smirnoff Vodka.
The image showed a V-shaped glass of vodka set in the front of an Egyptian pyramid.
Along with contemporaries Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, he is credited with transforming commercial photographs into conceptual art. He also took the publicity shots for Stanley Kubrick's 1962 drama, Lolita.
Bruce Barnes, director of the George Eastman House, a museum of photography and film in Rochester, New York, said: "He was an enormously innovative photographer, both as a commercial photographer and a photographer of celebrities and fashion models. And one of the great people in his field."
The museum is preparing to present Stern's only documentary film, Jazz on a Summer's Day, which he made in the late 1950s, about the Newport Jazz Festival.
Stern and Laumeister had been scheduled to attend a screening of Laumeister's documentary in August, Barnes said.

It is 10 years to the day since the three-year-old disappeared while on holiday in Portugal.
Vitor dos Santos took the booking for the McCann family holiday at the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz in 2007.
In his first interview, Mr dos Santos told BBC Panorama he had nothing to do with Madeleine's disappearance.
He was originally interviewed by the Portuguese detectives in 2007, but was questioned again by the Metropolitan Police two years ago.
Mr dos Santos said British detectives asked him the same questions as the Portuguese: "They make the questions as usual.
"The same questions as when the girl went missing - that's it.
"The police asked just the things about our job, because I was the head of some departments, but now I lost the job," he said.
"The people said it's because of Maddie McCann reasons that I lost the job."
Mr Dos Santos now runs boat tours for tourists in the nearby town of Lagos.
The British investigation into Madeleine's disappearance was started in 2011 at the request of the then Prime Minister David Cameron. It has already cost more than £11m.
Scotland Yard has focused on the theory that the three-year-old was taken during a burglary that went wrong.
In 2014, British detectives also questioned four men from Praia Da Luz.
They were made official suspects, or arguidos, and have been living under suspicion for almost three years.
Paulo Ribeiro - one of the four suspects - told BBC Panorama that he was shocked to be questioned about how Madeleine went missing.
"I thought it was incredible, as I knew of nothing when the police arrived at my door with a piece of paper that had a drawing on it, saying it bore a likeness to me, and that someone had said I was involved and that I looked like the person who had kidnapped Maddie.
"I don't know who that person was."
All four suspects denied any involvement in the disappearance of Madeleine.
The Portuguese police clearly believe them.
Pedro Do Carmo, deputy director of the Policia Judiciaria, told Panorama that he had never considered them to be suspects.
"I can only say that we questioned those people on request of the Metropolitan Police and only based on the request of the Metropolitan Police.
"We never questioned those people. We never saw or looked at those people as suspects of the crime."

Last week, Scotland Yard announced there was no evidence to implicate the four men and the case against them had been closed.
The Met say it is pursuing new lines of enquiry and that it has not ruled out the burglary theory.
But many in Portugal are sceptical.
Carlos Anjos, the former head of the Policia Judiciaria officers' union, told Panorama the British investigation has been a waste of £11m.
"This burglary theory is absurd.
"Not even a wallet disappeared, no television disappeared, nothing else disappeared.
"A child disappeared."

Denis Villeneuve, who directed Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal in kidnap drama Prisoners, is in talks to direct.
The story takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 film, which was based on Philip K Dick novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
The film is scheduled to start shooting in the summer of 2016.
The cult 1982 film, directed by Sir Ridley Scott, saw Deckard hunting down genetically engineered lifelike robots, known as replicants, in a futuristic Los Angeles, set in 2019.
The latest instalment - reportedly based on an idea from Scott, who will also produce the new film - has been written by Hampton Fancher, who co-wrote the original screenplay. He will be joined fellow screenwriter Michael Green.
"We are honoured that Harrison is joining us on this journey," said producers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson in a joint statement.
"Hampton and Michael, with Sir Ridley Scott, have crafted a uniquely potent and faithful sequel to one of the most universally celebrated films of all time, and we couldn't be more thrilled with this amazing, creative team."
It marks the third time Ford has returned to an iconic role. In 2008, he returned to the role of Indiana Jones nearly 20 years after the franchise came to a halt in 1989.
Later this year, the 72-year-old will reprise the role of Han Solo in the latest addition to the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Last year he broke his leg on the set of the film.
The Cherhill White Horse, cut into the Marlborough Downs, is owned and maintained by the village of Cherhill.
The 18th Century landmark underwent a major facelift in 2002 after losing its whiteness and shape, but now requires a "re-chalking" every two years.
David Grafton, from Cherhill, said 14 tons of chalk would be needed to "groom the horse" and restore it.
The horse is the second oldest in Wiltshire and one of nine in the county.
To combat discolouring from the weather, it used to be continuously scraped to reveal fresh chalk.
Now, to avoid the figure sinking below the surrounding ground, the ancient monument is topped up with extra chalk.
"The chalk had been bagged up and transported up the hill, ready to be slid down the bank to the horse," said Mr Grafton.
"After the surface of the horse has been cleaned of weeds and the outline tidied, the chalk will be spread on the cleaned surface. Obviously, the work will not do itself so additional volunteers are welcome to come and help."
The re-chalking is taking place from 10:00 BST and is expected to take up to six hours.

The 18-year-old is in her first season as a professional and has been given a wildcard for the Aegon Open at the Nottingham Tennis Centre on 4-12 June.
"I can't wait," Christie told BBC Sport. "It will be a great experience.
"It's amazing it will be at my home town as well. I hope I can compete."
The first round gets under way on Monday, with the draw taking place on Saturday.
Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka and British top three Johanna Konta, Heather Watson and Naomi Broady are all confirmed - as is former British number one Laura Robson.
"I don't mind who I play," said Christie. "Anyone is a challenge in this draw but the bigger the challenge the better."
Christie was part of the Great Britain Fed Cup squad that travelled to Israel earlier this year and reached the semi-finals of the ITF Incheon Women's Challenger - a $25,000 ITF Pro Circuit event on hard courts in South Korea - last week.
The Hucknall-born player has also won three ITF Pro Circuit doubles titles since November last year and was runner-up in the singles of the Aegon GB Pro-Series Shrewsbury event last year.
"It's my first year out of juniors and I feel like I am making good progress," she added.
"It's a big step - all the players are top 100 so they know what they are doing and have good experience."
Before going to the Kashmir Valley that was devastated by floods last month, Mr Modi made a brief visit to the Siachen glacier.
The area is claimed by both India and Pakistan, which each have thousands of troops stationed there.
"The BJP... is hoping to cash in on the anger of the people against Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's patchy rehabilitation of the seven lakh [700,000] people displaced by the September floods," writes the Deccan Chronicle, referring to upcoming state elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
But it adds that the prime minister had tried "to kill two birds, domestic and international, with one stone".
With "Mission Kashmir", India's leader also wanted to tell Pakistan "that the status of Jammu and Kashmir is non-negotiable", the daily concludes.
The New Indian Express also thinks that Mr Modi's trip "was fraught with political significance that goes beyond the BJP's electoral imperatives".
"Having given the armed forces full operational freedom to respond to the escalation of ceasefire violations by Pakistan forces, Modi wants to give a clear message that the trust gap between the country's civilian authority and the armed forces that lurked during the UPA [Congress-led United Progressive Alliance] dispensation no longer exists."
Commenting on the $120 million aid package announced for the state, the daily argues that the prime minister "has offered a road map for reconstruction of the devastated region" that can "be effective in bringing Jammu and Kashmir into the mainstream of the country's growth story".
The ruling parties in the state, the National Conference and its coalition partner Congress, have criticised the assistance as a "big let down", arguing that it "doesn't go far enough".
Media report that the authorities have filed a criminal case against the school in Bangalore where a three-year-old nursery student was allegedly raped earlier this week.
Hindustan Times says that no arrests have been made yet, but that three staff members were supposedly picked up by the police for questioning.
The Deccan Chronicle quotes reports as saying that a school attendant has been detained.
The incident has led to angry protests in Bangalore. It happened just three months after a six-year-old girl was raped at another private school in the city.

Derek Forsyth's team, vying for a World League final spot in India in December, fell behind to Gordon Johnston goal following a penalty corner as the second quarter ended.
Surbiton's Willie Marshall levelled for the Blue Sticks in the third quarter.
But failure to win means they miss out on a last-eight place in London.
Victory would have lifted Scotland, competing at this level for the first time, above Pakistan into fourth spot in Pool B, behind India, the Netherlands and Canada. All three of those countries are ranked at least 10 places higher than the Scots in world hockey.
They lost their opening match against India 4-1 and suffered a 3-0 defeat by the Netherlands prior to Monday's 3-1 loss to Pakistan.
Scotland will play a ninth/10th-place play-off against Malaysia, China or South Korea on Thursday at 11:00 BST.
Head coach Forsyth said: "I felt we were the better side in the second half, but at this level we need to take our chances.
"This has been a fantastic experience for all of us and we will take plenty from the tournament into the Europeans in August."
The Hockey World League semi-final in London features 10 teams, including England in Pool A, and precedes the second semi-final tournament in Johannesburg, which runs from 9-23 July.
Seven teams proceed to December's finals in Bhubaneswar to join hosts India.
Ten teams from the London and Johannesburg semi-finals will join India and the five continental champions at next year's World Cup, which is also being staged in Bhubaneswar.

The Electoral Commission said Royal Mail was told not to fold leaflets with its material but there were instances where this had been breached.
Caerphilly MP Wayne David said it had happened "in large parts of Wales".
Royal Mail said it was not its policy to fold leaflets together.
A spokesman said: "It appears that in a small number of cases some leaflets may have been folded together with other mail simply for ease of posting through letter boxes. This is not our policy.
"All staff have again been reminded that this is not our policy. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and have already spoken to the Electoral Commission."
Mr David raised the issue in parliament, saying: "In large parts of Wales this leaflet has been distributed by post inside a very, very good leaflet from the Electoral Commission which explains the voting system for Welsh assembly and the PCC elections.
"We are trying to get to the root to how this happened but if in fact it's the Royal Mail that is responsible for this, will he [the speaker] join me in condemning them?"
An Electoral Commission spokeswoman said it was a politically neutral organisation and did not support any referendum campaigning organisation.
"We have raised these concerns with Royal Mail," she said.
Another three ex-policemen were sentenced to 20 years hard labour.
Mr Habre is currently in Senegal's custody, awaiting trial for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Dubbed "Africa's Pinochet" by his critics, he denies that thousands of people were killed and tortured during his rule from 1982 to 1990.
The men sentenced to life in prison include Mahamat Djibrine, described by investigators as one of the "most feared torturers in Chad", and Saleh Younouss, a former senior official in Mr Habre's notorious Directorate of Documentation and Security Directorate (DDS).
BBC French Service analyst Abdourahmane Dia says the other five men to receive life imprisonment were sentenced in absentia, as they had fled Chad after Habre's overthrow.
In 2008, Mr Habre was sentenced to death in Chad in absentia for planning to overthrow the government.
A special court, set up by the African Union and Senegal, is due to try him for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during his rule.
Mr Habre was living in exile in Senegal at the time of his arrest in 2013.
No date has been set for the case, which will be the first use of universal jurisdiction in Africa.
Daimler uses the refrigerant, called R-134a, in the air-conditioning units of Mercedes cars.
The Commission says Germany failed to apply an EU directive called MAC, which requires the use of a refrigerant "with less global warming potential".
Daimler says the new chemical, R1234yf, catches fire more easily.
The court case comes as German car firm Volkswagen remains under huge international pressure over its failure to comply with car emission standards.
According to the Commission, Daimler's safety concerns about R1234yf "were not shared by any other car manufacturer and were rejected by Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, KBA) and the [Commission's] Joint Research Centre".
If Germany loses the case at the European Court of Justice (ECJ) - the EU's top court - it could be liable for a big fine.
The MAC Directive - short for mobile air-conditioning systems - says fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential (GPW) higher than 150 must no longer be used.
Since 2011 MAC systems in cars have had to comply with the directive.
But what happened on Tuesday was both extraordinary and unprecedented. The resignation of an American national security adviser had Russian politicians reacting furiously and jumping to Michael Flynn's defence.
At the upper house of the Russian parliament, senator Alexei Pushkov tweeted that Mr Flynn was the victim of "paranoia and a witch hunt".
In a message posted online, the head of the parliament's foreign affairs committee, Konstantin Kosachev, claimed that "either Donald Trump has been driven into a corner or the new administration has been permeated with Russopohobia from top to bottom".
The language from Moscow is both colourful and angry.
That is because the Russians had high hopes for Mr Flynn. They saw him as an influential figure who championed closer ties between America and Russia.
Mr Flynn was well known to Moscow. In the past he was a semi-regular contributor to RT, Russia's state-controlled English-language TV channel.
Two years ago, Mr Flynn attended an RT gala dinner in Moscow and sat at the same table as Vladimir Putin.
But the Russians are not only disappointed. I detect a degree of embarrassment here, too.
As late as yesterday, the Kremlin was continuing to insist that, before President Trump stepped into the White House, there had been no conversations between Moscow and Washington about sanctions.
Asked by journalists today about Mr Flynn's resignation, Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin "wouldn't like to comment on this".
"It's the internal affair of the Trump administration. It has nothing to do with us. We have commented many times on this subject. We have nothing more to add."
I asked Mr Peskov if, after Mr Flynn's resignation, he continued to assert there had been no discussion of sanctions.
"I repeat: I have nothing more to add. We don't want to comment on this."
It's not all bad news for Moscow. Far from it.
From the kind of comments he has been making in recent months, Mr Trump comes across as the most pro-Russia president in modern US history; the Russians are still counting on him to improve relations between Moscow and Washington, to ease sanctions and help bring Russia in from the cold.
Which is why the Russian state media avoids criticising President Trump; instead, it accuses his alleged "opponents" and "enemies" within the US establishment, intelligence services and American media of plotting to undermine Mr Trump's attempts to improve US-Russian ties.
And if America's 45th president fails to deliver what Moscow is waiting for?
In that case, instead of becoming a partner, America would most likely become the "enemy" again; a useful scapegoat to deflect attention from Russia's own problems at home.
She said it needed to be reviewed, as she was asked about what her party would do to increase security.
Prevent was set up by Labour in 2003 and its remit was widened by the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition in 2011.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd recently said if the Conservatives were re-elected, the strategy would receive more money.
Setting out her views on Prevent on the Andrew Marr Show, Ms Lucas said: "Many in the Muslim community believe it's been an attack on their group in particular.
"We absolutely want there to be a mechanism whereby people can come to the state with concerns, but when it is perceived by the Muslim community itself as being a toxic Big Brother brand, then we need to look at it again."
Prevent is designed to support people at risk of joining extremist groups and carrying out terrorist activities, focusing on schools, faith organisations, prisons and other communities where people can be at risk of radicalisation.
Ms Lucas also defended her opposition to mass online surveillance, saying the security services should focus on "targeted" measures.
The Green co-leader told Andrew Marr she and colleague Baroness Jones had been labelled "domestic extremists" in the past by police because of their campaigning and protesting activities, which was, she said, a waste of officers' time and resources.
Great Western Railway (GWR) launched a campaign to find the owners of more than 40 toys in its lost property in November 2014.
It had previously failed and the cuddly animals were due to be donated to charity.
However, GWR said two bunny toys had successfully been returned to their owners.
The toys, which also included bears, monkeys, a hedgehog, penguin and lion, were all found on GWR trains.
Any remaining unclaimed toys have been washed and are expected to be donated to children's charities.
The operation, which took place on Monday at a government hospital in the capital, Tehran, was said to be "routine".
An announcement about the surgery ahead of the procedure was unprecedented, as the Ayatollah's health is traditionally a confidential subject.
The 75-year-old cleric has led Iran since 1989 and is its top authority.
Earlier on Monday, Ayatollah Khamenei was seen on Iranian state television asking people to pray for him, but said there was "no room for concern".
Ayatollah Khamenei's health has always been a secret topic in Iran, like other aspects of his personal life, says BBC Persian's Bozorgmehr Sharafedin.
In January 2007 a rumour of the Ayatollah's death spread in Iran and the world, simply because he did not announce he had a bad case of flu and could not attend public ceremonies, our reporter says.
The Ayatollah's appearance on TV before the surgery and announcement of the news by himself is a clear change of approach. Either he knows that the critical situation in Iran and the region cannot bear another rumour of his death, or he has decided to be more open about his personal life, our reporter adds.
In 1989, Ayatollah Khamenei succeeded the first Supreme Leader and founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, following Khomeini's death.
As the country's highest authority, Ayatollah Khamenei's power outranks all politicians, including the country's President Hassan Rouhani.

A mixture of ash and concrete will be put into the 40m (130ft) deep chasm outside The Laurels, in Oakamoor, in April.
The business had already been forced to close after cracks appeared in the property and the car park.
As BBC Midlands Today's David Gregory-Kumar reports, the work forms part of a £2m scheme to stabilise the whole area.
A new study says that green vegetation has helped offset a large fraction of human related carbon emissions between 2002 and 2014.
Plants and trees have become more absorbent say the authors, because of so much extra CO2 in the atmosphere.
The slowdown, though, can't keep pace with the overall scale of emissions.
Over the past 50 years, the amount of CO2 absorbed by the Earth's oceans, plants and vegetation has doubled and these carbon sinks now account for about 45% of the gas emitted each year because of human activities.
Researchers now report that since the start of the 21st century there has been a significant change in the amount of carbon dioxide taken up by the plants and trees. The new analysis suggests that between 2002 and 2014 the amount of human caused CO2 remaining in the atmosphere declined by around 20%.
Reports earlier this year indicated that there has been an increase in the number of trees and plants growing on the Earth, the so-called greening of the planet. But the authors of this new study believe that this isn't the main cause of the slowdown in the rise of CO2.
"There have been reports of the greening of the land surface but what we found was that was of secondary importance to the direct effect of CO2 fertilisation on the plants that are already there," lead author Dr Trevor Keenan told BBC News.
"We have a huge amount of vegetation on the Earth and that was being fertilised by CO2 and taking in more CO2 as a result."
Another important element in the story is the impact of a hiatus in global temperature increases on the behaviour of plants. Between 1998 and 2012 temperatures went up by less than in previous decades. This has impacted the respiration of vegetation.
"The soils and ecosystem are respiring so as temperatures increase they respire more, releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Keenan.
"In the past decade or so there hasn't been much of an increase in global temperatures, so that meant there wasn't much of an increase in respiration and carbon release so that was fundamentally different in the past decade or so compared to previous periods."
One consequence of a warming world that has been expected to increase was the number of droughts around the world. However, this new study suggests that, on a global scale, there has been little or no change in the prevalence of drought over recent decades.
Overall though the slowdown caused by vegetation hasn't stemmed the total rise of carbon which has now passed the symbolically important level of 400 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere.
"This study highlights just how sensitive the natural environment is to a changing climate and how important it is to protect natural vegetation so it continues to absorb part of our carbon emissions," said Prof Corinne Le Quéré, director of the Tyndall Centre at the University of East Anglia, who wasn't involved in the study.
"Fundamentally, though, the carbon sinks help but their help is not enough to stop the planet getting warmer - far from that - carbon emissions have to drop to almost zero to stop global warming."
One of the big lessons from the new report is that land carbon sinks are not set in stone and do have the potential to change over time. If they could be managed properly, it might help some countries to cut their emissions and limit climate change.
The authors of the study say that the pause in the growth of atmospheric carbon will almost certainly be a temporary phenomenon. As temperatures rise, these green sinks could in fact become sources of CO2.
"Now we are seeing plants slow down the rate of climate change," said Dr Keenan.
"But if we are not careful and we don't do anything about climate change all that CO2 could be put back in the atmosphere later and that would really accelerate the rate of warming.
"It may be hitting the brakes right now but it can really punch the accelerator later."
The study has been published in the journal Nature Communications.

The owners of the Bicester Village shopping outlet will fund the £3m car park, with almost 600 spaces, on land close to the complex off the A41.
It will serve both the site and drivers heading into Bicester itself, and regular buses will also run into central Oxford.
The aim is to have the facility up and running before Christmas.
Traders in Bicester have welcomed the scheme which they say should help reduce traffic congestion which has been a problem at peak times.
Bicester shopkeeper Rob Douglas previously said it would be "a good thing as long as it feeds the town as well as Bicester Village".
The park and ride scheme is part of £11m plans to combat congestion in the area, which includes new junctions, a roundabout and extra lanes.
NI Screen, which helps fund the series, estimates it has brought almost £150m into the local economy since production began in 2010.
The worldwide hit fantasy drama receives generous tax breaks to film in Northern Ireland.
However, NI Screen insists the returns are high.
Chief Executive Richard Williams said: "In terms of jobs and services here, we're just creeping up to £150 million across the six seasons.
"To be very clear about that, that is spent on people who live here and on services that are provided by people here."
Tourism NI also believes the industry is getting a boost from Game of Thrones visitors who want to see landmarks from the show in reality.
The marketing body is currently collating figures to establish just how much fans of the show spend in Northern Ireland.
Judith Webb, Tourism NI's Experience Development Officer, said: "We can see already that businesses are growing on the back of the Game of Thrones series.
"Two years ago, there were three operators promoting Game of Thrones experiences and now we've over 25 with more in the pipeline.
"Those businesses are also reporting that business has doubled each year upon year which is just tremendous.
"People come for Game of Thrones and stay for Northern Ireland."
Like every TV show, Game of Thrones will eventually come to an end.
So what happens when it wraps up?
Richard Williams said: "There are people in China who don't know where Northern Ireland is, but they know Titanic and they know Game of Thrones, and we need to capitalise on that.
"Game of Thrones will leave us with two really substantial legacies.
"From my point of view, the most substantial one is the infrastructure - the film studios.
"On the other side of it, there is a huge legacy piece in terms of the awareness Game of Thrones has driven for Northern Ireland and importantly right across the globe."
Bridcutt made 27 appearances for Leeds last season after joining the Championship club on loan in November.
The 27-year-old signed for Sunderland from Brighton for a £3m fee in January 2014, but played in only 30 Premier League games for the Black Cats.
He made his Scotland debut against Serbia in 2013, and won his second cap in a 1-0 win over Denmark in March.

Provan, who can also play as a winger, left Notts' fellow Women's Super League One club Reading at the end of the 2016 WSL season.
She said: "I'm very excited to join such an experienced squad."
Manager Rick Passmoor added: "Shelly adds a wealth of knowledge. She gives us a different option on the left-hand side, in an attacking sense as well."
The Spring Series sees teams play each other once in a one-off, six-week transitional competition before the WSL's switch to a winter calendar.
For top-flight teams, the Spring Series runs over six weeks, from 23 April until Saturday, 3 June.
She said she was not the only journalist who had been offered gifts, saying this was "one of the untold stories of the 2016 campaign".
The claims are in her memoir, to be released on Tuesday.
Ms Kelly and Mr Trump clashed after a debate she moderated in August last year.
Her first question to him asked about him calling women "fat pigs, slobs and disgusting animals".
After that debate, Mr Trump tweeted that she had "bombed" and he later said: "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever..."
This year, she said publicly that she did not want "any sort of war" with him, and the pair had a one-on-one interview, which aired in May.
In her memoir, Ms Kelly alleges that Mr Trump offered to fly her and her husband to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, or let her and her friends stay at his New York City hotel for free for the weekend. She said she did not accept his offers.
She said Mr Trump had attempted to influence journalists by praising them.
"This is smart," she writes, "because the media is full of people whose egos need stroking."
Publication of Ms Kelly's memoir was originally planned for November 2015, but it was delayed. It is called Settle for More.
CWM, which is based in London, initially sponsored the Carl Frampton fight in Belfast in September 2014.
Subsequently Mr McGuigan's promotions firm was rebranded as CWM Cyclone.
The sponsorship is continuing and there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing connected with the deal between CWM and Cyclone.
City of London Police raided CWM's offices earlier this month, arresting 10 men and three women.
The police said they are investigating suspected fraud by false representation, conspiracy to defraud and money laundering.
Computers and other documentary evidence has been taken away.
The 13 suspects were questioned and then released on bail until September.
Det Supt Maria Woodall, who is overseeing the investigation for the City of London Police, said: "The primary objective of the arrest phase of this investigation was to stop what we believe was ongoing criminality and prevent people putting their money into CWM's managed funds offering 5% interest per month.
"Now we need anyone who thinks they have invested in this specific enterprise to get in contact and help us clarify exactly how this company has been using the funds given to them in good faith by citizens living in both the UK and abroad."
In a statement a CWM spokesman said: "There is no sustainable basis for these allegations."
The statement added: "CWM believe that they have been the victim of an orchestrated campaign initiated by individuals motivated by personal animosity.
"Despite requests made of the police, they have thus far failed to provide the name of a single investor who has raised concerns with them."
CWM has a number of other sports sponsorships including the Wigan Warriors rugby league team.
On Thursday Chelsea Football Club removed CWM from its sponsors page.
In an interview on CWM's Youtube channel in January Mr McGuigan said the company had "come on board at a crucial time."
The girl group - who topped the chart with their X Factor winner's single Cannonball in 2011 and Wings in 2012 - said they were "super-duper excited".
Years and Years, who outsold the rest of the top five albums combined, called it "the best day of our lives".
Last week the chart moved from Sunday to Friday to mark Global Release Day.
All new singles and albums now come out on a Friday around the world, while BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James reveals the official chart during his show from 18:00 BST.
Black Magic, the first single from Little Mix's forthcoming third album Get Weird, topped this week's chart with sales of 113,000, including 1.19 million streams.
"We're super-duper excited to be number one with Black Magic - we never thought we'd see the day again," the band told the Official Charts Company.
"Thank you so much to the fans... you did this."
Years and Years - who topped the BBC's Sound of 2015 list in January added: "We're so, so, so excited! Having a number one album is a dream come true.
"Thank you everybody and everything, this is the best day of our lives. Our fans are the best and we are very, very happy today."
Their single Shine is at number two in the singles chart for a second week, while Lost Frequencies' Are You With Me is at three and DJ Sam Feldt is at number four with his rework of Robin S's 90s club classic Show Me Love.
Last week's number one, David Zowie's House Every Weekend, is at five.
In the album chart, Ed Sheeran's x dropped from number one to two, following last weekend's huge shows at Wembley Stadium.
James Bay's Chaos and the Calm was at three, with Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour at four and Taylor Swift's 1989 at number five.
They were found guilty of causing the baby's death unintentionally.
The baby, Lucas, weighed just 4.3kg (9.5lb) when he died aged seven months, dehydrated and malnourished.
The parents, from Beveren near Antwerp, ran a health food shop and fed him for four months with milk made from oats, buckwheat, rice and quinoa.
The mother did not produce breast milk and the baby had refused infant formula.
Lucas died on the way to hospital in Hasselt in June 2014, after a homeopathic doctor had advised the couple to call an ambulance.
Vegetable milk lacks the nutrients essential for infants in their first year. The parents said they had resorted to it because they believed Lucas was lactose- or gluten-intolerant.
The parents' lawyer told the court that the mother had been getting up several times a night to feed Lucas - evidence that she had tried to look after him.
Matthew Jones, 34, was found dead at his flat in Rhyl in April.
He had been treated for alcoholism and depression at the Ablett Unit at Glan Clwyd Hospital. The cause of his death has not yet been established.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) said it would be carrying out a review of Mr Jones' care.
Mandy Williams said there had been problems with her son's treatment on the unit and that she was speaking out to help other families.
She claimed he had to sleep on a sofa when no beds were available and conditions were sometimes dirty.
"My son was unwell and he was in hospital to have help but he was sleeping on the sofa," she said.
"He told me someone had wet themselves on it and they'd just dried it with a cloth, they hadn't scrubbed it."
Mrs Williams said Matthew was at one stage discharged into accommodation above a pub in Rhyl.
"He never stopped drinking that week," she said. "Why did they put him above a pub, someone with a problem with alcohol?" she told BBC Wales Today.
"On the Friday night, I had a phone call saying he'd tried to take his own life. I met him in the hospital and he was drunk and had taken an overdose."
Mr Jones was readmitted to the Ablett Unit, to be released a few days later.
His mother said the day before his final release, he had been under observations every 15 minutes because of concerns about self-harm.
"I knew he wasn't ready to come out. Everyone who knew Matthew knew he wasn't ready," Mrs Williams added.
"He was crying out for help and they let him down."
Mr Jones died around three weeks after being released from hospital.
The Ablett Unit was home to the Tawel Fan ward which closed in 2013. A report found some patients were treated "like animals".
On Tuesday, it was revealed that the quality of care on the scandal-hit ward for dementia patients may have contributed to at least seven deaths.
A spokesman for the health board, which was placed in special measures in 2015, said it would be carrying out a review of the care provided to Mr Jones "as is routine following the sudden death of any of our service users".
"We fully consult with service users on the care they receive in times of crisis, and always look to act in their best interest to provide a safe, appropriate location in which to receive care and support."
He added that Mrs Williams had been invited to contribute to the review and asked to contact the health board so a meeting with senior staff could be arranged.
A spokesman for Denbighshire council said Mr Jones had been put in accommodation above a pub because it was the "only available room in the county at the time" and that a risk assessment had been carried
The cash offer of 145p per share valued Thorntons at around £112m, and represented a premium of around 43% on the closing price on Friday.
Thorntons saw sales and profits fall in the half year to 10 January, and issued a profit warning in December.
Ferrero is known for Nutella spread, Ferrero Rocher chocolates, Kinder Eggs and Tic Tac sweets.
Thorntons has urged shareholders to back the offer. Chairman Paul Wilkinson said: "Ferrero is a successful global confectionery business with a strong family heritage and as such represents a good cultural fit for Thorntons.
"The board of Thorntons therefore has given its unanimous recommendation for the offer from Ferrero."
Ferrero chief executive Giovanni Ferrero said: "We delivered our best ever results in the UK in 2014, giving us confidence that now is the right time to broaden our roots in this important market."
In March, Thorntons said its half-year profits were "disappointing" after pre-tax profit fell 8.8% to £6.5m, with sales down 8.2% to £128.2m in the 28 weeks to 10 January.
It said it was hit by a drop in orders by two major supermarkets and supply problems at its new centralised Derbyshire warehouse.
The firm issued a profit warning in December due to poor sales of its products in some supermarkets.
Thorntons was established by Joseph William Thornton in Sheffield in 1911, and has 242 of its own shops and cafes in the UK and Ireland, It also has 158 franchise outlets.
It employs around 3,500 staff, and about 3% of its revenues are generated overseas.
Family chocolate firm Ferrero posted sales of €8.4bn in the year to the end of last August, and employs around 27,000 staff.
Billionaire Michele Ferrero, whose chocolate empire made him Italy's richest man, died aged 89 in February.
His ministerial return, as secretary of state for the environment, food and rural affairs, has prompted a wave of claims that Mr Gove tried to remove the teaching of climate change when he was in charge of the education department.
"This is a man who tried to stop young people in our schools learning about climate change, who tried to take it out of the geography curriculum," said Caroline Lucas, co-leader of the Green Party.
On social media, these claims about climate change have been linked with pictures of Mr Gove's visit to the newly elected President Trump, as though their awkward thumbs up were evidence of some kind of global compact.
But is there any substance to the claims?
Anyone taking geography GCSEs or A-levels this summer will wonder what the row is about, because pupils will have been grilled - probably the wrong word - about climate change and global warming.
And there are plenty of references to climate change in the national curriculum for younger years.
But the row about "climate change denial" goes back to a controversial rewriting of the geography curriculum when Mr Gove was education secretary.
In a draft version, climate change was conspicuous by its absence, prompting a wave of petitions and lobbying demands for its re-inclusion.
And when the final version was produced, climate change had been reinstated.
But instead of ending the argument, there was still a lingering fog of claims about political attempts to stifle the subject.
And the Department for Education had to publish a statement denying that climate change had been removed.
But what really happened?
People who were close to Mr Gove during this time say that the climate change allegations have taken on a life of their own, a Westminster version of an urban myth, without any foundation.
They say it's a complete misreading of what happened - and that rather than downplaying the teaching of climate change, it was to be bolstered by moving it to science.
And in the end, after a consultation, Mr Gove took the decision to keep teaching it as part of geography.
Another source said that climate change ended up being taught in geography and in science, so it hadn't been cut - so it was a meaningless row.
But there are also different versions of events.
Another very senior figure, close to the curriculum reforms, said that shifting climate change into science might have been the "formal" argument.
But they suggest that there was also an "instinctive" distrust of the topic, with lessons about climate change seen as having an underlying, politically driven agenda.
This became a political "tussle", it's claimed.
Another person involved in the rewriting of the geography curriculum remembers ministerial interventions and political horse-trading.
They describe attempts not to "stress the human causes" of climate change as an attempt to placate the "right wing of the Conservative party".
This was the era of the coalition government - and it is claimed that the row was resolved behind the scenes after the intervention of the Department for Energy and Climate Change.
It was also suggested that "Nick Clegg was deployed" - as the deputy prime minister was sometimes involved with such departmental disagreements.
Although Mr Gove might have become the lightning rod in this row, it's worth noting that much of the controversial coverage about cutting climate change from geography was not about Mr Gove at all.
Tim Oates, who chaired the panel reviewing the national curriculum, argued it should be about core scientific knowledge, rather than issues, such as climate change, that might stem from that.
Such topics should be left to teachers to decide to teach rather than be prescribed, he said.
This had prompted reports that climate change "propaganda" was going to be dropped.
In a statement on Monday, Mr Oates said there had been "a lot of knee-jerk reaction and misunderstanding in media reports at the time".
"The debate the national curriculum panel had was not over whether children should understand climate science - I believe that they should.
"The debate was about what fundamental concepts they needed to learn at an early age in order to understand climate science."
"I am not a 'climate change denier' and I never have been," said Mr Oates.
There are other arguments underlying all this. Should ministers, political figures moving in and out of departments, really get involved in the detail of what pupils are taught? Or should this be the domain of subject specialists and education professionals?
And the school climate has changed too. Academies do not have to follow the national curriculum - so for most secondary schools, such requirements no longer even apply.
A spokesman for Mr Gove's new department, Defra, said: "The secretary of state wanted to enhance climate change in the national curriculum when he was education secretary. It was never his intention to remove it."
The show was created by Baz Luhrmann, who also directed a film version in 1992.
Drew McOnie will direct and choreograph the production, which opens at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in November.
Strictly Ballroom tells the story of a championship ballroom dancer who risks his career by performing unusual routines in his own maverick style.
The stage version has already toured extensively around Luhrmann's home country Australia, with residencies in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
It earned a mixed bag of reviews when it opened in 2014, with some critics claiming it "sparkles but falls short".
Songs included in the musical's score include Love is in the Air, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps and Time After Time.
But the updated production also features new songs by Sia, David Foster and Australian singer-songwriter Eddie Perfect.
Baz Luhrmann said: "One of the great joys for us was to take a story that began as a play when I was at drama school and return to our homeland in Australia to birth the musical stage version with all our original collaborators. Now that it's been born, Strictly Ballroom must go on."
Drew McOnie, who has previously choreographed Hairspray and In The Heights, described the opportunity to direct and choreograph the show as a "dream come true".
"The film Strictly Ballroom has had such a huge impact on me. It inspired me as an 8-year-old dancer to follow my choreographic instinct," she said.
Luhrmann devised the play with a group of students in 1984, but Strictly Ballroom found its biggest success in 1992, when a film version was widely praised at the Cannes Film Festival.
The movie went on to win three Baftas and became a huge box office hit.
George Cameron, who had convictions for causing death by reckless driving, attempted murder and rape, died on Sunday.
Darrell Smith, who was convicted of shoplifting in May, died the day before.
The SPS said next of kin had been informed and fatal accident inquiries "may be held in due course."
Cameron had appeared in court on Friday on petition, where he was fully committed and remanded in custody. He was alleged to have breached a sexual offences prevention order.
A spokesman for the Scottish Prison Service said: "George McCallum Cameron, 37, a prisoner at HMP Perth has died. He was untried.
"Darrell Kerr Smith, 39, a prisoner at HMP Perth has died. He was convicted at Dundee Sherriff Court on 6 May 2016."
Police Scotland have been advised in both cases and reports sent to the procurator fiscal.
Sandwell Council has started removing aluminium panelling from blocks in Oldbury and West Bromwich.
Experts say the panels failed buildings regulations' combustion tests, but the council insisted residents were safe.
Fire safety in tower blocks is being tested across the country in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster in London, in which 79 people died.
The cladding on the flats is not made from the same material as the panelling and will not need to be removed.
Why do England's high-rises keep failing safety tests?
The blocks affected are Astbury Court and Lawrence Court in Oldbury and Neale House and Macauley House in West Bromwich.
Works to remove the panelling will be completed by the end of next week will have "no impact on residents", Sandwell Council leader Steve Ealing has said.
The authority are required to test all aluminium or ACM panels or cladding in the borough but said it was not testing all tower blocks.
Jan Britton, chief executive of Sandwell Council, said: "While the panels comply with current building regulations, in light of the test results and recent events we are taking this action because the safety of our residents always comes first."
Councillor Kerrie Carmichael, Sandwell's cabinet member for housing, reassured residents they are "safe to remain in their buildings while we carry out work to remove the panels in question".
She added: "The main cladding on these four blocks is not the same as that used at Grenfell Tower nor is it made of aluminium composite like the panelling we're having to remove."
Arthur Rennie, 20, from Port Glasgow, targeted Cowden's News and Fast Food Shop in Greenock, on 16 March 2015.
He waved the sword and pushed 23-year-old Julie Crighton and demanded cash. She refused, pushed him back and chased him while clutching the plastic fork.
Rennie was caught when a bag containing the sword and clothing, which had his DNA on them, was found near the shop.
Jailing Rennie at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lady Rae told him: "I appreciate you don't accept the jury's verdict, but the evidence showed that you went into the shop - along with another - with your face covered and with a large sword.
"That young woman was extremely brave to tackle you and you then ran away."
The court heard that Rennie went into the shop, pushed Ms Crighton and repeatedly asked for money while waving the sword about.
When she pushed him back, Rennie then fled with Ms Crighton giving chase while clutching a plastic fork.
Lady Rae added: "This was a large sword and the incident must have been very frightening. She is an extremely brave young woman that tackled Mr Rennie despite the fact he had that sword."
In evidence Ms Crighton said:: "He was brandishing what I thought was a machete and made his way to the side of the counter.
"He came towards me and pushed me and I pushed him back. I think he realised I wasn't going to give him anything. He went out and I went out the shop after him.
"I wasn't thinking of catching him. Just seeing where he was going."
In court Ms Crighton was shown a sword and identified it as the weapon she saw in the shop.
Rennie, was convicted, while acting with another, of attempting to rob the shop.

He thinks greater communication will improve relationships and the overall standard of officiating.
"It will be to the detriment of the quality of the game if the referees are not up to the mark.
"Young referees need established first-grade players to give them feedback," he told the BBC Super League Show.
"It's game sense they [officials] need to be provided with, the rules are easy, they're black and white, but learning game sense is important in situations and I feel that's where we're missing the point.
"After coming back from Australia and the National Rugby League to here, I've found there is a real animosity from coaches toward the lack of and quality of feedback. I think that's a bridge we need to bring closer together."
Clubs receive a visit from Rugby Football League representatives each season regarding rule changes, and are aware the referees are available to come into clubs at anytime to discuss themes and referee practice sessions if requested
Australia's NRL has appointed a prominent former coach in Daniel Anderson to undertake the guidance of its referees after Bill Harrigan and Stuart Raper stood down following some high-profile errors from officials in 2012.
Among the most critical was an incident where Manly were awarded a try in the play-off preliminary final against North Queensland last season despite video analysis at the time that failed to spot a knock-on in the build-up.
Anderson, who coached at St Helens between 2005 and 2008 and the Exiles against England in 2012, met with the member clubs prior to the new campaign to address several issues.
The Rugby Football League has recently lost its figurehead in that role as Stuart Cummings, who was the match officials director and a conduit between coaches and officials, has departed, prompting a reshuffle of staff.
Technical assistant Jon Sharp and match officials coach Ian Smith have absorbed the responsibilities of that post, including discussions with coaches and liaison with clubs, an area former Saints and Wigan coach Millward is keen to develop in the future.
"We like to have reports so we can get some good feedback about our team and areas we need to improve," the 52-year-old Australian continued.
"We also want to give some feedback from our players to referees on areas that our players have thought about.
"For example, [Castleford second-row] Lee Gilmour, who is 34 years of age and has played international football, recently said the referee [in one game] was really quiet and it was hard to hear his calls in the tackle, and from that we conceded penalties."
Cas have been penalised by the RFL on several occasions this season, notably . Team-mates Weller Hauraki and Justin Carney have also faced disciplinary measures.
The Picture House, on the the banks of Campbeltown Loch, celebrated its centenary in May 2013.
Campbeltown Community Business, which owns and runs the A-listed art deco cinema, said the amount of improvement work needed meant it was unsustainable.
Efforts will continue to raise cash for the restoration of the building, which the company hopes to reopen in 2016.
In a statement, Campbeltown Community Business said: "Despite having had its best season for ticket sales in many years, and receiving extremely positive comments from the community following the recent changes in the operation, the Picture House is in need of substantial improvement before it can become a sustainable modern cinema.
"The volunteer board will focus their time and endeavours to secure a current shortfall in the £3m funding required to redevelop the facilities and create a modernised and refurbished cinema to better serve the local community in a sustainable manner."
The Picture House - known locally as the Wee Pictures - was one of the first purpose-built cinemas in Scotland when it opened in 1913.
It has been open continuously since then, except for a hiatus in the late 1980s.
Earlier this year, the cinema started showing live events such as operas and plays and improved the range of films available each week.
Jane Mayo, who chairs Campbeltown Community Business, said: "Having fought long and hard to secure the future of the Picture House, with regret we have been left with no option other than to cease trading in our current form for the short-term future.
"There have been recent successes, for example streaming live events from Andre Rieu and Monty Python and live theatre from Mull Theatre, but the building requires a significant refurbishment to meet the needs of all members of the community."
Mrs Mayo added: "Campbeltown Community Business will continue to fundraise to reach our development target of £3m in funding, which will see The Picture House re-open in 2016 with a brand new second screen, a new foyer and cafe bar.
"We have developed a business plan which clearly demonstrates that a redeveloped Picture House will be able to perform much better financially and be a sustainable community enterprise.
"The two screen operation will allow a much expanded range of films, as well as event cinema performances and even heritage related activities."
Rob Arthur, the interim manager of Campbeltown Picture House, is also managing director of the Thurso Cinema.
He said: "We are fully committed to supporting Campbeltown Community Business over the next two years as they aim to secure funding to re-develop and re-open The Picture House.
"The business needs to focus on providing a cinema for the people of Campbeltown and Kintyre which maintains the heritage of the current building and engages with all ages and all parts of the community using the latest digital technology.
"After re-development the cinema will be a significant local employer and we look forward to welcoming customers back to the Picture House on completion of re-development works."
East Worthing and Shoreham MP Tim Loughton believes the type of aircraft allowed to carry out aerobatics needs to be looked at.
He led a debate on the crash and its implications for future air displays at Westminster Hall on Tuesday.
Eleven people died when a vintage jet crashed in to the A27 in West Sussex.
The Conservative MP said although a lot of work went into making air shows as safe as possible, the implications of the crash in Shoreham must be discussed.
"I think there will have to be some changes. We need to know exactly why the pilot was flying where he was, at that height, so close to the road.
"Do we just need to change the [flight] pattern, do we need not to have certain types of very powerful and also quite old vintage aircraft?
"Is it not suitable for those type of aircraft? I don't know."
He added: "People are keen not to rush to judgement. The Shoreham Airshow is a very popular part of the Shoreham calendar, it's been going very safely for the past 26 years and I hope we can retain it in some form."
Two days after the crash on 22 August, the Civil Aviation Authority banned vintage jets from performing high-energy aerobatics over land at air shows, limiting them to flypasts only.
It also grounded all Hawker Hunter jets until further notice.
An initial Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report found the Hawker Hunter jet showed "no abnormal indications" during its flight.
It also said pilot Andy Hill was thrown clear of the aircraft during the later part of the crash but it was not clear whether he initiated his ejection.
The Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA), which organises Shoreham Airshow, said it continued to "provide the authorities with our full cooperation and support in their endeavours to find all the answers" to the "tragedy at Shoreham". | UK detectives have questioned the reception manager at the apartment complex where Madeleine McCann disappeared, the BBC has discovered.

The lorry was travelling along Osmaston Road when it collided with Suzey Fletcher's car, pushing it into the front of her house.
The terrace property was severely damaged and Ms Fletcher said she has "lost everything".
Since then, the family has been living in temporary accommodation.
The family has been living in temporary accommodation since the crash while the council tries to find a long term solution.
Ms Fletcher said after five weeks, she and her family were desperate to find somewhere to call home and to get some normality back into their lives.
She said their car, house and possessions had all been lost in the the crash.
Describing the crash, she said: "There was an absolutely horrendous bang, I went into the hallway to see what the noise was and there was just smoke, fuel and dust, it was horrendous."
She said she then got out the back of the property by climbing over the wall.

The displays of light aimed to show support and raise funds for people in the city, which has been ravaged by civil war.
Communities along the coast lit torches at 17:00 on Sunday.
Their message will be spread around the world by social media, using the hashtag #alightforaleppo.
Edinburgh University chaplaincy has organised the scheme, which aims to raise funds for the charities Oxfam and Medicins Sans Frontieres, who are working in the region.
Members of the public were invited to attend an event, to organise an event of their own, or to light a candle in their home to show support.
Rev Dr Harriet Harris, Edinburgh University chaplain, said: "Every day, the people of Aleppo have less food and fewer medical supplies, and aid is not getting through.
"We want them to know that they are not forgotten - the people of the world are watching and are upholding their humanity.
"We are helpless to deliver food, medicine or peace, but we will light beacons to send a message of solidarity and hope to stem despair and renew resolve."
The charge is in connection with an alleged match-fixing conspiracy in the 2013 Bangladesh Premier League.
"I have not been involved in any corrupt activity and have not been charged with any," said Stevens.
"I am co-operating with the ICC in their investigation and prosecution of the corruption charges."
The 37-year-old added: "I am totally against any corruption in cricket and would never do anything other than perform to the best of my ability in any game."
The ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit charged nine individuals on Tuesday in relation to "an alleged conspiracy within the Dhaka Gladiators franchise to engage in match-fixing and spot-fixing activity".
Stevens, who played 12 matches for the Dhaka Gladiators in the BPL earlier this year as the side won the tournament, has not been suspended by the ICC and remains eligible to play in all forms of cricket.
"I remain willing and able to play for Kent in all fixtures if selected," Stevens added.
"As the charge against me is now the subject of disciplinary proceedings I can make no further comment with regard to them at this stage."
Stevens must now indicate whether he wishes to plead guilty to the charge or to defend himself in a full hearing, which would take place before an anti-corruption tribunal, convened in accordance with the Bangladesh Cricket Board's anti-corruption code.
Under the BCB's code, an individual who pleads guilty or is later found guilty by tribunal of failing to report a corrupt approach faces sanction, which could include a global suspension of between one to five years.
Voges, 37, has again been signed as an overseas player, having featured for Middlesex in three of the past four seasons, including their 2016 County Championship title-winning campaign.
His contribution included an unbeaten 160 against Hampshire in May.
Voges will be available for 13 Championship matches and all eight Royal London One-Day Cup group games.
He was named captain last season but missed the final four matches because of a hamstring problem.
James Franklin, who took over as skipper, signed a new contract on Wednesday.
"Inviting Adam back was a simple decision," said Middlesex managing director Angus Fraser.
"On each of the occasions he has been with Middlesex, he has been outstanding in every way and he is just the sort of character I want playing for our club.
"In the past two seasons, selection for Australia has reduced the amount of time he has spent with us but this season we expect to see far more of him."
The 11 charges relate to the period when ex-Supt Andrew Carr, 47, worked for the 7th Swindon Scouts and Orchid Vale PTA.
Funds were not paid into bank accounts, cheques were written out in another name and documents were falsified.
Carr, from Swindon, will be sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court on 21 July.
He was dismissed from Wiltshire Police in May following a hearing held in private "to ensure it did not prejudice his criminal trial".
Carr was charged with four counts of fraud relating to the scouts and PTA where the proceeds of various fundraising events were not paid into bank accounts as required.
Two counts of theft relate to falsifying documents for accounting purposes and five counts of forgery relate to writing out cheques in another person's name.
Speaking after the case, Ch Con Mike Veale expressed his "dismay and disappointment" that Carr's behaviour fell below what was expected of a police officer.
"This is a stark reminder of the important role that police officers and staff have in our society in relation to the requirement to demonstrate the highest standards of behaviour," he said.
"I expect them to act with the utmost integrity at all times including conduct whilst on and off duty."
Miguel Arias Canete said the EU had already calculated that the UK was not on track to meet legally binding goals.
Asked by BBC News if the wind decision would make the task harder he replied: "Of course".
His officials have expressed bemusement at the decision to end subsidies for onshore wind energy a year early.
They said onshore wind was by far the cheapest way to hit the target of 15% of all energy from renewables from 2020.
The SNP estimate the change will cost bill payers up to three billion pounds.
After a media briefing on climate policy at the European Commission, one official told the BBC the decision was "mind-boggling in an economy that's supposedly price sensitive."
The official said the EU would not interfere in the UK's energy choices, but expressed doubt whether it would achieve renewables targets without more onshore wind, and whether future energy subsidy auctions in the UK would breach EU state aid rules if nuclear was included and onshore wind barred.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change said the UK was making good progress towards the EU 2020 target on renewables.

onshore turbines in the UK
18,000 gigawatt hours of electrcity generated by onshore turbines in 2014
5.5 million homes could run for a year on that power
5.6% of the UK total electricity needs
A spokesman said the UK had come a long way already; in 2005 1.4% of energy was from renewable sources, for 2013 the renewable share was 5.1% of energy.
On the question of breaching state aid rules on future subsidy auctions a DECC. spokesman told the BBC: "We have the tools available to implement the government's manifesto commitments on onshore wind and will set out how we will do so when announcing plans in relation to further CfD (subsidy) allocations."
The government promised before the election to end new subsidies for onshore wind following pressure from UKIP to halt the spread of wind farms across rural Britain.
Last week, Energy Secretary Amber Rudd announced that she would cut short the subsidy period for the relatively mature technology of onshore wind and shift cash into forms of energy that needed support more.
There is no news yet as to which technologies will benefit, or how the same amount of energy will be obtained without spending extra money on a much more expensive option like offshore wind.
The government's decision was welcomed by UKIP, the Taxpayers' Alliance and community pressure groups which said wind farms were ruining the countryside.
It was condemned by most energy academics, environmentalists and by the CBI which said it would undermine investor confidence in the UK.

General Sir Richard Shirreff, the outgoing Nato deputy supreme commander, told the Sunday Times cuts to the British military had "hollowed out" the Royal Navy.
But Mr Hammond told the BBC: "We are a capable and credible ally."
Shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker said "serious questions" remain about the planned cuts.
Sir Richard said the Royal Navy had been cut "to the bone" and left unable to take part in Nato maritime operations.
Speaking on The Andrew Marr Show, Mr Hammond said the criticism was unfounded, however.
"Nobody should be in any doubt of our resolve to live up to our commitments under the Nato treaty," he added.
The Army is undergoing a 20% reduction in regular troop numbers, from 102,000 in 2010 to 82,000 in 2020. This is to be accompanied by a rise in the number of reservists, from 24,000 to 30,000.
Over the same period, the Royal Navy and the RAF are each preparing to lose 5,000 regulars and gain 500 reservists.
Sir Richard's comments follow recent warnings about the impact of the cuts from former US Defence Secretary Robert Gates and former head of the Army Lord Dannatt.
Sir Richard warned that cutting the number of full-time troops and recruiting more reservists was "one hell of a risk".
"The point at which a risk becomes a gamble is a subjective view," he said. "I think the jury is out still."
In light of the situation in Crimea, it was necessary for Britain to "prioritise defence", he said, telling the newspaper: "A hollowed-out navy means you can't project power."
Sir Richard, who stepped down from his post last week, added it was "very noticeable" that the Royal Navy was "never participating in Nato maritime operations".
But Mr Hammond said of the criticism: "Of course I'm listening and much of what I'm hearing is nonsense.
"We still have the fourth-largest defence budget in the world.
"I was in the Pentagon just this week past. I heard my US counterpart talk about Britain as a credible, capable and reliable ally and that's what we intend to remain."
Mr Hammond stressed that savings had to be made.
"Of course we've had to take some very tough decisions," he said. "But we are working with the military chiefs to make sure that we prioritise our very large defence budget, invest it in the areas that are going to matter in the future.
"I recognise that sometimes that has meant we've had to take decisions that have upset some people about legacy capabilities but we're looking to the future, not the past."
Mr Hammond said the Navy did take part in Nato exercises and insisted it was also "busy around the world" on other operations.
These included taking part in counter-piracy missions, tackling drug traffickers and also helping in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
"We'd like to have more assets but we are very effective at using the assets we've got to deliver the effect we need to do," he added.
Mr Coaker said: "While I agree with the rationale behind the Army 2020 proposals, serious questions remain about their deliverability.
"General Shirreff's comments signal yet another senior military voice adding to the chorus of concern over the government's defence reforms.
"The defence secretary has been too quick to dismiss these concerns and those of our allies. He has pursued his policy with little regard for the implications of its practical application."
In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said: "With a restructured, more flexible and agile army and with £160 billion planned on new equipment over the next decade, we will ensure our Armed Forces retain their formidable range of cutting-edge capabilities and ability to project power across the globe."
Yet decades on, what that freedom has delivered measures up poorly for many.
For India's business elites eager to compete with China, for the middle classes fed up with corruption, for radical intellectuals, for desperate citizens who have taken up arms against the state - democracy in India is a story of unravelling illusions.
Democratic politics itself has come to be seen as impeding the decisive action needed to expand economic possibilities.
In a society of swiftly inflating expectations, where old deference crumbles before youthful impatience, frustration with democracy is perhaps not surprising.
The citizenry's ire expresses perhaps instinctively something that India's government, caught in inertial routines, is in danger of missing. Societies are at their most vulnerable when things are improving - not when they are stagnant.
Yet the gathering pace of history in India has made political judgement more, not less, important.
An India on the move cannot avoid choices.
The policy choices India will need to make over the coming decade - about education, about environmental resources, about social and fiscal responsibility, about foreign relations - will propel it down tracks that will become difficult to renounce or even revise.
These choices will determine how India handles the daunting tasks it faces.
These include managing the largest-ever rural-to-urban transition under democratic conditions, and working to develop the human capital and sustain the ecological and energy resources needed for participatory economic growth.
They will also determine how ably India can contend with powerful competitor states, contain a volatile neighbourhood, and navigate a fluid international arena where capital is fly, and where new, unforeseen threats and risks are facts of life.
It's an agenda that would test any society at the best of times.
But in India's case, these tasks will have to be achieved under severe time and resource constraints.
India will have only a sliver of time, a matter of years, in which to seize its chances.
Whether it is able to do so will depend less on India's entrepreneurial brilliance or technological prowess or the cheapness of its labour, and above all on politics.
Yet, at this historical moment when emergent possibilities and new problems are crowding in, the transformative momentum of India's politics seems to have dissipated.
It's a troubling irony: political imagination, judgement and action - the capacities that first brought India into existence - seem to have deserted it.
Democracy, the distinctive source of modern India's legitimacy has, to many, become an agent of the country's ills - and drives some to put their hope in technocratic fixes.
Today, in many parts of the country, the identity wars that engulfed India during the 1990s - when religion and caste advanced as the basis of claims to special privileges - seem to have played themselves out.
The conventional view is that India's economic surge has stilled those fights. And although there is some truth in that explanation, it's too partial. It doesn't address, for instance, why one of India's most-developed and fast-growing states, the calendar girl of big business - Gujarat - is also the purveyor of India's most chauvinistic and poisonous politics.
In fact, what has - at least for an interval - calmed such conflicts has been the workings, however rickety, of democratic politics.
It's the capacity of India's representative democracy to articulate - and even to incite - India's diversity, to give voice to differing interests and ideas of self, rather than merely to aggregate common identities, that has saved India from the civil conflict and auto-destruction typical of so many other states.
Consider for a start the ragged history of India's regional neighbourhood: though populated by smaller and more homogenous states, their desire to impose a common identity has broken them down.
What has protected India from such a fate is not any innate Indian virtue or cultural uniqueness.
Rather, it is the outcome of a political invention, the intricate architecture of constitutional democracy established by India's founders. Democracy's singular, rather astonishing achievement has been to keep India united as a political space.
And now that space has become a vast market whose strength lies in its internal diversity and dynamism.
It is that immense market, of considerable attraction to international capital, which is now India's greatest comparative advantage - and one that makes it a potential engine of the global economy.
In the years ahead, whether the old identity battles of the 1990s stay becalmed will to a large extent depend on the capacity of India's political system to sustain and spread the country's new growth.
Rising disparities - in income, wealth and opportunity - are a global fact, but they can be particularly acute in growing economies.
For 21st century India, as economic growth spreads unevenly over the landscape, the big questions will turn on the disequalising effects of economic transformation.
This is not a question that any society - democratic or despotic - has been able to solve, let alone any rapidly growing society.
The search for alternatives to market capitalism inspired the great revolutionary and reformist movements of modern history.
Those movements haven't fared too well: but the living conditions that gave rise to them remain as intense and painful as ever, not least in the world's two major growth economies, China and India.
Part of what it must mean, therefore, for states like India and China to take their place as major world powers, rests on their ability to invent better alternative models of market capitalism.
For India, developing such options is a priority in coming years.
It's imperative for India's economic future that the global disaffection with market capitalism doesn't take wider hold in the country. Most people in India remain hopeful that their turn will come. Yet, as events of recent weeks have reminded us, tolerance for disparities, for inequality, can shift very suddenly.
In India's case, just as six decades and more of democracy have broken down age-old structures of deference and released a new defiant energy, so too years of rapid but uneven growth may quite abruptly dismantle the intricate self-deceptions that have so far kept India's grotesque disparities protected from mass protest.
As the Indian political classes exercise their populist instincts, corporate India, heady with new opulence, lately comports itself like a well-plumed sitting duck.
Without renewed political imagination and judgement, the disaffection and alienation of those who are being left out or actively dispossessed by rapid growth could change the course of India's history.

Mr Davutoglu said the incident was unfortunate but that Turkey had a right and duty to protect its airspace.
The body of a pilot killed in the incident is being flown home.
Also on Monday, a Russian military spokesman said Russia has armed its Su-34 fighter jets over Syria with air-to-air missiles for the first time.
While he did not mention which particular threat the missiles were meant to counter, it comes six days after the Russian plane was shot down by Turkey.
Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, appearing with Mr Davutoglu in Brussels, said the alliance fully supported the right of member nation Turkey to defend its airspace.
He said there was concern about increased Russian presence in the region, but that the focus was on calming the situation.
Turkish forces shot down the Su-24 plane on 24 November, saying it had violated Turkish airspace, which Russia denies.
Mr Davutoglu urged Russia to reconsider the economic sanctions that Moscow has announced.
The row between the two countries shows no sign of abating, with Russia saying President Vladimir Putin would not meet his Turkish counterpart at the current climate summit in Paris.
Russia said on Monday it would ban mainly imports of agricultural products, vegetables and fruits from Turkey, although it may delay the restrictions for several weeks to "ease inflationary pressure".
Turkish industrial goods would not be banned for now but future expansion of the sanctions was not ruled out, officials said.
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.
Meanwhile, the coffin of Lt Col Oleg Peshkov left Ankara's Esenboga International Airport on Monday after a military ceremony.
The Turkish military issued a press release saying a Turkish garrison commander and a Russian delegation observed a military and religious ceremony before the body of Lt Col Peshkov left on a plane for Russia.
Lt Col Peshkov's body had been flown to the capital from southern Turkey on Sunday.
Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu earlier said that the pilot's body had been treated in accordance with Orthodox Christian tradition.
It was reportedly handed over to Turkish authorities by rebels from Syria's ethnic Turkmen community in the Hatay region in the early hours of Sunday.
The exact circumstances of his death remain unclear but Turkmen rebels said they opened fire on Lt Col Peshkov and his co-pilot as they tried to parachute into Syrian government-held territory last Tuesday.
The other pilot, Capt Konstantin Murakhtin, survived and was rescued from rebel-held territory in Syria in a special forces operation that left another Russian dead.
Russia says it has been carrying out air strikes on Islamic State (IS) militants inside Syria, although Nato members have said it is also hitting rebel groups who are fighting both IS and Russia's ally, President Bashar al-Assad.
The Kasumigaseki Country Club does not allow women to become full members or play on Sundays.
"I respect it's a private club but our position is clear. We will only go to a club that has non-discrimination," said IOC vice-president John Coates.
"At some point there has to be a cut-off."
However, Coates added that he did not expect to have to find another host for the event.
"It's possible to go elsewhere but I think this is going to work out," he added.
"My understanding is as recently as this week there have been more discussions with the club, that it's heading in the right direction for them to have a non-discriminatory membership.
"It would appear that we should be able to have this resolved by the end of June."
In February, club chairman Kiichi Kimura described the controversy as "annoying" after initial internal discussions had not resulted in any decision on Kasumigaseki's membership policy.
"We are baffled," he said.
"We agreed to host at their request, but we never made a bid."
World number one and Rio 2016 silver medallist Lydia Ko has said that she wants to see the bar to women at the club lifted, while the Japan Golf Council - a group aimed at modernising the game - has sent the IOC a letter recommending an alternative course.
Rio 2016 was the first time golf event had been part of the Olympic programme since 1904. South Korea's Inbee Park won the women's title, with Great Britain's Justin Rose securing the men's.
Bovington in Dorset became the home of the Heavy Section Machine Gun Corps in 1916, shortly after tanks first appeared at the Battle of the Somme.
An event on Saturday will include the first public appearance of the Army's latest armoured fighting vehicle, Ajax.
The Tank Museum will also drop 250,000 poppies over a battle re-enactment.
The event is one of several commemorations marking the first use of tanks on 15 September 1916 in World War One.
Tanks first arrived at Bovington in October, moving from a smaller training camp in Suffolk.
Author and broadcaster Kate Adie said they arrived in secrecy, with local people being ordered to "pull down their blinds and sit in the back room" while the vehicles went by.
Writing in 'Fighting On the Home Front', she said: "One local shepherd, name of Patience, was reported to have refused to abandon his sheep, grazing in an adjacent field.
"Soldiers therefore built a fence of hurdles so that the secret weapon might pass unseen."
But historian Chris Copson said the secret was apparently short-lived.
"The story is that the tank did what tanks do best and broke down in the middle of Bovington High Street," he said.
As part of Saturday's commemorations, the Army will publicly unveil its Ajax armoured reconnaissance vehicle for the first time.
The head of the Army, General Sir Nick Carter, has said the 589 Ajax vehicles will be at the core of the Land Joint Strike concept, a tactic for use in difficult terrain and in densely-populated urban areas.
Former Great Britain rower Emily Taylor called coach Paul Thompson a "massive bully" in June, prompting the review.
His handling of double sculls crew of Vicky Thornley and Katherine Grainger was also questioned.
After Taylor complained, Thompson said he did not consider himself a bully and that his "recollection of the situation" differed from hers.
The internal review stated that more care needed to be taken of athletes' well-being.
It also recommended creating a "more inclusive environment" with "greater focus on the effects of stress on performance and well-being".
"There is a need to address the perception of balance between the different squads on the High Performance Programme," the review stated.
"The leadership must understand and define the limits on what is an acceptable sub-culture."
Taylor was selected in the original squad for the London 2012 Olympics but was left out of the women's eight and retired after the Games.
Thompson was criticised by Thornley's boyfriend Rick Egington, who won Olympic medals in the men's eight in both 2008 and 2012.
Egington said that Thompson had "mismanaged" Thornley and Grainger's partnership in the run-up to the Rio Games, as they attempted to win places in the women's eight following disappointing early-season form in 2016.
That plan to win those places was scrapped after they failed to meet the required standard. After reforming as a double sculls pair, Thornley and Grainger won a surprise silver medal in Rio.
Athletes and coaches from both the current and previous set-up were able to give evidence confidentially on their dealings with Thompson, who joined British Rowing in 2001.
His women and lightweight crews won a gold and two silver medals at Rio, having won three golds and a silver at London four years earlier.
It comes three months after ministers rejected banning them after a report said it could not be justified, but use would be discouraged.
Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies has written to councils encouraging them to introduce the restrictions.
There are worries the lanterns pose a fire risk and endanger livestock.
Two environmental groups and the Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW) have called for an outright ban.
Conwy council has already stopped people releasing sky lanterns and helium balloons on its land.
Mr Davies warned of the danger and stress that sky lanterns could pose to animals and highlighted the fire risks.
"Sky lanterns and helium balloons pose a real danger to livestock, other animals and buildings," Mr Davies said.
"A recent independent report has found that the fire risk associated with the use of sky lanterns is significant, while we also know that the ingestion of debris from lanterns can kill or seriously harm an animal.
"We want to make people aware of the risks and that is why I have written to local authorities across Wales to encourage them to introduce a voluntary ban on the release of sky lanterns and helium balloons.
"We are also supporting the UK government's efforts to work with retailers and manufacturers to ensure that clear warnings about the risk of helium balloons and sky lanterns are placed on packaging."
Farming unions have previously highlighted the risk the lanterns pose to animals and farm buildings, while fire service bosses have also warned of the dangers.
FUW parliamentary committee chairman Gavin Williams welcomed Mr Davies's intervention, saying the UK government had "failed to act" on the issue.
He said: "The risk of livestock ingesting parts of sky lanterns and the fire risk they represent are a huge concern, and we have asked members to continue to report incidents to their county branches so that evidence of their effects can continue to be collected."
The Marine Conservation Society and Keep Wales Tidy have called for an outright ban.
He said he doesn't like the idea that Apple does not pay tax at the same rate he does personally.
Apple, Google and Amazon have been criticised for not paying enough in tax and the firm is currently the subject of a European Commission tax inquiry.
Mr Wozniak, who left Apple in 1985, was also ambivalent at the prospect of the UK leaving the European Union.
Mr Wozniak - widely known as Woz - founded Apple along with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne 40 years ago. It has grown to become one of the most valuable businesses in the world, worth around $600bn.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "I don't like the idea that Apple might be unfair - not paying taxes the way I do as a person.
"I do a lot of work, I do a lot of travel and I pay over 50% of anything I make in taxes and I believe that's part of life and you should do it."
When asked if Apple should pay that amount, he replied: "Every company in the world should."
He said he was never interested in money, unlike his former partner Steve Jobs. "Steve Jobs started Apple Computers for money, that was his big thing and that was extremely important and critical and good."
Apple channels much of its business in Europe through a subsidiary in the Republic of Ireland, which has a corporation tax rate of 12.5% compared to the UK's 20%.
In the US it's 35%, but three years ago the company admitted two of its Irish subsidiaries pay a rate of 2%. It has built up offshore cash reserves of around $200bn - beyond the reach of US tax officials.
Tax avoidance has been brought back into focus by the recent Panama Papers revelations.
Mr Wozniak said: "We didn't think we'd be figuring out how to go off to the Bahamas and have special accounts like people do to try to hide their money.
"But you know, on the other hand I look back any company that is a public company, its shareholders are going to force it to be as profitable as possible and that means financial people studying all the laws of the world and figuring out all the schemes that work that are technically legal. They're technically legal and it bothers me and I would not live my life that way."
The UK should be free to exit the European Union, Mr Wozniak added.
"I don't care. I think that all the states of Europe - it's better if you have very easy transportation - like movement from one to another to another", he said.
"Like we drive in the US from 50 individual states that all have their own laws and customs and typical types of people - you just drive through, and there are no customs hang-ups or anything...
"I'm not against secession. If a state wants to leave the union let them leave. I don't think we should have even fought our civil war, we should have let the states leave."
Mr Wozniak, who was speaking at the Business Rocks technology summit in Manchester, backed Apple over its recent tangle with US authorities over access to data: "Apple has been the good guy.
"There are politicians who do not have a clue as to what cyber security is all about trying to pass laws saying that Apple has to make a product less secure.
"Why? That's a crime. That is just so horrible. I just cry! Why would Apple do it for such a weak case where the government were not going to get any valuable information at all - it's impossible."

But according to Mr Giraldo, stickers boasting the image of Colombia's infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar are by far the most popular.
"The best seller is Pablito," Mr Giraldo says of the crime boss, who was shot dead in Medellin while trying to escape from police 20 years ago.
Mr Giraldo is by no means the only one cashing in on the image of the man many consider the greatest outlaw of the 20th Century.
At the height of his power, Pablo Escobar was said to be the seventh richest man in the world, with his Medellin drugs cartel thought to be behind up to 80% of all the cocaine shipped to the United States.
His cartel not only trafficked drugs, it terrorised Colombia in the 1980s and early 1990s, bribing, kidnapping or killing all those who stood in its way.
Such was his ruthlessness he is widely held responsible for some 4,000 deaths. Others say the real number is closer to 5,000.
And yet, here in Medellin, some people still affectionately refer to Escobar as Pablito, and in the commercial district of Junin T-shirts and wristwatches emblazoned with his face as well as books and DVDs telling his story are on display.
Last year, Colombian TV network Caracol released a 63-episode series called Escobar: The Boss of Evil.
The series has already been sold to 66 countries, including North Korea.
Pirated copies of the series are immensely popular in Medellin's markets even as Caracol airs the series for a second time.
David Bustamante is one of those selling the DVDs. He says he has no qualms about making money out of the drug lord's story.
"I don't mind selling it. Maybe because his was a war that didn't affect me," says Mr Bustamante, who was just a baby when Escobar was killed.
Caracol has not released figures of the profits it has made on the series, but it seems to be on its way to becoming one of the biggest commercial successes in the history of Colombian television.
But not everybody in Colombia is happy about the commercial success of all things Escobar.
"In a way it is an example of the triumph of culture embodied by Pablo Escobar, in which profit, making three bucks, is more important than anything else," says Rodrigo Lara Restrepo, whose father, Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, was shot dead on Escobar's orders in 1984.
Federica Arellano agrees with Mr Lara. He lost his father in the 1989 bombing of a commercial plane ordered by Escobar in an attempt to kill presidential candidate Cesar Gaviria.
Mr Gaviria was not on board the plane - having cancelled his plans for security reasons - but all 107 passengers and crew, and three people on the ground, died in the attack.
"Personally, coming back home and seeing his [Escobar's] face on the TV screen is an insult, a slap in the face," Mr Arellano says.
"It is also sending quite a damaging message. It is saying: 'Go and become a criminal, because that way you can make money fast and lift your family out of poverty,'" Mr Arellano, who chairs a foundation for Escobar's victims, argues.
"Thankfully there are still some sensible people who rejected the idea of having the Pablo Escobar trademark registered," he adds, referring to a recent move by the drug baron's family to cash in on his continued popularity.
Escobar's son, Santiago Marroquin, recently launched a clothing range with images of his father.
Mr Marroquin, who lives in Argentina, says he does not sell the garments in Colombia out of respect for his father's victims.
But, at least in Medellin, it is not difficult to find T-shirts bearing Escobar's face, or Colombians who still see the founder of the Medellin cartel as a sort of hero willing to buy them.
"People really like them because it's like wearing a [picture] of a Saint you have faith in," explains Jenny Zapata, who sells Escobar-themed T-shirts at Pasaje Junin in Medellin.
"The thing is, some people see Pablo Escobar as a bad guy and others see him as a hero, as someone who was able to do the things that no-one else was able to do here in Medellin. And a good example is the barrio [neighbourhood] he built," she adds.
The neighbourhood, nicknamed by its inhabitants Pablo Escobar, sits atop one of the many hills that surround Medellin's city centre.
It is one of the many "gifts" Escobar gave to the city's poorest inhabitants in an attempt to secure their loyalty.
It is this sort of generosity which explains why, two decades after his death, he remains a cult figure among some.
A big flag with the drug baron's face clearly marks the neighbourhood's entrance.
"We respect the pain of his victims, but we ask people to understand our joy and gratitude, what it means to move out from a garbage dump to a decent house," Ubernez Zavala, a local community leader, tells the BBC.
According to Mr Zavala, Barrio Pablo Escobar has become a popular stop for tourists, with several companies in town offering Escobar-themed tours.
He says residents do not mind the commercialisation of Escobar's image, but he acknowledges that there is unlikely to be any agreement between those who see Escobar as a monster and those who still worship him as a saint.
"The only consensus is that Pablo Escobar is part of our history," he concludes.
The hosts were 28-6 up at half-time as forward Oliver Roberts twice went over.
Ryan Brierley, Ukuma Ta'ia and Kyle Wood all crossed twice and Gene Ormsby, Michael Lawrence and Ryan Hinchcliffe once each to complete the rout.
John Davies, Luke Briscoe and Ian Hardman touched down for the visitors, who have now lost both their matches.
The last four years have been dedicated to winning gold - and over the course of the next four days, each of them will find out whether it was worth all the hard work.
Britain have an impressive Olympic record when it comes to rowing, winning 24 gold, 20 silver and 10 bronze medals since the Games began.
It is also the only sport in which Britain have won gold at every Olympics since 1984 - a run of seven Games - with a certain Sir Steve Redgrave chipping in with five.
BBC Sport asks four British Olympic champions to rate GB's medal chances at London 2012:

Who are they? Reserves two years ago, Heather Stanning and Helen Glover have transformed themselves into a world-beating crew. They are unbeaten in 2012, having won gold in all three World Cups before setting an Olympic best in the first heat to qualify for Wednesday's final.
Four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent: "You'd have to say they're favourites for the event. They have been solid all season and they've got one race left. Their improvement in the last couple of years has been staggering and I think that's made them more fearless. They haven't been fazed by anything."
Olympic gold and bronze medallist Martin Cross: "These two are a nailed on gold medal. World champions New Zealand haven't got it together and it's hard to see the Australians getting close either. It might be the first British female rowing gold medal and maybe even the first British gold of these Games."
Watch them in the final on Wednesday 1 August at 11.50 BST.

Who are they? Three-time Olympic silver medallist Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins are unbeaten since they paired up in 2010 - a run of 22 victories. They smashed the Olympic record by nearly five seconds in the heats to confirm their tag as favourites.
Five-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Steve Redgrave: "They seemed so relaxed last week when I saw them and the heats were probably the best I've seen them scull. Everyone talks about three silvers with Katherine but the reality is the first was a surprise, the second was where they should have finished and the third was disappointing as they were joint favourites. Now they're big favourites and a class about everyone else."
Cross: "The heats were a dream start to their Olympic campaign. With Australian rival Kim Crow taking on the single as well, it's hard to see how that extra burden will do anything other than help the British. It looks like the gold Katherine has been waiting for is really on the cards."
Watch them in the final on Friday 3 August at 10:30 BST.

Who are they? Richard and Peter Chambers are bidding to become the first British brothers to win gold since the Searles triumphed in 1992. Together with Rob Williams and Chris Bartley, they won gold at the last World Cup in Munich and looked impressive on their way to the final in London.
Redgrave: "This is one of the boats which I would put down as favourites for gold. They put the Australian to bed in the heats in impressive fashion. They've still got work to do, but they've shown they have the potential to win big here."
Pinsent: "They are there or thereabouts. If I could sell them a second, that would be invaluable to them because this event is an absolute battle from start to finish. They have looked impressive so far in the regatta and that will give them confidence going forward."
Watch them in the final on Thursday 2 August at 10:00 BST.

Who are they? Constantine Louloudis returned to the boat which includes James Foad, Ric Egington, Matt Langridge, Alex Partridge, Tom Ransley, Mo Sbihi, Greg Searle and cox Phelan Hill - just before the Olympic regatta having recovered from a back injury. They have improved race by race but Germany remain favourites.
Redgrave: "The eight will have great confidence after winning the repechage. Louloudis raced twice this season and that's been in this regatta. The Germans have won every race in last four years, but won't have it all their own way. I think our guys can spring a surprise."
Cross: "They have made a real step on and are in the silver medal zone. The need to do something that I haven't seen from them at all this season to win gold. It's a big ask, but it's not impossible. It would be one of the most sensational performances if they do beat the Germans for gold."
Watch them in the final on Wednesday 1 August at 12:30 BST.

Who are they? The boat made famous by Redgrave, Pinsent, James Cracknell and Tim Foster won gold in the last three Olympics. Pete Reed, Andy Triggs Hodge, Tom James and Alex Gregory have only raced in this formation since June but they are neck-and-neck with Australia in the battle for gold.
Pinsent: "Watching them in the heats, it was the best I've seen them row. The Australians look good so it sets it up nicely for a clash between those two crews in the final. Coming into the regatta, I would have put the Australians as favourites, but after the heats I'd put us marginally ahead."
Two-time Olympic gold medallist James Cracknell: "We all knew both Britain and Australia would win their respective heats, but it was about who got out of the blocks best and I think that was us. I thought we had a grumbling V8 engine beneath our boat compared to an over-revving Japanese one which the Aussies had."
Watch them in the semi-finals on Thursday 2 August at 10:10 BST.
Liam McMeechan and David Allan assaulted Tahir Ahmed at his A&A newsagents in South Trinity Road on 12 August 2016 and tried to steal cash.
McMeechan, 23, pleaded guilty to assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement and attempted robbery.
Allan, 50, pleaded guilty to assault and attempted robbery at the High Court in Edinburgh.
The court heard Mr Ahmed, 54, fought off machete-wielding McMeechan before the pair fled.
The shopkeeper was treated in hospital for a fractured skull and various lacerations to his head.
Mr Ahmed had 14 staples put into wounds to his forehead and temple and was kept in hospital for 48 hours.
He was left with permanent scarring following the attack.
Police who arrived at the shop found items on the floor along with spatters of blood. The abandoned weapon was also recovered along with a scarf.
The scarf was found to have DNA from the mother of McMeechan, who was the former partner of Allan.
Mr McGuire said CCTV footage placed the two accused together in Edinburgh that day and analysis of McMeechan's phone showed it had been in the vicinity of the crime scene at the time of the offence.
Lord Boyd of Duncansby called for background reports ahead of sentencing next month and remanded the men in custody.
Guernsey's Watson, 23, came within two points of beating Serena Williams in the third round of Wimbledon last year.
Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka and Madison Keys have also committed to playing the event, which ends a fortnight before Wimbledon.
"I had some incredible moments on grass last year and want to do even better in 2016," Watson said.
"I was sorry to have to miss the event last year and I'm looking forward to starting my grass-court season there," added the world number 56, who was unable to play last year's tournament through injury.

Police were called to Cwmcarn High school, Caerphilly county, on Thursday after concerns were raised about the behaviour of two children.
A 15-year-old girl from Newbridge and a 14-year-old girl from Risca were arrested and bailed.
The teacher, Alison Cray, 46, said she had been working as normal since.
"It was all handled before it got to me," said the maths teacher.
"I know very little about it. It all happened elsewhere and I wasn't directly involved at all.
"I've very lucky that I'm at Cwmcarn and that they have handled it so well. I've been working as normal and I'm fine."
Ms Cray has been at the school for more than 10 years.
Gwent Police officers were called just before lunchtime on Thursday but there was no physical confrontation when officers arrived.
Nobody was harmed as a result of the incident and the matter was resolved peacefully.
Police said the 15-year-old pupil was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill, possession of a bladed article on school premises and conspiracy to commit murder.
The second girl was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
Both have been released on bail while the police continue their investigation.
A statement on the school's website from head teacher Jacqui Peplinski following the arrests said: "Please be assured that the concerns were dealt with swiftly.
"There was no risk to any staff or learner and the relevant support services were contacted as a precautionary measure.
"Cwmcarn High is a caring and safe environment and we are committed to everyone's safety. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns."
A spokesman for Caerphilly council and the school said support had been put in place for pupils and staff.
"We would like to assure parents that all appropriate steps were taken to respond effectively to the situation. We are now helping the police with their inquiries," the statement added.
The prime minister will attempt to persuade the Dutch, French, Polish and German premiers to back his changes to the UK's EU membership.
The EU Referendum Bill will confirm the question to be put to voters: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union?"
The vote will take place by 2017.
The referendum bill was announced as part of a packed legislative programme in the Queen's Speech, which also included an increase in free childcare, an income tax freeze and the right-to-buy for housing association tenants.
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said the EU debate was "where the prime minister's focus is", adding that the answer to the referendum question "will decide whether this Queen's Speech is still being talked about in 100 years' time".
Downing Street said the draft law's first reading in the Commons was a "concrete step towards settling the debate about the UK's membership of the EU".
Mr Cameron has pledged to renegotiate the UK's relationship with the EU before holding the referendum, and has vowed to visit all 27 other member states ahead of a summit in June.
First up are Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and French President Francois Hollande, followed by Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopa and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Mr Cameron has called for changes to EU migrants' welfare entitlement, while some Conservatives also want the primacy of British law to be reaffirmed.
The PM has hinted he could vote to leave the EU if his requests are not granted, saying he "rules nothing out".
Downing Street said the choice put to voters "should not be on the basis of the status quo but on a reformed relationship with the EU that the PM is determined to deliver".
But some member states have questioned the need for any change to EU treaties, and ruled out any watering down of the key principle of freedom of movement.
David Cameron is starting renegotiation of the terms of Britain's EU membership ahead of a referendum. Here is some further reading on what it all means:

Responding to the Queen's Speech, Labour's acting leader Harriet Harman said her party would back the referendum bill.
Outgoing Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg warned against complacency and called for Mr Cameron to lead the bid for Britain to stay in the EU with conviction.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the wording of the referendum question was "simple, straightforward" and "unambiguous".
He added: "However, that Cameron is opting to give the pro-EU side the positive 'Yes' suggests strongly that his negotiations are so much fudge.
"He has already decided which way he wants the answer to be given, without a single power repatriated."

Colm Cavanagh and Peter Harte grabbed a goal in either half for Tyrone, with Niall Loughlin finding the net late on for the Oak Leafers at Pairc Esler.
Tyrone led 1-7 to 0-2 at half-time, then Harte netted a penalty in the 58th minute after Ronan O'Neill was fouled.
The Red Hands hit 1-6 without reply in the second half, including Cavanagh's goal after 17 minutes.
Struggling Derry failed to score from play for 41 minutes but Loughlin hit an injury-time consolation goal.
Derry pushed Tyrone all the way in last year's decider before losing after extra-time but this was a totally different contest.
Damian Barton's side did lead by 0-2 to 0-1 after six minutes following points from Emmett McGuckin and a Mark Lynch free, but failed to score again in the opening half.
They were competitive early on but hit five wides and Tyrone grew in authority, Cavanagh's goal putting them 1-2 to 0-2 in front.
It was a rare collector's item for Cavanagh, getting on the end of Padraig McNulty's unselfish pass to bury the ball from close range left-footed past Thomas Mallon.
Within seconds, Derry went down the pitch and almost equalised but had no luck as Ryan Bell's thunderous shot crashed off the cross bar.
Man-of-the-match Mattie Donnelly made a rare foray forward from his defensive role to score, with Mark Bradley and Ronan O'Neill each scoring a brace from play as Mickey Harte's side coasted to an eight-point interval lead.
Tyrone introduced Sean Cavanagh for the start of the second half for his goalscoring brother.
Conor Meyler pointed after 20 seconds, but Derry rallied with three of the next four points, two frees from James Kielt and a long-range point from Bell.
That reduced the deficit to 1-9 to 0-5, but that was as good as it got.
Donnelly re-established Tyrone's momentum with another confident point and Cahir McCullagh and Niall Sludden picked off easy scores as the intensity fizzled out of the contest.
A late Tyrone penalty from Harte put even further distance between the sides as he buried inside Derry's left-hand post to make it 2-12 to 0-6 with a long 12 minutes for the Oak Leafers still to play.
Loughlin's injury-time strike put some respectability on the scoreboard.
Tyrone: N Morgan; A McCrory, J McMahon, P Hampsey; C McCarron, M Donnelly (0-2), P Harte (1-2, pen, 2f); C Cavanagh (1-0), P McNulty; D McClure (0-1), N Sludden (0-1), C Meyler (0-1); M Bradley (0-2), C McCullagh (0-1), R O'Neill (0-2)

The state-owned telecoms firm said it had concerns about the content Netflix was offering and accused it of failing to have a necessary business permit.
The US company announced earlier this month that it had added 130 countries, including Indonesia, to its service - taking it almost worldwide.
One expert said the setback had been "inevitable".
Telekom Indonesia said Netflix needed to work with it to ensure objectionable content was removed.
"The issue is about the permit. They don't follow the rules. They also display violence and adult content," the firm's consumer director Dian Rachmawan told the Jakarta Post newspaper.
"We must [block it] before things get more complicated and create a serious issue."
The country's government said that it was not behind the move.
"Other internet service providers are still allowing Netflix access. So, it is a pure corporate decision," said communications minister Rudiantara.
"[But] it will be difficult for Netflix. You can see for yourself on how much content there is [in Netflix] that must be censored."
Indonesia is one of Asia's most highly populated nations with about 250 million people living amongst its islands. Many of those people, however, would not have fast enough internet access to stream video.
Netflix has not disclosed how it intends to address the issue.
"We've seen these reports too and are looking into it. No further comment," a spokesman told the BBC.
The ban is not the first problem Netflix has faced since making its surprise announcement at the CES tech trade show.
The Kenya Film Classification Board is considering a block of its own saying the platform posed a "threat to our moral values and national security" because it had not submitted it shows for local ratings.
Vietnam's government has also told the service it must obtain an official licence and have its content edited by local censors or it would be in breach of the law.
The disputes will be closely watched in China, where Netflix is still seeking permission to launch.
Private DVDs of all the latest films and television series are openly for sale in shopping malls and markets across Indonesia. They cost less than $1 (70p). There are occasional raids by the police but mostly authorities turn a blind eye.
So, the idea that the government was concerned about Netfix breaking copyright had been met with cynicism.
However, there is widespread concern in Indonesia about pornography. In 2008, the country passed a controversial anti-pornography bill and websites that the government deems not "healthy" for society are blocked and that includes the popular video clip platform Vimeo.
Indonesia has one of South East Asia's most free presses, but major television stations are controlled by powerful politicians and they are increasingly being used to further their agenda.
The country's censorship board also regularly bans politically sensitive films.
One of those films, the Oscar-nominated documentary The Act of Killing, is on Netfix. It focuses on the perpetrators of the mass killings of suspected communists between 1965 and 1966.
Among Indonesia's growing class in the capital Jakarta - the Twitter capital of the world - there was great excitement about Netflix entering the market.
There is now dismay at efforts to control what they can watch on it.
"This was absolutely inevitable," commented Guy Bisson from the media research firm Ampere Analysis.
"When you are considering a global launch or even a local launch you have to take into account local regulations and politics as well as local morals and customs.
"There have been many incidents in the past where what seems to be an innocuous programme in the West caused problems when shown elsewhere.
"One example was the British quiz show The Weakest Link - it went down very badly in Asia because it was considered incredibly rude how the host spoke to the contestants."
However, Mr Bisson added that this did not necessarily mean Netflix should have rolled out its service more slowly.
"You could argue it should have taken this into consideration," he said.
"But there will always be differences of opinion on local content and other teething problems."
Australians were consuming junk food every day rather than as an indulgence, said the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) report.
The study of 40,000 Australians found, on average, people consumed the equivalent of 32kg of chocolate a year.
Australia scored 61 out of 100 in the CSIRO's Healthy Diet Score Survey.
"The scores were fairly unflattering across all respondents," said CSIRO research director Prof Manny Noakes.
"If we were handing out report cards for diet quality Australia would only get a C," said Prof Noakes.
Prof Noakes defined junk food as those foods that should be an occasional treat, such as chocolate, cake and fast food.
Obesity rates are continuing to rise in Australia.
Almost two in three Australian adults and one in four children are overweight or obese, according to the government's Institute of Health and Welfare.
Australians needed to eat less junk food and eat smaller portions of food, said Prof Noakes.
"[Junk] food is no longer just an indulgence - it's become mainstream and Australians are eating it each and every day," she said.
"They also need to be more mindful of every bite they take by eating more slowly and consciously."
The survey evaluated a person's diet based on variety, frequency and quantity of the essential food groups as well as individual attributes such as age and gender.
The jury deliberated for over four hours before returning a majority not guilty verdict in favour of William George McVeigh.
Mr McVeigh, from Forthriver Green in the Ballygomartin area of Belfast, was also acquitted of two alternative charges - sexual activity with a child and sexual assault.
The trial spanned three weeks.
Mr McVeigh had been accused of raping the teenager in Woodvale Park in the early hours of Saturday, 31 October 2015.
The court heard evidence from both the teenager, her mother and Mr McVeigh.
The court was also shown CCTV footage taken from various locations on the Shankill Road, which captured the girl and Mr McVeigh together.
During the trial, Belfast Crown Court heard that after attending a birthday party at a local pub, the teenager and her friend walked towards a Chinese takeaway on Lanark Way, where they became separated.
After encountering Mr McVeigh - who had been drinking at a friend's house - at the takeaway, they started walking up the Shankill Road.
The girl, who is now 16, admitted she was so drunk on the night in question that she could barely recall meeting Mr McVeigh outside the takeaway, that she could not recall what happened and that she had only a vague recollection of being in Woodvale Park with him.
Prosecutors argued that Mr McVeigh took the girl into Woodvale Park, where he raped her.
However, this claim was rejected by the jury.
Mr McVeigh had admitted meeting the girl at the takeaway, but he said it was her who instigated any sexual activity between them.
He also said he believed she was older, that she told him she was 19 and that anything that occurred was consensual.
Before the verdicts were delivered, the judge addressed the public gallery and said any outbursts would not be tolerated.
Inverness's Central ward, which includes Merkinch, Dalneigh and parts of Crown, will lose one of its representatives if the changes come into effect next May.
The boundary changes would mean six fewer councillors across the Highlands.
Central councillors said their busy and deprived ward would suffer.
Changes to council ward boundaries are to be made in most of Scotland's local authority areas.
The Scottish government has accepted proposals for changes in 25 council areas which will take effect next year.
There will be some changes in all mainland council areas apart from Argyll and Bute, Dundee and the Borders.
Rylance, who won a best supporting actor Oscar for Spielberg's Bridge of Spies, will star as Pope Pius IX.
The film will tell the true story of a Jewish boy in Italy in 1858 who is taken from his parents, raised as a Catholic and later becomes a priest.
Filming will start when Spielberg finishes work on Ready Player One.
That sci-fi movie starts filming this summer so The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara is expected to go into production at the start of 2017.
Rylance also has to complete work in the Christopher Nolan World War Two film Dunkirk, which goes into production next month.
The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara will be written by screenwriter Tony Kushner, known for his work on the Oscar-winning Lincoln.
The true story of the six-year-old Mortara became an international scandal which was ultimately thought to lead to the crumbling of the structure of the Papacy, as it was at the time, and then to the unification of Italy.
The boy was taken from his family home in Bologna because a servant in his household said she had baptised him as an emergency measure when he was very ill.
Mortara grew up as a Catholic under the protection of Pope Pius IX, who refused to return him to his parents despite their pleas.
Mortara subsequently became a priest in the Augustinian order.
Rylance was formerly best known for his work in the London theatre, including in his role as artistic director of the Globe theatre.
He is still active on the West End stage, notably being nominated for an Olivier award for starring as King Philippe V of Spain in Farinelli and the King. He was nominated just hours after winning his first Oscar.
But Rylance has become more open to film roles in recent years and The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara will mark his third movie with Spielberg.
As well as the Cold War thriller Bridge of Spies, Rylance is also playing the title character in Spielberg's The BFG, based on the best-selling children's book by Roald Dahl.
The BFG is set for release this July.
The High Court ruled in May that Jon Platt did not have to pay a £120 fine to Isle of Wight Council after he took his daughter to Florida.
The court ruled Mr Platt had no case to answer because, overall, his daughter had attended school regularly.
The council can now apply to the Supreme Court for permission to appeal.
Senior judge Lord Justice Lloyd Jones said the case "raised a point of law of general public importance".
He said the High Court had refused permission to appeal, but the council could make its own application to the Supreme Court.
The formal refusal by the High Court is a procedural device to allow the Supreme Court to select which cases it wishes to hear.
After Mr Platt refused to pay the £120 fine, magistrates ruled he had no case to answer.
The local authority took the case to the High Court for clarification and Mr Platt won the backing of senior judges.
Following the ruling, the government said it would consider changing the law over unauthorised absences.
The minister of state for schools, Nick Gibb, asked the council to appeal against the decision with the guarantee the Department for Education would fund the bid if it went to the Supreme Court.
Since 2013, tougher government regulations have meant head teachers can only grant leave of absence to pupils in schools in England during term time in "exceptional circumstances".
According to local authority data, almost 64,000 fines were imposed for unauthorised absences between September 2013 and August 2014.

Mr Paisley appeared on the programme the morning after he launched the Ulster Resistance movement at a rally in Belfast.
Kathryn Blair, 25, was targeted as she walked down a street in Marylebone with her boyfriend and a group of friends.
The Metropolitan Police said an incident involving two male suspects with a gun happened in Ivor Place at 20:30 BST on Monday.
A firearm was "seen" but "not used" and "none of the victims were injured and nothing was stolen", police said.
No arrests have yet been made, but police have said they will increase patrols in the area.
A spokesman for the Blairs said: "Kathryn was with a group of friends.
"No-one was hurt and nothing was stolen."
A Met spokesman said: "The victims were a man and a woman; the suspects were two males."
Police said one of the suspects was wearing dark clothing and a balaclava, while the other had a scarf wrapped round his face.
Officers believe the incident is linked to another attempted robbery which happened in Boston Place about 30 minutes earlier.
The earlier episode involved a female victim and a male suspect.
"On both occasions a firearm was seen but not used - no shots were fired.
"None of the victims were injured and nothing was stolen during the incidents," the spokesman added.
The Met Police said they are tracking down CCTV covering the area.
As well as daughter Kathryn, Tony and Cherie Blair have three sons, Euan, Nicholas and Leo. Kathryn, a barrister like her parents, is their third child.
The couple's oldest child, 29-year-old Euan, got married to long-term girlfriend Suzanne Ashman at All Saints parish church in Wotton Underwood, Bucks, last Saturday.
The technology, made by Lord Sugar's digital signage company Amscreen, will use a camera to identify a customer's gender and approximate age.
It will then show an advertisement tailored to that demographic.
Tesco says the screens will be rolled out across all 450 of its forecourts in the UK.
"It's like something out of Minority Report," said Amscreen's chief executive Simon Sugar, Lord Sugar's eldest son.
"But this could change the face of British retail, and our plans are to expand the screens into as many supermarkets as possible."
A Tesco spokeswoman said: "This is not new technology."
"No data or images are collected or stored and the system does not use eyeball scanners or facial-recognition technology", she added.
The length of someone's hair could be used to work out their gender, she said.
Privacy campaigners said companies had to tell their customers they were using the technology.
Nick Pickles, of Big Brother Watch, said: "If people were told that every time they walked into a supermarket, or a doctor's surgery or a law firm, that the CCTV camera in the corner is trying to find out who they are, I think that will have a huge impact on what buildings people go into."
Systems could only be "ethically deployed" if customers agreed to opt in to having their behaviour tracked, he added.
Philip James, joint head of technology at Pitmans law firm, argues that this technology is similar to the way social media sites tailor adverts to users based on the content of their profiles.
"The capture of facial signatures represents a potentially much greater infringement of customers' privacy in the absence of prior consent," he said.
The screens are expected to reach five million customers.
Akpom, 19, scored a hat-trick for the Gunners in pre-season and manager Arsene Wenger said he would not be sent out on loan.
Earlier on Friday, 20-year-old Hayden, who can play in defence or midfield, made the season-long move to Hull.
Both players are England Under-20 internationals.
"It's exactly what I need at this stage of my career," Hayden told the club website.
"This club is an ambitious one, so to be part of this is a great opportunity. It's a chance for me to prove myself."

Darlington was part of Wrexham's coaching staff under Kevin Wilkin and was briefly caretaker manager before leaving in May 2015.
He re-joined Welsh Premier League champions New Saints in December 2015 but left his role earlier this month.
"I had different offers on the table to go to different places," Darlington said.
"I've been speaking to Dean Keates since he had the job, and it (the challenge) excited me.
"It's a different challenge to when I first went to Wrexham because we're starting from scratch."
Darlington will combine his role at Wrexham with his role as head of coach education for the Welsh Football Trust.
He said continuing with the Trust was was one of the main reasons why he accepted Wrexham's offer.
"One Football League club was interested, but I wasn't prepared to give up my role with the FAW Trust," Darlington added.
"I love developing Welsh coaches and Welsh players.
"The other opportunities I had were other clubs in the National League.
"But when National League teams come asking then I was only going to go to Wrexham."
Manager Keates released nine players following a disappointing season which saw the Dragons finish 13th in the National League.
Midfielders Mark Carrington and Paul Rutherford and goalkeeper Chris Dunn have signed new deals while youngster Leo Smith has signed his first professional contract.
James Hurst became Wrexham's first signing of the close season as Keates rebuilds the squad.
"We can bring the players that we want in," Darlington added.
"We haven't got to inherit any players that we don't want so we'll bring a brand new squad together.
"We will get that blend right and we will get the balance right.
"But bringing 18 new players into the club, not knowing each other and not knowing the dynamics, the balance and how things work and operate, is going to take a while.
"We want them to get on to that Racecourse and grow with the fans."
The Briton was due to fight Avtandil Khurtsidze on 8 July in London.
But following his arrest in New York, the Georgian's promoter Lou DiBella has confirmed he will be unable to travel.
Thirty-three members and associates of a Russian crime syndicate, including Khurtsidze, have been detained.
In a statement, acting Manhattan US Attorney Joon H Kim said: "The dizzying array of criminal schemes committed by this organised crime syndicate allegedly include a murder-for-hire conspiracy, a plot to rob victims by seducing and drugging them with chloroform, the theft of cargo shipments containing over 10,000 pounds of chocolate, and a fraud on casino slot machines using electronic hacking devices."
Khurtsidze earned the bout with Saunders after winning the interim belt by stopping Britain's Tommy Langford in April.
Saunders' most recent fight was a successful title defence against Artur Akavov in December.
With Sam Warburton struggling to force his way into the starting XV for the first Test, flanker O'Mahony is the favourite to lead the side at Eden Park on Saturday.
"He's a great captain - we all know that," said Stander.
"He's ready to do it."
Media playback is not supported on this device
O'Mahony is the man in possession having captained the Lions to victory against the Maori All Blacks last weekend.
Number eight Stander added: "He's my captain at Munster and his heart is on his sleeve. I don't think there are a lot of leaders like him. I think he's going to make us proud."
Who should captain the Lions against New Zealand?
Head coach Warren Gatland says there will be some "lively" debate when he and his coaches finalise the match-day squad to take on New Zealand.
Before the Auckland showdown, the midweek team crushed the Chiefs 34-6 with some players "putting their hands up", according to Gatland.
There will be a final selection meeting on Wednesday.
"I have no doubt there will be some healthy debate," the Kiwi said.
"The selection meeting will be with all the coaches - it's always a consensus of the group, it's never one person's call or decision.
"I am sure there will be some lively debate and discussion, but once a decision will be made we will agree on it 100%."
The bulk of the Test side will be the one that comprehensively beat the Maori, although Gatland says wing Elliot Daly has "possibly" played his way into contention.
Both Jack Nowell and Liam Williams were also sharp against the Chiefs as the Lions scored four tries.
"Someone like Jack Nowell - it just hadn't happened for him the last couple of games," Gatland added.
"I was pleased to see him play well, Elliot was sharp as well and Liam [Williams], and as a group they looked pretty dangerous and pretty potent.
"It's pleasing we created [chances], and now we are starting to finish them."
Gatland added: "The selection meeting will be tough and that's the way we want it.
"We spoke about the quality of the squad before we left and some players haven't disappointed us.
"On Saturday we are up against the best team in world in their own back yard where they haven't lost since 1994. It's going to be a big test for us."
Meanwhile, after Gatland was accused of devaluing the Lions shirt by calling up six replacements over the weekend, only prop Allan Dell actually took to the field at the Waikato Stadium.
Kristian Dacey, Tomas Francis, Cory Hill, Gareth Davies, Finn Russell were all unused replacements.
"We wanted that group of players to go 80 minutes," he said.
"The guys that were on the bench we said all along they were coming in for cover."
Sexton comes in at fly-half with Farrell at inside centre, the first time the combination has started in New Zealand.
Captain Sam Warburton replaces Peter O'Mahony on the blind-side flank, with Maro Itoje preferred to George Kruis.
Robbie Henshaw and George North have been ruled out of the rest of the tour.

Ireland centre Henshaw (pectoral) and Wales wing North (hamstring) were injured in the 31-31 draw against the Hurricanes in Wellington and will return home after Saturday's match.
Wales second row Alun Wyn Jones keeps his place in the starting XV despite a difficult outing in the first Test, and strong midweek performances from Courtney Lawes and Iain Henderson having given Lions head coach Warren Gatland "food for thought".
Lawes, CJ Stander and Jack Nowell are among the replacements after playing in the midweek draw with the Hurricanes on Tuesday.
Ken Owens, Jack McGrath, Kyle Sinckler, Rhys Webb and Ben Te'o also make the bench.
The Lions lost the series opener 30-15 in Auckland, with Lions boss Gatland citing a lack of physicality in the forwards, which he has sought to address with the inclusion of Saracens lock Itoje and Cardiff Blues flanker Warburton.
"You have to make the tough calls," Gatland said.
"We saw Maro's impact in the first Test and he will bring an edge and a physicality, as will Sam Warburton in terms of pressure on the ball."
But while those changes were expected, Gatland has been reluctant to field Sexton and Farrell in the same midfield in the tour matches.
"Both have played well and it gives us that attacking option in the 10-12 channel," Gatland continued.
"We created opportunities in the first Test and there were a few that we didn't finish."
New Zealand have made two changes - Waisake Naholo comes in on the wing and Anton Lienert-Brown at outside centre.
They replace injured pair Ben Smith (concussion) and Ryan Crotty (hamstring).
Experienced Welshman Jones retains his place in the second row and will partner England's Itoje, who was selected ahead of countryman George Kruis.
"It's a big game for him," Gatland said of Jones.
"He was a bit disappointed with last week and how it went.
"He's pretty focused and pretty motivated. Normally in the past when he's had those sort of challenges he has really fronted the next game.
"He's trained well this week and I think he's looking forward to Saturday night."

Following the first Test defeat, Gatland accused Jerome Kaino of targeting Lions scrum-half Conor Murray, something the New Zealand flanker denies.
"I never go into a game thinking that I am going to target someone and intentionally hurt them," Kaino said.
Gatland was then caricatured as a clown in the New Zealand Herald after his claims while All Blacks boss Steve Hansen described the Lions coach's comments as "desperate".
The Lions lost a 14-point lead as they drew with the Hurricanes in their final midweek match.
British and Irish Lions: L Williams, A Watson, J Davies, O Farrell, E Daly, J Sexton, C Murray; M Vunipola, J George, T Furlong, M Itoje, AW Jones, S Warburton (c), S O'Brien, T Faletau.
Replacements: K Owens, J McGrath, K Sinckler, C Lawes, CJ Stander, R Webb, B Te'o, J Nowell.
After decades of austerity following the Islamic Revolution, middle-class Iranians have developed a taste for high-end designer goods, and for Tehran's young rich, shopping has become the new religion.
"Exposure to foreign trends through travelling, the internet and satellite television has created a desire for branded products," says Bahar, a 30-year-old fashion blogger.
"Showing off is a big part of the story. By spending huge amounts of money on big brands, well-off Iranians want to show they've made it."
One group of super-rich young Tehranis have taken showing off to new levels with their own Instagram site - Rich Kids of Tehran, where without any perceptible sense of irony, they post pictures of their designer clothes and designer lifestyles.
When the site first appeared last year it prompted fury and resentment among poorer Iranians and the conservatives who dominate Iran's political and legal institutions.
But the Rich Kids seem undeterred by the controversy.
Recent postings include pictures of Tehran Fashion Week and a question about where people are going on holiday this year - the responses range from Italy and Istanbul to Japan and Dubai.
Because luxury brands are still the preserve of the rich, they don't yet show up in the Iranian Customs Authority's list of top 100 imports.
But there is an indication of the potential for growth in the most recent figures for cosmetics imports.
In the year to March 2015, cosmetics made up 0.1% of the country's $52bn (£32.8bn) total imports - many of them big name brands snapped up by increasingly image-conscious consumers.
In big cities all across Iran, traditional bazaars now face fierce competition from American-style urban shopping centres where big name Western brands are on conspicuous display.
But although these luxury shopping centres look exactly the same as retail outlets anywhere in the world, the designer goods on display have actually been brought in by third-party importers via Turkey and the Gulf States.
The outlets that sell them have no connection to the big brand manufacturers.
Big Western fashion brands are not banned from doing business in Iran.
But international banking sanctions in place against Iran over its nuclear programme make it very difficult for them to get their profits out.
To date Spanish clothing retailer Mango, Italian fashion boutique Benetton, and luxury women's designer Escada, are among the very few Western companies to open shops in Iran.
The backdoor way in which foreign brands are imported into Iran means they are more expensive than they would be abroad, but so far this doesn't seem to be deterring the shoppers.
Mariam, an office worker who earns the equivalent of just $17,000 a year, has just blown more than a month's salary on a new Burberry bag.
She bought it online from an Iranian website that offers clothes and accessories from big brands and Western High Street retailers.
The site takes payments via local credit cards, and offers a free home-delivery service.
Mariam told BBC Persian she would rather pay more for good-quality brand names than cheaper but inferior, locally made equivalents.
But she concedes that status also plays a big role in how she decides to spend her money.
"There's a lot of pressure on middle-class people to go out wearing designer clothes or an expensive watch," she says. "Personally I feel more confident when I'm wearing brands."
Fashion houses like Burberry currently have no control over this so-called "grey market" of their brand names in Iran.
But that is clearly something which could change.
Despite years of sanctions, the International Monetary Fund puts Iran's per capita GDP (gross domestic product) at $16,500.
That means Iranian consumers on average have more money to spend than their counterparts in emerging markets like Brazil, China, India and South Africa.
With the prospect of banking sanctions being lifted if a nuclear deal is finally reached, the big brands are waking up to the potential of a barely tapped market which could offer big dividends in the future.
The 21-year-old has made two substitute appearances for the Saints, including a Premier League debut in February 2015, but has not featured for them since.
He played four times in a month-long loan spell at Crewe in the 2015-16 campaign, scoring once.
"I'm really happy to be here and I'm excited by the challenge ahead," Seager told the club website.

Haydn Erasmus played a key role when Treorchy Male Choir reformed in Rhondda after World War II in 1946.
John Cynan Jones, an old friend and former conductor of the choir, said Mr Erasmus had three passions in his life - his family, his choir and the boys' club movement.
The choir said it was deeply saddened by the news.
"He was the last remaining member of the pre-war choir. An absolute pillar of the choir for seven decades," Mr Jones told BBC Radio Wales.
More recently he was known as the "elder statesman" of Treorchy.
"He was a great man, and I don't use that term lightly," said Mr Jones.
"He had three great passions in his life - his family, his choir and the boys' club movement harnessing outstanding talents especially on the soccer field."
Mr Erasmus began his working career in the coal industry, but then moved to work at the EMI factory in Treorchy.
As a result of his work there he received the BEM (British Empire Medal for services to industry).
He sang with the original pre-war choir before it was disbanded, and when it was reformed in 1946 he was one of the reforming members.
"Choirs are the lifeblood of the Rhondda valleys. It was part of our social set-up," said Mr Jones.
"We had this wonderful influx of young men coming back from the forces, looking for something to do, and Haydn was instrumental in getting them together under Mr John Haydn Davies.
As a singer Mr Erasmus was outstanding, he added.
"Haydn had a particularly rich baritone voice which had a special unique quality which helped to blend together the other members in the group."
The choir said in a statement: "During his lengthy membership he witnessed the choir's unparalleled competition success at the National Eisteddfod, appeared in over 1,500 concerts, recordings and broadcasts, royal performances and tours to Switzerland, Strasbourg, China and Australia.
"Haydn rarely missed a concert and was a stalwart member of his section, becoming a dependable, conscientious mentor to many new choristers."
Over the years Mr Erasmus served as a committee member and chairman with the choir, and in recognition of his contribution was appointed vice-president in 2007.
The club said in a statement that the 30-year-old had appeared at Bath Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
"The club takes matters such as this very seriously.
"It does not condone behaviour of this sort, and can confirm that Faosiliva has been suspended pending conclusion of the judicial process.
"Bath Rugby will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of this process."
Faosiliva joined Bath in 2013.
He has won 15 caps for Samoa, including making two appearances at last year's World Cup when he lined up against the United States and Scotland.
He is expected to be sentenced in May.
Four 19-year-olds and a youth changed their pleas during a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
The attack left Watford fan Nic Cruwys in a coma following a match at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 7 March 2015.
The five, and another teenager who previously admitted grievous bodily harm, will be sentenced on 9 September.
Daniel Lloyd, of Longfellow Road, Dudley; Joseph Lister, of Palmer Close, Wednesfield and a 15-year-old, who cannot be named, admitted grievous bodily harm.
Robert Beech, of Springfield Road, Wednesfield, admitted threatening behaviour, while Ryan Meer, of Watling Street, Gailey, Staffordshire, pleaded guilty to affray.
All five were acquitted of causing grievous bodily harm with intent following a trial which lasted almost two weeks.
Mr Cruwys suffered serious brain injuries and was in a coma for three months following the "unprovoked attack", the trial heard.
He had travelled with friends by train to watch the match, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
The attack happened as they made their way back to the city's train station and planned to visit a pub for a drink.
David Lee, prosecuting, described it as "an unprovoked group attack", adding the defendants were "going in a group to that area to look for trouble, which they found and caused".
The court heard Mr Cruwys continues to receive treatment for his injuries.
In a statement his family said they hope the verdicts "reflect the injuries Nic suffered and our family's pain and suffering".
"Although Nic will never fully recover, we are now hoping to try to move on with our lives and try to put the horrific situation behind us," they said.
And the activists were hoping the same thing would happen to Exxon, a company that has fended off efforts to make it toe the line on climate change for a quarter of a century.
The global giant has taken some hefty blows over the past 12 months.
It is struggling to sell oil and gas in a flooded market, profits are the lowest in 13 years, and the company has lost its vaunted AAA investment rating, for the first time since the great depression.
It is also facing investigations by a number of attorneys general.
Exxon and others, green groups say, will be shown to have misled investors and the public about the true state of climate science and will be fined, condemned and buried in the very ground from which it extracts its evil fuels.
With the fair winds from the Paris climate agreement at their back, climate-conscious shareholders took aim.
But, while the shareholders of BP, Shell, Statoil and others overwhelmingly backed motions to measure their exposure to carbon restrictions, at Exxon this was opposed by over 60% of investors.
And almost all other straightforward attempts to tackle the climate question were blown out of the water.
Yes, they did pass a resolution that would allow small shareholders to nominate climate-friendly people as board members, but they would still have to be accepted by a majority of investors.
Exxon shareholders take 'small step forward' on climate
Exxon Mobil shareholders are cut from a different cloth.
In the Myereson Symphony Centre, in downtown Dallas, they gathered, older, greyer, angrier.
Chairman and chief executive, king and emperor, Rex Tillerson articulated their feelings on all things climate change.
Over the course of the two-hour meeting, he was interrupted by applause on only two occasions.
The first came after a contributor from the floor said the planet had cooled over the past century and we needed more global warming not less.
"If you don't like Exxon, why don't you go ahead and sell it and buy some solar stock?" the speaker from the floor asked, adding: "But whether you'll then have enough money to pay for the jet fuel that you used to come to visit here..."
There was no whooping and hollering, but plenty of applause.
Exxon says it has incorporated a price for carbon in all its internal workings since 2007.
It supports the idea of a revenue neutral carbon tax.
And Mr Tillerson accepts climate change is real and spoke of "catastrophic" consequences if it were left unchecked.
So why did the shareholders baulk at these essentially mild climate-change resolutions that Exxon could easily incorporate into its current business models?
I think years of being the global bad boy on global warming have taken their toll.
It has been painted as the uncaring exploiter, sneaky oil seller that has dodged and denied on climate change to suit its pockets.
And whether these things are true or not, Exxon has not been able to soften its image in a way others have done.
Its slogan could well be: "No-one likes us, but we don't care."
This same sensitivity, insecurity even, was manifest in its interactions with the press.
Journalists could not record images from the TV screens on which the AGM was relayed to a media room. We were accompanied everywhere by minders.
We were free to enter the meeting itself, but could use only pen and paper to record our impressions.
The broadcast of the meeting was also unusual, to say the least.
All we saw for two hours was the face of Mr Tillerson, no shots of the audience at all, not even when he was being asked questions.
The second and last burst of applause in the meeting came on the question of freedom of speech.
This is a very big issue for Exxon Mobil as the shareholders believe current investigations into the alleged undermining of climate science are an assault on their First-Amendment rights.
"The fact that people have different opinions on climate change; they have every right to their opinion, whether we agree with it or not - I will support their right to say so," said Mr Tillerson to a hefty ovation.
It is a little ironic, then, that he did not want to extend that same right to all of the press, as the Guardian newspaper was told it was not welcome at the shareholder meeting.
The more under the cosh Exxon feels, the less likely it is to embrace the ideas of outsiders, however mild.
If its shareholders are really ready to take the steps many want on climate change or indeed anything else, green groups will need to find another means.
They will not be told.

The 25-year-old moved to the Red Rose from Leicestershire in September 2014 and played 19 games in two seasons.
He was restricted by injury in his first campaign, but took a T20 career-best 4-26 against Birmingham this term.
The former England Lions player has picked up 158 first-class wickets at an average of 38.52.
"I'm excited at the prospect of being able to play for a club like Northamptonshire," he told the club website.
"They are a strong, tight-knit side that have done exceptionally well this season; I can't wait to be a part of it."
Meanwhile, Northants will play South Africa on 21 May next year in a warm-up game for the tourists' three-match One-Day International series against England.
Mrs Wang has been charged with "state subversion", which carries a possible life sentence, and Bao Longjun with "incitement to state subversion".
Both have already been in detention for around six months.
China has been conducting a widespread crackdown on lawyers and their assistants, with scores detained.
Earlier this week, at least seven other human rights lawyers and their associates were formally arrested on similar charges.
Like Mrs Wang and Mr Bao they worked at Beijing law firm Fengrui and had been held in secret since last summer.
Correspondents say that while many of the lawyers detained in the crackdown have since been released, the authorities appear to be taking a strong line against Fengrui, which was known for taking on high-profile cases.
Last month another prominent rights lawyers, Pu Zhiqiang, received a suspended jail sentence after a brief trial for "inciting ethnic hatred" and "picking quarrels" in social media posts.
Rights group Amnesty International called that sentence "a deliberate attempt by the Chinese authorities to shackle a champion of freedom of expression".
Troops began razing homes along the Gaza border in 2013 to create a "buffer zone" and eliminate smuggling tunnels, after a surge in attacks by militants.
But those evicted are given little or no warning, no temporary housing and inadequate compensation, HRW alleges.
The Egyptian government insisted that residents supported the demolitions.
Jihadist groups based in North Sinai, including an affiliate of so-called Islamic State (IS), stepped up their attacks after the military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.
More than 3,600 civilians, security personnel and militants have been killed in the ensuing violence - more than two-thirds of them since the government announced plans for the buffer zone in October 2014 - HRW cited media reports and official statements as saying.
So far, the military has destroyed nearly all buildings and farmland within about 1km (0.6 miles) of the Gaza border using uncontrolled explosives and earth-moving equipment, according to analysis of satellite imagery, videos and interviews with residents by HRW detailed in a report released on Tuesday.
The military aims to eventually clear an area of about 79 sq km (30 sq miles) along the Gaza border, including all of the town of Rafah, which has a population of about 78,000 people, HRW says.
The government says the operation will allow the military to close smuggling tunnels it alleges are used by jihadists to receive weapons, fighters and logistical help from Palestinian militants in Gaza.
But HRW said little or no evidence had been offered to support this justification, citing statements from Egyptian and Israeli officials that suggested weapons were more likely to have been obtained from Libya or captured from the Egyptian military.
HRW also said the authorities had provided residents with little or no warning of the evictions, no temporary housing, mostly inadequate compensation for their destroyed homes - none at all for their farmland - and no effective way to challenge official decisions.
It concluded that such actions violated protections for forcibly evicted residents laid out in UN and African conventions to which Egypt is a party, and might also have violated the laws of war.
HRW said the government had also failed to explain why troops had not used sophisticated tunnel-detecting equipment, for which they have reportedly received training from the US, to find and eliminate tunnels without destroying people's homes.
"Destroying homes, neighbourhoods, and livelihoods is a textbook example of how to lose a counterinsurgency campaign," said Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW's Middle East and North Africa director.
The Egyptian government said it had complied with "recognised international human rights laws and standards to guarantee the protection of the lives and property of citizens and to limit their suffering from adverse living conditions".
"All measures were taken in consultation and co-ordination with the local residents, who are aware and convinced of the importance of their participation in the protection of Egypt's national security and contribution to eliminating transnational terrorism," it added.
In April 2017 the militant group revealed the locations of it weapons caches, and said it had completely disarmed.
But the Spanish government said the group would "get nothing" in exchange. It demanded that Eta "disarm and dissolve itself".
Its announcement followed a decision on 5 September 2010 not to carry out further attacks. In January 2011, it declared a permanent and "internationally verifiable" ceasefire but refused to disarm.
The group - which killed more than 800 people and wounded thousands in more than 40 years of violence - aimed at Basque independence. It had declared at least two ceasefires before, but abandoned them both.
Euskadi Ta Azkatasuna, Eta, whose name stands for Basque Homeland and Freedom, first emerged in the 1960s as a student resistance movement bitterly opposed to General Franco's repressive military dictatorship.
Under Franco the Basque language was banned, their distinctive culture suppressed, and intellectuals imprisoned and tortured for their political and cultural beliefs.
The Basque country saw some of the fiercest resistance to Franco. His death in 1975 changed all that, and the transition to democracy brought the region of two million people home rule.
But despite the fact that Spain's Basque country today enjoys more autonomy than any other - it has its own parliament, police force, controls education and collects its own taxes - Eta and its hardline supporters have remained determined to push for full independence.
Its violent campaign has led to more than 820 deaths over the last 40 years, many of them members of the Guardia Civil, Spain's national police force, and both local and national politicians who are opposed to Eta's separatist demands.
However, in recent years the group has been under pressure. Although it has mounted occasional attacks, experts believe that concerted political and police action has squeezed its capabilities.
Waning support
Certainly the days in the late 1970s, when the group was able to kill 100 people per year on average - just as Spain was awakening from a long dictatorship and moving towards democracy - appear to be long past.
After three people were killed in 2003, Eta refrained from any other deadly attacks until the last days of 2006.
The Eta of today has some logistical networks in France and a pool of a few hundred youths scattered across the borders of the Basque Country, in France and Spain, willing to engage in deadly missions.
French and Spanish police have sought to reduce Eta's capability and the Spanish government and judiciary have banned the political wing of the movement, which seeks an independent state for the Basques.
The logic for banning the political wing, which has operated for the last decade under different names - Herri Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok, Batasuna - is that both wings are inextricably linked.
Banning the political branch, it was hoped, would reduce the flow of funds and support to Eta units, and prevent it gaining political representation.
Spanish and French police, working together, have dealt a number of recent blows to the group.
The arrest of Eta's suspected military head, Garikoitz Aspiazu Rubina, in November 2008, followed the detention of its political commander, Javier Lopez Pena, six months earlier. Both arrests took place in France, long used as a base by Eta.
Since then, French and Spanish authorities have announced the arrest of a string of allegedly senior figures in Eta, giving the impression that they have the group on the run.
At the same, popular support for Eta was slipping away, correspondents say.
This was not only because of the gains made by moderate Basque nationalists, but also because there was a growing feeling that Eta was desperately out of touch with public opinion.
In May 2009, radical separatist parties were excluded from Basque elections.
Basque Nationalists failed to win an outright majority and the Basque parliament voted in its first non-nationalist government in 30 years, led by Socialist Patxi Lopez.
Changing times
Eta's July 1997 kidnapping of a 29-year-old local councillor for the ruling Popular Party in the Basque region, Miguel Angel Blanco, was a turning point in public opinion.
The group demanded that, as a prerequisite for his release, its 460 prisoners who were held in jails all over Spain be returned to the Basque region. The demand was not met.
Blanco was found shot twice in the head. He died in hospital 12 hours later.
Horrified by the young councillor's death, more than six million people across Spain took to the streets over four days to demand an end to Eta violence.
The massive public mobilisation was likened to the marches for democracy that took place towards the end of Franco's regime, and in an unprecedented move some of Eta's own supporters publicly condemned the killing.
The following year, Eta decided to call an indefinite ceasefire.
But that was officially ended in December 1999 after the then government refused to discuss Eta's demands for Basque independence.
The Spanish government had always maintained it would never consider entering talks with the armed group unless it renounced violence.
The Popular Party campaigned for re-election in part on its tough line against Eta and its defence of Spain's constitution in the face of demands for greater autonomy from the Basque country and Catalonia.
But the 11 March 2004 bomb attacks in Madrid introduced a new factor in the equation.
The Popular Party initially said the attacks were the work of Eta, although the finger of blame soon moved to point at Islamist groups.
The electorate rejected the government and voted in the Socialist Party, partly because the Popular Party was perceived to have misled them.
Eta attacks declined in the wake of Madrid bombings, as the group was thought to believe it could no longer achieve its aims by violence.
However, its 2006 ceasefire, described as "permanent", was illusory.
The bombing of a car park at Madrid airport in December of that year left two people dead. Spanish Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba declared the peace process "broken, liquidated, finished".
At least eight people have been killed by the group since then.
The train was travelling between the two biggest cities, Yaounde and Douala, when it overturned near Eseka.
The Associated Press said there were 1,300 people on the train instead of the usual 600.
The train was busier than usual as landslides caused by heavy rains have blocked roads across Cameroon.
Transport minister Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo'o said some 300 people were also injured in the derailment, and that the death toll was likely to rise.
The Italian, who is 29 on Tuesday, has agreed a three-year contract to link up again with manager Ronald Koeman.
Pelle scored 55 goals in 66 matches for Feyenoord under Dutchman Koeman, who was named Saints boss on 16 June.
We need more players to bring the squad to where we need and expect
The former Parma player said: "This is going to be the best choice for me because the club wants to keep improving every year."
He is Saints' second signing of the summer, following the £10.9m arrival of FC Twente attacking midfielder Dusan Tadic.
Pelle initially joined Feyenoord on loan from Serie A side Parma in 2012, before joining the Dutch club on a permanent basis in January 2013.
He moves to St Mary's after Saints sold England striker Rickie Lambert to Liverpool for about £4m last month.
Koeman said: "We needed a good player in that position.
"He's a tall striker with a lot of movement and he's fast. He's a player who gives confidence to the team because he keeps the ball."
Koeman expects to make more signings as he rebuilds his squad following the departures of Lambert and midfielder Adam Lallana to Liverpool, and defender Luke Shaw to Manchester United.
"We know that we need some more players because we haven't occupied all of the positions," the 51-year-old said. "We need more players to bring the squad to where we need and expect."
Saints centre-back Dejan Lovren remains a target for Liverpool, who had a £20m bid for the player rejected last week.
The Saracens centre, 26, has failed to recover from a hamstring injury sustained in Scotland's 26-13 win over Japan in Toyota City last weekend.
No replacement will be flown out. Scotland have cover in midfield with Peter Horne, Matt Scott and the uncapped Huw Jones.
Winger Sean Lamont has also played Test rugby at centre.
Vern Cotter's team, named on Thursday, is likely to show a host of changes from the first Test.
Rory Sutherland, 23, will start his first match for his country at loose-head prop in place of the injured Alasdair Dickinson, who was replaced in the squad by Gordon Reid.
Reid, 29, had his first full training session with the squad on Tuesday. The Glasgow Warriors forward was on an Ayr beach during Saturday's first Test when he was contacted by Scotland team manager, Gavin Scott, telling him he was required in Tokyo.
"I was with the family, it was a nice day on the Costa del Ayr," he said. "I wasn't watching the game but I had it taped. When I got the phone call, I said to the missus, 'Just to let you know, I'm going away'. She was pretty angry, to be honest, because it was such short notice.
"It was just because I was leaving her. She doesn't like us to be apart. Young love, eh? Well, it's getting a bit older love now."
Scotland trained in persistent rain and Reid added: "Looks like I brought the Scottish weather with me."
Last week, Cotter said he would seek to give everyone game time on tour and back-row forward Josh Strauss, not in the 23-man squad in Toyota City, will likely appear from the start.
Flanker John Barclay is carrying an injury but trained on Tuesday. There are slight injury concerns over prop WP Nel and loose forward Ryan Wilson also.
Andres Pastrana of Colombia and Jorge Quiroga of Bolivia were not allowed to visit opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez and former mayor, Daniel Ceballos.
Both prisoners started a hunger strike around a week ago.
State officials said the ex-presidents were part of an hostile campaign against the country.
President Nicolas Maduro has said Venezuela's judiciary is independent and those in jail are criminals.
However, their supporters and rights groups say the two men's imprisonment is politically motivated and accused Mr Maduro of cracking down on his opponents.
Mr Lopez is being held in the Ramo Verde military prison outside Caracas, while Mr Ceballos is in a civilian prison in the central state of Guarico.
The presidents attempted to visit both sites.
Leopoldo Lopez is on trial for inciting violence during three months of protests against the government of President Maduro during which 43 people died including some police officers.
Daniel Ceballos, who was mayor of the western city of San Cristobal near the border with Colombia, which was a focus of many of the protests, is accused of supporting street blockades and calling for violence at the protests.
Last month a group of former world leaders sent an open letter to the Venezuelan government urging the release of the opposition leaders.
In April a former Spanish prime minister, Felipe Gonzalez, who announced his intention to help in the legal defence of Leopoldo Lopez, was also denied access to him.
The Venezuelan attorney general said under the country's law Mr Gonzalez could not form part of Mr Lopez's legal team.
Mr Maduro has been scathing about international support for Venezuelan opposition leaders.
"In general, these former prime ministers are usually discredited. They don't even want them in their own countries and then they come over here to disturb us."
Justin Robertson, 36, was paid £1,500 by Benjamin Carr, 22, to kill his former stepmother Pennie Davis in September 2014, after a long-running feud between the pair.
Robertson had denied murder but was convicted after a six-week trial.
His appeal was dismissed at a hearing of the Court of Appeal in London.
Mother-of-five Mrs Davis, 47, was found dead by her new husband in a field at Leygreen Farm near Beaulieu in the New Forest, where she had been tending to her horses.
She had been stabbed 14 times in an attack described by trial judge Justice Andrew Popplewell QC as "particularly brutal".
Carr, from Southampton, was convicted of conspiracy to murder and ordered to serve a minimum of 30 years.
Margaret Roberts, soon to become Thatcher, twice lost the general election in the safe Labour seat in 1950 and 1951.
But it was the beginning of a political journey that was to see her become the country's first female prime minister.
She would also be remembered negatively in Kent for the closure of the Royal Navy dockyards in Chatham and the last of the county's coal mines.
But she was fundamental in driving forward plans for the Channel Tunnel between Folkestone and Calais, which brought many jobs to the area.
Dorothy Shakespeare, who campaigned with Lady Thatcher in both elections, remembered her as a "warm person".
However, she doubted whether she would be able to climb the ranks in a male dominated world.
She said: "At the end of her [Lady Thatcher's] speech at an eve of poll meeting, the chairman said, 'ladies and gentlemen I would like you to know that you have just been listening to a future prime minister'.
"And I said to myself, 'not in my time'."
Although Lady Thatcher lost twice in Dartford, it was during her campaign that she met her husband Denis before marrying him in 1951.
Another setback occurred when she put herself forward as the Conservative candidate for the former Kent constituency of Orpington, but was rejected in 1954.
The town's current MP, Jo Johnson, said: "History could've been so different in many ways.
"Orpington, which I have the honouring of representing, unbelievably rejected her as a candidate in 1954 and it almost snuffed out her career.
"Back then it was felt a young mother of twins simply couldn't be a candidate."
She eventually was selected for the safe seat of Finchley in North London where she became an MP in 1959.
It was during Lady Thatcher's tenure as prime minister that the Royal Navy dockyards closed in Chatham in 1984.
She was, however, to make two visits to the dockyards after her retirement.
Paul Clark, who was a union representative and former Labour MP for Gillingham, said the decision to close the dockyard had a devastating effect on the Medway towns.
He said: "Some 400 years... of the Medway towns that had been built on the dockyard and all the people that worked there - suddenly overnight that had disappeared.
"That was as a consequence of the strategic defence review that was undertaken by Margaret Thatcher and her defence minister."
However, jobs were brought to the county with the construction and management of the Channel Tunnel.
John Noulton, who is a former director of public affairs at Eurotunnel and played a key role in negotiations with France over the Channel Tunnel treaty, said the project "wouldn't have happened without her".
He said: "What pleases me most is how popular it is with British people who were root and branch opposed to it when it was first proposed.
"And how little adverse impact it has had on Kent and the benefits it has brought to Kent."
The council cabinet has agreed in principle to develop a company to run Bupa Care Ltd homes across the county, after its contract with Bupa expires in May 2017.
The council said the current model did not have the resources to "deliver the required levels of services".
It said it could help develop care services.
A spokesman for Bupa Care said: "We are proud of the high quality of care that we deliver in the 12 homes we operate in Powys, which we lease from the council.
"We were surprised to learn in the local media that the council may set up a company to run these homes after the current contract expires next May.
"No final decision has been made and the council will take the next few months to review arrangements and decide what to do next."

Among them is Dr Michael Jacobs, who leads the specialist infectious diseases team at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
He received a knighthood after helping treat three Britons who caught Ebola while working in Sierra Leone.
Staff who responded to the crisis overseas also received awards.
How Ebola changed the world
Ebola: Mapping the outbreak
Ebola basics: What you need to know
The Ebola virus has killed more than 11,300 people in the last 20 months - most in the worst-affected countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
The disease is spread through close contact with infected fluids, putting health workers caring for patients with Ebola at heightened risk.
British nurses William Pooley, Pauline Cafferkey and army reservist Cpl Anna Cross who all contracted the disease while working in Sierra Leone, were treated at a specialist isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital.
Dr Jacobs said caring for them in this challenging environment was both a huge privilege and enormous team effort.
He said: "We were up in the unit 24 hours a day looking after the patients, led by the nurses who are working incredibly hard.
"They had to be very, very careful to make sure everyone was safe. And with them were doctors and all the other people looking after them."
He added: "Uppermost in our mind was what the nurses had been through when they were working in West Africa and what they had seen."
The team was also involved in trialling experimental drugs against the disease and by investigating patients in detail, they were able to add to a gradually growing knowledge of Ebola.
Dr Jacobs added: "We also learnt how incredible the NHS can be in an emergency like this and in a crisis. The teamwork between my colleagues was remarkable."
Dr Daniel Martin, an intensive care specialist at the hospital and part of the team, received an OBE.
The same honour went to Grace Jackson, of the Department for International Development, who helped coordinated the response to Ebola in Sierra Leone.
Meanwhile, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office announced that paramedic Collette Kalle was made an OBE for leading a medical team at an Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone.
Omaru Badara Sisay, who also received an OBE for his efforts in coordinating the flow of information in Sierra Leone, said: "Fighting Ebola took some incredible work and sacrifice from over 40,000 Sierra Leoneans, African, British and many other people and organisations who stood up to it there and then."
People working to combat other diseases and broader health issues were also on the honours list, including 10 awards for nurses at MBE level.
Prof Til Wykes, of King's College London, whose research concentrates on developing better treatments for schizophrenia, received a damehood for her work on clinical psychology.
Others include Harpal Kumar, chief executive of the charity Cancer Research UK, who received a knighthood.
Abortions are illegal in Northern Ireland except for cases where the woman's health is at risk.
That has led to women travelling to Great Britain seeking terminations.
But anti-abortion group Precious Life said allowing NI women to access NHS terminations would "run roughshod over the law and the democratic process".
The issue was raised by Scottish Green co-leader Patrick Harvie, who said NI women should have access to the service without facing huge costs.
During First Minister's Questions at Holyrood on Thursday afternoon, Mr Harvie said: "Many women in Northern Ireland find themselves left with no option but to travel elsewhere in the UK to access legal and safe abortion.
"The time and the stress that this costs them is bad enough but there are also significant financial barriers, with some organisations supporting these women estimating that at the low end it costs them at least £400 and in many other cases more than £2,000.
"Does the First Minister agree that the NHS in Scotland should be exploring what can be done to ensure that these women are able to access abortion in Scotland, if that's where they chose to travel to, without facing these kind of unacceptable financial barriers?"
He said abortion should be treated as part of normal healthcare and not "stigmatised".
Ms Sturgeon said she believed that no woman "should ever be stigmatised" for having an abortion.
She added that abortion should not be seen in isolation and was a fundamental part of healthcare.
Ms Sturgeon told the chamber: "I am happy to explore that with the NHS. To explore both what the situation would be right now in terms of accessing safe and legal abortion for women from Northern Ireland within NHS Scotland and whether there's any improvements that are able to be made.
"I believe, like Patrick Harvie, that women should have the right to choose, within the limits that we currently set down in law, and I believe that right should be defended.
"And when a woman, any woman, does opt to have an abortion, and let's stress that is never, ever an easy decision for any woman, then abortion should be available in a safe and legal way."
In a statement, Precious Life's director Bernadette Smyth said abortion was a "criminal offence" in Northern Ireland which "exists to protect both mothers and their unborn children".
"To make provisions for women to access free abortions in Scotland would be to run roughshod over the law and the democratic process in Northern Ireland," Ms Smyth added.
"This will not go unchallenged. There will be a public outcry."
Women from Northern Ireland are not legally entitled to free abortions on the NHS in England following a High Court ruling in 2014, which is being challenged in a legal action at the UK Supreme Court.
The Red Cross said a 55-year-old woman died of a heart attack in Guanacaste, near the epicentre of the quake, and a construction worker was killed when a wall collapsed.
The US Geological Survey said the 7.6-magnitude quake occurred beneath the Nicoya peninsula, 140km (87 miles) west of the capital, San Jose.
A tsunami alert which had been issued for the area has been cancelled.
The quake rattled buildings in some parts of the capital, San Jose, Reuters news agency reported.
Power and communications were briefly knocked out, according to the Costa Rican authorities.
Regional media reported the quake could be felt as far away as Nicaragua and El Salvador.
The US Geological Survey originally said it had a magnitude of 7.9, but revised it down to 7.6.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, which had at first issued a tsunami warning for the Pacific coast of most of Central and South America, has cancelled its alert.
President Laura Chinchillla said Costa Rica's emergency services were surveying the damage.
She said that so far there had been no reports of any serious damage to buildings.
Rugby union's Keelan Giles, Paralympic swimmer Ellie Robinson and gymnast Amy Tinkler make up the final trio from 10 nominated athletes.
The winner will be presented with their award on BBC One's The One Show on Wednesday, 14 December (19:00 GMT).
They will follow in the footsteps of past winners, such as Wayne Rooney, Andy Murray and Ellie Downie.
The top three were picked from an original list of 10, which included Downie (gymnastics), Sophie Ecclestone (cricket), Tom Hamer (Para-swimming), Lauren Rowles (Para-rowing), Georgia Stanway (football), Jess Stretton (Para-archery) and Rebekah Tiler (weightlifting).
In Keelan Giles' first four games for Pro 12 side Ospreys, he scored eight tries, including a hat-trick away to Lyon in the European Challenge Cup.
Ospreys coach Steve Tandy has described the 18-year-old as an "unbelievable finisher" and he has been compared to Wales' record try scorer Shane Williams.
Keelan was called up to Rob Howley's senior Wales squad for the autumn internationals and was one of the stars of Wales' Under-20 Six Nations Grand Slam campaign.
Swimmer Ellie Robinson broke the Paralympic record to win gold in the 50m butterfly at the Rio Games.
The 15-year-old also won bronze in the 100m freestyle, breaking a British record in the process, and has been described as a "great role model to both able-bodied and Para-athletes".
Earlier in the year, at the IPC European Championships, she brought back one silver (50m butterfly) and three bronze medals (50m, 100m and 400m freestyle).
Sixteen-year-old Amy Tinkler gave the performance of her life to take bronze on the floor at the Rio 2016 Olympics, becoming the first female British gymnast to win a medal in the event.
She was the youngest member of Team GB in Rio, and only the second British woman to win an individual artistic gymnastics medal, after Beth Tweddle's bronze in the uneven bars in 2012.
Tinkler also retained her floor title at the British Championships, winning gold for the second year in a row.
This award goes to the outstanding young sportsperson aged 17 or under on 1 January 2016, selected from nominations made to the BBC and by sports governing bodies via the Youth Sport Trust and in partnership with Blue Peter. Nominations closed on 11 November 2016.

A survey into the proposals for Union Terrace Gardens (UTG) was launched two weeks ago.
LDA Design said the aim - including new access from surrounding streets - was to make UTG a "lively cultural hub".
Aberdeen City Council said the survey showed 94% of people thought facilities would improve.
It drew more than 1,400 responses,
New access would be from Union Street and Union Terrace at the existing Burns Monument. The central lawn space would be retained, and there would be a new café pavilion opposite His Majesty's Theatre (HMT).
Four years ago, councillors rejected plans for a £140m transformation of the gardens.
Businessman Sir Ian Wood had offered £50m towards the cost.
Their ascent once seemed irrepressible - a team playing attractive football, backed by a board comprised of primarily local businessmen and, uniquely in the top flight, a fans' representative.
The Swans were lauded as the antithesis of modern football's greed, an antidote to a sport riddled with knee-jerk reactions and short-term thinking.
Now, however, they are just another club in a relegation scrap.
In the midst of their worst run of form since promotion to the Premier League in 2011 and with hostility mounting off the pitch following an American takeover in the summer, the club is at its lowest ebb for years.
So what is going wrong at Swansea?
On paper, a 3-1 defeat by Manchester United may seem a fairly unremarkable result, but Swansea's most recent loss was indicative of the malaise that has consumed the club this season.
The Swans were abject in every facet of the game, booed by their own fans as they trailed 3-0 after just 33 minutes against a United side who had failed to win their previous four league games.
In only his fourth fixture in charge, Swansea manager Bob Bradley questioned his players' commitment as he reflected on their sixth defeat from seven matches.
"It's a tough spot, there's no two ways about it. We understand very clearly where we are," he said.
"There's no hiding from the situation."
A 10th game without victory left the Swans second from bottom of the Premier League table and contemplating the stark prospect of relegation.
This squad is arguably Swansea's weakest since they were in the Championship, with an underwhelming summer transfer window failing to compensate for the departures of former captain Ashley Williams and forward Andre Ayew.
Although their sales were worth a combined £32m, Williams has yet to be replaced properly in central defence and new strikers Fernando Llorente and Borja Baston - the latter arriving for a club-record £15m - have struggled to make much of an impression.
Since Kenny Jackett's appointment when the club was in League Two in 2004, Swansea have evolved and improved almost every year.
This season, however, they have stagnated and are in danger of a first relegation since 2001.
The defeat by Manchester United was significant not only because of events on the pitch, but because of the antipathy brewing in the stands.
Cries of "we want our club back" were heard at the Liberty Stadium, as fans directed their fury towards the club's new American owners, Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan, and the directors from whom they had bought their controlling stake of 68% of shares in the club in July.
Chairman Huw Jenkins - who made more than £8m by selling 8.2% of his 13.2% stake - was singled out for criticism, having previously been praised as the driving force of Swansea's recent rise.
He led the consortium that saved the club, then in the fourth tier, from financial ruin in 2002 but, along with vice-chairman Leigh Dineen and fellow directors such as Martin Morgan, Jenkins is now facing the wrath of the fans who believe their saviours are acting in self-interest.
The Supporters' Trust raised concerns about the takeover, claiming it was not consulted on some decisions, one of which - the final call on Bradley's appointment - prompted an apology from Levien and Kaplan.
Even the Trust, however, has not been without its problems, with the supporters' body also apologising for failing to disclose the payments made to its former representative on the board, Huw Cooze.
The unrest off the field has been particularly striking because it is in such startling contrast to the communal spirit and continuity with which the club has been run in recent years.
Whereas the discord at board level may be out of character, Swansea are no strangers to regular managerial upheaval.
There were four managers between 2007 and 2014: Roberto Martinez, Paulo Sousa, Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup.
A steady and largely smooth succession, these changes were the result of successful tenures - Martinez jumped up to the Premier League with Wigan, Sousa joined Leicester and Rodgers moved to Liverpool, prompting Laudrup's arrival.
The Dane enjoyed unprecedented success in his first season - winning the League Cup, the club's first major trophy, and qualifying for the Europa League - but his sacking in February 2014 sparked a period of instability.
Whereas previous managers left of their own accord and bequeathed teams on the up, Swansea were now faced with the challenge of arresting a slump.
Garry Monk prospered initially but, since Laudrup's departure, the Swans have had four managers in less than three years.
After Alan Curtis' short stint as caretaker and Francesco Guidolin's nine months at the helm, current boss Bradley was thrust into a daunting scenario with Swansea 17th in the table.
The first American to take charge of a Premier League side, the 58-year-old recognised he faced a "huge" job to save his new club from relegation.
It has been a chastening start to Bradley's reign and, after four games, he is still searching for his first win.
After flickers of improvement in his first two matches against Arsenal and Watford, Swansea were comprehensively outplayed at Stoke and then utterly humiliated at home by Manchester United.
Bradley has chopped and changed tactically and in terms of personnel, but the Premier League is an unforgiving environment for a manager trying to familiarise himself with a new squad and a new competition.
With a difficult match away against Everton - and a reunion with former captain Williams - to come on Saturday, it may be some time before Swansea can rouse themselves from their current predicament.
The problem occurred when administration was outsourced to a platform used by financial advisers between 2013 and 2015.
No individuals suffered a loss.
The company apologised, and said clients' money - including pensions and investments - was now properly protected.
The FCA said Aviva had failed to put in place appropriate controls that would ensure investors would get their money back, should the company fail.
"Had Aviva suffered an insolvency event during the period, customers could have suffered loss," it said.
"Other firms with similar outsourcing arrangements should take this as a warning that there is no excuse for not having robust controls and oversight systems in place to ensure their processes comply with our rules," said Mark Steward, director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA.
In response Aviva, one of the largest pension providers in the UK, said it had strengthened its controls.
It has also established a specialist team to oversee the safety of customers' money.
"This should not have happened and we are sorry," said Andy Briggs, chief executive of Aviva UK Life.
"Aviva's customers have not suffered any loss and there has been no impact on advisers. We have addressed and resolved the issues identified."
Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) give courts powers including banning people from areas or from drinking in public.
But charity Homeless Link said CBOs, which replaced anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs), prevented homeless people from accessing vital services.
The Home Office said local agencies must determine whether their use of their powers was appropriate.
CBOs were introduced in October 2014 and more than 2,600 are currently active, according to Freedom of Information requests made by the BBC.
Thirty-eight police forces in England and Wales provided statistics.
Breaches incur a maximum five-year prison term.
Ministry of Justice figures show that in 2016, a total of 952 CBOs were issued following conviction at courts in England and Wales.
That figure rose from 707 the previous year, an increase of 35%.
John (not his real name) has a CBO preventing him from entering certain areas of Norwich under certain conditions.
He said he was given the banning order for being drunk in public.
"I kicked off so they decided to give me a CBO," he said.
John, an alcoholic, said the order stopped him from getting the help he needed, located in the city centre.
"I have to go into a shop and nick a sandwich because I can't come into the city centre," he said.
Dale Parker, co-founder of The People's Picnic, which provides home-cooked meals to help vulnerable people in Norwich, said CBOs failed to address the underlying issues of criminal behaviour and isolated the most vulnerable homeless people.
"The majority of services and outlets where people come to get food or the basics are in the city," he said.
"More often than not, the only crime those people have committed is the crime of being poor."
Jacqui McCluskey, of Homeless Link, the national membership organisation for homelessness charities in England, said issuing CBOs to those most in need was "no answer" to the rising numbers of people sleeping rough or finding themselves homeless.
She said the focus should instead be on providing the support needed to help people off the streets for good.
"We would urge authorities to work in partnership with local homelessness services to identify those who are sleeping rough and ensure that effective support is in place, including long-term solutions such as personal support, assistance into employment and increased availability of low-cost housing," she said.
"The priority needs to be tackling the root causes of homelessness, rather than punishing the most vulnerable in society."
Sgt Mark Shepherd, public order tactical adviser for Norwich, said the orders allowed individuals access to the services they needed, and did not accept they led to further crime.
He said: "Each one is for an individual person, at the same time identifying those services that can take them away from their offending lifestyle."
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We are determined to help the most vulnerable in society.
"We are clear that the anti-social behaviour powers should be used to tackle anti-social behaviour, not to target the most vulnerable in our communities. It is for local agencies to determine whether their use of their powers is appropriate.
"We are working to tackle anti-social behaviour, while also supporting people to move on from a life on the streets."
The Commons backed the Welfare Reform and Work Bill at Second Reading by 308 to 124 votes.
But scores of Labour MPs defied orders to abstain and instead voted against the bill, which includes plans to limit child tax credit to two children.
Forty-eight MPs are thought to have defied the leadership over the issue.
The LabourList website said those who rebelled included leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn and London mayoral candidates Sadiq Khan and David Lammy.
During a five-hour debate one MP, John McDonnell, said he would "swim through vomit" to oppose the legislation.
However, a Labour amendment seeking to derail the legislation was also defeated by 308 votes to 208.
Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman has faced criticism for her stance on the issue, with many MPs saying she should have been more outspoken in her opposition to curbs on child tax credits and cuts to other in-work benefits.
The scale of the Labour rebellion will not be known until details of the Commons divisions are published later.
However, there are reports that just under 50 MPs may have defied the leadership, more than 20% of the parliamentary party. Among those expected to vote against was leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn.
His three rivals, Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall, are thought to have followed Ms Harman's lead and abstained.
Reacting to the vote, Labour MP Diane Abbott tweeted: "Just voted against Tory welfare bill. Sorry for colleagues who knew it was wrong but abstained. We weren't sent to Parliament to abstain."
Conservative MP and chief secretary to the Treasury, Greg Hands, tweeted: "47 Labour rebels on welfare tonight. Huge. Biggest Labour rebellion for some time. Leadership crisis without actually having a Leader!"
The bill, which also seeks to lower the overall household benefit cap from £26,000 a year to £20,000 (£23,000 in London) and to train a further three million apprentices, has now cleared its first parliamentary hurdle and will now move onto more detailed scrutiny.
In a passionate debate, Conservative MPs lined up to support the measures while many Labour MPs said they could not support the bill, which was also opposed by the SNP, the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and the Greens.
Mr McDonnell said: "I would swim through vomit to vote against this Bill and listening to some of the nauseating speeches tonight I think we might have to.
"Poverty in my constituency is not a lifestyle choice, it is imposed upon people.
"We hear lots about how high the welfare bill is, let's understand why that's the case.
"The housing benefit bill is so high because for generations we've failed to build council houses, we've failed to control rents, we've done nothing about the 300,000 properties that stand empty in this country."
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said Labour was beset by "internal fear and loathing" and that the bill would put welfare funding on a "more sustainable footing" while protecting those most in need.
Speaking after the vote, he said: "Nearly 50 Labour MPs have defied their leadership and opposed our welfare reforms which will move our country from a low wage, high tax and high welfare economy to a higher wage, lower tax and lower welfare society.
"It's clear that Labour are still the same old anti-worker party - just offering more welfare, more borrowing and more taxes."
Scientists examined the best ways of checking for non-native wildlife for a report commissioned by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).
An estimated 58 invasive species cause at least £40m worth of damage a year to UK marine industries, the report said.
The harmful wildlife include algae and Pacific oysters.
The scientists tested several techniques for monitoring non-native species at sites on Scotland's west coast, including Loch Fyne and Firth of Lorn, and the Firth of Forth on the east coast.
Objects checked for alien life included the submerged bottoms of Northern Lighthouse Board navigation buoys.
The report has recommended that a network of sites could be surveyed for the presence of invasive plant and animal life. | Carl Darlington has said he had offers from other clubs before deciding to return to Wrexham's coaching team.

Until this year, secondary school performance has been judged mainly by what proportion of pupils get five GCSEs at grade A*-C, including English and maths.
Instead two new measures, known as Attainment 8 and Progress 8, have been adopted.
These will now be used by the government to judge whether schools are performing adequately.
For many years, teachers and heads had complained that to judge a school by its results in five GCSEs alone was unfair, because it did not offer broader information about the ability of the pupils being taught.
Obviously if a high-achieving child comes to a school, it will not take as much effort to get them to a good GCSE grade as it would a lower-achieving child.
So schools which were working with more challenging pupils with low prior attainment were effectively marked down in the league tables, because this extra challenge was not considered.
There was also concern that the benchmark only assessed pupils who got results at grade C and above. The new measure takes into account achievement from grades A*-G.
Tap here to search for the results for your area.
In basic terms, it aims to measure how well a school is serving its pupils by looking at where they started and where they end up.
It does this by looking at attainment in eight GCSE, or equivalent, subjects from grade A*-G for each pupil.
These results are then compared against the results of other pupils who came into secondary schools nationally with the same attainment levels.
A figure for those results across the school year group is then calculated. This result is then set within confidence levels, which set out how accurate the government believes the Progress 8 score is.
Progress 8 scores generally fall somewhere between -1 and 1.
The number (which is pretty abstract to all but the statisticians, as Progress 8 scores generally fall somewhere between -1 and 1) is then placed into one of five bands:
It is these bandings which will be of most use to parents.
Attainment 8 is about the raw results across individual pupils' best eight subjects.
But they are not just any old subjects. English and maths are compulsory - and worth double points.
Then there is the choice of three subjects from the English Baccalaureate (core academic subjects), and any other three from the DfE's approved list of qualifications - including vocational qualifications.
The results are only recorded at the school level and an average score per pupil is calculated and published.
The maximum number of points per school is 80 points per pupil. The national average across all state secondary school is 49.9 this year.
The short answer is that it is thought to be fairer to see a pupil's best achievement across a broader spectrum of subjects.
Teachers and head teachers had complained that the five good GCSEs measure was too narrow.
They also argued that the more recently introduced English Baccalaureate was too prescriptive and only relevant for the more academic students.
If attainment across a broader range of subjects are be counted, then arts subjects and vocational qualifications count for something in school accountability as well.
This has been a key concern, because the new measures are more complicated to read than the old tables based on five GCSE scores.
Progress 8 scores are far more abstract in that they generally fall somewhere between -1 and 1.
However, there are some figures in brackets below each score on the tables which measure how confident statisticians are that the figure above is accurate.
When the DfE trialled the new measures on panels of parents, many were confused by these scores and so the banded descriptions were introduced to aid understanding.
Secondary head teachers say that while is important for parents to look at a school's Progress 8 score, they should focus broadly on the descriptions such as "above average".
Parents may also wish to look at schools' Attainment 8 scores to have an overall idea of how they perform on GCSE results.
School performance measures are used just as much by officials to monitor standards and ultimately Progress 8 is an accountability measure.
A school is considered potentially failing if its Progress 8 score falls in the well below average band.
No, these new measures apply to England only.
However, there have been changes in terms of school accountability recently in Wales and Scotland.
Data on how well Scottish pupils do in reading, writing and numeracy was published for the first time, as part of a new Curriculum for Excellence.
The Welsh Assembly has recently reintroduced the publication of performance information, after abolishing it in 2001, in an attempt to raise standards.
Schools are now given a colour code - green, yellow, amber or red - according to how well they are performing.
School league tables are not published in Northern Ireland.
On Twitter, the Delta told passengers: "Our systems are down everywhere."
Delays were reported at a string of airports, including in the US, the UK, Iceland and Japan.
The airline has said en route flights are unaffected, but passengers waiting to board should check their flight status while the issue is addressed.
"Delta experienced a computer outage that has impacted flights scheduled for this morning," it said in a statement.
"Flights awaiting departure are currently delayed. Flights en route are operating normally."
One passenger told the BBC he was waiting with "several hundred" fellow stranded passengers at San Francisco airport, after being asked to leave a plane he had already boarded.
"We were ordered off the lane after approximately an hour or more," said Dick Ginkowski.
"Tempers are starting to get just a little bit strained at this point," he added. "They aren't able to rebook anyone on other carriers."
The uncapped 24-year-old was injured during a judo session with Maro Itoje.
"He's worked his socks off to get into contention for England and we're all frustrated for Sam missing out," Wasps director of rugby Dai Young added.
There was some good news for England with Saracens saying they hope fly-half Owen Farrell will return next weekend.
Sarries director of rugby Mark McCall says he thinks the number 10 - who has yet to play this season because of a back problem - will be fit for the Champions Cup game in Toulon.
England's training sessions in Brighton have been criticised by Premiership Rugby, with the umbrella body for the top-flight clubs unhappy with the timing and intensity of the camp, during which several players sustained injuries.
In addition to Jones, Bath winger Anthony Watson broke his jaw, while Exeter counterpart Jack Nowell tore his quad muscle.
England coach Eddie Jones has introduced judo sessions to help players develop skills which will be useful in the tackle area, but Premiership Rugby said the format of the training camp was "not anticipated".
Speaking following Sunday's 30-14 defeat at Saracens, Young refused to criticise Jones' methods but said the training camp should be reviewed.
"The important thing is that we look at it and we learn from it," Young told the club website.
"England and the clubs can't go head-to-head on this.
"England is not more important than the clubs and the clubs aren't more important than England. We have to work together."
"If you want to be selected, one of the things you have to do is sign," said UK Athletics boss Ed Warner.
He wants the agreement in place for the 2016 World Indoor Championships, taking place in Portland, Oregon in March.
He told British MPs such an agreement "has never been tested" in court but said UKA was talking to its lawyers.
Warner also called for Russia to be prevented from sending an athletics team to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The country was banned from international athletics competition following an independent World Anti-Doping Agency report that alleged widespread doping by Russian athletes.
Warner believes the "state-organised" scandal has been so serious that Russia should not be allowed to send athletes to Brazil.
Former British world champion sprinter John Regis told BBC Radio 5 live: "I would have found it very easy to sign for the simple reason that I know that I'm a clean athlete. I would have just read it, said yeah that makes a lot of sense a put my signature down the bottom."
According to Warner, speaking at a Culture, Media and Sport select committee on Tuesday, Doha's bids for the 2017 and 2019 World Championships have been referred to the IAAF ethics commission.
However, he refused to reveal the names of the IAAF figures who had told him of rumours of brown envelopes full of cash being handed out just before the vote for the 2017 World Championships, which London won.
Warner said: "I have had a number of discussions with the IAAF and they have told me the 2017 and 2019 bids by Doha have been referred to their ethics commission."
Asked if IAAF president Lord Coe was one of those who had told him of the rumours, Warner replied: "It could have been any number of people."
Coe was a senior member of London's bid team before succeeding Lamine Diack as IAAF president in August last year.
Leaked emails from Diack's son, Papa Massata Diack, have revealed he appeared to request $5m from Doha while it was bidding against London.
Papa Massata Diack is wanted on corruption charges by Interpol,
French prosecutors are also looking into the awarding of all world championships from 2009 to 2022 as part of their IAAF corruption inquiry.
The Qatari athletics federation has always denied any wrongdoing.
The SNP leader began the interview by saying she was excited and scared to be on the show, especially as its website had billed her as a comedian.
She said: "You've raised all these expectations that I'm going to be funny. I'm a politician and as you know politicians are very rarely funny."
However, the first minister traded banter with the veteran comedian in an interview that touched on subjects such as the Edinburgh Fringe, Twitter, oil and haggis.
Stewart explained to the US audience that the SNP had won an "unprecedented" 56 out of 59 seats in Scotland at the general election.
Nicola Sturgeon joked: "I have ordered an inquiry into why the SNP did not win the other three. It's reporting directly to me."
Stewart said: "What do you think you are, Saddam Hussein? You get 99%? 56 out of 59 is pretty good."
Sturgeon said: "Always aim for more."
Having settled Ms Sturgeon, the host went straight for the big question he needed to address.
He asked: "You have pledged for Scotland greater self-determination, more financial independence, but now after the election that has crashed head-on with the reality that Westminster still controls the purse strings and still believes in austerity. My question to you is this first minister. What is haggis? Why would anyone eat that?
Ms Sturgeon said haggis was delicious.
"It is spicy, it is tasty, it is absolutely delicious and you get vegetarian haggis as well. So another reason to come to Edinburgh."
Stewart told the first minister that the US went through a similar process to get away from the UK.
Ms Sturgeon said: "You were a bit more successful, although I don't think we'll try to do it your way."
Jon Stewart said: "Let me tell you what they hate. They hate when you throw their stuff into the water."
"That's where we went wrong," Ms Sturgeon said.
Jon Stewart asked where the money would come from if Scotland were to become independent.
Ms Sturgeon said: "We've got a brilliant economy. We are an oil producing country."
Stewart replied: "You have oil? May we invade you?
Addressing the audience, Ms Sturgeon gave the host a taste of his own medicine when she said: "This is progress. You just heard there, Jon, presumably on behalf of the United States, asking for permission to invade an oil-producing country. It doesn't usually work that way."
The US chat show host asked the first minister how bad the divide got in Scotland over the independence referendum.
He said: "I know it was bad on Twitter. Have you thought of seceding from Twitter?"
Ms Sturgeon replied: "I think about seceding from Twitter every day.
She added: "You know what? We hurl insults at each other on Twitter occasionally but the independence referendum was entirely democratic. It was peaceful and it has had an amazing legacy in Scotland.
"In Scotland now, we are really interested in politics. Imagine that. People actually want to vote in elections. They want to get involved. They want to get their politicians on the spot and make sure they deliver for them. That's a fantastic thing. Democracy has really been strengthened by it."
Jon Stewart said: "Our democracy here is so strong that we don't even need to pay attention to it."
Kalyani Uthaman, 59, from India had been on holiday in Scotland in August 2012 when she was severely scalded at the Premier Inn in Newcraighall.
Mrs Uthaman sustained 25% burns to her body and died of multiple organ failure.
Her family is seeking more than £1m from Premier Inn's owners.
On 4 August 2012, Mrs Uthaman went for a shower, but minutes later her daughter-in-law found her lying slumped and scalded.
She was treated in intensive care for six weeks but died of multiple organ failure, which doctors said was caused by her burns.
Sundar Vadivel Uthaman, 44, her son, from Bangalore, India, was also on holiday with her.
He said: "It is an irreparable loss given the love and affection she had for us and we had for her.
"It was something none of us expected would ever happen in a very safe country like the UK.
"It's been very, very difficult. What my mother had to go through is very hurtful and I don't think anyone from the hotel even bothered to call us to check about her state or if we need any help, because we are not from the UK and we are not locals of Scotland."
Glen Millar, of Thompsons Solicitors, said their case centres on the claim thermostatic valves, which prevent scalding, should have been fitted.
He said: "While the regulations say [the valves] only need to be installed in buildings constructed after 2006, we believe there is a case in common law that the hotel failed to properly care for Mrs Uthaman."
Whitbread plc, which owns the Premier Inn chain, said: ''Our thoughts are with the family of Ms Uthaman during what must have been, and which must remain, an extremely difficult period for them.
"We have worked closely with and supported the relevant authorities with their enquiries around this case. As civil proceedings are active we unfortunately cannot comment further.''
The Uthaman family, and their lawyer, said they were unable to understand why the Crown Office decided not to hold a fatal accident inquiry into the death so lessons could be learned to prevent similar future accidents.
The Crown Office said it was a tragic case, which was fully investigated.
The case for damages is due to have its first call in court later this month.
The green belt site on the west side of Mill Lane at Bathampton Meadows was chosen by Bath and North East Somerset Council (Banes), on Wednesday night.
It was selected over neighbouring council-owned land, because the 800-car site would be less visible and have potential for a future rail link.
But landowner Steve Horler said there was "absolutely no way" he would sell.
The National Trust has also opposed the plans saying they would "cause significant harm" and "scar the landscape for many years into the future".
The site, according to Banes, was not only chosen because it was close to the city centre but was "well-located for cars coming from the A4, A46 and A363".
But Mr Horler, who runs a holiday let business on his farm, said he "doesn't want to see this beautiful part of Bath destroyed"
"I've got a really successful business in Bathampton Meadows," he said.
"Thousands of people come to enjoy this area every year. They want me to sell it but there's absolutely no way I'm going to."
Tim Warren, leader of the council, insists the city is "at capacity" and the council has to "plan for the future".
"In Bath we're talking about producing 11,000 jobs and these people have to get to work - get in and out - and the city's full up," he said.
The National Trust added it was aware of the impact of traffic and pollution within the city itself but was concerned this development would harm views from nearby Solsbury Hill which it cares for.
"Whether for 800 or 1,200 cars, it is clear that this scale of development would scar the landscape for many years into the future and would mar the wonderful views experienced from Solsbury Hill, which is part of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty," a spokesman said.
The application will go to planning for further consideration.
The Briton, 37, will make a decision on his future in June after being stripped of the WBA super-middleweight belt for not defending his title.
Froch told BBC Radio 5 live: "I need the motivation, I need the fear factor and Golovkin brings that.
"If I decide to fight again, Golovkin's an opponent I'd definitely like."
He added: "But it's a very big 'if' because one of my options is to retire."
Froch, who has already given up his IBF belt, has not fought since defeating George Groves at Wembley nearly a year ago.
A clash with Julio Chavez Jr in Las Vegas in March fell through because of the Nottingham fighter's elbow injury.
"I still love boxing, that's the problem, and at 37 I know I can still do it," said Froch. "I don't want to look back at 43 and say 'why didn't I take that one last fight?'
"I can safely say in maybe the first week of June I will be making an announcement."
Kazakhstan's Golovkin, 33, is unbeaten in 33 professional fights, including 30 knockouts.
Froch's promoter Eddie Hearn told the Daily Mail: "We have already opened negotiations with Golovkin's people and they are very keen.
"I only want Carl to take it if he's genuinely motivated because it is a high-risk fight."
Froch has already confirmed he is not interested in fighting the winner of Saturday's IBF super-middleweight title fight between Britain's James DeGale and Andre Dirrell in Boston.
Listen to the full interview with Carl Froch on BBC Radio 5 live Saturday Breakfast from 06:00 BST.
They allege they were also made to take tests for HIV and hepatitis following their arrest in February 2015 on suspicion of homosexual activity.

UN experts have also described anal examinations to determine sexuality as "medically worthless".

She added: "He is in a stable condition and is receiving the very best care."
Guernsey-based Madmax is a specialist engineering team focusing on extreme motor bikes, quad bike and land speed racing
It comes a day after clashes broke out at a rally in support of Qadri, who was executed last month for the 2011 murder of reformist politician Salman Taseer.
There were new clashes on Monday as police made a number of arrests and cleared some areas of protesters.
Qadri killed Mr Taseer over his opposition to strict blasphemy laws.
His supporters say he is a hero and should be considered a martyr.
Critics say the blasphemy laws, which allow the death penalty to be imposed in some cases, are often misused to oppress religious minorities.
The protest was not given much prominence in local media, which is increasingly under official pressure to tone down coverage of events that might encourage unrest.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says protests are now concentrated in the so-called Red Zone of the capital, home to parliament and many government buildings.
Reports put the number of demonstrators at several thousand.
Sunday's unrest involved an estimated 25,000 people. Police fired tear gas at protesters who threw stones, damaged property and started fires in the street.
Work on four routes serving Bristol, Oxford and Berkshire is now on hold.
Rail minister Paul Maynard said it would free up money to "deliver additional benefits to passengers" and added Wales would not suffer delays.
"My focus is to ensure that we deliver electrification to Cardiff on time," he said of the £2.8bn modernisation plan.
Responding to a question from Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan during a Commons rail debate, Mr Maynard said he wanted to make sure "that passengers in south Wales benefit from that electrification to the fullest degree possible".
Network Rail also gave assurances on completion of electrification between London and south Wales.
Wales route managing director Andy Thomas said: "We are working to build a bigger, better railway for Wales, with electrification of the mainline to Cardiff expected by 2019 as part of our Railway Upgrade Plan.
"Electrification between Cardiff and Swansea is planned to be completed by 2024, with dates and costs to be confirmed.
"However, passengers in Wales and across the borders will see the benefits far sooner with the introduction of new Intercity Express Trains between London and Swansea from summer 2017."
Meanwhile Cardiff North Conservative MP Craig Williams has welcomed additional assurances from Mr Maynard about improvements to Cardiff Central station.
The ability of the Welsh capital's main transport hub to handle big events has been questioned following long queues and delays during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
"In addition to improving the rail network it will complete Cardiff's Central Square and strengthen the transport interchange for our city," Mr Williams said, leading the debate on Tuesday.
"The huge projected increase in passengers is good news but Cardiff needs a redeveloped station to cater for them".
About 700 flats will be built, as well as a restaurant and cafe, on the site of Mariner Street car park.
This would be in addition to the £500m regeneration announced last month.
Swansea council leader Rob Stewart said: "This project will be a major step forward for the area's regeneration, building on all the great work that's already been done."
The council has agreed to sell its portion of the site to development company RDE Silex and agreements have also been reached with two landowners.
Network Rail has agreed to move the top deck of the High Street multi-storey car park.
A planning application could be submitted in March and, if approved, construction could start in the autumn with the project finished by summer 2018.
Health officials have said Ruabon Medical Centre, which has more than 9,000 patients, will not close and there is no need for patients to register elsewhere.
It follows similar decisions by surgeries in Denbighshire, Conwy and elsewhere in Wrexham.
The contract will end on 31 March.
A Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board spokesman said: "This is a high performing practice, which is very popular and well thought of by patients, and the GPs can take pride in their ability to sustain a high level of service.
"However, they have not been successful in recruiting doctors to replace two full time partners who left the practice earlier this year."
Mohammed Saleem, 82, was stabbed on his way home from a Birmingham mosque in 2013. Ukrainian Pavlo Lapshyn admitted killing him because he was not white.
The victim's daughter, Maz Saleem, said she and her mother were both recently racially abused and her nieces, aged 11 and 13, were insulted and spat at.
She said the hostility was frightening, especially after her father's death.
The 38-year-old said the family was fearful because of a recent rise in hate crime.
Her mother, who was racially abused by a passenger on a bus, was now too scared to leave her house, she said.
"My mum wears the hijab and abaya (long coat) and [the passenger] started saying that we should 'go back to our own country' and, 'look at what she's wearing'."
Ms Saleem said she was targeted by a woman on the London Underground as she tried to help a Muslim woman in Arabic dress, who was being abused by a passenger.
"I felt extremely disappointed that someone who doesn't know the person is judging them for the way they look, just because they look Muslim," she said.
The abuse her nieces received led to the family contacting local police.
"A lorry driver hurled racist, Islamophobic abuse at them because they were wearing hijabs.
"I don't like using the word, but he called them [the racist word] 'Paki' and then spat at them."
The incident was reported to Greater Manchester Police, but she said no further action was taken because they could not trace the number plate of the vehicle.
Ms Saleem said her family was still coming to terms with what happened to her father who was killed "simply because he was brown and dressed like a Muslim".
"The devastation of the death of our father is still overwhelming. Even today, it's hard for us to comprehend how someone could have such hatred for an 82-year-old man," she said.
Ukrainian student Lapshyn was sentenced to a minimum of 40 years for murder and terrorism related offences.

Manchester Crown Court heard Medi Abalimba went on a £20,000 shopping spree at Selfridges, stayed at top hotels and even hired a helicopter.
The player, who once commanded a fee of more than £1m but whose career failed to progress, masqueraded as France youth international Gael Kakuta.
Medi Abalimba, 25, admitted multiple frauds and was sentenced to four years.
Abalimba, of Burton Street, London, phoned venues claiming to be the agent of Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta before turning up posing as the player.
The court was told he would ring a venue advising of the imminent arrival of an elite sport star, requesting discretion and paying for goods with stolen credit card details.
Abalimba obtained the details by photographing American Express cards he found in lockers he broke into using a master key at a gym in Camden, north London.
In June 2014, he visited a Manchester nightclub and ordered £2,600 worth of champagne while claiming he left his wallet in a limousine.
He pre-paid more than £2,000 using stolen credit card details telling staff he would return next day, which he did, ordering more champagne and leaving in a chauffeur-driven Bentley GT.
In July, he ordered more than £20,000 worth of clothes in Selfridges in the Trafford Centre, even displaying his football skills while shopping - but store detectives were suspicious.
His crime spree saw him stay at expensive hotels, dine at fine restaurants and, on one occasion, he even took four women from Manchester to London in a helicopter.
Greater Manchester Police tracked him down to an £800-a-night rented mansion in Berkshire.
Sgt Adam Cronshaw of GMP, said Abalimba was "charming and charismatic" and could call on his previous football experience and "some resemblance to the real Gael Kakuta to deceive his victims".
He added: "Abalimba told us that many of his victims treated him so differently because they thought he was a celebrity footballer."
The player had stints with Derby County, Oldham Athletic, Southend United, Fulham and Crystal Palace and, as a youngster, had trials with Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool.
He admitted 12 offences of fraud and dishonesty, in London, West Yorkshire, Manchester and Derby and asked for 19 offences to be considered.
Speaking in mitigation, his barrister Vic Wozny said Abalimba had had a "rough upbringing" and that he "ran with the wrong crowd" after coming to London at the age of five.
He said his footballing success had come with a lot of "hangers on", who Abalimba would spend his wages on.
When Abalimba "started to slide and money dried up, my client could not accept that he did not continue to lead the high life", he said.
"The offences started to happen. Thereafter my client's difficulties snowballed."
Gael Kakuta, 23, joined Spanish team Rayo Vallecano on loan for the 2014-15 season.
Lesnar, 39, tested positive for an unnamed substance in an in-competition sample after his UFC 200 heavyweight victory over Mark Hunt on 9 July.
The same substance was found in an out-of-competition sample from 28 June.
A UFC statement said the United States Anti-Doping Agency would "handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case".
UFC anti-doping policy states that a legal review process is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed.
Lesnar's victory over Hunt at UFC 200 in his first MMA fight in four years secured him a UFC record purse of $2.5m (£1.9m).
Kyle Wootton opened the scoring in the 16th minute with his first goal for the club since his loan switch from Scunthorpe and Stephen Brogan made it two with a penalty in the 38th minute after his shot had been handled.
Half-time substitute Jack Paxman halved the deficit on the hour mark.
But the visitors held out to build on their 1-0 victory over Gateshead last time out and win for only the sixth time in the league this season, moving to within four points of their opponents in the process.

Officers moved into Gezi Park in Taksim Square, firing water cannon and tear gas. Several people were hurt, some of them allegedly by rubber bullets.
There were also reports of continuing stand-offs in other parts of Istanbul.
The police operation came hours after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for an end to the occupation.
He said Taksim Square had to be "evacuated" ahead of a rally planned by his Justice and Development (AK) Party on Sunday.
The Confederation of Public Workers' Unions (KESK) has said it will call a nationwide strike on Monday, while another union grouping is deciding whether to join the action.
What began as a protest against plans to redevelop Gezi Park last month has evolved into wider anti-government unrest.
Demonstrators had vowed to occupy the park until their demands were met.

Q&A: Protests in Turkey
Why is Gezi Park so important?
Turkey sails further into dangerous waters
However, it took riot police less than half an hour on Saturday evening to bring an end to the 18-day occupation.
The BBC's James Reynolds, who was at the park, says the officers advanced slowly, wearing gas masks and carrying riot shields, amid a cloud of white tear gas.
Most protesters chose to leave to avoid getting hurt. Some regrouped in nearby streets, but police fired more tear gas in an effort to disperse them.
"We tried to flee and the police pursued us. It was like war," Claudia Roth, the co-chair of Germany's Greens party who was in the park, told the Reuters news agency.
After the park was cleared of people, police tore down the colourful tents and banners.
Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu described the operation as "extremely smooth" and said 29 people had been lightly injured.
"We will continue our work to constitute a peaceful environment in the next few hours," he added.
Tayfun Kahraman, a member of the Taksim Solidarity umbrella group of protest movements, said a number of demonstrators had been hit by rubber bullets.
"Let them keep the park, we don't care any more. Let it all be theirs. This crackdown has to stop. The people are in a terrible state,'' he told the Associated Press.
Earlier on Saturday, Mr Erdogan told tens of thousands of AK supporters in Ankara: "If Taksim Square is not evacuated, this country's security forces will know how to evacuate it.
"Staying there [in Gezi Park] makes no sense anymore as the matter is now in the hands of the courts. Nobody can intimidate us. We take no orders or instruction from anyone but God."
He also dismissed the wave of demonstrations as part of an organised plot against him.
Our correspondent says the prime minister has now won back the ground that he lost to protesters two weeks ago.
But it is not yet clear which side has won the larger fight for the country's support, our correspondent adds.
On 31 May, a crackdown on environmentalists in Gezi Park provoked protests across Turkey against the police and Mr Erdogan's government.
On Saturday, the protesters vowed to continue occupying Gezi Park despite a promise by Mr Erdogan to halt the development plan for the park until a court ruling on the issue.
Last month, an Istanbul court issued an initial injunction against the plan to cut down trees in the park to make way for a shopping centre and replica 18th-Century military barracks. The government has appealed against the ruling.
Mr Erdogan's offer was presented as a major concession. But after discussions in Gezi Park on Friday night, the protesters said their movement was more than just a conservation protest and vowed to stay on.
Five people have died and thousands have been injured since the protests began.
Demonstrators have accused Mr Erdogan's government of becoming increasingly authoritarian and of trying to impose conservative Islamic values on a secular state.
The police crackdown on protesters in Istanbul, Ankara, and other towns and cities has drawn international concern, especially from Europe.
The 26-year-old will join the Championship side as a free agent on a three-year deal on 1 July.
Lowe previously worked with Terriers boss David Wagner when the pair were at Borussia Dortmund.
"He is also a great character; a leader in the dressing room, who has captained the team," 44-year-old Wagner told the club website.
Organisers Glasgow 2014 said the Sierra Leone chef de mission knows where Mohamed Tholley is.
On Friday it emerged that athletes from the country were considering extending their stay amid fears over the Ebola virus outbreak in west Africa.
Two Sierra Leone athletes at the Games have been tested and cleared for Ebola.
Ebola has caused more than 700 deaths since February in an outbreak affecting four west African countries.
Mohamed Tholley had failed show to up for the men's time trial cycling on Thursday.
Glasgow 2014 have now said the Sierra Leone chef de mission knows where the "missing cyclist" is and stressed he was not missing.
Unisa Deen Kargbo said that legally Tholley could be in the country until September but he had not discussed leaving the village with anyone in the camp.
Sierra Leone's Samuel Morris and Moses Sesay have been tested for Ebola and cleared by doctors in Glasgow.
Sesay, 32, was admitted to a Glasgow hospital last week after feeling unwell and doctors tested him for various conditions, including Ebola.
The cyclist was given the all-clear and released from hospital in time to compete in the men's individual time trial at the Games on Thursday.
It later emerged that table tennis player Morris was also tested in Glasgow and given the all-clear.
Morris, 34, said he developed a fever two days after arriving at the athletes' village.
He said: "They took me to the general hospital. They tested me for Ebola.
"I thought it was ordinary malaria diagnosis. But they didn't say that. They thought it was just a change of weather."
Tholley's coach Winston Crowther said the cyclist may have had concerns over the Ebola outbreak, but did not rule out other reasons for him leaving the team camp, including economic factors.
On the issue of the team returning to Sierra Leone, Unisa Deen Kargbo said: "Athletes have come to me and said they don't want to return because of the Ebola situation.
"There have been discussions with back home to see what the final decision will be on that. I have a mandate to return the athletes on 5 August and that's what I'm working towards now."
Asked if the athletes could stay on in the UK, he said: "The UK government will have to decide if that's an option, but I don't know."
The athletes' village is due to close on Wednesday and is being decommissioned on Thursday and Glasgow 2014 said it would become a "building site" within a matter of hours.
Sierra Leone has declared a public health emergency after more than 200 people died from the Ebola virus.
The outbreak - the world's deadliest to date - was first reported in Guinea in February.
It then spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone, and a person who travelled from Liberia to Nigeria died of the virus shortly after arriving in Lagos last week.
Ebola kills up to 90% of those infected but patients have a better chance of survival if they receive early treatment.
The footage appears to have been recorded on Wednesday.
The incident is believed to be in connection with the recent death of veteran republican Peggy O'Hara.
Police say enquiries are ongoing.
East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell condemned the show of strength.
"Police must investigate the events and of course the funeral is yet to come," he said.
"Police need to be prepared for what might happen at the funeral."
Derry and Strabane independent republican councillor Gary Donnelly was there when the shots were fired.
"A number of armed and masked men paid tribute to Peggy by firing shots over her coffin," he said.
"They were fired into the air and there was nothing hostile about it."
A small group was protesting at the embassy against the Shia movement and its backer, Iran, over their involvement in Syria.
It is not yet known who killed the protester.
Last week Hezbollah fighters helped retake the town of Qusair from rebels.
Clashes broke out on Sunday between supporters and opponents of Hezbollah outside the Iranian embassy, on the outskirts of Beirut, a Lebanese army spokesman was quoted by news agency AFP as saying.
The young man was injured in the fighting and later died of his wounds, the army reportedly said.
Several other people were injured when Hezbollah partisans attacked the demonstrators, the spokesman told AFP.
The man killed was identified by Beirut media as Hisham Salman, head of the student section of the Lebanese Option party, a small opposition group.
The party's leader, like Hezbollah, is from the Shia community, however it strongly opposes Hezbollah's involvement in Syria.
The protesters outside the Iranian embassy in the Bir Hassan neighbourhood made demands for Hezbollah to leave Syria.
"Lebanon has never been so fragile. They are transferring the Syrian conflict into Lebanon. The Lebanese army should deploy on the border to stop Hezbollah from entering Syria," protest organiser Charles Jabbour told AFP news agency.
The incident underlines how deeply divisive the Syrian issue is in Lebanon and strengthens fears of further repercussions, BBC Beirut correspondent Jim Muir reports.
Hezbollah - or the Party of God - is a political and military organisation in Lebanon made up mainly of Shia Muslims.
It emerged with financial backing from Iran in the early 1980s and has always been a close ally of Syria.
On Thursday, the White House called on both Iran and Hezbollah to withdraw fighters from Syria, where they have been helping government troops, particularly in the western town of Qusair, close to the border with Lebanon.
"It is clear that the regime is unable to contest the opposition's control of a place like Qusair on their own, and that is why they are dependent on Hezbollah and Iran to do their work for them," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese Red Cross says nearly 90 Syrian rebel fighters have been taken to hospitals in Lebanon after being wounded in the battle for Qusair.
The strategic town, which is a major supply route for both rebel and pro-Assad fighters, was recaptured by government troops on Wednesday after weeks of fierce fighting.
Recent developments on the ground may affect efforts to convene a forthcoming international peace conference, the Syrian opposition says.
"What is happening in Syria today completely closes the doors on any discussions about international conferences and political initiatives," the interim head of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, George Sabra, told reporters on Saturday.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague also said on Sunday that the government's latest gains may reduce the chances of success at the peace summit due to take place in Geneva.
The 23-year-old from Hamilton was competing in her first tournament since knee surgery after the Rio Olympics.
"I'm really glad that 17 weeks after my operation and here I am flying around the court as usual," she said in Perth.
Gilmour defeated Edinburgh's Julie MacPherson 21-11 21-7 on Sunday to make it six singles titles on the trot.
And, with Kinross's Patrick MacHugh, she went on to win the mixed doubles, defeating MacPherson and Martin Campbell 23-21 21-16.
In doing so, Gilmour became the first player since Rita Yuan Gao 15 years ago to hold Scottish titles in three different events, her tally standing at six singles, four women's doubles and one mixed.
"It's not just a starter tournament for me," said Gilmour on her return to competitive action, watched by new Badminton Scotland head coach Tat Meng Wong.
"It's one I want to go out and win and keep on winning. It was really important for me to be fit for this one."
MacPherson was runner-up in three finals last year but she finally broke her title duck when she and Eleanor O'Donnell won the women's doubles with a 21-19 19-21 21-16 victory over top seeds Rebekka Findlay and Caitlin Pringle in a 62-minute match.
Glasgow's Kieran Merrilees made it five men's singles titles when he defeated defending champion Matthew Carder 21-8 21-13 in another clash of the top two seeds.
Glasgow's Grimley twins had been hoping for an early birthday present by reaching the men's doubles final. But Christopher and Matthew, who are 17 on Monday, fell in a close semi-final, beaten by top seeds Adam Hall and Alex Dunn 21-11 23-21.
But Hall could not repeat last year's victory with Robert Blair as 2015 champions and 2016 runners-up Campbell and local favourite MacHugh reclaimed the crown 21-17 21-17.

Operation Stack is when lorries park on the M20 during cross-Channel disruption, and has been used in recent weeks because of French strike action.
Damian Collins, MP for Folkestone and Hythe, said the problem was too big for Kent authorities to deal with.
Kent MPs met Home Secretary Theresa May on Tuesday. The government has not commented to the BBC.
Mr Collins said there would be further talks with Kent County Council on Friday.
He said: "We can create solutions in Kent to provide resilience to provide extra lorry parking.
"That will cope with the minor incidents of Operation Stack and we can deal with that.
"But major delays of several days or a week or more - that requires the government to step in."
He said Theresa May absolutely understood the seriousness of the problem.
Faversham and Mid Kent MP Helen Whately said proposals discussed with the Home Secretary included lorry parks, making more use of service stations, opening up ferry routes to Dunkirk, and alerting hauliers about disruption before they reached Kent.
She said there was a risk of further major disruption this summer and MPs needed to keep working on the problem while parliament was in recess.
Stack was brought in again on Wednesday because of a heavy volume of traffic heading towards Dover port and Eurotunnel at Folkestone.
Eurotunnel has called on the French and British governments to help pay the cost of additional security as migrants try to smuggle themselves to the UK.
It has asked for ??6.8m, saying it had spent ??9.1m on security measures in the first six months of this year.
The UK has already agreed to pay Eurotunnel ??3.3m.
Jenny Swift, 49, was found unresponsive at HMP Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on 30 December and later pronounced dead.
Ms Swift, from Seaforth in Sefton, Merseyside, was remanded in custody after a man was stabbed in November and later died.
An unnamed friend of hers said she had asked to be put into a women's prison, the Sheffield Star reported.
Updates on this story and more from around South Yorkshire
Ms Swift was charged with attempted murder and criminal damage after an assault on Surrey Street in Balby, Doncaster, on 15 November.
Eric Flanagan, 26, was found with multiple stab wounds and died a month later.
BBC Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said it was understood Ms Swift was being monitored in prison due to fears she might self-harm.
She had been taking non-prescription hormone drugs to help her transition to a woman, but the medication was stopped when she entered custody, he added.
Police were in the process of consulting with the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to a possible change to the attempted murder charge.
The Prison Service said Ms Swift, who was charged under the name Jonathan Swift, was found at 00:40 GMT with prison staff and paramedics attempting CPR. She was declared dead at 01:10.
An independent investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will now take place, a spokesperson added.
Det Ch Insp Vicky Short, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "On Friday 30 December, we were made aware that the person charged in this investigation had died.
"However, the inquiry into Mr Flanagan's death remains ongoing at this time and his family continue to be supported by officers."
HMP Doncaster is a category B prison with more than 900 inmates, and has been operated by Serco since 2003.
In 2015, a government review of the handling of transgender prisoners in England and Wales was ordered by then-Justice Secretary Michael Gove.
It followed the deaths of transgender women Vikki Thompson and Joanne Latham, who were being held in all-male prisons.
Published in November, the review revealed that one in four prisons in England and Wales holds at least one transgender inmate.
The review said: "It is apparent that the treatment of transgender people in courts, probation and prison services has not kept pace with the development of a more general understanding of the issues surrounding gender in society."
Northampton Town FC wants permission to increase seating at Sixfields Stadium from 7,653 up to 10,000.
A supermarket, shops and 225 homes are planned for a former landfill site.
Chairman David Cardoza said the aim was to help the club to be self-sufficient, and the project would be partly funded by a £12m borough council loan.
Mr Cardoza has in the past outlined his ambition to move the Cobblers up the leagues and bring in bigger crowds.
Although the application for outline planning permission states a 10,000 seat capacity Sixfields is likely to only build 8,500.
Mr Cardoza said in June there was no point putting in more seats "if the club wasn't able to generate the income to deliver a team capable of filling them".
"We have plans where we can increase the capacity again if and when we are as successful, as we all hope we will be."
Opposition to the Sixfields development is expected from local residents concerned about traffic problems.
Northampton and Rugby Athletics Club, based at Sixfields, is moving to Moulton College where an £18m project is under way to create new sporting facilities.
The bus "complete with UK adverts" was described as looking a "little lost in San Fran" by surprised residents.
City resident Alan Milford said: "It drove past and I snapped it as it was so out of place."
Andrew Wickham, from the UK bus operator, said it was one of a fleet of double-deckers shipped to the States about a year ago.
Shots of the "random English" double-decker struggling through traffic in San Francisco first started appearing on social media in October.
Former BBC Radio Five Live presenter Caroline Feraday, who spotted it in the city centre, posted a shot with the tweet: "I can't help but think this Wiltshire & Dorset school bus is a little lost".
While Dan Cassell said he was "speechless" when he saw it go by.
He added: "It even said it was going to Christchurch!"
Mr Wickham insisted it was "not one of their longer services" but actually part of a fleet of double-deckers shipped to the United States about a year ago.
"The buses had reached the end of their lives and they [Americans] love English double-decker buses," he said.
"They were bought by the British Bus Company in San Diego and were shipped across to Florida and then driven across the States.
"It's pretty unusual to ship old double-decker buses to the US and they would have had well over a million miles on the clock."
But Fred Corlett, from the British Bus Company, said all five double-deckers which took on the "3,000 mile journey across the USA" had "made it".
"The one in San Francisco is operated by San Francisco Deluxe Tours and we have two in San Diego that are also still operating in Wilts & Dorset Livery," he said.
"The vehicles are so well maintained and presented - we have reserved the next two buses to be retired this summer."
Krynkl on Shalesmoor, near Kelham Island, in Sheffield is to see a three and four-storey building made entirely of steel containers stacked together.
It would be the city's first such building, said Sheffield City Council.
Work on the vacant site is to be completed by January, said the developers.
The steel containers would be "predominantly dark grey" and there were no sensitive historic buildings nearby, said the report to the council's planning and highway committee.
The site is in a mixed residential and commercial area on the inner ring road and previously housed a conservatory sales business.
Wendy Thompson, 53, from Lincolnshire, had been trying to wish a friend happy birthday on the social media platform using her mobile phone.
Rodney Lewis, 84, was killed in the crash on London's North Circular Road on 3 February last year.
Thompson pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving.
Mr Lewis and his wife Marlene, 77, from Enfield, had stopped to help their 21-year-old grandson after his Ford Fiesta broke down and were trying to call a recovery vehicle when Thompson's car ploughed into the back of them.
Mr Lewis died from his injuries while Mrs Lewis suffered a shattered pelvis and broken hip, the Old Bailey heard.
Thompson told a lorry driver who had stopped nearby: "I was trying to put my charger in my phone, I just didn't see him," the court was told.
She later told police it was her friend's birthday and she had been trying to send a message on Facebook.
When she realised the message had not been sent, she tried again. Thompson admitted the mobile phone had been in her hand at the time of the crash.
An investigator found Thompson, from Barnetby, would have had enough time to see the stationary vehicle and avoid the crash if she had not been distracted.
Tahir Khan QC, defending, said Thompson admitted her responsibility and would carry the guilt "for the rest of her life".
Thompson was sentenced to two years and three months in prison for causing death by dangerous driving and 15 months for causing serious injury by dangerous driving, to run concurrently.
She was disqualified from driving for 10 years.
Carter was sent clear on goal and slotted past goalkeeper Allan Fleming.
Goalkeeper William Muir kept Queen's Park's lead intact when he kept out Robert Linn's effort.
Arbroath's chances of finding an equaliser were dented when Jamie Henry's foul on Sean Burns earned him a second booking.
The 21-year-old recently returned to United after making 29 appearances on loan at League One club Barnsley.
Pearson also featured in 22 games in a loan spell with the Tykes last season.
"We see him as energetic, box-to-box, likes a tackle and coming from Manchester United he is decent on the ball," manager Simon Grayson said.
"He's at the right age, wants to go and make a good career in the game and we are delighted that we have been backed by the owner to spend the money to bring Ben here."
Pearson could make his debut for Preston when they travel to Bristol City on Tuesday.

The 1-0 win over Crystal Palace saw them rise to 17th, and they have now picked up eight points from 12.
"We must keep the momentum," said manager Rafael Benitez, with a trip to relegated Aston Villa next week.
Sunderland are a point behind after a 1-1 draw at Stoke and Norwich are two adrift after their 1-0 loss at Arsenal.
Both the Black Cats and the Canaries have a game in hand on Newcastle.
Could the appointment of Benitez prove to be owner Mike Ashley's greatest signing since he took control of Newcastle in 2007?
With £100m the reward for Premier League status next season, Ashley took the plunge and sacked Steve McClaren in March with the team in 19th position.
It took four matches for the former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss to get his first win, but now it is no defeats in the past four.
Andros Townsend scored a brilliant winner against Palace on Saturday, but Benitez also had keeper Karl Darlow to thank for saving Yohan Cabaye's second-half penalty.
"The win could be important for us," said Benitez. "I'm sure it's important for the fans and everyone now when you see the table. But we still have to keep going.
"We know that we have to approach the next game against Aston Villa like another final, and that's it. We cannot look too much at the table - we just have to be sure that the next game, we will be ready."

Sam Allardyce's Sunderland side required Jermain Defoe's stoppage-time penalty to rescue a point at Stoke.
The Wearsiders have now drawn their last two games and have only won one match in the past nine.
Commenting on Newcastle's win, Allardyce said: "Those things are not in our control.
"What's in our control is making sure that we try and win next week [against Chelsea] and then make the game in hand really count against Everton.
"That's our big task in the next two games. If we can hold our nerve, we have the capabilities to see if we can try and do the escape that this club has done for the last two or three years."

Alex Neil's Norwich have stuttered in recent weeks.
They have now lost their past three Premier League games, the latest loss coming at Arsenal where the Gunners' Danny Welbeck scored the only goal as a second-half substitute.
Having hovered just above the relegation zone over the past four weeks, they are now down to 19th.
"The last thing you can do down in the dogfight is feel sorry for yourselves," said the Canaries' Scottish manager.
"We didn't get what we deserved at Arsenal. We need three displays like that in the next three games. If you start worrying about the maths and what other people are doing then it'll drive you crazy."
He added: "Newcastle are a different kettle of fish because they've only two games left but I think it's unlikely Sunderland will win their three remaining games.
"We just have to try and take as many points as we can." | Newcastle moved out of the bottom three for the first time since 1 February, as rivals Sunderland and Norwich slipped up in the fight for survival. | 36,180,339 | 731 | 33 | false |
And so it was when Australian Prime Minster Malcolm Turnbull gave A$5 (£3) to a beggar on Melbourne's streets.
On his way to give a major economic speech on Thursday, Mr Turnbull stopped to shake the man's hand and slip some money into his coffee cup.
But this minor act of generosity quickly turned into a major talking point on social media, where people were keen to criticise the PM from multiple angles.
Some saw Mr Turnbull as stingy. He is a wealthy man and the five-dollar note was plucked from a substantial wad of cash. Australia's version of the Daily Mail described him as "Miserly Mal".
But on the other hand, he was also criticised for giving money at all. Melbourne's Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said giving to beggars helped feed drug habits and entrench poverty, and suggested Mr Turnbull give to a charity instead.
Still more people suggested that the PM was cynically playing up his generosity for the cameras.
But he found some support, too. "You see a man who can give more. I see a man who gave," wrote one Twitter user.
Mr Turnbull, a wealthy former investment banker, has faced a series of debacles since he retained power in Australia's tightly fought July election.
He responded to the beggar backlash on Friday.
"I felt sorry for the guy," he told Melbourne radio station 3AW.
"It was a human reaction and I'm sorry if that has disappointed some people."
He is not the first politician to pay a price for an what might ordinarily pass as a simple act of generosity.
Former Labour leader Ed Miliband was spotted in 2014 giving a homeless woman 2p and two years later was filmed awkwardly looking for an ATM to give a homeless man £10.
A man in his 20 died on Tuesday night, bringing the number of fatalities this month linked to the illegal substance to eight.
The drug consists of dried plants sprayed with synthetic drugs - it triggers effects similar to cannabis but is more powerful and dangerous.
Synthetic cannabis has already caused huge concerns in the US and Europe.
In each of the eight deaths this month, the victim was thought to have used the drug before dying or was found with the drug on them.
The actual substance in the drug responsible for the deaths is not yet known.
All eight deaths have occurred in Auckland and authorities say there is a much higher number of non-fatal cases where people had to be taken to hospital.
Earlier this month, the Auckland City District Police issued a warning on Facebook over the drug use and the apparent link to the rising number of victims.
"This is not an issue unique to Auckland," the statement warned. "Police are also concerned at the impact of synthetic cannabis in other communities in New Zealand."
Auckland police also took the rare step of releasing CCTV footage of a man violently ill and barely able to stand after smoking synthetic cannabis.
"We have grave concerns as users don't know what poisonous chemicals they are potentially putting into their bodies when they're smoking this drug," Det Insp Lendrum said.
Cannabis-simulating substances - or synthetic cannabinoids - were developed more than 20 years ago in the US for testing on animals as part of a brain research programme.
But in the last decade or so they've become widely available to the public.
Synthetic cannabis was briefly legal in New Zealand but was banned in 2014.
In the UK, synthetic cannabis was also temporarily legal, being sold under a variety of names most prominently Spice and Black Mamba.
The drugs were banned in 2016 but continue to cause widespread problems in the country.
Synthetic cannabis has also been banned in the US but continues to be widely available as an illegal drug.

Ajose calmly slotted home an early penalty after Zak Whitbread fouled Nathan Thompson in the air.
The striker sliced Ellis Iandolo's lay-off into the bottom corner after the break for his 25th goal of the season.
Larnell Cole came close for Shrewsbury but his shot was blocked, before Jordan Young slid past teenage keeper Callum Burton to score his first Swindon goal.
Former England Under-18 keeper Burton, who spent time out on loan last season at Nuneaton and Southport, was making his Football League debut for Shrewsbury at the age of 19, while fellow Academy graduate Ethan Jones came off the bench.
Swindon, who were beaten play-off finalists in 2014-15, finished 16th in League One, a drop of 12 places from last season.
Shrewsbury - in their first season back in the third tier after being promoted last term - ended four points above the relegation zone in 20th after their sixth defeat in eight games.
Shrewsbury Town manager Micky Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire:
"It is great to get the young boys on their way. It's good news for the club. They deserved their chance. Both of them can be pleased with their contribution.
"A rash attempt to clear the ball meant that, all of a sudden, just before half time we were a goal down.
"It's just the story of the whole season. We know that throughout the game as a team we haven't defended well enough. We gave away crazy goals."

He made the call as Greece prepares to finalise its list of economic reforms to present to its international creditors.
The reforms are needed to unlock a new tranche of bailout cash for Greece, which could run out of money in weeks.
Mr Varoufakis said that finger-pointing between Germany and Greece would only aid Europe's enemies.
Athens and Berlin have been engaged in a bitter war of words as the Greek government seeks to renegotiate the terms of its bailout.
German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has publicly expressed his anger, claiming last week that Greece "has destroyed all trust". He also acknowledged that Greece could "accidentally leave the eurozone".
Writing in the German business newspaper Handelsblatt, Mr Varoufakis said that tensions between the two countries "must stop", adding: "Only then can Greece, with support of its partners, focus on implementing effective reforms and growth-orientated policy strategies."
Greece submitted preliminary plans to the European Union, International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank on Friday night that it says will raise some €3bn (£2.2bn) in state revenues.
They include measures to combat tax evasion, more privatisations and higher taxes on alcohol and cigarettes, but no "recessionary measures" such as wage and pension cuts.
However, the reforms as initially proposed do not appear to have been specific enough to win the approval of the lenders, formerly known as the "troika".
European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said on Monday that the list of reforms still "requires a lot of technical work" despite talks over the weekend.
However, he added that the continuing discussions were "a positive sign that shows willingness and seriousness of all sides to constructively engage".
Officials say the final list may not be ready for several days.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Greece had some flexibility about the reforms it chose, but that they must "add up".
"The question is can and will Greece fulfil the expectations that we all have," she said on a visit to Helsinki.
"In the end the financial stability of the country must be restored. Greece is talking with the institutions now. We are waiting on these talks. And we will wait for the evaluation of the institutions."
Speaking in parliament later on Monday, the Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras repeated that his government was ready to strike a deal with creditors - but not at any cost.
But he did acknowledge the need to restructure the country's debts.
"There is the recognition [from lenders] of the need to finally begin a debate on the necessary restructuring of the Greek debt," he told parliament.
"Because without such an intervention it is impossible to repay it."
Greece faces a deadline on 9 April when it is due to repay a tranche of funds to the IMF.
Mr Tsipras added that the country was already seeing the benefits of his strategy, with the introduction of a new law making it easier to repay tax arrears leading to 100 million euros in a week.
Lionel Messi's 90th Champions League goal, a counter-attacking masterpiece complete with cool finish from Neymar's pass, put Barcelona in control as half-time approached.
The whole emphasis of the game changed, however, six minutes before the interval when Sergi Roberto's mistake allowed Raheem Sterling to set up Ilkay Gundogan's simple finish.
City, seeking their first win over Barcelona at the sixth attempt, were irresistible from then on as Kevin de Bruyne's free-kick curved past Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the 51st minute.
Andre Gomes crashed a shot against the bar as Barcelona pressed for an equaliser, but City wrapped up a landmark win against manager Pep Guardiola's former team with 16 minutes left when De Bruyne played in Jesus Navas and, when his cross fell loose from Sergio Aguero, Gundogan was once more on the spot to score.
City will reach the knockout phase of the competition if they win on 23 November at Borussia Monchengladbach, who drew with Celtic on matchday four.
Guardiola's methods may have been questioned after City's 4-0 defeat at the Nou Camp, but this was just the sort of night Manchester City's Abu Dhabi-based owners had in mind when they finally lured him to the Etihad.
City wanted to make the leap from the second tier of Europe's clubs into the elite and nights like this, and performances like this, will increase confidence that he is the man who ensures they can bridge that gap.
This was a win achieved with all the Guardiola hallmarks, in a blaze of attacking football, passing, movement and a willingness to take on the best without forsaking his principles.
It was the most significant win of Guardiola's reign so far - and offered up the rich promise of more to come.
Barcelona may have been missing the defensive power of Gerard Pique and the midfield influence of Andres Iniesta, but nothing should be taken away from the manner in which City exerted control and dominated the Catalans once they had equalised.
Whereas Barcelona's big three of Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez faded, City's big players came to the fore and terrorised Luis Enrique's side in the second half.
Aguero ran with courage, threat and unlimited energy, Raheem Sterling - one piece of poor control aside - was outstanding and was denied a clear penalty early on, while Belgian De Bruyne was peerless.
He scored City's second, unlocked Barcelona's defence for the third and looked a player of world class, fully deserving his standing ovation when he was replaced near the end.
City will grow in belief after overpowering Barcelona - and proved they have the players who can trouble the very best teams in the Champions League.
Early days, but Guardiola knows what it takes to win the Champions League after guiding Barcelona to victory in 2009 and 2011, and Manchester City will take huge encouragement from this win.
City will feel that after beating Barcelona in this manner they can be a match for anyone, although questions remain about a defence that is not exactly risk-averse.
The big news for City and Guardiola is that they matched Barcelona for quality in this classic. There can be no bigger tribute than that.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "They had an amazing 30 minutes, we had a lot of problems but our first goal helped us a lot.
"In the second half we created a lot of counter attacks. I am so happy for the guys, it is the first time we have beaten the best team in the world.
"Today is a good step. We play against a great team and we compete. Now they will realise, 'Wow, we won against the best team."
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique: "It was one of the best 40 minutes we have played on a stage like this against top-quality rivals.
"After the error for 1-1 we had a bad time. When you concede in that way it is normal that you go through a bad period.
"We hoped to continue to dominate but couldn't because of errors we made and pressure from the opponent also.
"We did not have as much possession. We were not able to control the game in the same way. First 40 for us and 50 for them and the score reflects that."

I tell them I have no crystal ball and that I see the same poll results as they do.
But what I do say is that whenever I turn up with a camera to ask people how they're going to vote, there are an awful lot of over fifties wanting to talk about leaving.
This may be a reflection that those supporting a Brexit may be more likely to want to talk about it than those who want to remain.
In other words: are there shy remainers out there in the way that there have been shy Tories in the past?
Last week I was out with Peter Hain, the man leading Labour's remain campaign in Wales, as he knocked on doors in Brynaman, right on the edge of his former Neath constituency.
Before we started filming, he outlined a typical conversation with a traditional Labour voter.
He said it quite often started with serious concern about immigration, followed by confusion over Labour's position and then finally a conversation in which he says his team are convincing people to consider a remain vote.
We started filming and within seconds that very same conversation, which he had just described with uncanny accuracy, actually took place on camera (we showed some of it on Wales Today last Friday).
There is clearly concern and confusion. From Labour's perspective, part of the problem here could be the apparent lack of enthusiasm for the EU displayed by Jeremy Corbyn.
After Brynaman, I hot-footed it to the centre of Cardiff where Mr Corbyn was giving a rally and when I asked him whether he was that bothered about remaining in the EU, he answered yes because he didn't want to see us losing the working time directive.
With all due respect to the working time directive, which limits the hours that people work across the EU, it doesn't strike me as the kind of issue that's going to get them marching to the ballot box in their hundreds of thousands on the 23rd.
Compare that with the leave message about taking control of your destiny, and you get an idea of why those going to vote leave appear to be more passionate.
That said, Carwyn Jones and other remain campaigners are now introducing a Welsh dimension and a harder edge to their warnings.
One such claim was made in the Senedd chamber this week from the First Minister that one of the big transport schemes, the south Wales metro rail project, would not go ahead if there was a Brexit because of the impact on EU funds.
Leave campaigners feel they have momentum. This week they brought together two emotive subjects with the claim that the NHS would struggle to cope because of a rise in the population if we stay in.
Their projection of a rise in EU net migration of 130,000 in Wales is based on Turkey joining the club.
They know it's far higher than the official projections, but they also know those official projections on net migration in the EU have proved to be consistently wrong in recent years.
Another question people ask me is what is the truth behind all the claims. They want a killer fact that will put their indecision to bed.
The uncomfortable truth for many is that there is no such thing as a fact about what will happen in the future.
They won't have all the answers at their fingertips, and instead they're going to have to use their judgement and gut instinct.
Some seem emboldened by that prospects while others are scared, and may not make up their mind until they are in the voting booth.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner there was no was basis for such an accusation.
The Turkish leader earlier said he had evidence and also said the US had supported the Kurdish YPG and PYD groups.
Turkish troops have been fighting to push IS out of northern Syria.
Turkey v Syria's Kurds v Islamic State
Why is there a war in Syria?
"They were accusing us of supporting Daesh," Mr Erdogan told a press conference in Ankara, using an alternative name for IS.
"Now they give support to terrorist groups including Daesh, YPG, PYD. It's very clear. We have confirmed evidence, with pictures, photos and videos."
At least 37 Turkish troops have been killed during an operation launched in August to push IS militants and Kurdish fighters out of the area around al-Bab, a strategic town about 20km from the Turkish border.
The US has been working with the Kurdish groups in Syria but Turkey says they are linked to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has been waging a decades-long insurgency inside Turkey.
Meanwhile the umbrella group representing Syria's political and armed opposition factions has urged rebel groups to cooperate with "sincere regional efforts" to reach a ceasefire deal.
But Riad Hijab, general coordinator for the High Negotiations Committee (HNC), said the body had not been invited to take part in a conference proposed by Russia to take place in Kazakhstan.
Mr Hijab said confidence-building measures were needed to create an atmosphere for political transition talks which he said should be held in Geneva and sponsored by the UN.
Owners can use it to listen to Spotify, iPlayer Radio and other selected apps on Android and iOS devices, and audio streamed via the Chrome browser on PCs.
The Chromecast Audio dongle costs £30, making it cheaper than many other similar streaming add-ons.
It also poses a challenge to speakers with built-in wi-fi, whose makers often charge a premium for their products.
At an event in San Francisco, Google said it had sold more than 20 million units of the original Chromecast, which streams media to TVs.
"The original Chromecast did really well because of Google's brand, which meant people trusted it would do what it said on the tin," said Stuart Miles, founder of the Pocket-lint tech website.
"We have seen similar devices to this before.
"But it will probably be quite successful because it will encourage people to upgrade their old hi-fis - which are still very good from an audio perspective."
The launch coincides with the release of a flagship "smart speaker" from Sonos, one of the bestselling brands in the sector.
Its kit is many times more expensive than Google's accessory, but Sonos says it delivers a superior "room-filling listening experience" that can be fine-tuned by new software.
Google also announced a second-generation Chromecast TV media streamer, which now has a third antenna to create more robust data connections and supports more apps than before.
The products are going on sale at a time when Apple, Amazon and Roku are also launching audio-visual streaming devices of their own.
Chromecast Audio can be connected to existing stereo equipment via standard 3.5mm audio jack, RCA or optical cables.
Once installed, compatible apps display an extra icon allowing them to "cast" sound to nearby dongles without the need for a separate pairing process.
This means visitors to the home will be able to stream material of their own once they join the local wi-fi network.
"As long as the devices are on the same network, proximity isn't an issue," Chromecast executive Dan Saunders told the BBC.
"It's not the same as the Bluetooth experience, where if you leave the room you break the [connection]."
Deezer, Pandora and Google's own Play Music service are among other apps supported at launch. Tracks can also be streamed from computers' local storage.
However, Apple Music, Tidal and Rdio are not compatible.
One feature that Google's product will not offer at launch is the ability to stream audio to multiple speakers at once, although the firm says it hopes to add that functionality by early next year.
This is one of the key selling points of Sonos's speakers, which allow owners to extend music playback into whichever rooms of their home they place its equipment.
As one of the sector's bestselling brands, it stresses the sound quality of its systems alongside their wireless capabilities to justify prices that range between £169 and £599.
The company's latest trick is Trueplay - an audio-check tool in its app that plays a range of tones from the speaker and analyses them to compensate for audio distortions caused by nearby windows, curtains and walls.
The theory is that the speakers deliver the same quality of playback wherever they are placed,
Google also announced the launch of two new smartphones:
Both feature a 12.3 megapixel camera, a fingerprint sensor and the new USB C port.
The search firm also unveiled a tablet, called the Pixel C, which will go on sale later this year.
All three products run Android Marshmallow - the latest version of its mobile operating system - which has now been released.
Although older Nexus devices should be able to install the new OS immediately, it will take months before it is tested on and ready to be released for other Android products - many manufacturers will never offer customers the update.
Google's own-brand Android devices have never been bestsellers, but one expert said that was besides the point.
"They're targeted at ultra-early adopter Android enthusiasts and developers," said Ben Wood from the technology consultancy CCS Insight.
"Google needs these devices to act as a reference platform.
"It means the opinion leaders - the tech bloggers - have devices in their hands that can show off the latest Google and Android services and enhancements as soon as they're released.
"The manufacturers compete to make them - despite the costs involved and limited sales - because it gives them a tremendous advantage to have early access to the new code and features Google is developing.
"That can give them the edge when designing their other handsets."
Another analyst said it was notable that Huawei - China's bestselling handset-maker - had been picked as a Nexus partner for the first time.
"Huawei had been struggling to open up the US consumer market," said Ian Fogg, from IHS Technology.
"This will raise its visibility and its ability to execute a high-quality handset - for Huawei, the Nexus relationship is extremely important."
Arundells in Cathedral Close, where Sir Edward lived for the last 20 years of his life, was left to the nation and first opened to the public in 2008.
The foundation which owns it then wanted to sell it but the sale was blocked by the Charity Commission.
In February, Wiltshire Council granted permission for the house to reopen for three years from 26 March.
After opening in 2008, Arundells attracted more than 45,000 visitors in less than four years but trustees of the Edward Heath Charitable Foundation said it was not financially viable to keep open.
The foundation agreed to test the "feasibility of a three-year business plan" following the Charity Commission's ruling in September.
Ali's great-grandfather, Abe Grady, hailed from Ennis but emigrated to the United States in the 1860s.
The boxer celebrated his Irish roots and in 2009 he was granted the Freedom of Ennis during a visit to the town.
The then Mayor of Ennis, Frankie Neylon, who helped to organise the visit, has special memories of the day.
"On that particular day I'd say there were 30,000 people in Ennis, 15,000 of them in the car park, watching it on the big screen and 15,000 on the streets, watching the cavalcade when he came to town.
"There were people from all over Ireland, a lot of people from Northern Ireland who would be involved in the boxing family up there, and a lot of people from Europe.
"They just wanted to be in Ennis because the great man was visiting his ancestral home."
At the time, Ali was in the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease and did not address the crowds, allowing his wife to communicate on his behalf.
However, the boxer still made an emotional connection with the people of the town who turned out to welcome a long lost son.
"He was so delighted to be in town, you could see it in his eyes and the reaction of his face - the fact that he was home," Mr Neylon said.
The home that Abe Grade left in the 19th Century has long been demolished and a new housing estate is in its place but a monument marking the spot was unveiled by Ali during his 2009 visit.
Mr Neylon went to the site to pay his respects to the boxer on Saturday morning.
"We laid some flowers there this morning and, lo and behold, I was there at about 11am and people had laid flowers there earlier than that.
"So, when the news broke, people had visited the plaque since early this morning and they're continuing to call there all through the day."
Special Olympics memories
There were poignant memories too, for those who saw Ali at Croke Park, Dublin on 21 June 2003. It was the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics.
Ronan King was a member of the organising committee and deputy chairman at that time.
"It was a magical night," he said.
"It was truly a night of the stars and, probably, the favourite for many many people, was when Muhammad Ali was brought into the stadium.
"He had been diagnosed with Parkinsons and he was driven in on a golf cart. But he just stole hearts, the cameras went to him, there were 80,000 people in the stadium, if there had been a roof it would have lifted.
"He was an icon of sport and for the athletes themselves, he was the pinnacle.
"When Muhammad Ali came there was joy and, at the same time, tears. A great celebration of a great sports person."
Mr King said that Ali was "more than a sportsman".
"He had a dream and he realised that dream, but he also charmed people. Even after he was struck down with illness, he still had that wonderful charm."
A highlight of that visit to Ireland was Ali's meeting with Nelson Mandela. They came across each other in a hotel.
"There is a wonderful picture of Mandela delivering the right upper cut to Muhammad Ali's chin," said Mr King.
"The expression, the fun and the outpouring, the meeting of two wonderful wonderful human beings will shine forever."
The three-time world heavyweight champion died on Friday at a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, at the age of 74.
The visitors went in front early on when defender Hayden White stabbed Zeli Ismail's angled drive into his own net.
Chris Forrester levelled after a neat one-two in the box and two goals soon after half-time put Posh on top.
Marcus Maddison slotted home for his sixth of the season and Bury defender Antony Kay put through his own net as he tried to cut out Tom Nichols' cross.
Peterborough's victory lifted them from 13th to eighth, just one point outside the top six, while Bury's defeat was their third in a week.
The home side were all at sea at the back initially and could have conceded a second after White's own goal, although Bury soon lost striker Tom Pope with a rib injury.
But their midfield diamond gradually took control and Shaquile Coulthirst hit the post with a low near-post header before Forrester combined well with Nichols and netted the equaliser.
Maddison ran onto Gwion Edwards' pass to put them in front with an easy side-footed finish and Bury's defence were caught napping again as Nichols retrieved a free-kick and played the ball low into the middle where it came off the sliding Kay's thigh and went in via the crossbar.

Alas poor Hermann, but he wasn't the only one to disappear without trace at Troon's storied par three.
Twenty-seven years before Hermann, Gene Sarazen's chances went south when he took five and lost the Claret Jug by one to Arthur Havers. And 74 years after Sarazen, a young superstar was going nicely in the final round of the Open when he fetched-up at the famous par three.
Six shots later, Tiger Woods' challenge was done.
Designed by Willie Fernie, the Open champion of 1883, given its name by Willie Park Jnr, the Open champion of 1887 and 1889 and refined by James Braid, five-time Open champion between 1901 and 1910, the Postage Stamp is in the pantheon of great par threes.
History? It's all around you out there on the patch of land that is about to host the 145th Open. The tee-box at the top of a dune, a long and narrow green carved out of sand hills. Standing guard, like malevolent sentries, five cavernous bunkers that spell trouble, at best, and death, at worst.
Hit it high and the wind might kill it. Hit it low and it's tough to stop it. Hit it short or right or left and you're not quite in Hermann country but you're in a bad place, a circle of hell for some.
Talk to a few of golf's best thinkers and many of them smile when the Postage Stamp is mentioned. To them, it's not just a golf hole, it's more than that. It's the way golf should be.
We now live in an age where major championship par threes can push on for 300 yards long, and where the game's only answer to technology is to make courses ever longer, ever more brutal. "We're losing that skill element in golf," says Paul McGinley. "The Postage Stamp is great architecture. It's not about distance, it's about course management, it's about shaping a shot, it's about touch and feel."
Thomas Bjorn is of a like mind. "It shows that this game doesn't have to be controlled by the equipment," he said. "It's not about what's long, it's about what's really well designed."
In 2014, BBC Scotland asked 20 top players - who'd won a combined 11 Claret Jugs and almost 400 tournaments worldwide - to name their favourite Open championship hole. It came down to two - the Postage Stamp at Troon and the Road Hole at St Andrews were locked together on six votes each.
Rory McIlroy, Ian Poulter, Nicolas Colsaerts, Louis Oosthuizen, Sam Torrance and Stephen Gallacher went with the Road Hole. Ernie Els, Luke Donald, Paul Casey, Paul McGinley, David Howell and Darren Clarke went with the Postage Stamp.
The casting vote went to Phil Mickelson. The American went for the par three. "Challenging a player for his precision as opposed to solely length is a lost art," said Mickelson at Castle Stuart earlier in the week. "The Postage Stamp is a perfect example of how you can challenge the best players in the world. I would love to see that implemented more."
The Postage Stage demands accuracy over length, brain over brawn. It's a tease, a siren with a touch of the devil. In dead calm, it's a birdie hole. In the wind - different story.
"It was a little dinky eight-iron for me when I played it last week," says Henrik Stenson. "Most of the good par 3s in golf are probably ranging between 123 to maybe 180. I'm not a big fan of the new four-iron or three-iron par threes.
"Of these little ones, the 17th at Sawgrass, the Postage Stamp - you hit a good shot, you make two, you hit a bad one you can walk away with a five. You can have a three-shot swing on a pitching wedge. If you're the kind of fan that wants to see carnage I can highly recommend going out to that eighth hole and sitting in that grandstand on a difficult day."
"There's going to be carnage," says Graeme McDowell. "If the wind blows in the direction I was playing it in last week you're going to have all kinds of numbers. The bunker pin-high right is unplayable. I hit six-iron. The next day I hit eight. It's a very changeable golf hole."
Colin Montgomerie spoke about the outward seven holes at Troon and the feeling he gets when he plays them. All relatively downwind, all fairly straightforward. "I think, 'OK, I can do this, I can plot my way around here'," says Montgomerie. "And then you get to the eighth hole and it's the first one that turns into the wind.
"Even in a practice round you stand up there and it's a potential card-wrecker. Always was and always will be. It does bring to mind the great par threes in the world of golf - Pebble Beach's seventh, the 12th at Augusta, and the eighth at Royal Troon and they're all short holes.
"It's amazing how one can design a course back in the 1870s and it still stands the test of time today. Fantastic. Nearly 150 years old and it can still generate excitement and drama."
McGinley uses the Postage Stamp as an example of not just what a great golf hole should be but as an illustration of how far golf is getting away from artistry. "It's just brilliant and it shows that if you get clever green designs and just a bit of thought then you don't need massive length to challenge players.
"The wind at the Postage Stamp is a big factor, you have a very small target and the margin for error is tiny. You don't have to be far off line for it to be trouble. You have seven or eight yards of width to hit it into.
"I like watching the ball as it hits the green because that tells you what shape you've put on the shot. Normally it plays a little bit into the wind, in off the right. You need to hold the shot in there, which is a difficult skill with a loft on the club. With loft, it's easier to hook the ball but a lot harder to hold it. That's what creates the skill level.
"We're losing that skill from the game, absolutely. Firm and fast fairways and greens call for course management and short par threes do the same. We're not seeing course management much any more.
"The Postage Stamp is all about course management and ball control. It's about who can hold it in that wind, who can play it the right way and create the right spin on the ball so that when it hits the green, it stops. If you get it right, great. If you get it wrong, watch out."
There is another way of playing it, of course. Sarazen was 71 years old when he arrived at Troon for the 1973 Open, the 50th time he'd competed for the Claret Jug.
In his opening round, he punched a five-iron on to the green at the Postage Stamp and it rolled all the way into the hole for an ace. The day after, the great man found sand off the tee, then promptly holed his bunker shot for a birdie.
Sarazen's heroics add to the legend of the hole. Its majesty and danger have long since been written into the folklore of the game.
If it's a success, one of Albert Einstein's greatest predictions will have been directly observed for the first time.
If it fails, laws of physics might have to be reconsidered.
The experiment is called Advanced Virgo, and it will be hunting for the most elusive of astrophysical phenomena.
"Maybe we have the opportunity for the first time to detect gravitational waves on the Earth," explains Dr Franco Frasconi, from the University Pisa, who is part of Virgo's international team.
"This would be a clear demonstration that what [Einstein] said 100 years ago is absolutely correct."
On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented the final version of his field equations to the Prussian Academy of Sciences.
They underpinned his Theory of General Relativity - a pillar of modern physics that has transformed our understanding of space, time and gravity.
From it, we have been able to understand so much - from the expansion of the Universe, to the motion of the planets and the existence of black holes.
But he also proposed the presence of gravitational waves, essentially ripples of energy that distort the fabric of space-time.
Think of them as a bit like the waves that radiate out when you throw a stone into a pond.
Any object with mass should generate them when it's on the move. Even us. But the greater the mass, and more dramatic the motion, the larger the waves.
And Einstein predicted that the Universe was awash with them.
Ripples in the fabric of space-time
But while astronomers have indirect evidence for their existence, getting a glimpse of these cosmic curiosities has not yet been possible.
Physicist Dr Toby Wiseman, from Imperial College London, UK, explained: "I'm not surprised we haven't directly seen gravity waves yet.
"Gravity is actually the most feeble of the forces and even dramatic astrophysical sources only emit weak gravity waves."
Now, in Italy, scientists hope to find them. But it won't be easy.
The first incarnation of the Virgo experiment ran from 2007 - and didn't see anything. Neither did its US-counterpart, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (Ligo).
But both machines - called interferometers - are now undergoing expensive upgrades, and the teams hope major improvements in sensitivity could hold the key to success.
Dr Frasconi explained: "The technology available to detect gravitational waves is available just today.
"During the last 10 years, we have developed very sophisticated technology to construct this kind of interferometer."
The scientists are attempting to spot the tiny distortions created when gravitational waves pass through the Earth.
They are hoping to see those emanating from violent cosmic events, such as exploding stars or colliding black holes.
iWonder: Does Einstein's general theory of relativity still matter?
The Virgo detector is formed of two identical 3km-tunnels, in a giant L-shape formation.
A laser beam is generated, then split into two - with one half being fired along one tunnel, and the other half surging through the second tunnel.
Mirrors at either end send the lasers travelling back and forth many times, before they are recombined.
This might seem elaborate, but it takes advantage of a handy property of lasers - the fact that they are intense beams of light, and light is a wave.
Imagine if two waves in the ocean crashed into each other, while one was at a peak, and one was at a trough - the waves would cancel each other out.
The same is true inside the experiment. And if the waves have travelled exactly the same distance along the two tunnels, then they cancel each other out, producing no signal.
However, if a gravitational wave has travelled through the tunnel, it will very subtly distort its surroundings, changing the length of the tunnels by a minute amount - just a fraction of the width of an atom.
And the way the waves move through space-time means that one tunnel would be stretched and one squeezed, which would result in one laser travelling a slightly longer distance while the other would have a shorter journey.
As a result, the split beams will re-combine in a different way: the waves of light will interfere with each other, rather than cancelling out - and scientists will detect a signal.
Great efforts have been made to insulate the experiments from the general rumbles that pervade the Earth, from traffic noise to earthquakes.
"You are trying to a build a machine to avoid potential noise," says Dr Frasconi.
"This machine is anchored directly on the ground floor - and the ground floor typically vibrates. The most important challenge is to isolate the mirrors.
"For Virgo, this is the most important challenge. From the beginning we have spent a lot of time to develop the multistage pendulum to isolate the mirrors from seismic noise."
But even then, a signal in Italy will not be enough.
If a gravitational wave is spotted there, the upgraded Advanced Ligo in America, which has the same set-up as Virgo, but is made up of two detectors with 4km-long arms, should also see the signal. So potentially should another, smaller experiment in Germany.
Advanced Ligo is now up and running, and scientists hope Virgo will be ready to be switched on by the end of the year.
The collaborating teams are so confident of success that they're forecasting that 1 January 2017 will be the day the breakthrough is made.
This prediction may be a little tongue in cheek, but Dr Frasconi, who has been working in this field for two decades, is confident that the end of the search is near.
"Right now, it is extremely important to detect for the first time on Earth gravitational waves. Otherwise we do not have the right information, the right knowledge of the rest of the Universe."
If the waves do not show up now it will mean that the experiments may need to be redesigned. And in the most extreme case, perhaps physicists might have to rethink the way that the Universe works.
But a direct glimpse will open a new window on the cosmos - one that wouldn't have been possible without Einstein.
Dr Wiseman, from Imperial College London, explains: "Seeing gravity waves would be fantastic confirmation of our understanding of general relativity.
"We have good reason to think they exist, but we can't be sure we have understood general relativity correctly until we see these ripples in space-time directly.
"Observing them would allow us new ways to test general relativity, but also give us an entirely new tool for observing some of the most fascinating objects in our Universe."

"Further details will be set out in due course," the Treasury added.
Mr Osborne has previously pledged to make some Lloyds shares available to small investors - at a discount to the market price - as part of the share sell-off.
The government also said it would extend its plan to sell off shares in Lloyds to the end of the year.
The scheme, which is gradually selling off Lloyds shares to big institutional investors, was originally due to finish at the end of June, but will now be extended to the 31 December.
The Treasury said the extra six months would help it meet Chancellor George Osborne's pledge to sell a further £9bn of Lloyds shares in 2015-16.
The extension of the sale, together with the sale of shares to the public, could mean that the bank is back in private hands within a year.
The government has long made it clear that it wants retail investors to have the opportunity to buy shares in the bank, evoking memories of big privatisations, such as British Gas's £3.9bn share sell-off and British Telecom's £5.6bn sell-off in the 1980s when Margaret Thatcher was prime minister.
In the lead-up to the election, Mr Osborne said retail investors would be able to buy between £250 and £10,000 worth of Lloyds shares, with priority going to those wanting to buy up to £1,000 of shares, to enable as many investors as possible to buy shares.
The government also announced on Monday that it had sold a further 1% of shares in the bank, taking its stake below 19%.
The government originally owned a 41% stake in the bank after ploughing £20bn into the bank during the 2008 financial crisis.
It started selling Lloyds shares in 2013, and the latest sale means it has now raised more than £10.5bn.
Mr Osborne said the share sell-off so far had been a "huge success" and said that extending the programme would help it to return more money to the taxpayer and help to reduce the national debt.

Two of the attacks were stabbings, while the third saw troops hit by a car. In all, four Israelis were hurt.
It is the latest in a wave of attacks, mainly stabbings, by Palestinians on Israelis since the start of October.
Nineteen Israelis and more than 100 Palestinians, mostly attackers, have been killed amid spiralling unrest.
Many of the attackers have been shot dead by their victims or security forces. Other Palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli troops in the West Bank or in cross-border violence in Gaza.
Two Palestinians were shot dead in a single incident after they stabbed a soldier in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, the Israeli military said.
The often tense city, divided between a Palestinian-ruled area and smaller Israeli enclave, has been a particular flashpoint for violence in recent weeks.
There have been about a dozen stabbings in the city, which have injured Israelis, with the attackers killed or wounded.
Hours after the attack in Hebron, a soldier was stabbed and wounded near Ramallah, before troops shot his assailant dead, the military said.
Meanwhile a Palestinian injured two soldiers by running them down near the Jewish settlement of Ofra, also near Ramallah, an army statement said.
The driver was shot dead, it said.
The surge in violence began in September when tensions at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem revered by Jews and Muslims boiled over, amid rumours that Israel planned to relax long-standing rules to strengthen Jewish rights at the complex. Israel has repeatedly denied such claims.
Most of the attacks have been carried out by individuals not known to have been acting on direct orders from militant groups.
Israel says Palestinian incitement has fuelled the attacks. The Palestinian leadership has blamed frustration rooted in decades of Israeli occupation.
A statement from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said Perera failed a random test during the recent tour of Pakistan.
The 25-year-old, who will be replaced by Kaushal Silva in New Zealand, played five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 matches during the tour.
SLC says it will test his B sample in line with anti-doping regulations.
The governing body added it would "make every endeavour" to enable Perera to resume his career "at the earliest opportunity in compliance with the ICC regulations".
Silva, 29, joins the squad for two Tests, five one-day internationals and two T20 matches in New Zealand from December 10 to January 10.
"If his B sample proves positive, Kusal Perera faces up to four years' suspension, according to Channaka de Silva, sports editor of Sri Lanka's Daily Mirror newspaper.
"De Silva added that it is highly unlikely that the B sample would prove negative: 'We have never heard such a case before,' he said."
The 31-year-old scored two goals in 39 appearances last season.
The former Peterborough and Hull City man spent three seasons with the Clarets, helping them win promotion back to the Premier League in 2015-16.

Only zero and low-emission vehicles would be allowed in the central London zone by 2020, said Mr Johnson.
The AA said it was an ambitious timetable and that the practical and economic impacts needed to be examined.
Clean Air In London said it was a wish list Mr Johnson wants others to do as he would only be mayor until 2016.
London is among the worst in Europe for air pollution.
Environmental Organisation ClientEarth has warned that in terms of European Union rules, London will have "illegal levels of air pollution until 2025".
A London Assembly report last December found that 9% of deaths in the city were down to air pollution.
In a speech to City Hall, Mr Johnson said: "Creating the world's first big city ultra low emission zone has the potential to be a game changing moment in the quality of life of our great capital.
By Tom EdwardsTransport correspondent, London
Poor air quality kills over 4,000 Londoners a year prematurely and many believe it is one of the largest public health crises facing the capital.
The mayor has tried to cut pollution with cleaner buses, dust suppressors and green walls but London still breaches European limits.
And that means large EU fines loom. There are also court cases ongoing with the government under pressure to show it's cleaning up our air.
The authorities here are trying to show they are taking action.
The question is will this idea of an ultra low emission zone in 2020 be enough?
Legislation is already to an extent cleaning up cars and HGVs.
Hauliers have welcomed dropping stricter Euro V limits on HGVs.
But campaigners are really angry saying that is a backwards step.
What is really striking is the lack of any detail.
Transport for London has not even a timeline on a consultation and has not appointed any staff to look at this yet - so this is very early days.
Environmental lawyers currently taking the government to court over air quality say this is nothing more than a PR stunt. Without details it's difficult to know.
"My vision is a central zone where almost all the vehicles running during working hours are either zero or low emission.
"This would deliver incredible benefits in air quality and stimulate the delivery and mass use of low emission technology."
City Hall said the mayor recognised that more work was required and believes his proposal would act as a challenge for vehicle manufacturers to ensure more affordable and low-emission technologies were in place.
Simon Birkett from Clean Air In London said the timescale was far too long and that it would only cover the central Congestion Zone.
"It's the biggest public health risk after smoking and we need bold action - he should have been starting on this in 2008 need bold action in two or three years, not seven or eight," he added.
Jenny Jones, the Green Party's London Assembly member, said the scheme was first put to the mayor by the Assembly in 2009.
She added that London had been in breach of European guidelines for pollutant nitrogen dioxide since 2010.
"This is excellent news for Londoners' health, but leaving it as a project for the next mayor to deliver is a way of ducking responsibility for the problems we're facing now," she said.
A spokesman for the AA said it was a tight timetable and questioned what impact this would have on police cars, ambulances, fire engines and vehicles used for essential deliveries.
He added that decisions made now would be affected by this change such as companies buying a fleet of taxis would need to know if the vehicles would not be allowed in the zone in seven years.
The mayor also announced that phase five of the Low Emission Zone would now only apply to TfL buses, which would save £350m in costs for businesses.
Mr Birkett said this was a backward step, especially as the low emission zone was the mayor's own policy.
The mayor also plans to introduce 1,600 hybrid buses by 2016 and a further £20m fund to help boroughs tackle local air quality hotspots.

State media said at least 78 people were killed, while a monitoring group put the death toll at more than 145.
Four bombings targeted bus stations in the port city of Tartous and in Jableh, a town to the north, which have until now escaped the worst of the civil war.
A news agency linked to so-called Islamic State (IS) said the jihadist group was behind the attacks.
Amaq cited an IS source as saying militants had targeted "gatherings of Alawites", a reference to the heterodox Shia sect to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs.
Russia - a key backer of Mr Assad - has a naval base in Tartous and an airbase near Jableh, from where it has conducted air strikes on IS targets across Syria.
The state news agency, Sana, cited a police source as saying that 45 people were killed and many others, most of them women and children, were injured in Jableh.
It reported that two bombs exploded at the main entrance of the town's bus station.
A suicide bomber also blew himself up at the entrance of the emergency department at Jableh National Hospital, it added.
A doctor at the hospital said it was bombed less than a minute after the bus station.
"Everything went into emergency mode, wounded people began arriving," Younes Hassan told the Reuters news agency.
The fourth blast reportedly occurred near the offices of Jableh's electricity directorate, on the outskirts of the Amara residential district.
In Tartous, more than 33 people were killed and 47 injured, Sana said.
A car bomb was detonated at the main gate to the city's bus station, while a suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest inside the facility, it added.
Bus driver Nizar Hamade told Reuters that the blasts occurred no more than 10 seconds apart.
"People began running but didn't know which direction to go, cars were on fire, there was blood and bodies on the ground," he added.
Another suicide bomber blew himself up in a western residential area of Tartous, Sana reported.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group which relies on a network of sources on the ground, reported that 97 people were killed in Jableh and another 48 in Tartous.
It also said the two bombings at the bus station in Jableh were suicide attacks.
Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said terrorist groups were resorting to bomb attacks against civilians because they were unable to fight the Syrian army.
"We will not be deterred," he told al-Ikhbariya TV. "We will use everything we have to fight the terrorists."
Russia expressed concern at the blasts and said they underscored the need to revive the UN-led peace talks between the government and opposition, which broke down last month amid mounting violence.
"Of course a rise in tension and terrorist activity cannot but heighten concern. It is further proof of how fragile the situation is in Syria and demonstrates the necessity to continue active steps towards resuming talks," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow.
President Vladimir Putin later sent his condolences to Mr Assad and reiterated his readiness to help the Syrian government combat "the terrorist threat".
IS, which controls large parts of northern and eastern Syria, carried out suicide bombings in the capital Damascus and the western city of Homs earlier this year.

"We just couldn't afford it comfortably anymore," Lady Sasima Srivikorn, who heads the Championship club's Thai owners, told BBC Radio Berkshire.
Chinese brother and sister Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li are in talks to buy a 75% stake in the Royals.
The EFL has conditionally approved a "change of control" from the pair.
"We're doing this to save the club and pass it on to better hands," Lady Sasima said. "If you don't have very, very deep pockets, it's a struggle and I have to say the truth.
"I know if the club doesn't have the funds or the backing on the monetary side, it's not going to be easy."
Reading, fourth in the Championship and bidding for promotion through the play-offs, have been owned by the Thai consortium of Lady Sasima, Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth and Narin Niruttinanon since September 2014.
Talks with Yongge and Xiu Li began in November but, despite the EFL's approval, the Premier League are understood to have reservations.
Yongge, 46, failed in an attempt to buy Hull City in September and reportedly failed to meet the Football Association's fit and proper persons test.
Should the deal not go ahead, Lady Sasima, who holds a 25% stake at present, assured supporters the Thai consortium will not walk away from the club.
"We'll find a way and put our heads together," she said. "We can find the money, but it's not a comfortable feeling putting more and more in every month to get the club up to where we want to be."
Any deal would see the Thai consortium retain ownership of the Madejski Stadium's adjacent hotel as well as land around it, earmarked for redevelopment.
"We know property, we're familiar with that business and we can handle the profit and loss," Lady Sasima added. "But in football, we can't."
A 27-year-old woman and two men aged 25 and 23 died when a car hit a tree and a wall on Radford Road, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire on Saturday.
Two men, aged 21 and 20, were injured.
The 20-year-old man, who was also held on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, was bailed until 31 July.
He was taken to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire after the crash, but has been discharged.
The 21-year-old man was undergoing surgery at the hospital for what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The crash happened near the junction of Willes Road and Eastnor Grove. | They say no good deed goes unpunished.

Dozens of people, including construction workers and restaurant staff, reported being fired after staying at home on Thursday.
The protest aimed to highlight the contribution of immigrants in the US.
One employer told CNN his staff would have to "pay the price" of standing up for what they believed in.
Jim Serowski, of JVS Masonry in Commerce City, Colorado, said he had no regrets after sacking about 30 bricklayers.
"They were warned, 'if you do this you're hurting the company, and if you go against the team you're not a member of the team'," he was quoted as saying.
The exact number of workers fired is not clear, however US outlets reported a series of sackings. Among those who said they had lost their jobs were 12 restaurant workers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who spoke to Fox News and 18 employees at a commercial painting company in Nolensville, Tennessee, according to NBC.
Businesses and schools across the US faced widespread disruption on Thursday as workers and students took part in a strike over President Donald Trump's hard-line stance on immigration.
In a news conference last week, Mr Trump said he would publish a new executive order after the US courts stymied his previous attempt to bar the entry of immigrants from seven mostly Muslim countries.
The Associated Press quoted a senior administration official on Monday as saying the new order would target people from the same countries - Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya.
Rallies took place in various US cities, including New York's Times Square, over the weekend to support Muslim Americans and to protest against Mr Trump's policies.
In Boston, hundreds of scientists took to the streets on Sunday over the president's approach to issues such as climate change.
Thousands of people are expected to attend further demonstrations on Monday to coincide with the US Presidents' Day holiday, with Mr Trump expected to return to Washington from his Mar-a-Lago beach retreat in Florida. | More than 100 workers in the US have lost their jobs after taking part in last week's Day Without Immigrants protest, US media say. | 39,032,051 | 437 | 32 | false |
Michael Hanlon, who came up with the idea for the £80m attraction called Jurassica, died on 9 February aged 51 after a heart attack.
The museum, covering three geological time periods, could be built in a 40m (132ft) deep quarry in Portland.
The project's trustees said they hope to secure planning permission in 2017.
The project has Sir David Attenborough as its patron.
He said: "Michael Hanlon had a thrilling vision for Jurassica - ways of using new techniques to bring to life the ancient sea monsters whose bones are still being discovered on this part of the English Coast.
"It will transform our vision of the prehistoric world. It must happen".
The attraction would see a glass and steel roof, about a third the size of the Millennium Dome, installed over the quarry.
It would house an aquarium with robot swimming plesiosaurs, fossils and interactive displays.
The project, which is being funded through sponsors and grants, gained charitable status in 2014. It was turned down for £16m of Heritage Lottery funding in May.

The Terriers, who lost their previous two away games, hit the post through Elias Kachunga in the first half.
Schindler's downward header from Aaron Mooy's corner gave the visitors the lead after the break.
Ipswich's Grant Ward volleyed wide from a Leon Best flick-on but they have now won just two of their past 11 games.
Tom Lawrence sent a free-kick just wide for the hosts in the first half, but Mick McCarthy's side lacked a cutting edge in the final third.
Listen to Huddersfield boss David Wagner speaking to BBC Radio Leeds
They have failed to score in their past four Championship games and have scored just four goals in their past 10 league games since hitting four past Barnsley on the opening day.
Huddersfield's attacks mostly came on the counter and they were content to defend their lead in the second half, but Kachunga was very unlucky not to have opened the scoring earlier when his sweet strike struck the post.
The Terriers have won eight of their first 11 league games and are now 12 points ahead of McCarthy's Ipswich.
Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner:
"I am very surprised as the only teams who could have expected this start is Newcastle, Norwich and Aston Villa.
"But I am not surprised by how my players are working together and how fit they are. In football, it is all about the little details and getting these details right to win games.
"For any manager in the Championship, three points at Ipswich is huge. This is a very difficult place to come against an aggressive team but we stayed in the game and then got our goal."
Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy:
"We weren't very good on the ball and we didn't create anything. We have got some injuries but I expect more from the players I had out on the pitch.
"It is difficult at the moment. I am not surprised by the fans' reaction. We did not play as well as we could and the crowd are getting frustrated and venting their feelings.
"I am doing the job to the best of my ability but if we are not as good as the crowd think we should be, then they pay their money and it is up to them if they want to boo. I am not happy with how we played myself."

The Treasury secures £1.7bn through the process, with a further £600m of liabilities taken on by the Australia-based business lender.
The bank was set up to fund renewable and low-carbon projects and has invested about £800m per year so far.
That includes total government funding of £1.5bn since 2012.
The deal with Macquarie should see that rise to £3bn per year over three years.
It requires the new owner to retain its name and headquarters team in Edinburgh.
A new asset management division is being set up in the Scottish capital. The bank currently employees 50 people in Edinburgh and 85 in London.
Although all the shares are transferring, the government is appointing independent trustees with the power to ensure it continues to have an environmental mission.
UK Climate Change and Industry Minister Nick Hurd, who signed the deal on Wednesday, said the government had turned a profit on the deal.
He said the Green Investment Bank had been "very successful in attracting private capital to the UK's green economy".
"It now makes sense to move it into the private sector where it will be free from the constraints of public sector ownership, allowing it to build further on its success," he said.
"This deal gives us the best of both worlds. We have secured fair value for the UK taxpayer.
"GIB has a well-funded new owner that is committed to the bank's green mission, with a track record of success in green investment and an ambition to grow the business."
Macquarie Group chief executive David Fass said the deal would open new opportunities in low-carbon investment in the UK and further afield.
"We are excited by a business that will take a leading role in the green economy, using the specialist knowledge of our teams in Edinburgh and London," he said.
Lord Smith of Kelvin, chairman of the GIB, said the sale decision had been supported by the board as it believed that attracting new investors was the "best available route" to securing the long-term future of the business.
"Macquarie has made significant and important commitments to the UK government to maintain GIB as a discrete entity within its business, maintaining GIB's investment focus and approach with a target to invest more capital each year than GIB has historically."
Lord Smith added: "Macquarie will also uphold GIB's green investment principles and report transparently on GIB's green impact.
"Macquarie will utilise the market-leading expertise of the existing GIB team and will build on GIB's deep commitment to Edinburgh."
The Scottish government did not favour the sale, but has welcomed the commitments made by the new owners of GIB.
Scottish Economy Secretary Keith Brown said: "This announcement is testament to the talent and opportunity to be found here, and I look forward to working with the Macquarie Group to ensure its ambitious plans for Scotland are realised."
Environment pressure group Greenpeace has criticised the bank's sale and Macquarie's past role in infrastructure funding.
The organisation's policy director, Doug Parr, said: "At a time when the government should be shoring up the low-carbon industry for post-Brexit Britain, they have given away one of our key tools for advancing green technologies.
"The hole left by the Green Investment Bank will slow our transition to a clean energy system, set us back on reaching our climate targets, and mean more of the jobs from new sectors will go elsewhere."
The sale was a competitive bidding process, begun under then UK Business Secretary Sajid Javed.
It was delayed by the complexity of the deal, particularly after GIB signed an £800m funding deal for offshore wind at the start of this year.
There was also a legal challenge lodged by a consortium that lost out to Macquarie.
Included in the arrangements for the sale is the setting up of a new joint venture for financing offshore wind projects, along with another Macquarie infrastructure fund, and USS, the university staff pension fund.
Dame Lowell Goddard is alleged to have said Britain had so many paedophiles "because it has so many Asian men", according to a report in the Times.
The senior New Zealand judge has hit back at the claims, calling them "false" and "malicious".
The Home Office said it had received no formal complaint about Dame Lowell.
She resigned as head of the inquiry on 4 August, after 18 months in the role.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse is investigating the extent to which institutions in England and Wales have failed to protect children from sexual abuse.
The Times also reported allegations that Dame Lowell had expressed shock at the size of the UK's ethnic minority population and mentioned having to travel 50 miles from London to see a white face.
The paper said senior Home Office staff and advisers knew about the alleged derogatory comments and other complaints.
Dame Lowell said: "I confirm my absolute rejection of this attack. I am confident that in New Zealand my known reputation from my work over many years will provide its own refutation of these falsities."
In a detailed statement issued later, she added: "The specific allegations of racially derogatory remarks are totally false. I categorically never said that 'Britain has so many paedophiles because it has so many Asian men'.
"I never expressed shock at the number of ethnic people in Britain. I have never held the views and opinions attributed to me, nor is the language in these allegations vocabulary which I either used or would consider using."
Dame Lowell said any suggestion that she "threatened at any time 'to take this inquiry down with me'" was "totally untrue". She also rejected claims of being rude and abusive to staff.
Andrew Norfolk, chief investigative reporter at the Times, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the sources for the story were "several people who are at a senior level and have a detailed awareness of what has been going on within the headquarters of that inquiry".
"These people, over many months, were thinking 'what can we do about this? This judge is seriously impacting on the work of the inquiry,'" he said.
"They forwarded those concerns to a place they thought was a fit place for them, the Home Office, and Theresa May had the power to terminate her contract. The frustration intensified as nothing was done."
The Home Office said it had been "made aware of concerns about the professionalism and competence of Justice Goddard" on 29 July, six days before she was to resign.
"The permanent secretary advised the inquiry that as they were independent they should raise this directly with the chair," its statement said.
"It is understood that they did this. No formal complaint was made to the Home Office."
Labour's shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said Mrs May and her former department had "serious questions to answer" over "suggestions that Home Office officials turned a blind eye to allegations of impropriety".
"How can the victims expect this inquiry to uncover child abuse when it has faced multiple setbacks of its own?
"After years of waiting for justice, they deserve better. It is crucial that this inquiry gets on with its vital task."
Labour MP for Streatham Chuka Umunna, some of whose constituents are among the abuse victims, said concerns about the scale of the inquiry could be addressed by giving it a "federal" structure, with a national body overseeing the work of several smaller investigations.
"That's the way to change the scale of the inquiry, but to change the scope would very much worry the survivors," he said.
Peter Saunders, a member of the Victims and Survivors' Consultative Panel, which forms part of the inquiry, said the accusations reported by the Times were not behaviour he "recognised" with Dame Lowell and he worried about the effect the claims would have.
"[The inquiry] has had far too many setbacks, far too many people sniping at it," he told Today. "There are people out there listening to this programme who most definitely want this inquiry to fail.
"It has evolved a lot in the last few weeks. It has turned a big corner and there is a determination."
Norfolk said: "I know for certain that the people who have been speaking to me and my colleague only have an interest in ending the deep frustration of people, men and women, who for years, for decades, have been waiting for the institutions that turned a blind eye to their abuse to be held to account.
"I think what really compounds all of this is the sense that an inquiry set up to oppose a culture of secrecy and cover-up has become itself an exemplar of the sins it was supposed to expose."

A 75% stake in Portlebay Popcorn brings Tayto into the premium popcorn market for the first time.
Portlebay will be run by its existing management team, independent of the main Tayto business.
The other deal involves Tavern Snacks - a firm which mainly serves the licensed trade in the greater London area.
Tavern sells crisps and nuts along with other bar snacks such as pickled eggs, mussels and cockles.
Popcorn is an expanding segment of the UK snack market.
According to market research firm Mintel, sales grew by 169% between 2010 and 2015.
The market is being driven by premium-flavoured popcorn, rather than the bog-standard sweet or salty.
It's that premium market Tayto is aiming for with the Portlebay deal - its flavours include wasabi & ginger and crispy bacon & maple syrup.
Tayto chief executive Paul Allen said the company had been "really impressed with the innovation and enthusiasm of the Portlebay team".
Portlebay currently supplies stores such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Co-Op and a number of independent retailers, mainly in the south of England.
Mr Allen said the Tavern deal allows the firm to "diversify both by adding another brand and also by introducing their range of nuts to our portfolio".
"We are now producing crisps in Tandragee which are being sold under the Tavern name all around London," he added.
The price of the two deals has not been disclosed.
In 2006 Tayto bought most of the Golden Wonder crisp company out of administration.
The Tayto Group has been owned by the Hutchinson family since 1956 and is the third largest snack manufacturer in the UK.

The Italians reached the final of the 2012 European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, losing to Spain.
However, they went out of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil at the group stage.
"It isn't a good moment for our football," said Conte, who takes charge of Chelsea after the tournament.

Watch as Conte discusses Italy's lack of young talent.
"It's important that the squad has a good spirit. I work a lot at this. If we are able to find this way, it's possible to be an outsider."
So sparse is Italy's young talent, that Conte has picked the fourth-oldest squad of the tournament, with just seven out of the 23 players aged 25 or younger.

Conte, who is taking charge of his first major tournament as Italy boss, said the loss of Paris St-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti to injury was a particularly big blow for the team.
"He's the best young player in the national team and a player with great international experience with Paris St-Germain," Conte told the BBC's World Football programme in his first interview in English.
"The other young players are very, very good, but without international experience.
"It's very, very difficult to find strong young players. For this reason, we are working hard to become a good squad."
Conte, who won three successive Italian titles with Juventus before taking over the national team in 2014, said that unity includes the Italian fans and has urged them to stand by the Azzurri.
"Stay close to the national team. It's important for the players to feel your trust in them," he said.
"We know this is a moment that is difficult for us, but together we can overcome these difficulties."
Another notable absentee from Conte's squad is 37-year-old midfielder Andrea Pirlo.
The 2006 World Cup-winner moved to New York City FC in July 2015, a decision which is thought to have counted against him in Conte's eyes.
"Andrea Pirlo is a great player," he said. "I had him for three years in Juventus and we won a lot with him. I'm very affectionate to him.
"But I know that in this moment, I have to find the right choice for Italy and not for my heart.
"I'm not happy that Andrea isn't here, but this is life and we must continue."
After Italy's World Cup exit two years ago, many fans and pundits accused the team of losing its identity.
Conte, though, is hopeful that he has brought that back.
"It's very important to have an identity and when the other countries see our team, I want them to recognise our identity," he said.
"I like to play offensive football and attractive football with great intensity. I like the players to transfer great emotion to our fans.
"I always think of the verb, win. Most people use this verb in a very simple way, but to win is very, very difficult. It's not for all.
"It's a tough road and along this road there are sacrifices and hard work.
"I'm a perfectionist in training, and in life, and I want the best for me and for the people who work with me."
The intensity of Conte's philosophy is in contrast with the serenity of his mentor, Carlo Ancelotti, who will take over at Bayern Munich as Conte moves to Stamford Bridge.
"Carlo was my coach for two seasons in Juventus and a great brother for me," Conte said.
"But we are two different coaches and we live the match in two different ways. I want to play with my players. I want my players to feel me very close. I suffer and I win with them.
"He's told me about his difficulties with the English language, the first time. My English is improving because I'm studying.
"Before, I studied a lot, but now I'm focused with the national team because we're preparing for these Euros in the right way, with intensity."
When asked which of the English words he has learned so far are the most important, Conte gave a further insight into his character and his expectations of his players.
"I like the verb, to fight," he said.
Anthony McSweeney, 68, was last month jailed after he was found guilty of indecent assault between 1979 and 1981.
In 1998, he was found to have pornographic videos while at St Peter's Catholic Church in Essex.
Bishop of East Anglia Alan Hopes is reviewing how McSweeney was allowed to move to St George's, Norwich.
Southwark Crown Court heard how McSweeney and his friend John Stingemore, who died before the trial, assaulted a 15-year-old boy.
McSweeney was also found guilty of making indecent images of children.
The court had heard how a cleaner at St Peter's Catholic Church found sex toys, truncheons and indecent videos in McSweeney's possession.
He was threatened with being "banished" from the priesthood, the court heard, but moved to a new parish six months later.
Bishop Hopes said "questions have been raised" about how the Catholic Church dealt with McSweeney after the items were found.
"This incident was, at the time, referred to the police who decided not to investigate," he said.
"It was, therefore, regarded by the Church as a matter of clergy discipline and dealt with accordingly.
"At that time no allegations of child abuse had been made against Father McSweeney, and no concerns had been raised in that regard."
He said the matter was now being reviewed.
Kris Commons and Stefan Scepovic scored in-between two first-half Pjaca strikes, who netted again following Marcelo Brozovic's curling shot.
Josip Pivaric's late own goal gave Celtic hope of an equaliser.
But they fell short of a fourth but took away the consolation of having already qualified for the last 32.
With a place in the knock-out stages already secured, Ronny Deila picked a makeshift team with captain Scott Brown and Scotland team-mate James Forrest both rested.
However, the defending will concern the Norwegian manager with Celtic continuing to ship goals in Europe.
With John Guidetti still cup-tied, Deila rearranged his front men with Wakaso, Commons and Scepovic all given rare starts in an eerily near-empty Stadion Maksimir.
The latter two linked up for an early Celtic chance that goalkeeper Eduardo had to parry clear, but Zagreb fired an early warning when Hillar Soudani slipped the ball into the near post from an offside position.
It only delayed the opening goal. Pjaca nipped into a similar position and collected Arijan Ademi's through ball, turned Adam Matthews inside out and picked his spot past Craig Gordon.
Celtic were not trailing for long, although the equaliser had a large touch of fortune about it.
Van Dijk's free-kick rattled off the back of Nir Bitton, deceiving the Zagreb defence and allowing Commons to head into the net.
Celtic were beginning to warm to the task and within six minutes were ahead.
Commons curled in another free-kick that this time cannoned off the bar. Bitton headed the rebound into the path of Scepovic who had his back to goal but turned and directed the ball in from close range.
However, just when it looked like Celtic were growing in confidence, they kicked themselves in the foot.
Matthews swiped fresh air allowing Pjaca to take the ball past him and finish via a deflection off Bitton.
Brozovic could have made it three moments from Pjaca's lay-off, but Gordon was equal to his shot.
The Celtic goalkeeper was busy again after the break, pulling off a double save to deny Soudani then Ademi, but he could do little about Zagreb's third.
Domagoj Antolic cut the ball back for Brozovic, whose curling shot inside the near post was out of the top drawer.
Before Celtic could settle, Zagreb had grabbed a fourth.
Pjaca was given too much space outside the box and he thumped a long-range shot well beyond the despairing dive of Gordon.
If Celtic were shipping goals for fun, so were Zagreb and Emilio Izaguirre gave the Scottish champions hope when his cut back was diverted into the net by Pivaric.
Celtic sensed an equaliser and went on the front foot.
Henderson had Eduardo scrambling back to tip his shot over the bar before Van Dijk headed across goal and Scepovic hit a post, but they could not find a fourth goal.
Decisions which affect the fate not just of 1.4 billion people in China but as we now know, the rest of the world as well, are made in secret by a handful of men.
This week, China's top political leaders have made no mention of the crisis, flagship mainstream media avoided touching on it, and government censors constrained discussion on social media within firm boundaries.
Does this matter? It is certainly different from any other major economy where the causes of such a crisis and competing solutions would have been thrashed out day in day out for the past two months.
Stepping back from the stock market turmoil, the central challenge for China's policy makers is whether they can build a prosperous advanced economy with sustainable long term growth before the old-style investment driven economy grinds to a zero growth catastrophe.
The government has loudly committed itself to a "new normal" which necessitates a range of painful but unavoidable market reforms. But no large authoritarian country has ever managed the move to high income status. So if China did achieve such a feat, it would be setting a precedent and making history.
Not for the first time, Party members and many other Chinese citizens may well retort, adding that China's leadership deserves credit for its management of the economy over the past three decades of reform. But the stock market crisis has demonstrated that the way Chinese politics relates to its economics has very specific consequences and not all of them are beneficial.
First is the need to find scapegoats. Because of leadership paranoia about anything which approaches criticism of China's political system, when things go wrong there has to be a villain and that villain has to be identified quickly and publicly.
So this week has seen a number of high profile investigations of market manipulation as well as the detention of a financial journalist for allegedly "fabricating rumours" which is often shorthand for facts which happen to be politically inconvenient.
But it is a matter of public record that government, central bank, regulators and propaganda chiefs all boosted the bull market in the early part of this year, and in any other economy, there would now be a discussion about the performance of each of them.
Was it wise to pour leveraged funds into such an inexperienced market at such an astonishing rate? Was it well-judged to deflate a credit bubble by creating a stocks bubble? Was it fair to make small investors feel paper-rich in an effort to get them to save less and spend more?
Instead of targeting a handful of brokers for insider trading, a different politics would allow questions about the systemic corruption risks on the markets and about how to make the regulator independent and transparent. TV news bulletins might hear from Chinese citizens who've lost their savings and have their own views on who is responsible.
The taboos about touching on anything systemic, anything relating to transparency or vested interests make it hard to have a rational discussion about what caused the problem or how to put it right.
A second feature specific to Chinese politics in a crisis is the determination not to let the facts get in the way of the preordained script and to reinforce unity around that script.
Throughout the stock market plunge, the main evening news programme on national TV has focused on anything but, typically leading with long reports on political leaders appearing together at various work forums and making encouraging speeches with no reference to the elephant in the room. A public united front is an article of faith for the Communist Party.

In the mid-1980s, divisions at the top over how to confront economic problems played a part in events leading to the student democracy protests of 1989. Many in the leadership still blame those divisions for the massacre which followed. "United we stand, divided we fall" is a Chinese Communist Party tenet of faith.
Due to the enormous secrecy of Chinese, it's impossible to know exactly what's going on, but there are signs of serious divisions. The bungled stock market intervention of early July was a clear departure from the market reform agenda that Premier Li Keqiang had set out at the beginning of the year.
A fortnight ago, an important commentary in the flagship People's Daily criticised retired officials "who continue to use their influence to intervene in crucial decisions long after they have retired". And earlier in the year the same Party mouthpiece launched a broadside against factions, pointing out that throughout Chinese history, factional politics had brought down many mighty dynasties.
The finance minister Lou Jiwei issued a blunt warning recently: "We don't have a lot of time left and the only way forward is reform." He was not talking to you or me.
Don't forget the context for decision making here. Even before the economic woes of the summer, the anti-corruption campaign had turned elite politics into a blood sport in which many top politicians, bureaucrats and generals found themselves behind bars.
The harder the Party works at public displays of unity, the harder it is to believe in that unity.
Some of the country's most powerful families have been hurt in the anti-corruption campaign and the market reforms ahead will hurt their business empires further. The stock market crisis and the handling of this month's currency devaluation have damaged the credibility of economic policy makers at a time when the sapping of confidence in China's growth prospects make decisions about how to handle long term reform even more critical.
The absence of public discourse produces a parallel universe with political and business elites awash with rumours about factional vendettas and power plays.
Underlying all else is the knowledge that China has reached an important moment of decision. When the economy was growing fast, there were no hard choices between core economic and political objectives.
But now that growth is slowing, the conflict is stark between the economic imperative of freeing up markets for the sake of China's future and the political imperative of iron control for Party survival.
Yes the Party wants markets because it knows they will allocate resources more efficiently than the state, but when the chips are down it wants total political control more because it fears that anything less will challenge its rule.
Behind the walls of the leaders' compound in Zhongnanhai, there are many views on how to square that circle on any given day for any given policy decision. But the constituency fighting for independent regulators, transparent markets and brave financial journalism is not strong.
Now that the mesmerising stock market bubble has burst, those outside Chinese borders will mull the fundamental question about whether China can build an innovative market economy under a brittle one party state. But that is a question that those inside China are not invited to debate.

Federer, 33, currently shares the record of seven wins with Pete Sampras and victory would make him the oldest Wimbledon winner in the Open Era.
Djokovic, 28, beat Federer in the 2014 final for his second title at SW19.
"I have played Roger many times and he is one of my greatest rivals," Djokovic said. "We all know how good he is."
Federer is into a record 10th Wimbledon final after sweeping aside Britain's Andy Murray in straight sets to maintain his 100% winning record in semi-finals at the All England Club.
He is three years older than Arthur Ashe was when he won Wimbledon in 1975 and the oldest man in a final since Ken Rosewall, who was 39 when he lost to Jimmy Connors in 1974.
The Swiss second seed has been in imperious form, dropping only one set and one service game in his six matches so far at the tournament. He faced only one break point against Murray, in the first game.
"I need to keep it up for one more match to really make it the perfect couple of weeks," Federer said.
To do that, he must overcome the Serbian world number one, who trails 20-19 in their head-to-head record since 2006 but has beaten Federer twice already this year.
Both players will have something to prove on Sunday according to BBC Sport analyst Andy Roddick, who lost three Wimbledon finals to Federer.
"Roger has been turning back the clock and, if he wins, we will be saying that he has never looked better," Roddick said.
"For Novak, it is about getting over the disappointment of losing the final of the French Open.
"Federer is in better form but Djokovic can say to himself that he is still going to establish himself as the number one player and he doesn't have to play well for the whole two weeks do it - he just needs to get himself in a position to succeed on Sunday."
Djokovic took almost four hours to beat Federer in a thrilling five-set encounter in last year's final, and Roddick is expecting another memorable encounter this time.

"There is almost no way for this not to be an impressive match," Roddick added.
"If one of these guys comes out and wins in straight sets then we are going to be saying 'what an amazing performance'.
"If it goes past three sets and they are throwing punches for three, four or five hours then that will just be part of the script of what we are used to seeing at Wimbledon.
"It is just perfect when you get the best theatre in the best venue, because it creates magical moments.
"There are rarely any one-sided men's finals here. The only one that comes to mind, apart from maybe my defeat to Roger in 2005, was when Lleyton Hewitt beat David Nalbandian in 2002 and that was kind of a romp from the beginning."
Djokovic ended an 18-month drought in Grand Slams by winning last year's final and celebrated by eating a handful of grass that he had plucked from Centre Court.

"It was a very important match for me to win because I've lost quite a few Grand Slam finals," Djokovic said.
"To win that match in five sets against Roger on grass was definitely something that gave me a lot of confidence.
"A few days after that, I got married. That was more than a few things that happened in a positive way in my life.
"Of course, I became a father as well, entered a new dimension of joy and happiness and love.
"I'm trying to stay on that wave as much as I can and hopefully I can do well on Sunday."
Federer says what happens 12 months ago will not play on his mind as he prepares to walk out on Centre Court.
"I don't really think about the match we played against each other last year," Federer said. "I just remember it was unbelievably thrilling and the crowd really got into it.

"It's great to play Novak anywhere these days because he's a great player. He's had great success, unbelievable success actually, throughout his career but especially the last few years, he's been unbelievably dominant.
"I'm just happy personally for myself to be back in a final. That it's against Novak, the world number one, it obviously adds something extra."
Hagfish are eel-shaped fish, sometimes known as "slime eels". They have a skull but no jaw or spine and they secrete slime when stressed.
The 3,400kg of hagfish were to be exported to South Korea, where they are considered a delicacy.
No-one was injured in the accident.
However, one lane of Highway 101 south of Depoe Bay was closed while the clean-up took place.
The local authorities declared on social media that the highway had been "slimed" and tweeted photos from the scene.
The owner of Activia yogurt and Evian bottled water reported sales of 20.1bn euros ($26.8bn; £17.3bn) in 2012, up 5.4% from a year earlier.
But sales in Europe fell 3% following a "severe deterioration" in consumer demand.
As a result, Danone has announced a cost-cutting plan.
The firm plans to cut about 900 management and administrative positions across 26 European countries.
"2013 will be a year of transition, with vigorous development in business in our growth markets and a drive to strengthen operations in Europe," said chairman and chief executive Franck Riboud in a statement.
The world's biggest maker of yogurts predicted its profit margins would fall again this year, with a negative trend for demand in Europe and prices of raw materials staying high.
Its sales growth in 2012 was at the lower end of its own expectations and behind the 5.9% achieved by its Swiss rival Nestle.
The company is heavily exposed to European economies, with about 38% of its sales coming from western Europe.
Sales at its Spanish dairy division were particularly weak.
The company announced in December that it was preparing a two-year cost-cutting programme to save about 200m euros.

It's usually thought to be safe to view lava flows close up but explosions like this one are unpredictable.
Here's volcano expert Dougal Jerram to explain what happened.
According to the last census, there are 407,000 Irish-born people resident in England and Wales. There are another 23,000 in Scotland.
It is not practical to sample the views of all of them, but there is some support for the idea of Sinn Féin reversing their long-held abstentionist policy.
The debate has been galvanised by the prospect of a hung parliament, in which a small number of seats could make a big difference.
Sinn Féin won five seats at the last Westminster election. They are now hoping to increase that number.
So why not do what Scottish nationalists do, and fight to leave the UK from within Westminster?
It is topical conversation amongst Irish expats, particularly in areas like Kilburn in north London where so many people from the Emerald Isle set up home in the past 50 years, it has been nicknamed Ireland's 33rd county.
Angela Naylor from Cork has been in London for 32 years and thinks the time is now right for Sinn Féin MPs to attend Westminster.
"It would be a great representation for the Irish," she says.
"There is still a big Irish community around and we should have a voice of some sort."
David O'Rouke, who arrived from Dublin in October 1986, is more wary: "I can't see them swearing allegiance to the Queen or to the Crown."
Wendy Metcalf, who has been in London since June 1973, says: "I know they've always said that they wouldn't, but I think that they should. I think it would stir Westminster up a bit.
"I remember when there was the People's Democracy and Bernadette Devlin in Westminster - she stirred them all up."
Others point to the previous century, before the partition of Ireland, when Charles Parnell's Irish Parliamentary Party fought for Home Rule at Westminster in the 1880s.
The more contemporary example of nationalists taking their fight to the green benches of the Commons is the Scottish National Party.
The SNP believes taking their seats at Westminster does not make them any less Scottish.
However, Sinn Féin still do not see the attraction.
Martin McGuinness says: "I think we've achieved more in direct negotiations with the British government - the Good Friday Agreement, the St Andrews Agreement, the Hillsborough Agreement and the Stormont House Agreement - than any MP sitting on his or her backside on the green benches in Westminster."
But could this position change in the long term?
Kate Devlin, the Westminster correspondent of The Herald newspaper, says: "If Sinn Féin did manage to achieve a breakthrough in the Republic [of Ireland], if they did manage to set themselves up as a party of government there, I think they could very slowly make the argument that at Westminster it doesn't really matter quite so much what they do, they're just in it for political gain and political advantage, it's not saying anything about nationhood any more.
"I think they'd have to soften up their electorate, but I think it's possible."
In the meantime, all eyes are on the SNP to see how it might use its influence at Westminster if it holds the balance of power after next week's general election.
Other parties may be taking notes.
But not in Estonia, where it is seen as fun, simple and cool.
This northernmost of the three Baltic states, a small corner of the Soviet Union until 1991, is now one of the most internet-dependent countries in the world.
And Estonian schools are teaching children as young as seven how to programme computers.
Estonia's e-revolution began in the 1990s, not long after independence. Toomas Hendrik Ilves, then the country's ambassador to the United States, now Estonia's president, takes some of the credit.
There's a story from his time in the US that he is fond of telling. He read a book whose "Luddite, neo-Marxist" thesis, he says, was that computerisation would be the death of work.
The book cited a Kentucky steel mill where several thousands of workers had been made redundant, because after automatisation, the new owners could produce the same amount of steel with only 100 employees.
"This may be bad if you are an American," he says. "But from an Estonian point of view, where you have this existential angst about your small size - we were at that time only 1.4 million people - I said this is exactly what we need.
"We need to really computerise, in every possible way, to massively increase our functional size."
So Estonia became E-stonia - a neat Ilves joke. And with the help of a government-backed technology investment body, called the Tiger Leap Foundation, all Estonian schools were online by the late 1990s.
Through Tiger Leap, they have been teaching programming at secondary level for some time. But their latest project is to introduce the concept to children earlier, when they enter at the age of seven. So far, they have trained 60 teachers to teach the first four year groups.
"By next September, when the new school year begins, I hope every school finds it to be important to integrate programming in their classes," says Tiger Leap's Ave Lauringson, who is in charge of the project.

In a newly-built, yellow-painted school in Lagedi, outside the Estonian capital, Tallinn, this can already be seen taking shape. A class of 10-year-olds are designing their own computer games, supervised by information and communications technology (ICT) teacher Hannes Raimets, a slight, quietly-spoken 24-year-old, a child of the first e-generation.
"I think teaching them to programme has lots of benefits. It helps the children develop their creativity and logical thinking," he says. "Also, it's fun, building your own game. "I think it's their favourite subject at school," says Mr Raimets.
What is also evident is that computer programming, at least at a basic level, just isn't that hard.
President Ilves makes the same point. Born in Stockholm of Estonian parents, he grew up and attended high school in the US. He learned programming at 13, as part of an experimental maths class, and says it helped him to pay his way through college.
"I don't think programming computers is such a deep, dark secret. I think it's strictly logic," he says.
"Here in Estonia, we begin foreign language education either in Grade One or Grade Two. If you're learning the rules of grammar at seven or eight, then how's that different from the rules of programming? In fact, programming is far more logical than any language."
President Ilves argues that education reforms take 15 or 20 years to show an effect. He feels this point is proved by the large number of technology start-ups for which Estonia today is attracting attention.
One of these is Frostnova, whose chief executive, Mikk Melder, is 25. His company has designed a game for primary school children called Ennemuistne, drawing heavily on local folklore and myth.
Mr Melder says he visited local museums to make sure the architecture depicted is strictly accurate. Players can dress their characters in traditional costume and make them dance a uniquely Estonian jig.
"This is the ultimate purpose of the game," he says. "To bring something old, preserved and traditional into today's world, into the digital age."
Rather better known is Skype, an Estonian start-up long since gone global.
Skype was bought by Microsoft in 2011 for a cool $8.5bn, but still employs 450 people at its local headquarters on the outskirts of Tallinn, roughly a quarter of its total workforce. Tiit Paananen, from Skype, says they are passionate about education and that it works closely with Estonian universities and secondary schools.
"Your capability not only to use, but also to create IT components will give you a competitive edge," says Mr Paananen. He is happy to hear that they are now starting even younger.
"Skype has kicked off a wave of technological innovations in Estonia and all these knowledge-rich, highly-paid jobs will need those bright heads for the future."
Estonians today vote online and pay tax online. Their health records are online and, using what President Ilves likes to call a "personal access key" - others refer to it as an ID card - they can pick up prescriptions at the pharmacy. The card offers access to a wide range of other services.
All this will be second nature to the youngest generation of E-stonians. They encounter electronic communication as soon as they enter school through the eKool (e-school) system. Exam marks, homework assignments and attendance in class are all available to parents at the click of a mouse.
"For most kids in Estonia, eKool is their first connection to ICT," says eKool's chief executive, Sander Kasak.
"They will be at school for 10 to 12 years, so they'll be learning about technological improvements all the time. So you could say eKool is not only a technological partner, but also an educational partner."
For Mairi Tonsiver, whose 11-year-old son Uku is a student at Lagedi School, eKool is a life-saver. He has just spent three school days at home because of sickness, but by checking online, his mother can find out exactly what he has missed and needs to catch up on.
"It was much more difficult and much more time-consuming when we didn't have eKool," she says.
"And your kids can't now make the excuse that they didn't write down what homework they have to do, because now you can just go to the computer and check it."
Uku says he wants to be a cosmonaut. Designing computer games is probably not a bad way to start.
Ireland come to Cardiff on Friday night with Wales facing criticism after defeats by England and Scotland.
"Perhaps it's a new experience for this group of players but they've got to come through it," said McBryde, who played 37 Tests between 1994 and 2005.
"They've got to knuckle down and they've just got to get through it."
And the former hooker added: "Until we do get that victory that pressure is going to mount considerably and in adversity that's when you show your true colours.
"We're in a goldfish bowl in Wales and we're aware of it and if the national team doesn't succeed you're going to get a bit of flak and nothing changes.
"[Head coach] Rob Howley, [kicking coach] Neil Jenkins or myself - anyone who was involved in Welsh rugby in the 90s or whatever - we know what it's like and we know there's no other way through it other than just rolling your sleeves up and just going at it again."
Individual players have been singled out for criticism by former pundits while the coaching team has faced accusations of becoming stale.
Wales have conceded they are out of the title race and have not lost three games during one Six Nations tournament since 2010.
And since 2005 they have won three Grand Slams and one championship title.
It contrasts with a period between 1994 and 2005 when Wales did not win a Six Nations title.
McBryde is hoping the players can channel the pain of a first defeat against Scotland in a decade when they take on an Ireland side trying to set-up a championship showdown with England in Dublin on 18 March.
"For myself personally there's still a level of hurt there from the Scottish defeat," he added.
"I'm sure the players are feeling that as well so we have to react in a positive manner in the opening exchanges against what will be a very confident Ireland team."
Wales have named an unchanged match-day squad with lock Luke Charteris passed fit for his place on the bench after completing return-to-play protocols following a head blow suffered playing for Bath against Wasps on 4 March.
"There's no changes so there's no excuses there really," said McBryde.
"We've shown faith in them as coaches that there is a lot more to come from that group of players and they are deserving of their opportunity and this is their shot at it."
McBryde confirmed Ireland have agreed to the roof of the Principality Stadium being closed for the match.
England insisted that it stayed open for their 23-16 win over Wales in February.
The fourth-placed Reds travel to Chinnor, who are third, on Saturday.
"It's important we set the cornerstone of the team, so up front we've got a really strong front row.
"Craig Williams, Richard Brown and Tommy Phillips can set us a platform and hopefully the guys in the backs can play off that," he told BBC Cornwall.
The Reds have taken nine points from a possible 10 from their two home games so far this season, the same amount as Chinnor - who Redruth beat twice last season.
"On paper we're probably underdogs, which is a good thing, so the boys can go up there and relax and play what we need to play and hopefully come away with the win," Churcher added.
"We can't get too carried away from what happened last year, but at the same time there's nothing wrong with using that bit of confidence to help us drive and get to what we need to do.

Conventional methods to control the outbreak were "not having an adequate impact", the UN's health agency added.
At least 2,100 people infected with Ebola have died so far in the West African states of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria this year.
The WHO says 79 health workers have been killed by the virus.
Organisations combating the outbreak needed to scale-up efforts "three-to-four fold", the WHO said.
It highlighted Liberia's Montserrado county, where 1,000 beds were needed for infected Ebola patients but only 240 were available, leading to people being turned away from treatment centres.
Transmission of the virus in Liberia was "already intense", and taxis being used to transport infected patients appeared to be "a hot source of potential virus transmission", the WHO said.
11,315
Deaths - probable, confirmed and suspected
(Includes one in the US and six in Mali)
4,809 Liberia
3,955 Sierra Leone
2,536 Guinea
8 Nigeria
"As soon as a new Ebola treatment facility is opened, it immediately fills to overflowing with patients, pointing to a large but previously invisible caseload," it added.
"When patients are turned away... they have no choice but to return to their communities and homes, where they inevitably infect others."
The international response to the crisis has been stepped up, with the UK and US both promising to open new treatment centres in West Africa.
The British military said it would build a 50-bed centre near Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, while the US announced that it would send a 25-bed field hospital to Liberia at a cost of $22 million.
Three countries - Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia - are at the heart of the Ebola outbreak, but Liberia is suffering the most by far. Why this is the case is not completely understood. Finding the answer will be a critical part of tackling the outbreak.
Variations in burial practice - which can include touching the body and eating a meal near it - are being investigated.
There are also questions about trust in the authorities and how the risk of Ebola is being communicated. Riots erupted in the West Point slum, with some reports suggesting protesters believed Ebola was a hoax.
Another aspect is the state of the healthcare system, which was left in ruin by the civil war. Liberia had one doctor per 100,000 people before Ebola killed several staff.
The response has also been lacking. In the capital Monrovia there are 240 beds, but experts say they need more than 1,000. Patients without a bed have no choice but to go back home, where they may spread the virus.
The Ebola disease spreads between humans by direct contact with infected blood, bodily fluids or organs, or indirectly through contact with contaminated environments.
Conventional means of controlling the outbreak, which include avoiding close physical contact with those infected and wearing personal protective equipment, were not working well in Liberia, the WHO said.
However, they appeared to be more effective in "areas of limited transmission" such as Nigeria and Senegal, it added.
Local communities, especially those in rural areas, had been able to slow the transmission when they put in place their own protective measures, the WHO statement said.
Also on Monday, the African Union urged its member states to lift travel bans imposed to contain the virus, saying that the bans could hurt the region's economy.
"We must be careful not to introduce measures that may have more... social and economic impact than the disease itself," commission chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said in quotes carried by AFP news agency.
The current outbreak has mortality rate of about 55%.
Liberia has the highest number of reported cases and deaths, with more than 1,000 casualties so far.
Hundreds have also died of the virus in Guinea and Sierra Leone.
There have been at least eight deaths in Nigeria. One case has also been confirmed in Senegal but there have been no deaths so far.
The road, in China's's eastern Zhejiang province, was built around the house because duck farmer Luo Baogen was holding out for more compensation.
Mr Luo, 67, said he had just finished the home at a cost of $95,000 and had been offered only $35,000 to move.
Officials say he finally accepted $41,000, and the bulldozers moved in.
The home had earned the nickname "nail house" because, like a stubborn nail, it was difficult to move.
China's official Xinhua news agency said Mr Luo and his wife had accepted the new compensation offer and had moved to a relocation area with the help of relatives on Saturday morning.
The agency described the situation as "bizarre" and having "achieved notoriety" because of images posted online.
It quoted Mr Luo as saying: "It was never a final solution for us to live in a lone house in the middle of the road. After the government's explanations, I finally decided to move."
Xiayangzhang village chief Chen Xuecai told the Associated Press news agency Mr Luo had grown tired of the media attention, saying the home owner "had received dozens of people from the media every day".
The road is a key infrastructure project - linking the city to a new railway station on the outskirts.
Mr Luo was the only owner of 459 households to reject the relocation plans.
The case has highlighted what is a major cause of unrest in China, as huge infrastructure and real estate developments spark hundreds of thousands of relocations.
Many people come under extreme pressure to leave, although Mr Luo has said this has not been his experience.
The 10% tax cut - first revealed in my Business Blog on Monday - was welcomed by the sector.
If you work in the City - today was not quite as cheery.
The chancellor has consistently turned the tax screw on the banks, raising the bank levy a few notches at each Budget.
He did not disappoint today, revealing in the Budget that the levy increase will bring in an extra £900m in taxes from the City every year.
Of course, banks are a bit cross.
So what, many might say. They are at least partly to blame for the economic mess the country suffered following the 2008 financial crisis.

And Mr Osborne pointed out that taxpayers had bailed out badly behaved banks during the crisis. It was now time for them to pay at least some of that money back.
But, banking and general financial services are one of the few sectors of the UK economy that enjoys a healthy trade surplus with the rest of the world.
About £67bn a year at the last count.
And it employs many hundreds of thousands of people not just in London but across the UK.
Anthony Browne, the chief executive of the British Bankers' Association, revealed growing anger within the City at what is seen as a politically motivated attack on the sector.
"Banks in the UK already pay more than £40bn in taxes each year, helping to fund schools and hospitals across the country," he said.
"The bank levy imposes a significant cost on banking businesses in the UK, which is making many banks move work and jobs to other parts of the world, and is deterring international banks from investing in the UK.
Users of the BBC News app tap here for the Budget Calculator.
"This major increase in the bank levy is likely to accelerate that process and damage the competitiveness of the UK economy.
"This will also further disadvantage UK headquartered banks by increasing tax on their overseas activities, while their competitors in those markets do not pay this tax at all."
That last point is particularly true for HSBC, Barclays and Standard Chartered, which have large foreign operations.
The last of the three has just announced a new chief executive, Bill Winters.
Mr Winters, an American, might well want to look at whether Standard Chartered, which does nearly all of its business outside the UK, should consider moving its headquarters out of London.
HSBC has long complained about the bank levy. But, given its problems with tax evasion inquiries into its Swiss banking arm, at the moment no-one is listening all that hard to its gripes.
The oil industry was always seen as the sector any chancellor turned to when looking for a few extra tax pounds.
Today, the chancellor announced a tax cut for that sector, taking the rate back to the levels of 2011.
It now seems that banks have taken over as the sector governments like to tax.
Police urged the public to take extra care, particularly on the A709 Dumfries to Lockerbie road and in the Newton Stewart area.
Accidents have been reported on the A714, A713 and the B7020 near Dalton since 07:00.
Police Scotland said there were no reports of any injuries as a result of the crashes.
The train, travelling from Athens, struck a house when it left the track near the city of Thessaloniki.
A resident at the property said he had managed to jump from a balcony just before the train made impact.
Pictures from the town of Adendro showed smashed carriages. It is unclear what caused the train to derail.
The victims have yet to be formally identified but local media is reporting that one passenger died in the crash along with two members of staff.
All five carriages of the express train left the track in the incident. The driver is among those injured.
The train was carrying 70 passengers, most of whom were safely evacuated within three hours of the accident on Saturday night, according to reports.
The accident happened some 40km (25 miles) from Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city.
A senior national railway official who visited the crash site said there had been no reports of problems on that stretch of railway before the incident, AFP news agency reports.
Police said that the cause of the crash had yet to be determined. The state-owned railway company Trainose said it had opened an investigation.
As the barrage lifted, bugles and whistles signalled as 100,000 men went over the top.
One of those was sounded by Drummer Jack Downs of the 36th Ulster Division.
A member of First Derry Presbyterian Church, he joined the 10th Battalion Inniskillings, Derry Volunteers, at the outbreak of the World War One.
In response to the bugle call the men left the trenches and rushed to the German frontline.
In the first two days of the battle, the 36th Ulster Division suffered almost 5,000 casualties and about 2,000 of those men were killed.
Downs' battalion had over 130 fatalities, but he would survive to fight another day.
When going on leave in November 1916, he was presented with his bugle by Colonel Macrory, who told him to have the following inscription engraved on it:
"On this bugle was sounded the famous charge of the Ulster Division on 1 July, 1916, at Thiepval, by Bugler J. Downs, 15486, 10th Inniskillings, also the retire for the raiding party who captured the machine-gun at Kemmel Hill on the night of the 30th September, 1916."
Drummer Downs' war continued, and he fought at Messines in June 1917, but he would not return home.
He was killed during the retreat from Cambrai in March 1918.
His iconic bugle is now part of a collection at the Inniskillings Museum.
It again sounded the advance at 07:30 on Friday, exactly 100 years after its call sent the men into battle, as part of a day of Somme centenary commemorations at Enniskillen Castle.
It was played by Portora Royal Grammar School pupil Stephen Humphries, who said it was "an honour".
"It was very different to a normal bugle - it's dented and it was very difficult to get the hang of - but it's very emotional as well as [Downs] was killed in action," he said.
"It's crazy, I'm only 17 and I don't know how schoolboys could just go off to war.
"It just doesn't seem normal at all to me."
Neil Armstrong, the curator of the Inniskillings Regimental Museum, said hearing the sound of the bugle was "very emotive".
"I suppose it's the one artefact within our collection that can speak," he said.
"Certainly medals and photographs and letters are very poignant but this is the exact sound that our relatives would have heard 100 years ago, and that's the most important thing and I think that's how we managed to link with that occasion."
Mr Armstrong, whose great grandfather served with the 11th Battallion of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and was killed on the first day of the Somme, said he had mixed emotions during the commemoration.
"Right now as we have gone beyond zero hour, it must have been horrendous conditions for the Inniskillings," he said.
"We can't even contemplate what they were doing and how many, even by this stage, would already have made the ultimate sacrifice for the division."
More than 90% of GMB members employed at the five sites voted in favour of taking industrial action.
The first strike will take place on 1 October with a further five days of action later in the month.
French firm Veolia, which is contracted by the council to run the city's waste services, said it wanted to "sort any issues out speedily".
The city's recycling service is subcontracted by Veolia to the Green Company, which run the sites and employ the workforce.
Pete Davies, from the GMB union, said staff were working on reduced hours and received no extra pay for working at weekends.
"I wish that we didn't have to do this," he said.
"I wish that the decision-makers in this city would get round the table and resolve this and I have been begging them to do that."
The second day of industrial action will take place on 6 October, with a further four days starting on 10 October.
In a statement, Veolia said discussions between the union and the Green Company were still taking place.
The company added: "If strike action does occur we will do everything we can to minimise disruption and keep as many sites open as possible."
The Green Company said it was making no additional comment and referred the BBC to Veolia's statement.
Former prime minister Sir John Major unveiled the blue plaque at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where puritan Cromwell was once a student.
Cromwell led the rebellion against King Charles I which saw the monarch put on trial and beheaded.
The Cromwell Association said a "long-standing oversight" had been corrected.
Chairman John Goldsmith said: "It is terrific that at long last Cromwell has got some kind of public memorial here in Cambridge.
"He was a man who represented Cambridge as an MP throughout the civil war and indeed afterwards and yet there is no public monument to Cromwell in the city at all."
It will be placed in the Market Passage at the site of the Black Bear Inn.
It was there where Cromwell held meetings to plan the parliamentarian effort when England descended into civil war in 1642.
The conflicts broke out between the Roundheads, led by Cromwell, and the royalist Cavaliers after hostilities between Charles I and parliament reached breaking point.
Cromwell became Lord Protector after the king's execution.
Sir John said: "I think we should recognise our history, not just Cromwell but all history.
"It points out what we did wrong, it will show us what perhaps we ought to do today."
He added: "If you look down the long avenue of our history over the last thousand years, there are very few people who have had the same significance on the way Britain lives as Cromwell."

Costelloe spent last season with the British Basketball League side.
Lokan, 25, who is also capable of playing as a centre, spent the summer with Western Australia state league side Perth Redbacks.
"Simon is a versatile big guy that can stretch the floor with his outside shooting," coach Daryl Corletto said.
"He'll give us options to play with a big line up at stages in some games."
Raiders head coach Jonathan White said Costelloe was "a great story" for the club last season.
"He was definitely one of the positive things to come out of the roller coaster season on court. Dylan was a major part of our results towards the end of last season," White added. | Plymouth Raiders have re-signed point guard Dylan Costelloe, while power forward Simon Lokan has also joined to complete their squad. | 36,955,146 | 155 | 31 | false |
Polly Sheppard, 72, referred to the accused, Dylann Roof, as "the young man" during 40 minutes of testimony.
She said: "I was praying out loud. He told me to shut up. He asked if he shot me yet. I said no. He said I'm going to leave you to tell the story."
Prosecutors have rested their case against the 22-year-old defendant.
The accused, who could face the death penalty, briefly approached the judge on Wednesday to tell the court he was invoking his right to not testify.
Clutching a tissue, Ms Sheppard spent half of her testimony speaking about each of the nine victims of the attack in Charleston on 17 June 2015.
She told the court how wounded members of the 12-strong Bible-study group implored the gunman to stop the rampage, as he turned to tell her to be quiet.
Mr Roof - who allegedly fired 77 bullets - stared down at the table throughout Ms Sheppard's testimony, never glancing at the witness.
Jurors also heard Ms Sheppard's frantic 911 call to emergency services, made using the bloody mobile phone of her dying friend, Ethel Lance.
"Please, Emanuel church," she gasped.
"People shot. Please send right away!"
The police operator instructed her to stay quiet and not to hang up as she begged: "He's coming. He's coming. Please!"
Ms Sheppard described to the court how she normally did not attend the evening Bible-study sessions.
But she said she went at the request of her friend, Myra Thompson, who was leading the study group for her first time.
Ms Thompson was among the dead.
Closing arguments will be heard on Thursday.
Mr Roof's attorneys have not mounted a legal defence, and will instead focus on sparing him the death penalty.
They will make that argument in the punishment phase of the trial, which begins on 3 January.
Stephen Hunt, 38, of Bury, died tacking a blaze at Paul's Hair World in Oldham Street, Manchester in July 2013.
The Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) report, which will be shared with other fire services, said they must learn lessons from his death.
It added policy change must ensure that learning "becomes second nature".
An inquest in May concluded Mr Hunt, who entered the building equipped with breathing apparatus but with virtually no ability to see, was unlawfully killed.
After a review of the inquest's findings, Greater Manchester Police said "no further action" would be taken citing accidental ignition could not be ruled out.
The report, which follows both the inquest and police investigation, was compiled "to provide a summary" of what happened during the fire.
It made several recommendations, including a suggestion that more needed to be done to spot signs of physiological deterioration in officers using breathing apparatus and issues around the loss of communications during an operation must be addressed.
Mr Hunt's mother and stepfather Susan and Wilf Veevers said while they could not bring Stephen back, "we can try and ensure this never happens again".
"That will be a fitting legacy for our beloved son," they said.
David Acton, chairman of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority, said the report was "hugely important".
He added everyone at GMFRS "remains utterly devastated at his death".
Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo has installed a vending machine dispensing clothing at Oakland Airport in California.
Nine other machines will pop up at airports and malls at sites including Los Angeles, Houston and New York in the coming months.
They will stock men and women's shirts and lightweight jackets.
Uniqlo USA chief executive Hiroshi Taki said the technology brought "convenience to travellers looking for a warm jacket without the bulk or a versatile undershirt".
The company hopes the gimmick will help entice customers to the Asian brand, which has struggled in its attempts to penetrate the US market.
Airports and malls were selected as high-traffic locations to supplement its 45 stores in the country.
The retailer, owned by Japan's Fast Retailing, has close to 1,900 stores worldwide selling inexpensive casual wear.
The vending machines will stock tops retailing at about $15 (£11.30) and lightweight jackets for about $70 (£53).
Fast Retailing is the world's third largest retail apparel company and also owns Helmut Lang and J Brand. There are no plans to use the vending machines outside the US.
UN West Africa envoy Mohamed Ibn Chambas said the military could face sanctions if they refused.
Meanwhile, thousands of people are gathering in the capital Ouagadougou to rally against the military takeover.
Days of protests forced President Blaise Compaore to step down on 31 October and flee to Ivory Coast.
Mr Compaore's attempt to extend his time in office was the immediate trigger for the protests.
But analysts say high prices, low wages and persistent poverty have fuelled wider discontent, particularly among younger Burkinabes.
The military takeover has infuriated opposition groups, who called a mass rally on Sunday against the army's "confiscation" of the uprising.
"The victory born from this popular uprising belongs to the people, and the task of managing the transition falls by right to the people," the groups said in a statement.
By early afternoon, thousands had turned out to protest in Ouagadougou's National Square, where one million had gathered earlier in the week to demand Mr Compaore's resignation.
On a makeshift stage in front of the crowd, one protester shouted into a microphone: "We are going to stay here. We are not going to move unless the military leave power."
Other protesters accused the military of being in league with Mr Compaore.
Elsewhere in Ouagadougou, witnesses reported hearing gunfire at the headquarters of state TV.
An unconfirmed report by the AFP news agency claimed that soldiers fired in the air to disperse protesters before seizing control of the building.
Meanwhile, the AU, UN, the US and regional economic bloc Ecowas all condemned the military takeover.
"We hope there will be a transition led by a civilian and in keeping with the constitutional order," Mr Chambas said.
"If not, the consequences are pretty clear. We want to avoid having to impose sanctions on Burkina Faso."
AU chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma urged the military to "refrain from any acts or statements that may lead to further instability".
The US state department urged an immediate transfer of power to civilian authorities and a move towards free and fair presidential elections.
The army has quickly stepped in to fill the power vacuum, declaring Lt Col Isaac Zida the nation's transitional leader.
Col Zida was second-in-command of the presidential guard, and his selection apparently came after a power struggle with the overall army chief, Gen Honore Traore.
Under Burkina Faso's constitution, the president of the Senate should take over after the national president resigns and election should take place between 60 and 90 days afterwards.
Northamptonshire fire crews attended 2,741 false fire alarms in 2008-09,
Last year, this number dropped to 969 - a "fantastic" achievement, according to Northamptonshire County Council.
But the fall is the result of a policy change - labelled "concerning" by the Labour opposition - in which crews no longer attend all alarms.
The unwanted fire alarms happen when an automatic fire detection system is activated even though a fire has not occurred.
Following the policy change, crews in Northamptonshire only respond to automated fire alarms without a fire having to be confirmed first in domestic properties, where there is a sleeping risk such as in care homes, hospitals at night, when sprinklers have been activated or in premises deemed at "special risk".
Fire alarms in all other premises such as offices, shops, factories and public buildings only get a response if a fire is confirmed.
Labour county councillor Mick Scrimshaw said: "I still run a small business and so am very concerned, as I am with the cuts in service in general within the fire service."
But André Gonzalez de Savage, Conservative-controlled Northamptonshire County Council's cabinet member for public protection, said: "Unwanted fire signals used to account for about 30% of all incidents Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service attended and these unnecessary call-outs have a serious impact as they divert firefighters from genuine emergencies.
"The fire service has done a fantastic job in reducing the number of unwanted fire signals to below 1,000 a year for the first time ever and this leaves our firefighters free to respond to genuine, potentially life-saving incidents."
Pedro Quezada, 44, a grocery shop-owner of Passaic, New Jersey, told a news conference he had not yet made any decisions on how to spend the money.
The father of five had his Powerball ticket validated on Monday in the local liquor store where he bought it.
The prize from Saturday's draw is the fourth-largest in Powerball history.
Lottery officials said Mr Quezada, who has been in the US for 26 years, had chosen the lump-sum option, meaning it would be worth $221m, or about $152m after taxes.
In a press conference on Tuesday at New Jersey's lottery headquarters, he recalled the moment he realised he had won: "I felt pure joy, just happiness."
He was joined by his wife, Ines Sanchez, his four brothers, and two nephews, answering questions in Spanish with a translator by his side.
Mr Quezada said he did not plan to resume working long days at the family convenience store. He stepped back last year and his son now runs the bodega.
"It's hard," said the lottery winner. "Imagine having to wake up every morning at 5am to then close my store at 11pm. It's very difficult."
Mr Quezada's son, Casiano, said on Tuesday from behind the counter of the family store, the Apple Deli Grocery: "I know he's going to do something good with the money."
Neighbours told The Record newspaper that the Quezada family had suffered bad luck in recent years, including a home burglary and a fire in their store.

But Warren Gatland's team had an uncomfortable hour before tries from Jamie Roberts and George North lifted the siege.
Scotland led 13-10 after Tommy Seymour's try cancelled out Gareth Davies's early touchdown.
Duncan Taylor's late try was little more than a consolation for the Scots, who have not won in Cardiff since 2002.

Dan Biggar kicked 12 points for Wales and Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw was also perfect from the tee.
After the stolid fare on offer in Paris where France beat Ireland, this game served up an antidote with Scotland asking tough questions of the home team.
But for all their endeavour, Scotland were unable to make their territory and dominance pay and once Tom James' 80-yard break broke the shackles, Wales killed the game off in a clinical seven-minute spell.
Wales started furiously and were ahead in the seventh minute when Biggar's chip was knocked back by Roberts, and Davies snapped up the bouncing ball to sprint in for his sixth try in 11 Tests.
Replays suggested the scrum-half might have been offside, but far from being overwhelmed the Scots hit back in style.
Their number nine Laidlaw sniped and Finn Russell's chip was allowed to bounce before Seymour pounced to score.
The Glasgow wing was also a key figure as the Scots won the aerial battle in the face of Wales' muscle.
And their half-time lead could have been greater if John Barclay, breaking from deep in his own half, had spotted the supporting Stuart Hogg on his inside instead of kicking ahead and into touch.
Biggar and Laidlaw exchanged penalties after the break, before an 80-yard James break eased the pressure, and could have brought more had it not been for Taylor's superb covering tackle.
But the incident swung the momentum in Wales' favour and after a series of attacking scrums it was Roberts who blasted his way over from short range just after the hour.
Within minutes North cut an angle to beat five men as he raced in from 40 yards past some tired looking defenders.
Wales looked comfortable in the dying stages until Taylor's 79th-minute try meant they had to survive a re-start with a four point lead.
Many in Wales thought Roberts should have taken the award in Dublin and the Harlequins centre was to the fore again against Scotland, scoring a try, making 11 tackles and winning a turnover. There were also strong Scottish contenders in Seymour and Laidlaw.
It is the return of Friday night rugby for Wales when France come to the Principality Stadium on 26 February with Gatland's team looking for a fifth consecutive win against Les Bleus.
For Scotland, it's Sergio Parisse's Italy in Rome on 27 February and a chance to avenge last season's 22-19 defeat in Edinburgh.

The photogenic 24-year-old Dane is using a day off in the run up to Wimbledon to promote her newest commercial partner, Belgian chocolatier Godiva, and specifically the launch of their tennis-themed Sweet Caroline chocolate.
In front of selected guests in London she tries her hand at some intricate design work, but despite expert hand-eye co-ordination on court she is finding this an altogether trickier task.
"I love having input into the chocolates and spending a day with the team working it all out," she says cheerily, before taking time to pose for pictures and chat with the awe-struck guests.
That unaffected air explains her popularity with tennis fans (she has 1.35 million Facebook likes and 870,000 twitter followers), and also makes her a marketing man's dream.
Indeed Godiva says it believes this partnership will be a fruitful one, not only because of her playing skills, but also her "appeal well beyond the tennis court".
According to Forbes Wozniacki made close to $11m (£6.9m) in 2014, with endorsements making up 85% of that total. Meanwhile, her total career earnings from prize money alone stands at $20m, with $600, 000 won so far this year.
The former world number one has major deals with global brands like Adidas, Babolat, Rolex, Sony Ericsson, Lavazza, and others including Dubai Duty Free, US vitamin firm Usana and Danish company E-Boks.
Her Adidas deal is reputed to be one of the most lucrative in sport, and she wears tennis kit specially designed for the German firm by Stella McCartney. She says that she only works with companies that she feels comfortable with, rather than concentrating just on the financial bottom line.
"I think carefully about what sort of deals I do. I like to be an ambassador for brands that I believe in, and that are a good fit for me as a person. That is why I am happy with this latest association - it is fun for me," she says.
"I am a tennis player first, and all of this - the commercial partnerships, would not be possible without the work on court. Things like this, it is my day off. My partners are very good about giving me the time I need for my tennis, and working around that."

Mother a volleyball player and father a footballer

Speaks eight languages and is fluent in Danish, Polish and English
Owns a Pomeranian dog Bruno - "a guy who understands me"
Was in relationship with golfer Rory McIlroy from 2011 to 2014
Wozniacki first broke into the Women's Tennis Association rankings in 2006, when she was just 16, having turned professional a year earlier. She ended 2010 and 2011 as the number one player in the world, and has picked up 23 WTA titles in her career.
But she is still looking for a first, elusive, major title, having been twice runner-up in the US Open final, in 2009 and 2014.
And she insists that her impressive financial record of prize money and endorsements come second to success on court.
"I am a tennis player, I don't play for the money, I play for the game and the passion and the crowd and the fans," she says. "When I started money never entered the equation, without a doubt I play for the game."
Off court she counts Serena Williams among her friends and also spends spare time relaxing with family, watching TV, adding that "I appreciate and value my time to wind down".
Other outside interests also include football - her father was a professional player - and she supports English Premier League team Liverpool. In 2011 she played in the Qatar Open in a signed Liverpool shirt given to her by club legend Steven Gerrard.
"I want to be positive about next season, but it is sad that Steven Gerrard will no longer be there," she says about the Anfield club's prospects next season.
Wozniacki says she has "a few more business ideas in the pipeline, but I can't say too much about them just now".
She adds: "Another thing I would like to do is a TV, I would like to present a programme or a TV series, that would be exciting. It could be a talent show, anything that was fun to do."
This week she is playing in the Aegon International tournament at Eastbourne as part of her preparation for Wimbledon.
And she is confident of putting on a good show at SW19, despite having yet to progress beyond the fourth round, which she has reached four times including 2014.
"I always believe I have got a good chance," she says. "Whenever I go into a tournament I want to win it."
The Godiva partnership famously came about after she told a US newspaper that she wanted to have a chocolate deal, and the enterprising Belgian company asked her if she would like to work with them.
So is there any other commercial category where she would welcome a sponsorship partner?
She laughs: "I would like an automotive partner, that would be awesome. as that is one of the categories I don't have."
Mr Obama, speaking to Spanish-language correspondents in Washington, said Cuba remained a "throwback" to the 1960s.
Cuba, under a US economic embargo for nearly five decades, has this year moved towards some economic opening.
Asked about Mexico's drugs conflict, Mr Obama said President Felipe Calderon was right to take on the cartels.
President Obama said the Cuban authorities had indicated they wanted to make changes to allow businesses to operate more freely.
But, he said, there was no evidence that they had been sufficiently aggressive in doing this.
"And they certainly have not been aggressive enough when it comes to liberating political prisoners and giving people the opportunity to speak their minds", Mr Obama said.
Cuban President Raul Castro has been introducing some changes including allowing Cubans to work for themselves.
The Cuban government this year also freed the last of 75 dissidents jailed during a crackdown on dissent in 2003.
But Mr Obama put the situation in Cuba in the wider international context.
"You are seeing enormous changes taking place in the Middle East just in the span of six months, you are seeing there are almost no authoritarian communist countries left in the world, and here you have this small island that is a throwback to the 60s."
President Obama has moved to ease restrictions on Cuban-Americans travelling to the island but a gradual thaw in ties has been disrupted by the imprisonment of a US contractor.
The US has repeatedly demanded the release of Alan Gross, who is serving a 15-year jail sentence for bringing illegal satellite equipment into Cuba.
For its part, Havana regularly calls for five Cubans jailed for spying in Florida to be released.
In the interview, President Obama rejected the argument that Mexico should try to find some kind of accommodation with drug gangs as a way of ending the bloodshed.
"I don't think Mexican people want to live in a society where drug kingpins are considered to be some of the more powerful individuals in society," Mr Obama said.
Peace could not be achieved by negotiating with people without scruples or respect for human life, Mr Obama said.
In his view, President Calderon had taken a courageous decision to tackle the cartels.
"I believe that, as difficult as this time is, ultimately Mexico will be stronger if it does not give in," Mr Obama said.
Some 40,000 people have died in drug-related violence since Mr Calderon began deploying troops against the drug gangs in late 2006.
Renewable energy developer Empowering Wind Group, was granted planning permission in 2008 to build a 136m-tall turbine at the ground.
But the airport blocked the development after claiming there was an issue with "air safety".
The company said it was now pursuing litigation against the airport.
Middlesbrough Council approved planning permission for the turbine in 2008.
Following the decision, Durham Tees Valley Airport claimed there was an issue with "air safety" and "degradation to the radar service".
However, after an investigation by the Civil Aviation Authority, it was deemed Empowering Wind Group did not need approval from the airport and said the turbine would not compromise passenger safety.
Chief executive Paul Millinder said the company was taking legal action after it lost 30% of the tariff the company was going to get for the electricity it generated.
A statement from Durham Tees Valley Airport said: "We are awaiting a letter from Middlesbrough Council, which will explain the rationale behind this decision.
"We have no further comment to make at this stage."
The Championship club said the turbine would provide power for 20 years.
The stadium will be the first sports venue in Europe to become self-sustainable.
The turbine, which will be installed in the car park, is expected to be built by the end of May.
Up to 200,000 people are expected to line the streets to congratulate about 350 athletes on their success in Rio.
The parade will begin outside the Museum of Science and Industry at 16:30 BST before moving through Manchester.
The event will be broadcast live on BBC One from 16:15 BST, with a highlights show at 20:30pm.
Team GB and Paralympic GB won a combined 214 medals in Rio this summer, coming second in both the Olympic and Paralympic medal tables.
The parade begins at the Museum of Science and Industry and will go down Liverpool Road before quickly turning on to Deansgate.
It will then continue through the city centre, before ending in Albert Square with an event at 17:30 BST.
For more information visit the Manchester City Council website.
About 350 of GB's Olympic and Paralympic athletes will be present, including the likes of recently retired heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill, boxer Nicola Adams, triathletes Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, gymnast Max Whitlock, swimmer Ellie Simmonds, the women's hockey team and many more.
One man who will not be attending is Britain's most successful ever Olympian Sir Bradley Wiggins, although he has not been present at any such event since 2004.
Mo Farah will also be absent, while Jason Kenny and Laura Trott are on honeymoon.
The forecast suggests there could be some rain during the parade - so pack a brolly.
Prime Minister Theresa May said: "It will be a celebration fit for heroes - and rightly so, because that is exactly what they are."
Tracey Crouch, the Sports Minister, urged the public to turn out for the two-day celebrations - the athletes will head to London for an event in Trafalgar Square on Tuesday.
She said: "Our Olympic and Paralympic heroes have made the nation proud. Now is the time for the public to come out on to the streets of Manchester and London to show their appreciation."
Manchester Council deputy leader Sue Murphy said the city "will be sure to show our athletes the meaning of celebration".
"Manchester has been a medal factory, pumping out golds as the home of British cycling and British Taekwondo," she added.
Thurso-based O'Brien Construction will construct the £1.9m building at Forsinard in Sutherland for the Peatlands Partnership.
The partnership involves several organisations including RSPB Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage.
Conservation workers and university groups will use the field centre.
Designed by Colin Armstrong Associates in Inverness, the building was given planning consent by Highland Council's north planning applications committee.
It is being built on land owned by RSPB Scotland between the existing railway line and the A897.
Striker Rooney, 30, was left out of Jose Mourinho's starting line-up for the 4-1 win over Leicester on Saturday.
Asked if Rooney appeared down when he was told, Smalling replied: "No."
The England centre-back added: "He was the same before the game when we were all getting ready. He is often one of the most vocal and he was the same."
Saturday was the first time Mourinho had dropped Rooney since he took charge of the Red Devils in the summer.
Smalling, 26, said the England captain acted in the same manner whether he was in the team or on the bench.
"Whatever the situation is, whatever game, whether he is on the bench or playing or whatever, he is always that same type of character and that's why he is England's main man and our main man," he said.
Rooney is just four goals short of his 250th for the club, which would overtake the 249 hit by record goalscorer Sir Bobby Charlton - and Smalling does not think it will be long before he returns.
The former Fulham player said: "He's a very experienced guy and he's played that many games that I think it'll only be a matter of time before he's back in there and firing again because he's quality."
Smalling headed home the opening goal in United's victory over Leicester, with Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba also scoring.
Asked about Rooney after the game, Mourinho said: "He's my man, I trust him completely. He's as happy as I am at this moment.
"He's a big player for me, for United, a big player for this country."

"There is no great disconnect between Wayne Rooney and club or manager, as there was in 2013, when Rooney sat in an executive box and watched Sir Alex Ferguson's final Old Trafford game as Manchester United manager behind glass.
"Rooney politely applauded back when he was sent out to warm up for the first time, and the home fans' reception was enthusiastic when he ran on to the field after replacing Rashford near the end.
"It won't stop the chatter around Rooney though. His United future is on the line.
"What we don't know yet is whether England's captain is surplus to requirements permanently."

The crew and a passenger, who was a trained nurse, helped deliver the baby at 35,000 feet (10,688 metres) after a woman went into premature labour.
The mother and the baby were taken to a hospital after the Boeing 737 landed in the western city of Mumbai.
The airline told the BBC that both baby and mother were in good health.
The company thanked its crew and nurse Mini Wilson for "the successful birth of the baby boy".
Cabin crew help woman give birth
Plane birth sparks Taiwan controversy
"Jet Airways commends its crew for their response and promptness that saw them successfully translate their training into life saving action," it said in a statement.
The airlines added that it was the first time "a baby was born in-flight for the airline".
Other airlines have also experienced similar situations. The cabin crew on a Turkish Airlines flight celebrated the arrival of an extra passenger at 42,000ft (12,800 metres) when a woman gave birth to a baby girl in April this year.
Most airlines allow expectant mothers to travel until they are 36 weeks pregnant, but require a signed letter from a doctor from 28 weeks onwards which confirms the expected date of birth.
Some say it could inspire confidence while others voiced privacy concerns.

It is listed as available "by invitation only" on the Amazon website and is aimed at the US market only.
"With this data, Amazon won't be able to just sell you clothes or judge you. It could analyze (sic) if you're depressed or pregnant and much else," tweeted Zeynap Tufekci, assistant professor at the University of North Carolina.
"Not just a privacy disaster; people don't understand what algorithms can infer from pictures. You are disclosing a lot of health info, too."
Amazon said that it would not share any personal information with advertisers or third party websites.
But Fiona Blake, who runs a closed Facebook page where hundreds of women share photos of their outfits and offer each other supportive fashion advice, said she thought the Echo Look sounded like a good idea.
"People struggle with looking in the mirror and taking photographs of themselves," she said.
"This is brilliant daily inspiration. You could flick through your own personal Pinterest board [of outfit choices] - that is key for getting up, getting dressed and getting out there.
"I'm happy for someone to recommend something. I can't get to every high street shop. I don't mind being sold to but I know a lot of people don't like that approach."
Professional stylist Donna McCulloch, from Sulky Doll stylists, said people should not rely on an app to tell them what to wear.
"If you are unsure about an outfit, then trust your own gut instinct and try a different look instead," she said.
Ben Wood, analyst at CCS Insight, said the Echo Look may not appeal to all ages.
"For younger people that happily share regular moments of their life via SnapChat and Instagram, the general response has been positive with the main limitation being the price," he told the BBC.
"However, for a slightly older audience it either seems completely unnecessary (I already have a full length mirror) or is regarded as a considerable privacy concern - particularly in the context of a device that it makes sense to have in a bedroom.
"It underlines Amazon's ambitions for its growing range of Alexa-powered Echo products. The Echo Look helps extend its reach into other parts of people's homes and also in the dramatically different product categories orientated around fashion."
Teacher Gwen Mayor and 16 of her pupils were killed when Thomas Hamilton opened fire on them on 13 March 1996.
Rev Colin Renwick, who will lead tributes at Dunblane Cathedral, said there had not been a day since when those lost had not been remembered.
Ch Insp Paul Rollo said people would also "celebrate the vibrant community which had overcome" the tragedy.
The killings in the town, which is near Stirling, shocked the nation and led to the UK enforcing some of the strictest firearms legislation in the world.
Assistant Chief Constable Kate Thomson said: "Much has changed in 20 years but the shock and sadness is still felt by people throughout Scotland and further afield, including police officers who served in Central Scotland Police and elsewhere at the time, and those who have joined the service since.
"We wish to extend our sympathies to the families and friends of those who died, and those involved in the tragic events of 1996 in Dunblane, at this time of remembrance."
Rev Renwick said: "Since that day, people have appreciated the support and prayers of others throughout the world, but have also valued being allowed the space to grieve and rebuild with privacy and dignity, with as little media scrutiny as possible.
"During these various services, there will be an opportunity for those who gather to remember and to pray for continuing strength and peace."
Monsignor Basil O'Sullivan will mark the anniversary in the Holy Family church in Dunblane.
He was parish priest at the time of the shooting and told the Scottish Catholic Observer: "As we have every year without fail, we're having an anniversary Mass.
"We pray for the injured, we pray for the bereaved and those who still suffer every day."
Survivors and relatives have also been reflecting on the impact of the shooting on their lives and on the country as a whole.
Mick North, whose five-year-old daughter Sophie was killed, said the positive legacy should not be forgotten - that people are safer from gun crime than they were 20 years ago.
He said: "In many respects, the day of the forthcoming anniversary won't be especially different - any day from the last 20 years was one for memories.
"The importance of the 20th anniversary is as an occasion when others can recall and reflect on a horrific event, and also a time when those too young to remember might learn about what happened and consider its significance."
Alison Ross, sister of five-year-old victim Joanna Ross, wants people to see the positive life in Dunblane today.
She told a BBC Scotland documentary: "It needs to be remembered so that everyone's aware that we are still here, we are still getting on with our lives and we didn't just fade into the background either.
"We still had to power on and push on with our lives, and it's important that everyone knows we're doing it, and doing it well."
The American, seeking to equal Steffi Graf's Open-era record of 22 Grand Slam titles, has also been struggling with a knee injury in the build-up.
But the 33-year-old world number one came through a testing match unscathed.
Sixth seed Petra Kvitova beat Luksika Kumkhum 6-3 6-1 on a scorching day.
The two-time Wimbledon champion has also had problems, with a stomach virus forcing her out of two warm-up events.
"I'm very pleased how I played and how I handled the nerves and everything else," said the Czech. "I had an interrupted lead-up and lost some weight but I'm feeling much better now."
Italy's Sara Errani, the 17th seed, had injury problems during her match and became the first women's seed knocked out, losing 1-6 7-5 6-1 to 21-year-old Russian Margarita Gasparyan.

Payne, 27, who needed a top-10 finish to qualify for Rio, clocked one hour 58 minutes and 58.53 seconds in Kazan.
Aurelie Muller of France finished 49.3 secs faster to take gold, ahead of Dutchwoman Sharon Van Rouwendaal and Brazil's Ana Chunha, who was third.
"It's not the result I wanted, but it's not the end," Payne told BBC Sport.
The two-time world champion and team-mate Danielle Huskisson, who was 35th, will have a second opportunity to qualify for Rio at the Olympic qualification event in Portugal in June next year.
Fellow Briton Jack Burnell secured his place in Rio by finishing fifth in the men's event on Monday.
Payne, the 2008 Beijing Olympic silver medallist, had been undecided about whether to continue in the sport after finishing fourth at London 2012.
"I've only been back in full-time training for a year and maybe I've raced too much or too little," she told BBC Sport.
"I'm technically old at 27 in the sport, but am still learning and trying out new things all of the time so I think there's a lot to build on from here."
Huskisson will battle Payne for the sole position Britain can now attain for the women's 10km race at the Rio Olympics and believes officials can do more to ensure fairer competition.
"Most of the girls seem to think it's rugby rather than open water swimming," said Huskisson, who received a yellow card whilst trying to maintain position.
"There are definitely favoured swimmers, but there's nothing you can do but go out and swim as hard as you can, which I'll continue to do."
Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom has published an intriguing official correction to her speech during a debate on plans for a tidal lagoon in Swansea.
Ms Leadsom was last week challenged by MPs about the UK government's review (by committee) of the project. She told them she was "quite sure that there will be someone from Wales on it".
Now she has replaced that commitment with: "We will ensure that Welsh interests are represented within the review."
Shadow Welsh Secretary Nia Griffith smelt a rat: "It's bad enough that the UK government has seen fit to kick this project into the long grass, but today's admission by the energy minister that there won't even be anyone from Wales on the review panel just adds insult to injury.
"This raises the very real prospect of a Whitehall stitch-up by the UK government to ensure that this vitally important infrastructure project does not now go ahead."
The timing, on the eve of the Budget, appears to be no coincidence and MPs expect the chair of the review to be named by George Osborne shortly.
This is the full text of the correction:
"An error has been identified in the statement Minister of State for Energy Andrea Leadsom made as part of the Westminster Hall debate on Swansea tidal lagoon on Tuesday 8 March 2016.
The Minister stated:
'As I say, the make-up of the committee is being discussed right now, and I will certainly take that point away. I am quite sure that there will be someone from Wales on it, but I cannot say for certain because we have not got the names of individual members yet. I am grateful to the hon. lady for making that point.'
What the Minister meant to say is:
'As I say, we are discussing right now the details of the review. We intend that the review will be led by an independent reviewer, supported by a secretariat of civil servants seconded into the review. We will ensure that Welsh interests are represented within the review'."
The Department for Energy and Climate Change said: "We're determined to have a balanced and independent review of tidal lagoons.
"While we're still working out the finer details, you can be sure that, when the time comes, all those with an interest will be able to have their say. That includes Welsh residents and businesses.
"We're committed to providing clean, affordable and secure energy that families and businesses can rely on now and in the future. This review will help us determine what role tidal lagoons could play in this."
An eyewitness has come forward and supported claims by the family of Colum Marks that he was shot after being arrested in April 1991.
The police ombudsman has said he will launch an investigation into the circumstances of the killing.
He took the action after receiving new information from the family's lawyers.
The police officer who fired the shots said he believed Marks was armed, and claimed he refused to stop when an attempt was made to arrest him.
The RUC had intelligence that the IRA was planning to launch a mortar attack on a police patrol and were lying in wait when the IRA unit arrived.
Lawyers for his family have said the advance knowledge police had about the attack meant they should have been in a position to arrest him without opening fire.
The police claimed Marks ignored a number of warnings to stop and was shot because it was feared he posed a threat.
No gun was ever found, and his family claimed Marks was shot after being arrested.
Lawyers for the family had been taking legal action in a bid to force the Police Ombudsman, Michael Maguire, to investigate the circumstances of the killing.
The ombudsman had said he could not do so because the RUC had already investigated the shooting.
But that all changed when an eyewitness came forward two months ago.
The eyewitness has said that on the night of the shooting he saw a man, believed to have been Colum Marks, being walked along a street under police guard.
He said it was clear the man was under arrest, and that three RUC officers were with him.
That completely contradicts the police version of events.
Lawyers for the Marks family disclosed the new information to the ombudsman.
Their legal action was withdrawn in the High Court on Thursday after it was revealed that the ombudsman has now decided to launch a new investigation.
The decision was welcomed by one of the family's legal representatives.
"This new information fundamentally undermines the police account of what happened," said Gavin Booth.
"It supports the family's claim that Colum was shot after being arrested, at a time when police must have known he was not armed, and that this was clearly a shoot-to-kill operation."
In a statement, the police ombudsman said an assessment of the case will now be carried out to establish when the investigation can begin.
Robson, 22, has struggled with a wrist injury over the past 18 months and made her first appearance since August at the BNP Paribas Open on 11 March.
She lost to Magdalena Rybarikova in the first round at Indian Wells.
Meanwhile, British wildcard Katie Swan lost 6-2 4-6 6-2 to American Sam Crawford in qualifying.
The 16-year-old had beaten world number 102 Lauren Davis but struggled with a tight hamstring against Crawford.
Fellow Briton Naomi Broady also went out in the final round of qualifying, losing 6-4 6-2 to Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich.
James Ward failed to join compatriot Andy Murray in the main draw of the men's event, losing 6-3 6-3 to American Bjorn Fratangelo.
Swan, who is from Bristol but based with her family in the United States, only recently turned professional after choosing tennis over university.
The teenager, who turns 17 on Thursday, fought back to level against Crawford before succumbing in the final set.
"My hamstring started to get really tight and I saw the physio at the end of the set and she taped it up," Swan told BBC Sport.
"It was pretty tight when I was pushing up on my serve, which affects me a little bit."
She added she had learnt a lot from her experience in Miami.
"I'm really glad that I got the chance to play this week because it made me realise I do have the level to compete with the top players," she said.
The ninth instalment of the X Men film series took £2.54m on its second week of release.
Alice Through The Looking Glass, starring Johnny Depp and directed by James Bobin, took £2.23m debuted at number two.
Its predecessor, Alice in Wonderland, took £10.5m in its first week in 2010.
The UK chart mirrors the North American box office, which also saw Alice beaten into second place by X Men on Memorial Day weekend.
Angry Birds, the film based on the popular game, was the third most popular film in the UK, with takings of £919,000.
Jodie Foster's fourth film as a director, Money Monster, entered the UK box office chart at number four after taking £821,000 in its first weekend.
The movie stars George Clooney as a TV financial news presenter who is taken hostage by a gunman live on air.
Another new entry, Love and Friendship, starring Kate Beckinsale, enters at number eight, having taken £263,000 on its opening weekend.
Police said the incident on Monday morning on the town's Howgate Street was now being treated as suspicious.
A full investigation has yet to be conducted to establish the cause of the fire.
However, police now want to trace a car which was stolen from the forecourt prior to the blaze.
The green Vauxhall Corsa - registration number Y585 JFS - was taken some time between 18:30 on Sunday and the time when the fire was discovered, at about 03:50 on Monday.
Det Con Andrew Little said: "We also want people who may have been past the garage on Sunday evening or early Monday morning to get in touch with us if they saw anything suspicious in the Howgate Street area of the town.
"This was a very large fire which has badly damaged not only the garage premises of 24/7 Automotive but also that of the adjacent property of Glass and Glazing.
"A full fire scene examination will take place when the buildings are deemed safe enough to enter."
Mr McGuigan Sr was shot dead at his home in east Belfast last month, and police said members of the Provisional IRA were involved in the killing.
Mr Storey was one of three men, aged 59, 45 and 58, arrested by police in north and west Belfast on Wednesday.
The other two arrested, Eddie Copeland and Brian Gillen, are also well-known republicans.
Mr Storey, a former IRA prisoner, is the northern chairman of Sinn Féin.
In 2005, Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) MP David Burnside told the House of Commons under parliamentary privilege that Mr Storey was the head of intelligence for the IRA.
Mr Storey is a close ally of Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams and has an office at Stormont.
Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said he was "surprised" to learn about Mr Storey's arrest.
"Bobby Storey is a valued member of Sinn Féin's core leadership," the deputy first minister said.
"He has played a leading role in the development of Sinn Féin's peace strategy and is a long-standing and loyal supporter, defender and advocate of the peace and political processes.
"We look forward with confidence to his early release."
The Police Service of Northern Ireland's Chief Constable George Hamilton said last month that Provisional IRA members had a role in Mr McGuigan Sr's murder.
But he added there was no evidence at that stage that the killing had been sanctioned at a senior level of the organisation.
Sinn Féin said the IRA no longer exists after it ordered an end to its armed campaign in 2005.
A total of 16 people have been arrested in connection with Mr McGuigan Sr's murder.
One person has been charged, while the others were released unconditionally.
After Wednesday's arrests, First Minister Peter Robinson tweeted: "These events were predicted in my statement on Monday.
"No-one can be above the law. That is why we sought adjournment of the assembly.
"We will do so again. Hopefully the UUP will support us this time, rather than voting with Sinn Féin for business as usual," he added.
UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said the "political implications could not be more serious and profound".
He said his MPs would meet Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday to discuss the arrests.
"That is how serious it is being treated in Downing Street," he added.
The UUP leader said he had no prior knowledge that the arrests were going to be made, but said he had been "given to believe that the situation could become blacker".
In 2001, Mr Robinson told the House of Commons that Mr Gillen was a member of the IRA's ruling army council.
Mr Copeland is a leading republican from north Belfast.
In 1994, former UUP leader David Trimble used parliamentary privilege in the House of Commons to describe him as an IRA godfather.
A year earlier, he was seriously injured when he was shot by a soldier, and has survived a number of attempts on his life by loyalist paramilitaries.
The three men are being questioned at Antrim police station.
The murder of Mr McGuigan Sr sparked a crisis in Northern Ireland's power-sharing government after the police assessment of IRA involvement.
The UUP said Sinn Féin's denial that the IRA existed made it "impossible to do business with them" and subsequently left the Northern Ireland Executive.
The Democratic Unionist Party said there would be no more meetings of the executive unless in "exceptional circumstances".
A fresh round of talks between the main political parties got under way on Tuesday.
Shepard wrote more than 40 plays and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for Buried Child in 1979.
He went on to be nominated for the best supporting actor Oscar for 1983's The Right Stuff and starred in films like Black Hawk Down as well as co-writing 1984's Paris, Texas.
He died at home in Kentucky on Thursday, his family have confirmed.
Shepard's death came after he experienced complications from motor neurone disease, also known as ALS.
His first major acting role was in Terrence Malik's Days of Heaven in 1978, in which he starred alongside Richard Gere.
Other film credits include Steel Magnolias, The Pelican Brief and The Accidental Husband.
More recently, he was seen as Robert Rayburn in two series of Netflix thriller Bloodline.
Shepard also appears in psychological thriller Never Here, which had its premiere last month.
He was nominated for two other Pulitzers, for Broadway plays Fool for Love and True West. He was also nominated for two Tony Awards.
His final play was A Particle of Dread, which was first performed in Derry/Londonderry in 2013 as part of its year as UK City of Culture.
And he wrote the screenplay for Robert Altman's big screen adaptation of his play Fool for Love. His novel, The One Inside, was published earlier this year.
A spokesman said Shepard's family were with him when he died. He leaves children Jesse, Hannah and Walker Shepard and sisters Sandy and Roxanne Rogers.
Tributes have been paid from the worlds of film, theatre and TV.

Christopher Cambray, 42, from Shrewley in Warwickshire, pleaded guilty to six sexual offences against children. He was jailed for four years and two month at Birmingham Crown Court.
The charges included sexual activity with a child and making indecent images of children.
Cambray was an award-winning sergeant with Warwickshire Police.
As well as a custodial sentence, he was also sentenced to five years on licence and handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order prohibiting unsupervised contact with any child under 18 years of age, which runs for life unless lifted by a court order.
Following his arrest in September 2014, Cambray was immediately suspended by Warwickshire Police and dismissed by Chief Constable Martin Jelley after a special case hearing in July.
Det Supt Gary Watson, of Warwickshire Police, said the force is "completely focused" on the victim, adding Cambray's actions were not representative of the behaviour of other officers.
"It is distressing for all concerned when [an officer] is found guilty of a crime that is amongst one of the most challenging and incomprehensible with which we deal," he said.
"We would like to reassure the public that the great majority of people in policing act with honesty and integrity."
The skeleton belongs to a small, plant-eating dinosaur which lived 200 million years ago - at the beginning of the Jurassic Period.
Although this species was widespread at the time, scientists have largely had to rely on incomplete fossils.
The analysis was carried out at the ESRF facility in Grenoble, France, and showed that the specimen was juvenile.
The skeleton is too small and fragile, and the rocks around it too hard, to allow it to be studied by conventional means.
In addition, the rock matrix in which the fossil is preserved contains trapped minerals which prevented it from being scanned in a standard CT scanner.
The specimen was discovered in a stream bed on a farm in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa by palaeontologist Billy de Klerk.
"There's still a lot we don't know about early plant-eating dinosaurs," said Prof Jonah Choiniere from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"We need new specimens like this one and new technology like the synchrotron to fill in those gaps."
Prof Choiniere, along with Dr Vincent Fernandez, from the ESRF (European Synchrotron), scanned the specimen with high-powered X-rays to understand how the species, Heterodontosaurus tucki, ate, moved, and breathed.
Scanning the fist-sized skull might allow the scientists to perform a 3D reconstruction of the animal's brain, offering insights into its lifestyle - including its sense of smell, and whether it was capable of complex behaviours.
The scientists think the diminutive dinosaur used its back teeth to grind down plant food. In other animals with similar anatomy, this requires the teeth to be replaced due to wear and tear.
The team members said they can now begin testing this theory and others regarding the dinosaur's biology and behaviour.

Wenger, 67, has been criticised by some fans after Arsenal slipped to sixth in the Premier League following four defeats in their past five games.
A 10-2 aggregate loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League added to the pressure on the Frenchman.
But Wenger said: "I will not retire. Retiring is for young people."
Wenger's contract expires at the end of the season but he has been offered a new two-year deal. He says he will make a decision on his future "very soon".
"For old people retirement is dying," added Wenger, speaking before Sunday's Premier League match at home to Manchester City.
"I still watch every football game. I find it interesting."
Wenger is into his 21st year as Arsenal manager but he has not led the Gunners to a Premier League title in 13 years.
"Of course I'm as hungry," he said. "I carry a bit more pressure on my shoulders than 20 years ago but the hunger is exactly the same.
"When you see what the club was and what it is today - when I arrived we were seven people [members of staff], we are 700 today."
He added: "I hate defeat. I can understand the fans that are unhappy with every defeat but the only way to have victory is to stick together with the fans and give absolutely everything until the end of the season, that's all we can do."
The Nigerian judge due to oversee the seven-member panel was not available till then, he said.
Longstanding ruler President Yahya Jammeh, 51, initially accepted defeat but later rejected the result.
It is not yet clear what will happen after Mr Jammeh's term ends on 18 January.
President-elect Adama Barrow is due to be inaugurated the following day. But Mr Jammeh has said he will not step down and he has the support of the head of the army.
West African leaders, led by Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari, are due to in the capital, Banjul, on Friday in a last-ditch diplomatic effort to resolve the crisis. The visit was originally scheduled for Wednesday.
But Mr Jammeh has so far rebuffed their attempts, saying they have no right to interfere.
Mr Jammeh lodged a case before the Supreme Court after the electoral commission changed some results. The commission insists the outcome was not affected by an initial error and property developer Mr Barrow defeated Mr Jammeh.
The Supreme Court hearing had already been delayed once because of a shortage of sitting judges, and other judges from neighbouring countries have since been appointed.
But the Nigerian who was to act as the president of the court - Onogeme Uduma - is fully booked until May.
However the existence of the legal challenge means the election result is not valid, a spokesman for Mr Jammeh's APRC party said.
"Any attempt to swear in anybody in this circumstance is against the constitution," Seedy Njie told the BBC.
Meanwhile, one of Mr Jammeh's top ministers, Sheriff Bojang, who has just resigned in protest over the president's refusal to accept defeat, urged him to drop the petition.
"The current attempts while appearing to have a veneer of constitutionalism are in fact an attempt to subvert the express will of the Gambian electorate," the former information minister said in a statement.
He urged Mr Jammeh and his cabinet colleagues "to look into their conscience and take the right decision within the most reasonable time for the present and future of our vulnerable little Gambia".
Of his own defection after two years of acting as a mouthpiece for Mr Jammeh's government, Mr Bojang said: "It is never too late to do the right thing."
Gambian state TV said Mr Bojang had been sacked.
The Gambia, a popular tourist destination, has not had a smooth transfer of power since independence from Britain in 1965.
Mr Jammeh seized power in the tiny country in 1994 and has been accused of human rights abuses, although he has held regular elections.
According to the electoral commission's final count:
Results were revised by the electoral commission on 5 December, when it emerged that the ballots for one area had been added incorrectly.

He faces Bristol's Lee Haskins, who won the interim title earlier in the year, at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Caballero is unbeaten in 22 fights, but the American has been out of the ring for more than a year through injury.
"I've been gone for a year but I'm back, I'm hungry and I'm going to defend my title," said Caballero.
He beat Stuart Hall last year to claim the vacant IBF belt, while Haskins, 32, took his record to 32 victories and three defeats with his win over Japan's Ryosuke Iwasa.

"He is a tough guy and there is a reason why he is mandatory challenger," Caballero said.
"He is coming a long way to win my title but I've trained way too hard, I'm ready and I'm going to make sure that belt stays wrapped around my waist."
The fight was added to the undercard of the WBC middleweight title contest between Miguel Cotto and Saul Alvarez last month.
And Caballero added: "To be on a card like this is a dream come true and I'm ready to put on a great performance,
"I promise it is going to be a brand new Randy Caballero on Saturday and I'm going to show you why I'm world champion."
Haskins, though, has vowed to return to Bristol a world champion and said: "Every boxer who gets into the sport wants to fight in Vegas. A few years ago I never thought I would have a chance like this.
"I'm in great shape and we are looking to put on a great fight."
A £1.5m grant will fund the plans in Anglesey, Bangor, Cardiff, Cardigan, Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley and Tregaron in Ceredigion.
It will take the total number of Welsh language centres to 10.
Mr Jones said they offered "wide-ranging opportunities" for people to use Welsh at "grass roots level".
"Already we've seen some exciting centres being developed across Wales thanks to the Capital Investment grant, demonstrating our commitment to seeing the language thrive in our communities," he said.
The Cardiff centre will be run alongside the Cardiff Story museum at The Old Library on The Hayes in the city centre. | A survivor of last year's massacre at a South Carolina church has told a jury how the gunman told her to shut up as she prayed during the shooting.

About 50 others are in hospital and at least 20 are in a critical condition following the tubectomy operations.
Health camps are staged throughout India to control its huge population.
More people live in the country than in the US, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and Bangladesh combined.
The 2011 census shows that the country's population is now 1.21 billion, which means that India is on course to overtake China as the world's most populous nation by 2030.
The tubectomies were carried out on Saturday in Pendari village in Bilaspur district.
Chhattisgarh health officials quoted by the Hindustan Times denied any responsibility for the deaths, but some suggested that medics were under pressure from the authorities to perform too much sterilisation surgery in too little time.
State Chief Minister Raman Singh was reported by the newspaper to have suspended four senior health officials over the deaths, while a complaint to police has been filed against the surgeon who allegedly performed the operations.
Mr Singh said that initial evidence suggested that the deaths were caused by medical negligence.
"A detailed inquiry will be conducted into it keeping in view all the angles, including the quality of the medicines at the camp, standard of the surgery, post-operative measures and others," the chief minister was quoted as saying.
The state government has also said that compensation will be paid to the affected families.
Chhattisgarh Health Minister Shripad Naik could not say by when the report would be submitted, only that it would be completed "soon".
Most of those operated on in state-run sterilisation camps are women - many of them poor and often being paid to be sterilised.
Villagers say 83 women - all between the ages of 26 and 40 - were operated on in just six hours by one doctor and his assistant.
Reports say the women started complaining of pain and fever soon afterwards. A relative described the conditions at the clinic as "a desolate place" with "appalling" facilities.
Preliminary examinations showed the deaths had been caused by infection or shock as a result of blood loss, state deputy health director Amar Singh told the Press Trust of India news agency.
But health officials told BBC Hindi that the cause of the deaths would be known only after post-mortem reports were available.
Correspondents say all the women came from very poor families. Those who survived are receiving treatment in three different hospitals in the district.
Among those suspended is a doctor who won a government award last year for having conducted 50,000 sterilisations, says BBC Hindi's Alok Putul.
Botched sterilisation operations are nothing new in India.
In January 2012, three men were arrested in Bihar state for operating on 53 women in two hours. The men had carried out operations in a field and without the use of anaesthesia.
Female sterilisation works by sealing the fallopian tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the womb. This can be done using clips, clamps or small rings or by tying and cutting the tube - this stops the egg and sperm meeting, so pregnancy can't occur.
Eggs will still be released from the ovaries as normal, but they will be reabsorbed by the body instead.
The procedure is very effective and straightforward when carried out correctly and by a highly trained professional. But it is not without risks.
It requires an anaesthetic and there is a risk of damage to other organs during the procedure. There can be bleeding and infection too. It should also be considered permanent - it is difficult to reverse.
Authorities in India have been promoting family planning for several decades, trying to convince people to have smaller families.
Why do Indian women go to sterilisation camps?
Sterilisation camps are frequently held to carry out mass tubectomy operations for women - or vasectomies for men - and in some states, health workers receive money for each person they bring to a clinic to be sterilised.
Reports say a sum of about $20 was given to each of the women at the Bilaspur district camp.
The decision to be sterilised is voluntary, although in some cases women are put under pressure by officials. Figures show the vast majority opting for sterilisations are poor women from rural areas.
India abandoned a nationwide campaign in the 1970s after complaints that thousands of men and women had been forced into having the operations. Successive governments have failed to control India's population growth rate, which stands at 1.6% a year.
Public Health England (PHE) said it was investigating 11 confirmed cases following visits to Huntley's Country Store, Samlesbury, near Preston.
PHE advised anyone feeling unwell after attending a lambing event staged at the farm outlet between 29 March and 24 April to seek medical help.
It said the farm store no longer posed a risk to the public.
The health body said three people remained in hospital following complications from the E. coli O157 infection. A fourth person has been discharged and is recovering at home.
Source: Public Health England
PHE said all contact between animals and the public at the premises had now ceased so there was no longer any risk to the public.
PHE consultant for Cumbria and Lancashire Dr Ken Lamden said the outbreak is believed to have started before Easter.
"Investigations are still on going and all public health measures have been put in place," he said.
"The owners are co-operating fully and we are working closely with them and with colleagues across health and local authorities."
He said symptoms of E. coli O157 included bloody diarrhoea, which could be serious, or milder forms of the infection which are usually "self-limiting" and clear within seven days.
Dr Lamden said the best protection against E. coli O157 was thorough handwashing particularly after contact with animals, after going to the toilet, after handling raw meat products and before eating.
The pupils do not look twice at the camera or recording equipment; TV and radio crews are here all the time.
In the playground some of the children whisper in English.
They know they should not be speaking the language, even though the school is in the very heart of the British Isles.
About 70 pupils attend Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, the world's only Manx-speaking school.
The primary school is situated in St John's village in the Isle of Man and the children are taught all their lessons solely in Manx Gaelic.
"We weren't sure where to start," says head teacher Julie Matthews.
"We thought we'd go across to Northern Ireland, have a look and see what's there, because the Northern Irish Gaelic is similar to the Manx Gaelic.
"We went to Belfast, looked at the Cultúrlann (cultural centre), went to two or three schools there, and had a really good time, finding out what they do," she says.
Their fact-finding trip took them to schools in Ballycastle, County Antrim, and Rathlin Island off the Antrim coast.
Staff at Bunscoill Ghaelgagh are now helping to lead a revival of Manx Gaelic in the Isle of Man.
In the 1980s, just a few dozen speakers of Manx remained.
By 2009, a United Nations report incorrectly stated the language was extinct; a claim the UN has since amended.
There are now hundreds of speakers, and the number is growing.
Manx Gaelic has the full support of the island's government and can be seen on everything from street signs to buses.
Fluent speakers are still modest in number but the revival has not proven to be culturally divisive.
On the contrary, it is embraced by the vast majority of residents. This is perhaps surprising, as half the island's population was not born there.
The support for Manx Gaelic is catching the attention of influential figures in Northern Ireland, including Prof Ailbhe Ó Corráin, who is head of Irish and Celtic Studies at the University of Ulster.
"One thing that we could really learn from both Scotland and the Isle of Man is to see the Gaelic languages as something that is not political, that is not the preserve of any particular faction, political grouping, political ideology or viewpoint, or of any particular religion," he says.
Pupils of the Bunscoill have the choice to continue to learn in Manx when they progress to high school, but the available subjects and resources are limited.
This is something the education authorities are trying to develop.
"When they ran out of Manx to teach me they started teaching me Irish," says Christopher Lewin, who has spoken Manx since an early age.
"I then did a GCSE in Irish from an exam board in Belfast.
"Irish, Manx and Scottish Gaelic are very similar to each other, you can almost call them dialects.
"If you know Irish already, you'll find Manx strange for a while, but it's fairly easy to get into and vice versa," he says.
The island also has a series of popular pre-school groups called Mooinjer Veggey, which have a strong Gaelic ethos.
So what is the secret to the language's revival?
Every senior figure in teaching I spoke to said the same: Manx is not forced on students.
People who want to learn the language come to it organically and it is not imposed on those who have no interest in it.
The Bunscoill Ghaelgagh recently celebrated its 13th anniversary and the Manx education service is continuing to expand.
When the last native speaker, Ned Maddrell, died in the 1970s some people declared the beginning of the end for Manx Gaelic.
It seems they, like the UN, have been proved wrong.

Drinking and bathing in dirty water can be fatal but there are those who have decided now is the time to use simple solutions to change the situation.
In India, Matthew Wheeler and Priti Gupta paid a visit to the country's famous "Water Doctor", while Zoe Flood found out how entrepreneurs in East Africa are helping their communities access clean water.
Ayyappa Masagi has a simple message: "You want water? Call me!" Thousands have. And his phone rings dozens of times a day. There appears to be an endless supply of patients for the man nicknamed India's "Water Doctor".
"I faced a lot of water problems in my childhood," he says. "I used to go at 3am to fetch water from the stream. So I made an oath that when I grew up I would find a solution. So I quit my job as a mechanical engineer in 2002 to solve India's water problem."
India is enduring a catastrophic water crisis. About 330 million people are suffering water shortages after the failure of the last two monsoons. Reservoirs are dry. Farmers have committed suicide. Thousands of drought-stricken villagers have flocked to cities, desperate for water, praying for rain.
According to Mr Masagi's calculations, if just 30% of India's rainwater were captured and stored, "one year's rain would sustain the nation for three years."
To prove it, in 2014 he bought 84 acres of barren land near Chilamathur, a famously drought-prone region of Andhra Pradesh, 110km northeast of Bangalore. "The wind here was like a firewind. I told my partners, 'Within one year I will make this land a water bowl.'"
Today, a network of 25,000 sand-filled pits and four new lakes capture and store any rainwater that falls here. No drop is allowed to escape into rivers and run off to the sea. It stays on and in the land, keeping the subsoil charged with water which, when needed, is drawn from five shallow bore-wells.
The topsoil from digging out the lakes has helped level the land, which has been planted with trees and crops. Roughly 60% of the trees will form dense forest, while 40% will be fruit trees to generate income. Grains and vegetables have also been planted, and next year there will be a dairy here too. The plan is to make this a sustainable organic farm, totally self-sufficient for all its water needs.
Through his Water Literacy Foundation, Mr Masagi is training "water warriors" to spread his message. He's already written seven books and trained more than 100 interns from India and abroad, including Germany, Japan and the US.
"If you only talk, nothing will happen. You have to do something and prove it. Governments are coming forward to take up my service, replicating my model. Once the community attitude changes, our political attitudes change, we can replicate this concept throughout the world."

Special Report: Changing the Rules
Curious passers-by stop in at a tent outside Belinda Nagawa's franchise in Nansana, Kampala to sip cups of Jibu water, filtered in an advanced mini-water treatment plant installed on site.
"I was working with another franchise as a manager," says the 21-year-old. "I had to get more involved myself in order to become a franchise owner."
Galen Welsch, CEO of the organisation, explains: "The franchisees come to us and they co-invest a licensing fee.
"Then we invest in the full build-out of the franchise, which is a production room and a high-visibility retail space. As they sell water, we charge them per litre they sell and that is how we recover the capital expenditure that we invested in the franchise launch."
The business targets people who previously boiled their drinking water, by offering a cost-effective and safe alternative that is produced on location.
Various bottle sizes line the shelves of Belinda Nagawa's new shop - Jibu distributes water in reusable bottles for which customers put down a small deposit.
"Most people take water from the tap and then boil it," says Mr Welsch. "The cost of boiling when you pay for charcoal or gas or electricity is actually quite high and boiling doesn't remove any sort of contaminants in the water."
Jibu piloted its model in Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, but has since worked to launch in Kenya after the DR Congo pilot failed.
"We've gone from two franchises that were fully functional at the beginning of 2015 to 22 today, and then about 15 microfranchises and subfranchisees. These are a pipeline for new franchises," says Mr Welsch.
"Our top-performing franchises are selling more than 5,000 litres a day and generating revenues of $120,000-$140,000 (£83,000-£97,000) a year - the margin they work on is 20-30%."
Microfranchises operate as resellers or points of sale for the main franchises and also give both the entrepreneurs and Jibu the chance to test each other out.
"Someone who is interested in working with us has to first own an outlet where the model involves buying water from an existing franchise and then resell it in their community," explains Daphne Tashobya, lead controller of Jibu Uganda.
"You don't do the water filtration right away - you test yourself to see if you are really interested in the business and you also start learning a few things such as how to keep your books."

Cook, 32, will reportedly meet England director of cricket Andrew Strauss this week to discuss his position.
Hameed, 19, opened alongside Cook during the Test tour of India before he had to return home with a broken hand.
"Everyone in the changing room backs him and will back whatever decision he makes," said Hameed.
"If he feels he is the right man to take English cricket forward, he will have everyone's support."
England were beaten 4-0 in India last month and, after the final Test, former opener Geoffrey Boycott called for Cook to step down as skipper, while ex-captain Michael Vaughan said he was "very close" to quitting.
Essex left-hander Cook, who is England's all-time leading Test run scorer, said he needs to "go home and do some thinking" about his future, with vice-captain Joe Root tipped to take over.
Hameed, nominated as young player of the year at the British Ethnic Diversity Sports Awards (Bedsa), told BBC Sport: "It is pretty evident to see what Cook has done for English cricket. He has been an unbelievable performer and has been a great leader for England.
"If he feels someone else is better equipped to do that job, everyone will respect that decision because everything he has done has been for the betterment of English cricket."
I have learnt a hell of a lot in the last couple of months
Hameed became only the second teenager to play for England since 1949 when selected for the opening Test against India in Rajkot. In the second innings, he fell just 18 runs short of making a century on debut.
He made 59 not out batting with a broken hand in the third Test but was forced to return home early from the tour to have surgery.
His replacement, Keaton Jennings, then made 112 on his debut.
"It was good to see Keaton go out there and play," said Hameed. "It shows the confidence in the county system and it is great for English cricket to have two relatively young guys go out there on their debut tours and do well.
"I really enjoyed playing against the number one side in the world in their conditions. It was always going to be a challenge for all of us, but for me to have got the exposure and the experience under my belt, it will do me a lot of good and I have learnt a hell of a lot in the last couple of months.
"Making my debut for England in India, in my dad's home state of Gujarat, the way things aligned was definitely a call of destiny."
Last month, Lancashire head coach Ashley Giles left to rejoin Warwickshire as sport director.
Giles led Lancashire to promotion into County Championship Division One and a maiden T20 Blast title in 2015.
Hameed said: "He left for family reasons so you can't really knock him for that. It is important we make sure we move on.
"Giles gave me my first-class debut at 18 and stuck with me. He was great like that, any coach who gives you your first opportunity will always be in a high place for you.
"He is someone I respect and I am sure he will go well at Warwickshire."
Hameed's achievements in the last year have seen him nominated for the Bedsa award, organised by Sporting Equals. England team-mate Moeen Ali won the sportsman of the year award at the inaugural event in 2015.
This year, double Rio Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah and silver medallist Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill have been nominated, as well as Brighton manager Chris Hughton and hockey gold medallist Sam Quek.
Hameed said: "The fact you get recognised for what you do is a great feeling. It is a massive honour."

The Spitfires lost 1-0 to Macclesfield on Tuesday to drop to 15th place and go seven games without a league win.
Allen joined Eastleigh from Barnet on 1 December, but won just two of his matches and leaves the club searching for a fourth manager of the season.
The 51-year-old failed to win a single home game and admitted after the National League loss to Macclesfield that he "was not enjoying it".
Allen, who guided Barnet to the National League title in 2015, becomes the third manager to depart this campaign after Chris Todd and Ronnie Moore.
His brief stint at the south coast side, which lasted just 84 days, saw 19 players move on from the club and 13 more brought in.
Following Tuesday's third straight league defeat which left them nine points above the relegation zone, Allen criticised his players.
"I've stood back and watched some games here, watched our team play and it's been awful, nowhere near good enough," he told BBC Radio Solent.
"It's not acceptable to me; it's not acceptable to the chairman.
"I've had two clubs win championships, with Gillingham and at Barnet, and it's been through hard work, desire and everybody in the team competing week in, week out. I'm not getting that here at the moment and I'm not enjoying it.
"I haven't got the vibe. I love the place, I love working with the chairman, I love the atmosphere when the crowd do get behind the players, but the players haven't given the crowd anything to lift them."

Peter Pawlett slid in the first and was denied a second when his close-range shot was parried, but Anthony O'Connor tapped in the rebound.
Jonny Hayes raced clear and slotted the ball inside the near post, then Niall McGinn fired in a fourth.
Rory McKenzie tapped in a consolation before Hayes rounded Killie goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald to make it five.
You would imagine Aberdeen were running riot from the start, but Kilmarnock more than matched them initially and had the better chances early on.
It was short lived, though, and they were ultimately swept aside by the rampant hosts and the result was in no doubt by half-time.
The opener came at a good time for the hosts, when they were not overly creative and fans were anxious for a lift after recent defeats.
Graeme Shinnie's right-foot shot from a central position was not as true as it might have been, but Pawlett had anticipated the direction of the ball and his touch took it away from goalkeeper MacDonald.
Pawlett saw MacDonald produce an outstanding close-range save, but the ball dropped to O'Connor who could not miss from a couple of yards.
It got even better as an excellent move saw Adam Rooney brilliantly release Hayes on the left, who showed great pace to surge into the box, hold off a challenge and finish.
A fourth arrived through the guile of McGinn, who cut in from the left, saw his first shot blocked but it came back to him in space and the shot was low and on target.
To rub salt in the wounds, Hayes netted his second late on - slotting home from close range after dancing into the six-yard box.
Having reached the top six with a game in hand over some of those below, this was a chance for Kilmarnock to really boost their prospects this season - but it proved a bridge way too far.
Souleymane Coulibaly, Greg Taylor and McKenzie all had early opportunities and they looked to have a good balance between being solid at the back and threatening going forward.
It fell apart and once three behind there was little hope of a comeback.
It was a touch surprising as Lee Clark's side have seemed far more organised and tight at the back.
MacDonald denied Aberdeen a fourth in the first half with a brilliant fingertip save to foil James Maddison.
Credit to the visitors for notching a consolation. Substitute Nathan Tyson cut back to McKenzie who confidently finished.
Some sides just do not seem to like playing particular teams - and for Kilmarnock, Aberdeen are definitely one of them.
Now an important trip to Motherwell awaits.
Aberdeen assistant Tony Docherty: "The boys were terrific. Very clinical in the final third.
"It doesn't surprise myself or the manager; the character and spirit of that squad - that's the kind of response you get from any kind of criticism they've had.
"I thought they went out tonight and answered a lot of critics and I'm just please we're back to winning ways.
"It was a tough one tonight. Our overall performance was outstanding."
Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark: "We started very well, created numerous chances and made them look nervy.
"They get a goal and we seem to fold defensively.
"We carried too many passengers. I had some excellent individual performances which might seem strange when you've lost 5-1.
"We were easy to play against. We've just been lambs to the slaughter.
"It looked to me like we had a couple of players who got a little bit giddy because we got a positive result on Saturday. Football doesn't work like that."

In Pictures: Lara's Way
Lara Croft Way is part of the city's new £36.2m inner ring road system designed to improve traffic flow.
The name was chosen from a shortlist by public vote, with 89% of those polled opting for the character devised by Derby-based game studio Core Design.
Another stretch of the network will be named Mercian Way after the local army regiment.
The ring road is part of the Connecting Derby scheme, a long-term project to improve transport links in the area.
Councillor Matthew Holmes, cabinet member for planning and environment, said: "The opening of Lara Croft Way signifies another major milestone of the Connecting Derby scheme which is fast approaching completion after many years of hard work by a great number of terrific individuals.
"Derby is proud of its place in a vibrant creative industry and Lara Croft Way is fantastic way to celebrate that."
The completion of Lara Croft Way will allow drivers to access Burton Road, Babington Lane and Normanton Road via the new roundabout at the junction of Burton Road and Normanton Road.
The Inner Ring Road project is due to be fully completed at the start of 2011.
Gavin Shuker is MP for Luton South.
He told BBC Newsnight: "In recent weeks, when I've spoken up about this issue, I felt extremely pressured to be silent on the things I know to be true."
The Labour Party said any complaints or evidence of sexism or intimidation were dealt with fairly.
Mr Shuker raised his concerns in response to claims made by the charity Muslim Women's Network UK (MWN UK) concerning the "blocking" of vocal, independent Muslim women by male members of the Labour Party who are of Pakistani heritage.
MWN UK has called for an inquiry by the party into "systematic misogyny" within Labour.
Mr Shuker says: "I've been disappointed with the response of the Labour Party.
"I would like robust action from the leadership - both from the NEC and from the leader of the Labour Party to say 'If there are these practices, we will take time to root them out.'
"When people come forward with legitimate concerns, they should be backed, not silenced.
"This is not just a moral imperative; it's an electoral imperative. We can't carry on treating the Muslim community as fools - we need to serve up great candidates at every single level. The community knows when there are abuses of power."
Since its calls for an inquiry, MWN UK says it has heard of "sinister elements" within the party that leave women "fearing for their lives".
One Asian woman, a former Labour councillor, agreed to be interviewed by BBC Newsnight as long as her identity was kept hidden. She claimed Pakistani-heritage councillors on the English council where she served, who are still sitting councillors, regularly protect corrupt Asian businessmen.
On one occasion, "Zahara" says, the police presented councillors with a sexually explicit video as they ruled on whether to shut down a club.
She told Newsnight: "The decision ultimately should have been to close the establishment down because of inappropriate behaviours going on of a sexual nature between young white girls and Asian males that was being shown on the video.
"I was clearly told to stop questioning by a hand gesture and nudge by senior male councillors that were Asian who were sitting next to me… I was told: 'Do you know who it is? It's a very prominent Asian businessman that supports us'."
This woman claims that, on this occasion and many others, because she refused to do as these powerful councillors of Pakistani heritage demanded, they got her deselected.
When she arrived at the selection meeting, it was full of Asian people she had never seen before. "They're in the pocket of influential male councillors," she recalls.
"They were told to be there… and to vote a certain way. There were two or three young Asian males who found the courage to call me and say 'It's an absolute travesty, what happened.' I sent letters of complaint to the regional office and to head office of Labour and I was told there was no case to answer."
In some cases, the Labour Party has put individual wards into "special measures". That effectively means the selection process is taken out of local hands.
That has happened in Oldham where Arooj Shah is a councillor, though there is still resistance from some Labour members in her predominately Asian area, to a Muslim woman representing them
Cllr Shah says: "There's Labour Party members who will accept my two colleagues, Asian men, but support anyone but me. They're members of the local Labour party. They are shameless about it… It's because I'm a woman and anyone who sugar-coats it is lying."
Her ward colleagues are Muslim men and get far bigger majorities than she does. One, Cllr Shadab Qumer, described conversations he's had with local Labour members: "Some of them come up with derogatory comments, like 'Oh, she's a Muslim woman. She shouldn't be representing us.'
"Some of us have dragged them onside. We've got to integrate; where in Islam does it say a female can't represent us? It's a cultural thing, we've fought it."
Newsnight has spoken to other women who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of repercussions. Many talked of clan politics perpetrated by these patriarchal communities, the so-called "biraderi", imported from the south Asian subcontinent, in which votes are delivered in blocks.
Many said threats and intimidation were used to force them out of politics.
One woman said: "I was standing to be a councillor and the big man of the Asian councillors came to my house to convince my husband to get me to stop down. It was frightening… They were threatening and scaring my family into getting me to step aside."
Another said: "I complained to Labour branch but they sided with the men. These men told them they would get more votes and members for them. My life was made hell after the complaint. The aggression was too much to bear.
"I'm a single mum and was worried about my daughter's safety. These men were capable of anything. In the end, I was deselected, despite all my commitment to the party."
Another ex-councillor explained how she was ousted: "I've no doubt I was deselected by Pakistani clan politics. There were around 100 people in the room. One of the local councillors had been recruiting family and friends to deselect me."
Muslim Women's Network UK (MWN UK) has written again to Jeremy Corbyn, saying it is "disappointed and unsatisfied" with Labour's response to the charity's calls for an inquiry.
In the letter, MWN UK says: "It would appear that our complaint is being tagged on to an existing Labour Party agenda item, and therefore that it is not being taken seriously and given the attention it deserves.
"The standard, lacklustre nature of the response received from the Labour Party is disappointing and undermines the women who have been brave enough to come forward and share their experiences.
"Such a response will not give women the confidence to come forward and speak to Labour Party officials in future."
MWN UK's Shaista Gohir told Newsnight: "What's worrying, these men have become a law unto themselves. That can't be in a vacuum, it's been going on for decades. Muslim men are saying to us 'We're glad you are saying what we've all known about. It just gets brushed under the carpet by senior Labour officials.'"
The Labour Party said it had been "at the forefront of the fight for women's equality".
It added: "We have transformed the representation of women in politics and championed equality for women in the workplace.
"Any complaints or evidence of sexism, intimidation, received by the Labour Party are dealt with fairly, according to our procedures and the law.
"Labour Party elected representatives are expected to maintain the highest standards of behaviour and conduct at all times.
"Any allegations of individual elected representatives whose behaviour falls short of that should be reported to the Labour Party or the appropriate authorities."

Jonathan Barnett claimed the 25-year-old Welshman is suffering because of a lack of help from other Real players.
"This is a world in which a lot of people talk and sometimes they talk too much," said Ancelotti.
"Bale has never had problems with his team-mates and his team-mates have never had problems with Bale."
Bale is the world's most expensive player after being signed in a £85.3m deal from Premier League side Tottenham in September 2013.
The ex-Southampton trainee scored 24 goals in 46 games during his debut season, helping Madrid win the Champions League and Copa del Rey.
But he has been jeered by some supporters this season and has faced heavy criticism from sections of the Spanish press.
Bale, who has scored 15 goals in 44 matches this season, also came under scrutiny for his display in last week's Champions League semi-final defeat at Juventus.
"Bale's agent, who has never been to one of our training sessions, who doesn't know the atmosphere we have, spoke from outside," added Ancelotti, before Wednesday's return leg where Madrid are aiming to overturn a 2-1 deficit.
"It would have been better to stay quiet. We are happy with Bale's season."
From allegations of keeping its currency artificially low to boost exports to the labelling of some of its firms as a security threat, China's growth has put the relationship between the world's two biggest economies to the test.
And with both President Barack Obama and his challenger Mitt Romney promising to put further pressure on China, the tests are only likely to get tougher.
Add to the mix the fact that China is also set for a once-in-a-decade leadership change over the next few days. Its new leaders will be keen to stamp their authority not just on the domestic front, but also on the global stage.
This could potentially see both sides taking hardline stands on a range of trade issues which have been the focus of debate between them in recent times:
The warning came in a memo from chief press secretary Bernard Ingham setting out her strengths and weaknesses.
Other papers from 1985 contain reports of a Commons "scuffle" between Labour MP Robert Kilroy-Silk and future party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Plans to exclude Mrs Thatcher from the unveiling of a Falklands War memorial at St Paul's Cathedral also feature.
The Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust is in charge of the gradual release of her private files.
Mr Ingham's five-page memo to Mrs Thatcher states that she had gained a reputation among the public of being "hectoring, strident and bossy".
On the positive side he described her as a "decisive, strong-minded person" and "someone who is clearly going to be very hard to beat".
"In short, you remain the dominant person in British politics," he added.
Mr Ingham tried to get her to change her style for the Conservative Party conference in Blackpool but she declined to use words such as "compassion" and "caring" in her speech.
Chris Collins, from the trust, said: "Her public image was so fixed that she couldn't win - if she had suddenly shown a softer side, people would not have believed it."
The spat between Mr Corbyn and Mr Kilroy-Silk is detailed in a press digest dated 31 October 1985.
Coverage at the time suggested Mr Kilroy-Silk had attempted to punch Mr Corbyn.
Earlier this year Mr Corbyn told the Guardian Mr Kilroy-Silk was angered by him arguing on television against the expulsion of members of hard-left Militant Tendency group from the party. Mr Corbyn added that he had "walked off".
An exchange of memos and letters reveal that the Church of England and Downing Street clashed over proposals to exclude Mrs Thatcher from the Falklands ceremony.
She is said to have responded "explosively" after being told ecclesiastical protocol and limited space meant there would not be room for politicians in the cathedral's crypt for the memorial unveiling by the Queen.
Mrs Thatcher had accused the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, of a lack of patriotism for praying for the Argentine dead in 1982.
Her Principal Private Secretary Robin Butler wrote: "Let me have a word. I think that the PM should be present at the unveiling."
But the then Defence Secretary Michael Heseltine signed off the arrangement - he later apologised, saying: "I am satisfied that this matter was not well handled."
The documents do not make clear what the outcome was or whether Mrs Thatcher attended.
The papers also say Mrs Thatcher considered a comeback to the cabinet for Cecil Parkinson in 1985.
The married trade and industry secretary had been forced to stand down in 1983 after it emerged his former secretary Sara Keays was carrying his child. He did eventually return to the cabinet in 1987.

Emma Madigan was received by Pope Francis, the Vatican said in a statement.
The Irish government closed the embassy in November 2011 citing economic reasons.
However, the move was widely viewed as a snub to the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
The closure of the embassy followed an unprecedented attack by the Irish prime minister on Vatican authorities over their response to a clerical child abuse inquiry.
Enda Kenny accused the Vatican of trying to whitewash an inquiry into child sex abuse committed between 1996 and 2006.
He said the Cloyne Report "exposed the dysfunction, disconnection, elitism and narcissism" in the Vatican.
The Vatican denounced the actions of offending priests in Ireland but denied having tried to interfere in the report.
Mr Clifford, 73, who was jailed in 2014 under Operation Yewtree, said: "I was found guilty... I know I'm innocent."
He was giving evidence on the first day of his defence for allegedly indecently assaulting a 17-year-old girl more than three decades ago, which he denies.
He said he had hired investigators to help prove his innocence.
"I know I was not guilty. One of the things I have learned is you're guilty until you're proven innocent when sexual offences are involved," he told Southwark Crown Court.
"I have had the money to be able to employ private investigators for this trial. They are all ex-Met Police."
Asked what he had tasked the private investigators with, Mr Clifford, of Hersham in Surrey, replied: "To tell the truth."
Mr Clifford was given an eight-year prison sentence after being convicted of a number of charges under Operation Yewtree, the Met Police investigation set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Opening his defence, Sarah Forshaw QC said the "odds are stacked against Max Clifford", following his conviction "at the height of the Operation Yewtree hysteria".
The alleged victim in the current trial claimed she was assaulted by Mr Clifford at his Mayfair offices in New Bond Street between October 1981 and May 1982.
He allegedly locked the girl in his office and forced her to engage in a sexual act with him, the jury has heard.
When asked about the allegation, he replied: "There's no way it ever happened. She knows that as well."
He denied having ever made threats to "murder or kill" the victim, who told the court she feared for her life during the alleged incident.
"I am not a bully, it's not my nature," he said. "I stand up for myself and I stand up for others. I wouldn't bully or compromise a 17-year-old."
"But I'm an easy target now," he added.
He told the court he thought the alleged victim's reason for contacting police was financial.
While giving evidence, Mr Clifford spoke about his early career, his marriage and affairs, and his life in prison.
He told jurors prison "was a shock to the system" and he had become "an equalities rep" at the Category C Littlehey Prison in Cambridgeshire.
"I can only compare it to being buried alive," he said. "Having had a very successful living, I have lost everything."
Mr Clifford went on to say he had been transferred to Wandsworth Prison, south-west London, for this trial, where he said he had been kept in his cell for "23-and-a-half hours a day".
He told jurors: "It's a simple cell - no communications, no TVs, radio, it doesn't even have a kettle. When I arrived, the walls were covered in excrement."
Mr Clifford told the court he had helped launch the career of The Beatles, and later worked with several household names, including Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross and Seve Ballesteros.
"I was also employed by Chelsea Football Club because so many of their football stars were getting caught up in scandals," he added.
The alleged victim, who is now married with children, had previously told jurors that Mr Clifford insisted she wore skirts to work and would leave "explicit" Polaroid photographs of women on his desk for her to see.
Under cross-examination from prosecutor Rosina Cottage QC, Mr Clifford denied using a Polaroid camera to take pictures of "wannabe girls".
The defendant said the camera was a gift from a friend, and allowed people in the office - and his daughter and her friends - to take a picture if anyone famous ever showed up.
Responding to the allegation that he used the camera to take pictures of girls who were "desperate to be famous", Mr Clifford replied: "I could have, but I didn't.
"I met a lot of people, male and female, who were desperate. You only have to look at Big Brother."
He said he was passed "maybe 100" Polaroid images of "young women with their legs wide apart" during a 20-year period.
The trial continues.
There was the noise, first of all. Walls and walls of noise. There was the sight of a packed house and a winning Aberdeen team coming together in celebration - and it was powerful. The team answered all the questions we brought with us.
Are they a better footballing side than last season? Yes. Are they stronger psychologically? It would seem so. After four straight losses, are they capable of beating Celtic? They've done it. Are they capable of doing it in adversity? Yes, again.
It was hard to take your eyes off what was happening among the red masses but it was worth it, just to see what some Celtic players were up to. What happened was an illustration of where this team is at right now.
Dedryck Boyata and Nir Bitton went to the referee, Craig Thomson, and gesticulated angrily. Boyata, in particular, was perilously close to losing the plot. The sense of injustice, presumably, came from an incident in the 34th minute when Thomson blundered in not sending off Andrew Considine for the foul that brought Celtic a penalty - and the lead.
Considine should have walked, no question. But, even still, this was a buck-passing exercise from these Celtic players, an attempt to shift the blame to a place - any place - except where the blame truly lay: themselves.
The strong-willed player would have accepted that though Thomson wronged them, their performance was lamentably lacking and deserving of nothing.
It was the raging Boyata who needlessly gave away a penalty that levelled it up at 1-1. It was Celtic who played the last 20 minutes with a one-man advantage after Jonny Hayes was sent off and yet did nothing with it.
It was the Celtic manager who brought on Efe Ambrose and not Saidy Janko to replace Mikael Lustig. In Malmo, Janko was among the few Celtic players who held up fairly well. At Pittodrie, it was Ambrose who daftly gave away the free-kick that led to the winning goal.
When Ronny Deila was looking for a goal against 10 men he sent on James Forrest and then Nadir Ciftci and, inexplicably, kept Kris Commons on the bench.
Commons has a track record of tormenting Aberdeen, scoring 10 times against the Dons. How glad - and perplexed - the home fans must have been to see him staying put on the sideline. Deila's substitutions were a mystery.
More than that - and this cuts to the heart of the feebleness of Boyata's and Bitton's and, later, Leigh Griffiths' blame game - Celtic couldn't defend a routine delivery into their penalty area for the winning goal.
Craig Gordon, Tyler Blackett and Scott Brown were all culpable. So often in games of late, a ball comes into the Celtic box and there is wholesale panic. Nobody takes responsibility. Everybody is second-guessing each other. It's a collective defensive malaise that Deila has seen too often and has not fixed.
For the winner on Saturday, Paul Quinn stood his ground, watched Celtic men leave him alone a few yards from goal and tapped it home. It was a goal that was illustrative of the improved mentality of Derek McInnes' team, but also another sign of Celtic's vulnerability.
It was a day for the Dons; joyous, and for some, lucrative. The bookmakers had them at 3-1 to win. In places, they were as long as 7-2. The odds-layers don't often get it wrong, but their prices were based on what happened last season and not what has been happening this season.
Aberdeen are a stronger force, Celtic weaker. Aberdeen have added Graeme Shinnie and Celtic have lost Virgil van Dijk. Aberdeen have Kenny McLean, who has now settled into the team and is almost like a new player, and Celtic are without Jason Denayer.
Celtic's two departed centre-halves didn't just bring authority and defensive ballast to these fixtures last season, they brought goals. Important goals. Denayer scored the opener in two of the four meetings in 2014-15. Van Dijk scored the winner in another. Their absence has narrowed the gap.
Other key Celtic players from last season remain, but they're looking shadows of themselves.
Gordon is still a supreme shot-stopper but he has become indecisive when the ball is in the air around him. Boyata wants to play like Van Dijk but the better comparison is with the accident-prone Ambrose. Brown is toiling in midfield. The verve of Gary Mackay-Steven has been lost. On days such as the one at Pittodrie, Stefan Johansen is a run-of-the-mill player.
Without the energy and goals of Griffiths, Celtic would have more problems. They have somehow got into a situation where the understudy to Griffiths is the unimpressive Ciftci and the understudy to him is Anthony Stokes, who isn't even mapped.
There's another thing. On Saturday, Aberdeen did to Celtic what Celtic have done to them. They withstood a red card and then hit the 11 men with a sucker-punch at the end. They did it with some quality and a lot of hunger. Aberdeen looked a side that needed victory like it needed its next breath.
Maybe it was just a one-off.
Maybe - surely - Celtic will galvanise themselves at some point and re-establish dominance through the course of the season, but Saturday was a day that dangled the carrot of a truly competitive league and a serious challenger to the team from the east end of Glasgow.
The thought of a real - and sustainable - title race is something everybody should welcome, even Celtic. When the smoke clears, they should realise that fear can be a good thing. They've been without it for too long in the league.
Saturday showed that Aberdeen are a burgeoning force. They haven't just put Celtic on the back foot, they've put them firmly on their backside.
Graeme Murty reported no fresh injury problems, with Jordan Rossiter and Niko Kranjcar still on the sidelines.
St Johnstone hope to have Keith Watson, Danny Swanson and Graham Cummins back in contention after injury while Liam Craig returns from suspension.
Murray Davidson remains on the sidelines along with long-term absentee Ally Gilchrist.
Rangers striker Martyn Waghorn: "It's obviously not ideal and we have a big challenge ahead and we know what we have got to do.
"It's going to be difficult, but it's only us that can turn it around. We have got to play Aberdeen again twice.
"We have got a lot of belief and a lot of good players in the squad. It's going to be difficult, but never say never.
"It's part of football, how you respond and how you react to adversity.
"This is a difficult time, but it's only us that can turn it around, work on the training pitch, work off it together as a team. Doing that for the club is all we can do.
"We are playing for Rangers, you need to be clinical, you need to score goals and you need to win games - and we are not doing that just now."
St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright: "I don't think past performances and results will come into it.
"They have a different person in charge. It's a totally different game because it's a totally different set of circumstances.
"They are on a run of poor results, we have come off the back of a poor result and a poor performance.
"We are still having a very good season and we will respond to it. I know they will.
"The pressure is on Rangers because they are expected to be challenging for second.
"We are doing great to be only six points behind them. So the pressure is all on Rangers: they are at home, they have had a few bad results, their fans will be demanding a response.
"The one thing Rangers will have is possession. They have created a lot of chances, they haven't maybe taken those chances and that's the one aspect of their game that has let them down this season, they have admitted that themselves.
"We have got to make sure we are right and limit them to very few opportunities, because the worry for us is they all of a sudden start taking those chances. That would cause us a problem."
People gathered in Montgomery, Powys, on Saturday for James Corfield, 19.
He has not been seen since he left the White Horse pub in Builth Wells in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
David Thomas, 50, who is secretary of the town's cricket club, where Mr Corfield plays, said: "It was great to see that support. We're trying to stay positive."
Those gathered also held a round of applause.
Brecon Mountain Rescue Team had its kayak search teams out on Saturday along with the police helicopter, as the search continued.
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service's drone has also been used along the River Wye.
Dyfed-Powys Police said on Saturday it was being supported by South Wales Police and Devon and Cornwall Police, as searches were conducted "on land, water and from the air".
Mr Corfield was due to meet family at the showground where he was camping with friends, but never arrived.
His mother Louise Corfield said the family were "desperate to know where he is".
Following the end of the festival, officers have searched the Royal Welsh showground and the young people's village.
On Thursday, about 200 volunteers joined mountain rescue teams, police and dog units, officials from young farmers' clubs and the fire service in the search for Mr Corfield.
Police have begun studying CCTV footage to understand where Mr Corfield, a member of Shropshire-based Chirbury & Marton Young Farmers Club, went after he left the pub.
Mr Corfield is 6ft 2in tall, of slim build, with short brown hair and was last seen wearing a blue Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and jeans.
They also say they are not certain more border jumpers will come when the weather warms up.
Illegal crossings by asylum seekers have increased in the past few months across three provinces.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been under pressure to do more to secure the border amid concerns about the influx.
Last year, the number of refugee claims rose steadily, but federal officials in a news briefing on Thursday warned the number of asylum claims can fluctuate significantly year-to-year.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed there has been a specific increase in illegal migration over the past few months, with the largest jump being seen in the province of Quebec.
Between 1 January and 21 February this year, 290 people were intercepted crossing illegally in Quebec, 94 in Manitoba, and 51 in British Columbia, officials said during a news briefing on Thursday.
Those numbers do not include people who were not apprehended at the border and made their own way to inland border offices to make a claim.
Of those who have crossed the border illegally seeking asylum, some have spent only a short time in the United States while others have pending or refused asylum claims south of the border, said the officials, who spoke to the media on background.
In Montreal in February, the RCMP hosted a meeting to discuss what it calls "irregular migration".
The RCMP, which is responsible for policing the Canada-US border between official crossings, is working closely with Canadian and US partners to "determine the extent of this complex issue", RCMP spokeswoman Annie Delisle told the BBC in an email.
At the Montreal meeting were representatives from the federal departments of Justice and Immigration, the Canada Border Services Agency, Quebec provincial police, and the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
US Customs and Border Protection and US Homeland Security Investigations representatives were present from south of the border.
US Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly plans to travel to Ottawa soon to meet with his Canadian counterpart, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, a representative for Mr Kelly said.
In recent years the number of asylum seekers crossing illegally has been creeping up steadily. But towns like Emerson, Manitoba have seen groups of 20 or more crossing in one night in this winter, overwhelming the municipality's resources and local settlement agencies.
On Thursday, asked by a reporter about the border jumpers, Mr Trudeau gave a "shout out" to first responders in towns like Emerson and in Quebec for their handling of the influx and said the federal government is continuing to monitor the situation.
There has been pressure from some clubs to shorten the length of the Lions tour, sparking fears for its future.
But speaking after the series ended 1-1 following Saturday's 15-15 draw, McBride said: "The concept is unique and it's gone for more than 100 years.
"It would be dreadful in the professional era if it's ever messed around with."
Former Ireland lock McBride is the Lions' most-capped player, having played in 17 Tests from 1962 to 1974, when he led the only unbeaten team in the tourists' history.
The 77-year-old told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek: "The one thing I feel sorry about is the tour is too short and the players really haven't had time to gel together."
Owen Farrell slotted a late penalty on Saturday to level the scores at 15-15 and share the three-Test series with New Zealand.
"It's been a tremendous achievement. A lot of people had written them off before they left," said McBride.
He dismissed the notion of the Lions playing matches at home.
"To play at home would be a nonsense," he said.

The five main parties all have campaign events planned around Wales.
For the Conservatives, Prime Minister David Cameron will visit Wales as part of a tour of the UK's four nations in one day.
He will say the economy is growing across the UK, and an Ed Miliband government would be a "disaster", with "one month to save Britain from debt".
Mr Cameron said ahead of the visits: "Today, I am travelling to all four nations of our United Kingdom, to all four corners of our country, with one simple message: we have one month to save our economy from the disaster of an Ed Miliband government.
"We have one month to save Britain from his mountain of debt; one month to save Britain from his punitive taxes; one month to save Britain, and British families, from his anti-business and anti-aspiration agenda."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is due to visit Montgomeryshire on Tuesday to discuss Liberal Democrat plans for NHS funding.
The party says its pledge to put £8bn into the NHS will mean an extra £450m for Wales which would be spent on more nurses and mental health services.
In the Vale of Glamorgan, Labour's Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves will tell voters they have "one month to scrap the 'bedroom tax'".
The party claims the removal of the spare room subsidy is due to hit a further 70,000 families in Wales over the next five years.
Plaid Cymru will launch its farming mini-manifesto on Anglesey with a pledge to improve support for agriculture.
Plaid is also calling for improvements to broadband, fuel prices and postal services in rural areas.
UKIP Wales is planning a rally in Swansea.
The 50-year-old was held at a residential address in Chelsea on Thursday morning on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
He was later released while inquiries continue, police said.
The CCTV footage showed the woman, 33, narrowly avoiding serious injury due to the bus driver's quick reactions.
On Wednesday, the Met said it had received a "huge response" to its appeal for information.
CCTV of the incident, which happened on 5 May, was issued earlier in the week in an effort to trace the jogger after police attempts to establish his identity had failed.
The footage shows a man barging the woman to the ground and off the pavement, into the road.
The bus can then be seen swerving to avoid the woman's head.
Afterwards the driver stopped the bus, at which point several passengers got off and went to help the victim.
About 15 minutes later the jogger came back the other way across the bridge.
The woman, who received minor injuries, tried to speak to him but he did not acknowledge her and carried on jogging.
The Met said the man officers arrested was still the subject of investigation but had not been released on official police bail.

The iWild devices, which were locked in steel security cases, were taken from Ty Mawr Country Park at the weekend.
James McConnell of NatureSpy, which runs the wildlife project, said staff were "very disappointed".
The cameras were installed in 17 parks and nature reserves across north east Wales in March.
Mr McConnell added: "This project is designed to give local communities the chance to see the wildlife that they share their parks with.
"Unfortunately it just takes one or two thieves to spoil that for everybody."
Sir Nicholas Soames, who represents Mid Sussex, said he had spoken to Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin urging the measure.
He said: "There have been too many cases where passengers on the railway are treated extremely disrespectfully by staff simply not turning up."
A Southern Rail spokeswoman said there were "many reasons why this happens".
Sir Nicholas said: "Where the rail companies allow this to happen they should be fined for it, because I think if you consider how expensive it is to travel on the train it is a contract between the passenger and the rail operator.
"And it is one which the rail operator regularly breaks."
He added: "If you ask anyone who commutes or travels extensively on the train in the Southern region they will tell you it happens very regularly."
A Southern Rail spokeswoman said when services are disrupted it can lead to train crews being displaced and unable to crew their next scheduled service.
She said: "Sickness, annual leave, reliance on taxis and occasional rostering errors also all have an effect on the ability to crew every train every day.
"We are currently training new drivers, and as at the end of August, 60 new drivers had become qualified since the beginning of the year."
Builders helping the BBC programme transform a home in West Bromwich were hit over the past week, the show said.
Bricklayer Karl Wildman said he was "devastated" his tools were stolen.
Presenter Nick Knowles tweeted he would not let "a few nasties" cloud his judgement of the area as people had been "amazing" in helping out.
Three vans were hit in the past week as the team extended the home of Sandra Chambers, who has looked after her two grandchildren since the death of their mother Crystal in October 2015.
More updates on this story
A Peugeot and a Ford were broken into on Wednesday morning and tools taken. On Thursday a Mercedes Sprinter was then also broken into, but nothing was stolen.
Mr Wildman, 37, said he wanted to help out after hearing about the tragic story. He spent seven days helping the programme and put the damage and thefts at £4,000.
"I went back on Wednesday for the final push and I parked about 400 yards away from the house and took some tools in with me," he said.
"I came back out and saw my doors [to his Peugeot] were all smashed and the lock broken. Another van had been done as well.
"We just can't believe how low people can go. We are all here helping a family and these people have stooped so low to do this."
He said a Peugeot dealership had helped him by donating a van to use in the interim and he would be borrowing tools until he could replace them all.
Another volunteer Jardell Miller said: "We were volunteering in the house all day and despite this, everyone managed to stay so positive and motivated to do the best for the families.
"This isn't West Brom - this is some scum who have no morals. Shame on them.
"Offers to repair the van, and replace the tools have been streaming in thick and fast too, shows how amazing the community can be."
West Midlands Police is investigating the incidents.
Mr Toledo, who is believed to be in San Francisco, is accused of taking $20m (£16m) in bribes. He denies wrongdoing.
In the phone call on Sunday, Mr Kuczynski asked Mr Trump to "evaluate" the situation.
So far efforts to arrest Mr Toledo have been stifled by legal complications.
The US has said that it is unable to arrest the ex-leader until further information on the case against him has been shared, Peruvian officials say.
Authorities in Peru, who requested Mr Toledo's arrest last week on charges of corruption, fear that he could try to fly to Israel.
However Israel has said that he would not be allowed to enter the country.
Mr Toledo is a visiting professor at Stanford University and his wife, Eliane Karp, has Israeli citizenship.
He governed Peru from 2001 to 2006 and is accused of receiving money from Brazilian building firm Odebrecht in return for a contract to build stretches of a highway linking the country with Brazil.
A reward of $30,000 (£24,000) has been offered for any information leading to Mr Toledo's capture.
Israel's foreign ministry said in a statement that Mr Toledo would not be allowed entry into the country until "his affairs in Peru are settled".
Odebrecht is at the centre of a multi-national corruption scandal. It admitted, as part of a plea deal with the US justice department, to paying nearly $800m (£640m) in bribes to governments across Latin America.
The company said it paid $29m in Peru to secure contracts between 2005 and 2014.
That time spans the presidencies of Mr Toledo and his two successors in office, Alan Garcia and Ollanta Humala, who have also denied any wrongdoing.
Peru said Interpol issued a red alert to 190 member countries to help find him, but Mr Toledo did not appear on its list of wanted persons.
The current president of Peru, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, has urged him to return to the country to face questioning.
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Carlos Basombrio told Reuters news agency that the US had informed Peru that there did not appear to be sufficient probable cause to merit detaining Mr Toledo, and had asked the country to refile its request.
The International Boxing Association (Aiba) said its executive director Karim Bouzidi would be given "a new role within the organisation" and and another official put in charge.
It comes a day after Aiba dropped some referees and judges after reviewing their performances at the Games.
Aiba accepted "some decisions were not at the level expected".
Aiba executive board vice president Franco Falcinelli will take charge of "operational responsibilities" for the remainder of the Olympic boxing competition.
The organisation added: "Aiba will not shy away from its responsibilities and will continue to ensure a level playing field and a fair and transparent sport."
The reaction to Irish fighter Michael Conlan's controversial defeat prompted action from Aiba.
Conlan lost by unanimous decision to Russia's Vladimir Nikitin when many observers felt he had won comfortably.
Similarly, Russian world champion Evgeny Tishchenko was awarded all three rounds in his favour against Kazakhstan's Vassiliy Levit in the men's heavyweight final, despite suffering a cut to his head and spending much of the bout on the back foot.
Tishchenko was booed by the crowd after being given the unanimous points decision.
Orica-BikeExchange's Chaves, 26, narrowly beat Italian Diego Rosa and Colombian Rigoberto Uran in a sprint over the final 300 metres of the 241km race from Como to Bergamo in Italy.

The 1980s band will perform on the festival's Floating Stage on the Sunday followed by fireworks.
The five-day festival, which features music, comedy, and dance, will be held from 8-12 July at Henley-on-Thames.
In a statement, the band said: "Summer by the Thames at Henley sounds like an offer not to be refused. We can't wait to see everyone there."
Lionel Richie will open the festival, other acts include Jessie J and a philharmonic celebration of American composer and pianist George Gershwin.
About 25,000 people are expected to attend the festival, which started in 1983.
The number of corncrakes dropped by almost a fifth, RSPB Scotland said.
The birds are counted by listening for the call of males. This year 1,069 were counted, while last year there were 1,289 - the highest total in 45 years.
Corncrakes migrate from Africa to the Hebrides, with largest number of the birds flying to Tiree to breed.
There were 333 calling males counted in Tiree this year.
In Orkney, there were 16 calling males recorded - down from 36 last year.
RSPB Scotland said Islay and Iona had a slight increase in corncrakes, but there were fewer in almost every other part of the Highlands and Islands where they are found.
The Glasgow-born presenter insisted that he was not retiring, saying: "I'm not stopping doing it, I'm stopping doing this."
The 52-year-old's role will be filled by British actor and presenter James Corden from 23 March.
Ferguson's final guest was Jay Leno, who bowed out of hosting The Tonight Show earlier this year.
The pair spoke about the pitfalls of presenting chat shows, while Leno said that it was "fun being a comedian again instead of a talk show host".
According to reports from Hollywood, Ferguson, who fronted the late night show on CBS for 2,058 episodes, is expected to present a new early evening programme.
But he remained tight-lipped about the precise nature of his future plans during his final appearance.
Corden, known for presenting the Brit Awards and starring in sitcom Gavin and Stacey, was confirmed as the new Late Late Show presenter in September and made an appearance on the programme on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old said he was "hugely excited" to host the programme and would do his best "to make a show that America will enjoy".
The actor's profile in the US was boosted in 2012 when he won a Tony for his role in the Broadway transfer of stage hit One Man, Two Guvnors.
He was recently seen alongside Keira Knightley in the musical romance Begin Again and has a role in big-screen musical Into the Woods, released in the US on Christmas Day.

The BBC's Chris Foxx asked the company's Berwyn Evans what benefits the £1,300 kit offered over a traditional mouse trap.
The 36-year-old former All Black has been in charge since Richard Cockerill was sacked in January.
But Mauger, whose final game will be against Northampton Saints on Saturday, has been overlooked in favour of ex-Tigers coach Matt O'Connor.
"Definitely I wanted to stay and see it through for the rest of the season," he told BBC Leicester Sport.
"I was kept in the loop the whole way through, but I'm clearly disappointed and devastated at the outcome.
"The club have made that decision in the best interests of the club, and what they believe going forward, so I have to respect that and move on."
The return of 46-year-old former Australia international O'Connor was announced on Monday, just a day after Mauger guided the Tigers to victory over Exeter in the Anglo-Welsh Cup final - the club's first silverware in four years.
Following the departure of the long-serving Cockerill, Leicester lost their first three games under Mauger, but won three of their next eight in all competitions.
They are fifth in the Premiership table, a point behind Bath, with five matches to play.
"Where the group are at the moment is pretty exciting," Mauger added. "We have really turned things around over the last eight or nine weeks.
"There is a real positive energy in the group and that has been reflected in some really good performances. Unfortunately that wasn't enough.
"We have a big game on Saturday against Saints and we look forward to starting a home run for the play-offs."
Japan's Nikkei 225 closed up just 0.12% at 20,407.08.
But on Thursday, the benchmark index marked its biggest percentage gain in four months.
"It's interesting to see that US retail sales are up," economist Tony Nash told the BBC, "as we've seen Asian exports down for the past several months."
"The real question for Asia is whether the US up-tick is a trend and if that will flow upstream to exports in Asia any time soon," said Mr Nash, managing partner of Complete Intelligence.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 closed down 0.21% at 5,545.30, while South Korea's benchmark Kospi index closed down 0.22% at 2,052.17.
South Korean shares ended a four-day losing streak on Thursday after the country's central bank cut interest rates to a record low, citing a deadly outbreak of Mers as a concern for the economy.
In China, markets were setting a more positive trend, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index up 0.5% at 27,043.43 in afternoon trade and the Shanghai Composite up 0.72% at 5,158.40.
Chinese markets experienced mixed trading on Thursday following data that showed both retail sales and industrial production rose in May from a year earlier, in line with expectations.
But fixed asset investment grew more slowly than forecast in the first five months of the year compared to a year ago.
Earlier this week, China's National Development and Reform Commission said that it had given approval for seven big new projects, including an airport expansion on Hainan - an island destination that is growing in popularity with holidaymakers.
Mr Nash said he expected fixed asset investment in China to see stronger growth in early 2016 in light of the Commission's announcement.
Uihlein carded a second consecutive four-under 67 at Le Golf National.
Otaegui set the early clubhouse target with a superb five-under 66, before an afternoon thunderstorm led to a delay of two hours and five minutes.
England's Tommy Fleetwood shares third with Alexander Bjork after completing a three-under 68 following the delay.
"It's always quite tricky when you have to go back out," said the 26-year-old, who finished fourth at the US Open. "It was a shame because I felt like I had a lovely rhythm again."
First-round leader Paul Waring could only add a one-over 72 to his opening 64 to finish six under par alongside fellow Englishman Nathan Kimsey, with Graeme Storm, Ross Fisher and Ryder Cup player Thomas Pieters a shot further back.
South Korea's 9-4 win over Croatia left GB needing a point from their final match, but Paulius Gintautas's goal won it in the final period for Lithuania.
The results means Britain take silver and will remain in the third tier of world ice hockey for a third season.
"I am so proud of them right now," said GB coach Pete Russell.
"This is hurting so much but we should hold our heads up high. They were shattered out there but they gave it their all and they played with pride and passion all week.
"We just came up a little short but they deserve so much credit for the week they had.
"I guess it just wasn't meant to be; it was one of those things."
Training sessions, which replicated conditions after heavy rain, were held at the National Water Sports Centre, in Holme Pierrepoint, over four years.
The Fire Brigades Union claimed the water was a known public health risk.
Nottinghamshire County Council, who runs the centre, confirmed almost £90,000 has been paid in compensation without accepting liability.
The firefighters flood training sessions took place between 2008 and 2012.
More than 60 members swallowed water believed to be infected with harmful pathogens and bacteria, during training, which the union claimed led to diarrhoea and sickness.
The claims have been made against the county council and a number of fire brigades.
Tam McFarlane, of the fire union, said: "Despite the overwhelming numbers of attendees becoming sick, and the expert evidence obtained, brigades continued to put my colleagues at risk of illness."
The firefighters have received compensation of up to £10,000 each.
Derek Higton, service director for the county council, said: "The council has recently settled 54 claims, without accepting liability, brought against it by fire service trades unions relating to stomach upsets allegedly caused by use of the National Water Sports Centre by Fire Services for submerged water training for firefighters."
The centre is not currently used for such training.
The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) fought a ruling that the contract should be made public, but the appeal has been rejected by an Information Tribunal.
The LLDC said the decision could cost the organisation "millions of pounds".
West Ham are due to move to the Olympic Stadium at the end of the season.
A LLDC spokesperson said the decision "could significantly impact [on] the stadium's ability to act competitively" and it is considering its next steps.
It has the right to appeal against the latest decision, but only on a point of law.
Final bill raises questions over West Ham deal
West Ham costs 'met by taxpayer'
New details on West Ham stadium deal
West Ham's vice-chairman Karren Brady has previously said she fought for the best deal, but has denied this was at the expense of taxpayers.
A fans' group which called for the publication of the contract said it was "naturally delighted with the outcome".
This latest decision marks a significant chapter in a long-running tug of war over whether the deal should be made public.
Supporters of publication say they have every right to know where public money has been spent.
The LLDC insists commercial sensitivity could impact on other business, while West Ham are keeping their distance, saying they have nothing to hide.
If the deal is published, the focus is likely to be on how much rent the Hammers are paying and the arrangements for a stadium naming rights partner.
Football supporters first submitted a Freedom of Information request to obtain the tenancy agreement amid claims the LLDC would subsidise the rent.
As a result, the Information Commissioner ordered the deal should be made public.
However, bosses appealed saying it would place them at a commercial disadvantage, undermine negotiations and reduce returns to the taxpayer.
In January, the London Assembly heard that about £17,000 had been spent by the corporation to stop details of the deal being revealed.
Andrew Boff, a member of the assembly, said he was "delighted we have a legal confirmation for what the assembly has been saying unanimously for some time".
It has previously been revealed West Ham will not have to pay for staff, including cleaners and turnstile operators, when the club moves into the new ground.

Two goals in four minutes for the Royals turned a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 victory against the Bees on Tuesday.
Two of the three substitutes - winger Roy Beerens and forward Yann Kermorgant - combined for the winner.
"It was a great game to watch, but I think for both managers quite tense," Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire.
Reading extended their unbeaten run to six games and closed the gap on second-placed Brighton to five points with the victory.
Stam confessed his decision to bring on Beerens, Kermorgant and midfielder George Evans with 17 minutes to go proved the value and togetherness of his squad.
"Sometimes you need to take certain risks," the Dutchman said. "The players that came on earned it very well and that's what they need to do.
"Sometimes we make choices on who's going to be playing, looking at the opposition and the fitness of the players.
"The players are sometimes not too happy when they're not playing, but that's part of being a team and a process.
"If you want to achieve certain things, then you need to be a professional and do your job and that's what the players have done."
Buildings making the move to the Black Country Living Museum, in Dudley, West Midlands, include a gas showroom and a library, while a landmark pub and butchers will be replicated.
They will be part of a new 1940s-1960s town, which is part of a project awarded £9.8m of Lottery funding.
Museum bosses say it will help create a "world class heritage attraction".
See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here
Buildings to be painstakingly taken apart and rebuilt include West Bromwich's Gas Showroom and Dudley's Woodside Library which faced being permanently lost.
Others, including Wolverhampton's disappeared Elephant & Castle Pub and Lye's Marsh & Baxter's Butchers, will be recreated from archive material and images.
The "town" is part of the wider £21.7m BCLM: Forging Ahead scheme, which will allow the museum to tell the story of the Black Country up to the closure of the Baggeridge Coal Mine in 1968.
It will also transform the visitor and learning facilities.
Bosses say the project will create 450 new jobs - 60 of which will be at the museum, with hundreds more during construction.
Lowell Williams, chair of the museum, said: "We are excited to get started on this project.
"BCLM: Forging Ahead will not only allow us to complete our story, but also to create a truly world-class heritage attraction at the heart of the Black Country - something we can all be proud of."
The museum will submit a second round application to the Heritage Lottery Fund in October 2018 to release the rest of the funding.
If successful, construction will begin with a view to be completed in 2022.
Bob Godfrey won an Oscar for his short film Great, a biography of the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, but remains best known for his TV work.
The British animator - whose career spanned 50 years - was also responsible for Noah and Nelly in... Skylark and the risque cartoon series Henry 9 to 5.
He was awarded three Baftas and received an MBE in June 1986.
Godfrey was born in Australia, on 27 May 1921, but was educated in east London.
He began his professional career as a graphic artist working in advertising, before joining the innovative Larkin Studio in the early 1950s where he made his earliest cartoons.
In the mid-1950s, Godfrey joined up with Jeff Hale and Keith Learner, and later Nancy Hanna and Vera Linnecar, to form Biographic Films, making some of the first commercials for ITV.
But he sought to work outside the American tradition, characterised by Disney - and typically took a more unorthodox view, producing work such as The Do It Yourself Cartoon Kit (1961).
Kama Sutra
Working as Bob Godfrey Films, he cornered the market with his "adult animation" such as Henry 9 to 5 and Kama Sutra Rides Again, which earned him his first Oscar nomination - after it was entered for the awards by an American who bought the cartoon from him for £150.
It was closely followed by the Oscar-winning short Great, which satirised Victorian attitudes and the decline of the British Empire, won him the Academy Award and a Bafta in 1976.
"I'd been reading a book about Brunel so I asked British Lion, who backed Kama Sutra, if I could have some money to make a half-hour cartoon about a Victorian engineer," he told the Guardian in 2001.
"Yes, they said, here's £20,000. They'd have given me money to animate a toilet if I'd asked them."
It was during this period of his life that he animated the children's classic Roobarb, created by Grange Calveley and narrated by Richard Briers, who died earlier this week.
The anarchic cartoon about a warring cat and dog, with its memorable theme tune and wobbly dog animation won a cult following, which continues today.
He collaborated once again with Calveley and Briers on 1976's Noah and Nelly in.... Skylark, returning successfully to children's TV with Henry's Cat in the early 1980s.
But he was at his happiest when he was pushing the boundaries of conventional animation, working alongside avant-garde stars such as Spike Milligan and Michael Bentine, hob-nobbing with the Beatles and, later, becoming an inspiration for a young Terry Gilliam.
Aardman Animations founder Peter Lord tweeted: "Ah! Dear old Bob Godfrey is no more. A great influence and inspiration to me and my generation of animators. Also a lovely bloke."
Godfrey continued to work on commercials and TV commissions into his early 80s, producing his last work, Channel 4's Millennium: The Musical, in 1999.
As a teacher of animation, he told the Guardian in 2001: "I teach the basics of animation, then it's up to the individual.
"Great illustrators don't always make great animators. I've known people who couldn't draw at all who were great animators. You can always spot the ones with real talent. They don't listen to you."
But for James Lohan and his wife Tamara Heber-Percy - the co-founders of boutique hotels website Mr & Mrs Smith - the fiction was more of a grim reality in the UK of the late 1990s.
"I think it was the smell of school catering in the corridors that really got me about hotels at the time," says Ms Heber-Percy, casting her mind back to when a posh getaway a few hours from London meant starched sheets, sniffy waiters, and a pin-drop atmosphere.
"It wasn't so much Fawlty Towers as formal towers," adds Mr Lohan, 45.
The final straw for Mr Lohan and Ms Heber-Percy came in 2001, when the couple, then still dating, booked into a spa in the Lake District.
What they had imagined would be a modern, Asian-style spa of massage and martinis turned out to be an austere sanatorium, complete with a public weigh-in, a blood pressure test, and a calorie-controlled menu with no alcohol.
Ms Heber-Percy, 43, says: "I'd got all glammed up to go down to dinner, but when we got there everybody was sitting in the formal dining room in their dressing gowns."
The couple made good their escape to a local pub, and checked out of the spa first thing in the morning.
Mr Lohan adds: "I felt like I was escaping my matron at boarding school."
The experience may have been a bad one, but it inspired the couple to set up the first incarnation of Mr & Mrs Smith in 2002, and produce a glossy guidebook to the new style of boutique hotels that were starting to open in the UK.
Ms Heber-Percy says: "We just thought enough is enough, let's just write our own guide, including the things that are important to us.
"Are the sheets Egyptian cotton? Can you get two in the bath? What's the best room to book? Where's the best table in the restaurant?"
The idea to call the guidebook Mr & Mrs Smith sprang from the standard naughty weekend pseudonym used by couples as a sign-in ever since hotels kept registers.
So convinced were Mr Lohan and Ms Heber-Percy that the idea would work that they approached family and friends, remortgaged their house in west London, and raised £180,000.
After sending a photographer to the 41 hotels they had reviewed and decided made the grade, they took the concept to potential publishers.
"We got turned down by all the publishers, who said it was a rubbish idea," say Mr Lohan.
"They were very down on it, but if anything, it made us more determined."
Mr Lohan had previously managed nightclubs, and knew that a well-produced, glossy flyer was the secret to getting a good crowd.
"My thinking at the time was 'how hard can it be?' A book is only 300 flyers stuck together'," he says.
"Of course, it's a bit more complicated than that, but naivety when you are starting out is a very powerful weapon.
"And we'd road-tested the idea with so many people we trusted who were also convinced it was a good idea."
And so, the couple decided to self-publish their guide, signing a distributor who said they would be lucky to sell 5,000 books over three years.
However, the guide was an immediate hit when released in 2003, and got positively mentioned in a number of UK newspapers and magazines.
Mr Lohan says: "We sold 10,000 copies within six weeks."
The first print run of Mr & Mrs Smith went on to sell 100,000 copies - and for some of the boutique hotels featured, referrals from the guidebook were making up 40% of their bookings.
By 2005 Mr Lohan and Mrs Heber-Percy were increasingly aware that the big growth of the internet offered them the chance to refocus and substantially expand the business. And so, the Mr & Mrs Smith hotel booking website was born, with the same strict standards as the book regarding which hotels are included.
In addition, they also set up a call centre to help customers who have more complex travel requirements.
Today, Mr & Mrs Smith endorses around 1,000 hotels in 81 countries, all of them reviewed anonymously - some by celebrities, such as Cate Blanchett and Stella McCartney. For each booking made via the website, the hotel in question pays the business a commission.
While most of the firm's revenues are from hotel commissions, it also provides paid membership schemes, such as a £400 a year "GoldSmith" level, which offers room upgrades and a "personal travel consultant".
In 2012 to help fund the company's continuing expansion, it issued a four-year bond, which offered a cash interest rate of 7.5%, or 9.5% in Mr & Mrs Smith credit.
Mr Lohan is on record as saying that the bond issue raised "a couple of million pounds".
Although the company is tight-lipped on its finances, the couple say it is continuing to see growth of 30-40% per year. This includes overseas expansion, and the business now has offices in London, Los Angeles, Singapore and New York, with a total workforce of 120.
Regarding which hotels are considered good to be included on the Mr & Mrs Smith website - or how much commission they have to pay - hotel industry analyst Andrew Sangster says there doesn't seem to be any fixed rules or levels.
"It seems to vary depending on how much they want you," he says.
"It is not like Expedia or Booking.com... it's a lot more subjective at Mr & Mrs Smith. It's like one of those red ropes at a nightclub, you're never quite sure what it is that gets you past the rope.
"That said, they have managed to create a very sexy brand."
The ex-England footballer, 55, and Danielle Bux, 36, have decided to end their six-year marriage and a decree nisi will be issued.
The ex-model and mother-of-one, from Ely, wed the presenter in Italy in 2009.
Lineker confirmed the news on Twitter on Wednesday.
He said: "Thank you all for your kind words. @DanielleBux and I had many wonderful years together.
"We remain very close and the greatest of friends."
Ms Bux tweeted she will "cherish" the years the pair had together and they remained "best" friends.
A spokesman for the couple also confirmed to The Sun: "Gary and Danielle have decided to end their marriage."
He added: "They remain the greatest of friends and wish each other every happiness."
The paper quoted a source as saying the break-up was "friendly" and the pair filled out forms on a UK government website together.
The online site costs around £400, meaning the couple saved tens of thousands of pounds in legal fees.
When the couple married in Ravello they had been dating for two years.
Lineker had previously been married to Michelle, mother of his four sons, for 20 years.
They divorced in 2006.

But just as a company needs to invest in technology to keep a mobile, flexible workforce competitive, so does a world-class orchestra. It is, after all, a business like any other.
The London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) has 80 musicians who travel the world performing and recording, and a staff of 75 who run the office, their London venue, music label, and education division.
"For a lot of the time the orchestra is away from the Barbican, which is our main base," says Jeremy Garside, the LSO's head of technology.
"Their support team, particularly the orchestra managers who look after the day-to-day running of the orchestra, are probably away two-thirds of the time from our core base."
The need to upgrade the organisation's ageing telephony network and IT infrastructure gave them the chance to introduce flexible working on the move.
"If you've got a session in Abbey Road studios, or a film recording session, or are in an airport, it isn't always possible to get through on a mobile, they're often switched off," says Mr Garside.
Getting rid of ISDN lines has produced cost savings, and the ability for the management team to log on to their laptops and make decisions in real time whether in New York, Beijing or London has made the organisation more agile, says Mr Garside.
This might not seem to be a particularly new scenario.
But there's a growing body that sees this as the first steps to a vision of the future workplace, where, thanks to technology that keeps us constantly connected to the office, the office is where you are.
So how does this particular version of the future work?
Technology giant Microsoft and its advisory panel, the Anywhere Organisation, advocate a more flexible, horizontal organisation.
As part of this, the company has put its money where its mouth is and is in the process of rolling out fundamental changes to the way some of its European offices function.
The catalyst for this was its Dutch office in Amsterdam.
The general manager there, Theo Rinsema, was faced with a cramped office environment and a workforce who were selling a philosophy to customers that had little to do with the way they themselves were working.
He decided that the best way to sell an idea was to show it in practice.
This meant a new, custom-designed office, a big investment in unified communications and cloud computing, as well as employee training and support.
Staff - including Mr Rinsema - no longer have a desk, and are encouraged to decide where they work that day based on the tasks they have to do.
This could be in the open area on the first floor that includes a restaurant, coffee bar, meeting rooms and breakout areas, a private room on another floor or a hot desk.
They are also encouraged to work from home where possible. Line managers work with staff to draw up delivery schedules and expectations.
Microsoft's Klaus Holse says there are a number of things to consider.
"You've got to be thoughtful about what you're doing, because not all positions in a company are created equal.
"If you're in the HR department for example, the physical requirement for you to be at the office is probably higher than if you're a consultant."
Being clear on what is appropriate when working from home is also important, says Mr Holse.
The result, according to Microsoft, has been a happier workforce, increased productivity and higher sales as well as cost savings. The new office has half the floor space of the old one, but capacity isn't an issue.
Microsoft isn't alone among technology giants in predicting a flexible future for the average office worker. Dell recently published the second report in a series on what it calls the evolving workforce.
"I think the workplace of the future to me looks like a connected, enabled, empowered knowledge worker," says Dell's Bryan Jones.
"[It's] an employee who is less bound by physical location, by conventional work hours, and the performance of that employee is judged more by the output and indexed towards quality of output rather than the number of hours worked."
Source: The evolving workforce, Dell
The study found that developing economies such as China, Brazil and Mexico had been quickest to adopt flexible practices. One reason for that is a lack of existing IT infrastructure, says Mr Jones.
"They're able to skip a generation of technology and go directly to it. I think it speaks to the entrepreneurial spirit that we are seeing in developing countries as well."
Mr Jones believes that companies that fail to adopt a more flexible approach risk being unable to attract the brightest and best.
"I would say that companies that are categorically saying they're not willing to embrace these types of opportunities, I would say you're going to miss out on a level of employee-led innovation that will be debilitating to you long-term."
However the research also highlighted the fact that it was not just the younger generation that was pushing for different ways of working.
"What we found was that there was a gap between the technology savvy and non-technology savvy," he says.
"It really doesn't matter what age group you're in, it really depends more on how the individual employee or user has embraced technology."
It's not just technology companies that are keen to promote more flexible ways of working. For conservation charity WWF this means helping companies reduce their carbon footprint.
"All companies are concerned about their bottom line. And one of the biggest items of cost for a lot of companies is business travel," says Jean Leston, senior transport policy adviser for WWF UK.
"And if there are ways you can cut that means you can save money. And the cost of business travel is only going to increase with the cost of oil."
The charity works with the Anywhere Working Consortium, a body that includes companies like Microsoft, Nokia and Vodafone, to promote home-working and video conferencing among other things.
"If you're working collaboratively but using technology instead of face-to-face meetings you're able to meet more often, and you're able to make decisions faster, so you can get your products to market faster."
The charity is in the process of building new offices, where remote working will be encouraged - as will public transport, as there are no parking facilities.
This is just one possible version of the future - and it's one that is probably most applicable to the knowledge - or office - worker. A manufacturing production line is unlikely to relocate to your front room anytime soon, for example.
For some businesses, allowing staff so much free rein may seem like a step too far, and for others dealing with sensitive customer data, too risky.
But for Philip Ross, chief executive of Unwork.com, the evolution is not complete.
His organisation studies attitudes towards work, and has just completed its 2012 Unwork.com annual survey.
"Work is very much housed in a container and that container has been around for about 120 years, at the white-collar workplace.
"And by and large most people still commute day in and day out to a container for work."
This year's survey found that 71% of respondents had not adopted home-working or telecommuting, citing the fear of isolation and the need to be seen in the office.
"What that says to me is that people still want to get out of the home, they don't want to be home-workers, they want to come in and they need that kind of buzz."
This doesn't mean we will stay in the office environment though. Philip predicts that as well as home-working, people will use other spaces to congregate and work outside the office. With around 45% of office desk space vacant at any one time, according to Unwork.com, this could lead to significant savings.
"I think that you will find a different set of rules. The office will still remain the brand, [but] it will be the representation of the business, the anchor point and the place for people to come to do prescribed tasks."
The "It's On Us" campaign is aimed at encouraging young men to intervene when they witness situations that could lead to a sexual assault.
The US estimates one in five women are sexually assaulted while in university.
Among the partners in the campaign is the US collegiate athletic association and several major media firms.
At a White House event on Friday launching the campaign, President Barack Obama said campus sexual assault was "an affront to our basic humanity".
"We still don't condemn sexual assault as loudly as we should," Mr Obama said. "We make excuses. We look the other way. The message that sends can have a chilling effect."
"It is on all of us to reject the quiet tolerance of sexual assault and to refuse to accept what's unacceptable," Mr Obama said.
"And we especially need our young men to show women the respect they deserve, and to recognise sexual assault, and to do their part to stop it."
In an advert unveiled online before the White House event, actor Jon Hamm, actress Kerry Washington, musician Questlove, basketball star Kevin Love and others urge viewers to intervene in situations that could lead to assault.
Benjamin Zand, BBC Pop-Up, Boulder, Colorado
With a US college population of nearly 20 million, this is a big issue for the White House. Colorado University-Boulder is on the list of colleges being investigated for their handling of rape complaints.
In Boulder, I've been hearing stories from women who have been sexually assaulted. Finding such cases has not been difficult. Another thing we're looking at is the culture on campus that allows assault to happen. That, as many women tell me, takes us to the fraternities.
Frat parties, alcohol and a machismo culture are widely blamed here. But trying to speak to fraternities to hear their views is near impossible. After numerous phone calls and door knocks, it's clear the frats do not want to talk.
It is a conversation they do not want to be part of, as it brings unnecessary attention. But they may be forced to address sexual assault sooner than they want.
BBC Pop Up is currently in Boulder, Colorado, investigating sexual assaults. See their piece here at the end of next week.
They ask viewers to make sure friends get home safe and not to blame victims of sexual assault.
On the campaign's website, readers are asked for their name, email and post code as they pledge "not to be a bystander to the problem, but to be a part of the solution".
The information is collected by Generation Progress, the youth arm of the liberal Center for American Progress, which has close ties to the White House.
The message is largely targeted at men, the White House says, because research suggests men are often to reluctant to speak out against violence against women because they think other men accept it.
The advert and anti-assault messages will appear at arenas during National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship sport events.
The campaign will also be promoted on the websites associated with younger people, including pop, hip-hop and country music channels.
Major video game publisher Electronic Arts will also encourage users to sign up for the campaign's pledge through its online platforms.
The campaign is a result of a task force launched by the White House in January.
The US Department of Education has named dozens of colleges and universities under investigation for mishandling of sexual assault cases.
Social services and health minister Rebecca Evans said it was a "neutral act" following "matters which have emerged in recent days".
A review of Sports Wales seen by BBC Wales Sport has warned it must undergo a major overhaul.
However, Wednesday's decision is not directly linked to today's leaked review, BBC Wales understands.
The decision to suspend the activities of the board was taken in agreement with the Sports Wales chair Paul Thomas and vice-chair Adele Baumgardt.
Mr Thomas replaced Laura McAllister as chair in March and has been overseeing a review of the organisation.
Sport Wales, a Welsh Government-sponsored body, advise ministers on sporting matters.
They also distribute National Lottery funding in Wales.
A statement from Ms Evans added: "The decision has not been taken lightly, but I am satisfied it is a necessary move while my officials conduct a rapid review of these events, which has already commenced.
"I am unable to give any further details at this stage but I will update (assembly) members further as soon as I am in a position to do so.
"My expectation is that the board's activities will remain suspended until at least the end of the year, depending on the outcome of the review.
"Sport plays a vital part at the heart of our national life, both at the elite and grassroots level. It is equally vital, therefore, that we have a well-functioning and cohesive body charged with promoting this.
"Today's action is solely aimed at ensuring that Sport Wales is properly placed to deliver this in the future. In the meantime, its day-to-day operational activities will continue as normal."
Responding, a Sports Wales spokesperson added: "We have no further comment other than to say we will continue to work with Welsh Government on this matter."
Defender Fabio misses a second successive match because of concussion, while Calum Chambers and George Friend have both been ruled out again.
Burnley will make a late decision on midfielder Steven Defour, who suffered a thigh injury in the win over Stoke.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson has returned to full training after a knee problem but won't be involved this weekend.
Martin Fisher: "After Wednesday's defeat at fellow strugglers Hull City, I thought this was a game Middlesbrough had to win.
"After checking their remaining fixtures, I'm now convinced victory is absolutely vital.
"You see, Boro still have to play Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal.
"Seven points adrift of safety and without a win since Christmas, things are looking desperate, but a home game against Burnley might just provide a much-needed chink of light.
"The Clarets' away record is easily the worst in the Premier League.
"On paper, it's the perfect chance for Boro to inject fresh hope into their survival bid. Fail to grab it and the fat lady can start warming up in the wings."

Middlesbrough head coach Steve Agnew: "We know where we are - we have to set up to win the game.
"I think they understand the importance of game, what we have to do tomorrow is carry out the game plan.
"If we do that and remain stable in terms of the game plan and see that through then I'm very confident."
Burnley manager Sean Dyche on Middlesbrough: "Every game is a tough game. They have had a change of manager, whatever that brings. Good, bad or indifferent, we are yet to see.
"It looks like a change of tactical shape with two centre forwards. Maybe they are looking at a different view. Who knows? We have just got to be ready to deliver and take another challenge on."
The home fans will want to see Middlesbrough having a go after a season of safety-first football under Aitor Karanka.
Will it work? I am not sure. It might actually play into Burnley's hands a little bit.
I've said before that I don't see Sean Dyche's side going the whole campaign without winning away - and I think they will get that elusive victory here.

The first assembly member to be elected from outside the four parties was John Marek, who won the Wrexham constituency in 2003.
He had been deselected as Labour candidate for a seat he had represented as an MP or AM for 20 years following a series of disputes with party colleagues in Cardiff Bay and Wrexham.
Dr Marek stood against another Labour AM for the post of assembly deputy presiding officer and won.
He was also accused of undermining his party in a private letter to an official of the Communication Workers Union, recommending the union stopped donating to Labour until the government improved its attitude towards public services.
Standing for the John Marek Independent Party, he won with a majority of 973 over the Labour candidate Lesley Griffiths.
He later formed a new political party called Forward Wales, a party that recruited former Labour Welsh Secretary Ron Davies to its ranks.
Dr Marek ran for re-election in 2007, but this time lost to Ms Griffiths by over 1,200 votes.
In 2005 another Labour AM - Peter Law from Blaenau Gwent - cut his ties with the party he had represented at the assembly since 1999.
He left the party in protest at its policy of all-woman shortlists at the 2005 general election, stood for the Westminster seat as an independent and won.
Mr Law died in 2006 aged 58, after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
His widow Trish Law won the seat in the Assembly by-election that followed, with a majority of over 4,400 under the banner of Blaenau Gwent People's Voice.
Mrs Law said: "This is a victory for Blaenau Gwent: a victory for honesty and integrity".
She promised to be a "voice for our communities" and to "ensure that never again will the area be taken for granted".
Mrs Law held on to the seat in the 2007 election, increasing her majority to over 5,300.
But in September 2010, she announced that she would not seek re-election in 2011.
"Having achieved what I know Peter would have wanted me to achieve and having given my all to the constituency and its people I care so much about for the past few years I have decided to stand down in May and put my family first," she said.
The Green Party has never had any assembly members, but the regional list system does give them some hope of gaining seats at the Senedd.
In 2011 they polled over 32,500 votes - 3.4% - on the regional list across Wales, just below their 2007 result of 33,800 votes (3.5%).
The British National Party's best performance came in 2007, winning 42,197 votes on the regional lists or 4.3% of the vote. Four years later in 2011 their support had fallen to 22,600 votes or 2.4%.
The Socialist Labour Party saw their best result in 2011 when they won just over 23,000 votes on the lists across Wales, representing 2.4% of those who voted.
Avni Metra, 53, who has been living as a fugitive in the UK for 18 years, was granted asylum after assuming a different name and posing as a Kosovan refugee.
A Daily Mail investigation uncovered his true identity leading to his arrest on Wednesday in Watford.
He was refused bail at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
An extradition hearing has been scheduled for 11 August.
Prosecutor Janine Hopkins said that Metra, who was arrested by the Metropolitan Police is "on bail for rape, he has not been charged".
Speaking through an interpreter at Westminster Magistrates' Court, Metra refused to be extradited to Albania where he is wanted in connection with two murders and possession of firearms dating back to 1996.
His lawyer Helen Dawson told the court that he would be fighting the case on human rights grounds, arguing that he fears persecution and that he is now a family man who has "made a life here for the past 18 years" and has a "very close bond" with his four children.
For the first year of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, Aleppo saw neither the large-scale protests nor the deadly violence that shook other towns and cities.
However, it suddenly became a key battleground in July 2012, when rebel fighters launched an offensive to oust government forces and gain control over northern Syria.
But the rebel advance was not decisive and Aleppo ended up divided roughly in half, with the opposition controlling the east and the government the west.
Neither side was able to break the deadlock until mid-2016, when government troops backed by Russian air strikes severed the rebels' last route into the east and placed 250,000 people under siege.
At the end of November, troops retook the north of the rebel enclave, in what could prove to be a turning point in the Syrian conflict.
Aleppo, or "Halab" in Arabic, is one of world's oldest continually inhabited cities, being mentioned in Egyptian texts from the 20th Century BC.
Remains of a temple from the end of the third millennium BC have been found at the site of Aleppo's famous mediaeval citadel, which still dominates the area and provided a defensive stronghold for centuries.
Aleppo flourished politically and economically during the 18th Century BC as the capital of the kingdom of Yamkhad, until it fell to the Hittites.
Later, it became an important city of the Hellenistic period and a key trading post for merchants passing between the Mediterranean and lands to the east. It was eventually absorbed into the Roman Empire and then prospered as a hub for caravan traffic under Byzantine rule.
In 636 AD, Aleppo was conquered by Arab Muslim troops. About 80 years later, during the rule of the Umayyad Caliph Sulaiman, its Great Mosque was built.
In the 10th Century, Aleppo became the capital of the northern Syrian Hamdanid dynasty, but it then suffered a period of war and disorder, as the Byzantine Empire, Crusaders, Fatamids and Seljuks fought to gain control of it and the surrounding region.
Aleppo did not recover until the middle of the 12th Century. Then, under Ayyubid rule in the 13th Century, the city enjoyed a period of great prosperity and expansion.
But this came to an abrupt end in 1260, when Aleppo was conquered by the Mongols. The city then suffered an outbreak of plague in 1348 and a devastating attack by Timur in 1400.
In 1516, Aleppo became part of the Ottoman Empire. It was soon made the capital of its own province and emerged as a nexus of trade between the Orient and Europe.
Aleppo's role as a transit centre for trade declined in the late 18th Century and was hindered further by France and Great Britain's demarcation of the borders of modern Syria - which cut the city off from southern Turkey and northern Iraq - and the loss of the Mediterranean port of Alexandretta to Turkey in 1939.
Following Syrian independence, the city developed into a major industrial centre, rivalling the capital Damascus, and its population expanded massively from 300,000 to about 2.3 million by 2005.
Today, Aleppo's population is made up mainly of Sunni Muslims, most of whom are Arabs but some of whom are Kurds and Turkomans. The city also has the largest population of Christians in Syria, including many Armenians, as well as Shia and Alawite communities.
When anti-government protests erupted across Syria in March 2011, the authorities did everything possible to ensure they did not take hold in Aleppo.
The threat of brutal reprisals helped limit demonstrations largely to outlying districts of the city and the university.
However, as the uprising evolved into a conflict, Aleppo was soon caught up in the unrest.
In February 2012, the city was rocked by two bomb attacks on military intelligence and police compounds that left 28 people dead.
Then, clashes between armed rebels and government forces began to be reported with increasing frequency in nearby areas of Aleppo province.
The battle for the city of Aleppo began in mid-July 2012. The rebels made swift gains, seizing control of several pro-opposition districts in the north-east, south and west.
By the end of the month, the fighting had intensified and spread to the historic city centre, even reaching the gates of the Old City, a Unesco World Heritage site.
In September 2012, a blaze swept through the ancient souk after clashes in the vicinity, while in April 2013 the Great Mosque's 11th Century minaret was reduced to rubble.
Within months the battle for Aleppo became a war of attrition. Most of the territory is disputed and the frontlines are shifting constantly.
The rebels have been unable to acquire the heavy weapons they need to defeat the better-equipped government's forces, while the military had its supply lines disrupted and had to focus resources on Damascus, where a rebel offensive also began in July 2012.
Since the end of 2013, government forces have waged a deadly aerial campaign in Aleppo using barrel bombs, allowing them to make several gains.
Rebel forces have been dogged by infighting between the so-called Islamic State (IS) and other jihadist groups.
In May 2015, Amnesty warned life had become "increasingly unbearable" for civilians, accusing government forces and rebel groups of committing war crimes.
Life in rebel-held Aleppo became increasingly difficult that September, when Russia launched air strikes in support of President Assad.
Moscow said it would only targets jihadist militants, but soon Western powers were accusing it of hitting mainstream rebels and civilian areas.
The Russian intervention enabled government forced to advance on several fronts.
In February 2016, government forces broke a long-running rebel siege of Nubul and Zahraa, two Shia villages north-west of Aleppo, and severed the main supply route from Turkey into the rebel-held east.
The rebels suffered another major blow in July when government forces took control of the Castello Road, a major artery that runs into eastern Aleppo, trapping 275,000 people living there.
In early August, rebel forces based outside the city captured the government-controlled Ramouseh district and opened up a new corridor into the east. But a month later, troops retook the territory and resumed the siege.
The government announced the launch a large-scale offensive on 22 September. It was accompanied by an aerial bombardment of unprecedented scale and intensity that reportedly included bunker-busting, incendiary and cluster munitions.
A pause in the air strikes was declared unilaterally on mid-October to allow civilians and rebels to leave the east, but very few people took up the offer.
On 15 November, the government air campaign resumed and troops stepped up their ground offensive. By the end of the month, they had pushed into several northern districts, prompting thousands of people fled their homes.
The move has been criticised by the opposition and some businessmen who have accused President Rajapaksa of turning the country into his fiefdom.
But the government says that it is only taking over loss-making companies which would close down unless it intervened.
It says that the take-overs are a one-off and are unlikely to be repeated.
Ministers say that the asset acquisition bill allows the government to appoint authorities to manage under-performing enterprises and under-utilised assets - including a sugar company owned by an opposition politician.
It says that investors were given the assets many years ago by the state - mostly as an incentive to turn loss-making state enterprises around.
But senior lawyer and anti-corruption campaigner JC Weliamuna told the BBC that the move authorised by parliament on Wednesday was not only illegal but also a human rights violation as some of the companies concerned are profitable.
Critics of the government say the latest move is a further sign of President Rajapaksa's autocratic tendencies, following moves at the weekend to muzzle critical press coverage.
Last year the president altered the country's constitution so that it would be possible for him to serve consecutive terms. Several of his family members also hold senior government posts.
Before the bill was passed on Wednesday, opposition leader Ranil Wickramasinghe warned that it would trigger public protests.
"The government should focus on acquiring assets of the militarily defeated Tamil Tigers," he said, "instead of harassing Sinhala businessmen."
But the government insists it will press ahead with the acquisitions.
"This has nothing to do with investors or the business community. This refers to just [those] companies... which are closed down. You can hardly find their owners," said Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa, the younger brother of the president.
It is the fifth time in a row the buyer, Kiyoshi Kimura, president of a sushi restaurant chain, won the bid.
New year auctions often fetch higher prices than normal in Japan, because the event is considered auspicious for business.
The famous fish market is moving to a new facility in November, making the auction the last at its current site.
While Mr Kimura's winning bid was far higher than the price of 4.51m yen he paid last year, it was a long way short of the record 155 million yen he paid in 2013. The extraordinary bidding that year was criticised by many for its excess, prompting the sharp decline in price the following year.
Before ending up at the 80-year-old market, the tuna was caught in northern Japan, off the coast of Oma, in Aomori prefecture.
Japan consumes the overwhelming majority of bluefin tuna worldwide, although as the popularity of sushi has spread, demand from elsewhere has also increased, putting even more pressure on the populations of all three species - Pacific, Southern and Atlantic bluefin.
Environmentalists warn the fish is on its way to extinction and some want a ban on its trade.
"Given the already dire state of the population - decimated to just four percent of unfished levels - it is of particular concern that the auction price is rising again," Amanda Nickson, director of Global Tuna Conservation at the Pew Charitable Trusts, said in a statement.
The market's move to the new site in Tokyo bay had long been delayed after toxic chemicals were found in the soil at the new location, formerly used by a coal gasification plant.
The current Tsukiji market will be replaced by a waterfront park, shopping plaza and ferry passenger terminal.

A Hull chip shop has sent this pattie and chips 37km into the sky, attached to a weather balloon.
The savoury pattie, made from fried mashed potato, is a signature food in the region.
It was launched from a site in Sheffield, travelling to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere, before floating back down to land in a field in Lincolnshire.
Craven Park Primary School in Hull will be looking at the journey the food has been on, studying the experiment as part of a science project.
They want to try and learn more about the Earth's upper atmosphere, temperature and pressure.
With the city of Hull celebrating its special year as UK City of Culture, the team behind the flying dinner said they wanted to make sure people couldn't help but learn about the city and it's local delicacy.
Unless they'd been living on another planet, of course!
Bill Hawkes, 54, and 14-year-old Ciaran Hawkes were killed after their Mazda MX5 was involved in a collision with a Kia Optima on the A91 near Auchtermuchty.
Mr Hawkes and his son, who were from the Falkirk area, were travelling home from a classic car show.
Inquiries into the crash are continuing and police have asked any further witnesses to contact them.
A statement from the Hawkes family said: "Bill and Ciaran sadly died in a vehicle accident after attending a classic car show on Sunday. Their deaths are such a tragic loss.
"During their lives, both Bill and Ciaran touched so many people with their kindness, friendliness, thoughtfulness and generosity of spirit.
"They will be hugely missed by family and friends. The family is finding it extremely difficult to come to terms with this tragic sudden loss."
Planes hit Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) targets in both the south-east and over the border in northern Iraq.
Saturday's twin bombing in Ankara killed at least 95 people, making it the deadliest such attack ever.
Security sources say they suspect the so-called Islamic State (IS) group was behind the attack.
The air force struck after the government rejected a new ceasefire announced by the PKK on Saturday.
Tensions in Turkey were already high, with a general election looming on 1 November.
The governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost its overall majority in June after gains by the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP), which was involved in Saturday's rally.

PKK positions were destroyed in the Metina and Zap areas of northern Iraq in Sunday's air strikes, the Turkish military said.
On Saturday, the air force targeted the PKK in Turkey's Diyarbakir province. Forty-nine people were reported killed in the strikes, but these figures could not be verified independently.
"The PKK ceasefire means nothing for us," one senior Turkish security official told Reuters news agency. "The operations will continue without a break."
The government has furiously denied opposition suggestions it was involved in the Ankara bomb attacks itself.
HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas accused the government of failing to fully investigate earlier attacks on political rallies.
"The state which gets information about the bird that flies, and every flap of its wing, was not able to prevent a massacre in the heart of Ankara," he said.
According to the HDP, the true death toll from Saturday is at least 128.
The Turkish authorities believe two suicide bombers struck at the rally on Saturday.
Two senior security officials who spoke to Reuters said the initial signs were that IS was to blame.
"All signs indicate that the attack may have been carried out by Isil [IS]," one of the unnamed sources said. "We are completely focused on Isil."
Three days of mourning began on Sunday.
In Istanbul, hundreds of mourners at the funeral of one victim, Kubra Meltem Mollaoglu, chanted, "The killer government will be held accountable for its crimes!"
Thousands of people gathered in the centre of Ankara to remember the victims.
There was a clear sense of anger towards the government, with people blaming it for security failures, the BBC's Selin Girit reports.
In the south-eastern city of Diyarbakir, police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse people protesting about the Ankara bombing.
Outside Ankara's forensic morgue, families and friends of victims waited for the bodies of their loved ones.
"Everyone came here to defend peace," Umit, whose sister died in the attack, told the AFP news agency.
Another mourner outside the morgue, Havva, said: "Those who do not believe in brotherhood, those who don't believe in equality of the people of this country, are the ones who provoked what we saw yesterday in Ankara."
One of the victims has been identified as 70-year-old Meryem Bulut, a member of the Saturday Mothers group, who have protested about their missing sons since the 1990s.
Turkey is mourning the deaths of at least 95 people. These are just a few of those who lost their lives, clockwise from top left:

Giant, solar-powered robots have been installed on the roads to help monitor the busy traffic in the capital city.
The robo-cops let drivers know when it is safe to go by using red and green lights on their rotating arms.
As well as this they also have a number of security cameras on them, which allow the police to keep an eye on the roads and make sure there is no trouble.
Three of the newest robots were developed by a team of women engineers, who hope their robots will be used across the rest of the country.
Full council is recommended to approve the closure of Sir Thomas Picton and Tasker Milward schools in Haverfordwest in order to establish a new school for 11-19 year-olds from September 2018.
The new school will initially use both sites of the current schools.
The plans follow five separate consultations on the future of secondary education in the town.
If approved, it means Johnston and Neyland will form part of the Milford Haven School catchment area.
The council previously wanted to create an 11-16 school, with sixth form provision moving to Pembrokeshire College.
But those plans were met with protests from pupils and parents and were scrapped in May.
The council carried out a consultation at the start of 2017 and said about 70% of respondents indicated they strongly agreed or agreed with the latest plans.
But the support was conditional on a number of factors, including:
Pembrokeshire council said the case for change was necessary in order to "improve educational standards for learners".
It also aims to address surplus places and the condition and suitability of buildings. | Three cameras placed at a Wrexham park to capture images of animals in their natural habitat have been stolen.

The 65-member congressional committee voted 38 to 27 to recommend impeachment over claims she manipulated government accounts ahead of her 2014 re-election.
All eyes will now be on a full vote in the lower house starting on 17 April.
The issue has divided Brazil, with police preparing for mass protests in the capital, Brasilia.
The vote took place amid chaotic scenes with supporters and opponents of President Rousseff shouting slogans and waving placards.
The committee's vote is largely symbolic, but has been watched as a measure of how much support there is for the impeachment process ahead of the crucial vote in the full lower house of Congress, correspondents say.
There, a two-thirds majority is needed to send the matter on to the Senate. The latest opinion poll by the Estadao daily suggests 292 of the 513 members are in favour, with 115 against and 106 undecided.
The Senate would then have the power to suspend Ms Rousseff, put her on trial and ultimately drive her from office.
During a bad-tempered debate leading up to the vote, Attorney General Jose Eduardo Cardozo, speaking for the president, said the impeachment process was "flawed".
"It is absurd to dismiss a president who has not committed crimes, nor stolen a penny. And such a process without crime or fraud, would be a coup," he said.
Ms Rousseff is accused of breaking fiscal laws by allegedly manipulating government accounts to make the deficit seems smaller than it was ahead of presidential polls.
Opposition lawmaker Vanderlei Macris said an impeachment would be important to Brazilian society and would bring change.
513 members of the lower house of Congress
342 votes needed to move process to the Senate
41 senators out of 81 must vote in favour to begin impeachment trial
180 days she could be suspended for during the hearings
On Monday night, thousands of supporters of President Rousseff attended anti-impeachment rallies in Rio de Janeiro.
Speaking at one event, former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva dismissed the vote by the congressional committee, calling it "unimportant".
If the matter does go to the Senate and Ms Rousseff is suspended, Vice-President Michel Temer, from the opposition PMDB party, would take over temporarily.
But in another twist, Brazilian media ran an audio tape on Monday that appeared to be a draft address he planned to give, accepting the post and calling for national unity.
"Many people sought me out so that I would give at least preliminary remarks to the Brazilian nation, which I am doing with modesty, caution and moderation," he says on the recording.
His office said it was sent to aides erroneously.
The BBC's Wyre Davies in Brazil says that, given the fact that Mr Temer may also face impeachment proceedings, it appeared somewhat premature.
If Mr Temer is also suspended from office, the next in line to assume the presidency is the Speaker of the lower house, Eduardo Cunha.
However, he is facing money-laundering and other charges stemming from the Petrobras scandal.
President Rousseff's popularity has dived in recent months.
She has been hit by a faltering economy and a damaging corruption scandal focused on the state-controlled oil giant Petrobras, which has implicated several senior politicians and business leaders.
Although opinion polls regularly indicate that a majority of Brazilians support the impeachment process, President Rousseff and her supporters in the ruling Workers Party say the proceedings in Congress amount to a parliamentary coup.
They point out that, unlike many of the Congressmen sitting in judgment against her, Ms Rousseff has not been formally accused in the Petrobras scandal but is being "tried" on lesser charges of manipulating government accounts to conceal a growing deficit.
Most Brazilian newspapers comment on the heated nature of the debate which preceded the vote and note the shouts of "There won't be a coup!" from supporters of the president.
Daily O Globo points out that while the government expected the vote in the commission to go against it, it had been hoping for at least two more congressmen to side with President Rousseff.
It says the government was "surprised" by the size of its defeat. It also quotes Ms Rousseff's chief of staff, Jaques Wagner, who calls the 27 members of the commission who voted in favour of the president "heroes of democracy".
There is also talk of heroes in centre-right daily Folha, which quotes the head of the commission which recommended that the impeachment proceed as saying: "I did my part, and I did it as a hero would have done."
Many papers try to estimate the outcome of the upcoming vote in the full lower house and have conducted their own polls of the members of Congress.
Folha de S. Paulo says that 265 told the paper that they would vote for Ms Rousseff's impeachment.
This falls short of the 342 votes needed for the impeachment to go ahead. But as Folha's poll only reached 425 of the 513 members of the lower house of Congress, it leaves readers with little clue as to the final outcome.
Lower house vote: An impeachment vote is expected in the lower house on either Sunday or Monday. A two-thirds majority is required for it to go forward to the Senate. Latest surveys suggest the number in favour is short of the total needed to carry the motion.
Senate vote on trial: If Ms Rousseff case is sent to the Senate, a simple majority is enough to suspend her for up to 180 days while she is put on trial. Vice-President Michel Temer would step in during this period.
Impeachment vote: For Ms Rousseff to be removed from office permanently, two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote in favour. Mr Temer would remain president for an interim period should this happen. | Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has suffered a blow to her hopes of staving off impeachment proceedings, after a committee voted they should go ahead. | 36,021,230 | 1,332 | 42 | false |
The confirmation follows a series of divisive hearings during which Democrats attacked Mr Sessions' record on civil rights.
Democrat Elizabeth Warren was silenced after recalling historic allegations of racism against Mr Sessions.
The Alabama senator's nomination was among Mr Trump's most controversial.
The vote largely followed party lines, with just one Democrat senator - Joe Manchin of West Virginia - voting for Mr Sessions.
Mr Sessions' Republican colleagues in the chamber applauded him as their majority carried him over the line. He will now take charge of the Justice Department and its 113,000 employees, including 93 US attorneys.
Addressing the chamber after the vote, Mr Sessions said: "There is no greater honour than to represent the people of Alabama in the greatest deliberative body in the world.
"I appreciate the full debate we've had and thank those afterwards who found sufficient confidence to cast their vote to confirm me as the next attorney general.
"I fully understand the august responsibility of this office."
But Mr Sessions added that "denigrating people who don't agree with us is not good for our politics".
During debates ahead of the vote, Ms Warren and other Democratic senators recalled criticism of Mr Sessions by Martin Luther King's widow, who opposed his nomination as a federal judge in 1986, alleging he had intimidated black voters.
That nomination was rejected by a US Senate panel amid concerns over allegedly racist comments made by Mr Sessions, and remarks which appeared to be sympathetic to white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.
David Duke, the former leader of the the KKK, welcomed the confirmation, writing on Twitter: "Mr Trump's appointment of Bannon, Flynn and Sessions are the first steps in the project of taking America back."
Ms Warren, who was temporarily banned from the chamber, wrote: "If Jeff Sessions makes even the tiniest attempt to bring his racism, sexism & bigotry into the Justice Department, he'll hear from all of us."
At 70, Mr Sessions is the same age as Mr Trump and was an early supporter of the president. Mr Trump has lashed out on Twitter at Democrats stalling his cabinet picks, including Mr Sessions, who is only the sixth of Mr Trump's 15 nominees to be confirmed.
The Alabama senator is widely seen as an inspiration for Mr Trump's anti-immigration policies, and his close ties to the president and special advisor Steve Bannon have raised concerns about his ability to be sufficiently independent from the White House.
The confirmation follows a turbulent first fortnight for Mr Trump, during which the president has faced heavy criticism over his controversial travel ban and a raid in Yemen which killed one US Navy operative and a number of civilians, including children. | The US Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump's nomination for attorney general, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, by a vote of 52 to 47. | 38,915,273 | 596 | 30 | false |
Ms Jowell said she would focus on providing affordable housing, transport and "opening up opportunities" for everyone in the city.
She said she would build on public sector land for the "first time since 1986" and create 2,000 homes per year, in the next 20 years.
Transport for London's (TfL) land could also be used for the homes, she said.
The former Labour MP, who stood down at this year's general election, said she wanted "a London where everyone shares in our city's success - young and old; low and middle income as well as the better off".
Tessa Jowell's career
The city under her stewardship would also be "intolerant of poverty, of injustice, of hopelessness", she said.
She said she wanted to set up the housing equivalent of TfL, led by a commissioner to "get London building again".
Ms Jowell said; "It's not enough for the mayor to exhort others to build homes. We've tried that - it hasn't worked.
"The next mayor needs to take the lead, building thousands of homes Londoners can afford, on the vast swathes of land that the mayor owns."
She added: "I've got a plan. Not just the same old empty boasts we always hear at election time - people are switching off and who can blame them?
"And I'll tell you this - I will deliver. I will see it through, that's what I've always done."
Ms Jowell joins fellow Labour candidates Hackney MP Diane Abbott and MP for Tottenham David Lammy, who said they would both stand for the May 2016 mayoral election.
Author and Journalist Christian Wolmar has said he too will join the race to succeed Tory Boris Johnson.
At Ms Jowell's announcement on Tuesday in Brixton, former transport secretary Lord Adonis described her as "inspirational" and ex-treasury minister Kitty Ussher said Ms Jowell would be "a fantastic mayor and exactly what London needs".
Her successor as MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, Helen Hayes, said: "She has an ability like very few politicians to relate and connect to people from all sorts of different backgrounds across the whole community in London." | Labour's former culture secretary Tessa Jowell has announced she will run for the next mayor of London. | 32,791,601 | 504 | 25 | false |
The League One club are searching for a successor to Michael Appleton, who joined Leicester City as assistant.
"Most importantly, we have got to try to make the right decision," Eales said of the managerial vacancy.
"If this had happened a month earlier, it would have made recruitment of players so much simpler."
Eales has confirmed that Oxford missed out on signing defender Liam Lindsay from Partick and midfielder Conor McAleny from Everton as a result of Appleton's departure earlier this month.
Lindsay opted to join Championship club Barnsley after Oxford's initial interest, while former Oxford loanee McAleny agreed a move to fellow League One side Fleetwood on Friday.
"That's nobody's fault," Eales said. "Stuff like this happens in football.
"The reality is we're not going to be able to bring in all the players we want because of the circumstances we find ourselves in.
"We do have to try to make the decision (for a new manager) quickly, but if the right decision means it takes us a bit longer, that's fine.
"There's nothing fundamentally broken that we can't start pre-season with 100% of the staff who are there already."
As expected, five-time world champion Taylor, 30, has signed a deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing.
The Bray woman has been linked with a move to the professional ranks since missing out on a medal at the Rio Olympic Games in August.
"I'm excited for the road ahead," said the Irishwoman.
"When I first dreamt of Olympic gold, female boxing was practically unknown.
"Now because of my journey and the incredible supporters who came along with me, female boxing is as much part of the fabric of the Olympics as its male counterpart.
"I want to do the same for the professional sport and I hope those who have supported me along the way will come along with me."
After her professional debut, Taylor will then fight on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's second defence of his IBF world heavyweight title at the Manchester Arena on 10 December.
Promoter Hearn described's Taylor's decision as a "significant day for our sport".
"She is one of the most decorated amateur boxers of all time and a public icon in Ireland," said Hearn.
"I met Katie for the first time last week and was fascinated by her desire to not just win world titles but to break down the barriers of women's boxing. She is an incredible role model."
Taylor lost narrowly to Finland's Mira Potkonen at the quarter-final stage of the women's lightweight competition at the Rio Games.
The Irishwoman's domination of the 60kg division was initially dented in April when she suffered a unanimous points defeat by Azerbaijan's Yana Alekseevna at the Olympic qualifying tournament in Turkey - her first defeat in five years.
She was subsequently beaten in the world championship lightweight semi-finals in May, finishing with bronze after losing on a split decision to France's Estelle Mossely in Kazakhstan.
Taylor has fought as an amateur since her first officially sanctioned fight aged 15 in 2003.
But his latest accolade is a first: The 39-year-old has been named on the Waterstones 11, an annual list of the most promising debut novels.
His novel, Pig's Foot, is set in Cuba and charts the island's history from the 19th Century to the present, through the war of independence, dictatorship and revolution.
It is actually his second book - following his autobiography, No Way Home, in 2007.
There, he told of his upbringing as one of four children in a cramped Havana apartment (although he had seven other siblings), before his father sent him to ballet school aged nine, mainly out of fear he was becoming a delinquent.
He went on to win the Gold Medal at the Prix de Lausanne in 1990, and danced with the English National Ballet, the American Ballet and the Royal Ballet.
As his novel was added to the Waterstones shortlist. Acosta discussed his conversion from ballerino to biro.
Hello, Carlos. Congratulations on the nomination.
Thank you, I'm very surprised myself!
You've won many prizes before - but for dancing. How does it feel to be recognised for your writing?
I was very surprised, because I began writing it with very low expectations. I didn't think anybody was going to care.
I didn't think I had it in me to actually create a whole world that made sense, with all these separate characters. So I was very surprised when Bloomsbury read it and decided to take it on.
What do you make of the reaction?
Like I say, I'm a dancer. I'm not going to pretend to be a writer. I mean, I can maybe tell a story for you to have fun, and slide through this story and these characters and this world I've created. But I'm never going to be Gabriel Garcia Marquez or people who do something to push the boundaries of literature. They did it from when they were young. They write to live.
Your first book was an autobiography, and your ballet Tocororo was loosely based on your story. How difficult was it to make the transition into writing fiction?
I didn't expect anything by it. I just wanted to write something by the name of Pig's Foot, which is Pata de Puerco in Spanish. I liked that title and I began asking myself what it could be. And then I imagined that it could be a hamlet or a little village in the remote regions of Cuba, really disconnected from everybody. And maybe place the beginning in the 1800s when the Cuban and the Spanish War, The 50 Years War, was happening.
So I began writing and writing and after three years I had a sort of story that made sense, a bit. And a few people here and there started to work with me and to pull the text into shape. That's how I did it.
The book was originally written in Spanish. What was the process of translating it like?
It's been a great, great pleasant experience. Frank Wynne is a wonderful translator.
Wynne has won awards for the English translations of Atomised by Michel Houellebecq and Holiday in a Coma by Frederic Beigbeder. Did you let him just get on with it, or did you supervise the translation?
I read [the translation] and I'm still reading it and making some adjustments and things. Frank is just brilliant but there are a few things in terms of Cuban slang and things like that, that we need to type up. It's only normal.
I'm very pleased to read it in English to see the voice and it really reads great. He's done an magnificent job.
It's interesting that you came up with the title first. Often it's the last thing an author writes.
I didn't even know how you write a book. Sometimes people have an outline, a backbone where you have these characters and you'll connect events here - so you know what's going to happen. I didn't have any of that. I just had the title.
I didn't know how you did it. I just did it.
This is my first book. Maybe if I ever decide to ever write another, I will have learnt something.
So you have no plans for a sequel?
No, no, no. I have a one-year-old daughter. No time to sleep, no time to write. But in the future, maybe. Who knows? We'll see.
He had claimed a committee of experts had decided the house should be demolished.
But the committee insists not, saying a demolition would "come close to a denial of the Nazi history in Austria".
On Tuesday Mr Sobotka told journalists the house should be "converted so that it was no longer recognisable".
He said one could debate about whether that entailed a demolition, and added that architects would be invited to put forward proposals to convert the house.
Hitler was born in a rented room on the top floor of the building in Braunau am Inn, near the Austro-German border, on 20 April 1889.
It has been the subject of years of legal wrangling between the owner Gerlinde Pommer and the government, which has been renting it since 1972 to prevent any misuse.
It currently pays about €4,800 ($5,300; £4,336) a month for the building.
In a statement sent to the BBC, the committee of experts appointed to decide on the future of Hitler's birthplace said it was against demolishing the house.
Professor Clemens Jabloner and Professor Oliver Rathkolb said the impression had arisen that the committee had recommended the demolition.
"This is clearly not the case. We have made… several proposals for the concrete [definitive] demystification of this place" including a "thorough architectural conversion" so that the house would not have such symbolic power.
"We clearly stated that a demolition would come close to a denial of the Nazi history in Austria."
The statement suggested the house be used for administrative or social purposes but ruled out using it as a museum.
Meanwhile, a parliamentary committee is due to discuss a legal amendment to allow them to seize the property, but a vote on the proposal is not expected until later, possibly November, sources told the BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna.
The future of the former guesthouse has been widely debated, with opinion torn between razing it to stop it becoming a focal point for neo-Nazis or changing its use.
Some in the community want it to become a refugee centre, others a museum dedicated to Austria's liberation from Nazi rule. Others oppose the building's demolition because it is part of the historic city centre and therefore under heritage protection.
Local people say the building still attracts some neo-Nazi sympathisers.
The killings took place in Europe between 1933 and 1945. They were organised by the German Nazi party which was led by Adolf Hitler.
The largest group of victims were Jewish people. Nearly 7 out of every 10 Jews living in Europe were killed.
Most of the victims were killed because they belonged to certain racial or religious groups which the Nazis wanted to wipe out. This kind of killing is called genocide.
The Nazis also murdered politicians, trade unionists, journalists, teachers and anyone else who spoke out against Hitler.
We will never know exactly how many died but there were many millions of non-Jewish victims, including:

His family described him as a "quiet, gentle man" who "spent his whole life without any enemies".
Mr Ali, 51, died from multiple injuries after a man drove a van into worshippers close to the Muslim Welfare House mosque in north London.
Darren Osborne, 47, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and terror offences.
In a statement, Mr Ali's family said: "Our father was a quiet gentle man, he didn't get involved in political or social discussion, he instead took comfort and enjoyment spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren and he was always ready to make a funny joke when you least expected."
His relatives said they wanted everyone to know what a "loving man" he was and that he had "spent his whole life without any enemies".
They added that Mr Ali would not wish for there to be "any retaliation or recriminations" and urged people to "remain calm and to pray for peace in these difficult times".
Mr Ali came to the UK from Bangladesh aged 10 and was married with four daughters, two sons and two grandchildren.
His family said he regularly attended the local mosque and enjoyed visiting the park with his grandchildren.
He had suffered some form of collapse due to a weak leg and was "sitting up and expressing a wish to return home" when the attack happened, they said.
"An incident made only more tragic as he had only just completed his evening prayers, something he did regularly. He took great comfort in the feelings of peace his prayers provided," they added.
The Metropolitan Police are appealing for witnesses to the attack, which happened shortly after midnight on Seven Sisters Road in Finsbury Park and left 11 other people injured.
The force released a photo of the van used in the attack and urged anyone who spoke to the driver of the vehicle during the day leading up to the incident to contact them.
It is believed the van was driven from Cardiff, Wales at about 08:20 BST on 18 June to London.
Police have spoken to 28 witnesses from the scene, examined 80 hours of CCTV and recovered 33 digital devices from several addresses in Wales, Scotland Yard said.
Emily Thornberry told the BBC that if pupils were given lunch they were "being taught about healthy eating".
Labour says its proposals would be funded by VAT on private school fees.
The authors of a study cited by the party said no link was found between school meals and children's weight.
All children at state schools in England already receive free meals for the first three years of primary school, under a scheme introduced by the coalition government.
After this, parents on low incomes or benefits can apply for their child to continue receiving free meals.
The proposal to extend free meals to all primary pupils was described by Labour last Thursday as a way of improving the health and achievement of many young children.
Questioned about the proposal on the Andrew Marr Show, Ms Thornberry, who received free school meals at the Guildford secondary modern school she attended, said part of a state school educational experience should be having lunch together.
She said: "Part of that is being taught about healthy eating.
"If you look at poor children now, they are not thin, they are overweight and that is because of poor eating, because of bad eating habits, and part of your education ought to be teaching you about, you know, how you'd grow a carrot."
In its announcement, Labour referred to a 2012 report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, evaluating free meal pilot projects, which found "increased attainment in disadvantaged areas".
Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner highlighted a study that suggested many working families on low incomes and in multiple jobs did not quality for free school meals.
But the co-author of the report, Lorraine Dearden, said it had concluded more research was required.
She said there was a "slight improvement" in pupils' attainment, but "we certainly do not know if this impact will replicated nationwide".
She added: "We found there was no impact on absences so it wasn't through children attending school more, there was no impact on things like BMI, body mass index."
The Independent Schools Council said Labour's "sums do not add up" and would hurt hard-working families.
The system for receiving free school meals in Wales is the same as England.
Scotland has its own scheme, with similar entitlements, while in Northern Ireland parents need to apply for free school meals for children of all ages.
Under the law anyone who makes a woman observe the custom faces a three-month jail sentence and a $30 (£23) fine.
The practice, known as chhaupadi, has been in the spotlight recently after two women died while sleeping in sheds.
Campaigners say the legislation must be properly enforced, but say behaviour also needs to change.
Under the ancient Hindu practice, women who have their periods or who have just given birth are seen as impure or as bringers of bad luck, and can be forced to sleep in huts or cattle sheds.
They are banned from touching cattle and men, denied access to some foods and can be barred from toilet and washing facilities in the house, forcing them to walk long distances from their villages.
They can also be exposed to extreme cold in the winter and criminal attacks, and young women cannot go to school.
Last month a teenage girl died after being bitten by a snake while sleeping in a hut outside her home during her period.
Her death followed that of a 15-year-old in December 2016, who suffocated after lighting a fire in the shed where she was staying to keep warm.
Chhaupadi was formally outlawed by the Nepalese government in 2005 but no penalties were put in place, and it still continues in remote western rural areas of Nepal.
The new law, passed on Wednesday, states that menstruating women or those who have just given birth should not be "kept in chhaupadi or treated with any kind of similar discrimination or untouchable and inhuman behaviour".
Krishna Bhakta Pokharel, an MP and co-ordinator of the subcommittee that drafted the law, said the legislation would come into force in a year.
"For the next year we will conduct social campaigns to tell the people about this new law," he said.
Pashupati Kunwar, a campaigner against Chhaupadi from the western district of Achham, told the BBC she was "very happy" that the law had been passed.
"It was a long struggle for us to raise awareness against the inhuman practice of Chhaupadi," she said. "Now the government should be proactive in enforcing this law. It must be enforced if it is to have any meaning."
Apsara Neupane, who was recently elected deputy mayor of Chandannath municipality in western Nepal, said the main problem was changing people's behaviour.
"Having a strong law is important but reforming social customs may take more time," she said. "In any case, I am glad to see that there has been a gradual change in how people perceive the Chhaupadi practice."
A US state department human rights report, citing figures from a survey in Nepal in 2010, said 19% of women between the ages of 15 and 49 practised chhaupadi across the nation.
The Old Bailey jury saw a transcript of the message left while the prince was at Sandhurst military academy.
The 2005 document was one kept by former NoW royal editor Clive Goodman, who denies misconduct in public office.
He is one of eight people who deny a series of charges. Five are former News of the World journalists.
Goodman was jailed for phone hacking in 2007 and subsequently dismissed from his job.
During Friday's prosecution opening statements, the court was also told:
Prosecutor Andrew Edis QC told the court that documents from Goodman's employment case against News International, which owned the now-closed NoW, had recently become available after he waived his legal privilege.
Goodman kept the documents as evidence to show that what he had done had been sanctioned at a high level of the NoW, Mr Edis said.
The first document shown to the jury was a transcript of the voicemail message Prince Harry left on the mobile phone of Mr Lowther-Pinkerton, an ex-SAS man serving as his private secretary, in which the prince asked for information about the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in London.
The transcript included the words: "Just wondering if you have any info at all on siege on the Iranian embassy because I need to write an essay quite quickly on that. I need some inf. Have most of the stuff but if you have extra."
Mr Edis told the jury that the voicemail came to the attention of Goodman, who was interested in it as a potential allegation of misconduct to do with essay writing against Prince Harry.
The prince was doing his officer training when the events took place around December 2005.
The message was accessed by private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who was jailed for phone hacking along with Goodman in 2007 and has admitted further phone-hacking charges.
The court heard there were discussions between Goodman and his boss, Mr Coulson, about how to run the Harry story without exposing its source.
They decided not to refer to the siege in their coverage as it would be "too precise to get through unnoticed".
Mr Edis said: "Everyone would know that they hacked his voicemail because obviously Harry and Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton both knew that this voicemail was sent and received."
Mr Edis suggested to the jury that the reason Goodman had kept the emails was because of his arrest.
Goodman's prosecution caused Mr Coulson, 45, who denies charges including conspiracy to phone hack, and others at News International to be "extremely worried about what Clive Goodman would do, or say, in the course of defending himself".
Mr Edis continued: "We can see that they had every reason to be worried."
The court heard that concern about keeping Goodman "on-board" was also felt by Mrs Brooks when she was editor of the Sun.
Mr Edis told the jury about an email exchange between Mrs Brooks and Goodman in which she offered him a job shortly after he had been released from prison in 2007.
The court also heard that a source in the military had provided the Sun with a photograph of Prince William at a party while he was at Sandhurst.
Read profiles of the eight defendants
An email from a Sun reporter to Mrs Brooks stated: "My best contact at Sandhurst, who has provided a string of great stuff over a period of months, is offering us a picture of William at a James Bond party dressed as a Bond girl. He is wearing a bikini and an open Hawaiian shirt.
"The chap who has the picture wants £4,000 up front. It will open the door for future exclusives and info."
The newspaper did not run the photo.
Mr Edis told the court that Mrs Brooks personally authorised payments to an MoD official via a Sun journalist.
He said the only reason for the payments was to make sure the Sun got the story first and some involved the reporting of the deaths of members of the armed forces.
"Sometimes these payments were about things coming into public domain anyway," he added.
"In which case there was no good reason at all for the MoD source to accept money to leak them early. The only advantage of that was that the Sun would get the exclusive.
"It may concern the death of an active serviceman... it really matters when it is released and how it is released to other people affected by it."
Mr Edis said: "Mrs Brooks was involved in a conspiracy to commit the criminal offence of misconduct in a public office - and she knew it."
Mrs Brooks denies conspiracy to phone hack, misconduct in public office, and perverting the course of justice.
The court has heard that three former News of the World journalists, who are not on trial, as well as Mulcaire, had pleaded guilty to phone-hacking charges.
The trial was adjourned until Monday.
Countries covering two-thirds of the world's population now have measures in place to encourage people to stop smoking.
But tobacco still kills more than 7 million people every year.
Tobacco companies say they are not opposed to "reasonable" regulation.
The proportion of smokers and those using other tobacco products around the world is falling - but it is happening slowly.
One in five people over the age of 15 now use tobacco, compared to one in four in 2007, according to the WHO report on the "global tobacco epidemic".
Dozens of countries have introduced measures to discourage people from smoking over the the past decade, such as introducing higher taxes for products, advertising bans and smoke free zones.
Nepal: Introduced the world's largest health warnings on tobacco packaging in 2015, covering 90% of packets.
India: Launched a nationwide tobacco cessation programme and toll-free quit line in 2016.
The Philippines: Introduced a "Sin Tax Reform Law" which increased tax on tobacco significantly over time, earning an extra $5,2bn for other public services, including healthcare.
"There has been progress, but there's more to do," said Dr Vinayak Prasad, head of WHO's tobacco control unit in Geneva.
"Most of tobacco usage is now happening in the Middle East, in Asian economies and (tobacco use ) in Africa is also adding up"
He said that tobacco companies are now increasingly setting their sights on "easier, less regulated markets", and putting pressure on their governments.
"Many of these countries have not recognised the full value of tobacco taxation to make tobacco more expensive.
"Industry has given arguments on the economic value of tobacco or illicit trade.
"But the health cost burden and economic burden (in total $1.4 trillion) are far in excess than the contribution from the tobacco industry."
He said the tobacco industry's key aim is to make profits, and said they shouldn't be at the table when it comes to national health policies.
"We need to recognise that the tobacco industry is not a friend of the government, they are only there to make profits."
Some of the world's biggest tobacco manufacturing companies have told the BBC that whilst they do not oppose reasonable tobacco regulation, they do need to be part of the debate on policy.
Jonathan Duce from Japan Tobacco International, responsible for brands such as Benson and Hedges and Camel cigarettes, said: "We believe that public officials and policing organizations should have access to all facts when it comes to policy-making, including from businesses.
"Topics such as combating organized crime in tobacco should not be addressed in isolation of the available knowledge from various experts which contributes to informing and driving policies that are effective."
He offered his "profound respect" and "eternal condolences" for US soldiers who died in the conflict.
Mr Abe is on a state visit to the US to discuss a wide-ranging trans-Pacific trade deal.
He and US President Barack Obama have also agreed on new guidelines for defence co-operation.
But his speech to the joint session of Congress was scrutinised for comments on Japan's aggression in World War Two. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the conflict.
Mr Abe said he had visited the World War Two memorial in Washington and reflected upon the 400,000 American troops who died with "deep repentance in my heart".
"My dear friends, on behalf of Japan and the Japanese people, I offer with profound respect my eternal condolences to the souls of all American people that were lost during World War Two,'' he said, to warm applause.
Mr Abe also acknowledged that Japan had "brought suffering to the peoples in Asian countries", adding: "We must not avert our eyes from that."
However, correspondents say he stopped short of offering his own apology for Japan's conduct during the war, which included the sexual enslavement of tens of thousands of Asian women by Japanese troops.
In the audience was Lee Yong-soo, one of thousands of Korean women forced into Japanese military brothels during the war.
She was invited to Congress by Democratic Representative Mike Honda, a strong critic of Mr Abe.
Mr Abe was the first Japanese Prime Minister to address a joint session of the US Congress.
He also urged lawmakers to support the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), "for the sake of our children and our children's children"
The TPP is aimed at liberalising markets in 12 countries and the US and Japan are among the biggest players.
Mr Abe said the deal was about spreading shared values of rule of law, democracy and freedom.
He added: "It is also about our security. Long-term, its strategic value is awesome. We should never forget that.
"Let us bring the TPP to a successful conclusion through our joint leadership."
Paralympic and world javelin champion Arnold, 23, has been a mainstay in the British squad since competing in the Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008 and she will be targeting her third world title.
Greaves, 34, is a nine-time Paralympic and world medallist and he will be looking to secure his fourth title in the F44 discus competition.
The 51-man team will compete in London from 14-23 July and a record number of tickets have already been sold.
The M53 in Wirral was closed after police received reports from motorists at about 19:15 GMT on Thursday.
Officers found the body on the central reservation. The circumstances of the man's death are unclear but officers believe there had been a crash.
The victim's identity has not been confirmed and no-one else was reported injured, police said. Some traffic restrictions are in place.
The M53 between junctions 2 and 3 was closed for a time, but has since reopened.
Restrictions are also in place on the bridge from Upton Road and motorists are advised to use other routes.
Lauren Jeska, a transgender athlete, admitted trying to murder Ralph Knibbs at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium.
The "cool, calculated attack" came amid a dispute over her eligibility to compete as a female.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that Jeska, 42, stabbed Mr Knibbs in the head and neck, leaving a 2cm hole with "blood pumping out".
Read more on this story
Jeska also pleaded guilty, in September, to causing actual bodily harm to Kevan Taylor and Tim Begley, who tried to intervene during the attack, and two counts of illegal possession of a knife.
Running as a woman, Jeska, of Wesley Terrace in Machynlleth, Powys, was England's champion fell-runner three times between 2010 and 2012.
Prosecuting, Richard Atkins QC told the court she became embroiled in the dispute with UK Athletics and failed to produce samples of her testosterone levels.
As a result, her racing results had been declared null and void, the court heard.
A week before the attack, Mr Knibbs, who was UK Athletics' head of human resources and welfare, went to meet Jeska at her home to discuss the "long-term" issue with the sporting governing body.
On 22 March last year, she drove from her home in Wales to Birmingham with two knives hidden in a rucksack and walked into the open-plan UK Athletics office before launching her attack on Mr Knibbs.
One eyewitness said Jeska looked "as though she were trying to skewer meat".
Julie Warburton, for Jeska, told the court she feared further blood tests would reveal her transgender status publicly.
She added that Jeska "feels awful" and was "extremely shocked to hear of the effects of her actions".
Judge Simon Drew QC said before passing sentence he had considered various psychiatric reports and the nature of the attack.
But he said it had been planned and executed with "chilling precision", meaning Jeska posed a "serious risk in the future".
The court heard how Mr Knibbs, a former rugby player with Bristol, suffered a stroke at the scene which temporarily blinded him in one eye.
He now has limited vision in both eyes, rendering him disabled, his movement is restricted and he has difficulty eating due to severed nerves.
Mr Knibbs said he was in a "constant battle with his emotions".
Accountant Tim Begley was stabbed in the ribs but the blade did not penetrate deeply, while finance director Kevan Taylor was cut on his left hand and fingers as he restrained Jeska.
Jeska, who was a member of Todmorden Harriers, Aberystwyth Athletics Club and another club based in Snowdonia, must also serve five years on extended licence and will not be eligible for parole for 12 years.
Speaking after the case, her parents Pauline and Graham Jameson said they were praying for the full physical and emotional recovery of Mr Knibbs.
During Jeska's "mental health crisis" they said she "felt traumatised and had flashbacks which caused fantasies of doing something drastic" and had "twice asked for help from the NHS but was not referred for psychiatric help".
"Whatever the technical psychiatric diagnosis, it is clear to us as parents that the assault is only understandable as the consequence of a mental health crisis precipitated by the affair with UK Athletics," her parents said.
Prosecutors say Eric Sloan Parker, 26, used unreasonable force against Sureshbhai Patel, a 57-year-old grandfather who recently moved to the US.
Mr Patel suffered injuries in February including partial paralysis when Mr Parker pushed him to the ground.
Mr Parker, who maintains his innocence, also faces state assault charges.
Mr Patel was walking outside his son's home on 6 February in an Alabama suburb when police said they received a call from a neighbour about a suspicious person.
Footage from police cameras showed Mr Patel - who speaks no English - trying to walk away when the officers approached him. They detained him and eventually shoved him to the ground.
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley apologised to the Indian government for the treatment of Patel, calling it a case of "excessive force". Mr Parker lost his job.
Hank Sherrod, an attorney for Mr Patel, said he is recovering but remains in a rehab centre in Huntsville.
He said three alleged gang members claimed the students were handed over to them by police.
They said some were already asphyxiated and they shot the others dead, before setting fire to all the bodies.
A total of 43 students went missing after clashing with police on 26 September in the town of Iguala.
A spokesman for their families said they would not accept they were dead until it had been officially confirmed by Argentine forensic scientists working on the case.
The suspects from the Guerreros Unidos drug gang were recently arrested in connection with the disappearances.
Relatives of the missing said they had been told that six bags of unidentified human remains had been found along a river near where the students vanished.
Mr Murillo warned that it would be difficult to identify the charred remains and that authorities would continue to consider the students as missing until DNA tests confirmed the identities.
Previous searches have uncovered mass graves in the area, but initial tests suggested they did not contain the remains of the students.
Mr Murillo showed videotaped confessions by the suspects who said they had loaded the students into dumper trucks and taken them to a landfill site in Cocula, a city near Iguala.
About 15 of the students were already dead when they arrived and the rest were shot, according to the suspects.
Mr Murillo said the bodies were then burned with petrol, tyres, firewood and plastic in an inferno that lasted for 14 hours.
"The fire lasted from midnight to 2pm the next day. The criminals could not handle the bodies (for three hours) due to the heat," he said.
He said that the suspects then crushed the remains, stuffed them into bags and tossed them in a river.
Mr Murillo showed videos of investigators combing through small pieces of burned remains that were found in black plastic bags.
The suspects said they were not sure how many students they had taken but one said there were more than 40, Mr Murillo added.
"The high level of degradation caused by the fire in the remains we found make it very difficult to extract the DNA that will allow an identification,'' he added.
In what was at times a very graphic press conference, Attorney General Jesus Murillo laid out his office's findings into the disappearance of the students.
When they were handed over to the gang, around 15 of the students had already died from asphyxiation, he said. The remaining students were shot dead near a rubbish dump.
At that point, members of the gang - according to their own testimony, video clips of which were shown by the attorney general - burnt the students' bodies in a pyre.
Human remains from the river are now to be identified by experts in Austria, but Mr Murillo said it wasn't clear how long the process would take.
However, relatives of the missing remained sceptical. The families have been highly critical of the investigation into the students' disappearance.
"As long as there are no results, our sons are alive," Felipe de la Cruz, the father of one of the disappeared, said in a statement.
"Today they're trying to close the case this way... a blatant way to further our torture by the federal government."
The case has shocked Mexico. Thousands have staged protests over what they say is collusion between officials and organised crime, along with government inaction.
President Enrique Pena Nieto has faced widespread criticism and on Friday he vowed to hunt down all those responsible for the "horrible crime".
The students from a teacher training college in Ayotzinapa, in Guerrero state, had travelled to nearby Iguala to protest against what they said were discriminatory hiring practices, and to collect funds for their college.
But they went missing after clashes with the police.
Six people were also killed after police opened fire and witnesses described seeing the students being bundled into police cars.
More than 70 people have been arrested in connection with the disappearances, including the Mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca, and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda, who were detained in Mexico City on Tuesday.
Mexican officials accused Mr Abarca of ordering police to confront the students to prevent them from disrupting a public speech given by his wife.

The figures were part of a display on top of a post box in Rayleigh High Street, installed by members of Craft Club on 17 December.
Member Helen Thomas said whoever removed the two figures had unpicked them "very carefully".
The 20cm (8in) high Mary took "more than a week to make" and her theft has left her creator "very upset".
"Perhaps somebody saw them and thought they'd make nice toys," Mrs Thomas said of the characters, who were first noticed missing on 19 December.

This year, Craft Club placed four Christmas-themed yarn bombs on post boxes around south Essex, including in Leigh-on-Sea and Chalkwell.
The club also made a 4.5m (15ft) high Christmas tree made from squares donated from around the world.
The yarn bombs are raising money for the Castle Point Association for Voluntary Services.

"We are pleased he has decided to join the club."
Coromoto, in the city of Merida in the Venezuelan Andes, is the latest to fall victim to the country's economic woes.
The shop is listed in the Guinness Book of Records for having 863 different exotic-tasting ice creams.
Venezuela has been hit by acute shortages of certain staples, such as milk and toilet paper, in recent years.
The economic slowdown, high rates of inflation and strict controls on foreign exchange are all seen as contributing factors that have led to the crisis.
"We are closed during the season due to shortage of milk," the ice-cream store announced (in Spanish) on its Facebook page.
Eukaris Castillo, one of the employees, told BBC Mundo that the decision was made after customers complained that the flavours on offer were not as many as advertised.
Manuel da Silva, the shop's owner, decided it was best to close the parlour during the holiday season, because he does not want the reputation of his store to be affected, Ms Castillo said.
She said that it was hard to find milk in ordinary shops and the price on the black market had increased six-fold in recent months, making it unprofitable for Coromoto to offer all its usual flavours.
Coromoto, which offers ice-cream flavours ranging from beer to beans, hopes to re-open in mid-January.
President Nicolas Maduro has seen his popularity ratings fall over the shortages, which he blames on political opponents waging an "economic war" against him.
The opposition, however, accuse the socialist government of Mr Maduro and that of his predecessor in office, Hugo Chavez, of mismanaging the economy for the past 15 years they have been in office.
Demi Wylie organised a small team to liaise with the couples and guests during industrial action that affected CalMac sailings in June last year.
Some travel plans for the more than 600 people involved were adjusted so they could reach the Western Isles weddings.
Ms Wylie, 23, has been put forward for a Scottish Transport Award.
She will find out if she has won the Frontline Employee of the Year category at a ceremony in Glasgow on 16 June.
Ms Wylie is based in CalMac's contact centre in Gourock which handles calls across the company's services.
Ferries had been key to getting brides, grooms and many of their guests to ceremonies and venues for the weddings across the Hebridean islands chain.
The industrial action came amid a row over tendering process for the Clyde and Hebrides Ferries Network.
Bayer said it was in advanced talks with Monsanto, but warned there was no guarantee a deal would result.
Its initial offer of $122 a share in May was rejected by the US firm for being "financially inadequate".
The record all-cash offer valued Monsanto at $62bn (£43bn at the time).
Bayer raised its offer to $125 a share in July but was again rebuffed.
Combining Bayer and Monsanto would create the world's biggest agricultural supplier and be a market leader in the US, Europe and Asia.
Bayer's farm business produces seeds as well as chemicals to combat weeds and insects, but it is better known for its healthcare products such as Aspirin and Alka-Seltzer.
Monsanto is primarily known for its genetically modified seeds for crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat and sugar cane. Such seeds have attracted criticism from some environmental activists.
The higher offer comes amid a wave of mergers in the agriculture sector.
Rivals including Dow Chemical, DuPont and Syngenta have all announced tie-ups recently, although some have yet to be cleared by regulators.
The drop in commodity prices has put pressure on companies such as Monsanto, with farmers' cutting orders for supplies.
However, a Bayer takeover of Monsanto could raise US competition concerns because of the sheer size of the combined company and the control it would have over the global seeds and sprays markets.
Farming groups have raised concerns that such mergers could lead to fewer choices and higher prices.
Insiders said that although the two companies were close to reaching an agreement on price, they had yet to agree on a strategy on how to deal with potential regulatory hurdles.
Shares in Bayer have fallen by close to a fifth this year and ended at €94.24 on Monday, valuing the company at €78bn.
Monsanto has risen 9% since the start of the year and closed on Friday at $107.44, making it worth just over $47bn. Wall Street was closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday.
The collision happened on the Dromore Road at about 22:00 BST on Saturday.
Mr Mills was 49 years old and was from the Omagh area.
A 40-year-old woman was taken to hospital for treatment to non-life threatening injuries.
Police said she has been arrested in connection with the collision.
Theresa May keeps saying that an independent Scotland would be out of the EU.
However much she might wish that to be otherwise, I have not heard Nicola Sturgeon dispute the prime minister's claim.
Indeed, her timescale for a second independence referendum seems to acknowledge that as a possibility at the very least.
The first minister wants the vote between autumn 2018 and spring 2019 - just before or just after Brexit negotiations end.
If Scotland voted for independence at that time, the UK as a whole might already be out of the EU or be just about to leave.
That would mean that SNP ministers need to change their policy on EU relations from what they proposed in 2014.
Then they promised "a smooth transition to independent EU membership".
They said this could be agreed in the 18 months between a "yes" vote and the date of independence.
And they said a traditional membership application under Article 49 of the Treaty of the European Union would not be required.
They proposed using the general provisions of Article 48 instead.
You may remember this special arrangement was rejected by - among others - Jose Manuel Barosso, the then President of the EU commission.
Anyway, how might the SNP approach be different in the context of Brexit?
I do not think Nicola Sturgeon will formally drop her policy of seeking full EU membership.
But I do think she might propose a step-by-step route to achieving that.
In other words, an independent Scotland could initially seek a Norway-style relationship with the EU.
That is, membership of the European Economic Area (the single market) through membership of the European Free Trade Association.
Nicola Sturgeon previously said she would accept Brexit and not call for an independence referendum if Scotland could achieve this status *within* the UK.
Membership of the EEA would require the approval of all EU member states.
It would be far less contentious than full EU membership for countries like Spain, keen to discourage their own nationalist movements.
EEA membership might also be easier to sell to independence supporters who voted to leave the EU in 2016.
From this position, an independent Scotland could then choose to apply for full EU membership.
What is less clear is whether or not the Scottish government would propose deciding this through a further referendum.
Conradh na Gaeilge (CnG) has produced an implementation document detailing what an act would entail.
It estimates that such an act would cost £2m a year to run, in addition to the £8.5m one-off cost.
The group said the intention would be to make implementation of an act "as practical and workable as possible".
The document, which has been seen by the BBC, states that an act should gradually be introduced over a five-year period.
The power of words
It proposes 11 different sections as part of an act covering elements such as use of Irish:
The document estimates that it would cost £100,000 to establish a central translation department at Stormont.
A further £50,000 would be spent installing a simultaneous translation system in the assembly.
CnG has estimated it would then cost £500,000 a year to run the translation department, including the cost of employing 10 staff.
Among other estimated costs, £372,000 per year would be spent training workers in public bodies to speak Irish.
About £750,000 - £1m would initially be spent translating public websites, forms and documents.
A further £1.5m a year would be used to enable bilingual road signs to be provided.
The document also recommends that a language commissioner is appointed to ensure the act is being complied with.
It says a commissioner's office would cost between £300,000 and £400,000 per year.
"It is a very reasonable cost, especially if the act is implemented properly and willingly," says CnG.
The document also calls for the BBC to spend £10m on Irish language services.
This would ensure that there would be more Irish language included among the services of the BBC and that costs for this would come from the current budget of the BBC," it states.
"The majority of parties and recently elected MLAs support an Irish language act."
"We now have a unique and historical opportunity to settle this long-running issue."
A consultation document on an act produced by the Department for Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) in February 2015 did not estimate how much it might cost to implement.
Sinn Féin and the DUP have subsequently disagreed over the cost of Irish language legislation.
DUP leader Arlene Foster has previously said the party would never agree to an Irish language act.
Dr Niall Comer, President of Conradh na Gaeilge, said they wanted to inform people of what an act involved.
"Already, five parties alongside a majority 50 of the 90 newly-elected MLAs support protective legislation for the Irish-language in the form of an act, " he said.
"We are calling on the parties now to come together and support these proposals, and to implement Irish language legislation, as recently recommended by both the Council of Europe and the United Nations, and as was promised over ten years ago in the St Andrew's Agreement."
The organisation's National Council will vote on new reforms at Saturday's extraordinary general meeting.
The reforms are needed to meet a new code of conduct for sport governing bodies - and those which fail to adopt it could lose their funding.
"We must decide how we want our sport to look in the future," added Howden.
"We can choose to be a sport which has a leading role in the public life of this country, or we can choose to turn the clock back 30 or more years."
His statement comes after former British Cycling chief executive Peter King told the BBC that he expected the proposals to be rejected by the National Council, which represents 130,000 members.
King says the board now faces a fight secure a 75% majority required to vote through the changes.
To date, the government has had mixed results persuading sports to adopt its Code for Sports Governance, designed to improve governance standards across sport.
In May, the Football Association's council finally approved reforms, having been threatened with a £15m funding cut.
But earlier this month, the national governing body for table tennis became the first to reject the government's standards and had its full £9m Sport England funding award suspended as a result.
Funding agency Sport England has allocated £17m to British Cycling to boost grassroots participation, while UK Sport is set to invest £26m for its Olympic and Paralympic teams' preparations for Tokyo 2020.
British Cycling is one of the country's best-funded and most successful sports governing bodies and has been the driving force behind the country's unprecedented success in recent Olympic and Paralympic Games - Britain won a combined 33 medals across the Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics.
But its continued funding now hinges on complying with sports minister Tracey Crouch's governance code.
From November, boards of governing bodies must be more independent and diverse, and be "the ultimate decision-making body and exercise all of the powers of the organisation".
British Cycling executives - including Howden and chairman Jonathan Browning - have been attending a series of regional meetings in a bid to convince members to support a package of reforms designed to meet the new standards.
These include:
This year's pay rise will be back-dated to April.
The deal was reached in September but Scotland's largest teaching union, the EIS, sought approval from its members before accepting the offer.
It also includes a written commitment on attempting to manage teachers' workload.
Education secretary Angela Constance said: "Reaching this agreement on a pay increase demonstrates the benefit of government, employers and unions working together positively, particularly in the current challenging financial climate."
EIS salaries convener Tom Tracey said: "In a difficult financial context this deal was the best that could be achieved through negotiation.
"We are aware that teachers in England have no right to salary progression and have pay linked to performance.
"This offer exceeds the pay policy that is applied by the Westminster government and while teachers in Scotland continue to pay the price of austerity, a modest pay uplift is welcome at this time."
Teachers are employed by councils but pay and conditions are agreed nationally.
The offer also covers teachers employed by councils, including Glasgow, which are no longer members of the council umbrella body Cosla.

Olympian Jasmine Joyce is also named in the 12-strong squad alongside Dyddgu Hywel and Elinor Snowsill.
Belgium, Sweden and hosts France are Wales' opponents in their pool this weekend.
Wales are hoping to qualify for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
Squad: Sian Williams, Shona Powell-Hughes, Dyddgu Hywel, Gemma Rowland, Jodie Evans, Rhiannon Parker, Keira Bevan, Elinor Snowsill, Hannah Jones, Philippa Tuttiett, Sinead Breeze, Jasmine Joyce.
The series is 1-1 after two matches, with Friday's game in Kingston the first of three that count towards the Women's Championship.
England sit fourth in the Championship, with the top four teams qualifying for the 2017 World Cup in the UK.
"Winning 3-0 is realistic, but it will be hard," Knight, 25, said.
"They are a very good team, with world-class players and in their own conditions, they are probably favourites," she added. "The first two games have shown we are evenly matched."
If England fail to qualify in the remaining matches in Jamaica, they will have another chance in Sri Lanka in November.
After winning the first ODI in Montego Bay by five runs, they were on course to win the second at 93-3 chasing 149 for victory.
But Knight's dismissal was the first of seven wickets for 17 runs, including four wickets in 10 balls for West Indies' pace bowler Deandra Dottin, to give the hosts victory by 38 runs.
"We gave them a sniff and they broke the door down," Knight told BBC Sport. "Seventeen runs for seven wickets wasn't ideal and we have to find a way to combat that.
"Myself and Nat Sciver were disappointed that we got in, then got out. If we're ever in that situation again we have to adapt and find a way to stop the rot."
Pace bowler Anya Shrubsole, England's vice-captain, was ruled out of the first two ODIs because of a side strain, but bowled during the interval of the second match and looks likely to be fit for Friday's match at Sabina Park.
Her return would give an England a decision to make on the balance of an attack that included three specialist spinners in Montego Bay.
"Hopefully Anya will be ready to go soon," Knight said. "She's a key player for us and we've missed her in the first two games.
"She's one of the best bowlers in the world, so you find a way to get her into the team. Someone might be hard done by to be left out."
The anomaly about Anomalisa, however, written and co-directed by four-time Oscar nominee Charlie Kaufman, is that it's a stop-motion animation - "an animation truly intended only for adults", he says.
The New York-born screenwriter, who won an Academy Award for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in 2004 and is also the writer of 2002's Adaptation and Being John Malkovich, first created Anomalisa as a radio play more than a decade ago.
British actor David Thewlis and Jennifer Jason Leigh, recently the star of Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, took the parts of Michael Stone, a self-help speaker who is suffering within, and Lisa, a socially awkward sales rep, who meet at a conference.
Kaufman says he didn't really know who David Thewlis was 10 years ago, adding: "I just liked his work, and the same for Jennifer Jason Leigh.
"I wrote David a note asking him if he'd come over to the States and do this sound-only play for me and he did. I couldn't imagine casting any other voices for the movie either."
Anomalisa was first performed in 2005, but Leigh says she "was in love with Lisa from the very first minute".
"When we did the plays, I was so sad when it was over, it felt like an all-too-brief moment. The film treatment was proposed quite soon afterwards though, so I suppose she's stayed with me all these years.
"It's quite a challenge for an actor - it's sound only, no interaction between us, even when we were standing on stage reading the script for the play.
"But an animation feels like precisely the right treatment because the focus of the film really is on voices - how difficult it is to hear a different one in a crowd, one that means anything to us."
Anomalisa is co-directed by Kaufman and TV producer Duke Johnson, but it was eventually brought to life by funding from Kickstarter. Kaufman describes being surprised and relieved to get the money to make the film.
"We've been working on it for three years under the radar, with very few people knowing about it and it was a struggle," he says.
"We didn't know whether we'd get any positive reaction at all."
At its debut at the Venice and Telluride film festivals last year, Anomalisa was described by Rolling Stone magazine as a "masterpiece", while Empire claimed "it has more heart and soul… than 99.9% of live action movies."
The Guardian also predicted: "Kaufman and co-director Duke Johnson offer images so moving and yet also so filthy, Anomalisa might just make the first R-rated best animation Oscar winner"- a reference to the sexually explicit scenes in the film.
The film was nominated in the best animation film category at this year's Oscars, but the statuette itself went to Pixar's Inside Out.
Kaufman maintains he's glad he took the risk of making an animation, saying what he calls "the central conceit of the film - the lack of ability to make connections with other humans that Michael Stone struggles with - would be difficult to accomplish with live action.
"The emotional connection audiences are having to Anomalisa is unique to the animation," he continues. "It seems to have this special power that people are reacting to.
"I'm told that with non-human actors you can identify more with the characters as you're not blinded by who the actors are in real life. It allows you to be immersed in them."
"You identify in a deeper way, although I keep forgetting that they are puppets," says Leigh."Also, I think the themes of the film - how hard it is to make a connection, to hear a unique voice in a crowd - I think everyone can relate to it.
"The screenplay is set right before texting became normal, and I used to spend a lot of time... on the phone to my friends. Hearing voices was the way we connected.
"Who bothers with calling someone now? How often do we really hear someone's voice speaking into our life? I think we yearn for it."
Much of Charlie Kaufman's work - from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to Synecdoche, New York, his 2008 directorial debut - features male protagonists enduring internal suffering, but under darkly funny circumstances. Anomalisa continues in that vein.
"If you're a writer, you are always looking in the mirror. You are always trying to be honest about what worries you, what frustrates you," says Kaufman.
"I have to use my personal feelings or else it's just not going to work. So there are always elements of me in my films.
"I think what's the relief about this though is that even though Michael Stone is a middle-aged man, I've had 20-year-olds coming up to me and saying how much they related to him.
"I think the lack of ability we have to form meaningful connections is the struggle of the human soul at any age."

The company stopped sales of its iPhones, iPads and other products in the country after a day in which the currency went into free-fall.
The rouble has lost more than 20% this week, despite a dramatic decision to raise interest rates from 10.5% to 17%.
By afternoon trade the rouble was flat with one dollar buying 68 roubles.
Its all time low, set on Wednesday, saw one dollar buying as many as 79 roubles.
Apple last month increased its prices in Russia by 20% after the weakening rouble left products in the country cheaper than in the rest of Europe.
Russia's central bank said on Wednesday it had spent almost $2bn intervening in the currency market on Monday.
It has spent around $80bn trying to prop up its rouble this year, but despite that, the currency has lost more than half its value against the dollar since January, with cheaper oil and Western sanctions over its stance over Ukraine the chief factors.
Both of these have weakened the Russian economy.
Russia's central bank has pledged fresh further measures to try to stabilise its currency, with First Deputy Governor Sergei Shvetsov describing the situation as "critical".
The rouble's slide this week was prompted by fears that the US was considering a fresh set of sanctions against the country for its support for separatists in Ukraine.
Many cancer patients currently have to travel abroad for the treatment, which uses a high-energy beam of protons to destroy cancerous cells.
A ceremony will take place later to mark the start of building work, which is set to be completed in 2018.
Manchester and University College London were selected in 2012 as the two NHS centres for the new treatment.
The five-storey Christie building, on Oak Road in Withington, includes space for hi-tech radiotherapy equipment as well as rooms for treating patients.
It is hoped the new centre will treat up to 750 people a year and employ about 160 staff.
The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), which hosts the world-famous tournament, has been pricing its latest debenture issue, with the cash raised going towards putting a roof over Court Number One.
The new debenture, which runs from 2017 to 2021, will set back tennis lovers some £31,000.
Sporting debenture holders pay a set sum of money, usually quite a sizeable amount, to be guaranteed the right to buy tickets to a top level sporting club or championship.
The seats are among the best seats available in the stadium, and the money raised is then usually used for capital works, such as stadium development.
At Wimbledon, debentures are issued in five year cycles, with separate schemes for the Centre and Number One "show" courts, which host the big-name matches.
The AELTC say their schemes are a way of satisfying a certain high-end, niche, ticket market, while at the same time raising money without recourse to public expenditure.
"The proceeds of the next Number One Court debenture issue will help to fund the implementation of the next stage of our Wimbledon master plan," says AELTC chairman Philip Brook.
When complete, the facilities will include a remodelled Number One Court, with a retractable roof, two extra rows of seating, and increased hospitality boxes around the court.
In addition a new public plaza will be built in place of Court 19, and a basement dining area for officials will also be constructed.
"It is a big project, with the major work beginning after the 2016 tournament, and everything will be ready for the start of the 2019 championship," says Mr Brook.
Debentures have a long history at Wimbledon, starting in 1920 when the first £100,000 issue was used to buy the current Church Road site and fund building of the Centre Court.
Some £100m was raised from the last Centre Court debenture, with money from that directed towards that court's roof project.
The Court Number One debenture provides tickets for nine days' play - the first week of Wimbledon and then until the Wednesday of the second week (when all remaining big matches move to Centre Court). An emergency extra day is also built into the package in case a day of play is lost to rain.
Some sporting debentures offer an annual interest rate return to holders. That is not the case at Wimbledon but holders also get access to facilities such as bars, restaurants and car parks.
Existing debenture holders get first chance to buy the next issue. On Court One there are 1,000 debenture seats out of the current 11,500 capacity, which will be expanded to 12,400 with the building work.
"Raising funds through debenture issues means that we can keep our ticket prices for everybody else at very affordable levels," says Mr Brook.
As well as providing access to must-see tennis matches, the tickets that come with the debenture - unlike other Wimbledon tickets - can be legally sold on, either through the AELTC or privately.
The debentures themselves can also be traded via Numis Securities, with recent sale prices announced in the Financial Times.
Such a fundraising method by UK sporting organisations is not as widespread as in the US. They are also generally pitched at such a price that only business people or the wealthy can afford them.
In the UK, as well as Wimbledon tennis, the Rugby Football Union and Welsh Rugby Football Union have issued debentures, as have the MCC and Hampshire cricket clubs.
In the early 1990s football club Arsenal issued a debenture to help fund a new stand at Highbury, while a similar proposed plan by West Ham United met with fan fury.
Meanwhile, the business plan for the building of the new Wembley Stadium in the 2000s was heavily based on the issue of 10-year Club Wembley debenture packages.
Alan Levett is managing director of Alad, a firm which publishes specialist magazine Pan Stadia & Arena Management.
"The West Ham debenture plan brought a lot of protest from supporters," he says. "They reacted angrily, and thought it was fan exploitation."
He adds: "A more recent and famous example would be with the Club seats at Wembley, it was a major part of the FA's funding of the new stadium. It will be fascinating to see how their renewals process goes, as those tickets were for 10 years from 2007."
In the US the system of using supporter cash to build or improve infrastructure is commonly called the "personal seat licence" (PSL).
They are in place in many baseball stadiums for the premier tier and luxury lounge seats, and are also becoming very common in American football at college and NFL level.
For example, roughly one-third of the cost of building the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey was met by the two NFL teams which use the stadium, the Giants and the Jets, issuing PSLs.
And despite often initially being met with fan outcry, persistent sales efforts usually mean the seats' licences sell out.
Sports clubs in the US which are currently raising funds towards new stadiums through variants on the PSL include the American football teams the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons.
The Vikings's scheme is actually called a Stadium Builder's License (SBL), but is a similar beast to a debenture or personal seat licence; here you have to pay between $500 and $9,500 in order to secure the right to buy your season ticket.
"Debenture schemes are more popular in the US, where the whole concept was invented," says Mr Levett. "It is taken as a norm over there."
"In the US they were quicker to appreciate the quality of the seats being offered. However they have traditionally have had bigger stadiums and more space to offer these sorts of premium seats.
"Furthermore, corporations there have always been keen to use sport as a method of entertaining clients, and so would snap up these debenture seats."
Mr Levett, whose business also runs stadium trade shows, says there is scope to introduce this corporate seat model in other countries around the world, such as Japan.
"But I don't think there is a great scope in the UK for widening this sort of arrangement. It works for what you call the elite sports and events like Wimbledon," he says.
"I don't think we will see it being used as it is in the US, towards building new football stadiums."
The biggest disparities in prize money were found in football, cricket, golf, darts, snooker and squash.
"There is a gap, it needs to be closed but it's not going to happen overnight. We do know that women's sport is very exciting, we know it can draw really big audiences but we need more media coverage and more commercial investment," Grant told BBC Sport.
"It's not just about the bottom line and profits and the return on investment which I believe they will get, it's also taking part in the battle for gender balance and fairness in the 21st century."
A total of 56 global sports were looked at in the extensive study. Out of 35 sports that pay prize money, 25 pay equally and 10 do not. Fourteen sports, including rugby union and hockey, do not pay any prize money at all. Five sports did not provide information for the investigation and men and women compete alongside each other in horse racing and equestrian.
Athletics, bowls, skating, marathons, shooting, tennis and volleyball have all paid equal prize money since before 2004.
In the past decade, nine more sports have starting doing so with five - diving, sailing, taekwondo, windsurfing and some cycling events - achieving equality in the past couple of years.
Grant was encouraged by the number of sports which do pay equal prize money adding: "In 70% of sports there is parity and that's great and that's what we want. But we also want the others moving in that direction too and I feel it will happen when the full potential of women's sport is seen and realised."
Female footballers are rewarded significantly less than their male counterparts.
For winning this year's World Cup in Brazil, Germany received more than £21m more than Japan's women did after they were crowned world champions in 2011.
This season's men's FA Cup winners, a competition watched in more than 120 countries, will secure £1.8m in prize money while the team who lift the Women's Cup will net £5,000 - the same amount as the winning semi-finalists of non-league competition the FA Vase.
The Football Association has said men's and women's football are incomparable, describing them as "polar opposites" in global reach.
Kelly Simmons, the FA's director of the national game and women's football, said: "The men's game is a huge multi-million pound industry so when you compare it to the women's game, which until three or four years ago was played by amateurs, the gulf is enormous.
"We are investing £12m in women's football this year but we want to direct that investment where we think it will have the biggest impact and at the moment we do not think that is in prize funds.
"However, we are reviewing it and are looking for a commercial partner to take the women's FA Cup to bigger audiences."
Women golfers can earn a handsome living on the LPGA Tour, with Michelle Wie taking home £452,000 this year for winning the women's US Open.
But the American's reward was considerably less than the £1m cheque received by 2014 US Open winner Martin Kaymer.
Ivan Peter Khodabakhsh, chief executive of the Ladies European Tour, said he was striving for parity in prize money.
"The current significant difference in the prize money between men's and women's golf cannot be justified, taking into consideration the competitiveness and quality of professional women's golf worldwide," he told BBC Sport.
But Khodabakhsh added that achieving equality in prize money would require "considerable effort" from governing bodies, corporations and the media.

In squash, Laura Massaro - the first English woman to hold world and British Open titles simultaneously - has been instrumental in bringing equal prize money to the British Nationals and increasing women's prize money for the British Open.
But for winning her world title, she received £16,300 less than the men's world champion Nick Matthew, who secured £28,600 when he won his third world crown in November 2013.
Andrew Shelley, chief executive of World Squash, said the sport's world championships would bring in equal prize money "soon".
"The tours are committed to equal prize money and, indeed, this was reinforced at the recent World Squash Federation conference," Shelley told BBC Sport.In this year's World Twenty20, Australia beat England in the women's final - and were paid £44,000 in prize money - just hours before Sri Lanka's men overcame India by six wickets for which they were rewarded £690,000.
The International Cricket Council told BBC Sport: "We take a more holistic approach to make sure the overall women's game will grow. There's been a 12-fold increase in funding over the last five years where we now invest $25m (£15.5m) in the women's game, compared with $2m (£1.2m) in the previous five years.
"That money will be spent on development, associate members and pumped back into the game. Everything is increasing, such as participation and media coverage. Who knows where the sport will be in 20 years' time? It's heading in the right direction."
Tennis was the first sport to pay equal prize money when the US Open started doing so in 1973 after campaigning from Billie Jean King and eight other female tennis players.
Stacey Allaster, chief executive of the Women's Tennis Association, said: "The WTA is where we are today because we had strong leaders, like Billie Jean King, who advocated for equality and she got it done in 1973 at the US Open. It was Venus Williams who got us over the line with Wimbledon [getting equal pay in 2007].
"It's that combination of the athletes advocating for what's right, and then the administrators supporting them, creating the public awareness that more equality, and eradicating gender bias in sport, needs to happen."
In snooker and darts, women are allowed to enter and compete alongside men at world championships, provided they qualify. However they do also run separate women's championships, with the British Darts Organisation paying out £12,000 for the women's title and in snooker, Reanne Evans received £1,500 for winning the women's event this year.
The study, which looked at prize money only and does not include wages, bonuses or sponsorship, was commissioned before a conference on Thursday aimed at transforming sport for the benefit of females in the United Kingdom.
It is being delivered by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation (WSFF), which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Ruth Holdaway, chief executive of WSFF, said: "We are encouraged that since 2013 a number of sports have taken the positive step towards prize money parity, and this shows that the momentum currently building behind women's sport is having an impact.
"It is, however, disappointing that in 2014 women still find themselves having to battle for equal reward in elite sport."
The incident occurred at a sold-out match between Motagua and Honduras Progreso in the Honduran capital.
News agency Associated Press reports that a police statement claimed too many tickets had been sold.
Motagua denied too many tickets were sold and said they warned "responsible authorities immediately that fake tickets were being circulated".
They said the fake tickets "enabled people to enter the stadium illegally to watch the final between Motagua and El Progreso - people who apparently occupied seats that were not theirs, forcing others to leave the area".
The game went ahead, with Motagua winning the title play-off match, held at the 35,000-capacity national stadium in Tegucigalpa, 3-0 on the day and 7-1 on aggregate.
In a statement, Motagua expressed "its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the four people who sadly died in the accident at the start of the final" and wished "a speedy recovery to those injured".
However, they added: "It is important to bear in mind that all the ticket sales are supervised, and in this case approved, by the national commission for sports facilities (Conapid), which is an agency of the Honduras government.
"The club is helping in the investigation into what happened at the stadium, which was under police control - according to the rules - as always 48 hours before any sports event."
There are concerns about the impact the pellets have on seabirds and the marine environment.
The puffin is believed to be one of the species most at risk.
The coloured pellets are the building blocks of the plastics industry and are used to manufacture a wide range of everyday products.
The size of a lentil, they are easily spilled and washed away.
Environmental campaigners are calling on the industry to do more to prevent nurdles ending up in the sea.
Scottish companies say they are already responding to the challenge.
The Brand-Rex factory in Glenrothes, which manufactures data cables, uses billions of the pellets every week.
The factory's drains have filters installed and spillages are carefully swept up.
Operations manager Paul Richardson said: "I like to spend a lot of time outdoors, whether that be in the hills or at the beach, so for me it's a good cause to take on board.
"But as a business, it's also very important to us."
The pellets are transported around the country by the lorry load.
They may be manufactured in Scotland or shipped in from abroad.
Grangemouth is at the heart of Scotland's trade in plastic pellets.
Industrial giant INEOS says it is working to ensure "zero pellet loss" because it's good for the environment and its business.
Local haulier, Iain Mitchell, is also aware of the damage lost shipments of nurdles can cause.
He told BBC Scotland: "It makes me feel pretty sad as a Scotsman that some of these beautiful beaches that we have around our coastline are spoiled with the pellets.
"It's horrendous. It really is."
Once you know what you're looking for, you may find yourself stumbling across nurdles when you least expect it.
I have spotted them on the beaches of the Clyde and the Forth, but reports regularly come in from more isolated stretches of coastline.
They may be tiny but they're contributing to a big problem.
The news that around 15% of puffins have plastics in their bodies will come as a surprise to many.
And there are other worries too.
The pellets attract and concentrate background pollutants and should be handled with care.
That is why gloves are recommended for anyone collecting nurdles from the beach.
Work to assess the impact of the pellets, and other plastics, on the human food chain is continuing.
We can't do much about the pellets which have already been lost, but simple changes could make a big difference.
That's why the plastic industry is promoting Operation Cleansweep.
A brush and a shovel may prove to be the most effective way of preventing spilled nurdles ending up in our seas and on our beaches.
Heightened awareness of the problem is leading to changes in working practices.
But the industry acknowledges there is a problem and is funding research into the impact of plastics on our marine environment.
Kim Christiansen of Plastics Europe said: "What exactly happens out in the environment is not fully known yet.
"This is why we work with scientists under the UN environment programme, financing their work to look into the fate and the sources of plastics in the oceans".
In the Firth of Forth, important seabird colonies on the Bass Rock and the Isle of May are close to shipping lanes and only a few miles from major industrial sites.
Mark Newell of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology studies the impact of plastics on seabirds.
He said: "We've looked at the stomach content of puffins and found that maybe about 15% of puffins will have some plastic within them.
"Certainly, these very small plastic pellets are a bigger problem for something like a puffin than the larger plastic items that will affect some of the other species."
Reports from volunteers across Scotland, and beyond, are being used by the environmental charity, Fidra, to build up a detailed picture of the problem.
Dr Madeleine Berg, of Fidra, said: "It helps us build up an evidence base and collect data to really show industry that there is a problem on our beaches.
"So if you're on your beach, just keep telling us about any nurdles you find and we'll be really interested to hear and it'll help to contribute to solving the problem."
Rhea, from west London, got through the penultimate round of the Channel 4 show after her mother queried why one of her answers had been deemed incorrect.
Judges agreed the question had been too general and awarded her a point.
Mother Sonal, whose surname was not revealed, has since faced a backlash from viewers for being "too pushy".
Many accused her of getting too involved with comments on social media including: "Rhea is such a smart young lady but her mother is shocking! This isn't about you..."
Another viewer added: "Well done Rhea's mum. Swindled your daughter to the final."
The Channel 4 programme, presented by Richard Osman, sees youngsters competing to answer tricky general knowledge questions and spell complicated words.
Ahead of the final Sonal queried why an answer her daughter had given during her specialist subject round on Florence Nightingale had been deemed wrong.
When asked "To which medical officer did Florence Nightingale report in the Crimea?" Rhea replied with "Dr Duncan Menzies", but the answer was rejected by quizmaster Richard Osman.
Explaining why she made the challenge, Sonal said: "I feel the question was very general... I can find documentation that shows she reported to every medical officer there so Rhea would have assumed it was Dr Menzies."
Independent judge Olivia van der Werff agreed the question had been too general and accepted Rhea's answer, giving her an extra point meaning she avoided a tie-break with Birmingham-born Stephen, and instead went straight into the final head-to-head against Saffy, from Egham in Surrey.
The 10-year-old went on to win the title after correctly spelling the word "eleemosynary" meaning charitable.
Other viewers rallied to the defence of the family, who moved to Britain from the US six years ago.
"Idiots abusing Rhea's mum on Child Genius: All children, especially Rhea and Saffy, were incredible however her answer was correct!", one said while @TheLondonBird wrote on Twitter: "Amount of people putting down the parents of Rhea (on) Child Genius is typical of the non-aspirational Brits! They were all amazing."

The players all played with a total lack of inhibition, like we used to when we were kids, and Saturday's jaw-dropping action was a perfect way for the northern hemisphere teams to sign off before the World Cup in six months' time.
It is not a huge surprise Ireland retained their Six Nations title because they have a great record since Joe Schmidt took charge in 2013.
They have lost only four out of 18 games and I think they'll be ranked third or fourth going into the World Cup.
The New Zealander has got them playing in such an efficient, stable, mature and intelligent way, and in my opinion they didn't do anything vastly different in their 40-10 win over Scotland.

They might have kicked a little less than normal but if you think about the Wales game, they had three goes at getting across the line then and the only difference is that Wales' defence was better than Scotland's.
They are very methodical and happy to play in that style and I think they'll take that into the World Cup because it is a style that suits them.
They might be called boring and predictable - but they are winners and will be saying "long may it continue".
They will expect to win Pool D ahead of France and Italy and that will open up a clear route to the semi-finals.
Under Schmidt, they have got new belief that this is where they should be, winning titles and contending in major tournaments, and they have the experience to deliver when it matters.
They have a spine of experience in hooker Rory Best, lock Paul O'Connell, number eight Jamie Heaslip, fly-half Johnny Sexton, full-back Rob Kearney and winger Tommy Bowe running through the team.
They are good quality players, who can help guide the likes of 21-year-old Robbie Henshaw and will keep calm and composed under pressure.
They will be disappointed to have lost against Wales but they came back and did the job against Scotland, and they will expect to do the job in the World Cup too.
The only concern is if they lose Sexton - his replacement Ian Madigan is a totally different sort of player and they would not have long to fully integrate him into the team.
England may have lost out on the title in agonising fashion as they just failed to overhaul Ireland's points difference despite a 55-35 win over France but I think they are well set going into the World Cup.
They have lost very few games at Twickenham to teams ranked below them so they should feel confident they can take on and beat anyone at the World Cup. (I'm not worried about Uruguay whom England venture north to face at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium).

The only team they haven't beaten at Twickenham under Stuart Lancaster is South Africa, and if England keep their unbeaten home record going for another seven games they will win the World Cup.
There are several differences between England and Six Nations champions Ireland, notably in their levels of experience and also Ireland's total belief in their style of play.
Ireland essentially played the same style all through the tournament, even against Scotland, while England, who don't have that totally unshakeable belief, took risks right from the off against France.
To me, that said England were not confident they would score the tries they needed if they played the way they had been - kicking, playing territory, going hard in the scrums - and instead they were forced to play a running game from the opening minute.
They can certainly take positives out of the tournament though.
Crucially, they won their home games and although they will be disappointed to have come second again - for the fourth year in a row - it was a tough competition.
They have great strength in depth in the forwards and I would love to see the half-backs take their current form into the World Cup.
Ben Youngs was man of the match on Saturday, while George Ford was commanding at fly-half.
He is a running fly-half but he shows great composure for a 22-year-old and he presents more options than Owen Farrell does.
England still have room for improvement but they are in good shape and I expect them to make it through to the World Cup semi-finals.
Wales may have finished third but they proved to themselves and the rest how potent they can be.
I've never said Wales aren't a good team - I believe they're a bit like Ireland - but I think they have been at odds with themselves because they had become a bit too predictable with their straight-running, power-based style.

With Rhys Webb and now Liam Williams coming into the side, they've mixed up their game a little and are better for it - although they had to do it against Italy if they were to stand any chance of winning the title.
With Jamie Roberts carrying the ball hard over the gain-line and the likes of George North, Jonathan Davies and Leigh Halfpenny then getting involved, they have always had firepower, and the addition of Williams has given them something a little different as well.
If their front five - and that area can be a bit of a concern, especially in the front row where it looks like they have lost the injured Samson Lee for the World Cup - can give them a decent platform, then they have a back row as competitive as any in the world.
I'd go so far as to say Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton and Taulupe Faletau are arguably the best back row in the world - although there is a lot of competition.
Another big plus is the good form of their half-backs, Webb and Dan Biggar. Scrum-half Webb has to beware of second-season syndrome and we'll see how good he is next year when people know all about him, but he looks quality in the making.
Their important players have all been to a World Cup semi-final and I fancy them to get out of Pool A, which includes Australia as well as England.
If Saturday's three matches were wow, wow, wow, Scotland were woe, woe, woe.
As spectators, we don't really see the psyche of a team. I've not been in the Scotland camp so I don't know what their vibe is like but something doesn't add up because when I look at their team sheet they're a decent side.

They could have won their first three games - perhaps should have won their first three games - but because they're not a winning team they struggle to get the job done.
They don't know how to at Test level it seems, despite having plenty of players from current Pro12 leaders Glasgow.
Part of being a successful side is knowing that your team-mates have got your back - or your inside shoulder to make the tackle - and you can't go out thinking you're going to lose.
It takes a tough mentality to get out of a losing mind-set and they haven't found the solution yet.
They've got the nuts and bolts but they are performing well below par given their players.
When you look at them as units, they've got a good front row, decent second rows, a good back row and so on.
One position there appears to be some debate about is scrum-half. Greig Laidlaw has his critics, who think he does not offer enough threat with ball in hand - they want to see a scrum-half who makes more breaks.
But Laidlaw does for me what a nine does: he does his basics well, gets to rucks, gets the ball away, and he also has a high percentage when it comes to goal kicking.
He is also the captain, and if Scotland are looking long term for a new captain then they should look to someone like Jonny Gray.
Centre Alex Dunbar had a good tournament along with Mark Bennett and I rate Tommy Seymour and Stuart Hogg, so it's not like they don't have decent backs.
On paper they have a good side but just cannot produce the performances to win games because mentally they cannot get themselves over the finishing line.
Samoa could beat them in their Pool B match at the World Cup but I expect them to finish second and reach the knock-out stages because I'd like to think newish coach Vern Cotter will have got the best out of them by then.
In my view they're currently at about 80% of what they can be.

The monarch distributed money in recognition of services to the church and community to 91 men and 91 women - representing each of her 91 years.
Leicester is the final cathedral to host the annual service during the Queen's reign.
The Dean of Leicester, the Very Reverend David Monteith, said it was a "huge honour".
Live updates on the Queen distributing Maundy money in Leicester here
He said: "Wherever the Queen goes it's a great day, but the fact that we complete the series of cathedrals that the Queen has visited over her reign on Maundy Thursday means we are the triumph of all that work and we couldn't be more pleased."
Hundreds of people lined the streets to welcome the Queen, who was accompanied by Duke of Edinburgh, for the service which dates back to the 13th Century.
The Queen handed out two purses, one white and one red, to each person.
The red purse contains a £5 coin, commemorating the centenary of the House of Windsor and a 50p coin commemorating Sir Isaac Newton.
The white purse contains uniquely minted Maundy coins, equating in pence to the Queen's age.

Mr Yates, 40, a cameraman for the BBC's Antiques Roadshow, was found dead at his London home on Thursday evening.
Kate Thornton stood in for Ms Ball on the Zoe Ball show at 15:00 BST and said she was sending "the biggest of hugs".
Ms Ball, 46, shared a picture of a flower on her Instagram page, along with the caption: "My sweet love X".
Her spokesman said: "Zoe is devastated and requests that during this difficult time the media respect her privacy as well as the privacy of her friends and family."
Suzi Perry will replace her on the BBC Radio 2 show on 13 May.
Introducing the programme on Saturday, Ms Thornton said: "Sadly our lovely Zoe Ball can't be here today."
"From everyone on the show and here at Radio 2, our thoughts are with Billy, his family and friends, and of course with you Zoe," she added.
Ms Ball and Mr Yates had been in a relationship for several months following her separation from husband of 18 years Norman Cook - who performs as DJ Fatboy Slim - in September.
Police were called at 18:40 on Thursday to Mr Yates's flat in Putney, south London, where he was later pronounced dead.
The Metropolitan Police said: "Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended. A man believed to be aged 40 was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious."
Mr Evans, who faces a retrial over rape allegations in October, had his conviction quashed in April.
Derbyshire fitting firm HTM Products has sponsored the club for six years but has said it will no longer do so.
The ex-Wales international served half of his five-year term and was released from prison in October 2014.
The former Sheffield United, Manchester City and Norwich player has always denied raping the woman.
A post on the HTM Products Derbyshire LTD Facebook page said: "In light of recent events, HTM products has ceased all sponsorship arrangements with Chesterfield football club."
After signing for Chesterfield on Monday, Mr Evans said he felt "excited and privileged" to be offered the chance to resume his football career.
He was jailed in 2012 for raping a 19-year-old at a Premier Inn near Rhyl, Denbighshire.
Forward Sterling, 19, complained of tiredness before England's Euro 2016 qualifier against Estonia on Sunday.
Hodgson has since questioned Liverpool's fitness regime, which is based on a "two-day recovery" system.
Lineker tweeted: "It's time Roy Hodgson and Brendan Rodgers stopped sniping. It's at their player's expense."
Sterling played 45 minutes of England's 5-0 victory over San Marino on Thursday and, three days later, came on as a 64th-minute substitute in England's 1-0 win in Tallinn.

The Liverpool forward has been criticised by some fans for complaining of fatigue and requesting to "sit out" England's game in Tallinn, while some players such as ex-Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand have defended him.
Hodgson has said Liverpool's training methods may be part of the reason why Sterling did not feel he would be able to perform at his best against Estonia.
At the Anfield club, players do not take part in a full session until three days after playing, with Rodgers saying players with pace need more time to recover.
Liverpool first-team coach Mike Marsh defended the club's approach.
"With England there has been a lot of discussion recently. We don't really change. Our fitness programmes have been well documented," Marsh told liverpoolfc.com.
"We try to recover the players as best we can to prepare for the games. "We have a couple of days' recovery after the game and we work with the group that don't start (the previous match) and we build up to the next game and once one game finishes we try to recover as soon as possible."
Relations were already strained between Hodgson and Rodgers after striker Daniel Sturridge, was injured on international duty last month with the Liverpool manager saying the 25-year-old's thigh injury had been preventable.
The tourists slumped from 131-0 to 230 all out inside 25 overs en route to a 138-run defeat in the second Test.
Neil Wagner took three wickets in six balls to seal the Kiwis' first series victory over Pakistan since 1985.

Gloucester's Hook, 30, can play centre, fly-half or full-back and has won 78 caps, while Cardiff Blues fly-half or full-back Anscombe, 24, has one cap.
Full-back Liam Williams was concussed in the win over England in which Williams and Amos were injured.
The Scarlet will miss Thursday's game with Fiji but could face Australia.
"Scott Williams has a knee injury and Hallam as we all saw picked up a shoulder injury," said Wales assistant coach Rob Howley.
"They'll both be assessed tomorrow [Tuesday] by a consultant, so at this moment in time we've brought in James Hook and Gareth Anscombe.
"James covers many positions - 12, 13, 10 and 15 - and Gareth with his experience in Super Rugby has that ability to play at 10 and 15 as well.
"We're delighted to have both of them in the squad, the door opens for them.
"Obviously it's a blow to lose another two players but the resilience, the character we showed in Twickenham on Saturday, I'm sure you'll see that in abundance over the next four of five weeks.
"We haven't sat down to pick the Fiji side yet and whether James comes in to that mix or not we'll have to wait and see."
Wales coach Warren Gatland had already been without full-back Leigh Halfpenny and scrum-half Rhys Webb after they were injured in the final warm-up game against Italy, while Lions centre Jonathan Davies had already been ruled out with a long-term problem.
Mike Phillips and Eli Walker were then sent for before the tournament started, although wing Walker was then injured in training and Ross Moriarty came into the squad.
Centre Cory Allen suffered a tournament-ending hamstring injury in the opening World Cup win over Uruguay, so Tyler Morgan was sent for.
Wales took another hit to their centre options when Scott Williams was taken off on a stretcher in Saturday's 28-15 win against England with a knee injury, while Amos - who started on the wing but can also play along the backline - left the field with a suspected dislocated shoulder.
Neither Hook nor New Zealand-born Anscombe, who in any case suffered an ankle injury in training, made the final 31-man cut but will now be in contention to face Fiji in Cardiff on Thursday, as Wales seek a result to cement qualification for the quarter-finals.
Wales will name their team to play Fiji at 11:00 BST on Tuesday.
Dan Walker will present the programme alongside former England winger Trevor Sinclair.

Sandy Cooper was one of three people chosen to represent the Elgin City North ward in last week's election.
He tendered his resignation in a letter to the council's chief executive.
The letter said he had taken the decision after "careful consideration" and apologised for the inconvenience and cost implications. A by-election will take place at a date yet to be decided.
Mr Cooper had earlier promised £1,000 of his annual authority salary to each of five schools in his ward if elected.
When contacted by BBC Scotland and asked about his decision, Mr Cooper said: "It's just not for me."
It is understood the cost of the by-election could be about £25,000.
Moray Council said Mr Cooper's nomination papers contained no party or political affiliation.
Six others were injured in the fire in the south-western city of Najran, the civil defence directorate said.
The victims all hailed from Bangladesh and India, it added.
The region's governor has ordered an investigation and expressed concern over workers' accommodation, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
An estimated nine million foreigners work in Saudi Arabia, many of them from South Asia.
Rights groups complain that foreign workers often suffer poor conditions and are unable to switch jobs or leave the country without the permission of their employers.
"Firefighters put out a blaze in an old house where there is no ventilation (windows) resulting in the death of 11 residents and injuring six others due to smoke inhalation," the civil defence directorate said in a tweet.
Najran Governor Prince Juluwe bin Abdulaziz bin Musaed ordered an investigation into the deaths after reading a civil defence report, the Saudi Press Agency reports.
It said the governor had "expressed disappointment" about the lack of control of foreign workers' lodgings in the region.
In 2015, 11 people died in a blaze at a residential block housing workers for the oil giant Saudi Aramco in the eastern city of Khobar.
Writing in Nature, they say they have found 10 Jupiter-sized objects which they could not connect to any solar system. They also believe such objects could be as common as stars are throughout the Milky Way.
The objects revealed themselves by bending the light of more distant stars, an effect called "gravitational microlensing".
Objects of large enough mass can bend light, as Albert Einstein predicted. If a large object passes in front of a more distant background star, it may act as a lens, bending and distorting the light of that star so that it may appear to brighten significantly.
The researchers examined data collected from microlensing surveys of what is called the Galactic Bulge, the central area of our own Milky Way.
Using the data, they found evidence of 10 Jupiter-sized objects with no parent star detected within 10 Astronomical Units (AU). One AU is equivalent to the distance between our Earth and Sun.
Further analysis led them to the conclusion that most of these objects did not have parent stars.
Based on the number of such bodies in the area surveyed, the astronomers then extrapolated that such objects could be extremely common.
They calculated that they could be almost twice as common as "main-sequence stars" - such as our own Sun - which are still burning through their hydrogen fuel stock.
Co-author Takahiro Sumi, an associate professor at Osaka University in Japan, said these free-floating planets were "very common, as common as a regular star".
"The existence of free-floating planets like this is expected from planetary formation theory. What is surprising is how common they seem to be."
According to astronomical convention, planets orbit a star or stellar remnant, so if these objects do not have a host star, then they are not technically planets, even if they may have formed in the same way as what we call planets.
Indeed, the researchers hypothesise these objects were formed in a planetary disc, like the planets in our own Solar System, before gravitational forces ejected them from these systems.
Professor Joachim Wambsganss of the University of Heidelberg in Germany, who reviewed the study for Nature, said this was the "most plausible theory". However, he added there was a minority view that planets could form the same way that stars do, but fail to reach the critical point of thermonuclear ignition.
He too agreed the most "shocking" element of the data was the projected frequency of such objects.
Dr Martin Dominik of the University of St Andrews in Scotland agreed, and said he would be "a bit cautious" about the results.
"There is this theory that planets formed around a star and due to the gravitational effects between planets, one of them gets ejected from the system, so people have predicted that there are planets out there that are no longer bound to stars," he said.
"But they don't predict this number of them."
The Penelope should make a daily crossing from the port of Rafina, outside Athens, to the beautiful islands of Andros, Tinos and Mykonos. But since the summer, she has been stuck, the crew refusing to sail as they have not been paid for months on end.
The ship is named after the wife of the ancient Greek figure Odysseus. She is said to have waited patiently for his return from the Trojan war. But the patience of these workers is fast running out.
Around 20 have occupied the boat, living on board for fear of losing their jobs altogether if they abandon ship. And so they stay on a deserted shell with no electricity or running water, the kitchens dark and closed up, passenger lounges with rows of vacant seats.
In one corridor, a sign proudly reads: "Your perfect holiday starts here". The irony is not lost on the desperate workers.
"The situation here is very difficult," says Antonis Giakoumatos, the first officer. "We stay in a ghost ship. I feel very sad and angry because I don't have the money to go and see my wife and children."
I ask what the atmosphere was like on board when the ship sailed.
"It was very good. I would see the passengers' smiles and know I was doing my job well. Now it's empty. I feel like I'm waiting to die here."
The crew - and the BBC - have tried to contact the company, Agoudimos Lines, but to no avail. The assumption is that it is in financial trouble and so is withholding salaries, confident that workers would rather this than have no job at all.
The employees of the Penelope are some of the one million private sector workers in Greece who go unpaid. The Labour Institute of the Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE) found this week that one in every two companies was not paying its staff on time.
Much of the focus in Greece's financial crisis has been on public sector cuts but this is the other side of the story - private companies crumbling from a drop in demand. And Platon Tinios, an economist at the University of Piraeus, says the two are linked.
"The public sector is exporting its problems to the private sector," he says. "When the state is squeezed - as it has been frequently - the easiest thing is to postpone payment to suppliers. Hence a liquidity problem in the private sector."
Can the Greek economy ever achieve robust growth after years of recession if the private sector is hobbled in this way, I ask?
"I don't think so," he replies. "But there's another problem: banks have stopped lending or, when they do so, it's at very high interest rates. So companies try to economise where they can, and delaying payments to workers is the easiest form of finance."
Across Athens at the Hellenic Shipyards, it is an even worse story. The 1,200 workers have not been paid since April 2012. The cranes are halted, vast floating docks lie rusting in the water - one of Greece's key industries paralysed.
"It's been my job for 33 years," says Kostas Hatzopoulos as he looks out at the old machinery.
"It was my life, my experience, my technical knowledge. Now I've had to survive by borrowing money from friends and asking for food from the Church."
Here, it is partly corruption to blame. The shipyard was previously owned by a German company, HDW, now part of ThyssenKrupp.
In 2000, the Greek government signed a murky contract to pay the owner to build and modernise Greek naval submarines at the shipyard. The cost - at almost 3bn euros (£2.5bn; $4bn) - was hidden from Greece's deficit figures so the country could join the eurozone.
Since then, the defence minister involved, Akis Tzochatsopoulos, has been jailed for taking kickbacks on the deal.
In 2010, a majority stake in the shipyard was bought by Abu Dhabi Mar, an Emirati company, expecting payments for the order to be honoured.
But with the financial crisis, Greece's formerly vast defence budget - its military spending was the highest in the EU, as a proportion of GDP - was cut down to size.
Now the contract has not been paid and so the company has withheld salaries. Abu Dhabi Mar refused to talk, as did Greece's ministry of defence, but a coalition MP, Makis Voridis, insists the firm has reneged on its obligations.
"They haven't done the work they're meant to be doing and so the state will not pay," he says.
"I think they're using the social problem of leaving workers unpaid to push the state to give money that is not owed. We must solve the problem but in a way that respects taxpayers' money."
Regular protests by the shipyard workers have failed to break the deadlock but they are just some among so many now, deprived of the safety net of a stable job.
Greece already has record unemployment of over 27% but that does not include the million or so unpaid workers.
It is a story you simply would not expect to hear in a European Union country in 2013. But then, in today's Greece, there is just so much that shocks.
Lisa Graves began making the sounds in January 2008 and thought they were hiccups linked to pregnancy.
But she carried on making the sounds - which she likens to the yelp a dog makes when someone stands on it - after giving birth.
The mother-of-two is now getting help from neurologists and is due to have MRI and MRA scans on Sunday.
"The neurologists are keen to confirm whether they are hiccups or whether it might be a tic," she said.
"They sound like you've stood on a dog or something, like a dog yelping if you stood on its tail.
"Someone suggested maybe it started off as a long bout of hiccups but then became a behavioural thing."
She is also due to be admitted to hospital for a few days so her brain can be monitored while she makes the sounds.
"It's completely random. I might do 20 in an hour and then not do any in an hour," she said.
"They vary in volume. A lot of the time they are really loud."
The beautician works from home and said her clients are used to the yelps.
But she said activities like going to the cinema or a restaurant can be embarrassing so she avoids doing them.
She went to the pub for the first time in years just before Christmas and found it awkward.
"I walked in and let out this random noise," she said.
"I'm fed up of people looking at me, staring and making people jump."
Jeff Henry, 39, died of head injuries after being chased and attacked on Campkin Road, in the King's Hedges area of the city, on 7 June.
A 34-year-old man, from Huntingdon, and a 36-year-old man, from St Ives, were re-arrested on suspicion of murder having previously been on police bail.
The pair are being questioned at Thorpe Wood police station.
Ben Maguire, 28, of Minerva Way, Cambridge, was charged with murder last month and is due to appear in court on 4 September.
Mr Henry was spotted running away from men along Campkin Road just moments before being attacked, once at 00:20 and again at 00:45 BST.
He died a week later in hospital.
The Fire Service is treating the blaze as accidental.
Michael Bradley, who produced the Gerry Anderson Show, said it was a "very sad day".
"I remember Geordie coming in to an outside broadcast and it was like Elvis entering the building."
"Gerry Anderson and Sean Coyle always knew what made him tick," he added.
"Callers to the programme would sometimes pretend to be colourful characters. Geordie was one of a kind though.
"A lot of people will be thinking about him today and listening back to clips of him."
Crews were called to Mr Tuft's home on the Legannany Road on Tuesday afternoon.
The Bluebirds had lost £12m in the previous financial year during their debut Premier League campaign and £30m in 2013-14, when they won promotion.
Owner Vincent Tan has said he is ready to halve Cardiff's £140m debt.
The club were placed under a transfer embargo in January following a breach of Financial Fair Play rules.
In 2014-15, Cardiff reduced their annual player wage bill by more than £8m, down to £30.8m from £38.9m the previous year.
Cardiff's latest accounts also indicate that the club paid just over £3m relating to "employment termination costs and payments to other football clubs in compensation for the release of employee's contracts."
Former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left the Bluebirds in September 2014 and he was replaced by ex-Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade in October 2014.
Gary Burnett, who played for Northwich Victoria, said he suffered whiplash in a crash outside a McDonald's drive-thru in Birkenhead in October 2013.
But the day after claiming he was injured, he tweeted: "Nice little trek to Kendal later for footy".
He was given four months, suspended for a year, for being in contempt of court.
The striker's tweets alerted motor insurers, who began an investigation which led to him being found in contempt of court for making false statements in personal injury proceedings.
Window cleaner Burnett of Lowton, Cheshire, did not think for one moment that he would be "rumbled" over his false claim, said Mr Justice Jay at the High Court in London.
The 25-year-old, once on the books of Wigan Athletic, had also boasted about playing and scoring in the FA Trophy less than three weeks after the accident.
Burnett's lawyer, Trevor Parry-Jones, said his "naive" client's footballing abilities were far greater than his "intellectual awareness of life".
"He has done everything that an investigator for an insurance company would wish a false claimant to do," Mr Parry-Jones added.
Burnett, who maintained he had suffered a genuine injury but acknowledged it was nowhere near as severe as he had claimed, admitted he was in contempt of court and made an abject apology.
He was ordered to pay £500 costs in addition to £11,000 to insurer Aviva after his damages claim was ruled fundamentally dishonest in July 2015.
Burnett now plays for National League North side Curzon Ashton in the sixth tier of English football.
Joe McCloskey, 50, died in a blaze at the Gorteen House Hotel on Halloween night 2003.
He died in a storeroom at the hotel, after the roof he was working on collapsed, dropping him into the flames below.
He suffered burns to 95% of his body.
Twelve years on and Northern Ireland's Attorney General has sent the McCloskey family a letter naming the former senior officer who he believes ordered Joe McCloskey on to the roof.
The former senior officer named is James Quigg, as was reported in The Irish News on Wednesday.
The Northern Ireland Fire Service did conduct an investigation after the death of the father of five.
However, it failed to establish who gave the order to Mr McCloskey to go onto the roof. Nobody was ever disciplined over the incident.
Attorney General John Larkin said in the letter: "Having carefully reviewed all of the evidence the Attorney General is of the firm view that Mr Quigg ordered Mr McCloskey and a colleague to go onto the roof."
Culpability was not discussed in the letter.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service agreed to pay "substantial damages" to the family.
Mr Closkey's wife, Marie, told BBC Radio Foyle that a "big piece of the puzzle has been found".
"I'll never forget the night I lost my Joe," Mrs McCloskey said.
"A nurse told me the seriousness of Joe's injuries. Her words were that he wasn't going to do.
"The fear in Joe's eyes, I will take to my grave. He spoke to me, I didn't get speaking to him.
"He told me, he loved me.
"The void in this house will never be replaced. There is an empty chair there and that empty chair will be there for the rest of my life.
"The inquest and the fire service investigation only gave us more questions. We discovered that the finding from the report was that 10 minutes into the fire the building was already lost.
"This letter and this name is all we ever wanted. It has closed another chapter for us. When we read the letter there were a lot of tears.
"We finally have the answer to our question 13 years on."
A spokesperson for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said: "We understand the continued loss and pain felt by the McCloskey family and Joe's death remains a tragic loss for NIFRS.
"Over the years NIFRS has done everything that could be expected of us to address the family's concerns and queries in relation to Joe's death.
"This included our own internal Fire Brigade and Fire Brigade's Union investigation and our full co-operation with the external investigations carried out by the PSNI and the Health & Safety Executive, as well as implementing the recommendations from the H&SE investigation, and we gave evidence at the Coroner's Inquest in 2007."
Burglars break into a vault filled with diamonds, watches and priceless family heirlooms and take their pick from the hundreds of safe deposit boxes inside while no-one outside is any the wiser.
The row of unassuming shops and traders that make up London's jewellery quarter in the area known as Hatton Garden have long been the subject of secretive and seductive stories about underground passageways leading to gold stores and highly secure workshops where precious items are meticulously crafted by hand.
But with such a closed network of family businesses rarely opened up for outsiders to see it's difficult to find out how many of the stories are true.
Hatton Garden's reputation for diamond dealing initially came about at the end of the 19th Century when De Beers began selling their South African stones through London.
The Hatton Garden area encompasses a small number of streets in Holborn surrounding the street of the same name. In an area covering roughly a tenth of a square mile, there are 300 shops and companies, including dealers, suppliers and craftsmen.
Joanna Hardy, an independent jewellery expert, who worked in Hatton Garden for over 20 years, is reluctant to confirm any of the myths or rumours because she says it goes against what the industry is all about.
"It's not so much a secret, it's that this is a trade that is built on trust.
"People think that it's all about top secret stuff but it's because of the high value of the goods that make it a very closed community. The people who work there have been doing it for generations and when something like this happens it shocks everybody."
The way the thieves have targeted the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company only seems to add to the mystery.
"You don't see people holding up banks now, these crimes are done online behind a computer, but this seems all the more shocking because it's so old-school," Ms Hardy says.
And with so much gold and so many precious gems contained in the row of East London buildings, most people would assume security is high, with alarms, double door entry systems and CCTV on every exit.
But Peter Kirkham, a former detective chief inspector of the Metropolitan Police's specialist Flying Squad, says it's best not to assume.
"There is a huge amount of difference in the way premises are protected.
"From my experience this trade can actually be very complacent and think it just won't happen to them.
"It's not unheard of for thieves to trigger the system, wait for the response and then act when it's thought [by others] it was just a false alarm.
"If it is the case that there weren't strong security systems and procedures in place, thieves could have had the run of the place all weekend. There is just something that feels very odd about it all."
In whatever way the raid was carried out, Mr Kirkham says the chances of high value pieces being recovered isn't high.
"Jewellery is notorious for disappearing completely. It's broken up, recut and sold on the black market because no-one wants anything that is identifiable.
"Like any trade when it comes to crime, no-one is bothered by the sentimentality."
Developers PSL Land said they hoped the 86 acre site at Straiton would host a world-class production facility, film academy with student residence, visitor attraction and hotel.
The plans also include eight sound stages up to 70ft tall.
It is estimated the £135m development will create 600 jobs and open in 2017.
Keppie Design has designed the studio, which is planned for a site about four miles south of the city.
Jim O'Donnell, PSL Land development director, said: "We look forward to creating a world-class facility to complement Scotland's existing studio spaces and stunning locations.
"Situated on the outskirts of one of Europe's greatest cities, the proposed studio will place broadcast, indigenous and international film production needs at the forefront, whilst retaining the character and integrity of the local area and its natural beauty."
A Midlothian council spokesperson said: "The council has received a planning application in principle for a film and TV studio and other associated developments.
"As part of the planning assessment, we will undertake a neighbour notification and consultation process to seek the views of interested parties. We will be looking to determine the application later in the year.''

Lewis Dunne, 16, was shot in the back in Eldonian Village, Vauxhall, Liverpool, in November 2015.
Jake Culshaw, 25, of no fixed address, and brothers John and Paul Martin, aged 20 and 25, of Walton, all deny murder.
The prosecution claim they mistakenly targeted Lewis as they sought revenge following an earlier altercation.
The accused men had been involved in violent clashes with another group before Lewis was killed, the jury was told.
James Watson, who found Lewis on a canal towpath, told the court he was standing on a bridge over the canal when he saw something below.
As he got close, he realised it was a person whose eyes were open and who had blood coming from the nose.
He then went to get help from a nearby house.
The man he alerted, Daniel Newby, said he had heard a "very very loud bang" which he thought must have been a gun.
He also heard a low "moan sound - 'aah'" which he now believes was the noise Lewis made after he was shot.
Another witness, Zoe Poole, described hearing a loud bang and seeing men run away from the scene quickly - one of them holding something long.
Some of Lewis's relatives left the court in tears as the jury heard the details of how he came to be found.
The prosecution claim the defendants believed Lewis to be a member of the rival group with which they had clashed earlier that day because he had similar-looking curly hair.
The jury were shown CCTV footage of cars ramming and chasing each other in the early hours of the day on which Lewis was shot.
Witnesses described how groups of men chased each other on foot and in cars in and around pubs in the Vauxhall Road area of Liverpool.
One witness described one of the men as having hair as "sticking out wild from his baseball cap. It was very distinctive."
The trial, expected to last between four and six weeks, continues on Tuesday.
Rovers travel to Adams Park seventh in the table a week after being taken over over by the Jordanian Al-Qadi family.
"This season they've done us twice convincingly, Darrell Clarke has done a good job," said Ainsworth.
"I know he's under pressure because it's a big club, they're expected to be around the top and they've had this big takeover, so I do feel for Darrell."
Ainsworth continued to BBC Three Counties Radio: "But he's doing a fantastic job and I'm sure we'll have a tough game on Saturday - we'll be setting up to make sure we will be competitive in the game."
Clarke suffered relegation from League Two with Rovers in 2013-14 while Wycombe stayed up - despite beating the Chairboys with one game to go - and won promotion straight back to the Football League last term.
He says he feels no pressure following the takeover, but last season's losing League Two play-off finalists Wycombe will leapfrog Rovers if they win on Saturday, having dropped from fourth to ninth in the table.
"It's always nice to be the chaser until there's no more games left because it puts that added pressure on those teams above you," said Ainsworth.
"There's some teams coming from nowhere, like Wimbledon, and there's some big clubs around us like Portsmouth, Leyton Orient and Cambridge with their cup money from last year.
"It's going to be a real tasty end to the season. We're going to do our best to be amongst it but at the foreground is our 61-point total, and four wins would do that."
Nottinghamshire's Fiona Thornewill, 49, will join an American climber for the ascent of El Capitan mountain in Yosemite, California.
Her climbing partner American Hans Florine holds the record for the fastest ascent of the mountain.
The pair will make the climb on 8 September to raise money for the British Mountaineering Council.
Ms Thornewill set the record for the fastest ski trek to the North Pole by a woman in 2001 at 56 days and was the fastest woman to reach the South Pole solo in just under 42 days in 2004.
She was appointed an MBE in the 2006 and was given an European Women of Achievement Award in 2004.
The ascent of the steep mountain face, also called The Nose, is considered one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world as it rises almost a kilometre straight up from its base.
Ms Thornewill said she considers herself "an amateur climber" so has been training extremely hard to get ready for the attempt.
"I was looking for a physical and mental challenge since my South Pole solo - I wanted something that would really fire me up and challenge.
"I am very excited and nervous about taking it on."
If successful, she would be the oldest female ever to climb The Nose.
Mr Florine, who will be making his 100th ascent of the mountain, holds the world speed record for climbing The Nose at two hours and 23 minutes.
They were convicted on terror charges by a military court for their roles in several attacks in Cameroon's northern region which borders Nigeria.
Cameroon passed an anti-terror law in 2014 which introduced the death sentence.
This is the first time the death sentenced has been used since that law was passed.
The 89 are among 850 people arrested in Cameroon on charges of links to Boko Haram.
Following the death sentences, a local human rights group has called for reforms to Cameroon's justice system.
Hundreds of people have been killed in a spate of attacks in Cameroon since it joined a regional force set up to tackle the militants last year.

He was the only journalist to be successfully tried under Operation Elveden, the police probe into payments to public officials.
Mr France, 42, from Watford, was given an 18-month sentence in May 2015, suspended for two years.
He said he could now rebuild his life "after 1,379 days of sheer hell".
Lady Justice Hallett, who heard the appeal with Mr Justice King and Mr Justice Dove, announced that Mr France's conviction would be quashed and said there would not be a re-trial.
Mr France - who was at the Court of Appeal in London to hear three judges allow his challenge against his conviction - was embraced by fellow journalists from the Sun after the ruling.
"I am delighted that this serious miscarriage of justice has ended today," he said outside court.
Mr France was convicted of aiding and abetting PC Timothy Edwards to commit misconduct in public office between March 2008 and July 2011 following a trial at the Old Bailey last year.
PC Edwards sold 38 stories and tip offs to Mr France between March 2008 and July 2011 in exchange for more than £22,000. He pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office and was jailed for two years in 2014.
Mr France's appeal centred on the directions given to the jury at the trial by Judge Timothy Pontius.
In a written ruling, Lady Justice Hallett said they concluded that the jury "were not provided with legally adequate directions tailored to the circumstances of the case and that the conviction was unsafe".
A News UK spokeswoman said after the ruling that it was "delighted" Mr France's conviction had been overturned.
"In the course of the last five years, 19 journalists from The Sun were prosecuted as a result of Operation Elveden and not one has resulted in any conviction being upheld," she said.
The BBC's legal correspondent Clive Coleman said the ruling marked an "end point" to Operation Elveden, which officially ended earlier this year and cost almost £15m.
He said: "Not a single journalist who was put before a jury has been successfully convicted, and so I think it is a significant day."
Our correspondent added that the ruling meant that - while Operation Elveden could be seen as a success in relation to the charging of public officials - in relation to journalists "it has to be seen as an almost total failure".
Of the journalists charged, only one, Dan Evans, from the News of the World, pleaded guilty. He received a suspended 10-month sentence in July 2014 after admitting phone hacking and making illegal payments to public officials.
In April 2015 the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges of making illegal payments to officials against nine journalists - including former News of the World editor Andy Coulson.
Bob Satchwell, executive director of the Society of Editors, said there needed to be "far wider protection" for journalists reporting in the public interest and said: "Careers and lives were destroyed by the overlong and hugely expensive police investigation." | Sun crime reporter Anthony France has won an appeal against his conviction for paying for tip-offs from an anti-terrorism officer. | 37,786,998 | 665 | 27 | false |
After warned of falling sales and "challenging" trading in a gloomy trading update, the world's largest educational publisher ended down 8.4% at 762.5p.
The company said underlying sales had fallen by 7% in the first nine months of the year.
Sales in North America - Pearson's largest market - have fallen by 9%.
Despite the decline, Pearson said cost cutting meant it was still on track to meet its profit targets for 2016.
Gary Paulin, head of global equities at Northern Trust Capital Markets, said: "We see that there is a risk that the tight cost controls could end up exacerbating the lack of growth risk. We remain sellers of Pearson."

Rebecca Shaw, 32, from Huddersfield, was on her way to swim with elephants when the crash happened in Phuket in December 2015.
Her friend, Julie Robinson, escaped with minor injuries.
Bradford Coroner's Court heard the exact details of the crash were unclear due to conflicting witness accounts.
Coroner Martin Fleming said the driver of the Toyota pick-up truck, Natthaphon Klomkhan, told police he was driving at approximately 60kph (37.5mph) when the moped drove from a side road, across a four-lane carriageway, and directly in front of his vehicle.
Mr Klomkhan said he braked, sounded his horn and flashed his lights but was unable to avoid hitting the bike.
Ms Robinson, who did not attend the inquest, said she checked before driving across the road, and claimed the truck was being driven at excessive speeds, and had failed to take evasive action.
In an email sent by Ms Robinson to the coroner in July, she said: "He just drove straight into the back of the scooter, sending both of us flying through the air at some height."
Describing the aftermath of the crash, Ms Robinson described blood pouring out of her friend's mouth when her head hit a metal barrier.
She was twice resuscitated at the scene but died later in hospital, the inquest heard.
Mr Fleming said photographs of the scene showed Ms Robinson's view would have been obscured and that crossing the carriageway would have left little margin for error.
He said it was unclear whether the truck driver was going too fast.
The inquest also heard police in Thailand had considered charging Ms Robinson in connection with the incident.
The coroner ruled Ms Shaw, who was wearing a helmet, died as a result of head injuries sustained in a road traffic collision.
She played for the England national team 10 times and was described by her family as a "real-life angel".
Alan Clark, 39, abused the women in Glasgow, Clydebank and Dumbarton between 2001 and 2012.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard how he raped one woman who had helped him with literacy skills while he was in prison.
Judge Lord Carloway ordered Clark to be kept under supervision for a further four years after his release.
The judge told him: "You have been convicted of a catalogue of sexual and violent offences."
The court heard how Clark, who had "a significant criminal record", raped a woman who had helped to teach him during a previous prison sentence.
He was described as being "charming and pleasant" at first but later abused the woman who was pushed, slapped, gouged and handcuffed.
On one occasion he tried to strangle her after she turned off the TV at a house in Dumbarton.
After being raped the woman said she felt "so low" that she believed the attacks would only end when one of them died.
Clark threatened to burn down her house and her parents' home during a four-year period up to the end of 2005.
He also raped a second woman in 2008 at a flat in the Bridgeton area of Glasgow.
During the ordeal he slashed clothes belonging to her and threatened to stab her dog.
Clark also threatened to petrol bomb the woman's home.
He also committed acts of violence against a fourth woman who was punched, kicked and jumped on.
He threatened to throw her out of a window and tied her hands and ankles together with wire.
During one incident in 2012 in Glasgow he tried to strangle her and dragged her through the door of a close and repeatedly struck her head against a concrete floor.
Clark also robbed the woman of cash and destroyed photos belonging to her.
A fourth woman was dragged by the hair and punched by Clark during incidents in Glasgow in 2010.
Kenneth King, 60, said his aunt handed him the deeds to her house in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, in 2011, saying: "This will be yours when I go."
But lawyers argued Mr King's story was "too convenient by half".
Judges have now ruled in favour of Chiltern Dog Rescue and Redwings Horse Sanctuary, the main beneficiaries.
Last year, the High Court heard June Fairbrother had left her Kingcroft Road property to seven animal charities when she made a will in 1998.
In 2010 she had signed documents, but not a proper will, which left the house to her nephew in the hope he would care for her pets when she died.
But following Ms Fairbrother's death in April 2011, Mr King - who has twice been made bankrupt - did not follow her wishes and sent her dogs Tinker, Bonnie and Patch to an animal home.
At the High Court, lawyers for Mr King invoked an ancient legal principle that his aunt had given him her home "in contemplation of her death".
But Court of Appeal judges have now disagreed, saying it had not been established that Ms Fairbrother had effected a "deathbed gift" and ruling in favour of the two charities which appealed against the High Court decision.
Lord Justice Patten said Ms Fairbrother's words "This will be yours when I go" did not mean she was giving her nephew the property there and then, or had any intention to.
The three appeal judges backed the High Court's finding that if he was wrong about the gift, Mr King should receive £75,000 from his aunt's estate.
The average annual comprehensive policy cost £462 in the last three months of 2016, according to the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
Previously the highest figure was £443 in the spring of 2012.
The rise comes in spite of government attempts to limit compensation payments and cut court costs.
One reason for the increase is a rise in the cost of repairing cars that have been in accidents, because of their increasingly sophisticated electronics.
Buying in spare parts is also getting more expensive, due to the weakness of sterling.
The average repair bill has risen by 32% over the last three years to £1,678, the ABI said.
The ABI warned that premiums were likely to increase further, if the government went ahead with plans to review the so-called discount rate.
When accident victims are given a lump sum in compensation, the sum is discounted to make up for the extra investment return they are likely to receive.
Since 2001 the discount rate has been 2.5% - based on investment returns from government bonds.
If that rate is reduced, insurance companies will have to pay out more - thus increasing premiums.
"The sudden decision to review the discount rate has the potential to turn a drama into a crisis, with a significant cut throwing fuel on the fire in terms of premiums," said Rob Cummings, the ABI's head of motor and liability.
The government said it would make an announcement as soon as possible.
"The Lord Chancellor has decided to review the discount rate to ensure personal injury claimants are fairly compensated," said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice.
"Due to ongoing consultation it is not yet possible to announce the review's outcome."

Whiplash plans 'will cut insurance bills'
The cost of insurance has also risen because of a series of increases to Insurance Premium Tax (IPT).
IPT went up from 6% to 9.5% in 2015, to 10% in 2016, and will rise to 12% in June 2017.
Personal injury claims, such as whiplash, have also become more expensive, rising by 2.3% over the last year, the ABI said.
However, the government is currently consulting on plans to cap compensation payments to accident victims, which it says could reduce annual premiums by £40 a year.
It also wants more disputes settled in the small claims courts, which would reduce costs for insurance companies.
Leigh Brightman, 37, of Tennyson Avenue, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, discovered the girl, who was 15, may have been working as a prostitute.
He then contacted her to discuss sexual services and arranged for a taxi to bring her to his house.
Brightman pleaded guilty to three counts of misconduct in public office.
The teenager told the Old Bailey said she was left feeling "dirty, ashamed, but partly stupid" after her interaction with Brightman in August 2014.
The prosecution said it was not their case the two had sex even though they met at his house and he hid the fact he was a police officer.
He claimed he was handed an escort card, during a troubled period in his marriage, and had no idea he was contacting the missing girl.
She told the court she had "suffered psychologically" and "will always have trouble trusting people" as a result of the encounter.
The jury heard Brightman also had sex with two other women he met while on duty, one in her 20s, the other in her 40s.
The older woman said he was "flirtatious" when they met in 2012 after she reported being harassed by a former partner. They began having sex but when she grew concerned he was not investigating her complaint he begged her to keep quiet.
The younger woman met Brightman as a drug-addicted teenager and was reintroduced some years later. They began to have consensual sex, often when he was in uniform.
Kevin McCartney, defending, said: "There can be no doubt that if he could rewrite or undo what he has done, he would."
Judge Mark Lucraft QC said: "It's clear that when you contacted her, you knew perfectly well who she was, her age and her vulnerabilities."
A Hertfordshire Police spokesman said Brightman "betrayed the trust placed in him by targeting such vulnerable victims".
Brightman also admitted to two counts of downloading indecent images of a child between 2011 and 2014.
Marcelo Melo's defeat in the second round of the Miami Masters means Murray will replace the Brazilian at the top when the next set of rankings is published on Monday, 4 April.
In doing so, Jamie will beat his younger brother Andy to the world number one spot - just as he did when he became the family's first Grand Slam champion by winning the mixed doubles title at Wimbledon with Jelena Jankovic in 2007.
Three years ago, though, Jamie was contemplating retirement as his ranking threatened to drop into triple digits. Here, BBC Sport charts the 30-year-old from Dunblane's highs and lows.
Like his brother, Jamie's first taste of tennis was trying to hit sponge balls and balloons around the living room with his mother Judy. And according to his mum, it was Jamie who had by far the better hand-eye co-ordination when young.
Despite the horror of the massacre at Dunblane Primary School - during which a 10-year-old Jamie hid under a desk in the headmaster's office as Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and one teacher - his junior singles career started to flourish.
He was the runner-up in the prestigious Junior Orange Bowl in Florida at the age of 12, and ranked two in the world at the age of 13. But it was in his early teenage years that ambitions of a successful singles career started to fade.
He had a very unhappy spell at a Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) training centre in Cambridge. He became homesick and, by his own admission, was never quite the same player again.
His forehand went from being a strength to a weakness and he lost his enthusiasm for the game. Both his brother and mother felt the coaching he received had been damaging, and Jamie stopped playing the game altogether for the next few months.
Life as a doubles player has also had its ups and downs, but Jamie says he has no regrets and argues a successful doubles career is far preferable to struggling to make ends meet on the Challenger or Futures singles tour.
He has only entered three singles qualifying draws in the past eight years, but said during the grass-court event at Queen's Club in 2014: "The doubles level is very high. The money is good. Contrary to other comments it is not just a bunch of poor players getting a lucky break with their career."
Murray has earned about £1.5m in prize money thus far, and last year he was also - lest we forget - part of the first British Davis Cup winning team for 79 years.
Jamie was a Grand Slam champion at the age of 21, courtesy of his mixed doubles triumph on Wimbledon's Centre Court, but it took a long time to find a partner with whom he could become a serial winner on the ATP Tour.
Having teamed up with Colin Fleming for the 2013 Australian Open and lost in straight sets in the first round to Michael Kohlmann and Jarkko Nieminen, he fell to a world ranking of 92.
He considered calling it a day, fed up with the grind of life as a doubles player without a regular partner.
Jamie has played with 63 different players - from Henry Adjei-Darko to Mischa Zverev - in a professional career stretching 13 years.
In 2012 alone, he played with 15 different partners, but when he teamed up with the Australian John Peers and Canada's former Davis Cup captain and coach Louis Cayer for a second time in early 2013, life started to look up.
He and Peers won six titles together over the next three years, and reached 10 other finals. Last year, they were runners-up at both Wimbledon and the US Open - and qualified for London's season-ending World Tour Finals for the first time.
But Jamie felt it was time for a change. A doubles partnership lasting three years is almost as impressive as a Hollywood marriage of the same duration, and with the two not exactly soulmates, he turned to Bruno Soares.
The results were instant. They won a tournament together at only their second attempt in Sydney, and then became Australian Open champions in Melbourne.
Jamie's greatest strength is his volley, and he can also drive players to distraction with the glorious unpredictability of his service returns. The chip - often directed to the most inconvenient spot on the court - is his stock in trade, and the lob return is becoming his trademark.
His Davis Cup team-mate Dom Inglot thinks Jamie has followed the same advice he was given by a senior player when he first started out in the game.
"Know what you can and can't do, and don't bother trying to do the things you can't do," was the advice offered to a teenage Inglot.
"Jamie has now really perfected that. He doesn't bother trying to hit crazy forehands. He hits that chip - at a world-class kind of level - his backhand is good, his volleys are exceptional. He doesn't try to hit some of the serves he knows he's not that comfortable with, and executes perfectly the ones he is capable of. Look how far it can take you."
With a 43-year-old, a 39-year-old and 37-year-old twins all occupying places in the world's top 15, Jamie could look forward to a sustained spell of success. It is hard to know when he might tire of life as a travelling professional, but the next few years at least could offer many more rewards.
There are still three Grand Slam men's doubles titles he has not won, and with his brother Andy hoping to be ever-present in the Davis Cup team, last year's victory in Ghent may not be the once-in-a-lifetime achievement it seemed at the time.
For now, though, Jamie can savour the moment and the knowledge that - however long it lasts - he will always be able to reflect on how he became the best in the world in his chosen event.
"Smoking kills more people than Obama," one advert spotted in Moscow says.
Dmitry Gudkov, an MP and critic of the Kremlin, posted the image saying: "I am disgusted and ashamed of what appears on the streets of the Russian capital."
It is not the first time the US president has been targeted in negative ads, amid rising US-Russia tensions.
According to the Moscow Times, a pro-Kremlin art group hung a banner of President Obama with the caption "killer" opposite the US embassy in Moscow.
And in December a major Russian supermarket chain apologised after selling a chopping board with the US president pictured as a chimpanzee.
It is not clear who was behind the latest advert, which contrasts the number of deaths from smoking to people "killed by President Obama".
"Smoking kills more people than Obama, although Obama kills a lot of people," the ad copy reads. "Don't smoke. Don't be like Obama."
Barack Obama famously gave up smoking in 2010, but admitted to "falling off the wagon" several times after entering the White House.
His wife, Michelle, later said he kicked the habit to set a good example to his two daughters.
Relations between the US and Russia have deteriorated in recent years over the Kremlin's support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and its role in neighbouring Ukraine, which culminated with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.
Last week, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said strains between Russia and the West had pushed the world "into a new cold war".
Boris Johnson, who had been due to travel on Monday, said the situation had changed "fundamentally" and his priority was to build international support for a ceasefire.
He said the UK called on Russia to do everything possible to bring about a "political settlement in Syria".
"We deplore Russia's continued defence of the Assad regime," he added.
The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will visit Moscow as planned after the G7 meeting on 10-11 April.
Mr Johnson said he was in contact with the US and others in the run-up to the meeting, to build "coordinated international support for a ceasefire".
He said he was working to bring together other "like-minded partners" to "explore next steps".
After the G7 meeting between the world's leading seven industrialised nations Mr Tillerson would be able to deliver a "clear and co-ordinated message to the Russians", he said.
The foreign secretary called on Russia to work with the rest of the international community to "ensure the shocking events of the last week are never repeated".
The Russian Embassy responded to the cancellation of Mr Johnson's visit with a tweet linking to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
The embassy in London said: "@BorisJohnson cancelled his visit to Moscow: theatrics for lack of argument? Safer in G7 pack? Listen to our soft power response."
Eighty-nine people, including 33 children and 18 women, died in a suspected nerve agent attack in the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun on Tuesday.
The figures come from Idlib's opposition-run health authority. The country's government denies using nerve gas.
On Friday, the US carried out missile strikes on a Syrian air base it says is suspected of storing chemical weapons. At least six people are reported to have died.
In response, Syria's ally Russia accused the US of encouraging "terrorists" with unilateral actions.
Moscow has further promised to strengthen Syria's anti-aircraft defences and it is shutting down a hotline with the US designed to avoid collisions between their air forces over the country.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has said "terrorists are celebrating" the US strikes on a Syrian airbase.
But he also backed calls for an independent inquiry into Tuesday's suspected chemical weapons attack.
Mr Johnson's visit, for talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, would have been the first visit by a UK foreign secretary in more than five years.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said the cancellation meant Mr Johnson had "revealed himself to be a poodle of Washington, having his diary managed from across the pond."
He added: "It is pretty shameful when even Trump judges you to be a buffoon."
The government was "quick to blindly follow every order from the Trump White House", he said.
An aide to Mr Johnson responded that it was "a shame the Lib Dems would rather snipe and be silly when the US and UK are trying to work on a plan to help the innocent people of Syria and stop a devastating civil war".
He was moved from his role in international development earlier this month.
But he is no newbie to politics, having first been elected as an MP in the eighties and growing up in a political household - his MP father Sir David Mitchell served as a minister under Margaret Thatcher.
Mr Mitchell, 56, was educated at Rugby public school. It is here the self confessed "stern disciplinarian" is said to have earned the nickname "Thrasher".
He read history at Jesus College, Cambridge where his extra curricular activities included chairing the student Conservatives and becoming President of the Cambridge Union.
Before going to university, Mr Mitchell served in the Royal Tank Regiment and as a UN peacekeeper in Cyprus.
But upon graduating he moved into the world of banking, taking up a role with investment bank Lazard Brothers.
During this time he got married to Sharon, a doctor. They have two daughters.
Andrew Mitchell's website
He was determined to get into politics and, having failed to get elected in 1983 in Sunderland South, he won the seat of Gedling in Nottinghamshire in 1987.
Here he started his career in the whip's office, serving as a government whip during the notorious rebellion over the Maastricht Treaty - where a number of Conservative MPs voted against Prime Minister John Major.
He was made a vice-chair of the Conservative Party and later promoted to be social security minister, and he was tipped as a future chief whip in the mid-1990s.
But his career suffered a set back when he lost his seat in the Labour landslide of 1997.
This brought to an end a decade of serving in the House of Commons alongside his father - who retired the same year.
He returned to Lazard Brothers as a director and began his search for a new, and hopefully safer, seat.
After five other attempts, he beat a large field to succeed Sir Norman Fowler in Sutton Coldfield, where he has built up a large majority since 2001.
Back inside the Commons, he got involved with the party's leadership machinations as it tried to find someone to take on Tony Blair.
As early as October 2002 he was named by the Daily Telegraph as one of four ringleaders in a plot to oust then leader Iain Duncan Smith.
He found favour with Mr Duncan Smith's replacement, Michael Howard, who promoted him into the shadow cabinet as shadow international development secretary after the 2005 general election.
He ran David Davis' failed leadership campaign in 2005, but kept his shadow cabinet job under David Cameron's regime. He is now seen as a Cameron loyalist.
Mr Mitchell stayed in the shadow international development role all the way through to the 2010 general election, after which he took the post on in government.
He oversaw moves to make aid more transparent and repeatedly pledged to enshrine in law an obligation for the UK to spend 0.7% of its national income on overseas aid - something which has angered some of his Conservative colleagues.
When David Cameron carried out his first major reshuffle in early September, he made Mr Mitchell his new chief whip.
It was a couple of weeks after taking up this job that, after what he called a "long and extremely frustrating day", he allegedly swore at a police officer who stopped him cycling out of the main Downing Street gates.
He initially issued a written apology for the outburst, which was also reported to have seen him calling the officer a "pleb", with Mr Mitchell apologising on camera for the first time five days after the incident.
In his public apology he said he was sorry he had not shown the police enough respect, but denied saying the words attributed to him in The Sun newspaper.
But his statement failed to end the row about the incident, with Labour and the Police Federation both calling for a full inquiry into what Mr Mitchell said, while a series of senior Lib Dems said he had left questions unanswered.
His friend of 25 years, MP Michael Brown - who worked with Mr Mitchell in the whips office in the early nineties - said the incident was "totally and utterly out of character".
He said: "A 30 second moment of madness by the chief whip, who I know to be a very decent and honourable man.
"I come from the wrong side of the tracks. I'm a secondary modern school boy, an eleven plus failure and I can tell you working with Andrew Mitchell was an absolute delight and a privilege."
"I said, 'Well if a gay Irishman can become the CEO of Qantas then an indigenous lady can.'"
The fact that Mr Joyce makes no secret of his sexuality, makes him a relative rarity among top ranking bosses.
Among the chief executives of the 500 biggest US companies only one, Tim Cook of Apple, is openly gay. Similarly, in the UK's 100 largest firms listed on the stock exchange, Burberry boss Christopher Bailey is the only well-known gay chief executive.
Of course you could argue that the sexuality of those at the helm is not really anyone else's business but their own, but Mr Joyce believes being open about it allows him to be himself at work and demonstrates to others that it hasn't hindered his career.
During his tenure, he has steered the airline through huge difficulties caused by tough competition and soaring fuel costs, including a 2011 union dispute over restructuring which led him to take the unprecedented step of grounding all flights.
He subsequently led the firm through a massive cost-cutting programme that involved some 5,000 job losses, in the midst of which the national carrier announced the biggest annual loss in its near 100-year history, leading to calls for Mr Joyce to be sacked.
Critics accused him of ruining a national icon, yet earlier this year, helped by the drop in fuel costs, the firm reported its best ever first-half profit.
Mr Joyce credits the airline's diverse senior leadership team for its successful turnaround, saying it meant they came up with more varied ideas for addressing the firm's problems.
"We've got three Brits, an American, an Irishman, a Kiwi. So all different type of backgrounds. We've got three women, three gay men, people that were mathematicians, people that were business consultants, people that were flight attendants.
"I can say categorically that we wouldn't have gotten through the transformation and the tough times of this business as well as we did without having that diversity in the top leadership team. At the end of the day, it makes you a better business."
Recent research suggests Mr Joyce's conclusion is spot on.
Firms in the top quartile for gender or racial and ethnic diversity are more likely to have financial returns above their national industry medians, according to management consultancy McKinsey, which looked at 366 public companies across a range of industries.
A separate study by accountancy firm Grant Thornton estimated that publicly traded companies in India, the UK and US with male-only executive directors missed out on £430bn of investment returns last year.
"The research clearly shows what we have been talking about for a while: that diversity leads to better decision-making. Those businesses stuck in the past are not fully unlocking their growth potential," says Francesca Lagerberg, global leader for tax services at Grant Thornton.
Yet while recognising it is the right thing to do, embracing diversity can be tough in a firm that has traditionally employed a particular type of person.
One of Australia's biggest firms, Westfield, which owns shopping centres around the world, has been listed publicly for over half a century and has its roots in real estate and construction, both sectors which have historically been male-dominated.
The firm's global spread means that it is already very diverse culturally, says co-chief executive Steven Lowy, but he admits it still has "some way to go" on gender diversity.
"The gender issue is a challenging issue for companies to come to grips with, but I would suggest that we're very focused on it," he says.
Often it is business needs that drive a firm to become more diverse.
Jayne Hrdlicka, chief executive of Qantas' subsidiary Jetstar, grew up in the US. As a female CEO who was brought up abroad, she sees herself as a great testament to the firm's diversity.
Over half of Jetstar's revenues are generated outside Australia, meaning a diverse workforce is an absolute necessity.
The airline has invested significantly in educating people in working cross-cultures "because it's such a fundamental part of the way we need to operate," she says.
One exercise it has carried out with external experts is a nationality swap, where for one day Australian staff pretended to be Japanese and the Japanese staff pretended to be Australian.
While an exercise like this could seem superficial, Ms Hrdlicka says it taught staff to respect each other's roots.
"We were able to appreciate the different ways of working, and the importance of building on the best of all those different ways of working rather than trying to force one over another," she says.
In the end, though, she says embracing a more diverse workforce requires a broad shift in how those at the top think about things, meaning that it's time that will make the biggest difference.
"It's the right thing to do, but it's a smart thing to do. You get the best outcomes for your shareholders and you get the best outcomes for all the stakeholders involved in your business when you really do create an environment that brings the best out of everyone."

The only Lib Dem MP Mark Williams was defeated by 23-year-old Ben Lake, who stood for Plaid Cymru in Ceredigion.
Mr Lake, the country's youngest MP, defeated the Lib Dem's leader in Wales by 104 votes.
It ends 158 years in parliament for Welsh party MPs, which counted the first and only Welshman to be prime minister among its members.
The Liberal Party was formed in 1859, was the first political party to recognise Wales as a political nation in its own right with the formation of the Welsh Liberal Council in 1897.
Because of this the Welsh Liberal Democrats boast on their website: "The Welsh Liberal Democrats have the deepest roots of any Welsh political party."
Member of the fledging Welsh wing of the party David Lloyd George would go on to be the only Welsh prime minister to date.
But the party has seen a gradual decline in recent years in Wales. In 2015 two of their three MPs lost their seats in the general election.
Then in 2016 four of the five Lib Dem AMs lost their seats with just Kirsty Williams AM retaining her seat of Brecon and Radnorshire.
Now Ms Williams is the only remaining Liberal Democrat elected in Wales, and she sits as Education Minister in Carwyn Jones's Labour Welsh Government.
The Welsh Lib Dems have also seen problems in the House of Lords when, earlier this year former Welsh Lib Dem leader Lord Carlile quit the party leaving them with six representatives in the house.
"This is a sad day for liberalism in Wales," said chair of the Welsh Liberal Democrat National Executive Committee Carole O'Toole.
"This is a difficult result for us following the results in last year's Assembly elections and we will need to take stock and consider how we move forward from here."
The new requirements would put "Australian values at the heart of citizenship processes", the government said.
But as Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull explained the system, social media observers were keen to interrogate an obvious question.
That question appeared to trouble even Mr Turnbull, when a reporter asked him to provide a summary.
"What we will… the answer is yes, but the discussion paper that [the immigration] department has released is going to engage public discussion on this," he said.
After some further comments, he said: "Australians have an enormous reservoir of good sense, and we know that our values of mutual respect, democracy, freedom, rule of law, those values, a fair go - these they are fundamental Australian values."
Despite his clarification, Mr Turnbull's response drew rapid criticism from political commentators. "Wow... doesn't answer," said one; another dubbed the briefing "surreal"; a third suggested Mr Turnbull was in "full gibbering mode".
Sharing comments on a hashtag #AustralianValues, many people were quick to offer amusing alternatives.
Some joked that sporting fans complaining about rising match costs demonstrated "Australian values", while others poked fun at Australians' use of language and skill at making coffee.
Others took aim at politicians including one who resigned over an expenses scandal involving a chartered helicopter.
Some used it to protest government policy over the ailing Great Barrier Reef, or Australia's tough policy of offshore detention for asylum seekers.
There was also criticism of Australia's soaring house prices, a topic of much national discussion in recent weeks.
Others suggested that "Australian values" as a solitary concept would not necessarily result in wise policy.
Criticism included comparisons to last century's White Australia policy, when Australia took migrants from only certain countries, and the Stolen Generations, when Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their families.
That may be difficult to immediately assess, given the specifics of the new test are not fully known.
However, although the opposition accused Mr Turnbull of playing domestic politics, it did agree some of his ideas were worthwhile.
"I think it is reasonable to look for English language proficiency and I think it is reasonable to have some period of time before you become an Australian citizen," said opposition leader Bill Shorten.
Mr Turnbull's linking of Australian values to gender equality, and preventing domestic violence, also drew praise.
"The Prime Minister is on the right track defending the fundamental right of every woman and child to live free from violence and domestic abuse," said Libby Davies, the CEO of anti-domestic violence group White Ribbon.
The Sheshan seminary can be found on a quiet leafy lane that could just as well be in Tuscany as its true location, the outskirts of Shanghai.
There is no barbed wire in sight and no guards, just a solitary, rather friendly watchman on the front gate.
Nonetheless it is, as our inquiries confirm, being used for the effective confinement of China's missing bishop, Thaddeus Ma Daqin.
Friends of Bishop Ma whom I spoke to told me that he does enjoy certain limited freedoms.
He can get permission to come and go from the seminary, they said, but not to leave the wider Shanghai area.
And, as his followers will know, he's been allowed to keep his internet blog updated, although most of the postings are simple, biblical quotes that shed little light on his well-being.
But while he may not be shackled to his bed, his enforced "retreat" continues and, after almost 18 months, the authorities have still not finished with him.
Bishop Ma, we learnt, is being sent to political lessons - communist indoctrination by any other name - three times a week.
In July last year Bishop Ma did a very rare thing: he appeared to publicly challenge the authority of the Communist Party to control the Catholic Church.
In Shanghai's Catholic cathedral, in front of a large congregation including party officials, he used his ordination speech to announce his resignation from the Catholic Patriotic Association (CPA).
The CPA has governed the church in China since 1957, co-opting it into the structure of the state and ensuring that it is unable to become an alternative centre of power.
To any outside observer, Bishop Ma's declaration may not have looked all that defiant.
He wanted to focus all his energies on being a bishop, he said, so it would no longer be "convenient" to continue with the dual role of being a bureaucrat.
But in the eyes of the Chinese authorities it was an extraordinary statement of independence and they moved swiftly against the priest.
He was reportedly taken straight to Sheshan and has not been seen in public since.
The subsequent announcement that he has been stripped of the title of bishop has been strongly contested by Rome.
On the hill above the seminary stands the red brick Sheshan Basilica with its elegant domed bell tower.
Since it was completed in 1935 it has been witness to the many twists and turns in the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Chinese state.
During the worst of times, Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution, the church was ransacked and the statues and stained glass windows were smashed.
But over the years as the Basilica was gradually restored so too, to a limited extent, were the relations between Rome and Beijing.
Despite the lack of official diplomatic ties and the on-going mutual mistrust a kind of accommodation was reached.
Throughout the 1990s and the early 2000s many of the bishops selected by the Catholic Patriotic Association were also approved by The Vatican.
But in recent years, that tacit deal started to unravel and Beijing has pushed ahead with the ordination of a number of bishops that do not enjoy the support of Rome.
Some observers suggest that relations are now as troubled as they've been in decades and the Sheshan seminary finds itself at the centre of the crisis.
Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin - a man who up until his ordination speech was one of the those bishops acceptable to both sides - is now a symbol of the continuing divide.
The issue highlights a long running debate in the Catholic Church about how best to deal with China.
It brings back painful memories of the Vatican's own version of Ostpolitik in the 1960s when it muted its criticism of the Soviet Union in order to build bridges with the church behind the Iron Curtain.
Catholics in China are now waiting to see what kind of a strategy Pope Francis will adopt.
There are some within the wider church who would like it to do more to speak out in support of the unofficial, or underground, Chinese Catholics who pledge allegiance not to the CPA, but to Rome, and risk persecution as a result.
Others suggest that dialogue is the only way forward and that means speaking to and negotiating with the CPA.
But, given that China is politically, economically and diplomatically stronger than it was 10 years ago, the party may be in no mood to negotiate.
It has what it wants, control, and strange as it seems, this atheist state may be even more determined to insist on the right to run the church and appoint its bishops - as well as dismiss them.
We asked at the seminary if it was possible to speak to Bishop Ma.
"We won't even pass on your request," we were told.
The experienced defender, 28, is in his second spell with the Daggers and is the club captain.
He returned last summer following a season at Boreham Wood.
He previously made 243 league appearances during a six-year stint with Dagenham and has played 27 times for them in all competitions so far this season.
Six of their World Cup-winning squad played in the side which beat England 4-0 in the 2009 European Championship Under-21s final.
James Milner was the only England player from that game to play at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The Germans beat Argentina 1-0 in Sunday's final, while England went out of the competition in the group stages.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, defenders Mats Hummels, Benedikt Howedes and Jerome Boateng and midfielders Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil started against England in the youth final.
Only the injured Khedira did not start against Argentina.
Since that final in Malmo five years ago, Ozil won La Liga with Real Madrid before making a £42.4m move to Arsenal last September.
His title-winning team-mate at Real was Khedira, who also helped the Spanish giants to the 2013-14 Champions League title.
Neuer, 28, and Boateng both play for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, while Hummels is a two-times Bundesliga winner with Borussia Dortmund. Howedes, 26, plays for Schalke.
Here is what became of the England squad from that under-21 final:
The 26-year-old goalkeeper started his career at Watford before joining Ipswich in 2012. He moved to newly promoted Championship side Rotherham in June after losing his place in the Ipswich side to Dean Gerken. Has not played at international level since that U21 final.
The right-back made 16 appearances for England's U21s, with his last cap in 2009. He played alongside Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale at youth level with Southampton, before playing for Portsmouth and current club Barnsley, who are in League One.
The 25-year-old defender has been with Premier League champions Manchester City since 2005, but made just two appearances last season. Progressed from the U21 squad to the senior England side and has 13 caps in total, but has not played for the national team since 2012. Also represented Great Britain at the London Olympics that year.
Played his last game at international level in the 2009 U21 European Championship final. The 27-year-old defender came through the ranks at Manchester City and made 95 appearances, but left in 2012 to join Queens Park Rangers. Part of the squad which secured promotion from the Championship last season, but struggled with injuries and played only eight games.
The left-back is a first-team regular at last season's FA Cup winners Arsenal and played 42 games in 2013-14 - the most since coming through the youth ranks at the club in 2007. Made his full England debut in 2010 but had just two further appearances because of injury.
The 26-year-old midfielder currently plays for Sunderland, where he has been since leaving Wigan in 2009. Won the last of his 16 U21 caps in 2010 and has yet to be recognised at senior level.
Earned 33 U21 caps, the last of those coming in 2011. The 26-year-old retired from football in March the following year after suffering a cardiac arrest when playing in an FA Cup match for Bolton against Tottenham.
The midfielder, 27, captained England's U21s in the 2009 European Championship, but has not played internationally since the final of that tournament. Has been with West Ham since 2004 and made 38 appearances in the Premier League last season.
The 27-year-old midfielder has arguably been the most successful player to progress from the U21 side which played Germany in 2009. A two-times Premier League winner with Manchester City, whom he joined for a reported £26m from Aston Villa in 2010, he has made 48 appearances for England and was part of the 23-man squad at this summer's World Cup. He started England's final group game which ended in a goalless draw with Costa Rica.
Like Milner, Walcott has progressed to become a regular for England and would have been in the squad for Brazil but for a knee injury which ruled him out of the tournament. The 25-year-old forward, a key player for Arsenal whom he joined for an initial £5m in 2006, has 36 England caps and scored against Sweden at Euro 2012.
The 27-year-old also managed to make the step-up to the senior England side and has 11 caps, but has not played since 2012. The midfielder moved from Manchester City to Sunderland two years ago and is a key player for the Black Cats. An impressive spell of form in the Premier League in the middle of last season saw him in contention for a place in England's World Cup squad, but he ultimately missed out.
Substitutes:
Jack Rodwell (Manchester City): Replaced Fabrice Muamba in the 2009 final and progressed to the senior England side in 2012, going on to make a total of three appearances for the national team. The midfielder joined Manchester City from Everton in 2012 and has played 26 games at club level, 10 of those last season.
Michael Mancienne (Hamburg): The defender, who came on for Nedum Onuoha, made 30 appearances at U21 level, with his last cap coming in 2009. Rose through the ranks at Chelsea and had loan spells at QPR and Wolverhampton Wanderers, before joining German club Hamburg in 2011.
Craig Gardner (WBA): The midfielder, 27, replaced Martin Cranie in the final, but has not played international football since then.
After a job interview, one of the women was told her "personal arrangements with the new baby will make it impossible to carry out this role".
Another of the cases was settled by the Irish Football Association (IFA).
All three women were helped to pursue their separate claims by The Equality Commission for Northern Ireland.
Sarah Shilliday, Cherie White and Kelly McAtamney accepted financial settlements before their cases reached an industrial tribunal.
Ms Shilliday said her "childcare responsibilities" were discussed when she was interviewed for a management job with RJN Chemicals.
She later received an email from the firm that commented favourably on her suitability for the post, but added: "sadly I'm afraid your personal arrangements with the new baby will make it impossible to carry out this role".
"I was really upset when I received this email as it clearly indicated that the fact I had a child had influenced the decision not to appoint me," she said.
"I could have accepted not getting the job if that was because I wasn't the best candidate, but to have the opportunity denied because I am a mother is not acceptable."
Ms Shilliday's case was settled for £3,000.
The second case was brought against Medi Cosmetics by its former beauty therapist by Kelly McAtamney, who was pregnant and at risk of miscarriage.
She alleged the company would not adjust her duties to accommodate her doctor's advice that she needed to "stay off her feet" as much as possible.
"They would not allow me to sit down to perform my duties and when, failing that, a request for a period of maternity suspension was also refused, I had no option but to continue on sick leave," said Ms McAtamney.
"Subsequently I felt I had to resign."
She received a £4,500 settlement with no admission of liability.
The Irish Football Association (IFA) settled a complaint from Cherie White for £8,000, without admission of liability.
Ms White alleged a number of temporary positions, including posts which had arisen while she was on maternity leave, had been made permanent.
"I'd worked for the IFA for a number of years on temporary contracts and I believed that, but for my maternity leave, I would have been in a position to be considered for one of the permanent posts," she said.
Eileen Lavery, who leads the Equality Commission's advice service, said pregnancy discrimination was a "persistent problem" and the most "common cause of complaint on the grounds of gender" the watchdog receives.
The shoulder bone of the Palaeoloxodon antiquus was found protruding from the sand on the west coast of the island by local resident Paul Hollingshead.
The bone is at the Dinosaur Isle museum in Sandown and is thought to date from the Eemian interglacial period.
Mr Hollingshead said: "I was shocked how big it was and spent around two and a half-hours digging it out."
He found the bone back in March but the museum said it had taken a long time to conserve so that it was fit for display.
Alex Peaker from Dinosaur Isle said: "You don't really associate elephants with the Isle of Wight but this find shows they did roam the island many years ago."
Mr Hollingshead, who has donated the bone to the museum, said: "I remember it was a big five-metre tide, so I knew the water would go out a long way, when I saw what looked like a bit of bone showing from the sand.
"I stopped and realised it was a bit bigger, so I started clearing all of the sand and stones away from it.
"I was hoping it was a dinosaur bone, so was quite shocked to find out it was from an elephant."
The 27-year-old, said to be a target for Juventus with his Zenit contract due to expire in the summer, has agreed a reported £15.3m annual salary.
His new Chinese Super League side, who were promoted from the second tier in 2016, are managed by former Italy international Fabio Cannavaro.
Witsel has won 78 caps for Belgium.
He spent five seasons at Zenit after arriving from Portuguese side Benfica, having started his career at Standard Liege.
Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar and ex-Manchester United and Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez have also recently joined Chinese sides in lucrative deals.

I'm on the first leg of a 650km (400-mile) journey to Russia's second city, St Petersburg - a route that has seen a revolution in rail travel.
For those who can afford it, the new Sapsan high-speed service has cut journey times from eight hours to just four, offering luxury, leg room and onboard Wifi.
But I'm foregoing this high-tech, 21st-Century experience and will be travelling on ordinary suburban trains.
I want to find out if progress on the railways has been matched by improvements in the lives of ordinary Russians living near the tracks.
The Swallow is full of business travellers, and I'm sitting next to Pavel, a middle-aged company manager.
He is reading a fantasy novel about time-travelling Stalinist secret agents.
"Stalin was a man who made our country great," says Pavel, as we rattle through Moscow's bleak suburbs.
"Everything was ruined in the 1990s, and the people in charge aren't making any attempt to rebuild it."
Our first stop is Klin, a nondescript town 90km outside Moscow.
Its main claim to fame is composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who spent his summers here.
The town hopes the legacy of the great 19th-Century composer will help revive its 21st-Century fortunes.
Two years ago a well-connected businessman, Igor Chaika, launched an ambitious project to turn Klin into a Russian Salzburg, like Mozart's much-visited birthplace in Austria.
There were plans to revamp the town centre, build a metro, and start an annual Tchaikovsky festival.
Two years on, Igor Chaika has pulled out, but his name and the project featured in a widely-publicised opposition video last year, accusing him and his father - Russia's chief prosecutor Yuri Chaika - of corruption. Both deny the allegations.
Klin still has no metro, but there is a music festival, and Alyona Sokolskaya, the town's smartly-dressed mayor, is happy to talk about it.
But when I ask about Igor Chaika, the conversation abruptly ends.
"Are you here to interview me or to talk about Chaika?" she asks icily, and I am escorted from the building by security.
Later, back on the train, we wait in a siding in Tver region, waiting for the Sapsan to race past.
Passengers say delays of up to an hour are common now.
I meet Natalya, a well-spoken former teacher who makes a living selling small items to passengers on the trains.
She's been doing this 10 hours a day, six days a week, for 20 years.
In a good month she earns the equivalent of $300 (£245) - much more than her teaching salary. But it's a hard life.
"Sometimes I don't want to come to work so much I feel sick, "she says. "But that's life. Russians are used to being under the cosh."
The next stop is Leontevo, once famous for its glass factory, which made the ruby stars on the Kremlin towers.
In 2010 Nina's son Mikhail was knocked off his feet by a Sapsan roaring through the station.
Furious, he hurled a lump of ice at the train and was prosecuted for criminal damage.
It was Mikhail's third conviction - not unusual for a generation who came of age amid the chaos of the 1990s.
With no work or prospects, life offered Mikhail little except drink and crime.
Two years after his Sapsan conviction he was dead.
"It was hard living with him," says Nina. "But it's even harder without him."
Nina bears no bitterness towards the Sapsan, but she's troubled by the inequalities of life.
"Yes, we need progress," she says. "But is there any guarantee that people who live along the tracks will be safe and comfortable?"
Nina's old friend Slava is scathing about how the ruling United Russia party is running the country,
"Haven't they stolen enough?" he asks.
"They've bought land, built houses, salted money away, and sent their children abroad. Isn't it time to do some good?"
But Slava deeply respects President Vladimir Putin, and says he'd like a return to the Soviet discipline of Joseph Stalin's era.
"If you weigh up the prison camps on one side, and what Stalin achieved on the other, then to me he was a great leader."
Early the next morning we're rolling through Novgorod region.
A young man with a child's face is lying across the seat opposite.
He doesn't have a ticket but the conductor leaves him alone.
Oleg is 29 and homeless. He grew up in a children's home, spent seven years in prison and now travels the trains begging money for food and cheap wine.
"I drink to keep warm," he says. "Not to get drunk."
At Mstinskiy Most station a bell rings non-stop, warning passengers a fast train is approaching.
"That's how it should be," says Olga, at the station shop. "A Sapsan might come through at any moment."
I'm staying with Maria, a cheerful widow in her mid-sixties who runs a guest house.
Maria is a karaoke fan and clearly enjoys life.
"Whatever people might say, we're okay here," she says.
The last stop before St Petersburg is Chudovo, once home to the poet Nikolai Nekrasov.
He wrote one of his most-quoted poems here, titled: Who Can Be Happy In Russia?
I'm still thinking about Nekrasov as we finally reach St Petersburg.
It's three days since I started out, and almost 150 years since Nekrasov wrote the poem.
Life along the tracks is clearly moving much slower than the Sapsan train, and Nekrasov's question seems as relevant as ever.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it was examining whether there were any remaining legal issues preventing its publication.
Thousands of striking miners and police clashed at Orgreave coking plant.
A redacted version of the report was published last year.
An IPCC spokeswoman said the report had been redacted as a result of legal issues, including some relating to the Hillsborough inquests, which concluded last month.
She said: "We are now considering whether the legal issues that prompted the report being redacted still remain.
"One key consideration is that the IPCC and Operation Resolve are conducting criminal investigations into the events at Hillsborough and its aftermath.
"As a result we must now carefully consider whether we can publish an unredacted version of the report at this stage without compromising the integrity of the ongoing criminal investigations."
Operation Resolve is the continuing police inquiry into the events of the day of the Hillsborough disaster and its lead-up.
South Yorkshire Police referred itself to the IPCC in 2012 over allegations of assault and misconduct relating to the events at Orgreave.
However, the IPCC ruled in 2015 that the passage of time meant the allegations "could not be pursued".
Shadow Home Secretary Andy Burnham said the report contained proof "that underhand tactics were used first against South Yorkshire miners before being deployed to much more deadly effect against Liverpool supporters [at Hillsborough]".
He said: "As I've always said, we won't have the truth about Hillsborough until we have the full truth about Orgreave."
South Yorkshire Police were not available for comment.
The 34-year-old, who went off on a stretcher after hurting himself while catching a cross and clearing the ball, was replaced by Willy Caballero.
"Of course he has an injury, probably [out] for some weeks," said Guardiola,
"I don't know if he will be available again this season."
The 0-0 draw - in which Bravo came off after 79 minutes - was only his sixth clean sheet in 22 Premier League games since his £15.4m summer move from Barcelona.
Steven Modeste, 37, James Irvine, 54, and Anthony Kimber, 43, attacked Jacqui Young in Kelso in October last year.
A court heard how the trio went to the Original Factory Shop in the town's Bowmont Street wearing masks.
Modeste was jailed for eight years, Irvine for nine and a half years and Kimber for nine years.
A jury at the High Court in Edinburgh had found them guilty of armed robbery and illegally possessing a stun gun.
They were also convicted of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
The men used the stun gun on Ms Young, who was 14 weeks pregnant, and her co-worker Alexandra McMurray.
Ms Young told the court that she kicked one of the men in the groin after she had been attacked.
But they then dragged her across the shop floor and into the office where the shop's safe was kept.
Prosecutors believe the robbers got away with £7,300.
Afterwards, Ms Young was taken to hospital for an emergency scan to check her baby had not been hurt.
The court heard that the child had been born unharmed in April this year.
Following conviction it emerged that all three men, whose addresses were given as being prisoners at HMP Edinburgh, had previous convictions for robbery.
Judge Lady Carmichael said the sentences were given on the basis of their criminal records, with Irvine having the worst record for previous offending.
She told the three men: "All three of you have been convicted of serious offences - the most serious one was the robbery in charge two.
"It involved not just the threat of violence. What marks it out is the actual use of a stun gun on two women.
"This assault was particularly distressing as it led to concerns for her unborn child."
With nearly all the ballots counted, he had won 66.5% to 33.5% for his run-off rival, Alain Juppe.
The former prime minister promised to build a fairer society, saying France wanted "truth and... action".
A new opinion poll suggests he would easily beat the far right's Marine Le Pen in the actual election.
According to the Harris interactive poll quoted by BFMTV (in French), Mr Fillon would lead the National Front candidate by 26% to 24% in the first round, then win the run-off against her by 67% to 33%.
Mr Juppe, also a former prime minister and regarded as more moderate, congratulated Mr Fillon and pledged to support him in his bid to become president.
Francois Fillon was the man to beat going into this run-off vote, and his team knew it.
Shortly after polls closed, they were already celebrating at his party headquarters, as the first partial results came in. Within hours, it was confirmed. Mr Fillon had won two-thirds of the vote; a stunning victory for the candidate once seen as the 'third man' in the contest.
Alain Juppe appeared in front of his own, determined supporters, to concede the contest. He gave a small smile to the crowds chanting his name and told them he was ending the contest as he began it: "A free man, who didn't betray who he was or what he thought."
The job for Mr Fillon now is to unite his party after this unprecedented primary battle, and prepare to take on the governing Socialist party - and the far-right leader Marine Le Pen - in presidential elections next year.
What now for France's left and far-right?
As the result of the Republican party primary became clear, Mr Fillon told his supporters he would work for change.
"If the French people entrust me with their confidence," he said, "I will try to respect that contract and conduct myself with dignity."
"I will take up an unusual challenge for France," he went on to say. "To tell the truth and completely change its software."
Mr Fillon had been widely expected to win the race, after securing 44% of the vote in the first round a week ago that saw former President Nicolas Sarkozy knocked out.
The 62-year-old is a Roman Catholic who is seen as a traditionalist on issues such as abortion and gay marriage.
He is proposing dramatic economic reforms that include slashing 500,000 public jobs, ending the 35-hour week, raising the retirement age and scrapping the wealth tax.
On foreign policy, he advocates closer relations with Russia.
Mr Juppe had initially been seen as the favourite to win the race but struggled against Mr Fillon's strong performances in the primary debates.
Conservative daily Le Figaro warns Mr Fillon's biggest challenge will now be to stop the "terrible alienation of the ordinary voter", as he will need to appeal to a much broader constituency at the presidential election than in these primaries. Marginalised voters, it argues, are "being driven into the arms of the National Front by unemployment and uncontrolled immigration".
The centre-left Le Monde says Mr Fillon's clear victory gives him a "good chance of winning against the National Front and a comatose left".
France Info, a popular news website, declares that "'Mister Nobody' is en route for the Elysee Palace", adding that "it must be said that Francois Fillon has come a long way".
Now the spotlight falls on the Socialist party, and whether the deeply unpopular President Francois Hollande will stand again in his party's primaries in January. He is expected to announce his decision in the coming days.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Sunday that he would not rule out running against Mr Hollande in the primary, telling the Journal du Dimanche he wanted to dispel the idea "that the left has no chance" of retaining power.
The two men are expected to have lunch together on Monday at the Elysee Palace, as they normally do each week, French media report.
But government spokesman Stephane Le Foll stressed that Mr Valls would need to resign in order to stand for the candidacy.
"There will not be a primary between the president and the prime minister," he told Europe 1 radio.
Earlier, Emmanuel Macron, the 38-year-old former economy minister and protege of Mr Hollande, announced plans to stand in the presidential election as a centrist independent.
The legislation, which would also see lawyers being responsible for collecting money from clients, provoked anger from the legal profession.
The Scottish government amended some of the plans, in light of the concerns.
But ministers said changes were needed to cut the size of Scotland's criminal legal aid bill.
The Scottish government said the 2011-12 legal aid bill, which came to £157.3m, was the second highest on record and that its proposals would cut the figure by almost £4m.
Measures in the Scottish Civil Justice Council and Criminal Legal Assistance Bill led to lawyers taking part in one-day boycotts at several sheriff courts and protesting outside the Holyrood parliament, saying they could "incentivise the innocent accused to plead guilty" and turn solicitors into unpaid government debt collectors.
As the legislation was passed by MSPs by 62 votes to 53, solicitors warned it could be subject to further legal challenge.
The legislation had required accused people with a disposable income of more than £68 a week contribute to defence costs - although Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill took action to increase the threshold to £82.
Ministers said more than 80% of criminal legal aid applicants would be unaffected by the changes, which they argued would maintain legal aid for those who needed it most.
Mr MacAskill told parliament: "The passing of this bill will deliver vital savings to ensure legal aid can be targeted at those who need it most."
The Law Society said changes it negotiated with the government meant some of the poorest people, including those with disabilities, would not have to make any contribution.
The solicitors body also said lawyers would be collecting contributions in far fewer cases, but argued the changes would still create "practical difficulties" for the profession.
It said all contributions should be collected by the Scottish Legal Aid Board.
Labour's Malcolm Chisholm said of Mr MacAskill's changes: "The cabinet secretary has been forced to modify a very bad bill so it ends up simply as a bad bill."
Tory MSP Annabel Goldie added: "I'm glad the cabinet secretary has yielded to his metaphorical beating over the head and improved what was a poor situation and made it somewhat better."
Alison McInnes, of the Liberal Democrats, told parliament: "Legal professionals and members of the public alike are concerned about the potential impact that this bill will have."
Cameron Tait, of the Edinburgh Bar Association, said lawyers would not act in cases where outstanding contributions had not been paid.
Mr Tait said he expected the legislation to come into force in August, adding: "At that time, there will be a number of legal challenges that will be taken in situations where contributions are not paid.
"There are issues outstanding as to whether or not the contribution system will be compliant with the European Convention of Human Rights."
Ann Ritchie, president of the of the Glasgow Bar Association, added: "I've do doubt whatsoever that there will be challenges when accused people remain unrepresented."
The government bill also brings in reforms to the civil justice system.
Members of the public spotted the cub on Samuels Crescent in Whitchurch on Monday but did not know what it was.
After initially thinking it was a puppy they realised its legs were too short and contacted the RSPCA.
The cub was taken to a veterinary surgery and is now being looked after at the West Hatch Wildlife Centre in Taunton, Somerset.
Animal welfare officer Sian Burton said: "He was freezing, crying and skin had come off his tail.
"He still had his eyes closed so must be under 10 days old."
Staff at the wildlife centre will now keep a close eye on him and will be feeding him a special formula to replace his mother's milk.
Apart from his tail injuries he appears to be healthy and weighs 330 grams.
The man, believed to be from Exeter and in his early 60s, fell in the North Gully, said North Wales Police who were alerted on Sunday.
He had been climbing with his daughter. The man was airlifted to hospital where he was declared dead.
"Our thoughts are with his family and friends," said PC Gethin Jones of North Wales Police.

Chris Lloyd of Ogwen Valley mountain rescue team said the pair had been walking in the area over the weekend when they took a wrong path down the mountain.
"It's very easy to take the wrong turning," he said.
"They realised it was steeper than they wanted and turned round when he slipped and fell."
A nearby rock climber raised the alarm and the rescue team called a Coastguard helicopter to take the man to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor while they guided his "distraught" daughter, aged in her 20s, down the mountain.
Shakrul Islam, 31, is on trial for the manslaughter of Kyle Clarke, who died after being caught under the car's wheels in Bristol in January.
The city's crown court heard non-driver Mr Islam got behind the wheel when a petrol station employee attempted to stop Mr Clarke.
Mr Islam, of Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire, denies the charge.
He has admitted causing death by dangerous driving.
The jury was shown CCTV footage of the Texaco garage forecourt in Hengrove Road showing worker Abu Sayem grabbing Mr Clarke, 27, and tussling with him before toppling him.
Mr Islam then drives at the pair, catching Mr Clarke under the wheels of the car and dragging him along the road.
A post mortem found Mr Clarke had suffered 48 rib fractures, fractures to his breast bone and collarbone and collapsed lungs.
Anna Vigars QC, prosecuting, told the court that during the tussle Mr Islam moved from the passenger seat to the driver's seat.
"He accelerated forward and the steering wheel was turned and he drove straight at the two men," she said.
"Mr Clarke ended up on the ground and Mr Islam drove straight over him as he lay on the ground.
"Tragically he trapped Mr Clarke's body under the wheels of the car and he drove off with him under the car."
On arrest, Islam told police he had no idea Mr Clarke was under the car as he tried to drive away, the court heard.
"He said he got into the driver seat in a panic and just started the car because he didn't want anything to do with the petrol being taken and just wanted to go home," Mrs Vigars said.
"He said the car was in gear and he didn't know how to change gear and he just moved off.
"Mr Islam told police he was not trying to scare Mr Sayem and he had turned that hard to leave the forecourt.
"We say that he took that line deliberately to commit an unlawful act, which we say was the deliberate driving at Mr Sayem."
The case continues.
Race Council Cymru, who conducted the survey, said people feared not being believed or taken seriously.
It concluded police need to do more to reach ethnic groups in rural areas.
The 10-month study, funded by Gwent's police and crime commissioner, looked at ways of working with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities.
Findings will be discussed by 80 representatives of Gwent BAME groups at an event in Newport on Monday.
The project collected views of people in emerging or so-called "hard to reach" communities around the five Gwent local authority areas, to help gain a better understanding of them.
These included Turkish and African communities in Torfaen; Nepalese, Syrian and Gypsy and travellers in Caerphilly; Sudanese in Newport and Ahmadiyya Muslim women.
The key findings included that people felt they should have more engagement with police - with a number of refugee women highlighting issues like vulnerability and lack of awareness of available services.
There was also a fear that miscommunication occurs because of things like language and cultural differences.
Some people interviewed in Cwmbran said they regularly experience hate incidents and crime, including verbal abuse, bullying and physical assault.
But they do not report these as they fear not being believed or taken seriously.
Gwent's Police and Crime Commissioner Jeff Cuthbert said he hoped the study could be a "catalyst" for "breaking down barriers".
Race Council Cymru chief executive Uzo Iwobi said progress had been made but more work needed to be done to reach ethnic minority communities in rural parts of the force area. | An England team badminton player was killed in Thailand when her friend drove their moped into the path of a truck, an inquest heard.

They claim the Treasury could mount a £320m raid on lottery funds to make up for cuts to arts and sports funding.
Treasury sources indicated this was not likely to happen but would not comment publicly on the Spending Review.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is still in talks with Mr Osborne over cuts to its budget.
Sir Stephen Bubb, chief executive of the charity leaders' group Acevo, has written to the chancellor urging him to protect the fund.
He said: "Society can't afford to lose the life-enhancing Lottery grants that can transform communities.
"It would be catastrophic if the proposed slashing of Big Lottery Fund grants goes ahead."
The Big Lottery Fund hands out a total of £650m a year to voluntary groups to tackle social problems such as domestic abuse, homelessness and poor mental health, among many other causes.
It is the biggest funder of small charities in the UK, with the majority of its grants being for £10,000 or less.
The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), which represents charities in England, claims it has evidence that the government is planning to reduce the Fund's share of Lottery proceeds from 40% to 22% - adding up to a funding cut of £320m.
The money instead would go to the National Lottery's arts and sports distributors to make up for cash shortfalls in their funding as a result of cuts to be announced on Wednesday.
The NCVO claims the Fund would have to close its doors to new grant applications for three years if these changes go ahead.
NCVO chief executive Sir Stuart Etherington said: "The Lottery was founded and has always been operated on the principle that it adds to rather than replaces public funding.
"This would be a clear breach of that principle. It would be hugely damaging to the Lottery if players saw it as financing a government slush fund to compensate for spending cuts."
Sir Stuart has written to Cabinet Office minister Oliver Letwin urging him not to make any "snap decisions" - and to carry out a proper consultation into the impact of any changes.
Mr Osborne will set out his spending plans for the next four years on Wednesday.
Most departmental budgets - excluding health, education, international aid and defence - are expected to be cut by more than 25% as the government works towards its goal of eliminating the budget deficit and securing a surplus in both day-to-day and overall spending by 2020.
Robinson, 42, had been in interim charge at Fir Park following Mark McGhee's sacking last month.
Club chairman Jim McMahon described former Northern Ireland midfielder Robinson as the "outstanding candidate" who emerged from a five-man shortlist.
Robinson said he was honoured to be appointed and revealed his "mission" was a strong finish to the season reflected in their league position.
In his first game at the helm, former Oldham Athletic boss Robinson oversaw a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, ending a run of four straight Scottish Premiership defeats.
"It was clear that Stephen was the outstanding candidate," McMahon told the Motherwell website.
"He has a real vision of what the club needed in the short, medium and long-term and a plan of how he would implement it. His values, skills and attributes matched exactly with the criteria we developed to be the manager of this football club and we wish him every success."
Robinson, Motherwell's 24th manager in their 131-year history, expressed delight at his appointment and said he aimed to help the club climb the table.
"I am absolutely delighted and proud to lead this football club, a club with a rich history in the Scottish game," he said.
"My mission from the board is absolutely clear. Firstly, to ensure the team have a strong finish to the SPFL Premiership season and finish as high as we possibly can between now and May.
"Then, to help shape the club going forward with a strong emphasis on hard-work, discipline and a real passion and desire for Motherwell FC that the fans can get behind and be proud of."
Speaking before the appointment was made, veteran striker Scott McDonald said Robinson would be a popular choice.
"We know what Robbo is all about - the majority of us do anyway," McDonald said last week. "It has always been a joy to work under him and work with him.
"As players, all we are concerning ourselves about is to do our best and do our job and, if we do that, we give Steve every possible chance of maybe taking the reins, which I think most boys would be more than happy with."
Robinson's first home match as manager will be Saturday's visit of St Johnstone, with the Steelmen currently in 10th spot in the table.
The Times Higher Education magazine's table, based on a number of criteria, including teaching, research and staff and student mix, has Harvard top.
Only five British institutions are ranked among the top 50, with Cambridge and Oxford in joint sixth place.
However, last week a separate study in the UK ranked Cambridge as the world's top university, followed by Harvard.
University leaders say the latest table indicates the UK still has the world's second-strongest university system, but that this is under threat.
California Institute of Technology is ranked at number two in the table, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology in third place.
The only university outside of North America and the UK in the top 20 is the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich.
In the top 10, other than Cambridge and Oxford, the only non-US university is Imperial College London, in ninth.
Mainland China has six institutions in the top 200, more than any other country in Asia.
Only two Australian institutions are in the top 50, with seven in the top 200.
In the past, the Times Higher Education magazine had collaborated with the careers advice company QS to rank universities, but this year both organisations have produced separate lists, using different criteria.
Times Higher Education survey editor Phil Baty said a change to the way the tables had been compiled made comparisons over time difficult.
But he added: "We do contend, however, that these tables are realistic and so, in some cases, they may deliver an unpleasant wake-up call that the days of trading on reputation alone are coming to an end."
David Willetts, UK Minister for Universities and Science, said: "Our universities have demonstrated their worth against new, more rigorous criteria.
"Reputation counts for less this time, and the weight accorded to quality in teaching and learning is greater."
Professor Steve Smith, president of Universities UK, which represents vice chancellors, said: "The tables may show that the UK remains the second-strongest university system in the world, but the most unmistakeable conclusion is that this position is genuinely under threat.
"The higher education sector is one of the UK's international success stories, but it faces unprecedented competition. Our competitors are investing significant sums in their universities, just when the UK is contemplating massive cuts in its expenditure on universities and science.
"Clearly, league tables must always come with a health warning as they never tell the whole story, but these rankings provide a useful indicator of international trends.
"This must serve as a wake-up call before big decisions are taken on university funding next month in the form of the government's spending review and the recommendations of Lord Browne's review into university funding and fees."
This league table is one of many produced by organisations around the world.
According to a report earlier this year by the European Commission, 33 countries have some form of ranking system operated by government and accreditation agencies, higher education, research and commercial organisations, or the media.
The report says different systems favour different indicators, and the same indicators can be weighted differently by the various systems.
Experts have expressed "serious reservations" about the methodologies used by global ranking organisations, it says.
In the rankings released by QS last week, Cambridge was at the top, followed by Harvard.
The UK's University College London, Oxford and Imperial College were all in the top 10.
The 22-year-old is being treated for deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

While still awaiting her international debut, Carey was also called into Australia's trophy-winning squad of 2012 as an injury replacement for Sarah Coyte.
She helped Sydney Thunder win the inaugural Women's Big Bash League in January, and will join up with the Southern Stars' squad on Saturday ahead of their first game against South Africa next Friday, 18 March.
Australia are bidding for a fourth successive World T20 title after winning the event in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
BBC Two: How do I recognise a DVT?
Rohan Beyts, 62, said she had to "answer the call of nature" at sand dunes after walking on the beach near Mr Trump's Menie resort in April.
Ms Beyts was reported to the procurator fiscal but no action was taken.
A three-day civil hearing for breach of privacy will be heard next year.
Mike Dailly, acting for Mrs Beyts, said attempts to have the case dismissed had failed and the case would now be heard at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in April.
Mrs Beyts told the BBC Scotland news website she was "glad" the case was proceeding, adding that April would mark a year since the incident.
The retired social worker told BBC Scotland in October she had no option when she needed to answer the call of nature.
She said: "When I discovered men had been filming me I felt really uncomfortable - mortified.
"It's ironic they said my act was disgusting but you hear about Donald Trump's claims about women. I know which I think are disgusting."
A spokeswoman for Trump International said: "Our position on Rohan Beyts' claim remains unchanged and the matter is now in the hands of our lawyers."
Mr Trump opened his Menie course in July 2012 after lengthy opposition from local residents and environmentalists.
The course, which is owned by Trump International Golf Club Scotland, lost just under £1.1m in 2015.
C&C warned rural and community pubs seemed to have been "disproportionately affected" by the lower limit, which came into force in December.
Its comments came as C&C reported a "weak trading environment" in the three months to the end of May.
Its brands include Tennent's lager, Bulmers and Magners cider.
In an interim management statement, C&C said trading conditions in the first quarter were mixed, with the group's core markets of Ireland and Scotland "impacted by unseasonably cold and wet weather, particularly in May".
It added: "The recent tightening of 'drink-driving' regulation in Scotland adds to the challenges already faced by the on-premise channel and rural/community pubs appear to have been disproportionately affected."
However, C&C said its business in England and Wales had had a positive first quarter, and was trading in line with expectations.
It added: "Following weaker than expected trading conditions in the first quarter, we anticipate a gradual improvement in core market performance as the year progresses.
"In the US and other export markets, a return to growth is the target."
The figures have been compiled by the price comparison website MoneySuperMarket from its own records.
The website looked at the details given by 11 million people who sought car insurance quotes in the past year.
Scaffolders had the highest rate of convictions at 5.7 per 1,000 drivers, while typists had the lowest rate at just 0.021 per 1,000.
Other types of employees in the top 10 for drink- and drug-driving convictions were ground workers, building labourers, roofers, labourers, road workers, plasterers, soldiers, bricklayers and fitters.
Kevin Pratt at MoneySuperMarket, said: "Although it's no excuse, perhaps it's not surprising that manual labour jobs are most likely to have a drink or drug conviction as the desire to relax with a pint, after a long strenuous day, could be high."
"The only job in the top 10 which bucks the trend is a soldier - but that's still a very physical job."
The jobs with the lowest rates of admitted convictions - after typists - were police officers, clerks, health visitors, driving instructors, taxi drivers, nursery workers, occupational therapists, vets and building society clerks.
The Welsh Route Study forecasts rail travel into the Welsh capital will grow from 13m to 33m by 2043.
Its proposals aim to meet that future demand and improve connectivity across the country.
Plans include increasing line speeds and expanding capacity on services.
Potential development options include:
Level crossings could also be closed in west Wales, there could be a new interchange station at Shotton, Flintshire, and improved line speeds on the north Wales coast main line and relief routes between Severn Tunnel Junction and Cardiff.
Tim James, head of strategy and planning for Network Rail Wales, said passenger numbers would continue to increase and while work over the next five years, including line electrification and signalling would improve reliability and the potential for more and faster journeys, there was still more to do to meet demand.
Members of the public can comment on the study until a consultation on the plan ends on 9 June.
US officials believe "corruption money" may have been moved through the now frozen accounts, the Swiss justice ministry said.
Between 50m and 100m Swiss francs ($50.1m-100.2m; £34m-£67m) was in them, media reports say.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the accounts belonged to Fifa.
Meanwhile, suspended Fifa President Sepp Blatter has been appearing before the organisation's ethics committee.
Mr Blatter, who is due to depart from Fifa on 26 February, strongly pleaded his innocence over corruption allegations, his lawyer said.
The committee, made up of four judges, is expected to make a ruling early next week.
The ethics investigation was launched following the decision by the Swiss attorney general to instigate criminal proceedings against Mr Blatter over a $2m (1.34m; €1.84m) payment to European soccer chief Michel Platini in 2011. Both men deny any wrongdoing.
Along with Mr Platini, Mr Blatter was suspended in October from participating in all soccer-related activity for 90 days pending a full inquiry into their conduct.
Some observers have highlighted the irony of Mr Blatter's appearance before the committee, given it was he who in 2012 gave it powers to become far tougher and more independent. He now argues that it does not have the power to remove an elected president and has complained of being the victim of an "inquisition".
The US is reported to have asked Switzerland to freeze about 50 accounts in 10 Swiss banks associated with its extensive inquiry into corruption in the highest echelons of world football, the Tages Anzeiger newspaper reported.
It is said that numerous Fifa members are believed to have accounts in Switzerland, including South American confederation head Nicolas Leoz, who had as many as 12.
Correspondents say that if the committee rules against Mr Blatter, he could be banned from football for years.
Earlier this week, he used his own stationery to write to Fifa's 209 member state associations to proclaim his innocence.
On Wednesday lawyers for Mr Platini said they would boycott an ethics committee hearing into allegations of corruption against him on Friday.
Lawyers for the Frenchman said they believed the verdict had already "been announced".
The Stoke City midfielder scored with a stunning long-range strike in their 2-2 draw in Austria on Thursday.
But he came off after the break with a hamstring injury and a scan later underlined the extent of the injury.
Wales are already without Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, who also has a hamstring problem.
Coleman said: "It's a shame for us, good for Georgia. It's just one of those things.
"It's a shame as well with no Aaron, of course. We're here, the game's in front of us.
Bale urges Wales: 'No slip-ups'
Joe Allen absence 'massive blow' - Neil Taylor
Seven-try Ospreys hammer Cardiff Blues
"We've got other players to step in and do the job for us, which they will do.
"But Joe won't be available. With the problem he's got you could play him or train him and it could go any minute."
Coleman hopes Allen will be fit when they host Serbia on Saturday, 12 November in Group D.
"We really need him next month. So from between now and then what he does is going to be very important," said the Wales boss.
"Whether he comes back too soon for Stoke, hopefully he won't. I'm sure they won't take a chance with him."
Wales remain top of their group on goal difference but level on points with second-placed Serbia, while Austria and the Republic of Ireland - who beat Georgia 1-0 - drop to third and fourth respectively.
Coleman added: "Have we got enough to get a result on Sunday without Joe Allen? Yes, we have. So I won't make any excuses."
The Wales manager says he could "probably have gambled" and kept Allen on the pitch.
"But we don't want to be doing that. He had a twinge in his hamstring, so that's why we took him off immediately," said Coleman.
"Joe belongs to Stoke City and we have to send him back in the condition that we received him. That's why we he came off."
Midfielder Gareth Bale said Wales were "frustrated", but underlined their qualities to win a point in Vienna.
"It's a difficult place to come if you look at their record in qualifying," said the Real Madrid player.

"They didn't lose at all [in qualifying for the Euros] and drew one game.
"We know we weren't at our best tonight. It was a difficult game. They're a very good team.
"This is what we've grown up to do - we grind out results when we need them.
"When we don't play well we defend solidly as a team. We get something from the game.
"We were frustrated. We know we didn't play well enough tonight."
Ofcom said it believed that Vodafone had broken the rules on handling complaints over a two-year period up to November 2015.
It accused Vodafone of failing to have the proper procedures in place.
Vodafone - which can be fined up to 10% of its turnover - said it would study the report in detail before responding.
Ofcom also accused the company of failing to send out written notifications to customers where a complaint was not resolved after eight weeks - a requirement under the industry code of practice.
Figures from the regulator show that Vodafone is the most complained-about network in the UK.
In March this year, the number of customers complaining about Vodafone rose from 20 to 32 per 100,000.
In a statement, a Vodafone spokesperson said, "We note Ofcom's statement on this investigation, with which we have been cooperating fully. We will be reviewing the Ofcom report in detail before deciding what representations to make."
Ofcom launched its inquiry into Vodafone last summer.
The company now has a chance to respond before Ofcom announces its final decision.
The 22-year-old has played over 50 games since joining the Pirates.
Quins need cover in the front row, with Will Collier out for two months and Kyle Sinckler set to be named in England's squad for the Six Nations.
"I am really pleased to be able to bring in someone with Tyler's ability at such short notice," director of rugby John Kingston said.
Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait at the mouth of the Gulf, a vital oil-trade route.
The new 370km (230 mile) pipeline carries oil from fields in the UAE's western desert to Fujairah - a major oil storage hub on the east coast.
With initial handling capacity of 1.5m barrels of crude a day, it gives the UAE direct access to the Indian Ocean.
The state-run International Petroleum Investment Company behind the project confirmed that the first export shipment was loaded onto a tanker through the pipeline on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.
UAE oil officials and executives from major oil firms including ExxonMobil, Shell and Total gathered on the country's eastern coast to open the pipeline route.
The UAE hopes to increase exports via the new facility to nearly two thirds of the daily 2.4 million barrels it exports.
"This is a very strategic project, it gives the options to our clients to transport larger quantities [of oil]," UAE's Oil Minister Mohammed bin Dhaen al-Hamli said, adding that the project provides an "alternative" trade route for oil.
Currently, nearly one fifth of the world's traded oil travels via the Strait of Hormuz which Iran has repeatedly threatened to close in retaliation for sanctions over its controversial nuclear programme.
Officials repeated the threat again over the weekend.
Until now, the UAE - like Qatar and Kuwait - had been entirely dependent on Hormuz to export its crude.
Other initiatives and travel help have also been set up as students start the new college year.
Last September, there were a number of sex attacks which prompted police and students' leaders to take action.
Cardiff University said it had been working with its Students' Union and South Wales Police to improve safety.
Cardiff Bus has said it is running some additional services through the night to get students back to their accommodation.
Cardiff council said 10 taxi drivers have been suspended since last September for refusing short fare journeys, prompting would-be customers to make alternative plans.
It is advising people to report drivers if they are refused a fare.
Prof Amanda Coffey, Cardiff University's pro vice-chancellor for student experience and academic standards, said: "Cardiff University and the Students' Union have taken a number of steps to help to create a safer environment for our students, including our Safe Taxi Scheme and the Student Safety Bus driven by police student volunteers."
She said other safety initiatives will see people help "students who are vulnerable as a result of drinking too much" to prevent them from "potentially becoming victims of crime".
The Drinkaware Crew has been launched by South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Alun Michael, alcohol education charity Drinkaware along with student unions' across south Wales.
NUS Wales told BBC Wales last week that it was planning to hold "bystander workshops" in every student union in Wales as part of the initiative to cut down on sexual harassment.
Mr Michael said: "This new scheme, borne out of the South Wales Violence Reduction Initiative, brings together organisations to address the safety of our student population and enable people to enjoy a night out without being at risk of harm."
Prof Coffey said volunteers working on the Student Safety Walk Scheme will be around the Students' Union to offer a "walking service" to students on selected evenings, provide security and other travel.
Mr Netanyahu has criticised the US and others for "giving up" on trying to stop Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
The Israeli PM "may not be correct", Mr Kerry said after attending the latest Iran nuclear talks in Geneva.
Mr Netanyahu will address Congress next week, after an invitation by Republican leaders criticised by the White House.
Mr Kerry was reacting to a speech in which Mr Netanyahu had said the US and others were "accepting that Iran will gradually, within a few years, develop capabilities to produce material for many nuclear weapons".
"I respect the White House and the president of the United States but on such a fateful matter, that can determine whether or not we survive, I must do everything to prevent such a great danger for Israel," he said in a speech in Israel.
Having just concluded the latest round of nuclear talks with Iran in Geneva, Mr Kerry told senators President Obama had made it clear the policy was not to let Iran get nuclear weapons and Mr Netanyahu's might therefore not be correct.
The invitation for Mr Netanyahu to speak before Congress has angered Democrats.
A spokesman for the White House warned against reducing US-Israeli relations to a party-political issue.
Administration officials have been hitting back at Mr Netanyahu's aggressive opposition to the nuclear deal they're negotiating with Iran - they're unhappy his speech to Congress will give him a platform to make his case as talks reach a critical juncture.
Susan Rice's comments highlight that strain and are the most direct reference by a senior official to the damage caused by the controversy over the visit. It was arranged by Republican congressional leaders without consulting the Democrats or the White House, just two weeks before Mr Netanyahu faces an election.
That has angered Democrats, some of whom feel they'll be forced to choose between President Obama and their desire not to upset Israel. More than a dozen have said they plan to skip the speech, opening an unprecedented breach in the usual show of bipartisan support for Israel.
Earlier, US National Security Adviser Susan Rice had gone further and said Mr Netanyahu's visit was "destructive to the fabric of the relationship".
Mr Netanyahu was invited by House Speaker John Boehner in what is seen as a rebuke to US President Barack Obama's Iran policy.
Mr Netanyahu is expected to discuss Iran, as well as Islamist militant groups, in his address.
The current tensions took root over a decade ago when Iran's nuclear programme first came to light.
In 2005, Iran was referred to the UN Security Council, leading to a series of sanctions and UN resolutions requiring Tehran to stop enriching uranium.
The US and other powers - the so-called P5+1 - are negotiating with Iran on its nuclear programme. They want to agree a deal by March this year, but Mr Netanyahu is opposed to any agreement which might allow Tehran to retain the future capacity to build a nuclear weapon.
The Israeli leader has turned down an invitation to meet Senate Democrats privately, saying this "could compound the misperception of partisanship" surrounding his trip.
Israeli papers are divided over the Obama-Netanyahu spat, with one appearing bemused by the prime minister's stance.
"The odd, even tragic, thing is that Netanyahu has been doing all he can in recent weeks to help the Iranians achieve their goal," Hemi Shalev writes in Haaretz.
"First by alienating Obama and the administration, then by provoking the Democratic senators," he adds, referring to Mr Netanyahu's refusal to meet senate democrats separately.
A commentary in the pro-Netanyahu paper Yisrael Hayom comes out in strong support of the prime minister, saying his Congress speech will be "the last chance to prevent a bad agreement that leaves Iran a threshold nuclear state".
"The future will prove to what extent Israel was right to be at the forefront of the struggle against the US administration," Haim Shain writes.
In Yedioth Ahronoth, Guy Bechur dismisses fears of a deeper rupture between the US and Israel, and quotes a Gallop poll in the US as suggesting that 70% of Americans "support or very much support Israel".
Several Democratic members of Congress including Vice-President Joe Biden have said they will not attend the speech.
Republican leaders did not consult the Obama administration before inviting Mr Netanyahu, which the White House has called a breach of protocol.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Wednesday: "The president has said the relationship between the US and Israel can't just be reduced to a relationship between the Republican party and the Likud party."
Mr Obama does not plan to meet Mr Netanyahu next week. The White House cited the "long-standing practice" of not meeting government leaders close to elections, which Israel will hold in mid-March.
Mr Netanyahu is fighting a tough election against the Labour Party's Yitzhak Herzog, who has focused on the prime minister's cooler relations with Mr Obama.
Robin Chard, 48, from Bicester, suffered a cardiac arrest after about 25 miles (40km) in Sunday's cycling event and died in hospital.
He hoped to raise £400 for Cancer Research UK but funds have hit £50,000.
Andrea Day, 43, said the family was "very touched by the kind messages".
"As you can imagine, we are all very shocked and saddened by the news of his passing," she said.
"He was a beloved son, husband, father, brother and friend to so many and will be sorely missed."
Mr Chard was taking part in the 100-mile (160km) event as a "personal crusade" after his father and stepfather died from lung cancer.
He himself had survived Hodgkin Lymphoma as a child.
Ed Aspel, executive director of fundraising at Cancer Research UK, said: "We are very grateful that he chose to cycle in RideLondon to support Cancer Research UK, and would like to express our deepest sympathy to his loved ones at this difficult time."
RideLondon said Mr Chard suffered a cardiac arrest at Kingston Bridge "and although he received immediate treatment from fellow riders and medical personnel at the scene, he died later in Kingston Hospital".
More than 29,000 riders took part in the event. Of these, 33 were taken to hospital, three had serious injuries, the organisers said.
What is RideLondon?
Drainage work on land between junction 12, Tal-y-Bont, and junction 13, Abergwyngregyn, will begin in the autumn, once the landowners agree.
It is part of a stretch of the A55 closed by flooding on Boxing Day.
First Minster Carwyn Jones also said a separate £1.9m Tal-y-Bont scheme is due to start in the spring and be ready for winter.
Mr Jones visited the village, also hit by flooding over Christmas, in January - a week after residents complained they had been left waiting for him after he had driven through the village without stopping.
He apologised but said he did not know they had been expecting him.
Visiting the Traffic Management Centre in Conwy on Thursday, he said: "When I saw the flooding on the A55 and then met residents of Tal-y-Bont who had been affected, I said that the money was available for a flood alleviation scheme to help reduce the risk of it happening again.
"Following discussion with Gwynedd council, I'm pleased to say that construction can start this April and will be complete ahead of next winter."
He said the A55 work "needs a great deal of planning because of its sheer scale".
"The plan is not that there are perpetual road works on the A55," he added.
"At the moment, we need to make sure that the tunnels are safe for the future.
"We're not planning any works after Easter of this year, but you have to remember that the A55 was built on the cheap, unfortunately.
"If you look at some of the sections like the tunnels, it's just the old road. We would never build a road like that now, we would build a far better road. So we have to improve the road's resilience for the future."
Cardiff Blues head coach Danny Wilson, his attack coach Matt Sherratt and Scarlets backs coach Stephen Jones will join tour head coach Robin McBryde for the Tests against Tonga and Samoa.
The move is to develop Welsh coaches in the absence of Warren Gatland and Rob Howley, who will be on the British and Irish Lions' tour of New Zealand.
Alex Lawson will also join as assistant strength and conditioning coach.
Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Martyn Phillips said: "We see this as the start of a push to work closely with the regional coaches and very much intend to involve additional coaches in the years ahead as opportunities arise."
Jones, a double Grand Slam-winning former Wales fly-half who won 104 caps, began his coaching career at Wasps and returned to Scarlets as backs coach in 2015.
Former Wales Under-20s head coach Wilson joined Cardiff Blues from Bristol in 2015 having previously worked with Scarlets and Newport Gwent Dragons.
Sherratt followed Wilson from Bristol to the Blues and was part of Wales' coaching team for the 2016 autumn series, which saw Wales win three out of their four fixtures.
Firing took place on the international border between Samba sector and Pakistan after an Indian soldier was killed in an attack blamed on Pakistan.
A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but it is often violated.
In October, 16 people - nine Pakistanis and seven Indians - died when the two sides exchanged fire for several days.
"We have retaliated effectively... four Pakistani rangers have been killed along the international border in Samba sector [in Jammu region]," Reuters quoted BSF [Border Security Force] inspector general for Jammu region Rakesh Sharma as saying.
"As Pakistani rangers suffered casualties, they waved white flags, asking BSF to stop the firing so that they can lift the bodies of the dead men. We stopped the firing after their request," Mr Sharma added.
Pakistan said it had lodged a protest with the Indian high commissioner in Islamabad.
"The Indian deputy high commissioner was summoned to the ministry of foreign affairs to lodge a strong protest on the unprovoked firing," a Pakistani foreign office statement said.
On Thursday morning, India said Pakistani forces had fired at several Indian posts late in the night along the border.
Correspondents say 2014 saw an escalation in hostilities between the neighbours with some of the worst violence in a decade. Both sides have accused each other of starting hostilities.
Earlier in the summer, India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif to his inauguration and there were hopes that relations between Delhi and Islamabad would improve.
But ties have deteriorated since then with India cancelling scheduled talks with Pakistan in August and insisting that Delhi would "not tolerate acts of border violations by Pakistan" and that "ceasefire violations must stop".
Kashmir, claimed by both countries in its entirety, has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years and the South Asian rivals have fought two wars over the region.
The Trump Organisation has submitted plans for a second 18-hole course at the Menie resort.
If given the go-ahead, the course would be named Mary Macleod after Mr Trump's Scottish mother.
Sepa wants the plans to be revised over sewage and pollution concerns.
The Trump Organisation already owns an 18-hole course at the site.
Aberdeenshire Council is due to discuss the planning application at a meeting on the 22 August.
In its submission, Sepa detailed concerns over waste water drainage associated with the planning application.
The environment organisation also raised concerns about proposals to plant non-native plants near Hole 5 of the course as well as a failure to supply an up-to-date environmental management plan.
A spokesperson Sepa said: "As a statutory consultee under planning regulations, Sepa has noted a number of objections to the current proposals in relation to provision of waste water disposal and wider protection of the water environment.
"If further information or revised proposals are presented by the Trump International Golf Links that alleviate these concerns, Sepa would consider removing our objections."
The Trump Organisation will now have the opportunity to revise its plans to comply with Sepa's demands.
Trump International Golf Links said in a statement: "The recent correspondence between Trump International, the local authority and statutory consultants is a normal part of the planning process and the regular ongoing dialogue conducted during the application process.
"SNH and Sepa always reference a range of policy considerations and factors which is standard practice and nothing out of the ordinary.
"Our application is making its way through the planning system and this dialogue will continue until it goes before committee for consideration.
"The Dr Martin Hawtree designed second golf course is located to the south of the Trump estate and does not occupy a Site of Special Scientific Interest therefore is not covered by any environmental designations.
"We are extremely confident in our proposal and that this process will reach a satisfactory conclusion acceptable to all parties on our world class development."
The four-time champion did about 40 laps at Ferrari's Fiorano test track before Thursday's accident. Pirelli said he "simply lost control".
Vettel could give no further details of what happened, but said: "All good. I have no injuries or ailments."
The car, a 2015 model modified to simulate 2017 downforce levels, was too damaged to continue with the test.
That meant the plan for Ferrari reserve driver Antonio Giovinazzi to have his first taste of an F1 car on Friday had to be called off.
The Pirelli spokesman said the company was evaluating potential technologies aimed at the 2018 season, including new tread patterns and rubber compounds.
Vettel's crash was on his first lap out of the pits after a break for lunch. The weather was cold - the temperature was 4C - and it has been suggested that a lack of temperature in the tyres could well have been a contributing factor.
F1 tyres have to be at the right temperature to operate effectively and the temperature in Maranello on Thursday was in the region of 10C cooler than F1 cars would ever normally encounter at even the coolest Grand Prix.
The Pirelli spokesman also said that one of the technologies the company was trying that day were tyres that operate without the use of the heating blankets that have been used in F1 for many years to ensure they are at close to operating temperature as possible when they leave the pits.
Pirelli has modified its wet-weather tyres for the 2017 season in response to widespread criticism from drivers of the 'extreme' tyre, which is used in the worst conditions.
Vettel described the tyre at last year's British Grand Prix as "basically just good enough to follow the safety car", adding that "no-one really has any trust in it".
The issue arose again following a number of crashes during the soaking race in Brazil in November.
The problems have led to F1 giving Pirelli more test days to try out tyre developments. One of the eight pre-season test days in Barcelona at the end of this month and the beginning of March has been dedicated to this.

Fellow world champion Peter Sagan won the men's race with a solo victory.
Armitstead, who rides for the Boels-Dolmans team, edged out Sweden's Emma Johansson to win her race, which is now part of the Women's WorldTour.
The pair broke clear on the final climb. A group of nine were unable to chase them down and Armitstead triumphed in a long sprint to the line.
It is the 27-year-old's fourth win of the season after success at Omloop het Nieuwsblad, Strade Bianche and Trofeo Binda.
Sagan was 25 seconds clear of three-time winner Fabian Cancellara, who was competing in his final Tour of Flanders, with Sep Vanmarcke third.
The Slovakian dropped Vanmarcke on the Paterberg, the tough cobbled ascent that has a maximum gradient of 20%, then held off Cancellara's challenge, increasing his lead in the last 5km of the 255km race.
Britain's Luke Rowe was fifth, 48 seconds behind Sagan, with fellow Welshman and Team Sky colleague Geraint Thomas 12th.

Norma Bell's body was found in her burning home in Westbourne Road, Hartlepool, in April. The 79-year-old had been strangled with a cable.
Gareth Dack told Teesside Crown Court he was selling cocaine on the night of Mrs Bell's death.
Mr Dack, 33, denies murder and arson.
Under cross-examination, he said he had been selling the Class A drug from his parents' garage but refused to name any buyers as he claimed they included solicitors and police community support officers.
The prosecution said revealing their identities could provide Mr Dack with an alibi and were crucial to his credibility.
It alleged he lied to the jury to cover his tracks.
Mr Dack, of Windermere Road, Hartlepool, is accused of trying to blow up Mrs Bell's home after killing her.
It is also alleged he stole a boxed TV and £700 and called sex chat-lines from her landline as she lay dying or dead.
The father of four's DNA was found on a number of items including a spent match on a gas hob and a ligature around Mrs Bell's neck.
However, he told the court that was a result of carrying out odd jobs for her rather than the items being left during a fatal attack.
He said he visited her house to fix her gate on the night before her body was discovered and added she was alive when he left.
The trial continues.
The findings were published after a year-long investigation by the city council's scrutiny committee.
The report said children in care or involved in gangs were among those most at risk of being exploited.
It acknowledged there was "serious child sexual exploitation" in Birmingham but said the "totality of the problem" was unclear.
Councillor Brigid Jones, cabinet member for children and young people, said the council was requesting ??123m over the next three years to improve its children's department, which has been rated inadequate since 2008.
She said the authority would work with police and schools to tackle child sex exploitation but said it was not solely the council's responsibility.
"It's all of society," she said.
"Particularly our approach to young women and how we treat them."
The report - called We Need to Get it Right - identified 83 children most at risk, three boys and 80 girls.
It found "good practice" in general, but said there were "a few cases where appropriate action had not been taken".
Figures in the report - based on information collected in September - "do not provide a complete picture of the extent of CSE in the city of Birmingham for various reasons", it said.
The council said it hoped it would act as a "wake-up call" to professionals and children, who "may not consider themselves victims".
"This will help increase understanding", the report said, "although given the hidden nature of this crime it will still not show the whole picture."
The report said West Midlands Police had told the council "every ward in the city has got risks and potential and every area has a story around CSE: victim, offender or location."
Committee members made 19 recommendations, which Ms Jones said had been wholly accepted by the council.
One of the recommendations included promoting online safety, particularly around smartphone tracking.
The council heard evidence "social apps" could be used to identify a potential victim's location and manufacture an "accidental" meeting with them.
There were also reports of perpetrators broadcasting messages over Bluetooth in busy public places in the hope of making contact with a potential target.
"By looking around and seeing who seems to be smiling about it and responding the groomer would tailor his responses and then maybe go and introduce themselves," it said.
In another case, the report said, a primary school boy was groomed via his Xbox by two would-be abusers who arranged to meet him in a hotel room.
His mother was able to alert police before the meeting took place, it said.
Last week, the city council became the first authority to use civil injunctions in a bid to block child sex exploitation.
Nine men were barred from approaching "any female under 18", with whom they were not personally associated.
The High Court injunctions came after social workers raised concerns about the welfare of a 17-year-old girl.
The council said it was working on a wider review of child sexual exploitation in Birmingham.
Bernie McNally, the former social services executive director at the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, had been due to take over as executive director for children's services in Birmingham but she has withdrawn her interest.
The figures, released by publisher Penguin Random House, include both print and e-books.
Many bookshops around the country stayed open all night to cope with demand when the novel went on sale on Tuesday.
The book is set 20 years after the events of Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird.
"It's so fabulous to see a book dominating the news agenda and to be reminded of just how important literature and reading is to all of us," said publisher Susan Sandon.
"I speak for everyone at Penguin Random House when I say how privileged we are to be part of this piece of publishing history."
The novel has had mixed reviews, with many Harper Lee fans shocked to discover that Atticus Finch, the moral centre of To Kill a Mockingbird, is painted as a racist "bigot".
Lee wrote Go Set a Watchman in the mid-1950s - but her editor persuaded her to turn some of the story's flashback sequences into a separate novel.
That novel became To Kill A Mockingbird, which went on to be regarded as one of the greatest novels of the 20th Century.
Penguin Random House wouldn't comment on how Watchman's first-day sales compared to EL James' Fifty Shades spin-off novel, Grey, which was published in June.
It said last month that Grey had broken the first week UK sales record for adult books, selling 647,401 copies in its first three days, beating record holder Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, which sold 551,000 copies in five days in 2009.
It took residents in Brixham, Devon, 10 years to raise the £76,000 needed.
Artist Elizabeth Hadley was commissioned to create the bronze life-size Man and Boy statue.
Eighty-three British commercial fishermen died in the past decade at sea, according to the Marine Accident Investigation Branch.
Brixham is one of the largest fishing ports in the UK.
The names of fishermen both past and present will also be commemorated on plaques near the new statue.
Victoria Bowen, who helped fundraise said: "It's a high-risk industry and it's important people remember what these guys face when they are bringing home what they call 'the silvery harvest'."
Barry Young from Brixham Trawler Agents said: "It's a big effort from a long campaign which has been going on for 10 years"
More than 50 bones were found after tourists found some of the remains in the isle's Massacre Cave last year.
Analysis by archaeologists at Historic Environment Scotland has dated the remains to the time of the killings.
About 400 islanders, who were members of the Macdonald clan, were murdered by a raiding party of Macleods from Skye.
The islanders had been hiding in the cave for three days when they were discovered.
Macleods blocked the narrow entrance to their hideout with heather and other vegetation before setting the material alight.
The Macdonalds were suffocated by smoke and their bodies left in the cave.
It is believed that the massacre happened in or around the year 1577.
The history and legends of Eigg in the Small Isles can at times read like George R R Martin's popular Game of Thrones fantasy series, or TV adaptation of his books.
Like Martin's tales, the island has stories of giants and episodes of bloody violence.
In 617AD, Christian pilgrim St Donnan was beheaded and his fellow monks murdered.
Legend tells of the killings were carried out by large female warriors who lived on the Sgurr, volcanic outcrop that dominates the skyline on Eigg.
Then in the 16th Century, there was the tit for tat violence of the Macdonald-Macleod clans feud.
It saw a chieftain's son beaten and left for dead in a small boat that is said to have drifted back to his home in Skye.
His father, Macleod of Dunvegan, swore to avenge this act, leading to the Eigg Massacre in a secluded cave.
Over following centuries, various parts of skeletons were taken away by souvenir hunters before the authorities later intervened at the request of islanders and all remains that could be found were interred in Eigg's graveyard.
But tourists visiting the cave in October found a number of bones. Archaeologists went on to recover a total of 53 bones.
Camille Dressler, a historian on Eigg, believes the new discovery may have followed a natural disturbance of soil which revealed the remains.
She hopes the bones, which are also to eventually be interred in the isle's graveyard, will stimulate new research of the massacre and the history around it.
She told BBC Radio Scotland that the killings happened during a long standing dispute between the Macdonalds of Clanranald and the Macleods of Dunvegan on Skye.
Hostilities were escalated by the arrival of a party of Macleods on a small island off Eigg during a storm.
Ms Dressler said: "They helped themselves to cattle and perhaps molested some of the girls looking after the cattle.
"So a party of Eigg Macdonalds crossed over to the island and dispatched the Macleods, reserving the worst fate for the first son of the chief of Macleod of Dunvegan by breaking his limbs and putting him adrift in a little boat without oars, condemning him to a slow and painful death.
"It is said he drifted all the way back to Dunvegan and the chief swore he would have his revenge on the people of Eigg."
A fleet of warriors was sent out from Skye but their galleys were spotted by a watchman on Eigg and the islanders fled the cave.
Its entrance was said to be hidden behind a waterfall.
When the raiders landed they only found an elderly woman who told them nothing of her fellow islanders' hiding place, said Ms Dressler.
Searches for the rest of the residents proved fruitless and the Macleods destroyed the Macdonalds' homes before setting off back to Skye.
It had started snowing and shortly after returning to sea the raiders spotted an islander, who had been sent out from the cave to check if the Macleods had left, against a snow-covered cliff face.
Ms Dressler said: "The Macleods immediately landed back on Eigg and followed the islander's foot prints in the snow to the cave."
The waterfall was diverted and the cave's entrance blocked with flammable material.
Ms Dressler said: "Macleod of Dunvegan hesitated at the last moment and decided the Macdonald's fate should be left to the judgement of God.
"If the wind blew inland from the sea he would have the material lit. If the wind blew from the land to the sea, it would not."
The wind blew in from the sea.
The remains of the massacred Macdonalds were found for years afterwards.
Hugh Miller, a 19th Century geologist, described seeing skulls covered in green mould and writer Sir Walter Scott also visited the Massacre Cave.
Victorian tourists took pieces of bones as souvenirs before all the remaining bones that could be found were buried in Eigg's graveyard at the request of concerned islanders.
Ms Dressler believes last year's discovery may have followed a natural disturbance of soil which revealed the bones to the modern day tourists.
She added: "Some people don't like to go into the cave because of the narrow entrance and they reflect on this as the place where so many people perished."
The bodies of Peter and Jean Tarsey, both 77, were found at their villa on Sunday, the Guardia Civil said.
A Spanish police spokeswoman said friends visited the couple, thought to be originally from west London, because they had not been seen for a few days.
The Foreign Office said it was "ready to provide consular assistance".
A Guardia Civil spokeswoman said: "They [the friends] found the door was open and there were no signs of a break-in.
"The couple, who had been living in Spain for 18 years, were found dead with gunshot wounds on the sofa.
"The Guardia Civil is now awaiting the results of post-mortem examinations and investigations continue."
Mr Tarsey was a former British Olympic diver who competed in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics for Great Britain and represented England at the Commonwealth Games in 1954 and 1958.
Xalo is in the province of Alicante on Spain's south-eastern coast and is part of the Costa Blanca, a popular tourist destination.
In Europe and America, this is one in five people. And since they are less likely to be in work, their poverty rate is about twice as high.
So technologies that could help disabled people contribute more in the workplace - and improve their quality of life - are surely welcome.
And it also makes good business sense.
If a million more disabled people could work, the UK economy alone would grow 1.7%, or £45bn ($64bn), says disability charity Scope.
Motor neuron disease affects 400,000 people worldwide, including renowned scientist Professor Stephen Hawking. Multiple sclerosis affects 2.3 million.
But neurons controlling eye movement are more resistant to degenerative diseases. This is also true of other parts of the face, like the cheek, which Prof Hawking uses to communicate.
US company LC Technologies has invented a device that enables people to control a computer using just their eyes.
Eyegaze Edge is the latest invention of the company, which was founded in 1988 by a group of engineers in a basement.
It solved the basic scientific problems then, but the early device was cumbersome and very expensive.
"We crammed it in back of a single-engine plane and took it around to towns where there was a need," says medical director Nancy Cleveland.
"Now, it fits in a suitcase in a commercial aircraft."
The technology behind Eyegaze is called Pupil Centre/Corneal Reflection, or PCCR. A tablet is set up in front of the user, with a small video camera underneath. A near-infrared LED (light-emitting diode) light illuminates the user's eye.
The camera then measures the distance between the centre of your pupil and the reflection of LED light on your cornea - the transparent bit of your eye at the front.
This tiny distance shifts as your gaze changes, and this enables a computer to work out exactly where you're looking.
"People have done all kinds of interesting jobs," says Ms Cleveland, "and all they had was the ability to move their eyes."
She says about 12 books have been written using the device.
A similar device is the HeadMouse Nano, recently developed by Texas-based Origin Instruments.
A camera tracks the movements of a reflective dot stuck to the user's forehead, and these motions control a computer cursor.
Selections are made using a "sip-puff" switch in the mouth, or by dwell time - how long the head stays in a certain position.
It requires slightly more motor ability in its users, but is cheaper.
"Lately, we've reduced size and power consumption," says Origin's vice president Mel Dashner, who worked on tracking devices for aircraft during the Cold War. "We're mainly riding the wave of cell phone technology like everybody else."
There are about 39 million blind people in the world, according to the World Health Organisation. But 90% have at least some level of light perception.
So Stephen Hicks, a neuroscientist at Oxford University, has developed "smart glasses" that accentuate the contrast between light and dark objects.
"We try to represent the world in simple and unambiguous real-time images," he says.
The nearest image is bright, whereas the rest of the field is black, and the the contrast between them is cranked up to maximum.
Mr Hicks started working on the glasses in 2010, with tech firm Epson providing the see-through computer displays.
He has since had additional help from the Royal National Institute for the Blind, and prize money from a Google Impact Challenge award.
The biggest challenge for him has been in keeping the weight down - if the glasses weigh more than 120g (4.2oz) wearers get headaches, he says.
So he has put the battery and processing unit into a handset, connected to the glasses by a small cable.
Technology can even help the 1.5 million people in the world who are deaf and blind. Helen Keller, most famously, was the first deafblind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree in 1904.
Deafblind people can communicate using tactical alphabets - pressing or pinching different parts of the hand represents different letters.
Now Nicholas Caporusso, from Bari in southern Italy, has developed a way of turning these movements and touches into electronic signals via a special glove.
Sensors in his dbGLOVE turn these alphabet tracings into computer text, and actuators trace the letters back onto the hand. This will enable deafblind people to operate computers and smartphones.
Mr Caporusso hopes the final device, which was developed with two partners from Finland - where Nokia has left a legacy of mobile phone inventiveness - will be ready early this year.
"The perfect match of Italian design and Finnish technology," Mr Caporusso calls it.
The biggest challenge was size, he says, as it is with many of these assistive technologies: "All these cables, actuators, and sensors are in a very small space."
Advances in 3D printing and bio-electronics are also helping replace missing limbs with prosthetics and give disabled people extra functionality.
For example, in 2014, Ontario-based Thalmic Labs released an armband called the Myo. It enables a person to control computer devices by reading the electricity produced by their skeletal muscles and then sending these signals wirelessly via Bluetooth to the device.
In December 2015, researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore adapted this armband to control a prosthetic limb.
Thalmic's chief executive, Stephen Lake, says Myo "slides right on the arm, with no surgery or skin prep, and provides much more reliable signals than you can get with electrodes."
The technology was originally developed to facilitate gesture-controlled presentations and has been used by DJs to control lighting displays.
And if such assistive technology can be used by non-disabled people, too, it can be made more cheaply to the benefit of all.
The writers took out a full page advert in Mexican newspaper El Universal to defend the right of all journalists to be free from fear and censorship.
The statement by the PEN International writers group was signed by 170 of the world's most acclaimed authors.
PEN says 67 journalists have been murdered in Mexico since 2000.
Among those signing the declaration "to the journalists and writers of Mexico" were Nobel laureates JM Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer, Toni Morrison, Orhan Pamuk, Wole Soyinka, Mario Vargas Llosa and Derek Walcott.
Other famous signatories included Chinua Achebe, Margaret Atwood, Ariel Dorfman and Salman Rushdie.
"We, writers from around the world, stand with you and all Mexican citizens who are calling for the killing, the impunity, the intimidation to stop," the newspaper advert said.
"These violations diminish us all and threaten the right of Mexican citizens to live lives both safe and free from censorship," it went on.
"We call on your government to apprehend and prosecute all who have silenced your colleagues and seek to silence you".
Mexico is considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists.
The majority of the killings have been linked to organised criminal gangs, with journalists targeted because of their coverage of drug-trafficking.
There is also widespread intimidation, and some media practice self-censorship to protect their staff.

Hewitt, 75, was found guilty in March of two counts of rape and one of sexual assault on girls he was coaching in the 1980s and 1990s.
Judge Bert Bam criticised the Australian-born player for not showing remorse during his trial.
He said justice must be seen to be done, even for ageing offenders.
One of the victims who gave evidence at the trial said that Hewitt had assaulted her when she was just 12 years old.
The judge said at the time of Hewitt's conviction that the striking similarities between the three victims' testimonies showed that his conduct was calculated.
Speaking at the sentencing hearing in Pretoria, Hewitt's wife Delaille had begged the court to show mercy and not award a custodial sentence.
Hewitt had testified that he suffered from poor health.
The BBC's Nomsa Maseko, in Johannesburg, says the tennis champion has also been ordered to pay a fine to the South African Department of Justice, which will help fund its campaigns against sexual abuse.
Hewitt, who was a multiple Grand Slam doubles champion in the 1960s and 1970s, is expected to appeal against his conviction and sentence.
He was suspended from the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2012 over the allegations.
Hewitt played initially for Australia, later moving to South Africa and taking citizenship there.
He was a member of the South African team which won the Davis Cup by default in 1974.
India, their opponents, refused to travel to South Africa for the final as a protest over the government's apartheid policies.
The pair were found at an address in Alpha Road, Croydon, at about 07:20 BST. The woman, 37, was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
The man, aged 25, was also wounded but his injuries were not thought to be life threatening.
A 34-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder. Police said the trio knew each other.
Karim Benzema turned in Dani Carvajal's low cross to open the scoring for Real.
They were in danger of slipping six points behind leaders Barcelona, who won 2-0 at Levante earlier, as Yousseff El-Arabi equalised for Granada.
But Modric hammered the ball into the top corner in the 84th minute to give boss Zinedine Zidane a first away win.
Relive all the action here.
The opener was Benzema's 23rd goal of the season and eighth in his last six games as Real forward Cristiano Ronaldo again failed to score away from home.
Ronaldo's last goal away from the Bernabeu came at the end of November and the top scorer missed an early chance as he fired just wide of the far post.
Granada had lost three of their last four league games and last season conceded 13 goals in two league defeats by Real.
But they carried a real threat all evening and after goalkeeper Andres Fernandez had superbly saved from Benzema, deservedly levelled through substitute El-Arabi with an hour gone.
The Morocco international ran onto a pass from former Blackburn forward Ruben Rochina to slot home with virtually his first touch to become the joint top scorer in Granada's La Liga history with 34 goals.
But ex-Tottenham midfielder Modric capped a superb display with his first league goal of the season to keep Real a point behind city rivals Atletico Madrid and four adrift of leaders Barca.
Elsewhere in La Liga, Sevilla held out with 10 men after having on-loan Tottenham defender Federico Fazio sent off to secure a 1-1 draw at top-six rivals Celta Vigo and extend their unbeaten run to 10 games.
Fazio received two bookings in the first 25 minutes of his first game since rejoining Seville, who went ahead through Daniel Carrico's 43rd-minute goal.
Claudio Beauvue levelled for Celta Vigo 19 minutes into the second half, and the two teams will meet again in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final next Thursday evening with Sevilla leading 4-0 from the first leg.
His party would cut less than the Tories and borrow less than Labour, he said.
Lib Dem economic plans have "a heart as well as a brain", he added.
It comes as the Tories announced plans to cut inheritance tax on family homes and Labour said it would ramp up fines on tax avoiders.
The Lib Dems say they would get rid of the deficit through raising taxes by an additional £12bn, cutting public spending by £12bn, and cutting welfare by £3bn.
The Conservatives described the announcement as "further evidence that a vote for the Lib Dems is a vote for higher taxes".
Mr Clegg challenged the other parties to spell out in similar detail how they would balance the nation's books.
He acknowledged that the two years following 7 May's general election would not be easy.
But he claimed that the Lib Dems were the only party offering a "balanced" programme to pay down the remaining deficit, while still finding money to raise income tax thresholds to £11,000 and invest in the NHS.
"We are going to spread the burden of finishing the job of fixing the economy fairly across society," he said.
"Yes that means more cuts, but it also means asking the wealthiest to pay their fair share too."
The Lib Dem plans involve finding £3bn savings from the welfare budget, including "savings which ask wealthy pensioners to make a small sacrifice", he said.
Universal credit will be adjusted, and the rate of increase of benefits will be "restrained", he added.
The Lib Dem deficit-reduction plans include:
Mr Clegg said: "We have a plan to build a stronger economy and a fairer society, which means we will cut less than the Conservatives and borrow less than Labour.
"It's a plan to protect our economy and invest in our schools, hospitals and public services... a plan with a heart as well as a brain."
He added: "I can't promise you the next two years will be easy. Your hard work and sacrifice has turned our economy around, but there is still a job to finish.
"But, with the Liberal Democrats, there is light at the end of the tunnel and the only way to continue the balanced approach that the coalition has taken is to put Liberal Democrats in government again."
A Conservative spokesman said: "Today just serves as further evidence that a vote for the Lib Dems is a vote for higher taxes - which is exactly what Labour want too.
"Only the Conservative Party are committed to cutting taxes so people keep more of the money they earn."
Entryism is the infiltration of an organisation by another group's members who intend to change its policies.
The tribunal found that two members associated with the CPI had been unjustifiably expelled from the union.
It also criticised Nipsa's "regular" record of sorting out internal grievances though tribunals.
Its judgement said "the tribunal does not exist to provide a public forum for the periodic ventilation of obscure and internecine disputes within Nipsa".
It added that "no other union appears to require this regular attention".
The Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance (Nipsa) has more than 45,000 members, mainly Civil Service staff and public sector employees.
The judgement said the case was part of a dispute between two factions in the union which "has been a rich source of litigation over recent years".
The factions are: 'unity', which is associated with the Marxist Leninist CPI, and the 'broad left' which is associated with various Trotskyite parties.
The case involved two people who were employed as officials for other trade unions and then joined Nipsa.
They were elected as officers and delegates in their Nipsa branch in 2015.
Their right to membership of the union was queried by members associated with the broad left who also alleged the meeting at which they were elected had been "packed" by the CPI.
The tribunal noted that "as Communist coups go, it was hardly the storming of the Winter Palace".
The union leadership, which is dominated by the broad left, decided the two people were not eligible for membership as Nipsa does not represent employees of other trade unions.
The two took a case to the tribunal alleging discrimination on the grounds of political opinion.
However the tribunal said they had not shown that the two factions actually have any substantive political differences.
It added that name-calling or trolling on social media is not sufficient to show political difference nor is "alleged adherence to Trotsky's 1938 Transitional Program".
However the tribunal found they had nonetheless been unjustifiably expelled from the union.
They claimants said they have suffered stress, insomnia and reputation damage as a result.
However, the tribunal said it has seen no evidence of this, adding "the claimants nor any representative of the respondent trade union evinced any degree of stress or upset during the hearing".
"To the contrary everybody involved, and their supporters, showed every sign of enjoying the process."
Shanay Walker, 7, from Nottingham died in 2014 from a brain injury. She had more than 50 injuries to her body.
Her aunt Kay-Ann Morris was later jailed for child cruelty.
Social worker Christine Baker told an inquest she has been "taken in" by Morris who had "talked the talk and ticked every box".
An earlier 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.
Morris told Mrs Baker that Shanay would be moving into an extended family and that she had several years' experience as a carer for people with dementia.
Mrs Baker said: "I was taken in, I fully accept that."
Coroner Mairin Casey was told there were 16 "contact meetings" between Shanay and Morris before the trial placement began in July 2012.
The inquest heard Morris had told social workers about her own violent and abusive childhood in which she had been abused by her own mother Juanila Smikle, who is also Shanay's grandmother.
Smikle was jailed on five counts of cruelty after Shanay's death.
Mrs Baker said she should have thought more about Morris' experiences as a child when assessing her.
She said: "On reflection, I should have done a more robust assessment and I should have explored the family network more for potential risks.
"I took too many things at face value and I'm really sorry about that."
Morris was jailed for eight years, while Smikle, of Easegill Court, Nottingham was found guilty of cruelty at a retrial and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The inquest continues.
The SY Hygeia of Halsa, registered in the UK, was boarded by French customs off the island of Martinique on Monday as it began a transatlantic crossing.
Two men from Jersey, aged 42 and 57, were arrested after the seizure of about 550lb (250kg) of the class A drug.
The pair face prosecution from the French authorities.
The yacht was boarded after an investigation involving the British and French police and officials from the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Hank Cole, the NCA's head of international operations, said: "We have no doubt that without this intervention the drugs would have ended up on the streets of the UK where, after being cut, they would have had a likely potential value of £30-40 million.
"Our investigation into the organised crime network involved in this attempt continues."
Det Supt Neil Thompson, from the Metropolitan Police said: "It is clear that the drugs recovered would have been distributed throughout the streets of London and beyond, generating further criminality and fuelling gang activity.
"If you deal in drugs in any scale we will find you, we will arrest you, and you will face the consequences of your actions."
The seizure follows a similar haul found by the Irish Naval Service in September based on information supplied by the NCA.
He is 20 points behind Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, who finished second at the Red Bull Ring behind Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas.
Hamilton said: "I don't have a crystal ball but it doesn't look great.
"There is a long way to go. The bigger the gap gets, the more the pressure builds."
Yet Hamilton recovered from eight on the grid, after a five-place penalty for making an unauthorised gearbox change, and added that there were some positives.
"Twenty points behind is 20 points behind," he said. "It's not great but it could be 30-something today. Of course, there is a hit when you get a penalty and start eighth rather than third. It makes a difference but it is not the end of the world. I got the best points I could."
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said that Bottas' victory had done Hamilton a favour because it took points away from Vettel.
"For Lewis, it was actually the best outcome that Valtteri wins the race rather than Sebastian," Wolff said.
"It was important for him to take the points home even if for him it feels like a loss today.
"It can't really come much worse. A safe lead in Baku [two weeks ago] lost by a tiny little thing [the headrest coming loose]. Then while still recovering, you need to take a gearbox penalty on a track that is not completely bad for overtaking but not great. Overall, not the best days."
Bottas' victory moves him to within 15 points of Hamilton and the Finn said he "believed" he could win the title in his first year at Mercedes.
"For me, since the day I signed with Mercedes, what else can you put as a target?" the Finn said.
"It has always been the target. but I don't want to shout about it too much.
"It is still early days in the championship and with more than 50% of the season to go, so there are a massive amount of points to get - and with this team, I am developing so much every single race."
Vettel said: "I don't really care. Obviously, I'm not too happy today because I didn't win. I had the clear aim today to win and didn't quite make it. It was very tight.
"Points-wise, I know that the higher-up you finish, the better it is with points but whether it's Valtteri, Lewis or someone else, I think you're fighting anyone out there for the race. That's been the primary target today, for the past races and will be for the next races.
"Then I think you change your minds fairly quickly in terms of who is a contender and who is not. We're still quite early, there are a lot of points to get, so I'm not too bothered at the moment."
IS began demolishing the site, which was founded in the 13th Century BC, on Thursday, according to Iraqi officials.
The head of the UN's cultural agency condemned the "systematic" destruction in Iraq as a "war crime".
IS, which controls large areas of Iraq and Syria, says shrines and statues are "false idols" that have to be smashed.
"They are erasing our history," said Iraqi archaeologist Lamia al-Gailani.
Nimrud lies on the Tigris river, about 30km (18 miles) south-east of Mosul, which IS controls.
Many of the artefacts found there have been moved to museums in Baghdad and overseas, but many remain on site.
BBC Middle East correspondent Jim Muir says the attempt to destroy Nimrud is already being compared with the Taliban's demolition of the Bamiyan Buddha rock sculptures in Afghanistan in 2001.
As well as destroying artefacts, Islamic State also trades in them - and the trade is one of its key sources of revenue.
IS "assaulted the historic city of Nimrud and bulldozed it with heavy vehicles," the tourism and antiquities ministry said on Thursday.
It said the militants continued to "defy the will of the world and the feelings of humanity", calling for a UN Security Council meeting to discuss how to protect cultural heritage in Iraq.
Nimrud covers a large area, and it is not yet clear whether it has been totally destroyed, our correspondent says.
But a local tribal source told Reuters news agency: "Islamic State members came to the Nimrud archaeological city and looted the valuables in it and then they proceeded to level the site to the ground.
"There used to be statues and walls as well as a castle that Islamic State has destroyed completely."
The unrivalled riches of Nimrud
Irina Bokova, head of the UN cultural agency Unesco, condemned the assault.
"This is yet another attack against the Iraqi people, reminding us that nothing is safe from the cultural cleansing under way in the country," she said.
"The deliberate destruction of cultural heritage constitutes a war crime. There is absolutely no political or religious justification for the destruction of humanity's cultural heritage."
Dr Gailani told the BBC: "Nimrud for us in Iraq and for me as an archaeologist is one of the most important [sites]. There are still quite a lot of things that are standing - the reliefs and the statues, the famous winged bulls.
"They are erasing our history. I wish it was a nightmare and I could wake up."
It is a "horrific crime against the cultural heritage of the whole world", said the president of the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, John Curtis, calling Nimrud "the best preserved Assyrian site in Iraq".
Last week, IS released a video apparently showing militants with sledgehammers destroying historic artefacts in a museum in Mosul.
One militant was seen drilling through and pulling apart what appeared to be a stone winged bull.
In the video, the artefacts are described as "false idols" and their destruction justified in religious terms.
That attack was also condemned by the UN as a war crime.
IS has controlled Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, and nearby areas since June 2014 - a region with nearly 1,800 of the country's 12,000 registered archaeological sites.
Iraqi forces and Shia militia, have united to try to drive IS militants from the northern city of Tikrit, with the support of Iran.
The militants are also being targeted by a US-led coalition mounting air strikes.
On Friday, Iraqi forces were said to have cleared IS fighters from the town of al-Baghdadi, in the western Anbar province, with the support of US-led strikes.
The town, which was taken over by IS last month, is about 8km (5 miles) from an air base housing hundreds of US troops who are training Iraqi soldiers.

Te'o, 30, has won five caps as a replacement, but has been named at outside centre for the meeting with the Azzurri.
Danny Care partners George Ford at half-back, with Owen Farrell at inside centre and Elliot Daly on the wing.
"Ben Te'o at 13 gives us another way of playing the game," said head coach Eddie Jones.
"We are excited about seeing him, George Ford and Owen Farrell play together in the midfield."
Watch Eddie Jones answer your questions on Conte, player power and Buddhism.
Care last started for England in the Grand Slam showdown with France in Paris a year ago.
"Ben Youngs has been outstanding for us at number nine, but Danny Care gets the starting jersey this week," added Jones.
"For the first half he'll give us a lot of speed and running at the base of the ruck as well as the scrum. Ben will then come on and finish the game."
Elsewhere wing Jonny May and flanker James Haskell both return to the starting XV, as Jones makes four changes from the side that beat Wales.
Haskell came off the bench in the wins over France and Wales.

"Tom Wood has been great for us at seven, and Jack Clifford did well against Wales but James Haskell has the starting role on Sunday; he has come back to a much better level of fitness and we are sure his explosive actions will help us in the first part of the game," Jones continued.
Mako Vunipola has been included among the replacements after recovering from a knee injury, while Henry Slade is also included in the squad, with Anthony Watson missing out.
Farrell, 25, wins his 50th cap at Twickenham as England look to win their 16th straight game under Jones.
Meet the Six Nations 'hyenas'
"It is an important Test match for us and our only consideration is to play well. Italy have a proud record in Test rugby, they beat South Africa in November, and we will not underestimate them," said the Australian.
"I know the Twickenham crowd will give Owen Farrell a big cheer. To reach 50 caps at such a young age is a fine achievement. The one thing I know about Owen is that his next 50 are going to be more impressive than his first."
Analysis
BBC Radio 5 live rugby union reporter Chris Jones
Te'o has made an explosive impact off the bench in the first two Six Nations matches, and is rewarded with a place in the starting XV for the first time.
Normally an inside centre, Jones has surprisingly selected him in the number 13 shirt, and he will provide the ball-carrying power England have missed in the absence of Manu Tuilagi, and which the last coaching regime hoped would be provided by another cross-code convert, Sam Burgess.
There were suggestions Owen Farrell would move to fly-half on the occasion of his 50th cap, but Jones has persisted with the playmaking combination of George Ford and Farrell at 10 and 12.
England team to face Italy
Brown; May, Te'o, Farrell, Daly; Ford, Care; Marler, Hartley, Cole, Launchbury, Lawes, Itoje, Haskell, Hughes.

These are part of a package of pre-election promises by this government: none will become law before the country goes to the polls in May.
Annuities provide an income for the rest of your life, however long you live. After your death some annuities pay a smaller sum to your spouse or partner. These are often called "joint life" annuities.
The new proposal is that you will be able to cash in your annuity for either a single lump sum or a series of payments. This has obvious advantages. Pensioners can invest it in a different way in the hope of receiving a higher income, perhaps via a buy-to-let property. Or you could pay off your mortgage, reduce other debts, help children with university fees, or even go on holiday.

But cashing in an annuity may not be straightforward. How will the value of your annuity be calculated? Will it take into account your state of health, and how many more years you are likely to live? If you have a "joint life" annuity, will your spouse or partner have to consent to you cashing in the annuity?
Another issue is tax. The new rules will remove the penal 55% tax charge which applies now, but the cash you receive will still be taxable at your marginal rate.
If your annuity pays £50 a week, or around £2,000 a year at the moment, the £50 may not be taxed at all because it is within your tax-free personal allowance.
But a lump sum of, say, £30,000 would be taxed at 20%. As a result, you would receive £26,000, not £30,000. Depending on your circumstances, the lump sum could push you into the 40% or even the 45% tax rates, and may cause you to lose your personal allowance.
Another issue is whether the cash lump sum will block your access to certain state benefits.
The chancellor has promised that those thinking of cashing in their annuities will have access to advice. Factors that should be considered before deciding what to do include: the fees you will pay, the tax and benefit implications of the lump sum, and the drop in your income.
Currently, you can save up to £1.25m in a pension. If you save more than this, you are likely to pay tax on any excess at 55%.
The chancellor announced plans in the Budget that would see the lifetime allowance reduced to £1m from April 2016. If you already have more than £1m in your pension at this point, you will be able to "protect" an amount up to £1.25m. HM Revenue and Customs will set out the procedure for this in due course.
If you are in a final salary scheme, it is often difficult to understand how much your pension is worth. You should check this with the pension trustees before the new protection opportunity closes.
Once you have protected your pension fund, you must not make any further pension contributions, and neither must your employer. This needs care, especially for those in final salary schemes.
You can currently save up to £40,000 a year in a pension. This is straightforward for those with personal pensions or those known as "defined contribution schemes", where you and/or your employer pay cash into your pension pot.
It is more complicated for those in final salary schemes. If you have a pay rise, the amount of your pension will increase, because your future pension reflects your pay.
So a pay rise of £4,000 a year may translate into a £48,000 increase in the value of your pension. This is more than the annual allowance.
That is why the chancellor ruled out any further reductions in the allowance, saying it would involve "penalising moderately-paid, long-serving public servants, including police officers, teachers and nurses".
Pension tax relief cost £34.3bn last year. Although this will reduce by between £300m and £500m a year as a result of the proposed change to the annual allowance, further cuts are likely, whichever party wins the election.
Possible targets are the national insurance relief given to employers and employees who make contributions into employer schemes.
Another is the 25% tax-free lump sum available from your pension. Further reductions in the annual allowance and lifetime allowance are less likely, because of the impact on public sector workers in final salary schemes.
No-one really knows what will happen after the election, but pensions will continue to be complicated.
Hawkins was the only one of Britain's Olympic marathon trio to take part after brother Derek and Tsegai Tewelde pulled out in Amsterdam.
The 24-year-old younger Hawkins brother said: "I was feeling quite strong in the last six kilometres.
"But the middle part, I just wasn't feeling it."
Switzerland's Eritrea-born Tadesse Abraham took gold in one hour, two minutes and three seconds, with Hawkins finishing in 1:03:57.
"It started off a lot more aggressive than I thought," said the Scot.
"Normally, I like to come through, but I thought I'd try something different and try to put myself near a medal, but it didn't pay off."
Matt Bond was 42nd, with fellow Englishmen Lee Merrien and Jonny Hay 52nd and 77th.
Derek Hawkins did not take part because of injury, while Eritrea-born fellow Scot Tewelde pulled out overnight because of illness.
In the women's race, Gemma Steel was the first Briton home in 10th place in 1:12:19.
Compatriot Alyson Dixon was 13th, with fellow English competitors Lily Partridge 51st and Tina Muir 59th, while Charlotte Purdue did not finish.
Abdenasser El Khayati latched on to a neat Stuart Beavon cut-back to fire the hosts ahead before the break.
Beavon pounced to make it 2-0 after Ben Alnwick spilled a Mark Duffy shot, before Gabriel Zakuani was sent-off for a challenge on Timmy Thiele.
Marcus Maddison pulled one back from 30 yards while Jermaine Anderson had an injury-time equaliser ruled out.
Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told BBC Radio Derby:

"It was rubbish. The second half was even worse. We scored two good goals but I was not happy with how we played, was not happy with the performance, was not happy with the dynamics of the team.
"We became sloppy. We became not Burton Albion. We didn't play the game out as we can. We didn't look (like) a team and that's not what we are about.
"I'm happy with the points, don't get me wrong, but the result should have been so, so, so much better."
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel described the move as "a destabilising attempt to alter the status quo in the region".
And on Saturday, almost as if to underline the risks involved, the Japanese authorities say that they scrambled two F-15 fighters to intercept two Chinese surveillance planes that were approaching the islands.
China's more assertive policy and Japan's apparent willingness to push back against it raises the possibility of sparking a wider conflict, albeit by accident perhaps, rather than by design.
All of the necessary points of friction are there. Last January, Japan insisted that a Chinese frigate locked its targeting radar on to a Japanese warship near the disputed islands. China denied it.
In the year ending last March, Japan scrambled aircraft to intercept what it regards as Chinese intruders a record number of times. And both China and Japan have mounted exercises that encompass the seizure or the defence of remote islands.
Having sought to draw lines at sea, Beijing is now seeking to draw lines in the air.
The upshot could be greater instability, with the ever-present danger that an incident between warships or aircraft could precipitate a localised conflict between China and Japan.
The consequences of such an encounter risk an escalation that could ultimately draw in other powers.
While China is pursuing the rapid modernisation of its air and naval forces, in any localised conflict it might be at a disadvantage compared to the modern and probably more capable Japanese.
Q&A: China-Japan islands row
But drawing up a military balance between Japan and China is not really the issue here. The real question is how might such a crisis be managed? How might it be contained? Indeed is containment actually possible?
For there is a growing concern that the traditional tools of crisis management may be less useful than in the past.
Earlier this month a wargame was held at the US think tank, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, acting out just such a scenario involving China and Japan.
It focused on how the US might respond to such a crisis. As matters got increasingly fraught between China and Japan the players acting out the roles of senior US officials resisted the deployment of US military muscle for fear of worsening the drama.
But then the Chinese actors in the wargame escalated significantly. Long-range Chinese anti-shipping missile units were moved to high-alert. Forces were despatched towards the islands in contention. The US was forced to act; the recommendation was made to send two aircraft carrier strike groups to the East China Sea.
At this point the wargame apparently ended; the US having played its trump card, and with the heavyweights of US naval power on the way the assumption was that the crisis would die down.
But one US strategic expert who follows events in this region closely - Robert Haddick - has warned that such assumptions may be outdated.
In the past, he notes, the despatch of a US carrier battle group was seen as the escalatory trump card, because there was very little that potential adversaries could do against them.
However, China's growing area-denial or access-denial strategy seeks explicitly to put such US assets in jeopardy. Long-range anti-ship ballistic missiles are intended specifically to take out US carriers.
Escalating by despatching a carrier or two might in future not calm a crisis, warns Mr Haddick. It could actually encourage the Chinese to strike out against them.
The growing tensions between China and Japan are just one aspect of the wider strains in the region, which both Chinese and US strategy may actually be making worse.
One antidote is for better understanding between the US and Chinese militaries and there has been some recent progress here.
But in a broad sense the whole US strategic doctrine in the region - dubbed Air-Sea Battle - seems designed to contain China's rising military might, while China's area-denial strategy seems intent on hampering the ability of US air and naval forces to make significant interventions in waters that it regards as its strategic backyard.
This is why an unwanted Sino-Japanese clash puts so many experts' teeth on edge.
Backed by Iranian senior officers and skilled Hezbollah fighters, Mr Assad's forces have gained the upper hand and achieved significant gains in the north, south, Damascus suburbs and now the Aleppo area.
Aleppo, capital of the revolution as the rebels call it, is a strategic prize for the Damascus government.
Its potential encirclement by the Syrian army would deepen the humanitarian crisis and represent a shattering blow to the opposition.
The Syrian army and its allies are getting closer by the day to the Turkish border.
Their game plan is to seal the Turkish and Jordanian border and prevent men and materiel from reaching the rebels, thus effectively delivering a decisive blow.
Regardless of whether a ceasefire takes hold, any political settlement would reflect the current balance of power which favours Mr Assad.
Russia's agreement in Munich on Thursday to a temporary truce is predicated on a favourable configuration of forces inside Syria.
Freezing the battlefield lines would work in President Assad's favour.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also reckons that there are many armed factions among the opposition that would not abide by the ceasefire terms.
Far from the beginning of the end, the Syrian conflict has entered a new phase in which the Assad regime has momentum on the battlefield and the negotiating table.
In stark contrast, the opposition is politically and militarily disunited with limited options. There is a disconnect between the opposition's political aspirations and its physical capacity.
The challenge facing the opposition is to bridge this conceptual divide that undermines its negotiating strategy.
There are fundamental differences between Moscow and Washington regarding the future of Syria.
In contrast to the Western powers, Russia does not prioritise a radical restructuring of governance in Damascus and solidly backs President Assad.
It is also difficult to see an end to the regional wars by proxy that fuel the fires in Syria. The Saudi-Iranian rivalry is as fierce as ever and Turkey is heavily invested in trying to topple Assad and prevent the Kurds from gaining more influence and autonomy in neighbouring Syria.
More importantly, recent territorial gains by the Assad regime have complicated the quest for political transition in the war-torn country.
Mr Assad has few incentives to compromise, let alone agree to the opposition's expansive demands.
His strategic goal is to either secure a military solution or force the opposition to accept a settlement on his own terms.
Context matters. As the Syrian army advanced towards Aleppo a few days ago, US Secretary of State John Kerry was angry at the Russians for not agreeing to an immediate ceasefire and for enabling Assad to gain a strategic advantage over the rebels.
As they began their meeting in Munich, Mr Kerry and Mr Lavrov sang to different tunes.
While Mr Kerry said he planned to have a "serious conversation" with Mr Lavrov about the urgency to make progress on humanitarian access and a ceasefire, Mr Lavrov was non-committal and threw the ball back into the American court.
At the heart of the American-Russian divide on Syria lie not only clashing interests and worldviews but also different strategic priorities.
In contrast to the US, Russia has made a strategic investment in Syria and its military intervention on the side of Assad last September is a game-changer.
Vladimir Putin now exercises decisive influence in Syria, a powerful bargaining card with America.
Russia has already changed the priorities of UN-backed peace talks in Geneva away from the future of Mr Assad to a ceasefire and constitutional reforms.
Mr Putin's decision to intervene in Syria and shore up Mr Assad with new fighter jets, military advisers and advanced weapons stopped the bleeding of the Syrian army and allowed it to shift from defence to offence.
Russian airpower also restricts the ability of regional powers like Turkey to directly assist the rebels.
Notwithstanding the recent shift on the battlefield, it would be short-sighted and reckless for Mr Assad to declare victory as his Foreign Minister Walid Muallem and his top adviser Bouthaina Shaaban did in the past few days.
Time and again in the past five years, the Assad regime has been guilty of hubris, monstrous miscalculation and underestimation of the complexity of the struggle.
What Mr Assad does not grasp is that the very survival of Syria as a unified state and society is at stake.

Ex-Port Authority executive Bill Baroni was sentenced to two years for closing lanes on a busy New York City bridge.
Former Christie aide Bridget Kelly was handed a prison sentence of 18 months for her role in the 2013 scandal.
The traffic jam was arranged to target a local mayor who decided not to endorse Mr Christie's re-election bid.
Kelly and Baroni were convicted in November on counts including wire fraud, conspiracy and misusing the bridge for improper purposes.
On Wednesday, Baroni told the judge he regretted his actions and that he had "failed".
The fall and fall of Chris Christie
Chris Christie aides found guilty of 'Bridgegate' lane closures
"I regret more than anything that I allowed myself to get caught up in this and fail to help those who need it," Baroni said.
Baroni, 45, was the former deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees airports, tunnels and bridges in the New York area.
Christie aides initially tried to explain the four days of gridlock in September 2013 on the George Washington Bridge between New Jersey and New York City as a legitimate traffic study.
Both Kelly and Baroni testified in court that Mr Christie had known in advance about the lane closures on the country's busiest span.
Kelly, the governor's 44-year-old former chief of staff, provided one of the most damning pieces of evidence in an email she wrote saying: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
But Mr Christie denied any knowledge of the political plot and was not charged.
A third aide who has already pleaded guilty, David Wildstein, testified that Mr Christie had laughed about the traffic jam during a 9/11 memorial service two days after the lanes were blocked.
Baroni's defence lawyers argued that his long career in public service warranted leniency.
But Assistant US Attorney Lee Cortes said Baroni should have known better and alerted authorities to the plot instead of helping to cover it up.
US District Court Judge Susan Wigenton said Baroni deserved some prison time for what she called "an outrageous display of abuse of power".
Baroni will be allowed out on bail while he appeals his conviction.
He was also sentenced to 500 hours of community service.
The scandal was widely perceived to have contributed to Mr Christie's failure in his 2016 bid for the White House.
On the same day his aides were sentenced, Mr Christie was appointed by President Donald Trump to lead a federal task force on the opioid crisis in America.
When asked on Wednesday before the sentencing whether Baroni and Kelly should go to jail, Mr Christie said: "The judge will do what the judge believes is appropriate."
Archaeologists examining a site in Plumstead have been searching for the pathway, which ran along the same route of the new rail link in east London.
They have unearthed wooden stakes which they say may have been used in the construction of the transport link.
Crossrail archaeologist Jay Carver said it was a "very significant find".
The dig team say the two wooden stakes found in Plumstead appear to have cuts made by a metal axe.

Mr Carver said: "We know from other sites nearby that this area was probably crisscrossed by a network of pathways.
"As excavation works for the Plumstead tunnel portal got under way our archaeologists uncovered several wooden stakes and at least two that appear to have cut marks from a metal axe.
"Although we haven't identified an actual trackway yet, the timbers are similar to those used to make the trackways and certainly show that people were in the area exploiting the woodland."
Excavation at the Plumstead tunnel entrance began last month and results of analysis carried out on items found there recently confirmed they were made by humans, a Crossrail spokeswoman said.
"From the geology in the location they were found we know it was Bronze Age construction," she added.
Tunnelling is due to begin at the Plumstead site early next year. Boring machines will dig twin 1.6-mile (2.6km) tunnels under the River Thames.
Once complete, the rail line will run from Abbey Wood in south-east London to Heathrow and Maidenhead, Berkshire, in the west.
The Crossrail archaeologists say the large network of timber pathways gave Bronze Age hunters easier access to the wildlife living on the area's lush wetlands.
A month-long exhibition of artefacts found during archaeology digs at Crossrail work sites across London opened on Friday.
Among the exhibits at Crossrail's visitor information centre in St Giles High Street are medieval human bones found at Liverpool Street, a rare amber find and a piece of mammoth jaw bone.
The latest finds are undergoing analysis by the Museum of London Archaeology and will not be on show.
Organisers said the Oscar-winner would be honoured for her 40-year career as an actress, director and film producer.
"Her ambition, exuberance and grace have helped pave the way for budding artists in this business," said the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
She will be presented with the award at a ceremony on 13 January.
"Jodie is a multifaceted woman that has achieved immeasurable amounts of success and will continue to do so in her career," HFPA president Aida Takla-O'Reilly said in a statement.
"She's truly one of a kind."
Foster, 49, began her career in television commercials at the age of three and by the age of 10, had appeared in a string of TV shows.
She found international fame in 1976 for her Oscar-nominated performance as teenage prostitute Iris in Taxi Driver, and roles as Tallulah in Bugsy Malone and the lead in Freaky Friday.
She has since appeared in more than 40 movies, winning best actress Oscars for her role as a rape victim in 1988 film The Accused and as the FBI agent Clarice Starling in 1991's The Silence of The Lambs.
The actress also branched out into directing, with projects including Little Man Tate in 1991 and last year's The Beaver, starring Mel Gibson.
She also produces for both film and television through her production company, Egg Pictures.

Samuel Noel Savage, 60, of Kincora Mews - who uses a wheelchair - was handed a two-year sentence on two charges.
Savage admitted entering into an arrangement to acquire criminal property, and converting criminal property.
His wife, Dolores Savage, was jailed earlier this year for her role in the fraud.
'No credible explanation'
The judge told Belfast Crown Court that none of the £1,044,000 stolen from medical equipment supplies company Arjo Huntleigh had been repaid.
He said there had been "no credible explanation whatsoever" given by Savage as to how the money was spent, apart from a claim it was used to clear household bills.
Savage was told he would spend a year in prison, followed by an additional year spent on supervised licence upon his release.
A previous court hearing was told that over a seven-year period from June 2006 to December 2013, Savage lodged hundreds of cheques into an account controlled by him which his wife Dolores stole from her employers.
Abuse of position
In total, 808 separate transactions were made.
Earlier this year, Dolores Savage, 59, also from Kincora Mews, pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position, and obtaining money transfers by deception.
She, too, is to serve a year in prison followed by a year on licence.
Dolores Savage carried out the fraud by making invoices identical to the ones on the company's computer system for a supplier.
The offending occurred when she worked in the accounts department of the firm's Belfast branch.
The court heard that the "prinicpal beneficiary of the dishonest conduct" was a company called Savnac, which was owned by the couple.
Prior to sentence being passed, the judge said he accepted that Samuel Savage suffered a number of serious and debilitating illnesses, and that he required the use of a wheelchair.
The MoD said the training, which takes place twice a year in Denmark, gave surgeons "invaluable experience" and "helped save lives on operations".
Animal rights group Peta called for an end to the "barbaric" exercise, saying surgeons could use human simulators.
It could not be justified "medically, ethically and educationally", it said.
RSPCA spokesperson Klare Kennett said: "The practice of shooting and injuring pigs for Army surgeons to practice their skills on is abhorrent and shocking.
"Pigs are intelligent animals and most people would be appalled by this, especially as there is an alternative available which does not involve harming any animals."
The UK government suspended the training courses in the summer of 1998 after they were brought to the attention of ministers who said they had not been aware of them.
The courses were reinstated after a government-commissioned study found that "no equally effective alternative" could be identified and that it was "entirely appropriate and, indeed, necessary" for military surgeons to go through the training.
During training courses, the animals are heavily anaesthetised - both before being shot and throughout exercises - and are attended at all times by veterinary staff.
The MoD says they are later killed humanely.
The department was responding to a report in the Mail on Sunday which said British surgeons treated 18 pigs that had been shot at a three-day training course earlier this month in Jaegerspris.
The pigs were tranquilised and shot at close range "to damage organs but not kill the animals", the paper said.
Peta says that "life-like human simulators that 'breathe' and 'bleed' in realistic battlefield scenarios have been shown to better prepare doctors and medics to treat injured humans than animal laboratories".
Peta's UK associate director Mimi Bekhechi said "the overwhelming majority of the UK's Nato allies do not shoot, stab and dismember animals for their military training exercises".
She condemned the MoD's decision "to ship out members of the armed forces for deadly and cruel exercises in Denmark", saying they would be illegal if conducted in the UK.
The MoD says that, while it would not be illegal to carry out similar training in the UK, the Home Office would have to give its approval on a case-by-case basis.
"This training provides invaluable experience, exposing our surgical teams to the specific challenges posed by the injuries of modern armed conflict," a spokesperson said.
"This training has helped save lives on operations and by participating in the Danish exercises we minimise the overall number of animals used."
The BBC has learned negotiations between the partnership building it and the owners of the access land, the Whitehaven Miners Social Welfare Club, have stalled.
Disagreements over the lease are said to be to blame for the problems.
No-one from The Miners Welfare Club has been available for comment.
The partnership behind the £5.5m development includes Copeland Borough Council and Whitehaven Rugby League Club.
Problems agreeing the fee that would be paid to use the land almost led to the plan collapsing in March.
A deal was later struck, although no details of the amount were released.
The stadium is key to Whitehaven's part in the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.
Two games are due to be played at the new Pow Beck stadium and the Scotland team would be based in the town.
However, there are fears if an agreement between both sides is not reached quickly then the stadium would not be built in time, leading to Whitehaven missing out on the tournament and the resultant boost to its local economy.
No-one was available at the Whitehaven Miners Social Welfare for comment but in the past the club has said it does not want the stadium delayed.
Copeland Council confirmed negotiations were still ongoing but would make no further comment.

330 of them were found hidden in suitcases after they were smuggled into Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia.
Wildlife officials believe they were going to be illegally sold.
The golden-domed ploughshare tortoise is native to Madagascar and, due to poaching, is the most endangered tortoise on the planet.
Madagascar's radiated tortoise is also nearing extinction due to hunting for food and to be kept as a pet - both of which are against the law.
All of the reptiles were found alive, and will now be returned to their home on Madagascar.
Another argued for not paying the legal minimum, saying that a member of staff "wasn't a good worker", while one said employees should "prove their worth".
The excuses, heard by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), were published as part of a government awareness campaign.
It is encouraging people to check their wages and warning employers of fines.
Business Minister Margot James said: "There are no excuses for underpaying staff what they are legally entitled to.
"This campaign will raise awareness among the lowest paid in society about what they must legally receive and I would encourage anyone who thinks they may be paid less to contact Acas as soon as possible."
All workers must be paid at least £7.20 an hour if they are aged 25 and over, in order to comply with the National Living Wage.
The National Minimum Wage means that:
Among the cases investigated by HMRC was a boss who thought it was acceptable to pay foreign staff below the statutory rate.
It also heard from one employer who said: "She doesn't deserve the national minimum wage because she only makes the teas and sweeps the floors."
Another said: "My accountant and I speak a different language - he doesn't understand me and that's why he doesn't pay my workers the correct wages."
Len McCluskey, general secretary of the Unite union, said: "Too often, companies are skimming their profits out of the pockets of their workforce. It is a continuing reminder that, for too many working people, work in this country just does not pay.
"While it is good to see the rogues being held to account in some way, the fines can only ever be a rap on the knuckles."
Stewart Gee, of the conciliation service Acas, said: "We welcome this new government awareness campaign, as there are no good excuses for not paying staff what they are legally entitled to.
"Employers are breaking the law if they do not pay the national minimum wage and businesses face a maximum fine of £20,000 per worker for not paying the national living wage. Failure to pay the national living wage could also result in a company director being banned for up to 15 years."
The ruling New Azerbaijan party had won at least 70 seats in the 125-seat parliament, the commission said.
A host of small parties and candidates loyal to President Ilham Aliyev took almost all the rest.
The opposition has accused the government of jailing its opponents.
International monitors from the OSCE did not observe the vote, citing government restrictions.
More than a dozen political parties were vying for 125 seats in Azerbaijan's National Assembly.
But analysts say those that could be considered genuine in their opposition to the government refused to participate.
"The pre-election period was marred by massive violations. That's why we decided not to participate," opposition Musavat Party leader Arif Gajily told Reuters news agency.
Sunday's vote serves as a reminder of the oppressive political environment inside the oil-rich nation.
In the past two years the Azeri authorities have jailed almost all critical voices, among them journalists, civil society activists, and human rights lawyers.
The government has also become increasingly intolerant of international criticism.
It denied the existence of any political prisoners, and it frequently describes negative publicity as a Western agenda to discredit Azerbaijan.
The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the leading international monitoring group, has not considered any of Azerbaijan's elections since independence to be free and fair.
This year - for the first time in more than two decades - it chose not to send a mission, condemning the Azerbaijani government's "crackdown on independent and critical voices".
The Edinburgh-based company said pre-tax profits for 2016 rose year-on-year by £1.6m to £19.8m. Underlying pre-tax profits were up 30% at £49.7m.
Turnover climbed from just under £2bn to more than £2.07bn.
John Menzies described it as a "transformational" year for the group.
Its aviation business saw underlying operating profit rise by £11.1m to £34.2m. Ground handling volume grew by 5%, driven by contract wins in Europe and North America.
However, cargo handling volumes were down in absolute terms by 7%, which the group attributed in part to high volumes in North America in the previous year.
Menzies recently completed the acquisition of plane refuelling business Asig, which has doubled the size of its North American operations.
It said it was now focusing its efforts on integrating the businesses before looking "to take advantage of the exciting opportunities that the combined platform gives us".
The group's distribution division performed broadly in line with the previous year despite increased cost pressures, the company said.
Underlying operating profit for the division was £24.7m, compared with £25.1m in 2015.
The company said trading benefited from strong football-related sticker sales and cost reduction measures.
It added: "Our strategy to diversify into new market segments, reducing our reliance on newspapers and magazines, continues to make progress with an acquisition within Menzies Parcels and new contracts delivered in the retail logistics sector."
Menzies, which came under pressure from an investor last year to split up the two divisions, said it continued to work on a review of the group's structure.
It hopes to update shareholders on the outcome of the review when its interim results are released in August.
Since the inaugural event last year, the governor of Oregon has formally declared Saturday 9 August Boring and Dull Day across the entire state.
Boring is not the most exciting place in the world.
It's small town America. A farming community with an easy commute to the nearby city of Portland.
It's named after its founder, William H Boring, who began farming in the area in the 1870s.
His great grandson, Bob Boring, still lives locally and insists the town is more lively than its name suggests.
"Dad used to say it was a name, not a condition and it pretty much is" he said.
"There's always something going on around here".
Boring's unofficial mayor, Steve Bates, cannot recall the most exciting thing to happen in the town.
When pressed to think of something, the former fire engine salesman joked:"Every once in a while we have an accident out here on the highway."
For those who don't want to sit around waiting for someone to prang their car, there are other possible ways to pass the time.
You can sample a Boring beer in the Boring pub, hunt for a bargain in the Boring antiques shop or have a picture taken next to the new Boring road sign, celebrating the town's links with Dull.
"We actually hope to make this sign a tourist spot," said Mr Bates.
The potential for a tourism boost has attracted official support for Boring and Dull's pairing from the Oregon state legislature.
The Boring politician who persuaded the house to declare August the 9th as Boring and Dull Day is representative Bill Kennemer.
"People are starting to hear about Boring and they come and stop" he said.
"Before it was kind of a small wayside on the way somewhere else. And now it's a place as you're out and about to stop and visit".
The town is celebrating its new found fame with its second annual ice cream social in the park on Saturday.
"It'll be a time for our community to get together," said Steve Bates.
"We'll start off with bagpipes and then we'll also do some traditional American folk singing.
"And then we'll have a band to finish out the evening".
He insisted that the event would not be too exciting.
"Eh, no," he said. "Last year we did have lightning and thunder that sort of cut the party a little bit short.
"But hopefully this year we'll be able to have the event last the full five hours that we have planned".
Boring is proud of its link with Dull, which was the brainchild of Perthshire resident Elizabeth Leighton who passed through Boring on a cycling holiday in 2012.
Dull celebrates the relationship in October, and was first to put up a commemorative road sign.
"Dull has helped put Boring on our map and I suspect maybe in certain ways we've helped put Dull on some other maps too," said Mr Kennemer.
You could say the pairing has made Boring a bit more interesting.
So much so, the town is now developing a new relationship the Australian community of Bland.
The loss ended a run of 11 league games unbeaten for Rotherham, who secured Championship safety seven days earlier.
Shane Duffy headed Rovers' winner from Matt Grimes' corner, while Millers keeper Lee Camp denied Danny Graham, Elliott Bennett and Jordi Gomez twice.
Ex-Blackburn striker Leon Best missed the hosts' best chance before half-time, heading wide from close range.
Rovers confirmed Lambert's impending departure on Thursday, with the Scot having only taken charge at Ewood Park in November.
As for Rotherham's managerial situation, Neil Warnock is still to commit his future to the Millers beyond the summer, although chairman Tony Stewart says there is a "strong chance" that the 67-year-old will remain at the club next season.
Rotherham manager Neil Warnock: "I don't think we were prepared. The goal comes and he didn't have to jump for the header. It was a Sunday League goal and I was disappointed in that.
"We lost the game but I can't fault the lads. They have been remarkable but everybody has played their part from the chairman down to the tea lady.
"People have seen magical moments that they will remember for the rest of their lives in this run. We're limited but they have listened to what we've wanted and done their best."
Blackburn manager Paul Lambert: "I thought we deserved to win the game. Lee Camp kept them well in the game but I thought we were brilliant from start to finish.
"We came to play a team who have been playing really well and thought we were outstanding.
"I don't think there is much in the Championship. It doesn't matter if you're on a 20-game winning streak - somebody can come and beat you."
The 52-year-old, from Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire, seemed to be fit and healthy all her life and took part in numerous sports, including squash and running.
Ms Macfarlane was diagnosed last year with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, (HCM), which is an inherited condition.
Her diagnosis came almost 20 years after a brief episode of irregular heart rhythm in her 30s, the cause of which was not found.
"In hindsight it absolutely frightened me that I had run and played squash and I had this time-bomb inside me," she told BBC Scotland.
According to new research from the British Heart Foundation, more than 50,000 Scots are thought to be carrying a faulty gene that puts them at high risk of heart disease.
The majority of those affected are undiagnosed and unaware that they may be at risk of a sudden heart attack.
Each week in the UK about 12 seemingly healthy people aged 35 or under are victims of sudden cardiac death with no explanation.
Ms Macfarlane says she had first noticed irregular heart beats and palpitations when she was in her 30s but nothing was found.
"Then in my mid-40s I started getting more severe palpitations, light-headedness and I passed out a couple of times," she says.
"I was referred back to the cardiology department at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, who did various tests and echo scans, ultrasounds, a treadmill test and they could not find anything at all.
"There was certainly nothing lifestyle related like blocked arteries or anything so it was a bit of a mystery."
Ms Macfarlane says she was "starting to feel like I was some kind of hypochondriac" but doctors persevered with their tests.
Eventually she was fitted with a reveal monitor, which was implanted into her body for two years.
"For 18 months it didn't pick up anything," she says.
"Then in the last six months it picked up what's called tachycardia, which is a very fast heart beat.
"They were able to analyse this and see that it was something a bit sinister."
Another episode of fainting last June led to an MRI scan which showed that the wall of her left ventricle, which is the lower chamber of the heart, was thickened.
That suggested the possibility of an inherited heart condition.
She was sent for a gene test which gave the positive result.
Ms Macfarlane says that her father had died of a heart condition but doctors could not tell from his notes whether he had carried the faulty gene.
They also tested Ms MacFarlane's son and her brother to see if they had the gene. Both tested negative.
As a result of her diagnosis, Ms Macfarlane was fitted with a cardiac defibrillator.
She says: "That gave me a complete new lease of life because I had lost all my confidence, knowing that I had the condition that could possibly lead to sudden cardiac death.
"The cardiac defibrillator constantly monitors my heart and if the rhythm goes off or my heart stops for any reason it will kick in and I am extremely lucky to have that."
Polling stations opened at 07:00 and will remain open until 22:00 on Thursday. Counting will begin when polls close.
More than four million people are registered to vote in Scotland, almost 94% of the adult population.
The first results from the 59 Scottish constituencies will be declared during the early hours of Friday morning.
Strict rules mean the BBC - in common with other broadcasters - is not allowed to report details of campaigning until after the polls close.
There are more than 5,000 polling places in Scotland with schools, village halls and community centres transformed for the day to allow people to cast their votes.
Figures from the National Records of Scotland showed that by 2 March a total of 4.04 million people in Scotland had registered to vote.
Fine weather is forecast across the country, although voting experts say there is no evidence to suggest this will boost turnout.
The Electoral Commission in Scotland has urged people not to panic if they cannot find their polling cards, as they will still be able to vote if they are registered.
A spokeswoman said anyone who does not know the location of their polling station should contact their local electoral registration office.
BBC Scotland will be delivering extensive coverage of the election results across online, TV and radio.
It will report live from Scotland's 32 counting centres after polls close.
There will then be analysis, background, reaction and debate as we find out the results from each of Scotland's constituencies.
Headlines from a UK-wide exit poll will be projected onto the exterior of BBC Scotland's studios at Pacific Quay.
And the results of the ballot will also appear on the side of the building, which sits on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow. | Former Grand Slam tennis star Bob Hewitt has been jailed for six years by a South African court for raping underage girls.

Voting has begun in the UK general election, with 59 Scottish seats up for grabs. | 32,782,677 | 15,425 | 992 | true |
Excluding petrol, sales rose 0.2% in March, against a 0.6% rise in February, which has been revised down from an initial estimated of 0.7%,
For the first three months of 2015, sales rose 0.9%, down from 2.2% in the first quarter of 2014.
The figures show consumers are still cautious about spending, analysts said.
Keith Richardson, managing director for retail at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, said: "Even with continued falls in fuel and food prices, consumers are responding to this current period of uncertainty by being just as careful about their own spending as they have been for the past few years.
"Despite the fact that Mother's Day fell in March and Easter fell early in April, this wasn't enough to bring forward any boost in spending into March, doing nothing to allay fears that while consumers may have a little more money in their pockets, they are spending it on leisure treats like eating out and going on holiday, rather than on High Street goods," he said.
UK economic growth figures for the first three months of 2015 are due to be published next week. Economists said the retail data could herald slower growth.
Alan Clarke, at Scotiabank, said: "The monthly data all point towards sluggish Q1 GDP next Tuesday, not the sort of reading that the coalition government will be hoping for."
But Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said that although the retail data was "disappointing", wage growth and low inflation should bolster consumer spending over the coming months.
"Despite March's weaker-than-expected performance, the prospects for retail sales and consumer spending look bright, as purchasing power has strengthened and should continue to do so," Mr Archer said.

About 50 people took part in the march through Queen Street, which was organised by Bring Back Our Girls Cymru-Wales.
Militant Islamist group Boko Haram claims responsibility for taking the girls from their boarding school in April.
The Nigerian Welsh Association also plans a march on Thursday.
Sunday's rally hoped to "gather support and pressurise governments into action".
The girls were seized from their school at night in Chibok on 14 April.
Boko Haram has said the girls should not have been in school and should get married instead. It has threatened to sell the students.
The group, whose name means "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language, began its insurgency in Borno state in 2009.
The kidnappings have been condemned around the world.
A social media campaign, Bring Back Our Girls, has been launched in the UK, while on Saturday, US First Lady Michelle Obama said she and president Barack Obama were "outraged and heartbroken" by the kidnappings.
Experts from the US and UK, including military advisers, negotiators and counsellors, arrived in Nigeria on Friday to help find the girls.
On Thursday, the Nigerian Welsh Association plans to march from the centre of Cardiff to the Senedd building.
Spokesman Kolawole Ponnle said the kidnappings were a "chilling situation".
He added: "What we want to do here is not just keep quiet, because Nigerians are married into the Welsh community and we have children growing up in Wales, and trying to have an identity as well back home."
He said he wanted the protest to be "heard around the world".
Neysun Rouhani and his wife live in the UK. He's a concert pianist and piano teacher who travels to the US often, both for work and to visit family.
But once changes to the US visa waiver programme are implemented in 2016, he will be required to apply for a visa with an in-person interview at the US embassy in London.
"It makes my life more difficult. Right now I'm not sure the trip we have planned since five months ago will happen or not in January," he says.
The US Congress has passed a measure as part of a budget bill that will no longer allow citizens of 38 countries - including the UK - who have either travelled to Iraq, Syria, Iran or Sudan in the past five years or are dual nationals of these states, to travel to the US without a visa.
The president signed the bill into law on Friday.
Rouhani, a dual citizen of the UK and Iran, will be affected. As a British citizen he could be eligible for a 10-year, multiple-entry visas for business and tourism - but not to perform. That, as before, requires a separate permit.
The move has angered European diplomats.
"If you're a terrorist, you don't have a great big Syria stamp in your passport - you have Turkey, for example. It's not going to catch the people who don't travel legitimately, it's going to target the people who do travel legitimately," an EU official told the BBC.
All European Union ambassadors of member states recently published an editorial arguing against the changes - an unprecedented occasion to see a unanimous agreement among all the representatives of the union, the official said.
The new legislation comes on the heels of the terrorist attacks in Paris last month that sparked fears of a similar act being carried out on American soil. This prompted lawmakers to take a look at tightening the borders, igniting national debate about refugees.
"If a terrorist has been to Iraq and Syria and wants to get to the US, they will likely go through Europe. That's the problem," said one congressional aide to the BBC. "Europe doesn't have a threat of foreign fighters coming from our country."
The legislation gained even more support after December 2, when a radicalised married couple - Tafsheen Malik and Syed Rizwan Farook - killed 14 and wounded 22 in San Bernardino, California.
Farook was a US citizen raised by Pakistani immigrant parents. He travelled to Saudi Arabia to meet his future wife, Malik, who grew up in Pakistan, in 2013. She was granted a K1 fiancee visa by the US Embassy in Pakistan after clearing a background check.
Though neither of the killers was a dual citizen, the attack led to renewed fears about the visa process. Modifications to the visa waiver bill in the House were added at the last minute to include not just people who had travelled to Iraq and Syria but also dual citizens and people who had visited countries that are US-designated state sponsors of terrorism - including Sudan and Iran.
Iranians living in the US say they are outraged that Iran is included on the list of barred countries, but countries where the San Bernardino attackers were born or travelled to are not.
"If the intent truly is to protect America from Isis and not target Iran and the nuclear deal, then why is Iran included but travel to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is not? This makes no sense," says Trita Parsi of the National Iranian American Council, who has been leading the effort on Capitol Hill to fight this change.
Should the EU invoke reciprocity when their policy is reviewed in the spring, this could mean the same requirements for Iranian-Americans hoping to visit their families abroad.
Critics say the new rule will keep families apart.
"This legislation was ill conceived and targets ordinary people," says Navid Sadoughi, one of the members a Facebook group meant to spread awareness and rally against the bill. The page gained 70,000 members in its first three days.
A swath of this Iranian diaspora includes people who have citizenship to Iran but have not returned since the Islamic Revolution. Many say the process of actually renouncing citizenship and giving up a passport is quite complicated.
It is unclear how the new visa waiver programme changes will be implemented, a process which is led by the US Department of Homeland Security.
"We'll look at how the administration is going to implement this. There's always a bit of leeway, room for common sense," says one EU official.
But for those with dual passports, the message is discouraging. Amirali Pour Deihimi, an Australian architect who works on sustainable design, says the rule could keep him from attending conferences and seminars in the US.
"With global warming, we need to bring the world together, not separate it," he says.
He's visited the US in the past, but says he can't see making the effort in the future.

Darren Rodgers from Ballymena, County Antrim, fell from a height onto a rocky beach just hours after watching Northern Ireland's opening game.
BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports from Nice.
The British Transport Police were called out to the incident at about 03:00 on Thursday.
Officers met the train in Carlisle and arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of fire raising and theft.
The BTP said he was being transferred back to a base in Scotland to be dealt with under Scots Law.
London-based officers met the train when it arrived at Euston railway station at about 09:00 in order to make further inquiries with passengers and staff.
A spokesman said discussions were "at a very early stage" and there was no certainty a deal would take place.
The Wall Street Journal, where it was first reported, said the Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT) was discussing an offer with private equity firms.
Yahoo is under pressure from shareholders to turn itself around.
The activist hedge fund investor Starboard Value recently called for the replacement of the entire board at the loss-making company.
The spokesman for Daily Mail said: "Given the success of DailyMail.com and Elite Daily we have been in discussions with a number of parties who are potential bidders.
"Discussions are at a very early stage and there is no certainty that any transaction will take place."
DMGT shares were flat in early trading at 695p after initially falling 0.4%. The company is valued at £2.34bn.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said that the potential bid could take two forms.
In one scenario, a private-equity partner would acquire Yahoo's core web business with the Mail taking over the news and media properties.
In another scenario, the private-equity firm would acquire Yahoo's core web business and merge its media and news properties with the Mail's online operations.
Yahoo has set a deadline for 18 April for interested parties to submit their offers.
Time Inc is also reported to be weighing a bid together with a private equity firm.
Earlier this year, Yahoo said it would cut 15% of its workforce as part of chief executive Marissa Mayer's "aggressive" plan to return the company to profit.
Richard Dunbar, of Aberdeen Asset Management, told the BBC: "[Yahoo] has struggled against Facebook and Google. Its sales have halved over the past 10 years. In contrast Mail Online has been unbelievably successful - the most visited English language news website in the world.
"It will be interesting to see whether the terms of this deal are acceptable to what have been long suffering shareholders at Yahoo."
Yahoo's shares have fallen by about 30% since the end of 2014.
Infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria and sleeping sickness kill millions each year.
Dundee University's Drug Discovery Unit hope the new facility will speed up the rate at which new drugs are developed.
The £6.5m funding for the project comes from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust.
The university said that while significant efforts were being made in early stage drug discovery, there was a bottleneck when it came to the lead optimisation stage of molecules targeting these so called "neglected" diseases.
Lead optimisation is a key stage in the drug discovery process, where early leads are improved through cycles of design, synthesis and testing to identify potential drugs which are suitable for testing in a clinical setting.
It is a labour intensive process requiring significant laboratory resource over a number of years, limiting drug companies' willingness to invest.
Prof Wyatt, from the Drug Discovery Unit said: "One of the main aims of the Drug Discovery Unit is to make inroads into developing drugs for diseases that affected the developing world. We have the capability through the DDU to help break the bottleneck which occurs at a key stage of the drug discovery process."
The initial research will focus on tuberculosis, the world's second-leading infectious killer, which disproportionately affects developing countries.
In 2010, it caused 1.4m deaths, 8.8 million new infections and 450 thousand drug-resistant TB cases.
Dr Richard Seabrook, head of business development at the Wellcome Trust, said: "We are pleased to be co-funding with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on this exciting UK project, bringing together internationally renowned experts in the biology of infectious diseases with a first-class drug discovery unit to tackle some of the world's most profound medical needs."
The rate as measured by the Consumer Prices Index rose to 0.2%, from November's 0.1%, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
It is the first time in a year that the rate has exceeded 0.1%, and the rise is higher than economists had expected.
Air fares jumped 46% in December, the biggest rise for 13 years.
December typically sees a high monthly increase in air fares, due to the Christmas holidays, but the ONS said this jump was the highest since 2002.
But it warned that air prices were "highly variable" and said a November-to-December increase of more than 40% was not unusual.
Petrol prices, while lower than November, fell less than in the same period last year, so they also contributed to the rise in inflation, the ONS said.
This jump in transport costs was partially offset by a drop in alcohol, tobacco and food costs.
The Retail Prices Index, a separate measure that includes housing costs, grew by 1.2%, up from 1.1% in November.
Monthly inflation has been between -0.1% and 0.1% for the past 11 months, with low oil prices and a fiercely competitive environment for supermarkets keeping prices down for consumers.
For 2015 as a whole, consumer price inflation averaged 0%, its lowest level since comparable records began in 1950.
Latest minutes from the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), which voted 8-1 to keep rates at their current historic 0.5% low, showed that members expect inflation to remain far below its 2% target for some time yet.
December's inflation figures will further dampen expectations of a rise in interest rates any time soon.
Most economists now believe that it could be the third quarter of this year, or even 2017, before there is any movement in interest rates.
"There aren't yet any signs which will worry the MPC. Inflation looks set to rise further over the coming months as sharp falls in petrol and food prices at the beginning of 2015 drop out of the calculation," said Scott Bowman, UK economist at Capital Economics.
"The MPC will be in no rush to push through the first rate hike."
Ben Brettell, senior economist at Hargreaves Lansdown, agreed, saying: "This continues the trend of inflation being at or very close to zero and places little pressure on the Bank of England to lift interest rates. Those hoping for higher rates on this side of the Atlantic shouldn't hold their breath."

Back in December, McLaren chairman Ron Dennis talked about wanting to repeat the success of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the team won the drivers' and constructors' titles for four successive years from 1988.
But there is no comparison between the new McLaren-Honda and the old one.
When the two joined forces in 1988, Honda's turbo had been established as the best engine in F1 for at least two years and had been racing for five. The 2015 Honda turbo engine - with the hybrid technology now part of F1 - raced for the first time on Sunday.
The McLaren-Honda was the slowest car in Australia by a massive margin.
Button and team-mate Kevin Magnussen were 1.5 seconds away from getting out of the first knockout stage of qualifying.
On paper, they were 2.9secs slower than Mercedes in that session. But given the world champions were on the slower tyre, a further second can be added to that gap.

That's without considering the extra power Mercedes would gain from turning up their engine progressively for the next two parts of qualifying.
Three seconds off the pace each lap is bad enough, but five is close to catastrophic. And it raises the very real question of whether McLaren-Honda can ever close that gap.
Even McLaren racing director Eric Boullier admitted that "it may take more than a couple of years to catch up".
So what has gone wrong and can it be fixed?
The main reason is the engine. It only takes a glance at the speed trap figures to see that. McLaren are right at the bottom and were a massive 14-15km/h slower than the pace-setting, Mercedes-powered Williams.
Button was 15.5km/h slower than the Williams of Felipe Massa at the start-finish line, but only 14.8km/h down at the speed trap situated before the braking zone at the end of the straight.
This strongly suggests that the hybrid part of the engine is where the major problem lies, for it is with punch out of corners that the electrical energy plays the biggest part in performance.
The hybrid part of an F1 engine - recovering energy from both the rear axle (the MGU-K) and turbo (the MGU-H) - can account for anything between 160-200bhp, depending on how effective the technology is at recovering energy from the turbo, which is unlimited.

F1 engineers have a formula for working out what a lap-time deficit is equivalent to in terms of horsepower. This is, on average, 0.016secs per bhp.
So 2.9secs down is equivalent to 181bhp; 3.9secs is 244bhp; 5secs is 312bhp.
Now, not all the McLaren-Honda's deficit to the Mercedes will be down to the engine, so somewhere in amongst those numbers is how far the Honda is down on the Mercedes engine.
The real number is said to be at least 200bhp - equivalent, in effect if not in reality, to the whole hybrid part of the engine simply not working, and then some.
An ineffective hybrid system also requires the internal combustion element of the engine to be turned down, otherwise it would use too much fuel, as there is less power available from electrical energy.
Honda's main problem is that the engine is too unreliable to run at full power - and in Australia it had to be turned down even further than planned because the company did not have enough confidence in its ability to sustain the higher temperatures than were seen in pre-season testing in a southern European winter.
Describing the engine settings as "very conservative", Honda F1 boss Yasuhisa Arai said: "Unfortunately we don't have the experience of higher temperatures so we could not risk losing the engine in the first race."
Both the MGU-K and the engine itself were reduced in output, he said.
Despite that, Kevin Magnussen's engine did fail on the way to the grid. Honda say they do not yet know whether that engine, which comes out of Fernando Alonso's allocation of four for the season, is a write-off.
How much more power the engine will have once Honda becomes more confident in its reliability is not known.
The indications are that Honda know what the problems are, but the team refuse to put a timetable on how long they will take to fix.
In its quest to improve performance, Honda has the added benefit that, although engine development is restricted, manufacturers have freedom to change parts beyond the limits set by the rules if it is for reliability purposes. So there is room for manoeuvre.
It has occurred to many that the shrink-wrapped, tightly designed rear end of the McLaren - what they call their "size-zero car" - might be an influencing factor in the reliability issues Honda is suffering. But the team insist that is not the case.
Even if the engine is something over 200bhp down on the Mercedes, that still leaves a deficit of anywhere between a second and a second and a half in the car.
The McLaren drivers have been complimentary about the way the car behaves so far, and Button said the car was "about equal" to the Red Bull and Sauber in the corners.
But that's not exactly encouraging - one is, well, a Sauber; and Red Bull have massive problems with the driveability of the Renault engine, which is badly holding back its cornering performance.
However, Button, team-mate Kevin Magnussen and racing director Eric Boullier are confident the MP4-30 provides a good base for development.
Its design marks a philosophical shift for McLaren. For years, the team have chased peak downforce, with the result that the car is unpredictable and difficult to drive in corners because the downforce levels were inconsistent.
Aerodynamic design in F1 cars is a compromise. The more downforce a team chases from, say, a front wing, the more likely that part is to 'stall' - suddenly lose downforce because the airflow is disrupted. This is called "peaky" downforce and is what was happening to McLarens in the last few years.
Now, they have changed to a more Red Bull-style of philosophy, of aiming for more consistent, stable aerodynamics, which allow the driver to have more confidence, and therefore push harder.
"Last year," Button says, "the car had a lot of downforce initially when you hit the brakes but it was very on the nose on turn-in, and when you turned in you lost all front end at apex, whereas this year it does what you hope it will do, so you can be precise.
"It is a good start. We don't have enough downforce to fight with the Mercedes [if we had the same power], for example, or even a couple of other teams. But the basic philosophy is definitely right. I have not driven a McLaren like this before, not in the way it works.
"I'm not saying it's the quickest McLaren I've ever driven, because it's not. But in the way it works the basic car is very good so it means you can build on it.
"The airflow is very clean so you can just add downforce whereas before you added downforce and it would change the characteristics of the car. But it still needs a lot of work to be competitive."
Boullier adds: "What we know is the car is already good compared to last year's but we also know that the aero or vehicle dynamics development we can bring on this car in the next months is massive."
Andy Burnham has asked for the "very limited" terms of reference related to former Ch Insp John Buttress's case, as set out by GMP, to be examined.
Kent Police are investigating Mr Buttress's misconduct claims against several senior GMP officers.
The Police and Crime Commissioner said the inquiry's scope was "sufficient".
Last month, Mr Buttress was sacked for gross misconduct, having "fallen below" the force's accepted honesty standards.
He was accused of breaching professional standards over his mortgage, after being cleared of criminal charges at Liverpool Crown Court.
He alleges he was the victim of "corrupt practice" within the force's anti-corruption unit, but GMP said an independent panel found him guilty of misconduct.
Mr Burnham, Labour MP for Leigh, wrote to Greater Manchester's police and crime commissioner Tony Lloyd requesting the terms of reference be "redrafted by an independent force".
This was because Mr Burnham said there was a "considerable overlap" in the cases of Mr Buttress and another officer Mohammed Razaq, who was jailed for insurance and mortgage fraud.
Razaq was found guilty of nine fraud and money laundering offences and jailed for 18 months in July 2013.
Mr Burnham said: "I am therefore requesting that the terms of reference are redrafted by an independent force to broaden their scope and allow them to investigate fully the worrying allegations raised."
But, Mr Lloyd said: "The terms of reference... set out for Kent Police are wide-ranging to enable a thorough and robust investigation to be carried out.
"Regarding Mr Razaq... he was sentenced to 18 months in prison and subsequently repaid a total of £51,000 under the Proceeds of Crime Act. He did appeal against his conviction and this was dismissed in 2013.
"I am confident that the terms of reference under which Kent Police will investigate are sufficient to establish the accuracy, or otherwise, of the allegations against GMP."
The Arsenal Ladies forward, who was ignored by former boss Hope Powell and had an injury-hit 2015 World Cup, made her mark in her first European Championship with two first-half goals, and added a lobbed third before she was substituted before the hour.
The Merseysider, the first senior England women's player to score a hat-trick in a major tournament, latched on to Fran Kirby's flick to open the scoring, then tucked in from a tight angle following a goalmouth scramble.
Ellen White scored a seventh goal in nine games when she followed up Jill Scott's strike against the bar to make it 3-0 before half-time and, following Taylor's third, Jordan Nobbs' volley and Toni Duggan's injury-time header completed the rout.
After a bright start, Scotland - who are making their debut at a major tournament and have several part-time players - were limited to chances from set-pieces.
They were outclassed by a superior England side who, at fifth in the world rankings, are 16 places above Anna Signeul's team and lived up to their status as one of the favourites for the tournament following their third-place finish at the World Cup two years ago.
In Group D's earlier game, Spain beat Portugal 2-0. England face the Spaniards on Sunday at 19:45 BST, after Scotland play Portugal at 17:00 BST.
Taylor's path to the England team has been a meandering one.
She was not picked by Powell, then turned down a chance to play for her country in 2010 because she "needed a break" from the game.
Mark Sampson gave Taylor her debut at the age of 28 in 2014, and though she made the 2015 World Cup squad, she was still struggling with a knee injury and only scored in the quarter-final win over Canada.
After further injury problems since signing for Arsenal last year, the 31-year old has finally found her fitness, and looked sharp in an England team who have been through a gruelling fitness regime in preparation for the tournament.
Scotland looked uncharacteristically exposed for England's opener, when they were sliced open by Kirby's flick, but they were out-muscled and out-run by a team that kept possession well and were quicker to loose balls.
Sampson claimed before the tournament that England would be the "fittest team" at Euro 2017, with performance coaches saying the squad's overall conditioning had improved by 23% in less than a year. It looked a justified claim.
From the start, Nobbs was energetic on the right side, and worked well with Jade Moore and Scott as the midfield three took control. With full-backs Lucy Bronze and Demi Stokes aiming to get forward at every opportunity, the Scottish defence lacked protection.
For the second goal, Scott reacted quickest to a corner and when her shot was cleared off the line, Taylor expertly converted from a tight angle.
Likewise, when Scott hit the bar from 25 yards, White beat Ifeoma Dieke and Vaila Barsley to score. Taylor was then quickest to react to White's flick-on to lob in for her second England hat-trick.
Scotland skipper Gemma Fay, earning her 202nd cap, said this would be the game of her career, after such a long wait to play in a major tournament.
Signeul's team have twice lost in the play-offs, and they were hamstrung by injuries to key players Kim Little and Jennifer Beattie, who will not feature in this tournament.
Despite a determined start in front of their vocal supporters, with striker Jane Ross almost troubling Manchester City team-mate Karen Bardsley in the first minute, their chances were restricted, although substitute Lana Clelland did hit the side-netting with a good second-half opportunity.
In truth, the scoreline could have been worse, but after Nobbs got a deserved goal for all her hard work and Duggan nodded in late on, Scotland were well beaten by a team with better resources and more full-time professionals.
They will hope they can bounce back against Portugal.
Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis on BBC Radio 5 live:
A convincing win for England and a dominant overall performance. They will be a force to be reckoned with. They would have expected it but doing it out there is a different thing. It will feel fabulous.
The girls have said how hard they have worked physically and we saw that. Boss Mark Sampson was clever with his substitutions and that breeds confidence. England looked another level. They came out on to the pitch and knew they were going to win. They had visualised this moment, having worked so hard in the build-up.
Jodie Taylor is hungry for success in this wonderful set-up. She spent so long in exile under Hope Powell for whatever reason but it spurred her on. It has shaped her as a person.
Scotland played some wonderful, one and two-touch football in the England half and opened them up at times. Sampson will be happy but there will be details he knows his team can improve, such as switching off by conceding yellow cards, those type of things he will want to work on.
Former Scotland winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 live:
England were the better side and they scored some quality goals. They have creativity, strength and power, miles ahead of Scotland. The Scots worked hard and probably did not deserve to lose 6-0. They have to get up again, fight and be brave. England can win this tournament.
There is no way any player in the tournament can stop England's Lucy Bronze, she was spectacular.
Scotland made chances, they should be proud of the effort they have put in and deserved a goal in the second half. Tonight though, they were too easily beaten in the middle of their defence. The downside is the goal difference. If it comes to the last game, that could count badly against them.
You need to have all your best players out on the park and Scotland cannot seem to cope when they have a couple of players out. I did not see any Scotland players who did not give it their all.

Edward Woollard, 18, from Hampshire, was among protesters who broke into the Tory party headquarters and emerged on the roof on 10 November.
He was jailed for two years and eight months after admitting at an earlier hearing to committing violent disorder.
Police said his actions "could have resulted in catastrophic injury".
The student, who hoped to be the first member of his family to go on to higher education, was filmed throwing an empty metal fire extinguisher from the seventh-floor of 30 Millbank as hundreds of people gathered in a courtyard below.
The canister narrowly missed a line of police officers attempting to protect the looted and vandalised building from further damage on a day when 66 people were arrested.
The Brockenhurst College sixth-form student later went with his mother to a police station and admitted to throwing the extinguisher after footage of the incident was shown on television.
Woollard, from Dibden Purlieu, in the New Forest, was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court.
Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC told the student the public had a right to protection from violence.
"It is deeply regrettable, indeed a shocking thing, for a court to have sentence a young man such as you to a substantial term of custody," the judge said.
"But the courts have a duty to provide the community with such protection from violence as they can.
"This means sending out a very clear message to anyone minded to behave in this way that an offence of this seriousness will not be tolerated."
He added it was "exceedingly fortunate that your action did not result in death or very serious injury either to a police officer or a fellow protester".
The judge praised Woollard's mother, Tania Garwood, saying he was taking into account her "extraordinary and courageous conduct" in persuading him to give himself up.
In a police statement read to the court, Woollard apologised for his actions, saying: "When I was told I had potentially endangered people, I felt sick.
"I was absolutely not intending that anyone in any way would be hurt."
His barrister, Hossein Zahir, said Woollard acted in a "moment of madness" and the offence had "jeopardised his future and prospects".
In a statement, Brockenhurst College said: "The college views what occurred as extremely serious and Edward Woollard has been on permanent exclusion since the incident."
Woollard was told that he would serve at least half of his sentence for violent disorder in a young offenders institution.
Cdr Bob Broadhurst, the Metropolitan Police's head of public order, said the sentence was "a significant period of imprisonment" which would have "a significant impact" on Wollard's future.
"I would ask those intent on causing violence and undermining those committed to peaceful protest to reflect on today's outcome."
Entitled Coco, the film tells of a boy called Miguel who is transported to the Land of the Dead when he touches a dead musician's enchanted guitar.
Sounds ghoulish? Well, it is - and a little contentious too, given Mexico's strained relationship with the US.
We'll be able to judge for ourselves when Coco comes out later this year.
In the meantime, here's what we've learned from watching the two-minute teaser.
The trailer begins by revealing Miguel's lovingly assembled shrine to a dead guitar player called Ernesto de la Cruz, voiced in the film by Benjamin Bratt.
With its collection of album covers, maquettes, mugs and photographs, it's clearly a labour of love for the angel-faced tyke.
Ernesto, we understand, is Miguel's great-great-grandfather - which explains why he has a video cassette of his most famous moments.
Clearly, DVD players have yet to make inroads in the place Miguel calls home.
"I have to sing! I have to play," says Ernesto in black and white. "The music - it's not just in me, it is me."
Clearly the music is in Miguel as well, who has a battered guitar modelled on his idol's.
Remember that bit in Spectre where James Bond finds a photo with someone's face missing? Well, this scene seems awfully similar.
Why does this incomplete family portrait show Ernesto's fabled guitar though? The plot thickens.
Something about that photo sends Miguel to the mausoleum built in Ernesto's memory, a giant tomb bearing the name of his most famous song - Remember Me.
Apparently there's nothing to stop anyone sneaking in at the dead of night to pay their respects.
Or, for that matter, taking down the guitar that sits beneath the great man's portrait and giving it a twiddle.
Like Kubo before him, though, Miguel discovers that playing an instrument can have magical results.
Playing the guitar gives Miguel an ethereal glow - and it also turns him invisible.
"What's going on?" he gasps as he tries in vain to hold onto a passer-by's arm.
Turns out Miguel has somehow crossed over into a parallel world where skeletons walk.
They also wear hats and make-up and freak out when the non-dead scream at them.
Remember those leaves? Well, it turns out they make up a magical portal that Miguel and his dog use to get to the Land of the Dead.
Could it also be seen as a riposte to the wall President Trump wants to build along the US-Mexican border?
Is it just us, or does the trailer's final scene recall Ridley Scott's 1982 classic - soon to spawn a belated sequel?
A nice touch, by the way, to name Miguel's dog after Dante Alighieri, whose epic poem Divine Comedy begins with a visit to Hell.
Now if all this sounds a little familiar, it could be because there's already been an animated film about the Day of the Dead.
Released in 2014, The Book of Life told of a bullfighter with musical aspirations whose love for a beautiful woman takes him to the afterlife.
Disney/Pixar has some other skeletons to deal with too: namely, the howls of protest that greeted its attempts to slap a trademark on Mexico's "Dia de los Muertos" in 2013.
Coco is out in the US on 22 November and the UK on 8 December.

In the past five years the department has paid around £5.5m to the Western European Union, which is now defunct.
Critics said it was a waste of taxpayers' money but the Foreign Office says the UK has been pushing to get the WEU fully closed as soon as possible.
The payments were revealed by a Freedom of Information request.
The BBC's FOI request disclosed that payments have been made to cover residual pension obligations which were not fully financed by arrangements made by the organisation prior to closure, as well into a fund to cover potential shortfalls in wind-up costs and unforeseen legal costs.
The Western European Union, established in 1954, was a military alliance of West European states set up to coordinate defence policies against the common Soviet threat at the height of the Cold War.
However, after the relaxation of east-west tensions in Europe, most of the organisation's security functions were transferred into the Common Security and Defence Policy of the European Union.
The members of the Western European Union moved to terminate the organisation in March 2010, and the WEU was formally declared defunct in June 2011.
The Western European Union was formed by Britain, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands in 1948 by the Treaty of Brussels, to defend against the possibility of a renewed threat from Germany.
But the Brussels-based organisation was quickly eclipsed by the formation of NATO with the United States, the following year, when attention switched to the threat of attack from the Soviet Union.
It nevertheless grew to include 10 European nations, including Germany and Italy. It was meant to be independent of NATO, with its own chiefs of staff and military command but, in practice, it was little more than a talking shop, which mounted few military operations of its own.
It held its final committee meeting in late 2000, when its functions were absorbed into the European Union, as part of moves to create an EU rapid reaction force and common defence policy. It was not formally closed down until 2011.
The fact that government money is still being paid towards the organisation has prompted criticism.
Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of campaign group the Taxpayers' Alliance said: "Taxpayers will be scratching their heads as to why they're still paying for a Cold War-era organisation 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
"Because this organisation continued to exist well past its sell by date, British taxpayers are still picking up a bill for huge pay-offs.
"The government must make every effort to close the book on the WEU and limit taxpayers' liabilities."
Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who is campaigning to leave the EU, said: "A gravy train seems to have become a ghost train."
The Foreign Office said in a statement: "While the UK will continue to meet all of its obligations to former WEU employees, our overall objective is to move the WEU towards full closure.
"We continue to work with other former member states to address all outstanding legacy issues as quickly and efficiently as possible."
That is about a fifth of all pedestrian and cycling casualties in the capital.
However the mayor's office said fewer people were seriously hurt on the roads in 2014 and fatalities were at a low.
Green Party London Assembly Member Jenny Jones said hit-and-runs were increasing due to the high number of people driving illegally in London.
She said: "I think London's hard pushed traffic police do a great job, but there are not enough of them. The Met Police really must act urgently to ensure that drivers take responsibility for their actions."
The number of pedestrians injured in hit and runs in 2014 rose by 169 from the previous year. The number of cyclists injured in hit-and-runs for the same period rose by 120 to 1,014 in total.
Most of the injuries were not serious though, and the number of people killed or seriously injured by hit-and-runs last year fell by 7% - the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured in the same period fell by 12%.
London Cycling Campaign's Tom Bogdanowicz said: "This level of lawlessness must be tackled as a priority including action to take unlicensed and uninsured cars and lorries off the road."
Sarah Williams, from Living Streets which represents pedestrians, said: "It is shocking that people trying to go about their day are being injured and killed on our streets. London's streets need to be made safer places to walk."
The mayor's office said the mayor was investing nearly £1bn in cycling infrastructure and in tackling illegal, dangerous and careless road behaviour.
The Met said it has a specialist investigation team for roads policing and transport which concentrates on serious collisions.
The "truly wicked, marauding mob" stabbed Sean McHugh, 19, with a "sword stick" in Anfield on 30 September 2013.
Reese O'Shaughnessy, 19, was jailed for a minimum of 18 years after he was convicted alongside four others.
Andrew Hewitt, 15, Keyfer Dykstra, Corey Hewitt and Joseph McGill, all 14, were also detained by Liverpool Crown Court.
Dykstra was sentenced to a minimum of 12 years, Andrew Hewitt and McGill were sentenced to a minimum of nine years and Corey Hewitt for a minimum of six years.
Judge Clement Goldstone described Mr McHugh's killers as "a marauding mob".
"Each of you has been convicted of the murder of Sean McHugh - a truly wicked attack in which each of you played different roles," Justice Goldstone said.
A victim impact statement from Mr McHugh's mother Lorraine that was read in court said: "They might as well have killed me."
The teenagers were part of a gang known as the Lane Heads, a rival gang to the Walton Village Heads which Mr McHugh was linked to.
Months earlier, Dykstra was stabbed in the chest by a member of the Walton Village Heads and wanted to "avenge that stabbing", the court heard.
"The stabbing was avenged not by attacking the person responsible, but by attacking someone... by virtue of his affiliation to the Walton Village Heads," Justice Goldstone said.
The gang targeted Mr McHugh, of Beckett Street, Liverpool, after a minor dispute and found him at the Priory Road launderette, where he had left his washing, at about 19:00 BST.
Armed with knives and the makeshift sword stick, described as similar to a broom handle but with a blade attached, the gang forced the back door to the room where Mr McHugh was hiding.
He was beaten and stabbed before the group ran out.
Mr McHugh escaped and was found in an alleyway having been stabbed in the groin. He died a few days later in hospital from blood loss.
The Iron took an early lead when centre-back Murray Wallace headed home but the visitors shipped goals to Marc-Antoine Fortune, Simon Cox and Ryan Leonard as they conceded top spot to Sheffield United, and their woes were compounded late on by Neal Bishop's dismissal for violent conduct.
It had all started so well for Graham Alexander's men, who initially seemed on course for a fourth successive league win when Murray nodded into a gaping goal in the fifth minute after Southend goalkeeper Ted Smith had failed to deal with a deep free-kick from Duane Holmes.
But the Shrimpers hit back to equalise in the 39th minute when Fortune headed home Cox's left-wing cross from close range.
Southend took the lead in the 76th minute when substitute Jermaine McGlashan sprinted down the left wing and delivered a low cross, which was fired home from close range by Cox.
And the home side then sealed their win in the 81st minute when Leonard poked home a left-wing cross from Ben Coker as Phil Brown's side surged into the play-off places.
Scunthorpe's afternoon finished on a dismal note as Bishop was dismissed for kicking out at Jason Demetriou.

Heras, 43, tested positive for the banned substance erythropoietin (EPO) at the 2005 Tour of Spain and was suspended for two years by Spain's Royal Cycling Federation.
The findings were overturned in 2011 and Heras sued the Spanish state in 2013 for 1 million euros but the compensation has been reduced.
The Supreme Court said in a statement it rejected the Spanish state's appeal because the overturned sanction was the direct cause of Heras losing commercial and professional contracts.
Heras' positive test was overturned in 2011 by a civil court in Castile and Leon, which ruled that irregularities had taken place in the analysis of blood samples in the investigation.
The Supreme Court upheld that decision in 2012 and ordered Heras - a former US Postal team-mate of Lance Armstrong - be reinstated as the 2005 Tour of Spain winner.
Armstrong, who retired from cycling in 2005 but then returned to the sport between 2009 and 2012, was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and given a lifetime ban by United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) in 2012.
The number at risk is likely to rise as only two thirds of the 700,000 notes found had been checked, officials said.
Cancer test results and child protection notes were among the documents that were missing in England.
The National Audit Office also said there were questions to answer about the handling of the incident.
Its review of the issue looked at the role of the government and the company responsible for the mix-up, which is part-owned by the Department of Health.
The company, NHS Shared Business Services (SBS), was employed in the East Midlands, South West and north-east London to redirect mail for the health service.
It was meant to pass on documents that had either been incorrectly addressed or needed re-routing because the patient had moved to a new GP surgery.
But between 2011 and 2016 a backlog of 709,000 pieces of correspondence piled up in a NHS SBS warehouse.
The issue came to light in February after the Guardian newspaper reported it.
Now the NAO has reviewed what exactly happened and found:
The report by the NAO found the cost of dealing with the incident was likely to be in the region of at least £6.6m.
A spokeswoman for NHS SBS acknowledged there had been "failings".
She added: "We regret this situation and have co-operated fully with the NAO in its investigation."
A Department of Health spokeswoman said it was committed to being transparent over the handling of the issue and was working to make sure this did not happen again.
It said it was given advice not to raise the alarm publicly until it had a better understanding of the problem, concerns about patient safety would always outweigh its role as a shareholder in the company and as yet there had still been no proof of harm to patients.
Individual investigations - overseen by NHS England - are taking place into the 1,788 cases of potential harm identified by GPs who have reviewed the missing notes.
On top of that over 200,000 records have still to be reviewed by GPs in the first place to determine if there was a potential for harm to have happened.
All investigations are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Dr Richard Vautrey, of the British Medical Association, said the "disastrous" situation should never happen again.
"The handling and transfer of clinical correspondence is a crucial part of how general practice operates, and it's essential that important information reaches GPs as soon as possible so that they can provide the best possible care to their patients."
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron described it as "colossal blunder".
And shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said the whole episode was a "scandal" that ministers needed to answer for.
"This is a staggering catalogue of mistakes on this government's watch," he added.

Under the scheme, GP records in England will be put on a database and combined with other data to improve care.
Dame Fiona Caldicott, chairwoman of the Independent Information Governance Oversight Panel (IIGOP), told the BBC that "there was too much hurry".
She said the public information campaigns were not clear enough.
She also said NHS England had not followed the IIGOP's advice on making the text clearer on the leaflet designed to inform every household of the programme.
A BBC survey found that fewer than a third of those polled could recall getting the leaflet.
Dame Fiona also could not recall receiving a leaflet.
If her panel's advice to improve the text of the leaflet had been followed, "perhaps things would not have unfolded in quite the way that they did", she said in an interview with Radio 4's PM programme.
Following criticism of the Care.data information campaign from professional bodies such as the BMA and the Royal College of General Practitioners, the uploading of data from GP practices was delayed by six months to the autumn.
"It may not be long enough," said Dame Fiona. Although she felt the six-month delay had been useful, she said testing of the scheme with some practices and patients might reveal a longer pause was required.
In a statement, NHS England said: "We've been listening and acting on the views of patients, the public, doctors and others, and are making key changes in response."
It also pointed to moves in parliament to strengthen legal safeguards of patient data.
Following the row about Care.data, other concerns emerged about the use of existing pools of NHS data, particularly hospital episode statistics, by private firms.
Critics worry about so-called "commercial reuse licenses".
Such licences were an area that Dame Fiona said she was "not comfortable with" and urged greater transparency.
Dame Fiona's intervention is significant.
She is the author of two reports that have looked at how the NHS may best use patient information and share data while retaining the trust of patients.
Within each NHS organisation the staff member responsible for protecting the confidentiality of patient information is called a Caldicott Guardian.
The 11-member IIGOP panel she chairs even includes representatives from the Health and Social Care Information Centre, the body responsible for storing and providing access to NHS data.
The panel exists to provide "independent advice and challenge to the whole health and care system" on information governance issues, and to deliver annual updates to the Secretary of State for Health.
But Dame Fiona says in her personal view it needs increased powers and its recommendations should carry the weight of law.
"We don't have the resources, and I think learning from what has happened with these recent difficulties, there's evidence that such a panel needs to be on a statutory basis," she said.
Dame Fiona remains convinced that collecting and making use of health data through programmes like Care.data will yield great benefits.
But she also feels the NHS has moved too quickly, and has not always taken patients with it in the drive to make use of data.
"I can understand how it happens but in general terms there has been too much haste," she said.
Results show former vice president Lenin Moreno of the Socialist Party has 51.12% of the vote, with just 4% of districts still waiting to be counted.
But challenger Guillermo Lasso had already begun celebrations after an exit poll predicted his victory.
He demanded a recount, and called on supporters to take to the streets.
He also alleged electoral fraud had been used to grant victory to his opponent.
In a series of tweets, he told the public to "peacefully defend your vote" and said he was "going to defend the will of the people".
Final official results have yet to be announced.
If Mr Moreno is declared the winner, he will continue a decade of left-wing leadership begun by President Rafael Correa in 2007.
He would also become one of a small number of disabled world leaders - he became paraplegic after being shot in the back during a robbery in 1998.
An apparent victory for Mr Moreno was welcomed by Wikileaks founder Julian Assange - as Mr Lasso had vowed to evict him from his asylum in the country's London embassy if victorious.
Mr Assange tweeted that he "cordially invites" Mr Lasso to leave the country within 30 days - referencing the timeframe the candidate gave for Mr Assange's own eviction.
Mr Lasso, a former banker who wants to promote foreign investment, called for a recount after Mr Moreno started to take a lead in the preliminary results.
Exit polls released earlier on Sunday had suggested an extremely tight race.
A poll by Periles de Opinion had shown Mr Moreno leading with 52.2%, while a poll by Cedatos showed Mr Lasso winning with 53.02%.
The incumbent President Correa, meanwhile, tweeted criticism of what he termed "violence" in several cities as early results emerged.
Local media reported that some of Mr Lasso's supporters had gathered in the capital of Quito, as well as the city of Guayaquil. The El Comercio newspaper said the crowd removed barriers placed in the road, and bottles were thrown by some in Guayaquil.
"What they do not achieve at the polls, they want to achieve by force," Mr Correa said.
When he was first elected in 2007, Mr Correa was one of a group of left-wing leaders in power in Latin America.
But in the decade since, conservative politicians have taken power in Argentina and Brazil. A victory for Mr Lasso would have continued that trend.

The bodies of a Norwegian woman, 29, a British man, 31, and a German woman, 19, were found in a burned-out car south-east of Perth, local media said.
A local farmer was also reportedly killed trying to warn residents of the encroaching fire.
It was the first deadly bushfire of the Australian summer, sparked by lightning over the weekend.
The three European workers reportedly drove away from the property to rescue a horse and took a wrong turn into the fire.
Linda Campbell told the West Australian that all three victims worked for her on the property at Scaddan, near the town of Esperance.
"If they had turned right at the gate and not left they wouldn't have died," she was quoted as saying.
"They had become part of the team and all the staff are taking this very hard."
The fipronil insecticide scare will not stop the 22-year-old tradition in Malmedy, a town in mainly French-speaking south-eastern Belgium.
Food safety officials say the fipronil traces found in eggs are too tiny to harm people. The chemical, which kills lice, is banned in the food chain.
Traces have been found in 18 countries.
The insecticide got into the food chain in the Netherlands, which is one of Europe's biggest egg producers, but contaminated eggs have travelled as far as Hong Kong.
Millions of eggs have been destroyed, suspect batches removed from supermarket shelves, and the cost to producers and retailers is estimated at €150m (£136m; $177m) so far.
Two Dutch suspects are in police custody. Meanwhile, some 180 poultry farms have been temporarily shut.
What do we know about the Europe egg scare?
Egg scandal affects many EU countries
The Malmedy eggs have undergone extra-tight scrutiny, broadcaster RTL says.
But the organisers are nervous, fearing that many citizens might spurn the egg, bacon and herb omelette, cooked in a 4m-wide (13ft) frying pan.
"We'll see how it goes, because you still hear a lot of rumours and people are saying they're a bit frightened," commented Robert Ansenne, "grandmaster" of the organisation called "The World Fraternity of Knights of the Giant Omelette".
Portions of the omelette are handed out free to the public in a square in Malmedy at the annual celebration.
The giant omelette tradition has spread to Bessières and Fréjus in France, Dumbea in New Caledonia, Abbeville in the US state of Louisiana, Granby in Canada and Pigüé in Argentina.
The routine hernia repair procedure took place at the London Independent Hospital.
Clips from it were posted to Snapchat.
Another consultant pressed record on the glasses during the operation.
The young male patient featured in the videos, which have now been posted on YouTube, has chosen to remain anonymous, but is recovering well from the routine operation.
Stepping out of a clinic to speak to the BBC, Dr Ahmed said the spectacles presented a unique opportunity because of the platform they offered for teaching.
"I'm always looking for ways to develop my teaching, especially using wearable technology. When I saw the Snap spectacles, I asked friends in New York to buy some and send them to me immediately.
"We have inequalities in medical education in different countries - I'm looking for ways we can use cutting-edge technology in relatively low-cost gadgets to teach people everywhere," he said.
The operation was initially viewed by about 200 medical students and trainees. It has now had thousands of views on YouTube.
Snapchat allows users to post only short video clips, meaning Dr Ahmed had to carefully plan how he would record the operation.
"I had to think through the operation and what I'd show in each clip. I wanted to demonstrate techniques and break it down in a structured way."
With hygiene in mind, Dr Ahmed had an assistant on hand to hit record on the $130 (£100) glasses. Since the spectacles cannot stream footage directly to the internet, the operation was captured in 10 second chunks that each took about half a minute to get online.
"He is a consultant too, so he knew when to press the button. We had a pre-determined list of clips we wanted to get."
Dr Ahmed's colleague then posted the clips to Snapchat. The delay before posting allowed the opportunity to edit, important if anything had gone awry, the doctor explained.
This is not the first time Dr Ahmed has put his work in the spotlight. In April this year he used a 360-degree camera rig to create a virtual reality film of an operation. Some 55,000 people watched it in 180 countries.
He has also operated while wearing Google glasses.
The challenge of the Snap spectacles was the tinted lenses because they are designed to be used as sunglasses.
"We rigorously tested them beforehand to see what the view was like and whether they impinged my view at all. It was a superficial operation and the glasses didn't restrict me," said Dr Ahmed.
With plans to use the spectacles for teaching, the lenses are set to be replaced with clear glass by a US company.
"In terms of teaching and learning the spectacles have enormous value. The feedback has already been good - students understand what we are doing here.
"I'm going to do more operations but also clinical skills lessons too, looking at lumps and talking through diagnostics techniques and so on," Dr Ahmed said.
Snap spectacles have received a lot of attention due to the limited release.
Clare Dimyon wrote that she suffered a "life-threatening sexual assault" in 1984 and praised the girl for her courage in coming forward.
Police said the victim was in school uniform when she was forced into a car and raped by two men on 28 September.
No arrests have been made and images of two suspects have now been issued.
Ms Dimyon, who used to live in the Summertown area of Oxford where the attack happened, said reading about the girl's experience had motivated her to report her own rape.
She said: "It may be foolhardy. It is certainly costing me a good deal in psychological terms, but she has to know that somebody has gone that extra mile.
"It has a very strong echo, it has a very strong resonance, and I am a teacher, she's a schoolkid, she was in uniform, and she needs to know she's going to get through this.
"No two assaults are ever the same, each has their specific narrative… but in so many ways what's happened to her… was actually far worse than what happened to me."
The teenager was found at midday by a member of public after knocking on doors to get help in Cavendish Drive, Marston.
The suspects were described by the victim as white and used a silver hatchback.
The first spoke with a northern accent, was in his mid-20s, and was balding with shaved dark blond hair. He had blue eyes, a medium build and was about 6ft (1.82m) tall.
The second man had brown gelled hair, was clean-shaven with brown eyes, and was in his late teens or early 20s, with a slightly smaller build.
Elin Jones was launching the formal consultation on a plan backed by all parties in the assembly last October.
Young people will be asked for their views on the youth parliament's name, aim, membership, role and values.
"Children and young people have the right to take part [in politics] as citizens now," Ms Jones said.
The Youth Assembly for Wales - known as Funky Dragon - closed in 2014 after the Welsh Government withdrew funding, prompting concern about the lack of an initiative to engage young people in politics.
"Our duty is not only to today's voters, but to all citizens whose lives the assembly touches," the presiding officer said, launching the consultation at her former school in Lampeter, Ceredigion, on Friday.
Ideas have already been gathered from a steering group which includes the children's commissioner, charities, the National Union of Students and groups such as the Scouts, Guides, young farmers and the Urdd.
"Children and young people will inspire us all to think differently about our nation's future," Ms Jones added.
"They often think of original ideas and provide valuable perspectives to complex issues.
"We must provide support for them to discuss issues they care about, find ways for them to influence, and, above all, we must listen."
Consultation events will be held across Wales from 13 May to 30 June. | UK retail sales fell 0.5% in March from February, dragged down by a 6.2% fall in sales at petrol stations, the Office for National Statistics said.

Tata Steel, which employs more than 7,500 people in Wales, revealed plans to close the final salary pension scheme on Friday.
Trade unions accuse Tata Steel of being "hell bent" on closing the pension scheme and refusing to compromise.
Tata said it will consult employees on the closure of the pension scheme.
The firm has sites in Port Talbot, Llanwern in Newport, Shotton in Flintshire and Trostre, Carmarthenshire.
A company spokesman said: "We have been unable come to an agreement that would have enabled defined benefit provision to continue.
"We remain committed to providing employees with competitive future pension provision,"
It proposes to replace the current pension scheme with a defined contribution one.
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the Community trade union, said Tata's decision to close the current scheme is "unnecessary and profoundly disappointing".
He said: "We have made every effort to compromise with the company, even discussing the possibility of meeting the deficit through changes to member benefits. Sadly, the company rejected this offer.
"We have lost all faith in the company and its leadership, which has brought us to the brink of a major national industrial dispute for the first time in over 30 years."
Tata Steel insists that it is cooperating with the unions.
"Those discussions have been held in a constructive and transparent atmosphere," said its spokesman.

Officers were called to Duck Lane, St Neots, Cambridgeshire, after concerns for the safety of people inside were reported on Wednesday evening.
The man, named locally as married father-of-three Richard Davies, was shot by a firearms officer about 15 minutes later and died at the scene.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating.
A spokesman for the watchdog said the man's next of kin had been informed and the area would remain cordoned off "for some time" while IPCC investigations took place.
Cambridgeshire Police said it would "not be appropriate to comment further" at this stage, but said it was the first time firearms officers have shot someone dead in the county.
No-one else was injured in the incident.
Mr Davies, a fitter believed to have been in his 40s, was described as a friendly family man by neighbours.
He worked for mechanical engineering firm Bosch Rexroth in nearby Cromwell Road.
A spokesman said the company was "saddened" but could not comment further as there was an ongoing investigation.
Residents reported hearing raised voices shortly before the police arrived at the house.
One said: "There was definitely some kind of row last night. We heard shouting for a few minutes then it seemed to die down."
Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "I heard three loud bangs and thought they were fireworks."
Resident Mary Bath, 65, said: "We heard the bangs and joked it sounded like gunfire. Suddenly there were police everywhere and we realised it was serious."

Fife Council said it was starting a review of specifications for future projects and existing cladding used on buildings.
Edinburgh is to review fire safety and evacuation procedures in all blocks.
Rescuers in London have said they do not expect to find any survivors in Grenfell Tower, north Kensington.
The block was engulfed in a massive fire in the early hours of Wednesday morning which spread rapidly to most of the building's 24 storeys.
Seventeen people have been confirmed dead, but police have warned this number will rise. People have been desperately seeking news of missing family and friends.
Thirty people remain in hospital - 15 of whom are in a critical condition.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the Scottish government would be ready to take any necessary action following an investigation into the fire.
Speaking at First Minister's Questions, she said: "The investigation into this fire is clearly at a very early stage and while there appear to be very serious questions to be answered we must be careful not to speculate at this stage.
"That said, members will wish to know that the local government minister has this morning discussed the fire with local authority colleagues.
"A ministerial group will also be convened to review Scottish regulations and to ensure we are standing ready to take any actions necessary as lessons are learned form this catastrophic fire."
The cause of the fire is not yet known, but the BBC has learned that the cladding installed on Grenfell Tower was also used on other buildings that have been hit by fires around the world.
The exterior cladding, added in 2015, had a polyethylene - or plastic - core instead of an even more fireproof alternative, BBC Newsnight understands.
High-rise buildings in France, the UAE and Australia that had similar cladding have all been hit by fires that spread.
A spokesman for Fife Council said: "We are confident our fire safety procedures and over-cladding specifications are safe.
"To further reassure tenants and residents, we have agreed to start a review of our specification for future projects, and this will include a review of the existing over-cladding that has been used in Fife. We will issue information updates as this review is taken forward."
Aberdeen City Council has reassured its tenants and residents that it constantly ensured its buildings "met required standards and regulations".
"However, in the wake of the fire in London, we are working closely with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service about additional advice which can be given to tenants and residents.
"While investigations are ongoing in London, there have been concerns in the media from tenants in London about over-cladding, and we would like to give the following assurances.
"All of our over-cladded buildings were designed to comply with Scottish Building Regulations, and have been subject to building warrant approval, detailed design and specifications showing compliance with regulations and an inspection regime."
Mary Taylor, chief executive of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, said she was "shocked and saddened" by the fire in London.
"None of us should rush to judgement or action until we know what led to the fire and, importantly, why people could not escape," she said.
"While we wait to hear findings as to the cause, or causes, of the fire, we are, in the meantime, working with members to assess the situation in Scotland.
"Our members will make any adjustments that are deemed necessary to maintain the safety of their properties."
Building standards in Scotland are a devolved issue and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service works with local authorities and housing associations to ensure the safety of occupants in high-rise buildings.
Since Wednesday's massive fire, many local authorities in Scotland have moved to reassure tenants and residents that their buildings are safe.
Glasgow Housing Association said it had a "robust approach" in place to minimise the risk of fire and to prevent it spreading.
Wheatley Group director of property and development Tom Barclay added: "The materials used in our multi-storey investment programme meet all building standards and regulations for this type of property.
"We also carry out regular patrols and inspections as part of our broader approach to health and safety."
Allan Henderson, from Highland Council, said: "We are confident of the fire safety of our housing stock in relation to building standards and conditions, but will obviously consider the factors involved in the Grenfell Tower fire as details emerge on this and implement any fire safety recommendations for social landlords."
The Bluebirds were second from bottom when former boss Paul Trollope was sacked in October.
Under current manager Neil Warnock, Cardiff have climbed up to 13th place with three games left in the campaign.
"We were right down there at the start of the season so I think we've come a long way," said Peltier.
"If we finish in the top half, it just makes you think what could have been if we'd started off properly. We would have been right up there."
Asked if he was envious of the clubs competing for promotion, Peltier said: "Yeah, definitely. You're always looking to see the results and who's in and who's not in. It's going right down to the wire at both ends."
Peltier returned from an ankle injury to make his first appearance since January as Cardiff beat Nottingham Forest on Easter Monday.
The 30-year-old, who played for 64 minutes against Forest before being substituted, had initially feared his season was over.
"The plan was to get through it and get it sorted at the end of the season, but against Preston [in January] my ankle just locked up, and I thought 'enough is enough'," said Peltier.
"I went to see the surgeon and he operated on it straight away. It was quite a big operation so I was glad to get it sorted. I feel good and I'm just looking to get myself back fit.
"I was due to be out for the season, but I've come back quite quick. The gaffer's been telling me not to push it, but I've been wanting to come back in the squad. If I'd have left it, it would have been a long time from when I'd been injured until pre-season, so I didn't want to be out that long."
With little to play for between now and the end of the season, Warnock has repeatedly said in recent weeks he is already planning for the next campaign.
Despite being described by his manager as one of the best right-backs in the Championship, Peltier is not taking his place in the squad for granted.
"I wouldn't say fine - you never know in football do you? Everyone's fighting for places and I think competition in the team is very good," he added.
"It will just make us stronger, there's a good team spirit in the dressing room and there's no jealousy or anything like that. It will be good to get some fresh faces in and see what happens."
The software is also surreptitiously installing apps and spying on the browsing habits of victims.
The malware is currently making about $300,000 (£232,000) a month for its creators, suggests research.
The majority of phones that have been compromised by the malicious software are in China.
A spike in the number of phones infected by the malware was noticed separately by security companies Checkpoint and Lookout. The malware family is called Shedun by Lookout but Hummingbad by Checkpoint
In a blogpost, Checkpoint said it had obtained access to the command-and-control servers that oversee infected phones which revealed that Hummingbad was now on about 10 million devices. China, India, the Philippines and Indonesia top the list of nations with most phones infected by the software.
Hummingbad is a type of malware known as a rootkit that inserts itself deep inside a phone's operating system to help it avoid detection and to give its controllers total control over the handset.
The ability to control phones remotely has been used to click on ads to make them seem more popular than they actually are. The access has also been used to install fake versions of popular apps or spread programs the gang has been paid to promote.
"It can remain persistent even if the user performs a factory reset," wrote Kristy Edwards from Lookout in a blogpost. "It uses its root privileges to install additional apps on to the device, further increasing ad revenue for the authors and defeating uninstall attempts."
Ms Edwards said the recent spike in infections could be driven by the gang behind the malware adding more functions or using their access to phones for different purposes.
The malware gets installed on handsets by exploiting loopholes in older versions of the Android operating system known as KitKat and JellyBean. The latest version of Android is known as Marshmallow.
In a statement, Google said: ""We've long been aware of this evolving family of malware and we're constantly improving our systems that detect it. We actively block installations of infected apps to keep users and their information safe."
Google released the latest security update for Android this month and it tackled more than 108 separate vulnerabilities in the operating system. So far this year, security updates for Android have closed more than 270 bugs.
The 31-year-old 800m and 1500m athlete from Cornwall competed in the 2014 Commonwealth Games and 2008 Olympics.
"I won't be able to run until at least April and then it's qualifying. It's a big ask," she told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"This was going to be my last push to make a real go at the Olympics - there was a real opportunity to go to Rio."
Simpson, who considered retiring in 2014, snapped her posterior tibial tendon - which supports the arch of the foot - in training.
She has been operated on by specialist foot surgeon James Calder, who has previously treated the likes of footballer Jack Wilshere.
"I'm not confident (of selection for the Olympics). It would be a miracle to do that now because I have to run the qualifying time and be ready for the trials, which is in seven months, and I've got three months off," added Simpson.
"I didn't feel any pain necessarily, but I heard something and my foot went limp - then I knew I'd done something quite major.
"It's hard to take the decision in your mind to stop, without having a reason to stop. It's hard to explain but when you have something like this, it takes the decision out of your hands."
The Welsh Government is consulting on two options to tackle congestion on the A494 and A55 around Queensferry and Deeside in Flintshire.
The blue route would change existing roads which residents have said would create noise and affect local routes.
The red option is to build a new link to the A55 at Northop which one farmer has said would spoil the countryside.
Northop farmer Robert Hodgkinson said: "The countryside can't speak for itself and there are very few to speak for it.
"We are told to protect the countryside so it is wrong that this countryside is lost."
A group of residents opposed to the blue route plans claimed the red route would affect fewer people.
A494 News Forum community group chairwoman Sue Clamp said it was unfair the blue route was being considered as similar options were rejected at a public inquiry in 2008 following a campaign by residents.
"People are asking why this has come up again," she said.
A public meeting is being held at St David's Hotel in Ewloe on Monday from 19:00 BST by the A494 News Forum group which is open to anyone.
The government consultation is open until June.
Jack Susianta was reported missing from his home in Hackney, east London, in July last year, an inquest heard.
His mother Anna said her son, who died in the canal at Walthamstow Marshes, had taken the drug MDMA at a festival the week before.
She said he had been "scared" and "trying to get away" from police.
Ms Susianta told St Pancras Coroner's Court her son was "sporty, enthusiastic and keen to enjoy life", but that he had a few anxieties and paranoia.
She spoke of how the family tried to keep Jack calm after he had taken MDMA at a music festival with friends in the previous week.
The family alerted the police when Jack punched his brother and best friend Sam in the face after finding the front door of their home locked.
He then "karate-kicked" his way through a window and fled. He was in his boxer shorts and socks.
The former teacher said: "When I called 999 I said he has got mental health issues. He is scared of the police and just trying to get away.
"In retrospect, after he died, I wished I had not called them. He might have had a better chance of survival."
Witnesses have claimed police refused to enter the water to save the teenager. But the Metropolitan Police have denied this, saying one officer risked his life and entered the water.
The inquest continues.
Paul White, 53, who was accused of falsely stating he had checked on Mr Rigg's health when he arrived at Brixton police station, denied perjury.
Jurors at Southwark Crown Court returned a unanimous verdict after deliberating for just over two hours.
Mr Rigg's sister, Marcia Rigg described the verdict as "shocking".
Mr Rigg, 40, suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and in the weeks before his death had not taken his medication.
He fell ill while being held in a police van on 21 August 2008 and later died in police custody.
Mr White told the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) in 2009 and then Mr Rigg's inquest in 2012 that he had checked on Mr Rigg in the police van.
But when confronted with CCTV footage, which showed he had not gone to the van, Mr White conceded he could not have visited the van when he said he had.
In a statement, Mr Rigg's family said the verdict "was a surprise".
Ms Rigg said: "I am devastated. The jury's verdict was a surprise to me and my family but we will continue to fight for full accountability for those officers who were on duty at Brixton police station.
"That a custody sergeant can give false evidence in connection with a death in custody, something he accepts he did, is a shocking state of affairs."
Deborah Coles, director of campaign group Inquest, criticised the IPCC's handling of the case.
"Sean Rigg's family have struggled at every stage of this eight-year process for honesty, truth and justice," she said.
"The failure of the IPCC to conduct an efficient, robust and competent investigation and the inexcusable delays in CPS decision-making have been exposed as a barrier to proper democratic police accountability. "
In a speech in Colorado, the Fed's number two policymaker was upbeat about the economy's recovery and prospects.
"We are close to our targets," he said on Sunday, adding that jobs growth had been "remarkably resilient".
He did not mention interest rates, but the remarks are likely to fuel debate about when they may rise.
Mr Fischer said this year's pace of jobs growth, although slower than in 2015, was "more than enough" for the labour market to continue to improve.
He told a conference in Aspen that inflation outside of food and energy prices was "within hailing distance" of 2%, the Fed's target rate.
In recent years, he said, the US economy had had to confront the Greek debt crisis, a rise in the strength of the dollar, and sporadic financial turbulence.
"Yet, even amid these shocks, the labour market continued to improve: employment has continued to increase, and the unemployment rate is currently close to most estimates of the natural rate," Mr Fischer said.
"I believe it is a remarkable, and perhaps under-appreciated, achievement that the economy has returned to near-full employment in a relatively short time after the great recession, given the historical experience following a financial crisis," he said.
One major concern, however, was the slowdown over the past few years in US productivity growth. If it persisted, Mr Fischer said, it would curtail jobs and wage growth.
He would not comment on the path for interest rates. There has been growing expectation that the Fed will raise rates this year - as long as the economy continues to strengthen.
Mr Fischer said he expected US growth "to pick up in coming quarters".
The comments come ahead of a speech that Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen is due to deliver on Friday, when she is expected to give guidance on interest rate policy.
Ms Yellen is also expected to sound a positive note. Economists said it was unlikely that Mr Fischer would want to say anything that could be contradicted on Friday.
"It would be quite an event if Fischer went out so close to Yellen's speech" and said something she disagreed with, former Fed board economist Roberto Perli told the Bloomberg news agency.
Eight other Taiwanese were deported to mainland China on Monday, prompting Taiwan to accuse Beijing of "extrajudicial abduction".
China has praised Kenya for supporting its "one-China policy".
Beijing views Taiwan - self-ruling since 1950 - as a renegade region that must be reunited with the mainland.
It insists that other countries cannot recognise both China and Taiwan, with the result that Taiwan has formal diplomatic ties with only a few countries.
Taiwan does not have formal diplomatic relations with Kenya.
Taiwan's foreign ministry said Kenyan police had forced 22 Taiwanese citizens, arrested on suspicion of fraud, to board a plane bound for China on Tuesday, despite protests from John Chen, Taiwan's representative to South Africa.
Another 15 Taiwanese, who had been acquitted in the case, were also coerced into boarding the plane, it said.
Officials said some of the deportees had tried to prevent Kenyan police from entering their jail cell, as video posted by Taiwan's Central News Agency appears to show.
The police broke down a wall, "threw tear gas" and brandished "assault rifles" to force them on to the plane, Antonio CS Chen, the chief of the West Asian and African Affairs section of Taiwan's foreign ministry, told reporters.
He said Chinese diplomatic officials had been present.
Taiwan's representatives from South Africa had rushed to Kenya to try to stop the deportations but they were prevented by the Kenyan authorities, who worked closely with Beijing, from gaining access to the Taiwanese.
Officials say the Taiwanese may have worked with Chinese nationals in a telecommunications fraud ring to cheat people in China of money. But regardless, they say, the two sides had worked out a verbal agreement not to extradite each other's people in such cases, following a similar incident involving the Philippines extraditing Taiwanese crime suspects to China in 2011.
It took nearly five months for Taiwan to negotiate their transfer back to Taiwan.
The fact that this is happening just a month before Taiwan's newly elected President Tsai Ing-wen takes office is no coincidence. It is widely believed that Beijing is doing this to put pressure on Tsai to recognize that the two sides are part of one China. She comes from a party that favours Taiwan's independence and has so far remained vague on the issue.
By taking the Taiwanese in Kenya, Beijing is sending a strong message to Ms Tsai that the honeymoon period for her is over and more of these headaches await her after she takes office if she continues to ignore China's demand.
Taiwan's first female leader, shy but steely
Kenyan government spokesman Eric Kiraithe defended the legal process that had led to the deportations.
He said Kenyan courts relied on information available and he rejected what he called media insinuations.
An interior ministry spokesman told Reuters news agency the 37 people had come "from China and we took them to China", adding that Kenya had "an obligation to ensure if people are here illegally they are taken back to where they came from".
When asked about the case, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters: "The one-China policy is an important pre-condition for bilateral relations with China and other countries. We commend Kenya for its upholding of this policy."
The former Communities Secretary wrote to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn calling for "John Clarke" to be suspended from the party for an anti-Israel tweet.
He mistook John Clarke of Nottinghamshire's Gedling Borough Council with John Clarke, who sits on Black Notley Parish Council in Essex.
The Essex councillor has denied he holds anti-Semitic views.
A Conservative spokesman said: "We apologise to Councillor Clarke for the mistake made."
Michael Payne, deputy leader of Gedling Borough Council, said he wanted Sir Eric to withdraw his "disgraceful" comments.
He said: "It's an outrageous slur against John and we're calling on Mr Pickles to apologise personally and publicly for this."
"They've clearly done research in writing this letter, but haven't done the basics. Apologise now - you are plain wrong."
Mr Corbyn launched an independent inquiry into anti-Semitism and other forms of racism in the Labour Party in April 2016 headed by Baroness Chakrabati, former head of the campaign group Liberty.
Her report found the party was not overrun by anti-Semitism but there was evidence of "minority hateful or ignorant attitudes and behaviours".
Sir Eric, Conservative MP for Brentwood and Ongar, wrote in the letter to Mr Corbyn: "This is an opportunity for you to demonstrate that Labour is committed to the new definition of anti-Semitism.
"Failure to do so would be an appalling dereliction of duty to Jewish people across the country and will raise serious questions about your commitment to stamping out anti-Semitism in Labour."
Sir Eric, chairman of Conservative Friends of Israel, was awarded a knighthood in 2015.
Samantha Kerr came closest to scoring for Australia in the first half, hitting a volley into the side netting.
Formiga almost gave Brazil the lead in the second half, heading onto the post, before substitute Kyah Simon grabbed the winner from close range after goalkeeper Luciana spilled the ball.
Australia face the winners of Tuesday's game between Japan and Netherlands.
Brazil topped their group after winning all three games, but came undone in Moncton after conceding their only goal of the tournament.

Earlier in the tournament, striker Marta, 29, became the World Cup's leading scorer with 15 goals, but she was unable to inspire her team to a positive result.
"We controlled the game, the statistics show that, the chances showed that but we lost the game and we are out," said Brazil coach Vadao.
"Australia were very efficient and clinical when it counted with the goal, congratulations to them."
Now aged 65, Mr McGuinness will be 70 by the time the next Northern Ireland Assembly term is due to conclude.
However, he said he still has the "energy of a 20-year-old" and that very few people could "keep up" with him.
He said he recognises that no one goes on forever, but added his age is less important than his energy and health.
Mr McGuinness, who has held the post of Northern Ireland deputy first minister since 2007, made his remarks on BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics programme.
Both the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) will contest this year's Northern Ireland Assembly elections with newly-appointed leaders.
Speaking about his own party, Mr McGuinness said: "I think Sinn Féin always has to look at the whole issue of transition and we are looking seriously at that, but I have the energy of a 20-year-old, there's not too many people that can actually keep up with me."
When he was asked about the possibility of him standing for political office again in 2021, Mr McGuinness did not rule it out.
"That would be something that I would have to seriously consider at that stage, but I certainly intend to lead Sinn Féin into this election," he said.
He also told Inside Politics that his party will mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme later this year in an appropriate and respectful manner.
He said he regarded this as a priority in the current year of significant anniversaries.
He predicted that Sinn Féin would get a "substantially increased mandate" south of the Irish border after the forthcoming general election in the Republic of Ireland.
He said he believes there is a "strong possibility" that Sinn Féin will be in government in Dublin by the summer.
Mr McGuinness reiterated that if Sinn Féin emerges from the Northern Ireland assembly elections in May as the largest single party, he will immediately offer to change the title of the top two jobs at Stormont to "joint first ministers" of Northern Ireland.
Inside Politics will be broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster at 18:05 GMT on Friday 15 January and will be repeated at 13:35 GMT on Sunday 16 January.
He again rejected allegations that Russia had interfered in the 2016 US presidential election.
And he said sanctions against Russia were also hurting the US and Europe.
Mr Trump had voiced hopes for improved relations with Moscow, but he has been dogged by claims of links between his election campaign and Russia.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and both houses of the US Congress are investigating alleged Russian interference in the election.
Russia 'tried to hijack US election', Senate hearing told
Mr Putin, speaking at an Arctic forum in Arkhangelsk in northern Russia, said he would be "glad" to meet Mr Trump at a summit of the Arctic Council in Helsinki in May.
"Both side should prepare such events," he said. "If not, then such a meeting could take place within the framework of the usual meetings, at the G20."
Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, whose country is due to take the rotating leadership of the Arctic Council, said he would be honoured to host such a meeting.
The G20 summit of world powers is set to convene in the northern German city of Hamburg in early July.
Mr Putin criticised "endless and groundless" allegations that Russia interfered in the US election, and what he termed the use of the "Russian card" in US politics.
"Do we want to completely cut relations?'' he asked. "Do we want to bring the situation to what it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1960s?
"I very much hope that sometime - the sooner the better - the situation will return to normal. I very much hope that we'll... improve Russian-American relations, for the good of our peoples, and for the whole world."
Mr Putin said he would support President Trump in fighting terrorism, and co-operate with the Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency.
He added that he was ready to work with the new US presidential administration on fighting Islamic State in Syria.
Earlier this year, Slovenia offered to host a meeting between Mr Putin and Mr Trump. Mr Putin offered thanks, but said it would depend on Washington.
Western nations imposed sanctions on Russia over its annexation of the Crimea and its role in the Ukraine crisis.
Meanwhile, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has criticised the BBC for reporting on the alleged role of a Russian embassy worker in Mr Trump's election as US president.
BBC Washington correspondent Paul Wood quotes reliable sources as saying that the US government had identified Mikhail Kalugin - who left Washington last year - as a spy.
Ms Zakharova condemned the "false and absurd claims" in what she described as "a fake from the BBC and its Washington correspondent".
Geraldine Rice and Vasundhara Kamble are now supporting the SDLP having resigned as Alliance councillors.
Speaking after her party's election manifesto launch, Naomi Long said she used the word "balloons" on a private social media site.
"I think most people will be surprised all I said was balloons," she said.
Mrs Long said the two former councillors had set out to "damage" her party.
She also responded to a Belfast Telegraph story which reported that the Alliance Party had encouraged members to ring the BBC Talkback programme's election phone-in with "softball " questions for her.
The newspaper said the party's head of communications, Scott Jamison, had used a social media site to say that the party could "hijack " the BBC Radio Ulster phone-in and suggested party members should "feel free to use a fake name and location if you're so inclined".
Ms Long said the story was "a storm in a teacup", adding that the posts were made in a "tongue-in-cheek manner".
In response to the Belfast Telegraph story a BBC spokesperson said its radio phone-in programmes regularly attracted a high volume of callers who wanted to share their views live on air.
"Our production teams do their best to assess each caller to ensure they contribute to a fair and balanced discussion which our presenters chair live," said the spokesperson.
The Alliance Party's 85-page manifesto - entitled How to change Northern Ireland for Good - includes plans for political reform, the economy, education and mitigating the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland.
It calls for an end to the abuse of Petitions of Concern at Stormont. The cross-community voting system triggered by Petitions of Concern was introduced as a guarantee against majority rule in Northern Ireland.
Alliance wants to introduce a single equality bill and says it will continue to campaign for special Brexit status for Northern Ireland.
The party also wants to expand integrated education and opposes any repeal of the Human Rights Act.
Ms Long said she was suffering from "lurgy ", but joked with journalists that this was different to the "man flu" that DUP leader Arlene Foster said precluded her from taking questions from the press at the DUP's manifesto launch on Monday.
In contrast, Naomi Long said she would happily answer reporters' queries.
She said next week's election was about "choosing people fit to govern".
The party had eight MLAS in the last Assembly and Ms Long said her target was to hold on to those seats next week.
She said after the election there will be negotiations and said the last thing Northern Ireland needed was "another patch-up arrangement".
Previously, motorists in some police force areas could avoid points by taking a remedial driving course.
But ministers believe it is not a tough enough measure to deter people from using a hand-held phone while driving.
They have also confirmed plans to raise fines for offences from £100 to £200 and penalty points from three to six.
The scrapping of the driving course option is among several measures announced in a government response to a consultation on punishments for drivers caught using hand-held phones.
The government first announced in September that it was going to increase fines and double penalty points.
Details of the new measures, which are due to take effect next year, follow the jailing last month of lorry driver Tomasz Kroker, who killed a mother and three children while distracted by his phone.
Ministers will also launch a consultation on dangerous driving offences by the end of the year.
Speaking during a visit to India, Mrs May said she wanted to make using a mobile phone at the wheel as socially unacceptable as drink-driving.
She said the government would work with the public to "raise awareness" of the dangers of driving and dialling.
She said that punishments for drivers who killed and maimed people because their attention had been on their phone should be made to "fit the crime", as a deterrent to other motorists.
The number of fines issued for motorists caught using a mobile phone illegally has plummeted by 84% since 2011.
Some 16,900 drivers were handed fixed-penalty notices in England and Wales last year, compared with 123,100 in 2011, Home Office data shows.
Motoring groups believe the decline is due to a 27% fall in the number of full-time dedicated roads policing officers in England and Wales (excluding London) between 2010 and 2015.
Department for Transport figures show that a driver being impaired or distracted by their phone had been a contributory factor in 440 accidents in Britain last year, including 22 which were fatal and 75 classed as serious.
Mrs May said: "Sadly, we have seen too many times the devastating and heart-breaking consequences of using a mobile phone while driving.
"A moment's distraction can wreck the lives of others forever.
"We are determined to make our roads safer by taking action against those who flout the law and put other people at risk."
Steve Gooding, director of motoring research charity the RAC Foundation, said: "By ruling out courses and doubling the fine, ministers are reflecting public concern and showing they want to stamp out a potentially lethal activity before it becomes entrenched behaviour for a growing number of drivers."
The measures will not affect Northern Ireland, where drivers are currently given three penalty points and a £60 fine for the offence.
The Department for Infrastructure has said there are no plans to change this, but it "will continue to monitor changes being made in Britain to see what can be learned".
It said it was evaluating whether to launch an investigation.
Pitt's wife Angelina Jolie filed for divorce on Monday citing irreconcilable differences.
Jolie has asked for physical custody of the couple's six children, asking the judge to give Pitt visitation rights.
The FBI told the BBC: "In response to your inquiry regarding allegations within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States; specifically, an aircraft carrying Mr Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued."
Pitt released a statement to People magazine after Jolie filed for divorce, saying he was "saddened", and adding: "What matters most now is the well-being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
Jolie's lawyer, Robert Offer, said the decision to divorce had been made "for the health of the family".
Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services said it could not confirm or deny whether it was investigating Pitt because of confidentiality laws.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has said it is not investigating actor Brad Pitt in connection with reports of allegations regarding his children, following claims they were looking into the matter.
They told the BBC: "The LAPD is not handling any report or allegations into child abuse for Mr Brad Pitt."

Liverpool are yet to open talks with Allen, who was named in Uefa's team of Euro 2016 as Wales reached their first semi-final at a major tournament.
But Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is eager to resolve the 26-year-old's future.
Allen, who joined from Swansea in 2012, wants first-team games after starting only eight in the league in 2015-16.
Liverpool rejected an £8m offer from Swansea City for their former player in June and it is understood the Welsh club are still interested in Allen.
Allen is open to the idea of staying at Liverpool should he be guaranteed a more regular starts at Anfield but Klopp preferred Jordan Henderson, Lucas, Emre Can and James Milner in midfield last season.
The Wales international has had a rollercoaster Liverpool career since joining the club for £15m in the summer of 2012.
He was part of the squad that helped Liverpool gain second place in the Premier League in 2013-14 but has often been the brunt of fan criticism.
Allen did score a late equaliser in a 3-3 draw with leaders Arsenal in January 2016 before scoring the winning penalty in a shootout against Stoke City to send Liverpool to a League Cup final against Manchester City.
Allen is currently on holiday after Euro 2016 and is not due back in Liverpool training until late July.
The 26-year-old Brazilian's Bluebirds' contract included a release clause understood to be around £2 million.
"We'd like to take this opportunity to thank Fabio for his contribution during his two and a half years at the club and wish him the very best for his future," Cardiff said.
Bluebirds boss Paul Trollope confirmed yesterday a deal was close.
"He's in talks with them and within the next 24 to 48 hours that might be concluded," he told BBC Radio Wales after the 1-0 defeat by Bristol Rovers.
Cardiff chief executive Ken Choo has already said players are likely to leave the Cardiff City Stadium before others are brought in.
"We could see a lot of movement in the last week of August, when the transfer window is about to close," said Choo.
"Everything is still up in the air.
"We have a few targets to go but it really depends on players leaving as well, players who we feel should move on."
The Bluebirds are closing in on a deal to sign Wales midfielder Emyr Huws.

The buyer is an international investment firm, Cerberus Capital Management, based in New York.
It is understood they paid more than £1bn.
Nama's properties include office blocks, shopping developments, pubs and hotels and development land, and the Northern Ireland deal represents its largest single transaction.
Nama (National Asset Management Agency) was set up to handle property loans made by the Republic of Ireland's banks before the financial crash.
The Irish state broadcaster, RTÉ, reported the deal was for more than £1.3bn.
Nama had previously revealed that it paid around £1.1bn for the loans when it acquired them from the Irish banks.
However, as the loans originally had a value of £4.5bn, Irish taxpayers will still have lost out as ultimately they paid for the recapitalisation of the banks.
First Minister Peter Robinson said the sale was "excellent news for the Northern Ireland economy".
"For some time I have made clear the danger to the local economy of leaving valuable assets undeveloped and the threat that these posed to otherwise profitable businesses. I believe that this deal can be of real benefit to our economy," Mr Robinson said.
By John CampbellBBC News NI Economics & Business Editor
Nama was a huge player in the local property market.
It controlled loans related to office blocks, shopping developments, hotels and pubs.
It was set up during the Republic of Ireland's banking crisis when the Dublin-based banks were collapsing under the weight of huge, often toxic, property loans made during the boom.
Nama bought over all those loans. Its job has been to get its money back by selling the properties or the loans themselves.
These loans have now been sold at a big discount to Cerberus Capital - the deal is understood to be around £1bn.
This effectively gives Cerberus control over almost 1,000 properties.
This is likely to lead to greatly increased activity in the local property market as the new owner manages its portfolio, does deals with borrowers and makes sales.
"I am grateful to the authorities in the Republic for the way in which this transaction has been handled and the importance of assisting the Northern Ireland economy."
The first minister said he had spoken to Nama chairman Frank Daly and former United States Vice President Dan Quayle of Cerberus Capital Management on Thursday evening.
He said the conversation with Cerberus provided "great encouragement that they will work with the developers and the executive to the benefit of all concerned".
"Dan Quayle offered to send a team to Belfast to meet with us to discuss the way forward and we intend to take him up on that offer.
"In the weeks to come the Northern Ireland Executive will work with Cerberus to ensure that the deal can help kick-start growth in this area of our economy."
Michael Noonan, the Irish finance minister, said: "Today's announcement by Nama of the sale of their Northern Ireland loan book to Cerberus is very good news for the Irish taxpayer, Nama and the Northern Irish economy.
"This is the biggest loan sale that Nama have completed to date and highlights the progress the agency is making in generating a return on its assets for the Irish taxpayer."
Sinn Féin's finance spokesperson, Pearse Doherty TD (member of Irish parliament), said he was concerned that Nama had not got the best price for the portfolio.
He said: "This policy of accelerated disposals seems reckless to me.
"A gigantic volume of loans and money has just transferred hands and the ball seems to have begun rolling on this only a couple of short months ago.
"Fire sales at the cusp of property price and economic recovery ring every alarm bell there is.
"While I support Nama's endeavours to dispose of loans effectively, I am concerned that, with six years to go until the agency's wind-up, they may be jumping that bit too soon at interested investors."
Charlie Dunn died in hospital after being found submerged at Bosworth Water Park in Leicestershire on 23 July.
A police statement said the couple, believed to be Charlie's mother Lynsey Dunn and stepfather Paul Smith, were "effectively no longer under arrest".
However, the force emphasised the investigation into the boy's death was still ongoing.
The couple were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence.
The 50-metre high structures would connect a proposed nuclear power station to the electricity network.
National Grid agreed to bury cables within the Lake District National Park, but for parts of the route the pylons would be close to its boundaries.
Cumbria Tourism said this would impact nearby scenic areas.
The organisation said it did not oppose the National Grid's development plans in principle and welcomed the revised plans to bury them within the national park boundaries.
However, it fears those pylons close to the national park might have a detrimental effect on the tourism industry.
A public consultation on the proposed route from Moorside, to Heysham, Lancashire, is under way.
Jeanette Unsworth, from National Grid, said: "What's very important to this project is the cost we pass on to the bill payer.
"This project isn't paid for by National Grid, it's paid for by all of us through our electricity bills, so we've got to strike a balance between protecting those environments and keeping energy bills affordable for our users."
Author Patricia Cornwell asked experts from the University of Leicester to track down his last victim, Mary Kelly.
Those who located and identified the 15th Century king under a car park in 2012 were approached to find Kelly's grave and analyse her remains.
The team said likely relatives had yet to be identified and also confirmed her bones may have been lost forever.
Jack the Ripper's violent crimes sent shockwaves through Victorian society in the autumn of 1888 with a series of increasingly grisly murders in London's impoverished East End.
Ripper historian Richard Jones said: "Mary Kelly is thought to be the last victim and is the most enigmatic.
"Almost nothing is known of her for certain - not even her name. All the information we have comes from what she told friends, and we know from the other murders that aliases and tall tales were common."
She was buried in St Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Leytonstone, on 19 November 1888. Despite many claims, the Ripper has never been identified.
US crime writer Cornwell, who has just published a second book on the Ripper, said: "My focus is on the victims and I want to know what they can tell us.
"Mary Kelly's remains, in particular, are of enormous interest because he spent more time with her body than any (of the other victims) because she was indoors.
"In addition we could give her the dignity she deserves and perhaps, through DNA, satisfy claims that she has descendants alive today."
Dr Turi King, who confirmed Richard III's bones through DNA matches with surviving relatives, had decided more evidence was needed to identify potential descendants of Kelly.
She said: "If we could locate the remains and securely identify them, then analysing the DNA would mean screening of potential relatives could go ahead.
"But, crucially, you would need to show there was a good chance of finding those remains and be more confident we have relatives to test."
Archaeologist Mathew Morris and genealogist Prof Kevin Schürer also searched archives and surveyed the cemetery.
This confirmed the marker for Kelly's grave was only in an approximate location, and the area - set aside for local authority burials - had been heavily reused.
Ultimately the team decided tracing the grave, even if it had survived, would require a "herculean" effort with limited chance of success.
Dr King said: "Patricia was absolutely fine with it. She got us in to look at the issues and accepted our findings."
The figure is a substantial increase on the previous year, when the Seagulls recorded a loss of £10.44m.
The larger loss is mainly because of investment in the playing squad, as Albion finished third in the Championship table last season.
"Our ambition remains for the club's teams to play at the highest level possible," chairman Tony Bloom said.
"As chairman (and lifelong supporter of the club), I will do everything I possibly can to achieve that and remain fully committed."
Brighton say they remain compliant with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, which permit a club's losses to reach an aggregate of £39m over a three-season period.
"Any Championship club without parachute payments wishing to compete for promotion will inevitably make significant losses," Bloom added.
"It remains a delicate balancing act for the board as we strive to achieve our ultimate aim."
Iain Dale and anti-nuclear campaigner Stuart Holmes tussled as Mr Dale tried to get Mr Holmes's banner out of shot during a live television interview.
Mr Dale went to Brighton police station on Tuesday where he was questioned about a possible offence of assault.
Mr Holmes has also been interviewed on suspicion of common assault.
The Labour Party is currently in Brighton for its annual conference.
The confrontation was filmed by members of the media covering the arrival of Mr McBride, who was being interviewed by ITV's Daybreak programme when it broke out.
Mr Dale, of Biteback Publishers, who is due to return to Brighton police station on Thursday, wrote on his blog: "In some ways I have committed the cardinal sin of becoming the story myself, rather than my author.
"Anyone who has seen the pictures and video can see that there was no real violence," said Mr Dale, who is better known as a political blogger.
"I certainly didn't hurt the guy. He threw a punch at me but missed, and the only injury was when the man's dog bit him on the bum."
The men separated and dusted themselves down before Mr Holmes, a familiar face to conference-goers for 30 years, again tried to edge his way into view of the cameras.
Mr Holmes said that when he spotted the cameras, he had assumed they were for party leader Ed Miliband, whom he was keen to confront.
He said Mr McBride had seen his placard and appeared "happy with it".
"I was not ruining the interview, I was just in the background. I was not saying anything.
"Then this giant of a guy turned up and grabbed hold of me. I struggled free and in the process we ended up on the floor."
He said he would be talking to his lawyers next month but was unlikely to take the matter further.
Sussex Police said Mr Dale had been questioned about his version of events.
Det Sgt Stephen French said: "A man was exercising his right to protest in a public place when this incident took place.
"A man has been interviewed in relation to an offence of common assault and is due to attend Brighton police station again on Thursday."
IS claimed via its news agency that its militants had captured two Turkish soldiers in al-Dana village near al-Bab in northern Syria.
Turkey has not commented on the claim.
The Turkish military is leading an offensive to clear IS and Kurdish forces from the strategic al-Bab town.
Since launching a ground offensive against IS in September, Turkey has become an increasing target for the militants.
Jihadist cells are believed to have carried out several bombings in the country over the past year.
Recently, an audio recording, purportedly by the leader of IS, was released in which he called on his fighters to attack Turkey and its forces in Syria and Iraq.
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Istanbul says that although the Turkish government currently has broad support for its military offensive in Syria, that support could wane if its army sustains more losses.
IS is believed to have captured a Turkish solider in the summer of 2015, with his location still unknown.
Steven Jackson and Michelle Higgins deny killing and dismembering Kimberley MacKenzie in October last year.
Ashley Edwards QC told a jury in her closing speech that the couple had committed an act of "depravity".
Defence QC Donald Findlay, representing Mr Jackson, said the Crown had not proved the charge against his client.
Ms Higgins defence QC, Mark Stewart, said his client had admitted helping Mr Jackson with the disposal of the body parts, but denied having anything to do with the murder or dismemberment.
Ms Edwards told the jury at the High Court in Glasgow: "It does not seem to be disputed that both accused took part in dismembering and disposing of the body.
"Who but the murderers would dismember a body, who but the murderers would carry out an act of such depravity?
"Each accused says the other did it. They are both right - they both did it.
"The evidence shows a murderous attack with multiple weapons. This was a sustained and brutal attack perpetrated by both accused."
Mr Findlay said in his closing speech: "Steven Jackson has not challenged that he played a part in the dismembering and decapitation of Kimberley MacKenzie and the dumping of her body parts in various places.
"Does that mean he is a murderer? The answer to that is no, no, no and no again."
Mr Stewart said: "The question is who did attack Kimberley MacKenzie?
"It was Steven Jackson. He admitted it not just once.
"He admitted it to Barbara Whyte his ex-wife and to the police.
"Mr Findlay said there is no motive. Perhaps there is no motive, perhaps he's just bad.
"If Steven Jackson had not committed murder why would he say he had?"
Mr Jackson, and Ms Higgins, are accused of murdering Ms MacKenzie by repeatedly striking her on the head, neck and body with a hammer or similar instrument at 40a Market Street, Montrose, on 27 October last year.
They are also accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by dismembering her body using a saw, knives and a screwdriver and wrapping parts of her body in bin liners and bags and hiding them in bins at 40 Market Street, 73 William Phillips Drive and two other sites in Montrose between 27 October and 4 November, 2015.
The trial before judge Lady Rae continues.
The city received the funding for its Nextbike scheme from Sustrans Scotland, which encourages cycling travel.
The 11 new stations were officially launched by Minister for Transport and the Islands, Humza Yousaf at Stirling's Albert Halls.
The scheme's expansion has increased the number of bikes available to rent in Stirling from 100 to 160.
The investment was secured by local charity Forth Environment Link.
The charity's director, Clara Walker said: "Since its initial launch the scheme has been hugely popular.
"We've recorded over 13,000 journeys and usage is growing by 40% year on year."
Bridge of Allan railway station and Castleview park & ride are among the new locations included in the scheme, which has been running in Stirling since 2014.
Stirling Provost Mike Robbins said: "Cycling is one of the best ways to see and get round our beautiful city.
"Doubling the number of Nextbike stations in and around the city at key locations such Teith House and The Peak will make it easier for our staff to use bikes to get to and from meetings.
"New bike stations at the park and ride sites will also open up the opportunity for staff to park their cars there and cycle into the city for work."
The 23-year-old became Portuguese football's record signing when he joined Porto in a £15.1m deal from Marseille seven months ago.
He has played for France Under-21s, but could also play for Belgium.
The Potters have let Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel leave his loan spell early to join Dutch club PSV.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The 23-year-old, capped twice by the Netherlands, had played 21 times for Stoke during a season-long loan spell, but he will now be in Eindhoven until the summer.
Stoke's previous record deal was winger Xherdan Shaqiri, who cost £12m in the summer.
Imbula, who started his career at Guingamp, played in both of Porto's Champions League games against Chelsea this season.
Potters chairman Peter Coates told BBC Radio 5 live: "If he is as good as we think he is, he'll keep his value. You've got to think of it from a business point of view. We want him to be worth more than we paid for him.
"This move has been on and off for a few days. We said we were withdrawing the offer, then they came back."
Stoke midfielder Charlie Adam told BBC Sport: "We played Porto in a friendly in Germany last summer and I thought he was excellent.
"He went off injured because I gave him a little kick and gave him a dead leg, but he showed against us that he has the right qualities to play in England.
"I would say he is a Patrick Vieira type - a strong and powerful midfielder, a real driving force in there and perfect for the Premier League."

The bank bought up assets cheaply from failing businesses it claimed to be helping, the confidential files reveal.
Staff could boost their bonuses by finding firms which could be squeezed in what it called a "dash for cash".
RBS said it had let some small business customers down in the past but denied it deliberately caused them to fail.
The cache of documents, passed by a whistleblower to BuzzFeed News and BBC Newsnight, support controversial allegations in a report three years ago by the government's then entrepreneur in residence Lawrence Tomlinson.
He accused the taxpayer-owned bank of deliberately putting viable businesses on a path to destruction while aiming to pick up their assets on the cheap.
The documents show the bank's efforts to make money out of struggling businesses were ramped up after the 2008 financial crisis.
More than 12,000 companies were pushed into the bank's controversial "turnaround" division - the so-called Global Restructuring Group (GRG) - in the wake of the crash.
Customers could be put into the division simply for falling out with the bank.
Between 2007 and 2012, the value of loans to customers in the GRG increased five-fold to more than £65bn.
Many of the small business owners affected say they have not only lost their businesses but also experienced family break-ups and deteriorating physical and mental health due to the stress of their treatment at the hands of the bank. Others have been made homeless or bankrupted.
Architect Andi Gibbs borrowed £1.3m from RBS in 2008 for a property development aimed at regenerating a drug-ridden red light district of Norwich.
As a condition of his loan the bank insisted he purchase a financial product supposed to protect against rising interest rates.
It was mis-sold and when rates fell, it started draining cash from his business. A year later RBS told him it had done a new valuation of his property - it was now worth too little compared to his loan.
His firm would have to go to what it said was a "turnaround" division - the Global Restructuring Group.
In the GRG Andi faced higher interest fees and threats to pull the plug. He ended up losing his business and says the bank cost him his health, his home and his marriage.
"What they have said reads like they now realize they have destroyed legitimate businesses. I don't believe they had any interest in understanding the businesses and I think they are kind of admitting to that," he said. "Banks are there to help, not to destroy."
The documents confirm that bank staff were rewarded with higher bonuses based on fees collected for "restructuring" business customers' debts - cutting the size of their loans and getting cash or other assets from the customer.
In what was described by an RBS executive as "Project Dash for Cash", staff were asked to search for companies that could be restructured, or have their interest rates bumped up.
The documents also show that where business customers had not defaulted on their loans, bank staff could find a way to "provoke a default".
Many business owners complained that unrealistically low valuations were used to claim they had breached their borrowing limits and force them into the GRG.
From there the bank sought to squeeze cash from the businesses through higher interest and fees, pressuring customers to sell assets to pay down loans, taking an equity stake in their businesses, or by pushing the business into administration.
The bank told Newsnight: "RBS has been very clear that GRG's role was to protect the bank's position... In the aftermath of the financial crisis we did not always meet our own high standards and we let some of our SME customers down.
"Since that time, RBS has become a different bank and significant structural and cultural changes have been put in place, including how we deal with customers in financial distress."
But the bank insisted that a detailed review of millions of pages of documents had found no evidence that "the bank artificially distressed otherwise viable SME businesses or deliberately caused them to fail."
The senior RBS executives in charge of GRG, Derek Sach and Chris Sullivan, repeatedly claimed before MPs in 2014, in response to Mr Tomlinson's allegations, that GRG was "not a profit centre".
That denial was repeated before MPs 27 times, with executives claiming it was "totally inappropriate" to call it a profit centre.
Weeks later, then RBS chairman Sir Philip Hampton accepted it was a profit centre, saying there had been a "lack of clarity" but said it was "an honest mistake".
However in a confidential internal document approved two years before that appearance by Mr Sach, GRG was said to be "a major contributor to the bank's bottom line".
The documents show GRG's income from fees exceeded its expenses by a wide margin, returning a profit of £1.2bn in just one year, 2011.
They also show RBS's own auditor, Deloitte, was concerned there was a "reputational risk" of "perceived conflicts of interest".
Derek Sach, the global head of GRG, was on the one hand running a division that purported to help business customers turn themselves around. On the other, he sat on a committee at West Register, the property arm of RBS, that decided what customer assets to buy for the bank.
RBS commissioned the law firm, Clifford Chance, to report on Mr Tomlinson's allegations in what it billed as an independent report.
The 2014 report said it had found no evidence to support most of his accusations - for example, that West Register was deliberately targeting client's assets.
However, the documents show West Register was being passed information about properties held by customers transferred to GRG even before the companies had agreed to sell them, apparently undermining that conclusion.
They also contradict claims by RBS that most of the customers returned to normal banking after a spell in its turnaround division.
In 2012 the bank had transferred 1,483 business customers to GRG. Only 452 cases were returned to normal banking.
The Financial Conduct Authority was ordered in 2013 by then Business Secretary Vince Cable to conduct a so-called "skilled persons report" into Mr Tomlinson's allegations.
The report, carried out by two firms of consultants, Mazar's and Promontory, has been completed and passed to the Financial Conduct Authority, but FCA chief executive Andrew Bailey has refused to name a date of publication.
Mr Tomlinson, who published the 2013 report on RBS's treatment of small businesses, said: "These documents are massively significant in that they finally, for me, prove what was in my report.
"I think RBS should just come clean and say yes, GRG was a profit centre and it did act against the best interest of the UK as a whole."

BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the supporter told the left wing MP "a few weeks ago" he had not entered with the intention of winning.
"The message was, this has gone far enough, time to stop", she said.
Mr Corbyn's campaign said he was standing to be the next prime minister.
"The question is, who will be the Tory candidate?" a spokeswoman added.
His team would not confirm such a conversation took place, but would not deny it.
This gives an intriguing picture of how despite the hype, even some of his senior supporters have concerns about his mission and its long term impact on Labour's fortunes. As the former Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, who knows Corbyn well, suggested, perhaps the person who is most terrified about Jeremy Corbyn winning is Jeremy Corbyn.
Despite the clamour of the summer, there is not enough reliable data, nor understanding of the implications of the new expanded electorate to predict the result with any confidence.
And in the last couple of weeks the fizz has gone out of the Corbyn campaign and both Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham's teams report support coming their way.
But if Mr Corbyn does win, he may well be haunted by a sense that he didn't really want the job in the first place.

The left wing MP entered the leadership contest as an outsider, but has become a frontrunner, triggering warnings from senior party figures about him winning.
It is the final full day of campaigning in the contest to succeed Ed Miliband as Labour leader, with Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall all hoping to defeat Mr Corbyn.
Mr Corbyn, who became a Labour activist while working in Shropshire, has said he will seek to broaden the party's electoral appeal, insisting there can be no "no-go areas" for the party.
"If I am elected leader I will ensure that Labour is as much a party in the communities like the one in which I was born, as it is for people in inner-city constituencies like the one I represent," he wrote in an article for the LabourList website.
"Too often the old machine politics writes off "the Tory shires", abandoning communities struggling with issues such as housing costs, public service cuts and social exclusion just as those in inner cities are. If Labour doesn't offer those communities solutions, no one else will."
Voting closes at 12:00 on Thursday, with the winner announced on Saturday.
Amid reports that some people have yet to receive their ballot papers, Mr Burnham's campaign manager has criticised the party for closing a helpline for people trying to vote in the contest.
Michael Dugher, the MP for Barnsley East, said this was "unbelievable" but Labour said the helpline had been replaced by a recorded message explaining how to vote. | Labour leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn was urged by one of his most senior supporters to withdraw from the contest - but the message was rebuffed, the BBC understands. | 34,198,261 | 647 | 40 | false |
The prince will spend 15 days touring seven island nations as the Queen's representative.
The governor general of Antigua welcomed him with a reception at the newly restored Clarence House.
The prince re-opened the building - designed for King William IV when governor general in the 18th Century.
He also read out a message from the Queen in which she recalled her "fond memories" of visiting Antigua on three occasions between 1966 and 1985,
The prince also congratulated the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on their 69th wedding anniversary.

Voting is by telephone only or via the website http://www.bbc.co.uk/spoty
Telephone Vote: Voters in the UK can choose either to call from their landline using the long (11-digit) number for the contender/s of their choice or from their mobile phones using the short (7-digit) number for the contender/s of their choice. Please note that callers from the Channel Islands and Isle of Man should call from their landlines using the long (11-digit) number to avoid higher mobile charges, as the short (7-digit) numbers are not available in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man for reasons outside of the BBC's control.
Please do not attempt to vote by calling a 7-digit short number from a landline.
Vote lines are opened and closed at the times specified on the programme. Please do not call before the lines open or after the lines have closed as your vote will not be counted. Please be aware voting times may change.
Calls to the long (11-digit) number from landlines and mobiles cost 15p plus your network's access charge. To vote from your mobile in the UK, please call the short (7-digit) number announced for your chosen contender/s. Calls from mobiles to the short (7-digit) number should cost less than calling the long (11-digit) number from your mobile so please, if you can, dial the short (7-digit) number from your mobile. You cannot text and you cannot dial the short (7-digit) number from a landline.
Online Vote: Viewers in the UK (including Channel Islands and Isle of Man) will also be able to vote online by accessing the following link http://www.bbc.co.uk/spoty. Voting online will require to register/log in with BBC iD https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/id/signin and you will not be charged. Please check your broadband or mobile contract to check the cost of using data services.
The online vote will be open during the same period as the telephone lines.
The results of the telephone vote and the online vote will be aggregated prior to any announcements.
If you are watching on BBC iPlayer, following through a website or any other time shift, catch up or on demand service you should not vote since the lines and online vote may have closed.
In order to vote on Sports Personality of the Year 2015 you will need to register here first for a BBC iD https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/id/signin.
If your call was to the long (11-digit) number from either your landline or mobile phone, you will have been charged 15p plus your network's access charge for voting. The access charge is set by your telephone service provider and can be found by calling them or visiting their web site. More information about how these numbers work can be found at http://www.ukcalling.info.
We note that these charges have changed since the Sports Personality of the Year 2014. This is a result of reforms implemented by Ofcom to the way calls are charged by telephone service providers with effect from 1 July 2015.
We state clearly on screen and verbally when the voting period opens and closes and that callers should wait until that time before casting their vote. There is a small chance that if you called outside this time that another network other than BT would charge for this call. If you have been charged, then notify your service provider immediately.
All voters are asked to dial carefully. The BBC has implemented a thorough testing schedule before each show to ensure correct audio is playing on the correct contender line. If you have a phone bill you can send us, we can check whether the number you called corresponds with the correct contender audio.
Because the phone lines are very active throughout the UK when the vote window opens, some callers may experience the engaged tone - especially those in rural/remote areas. We recommend that you call back within a couple of minutes when the traffic through your local exchange would have subsided. Engaged tones are controlled at local telephone exchanges and are something that the BBC cannot control. You can also opt to vote online via http://www.bbc.co.uk/spoty.
If after dialling the first four numbers of the premium rate number you heard a dead tone - then this means that you are premium rate barred and you should check with your telephone service provider about lifting the ban if you wish to vote in Sports Personality of the Year 2015. You can also opt to vote online via http://www.bbc.co.uk/spoty.
Given the high volume of viewers and callers that some TV voting shows generate, it is possible for a very large number of people to pick up the phone simultaneously when the onscreen announcement is made. Sometimes this can cause some callers to get an engaged tone for short periods of time immediately after an onscreen announcement; however, any congestion tends to clear quite quickly. You can also opt to vote online via http://www.bbc.co.uk/spoty
No method of voting offered is available outside of the UK (including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man).
Like all the big shows, Sports Personality of the Year 2015 uses a voting system where at least the first eight digits of the phone numbers are the same for all contenders, with only the last few digits of the phone number changing depending on who you want to vote for.
As the telephone network only uses the first eight digits in a telephone number to route calls to the voting system, it is impossible for calls for different contenders to be treated differently.
Once calls reach the voting system they are answered in turn, on a first-come, first-served basis. Each answering point is instructed to accept votes for all contenders; there are no dedicated answering points for individual contenders.
This means that your chance of getting through to vote will never depend on the contender you wish to vote for.
Mobile Short Dial Codes (MSDCs) are the numbers to call (not text) from UK mobile phones where callers are charged a guaranteed fixed price for the call (15p for Sports Personality of the Year 2015 voting) regardless of their UK mobile telephone service provider. The MSDC numbers are shorter than a normal telephone number, typically between 5 and 7 digits long.
When MSDCs were introduced, calling the premium rate '09' numbers from mobile phones resulted is a large variance in charges, dependent on the UK mobile telephone service provider. MSDCs removed that variance.
Following recent Ofcom changes to non-geographic telephone numbers, calls to the Sports Personality of the Year 2015 '09' numbers, whether from a landline or mobile, now cost the caller 15p plus the access charge set by the landline or mobile telephone service provider of the caller. The impact has reduced that variance in charges, made the differences public and resulted in that variance being across both landline and mobile calls.
The continued use of MSDCs for voting therefore has the advantage that callers from UK mobile phone networks should pay less to vote as no access charge is applied to these calls.
When voting from a UK mobile using a MSDC number you will hear a vote confirmation message in the same way you would when voting by calling a '09' premium rate number from a landline.
Using your UK mobile phone, simply dial the short number shown on screen for your chosen contender/s, when the vote is open. There is one number allocated to each contender. If you call while the vote is open you will hear a message confirming your vote. If you try to call when the vote is closed you will hear a closed non-chargeable message. You can't text/SMS to the MSDC.
Text voting cannot be offered for Sports Personality of the Year 2015 due to the relatively short periods in which the vote is open and during which the result needs to be provided and verified. There is the risk of potential delays within the mobile networks at busy times which could result in text votes not being received within the period the vote is open. With a phone call, if the exchange is busy you will hear an engaged tone, however with text/SMS you would not know if there is any late delivery of your vote (causing it to not be registered). There are no such potential network delays with MSDCs other than busy tones at local exchange level with heavy traffic.
In addition, call attempts to MSDCs outside of the vote open period, or to numbers no longer in use, are non-chargeable to callers, unlike text where charges may still apply.
The advantage of using telephone calls for voting rather than text voting is that the caller knows at the time of the call that their vote has been counted and also that they have been charged for their vote. They will also know from receiving an engaged tone if they did not get through and that they can then just press redial to try again. The same is not true of text voting as the texter has to wait for a confirmation message back from their mobile telephone service provider which may take some time to arrive or which may not arrive at all.
Voting on Sports Personality of the Year 2015 via a MSDC from UK mobile networks will cost 15p per vote.
No. Calls outside the vote open period and those made to any of Sports Personality of the Year 2015 numbers not currently in use will not be chargeable.
It is very unlikely that callers will be charged when calling a closed vote line as we use free of charge messaging during these times. If you have been charged, then notify your service provider.
The Channel Islands and Isle of Man are covered by separate mobile telephone service providers who do not currently support voting by MSDCs. Viewers in these regions may still be able to vote by dialling the '09' numbers for Sports Personality of the Year 2015 contenders from their landlines or mobiles at 15p plus their network's access charge per vote.
No. MSDC voting is only available from mobile phones, if you try to call a MSDC from your landline you will not be connected to the voting service and your vote will not be counted. In a very small number of cases, the landline telephone service provider may route the call to a local destination as it may match a "local" telephone number which may result in a 'wrong number' call being made. Such calls would be chargeable if they are answered.
No. Sports Personality of the Year 2015 voting will be made using online and telephone call voting only as this offers the caller the benefits of knowing at the time that they place their vote that their vote has been counted and that they have been charged. This would not be true of text votes.
Yes. It will cost you 15p plus your mobile network's access charge per vote. The '09' voting numbers should preferably only be called from your landline if you have one. If using your mobile, you should call the MSDC if you can as it will be cheaper at 15p per vote. No access charge is applicable on the MSDCs. If you decide to call the '09' voting numbers from your UK mobile phone then you will hear a non-chargeable message at the start of the call asking you to call the MSDCs instead. If you remain on the line after the message then you will be able to vote for your chosen contender but your UK mobile telephone service provider will charge 15p plus the network's access charge per call.
MSDCs for use across all the major UK mobile telephone service providers, and at a fixed price for a call, have only been available in the UK since April 2012.
No, you should not receive any text messages from Sports Personality of the Year 2015 or any other organisation as a result of voting using the MSDCs. The BBC does not sell on nor, except if required to do so for legal reasons, supply mobile telephone numbers to any third party. Text spamming is caused by companies sending unsolicited text messages to mobile telephone numbers. The BBC in no way supports this practice and takes great care to guard numbers from any unauthorised use. If you receive unwanted text messages from other companies that you are being charged for, you can contact PhonepayPlus, the premium services regulator on freephone 0800 500 212 between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) or via www.phonepayplus.org.uk to report this.
BBC Helpline: 0370 010 0222 (standard geographic charges from landlines and mobiles will apply)
There are a small number of UK mobile phone users who are unable to call MSDCs, you should check with your mobile telephone service provider to see if you can lift the calling bar or simply vote by calling the '09' voting numbers using a landline.
Not all UK telephone service providers, including some VOIP operators, allow voting by traditional premium rate 09 numbers.
The new MSDC numbers are intended only for voting via the UK mobile telephone service providers and so will almost certainly not be supported by the fixed line and VOIP telephone service providers.
No.
No, all votes will be counted.
The MSDCs are provided by the UK mobile telephone service providers and are only accessible via these operators. It is also unlikely that calls can be made to MSDCs from UK mobiles when these are outside of the UK, as this would be subject to mobile telephone service providers' international roaming arrangements with foreign telephone service providers.
No. BBC does not receive any revenue. Revenue from the calls (if any) goes to charity.

Angela Lansbury, who starred in the original London production, was among the first night audience at the Savoy theatre.
The production, which had transferred from Chichester, won a standing ovation from the audience mid-show.
The classic musical is about striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee and her overbearing mother, played by Staunton.
Jonathan Kent's production also stars Peter Davison and Lara Pulver.
Staunton had won excellent reviews previously but Dominic Cavendish in The Telegraph said Staunton's performance was even better than in Chichester.
"Not only does Staunton display greater leather-lunged force in the show-stopping numbers such as Everything's Coming Up Roses... She also packs more into this whirlwind-restless, tormented spirit," he said.
He gave the show five stars and called seeing it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
Broadcaster and critic Libby Purves tweeted: "It blazes, it blooms, it has London leaping to its feet. Nothing beats GYPSY for wow 'n wisdom. Staunton superb."
In her review she notes there were three standing ovations and thought the production was even better than when it was on in Chichester.
"It is, if anything, even more kaleidoscopically irresistible set in the Savoy's weary gilt-and-velvet."
Dominic Maxwell in The Times also gave it five stars calling Staunton's performance "staggeringly good".
"Staunton's fierce but wounded Rose doesn't just gaze into the abyss, she sings and dances, bosses and bullies, sweet-talks and schemes into the abyss. She gives us enough pain and defiance to fuel a Greek drama couched in the showbiz trappings of Jule Styne's music, Stephen Sondheim's lyrics and Arthur Laurent's witty, sounding book. In a word: 'wow'."
It is the first time the musical has been seen in the West End since the UK premiere production in 1973, which starred Angela Lansbury.
This production, which started in Chichester last year, reunited Staunton with the team behind the award-winning Sweeney Todd.
Time Out and What's On Stage also give the show five stars, as did Stephen Collins from BritishTheatre.com, who called the Savoy Theatre "a perfect home for this Gypsy".
"The places where Rose might want her troupe to play might have looked like the Savoy does, and, as an encapsulation of wonderfully grand theatricality, it has a lot going for it. The sight of Rose alone on its vast, darkened stage is powerful indeed."
He said this version is "superior in absolutely every way" to its previous Chichester production and gushed it is "likely to be the definitive production of Gypsy for a generation".
David Nice at The Arts Desk said the audience was "beguiled to cheering point" by the show "because everything in this London transfer from the Chichester Festival Theatre, parody included, is solid gold."
"Imelda Staunton dazzles with truth and vitality in a near-perfect musical," he added. | Gypsy has returned to the West End for the first time in 40 years, winning rave reviews for Imelda Staunton. | 32,331,570 | 734 | 27 | false |
The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission ranked every English council for disadvantaged children's prospects.
Not one pupil eligible for free school meals in Cambridgeshire got into an Oxbridge university in 2014, and no Oxfordshire pupil managed it in 2013.
The commission said some of the richest areas failed poor children the most.
The government said fairness was vital.
"We are determined to spread... educational excellence everywhere," said a spokesman.
The results go beyond a crude North-South divide, say the researchers.
They analysed a range of measures to compile the new Social Mobility Index, assessing the life chances of England's poorest children across 324 local authority areas.
Of particular surprise was the lack of opportunity for poor children in some of the richest places in England, say the researchers.
Many rich areas are successful in boosting the life chances of poor children - but others "rank quite poorly against the index", they found.
London and its commuter belt do appreciably better than the rest of the country, occupying 36 out of the top 40 spots on the index.
Outside this area, only Trafford and Fylde in the North West and East Devon and South Hams in the South West made it to the highest part of the index.
Manchester, Birmingham and Southampton were about average, while Nottingham, Derby and Norwich scored badly.
"There are many affluent areas that fail their less affluent residents," says the report.
For example, despite being home to two of the world's best universities, Oxford and Cambridge "do quite badly" by children from disadvantaged homes, says the commission.
It found that of children eligible for free school meals in the two cities:
By contrast, in London's Tower Hamlets, which has the highest rate of child poverty in England:
Commission chairman, Alan Milburn, called the research a "wake-up call".
"It is shocking that many of the richest areas of the country are the ones failing their poorest children the most," he said.
"I hope the government will put itself at the head of a new national drive to ensure that in future, progress in life depends on aptitude and ability, not background and birth: on where people aspire to get to, not where they have come from.
"This report suggests that is long overdue."
A Department for Education spokesman said the government was committed to social justice.
"That is why raising standards for every child, regardless of circumstances, is part of our plan to ensure everyone can achieve their full potential.
"Thanks to our reforms there are now 1.4 million more pupils being taught in 'good' or 'outstanding' schools compared to 2010. And over this parliament we are determined to spread this educational excellence everywhere, extending true social mobility for all."
The Centre for Carbon Measurement will be based at the National Physical Laboratory in south-west London.
It will raise accuracy of climate data, support better emissions monitoring to ensure a fair carbon market, and verify claims made about low-carbon products.
It will be formally launched at the Planet Under Pressure event in London.
The four-day conference will see thousands of delegates discuss various aspects of social and environmental sustainability in the run-up to the Rio+20 summit in June.
One of their key concerns is climate change - and the new Centre for Carbon Measurement (CCM) is aimed partially at improving the computer models that are just about the only tools scientists have to project the future of our warming planet.
"Data from ground based stations and satellites is fed into climate models, and they spit out conclusions on things like sea level rise and other climate impacts," said Jane Burston, the CCM's head.
"So the better data we have, the better we can make the models," she told BBC News.
This part of the centre's work will involve working with other scientific institutions and commercial providers to improve the accuracy of instruments and calibration between them.
Staff will also look for ways of improving measurement of carbon emissions.
Scientists have previously shown that there can be wide disparities between emission levels reported by companies - which are usually based on calculations involving, for example, how much fuel they burn and the efficiency of their plant - and what is measured in the atmosphere.
Hi-tech low carbon
"We need to make sure that our measurement infrastructure matches our level of ambition," said Ms Burston.
"As the carbon market takes off and carbon becomes more expensive, we're going to want to measure things better."
The third main aim of the project involves low-carbon technologies, in sectors such as energy generation and building insulation.
The centre will help manufacturers develop their products and measure their performance, in order to make sure that companies' claims for "climate-friendliness" are based in reality.
Building materials can already be assessed in the NPL's "Hot Box" facility; but the centre will develop tools for monitoring performance in the real world as well.
David Willets, Minister for Universities and Science, whose government department manages the UK's various national measurement programmes, said the science of measurement was essential in underpinning the transition to a low carbon economy.
"As the UK is a world leader in both measurement science and the centre of the global carbon market it is only right that we develop the right infrastructure to support this transition," he said.
"The CCM is designed to provide reliable measurements with a sound scientific and technical basis that will improve the understanding of the global climate, support policies for mitigating climate change, and accelerate the development of low-carbon technologies."

The business includes brands such as Butterfinger, BabyRuth, 100Grand, SkinnyCow and Raisinets.
Nestle had previously described the US business as "disappointing".
The potential deal, which would represent about 3% of its US sales, will not include its Toll House bakery business.
"Nestle remains fully committed to growing its leading international confectionery activities around the world, particularly its global brand KitKat," the firm said.
The US confectionery business has annual sales of 900 million Swiss francs (£723m).
The German chancellor caused a storm this Sunday, particularly in the English-language press and Twittersphere, when she declared: "The era in which we could fully rely on others is over to some extent."
But, contrary to the hysteria about "Iron Angie" signalling a slamming of European doors on Trump USA and Brexit UK, what I mean by her "taking back control" is this:
Like the UK's Leave campaigners, Angela Merkel is heading towards a vote. Though Germany isn't debating EU membership, it's in the run-up to an autumn general election.
Mrs Merkel is now on the campaign trail and not at all above injecting some populism into her politics.
President Trump is hugely unpopular among German voters and his failure to commit to the Paris climate accord, at the G7, and to Nato's Article Five last week angered many Europeans.
Mrs Merkel's pointed comments about no longer being able to rely fully on allies were delivered to rapturous applause while on the campaign trail in the (conservatively) pumped arena of a Munich beer hall.
Campaign Trail Merkel, as we'll call her for the moment, is also aware that German voters aren't just partial to a bit of Trump-thumping - but also to a full-on promotion of Europe.
Liberal Europeans have felt immensely frustrated at the constant Brussels bashing by nationalist politicians over the past couple of years.
Resentment has built up, too, over Russia seemingly being able to do whatever it wants in Crimea, Syria and the cyber-sphere despite supposed international norms.
And there's real anger and fear about Donald Trump the Unpredictable, a man many in Europe judge to be ignorant about world politics, diplomacy and the workings of a democracy.
Germans believe more than ever now that Europe needs be assertive; to stick together and be strong together.
They are feeling more confident, too, with pro-EU, pro-Merkel Emmanuel Macron as French president.
Enter Chancellor Merkel's emotive language à la "take back control', except what she says is "Europe needs to take its fate into its own hands".
The Bavarian beer hall loved it, as do many Germans, giving Mrs Merkel that edge over her political rivals.
However.
Angela Merkel - political old hand and consummate pragmatist - has not been subsumed by Campaign Trail Merkel.
Would she like to be able to safeguard the stability and safety of Europe without relying on what she regards as an unpredictable US and an unreliable UK?
Absolutely.
She believes Europe must co-operate more on defence: pooling resources, spending military budgets more intelligently and bolstering itself as much as it can.
But she knows full well that Europe can't go it alone.
Certainly not Germany, with its post World War Two sensitivities about taking up arms.
Britain leaving the EU means the bloc only has one military power left - the French one - and one seat on the UN Security Council.
Nato is now more important than ever for EU safety.
Europe relies, too, on British intelligence and co-operation in fighting terrorism.
Chancellor Merkel has been around the political block more than a few times, and she is not now biting the hand that feeds (bear in mind, too, America's huge importance for German business).
Donald Trump may not be so sure about Nato, but the US vice-president and the defence secretary say they are fully committed.
And at Nato, the G7 and when she visited Donald Trump in Washington in March, Angela Merkel was diplomatic at all times, leaving snubs and small shows of strength to France's keen-to-prove himself presidential newbie, Emmanuel Macron.
When Angela Merkel says Europe needs to be take its fate in its own hands, she means keeping transatlantic links open and strong, but being politically, emotionally and - if possible - militarily prepared if it all falls apart.
Rather than closing the door on the US, she hopes very much the US isn't turning its back on Europe.
Ms Robison made her pledge in response to a question by SNP MSP James Dornan.
Last week the Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled that the policy, backed by MSPs four years ago, did not breach European law.
The case was brought by the Scotch Whisky Association which has the right to appeal the court's decision.
Under the plan, a price of 50p per unit of alcohol would be set, taking a bottle of spirits to at least £14.
The Scottish government believed minimum pricing would help address Scotland's "unhealthy relationship with drink".
Asked by Mr Dornan what the government's next step would be following the Court of Session ruling, Ms Robison said: "The Scottish government intends to implement minimum unit pricing as soon as possible - the order bringing minimum pricing in must first be laid in draft in the Scottish Parliament for approval before it can be made by Scottish ministers."
She did not elaborate on what that timetable would be.
However, Ms Robison urged the Scotch Whisky Association not to take the matter back to the appeal courts.
She said: "While we respect the right of the Scotch Whisky Association to seek permission to appeal the judgement I hope it will accept it, enabling us to get on with implementing this life-saving policy."
Glasgow City Council said the people of Manchester were among Glasgow's "closest friends".
Twenty-two people were killed and 59 injured in what the prime minister has called an "appalling, sickening, terrorist attack" at Manchester Arena.
A lone male suicide attacker set off a bomb in the foyer shortly after 22:30 on Monday.
The bomb was detonated as concert-goers left the venue at the end of a performance by US singer Ariana Grande.
Many victims of the attack are children. Some teenagers who were at the concert are still missing, including Eilidh MacLeod from the Isle of Barra. Her friend Laura MacIntyre has been found seriously injured in a Manchester hospital.
The Lord Provost of Glasgow, Eva Bolander, who attended the vigil, said she was "heartbroken" when she woke up to news of the attack.
She said: "There's no words for it really. How anyone can justify any action like this. We can only overcome this by showing love, trying to be as open as possible, not succumb to terrorists, not succumb to being afraid of things."
Councillor Susan Aitken, leader of Glasgow City Council, described it as an "appalling and disgusting outrage".
"The people of the great city of Manchester are amongst Glasgow's closest friends and I know every Glaswegian will join with me in sending our condolences and love to everyone who has been caught up in this attack," she said.
"I have written this morning to Mayor Burnham offering him any support Glasgow can give.
Ms Aitken said council officials had been discussing the safety and security of Glasgow's venues with Police Scotland, and would also hold meetings with the chief executives of Glasgow Life and the Scottish Event Campus (SEC).
The union flag has been flying at half mast over Glasgow's City Chambers as a mark of respect for those affected by the attack.
A statement issued by the SEC, which includes the Hydro arena, said: "Our current security operation considers information provided to us by Police Scotland and is scaled appropriately to each event.
"We will be liaising with the police regarding our security arrangements with the necessary measures put in place to provide further reassurance to those attending or working at events in and around our venue."
The SEC said it had no plans to cancel or postpone any planned events.
It said new flight paths would allow it to maintain safe and sustainable growth without affecting punctuality.
An earlier trial of an alternative route pattern for aircraft using the airport was ended early, in October 2015, after complaints about noise.
A publicity campaign about proposed flight path changes will feature a television advert, online information and 600,000 leaflets.
The consultation will last for 14 weeks.
Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar said any proposed changes to flight paths would be looked at carefully.
He said: "I think any change means that inevitably we have change to the impact. Sometimes that's an improvement for people and sometimes it's not, unfortunately.
"But what we want to make sure is we understand that when we're looking at the options in the second stage of the process that we're putting the balance on the really important growth agenda for Scotland and then making sure that we're being sensitive and looking after those that we can in the community."
Helena Paul, of the campaign Edinburgh Airport Watch, said she viewed the proposed changes with "absolute horror".
She told BBC Radio Scotland: "I wouldn't wish the noise levels that we're now suffering on anyone.
"I was woken again at six o'clock this morning by a plane going over. The last plane went over about quarter to 12 last night. I wouldn't wish that on any community.
"Edinburgh Airport has had established flight routes for 40 years...they do not need to change their flight paths to be able to increase their capacity."
Any proposal to alter flight paths at Edinburgh Airport would have to be approved by the Civil Aviation Authority.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service said hunting an old rhino bull helps to increase the population.
There was an outcry when Corey Knowlton won the auction last year, with animal rights activists decrying it. It's not yet clear when the hunt will happen.
Namibia is home to some 1,500 black rhino, a third of the world's total.
The US agency issuing the permit said that importing the carcass from Namibia would be allowed because it met criteria under the Endangered Species Act of benefiting conservation.
Since first considering whether to issue the permit in November, the agency has received petitions with around 152,000 signatures demanding that it be denied.
The Dallas Safari Club, which held the auction, said the $350,000 (£235,000) winning bid would fund future conservation efforts.
Its executive director, Ben Carter, sent a letter to the agency in December that said the proceeds from the auction are "critical to supporting the Namibian government in their efforts to stem the tide of commercial killing of these animals".
As the agency considered the permit, Mr Knowlton's money has been kept in escrow and the hunt was postponed.
Last year, he claimed to have had to hire security because he'd received death threats.
He said he had been speaking to the FBI about protecting his family. A number of people posted abuse on his Facebook page, calling him "cruel" and a "barbarian".
It is not clear if a date for Mr Knowlton's hunt has been set.
Animal rights group Peta has said that it will file a lawsuit, while Wayne Pacelle, chief executive of the Humane Society of the United States said the federal agency was sending a "mixed message" and noted that Rhino poaching is on the rise.
A Las Vegas investment manager who bought a hunting permit directly from the Namibian authorities will also be granted a permit to import a carcass.
For its part, the US Fish and Wildlife Service said it denied a request to import an elephant carcass from Zimbabwe because allowing it to happen would not enhance the survival of the species in the wild.
But this image of the town has been overshadowed by an increasingly vocal and mobilised anti-gay campaign which has been garnering local support.
This comes after similar moves in neighbouring Uganda and Malawi.
Human rights groups are warning that hardening attitudes to homosexuality in Africa are driving gays and lesbians underground.
At Mtwapa's Masjid Answar Sunna Mosque Sheikh Ali Hussein tells around 300 worshippers that homosexuality is a "sin" which should be "punishable by death."
Mr Hussein is head of an influential Kenyan organisation called the Council of Imams and Preachers.
He called a meeting after Friday prayers to talk more about homosexuality which was attended by local church leader Pastor Kenga Kahindi and around 100 locals.
The pastor agreed with the sheikh that the act was a sin but he said: "I don't think they should be killed, but removed from society" where he thinks some kind of rehabilitation of homosexuals could take place.
The anti-gay message brings together local Christians and Muslims, including Councillor Esthe Kache who is the local leader from the nearby town of Mnarani.
"In the Bible, it is not allowed at all and the Christians and Muslims around here, we are not going to allow such a thing," she says.
Ms Kache says that another big problem in the local area is HIV/Aids.
She looks after six Aids orphans in her own home and she highlights the good work of the Kenya Medical Research Institute (also known as Kemri) which conducts research and provides treatment and prevention advice to people with the virus.
But Kemri's Mtwapa branch was targeted by an anti-gay mob on 13 February 2010 when a protest resulted in people being dragged out from the waiting room of the clinic and beaten.
Kemri conducts research on HIV/Aids among high-risk groups and works with male and female sex workers and men who have sex with men.
Mtwapa is developing fast, with a growing tourist industry bringing wealth and prosperity but some locals are afraid that it is taking them away from their traditions and culture.
Local resident Ali Salim, who works with drug addicts, is among those concerned about the changes.
"I see a lot of young girls and a lot of young men involved in commercial sexing."
He sees a link between a gay lifestyle and the growth in the male sex trade as he believes that gay men want to convert others and "grow their number".
But Ishmael thinks it is a common misconception that homosexuality and prostitution are linked in some way.
Religion, politics and homophobia
"This is not true. Gay life is also about love and many gay men stick on one partner and that is it."
He was shocked when anti-gay feeling flared up in the town.
"For a long time, gay people have been coming into the area openly and going to their own bars and night clubs without problem," he says.
But the bars and clubs in Mtwapa have been upsetting some locals and have become a campaign issue in local elections.
Mufideh Mohammed is seeking to become a councillor and has been pushing the anti-gay message.
At a rally for women she spoke about the problem of homosexuality: "This has become the worst thing, we ask our women to protect our kids, especially boys."
One of those already in power locally is Kilifi district commissioner Kate Mwanza.
He wants Kenya to follow the lead of Uganda, where an MP has introduced a private member's bill which calls for homosexual acts to be punished by life in prison and the death sentence in some cases.
In Malawi, a gay couple was recently sentenced to 14 years in prison after holding an engagement party, although international pressure led to them being pardoned and freed.
"I believe we are going to review our laws to suit society's concerns," said Mr Mwanza.
The main concerns for people here are losing their cultural traditions and the arrival of HIV, drugs and prostitution.
The politicians' anti-gay campaign is seductive as it seems to address these fears, without really having to solve them.

The Conservatives made a last-ditch attempt to block the move at Holyrood.
But MSPs voted by 103 votes to 12 against the Tory amendment to the Housing (Scotland) Bill.
Tenants will now have two years to apply to buy their homes before the right is scrapped in 2016.
The deadline for the final council house sale was shortened from three years to two years by Housing Minister Margaret Burgess.
She said two years was enough time for tenants to assess their options without being rushed into a purchase.
Ms Burgess rejected Labour calls for the deadline to be shortened to one year to further protect existing council house stocks from what Tories called "a feeding frenzy" of last minute purchases that may lose more houses than it saves.
The right-to-buy was brought in across the UK by Margaret Thatcher's government in 1980, with 455,000 tenants buying their homes in Scotland under the system.
By Glenn CampbellBBC Scotland news
Holyrood's decision to end the right-to-buy in Scotland will signal the end of an era in housing policy.
Since 1980, it has been possible for council tenants to buy their homes at discounted rates.
By last year, 455,000 Scottish properties had been sold under the scheme.
It was one of the most popular policies pursued by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government, although it failed to shore up popular support for her party in Scotland.
The right-to-buy substantially increased home ownership but it also contributed to an acute shortage of social housing.
The Scottish government has been phasing out the right and will end it in 2016 to stop council houses and some former council houses being lost to the rental market.
This policy is in marked contrast to the approach being taken by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition in England.
There, the maximum discount is being increased to £75,000 (and £100,000 in London) and the qualifying period reduced from five to three years to encourage more tenants to become home owners.
The UK government says the proceeds from sales will be invested in new affordable housing.
Twenty-six councils and about 183 registered social landlords (RSLs) manage more than 600,000 properties in the social housing sector.
However, there are more than 180,000 households on local authority housing lists across Scotland and only about 54,600 social housing properties became available to let last year.
Right-to-buy has driven-up home ownership in Scotland. But it has also contributed to an acute shortage of social housing.
That is why the Scottish government said it wanted to end the right in 2016.
The housing minister told Holyrood: "With 185,000 people on waiting lists for council and housing association houses, we can no longer afford to see the social sector lose out on badly needed homes."
Ms Burgess added: "By ending right-to-buy in two years we will protect up to 15,500 social houses from sale over a 10-year period and safeguard social housing stock for future generations."
But the Tories have said ministers are kicking the housing ladder away from those on modest incomes who aspire to home ownership.
Housing spokesman Alex Johnstone said: "This move by the SNP is motivated by nothing more than political dogma and is nothing to do with protecting the housing stock.
"Right-to-buy has been the most effective single measure to enable a whole generation on modest incomes to take pride in owning their own property."
Andy Young of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA) said the policy had "no place in 21st century Scotland".
He claimed right-to-buy had been "beneficial to a relatively small number of individuals, but clearly a loss to the greater public good".
Mr Young added: "Around 500,000 social rented homes have been lost in the 35 years of this policy in Scotland, very often the better stock in the more popular areas."
Jones was at Sandy Park on Saturday to watch the Chiefs' stunning victory over Top 14 side Clermont Auvergne in the European Champions Cup.
"No doubt we will discuss tonight's performance," Baxter told BBC Radio Devon after the match.
"We'll discuss our English qualified players and how he wants to do things in the future with England."
He added: "I'm really looking forward to meeting him, I think it'll be very interesting and you're always pleased to have these kind of meetings off the back of a good performance."
Exeter had three players in England's squad for this year's World Cup - Jack Nowell, Henry Slade and Geoff Parling, who moved to the Chiefs after the tournament from Leicester.
The victory over Clermont, who have reached the final of Europe's top competition twice in the past three seasons, put Exeter level at the top of Pool Two alongside Ospreys.
It came three years after Exeter were crushed 46-12 by the French side in the Heineken Cup at Sandy Park.
"There's definitely progress by us," said Baxter, whose side are second in the Premiership.
"At the same time it wasn't quite as strong a Clermont a side as we played and I think they would say that as well.
"There were a few very good international-quality players missing, but this is still the squad that is top of the Top 14.
"We've got a few injury issues ourselves and it's a massive credit to the players that played today."
He said he "regretted" the disruption his comments had caused but "I believe what I said is true".
The former London mayor was suspended from the Labour party on Thursday after saying Hitler had supported Zionism in the 1930s.
He made the comments while defending Labour MP Naz Shah over accusations she was anti-Semitic.
During an interview on LBC, Mr Livingstone repeatedly refused to apologise for making the comments, saying he was sorry if his views had upset Jewish people but he had simply made a "statement of fact" that had also been made by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"I never regret saying something that is true," he said.
"How can I have hurt and offended the Jewish community when the prime minister of Israel said exactly the same thing?"
"If you look at what this is all about, it's not about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party... What this is all about is actually the struggle of the embittered old Blairite MPs to try to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn."
Labour is to hold an independent inquiry into anti-Semitism and other forms of racism in its ranks.
It said the inquiry, led by Shami Chakrabarti, former head of human rights campaign group Liberty, would consult with the Jewish community and other minority groups, after claims a strain of party members held anti-Semitic views.
The row erupted after Ms Shah was found to have made comments on Facebook before becoming an MP, including a suggestion that Israel should be moved to the United States. She later apologised and was suspended from the party.
But Mr Livingstone defended the Bradford West MP, saying anti-Zionism was not the same as anti-Semitism.
He told BBC London: "When Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews."
He was later confronted outside the BBC's studios by Labour MP John Mann, who accused him in front of TV cameras of being a "Nazi apologist".
And he was later suspended by Labour leader Mr Corbyn, who said there had been "grave concerns" about the language used.
But Mr Corbyn denied his party was racist, saying there was "no place for anti-Semitism or any form of racism in the Labour party, or anywhere in society, and we will make sure that our party is a welcoming home to members of all communities".
The row comes less than a week before local elections in England, and for the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Mr Livingstone, who has been a close ally of Mr Corbyn and his left-wing ideals, said he believed the attacks against him were coming from the right-wing of the party and were really aimed at undermining the leadership.
"The really appalling thing here is dishonest MPs who know that what I said is true have stirred up all this nonsense because they want to damage our chances at the local election so they then have a chance of undermining Jeremy."
Shadow cabinet minister Jonathan Ashworth said it was Mr Livingstone who was undermining Mr Corbyn, and urged him to "put a sock in it".
He told the BBC: "I was offended by Ken's remarks. I think Ken crossed a line. I'm not a bitter former Blairite... I am proud to serve in Jeremy's shadow cabinet."
What's the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu provoked widespread criticism in October when he said a Palestinian leader persuaded the Nazis to carry out the Holocaust.
Mr Netanyahu insisted Adolf Hitler had only wanted to expel Jews from Europe, but that Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini had told him: "Burn them."
However, the chief historian at Israel's memorial to the Holocaust said this account was factually incorrect.
Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, said the money would cover "all costs arising in connection with the case".
Meanwhile, French President Francois Hollande said the 150 victims would be identified by the end of the week.
An access road to the crash site has been completed to help speed up the recovery of bodies.
However, rescuers have warned the operation could still take several months.
Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, Mr Hollande praised the work of scientists at the scene in the French Alps.
"The French interior minister confirmed that by the end of the week at the latest it will be possible to identify all of the victims thanks to DNA samples," he added.
None of the victims were found intact after the plane's 700kph (430mph) impact, but different strands of DNA have been identified at the site.
Germany says that the $300m being put aside by Lufthansa is separate from the $54,250 (€50,000; £36,720) available to the relatives of each passenger to cover short-term expenses.
Airlines are obliged to compensate relatives for proven damages of up to a limit of about $157,000 (€135,000; £145,000) - regardless of what caused the crash - but higher compensation is possible if an airline is held liable.
On Monday it emerged that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, had at one point received treatment for suicidal tendencies before getting his pilot licence.
Lubitz, 27, is suspected of deliberately crashing the plane in the Alps, killing all 150 people on board.
Officials in Duesseldorf said the investigation so far had revealed no clue as to his motives.
German prosecutors say he underwent psychotherapy before getting his licence and that medical records from that period referred to "suicidal tendencies."
Lufthansa says that Lubitz's medical records were subject to doctor-patient confidentiality and it had no knowledge of their contents.
Andreas Lubitz: Germanwings co-pilot
Who was Andreas Lubitz?
Lufthansa also announced on Tuesday that it had cancelled plans to celebrate its 60th anniversary on 15 April.
On 17 April the airline will broadcast live coverage of a state memorial service at Cologne Cathedral.
Germanwings flight 4U 9525 crashed near the French Alpine village of Le Vernet on 24 March, flying from Barcelona to Duesseldorf.
The cockpit voice recorder suggested Lubitz crashed the plane deliberately after locking pilot Patrick Sondenheimer out of the cockpit.
The data recorder, which tracks the plane's altitude, speed and direction, has not yet been found.
Lufthansa board chairman Kay Kratky on Monday warned it may have been too badly damaged and may not be sending signals.

The much-travelled 32-year-old returns to the Championship club after a previous spell from 2005 to 2007.
Sutton moved onto Wycombe and had two spells at Motherwell either side of two years at Hearts, but his season at St Johnstone brought only one goal.
Saints manager Alex Rae said: "He's a tremendous addition - he brings experience and a goal scoring threat."
Police identified three children Robert McGregor, 36, raped from among child pornography that officers found during a search of his home in Inverness.
The identified victims were boys aged three, six and 12.
Police officers investigating the case described McGregor's actions as "abhorrent and unforgivable".
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that he had groomed and exploited children for 13 years.
Sentencing McGregor, judge Lady Carmichael said he had formed relationships with families in order to gain access to children, who he then subjected to abuse.
She said that his youngest victim was "extremely vulnerable".
The judge said that the material recovered in the case not only demonstrated what he had done but that he had persisted in it despite the obvious distress of victims.
Lady Carmichael told McGregor that she would have jailed him for 15 years but for his early guilty pleas to the catalogue of offences.
The judge also ordered that he be kept under supervision for a further five years on his release.
Lady Carmichael said she was not satisfied that the risk criteria were met for imposing a life sentence on McGregor under an Order for Lifelong Restriction.
One man in court called McGregor an "animal" as he was led off to start his sentence.
The child abuser's home in Inverness, was raided by police in May last year and laptops and other items were seized for analysis.
Advocate depute Jo McDonald, prosecuting, said a search warrant was granted to police after intelligence was received from the National Online Child Abuse Prevention Agency.
More than 2,000 indecent photographs and 899 videos were recovered, many of which were found to contain materiel at the most extreme level of abuse.
The prosecutor told the court: "Some of the images showed children who appeared to be as young as 12 months old."
Some of the videos were found to feature McGregor raping and sexually abusing three victims who were later identified by police.
In one case, officers produced stills of a child from video footage and images were shown to a staff member at an Inverness school who identified the boy.
They traced the ex-pupil and the man broke down when they asked if he had suffered abuse from McGregor, the court heard.
McGregor had uploaded five videos to a peer to peer internet app which allowed others to view the footage of his abuse of one of his victims.
Police computer experts found that the files had been accessed by users in America, Germany and in the Czech Republic.
McGregor, a delivery driver, made an initial court appearance charged with possessing indecent images of children and was freed on bail but was then assaulted.
Following further police investigations it became possible to identify one of his victims and he appeared again in court facing further charges, including child rape. Bail was then refused by a sheriff.
McGregor subsequently pleaded guilty to six offences when he appeared at the High Court admitting three charges of raping three boys, sexually assaulting one youngster, making indecent photos of children and distributing or showing indecent photos.
His sex assaults on children spanned more than a decade between 2001 and 2014 and all the attacks occurred in the Inverness area.
His youngest identified victim was aged three.
Another boy was subjected to nearly a decade of abuse from the age of six and the third child victim was 12 when McGregor assaulted him.
The child pornography offences took place between 2011 and March last year.
The advocate depute said that McGregor's offending had had a profound effect on some victims. She said that the scale and nature of his crimes has "scarred families for life".
Defence solicitor advocate John Keenan said: "On any view this is an extremely serious catalogue of offences in a variety of different ways."
Mr Keenan said that it had to be acknowledged that McGregor's crimes had had "a significant impact" especially on his two older victims. He added that "mercifully" the youngest victim appeared to have no recollection of what happened.
The defence lawyer said McGregor seemed willing to take part in programmes to address his behaviour and it was considered that if that happened it would lessen the risk he posed.
McGregor was told he would be on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
Following the sentencing, Det Insp Mark Lambley, of the National Child Abuse Investigation Unit, described McGregor's actions as "abhorrent and unforgivable".
He said: "Firstly I want to acknowledge the courage shown by the victims and their families by coming forward and then throughout this investigation, which resulted in the conviction and today's sentencing of Robert McGregor.
"Officers will continue to support the families, working alongside local partner agencies and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service."
The officer added: "Robert McGregor preyed on young children and abused the trust of the families involved through his abhorrent and unforgivable offending.
"A case this harrowing is rarely seen in Scotland and will understandably send shockwaves through our local communities.
"It is hoped, however, that today's sentencing sends out a clear message that Police Scotland will robustly and sensitively investigate all reports of sexual abuse - regardless of when the abuse took place - helping to ensure we keep everyone safe."
Andy Shanks, Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service Procurator Fiscal for Sexual Offences, said McGregor's offending had a "devastating impact on his victims and their families".
Austen Harrison was crushed by the furniture at the Hugo Boss shop in Bicester, Oxfordshire, in June 2013.
Oxford Coroner's Court heard the large mirror was not fixed to the wall and toppled over as Austen played with it.
He had emergency surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, but his life-support was turned off four days later.
Austen, from Turners Hill in Crawley, West Sussex, was with his parents, Simon and Irina Harrison, on 4 June.
In evidence read to an inquest jury by coroner Darren Salter, Mr Harrison said he had been trying on a number of suits in the shop.
The court heard Austen had been playing with the free-standing mirror, which had winged sections on either side attached by hinges.
Mr Harrison said he was not concerned for his son's safety because he "couldn't think of any reason why such a large mirror wouldn't be fixed to the wall".
He said he and his wife heard an extremely loud bang, "as if something had fallen over", and someone gasped.
"I instantly knew Austen was lying underneath it, as it was not lying flat on the floor," he said.
Mr Harrison lifted the mirror from his son, who was lying motionless.
He said Austen had been lying "face-up with his legs straight out and his arms by his side".
Austen was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and underwent emergency surgery for swelling to his brain.
Doctors told his family Austen would never recover from the "irreversible" brain damage.
His life-support was switched off and he died at 05:45 BST on 8 June.
The inquest continues.
Labour's Lee Waters said limited public cash should be spent on getting more people active, not "investments that win medals for a few".
Wales earned four gold medals and six silver at Rio, among a total GB haul of 67.
Sport Wales says it spends three times more on grassroots sport than elite sport.
Mr Waters, who was elected as Llanelli AM in May, is a member of the assembly's culture committee.
He said funding for elite sport was "being prioritised" and "austerity cuts have brought local clubs to the brink".
"The medal tally at the Rio Olympics was brilliant and intoxicating.
"But it masks a growing crisis in sports at a grassroots level, and does nothing to address the wider public health emergency from rising obesity. An obsession with winning medals risks the future of grassroots sports.
"It's great being near top of the league for medals but we are also top of the league for childhood obesity in Europe and that should come first."
Mr Waters said Carmarthenshire council was spending a £293,000 Welsh Government grant on staff to encourage kids to join clubs and "progress up the elite ladder", while "pitches are threatened with being sold off for housing developments and volunteer coaches are at their wits' end".
He cited figures from the Carmarthenshire United Sports Committee saying 10 sports clubs and 100 bowlers had been lost as a result of fee increases brought in by the authority.
The council's executive member for leisure, Meryl Gravell, said the authority "continues to invest significant resources in grassroots sport, working closely with the Welsh Government and Sport Wales to deliver initiatives such as 'Dragon Sport' and '5x60' extra-curricular sports clubs in schools and supporting local clubs through community chest grants".
Sport Wales said it invested £24m a year in community sports - three times that invested in elite sport.
A spokeswoman said: "We have seen positive trends in the last few years of increased regular participation across the board but we are not complacent and want to ensure that our investment is helping to deliver a network of opportunities that enable people to become, and crucially, remain active."
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "Welsh sporting success, whether at the Euros or at the Rio Olympics, can play a huge role in inspiring people, young and old, to participate in sport at all levels and to increase their physical activity."
She said the government was working with others "on a range of projects to support people to be more physically active, including free swimming".
A decision on the 12,000-capacity venue was deferred by councillors earlier this month because of concerns about how people would get to and from it.
However, it was given unanimous approval by Bristol City Council's Development Control Committee after revised plans were submitted.
These include a shuttle service from Bristol Parkway, more bike spaces and stewards to guide pedestrians.
The £92.5m city centre venue had been due to open in 2018. But there were concerns that, without a car park, concert-goers would clog up nearby streets.
The council has now allocated £7.75m of the project's budget to fund coach drop-off bays, taxi spaces and increased cycle parking.
It will also make use of park-and-ride sites and work with First Group and Great Western Railway to provide additional buses and a shuttle service to the railway station after events.
Dr Spitzer played a leading role in the development of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
He was also lauded for pushing to remove homosexuality's classification as a mental disorder in 1973.
Dr Spitzer's wife said he died from heart problems in Seattle on Friday.
His work on several editions of the field's diagnostic manual, known as the DSM, was seen as a "major breakthrough in the profession", his wife and colleague Janet Williams told the AP news agency.
It helped to give psychiatrists definitions of all of the major disorders so that they "could agree on what they were seeing", she said.
Working from Columbia University in New York, he pioneered an approach that relied on empirical study rather than traditional theory.
Dr Spitzer was "by far the most influential psychiatrist of his time," Dr Allen Frances, editor of a later edition of the DSM manual, told the New York Times.
Homosexuality, which at the time was listed as a mental disorder, was among the behaviours Dr Spitzer analysed and later removed from the list in the 1970s.
Until that point, the DSM had classified homosexuality as an illness, designating it a "sociopathic personality disturbance."
Dr Spitzer said he pressed for the change after meeting gay rights activists and determining that homosexuality could not be a disorder if gay people were comfortable with their sexuality.
"A medical disorder either had to be associated with subjective distress, pain or general impairment in social function," he told the Washington Post.
Dr Jack Drescher, a gay psychoanalyst, described it as a major advance for gay rights.
"The fact that gay marriage is allowed today is in part owed to Bob Spitzer," he told the New York Times.
But Dr Spitzer later courted controversy after publishing a study in 2001 which purported to support reparative therapy to turn gay people straight, sparking claims of betrayal from gay rights activists.
More than 10 years later, he apologised for the study, which he said was flawed.
He said it was the only thing in his career that he regretted.
James Campbell, from Glasgow, was placed on a lifelong restriction order by judge Tom Hughes QC because of the danger he poses to the public.
The 58-year-old ran a YMCA project group aimed at helping troubled youths escape gang culture.
The offences were committed between 1992 and 1997.
Sentencing Campbell at the High Court in Glasgow, the judge said: "You were working as a youth worker and had access to both victims. You used your position of trust to carry out these offences.
"It is a matter of great concern that your employers were made aware of concerns from fellow workers and nothing was done about the matter."
When police officers raided Campbell's home they found 187,000 images of child sex abuse, including 50 photographs of the 14-year-old he abused.
Jurors heard how he contacted the 14-year-old victim, now 37, on Facebook in 2015, with a message that read: "Thanks for replying. Don't deserve it really. Been trying to find you since 1998 on and off. Well, sorry for the past."
Campbell claimed he first met the boy at Maryhill Burgh hall and offered him and his friend money to move a washing machine.
He said he paid the boy each week to wash the stairs in his close.
But the victim told the jury that Campbell made sexual and inappropriate remarks to him and offered money for sex acts.
Campbell's other victim was just five and described as a "a lost soul" when he was abused at the community centre where Campbell's YMCA project was based.
The victim, who is now 26, had £300 under his bed - "bribe" money which Campbell had given him.
But Campbell described both victims as "liars" and claimed they stole the cash from him.
James Little, a careers advisor at the project run by Campbell from 1996 to 1997, said he had contacted the police over concerns for the five-year-old in 1998 - but nothing was done.
Mr Little told prosecutor Kath Harper: "He seemed untouchable. Any concerns were swept under the carpet no matter how many times myself and others went to the YMCA about him."
He added: "I saw that little boy outside the project building and inside the project building quite a lot. He would always be in the office area with Mr Campbell.
"My gut instinct was he shouldn't be there. The project was for 12 to 20-year-olds. When I challenged the young boy being there it was rubbished or dismissed."
Campbell admitted possession of the child sex abuse images
He has been placed on the sex offenders' register.
The -57kg world number one has won a World Grand Prix and two European titles since her success in 2012.
Jones is joined by world champion Bianca Walkden (+67kg), Olympic bronze medallist Lutalo Muhammad (-80kg) and heavyweight Mahama Cho (+80kg).
"I'm going to Rio for gold," said Jones, from Flint in north Wales.
"I'll be leaving everything on the mat and I want to be the best which makes me hungrier than ever and determined to succeed."
Unlike at London 2012 - when the build-up to the taekwondo competition was overshadowed by the controversial omission of then world number one Aaron Cook - this time around selection has been more straightforward.
Muhammad - who was chosen ahead of Cook in 2012 - again had to overcome a strong GB opponent in world silver medallist Damon Sansum.
However, he avoided a drawn-out appeals process following strong performances over the past year.

"In hindsight London 2012 was a bonus for me, but the end goal remains the same - to win gold," said the London-born fighter.
"Rio 2016 in particular means a lot to me and my dad because we worked out years ago that I would be in my prime now and ready to take gold."
Walkden will be making her Olympic debut in Rio and her selection completes an unlikely reversal in fortunes for the fighter who missed out on a place at London 2012 following a cruciate knee ligament injury in the build-up.
She suffered a second ACL injury at the end of 2014, but defied the expectations of medical experts by returning to the sport within months and claiming her maiden world title last year.
"I can't wait to get there now and take the chance to live my dream," she said.
"My journey to Rio has been a rollercoaster, so it's amazing to be selected, and winning at the Olympics would mean everything to me."
Four years ago, Ivory Coast-born Cho was considering a life away from taekwondo having missing out on London 2012 selection.
He briefly competed for France after moving to Paris to study, but was enticed back to the GB programme in early 2014 and earned Rio selection by winning the European Olympic qualification tournament earlier this year.
"As with any path to success there will always be tribulations," he said.
"Getting gold in Rio will be the cherry on top of the cake for me and something I've envisaged since I was a child."

The House of Bishops report said there was "little support" for changing the Church's teaching on marriage", that it was between one man and one woman.
It also said the Church needed to repent for homophobic attitudes.
The Church's General Synod will discuss the report in London next month.
The report follows three years of private "shared conversations" about the Church's future policy on sexuality.
It also said all potential clergy - straight and gay - will be asked about their sexual conduct and will face the same questions about their lifestyle.
The Right Reverend Graham James, Bishop of Norwich, said that "present arrangements for asking ordinands [priests in training] and clergy about their relationships and lifestyle are not really working very well".
He said there was "too much concentration" on whether they were in sexually active same-sex relationships rather than framing questions about sexual morality.
"All clergy are asked at their ordination whether they will fashion their lives 'after the way of Christ'," he said.
"We believe we should revisit how this is explored beforehand so the same questions are addressed to everybody without distinction."
But Andrew Foreshaw-Cain, a parish priest in north London who is in a same-sex marriage, told BBC Radio 4's The World at One programme that the report was "a failure of leadership".
He added: "The LGBT community is going to be extremely hurt by this. We were asked to trust our leaders and many of us made ourselves vulnerable during the shared conversations process and none of that has been heard.
"The bishops have gone ahead and talked as if we didn't take part in it and as if we are not there.
"The majority of practising Anglicans are now in favour of supporting same-sex relationships and none of that is recognised by the bishops."
By Martin Bashir, BBC religious affairs correspondent
For an ancient institution, three years of "shared conversations" around the subject of same sex marriage may not seem like a long time but today's report from the House of Bishops has already been met with widespread anger by lesbian and gay members of the Church of England.
The decision to maintain the church's position that marriage is "the lifelong union of one man and one woman" means that the courage and commitment displayed by members of the LGBT community in discussing the most intimate aspects of their lives has come to nought.
The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement has already announced that while it will work with the Church of England, it will not wait indefinitely for change.
But for conservative evangelicals within the Church of England, the bishops have upheld the authority of scripture against the impact of cultural change. Thus, they argue, marriage is between a man and a woman, which is faithful to the teachings of Christ.
In an open letter to the bishops, the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement said the report was proposing a "don't ask, don't tell" plan for gay clergy.
"This essentially asks clergy to dissemble and keep the nature of their relationships hidden - far from equalising the situation between straight and gay clergy, it pushes LGBTI+ clergy back into the closet," it said.
The organisation's chief executive Tracey Byrne said: "LGBTI+ people who have participated in this process in good faith, at considerable personal cost, will feel angry and disappointed that there appears so little real change...
"This is another missed opportunity which further undermines the mission of the established Church to convey the gospel promise of good news for everyone."
But, in response, Mr James said: "This is not 'don't ask, don't tell' in any shape or form."
Jayne Ozanne, a member of the Church's General Synod who is an openly gay Christian, said: "Believing you can change your tone so that we're given 'welcome and support' whilst teaching that our being in a loving faithful same-sex relationship, which by definition has to be outside of marriage because you won't permit it, is sinful is ludicrous."
Susie Leafe of the group Reform, whose members are mostly evangelical Anglicans, has praised the stance on marriage and the plan to welcome everyone into the Church.
However, she has concerns about "permitting maximum freedom within this law".
"In adopting a framework which seeks to take a middle path between biblical truth and cultural sensitivities, the bishops have ensured theological incoherence and hypocrisy will prevail for the foreseeable future, with all the hurt and confusion that will cause," she said.
"In so doing they have failed in their primary pastoral duty to teach truth and drive away error."
The Commons Education Committee says many schools lacked facilities and that this limited opportunities for youngsters to get involved in sport.
Without wide experience of sport in school many elite athletes would not have discovered their talent, they add.
The government said schools would have £300m to spend on PE over two years.
MPs on the committee say funding systems should be changed to enable long-term investment.
The committee highlighted the fact that the London Games was the first "where the notion of legacy was built into the initial bid".
But some said the "opportunity to inspire a generation and build on the success" of the Olympics had been "missed", while another described it as "on life support".
Although there was a surge in interest in sports, the committee heard, it did not translate into "people turning up at clubs".
The School Games, in which schools compete against each other from local to national level, was pointed to by some witnesses as a good example of the Olympic Legacy.
But there were concerns that it only appealed to talented athletes and that not all children would be able to take part.
And it was pointed out that the School Games needed much more guaranteed funding for it to last as a legacy.
The committee also heard concerns about the lack of sporting facilities in schools, with swimming pools highlighted as a particular problem.
One east London school, Plashet School, stressed how important it was that local people got to use the facilities of the Olympic Park, such as the aquatics centre.
The head teacher of a school in Cornwall talked about the difficulties of rural schools like hers getting access to facilities at all.
However, ministers insisted that more than 1,000 facilities had already been upgraded, but admitted more needed to be done.
The committee also heard from elite athletes how important it was for young people to access a broad range of sports so that they could see whether they were good at an activity or not.
The committee concluded that the chance to realise a legacy of the Games had not yet been lost, further action needed to ensure it lasted into the future.
Committee chairman Graham Stuart said: "High quality school sport is vitally important. It provides young people with opportunities to improve their education, health and well-being.
"We need to be encouraging all young people to take part in sport; whether they enjoy the competition of football, rugby or netball or prefer non-competitive activities. Schools must provide a range of activities that appeal to all.
"Successive governments have kicked school sport around as a political football, announcing short-term fixes without any sustained vision for the future. Occasional pump-priming is simply not good enough for something so important.
"If the government want to capitalise on the legacy of London 2012 it must commit to programmes and funding for the long-term."
A Department for Education spokesman said the government had spent £750,000 training specialist PE teachers and schools would be given £300m to spend on physical education over the next two years.
"We have asked Ofsted to hold schools to account for how they well they spend the money," he said.
The new PE curriculum would end the "damaging 'prizes for all' culture", the DfE added.
But shadow education secretary Stephen Twigg said: "A year after the Olympics, David Cameron and Michael Gove have failed to create a legacy for school sport.
"Surveys suggest pupils are not doing enough PE, and the replacement for Labour's successful School Sport Partnerships is slammed by this independent committee as little more than a gimmick. This government needs to take school sport seriously - they should start with restoring Labour's requirement that all pupils do a minimum of two hours of sport a week."
The report also warned against an overemphasis on competitive sport in school.
It said: "The government has placed an emphasis on competitive sport being taught in schools. While this brings with it many benefits, this emphasis can also deter many young people from taking part in sport at all.
"We recommend that the Department for Education makes clear to all schools that they must offer both competitive and non-competitive sporting opportunities for their pupils, to ensure that all young people feel able to take part in sport and enjoy the benefits it brings."

But in many ways it goes to the heart of the dilemma facing the NHS in the 21st Century: how to meet the rising demands being placed on the health service.
Not only are there more people, but those people are living longer with a range of conditions that require care, treatment and support.
That is because medicine is advancing all the time, and so people are surviving diseases and illnesses that in the past would have killed them.
It can be seen in the growing numbers of people living with heart disease, cancer, dementia and, in this case, HIV.
It means the costs to the NHS are rising - all the time.
Close to three-quarters of the NHS budget goes on treatments aimed at helping people manage their conditions rather than cure them.
The response of government and health experts has been to call for a greater emphasis on prevention to try to stop as many of these conditions developing in the first place.
Hence, efforts are put into stopping people smoking, drinking too much and eating the wrong foods too often.
Prep is a form of prevention - albeit not aimed at stopping the risky behaviour, rather reducing the risk that behaviour leads to problems.
In that sense, you could argue, it is more akin to, say, statins, used to lower cholesterol levels, or the weight loss drug orlistat than it is to a stop-smoking clinic - and this is part of the underlying reason councils argued it was the responsibility of the NHS to fund it.
But the other reason is that councils simply have not got the money.
The funding they get for public health - currently £3bn a year across England - is being cut, leading to local authorities having to carefully balance the merits of sexual health clinics against, say, weight-loss programmes.
And even if the decision by the High Court on Tuesday that the NHS can fund the treatment is upheld - NHS England is appealing against it - there is no guarantee the money will be found from its own £100bn-plus budget.
Prep will have to go into the mix along with a host of other new treatments the NHS is being asked to fund this year.
NHS England considered 22 new treatments and services that required additional funding on cost and effectiveness grounds.
So far just nine have been considered a high enough priority for spending, including a new type of radiotherapy, robotic surgery for kidney cancer and a novel way of carrying out obesity surgery on children.
Funding for another nine is on hold and will now be reviewed again alongside Prep (if required).
Certainly a strong case could and will be made for the HIV treatment. But at an estimated cost of between £10m to £20m a year, the fact that condoms provide a cheaper alternative to prevention will also be taken into account alongside the cases that can be made for the other treatments.
This is why if you speak to anyone involved in these sort of decisions they will say they're really tough - and as the years go by they will just get tougher.

The BEF said it will conduct an independent investigation in response to Salmon's comments.
Chair Joanne Shaw said the BEF is considering appointing an interim CEO in place of Salmon, who was appointed in February 2016.
UK Sport told the BBC that it endorsed the BEF's independent investigation.
The BEF is one of several national sporting bodies asked by UK Sport to comply with a new Code for Sports Governance by November 2017.
Organisations must adhere to "gold standards" of transparency, accountability and financial integrity, while the code also sets out a target of at least 30% gender diversity on boards.
Shaw said the BEF will review its "cultural values and behaviour" and update its "structure and processes" to ensure it complies with the new code.
The 12-1 winner was running in his first race for trainer Alan King after being moved from Martin Keighley.
Annacotty held on from the fast-finishing Buywise, with Sound Investment third and Double Ross fourth.
Popham, who has endured an injury-plagued career, was congratulated afterwards by Keighley.
"That was the most incredible feeling. I thought my career was on its backside," said Popham.
King added: "Ian has been riding him at home and reckoned he was in good form and the change of scenery has probably helped freshen him up a little."
Favourite Kings Palace, trained by David Pipe, finished down the field in 11th place.
Jockeys wore black armbands with tricolours as a mark of respect for the victims of the Paris attacks in which at least 128 people were killed. A minute's silence was observed before racing.
1 Annacotty (Alan King) Ian Popham 12-1
2 Buywise (Evan Williams) Paul Moloney 10-1
3 Sound Investment (Paul Nicholls) Sam Twiston-Davies 20-1
4 Double Ross (Nigel Twiston-Davies) Ryan Hatch 16-1
5 Irish Cavalier (Rebecca Curtis) Paul Townend 8-1
20 ran. Distances: ½ length, ¾ length, 3¼ lengths
"Racing is a sentimental old thing and loves to celebrate a fairytale win for an underdog, and Ian Popham's victory on Annacotty was just that.
"While injury is part and parcel of being a jump jockey, Popham's had more than his fair share.
"So a great day for him against better-fancied, better-known rivals, and little wonder he was emotional about it afterwards. The horse has recently moved stables and is clearly on good terms with himself; a return to Cheltenham for the big steeplechase in mid-December seems likely."
The claim came from the head of the NHS Confederation, Nigel Edwards, in a letter to the Daily Telegraph.
Mr Edwards said people who needed medical treatment may be denied a hospital bed as a result of the cuts.
The Department for Health responded that an extra £2bn was being allocated to protect social care.
Health spending was ring-fenced in Chancellor George Osborne's Spending Review.
However, councils in England are facing a 27% cut in central government funding over the next four years.
Mr Edwards, whose organisation represents health service bodies in England, said the £2bn "interim solution to social care funding" announced in the Spending Review would be a "welcome relief to many"
Bur he said the funding squeeze could still have a "knock-on effect" on the health service.
In his letter to the Telegraph, Mr Edwards said: "Less support from council services will quickly lead to increased pressure on emergency services and hospitals.
"Hospital beds will be blocked for those who badly need care because the support services the elderly require after discharge will not be available."
• £81bn cut from public spending over four years
• 19% average departmental cuts - less than the 25% expected
• £7bn extra welfare cuts, including changes to incapacity, housing benefit and tax credits
• £1.8bn increase in public sector pension employee contributions by 2014
• Rise in state pension age brought forward
• 7% cut for local councils from April next year
• Permanent bank levy
• Rail fares to rise 3% above inflation from 2012
He added: "When it comes to the care of the most vulnerable in our society, it really is essential that the NHS and local authorities are in it together."
The Department of Health said it understood that "social care can impact on NHS demands".
A spokeswoman said: "That's why we are strengthening programmes like re-ablement and the 30-day re-admission tariff, which will integrate hospital care with care in the community.
"We have allocated an additional £2bn by 2014-15 - this extra boost, alongside an ambitious programme of efficiency, will ensure that there is enough funding available both to protect people's access to services and deliver new approaches to improve quality and outcomes.
"We expect local health and social care professionals will work together to ensure that the funding is spent on joint health and social care priorities and improve outcomes for everyone."
Councillor David Rogers, from the Local Government Association, said the extra £2bn would not go very far.
"Of course that is very welcome, but as part of what councils said to the government before the Spending Review, there's likely to be a gap over that same time of about £6bn.
"So, there are still going to be difficulties. But I think that the important thing is to ensure that both councils and the NHS locally work increasingly closely together to provide the best service to our residents."
On Thursday, critics expressed concerns over whether the £2bn earmarked for social care, half of which is to come from a direct grant to local government, would reach its intended target.
Jennifer Dixon, chief executive of the Nuffield Trust think tank, said: "The reality is that local authority budgets will be stretched and funds for social care are not ring-fenced, so the extra £1bn per year is by no means certain."
The incident happened around the time of the annual Guid Nychburris parade in Dumfries on Saturday.
A 21-year-old man suffered bruising to his face and a cut to his back in the attack in the Mill Green area at about 17:40.
Police said the incident involved two groups of youths, and two other people suffered minor injuries.
A statement said that a "large number" of people had been involved in the fracas.
Det Con Paul Steele said: "The town was very busy around this time with the Guid Nychburris celebrations in full swing.
"We want to hear from anyone who may have witnessed what was a serious disturbance on the Mill Green at this time involving up to eight to 10 youths, all of whom appeared to be in their mid-teens and were wearing casual sports type clothing."

It's no longer just famous names who are selling their works. A growing number of art fairs and online marketplaces mean new artists starting out are also able to reach buyers well beyond their home markets.
"It's just a crazy time at the moment," says Alex Rotter, chairman of post-war and contemporary art at auction house Christie's, apologising for his late call.
We manage to speak just days before he kicks off the auction house's New York sale of 26 contemporary art works from husband-and-wife property development duo Jerry and Emily Spiegel.
This kind of single-owner collection "gathered with one breath", as Mr Rotter describes it, is rare.
The sale includes famous works by Christopher Wool and Sigmar Polke. With these two pieces valued at $20m (£15.5m) each, the 26 works are expected to raise $100m in total.
While the collection is being sold in New York, the top pieces have already been on a mini-world tour - travelling to Hong Kong, London and Los Angeles in a bid to drum up international interest.
"If you commit to buying a painting worth thousands of dollars then you want to see it first," says Mr Rotter.
Global art and antique sales totalled $57bn last year, down 11% on 2015, with the US dominating the marketplace, closely followed by the UK and China.
On a practical level, this means that delicate and often precious paintings have to travel thousands of miles without being damaged.
The value of Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with Ermine painting was considered so great that when it was sent from its Polish home to the US, it was reportedly given its own first-class plane seat, as well as an armed guard to make sure it reached its destination intact.
While this kind of treatment is exceptional, valuable paintings are typically transported in expensive protective crates complete with detectors to monitor humidity and temperature levels.
British artist Paul West says that when he secured his first sale through online marketplace Artfinder to a buyer in Australia, his initial reaction was a joyous "yes", followed by a sinking realisation that he now had to get the piece there safely.
In the three years since he joined the website, Mr West has sold around 47 paintings, with almost a third of these to buyers in the US and Australia.
He recommends lots of bubble wrap and masking tape, and to tape sponge onto the corners.
So far his worst mishap has been a hold-up at customs, which meant a painting took a month rather than a week to reach its destination.
For the 52-year-old, selling outside the UK has broadened his opportunities.
"Access to the global market is a massive plus. I was producing work I was pleased with, but apart from art fairs, it was quite hard to be seen," he says.
Artfinder founder and chief executive Jonas Almgren set up the service in 2013. He wanted to provide independent artists such as Mr West, who weren't already represented by a gallery, with a place to sell their work.
The online marketplace now features artists from 108 countries, with customers similarly global.
Originally a Silicon Valley software engineer, Mr Almgren subsequently spent a decade working in high-end galleries in New York, where a painting under $10,000 was considered affordable.
He says his experience taught him that most artists "just didn't have a chance" to succeed, and he wanted to change this.
The firm charges a 30% commission on all sales, and to address the obvious issue that it's hard to buy something so visual online, funds free returns.
Last year the firm sold £5m worth of paintings.
The company has given him an insight into how global tastes differ.
While landscape and abstract paintings are popular everywhere, the UK particularly likes paintings of cats and dogs, he says. In contrast, US buyers prefer portraits and typically buy bigger paintings, probably because they tend to have bigger homes.
The pound's current weakness against the dollar also means that US buyers can afford to spend more on UK art.
But the most important thing, says Mr Almgren, is that his firm tries to cater for all tastes.
"A gallery always has a very strong taste. We've taken that model and turned it upside down," he says.
Rise Art had similar ambitions to shake up the existing market. Set up in 2011, the start-up focuses on online sales, with prices from £200 to £30,000.
While online sales remain a small part of the overall global art market - less than 10% - reports suggest it's a growing area.
But founder and chief executive Scott Phillips admits that no matter how good the virtual images are, an artwork "always looks better in the flesh". To help buyers' confidence, the site enables them to rent artworks and live with a piece before committing.
The firm is much more selective than Artfinder, accepting only 1% to 5% of the artists who apply to sell via the site. Rise Art also charges a higher commission of 40%.
Mr Phillips says websites like his are part of a new, more sensitive wave of disruptive firms. Unlike eBay and Amazon, which, he says, have commoditised products and been "a destructive power in some ways", Rise Art "celebrates creativity, giving artists a new vehicle for selling and showcasing their work".
While he's cagey on precise numbers, the firm now ships to 40 countries and revenue for the first three months of this year was 110% higher than a year ago.
The Affordable Art Fair (AAF) has experienced similarly rapid growth. Since starting out in London's Battersea Park in 1999, it now holds fairs in more than 10 cities around the world.
Founder Will Ramsay says the motivation behind the business was to prove that "you don't need to be a squillionaire to buy art".
While prices can be as high as £5,000 for a single painting, the AAF's average selling price in the UK is £600.
The firm makes its money by charging the galleries for the space they rent at its fairs, as well as through ticket prices and sponsors.
Recently, the firm has started online sales, an area Mr Ramsay sees as complementing the art fairs.
He owns two televisions - one to watch the video art he has accumulated and the other to watch normal TV. He says the 130 pieces of art he has collected are "memories through my life".

Groves, 29, has lost in contesting world honours three times, twice to Carl Froch and most recently to Badou Jack, for the WBC strap he has since vacated.
Chudinov, also 29, held the WBA title until defeat by Felix Sturm in February of last year.
But Sturm vacated the title in October having tested positive for a steroid.
The controversial points defeat was the first of Chudinov's 15-fight career, while Groves will enter the Sheffield bout with a record of 25 wins and three losses.

The place of worship in Nome, North Dakota, was recently purchased by Craig Cobb, who tried to set up a whites-only enclave in another part of the state.
The blaze was reported on Wednesday afternoon and the structure was razed by the time fire crews arrived after nearly an hour.
Cobb said the fire at the former Zion Lutheran church was "100% arson".
He told WDAY-TV, a Fargo-based news station, that he is offering a reward of $2,000 (£1,600) to anyone with any information related to the incident, which he said was a direct attack on his life.
Local residents said that it appeared Cobb had not yet moved in the 108-year-old building.
He says the gas and electric utilities had not been hooked up, so the fire could not have been accidental.
The blaze occurred on the same day that news of the sale appeared on the front page of the Fargo Forum newspaper.
The North Dakota State Fire Marshal's Office is helping with the investigation.
Cobb told WDAY-TV that he is considering several options about what to do next.
He says he might open a new church called "the President Donald J Trump Church of Rome", not Nome, the town located about 70 miles (112km) southwest of Fargo.
Cobb is one of the best known white supremacists in North America, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups.
In 2011, he began buying run-down properties in the tiny town of Leith, just southwest of Bismarck, North Dakota, with the plan of turning it into an Aryan stronghold.
Three years later he was sentenced to four years of supervised probation for terrorising Leith. | A fire that destroyed a church owned by a well-known white supremacist in a small US town is under investigation. | 39,368,675 | 384 | 30 | false |
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed it spent £946,659 on bills and £138,000 on repairs at Bassingbourn Barracks.
Some 300 cadets were sent to the barracks, with five later jailed for sex attacks in nearby Cambridge.
All cadets being trained to support the then new Libyan government were returned home in November.
Moktar Ali Saad Mahmoud, 33, and Ibrahim Abugtila, 23, were both jailed for 12 years, for the rape of a man on Christ's Pieces, in October 2014.
On the same night Khaled El Azibi, 19, Ibrahim Naji El Maarfi, 21, and 28-year-old Mohammed Abdalsalam fled the barracks and carried out sex attacks on three women.
El Azibi was sentenced to 12 months and El Maarfi and Abdalsalam each to 10 months.
All three have been released and are seeking asylum in the UK.
A Freedom of Information request by the BBC revealed Bassingbourn is costing the MoD £32,250 a month in business rates.
"Since the Libyan cadets left in November, the MoD has paid £544,659 in business rates and £402,000 in utilities," it said.
It refused to disclose how much it has paid for security at the site, where guards are on 24-hour patrols.
The MoD said: "We continue to pay for utilities as the barracks remain in use and those on site need access to electricity and water.
"Bassingbourn is a very large site so naturally running costs are high.
